00:03:49.800 800, the number four, RELIEF.
00:03:55.040 So yesterday, Thomas Massey said he's going to bring articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth
00:04:00.680 when Congress returns.
00:04:02.380 They're doing it today.
00:04:03.920 I'm so excited for that return of Congress because they're doing all the important stuff, right?
00:04:09.060 reporter asked yesterday are you still going to impeach him he said if he's still
00:04:16.420 sec deaf he's already told the president you should fire um uh hegseth um and he calls he 0.54
00:04:25.960 says what i'm going to do to him is a gentler version of what's coming when the democrats 0.69
00:04:29.660 take the house and the senate in january fine let the democrats do it fine whatever
00:04:35.380 Hakeem Jeffries said they're going to run Hegseth out of town.
00:04:38.080 That's right.
00:04:39.380 Senate Democrats suggest his head is the price for the votes on the defense bill.
00:04:44.420 So what is the charge?
00:04:45.880 What's the charge that Massey is making?
00:04:48.120 Okay, three of Massey's eight articles are about the war with Iran.
00:04:53.280 The other is about Yemen.
00:04:55.180 Another one is about Venezuela and the capture of Madura.
00:04:58.460 Now, who made those decisions?
00:04:59.780 Pete Hegseth?
00:05:00.980 No, the president and the commander-in-chief. 0.97
00:05:03.580 you know, the guy who has been calling Massey a loser. Why? Because Massey has come out against 0.87
00:05:11.780 everything the president has done with the Secretary of War. But Hegseth carried his
00:05:17.140 orders out. That's the job. You see, we have a civilian-led military. One civilian was elected,
00:05:24.200 the other was confirmed, and now is confirmed to execute the president's orders. If you believe
00:05:31.480 the president waged an illegal war, then your argument is with the president, Thomas. Going
00:05:37.420 after the man who took the order is a way to have the fight without owning it. And Congress, by the
00:05:43.900 way, and you had your chances. You know, his own resolution to end the war failed in March. And
00:05:50.800 then he was like, I got to do it again and failed a second time. And then I got to do it again. And
00:05:55.680 It failed a third time. In June, one finally passed by seven votes in the House and two in
00:06:01.900 the Senate. But here's the thing. It was a concurrent resolution. I speak Washington
00:06:07.460 bullcrap, so you don't have to. Let me translate. A concurrent resolution means it never goes to the 0.98
00:06:13.880 president's desk. He never signs it. He doesn't have to veto it. It's not a law. And the Supreme
00:06:19.640 court ruled in 1983 that Congress cannot bind a president that way. Okay. You want to end the war,
00:06:26.900 Thomas? You know how to end it. You can end it. Congress holds the one power that will end 0.83
00:06:32.700 any and every war, the purse strings, the money. Okay. And you've never cut that off.
00:06:41.020 It chose the vote that lets you say you oppose the war without ever having to do anything to
00:06:46.860 Stop it. So brave. So brave of you. Now they want to impeach a man for ignoring a resolution
00:06:54.260 that no one had to obey. Let me tell you, a war that you hate is not a high crime.
00:07:04.940 Bribery is. Treason is. Selling your office is. A policy that Thomas Massey disagrees with
00:07:11.640 is an election issue. You know, my side forgot that in 2024 when we impeached Alejandro Mayercas
00:07:19.380 over the border. His policy was a disaster. That guy was horrible, horrible. The Senate threw it
00:07:26.400 out in an afternoon. Massey's two articles are different. One says the military struck survivors
00:07:34.520 on those drug boats. One says Hegsteth retaliated against Senator Mark Kelly.
00:07:40.540 Okay, those are charges of conduct.
00:07:42.820 Those are not high crimes or misdemeanors.
00:07:44.320 Those are charges of conduct.
00:07:45.720 If there is evidence, bring it.
00:07:48.000 Hearings, sworn testimony, the inspector general, that's what it's all there for.
00:07:53.280 But don't staple two serious charges to six policy fights and call it a stack of crimes, Thomas.
00:07:59.180 That's not evidence.
00:08:00.600 That's packaging.
00:08:03.020 Turan, by the way, is watching.
00:08:05.020 We're at war with them right now.
00:08:08.480 What are they learning? 0.66
00:08:09.880 you don't have to beat an American, you don't have to beat an American army. You just have to
00:08:15.660 win the press over, win Congress over. You know, you just have to defeat the secretary of defense.
00:08:22.320 You just have to win in the polls. And by the way, Thomas, our troops are watching too.
00:08:28.360 A soldier must refuse an order that is plainly unlawful. Must. But he cannot refuse one because
00:08:36.560 it's unpopular. And if the secretary can be removed for carrying out a controversial order,
00:08:42.220 the captain under him learns, I better check the polls before I salute.
00:08:47.280 And no military on earth can fight that way. Now, full disclosure, I have admired Thomas
00:08:53.940 Massey for years. I liked him. I liked him a lot. He voted alone when it cost him. He read the bills.
00:09:02.380 His party told him no.
00:09:04.040 He did it anyway.
00:09:05.340 But something happened to my friend Thomas Massey,
00:09:07.700 and I don't know what it is.
00:09:09.000 I mean, I can suspect, but I don't know what it is.
00:09:12.180 I don't even recognize who he is anymore.
00:09:15.660 Honestly, I don't even recognize him anymore.
00:09:18.060 You put up the old Thomas Massey and the new Thomas Massey
00:09:20.800 along with Coach Beard right next to Coach Beard from Ted Lasso.
00:09:30.120 I mean, it's the same guy.
00:09:31.580 same thing. Honestly, he's an earring and a couple of colored contact lenses away from being Coach
00:09:37.140 Beard on this season's Ted Lasso. So he loses his primary in May. He leaves in January. And this is
00:09:45.940 a vendetta. That's what it is. And he's using every tool in reach, including the ones that belong to
00:09:51.640 the people he spent his career fighting, because he's sure he knows best. Do you, Thomas? Do you?
00:09:58.840 you know what that says to me you've been in the building way too long because that's what that 0.93
00:10:04.280 building does to men they think they know and they're gonna get it and you've become golem
00:10:09.880 you have you're twisted you're bitter you're living in some dark cave i think you're willing
00:10:16.820 to do anything for what you call your precious and your precious is not a ring your precious
00:10:25.040 is you being right. You hate the war. And so you're convinced it has to be stopped because
00:10:33.660 you're right. Well, you want to stop it, you vote on the money. You take it to court,
00:10:38.460 you run against it. That's how a free people argues about war. Never punish the hand for
00:10:44.540 what the head decided. In an army, in your company, in your own house, if you have a quarrel,
00:10:51.540 take it to the one who made the call and say it to that person's face.
00:10:56.960 Congress knows where the president lives. You know where the president lives.
00:11:01.220 You've been fighting him. And when you can't fight him and then he fights you personally,
00:11:05.400 then you get mad and you're like a kid sprawled out on the supermarket floor.
00:11:11.120 No, I'm sorry. You know where the money is. That's in Congress's control. You want to stop
00:11:17.520 the war. That's how you do it. Impeachment. I feel sorry for you, Thomas. I do. I feel sorry 0.95
00:11:24.160 for you. I respected you. A lot of people I know really respected you because you had principles
00:11:30.540 and character. And I don't know what the hell you've done with your principles and character.
00:11:35.320 You don't have to like the war. You don't have to agree with the war. You can fight against the war.
00:11:40.680 But you know exactly how to do it. And this is so far beneath the Thomas Massey that I knew.
00:11:47.520 someday I hope he finds his way back. Not to Washington, but finds his way back to
00:11:53.800 decency and integrity and character. Okay, more in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor
00:11:59.100 this half hour. I've got some good news I want to share with you next. First, let me tell you
00:12:02.420 about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They are doing work that really doesn't 0.98
00:12:07.500 end when the election does. Thank God for that. The distinction matters quite a bit. Right now,
00:12:13.240 a lot of people have spent months treating politics as though they can settle every question
00:12:17.160 of every kind about the country
00:12:18.720 that we're going to be 0.79
00:12:19.700 just by answering the Jew question. 0.96
00:12:23.400 It's crazy. 0.86
00:12:25.200 An election can change who holds office,
00:12:28.480 but it cannot by itself
00:12:30.460 make a Jewish family feel safe
00:12:32.020 walking to a synagogue in our own country. 1.00
00:12:34.140 It can't guarantee that a Jewish student
00:12:36.040 is able to attend class without harassment. 1.00
00:12:39.480 It can't feed an elderly person
00:12:41.280 who's struggling to get by.
00:12:42.600 These are human responsibilities.
00:12:44.460 So forget the election.
00:12:45.540 Let's be humans for a second.
00:12:47.160 This is where the fellowship comes in.
00:12:49.100 They provide food and shelter and emergency assistance
00:12:51.280 to vulnerable Jewish people in Israel and Europe,
00:12:53.960 and here, God forbid, we need it here,
00:12:56.900 wherever people need it most.
00:12:58.640 I want you to consider what it means
00:12:59.900 when Christians refuse to look away
00:13:01.820 from the suffering of their Jewish brothers and sisters.
00:13:05.280 That's historic.
00:13:06.980 That's a message no election result can send for us.
00:13:09.920 We have to send it ourselves, so please.
00:13:11.860 Would you get involved?
00:13:12.980 Go to giveifcj.org.
00:13:15.220 That's one word.
00:13:16.180 giveifcj.org. Do it now. 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:13:31.140 Good news started to arrive three days after the election. Friday, the National Alliance to End
00:13:38.220 Homelessness, I don't know if you heard this, estimated that America's homeless population
00:13:42.860 fell by 6.7% this year. Second straight year of decline. The New York Times ran it. Same morning,
00:13:52.940 the jobs report, 165,000 new jobs, more than double of what economists expected. Employment
00:14:00.180 down 4.1 in September. Census Bureau put the official poverty rate now at 10.2, lowest since
00:14:07.700 they started counting the poverty rate in 1959 and the median household income is now at a record
00:14:15.180 high oh and by the way gas has been falling for the next for the last uh two weeks hmm day after
00:14:22.180 the election oil dropped nearly nine percent in a single day by the way you remember what trump said
00:14:28.680 would happen in september listen to this september 9th he said this cut 15 but right after the
00:14:35.560 election because they'd like to have it that way but right after the election uh oil prices are
00:14:40.460 going to be tumbling downward they're going to be tumbling down and we'll get them down i think for
00:14:45.000 gasoline we'll get them below two dollars a gallon but not until after the midterm i think it's going
00:14:50.320 to take a little bit longer than the midterm yeah it's tumbling down anyway uh and then on thursday
00:14:59.120 night on cnn van jones leaned towards caitlin collins and said with a grin now it can be told
00:15:06.020 There's something he said on Thursday, we talked about a little bit yesterday,
00:15:09.960 called the American Accountability Network.
00:15:12.140 This is tens of thousands of, in his words, online humans, not bots,
00:15:18.340 coordinated to drive the affordability message,
00:15:21.700 tying it to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative.
00:15:25.960 Now, read the numbers from his notes.
00:15:28.380 185 million facebook hits 88 million on x 32.5 million on instagram and then came the line
00:15:38.720 that he had to deliver the republicans never figured out what we were doing
00:15:44.020 wow well let's start with this who are they well their own website calls them an ecosystem of
00:15:53.440 advocates content creators and influencers built to shape political narratives oh
00:15:59.440 propagandist okay past in clients of past clients include uh the afl cio sciu the teachers union
00:16:09.960 move on.org the house democrat campaign committee and joe biden if that's not a list of rogues
00:16:17.000 their president is heather booth who founded the midwest academy academy in 1973 that's a
00:16:23.160 school that has trained more than 25,000 community organizers who once ran training for the
00:16:29.000 Democratic National Committee. This is not a few frustrated moms on Facebook. This is the oldest 0.96
00:16:34.200 school in the professional left plugged into the newest machine. Now, is it illegal? No, it's not.
00:16:40.900 But you thought you were hearing from your neighbor or a mom down the street. You weren't.
00:16:45.740 You were hearing a campaign wearing your neighbor's face. And Jones never said whether
00:16:51.480 of those tens of thousands were paid. But every reporter in America should be asking all this
00:16:57.920 week, if you will, who are these people? Now, you can call it legal, but you cannot call it honest.
00:17:05.600 And watch the word affordability because it's going to go quiet until it will hurt Republicans
00:17:10.940 again. So let's ask the affordability question yourself of the agenda that just won. Les Rubin
00:17:18.020 laid it out in the Federalist yesterday, Washington spent $7.4 trillion last year
00:17:23.880 and took in $5.4 trillion. Now, a Cato Institute study finds the Democratic Socialist wish list
00:17:31.040 would add at least $8 trillion a year in new spending. $8 trillion. Rubin's figures paying
00:17:41.260 for all of it would mean raising taxes 166%. Taxing the rich doesn't even come close, okay?
00:17:48.020 that's the affordability problem.
00:17:51.300 Nobody will be paid to post about that one.
00:17:55.260 But I want to tell you, we've been here exactly here in 1917.
00:17:59.480 Woodrow Wilson takes America into a war that most Americans didn't want.
00:18:04.000 He creates a government office to change their minds.
00:18:07.020 The Committee on Public Information. 0.99
00:18:09.360 Boy, our museum is loaded with crap on these guys. 0.99
00:18:12.440 One of the young men hired is in his mid-20s, 0.99
00:18:15.520 and his uncle is Sigmund Freud.
00:18:18.020 His name was Edward Bernays.
00:18:19.840 He is the father, they say, of modern advertising.
00:18:23.560 The war ends, and Bernays thought, that changes the whole century.
00:18:29.380 What he learns, if you can sell the nation a war, you can sell it anything.
00:18:33.840 The Germans had made the word propaganda filthy.
00:18:37.460 So he stopped calling what we were doing propaganda and called it public relations.
00:18:42.380 In 1928, he writes a book, and he calls it, plainly, Propaganda.
00:18:49.000 Here's the first page.
00:18:50.540 The conscious and intellect manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses
00:18:56.460 is an important element in democratic society.
00:19:02.400 And the people who do it, and this is a quote from the book,
00:19:05.860 constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
00:19:11.480 an invisible government this is woodrow wilson's main guy and he wasn't confessing he was taking
00:19:18.780 clients okay that's that that's what was happening i've told you about the smoking thing i just don't
00:19:25.360 have time to talk about the smoking thing that he did with people but he he is the reason why women
00:19:29.740 started to smoke smoke you know he started it at an easter parade and he changed cigarettes he
00:19:36.300 combined sex with these women in this parade with smoking they hiked up their skirt and in their
00:19:43.340 garter they had a cigarette and they held it up and he had the press all take pictures and he called 0.71
00:19:47.660 those cigarettes torches of freedom so women could be themselves and smoke and cancer followed women 0.65
00:19:54.300 same year Lehman Brothers banker named Paul Mazur wrote a business plan for the next 100 years 0.58
00:20:01.940 quote man's desires can be developed so that they will greatly overshadow his needs
00:20:09.060 bernays wanted to change our country from a nation of needs into a nation of wants
00:20:15.800 and a people run by their wants can be steered by whoever controls the wanting
00:20:21.560 in 1933 foreign correspondent told bernays that hitler's propaganda minister joseph goebbels kept
00:20:28.900 his first book in his library and was using it against the Jews in Germany. And Bernays wrote,
00:20:34.820 wow, that's shocking. And that's it. He kept using those ideas. His ideas never retired.
00:20:40.080 They all got degrees. In 2008, bestseller called Nudge, Cass Sunstein, who was working for Barack
00:20:48.120 Obama, taught that wise people should design your choices so you'll pick whatever they've decided
00:20:54.120 it is best for you.
00:20:55.880 Britain actually opened a government nudge unit. 0.79
00:21:00.880 In 2015, President Obama ordered the federal agencies
00:21:05.280 to apply behavioral science to the people they, quote, serve.
00:21:11.080 Yeah, then came the feed, which studies every second you hold it.
00:21:16.820 And the same confidence that a few enlightened people
00:21:19.820 should quietly decide what the rest of us see,
00:21:21.840 now being written into the rules for machines
00:21:23.840 our grandchildren are going to look to for truth.
00:21:27.340 Okay?
00:21:28.340 This is bad.
00:21:29.960 This is bad.
00:21:31.020 But you have been lied to.
00:21:33.720 You have been lied to.
00:21:41.880 And Van Jones is responsible for this one,
00:21:44.680 at least exposing this one.
00:21:47.700 You know, this machine doesn't care who's driving.
00:21:50.020 CNN, Times, Fox, fascists, communists, death panels, good guys, doesn't matter.
00:21:58.380 The question isn't which channel, it's who's holding the remote.
00:22:02.000 And honestly, it feels like it's too late, but it's not.
00:22:05.600 Because Bernays, the whole craft is built on one weakness.
00:22:09.580 It only works on people who have forgotten what they actually need and who they actually are.
00:22:15.480 It can't sell a family that knows its own budgets.
00:22:20.020 It can't stampede a town where people still talk to each other on the porch.
00:22:24.880 It can't nudge a man who stops and says, wait a minute, wait a minute,
00:22:29.120 who benefits from me being angry today and waits until tomorrow to decide?
00:22:35.160 The man who knows what he needs can't be sold what he wants.
00:22:40.000 So know it.
00:22:41.720 Read your own pay stub, not the post about one.
00:22:45.060 Look at your own groceries receipt.
00:22:47.440 Ask your actual neighbors, the one with a driveway, how he's doing,
00:22:51.320 and teach your kids to ask before they feel anything.
00:22:55.920 Put down the phone long enough to hear your own mind again,
00:22:59.480 because you have to reclaim your own power and your own place.
00:23:05.600 All right, our sponsor of this half hour is American Giant.
00:23:08.280 It's an American-made hoodie.
00:23:10.040 It shouldn't be an unusual thing, but look around at the clothing for sale today,
00:23:14.480 And you'll see how rare it has become to find a company that's actually serious about making
00:23:18.240 things here in America. It's one reason why I really like American Giant and what they're
00:23:22.720 doing. They built their name around well-made clothing and a commitment to better manufacturing.
00:23:28.640 Their hoodies make a really good argument that you don't have to choose between comfort and
00:23:34.380 durability. And the principle of buying American, that comes right along with it. Here's something
00:23:40.820 that is easy to forget when we talk about bringing manufacturing back. It doesn't happen because
00:23:47.020 somebody gives a great speech. It happens when people build factories here, hire workers,
00:23:52.080 make products, and find customers who want these things. It's practical work, and sometimes it
00:23:57.680 looks like a really good sweatshirt. So if you're thinking about Christmas gifts, I want you to
00:24:01.600 consider getting gifts that will actually be worn and not end up just in a closet and then thrown
00:24:07.620 away buy american today at american-giant.com slash glenn save 20 when you use my name it's
00:24:14.360 great for christmas american-giant.com slash glenn coming up john thune wants to keep his job and
00:24:20.700 glenn has something to say about that a lot now might be a good time to check out the esteemed
00:24:25.540 no ball prize at glennbeckshop.com
00:24:28.560 So right now, behind closed doors,
00:24:54.640 the Senate Republicans are picking a leader
00:24:57.660 for their next Congress
00:24:58.980 one name is on the ballot
00:25:01.940 one, one
00:25:03.660 John Thune
00:25:05.580 remember the little song we made about John Thune
00:25:19.680 he walks in big, talks like a king
00:25:21.740 but the room stays cold when it's time to bring
00:25:24.100 He points at the board, then ducks the fight
00:25:26.520 All soup, no spark, and the words all bite
00:25:29.080 He says, I got this, then shifts the blame
00:25:31.620 The same old grin with a different name
00:25:34.180 Say it loud, say it plain
00:25:36.500 You had the chair, but lost the game
00:25:38.940 Too much pose, not enough drive
00:25:41.460 You keep the crowd, but you never arrive 0.67
00:25:44.420 Thune the ball is Rhino
00:25:46.500 You don't get it done
00:25:48.760 Thune the ball is Rhino
00:25:51.400 Thune the ball is Rhino
00:25:53.720 absolutely that's who he is seven days ago seven count them the republicans lost the senate they
00:26:03.580 lost the house they lost at least five senate seats including races in south carolina and texas
00:26:10.420 alaska and mississippi still haven't been called we don't know who that's going to
00:26:14.980 the congress doesn't even know yet who's going to be sitting in the room
00:26:19.280 And the man who led them into that room wants the keys back before the furniture stops moving.
00:26:26.340 There is something diabolical about this.
00:26:29.860 The morning after he passed, the Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment.
00:26:35.540 What? What? Really? That was his postmortem.
00:26:40.460 The leadership, the leadership vote that was set exactly one week after the election.
00:26:46.400 he's like you know what because we put up a good record for losses
00:26:51.260 senator ron johnson noticed he said these elections used to happen on average
00:26:57.420 about 40 days after the voting since 2006 nine days now he's gathered enough signatures under
00:27:06.220 the conference rule to force a meeting and that's what's happening right now and and he wrote that
00:27:10.900 the leadership holding the leadership elections without a big discussion about what happened
00:27:15.540 would be political malpractice you think so mike lee i talked to him last night he was like this is
00:27:23.140 insane glenn rick scott john kennedy dave mccormick all want to slow it down if he's elected he's
00:27:31.140 elected but not now lee points out the conference rules contemplate of this vote in january after
00:27:38.120 the new congress is sworn in he's not waiting he's not waiting
00:27:42.580 now this is not about John Thune being a decent man or not because I don't think he is but he
00:27:51.020 might be what do I know but by most accounts his colleagues like him but do you like most of his
00:27:58.480 colleagues because I don't but anyway Senator Kevin Kramer says no rational person can blame
00:28:04.980 Thune for the loss really because I'm rational and I blame him
00:28:09.280 let's talk about it because that's the whole request here let's talk about it because for
00:28:17.220 two years voters asked for things in plain english the save act proof of citizenship to register
00:28:23.920 photo id to vote gallup found 83 percent of americans support proof of citizenship to register
00:28:32.500 84% support photo ID
00:28:35.640 2 out of 3 Democrats support both
00:28:38.620 I can't get 83% of America
00:28:42.260 to agree that puppies are cute
00:28:44.380 the House passed it
00:28:46.580 it died in the Senate
00:28:48.240 oh and who was in charge of the Senate
00:28:49.780 oh I know
00:28:50.820 Thune
00:28:51.980 the answership from Thune
00:28:54.880 again and again
00:28:56.000 the votes aren't there
00:28:57.080 well that's your job to get the votes
00:28:59.140 the filibuster
00:29:01.460 no that was too harsh that was too harsh
00:29:04.120 you know a leader that can't conjure up 60 senators out of thin air I understand
00:29:11.580 a one that can't find an additional five come on and a leader decides what gets fought for
00:29:21.500 in public and what gets quietly shelved and voters watch which one was which you have no
00:29:29.360 place in leadership. You watch from your kitchen table. Then they stayed home or voted the other
00:29:37.040 way. And last Tuesday, you sent them the bill. Now the same leadership wants to sign for the
00:29:45.620 delivery without even opening the box. You voted. Look, I said, don't send a message because they
00:29:51.320 won't get it. Don't send a message. But you voted to send a message. And it was very, very clear.
00:29:57.220 It was very clear. They didn't get it, and they're refusing to get it. And if Thune gets his way,
00:30:06.400 it's just going to pour concrete into that. They'll never hear this message.
00:30:13.100 Now look, we've been here before 1852, and it was the Whig Party. It had elected two presidents.
00:30:20.320 Henry Clay was a Whig. Daniel Webster was a Whig. A young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln was also a 0.83
00:30:26.320 Whig, and the country was tearing itself apart over slavery. Something had to be done. Northern 0.85
00:30:32.520 voters were furious about the fugitive slave law, which forced them to help send runaways back to
00:30:39.240 their masters, which the Northern people did not want anything to do with. So the Whig leaders had
00:30:45.680 a solution. They wrote into their platform that the matter was settled, and they condemned all
00:30:53.200 further agitation so in other words stop talking about it the grown-ups grown-ups have it handled
00:31:00.580 so basically we're not going to northern whigs read that the story goes and said i'd take the
00:31:07.560 candidate and split and spit on the on the platform because you're not doing anything
00:31:13.580 about this four years earlier they had won the white house that november the whigs carried four 0.96
00:31:19.380 states. Four. It was a complete wipeout. Sound familiar, John Thune? Then in 1854, Congress 0.97
00:31:26.800 reopened the whole question with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. And the Whigs? North and South 0.96
00:31:31.560 couldn't agree and they didn't do anything. They had spent so long avoiding the question that when
00:31:37.380 it finally arrived, they had no answer. Does that sound like health care? While that bill was still
00:31:43.980 being debated, a small group of ordinary people walked into a little white schoolhouse in Wisconsin. 0.94
00:31:49.380 They were farmers, and they were shopkeepers, and they were disgusted Whigs.
00:31:53.840 And a local lawyer stood up and said, in effect, we're done with the old party.
00:31:57.980 We're done.
00:32:01.000 Let's call ourselves Republicans. 0.86
00:32:02.660 And within a few years, very few years, the Whig Party was gone.
00:32:08.760 Not smaller, gone.
00:32:11.260 Six years after that schoolhouse, a former Whig from Illinois was elected president as a Republican. 0.88
00:32:17.060 and the Republican Party was born 0.92
00:32:19.300 because a party who refused to listen to its own voters
00:32:22.280 is not a party that should serve.
00:32:25.460 And it was built out of the rubble of men
00:32:27.940 who thought a crushing defeat was a messaging problem.
00:32:31.940 It wasn't.
00:32:33.840 The Weeks didn't die because they lost.
00:32:38.580 Parties lose all the time.
00:32:39.740 They died because they lost
00:32:42.280 and decided nothing needed to be changed.
00:32:44.980 that's exactly what Thune is doing right now it's true of more than parties the loss you refuse to
00:32:52.260 examine is the one you are sentenced to repeat in life a marriage a business a country whatever it
00:32:58.460 is that you have failed at if you do not address why you failed the real causes of why you failed
00:33:04.820 you'll repeat it over and over and over again the ones who recover sit down after the defeat and say
00:33:10.420 what the hell did I do? What did I do? Forget about everybody else. What role did I play in this?
00:33:18.580 John Thune is so ironic. You know, he got to the Senate. You know how he got to the Senate?
00:33:22.420 He got to the Senate in 2004 by beating Tom Daschle. Who was Tom Daschle?
00:33:29.540 Daschle was the Democratic leader and South Dakota fired him.
00:33:33.860 it was the first time in more than 50 years a senate party leader lost his own seat
00:33:41.020 nobody knows in that building better than john thune what happens when voters decide
00:33:46.980 leadership has stopped listening because he's the receipt 0.98
00:33:50.460 now john thune's gonna say we've got to move forward on the judges oh shut up shut up what 1.00
00:33:58.960 you think we're stupid? Republicans want to confirm 23 of them before the Democrats take 1.00
00:34:06.240 control on January 3rd. Well, you wouldn't be in such a rush if you would have done your job in
00:34:09.760 the first place. But good, confirm them. You're the majority leader until January, no matter what
00:34:15.800 happens today, John. Delaying the leadership vote changes nothing about the votes on the judges.
00:34:22.680 It changes only whether anyone has to answer a question for what just happened. Somebody has to
00:34:28.480 actually look at the message that America just sent. You know, and the questions really aren't
00:34:34.640 hard. You just don't want to answer them. What happened to the SAVE Act? What would you do
00:34:39.620 differently today? Who decided what fights were worth having? What's the plan for next year,
00:34:47.580 2027? What's the plan for 2028? Any man who wants this job should welcome those questions
00:34:55.180 and want to say the answers in front of the American people,
00:34:58.660 not behind closed doors like is happening right now in Washington.
00:35:03.340 And if he can answer, he'd have a stronger hand in January.
00:35:07.380 If he can't, the conference deserves to know it before it votes, not after.
00:35:15.740 Ron Johnson was asked whether anyone could challenge Thune.
00:35:19.460 His answer was, who wants the job?
00:35:21.720 oh my god that's the worst answer i've ever heard that's that that's the sound of a party that has
00:35:27.740 stopped expecting anything of itself who wants the job it's too hard you'll get beat up yeah
00:35:33.680 what did you think this was going to be a picnic do you think the american people are having a 0.98
00:35:38.260 picnic the american people are having a hard time affording the picnic because you won't do a damn 0.93
00:35:43.860 thing. If you voted to send a message to Washington, you stayed home or you voted for the
00:35:53.680 other party because you wanted the GOP to hear that, they haven't received your message. I told
00:35:57.980 you they wouldn't, but you have another chance today. The receipt they posted says strong record
00:36:03.700 of accomplishment. That's what they're actually saying, according to John Thune. So you need to
00:36:08.360 Senate again today. The Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121. 202-224-3121. You tell every
00:36:17.440 Republican senator, if you elect John Thune, you are going to thrill, you are going to hope
00:36:24.940 that you have the kind of election that you just had in 2028. Be polite, be short, just say this,
00:36:33.360 don't hold a leadership election one week after a historic defeat.
00:36:37.720 Hold the meeting, ask the questions, then vote in 40 days.
00:36:43.120 Tell them that last Tuesday's margin was a warning,
00:36:47.520 and it only grows if they treat it like the weather. 0.99
00:36:51.780 They will go the way of the Whigs. 0.85
00:36:54.580 They didn't believe you last time. 0.96
00:36:57.200 They didn't believe you.
00:36:58.620 They should believe you this time, but they don't.
00:37:01.100 they should believe you because you voted for socialists
00:37:04.960 and i want you to know this is not about the ball is rhino he's just one man this is about
00:37:12.240 whether the republican party is still the party of that schoolhouse where ordinary people can
00:37:17.760 walk in and tell the leaders they had stopped listening or if they've just become the party
00:37:23.360 you know of those people who just walked out and now they've got nothing but their own power 0.85
00:37:29.980 the whigs had their choice in 1852 they chose not to look this morning right now the republicans 0.98
00:37:37.920 are getting the same choice will they listen to the people or will they go the way of the whigs
00:37:44.680 capital switchboard is open for your call right now 202 224 31 21 call every senator call everyone
00:37:55.020 you know. Anyone who voted to send a message, you're not done. You're not done. Don't say,
00:38:00.920 I don't want to do this because it never works. Excuse me. You voted to send a message.
00:38:08.400 If you want that to be effective, you must call them today. Don't finish. Don't be like them.
00:38:15.540 Don't do half the job. 202-224-3121. 202-224-3121. Say no, no, no to John Thune. No.
00:38:33.160 They might choose him later, but not this fast. They have not even read the receipt yet to see
00:38:39.680 what you were trying to say, and they got it wrong. You need to send the message today.
00:38:44.160 202-224-3121.
00:38:46.660 Back in a minute.
00:38:50.180 All righty.
00:38:51.280 Our sponsor of this half hour is Mercury One.
00:38:53.700 Ever since I founded Mercury One 15 years ago,
00:38:56.700 it has always been about a simple question.
00:38:59.200 When somebody needs help,
00:39:01.000 what are each of us prepared to do about it?
00:39:03.960 Not what can you post about it?
00:39:06.800 Can I post a black box or a red box or a blue box
00:39:10.840 or how angry can I get?
00:39:12.300 What can we actually do that makes a difference in somebody's life?
00:39:16.220 I've seen what happens when you answer that question with action.
00:39:19.620 Families get hit by disaster.
00:39:21.920 They get help.
00:39:23.280 I mean, crazy amounts of help.
00:39:25.480 People facing persecution find somebody willing to stand with them,
00:39:28.640 help them escape in the most dangerous places in the world.
00:39:32.500 Through the American Journey experience,
00:39:34.080 we help preserve the stories and principles that explain how this country came to be.
00:39:38.080 And now we're on the verge of opening an amazing, world-class museum.
00:39:45.900 Those may sound like different missions, but to me, they all belong together.
00:39:48.720 If you care about human dignity, you care about the person in trouble
00:39:51.740 and the principles that will protect the next generation tomorrow.
00:39:57.200 Mercury One is doing this work for 15 years.
00:39:59.400 There's such an incredible number every time I think about it,
00:40:02.220 what we've done and what you've accomplished.
00:40:04.240 And I'm so proud to be associated with you.
00:40:06.440 but I'm more interested in what we can do next. If you've ever wondered how to turn your convictions
00:40:11.680 into something tangible, this is a way to do it. I want you to get involved with our family,
00:40:16.940 will you? It's mercuryone.org. Mercuryone.org. Make a donation now. Mercuryone.org.
00:40:23.280 Glenn Beck.
00:40:37.320 When you send your daughter to play sports, you expect her to face competition.
00:40:42.400 You know there's a possibility she's going to get hurt, and that's part of sports.
00:40:45.660 But you also expect that people responsible for her safety are honest about who she's competing against.
00:40:51.940 In Washington State, a high school sophomore named Kaylee Keeler says she was sexually assaulted during a wrestling tournament.
00:40:59.880 Only afterward did she learn that her opponent was a biological male who identifies as a girl.
00:41:06.020 Washington's policies allow male athletes to compete in girls' high school sports
00:41:10.600 without requiring schools to disclose the information to the girls
00:41:13.360 who are competing against them or to their parents. 1.00
00:41:16.480 Well, now, Callie is fighting back.
00:41:18.440 With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom,
00:41:20.880 she's challenging that policy and pursuing her case at the Supreme Court.
00:41:24.320 This is about the safety of your daughter and my daughter,
00:41:27.120 the rights of parents,
00:41:28.420 and whether schools can withhold information that families deserve to have.
00:41:32.240 I want you to text BECK to 83848 or join ADF.com slash BECK today.
00:41:50.620 I got to tell you, John Thune, a real man or smooth like a Ken doll?
00:41:56.060 Clearly smooth like a Ken doll.
00:41:58.000 uh and um i think mike mike lee is going to be on with us tomorrow he's in the meeting otherwise

00:42:54.380 But we believe in merit.
00:42:56.680 And you, Thune, you're responsible for an epic loss.
00:43:02.020 GOP, epic loss.
00:43:03.920 Sorry, the people who presided over the problem
00:43:07.660 or helped create the problem cannot solve the problem.
00:43:10.380 We need new blood.
00:43:22.940 We have made relaxing complicated. You can work all week and you can take a vacation, you pack,
00:43:28.380 you fly, you drive, you haul suitcases, you sleep in a strange bed and you come home needing three
00:43:32.440 days to recover just from all the relaxing you did. Sometimes your neck and your back,
00:43:36.880 you come home with a few souvenirs of their own. This is why I like Chirp Contour. It gives you
00:43:43.260 an at-home massage that combines spinal decompression, specialized massage, soothing
00:43:48.420 heat to help erase all and ease all of the pressure and loosen your stiff muscles and
00:43:53.700 relieve the soreness that you might have. You don't have to make an appointment. You don't
00:43:56.840 have to drive anywhere. The contour is personalized, presets, customizable treatments. It adjusts to
00:44:01.580 you. You can set it up for whatever you need, wherever you need to use it and use it at home
00:44:06.420 or office, wherever. Chirp doesn't just make the contour. They've also developed an entire range
00:44:11.560 of products designed to bring relief to more people. Products are FDA listed. They're great.

00:45:20.100 Glenn Beck is on.
00:45:22.120 Glenn Beck is on.
00:45:24.480 Na-na-na-na.
00:45:27.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh. 1.00
00:45:29.520 Na-na-na-na-na.
00:45:33.260 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:45:41.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:44.720 Glenn Beck is on.
00:45:46.000 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:49.860 Good news, in case you just joined us, we have secret meetings going on now in Washington, D.C.
00:45:58.900 You know, no big deal. No big deal.
00:46:00.920 They're just behind the scenes trying to elect John Thune, who just came out and said,
00:46:08.080 you know, we have a long list of accomplishments from the Senate last night.
00:46:12.420 Name them. Can you name them?
00:46:13.680 I'd like to I'd like to see that long list. I really would, because I don't think the American people felt that way.
00:46:19.720 And certainly the GOP didn't feel that way. But you should call your senators in Washington, D.C. today and tell them, no, John Thune should not be.
00:46:32.940 I mean, they did not get the message. If you sent a message, that's what you voted.
00:46:37.000 And you were like, I'm sending a message. I'm going to vote for the other guy.
00:46:39.720 They didn't get that message. I told you they wouldn't, but you have another chance. Send it now. Call the Capitol building and say, no, no, no. You're going to go the way of the wigs. You keep doing this again. You're going to go the way of the wigs. I'm telling you, GOP, I told you this before, and I actually hoped that it didn't come true there at the end.
00:47:03.840 I said if you don't pass these things
00:47:07.200 if these things don't happen
00:47:08.520 if you don't get at least the SAVE Act
00:47:11.480 but if you didn't see people going to jail
00:47:13.840 or at least going in for trials
00:47:17.620 to at least have a fair and open trial
00:47:21.640 if you didn't clean up this mess
00:47:23.700 you didn't do it
00:47:25.260 you're going to lose the midterms
00:47:26.860 and people will not vote for you ever again
00:47:29.580 and you're one election away from them
00:47:31.720 never voting for you again
00:47:33.040 One election away. You do this again, you're done. You will be the Whig party.
00:47:39.180 All right. I want to play something for you. This is the Trump said this yesterday on amnesty. Sought 18, please. 0.95
00:47:49.660 We have a very strong deportation policy. There's no amnesty, no anything. We keep that.
00:47:56.220 But we focus on the worst of the worst. We want to get the murderers out. We've gotten most of them out.
00:48:01.980 we've gotten most of the really bad you know they they allowed joe biden allowed 100 well
00:48:08.220 uh 25 million people to come in of that 11 888 murderers most of whom committed more than one
00:48:16.780 murder we've gotten most of them we want to get the worst of the worst and then we'll see what
00:48:21.700 happens but they came in illegally many of them have good jobs now they're productive some of
00:48:28.200 were even paying taxes and we're seeing what's going to happen there won't be amnesty somebody
00:48:32.560 suggested will there be amnesty no okay why why why do why did why do i trust that he's telling
00:48:41.320 you the truth i'm going to explain because something happened thursday night and then
00:48:45.100 something happened again yesterday that will explain why that will never happen under donald
00:48:51.380 trump i'll go there in 60 seconds first your cell phone bill probably is the most automatic bill
00:48:56.460 that you you pay every month comes out you glance at it you move on maybe sometimes you don't even
00:49:01.060 glance at it but it is worth asking a question what kind of company am i supporting with that
00:49:05.840 money what is the company doing with that money are they supporting me or are they you know are
00:49:10.360 they on the other team patriot mobile is a wireless provider built for people who care about the first
00:49:15.780 and second amendment heck all the amendments the sanctity of life supporting our veterans our first
00:49:21.180 responders, our cops. They're open about all of those values. You don't have to guess where they
00:49:26.520 stand. And this isn't a request to give up modern cell phone service, you know, for the sake of
00:49:31.540 making a point. Patriot Mobile offers wireless plans and U.S.-based customer support so you can
00:49:36.600 make a practical decision about your phone service while thinking about the principles behind the
00:49:40.620 company. And now for Black Friday, they got a great deal of 5G smartphone free plus two months
00:49:48.260 of service free no more excuses this is premium service patriot mobile.com slash beck friday
00:49:54.820 beck friday 972 patriot use a promo code beck friday like black friday except it's beck friday
00:50:01.600 why is he so racist why is he crossing out the black and friday for free phone two months of
00:50:07.460 free service it's beck friday terms and conditions do apply all right so last thursday this is
00:50:16.200 becoming so commonplace i'm going to get into this here in a second but i bet you probably
00:50:21.240 didn't even hear it thursday night secret service officers noticed a guy acting strangely in a
00:50:26.780 parked car on constitution avenue just a couple of blocks away from the white house
00:50:30.760 so they notice this guy and then somebody runs the plates the car was stolen
00:50:35.900 so they go and they arrest the guy inside an ar-15 rifle a mac 10 a glock and dozens of rounds
00:50:43.560 of ammunition. According to DHS, he told officers that the voices in his head sent him to Washington
00:50:50.060 to kill the president. Oh, so it's just one of our crazies. No, no, not one of our crazies. 0.95
00:50:55.220 Somebody else is crazy. His name is Ronnie Chirnos. He's from Venezuela. He crossed into Texas 0.98
00:51:04.100 illegally in March of 2024. Border Patrol had arrested him and then we let him go because
00:51:09.640 that's what we do we had him we had him in custody at the border you know before he ever set foot in
00:51:14.920 our country or in a town but we just opened the door and said ah you know it get back to us have
00:51:19.020 a good time oh here's an address i guess where you can go buy a gun two and a half years later
00:51:24.120 he's parked on constitution avenue with a rifle and the intent to kill the president then yesterday
00:51:29.800 a car jumped the curb at lafayette park right across from the white house engine was smoking
00:51:35.700 the drivers fought with officers and were arrested about the same time somebody else
00:51:41.300 a third incident jumped the barricade at the other corner of the park also arrested
00:51:47.580 reporters were hustled into the briefing room we don't know who these people are yet or why they
00:51:55.180 did it i'm not going to guess on the air and i'm not going to guess why we don't know yet
00:51:59.200 but you could probably, you have a copy of that board game at your house, you play it.
00:52:04.820 After Thursday, the director of the Secret Service said, we are, quote, alarmed by the
00:52:09.880 increase in the threat cases. Now, Secret Service, I have found, not really a dramatic, they're not
00:52:15.800 drama queens there. You know, they're not like, oh my gosh, we were all freaked out. When they
00:52:20.060 use the word alarmed, believe me, that should alarm you. When I read Thursday's story, my first
00:52:28.760 reaction. It's horrible, but here's my first reaction. Nothing. My first reaction was,
00:52:36.060 well, there's another one. And that's what scares the hell out of me. A country that stops being
00:52:42.840 shocked, stops paying attention and trying to kill the president isn't shocking anymore.
00:52:50.180 And that's a warning to us.
00:52:52.300 look at the people who have pulled a gun
00:52:57.280 and pulled the trigger on an American president in the past
00:53:00.300 first man ever to try was 1835 he was born in England
00:53:03.560 but almost everybody was born in England back then
00:53:05.680 he aims two pistols at Andrew Jackson both misfired
00:53:09.600 Jackson 67 years old went after him with his cane
00:53:13.940 don't mess with Andrew Jackson
00:53:15.480 then 1901 William McKinley killed by an anarchist
00:53:20.040 an anarchist
00:53:21.560 1912, the man who shot Teddy Roosevelt
00:53:24.700 was born in Bavaria
00:53:26.220 an alien
00:53:28.620 1933, the man who opened fire
00:53:31.380 on Franklin Roosevelt in Miami
00:53:33.140 was an Italian
00:53:34.100 who said he hated all of the president
00:53:36.560 and all capitalists
00:53:37.820 he was a Marxist socialist
00:53:39.260 he missed Roosevelt
00:53:41.080 and killed the mayor of Chicago
00:53:42.360 by the way
00:53:43.020 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald
00:53:45.760 a Marxist who had defected
00:53:47.820 to the Soviet Union and came back
00:53:49.540 1968 robert kennedy shot by siran siran who was he he was a palestinian born in jerusalem
00:53:58.000 he pulled the trigger on the first anniversary of the six-day war because kennedy stood with israel
00:54:03.640 okay are you you see a pattern here anarchist palestinians communists marxist illegals by the
00:54:15.680 way, that's not the whole list. And I know that John Wilkes Booth was as American in his apple
00:54:20.300 pie as they come. So was the crazy guy who shot Reagan and the two who went after Trump in 2024,
00:54:27.000 but they were extremists because they had Trump derangement syndrome. So they were crazy. 0.99
00:54:36.660 Evil has no passport. And I want you to know that, but nearly half of the people who have
00:54:41.280 tried to kill our presidents, come from somewhere else or came from an ideology that despises
00:54:47.320 everything that this country is. And we are printing those people. 0.97
00:54:54.000 Several of them, like the man on Constitution Avenue, were hearing things that nobody else
00:54:59.840 could hear. You know what I'm saying? And a broken mind is dangerous anywhere.
00:55:04.520 the question is why any country would wave someone through without knowing who they are
00:55:13.380 well because of compassion no it's not compassion every single country in europe is doing this and
00:55:21.240 those who don't are being called haters bigots and they're trying to and the eu is trying to
00:55:29.560 destroy them. They're trying to destroy anyone who disagrees with this. This is not compassion.
00:55:34.960 This is an agenda. You know, in the summer of 1900, the king of Italy was shot dead.
00:55:44.100 The killer had been living in Patterson, New Jersey, weaving silk. The anarchist in New Jersey
00:55:50.760 helped him get his passage. He sailed home and killed the king. A young man in Ohio
00:55:58.380 named Leon something or other read about it by most accounts he clipped the newspaper story and
00:56:07.260 carried it with him 14 months later he was standing at a receiving line in Buffalo a revolver wrapped
00:56:13.540 in a handkerchief and when the president reached out to shake his hand he fired now that guy was
00:56:19.640 born here but the ideas that were in his head were not kind of like the kid on the roof in
00:56:27.800 Pennsylvania. It crossed the ocean in one direction, killed a king, crossed back and
00:56:36.560 killed a president. Nobody was checking who was carrying it. So after that, America did something
00:56:45.000 worth remembering. It answered with a law. The new president, Teddy Roosevelt, went to Congress and
00:56:50.840 in 1903, for the first time in our history, the United States barred immigrants for what they
00:56:55.900 believed. If you come here preaching violent overthrow of our government or somebody else's
00:57:02.380 government or the assassination of public officials, you don't come in. What a good safety
00:57:08.480 tip that is, huh? Secret Service, which has spent its life chasing counterfeiters, took over guarding
00:57:16.340 the president full time. That was the lesson 123 years ago. You don't wait for the man with the
00:57:22.540 gun to reach you in the receiving line. You decide who gets in the line before they're
00:57:27.260 even anywhere close to the line. Let me ask you, America, what happens if one of these 1.00
00:57:34.120 guys succeeds? There was three, three attempts at the White House in the last five days.
00:57:43.360 When McKinley died, we got Theodore Roosevelt. And the whole direction of the country changed
00:57:49.340 because he was a deep progressive.
00:57:51.700 When Kennedy died, we got 60 years of Americans
00:57:55.360 not trusting their government anymore.
00:57:58.300 A bullet doesn't just kill a man.
00:58:01.140 It rewrites the country.
00:58:05.000 And we are not the country we were in 1901 or 1963.
00:58:09.140 If it happened today, half of the country would believe
00:58:11.620 it was an inside job before the ambulance even arrived.
00:58:15.100 And the other half would demand that somebody would pay.
00:58:18.580 And they wouldn't be picky about who.
00:58:23.140 And the internet now would hand out names before we hit lunch.
00:58:28.920 And whoever held power would be offered powers no free people should ever have to hand over.
00:58:35.180 And millions of us would beg them to take it.
00:58:40.260 And that is exactly what the assassins want.
00:58:43.700 Not one dead man.
00:58:45.060 A country tearing itself apart the morning after.
00:58:48.580 when i thought this was about amnesty it is it is this is why we cannot stop with deportations
00:59:00.540 we cannot stop not out of cruelty not out of revenge out of responsibility most of the people
00:59:09.060 who came across that border came to work i really believe that and if i were across the border in
00:59:13.520 the south and i heard joe biden say we don't care who comes here come on get a slice of america
00:59:18.560 I'd take my family across that border too 0.94
00:59:20.840 and I think you're a liar if you said you wouldn't
00:59:23.020 well I have principles 0.95
00:59:24.820 yeah I have principles
00:59:25.740 my family has a chance of success
00:59:27.520 and that country's not enforcing its own law
00:59:29.780 they're saying that it's not really a law
00:59:31.540 and I can come over
00:59:32.580 I'd come over
00:59:33.320 but a country that doesn't know who's living in its own house
00:59:38.800 cannot tell the worker from the man with the rifle
00:59:41.700 only the law can sort that out
00:59:46.260 And the law only works if we enforce it every day, even when it's unpopular, even when the cameras are ugly, even when the election goes the other way.
00:59:58.880 Because the border is the only checkpoint before you run into the man with the gun in the line.
01:00:08.520 Every checkpoint after that is a roll of the dice.
01:00:11.560 and the secret service has to win that gamble every single time the assassin only has to win
01:00:19.480 it once how many times is the secret service going to stop an assassination attempt and be
01:00:26.460 successful with everyone that misses the odds get worse for the president and for america
01:00:32.640 and all of this is true beyond the white house it's true of your home your church
01:00:40.720 your children's phones, your own mind. What you let in decides what you have to defend.
01:00:52.240 Thank God, Thursday night, an officer looked at a parked car and thought, that doesn't look right.
01:00:57.240 That's all it took. One person paying attention. He may have saved a president. And if he did,
01:01:04.120 he saved the country from the worst
01:01:05.860 morning after of its life.
01:01:08.820 We owe these guys.
01:01:10.720 Every single one of those
01:01:11.960 officers, we owe them.
01:01:14.800 And here's what we owe them.
01:01:16.820 That we will pay
01:01:17.980 attention and we will care.
01:01:19.880 Do not get used to this.

01:04:02.160 Not much on that at all, really.
01:04:04.520 Going after guns, red flag laws by the truckload, legalizing marijuana because nothing says affordability and gas prices like legalizing marijuana.
01:04:16.460 That's the first thing I think of.
01:04:17.780 Can I tell you something?
01:04:18.480 I hate that law so much. 0.98
01:04:20.320 I don't care if you smoke pot.
01:04:21.620 I really don't.
01:04:22.640 But, man, you go to cities now, and it is just, you go, a whole section smell like pot.
01:04:28.480 I mean, you walk around, and you're like, I think I'm high.
01:04:30.980 I mean, you go to work.
01:04:33.000 Ryan Hamilton says, I'm just trying not to get high on crack.
01:04:37.100 I'm going to work, just walking down the street.
01:04:39.500 I'm just high.
01:04:40.140 I just try not to get high off a pot.
01:04:42.500 I went with your family to New York City, to Rockefeller Center, to see the Christmas tree.
01:04:49.500 And we're walking over.
01:04:50.080 There's families everywhere.
01:04:51.220 and i was passing out i was so high by the time we actually made it to the tree
01:04:56.400 it was that was there was so much pot in the air it was insane um anyway but but yeah but meanwhile 0.86
01:05:02.580 that's happening the islamists are straight up just throwing it in our faces what they've done 0.90
01:05:06.880 and what they plan to do going forward um we play is which is in so many words take over 0.96
01:05:13.640 which is almost directly quoted from uh one of these islamist speakers in one of his speeches
01:05:20.080 he said it in arabic so it was can we find can we find the special that i did uh with one of the
01:05:25.780 guys from irving and i gotta yes admit that you remember that show can you see if you can find
01:05:31.440 that through glenn and i for tomorrow um and i want to show you this they're making a new sign
01:05:35.880 for bucky's uh can we put this can we put the new sign up we have it um i really think it's too soon
01:05:43.480 glenn i mean texans are still al bucky's uh sadama antonio texaganistan uh gosh too soon
01:05:54.760 i want to laugh but yeah too soon texas yeah well it won't be it won't be uh okay well the 0.52
01:06:04.760 good thing is is al bucky's everything will be halal so uh that'd reduce about 95 percent of 0.76
01:06:13.740 anything that is sold to the bucky all right more in just a second we're going to continue 0.86
01:06:19.220 our conversation about what trump is planning on doing and what this election was really all about
01:06:24.580 next all right uh pre-born pro-life movement is facing a very different battle these days for
01:06:34.220 decades much of the focus was on abortion clinics and that's where people prayed where they offered
01:06:38.640 to help where they tried to reach women before a irreversible decision was made but today with
01:06:44.020 the abortion pill that decision can happen without a woman ever setting foot inside a clinic and that
01:06:49.420 means the pro-life movement has to change its approach and that's why the work of pre-born is
01:06:53.320 so important pre-born helps connect expectant moms with free ultrasounds compassionate counseling and
01:06:59.280 practical support. They're also working on some other things on the abortion pill that
01:07:04.220 I don't, it's not my place to tell you about, but I'm telling you they are working hard
01:07:10.840 on every front. If you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation
01:07:16.000 to write, to use as a write-off? A donation of $1,000, $2,000, $10,000, or $15,000 will sponsor
01:07:23.060 an ultrasound machine for a needy clinic and help save countless babies' lives for years to come.
01:07:28.180 All gifts or tax deductible will reach into the eternities.
01:07:31.140 Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck.
01:07:36.400 All gifts or tax deductible.
01:07:38.040 I'm going to be speaking here in Florida at their gala in just a couple of weeks.
01:07:41.500 Make sure you're there.
01:07:42.820 Pound 250, keyword baby.
01:07:44.440 Coming up, the woman who led Hispanic outreach for Trump's 2024 campaign joins Glenn next.
01:07:58.180 bianca rodriguez is with us she is the republican national hispanic assembly communications
01:08:23.380 director former trump administration official um and she says she knows the real reason the
01:08:29.640 gop lost the hispanic vote we were talking about this yesterday um vianca welcome to the program
01:08:36.460 i will tell you everybody's spooked about amnesty um and they think the president's going to go
01:08:43.180 after amnesty blah blah blah blah um i have to ask you that is that in his future is that where
01:08:49.980 we're headed and what is the real reason we lost the hispanic vote so we're not headed towards an
01:08:57.180 amnesty whatsoever we don't we don't even want that we're not asking for that we saw what happened
01:09:02.240 in 1986 after ronald reagan gave it the first time around in exchange for enforcement we never saw
01:09:08.080 that happen so we don't want to replicate that what we do want and this is just something that
01:09:14.000 i've seen in my community i'm based out of miami i feel like on one hand it's kind of a bubble down
01:09:19.680 here where the majority of us are Hispanic. And so it's kind of normal for us. Whereas where you
01:09:25.060 go to maybe Oregon or Idaho, and you don't see as many of us. So it's not as common of a conversation
01:09:31.460 to have. But all in all, what a lot of Venezuelans here argue for is to just be recognized, to just
01:09:37.840 have somewhat of a legal status. It's what a lot of them, that's why they apply for asylum. You
01:09:42.680 know, everybody has their own individualized case by case type of basis. But no one is necessarily
01:09:48.860 arguing that they want to become a citizen tomorrow. That's why you saw, you know, maybe
01:09:54.500 it's considered a little bit more controversial, Representative Maria Elvira Salazar's Dignity
01:09:59.160 Act. But in that proposal, what you see is she's saying she wants these individuals that crossed
01:10:05.560 illegally to pay a fine for restitution. It contributes to our economy. It helps maybe bring
01:10:11.720 down the deficit, too, if we require that. And that way, they don't have to continue staying
01:10:16.780 here illegally and that's not for everyone that's only for non-violent illegal immigrants that are
01:10:22.000 currently um you know illegally in the country and i think that's maybe a good way to start
01:10:26.480 so bianca i i will tell you everybody is spooked because they think anything we do is a step
01:10:33.300 towards amnesty where i look at this and say i need we must know who is here and if we if we
01:10:42.960 don't have i mean look it it could be just like a number at the deli you know now serving number 56
01:10:49.460 everybody has to have some sort of identification on them that identifies who they are so they're
01:10:56.660 not going out and getting fake ids um exactly identifies who they are we know they're not a
01:11:02.420 citizen um we know their status etc etc it will take people out of the shadows they still could
01:11:10.020 go home they still could go home but we must know who people are we have to yeah yeah a hundred
01:11:18.540 percent i think that's where we should be headed and again i i really think that there's a way to
01:11:23.980 have kind of a happy medium with the situation maybe we don't necessarily target the dreamers
01:11:29.220 right now maybe we do i mean that's something that president trump had had tried to do a deal
01:11:33.780 with democrats back in 2018 on they denied it because they didn't want to give us they didn't
01:11:39.020 want to give us border wall funding, right? And so they consistently, it's like they're hypocrites 0.97
01:11:42.940 as well, right? Because if they really cared about this issue, they would have done something 0.95
01:11:46.740 about it a long time ago, and they never did. So right now, you know, it's a situation where
01:11:52.400 two things are combined, right? So we're talking about the economy and affordability being a
01:11:56.980 number one issue also for our community, but it's also kind of in a way directly tied to the topic
01:12:01.860 of immigration. Illegal immigration brings wages down. It's affecting our economy as well. People
01:12:07.740 that are not necessarily here illegally, that are Hispanic, you know, they're seeing the news,
01:12:12.260 they're seeing what Univision and Telemundo are presenting them, and they think, like,
01:12:16.100 ISIS is going to come after them. And it's not true. Obviously, we know this, you know,
01:12:20.060 they're not racially profiling anybody. But we also do know that because President Trump has
01:12:25.260 been wanting to do and execute these mass deportations that we voted for, chances are
01:12:30.220 that they've trickled down to maybe mistakenly detaining other people that are not necessarily
01:12:36.140 here illegally or that maybe they're still in the process of asylum and that's something that i saw
01:12:40.640 happen here in miami um actually with a co-worker of my husband um my husband he he has another he
01:12:48.020 has actually a side job because the economy just doesn't allow for us to you know sustain ourselves
01:12:53.120 with just one job and his side job he works for a soccer academy and in that soccer academy his
01:12:58.900 co-worker he was on his way to a tournament in los angeles for the kids and he was detained
01:13:04.000 and obviously i don't know all the the nitty-gritty of his case but what we do know is that
01:13:10.120 he was here on you know in a process of applying for asylum he had a work permit he still has it
01:13:17.180 he's no longer detained he got a lawyer you know very expensive process and it's one of those
01:13:21.980 things where that's what i've talked about on on on x is that nuance is why are we necessarily
01:13:29.160 going after these individuals that are just trying to make a living you know they've applied for 0.90
01:13:35.060 asylum for a reason right and that's the nuance that i think is oftentimes missed and it sucks
01:13:40.960 because we're we're unnecessarily alienating a large portion of the population that voted
01:13:48.100 historically for president trump because of these things but wait matthew iglesias said
01:13:54.800 the fantasy backs it up the fantasy that his hispanic voters are primarily motivated by
01:14:01.640 immigration rather than economic issues is convenient for some members of the coalition
01:14:06.980 but it is clearly untrue he his point is is that it was it was economic conditions that was was
01:14:17.100 driving the hispanics to the other side not uh the fear of ice or anything like that
01:14:23.960 So, in a way, yes, but in that same, I think it's interesting because that same exit poll had demonstrated that the ones that did care about immigration were identifying as Republicans. 0.83
01:14:38.240 And, again, it goes back to the same subject, is that when you realize that all of a sudden you have people that are looking at our community in content, or, you know, they're on social media saying things like brown people have to go.
01:14:53.960 And so you see that whole other radical extreme and you also see you pair that with the images is it makes people feel concerned for no reason.
01:15:02.360 Again, the number one topic across the board for all Americans was the affordability issue.
01:15:09.200 It continues to be that. And now it's just a matter of let's see what's going to happen in these next two years.
01:15:14.660 And, you know, I know that President Trump was already working on some things, but he can only do so much.
01:15:19.200 We need Congress to take action as well. But but that's really like it's still underlying because of all the nuanced issues that affect so many of these families.
01:15:29.620 And listen, let's let's eliminate the stereotype, because I understand as well that there's an aspect of people that want to bring them here legally or have them legalized,
01:15:39.860 they continue contributing to our economy in a more fair manner you know in terms of helping
01:15:44.820 out our agriculture and all those um blue collar type of work and construction and whatnot but we
01:15:51.460 also have a lot of successful stories of hispanics in in leadership and public service we have them
01:15:57.940 also being successful business owners and and we've had them at mar-a-lago right like we i helped
01:16:04.180 co-host the Hispanic Prosperity Gala just last year, and there were so many Hispanics that were
01:16:10.180 there that are still supporting President Trump, but I remember having conversations with some of
01:16:13.800 these donors and high-level individuals that said, you know, I don't feel, we don't love
01:16:18.680 necessarily where things are going because it's also kind of targeting people that we've employed
01:16:23.560 or family members that are in the process. So explain to me, because I just don't think this
01:16:31.180 line is walkable i just don't know how to walk this line um without compromising uh
01:16:39.500 the the popular immigration policy um that trump has um downplaying the you know or or you know
01:16:50.620 doing what what trump did in in minnesota which was not go soft on it go get the bad guys just do
01:16:56.800 it in a much more reasonable way um and not compromising our values and our principles
01:17:04.100 on amnesty how do we get hispanics to come back um if if this is a real issue 0.99
01:17:13.700 because we honestly i i really fear that what's going to happen to hispanics is what happened
01:17:19.660 with the blacks in 1960 blacks were always always with republicans um and they had strong families
01:17:29.060 they were they were fantastic um and then the policies shifted on the on the left and they
01:17:37.180 imaged themselves the left imaged themselves as the great champion and they destroyed the black
01:17:42.420 family we cannot destroy the hispanic family those are strong families strong values god-fearing
01:17:48.960 people and strong entrepreneurs so how do we solve this without compromising our principles
01:17:56.720 well there's so much that needs to be done i don't think it's too late but it's going to take
01:18:02.480 some time i'm just going to be realistic about it but there's different approaches to it so
01:18:06.560 the messaging matters the way that the administration right now is handling the
01:18:11.360 messaging specifically for for this community it could be better right because again we voted
01:18:17.460 myself included i we wanted mass deportations because we saw what happened in the last
01:18:21.700 administration we saw how more than 13 maybe even 20 million is what trump has said at occasions of
01:18:28.680 illegal migrants that have crossed into the country we don't know who they are we don't know
01:18:32.700 where they are a lot of them may have chosen to self-deport but a lot of them probably didn't
01:18:37.640 right because once they break the law they're not going to all of a sudden just you know self-report
01:18:42.200 themselves to to court and say yeah i broke the law no they're just going to keep doing whatever
01:18:47.220 verdicts that they do. And we only find out about them when they commit the horrific crimes that
01:18:51.540 they do. So we voted for that. We want them to be deported. We want all violent criminals
01:18:56.180 out of this country. We want people that have committed asylum fraud out of this country,
01:19:01.380 completely deported, no chance, no second chance ever again. Any TPS fraud, anything like that.
01:19:06.920 Coyotes have made over $13 billion in this smuggling industry, thanks to the last administration.
01:19:13.640 So messaging that type of argument or, you know, the facts helps. But at the same time, you also have to be making it well known that we're not necessarily cutting legal immigration. We're all in favor that we want to have high skilled legal immigrants contributing to our economy.
01:19:32.720 There were different immigration waves. I don't think the recent immigrants that came illegally, most of them were at all high-skilled, not at least in the same way that we saw in the previous wave under Reagan.
01:19:46.220 And so knowing that, I think that we could at least make something very targeted. And that's just my personal opinion. Maybe that's my idea. Hopefully that's a happy medium for everybody. 0.97
01:19:54.960 And I'm hoping that the administration and some Republicans consider it is we don't necessarily allow them like if we if we give some of these individuals that are nonviolent, don't have any sort of criminal record, are contributing fairly.
01:20:08.280 They've established their their families, you know, they make their case as they already do case by case that they don't necessarily become citizens.
01:20:16.900 They don't necessarily they're not given voting rights because I think a lot of the skepticism from our side is that as well.
01:20:24.280 I think that's what I've been hearing is like they saw what happened with Reagan.
01:20:27.800 They don't want that to happen again.
01:20:29.180 They don't want, especially for Democrats to come out winning.
01:20:32.860 We don't want that either.
01:20:33.800 Like this, for this to be a fair deal, we have to have that.
01:20:37.300 It's not about Democrats winning.
01:20:39.140 It is, you know, Republicans have tried to be compassionate on this, but that is not the Democratic position.
01:20:46.940 It's not compassion.
01:20:48.320 They were the ones who built the cages in the first place.
01:20:50.920 It was not President Trump.
01:20:52.980 and I think people have tried to be reasonable.
01:20:56.880 Reagan tried to be reasonable
01:20:58.000 and it was taken advantage of
01:20:59.500 and every time we play this game
01:21:02.420 it always seems as though 0.98
01:21:04.960 the American people get screwed 0.98
01:21:08.260 and they are just tired of being the patsy. 0.99
01:21:14.820 They're tired of people going in and saying
01:21:17.240 we're going to do something
01:21:18.060 and then they don't do it.
01:21:19.380 um trump has done more than any other president in my lifetime um but i i just don't know how
01:21:26.940 you square this circle because it we've lost trust in in everything bianca thank you so much
01:21:33.580 uh keep thinking keep speaking out god bless you appreciate it thank you god bless you too thank
01:21:39.120 you you bet i just i just don't there's just no i mean
01:21:43.060 i would love to be able to come up with something reasonable but i don't trust
01:21:49.840 anybody at the table i don't trust anybody at the table i don't trust that anyone actually
01:21:54.940 is seeing people they're seeing on that side they're seeing voters on this side we're seeing
01:22:00.820 democrats screw us um and nobody's actually seeing the people and i don't know i don't
01:22:07.200 think you can get back there i just don't know how you get back there um uh because i'm not voting
01:22:14.680 for it and i gotta tell you i would i would i would be if i'm trying to think of my favorite
01:22:19.560 politician i don't have one so uh so let me try to come up with somebody i'm imagining some great
01:22:25.420 politician winston churchill shows up i don't think i trust him on this you know who's who is
01:22:32.360 actually trustworthy on this that you would believe could get it done. It's kind of like
01:22:36.880 building an oil refinery. Yeah, we can start building it, but I don't believe it's going to
01:22:41.600 actually be finished. We can negotiate now and do all kinds of things, but I don't think that's
01:22:46.260 what it's going to be in the end. You'll compromise and then you'll compromise everything away.
01:22:51.040 And then they'll just take it anyway. And no, no, no, no. All right, back in just a minute,
01:22:57.160 let me tell you about American financing. American financing has a way for homeowners
01:23:00.980 to look at the equity in their homes without automatically giving up the low mortgage rate
01:23:05.220 they work so hard to get. That matters because there's a strange financial situation a lot of
01:23:09.760 families are in right now. On paper, they may have real wealth in their home, but month to month,
01:23:15.500 you're feeling the pressure of high prices, expensive debt, payments that never seem to
01:23:19.280 get smaller. Some people assume the only option is to refinance the entire mortgage. It is not.
01:23:24.040 If you have a good first mortgage rate, don't touch it.
01:23:29.600 American Financing offers a smart equity loan with a fixed rate,
01:23:33.340 which may let qualified homeowners access the equity
01:23:36.160 while keeping your existing mortgage in place.
01:23:39.040 And it's a locked-in interest rate, which is really important.
01:23:43.320 Just to have them help review your finances right now,
01:23:46.040 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:24:22.220 all right that is going to be an impossible conversation to have uh just impossible
01:24:38.060 and you know the the the trick here is is not losing your principles but knowing the messaging
01:24:44.660 you know if donald trump i'm i'm actually still for the war i think the problem is not
01:24:50.640 the war yeah i actually think he made the right decision i wouldn't have made it but i think it's
01:24:56.960 the right decision to make um because nobody else was going to and they were gonna i mean look at
01:25:01.620 they're they're the ones now france is saying iran is the one unplugging all the refrigerators
01:25:06.380 okay um but so it wasn't the war it was the messaging behind the war so stick to your
01:25:14.660 principles on amnesty, but how do we find the messaging that works? And that's different
01:25:24.040 than compromising your principles. More in a minute.

01:28:37.940 I want to show you the difference one person makes.
01:28:58.600 Five years ago, we had a mom on.
01:29:01.600 Her name is Erin Lee.
01:29:02.340 She was on because the school, unbeknownst to her, transitioned her child, and she was suing the school, and she lost, I think, in the lower court, and it was in Colorado, and then she took it all the way to the Supreme Court.
01:29:22.220 The Supreme Court refused to hear the case, so she lost in, you know, for parental rights, she lost in the court of law.
01:29:30.660 She didn't give up.
01:29:31.700 She didn't think she was powerless.
01:29:34.080 You want to talk about empowerment? 1.00
01:29:37.980 Wait until I tell you the victory she just had. 1.00
01:29:41.820 She changed the whole state of Colorado. 1.00
01:29:45.320 And I'll explain with her joining me in 60 seconds.
01:29:49.140 First, let me tell you about friend factor.
01:29:50.900 You have an older dog, you know how much information you can get from the way the dog moves.
01:29:55.400 The paws before jumping into the car.
01:29:57.820 You know, the extra time it takes to get up from a nap.
01:30:00.180 It's so hard to see Uno get up from the floor.
01:30:03.660 That walk that's a little shorter than it used to be.
01:30:05.600 Those are the kinds of changes that make people start paying closer attention to their dog's everyday comfort
01:30:10.080 and just kills you inside, and I know.
01:30:12.320 That's why I want to tell you about Friend Factor.
01:30:13.880 Friend Factor is a daily treat designed to support your dog's mobility and healthy inflammatory response.
01:30:19.460 It's something you can add to an existing routine without turning the whole day upside down.
01:30:23.740 You're already feeding your dog and looking after him.
01:30:26.080 this is another way just to be thoughtful about that care. Dogs have a remarkable way of throwing
01:30:30.540 themselves into the things that we love, whether that's a walk or a game or just following you from
01:30:34.440 room to room. The older your dog is getting, it makes sense to pay attention to what you can do
01:30:39.120 to help support those everyday activities. Get your first bag of Friend Factor today. It's $19.95
01:30:44.420 at relieffactor.com. It's a treat for your dog that makes them feel better and helps them feel
01:30:50.720 better. It's 1995, relieffactor.com, 1-800-4-RELIEF. Erin, welcome to the program.
01:31:00.480 Hey, Glenn, it's great to be back. Oh my gosh. I'm so thrilled for you. I'm so excited to share
01:31:08.580 your story because you have been through hell in the last five years and back, and now you've
01:31:16.740 kind of conquered it. But you must have been so frustrated when the Supreme Court would not hear
01:31:22.720 your case. Explain what happened to your child and the court case in just a couple of minutes,
01:31:29.980 if you can. Yeah. So five and a half years ago, my daughter was lured into a secret gender and
01:31:35.800 sexuality club disguised as an art club, 12 years old, very innocent 12, and convinced she was born
01:31:42.780 in the wrong body. She was connected to predators. There was a group called Splash, an activist 0.99
01:31:48.120 organization that taught her concepts like polyamory, how to access puberty blockers,
01:31:54.080 and keeping secrets from parents. She was taught to keep this all a secret from us.
01:31:59.080 And we're lucky she came home and told us what happened. But Glenn, it took almost a year to get
01:32:03.140 her out of that cult-like mentality, that she had been born wrong, that she could not trust us,
01:32:08.760 that these were trusted adults that she should be listening to on concepts like sexuality and
01:32:15.720 gender identity. And it was a long, hard year. And we learned that there were other kids in that
01:32:21.800 class who had also been secretly transitioned. When we took this to the Supreme Court, it was
01:32:26.880 multiple families that were on the case with us, except those little girls kept the secret for an
01:32:32.100 entire year until we went public with our story. I think one of them actually heard me on the Glenn
01:32:36.700 Beck program and connected the dots that their little girl had been secretly transitioned over
01:32:42.600 a year ago in that secret club. And so, as you said, we filed a federal lawsuit, Pam Bondi led
01:32:48.940 the case, and it ultimately was the only case of its kind to get a statement from the Supreme Court.
01:32:54.620 Justice Alito called it troubling and tragic and an issue of great and growing national importance.
01:33:00.180 so that was my first big instance of failing to win where someone had to go first someone had to
01:33:07.200 get that statement from the justices to push the other cases to be heard and so you you fail and
01:33:14.460 um and a lot of people would be like okay well i've done my tour of duty and i don't want to
01:33:19.440 keep doing that you instead went okay can't win in the courts i'm gonna win how yeah well the 0.73
01:33:27.000 ultimate win was saving my daughter from the transgender cult. To be clear that no matter 0.99
01:33:32.440 what else happened after that, we win. And we're rare in that, that so many families have been
01:33:38.620 affected by this. And we're one of the few who got our child out of the dark cloud and can be so
01:33:44.140 vocal about it with her permission. But I co-founded Protect Kids Colorado. And we, as you
01:33:51.300 probably know, Colorado is now a deep blue state. We have now gone more left than California.
01:33:57.000 This last election, we now have a super majority in our House and Senate.
01:34:01.740 Every executive office is held by Democrats.
01:34:04.240 They hold veto power over the governor, although the governor is openly DSA.
01:34:10.040 I mean, we're in rough shape in Colorado.
01:34:13.540 And we moved 20 points to the left in every single county this election.
01:34:19.300 But God, we also have 20 points to the left. 1.00
01:34:25.080 Lauren Boebert is about to lose her seat. Three out of four of our incumbent Republican Congress 1.00
01:34:31.840 people are about to lose their seats. One is for certain. So we're in bad shape in Colorado.
01:34:39.480 So that's the atmosphere you walk into. But you put ballot initiatives onto the ballot that won.
01:34:49.920 Yeah.
01:34:50.380 How? What were the ballot initiatives and how did that happen?
01:34:53.620 It was such a mighty move of the people. We have three ballot measures that have now officially
01:35:00.300 passed. Prop 133 is the Children Are Not For Sale Act. That sets a penalty of life in prison without
01:35:06.080 parole if you buy or sell a minor child for sex. And that passed was 62%. So the widest margin of
01:35:13.240 any measure on the ballot, and there were 20 of them. Proposition 134, the Protect Women and Girls
01:35:18.800 Sports Act. It designates athletic leagues male, female, or co-ed. And then Proposition 135 is the
01:35:24.760 Stop Irreversible Sex Change Surgeries on Minor Kids Act. It's a mouthful. Sad that it's necessary.
01:35:32.740 But we built a huge, broad coalition of people, and we did it differently. When you see amendments
01:35:38.900 on your ballot, typically someone has paid millions of dollars to gather the signatures
01:35:44.020 or special interest groups involved, we just frankly didn't have that. We didn't have the
01:35:49.020 establishment support. We didn't have millionaire funders. Our biggest funder was a middle-class
01:35:53.980 family that cashed out retirement for our ability to print the petitions. And we raised an army of
01:36:00.080 over 3,300 petition circulators. Over 1,000 churches got involved, nearly 2,000 notaries
01:36:07.360 uh making these petitions official before we turn them in and it was a big broad coalition
01:36:14.060 of people from every walk of life and we proved that these issues go ahead go ahead finish well
01:36:21.400 i say these issues transcend political party this is these are not democrat versus republican issues
01:36:26.840 protecting kids is a great unifier and pushing gender ideology on kids is a losing stance people
01:36:34.460 who voted for that governor, who voted for Democrat down the ticket, broke ranks on these
01:36:41.100 issues and sided with us and voted yes in what I would argue is the deepest blue state now
01:36:46.760 of all 50 states. It's truly remarkable because you would not think this was possible. And you
01:36:58.240 also wouldn't think this has been been labeled a conservative talking point a conservative you know
01:37:06.460 uh hot topic that everybody else doesn't care about it and you've shown that that is not true
01:37:13.160 um and you had all of these people i imagine a lot of conservatives came out to vote and yet the
01:37:18.660 state went 20 points to the left yeah are there just no conservatives were they part of the people
01:37:27.480 saying, I'm sending a message, but this one, they wanted to make sure they got it right?
01:37:33.220 You know, it was such a David versus Goliath effort from the get-go. Certainly a majority
01:37:38.800 of the people who carried our petitions were conservative, but people were just excited to
01:37:45.080 sign these no matter what. You know, we had the LGBs, we had atheists, we had so many people who
01:37:51.220 Our state has gone too far. 0.96
01:37:53.740 And really, Colorado is a litmus test for how ridiculous they can pass legislation, 0.89
01:37:59.720 how insane the wording in our legislation can be. 0.95
01:38:03.580 We have over 20 laws that mandate gender ideology.
01:38:06.620 I have a list on my website, protectkidscolorado.org, where they've gone so far, Glenn, as to criminalize
01:38:12.760 recording the biological sex accurately on the death certificate.
01:38:16.800 That's how out of hand gender ideology has gotten in Colorado.
01:38:21.560 I say all the time it's our state mandated religion, you know, jack the cake bigger.
01:38:26.260 We just keep finding ourselves at the Supreme Court over compelled speech relating to gender
01:38:31.620 ideology.
01:38:32.740 And I think Coloradans have just had enough.
01:38:35.360 And these aren't theoretical issues.
01:38:37.780 You know, I've been pushed.
01:38:39.000 People have said they're going to overturn these and our legislature can.
01:38:41.860 These are statutory measures because they've done it in the past with oil and gas.
01:38:46.120 and tax measures. But these aren't theoretical. These involve our kids. This involves our families.
01:38:52.100 There are so many people who've been affected. They'd be hard pressed to overturn the will of
01:38:57.200 the people this time. I will tell you, if you hadn't had, you know, pass it with 60 plus percent
01:39:05.800 in a state that moved 20 points to the left, you could make an argument that this is a left-right
01:39:14.380 issue and the Democrats could go. But I have to tell you, if they go after these things
01:39:19.540 with that kind of support from all walks of life, they're going to they're going to end up being
01:39:27.140 like the Republicans just found themselves, you know, last Tuesday in real trouble.
01:39:34.040 We really broke the machine with this initiative. And I can't stress enough that we just did it
01:39:40.920 differently, that I think the reason it had such overwhelming support is because we had
01:39:45.780 thousands of volunteers in all 64 counties having conversations in their sphere of influence. We
01:39:52.240 were fundamentally shifting culture at the same time that we were pushing policy, whereas, you
01:39:58.300 know, usually... How did you do that? What was the message to the left that reached them?
01:40:05.520 it really is just common sense uh you know these issues are not usually work
01:40:12.020 it and it was getting people involved who could speak in their own communities again we had
01:40:19.640 such a broad coalition we worked with gays against groomers we also had really one of the
01:40:25.360 major components here was the churches we had the catholic diocese put out a mandate all four
01:40:30.780 Colorado bishops said, you will have signing opportunities. You will go out and vote on these
01:40:36.680 initiatives. We have the largest church in Colorado, Flatirons Church, say yes to having
01:40:41.800 petition signing. And we gathered 30,000 signatures just in that church alone out of our half million.
01:40:47.900 And when that pastor went first, the dominoes fell. And we found ourselves with over a thousand
01:40:52.820 churches engaging. And I think a lot of people who turned out to vote were the Catholics who
01:40:58.540 otherwise vote Democrat, but voted yes on these. It was the apathetic voters who don't turn out 0.85
01:41:04.760 for midterms, but showed up for these three initiatives, even if they left the rest of the
01:41:09.960 ballot blank. And it was the people who are not conservative Christians who were talking to their
01:41:16.320 sphere of influences, who were influencing friends and neighbors and ball teams and standing out at
01:41:22.940 the grocery stores, and just really proving that this transcends political party and the
01:41:29.220 faith spectrum, that more people agree on this than you think.
01:41:33.040 Really, it's a Courage is Contagious demonstration where people were willing to use these petitions
01:41:39.920 as a means to have conversations.
01:41:41.660 It gave people a way to start the conversation, and it gave others a way to have courage to
01:41:47.780 follow suit and to then talk to their neighbors.
01:41:50.360 and it I just it's never been done before the way we did this with no funding and
01:41:56.120 I'm sorry go ahead no I was just gonna say you'll find this interesting we were outfunded
01:42:02.680 nearly 20 to 1 and when our brilliant researcher traced the funding it was Soros
01:42:08.200 Buffett Democracy Alliance Tim Gill they raised 5.1 million dollars we only had a couple hundred
01:42:15.160 a thousand and most of that went to printing costs so we we really did the impossible here
01:42:21.320 so what advice would you get because this this i hear this from listeners every single day i hear
01:42:28.700 this from either a listener or someone i'm out someplace and people will say you know what i
01:42:33.200 don't care anymore i just i've given up it's nothing's going to change what do you say to
01:42:37.680 those people because at some point you had to have felt tired like we're just getting beat up
01:42:46.560 beat up beat up beat up what do you say to people who say one person can't make a difference well
01:42:53.140 you know firstly we the people can just do things we've proven that here in Colorado also their
01:42:59.980 strength in numbers you know we this only was accomplished because so many people said yes
01:43:06.500 And a lot of that had to do with me not giving up, getting knocked down, getting back up and
01:43:12.320 saying, okay, we're going to keep going. You have to fail to win. We ran measures in 2024.
01:43:17.600 We failed, but we started the process of building the team two years ago. The very next day after
01:43:23.340 we didn't make the ballot in August of 2024, we held a meeting and said, okay, let's pull
01:43:28.220 ourselves up by our bootstraps. Let's start assembling the team now. Let's be ready in
01:43:33.720 two years with a lot of preparation but we've really proved that when we all just do our part
01:43:38.880 we can accomplish huge things and all it requires you run for a president of the senate did you just
01:43:45.040 head of the senate yeah would you just i mean they're looking for somebody and i'd like to
01:43:50.080 submit you oh my gosh i'm a serial optimist um but i exist in the culture realm which which is
01:43:58.980 arguably even more important than politics. We're shifting the political landscape by shifting the
01:44:04.940 culture. Yes. And that is happening at a record speed. I'm going to do something on that tomorrow
01:44:10.260 in particular about shifting the culture. And it's amazing what is happening. Erin, I'm so happy
01:44:16.200 for you. I'm happy for your family and your daughter and the way things have worked out.
01:44:21.940 Thank you for what you've done. Thank you. Thanks for having me. You bet. Hope to see you again.

01:44:45.840 All right, back in a minute, let me tell you about My Patriot Supply.
01:44:48.040 There is a big difference between having an emergency plan and having a closet full of things you bought
01:44:52.360 because you thought they might come in handy someday.
01:44:54.520 You can have all kinds of equipment sitting in your garage, but if you haven't figured out how your family's going to eat,
01:44:58.980 how you're going to get safe drinking water, you know,
01:45:01.700 or how you'll keep essential devices running during an emergency.
01:45:04.560 You've got work to do lots.
01:45:06.220 That's why I recommend my Patriot supply.
01:45:08.180 They offer emergency food, water filtration.
01:45:10.660 The water filtration is unbelievable backup power,
01:45:13.520 all the other essentials that help you put together a practical plan for your
01:45:17.260 household. And this is a company with a big track record.
01:45:20.040 I've been with them for 17. I mean, they've been doing it for 17 years.
01:45:24.960 I think I've been with them for maybe 15 of those years.
01:45:29.900 They've helped more than 3 million American families prepare.
01:45:32.660 They've earned more than 90,000 five-star reviews.
01:45:35.820 I'm one of those five-star reviews.
01:45:37.740 They're really great.
01:45:39.340 You don't have to know what the next emergency will be.
01:45:41.440 You just need to make sure your family isn't starting from scratch when it arrives at your doorstep.
01:45:45.120 That is a much easier job to tackle today than it would be for anybody else scrambling to do the same thing.
01:45:50.140 Go to preparewithglenn.com.
01:45:51.720 That's preparewithglenn.com.
01:45:54.540 10-second station ID.
01:45:58.980 i'm going to play uh a clip i have somebody else on next heidi widmer um uh and you want
01:46:16.380 to talk about changing the culture she had a change of heart that is remarkable uh can we
01:46:22.540 play the clip cut 19 here it is a couple of months ago i went viral for judging my upstairs
01:46:27.820 neighbor's loudness before discovering she was a single 87 year old woman with parkinson's so i'm
01:46:35.820 the sounds i would get annoyed by were the sounds of carol struggling to get around her apartment
01:46:39.740 with her walker and then i discovered she was all alone in the world carol you got family no
01:46:46.380 got no family here ma'am i've been alone so obviously i took her in as my new best friend
01:46:55.180 started helping her with her daily chores and with your generous hearts and help through
01:46:58.780 grandmother carol's amazon wish list i refurnished her entire living room i also helped carol to
01:47:04.940 allow management into her place to get her some new appliances and utilized y'all's help again
01:47:10.300 to refurnish her unusable ancient kitchen furniture if you can believe it this mini fridge was what 0.62
01:47:15.980 carol was using the past couple years because she didn't want to be a burden to anyone and she
01:47:19.740 actually didn't even have a working stove since around the time she first moved in back in 2000
01:47:24.300 this is carol's kitchen today not totally brand new but loved a bit more tenderly with a new
01:47:31.540 table and chairs a nicer display case for her treasured items a bigger microwave to fit her
01:47:37.080 favorite coffee mug a functioning stove an easy to use garbage can and an espresso machine she
01:47:43.740 uses sometimes twice daily a dishwasher to make her life easier a new full-sized fridge
01:47:51.240 All of it made possible by both my efforts and all of yours.
01:47:56.080 Next up, Carol's staircase and her bedroom.
01:48:00.060 Stay tuned, you guys.
01:48:01.520 It's only getting better from here.
01:48:04.820 I have to tell you, I saw that, I don't know, a couple of weeks ago.
01:48:11.980 We tried to get a hold of Heidi to get her on.
01:48:15.460 And she's on with us here in a few minutes.
01:48:18.500 and I just think this is one of the greatest things I've seen. This is who we are. Forget
01:48:22.980 about politics. Forget about how you vote. Forget about any of that. This is how you restore America.
01:48:29.420 This is how we retain. This is the individual saying, I make a difference. We just heard it
01:48:36.080 a minute ago. Now, let me show you another way. That was a woman who said, I'm not going to give

01:49:25.380 heidi joins me next stand by
01:49:28.200 if your parents are on medicare there is a good chance they're getting a steady stream of mail
01:49:38.740 about enrollment right now.
01:49:40.000 Some of it looks important, some of it is important.
01:49:42.860 And Chapter can help you.
01:49:44.040 Their licensed Medicare advisors can compare plan options
01:49:46.700 based on your or your parents' actual needs,
01:49:51.020 including the doctors, the prescriptions, all of the coverage.
01:49:54.440 They can help your parents understand the choices
01:49:56.620 without charging them for advisor's help.
01:49:59.100 So now here's something you need to know.
01:50:00.900 This year, demand has been higher than expected,
01:50:03.260 even though Chapter has tripled its advisor capacity
01:50:06.040 compared with last year.
01:50:07.200 I think they've only been in business like three years and each time it's just off the charts growth because they are so good and unique at what they can do.
01:50:16.220 They are worth the wait.
01:50:18.000 It might take you a couple of minutes.
01:50:19.780 You might be waiting, but the deadline is December 7th.

01:50:28.600 They're open seven days a week.
01:50:30.580 Help yourself or your parents get this one right.
01:50:33.380 The call takes about 20 minutes.
01:50:35.240 Dial pound 250 and say the keyword chapter.

01:50:54.420 to keep the momentum going and my words.
01:50:58.240 Yeah, I just.
01:51:03.380 a couple of weeks ago i was you know scrolling on instagram which i do from time to time
01:51:25.920 uh and uh and i'm i'm glad my feed shows me a lot of empowering things um i i look for the things
01:51:35.500 where kids are doing remarkable things or somebody's got amazing talent or somebody's
01:51:39.940 done real good and i came across this um in my feed from heidi widmer and i didn't know anything
01:51:47.480 about her um and i'm i'm looking at it and she's she's talking about what happened with this woman
01:51:55.360 who lives up above her and from what i got and i want to bring heidi on heidi welcome um hi thank
01:52:04.020 you well you bet what i got from you when i was watching this it sounds like i mean first and i'd
01:52:11.560 like you to take us through this you had some hard years you were going through and then you move
01:52:16.360 underneath and it's like you're all of a sudden you're at a midnight bowling alley above your head
01:52:21.800 and you're getting kind of angry about it so can you tell us where did this journey start you went
01:52:27.800 through hard times what was happening um so i've been born and first of all thank you so much for
01:52:33.820 having me on the show this is wonderful i'm honored that you came across mine and carol's story um so
01:52:39.780 basically my life in buffalo it wasn't you know super tumultuous it's just the fact that i made
01:52:44.660 a couple, maybe too many mistakes, especially with men, you know, I had a pretty slow divorce
01:52:52.620 in that school year because I was a high school teacher for 13 years. Now I'm in middle school
01:52:59.360 in LA. I just, I needed to, I needed to get a fresh start. So I drove across the country
01:53:07.940 with my dog and just packed us up. And I said, no, I got a job in LA, but I said, as long
01:53:12.320 as i feel financially okay i need to start somewhere fresh um but i didn't know anybody
01:53:17.180 in la at all um i think i had like two acquaintances from college which i don't think really
01:53:21.940 counts it can be yes because i know i've heard that you know the industry is surrounded by
01:53:27.700 a lot of and you know it's okay it's to each his own a lot of selfish people who are you know just
01:53:33.240 looking out for themselves but to be honest right honestly glenn i needed that for myself i needed
01:53:38.000 to look out for myself. So I wanted to kind of be surrounded by this. But all that being said,
01:53:42.820 I didn't have a support system. I didn't have anybody out there. So when I had first arrived
01:53:47.220 in LA on July 15th, I had everything situated. I had my utilities ready to go. My dog and my
01:53:54.260 mattress was delivered on the exact day that I arrived. I thought everything was perfect.
01:53:59.900 My utilities were set up for eight hours. And then I had this bowling ball sound and it's not
01:54:06.060 at like 11 a.m this is at two in the morning um and i was a little distraught um the first two
01:54:13.340 nights i was exhausted from driving across the country and truly just wanted some rest so i just
01:54:17.660 let it go because it was the first two days but then it continued glenn night after night after
01:54:22.380 night and i just remember i actually have the footage which i'm embarrassed that i even took
01:54:26.860 but i have footage of recording you know the ceiling and the sounds and then me kind of
01:54:31.500 you know moaning about it and sending it to my best friend being like what do i do
01:54:34.860 she's like don't say a word you are brand new to this apartment complex no and i'm i'm a homeowner
01:54:41.040 i still own a home out in buffalo so for me it's just i wasn't used to the noises um and then about
01:54:46.260 two weeks later um i ended up because i never i never saw anyone glenn i never saw anyone going
01:54:51.880 up the stairs or down the stairs except for maybe like a delivery person so two weeks go into my
01:54:59.060 time in la and i'm about to start my teaching job and i was a little concerned because again if i'm
01:55:03.880 having these sounds at two in the morning i have to be up in four hours so i was concerned but it
01:55:09.180 just so happened the day before my work my job started up um i i heard somebody open the door
01:55:16.420 upstairs and i was kind of like oh i finally get to see this neighbor but it took them 20 minutes
01:55:22.100 to get down the stairs so i'm like something's not right then she fumbles everything everything
01:55:28.400 is on the ground all of her trash recycling and i just i hope that i did what any decent human
01:55:34.260 being would do and i ran outside helped her pick up her trash and glenn wouldn't you know the first
01:55:38.920 words out of her mouth to me were did you just move in am i too loud and i'm like oh gosh my
01:55:47.280 heart like just broke like i'm not even getting choked up thinking about it because now i know
01:55:51.720 the struggles that carol had gone through um and you want to know what that sound was um she didn't
01:55:58.000 have like a real she doesn't necessarily need a wheelchair but it's easy for her to get around on 0.52
01:56:03.100 like a wheelie chair she loves her like little computer chair she has that she rolls around 0.96
01:56:06.660 just because she doesn't want to have to walk everywhere if she doesn't have to she also has 0.99
01:56:09.840 wheels on her walker if she wants to sit and push herself but she had a broken computer chair so 1.00
01:56:15.520 there were only three working wheels that was the scraping on oh my god and then she was using this 0.85
01:56:22.500 chair to yeah but she was using the chair to hoist herself down to the bottom shelf of her 0.51
01:56:27.760 mini fridge because she didn't want to bother the landlord two years ago to tell her that her fridge
01:56:33.320 broke. So the social worker brought her a small mini fridge that she would take 30 minutes to
01:56:38.320 hoist herself down onto the ground, get her items out of the bottom shelf, and then hoist herself 0.91
01:56:42.620 back up at two in the morning, no less. So once I figured out, I'm like, no, no. Like I was raised
01:56:51.080 to help anyone who needs it. And she refuses to ask for help. You know, a lot of people ask her,
01:56:57.120 how come you didn't like your other neighbors how did they not how did they not ask and she said oh
01:57:02.460 my gosh my neighbors are dolls they all asked they all asked and I'm like why didn't you say
01:57:08.160 anything and she said you asked I didn't tell you either and I said yeah but then and she said but
01:57:14.960 then you just did you just came in and you did it so that was the difference and I guess I am a doer
01:57:24.080 um being a teacher like i see a problem i'm gonna fix it so i hope i know that i have that i've
01:57:31.280 improved carol's life because she deserves it i mean her whole life was a life of service and i
01:57:37.020 didn't even know that when i met her she was a fundraiser for 10 to 15 years so before she was a
01:57:43.040 fundraiser for like um museums and just save the dolphins like all the causes she was a fundraiser 0.99
01:57:49.480 for so she has an inherently good heart and then before that she was an au pair she never got
01:57:54.800 married never had her own kids but all those kids that she raised like she calls them her kids
01:58:00.180 and i'm like man we are kindred spirits then we find out our birthdays are one day apart
01:58:05.500 so i don't know we just she has said in multiple conversations that
01:58:11.480 heidi we've met in another life i i feel you're almost like my sister and i've i cried when she
01:58:18.280 said that and i actually caught it on recording i couldn't believe it um because that also went
01:58:22.280 viral but she's just a doll of a human and i'm so glad that i took a chance on the morals that i was
01:58:30.520 raised in and just kind of wanted to i wanted to be an example for other people because as a teacher
01:58:36.280 i had a teachable humbling moment so what did you what did you learn from that i would imagine the
01:58:44.440 the first lesson was you know i hope i'm not too loud uh that had to be very humbling um but what
01:58:53.160 have you learned through this so that when she said that and i know you noticed that i got teary-eyed
01:58:59.080 when i was even explaining it um i went into my house or my apartment after that and sat down and
01:59:04.500 i just stared at the wall and cried for like 10 minutes and then i thought to myself well hold on
01:59:09.780 a dang second i'm trying to be an influencer i only had like 30 000 followers at the time so i
01:59:14.240 like i want to i want to share this moment like this is very humbling i made a mistake
01:59:19.440 so first lesson it's okay to make mistakes as long as you're willing to rectify them and grow
01:59:27.440 and learn from them second thing learned like the biggest lesson of all truly glenn the biggest
01:59:35.120 lesson of all don't judge a book by its cover when you don't even know what the cover looks like
01:59:39.520 Like, you shouldn't even be judging a cover in general.
01:59:44.640 But just to, instead of leading with,
01:59:48.080 truly, I led with rage.
01:59:50.320 Maybe most people wouldn't lead with rage.
01:59:52.700 Instead of leading with aggression or judgment,
01:59:55.420 ask questions, be curious.
01:59:57.520 It's okay if you're, if something bothers you,
01:59:59.740 but you don't know what the cause is.
02:00:01.060 So delve into it, ask yourself questions
02:00:04.580 before you jump to a conclusion.
02:00:06.560 You know, that's like an age old saying,
02:00:08.320 don't judge a book by its cover.
02:00:09.520 But truly think about, um, like something that we do every day for those of us who drive,
02:00:15.040 I, you know, being a Buffalo, New York native, I am a very aggressive driver.
02:00:21.080 I'm not anymore.
02:00:22.380 Ask me how many fingers I've stuck up in traffic in LA since I've moved there.
02:00:27.660 No fingers, no words coming out of my mouth to other drivers that can't hear me.
02:00:32.740 Why?
02:00:33.440 Because.
02:00:33.980 Is that because of Carol?
02:00:35.420 Yeah, it is because of Carol.
02:00:36.660 because if i have somebody who's cut me off in traffic how do i know that that's not a mom
02:00:42.060 rushing to get to her sick kid how do i know that that's not a man who lost his father the night
02:00:46.520 before who's upset i don't tell you i have um a guy who was um he was the um highest ranking
02:00:57.460 officer in the hanoi hilton during vietnam war um until john mccain arrived and you know they
02:01:04.500 were torturing they were living in bamboo cages and and they were being
02:01:08.320 tortured every day and when he died his wife and his family came to me and asked
02:01:16.020 me to preserve his history and I have written on the inside of cigarette
02:01:23.940 packages Vietnamese for cigarette packages he wrote things to himself to
02:01:29.640 remember and i i i'll see if i can um get it copied and send it to you it's amazing it was
02:01:35.940 on judging others now here's a guy who's having his arms pulled out of his sockets every day
02:01:42.520 and he says do not judge other others no matter what they're doing to you are you that sure that
02:01:50.340 you wouldn't if the roles were reversed and you were raised like he was raised that you wouldn't
02:01:56.220 be doing exactly the same thing as he's doing to you now and i have to tell you that was one of the
02:02:02.620 most humbling god-like things i have ever read because there's a guy who had every reason to say
02:02:12.400 you sob i hate you and he didn't and it's yep when you see those things when you hear these stories
02:02:19.560 it's it's why i was moved by yours it's beautiful it's beautiful so thank you for sharing
02:02:25.300 thank yeah thank you so much for letting me share and I feel like our message is I don't know if
02:02:34.500 you guys know this but one of kindness I was actually just invited out to New York City
02:02:37.800 that's where I am right now um I was very so grateful um I was picked to be an honoree of
02:02:46.400 the kind 50 on GoFundMe because of this entire story that has gone so in or now um
02:02:54.040 just I don't mind getting the recognition but if I get the recognition I just also want to put out
02:03:02.380 the message of kindness like to choose kindness to lead with kindness because you don't know other
02:03:06.620 people's stories and if we all chose to lead with kindness there wouldn't be a single war happening
02:03:12.260 there wouldn't be this divide that our country the world and has we would be able to exist as
02:03:18.080 a peaceful people um so I just really want to keep spreading that message and I I honor you Glenn
02:03:22.800 for recognizing that message
02:03:24.960 and for choosing to spread the message of kindness.
02:03:28.060 I really, really, really appreciate you.
02:03:30.280 Heidi, thank you.

02:04:23.960 Let me tell you about Simply Safe.
02:04:26.120 Home security is one of those things that's easy to put off.
02:04:28.880 There's always another expense, another project, another reason to wait.
02:04:31.960 And as long as nothing bad happens, it's easy to convince yourself
02:04:34.600 that waiting is perfectly reasonable.
02:04:36.720 But you don't get to choose when someone decides to break into your home.
02:04:40.300 And by the time you discover your security is not what it should be,
02:04:44.460 the opportunity to do something may have already passed.
02:04:47.120 And that's why I recommend Simply Safe.
02:04:48.700 They've made professional home security accessible without turning your house into a major construction project or a major expense.
02:04:55.480 Their system is designed to detect trouble, alert you, and help get a response if something goes wrong.
02:05:01.340 And this is something you can take care of right now before an emergency forces the issue.
02:05:05.540 Because your home is the place where you should really feel safe and secure.
02:05:08.740 Make sure it's protected.

02:07:53.040 that it's the same thing happening it's kind of sad um anyway tomorrow i'm going to talk a little
02:08:01.420 bit about um how dave chappelle and some of the worst of the worst comments about charlie kirk's
02:08:08.480 assassination are not going well um and not with the right with pretty much anyone even charlemagne
02:08:15.100 the god came out and said this is wrong you've crossed the line um and which is really good to
02:08:20.620 hear you know there's a couple of things assassination attempts on the president life

02:08:32.320 attempts on his life uh i've never seen anything like this i don't i don't know of any president
02:08:37.920 who's ever gone like this um but uh there's two things that are happening in our culture
02:08:43.480 one is we were celebrating that uh and now we're kind of just numb to it happening but i think
02:08:50.260 at least the celebration part
02:08:53.040 may be coming to an end
02:08:54.580 in culture.
02:08:56.960 And that is really, really good news.
02:08:59.640 And I'll have more on that tomorrow.
