00:00:00.000 you know the national anthem of canada is oh canada now it's kind of like oh canada uh we
00:00:12.160 get into canada on today's podcast also uh trans ignorance is not bliss you've heard that phrase
00:00:19.420 i'm sure a million times i'm gonna give you the uh we give you the origins of ignorance of bliss
00:00:25.460 and show you, no, no, it's not.
00:00:27.420 No, it's not.
00:00:28.740 And we talked to Carol Roth about the economy.
00:00:32.400 What can actually be done?
00:00:34.940 This is a great show.
00:00:36.120 You don't want to miss a second of it.
00:00:37.700 And this is the best of Glenn Beck.
00:00:40.620 you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:00:55.700 oh man uh whoo today's the day you should be an insider because everything's coming undone
00:01:09.920 careers are being destroyed uh as we speak ricky had one and we're not going to talk about it except
00:01:16.400 this ricky just had one of the funniest lines i've ever heard in my life the jason insulted me i came
00:01:23.520 back with a comeback and she said i don't even get that what would you say i didn't even get that
00:01:28.920 but it's well i said i had no idea what the insult meant but it was hilarious and that's not exactly
00:01:35.520 what i said but yes today is the day to become a torch insider because it's all off the rails
00:01:40.400 behind the scenes and a little bit in front of the scenes too yeah okay so go to glennbeck.com
00:01:45.960 slash torch join the fun join the family now uh all right let's see where do we begin should we
00:01:53.700 begin with canada by the way i kind of feel sorry for canadians because they're not in on the joke
00:02:03.340 and and then again i kind of feel sorry for us because we may not be in on the joke either
00:02:10.120 i'm not sure if the trump is going to change lake ontario to lake america he might he might
00:02:18.380 and even if he does it's hysterical it's it's it's it's it's hysterical that i mean i've never
00:02:30.100 seen a joke that can actually change maps but he has that ability to change maps somehow or another
00:02:38.700 we have that ability in the president that might be too much power i think that might be i mean i
00:02:43.720 don't know if really that that's the president can change the map okay uh but i saw him yesterday
00:02:49.760 and he's drawing him he's taking a map of of lake ontario and he's like yeah a lot of people think
00:02:56.800 I won't do it. I don't know. It's Lake America, Lake America. He scratches out Ontario and writes
00:03:03.160 America. Look, it's just that easy. It just requires a pen and it's Lake America. And I'm
00:03:08.940 thinking the guy is just trolling, just trolling Canada. It doesn't necessarily make me happy that
00:03:16.420 he does. I'm torn. The worst part of me is laughing my butt off because he's true. The
00:03:23.000 better part of me is like there's a lot of canadians that just don't need this there's a lot
00:03:27.940 there's a few that absolutely deserve it there's a lot of canadians that don't one of them that does
00:03:34.120 would have to be doug ford um he is the premier of ontario uh which is
00:03:42.440 i don't know a place up in canada and uh and uh he says that trump isn't being very nice i want
00:03:52.400 you to listen to this. When President Trump says we're harder to deal with than China, well, he's
00:03:59.180 treating China, communist China, better than he's treating his closest trading partner. So I, again,
00:04:04.880 I have all the confidence in the world that the Prime Minister and Minister Dominic LeBlanc and
00:04:10.880 the ambassador and everyone else at the table are going to fight. They're going to fight tough.
00:04:16.420 You're going to fight. They're going to fight tough. Yeah, you're so tough.
00:04:19.620 all the fighting canadians look out everybody um okay is he treating canada harsher
00:04:26.220 no no is he busy playing with um kid gloves with china compared to to canada yeah absolutely 0.82
00:04:38.040 you know why china can do something about it you can't you on the grand scheme of the world 0.95
00:04:47.300 I mean, I don't mean, I love Canada. 0.86
00:04:49.040 I love you.
00:04:49.700 I love you.
00:04:50.280 But let's be honest with you.
00:04:51.780 What, are you going to throw cheese at us?
00:04:53.760 Come on.
00:04:55.000 Come on.
00:04:55.800 Really? 0.93
00:04:57.060 You're not exactly a threatening, I mean, you're right next to, you're a little tougher than France. 0.59
00:05:04.120 But that's about it.
00:05:06.020 And so China, they've got nuclear weapons. 0.98
00:05:09.540 They're a sworn enemy of us. 0.99
00:05:12.640 Of course.
00:05:13.380 Yeah, we are going to be a little more vocal against you guys because, quite honestly, sometimes you're a little more vocal with your own family.
00:05:22.860 When a member of your own family starts to turn on the family and you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, what are you doing?
00:05:29.420 Yeah, I am going to be, because that person I know is an enemy.
00:05:32.720 I know you're an enemy.
00:05:34.500 You've been a sworn enemy of ours for a long time.
00:05:38.600 You've been saved for a while.
00:05:39.860 and then in 2027 we go in okay that's on the record with china canada you're like a member
00:05:49.440 of our family all of a sudden you're turning on us and you're like i like china more you wait you
00:05:55.760 what i mean do we have do we have the audio i'm not sure if we have the audio um where is it carny
00:06:07.300 in 2012 do you have this story it's not a clip it's just um it's just an old article that uh
00:06:15.260 ezra levant actually tweeted yesterday uh flashback from 2012 where you got it yeah i got
00:06:21.840 it bank of canada governor mark carney says even a slowing china offers vast opportunities to
00:06:28.660 canadian companies china economy expected to grow up a 7.5 percent this year but even at that rate
00:06:33.360 the country is injecting 600 billion US dollars in the global economy. Twice the United States
00:06:37.660 contributes to roughly the same as it did five years ago. There's a huge amount of growth that's
00:06:42.100 coming on. Carney said at a panel discussing a discussion at the conference organized by the
00:06:47.700 Canadian Council of Chief Executives, there is sustained opportunity. These are relentless
00:06:52.740 forces. He warned that Canadian multinationals are typically half as engaged in Asia as they are in
00:06:58.720 the seven other countries of the West. It's not too late getting a large share or more than our
00:07:04.540 share. And these opportunities from China is readily achievable. So he's saying that China
00:07:10.080 is at this inflection point and he's talking to the industry of Canada saying, you got to reorient
00:07:16.720 to China. Not, did he say orient? You've got to reorient to China away from America. Okay, Canada.
00:07:27.580 i mean i don't know yeah lake ontario to lake america is kind of like you know that's a slap
00:07:36.580 of this is you said this is your you're now your prime minister saying you know what we got to get
00:07:43.940 away from k we got to get away from the united states let's look at china i'm sorry i shouldn't
00:07:49.560 use a trump voice because it was much more like oh what we should do now is something incredibly 0.99
00:07:54.940 stupid we will shoot ourselves in the feet that's what we will do we will throw ourselves in with 0.99
00:08:01.500 the communist who will eventually march over here and we'll all be speaking chinese oh what a great 1.00
00:08:07.880 french idea i have now huh oh my god okay um now another story a citizen now this is a story from
00:08:18.920 CTV News.
00:08:23.940 Canadian television news or something.
00:08:26.660 I don't know.
00:08:29.200 A grocery store in Ottawa
00:08:30.900 has removed now its stock of California wines from its shelves
00:08:35.020 after customers raise concerns
00:08:38.160 it was not permitted to sell its products
00:08:40.960 because of an Ontario ban on the sale of U.S. liquor.
00:08:46.100 You know what?
00:08:48.920 when did wine drinkers become such?
00:08:56.340 I'm sorry, I can only think of a male body part right now.
00:08:59.360 I tried, I tried.
00:09:01.460 My brain is sticking at the male body part, 1.00
00:09:04.860 and I can't get beyond that. 0.82
00:09:06.740 So you know what I'm trying to say.
00:09:08.740 Fill in a better word for me,
00:09:10.500 because I just don't,
00:09:11.400 my thesaurus is not working today.
00:09:13.980 When did wine drinkers become snitches?
00:09:16.740 wine drinkers like wait a minute here we're not of course you know what I'm an alcoholic
00:09:23.160 and it started with wine but it really ended with whiskey and so maybe I'm maybe that's a
00:09:29.520 trade of whiskey drinkers that we just wouldn't snitch we would just be like I don't care where 0.88
00:09:34.040 that whiskey's from I want a bottle of whiskey give me my damn Jack Daniels but I guess wine 0.78
00:09:40.860 drinkers probably are a little snooty especially if you're from canada now in uh british columbia 0.97
00:09:46.580 there's a wine store up there that's like are you kidding me what wait we're not supposed to
00:09:53.080 sell american wine you know that's gonna hurt it's gonna hurt wine drinkers in canada why
00:09:59.480 because they put so much tax on canadian wine even with the tariffs it's better to drink american
00:10:08.860 wine. And by the way, Canadian wine? Does that sound good to anybody? Really? Canadian wine?
00:10:19.140 How do you make Canadian wine? You know, don't the polar bears eat all the frozen berries? I mean,
00:10:25.740 how are you making wine in Canada? Just sounds bad. It really does. Probably is bad.
00:10:33.760 So you got that going on in Canada.
00:10:36.960 Then you have the Washington Post.
00:10:40.120 Nearly one in three posts about Abu al-Sayyid from right-wing figures
00:10:46.860 mentioned Islam, Muslims, and Sharia,
00:10:50.280 according to the Post's analysis of conservative commentary
00:10:53.360 across social media, newsletters, and podcasts.
00:10:56.400 We're not talking about his ideology and his link with the DSM.
00:11:04.280 This is their genius.
00:11:06.040 They actually put people on to study everything that we're saying.
00:11:09.520 If I know what they're saying about him,
00:11:11.600 are they only talking about his Islamists' ties,
00:11:15.720 his ties to Hamas lovers?
00:11:21.980 Washington Post, let me ask you this.
00:11:25.840 we're not talking about DSA when we talk about Islamists?
00:11:31.660 I mean, what is the difference between an Islamist and a DSA member? 0.50
00:11:36.440 Honestly, at this point, it's called the Red-Green Alliance. 0.71
00:11:42.500 It's the same. 0.96
00:11:44.120 It's the same.
00:11:44.820 It's like, I will never, ever drive, I don't know, a Chrysler.
00:11:52.820 Do we make Chryslers anymore? 0.72
00:11:54.280 Or I only drive a Jaguar. 0.99
00:11:56.600 Isn't that the same damn company? 0.99
00:11:58.940 I won't drive. 1.00
00:12:01.920 I will not drive a Kia.
00:12:04.240 I will only drive a Genesis.
00:12:06.580 It's a Kia with a different name.
00:12:09.420 That's the difference.
00:12:11.160 DSA, I guess.
00:12:13.060 I don't know.
00:12:13.620 Is that the Kia or is that the Genesis? 0.99
00:12:16.940 And which one is the Islamist? 0.98
00:12:19.520 Is that the Kia or the Genesis? 1.00
00:12:20.960 I don't know.
00:12:22.440 They're one in the same.
00:12:24.280 so when we are talking about his islamist roots we're talking about the dsa at the same time
00:12:33.080 but you'll never get that i only taught that at a chalkboard oh i don't know in 2008 and you were
00:12:39.540 saying the same thing then they're not the same they'll never work together they're not the same
00:12:45.440 it's called the green red alliance they have the same goals they're working together they're sharing
00:12:51.260 funding hello but you're only the washington post so what do you know i have a question
00:13:01.180 this meta thing meta has settled landmark state child harm claims for 18 billion dollars 18
00:13:10.960 billion dollars you heard this story yet because kids were addicted to the internet you know some
00:13:18.620 of them killed themselves etc etc so all these states get together and i applaud the states i
00:13:23.040 do i applaud the states that did this but 18 billion dollars has anybody asked
00:13:28.520 where's that money going
00:13:32.780 18 billion dollars is a lot do you know that
00:13:39.020 the families are not going to get any of that money
00:13:44.180 that's that's all going potentially potentially i love that these states are going to use it for
00:13:53.580 youth mental health programs online safety education don't do drugs programs helping
00:14:01.680 parents and children navigate social media prevention programs in school counseling or
00:14:06.480 behavioral health services enforcement of children's online safety laws technology or
00:14:11.180 programs designed to protect minors online okay it it doesn't it doesn't have a a compensation
00:14:18.280 fund for any parent who is like i lost my child and you know or i i you know my child has had
00:14:26.680 therapy now and it's cost all of this money can i get some of that money from meta because it's
00:14:32.660 social media that really did this now no state's gonna keep it hopefully one of the states hopefully
00:14:38.900 one of the states will say, no, no, no, we're going to make sure that parents who have spent
00:14:44.400 a lot of money on going in and having to have therapy because of social media, wouldn't
00:14:53.300 it be nice to be able to say, hey, Meta destroyed my daughter or my son because they were trapped
00:15:00.300 in the wrong body for a while because of the social media craze, and now they get it, but
00:15:06.060 but they no longer have a wee-wee anymore.
00:15:09.700 So they're going to have a lifetime of therapy and drugs that they have to take now.
00:15:18.080 I mean, I would hope that a few states would say,
00:15:20.500 you know, we're going to have high standards on this,
00:15:22.200 but yeah, I think part of that should probably go to those
00:15:25.320 who are going to be affected for the rest of their life
00:15:27.540 on the wonders of Facebook and social media.
00:15:31.200 this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:15:37.000 here's a question that i want you to ask yourself if someone in your family got sick tomorrow or
00:15:47.020 there was a medication shortage or a natural disaster and it kept you from getting a doctor
00:15:51.480 for a few days what do you actually have that you need okay these are real possibilities now
00:15:57.540 That's just one of the reasons I like Jace.
00:16:00.340 They don't just tell you to be prepared.
00:16:02.080 They give you a practical way to do it.
00:16:03.560 Their Jace case puts emergency antibiotics and common medications in your home before you ever need them.
00:16:09.600 They have a kid case with pediatric medications specifically for children.
00:16:13.720 Their first aid packs are built for emergencies you hope will never, ever happen.
00:16:17.500 If you're not sure how to use the gear, Jace Plus gives you access to Pocket Paramedic.
00:16:22.400 It's a helpline.
00:16:23.340 They walk you through all those critical first minutes before emergency services arrive.
00:16:27.880 Be the person your family can count on.

00:16:50.220 So I want to, um...
00:16:53.180 Have you ever heard Ignorance is Bliss?
00:16:57.600 Ignorance is bliss.
00:17:02.360 Is it?
00:17:03.960 Is it?
00:17:04.520 People have asked me over and over again,
00:17:07.300 and I bet you've asked yourself this.
00:17:10.020 You know things that most people don't know
00:17:11.800 because you have been paying attention
00:17:13.340 and you read multiple sources
00:17:15.920 and you listen to multiple sources.
00:17:17.820 You don't just take it from me.
00:17:18.840 I hope to God you don't just take my word for things.
00:17:21.320 I hope you check out everything that I say.
00:17:23.060 um but uh you know so you because you're informed because you read multiple sources because you read
00:17:29.760 things from the left and the right you listen to the left and the right you you know things that
00:17:34.180 a lot of people don't know um and it's sad but no doing that is probably caused a lot of stress in
00:17:40.460 your life and a lot of angst in your life and i bet you've had times where you've thought you
00:17:43.760 know i don't even know if this is worth it is it better to know this stuff because i can't change
00:17:48.740 it which is a lie but you'll think that ignorance is bliss no it's not no it's not it's really not
00:17:56.640 let me let me tell you a story that now this is coming from um this is coming from moms of liberty
00:18:06.560 the parental rights group moms for liberty has filed a federal lawsuit against the school
00:18:11.340 district uh the chathams and their board of education for allegedly pushing secret gender
00:18:18.220 transitions behind closed doors okay there are activist school boards all across the country
00:18:24.900 that are interfering with the moral and religious development of impressionable kids suggesting that
00:18:32.920 to the children who are captive audiences that uh they're trapped in the wrong body and and then
00:18:40.040 they're helping them without the parents still after the supreme court ruling they're still
00:18:44.560 helping people without parental permission or knowledge, okay? And so they're going in and
00:18:51.100 doing all of these things that we know now are horrible, absolutely horrible. But are they
00:18:57.600 stopping? And are they ignorant? They're just ignorant. They're ignorant. They're ignorant of 0.99
00:19:01.780 what the truth is. They think they're right, but they're ignorant of what the truth is. 1.00
00:19:05.060 Let me tell you something. We've been here before. 1742, English poet named Thomas Gray,
00:19:12.420 He wrote a line about two schoolboys who don't know what's coming from them, where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise, okay?
00:19:23.460 139 years later, an American newspaper man picked up that line and pointed it at one man.
00:19:29.300 And this is how this became really well known, at least in America.
00:19:32.800 It was July 2nd, 1881, train station, Washington, D.C., Charles Gitao.
00:19:39.620 he steps up behind the president of the united states newly elected and fires at him twice
00:19:46.920 one shot grazes his arm the second one goes right into his back within minutes a physician arrives
00:19:54.900 his name is dr willard bliss now not doctor his title doctor was a given name it was on his birth
00:20:06.940 certificate from a mom who apparently had plans you are going to be a doctor so he becomes a civil
00:20:12.440 war surgeon he's well connected completely certain of himself okay he appoints himself the man in
00:20:20.640 charge and everybody for some strange reason just lets him do it okay garfield who is the president
00:20:26.760 was just shot his own physician was a woman named susan edson one of the first female doctors in
00:20:33.800 America, chosen by Mrs. Garfield and adored by the Garfield children. Okay. Also in the room
00:20:40.520 was Cilius Boynton, the president's cousin who had treated the family for years, knew the family's
00:20:46.200 stomach history, et cetera, et cetera. But Bliss walks in and just reassigns them to nursing duty
00:20:52.140 and doesn't listen to them. Okay. So for three months, he's reported to have taken their advice 0.98
00:20:58.640 exactly zero times three months for three months he tortures the president really how does he 0.97
00:21:07.060 torture the president he says i have to get this bullet out of him or you're gonna die
00:21:10.780 now the wound is about the size you know of a 44 unwashed instruments unsterilized 0.98
00:21:18.620 again and again day after day hunting for a bullet he was sure was on the right side he can't find it
00:21:27.620 entry hole again the size of a 44 by the end there was a channel that had been carved into
00:21:34.760 the president of the united states it was 20 inches long because he kept sticking instruments
00:21:40.660 into him trying to fight because i know it's there everything in the president that 20 inch
00:21:46.420 path all infected now here's the part that matters guy named joseph lister joseph lister
00:21:54.000 know that name if you've ever heard of listerine you know the name he published a paper on
00:22:01.660 antiseptus 16 years earlier and he was like look uh you got to have an antiseptic here you got to
00:22:09.300 wash these things you got to clear it out otherwise you'd get infected so in 1881 um some sort of a
00:22:17.380 medical acid was used at Massachusetts General, and most American surgeons, Lister had come to
00:22:24.720 America himself and lectured to physicians, and most physicians accepted it. Some of them mocked
00:22:32.780 him. Bliss was a mocker. Bliss was like, are you kidding me? Now, he had heard everything Lister
00:22:40.560 had said okay he was a guy who heard and knew better then another name you know alexander
00:22:49.300 graham bell he shows up bell had read about this in the papers and so he builds a machine
00:22:54.860 an induction balance it's the first really crude medical detector and he makes it you know with
00:23:02.540 the bed springs okay and it's for the sole purpose of finding the bullet in garfield he tested it on
00:23:10.660 civil war veteran carrying an old ball in his body and it worked so august 1st he comes to the white
00:23:15.540 house he stands behind the president with a receiver at his ear alexander grambell and bliss
00:23:21.920 says it's on the right and so he sweeps the right side but only the white side because bliss said
00:23:28.540 that's where it is alexander graham bell says it's not there i'm telling you it's not there
00:23:32.840 we should check the other side no you're not checking the other side it's there i've made
00:23:36.760 a 20 inch path into the president's body bliss i mean the bell said he heard something faint
00:23:45.140 but he wasn't convinced bliss went to the newspapers announced he had been right the whole
00:23:51.300 time. Garfield, in the meantime, went from 210 pounds to 130 pounds. You know how they fed him?
00:24:00.840 They fed him beef broth through enemas for 79 days. He finally dies of what? Infection.
00:24:13.760 The autopsy finds the bullet on the left side, behind the pancreas. It was actually walled off
00:24:20.060 in a protective sack it didn't damage any organ at all it had been harmless the entire time
00:24:26.160 most physicians looking at the autopsy since have said if nobody would have touched him if they
00:24:31.520 would have just patched the wound he probably would have lived in fact it was so commonly
00:24:37.280 known at the time that could tell the guy who shot him said at his trial yes i shot him but
00:24:43.380 i didn't kill him the doctor killed him they hanged him anyway and they should have 0.82
00:24:48.580 He wasn't wrong
00:24:51.280 Bliss sent Congress a bill for $25,000
00:24:55.140 Congress paid him $6,500
00:24:58.060 Now, the word the newspapers used
00:25:03.440 Was ignorance
00:25:04.500 He was ignorance
00:25:05.820 But the newspapers were being kind
00:25:08.120 Ignorance is not knowing
00:25:11.260 Bliss knew
00:25:13.440 The information was in print
00:25:16.380 In English
00:25:17.080 in his own profession for 16 years.
00:25:20.040 He had listened to the lecture, but he knew.
00:25:25.620 So what killed President James Garfield?
00:25:29.340 Wasn't a gap in the literature.
00:25:33.720 It was three things stacked together
00:25:35.720 and learn their shape because we've been here before.
00:25:40.560 I'm telling you about where we've been.
00:25:43.260 They take the same shape every time.
00:25:45.780 One, a man who's certain.
00:25:47.960 Two, a room where people who would contradict him
00:25:51.500 have been reassigned to fetch water or mocked.
00:25:54.660 And three, a machine that can check
00:25:57.320 pointed only where it's already decided where the answer is.
00:26:03.160 Okay?
00:26:04.420 Now, let me bring you back to where I started this story.
00:26:08.800 teachers school boards hospitals doing reassignment surgery we know for 15 years
00:26:20.600 american parents who have a struggling adolescent were told a specific thing by people in white
00:26:27.140 coats science is settled the treatment is safe and reversible and the alternative is 0.82
00:26:31.840 a dead child to question it and you weren't asking a medical question you were a bigot
00:26:37.800 you were shown the door you were cut out of the conversation then england went and checked
00:26:44.520 when alexander graham bell showed up they're like you know what i could check can i check
00:26:48.840 anywhere yeah dr hillary cass spent four years on it she commissioned the university of york to do
00:26:55.400 systematic reviews of the actual studies her final report came in april 2024 the evidence for puberty
00:27:02.060 blockers and these kids was in the end remarkably thin she said poorly designed studies no long-term
00:27:09.780 follow-up no demonstrated improvement in gender distress or body satisfaction and no support for
00:27:15.980 the claim that the drugs reduce suicide she found that social transition is not a neutral act
00:27:22.120 that it makes the medical pathway more likely and that a single focus on gender was crowding
00:27:28.520 out depression and anxiety and autism sitting right next to it so england does what they take
00:27:34.780 out the puberty blockers they're like no then travestock clinic it closes sweden finland norway
00:27:40.640 they've already pulled back their own but here at home checking has arrived not gently january 30th
00:27:49.200 of this year a jury in white plains new york awarded two million dollars to a 22 year old
00:27:54.680 woman named Fox Varian who had a double mastectomy at 16. The first detransition malpractice case
00:28:02.460 ever to reach a verdict in this country. There's two dozen more that are filed. In May, Texas
00:28:08.060 Children's Hospital, the largest pediatric hospital in America, settled with the Justice Department
00:28:13.200 and the state of Texas for $10 million and agreed to stop the procedures and agreed to build the
00:28:18.860 first detransition clinic in the United States. The Cleveland Clinic followed in June. Something
00:28:23.660 like 20 hospital systems have closed their pediatric gender programs. Same institutions
00:28:29.900 that told parents this was settled science are now building clinics to undo that settled science.
00:28:36.080 And I'm not sure if the Marxists win, they're going to stay there. Okay? I'm not sure that
00:28:45.100 that's actually going to happen. I think they could change back because this isn't actually
00:28:51.100 about science at all.
00:28:57.060 So this is the test.
00:28:59.060 Not who's right.
00:29:01.120 Everybody in every era feels right.
00:29:04.520 Instead, you should ask this one question.
00:29:07.760 What happens to the person who wants to check?
00:29:12.040 Bell was in the room.
00:29:13.900 He had the right machine.
00:29:15.320 It worked.
00:29:16.540 He was allowed to sweep the right side.
00:29:18.620 The bullet was on the left.
00:29:20.000 President of the United States died in a house
00:29:22.080 full of the best doctors in America
00:29:24.160 We've been here before
00:29:25.500 There's a bill in the congressional record
00:29:28.160 from 1881 to prove it
00:29:29.640 $25,000 submitted by a man who spent
00:29:31.940 79 days being certain
00:29:33.940 So ask about your church, your school board
00:29:38.340 your party, your doctor
00:29:39.540 You should ask it about me
00:29:42.400 Ask about the things you're sure of
00:29:46.300 Have I been allowed
00:29:48.380 to check the left side, the right side, the front, the back?
00:29:53.880 Is anyone being silenced?
00:29:55.400 Is anybody being shouted down because of their viewpoint?
00:30:02.380 It was printed in a newspaper about Dr. Bliss.
00:30:08.380 Ignorance is bliss.
00:30:10.740 That's how we in America, ignorance is bliss.
00:30:16.540 It's not.
00:30:18.380 ignorance is different than knowing and because you want to be right you have to be right
00:30:32.040 because it's your way or the highway that's not bliss that's malpractice that's not bliss
00:30:39.480 that's suicide back in a minute
00:30:43.060 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:30:49.900 a few years ago when the opportunity came to challenge roe versus wade the alliance defending
00:31:06.760 freedom was right there in the thick of it just a few months ago they won a major free speech case
00:31:12.320 at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of a Christian counselor, Kaylee Childs.
00:31:16.260 And they continue to take on the big business of our time,
00:31:19.680 defending women's sports, protecting parents,
00:31:21.920 pushing back against the expansion of mail-order abortion drugs,
00:31:25.180 and standing up for God's design for men and women.
00:31:28.220 These battles don't end when the headlines fade.
00:31:30.540 They continue in the courtrooms and the legislature
00:31:32.860 and the communities all across our country.
00:31:35.320 That's why Alliance Defending Freedom relies on people like you.
00:31:38.920 Your support helps them defend the God-given rights and freedoms that so many Americans have simply taken for granted until now.
00:31:46.340 For a limited time, every dollar you give to ADF will be matched.
00:31:49.700 That means $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, but only while the matching funds last.

00:32:05.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. 0.98
00:32:08.920 it's been an interesting day uh we've had technical issues i've got these stupid power 0.94
00:32:28.020 issues because i live off the grid up in the mountains i live off the grid and because i run
00:32:33.440 a business, we've had to have power generation, unlike most people have power generation.
00:32:40.340 But no matter how much it seems I spend on power generation, solar panels don't work.
00:32:49.560 It doesn't work. If you want to be a third world country, just tell everybody just solar panels
00:32:58.160 and windmills are the greatest thing. You know, we had a windmill up here. The damn thing blew
00:33:02.620 over in a storm we didn't even know it was not online anymore it was that effective okay and the 0.99
00:33:09.220 solar panels they don't work the technology is not right get into nuclear power america has got in
00:33:18.240 got to bleed the way again and get into nuclear power and the minute they start making i'm sorry
00:33:25.200 to say this all my you know neighbors because i swear to you we'll make it so you're the hair on
00:33:30.460 your cows won't fall out the minute they make small nukes i'm buying one i'm buying one and i'll 0.98
00:33:36.500 i'll i don't care we'll i'll i'll help power the whole town this is ridiculous ridiculous i live 0.89
00:33:44.900 in a canyon and uh you know it doesn't have any power so we have to generate everything ourselves
00:33:51.300 and no matter how much money you spend it doesn't seem to matter why because it doesn't work
00:34:01.200 oh god it's like you know what i'm gonna you know what let everybody get rid of your apple watch
00:34:08.020 we're going back to sundials when the sun isn't there you won't know what time it is
00:34:14.500 if it's cloudy you won't know what time it is if it's dark you won't know what time it is
00:34:21.020 i think we learned that a long time ago i don't know why we're still doing it anyway i digress
00:34:25.900 let me talk to uh carol roth by the way if you're an expert in any of this and i don't mean i've got
00:34:31.840 some harebrained idea i mean i want a scientist who can tell me what it's gonna take because
00:34:39.580 every two years i hear well it's gonna take this and i do it and it doesn't work or just a scientist
00:34:46.880 who says, Glenn, your instinct is right.
00:34:49.260 It doesn't work.
00:34:51.700 Anyway, Carol, welcome to the program.
00:34:53.960 How are you?
00:34:55.280 I'm great, Glenn.
00:34:56.220 You know, when you get your first mini nuke, 0.67
00:34:58.740 I'm going to start calling you Montgomery Burns
00:35:00.860 from The Simpsons,
00:35:01.960 and I'm going to expect for you to go walk around
00:35:03.500 going, excellent, all the time.
00:35:05.780 Excellent.
00:35:06.720 Excellent, Smithers.
00:35:07.840 It's excellent.
00:35:08.760 I have no problem being Mr. Smithers.
00:35:10.780 We are on the verge of really amazing technology
00:35:14.240 with these mini nukes,
00:35:15.920 And, you know, I got to tell you, Elon Musk is right. If we don't generate the power, chips don't matter. Nothing matters if we can't generate power. And we're not doing it. And thank God Donald Trump is in.
00:35:32.000 But the minute the left wins, the minute Congress changes hands, the minute we lose this president, if the next president isn't like-minded on energy, we lose.
00:35:43.320 We lose to China, and we can't do that.
00:35:47.480 Yeah, and the problem is that all the propaganda is coming from China and Russia and places like that that don't want us to win.
00:35:56.160 It's a complete and total propaganda war. And so you get people who hear words, whether it's data center or hyperscale or nuclear energy, and they don't take time to really understand what that means, what has existed in the past and what hasn't.
00:36:14.260 The biggest challenge I see, Glenn, is, you know, first of all, obviously, the political will and the propaganda, but then the level of expertise.
00:36:23.920 You know, we had all of these people who were experts in nuclear power who were retired off and, you know, sent to go do something else.
00:36:33.200 And so we don't have that knowledge base.
00:36:35.880 So that's something that our country should be cultivating yesterday so that when we do hopefully get the political will in short order to be able to do things that are critical for our continued growth and development, because energy is, you know, at the core of growth everywhere.
00:36:55.100 If you look at the countries that don't have access to energy, those are the poor countries and the ones, you know, the United States who uses the most energy we do because that is what powers us quite literally.
00:37:08.060 If you want to survive as a civilization, as a human, you need food, water, energy.
00:37:18.620 It's almost as if our government for the last 50 years has been against all of those things.
00:37:24.880 We're stifling our farmers.
00:37:27.660 We're roping off all of our water.
00:37:31.060 And we're killing ourselves on energy.
00:37:34.260 I'm so glad that we're changing.
00:37:35.720 did you hear yesterday i had uh donald trump on and we were talking about um uh the meat did you
00:37:41.780 hear this i heard a little bit of it yeah meat okay so meat production he was on and i said
00:37:48.200 mr president i wasn't planning on talking about this but you've got us you've got to break the
00:37:52.460 back of those four meat packing plants you got to make it easy for ranchers and communities to
00:37:57.540 build their own meat packing you know and it's all regulation and he said you think that would
00:38:03.680 change everything i said i know it would you got to change the regulation now the left has come at
00:38:08.340 me today and said glenn beck doesn't want any regular he wants poisoned beef nobody wants that
00:38:13.820 we just want reasonable regulation that is written for the common man not in favor of the giant
00:38:21.820 corporations go ahead go ahead i would say i don't know if you remember but the book that i wrote
00:38:29.760 that was sort of a takedown of COVID and what happened was called the war on small business.
00:38:35.360 And this has really been a long term push by big corporations to consolidate power,
00:38:42.320 because it's much easier if you are a lobbyist, you're a politician to go get money and support
00:38:48.800 from one big entity than it is to from, you know, hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of
00:38:55.320 independent-minded small businesses. So there has been a clear movement to try to make it difficult
00:39:02.960 for small businesses, which are the backbone of every country in the world, but particularly the
00:39:09.200 United States. It's 99.9% of all business entities. But it's so difficult. They put these regulations
00:39:16.120 in place, and we're not talking about regulations that would have beef be poisoned, but just simple
00:39:22.120 things to be able to open, to operate, you know, obviously not even in meatpacking, but like
00:39:28.840 something like in knowledge work. I mean, why is it that, you know, and this is state level versus
00:39:33.420 federal, but why isn't there a huge push to get rid of workers' compensation insurance for people
00:39:39.160 who sit at home working on their computers, Glenn? Why are we taking money from small business owners
00:39:43.900 and workers and giving it to insurance companies? I mean, across the board, the red tape, the amount
00:39:49.960 of difficulty. And when you have a president who is the small business president, and he said it's
00:39:56.740 Main Street's turn, I'm so glad that you told him that because it's critical. We need to get rid
00:40:02.380 of all of the red tape, the regulation, the total grift that is surrounding business so small
00:40:08.860 businesses can thrive. What kills me is if you are somebody who's looking into Marxism and you're
00:40:14.860 like yeah the problem is the man the problem is these corporations we i agree with you i agree
00:40:21.640 with you it's i'm not anti-corporation you might be i'm not not you but the you know person looking
00:40:26.660 into marxism might be anti-corporation i'm not but it is the same problem the and what marxists
00:40:33.920 want to do is grow the size of the government and the government collusion with the corporation
00:40:39.840 is the problem they want to marry those two that's that's the absolute wrong answer but we're both
00:40:47.320 identifying the same problem the answer is get it back closest to the people which is what they say
00:40:55.240 they want but they're going at the at the exact opposite and then they say glenn beck doesn't want
00:41:01.640 any regulation no that would be anarchy and i fight the anarchists you're the one embracing
00:41:08.900 the anarchists. Oh, my gosh. I can't take it, Carol. I know. It's you want to pull your hair
00:41:14.680 out. And some of this is, again, a propaganda problem, but it's based around language and that
00:41:21.020 they have bastardized key words. You know, something like, you know, free markets and
00:41:26.100 meaning capitalism. Oh, capitalism means you're trying to take advantage of people.
00:41:31.140 No, it doesn't mean that. It means that we have freedom and transparency and, you know,
00:41:35.500 millions of people making decisions every day. And that's how things are sorted out. Instead of
00:41:40.260 a central planning committee of a handful of people making decisions and having the power
00:41:44.880 and giving their cronies all of the benefits. And so it is frustrating because everybody sees the
00:41:51.100 problem. But those who are economically illiterate, they go in the wrong direction. And so they're
00:41:57.860 desperate and they believe, oh, there are unicorns. There are things that have never worked in history,
00:42:02.880 but it's going to work this time because it's different. And so, you know, our education system,
00:42:08.120 which obviously has intentionally been set up this way to make everybody economically illiterate,
00:42:13.960 so they don't fight it. But, you know, theoretically, that's where everybody
00:42:17.520 should be learning this stuff and understanding just basic economic common sense.
00:42:23.760 So I want to take a quick break and I want to come back. I want to talk to you about two things.
00:42:27.220 I want to talk about the lowest hanging fruit on affordability. One is education and the other is
00:42:32.860 housing and what the president can actually do and what we should be saying this is what we want
00:42:38.880 you to do because this actually changes things quickly lowest hanging fruit on affordability
00:42:44.700 carol roth if you don't get her newsletter you need to get her newsletter um you can get it at

00:43:00.460 and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:43:07.500 Hey friend, Dan Steiner,
00:43:09.040 president at Preborn here with a heartfelt thank you
