00:00:00.000
Hey, on today's podcast, there's a lot to cover. The media is indeed to blame for not covering the
00:00:06.100
Charlotte stabbing. And I think it's because of a reason that I don't I haven't heard anybody else
00:00:13.500
say there. Everybody's saying it didn't fit the narrative. Yeah, well, I think there's something
00:00:17.080
else involved. I think they thought that they could cause you to choose violence as a result
00:00:24.740
of them not covering. Also, what the torch really is. And why is the government not going after
00:00:30.700
people like George Soros knowing what he is capable of? What is our duty and our responsibility?
00:00:36.660
And would you be the bystander on the train? Or would you be able to stand up for what is right
00:00:42.300
and stop the madman? That's a conversation that I'm not sure who I would be. I know who I'd hope I'd be
00:00:49.460
on that train in Charlotte. But would I be? And would your family? What would you tell your
00:00:56.060
daughter to do in that situation? If she was sitting next to Irina in the seat right across
00:01:02.920
the aisle? Some deep thoughts on that one, all on today's podcast. Let me tell you about the
00:01:09.740
Berna launcher. Not every situation calls for a firearm. And if you've ever been in that gray area
00:01:14.880
where something felt off, maybe even dangerous, but you didn't feel justified pulling a gun,
00:01:19.460
then you know exactly why the Berna launcher exists. It's a non-lethal self-defense device
00:01:25.560
that operates like a firearm, but it fires pepper projectiles instead of bullets. There's no permit
00:01:30.980
required. It's legal in all 50 states. Look, the thing was invented by a guy who loves the Second
00:01:36.320
Amendment, but he was in road rage. Somebody was road raging and he pulls his car over. The guy in
00:01:42.560
road rage pulls right behind him, gets out of the car. He reaches for his gun in the glove box and is
00:01:47.640
like, no, I'm not willing to pull a gun and kill this guy. That'll just escalate things. He said
00:01:52.200
that was the biggest mistake of his life because he was beaten within an inch of his life by this guy
00:01:56.400
who was road raging. That's when he decided, I want to, I want something that I am feel comfortable
00:02:01.940
pulling every single time. And that's the Berna launcher. Do not put yourself in a situation where
00:02:08.300
you have to choose getting beaten with an inch of your life or pulling a gun.
00:02:12.160
This is an amazing thing, and I don't know why everybody is not giving them to their students
00:02:18.040
as they go to school. The Berna launcher, it's legal in all 50 states. Have to be 18, but it should be
00:02:23.780

00:03:40.620
You know, while I was on vacation and I said this, when I came back, one of the things that I
00:03:46.320
found in my travels on vacation across the country was that we just, we are people that go from circus
00:03:54.060
to circus. That's really all that's happening right now. And this case in Charlotte is exactly
00:04:03.720
the same thing. It's going from one outrage to another outrage. And the press knows exactly what
00:04:13.060
they're doing. And I believe their silence was an attempt to whip you into violent action.
00:04:20.060
First of all, they didn't cover it because, you know, it didn't fit the narrative. And then after
00:04:25.680
a while, you don't cover it because, well, wait a minute. You know, when I, when I silence people,
00:04:32.740
when I don't cover something, what does that do?
00:04:36.200
I mean, they know, they know you're violent. You've already been labeled and targeted as a violent
00:04:47.100
extremist. They honestly are baffled by your nonviolent reaction in the last 20 years. Okay.
00:04:54.140
Because they think they know us. It's so strange. I had about 30 kids at the house yesterday and I was
00:05:02.840
teaching, um, the declaration of independence and, and, uh, and our founding documents. And I, I was,
00:05:11.280
I got up this morning and I read this and I'm thinking about the press and how they think they
00:05:18.260
know us. And I felt exactly, I think I felt like Thomas Jefferson must've when he was writing our
00:05:24.140
breakup letter, you know, the declaration of independence with King George, because in that
00:05:29.380
it's a plea it's, he's saying, look, we owe it to humanity. We owe it to the world and all mankind
00:05:36.500
to when we're going to do something this big, we owe the world a reason and we own the King,
00:05:43.500
a reason for doing it. And basically he's saying, because you don't understand us. We, we have been
00:05:50.000
trying to tell you that we don't believe the same things that you do. You believe you're the King
00:05:56.340
and you have the divine right of the King because God has appointed you to be King over us. And,
00:06:03.000
and we're, we're subjects. We're not even citizens. We're just subjects. And we don't believe that we
00:06:10.460
hold these things to be self-evident. Okay. And that's the way I feel right now that the press
00:06:18.220
thinks they know who we are and they won't listen. We've tried to tell them over and over again. We've
00:06:23.500
tried to tell the, you know, anybody reasonable who doesn't vote like us. We've been trying to say,
00:06:30.160
we're not those people. We're not who you say we are. We don't hate the government. We just don't
00:06:36.120
trust the government and neither do you quite honestly. And we shouldn't, we should hold them
00:06:43.060
accountable. We know what the problems are just like, you know, what the problems are.
00:06:47.880
You know, many people in your camp are trying to overthrow the United States of America.
00:06:54.880
I'm not, I'm trying to return her to her founding principles. You know, I hold these truths to be
00:07:02.000
self-evident. You know, we just heard, what's his name? Uh, I want to say it was a Tim Kaine that,
00:07:08.200
uh, just said that, you know, they say our rights come from God. Yes. Those are self-evident truths
00:07:14.940
that have all that is the American standard. You don't believe that you believe things like King
00:07:21.860
George believed. I don't. So how am I the revolutionary today in America? We're not like
00:07:30.280
you. You want to tear things down and destroy. We want to build. You believe the lie of that,
00:07:38.300
you know, there's, there are sheep and ranchers and you're the rancher and we're the sheep.
00:07:44.940
Some people are just born to be in charge because they know better. And because they know better,
00:07:50.100
they can get rich by any corrupt way they choose. But you, you have to pay your fair share, play by
00:07:57.220
the rules. And then we're going to make the rules to make it so you can't really ever succeed.
00:08:04.160
They believe they rule, not the, just the world, but our world, our personal world,
00:08:11.540
because they know better. And they're going to force us to live their way.
00:08:17.260
Sorry. I hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.
00:08:23.820
And there are certain unchangeable rights that were given not by government, but by God to me
00:08:29.880
and you. And I have confidence in the Supreme judge of mankind. I have total confidence. God is not neutral
00:08:41.100
in the affairs of man. He's not. We need to do what is right, righteous, and legal.
00:08:48.420
I believe it is time we start to pursue legal accountability. We have to demand laws that strip
00:08:59.200
blanket immunity from prosecutors who are refusing to enforce the law. If you are going against federal
00:09:07.740
laws, the federal government should be able to go after you as a prosecutor.
00:09:13.080
We have to have real consequences for negligence in office. There's, there's consequences for
00:09:23.280
negligence on the street. Why is there no consequence for negligence in office? Why is it we can have all
00:09:29.640
those people killed in Afghanistan on our pullout and nobody was held accountable? Nobody. How is it we
00:09:36.800
can have prosecutor after prosecutor? Act in ways that let criminals back out in the streets that are killing
00:09:46.360
over and over and over again? Our neighborhoods are not safe. Our towns are not safe. Our people are dying from
00:09:53.360
drug cartels. And yet nobody's held for negligence? I mean, I'm being nice by saying negligence.
00:10:06.800
We need to begin to look to the law in all of our states. And it is high time our Congress gets off their
00:10:23.120
fat, lazy asses and starts to prosecute people. They know. They already know. They know. They have all the
00:10:34.300
evidence. Why is it being bogged down in Congress? Because many of them are involved. Well, maybe it's
00:10:41.320
time you appoint a citizens council. Maybe it's time to have citizens in charge of oversight of our
00:10:51.300
government. People who have not been paid off. People who are not involved in the corruption.
00:10:57.820
We have to refuse to forget. We have to refuse to sit down. We have to refuse to remain silent. Even though
00:11:12.680
everything you say might be used in a court of law at some point should things turn ugly. Refuse to remain
00:11:21.620
silent. You know, two months ago, I wrote a document I've been trying to figure out how to explain
00:11:29.660
internally and to you as well what the torch is and what our responsibilities are. And I wrote a document
00:11:40.080
for this program. And what we must do, what I feel our duty is to you and to the country,
00:11:50.740
and I shared it with a couple of people and they were like, I don't know, that's pretty harsh. And I'm like,
00:11:56.760
how is that harsh? That is just common sense and it's true. And I've been sitting on it and been praying
00:12:04.380
on it, been thinking about it. And you know what? Today I got up after thinking about all of this stuff last
00:12:10.900
night, yesterday and today and seeing what's happening in the world. And I'm sorry. I don't care if it's harsh. I
00:12:17.240
don't care if, I don't think you're going to find it harsh. I think you're going to go damn right.
00:12:24.260
But I want to declare what this program stands for and what our attempt and what we believe,
00:12:35.200
what I believe we should do as a company. And the good news is it's my company.
00:12:40.660
Um, so I want to share that with you next hour because I, I think it, it, it, it is the same
00:12:48.280
thing you should make as, as your duty as well, because I think this goes to all of us because
00:12:56.280
we're all in the same boat. We're all in this together. And if we don't, if we, for instance,
00:13:06.380
on this Charlotte story, if we erase Irina's name and just forget about it, it, her death
00:13:16.200
just becomes another casualty of a political narrative war. And that's what we're in. We're
00:13:22.680
fighting evil and evil is just a political narrative at this point. That's all it is.
00:13:30.280
Justice is not persecution. Justice is not vengeance. Justice is holding the guilty accountable,
00:13:46.020
whether they have a knife in the shadows or a prosecutor's pen in the courthouse, hold people
00:13:54.920
accountable. You know, Irina deserves that. She deserved that. We deserve that. And if we
00:14:03.900
don't demand it, you know, the next victim can be any, any one of us. And I go back to what
00:14:09.140
I told you just a minute ago, how the words of the killer coming out of his mouth, I guess
00:14:14.240
I got that white girl. How that reminded me of what was said to me by a crazy man on the
00:14:21.440
streets of Washington, D.C. Today's the day I'm going to kill me a white man. As he circled
00:14:27.280
me and pointed at me and looked me in the eye and said it repeatedly, today's the day I'm
00:14:33.820
going to kill me a white man. I mean it. Today is the day I'm going to kill me a white man.
00:14:38.160
I got up today and I thought I'm going to kill me a white man. That was a clear threat.
00:14:43.800
And that's exactly what happened to Irina. And if we don't stop this, you may be the next
00:14:56.940
victim because these people are empowered. They're in the streets. And if they are, if
00:15:06.620
they are whipped up by the media, if they are revolutionaries, they need to go to jail. If
00:15:16.940
they are just crazy people, they need to be removed from society and put into a treatment
00:15:25.120
program or being held until they are sane. But we're not doing any of those things because
00:15:35.340
our mayors are unaccountable. Our prosecutors are unaccountable. No one is being held to
00:15:44.200
anything except for you. That's not a society that will last.
00:15:53.840
Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical. September is National Preparedness Month.
00:15:58.740
And even if you were, you know, to get ahead of the curve, you know, you're still behind the
00:16:04.280
curve. So now is the time to do it. Whether we're headed for a recession or just more of
00:16:08.600
the same unpredictable chaos, who knows? But being prepared isn't paranoia. It's common
00:16:13.280
sense. And that's why I would like to recommend Jace Medical. They offer practical real world
00:16:19.800
solutions that help you stay ready, not reactive with the Jace case. You'll get 10 emergency
00:16:25.240
medications and antibiotics prescribed by a doctor and shipped right to your door. Now, it's not
00:16:29.960
just a good idea. It's a game plan for when disaster strikes. And for those of us who take
00:16:35.380
daily prescriptions, they also offer Jace daily, giving you a full year's supply of your chronic
00:16:40.740
meds. So you're not at the mercy of the supply chains or the pharmacy shortages should they come.
00:16:46.140
During National Preparedness Month, Jace is running a massive sale, even easier to afford.
00:16:51.200
Go to Jace.com, enter the promo code BECK at checkout, get a discount on your order.
00:16:55.320
It's promo code BECK at J-A-S-E dot com, Jace dot com. Now back to the podcast. This is the best
00:17:03.700
of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on iTunes. So I wrote a document because I am
00:17:11.020
trying to explain to my staff, to myself, so I can then translate this on what the torch really is,
00:17:22.940
because the torch is something that I'm starting in January. It is a pretty massive move in my
00:17:29.560
career. And it's gangly. It has so many different arms to it, but they're all pulling in the same
00:17:41.420
direction. And part of that is to expose the truth. And that's in current events. And that's what this
00:17:48.620
show is for. To expose what's really going on. To help you understand not only what happened
00:17:55.520
yesterday, but what it means, what's coming over the horizon tomorrow, and what to do about it today.
00:18:03.480
And to hold people, to hold a record of what has happened, because that's one of the other arms of
00:18:15.220
the torch is history. And when we think of history, we think of history, you know, the old dusty powder
00:18:22.160
wig kind of history. But history is happening right now. What happened in Charlotte is now part of
00:18:28.300
American history. And you have to know history to be able to see what happened to a society, what
00:18:36.200
happened to this civilization, and how do we get back if we choose to get back. So I wrote something
00:18:42.220
a couple of months ago, and I want to share it with you. It was our principles of truth and duty.
00:18:50.720
And this was something that I wrote for my staff. But I think it applies to everybody, you know, that
00:18:57.840
that cares to heed the warning. There comes a time in the life of a nation, a people, or even a single
00:19:04.500
soul when silence becomes betrayal. Not because silence itself is evil, but because it allows evil to
00:19:11.820
metastasize. When the foundations of liberty are under assault through lies, miseducation, bureaucratic
00:19:18.720
rot, or quiet erosion of conscience, it becomes not just advisable, but incumbent upon us to act.
00:19:28.140
This is not meant to be a call to arms. This is a call to accounting, a call to record, to expose,
00:19:37.500
to resist the machinery of falsehood with clarity, with courage, and a relentless commitment to the truth.
00:19:44.960
We have a duty to document. Again, this was meant for internal use, but I think this is all of our duty.
00:19:54.700
We have a duty to document. We have an urgent obligation to gather, organize, and preserve every fact,
00:20:03.460
every document, every statement, and record this. Put it on the record. Anything that reveals how truth
00:20:12.440
has been suppressed and freedom distorted. Because tyranny rarely kicks down the front door, it seeps
00:20:19.300
through the cracks. Rewritten textbooks, judicial overreach, regulatory capture, and a media more loyal
00:20:26.740
to narrative than fact. Our mission is to leave no stone unturned. We must collect evidence from those
00:20:35.120
who have been silenced, the whistleblowers, the scholars, the citizens. We must document the abuses
00:20:41.900
in education, religion, politics, and the press. We must preserve the testimonies of those who still
00:20:49.620
remember what America was meant to be, so that the record can't be altered by those who wish to remake it
00:20:56.200
in their image. This is a stewardship, not of history alone, but of memory to the necessity of public
00:21:09.620
exposure. To give people information is no longer enough. Collecting information is no longer enough.
00:21:20.240
Truth locked in a drawer is no different from truth that never existed. Our task is to make the darkness
00:21:28.860
visible, to shine a light on it so intensely that no rational mind can deny what it sees. Therefore,
00:21:37.700
we must publish. We must speak. We must create platforms immune to the corrosive pull of centralized
00:21:46.240
control. If the towers of culture no longer permit dissent. We must build new towers. If the institutions
00:21:56.080
of learning no longer teach, then we must build new institutions. We must teach it in our homes. We must
00:22:04.100
teach it in our churches, in our communities. Through the digital ether, it must be taught. Truth
00:22:12.200
must be weaponized, but not to wound, simply to wake. Three, the importance of naming names.
00:22:25.440
It is not enough anymore to condemn evil in the abstract. The machinery of corruption operates
00:22:34.920
through people, through planners, financiers, bureaucrats, ideologues. We must, with
00:22:42.020
discernment and precision, identify those who have abused their power, manipulated the system,
00:22:49.560
or enabled tyranny. Not for vengeance, but for accountability. A future generation must be able
00:22:59.420
to trace how the fire spread so they may build firebreaks that last. Four, the spiritual cost of inaction.
00:23:12.020
Though this isn't a religious document, it should be known there is a spiritual dimension to
00:23:19.360
cowardice. When good men and women fail to speak, they don't merely preserve their safety,
00:23:27.480
they transfer their burden to those who will come after them. Every truth left unsaid becomes a lie
00:23:36.100
the next generation. We all will be asked, what did you know? When did you know it? And what did you do
00:23:46.760
with what you knew? We cannot give the answer. I waited for somebody else.
00:23:55.640
Five, the power of the individual. This statement of purpose is not for a mob. It's not for the crowd.
00:24:08.020
It is for the individual, the mother, the teacher, the soldier, the student, who still believes the truth
00:24:15.200
matters and who's willing to carry the weight of remembering and resisting. No contribution is too small.
00:24:23.760
None is too small. No act of courage is wasted. You may at some point be the last light in your circle.
00:24:35.920
That is all the more reason to burn brighter. To remain silent now is to become complicit.
00:24:44.100
To act is not optional. It is essential. Therefore, it is our duty to document, to expose, to speak,
00:25:10.240
history is not written by those who whisper in safety. History is written by those who stood
00:25:21.760
when standing cost them dearly. That is the path to restoring the promise. That is our duty,
00:25:33.800
our responsibility, our responsibility, and our honor.
00:25:53.960
I don't know how you can find that radical. I don't know how you can find that to be anything
00:26:17.360
And I share that with you today because I knew this when I wrote this, but it feels more important
00:26:28.240
even today as I'm seeing what is happening in our country just with this Charlotte thing.
00:26:37.480
There are people that are hell-bent in tearing us apart.
00:26:46.400
You know, those people on the train that did nothing, though, some did stand up eventually
00:26:56.960
and tried to help, but it was too late. And I don't know if you could have saved her anyway.
00:27:02.620
I don't judge those people. I don't know what was going through their head.
00:27:07.640
I didn't like the action. I didn't like the fact that nobody went to her.
00:27:12.440
You know, the woman sitting across just turned her face, turned her head while this woman
00:27:17.560
is dying on the floor. I mean, I think you're going to pay a personal spiritual cost for that.
00:27:24.760
Although, I could be wrong. I don't know what was going through that woman's head.
00:27:28.940
But if we don't act, if we only protect ourselves and we don't stand,
00:27:47.280
Remember, all the planes went down because nobody did anything,
00:27:58.520
they were able to get messages to and from their people, their families on the ground.
00:28:07.040
And once they found out, no, we are just one of many planes being taken down,
00:28:31.520
We have a responsibility. You have a responsibility to record facts.
00:28:38.400
So at some point, people can be held responsible.
00:28:43.660
I am waiting for this government to hold George Soros responsible
00:28:48.340
for what he has done to the freedom of the West.
00:28:52.460
There are several countries that will not allow his NGOs in.
00:29:04.100
They know what he really is trying to do, no matter what he says.
00:29:17.420
He's helping these prosecutors turn our country into a hellhole,
00:29:29.080
I'm not calling for vengeance and I'm not calling for violence.
00:29:37.360
We must, as a nation, stand against what he is doing.
00:29:44.700
They were out trying to disrupt President Trump and J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio.
00:29:55.360
And they, you know, they're marching out in front and they're trying to, you know,
00:30:02.700
They're chanting, they feast while Gaza starves.
00:30:09.280
Stop terrorizing communities all over the world.
00:30:12.920
You know, if you were honest, maybe, maybe I could tolerate it.
00:30:22.360
You haven't been honest in anything that you've done.
00:30:25.320
And beyond that, you are funded by the Chinese Communist Party through Neville Singham.
00:30:38.160
Why aren't we as a nation shutting things down?
00:30:47.100
You can say things that I vehemently disagree with.
00:30:50.380
But when you are funding organizations who intent, their intent is to cause revolution in our country,
00:31:01.560
We as citizens must document who these people are, how they're doing it.
00:31:14.020
Otherwise, it ends the way it's ending now on the other side of the globe.
00:31:18.920
I want to bring you a story that you probably didn't even pay attention to if you even heard it yesterday.
00:31:24.840
But it is a very important story because it relates right directly back to you and us.
00:31:48.100
And also, hello to our chief researcher, Jason Buttrell.
00:31:55.700
You know, I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.
00:32:11.900
Then my, well, sit down and, you know, you're going to be judged.
00:32:23.880
What would I want my wife to do in that situation?
00:32:27.660
Yeah, those are two different questions, by the way.
00:32:34.980
I mean, it's tough to put yourself in that situation.
00:32:36.660
It's very easy to watch a video on the Internet and talk about your heroism.
00:32:41.840
Like, everybody can do that very easily on Twitter, and everyone is.
00:32:46.000
You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered someone in front of you,
00:32:53.200
has a dripping, you know, blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you,
00:33:02.700
That we should all kind of consider and maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman sitting across the aisle.
00:33:14.420
But when you talk about that question, I think those two questions are definitive.
00:33:17.860
You know, I know what I would want myself to do.
00:33:20.120
I'd hope I'd act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.
00:33:27.080
But I also think when I'm thinking of my wife, my advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs.
00:33:37.720
She's actually, you know, probably a heck of a lot stronger than I am.
00:33:49.580
You know, now maybe, you know, once the guy has certainly is out of the area and you don't think the moment you step into that situation,
00:33:57.800
he's going to turn around and decide to kill you too, then, of course, obviously anything you could do to step in.
00:34:02.700
Not that I think there was much anyone on the train could do.
00:34:06.380
I mean, I don't think that there was an outcome change no matter what anyone on that train did, unfortunately.
00:34:15.600
Well, of course, if she really, if she felt she was safe, yes.
00:34:18.240
But, man, I mean, think about, you said your wife.
00:34:22.520
Your daughter's on that train just watching someone else get murdered like that.
00:34:27.100
Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?
00:34:31.260
That girl sitting across the aisle with somebody's daughter.
00:34:43.340
As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?
00:34:55.600
Then, yeah, I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would.
00:35:02.040
And, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.
00:35:08.620
But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.
00:35:14.500
And I'm not sure that, I'm not sure what I would do in that situation.
00:35:18.180
I know what I would hope I would do, but I also know what I fear I would do.
00:35:22.780
But I would hope that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her, you know, help her up off the floor, at least be there with her as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.
00:35:39.220
And that's the other thing we have to keep in mind.
00:35:44.660
A minute will seem like a very long period of time in that situation, but it's a very short period of time in real life.
00:35:55.720
I, you know, I don't need the video to change my position on this.
00:36:01.600
Uh, but it does seem like there was a, uh, someone who did get there eventually to help, right?
00:36:08.980
Like I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.
00:36:16.880
But how long of a time period would you say that was?
00:36:23.140
I know that we watched, um, the video that I saw.
00:36:27.140
I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she, uh, is down.
00:36:34.380
Um, and you know, for 30 seconds, nothing is happening.
00:36:38.260
And you know, that's, that is a, that is not a very long period of time.
00:36:47.800
He certainly can't be, you know, he may have left the actual, uh, train car by 30 seconds to a minute,
00:36:57.500
Like he was still in visual, he could still turn around and look and see the, you know,
00:37:03.400
So certainly still a threat, I guess is my point.
00:37:10.160
You know, I, I, I look, as you point out, I think, you know, if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here,
00:37:17.400
sort of my dividing line might just be, uh, men and women.
00:37:21.720
You know, I, I don't know if it's, if that's a, uh, you're not supposed to say that, I suppose, these days,
00:37:28.180
but like, you know, there is a difference there.
00:37:29.960
And, you know, if I'm a man, if I'm a man, you know, I would be, I would want my son to jump in on that,
00:37:35.000
I suppose, you know, I, I don't know if he could do anything about it, but you'd expect a, at least a grown man
00:37:41.660
to be able to go in there and do something about it.
00:37:43.740
A woman, you know, I don't know, maybe, uh, maybe I'm, um, uh,
00:37:49.000
You know, here's the thing I don't, here's the thing that I, I, that causes me to say,
00:37:56.200
And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train.
00:38:01.120
Um, so you've proven that you're a killer and anybody who would have screamed and got up
00:38:06.760
and was with her in there, she's dying, she's dying, get him, get him.
00:38:10.620
Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy, you know?
00:38:15.040
Um, and if you don't stop him after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that
00:38:21.900
train, if you're not stopping him, uh, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the
00:38:35.320
It'd be the ones that are standing up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or
00:38:41.660
So there was a, uh, speaking of men and women's and their roles in this, there was a video that
00:38:46.260
was circling social media yesterday, uh, Sweden in Sweden.
00:38:50.520
It was a group of officials up on a stage and one of like the main, I think it was like a health
00:38:54.540
official woman collapses on stage, completely passes out.
00:38:59.200
All the men kind of look away or I don't know if they were looking away or pretending like they
00:39:03.820
There was another woman standing directly beside the woman that passed out, immediately springs
00:39:07.980
into action, jumps on top, grabs her pant leg, grabs her shoulder, spins her over and starts,
00:39:14.840
What did she have that the other guys did not or women?
00:39:24.380
There's some people that do not respond this way.
00:39:26.700
My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus just people that don't really know how to react.
00:39:31.360
That is diminishing in Western society and American society.
00:39:35.260
We see it all the time in these critical actions.
00:39:39.420
I mean, uh, circumstances, there are men and women and there's, it's actually a meme that
00:39:44.580
fantasize about hordes of people coming to attack their home and family.
00:39:53.380
I'm staying behind while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hordes to come because I will
00:39:58.060
There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway, go ahead, block my highway.
00:40:06.320
They fantasize about someone holding up a liquor store, not a liquor store, a convenience
00:40:10.980
store or something because they will step in and do something.
00:40:14.260
My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing.
00:40:19.900
Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car and there were none.
00:40:29.260
And we see what happens when they do with Daniel Penny, right?
00:40:31.860
Like our society vilifies them and tries to crush their existence.
00:40:36.260
Now there weren't that many people on the train, right?
00:40:38.760
Like at least on that car, all I could see in the pictures, and again, it's limited, but
00:40:47.600
Like you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone
00:40:52.700
doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want, you know, a guy to do, especially
00:40:57.460
a Marine to step up and stop this from happening.
00:41:01.060
And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend
00:41:13.080
The difference between that one and this one though, is that, um, the guy was threatening.
00:41:25.000
Well, the, you know, going in and I think that, but it's the opposite way.
00:41:27.920
I mean, the, the debate with Penny was, should he have recognized that this person might've
00:41:37.400
He was just saying things and, you know, he didn't, he didn't wind up stabbing someone.
00:41:42.520
This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you,
00:41:47.360
even when you don't do anything to try to stop him.
00:41:50.400
So if, if this woman who's, you know, again, looks to be a, uh, an average American woman
00:41:56.520
across the aisle, steps in and tries to do something, he, this guy could easily turn around
00:42:01.700
and, and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.
00:42:07.540
And I, you know, whether that is a, an optimal solution for our society, I don't, I don't
00:42:13.840
know that that, that, that's helpful in that situation.
00:42:16.920
Uh, Sarah, can you go to yesterday's sound sheet and see if you can find from yesterday,
00:42:24.380
we didn't get a chance to play it, a guy in England who is it, was it Tommy Robinson?
00:42:32.740
So Tommy Robinson, there was a, um, there was a protest in his favor and, uh, you know,
00:42:40.480
the police were called and they were trying to arrest people.
00:42:43.220
And there was one guy who was talking to, I don't know, a reporter or just a podcaster
00:42:50.180
And, um, and he was asked, you know, how can you stand here?
00:42:54.740
And you don't, you don't, you're not even wearing a mask.
00:42:57.700
So they're going to come to your house and get you.
00:43:00.660
So are we seeing fewer of these or more of these type of people?
00:43:05.080
Listen to this guy interviewed in the streets, um, in England.
00:43:17.140
Why would I say I'm ashamed of my nation or my people?
00:43:20.380
If I put a mask on my face, I'm saying I'm wrong.
00:44:08.580
And everybody in the entire world has a debt of gratitude to every Englishman for their freedom.
00:44:18.060
And I sure as hell aren't ashamed to talk on your camera.
00:44:26.660
Are we seeing more of these people or fewer of those people?
00:44:33.260
When the amount or the proportion of sheepdogs diminishes and they go away, never ends well for society.
00:44:40.160
I will tell you, though, at the same time, we saw none of these people five years ago.
00:44:51.900
And, again, you know, the proportion is you're probably right.
00:44:55.840
I mean, we're seeing uprisings all over the world.
00:44:58.380
And we're seeing, you know, there are thousands of people behind him.
00:45:03.140
But you're also seeing a UK that is well further advanced than we are.
00:45:12.260
And where they are, that's the direction they're pushing us in.
00:45:16.240
I mean, I'm supposed to bring my daughter or my granddaughter.
00:45:25.420
When my grandkids turn 12, I've told them, I'll take you.
00:45:31.040
I'll take you to see something that you want to see.
00:45:33.360
Wherever you want to see it, whatever you want to see, I'll take you.
00:45:36.600
Grandpa and I, Grandpa and you will go and see and I'll take you someplace.
00:45:47.940
And I'm supposed to take her sometime, you know, on a school break.
00:45:52.840
And I keep wondering, I mean, is it going to make it?
00:46:02.880
How long does France have before it just falls into a sinkhole?
00:46:14.980
In France, they're pushing back because France is, you know, the government is saying,
00:46:24.740
In England, they're in the streets because they know their country is being taken from them.
00:46:29.620
They know that the government is violating all of the most basic rights that an Englishman has.
00:46:37.860
And that's why they're standing up and pushing back.
00:46:40.120
And I'm very concerned because the police are not backing down.
00:46:46.120
You know, they just, the governments just keep pouring more fuel on these fires.
