00:00:00.000 We get fired up during the campaign season.
00:00:02.060 We volunteer, we donate, we vote.
00:00:03.900 And then when the election is over, we go back to our lives and assume the people we elected will handle the rest.
00:00:08.380 How's that working out for us?
00:00:09.660 The other side never stops.
00:00:10.860 They don't take years off.
00:00:12.020 They don't wait for the next election cycle.
00:00:13.540 They understand that culture is shaped every day by the institutions, organizations, and businesses that receive our support.
00:00:20.100 And that is one of the reasons I talk to you about Patriot Mobile so often.
00:00:23.180 Yes, they provide excellent wireless service.
00:00:25.080 You get the coverage on all three major networks, unlimited data, you know, mobile hotspots, international roaming, customer sport right here in America.
00:00:33.460 All of that stuff, it's better than with the big guys.
00:00:36.900 You can keep your phone number, keep your phone, get a new one, whatever you want.
00:00:40.620 But they take a portion of their profits and they donate it to organizations that defend the values that help make this country great in the first place.

00:03:15.520 don't know why this guy was trying to behead another guy they have no idea what the motivation
00:03:21.960 might be uh uh okay sure so um we're gonna we're gonna take that on here about the bottom of the
00:03:30.940 hour because uh there seems to be a problem with knives and they have the same root we'll talk
00:03:36.440 about that coming up in just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour
00:03:40.760 I learned long ago that there are some things in life that you can get away with doing yourself.
00:03:47.480 You know, you can paint a room yourself.
00:03:49.100 You can mow your lawn yourself.
00:03:50.480 You're feeling particularly adventurous.
00:03:52.240 You can even watch a few videos online and convince yourself that you can replace the garbage disposal.
00:03:57.680 Sometimes it works out.
00:03:58.760 Sometimes it creates a story for your family for years.
00:04:01.080 But there are other things where experience matters.
00:04:03.700 Buying or selling a home is one of them because this isn't about finding a house that you like or putting a sign in the yard.
00:04:09.460 It's about negotiations.
00:04:10.760 It's about timing, market knowledge, knowing when to push, knowing when to wait, and when to walk away.
00:04:16.240 That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
00:04:18.180 It is a network of people who are top sellers in your area and have proven that they know how to work hard and they know what they're doing.
00:04:25.000 So check out realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:04:27.880 We'll show you how to buy, sell a home, even in a tough market.
00:04:30.600 The name says it all.
00:04:33.260 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:04:36.120 okay let me tell you uh what happened the jury in collin county deliberated for about three hours
00:04:44.940 before finding anthony uh guilty of first-degree murder and the death of 17 year old uh who now
00:04:51.580 has to you know they're now deciding um you know are they gonna are they gonna have a you know
00:04:59.440 retrial are they gonna file an appeal of course they will of course they will and i'll get to
00:05:03.120 that here in a second. This thing is such an unbelievable tragedy. And I was thinking last
00:05:09.260 night, what should we take away from all of this? First, let's look at the deliberation. Happened
00:05:13.260 in about two and a half hours, okay? That tells us the evidence was overwhelming. Two and a half
00:05:18.860 hours. Dozens of witnesses. By the way, the minority makeup of this jury, we think, was about
00:05:26.460 uh a third to half minority okay um now what did they have they had all kinds of video they had
00:05:35.460 body cam footage uh they had witnesses they had the medical examiner's testimony about that single
00:05:42.620 fatal wound to the heart and it wasn't long before the jury just you know there was no murky facts
00:05:48.400 here to debate it was a clear case of escalation a knife brought to a teenage verbal spat under a
00:05:55.720 team tent in a rain delay and there were words a push and a deadly response what they got him
00:06:02.720 with is a law in in texas where uh it was a disproportionate response that's what it was
00:06:10.000 because he was claiming self-defense and they were like yeah you know if anybody pushed anybody
00:06:14.540 you don't stab the guy in the heart jury saw through the narratives uh focused on the truth
00:06:20.140 because it was all right there in his face.
00:06:22.960 And in a world drowning in spin,
00:06:25.600 this is a powerful reminder that facts still matter
00:06:28.320 when good people are willing to weigh them honestly.
00:06:32.520 Now, let's talk about the appeal.
00:06:34.060 Is there going to be an appeal?
00:06:35.700 Absolutely.
00:06:36.540 With real credibility?
00:06:38.540 No, probably not.
00:06:40.280 They're going to attempt,
00:06:42.020 the defense teams are going to challenge the jury composition
00:06:45.640 and there's no black jurors seated
00:06:47.560 despite the racial tensions and all of that stuff.
00:06:50.000 But any credibility behind any of this?
00:06:53.340 I don't think so.
00:06:54.980 Prosecutors struck jurors for race-neutral reasons like occupations and prior experiences.
00:07:02.080 The evidence wasn't thin.
00:07:03.940 It was stacked.
00:07:05.560 The appeals court, at least in Texas, they look for legal errors.
00:07:10.060 They don't retry facts.
00:07:11.540 They look for legal errors.
00:07:12.640 And the verdict was pretty solid on self-defense, proportional force.
00:07:18.100 okay expect noise but don't bet on a reversal on any of this now what does it mean on the streets
00:07:29.420 because now we have to you know look at that too out on the streets uh some people were trying to
00:07:35.960 light the the fire and get everybody riled up agitators were pushing the you know free carmelo
00:07:42.600 chants and they were accusing people of racism and confrontation. So there was one guy who was
00:07:48.540 standing up against this guy who was just an animal, just an animal, trying just up in this
00:07:54.520 guy's face, just trying to get him to swing. And he didn't. Texans, God bless Texas. They didn't
00:08:05.600 take the bait. But here's what was said on the streets. Now, this one is the first one I'm going
00:08:10.440 play is a a next generation action network president okay so we have the NGOs out in the
00:08:22.060 street this is Dominique Alexander go ahead but what this process did is shown that black lives
00:08:28.900 do not matter in Collin County it showed us that time and time in American history it has shown us
00:08:36.820 to remove emotions from yet the law.
00:08:40.900 This trial showed that it put emotions over the law.
00:08:45.840 After Trayvon Martin and so many countless names,
00:08:49.920 it has shown us that black life is not safe in Collin County.
00:08:55.600 It showed us that they did not listen to the law.
00:09:01.200 It showed clearly that a judge interfered in this process.
00:09:05.580 it showed very clearly that a black boy was allowed not one black soul on a jury
00:09:15.140 an all all white jury okay no it wasn't an all white jury it wasn't an all white jury
00:09:26.840 okay uh it just if you're hispanic you're not white if you're asian you're not white
00:09:33.000 I don't know if you know that.
00:09:34.320 Not everybody is white or black.
00:09:37.800 Gosh, it just makes me so angry.
00:09:39.760 I'm sorry, shouldn't be that way.
00:09:41.540 Just makes me so angry listening to these lies that people are,
00:09:45.720 and they're because they're buying them.
00:09:47.420 People are buying into these lies.
00:09:51.600 Do you know why the black juror was, the final black juror was dismissed?
00:09:56.640 Because the final black juror, when asked, can you be neutral,
00:10:01.460 said and i quote i don't think i could put a black brother in prison well then you can't be
00:10:10.780 on the jury that wasn't that that was the system protecting the system of fairness you can't be on
00:10:18.960 the jury if you can't look beyond race god what is wrong with people okay now here's some other
00:10:27.500 supporters crying
00:10:29.520 and ranting after the verdict. Listen to this.
00:10:46.180 They're saying this
00:10:47.480 is sick. All kinds of stuff.
00:10:50.000 Now, listen to this supporter.
00:10:52.980 Listen to this
00:10:53.920 supporter.
00:10:56.460 Quoting
00:10:57.100 Carmelo, but as again, as a threat. Listen. Anytime a white man or white child can go and
00:11:04.460 put their hands aggressively on anybody and something like this occur, it's self-defense.
00:11:11.700 It's self-defense. You put your hand on me and see how I respond. What will the Anthony family,
00:11:16.820 what will the people that stand behind the Anthony family do? That's the question you should ask.
00:11:21.200 We're going to stand behind them and we're going to fight. That's what's going to happen.
00:11:24.740 Just like they're doing, Mr. Carvello, guess what?
00:11:27.020 It could be your child, little kids out here, it could be you.
00:11:31.720 And I'll be out here for y'all.
00:11:34.380 We got to fight for one another.
00:11:35.640 Stop, I don't want to hear anymore.
00:11:37.060 Let me ask you this.
00:11:38.880 Do you teach your child, if somebody grabs them or pushes them,
00:11:43.460 you reach for a knife and stab them in the heart?
00:11:48.040 If so, your children should be taken from you.
00:11:52.840 You're a bad parent.
00:11:54.740 that's not how a society no society can survive no civilization can survive if it is guerrilla
00:12:06.320 warfare so people were shouting there were tears it was hot but contained no widespread riots no
00:12:16.960 cities burning i think it's because the average person the average african-american
00:12:23.020 saw this story for what it is.
00:12:28.720 By the way, this is not weakness.
00:12:31.220 This is strength.
00:12:32.080 The community choosing restraint over rage.
00:12:36.080 Thank you.
00:12:37.500 Now, maybe North Texas can have some time to heal
00:12:41.600 and breathe and breathe just a little bit.
00:12:44.980 But let's not gloss over the human cost.
00:12:47.060 This is really, it's horrible.
00:12:51.420 Two families are shattered.
00:12:53.000 Austin Metcalf, gone 17, promising athlete, twin brother,
00:12:57.100 stabbed in a moment.
00:12:58.040 It should have never happened.
00:12:59.680 His parents and his brother, I mean, his father said,
00:13:02.400 you not only killed my son, you killed the man I used to be.
00:13:08.820 I can relate to that.
00:13:10.620 Can you imagine that feeling?
00:13:12.700 Then the other tragedy is Carmelo Anthony, 19 years old,
00:13:17.380 decades behind bars.
00:13:18.500 his life absolutely his future gone because of one choice both sides lose this isn't a victory
00:13:26.480 this is a tragedy so over what over what who wound this kid up who taught him that bringing
00:13:35.740 a knife to a school event was reasonable just in case who filled his mind with the idea that a grab
00:13:42.480 or a push, justified, lethal force that he could escalate, threaten, touch me and see what happens
00:13:49.660 and walk away unscathed. Who taught him that? I'll tell you. Our culture did. The entitlement
00:13:59.240 of grievance did. The glorification of toughness without any wisdom or thinking. The erosion of
00:14:05.700 basic self-control, the erosion of basic respect for other human beings. Before the stabbing,
00:14:14.780 the behavior, refusing to move, the warning, the weapon after flight. Then self-defense claims
00:14:22.900 because there's a media store and that takes a storm and that takes that tragedy into a proxy
00:14:28.940 war. This wasn't inevitable, but it was foreseeable, and it was cultivated.
00:14:40.640 Does this verdict heal the wounds? Probably not, because healing takes truth first. See,
00:14:49.580 people go in, and they have no personal responsibility for anything. I got to tell
00:14:57.760 you. There are people on January 6th that I feel for and those that I don't. There were those who
00:15:05.700 came in with intent. They were violent. They were doing horrible things. Shouldn't have been done.
00:15:15.320 Did they deserve the treatment that they got? Probably not. However, did they deserve some
00:15:20.680 jail time? Yeah. Everybody, all of those people, the grandmas and everybody else, certainly not.
00:15:30.020 But again, our progressive culture tries everybody by class or by group, by race or by voting habits.
00:15:41.060 This needs to be a system of the individual. The good news is this does send a desperately
00:15:50.160 needed message to our kids. Control yourselves or lose everything. Lose control of your impulse,
00:15:58.660 your pride, that little voice whispering inside of you saying, you can't touch me. It has
00:16:04.880 consequences. At least in Texas, it has consequences. Bring a knife to a stupid teenage spat and you
00:16:11.480 don't get to rewrite the story later. You know, everybody thinks accountability is cruel. It's not
00:16:17.640 cruel it is the guardrail that protects the entire civilization and it redeems the wayward
00:16:25.480 if you don't have accountability there's no redemption this is why i say is it going to heal
00:16:31.820 no probably not because i haven't seen anybody admit what the problem was
00:16:38.220 they just want to make it about race so there's no healing there's never any because there's
00:16:43.800 there's no punishment for the thing that went wrong there's no recognition and so what do you have
00:16:51.680 it's bittersweet because it's bitter because two bright young men
00:17:02.080 uh have had their lives taken from them one innocently the other one took a life but now
00:17:10.300 his life has gone to, and both families are grieving on what could have been. But it's sweet
00:17:17.080 because the truth has prevailed here. Division didn't explode, and perhaps, perhaps, this can
00:17:23.260 stand as a warning that will save other kids from the same path. You see, that is the hope here,
00:17:30.320 that you learn from this, that we as a society show this to our kids, and they learn, wow,
00:17:36.700 I can't get away with that kind of behavior. If we can reject the race-baiting hatred
00:17:42.860 that poisons everything in our society, if we teach our young
00:17:48.080 radical responsibility, courage, and fear of the Lord, honestly, instead of victimhood and
00:17:56.960 vengeance, then maybe we start healing. And not just from this, but from everything else that's
00:18:03.900 tearing our citizens and our country apart.
00:18:06.580 Choose truth.
00:18:07.960 Choose self-control.
00:18:09.500 Choose life.
00:18:13.580 We are told this too shall pass.
00:18:16.660 But it only passes
00:18:17.940 if we learn
00:18:19.620 the lesson.
00:18:22.720 One last thing.
00:18:25.220 God bless that jury.
00:18:28.120 And God bless the great state
00:18:30.080 of Texas. Alright, back in just a second.
00:18:32.080 let me tell you about simply safe most criminals have something in common they are not lazy well
00:18:39.120 not all of them i mean you know you know uh once in a while you'll read about some international
00:18:45.300 master criminal who spent three years you know planning an elaborate heist you know but most
00:18:51.040 crime isn't like that most criminals are looking for the same thing the the path of least is it
00:18:55.940 resistance. And there is an easy target, the lowest hanging fruit, the home that looks like
00:19:01.820 nobody's paying attention at all. That's why deterrence matters so much. Because the goal
00:19:06.260 of a security system isn't just to help after something bad happens. The goal is to make the
00:19:11.360 bad guy decide he'd rather go someplace else. It is one of the reasons I like SimpliSafe. With
00:19:15.980 active guard outdoor protection, SimpliSafe can help detect threats outside your home before they
00:19:21.200 ever reach your front door. Train agents can see what's happening. They can speak through the
00:19:25.400 system, and they can help intervene in real time. In other words, they let people know that somebody
00:19:30.580 is paying attention, and that changes everything. Right now, you can get 50% off your new system by
00:19:35.760 visiting simplisafe.com slash back. That's half off at simplisafe.com slash back. There is no safe
00:19:41.740 like SimpliSafe. 10 seconds, station ID.

00:20:58.040 the size of the united states it's a louisiana purchase um these episodes cover so much lewis
00:21:03.320 Clark, the expedition, the war of 1812. I learned stuff doing that episode. I didn't even know the
00:21:10.440 Mexican American war. I didn't really know what that was about. Oh my gosh, that's an important
00:21:14.800 war. A chock full of really great thing in summertime travel season, perfect time to
00:21:20.060 experience this kind of season. If you're a torch insider, you have access now to episodes one
00:21:25.840 through 15 right now. Here's a preview from episode 11 with an event that starts in Haiti.
00:21:32.800 Listen.
00:21:34.120 A cup catches the blood and is passed around.
00:21:38.400 One by one, the participants take a drink
00:21:41.060 and make a vow of vengeance against their white oppressors.
00:21:45.620 There is no turning back now.
00:21:50.980 As later recorded by a French doctor,
00:21:53.620 one of these runaway slaves recalled the words that were spoken that night.
00:21:57.860 The hour of vengeance is coming.
00:21:59.960 tomorrow night all the whites are to be exterminated no more delays no more fears
00:22:08.140 the conspiracy extends everywhere leaving the whites no refuge or hope of salvation
00:22:15.460 all will meet the same fate episode that you have to hear because it it parallels so much
00:22:22.240 that is going on here in America now.
00:22:26.040 But it shows also,
00:22:27.980 did you know that Haiti made a literal pact with Satan?
00:22:32.840 Did you know that?
00:22:33.980 I didn't know that.
00:22:35.140 Almost the same time we are making a pact with God,
00:22:38.020 they're making a pact with Satan
00:22:39.420 and they want to kill all of their French oppressors.
00:22:45.400 And they get around, make a pact, drink blood,
00:22:49.160 and then they get into the boats.
00:22:51.120 It's an amazing story.
00:22:52.820 And guess where they end up?
00:22:54.100 They go out and the French start to flee.
00:22:56.460 And where do they flee?
00:22:57.520 New Orleans.
00:22:58.800 How do we get voodoo in New Orleans?

00:23:40.840 And they show up a little bit at a time, not one big purchase, dozens of little ones.

00:23:53.900 you're writing checks every month to pay interest on decisions you barely remember making. And that
00:23:58.020 is the thing about high interest debt. It doesn't feel urgent day to day. It just sits there,
00:24:03.980 quietly taking a bite out of your paycheck every month. That's why you should check out the smart

00:24:45.900 listening to us in new york city stan welcome glad you're here
00:25:02.320 hey who's this dylan yes it is sir oh pleasure to be speaking with you dude um
00:25:11.420 thank you thanks for taking my call yeah i wanted to comment on your segment you were just doing
00:25:18.500 about the uh the stabbing in texas yeah yeah i just i'm a black guy right and uh you know i just
00:25:28.040 want to say first of all that you know all black communities don't feel the same i hope people
00:25:33.660 you know yeah it's kind of you know it's weird stan because it's like not all white people think
00:25:40.580 the same why don't all black people think the same it's stupid i would imagine you know people
00:25:46.740 tend to group and tend to yes think that that that's the case but it's but it's really not
00:25:52.560 you know people are individuals you know collectively tell you the truth we're all
00:25:57.200 americans so truthfully and told we all need to stop i love you the ball you know we're all
00:26:03.560 americans let's just stop the crap it's really ridiculous you know and uh because let me tell
00:26:09.120 you had that been had that scenario been reversed or it would have been a big it would have been a
00:26:15.600 you know that would have been a big cabal you know and and you know truthfully just seems like
00:26:22.180 either way it goes the race car is always pulled and that's always an issue you know we but you
00:26:29.340 know what stan i think that you know because i i said i hope that you know what we're seeing are
00:26:35.960 just a few NGOs and a few people, uh, that really don't get it. And I believe because there wasn't
00:26:42.100 a big uprising yesterday in Texas, that that's not the way the black, the majority of the black
00:26:46.660 community feels some do some don't. Um, but you know, maybe we are getting past this. Maybe this
00:26:54.020 is a sign that we're getting past it a little bit. This may be a baby step in the right direction.
00:26:59.980 Thank you, Stan. I appreciate it. Especially hearing common sense coming out of New York
00:27:03.420 City. We have two knife attacks, and that's what everybody is talking about. And these knife
00:27:10.240 attacks, we're not supposed to notice a pattern, I think. We were just talking about in Texas,
00:27:16.800 Carmelo Anthony, convicted of first-degree murder, 35 years for stabbing, verbal spat,
00:27:25.000 we got it. Now, what happens next? Jury took two and a half hours, evidence is clear.
00:27:33.420 But across the ocean, there is another knife attack that everybody's talking about.
00:27:38.200 Happened in Belfast, that's Northern Ireland.
00:27:41.020 Just days ago, I don't know if you saw it, it was horrible.
00:27:44.220 June 8th, a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum seeker, they're still not sure where he's from,
00:27:50.680 but he was charged with attempted murder after a brutal knife attack on a local man in his 40s, Stephen Ogilvy.
00:27:58.720 and we have the video of him now on the ground
00:28:02.240 just hacking at this guy's throat.
00:28:05.180 It is horrible.
00:28:07.380 Straddling the guy on the ground,
00:28:09.180 slashing his head and his neck,
00:28:11.580 trying to hack his head off.
00:28:13.740 Victim lost his left eye,
00:28:15.900 suffered devastating wounds to his face,
00:28:18.100 his neck and his back.
00:28:19.180 He's still fighting for his life in the hospital.
00:28:21.440 He's not dead yet.
00:28:23.140 Now, so what happened?
00:28:24.380 Well, I think you're starting to see
00:28:26.000 the Bubba effect in Ireland.
00:28:28.280 Protests erupt all across Belfast.
00:28:30.540 Fires burn, vehicles clashes
00:28:32.420 because it's years of frustration now boiling over.
00:28:37.180 And it was bad because what have I told you
00:28:41.620 in the Bubba effect?
00:28:42.720 What is the Bubba effect?
00:28:44.180 The government has screwed things up.
00:28:46.320 Bubba goes in.
00:28:47.200 He thinks he's gonna take vengeance on a Muslim.
00:28:50.200 He kills a sheik because he's wearing a turban
00:28:52.340 even though Muslims don't wear a turban.
00:28:54.260 And everybody's like, Bubba, what did you do?
00:28:56.020 and they know they have to punish Bubba
00:28:58.220 they know he has to go to jail
00:28:59.600 but the federal government comes in
00:29:01.020 and they're like no back off
00:29:03.580 we know Bubba did wrong
00:29:05.480 but we'll take care of that
00:29:07.400 not you you're the cause of it
00:29:09.320 so what is what are you seeing in Belfast
00:29:11.620 they went and they set fires at houses
00:29:14.840 that supposedly were for immigrants
00:29:18.180 some immigrants are you know
00:29:20.640 they're not Muslim
00:29:21.780 they're not from Africa whatever
00:29:24.320 and they were standing outside
00:29:25.660 I go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:29:27.020 It doesn't matter.
00:29:27.820 You've enraged the mob.
00:29:30.180 And the world wants to talk about isolated incidents
00:29:33.080 and then far-right group unrest.
00:29:37.120 Let me tell you what's really happening here.
00:29:39.660 Everything you're seeing, these are horrors.
00:29:41.780 They're downstream from progressive policies
00:29:44.620 that have weakened our kids,
00:29:46.980 they have erased our borders, erased our history,
00:29:49.980 erased common sense,
00:29:51.300 and punished anybody who dares notice the consequences.
00:29:55.160 We here in America have raised generations now without any clear identity.
00:30:00.620 I'm going to get into this next hour.
00:30:01.980 You've got to listen to next hour.
00:30:03.320 No moral guidelines, no self-control, no personal responsibility.
00:30:09.520 Race has been weaponized by politicians to divide us instead of uniting us under one creed.
00:30:15.900 Kids don't know who they are anymore.
00:30:18.120 So a disagreement over a seat in a tent escalates immediately to murder.
00:30:22.700 We have sown entitlement, we have sown grievance, and we're now reaping the knives in schools and parking lots.
00:30:32.860 In Belfast, across the UK, Europe, same globalist mindset, open the floodgates.
00:30:38.960 Diversity is our strength. Since when?
00:30:43.800 Unity is our strength. Coming together, even though we're diverse people, coming together under one principle, that's a strength.
00:30:50.400 imagine having an army and going you know what these guys are all going to do whatever they
00:30:56.100 want they're all from different armies and they're all from different things we're just
00:30:59.160 going to let them do what they want diversity is our strength they'd be slaughtered on the field
00:31:03.220 then the people who are preaching this garbage to us brand concerned citizens as racist for
00:31:12.160 pointing out the obvious you know not every arrival comes to assimilate to melt into western
00:31:17.540 society to respect our laws and customs not every incident is about race we've seen the spikes in
00:31:25.320 knife crime grooming gangs rapes violence authorities that downplay or deny and then
00:31:31.420 accuse the people who are saying wait a minute this is my neighborhood accuse them of being
00:31:35.860 racist and let me just talk about beheadings because i don't know the last time you saw
00:31:40.860 somebody in the street trying to hack somebody's head off but i looked it up england hasn't had
00:31:46.060 beheadings since 1747. We weren't even a country. And the guy that they beheaded was executed for
00:31:55.360 treason. So 1747 was the last time people were beheaded in Great Britain until the mass migration
00:32:04.520 from certain Muslim majority countries brought the ideology and the blades with it. I have now
00:32:10.620 seen in the last five years two people on the streets of england one was beheaded he was a
00:32:16.800 soldier gee i wonder what that was and now this one where they tried to cut the guy's head off
00:32:22.440 gee and the press is like i don't know we don't know the we don't have a probable cause probable
00:32:29.400 cause probable cause we don't know the cause but you don't know the probable cause i know it was
00:32:40.000 probably rooted in that guy's culture probable cause i mean it could be the cultural class
00:32:50.440 rooted in islamic patterns of violence that have no place in western society that's probable isn't
00:32:57.700 it i mean good enough is enough enough is enough people are rising up because the elites ignored
00:33:05.580 them for too long if you keep telling people that they are stupid bigoted far right just for
00:33:12.980 preferring straight safe streets and a coherent community where their children aren't continually
00:33:20.080 raped and you and and and they just don't want imported chaos because they got enough chaos in
00:33:28.340 their lives we have enough problems with crime in with with americans we don't need to bring more
00:33:33.860 people in that are criminals that want to behead people you know towns just didn't slide into
00:33:40.520 third world violence by accident it happened when leaders prioritized open borders and brought the
00:33:48.580 third world in and then they added political correctness over integration and vetting uh
00:33:55.220 over the national interest
00:33:57.020 i'm telling you britain does not have a civil war yet but you are at the you are at the bubba
00:34:04.200 effect in great britain now and if the elites keep denying reality and blaming the native
00:34:09.120 population instead of confronting failed policies they're lighting the fuse themselves
00:34:14.500 victims are being stabbed here in america nearly beheaded in the streets of uh great britain
00:34:24.240 Their own citizens.
00:34:26.040 Aren't these the people that our governments are sworn to protect?
00:34:31.960 You're not very kind.
00:34:33.300 This isn't about kindness.
00:34:35.440 This is suicide.
00:34:37.040 Suicide by compassion without any wisdom at all.
00:34:40.760 What do you say we plant the flag deep in the heart of truth?
00:34:45.660 Borders exist for a reason.
00:34:49.200 Assimilation isn't optional.
00:34:51.040 Here in America, self-control and moral clarity are not relics, they're survival.
00:35:03.740 I mean, look how far we have fallen.
00:35:06.380 Look at what our society has become over the last 20 years.
00:35:10.320 We weren't like this before.
00:35:11.860 We were not like this.
00:35:13.500 What has changed?
00:35:14.860 Oh, I don't know.
00:35:16.360 The progressive nonsense.
00:35:18.140 And I think our children deserve a better future than knife fights.
00:35:25.780 Our neighborhoods deserve better than imported tribal violence.
00:35:33.880 Here's the good news.
00:35:35.900 All of these things, they provide an opportunity for us to wake up.
00:35:40.320 when people see that guy on the street in Belfast
00:35:45.320 where the guy is hacking at his neck.
00:35:49.120 It provides a chance for everyone to wake up.
00:35:51.980 Now, I think the people are awakened.
00:35:55.040 People in Great Britain,
00:35:56.000 they do not have a Martin Luther King example.
00:35:58.420 They don't.
00:35:59.380 Their example is Gandhi,
00:36:00.780 but Gandhi used it against the English,
00:36:03.080 so they're not really happy with Gandhi.
00:36:05.560 They don't have that example.
00:36:08.060 They only have Christ,
00:36:09.000 and Christ is almost dead in Great Britain.
00:36:12.780 There is no real church in Great Britain.
00:36:15.580 It's starting to revive a little bit,
00:36:18.300 but it's on the ropes.
00:36:21.620 These people are not going to go for a Martin Luther King.
00:36:24.740 There is no understanding of that over there.
00:36:29.500 If we can reject the division,
00:36:33.160 we can restore real accountability,
00:36:35.900 we can secure our homes,
00:36:37.220 and remember who we are under God,
00:36:40.860 then perhaps these tragedies are not going to be in vain
00:36:44.320 because we can still choose life.
00:36:46.580 We can still choose order.
00:36:47.900 We can still choose courage over chaos.
00:36:51.220 You know, they're calling the one guy
00:36:52.480 who stopped the beheading a hero.
00:36:57.680 And I find that kind of sad.
00:37:00.900 It's true, but there were a lot of people
00:37:02.840 standing around just taping it with their phone.
00:37:06.000 What do you say?
00:37:06.880 you put the phone down now i i understand if it's one person i get it but if there's lots of people
00:37:12.640 standing around why don't you does does no one say hey guys let's stop videotaping or you you
00:37:20.380 videotape so we have it on record and the rest of us let's go stop that guy from being beheaded
00:37:25.920 personal responsibility in all things
00:37:30.700 all we have to do is choose wisely we haven't been doing that lately but i think that time
00:37:36.460 is coming. Quickly. The hour is late, America. Choose wisely. Back in a minute. God is calling
00:37:44.860 you to something bigger than you are maybe prepared for. You'll see it throughout the Bible.
00:37:50.300 Moses didn't think he was the right man. Slow of speech. Gideon didn't think he was. Jeremiah
00:37:54.900 didn't think he was the right man. And again, again, God chooses ordinary people and asks them
00:38:00.020 to do extraordinary things. And usually they're very flawed people. They got a problem, okay?
00:38:06.460 The president and global CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Yale Eckstein, spoke at Turning Point, at the USA Turning Point Women's Leadership Summit.
00:38:21.020 She described stepping into the leadership role of 34 years after the loss of her father.
00:38:27.760 She was remembering, feeling that you've got the wrong person.
00:38:32.200 I've said that so many times.
00:38:33.580 You've got the wrong person, God.
00:38:35.540 God has always called the ordinary, uncertain people to do his work.
00:38:40.060 And I'm grateful that she answered that call
00:38:42.700 because I've seen the work of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
00:38:46.500 and it is just people, they're not getting into politics.
00:38:48.960 I don't care about the politics.
00:38:51.120 I don't care if you like Benjamin Netanyahu or not.
00:38:54.100 The Jewish people have a right to not be hunted.
00:38:59.740 As America celebrates their 250th anniversary,
00:39:02.380 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship between the United States and Israel.

00:39:14.320 Let me tell you something.
00:39:15.000 If you're afraid to wear the flag pin with Israel and America,
00:39:19.140 that should be a sign to you on how far we have fallen,
00:39:23.420 that you would be afraid to wear it.
00:39:28.300 What comes next if we don't stand up?
00:39:31.340 flagpin ifcj.org flagpin ifcj.org glenn beck is back after this
00:39:41.300 it feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days i mean
00:39:57.560 you probably heard about all that by now there's a lot of commercials pretty much running around
00:40:01.140 the clock. These results can be dramatic, but for a lot of people, you know, giving themselves a shot
00:40:06.380 every week is suboptimal, you know, along with the potential side effects. It's not something
00:40:11.140 that's really appealing to a lot of people. It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose weight,
00:40:15.980 but, you know, do you really want to go that far? Do you really want to use that? Do you want to
00:40:20.700 stick a needle in yourself to make that happen? Some people love that. Some people are real
00:40:24.940 needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say. So the real question comes to you when you say like,
00:40:30.820 if I want to keep losing weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight
00:40:35.440 loss, would I take a different approach? And that's where Lean comes in. Lean is a weight loss
00:40:39.860 supplement developed by doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition for people who feel stuck, especially

00:41:49.540 and take my kids to Washington, D.C., and I decided, no, I'm not going to take a vacation
00:41:55.960 because the word got out now i'm giving a speech someplace every day uh during the week of fourth
00:42:01.660 of july in washington and i'm i'm just really excited uh to be there to celebrate america's
00:42:07.720 250th birthday um you know what i was thinking you know how we always we we look at our dates
00:42:15.540 differently than they do in england and the rest of the world you know europe it's always they do
00:42:21.300 day month year we do month day year so my birthday february 10th 1964 you know christmas is december
00:42:29.460 25th over there it would be 25th of december um that's the way they do it and we do we do
00:42:36.360 the opposite of them on every single date except one
00:42:40.540 we are month day year except for fourth of july 1776 and i i wonder was that just we was never
00:42:56.780 like no no leave that one day month year leave that one alone we want them to relate to that
00:43:03.060 we don't want them to think first of oh you know these crazy americans they always have a different

00:45:39.480 hello america i want to talk to you a little bit more about what's happening in the world but
00:45:49.160 specifically i want to jump off the uh carmelo anthony story and the the stabbing of austin
00:45:57.820 Metcalf and I want to talk to you about our kids because something is happening in our country to
00:46:04.620 our kids and we all can put our finger near it but if we don't solve this problem quickly we're
00:46:14.240 not going to have anything left to be able to pass to our children and our children won't even
00:46:19.100 understand it when we do. So I'm going to get into that here in a second. First let me talk to you
00:46:22.760 about Z Factor. Your car needs maintenance, your air conditioner needs maintenance, your computer
00:46:27.280 needs maintenance. Every complex machine on Earth eventually needs to be taken offline so somebody
00:46:32.820 can fix it, clean, update, repair something. But human beings, we have the most complex system and
00:46:39.820 machine known in the universe. The human brain. Nah, four hours of sleep should be enough time
00:46:47.280 offline. No, it's really not. And we act surprised when things start getting weird. So I'm such a fan
00:46:52.740 of z-factor it's a sleep supplement from the makers of relief factor and it is designed
00:46:56.760 to help you fall asleep faster sleep more soundly and wake up refreshed because sleep is not a
00:47:02.000 luxury it's maintenance it's the time your body and brain use to do the work that you know they
00:47:07.720 can't do when you're running around during the day you wouldn't expect your car to run forever
00:47:11.700 without any maintenance you probably uh probably wouldn't be fair to expect that from your body
00:47:17.100 either. Give Z-Factor a try right now. Save 46% on your first order. It's $19.95. 30-day supply.
00:47:23.340 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF. 1-800-4-RELIEF. Or visit relieffactor.com. Better sleep, better days.
00:47:29.120 Z-Factor from Relief Factor. All right. So we heard about Carmelo and the stabbing.
00:47:36.940 We've seen our society, our classrooms, our kids just start unhinging and self-mutilating and suicide and all of these things.
00:47:56.380 What's happening to us?
00:48:01.120 If you're a parent or a grandparent, I want you to listen carefully here.
00:48:05.140 We are a people that have misplaced our own story.
00:48:08.280 We have lost the thread of who we are and how we got here.
00:48:13.740 Humans must have a story, okay?
00:48:16.960 And the story they're being fed to replace that is just of grievance and anger and revenge.
00:48:23.440 That's not healthy.
00:48:27.160 Do yourself a favor.
00:48:29.600 Ask somebody under 25.
00:48:31.860 heck ask them under 30 35 tell me the american story most people can't do it on the last national
00:48:41.320 history exam 13 of eighth eighth graders came out proficient 13 they're in school currently 13
00:48:50.000 four in 10 couldn't clear the bottom bar which was we're going to set a document out in front of you
00:48:56.660 tell us anything about it. They couldn't do it. And you can guess what those documents were,
00:49:02.140 right? The civic scores fell for the first time since they started keeping record in 1998.
00:49:08.400 We are raising a generation that cannot explain the country they're standing in.
00:49:13.180 And it's not just the story that is thinning out. It is everything that used to hold a person
00:49:20.300 in place. Stories, your family, holds you in place. The church holds you in place. A church
00:49:31.760 is used to anchor a town. Fewer than half of us now belong to a congregation. Gallup has its lowest
00:49:37.840 measure since they started asking this question in 1937. Then, friendships, they used to hold you
00:49:46.860 in place. In 1990, 3% of Americans said they had no close friend at all. 3%.
00:49:55.700 No close friend at all. That's now 12%. Since 1990, we didn't drift apart slowly.
00:50:07.380 We hollowed out in one generation. So of course, we're lonely. Surgeon General said
00:50:15.340 that it's an epidemic of loneliness he gave a body count he said isolation does to a person
00:50:22.420 to a human body roughly what smoking 15 cigarettes a day does loneliness
00:50:28.200 now it used to be that the loneliest people in america were the old people not now it's the
00:50:38.540 under 30s. The most wired, the most connected, the most in-touch generation that has ever drawn
00:50:46.240 breath is also the most alone human beings have ever produced. Hang on just a second. Try to hold
00:50:54.240 all of that in your head at once and then say, what do you think is happening to our kids?
00:50:58.860 no shared story emptied out churches emptied out clubs a friendship drought a loneliness the
00:51:08.520 doctors are calling a health emergency now picture being born into that you don't know
00:51:13.160 all the stuff that you've known in the past picture that country being handed to you one day
00:51:18.960 you don't even know where you are you have no map you have no name for who your people are
00:51:25.780 There's no seat saved at any table for you.
00:51:28.860 You just have a screen in your hand and a thousand strangers glad to tell you who you ought to be.
00:51:36.120 That's the ground our kids are standing on.
00:51:39.060 They didn't crack it.
00:51:40.200 Don't blame them.
00:51:40.760 They didn't crack it.
00:51:41.320 They inherited this.
00:51:43.660 And it's exactly why, out of everything I could talk about, I want to talk about them.
00:51:50.900 Because we all know stuff, but we may forget from time to time.
00:51:55.120 Kids don't know who they are.
00:51:56.940 They don't.
00:51:58.080 We think they do, but try to remember all the things that you used to think about yourself.
00:52:02.700 They're not supposed to know who they are at 19.
00:52:05.520 They're not supposed to know who they are at 16.
00:52:08.060 Certainly not at 11, and that's how young this starts now.
00:52:11.500 11 is starting to be old.
00:52:14.960 Identity is not something kids have.
00:52:18.300 It's something that kids build piece by piece,
00:52:22.500 and they build it after whatever is reflected back at them.
00:52:27.920 Here's what's changed since we were growing up.
00:52:30.980 When you and I were building ourselves,
00:52:33.560 the mirrors were our friends.
00:52:35.880 Remember, what did your mom used to always say?
00:52:37.600 Show me your friends, I'll show you your future.
00:52:39.420 It was our friends, it was our family,
00:52:41.380 it was a coach, it was a teacher, it was a pastor.
00:52:44.920 Today, your daughter is 12 years old
00:52:47.500 and she's holding a mirror in her hand
00:52:50.180 eight or nine hours every day. More waking hours than she spends in any classroom or doing anything
00:52:57.640 else. She's looking at that mirror. It's actually worse than a mirror. The phone, the feed, the
00:53:03.560 algorithm, the shows she watches, the influencers she follows, what she hears at school. This mirror
00:53:10.640 is actually talking back to her, whispering the same question. This is who you are, right? This
00:53:17.640 is who you are this is who you are right now some of that noise is just noise companies trying to
00:53:24.000 sell our things fine we grew up with that as well but some of the voices reaching your kids
00:53:29.160 they are not random
00:53:31.500 okay you've got people who know exactly what they're doing
00:53:40.520 they have a vision for who your kid should become they're patient and they didn't ask
00:53:46.740 your permission. They don't care about you. I'm telling you, stop assuming that everything coming
00:53:52.360 through that screen in that classroom door is neutral. It isn't neutral at all. So picture it.
00:53:59.180 A kid, younger than you think, still under construction, swimming in a sea, an ocean
00:54:05.880 of a thousand voices. And then one of those voices steps forward and offers the whole package.
00:54:11.960 finished identity. Here's who you are. Here's your people. Here's your club. Here's what you
00:54:19.620 stand for. Do you understand now how that lands? Why that lands with kids? The kid doesn't feel
00:54:28.020 like they're joining something. They feel like they're finally becoming someone. That's the hook.
00:54:35.400 Oh, you're going to join the club because you're bi or you want to be trans. You're joining a club
00:54:41.720 and all your friends are there and you're accepted and you're cool and the hook is set into your kid
00:54:49.320 the deepest when your kid is lost when they're cut from the team when they're dumped when they're
00:54:54.260 left out of the group chat when you move to a new town a new schools nobody saved them a seat
00:55:00.080 you know how that feels even at your age when a kid feels invisible a ready-made identity stop
00:55:07.520 becomes attractive and becomes irresistible because they're looking for a shore.
00:55:15.580 And the people I want to warn you about, the determined ones, they know all of this.
00:55:20.440 They're not looking for your kid at their best.
00:55:22.860 They're looking for your kid at his loneliness, the loneliest.
00:55:27.260 Don't kid yourself that the one, my kids, my kids are fine.
00:55:31.360 Really?
00:55:31.880 Because a lot of them are hurting.
00:55:33.160 You just can't see it.
00:55:34.180 You don't remember.
00:55:34.960 and here's the other half of this trap you've seen this movie over and over again okay our
00:55:43.220 kids have never seen this movie before we've watched movements rise and fall our whole lives
00:55:47.680 we we know things are going to constantly change we know the smell of it they don't they can't spot
00:55:53.540 the bad movie yet the group that says sure you belong over here but hand your doubt over at the
00:56:01.020 door. Stop questioning. Stop pushing back. That one thing, that one group that promises to
00:56:08.700 transform your kid, and all they have to do is just obey. Just obey. Just fit in. That's the
00:56:17.580 bind. The pull is stronger on the young. The danger is harder for them to see. And the recruiters now
00:56:24.980 have to not go out and search everywhere. They just find the recruit right there. It's in their
00:56:34.380 pocket. Your gut might say, make a list. Good groups are here. Bad groups are here. Block this
00:56:44.660 app. Ban that channel. Switch schools. Look, you use your judgment. You're the parent. You know
00:56:49.840 your kids, but you're not going to be able to list your way out of this. Some of these movements are
00:56:55.420 harmless. Some are propaganda. Some are extraordinarily dangerous. Your kid's vulnerability
00:57:02.640 is identical for all of those categories because the weakness was never in the movement.
00:57:10.380 The weakness is in the normal, unfinished kid and the normal, lonely moment that is now not normal
00:57:18.260 or it's becoming normal at epidemic proportions.
00:57:23.240 And it goes wherever they go.
00:57:24.940 You can't pre-screen the whole world.
00:57:29.580 So I got a couple of ideas
00:57:30.980 and I want you to actually write this down.
00:57:32.660 If you're following me on this,
00:57:34.540 write these two things down.
00:57:36.020 First one, give them a place where they belong.
00:57:40.500 And more importantly, where they belong,
00:57:42.300 where they can sit and disagree and it's allowed.
00:57:47.460 Okay?
00:57:48.260 Your dinner table, your church is even better.
00:57:51.840 You disagree.
00:57:52.660 I don't know.
00:57:53.240 I have a question about this.
00:57:54.420 Good question, question, question.
00:57:56.700 Question with boldness, even the very existence of God forever.
00:57:59.420 Be a God, he'd must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.
00:58:03.800 Yes, question.
00:58:05.880 Because if the only place you're offering your kid belonging is a place that demands their silence,
00:58:11.900 they will pay that price.
00:58:14.680 And when they're hurting, when they've gone quiet and pulled away, that's not a moment to give them space.
00:58:24.000 That's the moment to move towards them because somebody's going to fill that void in your kid.
00:58:29.560 And the only question on the table is who?
00:58:33.240 Second thing, tell them about the trap.
00:58:35.600 Tell them.
00:58:36.460 Share this monologue.
00:58:37.800 Talk to them like they're adults because they understand a lot more.
00:58:40.840 Speak in plain English.
00:58:41.960 if anyone ever tells you that you have to stop doubting in order to belong run run from them
00:58:50.920 if they promise that they will transform you and all that you have to do for payment is be compliant
00:58:57.940 that's the tell tell them this now before they need it because they will need it if they haven't
00:59:06.080 already. And when they do, you need them to be able to recognize it on sight. You cannot bubble
00:59:13.000 wrap your kids. You can't vet every voice that reaches them. That world is long gone. But you
00:59:20.400 can make sure that when they walk out your door, their eyes are wide open and they have a home
00:59:26.220 worth coming back to. Listen to your kids. Encourage them to question. Even you. Oh,
00:59:36.080 it's going to be so hard. I hated the teenage kids. I hated the teenage years with my kids.
00:59:42.260 I hated it. But they are, you know, God is just a genius. Do you know why our kids get so nasty
00:59:51.360 when they're teenagers because god needs them to find out who they are and they can't do it
00:59:59.600 if they're living with you and they're 20 so there's this natural thing that says i just
01:00:06.780 you don't know anything you're stupid that's good that's good you want them to have that
01:00:14.260 because that means they're questioning everything
01:00:18.040 and they want to find who they are.
01:00:21.860 You have to make that safe for them
01:00:25.180 because if you are fighting that all the time,
01:00:29.440 it will only get worse
01:00:30.380 and then they won't listen to you anymore.
01:00:33.420 They barely listen.
01:00:34.220 If you're like my kids,
01:00:35.660 they barely listen to you anyway.
01:00:37.600 But you've got to make sure
01:00:40.360 that you are a place where they can tell you anything
01:00:44.120 and believe me my my son and my daughter have told me things that i'm like oh my gosh don't react
01:00:53.920 don't react you're right you ever had a kid tell you anything like that where you're like oh oh
01:00:58.440 okay yeah that's that's no big deal and inside you're like ah don't react that way okay all right
01:01:06.320 i understand that i need some time can i think on that let's talk about that some more that's
01:01:10.000 really interesting. I'm glad you told me that. No, I'm not inside. No, I'm not. I didn't want
01:01:15.020 to know that. I didn't want to know that. Yes, you do, because they are so lonely.
01:01:21.480 They are looking on who they are. If you can't help them find safe places to help, my father
01:01:29.000 said to me when I was young, I've said this a million times, son, the two most powerful words
01:01:34.240 in any language is I am, and it's usually followed by a blank. I am blank. I am happy.
01:01:42.380 I am sad. I am a monster. I am worthless. I am great. Whatever it is, I am is usually followed
01:01:50.200 with a blank. And if you don't fill that in, I'll never forget the way he said it. He leaned into me
01:01:55.920 and he said, believe me, there are all kinds of people that are just waiting to fill it in for you.
01:02:04.240 You make the choice on what you fill that blank with and be very careful because that's who you
01:02:12.340 will be. Share that with your kids. More in just a second.
01:02:19.980 You know, I love working with companies who not only provide the highest level of service,
01:02:23.760 but also are on the same page as I am on moral issues. I mean, you don't have to agree on
01:02:27.580 everything, but moral issues, I don't know. And it's increasingly rare, but one of my favorite
01:02:31.880 companies is Patriot Mobile because we agree on big issues. Their goal isn't just to give you a
01:02:38.160 cheaper, better experience with a cell phone company, which they do every day, but they also
01:02:43.140 stand with you in defense of our American liberties and values. They are America's, I believe, the
01:02:48.860 world's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They don't send your hard-earned money
01:02:54.100 to aid in the destruction of America or to abort babies. They work for conservative causes, not
01:02:59.920 against them, and I mean the big ones, all of the Bill of Rights, that kind of stuff, okay?
01:03:05.700 All the while, they're giving you the same great nationwide service, and you're supporting a
01:03:12.120 company that loves America and shares your values and supports the police and first responders as
01:03:16.320 well. Switching is incredibly easy, and it's kind of rewarding. It's good to know. I'm getting great
01:03:23.000 mobile service. I'm paying less. I'm getting everything that I need, and I'm helped build
01:03:28.880 the country, not destroy the country. Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck. Make the switch

01:04:05.100 like never before with music stories lesson plans and more find it at torch 250.com
01:04:12.660 you know i i told you at the beginning of this uh hour i said you know we don't know we don't
01:04:18.140 have a story anymore. We don't know our story without a story. That is what human beings
01:04:23.000 search for. That's how we understand the world through stories. And it gives us meaning,
01:04:29.080 gives our life meaning and purpose. And that's, they're looking to make a difference.
01:04:33.420 They want to join something that is good, that will make the world a better place.
01:04:39.080 I so urge you to listen either on the podcast, you can available anywhere, or you can get it
01:04:45.240 commercial free and they're way ahead. We have episode one through 15, uh, episode 11 through
01:04:50.040 15, uh, drop this morning, uh, for torch insiders. And it is the American story. It's based on the
01:04:57.800 book written by David Barton. If you haven't gotten the book, you should, uh, David Barton,
01:05:01.540 the American story. Um, and Nathan Nipper, one of my best historians and writers on the staff,
01:05:09.800 He wrote this up.
01:05:11.100 It takes us literally, I mean, we've spent thousands of hours on those 15 episodes.
01:05:18.080 And we want you to hear it.
01:05:20.280 Because if I heard, if I would have heard history like that when I was young, I would have loved history.
01:05:26.420 And if you're listening to it, especially if you're taking a vacation or something, you're driving across the country or you're just in the car with them every day.
01:05:34.060 Let me give you an example.
01:05:35.260 My kids hated history when they were young.
01:05:38.180 I'd pick them up from school every day
01:05:39.580 and I would tell them history.
01:05:40.840 We had a 15 minute drive
01:05:41.980 and I would say,
01:05:43.040 let me tell you about Columbus
01:05:43.860 and I would start on a Columbus story
01:05:45.860 and it might last a week or so
01:05:47.160 in 15 minute chunks.
01:05:48.900 Both my kids,
01:05:50.060 my older kids that experienced that,
01:05:52.800 they both majored in history in college.
01:05:55.760 They hated history.
01:05:57.420 It's the way the story is told.

01:06:16.680 It's a whole summer of education.
01:06:18.560 You won't believe how much is there for you, your family, and your kids.
01:06:22.620 Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
01:06:27.300 Running a business is, I don't know, a little like juggling,
01:06:32.260 but juggling chainsaws on a trampoline during an earthquake on a good day.
01:06:37.840 Everything stays up in the air.
01:06:39.340 On a bad one, somebody might get hurt.
01:06:41.620 It might be you.
01:06:42.500 A claim doesn't get filed.
01:06:44.040 A problem you never saw coming suddenly demands your full attention,
01:06:47.320 and you have no idea if your coverage is complete.
01:06:50.540 That's why it's a good idea to have the insurance part figured out before you need it,
01:06:54.580 which is why I like SuperSure.
01:06:56.340 They make it easy to get coverage that your business needs
01:06:59.280 without making you feel like you need a law degree.
01:07:01.900 Look, I run a small business.
01:07:03.240 I am so busy all the time.
01:07:04.940 I don't have time to wait on the phone for the insurance agency to answer a question.
01:07:11.320 Please hold.
01:07:12.260 I've been on hold for 45 minutes.
01:07:14.300 Give me the answer.
01:07:15.960 You don't have time for that.
01:07:17.520 SuperSure takes care of all of that.
01:07:19.680 I want you to go to supersure.com slash Beck.

01:07:43.800 i want to talk to you i want to make sure that i get uh i want to sure that i get
01:08:05.060 this absolutely right because i want to talk to you about sorry just finishing up some research
01:08:10.340 But I want to make sure I get this absolutely right because what's happening in California is dangerous and there is a – if you can be reasonable and you can listen without the lens of your tribe, there's a way to an answer here.
01:08:34.860 but nobody seems especially on the left nobody seems to want to actually fix the problem because
01:08:42.300 the problem even if it is just perception that is as bad as if it is happening okay and so what do
01:08:50.240 they want to do they want to shut you up on saying hey this is well that's not going to work that is
01:08:55.020 not going to work that makes things worse so Gavin Newsom stood at a podium last month and he signed
01:09:00.760 a bill that said fines and jail time three years if you are interfering with the election now listen
01:09:09.520 i'll be more fair to him than he would ever be with me um this particular uh penalty is aimed
01:09:16.940 at people who physically walk off with boxes of ballots listen to the language around it
01:09:22.400 governor wrote a letter telling his officials to count fast so the election lies don't take whole
01:09:27.640 so stop and think about that for a second wait a minute chief executive of the largest state in
01:09:33.640 the union has appointed himself the man who decides which doubts are lies and in the same
01:09:40.600 season his allies pass a provision that tells election observers they may no longer challenge
01:09:47.140 the signatures on the ballot they're watching get counted so they didn't criminalize your doubt
01:09:54.280 they did something quieter. They turned down the lights in the room where the counting happens,
01:09:59.200 and you're told it's a conspiracy theory to ask, why did it get dark? So there's two things going
01:10:05.740 on here, and possibly really bad fraud, but there's something that you have to know about this.
01:10:14.620 This is, to me, this is the most important thing about the ballots.
01:10:19.000 the government cannot ever ever no matter who's in charge donald trump uh gavin newsom satan
01:10:29.460 god whatever the government can never be the arbiter of truth ever
01:10:36.600 especially when the question on the table is about the government itself
01:10:42.160 you cannot let the accused run the evidence room what's happening you're accusing california
01:10:50.800 of having fraud and what do they do they say no we're in charge right you're the one that
01:10:58.740 everybody's saying is causing the fraud and they're saying no you can't question because
01:11:03.100 there's no fraud that doesn't help anything this is not a conservative idea or liberal idea
01:11:07.760 it's just how you keep a free people free you cannot have the accused or the government in
01:11:14.620 charge and the arbiter of the truth we tried this i've mentioned this a couple of times in the last
01:11:20.340 couple of weeks 1798 we did it right at the start the ink on the constitution was just barely even
01:11:24.940 dry congress passed the sedition act made it a federal crime to publish false and scandalous
01:11:31.820 and malicious writing about the government okay well that sounds reasonable you don't want false
01:11:37.360 things out there well who's who's for false information right nobody but who decides what's
01:11:45.640 false the people who decided turned out to be the politicians being criticized and they jailed
01:11:52.920 newspaper editors they jailed sitting congressman his name was matthew lyon for a crime of writing
01:11:58.400 that the president had an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp i think i've seen that before
01:12:05.880 Thomas Jefferson comes into office and he looks at what they've built and he pardoned everybody
01:12:11.460 that they had sent to jail he understood a government cannot define the lie if you're the
01:12:19.000 one being accused of being the liar do you know this do you know the famous line you can't
01:12:25.240 shout fire in a crowded theater okay every time somebody says oh there's not freedom of speech
01:12:31.480 Do you know how that came to be?
01:12:35.080 Do you know why you quote that?
01:12:37.840 1919.
01:12:39.520 What a surprise, Woodrow Wilson.
01:12:41.480 Supreme Court case called Schneck.
01:12:45.300 You know who Schneck was?
01:12:47.860 Schneck was a guy who was handing out pamphlets telling other men that they had a right to oppose being drafted in World War I.
01:12:55.760 He did it in a movie theater.
01:12:57.040 every the line that every single person uses to limit speech was written to jail a guy for
01:13:05.020 protesting his government what that's the company you keep when you start drawing these lines
01:13:13.380 took 50 years to fix it 1969 brandenburg versus ohio court finally drew the line where it belongs
01:13:20.580 and drew it razor thin the case was all about a guy who said about he was talking about the draft
01:13:26.440 Same problem.
01:13:27.420 He's talking about the draft, and he said, you give me a gun,
01:13:29.620 and I'll tell you the first person I'll shoot is the president, okay?
01:13:33.000 That went to court.
01:13:34.500 He was arrested, blah, blah, blah, for making threats.
01:13:37.940 Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
01:13:40.200 He didn't go to jail.
01:13:41.360 It went all the way to the Supreme Court.
01:13:42.640 They said, unless this actually is inciting imminent lawless action
01:13:50.400 or is very likely to produce imminent lawless action,
01:13:56.560 it's free speech.
01:13:59.500 Okay, not that speech isn't wrong,
01:14:03.060 not that speech isn't offensive,
01:14:05.280 not speech that undermines trust,
01:14:08.820 speech that essentially lights the match
01:14:12.660 to the gasoline, imminent.
01:14:16.140 That's it.
01:14:17.020 That's the whole exception.
01:14:17.960 and that's as narrow as it should be.
01:14:22.040 Now, look at the First Amendment.
01:14:23.620 We're doing this song, Five in the First.
01:14:25.860 Listen to how this works.
01:14:26.780 If you know this,
01:14:27.860 you can answer these questions about speech.
01:14:30.000 That's why we're doing the summer of education,
01:14:32.280 the summer of 250 at torch250.com.
01:14:35.580 Look at the First Amendment.
01:14:36.840 Count the five freedoms.
01:14:38.560 It's 45 words.
01:14:40.100 There's five freedoms.
01:14:41.580 Religion, speech, press, assembly, petition.
01:14:44.960 When you question an election,
01:14:46.860 you're not exercising free speech you're exercising four of the freedoms that are guaranteed
01:14:55.000 the right to speak the right to print it or have the press report on it the right for people to
01:15:02.780 assemble and then comes the one that we always forget the right to petition the government for
01:15:07.620 redress of grievances we have a right in the first amendment that says i can go to the government
01:15:13.520 say, I don't believe you. I want to see this fixed. I want to see the reason. Show me the proof.
01:15:20.720 You have a right to do that. So four out of the five in the First Amendment exist for this exact
01:15:27.600 moment. A citizen who looks at the machinery of power and says, prove it to me. Only one of the
01:15:34.380 five in the First Amendment, the free exercise of religion, sits this one out. Four out of the five.
01:15:40.660 the founders didn't protect questioning the government as an afterthought they built four
01:15:47.960 separate doors into the first amendment okay so let me be really careful and very clear
01:15:55.140 because this is where you earn credibility being honest i am telling you right now i cannot
01:16:03.520 verify or deny that there is widespread fraud in california there is mounting evidence
01:16:10.560 and it looks like there is fraud enough to change the election, I don't know.
01:16:15.720 But neither does anyone yelling that there is or there isn't fraud.
01:16:21.860 I'm telling you, be the honest person in saying,
01:16:24.800 I don't know what the extent is, but it must be investigation.
01:16:31.540 It must be investigated.
01:16:33.380 We must have it investigated.
01:16:34.580 We have to know.
01:16:38.220 You don't want dimmer switches in jail time.
01:16:40.560 If there are real questions about signatures being gathered in places where vulnerable people can't consent, and, I mean, have you seen the videos?
01:16:50.400 For heaven's sake, investigate it in the open and let the chips fall where they may.
01:16:55.200 The remedy for a doubt has always been the same.
01:17:00.320 Count the ballots honestly in a room with very bright lights and both sides watching.
01:17:07.080 you answer a question with an answer you don't answer a question with a threat
01:17:14.880 because once you decide you can round people up for the wrong opinion or the wrong question
01:17:21.340 you'll never stop it's the same the machinery is the same every time and it doesn't care who's
01:17:27.380 running it this week we watched mobs decide guilt by accusation the me too we watched a whole country
01:17:35.280 told the questioning of official line on a vaccine
01:17:37.540 made you a danger to your neighbors.
01:17:39.440 Same engine, different paint.
01:17:42.280 And if the roles were reversed,
01:17:43.980 if their candidate was down
01:17:45.740 and their observers were shut out
01:17:47.700 and they saw what we see now
01:17:50.380 on the streets of Los Angeles,
01:17:52.080 the same people calling you a conspiracy theorist
01:17:54.800 would be in the streets.
01:17:57.260 And I, for one, I'm tired of all of it.
01:17:59.160 I don't want to yell at each other.
01:18:01.760 I just want to solve this problem.
01:18:04.940 I can't tell you that it's happening or it's not happening.
01:18:08.380 What do we do?
01:18:10.800 We make sure everything is counted.
01:18:14.160 So the next time somebody in power tells you
01:18:16.440 that a certain question is too dangerous to ask
01:18:19.040 on any side, about anything,
01:18:22.100 you've learned everything you need to know about that person.
01:18:26.660 Not about the question, about them.
01:18:30.480 The honest don't fear questions.
01:18:32.880 The honest don't fear the count.
01:18:35.620 They turn on the lights and they hand you the clipboard.
01:18:39.400 I mean, honestly, if this was all fair, what would you do?
01:18:42.040 What would you do in a reasonable situation?
01:18:44.080 You would say, well, come on in.
01:18:46.020 I'll show you exactly how we're doing it.
01:18:47.860 Turn on the lights.
01:18:48.460 Guys, guys, when you're done, send all your paperwork over here.
01:18:51.720 So, and you can talk to anybody in the room because we want it to be as fair as you do.
01:18:56.840 Anyone who'd rather take the clipboard away and dim the lights down in the room
01:19:01.200 is telling you exactly who they are.
01:19:03.860 And you know, our biggest problem with our society
01:19:06.400 is people tell us who they are all the time.
01:19:09.600 Graham Plattner comes to mind.
01:19:10.880 They tell you who they are.
01:19:13.640 Believe them.
01:19:15.520 Believe them.
01:19:16.240 You're a fool if you don't believe them.
01:19:22.480 All I want is a fair election.
01:19:24.520 I can handle losing to fair elections.
01:19:27.080 And I think that's the way most Americans feel.
01:19:29.080 But this has all been whipped up into a frenzy.
01:19:34.140 And I don't think anybody has the actual answer.
01:19:38.260 I think, I don't know, we owe it to the future and to our country and to our founders and all of the millions that have died to protect this country.
01:19:48.440 A look-see, an honest view into what is actually happening.
01:19:54.340 My guess is a lot of this stuff is happening.
01:19:57.000 Don't know if it's enough.
01:19:58.100 Seems like there could be.
01:19:59.100 But I don't know if it's enough to change the outcome of elections.
01:20:03.080 But it's happening.
01:20:04.440 And I think that they have changed the laws so much that some of the stuff they're doing that you and I think should be illegal is perfectly legal in California.
01:20:13.360 I think we should have a list of all of those things.
01:20:15.340 I think we should have an honest conversation about what's actually happening.
01:20:19.020 What's legal?
01:20:19.640 What's not?
01:20:20.220 What's different in California?
01:20:21.740 Why they do it?
01:20:22.580 and then an accounting of all the people that they have arrested
01:20:25.520 because they are arresting people.
01:20:27.400 Good.
01:20:28.000 I want to see it.
01:20:29.800 Have you dug all the way into that?
01:20:32.500 That's only fair and right if you actually believe in a stable country.
01:20:36.860 All right, let me tell you about rapid radios.
01:20:38.680 Every generation has a few things they take for granted.
01:20:41.060 My grandparents took for granted that if you wanted to talk to somebody,
01:20:44.440 you either called them or went to their house.
01:20:46.760 And we got cell phones.
01:20:48.140 And suddenly, you know, you could reach anybody anytime from anywhere.
01:20:51.700 And it felt like magic.
01:20:53.740 The problem with magic is after a while, you forget it's magic and you start assuming it'll always be there until the battery dies.
01:20:59.680 I mean, how many times have you been in an airplane and you can't get a signal or you can't watch something on your phone or your laptop and you're like, I'm up 25,000 feet or 30,000 feet in the air.
01:21:10.500 I'm traveling at 700 miles an hour and I can't watch this and stream it on Netflix.
01:21:14.900 Yeah.
01:21:15.860 Yeah.
01:21:17.080 Boy, are we spoiled.
01:21:18.740 This is why I like rapid radios.
01:21:20.340 There is no digging through apps, no did you get my text,
01:21:23.500 no wondering whether a message went through,
01:21:25.400 an instant communication with the people that you want to talk to.
01:21:29.080 The thing I love about them is they come ready right out of the box
01:21:31.880 because sometimes best technology isn't the most complicated.
01:21:35.080 It's the technology that lets you stop thinking about the technology
01:21:37.900 and just get the job done.
01:21:39.100 I just bought a new camera.
01:21:40.420 This damn camera didn't come with instructions.
01:21:43.520 It's like, what? Wait, what?
01:21:46.860 I've got to go online and try to figure out how to use this camera.
01:21:49.860 Wait, help me out with this.
01:21:51.700 I'm used to my phone.
01:21:52.680 I got that.
01:21:53.320 I've not used a camera like that in a long time.
01:21:56.300 You want something simple to use.
01:21:58.440 Right out of the box, it's rapidradios.com.
01:22:01.040 They ship fast from their headquarters in Michigan.
01:22:03.420 It's rapidradios.com.
01:22:04.880 Rapid Radios.
01:22:07.260 Communication redefined.
01:22:09.360 Your feed's full of noise.
01:22:11.680 Your town's full of folks who'd help you move a fridge.
01:22:14.880 Don't lose touch.
01:22:16.940 Glenn Beck will be back after this.
01:22:29.580 There are only so many dad gifts available in the world before everything gets just a little bit repetitive.
01:22:35.780 At a certain point, every father in America owns enough novelty grilling aprons,
01:22:40.140 socks with the tiny golf clubs on them, and the coffee mugs with those hilarious, sarcastic
01:22:45.980 slogans.
01:22:46.480 Those are all great, of course, but I would say food, better option, especially the food
01:22:52.160 is really, really good, and that brings me to Kexi.
01:22:56.040 Kexi has a special Father's Day cookie box available right now with six gourmet cookies
01:23:00.820 baked fresh and shipped everywhere nationwide, and these things look absolutely insane in
01:23:05.600 the best possible way.
01:23:06.660 They're my favorite cookies in the world.
01:23:07.940 You will love them.
01:23:08.580 One of their featured cookies is their peanut butter marshmallow flavor combines a warm
01:23:13.140 peanut butter, melted chocolate, and gooey marshmallow into something that honestly sounds
01:23:17.880 less like a cookie and more like a controlled substance.
01:23:20.580 They've also got a s'mores, a s'mores cookie.
01:23:23.460 This is incredible.
01:23:24.620 It's kind of tastes like an entire summer camping trip condensed into dessert form.
01:23:28.960 If you want to try other flavors, they've got so many great ones.
01:23:32.300 You can build your own box.
01:23:33.480 If you use the promo code stew, when you do that, you'll go to kexy.com, get 15% off
01:23:37.880 right now.
01:23:38.580 Just so you know, the code doesn't apply to a special Father's Day box.
01:23:43.300 That's a separate thing, but these are unlimited for the holiday.
01:23:46.220 You just got to make sure you order them by June 14th for Father's Day so you don't wait too long.

01:23:59.480 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
01:24:05.480 it takes you to winding streets
01:24:07.900 spontaneous detours
01:24:09.640 and the realisation that

01:24:15.520 and when the final shortcut taken

01:24:58.880 you have to build your life i was talking about i am blank you know i i i had to sit down and write
01:25:04.620 a mission statement for The Torch, and I want to share it with you because, I mean, it is really
01:25:09.760 almost my personal mission statement, too. We are dedicated to the light of truth that was revealed
01:25:15.080 by God, the moral law written on the hearts of men and affirmed in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
01:25:21.020 We seek to live and teach what is honest, virtuous, benevolent, and pure, defending truth with courage,
01:25:27.460 speaking it with integrity, and serving others in love. We honor what is noble and enduring.
01:25:33.760 We believe that character produces liberty, that virtue sustains civilization, and that faith gives life meaning and hope.
01:25:43.020 Whatever is righteous, whatever is excellent or praiseworthy, we will seek it, we will elevate it, and we will embody it so that the light of truth may endure in our time and for generations to come.
01:25:57.860 That is my personal mission and the mission of the torch.
01:26:01.040 And I would love to ask you to join us on that as we start in our summer of education, our summer of 250.

01:26:20.360 This guy is amazing.
01:26:23.240 This whole story on where he started.
01:26:25.680 And he is a great example of the ends justify the means.
01:26:30.460 No, they don't, John.
01:26:31.380 No, they don't.
01:26:32.540 And if you've not understood when I say that all the time and say, look, you become that which you despise, you need to know the John Brown story.

01:27:20.460 feel disconnected without ever announcing itself you're still in the room you're still nodding
01:27:25.440 along still showing up but you're working a lot harder just to keep up and sometimes you're
01:27:31.180 guessing more than you'd like to admit and you're just hoping don't ask me anything because i don't
01:27:35.520 know what we're talking about anymore uh what stops a lot of people from doing anything about
01:27:40.260 it is not denial it's the process it's the doctor appointments the multiple visits the adjustments
01:27:45.460 The price tag that makes you go, how is what?
01:27:49.420 So people wait and you shouldn't have to.

01:29:10.200 Glenn Beck is on.
01:29:12.440 Na-na-na-na-na.
01:29:13.900 Well, let me tell you a little bit about temptation, and it's not the temptation that, you know, is sin.
01:29:20.320 It is the temptation of winning what happened in Maine yesterday, and I'm going to give you three warnings because Plattner won, and he may win in the general.
01:29:35.380 I don't know, but the Democrats need it to be able to take over the Senate, and so I want to give you three warnings on this.
01:29:43.160 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
01:29:44.540 First, I have good news and bad news.
01:29:46.260 The good news is there are a ton of Medicare options available to you right now.
01:29:49.800 The bad news is there are a ton of Medicare options available to you right now.
01:29:53.620 And if you've ever tried to sort through them, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
01:29:56.700 It's a little like walking into a grocery store and trying to buy a jar of peanut butter
01:30:01.720 and discovering that there are 47 different kinds.
01:30:04.220 There's crunchy, there's smooth, there's natural, there's organic, honey roasted, low sodium.
01:30:08.360 At some point, you stop feeling empowered by all of these things.
01:30:11.280 You're like, can somebody just tell me which one's the best peanut butter?
01:30:14.220 That's how a lot of people feel about Medicare.
01:30:16.860 There are so many plans, so many different options, and so many variables that it feels easy to be overwhelmed.
01:30:22.460 And that's why Chapter is there.
01:30:24.540 Their advisors can look at a wide range of plans from different carriers and help you find the one that fits your specific situation.
01:30:31.220 Because the goal is to find the right one for you.
01:30:34.080 So give them a call.
01:30:34.920 Call is absolutely free.
01:30:36.220 Dial pound 250.
01:30:37.240 Say the keyword Chapter.
01:30:38.220 It's pound 250, keyword, chapter.
01:30:43.220 All right.
01:30:44.160 So last night in Maine, Democratic Party got the candidate.
01:30:49.600 It had been told it could not afford to lose.
01:30:54.140 Graham Plattner.
01:30:55.860 We know him as an oyster farmer.
01:30:58.800 He is a combat veteran.
01:31:01.000 He is an outsider.
01:31:02.400 And he beat the establishment's own recruit, Janet Mills.
01:31:06.780 She was the governor.
01:31:07.860 He beat her so thoroughly that she quit the race weeks before the votes even were counted.
01:31:13.060 She still got 20% of the vote.
01:31:15.260 That means 20% of Democrats voted for a hat that is not going to be the senator over this guy.
01:31:23.520 And now he is the nominee, the official nominee for the Democrats against Susan Collins.
01:31:28.160 Collins is the only Republican senator that is sitting in a state that did not vote for Donald Trump.
01:31:33.440 For Democrats trying to take back the Senate, Maine is the doorway.
01:31:36.680 and they think Plattner is the key.
01:31:40.520 Well, there's just one problem.
01:31:42.320 Actually, there are several problems,
01:31:43.820 but let's start with this one.
01:31:46.240 There is the tattoo that he covered up.
01:31:47.980 It is the Totenkopf.
01:31:50.320 That is the death head that the SS wore on their caps
01:31:54.300 and they had the same tattoos on their bodies.
01:31:57.460 That's how, I mean, if you were a member of the SS,
01:31:59.680 that's why you went to prison most likely afterwards
01:32:02.200 because you had the tattoo and everybody knows it.
01:32:06.680 And that is happening. They're turning a blind eye to that at a time when this just happened on the subway in New York.
01:32:16.860 Listen to what this woman said to another woman who she just, I guess, assumed was Jewish.
01:32:23.040 Listen to this.
01:32:23.980 The Jews, Jews are eating kids.
01:32:27.800 Did you guys smell the kids?
01:32:30.060 Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
01:32:31.800 Jews are eating kids. It's okay for her to eat children, but I can't choke her out. At least
01:32:50.200 there were some sane people on the subway with her, but we're entering insane times. You don't
01:32:57.100 mess with this. Then let's look at the old posts. There was a report in the New York Times. Remember
01:33:03.320 the New York Times, their paper, not ours, which, uh, three women who used to be in relationships
01:33:08.620 with him described the behavior they called toxic and unsettling. One of them said that he
01:33:14.540 physically restrained her in a room until she was in his word, calm. You're not leaving until you're
01:33:22.500 calm. Wow. And the party is lining up behind him. This is the me too party. So yes, he's done these
01:33:30.580 things, but I mean, he can win. He can win. The stakes are too high. I mean, yes, he's done these
01:33:37.320 things, but you know, this time it's different. No, no, no. Remember what I told you last week,
01:33:41.800 everything you say before the word, but is what your principles are, what you believe
01:33:47.560 everything after the but
01:33:49.620 is what you're willing to trade
01:33:51.740 those principles for.
01:33:54.340 Yes, he's got a Nazi swastika,
01:33:57.420 but
01:33:57.940 we have to win the Senate.
01:34:01.460 Okay, I want to give you three warnings.
01:34:02.940 One of them is political.
01:34:03.900 One is about a movement
01:34:05.560 and what it becomes when it makes this trade.
01:34:08.520 And the other is very, very old.
01:34:09.780 Older than our country.
01:34:10.700 Older than the idea of our country, even.
01:34:12.760 And I promise you, by the end,
01:34:14.520 you will see it's all the same warning bell.
01:34:17.320 Okay?
01:34:17.560 So let me start with the political one. And I want to aim right back at, you know, the Republicans first, because, you know, the only way you can gain trust with people is when you aim at your own side first.
01:34:29.340 So let me do that. Republicans, they have walked into the same fire and the same trap over and over and over again, and they get burned every single time.
01:34:38.480 Roy Moore in Alabama, 2017.
01:34:41.320 Party rallied around a man drowning in allegations because the seat mattered.
01:34:45.980 They lost the seat.
01:34:47.460 Reddest state in America went to Democrat.
01:34:51.040 Todd Akin in Missouri.
01:34:52.680 Richard Mordock in Indiana.
01:34:54.600 Two winnable seats in 2012 thrown into the ditch, not over policy, but over the candidate.
01:35:00.220 Christine O'Donnell in Delaware.
01:35:01.840 the insurgent who knocked off the electable guy in the primary and then just lost in the general
01:35:07.980 and just went away 2020 mitch mcconnell sorry 2022 mitch mcconnell stood up and said the quiet
01:35:14.800 part out loud he said it was candidate quality and i don't like mitch mcconnell but he's right
01:35:19.740 he admitted his own voters had handed the other team a majority by nominating people who couldn't
01:35:25.800 close the deal. There's a body of research behind this. A scandal stain or an extreme nominee
01:35:35.100 reliably runs behind in what a plain generic candidate of the same party would have gotten
01:35:41.680 in the same state. I don't know if it's going to happen in Maine, but the party always tells
01:35:46.100 itself the movement's energy. It's going to outrun the baggage, but the baggage wins the
01:35:50.960 race almost every time okay that's the political warning and it's bipartisan and it's earned the
01:35:58.060 seat you believe you cannot afford to lose is the exact seat you're most likely you're most tempted
01:36:04.060 to likely throw away because need makes you stupid and you'll talk yourself into a candidate
01:36:12.100 you would have laughed out of the room a year ago when the stakes felt smaller okay now here's the
01:36:18.820 second warning and this one's harder because it's not about strategy it's about the soul
01:36:23.880 for a decade one word has been used it's an it is an artillery shell that has been fired by the
01:36:32.900 american left over and over and over again and that shell is nazi it's been pointed at parents
01:36:41.920 at school boards it's been pointed at catholics anyone who wouldn't get in line for their political
01:36:48.320 their political viewpoint they've been called a nazi okay it's like this universal solvent
01:36:54.840 pour it on your opponent and you never have to argue with them again because you don't debate
01:36:59.480 nazis you destroy them right i have seen good people get that label welded to their foreheads
01:37:07.740 for the crime of just disagreeing and now the people who have used that as a shell
01:37:13.140 made that word its sword is wait what you're you you got a guy who has a death head tattoo
01:37:22.220 covered it up after he but he's he stands accused by women who knew him and called him frightened
01:37:28.880 frightening controlling and he's got a death head wait what and you're swallowing it what happened
01:37:35.340 to the artillery shell they're doing it because he's useful when you excuse your own people in
01:37:41.240 what you damned in everyone else, you've just confessed that your use of Nazi was never a
01:37:47.940 principle. You're not actually worried about Nazis. You use that as a weapon and that's it.
01:37:54.540 A principle is something you hold even when it costs you the election. A weapon is something
01:38:00.700 you drop the second it gets too heavy to swing. A movement that figures out it can do this,
01:38:08.620 That virtue is just a tool you pick up to hit the other guy and set down when it's inconvenient.
01:38:14.280 That movement loses its soul long before it ever loses the vote.
01:38:18.540 And I believe that has already happened.
01:38:20.620 That's why you have the problem with the Democratic Party.
01:38:22.960 They don't have anything they actually believe in except win.
01:38:28.160 Everything else is a tool.
01:38:30.720 The temptation to weaponize your own goodness, that's human, not partisan.
01:38:36.840 It's human.
01:38:37.600 And the day we start excusing our own side, that's the day to be afraid.
01:38:42.920 Because the day we've become the thing we've warned everyone about is the last day for us, too.
01:38:49.520 Democrats just went through this with Eric Swalwell.
01:38:52.920 I mean, despicable, horrible human being.
01:38:56.200 Discarded, disgraced.
01:38:57.300 The minute he stopped being useful, and they think they're going to do this with Plattner,
01:39:01.600 the minute he becomes no longer a use, they think he can get rid of.
01:39:06.380 But, you know, remember, with Nazis, they've tried that before and it didn't work.
01:39:10.480 Now, let me give you the third one.
01:39:12.140 The third warning, this one goes back 2,400 years to Athens.
01:39:17.740 I want to tell you about a guy you probably have never heard of.
01:39:20.460 Most gifted man of his generation in Athens.
01:39:24.060 His name was Al-Solbiades.
01:39:31.980 Solbiades, that's it.
01:39:33.060 Al-Solbiades.
01:39:34.320 Sorry, I don't speak Greek.
01:39:36.380 picture this guy. Charismatic. Think of him as the most charismatic you've ever met, and then
01:39:44.400 multiply it, because he's also beautiful. He's famously rich. He's brilliant. He's brave in
01:39:50.360 battle. He was a student of Socrates. The two of them had saved each other's lives on the battlefield,
01:39:56.660 and when he shows up at the Olympic Games, he didn't just enter one chariot team. He entered
01:40:03.060 seven and he took first place second place and fourth place in front of all of greece just to
01:40:11.380 make the point no one alive can touch me so athens sees this guy and they're like this guy is
01:40:17.900 fabulous he's great he's the future and they were right to be dazzled he really was that good
01:40:23.460 but that's also what made him so dangerous because a mediocre man you can dismiss a brilliant one
01:40:31.600 you convince yourself you have to have them.
01:40:35.520 So at the moment, people decide it needs a man.
01:40:39.320 It loses the one thing it has to keep,
01:40:41.700 and that is the ability to judge him and dismiss him.
01:40:45.200 So this guy goes in, and he is talking to Athens,
01:40:50.400 and he talks them into a great gamble of war,
01:40:53.800 the Sicilian Expedition.
01:40:55.660 And you all know you never take on the Sicilians.
01:40:59.140 It's an enormous fleet.
01:41:01.020 And he sends it across the sea to conquer Syracuse.
01:41:05.940 The cautious men in Athens said, don't do it.
01:41:09.280 But he is who he is.
01:41:13.020 And he wins the argument.
01:41:14.620 But on the eve of the fleet's departure, Athens wakes up and they find across the whole city in the dark,
01:41:21.700 somebody had gone around smashing all the sacred statues, the urms, whatever they are.
01:41:27.620 And they stood at every door.
01:41:29.140 And somebody went and did that.
01:41:30.380 The city was horrified.
01:41:34.720 Suspicion fell on this guy and his fast crowd, and they knew it was him.
01:41:40.840 His enemies were clever, but that didn't stop him from sailing.
01:41:46.080 They just said, let him go.
01:41:48.020 So they let him go and then recalled him to stand trial, knowing that they had him.
01:41:55.120 Here's where you learn who he really was.
01:41:57.400 Rather than come home and face Athens, he defects, and he defects to Sparta.
01:42:04.640 That's the enemy of Athens, and he didn't just sit there.
01:42:08.920 He handed Sparta the playbook to destroy his own city.
01:42:13.060 He's not going to go back.
01:42:15.960 Fortify this position in our territory, he says.
01:42:19.080 Send aid to Syracuse.
01:42:21.060 Both things happen.
01:42:21.960 The great Sicilian expedition, his idea, ended in total annihilation.
01:42:28.360 The Athenian army was destroyed.
01:42:30.920 All of its generals executed.
01:42:32.880 A generation of young men from Athens gone.
01:42:37.260 The man that Athens had needed so badly authored their own death.
01:42:44.440 Now, you'd think that would be the end of it, but it wasn't.
01:42:47.300 Because somebody still found him useful.
01:42:49.860 they still found him useful he wears out his welcome in sparta because that's what these guys
01:42:58.040 do he was reportedly i guess seducing the spartan king's wife and then he fled to persia and then
01:43:04.380 astonishingly athens takes him back the fleet recalls him he won them some victories he sails
01:43:12.780 home in 407 and he's a hero didn't you just turn and yeah then the first time for the first time
01:43:23.880 things go wrong on his watch and they turned on him again and he went into exile again and he died
01:43:30.200 in a foreign land with his house in flames all around him murdered some say at the request of
01:43:35.980 the very people he'd served.
01:43:39.360 Why am I telling you this story that happened in 407?
01:43:43.260 Because the warning that history is handing the Democratic Party this week, it's handing
01:43:50.280 this lesson and warning to all of us, because none of us is too good to need the warning
01:43:58.120 or to not need the warning.
01:44:00.880 Athens did not fall because it lacked talent.
01:44:03.920 It fell because it could not stop reaching for the talented man that they had every reason not to trust, but they had to win.
01:44:16.020 They needed him so much to win.
01:44:20.340 They never trusted him, never enough to follow him safely, and so he did the worst possible thing.
01:44:28.280 it used him again and again and then the using is what got them all killed so when a party stands
01:44:36.920 out front of a flawed but dazzling candidate whispering to itself he's the only one that can
01:44:42.860 win stakes are so high this time it's different understand this has happened over and over and
01:44:49.040 over again in history this is not a moment of strength this is the precise sound a civilization
01:44:55.820 makes right before it decides that the man it can't afford to trust is the man it can't afford
01:45:03.060 to lose. The statues came down the night in Athens, but they let him go anyway because they
01:45:10.640 needed him to win. Listen to me carefully. Watch what gets covered up in the night and watch who
01:45:22.080 sales him anyway. They are destructive. All right, back in a minute. Let me tell you about
01:45:29.940 LifeLock. If you wanted to steal somebody's identity 20 years ago, you had to put in some
01:45:34.940 effort. You apparently would just wait sooner or later. Some company you've done business with
01:45:39.700 gets hacked and suddenly your personal information is completely exposed. Case in point, Carnival
01:45:44.280 Corporation, world's largest cruise company, they just confirmed a data breach affecting nearly
01:45:49.340 six million people. And hackers got in, they sold the names, the addresses, the email addresses,
01:45:54.860 phone numbers, dates of birth, even the driver's license and passport numbers.
01:45:58.920 That's a real problem. Now, you can be incredibly careful and you still end up exposed because
01:46:04.820 somebody else got hacked. That's why I recommend LifeLock. LifeLock monitors hundreds of millions
01:46:10.260 of data points every second for identity threats, and they'll alert you if something suspicious is
01:46:15.720 detected. And if you do become a victim of identity theft, you'll get your own restoration
01:46:21.460 specialist to help fix the problem. Guaranteed or your money back. So join now. Save up to 30%

01:49:24.960 That kind of vengeance does not ever turn out well.
01:49:29.620 Look at how stable Haiti is.
01:49:31.240 Not.

01:50:22.080 would ever be able to write again i couldn't paint i couldn't use my hands i mean it was horrible
01:50:26.820 And then my wife forced me to start taking Relief Factor.
01:50:29.900 I didn't think it was going to work for me.
01:50:32.180 And it did, much to my shock.
01:50:35.060 After three weeks, I noticed that it was starting to lessen.
01:50:38.020 And I thought, oh, well, that's just me.
01:50:39.760 And I stopped taking it.
01:50:40.620 And the pain came rushing back.
01:50:41.920 And now it has broken the back of the pain.

01:51:24.020 i want to talk to you about three things here the california vote uh also the um uh the
01:51:39.020 attempted beheading in belfast and what that means to us uh but i want to start with the
01:51:44.160 reflecting pool i am so sick and tired of hearing people say this is the worst there you know there's
01:51:51.040 only two opinions here that i keep seeing with mainstream media and that is what donald trump
01:51:58.780 has done to the reflecting pool is the worst well first of all you've had two presidents spend
01:52:03.940 millions of dollars trying to fix that damn thing and it keeps leaking and so they couldn't fix it
01:52:08.960 why because they don't know what the hell they're doing they don't know their ass from their elbow
01:52:12.380 when it comes to fixing things when it comes to construction products uh projects donald trump
01:52:18.640 knows exactly what he's doing that's why the the white house uh ballroom it's got to be built by
01:52:24.540 him it has to be built by him he knows what he's doing stop with this nonsense all right the
01:52:32.520 reflecting pool it's either uh it's the ugliest thing i've ever seen or the other headline is
01:52:40.740 10 million dollars and it looks the same well which one is it which one is it the trump
01:52:48.080 derangement syndrome is so crazy first of all he fixed it it wasn't about making it look nicer
01:52:54.000 he fixed it let's see if it lasts because the last two presidents that tried to fix it it didn't last
01:53:00.040 let's see if it lasts i'll bet you it lasts okay and this goes to what he's done to washington
01:53:06.660 and cleaning up and now he's going in to what is it penn station and saying that he wants to clean
01:53:12.300 up i think it's penn station in washington dc and he's just released plans on what he's doing
01:53:18.280 he is beautifying uh washington dc they have gone from these fountains were awful awful graffiti and
01:53:27.780 black and horrible and he's cleaned them up they look brand new i mean washington dc is going to
01:53:33.820 look nice for the 250th. Um, if you're planning on going to the 250, there's a lot of stuff going
01:53:39.580 on in Washington, DC. I I'm going with my family. I think it's going to be cool, but, um, all right.
01:53:44.540 So stop with just stop with the Trump derangement syndrome. Okay. When you can't say, no, that looks
01:53:50.040 good. Or I don't like the way it looks, but at least it's fixed. You have no credibility whatsoever,
01:53:55.160 none whatsoever um now let me go to california votes the california votes um
01:54:02.520 jason has a theory that this is the rosetta stone and i hope you're right
01:54:10.520 um but let me add on top of that i'm going to bring jason in he can express explain his theory
01:54:17.020 and i really hope he's right but i think this is also the moment where we can get uh the save
01:54:24.460 America Act passed. Susan Collins just said that she would vote for the Save America. That means
01:54:31.120 there's 50 senators. If you don't have to have this ridiculous filibuster, and let me explain,
01:54:37.960 I have not been for getting rid of the filibuster. I wanted a return to the original filibuster,
01:54:44.480 which was not what our founders had at the very beginning. But the return of the regular
01:54:50.100 filibuster, the Jimmy Stewart goes, Mr. Smith goes to Washington filibuster where you can talk
01:54:54.860 and talk and talk. But the minute you stop talking, they have to vote. But you can slow things down so
01:55:00.800 people can catch their breath. I'm all for that. I am not for this 60 vote minimum. And you can
01:55:06.760 listen to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, all of them said it is a majority rule, except in
01:55:14.200 things like veto or anything that is requiring a supermajority. Regular bills do not require a
01:55:21.740 supermajority. And they were very clear on that. So yes, get rid of the filibuster. If you're not
01:55:27.500 going to return to the Mr. Smith goes to Washington, you have to return to the old one.
01:55:31.540 So this one's on Thune now. Thune, are you going to do anything about it? Because now you have the
01:55:35.700 50 vote minimum. And you have more than that if you actually vote. But let's see what they do.
01:55:42.240 But Jason says that this is actually the Rosetta Stone.
01:55:46.660 What's happening in California is the Rosetta Stone.
01:55:48.640 What do you mean by that?
01:55:50.260 Well, I think that in the progressives and the left's arrogance, they have done this multiple times.
01:55:56.540 But there's been this aha moment where they have gotten so arrogant that it then suddenly becomes clearly obvious to everyone what they are trying to do, in this case, through elections.
01:56:08.420 And it reminded me of the Rosetta Stone story.
01:56:11.220 And I'm not sure if you know the full story or not, but at the end of the 18th century, 1799, 7 or whatever, after the Napoleon invasion and conquering of Egypt, a single soldier found the Rosetta Stone.
01:56:26.200 And what they found later was that what it was, was in the Egyptian king's arrogance, and at this time, nobody could decipher hieroglyphics.
01:56:36.640 It was just pictures.
01:56:38.420 They had no idea what it was saying.
01:56:39.760 But in the king's arrogance, because he wanted everyone to know how amazing he was.
01:56:44.000 And the Egyptian king wanted to know exactly how you make a statue of him, how you glorify him.
01:56:49.260 This is a very important part of the story.
01:56:51.660 They wanted to put it in multiple different languages so everybody in Egypt knew.
01:56:54.760 So they were speaking ancient Greek.
01:56:56.380 They were speaking something called, I think it was demotic, which is a derivative of ancient Egyptian.
01:57:02.720 And also in hieroglyphics.
01:57:04.260 So they put all three languages.
01:57:06.160 So everyone knew how amazing the king was.
01:57:09.660 What that ended up doing was I gave a, finally, you know,
01:57:12.740 a way to decipher how to read Egyptian hieroglyphics.
01:57:15.980 Finally, everyone knew what they were talking about
01:57:19.400 or doing with hieroglyphics.
01:57:21.840 I think the same thing is happening right now.
01:57:24.160 In the left and the progressive's arrogance,
01:57:26.700 they have finally revealed,
01:57:29.020 and I think that we have to adjust probably our language
01:57:31.320 in a lot of this stuff.
01:57:32.080 I think that a lot of it gets turned into hieroglyphics.
01:57:35.260 excuse me, glyphics. When we talk about stolen elections, or when we say words like that,
01:57:41.520 what we have failed to realize, some have realized, but I think what we are missing is that in many
01:57:46.340 of these blue states, it's going exactly as planned. They have done these laws. And in some
01:57:50.880 of these blue states, it is exactly legal. It's just that I think that we have been using the
01:57:54.840 wrong language. It should be completely clear right now, exactly what they are trying to do.
01:58:00.520 This should be, this California election should be that Rosetta Stone that outs the arrogance of the left.
01:58:06.940 And they've gone too far this time.
01:58:08.620 We should all know what's going on.
01:58:10.300 And I know.
01:58:11.680 Go ahead.
01:58:12.660 Jason, will you just ask somebody on the team to ask Ricky to assign somebody on the team all of the laws where they've made these things legal?
01:58:21.920 Let's show, let's use this theory.
01:58:24.540 Let's use the Rosetta Stone theory and say, okay, so what have they done?
01:58:28.940 Because I agree with you. I don't think you can prove that it is an election fraud enough to turn things. I think there's more than enough smoke and fire to say, look at what is being attempted. I can't tell you. Maybe there is. It will only come through an investigation.
01:58:50.260 Maybe there is enough to say, look at how they've stolen the election.
01:58:54.840 I think you're right.
01:58:56.840 What is actually happening is we define it as a stealing of election, but they don't.
01:59:03.360 They've made all of this stuff legal.
01:59:05.840 And so while it's not legal in your state, it's legal in their state.
01:59:09.580 And so when you say they're stealing the election, they can clearly say, no, it's not.
01:59:14.500 It's all legal.
01:59:15.060 We're doing everything.
01:59:15.920 We are following California law.
01:59:17.680 because they've had that kind of power for that long.
01:59:21.200 Can you see if you can come up with a list of those things?
01:59:23.360 Let's look at that in the next few days.
01:59:25.100 Maybe next week I can do an after show deep dive on that
01:59:29.120 and look into it.
01:59:31.240 Okay.
01:59:32.160 Hang on because I want to also talk to you about Belfast.
01:59:35.780 This video, and can we play the video here?
01:59:38.640 I'll describe it as we're playing it here.
01:59:41.660 If you haven't seen it, kind of good for you.
01:59:44.600 um it is a guy that is in belfast and he has taken he's is he somali right
01:59:51.480 or sudanese um
01:59:56.920 and so he is he has got a guy down he's pinned him down to the ground and he's sitting on his chest
02:00:05.800 and he's taking a knife and he is he is sawing back and forth trying to hack this guy's head off
02:00:13.960 Now, the woman who's taking this video, you can hear her saying, get off him, get off him.
02:00:19.940 Well, I don't expect a woman to go in by herself, but was she the only one that was there?
02:00:25.940 Apparently not.
02:00:26.740 There was one other guy that we know of that runs up at the end and pulls him off and hits him.
02:00:33.220 And then finally other people start.
02:00:35.060 That's the only thing that saved this guy's life.
02:00:37.940 Now, last night, there were riots in Belfast.
02:00:42.500 And we've had lots of people write in today, the Torch members, and saying,
02:00:47.800 Glenn, is this the Bubba effect?
02:00:49.500 Yes, what you're seeing now is the Bubba effect.
02:00:54.360 Jason.
02:00:55.880 Yeah, what concerns me the most on this is, especially if we're talking Rosetta Stone
02:01:01.340 and what the progressives and the radicals are revealing right now,
02:01:04.860 we know that this is exactly what they are looking for.
02:01:08.760 That's what worries me the most about the Bubba effect.
02:01:11.100 And, you know, the progressives on the left know exactly what's doing this.
02:01:15.560 They know that unchecked immigration, open borders, messing with the asylum system, they know that it is dangerous.
02:01:21.780 You look at things like digital ID that the UK government is now pushing.
02:01:26.980 You heard that from the king, also heard it from Starmer.
02:01:29.560 Did you hear why they're actually doing digital ID and pushing towards more control that way?
02:01:34.500 Because they said immigrants to protect you.
02:01:38.660 It's for jobs.
02:01:39.740 It's for jobs to make sure that we know exactly who's got a job
02:01:42.720 and they're a citizen and a job.
02:01:44.140 It's absolutely ridiculous.
02:01:46.620 That is absolutely ridiculous.
02:01:48.660 And in case you don't know what the Bubba effect is,
02:01:51.880 it is something that I don't even know.
02:01:53.440 Can you look this up?
02:01:54.320 Is this an actual term or was this something that I heard
02:01:57.900 from some people in special forces years ago?
02:02:01.300 It was about 2004, and I'm with a bunch of guys
02:02:05.200 that are at special forces headquarters on the East Coast,
02:02:08.220 and they're showing me all kinds of stuff.
02:02:10.940 And I said, so what is the thing you're most worried about?
02:02:13.620 What are you training for?
02:02:14.420 What are you most worried about?
02:02:15.940 And they said, well, long-term,
02:02:17.680 the thing we're most worried about is the Bubba effect.
02:02:20.020 And I said, I've never heard of the Bubba, what is that?
02:02:22.140 They said, that is when a government, for instance,
02:02:25.240 let's just say they use the example of terrorism.
02:02:31.820 There is terrorists in the country and we have terrorism.
02:02:36.400 And let's say we have a Beslan kind of terror where it's just awful.
02:02:40.900 And everybody in the country has been saying, wait a minute, you've got to stop coddling all of these Islamists.
02:02:48.700 They're a problem.
02:02:49.900 And the government keeps saying you're a racist for saying that.
02:02:52.740 And then all of a sudden there's a huge terrorist attack.
02:02:55.340 The trust has already been lost.
02:02:57.800 And then somebody in town, Bubba, he takes action himself, does something stupid.
02:03:05.700 Everybody in town knows it was wrong.
02:03:08.420 Everybody wants Bubba to pay a price,
02:03:10.680 but then the federal investigators come in
02:03:12.860 and the federal investigators say,
02:03:14.540 you got to turn over Bubba.
02:03:15.580 And the town says, we're not turning over Bubba,
02:03:17.480 not to you people.
02:03:18.380 You're part of the problem.
02:03:20.300 You did it.
02:03:21.560 No.
02:03:22.740 And so the town starts to rise up against the government
02:03:26.020 because the government was responsible in some ways
02:03:31.580 because they either created the policies
02:03:33.540 that made it possible
02:03:34.440 or they ignored the things that were actually happening
02:03:37.480 and blamed it on the town.
02:03:38.660 So the town says, enough is enough.
02:03:40.700 That's what is happening right now in Belfast.
02:03:44.240 And it's going to happen all over the Western world.
02:03:47.720 It's going to.
02:03:48.740 We would call this a civil war.
02:03:51.960 It's not there yet in Belfast,
02:03:53.860 but I'm telling you, it's coming.
02:03:55.240 If they don't change, it's coming.
02:03:58.060 And that's what our special forces,
02:04:00.820 this is 20 years ago,
02:04:02.760 told me that they were most worried about was the Bubba effect.
02:04:08.420 And if you want to be really cynical, and I'm not,
02:04:14.120 but if you want to be really cynical and say,
02:04:16.200 what do the people who are on the left, what do they actually want?
02:04:21.580 They want to reset the nation.
02:04:24.460 They believe that this is a country that isn't worth saving.
02:04:28.140 The founding documents are the problem.
02:04:30.580 It's never worked.
02:04:31.440 man can't rule himself. We'll get a bunch of experts to run it. All the things, the great
02:04:36.540 reset, all of that. They have to have the people rise up. And we have seen them try to get us to
02:04:44.680 rise up. Yesterday with Carmelo was a great example of it. You saw people, and this was not
02:04:50.160 coordinated. This is just people being people. And that's kind of the secret in the sauce.
02:04:54.980 People being people. There were people that were standing up that were very outraged at that
02:04:59.580 verdict and who are standing right in front of white people. And I mean, nose to nose,
02:05:05.260 screaming at them, making gestures like, come on, come on, come on, come after me,
02:05:10.400 come after me. They wanted to fight. Because once you give, once you give them a fight,
02:05:15.760 then you can do all kinds of things because then there's chaos on the streets.
02:05:20.000 And we've seen this since 2008 in the tea party. They, they kept calling us all kinds of names,
02:05:26.380 trying to get somebody to strike back
02:05:29.060 and anything would happen,
02:05:30.360 they would immediately blame it on the tea party.
02:05:32.640 This is continued.
02:05:33.840 They're just different names.
02:05:35.240 They want you to fight.
02:05:37.240 The Bubba effect is the final attempt
02:05:41.020 to get you to fight.
02:05:42.760 And it happens out of frustration.
02:05:45.280 That's why you need to know about it.
02:05:47.060 You need to be warned about it
02:05:49.200 because it is a natural instinct.
02:05:52.380 But for Belfast and countries over across the seas,
02:05:55.500 I think it's going to be, we're soon headed towards that straw that will break the camel's back.
02:06:01.900 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
02:06:03.200 It's Rough Greens.
02:06:03.820 Once upon a time, your dog's food was alive and it contained all the kinds of stuff that helps a dog body thrive.
02:06:09.280 Then the government showed up.
02:06:10.620 Turns out, you know, if you want dog food to sit in a bag, well, then you have to make it sit in that bag for at least up to two years.
02:06:18.360 Okay.
02:06:18.580 That means you have to process the crap out of it.
02:06:20.980 And that's a trade-off because the food will last in the bag for two years, which is great
02:06:25.600 if you're a warehouse, but it is not great if you're a dog.
02:06:28.880 Don't get me wrong.
02:06:29.640 I'm not saying there's anything wrong with kibble.
02:06:31.300 Most of us feed.
02:06:32.220 I feed our dogs kibble.
02:06:33.600 My gosh, I got to give you an update on these two dogs.
02:06:36.560 My wife is so far gone on this.
02:06:38.080 Anyway, maybe I can do that tomorrow.
02:06:40.540 What our dogs eat is not the same that the ingredients that they started with.
02:06:46.700 It is so highly processed.
02:06:48.240 It takes all of the stuff that is alive and most of the nutritional stuff out of it.
02:06:52.900 Then they spray flavor and some stuff on it.
02:06:55.320 Look, you need Rough Greens.
02:06:57.440 This is a supplement.
02:06:58.520 You still feed your dog the same thing you're feeding him today.
02:07:00.760 You just sprinkle this on, and it puts all of the probiotics and enzymes,
02:07:04.380 everything that is alive, all the omegas and antioxidants,
02:07:07.180 right back into your dog's food, and they love it.
02:07:09.840 Just cover shipping, and you get a free trial bag today.

02:07:26.160 father's day is coming up and if the dad in your life is the kind of dad who kind of takes
02:07:45.540 grilling seriously, I have absolutely just solved your shopping problem. Because every dad who cooks
02:07:51.740 outdoors has had the experience where you have this steak, you throw it on the grill, everything
02:07:57.000 looks great. And maybe you're feeling confident. Maybe you're the grill master. And then comes the
02:08:02.800 moment of truth. Is it medium rare? Is it a hockey puck? You have no idea. And that's because you
02:08:09.800 don't want to have that moment where you're like, oh gosh, well, let's go maybe get pizza instead
02:08:13.340 because I ruined the steaks. Now, that's never happened to me, obviously, because I'm an incredible
02:08:19.300 grill master. But some dads have had that problem. And if that's your dad or the dad in your life,
02:08:24.040 that's where Chef IQ Sense comes in. It's a smart thermometer that connects to your phone.

02:08:34.080 a temperature reading. It actually walks you through the entire cook, telling you to flip,
02:08:38.900 when to pull the food, when to let it rest.
02:08:42.160 It turns, I think it's done, into I know it's perfect.
