Welcome to the program, Mr. Stu Bergeer and Jason Buttrill,
00:04:48.380
who is joining us this hour to give us an update on a few things.
00:04:55.480
You had a pretty busy weekend up at the ranch, I saw.
00:05:11.340
Jason, was that about right, at the house last night?
00:05:13.480
And I took them through history, and it was for the youth.
00:05:24.100
It's weird because I did one last week with the youth,
00:05:32.960
You know, the Charlie Kirk thing put a whole different feel on it.
00:05:36.560
And we talked about what it is to be a martyr, you know,
00:05:43.100
what our political underpinnings are, why this matters.
00:05:48.040
Had a great conversation with these kids, really, really sharp, sharp kids.
00:05:57.820
The shooter and the left, they just don't know.
00:06:05.060
It was, I saw determination, and I have in the last few days, online and in person.
00:06:24.920
But I posted some stuff just a few minutes ago.
00:06:28.440
All of the participants in it were under, what, 19, I think.
00:06:34.040
And we went out at the very end, we went out to our front gate,
00:06:38.240
where we have a flag flying, and it was at half staff.
00:06:45.000
And so I brought everybody out, and we stood around the flagpole
00:06:48.520
and raised the flag to two young guys, raised the flag.
00:06:54.460
Another kid who was just really just this great kid plays the trumpet.
00:07:00.980
And like two hours before, I'm like, hey, can you play taps?
00:07:07.000
And so he played taps, and it was really a moving thing.
00:07:10.340
And I know there were people that did stuff like this all over the country
00:07:18.580
There's been a couple times this week where I was like, Glenn,
00:07:29.580
And I'm glad you did not on both occasions because what happened yesterday
00:07:40.100
is exactly what Charlie Kirk would want us to do.
00:07:43.320
And you put it in context with what happened with Charlie.
00:07:52.000
And the only time I've seen something or witnessed something like what happened
00:07:56.020
last night was going to a church in northern Iraq and seeing and talking to
00:08:03.220
the people that had just gotten attacked by ISIS.
00:08:05.920
Now, those people stared, you know, evil in the face.
00:08:09.080
Yeah, we were told ISIS, by ISIS, we were told ISIS was going to hit this church
00:08:17.900
And I'm flying in from New York and I get onto the ground.
00:08:34.720
They were like, we are going to kill everyone in that church at 7 p.m.
00:08:38.720
And I walked in and I saw these people celebrating Christ.
00:08:48.460
And I'm like, how do you, I mean, this wouldn't have happened in America.
00:09:03.940
And I thought, Americans have never had to stand for their faith.
00:09:10.940
Faith and action is what I saw out there in Iraq.
00:09:17.680
The looks I remember seeing on the children in northern Iraq, where literally it was life
00:09:22.640
and death, their faith was everything, was what I saw from those kids last night.
00:09:26.540
As you told them about American history, put everything into context.
00:09:31.340
You walked them through from the first Bible that was printed, brought over from England,
00:09:38.940
over to hear what it took, and then the struggles that our founders took to ensure that the
00:09:44.700
citizenry will be defenders of speech, defenders of freedom.
00:09:49.840
And you took them all the way through it, showing them the documents.
00:09:55.800
I was like, this is exactly, exactly what we should be doing to carry on this torch and
00:10:02.500
And we saw it everywhere from NFL stadiums yesterday.
00:10:07.520
This ranch, all over social media saying, I'm going to church for the first time in my life.
00:10:24.060
Last night, I was talking about martyrs, and I talked about Abraham Lincoln.
00:10:28.060
And I read to the kids the Gettysburg Address, and I thought, if this isn't appropriate for
00:10:39.200
today, Gettysburg Address, four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this
00:10:44.500
continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all of
00:10:50.600
Now we're engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived
00:11:13.220
Whether a nation so conceived that all men are created equal and can rule themselves, whether
00:11:27.760
We've come to dedicate a portion of that field, yada, yada, yada.
00:11:36.840
The brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor
00:11:59.760
What he did makes everything else pale in comparison.
00:12:05.080
The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what
00:12:12.140
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they
00:12:27.920
Nobody's going to remember anybody anybody says.
00:12:29.760
Nobody's going to remember anything that was said at the eulogy.
00:12:38.200
But that is because that's part of the struggle that he just, he did.
00:12:52.720
But we have to dedicate ourselves to the unfinished work.
00:12:57.420
It's rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from
00:13:04.100
this honored dead, these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which
00:13:09.280
they gave their last full measure of devotion and that we here highly resolve that he will
00:13:15.060
not have died in vain and that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and
00:13:20.440
that the government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the
00:13:42.020
And little Abraham Lincoln, six, seven, eight years old, he would get in trouble and his dad
00:13:46.800
would get drunk and he would take his belt and he would whip him while quoting the scriptures.
00:13:53.920
Well, there's nothing that makes somebody want to be a Christian more than that.
00:14:02.760
Um, and he said later in life, he said, when I was, when I, when I was, um, uh, when I became
00:14:15.380
Now there's some debate on that because he studied the Bible.
00:14:20.020
He preached it in, in services before he became president.
00:14:23.600
Um, but in his own words, I wasn't really a Christian when I was elected, when my son
00:14:36.960
Now we think of Gettysburg, Gettysburg happened in the summer and we think, oh, then Abraham
00:14:41.720
Lincoln went up there right after, or he went up a couple of months later and, you know,
00:14:45.360
after they cleared out all the fields and buried all the dead, the dead still wasn't,
00:14:51.700
He comes in November and they were still stacking bodies up like cordwood.
00:14:58.420
Imagine the scene, imagine the smell of Gettysburg.
00:15:08.080
How many people on earth this last week became a Christian on the killing field?
00:15:15.300
They saw Charlie Kirk and they thought, you know, I wasn't a Christian before, but I think
00:15:19.760
I understand what it means to be a Christian today.
00:15:23.080
Abraham Lincoln, that event brought him to his knees where he begged the Lord and said,
00:15:36.600
He issues a proclamation and a, and a request for the nation to go into prayer, fasting, and
00:15:43.760
humiliation, meaning asking God for forgiveness for all of our sins.
00:15:48.020
And he basically said, you know, look, if, if the Lord wants every, every drop of blood
00:15:54.240
that was drawn by the lash to be, uh, to be compensated for by taking all of our treasure
00:16:02.000
and putting it up on a big pile and, and all of us have to pay for it, not just in physical,
00:16:09.220
uh, cash or treasure, but also with our own blood, then God is just whatever God wants.
00:16:26.560
It was the moment of Gettysburg and I contend this may be the moment of Gettysburg in our
00:16:38.740
You're seeing, I asked Grok last night, I said, scour, uh, scour social media and tell
00:16:45.600
me, is there a difference between the left and the right on the way they're talking about
00:16:52.180
Charlie Kirk and is there, is there an increase of people talking about God in a positive way,
00:17:02.960
Grok said huge since Charlie's Kirk, Charlie Kirk, huge, big difference between the left
00:17:08.460
One is talking about revenge and politics and the other one is generally speaking, it did
00:17:13.700
point out that there are bad guys on both sides, but generally speaking, um, uh, the right
00:17:20.200
is talking about God and coming back together, uniting, trying to stand against evil, um, in
00:17:32.020
And the number of people who are saying I'm committing to Christ, I'm going to church,
00:17:37.980
Do you know the number of, I think it was Saturday or Friday.
00:17:41.820
I heard 36,000 new TP, uh, USA, uh, charters for, for, uh, colleges.
00:17:57.960
Did you see in South Korea, people chanting Charlie Kirk, I am Charlie Kirk happening over
00:18:02.980
in Europe, all across the, all across the world.
00:18:05.720
This indeed was a turning point back in just a minute.
00:18:14.100
You don't have to be a doomsday prepper to know the world's getting less stable.
00:18:17.500
Although I suppose it probably doesn't hurt, but over the years we've seen pandemics and
00:18:22.400
lockdowns and, uh, grocery shortages and power grid failures, disrupted supply chains, and all
00:18:30.460
You know, in England, they've got the biggest power outage that has happened since world war
00:18:35.040
two, and it was done by a bunch of leftists and it could take a year to get the power
00:18:51.320
That's why I keep emergency food from my Patriot supply.
00:18:53.920
Each kit is packed with real meals, breakfast, lunch, dinners designed to last 25 years.
00:18:58.180
And that means if there's ever a natural disaster or a blackout or even a financial hardship,
00:19:02.500
you'll have enough food to take care of your family.
00:19:04.280
And right now they've got a preparedness, um, mega kit.
00:19:10.960
Plus the grid doctor 3,300 is a power bank, a portable stove, a water filtration system,
00:19:17.340
survival gear, fire starters, navigation, communication tools, everything you need.
00:19:32.840
You can get 90 preparedness essentials totaling over $1,500 absolutely free.
00:19:37.520
Just head over to my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn and get all the details on how that
00:19:42.080
can happen for you at my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn.
00:19:47.540
So, Stu, have you seen, um, the stuff from Tyler Robinson?
00:20:08.620
Um, he was joking with his friends on discord saying, this is my doppelganger.
00:20:13.880
And the reason why he was saying that was because the FBI released the photos of him and everybody
00:20:27.780
Apparently, um, they don't want to tip the person off that they're getting close.
00:20:32.260
And, um, cash Patel said on, when was it Thursday?
00:20:40.460
They said, well, you could just do, you could let them know that we're getting close.
00:20:46.480
We want to be right up close and personal with putting the handcuffs on him, release it.
00:20:51.700
And so the FBI released it and, and said, if you know, this person, give us information
00:20:58.160
led to an overwhelming vat of information coming in.
00:21:06.580
There's, that's a huge difference in the FBI, huge difference in the FBI.
00:21:10.900
But then he goes on to, uh, say, this is my doppelganger.
00:21:14.540
And people were like, yeah, it looks like you dude.
00:21:20.380
And he was, he was on saying, yeah, it's a guy from California.
00:21:28.580
I mean, he tried to cover his tracks, I suppose.
00:21:31.640
Uh, yeah, I mean, it makes sense to release these photos of the second that you have them.
00:21:35.960
I mean, in a situation like that, remember this is what 33 hours, which isn't in the
00:21:41.880
grand scheme of things that long of a time that felt endless.
00:21:47.560
I mean, he, this was not a situation where he, you know, once you get off that, the,
00:21:52.880
the area where, um, where an incident like this occurs, it gets really, really hard to
00:21:59.040
track somebody down, uh, unless people have an idea of what they're looking for.
00:22:03.520
And that seems to be pretty obvious to, I think most people, I'm glad they did it the
00:22:09.180
And, and that does seem to be the reason they found this guy, right?
00:22:14.040
Like, you know, everyone's talking about, well, I mean, come on.
00:22:16.960
Uh, the dad turned him in like, what, what do you mean?
00:22:21.300
Well, there's an element of, of great police work that led to that, right?
00:22:24.480
Where if you don't have all those photos, if you don't have those, that imagery that goes
00:22:31.060
They don't encourage him, uh, to, and, you know, seemingly, uh, call in, you know, I'm
00:22:37.360
not sure to do either of you guys know, did he actually, was he fine with turning himself
00:22:46.920
No, he, he, he said he would rather die than turn himself in.
00:22:57.560
It's a little, it's a little shaky around this area with the details, but they brought
00:23:01.500
in a minister that helped, I guess, talk to him.
00:23:03.320
And it seems like initially to someone, uh, a family friend or something called in the
00:23:10.140
actual confession, uh, that brought them there.
00:23:13.500
So it's a little bit interesting on how it happened.
00:23:15.960
We don't have all those details, uh, quite yet, but, uh, it was the pictures that alerted
00:23:22.040
the parents and, and a relative to say, Hey, that this looks like your kid.
00:23:36.820
You know, sometimes it's not the big emergencies that'll shake you up.
00:23:41.000
Maybe you left a window open and strange sound at midnight kid who forgot to lock the door.
00:23:45.280

00:25:15.440
The vice president today is going to be doing the Charlie Kirk show directly following this
00:25:24.220
Um, and he's going to be, uh, I think he's doing it from Washington, DC.
00:25:30.160
You know, it's, it's going to be hard to secure TP USA for something like the vice president.
00:25:35.820
Um, but he'll be doing it, uh, today, uh, two hours on air on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:25:42.000
Uh, I'm going to be doing it Wednesday from, uh, TP USA.
00:25:46.360
You can watch the Charlie Kirk show on the charliekirk show.com, uh, rumble and also on his X account
00:26:05.840
Um, and, uh, they're not announcing it for security reasons.
00:26:09.340
Uh, and, uh, well, I wish I would have thought of that before I said something, but, uh, you know, um, and they're
00:26:28.880
Are you making those secure and who's going to do it?
00:26:31.800
I was supposed to be with Charlie in two weeks, I think, uh, on one of these campuses.
00:26:36.240
And I don't, I mean, I said to Charlie, I don't have the temperament for that one.
00:26:46.380
Uh, I don't, I don't, uh, I have a hard time with stupidity.
00:26:52.360
I mean, Charlie was able to sit there through it and really talk to people.
00:27:01.280
So I don't know if I know my daughter does not want me to go.
00:27:04.920
Um, but, uh, was that something that developed over time, Glenn, for Charlie?
00:27:10.260
Because I, I, my impression of Charlie early on was, you know, he was in there mixing it
00:27:16.940
And then I, I noticed, I mean, he, you know, always respectful, but like, you know, it was
00:27:21.820
out there, the clips I saw of him were always like him mixing it up with some liberal on
00:27:25.840
And then I was very impressed by him over the past couple of years, at least when I
00:27:31.540
noticed it, that how he was able to take time with people and try to explain things
00:27:37.040
in a very calm, rational way is particularly around faith.
00:27:40.580
I mean, he was a shining example of what you're supposed to be doing in those interactions.
00:27:48.180
I, I don't, I couldn't tell you, I noticed it the same way I noticed it, did that he
00:27:53.880
became calmer and calmer, you know, as things went on.
00:27:57.080
I think he just, uh, I mean, he was, did he have a photographic memory?
00:28:02.480
Um, you know, a guy didn't go to college, um, that's probably why he's as smart as he
00:28:10.200
Everything he learned, he learned on his own through his own, you know, research and homework
00:28:14.680
He was constantly reading, um, and you know, through scriptures.
00:28:19.700
And I, I bet you he mellowed with, as he became more and more, uh, mature in his faith.
00:28:29.220
I bet he, I bet he mellowed at that point and became just more confident in his faith
00:28:35.900
There's a clip that went viral a few months ago.
00:28:38.980
I don't remember exactly if we did, but we, I know I talked about it off the air a lot
00:28:45.000
It was like, I, and I, I didn't know Charlie Kirk was this guy and it was a clip of him
00:28:49.620
in a, doing a podcast with a bunch of porn stars.
00:28:55.180
And he's talking to them and he's just like, you know, I just think, uh, God has something
00:29:05.540
Like I, it was, you know, when I saw like, Oh, right wing guy on the podcast, a bunch of
00:29:10.720
Like I almost didn't even click on the clip because I don't know, I've seen a million
00:29:16.620
And it's just, it's not the type of stuff that interests me.
00:29:18.480
And then seeing the way he handled that situation was like really impressive.
00:29:23.640
And also it made you think, you know, how can I be more like this person in a moment
00:29:30.860
And the reaction of all of the people around him was to be like, wow, you know, you're
00:29:36.480
really respectful and we appreciate you having this conversation.
00:29:39.420
And maybe he didn't win anybody over to Christ in that room that day.
00:29:44.320
Maybe someone will be changed by that interaction, but he was a shining light of what you were
00:29:51.120
And I thought it was really, really impressive.
00:29:53.500
I was very impressed by Charlie Kirk in person.
00:29:57.240
You know, you see so much stuff on social media and it's like, I don't know, it's all,
00:30:00.700
everything on social media is trash, but meeting him in person and seeing him go through,
00:30:06.280
you know, the, the detail that he had, you know, he was really well read.
00:30:15.560
Thank you guys for a respectful conversation, even though we see things very differently.
00:30:21.640
Look, for whatever it's worth, if you're, if you're engaged in the creation of that content,
00:30:28.820
I know that might sound preachy and not what you want to hear, but just maybe you'll have
00:30:32.860
an encounter with God and Jesus loves all of you and he'll, he can transfer
00:30:38.200
I've had a lot of problems in my life, a lot of problems and Jesus solves everything.
00:30:42.300
And every day is a new day and it's a hopeful, beautiful life ahead of you.
00:30:46.900
And I know that might not be something you even believe.
00:30:49.900
And you might think that all Christians hate you and your way of life and all those sorts
00:30:56.280
I'm a pretty firm, believing, outspoken Christian and God loves every single one of us.
00:31:03.320
I mean, you've definitely been the most respectful one that I've seen.
00:31:23.860
Let me go back to the information that we have.
00:31:27.360
It looks like now the FBI is investigating the social media post by at least seven different
00:31:33.800
accounts that appear to have had foreknowledge of the assassination, one of which referred
00:31:42.440
to the date of Kirk's assassination, September 10th, more than a month before it took place.
00:31:47.320
All were deleted in the days following the killing.
00:31:52.700
Several of the accounts appear to be transgender individuals.
00:31:56.220
At least one of them followed Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in
00:32:05.880
The FBI has received archive copies of the post.
00:32:09.000
The post don't establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, but, you know, it's
00:32:17.740
pretty damning, pretty damning posts, especially from, especially from the, the roommate.
00:32:30.300
You know, I, I, I don't know what he apparently is cooperating with the police, everybody around
00:32:44.080
We, we just don't have any idea of what actually happened yet.
00:32:49.240
There, there is suspicion that there might have been more people at least involved or knowing
00:32:56.460
And now there's, uh, also suspicion that possibly the, uh, there was foreign influence on this.
00:33:09.420
Did you see the two guys that were arrested for putting the bomb under the truck, uh, the,
00:33:17.460
So authorities say that they arrested two men on putting a incendiary device under a Fox 13
00:33:31.920
They found this suspicious device under the vehicle parked near an occupied, uh, vehicle.
00:33:37.800
Uh, the bomb had been lit, but failed to function as designed.
00:33:50.000
But the two suspects identified, um, uh, neither one of them, it, it appears as though they
00:34:00.540
had, uh, some sort of record, uh, because they were, uh, not supposed to be near guns.
00:34:18.420
We don't know if they were here legally or illegally.
00:34:21.880
Um, it appears as though they may have been Muslim, uh, ages 58 and 31 might've been a father
00:34:31.400
They went to the house and they found all kinds of bomb making materials and, uh, guns,
00:34:38.360
None of which either of them were supposed to be, um, anywhere near, obviously.
00:34:43.760
I don't know why you would be around bomb making.
00:34:45.800
You know, it's like, you're not supposed to be around bomb making material.
00:34:50.200
Cause I, I think that's pretty much a good rule of thumb for everybody.
00:34:53.260
Uh, and maybe that's, I mean, unless you're in the bomb making, you know, industry, uh,
00:34:58.620
being, being away from bomb making material probably might be a good rule of thumb.
00:35:02.840
Um, I think, you know, uh, but we'll find out more about these two guys, uh, as the investigation,
00:35:12.960
Let me tell you about IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:35:16.580
The slaughter of innocent men, women, and children on October 7th was the deadliest attack
00:35:22.620
And over 1,200 people were murdered, hundreds taken hostage, entire families erased.
00:35:27.920
And yet, less than two years later, their, their names are rarely even mentioned.
00:35:35.300
And instead of mourning with Israel, the world is marching against her.
00:35:41.260
On October 5th, just days from now, millions of Americans will join together in a powerful
00:35:45.800
act of solidarity by planting an Israeli flag in their front yard as a part of the Flags
00:35:50.020
of Fellowship movement organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:35:55.560
It is a declaration that we haven't forgotten, that the lives lost still matters, that those
00:36:00.980
still being held hostage still matter, and that we stand with Israel, not in silence, but
00:36:11.720
Let the world know that the light still shines in darkness.
00:36:15.060
Get more information about how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement.
00:36:37.040
At some point, losing weight starts to feel less like a goal and more like a revolving
00:36:53.200
You know, you work hard, you see some progress maybe, and then you have a vacation or a holiday
00:37:03.080
It always seems to be a few extra pounds along for the fun ride.
00:37:13.900
Over time, it can cause serious strain on your heart and your metabolism and your energy
00:37:19.540
It's why a team of medical experts developed Lean.
00:37:29.840
And Lean works by targeting the key areas that you need to focus on.
00:37:34.580
First, it supports healthy blood sugar levels, helping to reduce the spikes and crashes that
00:37:41.600
Second, it naturally helps reduce appetite so you can make better food choices without
00:37:48.120
And third, it promotes fat conversion, helping your body tap into stored fat and turn it into

We are taking contributions for Charlie's family.
00:38:34.300
100% of the proceeds are going to go to Erica and the kids.
00:38:41.380
She said, you know, how she told her three-year-old where daddy was.
00:38:49.800
But we want to make sure the family is taken care of.
00:38:52.860
And I think the family is going to be taken care of.
00:38:55.340
I also want to make sure, however, that the TPUSA, their mission goes on.
00:39:01.940
And so if you give, go to GiveSendGo.com slash 912project.
00:39:11.300
And, you know, Charlie came out of that era of the 912project.
00:39:15.020
He started becoming politically aware, you know, the Tea Party side.
00:39:24.580
And, boy, oh, boy, did he surpass all of us quickly.
00:39:28.720
But you can go to GiveSendGo.com slash 912project and donate.
00:39:36.640
Every donation reflects the strength of this community and our resolve to stand together.
00:39:44.260
And she can direct the funds to TPUSA because they are going to need fundraising, et cetera, et cetera.
00:39:51.420
They just lost their biggest fundraiser at least until they get on their feet.
00:40:00.660
And our thoughts and prayers are with everybody at TPUSA.
00:40:09.560
I was going to say, you mentioned the developments in the investigation, which is really fascinating because there was a lot of viral posts that people were, you know, kind of screenshotting and posting about people who seem to know something about this before it happened.
00:40:24.660
And you can never tell whether those are manufactured, whether they're even real.
00:40:28.780
Aaron Sabarian, who we've had on the show before, is reporting that many of them are real.
00:40:38.940
It would be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th.
00:40:49.640
September 10th will be a, uh, an, a very interesting day.
00:40:55.400
And then the, as the shooting goes on, the person re quote tweets their own tweet and says, I plead the fifth.
00:41:03.260
Uh, another one, um, Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow.
00:41:17.880
Um, let's just say something big will happen tomorrow.
00:41:20.180
Um, that's another one there to, uh, another person, uh, Charles James Kirk, Mr. College dropout does not know it's coming tomorrow.
00:41:29.800
These are all posted in advance of the actual incident.
00:41:34.760
And, uh, there's several, uh, others, uh, people cheering on that they, they, you know, we, we did it, uh, after it was done.
00:41:42.840
Um, you know, and like, it's, what's fascinating about all this is there's also a, an organization I wanted to mention too, that, uh, that was, uh,
00:41:50.160
it was called Armed Queers Salt Lake City that had an account and several thousand followers, uh, that, you know, that there, that deleted their account immediately after this.
00:42:01.320
So the FBI is actually looking into this and, and seeing, you know, it's so common with this sort of stuff in whatever culture we're in, where people do oftentimes post stuff.
00:42:12.420
It's the reason they're doing it half the time is to get this sort of attention.
00:42:16.140
So they can't stop themselves from posting little breadcrumbs and Easter eggs to try to show how proud they are of what they've accomplished.
00:42:26.780
It would be really disturbing, really, really disturbing if, if the, you know, what was it?
00:42:41.800
Um, and he apparently was a part of that organization.
00:42:45.640
They took down their, they took down everything, all their, you know, posts and everything, you know, right after the shooting.
00:42:51.760
Um, but I mean, what, what, what, what, what is your point?
00:42:55.300
You know, queers with guns or, you know, what, what is it called again?
00:43:02.860
What is your, what is your, what is your point of being armed?
00:43:08.300
You know, what, what, what were you suggesting there?
00:43:12.260
Well, their, their, their, their description said something like they were armed to defend trans rights or something.
00:43:19.360
Well, that's probably what the guy thought he was doing when he killed Charlie Kirk.
00:43:24.340
Um, you know, uh, these, these groups, this is a Marxist group, um, and a revolutionary group.
00:43:32.680
They were also against capitalism and, you know, America and everything else.
00:43:36.920
So this was a revolutionary group that had nothing to do with their sexuality.
00:43:41.420
It's just another way to indoctrinate people and bring them into the fold.
00:43:48.680
And if they are involved at all, I hope they all go to jail.
00:43:53.580
Let me talk to you a little bit about, uh, good ranchers.
00:43:56.400
You know, all that fresh meat you're buying at the grocery store.
00:43:58.680
You think it's fresh meat and not so much, not so much.
00:44:03.540
Um, that fresh meat, uh, maybe raised in Mexico or Canada, you know, gets the product of USA sticker slapped on it, even though it's not from the U S.
00:44:16.400
Every cut of meat they sell is a hundred percent American raised here, harvested here and delivered to our door without all the lies in between.
00:44:24.560
You get $40 off every box and a free gift, uh, in every order for life, premium chicken, steaks, bacon, all raised on family farms, all traceable, all delicious.
00:44:34.000
It's about honesty, integrity, and supporting American ranchers who are getting squeezed out by foreign meat companies.
00:44:40.340
Won't you save these ranches, save these farms so we can feed our own people.
00:46:08.900
I've got to tell you, I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime.
00:46:17.740
And I'm going to go into some of the things I noticed this weekend and answer, I think, a really tough question that a lot of people are asking about freedom of speech.
00:46:28.220
The left is starting to say, the right is, you know, engaging in cancel culture.
00:46:37.720
You used to think sleep was something you just kind of fell into.
00:46:40.160
You know, you closed your eyes and you counted, you know, a few sheep or whatever, but you drifted off pretty easily.
00:46:56.340
3 a.m. in the morning, you're like, I've got to go to sleep.
00:47:01.200
It's a natural sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, the same people who know how to calm your body and reduce inflammation.
00:47:09.400
It's designed to work with your body to restore a healthy, natural sleep cycle.
00:47:15.600
Just actual restful sleep that lets you wake up feeling like you actually slept.
00:47:19.760
If you've been living in a fog, functioning on caffeine and prayers, well, you don't have to do that anymore.
00:47:29.320
With Z Factor, first-time Z Factor buyer is going to enjoy 46% savings, $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
00:47:47.280
There was a lot of things that were happening over the weekend.
00:47:54.420
Hundreds of thousands of people on the streets in London from the Unite the Kingdom rally.
00:48:01.280
And here are the protesters, if you will, on the streets chanting Charlie, Charlie, Charlie and holding up pictures of Charlie Kirk.
00:48:27.480
This was happening on the streets in places far away as South Korea.
00:48:33.680
Then you have Maloney, the Prime Minister of Italy, coming out and giving a pretty fiery speech.
00:48:41.860
He would sit in public and allow anyone to challenge him in a debate on any topic because he was convinced of his ideas.
00:48:56.380
He was frightening for this because when you have no arguments, those who have them, I have seen it happen many times.
00:49:05.040
Those who have no arguments are left only with the weapon of criminalization, the weapon of insult, the weapon of making the opponent unacceptable,
00:49:13.380
the weapon of violence that always starts as verbal violence, but sometimes also becomes physical violence.
00:49:19.560
I say this also because in these days I have read many inhumane comments about the death of Charlie Kirk, and I have read other frightening ones.
00:49:30.140
One of these is from Pier Giorgio Di Fredi, an intellectual of the left, who said,
00:49:37.680
Shooting Martin Luther King and shooting a MAGA representative is not the same thing.
00:49:43.200
Now I would like to ask this distinguished professor what exactly he means.
00:49:47.640
Does he mean that there are people it is legitimate to shoot based on their ideas,
00:49:53.900
or that it is less serious to shoot them because we do not share their ideas,
00:49:58.820
or that it is understandable to feel like shooting them based on his ideas?
00:50:04.280
It means that we should imagine lesser penalties for those who shoot a right-wing figure,
00:50:12.620
perhaps considering as a mitigating factor the fact that their ideas are unacceptable.
00:50:30.200
So you know this is a global movement of hatred because it's happening everywhere,
00:50:35.640
and people are saying to those who believe in their country, who believe in the rule of law,
00:50:41.600
who believe in common sense, things that we all used to believe in.
00:50:45.580
Look, I didn't change on, you know, mutilation of children.
00:50:52.540
You would have never said that it was fine to have, you know,
00:50:56.980
transgender people doing dances, you know, erotic dances in kindergarten or first grade.
00:51:21.840
You somehow or another have been brainwashed into this thing where you are now,
00:51:26.020
you are for all the things that you knew five years ago, eight years ago.
00:51:35.620
You're against shooting people in the streets who are just trying to say,
00:51:41.560
You're against, quite honestly, the teachers who are applauding all of this.
00:51:53.060
dozens of teachers, professors, and professionals are being suspended or fired
00:51:56.200
for mocking or even celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.
00:52:00.440
Critics say conservatives are now being hypocritical because you oppose cancel culture.
00:52:05.300
But is this the same as Roseanne losing her job over a crude joke,
00:52:09.720
or is it celebrating murder, and that's something more serious?
00:52:15.780
If a teacher is entrusted with children or a doctor entrusted with patients publicly celebrates political violence,
00:52:21.280
have they not yet disqualified themselves from those roles?
00:52:25.140
Words matter, but cheering a death is an action.
00:52:36.060
So let's have that conversation here for a second.
00:52:47.220
I mean, we've seen teachers and pastors and doctors and ordinary citizens lose their job now
00:52:52.540
just for saying they don't believe children under 18 should undergo transgender surgeries.
00:52:59.900
That opinion, whether you agree or disagree, is a moral and medical judgment.
00:53:14.720
I have a right to say you're mutilating children.
00:53:27.860
Now, on the other hand, you have Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:53:31.760
And we've seen teachers and professors go online and celebrate, not criticize, not argue policy,
00:53:42.200
Some have gone so far and said, it's not a tragedy, it's a victory.
00:53:47.120
Somebody else, another professor said, you reap what you sow.
00:53:51.680
Well, let me ask you, are these two categories of free speech the same?
00:54:01.500
To say I believe children should not be allowed to have gender surgeries before 18,
00:54:06.580
that is an attempt, right or wrong, doesn't matter which side you are,
00:54:09.740
that is an attempt to protect life, to protect children, and guide society.
00:54:15.180
It's entering a debate about the role of medicine, the right of parents, and the boundaries of childhood.
00:54:22.820
To say Charlie Kirk's assassination is a good thing, that's not debate.
00:54:33.620
There's no place in a civil society for that kind of stuff.
00:54:42.640
You know, our founders fought for free speech because they believed, as Jefferson said,
00:54:46.840
that error can be tolerated where truth is left free to combat it.
00:54:52.300
So, I have no problem with people disagreeing with me at all.
00:54:59.980
Otherwise, you should go back and read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
00:55:03.800
Error can be tolerated where truth is left to be free to combat it.
00:55:08.800
But when speech shifts from debating ideas to celebrating death,
00:55:14.440
doesn't that cease to be the pursuit of truth and instead just become a glorification of evil?
00:55:26.620
I mean, if you go back and you look at history,
00:55:28.640
In colonial America, if you were a dissenter and you were going against the parliament,
00:55:42.280
They were arguments about liberty and taxation and the rights of man.
00:55:46.280
And the founders risked their lives against the dictator to say those things.
00:55:56.300
Thomas Paine, one of our founder, kind of, you know, on the edges of our founders,
00:56:03.760
he thought that what was happening in France is exactly like the American Revolution.
00:56:13.120
There, the crowds, they didn't gather to argue.
00:56:27.080
Until the people who were screaming for the heads to roll, shouted for blood,
00:56:33.600
Then they kind of turned around on that one pretty quickly.
00:56:38.920
Cicero begged his countrymen to preserve the republic through reason, law, and debate.
00:56:55.360
And the republic fell into empire and liberty was lost.
00:56:59.500
Okay, so now let me bring this back to Charlie Kirk here for a second.
00:57:06.360
I don't believe children should have surgeries before adulthood,
00:57:21.380
However imperfect, it is speech meant to protect children, not to harm them.
00:57:26.960
You also cannot be fired for saying, I disagree with that.
00:57:35.920
and I will do anything to shut you down, including assassination,
00:57:42.440
When a teacher says, I'm glad Charlie Kirk is dead,
00:57:52.540
you know, I don't think I can trust my kid to that guy or that woman.
00:58:09.900
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
00:58:15.620
What does it reveal about the heart of a teacher who celebrates assassination?
00:58:23.020
woe unto them, they call good, evil, good, and good, evil.
00:58:37.460
Now, our free speech law, does it protect both?
00:58:54.980
Can a parent trust their child to a teacher who is celebrating death?
00:59:03.140
that it's right for children to see strippers in first grade.
00:59:17.980
Don't we as a society have a right to demand virtue
00:59:28.220
But the political class and, honestly, the educational class
00:59:31.880
has done everything they can to say that that doesn't matter.
00:59:45.280
and the accountability of people in our culture,
00:59:57.040
Cancel culture is about challenging the orthodoxy.
01:00:05.960
Accountability comes when speech reveals somebody's heart.
01:00:24.680
The Constitution, so you understand, protects both.
01:00:27.520
But we as a culture can decide what kind of voices would shape our children,
01:00:39.140
I think it's absolutely right for the culture to say,
01:00:53.380
And, you know, the big thing was, can you keep it?
01:01:02.280
So, if anybody is making this case to you that this is cancel culture,
01:01:17.200
or a culture that still knows the difference between debating ideas
01:01:33.100
Cybercriminals have a distinct advantage over most other criminals
01:01:42.340
And, for example, if your personal information is online,
01:01:45.480
it's been exposed in something like an online data breach,
01:01:51.880
they can steal your identity without even knowing about it,
01:02:02.100
The guy was partying on your name in Miami, I think.
01:02:05.560
You were having all kinds of, you know, brews and pizza and everything else.
01:02:10.160
They had an awesome night on my credit card in Miami.
01:02:16.820
LifeLock monitors millions of data points every second,
01:02:21.140
looking for signs that your identity may have been compromised.
01:02:23.360
And if something looks wrong, you'll get an alert.
01:02:26.320
And if you do become a victim, LifeLock's U.S.-based restoration specialists stick it out with you until it's fixed.
01:02:39.040
And don't let cyber criminals make you the next target.

There's a few things running through my head today.
01:03:21.340
By the way, on Wednesday, I'm going to be at TPUSA.
01:03:26.700
The vice president is filling in for Charlie today.
01:03:30.840
And you can hear that starting at noon on Charlie's network.
01:03:36.260
I want to talk to you, though, some more about free speech.
01:03:55.520
Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, hey, fascist, exclamation point, catch, exclamation point.
01:04:05.620
No one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump.
01:04:19.640
So you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country.
01:04:25.520
Donald Trump and the migrant Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
01:04:34.920
Now, I have said things like they are dangerous.
01:04:49.000
I have proven it to you that there are those factions inside the left that are revolutionaries.
01:04:56.200
We just talked about it a few minutes ago with the transgender movement in Salt Lake City.
01:05:02.620
By their own description, they're communist revolutionaries.
01:05:05.640
Well, communist revolutionaries, you know, they don't like peaceful transfers.
01:05:08.480
They want to destroy and have a bloody revolution in the street.
01:05:14.560
And so when you're looking at somebody who is fomenting revolution, yeah, I think they're a danger to the republic.
01:05:21.620
When somebody says, this person is a fascist, we're at war, and you have to do whatever it takes to get that person out, and you say that over and over and over and over again, what do you think is going to happen?
01:05:36.440
Because if you really, truly believe that Donald Trump is a fascist, that he is Hitler, that he is rounding up transgender people, if you really believe Stephen King, that Charlie Kirk was for the stoning, listen to this, the stoning of homosexuals, if you really believe that, what aren't you willing to do to stop that monster?
01:06:12.360
You could make the case the last president was on the fascistic road with his public-private partnerships, but that would require you to know the actual definition of fascism, which nobody does.
01:06:23.760
But if you keep calling somebody a fascist and Hitler, and we have to do whatever it takes, what do you think is going to happen?
01:06:43.160
APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:06:46.940
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:06:50.500
If you're carrying a credit card balance right now, you're probably paying about 20% interest or more.
01:06:57.780
While you are struggling to make ends meet, the banks are getting rich off your interest payments.
01:07:02.160
You make a payment and the balance barely moves because you're spending everything in interest, right?
01:07:07.480
It's like trying to bail out a boat with a Dixie cup.
01:07:13.660
American financing can help you consolidate that high interest debt into a lower monthly payment.
01:07:18.400
And sometimes, just by using the equity in the home that you've already built up, they're not a bank.
01:07:23.760
They work for you, and they have salary mortgage consultants that walk you through the options that actually make sense for your life, not for their life.
01:07:30.560
No junk fees, no pressure, just honest, practical help from people who know the system and know how to help escape all of the pitfalls in it.
01:07:40.880
It's about restructuring the debt you already have so you can breathe again.
01:07:55.220
We're raising money for the family of Charlie Kirk.
01:07:57.600
You can go and donate if you can at GiveSendGo.com slash 912project.
01:08:18.880
We're talking about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk and cancel culture.
01:08:26.560
You know, and especially, you know, I don't want it driven by the mobs.
01:08:30.300
I think, you know, if somebody says they're celebrating somebody's death, I think that's somebody I don't want to work with.
01:08:37.920
You know, Stu and I were just talking in Minnesota.
01:08:40.580
If anybody on my staff would have said, oh, my gosh, this is so great.
01:08:45.420
Do you see they just killed those politicians in Minnesota?
01:08:55.140
And, you know, that's that's not what normal people think.
01:09:00.820
And if you are on the right and you do think that way, you're not a normal person.
01:09:07.260
Yeah, I understand the point with the cancel culture thing.
01:09:12.200
It's bizarre that all of a sudden we're supposed to think that the left cares about cancel culture after they've been developing it as a weapon for all these years.
01:09:19.380
It's such a shocking thing, but I actually am pretty sensitive to the idea of an excuse for one of these things being, oh, well, this one's different.
01:09:32.560
Because you can always come up with some difference, right?
01:09:34.480
That is a very standard thing that everyone does in their arguments.
01:09:37.860
Oh, well, I'm disagreeing with a position I held a month ago.
01:09:44.940
There's always an there's always a way to generate a why it's different.
01:09:49.100
The question is, are you actually being consistent with your principles and your values?
01:09:52.480
And in this one, I don't think there's anything inconsistent with what we're talking about here.
01:09:57.100
As you point out, if I've never in my life, by the way, met a person who has cheered on a murder, I've never in my life met someone like that.
01:10:06.420
And so here, if you have a situation where if there was someone working here or someone I was working with, God forbid, working at my children's school who was cheering on a murder of literally anyone right or left, I wouldn't want them around me or around my kids.
01:10:22.240
It seems like a person who's pretty unbalanced and someone you don't want around has nothing to do with making an off color joke in 1998.
01:10:32.580
Hey, you made a political donation to a organization that was supporting a cause at the time that was backed by 70 percent of people.
01:10:42.640
That is the type of stuff that was cancel culture.
01:10:59.080
And, you know, honestly, read Cheryl Atkinson's book.
01:11:03.980
I mean, they they did all kinds of stuff they had never, ever done before to a figure in the media.
01:11:15.980
They thought they won, but they they actually didn't.
01:11:19.740
And B, what they did was they perfected it and it worked for a little while.
01:11:28.060
If you had a different opinion on what you should put into your body for medicine, you were called a killer.
01:11:47.600
We couldn't prove it at the time, but we could we could see all the dots and all the connections and go, I think you're probably wrong.
01:12:01.840
For not wanting to wear a mask or take the vaccine, they'll still say that they still would like to cancel you.
01:12:08.360
And you don't have any place in society if you don't agree with the covid vaccine.
01:12:12.640
I mean, that that's that's what cancel culture is.
01:12:18.560
If I didn't want to take the vaccine because I said, yeah, because I just want to kill a whole bunch of people.
01:12:26.980
It would be common sense and decency to remove me from whatever it is.
01:12:32.840
I'm I don't I wouldn't want to go into a McDonald's with a guy going, yeah, I just want to give is I want to kill as many grandmas as I can.
01:12:39.600
Hey, you see that guy that was in marriage mask and his greatest killing grandparents.
01:12:47.420
No, if you found out a co-worker was secretly in the KKK, would you want them to be around you working?
01:12:55.400
Now, I mean, there are, you know, so many stories that are going on with all these people who are celebrated it.
01:13:02.860
And some of them are being targeted at their at their places of work, you know, people saying, hey, do you know this person works for you?
01:13:12.020
A lot of them, though, are at jobs that are specifically dealing with children, for example, like teachers at schools.
01:13:20.800
Teachers, every single teacher should be fired.
01:13:23.540
If you're engaged in any of this, if you didn't stand up in front of your class and then on social media and everything else and say, look, I disagree with Charlie Kirk.
01:13:40.420
But anybody who is like, yeah, I mean, at UVU, UVU, my son told me that classes cheered when they heard the news that day.
01:13:53.460
Every single every single teacher should be fired that didn't say to their students, knock it off.
01:14:06.440
I hear another word like that, and you're all flunk.
01:14:11.640
I mean, some kids, some kids were expelled from school because of this and deserve to be, frankly, you know, deserve to be.
01:14:18.060
And if I want to channel my inner Charlie Kirk here for a moment and give as much grace as possible to the people, we there is a culture right now of people who almost treat politics and human life as this sort of like sport and game.
01:14:35.500
Like, you know, I after specific Eagles losses, I have said certainly things that are not appropriate.
01:14:43.400
I may have encouraged them to dissolve the franchise and blow up the stadium.
01:14:47.260
Those sorts of thoughts enter your head and they're irrational.
01:14:53.100
But, like, you feel like I could almost see a person doing something like this that is so involved in politics and so crazy that they can't control themselves.
01:15:08.540
This would be an incredible story to be written by an actual journalist.
01:15:11.740
Find a person who had that moment and stop this.
01:15:16.100
I'm just laughing, just trying to think of who the actual journalist.
01:15:20.760
I would love to find someone who had that moment where they actually did celebrate it and then saw the video of themselves and realized what a monster they had become.
01:15:36.860
There has to be somebody in that crowd that had that moment because this is not about politics.
01:15:42.120
As I said, Glenn, if the same exact thing happened to someone on the left and I knew someone on the right who cheered it on the exact same way,
01:15:52.760
You're a horrible human being if you react that way to anyone's murder.
01:15:58.040
And to sit back and see that happen, there has to be somebody, I would think, who said, God, I am lost.
01:16:05.080
I've gone down this road of turning my entire life into politics.
01:16:09.280
And to the point that I'm now cheering on a young father's death, what have I become?
01:16:15.080
There has to be somebody who went through that moment over the past few days.
01:16:20.420
Did you see Christian Chenoweth, you know, the Broadway star?
01:16:31.000
She came out and said, what a tragedy this was.
01:16:35.580
She feels for Charlie's family and his children, yada, yada, yada.
01:16:40.940
Not like, hey, he was the greatest political speech giver of all time.
01:16:58.200
I don't know, for standing up and saying this was wrong, that's cancel culture.
01:17:04.900
That's a bunch of people with a political opinion saying, I cannot work with her.
01:17:11.540
Instead of saying, I don't care what anybody's political opinion is, I feel for the children.
01:17:18.960
That's the difference, the difference in cancel culture and actually just standing up for what is right.
01:17:30.080
I don't know a single person that when those assassinations, the assassination happened in Minnesota, I don't know a single person.
01:17:40.260
And I would definitely excoriate you if you were a listener of mine.
01:17:53.280
I didn't even see social media posts to that effect.
01:17:57.840
Now, social media exists to give every voice to every opinion.
01:18:04.800
But I didn't even come across any that were excited about that or cheering it on.
01:18:10.700
That's what I would expect out of human beings.
01:18:13.440
And I will say at least somewhat encouraged by, for example, a decent amount of sports franchises having moments of silence for Charlie Kirk.
01:18:21.800
I don't think that happens three or four or five years ago.
01:18:24.760
Like, I don't think that happens in the peak woke era.
01:18:34.180
But I think a really good one that you acknowledge, hey, this is just a person who died in horrible circumstances.
01:18:38.880
And maybe we're going down the wrong road as a society if we think anything other than a moment of silence is appropriate.
01:18:49.480
Did you see the mayor up in, I think it's Massachusetts, that said to the fire department, raise your flag.
01:19:00.700
I mean, you want to know you're on the wrong side of history.
01:19:05.080
Imagine being the mayor of a town that said, don't you raise that, don't you lower that flag, raise that flag for Martin Luther King.
01:19:17.780
I mean, this is a political and I think religious, as much as Martin Luther King was a religious and civil rights assassination, this was too.
01:19:31.220
And I know there's a lot of people on the right that think Charlie Kirk, you know, Charlie Kirk was against the Civil Rights Act.
01:19:41.620
And I think you can make a strong case on that.
01:19:44.020
And I think that civil rights leaders have been just race hustlers and money hustlers.
01:19:57.180
Yeah, and I know you've talked about that before, like, it's not undermining, you know, what came out of that era, right?
01:20:03.160
Like, obviously you agree with all, you've talked about it a million times, did you agree with that?
01:20:07.560
There, you know, there have been arguments legally against that act and the way it was written and all of that over the years.
01:20:12.400
So we don't need to rehash, but that's what I think Charlie was saying.
01:20:18.120
And Martin Luther King was a deeply flawed guy.
01:20:22.500
Because no one else would stand up and do it because they knew the cost.
01:20:28.100
I mean, getting somebody like Charlie to stand up and do this, who's not deeply flawed, is pretty rare.
01:20:37.680
And he was absolutely a civil rights, now, I believe, a civil rights icon.
01:20:44.640
Because he died proclaiming the civil right of free speech.
01:20:51.080
He died proclaiming the rights given to us by God.
01:20:56.220
I don't understand why we would not redefine what a civil rights leader is in this moment.
01:21:07.280
You know, Jesse Jackson, he's not a civil right.
01:21:13.860
They may have been, you know, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson may have been back in the day.
01:21:20.380
But in the 80s and 90s and 2000s, they're not civil rights leaders.
01:21:25.460
The civil rights of our era is about freedom of speech, freedom of thought.
01:21:41.460
Are you going to be allowed to work anywhere unless, if you don't agree with DEI, you're out.
01:21:51.200
I have the civil right to be able to stand up and say, no, I don't want my children seeing that.
01:21:56.000
I don't want my children indoctrinated that way.
01:21:58.120
I don't want to take and put that into my body because I don't think that that is what you say it is.
01:22:07.720
How is Charlie Kirk not the iconic civil right leader of the day?
01:22:15.660
I think that ground should be taken by Charlie Kirk, taken back to what it originally was when Abraham Lincoln and Booker T and Frederick Douglass were fighting for civil rights and doing it for the right reasons.
01:22:36.000
They believed in actual civil rights, as did Martin Luther King.
01:22:43.420
One of the saddest things in our country, every day hundreds of women walk into abortion clinics not because they're evil, but because they're terrified.
01:22:56.840
They're told by everybody in their family, everybody around them, that, you know, ending that life, it's not really a life, and it's your only option.
01:23:05.460
For a lot of them, it feels true at the time, and they're facing that family pressure and partners and finances and fear, all of that.
01:23:15.340
They offer free ultrasounds, counseling, and compassion to women in crisis.
01:23:19.200
Right in that crucial moment of decision, when a mom sees her baby on that screen, hears that tiny little undeniable heartbeat, something powerful happens.
01:23:30.260
And that child, who just could have been another statistic, gets a chance to be held, loved, named.
01:23:39.940
Your donation goes straight to those life-saving moments.
01:23:45.020
Just simple, beautiful mission of defending life.
01:23:56.860
Or dial pound 250 on your phone and say the keyword baby.
01:24:15.020
We've got to talk about, like, what it means when you're running for president or you're running for one of these higher offices and you go out there and you talk about beating people up.
01:24:30.840
You go out there and you say things like, I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York and I could still win.
01:24:36.220
And we've got to talk about, like, that is next level.
01:24:43.040
All those things are, like, not necessarily saying go out and hurt somebody.
01:24:48.420
But when you're literally telling people at rallies, yeah, beat them up.
01:24:52.240
And that kind of stuff, like, you are promoting, like, a culture of violence.
01:24:55.700
So we need to talk about, like, what it looks like when you don't promote a culture of violence.
01:25:00.380
It's really interesting because it's hard when you go on social media.
01:25:03.280
There's so many thousands of posts to figure out what the dumbest possible take is.
01:25:08.540
And then you realize there's a way to find out every time, which is whatever Jasmine Crockett is saying.
01:25:14.440
You know automatically it's the dumbest possible opinion on any given subject.
01:25:18.920
So we thank Jasmine for existing and giving us that pathway to truth.
01:25:30.420
All of a sudden you noticed a parade of ants just marching across the kitchen counter like they own the place.
01:25:37.640
There's got to be something much, much worse out there.
01:25:46.120
And they're not some spray and prey company that blasts poison around and hopes for the best.
01:25:52.260
And they are professionals who know how to solve the problem, not just mask it.
01:26:04.180
If something creeps back in between visits, they come out again for free.
01:26:10.580
You don't have to live in a horror movie with bugs.
01:26:12.660
All you have to do is celebrate 25 years in the business with Moxie.
01:26:16.400
You'll get your free, your first pest control service for $25, 25 bucks.
01:26:42.660
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark.
01:27:15.040
When times get tired, gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
01:27:39.100
And if we don't confront evil, what is the price of that inaction?
01:27:56.900
She said something about the killer and his parents.
01:28:00.940
And I want to see if I understand her correctly.
01:28:04.120
Because I think I disagree with her to a great degree.
01:28:07.720
But she's going to be joining us hopefully here in a few minutes.
01:28:10.020
First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher.
01:28:11.640
If you're armed, you probably carry for the same reason I do.
01:28:16.280
But what about those moments when a lethal response isn't legally justified?
01:28:24.160
It's a non-lethal handheld device that is for self-defense.
01:28:29.260
But it shoots powerful pepper, tear gas, and kinetic rounds that can drop an attacker in their tracks.
01:28:34.440
Giving you the time you need to escape and react.
01:28:41.780
You can carry it in your glove box, your purse, your backpack.
01:28:55.620
Look, I don't know if you have a kid in college.
01:29:02.860
But the other thing is, if your kids are in college, they should have a Berna Launcher.
01:29:11.200
And it could be the difference between life and death.
01:29:18.380
Learn more about it at Berna dot com slash Glenn.
01:29:21.220
Also, you try before you buy it at a Sportsman's Warehouse location near you.
01:29:24.920
To find that location, go to Berna dot com slash Glenn.
01:29:38.100
I know it was tough for you and everybody else.
01:29:56.600
So, Bill, um, what do you make of this whole Charlie Kirk thing?
01:30:03.940
So, my analysis is different from everybody else.
01:30:09.800
Um, about a year ago, I was looking for a topic for, because I had a contract to do another book.
01:30:18.760
And I, I said, you know, what's happening in America, uh, and around the world is a rise in evil.
01:30:26.340
You see, it takes a year to research and write these books.
01:30:30.400
And not since the 1930s, uh, had I seen that happen to this extent.
01:30:37.800
And in the 1930s, of course, you had Tojo and Hitler and Mussolini and Franco and all these guys.
01:30:45.380
And it led to 100 million dead in World War II.
01:30:47.860
The same thing, not to the extent, but the same thing was bubbling.
01:30:55.120
So, I decided to write a book, Confronting Evil.
01:30:59.080
And on Wednesday, Putin lobs missiles into Poland, ultra-dangerous.
01:31:03.800
And a few hours later, Charlie Kirk is assassinated.
01:31:08.920
And one of the interviewers, uh, said to me last week, it's your, your book is haunting.
01:31:25.020
And in the United States, we have so many distractions.
01:31:28.860
Uh, the social media, uh, bubble pit people create around their own lives, sports, whatever it may be.
01:31:37.360
Now, Charlie Kirk was an interesting, uh, fellow.
01:31:41.980
Because at a very young age, uh, he was mature enough to understand that he wanted to take a stand in favor of traditional America and Judeo-Christian philosophy.
01:32:03.280
Well, you know, when I was 31 or whatever, I was lucky I wasn't in the penitentiary.
01:32:18.600
All right, now, most good people, even if you disagree with what Mr. Kirk says on occasion,
01:32:34.120
That you go out and try to promote that belief system for the greater good of the country.
01:32:51.280
So, when you essentially break all of this down, you take the emotion away.
01:33:11.760
So, when you read my book, Confronting Evil, you'll see that all of these heinous individuals,
01:33:18.040
Putin's on the cover, Mao, Hitler, Ayatollah Khomeini, and then there are 14 others inside the book.
01:33:41.600
And Donald Trump, I talked to him about it last week at Yankee Stadium.
01:33:46.840
And Trump is a much different guy than most people think.
01:33:51.080
He destroyed his own mother and father and his two brothers.
01:33:55.760
That's what this killer did in addition to the Kirk family.
01:34:03.580
Now, if Americans pay attention and come to the conclusion that I just stated,
01:34:11.200
it will be much more difficult for evil to operate openly.
01:34:18.880
There's going to be a ferocious backlash against the progressive left in particular
01:34:29.020
And I believe that is what Mr. Kirk's legacy is going to be.
01:34:39.340
I wonder, though, you know, it took three, or if you count JFK,
01:34:44.720
four assassinations in the 60s to confront the evil, if you will,
01:34:52.260
before people really woke up and said, enough is enough.
01:34:55.720
And then you got the big Jesus revolution after that.
01:35:12.480
They just don't want to live in the real world, Beck.
01:35:16.420
And it's never been easier to do that with the social media
01:35:26.140
So let's just be very realistic here in the Glenn Beck show.
01:35:40.840
And you will see that play out in the next five years.
01:35:43.720
Because the corporate media invested so much of its credibility into hating Donald Trump.
01:35:58.240
For the first time in 10 years, I've been invited to do a major thing on CBS today.
01:36:09.900
Now, that only happened because Skydance bought CBS.
01:36:15.080
And Skydance understands the brand CBS is over.
01:36:19.520
And they're going to have to rehabilitate the whole thing.
01:36:39.320
Once Trump leaves the stage, there's nowhere for FNC to go.
01:36:45.740
Because they've invested so much in Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
01:36:51.360
So the fact of the matter is the corporate media is over in America.
01:36:55.980
That takes a huge cudgel out of the hands of the progressive movement.
01:37:01.520
Because the progressive movement was dependent on the corporate media to advance its cause.
01:37:31.520
Um, uh, so, uh, um, tell me about Skydance because isn't Skydance Chinese?
01:37:38.240
No, it's, uh, Ellison, Larry Ellison, uh, the second richest guy in the world.
01:37:45.100
He owns, uh, Lanai and Hawaii, uh, the big tech guy and his son's running it.
01:37:52.620
I thought Skydance, I thought that was, you do, you know them.
01:37:57.660
And they, they're not ideological, but they were as appalled as most of us who pay attention
01:38:07.620
at the deterioration of the network presentations.
01:38:12.740
I mean, so do you think that they could 60 minutes used to be the gold standard?
01:38:20.600
And, uh, and it just, uh, now that, you know, you, I don't even watch anymore.
01:38:29.280
So do you think they can actually turn CBS around or is it just over?
01:38:34.960
It's very hard, uh, to predict because so many people now about, I got, uh, a daughter
01:38:46.280
They never, ever watch network television and you got a bunch of kids too, right?
01:38:57.160
They're not going to watch the voice, the dancing with this, the juggling with that.
01:39:02.640
And, uh, you know, I, I don't, I think they can do a much better job in their news presentations
01:39:09.460
because what they did, uh, all three networks is banish people like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly
01:39:28.060
Because Colbert wouldn't refuse to put on any non-progressive voice when they were talking
01:39:41.200
And, but it's not that he was fired because he wouldn't do that.
01:39:44.000
He was fired because that led to horrible ratings, horrible.
01:39:50.460
Fallon has terrible ratings and so does Kimmel, but Colbert was in your face.
01:39:55.560
F you to the, uh, people who were signing his paycheck.
01:40:01.120
Look, evil can only exist if the mechanisms of power are behind it.
01:40:09.780
And that's when you read confronting evil and I take them one by one and Putin is the
01:40:14.720
most important chapter by far, because in my opinion, Putin would use nuclear weapons.
01:40:25.720
And I, uh, on Thursday night, I, I got a call from, uh, the president's people saying,
01:40:32.200
would you meet, uh, the president Yankee stadium for the nine 11 game?
01:40:36.660
And I said, you know, when a president calls and asks you to meet him, you need him.
01:40:44.620
You know, it'll take me three days to get into Yankee stadium from Long Island, but I'll
01:40:50.620
Especially, especially because the president's coming, but go ahead.
01:40:54.820
Anyway, that was a very, uh, I think that Mr. Trump values my opinion.
01:41:01.520
And, and, and it was, uh, we did talk about Putin and the change in Putin.
01:41:07.080
And I had warned him that Putin had changed from the first administration where Trump controlled
01:41:16.060
Now he's out of control because that's what always happens.
01:41:20.360
That would Hitler, it happened with Mao, it happened with the Ayatollah, it happened with
01:41:26.960
They get worse and worse and worse, and then they blow up and that's where Putin is, but
01:41:34.880
he couldn't do any of that without the ascent of the Russian people.
01:41:39.660
They are allowing him to do this, to kill women and children, a million Russian casualties
01:41:53.420
So I'm, that's why this book is just in the stratosphere and I was taken off because people
01:42:01.640
Finally, finally, they're taking a hard look at it.
01:42:05.960
And the Charlie Kirk assassination was an impetus to do that.
01:42:12.700
And I think it's also an impetus to look at the good side.
01:42:16.720
I mean, I think Charlie was just not a neutral character.
01:42:25.780
And I think that, uh, that combination is almost the Martin Luther King combination where you
01:42:33.700
have a guy who is speaking up for civil rights, but then also, uh, speaking up for God and
01:42:43.300
And, uh, I think that combination still strangely, I wouldn't have predicted it, but strangely still
01:42:58.320
The name of the book you don't want to miss is confronting evil.
01:43:02.380
Um, and he takes all of these really, really bad guys down one by one and shows you that
01:43:07.280
what happens if you don't do something about it, confronting evil, Bill O'Reilly, and you
01:43:13.060

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:43:18.640
I don't know when buying groceries turned into gambling, but every time you pick up a pack
01:43:22.460
of meat at the store, I find myself, where did this actually come from?
01:43:26.880
You know, and more often than not, the answer is not in America.
01:43:30.080
Over 4 billion pounds of meat were imported last year, thanks to loopholes.
01:43:36.460
And because of those loopholes, they can still stamp product of the USA on the label.

01:44:48.180
I was reading The Crisis No. 1 last night from Thomas Paine.
01:44:56.600
And that and the Gettysburg Address seems so apropos today.
01:45:08.360
I mean, it is, you know, he is, he's writing this in around Christmas time.
01:45:16.120
And he knows that everybody's abandoning the Declaration of Independence.
01:45:27.080
And he writes, these are the times that try men's souls.
01:45:29.840
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service
01:45:40.740
But it's usual and normal for people to shrink back.
01:45:48.800
But he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
01:45:57.940
Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the
01:46:02.920
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
01:46:05.900
It's dearness only that gives everything its value.
01:46:10.740
And heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods.
01:46:14.440
And it would be strange indeed if such a celestial article as freedom should not be highly rated.
01:46:21.420
Towards the end, he says, you know, he outlines how bad things are.
01:46:29.720
I have hope because I know our situation and I know who we are.
01:46:50.260
And I'm telling you, we're seeing miracles on the ground right now.
01:46:57.780
We have Tommy Robinson on tomorrow's program from London.
01:47:03.920
And I don't even know what's going on in England.
01:47:08.660
But my gosh, if they don't wake up soon, that is a failed state.
01:47:13.880
But people are waking up and they're taking to the streets.
01:47:17.180
And, you know, it's one thing for us to say, ah, you know, you can't, you don't have freedom of speech.
01:47:25.980
But as far as the country right now, you do have freedom of speech.
01:47:35.280
If you're carrying literally an English flag, you can go to jail.
01:48:06.920
You know, buying or selling a home isn't just some random transaction.
01:48:15.080
You're signing contracts that could make or break your future.
01:48:18.300
And yet some people still pick a realtor based on, you know, face that they saw on a park bench or on a bus board or a billboard or better yet.
01:48:29.740
I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:48:32.620
It's a free service that will connect you with the top rated, most trustworthy realtors in your area.
01:48:39.360
The experience successful and sharply aligned with your values.
01:48:49.460
I've heard from so many people, and it always is so great when I hear from customers and they're like, this was Glenn, everything you said, and so much more.
01:48:57.140
Best experience you'll have when you're buying a home or selling a home.
01:49:00.540
It shouldn't be like throwing, you know, darts at a dartboard in, you know, in the dark.
01:49:07.300
You deserve a professional who understands the market, understands you, and gives a rip about getting it right.
01:49:21.920
We're raising money for the family of Charlie Kirk.
01:49:24.160
You can help at givesendgo.com slash 912project.
01:49:46.060
Today, the vice president is going to be on the Charlie Kirk show.
01:49:49.280
Begins just a few minutes right after this program does.
01:49:52.580
Uh, and, um, and then Wednesday, I'm going to be filling in, uh, for Charlie on his, uh, program.
01:49:59.500
I don't know who they have tomorrow, Thursday or Friday, because they're not announcing them because of,
01:50:04.500
I think they're letting everybody announce if they want to because of security reasons.
01:50:08.440
Um, but, um, I'll be there Wednesday and, uh, the president or vice president, uh, it's,
01:50:14.140
it's going to be fascinating to hear the vice president, uh, do Charlie's talk show.
01:50:23.600
She's in Utah and you, uh, have a suggestion for the people of Utah and UVU.
01:50:36.840
Um, I live near UVU and I've been to the campus this week, several times.
01:50:41.680
I have not seen anything regarding Charlie Kirk on the UVU marquee.
01:50:48.600
I'm asking your listeners to contact UVU and demand Charlie Kirk's memorial be added to
01:50:55.700
I unfortunately don't have a phone number for UVU.
01:50:58.460
They keep giving me the run around when I call them.
01:51:01.760
Astrid Tuminez is the president of UVU and she is very liberal.
01:51:06.440
She's trying to keep this far away from UVU and we need to stand up and make our voices
01:51:18.960
Uh, there's also a petition on change.org to rename the courtyard and add a statue of
01:51:26.480
Utah Senator Daniel McKay also has a give send go fundraiser to raise the money for the
01:51:32.900
I plead with your listeners to sign the petition and get this done.
01:51:38.520
I agree with, uh, I agree with everything you said.
01:51:40.500
And the, uh, the university president is a coward, I believe.
01:51:44.060
Um, she didn't say anything until she was forced to say something a Friday afternoon.
01:51:50.120
Um, and you know, UVU is going to be known as the place that killed Charlie Kirk.
01:51:57.080
Oh, you mean, wasn't that the place that there was the kids killed and everything back in
01:52:05.980
Um, and by not standing up and not embracing, uh, Charlie Kirk, um, and, and just trying to
01:52:13.240
hide from this, you're making exactly the wrong decision, but I wouldn't expect less from a,
01:52:31.700
When we spoke last week, we were both extremely emotional because our friend had been brutally
01:52:38.220
And I hear the fire, the righteous anger in you.
01:52:41.560
And I feel so hopeful in the midst of grief today, Glenn, because this is our whole country.
01:52:47.340
We're all rising up like a roaring lion determined, not just to post about this and talk about
01:52:52.960
this, but to enact change, to make sure that our country is not captured by this evil anymore.
01:53:01.040
I mean, I, I, I have hope because I know God and I see what's happening and this is a God
01:53:07.280
Um, and you know, it's one thing if it was just about political change, but I think this
01:53:13.480
is driving people to their knees and bringing people to God.
01:53:16.740
And, uh, that's, that's the only way that all of this is going to be solved is if we, if
01:53:22.960
we solve it through God and I'm seeing some really, really positive signs, um, Liz, let
01:53:29.240
me, uh, let me talk to you about, uh, something that you wrote, um, recently, I think it was on
01:53:35.100
the blaze and you said, I look, uh, I don't understand the sympathy for Tyler Robinson's father.
01:53:42.260
It's heartbreaking that his son is one of the worst people in the country has ever known.
01:53:47.120
We're suffering a crisis in parenting in our country.
01:53:54.120
And I want to first tell everyone that I say this with incredible love.
01:53:59.260
Um, I don't say this trying to pick a fight with anyone or to trigger anyone.
01:54:02.920
I know the response online has been a lot of people have been saying, have been disagreeing
01:54:07.140
with me and that's okay, but I do encourage everyone to listen to what I'm saying.
01:54:12.860
I mean, on Christmas day, 2013, Tyler Robinson's mother posted on her Facebook page.
01:54:18.040
Um, we just saw pictures of this because her Facebook page was public of what he was 10
01:54:22.660
years old at the time of her child, Tyler Robinson, deep in video games and gaming.
01:54:27.180
And she made a joke about now that he's got the gaming equipment that he likes, he can
01:54:32.160
Well, you don't allow your 10 year old child to isolate himself from the family to game
01:54:35.740
on the computer with full access to the big evil internet.
01:54:39.720
And then expect us to say, Oh, wow, you did everything right with him.
01:54:43.300
And he still turned out to be an evil murderer.
01:54:46.020
We're so surprised that the truth of the matter is Glenn and our country is right at this moment
01:54:53.460
Parents are given a duty to shepherd their children's souls.
01:54:57.420
And that doesn't mean just buying them food or buying them stuff or carpooling them to activities.
01:55:01.800
It means forming their children's moral consciences and filling their minds with discernment of
01:55:08.260
And listen, my eldest is only four and a half years old, and I already know this is no easy
01:55:15.620
You can't outsource the formation of a child's moral conscience to someone that you pay.
01:55:20.520
It requires tough decisions as a parent that might make you unpopular, both with your children
01:55:28.000
Your child might be the only one without a cell phone who has never even heard of TikTok,
01:55:32.400
or your child might be the oddball who goes to church every Sunday while his peers are,
01:55:36.420
you know, watching porn or doom scrolling on Reddit.
01:55:38.940
It certainly won't make you popular as a parent among your parental peers because nothing sets
01:55:44.460
other parents on the defensive more than when you tell your child no to something they
01:55:49.640
It means setting moral standards for your child, but also not just enforcing those like a law
01:55:56.020
enforcement officer, but teaching him or her long before enforcing those standards is
01:56:00.420
necessary to make that right choice themselves.
01:56:03.100
It means saying no to public school where the secular, anti-Christian, anti-American, morally
01:56:09.180
relativistic, and honestly, often downright Marxist indoctrination begins.
01:56:14.020
It means saying no to colleges that will indoctrinate him into a hardened communist revolutionary.
01:56:19.860
It means saying no to video games and the internet and cell phones, and yes, even friends and
01:56:24.540
peers who don't share his values, and instead teaching him that he must live with his eyes
01:56:30.200
to eternity, that his life is not his own, that it's Christ.
01:56:34.020
Glenn, we have a parenting crisis in our country because parents think their children are boss.
01:56:39.780
They pretend that their kids know more than they do so that they don't have to discipline,
01:56:44.120
so that they don't have to acknowledge right and wrong themselves.
01:56:46.820
Parents, especially my generation or one generation above, are godless themselves, and then they
01:56:52.920
wonder why their children turn out captured by the demonic.
01:56:56.560
So yes, I would not wish on my worst enemy, the agony that Tyler Robinson's father must be
01:57:02.300
feeling, but the time for truth is here, and the truth is parents are the first blind guardians
01:57:07.480
of their children's minds, bodies, and souls, and parents like Tyler Robinson's are not without
01:57:13.360
Okay, so can I push back here with you because you know how much I respect you and I love
01:57:21.320
you, Liz, so let's just have a good conversation here.
01:57:33.020
They were loving, sacrificial, the best people on earth.
01:57:36.200
My dad was a workaholic, and my mom was an alcoholic.
01:57:43.220
And I honestly, Liz, I don't know how to be a dad.
01:57:52.280
I have done my best, and I have fallen so short.
01:58:04.700
But the other thing is, 2013 was a different world entirely than it is now.
01:58:15.440
Took it away from him a couple years later, you know, when we had the FBI at our house.
01:58:20.320
You know, and I have seen the indoctrination of my children, and Tanya and I have fought
01:58:28.740
for the souls of our children like crazy, like nobody's business.
01:58:34.320
And both of us feel like we fell really, really short.
01:58:42.620
And then there are other things that we're like, yeah, we could have done that.
01:58:50.320
Um, and, uh, just, just trying to keep our head above water with our kids so much of
01:58:57.420
Um, I, I just wanted to talk to you because I agree with what you're saying that we have
01:59:06.860
Um, I agree with everything that you said about being a parent.
01:59:12.040
Um, my, my first thought when I read your, your post today was, um,
01:59:18.880
you're a young parent and you have no idea what is coming your way.
01:59:27.500
You have more of an idea than I did in 2010, 2013, um, because you're now seeing it, but what
01:59:36.200
our kids are going through, you, you've, and it's different again for you because you're
01:59:43.260
You can relate a little bit more to the culture that is going on.
01:59:48.440
Tanya and I both looked at this culture and we were like, I don't even know.
01:59:53.280
I, there's nothing that I grew up with as a standard that I could go, oh yeah, well,
02:00:03.760
Let's, you know what, let's go get some counseling someplace.
02:00:06.580
None of them, none of them were talking common sense at all, at all.
02:00:15.980
Um, and you know, you also have people telling you, your kids, your kids are going to commit
02:00:21.020
If you don't do this, your kids are going to commit suicide.
02:00:24.000
My kids, we didn't give them a phone until the school required them to have a phone.
02:00:29.660
And I would have liked to gone, uh, gone to several, uh, private schools, but because
02:00:35.440
we're from the church of Jesus Christ, Latter-day Saints, every school, every, every Christian
02:00:48.860
And I know some of the good pastors that run some of these schools.
02:00:53.200
And I went to them and I said, I'm not asking you to change your doctrine.
02:00:57.220
I'm not asking you to make special, you know, dispensations.
02:01:03.000
I wanted to challenge what they believe because they have to, wouldn't accept our children
02:01:08.200
because we were of a different faith and a faith that apparently was just too evil for
02:01:14.000
So, you know, I don't know what the situation is with parents and I don't ever want to judge
02:01:20.920
Um, I feel horrible just as I did when that shooter, the milkman went with the Amish and
02:01:31.380
shot up all of the children in the Amish community.
02:01:39.160
But the Amish went and comforted her immediately because they said, you're suffering as well.
02:01:47.500
Cause you know, you say what the father is doing, tearing himself apart.
02:01:58.600
The, the way they have got to be tearing themselves apart going, I failed.
02:02:04.580
I just don't feel comfortable dogpiling on that.
02:02:07.880
I want to be the person that says to them, I feel for you.
02:02:13.460
Now that doesn't mean I don't say as well to new parents.
02:02:26.060
You're going to have to be with them all of the time.
02:02:28.700
There is no such thing as the childhood that you grew up in.
02:02:36.300
Do, do we, are we saying the same thing just in different ways?
02:02:41.880
I think so because I don't want my words to be misinterpreted in the sense that I am not feeling heartless towards these people.
02:02:51.980
I literally wrote that I wouldn't worth, wouldn't wish the agony that I'm sure they're feeling on my worst enemy.
02:03:03.860
I can't imagine what that feels like as a mother.
02:03:05.960
I don't think that calling parents to a higher standard or encouraging them to open their eyes is an indictment or judgment on, like, looking down my nose at parents as large.
02:03:21.640
There are a lot of experiences I haven't had yet.
02:03:26.080
I have no idea what it is like to have a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old and a 20-year-old, and I fully acknowledge that.
02:03:32.020
But what I do know is when there is brokenness, and you are such a redemptive story, Glenn.
02:03:39.100
You come from a family where there was incredible brokenness.
02:03:42.220
One of the prayers I say over my children every day is for God to protect them from my brokenness and from my sin and from my mistakes, because it doesn't matter if you came from a good family.
02:03:52.220
It doesn't matter if you feel that your eyes are open.
02:03:54.460
We are all falling short of the glory of God, and I'm no exception to that, so I don't mean to sound prideful or snobby either, but I do think that we need to not calibrate our expectations for parents to meet just the lowest common denominator.
02:04:11.260
We need to call people to something higher, because the fact of the matter is, even if you didn't know any better than to give your son gaming equipment, even if these parents can plead ignorance,
02:04:21.080
we are in a culture now that has degraded the value of a mother and a father to just daycare workers, and that's not our role.
02:04:28.940
Our role is to form the moral conscience of these children.
02:04:39.000
Let's look for the new parents to tell them, because new parents are doing this every day, and it's got to stop.
02:04:45.160
Before your kid, you lose control of your kid in this society.
02:04:48.480
You got to do everything you can, and then realize you might still lose your kid.
02:04:55.820
Always a fan, and always great to have you on the program.
02:05:00.140
You pay your cell phone bill every single month, but you have, have you ever stopped to ask, where's all that money go?
02:05:06.220
If you're using one of the big carriers, it might be funding causes you completely disagree with.
02:05:12.320
Do you know that if you're with Verizon, you're funding abortion?
02:05:15.480
They send money all the time to Planned Parenthood?
02:05:27.780
They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they donate a portion of every dollar to organizations that fight for religious freedom, sanctity of life.
02:05:35.960
The first responders are veterans, and the best part is the service is really good.
02:05:40.320
It's on the same exact cell towers as the major carriers, so you get the same exact nationwide coverage.
