00:00:00.000
When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:00:06.880
It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music, and new shared memories.
00:00:17.900
The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.
00:00:25.500
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.
00:00:30.000
all right so best of today there's there we did three hours three different topics you're going
00:00:37.960
to get the best parts of these uh in the um uh in the best of here this podcast uh i talked about
00:00:45.200
alexander dugan again because there's some new news on what's happening with candace owens uh
00:00:49.600
today also kind of had a you know back and forth with glenn greenwald where i got a lot of heat
00:00:54.920
from people who like me about what I was saying, we needed to talk about that. Also, a deep dive
00:01:01.360
on data centers. We'll give you the best of, but if you really are concerned about data centers,
00:01:05.280
I want you to hear me out because there's a lot to talk about. Just the energy problem
00:01:09.140
with data centers that you need to hear. And a couple that aborted their Down syndrome, maybe.
00:01:24.920
you're listening to the best of the blend back program
0.94
00:01:36.660
so continuing our conversation here uh quickly about candace owens um and and what she's doing
00:01:46.580
over in russia and the really the story is not about candace owens um but it is she is proving
00:01:51.740
everything that i'm saying is right um ricky just got a notification uh breaking news that uh
00:02:00.140
russian media is now calling candace owens what exactly i want to get the quote the bridge the
00:02:07.960
bridge bridge to the usa between that's right and don't think of that as the russian people think
00:02:15.740
of that as putin and dugan remember dugan is the guy who just said if it were up to him he would
00:02:23.560
give every enemy of ours nuclear weapons to vaporize the united states he is not our friend
00:02:31.020
he is not our friend so the latest is putin himself has just asked candace owens to speak
00:02:40.680
today um at this convention so she's just gotten bumped up another level and she's thrilled about
00:02:47.440
it okay you think about whatever whatever you want but i just i'm i have to speak to those who say
00:02:55.280
yes but but dugan and putin have it right about our culture our culture is evil blah blah blah
00:03:02.080
i want you to think about the doctor and i just gave you two examples
00:03:06.200
one somebody who diagnosed the the pain and suffering that mental illness was causing in
00:03:12.540
the united states and said look and everybody was like they're right these institutions are
00:03:17.100
horrible and these people are suffering horribly and they're tearing themselves apart blah blah
00:03:21.160
blah and so the doctor who was i i think he did i say he got a nobel prize for um a prize-winning
00:03:28.720
doctor says, I have the solution. Ice pick to the eye. That's called a lobotomy. You can diagnose
00:03:36.700
something and say, this is the problem and be right. But that doesn't mean your solution is
00:03:42.220
right. Then I told you about the temperance movement. Alcoholism, trust me, I'm an alcoholic.
00:03:48.780
I know how destructive it can be. My mother committed suicide. She was an alcoholic.
00:03:52.880
I get it. It destroys everything. It's horrible, destroys families. That's what the temperance
00:03:58.180
movement said they diagnosed the problem correctly people get out of control and it destroys families
00:04:04.880
but then they put in a constitutional amendment and that started all kinds of stuff including
00:04:11.000
what i just told you and look it up yourself most people don't know it the united states government
00:04:15.080
started poisoning alcohol with bootleggers yeah well we'll show them how dangerous it is they
0.58
00:04:21.880
poisoned they killed americans knowingly those people should not been anywhere the cure was
0.70
00:04:29.260
wrong the diagnosis was right let me give you one more 1958 halfway around the world
0.89
00:04:35.880
mao he's in china people are starving and he makes a diagnosis that was correct
00:04:43.380
right down to the single grain he was saying we have a problem with sparrows they're eating the
00:04:49.360
harvest. So a nation of hundreds of millions was mobilized to get rid of all of the sparrows.
00:04:56.640
People banged pots and pans from dawn to dusk. The birds could never land until the sparrows
00:05:01.820
just dropped out of the sky, dead from exhaustion. This is a real story. It worked. The sparrows all
00:05:08.020
died. Then what happened? Then the locusts came. And because the sparrows had been eating the
00:05:13.840
locusts the insects ate everything in the fields bare the famine that followed kills killed tens
00:05:21.380
of million more people more than most wars in human history mal had the diagnosis right
00:05:29.040
the sparrows are the problem but his cure buried a generation
00:05:35.480
okay so what am i i mean i could go on all of these things have one thing in common
00:05:44.720
these people were not cranks they were not obvious monsters a nobel laureate a constitutional
00:05:50.480
amendment uh the a government and the applause of the experts and the cheer of the crowd made
00:05:57.000
the blade come down that's the the real test the real test is okay he's right about the sickness
00:06:06.080
but what happens when he cuts into the body what happens what happens after that first cut
00:06:18.480
true and correct diagnosis earns a man your attention but it doesn't earn him the throat
00:06:29.060
a person who can name your disease perfectly has proven that he can see he has proven nothing about
00:06:36.880
what's in his hand or where that hand will land or whether you'll be able to live what with what's
00:06:42.800
behind that hand so when somebody shows you exactly what's wrong with you your body your
00:06:47.920
country your culture your faith and then in the very same breaths reaches for the scalpel and
00:06:52.740
says lie down stay still i trust me i'm going to cut into you don't be hypnotized about how right
0.50
00:06:58.480
he was about the wound there's another hoop he has to jump through and that's what's happening
00:07:06.220
with dugan people are saying he's but glenn he's got the diagnosis right yes i agree with you now
00:07:13.820
listen and read what he actually says is the solution that's the difference uh let me see
00:07:24.700
let me go to um let me go to jeff in arizona hello jeff welcome hey glenn um i have a suggestion
00:07:35.500
regarding ron desantis because i believe he's a man who can make the diagnosis to use your analogy
00:07:43.660
and perform the operation successfully as he's done in Florida.
00:07:48.820
I want to suggest that Ron DeSantis become the free agent governor
00:07:53.520
and simply move to another state and save another state the way he has done in Florida.
00:08:02.640
I have said this, and I've said it jokingly and seriously to Ron DeSantis,
00:08:09.800
and i'm like listen you are you are so good if you want to run for president run for president
00:08:16.080
if you don't win president go run in another state go save other states strengthen other states
00:08:21.920
and you know he said one time we were talking and he said you know i you know i don't know how
1.00
00:08:27.860
other states would feel about that you know stop with this carpetbagger stuff we have to start
00:08:34.100
looking at our states as needing a great CEO. We need somebody who can get it done, who can
1.00
00:08:42.400
perform and knows how to run the apparatus of the state and get things done. That's Ron DeSantis.
00:08:51.660
And if I'm a state, if I'm California and I'm looking for the next governor, I'm looking for
00:08:57.260
the best CEO, the best technician that can actually get the things done that need to get
00:09:04.140
done. I don't need somebody that I like. I don't need somebody that has lived in my state the whole
00:09:10.200
time. Well, he's not a Texan. He's not a Californian. He just moved here from Florida to
00:09:16.720
Iowa. Do you have anybody as good as him? If you do, go. Go vote for him. But if you don't,
00:09:24.440
why wouldn't you take i i 100 i think he should go on a 50 state tour i think he should do he's
00:09:30.740
going to have to keep him alive for a while uh but i would say that he needs to go and
00:09:35.120
and run for office in another state and when he has termed out there go to another state
00:09:42.420
because you're exactly right jeff exactly right let me go to tammy by the way it's friday your
00:09:48.660
calls are important i want to hear your voice anything i got wrong anything you want to argue
00:09:52.420
with me about anything you think i missed whatever 888-727-BECK today is your day Tammy
00:09:58.440
in Georgia welcome hi Glenn um you were talking about a candidate in New Jersey um and you were
00:10:06.020
talking with somebody you had and i i'm sorry i'm really bad with names but you had okay so am i
00:10:12.300
yeah this guy um was tied to al-qaeda and and terrorist groups and had something to do with
00:10:21.420
9-11. I want to know why these candidates are not being vetted the way I think they should be.
00:10:31.540
And how can we, as a country, let somebody, or even the Congress or Senate, let somebody like that try to go to the Congress or Senate?
00:10:43.080
well because the um this this is a free nation we don't we'd you know the let me give you the
0.68
00:10:52.660
extreme case the mullahs in um iran they're the ones who decide who can run and who can't you
00:10:59.020
never want that you want the people to decide you want just people be able to walk off the street
00:11:03.420
and say i want to run and then it requires then a good decent well-informed public using a honest
00:11:12.820
press to do their own homework on those people and vet them and say, yeah, that guy does not fit.
00:11:21.540
We don't want him representing. And that's just not happening right now. This guy should have
00:11:28.300
been vetted by the people of New Jersey. And he is in one of these elitist districts. It's the 12th
00:11:36.040
district of new jersey um he was he provided testimony for the blind chic um there are
00:11:42.240
reports that he was involved in the planning of the first world trade center he then went in um
00:11:48.600
to where was it bosnia ricky i don't have the information about gaza where he volunteered
00:11:53.920
and served in gaza 2024 he actually served in the u.s military for a time
00:11:59.440
right um and so you know you have to make your own decision but he is somebody that
00:12:04.800
should not get a national security clearance at the very least you can't give him information
00:12:10.540
about our country um but you know if the democrats win in the house and he wins in the house he will
00:12:17.480
be sitting in some of our most crucial things and that's just the way this democracy works that's why
00:12:22.000
you know we are doing it torch um we're trying to um teach american history do we have another
00:12:31.360
episode of the american story coming out today should be nine we sure do insiders already have
00:12:38.420
it everyone else is getting it tomorrow okay so episode nine inside the first presidency power
00:12:45.560
fear and the bill of rights this is perfect because next week we kick off our our education
00:12:50.860
program with the bill of rights um uh so we're telling you the story so you know our story any
00:12:58.200
society that doesn't know their story will lose, will fall apart. It will disintegrate.
00:13:06.340
Humans run on story. If you know a story, if there's a good story that you're following,
1.00
00:13:15.060
you can then understand things. You know how to make decisions because you know the story,
00:13:21.740
where you came from, where you're going, why you were there in the first place,
00:13:25.160
why you set off on this journey if you lose that story there's nothing so the first thing we're
00:13:30.320
doing is restore restoring the american story with the american story it's a podcast uh hour-long
00:13:39.280
episodes there's uh nine of them right now but insiders i think you're going to have all 20 of
00:13:45.180
them here shortly um uh and it takes you through the first you know uh hundred years of america's
00:13:54.360
story. And you'll really understand it in a way you never have. Then we have the Bill of Rights
00:13:58.760
lessons. They'll start next week. These are actual lesson plans that you and your family can give.
00:14:05.860
I mean, I don't care if you're 80. Most likely, if you're like me, I couldn't tell you the first
00:14:12.920
five in the First Amendment. What are the first five rights? What are the five rights in the First
00:14:18.140
Amendment? If you don't know those five rights and you can't defend those five rights and you
00:14:23.700
can't say why each of those five rights are important you you can't defend the country
00:14:28.640
and that is exactly why our civics classes don't exist and why our american history classes are so
00:14:37.140
horrible because if you if you know these things you can defend the country if you don't then we're
00:14:44.700
just like every other place and what difference does it make so you you want people like this
00:14:51.020
not to be in Congress, there's a few obstacles. One, your press. So what do you do? You support
00:14:59.360
people that are telling you the truth. You support and spread the word and you help
00:15:04.800
gain. When you see somebody, and I'm not talking about me at all, you're going on and you see
00:15:11.900
somebody that you are like, this person is telling us the truth every day. You should be on their
00:15:18.280
YouTube page. You should be on their X page. You should be on Instagram. You should like,
00:15:25.560
rate, review every time. You should add comments to them. You should like them. You should retweet
00:15:33.160
them. You have to do that because that changes the algorithm. So you want those voices to bubble
00:15:40.700
up to the top, you have to engage. And that will do more damage to the people telling the truth
00:15:49.560
instead of being against something before something. But you have to understand you
00:15:53.480
have a responsibility. I can provide all the information out there, but if I can't crack
00:15:58.160
that algorithm because you're not participating in it, then my voice goes nowhere. And it's the
00:16:04.380
same with everybody. So like, rate, and review on all platforms. Support them when you can.
00:16:11.980
You could join Daily Wire if that's where you get most of your news
00:16:18.920
But then also, when they are giving you stuff, use it.
00:16:24.940
I've worked eight months on just this Bill of Rights stuff.
00:16:36.640
We begin next week at glenbeck.com slash torch.
00:16:49.300
Let's talk about something that matters more every year.
00:16:52.480
Dads, real dads, the ones who show up, who provide, who protect, who teach their kids right from wrong, even when it's really super hard.
00:17:00.980
So many shows and commercials love turning dads into bumbling jokes, but you know better.
00:17:06.640
They're the bedrock of strong families and a strong nation.
00:17:18.720
Premium hoodies and tees and everyday gear.

When you buy from American Giant, you are supporting American jobs
00:17:36.200
and the self-reliant spirit that built this country, just like your dad.

00:17:49.860
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:01.220
I'm doing a deep dive on the data centers, and I want you to know,
00:18:05.360
my phrase here is I understand the concerns and I validate them and I believe you're accurate in
00:18:12.740
those concerns. You are accurate in your belief that you're going to get screwed. This thing is
0.96
00:18:18.580
going to be built on your backs with your money. That's why it's not effective to say no. It is
00:18:27.360
effective to say, no, unless, and you fill in the unless, unless, unless you're putting more power
00:18:36.400
in to our grid and you're building your own power system for what you take, but for the right to be
00:18:43.960
able to have this big, huge data center in my community, you're going to put 5% more power
00:18:48.440
into us because my electricity is not going up because here's what the, here's what the electrical
00:18:53.300
companies are saying we have to upgrade the grid as it is okay and everybody is tying it to the
00:18:59.440
data center and in a way they're right but in a way they're not right the grid was built decades
00:19:05.840
ago and it was never meant to let it's all aging out okay it was not meant to last longer than it
00:19:12.680
already has and so we have been delaying and delaying and delaying and nobody wants to pay
00:19:17.960
for it. Nobody wants to pay for it. And it is decaying on us. So our power grid is absolutely
00:19:24.220
archaic, but that is the human way and the American way of doing things. We never do it
00:19:30.160
the right time. You know, when we'll think about hardening the grid, you know, when we'll think
00:19:34.360
about putting protection around the generators that we have and the, I can't remember the name
00:19:42.600
the the trans transformers you know when we'll start putting protection around the transformers
00:19:48.260
when al-qaeda takes and comes in and they shoot six of those things around the country and they
00:19:53.320
collapse our grid that's when we'll say we should put protection around those we should have done
00:19:58.060
that a long time ago but we never do those things so we should have upgraded our grid a long time
00:20:03.660
ago but we didn't because you only do it because you're human and you're an american you only do
00:20:09.840
it when it's a crisis, when you absolutely have to. So the powered grid problem with these data
00:20:16.420
centers comes in. America, the builders of America know we have to have these data centers.
00:20:24.760
And so it's a crisis. And so now the power companies are saying, well, we're going to have
00:20:28.320
to upgrade our grid. So they're going to do it. And that's where you're going to get that 14%
00:20:32.020
increase. No, no, no, no, no. Use this to your advantage, cities. Facebook, Tesla, whoever needs
00:20:46.160
these, Google, you need a data center. Microsoft, you need a data center. Here's what you're going
00:20:51.800
to do. You're going to upgrade our grid. You're going to put 5% of the energy you create into our
00:20:57.840
grid. So we're going to not only get a new grid, we're also going to get a reduction in the average
00:21:04.480
citizen's power. And you can build your data center. You don't do that. You don't have a
00:21:09.340
data center. We're not doing it here. And sometimes your bluff will be called. Sometimes it won't be.
00:21:15.780
Sometimes you'll win. But enough of cities do that and stop saying no, but say no, unless you meet
00:21:22.760
these conditions, you're going to start winning. Otherwise, they're going to steamroll you and
00:21:27.760
bulldoze bulldoze you now here's the part that's going to really hack you off as of 2025
00:21:33.800
more than 2 000 gigawatts of proposed energy projects are waiting in interconnection queues
00:21:43.700
across the country 2 000 gigawatts think about this these are projects waiting not producing power
00:21:53.260
waiting. Some of them are waiting just to be connected. Some of these projects are waiting
00:22:00.940
to be built. Some of them maybe shouldn't get built. But the scale of the backlog should tell
00:22:06.780
you something important. The challenge isn't finding energy. It's connecting energy. It's
00:22:12.640
permitting. It's approvals. It's planning regions. It's studies. It's paperwork. Sometimes the
00:22:19.760
hardest part of building a power project is not the engineering. It's just getting past the damn
0.99
00:22:25.980
paperwork. And that's where we have ourselves in trouble every time. We have made it so easy to say
0.99
00:22:33.220
no. We've made it so difficult to say yes. Now, there are reasons to review things. There are
00:22:41.300
reasons for environmental studies and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, okay? Reasons communities need
00:22:46.800
to have a voice must have a voice i'm not arguing for bulldozing people i'm arguing for a system
00:22:52.300
that can still build things in america we can't build things anymore because if everything can
00:22:58.020
be stopped forever then eventually nothing gets built and if nothing gets built the country it
00:23:03.860
doesn't stand still it falls behind nothing is static nothing will be this way unless you're
00:23:10.160
preparing for the future. Remember where we started? We started with data centers and
00:23:16.560
artificial intelligence and power demand. All of that sits on top of one basic question.
00:23:22.060
Can America build enough electricity? That's the question. Not can we invent? Can we innovate?
00:23:30.080
We've proven those things. Can we build? Damn, can we build? Can we connect? Can we move power
00:24:02.280
Permitting delays are not some natural consequence.
00:24:06.140
Transmission bottlenecks aren't a law of nature.
00:24:09.260
All of these things are choices, and choices can change.
00:24:13.760
We built the greatest industrial system on earth.
00:24:23.560
We built dams and pipelines and transmission lines and railroads and highways.
00:24:28.660
And we were the country that built the skyscraper.
00:24:33.900
It's called the skyscraper because they were so massive at the time, it appeared as though they were scraping the very essence of the sky.
00:24:45.200
Do you know how long it took us to build the Empire State Building?
00:25:20.240
Connect the regions that can help each other during emergencies,
00:25:27.300
Make sure the biggest new power users pay not just for the capacity they require,
00:25:33.220
but because of what they're doing to our culture, to our nation, to our world, to our jobs,
00:25:39.440
they might have to pay a premium for that right.
00:25:48.800
You're arguing on how can we build abundance for everyone
00:25:52.220
and not build it on the backs of the average person.
00:25:56.400
In a century where power increasingly means economic power,
00:26:01.040
military power, technological power, national power,
00:26:12.840
My ranch is in the middle of absolutely nowhere,
00:26:19.640
I live in a town of 450 people, and I just love it.
00:26:28.080
They're just good, solid citizens, and I love it.
00:26:35.940
And quite honestly, I don't want to bring the power lines.
00:26:39.760
It cost me a fortune, but I can bring the power.
00:26:43.400
I don't want that because I know what that will do to where I live.
00:26:47.840
I'm like the only one that lives in this canyon.
00:26:50.380
So I don't want to invite a bunch of other people by bringing, you know, electricity into it, because that's the thing that's stopping it.
00:26:59.980
But I've had to generate all my own electricity.
00:27:05.560
Not, and it's coming from me, I have a pretty big imagination, not a big enough imagination.
00:27:12.440
I've built it for, okay, what's it going to take to run the house the way I want to run the house?
00:27:22.840
Before, I wasn't even thinking about putting a studio up here.
00:27:25.080
I got to add a studio because I'll be up there for a few weeks.
00:27:31.360
Then I say, I'm actually going to be here during the summer months
00:27:34.600
where we're using a heavy load for air conditioning and everything
00:27:37.360
because I didn't have air conditioning planned for the house originally.
00:27:39.940
But now if I'm going to live here, I need some air conditioning in the summer months,
00:27:44.160
And I'm going to be broadcasting every day, so I'm going to need more power.
00:27:46.700
every time i make a move i have to upgrade the power if you're smart you you do exactly opposite
00:27:53.580
of what i did you say what are the absolute wildest possibilities that can happen let's build for that
00:28:00.500
that way we don't have to keep in nickel diming i can't tell you how much money i've spent on
00:28:05.740
power generation anybody who says oh you could live off the grid you just get some solar panels
1.00
00:28:10.360
you're a moron you have no idea what it takes to have stable electricity and if we screw around
0.98
00:28:16.940
with our power grid you're going to find out what it's like not to have stable electricity
1.00
00:28:21.720
it's bad it puts you into the stone age immediately believe me i've lived it i know
00:28:30.780
america can still as a country do big hard things if we want to survive we have to think
00:28:39.320
let's dream for way beyond the power grid that we need today for these data centers.
00:28:53.400
Talk about demand, talk about the grid, talked about bottlenecks. All of that leads to one
00:28:58.500
question. If we know we need more power, we know there are projects ready to build it.
00:29:03.760
Why aren't we building faster? Why does everything in this country take so long?
00:29:34.080
not every not every idea should be rubber stamped communities you have to stand up for yourself
00:29:42.320
property rights matter more than anything else environmental reviews decent ones real ones
00:29:48.920
matter good reasons to examine these projects the question is whether we've built a system
00:29:54.520
that can still say yes when the answer should be yes that's why you shouldn't just march and say
00:30:00.560
no. You should say no unless. The answer should always have a way to find a way to yes.
00:30:10.680
Because we have to have these. I'm sorry, but if you want to be France, then don't build these.
00:30:21.000
And the France that is today, or maybe even tomorrow. If you don't have a problem being
00:30:25.960
Mexico, then don't build these. But if you want America to be strong in a leadership role,
0.92
00:30:32.940
and you want your children to be able to deal with the future that is coming, whether you like
00:30:39.220
it or not, you must have the data centers and you must have a strong power grid. You just don't have
00:30:46.220
to have it built on your back. You just don't have, you have all the power. They built this
00:30:52.980
thing with your knowledge with your data they're still building it with who you are your data and
00:30:58.580
what you use don't let them get away with it for another second no you're not building it that way
00:31:05.480
unless you just have to fill out the unless because it's different for each of us and each
00:31:13.360

00:31:18.120
download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts
00:31:21.320
full disclosure i come at this from a different place two reasons i practice a faith that believes
00:31:31.720
in what is called the premortal existence that we were in heaven with god before we gained a body
00:31:38.780
that there is a purpose for us to gain a body just like there was a purpose for jesus to gain a body
00:31:43.620
and we came down here to be shrouded in flesh so we could learn how to learn how to wield the power
00:31:54.220
of our spirits learn we have such power we are not god but we have the power like god in us
00:32:02.760
and to wield that and to be able to have all of these desires and passions and then to be able to
00:32:09.120
go, no, to have free choice and to know how to make the decisions that actually God would make
00:32:16.880
and to wield real power with compassion and decency and love, that's why we're here,
00:32:23.900
to learn all of that. My faith also believes in the literal war in heaven, that there was a war
00:32:32.920
and it was, Lucifer was like, I'll get all the credit, you give me the credit, I'll make all
00:32:38.160
the decisions, and I'll bring everybody home. And Jesus was like, no, I will go and I'll sacrifice
00:32:44.880
myself for their sins, so I will wash them clean so they can come back into your presence.
00:32:51.680
And God chose the plan of salvation, chose Christ, and said, that is the one. Lucifer gets upset,
00:33:01.440
has a war in heaven. Now think about a war in heaven. How do you, if you are there in front of
00:33:07.900
God, how do you get a third of the angels who have been worshiping and singing praise,
00:33:13.980
how do you get them to say, yeah, I'm on your side, I'm not going with God? How do you do that?
00:33:20.900
The only way I can imagine this happening is if you start saying things like, look at what he's
00:33:25.920
saying. He will sacrifice him for something he didn't do, his chosen one. He will make him
00:33:34.760
suffer on a cross, he will then take all of his children, send them down, knowing some of them
0.89
00:33:42.320
aren't going to make it, knowing they're going to have life of misery and pain and everything else.
00:33:47.420
And you say, Lucifer, you're going to take all that away. You'll just make all of the decisions
00:33:52.500
and everybody will come home and it'll be happy and it'll be great. God is horrible.
0.96
00:33:58.620
That's how I see it happening because I see it happening today. That's the same argument when
00:34:03.820
somebody says, no, you shouldn't make the choice. We'll make the choice for you. That's why I believe
00:34:10.080
free will is the answer on everything. You have free will. Now, there are certain boundaries that
00:34:19.280
we say, no, you can't do that. Just like God says, there are certain boundaries, thou shall not kill.
00:34:24.340
We have the same certain boundaries. But it's up to the individual to choose. And it has to be that
00:34:31.920
way because that's the way God intended it to be.
00:34:36.120
That being said, the ones who fought the most valiantly, and I don't know what a war in
00:34:40.560
heaven is actually like, could be words, I don't know what it was like, but the ones
00:34:43.840
who fought the most valiantly that didn't need to be tested as hard as maybe I need
00:34:48.720
to be tested, those who fought on the front lines and cast Satan out.
00:35:01.920
those are the ones that don't need to be tested.
00:35:06.860
And they are the ones that are born with, let's say, Down syndrome.
00:35:25.280
I worked with Special Olympians for many years when I was young.
0.99
00:35:29.560
And I will tell you, and this is the proper use of the word, they are not the ones that are retarded.
0.98
00:35:42.380
When I use the word retarded, I'm usually talking about people who I think are smarter than I am.
1.00
00:35:49.220
They are just so arrogant or so blind that they've become slow and they're retarded.
1.00
00:35:57.500
I never would refer to anyone with cerebral palsy
1.00
00:36:39.460
And there's this room in Auschwitz where they take all of the things from disabled people.
00:36:51.340
and she stood there with me and she got really quiet i had to back up i had to go actually
00:36:58.940
stand by a window it was so overwhelming for me because watching her look at that and i could see
00:37:04.960
her thinking it through and she turned around and she came up to me and she said dad they would
00:37:15.580
have killed me wouldn't they yes they would have
00:37:32.260
that my daughter has brought into my world and others worlds everybody who meets our family
00:38:30.400
If I could have in a really twisted, warped world,
00:38:35.580
if I was just thinking about me, I would say, no, we don't want any of that.
00:38:46.980
But through all the pain that our children face and all the pain that we face, it is so worth it.
00:38:56.560
But you have to realize that life is not about you.
00:39:04.120
that we are exactly the same as animals, except for one thing.
00:39:09.420
We were made in God's image, whether that is he's got arms and legs.
00:39:16.580
You can be a space octopus. I don't really care.
00:39:24.500
We have the ability to have his characteristics.
00:39:58.220
you have been given such a tremendous gift and i hate this phrase god will never give you more
00:40:07.180
than you can handle but it's true you just have to be willing mr phelps this is your mission if
00:40:14.500
you're if you choose to accept it you're being asked to do an impossible mission do you choose
00:40:23.160
to accept it, or do you say, no, this life is about me. I want my life. I want my life, and I want it
00:40:29.480
on my terms. I want to be happy. I want to be free to create. I want to be free to be without that
00:40:35.740
burden. I want ease. And you can mask it any way you want. You can even say, well, but they suffer.
00:40:44.220
look up baby now or it's all just look up baby now or the first baby that was the beginning of
00:40:52.280
the holocaust it was how it was hitler saying look at this child can't hear can't see can't speak
00:41:00.540
probably will have no intelligence i think it didn't have arms or something this child and the
00:41:07.540
parents were like we don't know what to do we don't know what to do and hitler's medical doctors
00:41:17.700
It's too hard on the state and too hard on the parents.
00:41:21.440
And they killed it on the front page with compassion.
1.00
00:41:44.000
Now, this couple, it's not like they didn't, they didn't say that's not a baby.
00:42:00.960
They said that's a life, but it's not a life worth living.
00:42:36.340
but everybody did. So I'm not going to bore you with mine. Everybody had a difficult childhood
0.96
00:42:39.500
one way or another. And we can all sit here and whine about our childhood, how we were raised,
00:42:43.200
what happened to us, whatever. I don't believe in any of that stuff. You get over it or you don't.
00:42:48.300
And for a long time, I didn't get over it. And I started drinking and drinking and drinking.
00:42:51.620
And I found all of, I made a goal for myself that I was going to be successful in business.
00:42:57.680
And I was going to chart my own course and everything else. And I started when I was 13
00:43:03.340
years old. By the time I was 30, I was an alcoholic. I had accomplished so much. I had
00:43:10.100
been rich. I had been poor. I had been mildly famous. I had been mildly successful. I had all
00:43:20.240
of the bling. I had the cars. I had the houses. I had everything. And I was miserable. Miserable.
00:43:26.960
and i sobered up and i met a good woman i found god i got married i had more children
00:43:36.720
and i still had hard times but i found moments of happiness real happiness and you know where
00:43:48.960
I found them every time? In my family, which is the hardest thing I've ever done.
00:43:59.300
Raising my children was the hardest thing by far. I have to tell you, while I'm doing it,
00:44:07.040
I would have done anything to not do that because it was so far out of my ability. It was so far
00:44:12.800
out of my comfort zone. It was so far out of my abilities, I thought, my capability. I don't know
00:44:19.760
what I'm doing. I'm the worst. I don't want to do this anymore. But let me tell you something.
00:44:26.520
There is nothing that brings me more happiness than my family. There is nothing that I wish I
00:44:34.360
had more of than children. I wish I had more children. I wish I was a better parent, but there
00:44:42.440
is nothing that brings you happiness eternally you will understand this and you will understand
00:44:49.500
it the older you get there's nothing else but family cherish that don't kill it hello america
00:44:57.380
you know we've been fighting every single day we push back against the lies the censorship
00:45:01.840
the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you we work tirelessly to bring you
00:45:07.660
the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:45:13.760
Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead
00:45:18.300
a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more
00:45:24.020
Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it,
00:45:29.660
a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us
00:45:44.740
A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors
00:45:50.240
It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:45:53.780
And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
