The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： President Donald Trump ｜ 8⧸26⧸26

00:00:00.000 well we begin the podcast with president donald trump he joined the show today and it was a

00:00:10.260 fascinating conversation uh i mean really we got we barely got off the air today and already all

00:00:18.520 the news reports out of what he said because he said a lot you don't want to miss that full

00:00:23.280 interview in its context. Also, what I would tell the president about what he is doing,

00:00:33.440 he is building something for 20 years or 100 years down the road and not really,

00:00:38.440 people don't understand it. And I learned something when I was walking the streets of

00:00:43.020 Paris, France last week or two weeks ago. And as I started learning this stuff, I was like,

00:00:48.840 Oh, my gosh, that is exactly what's happening now.

00:00:51.460 We have been here before, and it didn't end well, and the president needs to know about it, and so do you.

00:00:58.260 And I give you that information also.

00:01:01.560 My thoughts on Dolly Parton.

00:01:03.540 All that and more on today's podcast.

00:01:05.280 you're listening to

00:01:18.660 the best of the

00:01:20.500 Glenn Beck program

00:01:21.520 I guess I'm going all socialist

00:01:28.280 today because I'm going to blow off all of our

00:01:30.380 commercials

00:01:30.880 except I'm going to be paying for it so it's not

00:01:34.120 Well, I guess that is how socialism works.

00:01:37.960 We have to blow off our commercials here because we have President Donald J.

00:01:42.300 Trump joining us in just a couple of seconds.

00:01:44.600 These are terrifying times right now.

00:01:46.440 They're calls for Sharia law all across the Western world.

00:01:50.100 It feels like there's a foreign occupation that is happening in parts of America.

00:01:54.360 War with Iran.

00:01:55.300 Prices are still biting at the checkout line.

00:01:58.060 Marxists are exploiting this crisis in every way possible.

00:02:01.400 it's easy to forget where we were just two years ago so before we get to the president let me just

00:02:07.900 recap what has happened this week monday supreme court cleared the way for the president's mail-in

00:02:14.240 ballot order to take effect before the midterm six to three homeland security can build a federal

00:02:19.420 citizenship list and send it to the states while the attorney general can prioritize the prosecutions

00:02:24.840 of officials who give ballots uh to uh ineligible voters also the state department the state

00:02:31.840 department is moving to revoke the tourist and business visas of up to 200 000 people who came

00:02:36.660 as visitors and then filed for asylum the largest action in american history if 14 days this month

00:02:43.500 in 14 days ice arrested almost 1500 people in virginia and maryland alone including 400 with

00:02:49.900 convictions and pending charges for crimes from sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, attempted

00:02:55.560 murder, rape, MS-13 members, one of the most successful operations ever. Also this week,

00:03:02.160 we find out State Department is moving to revoke the tourist and business visas

00:03:08.040 of up to 200,000 people who came as visitors. Let's see. Meanwhile, we find out ICE arrests

00:03:16.140 surged nearly 50,000 in July, highest monthly total. Homeland Security also proposed $103,000

00:03:22.080 fee on capped H-1B visa petitions. And then the economic news. This one's huge. Philadelphia Fed's

00:03:28.780 manufacturing survey showed American factories having the strongest current conditions in more

00:03:32.980 than five years. But more striking, the manufacturers, their expectations for the

00:03:38.020 future surged to the highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983 with the

00:03:43.420 biggest one jump uh ever recorded in other words american manufacturing isn't surviving it may be

00:03:50.360 on the verge of a major we're going to build things in america again and nobody thought that

00:03:54.400 was possible with the exception of our guest that's all in one week one and the man responsible

00:04:01.680 is president donald j trump mr president welcome last night we found out that it does sound a

00:04:09.320 little as you as you're going over that list i'm i'm getting exhausted i said i know i don't know

00:04:16.480 how you do it i know last night we found out that uh that we found out that uh dolly parton uh passed

00:04:24.860 away and you did something and i i actually wrote this in my diary last night before i heard what

00:04:29.360 you did i said i feel like she's kind of you know like i feel about her the way i felt about

00:04:34.760 queen elizabeth she was just such class and i felt like we should lower our flags and for the first

00:04:39.960 time in history you said we should lower our flags and you declared that our flag should be

00:04:45.720 at half staff that's never been done before why'd you do it for her is that was never done for an

00:04:51.320 entertainer before is that what you mean yeah never we've done we've done this you know lowering but

00:04:57.380 as i understand it i've heard that from a couple of people i'm a little surprised but

00:05:01.700 she was unique i mean she was amazing and to lose her it's like you lose a member of the family you

00:05:08.380 know we we all knew her so well i knew a little bit she wasn't a very political person she really

00:05:14.340 liked me i will tell you but she also wanted to stay very you know she she was of the opinion you

00:05:21.060 know the 50 who needs to lose i don't think it's 50 i think it's probably 20 of the fans okay not

00:05:26.460 50 but she was a great person that she was just a nice person you know i i liked her a lot and i

00:05:33.480 thought it was a natural thing to lower the flags can we um put something to rest here because the

00:05:40.540 speculation is crazy the cia direct cia director ours is in russia rumors are saying putin's are

00:05:48.660 gonna putin is gonna test nato resolve all the way to speculation that is crazy he's gonna strike

00:05:54.020 england all the way to this is maybe the u.s telling them about the iranian sanctions saying

00:05:59.880 we're serious about them can you tell me why our cia director flew in the middle of the night to

00:06:04.640 meet with the russians well none of the above he's there and you know very sort of semi-routine i hate

00:06:11.700 to disappoint people uh we would like to see the war with ukraine end that's a war would have never

00:06:17.200 started blandova were president that's one of the one that's one of the negatives of not having it

00:06:22.700 done that way i think this way is actually turned out to be bigger in many ways but you wouldn't

00:06:27.480 have had the war with ukraine and you wouldn't have had 25 million people coming into our country 0.82

00:06:32.740 like they did just come in like we were a bunch of fools it was so sad but they you know 20 and 0.94

00:06:38.860 i think the number is higher than 25 frankly but they came in from prisons and they were drug 0.99

00:06:43.840 dealers and they were murderers and everything else and they poured into our country you wouldn't

00:06:47.700 had that but you would not have had the war in ukraine uh john ratcliffe is a fantastic guy he's

00:06:54.140 the head of the cia and he is not in there for any of the things that you said now something may come

00:06:59.800 out you know out of it we're working very hard to get that war ended uh and frankly they both

00:07:05.780 want to see it ended at this point um the atlantic of all places is reporting and this is starting to

00:07:13.820 become a commonplace that the ayatollah is dead is the ayatollah dead and um is there a way to

00:07:23.460 win this war i mean really win this war um and have them unconditionally surrender without the

00:07:32.300 people rising up who don't have any guns so is he dead and are where are we on the war

00:07:39.800 I don't think he's dead. He was very seriously wounded. The left side of his body, the arm, the leg, the whole thing, he was very seriously wounded. But I don't think he's dead. And if he is, they're putting on a pretty good show because they talk about, you know, going back to talk to him all the time, you know, to get a final blessing on things.

00:08:02.860 But, you know, you make a deal with them. It's like not it's not the most honorable group.

00:08:09.000 I will tell you that. And, you know, we have straight open. We took out 22 boats last night.

00:08:14.280 We have people coming in the blockade. Our Navy has been unbelievable.

00:08:18.300 Our military has been unbelievable. The combination.

00:08:20.940 But and our financial strength, we built it up so much like you wouldn't believe in a year and a half.

00:08:27.660 our financial strength is unbelievable and those things are going toward a very big victory we had

00:08:33.680 the victory in venezuela and we're going to have a big victory here very soon um can we i mean uh

00:08:43.340 because these people are not it's not like you're negotiating with western-minded people these people

00:08:49.540 want chaos and death and everything else can is any but has there been any talk anywhere of anybody

00:08:56.840 You're not saying us supplying the people with the ability to fire back because you've got to get the 80 percent of the people to stand up.

00:09:05.960 Do you foresee them being able to stand up in the future and finish this regime?

00:09:11.640 Right.

00:09:12.200 They say they're so surprised that the people aren't fighting back.

00:09:16.200 But, Glenn, if you were in that position and you're a brave guy, I have watched your whole career.

00:09:20.560 I've been a fan of yours for a long time.

00:09:22.180 you're a brave guy but i don't think you'd be standing out there when they have a machine gun

00:09:26.560 nest but you know they have really snipers at the tops of buildings and people go out to protest

00:09:32.540 and they get hit and they don't have to hit many but when you see five or six or ten people go down

00:09:39.880 and you have a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand people they leave no i don't care who

00:09:46.740 you are they leave yeah and it's very hard to protest when you have people that are willing 0.99

00:09:50.980 to shoot you and kill you. And that's why they're not protesting. And there is a chance because

00:09:57.080 they have become very much weakened. You know, their Navy is, as you know, totally gone. Their

00:10:02.580 Air Force is totally gone. They're not, their soldiers, many of their soldiers aren't being

00:10:07.600 paid. They have 300, I think 300, I heard 90%. I heard, I think it's 300% inflation. Their

00:10:16.620 Their monetary, their money is almost valueless.

00:10:20.760 Now, I mean, they're not doing very well.

00:10:23.720 And, you know, I would have to, and I could have told you the same thing, not as strongly,

00:10:27.900 but two months ago, three months ago, and I'd have to read the New York Times saying

00:10:32.460 how well they're doing.

00:10:33.560 They're not actually saying that anymore, which is hard to believe.

00:10:37.020 I'm surprised they don't continue to say it.

00:10:39.140 But, you know, there was so much fake news for that.

00:10:41.600 Because right from the beginning, from the B-2 bombers a little more than a year ago

00:10:45.420 where we knocked out the nuclear, to the present, 0.80

00:10:48.400 we have really dominated, really, truly dominated.

00:10:56.080 We have so many enemies, I feel, like inside our own gates. 0.98

00:11:01.940 We have the DSA, and we have Islam, the Red-Green Alliance, 1.00

00:11:06.480 something I put up on chalkboard when I was at Fox, 1.00

00:11:08.820 and I said, this is going to happen, and everybody said that.

00:11:10.760 They'll never work together, and that's exactly what's happening.

00:11:13.340 um the would you push for or sign a no sharia law act for america and when it comes to the the

00:11:24.760 the marxists um what advice do you have for the gop to begin to relate to the people who feel

00:11:31.360 like there is an affordability crisis in america especially for the youth and the marxists are

00:11:36.960 playing on that and exploiting all of that yeah what is what advice do you have yeah i would say 0.82

00:11:43.420 two things number one on sharia law i would absolutely say that's not this country there

00:11:48.620 was no sharia law and you do have pockets of it as you know i would say no and you go to london 0.98

00:11:55.200 you go to paris it's almost like a second way of life it's ridiculous and i would absolutely be on 0.75

00:12:02.200 your side on that or on a lot of other people's side too because you know you are you and i have

00:12:08.320 people that i think we're we're more based on common sense than we are in ideology it's all 1.00

00:12:14.900 about good politics is all about common sense anyway but i would absolutely prohibit the sharia 0.99

00:12:22.620 law thing and it is happening in this country a little bit and when we see it we take it out

00:12:28.400 and you have to take it out you have one system we have a great system sometimes it's very

00:12:33.100 frustrating but it's uh the best there is that i can see uh as far as the affordability so

00:12:41.640 affordability is interesting because the democrats caused affordability i took over

00:12:47.960 everything was high we had the highest inflation in history they say 48 years so either one

00:12:54.240 But we had the highest inflation in the history of our country.

00:12:57.560 Prices were at the highest.

00:12:59.360 You look at the oil and gas.

00:13:00.880 You look at groceries.

00:13:03.040 You look at eggs.

00:13:04.680 Remember, I took it over.

00:13:05.660 Eggs were five times higher than they were four years before.

00:13:09.720 And we've gotten them down very, very substantially.

00:13:12.560 And prior to the war, prior to what we're doing with Iran, which I think will be ending fairly soon, you could really say, you know, because the strait is open. 0.56

00:13:22.980 We take a lot of ships through the strait now. 0.99

00:13:25.000 We're taking them in.

00:13:26.080 The mines are gone.

00:13:27.300 You probably saw that.

00:13:28.580 We put it out yesterday, all the mines.

00:13:30.420 We got rid of the mines.

00:13:31.920 But the strait, it's functioning.

00:13:33.340 It's a functioning strait.

00:13:36.320 Yes, every once in a while there'll be a drone or a rocket or something shot,

00:13:40.580 but it is a very functioning strait.

00:13:42.600 A lot of oil is pouring out.

00:13:44.460 10 million gallons, 10 million barrels yesterday.

00:13:48.120 But as far as affordability, when I was just prior to saying we have to go down,

00:13:52.640 we have to do this. I met with my people. We just had record stock market. And I said, you know,

00:13:59.300 we're going to have to do a detour. We could not let. It's very simple to me. We cannot let Iran

00:14:04.420 have a nuclear weapon. That's what it's all about. It's ninety nine point nine percent. 0.99

00:14:08.740 We cannot let them because they are crazy and they will use it. And we cannot let them have 0.95

00:14:14.500 a nuclear weapon. And we stopped it. I stopped it twice. I stopped it then and I stopped it with

00:14:19.420 the jcpoa that's the obama deal that he gave everything one of the worst deals one of the 0.80

00:14:25.880 most dangerous deals ever said he gave them a road a path to a nuclear weapon that was a path that

00:14:31.300 wasn't a a stoppage that was a path to a nuclear weapon and i terminated that as you know it was a

00:14:38.660 big deal when i did it and they tried to say like it was it was a disaster they would have had a

00:14:44.140 nuclear weapon five years ago if i didn't i did i terminated it in my first in my first term and so 0.75

00:14:50.900 i saved it then they would have had a nuclear weapon they would have used it israel would have

00:14:55.480 been totally knocked out they would have knocked out there would be i will say this if donald trump 0.66

00:15:00.600 wasn't president there would be no israel right now there would be and that's that's a guarantee 0.62

00:15:06.140 there would not be an israel because they would have had nuclear weapons and they would have used 0.70

00:15:10.860 them immediately. But as far as pricing, the prices are coming down. You know, they came up 0.91

00:15:16.620 with that word affordability. So I inherit the worst inflation in history. And I have my first

00:15:22.520 news conference the day after I win. And the press is screaming at me about prices.

00:15:29.140 And they especially go, what about eggs? What about this? What I said, I'm only here for one

00:15:34.920 day. Give me a chance. I didn't even know. They're talking about eggs. They're screaming at me about

00:15:40.540 they said i just you know i just won yesterday i mean the whole thing was just absolutely crazy

00:15:46.820 actually it was the first day in it was on january 21st i'm having a news conference i'm there for

00:15:53.260 one day and they're screaming about prices i inherited a mess in so many ways the border

00:16:00.260 which i solved very quickly i inherited so many different problems that this was a bad

00:16:06.780 administration. This was an incompetent administration. But I inherited high prices.

00:16:14.020 And then from the first day, they started using the word affordability. They looked at me,

00:16:19.000 affordability, it was a new word. Nobody ever heard the word. It was a new word that they

00:16:24.240 devised because they're quite good at that. They're not good at running a country, but they're good at,

00:16:28.620 I guess, good at politics. I don't know. They have some awfully bad policy for people like

00:16:34.140 men and women sports etc but i inherited affordability i inherited high prices i'll put

00:16:40.200 it a different way and we've really gotten them down now we have a little bit of an oil don't

00:16:45.880 forget when we when i did this people thought the oil would go to ten dollars a gallon you know that 0.76

00:16:52.280 and they said but we had to do it we had to stop them from having a nuclear weapon and we did

00:16:56.660 and the prices are coming down very rapidly and now beef is starting to come down that you know

00:17:02.100 the meats the beef is starting to come down but prices have come down very very very um very

00:17:08.880 i have to tell i have to tell you mr president i didn't plan on talking about this and we can

00:17:13.280 get into it a later date but please please when it comes to beef please look at the cartel that

00:17:20.880 is the meat processing cartel i mean that is i i i run a ranch so i know what it's like

00:17:28.720 and I'm telling you, it is the processing

00:17:30.980 plants. There's four of them and I think

00:17:32.740 two of them are not even American. It's 0.99

00:17:34.700 bad and they're

00:17:36.240 I believe they're colluding with each other.

00:17:39.080 I'm surprised that the ranchers and the farmers haven't done it because they're

00:17:40.820 smart as hell. I'm surprised

00:17:42.920 because that's been going on a long time

00:17:44.920 Glenn, long before I got here.

00:17:46.920 Help us. Help us.

00:17:48.900 It's so, we can't

00:17:50.400 butcher with all of the federal

00:17:52.660 regulations. It is really hard.

00:17:55.780 You know, if there's something

00:17:56.780 you can do to help. Glenn,

00:17:58.540 is that just a question of regulation do you think a lot of it is yeah a lot of it is the

00:18:04.440 inspections are insane so they make the regulations so tough that so could you do it if you didn't

00:18:13.520 have those regulations could you do it on your ranch yes and is that the way to do it or do you

00:18:20.760 think yes you need some pretty strong regulations break the back break the back of those processing

00:18:27.240 plants though there's people that want to build processing plants everywhere the regulations are

00:18:32.240 killing us just killing us you're saying with with less regulation you think that the ranchers

00:18:39.720 and farmers would do a very good job of processing the beef yes wow yes i know that today i know i've 0.77

00:18:48.080 been hearing about this problem for 20 years i've been hearing about this problem free your people

00:18:54.540 Let our people go. 0.69

00:18:55.600 Let your people go. 1.00

00:18:56.900 This could be a very good call for ranchers and farmers. 1.00

00:18:59.880 No, for the country.

00:19:00.700 That would be good.

00:19:01.400 No, I've been hearing only bad about it's four places and it's a monopoly.

00:19:07.520 It is.

00:19:08.380 And who's controlling those?

00:19:08.960 This would break their back.

00:19:10.180 Who's controlling those regulations?

00:19:11.880 Department of Agriculture?

00:19:14.240 Yes, and FDA.

00:19:16.740 And the FDA.

00:19:18.020 Or is it USDA?

00:19:19.880 I can't remember which one, but it's the federal regulation.

00:19:23.180 It's all the inspections.

00:19:24.700 It's all the inspections.

00:19:26.320 Mr. President, I've got to get to one more question.

00:19:28.480 Canada.

00:19:29.100 This is a very big thing you just told me, though, because you just gave me a very good idea.

00:19:34.100 Okay, good, good, very good.

00:19:35.900 I love the call.

00:19:37.320 I love this call.

00:19:38.360 Can you tell me quickly about Canada?

00:19:41.400 I mean, it seems to me they had a really good deal, but this is all about the elections and throwing our elections.

00:19:48.760 What is happening?

00:19:49.540 Is there a way to end this?

00:19:51.220 look i don't know how you feel about canada they are one of the worst countries in the world to

00:19:57.580 deal with there and this has gone on for many years wait wait can we say this i love canadians

00:20:04.120 and canada i do not like their administration okay well the administrator and the previous

00:20:09.840 administration too is terrible yes yes yes yes yes but they have taken advantage of the united

00:20:15.660 States for many decades, actually. They charge tariffs that are unbelievable, like on milk,

00:20:22.520 400 percent. And I just said, we're taking them on. And I took them on at the beginning,

00:20:29.900 but we had so many other things to do because the country is a mess. But I said, we're going

00:20:35.060 to take them on. We're going to stop it. And you saw the Lake Ontario. You know, people thought

00:20:41.680 Maybe I wasn't, because the last one you saw was the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America.

00:20:47.600 I know, I know, I know.

00:20:48.560 But now we have a Gulf and we have a lake, okay?

00:20:51.020 You know, it's very simple.

00:20:52.380 But, look, I don't want to go into great detail because it may be boring to people, but to me it's simpler.

00:20:58.040 They charge tariffs.

00:20:59.700 They take advantage of us as though they were a state, and they're not a state.

00:21:05.100 And they've taken our car industry, and they've taken our agriculture industry.

00:21:09.600 You know, the farmers can't sell anything in there because the tariffs are so enormous, and yet they want to sell in us without any touch.

00:21:18.260 So I had a deal that was a pretty good deal, you know, quite good, because they're afraid that I won't do anything.

00:21:25.140 In other words, we won't trade.

00:21:26.440 They don't have anything that we have to have.

00:21:28.960 OK, we can get by.

00:21:30.780 I mean, there are a couple of things that would make it a little inconvenient, but we could get them elsewhere.

00:21:35.820 And it's time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore.

00:21:39.600 We lose $60 billion, and really more than that, $60 billion a year with Canada.

00:21:45.740 Mr. President, I can't believe I have to say this to you.

00:21:49.280 I have a network break.

00:21:50.440 You could hold on, but I know you're busy.

00:23:24.220 program. So yesterday I find out Dolly Parton died. My wife kind of had the same look on her

00:23:38.420 face, not exactly, but the same look on her face of sadness when Charlie Kirk died. I know that

00:23:47.720 face. And she came in and she was looking at her phone. She came in and I could tell something big

00:23:52.820 had happened. And she said, Dolly Parton just passed away. Now she's 80 years old. It's not

00:24:00.820 a surprise, but it's sad because she was amazing. She was truly amazing. Here's what her family

00:24:08.900 said. They just released this. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my

00:24:15.140 father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment, but haven't truly felt

00:24:19.900 it until now. It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness.

00:24:26.180 But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus,

00:24:32.520 surely met by Carl, her parents, and countless others who have watched her and longed for her

00:24:37.500 to meet them in the heavens. I first went on the road with Dolly as a kid, getting a taste of the

00:24:42.840 road life in the early 1980s. Dolly opened doors not just for me, but for her entire family to

00:24:49.020 reach the potential we didn't even know was possible. Dolly also opened doors for generations

00:24:54.020 of singers, songwriters, musicians, and dreamers from every walk of life and across every continent.

00:25:00.300 By her example, we believed that anything was possible.

00:25:06.280 You know, the flag over the White House is at half-staff now. It stays there until sunset on

00:25:12.940 the 1st of September. Every federal building, every embassy, every naval station, everywhere.

00:25:19.020 Dolly Parton would have turned that down.

00:25:21.060 Had anybody asked her, she would have said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 1.00

00:25:24.480 Because that's who she was.

00:25:25.400 That's what she did.

00:25:27.060 Do you know that the Trump administration offered her the Medal of Freedom,

00:25:30.440 the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

00:25:31.940 It's the highest civilian award to be given.

00:25:34.680 She said no.

00:25:36.360 The Biden administration offered her the same thing.

00:25:39.340 She said no.

00:25:40.860 And she said, you know, if I take it, then I'd be doing politics.

00:25:44.980 And she didn't want to do that.

00:25:46.400 And I so respect her for that.

00:25:49.960 Tennessee moved a bill through committee to put a statue of her on the Capitol grounds in Tennessee. 0.98

00:25:56.200 She said, please, please kill this.

00:25:58.740 Please don't do that. 0.97

00:26:00.240 Quote, given all that's going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate.

00:26:06.160 Who does that? 0.96

00:26:07.680 At her stature, who does that? 1.00

00:26:11.660 Dolly Parton.

00:26:14.240 You may remember the Emmys in 2017.

00:26:16.780 remember the three girls from nine to five came out together to present an award it was dolly it

00:26:21.580 was lily tomlin and i think jane fonda and fonda and tomlin used the moment and doll they talked

00:26:29.840 about before and dolly said don't do it don't do it please don't do this back in 1980 fonda said 0.96

00:26:35.380 we refuse to be controlled by a sexist egotistical lying hypocritical bigot and in 2017 tomlin said 0.98

00:26:43.620 we still refuse. The room roared. Everybody, you know, of course, they're talking to the room. 1.00

00:26:49.520 And Dolly stood there in the middle on live television. Now, what would you have done?

00:26:55.020 She asked her friends not to do that. What did she do? She pointed to her chest and she said,

00:27:03.020 well, I know something about support. And the room roared, okay? Took the air out of all of it.

00:27:09.540 She didn't correct her friends. She didn't lecture her friends. She didn't scold them.

00:27:12.880 She didn't distance herself.

00:27:14.800 She just declined to be a soldier in somebody else's war.

00:27:18.280 And she did it with such grace that half the audience never noticed anything

00:27:22.020 had even happened.

00:27:23.240 She was asked about it afterward.

00:27:24.640 And she said, I just don't, I don't voice my political opinions.

00:27:27.740 I get out there and I entertain.

00:27:29.540 I don't condemn my friends.

00:27:31.260 I don't condemn anybody.

00:27:32.760 I just entertain.

00:27:34.580 That's not cowardice.

00:27:36.080 That's a job.

00:27:37.520 you know and that's a the man who wrote that job description wrote it 160 years ago his name was

00:27:47.160 walter baggett he was an english editor and he wrote a book about how his country actually worked

00:27:54.200 instead of how the textbooks said it did and he said every stable nation has two halves the

00:28:01.160 efficient half the ministers the parliament and the people who argue and pass laws and run the

00:28:05.620 place and the dignified half that's the part that governs nothing at all the part that just exists

00:28:13.260 to love and be loved the efficient half does the work and i would argue that they're not so

00:28:19.020 efficient but it can never hold a country together because the half of the country

00:28:23.180 hates who's ever in charge at any given moment the dignified half is the thing that people

00:28:29.040 who agree on nothing else can still agree on. 1.00

00:28:35.480 That's Dolly Parton's whole life. 1.00

00:28:40.880 You know, in England, 1.00

00:28:42.000 they don't bring the queen into combat politics, okay? 1.00

00:28:47.860 She's just then another combatant.

00:28:49.760 And I don't think there was anybody better

00:28:51.980 as a queen than Queen Elizabeth.

00:28:55.120 She was so classy at all times, so classy. 1.00

00:29:00.380 I think the royal family a piece of garbage, quite honestly. 0.99

00:29:03.980 But she was great. 0.99

00:29:05.460 And I felt when Dolly died, she was our Queen Elizabeth.

00:29:10.680 Queen Elizabeth, 70 years on the throne,

00:29:13.440 and not one living soul ever know how she voted or whether she even did. 0.58

00:29:18.340 And it cost her.

00:29:19.840 There were things that she wanted to say that she never said.

00:29:22.900 But that was the deal. 0.98

00:29:25.500 Does America have a dignified half? 0.93

00:29:28.980 No crown, no throne, nothing built into the system to hold the affection of the people who can't stand each other. 0.91

00:29:37.000 We don't have that queen. 1.00

00:29:39.020 That was the role of the queen.

00:29:40.740 I don't think Charles is going to be able to do it, and the royal family can't do it anymore, but she did.

00:29:45.800 But that was something she was born into.

00:29:48.840 Dolly volunteered. 0.99

00:29:51.840 She earned that place.

00:29:55.120 that's what's so remarkable about Dolly Parton.

00:30:05.020 Do you know that she wrote the song,

00:30:07.520 I Will Always Love You?

00:30:11.160 She wrote that as a goodbye song to Porter Wagner.

00:30:15.940 And she wrote it in the 70s.

00:30:19.880 And Elvis came to her.

00:30:23.280 And Dolly was young.

00:30:24.700 She was a young songwriter.

00:30:26.040 And Elvis Presley comes to her and says, I love that song.

00:30:30.060 I will always love you.

00:30:31.340 I want to do it.

00:30:33.020 And she was going to stand in the studio and watch him sing her song.

00:30:36.260 Biggest thing that had ever happened to her.

00:30:38.320 And the night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker calls her and says,

00:30:43.160 Elvis doesn't record anything unless he gets half the publishing.

00:30:47.420 And she's 28 years old, okay?

00:30:50.960 And she's like, uh, no.

00:30:54.700 And everybody around her said, you're out of your mind.

00:30:57.180 It's Elvis Presley.

00:30:58.360 What are you doing?

00:30:58.940 She said, no.

00:31:00.220 She said she went home.

00:31:01.300 She cried all night.

00:31:02.980 But she said, something in my heart says don't do it.

00:31:06.720 18 years later, Whitney Houston cuts that song for The Bodyguard.

00:31:10.660 And it becomes one of the best-selling singles in the history of the world.

00:31:15.720 Dolly still owned every word.

00:31:19.000 She said, later she said, she joked and she said, it made me enough money.

00:31:23.300 I could buy Graceland.

00:31:25.700 What she actually said about it was this.

00:31:29.600 You have to take care of your business.

00:31:32.580 Everyone's going to use you if they can. 1.00

00:31:37.700 Dolly Parton is underestimated. 1.00

00:31:40.720 A woman for six decades underestimated. 1.00

00:31:44.480 And she let them.

00:31:45.740 She wrote her own songs.

00:31:46.920 She kept her own copyright.

00:31:48.060 She built a theme park in the porous corner of East Tennessee. 1.00

00:31:51.620 Put a whole county to work. 1.00

00:31:53.420 and her whatever phrases she joked that it would be on her tombstone it it costs a lot of money to 1.00

00:31:59.160 look this cheap and everybody laughed at the wig she quiet you know she would wear and she was 0.99

00:32:05.880 quietly behind the scenes assembling one of the biggest business empires in american entertainment 0.99

00:32:10.660 she says i'm a workhorse that looks like a show horse look what she did with it you know her

00:32:18.360 father couldn't read? Robert Lee Parton was his name. He worked farms and construction his entire

00:32:24.220 life. Never learned to read or write. And he was ashamed of it. My grandfather was the same. He

00:32:29.560 couldn't read. He was absolutely ashamed of it. So in 1995, Dolly started mailing free books to

00:32:38.140 every child in her home county. From birth to age five, no income test, rich or poor, a book with

00:32:44.980 your name on it over 300 million books since three million a month all over the world the

00:32:53.160 children called her the book lady she said no honor has meant more to her than that she said

00:33:00.980 if i'm remembered a hundred years from now i hope it'll be not for looks but for books

00:33:04.860 when fire tore through gatlinburg in 2016 her foundation sent every family that lost a home

00:33:12.740 $1,000 a month for six months.

00:33:16.720 No strings.

00:33:18.300 When COVID hit,

00:33:19.500 she gave a million dollars

00:33:20.520 to a friend's lab at Vanderbilt

00:33:22.160 and helped them fund the early research.

00:33:25.100 She never announced it as a cause.

00:33:27.460 She, when asked about it,

00:33:28.760 because she never brought it up,

00:33:30.200 I just wanted to do some good.

00:33:32.560 And my favorite,

00:33:33.700 because this shows how her mind worked,

00:33:36.240 she offered every seventh and eighth grader

00:33:38.260 in her county $500 for graduating high school.

00:33:41.180 But this time there was a string, there was a catch to it.

00:33:46.420 You had to pick a buddy and you only got paid if your buddy graduated too.

00:33:55.480 They don't make them like Dolly Parton anymore. 1.00

00:33:58.540 That's the whole gospel according to Dolly Parton.

00:34:01.440 Nobody gets out alone.

00:34:05.920 Her explanation was always really super simple.

00:34:08.780 I just see a need and if I can fill it, I will.

00:34:11.180 people i think that don't know who dolly parton was think the rhinestones you know they see the

00:34:18.520 sparkle and that was the whole story it wasn't she was one of 12 children a one-room cabin

00:34:23.480 the doctor who delivered her was paid with a sack of cornmeal there was an abandoned church

00:34:29.620 that was just down the hill windows busted out wrecked piano filthy words scrawled on the walls

00:34:35.000 right next to the bible verses that were still hanging there other kids went there to drink

00:34:40.240 Dolly went to that church in that condition to pray.

00:34:45.960 She said, in that ruined little church is where God finally broke through and I found God.

00:34:50.740 Not out of fear, not because a preacher scared me into it, but on my terms.

00:34:56.820 I found God, I had found Dolly Parton, and I loved them both.

00:35:02.680 She built a chapel on her own land later.

00:35:05.600 She stayed married to the same man for 59 years.

00:35:09.520 a man who wanted no part of any of this stuff,

00:35:12.300 guarded their privacy for all 60 years.

00:35:16.240 He died last spring.

00:35:18.960 She recently said she was still talking to him.

00:35:24.200 Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

00:35:28.060 Storms make trees take deeper roots.

00:35:30.940 If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

00:35:34.980 She didn't just say those things.

00:35:37.340 She lived every one of them.

00:35:39.460 11 days ago, she was supposed to be at Dollywood in person,

00:35:42.280 opening the biggest ride they've ever built.

00:35:44.180 She couldn't make the trip.

00:35:45.400 She sent a video instead. 0.97

00:35:46.700 In full sparkle, pair of butterfly wings flapping behind her.

00:35:50.400 The butterfly has been her sign since she was a little girl in those mountains.

00:35:53.820 Her Nashville doctor said,

00:35:56.120 Mm-mm, you can't go.

00:35:58.020 She said,

00:35:59.080 My doctor clipped my wings,

00:36:01.000 so I couldn't travel this week.

00:36:02.380 And then she said,

00:36:03.760 My little butterfly wings are getting kind of tired.

00:36:07.040 that was 11 days ago she was still working still turning it into a joke still not asking a soul to 0.60

00:36:14.180 worry about her or feel bad for her anyway she never held an office never commanded anything

00:36:19.040 never cast a vote anybody knew about and she turned down every honor this country tried to

00:36:24.620 hand to her the biggest medal three times and the statue but today our flags come down anyway

00:36:33.500 and it's the one honor she can't decline

00:36:35.820 and she earned it.

00:36:40.880 I think America's a little darker

00:36:42.360 than it was yesterday,

00:36:43.440 just a little bit.

00:36:46.740 But I'm not going to spend my day

00:36:48.100 praying about the loss.

00:36:49.460 I'm going to spend time giving thanks

00:36:52.120 that we had the opportunity

00:36:56.780 to witness that special light,

00:37:00.140 that talent, that kindness

00:37:01.780 that we don't see very often.

00:37:03.900 That little girl born in a cabin,

00:37:05.980 paid for with a bag of cornmeal,

00:37:08.220 became the last thing left in this country

00:37:10.660 that nearly all of us could still agree to love.

00:37:14.680 But her spirit doesn't die because it was never only hers,

00:37:17.620 it's ours.

00:37:18.740 It is quintessentially, stubbornly, gloriously American.

00:37:23.380 And somewhere, in some little town nobody's ever heard of,

00:37:26.960 there's a little girl who nobody's ever heard of,

00:37:29.320 who, with God's help, will grow up with that talent, that kindness, that intellect, that grace of Dolly Parton.

00:37:40.420 Maybe all of us should honor Dolly Parton today by just making sure that that little girl has some books to read.

00:37:50.900 More in a minute.

00:37:56.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:59.320 high prices are here to stay gas groceries insurance and if you're a homeowner you've

00:38:13.640 probably thought should i call american financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt

00:38:17.820 and then you second guess yourself because of your current low mortgage rate listen that low rate

00:38:22.640 it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25 or more that's the math nobody

00:38:28.000 wants to face, but it's costing you thousands. And here's the truth. If you're only making

00:38:32.380 minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American 0.99

00:39:18.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:25.360 okay this is what i want you to understand and the president already understands this but i'm

00:39:37.960 going to give you a conversation that i would have with the president of the united states if

00:39:41.320 he would give me 15 minutes to just to listen to me tell him a story and teach him teach a piece

00:39:45.340 of history that maybe he already knows but it revolves around this i have told you what the

00:39:52.680 president is doing what the president is doing is laying a foundation for another century of

00:39:58.180 america okay he is he is not putting tape around the plumbing that's why you're not feeling the

00:40:05.920 impact today that you might have felt in 2017 he's not he what he did is he did simple things

00:40:13.500 move this lever move this letter but then when he got out of office they just moved all those

00:40:18.100 levers back and it was over and then it got worse. So he has to fix and tear all the plumbing that is

00:40:24.680 broken and been taped up, got to tear it all out, put new plumbing in, new foundation, and rebuild

00:40:31.580 the house for a new generation and a new century. And here's why you have this that just came out

00:40:37.940 this week. The Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey showed American factories are having their

00:40:44.240 strongest current conditions in more than five years.

00:40:47.760 Factories, remember, we don't build things, okay?

00:40:51.780 More striking than that,

00:40:53.780 manufacturers' expectations for the future.

00:40:57.260 This means you call the factory and you say,

00:41:00.280 hey, what do you think is happening in the future?

00:41:02.440 Are you going to get better, worse, or about the same?

00:41:04.620 It's off the charts with them saying,

00:41:07.220 oh, it's going to get much better.

00:41:08.860 In fact, it is at the highest level

00:41:11.000 since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983.

00:41:14.240 It's also the biggest one-month jump ever recorded.

00:41:18.120 In other words, manufacturers are going,

00:41:21.700 we're going to start building things in America again.

00:41:24.340 I know it.

00:41:25.880 You haven't felt that yet.

00:41:29.060 This is them saying, this is what's coming.

00:41:32.660 But you're not feeling it yet.

00:41:34.060 You're still at the grocery store line paying your bills.

00:41:37.740 And, you know, maybe if you're lucky, you know, your pay is keeping up a little bit, but most likely not.

00:41:47.320 Okay.

00:41:48.920 So let me tell you what I learned.

00:41:52.620 Because a factory that, you know, was announced this year makes its first part in 2029.

00:42:01.400 So you're going to build a factory?

00:42:03.200 That's it.

00:42:04.280 2029.

00:42:05.180 That's when the doors open.

00:42:06.200 A data center today breaking ground this month draws power in 2028 and pays for itself around 2034.

00:42:16.360 A drilling permit shows up at the pump in two years, maybe.

00:42:22.520 A restructured NATO, a new security architecture in the Middle East, Western Hemisphere rebuilt as the center of gravity for the next hundred years.

00:42:31.800 That's what's actually happening,

00:42:34.060 but you're not feeling any of it

00:42:35.840 because it's generational work.

00:42:38.380 20 years before a man in Ohio can look at his life and say,

00:42:42.400 oh, that's what all of that was for.

00:42:46.020 Now, look at the calendar

00:42:47.740 the people that are building all of this stuff live on.

00:42:52.320 Midterms in 90 days.

00:42:54.000 Presidential election in two years.

00:42:56.260 Let's give the president the benefit of the doubt

00:42:58.220 for just a second.

00:42:58.960 Assume that the manufacturing base has come home because we all know if it doesn't come home, we lose the century.

00:43:08.060 Assume the energy and the compute is ours and China doesn't write the rules for artificial intelligence and everything downstream of it.

00:43:17.520 Assume the alliances were built for a world that ended.

00:43:23.160 assume every bit of everything that donald trump is doing is correct

00:43:30.300 it can all be correct and still cost him everything and here's where we have been

00:43:36.520 here's why i know we've been here before okay because it happened to the man who built the

00:43:42.280 most beautiful city on earth first time i've ever been over in paris i brought my kids over to to

00:43:47.880 do some homework and boy didn't they hear about the paris communes they love traveling with dad

00:43:53.040 But anyway, I'm walking down the streets of Paris, and I'm noticing the architecture, and I'm noticing that the boulevards are really, really wide, and all of the buildings look like they were built around the same time.

00:44:06.200 It's not like a hodgepodge of, oh, this was built in 1700 or 1500, and this one was built tomorrow.

00:44:13.000 It's all pretty much locked in.

00:44:15.060 All the parts of Paris that you know and you think about, it's all from the same time period.

00:44:21.360 So I started asking questions.

00:44:23.040 I started doing my homework.

00:44:25.500 Louis Napoleon, he spent his exile in London.

00:44:31.200 And what he noticed when he was in London,

00:44:33.580 now this is Napoleon's son, not the palaces.

00:44:36.740 He noticed the parks.

00:44:38.580 He noticed the sewers.

00:44:39.920 He noticed the clean water.

00:44:41.320 He noticed the wide streets.

00:44:43.780 He comes home and he takes the throne.

00:44:46.260 And in 1853, he hires a guy named Haussmann.

00:44:50.100 before he hired him he had already taken the map of paris himself and just redrew the old the whole

00:44:59.120 thing okay he redrew the streets he said we're getting rid of these entire neighborhoods i mean

00:45:05.560 everything you think about as paris today was this guy and he drew it out on a map by hand

00:45:12.180 and then he colored in different colors this is what i want first this is what comes second

00:45:18.560 The Paris in 1853 that he comes home to is hard to picture.

00:45:23.000 You could go down the street and you could touch both sides of the street.

00:45:27.980 You could touch the buildings on both sides.

00:45:30.760 Drinking water was pulled right out of the Seine, downstream of the city's own sewage.

00:45:35.900 So cholera was a big...

00:45:37.980 Cholera killed 20,000 people in 1832, then came back and killed, I don't know, another 20,000 in 1849. 0.87

00:45:45.780 So they go to work.

00:45:47.620 17 years of work, 20,000 buildings were torn down, 34,000 went up in 17 years.

00:45:59.780 He hired a guy to build aqueducts 100 miles out for spring water.

00:46:05.200 He laid some 350 miles of sewer.

00:46:09.560 Cholera stopped.

00:46:10.980 Parks were ordered.

00:46:12.200 And not just like in New York where it's Central Park.

00:46:14.180 These are massive parks and not just in the rich places. 0.94

00:46:18.760 The great one on the east side went up in an abandoned gypsum quarry.

00:46:24.800 It was used as a garbage dump.

00:46:27.660 At the height of this, one in five working people in Paris were working on construction.

00:46:34.960 So let's look at what they got.

00:46:36.680 They got clean water, parks for the poor, work for the workers, boulevards that the whole world flies in to see.

00:46:43.600 It's the most beautiful city in the world.

00:46:46.760 And all of these beautiful apartments and everything else.

00:46:49.460 The neighborhoods came down.

00:46:52.380 The old neighborhoods where everybody was living came down.

00:46:56.540 This is the key I want you to listen to.

00:46:59.740 The new apartments were renting for money that nobody had.

00:47:03.980 Okay?

00:47:04.660 So they moved east.

00:47:06.480 And Paris sorted itself by class in a way it never had before.

00:47:10.940 Also, dust for 17 years.

00:47:15.460 That was a problem.

00:47:17.120 They tore down the neighborhoods as they were going,

00:47:20.300 and so everything was torn up for 17 years,

00:47:22.960 and all the financing was done off the books,

00:47:25.040 which handed the enemy a weapon.

00:47:27.960 1868, a politician named Jules Ferry,

00:47:30.420 he publishes a pamphlet mocking the accounts.

00:47:33.320 Well, it landed, and Hausman was fired in 1870.

00:47:37.240 Four months later, Napoleon III put himself

00:47:39.920 to a national vote, and he won about five to one.

00:47:43.440 So he was okay.

00:47:44.900 The country said yes, but Paris, the ones who are living in it,

00:47:48.580 and remember, this is a countrywide project in our time,

00:47:51.680 they said no.

00:47:53.300 That July, the war came with Prussia.

00:47:55.640 By September, he was captured, and the empire was finished.

00:47:58.720 He died in England without ever seeing the amazing opera house

00:48:02.560 that he ordered built.

00:48:04.500 Then the republic that replaced him spent 50 years finishing his plans,

00:48:08.740 every single one of them.

00:48:09.640 So he was right, but he lost anyway.

00:48:13.320 Why?

00:48:15.660 Because the cost of a rebuild are immediate, personal, and addressed to you, the citizen, by name.

00:48:24.180 The benefits are slow, they're thin, and they mostly belong to strangers who arrive later.

00:48:30.880 If you're paying for the boulevard, you're most likely not going to be the one that walks on it.

00:48:35.880 You get the dust.

00:48:37.300 Your grandson gets the boulevard.

00:48:39.640 Now, watch what filled the hole that he left.

00:48:44.020 Because remember, what Trump is doing is he's building this grand thing, just like in Paris.

00:48:51.520 But the people aren't feeling it yet, just like in Paris.

00:48:54.460 So, what happens in Paris?

00:48:56.520 1871.

00:48:58.040 The war is lost, the city is starving, and the new government in Versailles announces that the rent is going to be suspended during the siege.

00:49:08.960 Anything that's due right now, it's suspended.

00:49:13.220 Pawn shops, you have to resume selling what people pledged.

00:49:18.280 Paris starts to rise up.

00:49:19.640 In 10 weeks, the commune governed by the city,

00:49:22.740 and look what that commune did for 10 weeks, okay?

00:49:26.880 Rent owned from October forward, all forgiven.

00:49:31.180 Commercial debts postponed.

00:49:33.600 Interest canceled.

00:49:34.760 Pawn shops were ordered, return the tools, return the bedding, the clothing, the linen worth 20 francs or less.

00:49:41.960 Give it back to those people for free because the working people had pawned their own tools to eat. 0.75

00:49:49.460 Nightwork in the bakeries abolished. 0.99

00:49:52.020 Factories abandoned by their owners handed to worker cooperatives.

00:49:55.880 There was a rent freeze, debt cancellation, cheaper bread.

00:49:59.020 You read the list. Tell me you haven't heard this in English from a man who's just won the mayor's race.

00:50:04.380 okay? For 10 weeks, it worked. It was real. A man walked into a pawn shop, walked out with his

00:50:13.600 own hammer. That's not nothing. And pretending it was nothing is why we lose the argument.

00:50:20.320 But then the bill came in one week. It was May 21st to the 28th. The retreating communards,

00:50:28.720 which I love that because it just implies so much,

00:50:32.160 but the Communards torched the Palace of Justice 0.93

00:50:36.560 and the Hotel de Ville and the city's entire archive in it. 0.96

00:50:42.600 The army didn't rest with artillery.

00:50:45.420 About a quarter of Paris was damaged, 6,600 dead.

00:50:51.720 Credible estimates are much higher than that.

00:50:54.420 43,000 people arrested,

00:50:56.920 thousands deported to a penal

00:50:59.380 colony in the South Pacific

00:51:00.860 where did the army do

00:51:03.240 it's finishing work

00:51:04.120 not in the rich districts

00:51:06.160 nope

00:51:07.240 in the east

00:51:09.660 place called Belleville

00:51:11.620 the last of the barricades

00:51:13.980 the neighborhoods that had gotten the rent

00:51:16.980 forgiveness paid for that

00:51:18.900 in full and the ones

00:51:21.120 that paid the most were the ones

00:51:22.860 that had cheered the loudest

00:51:24.520 There was a painter, Gustave Corbet, and he was overseeing the pulling down of the column at some big palace.

00:51:34.080 Anyway, the government sent him the bill for putting it back, 323,000 francs, 10,000 a year until he was about 91.

00:51:45.640 Well, he fled.

00:51:46.560 He ran to Switzerland.

00:51:47.660 He died in December of 1877.

00:51:49.420 That was the day before the first payment was due.

00:51:52.060 That guy's dead.

00:51:52.720 So the point on that is, somebody always is getting the bill, but it's never the guy who gave the speech.

00:52:01.460 He died.

00:52:04.380 Didn't we just see this movie in 2020?

00:52:07.360 Roughly 1,500 businesses damaged in Minneapolis-St. Paul, $500 million, something like 60% of it uninsured.

00:52:16.140 Most of it along an immigrant-owned corridor on Lake Street.

00:52:21.320 Four years later, it's half rebuilt. 0.81

00:52:24.580 The neighborhood that was burned in the name of the people who live there is still not whole.

00:52:30.760 So let's put these two things together.

00:52:33.020 Because they're the same city 10 months apart.

00:52:36.160 They're the things now on the ballot right now.

00:52:39.200 One side is offering a 100-year project.

00:52:42.200 That's Donald Trump.

00:52:43.840 You want to own the next century?

00:52:45.860 Here's what we have to do.

00:52:47.060 And he's doing it.

00:52:48.140 But it's dust now, boulevards later.

00:52:51.920 And people, it's not that you're not going to live to see the ribbon cut.

00:52:55.060 You'll live to see the ribbon cut, but you're not feeling it.

00:52:58.440 Nobody's telling you what we're building.

00:53:01.760 On the other side, the other side is offering you free rent.

00:53:05.920 I'm going to forgive your rent this month.

00:53:07.780 I'm going to give you free food.

00:53:09.260 I'm going to make your groceries so cost-effective.

00:53:12.220 And it's real for about 10 weeks.

00:53:16.400 This is what makes it so dangerous.

00:53:18.180 because it's not that a lie, it's a lie.

00:53:21.040 It works for a very short period of time

00:53:24.580 and the ruin arrives on delay

00:53:27.680 and it arrives on the people who cheered.

00:53:32.960 How do you beat?

00:53:34.500 You're not going to have to worry about your rent.

00:53:36.940 How are you going to beat that with

00:53:38.000 your grandson is going to work in a factory?

00:53:42.460 Logically, your grandson is going to work in a factory

00:53:45.020 should work, but it won't.

00:53:48.180 Okay?

00:54:06.040 If someone in your family got sick tomorrow, or there was a medication shortage or a natural disaster,

00:54:11.300 and it kept you from getting a doctor for a few days, what do you actually have that you need?

00:54:17.340 These are real possibilities now.

00:54:19.300 That's just one of the reasons I like Jace.

00:54:22.040 They don't just tell you to be prepared.

00:54:23.780 They give you a practical way to do it.

00:54:25.260 Their Jace case puts emergency antibiotics and common medications in your home before you ever need them.

00:54:31.300 They have a kid case with pediatric medications specifically for children.

00:54:35.400 Their first aid packs are built for emergencies you hope will never, ever happen.

00:54:39.220 If you're not sure how to use the gear, Jace Plus gives you access to Pocket Paramedic.

00:54:44.100 It's a helpline.
