Transcript

00:00:00.700 Finding the right life insurance can feel like finding the right podcast.
00:00:05.180 We get it.
00:00:06.060 So if you're looking for advice that isn't just the flavor of the week, we got you.
00:00:09.860 For over 80 years, Cooperators Financial Representatives have been helping Canadians protect what's important.
00:00:15.700 Taking the time to listen, understand, and build a long-term partnership, no matter the trend.
00:00:21.140 Start your life insurance conversation with a local Cooperators Financial Representative at cooperators.ca.
00:00:27.020 Life insurance is underwritten by Cooperators Life Insurance Company.
00:00:30.000 All right, on today's podcast, the latest with the J6 pipe bomber.
00:00:34.980 I don't know what's true and what's not.
00:00:37.520 Tim Walls, he's worried about people driving by his house and yelling, what exactly, at him?
00:00:43.940 And Sister Christina joins me in a remarkable, remarkable holiday kind of just somebody better than me and somebody probably better than you.
00:00:55.440 So that just sets a great example of what this convent up in Pennsylvania are doing.
00:01:02.280 It's a nice break from the everyday.
00:01:05.360 Sister Christina joins me on today's podcast.
00:01:08.980 Relief factor.
00:01:10.000 Sometimes you don't notice how much you adjusted your life around discomfort until something forces you to look at it.
00:01:15.240 Maybe you turned down an invitation.
00:01:17.140 Maybe you stopped doing a hobby, you know, that you once loved.
00:01:19.960 Maybe you start saying, not today, not today.
00:01:22.160 More and more often you start to say that.
00:01:23.940 It happens quietly, but it happens.
00:01:26.500 And that's how you know it's time for a change.
00:01:28.860 The relief factor was designed for that moment.
00:01:31.100 The moment you decide, you know what?
00:01:32.720 I'm not shrinking my life down to fit my pain anymore.

00:01:45.020 It's not a band-aid.
00:01:46.440 It's something your body can actually take and use and heal itself.
00:01:50.620 What people notice isn't just less discomfort.
00:01:52.740 It's that subtle shift from, wow, can I do this?
00:01:56.120 To, of course I can do this.

00:03:04.260 And thanks for standing with us.
00:03:05.520 Now let's get to work.
00:03:06.520 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:19.040 You're going to be seriously upset by this.
00:03:21.340 Okay?
00:03:21.960 And I am going to use, well, only because I have to.
00:03:25.700 Only because I have to.
00:03:27.360 And 99% of me wants to.
00:03:30.720 Okay, I lied.
00:03:32.040 102% of me wants to.
00:03:34.600 Use the R word in this particular case.
00:03:37.880 Tim Walls is upset because the president has called him retarded.
00:03:50.740 Now, I think he might be retarded.
00:03:56.740 I mean, and not necessarily, you know, I don't know what his IQ is.
00:04:00.720 Probably pretty low.
00:04:01.600 But, you know, I don't know if it's down to 60.
00:04:03.480 But his PQ is definitely under 60.
00:04:07.080 His political quotient is definitely under 60.
00:04:11.260 You know, the guy, he's, you know, I put him in the category of, what was his name?
00:04:19.200 Dean.
00:04:19.660 Howard Dean.
00:04:21.100 Yeah.
00:04:22.000 Remember that guy who walked out and we're going to go to Virginia and Kentucky and Minnesota.
00:04:28.580 Arizona.
00:04:28.980 Yeah.
00:04:29.760 And you're like, no, dude, you just lost.
00:04:32.460 You're not going anywhere past here.
00:04:38.120 I'm not sure that he is clinically retarded.
00:04:42.320 But in the playground sense, he's definitely retarded.
00:04:47.580 You know what I'm saying, Stu?
00:04:49.540 Yeah.
00:04:49.940 Like how, you know, kids used to say it back in the day.
00:04:53.280 Like that, that sort of.
00:04:54.560 Yeah.
00:04:54.700 The playground.
00:04:55.480 Yeah.
00:04:55.980 Yeah.
00:04:56.580 That general.
00:04:57.200 I mean, that's certainly that definition.
00:04:59.080 He would would apply to him, I assume.
00:05:02.160 And remember, remember, that's the same point to where all of us heard from our mothers.
00:05:08.160 There's sticks and stones can break your bones, but words will never hurt you.
00:05:12.720 Remember?
00:05:13.400 You remember that one?
00:05:14.020 Remember that one?
00:05:14.980 Yeah.
00:05:15.320 You know, when you were called retarded or whatever on the playground and you'd go home to your mom,
00:05:20.400 but they called me retarded.
00:05:21.860 And they, and your mom would look at you like, yeah, well, maybe you are.
00:05:26.040 Or she just immediately said to you, sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you.
00:05:30.980 Just remember that.
00:05:31.840 Just remember that, son.
00:05:33.320 Words can never hurt you.
00:05:34.360 Doesn't matter what they say about you.
00:05:37.740 We don't say that anymore.
00:05:39.320 It was pretty good advice, actually, especially with the Internet in mind.
00:05:43.920 I don't think that was what our parents thought of at that time, but it's much, much worse.
00:05:48.620 And much more people seem to be affected by the words are violence sort of, you know, thought process.
00:05:55.840 Like that is, that's real these days.
00:05:58.040 I also have a problem with a guy who, you know, surrounds himself with people who call the president a Nazi.
00:06:05.780 I don't know which one's worse, a Nazi or retarded.
00:06:09.240 Yeah.
00:06:09.820 Nazis were really bad.
00:06:11.000 That's actually a pretty serious accusation.
00:06:12.920 Nazis were very bad.
00:06:13.660 Fascist is another one.
00:06:14.980 Pretty serious accusation.
00:06:16.460 Yeah.
00:06:16.660 I will also note.
00:06:17.820 Or just weird.
00:06:19.220 Yeah.
00:06:19.380 That's it.
00:06:19.700 Yeah.
00:06:19.880 I was just about to say that.
00:06:21.640 That is exactly the reason he was on the ticket is because he was name calling other people and calling them weird.
00:06:27.700 It's the only his only qualification outside of he's, you know, massively inept and corrupt and all the other things that would, of course, qualify him to be on a Democratic ticket.
00:06:40.660 But outside of that, the only reason he stood out from all the other loser Democrats was that he said the word weird on TV once.
00:06:48.400 And Kamala Harris, who admitted, has admitted that the reason she made or at least the day that she made that decision, she was, quote, unquote, overtired.
00:06:56.320 Why would you point that out?
00:06:57.600 I don't know.
00:06:58.320 I don't understand.
00:06:59.220 But, you know, the only theoretical reason he was on the ticket was because he was calling people names.
00:07:04.820 He called them weird, which was another school, was another, like, school playground-like insult back in the day.
00:07:13.120 You're weird.
00:07:14.020 Weirdo.
00:07:14.360 Yeah, weirdo.
00:07:15.300 Yeah, that was the way it was.
00:07:17.620 And so he's able to enjoy the benefits of calling people childish names.
00:07:23.260 But when he gets called those names, it gets really scary for him.
00:07:28.160 I know.
00:07:29.020 Well, he hasn't listened to his mother.
00:07:32.240 He thinks words can actually hurt him.
00:07:34.820 Now, Stu, do we know, does he agree?
00:07:37.920 Does he agree with the state senator that says that Minnesota won't survive without Somalians?
00:07:51.200 Can we play this, please?
00:07:52.400 State senator Zayda Mohammed says these attacks won't stop with Somalis, and their contributions can't easily be erased.
00:08:00.040 We are in every industry, and Minnesota would not be able to survive nor thrive without the Somali community here.
00:08:06.480 Sounded for him.
00:08:07.560 Hmm.
00:08:09.300 Really?
00:08:10.260 Was that accurate?
00:08:11.920 The state of Minnesota cannot survive without the Somali community.
00:08:16.960 Now, my understanding was that they are relatively new to the state, which has survived for a very long time before their arrival.
00:08:25.460 I would also know, Glenn, and you might be able to help me with this one.
00:08:29.520 This one's, we're going to get deep here, though.
00:08:31.500 And I understand at times the audience hears us get deep into science and mathematics and all these.
00:08:39.660 Oh, we're known for that.
00:08:40.540 We're known for that.
00:08:41.620 We're known.
00:08:42.060 And I can understand sometimes it might be confusing.
00:08:44.000 You're like, you're driving to work, and you're like hearing all these numbers, and you can't, you can't, you know, maybe if you looked at them on a spreadsheet, you'd be able to recognize what's going on.
00:08:52.660 But, you know, when you're in your car, it's hard to internalize all this.
00:08:56.060 So I'm going to try to lay it out, because I don't understand it, and maybe you do.
00:08:59.700 What we understand is about a billion dollars of fraud, not all of it from the Somali community, but the vast majority of it seemingly coming from the Somali community.
00:09:08.900 And then the comeback to that was that the Somali community pays about $67 million in taxes every year.
00:09:19.960 So can you do the math on this?
00:09:23.440 One of the numbers is a billion, and the other one is $67 million.
00:09:27.740 Which one do you think is more important?
00:09:30.540 Which one's higher?
00:09:32.740 Do we need to get, like, AI?
00:09:34.140 Well, as Tim Walz, as Tim Walz, I think that $67 million.
00:09:41.300 $67 million.
00:09:43.360 $67 million.
00:09:43.840 Do I mind it?
00:09:45.600 Or a billion?
00:09:46.720 That's the question.
00:09:47.740 Which one's larger?
00:09:49.400 Do we have a game show?
00:09:50.760 That would leave me with four.
00:09:51.640 Music.
00:09:51.920 Leave me with four.
00:09:54.860 Four.
00:09:55.460 Now, if you think about it, Glenn, the first number in both of those, like, one billion, the first number is a one.
00:10:02.620 $67 million, the first number is a six.
00:10:04.860 So is $67 million six?
00:10:06.600 Six is bigger than one.
00:10:07.360 Right.
00:10:07.720 Is it six times bigger?
00:10:08.860 Six is bigger than one.
00:10:09.440 That might be what's going on here.
00:10:10.720 I would say there are 933 reasons to say anyone who says that that math works out is retarded.
00:10:22.780 Okay?
00:10:23.600 It doesn't work out.
00:10:24.980 Now, look, even though, because here's what they say.
00:10:26.980 They generate $500 million every year.
00:10:31.620 Okay.
00:10:32.580 All right.
00:10:33.240 And then they give back out of that, their taxes out of that, which this itself doesn't make sense to me.
00:10:39.000 The $500 billion in revenue is what they generate, but then they pay in taxes $67 million.
00:10:47.040 But what we're missing here is the $1 billion of fraudulent money being taken from the taxpayer.
00:10:57.960 So the $500 million doesn't do anything.
00:11:01.780 Okay?
00:11:02.380 That's going to the Somali community.
00:11:04.160 Yeah.
00:11:05.600 Half.
00:11:06.160 Half.
00:11:06.600 I dare I say it, Stu.
00:11:08.300 Half the size.
00:11:09.440 Let me ask Grock.
00:11:10.420 Okay.
00:11:10.840 All right.
00:11:11.640 Okay.
00:11:12.180 I don't know.
00:11:12.920 Can Grock do that?
00:11:13.680 That's like a 10-year problem.
00:11:15.380 10-year problem.
00:11:16.760 Anyway, you've got half.
00:11:20.240 All right.
00:11:20.640 That number doesn't even.
00:11:21.880 You've got $1 billion that has been stolen.
00:11:25.300 $67 million that has been paid in taxes.
00:11:28.400 That leaves $933 million that is a deficit.
00:11:35.720 It's that you remain $933 million in the hole.
00:11:43.740 I think we could survive without that.
00:11:46.440 I mean, sure, we don't get your $500 million.
00:11:49.740 But that's okay.
00:11:55.000 That's okay.
00:11:55.840 Because we'd have a billion dollars that you didn't take.
00:11:59.480 Yeah.
00:11:59.960 That's right.
00:12:00.860 I think we'd be ahead.
00:12:01.780 And also, I note the people who are paying.
00:12:03.980 By the way, that's if we took every Somali and just lumped them into this.
00:12:09.640 Right.
00:12:09.960 Which not.
00:12:10.580 No.
00:12:11.060 I mean, I'm sure there's some Somalis that are part of that $500 million that are not crooked.
00:12:18.280 They can stay.
00:12:20.040 They're fine.
00:12:20.780 I'm certain of that.
00:12:21.700 And in fact, I would argue those are the people likely paying the $67 million in taxes.
00:12:27.020 The people who were stealing all the money weren't paying taxes on it, which is kind of the problem.
00:12:32.620 In fact, all that money that came from the state was specifically designed so they didn't have to pay taxes on it.
00:12:38.860 The programs were designed, of course, when you're talking about a low-income person, right?
00:12:43.500 You're not going to charge them taxes on their autism treatment.
00:12:48.280 But, of course, those weren't really treating kids with autism.
00:12:52.200 So the actual productive members of the society were instead paying those taxes to fund the corrupt Somalis who were stealing all the money.
00:13:04.120 And, you know, again, we've made this point a million times, and I think it holds here.
00:13:08.740 Maybe treat people like individuals, right?
00:13:10.960 Maybe don't – people – there are members of the Somali community that I'm sure are very important to the state.
00:13:20.440 They probably are great.
00:13:21.360 There's probably great people in that community.
00:13:22.860 But I can tell you, we know with these charges that there are a lot of people who were not living up to that expectation, and those people should be punished.
00:13:30.080 We shouldn't hide from it.
00:13:31.500 We shouldn't act as if this wasn't a massive problem in this group of people.
00:13:36.500 Charge the people responsible for it and stop acting like we need them to survive.
00:13:40.840 We don't need criminals to survive as a country or a state.
00:13:44.560 Let me just – I have to go back to Tim Walls being upset about the retarded thing.
00:13:56.760 Play cut, too, please.
00:13:58.700 This creates danger.
00:14:01.640 And I'll tell you what, in my time on this, I'd never seen this before.
00:14:05.280 People driving by my house and using the R word in front of people.
00:14:09.500 This is shameful.
00:14:10.480 And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official, say, you're right, that's shameful.
00:14:16.820 He should not say it.
00:14:17.680 So, look, I'm worried.
00:14:18.680 We know how these things go.
00:14:19.900 They start with taunts.
00:14:20.960 They turn to violence.
00:14:22.060 So, deeply concerned.
00:14:24.780 Founder of the taunt of weird thinks that that taunt could lead to violence.
00:14:30.260 That's so strange.
00:14:32.460 Who's living in the world of, he's a fascist Nazi.
00:14:36.660 All right.
00:14:38.220 Now, suddenly –
00:14:39.620 Man, I've never seen this.
00:14:40.820 I've never seen anything like this, Stu.
00:14:42.960 Never seen anything like this.
00:14:44.400 I'm in my house, and people are driving down my house and rolling down their windows, and they're just screaming retard out.
00:14:50.340 That's going to lead to violence.
00:14:51.620 That's going to lead to violence.
00:14:53.060 No.
00:14:53.720 No.
00:14:54.320 I mean, it's not nice, and it's wrong.
00:14:57.780 Jesus wouldn't have done it.
00:14:59.020 But I don't think Jesus had to put up with all these retards as politicians, quite honestly.
00:15:05.560 So, I mean, I can't answer for that.
00:15:09.700 I don't know.
00:15:10.760 I'm not a biblical scholar or a scientist or a mathematician.
00:15:14.380 We've learned that.
00:15:16.020 We've learned.
00:15:16.580 We can't even tell numbers apart.
00:15:18.400 But I will say, while you're right, it's obviously not – I wouldn't tell my – teach my children to behave that way, to drive by Tim Walz's house.
00:15:28.060 It is shameful.
00:15:28.700 I will say it's wrong to do – I will also say it's objectively funny, picturing Tim Walz looking out his window and hearing people yell the R word at him when he's going out to get his mail, and people – like, it's objectively a funny scenario.
00:15:45.660 It is.
00:15:46.560 It is funny.
00:15:47.640 It is funny.
00:15:48.240 It's bad.
00:15:48.900 It's wrong that it's funny.
00:15:50.600 No, it's horrible.
00:15:51.380 But it's objectively funny.
00:15:54.280 There's no way.
00:15:55.540 There's no other way to read it.
00:15:57.120 And look, I'm sure the left laughed because – I mean, think about what they do with J.D. Vance.
00:16:04.520 They called him weird, right, because God, he came up from a very poor upbringing and rose to the levels of – high levels of wealth and achievement and power.
00:16:15.300 They called that weird, that he loved his family.
00:16:19.260 And they celebrated.
00:16:20.300 We call that the American dream.
00:16:21.680 Yeah, that used to be the American dream.
00:16:23.140 Now it's weird.
00:16:23.680 But they, of course, yelled this at him all the time.
00:16:27.440 They make the meme of him looking like, you would say, potentially retarded would be the example of the meme that they've created to mock J.D. Vance.
00:16:36.940 They constantly mock him with this.
00:16:38.760 But that doesn't lead to violence.
00:16:40.360 Calling people Nazis doesn't lead to violence, despite the fact that we've seen the President of the United States take a bullet from – after all of this has happened.
00:16:48.920 We saw Charlie Kirk get assassinated on stage after people said that about him.
00:16:54.640 But it's the R word being yelled at Tim Walls when he goes to get his – when he waddles out to get his mail.
00:17:02.300 That's the thing we're supposed to be concerned about?
00:17:04.860 No.
00:17:05.300 No.
00:17:05.780 I'm sorry.
00:17:06.060 I mean, I don't want to see this in real life because I don't want it to happen because it is wrong.
00:17:10.600 But I do want somebody to create an AI reproduction of just some kids driving by and he's in his fuzzy slippers getting the newspaper in the morning.
00:17:22.660 And these kids, like in American graffiti, going, hey, retard!
00:17:27.080 I mean, I do kind of want to see that.
00:17:29.540 I do.
00:17:30.400 I do.
00:17:30.840 Something AI is good for.
00:17:31.840 It's wrong.
00:17:32.160 It's wrong of me.
00:17:32.860 And I'll be – yeah.
00:17:33.860 Yeah.
00:17:36.060 Let me tell you about our sponsors, Patriot Mobile.
00:17:38.760 Everywhere you look today, big corporations are trying to tell you what you should value, what you should believe, what you should support, how you should think.
00:17:46.000 You know, and they use your money to push that damn agenda.
00:17:48.900 And then they pretend that they're speaking on your behalf.
00:17:51.520 But they're not.
00:17:52.520 And you know it.
00:17:53.360 I know it.
00:17:54.360 That's why Patriot Mobile matters so much, at least to me.
00:17:57.180 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:17:59.780 And they do not use your bill to fund the latest social campaign or political movement.
00:18:04.880 They let you decide what your money stands for.
00:18:07.960 They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, and the men and women who serve this country because, you know, not because it's trendy, but because it's right.
00:18:19.300 And here's the best part.
00:18:20.120 You still get the same nationwide coverage you're used to, the same towers, the same quality, same reliability, but a fraction of the cost.
00:18:27.220 The only thing that changes, really, is the cost you're paying and where your money goes.

00:18:52.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:58.400 Stu, why?
00:19:00.000 Why today?
00:19:01.060 Out of all days?
00:19:02.080 I've been good for months.
00:19:04.000 I've been polite.
00:19:04.960 I've been nice.
00:19:05.760 I've been peace-loving.
00:19:07.200 I get up this morning.
00:19:08.360 I'm in a very bad mood.
00:19:09.900 I start the show in a very bad mood.
00:19:13.020 And then I'm like, you know what?
00:19:14.800 I don't care anymore.
00:19:15.840 And then that becomes even more dangerous.
00:19:17.740 And I start name-calling.
00:19:18.820 I haven't name-called in how many months?
00:19:20.720 I haven't name-called.
00:19:21.880 And now what happens?
00:19:24.820 I have nuns on.
00:19:27.240 Really nice.
00:19:28.640 Really nice nuns.
00:19:31.740 It seems to me it's the perfect day for it, Mr. Glenn.
00:19:35.040 You've been a very bad boy.
00:19:36.440 And maybe a little reflection would help.
00:19:39.880 Here's what I'm hoping.
00:19:41.200 Okay, I have been reflecting ever since I looked at the schedule.
00:19:43.900 I was like, oh my gosh, the nuns are on today.
00:19:45.880 So I have been reflecting and repenting.
00:19:48.280 But here's the good news.
00:19:51.640 They are the kind of nuns that just pray all the time.
00:19:56.000 So they probably don't have the internet or a radio.
00:19:58.600 So I'm hoping they haven't heard any of the show.
00:20:03.500 They may not even know who I am.
00:20:05.460 That would be a great blessing.
00:20:06.700 God hears, Glenn.
00:20:08.120 God hears.
00:20:10.620 Yeah, but the nuns I have to deal with today, God, I have to deal with later.
00:20:15.360 The nuns I have to deal with right now.
00:20:17.160 So I'm really excited to have Sister Christina join us.
00:20:22.120 She is a Capuchin sister of Nazareth out of Pennsylvania.
00:20:27.920 This is a group in a convent that lived together, and they got an invite, a letter from And Then There Were None.
00:20:37.860 Now, this is the organization we've had.
00:20:39.880 Who runs And Then There Were None?
00:20:41.160 What's her name?
00:20:42.060 She's been on for a million times.
00:20:44.240 She's great.
00:20:45.000 And she wrote a letter to all of the convents and said, hey, you should know not Agatha Christie.
00:20:51.700 She wrote the book.
00:20:52.800 She reached out and she said, now's the time that we would like to get some of these abortion workers that, you know, it's the holiday season.
00:21:03.700 Maybe if we write them Christmas cards, et cetera, et cetera, and send them out to all the abortion clinics, maybe some of them will go, you know what, now is the time to get out of the abortion industry.
00:21:14.720 And so this group of nuns up in Pennsylvania started doing it.
00:21:19.240 And they have been sending these letters out to these abortion clinics, not, you know, not being nasty or not being basically like I have been all day today, being nice and kind.
00:21:30.620 And I just thought it was such a cool story when I read about it.
00:21:33.580 And Sister Christina is with us now.
00:21:35.500 Hi, sister.
00:21:35.940 How are you?
00:21:36.880 Hi, Glenn.
00:21:37.300 I'm good.
00:21:39.080 Good.
00:21:40.000 You don't happen to have radios or computers or anything, right?
00:21:45.220 I mean.
00:21:45.520 We don't.
00:21:46.200 We, we're Capuchin Franciscan, so we just live a real simple, a life of simplicity.
00:21:53.400 Good.
00:21:54.260 Good.
00:21:54.980 Because, I mean, you know, not that I've been misbehaving before your appearance or anything like that, but I'm glad that you're, I'm glad that you're, what is it like not to have a computer and phones and everything else?
00:22:07.000 I mean, it's like, it used to be normal.
00:22:09.580 Now it's not at all.
00:22:11.320 Well, people, when they hear we don't have these things, they always say, oh, aren't you blessed?
00:22:18.580 And I was like, well, you could, you could do it too.
00:22:20.740 So, so I, it's a, I think we're the happiest people on this earth too.
00:22:27.260 Not, not just because we don't have technology, but because we have, we have the Lord.
00:22:32.840 I think, you know, it's, I've always thought of this with the Amish too, because, you know, they don't have anything.
00:22:37.460 And I think they, they've just decided to not live in the, you know, this world.
00:22:45.320 They've not, they, they live in it, but they don't embrace it.
00:22:48.620 They don't become part of it.
00:22:49.860 And I, I think there's something to that lifestyle that, that you're living that we probably should do more of.
00:22:56.480 Anyway, so, so tell me the story of writing these letters.
00:23:00.300 Well, we were approached by the organization and then there were none, which was founded by Abby Johnson.
00:23:10.320 And I believe, I believe in 2012.
00:23:14.200 And so we just received a letter from them.
00:23:17.320 So I'm assuming they saw, we do have a website.
00:23:20.140 So capuchinsisters.com.
00:23:22.360 So we don't have the computer, but someone will run the website for us.
00:23:27.600 The best way to do it.
00:23:28.960 So that's how, you know, most young women will find out about us and things.
00:23:32.920 So they wrote us a beautiful letter and just, I explained, I had heard of the organization, but never about, you know, any of the ministries they were doing.
00:23:42.280 But they have a ministry where they're basically just writing a Christmas card to the actual abortion clinics.
00:23:50.620 So to the workers in the clinics and just, just a brief message of prayer and Christmas greeting.
00:23:58.960 And we can make it very personal and just inviting them out of the life that they're living.
00:24:05.800 And what we do is we, we include in the Christmas cards and then there were none's business card.
00:24:15.120 So that way they have this card in their hand where they can reach out for help through it.
00:24:22.040 And then there were none.
00:24:24.840 I would imagine that there are very different reactions to that.
00:24:32.880 Those who would be really angered by it and, you know, make a big deal out of it that way.
00:24:38.380 And then the others who have been thinking this way and just don't know what to do.
00:24:43.840 Have you heard of the reactions?
00:24:46.780 Have you, do you know if this is reaping any results?
00:24:50.400 Definitely reaping results.
00:24:52.060 So the first time we received, we've been doing this for maybe three or four Christmases now.
00:24:56.800 So the first time we received a letter, I think, and then there were none, said they had 300 abortion workers leave so far.
00:25:06.900 Not just through the Christmas card ministry, but through all the ministry they do throughout the year.
00:25:11.360 Just this last letter I received from them, they said they have 700, over 700 workers that have left the abortion industry.
00:25:23.200 That is fantastic.
00:25:24.360 So can I ask, how do you recruit for, like, your job?
00:25:32.180 I mean, because I went to your website, and you guys are all young.
00:25:34.980 I grew up Catholic.
00:25:36.420 We didn't have any young nuns at the time.
00:25:40.820 We had one, Sister Julie, my third grade teacher, and I had a huge crush on her.
00:25:44.340 But you're all generally, at least on the website, very young.
00:25:52.400 How does a young woman come to be a nun today?
00:25:57.220 So to find our community, most young women are looking on the Internet, and that's why we decided to have a website, because that's where most young women are.
00:26:05.480 So typically a young woman will see our website, and then she'll have to be brave enough to at least call.
00:26:14.020 So there's no texting, because this is a landline I'm speaking to you on.
00:26:17.560 So just call or write, which are very kind of foreign ways of communication in this day and age.
00:26:27.260 Most people don't know how to use a landline anymore.
00:26:29.980 So what do you guys do?
00:26:33.960 So our main ministry is really prayer.
00:26:37.700 So we're called Contemplative Sisters.
00:26:40.620 So that would come from the word contemplation.
00:26:42.900 So our main work we really consider is prayer.
00:26:46.640 So we live a life of deep, deep prayer.
00:26:50.860 And a lot of times, especially I think young women get the idea of like, oh, I could just never be on my knees all day praying.
00:26:57.660 And that's not what it is at all.
00:26:59.640 And you can see from the beautiful joy, the pictures on the website, we live a very full life.
00:27:05.260 A very full life, a very poor life, because we choose, we want to be poor, and we live the charism of St. Francis of Assisi, who chose to follow Christ poorly.
00:27:17.100 But we live a rich, rich life of community as well.
00:27:21.740 So we're like a real sisterhood, like a real family.
00:27:25.580 But our primary work we really consider is our prayer.
00:27:29.260 And when you say prayer, is it a prayer in all that you do kind of thing, or is it actually structured prayer time or both?
00:27:40.940 Both, both, really.
00:27:42.220 So we do have definitely structured prayer time.
00:27:45.880 So we rise in the middle of the night, actually, for a night vigil at 2 a.m.
00:27:51.900 And then that would be like the beginning of our day.
00:27:55.480 And then, but we make that sacrifice.
00:27:57.020 Wait, hold it.
00:27:57.760 Wait, that's the beginning?
00:27:58.520 Do you go back to bed after 2?
00:28:00.560 We do.
00:28:01.000 After that prayer, or do you?
00:28:03.580 After that prayer, we go back to bed.
00:28:07.020 So it's called a vigil, a night vigil.
00:28:09.760 So we always say we get to go to bed twice.
00:28:13.480 So we kind of equate that.
00:28:15.220 I think, I mean, I know I'd have to be a woman to join the convent, but I think that would count me out.
00:28:21.100 I think it'd be like, wait, I got to get up at 2 o'clock every day.
00:28:25.040 We like to equate it to.
00:28:25.900 How hard is that?
00:28:26.900 You get used to it.
00:28:28.900 I mean, it definitely is a sacrifice.
00:28:31.040 But we like to equate it to the vocation of a mother and mothers and fathers who get up in the middle of the night to their crying child.
00:28:39.720 Like they wouldn't think twice about it.
00:28:41.400 So we are not physical mothers, but we're spiritual mothers, mothers of souls, in that we are brides of Christ.
00:28:51.220 So all of his children are our children spiritually.
00:28:54.380 And our children, I like to say, they're always crying.
00:28:57.060 They're always crying out for prayer, for sacrifice, for God, ultimately.
00:29:03.180 So we, you know, like to equate that to our spiritual motherhood.
00:29:09.000 Sister, you, you, you know, you don't have phones and computers and everything else, but I'm sure you're very well aware.
00:29:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:21.940 That's what I mean.
00:29:22.800 You're not on social media.
00:29:24.180 But I'm sure you're aware of the conditions that are happening in our world.
00:29:29.740 What are your thoughts on where our world is headed?
00:29:35.840 Well, it's certainly a sad state, especially, you know, considering this ministry that we're doing with and then there were none.
00:29:44.660 And one of the things we do with these cards is after we write them, we'll place them on our altar, just praying that God will get them into the right hands.
00:29:54.140 Those that, you know, are working in these industries and maybe on the verge of conversion.
00:29:59.200 And I had them on our altar and a young father came to visit our chapel.
00:30:04.900 And he said, I said, these are cards that we're sending to abortion clinics, to the workers, to invite them out of this way of life.
00:30:11.760 And he said, there's that many abortion clinics?
00:30:14.660 And I only had maybe 50 cards on the altar.
00:30:17.440 And I said, there's thousands of clinics.
00:30:20.740 And he goes, I had no idea.
00:30:22.680 Just this evil, evil Holocaust that's been going on legally in our country.
00:30:30.180 So we're well aware of the evils that are going on.
00:30:33.280 But I think there's the tides are turning.
00:30:35.700 I think the pro-life movement in America is huge, Glenn.
00:30:39.460 It's huge.
00:30:40.220 And there's so much good work being done.
00:30:43.080 And just, but a lot of it is much like our life is hidden, is prayer, is hidden, is quiet.
00:30:50.920 And a lot of times the truth is silent.
00:30:54.640 Yeah.
00:30:55.260 But it doesn't mean it's silent.
00:30:56.360 The Lord doesn't usually come in with a marching band.
00:30:59.260 Exactly.
00:30:59.640 He comes in on a donkey.
00:31:00.540 But we consider our prayer, especially, that real battleground.
00:31:07.140 You know, a lot of people think of it as a very just sterile, inactive life.
00:31:11.300 Oh, it's an active life.
00:31:12.680 Like we always say, we'll never be out of a job.
00:31:14.700 There's always something, someone to pray for.
00:31:18.000 And it's a beautiful, beautiful life.
00:31:21.480 I actually, I actually had a guy who, who actually told me to stop telling people to pray because God's very busy and he's busy solving wars and everything else.
00:31:31.640 And he doesn't have time to listen to everybody.
00:31:33.840 Oh, he's, he's God.
00:31:35.320 He's infinite.
00:31:36.540 We can't limit him.
00:31:38.920 Right.
00:31:39.460 Like, I don't think you understand how God works.
00:31:42.040 I don't think he's like, oh, I'm dealing with this war.
00:31:45.060 What is it you want again?
00:31:46.520 So it's a little different than that, sister.
00:31:50.060 Thank you so much.
00:31:50.820 And, and bless you this holiday season.
00:31:52.760 And thank you for just being a ray of sunshine, you and all of the sisters up at the convent and everybody that does what you do.
00:32:01.480 I read this story and it just, it's just pure good.
00:32:06.060 It's just pure good.
00:32:07.420 And we don't see that very often anymore.
00:32:09.860 And thank you.
00:32:11.380 Thank you for having us.
00:32:13.260 You bet.
00:32:14.140 Bless you, sister.
00:32:14.780 Uh, that nice.
00:32:18.700 That's kind of the, kind of the world you kind of want to live in.
00:32:21.380 You just want to live around.
00:32:22.780 I mean, I don't want to get up at two o'clock in the morning.
00:32:25.760 I mean, yeah, yeah.
00:32:27.220 I mean, it's important and stuff, but 2 a.m.
00:32:29.700 Really?
00:32:30.380 Lord.
00:32:30.800 I mean, that's the one time that I might say, I don't think the Lord wants to hear you at two o'clock in the morning.
00:32:35.620 He might be sleeping.
00:32:38.740 I think we should sleep through.
00:32:39.960 I think we should get him when he's fresh early in the morning, but not too early.
00:32:43.380 Um, but, uh, it's, you know, kind of want to live around the people like that.
00:32:49.220 Most people are still up from the night before doom scrolling in bed at two o'clock in the morning.
00:32:54.840 So I know it's totally big adjustment.

00:33:11.080 Welcome to the program.
00:33:12.460 Hey, Glenn.
00:33:12.900 How's it going?
00:33:14.920 Mm.
00:33:16.940 Mm.
00:33:19.640 I don't even know what to say because I don't know.
00:33:23.900 I don't know what's true anymore.
00:33:26.000 I have no idea what's true anymore.
00:33:27.660 I can tell you what I think is true, uh, but I, I don't know what's true.
00:33:33.520 Um, five years, we have been looking into this pipe bomber for five years.
00:33:42.880 The FBI for five years, the FBI has said, no, I can't find anything.
00:33:48.280 We don't have any cell phone data.
00:33:49.820 It's all been erased.
00:33:50.620 We don't have any kind of data whatsoever.
00:33:53.300 It's all been erased accidentally.
00:33:55.240 We don't have the secret service brings the, uh, the vice president about to be sworn in
00:34:01.080 brings her practically at the bench of the pipe bomb.
00:34:05.220 But accidentally we relate.
00:34:07.260 We, we, we, we accidentally erased all of the secret service notes on it.
00:34:11.060 Really, really, really for five years, this has been going on.
00:34:17.240 For the last year, we have the people who have been saying, don't trust the government.
00:34:26.060 They're now in the government and they're saying, trust us.
00:34:28.900 And generally speaking, I do.
00:34:31.460 And there's a couple of people.
00:34:33.500 Pam is one of them that I not sure yet because I haven't seen anything.
00:34:39.200 Where are you, Pam?
00:34:40.780 Where are you on any big thing?
00:34:43.160 Where are you?
00:34:44.880 So yesterday they come out and they say, we've arrested apparently the pipe bomber.
00:34:51.620 Okay.
00:34:52.880 We're indicting them.
00:34:54.300 Okay.
00:34:54.800 So they're a suspect.
00:34:56.260 We don't know, but I, you know, I've got a lot of questions on this one.
00:35:01.420 I mean, a lot of questions.
00:35:04.840 Let's start here.
00:35:06.220 Let me just give you the story.
00:35:07.720 On Thursday, the DOJ announced that a 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia, had been arrested.
00:35:16.600 Cole lives with his mom and his other family members and works in the office of a bail bondsman, according to an FBI affidavit.
00:35:25.480 Today's arrest happened because Trump administration had made this case a priority.
00:35:29.560 At a press conference, alongside with Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Cash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and others,
00:35:37.840 Janine Pirro, U.S. attorney, revealed that Cole was arrested for allegedly transporting an explosive device in an interstate commerce
00:35:45.920 and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
00:35:50.640 Citing the ongoing investigation, officials shared few details about the sequence of events that led to Cole's arrest,
00:35:57.960 but they insist that the evidence against Cole was not based on any new tip.
00:36:04.500 Okay.
00:36:06.140 Just old-fashioned detective work.
00:36:08.820 Got Sam Spade on the job now.
00:36:11.680 This wasn't a new tip.
00:36:12.860 Wasn't some new evidence.
00:36:13.980 It was just hard work.
00:36:15.700 Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration,
00:36:18.120 this is what happened when you work for a president who tells you to get the bad guys
00:36:21.740 and stop focusing on other things not related to law enforcement.
00:36:26.460 Well, good.
00:36:28.780 Bondi further claimed that under the Biden administration,
00:36:31.020 the evidence was sitting there collecting dust.
00:36:33.800 Bondi further claimed that under the Biden administration,
00:36:36.340 the evidence was just sitting there collecting dust.
00:36:38.660 Do you believe that?
00:36:40.600 Yeah, I do.
00:36:41.400 I can believe that.
00:36:44.360 Such total lack of movement during four years under Biden,
00:36:47.640 undermine the public trust for enforcement agencies.
00:36:50.940 Absolutely.
00:36:52.940 Patel indicated that Cole is believed to have made the bombs.
00:36:56.260 Bondi stated he was charged with placing them at the RNC.
00:36:59.300 Officials reiterated that further charges may still be forthcoming
00:37:02.040 and that the investigation is still in its early stages.
00:37:05.600 The FBI affidavit dated December 3rd revealed more details about the evidence against Mr. Cole.
00:37:11.460 Investigators were able to link materials used in the bombs,
00:37:14.560 including galvanized pipes, end caps, wires, 9-bolt battery connectors,
00:37:20.220 and kitchen-style timers, as well as other items that may have been used during the construction process,
00:37:25.320 such as wire nuts, safety glasses, and sandpaper,
00:37:27.860 to purchases made by Cole.
00:37:30.740 Now, here's an interesting thing.
00:37:36.300 A cell phone connected to Cole also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC and DNC
00:37:42.240 during the time the bombs were believed to have been placed.
00:37:45.720 Stew.
00:37:47.040 A cell phone connected to Cole also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC-DNC
00:37:54.640 during the time that the bombs were placed.
00:37:56.860 Why would I have a hard time with that paragraph?
00:38:05.040 Well, maybe it goes back to what you started this with,
00:38:09.120 which was that we were told all the data was deleted and lost.
00:38:13.860 Right?
00:38:13.960 Yes!
00:38:14.460 Okay.
00:38:14.920 All of the cell phone data has been corrupted.
00:38:18.020 There is no cell phone pings that you can find.
00:38:21.280 It's all been corrupted.
00:38:22.460 I'd like to know, when did they uncorrupt the corrupted information?
00:38:28.840 How did they do that?
00:38:30.320 Where has that been sitting?
00:38:32.360 Kind of an important detail that I'd like to know.
00:38:35.920 At 710 on January 5th, a Nissan Sentra registered to Cole was likewise observed less than one-half mile
00:38:43.900 from the location where the individual who placed the devices was first observed on foot.
00:38:50.060 At 710, observation of Cole's vehicle became five minutes before the cell phone began to interact
00:38:55.560 with the provider towers in the area.
00:38:57.660 Wow.
00:38:57.900 So now they have footage and the cell phone tower pinging.
00:39:03.320 Wow.
00:39:05.160 Cole's height and use of sunglasses also seems to correspond with the suspect spotted on surveillance footage.
00:39:12.060 November 8th, Blaze News investigation, confirmed by several intelligence sources,
00:39:17.160 reported that a gate analysis of a former Capitol police officer was a forensic match
00:39:22.860 to the gate of the long-sought January 6th pipe bomb suspect.
00:39:26.220 An attorney for the Capitol police officer has since denied the allegations on her behalf.
00:39:32.480 CBS News reported the FBI ruled her involvement out, citing three unidentified sources
00:39:38.580 who said there was a video of her playing with puppies at the time.
00:39:45.080 Oh, she was playing with puppies at the time.
00:39:48.960 Now, I'm not saying she wasn't playing with puppies at the time.
00:39:52.120 I don't know what to believe in this story.
00:39:54.320 But can you, can it be something else other than playing, just so it doesn't seem like a ridiculous movie
00:40:02.720 that we would all be watching and going, really, the puppy thing?
00:40:07.140 She was playing with puppies at the time.
00:40:11.060 Most likely, that's exactly what happened.
00:40:14.120 I don't know.
00:40:15.060 I don't know.
00:40:15.740 I just can't take the puppy thing.
00:40:17.800 I don't know.
00:40:18.800 I don't know.
00:40:19.800 I don't know.
00:40:21.800 I don't know.
00:40:26.320 Blaze News issued this yesterday.
00:40:31.500 Blaze News considers fairness and accuracy to be the defining goals of any news organization.
00:40:36.660 Our report, posted on November 8th, 2025, about the January 6th pipe bombs,
00:40:42.300 was based on sourcing from individuals in position to know this type of sensitive law enforcement information
00:40:48.060 who have demonstrated a record of reliability and accuracy.
00:40:52.460 Of note, the sources continue to stand by the information they provided to Blaze News.
00:40:59.880 What?
00:41:00.440 What?
00:41:00.480 What?
00:41:00.540 What?
00:41:00.560 What?
00:41:00.580 What?
00:41:00.600 What?
00:41:00.620 What?
00:41:02.560 What?
00:41:02.620 What?
00:41:04.620 What?
00:41:06.660 At all times, the reporting adhered to professional journalistic standards and was published with
00:41:11.840 good faith belief in its truth.
00:41:13.500 Even so, in light of Thursday's development and the FBI's address of another individual,
00:41:18.720 Virginia resident Brian Gold Jr., in connection with the Capitol pipe bomb incident,
00:41:22.600 we consider the values of fairness and accuracy to require retraction of this article.
00:41:31.620 Even so, in light of Thursday.
00:41:33.040 So, they recracted the article.
00:41:34.660 People, and they believe it was published in good faith, but the people who are the sources stand by it.
00:41:46.120 Just to make it, can we throw some puppies in some place?
00:41:49.600 How about some little kitty cats?
00:41:50.940 Can we play with little kitty cats?
00:41:52.140 Just to make it even more fun, yet thoroughly confusing.
00:41:57.740 After publication, Steve Bunnell, who was Washington Post, identified as an attorney for the Capitol Police
00:42:03.840 Officer, told the Post his client categorically denies that she planted the pipe bombs.
00:42:09.180 Good.
00:42:09.500 I would just like an end to this story.
00:42:11.000 That's all I would like.
00:42:11.780 I just want an ending to this story.
00:42:13.820 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:42:14.920 I would like the true ending to this story.
00:42:19.460 That's what I want.
00:42:20.440 That's what I want.
00:42:21.480 Because I don't know what to believe on any story anymore.
00:42:27.300 I am so glad that I am out of the news business.
00:42:31.020 You know, I started the blaze years ago.
00:42:33.300 I sold the blaze two years ago.
00:42:35.500 And I am so glad I have nothing to do with anyone in the news department.
00:42:40.700 Not that I don't trust anybody in the news.
00:42:42.860 I wouldn't want anyone in any news department.
00:42:46.080 I wouldn't want to be in God's news department right now.
00:42:50.260 I want out.
00:42:52.260 I want out.
00:42:54.280 I just want the truth.
00:42:59.320 Oh, God.
00:43:00.720 Love of Pete.
00:43:02.460 How do you know?
00:43:03.820 Do you trust the FBI?
00:43:06.180 Do you trust the FBI?
00:43:08.500 I used to.
00:43:09.580 I used to trust the FBI.
00:43:11.120 I used to have great respect for the FBI.
00:43:13.180 I don't know if I trust the FBI anymore.
00:43:16.280 I don't distrust the FBI.
00:43:18.280 But I don't trust the FBI.
00:43:23.760 Do you trust?
