Yesterday, the Super Bowl happened, and in case you watched it, maybe it was just me, Bad Bunny and TPUSA.
00:04:36.760
And I want to talk to you also about the NFL and what message is the NFL sending, okay?
00:04:45.240
Last night, Bad Bunny comes on stage, and he is getting the most prestigious venue of the year.
00:04:54.600
There is no place that a star wants to be more than playing at the Super Bowl.
00:05:00.140
When you've played at the Super Bowl, that's kind of a sign that you are a cultural icon, okay?
00:05:09.100
I mean, he's won a Grammy, but so did Milli Vanilli.
00:05:13.680
So he's won a Grammy, but has anybody listened to his music, really?
00:05:19.600
Well, yeah, I guess he's charted all the way up to number 85 on the Billboard charts.
00:05:38.340
That's more than twice the distance from number one.
00:05:48.900
That is, that's not playing a role in the culture of America.
00:05:58.060
And for a long time, it has represented our culture as we just fall into just Babylon, I guess.
00:06:09.140
So it has reflected our culture in all of the worst ways.
00:06:16.980
First of all, there was no English on American television at the biggest American sporting event for about 10 minutes.
00:06:27.600
No English, no English, not a word of English, except God bless America, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Panama.
00:06:48.200
But maybe that's what Roger Goodell is trying to say.
00:06:56.680
So, you know, NFL is trying to get people in Europe, but Europe culture, that culture is over.
00:07:01.740
Um, so maybe he's just saying we're going to just, we're going to be the Western Hemisphere sport.
00:07:08.560
Good luck with soccer, but, you know, go ahead, go ahead.
00:07:16.540
Green Day comes on and Green Day doesn't do what they always do.
00:07:21.140
I mean, unless, unless they have a Super Bowl contract, then, then they're not so rebellious, I guess.
00:07:29.960
And if you don't speak Spanish, which I don't, um, you had to go back and read the lyrics of what was being said.
00:07:39.960
Now, because I don't speak Spanish, I just have to assume none of these lyrics were said on national television.
00:07:48.060
Because if I do speak Spanish, I would be writing the FCC if I had children in the room.
00:07:55.840
But these are the lyrics that supposedly were said, and I can only read a few of them.
00:08:02.580
Yes, so that your panties get wet, get horny and versatile, more slutty than Betty Boop.
00:08:09.480
Uh, the one who got horny mammy was you stay killing with you.
00:08:33.220
I see you with a lot of jewels and they want to stay, push it in.
00:08:37.560
Uh, I see there, you really active and they want to stay, push it in.
00:08:42.060
Because you look hot because you look hot because you look hot, push it in completely.
00:08:47.720
And then it goes to big A's and big T's and big P's and big C's.
00:09:01.220
Here's number one that Robert, uh, um, Roger Goodell is saying that's the American culture.
00:09:08.720
Because remember the Superbowl is the one time where we all gather as families, older, younger.
00:09:17.220
We all have chips and dip and we all watch the game.
00:09:21.160
We watch the commercials, but it's a family night.
00:09:38.680
He completely transformed the look of everything.
00:09:44.740
But if those were the lyrics, um, no, I don't think that's appropriate.
00:09:54.100
Uh, then he went on to, you know, uh, you know, make a comment about how the Puerto Rican culture is being appropriated.
00:10:03.060
And during the, you know, during the, uh, hurricane, you know, I guess America, you know, wasn't there.
00:10:11.560
I, I, I mean, honestly, I don't care that much, but let me show you on the flip side, what TPUSA was saying.
00:10:21.200
And everybody got offended at first because Kid Rock started his set with a song that came out in 1999.
00:10:30.820
It talks about topless dancers, drinking crooked cops, you know, bastards, all of this stuff.
00:10:36.540
And everybody's kind of like, wait, what is Kid Rock doing?
00:10:41.000
But then if you follow the story arc, what happened?
00:10:45.920
There's an acoustic set with two people playing a Christian hymn, which is, was meant to be, uh, this according to John Root on X meant to be a bridge, an emotional bridge.
00:10:59.220
Comes back to Kid Rock with his, uh, with his stage name, instead introduced back to the stage as Robert Ritchie, which is his real name.
00:11:09.180
Then he plays a revised version of till you can't, which now the revised version ends with lyrics about Jesus Christ.
00:11:19.180
And it talks about his sacrifice on the Christ and encourages people to follow Christ, read their Bibles, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:44.660
Well, I mean, the Superbowl is always the biggest of the year.
00:11:48.320
Probably have a hundred million people watching globally.
00:11:56.860
I would imagine watching the, um, the halftime show, maybe, maybe as much as a hundred million.
00:12:05.940
But today, if you go and you look at the halftime show on YouTube, you'll see that it has 11 million views.
00:12:11.940
Last night, TPUSA had about 6 million people watching it live.
00:12:21.100
However, if you go to YouTube and you see the number of views today, 12 hours later, that number is now over 25 million.
00:12:33.880
You want to talk about affecting the American culture because you can deride, uh, you can deride TPUSA all you want.
00:12:41.800
But, uh, let me just give you some perspective of what that actually means.
00:12:48.400
Do you know how many people, uh, would watch, uh, you know, any of these, any of these, uh, shows like, uh, I don't know, American Idol.
00:13:02.000
The average American Idol was getting about 6 million views.
00:13:11.600
They, on their biggest night of all time, they had 38 million views for the finale.
00:13:19.240
Their end of the show would go about 30 million views.
00:13:24.360
Notice what I said in the last 12 hours, TPUSA's halftime show is up almost to where their final, uh, episodes of American Idol were.
00:13:41.560
By the way, Matlock, which is, I guess, one of the biggest shows on CBS, 9.6 million views.
00:13:56.720
So online, they did almost as much as, well, definitely top five TV shows.
00:14:06.860
And in the first 12 hours did almost exactly what American Idol was doing when it was at its peak.
00:14:22.380
Now, let me tell you about the culture that the NFL is pushing because they sent us a few messages and I'll get to that in 60 seconds.
00:14:35.160
If somebody physically attacks you out of the blue right now, would you be ready?
00:14:39.760
Most people don't spend their days thinking about personal safety.
00:14:43.900
Life is supposed to feel pretty normal, but normal can shift quickly.
00:14:47.600
And when it does, you don't really get a warning or, you know, a timeout to figure out your options.
00:14:52.580
That's why a lot of people are choosing to carry a Burna Launcher.
00:14:57.580
It's an option that fires powerful pepper, tear gas, and kinetic projectiles.
00:15:02.640
And it's designed to help stop a threat at a distance without using a firearm.
00:15:09.680
This makes it an option for people who want an extra layer of protection without taking the responsibility of actually carrying a gun.
00:15:16.360
It's about having a tool where you hope you're never going to need it.
00:15:19.580
But if you do need it, situation goes bad, you've got something that actually works and puts the bad guy on the ground for about 45 minutes.
00:15:26.360
Enough time for you to go away and police to arrive.
00:15:29.580
You know, I think maybe, maybe even in San Francisco, 45 minutes, police would arrive.
00:15:41.120
Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
00:16:05.180
Let's just say you're invited to somebody's, invited to somebody's house.
00:16:10.620
And it's, it's, it's a really big night at their house.
00:16:13.600
They do this party every single year and they've invited you to come for years and it's always been great.
00:16:19.640
You know, you brought your friends and your family, your neighbors, and you bought whatever Tupperware he's selling literally and figuratively.
00:16:27.860
And you've helped make the house the place that everybody wants to be because you've been going, you've been sharing it with your friends, right?
00:16:35.760
And you don't agree on every, on everything, but that's never been the point.
00:16:39.260
The point is for one night, everybody's welcome.
00:16:41.180
Everybody just comes together and has a good time at this host's party, right?
00:16:45.600
But this time, this time, when you get there, instead of hospitality, he starts lecturing you.
00:16:53.140
As soon as you get in, he starts lecturing you.
00:16:55.380
Instead of warmth, he mocks the things that you and your friends hold dear.
00:17:03.840
He signals that your values are outdated, embarrassing, maybe even dangerous.
00:17:09.380
You've brought your kids, but this year he's bringing strippers and he's been going that way for a while.
00:17:14.980
But now it's just completely over the top and you look around the room and some people are nodding.
00:17:21.680
Other people are quiet, but you and your friends now didn't expect to feel this in a place that you've been welcome.
00:17:30.020
You know, I mean, it's been going that way for a while, but now, I mean, it's really kind of hostile.
00:17:36.120
Then the host gathers everybody for the centerpiece of the night moment.
00:17:39.560
He's been hyping all year and he delivers it in a language that you don't speak at all.
00:17:54.060
No acknowledgement that half the room doesn't speak that language.
00:18:00.600
And while you're trying to figure out, is this guy, does he have different motives or is he just careless and thoughtless?
00:18:06.300
He keeps going, unbothered by your confusion, unbothered by, you know, your silence or your discomfort.
00:18:14.900
At that point, you're not asking political questions anymore.
00:18:18.920
You're just asking a human one, or you should be.
00:18:27.640
Because he's insulting me and my family and my values.
00:18:34.020
He's cutting me out of the biggest part of the night by doing it in a language I don't speak.
00:18:40.680
Was this a shared night or was I just invited to have my money taken from me and then be corrected?
00:18:47.680
Not tolerated, not welcomed, but to pay the bill and then to make sure that I understand I don't really belong.
00:18:55.400
Or was I invited to be mocked and humiliated by this elitist host who wants all of his cool friends to see him mock me like all bullies do?
00:19:11.340
I think that's the moment a lot of Americans experienced during the Super Bowl last night.
00:19:31.500
You're the host of a stupid game where people make millions of dollars based on my attendance and my watching you.
00:19:40.180
And the host, as the host, your first duty is not to instruct the guests.
00:19:46.720
It's to make space where wildly different people can sit at the same table without feeling targeted, diminished, or deliberately excluded.
00:19:54.720
And when you, as the host, repeatedly signal contempt for me, my values, my friends' values, I'm not going to riot.
00:20:13.220
I'll go find another room, which is what happened last night at halftime.
00:20:18.080
Anything that can be replaced that you're doing will be replaced.
00:20:26.360
And once that happens, the host, you know, you can keep the house, but you lose the gathering unless you're a drug dealer and you know that everyone that you've invited is addicted to your product and they'll never stop and kick the habit.
00:20:48.960
You know, six million people last night peeled away from the network.
00:20:54.380
Five million, six million peeled away from the network, went online to watch something that doesn't hate them.
00:21:04.700
Eventually, you're going to figure out you're incorrect and it's going to be devastating to you.
00:21:10.300
So if you're asking what all of this means today, it's simple.
00:21:18.080
The NFL declared last night that America is over as you understand it, that the dominant culture is going to be Spanish speaking.
00:21:32.180
It's not today, but that may be true at some point.
00:21:40.220
And the NFL was saying, we as Americans, we as the NFL, the National Football League, have decided to declare, you're outdated.
00:21:57.120
And they did it with a guy who charted number 85.
00:22:13.580
If I speak Spanish and those were the lyrics last night, I have to tell you, I am outraged.
00:22:22.900
Those couldn't have been the lyrics because the network didn't bleep any of the words.
00:22:34.320
At best, if you were watching last night, you felt a little managed.
00:22:46.500
And the question that everybody at the NFL should ask, any host should ask before the house empties out is this.
00:22:52.260
If I were treated this way in somebody else's house, would I come back?
00:22:59.960
The only logical answer to that for the NFL is, yeah, if all of my clients are drug addicts.
00:23:07.780
If I know they'll be jonesing so bad, I can do, listen to this.
00:23:13.700
The only reason why a host would do this to the people he's invited into his house is because they think you're a drug addict that is addicted to their product and they can do anything to you and you won't care.
00:23:40.580
And the Super Bowl of all night should know the difference here.
00:23:49.920
They preached to us last night at the Super Bowl.
00:23:55.640
You can tell a lot about your dog, what's going on, just by watching the little things.
00:23:59.600
You know, when they get up, how eager are they for a walk?
00:24:11.460
It's usually a small, a bunch of small little issues.
00:24:15.040
And that adds up over time because of the nutritional gaps in your dog's diet.
00:24:19.940
That's why many dog owners are now adding Rough Greens to their dog's food.
00:24:23.180
It's a nutritional supplement designed to boost what they're already eating with the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, and all of the other key nutrients that support overall health.
00:24:31.900
From digestion to energy levels to skin and coat, it's about helping their body work the way it's built to.
00:24:44.940
And Rough Greens is a simple way to be there for them.
00:25:02.100
Add Rough Greens and watch the health benefits come back to life.
00:25:05.800
Time is running out to become a Torch founding member.
00:25:08.140
When you see what we're building, you will wish you'd been there from the start.
00:25:24.900
You know, last night after the Super Bowl, I started thinking about watching the Super
00:25:33.000
Bowl with my dad and my family at the house and what it was like and how everything was
00:25:43.700
I mean, I want to talk to you about culture and childhood.
00:25:47.840
Not childhood is an idea, but what it actually felt like.
00:25:57.040
And it doesn't matter what language you speak or, you know, where you're from.
00:26:01.840
The culture we all should be striving for is the one that doesn't expose, you know, children
00:26:07.760
to grinding and songs about push it in, push it in, push it in.
00:26:12.240
When did we stop saying, this is not appropriate?
00:26:21.620
You know, in the 1980s, when I was growing up, 70s and 80s, you got up in the morning
00:26:27.320
and you walked to school alone, maybe more with your sister or brother.
00:26:34.540
Maybe it was only a mile, but you didn't think twice about it.
00:26:38.580
When you got old enough, you took your bike, but you didn't need to take your lock for your
00:26:44.840
You leaned it against the rack or fence or, you know, a tree.
00:26:48.800
And it was still there when you came back because the culture was different.
00:26:56.740
You'd dig around for the prize at the bottom of the box.
00:26:59.540
That mattered, by the way, you got dressed fast.
00:27:03.020
Not because anybody told you to, but because the day was waiting.
00:27:16.020
I don't even remember what we did all day in the summer.
00:27:21.000
I honestly don't know, but we were out every day.
00:27:37.300
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so it rained a lot there.
00:27:40.220
But on rainy Saturdays, I remember if we were lucky, we'd turn on channel 13.
00:27:45.800
Not that there were actually 13 channels, kids, but, you know, there was four.
00:27:51.080
Channel four, channel five, channel seven, and 13.
00:27:57.680
It wasn't one of the networks, so it didn't have any new shows.
00:27:59.880
But once in a while on a Saturday, they would run like a Twilight Zone marathon or a Godzilla marathon.
00:28:06.160
And all of my friends would come over and we'd all, you know, sit on the floor.
00:28:09.180
You know, it's raining outside and we'd eat snacks.
00:28:11.320
And honestly, the snacks that I think we probably bought ourselves.
00:28:14.920
I mean, we could get cookies, but, you know, snacks.
00:28:23.400
But, you know, our moms didn't buy chips and soda.
00:28:26.300
That was something special, like, say, for Super Bowl days.
00:28:33.080
But today's, by today's standards, I think maybe we were poor, but I didn't know it.
00:28:45.060
I had friends whose dad, one friend, his dad was a lawyer, later a judge.
00:28:54.740
Their houses were bigger than ours, but not entirely.
00:29:00.420
I guess the difference was they took vacations to exotic places like California, where we didn't take vacations.
00:29:07.820
You know, summer vacation with my family growing up, my grandparents' farm, where you worked.
00:29:13.880
You know, but even there, after you worked, I mean, we were allowed to play.
00:29:19.620
And, you know, on days we could play, we would just leave the house and wouldn't come home until the streetlights were on.
00:29:30.480
And maybe it's because we didn't stress over so much.
00:29:35.740
I mean, kids talk about global warming today and the stress.
00:29:38.540
You don't know what the stress is like, global warming.
00:29:40.580
I don't even know if we can have families when we grow up.
00:29:54.220
Let me tell you about the global warming that we were worried about as kids.
00:29:57.860
Not a temperature rising a fraction of a degree over a century, but the temperature rising 10,000 degrees in 12 minutes, okay?
00:30:09.560
And we'd go to school and we'd practice drills and, you know, we'd hear about it on the news.
00:30:14.640
We lived in the quiet knowledge that the world could end before dinner time, before the streetlights came on.
00:30:28.700
We weren't trained to march in the streets against nuclear war.
00:30:32.400
It wasn't brought up to us as kids every day because we would have freaked out.
00:30:41.840
We concentrated on the little things like the sound of the screen door slamming shut as we were running off the porch to start the day.
00:30:49.760
And I don't want to sound, you know, like an old guy, but I am an old guy.
00:31:04.180
I mean, it sounds boring when you say it out loud, but we were never bored.
00:31:09.320
And I mean, partly because if you ever said, I'm bored out loud, your parents or an adult would immediately find work for you to do.
00:31:40.800
I remember when we got cable TV and we thought, wow, we're going to have so many channels.
00:31:53.740
We had one in our hallway that had a really, really long curly cord that was so stretched out because it wasn't far enough away from the family for my sisters.
00:32:03.120
So they would stretch it all the way around the corner and sit in a closet and they would talk.
00:32:08.500
I remember a friend of mine in high school got her own phone line in her own bedroom.
00:32:17.720
And I'd call her and we'd talk for hours and sometimes we'd be on the phone, but we wouldn't be talking.
00:32:30.900
We didn't talk about sex the way kids talk about it now.
00:32:41.120
There was nothing demanding our attention every five seconds.
00:32:56.520
But as these things happened, every invention felt exciting, like progress, like confidence in the future.
00:33:04.940
When cell phones came along, man, it's going to save us time.
00:33:09.040
Dad can do work in the car and perhaps leave the office earlier.
00:33:14.040
It wasn't that dad could work all the time, which is exactly what happened.
00:33:21.440
So if they were out at dinner or a movie or playing golf, the hospital could reach him and call him in for emergencies.
00:33:30.480
When social media was introduced to us, it was promised that its main gift would help us reconnect with our friends that we had lost touch with.
00:33:38.900
Or we could become more deeply involved and aware of what our family and extended family were doing.
00:33:46.840
Has social media brought our families closer together or broken our families up?
00:33:52.000
And most of our time online is not with friends at all.
00:33:55.660
That word doesn't even have meaning anymore, does it?
00:34:01.160
When I was growing up, followers meant something entirely different.
00:34:04.400
It meant you followed a religious leader, as in, I'm a follower of Christ, or you were a follower of people, and it tended to mean that you were about to be in a cult.
00:34:17.780
What started out as being a way to reconnect with our friends and family now has us texting friends who are sitting right next to us and scrolling while the family is together.
00:34:28.920
I'm not sure things are getting better anymore because we don't seem to set any boundaries at all.
00:34:43.720
Did anybody set a boundary last night watching this at the Super Bowl?
00:34:47.540
All these modern conveniences, they're not making life simpler, they're making it heavier, they're making it more complex, harder to keep up, harder to find real friendship, real people.
00:35:06.360
We walk around with a phone that sounds like a casino in our hands.
00:35:09.880
It's in our hands or it's in our pocket every day, and it sounds like a casino.
00:35:13.140
It's got all the bells and whistles, all the endorphin rushes, you know, just, and it's built, it's designed.
00:35:22.120
It's designed to keep you pulling the arm of the new slot machine.
00:35:30.000
And we're walking around with these phones and claiming that we're poor, but everybody seems to have a phone that's at least $500.
00:35:37.840
I mean, I guess, I mean, in my childhood, people that live like the average person lives today would have been, would have seen wealthy beyond imagination.
00:35:54.520
And maybe that's because we just didn't buy things on credit at the time, you know?
00:35:59.220
So now everybody's buying everything on credit because they want it now.
00:36:03.180
And so we all just look wealthy, except we're just deeper in debt.
00:36:17.300
And the more I look at our society, I think maybe the real difference between my childhood and my children's childhood is just clarity.
00:36:35.300
Because there were monsters under the bed when I was growing up.
00:36:44.180
But when we did outgrow those monsters that were hiding in our closets, we knew what monsters were real and what monsters were not real.
00:36:55.400
And today the battle is not between good and evil.
00:37:05.300
We're raising children in a world that no longer knows the difference between the two.
00:37:27.680
Maybe, maybe the real value, because if you read scriptures, it's always saying, remember, remember.
00:37:39.200
I think it's one of the most used words in scriptures.
00:37:43.360
Maybe the value of remembering isn't about going backward.
00:37:51.360
It's just noticing the things that we once had to help us remember the things we may have lost along the way that were good.
00:38:10.800
Meals that didn't need to be photographed first.
00:38:16.340
It's tough because you can't pass these lessons on to the youth of today.
00:38:23.860
Just like our parents couldn't pass this on to us because you won't listen.
00:38:28.760
You know, parents used to say the same things to us about, you know, their childhood, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:38:36.140
The lessons, perhaps, of our childhood and our kids' childhood only come after you grow up.
00:38:44.720
The kind of growing up that isn't dependent on age but on perspective.
00:38:50.400
And when we begin to remember the kinds of things you haven't thought about for years until one day they all come back,
00:38:59.080
it's then that you realize, wow, those things were important and they shaped me more than I ever realized.
00:39:13.240
Some of the most important memories are probably sitting in a box right now.
00:39:16.620
Old VHS tapes, camcorder cassettes, photo albums, film reels, you know, moments from years ago that you can see in your mind
00:39:23.420
but you can't actually watch or share because who's got the technology anymore?
00:39:29.140
They help you take those old home movies and photos and have them all digitized so you can see them again
00:39:35.580
You pack them up, you send them in, and their team handles carefully all of the work,
00:39:40.800
transferring everything into digital formats that you can actually use today,
00:39:48.960
Film fades, tapes break, pictures get damaged or fade.
00:39:52.660
History is so important, and you are the historian of your family.
00:40:03.400
Watch the story of your life come back to life with your whole family watching.
00:40:25.740
But around here, it's still standard equipment.
00:40:33.080
One of the first purchases I ever made, when I made any money at all, was a really nice bed.
00:40:47.780
And I had this bed for a really, really long time,
00:40:51.080
to the point where my wife was driving me crazy, saying that we need to get rid of it.
00:40:59.380
And I finally made the leap into something new.
00:41:07.780
A ghost bed has made a huge difference for tons and tons of people.
00:41:11.960
Their mattresses are built to keep you cool all night.
00:41:15.700
Because, I don't know, I don't want to be overheated.
00:41:17.300
I don't want to be wrestling with the blankets.
00:41:19.120
And the way they layer their materials, it gives you support without the sinking.
00:41:30.240
And the next thing you know, you wake up feeling like your sleep finally did what it's supposed to do, which is give you total and complete rest.
00:41:37.180
Ghost bed has more than 60,000 positive reviews, award-winning designs, and 101-night sleep trial.
00:41:43.260
Because, you know, people notice the difference right away.
00:41:45.700
But you want to make sure that it's something that you can live with on a night-to-night basis.
00:41:50.280
Every ghost bed comes with that 101-night sleep trial.
00:41:52.880
If you don't love your mattress, return it for free and get your money back.
00:41:55.820

Hey, Grock, how many leeches is too many leeches?
00:43:16.500
On November 19th, the Epstein File Transparency Act was signed into law.
00:43:34.640
Three million files have still not been released.
00:43:58.240
Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi it's time for the truth.
00:44:00.700
I will tell you, remember I told you on Friday they came out and said,
00:44:04.580
Hey, that noose that we found wasn't really the noose.
00:44:14.380
Most of us don't really think about how fragile our access to medication really is until something
00:44:21.560
A closed pharmacy, a back order, a storm that cuts off a town for a week.
00:44:26.160
When you and your family depend on certain medication, that gap isn't just inconvenient.
00:44:35.620
It's a doctor prepared emergency supply of commonly prescribed antibiotics and critical medications
00:44:40.440
that you can keep on hand before you need them.
00:44:44.400
It's about being responsible in a world where supply chains and systems break down more often
00:44:52.460
You fill out a short online consultation, a licensed medical professional review it, and
00:44:57.000
your emergency supply arrives at your door labeled, explained, and ready for the moment.
00:45:04.300
When you order your Jace case today, you can use the promo code BECK.
00:45:10.720
You'll get a discount if you do that at jace, J-A-S-E.com, promo code BECK.

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:46:14.360
Today, I want to talk to you about the F-22s that did not show up for the Super Bowl yesterday.
00:46:25.480
Gee, I wonder where those F-22s might be needed.
00:46:31.980
And also, you know, I talked to you on Friday when we found out that there was like this
00:46:48.140
There was this orange shirt of some sort going up the stairs right around the time that we think that Jeffrey Epstein may have been killed.
00:47:04.700
And we just find out about it after we were told by everybody there's nothing to see here.
00:47:14.300
Okay, well, then that's not nothing to see here.
00:47:20.880
Then we found out on Friday that, oh, by the way, the noose.
00:47:24.120
Yeah, the noose we found in his room was not the noose that actually he used to hang himself.
00:47:29.720
Well, what happened to the noose he used to hang himself?
00:47:36.080
Wait until you hear the latest that came out over the weekend.
00:47:54.780
You know, you know how people say if you don't like where the country's headed, do something about it.
00:47:59.220
Well, most of us hear that and think, you know, big things, elections and rallies and, you know, moving to another state.
00:48:04.600
But what if some of the most powerful choices are the ones you're already making?
00:48:09.360
You know, every month you send money to a wireless company and you don't even think about it.
00:48:14.060
But that company most likely turns around and spends that money someplace else.
00:48:18.820
And for a lot of carriers, it goes to causes and political efforts that you absolutely despise and are fighting every day against.
00:48:32.800
You just don't want to take the time to switch cell phone companies.
00:48:36.700
So the loyalty is built in, whether you like it or not.
00:48:41.000
That's why they can devalue your principles and what you believe, because they know you're never going to change.
00:48:49.540
Hey, big mobile phone companies, can you hear us now?
00:48:53.740
That's why I switched to patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
00:48:57.360
Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
00:49:00.400
Use the promo code Beck free month of service at patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
00:49:15.100
We found out that the F-22s that were supposed to be going, uh, in kind of an interesting detail.
00:49:22.520
I mean, Donald Trump's not trying to keep this secret.
00:49:26.360
And they made the special patch with the F-22 shadow on it, knowing that part of the conversation would be, wow, the F-22s were supposed to be here, but they weren't here.
00:49:41.700
Well, I can tell you, I think I know where they're going, but let me tell you where the C-17s are.
00:49:48.720
So the C-17s, uh, these, these are major, massive planes.
00:49:56.240
A hundred and twelve C-17s are on their way to the Middle East.
00:50:15.680
Well, those C-17s deliver massive, huge amounts of equipment and troops as well.
00:50:23.040
I don't think that we are putting troops on the ground.
00:50:27.340
Um, but, uh, uh, you know, we're putting something on the ground.
00:50:38.680
If I were, uh, Iran, I would be crapping my pants right now because we're in negotiations.
00:50:46.300
So the negotiation with Iran is happening now, uh, in, uh, Oman, uh, I think it starts tomorrow.
00:50:55.440
I think there were some this weekend and it didn't sound like we got anywhere, but they
00:51:01.320
And then Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to the white house, I think on Wednesday or Thursday.
00:51:05.780
Well, gee, that's a perfect time to say we've either just bombed or we're about to at some
00:51:12.500
point and here, here's your last chance, but we'll see.
00:51:19.300
I just don't know how we are going to, how do you negotiate with a country that just killed
00:51:26.200
35,000 of their own citizens, 35,000 of their own citizens that were marching in the streets,
00:51:35.760
And I believe Donald Trump, we're not going to tolerate that.
00:51:38.400
I don't know how we're not going to tolerate it, but you know, we always say we're not
00:51:47.300
So Donald Trump, first thing he has to do is restore deterrence.
00:51:59.680
Well, no, I guess, I guess Venezuela was like this.
00:52:13.440
I don't want war and I don't want any of, I don't want any of troops on the ground.
00:52:19.260
Um, but I also don't want to encourage people to protest and then they do it because they
00:52:25.120
think they're protected by us and then they get slaughtered and we do nothing.
00:52:39.120
And I think we're going to go in again, you know, on their nuclear.
00:52:43.660
Uh, but I, I just, I don't think it's going to be like what we've seen before.
00:52:47.140
You know, any regime that can kill in the dark and then get everybody arguing about the number
00:52:54.360
is a regime that, uh, needs to be stopped, needs to be stopped.
00:53:08.760
What is the UN known for besides corruption and everything else?
00:53:21.240
We're not going to tolerate this or we're going to write a sternly worded letter.
00:53:30.220
And they're taking the world in a completely different direction.
00:53:33.260
So last week we heard that we were not paying our bill.
00:53:37.900
And no other country of the 180 countries, part of the UN, no other country was willing
00:53:45.760
So it wasn't just the United States, although we owe $3 billion.
00:53:49.560
And if they don't get our $3 billion, they shut down.
00:53:58.600
And then this weekend I read a story that we're now writing a check for $3 billion to
00:54:16.980
They had to slash their budget or they would have gone out of business really fast, slash
00:54:23.380
They had to reduce their peacekeeping missions.
00:54:28.840
And just as it looks like, wow, the curtain is coming down on the UN, America writes a
00:54:49.440
Trump is now in this position where he is either feared or respected in the world.
00:54:56.040
But if they won't respect you, they should fear you.
00:55:01.080
I told you last week, here at home, he's softening the PR.
00:55:11.260
He is not compromising his values, but he's changing his tactics to get the job done.
00:55:19.180
Unlike those on the left, he's not a destroyer.
00:55:25.200
And in this case, he's going to be the savior of the UN, which is weird.
00:55:28.840
But let me look at long-term thinking, the way I think he's looking at this.
00:55:34.340
You have to understand first, A, he's a negotiator, right?
00:55:42.980
He takes things that are wrecks and builds them into stunning new destinations.
00:55:54.600
A lot of things were like, why isn't he moving faster on this?
00:55:58.060
I mean, as fast as he's going, we actually are going, why didn't he do this faster?
00:56:02.480
So why would Trump get this close to shutting the UN down only to pay when no one else will?
00:56:11.580
Why rescue an institution that has spent decades bloated, ideologically hostile to us?
00:56:30.820
When you're destroying and building at the same time, you don't pull the plug when your hand is still on the switch.
00:56:39.860
Because when institutions like the UN collapse outright overnight, they don't disappear.
00:56:54.500
And when it moves like this, it rarely moves in our direction.
00:56:59.960
So a sudden UN implosion does not produce sovereignty and sanity.
00:57:04.720
It produces chaos and power vacuums and regional strongmen and a global narrative, hear this,
00:57:12.060
that blames one country for the destruction of the UN, and that is the United States of America.
00:57:17.980
Donald Trump understands something that, you know, Washington forgot a long time ago,
00:57:26.060
and those Democrats who are in bed with the far left may have never learned.
00:57:30.620
You don't burn the building down if you're still trying to decide who controls the land underneath it.
00:57:45.780
So instead of burning it down, he's doing something, I think, far more dangerous to the UN.
00:57:57.760
For the first time in 80 years, the UN has cut its own budget.
00:58:04.280
We just said, we're not doing anything anymore with you.
00:58:19.180
None of this happened because the UN suddenly found religion.
00:58:39.820
Only with massive strings and reforms already locked in.
00:58:47.700
That's a redesign made possible because you told them no more.
00:58:55.100
And so they began making the moves the U.S. wanted because they had.
00:59:05.400
But his genius is always killing two or five or a thousand birds with one stone, right?
00:59:13.300
So if he threw the rock saying, we're done and we're out, they had no choice but to make critical changes.
00:59:19.820
But if we really were out and it collapsed, what would the world say?
00:59:34.580
But what does the world say when he comes back in?
00:59:39.360
He strips the UN and all those on the left of its favorite lie.
00:59:43.340
That the reason the UN is failing is because of us.
00:59:47.320
Instead, he steps up to save the UN because the world didn't do it.
01:00:04.220
Why does the entire system collapse without American money?
01:00:08.560
It makes his point and clearly makes his point.
01:00:13.340
Why is global cooperation impossible unless the United States underwrites it?
01:00:27.300
The WHO, NATO, the alphabet soup of NGOs, forums, councils, panels that grew fat on American compliance.
01:01:02.060
That America is always the one that has to pay.
01:01:12.780
So if you were hoping for fireworks, if you wanted to watch the UN simply collapse online television, which I'd pay money to see, it would have been satisfying.
01:01:23.340
But I have a feeling this is much more effective.
01:01:27.200
I think this president, well, I know this president, for me at least, has earned my trust.
01:01:34.200
Like, I'm not happy the way we're dealing with Iran because they started killing people.
01:01:40.500
I would have liked to see us go in and stop them.
01:01:42.440
But I'm okay with the president doing it because he's earned my trust on he knows what he's doing.
01:01:50.620
And he plays cards differently than anybody else.
01:01:55.360
But a weakened, shrinking, exposed institution forced to justify every dollar is far easier to replace than a martyr blamed on America.
01:02:09.660
And for the very first time in a generation, the world is being told by an American president, adapt, shrink, or you're irrelevant.
01:02:20.020
And this time, for the first time in my lifetime, America means what it says and says what it means.
01:02:33.100
You know, adult life basically turns sleep into a part-time job, you know, that you're really bad at.
01:02:45.060
And it's like it's personally offending you, you know.
01:02:49.600
We walk around half-rested, over-caffeinated, a little cranky, calling it normal.
01:02:53.360
But what if it's not supposed to feel like that?
01:02:57.320
Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor.
01:03:00.260
And the whole point is to help your body do what it was designed to do at night.
01:03:03.840
Fall asleep, stay asleep, and actually recover from the day.
01:03:07.400
It's not about being knocked out or waking up foggy.
01:03:10.560
This is about supporting healthy, natural sleep so you wake up feeling like you're rested, not like you just survived the night.
01:03:18.820
Maybe the time for you to try Z Factor and rest like you mean it.
01:03:35.240
I could be wrong on this, but I don't think I am.
01:03:56.920
Because, I mean, if you read Art of the Deal, this is the way this guy operates.
01:04:00.160
He's so strategic, and he can juggle a thousand things at once, and he knows what's coming into his hand next.
01:04:15.860
I think he is managing the decline, exactly what the UN was trying to do to the United States.
01:04:35.360
I think this guy is going to go down, assuming this stuff works, I think he's going to go down as one of the greatest presidents of all time.
01:04:46.400
And I mean, if you listen to me in 2016, I can't believe I'm saying that.
01:04:57.180
For instance, next hour, I'm going to talk to you about the economy.
01:05:00.720
And I want to talk to you about his savings accounts, his Trump Rx, et cetera, et cetera.
01:05:09.780
And I took a different attitude towards them this weekend and said, let me look at several of these pieces.
01:05:18.620
Instead of just treating this as a one-off, let me take all of these pieces and put them together.
01:05:27.460
Because that's, you can look at the UN just as the UN and say, oh, we want out of the UN.
01:05:41.060
He's managing the decline of the global world order.
01:05:53.540
It has been disruptive, but it's not imploding.
01:05:56.680
He's managing this decline of all these world powers as he's building our world power up,
01:06:04.760
as he is putting together the entire Western Hemisphere and saying, this is our game plan, guys.
01:06:16.620
We're going to take your phone calls, and we have more.
01:06:18.680
I'm going to take you to the Epstein thing next.
01:06:51.000
So when your body hurts, you know, it doesn't usually stop your life.
01:06:59.860
You think twice about the project in the garage.
01:07:01.900
Not because you're lazy, but because your knees or your back or your shoulders have started voting no.
01:07:07.980
That's why so many people have decided to try Relief Factor.
01:07:10.520
It's a daily supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation, helping you feel more comfortable so you can get back to doing the things that you used to do without thinking about it.
01:07:20.300
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor.
01:07:22.540
Two-thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month.
01:07:26.440
That's a lot of people who notice, like I did, a difference if you stick with it.
01:07:30.260
Feeling better isn't about breaking records or, you know, running marathons.
01:07:34.320
Sometimes it's just about getting through the day without your body hurting all the time.
01:07:38.680
If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three-week quick start today.
01:07:51.520
What's it going to feel like to be out of pain again?
01:08:05.600
Imagine picking up the phone and Glenn Beck is on the other line.
01:08:09.320
Some Torch insiders are already getting phone calls from him.
01:08:33.660
I decided to speak English today because what the hell?
01:08:36.260
The country is an English-speaking country, but that's just me.
01:08:40.580
Let me talk to you about some people I don't think speak English,
01:08:43.860
and that is Pam Bondi and the people at the DOJ.
01:08:50.740
In case you missed the Epstein episode on Friday,
01:08:56.500
the FBI in the document dump, it came out now that the film that they showed us,
01:09:05.760
and remember, Dan Bongino, everybody else said,
01:09:09.500
I watched every second of it, and there was nothing.
01:09:23.120
That was at the top of an hour, though, wasn't it?
01:09:33.200
I think it was at the top of an hour, so it wouldn't work.
01:09:35.560
But just check it for the correlation of the time of the orange blob.
01:09:39.420
So we find out Friday that on the video, there is an orange blob that is going up the stairs.
01:09:47.880
Now, you could call Ghostbusters, and maybe it was a ghost,
01:09:52.460
but it appears to either be a prisoner or somebody dressed like a prisoner
01:09:56.340
that is going up the stairs to Epstein's cell block.
01:10:05.980
CBS analyzed the digital and said, yep, that's clearly...
01:10:09.720
In fact, they had an analyst come in and say that is not just somebody carrying towels.
01:10:15.540
It appears to be on a body because they can tell the way it's moving that it's moving in the way a body would move.
01:10:22.220
So you can only see, like, maybe the shirt on the body, the side of the sleeve or something,
01:10:35.020
They blamed it first on one of the guards who was, quote, sleeping.
01:10:43.420
That would be a complete, you know, a complete deviation from what I do.
01:10:51.920
So where would I be bringing the sheets at 1030 at night?
01:10:55.920
Then we find out on Friday, not only is the orange blob thing, we find out that they've never answered,
01:11:01.440
and they just don't know, but nothing to see here.
01:11:05.800
Then we find out that when they found him at 630, one of them, the guy who said he was sleeping all night,
01:11:14.460
he took the body down from the noose, but he doesn't recall removing the noose,
01:11:20.320
and his partner, who was awake and apparently, you know, making all the documents, falsifying the documents,
01:11:27.580
and she got it like 3 o'clock in the morning, she said there's 21 prisoners now on the cell block instead of 22.
01:11:38.640
We don't know who the little orange blob is, and you say you were wide awake.
01:11:46.480
How is this jail still operating if all of these things are truly just mistakes?
01:12:00.820
The coroner can't tell a time of death because the body was moved.
01:12:06.740
You could tell about the time of death just by the temperature.
01:12:21.180
Now, I'm not obviously a medical examiner, but I am a doctor.
01:12:25.560
So, you know, I would think that you could give some ballpark of an idea whether the body was moved,
01:12:32.100
you know, from hanging to laying down on the floor or not.
01:12:42.460
And then there's a noose that's found on the floor of the cell.
01:12:47.580
Except in the documents they've just released, they verified that that is not the noose that hung him.
01:12:54.580
I mean, I think third graders could do a better job at saying, no, there is something here to ask questions about.
01:13:04.360
If that wasn't the noose, where was the noose that he apparently hung himself with?
01:13:20.900
I mean, is there any good explanation that you can think of?
01:13:25.180
A single innocent, a single innocent explanation.
01:13:29.940
There's a noose found, but it's not the noose that hung him.
01:13:35.160
Okay, so now let me give you the latest mistake.
01:13:44.140
United States Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York.
01:13:48.020
U.S. Attorney Jeffrey S. Berman for immediate release.
01:13:55.180
Statement of Manhattan U.S. Attorney on the death of defendant Jeffrey Epstein.
01:13:59.540
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jeffrey S. Berman said earlier this morning,
01:14:03.100
the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein,
01:14:06.700
who faced charges brought by this office of engaging in sex trafficking of minors,
01:14:11.940
has been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
01:14:18.100
and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle
01:14:21.940
to giving Epstein's many victims their day in court.
01:14:25.420
To those brave young women who have already come forward,
01:14:30.320
let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you,
01:14:34.340
and our investigation of the conduct charged in the indictment,
01:14:37.460
which includes a conspiracy count, remains ongoing.
01:14:41.080
We continue to urge anyone who feels that they may be a victim to call blah, blah, blah.
01:14:53.340
He died, and the release that looks like this one
01:15:10.260
Can you give me a time stamp on when this was done?
01:15:19.680
If it's a mistake, why not include a time stamp?
01:15:32.660
You know, you shouldn't put prisoners into a cell
01:15:36.400
where you have to write their death story just in case.
01:15:55.860
and if that's true, why would you include this?
01:16:05.040
total incompetence is almost to be expected here, right?
01:16:08.280
Because everything has just been screwed from the beginning.
01:16:57.060
and they haven't gotten to think about this right.
