When today's guest was 10, he escaped with his family, a war-torn Iran.
00:00:17.720
He worked his way up the corporate ladder after leaving the military.
00:00:21.120
I think he was one of the first employees or only employees that joined a firm,
00:00:28.020
He became a financial advisor, then an author, multi-millionaire CEO.
00:00:38.420
Nothing better than being a new American and owning a share of Babe Ruth's former home team.
00:00:46.220
His journey is just another example that the American dream is alive and well,
00:00:52.480
even though we seem to be sliding more quickly in demise.
00:00:56.520
Some people choose to still believe in America, and they are writing incredible stories.
00:01:07.540
He made himself into an honest-to-God entrepreneur.
00:01:20.240
That's a pretty good description of what motivates today's guest.
00:01:23.480
For example, he also founded a Valuetainment, a media outlet with how-to videos for everyone,
00:01:31.040
from possible entrepreneurs to future world leaders.
00:01:37.180
His first viral moment was his video, The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Seconds.
00:01:42.840
Then he has published a handful of books devoted to finding happiness.
00:01:46.900
His latest is Choose Your Enemies Wisely, and it dives into the gritty realities that come with being successful.
00:01:56.520
He also hosts the PBD podcast, which ranks at the top of the Spotify business podcast category.
00:02:03.760
He has had guests Kobe Bryant, Kevin Hart, George W. Bush, Magic Johnson, Jordan Peterson.
00:02:20.780
We may not know what comes from the treacherous path our leaders in D.C. are taking us on.
00:02:26.760
But today's guest has made it his mission to reveal the path to success, however bad times become.
00:02:35.140
Today's guest on the Glenn Beck Program, Patrick Bett David.
00:02:40.200
Before we get to Patrick, let me just talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.
00:02:45.300
Eden Pure takes all the odors out of your house.
00:02:48.140
Have you ever walked into a house and you're like, whoa, they cook something funky?
00:03:01.600
If you'd like to get rid of all of those smells from your house, do it with the Eden Pure Thunderstorm Air Purifier.
00:03:14.520
Whether it's cigarette smoke, cooking, litter box, trash cans, mildew, it doesn't matter.
00:03:20.460
The thunderstorm is going to knock it out for you.
00:03:22.660
Starts working in seconds to clear a room of smells.
00:03:27.580
It is not something that is adding scent to the room.
00:03:34.700
Over 350,000 thunderstorm units have been sold so far.
00:03:39.840
They have thousands of five-star reviews online.
00:03:44.780
The house, I hate to say that it doesn't smell like anything.
00:03:50.860
It smells good, but there's no other smell in there.
00:03:55.380
It's not like, okay, I know what you had for dinner last night.
00:03:59.400
This week, they're running an amazing special you're not going to want to miss.
00:04:02.500
Right now, you can save $200 on three thunderstorms for whole home protection.
00:04:35.500
I'm so excited for this podcast because I could go anywhere with you.
00:04:38.940
But I want to start for people who may not know your history.
00:05:12.000
I mean, this whole thing you hear about Mad, bad, hombre, call.
00:05:22.260
It was, you know, uncertain times, windows being taped up because the bombing.
00:05:28.100
One day we got bombed 160 times in Tehran when I lived there.
00:05:38.080
Well, not necessarily because we were Christian.
00:05:40.720
It was, you didn't talk about your religion in Iran.
00:05:44.940
It wasn't something where you're saying, here's what I am.
00:05:46.680
You kind of kept it to yourself and you're saying, like, I'm thinking about what I am.
00:05:52.100
No, but it was a messy, it was a very messy, unstable time for a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-year-old kid to go through.
00:06:05.220
To me, have you read Elon Musk's recent book that came out?
00:06:13.180
His dad is a very important character in his life.
00:06:20.540
No relationship, nothing going on, but the number one driver.
00:06:24.840
I think the chaos made me do better in business and in the military.
00:06:32.600
The fact that I was in Iran and it was constant chaos, family, marriage, parents, politics, war, religion, moving, finances.
00:06:46.500
So, when you go through that for as long as you do, you either have PTSD and you have these symptoms that you deal with, or you almost have to be in that forever.
00:06:59.480
Because anything that's too peaceful is not your comfort zone.
00:07:05.740
So, when you say this, I think, first person I think of is Donald Trump.
00:07:09.720
The guy thrives in chaos and creates most of it, right?
00:07:14.600
Yeah, and that's why he will be one of the characters, if not the character that they will write about the most, they will make the most movies about, they will criticize the most.
00:07:27.540
He'll be at the top because those two go hand in hand, right?
00:07:30.160
If you're chaotic, if you constantly need a war, you constantly need a new enemy, the whole concept of this new book that I'm writing, Choose Your Enemies Wisely, it's, he always needs an enemy.
00:07:45.200
I mean, I remember watching you back in the days, the first time you and I met, you had come down to Beverly Hills Hilton.
00:07:54.900
You said, what do you think is a problem with America?
00:07:56.580
And I remember vividly what I told you because I gave you Ronald Reagan's cufflinks, the gold cufflinks from the library.
00:08:02.000
And then I said to you, I said, I think the white man has forgotten how amazing their country is and they got to do something about it.
00:08:08.600
And this is when you were going through your project, four E's, entrepreneurship, enlightenment, empowerment, and I think it's education or something like that.
00:08:31.400
Somebody calls me and I go to New York with my wife on your show.
00:08:39.480
And by the way, you even did a voiceover audio about saving America with KRLA, if you remember back in the days with KRLA.
00:08:46.940
But anyways, you know, to me, you know, those who do well, typically for the most part, they choose the right enemies and they don't mind the chaotic environment.
00:08:58.460
Like, you know, startup, when you're hiring somebody, when you're starting a company, one of the first questions I ask is, you ever worked in a startup before?
00:09:20.160
Maybe in your mind, it's always chaotic and you're trying to find some peace and you'll find peace in your own way.
00:09:26.200
But yeah, I see it as an edge, as an advantage.
00:09:28.680
So tell me, choosing your enemies, I grew up in an alcoholic family, so very unstable, and I don't like conflict, but I find myself in conflict, but I don't go searching for it.
00:09:43.240
I don't go, I mean, now, now I kind of, I wear it as a badge of honor.
00:09:52.980
Now you can kind of judge people a little bit on who their enemy is.
00:09:56.960
But I, I, I, I, I liked being liked by everybody and I'm not.
00:10:07.380
You sure like that was your deal because the, the guy, so I'm the fan.
00:10:11.900
I'm the one that follows you, not the other way around, right?
00:10:18.060
And, you know, maybe it's a strange relationship we have internally where we want to be to find peace.
00:10:28.520
But then at the same time, whether we like it or not, we attract it.
00:10:33.220
You know, some personalities, you know, like my, my, I have four kids.
00:10:38.040
One of them never has issues that come up with them because he doesn't attract it.
00:10:44.000
His personality is the kind of guy that you won't ever mess with him, but you'll like him and you want to be around him.
00:10:58.340
It kind of comes with your, I think, but I think there's a difference because you're like this.
00:11:03.160
You are, some of my producers are like, are you ready?
00:11:06.840
And I'm like, yeah, we're going to have a great conversation.
00:11:12.680
There's a difference between being frank, being very clear on what you believe is true.
00:11:36.720
This is coming from the guy that would do the boards.
00:11:39.400
You would draw the stuff and you would go through.
00:11:44.600
And you, by the way, you were by far the best teacher on TV.
00:11:53.620
Some are very entertaining, but they can't go deep.
00:11:58.260
When I watch and like, and this person is tied to this person and that person is tied to this person.
00:12:03.660
Everything you talked about, you know, after that episode, you just pissed a bunch of people off.
00:12:20.880
Maybe it's the fact that you love your country because you collect these old pictures or autographs or whatever books you have.
00:12:29.280
Maybe that's how much appreciation you have for this country.
00:12:32.640
Why you like a guy like David Barton because he teaches history in the way that he does.
00:12:42.420
And that, there's got to be a reason for it inside.
00:12:49.860
So when you say choose your enemies wisely, what do you mean by that?
00:12:59.080
We have, I can give it to you in the last, you know, 12, 24 months.
00:13:05.140
So Disney chooses conservative audience as the enemy, forgetting who their number one customer is, parents.
00:13:15.220
And they make woke ideology, a small sect, less than 1%.
00:13:22.780
And they realize after choosing that enemy, that was the wrong enemy.
00:13:26.940
Their market cap goes down $195 billion in one year.
00:13:32.140
56% they lose in one year under Bob Iger, one of the greatest executives we've had the last 40 years.
00:13:39.880
If you've never read the book, Right of a Lifetime, the guy is one of a kind.
00:13:46.460
His last run, like he had to step away, shape, pick, all that stuff.
00:13:51.480
Blockbuster chose the wrong enemy because Blockbuster didn't choose any enemies.
00:13:58.260
They thought no one's going to do anything to us.
00:14:00.060
Let us keep these over, you know, the late fees to our customers.
00:14:09.780
Republicans chose the wrong issue as the enemy right before midterms in 2022.
00:14:14.980
They thought abortion was the number one issue to go through.
00:14:20.060
If there was a red wave, McCarthy's still the Speaker of the House.
00:14:23.260
So they chose the wrong enemy, whether that's McConnell's doing or others who know.
00:14:28.000
Before you go off of the Republicans choosing the enemy, I think the Republican Party has
00:14:34.400
chosen the wrong enemy because they go against their base.
00:14:39.160
They go against a lot of the people who are saying, hey, I love the Constitution.
00:14:45.000
What do you say we rein some of this crap in and be a constitutional republic?
00:14:54.960
Arrogance, believing the crap that they shovel every day, not really living in the space
00:15:15.940
I don't think you're talking about Republican republic.
00:15:27.080
I think Republicans, I think three communities are ruining America, if you ask me.
00:15:31.560
I think it's the tolerant Christians, it's the do your thing libertarians, and you can talk
00:15:39.780
about the rich Republicans that don't tell anybody we're Republicans, baby, because their
00:15:45.200
Those three communities are destroying America, destroying America.
00:15:49.920
One of my most uncomfortable interviews I ever did, I'm in Chicago, and I'm talking to Mike
00:15:56.760
I'm more of a post-game interview guy more than the game.
00:16:00.520
I have consumed more Mike Ditka post-game interviews than I have consumed him actually
00:16:08.480
So, when you would watch him and say, here's a quarter, buddy, go talk to somebody that
00:16:21.840
And he was tough, and him and buddy Ryan, and they finally won, one of the greatest Titans
00:16:28.120
One of the best documentaries ever is, I think it's the 84, 85 Bears.
00:16:32.020
And I'm interviewing him, and I ask him about Colin Kaepernick, because at that time
00:16:35.380
I think he got fired from ESPN, and I noticed he started apologizing.
00:16:46.600
Don't second guess yourself, because they're louder, and they make you seem like they're
00:16:51.460
You know when a community comes and screams, like you get into a street fight, and a guy
00:16:56.000
tells you, I'm going to call my friends, and I'm part of a gang, and they're going
00:17:01.080
to come and whoop your ass, and you say, you do the following, and you say, call them
00:17:06.040
You have a 50-50 shot of getting your ass whooped.
00:17:09.200
Because if he does have those friends, you're getting destroyed.
00:17:13.600
But if all of a sudden his eyes flinch, guess what?
00:17:18.500
American conservatives are thinking these ideas have such a big backing, but they don't.
00:17:24.560
They have fooled you, and your backbone is like, well, what if this, and what if that,
00:17:30.460
We have to kind of be proud of being an American, proud of the Constitution, proud of what this
00:17:36.400
country has done, proud of what it's produced, proud of the fact that it's produced jobs for
00:17:40.640
other countries that are benefiting from the technology that our guys have produced and
00:17:46.280
And we have to go back to the right hero-making machine, recognizing the right heroes.
00:17:54.740
If we don't get our act together, this next generation is going to be so confused.
00:18:02.120
They don't have an idea who to look up to today.
00:18:03.740
So we have to kind of take the time out, step back, hey, we've been a great organization
00:18:11.440
We won for a long time, decade after decade after decade.
00:18:15.920
Now, we fell for the trap of, you know, when the Ford organization were suing the founder,
00:18:24.720
and the grandkids, and some of the kids, the relatives were saying, the founder doesn't
00:18:31.680
They're suing this guy, they're in court, and they're saying, do you know that car,
00:18:39.280
Do you know what kind of, I don't, do you know what this part is, I don't, and finally
00:18:42.520
he says, listen, you can ask me as many questions as you want.
00:18:48.340
I can press any button and get an answer within seconds.
00:18:54.580
But sometimes we're sitting there, we're like, we're bullying the guy that started a company,
00:18:58.620
we're bullying the people that created this incredible country, this idea,
00:19:01.680
we're benefiting from, and we're apologizing for them.
00:19:06.500
This apologizing stuff has to end, and we have to stand up and say, hey, whatever your
00:19:11.800
country is, we've done a lot of good for yours.
00:19:16.940
This is what we, you cross the line, we have a problem.
00:19:25.520
You cross the line here, you don't have our support, and I'm going to publicly call you
00:19:38.280
How do we, how do we reconcile, um, the thing we, we, we're in a place where we have to
00:19:51.340
We have to learn from the mistakes of the past.
00:19:55.740
You know why people hate us in the Middle East?
00:19:57.880
Because we're lying bastards a lot of the time.
00:20:01.020
We don't torture, but we'll ghost plane you to Saudi Arabia.
00:20:04.460
Well, if I'm, if, if, if I'm, uh, you know, an Egyptian on the street and I know America
00:20:10.420
has put people in the torture, you, you stand for nothing.
00:20:25.780
We have to, however, have an honest conversation about, Hey, what if, where did we really go
00:20:38.660
Have an adult conversation and then say, and by the way, here are all the good things
00:20:47.580
So you're opening up a can of worms for, uh, manipulators and victims to go even deeper
00:20:54.920
and say, see, see, see, I told you, I told you all this time.
00:20:58.340
Now I told you, you have to understand there's a bit of a power play going on as well.
00:21:02.560
And it's Machiavellian and it's gamesmanship and it's the mob.
00:21:07.380
They know how to make the other side act like they're apologizing and always apologetics and
00:21:15.360
Before you, before you say it, the medical community has no credibility with me.
00:21:22.520
Scientific community no longer has any credibility between what they do for the global warming to
00:21:29.880
twist the numbers and panic everybody to COVID.
00:21:33.620
All they would have to do is come out and say, okay, this, this, this.
00:21:46.220
There's a difference between accountability and the difference between, um, giving an ounce
00:21:58.680
Cause you know, they're going to use it against you for the rest of your life.
00:22:06.260
Accountability is the same people that wrote the article.
00:22:09.600
We have a loneliness epidemic in America today are the same people that shut this thing
00:22:15.200
So you, you know, now you want to say this, correct.
00:22:19.440
Now you want to talk about how many people you forced to take the vaccine and how many
00:22:22.440
people you divided, how many military personnel came out and now you're begging them to come
00:22:26.600
back and your advertisement says no COVID vaccine required.
00:22:31.360
No, you've lost credibility with those guys, but we have to compartmentalize departments
00:22:48.740
Moving on versus, you know, going on an apology tour and doing all this stuff.
00:22:54.420
Let's when you're America and you're, you're the lead dog, you, you have to have the identity
00:23:00.880
of a lead dog knowing, Hey, you know, there's this video with, what's his name?
00:23:07.360
Christopher Walken, where he tells, it's a scene of a movie where he talks about sometimes
00:23:12.220
a lion is sitting there and they come and, you know, all these guys, I want to bite them
00:23:16.080
and they want to do this and they want to do that.
00:23:17.920
So sometimes the lions just got to get up and remind everybody why he's the king of the
00:23:23.820
America needs to get up and remind the world why we are the king of king of the jungle.
00:23:33.660
Then understand, because this country as a Judeo Christian values that it was founded
00:23:40.040
on, this doesn't mean everybody has to be that we are forgiving.
00:23:47.500
So even though we can destroy your life, we will choose not to.
00:23:50.840
And moving forward, yeah, we have gotten some military things that we've done in the past
00:23:55.740
wrong and $3 trillion for Iraq and we wasted money here and we wasted there.
00:24:03.120
But not from the standpoint of they're using that leverage against us because of this.
00:24:09.860
I think, I think if we come from a place of, did you forget what we did for you when you
00:24:16.840
So there almost needs to be like, you know, a call out of everybody of what we've done
00:24:23.240
And then it's, you want me to kind of dirty your, you know, air your dirty laundry.
00:24:28.900
So if we're going to play this game, it's going to be ugly for you and for everybody.
00:24:32.220
I would much rather us go and, you know, lead the world.
00:24:37.300
We're going to do our part in innovation, in capitalism, in military, in many different
00:24:43.620
We've fallen back in a lot of areas that we've got to get back to, but yeah, I think
00:25:02.300
America chose Trump as the enemy instead of China as the enemy.
00:25:09.620
20, okay, March 14, when they shut down NBA, NHL, when Rudy Gobert gave Donovan Mitchell
00:25:14.600
COVID and Disney, you know, all these guys are shut.
00:25:17.780
So imagine, instead of saying, I'm Nancy Pelosi, I'm going to go to Chinatown.
00:25:27.320
They have a plan called Made in China 2025 to be ahead of us by 2025.
00:25:39.540
Think about if that actually happened, like a 9-11, where we united.
00:25:43.060
9-11, nobody cared if you're a Republican or a Democrat.
00:25:46.960
But because Trump, his personality, there's a part of it that has to do with his wiring
00:25:51.200
as well, because he is so, you know, proud and dominant and alpha and all the stuff that
00:25:59.900
he's got, that, you know, maybe, you know how you have a brother or your sister, and you
00:26:09.020
know you can always get under your brother or your sister's skin?
00:26:11.180
And you could say nine things to get under their skin.
00:26:25.540
But sometimes he feels like he's got to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, 11, 12.
00:26:33.900
I think we can kind of bring that back a little bit.
00:26:40.020
But it's also, I think, in the world stage, why he was successful.
00:26:45.900
I mean, because he was not afraid to say what he was thinking, not afraid to look a dictator
00:26:54.840
in the face and go, I might send missiles your way, or I could be your pal.
00:27:00.380
He had that twitchy eye kind of thing that I always wanted from the president, not for
00:27:13.260
That part, that area, I don't mind that at all.
00:27:45.560
He's not a Reagan, and he'll never be a Reagan.
00:27:47.740
We all constantly go back to a Reagan, and we'll talk about how he was and how, you know,
00:27:51.260
his storytelling and comedy and how he was able to get Gorbachev to do what he does.
00:27:55.680
I think history is going to write more about Trump than Reagan.
00:27:59.940
It's not about, there's more to write about Trump than there is about Reagan.
00:28:10.100
Trump had a better, the only thing that Reagan had a better career was presidency, politics, and governor.
00:28:17.880
But they're two different animals to compare them to each other.
00:28:23.260
Very different game that you have against each other.
00:28:24.960
But, yeah, I think we need to get back to that.
00:28:27.800
You know, today, you know, it's like you go to a bar, and you've been going to this bar for 20 years,
00:28:37.600
Well, you've heard rumors about the fact that that guy's done some stuff in the past.
00:28:41.800
So when a fight breaks out, and it's about to be a brawl in a bar with 100 people,
00:28:58.380
That guy in the corner in the bar is a guy named Joe Biden.
00:29:07.640
Fight continues, and even more, because they don't fear anybody.
00:29:11.520
There's three things a great father's got to bring to his kids.
00:29:22.080
There's two things a president's got to bring to his enemies, respect and fear.
00:29:27.600
If your country loves you, bonus, but you don't have to have the love.
00:29:31.760
But you've got to get the fear and the respect.
00:29:33.960
Unfortunately, the world doesn't respect our president today, and they don't fear him.
00:29:40.220
When there is no fear and respect, bullies and tyrants show up.
00:29:44.720
It's a perfect market right now for tyrants and bullies, and we're seeing it everywhere.
00:29:51.320
Did you know that we see with our brain and not our eyes?
00:29:54.620
Our brain constantly senses what's happening around, and it fills in all kinds of blanks, all right?
00:30:02.000
How and what we see not only depends on the strength of our eyes, but it helps make the brain help us with the optimal decisions, okay?
00:30:15.440
This is why you need as much field and peripheral vision as possible, the widest field you can get.
00:30:25.160
Almost half of our brain's capacity and 25% of our energy every day is dedicated to our sight and visual perception.
00:30:34.460

Seamless visual experience, visual acuity like you've never experienced since wearing glasses.

00:31:34.860
But they're, you know, the guy that's loud, you know, you, you, for example, my dad and my mom,
00:31:54.500
And there was this one aunt we had, and I would be at the house, and my dad doesn't come home till 8, 8.30,
00:32:01.800
and she would come in and she would say stuff like this to my mom.
00:32:16.800
You know what other women are doing like you that are beautiful like you?
00:32:23.700
As a seven-year-old kid, I'm sitting there watching.
00:32:26.780
They don't know I'm watching, but you know kids were paying attention.
00:32:31.240
And when my dad would come home, the fight would start.
00:32:35.660
When the fight would start, and my dad doesn't know where this fight came from.
00:32:46.640
That is an element of a proxy war that leads to a divorce, right?
00:32:52.560
A lot of that in America today of faces we don't know.
00:32:55.320
These are faceless proxy war, you know, puppet masters that you think you and I know.
00:33:02.880
These are the guys that come into the room, stand like this.
00:33:07.900
But behind closed doors, they're just going like this.
00:33:16.840
Because when you're dividing and people are distracted and you're calm,
00:33:20.220
you can come in and take this and take this and take this and nobody notices you.
00:33:24.820
When everybody else is in fear and you're calm, you can get a lot done.
00:33:38.840
Selling the dream, selling America, selling hope, selling history, re-reminding people what we've done.
00:33:45.220
You know, what's a therapist or psychologist do when a husband and wife are about to go through a divorce?
00:33:49.600
Sits him down and says, okay, tell me the best time you've ever had with your wife.
00:33:58.640
And you're like, oh, I would say, and then they both at the same time say, Italy, 1999.
00:34:09.920
And they look and they give that, the smile they don't want to give that they give to each other.
00:34:30.980
What did you, like, did you learn the language?
00:34:36.140
And the more detail comes out, and like, how about another trip?
00:34:43.820
What was the hardest thing you guys ever overcame together?
00:34:46.080
When our kid had cancer at two years old, that was a tough time for about a year.
00:34:53.340
And then you see this evolution take place and say, look, guys, what do you want to do now?
00:35:01.740
We're not reminding of the times we led and we won and we overcame.
00:35:11.520
Can you imagine you go to a therapist and the therapist says, tell me the last time he did this to you.
00:35:23.920
You're expediting the process of getting the divorce done.
00:35:26.420
And she's going to want the frequent flyer miles.
00:35:29.680
The media today has been the second divorce attorney versus the divorce attorney that wants to find a therapist that wants to get them together versus being a divorce attorney.
00:35:40.540
Divorce attorneys right now are trying to get America to go through a divorce.
00:35:43.060
And in order to kind of try to see if we can rekindle this, we have to go back to moments where we got along.
00:35:54.460
We have to go back to moments when Martin Luther King gets shot and the first person that gets up to give the speech is a guy named RFK.
00:36:03.480
And the reaction in the audience, I'm getting the chills right now.
00:36:07.440
And then he says, I can also feel the pain you're having because my brother was also killed and he was killed by a white man.
00:36:19.380
And we're like, how do you come up with a speech like that you write or MLK gets up and he gives the I have a dream and crumbles the thing and throws it away.
00:36:29.420
And that speech was saved by the guy from the movie Air.
00:36:33.080
You know, I mean, there's so many things to this incredible history.
00:36:36.680
The generals we've had, the leaders we've had, the things we've overcome, the people we've helped, the countries we've helped.
00:36:43.480
So how do you I can see us doing that with people our age, my age or your age.
00:36:48.600
But how do you do that with kids who were born after September 11th?
00:37:04.480
To me, with that part, one of the best things that COVID did that's bad for liberals, terrible for liberals, is, you know, these companies like you can work from home for the rest of your life.
00:37:19.600
Oh, shit, then I'm moving out of San Francisco.
00:37:21.500
I'm not going to pay the taxes in San Francisco.
00:37:26.780
Stay here, but you can work from home in San Francisco.
00:37:31.780
I'm going to go to Texas and get a place in Frisco or Prosper.
00:37:37.700
You know, the other day, Andrew Cuomo was talking about, you know, New York has lost a lot of money.
00:37:44.840
He says, our number one source of tax revenue we got in New York was from rich people.
00:37:54.540
By the way, he was a liberal that a lot of liberals thought he was going to be a president until he was not willing to follow what Schumer and Pelosi and the establishment liberals were telling him.
00:38:10.400
As long as you do what we tell you to do, if Biden doesn't step away, guess what?
00:38:14.820
There's going to be 17 girls coming out and a bunch of things.
00:38:26.020
And some parents are like, whoa, I thought it was harder.
00:38:46.220
And there's this website curriculum that conservative, that all of a sudden naturally started happening.
00:38:53.120
Now, Christian schools, three years ago, four years ago, having a hard time getting people
00:39:01.780
The waiting list to get into Christian private schools right now is insane.
00:39:06.240
They're turning down 4.5 GPA kids because they have so much inventory.
00:39:14.180
So, the big opportunity lies with us right now.
00:39:18.100
Like, when I saw the parents in Glendale protesting against what some of the policies that we're
00:39:22.180
coming out with, and they stood up and they're like, no, we're not going to take this from
00:39:25.800
you, is this is a, it starts off with us making the investments into education with some
00:39:33.060
creative, disruptive ideas coming out to say, hey, you don't need to send your kids there.
00:39:37.180
There's a lot of people that are working on different things with education.
00:39:45.540
But I think that opportunity starts with the education side.
00:39:50.060
When somebody finds a way to say, that's going to be my mission, that's where I'm going to
00:39:55.960
This is like the ripe time for parents to be receptive to something like that.
00:40:00.120
It's got to be duplicatable, easy, streamlined, effective, high content, pre-recorded from teachers
00:40:06.640
that are winners, high expectation, high standards, accountability, creativeness.
00:40:13.380
And maybe a part of the country's got to say, like, you know, today I'm having Jeremy Boring
00:40:20.900
And he had a moment one time in Hollywood where, you know, imagine you were a 12-year-old
00:40:26.700
You're like, your dream is to win an Oscar one day.
00:40:33.040
And the Oscar goes to, and then you role play, saying it hundreds of times.
00:40:45.040
And then one day you realize, these guys don't like me.
00:40:53.140
The moment we realize, why are we so caught up in, gee, you know, getting a high school diploma?
00:41:04.660
I challenge some of the parents in Glendale to go on a strike and take their kids out for one month.
00:41:14.200
And do it at a time where they need it because they need certain grades.
00:41:21.220
And maybe you don't do it with kids above seventh grade.
00:41:23.680
Maybe you do sixth grade or below to kind of get the pain.
00:41:25.800
And say, by the way, we're about to do it with the next grade.
00:41:27.400
And getting people to run for office, like within schools, administration, we have to
00:41:35.320
And the last thing I would tell you, Glenn, is you asked me a question earlier, what am
00:41:40.580
I going to be speaking about at, you know, Turning Point USA?
00:41:44.760
I said, I'm already writing a few things, but this is one of the things I'm going to be
00:41:47.400
For the last year and a half, when I talked to anybody that's under 35, I am encouraging
00:41:55.280
Christians, conservatives, to do whatever they can to have a minimum of four kids.
00:42:14.400
Your LDS, your daughter introduced to LDS, 1450, whatever the timeline was, in Vegas,
00:42:18.400
I think that was the timeline that you went through.
00:42:20.920
You know, that model, when I go talk to Christian churches and I say, look at the LDS model.
00:42:27.120
You can say whatever you want, but this Gordon B. Hinckley, the virtues, the way they're
00:42:30.580
raising the kids, the way they're teaching them how to speak, the way they're sending
00:42:34.940
What if we get conservatives to start having four kids?
00:42:37.840
Because if they don't, it's competition of religion today.
00:42:43.280
I have to tell you, I'm a guy who didn't want a big family.
00:42:48.960
I wish, and I mean this sincerely, I wish I had 10.
00:42:53.780
It's a pain in the ass that you think you're never going to make it out alive, but it is
00:43:06.500
When you grow up enough to get past all the bull crap that you've got going inside, you
00:43:21.820
I've got so much to talk to you about, and we haven't talked about hardly any of it.
00:43:28.560
Um, I just saw that you, you sold, uh, the, uh, Wayne Gretzky hockey card.
00:43:41.500
I, I love baseball cards and I like vintage baseball cards like 33 Gowdy, Babe Ruth, PSA
00:43:53.600
I like Joe DiMaggio's rookie card, Ted Williams' rookie card.
00:43:56.740
What's the, what's the best, what's the one that you say?
00:44:00.920
When I look at it, which one gets me, let me tell you, you know, as if you're a baseball
00:44:04.500
card guy, when you hold it, I'm 12 years old, I'm 13 years old, you know, I'd probably
00:44:08.800
say Babe Ruth because Babe to me, you know, it's gotta be Babe.
00:44:13.240
When I hold the Babe Ruth card and I'm looking at it, you know, yesterday I was talking to Ken
00:44:16.240
Griffey and I'm like, Ken, do you realize I own 75 of your PSA 1089 upper deck card?
00:44:21.840
And I gave one of them to my son on September 24th as a gift.
00:44:26.520
You would see Griffey's beautiful, you know, left-handed swing that he had.
00:44:35.400
So when the guy called me telling me, Hey, I got two of Gretzky's Holy Grail cards.
00:44:53.040
A year and a half later, I sold it for 2.2 million.
00:44:55.680
But I'm not a, I'm not a, I've interviewed Gretzky, but I'm more baseball.
00:45:00.200
What's it feel like to be part owner of the Yankees, especially as an immigrant?
00:45:16.920
I mean, you got, if you had, if you interviewed my friends from high school, they would tell
00:45:21.340
you, we remember when Pat was partying until four o'clock in the morning, one night at
00:45:26.320
a, my sister's apartment complex in Burbank, and they stole my Toyota Corolla 83.
00:45:32.580
And I'm calling my dad saying, I want to go to the recruiting station.
00:45:36.860
I quit Burger King that I'm working in Glendale.
00:45:38.580
I got four W's from Glendale Community College.
00:45:42.440
I said, listen, if you can get me in tomorrow, I'm signing up.
00:45:48.980
Two weeks later, I'm at Fort Jackson, Carolina, South Carolina, joining the army.
00:46:04.120
And because I, you know, I had more time there.
00:46:05.740
But yeah, when you go to the Yankee Stadium and they give you a tour and you're meeting
00:46:11.380
with Steinbrenner family and they're sitting there, I said, guys, listen, I know MLB already
00:46:18.940
I just want to let you know, I'm loud and I have strong opinions.
00:46:32.540
And then he says, there's only one rule we follow.
00:46:45.860
I'm just a rich cheerleader owner in the company.
00:47:11.980
These children that are being aborted are not being aborted, generally speaking, by evil
00:47:22.360
They are being aborted by women who feel backed into a corner like they have no other choice
00:47:28.940
or they believe in the lie that it's not really a child.
00:47:33.100
But until you see the ultrasound, until you hear the baby's heartbeat, a lot of women can
00:47:42.340
You double the chances of a child being born and mom saying, I choose life when she hears
00:47:51.920
But they also, also, take care of mom and child.
00:47:56.860
Help take care of them with pre-natal care and then post-care for up to two years.
00:48:03.380
Please, be a part of this ministry that stands in the gap for life.
00:48:07.220
When you support pre-born, you support women and you empower them.
00:48:11.780
Your donation of 28 bucks will help make a woman's choice for life.
00:48:24.400
Keyword baby, pound 250, or preborn.com slash Glenn.
00:48:35.940
Most people have no idea that there's an invisible gap in their home's protection.
00:48:40.640
You think, oh, well, my home title, I had that check.
00:48:49.980
This is why they do a title check to make sure it's free and clear.
00:48:54.720
If somebody swoops in, you're not going to know it either until you sell your house
00:48:59.360
or until the sheriff comes knocking at the door because you haven't been making the payments

So I had the crown prince Reza Pallavi on two weeks ago and we did a it's the first time
00:49:59.520
I think Iran is not going to change for a while unless there's two pieces.
00:50:07.080
China's got the 25 year 400 billion dollar contract.
00:50:09.440
And, you know, China and Russia that that that we lost Iran when they got in there and
00:50:17.440
If Biden wouldn't have lifted it, it wouldn't have been pretty bad for them where they were
00:50:20.960
going to experience something of fault because the people were sick of it.
00:50:24.120
I think the person that plays a very important role with Iran is MBS.
00:50:30.040
This guy's a 25 billion dollar guy, 38 years old.
00:50:33.520
Forbes recognized him as top 10, you know, most powerful people in the Middle East and
00:50:47.380
He actually called out Muslim about how they were.
00:50:50.220
He even got rid of some party that was going around arresting people for what they were
00:50:54.660
It's like, no, we're not going to be doing that.
00:50:56.460
And he just recruited Ronaldo for 200 million a year.
00:51:00.660
He was given Messi 25 million a year to be an ambassador.
00:51:03.920
You know, Greg Norman and these guys went and brought live to Saudi Arabia golf over there.
00:51:12.420
They got enough supply of oil for God knows how many years.
00:51:15.340
A long time, 200 years or so, even though the world's 46 million, they have it for them
00:51:23.100
So if he wants to make Saudi Arabia into a place where you and I, what are you doing this
00:51:29.260
I'm going to take the wife and the kids to Saudi Arabia.
00:51:31.720
Because that's what people said in the 70s when they went to Iran.
00:51:35.600
If he wants to do that, you could live in a 40,000 square foot home with nice rides, swimming
00:51:42.180
pool, indoor, outdoor, golf course, gym, everything.
00:51:46.080
But if your neighbors are criminals and murderers and killers, I don't care how beautiful your
00:51:56.580
So if he wants to get Saudi to compete versus Europe, 87% of his GDP is still oil.
00:52:03.900
That is too reliant on oil and it's problematic.
00:52:07.400
If nuclear energy takes off the way we are in the U.S. and we make the right investment
00:52:18.980
To do that, he's got to broker deals with Israel.
00:52:21.320
He's got to help somebody to change the regime in Iran.
00:52:25.000
He's got to make the surrounding people more calm and he can do it because he's got something
00:52:33.280
So I think the number one domino is MBS to change stuff in Iran.
00:52:43.420
Your reaction to the anti-Semitism that's happening right now.
00:53:06.300
You know, well, they killed 400 civilians and they raped and they did this, this.
00:53:12.040
And then Muslims will say, well, which season are you on?
00:53:16.920
Because this is season 11 of what Israel's done to Hamas and Palestine.
00:53:21.660
And they killed 11,000 people, give or take, but only 60 Hamas members.
00:53:29.900
Musk says for every Palestinian kid you kill, you create a Hamas member.
00:53:37.020
Israel didn't know what Mossad being the number one secret intelligence that those guys were coming in.
00:53:42.260
Did you need that to be able to retaliate and attack them?
00:53:46.620
I have so many questions that I don't have the intel to make an educated decision.
00:53:53.920
They know what concept of CIA knew what Israel, they knew this stuff.
00:54:02.320
I think there's way too many things that prompts questions for me.
00:54:07.500
I want to make sure that I give you the opportunity to be clear.
00:54:21.260
No, when people go into that argument and they're like, well, what about this and what about that and what about this?
00:54:37.280
Israel has 300,000 soldiers, of which 100,000 of it I think is reserves.
00:54:52.860
He doesn't have the open playing field to go out there and do what he wants.
00:54:58.460
And, you know, but for me, when it comes down to Hamas, for some of the guys that are apologizing for that, I have way too many questions.
00:55:09.000
I saw what they did to my mom, which is walking in the street and a little bit of hair is showing and they would stop and I'm like getting anxiety just seeing what they're about to do to my mom.
00:55:16.780
And then, boom, we'd run off and go to a store and the family would protect my mom and we'd come in.
00:55:21.780
Yeah, so I don't have any tolerance for that type of behavior at all.
00:55:25.740
Now, because I keep getting waved and I've got at least 30 minutes more to do with you, quick your thought on Elon Musk.
00:55:43.080
And he's an unpredictable guy, yet predictable.
00:55:54.740
He got the money stuff when he bought the P1 when he got his first million and, you know, he did what he did.
00:56:01.640
This guy put his career and his business ahead of everything else he was doing to the point where he's like,
00:56:06.940
I can't even be married having kids because I'm not going to be a great father because my babies are, you know, Neuralink and Tesla and all this other stuff.
00:56:17.780
You choose to buy a company that's in shambles for $44 billion and you're a rock star.
00:56:25.520
You're an Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. playing you, the real life Iron Man.
00:56:39.380
One thing you say, you got 150 million followers.
00:56:41.560
And then you said, yeah, if we want to save America, we have to vote Republican.
00:56:56.760
Have you seen this movie Creator that came out?
00:56:59.680
I have been on the bandwagon of fear of AI for quite some time.
00:57:08.200
Creator, I watch and I think, oh, that's kind of a happy story.
00:57:12.000
If you forget about that every tank said United States of America and we were the bad guys, how that's being imaged.
00:57:22.460
And how it's being imaged that it's wonderful and genuine and real and will connect us.
00:57:32.780
There is also the real possibility that it is our superior and we become ants.
00:57:46.460
I thought everybody needs, I think everybody needs to go watch, don't waste your money with Napoleon.
00:57:55.420
You'll experience every emotion you should in a movie.
00:57:58.120
But there's a quote in Elon's book, I think it's the last chapter, that says, Elon likes to take the fiction out of science fiction.
00:58:11.060
So this guy wants to have you watch a movie and say, oh, I just watched a science fiction movie.
00:58:20.960
So he, a famous quote back in the days by a German philosopher said, if a lion could speak, we could not understand them.
00:58:31.940
And we don't have to fully understand every time a lion opens their mouth.
00:58:38.480
But it's good to be 80% optimistic, 20% skeptical and say, okay, we'll see.
00:58:47.340
The we'll see lens of staying a little paranoid.
00:59:02.460
I mean, the gradual way they did it during COVID where you needed a COVID passport to go around.
00:59:09.780
It accelerated the process by years, maybe decades on what it did.
00:59:14.120
And more and more people are starting to be receptive to it.
00:59:20.280
So imagine like a picture perfect argument for me to give you to move to CBDC.
00:59:27.580
Here's a guy that was the JP Morgan chase of our lifetime, according to Jim Cramer.
00:59:32.820
He's going to jail for this, this, that, $33 billion company.
00:59:39.940
Yeah, but, you know, CZ from, you know, Binance, he's a good guy.
00:59:45.840
CZ, are you okay with CZ from Binance allowing terrorists to, you know, move money around?
00:59:53.040
This is exactly why we need to regulate and not decentralize.
00:59:58.780
They have, it's being served like this to scare the hell out of the, you know, the consumer to say, this is why we're here.
01:00:17.280
So, look, do I think it's going to happen in the next 12, 24 months?
01:00:23.540
It's just, they need the next crisis to accelerate the process.
01:00:27.540
And that could end up being power grid because it's power grid is something a lot of people are not talking about.
01:00:33.040
The power grid, 75% of our power grid in America hasn't been updated or touched for 25 years.
01:00:40.980
You know what happens if somebody, by the way, our security council from the U.S. government says China, Russia, and other countries have the ability to destroy into our, wait, what?
01:00:51.440
And how much investment do we make out of the $1.6 trillion into this?
01:01:03.100
No, I'm, I'm, so there's a lot of things to be cautious about.
01:01:24.720
