It is important to make smart decisions about your money,
00:00:19.520
but sometimes it feels like every decision that you try to make,
00:00:25.780
that doesn't share your values is a recipient of some of that money.
00:00:30.000
When you're choosing a phone provider, for instance,
00:00:40.660
Patriot Mobile is the clearest, best choice I have come across
00:00:43.820
to make sure that your money is going to the places that matter.
00:00:47.600
Patriot Mobile offers nationwide dependable coverage,
00:00:55.680
and they work on causes and spend their own money,

This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:01:52.200
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
00:03:06.100
It's Friday, and I want to start with the most important story of the day
00:03:11.240
The one story that caught my attention and thought,
00:03:16.220
this is the one story I have to share with you.
00:03:20.800
First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher.
00:03:23.520
The Berna Launcher, there's nothing more important to you
00:03:27.980
Sometimes that means using a gun in lethal force,
00:03:33.080
And for the times when you are not dealing in, you know,
00:03:38.020
killing someone and having to kill somebody to protect you or your family,
00:03:42.260
you have to have another solution to stay safe.
00:03:49.000
It's a non-lethal solution that's reliable and really super easy to use.
00:03:56.060
It has a CO2 cartridge, which uses the CO2 to throw out a projectile,
00:04:08.740
And the tear gas will stop somebody dead in their track 60 feet away from you,
00:04:13.320
and it'll put them down on the ground for about 40 minutes,
00:04:17.180
So whether you're at home, in the car, or going out for a walk,
00:04:33.420
For 10% off your purchase, that's Berna dot com slash Glenn.
00:04:38.120
So there's a story in today's show prep that is so personally disturbing to me
00:04:44.680
because I don't think people really understand,
00:04:48.260
and we have to have a conversation about what's going on.
00:04:51.940
There's a story in the show prep that is all about this new trend
00:05:03.740
Let me just give you the first few paragraphs of this story.
00:05:07.380
Lee insists he's famously a very good Catholic.
00:05:26.160
Lee, a 20-something communications professional
00:05:31.500
engaged in what he described as grand theft autoing
00:05:41.540
or take home four lemons in the self-checkout aisle
00:05:51.400
However, he's largely stopped taking from Whole Foods now
00:06:03.600
that he'll pop into and steal from from time to time.
00:06:13.320
that he needed to confess his misdeeds to his mother.
00:06:22.800
what the billionaire has done at the Washington Post,
00:07:09.060
Let me paint a picture here of three different people.
00:07:12.680
First, a man standing in the dim glow of a warehouse,
00:07:30.500
He's just a guy who is really tired of scraping by.
00:42:24.380
team works fast to restore it at no extra cost.
00:42:29.440
these AI-fueled criminals before they turn your
00:42:44.860
Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:42:50.680
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't
00:42:53.100
see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:42:56.680
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the
00:42:59.600
largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:43:02.380
Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on
00:43:06.680
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:43:31.360
Let me speak directly to Jack, the guy I was telling you about
00:43:35.700
in this story that is, you know, stealing from, you know,
00:43:43.360
Let me say, if you're one of these people, you're not a lost
00:43:46.880
You're a person that can still turn back and turn around.
00:43:49.500
And the radicals that are trying to burn down Teslas, you
00:43:55.840
The student that is using Grok to cheat, you can still learn.
00:44:03.620
And as a recovering alcoholic, I know it's hard to say no,
00:44:20.420
You are the architect of your own life and what comes next.
00:45:27.140
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:44.740
Usually I interview important and interesting people.
00:45:48.540
This time I'm just, I'm kind of interviewing myself
00:46:35.020
gazing up the little popcorn texture of the ceiling
00:46:41.320
marveling that the ticking of that clock down the hallway
00:47:01.240
It's a sleep aid that comes from all natural ingredients.
00:48:35.500
because everybody who wanted to buy a foreign car
00:49:48.960
I don't know if that's a good investment or not.
01:28:12.280
honor them by providing mortgage free homes for
01:28:16.060
the families of the fallen and free smart homes
01:28:26.660
us if we want our government to do less than we
01:28:29.660
have to do more this foundation was begun in the
01:28:32.880
wake of 9-11 and um it's been going strong super
01:28:41.940
like it's like 95 96 cents of every dollar goes
01:28:45.540
right directly to these heroes and their families
01:28:57.300
so i think the last time uh sean davis was on the
01:29:07.440
program we were talking about um the uh about david
01:29:14.040
uh and he said he had the ultimate authority over the
01:29:17.220
hunter biden criminal case that whole thing was a sham and
01:29:20.800
it was it was it's a sham that we now know really uh was
01:29:25.440
covered up by our intelligence uh and our justice department and
01:29:29.340
everything else i asked sean to be on with us now he is the um
01:29:33.640
the ceo and the co-founder of the federalist because i i think it's kind
01:29:37.880
of the same topic here we're talking about the jfk files and the things
01:29:41.100
that you know we exposed um this week on my program and um he
01:29:46.560
he wrote a great essay um about what these files were all about and i i
01:29:52.820
think we agree but he has a much deeper understanding of some of the other
01:29:59.060
wanted sean to come on the program hi sean how are you
01:30:01.300
i am wonderful sir thank you for having me on again
01:30:04.120
you bet you bet so um i was fascinated by what you wrote um in response to what
01:30:09.460
we were talking about on the uh on the jfk special that we did because
01:30:16.040
that what the files really reveal is the cia's involvement whether they
01:30:23.160
actually you know set them up to kill or whatever
01:30:33.780
uh trying to make themselves you know or trying to hide the fact that
01:30:38.800
they're just they were really nefarious and i personally think
01:30:41.660
the same things they were doing now or then they're doing now again
01:30:51.020
absolutely in my kind of fascination with the whole jfk thing
01:30:56.540
came about you know i'm i'm i wasn't alive when he was killed so
01:31:00.920
right um you know i don't have memories going back to that or anger about that
01:31:04.900
what bothers me is seeing how similar everything they did leading up to
01:31:11.640
and after jfk's assassination is like a dead ringer for stuff that
01:31:17.880
not the least of which was the russi gate hoax it is shocking you know they
01:31:22.240
say history doesn't uh repeat but it rhymes and i'll tell you
01:31:26.800
it it feels like i'm listening to the same poem or the same song over and over
01:31:33.200
it does everything that we're seeing now when i
01:31:36.740
you know i was looking even at even at the fact that you know donald trump
01:31:40.860
shuts down usa id uh the same thing that uh that john f kennedy did he got in
01:31:51.480
he says there's a real deep problem with a deep state in the cia
01:31:55.080
then he disbands an organization that's out to help the world
01:31:58.840
uh and he says this is just nothing but deep state the cia taking this money and
01:32:03.700
in overthrowing and then that's exactly what donald trump does
01:32:07.540
he disbands the organization that jfk started to replace the dirty organization
01:32:13.260
i mean it just it's the same story over and over and over again
01:32:17.800
yeah and what i find so fascinating is not only is it the same story with the
01:32:22.780
same behavior and the same lies it actually involves the same country you
01:32:27.340
know it was um there are a lot of people in government in the 60s who
01:32:31.540
believed that kennedy was a soviet agent that he was a spy
01:32:34.880
um that's why he wasn't strong on the cold war as they wanted they didn't like
01:32:39.360
that he was trying to to warm relations with khrushchev over there i mean does
01:32:44.160
that sound like what the left and in the corrupt intel agencies were saying about
01:32:48.140
trump in russia yes in in 2017 it's the same songbook
01:32:56.920
because it seems as though they just think they know better
01:33:02.100
they want to control the world the way they want to control the world
01:33:09.540
is that the story or is there more to this story with
01:33:13.940
with what the cia is doing and has had has been doing
01:33:18.120
i think that's the exact story um you have people who
01:33:23.180
whether i don't know if it's arrogance misguided sense of noblesse
01:33:27.740
oblige or what it is they think they are not accountable to anyone other than their
01:33:33.660
own individual moral compass i mean in the jfk case i think we had three
01:33:41.500
we had doles who lied to him we had richard helms who lied to congress
01:33:45.340
we had john mccone who lied to congress we had scores of cia agents involved at the
01:33:50.300
time who lied to congress and if you look at that and you think oh well you know
01:33:54.080
that's kind of crazy they would never do that now think about james clapper and john brennan
01:33:58.440
yes lying to congress they think they are accountable to no one but themselves
01:34:02.920
so isn't this the real isn't this i think you know um cash patel said to me about eight months
01:34:11.820
ago he's sitting in my office and he said i said everybody's dead cash why why who are they
01:34:16.400
trying to protect this point he said glenn it's not who it's what and with this release
01:34:23.040
to me everybody has kind of downplayed this is no big deal and maybe it isn't but
01:34:27.440
to me this release has made it very very clear we're seeing exactly the same pattern over and over
01:34:34.820
again and nobody is doing anything they're they're claiming it's a conspiracy theory and everything
01:34:40.360
else and if we don't stop this we're never going to get out we're never if we don't hold the cia
01:34:48.200
and the intelligence community accountable this time it's going to continue to happen
01:34:54.620
uh before we got on the the radio today i was reading through an old interview with
01:35:00.480
jim garrison who is a new orleans prosecutor who set up his own task force to investigate the jfk
01:35:06.520
assassination and the cia's involvement in it and he said something that it's almost like you were
01:35:12.580
reading from this transcript when he was interviewed you know decades ago about it he said look they
01:35:17.880
lied about everything the cia lied about it these people aren't accountable to anyone and if this
01:35:23.440
kind of behavior is allowed to continue you cannot have democracy and if you don't have democracy in
01:35:28.060
this country this country will fall and he is exactly right you cannot have an unaccountable
01:35:34.580
paramilitary intel organization that thinks it can do whatever it wants that thinks it reports to
01:35:39.640
no one and that its only sense of duty is to its internal sense of honor that is a recipe and a
01:35:46.140
description of tyranny not democracy or freedom so are we going to be able because i don't i hear kind
01:35:53.660
of a collective yawn on what's been released and what i think we're supposed to learn from this
01:35:59.620
are we gonna i mean can it can it be stopped at this point because if it would have been really
01:36:05.540
truly exposed and stopped in the 1960s we may not have had a watergate we may not have had a 9-11
01:36:13.740
i mean they're always going to fight back but if we could have stopped it a lot of our history would
01:36:19.560
be a lot different than it is today can we stop it i can i i think we can you know it's interesting i
01:36:26.320
agree with you that people kind of yawned when the files came out i don't think it's because people
01:36:31.560
are uninterested in it i think it's because everyone assumes there were lies the whole time
01:36:36.460
you would be hard pressed to find someone who's done any amount of research or paid any attention
01:36:40.960
who thinks yeah lee harvey oswald was a lone gumman he he wasn't working with anyone there was no
01:36:46.400
conspiracy and it's exactly how they all said i actually think everyone assumes the intel agencies
01:36:50.880
are entirely crooked and i think that's one reason trump won this election in the way he did
01:36:56.560
i think people are sick and tired of it so i have hope um but it takes more than hope it's going
01:37:01.780
to take concrete work to tear down these corrupt institutions that are trying to destroy and take
01:37:06.060
over the country so can i really go down the crazy trail with you i think you know when i saw this
01:37:12.280
when i saw when i saw the signal thing happening and i know that signal got some of its first funding
01:37:20.460
through radio free asia which you know trump has just put on the uh chopping block because it's clear
01:37:28.100
that money's not going to anything good um and then you have you know the the woman who was part of all
01:37:36.560
of the cia and state department color revolutions all over the world who's now at npr uh trying to
01:37:43.900
control that as you know propaganda was at wikipedia and now is on the board of directors
01:37:49.580
of signal you look at that story and you're like this is another cia operation that's all this is
01:37:56.720
this is another lie uh and another gotcha from the cia at least that's the way i feel
01:38:03.420
i don't know if it's true but it sure feels like that to me my first inclination anytime we get a new
01:38:11.400
story about what's going on in the intel community or some new scandal we're supposed to pay attention to
01:38:17.200
i just assume they're all lying that that is my default position before i know anything and and
01:38:23.620
i'll tell you i've kind of used that that rubric for the last like 15 years probably should use it
01:38:29.600
for the last 30 i don't think i'm i don't think i've struck out yet like it turns out to be a pretty
01:38:35.080
accurate way of of looking at this stuff so i don't think you're crazy on that at all um i smell
01:38:40.400
a rat basically every time we have a story about something from the intel community because it always
01:38:44.760
looks like they're trying to grab back power that doesn't belong to them exactly right so what do
01:38:50.180
people have to do because i i worry about you know well let me ask before you get there i was gonna say
01:38:56.560
i worry about our president but i now am questioning nixon and i'm not saying nixon was a good guy but
01:39:03.940
i'm questioning whether that was just a cia opera you know operation with watergates this never really
01:39:11.360
made sense why would he do that but i'm not saying he was a good guy either so i don't know maybe he
01:39:16.500
just did it because he was stupid but now that i'm looking at it the pattern seems to be the same
01:39:27.200
oh of course it was i mean you you had the burglars who were connected to the cia and then you had the
01:39:33.800
guy who you know was deep throat the super secret source who clearly didn't have an axe to grind or
01:39:38.440
anything was the deputy director at the fbi so like i of course you should smell a rat with
01:39:43.980
watergate and what i find crazy is you know again i wasn't live at the time but i look back they hated
01:39:50.540
kennedy because they didn't think he was sufficiently uh anti-communist so kennedy gets taken out and then
01:39:57.080
you know roughly 10 to 15 years later they decide to take out the guy who ended the vietnam war that
01:40:01.820
had been lying in their pockets the whole time again history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme
01:40:06.380
yeah that is the one thing it is always it's the military and intelligence industrial uh complex
01:40:13.840
that seems every time you threaten that thing oh and i should say the the fed as well every time you
01:40:19.840
threaten those things that is a a line you just don't cross uh without serious consequences and
01:40:26.100
you know i it's amazing to me that trump has survived what he has survived especially with the
01:40:32.740
entire intelligence agency the whole thing set up against him over and over and over again and then
01:40:40.600
this assassination which was completely just the idea of this young little boy um it is just completely
01:40:46.740
uh uh he's a lone wolf um uh are he how does he survive this sean
01:40:53.420
uh well you may think i'm crazy here uh divine grace is the only reason he survived that
01:41:00.520
and by the way he didn't just survive one he survived multiple ones i mean we've talked about
01:41:05.200
the guy at palm beach who was somehow camping out of his golf course for days and just happened to be
01:41:10.420
super connected to everything the cia and the military was doing in ukraine um yeah i'm sure that was just
01:41:17.440
a coincidence just like everything else was just a coincidence you know when people say that's a
01:41:23.140
conspiracy theory i seem to recall that this was something back in the 50s that the cia said you
01:41:30.700
know a way to stop people from finding the truth just call them conspiracy theories and rat people out
01:41:35.500
as conspiracy theorists and that'll just stop everybody in their tracks and so now you have
01:41:41.780
the population saying oh it's a conspiracy theory you're a conspiracy theorist and you're like
01:41:46.540
don't you realize you're using the tactics that they came up with to to to make sure that nobody's
01:41:54.640
talking about the possible truth it's odd it's odd yeah and they came up with that in the wake of
01:42:02.700
the jfk assassination to to get people to not talk about what we all knew happened um it's it once you
01:42:11.600
see it i feel like all of this is like those magic eye posters that were big in the 90s
01:42:16.280
where you had to stare at them for a little bit and you could see the 3d image if you crossed your
01:42:20.040
eyes just right but once you saw the image you could never unsee it that that's how i view all of
01:42:26.840
the um operations and psyops whatever you want to call them that these people run against the
01:42:31.760
american public once you've seen one of them you start to see the pattern everywhere and it's
01:42:38.020
unmistakable and you cannot unsee it at that point so is the is the is the intel community and
01:42:46.240
and this deep state uh are they just coordinating these useless are these useful idiots on the
01:42:54.540
street that are burning teslas and everything else are they you know people who are marked i love this
01:42:59.400
one the people who were marching on the first day that usa id was shut down nobody knows what usa id was
01:43:06.600
i mean and if you did know what it was you weren't a fan of it because everybody that did know what it
01:43:11.880
knew it was a cia front i mean uh is this just more of the deep state just using useful idiots
01:43:21.880
yeah and it's it's i think there's this whether you want to call it the ngo industrial complex
01:43:28.800
you know i don't know but you've got all the money that's kind of on the outside from soros types
01:43:34.640
everyone likes to make soros a boogeyman and obviously he's a bad dude with a lot of money
01:43:38.320
doing bad things but they've created this own little almost like self-licking ice cream cone
01:43:44.400
of organizations and street theater and shock troops that they see you know blm um antifa
01:43:52.320
all these protests nobody believes they're organic nobody so the only question is where's the money
01:43:58.500
and organization coming from i don't know but i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be the
01:44:03.320
same people who've been behind everything else for the last 30 years yeah i i really thought as
01:44:09.640
we were exposing it um back in my days of fox that it was the tides foundation and uh soros but it was
01:44:16.080

01:46:20.240
understand watching snow white this is the third time you've seen snow white right uh yes glenn it's
01:46:26.700
the third time i've seen it it's it's just that good and that's why i keep going back to the theater
01:46:31.140
over and over again to make sure i can support mainly i do it to support a free palestine
01:46:36.420
that's my goal here no i no i get it i get it that's important i think all of us and on our
01:46:44.540
children especially you know when our children pick a movie they want to go see they're like i
01:46:48.780
want to do the one who's supporting free palestine and then you take them to snow white and you're like
01:46:53.860
you got it and you know and all of the other lefty things that our kids want to support you know
01:46:58.660
the burning of tesla you know just go to see snow white and you'll you'll be helping them out i
01:47:03.260
prefer the old arrangement we used to have where teslas would set on fire by themselves that was
01:47:07.800
much right it was a much more enjoyable situation yeah now they seem to be all fixed and now we're
01:47:13.360
lighting them on fire manually i like the old timiness of the uh amazon vans that just burst into
01:47:20.440
flames and you can't put out you know it's like ah those days with tesla they don't come back
01:47:25.600
no no it's very true i don't know how a company survives this like with the amount of hate they're
01:47:34.360
getting right like all of their all of their buyers were left-wing buyers their entire time
01:47:40.740
and then on a dime now they seem to be all conservative buyers like can that happen can
01:47:46.020
you navigate that as a company hi if anybody can it'll be elon musk or donald trump i mean
01:47:54.660
could anyone could you can you imagine anyone other than donald trump surviving what that man
01:48:01.620
has survived in the last 12 years no including the bullet no i can't no no no it's amazing to watch
01:48:08.260
this is glenn beck all right kirk cameron is joining us uh here in just a few minutes he's
01:48:17.220
got something exciting to talk to you about education um listen i want to talk to you about
01:48:21.380
uh lear capital you know you could invest your your money in eggs but they'll probably perish but uh
01:48:28.920
and then when they start to come down in places well you should eat those eggs price is not uh something
01:48:34.920
you see price going down it's not something you expect to see in gold uh you know at least very
01:48:40.440
soon uh gold sounds a little old-fashioned in fact it is and that's the strength of it it is
01:48:46.200
the ultimate old-fashioned money source i mean besides clamshells and this pretty rock over here
01:48:52.380
gold is uh is as old-fashioned as it can get and that's because the world keeps coming back to gold
01:48:59.520
uh i mean it's in the bible and it will be in our history books you know on what we actually did to
01:49:05.700
either survive this or what we didn't do and the reason why we perished as our dollar falls more and
01:49:11.920

01:50:16.940
uh our next guest good friend of the program just overall great guy kirk cameron is on with us actor
01:50:22.360
producer um he is with uh brave books and it's now braveplus.com uh and they launched something
01:50:31.860
yesterday that he was on this program talking about oh geez i don't even know six months ago maybe
01:50:37.720
um and he was talking about iggy and mr kirk which is kind of a uh mr rogers for modern day um and it
01:50:48.400
it talks about the basic principles it teaches us to our little kids uh you know self-control honesty
01:50:54.600
putting others first etc etc uh all the things that mr rogers did welcome kirk cameron how are you
01:51:00.680
glenn it's so good to talk to you this morning thanks for having me on yeah we're so excited
01:51:05.520
iggy uh has landed and and kids all over america are so excited and uh i'm doing my best to honor
01:51:15.020
mr rogers with this new kids tv show how old do you know i meant to look this up before you came on
01:51:20.840
do you know how old mr rogers was when he started compared to your age now i don't either um but you
01:51:27.980
know he had years and years to look that up for me will you he had years and years in front of kids
01:51:33.600
raising kids and became this just beloved figure and i remember i mean he you know he started you
01:51:39.740
know i don't know i don't even know if if he was around when i was a kid i i'm sure he was because
01:51:44.920
it was all black and white the early stuff um but uh you know i i only found mr rogers when i was
01:51:51.460
older and i'm like wow this is weird because now in looking back you know nobody was that nice nobody
01:51:58.160
was now you suspect people that are that nice and so and so sweet right but that guy was truly an
01:52:05.000
amazing uh hero a godly godly man and really a respected guy by everybody he was 40 by the way glenn
01:52:15.800
40 he was 40 how old are you kirk i'm 54 54 um yeah so he he was 40 years old when he started this
01:52:24.220
uh and uh to step into kind of a little bit of his shoes must be a little intimidating it is and you
01:52:32.340
you know in this show for kids um we're teaching clear moral lessons like he did like forgiveness
01:52:39.420
lessons on telling the truth lessons on uh overcoming your fears uh we're even diving into
01:52:45.540
cultural and political issues we're teaching children about the dangers of socialism and about
01:52:51.140
the sanctity of life we're even having an episode uh number four it is on identity and mr rogers
01:52:58.940
didn't really need to talk about some of those things back in his day but today we've got disney's
01:53:04.080
snow white and we've got nickelodeon and other shows that are introducing stuff like you know
01:53:09.380
non-binary big birds and we've got all sorts of crazy stuff that kids are trying to wrestle
01:53:15.280
with so we need to address these issues in a way that's safe for kids that parents trust and it
01:53:21.520
also uh ignites those little imaginations for the good and imparts virtue and faith and that's what
01:53:28.500
we're doing we are we're pumping so much garbage into our systems i've heard you talk about you know
01:53:34.120
it's like food um but it's true we're pumping garbage food into us and expecting our bodies to work
01:53:40.900
we're putting garbage drugs into our bodies and thinking it's going to work out uh well and garbage
01:53:47.420
into our minds and uh it it's it's not gonna it's not gonna work out well unless we turn this corner
01:53:53.780
yeah that's right and and i'm actually really thankful for all of the the the weird woke and
01:54:01.960
twisted things that have come down because in a sense it's the wake-up call we've needed
01:54:07.380
and now parents are leaning in they're waking up they're speaking up and there's an opportunity
01:54:13.360
with so many things going on politically in the country with trump and doge and all these other
01:54:17.820
things where all of a sudden these governments uh top-down institutions are are now going to be
01:54:25.360
drained to a degree and there is a need for parents and communities and churches to work at the
01:54:32.400
grassroots level to provide better alternatives and so i think the timing of this is perfect
01:54:37.460
i'm so excited it could be the most important project i've done and it's available everywhere
01:54:42.440
for everybody to see if you've got kids or grandkids and you want to nourish their hearts and minds when
01:54:47.840
they are in the middle of screen time just check out iggy and mr kirk and it's on brave plus the app
01:54:56.520
on your tv or brave plus dot com and it's not the only thing don't you have like strawberry
01:55:01.580
shortcake i'm trying to look you had a bunch of stuff yeah strawberry shortcake bob the builder is
01:55:05.800
on there as well so it's all it's all these great character building shows yeah yeah that's right
01:55:11.840
that's what's really cool about brave plus uh we're not waiting for disney to to pick up the clue phone
01:55:17.400
and figure out the stuff that parents actually want and can try um they've created their own
01:55:23.520
streaming platform and really high standards so if it's over stimulating that's as bad for your kids
01:55:29.460
as processed foods uh if it's if it's if it's not underlining uh good moral traditional american and
01:55:39.120
godly values it doesn't make the cut but there's over 50 shows on there and you can watch the first
01:55:44.780
three episodes of my new show iggy and mr kirk for free if you want to watch the rest we've got a whole
01:55:50.240
season complete along with 50 other shows like you said bob the builder strawberry shortcake um
01:55:56.740
madeline uh so many great shows there that are safe without a second thought and your kids are
01:56:03.100
going to love them so let's uh can we just go through because i really want parents or grandparents
01:56:09.140
that have little kids to understand what you're doing because this is so important we have to rebuild
01:56:14.800
education from the ground up and entertainment uh and entertainment that you can actually feel
01:56:23.180
comfortable in leaving the room for five minutes and you're not your kids aren't going to be coming
01:56:28.280
back and you know speaking a language that you're like wait wait a minute you're you're confused in
01:56:33.060
your own body why um so can we just go over the first couple of excerpt uh episodes first one is
01:56:38.260
injured bird the lesson there is yeah this is injured bird this is all about the sacredness of
01:56:44.980
life all life including unborn life and iggy is uh essentially really upset at this bird that has
01:56:54.340
snuck into his treehouse and is stealing all of his worms he wants to go fishing and and the bird is
01:57:00.620
stealing his bait what he doesn't know is that this is a mama bird who's collecting worms because the
01:57:06.680
little chicks in her eggs in the nest are about to hatch and he learns that these little lives
01:57:14.700
inside these eggs are precious and he's got to learn to take care of them but then the episode
01:57:20.280
continues on uh to value disabled life and elderly life and so it's a whole show about the sanctity of
01:57:28.840
all life what an appropriate first episode yeah so good yeah and then uh episode number four is
01:57:38.700
dealing with identity and in the middle of it mr kirk that's the mr rogers character reads to iggy
01:57:45.120
uh the little adorable green iguana a book called elephants are not birds and this is a show about
01:57:53.360
identity where culture the vulture tries to deceive iggy into thinking that if he were somebody else
01:58:01.820
if he was someone other than what god made him to be he would be he would be liked and loved more by
01:58:08.660
his family and friends and so we have this whole show helping iggy to discover that god made him just
01:58:16.300
the way he is and that when he embraces who he is then he can fulfill the purpose that god has given
01:58:22.520
him have you heard of uh have you seen any of the research on this or talk to any of the viewers and
01:58:29.260
discovered something that you didn't know was going to be a benefit of this or something that
01:58:35.200
you you were surprised by you're like oh my gosh i'm so glad i didn't even think of that but i'm so glad
01:58:41.380
this is happening with the audience you know more and more data is coming out that is showing that
01:58:49.860
children's brains are negatively impacted by most of the children's programming coming out because at
01:58:57.260
the end of the day uh just like junk food is designed to be cheap and addictive and most children
01:59:04.260
shows are the same way kids are staring like zombies at the screen because they've been designed
01:59:10.540
to uh addict them through non-diegetic sounds that are put in in post-production it's not part of the
01:59:19.380
world they're actually looking at with flashing lights and jump cuts every two to three seconds
01:59:23.680
it's a literal brain hack on your kids to keep them glued to the screen and they say nine minutes of that
01:59:30.360
has measurable negative impact on their cognitive development and so we're going the opposite way back to
01:59:37.860
mr rogers where it's we take our time and we lean into relationships and develop trust and impart virtue
01:59:46.200
the old-fashioned way how difficult was that to do because you know everybody in the media they didn't
01:59:55.660
start out well some of them probably did but they didn't start out with nefarious purpose they're just like
02:00:00.500
we got to get these kids to watch the show how are we going to do it well if we add this and this
02:00:04.580
and now to go the opposite and say we don't want to use any of those tricks um that had to be a little
02:00:09.760
scary yeah it was but it's like you glenn you're a guy who says no my bottom line is i want to do the
02:00:19.280
right thing right by god and by my family i want to love people i want to champion what's good and true
02:00:26.280
and beautiful and at the end of the day that's why i like working with brave books is that's really
02:00:31.340
their bottom line their company they they they don't want to go bankrupt they want to make money but
02:00:35.760
more than that uh this was an eye doctor who dropped that business to become the ceo of a book
02:00:42.500
publishing company and now a whole media company because he's got kids and nobody else is doing it
02:00:48.280
so so that's that's why we're doing it the way that we're doing it yeah it's scary but at the end of
02:00:53.960
the day i i've got to answer for everything that i'm a part of kirk i am i i'm so proud to be your
02:01:00.940
friend and to see what you guys are doing and what brave is doing uh i just think there's just nothing
02:01:06.640
more important than than beginning the journey that is going to be a very long journey and generational
02:01:14.140
journey but beginning the journey right now to put things back in order it is it's the most important
02:01:21.240

02:05:40.360
all right you sick freak welcome to the program i gotta just leave you with this i mean it's nice to
02:05:50.380
see uh you know john stewart join the club finally one of the things that's really uh big on social media
02:05:56.080
today is uh john stewart figuring out finally exactly how the u.s government is working
02:06:02.320
thanks to donald trump watch states must submit a five-year action plan so the states kind of go back
02:06:08.500
and they kind of think about how they're going to do this and they don't just say okay you know thank
02:06:12.200
you for the money we're going to spend it and you can see how it worked out later
02:06:15.840
we're like here's our five-year action plan then the fcc uh must publish the broadband
02:06:23.040
data maps before ntia allocates funds so having done the nofo the letters of intent the the request
02:06:31.100
for planning grants then the review approval and awarding of the planning grants then the five-year
02:06:37.160
action plans in between that the federal government has to put forward a map saying where it thinks we
02:06:43.120
need rural broadband subsidies and then of course the states need an opportunity to challenge the
02:06:48.940
map for accuracy and you can imagine this doesn't all happen in like a day okay step eight is states
02:06:57.180
must submit an initial proposal an initial proposal to the ntia then is that the result of their five
02:07:06.420
million dollar planning fund this i assume but then what was the five-year plan and what the fcc did they
02:07:12.180
apply for that is what donald trump is attempting to fix that is true i don't know that uh this is
02:07:20.440
for some reason a surprise to john stewart but we're all learning together boys and girls
