00:00:36.740 while the world is, looks like it's on fire, the world is made up by individuals. And there are

00:00:42.100 some amazing things happening with individuals. We get into, we get into a few of these stories

00:00:49.020 and you're gonna love all of them. Next.

00:00:57.940 You're listening to

00:01:01.400 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program

00:01:04.200 Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:11.460 It's Friday

00:01:12.100 and I want to do a good news Friday.

00:01:15.040 I want to tell you some stories that you might not have heard

00:01:17.000 because they're not big international stories

00:01:19.880 and there's no screaming headlines.

00:01:21.740 Everybody's going to die.

00:01:22.800 We're at war and we'll never get out of it.

00:01:25.860 Trump, Trump, Trump.

00:01:27.940 They're just stories about everyday people that you don't hear about.

00:01:34.080 This one comes from a place called Penzance.

00:01:36.720 It sits at the very bottom tip of England.

00:01:39.680 It's about as far as you can go before the land runs out and the sea takes over.

00:01:47.300 In the summer, it's postcards.

00:01:49.940 In January, the wind comes off that wet water and cold and it just gets into your bones.

00:01:58.560 It was January.

00:02:03.140 There was a man who was living on the street.

00:02:04.880 His name was Wise Wynn Jones.

00:02:07.960 He was sleeping rough in that wind.

00:02:12.180 The cold was bad.

00:02:13.220 The night was worse.

00:02:18.100 He said, sleeping rough at night is not safe.

00:02:20.440 Doorways are not safe.

00:02:22.260 You're in public view at all times.

00:02:23.840 so he did what apparently a lot of homeless people

00:02:27.180 have learned to do

00:02:28.280 he stopped sleeping at night

00:02:29.420 and he stayed awake while the whole town slept

00:02:32.540 and he slept when the whole town was awake

00:02:35.860 and there were people around

00:02:36.800 and he knew he would be somewhat safe

00:02:39.600 this is a guy who is afraid of the dark

00:02:44.340 for a good reason

00:02:45.200 he's an interesting guy

00:02:50.120 he was carrying around a lot

00:02:51.720 for a long time.

00:02:55.160 He was badly bullied when he was a kid.

00:03:00.480 He was carrying around a head, in his words,

00:03:03.500 full of noise all the time

00:03:05.180 and hadn't had a home in about 10 years.

00:03:09.160 But there was one thing that he carried around

00:03:11.260 that no one knew.

00:03:14.460 When he was 12 years old,

00:03:16.720 he started playing the piano

00:03:18.380 and it turned out he had perfect pitch.

00:03:21.200 He could hear a song and see it.

00:03:23.540 He said, every time I hear music, I could see the notes.

00:03:30.020 I imagined myself playing the piano and I could see the notes in my head.

00:03:35.920 In all those years when life caved in, he had one rule.

00:03:41.340 If things go wrong, I'll just go and find a piano to play.

00:03:46.980 Well, that worked until he found himself homeless.

00:03:49.680 I mean, go try to find a piano when you don't have a front door.

00:03:55.420 Now, in the middle of this town, Penzance,

00:03:58.780 there's an old granite church called St. Mary's.

00:04:02.980 And on certain nights, St. Mary's does something most churches don't.

00:04:06.220 They keep the doors open all night, and they call it night church.

00:04:09.860 And volunteers come in.

00:04:14.740 They stay up for anybody out there who has nowhere else to be.

00:04:19.680 well it was one of those freezing nights in January

00:04:24.140 just a couple of years ago

00:04:25.940 where he walks in

00:04:27.960 he wasn't there for a sermon

00:04:31.000 he needed help

00:04:32.920 and he needed help from the piano

00:04:36.480 he came in and he said

00:04:39.420 I noticed you have a piano

00:04:42.840 and it's very noisy in my head

00:04:45.360 may I play it

00:04:48.340 They said, sure, go ahead.

00:04:51.680 He sat down, cold, tired, worn, homeless.

00:05:00.760 In this old stone church in the middle of the night.

00:05:04.480 And he started to play this.

00:05:11.460 This is actually him playing this in that stone church.

00:05:18.340 about a year later.

00:05:28.760 He doesn't

00:05:29.680 just

00:05:33.640 play a few bars.

00:05:37.740 He plays the whole thing,

00:05:39.220 the ballad, the opera, the rock,

00:05:41.020 all six minutes, all from memory,

00:05:43.500 filling the stone and the arches

00:05:45.400 and the dark.

00:05:48.340 Alex Phoenix, who runs the night church, said,

00:05:54.160 I'm a Christian woman, but I swore out loud when I heard it.

00:05:58.980 She said,

00:06:00.680 My volunteers just started crying.

00:06:07.900 One of them had the sense to pick up their phone and record it.

00:06:11.900 And they posted it on Facebook, and it took off.

00:06:14.860 Thousands of people watched it.

00:06:16.460 and all of them wanted to know the same thing.

00:06:21.700 Who is this guy?

00:06:23.820 They began calling him the night church pianist.

00:06:27.360 He didn't have any idea because he didn't have a phone.

00:06:30.440 He didn't get notifications.

00:06:33.920 He found out.

00:06:35.040 he found out

00:06:46.140 when he would walk down the street

00:06:51.180 and complete strangers started to come up to him

00:06:54.420 a man who had spent years trying not to be seen

00:06:58.760 because being seen at night was dangerous

00:07:01.100 suddenly being seen by everybody

00:07:03.220 and for the first time.

00:07:19.960 For the first time, being seen was safe.

00:07:26.640 What came next came fast.

00:07:28.500 local charity got him into

00:07:30.640 temporary housing

00:07:34.060 and housing association

00:07:36.040 got him a place of his own

00:07:37.340 and he played a benefit concert

00:07:39.280 and you're listening to that now

00:07:41.460 he ended up on a charity stage

00:07:44.640 alongside Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones

00:07:46.820 he played a concert inside of a cavern

00:07:48.680 he played the hall in Cornwall

00:07:51.760 he has a few other tricks up his sleeve

00:07:56.480 The man's a genius. He can recite every country on earth, every element on the periodic table, the first hundred digits of pie.

00:08:05.060 He's done fire circus. He Morris dances. For years, the world had walked past this man in a doorway.

00:08:14.260 And in about two and a half years, Reese Wynn Jones has raised more than 40,000 pounds, about $54,000 in every penny of it.

00:08:24.800 he insists, goes to homeless charities and good causes.

00:08:29.360 He doesn't want any of it himself.

00:08:32.320 He says, I don't see myself as a professional pianist or a celebrity figure.

00:08:37.100 I just need enough money to cover my expenses.

00:08:41.320 The rest he gives away.

00:08:45.320 He's a man who knows

00:08:46.640 exactly

00:08:49.480 exactly what it's like

00:08:53.920 to have nothing

00:08:55.540 and now in his newfound success

00:09:00.120 he has decided

00:09:01.020 he doesn't need much more

00:09:02.440 the rest

00:09:04.640 goes to that other guy

00:09:06.360 that is now

00:09:07.700 in the doorway

00:09:08.900 he calls his piano

00:09:12.860 a coping mechanism

00:09:14.280 but also this

00:09:16.140 it's not just that I have

00:09:18.600 my friend, it's my friend

00:09:21.120 it's somebody I trust, somebody I love dearly

00:09:24.000 there's a lot of noise in my head

00:09:26.600 but when I play the piano

00:09:27.780 my head goes quiet

00:09:29.140 he has home now

00:09:34.180 he goes

00:09:41.880 home to a warm bed

00:09:44.260 a door

00:09:45.660 that locks

00:09:47.280 and a night that can't hurt him anymore.

00:09:52.680 He could sleep through every single one of those nights if he wanted to.

00:09:56.640 But on Wednesday nights, when the sun goes down

00:09:59.060 and the cold comes in off the water,

00:10:02.240 he leaves that warm home

00:10:04.200 and he walks back through the dark to St. Mary's

00:10:09.500 where he sits down at the same piano.

00:10:12.380 Now the doors open and plays for anyone who comes in out of the cold.

00:10:21.420 He used to be the man who was afraid of the night, now...

00:10:28.460 he's the reason somebody else isn't afraid.

00:10:58.460 wow it's good news friday

00:11:14.440 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:11:20.300 300,000 in metric tons of foreign ground beef are about to come into the United States without the normal tariff.

00:11:32.200 That's a huge amount of beef.

00:11:34.000 And here's the part that bothers me.

00:11:35.660 When that beef ends up at the grocery store, you have no way of knowing which country it came from.

00:11:40.340 I'm all for buying beef for my family, but I want to know where it came from.

00:11:44.500 That's why I like Good Ranchers.

00:12:27.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:33.980 So I'm sitting there at church, and I write down

00:12:37.700 1970s tv commercial state farm and that's when she looks at me and she's like

00:12:46.600 what are you paying attention but what this is what i'm remembering in my head i don't remember

00:12:51.720 even what she this speaker said but something clicked and i was like oh my gosh and i was

00:12:57.480 remembering this commercial according to statistics your next accident is most likely

00:13:05.800 to happen near your home so doesn't it make sense to have an insurance agent who lives right in your

00:13:11.040 neighborhood one you can count on for fast fair claim service the kind of agent you know will be

00:13:17.180 there when you need him most just like a good neighbor state farm is there okay remember that

00:13:28.520 you can sing that everybody my age at least knows that like a good neighbor state farm is there

00:13:34.920 Listen to the sentence. It's a comparison. The company is the second thing. The first thing

00:13:43.980 is the standard. It's the gold in the vault that gives the whole line its value. Like a good

00:13:52.640 neighbor, you're going to have an accident. Wouldn't it be good to have somebody who's

00:13:57.180 your neighbor there to help you?

00:13:59.020 Yes.

00:14:03.080 Whoever wrote that assumed

00:14:04.980 you knew

00:14:07.780 that

00:14:10.800 this is true.

00:14:13.440 They assumed this so completely

00:14:15.160 they never bothered to explain.

00:14:16.880 Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

00:14:19.140 And that's what good advertising does.

00:14:21.280 It borrows something that you already own

00:14:23.780 and then it rents it back to you.

00:14:25.340 now let me tell you why i was thinking about this in church i live in a town of about 500 people up

00:14:32.980 here in idaho and out here that sentence still runs in the right direction because here's what

00:14:38.900 a farmer knows state farm insurance now they're talking about cars state farm insurance

00:14:47.540 you can do everything right as a farmer and still lose it anyway you can watch the sky for a week

00:14:54.160 pick your day. You cut the hay on Tuesday. Wednesday, it's raining. It wasn't in the

00:14:59.260 forecast. It's nobody's fault. The crop that was perfect is turning into garbage on the ground.

00:15:06.660 Too little rain, too much rain, not enough sun, price of the sale barn that somebody

00:15:10.780 in an office decided on Friday. Farmers can be so careful, skilled, hardworking, faithful,

00:15:17.200 up before the sun for 30 years and, you know, be four days from losing the place.

00:15:26.940 In farm country, insurance didn't start as insurance. It started as a promise. Did you

00:15:33.580 know that in the last half of the 1800s, the big Eastern companies would not write a policy on a

00:15:40.520 farm? Not at any price. No, you want a policy on your farm? No. Because the arithmetic was really

00:15:46.380 easy. Farm sat too far away from a fire department. So if your house catches fire, your farm, your

00:15:52.220 barn catches fire, by the time anybody arrived, there's not going to be anything left. So a farm

00:15:56.800 fire wasn't a claim. It was a total loss every single time. So they're like, no, we're not going

00:16:01.780 to ensure farms. No. But you couldn't live without some sort of backstop. So the farmers built their

00:16:09.160 own. Between 1870 and 1900, they organized about 1,100 farmers, county by county, township by

00:16:16.640 township, 30 men in a schoolhouse on a Saturday. Maybe they were meeting in the back of somebody's

00:16:22.780 store. Norwegians in one township, Germans in the next, church congregation in the one after that.

00:16:29.980 By the mid-1920s, there were nearly 2,000 of these communities that have connected each other.

00:16:36.260 and here's how it worked. You didn't buy a policy. There was no pile of money in a vault

00:16:42.020 waiting for you for a bad day. You signed your name to a piece of paper that said,

00:16:46.180 when one of us is ruined, I will pay my share. Then you went home and farmed. That was it.

00:16:52.600 If a barn burned, they added up what it cost and they divided it by the members and sent

00:16:58.080 everybody a bill. They called it an assessment. Now think what that is. A bill that arrives at

00:17:05.380 your kitchen table because your neighbor just had the worst day of his life and you pay it and you

00:17:10.100 pay it why you pay it gladly because the only reason your name is on that list is that next

00:17:17.240 spring the wind can turn and it can be your barn and 30 men you know by face will get a piece of

00:17:24.720 paper with your bad luck printed on it and they'll pay 1922 a guy puts this idea my wife might be

00:17:34.140 right? I wasn't listening. In 1922, there's a guy that puts this idea on wheels. He had farmed in

00:17:40.840 Illinois. He was 40 and his wife health turned and took him off the land. And he noticed that

00:17:50.060 the insurance farmers were charging a farmer's city rates to drive a car down a dirt road

00:17:55.340 that he had entirely to, he's not going to get an accident with another car.

00:18:00.160 And he thought, wait a minute, we're getting ripped off here.

00:18:03.600 This is a lie told with numbers.

00:18:06.320 So he builds a company, an old mutual model, owned by the people it insured.

00:18:11.060 No shareholders.

00:18:12.280 You had to buy a policy.

00:18:13.980 You had to already belong.

00:18:15.700 Farm Bureau, Farm Mutual, or the family of somebody who did.

00:18:21.680 Membership in the neighborhood was the underwriting.

00:18:24.460 He did one more thing that proved he actually farmed.

00:18:27.620 He let the premium come due when the crop check came, not in January, harvest time, because he knew what was in a man's pocket in March.

00:18:37.800 He called this company State Farm.

00:18:41.980 They didn't have this slogan back then.

00:18:44.620 The slogan came 50 years later when America had changed.

00:18:49.320 It was 1971.

00:18:51.660 Big New York agency.

00:18:53.500 They're like, how do we explain what this is?

00:18:57.620 Well, you know what it really is?

00:18:59.900 I mean, farmers are just good neighbors.

00:19:02.560 That's a good idea.

00:19:03.840 So they give this idea to a young piano player who is paying his rent.

00:19:08.220 He's an absolute nobody.

00:19:09.780 He's paying his rent by making jingles.

00:19:13.960 He sets him down 15 seconds of melody, and he gets $500.

00:19:20.240 No residuals, just $500.

00:19:22.040 And he was happy about it.

00:19:23.920 You've heard that 15 seconds more times than you've heard most of your friends' voices.

00:19:27.620 but the jingle writer at the time sang it and he did it once in concert all of the jingles that

00:19:35.600 he ever wrote and here's a clip of that compilation of all the jingles listen we forget

00:19:41.140 whenever you're driving and wherever you're about like a good neighbor

00:19:51.420 State Farm is there

00:19:56.640 State Farm is there

00:19:59.960 You recognize the voice?

00:20:02.560 That jingle writer was Barry Manilow, okay?

00:20:07.980 Look at the year.

00:20:08.620 By 1971, the company had to tell you what a good neighbor was

00:20:12.860 because most of the country that it was selling to

00:20:15.640 had moved somewhere else where nobody's barn was going to burn down.

00:20:18.980 The whole system of like a good neighbor had fallen apart because now people were starting to live in places where they didn't know their neighbor.

00:20:27.480 The sentence stopped being a description of how the thing actually worked and became a comparison to something we were already losing.

00:20:39.020 This was the system, the assessment system is merciless when it broke.

00:20:44.480 Bad year, everybody assessed, everybody was broke at the same time.

00:20:47.520 the Dust Bowl. Everybody went under, okay? And, you know, desperate men were starting to set fire

00:20:54.660 to their barns. We didn't abandon mutual aid because we turned wicked. We set it down because

00:20:59.700 something showed up that was better, and mostly it is. But look what came in the box with it.

00:21:05.860 When your protection is a promise from 30 men, you actually have to know 30 men. You have to know

00:21:13.660 which one is dependable, which one's

00:21:15.680 drinking, which one buried a child last

00:21:17.640 winter and just hasn't been right since.

00:21:21.600 The knowing wasn't a pleasant

00:21:23.380 side effect of the system. The

00:21:25.400 knowing was

00:21:27.360 the system.

00:21:29.920 Hand now the promise to a

00:21:31.460 company in a building three

00:21:33.260 states away that is just

00:21:35.340 looking at numbers. It does the job

00:21:37.520 efficiently.

00:21:40.260 But the problem is nobody

00:21:41.460 has to know anybody. That's

00:21:43.440 the trade. We traded the knowing for the paperwork. The paperwork is better, but the knowing

00:21:51.660 is gone. Out in this town that I'm broadcasting from now, about 500 people, they're not better

00:22:04.020 people. They're just closer to the edge and we see it and we know it. And so when a neighbor

00:22:12.420 is down with a broken hip.

00:22:17.180 They're down with a broken hip

00:22:18.420 and it's September.

00:22:19.360 Trucks show up in his field.

00:22:21.140 Nobody organizes it.

00:22:22.380 Nobody posts about it.

00:22:24.560 Somebody notices the hay

00:22:25.620 is standing too long.

00:22:27.020 Makes two phone calls.

00:22:29.500 The man who shows up

00:22:30.620 isn't a saint.

00:22:31.320 He's done the math.

00:22:32.940 He knows he can have

00:22:34.000 the best year of his life

00:22:35.060 and the next one

00:22:35.740 can take everything.

00:22:37.780 And he'd like a truck

00:22:38.720 in his field too

00:22:39.480 when that happens.

00:22:42.420 the question is, I guess, is do we need a hayfield for this?

00:22:50.640 Do we have to have a barn?

00:22:52.340 Do we have to be faced with being absolutely wiped out

00:22:55.820 before we look back to what worked so well?

00:23:00.380 And I'm not talking about insurance.

00:23:01.720 I'm talking about just being a good neighbor.

00:23:08.440 If you live in an apartment building with 400 people in it,

00:23:11.520 You're surrounded by weather. 0.79

00:23:13.660 The woman two doors down, whose car hasn't moved in four days.

00:23:17.560 The man whose recycling is all takeout now, who used to cook.

00:23:22.240 The kid in the stairwell.

00:23:24.660 At an hour, no kid should be in a stairwell.

00:23:27.500 The neighbor who stopped saying hello about three weeks ago, and you noticed, but you let it go.

00:23:31.720 That's hail on somebody's crop.

00:23:35.220 And nobody's going to mail you a bill for it.

00:23:39.580 Maybe that's the problem.

00:23:40.840 The bill is what used to make us look.

00:23:49.580 I know we are the people of 9-12, not 9-11.

00:23:54.560 We're the people of 9-12.

00:23:56.100 We're like a good neighbor, and we're there.

00:24:00.820 But I guess we were that lay on 9-12 because the bill came.

00:24:05.320 We stopped looking

00:24:10.720 I encourage you this weekend to look anyway

00:24:14.920 Knock

00:24:15.740 Ask a second question after somebody says

00:24:18.980 Fine

00:24:19.460 Because fine is what everybody says

00:24:21.920 Bring the thing over

00:24:25.280 Whatever it is

00:24:27.320 You've made too much of something

00:24:28.540 Bring it over to somebody else

00:24:31.600 Learn one more name on your floor

00:24:34.360 than you knew last month.

00:24:39.140 The sentence that I've been talking about

00:24:40.820 has two halves.

00:24:41.720 A company that has spent 100 years

00:24:44.100 and God knows how much money

00:24:46.600 holding up the second half.

00:24:49.120 And they've done it pretty well.

00:24:51.320 But the first half,

00:24:52.360 the important half was never theirs.

00:24:54.160 It's ours.

00:24:55.540 And it was never a slogan.

00:24:57.740 It was a job.

00:25:00.600 And it's always been done

00:25:02.080 by somebody who just noticed.

00:25:06.880 You had an accident?

00:25:10.240 Wouldn't it be better to have somebody there,

00:25:14.460 like a good neighbor, to help you through that?

00:25:18.760 Be there.

00:25:19.820 Just like a good neighbor,

00:25:24.680 State Farm is there.

00:25:32.080 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:25:44.540 You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

00:25:47.620 You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick.

00:25:51.360 You don't need a thermometer.

00:25:52.620 You don't need a doctor.

00:25:53.380 You just know, right?

00:25:55.300 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

00:25:58.220 But the hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

00:26:02.620 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

00:26:04.900 And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

00:26:08.600 That's why I advise you, prepare before the first cough starts.

00:29:11.260 yada yada yada now you know that now let me tell you the latest on macklemore macklemore

00:29:19.420 just announced out of the blue a new european tour where he's gonna go with his free palestine

00:29:41.200 so he puts a a world tour together starting when next week week after

00:29:48.540 who was doing this for the money your your career was absolutely nowhere so you took a guy who

00:29:59.080 trusted you who you know bands used to be grateful to the people who would give them a shot

00:30:05.380 to open up you know what i mean it was like when you were a when you were an opening band for a

00:30:11.300 big band that was like being on the carson show all of a sudden as a comedian all of a sudden you

00:30:15.580 were somebody you know you were on with jay leno and jay leno was gracious to you and he was like

00:30:20.560 wow i got the endorsement from the tonight show and you know that's great and they were gracious

00:30:24.660 and they were humble about it this guy oh my gosh this guy took ed show and his invitation and said

00:30:33.560 hey, Macklemore, I want you to open up for me.

00:30:36.300 What an honor, right?

00:30:37.700 I want you to open up.

00:30:39.340 And I know you're on hard times and nobody listens to you

00:30:43.120 and you're a has-been from about 15 years ago,

00:30:46.400 but I like you.

00:30:48.260 Why don't you come on and do, you know, you do the opening act.

00:30:51.360 And that guy thought to himself,

00:30:54.260 I might be able to revive my career, not by being good,

00:30:59.180 but by actually being so offensive

00:31:01.240 that I can create the conditions where Sheeran's got to kick me off

00:31:07.300 and I'll make a big deal and then I'll announce a world tour

00:31:12.840 because I'll look like a hero and I'll do the free Palestine tour. 0.51

00:31:20.760 I mean, you think Ed Sheeran felt raped before?

00:31:24.400 He's lost all of his friends, all these people walked out.

00:31:27.520 You think he felt bad before?

00:31:28.800 I actually feel really bad for him now, really bad.

00:31:34.060 You know, you invited somebody into your tent who just burned your house down for his own gain.

00:31:41.100 What a surprise a lefty Marxist, you know, free Palestine supporter would do that. 0.95

00:31:49.300 What a shock that they'd end up being a dirtbag. 0.66

00:31:52.880 It's amazing.

00:31:54.280 It's amazing.

00:31:56.360 Let's see.

00:31:57.060 There's also Caleb Flynn.

00:31:59.220 He's accused of murdering his wife.

00:32:01.060 Now, he was a guy who was on American Idol.

00:32:04.520 Do you know when, Ricky?

00:32:06.660 Did he win?

00:32:07.940 I'm sure he did not because his name is not familiar, but I'll look into that.

00:32:11.960 Okay, all right, okay.

00:32:13.040 No, no, no, it's fine.

00:32:14.340 I just didn't know if I was, you know, I don't recognize his name either.

00:32:17.680 But I just thought, well, I have a case of OLD.

00:32:21.420 And so he murdered his wife.

00:32:27.100 And now in the courtroom, they're playing these AI songs that he wrote for his mistress.

00:32:33.840 And they are being played out in the courtroom.

00:32:36.040 And people in the courtroom are having a hard time not holding back laughs because they are so bad.

00:32:41.980 And he apparently spent a lot of time on these AI songs.

00:32:47.160 And here's a clip.

00:32:48.420 And if you happen to be watching, look at the people in the courtroom.

00:32:53.500 Go ahead, cut five.

00:33:18.420 I love the jurors that are kind of just, or the people like her are just looking at each 0.99

00:33:35.340 other like, look at that lady with, how many people have a hand over their mouth? 1.00

00:33:39.780 Look at that lady.

00:33:48.420 Like the whole courtroom is just very, very uncomfortable during this,

00:33:57.920 and he's just sitting there stone cold.

00:34:01.640 You know, good for you.

00:34:02.860 Good for you.

00:34:03.320 You can write music, and you're going to have lots of time to write music.

00:34:07.360 You know, but if you would have just strangled your kids, 0.86

00:34:10.380 or if you could have said you were transgendered, 0.98

00:34:14.080 and she wasn't accepting of that,

00:34:16.580 you might have gotten away with it oh well um let's see what else is i want to play this

00:34:24.720 came out this week judge judy i love judge judy during a recent interview with usa today

00:34:30.380 she had a message for all those people who come to america and then complain about it

00:34:35.240 here it is judge judy next year and this gets political which i don't mind i have a house

00:34:43.100 and I have a home.

00:34:44.720 I consider America my home.

00:34:47.100 America has been good to me.

00:34:48.820 I think that it's the greatest country in the world.

00:34:51.680 If you don't like this country, go somewhere else.

00:34:54.440 Don't come to the greatest country in the world,

00:34:57.040 the most successful country in the world,

00:34:59.740 and say, I want to change it.

00:35:03.180 There are other countries

00:35:04.500 that are the something else that you want.

00:35:06.880 Go there.

00:35:07.480 We are a capitalist country that revered excellence,

00:35:12.480 that revered entrepreneurship, that revered all the things that made us great, that produced

00:35:19.320 an Apple, an Amazon, AI, whether you like it or not, it's there. It produced the salt vaccine.

00:35:29.220 It produced all of the major inroads in medicine. And we did that because we encouraged brilliance

00:35:37.420 and excellent we gave them those people a push we they weren't gifted classes which i know public

00:35:44.580 schools used to have now it's taboo everybody should be equal well everybody's not equal some

00:35:50.360 people are tall some people are short some people are musical some people are not some people have

00:35:55.240 big breasts some people have no breasts they're different i love her ricky we got to get her on

00:36:04.040 I'd love to do a podcast with her. 1.00

00:36:05.800 I would retire if we got Judge Judy for a podcast. 0.99

00:36:09.040 So no pressure to our booker. 1.00

00:36:10.300 Oh, please, Judge Judy, please come on. 0.82

00:36:14.480 Ricky will retire.

00:36:15.820 Okay.

00:36:16.300 She comes on. 1.00

00:36:17.360 Insane.

00:36:20.800 Ricky's been giving me a hard time.

00:36:22.320 She's been saying, you know, you should do good news, good news, good news.

00:36:25.000 And I start doing good news today.

00:36:26.260 And then she says, you should talk about Israel.

00:36:28.760 And, you know, your thought about how that's beginning of prophecy of people turning their backs on Israel.

00:36:33.600 And I'm like, that's not good news. 1.00

00:36:34.760 You should do that.

00:36:36.260 I mean, so, I mean, you deserve every moment of harassment you can get today, Ricky.

00:36:40.980 Every bit of it.

00:36:42.340 Can you just direct your harassment towards Mark Carney at some point, please?

00:36:48.600 Let me see real quick.

00:36:51.320 Oh, gosh.

00:36:53.060 The Mark Carney story.

00:36:54.300 Thank you, Ricky.

00:36:55.660 Jeez, I had to say thank you.

00:36:57.480 Mark Carney, thank you for the gong.

00:36:58.740 Mark Carney, he said that he's got to prepare for the possibility of U.S. military action against Canada.

00:37:10.420 How are you going to prepare for that?

00:37:12.760 Pack a suitcase?

00:37:14.820 How are you going to prepare for that? 0.97

00:37:18.680 He is absolutely deranged. 0.93

00:37:20.860 He is absolutely deranged. 0.89

00:37:22.340 There is no, this is the same people that were saying that he was going to send troops into Greenland. 0.67

00:37:29.420 Did he? No.

00:37:31.600 Is Greenland happy today? Yes.

00:37:34.520 Are the Danes happy today with a deal? Yes.

00:37:37.440 Is Donald Trump and America happy with it? Yes.

00:37:41.040 Okay, everybody won in that deal. Everybody won.

00:37:44.020 And it was people like Mark Carney that were saying, he's going to march in with troops.

00:37:48.440 No, he's not. No, he is not.

00:37:52.340 And he's not going to do it for Canada either.

00:37:55.120 And by the way, we could send our Cub Scouts up there and take Canada.

00:37:59.360 So please give it a rest.

00:38:01.540 Ricky.

00:38:02.300 Oh, yeah.

00:38:02.580 I just have to read a little section from the BBC that reports on this story.

00:38:06.120 And I don't know if they were trying to unintentionally be hilarious, but it is, quote,

00:38:09.820 any conflict would likely be highly unbalanced.

00:38:12.580 The U.S. military has more than 2 million active duty and reserve troops, while Canada

00:38:16.560 has fewer than 200,000.

00:38:18.620 And similarly, similarly, as of 2000, oh, you just moved the story for me.

00:38:22.520 But anyways, it's hilarious how they just took.

00:38:25.040 No, I have it.

00:38:26.280 Similarly, as of 2024, the U.S. possessed 65 military submarines compared to Canada's four.

00:38:32.620 So, yeah, it would be slightly imbalanced.

00:38:35.580 But we're going to make it fair.

00:38:37.320 We're going to send our Cub Scouts up.

00:38:40.720 It might take four days longer.

00:38:44.100 Still outcome.

00:38:45.780 But maybe you walk away feeling better about yourself.

00:38:48.280 We're not going to invade Canada. Knock it off.

00:38:55.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:10.680 Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day.
