00:00:00.000 When you let aero truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.

00:00:06.320 Like that pile of laundry.

00:00:07.760 You didn't forget to fold it.

00:00:09.240 Nah, it's a new trend.

00:00:10.720 Wrinkled chic.

00:00:12.100 Feel the aero bubbles melt.

00:00:13.900 It's mind bubbling.

00:00:15.360 I start off with some things that are just so agonizing that, you know, your blood vessels might burst.

00:00:21.420 But I asked you before to recognize how you're feeling while I'm telling you these stories.

00:00:27.200 because there is something that, it's how civilizations collapse.

00:00:34.380 And spies know all of this.

00:00:37.900 Espionage knows this, you know, CIA knows this.

00:00:41.240 How do you get people to help you destroy something?

00:00:45.080 It's all in the stories that we read every day and we're missing it.

00:00:48.200 We start with that.

00:00:48.920 Then Rick Scott, senator from Florida, talks about the new deal that possibly might be happening in Washington.

00:00:55.600 He says it's a bad deal.

00:00:56.760 You need to hear that. And I also tell you trust, but verify a story with an AI video

00:01:01.680 on the left that shows the left doing really bad things. And then also a video of Benjamin

00:01:08.180 Netanyahu being dead. Why is this happening? And how do you debunk these things? How do you know

00:01:15.020 what's true and what's not all on today's podcast? Our sponsor is the burner launcher. You're closing

00:01:20.540 up, you know, after, you know, business hours are over, you're going through the last few steps

00:01:25.400 you've done a thousand times counting you know the register turning off the lights grabbing your

00:01:29.660 keys when you happen to glance out the front window and you see him he's not just standing

00:01:33.460 there he's pacing back and forth he's close enough to the doors that you know he's not waiting for

00:01:37.520 anybody else and every time he turns his eyes come right back to you it's not casual not curious

00:01:42.720 but locked in like he's already decided something now doing that calculation in your head how fast

00:01:49.840 can you get to your car is there another way out that's what happens you know if he comes through

00:01:54.880 the door am i ready if he comes through the door because the door isn't locked yet and suddenly

00:01:59.220 that simple end of the day routine doesn't feel simple at all this is the moment the burner

00:02:04.280 launcher was uh made for just that it's a co2 powered tool that shoots kinetic and tear gas

00:02:11.660 rounds and it gives you a non-lethal way to protect yourself and your family with real

00:03:20.700 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:25.100 Okay, so I'm at this birthday dinner last night.

00:03:27.920 It's great.

00:03:28.380 Somewhere between appetizers and the candles.

00:03:32.620 Somebody said to me, do you think Benjamin and Yahoo is dead?

00:03:38.440 And I actually had to say, what?

00:03:43.180 Sorry, did I?

00:03:44.560 Benjamin?

00:03:45.180 No, he's not dead.

00:03:46.260 and this is something my wife who is a she takes care of the family and we've always had this 1.00

00:03:52.520 really healthy agreement that um she takes care of the family she keeps our life normal i can't pay 0.80

00:04:00.340 attention to all of this stuff because if the two of us we'd get into a we'd get into a doomsday

00:04:05.560 loop if the two of us were involved she came to me and she was like you see the video on 0.66

00:04:10.440 benjamin and yahoo and i said yeah it's it's ai honey it's not real um but that wasn't that wasn't

00:04:19.880 it was weird it was just weird it was weird um because people and it wasn't just these people

00:04:27.380 people everywhere they believe that's real they just believe it's real and i was thinking about

00:04:32.560 it last night and there's another claim on the other side that people believe is just real um

00:04:37.700 and that is there's a claim that this Irish band kneecap was playing a

00:04:42.600 concert in Cuba and somehow it caused a nationwide blackout and the blackout

00:04:47.540 killed every patient on the vest on the ventilators there in Cuba,

00:04:51.320 horrifying and not true.

00:04:54.240 Absolutely not true.

00:04:55.280 There was a blackout,

00:04:56.220 but it was caused by a failure at the power plant hundreds of miles away.

00:04:59.520 Part of a long going,

00:05:00.840 long going energy crisis,

00:05:02.600 you know,

00:05:03.340 um,

00:05:04.000 and not the band.

00:05:05.380 Okay.

00:05:05.860 not the communists that were partying with the band, okay?

00:05:08.940 The hospital deaths, we don't know, unverified, no names, no records,

00:05:13.440 no confirmation, but the story is out there and it spreads.

00:05:16.740 Why?

00:05:18.100 It spreads because people are saying it on the internet

00:05:21.140 and it feels kind of true in some way or another.

00:05:24.180 It fits a narrative and you want to believe it.

00:05:30.240 The trick is we have to be able to see through these fake stories.

00:05:34.200 we have to slow down enough and think through logically.

00:05:38.880 And I think the BB story is the best example of this.

00:05:43.980 Let me take you through that.

00:05:45.720 If Benjamin Netanyahu were dead, let's think this through.

00:05:49.800 The first layer that is required for this is total silence

00:05:55.400 from the people who physically surround him.

00:05:57.320 That's family, personal staff, security detail, medical personnel,

00:06:02.720 driver's aides schedules uh schedulers and these are not anonymous figure these are dozens of

00:06:09.280 individuals many with independent loyalties some who disagree with them strongly politically

00:06:15.140 some who would have every every incentive financial ideological even personal to speak up

00:06:22.220 if something this enormous were true okay not one critical credible defection can happen not one

00:06:30.200 Not one verifiable leak could happen.

00:06:34.420 That's damn near impossible, but step back.

00:06:37.820 Modern head of state, this is not a kingdom.

00:06:41.780 He doesn't exist in isolation.

00:06:44.140 He has to constantly interact with military leadership, the intelligence, the cabinet members, the opposition leaders, the foreign diplomats.

00:06:54.520 If the man were gone, every single one of those interactions has to become a performance.

00:06:59.560 every meeting becomes a theater and it's not just internally okay the response was well he's missed

00:07:09.260 all of these meetings but he hasn't he hasn't there's video of him meeting with all of these

00:07:14.680 people since he supposedly was dead he they even have him in a press conference where he's like

00:07:19.760 uh you know i'm very much alive well that's ai well we'll get to that so you got to go

00:07:26.820 his personal. Then you got to do everybody in his country that is around politics,

00:07:31.040 people that don't like him. Then you have the United States government. You have the European

00:07:35.840 allies, regional adversaries, intelligence services across the globe. They all have to

00:07:42.580 either be fooled or actively participate in the deception. Think about that for a minute.

00:07:48.780 Rival intelligence agencies, some of which exist specifically to expose weakness or deception

00:07:55.820 in Israel. They would all have to miss or suppress it. That's just not how intelligence 0.50

00:08:01.940 services behave. They leak, they compete, they expose, they just do. Now bring in the media.

00:08:09.140 Not one outlet, all of them, just, I mean, ABC, NBC, CNN, all of that, the hostile press,

00:08:16.040 the friendly press, the foreign press, the independent journalist, you would need

00:08:21.680 dozens of reporters in physical proximity, camera crews filming in real time, because that's what

00:08:31.340 exists. You would need audio technicians capturing unscripted speech, editors reviewing every raw

00:08:38.580 footage, all either deceived by something flawless or complicit. And remember, journalists break

00:08:45.960 careers for stories far smaller than this. This would be the biggest political cover-up in modern

00:08:51.620 history. And no one has the human instinct to cash in on that, on Israel. Now let's deal with

00:09:00.420 the hardest claim, the one that people always retreat to. It's all AI. Okay, well, someday

00:09:07.840 it is going to be like this, but it's not there yet. You would need the technology that could

00:09:13.020 generate full motion, real-time video. We're not there. Handle unpredictable environments,

00:09:19.760 lighting, background noise, interruptions. You would have to allow unscripted interaction with

00:09:24.820 other humans. We're not there on any of these things. Maintain consistency across multiple

00:09:30.620 appearances, different angles, different days, and do it so perfectly that video experts cannot

00:09:36.240 detect it. Foreign intelligence could not detect it. Political opponents can't expose it.

00:09:42.760 If that technology exists at that level, not in a lab, but operationally deployed, it would be the most valuable and destabilizing capability on Earth, and it wouldn't be used for Benjamin Netanyahu. 0.55

00:09:57.240 It would be used for something far, far greater than that, okay?

00:10:02.120 There are dozens of appearances that are verified by dozens of observers.

00:10:08.880 How do you stop that? How do you explain that? Especially when you stack all of it together. For this to be real, you'd need total silence from the inner circle, total coordination against this entire government, total compliance or total failure of government intelligence from all over the world, the globe.

00:10:32.100 You'd need total complacency or total incompetence of the international media and flawless, undetectable AI that could replace a human being in dynamic public settings.

00:10:45.820 That's a pretty big wall to get over.

00:10:48.600 Or the alternative is it is a rumor born in a chaotic information environment amplified by really bad actors picked up by social media repeated by people who trust the source more than the verification because they have in many cases rightfully so been so burned by everybody else.

00:11:14.120 They no longer trust any other media, so they trust this video.

00:11:19.320 They cannot verify where it came from.

00:11:22.420 One requires a global airtight conspiracy of unprecedented scale, and the other one just requires human nature.

00:11:33.760 If you can convince people that a sitting leader is dead when he's not, you don't just spread confusion.

00:11:41.060 you don't just fracture trust you destabilize perception you make people doubt everything

00:11:50.740 that follows and once people doubt everything they can be led everywhere now who would benefit

00:11:56.960 from that well if you're an adversary of israel and i think there's a few what's more useful

00:12:04.860 defeating netanyahu on the battlefield or convincing the world he's already dead and

00:12:10.700 gone and signal chaos weakness collapse it will boost morale on one side erode it on the other

00:12:19.200 but it doesn't stop there there are entire networks and state actors and ideological groups

00:12:24.900 even engagement driven platforms that profit from the confusion

00:12:29.580 it's hard to i found myself at a loss because they're really the people i was talking to

00:12:42.400 really kind really intelligent i have a lot of respect for them and all i could think of

00:12:47.740 on the drive home was how did those guys fall for this most likely because they're overwhelmed

00:12:54.820 Most likely flooded with more information in a day than previous generations saw in an entire lifetime.

00:13:04.940 Our brains are just trying to keep our head above water.

00:13:08.940 Our brains are just trying to keep us alive.

00:13:12.000 And so we look for shortcuts.

00:13:14.900 And this is what the brain does.

00:13:17.040 We trust what aligns with what we already suspect.

00:13:20.220 So if you're already suspecting that this is dirty, we trust things when we see them.

00:13:28.040 We're like, yep, that makes sense.

00:13:29.440 The brain intelligence, remember, is just pattern recognition.

00:13:35.020 If we trust that it's not dirty, we don't trust that.

00:13:41.080 And slowly without realizing it, we stop verifying and we just start absorbing.

00:13:47.700 this is not this is not a new problem but it's an epic proportions now because of social media

00:13:53.940 and it's only going to get worse if we don't understand how our brain works and what is

00:13:57.740 happening to us you know you you won't you're just not going to make it you're just not going

00:14:02.740 to make it okay because this is not about netanyahu this is about everything this is about

00:14:07.700 absolutely everything that we're facing right now the use the the answer used to be trust the

00:14:12.780 institutions trust the press trust authority all of that's gone okay the answer now is harder

00:14:18.580 trust but verify but you have to verify you have to cross-check you you have to hold your own

00:14:27.600 conclusions loosely until they're earned and there's lots of sources that are mainstream

00:14:34.180 sources that would have that would have absolutely been gleeful to report this story but don't agree

00:14:41.340 with, you know, don't agree with Israel. They, they have a, you know, they don't have a soft

00:14:46.060 spot for Benjamin Netanyahu at all. There would have been tons of sources that would have been

00:14:51.160 saying this legitimate, big sources. I hate to use the word legitimate, big sources. None of

00:14:56.900 them are saying it. You have to become comfortable saying, I don't know. I don't know because that's

00:15:03.380 what I said last night. I said, you know, I don't, I don't think so. Um, I, I haven't really done my

00:15:08.800 deep dive on this, but I don't think so. But I don't know. I don't know. Because I don't know

00:15:13.680 is the beginning of truth. But certainty without evidence is the beginning of manipulation. And

00:15:21.080 that's what we all have to avoid. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:30.420 I'm happy to say one of the good guys in the Senate is Senator Rick Scott, who is now my

00:15:36.920 senator now that i am a resident of the great state of florida it's it's hard to leave texas

00:15:42.740 but it's good to be in uh florida um senator welcome uh last night i know you guys had a

00:15:49.700 very late late night last night uh mark wayne mullen uh became the new secretary of dhs which

00:15:56.720 is not even running 54 45 and then i heard that the president was on the phone like at 1 a.m

00:16:03.940 trying to broker a deal are we close to some sort of deal that at least opens up our airports and

00:16:10.120 gets dhs and and tsa funded well it's it sounds like if there is a deal it's a bad deal um the

00:16:20.380 the democrats are trying to use this they want they've been clear they said they want to hold

00:16:26.000 up funding for ice to get amnesty they don't want the save america act done uh this is an

00:16:31.860 opportunity for them to get everything they wanted they got all their earmarks along with

00:16:36.420 the republicans got all their earmarks and now they say oh we got to open up we got to open up

00:16:41.200 tsa but we're not going to fund ice we're not going to fund the people that get rid of the

00:16:47.160 bad guys i've got a wife two daughters and a granddaughter okay i don't want anything to

00:16:52.400 happen to them like what happened to what um rachel marin or lincoln riley and what this

00:16:59.380 what the proposal is on the table supposedly is oh yeah we hope we take care of tsa which we should

00:17:05.400 but don't fund enforcement removal operations from ice i mean how can you in how can you feel good

00:17:15.760 if what you're saying is oh yeah we we want to get the airports open the democrats shut them down but 0.99

00:17:20.000 we're going to get those darn airports open but the people want to kill or rape your kid 1.00

00:17:25.020 we're not going to fund them no we're not we're not worried about well we trust the democrats 0.99

00:17:30.220 they'll still work with us on this down the road i don't trust one of them they don't want to help

00:17:34.600 us they want to open borders they don't care that all these criminals are in our country this is

00:17:38.780 disgusting and there's nothing about save america in it there's nothing to get that done and by the

00:17:44.120 way these democrat senators are against this they're getting paid they said oh we got a mortgage

00:17:48.520 we got to get paid so i've had a bill no budget no pay since i got up here seven years ago and

00:17:53.800 Every time I bring it up, every day I would get Democrats and, oh, no, that's not fair.

00:17:57.800 What's not fair to TSA or Secret Service or Coast Guard or ICE to not get paid either?

00:18:06.320 Okay.

00:18:07.720 This is really disappointing.

00:18:10.320 Yes.

00:18:11.400 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:18:13.220 It's not disappointing.

00:18:14.120 It's mad.

00:18:14.840 It should make you furious.

00:18:16.660 Oh, no, I'm, I'm very mad about not funding these people.

00:18:20.280 uh so why why is the president then on board he's not saying he's doing it

00:18:30.440 oh he's not he's not saying he's doing it no he's not have you seen a public statement

00:18:35.480 he's not said no i've not i've heard i've heard from sources from i've heard from sources near

00:18:41.400 the president anonymous sources yeah anonymous sources okay so look the president look the

00:18:46.820 The president's been clear.

00:18:48.660 He wants to Save America Act passed.

00:18:50.880 The president's clear.

00:18:52.160 He wants to keep people safe.

00:18:54.220 I mean, think about what this guy's done.

00:18:56.140 He's busted his bus to secure the border.

00:18:58.540 He's doing everything he can to get these criminals out of the country.

00:19:02.820 We've got to help him.

00:19:04.720 Don't tell him it's not doable.

00:19:07.220 Be honest with him.

00:19:08.660 We're going to stick with you, Mr. President.

00:19:10.620 We're going to stick with you.

00:19:11.580 We're going to get the Save America Act done.

00:19:13.120 We're going to figure it out.

00:19:14.160 It's going to be hard.

00:19:15.560 Democrats want to cheat.

00:19:16.820 We're going to figure it out.

00:19:18.340 And guess what?

00:19:19.060 We're not going to let these Democrats get something passed that doesn't fund ICE.

00:19:26.460 And by the way, they say, oh, they say, well, they'll get funding for the big, beautiful bill.

00:19:30.340 Well, let me make sure.

00:19:31.940 In the big, beautiful bill, all it covers is hiring and training, okay, performance, retention, and signing bonuses.

00:19:40.100 Does that sound like that can pay everyday salaries?

00:19:43.620 No.

00:19:44.360 No.

00:19:46.820 it doesn't to me i want i want somebody to explain to me how if they want to go down this path how

00:19:52.580 are these ice agents going to be because i get paid i want the people they're doing enforcement

00:19:57.700 and removal operations to get more money i want the criminals gone so how long before their

00:20:05.060 salaries how long before their salaries are not covered because i mean how long are you going to

00:20:11.540 to be able to keep them watching over our airports if they're not covered when does that

00:20:15.460 well run out well mike i can i don't know how they're paying them now if you look at the if

00:20:22.400 you look at the big beautiful bill they said oh we can pay them to the big beautiful bill

00:20:25.540 well it says hiring and training performance retention signing bonus so i'm just asked i'm

00:20:31.820 just asking everybody tell me how you know because here's what happened they'll say oh yeah we can

00:20:36.460 pay them and then what will happen they'll go along and then some liberal judges say no i looked

00:20:41.120 at the big beautiful bill you can't pay these people so now what are we going to do then we

00:20:46.400 have no leverage and the democrats are the ones who did this they're the ones shut down the governor

00:20:52.300 and this part of government january 30 i completely opposed it i said this is this we will never i

00:20:58.140 said at the time ice will never be funded by these democrats they care about illegal aliens they do

00:21:04.500 not care about americans that's where we are no that's that's very very that's very very clear you

00:21:10.220 know when when you have jd prisker come out and say or who was it that said yesterday uh chris

00:21:15.960 murphy that you're in the wrong place at the wrong time no no who was that yeah that was a

00:21:20.680 yeah i don't know politician yeah another politician yeah that that you know the victim

00:21:24.160 was in the wrong place the wrong time no you know who's in the wrong place the illegal alien 0.99

00:21:27.300 not the american citizen the illegal alien but they just don't care about that they'd be alive

00:21:33.500 how what is it one of these democrats are good how what do you say to lincoln riley's family

00:21:39.380 When you say, well, I'm not worried about getting those people funded up or, you know, what do you say to them?

00:21:44.460 If it happened to your kid, you'd be pissed as hell.

00:21:51.080 Well, I was disturbed this morning when I heard that this was going through.

00:21:54.340 And because it was one of my questions I was going to ask you, they said, well, the Democrats said we'll bring that up in September.

00:22:00.260 And I thought, oh, yeah, yeah.

00:22:02.440 they're they're going to pass all of these things that the republicans like in september not a

00:22:09.300 chance right so and then they say oh we'll do it in reconciliation reconciliation is only mandatory

00:22:14.340 funding and by the way in reconciliation you can't pay normal salaries and and the the big

00:22:20.840 beautiful bill was reconciliation the tax cuts were great the rest of it we spent money like

00:22:25.940 truck and sailors so how do you because part of this has to be now how do you sell this to the

00:22:34.180 american people we are in a war with a terror you know the biggest terror state in the world 0.98

00:22:40.840 um we know we have sleeper cells here we're seeing terrorist activities we had we had drones flying

00:22:49.140 over one of our nuke bases and they were not you know from home depot or from best buy

00:22:54.880 they had jamming capability we could not jam them and bring them down they had capability of staying

00:23:02.000 up against us we don't know who that is how how do you sell this to the american people

00:23:09.140 um because the democrats are going to spend this so we did a deal but the republicans just didn't

00:23:16.100 want it yeah we'd be honest and you've got to you've got to go you've got to go on television

00:23:22.000 and you have to be honest with the american people we care about you they care about illegal aliens

00:23:28.060 let me show you and do the vote every day let's take a vote every day to open up open up all of

00:23:32.920 homeland security let's take it every day and say we don't get why they don't care about you

00:23:38.460 so we have to just go tell people and be completely honest with them we want to we want

00:23:45.400 to make sure you're safe we like right now think about this we we have um the cyber security threat

00:23:51.300 okay i think it's two-thirds of people that are protecting the country on that are are furloughed

00:23:56.540 right now because of this shutdown uh coast guard shutdown i mean i mean i say they we got to be

00:24:02.520 honest the democrats are not the people that care about you and don't act like they're normal it's

00:24:10.160 not normal for them to say i don't care about sheridan gorman or she was just the wrong place

00:24:16.780 at the wrong time no she didn't she didn't move she didn't go to some faraway country and walk

00:24:22.140 and go out in the middle of the night she was in the united states of america which should be safe

00:24:27.380 okay so tell me what you and your fellow senators would like the american people to do because the

00:24:38.300 american people well i think the american people are the ones that have kept the save america act

00:24:43.620 alive in the first place and they don't understand you know i just i got it i got an email in from

00:24:50.240 let me see uh one of our listeners and she said um gosh where is it um who who are these senators

00:25:01.340 that just won't get this done on our side well here so what here's what i tell everybody to do

00:25:09.700 all right though i want to get the save america act passed the only way it's going to get done

00:25:14.160 is we get 60 votes, right?

00:25:16.780 So that means we've got to get 60 votes

00:25:19.260 or we have to add it to a must-pass bill

00:25:21.520 or we've got to figure out

00:25:23.060 how to use the talk in filibuster.

00:25:24.260 So that's our options, right?

00:25:25.920 So I tell people, call constantly.

00:25:29.780 Let people know, this is representative government.

00:25:32.380 If you care about the Save America Act,

00:25:34.040 if you care about opening up

00:25:35.300 the Department of Homeland Security,

00:25:36.680 call every Republican, every Democrat senator

00:25:39.020 and say, get your button gear and get this done.

00:25:44.040 Like the Save America Act is popular.

00:25:46.820 Republicans want it.

00:25:47.600 Democrats want it.

00:25:48.220 Independents want it. 0.88

00:25:49.440 Funding government is popular.

00:25:51.020 People don't want TSA to not get paid.

00:25:53.920 So I've got a bill that says, you know what?

00:25:55.820 You vote not to pay people, you don't get paid.

00:25:59.800 No budget, no pay.

00:26:00.720 We don't pass budgets up here, you don't get paid.

00:26:03.020 Because guess what?

00:26:04.100 All these Democrat senators are fine with people not getting paid.

00:26:07.560 They say, oh, I've got a mortgage.

00:26:09.020 I've got to get paid.

00:26:09.960 That's not fair to me.

00:26:11.100 What about those poor TSA agents that only make $50,000 when U.S. senators here make $174,000?

00:26:17.260 And by the way, the average Democrat senator is worth $3 million.

00:26:21.640 So they're not hurting, but guess who's hurting?

00:26:25.480 TSA or Secret Service or Coast Guard.

00:26:28.060 These people are worried about their car payment, their home payment, their kid's school,

00:26:31.940 or their kids, they want to go on vacation.

00:26:34.600 They can't do it now because they're worried about getting a paycheck.

00:26:38.000 Three shutdowns in six months by these Democrats.

00:26:40.600 so we've got to be honest and and get out there and tell people this is what's going on and quit 0.90

00:26:46.900 letting the democrats act like oh we care because they don't they don't care they don't give a damn

00:26:51.160 about americans senator rick scott from florida thank you sir thank you for fighting thanks for

00:26:57.560 standing up and and at least trying to push the truth we're gonna get there appreciate it

00:27:02.820 thank you all right bye-bye senator rick scott from the great state of florida

00:27:10.600 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:17.160 California fraud.

00:27:18.400 California fraud.

00:27:19.720 Now, Congress and the vice president now in charge of looking at fraud.

00:27:25.240 We are estimating that a third, a third of our budget is going to fraud.

00:27:34.040 A third of our budget.

00:27:35.900 Can you imagine that?

00:27:36.660 you're a household that's having trouble and you find out that a third of what you're bringing home

00:27:43.740 and spending every month is going to fraud and waste, wouldn't that be the biggest priority?

00:27:50.640 You're barely making it. That would be the biggest priority, wouldn't it? I mean, besides,

00:27:55.100 hey, by the way, we've just let some people move into our house that we have no idea who they are 0.95

00:27:59.780 and they might be raping our children at night. That might be a higher priority, but it's pretty

00:28:04.380 high up there isn't it Democrats I just I really want to know I want to know what you say this is

00:28:10.320 a distraction for more important things what are those more important things uh making sure our

00:28:15.540 elections are secure um how about TSA you know we are in a war with the the biggest terror country

00:28:22.380 in the world maybe maybe we can maybe we can have a little you know Department of Homeland Security

00:28:29.120 or TSA? Can we do that? Do you care about people waiting six hours in line, missing their flights,

00:28:34.980 stopping everything, border security? By the way, FAA couldn't make it up to LaGuardia yesterday.

00:28:41.040 Some didn't arrive until 2 a.m. this morning. Why? Because they were standing in line. Why?

00:28:45.500 Because the Democrats have refused to fund the TSA. I don't know why. By the way, if we had a DHS,

00:28:52.360 maybe we could look into those drones. We don't know where the drones came from, but they were

00:28:56.260 all hovering over one of our biggest nuclear bases and these weren't stuff you buy at Best Buy

00:29:03.220 okay these are drones they couldn't shut them down we have jamming technology we couldn't jam them

00:29:11.160 who just sent those drones can we look into that is anybody looking into that do we have can we get

00:29:16.920 can we get the Department of Homeland Security on that because that seems like that does seem

00:29:22.060 like a big priority, doesn't it, Democrats? Maybe not for you. You know, I look at all

00:29:27.620 of the stories of the day, and I think to myself, I'm so angry. I am so angry all the

00:29:39.500 time. I am so angry. I am worried about our country. I'm worried about my business. I'm

00:29:48.640 worried about my family. You are too. You're worried about gas prices. You're worried about

00:29:53.980 making the bills every single month. You know, you're shuffling. You've got credit cards that

00:29:59.900 you're juggling. Everybody's in this. Everybody's in this. You're worried about all kinds of things

00:30:07.000 and you're on the edge and you're angry and disenfranchised and you don't think anybody's

00:30:11.380 listening to you. Oh, man. I want to start there with the way all of us feel, because I want to

00:30:18.320 show you what happens when a whole society feels that way. Every civilization, everyone that's

00:30:26.460 ever risen, everyone that's ever collapsed has been built on the same raw material, us,

00:30:33.340 flawed human beings. Now, every civilization tells stories of, you know, monsters and saints,

00:30:41.360 but generally everybody's just a normal person, okay? And we're normal people with predictable

00:30:48.340 weaknesses. You can call them sins, you can call them drives, you can call them personality traits,

00:30:54.120 whatever, but it's just the way nature is, okay? The pattern is as old as we are.

00:31:04.060 Some people are driven by pride and they need to be seen as, you know, really, really good people, even when they're not.

00:31:15.400 They need to be seen as successful.

00:31:18.380 Some people are driven by anger, believing that the world has to be corrected no matter the cost.

00:31:23.900 I'm the one to do it.

00:31:24.900 I'm angry.

00:31:26.160 Some envy.

00:31:28.280 I'm just not able to tolerate somebody having something that I don't have.

00:31:33.340 A lot of people are just motivated by fear. They're so desperate for safety, they will trade

00:31:40.020 anything for safety. Others, deceit. Lying not just to others, but most importantly,

00:31:48.160 to themselves. And then the rest of us kind of fit and sloth. You know what I mean?

00:31:55.460 Not laziness in the physical sense, but just a refusal to engage, to think, to stand. I have

00:32:02.840 somebody else do it okay there are nine variations of all of these things that you know humans have

00:32:10.320 but the one reality is we're humans and we're frail okay well civilization everybody thinks

00:32:19.400 civilization is natural it's not natural it's not the default setting of humanity chaos is the

00:32:26.160 default setting of humanity. Civilization is an achievement and it's held together by guardrails,

00:32:34.380 some sort of guardrails or guards. If you don't have the guards, you have to have the guardrails

00:32:42.480 and those things restrain all of our weaknesses. And we think it's natural because we've been

00:32:47.880 living in a civilization that has been built over two millennia and it grew out of another

00:32:54.280 civilization that was thousands of years older, the Judeo-Christian worldview, okay?

00:33:00.680 Out of that worldview, we built systems over centuries. We got it wrong for a long time.

00:33:06.940 We had kings, and we had serfs, and we had barbarians, all of these things. 0.98

00:33:15.360 But it grew over time to compensate for what we knew what was broken in us. How do we hold

00:33:22.480 society together. And we built families to teach values early. We built faith traditions to call

00:33:31.540 us to something higher than ourselves. We built laws to restrain what that faith guardrail 0.94

00:33:39.080 sometimes fails to control. We built schools to pass down knowledge. We built a free press

00:33:46.100 so truth could be challenged, you know, with power. We built social norms. We built shame

00:33:54.280 and honor and duty to keep all of our behavior because we're all flawed human beings inside the

00:34:01.000 lines. None of these systems are perfect, not one, but together they form kind of a scaffolding,

00:34:08.880 okay? And all of that scaffolding, listen to me, all of this scaffolding comes from the Judeo-Christian 1.00

00:34:14.740 worldview. And that worldview is now under attack. It's that structure that allowed all of

00:34:25.580 us flawed people to live in relative freedom without destroying one another. It is the miracle

00:34:32.060 of the West. It's not perfection, but it's balanced. And now we are living in a society

00:34:38.220 where there are millions of people that believe that civilization is just something that just

00:34:42.680 pops up. We can destroy this civilization, and out of that vacuum is going to appear something

00:34:49.160 better and brighter and more enlightened. It's going to be fabulous. Out of what? How? When has

00:34:55.300 that ever happened? What fills a vacuum is whatever is strongest, fiercest, with the biggest club.

00:35:05.580 that's the root of civilization when you don't have any principles

00:35:15.740 so now we are intentionally targeting all of these guardrails we're taking them down one by one

00:35:26.420 one at a time they're all disappearing so what happens when truth becomes negotiable

00:35:35.820 when the press no longer informs it just persuades when education stops teaching you

00:35:43.380 how to think and starts telling you what to think curiosity is going to die when faith is hollowed

00:35:50.700 or mocked, there's no higher authority than just me, me, me, me, me, me. When the laws

00:35:57.940 are all selectively enforced, what happens? Justice becomes a weapon instead of a shield.

00:36:06.280 Are we not seeing that? When culture stops honoring responsibility, what happens?

00:36:12.380 entitlement comes in and fills the vacuum. And then what happens?

00:36:19.120 All those human frailties, they don't disappear. They now are expanding and growing stronger and

00:36:27.200 stronger and stronger. Pride becomes moral superiority. Fear is compliance. Envy is just

00:36:37.460 redistribution by force. Deceit, lies. It's just a narrative. Sloth is disengagement. Millions of

00:36:46.200 people watching, but not acting. We're just, I'm too tired. Do you see this pattern?

00:36:54.620 Because history is really clear. When individuals stop compensating for their own weaknesses,

00:37:01.500 they don't just harm themselves, which is another lie that was one of the first ones

00:37:06.700 start dismantling us. What you do doesn't matter. It does. Because once you start dismantling these

00:37:13.360 things in yourself, you become vulnerable. You're vulnerable to manipulation. You're vulnerable to

00:37:19.140 ideology. You're vulnerable to anyone who knows how to pull the right lever. And that's not a

00:37:25.800 theory. How do I know that? Have you ever watched a spy movie? Have you ever watched how espionage

00:37:36.340 works? How the mob works? A foreign power? Anybody who wants somebody on the inside that will do 1.00

00:37:43.640 their dirty work? Who do they go to? How do they find them? Every intelligence agency in the world

00:37:50.180 knows this. They don't recruit spies by accident. They don't recruit spies that are happy with their

00:37:57.760 life. They look for patterns. Find somebody who feels overlooked. Find somebody who is drowning

00:38:05.540 in debt. Find the person that believes they've been wronged by the system. Find the one who just

00:38:13.160 craves importance. Find the one that is afraid. When you're looking for somebody to turn against

00:38:23.300 their own country or whatever it is, they don't create the weakness, they exploit it.

00:38:33.140 Now, take that same principle and scale it from the individual to our entire society.

00:38:38.680 what happens when an entire society millions of people are angry they're afraid they're envious

00:38:46.640 they're disconnected from truth you don't need an invasion you have the pressure point

00:38:54.580 and if and i can't imagine this happening if someone foreign or domestic knows how to press

00:39:02.280 that pressure point everything begins to fracture from within that's how societies fall

00:39:10.280 and that's what's happening to us right now do you not think that around we just

00:39:15.340 data republican proved this just i think was yesterday or last week iran iran iran is funding

00:39:23.400 rallies that are happening in our cities we know that china is doing the same thing do you not

00:39:29.480 think that all of our enemies are not involved in our public discourse, looking to exploit all of

00:39:36.500 those things, those natural tendencies that Western civilization and all those guardrails

00:39:41.920 used to keep in check. Civilizations are not just conquered when somebody rolls in. They're

00:39:50.200 compromised first. Look at history. Rome didn't fall because the barbarians were strong. Rome fell 0.88

00:39:56.200 because it was weak everybody was just detached the institutions were hollowed out nobody believed

00:40:03.200 in anything its values now whatever by the time the gates were breached the collapse had already

00:40:09.220 happened now look now look around you think about how you just felt when i was reading those stories

00:40:17.020 because it's all those things that somebody if they're doing espionage would look and look for

00:40:21.420 and you and me. This is the part that matters. Not the noise, not the daily outrage, not the

00:40:29.360 headlines. It's a question none of us are asking ourselves. Are our guardrails holding?

00:40:39.000 Truly, it's not. Is truth still anchored or is it fluid? Are people being taught to think

00:40:46.300 or just repeat? Are institutions trusted because they're trustworthy or because dissent is

00:40:53.960 punished? Are we becoming more resilient or more easily manipulated? And are we as individuals

00:41:03.100 compensating for our own weaknesses or indulging them? Here's the thing I'm trying to remind

00:41:12.820 myself every day. I can blame politicians

00:41:14.700 and there's a lot of blame going to the politicians.

00:41:16.760 I can blame the media and a lot there too.

00:41:18.500 I can blame foreign actors, a lot there. 1.00

00:41:20.840 But no system collapses until

00:41:22.540 enough of us stop holding the line

00:41:24.480 inside of ourselves and that's where this all

00:41:26.540 begins and that's where it can still be stopped.

00:41:29.040 A free society doesn't

00:41:30.740 survive because it has

00:41:32.600 perfect leaders.

00:41:34.500 It survives because it has citizens

00:41:36.720 who recognize

00:41:38.100 their own power

00:41:40.380 and their own frailty.

00:41:42.820 And they choose discipline over impulse, truth over comfort, courage over fear.

00:41:48.900 That's the real safeguard here.

00:41:50.720 Not our laws, not our elections.

00:41:53.060 Honestly, not even the Constitution.

00:41:55.160 Those are only as strong as the people who live under them.

00:42:00.320 History is not a mystery.

00:42:02.140 It's a pattern.

00:42:03.980 And the warning signs are never hidden.

00:42:06.600 They're all lived every day in the choices that you and I make every single day.

00:42:10.400 So the question isn't whether societies fall.

00:42:13.200 They all do.

00:42:13.800 They all do.

00:42:15.120 The question is, can we recognize the moment we are all in before the fall becomes inevitable?

00:42:22.320 Are we willing to do the hardest thing in a collapsing age?

00:42:27.420 And that is, stop trying to fix the world.

00:42:33.420 Fix ourselves.

00:42:34.680 because that is where every civilization is either saved or lost its people think about this

00:42:42.380 who saved the world from fascism the united states of america was it our government was it fdr

00:42:50.280 or was it our grandparents and our great-grandparents they were the ones that went over

00:42:57.900 and fought it they were the ones that didn't turn into animals afterwards they're the ones that

00:43:03.680 didn't go on rape gangs after. They could have. Every other country does. Was that our laws or

00:43:10.860 was that our Judeo-Christian values, our civilization that had guardrails and then we

00:43:17.580 didn't need the guards? Some did, but most of us didn't. We had our own internal guardrails

00:43:23.880 based on those values. We're like, that's not us, man. That's not us. We're losing that.

00:43:31.660 that will not be passed on to the next generation.

00:43:35.620 It's barely there in those who are 20s and 30s.

00:43:39.380 It doesn't happen naturally.

00:43:42.660 And we have to set the example.

00:43:46.000 That's where we really need to focus.
