00:00:00.000
hey stew glenn happy new year happy new year to you too stew really thank you wow did that sound
00:00:07.600
because i've been practicing that to sound sincere no it didn't no no it didn't work you
00:00:12.500
need to practice okay i'll try again tomorrow uh anyway uh new year new show you're gonna love
00:00:18.100
every second we have a few things that have been building up inside of us for the last
00:00:24.060
two weeks so this might be one you don't want to miss
00:00:27.600
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program all right well welcome stew how are you
00:00:40.460
glenn very well yeah it's uh it's i think you're amazingly uh uh accurate here when you point
00:00:47.720
out that we are in that situation where we are hitting the the ground running here oh yeah we
00:00:54.360
we jump in you come back from holiday break and you're less than two weeks away from iowa
00:00:59.080
you we launch into basically full out election mode immediately yo yo yo and we're so thank you
00:01:06.440
we got lots of technical uh it's a new year it is a new year new year new buttons yeah um so i mean
00:01:12.920
you go right into this right like i think so many people were you spend the the previous year kind of
00:01:19.180
like figuring out what the field looks like what's the what's this race what is this right and it's
00:01:24.520
got to be one of the strangest races anyone's ever looked at before right you have one we have one
00:01:29.620
side saying all they care about is democracy is they're trying to get the other guy removed from
00:01:33.280
the ballot i i have to tell you i mean i have to tell you i i i cannot believe that this is their
00:01:42.020
strategy first of all yeah i don't know if you heard about rudy rudy giuliani he's broke now
00:01:47.240
they've they've wiped his savings out he is absolutely broke there's a ruling against him
00:01:53.100
for nine figures yeah and so he is he's broke uh and that is that's the lesson the lesson is
00:02:02.040
we'll bankrupt you we'll destroy you we'll smear you you will not survive and the process really is
00:02:09.960
also the punishment it doesn't matter if they win or not it really doesn't they'll just keep going
00:02:15.760
with donald trump the way these states i mean i could not believe that they're invoking the 14th
00:02:24.780
amendment and saying well you know part of an insurrection he's not even been charged with an
00:02:31.280
insurrection not even been charged so they're taking him off because of an insurrection something
00:02:37.780
he was never even charged with in any they have 91 charges against him none of them are insurrection
00:02:45.260
none of them are and so now you have two states taking him off the ballot and there's 30 lining up
00:02:53.460
yeah plenty of them are going to try to do it let me tell you something
00:02:56.260
this should tell you everything you need to know about the democrats it should tell you how radical
00:03:05.220
they actually are they're saying that they want to preserve democracy but this isn't true
00:03:12.080
let me tell you what i think is going to happen if this goes through
00:03:17.440
uh and donald it's going to make donald trump more and more popular i have no idea how they're
00:03:26.520
going to arrange these things it's going to throw everything into chaos um joe biden's numbers are
00:03:33.400
going to continue to go down and the democrats have something that the republicans don't thank god
00:03:39.940
and that is the superdelegate the superdelegate is something that the rip of the democrats came up
00:03:48.620
with after they saw ronald reagan elected here's this guy who was out of step with the party was not
00:03:55.620
playing ball with the party but his grassroots effect just took off and they couldn't control him
00:04:02.480
and the democrats saw that and they said we can't have that happen to our party we can never have that
00:04:08.800
well for many many years there's never been anybody you know it's like al gore or bill clinton
00:04:15.600
oh geez which one which one it's not that big of a choice they didn't have a bernie sanders that
00:04:23.660
could stand up and actually do grassroots well bernie sanders did bernie sanders was not in their camp
00:04:34.500
that's why you saw all of the horse trading and everything else that was going on uh during the
00:04:42.180
2016 election they took him out now that was still not the full superdelegate thing
00:04:49.620
you're going to see it this year i really believe the democrats are going to do their superdelegate
00:04:59.200
which can vote differently than the public so it's a it's a hand selected group of people
00:05:09.640
that the party elites select and if they feel for the party or for democracy's sake the people have
00:05:20.100
been duped they can override their vote and i think you're going to see the poll numbers going down
00:05:28.320
so horribly that you're going to have to have somebody else besides biden and you can't have
00:05:37.140
his vice president and there's no way you can start a campaign now it's too late it's too late you can't
00:05:43.560
even get people on the ballot although they're strangely trying to get somebody else off the
00:05:49.120
ballot but you can't even get anybody on the ballot at this point superdelegates stand in and they say
00:05:55.700
you know what for the good of the country we need somebody that can unite us all and that would be
00:06:00.260
michelle obama wow wow you're starting off the year with this i i because i just it just makes sense to
00:06:10.120
me it may not happen but it just makes sense to me it's amazing because it shows the state of where
00:06:19.080
biden is right i mean there's a new poll out today showing that you know trump is winning
00:06:24.960
him and even with like hispanic voters and young voters and black voters black voters he's making
00:06:31.820
massive inroads in these groups that are supposed to be just democratic votes groups we've talked
00:06:36.500
about this forever they just take them completely for granted right they show up every single time
00:06:39.920
they vote 80 70 80 90 percent for democrats and they never really think about them again uh that is
00:06:45.280
not at least in the polls is changing in a big way and at some point you wonder are they just
00:06:52.780
are they really going to go down with the ship with joe biden are they really they are that dedicated to
00:06:59.220
this man what is your choice at this point and then you get to where you are right with michelle
00:07:04.620
obama or someone similar you you don't have a do am i wrong do they have another choice at this point
00:07:10.960
i think gavin newsom wants it to be gavin newsom yeah but how do you get him onto the ballots
00:07:16.600
everywhere how do you how does that happen it would have to be something within the party and
00:07:19.780
and by the way that's that's an important thing to understand with the trump part of this as well
00:07:23.120
if these states tell the republicans they're not going to put him on the ballot they can the
00:07:28.760
republican party can still make this happen for donald trump as the nominee the question is in the
00:07:34.240
general election where it becomes a problem because they can change their own rules and tell people
00:07:39.660
like you know they can do all sorts of stuff to make sure donald trump gets this election if what
00:07:43.840
people believe is that he's way ahead and they're just taking them off trying to get him off the
00:07:47.900
ballots it's a different process when it comes to the republican party but when it comes to the actual
00:07:52.040
final ballot that's a big big big deal this is this is soviet union stuff i mean the next step honestly
00:08:01.300
the next step is to put your opponent in jail but they would never try that glenn right and then here
00:08:09.080
they are trying that they are it's fascinating i mean and it's all under the context of an argument
00:08:16.000
for democracy correct it's all in this context that the media completely accepts with no sense of
00:08:24.120
irony at all about it that this is all about to preserve an effort to preserve democracy look if you
00:08:30.620
trust democracy then just beat donald trump just beat him convince the american people he's the
00:08:38.400
worst option they can't your 90 year old guy who can't get through a sentence is going to be much
00:08:42.940
better just convince them of that they can't but they obviously believe that they can't i mean even if
00:08:49.320
they could they don't believe that they can because if you believe actually in democracy which i don't
00:08:55.920
think that they do at least the elements of democracy that exist in our constitutional republic
00:09:00.820
if they actually believed in those things they would just come out and win yes you know i mean i
00:09:07.520
look i went through a weekend this weekend glenn where um the philadelphia eagles lost to the arizona
00:09:12.300
cardinals and the dallas cowboys defeated the detroit lions basically blowing up what started as a
00:09:18.580
promising season for the eagles and watching that the end of that cowboys game was horrible for eagles fans
00:09:26.160
because it really looked and detroit lions fans it looked like the lions should have won there was a
00:09:30.680
controversial call blah blah blah blah blah and people my eagles friends are like hey can you
00:09:34.860
believe that call beat the arizona cardinals and you don't have to worry about it right go out and win
00:09:41.380
the games on your schedule and you don't have to worry about the calls and the other games
00:09:45.240
this is what the freaking democratic party should be able to understand they come out and win
00:09:50.720
beat the guy you say is hitler and you don't have to worry about throwing him in prison
00:09:55.040
just beat him they're just moving too fast look at you have a situation now did you see the poll
00:10:02.740
numbers with youth on osama bin laden now yes it is crazy it's it is crazy it is 26 percent oh my god
00:10:13.560
uh believe that he was not not only had good ideas but what he did was right okay it's it's astonishing
00:10:23.880
what's happening now why is that happening because of lack of education we lived through it and we did
00:10:33.940
not show it all the time we know we don't even teach it anymore so all we're teaching is anti-american
00:10:41.140
stuff they don't know who osama bin laden really is and what do you get you get this their agenda in
00:10:52.420
schools is working we've already lost one generation we may lose two okay if that happens
00:10:59.100
and there when we don't turn it around america as we know it is gone for a while on earth it will be
00:11:06.020
found again god will not be thwarted may not happen in this country but god will not be thwarted
00:11:12.780
these freedoms belong to him you sit here and you look at what they're doing they know they can't get
00:11:23.920
all of the things that they need past past so the at the end of progressivism is either a peaceful
00:11:33.080
transition or revolution they're now choosing i think revolution if possible if if needed
00:11:41.560
they will not give this up but they they think they had all of the tools the thing that they
00:11:50.080
didn't count on was the american people they didn't count on the middle of the country actually
00:11:57.320
believing in something that they don't even understand they didn't count on a donald trump
00:12:03.420
or uh ronda santis or uh vivek ramaswamy they didn't expect the tea party and for the people
00:12:12.040
who invented the internet they had absolutely no idea the monster that they unleashed when they put
00:12:20.660
people and said you can't talk on these media outlets when the internet was ready
00:12:28.420
so now what are they going to do they have to affect the election and they're also trying to
00:12:38.040
take donald trump off of the ballot everywhere because they want turmoil in the streets they have
00:12:46.580
to have it they have to have it you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program yeah hello stew
00:12:53.500
glenn how are you oh my goodness my goodness i'm just great you know what's going to be really
00:13:00.120
great is when we can just all stay in our homes and not go anywhere you know because we won't have
00:13:05.660
to you know because it's so dangerous out there so dangerous outside have you noticed that everybody
00:13:14.800
in my house over the holidays was sick where do you think they got that outside outside outside other
00:13:20.960
people exactly right eliminate the whole other people thing from our lives everything would be
00:13:26.600
so much better and you know in davos there's probably somebody saying that uh in just the next
00:13:31.860
couple of weeks if we just get rid of all the people uh we wouldn't have all problems with people
00:13:36.700
uh anyway um there's a couple of things the uh the governors around our country are doing to make
00:13:43.520
your life just that much better uh let's start in california because gavin newson isn't done yet
00:13:50.600
uh he just signed a bill into law and uh it goes into uh effect in april uh it is uh fast food
00:14:00.740
chains national fast food chains that operate in california have to pay their employees a minimum
00:14:07.100
of twenty dollars per hour now that the minimum wage in california is sixteen dollars but they're moving
00:14:14.040
it up to twenty dollars an hour glenn did you i thought about this reading some of these stories about the
00:14:19.160
minimum wage increases because they're all over the country yeah in 2024 sure don't you remember
00:14:23.800
when we had the conversation about a 15 minimum wage yes and it was treated as a bernie sanders
00:14:30.980
fever dream right like it was like okay bernie sanders democrats were saying okay bernie sanders is
00:14:37.660
saying that but no one's really considering 15 an hour then like seattle did it and like portland
00:14:43.220
did it and everyone's like gosh that was crazy can you believe that and then and then they watched
00:14:46.940
those restaurants yeah leave move yeah um now 20 yeah no 20 dollars is is 20 we said we said at the
00:14:56.860
time why not make it 20 25 30 hell why not make it a hundred dollars an hour what is your limiting
00:15:02.700
principle here correct correct uh and we said that they're not gonna you're going to get the increase
00:15:09.460
passed to you as a best case scenario and all of those people and i know this is a small business
00:15:15.760
person when my dad couldn't afford to uh have help because egg prices he was a baker egg prices went up
00:15:24.600
or whatever happened he had to let go the staff that was doing all of the work on cleaning and everything
00:15:32.880
else and he hired me for a quarter okay that's what they do they can't they just can't print money like
00:15:41.420
the united states of america of course they said uh that it would protect the fast food workers
00:15:48.300
uh unfortunately there's been a little announcement from major uh a major corporation uh pizza hut
00:15:56.960
uh they've decided that they're gonna lay off all of their delivery drivers
00:16:01.400
and they say well i mean why should we pay for that because you can just go through door dash or
00:16:07.860
grub hub or uber eats which leads you to two things okay great but now i pay for that delivery
00:16:14.940
where i didn't pay for it before so you're getting it in the end you now have to pay for delivery instead
00:16:22.080
of pizza hut bringing it to you uh and it opens up the door for well now wait a minute all of these
00:16:29.120
drivers have been left off maybe we should regulate door dash and grub hub and uber eats
00:16:34.820
it's an that's a fascinating plan right yep and you know the from a consumer perspective who do you
00:16:40.840
blame when you're annoyed with the delivery fees you blame grub hub or door dash not pizza hut correct
00:16:45.500
so and why would you blame pizza hut you should blame gavin newsom you should though it's interesting
00:16:54.040
and this is a a hack to our system that democrats have not actually exploited as much as you'd think
00:16:59.980
over the years and they are learning that they should exploit it and at the minimum wage is one
00:17:04.080
of the most popular policy proposals in our discourse i mean usually i mean there's a poll from
00:17:10.980
last year in may 74 percent of voters support raising uh the federal minimum wage as much to 20 an hour
00:17:19.620
again people generally look at the minimum wage as we should be nice to poor people that's how that's
00:17:26.260
how people translate that right now you can bring up all the economic arguments in the world and they
00:17:31.260
don't care the actual math the actual math what actually happens to people how it hurts the exact
00:17:35.600
same people you're trying to help all that is true but when you ask people about it they don't
00:17:41.480
process it that way so what happens when you raise the minimum wage i mean it's a think about this
00:17:46.240
brilliance from the democratic perspective you raise it to 20 an hour well what happens first of
00:17:50.900
all you get a bunch of people who are maybe making 14 15 16 an hour to get more money and supposedly that
00:17:58.320
that is uh it works with what you believe i don't know if the democrat party really uh cares cares
00:18:04.760
but set that aside for a second what you do is you force a bunch of people who are on the verge of
00:18:10.580
needing you into definitely needing you as a government right you're translating these people
00:18:17.040
you're taking them from people who are making it on 15 bucks an hour maybe not with with lavish vacations
00:18:23.120
and wonderful new cars but getting by and you turn them into people who can't get by without your help
00:18:29.300
then you get to regulate doordash grubhub uber all these other things where places where people go to
00:18:37.100
work you get to regulate them because now they're just part of the economy and you can increase the
00:18:42.940
benefits that go from the government to these people because look there's all these new people
00:18:47.680
that are unemployed because they're these evil corporations and you do that by implementing a
00:18:52.020
policy that is overwhelmingly popular not only with democrats but also republicans that is uh it's
00:18:57.040
something that people really need to wake up to because they're going to start doing this
00:19:00.640
to ridiculous extents across the country yeah they're not going to so let's move on uh california
00:19:07.280
also initiating a new law today now imagine you're you have a you know toy store or a toy center in
00:19:18.060
your house or in your your business okay you're you're in the business at all of selling toys i mean could
00:19:24.740
be marginal but that's part of your product line uh today it begins they will fine any retailers if they
00:19:34.500
don't sell gender neutral children toys in their store they have to be clearly marked and sectioned and
00:19:43.880
stores that refuse to comply will face a 250 penalty for the first violation and 500 penalty for every uh
00:19:51.740
uh subsequent uh offense oh and the law also pertains to quote any product designed or intended by the
00:20:01.320
manufacturer to facilitate sleep relaxation or the feeding of children or to help children with sucking or
00:20:11.680
so it has to because it's not clothing right they don't have to have a special clothing or toys just
00:20:20.680
toys then the so wait sleep relaxation feeding of children and help children with sucking or teething
00:20:27.380
that is disturbing that's a disturbing line yeah yeah disturbingly specific like they put a lot of
00:20:34.060
thought into that but like what does that mean so like you have a section currently right where you have
00:20:39.220
a bunch of toys that are together from boys and girls then you have to have a separate section section
00:20:46.300
right like so you're not like you're you're giving options to kids who are supposedly transgendered or
00:20:51.900
non-binary or whatever the hell they're promoting this week but you it's they can't even be in the
00:20:56.520
same section with other kids because it's not the point the children not the point it is to make a
00:21:04.360
statement this store will comply there were many many stores back in the 1930s over in a
00:21:13.000
well foreign land okay that uh a lot of people were not with the nazi party they weren't with it
00:21:21.880
but they put the nazi flag up in their store window because they didn't want trouble right okay that's all
00:21:30.980
this is we have a special what non-binary what the hell is this calling for gender neutral children
00:21:40.000
toys imagine seeing that what do you think you immediately know this store caved that's that's
00:21:49.100
all this is this is muscle wow i it seems so like what again this isn't about the customers you have to
00:21:58.840
remind yourself it's not about the customers because what customers be like where what am i
00:22:02.720
do where am i going like when you go into a store let's say you have a daughter who really likes sports
00:22:08.940
right maybe isn't consistent with uh the typical gender stereotypes right you just go buy the things
00:22:18.280
they like right that's as a parent you say okay well they they they like uh basketball so i'm gonna buy
00:22:24.720
a basketball you don't necessarily need to go to a girls section girls sports section to find the
00:22:30.220
basketball they have different sizes for girls but using this as an example they're going to be right
00:22:35.040
next to the other basketballs and you're going to say this is girls basketball you're going to go buy
00:22:38.720
that now these people are going to go to these sections and then in theory go to another separate
00:22:43.960
section where there is a well marked section a well marked section have to be clearly marked and
00:22:51.520
sectioned and how long until they say this is essentially segregation you're taking these poor
00:22:56.880
non-binary kids and making them have their own section they're going to just none of this stuff makes
00:23:01.900
any sense what was segregation really all about what was segregation really truly all about
00:23:07.920
i mean it was about a lot of things um but it was about certainly uh racism skin color uh
00:23:16.800
power right a sign of power i would say mainly power i mean racism obviously but that is a function
00:23:24.160
of i want to be powerful over somebody else sure okay so what was segregation it was teaching people
00:23:32.080
you are not good enough to walk through this door these people are okay so whenever you saw whites only
00:23:41.640
you were reinforcing you were reinforcing you were teaching the public without ever saying blacks are
00:23:47.720
inferior i'm only saying whites only right okay that's all i'm saying it wasn't a good argument but
00:23:53.460
this is what they were trying this was the it was only about power and reinforcing the doctrine of
00:24:01.680

00:25:03.220
over the holiday um he's an amazing guy amazing guy and the reason why i said i couldn't start the
00:25:12.180
new year without thanking you for giving me my son back uh if you are a long-time listener of this
00:25:20.880
program you know that uh you know all of our kids are struggling and we have had real uh gut-wrenching
00:25:31.280
and terrifying moments in my son's uh growth and uh it's nothing unfortunately out of the usual
00:25:40.960
and he went to college he was you know i thought he was on a great path and all of a sudden he was
00:25:50.600
suicidal and it was horrible and didn't know what to do and uh i called tony robbins and i said tony i
00:26:00.380
don't know what to do he said send him to me and he didn't mean send him to my house personally he
00:26:06.360
said just i'm i'm gonna tell you which events your son should go to he and he talked to me about
00:26:13.000
depression and he said um we have the highest uh rebound from uh depression it's like 93 percent
00:26:23.060
even drugs and counseling it's like 47 percent uh that hold it and he said it's unlike anything
00:26:32.620
he said all we're doing is just teaching the correct principles showing them that they their life
00:26:39.300
does have meaning that they're in control of their own life they don't have to wait around for somebody
00:26:45.740
else's permission and they don't have to wait around because they can't do it yes you can
00:26:52.460
and uh i said okay so i went for a weekend with my son then my wife went for a week at uh another
00:27:01.480
tony robbins event with our son he is a different man he i i sent a broken boy i got a man back
00:27:12.960
uh it is amazing i i said to him tony i i no way i'm spending money another dime on college
00:27:22.340
that is doing everything to dismantle my children where you actually i did my best
00:27:31.580
but i couldn't somehow or another break through on this young man and you did
00:27:38.320
i'm going to send him to tony robbins university um and if i it's expensive um but it is game
00:27:49.700
changing it is game changing if if your child wants to change that's the biggest thing if you don't
00:27:59.560
want to change you're not going to change but if my son was just tired of being like that he's just
00:28:06.100
dad i i don't know what to do i can't break the cycle i i i don't know and we tried and tried and
00:28:13.640
tried and he got to a point to where he didn't want to be that way and uh he is totally totally
00:28:23.360
different it's crazy and and like holding it i mean i know it's only been about what four weeks
00:28:30.980
but still holding it this long like getting up in the morning was a problem for him i i went i think
00:28:40.240
it was day after christmas i said hey son i need and i know he was up till three o'clock in the morning
00:28:45.640
with his sisters watching movies and it was like eight o'clock in the morning and i needed some help
00:28:50.040
and i said hey son wake up can you help me with something he popped popped out of bed sat on the
00:28:57.540
edge of his bed and said sure dad what do you need and i'm like who are you who are you it's
00:29:04.260
incredible how much of this is you to have to make a real change you have to be able to come to that
00:29:10.620
decision yourself right like oh 100 i mean you know you can he had come to that decision that he didn't
00:29:19.280
want to continue the life he was doing he he saw there was only dead ends in front of me you know
00:29:27.640
remember we went we have we've gone through some dark places with him and we had uh one uh psychiatrist
00:29:35.620
say and i think it was the right thing but don't don't do this without consulting somebody um but uh
00:29:43.280
we brought him and he said uh you need to tell your son you're not afraid of him killing himself
00:29:49.180
and i'm like uh what you need to tell your son you're not afraid you'll be sad it'll be horrible
00:29:58.180
but you'll get over it and probably i mean what would happen if that happened and he took me through
00:30:04.460
it and i was like we would probably go on tour and we devote our life to suicide prevention and
00:30:10.040
and he's like so actually i mean it's bad you'll never get over that but you'll do good
00:30:17.840
and i'm like yeah and he's like you need it you need to let your son know that and i'm like are you
00:30:23.540
can i see your license i i've never wanted a holographic sticker on those license that you have
00:30:32.320
on the walls but this time i think but he was right he was right and when he stopped when he
00:30:40.020
when he learned he couldn't get reaction from us anymore which was helping him somehow or another
00:30:48.340
just making things worse but also giving him things to blame you know i don't know um but once that
00:30:57.200
went away about a year year year and a half later he's like end of his rope and we're a very close
00:31:04.660
family so we talk about everything um you do we do and uh uh but he got to the he got to the end
00:31:13.900
just you know in november it was like i can't i can't do it so i was out of options and i'm telling
00:31:22.880
you i i you know i don't i don't know tony robbins no you know i know of him probably like you do he's a
00:31:29.580
he's a guy who is motivational speaker and very successful and i think a billionaire and
00:31:35.560
everything else but i you know i've never studied him or anything else he's a lot like my father
00:31:42.420
my father taught the same kind of philosophy so i can plug into tony robbins and go oh i know what
00:31:50.360
you're saying where some people might have a problem with it because they think he's you know
00:31:55.280
saying one thing and you know he's not a guru he's teaching you how things work the mind mechanically
00:32:02.780
and the body how they work and they never change the mind is the mind and it works the same with
00:32:11.080
everybody the mind is an engine you can put whatever body of car you want on it but it's still an engine
00:32:17.520
okay um and and that's what he teaches and if you go into it thinking this is all about me this is
00:32:29.540
this is i've got to find out what the things are that are stopping me when i when i heard my son
00:32:37.320
he tony asked everybody to shout out you know your biggest fear
00:32:43.440
and uh the thing that really bothers you and i'm shouting something out and my son i hear my son
00:32:52.500
because he says i keep shouting it keep shouting it keep shouting it and you know i don't think you're
00:32:57.280
supposed to be listening but it's my son i wanted to and uh he said i'll never be greater than my father
00:33:05.600
i was heartbroken heartbroken i mean what a compliment but heartbroken because that's
00:33:18.620
absolutely not true he is going to surpass me he's going to surpass me um and that's good right
00:33:25.780
that's great what you want as a dad yeah my dad when i hit i think 40 my dad came to me and he said
00:33:33.540
you you've surpassed me as a man he said i worked my whole life and he and he started bad with his
00:33:41.000
father and he said i've worked my whole life you have now surpassed me he was in his 70s
00:33:47.080
and i said no dad i don't and he said yes i yes you have yes you have and uh he said now your job
00:33:53.860
is to see if your son can do it even a year before you did and i think my son's going to do that and then
00:34:01.660
some but i just i know people are struggling for answers and i know this is expensive um but uh man
00:34:14.020
i don't know why you're sending your kids to college i mean i think of the the the fear of college right
00:34:23.340
now the uncertainty of college right now what is it did you see google you know all hey you got to
00:34:31.180
learn to write code really do you google just let off 30 000 people this week 30 000 people you know
00:34:41.160
why ai i have no idea what to take what the future is going to look like i only know that the thing that
00:34:49.820
we came here with and i mean at birth and all the people i don't care what color they are i don't care
00:34:58.420
how they came here or when they came here but if they came here for a better life and they wanted to
00:35:05.940
be left alone to pursue their dreams because some bully was standing in the way back where they lived
00:35:14.260
they know i need some conditions that are helpful but the biggest thing i need is me i need me to be
00:35:25.360
solid i need to know who i am first i need to know what my skills are what i'm not good at and i need
00:35:33.920
to conquer those things you know it's it's amazing um tony divides people up into four different
00:35:41.920
categories water fire wood i can't remember um and uh because my son was teaching it to me just recently
00:35:50.720
um but uh he's he's saying look you might be wood right now you might be fire 20 years ago or 20 years
00:36:02.220
from now you might be that person but you should be all four of these elements okay you can be you can
00:36:10.880
be more than the others and that makes sense but you have to be all of them and he's right and if you can
00:36:19.900
give your kid a foundation at 20 25 i mean i had a really solid foundation from my father
00:36:30.120
but i didn't it didn't activate in me until i was 35 okay i think i gave my son a pretty good
00:36:40.240
upbringing my wife especially uh gave a pretty good upbringing but we couldn't activate it
00:36:46.740
and so you as a parent usually go well something will happen they'll remember you know when they
00:36:55.460
need it they'll find it well gosh yeah this is a positive way to to take action and it's you can do
00:37:05.040
it online this is not a commercial for him nothing i i tell you i wrote to him a couple of days ago
00:37:12.920
to say thank you you have given me a man you have not taken from him you've activated him you you just put
00:37:29.500
all of the correct principles in a way that made him understand and go i want to be that
00:37:36.260
tony robbins you should check it out he can do he does things online too i mean the seminars and
00:37:48.080
stuff go online it's not just about business his best ones uh empower you as an individual and that
00:37:55.900
is what we need all of us we need to realize who we are and how much power we actually have
00:38:02.660
we have to stop letting other things in our life control us and i i struggle with this
00:38:10.640
i told stew when he came in i've read 90 stories today stew and none of them good and i haven't had
00:38:18.260
a pit in my stomach in two weeks and i was fine when i got up this morning and i'm sitting here
00:38:23.900
an hour before the show with a giant pit in my stomach thinking good lord but
00:38:31.400
i have to do it so how do i do how do i how do i not let the world control me that's really the
