00:00:07.140 Friday, October 2nd to Wednesday, October 7th. Valid in-store and online.

00:00:16.780 So today's podcast starts with two of my least favorite people, Momdani and Woodrow Wilson.

00:00:24.020 We've been here before. It's actually not about Momdani.

00:00:27.300 It's about his wife, who has absolutely no role in the running of New York.

00:00:33.860 She has absolutely nothing to say about politics, or does she?

00:00:38.340 Because she's doing something really interesting this week that you need to know about.

00:00:42.760 And I expose it coming up.

00:00:44.000 Also, get out and vote.

00:00:45.540 I want you to picture yourself as the president of the United States.

00:00:48.880 And then I want to ask you, what is it that you're doing?

00:00:52.000 and what could have been a massive tragedy

00:00:55.700 is the Dubai flight miracle.

00:00:59.260 I tell you that story and so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:11.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:15.600 which way which way are we headed what are you praying for and what are you willing to do

00:01:26.040 to make sure that the american experiment the america as we know it uh continues on let me

00:01:33.580 tell you about new york city's first lady she spent the week uh this week in a castle in portugal 1.00

00:01:40.560 Rama Duwaji, she's the mayor's wife.

00:01:43.680 She is an artist in residence at a luxury Islamic women's retreat called the Women's Sanctuary.

00:01:50.780 Oh, isn't that great?

00:01:53.060 Islam just loves women so much.

00:01:55.220 Anyway, five nights, a private room, a little over $5,000.

00:02:00.640 She is not a guest, by the way.

00:02:02.620 She is part of the team.

00:02:05.220 This is the third retreat she has done with them this year.

00:02:09.560 She was in Mallorca in January, days after her husband took the oath.

00:02:14.440 She went back again on the 4th of July because who doesn't want to be, you know, who wants to be in America during the 250th anniversary? 0.97

00:02:23.520 I'd rather be at a women's retreat for Islam. 0.57

00:02:27.160 So apparently she does calligraphy, I guess.

00:02:32.600 She's now in Portugal.

00:02:35.160 And the story here really are the organizers of this thing. 0.85

00:02:39.020 On their Instagram, from the river to the sea, a prayer asking God to cleanse Palestine of its Jewish oppressors. 0.78

00:02:48.640 You know, I love it when people talk about cleansing places of Jews or anybody else. 0.91

00:02:54.180 You know, it's always so warm and cuddly.

00:02:58.040 They also called to abolish the state of Israel entirely.

00:03:00.640 And weeks after September, sorry, after October 7th, the founder praised a young woman Israel had just arrested for threatening to, quote, slaughter the Jews. 0.98

00:03:11.760 So that's good. 0.91

00:03:13.500 That's who Mamdani's wife is hanging out with this week for the third time this year.

00:03:18.880 The first lady also has her own record.

00:03:21.300 You know, at 20, she posted a tribute to a Palestinian plane hijacker.

00:03:25.380 I'm more on that hijacking as well later today.

00:03:28.200 on October 7th while it was still happening she reportedly liked a post carrying the footage of

00:03:34.200 killers that they live streamed you know the ones they were like yes we just killed a baby

00:03:39.540 and it was Jewish mom aren't you so happy then she also uh liked uh you know something that was

00:03:46.980 talking about how the rapes were all hoaxes it's really kind of hard to make that case when you put

00:03:52.040 on Instagram you doing it, but this is me. Same week, she flew to Portugal. Her husband rolled

00:04:00.080 out the plan on anti-Semitism. Okay, so that's what we do know. Now, here's what we don't know.

00:04:08.980 We don't know what she believes today because she won't say anything. We don't know. People

00:04:13.880 change between 20 and 29. I know I did. We don't know whether she's paid to be there,

00:04:20.100 who bought the ticket you know some of those old posts come from archived accounts newsweek says

00:04:26.660 it can't verify the article that broke the story has a date wrong in it we know because we checked

00:04:31.860 one of my producers is like glenn please don't make me check this too yeah gotta check it too

00:04:37.260 and he did the mayor says his wife has no role at all in city hall now isn't that convenient

00:04:45.060 and he he's probably right she probably doesn't have any role at city hall 1.00

00:04:50.460 you know like my wife has absolutely no role at the glenbeck program no role whatsoever she's not 0.53

00:05:00.160 on payroll she's not in the meetings she doesn't make any decisions now you can get away with that

00:05:07.420 unless you've been married longer than a week because every guy knows who gets the last word

00:05:13.840 before the lights go out.

00:05:16.140 I know when I've done something on the air,

00:05:19.680 my wife, again, has no role.

00:05:22.340 But when I've done something on the air

00:05:24.740 and she's like, and I go to bed,

00:05:27.340 one of the last things she'll say to me is,

00:05:29.620 I heard your show today.

00:05:32.200 Oh, God.

00:05:34.960 Yes?

00:05:36.800 I can't believe you fill in the blank.

00:05:40.300 Now, I'm sure this never happens to the mayor of New York City

00:05:48.760 I'm sure this has never happened to any other married man

00:05:53.360 Look, here's the thing

00:05:55.700 We've been here before

00:05:56.860 And especially, I mean, I could go to Hillary Clinton

00:05:59.200 I could go to Michelle Obama 1.00

00:06:01.360 She had no role whatsoever 1.00

00:06:03.780 None

00:06:05.540 we take you back to 1992 everybody's favorite president if you're a progressive woodrow wilson 0.95

00:06:14.600 woodrow wilson one of the biggest racists we've ever had in the oval office just a giant dirt bag

00:06:21.300 oh but he was he was a professor he was a scholar so they just love him anyway woodrow wilson he's 0.78

00:06:30.320 in office he suffers a massive stroke he's in the middle of a speech i think he was in california

00:06:35.520 and all of a sudden he's like and he just goes on for a while and somebody gets off stage is like

00:06:43.380 ladies and gentlemen the president of the united states they put him in a train they don't explain

00:06:48.060 what happened to him he's supposed to continue this tour you know touting the uh the league of

00:06:53.540 nations and he's like frog cat frog cat chew and i'm like okay i think we need to put him in the

00:07:01.800 home, the White House. So there he is. His left side is completely paralyzed. The country is told

00:07:07.820 he's just tired. Shoo! Shoo, cat! Shoo, cat! He's just really sleepy. He's tired. So they kind of

00:07:16.440 lock him up in his room in the White House. And for the rest of his term, nothing reaches the

00:07:22.380 president except through this one door. The door called Edith, his wife, who has absolutely no role

00:07:32.840 in the White House. None. May I just say, she is also officially our first female president.

00:07:42.160 Because what Edith did is she read the papers and she decide which papers went into the bedroom. 0.98

00:07:48.840 and then she would meet with the cabinet

00:07:51.380 and she'd say he's so sleepy right now

00:07:53.500 he just can't make it to this cabinet

00:07:55.000 and they're like really

00:07:56.440 yeah he just can't but I tell you what

00:07:59.280 what are all your questions

00:08:01.000 I'm going to go up and I'm going to ask him

00:08:03.300 and then she would go

00:08:05.080 and she would take notes

00:08:07.240 in her own handwriting she'd say

00:08:09.460 this is what he said to do

00:08:11.860 and then

00:08:13.860 they're like can we get the president's signature

00:08:15.680 on that you can't but I can

00:08:17.900 and then she would literally take his hand jam a pin into it and then put her hand over his hand

00:08:25.660 and sign the documents but she had absolutely no role whatsoever okay the cabinet secretaries and

00:08:34.120 the ambassadors they never they never see him nobody does when the secretary of state starts

00:08:39.460 calling cabinet meetings on his own.

00:08:41.300 He's fired.

00:08:42.920 By whom?

00:08:44.720 Edith.

00:08:46.160 The Senate sends two senators to find out,

00:08:48.780 is this guy even alive?

00:08:50.620 No, this is his own party.

00:08:52.260 One of them, a fierce critic,

00:08:54.260 leans over the bed and says,

00:08:55.880 Mr. President, we've been praying for you.

00:08:59.040 And Wilson, propped up on his pillow, said,

00:09:03.040 Really?

00:09:04.980 It's right you've been praying for me, Mr. Senator.

00:09:09.460 which way.

00:09:13.020 Now, she never called it power.

00:09:15.780 She called it stewardship.

00:09:18.080 Years later, she wrote that she never made a single decision

00:09:21.320 on any public business.

00:09:22.760 She had absolutely no role. 1.00

00:09:24.340 She was just being good wife.

00:09:27.920 Okay, you see where I'm going with this? 1.00

00:09:29.760 I don't believe this bull crap about her not having any effect 0.94

00:09:34.520 on Mondani or anything on the world. 0.97

00:09:37.560 believe me especially if you've ever been to and i have been if you've ever been to a married to a

00:09:44.320 really really strong liberal woman yeah yeah there's no shutting that one down okay

00:09:51.400 so she was deciding what's important that's the whole job the treaty your husband staked his life

00:10:01.080 on died in the senate that winter the one man who could have saved it was behind a door nobody could

00:10:06.500 get through because, Edith, it took the country 48 years to write a rule for what happens when

00:10:12.760 a president can't do the job. The most powerful person in government can be somebody nobody

00:10:18.340 elected, nobody can question, nobody watches, because everybody has decided she's just the wife. 0.96

00:10:25.200 Okay? By the way, let's not forget Nancy Reagan, the astrologer, helping set her husband's schedule.

00:10:30.560 wives matter which is exactly why you watch so here's what i'm watching for hey who paid for

00:10:39.720 dare i say mrs mom donnie yes i dare say it even though that's not her name she's a strong woman 0.56

00:10:47.100 she doesn't need her husband okay who paid for those trips did a dollar of city money

00:10:55.040 or one city staffer touch anything with this?

00:10:59.900 I'd like to see who gets appointed.

00:11:01.860 I'd like to see which nonprofits get city grants.

00:11:05.000 And what happens the next time a mob

00:11:06.940 gathers outside a synagogue in Brooklyn

00:11:09.040 and the police have to decide how hard to push?

00:11:13.840 This is where Instagram and Instagram likes become policy.

00:11:19.260 And watch one more thing.

00:11:20.600 The hijacker she admired, you're never gonna guess it. 0.89

00:11:24.500 He was not only an Islamist, but he was also, come on, say it with me, a godless Marxist. 0.96

00:11:33.860 I don't know how they go together, but I bet she does.

00:11:38.420 And the retreat that she teaches at is built around the prayer to Allah.

00:11:47.100 Allah and I, I think, are going to have a problem in the coming years.

00:11:52.840 I have a feeling we're not on the same side.

00:11:57.060 50 years ago, those two movements hated each other, Allah and Marxism.

00:12:03.400 Today, they share a common enemy. 0.87

00:12:06.240 The enemy is the Jew, and right behind them is you. 1.00

00:12:10.880 I don't like Jews. 1.00

00:12:12.100 Doesn't matter. 1.00

00:12:13.560 Doesn't matter.

00:12:15.180 Are you a Marxist or Islamist?

00:12:18.160 Then it doesn't matter.

00:12:19.640 when the hammer and the crescent stop arguing it's not because they made peace with each other

00:12:27.020 it's because they found somebody they hate more than each other now in five weeks and this is why

00:12:34.820 this matters to you in five weeks that merger is on the ballot and it's going to win if we all

00:12:44.140 don't go out and vote let me say that again it's going to win if we don't go out and vote

00:12:51.380 the ground has already moved in america and i don't think most americans even know it yet

00:12:58.260 in july harvard asked and harris asked registered voters in this war israel or hamas among voters

00:13:07.420 18 to 24, 6 in 10 chose Hamas, not Gaza, not the Palestinians, Hamas. Remember the ones she was 0.84

00:13:15.680 tweeting going, I love it when these Palestinians are just raping babies and then setting them on 1.00

00:13:21.080 fire. Yeah, that Hamas. Same pollsters asked that same age group in 2023 whether Israel should be 1.00

00:13:29.200 ended and handed over to Hamas and the Palestinians,

00:13:32.720 half said yes.

00:13:36.000 We just got this.

00:13:37.400 That number is closer now to 60% than 50%.

00:13:41.300 That's the latest poll.

00:13:44.300 So every one of these candidates,

00:13:47.660 and this is why they're going to win

00:13:49.000 because most people aren't paying attention,

00:13:50.800 every one of these candidates are going to say,

00:13:53.300 I'm going to get you cheaper gas and cheaper groceries 0.93

00:13:56.020 and rent you can pay.

00:13:58.360 Will they?

00:13:59.200 look up what they said before they ran look up who funded them look at who they went to Portugal

00:14:11.080 with gas matters okay you're doing the math at the pump at the grocery store gas you know gas

00:14:19.500 matters that matters it's real and I understand that but a gas price can come down in a season

00:14:27.020 A country doesn't come back in a season.

00:14:30.540 Nobody will vote to end this country.

00:14:33.700 They're going to vote for relief,

00:14:35.480 and they'll find out later exactly what came with it.

00:14:41.100 Americans in 1919 had no idea how close they were, 1.00

00:14:45.920 how they had a female president. 1.00

00:14:47.580 They never voted for it.

00:14:49.520 They found out decades later what the real story was.

00:14:53.580 nothing's ever taken from people who are actually watching it's taken when people are looking

00:15:00.800 someplace else where are you looking america what are you looking at so you know we're on this we'll

00:15:09.880 follow the money the appointments the police orders we'll tell you what we find and when we

00:15:14.520 get it wrong we'll tell you that too but we can't watch for you and we certainly can't watch with

00:15:20.340 rage. Rage is the easiest thing in the world to steer. With your eyes open, know your candidates,

00:15:26.400 know your school board, talk to the 25-year-old in your house, and on November 3rd, go out and vote

00:15:33.220 and take someone with you. In 1919, two senators walked into a sick room because somebody had to

00:15:39.360 see who was really running the country. This time, it's us walking into that room. I know we've all

00:15:46.440 been praying for our country, but in five weeks, our country asks Wilson's question.

00:15:54.020 Which way you've been praying for me?

00:16:00.460 More in just a second.

00:16:04.560 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:16:10.140 Okay, so here we are five weeks away.

00:16:13.420 America is about to vote again.

00:16:15.060 And the story of this election isn't who is winning the argument.

00:16:20.200 The story of this election is going to be about who stayed home.

00:16:25.640 The people who sent a president to Washington to fix things are tired and annoyed,

00:16:31.140 and they're telling pollsters they might sit this one out.

00:16:35.300 Before you decide that, I want you to try something with me.

00:16:39.640 the guy you hired the guy you hired as president imagine your president any president pull up a

00:16:50.120 picture of anyone on the day they took the oath of office and then look at the picture of them

00:16:55.620 four years later the hair tells you everything everybody looks at the plane and the motorcade

00:17:02.160 and the band that plays when you walk into a room but here's what comes with that you will never ever

00:17:08.440 drive a car again. You will never walk to the end of your own driveway for your mail or duck

00:17:14.320 into a hardware store because you felt like it. Every meal is checked. Every room is swept before

00:17:20.880 you enter it. Within a few steps of you, every hour of every day is a man carrying a briefcase

00:17:27.280 that can end the world. And he's there because you're the only one on the planet that has to

00:17:35.040 decide. Every morning somebody hands you a folder of things you can't unknow. Who's planning what,

00:17:43.680 where, against whom? And you can't tell your wife or anybody else at dinner.

00:17:50.060 You make phone calls every day or sign letters to mothers whose son you sent somewhere. You stand

00:17:56.800 on a tarmac in Delaware at night as the flag-draped cases come off the plane.

00:18:02.040 And the families are right there.

00:18:06.580 Some want to thank you.

00:18:08.280 Some want to scream.

00:18:11.560 Your old friends stop calling.

00:18:16.640 For lots of reasons.

00:18:18.280 One, you're the president.

00:18:20.580 They stop calling or they call because they need something.

00:18:24.060 You never will know ever again whether somebody likes you or just likes the access to the power.

00:18:31.140 Every sentence you say moves a market, starts a fight, becomes a clip, everything.

00:18:38.340 Your kids can't have a bad night in college without being news.

00:18:42.420 Congress wants credit for what works and wants you to own what doesn't.

00:18:47.300 And some of the worst are on your own side.

00:18:53.460 The press decides who you are before you were sworn, before you were even sworn in,

00:18:57.880 what you're going to do, how effective you're going to be.

00:19:01.380 And nothing you do will be allowed to change

00:19:04.360 whatever they already have thought about you

00:19:07.400 because they have their story.

00:19:09.560 And that story is going to be written into history.

00:19:14.580 Then on top of that, if you're president,

00:19:16.460 then comes the temptation.

00:19:18.240 I mean, you have the keys.

00:19:19.660 You have the prosecutors.

00:19:21.080 You have the auditors.

00:19:22.660 You have the classified stamp.

00:19:25.740 You have the pardon.

00:19:27.880 Every day, somebody who hates you does something that hurts.

00:19:32.140 And every day, there is a door in that building that could make him feel it.

00:19:38.420 You could call it justice.

00:19:40.900 That door is unlocked every morning.

00:19:43.100 Every morning, somebody has to decide, don't walk through that door.

00:19:46.160 Don't do it.

00:19:46.800 Don't do it.

00:19:48.220 And behind that is a quieter temptation.

00:19:52.140 Just give up.

00:19:53.600 Give up.

00:19:54.340 Why?

00:19:54.620 Why are you doing this?

00:19:56.220 Nobody's paying attention.

00:19:57.240 Nobody's appreciating it.

00:19:58.580 Nobody understands what you're doing. 0.97

00:20:00.340 You're getting kicked in the teeth every day. 0.96

00:20:02.640 Take the easy deal. 1.00

00:20:04.620 Kick the hard thing to the next guy.

00:20:06.340 Go home light.

00:20:10.780 Now let's make it even harder.

00:20:13.480 Let's say you're actually sincere.

00:20:15.960 You actually believe the country is in trouble.

00:20:20.740 All the bills are coming due at once, and it's worth saving.

00:20:27.240 The debt every president for 40 years promised to deal with.

00:20:32.200 The border, both parties swore they were going to fix.

00:20:35.720 The factories we shipped overseas and called it progress as we left just rubble in our cities.

00:20:43.540 Schools that graduate kids who can't tell you why this country is worth keeping and they can't spell most of the words in the United States of America.

00:20:53.700 And none of it started with you, and all of it's landed on your desk, and nobody cares.

00:21:02.900 And this isn't a good year versus a bad year.

00:21:06.340 It's which way the country goes for the next 80 years.

00:21:10.700 You didn't get an easy term.

00:21:14.360 Are we going to have a free market?

00:21:16.380 Are we going to be free people?

00:21:17.940 Are free people still going to be standing when your grandkids are your age?

00:21:22.720 Who will free people be standing when your grandkids are five years older than they are now?

00:21:30.580 And there's a piece of every part of the country that hates you.

00:21:36.280 Hates you so much. 0.98

00:21:37.520 Enough of them have told pollsters that they would actually cheer if you were shot. 0.97

00:21:44.040 And that's not a figure of speech.

00:21:46.760 People who hate you, your own countrymen hate you so much, 0.96

00:21:50.240 they would pass out candy like Palestinians on 9-11. 0.99

00:21:56.320 And you've spent two years moving things you thought no one would move, 0.94

00:22:00.460 and mostly by yourself, because your own party is worthless.

00:22:04.420 And now in five weeks, you're in another gym, another stadium, another state,

00:22:11.320 telling the people who love you, I can't finish this alone.

00:22:17.340 But they're mad.

00:22:19.000 They're mad.

00:22:19.740 and some of them rightfully so at what didn't get done.

00:22:24.220 They're mad at the price of gas and the price of groceries,

00:22:27.860 and you said you were going to fix that, and it hasn't been fixed yet.

00:22:32.640 And honestly, they can't see what you've already done

00:22:36.180 because the price of stuff is blinding them.

00:22:41.920 And half of them are thinking about staying home.

00:22:46.180 I was thinking about this yesterday, all of these things,

00:22:48.880 and I thought, how alone is that guy?

00:22:58.840 Well, I want you to know, we've been here before

00:23:00.840 and we've gotten through it.

00:23:03.200 Let me take you to March 1783.

00:23:06.200 War is won, everything but the paperwork.

00:23:09.540 Continental Army camped out in Newburgh, New York.

00:23:12.740 The officers hadn't been paid in months.

00:23:15.500 Congress, usual Congress, slimy dirtbags that they are, they promised pensions, and they have no money.

00:23:24.960 These guys gave eight years, and they're about to be sent home totally broke.

00:23:31.120 So an anonymous letter starts moving tent to tent.

00:23:34.820 Don't disband. Keep your weapons. Let's make Congress pay.

00:23:39.660 Now, these weren't bad guys.

00:23:42.240 They were Washington's men, his most loyal supporters,

00:23:46.260 the most loyal supporters the cause ever had.

00:23:49.620 And they were right about Congress.

00:23:52.640 But they were one bad decision from being wrong about everything else.

00:23:57.880 So Washington calls a meeting.

00:24:00.780 He reads a speech and it isn't working.

00:24:04.700 And the room is cold and the men are angry.

00:24:07.240 We haven't been paid

00:24:10.560 What are you going to do about it

00:24:11.540 Is anybody in Congress worth saving

00:24:13.960 He pulls a letter out of his pocket

00:24:19.540 That he got from a congressman

00:24:21.600 He was about to read it

00:24:22.600 And he's kind of stumbling over the words

00:24:24.680 And he stops

00:24:25.380 And he's stumbling over the words

00:24:27.620 Because he is not wearing his glasses

00:24:30.240 Nobody had ever seen him in glasses

00:24:34.480 You don't see a painting

00:24:36.240 of George Washington glasses.

00:24:37.640 It doesn't exist.

00:24:39.680 He hated it.

00:24:42.980 So he reaches for a pair of his glasses

00:24:45.700 that nobody had ever seen him wear.

00:24:51.600 And his one officer

00:24:52.960 who was in the room,

00:24:57.580 as he remembered it,

00:25:03.280 he said,

00:25:03.980 Washington put his glasses on

00:25:05.600 And as he's putting them on, Washington said,

00:25:11.600 a gentleman, permit me to put on my spectacles,

00:25:16.420 for I have not only grown gray,

00:25:19.660 but almost blind in the service of my country.

00:25:25.740 He became real.

00:25:27.180 the American journey experience

00:25:36.160 has those glasses

00:25:38.400 let me show you a picture of those glasses

00:25:41.860 those are George Washington's glasses

00:25:45.020 those are the spectacles that he

00:25:47.080 when he died

00:25:47.980 Martha gave

00:25:49.400 to Alexander Hamilton

00:25:52.820 who cherished them

00:25:54.540 because he was there

00:25:56.480 He knew. He was with Washington all the time.

00:26:00.460 He knew him as a man.

00:26:02.580 The men who were in that room who had survived Valley Forge started crying.

00:26:09.660 He couldn't finish. He walked out.

00:26:14.820 And as he walked out, the officers voted to stand with the Republic.

00:26:19.260 They didn't go and kill Congress.

00:26:21.520 They didn't get their money that afternoon.

00:26:24.280 Nothing about their complaint changed.

00:26:26.480 What changed is they saw what it had cost him.

00:26:37.840 Jefferson wrote years later that the restraint of that one man

00:26:42.280 probably kept our revolution from ending the way most revolutions end.

00:26:47.880 Washington never asked them to be loyal to him.

00:26:51.180 He asked them, please don't throw away what we've built together

00:26:55.560 just because you're tired and underpaid and right.

00:27:02.600 That's the ask now.

00:27:04.760 It's not about one man.

00:27:06.720 You don't have to love any president.

00:27:08.580 You don't have to like his team.

00:27:12.800 But no president has ever saved this country.

00:27:16.320 No president ever will.

00:27:17.860 The most he can do is hold the door while the rest of us walk through it.

00:27:23.580 If we stay home, he's just a gray-haired man holding a door.

00:27:36.800 I'm very concerned because we have forgotten what it was like two years ago. 0.99

00:27:42.280 And we thought it hasn't gotten better.

00:27:44.580 And gas prices and prices on the table, they have not gotten better.

00:27:48.060 And I know that's real.

00:27:49.880 But everything else has gotten much better.

00:27:52.240 We are actually building again.

00:27:54.820 We are actually becoming America again. 0.51

00:27:57.700 We are putting this nonsense, this crazy babblings of the insane behind us.

00:28:08.080 And it is our work now.

00:28:10.860 It's our share of the work, not somebody else's.

00:28:13.860 It's yours.

00:28:14.540 It's mine to register, to vote, to take somebody with you,

00:28:18.900 to run the school board and run for the school board seat that nobody wants.

00:28:24.540 Showing up at the meeting where they're deciding what your kids are going to read.

00:28:29.320 Showing up at the meeting where they're deciding,

00:28:31.720 yes, we're going to put that power plant in,

00:28:33.520 or no, we're not going to keep that data center.

00:28:39.600 Our country has never been won or lost in the Oval Office.

00:28:43.780 It's won or lost in a gym or an office on a Tuesday.

00:28:54.860 And while we're at it, do something we've nearly forgotten how to do.

00:29:01.560 Say thank you, not just to presidents.

00:29:04.640 To the people doing the right thing in front of you who never get a band.

00:29:09.420 the deputy that works a double

00:29:13.600 the teacher still telling the truth in a business 0.53

00:29:16.360 in a building that would rather have her dead

00:29:19.860 the county clerk, the pastor

00:29:22.800 the pastor who's actually preaching the truth

00:29:25.880 call him today and say thank you

00:29:28.280 the man who coaches your son for nothing

00:29:31.500 your wife who has been caring more than you know

00:29:35.560 You know, the loneliest job in any house, in any town, any country

00:29:42.500 belongs to whoever is holding it up.

00:29:47.420 Find that person this week and tell them,

00:29:49.920 I see you and I am grateful for you.

00:29:53.320 And if that person is you, if you're the one who keeps showing up

00:29:56.840 and doing the hard, right, unthanked thing while everybody else sits it out,

00:30:01.300 then

00:30:03.640 this message

00:30:07.460 is not a lecture

00:30:10.360 it's a thank you

00:30:11.860 you're not as alone as you feel

00:30:15.240 and when you've gone a little gray

00:30:18.100 in the service of the people you love

00:30:20.020 it's alright to reach into your coat

00:30:22.760 and put your glasses on

00:30:25.320 and let them see what it cost

00:30:27.860 they may not have known

00:30:29.900 the officers in Newburgh

00:30:32.620 didn't know

00:30:34.380 but once they did

00:30:37.380 they chose to do the right thing

00:30:40.040 five weeks we vote

00:31:11.800 don't need a doctor you just know right unfortunately knowing they're about to get

00:32:17.140 It was Wednesday morning.

00:32:19.660 Fly Dubai.

00:32:20.400 It was flight 107.3.

00:32:25.620 It took off from Dubai.

00:32:26.760 It was bound for Tel Aviv.

00:32:28.660 Plainful.

00:32:29.440 Families coming home from vacation, the middle of Sukkot.

00:32:35.720 Sukkot?

00:32:36.280 Sukkot.

00:32:36.620 What was it, Ricky?

00:32:37.640 Which one was it? 1.00

00:32:38.400 Sukkot.

00:32:38.700 I can't remember.

00:32:39.260 This is the one where people leave Sukkot. 0.87

00:32:40.700 This is the one where they live outside for a while.

00:32:43.780 I mean, it's, I couldn't be Jewish. 0.97

00:32:46.540 I just couldn't be Jewish.

00:32:47.520 It's too hard.

00:32:48.840 Anyway, 174 people on board.

00:32:51.960 27 of them were children.

00:32:53.200 34,000 feet one of the pilots pulls a knife and begins stabbing the other pilot

00:33:01.080 not once over and over and over again stabbing this guy and then he was trying to force the

00:33:08.540 wounded man out of the cop the cockpit so he could have the controls to himself the wounded

00:33:13.860 pilot fights back and while the two of them are struggling the plane began a nosedive and before

00:33:19.920 it's over it had dropped 13 000 feet instantly everybody was screaming transponder flashing the

00:33:26.220 code every air traffic controller dreads unlawful interference israel immediately closes their

00:33:33.400 airspace fighter jets are scrambled prime minister pulls his security chiefs into a room

00:33:38.880 on the ground nobody knew whether that plane was going to land crash or just disappear

00:33:45.000 now picture the cabin the plane is falling out of the sky

00:33:52.180 they're screaming from the front one passenger said the worst sound was the children crying

00:34:00.400 that they just didn't want to die little girl was screaming for her father because

00:34:04.900 her father was up front fighting the man with the knife

00:34:08.420 when the attacker tried to shove the pilot out the cockpit door opened and the israelis sitting

00:34:16.500 near the front they didn't wait for anybody to tell them what to do they knew these these guys

00:34:21.120 are so wide awake they ran toward the knife they dragged him out of that cockpit and when it was

00:34:27.820 over they were all covered in blood as well but the plane was still diving turns out there were

00:34:36.580 two fly Dubai pilots on

00:34:38.600 board. Where were they?

00:34:41.400 Frozen.

00:34:43.000 Frozen.

00:34:44.280 They didn't know what to do. One passenger

00:34:46.360 grabbed them, shook them, and shouted and said

00:34:48.540 get into the front of the plane.

00:34:51.200 They kind of snapped out of

00:34:52.620 it and one of them went to the front and took

00:34:54.580 the controls. Plane

00:34:56.580 leveled out.

00:35:00.020 Now what

00:35:00.580 do we do with the attacker?

00:35:03.620 Nobody had handcuffs.

00:35:04.800 They were on vacation.

00:35:06.580 somebody said, I've got charging cables.

00:35:10.180 The same cord that probably is plugged into the wall next to your bed tonight

00:35:14.480 held a would-be mass murderer face down in the aisle on that plane.

00:35:20.260 The passenger who found the cables later described his job as combat support.

00:35:27.860 He texted it out and then added a smiley face.

00:35:30.840 I don't know if I'm using a smiley face after I go through this on a plane.

00:35:34.380 And I think it's going to be a while before I, you know, colon, close parentheses.

00:35:38.920 I think it's going to be a while before I use that.

00:35:42.460 Meanwhile, an Israeli dentist is kneeling over the stab pilot and keeping him alive.

00:35:52.140 The plane landed in Saudi Arabia.

00:35:55.420 Every single passenger was safe.

00:35:58.060 Every passenger accounted for.

00:35:59.760 So I wanted to tell you this story today

00:36:04.780 Because I want to tell it in a different way

00:36:08.660 I want you to think about the story

00:36:10.600 We almost had

00:36:12.620 There's news coming out today

00:36:18.560 That this guy, the pilot

00:36:21.260 They're not sure if it was suicide or terror

00:36:23.800 But we now know that this guy

00:36:26.140 Had just gone through radical Islamist training

00:36:29.060 So I don't know

00:36:31.960 Do you think he was depressed 0.99

00:36:33.620 Or do you think he was trying to kill a bunch of Jews 0.97

00:36:36.960 I don't know 0.97

00:36:38.060 But that plane could have gone into the ground

00:36:44.220 Could have taken it somewhere else entirely 0.99

00:36:47.700 Iran 0.54

00:36:48.740 Could have turned 174 people 0.98

00:36:55.060 And children

00:36:56.220 Into corpse

00:36:58.520 just corpse after corpse or into hostages.

00:37:07.260 We have watched families live that nightmare.

00:37:11.580 I'm done seeing this nightmare on all sides.

00:37:14.760 I'm done.

00:37:15.520 I'm done looking at the number of dead in Russia and Ukraine,

00:37:19.980 the Palestinians, the Israelis.

00:37:22.500 I'm so tired of it. 1.00

00:37:24.900 But can you imagine 174?

00:37:28.340 Do you know what we would have been facing?

00:37:30.480 This week, television would have just been wall to wall, 1.00

00:37:35.040 more Jewish bodies, more wreckage, more funerals, 0.98

00:37:38.780 more proof that evil is winning, more denial, 0.66

00:37:42.240 more people rioting in the street saying,

00:37:44.540 no, it's their fault.

00:37:48.020 Instead, it's a story about a door

00:37:51.580 that opened at exactly the right moment.

00:37:54.640 They're not getting into the cockpit.

00:37:55.860 If that door hadn't have opened, it would have ended that way.

00:38:00.800 But the door opened, and the men who happened to be sitting in the front rows, they get up.

00:38:09.720 Then two spare pilots that happened to be on board, a dentist who happened to be flying home,

00:38:18.880 who can save this guy's life, a bag full of charging cables enough to tie the guy up.

00:38:25.860 Well, it just happened to have them.

00:38:27.720 Really? You can say it just happened.

00:38:29.360 You can call it luck if you want.

00:38:30.740 I can't.

00:38:32.720 I can't.

00:38:35.180 We live in a time when evil feels like it is everywhere.

00:38:38.980 And you know what?

00:38:41.040 I do believe in the pillar of fire.

00:38:44.440 I do believe the cloud that they follow during the day.

00:38:48.160 I do believe the parting of the Red Seas.

00:38:50.180 I believe in the resurrection.

00:38:52.100 I believe in all of those stories.

00:38:53.540 but miracles usually happen this way

00:38:57.000 and you can dismiss them

00:38:59.260 or you can go, look at what we just missed.

00:39:03.580 Look at the divine providence here.

00:39:07.160 Evil is everywhere.

00:39:08.300 It's in the headlines and the streets

00:39:09.640 and the chants on college campuses

00:39:11.400 and it's absolutely real

00:39:13.920 and unlike anything I've ever witnessed in my entire life.

00:39:23.540 but darkness only really looks dark

00:39:27.500 when people stay in their seats.

00:39:36.540 When people refuse to do nothing.

00:39:41.880 We are all instruments

00:39:43.520 in the hands of a mighty force for good.

00:39:49.800 you know and we none of us get to choose the day that evil sits down next to us

00:39:55.620 we don't get to choose that because i would never choose that day

00:39:58.720 the only choice we actually get is whether we stay in our seat

00:40:05.060 these all of these people on this plane none of them stayed in their seat they stood up

00:40:11.440 they defended something worth defending what is it that you are defending what is it in your

00:40:19.780 life that is worth defending. For them, it was a plane full of strangers and a little girl who

00:40:25.960 needed her dad to come back down that aisle. We all have a job to do. While we're here on

00:40:37.800 this airplane analogy, one of my friends said yesterday, we just can't see the ending.

00:40:45.320 We just can't see what's coming next.

00:40:48.540 You know, there's sun on the other side of the clouds.

00:40:51.560 Or there might be a storm on the other side.

00:40:53.460 You don't know.

00:40:54.180 And when a plane flies into the clouds, it can't see anything.

00:41:00.540 Can't see anything.

00:41:01.580 We're like that plane in the clouds.

00:41:03.200 You can't see anything in front of you.

00:41:05.620 But I'm telling you, there's a runway down there.

00:41:07.760 And we're going to land the plane if we don't just sit in our seats.

00:41:12.120 it's not ours to see it

00:41:18.680 to not let this slide past

00:41:26.580 on the crawl at the bottom of the screen

00:41:28.860 we need to do that

00:41:32.620 because nobody died

00:41:34.080 there's no footage of wreckage

00:41:35.840 this is a miracle

00:41:37.640 and a miracle that nobody noticed

00:41:40.800 still happened.

00:41:44.360 But the people who miss it

00:41:45.820 go on to believe the darkness is winning.

00:41:48.220 So here's the part of the story

00:41:49.420 you're not going to see on most newscasts.

00:41:51.320 After the plane landed,

00:41:53.200 the Saudi doctors came aboard

00:41:54.640 and cared for the children and the passengers

00:41:56.580 who were panicking.

00:41:58.220 They brought food.

00:42:00.400 One of the Israelis said the Saudis

00:42:02.440 were so unbelievably kind and understanding.

00:42:07.220 Human to human,

00:42:08.360 not Saudi and Israeli.

00:42:10.040 humans a senior saudi official found the israeli dentist the saudi and the jew he congratulated

00:42:19.720 the dentist for saving the pilot's life he thanked him then he took the dentist by the hand

00:42:26.960 and the two of them walked together in front of everybody

00:42:31.220 a jewish dentist and a saudi official hand in hand on a desert runway 0.81

00:42:37.640 on the holiday when Jews live in flimsy little booths 0.72

00:42:42.580 to remember that God sheltered them in the wilderness. 0.96

00:42:53.020 A reporter yesterday asked the man who found the charging cables

00:42:55.940 how he managed to make doof with so little.
