I want to tell you something. My wife and I, we were buying a bed and in this showroom they had a big massage chair.
00:00:38.780
And it was fabulous and paid way too much money for it. And I was showing it to a friend of mine who has a really bad back.
00:00:44.900
And he said, that's nice. How much that cost you? And I told him, he's like, yeah, I have chirp.
00:00:49.780
And I'm like, what the hell is that? And he says, chirp contour. And he had it in his bag.
00:00:55.900
He was visiting me and he had it in his bag and he put it down on the floor. He said, lay down.
00:00:59.840
And I laid down and I put it, he said, you can put it in your chair. You can do anything. And it is, it's wildly affordable.
00:01:07.260
It's really, really good. It's a massage that will adapt to your body, your weight, your height, everything else.
00:01:14.000
And you can set it and control it. And it is fabulous. Your heat, the pressure, the massage that it'll do.
00:01:22.160
It is really good. If you have a bad back or just muscle, you know, pain, chirp contour for people who are done settling for good enough kind of relief.

00:02:52.120
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
00:03:32.280
It is so funny. Today, if I'm not mistaken, today is the day the world found out that Barack Obama, on what, week two of his presidency, had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:03:44.540
Now, the guy who's not going to get a Nobel Peace Prize, who actually earned one, Donald Trump, on that anniversary day, announces peace in the Middle East.
00:03:59.540
Now, it's got a long way to go, but everyone involved is shocked at this.
00:04:09.920
Hopefully it holds, but looks like the hostages are coming home on Monday.
00:04:15.000
We'll give you the details on this coming up in just a second.
00:04:19.680
Pain doesn't just slow you down. It rewrites your life.
00:04:22.020
It starts scheduling your days around what hurts, you know, making excuses for the things you can't do that you used to do or you used to love.
00:04:32.540
What if you could take back your mornings, your hobbies, your life, just one simple packet at a time?
00:04:43.320
It is a daily supplement that is specifically designed like ibuprofen and everything.
00:04:48.580
I think they have two major ingredients that work on inflammation.
00:04:53.240
This has four of the ingredients that are known to work.
00:04:57.840
It combines them and it gives your body the ability to fight inflammation, which is what causes most of our pain and quite honestly, most of our disease as well.
00:05:29.300
I mean, it could go away tomorrow, but let's have faith.
00:05:37.640
No, we were talking about the peace in the Middle East.
00:05:46.620
And who would have ever thought that you would have Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and
00:05:53.740
kind of Jordan all in saying, we're with the United States and Israel.
00:06:05.220
These are all things that could not have possibly existed very recently.
00:06:11.920
I mean, I've talked to Donald Trump about so many different things, but the best example
00:06:16.720
of this is he will not allow me to ask him a question about assassination in the future.
00:06:26.280
I've asked him, are you concerned about, I don't even want to talk about it.
00:06:40.080
And he never will call something into existence like that.
00:06:45.820
You can believe him or not believe him, but he will not ever do that.
00:06:50.260
He only tries to think positively about things.
00:06:57.060
Where everybody else said, you know, State Department says, can't be done, can't be done.
00:07:04.360
He just walks in and he's like, hey, everybody, what do you say we change the game entirely?
00:07:09.900
What is it going to take for all of you to recognize Israel?
00:07:15.500
Israel, what is it going to take for you to stop?
00:07:18.420
And Gaza, what is it going to take for you to return the hostages?
00:07:23.700
I mean, it's just this big thinking where he doesn't say, can't be done.
00:07:45.620
And that's why he's able to cross these, you know, these lines that people just don't think things are possible.
00:07:51.620
Even if, you know, we don't know how this is going to turn out yet.
00:07:57.900
There's a million things that could go wrong with this peace deal.
00:08:00.140
And, you know, scriptures tell us, not going to last.
00:08:05.400
But just the attempt, like, it's the, I would say, argue the same thing with Ukraine and Russia, right?
00:08:10.460
Like, he went in there with this idea of, I'm going to solve this.
00:08:19.840
And it's not that, it's not that he can control other people, because he can't.
00:08:23.400
He can't control how Putin looks at it, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:31.820
Everybody tries to nibble at the edges on everything.
00:08:39.620
It's because he comes in, he's like, yeah, we're not doing it that way anymore.
00:08:46.000
You know, look at the difference in the State Department.
00:08:53.820
Marco Rubio is like one of the best State Department officials I've ever seen.
00:09:03.160
Have you ever, have you seen a better Secretary of State than him?
00:09:09.240
And it's because they're just saying what's true.
00:09:15.740
I mean, they will compromise, but not on the principles.
00:09:19.200
If these hostages are not returned on Monday or Tuesday, it'll be over.
00:09:24.460
He's not going to go, okay, well, let's give you some more money.
00:09:31.720
Is this his best issue of his entire presidency going back to the first term?
00:09:43.180
Because I think, you know, I would, I, my argument would be the border probably, but,
00:09:47.160
and I do think this second term, the border has been an overwhelming, unquestioned success.
00:09:55.220
But like, I think the basis for what happened here was set in the first Trump term.
00:10:02.780
This is really something that has extended over both terms.
00:10:04.960
He didn't get enough credit for it in the first term.
00:10:08.560
And as soon as they came in, it was all reversed.
00:10:21.980
They always say, you know, warmonger and all these other things.
00:10:24.140
I think he really does believe that to his core.
00:10:27.680
And the only reason I think this stuff might be possible, and again, with all disclaimers
00:10:33.420
aside for a moment here, because we do know this is a very difficult road ahead on this,
00:10:39.560
This is not, hang on, just, this is not just a difficult road.
00:10:48.080
How many times were we burning up on the launch pad?
00:10:54.220
And that's a, we all, we've already started to see Hamas whine about stuff.
00:11:00.840
But the basis for this even to be possible was set up in his first term with the improvement
00:11:06.780
of relationships between these other Arab countries in the region and Israel.
00:11:10.740
The fact that, I mean, you think people are like, oh, what's Israel even giving up here?
00:11:14.780
They are allowing, if this goes through, a bunch of these countries that for the past
00:11:20.340
half century have attacked them every three years.
00:11:30.600
Just since their founding have been attacked by these, a lot of these countries over and
00:11:34.760
And oftentimes in coalition with each other, they're allowing them to come in and if this
00:11:41.000
goes down the road, oversee part of their own country.
00:11:48.300
And they only do that if they actually had some trust with these nations and, of course,
00:11:53.060
trust with the United States to help enforce it.
00:11:58.860
And this, this was planted with the other countries last time with the Abraham Accords.
00:12:04.040
They gain trust, but the Palestinians didn't have any trust because remember we're the
00:12:11.560
great Satan, you know, little Satan, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:14.140
He has gotten the rest of the countries in the Middle East to say, no, they're not the,
00:12:37.900
And, and, uh, Donald Trump and everybody was like, wait, what are you doing?
00:12:41.920
Donald Trump came out and read Benjamin Netanyahu, the riot act and said, apologize.
00:12:54.740
He, you don't, you can't take Donald Trump at the moment alone.
00:13:06.980
When he said that he knew that was the key there.
00:13:10.560
Now they're all saying now that was the key because, uh, when he did that with Qatar and
00:13:25.100
That separated the United States from Israel as, you know, just a little, uh, you know,
00:13:33.260
It showed that the president is a, a fair and neutral broker and we'll look at both sides.
00:13:48.340
That was the moment that the Palestinians said, okay, now, wait a minute.
00:13:54.340
Maybe he is a somewhat honest broker for being the great Satan.
00:13:59.880
That's what brought this to a head and brought everybody to the table and said, okay, we can
00:14:10.040
Uh, this is, you know, it's unequivocal here and this is a, uh, you know, you, you still
00:14:15.000
have to get this over the finish line, but these are, uh, uh, incredible accomplishments.
00:14:20.520
They're accomplishments that every, I mean, it has become for as long as I've been involved
00:14:25.740
in politics and world events and cared about it at all.
00:14:36.920
It has been the joke that it's impossible, that it will always be promised.
00:14:42.440
And, you know, again, we got to get there, but like, this is as close as we've ever been.
00:14:46.520
Would anyone ever say Gaza should be the Riviera?
00:14:51.700
You would say no, no, Donald Trump, his vision from the beginning has been, this can be prosperous.
00:15:04.680
So he got the Middle East together and the Middle East now says, we'll rebuild.
00:15:12.140
We don't, I don't want a dime going to rebuild that.
00:15:17.100
They'll guarantee the peace there because they'll have their money invested in it, in hotels and golf courses and whatever they want to do and make it the Riviera.
00:15:27.940
That changes everything, all the dynamics, because now the Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Qatar and everything else, they're going to be pulling, pouring billions of dollars into it.
00:15:49.700
The guy, if he doesn't get a Nobel Prize, assuming this, the hostages come home next week, you know, God only knows.
00:15:59.380
And I think they would just dissolve the award before they gave it to him.
00:16:04.160
They would, they're like, no, no, no, no, that Nobel Prize thing.
00:16:11.820
Like there, but he will quite obviously deserve it if this happens.
00:16:17.460
Have you heard what the rest of the world is saying about him?
00:16:20.080
I mean, all the leaders from all over the world are like, this is amazing.
00:16:24.140
And the only reason it happened is because of Donald Trump.
00:16:28.480
How do you, how do you, how do the protesters, if this ends, I mean, this is, this is why it won't end if it doesn't, because there is too much power that they'll be giving up on the streets of Europe and America and all over the world.
00:16:48.640
How do you have the Palestinian protesters on the streets tearing our cities apart?
00:16:55.800
I mean, this is just genius from start to finish.
00:17:03.200
By the way, we have a story to tell you about this Texas business owner who criticized the H-1B visas and is now just being hammered.
00:17:19.600
And when you hear the story, you'll be like, wait, freedom of speech.
00:17:22.940
Well, I mean, what, what, what, what is happening?
00:17:29.440
And I had a private meeting yesterday with Governor Abbott.
00:17:43.560
And again, Donald Trump, Donald Trump reached out and said, I need the Texas National Guard.
00:18:03.800
When your house goes quiet, that's when you notice everything.
00:18:06.560
The hum of the air conditioner, the headlights drifting across the wall at night, the creaks
00:18:11.200
and groans that makes your house, I don't know, a little unnerving at times, unless you
00:18:17.680
SimpliSafe builds a layered perimeter around your house.
00:18:22.600
Motion and glass break to catch what you can't see.
00:18:27.720
Life safety detectors for smoke and CO and CO2 and water.
00:18:35.800
24-7 professional monitoring can verify it and get help fast.
00:18:42.500
There's really, you know, no wires, no holes in the wall, no strangers camped in your living
00:18:47.380
You customize the system, place the sensors, connect the app, and you're protected the
00:19:17.780
Okay, so let me just talk about, you know, the shutdown here for a second.
00:19:30.640
I don't think, I mean, I think the shutdown show America, what government, you know, what
00:19:40.760
And, you know, with an exception of the air traffic controllers, which, by the way, if I
00:19:48.920
You are essential to the economy, to the security, to everything in America.
00:19:54.240
You, just like Reagan said, you don't strike or I'll fire you and replace you.
00:19:58.700
Um, he's got to figure out a way to get the, all of the essential services paid and moving.
00:20:04.880
And then I, I got to tell you, I, I would just be like, no, we're not negotiating.
00:20:09.620
And I think if, I think if this president went four months and he could cover all of
00:20:19.880
No one would care because they're getting everything.
00:20:23.420
And then he could say, yeah, you know, 40% of the government's not even showing up for
00:20:32.320
You could convince people that the sky doesn't, you know, fall planes don't fall out of the
00:20:39.980
skies, uh, but he's got to cover the essential services.
00:20:49.680
Um, that's interesting that people are now like, what is Antifa?
00:21:03.300
There's nothing you can do about it, but might as well just let them burn things down.
00:21:05.840
So funny because that's what the show I did last night was, you know, is Antifa just a,
00:21:12.160
uh, you know, a group of ragtag rebels that there's no, there's no, uh, you know, organization
00:21:21.580
And I went through some of the possible funding for Antifa, uh, and just ask the question all
00:21:27.380
the way, wait a minute, this group we know wrote a million dollar check to Antifa.
00:21:32.900
If there's no organization, who did they make the checkout to?
00:21:42.340
I also showed you last night that Fidelity and Charles Schwab, their charitable services
00:21:52.000
Uh, if I had Charles Schwab or, or Fidelity, I would, charity, their charity arm.
00:22:00.140
What, what, what are you, what are you doing with it?
00:22:02.140
Um, but I mean, it's all going to come out in the wash because the president met in the
00:22:10.580
One of them was a blaze reporter, um, who has, you know, frontline experience with Antifa
00:22:15.380
and, uh, talk to them about, you know, what they see, what connections they see, et cetera,
00:22:22.500
And, uh, I got to tell you, I think he's going to take them on.
00:22:27.240
It's going to be a tough one because there's so much money involved.
00:22:30.980
And when he starts going into things like act blue, you start peeling that onion and you
00:22:38.000
just see the layers come off over and over and over again.
00:22:41.080
And when, if, if he actually does that, it's going to change the world, but the left is not
00:22:51.740
But, you know, maybe we don't have the Palestinians in the streets trying to burn our cities down
00:22:57.720
now and, you know, trying to kill the Jews, et cetera, et cetera.
00:23:01.200
So maybe we take that one off the table and we just have to deal with Antifa here for a
00:23:10.400
Like you read some of the coverage, the New York Times has a story as Israelis breathe
00:23:22.200
I thought maybe, maybe because Hamas didn't approve all the previous efforts and didn't
00:23:29.320
That's, that's actually what I think is the actual answer to that question.
00:23:32.580
I was thinking that maybe because Hamas and Hezbollah were set up by the Grand Mufti after
00:23:41.500
And so they've been wanting to kill the Jews the whole time and, uh, won't accept a two
00:23:52.280
With much of the country off to work, uh, off from work, people danced in circles along
00:23:57.860
the main Tel Aviv thoroughfare, huge billboards had appeared that read, thank you, President
00:24:09.500
Obviously, you know, uh, you know, peace in the military is great.
00:24:21.020
You're a French spy, which I keep you my employee because French can't do anything right.
00:24:34.440
Everything's lost for you right now, right now, but you can still go on prize picks and

00:25:48.440
So there is a Texas business owner who has had his life and his family's life turned completely
00:25:54.240
upside down because he made a social media post and he was criticizing H-1B visas.
00:26:09.500
Uh, I want my kids to grow up in America, not India.
00:26:22.420
Of course, nobody read that as anything other than absolutely racist.
00:26:37.760
Uh, somebody to claim to have access to millions of Indian Americans, uh, across America tried
00:26:47.520
He said, like, that's not what, that's not what I mean.
00:26:50.740
Um, now his church, I think has kicked him out of his church.
00:27:09.540
So let me ask you about the initial comment first.
00:27:14.900
Yeah, well, I certainly didn't mean it, uh, in, in racial terms.
00:27:20.680
Uh, my, my, uh, what I was trying to express is, is my opposition to the immigration policies,
00:27:27.380
uh, which is, which is why I called out the H-1B visa in particular.
00:27:32.680
Uh, and, uh, yeah, it just obviously was, as you mentioned, was, was definitely construed,
00:27:39.840
Uh, and I was, you know, accused of having, uh, racial animosity as opposed to, uh, just
00:27:45.200
wanting better, uh, wiser immigration policy for our country.
00:27:50.400
I heard somebody yesterday, I was standing by somebody and I just overheard a conversation
00:27:54.820
and they said, um, they live someplace here in Texas and they have exactly the same, uh,
00:28:01.300
And what they were saying was, you know, I grew up in this neighborhood and it has fundamentally
00:28:10.080
And I'm not saying that, you know, they're deadbeats or anything else.
00:28:13.840
It's just a completely different culture that is not American.
00:28:19.140
Um, and that happened before with Italian, you know, Italians moving in, et cetera, et cetera,
00:28:25.380
But, you know, there, there should be some, uh, desire to, you know, um, meld into our society
00:28:39.140
Um, but it's getting more and more rare, uh, with, with immigrants and certainly not happening
00:28:46.820
Uh, and you know, what's interesting, uh, I think a lot of people would find interesting
00:29:03.580
And then it was foreign attacks, bought attacks on the business.
00:29:07.700
So interesting enough, you know, they didn't, they didn't deem it as racial, uh, as racist.
00:29:12.260
And they actually have reached out to me, many of them to, to voice their agreement.
00:29:15.900
They, they, they see, uh, the violation of sort of the, the normal immigration, you know,
00:29:23.300
standard of, of assimilation or even a visa fraud.
00:29:27.560
And they, they too also think there needs to be reform and needs to be a pulling back
00:29:35.180
Uh, it's such a concentrated area specifically here in Dallas too.
00:29:44.440
You, I mean, you have gone to this gym forever.
00:29:47.080
They know you, you even talked to them for a while and, you know, after this, um, and
00:29:53.740
And then all of a sudden you lose your gym membership.
00:29:57.640
And then the one I really want to talk to you about is your church.
00:30:08.780
So the, with the church, uh, obviously initially when the, the post went viral, it got, it got
00:30:13.960
significant traction, uh, which when I posted it, I had 300 followers on X, not as significant.
00:30:20.360
I was really just speaking to friends and people I knew.
00:30:23.420
Um, but yeah, it went viral and obviously the threats came pretty, pretty quickly.
00:30:28.040
I, I sort of in a panic deleted it, you know, thinking I wasn't expecting to be a public
00:30:38.700
So, uh, talking to my wife in the middle of the night, we deleted the post and, um,
00:30:44.760
or I deleted the post and, uh, following up the church reached out to me and you would
00:30:49.520
think that the church was concerned with the extortion and the threats and the, the accusations
00:30:55.520
and the attacks in the business, but they were very, very concerned with the public image
00:31:00.560
of the church being brought in to my expression of the opposition of the policies.
00:31:13.020
Uh, no, it was, it was easily accessible that like I was a member, I'm a heavily involved
00:31:18.720
I lead, I was leading Bible studies, leading community groups, coordinating services.
00:31:22.880
So I was not a, I was not on staff, but I was as about as involved as a member as, as
00:31:30.100
So they know you, um, and they call you in and they say, this is your post was uncharitable.
00:31:39.660
So they interview you and it's not really, it doesn't turn out to be like, Hey, let's
00:31:48.060
It seems almost like an inquisition, at least the way I have read about it.
00:31:55.360
So immediately following the post, it was a phone call with three elders and me and them
00:32:02.280
expressing that they, they deemed it as, as racist and not quote, not loving my neighbor.
00:32:07.980
And, you know, obviously my opposition to that was which, which neighbor are we talking
00:32:11.960
Because I'm, I'm acting out of love for my friends and the members of the church who are
00:32:19.780
And they, they were more concerned with how an Indian immigrant might understand what,
00:32:29.420
That was a couple of hours, about an hour and a half conversation.
00:32:34.580
And then actually that was the Wednesday that Charlie was, was assassinated.
00:32:42.600
Uh, it gave me some fortitude, uh, looking at the, uh, just the impact he had on my life
00:32:50.980
And so it gave me, it gave me some fortitude to, to continue to express that.
00:32:58.460
I thought that, um, I was honoring God and, and, and caring for my neighbor.
00:33:04.060
And, uh, I was willing to kind of suffer the consequences if, if they wanted to continue
00:33:09.880
And it was in that meeting that they expressed that I, this was church discipline that I was
00:33:15.080
in the process of, which is Baptist is a very serious thing at the end of typically
00:33:20.080
for congregationalists, it's, you're brought before the church and you're voted to be removed
00:33:26.940
And so that was very concerning that I was in the process.
00:33:29.720
I never in my life thought that I would be in the process of, of church discipline.
00:33:35.340
And, uh, Charlie, Charlie's death kind of changed the dynamic a little bit.
00:33:43.600
She's, uh, eight and a half weeks pregnant or eight and a half months pregnant.
00:33:47.540
At that, at that point we're due the next week.
00:33:50.080
Um, and so she observed and it was seven elders and me, and they peppered me with questions
00:34:00.360
The questions were in depth, nuance of my views on the issue.
00:34:04.920
And I just, it just answered them with, you know, it's not, I don't have a racial animosity.
00:34:11.140
I worked with international students for three years, sharing the gospel with them.
00:34:14.680
I have tons of affection and love for a good dynamic of immigration policies that has a,
00:34:21.380
has a sunset and they're returning back to the country and, and relieving on good terms
00:34:26.280
Their concern, uh, was that, uh, just the policy itself, my position, the expression of my position
00:34:39.240
And I just wholeheartedly disavow that and don't, don't affirm that, uh, made clear my views on race
00:34:46.880
I don't view, view people with racial animosity or hatred.
00:34:50.380
In fact, I think these policies actually, when done incorrectly, they lead to racial animosity.
00:34:55.840
When you, when you bring in so many people at one time into one area and you see that you talk
00:35:01.620
to people and you hear about them feeling like they're losing their country, there's a, there's a,
00:35:06.720
there's a, there's a animosity that, that's kind of stirred up and there's, there's not brotherly
00:35:11.620
love and affection for one another when that happens.
00:35:13.980
And there should be as much concern about the people who feel that way.
00:35:19.580
You should have as much concern about, Hey, let's sit down.
00:35:26.960
Let's find the way to slow down or whatever it is, not stop, but to make sure that you're
00:35:35.620
What, I mean, so what was the outcome with the church?
00:35:39.660
Yeah, certainly it's a right to express that, right?
00:35:41.860
And so the outcome was it ended with, uh, another meeting, another two hour kind of meeting
00:35:47.860
because I'm not willing to admit that I send in this way.
00:35:52.440
I am therefore not submitting to the elders and I need to find another church.
00:35:56.640
I'm not, I'm, I was asked formally to leave the church.
00:36:00.500
They did not bring me before the church to vote.
00:36:02.860
So there wasn't in their terms on a technicality.
00:36:08.320
I was just told with the seven, with eight elders and staff that I was, I needed to go
00:36:14.920
to another church, which I said, okay, uh, give me like, I'll do that, but I need to find
00:36:20.860
And then ultimately they ended up making comments to the church, uh, verbally.
00:36:25.300
And when, uh, saying that I wasn't a member, which was news to me, uh, and my wife as well.
00:36:32.900
We said, Hey, we, we do want to continue to be members until we find a new church.
00:36:41.940
And, uh, and then I, you know, the, the, the articles, uh, went and were published and
00:36:58.680
We've, we've had, we've had, uh, numerous people reach out to us, express, Hey, you're
00:37:06.140
And so we've got a list of, of great churches, I think, and great pastors who have been even,
00:37:12.600
I kind of reached out to other pastors just to get some other perspective.
00:37:15.420
Like, am I, am I, did I send, did I really do something wrong?
00:37:20.080
And, and, and they kind of were able to counsel us, actually counsel my wife and I through the
00:37:25.060
Whereas the elders just wanted to kind of run an inquisition on me.
00:37:29.100
Why do you say, why do you think they did that?
00:37:31.320
But what, what, what, what, I mean, I think that they are very concerned in the most charitable
00:37:40.020
I think they're concerned with me being a, a stumbling block for people to come to, to
00:37:53.480
And, and I, I, I think that was the primary concern, I would not be a member of any church.
00:37:59.180
There's no way any church would, I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've had, you
00:38:03.740
know, even in my own church, people say, well, he's a member.
00:38:09.560
Well, we don't, don't go to church because of the members go because of the truth of
00:38:15.880
We're all on the path of trying to be better people, trying to get to the truth one way
00:38:25.940
That was, that was something I expressed towards, towards the end was it ultimately was like
00:38:29.440
my final concern and is my, the reason why I'm, I'm willing to talk about it publicly.
00:38:33.760
And of course I'm being accused of, you know, sowing division and all these things after
00:38:39.740
Um, but my, my, my issue that I see, and I hear these stories of people who deal with
00:38:46.120
the same thing is that the church, there, there are things that the church, that maybe leaders
00:38:51.100
in the church value over that are, uh, maybe they're, they're, they're landmines and
00:38:57.620
these are major sins to them and in their eyes, they're not major sins in terms of, or
00:39:03.500
even sin, you want to say in scripture and that where they overlook the clear objective
00:39:09.500
sin taking place in the church, they have no problem devoting so much time and attention
00:39:16.080
and energy to something that is very within the Christian liberty, uh, area, uh, liberty
00:39:25.720
So Daniel, I, I am, uh, I'm sorry for what you've gone through and I know you've learned
00:39:31.540
an awful lot and hopefully the church has learned, uh, something as well.
00:39:36.420
Um, but I wish you all the best of luck and, uh, you have a right to speak your mind peacefully,
00:39:42.740
calmly, uh, and, uh, and have your own opinion.
00:39:53.040
I have to tell you now is the time for courage.
00:39:57.660
If it's not now, when, if, if you feel something is wrong, you must speak out because if not
00:40:07.740
you, who cowards everywhere speak in peace, speak with love, speak the truth with empathy.
00:40:33.480
Uh, these sound, any of these things sound familiar.
00:40:36.120
You've got the monthly stack of bills, the credit card, the interest that never seems
00:40:41.140
The feeling that your paycheck has already spoken for before it even arrives.
00:40:44.280
You ever wonder, is there a smarter way to deal with all of this debt and life?
00:40:49.980
And American financing starts with a simple conversation and a clear set of numbers, your
00:40:59.880
Then they build that custom plan, that way for you to breathe again.
00:41:04.720
And maybe that's refinancing to, to a payment that fits.
00:41:07.620
Maybe that's consolidating double digit credit card debt into one predictable monthly, you know,
00:41:13.440
Maybe it's shortening the term so you, you know, get in your home sooner without feeling
00:41:20.140
They don't get paid by the banks to make loans.
00:41:27.960

We just have to be willing to listen to one another, correct one another when we think
00:42:34.820
And unless they're causing violence, live with it.
00:42:41.460
You know, I'm sorry, but there are going to be people you disagree with everywhere.

Down the road where shadows hide, near the dark on every side.
00:45:39.300
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:42.380
It is Thursday, and there is a lot of good news and a lot of things that we need to pay attention to.
00:45:50.920
It looks like the security cabinet meeting, the Israeli security cabinet meeting, they passed the Gaza ceasefire plan.
00:46:04.480
There was celebration in the streets of Gaza, as well as in what's called Hostage Square in Tel Aviv.
00:46:16.080
I think he'll be in Egypt early next week to sign this peace deal.
00:46:20.920
This is a huge, huge, major win for the world and for peace and anybody who, you know, really despises war and killing.
00:46:31.240
Thank you, President Trump. It was an amazing deal.
00:46:33.740
We'll talk about that a little bit more this hour.
00:46:36.420
Also, I want to talk to you about some of the things that are happening up in Canada, if we have time.
00:46:40.420
And Carol Roth joins me next because I'm very concerned.
00:46:49.760
And one of the questions from the audience was, how long before gold hits $5,000 an ounce?
00:47:01.280
But you don't want to hope for that if you own gold.
00:47:09.620
And I want to also talk to her about an AI bubble because that would be very, very dangerous.
00:47:16.260
Will that pay any kind of dividends to stabilize our economy?
00:47:21.380
We got a lot to talk about with Carol Roth in 60 seconds.
00:47:31.300
And the plan that fit last year may not fit in the year ahead.
00:47:35.120
Most people hit remind me later and later becomes higher bills and fewer options over the next 12 months.
00:47:41.500
Chapter treats this like preventative maintenance, not before the panic button.
00:47:47.340
So right now, before enrollment opens on October 15th, a licensed chapter advisor will reveal that will review your real life, your doctors, your prescriptions, your travel specialist and budget.
00:47:58.720
Then they translate all of that fine print, compare all of the carriers and show you the plain numbers, the annual cost, not just the teaser premium.
00:48:08.900
Most advisors for Medicare can only represent a few companies because they don't they don't have access to everything.
00:48:17.260
Chapter is a tech company and they let high tech take your information and then go out and search everything.
00:48:26.260
Really, chapter, understand your options, fix what's off and walk into next year ready.
00:48:32.860
If you're on Medicare, you're going to get on Medicare.
00:48:53.600
And I'm actually celebrating my 26th wedding anniversary today.
00:49:07.140
It's a good amount of time to be married for sure.
00:49:10.580
So, Carol, let's talk a little bit about the price of gold hitting.
00:49:23.660
I don't think the average, this is my guess, and I want you to correct me.
00:49:26.840
I don't think the average person is buying gold.
00:49:29.700
I think this gold buying is happening from sovereign funds and central banks, mainly.
00:49:38.320
I don't think Americans really understand what $4,000 an ounce means.
00:49:45.040
You know, obviously, I think that the world, both investors and central banks, are catching
00:49:51.820
up to the things that you and I have been talking about for years.
00:50:00.920
Interestingly, you know, as you noted, the average American is very behind in terms of
00:50:08.900
When you look at Chinese households, when you look at Indian households, there are estimates
00:50:14.340
that each one of those countries' households owns about up to 30,000 tons of gold at this
00:50:21.920
point, which, to put that in context, the U.S. government owns 8,133 tons.
00:50:28.940
So the Indian households, all of them combined, 27,000 tons.
00:50:39.220
So the households in China and India are really ahead of the curve.
00:50:44.120
When you look at data for the U.S., it's a little bit hard to get good data.
00:50:48.780
But from what I've seen, the estimates are only about 10 to 11 percent of U.S. households
00:50:58.020
Now, I know that your audience is very sophisticated and is ahead of the curve, and I would imagine
00:51:03.240
blows through that number, but just shows how sort of unprepared U.S. households are, you
00:51:10.320
When you're looking at Indian and Chinese households that own gold, is that, does that include all
00:51:18.420
That's actually, particularly in India, sort of one of their preferred ways of procuring
00:51:25.360
So gold has shot up over $4,000 in record time.
00:51:36.880
So there are a confluence of factors, and I think the two most important factors, which
00:51:42.420
of course are linked, are what Wall Street is now calling the debt debasement trade, which
00:51:49.060
they've just caught on to and gave it a cute name, and the changing global financial order
00:51:57.420
Tell me what the, what is it, the debt debasement, what is that?
00:52:01.660
They're calling it the debt debasement trade, which is just basically what you and I have
00:52:07.080
been talking about, which is our unsustainable fiscal position and what all of the money printing
00:52:13.780
that we've seen over the past, you know, 17 years, what that has done to our purchasing
00:52:22.100
So as a reminder, you know, our debt to GDP is at emerging market crisis levels.
00:52:31.860
We're running deficits that are equivalent to a wartime level or a recession level while
00:52:41.000
We have interest rate that is outpacing defense or interest payments that are outpacing defense
00:52:48.160
So everyone is now finally catching on to the fact that this is an unsustainable financial
00:52:55.060
position and it is going to be very difficult to get out of without there being some sort
00:53:02.060
of additional debasement of our currency, which is a fancy way of saying a diminishment of your
00:53:10.320
What's really crazy, there's a chart that's been going around and they did kind of a comparison
00:53:21.180
So if you look from the end of September 2018 out seven years and you look at the top 100
00:53:28.320
NASDAQ non-financial companies, it's called the NDX, in U.S.
00:53:38.900
But in gold terms, solid money that doesn't have its value debased, it's only up 4.7 percent.
00:53:49.320
The S&P 500 up 133 percent over that period in dollar terms.
00:53:54.780
It's down 27.6 percent in gold terms and what's called the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which
00:54:02.960
is the value of homes, the way that that's measured, in dollar terms up 60 percent.
00:54:07.860
Well, I'll say, oh, you know, houses are so expensive.
00:54:14.280
In fact, right now, it takes less gold in terms of ounces to buy the median single family
00:54:21.300
house than it has in, you know, decades and decades and decades.
00:54:26.240
So it goes to show that even though we see these dollars, they're buying less and less.
00:54:32.320
And now, you know, you and I have been talking about this forever, but now Wall Street is
00:54:38.200
And so in terms of preserving the hard-earned capital, we need something that is that hedge,
00:54:45.740
that neutral hedge that's going to retain its value.
00:54:48.080
And that's why more investors, institutional investors, funny enough, a lot of millennials,
00:54:55.180
more than anyone, starting to really get into gold.
00:55:00.900
Because millennials have not been trained their whole life, trust the system.
00:55:09.360
And they look at it and they're like, well, this doesn't make any sense at all.
00:55:13.040
You can't spend this and, you know, you're going to wreck the dollar and everything else.
00:55:17.020
They just see it without being trained over and over and over again that, oh, no, trust
00:55:25.200
And once you realize that system is rigged in a million different ways and the system
00:55:29.540
is not telling you the truth, like, I mean, that is amazing.
00:55:33.880
When you look at the stock market and you say it's actually down when you compare it in
00:55:40.180
U.S. dollars to gold, what's happening is, let me explain this to the audience, what all
00:55:46.760
that means is gold is only going up in dollars.
00:55:55.120
But it's costing you more because of inflation.
00:56:00.500
So it looks like you're paying more, but you're really not.
00:56:04.260
It looks like the stock market is going up, but it's really not.
00:56:10.220
If you were going in with gold, you'll actually see that if it was all done in gold, the stock
00:56:20.480
It takes more dollars to buy than it does with gold, which holds its value.
00:56:26.240
That is, if people could understand that one thing, that changes all of the conversations
00:56:33.600
of the government's got to do something to make housing more affordable.
00:56:44.180
I mean, if you think of the three definitions of money, it is a medium of exchange, you know,
00:56:52.380
It's a unit of account, which we say things are priced in dollars.
00:56:58.340
The unit of account that you just talked about, my friend Steve Forbes has a great analogy,
00:57:06.420
You know, imagine that your clock, you know, one day, you know, 12 o'clock, you know, means
00:57:18.800
And then the same measurement is like a foot a different day.
00:57:22.280
You can't have a consistent measurement if the unit of account continues to change.
00:57:28.800
And that's what we've been seeing here with the dollar.
00:57:31.300
And unfortunately, it has not been to our favor, which means that when you work really
00:57:36.120
hard to earn something and it's valued in a dollar, that over time, that work that you've
00:57:43.140
put out, your productivity is worth less and less.
00:57:46.440
And so what gold is meant to do, it's meant to be capital preservation.
00:57:53.280
It's not meant to take on risk and, you know, maybe go up a ton and maybe go down a ton.
00:57:57.860
It's really meant to be a counterbalance to what you have earned so that you can preserve
00:58:04.780
You know, I've been saying this for a long time that, you know, you put your money and
00:58:08.620
I have money in the stock market, but you put your money in the stock market.
00:58:15.400
You're going to cash out for an awful lot of money, but those dollars, it's going to be
00:58:21.760
Those dollars will be worth less, even though there's more of them stacked up than that ounce
00:58:28.440
of gold or that, you know, 10 ounces of gold or whatever you had.
00:58:33.140
The stock market is paid in dollars and so as the inflation goes up, but gold keeps its
00:58:47.200
So yeah, you're going to be paid more in dollars if you try to sell your gold, but that's going
00:58:51.780
to continue to increase while stock markets will go down.
00:58:58.240
So if things were to shift and for some reason, you know, things were to change with the dollars,
00:59:04.580
which would need, you know, a lot of different catalysts, and then your gold goes down, it's
00:59:09.440
a counterbalance, which is why it's important to have that diversification in your portfolio
00:59:16.320
What's interesting, Glenn, is just the history.
00:59:18.880
We're talking about millennials, you know, they went through the Great Recession financial
00:59:22.420
crisis, you know, they're kind of, you know, keyed into this.
00:59:25.220
But if you think about when we came out of the 70s with this crazy inflation, we came
00:59:30.280
out of the gold standard, it used to be very commonplace for a financial advisor to sit
00:59:40.060
And so you should be putting, you know, five to 10% of your portfolio in gold.
00:59:45.600
As the stock market took off in dollars and became this big thing and they started seeking
00:59:52.780
And financial advisors who don't get paid sometimes at all when you allocate to gold,
01:00:02.080
Now we're seeing, you know, oh, yes, you should have some.
01:00:05.400
Some of the big names out there are saying even more.
01:00:11.240
Yes, we've seen from big names like that anywhere from 10 to 20.
01:00:14.740
And when they surveyed high net worth investors, which are $250,000 or assets or more, they're
01:00:22.480
averaging right now 21% of their holdings in gold.
01:00:26.620
So a very big flip in recent years on how this is being viewed by the people who have
01:00:33.580
accumulated those dollars and are worried about that.
01:00:36.260
Okay, so let me just summarize here before we move on to some other questions.
01:00:42.100
That is exactly what my grandfather who lived through the depression said.
01:00:45.540
What are the people with big, large amounts of money doing?
01:00:50.820
And if I would have done that, I would have been better off in the Great Depression.
01:00:53.340
You just heard it, 20% or more, right, for big dollars, they're investing in gold, 20%.
01:01:08.580
Some of the portfolios we're seeing, some of that is coming, not necessarily from the
01:01:12.680
equity piece, but from the fixed income piece, which is pretty interesting, too.
01:01:18.140
Okay, let me switch gears with you here in just a second.
01:01:20.700
I want to talk to you a little bit about the shutdown, and I want to talk to you about
01:01:28.560
There is a sound, a steady measured thump that says, I'm here.
01:01:36.640
When a woman walks into a pre-born clinic, she isn't asking for a lecture.
01:01:51.280
And at that moment, decisions get made with information instead of feelings, fear, or guesswork.
01:02:00.620
Donors like you and me who keep the lights on so the screen can line up.
01:02:04.040
If you want your generosity to do something tangible, this is it.
01:02:12.420
There are babies and moms who desperately need your help right now.
01:02:16.640
This is why the truth matters now more than ever.
01:02:21.520
Just $28 provides that truth through a free ultrasound.
01:02:25.060
This is your chance to make a difference that will echo through the eternities.
01:02:44.840
I am on a plane as soon as I get off the air here.
01:03:00.460
And I'm headed up to the University of North Dakota today where I will be doing a couple events.
01:03:09.100
And you can get your tickets at turningpointtour.com.
01:03:13.940
I am bringing millions of dollars worth of artifacts to show what you're learning in school and what the truth is.
01:03:25.760
I'm standing in for Charlie Kirk in University of North Dakota.
01:03:29.340
Then I'll be back here tomorrow morning to do another show.
01:03:34.380
Before we move on, we spent all that time talking about the debt debasement trade.
01:03:40.580
Do we want to talk about the changing global financial order piece on gold, too, or do we want to come back to that another time?
01:03:47.860
I mean, can you mention and sum it up in a paragraph about what BRICS and everybody else is doing?
01:03:53.020
So basically, for the last 14 to 15 years, the banks around the world have not been buying our treasuries on net.
01:04:02.320
They've been net selling them when you look at it all together.
01:04:08.600
And the power center for gold is starting to shift to the east.
01:04:19.360
And they're really making that a de facto reserve currency.
01:04:23.000
So if you want another piece of what's going on, central bank buying of gold used to be about 10% of the volume.
01:04:30.580
And all of the suppression and the price that used to happen out of the London paper market is now being challenged by what's going on in the east.
01:04:40.460
And that's part of the reason why we have seen this move that should have happened a long time ago start to really move and accelerate.
01:04:48.420
So, and I want to make it clear, you know, the reason why the United States became the world's powerhouse is because we lent money to Europe.
01:05:04.500
And we had the power to be able to say, we're going to base everything.
01:05:08.880
And it's going to be based on the gold because we have all the gold.
01:05:19.580
And the other countries now are piling gold in.
01:05:23.280
So if things repeat, as they always do, especially when you're talking about mathematics,
01:05:30.280
those countries that are piling up the gold are going to be the ones after the big crash to say,
01:05:36.200
we're going to provide the currency or we'll just make all of the trades based in gold,
01:05:41.540
which, you know, is basically what we were doing, you know, when we had an actual dollar based in gold.
01:05:50.960
And I want to talk to you a little bit about the shutdown, how that is affecting things.
01:06:03.640
There are only seven companies that are actually driving the S&P 500.
01:06:23.480
Each one standing for a life lost on October 7th.
01:06:26.740
Now multiply that image across campuses and church lawns and synagogue grounds all over America.
01:06:33.580
A hands-on act of remembrance and solidarity led by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:06:38.560
This marks the second annual flags of fellowship of communities uniting all across the country, saying,
01:06:47.500
More than 1.5 million flags are flying nationwide as congregations and schools each plant 1,200 in honor of the victims.
01:06:55.360
A visible, unmistakable testimony that faith can still bridge divides.
01:07:00.280
The movement began this season with a ceremony at Kibitz near Oz in Israel.
01:07:05.280
It continues with flagship weekend services, the World Outreach Church in Tennessee,
01:07:10.560
joined by hundreds of partners, churches, synagogues, universities all across the country.
01:07:16.100
This is a way to turn grief into light and prayer into action.
01:07:20.020
How can you join the historic flags of fellowship movement?
01:07:31.920
It's every story we talk about every day, and it's available at glennbeck.com.
01:07:36.320
The author of the book, You Will Own Nothing, Kara Roth, is with us now.
01:07:55.240
She's one of my favorite economists because I think she sees things for what they really are.
01:08:03.160
I want to talk about the shutdown with her, but I want to start with the AI bubble.
01:08:07.100
There's a lot of talk about the AI bubble, and I don't think people really understand because they see the stock market going up.
01:08:13.240
But if you look at the S&P, that's only really seven companies that are driving the gains here.
01:08:24.920
So if it is a bubble, or even if it is not a bubble, but there is some sort of shock to the system, we have not diversified.
01:08:39.740
Something happens to AI, and the bottom falls out.
01:08:47.300
So I actually probably have somewhat good news for the first time ever.
01:08:56.460
There's definitely truth to what you were saying, but I do think that there's another side that make it a bit different than the dot-com bubble, at least we hope.
01:09:09.220
So since April, when the stock market went a little bit crazy, what they call the magnificent seven companies, the big names out there, the Amazons and the like, basically those have accounted for a little over half the gains in the stock market.
01:09:29.660
Because there is so much money being thrown at AI.
01:09:33.880
You know, certainly right now, everything is an AI company because everybody wants dollars.
01:09:39.720
So if you scoop ice cream, you've figured out a way to make your ice cream better with artificial intelligence because that gets you a little bit of a bump.
01:09:48.820
And we know that the valuations are nonsensical.
01:09:54.220
And what we'd like to see is what we call a broadening of the market, which means more stocks and more sectors and more sizes of companies, you know, not just the big guys, but, you know, the little guys, too, doing better.
01:10:10.420
The small cap stocks have increased significantly in 2025.
01:10:15.840
We are seeing that, you know, those are captured in a different index than the S&P 500.
01:10:20.320
So we are seeing a bit of that, and that's good news.
01:10:23.380
Where I think this is different than the dot-com bubble is if you look at companies, you know, like Microsoft, like NVIDIA, that, you know, do have these crazy valuations, these are not like the companies.
01:10:39.980
These are companies that are substantially large technology companies that were worth, you know, half a trillion, trillions of dollars before AI came into the picture.
01:10:51.540
And if you go back, you know, over the years, they've switched to the hot thing.
01:11:05.520
So my guess is that there's probably something in their pocket that's post-AI quantum computing or, you know, whatever it is.
01:11:14.960
The next hot thing that if this doesn't come to fruition in the way that, you know, it may not because it is disruption is lagging.
01:11:25.340
Some of the adoption is lagging and it doesn't become, you know, this big game changer that we think it is, that at least you have these solid companies that aren't going to zero, that have a diversified base in terms of, you know, their own business and probably have the next hot thing that is going to sustain it.
01:11:45.960
So I do think it's different, certainly from a venture capital standpoint, you know, where dollars are being allocated, they are all going to AI.
01:11:57.780
Sixty percent of those companies, it's estimated, are pre-revenue.
01:12:07.600
So when you think about the Internet, when we had the dot-com bubble, that was kind of the first wave.
01:12:13.180
And some of the companies that went out, you know, the infrastructure caught up.
01:12:20.140
You know, we didn't have dot-com, but we have Chewy.
01:12:22.300
We didn't have WebVan, but we have, you know, DoorDash and Instacart.
01:12:28.240
So I do think you're probably going to get some volatility and shifting here.
01:12:32.700
But I don't think that we're looking at the same, you know, kind of meltdown that we were.
01:12:41.220
I just want to be able to get 20 minutes of shut-eye not thinking about that.
01:12:48.060
I'm somebody who believes if he could find a way to stabilize the air traffic control and get all of the essential stuff down,
01:12:58.240
I would be happy with a government shutdown forever.
01:13:03.000
You know, because I think you could make the case.
01:13:05.460
If you could stabilize things, you could make the case, hey, everybody, we've got 40% of the people aren't going to work,
01:13:11.520
and they haven't been going to work for three months.
01:13:16.760
I mean, I think it would be a great experiment.
01:13:23.900
Can we stabilize things to keep going this way?
01:13:33.860
You know, as long as we can get the military and air traffic control paid and all of that.
01:13:42.520
So right now, if you look at Wall Street, you know, the investors don't seem to care.
01:13:48.380
They don't seem to think that there's enough that's going on.
01:13:52.200
And I think what shifts that and what changes that is if it goes on to the point in time,
01:13:58.240
and I don't have a date for you, but at the point of time when it starts to either impact the market
01:14:04.620
and or it impacts the economy in terms of consumer spending.
01:14:11.040
I understand spending if people aren't getting paid.
01:14:14.880
But the same thing with the stock market is that there is a wealth effect linked there,
01:14:21.460
is that when people see their 401ks going up, you know, they feel like they're wealthier
01:14:27.800
and that they're willing to go out and to make purchases.
01:14:31.600
And when they see that going down, they get concerned about that.
01:14:42.600
And the reality is, given our precarious financial situation that we've talked about,
01:14:51.100
We cannot afford for capital gains collection, tax collections to go down.
01:14:54.940
We cannot afford for the economy to contract and not have that same revenue base
01:15:01.600
That means it's going to have more interest expense.
01:15:05.660
So that's the real concern is that we need to keep that.
01:15:10.000
And the things that you mentioned, you know, the air traffic control,
01:15:14.400
you know, that's not going to be great for consumer sentiment if that becomes a big issue.
01:15:18.920
And the other thing is that nobody wants to see the people who serve us in the military,
01:15:23.660
active duty military, they don't want to see 1.3 million people not get a check.
01:15:30.120
That's coming up in, you know, I think a week or so.
01:15:33.600
Isn't that, I mean, when a government shuts down, isn't it supposed to be on all non-essential?
01:15:51.480
My guess is that they will probably have some sort of tiering and, you know,
01:15:56.180
based on the amount of money that they have available, certain things happen first and
01:16:02.640
But we know that the government's coffers aren't in a great position right now either.
01:16:12.360
But I think that's, you know, how that works and they see how much money is available for
01:16:18.960
You know, the other frustrating thing, and I've only got about four minutes and I've got
01:16:23.900
But the other frustrating thing on this is, this is only a stopgap for, when do we hit
01:16:30.360
I mean, when will we get serious and actually do a budget?
01:16:39.320
You know, you're asking me to rationalize crazy.
01:16:46.020
We have so many ways that we can right our ship and put us on a good path.
01:16:52.960
Congress, if Congress doesn't get serious, and they are right now not incented to, then
01:17:02.180
So we need to find a way to hold them more accountable than just, oh, you're not going
01:17:07.800
I think that we need to really seriously rethink the accountability of the people who are supposed
01:17:13.380
to quote unquote represent us, who are truly, really only representing their interests and
01:17:22.540
Everything that's happening right now, we said would happen in 2008, 9, 10.
01:17:28.000
And even the Washington Post came out, I think it was this week or late last week, with an
01:17:32.160
op-ed from the editorial board, the whole board, saying it was never going to work.
01:17:40.300
What is coming off the table are these subsidies that were given due to COVID.
01:17:49.020
Now everybody is, you know, acting like that was always part of Obamacare.
01:17:54.940
We have to not just keep throwing good money after bad.
01:18:02.500
But I don't see anybody on the left, I'm sorry, on the right, offering any kind of real strategy,
01:18:10.300
and people are going to be hurt when those Obamacare premiums go up.
01:18:19.800
Yeah, I mean, actually, you're seeing people on the right saying that we should be extending
01:18:24.680
the subsidies because they know that when people see their premiums and see them go
01:18:29.940
through the roof, which, by the way, they're going to go somewhat through the roof anyway
01:18:33.180
because some of the insurance companies have baked in and said, you know, we expect there's
01:18:37.800
going to be political dysfunction, so we're just going to bake that in anyway.
01:18:40.840
But, you know, because midterms are coming up, you have Republicans actually saying, oh,
01:18:46.680
we should probably extend these for some period of time.
01:18:54.060
I mean, health care is just an absolute mess in this country, and I've seen really great
01:19:01.280
Ovik Roy has had some really thorough proposals, but it really means, you know, uprooting and
01:19:09.020
And I don't know that politically there is the appetite to do things that are necessary
01:19:18.180
They want to kick the can to somebody else because, again, as we were talking about with
01:19:21.480
accountability, they just want to get reelected and say that they did something and, you know,
01:19:29.240
They don't want to actually solve our problems.
01:19:32.080
And, you know, it was never going to be affordable care.
01:19:38.060
We knew that this was going to be an absolute mess.
01:19:42.520
And, you know, that's been a frustrating point with Republicans forever is that they identify
01:19:49.700
But there has never been a really solid proposal while there are ones that are sitting out there
01:19:55.160
from from great thinkers on how we put it in place.
01:19:58.480
And there just doesn't seem to be the political will.
01:20:01.240
So, you know, once again, we need to figure out a way to create that accountability.
01:20:05.660
If we want these problems solved, we cannot just assume that electing, you know, a handful
01:20:11.500
of good people and a bunch of mediocre and bad people is going to fix that.
01:20:20.200

Let me talk to you a little bit about Burn a Launcher.
01:20:48.260
I'm headed up to Fort Wayne, Indiana next week.
01:21:05.300
I wish you were coming with me, Stu, because I know you love Fort Wayne as well.
01:21:13.860
I'm going to be able to try to swing over to see the people over at Berna, because they
01:21:19.280
And I think they were, I think 20% of the stuff was made here in America, you know, five,
01:21:28.260
When Trump put in the mandate and said, hey, want everything here in America, they did
01:21:33.200
And I think they're 90% of their parts now are made in America and all hand put
01:21:44.380
And honestly, I don't know why every teacher does not have one of these in their desk.
01:21:52.140
But if somebody was shooting in the hallway, you could open up your doors and shoot a tear
01:21:57.440
gas pellet at that gunman and you could save lives.
01:22:02.100
I honestly don't know why more people don't have this.
01:22:04.620
I honestly don't know if you have kids in college, why you haven't given them a Berna launcher
01:22:14.840
It's legal in all 50 states and it saves lives.
01:22:24.960
Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse, but you find the location near you at Berna dot com
01:22:56.040
Somewhere out there right now, a criminal might be just sitting down in a coffee
01:23:00.160
shop, you know, latte in one hand, laptop in the other, quietly stealing your home without
01:23:07.320
They forge your name on a deed and they file it electronically and suddenly the county records
01:23:16.360
And months later, you're getting foreclosure notices about debt you didn't create.
01:23:22.940
If you think of it kind of like as a home alarm system for the document that proves that you
01:23:32.520
Any sign that, you know, someone is trying to transfer or forge or tamper with your home.
01:23:37.920
And if that happens, you're alerted instantly before the thief can do lasting damage.
01:23:47.320
You know, all the stuff that you do on a normal day to day basis.
01:23:50.280

We've got a lot to talk to you about next hour.
01:24:40.660
Um, you know, one is the, the, the California fire.
01:24:56.820
I was like asthma inhaler and everybody knows they're, you know, they're equal.
01:25:00.640
You people with asthma and your little inhalers, it's a equal to half a million trucks on the
01:25:06.060
Uh, and, uh, you know, thank you for the fires.
01:25:11.220
Uh, so that was my guess, but apparently not that and not even climate change.
01:25:19.900
And a guy and a guy who is a leftist that hates capitalism.
01:25:50.260
USA Today said hotter, drier, and more flammable.
01:25:53.780
Scientists say climate change fueled the LA fires.
01:26:00.180
What, what fueled it was again, uh, butane in his little lighter.
01:26:10.620
I guess I have to apologize to all of the people I just called planet killers and baby killers.
01:26:16.700
You know, all the, all the former friends that I had that have asthma.
01:26:21.640
I guess I have to apologize and say, I'm sorry.
01:26:23.840
I really thought you were responsible for the forest fires, but apparently not.
01:26:35.280
You know, everybody always talks about being prepared, but few people actually are.
01:26:38.680
You know, when you have food, water, flashlights, even a generator, uh, but if you don't have
01:26:43.200
access to antibiotics, especially when you need a most, you're not really ready.
01:26:48.000
When a cut gets infected, when strep starts to spread through your family, or when a supply
01:26:52.640
chain breaks down, the pharmacy doors stay locked, uh, when you realize, uh-oh, everything's
01:26:58.500
kind of falling apart here, at least for a little while.
01:27:05.400
It's a supply of prescription antibiotics that you can keep on hand for emergencies.
01:27:10.060

We want to talk about, this is not just a Gaza peace deal
01:29:29.620
It's something that's never, ever been done before
01:29:44.420
Is saying that Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Prize
01:29:56.380
I mean, it was harder than opening a Cracker Jack box
01:30:00.480
Which I think is all that Obama had to do to get a Nobel Prize
01:30:04.120
This is historic, what was announced last night
01:30:10.440
We'll talk about that and so much more this hour
01:30:19.280
And it seems like there isn't really any middle ground
01:31:04.220

01:31:14.420
Realestateagentsitrust.com is a place where you'll find
01:31:43.840
Part of this is going to be Hamas coming through on promises
01:31:47.020
I have very little belief that they are typically able to do such things
01:32:23.780
Hey, you want to invite him over for Thanksgiving
01:32:37.320
I do think that there might be a little bit lower
01:33:19.520
So far, it is already the greatest opportunity we've had
01:33:25.420
And only possible because of his dedication to this idea
01:33:42.140
You know, we're not talking about peace between Gaza
01:34:04.520
We'll want to make it into a very prosperous kind of area
01:34:50.520
I hope you realize that that's not what we do here
