The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ 4⧸6⧸26

00:00:00.200 What a broadcast today. I'm going to give you the short version here. This is the edited version.

00:00:05.660 You can find the full version at glenbeck.com slash torch.

00:00:08.940 But the president had an Easter message that didn't feel like, here comes Peter Cottontail.

00:00:15.280 It was a little frightening regarding the Hormuz Strait.

00:00:20.000 What does it mean to you? I break it all down.

00:00:23.000 Also, Victor Glover, he is an amazing astronaut.

00:00:26.220 You know, he's the first black man in space.

00:00:28.420 He doesn't even want that to be.

00:00:30.540 He wants this to be about humanity, but he took it into a different place.

00:00:34.820 His Easter message was incredible.

00:00:37.080 And who wins with lies?

00:00:41.460 Who wins with lies?

00:00:42.960 All this and so much more on today's podcast.

00:00:45.460 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:00:59.680 all right so i want to talk to you about victor glover because i think this guy is absolutely

00:01:08.400 amazing he is the pilot of artemis 2 and yesterday there was a message from him in space and i want

00:01:16.020 you to hear the whole message listen to this as we are so far from earth and looking back at you

00:01:22.240 know the beauty of creation i think that for me one of the really important personal perspectives

00:01:28.460 that i have up here is i can really see earth as one thing and you know when i read the bible and

00:01:33.640 I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us who were created it's you know you

00:01:39.360 you have this amazing place this spaceship you guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship

00:01:44.040 really far from earth but you're on a spaceship called earth that was created to give us a place

00:01:50.440 to live in the universe in the cosmos maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what

00:01:56.100 we're doing is special but we're the same distance from you and I'm trying to tell you just trust me

00:02:00.280 you are special in all of this emptiness this is a whole bunch of nothing this thing we call the

00:02:05.660 universe you have this oasis this beautiful place that we get to exist together i think as we go

00:02:12.560 into easter sunday thinking about you know all the cultures all around the world whether you

00:02:16.660 celebrate it or not whether you believe in god or not this is an opportunity for us to remember

00:02:21.700 where we are who we are and that we are the same thing and that we got to get through this together

00:02:27.040 amazing amazing now remember this is the same man who went viral last week

00:02:34.060 for saying that he was yes proud to be the first black man going around the moon but

00:02:38.020 i don't want you to think of that i don't i don't want to be known for that

00:02:41.620 so i don't want this to be about race he said quote this needs to be about human history it's

00:02:47.820 not the story it's a story of humanity not black history not women's history but human history oh

00:02:56.440 my gosh how long have we been pining for somebody to say that right now everything in our world

00:03:03.080 is trying to shrink all of these stories break it apart divide it turn it into smaller and

00:03:09.440 smaller pieces until all we can see is us me myself and i but then you get 240 000 miles away

00:03:20.300 and suddenly none of that holds from that distance you can't see red states and blue states

00:03:26.340 you barely see countries there's no trending outrage no cultural tribes it's just a blue

00:03:34.440 marble hanging in the black sky and if you're honest and you really look at it

00:03:41.080 there's no political argument there you see a miracle

00:03:46.720 Glover just said when you look back at earth from space that's what you feel and he would know

00:03:55.500 I wish I knew it like that.

00:03:58.940 This is a man who has spent six months on the International Space Station.

00:04:04.200 On the International Space Station, he took communion every single week, every Sunday, in space.

00:04:10.060 Think of that.

00:04:11.300 Floating above the world, circling it every 90 minutes, watching sunrises and sunsets stack up like seconds.

00:04:18.420 and choosing every week to stop and remember something eternal.

00:04:26.000 What a story.

00:04:29.180 He said something else there, too.

00:04:30.800 He said, we've all heard the phrase, there are no atheists in a foxhole.

00:04:35.620 He said, there aren't any atheists at the top of a rocket either.

00:04:40.220 Because when you see creation like he's seeing it now,

00:04:43.140 when you see the scale, the precision, the beauty,

00:04:48.420 There's no guesswork in any of this.

00:04:50.960 It's math.

00:04:52.180 The whole thing is math.

00:04:54.600 You don't feel bigger.

00:04:56.340 You feel smaller.

00:04:58.840 And somehow or another, more connected at the same time.

00:05:06.500 I think that's the part that we have lost if you live in a big city.

00:05:10.160 I remember living in New York.

00:05:11.460 And the first time I went out to the mountains with my family.

00:05:17.600 and we sat around a campfire.

00:05:19.560 We did what everybody does,

00:05:21.320 what cavemen used to do, I'm sure.

00:05:23.680 Sit around and say,

00:05:25.400 what is up there?

00:05:28.640 I mean, look at the vastness of this.

00:05:31.380 We are super small in the grand scheme of things

00:05:34.060 and it puts the world into perspective.

00:05:37.920 When we stop looking up,

00:05:39.540 we start looking in.

00:05:42.140 And when everything turns inward,

00:05:43.880 our problems, our identity,

00:05:45.600 our grievances, our egos,

00:05:47.180 everything it becomes the entire universe to us our own little gravity well and you get stuck there

00:05:54.920 and you just begin orbiting yourself and your problems but space if we allow it has a way of

00:06:01.720 breaking that it forces perspective imagine being in that capsule and looking and seeing

00:06:09.340 the side of the moon that no man has ever seen completely not even in pictures we have never

00:06:15.540 seen it. They are seeing something no human eye has ever gazed on, and most of the world is yawning.

00:06:25.480 But if we can take that one moment and really imagine it for ourselves, it reminds you,

00:06:32.200 you are part of something huge, and you're part of something. You're not the center

00:06:37.080 of everything. You're part of something. And perhaps if we let it, that's why this

00:06:44.520 mission matters right now, not because of the rockets or technology or what SpaceX is

00:06:50.560 going to do or anything else.

00:06:52.020 It's just the simple reminder, look up again, look up, look up, not just at the stars, but

00:07:00.020 look up who made them.

00:07:02.400 the book of Romans says

00:07:09.640 for since the creation of the world

00:07:12.620 God's invisible attributes

00:07:15.780 have been clearly seen

00:07:18.760 being understood

00:07:21.320 by what has been made

00:07:23.440 in other words

00:07:24.180 you don't need a rocket to find him

00:07:27.440 you don't need to go to space

00:07:29.120 it's all right here

00:07:31.400 But we get so lost.

00:07:33.160 But it's all right here in the order, in the design, in the mathematics.

00:07:41.380 In the moments we usually rush past, I made a promise to myself just recently.

00:07:47.940 I am not going to be the first one that stops hugging.

00:07:52.080 Do you know in Disney, if you're a princess or a character, you're not allowed to stop hugging before the child does.

00:08:01.400 if that child hangs on to you for 20 minutes and is hugging you,

00:08:07.280 you hug them for 20 minutes.

00:08:08.940 You are not allowed to break the hug first.

00:08:12.400 And I thought that spoke volumes.

00:08:15.300 They know psychologically,

00:08:16.720 this is all,

00:08:17.260 that's all business.

00:08:17.920 They know psychologically what that means to the kid.

00:08:20.860 And I decided when I heard that I am not going to be the first to break a hug.

00:08:25.160 And my son is a good hugger.

00:08:26.560 And he came home for Easter and I hugged him and I thought we were going to be

00:08:29.800 there all day.

00:08:31.400 but we didn't rush past that moment, and it was nice.

00:08:37.780 It was special.

00:08:41.960 Victor Glover didn't find God for the first time in orbit.

00:08:47.220 He found him the same place that you and I can,

00:08:50.040 at home with his family, in the ordinary.

00:08:54.020 Space didn't give him faith.

00:08:57.160 Space gives him perspective.

00:09:01.400 Is it perhaps what Easter is really all about?

00:09:06.300 Not escaping the world, but seeing it clearly.

00:09:15.620 So, right now, as he's looking down on us,

00:09:19.220 maybe we should do something we haven't done in a while.

00:09:23.860 Look up.

00:09:27.680 Look up with humility and gratitude.

00:09:30.020 and the understanding that we are all part of a story that is much, much, much bigger than

00:09:36.880 ourselves. Not black history, not white history, not men history, female history, 0.67

00:09:43.180 not political history, human history. And it is still being written today.

00:09:51.600 I don't know about you, but with all the problems in the world,

00:09:54.760 we are so blessed to live at this time we are seeing history written in so many different

00:10:01.340 good and bad we are seeing human history written in gigantic bold capital letters

00:10:09.620 letters that you could eventually we will see it from space

00:10:14.620 the story of humankind and we're writing it and part of me says when i look at the bad stuff

00:10:25.780 it's going to be interesting to see what that story says another part says i know humans

00:10:31.640 i know americans especially we eventually get it right it's going to be exciting

00:10:37.340 to see what and how we write in this next chapter

00:10:44.540 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:10:51.620 somewhere over the isfahan province over the weekend an american f-15e fighter one of these

00:11:09.580 Jets doesn't just fall out of the sky, it's hunted down and gravity does all of the work.

00:11:16.600 Two men punched out into the night.

00:11:20.080 Two parachutes open over enemy territory.

00:11:23.120 One was found and rescued right away.

00:11:26.260 The other disappeared.

00:11:29.500 He was wounded.

00:11:30.860 He was alone and he was hunted.

00:11:33.460 his body hit the earth hard enough to remind him that he's still alive but not much more

00:11:40.900 sprained an ankle maybe worse no time to check he has got to get on the move

00:11:47.040 in war

00:11:50.380 the clock doesn't start when you land it starts when someone sees you land and somewhere in war

00:12:00.780 someone always sees

00:12:03.280 so he's got to move

00:12:05.880 he moves up

00:12:09.000 way up into the mountains

00:12:11.420 7,000 feet of rock and silence

00:12:15.240 and nowhere to hide

00:12:17.100 so he has to hide in plain sight

00:12:20.200 he can't trust the radio

00:12:23.380 he can't trust that anybody is coming for him

00:12:27.980 and find him

00:12:28.640 all he can do is trust the math

00:12:31.580 how long can I

00:12:33.720 stay ahead of the men

00:12:35.360 coming for me before the good

00:12:37.640 guys come because I know the good guys are coming

00:12:39.660 but so are the bad guys

00:12:41.340 and they're not just soldiers they're bounty hunters

00:12:43.720 these are not people

00:12:45.560 who are in uniform

00:12:46.580 these are people that just want the money

00:12:48.780 a captured American is

00:12:51.320 a big prize

00:12:54.540 a very very big prize

00:12:57.220 so he goes up up the mountain and he finds a break in the rock barely wide enough for him

00:13:07.880 to breathe and he is jammed for 36 hours he stops being a man and he becomes part of that rock part

00:13:17.180 of that terrain no movement no sound no second chances because if they find him

00:13:23.000 it will not be good

00:13:27.160 there's only a video

00:13:31.260 a thousand miles away

00:13:33.100 something flickers

00:13:38.320 it's a signal

00:13:42.140 weak, intermittent

00:13:43.440 but real

00:13:44.540 it's a beacon

00:13:45.560 you don't run

00:13:49.140 to the signal

00:13:50.100 if you're in his situation

00:13:51.500 I understand

00:13:52.580 At least not immediately, because in a war like this, the signal might not be friendly.

00:14:01.020 It might be waiting for you.

00:14:05.480 So, the United States did something that we always do in war, everybody always does.

00:14:13.840 It lies.

00:14:15.640 The Central Intelligence Agency began pushing out noise into the system, whispers, signals,

00:14:20.840 digital breadcrumbs, telling everybody listening that we've discovered the airman and he's already

00:14:26.520 been recovered. The story is over. Nothing left to hunt. A ghost rescue, if you will. Fiction.

00:14:35.520 It was designed to keep this guy hidden in the rock until we could find him.

00:14:41.220 At the same time, a battlefield is closing in around him. Communications are jammed,

00:14:48.840 roads are disrupted some sources say that it was the common iranian that were disrupting the roads

00:14:56.540 trying to keep people off of that mountain one way or another whoever was doing what eyes were

00:15:02.880 diverted and everybody was looking in a wrong direction this wasn't just about a rescue this

00:15:07.340 was about control and shaping a reality so one guy could slip through it then night falls

00:15:14.660 and with it the part of the story that never makes the headline

00:15:18.860 nearly 100 special operations

00:15:22.960 forces trained disciplined very well aware

00:15:26.960 of the odds go in they go in

00:15:31.060 quietly deliberate across a sovereign border that

00:15:34.880 does not welcome them and they begin to climb the same mountain

00:15:38.840 step by step they close in the distance

00:15:42.620 with a man they can't see

00:15:44.760 but a man they've already decided

00:15:48.000 they are not going to leave behind.

00:15:54.780 The middle of the night they find him

00:15:56.340 alive.

00:16:04.060 This is where we always think the story ends.

00:16:06.580 You know, once you find the man,

00:16:07.660 the hard part is over, but it's not.

00:16:10.240 It never is.

00:16:12.620 We had planes on the ground.

00:16:14.120 We had two MC-130 aircraft.

00:16:16.820 That's their lifeline.

00:16:19.300 They fail.

00:16:21.800 Mechanical.

00:16:23.180 On the ground.

00:16:24.920 Inside Iran.

00:16:26.400 Does any of this bring back memories of Jimmy Carter?

00:16:30.860 Understand the weight of all of that.

00:16:33.400 A hundred of America's best suddenly not a rescue team,

00:16:37.080 but now a target waiting for rescue themselves.

00:16:41.060 And daylight is coming.

00:16:42.620 Enemy forces are now adjusting.

00:16:44.660 There is no easy exit.

00:16:46.100 There is no margin of error.

00:16:47.740 This is the moment that history turns on.

00:16:54.440 Have to make a decision.

00:16:56.720 Somebody has to make a decision.

00:17:00.540 Somebody has to make that decision who understands what failure looks like.

00:17:05.980 And that decision is made.

00:17:08.040 And they choose risk anyway.

00:17:10.920 Send in more aircraft.

00:17:12.620 again more aircraft go in in contested airspace in the middle of the night a hundred of our

00:17:21.100 soldiers our special operators they're on the ground rescuing one guy send in more aircraft

00:17:28.860 and then destroy the aircraft we can't leave a man behind but we also

00:17:36.780 can't leave aircraft.

00:17:39.400 And for a few men,

00:17:40.600 as those aircraft are coming in,

00:17:43.520 101 wait, no movement, no guarantees,

00:17:46.540 just a quiet agreement

00:17:47.460 that all of them have already made

00:17:49.320 if this goes bad.

00:17:56.580 We go bad together.

00:18:02.980 One official said, 0.98

00:18:04.340 if there was a holy crap moment that was it he's right that was the edge that was the razor

00:18:13.340 and then again was precision the american military smaller aircraft lower faster come in pieces and

00:18:24.340 they leave in waves and before they go they erase all the footprints they destroy the aircraft the

00:18:29.820 Helicopters that were there on the desert burned.

00:18:32.900 Nothing left that can be studied, used, or turned.

00:18:37.100 Because in this war, what you leave behind will fight you tomorrow.

00:18:42.880 We know that because of Afghanistan. 0.99

00:18:47.560 And above all of it, while this is going on, no victory parades, no immediate leaks, nothing.

00:18:54.560 No chest pounding.

00:18:56.360 So quiet it feels like nothing happened.

00:18:59.820 until it's all over and our one man is out alive.

00:19:11.960 And then, and only then after the risk is passed,

00:19:14.520 does the president say what can be said?

00:19:16.420 This was one of the most daring search and rescue operations in U.S. history.

00:19:22.460 And it was.

00:19:24.360 But if that's all you take from this, you've missed it.

00:19:29.820 because this wasn't clean, it never is.

00:19:34.380 Aircraft were hit, helicopters took fire,

00:19:37.940 another jet went down, 13 Americans already gone,

00:19:41.460 hundreds wounded, and in Iran.

00:19:44.500 They're still there, they're still capable,

00:19:46.680 they're still calculating, they're still watching.

00:19:51.420 So what do we call this, a victory?

00:19:54.420 Yeah.

00:19:56.220 A warning? Also yes.

00:19:59.820 This is modern war, not lines on a map, but a single human being bleeding, hiding, waiting while a nation bends itself to bring him home,

00:20:12.980 and others walking into the dark fully aware they may not walk back out.

00:20:20.500 This is the line.

00:20:21.840 This is the line between chaos and order, between abandoning somebody and refusing to.

00:20:37.300 If you get anything from this story, you should get that.

00:20:43.640 Boy, you change presidents, you change whoever is running the Pentagon.

00:20:48.060 And it's easy to go back to what took us centuries to become, an honorable military that never, ever leaves one man behind.

00:21:01.360 That's the line, and for one night, on a mountain, on the side of a mountain in Iran, in between two rocks, we held that line.

00:21:12.740 president trump tweeted something this weekend on easter mind you and i'm going to quote

00:21:20.720 tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in iran there will be

00:21:28.940 nothing like it exclamation exclamation exclamation open open and he says the whole 1.00

00:21:35.460 thing, the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll live in hell. Just watch. Praise be to 1.00

00:21:43.480 Allah, President Donald J. Trump. Now, there are several ways to look. There are several ways to

00:21:50.480 look at this, okay? Oh, dear God, the president's gone insane. Oh my, a man who has never had a 0.98

00:21:59.860 drop of alcohol in his life somehow or another on Easter decided to drink or he's doing something

00:22:07.900 else now I'm not claiming to know what exactly that tweet is all about but I'd like to I'd like

00:22:17.040 to tender a guess here this sounds like a man who is trying to compress time okay a deadline

00:22:25.520 He named targets, power plants, bridges, infrastructure.

00:22:29.720 Dems, of course, are screaming for the 25th Amendment because they think he lost his mind.

00:22:33.540 And that is an important subcategory of this story.

00:22:36.220 I'll get to it here in a second.

00:22:37.620 But let's assume that this is intentional.

00:22:40.180 He didn't lose his mind, OK?

00:22:41.760 Because Donald Trump is not careless.

00:22:43.640 Whatever you think, when it comes to war, he takes it very seriously.

00:22:48.180 To the leadership in Tehran, especially the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard,

00:22:53.220 um the tone is not the headline the clock and the specific bombing targets are that's the headline

00:23:04.560 because they have to ask themselves a simple question right now is this guy serious

00:23:10.940 it is this the last warning uh or is this the first move we don't know and i have always said

00:23:22.100 that I've wanted our enemies

00:23:26.080 to always look at our president

00:23:29.400 and go,

00:23:31.340 would he do that?

00:23:34.760 And them not know.

00:23:36.240 It's kind of this,

00:23:37.560 do you remember this from the movie Dirty Harry?

00:23:39.780 It's like this.

00:23:40.620 I know what you're thinking.

00:23:42.880 Did he fire six shots or only five?

00:23:46.540 Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement,

00:23:48.520 I've kind of lost track myself.

00:23:49.940 but ian this is a 44 magnum the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head 0.92

00:23:55.180 clean off you've got to ask yourself one question do i feel lucky well do you punk 0.99

00:24:02.080 that is exactly what the president did do you feel lucky well do you punk now would dirty harry 0.67

00:24:11.340 have pulled the trigger did he have what what how did that scene end dirty harry this the the 0.91

00:24:19.480 secret to that character is he's just crazy enough to do it and you don't know so that's

00:24:28.040 what they're doing they've seen threats before they've survived how many presidents they are

00:24:33.860 now asking themselves wait a minute is this backed by strike packages uh what is the navy positioning

00:24:39.040 what are the quiet messages we're getting from behind the scenes remember this is a very dangerous

00:24:45.780 territory because I've been telling you over the last year or so that wars, especially world wars,

00:24:51.380 are all started by a simple miscalculation. If they believe this is a bluff or pressure just

00:25:01.320 for negotiation, like all the other presidents, they just might test it. And then what does the

00:25:08.280 president do? If they believe it's real, what they're going to do is they're going to look

00:25:14.000 for the smallest possible concession to avoid a strike without appearing weak.

00:25:18.060 They're going to be like, hey, let's try to bleed some time here.

00:25:21.000 This is the razor's edge we're on right now.

00:25:23.640 Now, there is a third option, and I want to come back to the 25th Amendment. 0.61

00:25:27.000 There is the third option.

00:25:28.020 They may think that our Congress and our people do not have the stomach for any of this,

00:25:35.840 and so they'll just wait it out.

00:25:37.840 this is honestly this is going to be the big story of 28 29 if donald trump can

00:25:46.980 can be replaced by someone else who understands this method of maga and everything else if he

00:25:55.680 if jd vance or marco ruby or somebody like that win and we go down this same path you are going

00:26:03.540 to see those people who are just digging in right now begin to slip away because i think almost the

00:26:09.900 entire world is thinking there's only two and a half more years left we can outlast him we can

00:26:14.080 outlast him we can outlast him that's what's happening with nato that's what's happening

00:26:17.940 uh with europe it's happening uh with russia it's uh it's happening with uh those people in

00:26:25.060 in the united states of america who have been playing fast and loose with our money and

00:26:30.540 corruption and everything else. We just have to wait him out only two and a half more years.

00:26:35.880 So you're going to see things change dramatically in two and a half years. You're going to see a

00:26:42.860 gigantic swing back the other way. If we lose this next election, if we win the next election,

00:26:51.120 things are going to change. And you're going to see these people go, oh crap, I can't last 0.95

00:26:56.220 another four years or a possible another eight years. And that's when this is why I believe we 0.57

00:27:01.900 need 12 years to totally wipe this thing out. We've got now two and a half years or two years

00:27:06.360 almost in our in our hip pocket. We need about 12. We need just another 10 more and we can we

00:27:13.880 can wipe this out. Now, that's what they're thinking. Is he serious? Is he not? But what

00:27:21.320 about the Iranian people that's really important that we look at what are the Iranian people taking 0.99

00:27:28.140 from this quite honestly uh crazy ass tweet from the president of the United States 0.96

00:27:34.980 is he playing crazy strategically I believe so but what are they thinking 0.95

00:27:41.160 how you feeling today a little tired rundown maybe somewhere you know between getting out

00:27:47.440 of bed and getting into the shower you just could have turned it around and just said I'm going right

00:29:33.620 pre-born understands that so what is the best way to fight well the best way to fight is first with

00:29:39.060 just neutral information just truth that's why they provide ultrasounds so an expecting mom can 1.00

00:29:46.560 see the baby growing inside of her she knows it's not just a clump of cells it's a heartbeat and she

00:29:51.300 can experience something that it changes how she sees everything but then she still feels trapped

00:29:58.020 most mothers are like i can't afford this i don't have the help i need well that's where pre-born

00:30:03.240 comes in again after the free ultrasound they offer support for up to two years after the child

00:30:08.500 is born, as well as encouragement and love, the kind of care that helps her know she's

00:30:13.960 not alone in that monument, and maybe most importantly, they share the love and the message

00:30:18.920 of the gospel.

00:30:22.120 That's eternal truth.

00:30:23.540 That's how to change people's hearts and minds.

00:31:53.860 work all right let me just go through some of the the lies that i'm seeing online right now and they

00:32:00.980 are very well crafted one we're sending a hundred thousand troops into iran we're not sending a

00:32:07.760 hundred thousand troops into iran that's not happening but if you look at that if you look

00:32:13.520 on social media you will find that trump was at walter reed this weekend something seriously

00:32:19.460 seriously wrong he might be catching what benjamin netanyahu has which is death um 0.61

00:32:26.820 the latest um coming out today is trump is crazy and he's going to nuke iran tomorrow

00:32:34.720 okay how about this one artemis is not in space really of course we have the super classics of

00:32:45.360 Israel is responsible for Charlie Kirk's death but now the latest is that Israel employed and 0.84

00:32:53.320 I'm not making this up somebody else did um employing the Mormon mafia to do it now being 1.00

00:33:02.720 a member of the church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints I've not heard of the Mormon mafia I mean 1.00

00:33:09.320 unless it's there to you know you know change people's minds through the force of you know

00:33:15.540 eating jello with carrots in it or you know having funeral potatoes i don't know how that is but

00:33:21.080 the mormon mafia apparently is the one that killed charlie kirk that's the latest they seem to be 0.73

00:33:26.860 everywhere online you look at just just go through x just as a test and just look at the comments of

00:33:33.280 even the most inane stories it is all division and hatred and i mean like i've never seen it before

00:33:40.000 and we are just slowly sliding into it as if nothing has changed now most of this stuff it's

00:33:48.660 coming out in studies that the most viral the most divisive especially on things like war and

00:33:54.360 our politics all originating from foreign sources and bots but we just shrug that off like oh well

00:34:01.260 and yet we argue about what's real and what's not online i saw a story this weekend and i showed it

00:34:08.680 to my wife and i'm like this can't be true right it said that prince william and princess catherine

00:34:15.160 or whatever her name is kate yeah whatever um that they're separating and they're living separate

00:34:20.700 lives they're headed for divorce they've already you know you know split up all of the you know

00:34:26.040 castles or whatever and my first reaction was not outrage it wasn't even skepticism because i just

00:34:34.400 i just didn't think who would make that up you know what i mean my first reaction was sadness

00:34:39.500 i'm like oh you've got to be kidding me almost an automatic acceptance that something stable has

00:34:49.020 just broken and then i find out it's not true i mean because i start looking into it i think i

00:34:57.340 contacted ricky and i'm like ricky is this true at all total fabrication another rumor another

00:35:03.220 ghost story dressed up as news but it was really well done really well done so my question was over

00:35:10.800 the weekend that i kept kicking around all weekend was who would do that who makes that up why would

00:35:18.380 you make that up years ago i said that there is a phase civilizations enter before real collapse

00:35:27.600 before war before economic failure and i called it the trust implosion or trust 0.88

00:35:33.600 so i want the um anatomy of that story what what was that because it's such a ridiculous 1.00

00:35:42.320 stupid story. Why would you do that? Well, first, it targets a symbol of continuity, 1.00

00:35:50.340 stability, tradition. Even that is collapsing. Now, you could make a real case that it's

00:35:58.720 collapsing because, oh, I don't know, the defender of the faith, King Charles, is a lunatic 0.96

00:36:04.820 and didn't even issue an Easter message and instead is busy with Islam. I mean, 1.00

00:36:11.500 he's the defender of the faith you can make that case and that's real no no no this one was

00:36:17.800 emotionally loaded and it was believable the way it was done spreads fast verifies very slowly and

00:36:24.700 most importantly it leaves something behind even after it's disproven doubt it leaves doubt

00:36:33.900 now let me turn to the war with iran this weekend rising tensions again centered around the strait

00:36:41.420 of Hormuz. A narrow strip of water quietly determines the price of your gasoline, your

00:36:46.240 groceries, our future, all of that. But here's the thing. Americans aren't just debating what's

00:36:51.840 happening. We're now debating whether or not we can trust what we're being told is happening.

00:36:59.560 And it's not just, you know, the government's doing propaganda. No, no, you don't even know

00:37:03.420 where this is coming from. One side says this, we have to go in. One side says we were tricked

00:37:08.920 to go in. Another side says the whole thing was a lie. Another side says, you know, America is bad

00:37:15.660 and it's all of these, it's crazy. And I don't know about you, but the more I read, the fewer

00:37:24.220 and fewer of them that I read, I believe that any of the people that are writing this are acting in

00:37:31.320 good faith. People are not making mistakes. This is intentional. Look at Europe. Immigration 1.00

00:37:37.020 intentions, protests, government saying one thing publicly, doing another privately. Public knows

00:37:42.760 it. Not because they trust official statements, but because they see contradictions that no longer

00:37:49.080 line up. So trust erodes. Look at your own life. Inflation is cooling. Is it? My grocery bill is

00:37:57.900 not cooling. Insurance isn't cooling. Cost of a house isn't cooling. Everything I see in my

00:38:05.400 life tells a different story. So you're not just questioning the numbers, you start to question

00:38:11.500 who's giving you the numbers and why they're doing this. And then comes the accelerant,

00:38:17.140 the environment that we live in. AI-generated content, conflicting narratives, entirely

00:38:23.640 different versions of the same reality, each presented with absolute certainty and done in

00:38:30.440 such a way that, you know, if you're my age, you just don't think you could fake because it's just

00:38:34.860 too good it's too elaborate i told stew once back in the 1990s i said there's going to come a time

00:38:43.920 before 2030 where you will not be able to believe your eyes or ears and when that happens all bets

00:38:49.760 are off we're there gang you know there was a time when we argued interpretation but now we're not

00:38:56.240 even getting to interpretation we're getting to is that story even real

00:39:00.120 so who's doing it

00:39:04.440 who benefits

00:39:08.040 this one i can usually say well that would benefit this group or this group but who creates a lie

00:39:15.100 about the royal family because it seems ridiculous now maybe not in england but over here it seems

00:39:21.400 pretty ridiculous i find the answer to this a little uncomfortable because it's not just one 0.56

00:39:27.800 group. There are state actors, countries like Russia and China and God knows who else, 0.66

00:39:34.440 Iran. They understand that you don't have to defeat a military of a nation if you can fracture

00:39:42.160 the country psychologically. Then there are ideological movements that believe chaos is

00:39:49.300 necessary. That's the Twelvers in Iran. That's the Marxists and the communists, 0.99

00:39:54.260 that a system has to be destabilized before it can be replaced.

00:40:00.160 Then there are algorithms that reward outrage over truth

00:40:04.420 because outrage spreads.

00:40:06.280 Truth takes time.

00:40:07.680 It's a little boring sometimes.

00:40:10.060 And then there are just individuals,

00:40:12.860 some of them cynical, some of them broken,

00:40:15.680 some of them, honestly, this is the most frightening, just bored.

00:40:19.880 They've decided watching things burn is its own reward.

00:40:24.260 all of those agents of chaos.

00:40:29.560 Who is the author of chaos?

00:40:34.900 I ask you that because it is so important to realize that

00:40:39.260 when you click on a story and send it,

00:40:42.140 and you don't know if it's true,

00:40:44.140 you are an unknowing agent of chaos.

00:40:50.120 Because it's not just the chaos that is being created.

00:40:53.020 It is the chaos that has become its own ecosystem.

00:40:58.120 And the real damage is not the lie itself.

00:41:01.080 It's what it does to each of us.

00:41:03.780 You read the story, you believe it, you feel it, then you correct it.

00:41:07.920 And then comes the final step.

00:41:11.680 What else isn't true?

00:41:14.160 That's the purpose of all of this.

00:41:16.340 What else isn't true?

00:41:17.660 I can't believe anything.

00:41:18.880 When I saw that, I'm like, I can't believe anything.

00:41:20.920 Who would do this?

00:41:22.320 Who would do this? 1.00

00:41:22.960 about something so stupid why would you lie about that and they're everywhere they're everywhere 1.00

00:41:27.720 about stupid stuff but those agents of chaos know that when enough people reach that point 1.00

00:41:37.200 when suspicion becomes the default setting that's when trust implodes and then what happens 0.99

00:41:46.420 Well, not necessarily immediately, not always dramatically, but always consistently, the society loses.

00:41:59.760 It loses trust in institutions, in its information, and ultimately with one another.

00:42:05.560 You can't believe one another.

00:42:08.140 And what adds to that?

00:42:09.820 We already don't trust one another.

00:42:12.440 We already don't trust our own family members, some of us.

00:42:15.700 we already are hostile to the people that we're around all the day we don't trust people who vote

00:42:21.740 differently than us so they're part of the problem we're all we all have somebody in our life that

00:42:27.540 we feel that way about so then our life our own connections sometimes to our own family is

00:42:36.100 unstable there's no cohesion on anything and in that environment every new event like the ones

00:42:45.600 we saw this weekend, doesn't resolve the tension. It adds pressure. Crap. This is not abstract

00:42:56.360 anymore. This is personal. So what do you do? Well, first thing you do is you slow down. You

00:43:05.780 slow down. If something hits you emotionally really fast, it was designed to. Truth can

00:43:14.460 withstand scrutiny but manipulation depends on speed so slow down second ask a better question

00:43:25.400 not just is this true but who benefits if i believe this who benefits if i spend any time

00:43:32.900 on this because you already know the answer agents of chaos and you don't want to be anywhere near

00:43:40.580 chaos third you have to rebuild the trust where you actually can and you can't i can't rebuild

00:43:49.120 your trust in any of the institutions okay it's not going to happen nationally at least not yet

00:43:53.700 so you think locally friends family community civilizations don't rebuild trust from the top

00:44:01.660 down they rebuild it from the inside out that's also how you destroy it you rot it from the inside

00:44:06.900 out fourth thing you need to do is reduce your own fragility less debt more stability more

00:44:15.600 awareness of where your essentials come from because when systems wobble resilience becomes

00:44:21.560 freedom and this matters because with that you start to demand something different from leadership

00:44:30.840 clarity you know you you you watch what's actually happening you match words with actions

00:44:40.520 you stop managing perception and you start rebuilding the credibility because the american

00:44:45.820 people can handle the hard truth they can what we cannot survive against is this constant

00:44:52.500 contradiction and beyond washington the states community churches they all have a role local

00:44:59.960 governments have to bring decisions closer to the people. Communities must rebuild civic life

00:45:05.280 that isn't just political theater. And churches, especially the churches, must remember who and

00:45:12.020 what they are. That is a place where truth is not negotiated. It's a place where people can

00:45:20.620 disagree without becoming enemies, where moral clarity exists without hatred, and it must always

00:45:27.220 be that way but it starts with tell the truth because when trust collapses in a culture people

00:45:34.660 begin to look for anything solid and if they don't find it there they will find it somewhere else and

00:45:41.780 that is already happening so that story about the royal family it looks small it seems small but it's

00:45:50.280 not i mean that's what that's what bothered me i think so much about i've seen all the big stories

00:45:56.440 But that one seems like such a waste of time.

00:46:02.220 It's a single thread.

00:46:03.780 But if you start pulling on it, you realize, oh my gosh, look at how many threads are already loose.

00:46:11.000 Trust collapse doesn't arrive with one headline.

00:46:14.860 It arrives as a quiet belief, a quiet correction, a lingering question.

00:46:21.500 If I can't believe this, what can I believe?

00:46:23.420 What else is breaking that I can't see?

00:46:33.380 Trust collapse doesn't come with a parade.

00:46:40.480 And it's happening right now.

00:46:43.940 It comes in quietly.

00:46:45.720 It's when you assume you're being misled.

00:46:49.100 You expect institutions to fail.

00:46:52.820 you stop believing that things can be fixed.

00:46:56.500 If we have enough people that reach that point,

00:46:59.880 you know how it ends.

00:47:03.520 And it doesn't end necessarily in war,

00:47:06.140 but conditions where war becomes possible.

00:47:10.860 So I want to urge you to slow down

00:47:13.960 because this is not inevitable,

00:47:17.240 but it is directional.

00:47:20.540 We're going in that direction, and the direction can only be changed the same way it was lost, not from the top down, but from the inside out.

00:47:29.640 One person, you, telling the truth, no matter how unpopular it makes you, and say it with love and respect.

00:47:37.200 Don't try to win.

00:47:38.840 Don't try to win.

00:47:41.000 One family choosing stability.

00:47:43.740 One house, one neighborhood rebuilding trust with the neighbors.

00:47:48.580 it's much slower than collapse

00:47:51.120 but it is the only thing

00:47:53.320 that history has ever shown

00:47:55.040 that stops it

00:47:56.740 start building that in your own family

00:48:01.240 and building that in your own community

00:48:03.500 honestly it's why I

00:48:05.640 have a house

00:48:09.360 and I've spent

00:48:10.140 my summers in a town

00:48:13.260 of 400 people

00:48:14.260 because while we don't all

00:48:17.380 know each other. We don't all agree with each other. We all have the same basic principles

00:48:22.720 and we're all looking out for one another. And it doesn't matter if we agree or disagree.

00:48:29.380 We're all a member of the community and we know what is generally true. Focus on those things.
