00:00:00.000 well hello america and welcome to the glenn beck program you know for a very long time

00:00:04.340 uh people have looked at this show and looked at me and said he's nuts and other people other

00:00:12.240 people have said yeah maybe but maybe not so if you're in that last category of yes he might be

00:00:19.280 nuts but maybe not what if he is right for those few people uh i've got something very exciting

00:00:27.380 to talk about i i yesterday i spent a lot of time thinking about the one question that everybody

00:00:33.740 wants to know what comes next right how does this end don't we all kind of want to know that

00:00:40.520 what happens next i've got three options for you and uh and the third option i don't think anybody's

00:00:49.380 even thought of or talked about yet or at least at least talked about openly and i think we're

00:00:54.860 going to need to do that uh because i think it's a very exciting option uh that maybe we can get a

00:01:02.160 few people on board and uh do and how does it end what happens next oh you're gonna love this uh it's

00:01:11.760 coming up next i'm gonna share it with you uh and again maybe i'm crazy but what if i'm not

00:01:18.220 in 60 seconds this is the glenn beck program

00:01:24.680 you excited stew because i i shared a little bit of this with uh stew right before we went on the air

00:01:31.560 oh and it's very exciting right uplifting exciting i mean it's gonna be it's gonna be a shot to your

00:03:56.780 yeah that it was a it's a friday and we are nothing but sinners that need to come back to jesus

00:04:10.220 so yesterday by the way welcome to my good friend pat gray who is uh who has always been one of my uh

00:04:19.520 trusted counselors uh and as is stew brageer um his real name is steve but nobody calls him that

00:04:27.940 because he didn't speak up you see what happens when you don't speak up yeah this happens to you me i

00:04:34.760 happen yeah you turn into stew all right so as i see this there are three options

00:04:44.220 on how this on how this ends one because i've game i i have war game this you guys know this i have

00:04:51.740 war game this for almost 20 years now and uh you know i've said we're gonna miss the exits we're gonna

00:04:57.700 miss the exits and then there you are bridges out and it kind of feels that way but there is one more

00:05:03.240 exit there is one more exit and here it is um uh that we find a group of americans that are so

00:05:15.300 martin luther king-ish that they just they're willing to stand peacefully through anything i mean take a

00:05:25.020 crowbar to the head and they're willing to we can get them all together and we can find a couple of

00:05:32.640 leaders like a martin luther king or a gandhi and we can all rally around these people and and put

00:05:39.740 together a a well-coordinated and well-financed uh movement you know because martin luther king was

00:05:48.600 also very well financed uh and and then we can we can you know we can stand against black lives matter

00:05:57.320 which is this just rag tag band of of of people uh that currently have 1.6 billion dollars at their

00:06:06.500 disposal so we can do that and we can march right into the gates of hell and everybody the press will

00:06:15.600 be there and they will be witness to good versus evil and it will be on the screen side by side and

00:06:22.820 people will go i like those people more than those people and that's that's that's the way to

00:06:28.380 change things and that we we all of a sudden stop being the people that americans have seemed to

00:06:36.800 turn into uh and we actually start taking our god and our covenant seriously and we kind of go back to

00:06:45.420 not being the whore of the earth i i just gotta speak up here and say that one sounds hard uh it

00:06:52.780 sounds like a lot of work yeah and that one sounds hard i don't think that one's gonna happen it would

00:06:59.500 be good though wouldn't it that would great like if we were the people of the 1960s you know where we

00:07:04.660 still had churches and you know people were speaking up at the pulpit and you know we had the constitution

00:07:10.260 in you know in common and a love for our country in common that one could have happened that one

00:07:16.180 would be nice and i still think we try that one i don't think it's gonna happen but i still think we

00:07:21.300 try that one now the other one is we just kind of keep doing what we're doing and then the marxist

00:07:32.420 end the deep state take over and uh and we lose the country you know probably in the next four years

00:07:41.240 uh and america as we know it is is over uh and then the singularity comes and we're already slaves but

00:07:50.280 some people um get little chips and so they become super super powerful and super super smart

00:07:57.440 and uh there's no way to compete with them so our children and our grandchildren are forever slaves

00:08:03.680 to a really dark system okay now i think that's a possibility too right that's a bad one you know

00:08:14.300 we become worse than the nazis because of our technology uh and we just end all freedom on the

00:08:23.440 and and america just becomes this dark dark place and all man's freedom is lost and possibly forever

00:08:31.440 oh that's it though that's there's nothing worse than that that could happen

00:08:35.780 no i think that's okay i mean you give me some time but i think that's i think that's the dark end of

00:08:44.680 the scenarios okay don't you think so yeah so i have the title of the first one as big group of mlks

00:08:51.860 randomly emerge and then the second one slaves well we have to find them right well yeah sure

00:08:57.880 and then uh slaves to a nazi system but darker as the second possibility right okay all right now let

00:09:05.340 me ask you let me ask you which one do you think has a better chance out of those scenarios

00:09:12.000 of happening well i thought there was a third scenario so let's well there is but i'm just saying

00:09:18.440 out of those two scenarios that's number two which ones you think number two number two no doubt in

00:09:24.680 my mind right right it's just no doubt in my mind i mean it would be really nice but this thing is so

00:09:33.020 well coordinated and so freaking evil uh and so well financed that there's no way out you know i hate to

00:09:40.840 be a pessimist and i'm not i actually believe in the first one no i actually i want to do the first

00:09:47.240 one but i think we all somewhere inside we all go yeah that number two scenario that could happen

00:09:54.420 you know if i would have said this to you if i would have said this to you six years ago

00:09:59.420 i wouldn't have said it because it wouldn't have seemed possible right six years ago i say and we turn

00:10:06.060 into a dark nazi state i think we all go that's not going to happen today i think everybody within

00:10:12.980 the sound of my voice even if they say that's not going to happen they're like what there's maybe a

00:10:19.260 possibility well yeah because a lot of it has already happened so you could transform the rest of it by

00:10:26.360 this afternoon right it's only going to get faster from here right yes well i think we're all clear

00:10:34.600 okay all right now i thought of this third scenario yesterday and i thought wait a minute

00:10:43.560 hold it just a second this one i think has a better chance of working and happening

00:10:52.520 so here let me play out the third scenario here this is going to be fun yeah no this is no this is a

00:10:59.140 good one this is a good one and i think there's a real chance this one happens um at least this is the

00:11:03.780 one that we should hope for you know we should be working towards i think so uh here's the scenario

00:11:09.540 we all start working on the martin luther king thing but someplace inside of us we all know that

00:11:16.320 ain't gonna happen but we actually try to do it um and in the course of doing that a small number of us

00:11:24.540 really change you know a small number it's not going to be a lot of people because you know

00:11:29.480 christians and all of that nonsense is going to be just uh more and more laughed at as the time

00:11:36.860 goes on so it's not going to be christians and all of that nonsense did you prepare to clarify that one

00:11:41.700 a little bit yeah it's all going to be yeah no it's all going to be you know deemed hooey soon by

00:11:46.900 scientists and those in the know uh and so uh there so it's not going to be popular and it's not

00:11:53.740 necessarily going to be fun but we'll change and it'll be really good it'll be really good um and

00:11:59.280 then the you know the country is overthrown by the you know dark forces uh of marxism and and death

00:12:07.240 and evil and we lose the country as we know it by let's say 2024 okay and uh then there's like

00:12:16.680 seven years of tribulation but then jesus comes okay okay all right okay all right so then jesus

00:12:27.040 comes and everything is great again and when you look at it that way you're like you're like wait a

00:12:32.060 minute seven years and then the just the the next four and then those really crappy seven years i can do

00:12:40.440 that that's not so bad you know what i mean it's gonna be really crappy uh and the dark nazi

00:12:46.400 stuff is gonna happen to the united states but then jesus comes now here's the beauty of this

00:12:52.780 because just a few of us are willing to look at this and go huh that's a possibility

00:13:02.160 or even those who are like i don't think that's gonna happen but i'd rather hope for that than just

00:13:11.780 the gulag with the borg you know in an ss uniform because here's the thing if we actually start to

00:13:21.980 look at it that way then even if jesus doesn't come we're the happy ones in the concentration camp or

00:13:30.480 the gulag i think that's a win so your optimistic scenario is essentially we have the nice room of

00:13:37.960 the concentration camp oh no we have the worst room in the concentration camp but we're happy

00:13:43.740 i didn't we're happy i shouldn't have overstated the positivity because if we just endure it for

00:13:50.100 seven years we know that the second coming of jesus will be here and then uh everything's fine

00:13:54.700 yeah but let's say that you're one of those who are like but will you well wait now wait a minute

00:14:00.060 let's just say that you're one of those are like oh i'm not i don't think i want to put all my eggs

00:14:06.340 in the jesus is coming back basket okay because they've been doing that for a long time that's

00:14:13.240 good in this scenario because if the second scenario is what really is going to happen

00:14:20.460 again we've changed and we're happy in the gulag

00:14:26.360 okay all right so to summarize here if i could we have uh scenario one which is a big group of mlks

00:14:36.260 are discovered in an archaeological dig of some sort yes okay yes uh number freezers maybe walt disney

00:14:43.560 maybe we defrost him okay maybe he's the guy i don't know number two were slaves to a not nazi system

00:14:50.220 but darker possibly run by animated skeletons i asked out of that last part because it just seemed like it

00:14:55.320 worked um because i could well animated would not be accurate but audio animatronic maybe yes well

00:15:01.300 i'm thinking they're uh meaning uh not animated as in drawn but just alive and moving around there

00:15:06.300 this is not they're they're not like well that's a little supernatural for me um i'd rather stick to

00:15:11.100 science again we're figuring this out together so and then yeah robot is robot skeletons yeah okay

00:15:16.380 robot skeleton and three is jesus shows up in like 15 years but the nazi stuff still happens anyway

00:15:21.740 so your optimistic scenario is just the nazi stuff happens anyway i mean the first one's i guess the

00:15:30.640 most optimistic but you've pretty much ruled that jesus comes but jesus comes so we just have to be

00:15:34.880 show some endurance essentially show some buck up man pull yourself up by the bootstraps just be good

00:15:42.120 to each other live you know hey treat others like you want to be treated you know that kind of stuff

00:15:46.420 we could do that for seven years we could fake our way through that uh and then jesus comes but if he

00:15:51.320 doesn't come because we faked it we actually start to live that way and when he doesn't show up sure

00:15:59.240 some of us are disappointed others are like no but let's sing a song you know on the way to the gallows

00:16:04.940 and we're like yeah that would be really cool and we're happy about it you know uh i saw the same

00:16:10.220 segment on fox and friends this morning uh where they went through the three is somebody onto this

00:16:15.380 theory already already oh man so you're a little late uh brian kilmeade was all over this one this

00:16:21.300 morning uh so was cnn really yeah same thing did they do skeletons though let me tell you something

00:16:29.380 all of it let me tell you something i think they're all going to be we're just early on this i think

00:16:34.380 they're all going to be talking about this soon i think they're all going to be put your hands

00:16:42.000 together it's friday all right uh well and uh lay old bertha down to rest uh yesterday gave her a

00:16:50.440 final dusting with my handkerchief and took her wheels off put her in cinder blocks and she's ready

00:16:55.740 to go that great big motor speedway in the sky yep and during transmission that darn transmission

00:17:02.560 finally fell right out of her right out of her she like giving a baby warranty expired right around

00:18:04.720 now i should throw in a caveat uh before everybody gets excited and goes wait a minute jesus

00:18:25.520 might be here by you know 2033 yeah well he might not uh and it's not that he's not that that scenario

00:18:33.000 is not right it just the dates may be a little off so we might have to be in the dark nazi gulag thing

00:18:40.540 for a little longer than than i would think because the dates could be wrong but i don't think by very far

00:18:48.540 you know you're willing to what a couple weeks you want to give a window or is this the type of thing

00:18:54.360 where you're like it's kind of like a uh cable installation where they're like we'll show up

00:18:57.960 between 11 and 7 like you're gonna you're gonna kind of give a big open yeah i'm gonna say

00:19:03.660 between 2030 and 2050 okay that's the because that's not a jesus now we're not where truck will be

00:19:11.500 backing in yeah we're waiting for a lot longer though than than the 15 years you've now extended

00:19:16.060 our endurance levels uh that are needed for this this equation to play yeah none of us will survive and i

00:19:21.240 want you to know that i don't i don't think we actually are part of the we're not happy in the

00:19:27.700 gulag because we're usually we'll probably be taken first because we're speaking out you know what i mean

00:19:32.460 so we're probably uh killed or tortured or tortured and killed um by the uh dark nazi overlords uh and

00:19:42.540 their and their high technology machinery well uh i will say long before jesus i for one welcome our

00:19:48.960 new robot overlords uh so i don't know that i don't know what so you're going with option two

00:19:53.780 you're just like hey i'm gonna throw in yeah well i feel like if i kind of get out early on this one

00:19:57.620 maybe i'll have like again like kind of a nice the nice seat in whatever camp i'm in i think that's

00:20:04.040 about as good as i could do in your world because uh the first one you didn't see you don't even think

00:20:07.960 even if you throw in now you don't think you avoid a camp no no no oh no of course not right

00:20:13.900 okay all right i mean i was reading a little of white fragility yesterday and i've realized there's

00:20:18.600 no way for me to cure what i have i'm white so oh no it'll they'll torture it out of you

00:20:25.060 and it'll fail so they'll have to eventually kill you but they'll torture it out of you but again

00:20:29.640 that's only for pat for 15 to 20 years yeah right you have to endure that not a big deal not a big deal

00:20:35.700 right exactly right and it doesn't happen starting today so it might only be like you know 10 years this

00:20:41.540 is so pat so much fun yeah yes which option are you going with i'm going with three i think we

00:20:48.380 get to three there we go wow yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna go i'm gonna work on one but i'm also kind

00:20:55.580 of betting on three yep uh so good news it's friday this is the glenn beck program

00:22:22.440 slash glenn use the promo code save the family and save 20 bucks

00:22:25.680 pat seemed a little uh a little too quick to jump on scenario number three um which i think is um

00:22:38.240 didn't seem to be suspicious that even took this seriously he didn't seem to really even

00:22:43.860 seriously consider scenario two which uh was you know the well i think if you the nazis and

00:22:50.400 except darker than the nazis and with robots right robot skeletons yeah right right but i think if

00:22:58.160 you are picking number three which is hey uh we you know it takes us probably about four years um

00:23:07.280 because time is going to speed up uh to get to the tribulation then that's a seven-year period but then

00:23:12.740 jesus comes uh i think when you take that one you just assume that the nazi robots that's going to

00:23:19.640 happen you know what i mean right see here's my i guess my my issue with your scenarios is that

00:23:25.460 yeah both scenarios so you're again to review in case you're just joining us uh the first scenario

00:23:30.420 was a big this is groundbreaking now listen we we want you to know you know a lot of people think

00:23:36.240 i'm crazy but i think there's a lot of people in this audience that go yeah but what if he's not

00:23:41.180 right right hopefully right what if he's not hopefully there's hopefully i am nuts right but uh

00:23:48.440 okay so scenario one is a we magically discover a big group of mlks just uh in an archaeological dig

00:23:55.300 of some sort uh and they say we save the country them hey pull yourself together i know you've been

00:24:01.580 frozen for some unknown reason uh but pull yourself together here's the scenario get them and uh you

00:24:09.320 know we all march behind these these miraculous men that we have just found right somewhere so there's

00:24:15.800 that and i think that's a possibility i do think those people exist but you gotta have just that

00:24:22.040 that uh that daring spirit of like i'm willing to die for this but i'm not gonna pick up a gun

00:24:28.720 you know so if you're gonna shoot me shoot me but you'll only strike me down you'll only make me

00:24:34.540 stronger that kind of uh attitude uh and that's usually with the bad guys right now uh used to be

00:24:40.680 more popular with the good guys but now bad guys seem to uh corner the market on that one so we

00:24:45.820 find those guys we follow them and then everything is solved right you have that that's number one yeah

00:24:52.680 yeah number two we all become slaves to a nazi system but darker possibly run by uh robot skeletons

00:25:01.020 and i don't know we haven't well rate with that's your part i didn't go with the you know i'm just

00:25:05.980 looking at something that ray kurzweil is cooked up in the basement of google yeah you know that

00:25:11.360 would be robot skeletons likely but i mean that's a whole other okay and then okay all right number

00:25:15.560 three jesus shows up in like 15 years but the nazi stuff still happens first and i guess my big

00:25:20.940 question here is it seems like scenario two and scenario three are the same for 15 years

00:25:28.680 which i don't know that i would consider either one of those instead of all eternity right yeah instead

00:25:34.560 of all eternity okay you know once the singularity hits it's over you're not getting out of that one

00:25:40.100 right you know of course obviously there's no uh you know they're right so right you don't have a

00:25:46.440 wonderfully bright uh vision of the future at this point i think is the the overall really bright vision

00:25:52.500 no i have a very bright vision of the future i think great things are coming i really that's not

00:25:57.440 what i took from your scenarios i'm gonna have to be honest with you well that's you can take whatever

00:26:01.520 you want i'm just saying great things are coming and i think we should prepare for it i think i think

00:26:07.780 that this time with covid and everything else i think we could complain about it and we could bitch

00:26:14.200 about it um or we could look at this as the time to reconnect with our families and god and uh turn

00:26:21.820 turn ourselves around i i think we could look at it that way i'm looking at it that way and i'm starting

00:26:27.940 to feel better about things if if i were to choose option number three because by choosing option number

00:26:36.420 three you get all of them you know you may not find the cryogenically frozen martin luther king guy

00:26:43.600 um but we can try and we'd be better because of it and then you know option two happens but then jesus

00:26:52.220 comes and even if you're in the gulag you're happy you know it's man's search for meaning you're happy

00:26:58.320 i mean you'd be happier not in the gulag but you're still happy in the gulag i think we win either way

00:27:04.940 that way because i think this whole thing of no we're going to elect we're going to elect the this

00:27:11.320 time this time we're going to elect people that mean what they say and i'll tell you what they're

00:27:17.800 certainly not going to uh they're certainly not going to betray us or our values no sirree you know

00:27:25.260 what i'm saying right and now you've gone to on television a full blocking of your face with the

00:27:31.840 monitor is that an intentional uh well that is yes it is okay yes it is you look like the guy from

00:27:37.340 tool time uh where you're looking over the fence uh wilson from tools yeah well maybe i am maybe i am

00:27:44.660 hiding my my my real um you know identity okay now i took my glasses off we we learned if i have my

00:27:55.520 glass yesterday i learned if i have my glasses off it scans my face and it's like i don't know who that

00:28:01.520 is i can't i can't turn the computer on who are you right and you're like it's me and then i realized

00:28:08.100 clark kent that thing was true superman might exist because that disguise works

00:28:14.560 so let me ask you this you have a scenario of you've planned out the last you know the next

00:28:20.200 couple decades obviously what does that mean for us right now what what happens right now like we've

00:28:26.600 got an election a hundred days away we've got uh all of this strife going on around the country

00:28:32.860 we can't go out of our houses uh for most most reasons what does this mean for us right now

00:28:39.320 well i think what this means is you know we feel like it's wailing and gnashing of teeth

00:28:45.580 but it's not now this is actually a good period uh compared to what's coming so good you are

00:28:53.900 depressing man how no no no listen listen i'm telling you right now i have a new lease of life

00:29:00.320 i really do i have a new lease on life um you're terrible at expressing yesterday look no no no well

00:29:07.200 sure my kids run out of the room crying a lot but i mean whose kids don't um so uh yesterday let me

00:29:16.360 tell you a happy story we found the cutest mouse i've ever seen in fact i have a picture of it i've got

00:29:23.560 to tweet it out the cutest mouse ever and i thought that's a field mouse but a really big one it was like

00:29:28.880 almost the size of a cat uh it was uh it was really cute drove the dog out of his mind uh but uh he

00:29:36.940 actually climbed up a wall on the outside of the house and uh and sat there trying to get away from

00:29:43.940 us and my wife was like you can't kill it it's too cute and then you know my vegan daughter and

00:29:51.100 and the grandchildren they're like you can't kill it even if it's ugly because it's a it's an animal and

00:29:56.520 we don't kill animals and i'm like you're right and it is cute um and uh so i found out doing a

00:30:02.920 little research i found out it was a pack rat i didn't even know those were real uh but uh but it's

00:30:09.820 a pack rat and they're cute as a button they really are um in doing my research they're also uh one of

00:30:18.500 the stinkiest vermin uh out there and they'll just destroy everything uh so earlier this morning

00:30:26.760 uh let my dog out and uh and gosh darn it if if he didn't visit that little pack rat right there

00:30:33.940 underneath the porch of the house and so i caught him and i was like oh come here come here he's so

00:30:40.640 cute and cuddly and so um i got into the the rhino this morning and i drove down the street and i

00:30:47.380 released him in a field uh where he is going to have such amazing pack rat adventures um because

00:30:55.940 he's going to be out there away from people and everything and he's going to build his life out

00:31:00.100 in the middle of this field way away from the house can we visit the pack rat uh out in this field

00:31:05.560 no you know it's like when um prince my dog uh collie that i had when i was really young

00:31:12.420 um my i came home one day and prince was gone and my folks told me that they took him to a farm

00:31:20.700 uh and uh and i was like why would you take him to a farm and they said well because

00:31:26.040 you know we've been thinking about it we think he's a little unhappy here you know kind of in the

00:31:30.500 in the in the in the urban district and uh he really really wanted to just run out free in the fields

00:31:37.700 and i was like well can i go see him and say goodbye and they're like no it would be really

00:31:42.720 hard on prince if you saw him uh because then he'd want to come back with you and so i never saw a

00:31:48.600 prince again but he lived happily on that farm this is your uplifting happy story first of all your

00:31:55.300 home seems to be infested by rats then your dog did something to this rat rats though and then you

00:32:01.380 never saw your puppy no dog didn't do anything well no but i mean i i i've lived happily knowing

00:32:08.740 that prince had a very very happy life with some random farmer that i didn't know my folks even knew

00:32:15.840 um and they unbeknownst to me without even talking about it in advance just took him to that farm

00:32:23.040 uh and i could never see him but i lived a happy happy life knowing that he was happy

00:32:30.340 roaming those fields without fear of cars and you know anything like that i mean chances are prince

00:32:37.340 is still alive right running those fields exactly right now how happy do you feel that's a great

00:32:43.380 story my childhood dog is still running that same field at that same farm right which is probably

00:32:51.420 have a mall built over it uh now that is now closed uh but still theoretically uh if that farm

00:32:58.420 still existed that farm is still there i'm sure my folks would have thought that through that farm

00:33:02.460 still is there and uh and that's the kind of optimism that i can give you uh today don't worry

00:33:09.520 it's all gonna be good it's all gonna be the america that you know it's all gonna be out on

00:33:14.360 it's all gonna be out on a farm so we can't visit it because we will miss it too much and they will

00:33:20.460 miss us uh that american uh picture that we all had in our mind and it'll miss us so much and it'll

00:33:27.280 be harder to part with so we're gonna leave it on that farm and just be happy to know that it still

00:33:32.580 exists somewhere well there you go um all right uh weekend kickoff here on the glenbeck program

00:33:40.860 get yourself pumped up for a summer weekend by tuning into this show uh uh actually i i do want

00:33:50.360 your help on uh on figuring out a couple of stories that i just can't figure out for the life of me i

00:33:56.980 can't figure them out um because i don't know if they're serious or not i would say even four months

00:34:02.060 ago i would have said well two weeks ago i would have said okay this is a parody i'm not sure if it

00:34:07.120 is and i found this story on medium about how crossing uh uh signals at our crosswalks are racist

00:34:17.960 and i'm reading it and i'm thinking this is a funny parody and then there's something inside of me in

00:34:25.720 fact the overwhelming force that went no these people are serious um and uh and i just i'd like

00:35:08.240 cancer and that was his earthquake and it changed his life and now he's interviewed i think like 200

00:35:13.740 people who had massive earthquakes in their life and what they did to turn it around and make it into

00:45:07.080 program how are you thank you my old friend nice to be with you yeah good to be with you um so your

00:45:13.880 your book is life is in the transitions and this is something i've i've talked about for a long time

00:45:20.680 we all have pivot points and it's when we choose to reach up uh and pick ourselves back up uh at usually

00:45:31.680 the worst point in our life the world changes and and for the better well i have to say glenn you were

00:45:39.180 in my mind a lot as i was working on this project because you're not only if you had a lot of pivot

00:45:45.140 points and and transitions in your life but you've also been incredibly open as a public figure and

00:45:51.700 talking about them and sort of helping to model the idea that the old kind of fantasy linear life that

00:45:58.040 we were told where you'd have you know low-level job mid-level job high-level job right you would

00:46:02.860 date and you get married you go to this like that that's gone and so you know you mentioned when we

00:46:08.380 met and you were exactly right it was more than probably a dozen years ago at um at this point i was

00:46:14.620 working on america's profit at that time and such a good i was having a kind of linear uphill life and

00:46:21.340 i just got a walloped by life right i had the cancer i almost went bankrupt and as you know my book

00:46:27.640 life is in the transition that we're talking about now began begins with my dad who has parkinson's

00:46:32.720 never depressed a minute in his life and in savannah georgia tries to take his own life actually

00:46:38.100 multiple times in the course of a month so i start this kind of storytelling project with my dad where

00:46:44.200 i send him a question every monday morning about his life tell me about the house you grew up with

00:46:48.360 the toys the you know how'd you become an eagle scout how did you join the navy how did you meet mom

00:46:52.820 and this man who'd never written anything longer than a memo backs into writing an autobiography and

00:46:58.440 i got incredibly interested like how we have to rewrite and rethink our life story and when i

00:47:04.420 started talking about this everybody had a story and i thought you know what there's not really a

00:47:08.600 book out there that captures how we get through these life quakes i call them he's got massive changes

00:47:14.740 that sort of descend upon us so i did what i do i went on this journey crisscrossed the country

00:47:20.200 i got hundreds of life stories of americans all 50 states like every state in this country people

00:47:26.180 who lost homes lost limbs changed careers i have military veterans who lost limbs in in the middle

00:47:32.820 east i have you know uh alcoholics who got sober people who got out of bad math incredible stories of

00:47:39.200 recovery and redemption and i then spent a year like with a team of 12 people like looking through trying

00:47:45.040 to find a toolkit to help all of us as we have to manage these life quakes and then oh my gosh lo and behold

00:47:52.340 this book comes out at a moment when the entire planet is going through a life quake at the same time

00:47:58.980 which is why this book out this week has just sort of exploded out of the gates

00:48:02.640 it's it's interesting uh bruce because um i've been saying in fact i just said it last hour we can

00:48:09.600 we can look at what's happening to us right now and take it in a negative way and be angry and and

00:48:17.460 let it destroy us and say that it is destroyed us or we can say it's going to put my feet on a

00:48:25.380 different different path and i don't know what it is yet but it's going to be good and search for

00:48:31.360 the meaning out of out of suffering and everything else and when we honestly do that with an optimistic

00:48:37.800 spirit um and a trusting spirit uh it it it changes everything everything well i love your

00:48:46.720 idea that we're going into the weekend and we need a bit of positivity and so here's what i what i

00:48:51.960 discovered is that the life quake itself like the massive change that comes over us it can be positive

00:48:57.380 having children is often a life quake starting a new venture is a life quake i have the story in

00:49:03.120 in my book about you know a truck driver who became a male nurse like people can make these changes and

00:49:08.880 they are positive constructive or they can be negative right you can have a diagnosis you can

00:49:12.760 lose your job you can lose a loved one but the transition that comes out of the life quake that

00:49:18.460 must be voluntary like you have to lean in to decide to go through you know the roadmap i'm gonna

00:49:24.040 lay out for you and take the steps to turn that situation that negativity into positivity that's a

00:49:31.260 choice and in some ways that's where we can start right now you have to choose to go through the

00:49:35.420 transition what is it that you're everybody lay awake last night or woke up this morning and was

00:49:41.980 wondering do i have a job you know if i have a job is it the right job do i need to quit my job to take

00:49:47.000 care of my children or my grandchildren you know am i doing something meaningful do i have a medical

00:49:51.580 problem we all have these everybody listening to us the question is do you want to make the choice

00:49:57.300 to go into the transition and get yourself to a better place so this is also it's i mean it's

00:50:05.320 deeply personal but it is the answer to almost all of the strife that we're feeling right now

00:50:11.920 not just in covid not just in the struggle but also in the apparent non-forgiveness of sins of the past

00:50:21.900 um if if you if you choose to take the things that have happened in your life um and and and choose

00:50:31.460 to look look at nelson mandela and choose and say okay those things happen now what do i do because i

00:50:38.620 can't change everybody else what do i do it is so freeing and so empowering and it's the message that i

00:50:47.780 think much of america is missing right now well this is why i think you know and i wrote it in the

00:50:54.160 wall street journal this week and in the new york times today and it's the reason this book is sitting

00:50:57.960 in the top 20 of amazon right now is because learning to master life transitions turns out to be the most

00:51:04.420 urgent life skill people have right now uh people need right now and we haven't really talked about

00:51:09.680 transitions it's not really been in favor the last kind of big book on this was 50 years ago

00:51:14.760 and i sort of been discovering that we have many life comes at us much faster now i mean the good

00:51:20.660 news is we have freedom we can live where we want to live and believe what we want to believe right

00:51:24.240 and be in the relationship we want to be in and have the job we want to have but that's a greater

00:51:28.540 burden on us to kind of make that choice and so what happens is when you go into the life transition

00:51:33.460 right you feel one of two things either like chaotic and out of control like i gotta do this i gotta do

00:51:37.360 that or you feel stuck and you but i know what you definitely feel which is i'm the only one going

00:51:42.900 through this but when you sit as i did two three four times across from people you know i have a

00:51:48.960 army sergeant who uh had his face blown off in the taliban on the brink of suicide who's turned to

00:51:56.620 to to poetry and painting and built himself you know i knew i have a cia agent who lost his marriage

00:52:04.060 i have a two-time cancer survivor who climbed uh mount everest i have incredible stories of people

00:52:09.900 with addiction who overcame one what i'm going to tell you in a minute but when you get into this

00:52:14.320 it turns out there's kind of a structure like they involve different phases they're saying goodbye

00:52:19.140 what i call the long goodbye you say goodbye to the old you then there's this messy middle think of

00:52:23.760 the scriptural stories where you have to kind of go into the wilderness where you shed certain habits

00:52:28.220 and create new ones and then you finally build this new you and then you have to kind of unveil that

00:52:33.700 to the world so there are actually steps you can take and as you know the second half of life is in the

00:52:39.780 transitions has this toolkit for things that you can do and my wife's i'm chuckling when you were

00:52:44.860 you know your question because my wife was like don't tell me what you think bruce you know bring

00:52:50.940 me what other people are doing and that's what this book is you're going to find people just like you

00:52:55.440 who've been through this you're going to find things that they did that will help you almost exactly

00:53:01.080 where you are right now one of the most amazing things in my journey is um and the most clear

00:53:08.940 example of it was or maybe it was just the first example of it was i was just asking the bigger

00:53:16.640 questions of life and uh i read i began to read plato uh for my own search not because somebody assigned

00:53:24.980 it to me and i realized uh i've been asking these questions from the beginning of time and and you're

00:53:33.100 not alone you you these problems and uh and crosses and solutions have been experienced since the

00:53:43.500 beginning of mankind and uh when we can get out of ourselves and look uh to others currently and to

00:53:52.640 others who have accomplished something uh in the past life just becomes so much easier and so much

00:53:59.960 more pleasant because you start to notice the people around you who are kind of in the same

00:54:04.460 place and you start talking you're like right i thought it was just me right uh and it's it's really

00:54:10.720 um healthy all right we're gonna continue with bruce feiler here in just a second the name of the book

00:55:57.140 all right so where do we where do we start on this bruce well i think the first thing that you do so

00:56:15.620 there's seven tools that we that we uh that i lay out here and life is in the transition so the first i

00:56:20.580 would say is to ask the question like what is the biggest emotion that you're struggling with okay

00:56:27.340 i asked everybody what's the hardest thing that you managed to do when you were going through

00:56:31.900 a life transition and the number one answer was fear they were afraid of what was going to happen

00:56:38.840 can i pay the bills where am i going to go how am i going to do with you know with saying goodbye to

00:56:43.440 what i left behind number one was fear number two was sadness you had to mourn somehow and the third

00:56:48.920 was shame right i'm ashamed to have a child who has an addiction right i'm ashamed to have lost my job

00:56:54.480 i'm ashamed for whatever reason and so i asked people how they overcame these emotions and um you

00:57:01.380 know the people said that they some people wrote down their feelings some people just put their head

00:57:05.760 down buckled down and went to work but 80 percent eight zero said that they use rituals of some kind

00:57:12.460 you know one thing that you and i share is an interest in religion and this was very very interesting

00:57:16.820 they hold memorial services right they sing or some way they like wave a flag they i talked to a

00:57:22.660 woman who had a brutal year where she became a bone marrow transplant giver to her brother she had a

00:57:30.160 big blow up with her mother she was trying to date and she went on 52 first dates and she jumped out of

00:57:35.480 an airplane because she said you know if i can overcome that fear a year later she was married with

00:57:40.940 child i mean i talked to addicts who were in literally had to accept that they were in a difficult

00:57:46.500 place so i think the first step accept that you're accept the kind of facticity of your situation

00:57:51.720 and use something to kind of use some ritual to say goodbye because that's a kind of an outward

00:57:57.320 expression to yourself and to your loved ones that you know what i'm not going back to the past

00:58:01.840 i'm ready for whatever's going to come next that's kind of the first step in in aa and it's it's the

00:58:08.620 hardest because you have to admit that you're powerless that you did that everything that you try

00:58:15.220 um is is not really in your hands and you're failing on trying to change and find your path

00:58:24.340 and so surrendering to it is is really hard especially when the fear is that there's something

00:58:30.840 inside of you um you know when there's when you've made mistakes or whatever and and you know even in

00:58:38.440 covid i should have thought of this i should have thought of that and you can get blocked into

00:58:43.160 i'm either too stupid or i i you know i've lived this way too long or in my case it was a fear of

00:58:52.780 the unknown of of maybe there isn't anything better inside of me maybe there isn't anything better than

00:58:58.200 this i have this incredible story i i teased it right before the break i'm going to tell it now is a

00:59:03.940 woman um who was in fact an alcoholic her name is christy wanzalack and while and she and she was

00:59:10.040 estranged from her mother the mother shut the door in the face and said i love you but i'm not

00:59:13.540 going to meet you again until you're sober she was homeless she didn't have anything and then she

00:59:17.860 really basically almost got hit by a bus and she said i have to change my life and she was incredibly

00:59:24.060 ashamed by her conduct before because she had robbed 22 homes to try to you know scrounge together

00:59:30.780 enough money to live and what she did she knocked on every single door open the door you don't know me

00:59:38.800 but i stole from you and i just want to apologize some slammed the door in her face and one woman

00:59:44.220 said look you're not better off in jail but you took something from me that you can't i can't get

00:59:48.560 back which is my grandfather's wedding ring write me a 25 dollar check for a year never call me again

00:59:54.260 and she didn't have the money she had to reconcile with her mother the mother wrote the check years

00:59:58.960 later she opened an addiction treatment center she was invited on oprah she wanted to go and they said

01:00:03.320 will you call that woman and she said no i promised that woman i would never call her again

01:00:06.920 you cannot have me on the oprah winfrey show i'm not going to go back on my word that's a ritualistic

01:00:12.260 gesture to say i had to confront my fear in order to open up for what's to come next

01:00:17.560 wow wow so um you confront your fear uh and you you find some ritual that helps you um move through

01:00:32.160 is it is it um because you come from a religious background you know i love uh um oh gosh what's

01:00:42.540 his name america's prophet america's two you're always so generous no no no no no no no no no there

01:00:47.780 was a uh anyway i can't think of his name now and everybody in the audience knows him um but he's a

01:00:54.920 he's a um professor up in canada stew help me out went on tour with dave rubin jordan peterson it's

01:01:00.660 jordan peterson and jordan peterson you never know if he actually believes christianity or not

01:01:06.720 but he says the ritual of of burying the the sin and coming back up and releasing that and having

01:01:18.260 a ritual of redemption whether it's real or not it becomes real um for those who actually believe it

01:01:27.340 is there something to that bruce that you found what we need is expressions to ourselves and to

01:01:35.560 others that we're not going back you know i think that we've been so enamored of the idea of

01:01:41.360 resilience and that's a very powerful idea but resilience actually comes from a spring it means

01:01:45.200 you go back some people go back but usually you go sideways or forwards or a different direction

01:01:50.280 entirely and the idea here is to get out of the kind of linear construct that everything has to move

01:01:56.300 in straight lines because life doesn't happen in straight lines we are in a situation now we're

01:02:01.280 not going back to before covid this lifequake is going to last an extremely long time and therefore

01:02:08.480 we have to accept we're going to go to a new place that is scary but as we you know as we continue this

01:02:14.240 conversation about where you go there are things you can do to get yourself there more effectively and

01:02:19.060 more efficiently okay um we're gonna we're gonna continue with bruce here in just a second he'll

01:04:40.520 we're bruce feiler he's the author of life is in the transitions he is a uh a dear friend of mine

01:04:50.140 uh a guy who has had many translations uh transitions in his life and this is not some

01:04:56.140 sort of kind of self-help book to where you know it's for the desperate and needy although i think

01:05:01.020 it would help with the desperate and needy uh as i have been many times in my life uh but also for

01:05:05.800 those who are just looking at any kind of transition in their life so bruce we went through the the the

01:05:12.160 first three things that people fear uh or that that happen to people is is they they go through fear

01:05:18.660 what were the other two emotions that you found 80 percent of the people struggled with yeah so fear

01:05:23.400 um fear sadness and shame were the emotions and people turned to rituals and at that point you're

01:05:28.860 really in the messy middle at this point right so i think you know two things happen in this phase

01:05:33.360 right where number one is you shed people shed habits right they shed things about themselves that

01:05:38.680 they like right they um you know you may i talked to a dea agent who had been a retired who was a

01:05:46.240 distinguished american of drug enforcement agent and for 25 years he was used to carrying a gun he

01:05:52.400 said wait i have to not get used to not carrying a gun because now i have to persuade people i used

01:05:56.260 to be able to compel people right so people shed habits i talked to a woman who went through cancer

01:06:01.460 left her job her marriage broke down and she went finally decided she was going to lose the 60 pounds

01:06:08.420 she'd been trying to lose for a long time she said she had to shed the uh her habit of every time she

01:06:14.400 walked in the house she would go and open open the fridge i talked to an opera singer who um was

01:06:21.540 incredibly successful married to miss america uh who was incredibly successful but held a secret

01:06:28.940 which was he was a stone cold drunk and he left out felt called to ministry his wife left them uh wife

01:06:35.180 left him and now he works with uh inner city youth so incredible stories you shed you shed habits and that

01:06:42.440 opens up to what you were talking about earlier but people turn to astonishing creativity they kind of

01:06:49.520 make themselves um anew you were talking about reading for you you were going to go on a reading

01:06:54.340 journey right some people in this phase turn to religion i talked to a biology professor in alabama

01:07:01.760 who always wanted to be a ballerina she had stomach cancer her marriage broke down and she said you know

01:07:07.680 what i'm going to do i'm going to finally take in her case adult ballet classes right i talked to an

01:07:13.580 incredible man and chris waddell he was a mediocre skier in college lost the use of his legs at 20 had a

01:07:21.380 skiing accident became the number one most decorated paralympian in history in both winter sports a mono

01:07:29.440 ski like a like a motorcycle and then also in summer sports he said stepping down retiring at 35 from his

01:07:37.100 paralympic career was harder than losing his legs at 20 so he needed a new dream and his new dream

01:07:44.520 was to climb a kilimanjaro and he climbed kilimanjaro he and they made a documentary about this the whole

01:07:51.060 team was helping him he got a hundred feet from the top and the boulders were too big and they carried

01:07:56.400 him uh to the to the end there was a big celebration he felt awful and guilty like he was cheating and it

01:08:02.820 wasn't until he got home and they were making the documentary he realized that was the lesson all along

01:08:08.140 that i couldn't do it alone i had to have a team around me i didn't want to be just the hero that had

01:08:14.020 overcome adversity i realized we all need to go through this with a team so this is the second big part of

01:08:20.800 this which is kind of creating your new self and that's it's uh at least for me it's hard because

01:08:28.220 just the word transition it is a trend it's neither the past nor the future and you're you're you're

01:08:37.400 betting on the future you're betting on that things are going to change and and i'll never forget i

01:08:43.440 remember thinking you know the the time when i was like get up get up and just do it and i'd like to say

01:08:49.300 that the next day the sun was shining and the birds were talking to me like in mary poppins but

01:08:53.560 it didn't happen that way it was still a schlog but you just had to you just had to trust your new

01:09:02.520 path and if you look at the great scriptural stories right abraham leaving his home going down

01:09:07.920 to the promised land the israelites leaving egypt and going into the desert in jerusalem they go off

01:09:13.260 and by the rivers of babylon jesus going off uh into uh into the desert all the traditions have it

01:09:19.260 you you can't find your new self until you let go of your old self and this is why that wisdom has

01:09:24.980 lasted this many years and but the thing i really kind of want to say here that's important is that

01:09:31.200 once you did that you of all people glenn you did find your way to a better place and that can happen

01:09:37.860 to everybody listening to us you think you're alone because here's kind of the big message of this

01:09:42.660 right which is the transitions work like if you feel stuck the transition is actually the mechanism

01:09:49.120 to get unstuck that's how we do it and we spend half our lives in this transition you know we have

01:09:55.620 three to five of these life breaks in a lifetime and sometimes they take three four five years

01:09:59.640 that's half our adult lives we can't view these periods as you know awful periods we have to grit

01:10:05.040 and grind our way through that's why my book is called life is in the transitions because we are all

01:10:10.320 in transition you are someone you know someone in your household is in the life transition right now

01:10:15.720 it turns out that the big audience for this book is people in transition the bigger audience is people

01:10:20.460 who are the co-pilot trying to help a loved one who's in transition but they work that's what i have

01:10:27.800 learned i sat across from people hundreds of them i had a thousand hours of interviews glenn six thousand

01:10:33.720 pages of transcripts and what i learned is that we can get through this so if you come on this journey

01:10:38.600 with me and you meet these people you're going to find something to do tonight you know something this

01:10:43.620 weekend next week you're going to find a roadmap and you may it's going to be tough but you're not

01:10:48.580 going to get lost because you're going to meet lots of other people who've gone through what you're

01:10:52.000 going through right now in your journey i think this is one of the biggest i mean except for you know

01:11:00.680 like the the israelites uh uh you know going out into the desert and just not knowing or one of maybe

01:11:09.940 one of the big world wars but you'd have to be in places like germany this is this is one of the

01:11:17.240 bigger moments in man's history where the entire world yes is looking at things knowing that everything

01:11:26.080 is going to change we don't know what that even means yet uh and we're wondering what do we do

01:11:34.320 and i think in 9 11 when that happened we all knew that was a big transition but we were told go

01:11:40.480 shopping and the military would take the rest and that was a mistake because we didn't actually go

01:11:47.160 through the pain uh of of what really needed to be done we just had a band-aid and we can't put a

01:11:54.540 band-aid on this this is the first you actually have to face this one you're dead right glenn as always

01:12:00.260 this is the first time in a century that the entire planet has gone through a a lifequake and

01:12:06.700 the life transition to come at the same time because but here's the fascinating thing about it

01:12:10.780 we are all going through this together the lifequake part of it like the shock of it but each of us has

01:12:17.600 to go through a different life transition so that the transition that you need is different than the

01:12:22.720 one that i need it's different than one that my teenage daughters need or my neighbor might need

01:12:26.860 so the the the lifequake is collective but the life transition is going to be individual

01:12:32.460 so that's why i sort of that's why when we began this conversation you said what's the first step

01:12:36.960 the first step is to choose to make the transition to look inside yourself and say what is it that i am

01:12:43.760 most worried about and what can i do to fix it so that's where we are now we are in the moment now

01:12:49.900 six months into this where we have to realize what do i want to do how do i want to get better

01:12:54.080 how do you do do you have any stories in there on people how they got past blame because i think a

01:13:01.200 lot of people it's natural i mean i did it in my life for a long time and it was corrosive

01:13:06.880 i blamed someone else and even if that's true to some degree it doesn't you can't transition out of

01:13:15.740 that you have to let that go and realize i can only do what i can do um and people who are in

01:13:23.500 go ahead no sorry i was i don't mean to interrupt you but i you asked me a story and one just popped

01:13:29.140 into my mind i talked to this one michelle swain she grew up in a broken family her parents were

01:13:34.040 divorced her mother had no interest in her being a mom she was like left at school for hours when

01:13:39.020 everybody else was picked up she married her childhood sweetheart she was so she was just

01:13:44.400 vulnerable she she jogged and jogged she became an anorexic she just drove her body with kind of

01:13:50.980 shame and guilt and blame into nothing and then and she tried to get pregnant for many years she

01:13:56.640 couldn't she slips one day on the ice she falls back she's lying in the hospital and she has a

01:14:02.140 vision from god who said i did this to you so that you change the next day her her husband comes in

01:14:08.180 i got a vision from god that he did this to you so that we change they went on to adopt 11 children

01:14:16.720 from refugee countries around the world i asked her the shape of her life and she said it was a

01:14:22.380 dented minivan because she went from being me me me oriented and angry and blaming to i'm going to

01:14:29.040 give back and her life is now defined by helping these children and being a mom because that's the

01:14:34.880 other thing that happens when you mentioned meaning earlier when we go through these life transitions

01:14:39.000 we rethink and readjust what's most important to us are we working too hard to spend more time with

01:14:43.960 our family are we tired of our family because we have our kids at home you know and we want to give

01:14:48.460 back are we burned out from giving back and we want to do something for ourselves you know these moments

01:14:52.800 are meaning vacuums and kind of what i've tried to do in life is in the transition to give people

01:14:58.260 the tools to think okay well what is most meaningful to me and let's just make sure we're doing it

01:15:03.440 because you know we're all being reminded that life is precious right now i i have to think as i've i've

01:15:11.120 i've this has popped up in my head a couple of times uh during the interview you and i both share

01:15:17.020 another friend um who wrote a book called um survivors club and uh those two books your book and this book

01:15:27.640 um uh would make a really important um duo for anybody who is looking uh at their life and saying

01:15:37.720 okay what next and i'm transitioning and you don't know what's uh happening next uh bruce has written

01:15:45.420 the book uh life is in the transitions life is about life is in the transitions mastering change at any age

01:15:53.760 it's available at amazon or wherever you buy the book i can't recommend it highly enough

01:15:57.940 uh bruce is a is a guy that uh has found his place in life and has done so much good for himself his

01:16:09.800 family and so many others have benefited from the changes and the things that he has found in his own

01:16:15.260 life and shared uh bruce thank you so much for being on with us good to talk to you again thank you

01:16:20.960 a friend be well everybody we'll get through this together bruce feiler life is in the transitions

01:16:27.700 and uh stew knows that because he's been transitioning for a while now

01:16:32.820 yep uh got a date on the surgery we'll talk about it later okay sometimes sometimes he's got to let go

01:16:41.600 of a few things uh and we don't want to talk about it but sometimes you just want to stand out there

01:16:47.320 with your skinny jeans at the rec tech with your organic gluten-free craft beer gazing lovingly at

01:16:52.920 that big old slab of tofu lathered up in vegan avocado oil with a nice tasteful serving of lemongrass

01:17:01.400 shoots on the side wow and then you're thinking to yourself man life is good uh when you're a vegan

01:17:08.060 and then you usually pass out on the on the deck um the good news is you can cook that crap on

01:17:15.900 on a rec tech you can um but you know even the vegan hipsters are happy with it but i think more

01:17:24.600 people like what it does to meat uh and vegetables as well for for the rest of us rec tech represents the

01:17:32.520 height of human cooking achievement with its smart grill technology and perfect stainless steel design

01:17:39.400 rec tech is going to take your cooking game up to a higher level especially if you're grilling you know

01:17:45.340 real food i don't i don't even know what tofu is and i don't think i want to know anyway i've been

01:17:51.720 cooking on the rec tech for a few months now i could tell you that went from zero to hero in the

01:17:56.200 grilling department because i used to burn everything now not only my family but i also look forward

01:18:02.400 to uh grilling and me cooking instead of just uh secretly saying i'm going to order a pizza for

01:18:09.500 everybody uh when they're not looking because we're not going to be able to eat the crap that i just

01:18:13.700 cooked on the grill rec tech follow them on social media sign up for them in the newsletter or visit

01:19:04.200 going out to a kind of like a street fair uh here and i mean i live in a town of 500 people

01:19:09.640 um and uh so it's social distancing is not that hard uh believe it or not um but uh they have we

01:19:18.780 have a this little festival that they uh they do and on the this weekend it's a it's an old west

01:19:24.220 shootout and i was very disappointed to find out that i can't bring my gun uh that these are all

01:19:31.620 actors or people with experience i'm like welcome it looks like that guy's robbing the bank i got my

01:19:39.920 gun wait they're saying you can't bring the gun or you just you can't shoot random people in the

01:19:44.580 street i can't shoot random people in the street they're like hey glenn we should probably let you

01:19:49.980 know the guy's really not robbing the bank and they're not using real bullets and so it kind of

01:19:56.060 took the it kind of took the polish off it a little bit i was like i was really excited i was

01:20:01.040 like oh wow it's a shootout let's go i mean these things are not common you're going to a very rare

01:20:06.560 type of uh situation nascar did have an event yesterday though uh it was yeah i think it was

01:20:10.960 last night or the night before uh where 20 000 people were in the stands uh in 160 000 seat venue but

01:20:17.900 uh they were there were people there that was positive to see uh although like a city like

01:20:22.980 philadelphia has canceled all city events through march 2021 that's good that's good the city is

01:20:31.100 better off for no city event in the city of philadelphia you're much better off uh speaking of

01:20:38.640 nascar you see that danica patrick uh she got a divorce and i have to apologize to her husband

01:20:45.040 but you know it's it's well known that danica is just infatuated with me i don't

01:20:52.880 and uh i don't think that's uh i don't think she was married was she was she was uh together with

01:20:59.020 someone would they broke up however uh and you think you were the cause well yeah and uh it's

01:21:05.640 it's sad but uh danica i just have to tell you try to work it out with him because it's not

01:21:11.860 happening with us i'm happily married and it's just not happening with us i know you look for hotties

01:21:17.880 and uh and that's i mean that is practically my middle name at this point hottie

01:21:24.500 why are you making that face do i don't uh well i'm physically revol uh i'm having a revulsion

01:21:32.400 repulsed by yeah thinking danica yeah i know she's not that hot you've heard me talk about my

01:21:40.420 takovas boots and how much i love them and what a great company they come from it's a small business

01:21:44.820 that's doing things the right way down here in texas well given the challenges that we're going

01:21:49.080 through as a country takovas has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time

01:21:53.900 i put on my takovas boots the cowboy now you know i'm not a working cowboy but i know some of those

01:22:00.240 guys and not being one of them i wouldn't pretend to be but what i see in them i see in other people

01:22:06.120 too because in many ways cowboy is just a mindset an uncompromising can-do attitude a willingness

01:22:13.420 to help even when it's really hard and most of all the cowboy knows that the good guys always win

01:22:19.940 in the end so as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into

01:22:25.320 shape takovas has the boots you need find your pair at takovas.com t-e-c-o-v-a-s.com slash back

01:22:33.760 takovas.com slash back and what do you say let's all be cowboys have you noticed that nobody is really

01:22:42.540 talking about swedish socialism anymore you're not hearing that you're hearing about full-fledged

01:22:48.620 marxism you're talking about the disruption of capitalism the overthrow of the united states

01:22:54.000 you're hearing venezuela and cuba being praised they've moved on from that swedish thing yeah sure

01:23:00.180 just like we told you they would these are marxists so what does this mean well i know i know you can't

01:23:08.360 trust any white people so i got somebody of color to talk to us um and that's not demeaning at all to

01:23:17.140 say that we're just looking at people for what color they are no no no we don't judge people by

01:23:22.980 the content of their character anymore although this guy's character i guess did play a role at 13 years

01:23:30.240 old he was in he was in cuba uh and he saw the transition of of fidel castro he says crazily

01:23:41.700 it's not what all of these people on the streets say it was and he's warning americans now your dream

01:24:10.900 i have no idea um and if anyone tells you that it's crazy to talk about the the death of the dollar

01:24:18.660 um they're either extremely ignorant or they're lying to you um the the dollar is in real trouble

01:24:29.260 because we're printing all of this money that we can never ever pay back um it is the last uh bubble

01:24:36.840 i talked about it in 2006 said it would eventually come it's the everything bubble uh they're now calling

01:24:43.260 this the money bubble um there's no way for any of this to work so we need to save every dollar we

01:25:48.160 maximo alvarez president of the sunshine gasoline distributors he's a cuban immigrant uh and he has

01:26:00.800 been speaking out and i thought you needed to hear his voice he's a cuban immigrant that is warning

01:26:06.180 now that the american dream is under threat he came here to america when he was 13 and he saw the

01:26:13.000 revolution in cuba maximo welcome to the program thank you glenn and uh it's an honor um i've always

01:26:22.180 admire um your way of thinking i admire you for being one of the few people in the press who really

01:26:29.740 tell our country what is going on um objectively as possible um because everybody's afraid to

01:26:38.960 tell the truth i guess in the name of being politically correct um everybody's become literally

01:26:45.460 a hypocrite yeah maximo i i i'm so glad to have you on um because i've um one of the things i've i've

01:26:56.160 always had a big fan base of uh immigrants especially the immigrants that come from uh communist countries

01:27:04.960 in the eastern bloc or cuba uh and i think they have the most important voice and it's not being

01:27:11.640 highlighted and i gotta believe that even though you were young you remember enough um of what was

01:27:19.060 happening over in cuba that it must be a little terrifying for people who came here and have seen

01:27:27.000 communism and marxism and how it overthrows countries it must be a frightening deja vu

01:27:35.180 glenn it really goes further than that um i happen to have learned from mom and dad who had to

01:27:45.460 migrate from spain to cuba at the turn of the century running away from communism so i knew

01:27:53.620 firsthand how difficult and how painful it was for families who were being destroyed for no reason

01:28:02.760 families who had nothing to do with politics families who had nothing to do with government

01:28:08.000 it was just hard-working families so i grew up in that environment and then shooting off

01:28:17.180 by the time i'm 11 years old um the same thing happens in cuba and i remember uh my dad uh trying to

01:28:29.380 convince my mom while listening to castro's words while he was up in the mountains he used to broadcast

01:28:36.660 uh uh uh radio at night and you know shortwave radio and i remember my dad and i mentioned this

01:28:43.400 uh when the president was here uh my dad used to tell my mother how he thought that that sob was a

01:28:51.580 communist and my mother used to even argue with him and said how can you say that you know he was

01:28:59.820 raised by the jesuits he's roman catholic his entire family as a matter of fact the very catholic church

01:29:09.280 helped save his life the very catholic church pretty much helped finance his revolution

01:29:15.760 and and then i happened to be part of the catholic church my education was all catholic

01:29:24.600 and then all of a sudden my school was taking over and all of a sudden the marriage brothers

01:29:30.400 were hiding because they were being persecuted so they had to go and hide in embassies or leave the

01:29:38.680 country because their life was threatened these are the very people that helped the castro regime take

01:29:46.460 over and and you know what is really sad the media fidel castro never took over batista's regime

01:29:56.480 batista left batista left december 31st 1958 at midnight after he celebrated new year's eve

01:30:03.560 and he left because he lost control of the country

01:30:08.000 and guess what guess who actually was one of the biggest factors

01:30:15.180 that batista leaves the media they were destroying batista

01:30:20.800 and then a few months later what happened to the media what happened to

01:30:28.480 el diario de la marina el diario del mundo this is equivalent of the new york times

01:30:33.240 and the washington post what happened to say mq that's the equivalent of cnn there's no free press

01:30:40.620 and what is amazing is these people in the press do not understand that they will be the first ones

01:30:45.400 out of here but when they find out what they did is too late way too late so i had the chance

01:30:54.720 to speak in the panel when president trump was here and uh just told me to tell you a story and i'm

01:31:03.040 humbled to tell you it's amazing how my little story has impacted so many people because i'm telling

01:31:12.080 you glenn my story is just one of many many many many millions of people running away from

01:31:18.600 communism looking for the land of the free and it's amazing it's amazing that we don't appreciate that

01:31:27.640 and i remember and i said it in my speech and i'll tell you and this is something that will resonate

01:31:34.840 with me until i die how my father came from spain to cuba at the age of 18 never to go back

01:31:42.600 work his ass off and when he's about to enjoy the food of his labor he saw my brother graduate

01:31:50.840 he had to get sent him because he was in that age that he was going to be indoctrinated

01:31:58.520 and soon after that he had to send me out because they had taken over the schools

01:32:04.920 and i remember when he finally gets over here and he tells us this is a man of a sixth grade education

01:32:12.760 this is not a philosopher he didn't go to harvard he didn't go to yale

01:32:18.040 but a very wise man who used to tell us how lucky he was because he was able to go from spain to cuba

01:32:26.600 and to cuba to america and he said don't lose this place because you're not going to be as lucky

01:32:32.840 so this is what i'm trying to warn and i'm amazed that that little story which is only one of many

01:32:40.680 millions of stories has been so positive has gone viral and i'm humbled to know that

01:32:48.440 i'm pretty sure it has helped quite a few people understand what the reality is

01:32:55.480 so maximo first of all thank you for sharing that especially about your dad

01:32:59.480 i that's got to be a painful uh memory um the uh you you said that your mom looked at castro and

01:33:09.640 said how dare you could say he's a communist so it's the same is it the same thing every time where

01:33:16.280 people are just duped and they believe that this time it is different uh and these aren't the monsters

01:33:24.920 that rule at night glenn this is the same old story it doesn't change we need to explain to people

01:33:37.080 that the communist philosophy is based on the fact that the ends justify the means

01:33:43.400 the ends justify the means on on our side we have the judeo-christian values

01:33:51.560 we cannot steal we cannot lie we cannot kill we got to own our mom and dad we got to honor god

01:33:59.720 we got to respect people and on top of that we have to forgive our enemy

01:34:07.480 now on the other side they will do whatever is necessary to accomplish their objective

01:34:14.680 if they have to tell you they're catholics or they have to tell you they belong to

01:34:18.120 certain religion they will if they have to kill you they will they have just look at history look

01:34:26.840 exactly what happened in cuba no one would have ever imagined that fidel castro was a communist

01:34:33.720 no one if you look at the just go on the library any of the books any of the history books

01:34:41.960 where they have these pictures coming down from the mountains every rebel everyone had a rosary

01:34:47.160 hanging from their necks

01:34:52.680 and he always claimed that he was as i said catholic apostolic romano that's roman catholic

01:35:00.440 he was educated by the jesuits and it was not until two years after he had taken over power

01:35:08.280 that he declares that he's a marxist

01:35:09.960 and if you look at and if you have read the book by saul alinsky if you see what is happening that's

01:35:20.760 exactly what is happening in every of this country that's what happening in our backyard today that's

01:35:26.520 what happened in cuba that's what happened in venezuela that's what happened in nicaragua

01:35:31.720 make sure that everybody what is what is everybody what is what are the cuban refugees what are the cuban

01:35:44.760 families uh feeling and and how can they help is there any movement in those families to come together and

01:35:54.200 to form a block and speak out because i think they could be a real powerful force here here's the

01:36:01.640 problem glenn and i don't know i'm not an expert in the matter because i don't have the numbers of the

01:36:07.880 statistics but if you look at the wave of cubans who come over right after castle take over

01:36:14.600 uh we came here with a shirt we weren't on our back as a matter of fact i'm an original member of the

01:36:23.800 peter pan group those are the kids who came without parents over 14 000 of us um if you look at and i

01:36:31.240 know this for a fact uh as a group of 14 000 we have done very very well um but what happened is after

01:36:39.960 that you go through the years fidel castro has more people infiltrated in our community than you can even

01:36:48.280 imagine fidel castro has a very very big sophisticated intelligence machine those people killing young

01:36:58.200 people in venezuela are not venezuelan students they're cubans those people killing nicaraguan where

01:37:04.280 their students were demonstrated they were not nicaraguan they're cubans because fidel castro

01:37:11.640 exported terrorism the minute that he took over cuba i remember the word terrorism wasn't used

01:37:17.400 it used to be guerra de guerrillas that was guerrilla warfare which one person can create enough fear

01:37:26.280 that will destroy the economy that means for example you cannot go to a theater you cannot go to a

01:37:32.920 restaurant because all of a sudden a bomb will explode and it gets so far out of hand that people

01:37:39.800 are afraid to go out the government says you're not protected after six o'clock in the evening so better

01:37:46.280 stay home and what happens to our economy capitalism and fear are not synonyms you cannot be a capitalistic

01:37:57.320 economy with fear with fear and this is what is that's why it's called terrorism look what is happening

01:38:03.800 today and and our own governors mayors this this is amazing i see the guy in new york painting the street

01:38:16.760 and all they do is use people to create dissensions to create hatred

01:38:22.760 and that's what they do they they are there are the and that and that mayor

01:38:30.840 right and that uh uh that that mayor happens to be uh a guy who loves uh castro's uh cuba

01:38:39.720 i've got to run but i want to ask you one one more question do you worry about a boycott from the left

01:38:44.840 like they did to the goya foods ceo for his support of trump

01:38:48.680 glenn um let me tell you um i've been here now since 1961 i have done a lot better than i expected

01:39:01.240 to do if i die or i lose everything for this country i will be here probably

01:39:08.280 so no i have no fear and i'm telling you what they have done to goya is the best thing because

01:42:40.360 wednesday of this week we did a show about how the family is under attack and all of a sudden the

01:42:47.960 numbers uh on facebook and google and uh and youtube they just fell through the floor and we're like wait

01:42:57.480 a minute that's strange what could be happening because we noticed that the stream going to blaze tv

01:43:04.040 the show gets bigger and bigger every week and this last week was no exception but only about 1400

01:43:10.840 people saw anything on youtube this week which was strange yeah it does seem well it turns out it's not

01:43:18.040 underperforming other videos a little bit uh for some reason yeah yeah um and so we called because we thought

01:43:26.600 it's got it's got to be aliens all right it's got to be something supernatural turns out not so much

01:43:33.480 youtube facebook banning us because well of the sources and some of the things we said i'll talk about it next

01:43:43.400 deboran lives in massachusetts for years she dealt with terrible terrible hip pain after a while it got so bad

01:43:49.640 that she was having trouble sleeping at night uh deboran i can relate to that long night staring up

01:43:57.960 the ceiling doing your best just to wish the pain go away it's like it's it's like that for not only

01:44:03.880 her and it was like that for me but millions of americans well deboran decided not to take this lying

01:44:11.000 down no pun intended she heard about relief factor on my show and she was determined she's going to give

01:44:16.040 it a shot what did she have to lose but more sleep well you know the rest of this story literally

01:44:21.800 within a few days the inflammation in her hip began to subside and deboran got her life and her sleep

01:44:27.160 back now relief factor is not a drug but it was developed by doctors uh it's 70 of the people who try

01:44:34.200 it the stat is they go back to order more relief factor the next month and the next because it works

01:44:41.640 try the three-week quick start trial pack and see if it'll work for you

01:45:16.200 missed some go back about four weeks and pick it up uh we are on it we are on it and showing you what's

01:45:24.200 really going on this last week on wednesday we did a special on the destruction of the family

01:45:29.960 there's nothing more evil than saying you want to destroy the family but that is what's happening

01:45:35.080 not only from black lives matter uh but happening from several organizations and we pointed them out

01:45:40.840 this is a well orchestrated and very well financed operation black lives matter by the way is not just

01:45:48.200 some little scrappy little group of people it's an incorporated business now and it has 1.6 billion

01:45:56.840 dollars in its coffers why anyone else would give a dime to these people is beyond me um imagine what

01:46:06.360 can be done uh in uh for good or for ill with 1.6 billion dollars and i know what you mean by these

01:46:15.160 people uh marxists yes exactly right yeah um soros acolytes yes okay um the uh uh imagine

01:46:26.680 just what you could do with 1.6 billion dollars with either good intent or bad intent you could

01:46:32.200 change a lot of things with 1.6 billion dollars a lot um you know i'm looking at your at the

01:46:39.400 coverage of that you've put out the past few weeks and this shows have been really big i mean you know

01:46:44.440 hundreds of thousands of views on youtube and i know that's only one of the places where it gets shown

01:46:48.200 and gets you know the facebook and on the on the platform on blaze tv blaze tv.com slash glenn the promo code

01:46:54.120 save the family if you want to check it out uh but we know the numbers are really big there we know

01:46:58.680 the numbers have been really big all of these weeks you know hundreds of thousands of views i mean even

01:47:02.760 if you take one of the lower ones you're talking about 50 000 views on youtube and then yesterday's

01:47:08.200 show just 10 000 the day before yesterday sorry yes no it was actually it was two days ago and yesterday

01:47:15.560 it was at 1600 and uh so when i got that number i said hey how did the show perform expecting it to be

01:47:24.200 really big because it's a very powerful message um and uh they said uh yes uh 1600 people

01:47:34.040 on you and i said excuse me uh what about facebook and they said about the same excuse me

01:47:38.840 we have almost what 3 million or over 3 million subscribers on facebook and 1600 people on facebook

01:47:46.040 or 2000 people watched it what uh and uh we found out what the problem was um believe it or not uh we

01:47:56.360 were shut down almost immediately and uh squashed because their fact checkers had a problem with some

01:48:03.560 of the facts um and the facts that they had a problem with uh were related to the the the stats on the

01:48:10.520 black family now i say related to because it wasn't an argument with the stats we used but apparently we

01:48:19.400 got those stats out of a uh out of a study that was done uh that had at the end of the study one of the

01:48:29.640 facts they had was wrong and so we said oh okay well which fact did we have wrong and they said oh no none

01:48:39.480 of the facts you used just that this came from this study and one of the facts in the study was wrong

01:48:49.720 but but were any of our facts wrong no but you quoted that study and we just it it was a violation of

01:48:56.760 our policies so we just needed to just needed to squash that down to protect people that's true

01:49:03.960 that is true so you mean it's not they're not even saying the thing you said on the air was wrong which

01:49:09.480 again i don't i don't know if you've ever watched youtube there's like three correct statements per

01:49:13.880 month made on youtube that's not exactly a center for um uh exact language but they're saying not that

01:49:22.920 that you said something wrong but that you quoted something from a study that had something else

01:49:28.360 wrong in it so the thing you quoted yes that we didn't reference okay that makes a lot of sense

01:49:33.800 yeah yeah so they're they're just going the extra mile just to make sure that you know you are super

01:49:39.720 protected from a dangerous words like people are intentionally trying to destroy the family it's

01:49:45.960 evil here are the names of the people that are doing it the groups that are doing it here's how they

01:49:50.840 are financed and oh by the way here are the actual stats on the family uh even though all those things

01:49:58.200 were right uh we came close to reading a study uh and uh and we came dangerously close i mean within

01:50:06.760 pages of using a fact that was incorrect you know it's interesting we didn't use it we talked about the

01:50:12.840 smithsonian thing earlier this week um and we've you talked about the black family and how they're trying to

01:50:18.600 get rid of the nuclear family in from black lives matter and you quote from their manifesto exactly

01:50:26.200 that they want to get rid of the nuclear family because it's not i guess it's white culture or

01:50:30.200 something the smithsonian pamphlet that they put out same story it's part of white culture for the

01:50:36.360 mom and the dad to be in the home and to have a couple of kids and to have a my a family structure

01:50:41.160 which to me again comes as a completely racist statement to say that that's white culture it's not

01:50:46.520 white culture first of all hispanics i bet hispanics have a better familial situation than whites do

01:50:54.680 it's just i bet there are more moms and dads with their children in hispanic homes than there are in

01:51:00.040 white homes i mean how racist is that yeah and they go through uh all the things in the smithsonian

01:51:05.640 flyer that are this is all white culture self-reliance independence uh nuclear family is the ideal

01:51:12.840 children having their own rooms objective rational linear thinking quantitative emphasis uh hard work

01:51:19.880 is the key to success work before play i thought that one was really racist too like so you're saying

01:51:25.640 that black people play and don't work what are you what are you saying here we're saying that only white

01:51:31.880 people work hard and then they play afterwards um being polite is white culture this is like

01:51:38.680 offensive to the the millionth degree um and you talked about it yesterday and the day before well

01:51:45.080 after you've talked about it they pulled it off the site for the smithsonian uh yesterday with an

01:51:50.360 announcement saying like hey we created this great thing so that people could understand uh you know uh

01:51:56.200 the real white supremacy context yes it's just yeah they didn't admit it was wrong they just said you know

01:52:01.800 look this is distracting from the conversation well the website itself is still up we're gonna go do

01:52:08.600 this tonight on stew does america stew does white fragility uh because uh they they continue to go down

01:52:15.800 this line they have videos posted from the author of white fragility this book you've probably heard of

01:52:21.400 at this point um which has become the bible essentially to uh to this sort of new uh blm i don't think you need to

01:52:29.160 say to this or any it's just become the bible there are a lot of people in the audience that are

01:52:34.600 that are being forced by their companies to read it yeah and it is you know it's a massive collection

01:52:40.280 of nonsense basically a repetitive uh sort of pseudo intellectual nonsense uh we'll go through some of

01:52:46.840 that tonight too but it's like you look at this and it's all still on the site so the site that you paid

01:52:52.440 for with your tax dollars they just pulled down the flyer that was controversial however they left all

01:52:59.800 the other stuff up there people telling you you know like one guy talking about how he he's had to

01:53:05.000 have a have a white man's caucus so what and that what that means is a bunch of white men get together

01:53:12.760 and i'll confess to each other how their whiteness is affecting the rest of the world in like some sort of

01:53:20.120 weird club meeting i guess uh you know white fragility uh how to how to stop your whiteness

01:53:26.840 how to turn that off because you might think you you know you obviously want to get rid of it uh it's

01:53:30.760 really bad um how do you how do you get rid of that uh you know the fact that you say things like i want

01:53:37.000 to treat everybody equally they specifically say statements like that are racist that is the that is

01:53:44.600 fundamentally if you say like oh i want to have um you know like i'll treat everybody the same i don't

01:53:49.000 care if you're pink or you're polka dot you know they come out and specifically call that out as

01:53:53.000 basically hate speech because that's not authentically trying to understand how you are white and everyone

01:54:00.680 else isn't and they want to make race a bigger issue it is a full all-out frontal assault on martin

01:54:08.200 luther king that's what this movement is um i tell you you're doing that tonight uh on your show

01:54:52.920 going to go out for the subscribers it's on demand only it's my friday exclusive i want to give you a

01:54:58.360 little taste of it it's very very different but i just took the news of the week and i surrounded it

01:55:05.560 with all of the words that i found in 1984 and i presented it like the telescreen in 1984 and i'm

01:55:14.120 telling you it works the news that we are hearing is the news update from 1984 you don't want to miss

01:55:22.280 this here's a little clip of it this is the voice of big brother bend bend lower do we hear insubordination

01:55:34.280 in your mind yes right now you are asking does big brother actually exist of course we do but you

01:55:44.680 do not nothing belongs to you all things belong to us and the movement and the party this is the woke

01:55:55.640 party we are here to empty you then replace you with ourselves we are speaking to you now from the

01:56:05.240 ministry of love building a place where there is no darkness we are speaking to you from everywhere as

01:56:15.160 unorthodox tendencies threaten to destroy the woke party you cannot let this happen

01:56:22.600 the time is 13 o'clock in the age of big brother and this is your morning citizen brief

01:56:31.560 the thought crime endemic continues to ravage what used to be called america thought crime is death

01:56:39.880 the ministry of innocence in conjunction with the thought police have once again been victorious in the

01:56:46.360 capture and re-education of our enemies we at the woke party love the destruction of words but more than

01:56:55.640 anything we love the destruction of people people are meaningless destruction is building two so-called

01:57:06.200 police were killed in an ambush last week and in a final act of white supremacy one of the men's

01:57:13.480 daughters expressed her disdain for the woke party and her hatred for persons of color when she tweeted

01:57:21.960 hashtag blue lives matter for this crime she must forego any grieving she had planned and issue a series

01:57:31.640 of apologies she must donate to lgbtq causes and shop at black owned businesses remember problematic words

01:57:43.880 are violent it is called discursive violence repeat it now discursive violence stop so this is just

01:57:54.360 that's just a clip and by the way that story is is real that the the one that's exactly what happened it is the

01:58:02.760 the prophecy where two plus two equals five that actually happened this week again uh critical thinking is not

01:58:11.160 allowed uh so i deliver it the way 1984 would i want you to know all of the stories in that are real just the rest of the wrong

01:58:22.040 think uh is either from critical theory or from george orwell's 1984 where war is peace freedom is slavery

01:58:30.840 ignorance is strength 5 p.m eastern it will be posted uh blaze blaze tv.com slash glenn and save the
