00:02:13.240 affect me but it does that conflict is putting real strain on global supply chains including

00:02:19.100 the ones that keep medications moving when those supply chains get disrupted shortages

00:02:24.160 and delays follow and usually much faster than anybody expects the medications you depend on

00:02:29.620 antibiotics blood pressure meds diabetes treatments they are not optional and they're not something

00:03:49.000 Now let's get to work.

00:03:58.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:04:03.100 So I'm going to bring Billy Halliburton in.

00:04:05.880 We've just been talking about going to space and everything else.

00:04:07.960 And there is something weird that is happening.

00:04:10.120 And I don't know.

00:04:11.860 I mean, I think it's all misdirection myself, but I believe in aliens.

00:04:16.400 I mean, I believe, I mean, what, again, as Carl Sagan said, if we're alone in this universe, what an enormous waste of space, but it's almost like, it's almost like they're going to announce something, you know, that's what it feels like.

00:04:30.740 So Billy's the host of, uh, investigating the supernatural, uh, miracle, uh, miracles.

00:04:36.880 Um, and, uh, I wanted to bring him on because he's been talking in, in this documentary.

00:04:43.040 He has, uh, Hugh Ross, Lee Strobel, John Burke.

00:04:47.340 They're all people who've been on this show talking about these things, but he's, he's

00:04:51.120 honed them in and, uh, and, and really put together a, a really remarkable series here,

00:04:58.600 a documentary and i want to play a clip from it when he sat up at the foot of the bed was this

00:05:04.520 eight foot luminous angel that's when it began to realize there's a connection between demons

00:05:10.720 don't we see in the ufo phenomena and on the last beat of my heart my spirit left my body

00:05:15.900 is there a spiritual war going on around us are angels and demons real let's investigate

00:05:25.200 In all ancient cultures, people believe in a spiritual wrong.

00:05:30.560 And I was struck that all throughout history, the vast majority of cultures not only believed in evil spirits, but believed in possessions.

00:05:38.380 And every major religion believes in angels.

00:05:41.740 For most of the world, the question isn't, is there a spiritual world?

00:05:46.160 The question is, which spirit is the most powerful?

00:05:48.640 But to say you believe in angels, demons, is oftentimes to expose you to ridicule, like you sound like somebody from the Middle Ages.

00:05:56.840 Many scientists just write it all off saying, this is just people's imaginations, they're hallucinating, they're having dreams, none of this is real.

00:06:06.120 I kept hearing, stop, don't go there.

00:06:10.020 And within a matter of minutes, a bomb went off. 0.65

00:06:13.060 All of a sudden we hear this guttural sounding voice come out of her in the back.

00:06:18.200 your mumbo-jumbo prayers will fail just like they always do and the one from the driver's

00:06:24.900 side reached over and put his hands right in the middle of a flat spot and the one from the

00:06:27.860 patch side did the same thing my heart started supernaturally no cpr no medicine what i uncovered

00:06:34.260 changes everything um billy alowell is joining us now billy how are you i'm doing well how are you

00:06:44.480 that's good to have you on good to have you on my friend um so it's it's it seems wonky

00:06:53.700 uh they're not wonky it seems i don't know religious hickey i guess to talk about angels

00:07:00.660 and demons but i absolutely believe them and i i i think most people believe in angels and demons

00:07:08.560 in some form or another. What did you find that surprised you?

00:07:14.720 Yeah, you know, I found a lot that surprised me. And let me tell you, we actually have new data

00:07:19.000 that we're going to be putting out and I'll share it here first. We actually asked Americans what

00:07:24.060 they believe on all these things. And the majority of the country, more than 50 percent, believe in

00:07:28.900 angels, believe in demons, believe in all of these things. And it's interesting. What has

00:07:34.160 surprised me the most is how mainstream this topic is, because it does feel wonky. It does

00:07:39.520 feel difficult to talk about. And I think a lot of people have had experiences, which we also gauge

00:07:45.080 in this research, you know, asking people, have they been spiritually attacked before? What does

00:07:48.920 that look like? How do they respond to it? And, you know, so for me, the big surprise is, hey,

00:07:53.920 you know what? We feel like we can't talk about this stuff, but most of us are intrigued and

00:07:58.240 actually believe in it. And, you know, it's really crazy. I learned this as an alcoholic.

00:08:03.140 when you try to hide because you think it's just you you um you miss so much uh connection

00:08:12.840 and you miss solutions everywhere i mean i hid my alcoholism as most alcoholics do forever

00:08:19.560 and when i when i came out and said publicly i'm an alcoholic i really thought it would be a

00:08:26.640 shameful thing and the opposite happened people started to connect with me and saying hey i've

00:08:32.160 got this problem. You know, I did these things and I'm really struggling with this. And you,

00:08:37.340 you start to find strength in that. And I think that's why we are discouraged from talking about

00:08:43.940 these things because we would find strength in the things that we believe we would find, um,

00:08:50.800 new understandings if we were just open and talking about them.

00:08:55.620 Absolutely. And, you know, I've, I've always loved how you've shared your journey, you know,

00:08:59.360 publicly in that way because it helps so many people. And I think that's the same thing here

00:09:03.200 because, I mean, think about this. There are people, and I can talk about some of the other

00:09:07.040 things that really shocked me. I mean, the biggest thing is that there's a lot of evidence for angels

00:09:12.060 and demons and obviously miracles. And if people want to check this out, they can go to cbn.com

00:09:16.700 slash supernatural. But I'll tell you, you know, I went into all these stories thinking I'm going

00:09:21.320 to uncover something that will tell me it's not true. There's got to be some other explanation,

00:09:25.180 not because I don't believe in angels and demons. I'm a Christian. I believe in the Bible.

00:09:29.320 But, you know, look, we can make claims all day long that we've had interactions with angels or demons or that we've been afflicted.

00:09:35.060 I want evidence. And so I was shocked by the staggering amount of evidence that is there.

00:09:39.700 But to your point, and we can dig into some of that, you know, I think that there's a real force that pushes us not to talk about it.

00:09:46.640 Because here's the other thing. There's because of that evidence, it almost becomes apologetics.

00:09:51.560 It almost becomes this tool. If you can prove that God is still moving, that miracles happen,

00:09:57.580 that angels and demons are active, then that means there's a God. And that was shocking to me because

00:10:03.360 I had never thought of these topics as being something that could close that loop and actually

00:10:08.080 help bring people to faith. And one quick thing, and you know this story, I'm not going to name

00:10:13.420 the people because people got very upset about it, but there was a prominent politician's son

00:10:17.840 who was having a conversation with an apologist, and they're on the phone, and this guy's 19 years

00:10:24.100 old, and the apologist is trying to get him to believe in Christianity, and he was throwing

00:10:28.120 everything at this kid, right? Like, hey, this is the evidence for God, and none of it was really

00:10:32.520 working until he said to this kid, hey, did you know that there are Muslims in the Middle East

00:10:37.540 who wake up after having dreams of Jesus, he appears to them, and they become Christians,

00:10:42.040 and like a light bulb went off for this kid, and I realized when I heard that story, for young

00:10:47.280 people right now, this evidence, actually, this supernatural evidence, is the thing that could

00:10:52.080 bring them over the line into faith because they've been so lied to for so long, so forced

00:10:57.320 into this weird secular worldview that when you see something crazy that has evidence,

00:11:01.360 it brings you into the faith.

00:11:03.620 I have to tell you, I think people feel it, at least I feel it more universally than I've

00:11:11.360 ever felt it before.

00:11:12.840 And I was just in Washington.

00:11:14.180 I was speaking to a big group of people in Washington.

00:11:17.940 You don't usually lead with God.

00:11:19.820 um and you know somebody asked me uh about glenn how are so many of our friends so many people now

00:11:28.760 on this path of such darkness of you know uh of anti-semitism and that's different than

00:11:37.880 disagreeing with israel um but it's it's gotten some really dark and i said i i'm gonna say

00:11:43.280 something maybe it's unpopular but i'm gonna tell you um i think god showed up after charlie

00:11:47.980 was was killed and he used that and we saw miracles all over the world people finding god

00:11:55.200 and going to church for the first time and everything else and for every action there is

00:12:00.900 an equal and opposite reaction and i said i think what the darkness and the fog that people are in

00:12:06.700 right now is evil it's from satan and it's we're watching good and evil angels and demons duke it

00:12:15.000 out all around us right now, and we're just feeling the after effects. That battle is happening all

00:12:23.920 around us right now, and if we're not aware of it, we could end up being on the wrong side

00:12:29.980 really quickly. What do you think about that? I love what you just said. So these projects,

00:12:36.780 Investigating the Supernatural, Angels and Demons in particular, has totally transformed my faith

00:12:41.320 and the way I see things, because what you just said, it's Ephesians 6. And for those who don't

00:12:45.640 know that, if you don't know the Bible, you don't know that, Ephesians 6, the Apostle Paul is

00:12:49.840 talking about how we all think that we're in a battle between each other. It's Democrats versus

00:12:54.380 Republicans. It's me versus you. It's everybody's fighting, and it's a flesh battle, right? We 0.80

00:12:58.780 assume that's what's going on, but what's actually happening, and that doesn't mean we shouldn't get

00:13:02.600 engaged in those arguments and have meaningful discussion. That's not the point. What's really

00:13:06.620 happening is that there's a spiritual battle, good versus evil. We can't see it with our human

00:13:11.640 eyes, but it's pouring over into the world in which we are living. And so when you see Charlie

00:13:16.260 get assassinated, when you see these horrific things happen, even atheists will turn on their

00:13:21.000 TV and say, that was evil. And so the question is, well, where does that evil come from, right?

00:13:25.800 We know that what Ephesians 6 says is that that battle is going to impact us. And so I actually

00:13:31.020 don't think, and I was pretty convicted of this after working on this film, that we can really

00:13:35.300 understand fully what is happening in the world around us and in our individual lives if we don't

00:13:40.760 understand that battle. And I will tell you, because back, you know, in 2012, when I started

00:13:45.480 working for you at The Blaze and you would talk about all these things, I mean, you were ahead of

00:13:49.380 everybody on a lot of these issues that we're experiencing right now. You know, I wasn't fully

00:13:54.020 understanding what this battle meant and I get it now. And I think we've got to hone in on that

00:13:59.880 because if we want to, if we have any hope of navigating and not ending up, because right now

00:14:04.940 you and I both know there are people who are falling on the wrong side of a lot of these

00:14:08.500 things. And I'm not going to name them, but they're out there and they're impacting a lot

00:14:12.060 of people right now. And so we need to make sure people understand this. And this film really is

00:14:16.800 a quest to do that. Not just in our, again, in our individual lives, because evil can affect us,

00:14:21.860 but also in our politics and in our culture. So tell me, by the way, you can find the film at

00:14:29.560 cbn.com slash supernatural um billy tell me how um aliens are are fitting into this

00:14:41.020 i mean here's the thing you know how this is you're working on a film and this is well over

00:14:45.740 a year ago we're having these conversations you know we're talking about angels and demons what

00:14:49.860 are we going to do about aliens because this is a big at the time obviously disclosure was

00:14:54.340 becoming a big conversation i had no idea we'd release this film in the middle of

00:14:58.180 this massive conversation about aliens. What is happening right now? And look, there's a debate,

00:15:03.260 and I'm not going to tell people what to think. There are people, even in Christian circles,

00:15:07.340 and this film is for everybody, not just Christians, but who believe that aliens are

00:15:10.940 very real and that they exist and that God created them. But there are also people like

00:15:15.740 Hugh Ross, as you know, who would take a different view on this. They would take the view that it's

00:15:21.300 not that people aren't seeing or experiencing aliens and UFOs. It's that the nature of what

00:15:26.900 they are might not be what we think. And Hugh's position, and he was in the film, obviously,

00:15:32.280 as you saw in the clip you shared, is that these are actually interdimensional demonic entities

00:15:37.540 that are appearing to people. And he has a whole slew of thoughts about why that is the case. And

00:15:43.140 I will tell you, they're compelling. Not everybody agrees with them. They are compelling. But here's

00:15:47.780 the deal on the alien thing. About 10 years ago, a lot of us would have laughed at this, right?

00:15:52.380 The fact that we would even be talking about it or having presidents and former presidents talk 0.86

00:15:56.760 about it, we would think that was semi-ridiculous. And yet here we are, and I would encourage people

00:16:01.040 not to laugh this off because a lot of Christians on the issue of evil have done a very bad job of

00:16:07.940 addressing it because it feels weird, so we don't want to talk about it. And we've allowed secular 0.89

00:16:12.240 culture to talk about evil more than churches are. That's why every Halloween you've got 0.83

00:16:17.660 The Conjuring and all these movies coming out, Hollywood's owning this issue. We don't want the

00:16:22.660 same thing to happen with aliens because this is not going away people are going to want answers

00:16:27.000 and just like you said it feels like something big is about to drop and so what are you what is

00:16:32.080 your response going to be to that and so the film you know dives into that you know from a perspective

00:16:37.640 it's obviously hugh giving his perspective but i would encourage people figure out what you think

00:16:42.040 on this issue because it's it's not going anywhere hey billy can i have you on again next week i want

00:16:48.500 i want to have you on just about the alien thing because i have some thoughts on this and i would

00:16:53.660 like to explore it with you a bit billy hollowell again the um uh the the film the documentary is

00:17:02.360 investigating the supernatural miracles um and uh you can find it at cbn.com slash supernatural

00:17:11.000 billy has been a longtime uh friend and co-worker and i have an awful lot of respect for him and i'm

00:17:17.300 I'm glad to have you on.

00:17:18.360 We'll talk to you again.

00:17:19.540 Hopefully I can squeeze you back in next week because I,

00:17:22.200 I think you're right about exploring the supernatural and aliens.

00:17:29.140 I don't know what is coming,

00:17:30.800 but I've never seen anything like this in my life before.

00:17:34.860 And,

00:17:35.360 you know,

00:17:35.700 just a few years ago,

00:17:36.640 you would all,

00:17:37.220 we would all say,

00:17:37.920 well,

00:17:38.040 that's crazy.

00:17:38.860 Well,

00:17:39.360 I've seen,

00:17:39.900 I think we've seen a lot of crazy stuff happen.

00:17:42.340 And we're going to see more.

00:17:43.680 I think we're going to see a lot more.

00:17:46.380 We are.

00:17:47.060 we're going to see crazy crazy things in our lifetime billy thank you so much we'll talk next

00:18:04.840 just make sure that i'm i'm i'm getting these stories right because again two hours of sleep

00:18:09.640 And I just want to make sure. So the prime minister of Pakistan is the guy who's doing

00:18:17.100 the negotiations between us and Iran. And yesterday, as I said, when people said,

00:18:25.360 no, Israel and Lebanon, that was included in a ceasefire. Our president said, no, it wasn't.

00:18:35.300 i told you yesterday i don't believe benjamin netanyahu because they're operating on their own

00:18:41.800 thing okay but i do believe the president and if i have to choose between what did the president say

00:18:49.320 and what did the prime minister of pakistan say who i challenge you right now give me the name

00:18:54.440 of the prime minister of pakistan you can't you trust somebody you can't even you don't even know

00:19:01.020 his name and you trust him more and i said you know i think it's i think it's as an american

00:19:06.760 we should trust our side first with full understanding they could be lying to us but

00:19:11.340 it'll come out well it came out it came out um the defense minister of pakistan so this is you

00:19:20.340 know our pete hay their pete hegseth imagine if you know donald trump was doing negotiations

00:19:27.640 And then Pete Hegseth comes out and says this. 0.98

00:19:36.440 Israel is evil and a curse on humanity. 0.97

00:19:40.780 While peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon. 1.00

00:19:46.760 Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel.

00:19:49.140 First Gaza, then Iran, now Lebanon.

00:19:52.440 Bloodletting continues unbated. 1.00

00:19:54.820 I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land can get rid of the 1.00

00:20:01.980 European Jews that will burn in hell. Wow. Now he's fair. He seems like an honest broker, doesn't 1.00

00:20:09.340 he? Congratulations for anybody who said, I side with Pakistan. I believe they have the best

00:20:16.540 intentions. Do you, do you this for anybody who is believing Pakistan? I just want you to know 0.61

00:20:25.620 what most of those people say. Well, I don't necessarily agree with that. You don't really

00:20:32.240 because I'll bet you believe in some of that. Um, and more importantly, um,

00:20:38.740 show me your friends and i will show you your future you are standing in a room with a lot

00:20:47.220 of people that believe that kind of stuff and by the way that's not just clearly i mean you look

00:20:56.700 up anti-semitism in any dictionary and i think that's the passage that's the definition of

00:21:04.980 anti-Semitism. But more importantly, in this case, if you're standing with these guys and you choose

00:21:12.320 to believe these guys over the president of the United States, it's just absolutely

00:21:18.900 anti-American. It's anti-American. You don't have to agree with Benjamin Netanyahu. I told you

00:21:25.860 yesterday, just said it a minute ago, they're on a different path. They're doing what they think.

00:21:31.420 They think that they are going to be wiped out by the 12ers, the Shia 12ers in Iran. 1.00

00:21:38.720 I happen to agree. 1.00

00:21:40.240 That's the way I would read it if I lived over in the Middle East.

00:21:43.160 But you don't have to agree because, you know, you're next, but you're not first.

00:21:48.460 So you can, you have the time and the privilege to say, well, they're not coming after us.

00:21:53.120 Oh, it's not in our interest. 0.85

00:21:55.320 Israel doesn't have that.

00:21:57.140 That's what they believe.

00:21:58.600 You don't have to believe that.

00:22:00.300 Okay. 1.00

00:22:00.780 you don't have to side with them but israel is evil and a curse for humanity uh bloodletting 1.00

00:22:08.760 continues unbated i hope and pray the people who created this cancerous state on palestinian land 1.00

00:22:15.620 get rid of all european jews they burn in hell wow wow jason uh any perspective on this well 1.00

00:22:29.940 Well, yes. I mean, I just looked up in one of our copies, we have an encyclopedia Britannica here in the control room, and it actually says under the heading of neutral arbiter of peace that you must use words like burn in hell when talking to some part of the negotiation. 0.98

00:22:48.160 So it is in there.

00:22:49.400 One of the people at your negotiating table that is sitting there, it's required for you to be neutral to say that person is evil and a curse on humanity.

00:22:58.260 It's part of the process, Glenn.

00:22:59.120 Yeah, don't question it.

00:23:01.160 Also, don't question the fact that, you know, these are the neutral arbiters of peace,

00:23:05.000 and they also basically housed one of the worst terrorists to ever live, Osama bin Laden,

00:23:11.060 just a football throw away from an army base.

00:23:15.100 You know, I think that's also in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

00:23:18.540 That's part of the setup for who you have.

00:23:21.460 Ricky, can you please talk this madman down from the tree?

00:23:24.400 I wish I could, but I'm actually getting a little blackpilled about the negotiation process now.

00:23:29.860 Like, I really trust Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, but my word, how are you supposed to negotiate with people who have this ideology?

00:23:40.040 These are the most sane people in the room.

00:23:42.260 Please, I can't believe I'm saying this. 1.00

00:23:44.100 Can we bring Qatar in?

00:23:46.460 No, no, no, no, not Qatar, not Qatar.

00:23:50.440 UAE, maybe. 0.92

00:23:52.020 The lunatic that puts his enemies, his enemy reporters into blenders, maybe, but not Qatar, not Qatar. 0.99

00:24:03.340 Okay.

00:24:04.520 I think that we can go back to your Valkyrie statement, Glenn.

00:24:08.000 I really do not.

00:24:09.160 I think all of this is part of the process.

00:24:11.980 I really do.

00:24:13.260 While the prime minister of Pakistan is copying and pasting what looks like from chat GPT,

00:24:18.880 random parts of the agreement and putting it out on X. I don't even know if he knows who he's

00:24:25.520 getting this from in the Iranian regime. If he's getting it from an IRGC commander, if he's getting

00:24:30.620 it from part of the political class, I don't think he even knows. But I do think there's a lot of

00:24:36.360 turmoil going back and forth within Iran, within the negotiators, and everyone is fighting at the

00:24:42.260 moment. Everyone's concentrating on this huge publicity game that the Iranians are playing 0.63

00:24:48.020 with releasing an older version of the 10-point plan.

00:24:51.360 I think all of this is specifically about inner turmoil within Iran, 0.72

00:24:58.160 creating it, stoking it, and sitting back and watching it

00:25:01.500 as they get closer towards these negotiations led by J.D. Vance.

00:25:05.520 I have to tell you, I find this actually kind of refreshing

00:25:12.140 because everyone is revealing who they really are.

00:25:16.320 Yes.

00:25:16.640 I mean, I like it when people talk, you know, everybody's like, they should shut up.

00:25:21.900 That is so dangerous.

00:25:22.900 No, let them talk.

00:25:23.780 Let them talk.

00:25:24.280 I like, I like knowing exactly who they are.

00:25:27.860 We now know who our main negotiator, our neutral party is.

00:25:32.400 We know exactly who they are now.

00:25:34.420 Okay.

00:25:35.080 So when they say something, I mean, unless you just hate America so much, I mean, honestly,

00:25:43.780 you don't have to trust the government.

00:25:45.520 what has the government done to gain your trust not a lot but what has donald trump done to gain

00:25:53.940 your trust right now people are are jumping off this because he promised us no wars he did not 0.87

00:26:01.560 promise you that what moron promises any country no wars i'm sorry beside woodrow wilson and then 0.99

00:26:09.520 get us into a war what moron does that that's not even reasonable as a president united states it's 0.99

00:26:15.280 not reasonable to say we're not going to have war okay what he was saying is no more of these 1.00

00:26:21.000 never-ending wars so we're in this now for 30 days is that never-ending i mean this don't get

00:26:29.300 me wrong this could go horribly i am not i am not on the bandwagon of going yay we gotta go in and 0.99

00:26:36.880 kill everybody in Iran. I'm not for that. I'm not for that. We're in this now. What do you say 0.99

00:26:45.020 we give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who I think has earned our trust? He's earned our

00:26:51.320 trust. Tell me somebody who is, as a president, who has done a better job at military operations,

00:27:03.360 done better than this guy. I don't even know if I'd put FDR in that category.

00:27:13.040 It's been stunning what this guy has done. So relax. Monday, I'm going to share something.

00:27:20.000 I'll put something up on the chalkboard. What if we back up a little bit more and thought

00:27:24.100 even of a bigger picture? I'm going to share this with you on Monday because I'm thinking

00:27:31.960 you know there could be this could be a disaster this could be an absolute disaster but is that

00:27:39.280 a reason to freak out as i was thinking about this yesterday i was on a plane going up to

00:27:44.180 washington yesterday which by the way russ vote i love you russ vote is uh he's the guy he was

00:27:53.280 he was the architect of project 2025 um and everything that happened in the first hundred

00:27:59.380 days he's he's the guy and he's hated for it and i love him for it and because of the war and

00:28:07.140 everything else uh he was supposed to have somebody speak at you know one of his big

00:28:11.540 conferences yesterday a big big big cabinet member yeah who shall remain nameless shall

00:28:16.260 remain nameless and then i don't think they announced in advance that he wasn't coming

00:28:21.080 and that i was coming in his stead and so they introduced me and they were just like

00:28:24.820 oh great guys that is not true that's glenn okay that's feigning humility the room loved it

00:28:33.660 uh but i had a chance to go up there and uh and and talk and i gotta tell you these guys get it

00:28:40.960 so i'm on the plane from from that experience last night and i'm thinking all right if things

00:28:47.700 go really, really horribly. Is there a way to take that and make it into lemonade? And I think,

00:28:54.780 I think there is, I think it's actually, I mean, it's not what's happening, but I think when you

00:29:02.700 hear it on Monday, somebody might want to call the president and say, Hey, have you thought about

00:29:08.540 this? Because it doesn't have to go horribly to do this as well. I mean, it's, it's one of those,

00:29:16.580 you know uh one rock and two birds or whatever it is one stone and two whatever that saying is

00:29:24.660 it's friday i'm tired okay back off you've had four good shows for me how many good shows have

00:29:31.060 you done today america right okay um so i'm gonna give you that on uh monday but we we just

00:29:37.320 we have to know who our friends are you're listening to the best of glenn beck need a

00:29:43.020 little more check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts well hello bridget

00:29:48.680 hello my friend so good to see you how are you it's good to see you great yeah it's been a minute

00:29:55.600 i'm great i know it's been too long you you have gone through one of the greatest uh i don't know 1.00

00:30:05.980 i don't want to say transformations because you you were great even when you were a hussy slut you 0.98

00:30:12.460 were great and but to watch you it's like metamorphosis i mean you you have just you've 1.00

00:30:20.180 just become just such a well-rounded really cool person thank you my husband was just standing here

00:30:27.360 listening he's like don't you talk about my wife that way i have a husband now defends my honor i

00:30:37.140 know yeah i know and a daughter but yeah it's crazy yeah and you i mean you're sitting you're

00:30:44.860 sitting on a set with aprons behind you uh that's not you five years ago i did always love to cook

00:30:54.860 but yes i have become quite domesticate i was always weirdly more domestic than people would 0.65

00:31:00.340 expect me to be to be for being a hussy slut so people would be like you can cook but i always

00:31:06.160 loved cooking but now i'm baking which i feel like is domestic a different level now you're 0.94

00:31:13.440 now you're june cleaver um what was first of all before we get into your your latest article

00:31:20.260 for people who don't know what was the big change because you were i mean you were on the left did

00:31:26.100 you ever hate me i don't feel like i think i just thought you were silly i don't think i ever hated

00:31:33.480 you i remember i'm sure that john stewart covered you and made fun of you so i think that i probably

00:31:40.880 just laughed at you i don't even in this crazy media i don't have very much hatred in my heart

00:31:50.500 in general so i i think that i i generally tend to lean on mockery as my way of coping and i also

00:32:01.140 think that i i don't it's very hard not to it's very hard to hate somebody that you don't know

00:32:07.340 although we all probably do this now with algorithms and being online but i don't i

00:32:13.900 generally try not to and and honestly i think being in recovery as i'm very open about i i

00:32:22.020 always have to go back and you know there's this expression um put down the microscope and pick up

00:32:28.480 the mirror and so whenever i'm hyper focusing on someone or hating somebody it's like what is this

00:32:38.720 saying about me yeah you know it's a it's amazing i was giving a speech last night in dc and

00:32:46.580 somebody brought up you know all the stuff that's happening with podcasters and i said i am not

00:32:52.060 going to i'll comment on i'll comment on facts but i'm not going to talk about personalities

00:32:57.720 all i say on this is i am so tired and i think the american people are too i am so tired of

00:33:04.020 getting a list from somebody it's seemingly every day of who i have to hate now who i have to declare

00:33:12.760 is my mortal enemy because if i'm not i'm a traitor to somebody and it's like i i can't 0.96

00:33:19.620 take any more of it it's just so stupid is something going on in podcasting glenn 0.88

00:33:25.300 i don't know i i don't know i don't either i haven't noticed anything strange going on 0.99

00:33:36.580 yeah or the president mentioning anything like that yesterday wow oh do you know how angry it

00:33:43.180 makes me being a comedian just to reference since you reference this the everybody who's listening

00:33:49.080 it's the the the true social post where you went on a tirade against podcasters and i'm telling you

00:33:57.000 it's unfair that he's the funniest president we'll ever have do you know how hard it is to be

00:34:04.400 a comedian and know you're never gonna write anything that funny it is i mean he might be

00:34:10.260 the funniest person on earth he is if you miss his sense of humor you you've missed a great time

00:34:20.840 if you think he's serious about everything you've missed a great time i i think he has the best

00:34:25.740 comedic timing of any non-comedian i've ever seen i mean he is he's brilliantly funny

00:34:33.940 and it's something that I missed so I this is again something where I have to ask myself

00:34:42.020 what has changed in me because when I for I've been thinking a lot about this in fact I probably

00:34:47.460 should write about it but when I first when he first came on the scene as a politician I could

00:34:53.520 not handle the sound of his voice I just couldn't listen to it and slowly over the years I realized

00:35:01.300 I was missing a lot of hilarity that that people saw that I didn't see and now he just kind of

00:35:10.440 makes me laugh you know he'll make you roll your eyes and go oh geez you're gonna say that all

00:35:16.080 right but I don't know we've been dealing with this guy for 10 years I know I you know um Ronald

00:35:23.480 Reagan when I was a kid Ronald Reagan was president and he would make you he'd make you

00:35:27.740 laugh like ha ha that's funny donald trump can make you belly laugh i mean absolutely belly laugh

00:35:34.200 it is so funny so funny i was reading that post in the green room dying laughing it was like oh

00:35:41.160 yeah and we were just how how can this how can this be i must be in a simulation

00:35:46.880 um you wrote an article and this is what i wanted to talk to you about you wrote an article

00:35:54.180 i don't care if young people like me and you shouldn't either can you can you take us through

00:35:59.680 this yes i mean to to your point it was a little bit of me looking around at podcasting and

00:36:08.620 podcasters and seeing this kind of trend of chasing what i see as younger opinions now i

00:36:17.780 understand this your livelihood depends on views and it is an attention economy and the the older

00:36:26.100 people are going to age out and there's a giant number of young people who are radicalized by

00:36:33.320 these algorithms and it's easy to understand why this would happen but it also came across as that

00:36:41.040 meme where it was like how do you do fellow kids you know these these older hosts where they're

00:36:48.340 like look how based and cool i am like see i'm saying those crazy things that kids are all about

00:36:55.440 and i don't know it just came across as as embarrassing to me and i realized it was very

00:37:03.020 gen x of me to say i don't care but it did feel and saying you know like get off it's a very

00:37:09.520 almost older like get off my lawn yeah it yeah it does i get why people reacted strongly to it and

00:37:17.800 and they're gonna tell me that i'm gonna be irrelevant and you know they they make comparisons

00:37:22.340 whatever six seven six seven listen but i i also hate this idea that popularity equals right

00:37:30.400 there's been a lot of people historically who have been extremely popular who have also been

00:37:38.840 literal murderers

00:37:41.460 there's a lot of things that have been very popular

00:37:47.300 were not good or right so this idea

00:37:51.480 that oh I'm popular and that means I'm right

00:37:55.420 is such a very strange

00:37:58.760 I understand it from if you're young I can understand that

00:38:03.600 but from somebody who's older it seems like you should know

00:38:07.560 better. But you know what, Bridget? I think you're an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic. We're

00:38:14.200 covering both of us. And that puts you in a different place. I'm not sure if I hadn't have

00:38:20.600 gone through the hell that I went through in my 30s that I would have the same perspective that

00:38:25.620 I have now. I know what's important and what's not. And this business really screws with your

00:38:32.920 head oh yeah and you know especially if you've ever been at the top where some of these podcasters

00:38:40.320 you know when they were in tv they were at the very top leaving that alone screws with your head

00:38:47.000 and then going into the world of podcasting that screws with your head again and then if you do

00:38:52.480 well and then you start to see things slip or you notice that things are changing if you really

00:38:57.680 don't if if you have if you don't know exactly who you are and you're not willing to go I don't

00:39:05.600 really care if anybody listens I could leave tomorrow and I'd be fine I don't know if you

00:39:11.540 can make it yeah you see any validity to that oh totally I mean it goes back to a couple things

00:39:18.440 that you said I really do try and ground myself in those recovery principles all the time one of

00:39:24.560 which is principles before personalities.

00:39:26.860 So like you, I try not to get bogged down

00:39:29.960 in too much of the personal mudslinging.

00:39:33.700 I have friends and family members on all sides of the aisles.

00:39:36.820 I see the same thing in media.

00:39:40.000 And I actually think it should be that way.

00:39:42.580 It's healthy to be able to have conversations

00:39:45.300 with people who disagree with you.

00:39:46.960 And I do think turning everything,

00:39:49.880 as James Lindsay is always talking about,

00:39:52.500 this friend-enemy distinction,

00:39:54.560 makes it very easy to kind of divide and conquer people and we have outside forces who are

00:40:00.180 influencing this from other countries now there's also a lot of truth and the idea that and this was

00:40:08.720 really embedded in this piece I never I've never peaked so I have literally built what I made

00:40:16.500 like truly I'm still an independent creator I've never had a machine behind me I've never had

00:40:23.500 silicon valley money i've never had a network i can't imagine what it would be like to be john

00:40:29.600 stewart or to be you even somebody who is on fox listen listen to the way she said that

00:40:36.640 john stewart or you even me no but you like your intro to this show which is new i believe

00:40:48.340 reminded me there was a time when you were on all these magazine covers and that's got to be crazy

00:40:55.540 i've never experienced that and then to have that it's like being it reminds me a little bit of

00:41:03.060 being a woman and then you kind of enter into a later time in your life and you're like oh

00:41:08.560 that was my peak i'm on the other side of it now how do i how do i grapple with this and this is

00:41:17.460 something that all women kind of have to grapple with is all right i'm not everybody has to you

00:41:24.400 know everybody ron reagan said ron reagan said there is everybody has a time and if you don't

00:41:33.040 change if you know who you if you know who you are and you stay rooted in your principles it's

00:41:40.220 like there's this you're just sliding along a timeline and all of a sudden you your time comes

00:41:45.820 and you just slot in and then that time passes and you just pop back out and somebody else is

00:41:51.460 popping back in yeah you just you just have to know who you are and stay the same the whole time

00:41:58.000 and just know that was my time it's not my time now and you know whatever whatever yeah it hasn't

00:42:04.380 changed me or diminished me that's just my time was then yeah or now and i'm coming whatever

00:42:11.600 and I think too that's that is something I guess one of the things that happened to me when you

00:42:19.800 asked me what happened to you Bridget over the past 10 years and a lot of people will say that

00:42:24.320 in a negative way so some of it has nothing to do with me like a lot of people will say what

00:42:29.520 happened to you and it's like a good thing the thing I hear the most from people probably more

00:42:34.700 than anything is what happened to you in a negative way but one of the things that did

00:42:39.920 happened to me is that I didn't really know what my values were. I remember Ben Shapiro saying

00:42:46.440 very early when I came into the space and he was talking about values and

00:42:50.620 Jordan Peterson and I was like, values, what are those? What a strange concept. And it put me back
