00:00:00.000
The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate fraud that is on the rise called title theft, and your equity is the target.
00:00:08.620
Criminals forge your signature on a single document.
00:00:10.780
They use fake notary stamps, and they file it with the county.
00:00:14.580
And just like that, on record, they own your home.
00:00:18.600
Using your ownership, they then take out loans at a bank and get your equity.
00:00:24.660
And then, you know, like you didn't even sell your property, and yet it is like you sold your property.
00:00:29.500
And you don't know until foreclosure or collection notices start showing up.

00:02:45.860
It's our last day with Stu as part of the program after 27 years, 28 years.
00:02:58.320
Coming up, we're going to relive some of the best moments.
00:03:00.880
That'll take us about three minutes here in just a second.
00:03:03.980
Also, we're going to talk to you about the things that are going on.
00:03:16.480
It looks like Panama has voided the contract with China, which means they're out of Panama.
00:03:22.460
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said new sanctions on Cuba.
00:03:30.140
And the oil industry in Venezuela has now, according to the government of Venezuela, is going to be reprivatized, which is one of the best things that could happen for them.
00:03:41.960
The Melania film is out this weekend getting horrible reviews, which only makes me want to buy out a whole theater.
00:03:48.200
I mean, of course they're going to review it and pan it like that.
00:03:50.820
I mean, honestly, I might buy out a whole theater.
00:03:54.740
Tim Walsh also said some amazing things we're going to get into here in just a minute.
00:04:01.280
Trump called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.
00:04:09.440
Don Lemon was arrested about 40 minutes ago in Los Angeles.
00:04:13.620
It looks like they couldn't get a judge, so they just went to a federal grand jury, swore out a complaint.
00:04:23.180
This is a scary, scary time, especially when you hear what Tim Walsh said about Fort Sumter.
00:04:28.720
We're going to get into all of that and also some really good news coming out of South Korea today.
00:04:39.060
You don't really realize how much energy discomfort steals until you really are just in pain all the time.
00:04:55.560
Thinking ahead about the stairs, bracing yourself before you stand up, deciding whether something's worth it before you even try.
00:05:01.100
For a lot of people, inflammation is behind all of that.
00:05:03.900
A lifetime of hard work and then now inflammation.
00:05:15.500
Relief factor was created to support your body's response to inflammation using a unique combination of ingredients designed to work together.
00:05:24.460
It's helping your body function more comfortably over time.
00:05:27.940
So when people start feeling the difference, it shows up in practical ways.
00:05:31.080
It's getting through a day without constantly thinking about how you feel.
00:05:33.900
Make sure that you're the next one to get out of pain.
00:05:52.420
Do we have Pastor Soon's chance on the phone with us?
00:06:02.000
Yes, I'm Korea now, and I landed here two nights ago, and I'm still jet-lagged, but it has been a miraculous day today.
00:06:10.500
Please, for anybody who doesn't know, Chance's father, Pastor Soon, is one of the biggest pastors in South Korea.
00:06:20.160
He went to jail, like, really, I think a couple of days before Charlie Kirk died, or maybe a couple of days after.
00:06:25.640
Um, and it is, South Korea is in real trouble, and this is important because it affects you, the American people.
00:06:37.260
Um, and China is really infiltrating South Korea, um, and, and it is changing South Korea, and it is becoming a very hostile place, first for Christians, because they're the first to stand up.
00:06:49.420
Um, and, uh, Chance's father stood up and was just talking about school board elections, and the state charged him with election interference.
00:06:59.560
That is something that if you are charged with in Korea, you get, like, a fine.
00:07:05.860
Uh, he's been in jail for six months now, and they wanted to put him in jail for years.
00:07:11.760
Um, and they're now, the, the head of South Korea said, we can go in, in any church without a warrant.
00:07:18.420
We can take the church property and sell it ourselves and not give it back to the church.
00:07:23.620
I mean, it's really getting bad, but Donald Trump and J.D. Vance paid attention, and when they met with, I think, the prime minister, right, um, in Washington a couple of weeks ago, J.D. Vance brought your father up, and tell us the result, what's happening now.
00:07:42.540
Yeah, so the court, uh, ruling has come out today, this morning, at 10 a.m., and although my father has gotten, um, sentenced to six-month imprisonment, uh, it was also,
00:07:53.560
a delay sentence suspended, which is also, like, a probation for a year, so he got an immediate, uh, release, and it's my first time being able to hold my father's hand, uh, in four and a half months, and, uh, it's been a very, uh, a lot of church members and our family crying and crying, being so thankful, grateful, uh, not only to God, but to, uh, Americans and also, uh, brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, uh, for raising voices and to fight our fight as well,
00:08:23.160
because you guys are realizing this is not only about Korea, but also, this is coming at your doors, um, so we are so grateful for all of you.
00:08:32.920
I, uh, I, uh, I will tell you, I, I just love you and your brother's relationship with your dad, um, and I think your dad is, uh, Dietrich Bonhoeffer we are watching, um, grow into that role in real time, um, and he has raised two unbelievably, um, great sons, um, and I love your love for your father.
00:08:57.440
So you've seen him, um, he's, the last I talked to you, he could barely use his hands because of the conditions in the prison over there.
00:09:06.160
I mean, it really does not sound like a, a Western-style prison in the way he was, uh, treated over there.
00:09:12.520
Um, he's lost a lot of weight, but other than that, he's healthy and in good spirits.
00:09:19.600
He's really healthy and good spirit, uh, but physically, um, so he hasn't told the public or the church members,
00:09:26.400
but, uh, to us, he has, uh, shown his back and also his, um, uh, his hip and, uh, it's no point because of the blisters.
00:09:36.720
He had to sit down, uh, on, uh, of course, a very hard, uh, concrete, um, uh, floor and for hours or more than 12 hours a day and, uh, there are blisters and it turned to, uh, form of, uh, rice cake almost.
00:09:52.320
And his feet are not, um, he's not, his feet are numb because he had to sit down for a long time.
00:09:59.340
So his back is, I guess, uh, pressuring the lower body and also his, um, teeth are, uh, getting bad.
00:10:06.700
So he's about to go to, go see a dentist tomorrow morning first thing.
00:10:15.940
Uh, on, uh, one side of, uh, um, one side of his, yeah, his teeth.
00:10:22.380
So I guess he's gotten more muscle on the other side right now, but he's got to, he's got to balance it up.
00:10:28.940
He said he was, he was cheerfully joking about it.
00:10:34.620
This is not something you expect from a Western nation.
00:10:38.900
I mean, this soundlessly sounds like, you know, the Soviet union when I was a kid.
00:10:47.200
So, uh, there was just one very, um, yeah, just one blanket and that's it.
00:10:52.940
Um, tell me about, because I think that this is great, but the minute this administration stops looking away, uh, at your father, stops looking at Korea, this, this comes right back with a vengeance.
00:11:09.040
So one of the things that we've talked about is you need a, a Christian school or church to adopt your school or church in Korea and make it kind of an expanded campus, a second campus, right?
00:11:29.560
Um, thank you so much for bringing this up because my father has been praying for 17 years and, uh, Segero Church was able to establish a Christian school.
00:11:38.540
Uh, named Segero Unam's Christian Academy in 2024 and last year, um, the state rejected the accreditation.
00:11:46.880
So, um, because of, because the school wouldn't implement the walk ideologies into the education curriculum because my father and Segero Church believe that our future, our future leaders are the most important, uh, if not one of them.
00:12:02.840
Um, and, uh, if, uh, if it gets rejected again this year, which is most likely it will be closing down.
00:12:09.020
And we believe that if Segero Unam Christian Academy can be operated as a U.S. school, uh, campus branch in South Korea, um, because the current regime, if there's one thing that they're afraid of, afraid of would be the U.S.
00:12:24.080
So they wouldn't be able to attack or, uh, be, uh, vengeance against the U.S. entity or property.
00:12:31.400
So we believe that that will be helping out tremendously for the school situation.
00:12:36.060
So if you are a Christian school and you, uh, think that there's a chance that you might want to just kind of adopt this school, um, it will be a, uh, great blessing to the Christians in Korea.
00:12:55.960
Uh, either contact me on X, um, anyone can message me and, uh, either X or Instagram as well at chance, chance, son, one, two, two, six.
00:13:19.400
Um, one of first things and he's very appreciated, I appreciate it because he was going to write, write, write your letter inside the prison.
00:13:26.880
And yeah, thank you so much, Glenn and all the viewers and listeners.
00:13:31.980
It has made a big impact on this case and Koreans are very, very, uh, appreciated for this.
00:13:43.480
Uh, chance told me that his father was going to write me a letter in prison, but his hands were so, um,
00:13:51.500
I mean, what, what kind of prison is that over there?
00:13:57.600
It, Korea is going, South Korea is going full authoritarian.
00:14:01.640
I mean, uh, the pastor may be the first guy to ever try to escape, you know, South Korea by going across the border to North Korea.
00:14:17.300
Quickly, Glenn, I would just want to let you know that I was, uh, going to also write you a letter, uh, remembering our 28 years together.
00:14:28.700
Just like, just like the South Korea situation.
00:14:32.960
So I, I apologize, obviously would have loved to communicate.
00:14:38.940
And I've just, I could not, for some reason, my hands just could not get the credit card out of my wallet.
00:14:46.520
I did notice you really did leave me a present here.
00:14:55.440
So I can collect my belongings and clear out immediately.
00:15:11.820
I want every stupid little blanket you have in the studio.
00:15:14.920
I want every little, you know, you know, hot water bottle that you've used to warm yourself.
00:15:21.000
You know, all these years, I want all out, all of it, all of it.
00:15:24.400
It's like you, like you never existed, Stu, like you never existed.
00:15:28.960
Boy, I got to tell you, if Stu and I stopped joking with each other, uh, we are going to,
00:15:38.420
We love each other, but this is the way we're going to deal with this by hammering each other
00:15:45.460
Um, so Tim Walls came out and said, uh, that, uh, is this, uh, John Brown?
00:16:03.340
And you've ever noticed how fast, small extent, uh, expenses can get your attention.
00:16:09.960
Uh, you know, you'll shop around for a better deal on car insurance.
00:16:12.620
You'll cancel subscription to save a few bucks, but mortgage, the biggest bill you have often
00:16:18.840
Look, life changes, rates change, the goals change that in your life, but that loan you
00:16:24.260
locked in, you know, years ago may not fit your situation right now.
00:16:29.140
They work with homeowners to see if there is a smarter way to structure their loan, maybe
00:16:33.640
lowering your rate, maybe consolidating high interest debt, or maybe just adjusting the
00:16:39.560
And their mortgage consultants are not salaried, not commission driven.
00:16:42.680
So the focus is on what makes sense for you, not what earns them a bonus.
00:16:47.500
You can make big monthly expense work a little harder for you in that favor.
00:16:51.860
I mean, would it be good to have it work in your favor?
00:16:54.680
Um, ease a little financial pressure, changing your, uh, changing your situation every month.
00:16:59.760
So it's a little easier and there's no upfront fees to find out if you qualify.
00:17:03.280
Just call American financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
00:17:14.220
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
00:17:18.020
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:17:29.760
By the way, today is the last day you can watch at glenbeck.com, uh, all of this nonsense
00:17:40.040
Um, just, uh, see it all the behind the scenes, everything, including a fourth hour today.
00:17:45.620
Uh, Pat and I are going to be, uh, doing a Q and a for Stu's last day, fourth hour.
00:17:50.800
Uh, and it'll happen right after this podcast live, uh, at glenbeck.com.
00:17:55.560
Also on Stu Does America is YouTube and Glenn, Glenn Beck, um, YouTube, youtube.com slash
00:18:01.900
glenbeck and youtube.com slash Stu Does America, uh, which by the way, I've got to talk to you
00:18:06.720
about this later, Stu, uh, you got to get control of that.
00:18:09.180
I mean, you know, somebody is hacking you, uh, and it's bad, it's, it's, it's bad.
00:18:24.360
Um, let me, uh, let me play what Tim Walls has just said.
00:18:32.340
And at this point in time, I told Tom, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt,
00:18:35.360
but unless I see a reduction in these folks on the streets, um, I'm going to have to say
00:18:42.140
So look, we, we all think we all want to avoid that, but I think the reality has sunk in this
00:18:46.860
If you thought you could pass this by and you thought there was nothing there.
00:18:50.080
I mean, is, is, is this a Fort Sumter, John Brown, where, where are we at on this?
00:18:56.160
And I have said it time and time again, the way you win this is true.
00:19:07.460
Let me just for, for those who don't remember history, because it was boring when you were
00:19:22.440
They, uh, used an organized force against the federal government and attacked Fort Sumter.
00:19:38.520
He's implicitly saying, this is the opening shot of an organized resistance against federal
00:19:46.320
Once you start talking about Fort Sumter, you're not talking about protest or dissent or civil
00:19:55.120
And by the way, Tim, that puts you as a Confederate.
00:20:00.160
The winning side, that makes you a Confederate.
00:20:02.280
Then he follows that with, is this Fort Sumter?
00:20:06.760
John Brown now, because we're so historically illiterate, we think, oh, well, John Brown was
00:20:13.340
He was an abolitionist that even Abraham Lincoln distanced himself from.
00:20:18.340
He was an abolitionist and he was morally, his moral conviction was everything that motivated
00:20:30.620
He, he, he, he did not believe in the democratic or constitutional process anymore.
00:20:35.720
Um, even the people who were abolitionists, even the Northerners were like John Brown.
00:20:41.440
And then they realized this guy is out of control because he, uh, he led raids and killings
00:20:49.660
and he terrified people, even people on his own side.
00:20:56.100
All that John Brown actually did in the end was accelerate the polarization, not reconciliation,
00:21:04.180
That was used as fire in the civil war, Abraham Lincoln, not an apologist distanced himself
00:21:25.400
So when, when Walsh invokes John Brown, he's normalizing political violence, violence is
00:21:45.180
What it did was harden the size of the sides, legitimize retaliation, make any kind of compromise.
00:21:55.400
So, there's the governor of Minnesota recasting federal law enforcement as an occupying enemy,
00:22:06.100
elevating resistance over law, suggesting violence is historically justified.
00:22:18.620
Pre-Civil War sometimes will lead to civil war.
00:22:21.640
This is the talk of an insurrectionist, really dangerous.
00:22:27.120
And by the way, Trump yesterday called Alex Preddy an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist.
00:22:46.240
And also, we're going to recall when Tim Walsh called into the show.
00:22:52.100
I think it was the night of the first debate, wasn't it?
00:23:04.580
Pat Gray joins us as well in just a couple of minutes.
00:23:24.300
Dogs have a way of telling you when something's not quite right.
00:23:31.420
You know, they're not eager to jump around and run like they used to.
00:23:35.940
But a lot of times we just go, ah, they're getting older.
00:23:44.720
And if you think our processed food is bad, imagine what's happening to our dogs.
00:23:51.540
It means everything that they really need that's alive and really good, that's all cooked out of there.
00:24:07.600
I mean, one of my favorite sounds from Uno was the sound of the bowl hitting the side of the wall and his chain hitting the bowl.
00:24:15.320
I knew he was happy when he was eating, which never happened before Rough Greens.

00:24:37.600
We're live on YouTube, but all three hours today and an extra hour afterward.
00:24:43.040
YouTube.com slash Studos America or Glenn Beck.
00:25:01.700
There's going to be a special fourth hour today.
00:25:10.600
No, but he's quitting anyway because that's the kind of guy he is.
00:25:21.240
This is the one and only time Stu ever did Tim Walls because his throat hurt afterwards.
00:25:30.480
But it was the day that Tim Walls was going to do the debate.
00:26:35.480
I'm going to say that tonight on the debate stage.
00:27:05.860
I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer.
00:27:21.100
We're going to talk to you about the J.D. Vett's debate.
00:28:11.820
It's actually been in development for a while since I'm really thinking about it.
00:28:19.740
I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference
00:28:28.420
We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV.
00:28:34.960
Tim Walz may have to stand by and come on the program tonight, so you don't want to miss that.
00:28:46.320
This is the only time that Tim Walz ever appeared on the program because Stu finished it.
00:28:59.980
And it's amazing that I would ever leave a job that would pay me to do that.
00:29:14.420
I think that might have not been the actual what you were doing as much as the hate that came with that.
00:29:20.920
Yes, it was the pure Tim Walz concentrated hatred that was associated with that particular voice.
00:29:29.160
So, Stu, you are leaving and you haven't announced to anybody yet what you're doing.
00:29:39.120
So, you know, it's been something, it's a little bit different than what we've been doing for the last 28 years together.
00:29:48.760
Parts of the stuff that we've been doing here for a long time.
00:29:51.560
You know, one of my roles here in the program has kind of been chief data nerd, a guy who, you know, looks at the elections and tries to predict the outcomes to them and analyzes all that stuff.
00:30:02.320
And so I'm starting a new company that is revolving in the world of prediction markets.
00:30:07.540
If you don't know what they are, they've kind of only become widespread over the past year or so.
00:30:13.460
But basically you can kind of look and invest on whether anything is going to happen, yes or no.
00:30:19.720
A simple question, will this happen or not, yes or no.
00:30:25.180
And if you're correct, you can profit off of that information.
00:30:31.460
Are you analyzing those sites or are you starting, are you, are you falling in with a mob?
00:30:39.560
Look, if the mob has money they want to hand me for this operation, I'm interested.
00:30:46.160
But no, this is like, you know, the company's going to be doing a few different things.
00:30:49.880
But the one that's probably interesting to the audience is we're going to have a show.
00:30:53.440
It's going to be called Predictable with Stubergear.
00:31:16.260
He'll let me use it as long as I just pay him constantly.
00:31:28.560
But the show is going to analyze the news, the things that we talk about every day, kind
00:31:31.960
of a special focus on the elections, considering we're going into election time.
00:31:35.720
And that's been something, somewhat of an expertise of mine for a while.
00:31:39.420
And we're going to be talking about all these news events as they relate to these prediction
00:31:44.320
And, you know, I think it really gives, you know, the free market that we talk about all
00:31:49.160
the time, that makes the world a better place, that improves the world, that does so many
00:31:52.680
amazing things, can be applied here as sort of an engine to find the truth.
00:31:58.780
You know, the media is obviously going down the wrong road with this.
00:32:03.460
They want you to go the total opposite direction.
00:32:06.420
They're trying to move you to get to the right side of history all the time.
00:32:09.700
I mean, we're in a time where a Supreme Court justice can't answer a question about what
00:32:20.420
And what I love about prediction markets, and it's a really unique thing with them, is
00:32:25.040
you have to put your money where your mouth is.
00:32:28.880
These are, you're betting, you're investing with your own real money, and people don't lie
00:32:43.400
I mean, remember, DARPA did this right after 9-11, and they said, we're going to go to
00:32:48.300
the Five Eyes and to people who study terrorism, and we're going to let them invest in a kind
00:32:54.980
of a stock market, if you will, of where do they think the most likely terrorist attacks
00:33:02.980
And it was stopped because everybody was like, that's an outrage.
00:33:09.920
Get people to put their money on where are the weaknesses?
00:33:14.860
I just think that is, that is the way to find out how people really feel.
00:33:21.500
And I, you know, like the elections are a really good example of this, right?
00:33:24.240
You know, you have the media telling you who they want to win.
00:33:27.160
They're constantly pushing one way or the other.
00:33:30.420
You've got the campaigns that are lying to you about whether they're going to win or not.
00:33:35.600
You have, I mean, you also have a lot of people who are telling you exactly what you want to
00:33:46.160
And these markets can really do damage in that world.
00:33:51.020
They can cut through the punditry, which I really, really like in today's world.
00:33:55.040
I think it's something, a really important additional layer that we don't have really in our
00:34:04.060
If you, by the way, are going to, if you go there, put your email address in for free,
00:34:12.300
We're going to give you the kind of the outline of as to what the Senate race is going to look
00:34:16.540
like in 2026, kind of a starting point for everyone to be able to understand what we are
00:34:21.380
facing here in the next few months, which are going to be pretty intense.
00:34:28.020
Now, I also will say another interesting layer, you know, prediction markets aren't
00:34:34.900
And that's good because when they have the wrong answers, you are able to profit off of
00:34:40.440
And this is something that I have been doing on, you know, behind the scenes on, you know,
00:34:45.560
my own dime for a long time, over a decade now.
00:34:49.040
Been using prediction markets myself, paid for a lot of vacations over the years because of it.
00:34:55.620
And I think it's a much more accessible way for people to, to invest, right?
00:35:01.460
Like you can go in and try to predict what a stock's going to do.
00:35:19.500
Secondly, I have gambled a decent amount in my life.
00:35:33.960
If this, I really do think there's something different.
00:35:38.800
People know this audience is obsessed with knowing what's going on in the world.
00:35:43.940
They sit here and they listen to this stupid show and your nonsensical rantings just to get to one fact every once in a while.
00:35:57.460
Like if you know, you know your senator in your state and he always folds on a big vote.
00:36:02.680
And everyone's telling you he's going to vote one way and you know he's going to fold.
00:36:09.240
You go on the prediction market and you say, hey, there's an 80% chance he's voting one way.
00:36:16.920
You know, it's different than like you put money into a stock.
00:36:21.360
You are trying to analyze what some Chinese supply chain is doing.
00:36:27.740
What, you know, what is going on internally in the country or internally inside of the company?
00:36:33.980
Is the CEO going to hook up with some random person at a Coldplay concert and blow the stock up?
00:36:39.060
You have no idea what's going on with all this stuff.
00:36:50.420
You can actually look at these things and do really well.
00:36:53.960
I've been able to do really, really well, particularly on the elections.
00:36:58.240
But we're going to look at culture and all these other things as well.
00:37:01.020
Bring on like tons of, you know, the best traders in the world and the biggest experts to kind of get you to look for an edge.
00:37:12.140
By the way, it's, of course, it's predictableshow.com, something like that.
00:37:20.720
And Stu is going to be joining us from time to time because there is a lot.
00:37:24.920
I really believe in the prediction markets like this.
00:37:27.140
I think that there is a lot of information to be.
00:37:29.640
And when Stu told me this, I was prepared to go, don't go, don't go, don't go.
00:37:37.700
And he told me, and I was like, you know, that is absolutely, this is you.
00:37:48.720
But, you know, it's absolutely what Stu should be doing.
00:37:57.760
So you're not really leaving to sell facial cream because that's what I heard it was.
00:38:02.940
A lot of people guessed that it was facial cream.
00:38:04.940
I heard you and Bill O'Reilly were going to sell facial cream.
00:38:06.920
I will tell you, may I say, this announcement has just changed in the last hour and a half
00:38:15.200
And now that Don Lemon has been arrested, he's like, well, now I can't go produce that show.
00:38:28.160
Even if you don't care about prediction markets, the election analysis you're going to get there,
00:38:36.080
And then also, a lot of people were asking what's going on with Blaze TV.
00:38:39.200
I'm going to be doing Studis America, a new episode on Monday.
00:38:42.200
So, you know, if you want to hear me rant about everything I've been ranting about over the years,
00:38:47.660
We're not letting you down on the Blaze TV family.
00:38:53.020
If you just go to YouTube.com slash Studis America, the show Predictable will eventually be there as well.
00:38:58.100
So thanks so much for – and I've got to say, too, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this.
00:39:05.100
Glenn's been very cool and very supportive about all of this.
00:39:18.960
We've all had that moment where you really needed to reach somebody, and your phone decides,
00:39:24.140
Calls drop, signal bars disappear, and you're moving around trying to find a spot where your voice actually goes through.
00:39:30.200
It's amazing how dependent we are on devices that don't always cooperate.
00:39:33.420
And that's why I like to have a backup way to communicate, especially when we're up at the ranch.
00:39:37.300
I've got 1,000 acres, and it is very mountainous, and there's no cell signal there at all.
00:39:44.600
You can hear each other crystal clear on Rapid Radios, and the range is really what catches people off guard.
00:39:53.540
I mean, you can go across state lines, and it's clear audio.
00:40:00.660
You push the button, and you talk, and your whole team can hear you.
00:40:03.340
Rapid Radios also offers a 60% discount for businesses.
00:40:06.640
It's a practical way to keep your teams connected on job sites or large properties.

00:40:34.380
But around here, it's still standard equipment.
00:40:52.300
So a lot of people think that being tired in the middle of the day is just part of being busy.
00:40:56.760
You grab more coffee, you power through, and you assume that's normal.
00:41:04.600
It's honestly, it's your body reacting to the food you're giving it usually.
00:41:09.420
When meals are heavy on quick carbs and low in the nutrients your body actually needs, blood sugar can spike and blood sugar can crash.
00:41:16.400
And that roller coaster does not just affect hunger, it affects energy and focus and even mood.
00:41:22.080
You feel good for a little while, and then suddenly you're dragging and wondering what happened.
00:41:27.340
Health Code was created to help smooth that out.
00:41:30.360
It's built around supporting metabolic health, which is really about keeping your internal fuel system more steady and more predictable.
00:41:42.420
He's a metabolic researcher who studies how insulin and blood sugar regulation affect how we feel day to day.
00:41:48.920
Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake.
00:41:51.280
It's designed with that research in mind, and it emphasizes protein and healthy fats, keeps the carbs really low, and it avoids the added sugar and supports metabolic gut and brain health all at the same time.
00:42:01.980
Instead of your meals pushing your body around, they start working with it and helping energy feel more consistent, to feel the hunger kind of be a little less chaotic.

You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement, and it comes from repetition.
00:43:51.640
Sitting too long, standing too long, moving the same way every day.
00:43:54.980
And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't.
00:43:59.580
What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension.
00:44:03.660
Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine.
00:44:08.380
The ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life.
00:44:12.820
You lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release.
00:44:20.400
There's a groove down the center, so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself.
00:44:25.520
And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want it something gentle or more targeted.
00:44:32.000
Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years.
00:44:36.720

You can see all of the things that we're doing, including the fourth hour today.
00:46:12.020
But first, let me just recap some of the news that's going on.
00:46:15.780
We have a new chairman of the Fed, Kevin Warsh.
00:46:27.040
The Fed gives the president a list, kind of like the mullahs in Iran, and says, you can pick one of these guys.
00:46:34.480
And so the president's like, okay, I'll take that guy.
00:46:37.660
So we got that guy, and he'll be replacing the other guy that was oh so good.
00:46:52.040
We may have a strike also on Iran, and Tim Walsh is in the news, as is Alex Preddy.
00:47:01.540
But we'll pick all of this up here in 60 seconds.
00:47:04.080
First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:47:06.040
Buying or selling a house is one of those things people do maybe a handful of times in their life.
00:47:11.260
And yet we expect ourselves to be experts at it.
00:47:14.500
We scroll some listings, and we think, ah, bro, I've got a handle on how all this works.
00:47:20.520
They're fast, and they're full of details that can cost you a lot of money if you miss them.
00:47:24.780
That's why I tell people about real estate agents I trust.
00:47:27.360
Real estate agents I trust.com is my company, born out of frustration, not being able to know
00:47:34.960
How do I know who's going to be able to sell my house?
00:47:37.180
I mean, real estate agents come in your house, and you're like, can you sell my house?
00:47:51.740
We have great real estate agents that are waiting to talk to you.
00:48:04.920
So the staff has put together a little montage that none of us have heard yet.
00:48:09.720
It just kind of looks back on all of the years that Stu has been on this program, some of the
00:48:14.760
personal things and some of the funniest things on the program.
00:48:21.140
Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years.
00:48:27.860
And Stu has, for a long time, wanted to, you know, do his own thing.
00:48:39.240
Then you went to the Glenn Beck program where you were the co-host EP, executive producer.
00:48:45.960
Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergeer.
00:48:50.220
Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergeer.
00:49:03.060
I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did.
00:49:18.060
Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career.
00:49:26.440
So I knew you from your morning show at KC 101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically.
00:49:33.380
And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning.
00:49:35.460
And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time.
00:49:48.940
Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest.
00:49:57.600
And then you can convince them you were part of their success later on.
00:50:14.140
And he has told me what he was, what he's planning on doing.
00:50:22.200
I'm just sad that it's going to bring you further away from me.
00:50:25.940
You won't see each other every day, but hopefully you'll be bringing some of this stuff onto the show.
00:50:30.100
And, uh, I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, uh, and more loyal than you.
00:50:36.600
You know, a big part of my job and my career has been trying to execute your vision.
00:50:41.320
Like, what you want to do, what you think is the most important.
00:50:44.100
I said this morning, I said we were in this meeting and I said,
00:50:49.480
And, uh, you know, I thought of this big foam thing where his face would be inside the number six or something.
00:50:55.140
But did you stop and think at any time, why did I say we've got to get Stu in a numbers costume?
00:51:04.940
And, um, and Stu, I, um, I assume that the number two plays a role.
00:51:11.180
And, and, cause last night one didn't really stand for anything.
00:51:14.780
You were very clear after the show that you wanted the number costume to make sense.
00:51:24.960
Uh, yeah, national polls are, we're showing a definite tightening.
00:51:35.820
Uh, we also have, uh, some of the latest poll results that are in.
00:51:48.060
That's what I, when I said, like you said, that's what I was indicating.
00:52:03.120
You're wearing your most obnoxious Eagles, uh, sweatshirt.
00:52:07.520
What's wrong with you still backing the Eagles?
00:52:13.100
And I knew there was something special about what we were doing.
00:52:21.300
I'm going to say that tonight on the debate stage.
00:52:55.040
So today, I mean, we're not really saying goodbye to Stu because I mean, if history teaches
00:53:05.480
us anything, it's that goodbyes with Stu's are more a little like intermissions, you know,
00:53:10.660
It's kind of a little more like, Hey, we'll see you after the snack bar situation.
00:53:16.940
Stu, Stu started as an intern, which means at one point in his life, he fetched coffee and
00:53:22.800
thought, you know, either I might, I might be able to do better than this.
00:53:27.000
Uh, and to his credit, uh, he did, he was producer, executive producer, head writer of
00:53:32.840
the program, um, which is not really a career ladder, the ladder that's more of like a hostile
00:53:38.160
takeover, you know, um, uh, you know, conducted with sarcasm and impeccable timing.
00:53:45.220
And he has been with me for 28 years, which is longer than most Hollywood marriages, uh,
00:53:51.380
longer than both of our marriages, um, longer than most governments last, uh, longer than
00:53:58.220
the average Eagle Superbowl window, you know, uh, and here we are, here we are again, because
00:54:06.420
I just want to let, I mean, just let's be clear.
00:54:08.920
He left this show once to start his own show and it failed and spectacularly, I mean, none
00:54:18.500
I mean, it wasn't a dignified creative differences kind of failure.
00:54:23.340
This was like come crawling back like a Vietnam vet looking for his old platoon kind of failure,
00:54:31.980
I welcomed him back because that's what family does.
00:54:35.320
It was also the type of failure where I took over for you and left with higher ratings.
00:54:39.680
That's the type of failure it was by the way, uh, just so you're aware right before, please
00:54:46.160
let me get this out or I'll cry right before syndication, right before syndication, you know,
00:54:52.540
the promised land, Stu almost left again, but this time he saved because, you know, he stayed
00:54:56.860
because he was like, wow, that could make me a lot of money.
00:54:58.920
And so he did stay, which brings us to today where Stu is leaving us one more time.
00:55:05.340
Um, somehow or another convinced that this time will be different.
00:55:10.900
Because this time he's doing a show about odds, odds hosted by a man who has repeatedly
00:55:20.200
A man who looks at a lifetime of data and says, yeah, but this time I kind of feel lucky.
00:55:26.580
So, uh, so we wish him all of the best, uh, on the, uh, feels like it.
00:55:32.700
And by the way, no, no, I mean, I, I sincerely, I sincerely, anyway, so he's leaving again.
00:55:42.780
Uh, and, um, and one of Stu's superpowers, and this is honest, um, is, uh, not comedic
00:55:51.120
timing, although he's got the, some of the best comedic timing, it's emotional sabotage
00:55:55.840
Um, you know, you can guarantee if I share the, I mean, the reason why I'm not sharing
00:56:02.420
anything personal, spiritual, vulnerable is because that's when Stu strikes.
00:56:08.840
He's got this, I mean, not with a thoughtful question, not with empathy.
00:56:13.400
Usually it's with a fat joke, sometimes brilliant, sometimes a little lazy, but it's always perfectly
00:56:23.000
And that, I mean, I could be talking about God and, and Stu's like, yeah, but have you
00:56:33.600
Um, but, uh, he, um, one of the things we're going to miss, and a lot of people are on the
00:56:38.580
phone saying that, you know, they remember all of the stuff with Super Bowls and everything
00:56:43.340
Um, and those, that's where you'll find his real loyalties.
00:56:47.280
Philadelphia Eagles, apparently quitting and Philadelphia Eagles.
00:56:52.780
Um, he loves the Eagles more than his wife and children, which is impressive because I'm
00:56:57.440
told by Stu's new PR firm that they apparently still love him a lot.
00:57:02.740
Um, but, uh, that's what, I mean, that's just what I heard.
00:57:07.140
Um, but, uh, I wanted to give you something, Stu, because, you know, you didn't earn the car.
00:57:18.720
I wanted to get you something, um, because honestly, um, you're one of my best friends.
00:57:33.980
You are indispensable, irreplaceable, on and off the air.
00:57:44.840
You've made this show funnier and smarter and sharper.
00:57:51.340
Um, you have made me a better man, uh, and, uh, and I'm going to miss you.
00:58:00.520
Um, interns don't last 27 years and, uh, quitters don't get welcome back.
00:58:10.300
Um, and failures don't leave legacies, which you have left.
00:58:14.340
Even though the odds may not be in your favor on the, you know, I mean, the show will fail.
00:58:24.320
And then you'll be back and I'll leave the lights on.
00:58:30.120
Uh, so if you just, I think it should be there by you.
00:58:34.700
Um, and, uh, just say thank you for the best broadcast experience and the best years of my life.
00:59:29.840
I thought it might just be a box of human waste.
01:00:01.880
If you take it out and look on the backside, it has the NFL logo and the Eagles on the front of the face.
01:00:07.740
So it's a commemorative limited edition watch just for the Eagles.
01:00:15.040
There were more of them, but the Eagles threw them out and were hitting, helting Santa with them.
01:00:38.700
And, uh, I, you know, I can't thank you enough for everything.
01:00:43.320
Um, I don't want to, uh, become a sobbing mess, so I'm going to stop.
01:01:07.460
When your phone buzzes, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do, connecting you to the people that you care about.
01:01:18.280
Uh, strange phone never buzzes or rings with Stu on the other line, but that's, you know, a different story.
01:01:24.340
Um, but here's the part most people never think about.
01:01:26.800
Your phone, uh, your phone company is connected to all kinds of things.
01:01:30.900
Big mobile corporations don't just provide service.
01:01:34.440
They lobby for policies and support agendas with, you know, the money you send them every single month.
01:01:39.700
And a lot of, a lot of the time, those causes are exact opposite of what you are trying to live by.
01:01:44.120
Patriot Mobile flips that script and you'll get nationwide coverage.
01:01:49.500
Um, you still get phones, uh, that work the way they should, but now your bill is connected to something different.
01:01:54.940
Support for free speech and religious liberty and the second amendment and the sanctity of life and all the things you care deeply about.
01:02:03.580
Patriot Mobile makes sure your money connects you to your values.
01:02:06.260
So go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT-972-PATRIOT.
01:02:11.100
Use the promo code Beck for a free month of service.
01:02:37.740
Now, I do not have, uh, the, uh, you know, the ability maybe to select an amazing watch like you gave me, but I thought I got something that I thought you'd appreciate.
01:02:53.880
So this is, this is, uh, something I think you'll like.
01:02:58.120
Um, I, you know, again, the only thing I know maybe more than you is sports.
01:03:01.280
So I thought I could get you something cool, uh, related to your favorite player, uh, Patrick Mahomes.
01:03:28.660
Now, it is signed by Cooper Dejean after the pick six in the Super Bowl, but you can see Patrick Mahomes.
01:03:37.060
And, you know, I, and not exactly center, but right in the front, a little blurry, but he is in the picture.
01:03:44.980
On Monday, on Monday, uh, on Monday as, um, you know, for people who are signing up for the torch, somebody's going to win an amazing picture of the Philadelphia Eagles signed by somebody.
01:04:10.620
You know, it's, you know, what's weird is, uh, you know what this weekend is?
01:04:14.160
This is something we have tried to erase from everything that we could ever, we ever knew existed.
01:04:30.100
We started in Tampa and true story is a parade.
01:04:38.600
And the station asked us, WFLA asked us if we could host it.
01:04:42.780
And Jeffy was there, Stu was there, I was there, and we did not want to host it.
01:04:47.900
We were like, no, I don't want to host this thing.
01:04:52.940
We are going to make the most offensive broadcast that we could possibly come up with.
01:05:05.320
Um, but we've made, we made it, we were rating the cheerleaders of the high school bands.
01:05:11.980
And when you say we, too many fat ones in this, you, you and Jeffy, uh, of course.
01:05:17.320
I mean, it was, it was, it was horrific and we knew it and it was hysterical, but horrific.
01:05:23.860
But we wanted to make sure that they never asked us again.
01:05:31.580
And then they asked us every year and thank God for syndication.
01:05:38.600
It was horrendous, but this is the anniversary.
01:05:46.080
Uh, yeah, I know he changed the subject to Gasparilla.
01:05:54.700
It's a signed picture of somebody in the end zone with Patrick Mahomes in the background.
01:06:25.240
You don't need a news alert to know, you know, the world feels different than it, than it used to.
01:06:32.440
And a lot of people are realizing, uh, you just can't assume that everything is going to be, you know, okay, because it always has been.
01:06:39.200
There's, there's a big difference between living in fear and being prepared, but, but recognizing reality.
01:06:45.160
Simply safe wants to make it really easy to protect your home without turning your life upside down.
01:06:50.960
No drilling through walls, no pushy salespeople, nobody coming in, no long-term contracts hanging over your head.
01:06:56.500
The system watches over your doors and your windows and your rooms.

If something triggers it, you're alerted immediately.
01:07:03.040
And professional monitoring can dispatch help fast.
01:07:06.180
If you're living in an apartment or something, you're getting ready to move or whatever, you can take it with you.
01:07:12.820
It's about being prepared, knowing that when you lay your head down at night, when you, or when you leave for work or you're gone for a while,
01:07:23.100
And right now you can get 50% off of any new system this month only.
01:07:40.320
Please join us on the new venture, PredictableShow.com.
01:07:49.020
So I got to tell you, I don't know why we're doing this big thing for Stu today.
01:08:05.580
We're going to get to the news here in a second.
01:08:07.060
But, I mean, technically, I'm the one who's gone.
01:08:15.100
I really appreciate your dedication to our 28-year working relationship.
01:08:20.680
Yeah, well, it's the only way I can deal with it is you on the other side of the country.
01:08:30.520
Although, Stu and Pat will be filling in, you know, for me.
01:08:33.740
And Stu will be part of the show from time to time.
01:08:38.600
Well, it's up to Pat because Pat's really in the pole position now.
01:08:50.380
And, you know, another show that Stu quit on was the Pat and Stu show with Jeffy.
01:09:07.720
I think the typical radio job averages like 16 months.
01:09:12.420
I asked for 28 years and I got called a quitter on my last day over and over and over again.
01:09:17.020
Yeah, but you got a 100% certified replica watch.
01:09:22.480
You didn't buy this from Jeffy because his are knockoffs.
01:09:32.160
I might have purchased it from Jeffy, but I didn't get it from Jeffy.
01:09:35.860
Um, uh, so, uh, we have a lot of people on the phone.
01:09:46.180
I have a quick story about how the good Lord possibly spared my life for two Super Bowls,
01:10:03.820
Well, in December of 2001, I went through a windshield of a car in a car accident.
01:10:12.720
And then a couple months later in February, the Patriots won a Super Bowl that, that night
01:10:22.560
I was in a rollover in Westville, Virginia, on my way to Kentucky.
01:10:28.400
And Jeffy actually promised land by Elvis was playing at the time.
01:10:35.720
Then years later, the plumber for LL Bean, he got me hooked on, on your show.
01:11:05.920
Well, the commissioner was created because of that.
01:11:11.900
Anyway, Luke, go ahead with your fine, fine story.
01:11:15.880
A gentleman by the name of Pat Gray called in and threw a flag.
01:11:21.180
And he called out Stu on that because there were so many smart people.
01:11:28.980
There's just smart people that are Eagles fans.
01:11:35.280
Who knew all 12 of them in Philadelphia would be able to call on that day?
01:11:40.260
Then somehow it painted the picture that us New Englanders were stupid.
01:11:56.540
And I threw that flag clear from Houston, Texas.
01:12:01.840
That's how important it was to throw that flag.
01:12:04.440
Luke, can you bring us to the sandwich and the saving of the life?
01:12:11.260
And then you sent him out in Philly with that New England Super Bowl shirt on.
01:12:18.780
He screamed out, the Liberty Bell is broken, so is the Constitution.
01:12:30.380
Can you play the tape of Stu and his punishment?
01:12:52.100
It's going to ruin my future political career, that's for sure.
01:12:55.740
Actually, my running in Minnesota probably would win.
01:12:59.980
Was this a separate time from you when you had to, when I put you with the steps?
01:13:06.080
So the thing was, I wanted to go to the Super Bowl.
01:13:12.480
And I thought, you know, I was hoping the Eagles would win.
01:13:16.280
But you said if the Eagles lose, you were going to come back and I was going to have to be tortured when I came back.
01:13:20.700
So you made me run up the Rocky steps, which, by the way, way too much exercise.
01:13:26.040
But then at the top, you made me yell with a sign, Rocky was a loser, too.
01:13:34.980
People of Philadelphia have such a good sense of humor.
01:13:39.920
The second one was I went to the Liberty Bell and told them the stupid bell is broken.
01:13:47.400
And then the third one was actually maybe the most embarrassing, which is I had to go to, I think it was Gino's Cheesesteaks and order a hamburger sub with Swiss.
01:14:07.440
And they're not, they're not exactly the type that just say, I'm sorry, sir.
01:14:14.980
But, you know, I got to go see a Super Bowl, even though they lost it.
01:14:18.340
So eventually they did wind up winning, too, just to remind people.
01:14:23.200
Let me, let me go to Mike in Illinois on line six.
01:14:30.900
First of all, if you guys ever come to Chicago, let me know.
01:14:33.420
I'll put 20 pounds on you because I'll take you all to a good place to eat.
01:14:48.180
The only one that likes deep dish is the Travel Channel.
01:15:01.700
I, you know, I mean, that's not a way to talk about Pat or Jeffy.
01:15:07.980
He's going to augur, he's going to augur the show down like a Cessna 150 in about two weeks.
01:15:13.420
I mean, you're the one that keeps us together here.
01:15:20.780
Yes, he is a very pasty white guy, but he moved to Florida.
01:15:24.380
This guy's going to be George Hamilton in a few weeks.
01:15:26.760
Like, this is going to, he's going to be, he is going to look.
01:15:29.580
I am so riddled with skin cancer, my wife will not let me outside.
01:15:34.640
I look at the sun and she's like, get an umbrella.
01:15:51.320
I'm remembering about 25 years ago, you were on a serious phone call with a lady named Jean.
01:15:57.320
And I think you were telling her about a relative that had passed away that was riddled with
01:16:02.780
SIDS and Stu kept chiming in with the feminine high and you kept saying her name.
01:16:09.000
And I nearly wrecked my truck listening to that bit.
01:16:11.700
So I don't know if I crudged it up from the past.
01:16:19.460
I mean, we have been overwhelmed this week with people, you know, online, the people,
01:16:23.080
the insiders, and people who have been calling and writing, remembering things that we have
01:16:27.880
done that we have completely, I mean, most of it, I swear we never did.
01:16:41.460
It's been really cool to go down that memory lane, if you will.
01:16:46.000
And so many of them are either incredibly embarrassing, really, really funny, or I had just totally
01:16:54.720
I mean, like, you guys have such a great memory compared to us.
01:16:58.900
I know yours was drugs, Glenn, but I don't know why I'm having a problem with it.
01:17:03.860
I saw pictures of Stu and I in the studio falling asleep to Glenn's radio show in 2001.
01:17:23.380
But let me tell you, five of us got together through 10 bucks each into a pool.
01:17:30.980
We wrote down different things of what we thought you were going to do.
01:17:35.700
And then to figure out who was going to be right, had to pull it from the hat.
01:17:42.940
And so I pulled out of the hat that you were going to do gay porn.
01:17:51.300
There's really, with AI coming in, though, there's just not a future there, you know?
01:17:56.360
What's weird is he was going to do it with Don Lemon until Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles today.
01:18:21.140
Stu, I just want to know what it's been like to work with Glenn.
01:18:25.140
I notice he changes his image packaging every two or three months.
01:18:29.500
What is it like to work with a guy who can change on a dime?
01:18:33.760
You're like a Michael Landon to me, honest to God.
01:18:41.100
I'm waiting for you to blow up the little city like Michael Landon did.
01:18:46.960
Don Imus says, I love Glenn Beck, but I'm worried they're going to take him out of 30 Rock in a straight jacket.
01:18:51.500
So what's it been like to work with a guy that might be taken out of the room with a straight jacket, Stu?
01:18:56.880
It has been everything that Don Imus described.
01:19:00.440
There have been many times I've seen people come up to the door, and I hoped it was an authority figure of some sort to remove Glenn.
01:19:16.900
I don't – it's going to be a very interesting next few years trying to figure all this stuff out, man.
01:19:25.380
And, you know, I hope – I hope this – it's what Glenn always says to me when we go to the break, and we're just like, God, what is going to happen?
01:19:32.420
And he goes, you know, the way I always look at it is, it's going to be really interesting to see how this all plays out.
01:19:38.400
And if you kind of just think of it that way, you're right.
01:19:41.340
If it's just like kind of a movie that we're all watching, everything – wow, that was an interesting movie.
01:19:49.180
You're just like, oh, gosh, you'll probably save the day.
01:19:56.380
Little less optimistic than a rock action film that the ending is going to work out the right way.
01:20:13.820
I want you to be able to protect yourself and your family.
01:20:22.040
But understand also that using lethal force is a line you never want to cross unless there's absolutely no other choice.
01:20:28.320
Most people say, I carry a gun, but have you gone to the range?
01:20:34.380
Burn of Launcher is a less lethal self-defense tool.
01:20:37.760
It fires powerful kinetic and pepper and tear gas projectiles.
01:20:44.040
And it's designed to stop a threat without permanently ending a life.
01:20:48.740
It gives you an option between shouting and shooting.
01:20:52.100
And the compact launcher makes it even more practical.
01:20:54.580
I mean, in today's world with what we're seeing, we talked earlier about what Tim Walls said.
01:21:04.680
Saying that this is either Fort Sumter or John Brown.
01:21:10.700
Either way, that puts him in either a Confederate role or a violent extremist.
01:21:24.140
Anyway, you want to make sure that you are safe.
01:21:32.920
Everybody in my family over 20 has one or over 18 has a burner launcher.
01:21:39.740
You can even try before you buy it at Sportsman's Warehouse.
01:21:42.020
Find the location near you at Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
01:22:13.340
We've been going through all the memories of the shows over the years.
01:22:15.740
Another memory I have almost every holiday season was a Pat Gray who would come in to the office with incredibly delicious cookies over and over and over again.
01:22:27.280
And I, in fact, not just me, but everybody around here would be like, why do you keep bringing these to us?
01:22:37.300
And we didn't, I don't think it was our idea, you know, like, but it wound up happening.
01:22:50.180
These are gourmet cookies made with high quality ingredients.
01:22:53.360
They're the best cookies you're ever going to eat.
01:22:57.080
And they are the kind of treat that you don't just, you know, inhale in two bites.
01:23:00.020
That's, I don't think possible for anyone outside of potentially Jeffy.
01:23:06.640
They have in-house marshmallow cream, a deep layer of chocolate that tastes like someone turned your favorite winter drink into a dessert.
01:23:16.040
They've got, you know, great flavors in the Valentine's Day box.
01:23:23.740
But if you go to Keksi.com, check out the cookies they do have available.
01:23:26.420
Take the thinking out of Valentine's gifting for this year.
01:23:29.600
If you grab one of their standard cookie boxes, just use the code stew.
01:23:46.040
Don't forget, we have a Q&A for Stu's last day.
01:23:55.520
It's a fourth hour to the program available at glennbeck.com right after this.
01:24:04.420
Have we just forgotten when Stu quit the first time?
01:24:11.600
Because that was my favorite memory when Stu wasn't there.
01:24:21.540
This is why we started predictableshow.com so that I could avoid, I could be out of here
01:24:34.020
To just get a little more distance if there wasn't enough already.
01:24:40.960
By the way, Mangione, they've just decided that he cannot face the death penalty charges
01:24:51.480
And he has been now, apparently, the state charges of New York, second degree murder.
01:25:03.420
Did a judge dismiss the federal murder and related weapons charge?
01:25:18.780
I would really like to know, how can you, as a judge, dismiss the weapons charge and the
01:25:39.040
What do we think of the possibility of releasing him and putting him in a rental car with a
01:25:50.220
I mean, you can't say no when he shows up, but I mean, they all love him now.
01:25:57.240
You know what a superstar that guy would be in Minneapolis right now?
01:26:05.140
Did you see the guy that tried to break him out of prison by showing up and pretending
01:26:22.260
So was the person that Tim Walsh quoted yesterday.
01:26:43.380
Let me tell you about our sponsors, Patriot Mobile.
01:26:49.420
You probably wouldn't shop at a store if you knew they were using your money to, you know,
01:26:53.200
I don't know, support things you strongly disagree with.
01:26:55.740
If you knew that they were, you know, running drugs across the border or they were involved
01:27:01.340
in something just totally immoral, would you shop at that store anymore?
01:27:05.980
So why are you doing it with some of these big cell phone companies?
01:27:09.140
I've told you for a while now that Verizon, they contribute to Planned Parenthood.
01:27:14.360
Well, depending on, I mean, if you just think that's a choice, then you don't have a problem
01:27:17.840
If you think that that's murder, you're involving yourself.
01:27:21.280
Every time you pay that bill, you're helping them murder children.
01:27:30.680
Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless provider that actually aligns with
01:27:37.700
Call 972-PATRIOT and you're going to get a free month of service.
01:27:42.320
And you're also, all your money is going to things that, you know, support the U.S.
01:27:45.940
Constitution, support our law enforcement agents, you know, support our firefighters and all
01:27:51.640
of the people are putting their lives on the line for us.
01:27:53.840
It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, call 972-PATRIOT, 972-PATRIOT.
01:28:23.840
The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
01:28:59.160
This is opening weekend for Melania, a new film that is out.
01:29:02.480
It's getting panned by all the critics, but of course it is.
01:29:09.760
And I, I mean, when I see the critics do this, I mean, they have so maligned Melania.
01:29:19.980
It makes me want to buy up every ticket in a theater and just, just to support this woman.
01:29:27.940
Can you just leave her alone, please, for the love of Pete?
01:29:31.480
Pete, gosh, she's not involved in the politics of anything.
01:29:40.120
And by the way, the most beautiful first lady we have ever had, bar none.
01:29:49.940
Yesterday, there was a cabinet meeting and Besson made a point of dropping in and saying,
01:29:55.640
hey, I just want to give you an update on the economy.
01:29:58.140
It's worth hearing also, we should talk a little bit about the new Fed chair that is coming in.
01:30:06.140
We have all of this and so much more coming up in just a second.
01:30:08.660
First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.
01:30:10.640
You can't control what happens in the world, but you can control how, how ready you are when it happens.
01:30:16.260
When supply chains get stressed or stores get cleared out, people wish they'd been prepared before it was urgent.
01:30:21.720
And that's why my food preparation has always included my Patriot Supply.
01:30:26.460
My Patriot Supply, they take long-term emergency food kits seriously, and they are designed to last for years in storage, so you're not scrambling.
01:30:34.880
Meals are easy to prepare, built for real-life emergencies.
01:30:38.180
They're designed to give you calories, variety, and peace of mind when you need it the most.
01:30:42.520
It's about responsibility, taking care of the people under your own roof who matter.
01:30:46.580
However, you know, when it comes down, you are the one responsible for them.
01:30:53.000
Hope is important, but hope works a lot better when it's backed up by a plan.
01:30:56.760
So get the best-selling three-month emergency food supply kit for $100 off at my Patriot Supply.
01:31:03.060
They almost never make a deal like this, so take advantage.
01:31:09.320
The food kit gives you 2,000 calories a day, lasts up to 25 years.
01:31:28.240
I hope everyone can just tune out now so we don't have to hear any of this.
01:31:33.080
Thanks for having me on for, I don't know, 28 years or so.
01:31:35.540
Stu is leaving us, and honestly, I was going to talk him out of it, and then I realized,
01:31:47.980
But actually, I heard what his plan was, and I think this is perfect for Stu.
01:31:54.480
This is something that I think he was born to do, because it goes into what he has always liked.
01:32:04.960
He's almost like an idiot savant when it comes to stuff like this.
01:32:12.840
And he has always been the best at giving us the look at the poll numbers, et cetera, et cetera.
01:32:19.660
And he has been fascinated for years with the betting markets.
01:32:24.400
Because, Stu, Pat, Jeffy, do you remember right after 9-11, DARPA came out with this betting market
01:32:31.160
that they were going to do with the five I's, all the intelligence agencies, right?
01:32:40.200
And it's like, no, that's the best way to predict what's coming.
01:32:42.940
Have people put money on what they think is the most likely scenario.
01:32:49.620
And, of course, DARPA stopped it because political pressure, but it was a brilliant idea.
01:32:55.800
Stu believes in that approach as well to find out what's coming next.
01:33:00.440
And he's also, I mean, I paid him so much money he could just afford to throw it away on the betting markets.
01:33:06.200
And it turns out he's, you know, he's right when he looks at prediction markets.
01:33:11.860
So he's starting one and going to be doing a show based on that.
01:33:17.060
You can find all of the information at PredictableShow.com.
01:33:25.700
And if you put in your email address, it's free, by the way, and you'll get our first preview of the 2026 Senate Outlook.
01:33:34.660
That's going to be, obviously, going to be taking up a lot of our time, I think.
01:33:38.980
Hopefully, Glenn, I can come back and talk about it.
01:33:51.060
I was just looking at the calendar, and that day is completely booked.
01:34:34.140
No, it's really the whole quarter of the whole year.
01:34:37.620
Yeah, and then the quarter after that is even worse.
01:34:53.420
And we will be, I will make sure to hit up Kalshi and Polymarket to put anti-Glenbeck markets
01:35:01.480
I will be predicting him, we're predicting his weight.
01:35:04.680
I will be, we will have, I will hit them up to post markets like crazy, just to mock
01:35:18.880
This is the last weekend that's free for glenbeck.com and Torch.
01:35:23.460
If you would like to become a member of Torch, all you have to do is go to glenbeck.com.
01:35:29.100
Next week, I'll be telling you more about it, but I'm going to make it inflation proof.
01:35:36.300
You know, we, we set the price at $9.99 for Blaze years and years ago.
01:35:40.680
With inflation, that is, that, that actually is like $6.
01:35:51.720
Uh, so, you know, the way things are going, this thing will be worth like a dime.
01:35:57.100
Um, but, uh, inflation proof, if you join the first month and it starts on Monday, first
01:36:02.680
month, you'll not only get, um, something special I'll talk to you about, you know,
01:36:07.720
on Monday, but, uh, also you are going to, uh, be inflation proof for the rest of your
01:36:13.260
And this is one of the reasons why I'm, I'm ditching this place, uh, Glenn's business
01:36:17.820
Uh, a man who tells you every day that they're printing trillions and trillions of dollars.
01:36:24.720
We all know the inflation is coming right around the corner.
01:36:27.680
And he, he, he gets all this great content, which is going up on torch.
01:36:34.540
And, and I, outside of my thing, I would love for you to sign up for my thing, but you
01:36:41.880
Uh, and, uh, this is your last chance to get it here over the next couple of days for
01:36:45.540
So check it out before, uh, you do, but I mean, you're going to make this, I don't need
01:36:51.200
I mean, the first month I ever, I, what I heard, everyone gets a free car sign up for
01:36:57.220
If you, if you are all their microphones off now, Sarah, would you please, um, open up
01:37:02.240
Jason's mic, uh, Jason, who is doing the, uh, insider broadcast.
01:37:11.960
This, this is, uh, you know, the economy could go one of two ways.
01:37:17.360
Listen to what Besson said yesterday in the cabinet meeting.
01:37:21.200
The IEPA power you used on the tariffs, as you said, we've got, we're bringing in tens
01:37:27.880
The tens of trillions of investments turns into factories construction, which turns into
01:37:33.120
factory jobs, which turns into consumer spending.
01:37:43.480
Growth was a stunning 4.7, 4.8% in the past two quarters.
01:37:50.560
And we are doing that with government finances improving.
01:37:55.040
So that will bring down the borrowing costs, the calendar year budget for 2024, 7% deficit
01:38:02.300
to GDP, highest when we weren't at war, not in a recession, all the way down to 5.4% and
01:38:12.600
Uh, generational gains in productivity, soaring productivity.
01:38:17.080
We're going to lift, uh, workers pay record high prices, record high profits, and stock
01:38:24.340
You've got a manufacturing renaissance, and all the key inflation metrics are trending
01:38:30.500
Over the past three months, the consumer price index is just 2.1, and core prices are even
01:38:37.700
And I think that that could trend below 1, given energy, as you talked about, the pharmaceutical
01:38:48.540
So we're expecting a great year in 2026, Mr. President.
01:38:53.260
I have to tell you, um, either this president is absolutely right, uh, or, I mean, cause he's,
01:38:59.260
he is, he's changing the economic systems, uh, or the belief in the old way of doing things.
01:39:09.860
Now his latest is, Jason, what do you know about Kevin Warsh, the new nominee for Fed,
01:39:19.380
If you want to get somebody in there and not have to worry about him getting denied in a
01:39:23.000
confirmation, I think that everyone would be willing to vote for him.
01:39:26.260
So he's been on the board of governors before we know that he has said in the past that
01:39:31.120
he is looking for, there needs to be total regime change, uh, within the Fed now.
01:39:38.180
He's now, uh, in line with lowering interest rates.
01:39:41.880
So it's pretty much everything the president wants to happen.
01:39:44.340
And he's also a safe pick to actually be able to go through the process and get in.
01:39:51.100
Cause if he lowers the interest rates, um, conventional wisdom,
01:39:56.260
would say inflation is going to climb higher, but everything that the president has done
01:40:03.080
so far in the first year, everyone has said inflation is going to go out of control and
01:40:10.760
It's just, it's, it's just over 2% inflation, which is the target of the Fed.
01:40:17.820
I mean, he told me a year ago, he said, glad I'm going to convince you that I'm going to
01:40:24.760
I'm, I'm to the point now where I, I mean, I think it's actually kind of working, um,
01:40:31.460
at least for sure on the, uh, on the negotiation, um, uh, and, you know, in world stage, it's
01:40:41.360
not necessarily the most fun, but he's getting so much done on the world stage with the tariffs
01:40:47.240
that I, I, I gotta tell you, I, he might be changing my mind on a lot of things, but
01:40:58.840
So I don't know if you guys saw the, uh, the latest on the Don row doctrine, the stuff that
01:41:08.240
First of all, uh, Venezuela said their oil industry is going to, uh, go back to private.
01:41:16.220
They're going to privatize the oil industry, which is the best thing that could happen
01:41:21.340
Um, the, uh, Panama has voided the China contract, which was one of the first things that the
01:41:29.940
They now, so they've kicked China out of the Panama canal entirely.
01:41:36.100
And then yesterday he put sanctions, new sanctions on Cuba.
01:41:48.960
Uh, they're also saying that they just released 3 million pages of Epstein files.
01:42:02.380
2000, I mean, oh no, he's on every page or he's behind the camera.
01:42:11.280
These are of, this is supposed to be, I think everything now that doesn't mean we're going
01:42:16.660
to, I don't know if it's all, but going to be redacted.
01:42:19.220
I mean, 3 million pages with 2 million, 999,999 redacted isn't going to help us.
01:42:28.940
You have to believe the overwhelming majority is just boring.
01:42:32.220
Like it's not going to be 3 million in interesting documents.
01:42:35.440
I'm sure a lot of it is just, you know, investigation throwaways.
01:42:38.520
I just had a conversation with Jonathan Turley, um, and it airs next week on torch.
01:42:46.340
Uh, we spoke about an hour on insurrection and, and everything, but I asked him about the
01:42:52.220
Clinton, uh, um, uh, subpoena and how they're rejecting it and what Congress should do.
01:43:00.420
So I'd like to get your opinion on guys, what you think should be done with that.
01:43:14.180
When you're dealing with constant aches and stiffness, you know, throughout your body,
01:43:22.040
You think twice about the long walk or you sit down sooner, you get up a little slower
01:43:31.580
This is a daily supplement from relief factor that was developed to help support your body's
01:43:36.320
response to inflammation, which it uses a combination of natural ingredients and it,
01:43:41.800
it helps your body do what it's naturally supposed to do.
01:43:47.100
It's, it's all about helping address the root causes of that discomfort.
01:43:51.280
So you can get moving and working and living the way you want to.
01:43:54.200
Thousands of people have already written in to share how relief factor has helped them feel
01:43:58.060
more comfortable in their own bodies at work, at home, doing the things they love.
01:44:02.200
If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start right now.
01:44:07.400
Call 800-4-RELIEF, 800, the number four relief, or go to relieffactor.com.
01:44:30.000
So the Clintons, Bill and Hillary, both have been subpoenaed by Congress to testify on Capitol
01:44:39.640
And it's, it's really, I think it's a fishing exhibition, expedition.
01:44:48.180
So Bill and Hillary said, nope, we're not going to do it.
01:44:53.960
Um, this has never been done before by like a president and former first lady or, or, uh,
01:45:01.420
Um, but the last time it did happen, two people went to jail, went to prison for it.
01:45:05.880
I thought that the, the Congress would back off because it would just be the Republicans
01:45:12.740
And the, and the Clintons would just use it for propaganda purposes.
01:45:16.320
See, they're, they're just trying to get even with us, but actually Democrats said, no,
01:45:30.640
Should they go after and arrest them and put them in prison for this or not?
01:45:40.860
Um, you know, obviously there's a lot more to it than just that snap decision, but it
01:45:56.900
I mean, don't they, if nobody's above the law, you got to hold them in contempt of Congress.
01:46:02.340
I don't know if they go immediately to prison, but they got to be held in contempt.
01:46:06.520
I mean, I, do I want to see them perp walked, handcuffed?
01:46:13.640
So my feeling has been, this is going to be nothing but used as propaganda to set the
01:46:22.820
I'm talking to Turley and this interview comes out next week.
01:46:25.380
I'm talking to Turley and I asked him about it and he's like, oh, they have to be arrested.
01:46:32.020
Constitutionally, he's like, this is, this is the most blatant violation of a subpoena I've
01:46:38.760
He said, and they did it intentionally because he believes they just think they're above the
01:46:46.800
And he said they have to, if he, yeah, he said, if they don't go after them, if they don't
01:46:53.140
put them in jail or at least arrest them for this and then go to trial, if they don't, he's
01:47:02.680
I mean, I thought that was, he's pretty, you know, he's pretty solid, but he's also
01:47:11.040
He's not going to just, he's not like a, you know, a wild tweeter, you know, he's not just
01:47:20.780
Well, maybe they just asked them, maybe they asked them nicely again.
01:47:27.160
Have they said pretty please with sugar on it yet?
01:47:30.680
Can you imagine though, how, how satisfying it would be for those guys to finally go to
01:47:40.640
I mean, think of all of the things that they have gotten away with.
01:47:44.320
What's the, what's the echo of this though, Glenn?
01:47:50.800
What, what is when the Democrats are in office next time, what's the world look like?
01:47:54.540
Well, because of the way the Democrats are playing all of this, I think even if they
01:48:02.640
don't arrest him, uh, arrest them in 20, uh, 2028, if the Democrats have control of
01:48:09.520
everything, even 2026, if they win this next election, they have control of the house and
01:48:14.100
the Senate, um, we're all in trouble because they, they will go out.
01:48:18.760
I mean, they are already talking about, um, uh, treason for people.
01:48:26.480
I mean, legitimate people are talking about, you're going to be held as a collaborator.
01:48:35.480
These, these are Marxist revolutionaries you're dealing with and purges always come
01:48:43.060
I personally do not think that this is revenge.
01:48:49.360
These guys have gotten away with crimes for a very long time.
01:48:52.300
And that's one of the reasons why it was not for arresting them on this because, you
01:48:56.820
know, until I talked to Turley, I, I didn't think that I thought this was kind of like a
01:49:03.660
And I don't want to see anybody set up for a trap.
01:49:05.760
I want them to legitimately go to jail for legitimate crimes.
01:49:13.000
But I, I will tell you when the Democrats win, uh, there's going to be a very high price
01:49:33.660
There are women right now facing pregnancies that they feel completely unprepared for.
01:49:45.680
No one in their life is telling them it's a baby.
01:49:50.760
Um, pre-born is stepping into that moment with those moms with compassion and real help.
01:49:55.580
And through the work with their network of clinics, they provide free ultrasounds.
01:50:02.320
They support moms who need it for up to two years after the baby is born.
01:50:08.280
And again, when a mom sees her baby on an ultrasound, everything changes.
01:50:11.500
Often she chooses life, but she's still like, I can't make it by myself.
01:50:18.900
Giving both mom and a baby a chance at a future pre-born is celebrating 20 years of saving babies.
01:50:25.400
And there's a moment right now that where you can save countless lives for years to come.
01:50:31.200
An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture.
01:50:33.640
It introduces a mom to her child and many clinics don't have one, nor can they afford one.
01:50:42.280
If you can just chip in on anything you can give, it's tax deductible.
01:50:52.020
With my last 10 second tease, let me tell you to go to predictableshow.com.
01:51:01.520
Coming up in just a few minutes after the radio broadcast, we're going online at glennbeck.com and everywhere else.
01:51:23.160
And you'll be able to watch a Q&A for Stu's last day.
01:51:37.640
And, um, I know very little about Stu, honestly, because he's a lot like Spock.
01:51:45.420
Uh, we were joking in studio earlier today that, uh, uh, if he, if he died, we all probably wouldn't know for maybe two years after he's dead.
01:51:56.980
Well, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you after I was dead.
01:52:01.800
So this is going to be fun to watch because he asked for, uh, some time.
01:52:06.640
He said he wanted to, Glenn, can I have just a few minutes just to talk to the audience?
01:52:17.620
Uh, I will say, despite you, this has been a great time, uh, working on this particular program.
01:52:35.420
Uh, sorry about all this people, but, uh, I really can't picture, uh, adult life without doing the show.
01:52:45.480
I have no experience as an adult, not doing the show.
01:52:50.400
And, uh, it's weird to think about it that way.
01:52:52.640
My wife is standing in the corner and, uh, Glenn outranks her when it comes to time that I've even known them, which is a scary thing to think about.
01:53:03.860
Uh, when I, uh, first met Glenn, I was hanging up balloons.
01:53:09.400
And, you know, Glenn, and I'm not talking to Glenn.
01:53:17.340
Not even thinking about Glenn right now, but I am telling you a story.
01:53:21.700
Which is, Glenn, you know, took me from hanging balloons and gave me an entire career.
01:53:27.820
He taught me everything I know and he had nothing to gain from it at all with the mom.
01:53:37.980
I did get him a lot of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, but outside of that, he had nothing to gain from it.
01:53:43.380
And I had no, uh, no experience in this industry at all.
01:53:49.400
And he was the biggest, you know, personality in the entire state.
01:53:55.920
He took me from, you know, promotions to an intern, to a producer, to an executive producer, to a co-host, from a smaller market, to a larger market, to a national show, to national television, to one of the first ever streaming networks, from an event at a car dealership with literally zero attendees, to the mall in Washington, D.C. with 500,000.
01:54:21.920
Um, you know, you might not know this, but Glenn has been incredibly generous, uh, the entire time we've worked together.
01:54:34.320
And he was equally generous as we tried to, you know, figure out whether we were going to continue to do the show.
01:54:39.380
And in the end, I feel like he really needs someone who's a hundred percent devoted to the really cool things he's doing on, on Torch.
01:54:48.540
It's an amazing project and he's got amazing people working on it.
01:54:51.440
There's a great staff here and, you know, I'm going to go do my thing, uh, predictableshow.com.
01:55:01.020
So please join us, but please join Glenn at glenbeck.com too.
01:55:04.720
There's a lot you're going to be excited about coming up, but I just want you, the audience, to know that I am endlessly grateful to Glenn.
01:55:13.880
And for everything he's done for everything he's done for my career and for my family and for me, he is a, a great friend.
01:55:30.540
And my decision to go, you know, work with a washed up DJ whose career was just over all those years ago will always be the best decision of my entire professional life.
01:55:48.540
And I, you know, I will acknowledge that there are a few people out there.
01:55:56.720
I've noticed this occasionally who don't appreciate Glenn quite the same way that I do.
01:56:02.980
You may have noticed a mildly negative statement made about him in the media from time to time, from politicians, from other commentators.
01:56:15.580
And I will say, while Glenn has been a very successful and has been rewarded with many, many accolades, he does not deserve.
01:56:24.880
I want you in the audience to know the truth that he has sacrificed an incredible amount that he will never tell you about.
01:56:33.700
He's done all of this because he has a true desire to make this country a better place.
01:56:49.800
Many people have made fun of him over the years because of it.
01:56:54.800
But Glenn is really, truly a man who believes in the American people in this country.
01:57:07.880
You might think that this is just something I'm saying because he gave me a really cool watch.
01:57:14.000
But if you doubt it, I want you to be aware that you are wrong and you are dumb and shut up.
01:57:26.220
I will not blow a no-swear streak on the last day I'm on the air, I promise you, stations.
01:57:33.520
I also, I want to just say that that's my friend you're talking about when you say those things about him.
01:57:49.940
And he survived a lot of things that you'll never know about and he will never tell you about.
01:57:53.560
But I hope, I hope as we go on here, and I'm no longer on the show, that you really do appreciate it.
01:58:04.060
On the other side of this, I want to thank you, the audience of the show.
01:58:09.100
You are the greatest audience that has ever been assembled.
01:58:11.880
Whenever we have an event and you're here and we get together in person, a lot of you say something like, you know, I feel like I know you guys.
01:58:22.660
You know, it's so weird because, you know, you guys are all talking.
01:58:28.500
And then on the other side of this, like, you don't know me at all.
01:58:36.620
I mean, most of you that will never meet, most of you will never call, most of you will never send a message on social media or anything like that.
01:58:44.860
You'll hear our voice and it kind of feels like a one-way relationship.
01:58:50.860
But I want to give you a little bit of perspective from my side after 28 years.
01:58:56.500
The truth of all of this is that you mean way more to us than we mean to you.
01:59:09.940
I mean, if we're extraordinarily lucky, maybe we say something that makes you laugh or maybe we say something that helps you with a little ammunition and an argument with one of your stupid friends.
01:59:20.540
You know, maybe you get a little perspective from us for, you know, once in a while.
01:59:29.360
But you might not know this, but you've changed my life completely.
01:59:35.820
Every time I've interacted with you, almost without fail, you've been kind and smart and funny and willing to do anything for this country to make it a better place for everyone, including my children.
01:59:56.840
Sometimes they're going to be around living in this country that you're spending all this time and effort trying to save.
02:00:07.700
And it's also not an exaggeration that you have literally saved tens of thousands of lives.
02:00:17.020
That sounds like such a ridiculous thing to say about a radio audience.
02:00:25.060
People in Afghanistan running from the Taliban.
02:00:28.200
People who had their lives completely destroyed because of a hurricane or a tornado.
02:00:35.000
A woman in Canada who was on the verge of willingly committing suicide.
02:00:42.200
We told you that story and you stepped up and you saved her life.
02:00:59.100
All I can say, honestly, to the entire audience is thank you.
02:01:06.580
Thank you for laughing when I make fun of Glenn.
02:01:10.440
And thank you for caring so much about the people and the country around you.
02:01:49.920
But here's what I would like to leave you with today.
02:01:53.120
Because this is all deeply personal to us and probably not so personal to you.
02:02:09.800
Everything I once thought that was really, really important.
02:02:17.240
And I want to leave you with something that you can take from this show.
02:02:21.300
In my 20s, I really believed that fame and fortune was the point.
02:02:32.820
And in my 20s and in my teens, I put that above absolutely everything else.
02:02:37.760
And I leased happiness or what I thought happiness was until the leases expired.
02:02:43.780
And I was left with nothing except wasted time and wrong answers.
02:02:49.020
Because of the men sitting in this room, Jeffy, Stu, Pat, I know what matters.
02:03:13.920
Family, real friends, how much you can share with somebody.
02:03:29.900
My dad used to say, if you're lucky, son, you will have one or two
02:03:39.880
who will stay through the good times and the bad
02:04:18.380
who really don't know what life is all about yet
02:04:59.860
to ignore the stones that are being thrown your way
02:06:10.180
and I probably would have fired Stu preemptively
02:06:51.500
better sleep doesn't just mean feeling less tired
