The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Stephen Moore ｜ 4⧸2⧸25

00:00:00.000 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:00:02.160 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:00:04.700 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:00:10.680 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:00:16.400 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:00:20.840 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:00:24.300 But you got there on time.

00:00:26.160 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:00:28.440 Certain conditions apply.

00:00:30.000 Some groundbreaking revelations about White House staffers preparing for the death of Joe Biden as far back as 2023.

00:00:37.500 Anybody care?

00:00:38.860 Anybody going to pay a price?

00:00:40.740 Also, Stephen Moore on all of the things that the tariffs might mean.

00:00:46.020 Good, bad, ugly?

00:00:47.140 We'll find out.

00:00:48.340 And the worst songs of all time.

00:00:51.060 At least the ones I'm still singing.

00:00:53.360 I'll explain on today's podcast.

00:00:55.880 There are a lot of real estate agents out there, and you can swing a dead cat around without hitting one of those.

00:01:03.020 There seem to be everywhere.

00:01:04.520 In a lot of cases, the dead cat would probably make a better real estate agent than the person on the sign there.

00:01:08.700 But I want to introduce you to the people that I trust that are different.

00:01:15.500 My company is realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:01:20.420 We vet these people like, honestly, like they're planning to marry my daughter.

00:01:25.960 You know, we sit there cleaning a shotgun while we're interviewing.

00:01:29.800 So, let me tell you, where are you taking my couple I just sent you?

00:01:33.660 What kind of houses are you taking?

00:01:35.520 You've been listening to them?

00:01:37.200 Okay.

00:01:38.080 We don't actually sit there with a shotgun.

00:02:52.300 Now let's get to work.

00:02:53.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:06.420 From the heart of the home of the free.

00:03:11.220 Dallas, Texas at the Mercury Studios.

00:03:13.520 Welcome.

00:03:13.900 It's the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:15.540 I don't know if you saw the news yesterday.

00:03:17.540 This is a little frustrating, predictable, but frustrating.

00:03:20.560 By 2023, Joe Biden's allies were quietly preparing for the unthinkable, we find out yesterday, his death in office.

00:03:32.860 By 2023.

00:03:35.000 I mean, I'm glad he made it.

00:03:36.860 I am too.

00:03:37.600 However, it wasn't unthinkable.

00:03:39.380 No, I know.

00:03:40.120 I know.

00:03:40.500 I just got to say.

00:03:41.620 Well, it was because they kept saying that he was in perfect health and he was never healthier than anybody else.

00:03:46.340 So there's a new book out called Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by Amy Parnas and Jonathan Allen.

00:03:55.360 Hey, thanks for the update now, guys.

00:03:58.200 We had no idea.

00:03:59.700 I mean, you did if you paid attention and you just you realized that you weren't being told the truth and you just watched.

00:04:05.680 But what we were never shown were the, you know, the the fluorescent tape marking his path at public events to keep him from wandering off.

00:04:17.300 Did you know that the death pool roster that the White House had that Kamala Harris's team drew up listing the federal judges who might swear her in if his heart stops?

00:04:27.580 Did you know that this was happening?

00:04:30.920 Did you know?

00:04:33.220 I mean, his health and his his brain activity was so bad that they had a resident makeup artist on hand all the time, not just to make him up to enhance his appearance in case he goes on television, but to mask the shell that he had become.

00:04:53.780 Um, Stephen Miller said they were literally Michael Jackson in him, a reference to the late pop star owned cosmetic cover ups while dismissing skeptics as conspiracy theorists.

00:05:06.140 In some days, Biden would endear and endure the makeup ritual only then to cancel all of his briefings entirely and call it a day.

00:05:17.780 What?

00:05:18.780 Uh huh.

00:05:19.820 So I want to know who sanctioned all of this.

00:05:22.420 Yes.

00:05:22.860 Because the aides knew it, all the leaders, leadership in the White House knew it, the people that applied the makeup knew it, the schedulers who cleared his calendar knew it.

00:05:32.360 I mean, why wouldn't they say were they protecting the president?

00:05:36.200 Because you're supposed to protect the presidency, the president and the presidency and the presidency is even more important.

00:05:44.960 And that's why if Barack Obama and we talked about this years ago, Barack Obama would have invited me to the White House.

00:05:50.940 I would have absolutely gone like Bill Maher did.

00:05:54.460 Uh, I would have been polite.

00:05:55.980 I would have, you know, shaken his hand.

00:05:58.660 I would be, I would respect him.

00:06:00.620 Respect the office.

00:06:01.220 Because I respect the office.

00:06:02.720 I don't have to like the man.

00:06:04.040 I respect the office because the office is more important than any man.

00:06:07.300 Then came the moments we're finding out in this new book of the cognitive unraveling.

00:06:13.720 Uh, it was there in plain sight.

00:06:15.520 But if you said anything about it, remember you were a conspiracy theory, a theorist.

00:06:19.640 So Swalwell, Eric Swalwell, the congressman, he comes to the White House and he's supposed to meet with the president.

00:06:26.720 They meet and Biden doesn't even know who he is, has no idea who Congressman Swalwell is.

00:06:34.020 Uh, Swalwell had to say, remember me, I'm a congressman.

00:06:38.940 I, I, I, I worked on this with you and this.

00:06:41.820 And he was like, oh yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:06:44.360 I remember.

00:06:45.480 Holy cow. 0.89

00:06:46.240 How did we make it through that?

00:06:47.280 Only God could have put us, got us through that.

00:06:50.000 I swear.

00:06:50.420 How did we not know?

00:06:54.020 Why were no cameras allowed to capture it?

00:06:57.020 Why didn't anyone say anything?

00:06:59.340 Why didn't, why were there no leaks on this?

00:07:02.280 This, you are committing an act of treason, I believe, to the country.

00:07:07.620 If you sworn an oath to the country, to the constitution, why are you not warning on this?

00:07:15.700 Who's making the decisions?

00:07:18.100 Why did no one sound the alarm?

00:07:20.320 Shouldn't, shouldn't Swalwell do it himself?

00:07:22.820 Of course.

00:07:23.720 Of course.

00:07:24.580 Then everything comes crashing down in 2024.

00:07:27.400 Biden steps down as the Democratic nominee.

00:07:30.100 It was forced on him by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

00:07:34.260 Uh, and then what we didn't see was the backstage backstabbing that was going on.

00:07:41.140 And Harris, remember when this happened, Biden came out and said, I'm stepping down.

00:07:46.460 No endorsement.

00:07:47.760 And then like 30 minutes later, this endorsement for, uh, for Kamala comes out, right?

00:07:53.480 Well, now we know what happened.

00:07:56.360 Kamala calls and says, Hey, you've got to endorse me or they're going to go for an open,

00:08:00.940 you know, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, they want an open primary.

00:08:03.940 You got to endorse me.

00:08:05.820 And so he does. 0.83

00:08:08.900 He endorses just to screw Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

00:08:14.080 Nobody's talking about the screwing of the system.

00:08:17.400 He's painted as a hero for doing something brave when he intentionally screwed the system

00:08:23.700 because he wanted to screw Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

00:08:27.580 Okay.

00:08:28.220 Nobody says anything about it.

00:08:31.400 Just the noble farewell to him.

00:08:33.580 He's just great.

00:08:34.400 Nobody heard about the power plays.

00:08:36.120 Nobody heard about the backstabbing.

00:08:37.500 Nobody heard about the subversion of the constitution here.

00:08:43.160 Okay.

00:08:44.740 Great.

00:08:45.860 And again, nobody says anything.

00:08:48.540 Nobody says anything.

00:08:51.160 Huh?

00:08:54.220 Why?

00:08:54.860 Why weren't we allowed to see and how deep did this actually run?

00:09:02.200 Who was responsible?

00:09:03.840 Who was giving the orders?

00:09:05.160 Who is telling everybody to shut up as they Michael Jackson him?

00:09:11.040 Why did no one say, I've got a real problem.

00:09:14.440 We have to put a little fluorescent stickies on the floor so he knows where to walk.

00:09:21.560 Isn't that a problem?

00:09:22.660 Well, there was nobody that said, by the way, we're just, we're just trying to line up the

00:09:27.380 right justice to swear her in because we want that, that photo op. 0.99

00:09:32.140 We want that to look really good.

00:09:33.340 We want the correct justice.

00:09:35.640 Holy cow. 0.89

00:09:36.800 What else don't we know?

00:09:39.280 What about the, the memos?

00:09:41.040 Any memos buried?

00:09:42.120 How about the doctors?

00:09:44.140 Remember when the doctors were going there like, no, he's fine.

00:09:47.320 He's fine.

00:09:48.200 He just, you know what?

00:09:49.120 I had a problem.

00:09:50.600 I had some toenail fungus and I asked him to look at my feet because he is so fine that

00:09:56.440 he's almost a doctor right now.

00:09:59.180 He's so sharp.

00:10:01.100 What happened in those?

00:10:03.060 Remember those meetings?

00:10:04.280 And the doctors came out and they were like, wait a minute.

00:10:06.300 Aren't you a guy that specializes in dementia?

00:10:09.100 No.

00:10:09.600 Why, why weren't we told this?

00:10:14.740 These are the questions that you must ask because no one else will.

00:10:18.720 Who else knew cabinet members, obviously the first lady, and I'm going to stop calling

00:10:24.200 them the press corps because they really are.

00:10:26.420 They're dead to me. 0.96

00:10:27.240 They're the press corpse. 0.96

00:10:28.520 They really are.

00:10:29.420 Let's pronounce that as it's, as it's spelled, pronounce it incorrectly because they are

00:10:35.560 the press corpse.

00:10:36.580 They're just, they're as useful as dead people.

00:10:41.820 Why, why were they so eager to debunk anybody as cheap fakes?

00:10:47.120 Why wouldn't they dig into any of these?

00:10:49.880 Why weren't we trusted with the truth?

00:10:52.100 What medical reports were suppressed?

00:10:56.740 Who gave the orders to keep this going?

00:10:59.460 And what's going to happen to the media?

00:11:01.520 All those that knew, here's what's going to happen.

00:11:03.160 Nothing.

00:11:03.700 Believe me, nothing.

00:11:05.640 They all knew at best.

00:11:07.680 They all just convinced themselves that it wasn't true.

00:11:10.720 They allowed their own mob to convince them that, you know, nobody really knows what the

00:11:14.680 truth is and it's better for America to hide it.

00:11:17.880 That's what they've convinced themselves of, but that's not their decision.

00:11:21.040 It's not their job.

00:11:22.560 It's our decision.

00:11:23.780 Their job is to tell American America the truth of what's really going on and let us

00:11:29.460 decide because this is all of our country.

00:11:32.440 This is not just the Democrats or the Republicans and certainly not the elites in Washington.

00:11:36.960 It's we, the people, not we, the press, not we, the educated, not we, the elite, but we,

00:11:42.680 the people, all of us.

00:11:45.640 We're paying a price for all of this.

00:11:48.240 Will they pay a price?

00:11:49.320 Will anyone who still watches them stand up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait

00:11:53.760 a minute.

00:11:54.360 I mean, I just read the New York Times and you're now covering all of the things you told

00:11:59.420 us were conspiracy theories on Ukraine.

00:12:01.960 In fact, it's worse than what the conspiracy theorists were saying about what we were doing

00:12:07.240 in Ukraine.

00:12:08.600 You told us that we weren't funding color revolutions with USAID, but now it comes out,

00:12:14.880 yes, we were the great reset conspiracy theory.

00:12:19.660 No, it's real COVID.

00:12:21.980 Nope.

00:12:22.340 Didn't tell us the truth.

00:12:23.140 Masks, vaccines, our kids being kept out of school, Russiagate on and on and on all of

00:12:29.540 the lies.

00:12:30.440 Will they pay with the price of the price?

00:12:33.620 They should pay embarrassment and shame for what they've done just for power.

00:12:40.640 No, they won't pay.

00:12:43.200 And you know why?

00:12:45.660 Because the tale that we are reading or expected to read in this new book out the tell all book

00:12:51.040 about how bad it really was and nobody knew except everybody knew the real story there of

00:12:59.260 Biden's decline is a mirror and it's not reflecting one man's fall, but it reflects our, our willingness

00:13:12.120 to look away until it's too late.

00:13:16.900 That has to change.

00:13:19.720 And until it does, it goes right back to the opening monologue in today's broadcast.

00:13:25.960 Donald Trump is at least telling us we have to do these things if we want to be competitive.

00:13:34.340 That's the closest we've gotten to a doctor that actually won that will tell you the truth.

00:13:41.420 The country has cancer and it's got to stop.

00:13:43.680 We have to cut it out.

00:13:44.920 So here's the chemotherapy.

00:13:47.300 It's these trade barriers.

00:13:49.820 You may not like them, but you hired me to cure the patient.

00:13:56.180 And I think chemotherapy is the only way and it's going to hurt a lot.

00:14:00.220 When's the last time you heard a president tell you the truth on anything?

00:14:03.620 When's the last time you heard the press tell you the truth?

00:14:06.480 And here's the truth.

00:14:08.900 Everything we're facing right now is a little scary.

00:14:13.220 And you know why?

00:14:14.920 Because we haven't faced it when it wasn't scary, when it was just a choice.

00:14:20.060 We made all of the easy choices.

00:14:22.960 You know this with your kids.

00:14:24.520 You're like, why would just put a little extra work into it and your choice, all these doors

00:14:30.300 will open up, but the more you don't do, the more you avoid, the more doors that close

00:14:36.180 for you.

00:14:36.680 And at the end, you're not going to like the doors that are left because they're going

00:14:40.760 to be so few and you're going to be like, okay, I guess I'm going to be that guy for

00:14:44.740 the rest of my life.

00:14:48.060 Well, that's what we're doing as a nation.

00:14:49.700 The same thing that we bitch about with our kids.

00:14:52.240 Just do the right thing and all of these options are in front of you.

00:14:58.680 But every day you choose not to do the right thing, those doors close more and more every

00:15:03.760 single day.

00:15:05.640 Let's open those doors back up. 0.99

00:15:08.300 But that requires all of us.

00:15:11.000 And I don't know if you're going to get those people.

00:15:12.700 I'm going to talk about it if I have time today.

00:15:14.620 I don't know if you're going to get those people that have been sucked into this system.

00:15:18.560 I mean, here's another example.

00:15:22.000 They're just showing you they lied to you.

00:15:24.620 They lied to you over and over again.

00:15:27.780 Are you ever going to be able to convince those people that are still watching the people that

00:15:32.660 lied to them?

00:15:34.360 You ever going to get them to wake up?

00:15:38.600 I don't know.

00:15:39.820 I honestly think that the left is creating a new Palestinian state.

00:15:45.620 They are creating the same thing that, honestly, they created over the last 70 years.

00:15:55.060 This bogus story about Palestinians. 0.97

00:15:58.580 This is their land and the Jews had nothing to do with it. 0.99

00:16:01.780 And whipping these people up into a frenzy to where they have no other options other than 0.99

00:16:08.440 kill the other side. 0.73

00:16:11.160 They won't listen to reason anymore. 1.00

00:16:14.020 They can't even see it.

00:16:15.620 Because they've been trained almost since birth to hate the other side.

00:16:20.520 And if you think that's hyperbole, just look at who is supporting the Palestinians and all of 0.82

00:16:25.500 the lies.

00:16:26.460 Look who is saying on October 8th, well, that's okay.

00:16:30.900 The Israelis deserved it. 1.00

00:16:33.260 What?

00:16:34.760 The same people who are the author of these lies about our country.

00:16:39.440 Let's pray for our neighbors and our friends and our family that haven't woken up yet.

00:16:48.740 You never know what's going to happen.

00:16:50.920 The future is completely open-ended.

00:16:52.680 Every day you have to climb out of bed knowing that pretty much anything could happen.

00:16:56.740 Given that, why wouldn't you do everything you can to make sure you're at least prepared for the

00:17:01.560 things that you see as possible?

00:17:03.860 You know, there's things that are just, you know, highly, highly unlikely.

00:17:07.420 Um, but so, such a bad impact, like, you know, fire insurance.

00:17:13.640 You've got to have fire insurance, right?

00:17:15.860 Because it's catastrophic if it happens, but it's unlikely to happen.

00:17:19.880 Well, one thing that's not unlikely to happen is somebody in the family gets sick while you're

00:17:23.560 on vacation.

00:17:24.160 Now, let's, let's increase the odds of not happening.

00:17:28.020 Let's say you, it happens in the middle of the night and you're in some place, you don't

00:17:32.300 have a doctor there.

00:17:33.320 You don't, the pharmacies are closed, whatever.

00:17:36.060 That could also happen.

00:17:38.100 Probable.

00:18:06.560 Now, back to the podcast.

00:18:09.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:16.140 Steven Moore, my good friend.

00:18:17.340 How are you, sir?

00:18:18.900 Good morning.

00:18:20.120 How are you, man?

00:18:20.880 Hi, Glenn.

00:18:21.380 Great to be with you.

00:18:22.280 Thank you very much.

00:18:23.680 Today is Liberation Day.

00:18:27.620 How are you feeling?

00:18:30.620 Well, you know, I think it's a Liberation Day, but I'm feeling a little maybe trepidation

00:18:35.920 day as well.

00:18:36.660 We'll see what that announcement is.

00:18:38.120 I'll be out there at the Rose Garden at four, so I don't know exactly the details.

00:18:41.820 I don't think anybody does except Donald Trump at this point.

00:18:45.300 Look, I'm a free trade guy.

00:18:46.660 I understand that the benefits of countries trading with each other benefits both countries.

00:18:53.080 But I would say, on the other hand, because this really is a debate where I could go on

00:18:57.120 either side of it.

00:18:58.660 Trump does have a very important point, Glenn, which is that we do.

00:19:02.200 A lot of people don't understand.

00:19:04.360 Now, you've got a wise listenership, but a lot of Americans don't understand that we are

00:19:08.680 the lowest tariff country in the world right now, among all the major trading partners.

00:19:13.200 And what Trump is simply saying is it's not a level playing field.

00:19:16.580 It's not fair.

00:19:18.980 These other countries are not playing by the rules.

00:19:21.260 And they need to trade with the United States.

00:19:24.240 So they better get their act together.

00:19:26.180 They better start treating us fairly or he's going to hit them with these tariffs.

00:19:30.260 Now, there is going to be some.

00:19:32.140 Yeah, I've been listening to you for the last 10, 15 minutes.

00:19:34.360 You're right, Glenn.

00:19:34.900 There will be some costs to Americans in terms of buying cars.

00:19:39.000 And we might see a little rise in prices of things.

00:19:42.160 Trump describes this as, you know, short-term pain for long-term gain.

00:19:48.680 And I think it's for every American to kind of figure out where they stand on this right now.

00:19:53.660 I'm a little bit worried about it, but I will say this.

00:19:56.020 Trump is the single best negotiator I've ever met in my life.

00:19:59.000 And I think in the end, he will prevail.

00:20:01.260 So is he going for just a strange level playing field?

00:20:07.260 I mean, you can't say it's a free market because there are tariffs involved.

00:20:12.640 But if our tariffs are only reflecting everybody else's, then it is a free market, if you will,

00:20:19.560 just trying to bring everything level up to the place where everybody else is.

00:20:24.780 Is that the goal here, which would lead me to believe there might be some short-term effects

00:20:30.940 because we could turn the negotiating power on pretty quickly?

00:20:34.960 Or is he trying to bring manufacturing back, which is, I mean, I think he's calling it Liberation Day

00:20:42.040 because it harkens back to World War II.

00:20:44.400 And he's liberating us from almost everything that we set up right after World War II.

00:20:53.200 He's saying, effectively, in almost every category, all of that stuff is broken and we can't do that anymore.

00:21:00.280 So is he saying, we're not going to be part of this global thing anymore.

00:21:03.760 We're going to bring manufacturing back here, and that's going to be tough,

00:21:07.240 but it's the only way to really, truly grow our economy by building things here.

00:21:14.160 Which is it or is it both, Stephen?

00:21:17.700 These are complicated questions, you know, and I can't get in Donald Trump's mind.

00:21:22.380 You know, look, let's start with why he won this election.

00:21:25.400 He won the election by winning blue-collar, you know, middle-class voters into the Republican Party,

00:21:32.220 many of whom, you know, had voted Democratic but realized that Trump was the one who really stood behind them.

00:21:38.400 I believe, Glenn, you know, the answer to your question about how do we make America number one in manufacturing

00:21:44.560 and, you know, obviously technology and other industries that are so important,

00:21:48.280 I believe many of the other things that Trump is doing, for example, our lead article in the Wall Street Journal this weekend

00:21:54.880 that didn't get a lot of attention on the front page was that, you know, that Trump is deregulating our economy.

00:22:01.480 It's going to reduce costs for American companies by as much as a trillion dollars.

00:22:05.820 That's going to make us very competitive.

00:22:07.740 I was just talking, hang on just a second, I was just talking about I'm not seeing enough about cutting the regulation

00:22:13.620 and also cutting of tax cuts because if you don't have those to go along with the tariffs, this isn't going to work.

00:22:22.180 It's just not going to work.

00:22:23.880 Yeah, no, great minds think alike, and that's exactly what I was going to say,

00:22:27.420 and it was almost like we were saying the same thing.

00:22:29.680 So, you know, you look at the tax plan that we put in, you know, Larry Kudlow and I put the very first version

00:22:35.560 of that tax plan together for Trump back, what, eight or nine years ago, and it was a huge success, huge success.

00:22:42.780 Glenn, one of my frustrations right now with the Trump administration, with the president, I love this guy.

00:22:47.600 I mean, I would, you know, I would go through a burning building for him, and he wouldn't do the same for the country.

00:22:52.800 Have you heard him talk a lot about the tax cut in the last month?

00:22:56.080 No.

00:22:57.200 No.

00:22:57.520 Have you heard him talk about deregulation last month?

00:23:00.080 No.

00:23:00.560 It's all been about tariffs.

00:23:02.180 Right.

00:23:02.380 And, you know, that's the medicine, but people want to see the good stuff.

00:23:06.040 There are issues that unify the Republican Party, like lowering tax rates, dereguling the economy,

00:23:12.120 pro-American energy policy, those kinds of things.

00:23:15.620 Frankly, the tariff issue is an issue that kind of divides us.

00:23:18.940 I mean, some of my best friends are in favor of it.

00:23:20.940 I'm kind of on the fence on it.

00:23:22.340 Others are strongly against it.

00:23:23.760 So I want to see Trump talking a little bit more about all of the benefits of these other things that he's doing.

00:23:30.980 I mean, the fact, I've waited 40 years, Glenn, for a president to say we're going to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education because it's totally useless and it probably does more damage to our schools.

00:23:41.280 Well, he did it.

00:23:42.180 I know he did.

00:23:42.600 I mean, I was there when he signed that executive order.

00:23:46.080 That was amazing.

00:23:47.060 He's doing incredible things for our country, but a lot of that gets overshadowed because all he's talking about right now is tariffs.

00:23:54.480 Well, he's got to bring a lot of people to the table.

00:23:57.080 So what do you think is going to happen at four?

00:24:00.360 I mean, he obviously picked four o'clock because the stock market is closed, right?

00:24:04.280 Yeah, I guess so.

00:24:05.660 I mean, you may very well be right.

00:24:08.340 I think it's going to be, you know, I don't nobody knows exactly what he's going to say, but I think he's going to call for 10 to 20 percent across the board tariffs on just about anything that comes in the U.S.

00:24:19.140 Now, that's going to raise prices.

00:24:21.360 I mean, if you put a tax on things that come in to some extent, you know, consumers will pay the cost of that.

00:24:27.380 But and then I think he's going to go after certain countries that are the worst abusers like China. 0.91

00:24:34.780 And I'm by the way, I'm all in favor of going after China. 1.00

00:24:37.300 I think China is a menace story. 0.99

00:24:38.560 You were one of the first people started talking about this 25 years ago.

00:24:42.600 So, you know, China is the enemy. 0.98

00:24:44.960 One thing I don't get and I say this with all due respect, because I do love this president.

00:24:49.700 I don't understand why we've had so much discussion about Canada.

00:24:52.700 And Canada is one of our most important allies.

00:24:55.360 And why aren't we talking about China and some of these other countries that are, you know, dangerous to our economic and national security? 0.99

00:25:05.880 Yeah, I've been questioning that.

00:25:07.740 So so let me ask you, best case scenario, what happens?

00:25:11.940 What do we look like in a year from now?

00:25:14.420 That other countries dramatically bring down their terrorists.

00:25:17.580 It's not just terrorists, by the way, Glenn.

00:25:19.840 And Trump's made an important point here.

00:25:21.660 It's also what's called what are called non-tariff barriers.

00:25:25.020 The fact that many of these countries have various rules that close the markets to American products.

00:25:32.680 And I'm not just talking about manufacturing products.

00:25:34.940 You know, we're the breadbasket of the world.

00:25:36.520 We have the greatest, most productive farmers in the world.

00:25:38.980 We produce more food and agriculture products than any other country.

00:25:42.560 And yet many countries lock out our wheat and our corn and our barley and our meat, our dairy products.

00:25:49.700 So I think if this works out and I would never bet against this president, I think you're going to see other countries having to open up their markets to American manufacturers and American farmers and American technology.

00:26:03.200 By the way, our technology companies are completely discriminated against by the Europeans in these other countries.

00:26:08.480 So there's a lot to be angry about.

00:26:11.800 Brussels said, I think yesterday or early this morning, we got war plans, you know, economic war plans.

00:26:18.580 You go ahead.

00:26:19.300 You launch these.

00:26:20.420 We're we're relaunching our own attack, you know, tomorrow.

00:26:26.340 Bluster or real?

00:26:27.460 I'm sorry.

00:26:27.800 Who said that?

00:26:28.980 Brussels.

00:26:29.800 Yeah.

00:26:30.120 EU.

00:26:31.840 Oh, the EU.

00:26:32.460 Yeah.

00:26:32.640 Right.

00:26:33.080 Right. 0.98

00:26:33.680 OK, well, let me address that, because, first of all, I'm so sick and tired of these sanctimonious Europeans. 1.00

00:26:41.980 We don't hang out enough, Stephen.

00:26:44.220 I just love you.

00:26:45.460 Go ahead.

00:26:46.820 OK.

00:26:47.340 I mean, you know, oh, my gosh, how dare Donald Trump do this?

00:26:50.300 You know, he's starting a trade war.

00:26:51.820 And I know what Donald Trump would say if he was on your show right now.

00:26:54.920 Yeah.

00:26:55.140 He would say, what are they talking about?

00:26:56.920 We are.

00:26:57.260 Our terrorists are one third as high as theirs are.

00:26:59.580 Right.

00:26:59.740 They've got a lot of nerve to say Trump is causing a trade war.

00:27:03.480 I mean, you know, it's like if I if I came up to you, Glenn, and punched you in the nose and then you tried to, you know, fight back.

00:27:10.000 And I said, how dare you start a fight with me?

00:27:12.100 Right.

00:27:12.360 I mean, so Trump has the moral high ground here because we do open up our markets in the other country.

00:27:18.960 By the way, there was a very famous incident that happened.

00:27:22.800 I wasn't there, but my buddy Larry Kudlow was there at one of the G20 meetings.

00:27:26.460 I think it was in Ottawa and the Europeans were sitting there, you know, complaining and grousing about Trump was talking about terrorists.

00:27:34.640 And, you know, I don't know if you're aware of this, but Trump is on the record.

00:27:38.200 People were there, said it.

00:27:39.400 Trump said, OK, you know what?

00:27:40.740 Why don't we all go to zero on terror?

00:27:42.680 I know what?

00:27:43.100 The Europeans ran for the door as quickly as they could. 0.87

00:27:45.460 I know.

00:27:46.020 I know.

00:27:46.560 I know.

00:27:47.000 So now tell me what tell me what you think is is is is a likely scenario if things don't go exactly the way.

00:27:55.840 You know, I just bring this up because Paul Krugman, you know, the New York Times, he said, you know, when when by don't dismiss the careful work of our statistical agencies because you're feeling angry on the checkout line.

00:28:08.020 I don't want to say that about tariffs.

00:28:09.780 I don't want I mean, it's going to make things harder to buy what you need and we shouldn't downplay that.

00:28:16.620 The president's not even downplaying that.

00:28:18.700 He says it's going to it's going to be a little painful for a while.

00:28:22.120 Right.

00:28:22.800 Yeah.

00:28:23.340 But people are on the edge financially and, you know, no amount of political theory helps people pay for the groceries or makes it feel better when you're paying for the groceries.

00:28:31.880 So I don't want to be in that camp.

00:28:33.180 What should people mentally prepare for that is a likely scenario, even if it turns out that it was the right thing?

00:28:41.680 What's coming our way?

00:28:43.980 So I think that Trump has has has has made a mistake here in the sense that we should have done this tax bill first.

00:28:55.920 Yeah, I agree.

00:28:56.340 And that would have been a huge victory.

00:28:58.280 Everybody understands.

00:28:59.400 I hope your listeners understand if we don't get this thing done, that we're talking about a three thousand dollar per family tax increase on January 1st.

00:29:07.980 And by the way, every single Democrat in the Congress voted for that, a three thousand dollar per family tax increase.

00:29:12.820 So we should I hope as he's talking about these tariffs, he links that to the fact that he's talking about, you know, a major growth enhancing tax reduction.

00:29:25.820 And, you know, I like his idea, for example, Glenn, where he said, look, if you're going to bring something into the country, you're going to pay a 15 percent tariff on it.

00:29:33.240 But if it's made in America where you're only going to pay a 15 percent tax.

00:29:37.460 I love that idea.

00:29:38.120 Let's do it.

00:29:38.760 Let's implement that right now.

00:29:41.000 I know what you're doing is giving a little bit of a favoritism to stuff that's made in Michigan and Ohio and Maine and Vermont.

00:29:46.960 My guess is he would have done that if he could count on the Republicans.

00:29:51.140 There's two groups of people.

00:29:52.460 I know there's two groups of people that worry me, Congress and quite honestly, the Justice Department.

00:29:58.640 I don't know where Pam Bondi is, but that's a different story. 0.95

00:30:01.500 But Congress needs to do their job.

00:30:05.180 Right.

00:30:05.880 And, you know, I think that you're right.

00:30:09.660 What are we, a day 80, 90?

00:30:11.620 I can't keep track, but it's amazing what Trump has done already.

00:30:14.280 I know.

00:30:14.500 But why is it?

00:30:15.560 I mean, Trump should have that tax bill on his desk.

00:30:18.020 He should.

00:30:18.560 It's popular.

00:30:18.940 He's got the voter mandate.

00:30:20.020 Why is the Senate that's sitting on this for five weeks?

00:30:25.860 Can't tell you.

00:30:27.500 I can't either.

00:30:28.320 Can't tell you.

00:30:28.900 I mean, what are we waiting for?

00:30:30.480 Tell me about the regulations that you're seeing.

00:30:36.580 Is the regulation, because tariffs, tax cuts, regulations.

00:30:41.660 Tell me about the regulations that you're seeing.

00:30:44.660 Is it significant, the regulation slicing?

00:30:50.280 Enormously so.

00:30:51.340 So remember, do you remember, Glenn?

00:30:53.300 What was the first thing that Joe Biden did when he became president?

00:30:57.200 Energy.

00:30:58.560 Yeah.

00:30:58.840 He killed all our energy infrastructure projects.

00:31:01.860 Right.

00:31:01.980 You know, that's something one of our enemies would have done to us, but Biden did it to

00:31:05.660 us.

00:31:06.000 He shut down the pipelines.

00:31:07.440 He put incredible, incredibly onerous climate change taxes on our oil and gas and coal industry.

00:31:15.620 Shut down.

00:31:16.040 Remember Hillary Clinton saying, well, that's OK.

00:31:18.020 The coal miners can become computer programmers or something. 1.00

00:31:20.580 That's working out.

00:31:22.400 Exactly.

00:31:23.460 So, you know, Trump is opening up our energy.

00:31:26.740 We have more oil, gas and minerals, by the way.

00:31:29.360 You know, this new Secretary of Interior, Governor Doug Burgum.

00:31:36.300 He's doing an amazing job.

00:31:38.260 You know, we have $10 trillion of mineable critical minerals in this country, in the mountains

00:31:45.440 of Utah and Dakotas and da, da, da.

00:31:47.360 We could do that.

00:31:48.260 We can do, you know, he's the, the, but what I want to ask you, we're going to allow more

00:31:53.040 mergers and acquisitions so our companies can be more effective.

00:31:56.780 It's all over the board on transportation policy.

00:32:00.760 And that's going to cut costs dramatically for American consumers.

00:32:05.560 And that's a really positive thing.

00:32:08.060 In fact, when I give talks to small businesses, you give a lot more talks than I do.

00:32:11.660 I always ask the men and women and I said, which is worse for you, the tax burden or the

00:32:16.600 regulation burden?

00:32:17.340 You know what they say?

00:32:18.440 Regulations.

00:32:18.820 Regulations.

00:32:19.460 Yeah.

00:32:19.780 Regulations.

00:32:20.380 Every time.

00:32:21.300 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.

00:32:23.260 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you

00:32:27.300 get podcasts.

00:32:29.220 So I remember when I first started warning about China's role in the fentanyl crisis.

00:32:34.500 This is years before we started talking about sanctions and sanctions today coming out.

00:32:39.740 You can't have sanctions on China high enough for my taste.

00:32:43.100 But every time I talked about China and their role in the fentanyl crisis called an alarmist

00:32:48.300 and conspiracy theorist, you know, you're just so eager to paint villains with a broad

00:32:52.440 brush.

00:32:53.680 I can't get a broad enough brush for villains, quite frankly.

00:32:57.120 And that was, I don't even know, eight, nine years ago.

00:33:00.880 And now it's in the headlines again.

00:33:02.980 Did you notice?

00:33:03.840 Yesterday, Congress confirmed it.

00:33:06.500 Experts have testified to it.

00:33:08.480 The truth is finally a little bit mainstream.

00:33:11.940 The Chinese Communist Party, or at least at the very least, elements within it have enabled,

00:33:19.720 subsidized, and promise and profited off of the flow of synthetic opioids, fentanyl.

00:33:27.820 OK, and they profited off of all of it coming into the United States.

00:33:31.980 And they knew what they were doing, what they were doing.

00:33:34.940 And I wish I felt vindicated today, but I don't.

00:33:38.480 The truth that was once dismissed is too dark to be real, is really only being proven to

00:33:44.700 be darker.

00:33:46.060 We have watched families bury their children.

00:33:49.660 We've watched our communities unravel.

00:33:52.960 We've read the reports and seen the data, and still, the scale of it is overwhelming.

00:34:00.980 But doesn't it all feel familiar?

00:34:03.780 Because we've been here before.

00:34:05.200 We have.

00:34:05.640 Only the last time, the roles were reversed.

00:34:09.600 Back in the 1830s, the British Empire had a problem.

00:34:13.840 China had things the British wanted, tea, silk, porcelain.

00:34:17.100 But the Chinese didn't want what Britain was offering.

00:34:20.040 So they had to come up with something else.

00:34:21.640 And they found a solution.

00:34:23.120 It was something that was grown in India.

00:34:25.940 Opium.

00:34:26.400 And the British started trafficking it into China.

00:34:30.320 And the result?

00:34:31.880 Mass addiction, social collapse, and eventually war.

00:34:35.960 Isn't that great?

00:34:37.140 The Chinese emperor tried to shut it down, tried to protect his people.

00:34:41.340 And for that, Britain just sent in gunboats.

00:34:45.320 They were called the Opium Wars.

00:34:47.220 And they weren't just about trade.

00:34:48.560 They were all about power, about profit, about poisoning a population that had to gain the upper hand.

00:34:55.780 It was evil then, and it's evil now.

00:34:58.000 And it's happening.

00:34:58.840 This is exactly what I told you was happening.

00:35:00.940 And now we've just confirmed it.

00:35:02.960 What Britain did to China, China is now doing to America. 0.86

00:35:06.540 And we are watching the replay of one of the worst songs ever in history.

00:35:13.140 Except it's just new instruments.

00:35:15.000 Some of them are digital.

00:35:17.300 Different players.

00:35:18.240 Same melody.

00:35:18.840 Same song.

00:35:20.360 And yet, like the empires of old, we pretend we don't even hear.

00:35:24.080 What song?

00:35:24.620 I don't know.

00:35:24.920 What are you talking about?

00:35:26.680 Fentanyl is the new opium.

00:35:29.480 And the Chinese Communist Party is the new merchant cartel. 0.98

00:35:33.040 And America, we're the addict. 0.93

00:35:35.480 We're hooked.

00:35:35.940 We're hollowed out.

00:35:37.080 We're held hostage.

00:35:38.900 But this isn't just about fentanyl at all.

00:35:41.940 That would be bad enough, but it's not.

00:35:43.680 It's worse than that.

00:35:46.040 Who's doing this to us?

00:35:47.400 China. 0.78

00:35:48.520 A country that is committing genocide. 0.93

00:35:52.280 Forced labor.

00:35:53.300 Slave camps is what we would have called them at one point.

00:35:56.800 The full spectrum of state-engineered suffering and death.

00:36:00.680 In China, over a million Uyghur Muslims have been swept into re-education centers, prison camps.

00:36:09.420 They've been beaten.

00:36:10.720 They've been brainwashed.

00:36:11.800 They've been sterilized.

00:36:12.880 They've been separated from their families.

00:36:15.200 Many of them are just put to work.

00:36:17.240 If they survive that, you can sew some clothes.

00:36:19.820 You can assemble some electronics.

00:36:21.160 And they're making the goods that we buy every day.

00:36:25.960 And here's what's horrible.

00:36:27.840 We know it.

00:36:28.800 We know it.

00:36:29.380 It's not a secret.

00:36:30.420 It's not even controversial anymore.

00:36:32.940 The U.S. government formally declared it's genocide.

00:36:37.080 Human rights organizations all around the world have documented the abuses.

00:36:40.820 Survivors have testified.

00:36:43.360 Investigators have traced the products made in those camps all the way to the shelves in our stores.

00:36:50.040 And yet, we just keep shopping.

00:36:51.560 I do it, too.

00:36:52.300 I'm not lecturing you.

00:36:53.380 This is monologue.

00:36:54.500 I'm far too egotistical.

00:36:56.020 This monologue really is about me.

00:36:58.600 Because we wanted our iPhones.

00:37:00.480 We wanted things to be convenient.

00:37:01.760 We want our cheap shirts.

00:37:03.360 We want our tech toys.

00:37:04.840 We want our solar panels and smart devices.

00:37:07.560 And if they're made by slaves, I don't know.

00:37:09.940 I mean, I don't know if that's even true.

00:37:11.860 Even though we do.

00:37:13.940 But we say we're against slavery.

00:37:15.960 Just not that kind of slavery.

00:37:17.780 You know, not the kind that makes our stuff more affordable.

00:37:20.280 Not the kind that, you know, happens behind a closed border that we can't actually verify.

00:37:24.920 I mean, really.

00:37:26.240 Not the kind that might raise the price of our lifestyle or cost us convenience in any way.

00:37:31.160 You know, like when Americans were against slavery before.

00:37:34.580 Unless it meant that, you know, you had to go out and work in the field and pay more for your cotton or do the things that others should do, you know, for free.

00:37:42.160 Because I own them.

00:37:43.800 It's the same thing.

00:37:46.140 The secret is we all like to consider ourselves moral.

00:37:50.640 But we like our morality abstract, clean, neat.

00:37:54.240 You know what I mean?

00:37:54.680 In a little box.

00:37:56.480 I would have stood up back then.

00:37:58.760 Uh-huh.

00:37:59.600 Really?

00:38:00.920 I would have spoken out against slavery in the 1800s.

00:38:03.780 I would have marched against fascism in the 1930s.

00:38:08.400 I would have said something.

00:38:09.960 Really?

00:38:10.560 You know, half the nation right now couldn't give you a correct definition of fascism.

00:38:14.280 And yet it is the most overused word in the English language, at least in America right now.

00:38:19.560 That and cisgender. 0.74

00:38:21.960 Fascism is everywhere.

00:38:23.380 Define it.

00:38:26.220 We'll fight against it.

00:38:27.500 I mean, unless it benefits us politically.

00:38:29.240 And remember, poll after poll shows growing number of us, we don't really have an opinion.

00:38:35.280 We're kind of undecided.

00:38:36.800 How are you undecided on all of this stuff?

00:38:39.720 Well, it's not clear.

00:38:41.280 I haven't paid enough attention to it.

00:38:43.040 I've been busy.

00:38:43.580 It's complicated.

00:38:45.600 And anyway, what could I do?

00:38:47.600 You know, I've said all of those things.

00:38:52.080 As I was reading this story about fentanyl, it was like just this giant finger pointing at me.

00:38:57.960 I've spoken out.

00:39:00.140 But I've thought those things.

00:39:01.260 I've said those things to myself.

00:39:03.060 As I was making notes for this monologue last night, I was typing them out on an iPad.

00:39:11.280 You know, in part built by those people who may not have had the actual option to go, I don't want to build that iPad.

00:39:18.940 I've sat here in this throne calling you to action and yet kind of making peace with my own compromises.

00:39:30.580 And I don't know where it's I don't know where to stop.

00:39:33.500 I don't.

00:39:34.020 I just know this.

00:39:36.500 I can't lie to myself about that anymore because the truth is collective sin.

00:39:41.320 Sin, I think, may be the most common sin among us, among me, my circle, my friends, my family, me.

00:39:51.600 We claim to know better.

00:39:53.280 We do.

00:39:54.980 I will come on here and I will preach about the power of the individual to make a difference.

00:39:59.140 We are swimming in complicity.

00:40:03.280 Why?

00:40:06.660 Here's what I tell myself.

00:40:07.920 I'm tired.

00:40:09.780 I'm tired.

00:40:13.080 Or I'm too entertained to get out of the water, quite honestly.

00:40:15.900 We look back at history and shake our heads.

00:40:20.760 How could they let that have happened?

00:40:22.600 How did they not see?

00:40:23.860 We're doing the same thing.

00:40:25.880 We are repeating almost everything from history at the same time right now.

00:40:30.780 How could the world ignore the signs of genocide?

00:40:34.480 How could Americans tolerate slavery?

00:40:36.940 How could so many good people do nothing while evil marched forward?

00:40:40.640 But here we are.

00:40:42.140 Millions of people are still enslaved today.

00:40:44.600 In fact, more than ever before, genocide, not in the past tense.

00:40:48.700 It's happening right now.

00:40:50.720 How about child sex slavery? 0.79

00:40:52.380 Don't want to talk about that. 0.91

00:40:54.180 We're ignoring it because it's inconvenient.

00:40:56.680 It costs too much to care.

00:40:58.400 It's too hard.

00:41:01.220 I think really because history's worst songs have a beat we find easy to dance to.

00:41:08.200 You look around today and you see all the old songs playing on repeat.

00:41:11.440 Economic slavery, propaganda dressed up as patriotism, the exploitation of the vulnerable, the weaponization of addiction, moral blindness passed off as just a nuisance, printing of money as the clowns of the printing press, you know, giving us all kinds of cakes and circuses, all the while telling us, no, it really, it's different this time.

00:41:29.980 And above it all, the lie we keep telling ourselves, well, in the past, I would have done the right thing.

00:41:38.000 Would we?

00:41:38.720 Would I?

00:41:39.380 I can't speak for you.

00:41:41.040 Would I?

00:41:41.800 Am I?

00:41:44.880 Fentanyl crisis is just, it's not a natural disaster.

00:41:48.360 It's not an accident.

00:41:49.280 It is a deliberate poisoning of our population.

00:41:53.880 The U.S. government has now admitted that China's regime has directed or at least enabled the flow of these drugs for strategic gain.

00:42:04.960 Destruction is not a side effect.

00:42:06.640 That's the point.

00:42:09.100 And what have we done about it?

00:42:10.500 Boy, these tariffs on China can't come fast enough for me.

00:42:12.980 And at worst, we enable it.

00:42:16.340 On the border, our government in the last administration, they partnered with it.

00:42:22.320 We've wagged a few fingers.

00:42:23.920 We've issued a few sanctions.

00:42:25.600 We sign a bill here or there, but we haven't changed.

00:42:27.900 We haven't sacrificed anything.

00:42:29.520 Who's buying the drugs?

00:42:30.920 We don't even want to talk about that.

00:42:32.500 Who are the child porn marketers selling the children to?

00:42:37.000 We don't want to think about that.

00:42:38.380 We don't even want to think about the question because we know the answer.

00:42:41.040 It has to be us.

00:42:43.960 And maybe one of our friends, family, neighbors, we just don't want to believe that to be true.

00:42:49.760 But for this problem to be this big, it has to be true.

00:42:58.100 And I've kept telling myself that, you know, my job is to make you aware of things.

00:43:02.460 But is that enough?

00:43:06.400 Because we're not just ignoring, you know, the worst songs of history.

00:43:10.360 We're humming along.

00:43:11.540 We're humming along.

00:43:13.980 I found myself last night thinking, I believe in the power of the individual.

00:43:17.660 More than anything else, I believe that one person can make a difference.

00:43:21.900 I say it over and over again.

00:43:23.780 I believe it is one of my core beliefs to the center of my being.

00:43:27.980 And then I find myself at times going, yeah, but what does it matter?

00:43:33.300 I've excused myself because I'm tired.

00:43:38.080 I've already done so much.

00:43:39.460 Oh, my gosh.

00:43:40.440 Boy, am I going to pay for that one.

00:43:42.280 I'm tired.

00:43:43.480 Somebody else should carry this for a while.

00:43:45.620 And nobody else is coming.

00:43:47.000 It's just, what are we going to do?

00:43:49.120 Honey, what are we going to do?

00:43:51.780 Well, nobody else is coming.

00:43:53.780 Oh, in the end, I just want to remind myself, it's just going to be me at the judgment seat.

00:44:00.040 Me, not the whole crowd.

00:44:01.380 Me.

00:44:01.620 There is no collective salvation, no collective judgment, except from historians.

00:44:07.920 But there is collective sin.

00:44:11.600 And the individual is still the only one that can break the cycle.

00:44:16.400 I don't want to be another comfortable coward in a line of them stretching back through time.

00:44:22.560 I really want my grandchildren to be able to tell the story that I stood up for what was right.

00:44:27.360 I wrote about it.

00:44:29.180 I talk about it.

00:44:31.640 Did I care enough to actually change my buying habits?

00:44:37.500 Holy cow. 0.89

00:44:39.840 How can I come to you every day and preach a message of individual salvation of Christ?

00:44:47.300 When I'm living and, I don't know, in my own life, living and building a world of collective excuses,

00:44:57.360 I can't say it more plainly than that.

00:45:03.960 What England did to China during the opium wars?

00:45:06.980 Evil.

00:45:07.500 They flooded a nation with drugs for profit, crippled its society, called it trade. 0.98

00:45:11.180 And now China is doing the same to us.

00:45:13.340 What China is doing now?

00:45:15.140 Enslaving people, destroying culture, erasing faith. 0.99

00:45:17.960 Evil.

00:45:18.920 And it rivals some of the darkest chapters of the 20th century.

00:45:22.600 And we're funding it.

00:45:24.800 What we buy matters.

00:45:25.860 What we ignore matters.

00:45:27.460 What we excuse matters.

00:45:29.780 And we're running out of excuses.

00:45:34.240 Shame on me.

00:45:36.220 Shame on me for knowing it and then not realizing what I was saying.

00:45:40.680 As I'm writing something to lecture you about it, and I look down and I'm looking at my iPad.

00:45:45.700 Shame on me.

00:45:50.040 I can preach.

00:45:50.980 As long as I continue to partake, it's okay. 0.96

00:45:55.540 I don't want to be a hypocrite. 0.96

00:45:56.940 I don't think anybody wants to be a hypocrite. 0.98

00:45:58.760 Do you? 0.95

00:46:00.220 I really want to be changed.

00:46:02.220 And if anything in this monologue has stirred you, maybe you feel like I do.

00:46:10.500 And I don't know what this all means.

00:46:12.180 I don't know.

00:46:12.760 But let's do something.

00:46:14.360 Let's stop pretending history is behind us.

00:46:16.460 Because it's not.

00:46:17.160 We're making history every day.

00:46:18.880 And I'd like to start making history in a different direction.

00:46:22.100 You know?

00:46:22.380 I'd like to stop singing the same worst songs.

00:46:25.960 Maybe we write something new.

00:46:28.200 Because the world doesn't need more outrage.

00:46:30.560 It needs more courage.

00:46:32.480 It needs more people that are willing to be torchbearers.

00:46:35.940 Let others see the light.

00:46:37.620 And they can join us or not join us.

00:46:38.920 It doesn't matter.

00:46:40.040 It doesn't matter.

00:46:42.400 But here's what does matter.

00:46:44.240 What we do in our own private lives, that matters.

00:46:48.420 Every minute that we have, that we live, matters.

00:46:57.380 Every day, every moment.

00:47:01.620 I can't speak for you.

00:47:04.060 I'm going to double my efforts every moment.

00:47:07.340 Just do the next right thing.
