00:00:00.000 Behind our nation's defense is a powerful network of Canadian communities,
00:00:03.920 supported by Lockheed Martin Canada.
00:00:06.240 It's a network of over 1,300 employees and over 1,000 local suppliers,
00:00:10.880 from small family businesses to major tech firms.
00:00:14.160 Together, we've delivered a $3.6 billion boost to the Canadian economy over the past five years.
00:00:20.000 That's money that goes to securing our skies, our oceans, and the place we call home.
00:00:25.240 Learn more at LockheedMartin.com slash Canada.
00:00:30.000 hey on today's program i talked to you a little bit about the democrats and trials that are coming
00:00:38.900 if we can squeeze it in i hope we can get the thing about van jones in there because you want
00:00:44.180 to talk about you want to talk about dishonest politics let's let's talk about that it's on the
00:00:49.780 full show hopefully it'll be in the best of here too if we can edit it in and save time
00:00:53.980 also data centers and the vote and a great story as we're talking about immigration about how you
00:01:02.340 can change things just by changing who you are a story from japan that has just come out about a
00:01:09.440 kid who did something probably 40 years ago and it's just coming out so it's remarkable story
00:01:16.720 all that and so much more on today's podcast
00:01:18.720 all right so why was that question on the president you know of the president can you
00:01:44.000 forgive people why was that so ridiculous it was ridiculous because um there's two there's two
00:01:51.280 headlines uh this week one from each side again not just not just what i told you let me give you
00:01:57.660 two more headlines let me show you one from both sides friday the president of the united states
00:02:03.460 posted that he was ordering the justice department to look into democrats who are threatening to
00:02:07.740 impeach members of his administration and he called it extortion at the highest level
00:02:12.980 now the day before uh the guy who was about to take over the house oversight committee
00:02:20.500 read out his list steven miller cory landowski uh christy noem and members of the president's
00:02:30.020 family. And then he said that Stephen Miller should lawyer up. Really? Because has he had a
00:02:40.460 hearing? Have they had a hearing? Does he have fighting? There's subpoenas out there. There's
00:02:45.360 no witnesses. No, no, not a single question has been asked. And yet from both directions,
00:02:50.520 the verdict is already in the mail. I want to tell you, you know, usually what comes in the
00:02:58.620 mail is a bill. So let me tell you about a bill, a real one. Took 42 years to pay, still sitting in
00:03:05.320 the federal statute books, and almost nobody has ever read it. The year is 1798. Our country is 10
00:03:13.540 years old. We're on the verge of war with France, and the party in power is sure the people 0.98
00:03:19.260 criticizing it are working for the enemy. So Congress makes it a crime to publish anything
00:03:25.820 false scandalous or malicious against the government the congress or the president boy
00:03:32.200 is that a bad idea now the first man they put on trial was a sitting congressman he was matthew
00:03:38.900 lyon he was from vermont and he came over from ireland as a teenager he was an indentured servant
00:03:44.920 you mean he was a slave well no he was an indentured servant a white kid ha anyway story
00:03:52.820 goes, he was traded for a pair of bulls and for the rest of his life, his favorite oath was by
00:03:58.960 the bulls that bought me. He was not a lovable man. Okay. Earlier that same year, he spat in
00:04:06.780 another congressman's face on the floor of the house. And then another man came at him with a
00:04:11.440 cane. It was, it was a different era. Okay. This is not a story about a saint, but that's what
00:04:17.820 makes this story useful because the law never protect protects only the people you like 0.92
00:04:24.100 so what did he do he wrote that president john adams had an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp 0.65
00:04:32.840 wow that was the crime and if that's sedition i gotta tell you there's an electric chair in my 0.51
00:04:39.640 future uh the jury took about an hour and he got four months in jail for saying that and a thousand
00:04:48.160 dollar fine which was real money back then they put him in a cell 16 by 12 it was the cell they
00:04:55.960 used to use for counterfeiters and thieves and runaway slaves then vermont did something nobody
00:05:03.400 in Philadelphia, which was the nation's capital at the time, expected. They re-elected him from
00:05:09.800 the jail cell, and it wasn't even close. Two to one, this guy was re-elected. Now, read the law
00:05:17.520 to the end. The Sedition Act came with an expiration date written into it, March 3rd, 1801.
00:05:24.420 On March 4th, 1801, the next president takes the oath, and they wrote it to die the day before the
00:05:32.960 next administration could pick it up and go against them huh because the men who wrote that
00:05:39.380 law knew exactly what they had built and they knew they didn't want it in the other guy's hands
00:05:44.540 so they wrote it so it would end when Adams was done they lost anyway Adams lost in 1800
00:05:51.240 the party that jailed a man over an insult never won the White House again Jefferson came in and
00:05:59.280 pardon the people who were still serving sentences. Now, here's where the bill comes in.
00:06:04.460 It's July 4th, 1840, 40 years later. He had, Matthew Lyon had been dead for almost 20 years
00:06:13.600 and Congress passes a private act, six volumes of the statutes at large, page 802. It orders
00:06:22.160 the treasury to pay his heirs $1,060.96 plus interest from February 9th, 1799.
00:06:31.760 Somebody in the United States government sat down with a pencil and worked out
00:06:35.740 41 years of interest on the price of punishing a man for his opinion, and then we paid for it.
00:06:44.900 Nobody tells you this about political punishment. It just feels like a verdict. It isn't. It's not
00:06:50.840 a verdict when you go after your enemies it's not a verdict it's a loan the day you take it out it
00:06:57.360 feels like you're collecting but you're not you're borrowing and the interest runs the whole time
00:07:03.900 whether you're watching it or not and it almost always get gets paid back one way or another
00:07:09.500 it will get paid back almost never by the people who signed signed it okay so now let me go back
00:07:18.800 to this week, and let me be fair about it. Oversight is not a crime. Congress investigating
00:07:25.920 the executive branch is the Constitution working the way it was drawn up to work.
00:07:32.080 My problem is, all we did was investigate, and then we find corruption and nothing happens.
00:07:39.780 Explain COVID. But I digress. If there is corruption, I want people to find it on both sides.
00:07:48.800 And the president's complaint isn't imaginary. He's been impeached twice. He's been indicted
00:07:55.300 in four jurisdictions. For years, he has watched, we'll impeach you, used as a campaign slogan.
00:08:03.380 That's not the American system. And if you've lived through that, an impeachment threat doesn't
00:08:08.500 sound like an oversight. It sounds like a hunting license. And that's exactly how they mean it.
00:08:13.380 now listen to the order of the words lawyer up that's what you say after you've done the
00:08:22.420 investigation you've had the investigation you now know what you believe to be the answer and
00:08:27.680 so you say you better go hire attorneys because i'm taking you to court when the conclusion comes
00:08:32.500 first the hearing isn't a search anymore it's a setup that's it on the other side impeachment
00:08:41.580 is article one it's a power the constitution hands to congress on purpose when a president
00:08:48.380 you know sends prosecutors after people for threatening to use it he's not defending against
00:08:53.680 lawfare it's lawfare with the arrow pointed the other way if you think a threat is political
00:09:00.040 the answer is a vote not a prosecutor now on our side
00:09:08.000 our side, Republicans, are talking about impeaching Pete Hegseth as soon as next week.
00:09:16.120 What the hell are you talking about?
00:09:20.120 As of now, nobody's listed a single charge. I mean, that's what's so confusing to me. I'm like, 0.50
00:09:24.480 what did he do to be impeached? You may not like him. You may not think he's the sharpest tool.
00:09:29.200 You may think he's whatever, whatever. But what's the charge you're thinking about impeaching him
00:09:35.120 over. And according to their own people, the motive is somebody needs to carry the blame for
00:09:41.480 this election. What? What? That's not accountability. That's hunting for a cell
00:09:49.400 you want to put somebody in so you don't have to stand in that timeout corner yourself.
00:09:55.720 here's what vermont understood in 1798
00:10:01.360 jail a man's argument and you've just given it an address oh and people will come find that address
00:10:11.960 they came by the thousands with ballots the federalists thought they were silencing one
00:10:17.860 loud irishman they weren't they were writing his campaign ad and their party's obituary in the same
00:10:24.300 hand. So before anybody in Washington sends the next bill from either party, ask one question,
00:10:30.380 who's paying the interest? There's a page in volume six that answers it. It won't be you.
00:10:39.460 It'll be somebody who isn't even born yet, sitting at a desk in some year you'll never see,
00:10:44.380 working out with a pencil, what your anger is costing them now. Your grandchildren or your
00:10:49.940 great-grandchildren are going to be the ones that have to write a check for this.
00:10:52.680 you'll have been dead for years i'll have been dead for years 42 years 1060 dollars and 96 cents
00:11:00.480 plus interest that's what happened last time how about when we really got angry and we were like
00:11:06.420 oh my gosh the japanese bombed us what happened there who wrote the check for forgiveness on that
00:11:12.180 one. They're still demanding a check for slavery. The country stopped slavery, you know, what, 0.95
00:11:22.940 160 years ago? Still want a check for that? You're going to pay. And you know who's going to pay
00:11:30.740 first? The politicians who started. They'll pay for it in a different way. They'll end up,
00:11:40.140 They'll put their people in jail, and then the roles will flip, and then they'll be put in jail.
00:11:47.600 Hey, pretty soon, maybe we can all go to jail. Wouldn't that be fun? Everybody goes to jail.
00:11:55.220 That's where we're headed. This has got to stop. This has got to stop.
00:12:00.900 But I'm not sure it will because we've just empowered people who have been telling people
00:12:10.000 this is what they're going to do. And we voted for it anyway. We're going to change the
00:12:15.440 Constitution. We're going to change the Congress. We're going to get rid of the Senate. We're going
00:12:20.820 to get rid of the president. We're going to put all these people in jail. They with glee have said 0.97
00:12:26.980 this is what they're going to do. And half the country said, I'm with you, brother.
00:12:33.420 What's weird, again, I go back to hypocrisy. I thought that's what they didn't want.
00:12:37.780 I thought that's what they said was fascism.
00:12:44.720 Maybe you've been right the whole time. Maybe the left doesn't understand the meaning of the word
00:12:52.320 fascism. Back in just a second.

00:14:17.900 and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:14:24.940 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:30.100 We're glad you're here.
00:14:30.820 I want to get Jason in because I just told you,
00:14:36.060 Donald Trump is triangulating.
00:14:40.880 You may not like that.
00:14:42.980 And I don't want amnesty.
00:14:45.140 I do not want amnesty.
00:14:48.220 But I do want a workable road to be able to hold people accountable
00:14:53.780 for what they've done um allow good people to have a uh an exit plan uh that is reasonable so
00:15:04.140 we're not just trying to scoop up you know everybody who's mowing a lawn uh in america
00:15:09.960 that we have a orderly system that can work now i don't think there is one quite honestly so i don't
00:15:17.760 that's why i say i don't have an answer for you because i don't think there is one
00:15:20.840 but I will tell you this
00:15:23.280 what Donald Trump is saying now
00:15:25.880 is he saw the numbers
00:15:26.980 we were hemorrhaging Hispanics
00:15:30.400 Hispanics are 1.00
00:15:32.020 conservative
00:15:32.800 they're conservative
00:15:34.400 they sit with our values
00:15:36.880 now what happened was 0.64
00:15:39.740 Kristi Noem blew it 1.00
00:15:41.640 she blew it 1.00
00:15:42.700 and the administration blew it 1.00
00:15:45.020 they had a bad PR strategy
00:15:47.620 and it worked well 1.00
00:15:49.520 for a lot of people, including Hispanics, when you were going to get the bad guys.
00:15:54.580 But then the left imaged everything about ICE just going after Maria and her child in second
00:16:01.060 grade. That's not true. None of that was true. But our administration could not get out of its
00:16:07.320 own way. Now, he replaced Kristi Noem with Homan. So he didn't go easy on that.
00:16:15.020 he doubled down with Homan, but Homan knew at least how to navigate these waters. You cannot
00:16:23.200 dismiss politics. You can't. You have to figure out a way to bring enough people to the table
00:16:31.240 so you can win to get things done. We don't do that. And the people who are saying,
00:16:38.860 i want everybody out you know what you can want that i in a dream world that's what i want i want
00:16:47.240 everybody here accounted for and then i want to bring people in through an orderly line so we
00:16:53.280 know who's here why are you here we got it we have to do that but how are you doing it how are you 0.98
00:17:00.380 doing it you just got your ass handed to you because the left knows how to sell things and 0.99
00:17:07.580 we blew it you cannot continue down this same road and expect different results that's insanity 1.00
00:17:13.680 that's the definition of insanity i want to do exactly the same thing we were doing and expect
00:17:18.920 different results it won't happen jason i yeah i agree that they haven't they haven't sold sold
00:17:28.120 it well and maybe they didn't execute it well um but what i do know is this what what the president
00:17:35.960 kind of sounded like was it kind of sounded like republicans over the past you know decade plus
00:17:41.360 going all the way back to reagan really marco rubio lost favor with a lot of you know republicans
00:17:46.380 sounding kind of similar on this back in the day and this is also him taking a hard line against
00:17:52.120 it was what propelled him into winning not one but two different administrations specifically
00:17:56.980 on immigration i think personally i if if a fight is worth fighting you fight it if it's backing up
00:18:05.760 your principles and values which is the rule of law um we're not going to turn our backs on the
00:18:12.720 people that in the immigration system that are waiting in line to get in patiently following
00:18:16.640 the law but it doesn't matter if you sneak across the border at night and then run in and get a job
00:18:22.080 then okay fine so if 10 years from now we'll give you amnesty so if the united states couldn't have
00:18:27.120 convinced hitler that we were going into greece instead of italy which we had to go through would
00:18:34.480 you have said it's worth fighting it doesn't matter just go in and let all of us be slaughtered
00:18:39.820 on the beaches well so no no the answer to that jason is no you use strategy and you move your
00:18:53.720 opponent to where you have a clearer path to victory it doesn't guarantee victory it just
00:18:59.420 means you move your opponent and you weaken your opponent so you can go in and you have the
00:19:04.700 clearest path to victory by just saying we're going in anyway because we believe it you're
00:19:10.160 you've got to adjust to the information coming to you on the ground otherwise you're going to
00:19:15.720 get slaughtered every time on the beach i guess my problem with that analogy specifically is
00:19:19.940 we're talking about in that case if that had been tried for 10 20 years and every single time it
00:19:27.100 had failed and not accomplished anything you'd be like obviously you're jumping to the end
00:19:31.360 you're jumping to the end you're jumping to we're just going to give people amnesty
00:19:36.660 i'm not saying that's what we should do i don't like that it fails every time well then what are
00:19:43.160 you saying that has failed every single time well amnesty has failed every single time sure i'm not
00:19:49.340 saying that's what we're saying now but the rhetoric sounds very very similar so even in
00:19:54.020 rhetoric can cause massive moves on this front even just the rhetoric even the hint of it can
00:19:59.060 cause migrant caravans to form up and cross over the boy i know that i know that i yeah i i don't
00:20:06.440 know i i do know glenn that he this has been very very very politically damaging uh to the
00:20:12.020 maga movement to conservatives to the trump administration i know this um but i do know
00:20:17.540 it has also been something that has saved america exactly yes yes yes i mean you can't you can't
00:20:25.860 let's not just give the downside let's give the upside as well what donald trump did nobody else
00:20:30.600 has done and by the way barack obama deported more people than donald trump has that's so
00:20:37.760 ridiculous let me say that again barack obama bill clinton deported more people than donald trump
00:20:45.140 has bill clinton was the one that built the original wall for crying out loud yes they don't 0.95
00:20:50.340 care the left and all these activists do not care about immigrants i i do not believe that i think
00:20:55.820 they're just willing about whipping up public sentiment and then give you giving their base
00:21:00.380 something to be angry at or be afraid of that's it that should be very obvious with immigration
00:21:05.700 going back to clinton then obama and now that should be very very obvious what i do know is
00:21:10.240 if we get into a rut of being scared of doing the hard things that are in line with our values,
00:21:18.640 the rule of law, our principles, we are in a very, very dangerous state.
00:21:22.780 You think Donald Trump's afraid?
00:21:25.460 I don't think he's afraid, Glenn.
00:21:28.080 No, he's a pragmatist.
00:21:29.360 And I think that he is trying to figure out that ground of, well, how do we still do this,
00:21:34.560 but not have the crazy waves of people out there?
00:21:39.420 and if we can't have that conversation um without everyone calling each other a traitor
00:21:46.240 yeah i'm not saying i am not saying amnesty by any stretch i'm against it 100 against it okay
00:21:54.320 but i don't know what the right answer is and the right answer might be just the best pr campaign
00:22:00.820 you've ever seen in your life could be that could be no well we have to we have to have some sort
00:22:07.060 a system setup. I don't know what it is. I really don't. And I'm not suggesting anything. And if I
00:22:13.040 am, you shouldn't listen to me because this is not my area of expertise. Okay. So I'm not suggesting
00:22:18.620 any alternative. What I am saying is the conversation has to be had. We must, we must
00:22:27.620 be able to bring this up in rooms and with our political leadership and say, look, there are no
00:22:34.780 go zones here amnesty is a no go zone period however how can we how can we work this situation 0.93
00:22:44.400 to where we can at least get the hispanics back on our side and actually mean it not just say
00:22:50.600 not just do what the what the democrats do to the uh the black community oh we're with you you vote
00:22:58.720 for us we're gonna make your life a living hell that's what they've done i want to be people of
00:23:04.340 integrity i want to have that conversation but if we can't if donald trump can't say i don't know
00:23:09.580 what it is but i think there's some people that we could talk to now i don't know what his solution
00:23:14.300 in his head is it's probably further probably closer to amnesty than in my head but i don't
00:23:20.720 think it's going to happen because they're never going to work with him on it they're never going
00:23:23.960 to give him that win never will they give him that win no they need this to be a problem in 28
00:23:30.760 so it's not happening so all of the time that we're spending talking about him doing it i think
00:23:37.080 is a waste of breath talking about what are we going to do in 2028 i think is vital but it will
00:23:45.460 not happen if everyone says you're a traitor put the traitor thing away and let's talk about
00:23:53.560 what can we do you know i have a real problem it let me do this
00:24:00.620 i learned from roger love who's a vocal coach something really good really good never ever
00:24:10.300 say no he said even in my marriage i don't say no no matter if i don't want to do i just
00:24:17.160 no i know i don't want to never say no say not at this time
00:24:26.520 now let's let's consider i might reconsider that but not at this time you never close a door
00:24:37.220 on anything and it keeps people's minds open you can't there's nothing worse than sitting around
00:24:43.440 and brainstorming and this is what we should be doing right now we should be brainstorming we
00:24:48.580 should be looking for facts what the hell just happened how did this happen what did we do wrong 0.81
00:24:54.480 and if anyone sits at the table and says you know what whose fault it is it's you know the Jews
00:25:01.220 okay well there you know there are some things that we just don't cross and that's not it so
00:25:07.240 no you're not welcome at the table but if it's somebody that says you know what the problem is
00:25:12.160 we were too harsh on this particular topic i don't care what it is too harsh okay
00:25:18.360 all right let me hear you out i may not agree with you but i want to hear you out
00:25:24.100 because we're in the place now where we have to hear all reasonable opinions and then we have to
00:25:32.020 have a reasonable conversation and the worst thing we can do is say nope sorry we're not talking about
00:25:39.160 that mom's cancer has gotten worse well maybe mom maybe maybe guys we were wrong we should have
00:25:48.700 tried chemotherapy or we should have tried something that everybody was against we should
00:25:53.080 have tried that no we're never gonna do that well then i can't get to a real answer here
00:25:57.840 i can't get you just hate mom because you want chemo no i don't hate mom i'm looking to have
00:26:03.980 a conversation is, what have we done? What have we not done? Is there something that we can do
00:26:10.500 that maybe isn't chemotherapy, but is on the road to chemotherapy, but we never get to chemotherapy?
00:26:17.680 I don't know, but I have to have a conversation without the rest of the family saying, 0.98
00:26:22.660 you just want to kill mom. What we're doing to each other right now, if we're yelling at each
00:26:28.540 other calling each other traitors is exactly what the left taught everyone to do with covid
00:26:35.620 oh you won't wear a mask oh you think we should put kids back in school
00:26:41.560 you want to kill old people and children no i don't no i don't well science is science and
00:26:50.460 that's it no there are other things that we can talk about there are other choices 0.93
00:26:54.600 and you know what we should not shout each other down we should listen listen and work on facts
00:27:02.500 and then find the best way to make what we need to happen happen
00:27:09.560 we're we're we're we're we're part of the problem if we're calling each other traitors
00:27:16.880 i can say i disagree with the president i strongly disagree with the president on x y or z
00:27:22.360 strongly disagree with him on that.
00:27:25.020 But I still support the president.
00:27:27.140 I think he has the best interest
00:27:28.760 of the country at heart,
00:27:29.940 but he's wrong on X, Y, or Z.
00:27:33.560 We have to get to that point.
00:27:35.280 That's where we always were
00:27:36.820 as a nation.
00:27:38.660 That's where we have to be again.
00:27:45.240 You're listening to the best
00:27:46.780 of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:27:52.360 you know certain headlines kind of remind you of just how bad human beings are at predicting what
00:28:10.820 they'll need to be prepared for here's one lab worker russia died anti-plague laboratory nearly
00:28:17.000 200 people have been quarantined the suspected disease is pneumonic plague which can spread
00:28:22.260 from person to person rapidly.
00:28:24.520 The risk to Americans, right now, very, very low.
00:28:27.620 But that's not the point.
00:28:29.200 You don't prepare because you know
00:28:30.480 what the next emergency will be.
00:28:31.920 You prepare because you don't.
00:28:33.780 That's one reason I appreciate the Jace Medical
00:28:35.940 and Jace case.
00:28:37.260 This Jace case gives you a supply
00:28:38.900 of prescribed emergency medications to have on hand
00:28:42.100 along with information about how
00:28:43.540 and when they should be used.
00:28:45.380 Here's what caught my attention about this story.
00:28:47.680 When caught early, plague can be treated
00:28:49.220 with common antibiotics that already come standard
00:28:51.700 in the Jace case.
00:28:53.300 I'm not telling you
00:28:53.920 plague is coming to your house.
00:28:54.940 It's not.
00:28:55.340 Nobody knows that
00:28:56.100 if or when
00:28:56.920 and I don't think it is.
00:28:57.900 But Jace.com

00:29:08.500 You're listening to the best
00:29:10.000 of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:21.700 okay i want to tell you about this school girl she was crouched down on the ground in public
00:29:33.260 she was crying it was the middle of an ordinary day in japan and the world was going on with its
00:29:39.400 business all around her she was a korean and she was living in japan now remember america is the 0.88
00:29:46.660 only racist country in the world. We're the only ones that have these problems. Everybody else is
00:29:51.420 perfect. Well, except for, in this case, the Koreans living in Japan at the time. She was one 1.00
00:29:58.340 of the Korean girls that went to school there. And the girls at these schools wore uniforms 0.70
00:30:05.500 and you could spot it across the street. It was a long flowing skirt, had a short jacket tied up 0.99
00:30:13.680 at the chest with a ribbon and in those years that uniform made them targets girl would be 0.66
00:30:21.820 walking home or standing in a crowd and someone would come up close with a blade and cut the
00:30:26.960 jacket off her and the cloth would fall would fall open and she was standing there basically
00:30:33.980 naked from the waist up you know out in the humiliation out in public okay and that's what
00:30:41.700 happened to her uniform was slashed open and she couldn't stand up because it meant being seen so
00:30:48.420 she is now down on the ground she's folded around herself and just weeping and this high school kid
00:30:55.200 sees her and he was japanese he didn't know her he was not from her school or you know he didn't
00:31:02.140 go to her school she didn't go to his she wasn't from his neighborhood they had no connection
00:31:08.440 whatsoever and most people just walked by and he could have done that and he could have walked by
00:31:17.340 nobody would have ever said a word years later he said a female student was crouching down and
00:31:24.380 crying and i i knew something was seriously wrong so he's wearing a winter coat it's black wool
00:31:32.300 it was brand new his parents had just purchased it for him and if you've ever been a teenager
00:31:38.820 with something new that you're proud of you know what that coat meant to him it still had the
00:31:44.780 stiffness in the shoulders it was still I mean it was brand new it's brand new the kind of thing
00:31:49.560 that your mom or your dad would give to you and then go take care of this something that a father
00:31:55.200 remembers paying for. So he walks by her and he sees her and he takes his brand new coat off and
00:32:02.640 he gives it to her. He didn't lend it to her. He just gave it to her. He put it around her shoulders
00:32:09.880 so she could stand up and walk home covered. And he walked her home. And then he went home without
00:32:17.300 it. This was done at a time when there were no cameras. There were no phones in anyone's pocket.
00:32:23.780 it. No teacher heard about it. No newspaper wrote about it. Nobody called it heroic. He forgot about
00:32:29.960 it, but she never did. He walked home in the cold without the coat his parents had just bought him.
00:32:38.980 She gets home. She has the jacket. And then she did something that nobody would expect
00:32:44.620 she would do. She kept the jacket. Now, she didn't keep it just for the winter or not just
00:32:52.200 for a few years she kept that coat for 30 years she finished school she grew up life moved on the
00:32:59.400 way it does and all through all of it somewhere in her home there was a teenage boy's black wool
00:33:05.480 winter coat that hadn't fit her didn't fit her when he gave it and didn't fit her for other
00:33:10.620 reasons and she never gave it away because the coat held one thing she knew about him
00:33:17.320 his name it was written on the inside his full name so for 30 years she kept this
00:33:25.280 in her closet this coat and she carried a name she couldn't find him by face she didn't remember
00:33:32.540 really what he looked like there was no address nothing just a name written on the coat of the
00:33:36.220 person who cared enough to stop so just a couple of months ago she opens up a newspaper in japan
00:33:44.440 And there's this article about a guy who's doing charity work and helping single mothers.
00:33:50.380 He's 50 years old now.
00:33:54.000 There was nothing in the story about a coat or a girl or a day 30 years earlier.
00:34:00.340 Only thing that she noticed was the name.
00:34:04.100 It was the same name on the coat.
00:34:06.880 The boy who had covered her on the worst day of her life had grown into a man who had spent
00:34:13.280 his days covering strangers nobody had told him to nobody had told him that somewhere out there
00:34:24.680 one girl had never forgotten so she found him and she gave him his coat back 30 years late
00:34:35.140 still black wool still had his name on it and word gets around
00:34:41.080 in tokyo there's a korean painter named park chen moon he's about 80 years old now
00:34:49.180 and one of his paintings is titled simply chigori it shows a school girl in her uniform
00:34:57.020 with a sleeve torn in june he invited this man to his studio and he said could you bring your coat
00:35:07.080 the old man had painted a torn sleeve
00:35:11.580 now he was looking at the coat
00:35:14.500 that had covered one
00:35:15.740 the coat of a 50 year old
00:35:21.040 who had once been a boy in the cold
00:35:23.720 and the painter said
00:35:27.380 he's like a treasure to us Koreans
00:35:29.680 you know what's amazing about this story
00:35:34.580 I guess this is the Japanese culture
00:35:36.080 nobody knows her name she never has given her name can't find it anywhere she's never asked
00:35:41.800 for anything all she wanted to do was give the coat back
00:35:45.460 his mom probably wrote his name in that coat in case it was ever lost it would find its way back
00:35:57.000 home to him thinking that it would be lost at his school or left behind at a game or something
00:36:02.660 but it wasn't lost it was given away and it still found its way home it just took 30 years to do it
00:36:12.520 norihise koyama is his name
00:36:18.900 written on the inside of the coat
00:36:27.840 i think this story is remarkable for a couple of reasons
00:36:31.120 I think this story is remarkable because it shows
00:36:38.140 what started with this kid
00:36:44.200 this boy ended up to be
00:36:46.040 a lifetime
00:36:46.820 now maybe he was like this before that moment
00:36:52.180 most likely he had been raised
00:36:54.040 by great parents or had just some
00:36:55.860 burning spirit inside
00:36:58.220 of him
00:36:58.580 but it looks like he went on to live his whole life and he did it without the accolades that
00:37:07.540 you would get today if you would have done that today most likely he or somebody around him would
00:37:15.040 have posted it and then there would have been a you know go fund me thing and everybody would
00:37:20.560 have made him into a hero nobody did that nobody did that but the more remarkable part of this
00:37:27.520 story. He may never have really thought of that ever again. He may have done that. You know how
00:37:37.360 you've done things when you were 15 or 16 and maybe you were proud or ashamed, but you don't
00:37:42.860 really remember them now. You're 50 and you're like, yeah, I kind of remember that. She never
00:37:50.040 forgot it. I told you last week, next week, I want to be a better man. And I think that's what I mean
00:38:10.400 by that is i don't want it up on facebook or tiktok or anywhere else i don't i want it to be
00:38:23.100 the thing that only one person sees and maybe i don't even understand maybe maybe i've made an
00:38:30.660 impact in somebody's life today maybe you're going to make an impact in somebody's life today
00:38:34.760 that they will hold on to for a long time imagine how that story could have ended
00:38:39.080 imagine the shame or the hatred that she would have had her whole life because no one stopped
00:38:50.080 they cut her coat off of her shame gone home what that meant to her that one kid who didn't know her
00:39:03.320 didn't ask for anything. Gave her the jacket and never asked even for the jacket back.
00:39:13.200 That's a real man. And if you happen to be young and you don't know how to become a real man,
00:39:20.240 that's it. Do that. Do that. You see somebody suffering, help them in any way you can,
00:39:26.860 and then just leave don't post about it don't do anything just leave
00:39:32.840 you have no idea the impact you'll make on people none all right more in a minute
00:39:40.880 this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes
00:39:49.960 let me play this from van jones he said this over the weekend now it can be told now it can be told
00:40:02.340 how did we win the narrative on affordability with the just these nice little democrats out
00:40:08.080 there running for office and going to no uh the republicans never figured out what we were doing
00:40:13.360 there's something called the american stop stop stop this is why i've never trusted this man
00:40:17.600 never trusted him
00:40:20.420 and and i will tell you we have had several conversations off air he's wanted me on his show
00:40:28.600 we've talked about having him on my show and every time we get down to it i'm like nope i don't trust
00:40:34.220 him i just don't trust him and my producers have got we've gone back and forth a hundred ricky a
00:40:41.780 hundred times we've gone back and forth on this no the answer is no permanently no why because
00:40:48.560 look at this just when you think he's reasonable what does he say now it can be told now it can be
00:40:55.480 were we just doing this no they never figured out the guy is an operative period nothing has changed
00:41:02.940 he's saying this now with glee and a smile on his face after the democratic socialists win
00:41:10.720 okay so what do they do go ahead and pick it up again
00:41:14.960 tens of thousands of online humans not bots coordinated to make the affordability message
00:41:23.180 a winning message online 32.5 million uh people hit on instagram every day 88.8
00:41:33.220 88.8 million hit on Twitter every single day, and 185 million Facebook hits every single
00:41:42.540 day, and they never figured it out.
00:41:44.540 The Republicans could not understand.
00:41:46.700 It wasn't bots.
00:41:47.620 It was actual human beings.
00:41:48.880 The most effective online organizing campaign called the American Accountability Network
00:41:53.100 flew under the radar screen, never been told before.
00:41:54.880 And they were talking about the issue, or they were saying you need to elect Democrats
00:41:58.980 to deal with this?
00:41:59.800 driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and 0.87
00:42:05.920 Republicans on a negative. They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore
00:42:10.220 because we figured out how to get around all that. So it's not just all the door knocking
00:42:15.540 that was done, which is amazing. It's not just our amazing candidate quality. We had something
00:42:19.540 called the American Accountability Network. Don't get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal
00:42:24.080 this. They never figured it out. And that network is going to continue to push for kitchen table
00:42:29.720 issues and hold our democratic lawmakers accountable so what is he saying here honestly
00:42:33.660 what is he saying here we had a secret weapon we conned the american people it was very well
00:42:43.100 funded and we found out a way to con the american people i just gave you the stats let me give them
00:42:48.100 to you again 165 000 new jobs just announced day after election poverty rate all-time low
00:42:55.060 10.5 cap per capita income is at 87 000 a new american record gdp revised to 3.4 atlanta fed
00:43:04.040 said it'll be at five by the end of the year gas prices were somewhere between 395 and 405
00:43:12.000 last election under biden on election day was 406 what's the difference they conned you
00:43:19.960 they conned you that's the reality it's one thing to say we had an organization that was
00:43:28.480 out there every day talking about the record talking about the facts no no no they were 1.00
00:43:34.040 conning you at what point do the american people realize you're a hapless useful idiot 1.00
00:43:44.360 At what point do you realize that? 1.00
