The big news today is the Trump-Putin meeting and now the Trump-Rest of the World meeting.
00:00:36.320
Is there progress being made to get a deal with Ukraine and Russia that they can agree to end the war?
00:00:56.400
Apparently I'm the new Big Bird if they're the new PBS.
00:01:06.560
But when pain is a constant companion, it is really hard to focus on anything else.
00:01:12.060
It's like trying to enjoy a sunset when somebody keeps tapping you on the shoulder.
00:01:18.460
I mean, you should sit here all day and just look at that.
00:01:23.460
Pain has a way of pulling you out of the moment.
00:01:26.840
You're playing with the grandkids or your kids.
00:01:30.780
But part of your mind is always checking on the throbbing back or the ache in your knee.
00:01:35.840
Relief Factor was designed to change all of that.
00:01:38.640
It's a daily supplement developed by doctors that targets inflammation that causes the pain in our body.
00:01:44.680
So you're not just masking it, you're helping your body fight it.
00:01:48.300
Because the best part of getting rid of pain isn't just feeling better, it's forgetting that it was ever there.
00:01:53.520
If pain is distracting you from your life, here's what you need to do.
00:01:57.380
Try Relief Factor and start enjoying the view again.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:37.820
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:02:41.860
Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:55.480
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:07.820
This is a really hard road to navigate because I am not a Putin apologist.
00:03:33.800
I think he's a guy who looks at the Cold War and says, well, that ended the wrong way.
00:03:40.840
He believes in, you know, the former Soviet state.
00:03:49.000
So I want to make sure that everything that needs to be said about Vladimir Putin is said because he is, you know, is a rattlesnake a good pet?
00:04:11.120
As long as you never forget it's a rattlesnake.
00:04:14.600
The minute you start treating it as a pet, like a puppy dog, you're dead.
00:04:25.580
As long as you always remember he's Vladimir Putin.
00:04:31.720
But I think, well, Jason, give me your view on Vladimir Putin and this whole situation.
00:04:39.340
Vladimir Putin, I believe is, I mean, I agree with you.
00:04:42.580
But I think that it's very rare in the world to have someone that sees the interests of their country and they're willing to take certain steps to ensure that their country is taken care of.
00:04:54.940
And what I mean by that is willing to just invade a country over it, willing to, you know, be a bloodthirsty killer over it.
00:05:04.360
It's even more rare to have the cartoon villain as a leader like Kim Jong-un.
00:05:14.260
It's also very rare for a country to ignore geopolitical laws and rules like a Hitler and go off and just try and, you know, conquer an entire continent.
00:05:26.160
Most of the people fall in line of someone like, I don't know, not sure the type of leader.
00:05:41.400
So what you can always expect from Vladimir Putin is he is willing to do the things to ensure the safety of his country from however he seems to fit.
00:05:56.280
So that's, there's ways that you can predict how this is going to go based off of those rules.
00:06:03.720
So when you're looking at this, how do you think this is going to go?
00:06:10.580
So I think that Vladimir Putin initially wanted to just take all of Ukraine because that solved most of their issues.
00:06:19.760
If you look at a map, you know, the border of Ukraine and Russia is just a couple hundred miles from Moscow.
00:06:25.600
So for us, in our own perspective, that's like accepting nuclear weapons in Havana.
00:06:35.540
So it was a geopolitical, you know, paramount for him to take Ukraine.
00:06:41.440
So now what he's looking at, I need some kind of buffer so armies can't go through Ukraine, NATO armies can't go through Ukraine and get to Moscow in an hour.
00:06:52.140
So what he's building here, I think, is that now he's established a buffer.
00:06:56.780
Now what he's looking for is an excuse to give to his people, look, he'll say the special military operation, that's what he loves to call it, it succeeded.
00:07:10.320
Now what he also has to leave open for the Europeans and for Ukraine is a way to also say, we won.
00:07:19.300
If both sides can do that, and I think we're getting hints that we're getting close to that.
00:07:23.740
The Article 5-like security, if it's real, if it's real, that's big.
00:07:29.760
Zelensky saying, you can't have territory that you haven't already conquered, as you pointed out.
00:07:37.100
That means that he might be willing to accept Crimea going their way and other of those areas providing that buffer zone.
00:07:42.520
And there is a new pullout that shows from Ukraine that the Ukrainians don't want to give any land back.
00:07:49.920
But Stu, who is so good at reading polls, that's not exactly what it says, is it?
00:07:55.620
The poll actually is they don't want to give up more land that has already been occupied.
00:08:05.200
And I think that's going to be a problem because, I mean, Putin seems to want additional land, including like these two cities that are central to the defense of Ukraine.
00:08:15.540
So that is going to be a real problem in the negotiations, whether they can parse that somewhere or not.
00:08:19.460
Because if they're not occupied, I think that's where Trump is trying to push them.
00:08:30.740
I think that's where Trump is trying to push them.
00:08:36.520
I think the Ukraine, I think Ukraine would, you know, a lot of different parts of this negotiation have to go a specific way.
00:08:45.980
But I think there's a world in which Ukraine accepts that.
00:08:49.220
The problem is, at least at this point, Russia seems to be asking for more than that.
00:08:54.100
They seem to be asking for multiple cities and areas that they do not currently occupy.
00:08:59.080
They want that entire Donbass region, which would include land they don't have.
00:09:06.320
If you look at a map, he wants the area from right where you see Belarus and Ukraine connect.
00:09:11.560
He would love to have that area all the way down the coast of Crimea because that's the full buffer zone.
00:09:22.460
That's where Marco Rubio is like, everybody's going to have to give up something.
00:09:25.220
And, you know, I think if Ukraine can live with they conquered this land, they're in this land, and we're just drawing a line there.
00:09:36.380
I think Putin should be willing to accept that.
00:09:42.480
It's not what he wants, but he would be willing to accept that because it does give him the buffer zone, does it not?
00:09:51.240
It's not the full buffer zone that he would like, but it is a buffer zone.
00:09:55.040
Nobody is going to get everything that they want.
00:09:57.780
And I think the polling shows that that is seemingly acceptable to the Ukrainian people, that if you don't, if you're occupying it right now, you've got to keep that.
00:10:12.640
And then Ukraine gets the Article 5, which is what they said.
00:10:23.020
They wanted protection from Russia, and they wanted to join NATO.
00:10:27.260
The reason why they wanted to join NATO is because they wanted the Article 5 protection.
00:10:31.600
If Russia comes in, then that triggers NATO to come in and fight the war against Russia.
00:10:44.500
Russia, at a very high cost, gets most of what they want in the buffer zone.
00:10:56.380
And it also sets – and this is far from over.
00:10:58.600
So let's say there's some guarantees that last for five, ten, whatever years, how many ever years.
00:11:03.180
Both sides are going to be looking to play the Chinese perspective on this.
00:11:06.260
And I say Chinese perspective because if you look at how they treated Taiwan, the Chinese reluctantly gave up Taiwan.
00:11:12.420
And we were involved providing security guarantees.
00:11:18.100
That's how both sides have to be looking to play the long game.
00:11:30.360
You can look towards maybe taking back that land in some way in the future.
00:11:34.840
But this is what you accept now and set up this game of chess for longer.
00:11:39.580
And now at least you're not losing 1.5 million people.
00:11:49.980
Are you guys – do you guys believe, are you confident in the idea that Vladimir Putin has accepted this pseudo Article 5 opposition?
00:12:02.080
I just – I have not heard him say that until I hear – because I've heard Trump officials say it.
00:12:08.320
But I am skeptical that he's actually agreed to this.
00:12:11.340
I just haven't heard – until I hear him say it.
00:12:14.100
So when I played – could you play that Trump sound that we played, cut three?
00:12:23.140
There were many, many points that we agreed on.
00:12:27.400
A couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there.
00:12:38.440
We have some things where we've made agreements and then we've really made some headway.
00:12:45.040
I think that's what he's talking about is the Article 5.
00:12:49.060
And then one of his spokespeople come out and say it's Article 5.
00:12:55.280
We're willing to do the Article 5 thing because that's Trump speaking it into existence.
00:13:00.120
He didn't say it with Vladimir Putin standing next to him because they're still working on it.
00:13:06.500
And I'm sure Vladimir Putin or somebody else is going, no, I'm not really sure about that.
00:13:10.940
And so he has one of his people floated out there to see the reaction and speak it into existence.
00:13:23.040
Because I think that is, if he can get that done, if he can get Russia to accept that, that's enormous.
00:13:33.300
And I'm of the opinion that Putin has agreed to that in some way because Putin is very quick to put these things down, especially to his own people,
00:13:41.740
especially if he thinks that he's going to lose public opinion within Russia with ordinary Russians.
00:13:49.860
Plus, I think that – I personally think that a line from Donald Trump is about territorial concessions.
00:13:55.200
I think that is the major sticking point on this.
00:13:57.720
And that's what he's going to have to go back and forth with the Europeans today and Zelensky on.
00:14:05.080
Do you know enough about where everybody is going to come down?
00:14:09.060
I mean, I'm sure Maloney is going to come down with Trump.
00:14:20.600
It's very hard to predict on the European side because they have more skin in the game on this.
00:14:26.700
But you get – if you can get the Article 5, that's what they've been wanting.
00:14:36.660
You know, it's weird because you know what the press is going to say.
00:14:39.680
If he gives up land and we have the Article 5 and he gets that deal done,
00:14:47.820
the press is going to call him Hitler and Neville Chamberlain at the same time.
00:14:55.940
It will be like, it's Hitler and Neville Chamberlain.
00:15:04.900
Every time you fire up the grill, you're making a choice.
00:15:07.880
You're making a choice where you can either support the billions of pounds of foreign meat
00:15:12.540
that is coming into this country, meat mysteriously stamped product of the U.S.
00:15:16.860
You should not be able to put that little flag on beef that is coming from elsewhere.
00:15:27.060
So you can't trust that that's coming from America.
00:15:30.300
And the reason why is, A, you want to know exactly what's in your beef.
00:15:34.220
You want to know that it is 100% born, raised, and harvested here in the United States because
00:15:40.320
that is really, really important, not only because of the quality, but also because we
00:15:49.240
Why are we, so to speak, farming this out to other countries?
00:15:56.460
So here's what I would like to recommend that you maybe do.
00:16:12.960
And if you use the promo code BEC today, you're going to get $40 off plus free meat for life.
00:16:21.540
Use the promo code BEC and you get that $40 off plus the free meat for life.
00:16:25.400
When you start a new subscription, it's GoodRanchers.com.
00:16:38.900
Well, looking at the president's schedule, it looks like he's going to be a little busy today.
00:16:50.080
He's got to take around two o'clock in the afternoon.
00:16:54.220
He first meets with Zelensky, I think at one, for one-on-one bilateral talks.
00:17:01.140
Then he's going in and he greets the leaders in the state dining room.
00:17:05.700
And then I think he takes some pictures with their families, et cetera, et cetera.
00:17:09.640
And then they go into serious meetings about that around three o'clock in the afternoon.
00:17:13.540
And, of course, you'll get all of it covered on MSNBC later today.
00:17:18.320
Well, I don't know if it'll be covered on MSNBC.
00:17:36.580
It's jarring to lose that close working relationship, which is how it started between Microsoft and NBC.
00:17:49.420
And Microsoft has been out of this for a long time, haven't they?
00:17:52.920
They've been out of it for a long time, but they kept the MS in there.
00:18:02.280
I think most people that wouldn't remember it would be shocked to realize that Microsoft was once a big part of this.
00:18:10.020
It was supposed to be, I think it was the first embrace of digital at that level, right?
00:18:18.940
There's nothing that says credibility more than the mainstream media and Bill Gates.
00:18:25.660
When you put those two things together, you know you got something special.
00:18:34.040
Like, hey, we even can't have our name on that.
00:18:37.320
So NBC is spinning off MSNBC into its own separate company.
00:18:41.740
They're apparently hiring right now because they're losing access to the NBC news room.
00:18:46.380
So they need to hire a whole new batch of horrible journalists that make a mockery of the profession to bring over there.
00:18:58.680
This is the first date they're announcing the new name.
00:19:02.380
Let's see if I can find when that actually happens.
00:19:05.600
It launched, by the way, in 1996, in case you were wondering how long this thing's been around.
00:19:14.260
It actually had some credibility at the very beginning.
00:19:28.880
But it's left-leaning the way you'd expect every other piece of crap mainstream broadcast to be.
00:19:36.700
It was left-leaning but not necessarily completely insane.
00:19:40.300
Now, both of them since then have gone completely insane.
00:19:42.980
And, you know, they went through the Keith Olbermann period.
00:19:45.860
And, I mean, they've gone so far off the rails, obviously, at this point.
00:20:17.740
MS hasn't been a part of MSNBC since the turn of the century.
00:20:34.040
They're like, we can just cut those two letters out of everything and just put O-W there instead
00:20:41.640
Now, other than the fact that MS Now sounds like a plea for multiple sclerosis, do you want
00:20:55.520
to take a venture, I guess, as to what this actually stands for?
00:21:25.640
Because I think it's going to be highly entertaining.
00:21:40.640
So we have, do they have cavemen working at their ad agency?
00:21:59.660
I mean, I will say the IQ level is about there.
00:22:08.520
Now you're a guy who's, who's done this, right?
00:22:12.120
You've, you, you, the blaze, you came up with the name of that.
00:22:16.260
GBTV before the torch, the torch coming soon to a, to you.
00:22:21.080
Uh, you also have, uh, many, uh, radio stations that you programmed back in the day where you
00:22:28.820
And so if you're looking at all of that as an expert in this field, how would you grade
00:22:55.700
But they're trying to obviously bridge that gap to, Hey, this is what we've always been.
00:22:59.080
So you get into MS, gives you a little bit of familiarity.
00:23:02.700
So it's going to be, it's a, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:23:12.400
I think they're trying to keep the MS as something, you know, again, that only people think of
00:23:28.020
However, the only thing you'd rather, they'd rather have you think of a debilitating disease.
00:23:35.240
That is a, that is better than their reputation.
00:23:38.660
The other thing you could look at it if you wanted to, they could go the feminist direction
00:23:51.340
Is that a, that sounds like something they would love because it's indicates to me,
00:23:57.940
it's an absolute guaranteed flaming, just ball of death as it hits the, as it hits the
00:24:10.220
MS now that just sounds like something that like, yeah, we should do that.
00:24:14.400
And everybody else is like, no, you're going to crash this plane into the side of the mountain.
00:24:21.700
The plane has only been flying like two feet off the ground for many, many years, but yes,
00:24:29.840
Now actually being the way they go, which would be even more comical, though that would require
00:24:35.780
I think in theory to define what a woman is, if they went with Ms.
00:24:55.180
They initially said they would be keeping its name, but then during the transitional period,
00:25:00.540
they decided that they needed a new separate identity.
00:25:04.240
So can I ask you, who's making these decisions in hiring?
00:25:13.860
We're going to staff and design our competitor.
00:25:22.180
One of the statements I saw said NBC Universal decided.
00:25:26.400
So I guess because they haven't fully spun off yet, they actually are making these decisions.
00:25:33.720
So they're just spinning it off, but they're keeping, are they keeping it in the Universal
00:25:41.720
I think it's going to be sold separate, separate company.
00:25:55.860
Al Gore would not sell Current TV to Glenn Beck because I was so un-American, in his own words,
00:26:08.360
You know, the company that bought it with oil money from Al Gore.
00:26:23.320
Why would you buy something that NBC created that, I mean, so wait a minute.
00:26:30.800
You hired everybody, but you hired them because you wouldn't give anybody on NBC a role there.
00:26:39.960
You find anybody good, you'd be like, yeah, save those guys for NBC.
00:26:47.860
That's what we're calling it from here on out, Stu.
00:26:54.680
Now, remember, too, at one point, Elon Musk contemplated the potential purchase of MSNBC.
00:27:09.840
You know, I'd like to do that, and I'd like a printing press, too.
00:27:17.280
I just, I will say, and the color scheme and, like, the logo is really basic.
00:27:25.160
And this is going to go, I think, poorly, Glenn.
00:27:34.260
When MSNBC is designing something that you think might be worse than MSNBC.
00:27:44.440
If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything, Glenn, including making MSNBC even
00:27:52.020
Honestly, it would be like, okay, all right, let's hire a bunch of lefties.
00:27:59.500
We're going to lead with, oh, my gosh, look at that.
00:28:04.160
We're going to lead with guy cheerleaders and communism.
00:28:13.300
I mean, that sounds like something I would design for them to either make fun of them
00:28:21.520
Do you remember when I told you I went to that opera called The Nose?
00:28:27.560
And it was, honestly, it was, I don't even know what the story was, but it was, the main
00:28:35.560
So it's a giant nose with feet coming out of the nostrils.
00:28:39.600
And I said, at the time, I said, this has to be, this was written by somebody who was
00:28:52.000
But I'm going to say, oh, no, you just don't get it.
00:28:54.660
You don't get the nose with the feet coming out.
00:28:59.980
And they sold it just because opera snobs didn't want to say, I don't get it.
00:29:07.760
I think this is what, I think that's what this might be.
00:29:10.760
This is just might be a play on like, how bad can we make this thing to see if we get
00:29:28.780
You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever
00:29:35.920
I'm sitting here with the CEO of PragerU, which we all know if you watch CNN or you saw anything
00:29:46.100
from Vox, they are the new PBS there, which I think because Marissa Stride is the CEO,
00:29:53.900
she's up here at my ranch because we're filming some stuff for PragerU kids, right?
00:30:08.240
So they're claiming that you are becoming the new PBS because you're going after our kids.
00:30:16.480
Can you just, first of all, do you get any money from the federal government?
00:30:29.040
Doesn't that automatically disqualify you from being PBS?
00:30:35.940
I mean, I think the big thing about PBS is they're taking our federal dollars and using
00:30:42.120
it in ways that I don't necessarily agree with and they can make money on their own.
00:30:46.520
So I don't, I think the press misses what the problem is with PBS.
00:30:52.700
So tell me about what you are doing right now because there's several things.
00:30:57.180
First of all, let's start with the 250th anniversary.
00:31:06.680
And so in some ways they're comparing us to PBS because of that, because we believe that
00:31:10.680
learning should be fun and it should be entertaining.
00:31:13.600
And that oftentimes when you're entertained, you can learn.
00:31:16.880
And so in that way, we are somewhat similar to PBS.
00:31:21.860
But what we are doing is we're celebrating America.
00:31:25.500
America has never been perfect, but it's the greatest country on God's green earth.
00:31:30.480
And when we are teaching kids to grow up and not love their country, it is causing so many
00:31:38.880
It's a mental health health issue for our children.
00:31:41.900
And so we are taking this opportunity for America's 250th birthday to just reignite patriotism
00:31:49.240
and give some perspective that yes, America has its blemishes.
00:31:54.220
But America is a great country and has been a leader in greatness for so many years.
00:32:01.700
And so what we are doing is we're creating content for every single learner, four years
00:32:07.260
old, all the way through 104 to remember what our country is about, what our DNA is.
00:32:14.840
And the nice thing is, is that it is, it's actual history.
00:32:19.840
I mean, we, we caught something, uh, yesterday or working on several of these, um, uh, videos
00:32:26.360
that are going to be used in AP classes, right?
00:32:34.260
I mean, look, so many Americans are learning history through the lens of Howard Zinn.
00:32:39.440
Uh, for those who don't know who Howard Zinn is, I think he categorically destroyed the,
00:32:51.480
Not all of it was a lie, but it's the footnotes.
00:32:54.220
It's, it's, it's without the greater perspective of, of what America is.
00:32:59.260
And so we are taking American history and we're making it fun and engaging.
00:33:03.980
And so that students who would watch this course that we're creating together will not learn,
00:33:09.460
not only learn the truth about America, but we'll have a perspective and enjoy doing it
00:33:17.620
And it's really amazing because we're not avoiding the bad stuff.
00:33:24.580
Um, and you know, I saw somewhere I read, you know, they, they were accusing you guys of,
00:33:29.140
uh, PragerU is dismissing slavery and saying it's no big deal.
00:33:33.000
And I'm like, on what planet, in what parallel universe is PragerU saying that?
00:33:38.200
Well, what, what they're saying is we made a video that teaches about Christopher Columbus
00:33:42.740
and we basically paraphrased what he would have said to two young kids.
00:33:47.640
And from Christopher Columbus's perspective, he probably thought that slavery was okay because
00:33:55.780
And so because we had the cartoon, Christopher Columbus say, oh, I think slavery is okay.
00:34:02.380
And then the kids responded back to him in this show that we made.
00:34:10.860
We know today that it was a terrible thing that the world engaged in slavery.
00:34:15.700
And then Christopher Columbus in this cartoon responds and says, oh, wow, I don't, I didn't
00:34:22.160
That is why we are being attacked because we are paraphrasing what Christopher Columbus
00:34:32.800
They're claiming that PragerU is claiming that slavery was okay because the character in
00:34:39.680
our cartoon, that character, Christopher Columbus said it was okay.
00:34:45.400
I think this stuff is coming undone quickly and they're panicking.
00:34:51.520
These teachers are moving from, you know, uh, deeply blue states into red states and the
00:34:58.260
states rightfully, you know, are saying, uh, we, we don't want any of that California
00:35:03.080
crap in our schools, but they're, if they're licensed to be a teacher, they can teach anywhere,
00:35:08.500
but that's now changing because states are saying, no, you're coming from California.
00:35:14.740
I want to make sure that you know, the things that, you know, are true and we're not having
00:35:22.700
This test that you're giving now, uh, and you've been asked by the states to develop this
00:35:27.660
test and it is so to me, first grade kind of questions.
00:35:33.840
I can't believe there is a problem with this at all.
00:35:48.980
The fact that the media and the administrators of woke schools are squealing over this test
00:36:01.320
In California, teachers are required to take a course called the PRISM test.
00:36:06.380
Uh, I, I like to call it the prison test because frankly, I think teachers should go to prison.
00:36:14.080
The PRISM test is given to Californian teachers to, it's, it's not a test.
00:36:20.120
It's a six part course that teaches a teacher how to not differentiate between a boy and a
00:36:25.460
girl, how to actually bring all of this sexualization that we've been complaining about.
00:36:31.320
And so it's not just superintendents of education that have approached us with questions.
00:36:41.940
Parents are coming to us and saying, well, we don't know if we can trust these teachers
00:36:45.720
We're going to send our kids to our schools and, and have a teacher that can't pass a
00:36:49.640
basic civics test that can't pass a basic literacy test that can't pass a best basic understanding
00:36:58.160
So superintendent of education, Ryan Walters of Oklahoma approached us and said, can you
00:37:03.820
Because the complaints are coming in when parents are sending their kids to schools where teachers
00:37:10.120
who have come in from California and New York are in charge of a classroom and are bringing
00:37:15.180
in the woke indoctrination that they've received in California.
00:37:20.220
Any idea how many teachers are failing this test?
00:37:26.300
So this is a brand new test, but I can tell you how many teachers have been forced to pass
00:37:31.080
the PRISM test in California, almost every single one of them.
00:37:35.020
So listen to some of these questions, Stu, this is multiple choices, not a setup.
00:37:42.480
What's the primary, this is the first question.
00:37:44.640
What's the primary biological distinction between males and females?
00:38:02.900
At birth, how is a person's biological sex typically identified?
00:38:16.100
D, visual anatomical observation and chromosomes.
00:38:21.040
I mean, obviously the answer is D, but I would say a lot of people on the left would say B,
00:38:29.900
I mean, you know, this only gets, this only gets hard if you are completely disconnected
00:38:40.920
I have spoken to pediatricians and doctors, frankly, from all over the country who are forced
00:38:46.360
to erase the question of whether they have a boy or a girl in the medical charts when they're
00:38:54.140
So, this is not just a problem in schools, but this is a problem in pediatric offices as well.
00:38:59.360
So, yes, sadly, we are living in the twilight zone where teachers have to be taught very
00:39:10.240
Name one reason the colonists fought the British.
00:39:21.520
D, protest high British taxes without representation.
00:39:24.900
I mean, honestly, fifth graders, in my day, fifth graders would be able to take this, you know,
00:39:38.180
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Greg Washington, or George Washington?
00:39:48.440
Ended prohibition, freed Confederate generals, freed the slaves in the North, freed the slaves
00:39:55.980
Honestly, you cannot be a teacher if you don't know these things.
00:40:01.380
And as much as we're giggling about it, and, you know, it sounds funny, but it's really
00:40:09.700
Part of what this test is doing is it's actually recalibrating what is happening in the classrooms.
00:40:14.980
It's reminding teachers to focus on what matters.
00:40:19.260
It's reminding teachers to actually look at the world through common sense, a lens of common
00:40:25.180
And sadly, the teacher indoctrination centers, which is basically the teacher seminaries,
00:40:30.340
the colleges for teachers, have been turning the world upside down, and they're training
00:40:36.720
these young teachers to go into our classrooms.
00:40:43.040
The problem is the Marxism that they're being taught.
00:40:47.720
Talk to me a little bit about Hungary, because you just got back from Hungary, didn't you?
00:40:55.520
So what is happening now is the world is realizing that there's a real attack on common sense
00:41:07.120
And PragerU, through our edutainment model, has been successful here in the United States.
00:41:13.340
I mean, as you could see, CNN, New York Times, they're all upset that we're becoming the new
00:41:19.100
And we don't want to just create a system that helps America.
00:41:25.380
We want to create an industry that helps the world.
00:41:31.660
And so when other places, when other countries approach PragerU and say, hey, how do we do
00:41:39.400
And so we have created now a training system for other countries so that they can bring
00:41:46.660
these wholesome, patriotic values to their own countries.
00:42:01.380
For a very long time, I hate to say this, over the last 10 years, America has been exporting
00:42:11.320
It's been propagating a lot of this gender blur stuff.
00:42:15.020
And to countries that were dead set against it, but were starving, you can't get the aid
00:42:23.400
We've been bribing other countries to do the wrong thing.
00:42:30.640
And so we feel that as an organization that is helping save America, we are trying to undo
00:42:39.460
And if we can train other countries to undo the damage, then that's what we're there for.
00:42:44.780
Do you base that on their stuff, or do you base that on the American understanding of freedom?
00:42:51.040
So we have a set of values at PragerU, which is what we call the American DNA, our understanding
00:43:00.600
We are not looking to export American ideas to other countries.
00:43:05.060
What we are looking to do is teach them the model of how edutainment works and to teach
00:43:11.540
them a model of how PragerU follows its values.
00:43:16.300
Now, many of them, and we do make sure that the folks that we're working with do honor
00:43:23.000
We're not going to train a bunch of Marxists in doing so.
00:43:25.880
And many of them are using some of our videos as a baseline for teaching.
00:43:33.660
And I am so proud to partner with you and to call you friend and Dennis the same.
00:43:46.260
For those who don't know the background, he fell down.
00:43:51.580
The spinal cord injury is at the top of his spine.
00:43:54.440
And so it makes it very, very difficult for him to breathe.
00:44:00.420
It's been already nine months that he's been laying down.
00:44:06.040
But he has the good news is he just completed another book.
00:44:17.400
By the way, if you want to give to PragerU, Mercury One has given to PragerU.
00:44:25.980
I mean, I really, I believe these guys really are saving the republic.
00:44:31.720
This month, they are doing a matching dollar for dollar.
00:44:35.200
So you give a dollar, somebody else will give a dollar to match it.
