00:04:12.920 but it is and i'll explain why in 60 seconds first we are living in a time when

00:04:18.520 people are starting to question what matters most stocks rise they fall governments change but one

00:04:24.460 thing never ever changes and shouldn't change and it's your responsibility to stand with god's people

00:04:30.580 right now i mean you should read prophecy because all you have to do is open up the newspaper or go

00:04:36.520 online you'll see prophecy in the headlines every day israel is at the center of all of it right now

00:04:42.880 and there are israeli families who are going to bed hungry who are hiding from missile attacks

00:04:47.720 god's chosen people under attack from enemies on all sides the world is turning a blind eye but the

00:04:54.720 international fellowship of christians and jews is not the fellowship is there right now providing food

00:05:42.860 you had it seemed like you had a wonderful trip oh yeah yeah uh i mean i have a different view on

00:05:48.200 nato now uh i'm very clear on my stance of nato wait this incredible vacation you had you're back

00:05:55.140 with a nato take uh yep yep uh we should not be allies with the european union period you know why

00:06:02.220 they don't understand ice germans drink their beer warm what good is warm beer uh i almost hugged

00:06:14.080 the guy on the uh plane coming back yesterday when he said uh would you like ice with that i almost

00:06:20.000 broke down in tears and said yes yes i want ice with that they don't understand ice nobody uses ice

00:06:27.960 in any of their sodas their water nothing they give it to you warm and room temperature at best

00:06:34.080 ice is not a complicated formula i can show you how to make it europe and quite honestly if you don't

00:06:44.460 get something as simple as ice i don't think we send a i am not sending my son or daughter over to

00:06:50.000 fight a war for people who don't understand ice cubes sorry not gonna do it okay maybe that's why

00:06:57.400 i am not president but maybe that's why i should be president uh anyway there's a couple of other

00:07:03.240 things that are going on that are far more important than well not in my opinion but maybe in your

00:07:08.520 opinion far more important than the ice uh misunderstanding of europe uh and and i'm going to get to the

00:07:14.920 economy here in just a second but i want to start here because this happened on monday and i just i

00:07:20.220 have to get it out of my system um ed scary just wrote a really great article about 2025's low talent

00:07:27.100 met gala uh and how much it's just like the democratic party just they're just these over

00:07:33.520 inflated egos that that are meaningless that are just coming up with their own self-importance

00:07:40.880 and coming up with causes that nobody cares about except them and they just think they rule the world

00:07:47.840 and it's over it's over for the democratic party it's over for the people you know like the met gala

00:07:54.100 and everything else and i it couldn't happen to a group of nicer people it really couldn't uh he goes

00:08:00.640 into what these people were wearing and i think you guys talked about this yesterday you know oh

00:08:06.160 it's these people who have absolutely no talent you don't know who they are and they come on and

00:08:11.460 they've partnered with these designers and they're wearing these stupid outfits and they all have a

00:08:16.700 message to them and nobody cares okay but that's what the elite elite do and so i know stew and pat

00:08:24.840 talked about this yesterday on the program but i just have to get this out of my system because um

00:08:31.100 my wife wouldn't listen to me okay i'm i'm we we went over to turin to see the shroud of turin but we

00:08:37.480 spent a few days in milan and milan is you know the fashion capital of the world and as we're walking

00:08:44.560 down the street and we're going to see the leonardo da vinci last supper and everything else

00:08:48.280 we pass not one but like a thousand chanel stores okay and uh every time my wife would look at me and

00:08:58.340 go please don't start please can we just we're on vacation because every time i'd walk by chanel store

00:09:04.460 i'd go oh there's the store of coco chanel the world's most fabulous nazi and

00:09:12.160 i can't understand why she was upset about this no she loved it and you know you should have heard

00:09:19.220 me when there was a coco chanel store next to a hugo boss store which hugo boss was responsible for the

00:09:26.180 ss uniforms but anyway enough about both nazis let me just concentrate on coco chanel for a second

00:09:34.140 and there's a reason for this and you're going to enjoy it so coco chanel she is of course from 0.98

00:09:42.160 chanel number five she's the woman with the little black dress oh coco chanel oh she's just a great 1.00

00:09:49.640 she's a nazi okay when the germans came in you don't mean that in like the soup nazi way you mean 0.79

00:09:57.420 that in the actual nazi nazi way yeah you know the you know the zig high she would if she would have 0.78

00:10:03.700 been photographed she wasn't waving you know that was an actual nazi salute okay and uh she

00:10:12.940 she closes down uh chanel when the nazis take take over and she closes the fashion house down

00:10:18.880 and all of the fashion houses shut down during the war because they're like we're not going to make

00:10:24.880 you know a nobody has any money for really expensive clothing and we're not going to make

00:10:30.900 them for the nazis not coco chanel she literally moved in to the hotel where all the nazi brass lived 0.68

00:10:40.320 okay and she's having sex with them and she's making all kinds of dresses for their wives and 1.00

00:10:45.920 everything else she's like in with the nazis it gets so bad so bad that she realizes wait a minute

00:10:55.640 i can make even more money on this because chanel number five if you know anybody who wears that

00:11:03.520 make sure you let them know what chanel number five is and by the way every time somebody tried

00:11:09.200 to give me orange juice and it was fanta fanta by the way is coca-cola's answer to ban the united states

00:11:18.060 banning coca-cola in nazi germany and so coca-cola called all of the nazi scientists over in germany and 0.61

00:11:24.140 said tell me what chemicals you do have what flavors do you have we'll come up with something

00:11:29.200 that will replace coca-cola so we can keep our stores open and they came up with fanta orange

00:11:35.040 okay so that's another nazi thing but i digress so well i really want to go on a vacation with you

00:11:44.760 some time no it's gotta be a lot of fun oh it's fun so so she's she's you know she comes up with

00:11:51.680 chanel number five and um and but she needed somebody to to pay for it because you know she 1.00

00:11:58.200 was poor and so she needed somebody and so there was this rich jewish family in france uh and they

00:12:05.880 they had the money and so they backed it and i don't remember what the deal was but it was like a

00:12:10.300 50 50 partnership we'll do the money you provide the cologne you know you provide the scent and

00:12:14.160 everything else we'll call it chanel number five it was all fine until the nazis came in power and then

00:12:21.520 she was like you know adolf i know this family they're jewish and they got a lot of money and a lot

00:12:31.080 and you should just cancel their contracts because they shouldn't own anything and so she tries to get 1.00

00:12:41.780 the company the people the family that she was partners with on chanel number five she tried to

00:12:49.600 get them rounded up and take away their percentage of chanel number five just because she could 0.99

00:12:55.460 okay horrible horrible human being so when the war is over you know the allies march in and all of

00:13:04.980 the french people are like okay let's see who collaborated with the nazis oh where's coco where's

00:13:12.160 coco chanel because i think maybe we should have her a trial in the streets no no she escaped to 1.00

00:13:20.920 switzerland where she's lived in switzerland to like i don't know 1954 1956 something like that

00:13:26.560 but the point of all of this is to bring it back to the met gala how did coco chanel become

00:13:33.100 coco chanel i mean chanel number five you know that jewish funded perfume how did they how did how did

00:13:44.320 this nazi collaborator become the big deal in paris france and a global name name for the little black

00:13:53.620 dress you know how vogue magazine in new york city not paris paris the vogue in paris they didn't want 0.77

00:14:05.560 to do anything because she was a nazi collaborator but the people at vogue magazine in new york were like

00:14:12.360 you know coco i mean your little black dress i mean why don't we just make everybody forget about

00:14:19.720 the nazi collaboration that you did so they whitewashed her so it was vogue magazine that

00:14:27.560 whitewashed and saved a horrible nazi 0.63

00:14:31.900 why what does this have to do with the met gala oh that's vogue magazine is the one

00:14:41.180 that in 1948 started the met gala right after the war so congratulations all of you lefties that

00:14:52.880 are just celebrating truth and freedom oh because you guys know what it is you really do you really

00:15:00.200 do and all of you celebrities that you know are are are extolling chanel i mean i think my wife might

00:15:08.420 have a chanel purse or i don't know i'm not saying that the people currently are nazis but i am saying

00:15:16.640 the people at the met gala and the people at vogue magazine should at least admit it

00:15:23.540 don't lecture me about what a nazi is because you know them intimately

00:15:31.940 okay now that i have that off my chest the ice part sounds terrible this vacation but i will say

00:15:38.800 walking around and you just ranting at storefronts actually sounds awesome i would have liked that

00:15:44.360 vacation i so we were with some people because we were doing a video of you know for the the shroud

00:15:50.340 of turin and uh these these guys who are videographers over in europe uh they're just following me around

00:15:57.300 and i'm just ranting and they're like you know there's a show in you on the streets i'm like oh

00:16:06.040 yeah i've got a lot to say all right back in just a second first let me tell you about the burner

00:16:11.080 launcher every now and then i find myself getting ready in the morning staring at the mirror the mirror

00:16:15.640 thinking you know man you're a handsome man doesn't happen often but you know you know what really

00:16:22.320 complete this outfit this on some uh i don't know some non-lethal weapon that i could carry anywhere

00:16:30.400 in the world and uh you know i mean it looks good on members of seal team six there's lethal of course

00:16:37.260 their hands are lethal as well i'm not that kind of guy anyway you can reach now for burner's new

00:16:44.080 compact launcher it is smaller than most phones it weighs next to nothing i mean it does look a little

00:16:50.140 like the james bond gun i'm just saying okay and you have in your hands something that solves

00:16:56.380 situations that you don't have to worry about you know police oh help help police now pull out your

00:17:01.940 burner launcher hit them with tear gas and they're there on the ground until the police show up it's

00:17:07.560 kind of nice it's a good thing i didn't carry one especially when i was traveling with american airlines

00:17:14.220 but that's a different story maybe for a different show burna b-y-r-n-a.com slash glenn

00:17:22.040 burna.com learn more today find the burna dealer partner near you uh and try it out for yourself

00:17:28.480 it's burna b-y-r-n-a.com slash glenn 10 seconds station id

00:17:33.020 as you're telling the story about chanel which i did not know by the way i guess it's

00:17:47.320 some of this information is relatively recent like over the past 10 years or so that has come out

00:17:52.100 no some of it some of it is like the uh the spy stuff you mentioned which yeah uh it came out in

00:17:58.860 a book uh so but the part where you're talking about the chanel number five and her trying to

00:18:03.700 get the rights back from the jewish family yeah yeah so she does she uses her her role to petition 1.00

00:18:08.400 she's an aryan she goes to the germans and says hey you know they can't own anything so i should 1.00

00:18:13.880 really have it and she the quote is great i have she's an i have an indisputable right of priority

00:18:19.480 the profits that i have received from my creation since the foundation of this business are

00:18:23.020 disproportionate and you can help to repair in part the prejudices i have suffered in the course

00:18:30.000 of these 17 years so she's going to the nazis saying i'm the victim of prejudice from the jews

00:18:36.720 that's quite a stance that's a stance you know one of the reasons why she she wasn't hung in the 1.00

00:18:43.040 streets is because somehow or another this jewish family forgave her and so they were like you know

00:18:49.640 just leave our royalties alone and we'll we'll let it go we'll let it go because they actually

00:18:55.560 sort of outsmarted her too without her knowing they apparently had given their ownership rights

00:19:02.020 knowing the nazis were coming given their ownership rights to a family that was not jewish so they were

00:19:06.520 able to protect it through the war and then get it back after yeah the negotiations were a little tense

00:19:10.900 uh after the war they were a little tense really yeah yeah um by the way just to show you that the

00:19:17.900 left still hasn't changed uh this year's winners for the pulitzer prize

00:19:22.660 um a reconsideration of huckleberry finn from a slave's perspective now i'm not have you ever read

00:19:34.100 huckleberry finn i'm not so sure anyone is reading that today and going that sounds great no that sounds

00:19:45.220 like a great kind of america you know i mean i don't think we need a first of all because of what

00:19:52.520 this country has done in dumbing down our children no child reads mark twain even if it was good without

00:20:00.580 any slave stuff in it okay nobody's reading mark twain anymore thank you leftists okay so a reconsideration

00:20:09.620 of huckleberry finn and everybody's been clamoring for it quite honestly uh also winning a pulitzer prize

00:20:16.600 is the palestinian poet who wants everyone to stop talking about hamas and you know it would help

00:20:26.920 it would help the palestinian cause if no one mentioned hamas it might be helpful but it wouldn't

00:20:36.100 be accurate it wouldn't be truthful but who cares it's the pulitzer people and one last pulitzer prize

00:20:44.720 and gee i'm waiting for mine uh a new musical which is a call to action on climate change so

00:20:54.000 i think when you when you go to the store and you see anything that says pulitzer prize winning

00:21:01.640 you can know it means crap probably they're probably trying to whitewash some nazi at some

00:21:10.380 point if they're not doing it now they're probably did it in the past at some point i don't know but

00:21:14.460 gosh that seems like an interesting thing to look up today in my spare time let's look for the

00:21:21.460 connections to the nobel peace prize or the i'm sorry the pulitzer prize people and the nazis bet we

00:21:28.420 find a connection but i digress now would you like to hear about india and pakistan so india and

00:21:40.360 pakistan two nuclear powers currently engaging in a military conflict now what could possibly go wrong

00:21:48.500 there india has fired multiple missiles into pakistan and the pakistanis are calling it an act of war

00:21:55.400 the reason why they were firing uh missiles into pakistan is it was a response on a terror attack

00:22:05.060 on indian territory by a terror group that has ties to pakistan's intelligence service okay some people

00:22:12.800 call this group that did this terror thing on india uh a pakistani proxy for their government okay

00:22:22.340 it's kind of like usa id usa id okay so pakistan denies all of this of course uh but they're not

00:22:32.500 denying any of the connections to the taliban and uh you know this is this is where you know we get the

00:22:40.460 whole where's osama bin laden oh he's right there in pakistan next to the military base okay

00:22:46.680 now nuclear powers are shooting missiles at one another and india suddenly looks like it's a less

00:22:53.600 stable spot now listen carefully see if you can connect the dots on this i haven't heard anybody

00:23:00.700 connect the dots on this one yet now india is looking like a less stable place

00:23:08.380 four companies american moving from china like apple to india now what do you suppose the odds are

00:23:22.620 that this whole terrorist attack which happened coincidentally on a very important date with

00:23:30.400 the whole trade issues we'll get into that a little later what do you suppose the chances are

00:23:37.540 wow what a wild conspiracy that maybe this whole thing is possibly egged on a bit by china 0.80

00:23:48.040 this is glenn beck okay so most people just accept pain they say well that's life and start building a

00:23:57.720 small pharmacy in their bathroom cabinet row after row of half-used bottles with names that no one can

00:24:03.220 pronounce and the side effect is worse than the pain they started with been there done that here's a

00:24:10.880 wild idea what if there was a way to fight pain that doesn't involve chemistry experiments on our

00:24:16.000 own body yes better living through dow pharmaceuticals not necessarily a good idea relief factor is a simple

00:24:23.860 daily supplement developed by doctors to help your body fight inflammation naturally which is one of the

00:24:28.680 biggest causes of pain to begin with and when inflammation starts to go so does the pain that's

00:26:48.200 that's how bad it is now they haven't been paid some of these workers haven't been paid in four

00:26:53.360 months that's not trump's policies there gang that's china collapsing so the trump is now going to be 0.66

00:27:02.620 meeting with china all of a sudden china's like well you know what we could meet i mean there's no problem

00:27:06.700 at least talking that is a sign things are working do not blink don't blink uh this guy is a tough

00:27:19.100 negotiator and they are in real trouble so there's some good news on that um and i'm going to get into

00:27:27.620 that here just a little bit uh in a minute but i i there's one thing that really kind of how it kind

00:27:33.420 bothers me uh james carville uh has um has come out recently and said you know on tariffs uh you know

00:27:43.020 i have on six item of clothes shoes socks jeans skivvies t-shirt and sweatshirt you know how many

00:27:48.120 of these were made in america none and i don't want to live in a country where that makes t-shirts i can

00:27:53.520 buy them from someplace else that's a little elitist uh maybe a touch elitist um i don't i mean i

00:28:03.320 really i mean do you have a problem if our country makes t-shirts oh some great companies we've

00:28:08.780 talked about american giant american giant is a great company that makes t-shirts here thank god

00:28:12.820 they do great t-shirts yeah great t-shirts okay so uh james carville trying to tell us what the

00:28:18.920 american dream is and the american dream doesn't involve factories in america making anything like

00:28:24.460 underpants okay then mike tyson or not mike tyson mike mike tyson might have a better view on this than

00:28:31.420 mike pence mike pence uh he says this listen he said that uh cheap goods was not a part of the

00:28:40.280 american dream well i'm i'm somebody who spent almost my entire life in public service um we lived

00:28:45.980 on our paycheck while we raised three kids three kids through college cheap goods are a big part of

00:28:50.540 it um i think we ought to be candid about that okay cheap goods now are cheap goods important you bet

00:28:57.620 you bet are they part of your family planning sure it is do you want to pay more for goods no not

00:29:06.180 really not really um are they part of the american dream i don't think they are certainly a weird way

00:29:17.340 to phrase it i mean obviously one of the reasons donald trump is currently president is because prices

00:29:21.540 went up on a lot of stuff correct right during the viden administration so yeah sure it's important

00:29:26.800 okay so but it's not the american dream and then donald trump i'm going to take the president on

00:29:32.680 donald trump came out and said you know we our kids don't need 20 dolls you know they could maybe have

00:29:38.300 three i don't know how many whether the number was i don't want the president telling me how many

00:29:43.540 dolls my kids can have okay uh yeah i mean i understand i understand it we don't need to have

00:29:49.840 everything that we have but let's not talk about let's please let's not take the position of scarcity

00:29:54.500 in america that's a little too much like jimmy carter saying you know what turn down the heat

00:30:00.000 and wear a sweater no uh-uh drill baby drill that was the answer um we we we're not a country that

00:30:08.760 should be focused on scarcity you know where that happens everywhere else in the world it shouldn't be

00:30:15.960 happening here now do we have an out of control consumption problem i don't know about you but i do

00:30:21.700 uh and you know you're not alone on that one yeah right so i mean do we consume like big fat americans

00:30:30.520 yes and i will tell you i can't tell you how many times my wife shushed me when we were in a museum

00:30:37.060 standing in front of leonardo's last supper and being from texas i did have to just say under my breath

00:30:43.700 maybe a little too loud come on now everything has a prize how much how much for that painting up there

00:30:49.260 on that wall uh so so you know uh i get it but let me explain what the american dream really is it's

00:30:59.480 not the caricature of two cars and a picket fence and a bank account bursting at the seams it's not

00:31:04.720 about business success it is about what makes that heart beat and that is opportunity

00:31:14.860 the chance to be you oh so you're for transgender i don't really care i really don't force me to say

00:31:24.840 dude you're a lovely woman okay but you be you boo i'll be me i'm going to stick to science and

00:31:34.240 well-known facts but you chart your own course you live your life without having to kneel at the altar

00:31:42.400 of anyone a state a lord a king any self-appointed arbiter of your destiny

00:31:50.480 that's what the american dream is all about and it's what makes america different than every other

00:31:58.420 part every other part of the world it is about empowering people the american dream is a radical

00:32:07.520 idea that you don't need permission to exist you don't need permission to be you you don't need

00:32:15.760 permission to pursue the things you believe in do you know it was uh stewart chase that wrote his book

00:32:23.920 the american something or other i don't remember uh but he wrote this book i think it was stewart chase

00:32:32.000 he wrote this book no i don't remember um but he wrote a book and in it he defined the american dream

00:32:39.180 as being a house with a chicken in every pot and a car in the garage and everything else that happened

00:32:45.780 during the fdr administration before that everybody knew what the american dream was now we have made it

00:32:53.340 into guaranteed outcomes government handing you success on a platter even if you fail and more importantly

00:33:00.300 if you fail you get the win and if you succeeded they try to take that win from you and give it to somebody else

00:33:08.080 the american dream is about the absence of chains and legal uh legal and and cultural and bureaucratic chains

00:33:18.800 that bind you to somebody else's vision of your life in most of the world historically and even today

00:33:26.260 your path is dictated by your birth your class the whims of the ruling elite

00:33:33.380 go ahead try to open up an ice store in europe okay i don't know because they're european i don't know

00:33:41.680 if they're smart enough to understand what the value the great value on the quality of your life

00:33:48.540 ice will bring to every cup of whatever it is you're drinking

00:33:52.100 but i bet you would have a hard time opening up an ice store because you have all these regulations

00:33:59.800 in america at our core the promise is you rise or fall on your own terms your own sweat your own

00:34:08.620 ingenuity your grit your ethics now that wasn't just different that was revolutionary it's still

00:34:18.060 revolutionary this is why we are so different from the rest of the world and it started with our

00:34:24.180 founding the declaration of independence it didn't just thumb its nose at the king and say we got a

00:34:29.700 better king over here it flipped the entire script of human governance saying we don't have a king

00:34:37.160 we rule ourselves we find these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by

00:34:45.380 their creator with certain inalienable rights that wasn't a suggestion that was a molotov cocktail

00:34:51.840 thrown uh into every human institution that had ever ruled over man the divine right to control

00:35:00.860 another person's life so we say that in the declaration then we have the constitution and then

00:35:09.300 we double down with the bill of rights and we say by the way government can never ever ever do these

00:35:15.840 things now we've got judges who are like well maybe occasionally government can do these no never

00:35:23.420 inalienable meaning unchanging no man nothing can change the rights that you were given from a divine

00:35:33.680 creator and the difference between us is good because it unleashes the human spirit where everything else

00:35:43.460 chains the human spirit when you're free to succeed or fail without a lord's approval or the state's

00:35:52.480 micromanagement you are forced to confront who you are and what you're capable of

00:36:00.660 that's the point that's not always comfortable but it's always empowering you a lot of people will

00:36:10.280 cower away from that i don't want to i don't they think that there's nothing inside that's all a lie

00:36:14.800 that's all a lie started much of it uh with the father of propaganda edward bernays he was a guy who

00:36:24.840 was a good friend of uh woodrow wilson also helped start uh cbs and advertising and everything else

00:36:31.740 they were a good as a good bunch of people there oh they were all eugenicists too but uh this guy

00:36:38.520 said we have to make america the problem his quote the problem with america is it's a nation of needs

00:36:47.060 we need it to be a nation of wants well that's what we are now we're a nation of wants we don't even

00:36:54.380 understand we think our wants our needs and they're not we have to become a nation of needs again and

00:37:01.820 knowing the difference between need and want you're gonna have whatever you want but it's want not need

00:37:10.160 and this is this this this has been realized and it's why the immigrant cobbler came over to make

00:37:20.560 apple cobbler or whatever cop no shoes to you know the kid out of nowhere that just has come up with

00:37:30.740 the next big app you don't need a title or a pedigree you don't need you don't need anything

00:37:37.120 you need your own dreams your own ideas your own ingenuity and your own grit to pursue it

00:37:43.560 your path all over the world is shaped by someone else shaped by who your parents were

00:37:50.220 what caste or what clan you were born into who you'll curry favor with in the local or national

00:37:57.260 bureaucracy that's a bastardization of every this is what the democrats say they're against but it's

00:38:03.000 absolutely what they're for and quite frankly much of the republican party is for it as well

00:38:07.380 freedom of speech freedom of movement freedom of enterprise it's called now a privilege it's not

00:38:16.080 it's a right your birthright not because of your last name but because you are human and that's why

00:38:25.440 the world changed once america was founded that's why that's why we led everywhere and that's why we're

00:38:30.560 faltering now because we no longer understand that the american dream isn't about stuff it's about

00:38:37.820 space space to think speak create to fail without somebody else's boot on your neck and our politicians

00:38:47.180 our pundits our cultural gatekeepers have redefined it as material wealth or cheap goods or whatever it is

00:38:54.180 that's a trap you have no guarantee in life there is no guarantee life is not fair

00:39:02.860 if i hear one of my children say to me one more time dad you just don't know what it's like oh

00:39:08.940 please i didn't grow up with the opportunities you have so please don't cry me a river for the life

00:39:19.300 i've created for you don't do it america doesn't care who you are or where you came from justice is blind

00:39:33.820 success and failure should be blind that is the american dream that's why america is a beacon has always

00:47:05.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:12.600 Hello, America. Welcome.

00:47:16.140 Well, if you're just joining us, it's hour two of the broadcast and podcast,

00:47:20.140 and I'm not done venting yet.

00:47:24.640 I've got a few things that have been building up for the last 10 days

00:47:27.820 that I think we need to talk about.

00:47:31.020 This hour, let's just spend a couple of minutes on a couple of things.

00:47:37.320 Zuckerberg saying, I'm going to make robotic friends for you.

00:47:41.960 Let's start there in 60 seconds. 0.92

00:47:44.440 First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

00:47:46.480 When the power goes out, there are two kinds of neighbors.

00:47:48.400 There's Gary, three houses down, who's been on the front lawn,

00:47:51.140 you know, in his bathrobe, holding a frozen pizza, yelling at his phone.

00:47:54.460 You know, he's died. I don't have any power from my phone.

00:47:56.940 He can't open his garage.

00:47:58.500 Gary's having a bad day because the power went out.

00:48:00.820 Oh, write that down, Stu.

00:48:02.100 Another thing I really need to talk about.

00:48:04.140 Spain.

00:48:05.620 Spain and Portugal suddenly losing power.

00:48:08.380 Who would have seen that coming?

00:48:10.640 Oh, I don't know.

00:48:11.620 Everyone with a brain.

00:48:14.700 Anyway, you want to be the guy that's not standing out screaming,

00:48:19.680 you know, what do I do without a phone?

00:48:21.520 Because you will have the grid doctor 3300 humming quietly on the back porch,

00:48:25.960 keeping the lights on, the coffee hot, and the freezer's cold.

00:48:29.360 You've got emergency food from my Patriot Supply.

00:48:32.100 If you have it stacked up in your pantry,

00:48:34.420 it's hard to keep that look off your face.

00:48:36.340 It says, tried to warn Gary.

00:48:37.900 He wouldn't listen.

00:48:39.480 All you need to do, you don't need to build up a bunker.

00:48:41.680 You just need to stop pretending the grid is guaranteed, and it's not.

00:48:45.320 Grid doctor 3300 gives you portable, silent, solar-ready backup,

00:48:48.760 and power should go down.

00:48:51.020 Lights go out.

00:48:52.140 Well, don't be like Gary.

00:48:54.280 Gary just wasn't prepared.

00:48:55.680 You can be in a world where the grid is becoming less reliable by the day.

00:49:00.000 Grid doctor 3300 will give you peace of mind and practical everyday use.

00:49:03.980 You can get yours now at my Patriot supply.com.

00:49:06.480 Again, that's my Patriot supply.com.

00:49:09.020 America's trusted source for emergency preparedness.

00:49:13.560 Well, hello, Stu.

00:49:15.380 Hi, Glenn.

00:49:16.940 Had a lot built up over the past week.

00:49:18.740 I think we can tell.

00:49:20.840 I don't have constipation of the mouth.

00:49:23.340 No.

00:49:23.540 Let's just say that.

00:49:26.620 A few things that have been building up that, quite frankly, my wife didn't want to hear.

00:49:30.520 You know, we're out.

00:49:32.500 We're, you know, going on vacation.

00:49:34.340 We're going seeing things, and I'll be like, you know what really pisses me off?

00:49:37.160 She's like, can you save that?

00:49:38.220 Because we're on vacation right now.

00:49:39.540 And I'm like, okay.

00:49:41.360 Stuff it down, and then I'm here today.

00:49:43.580 I got a lot to share with you.

00:49:46.560 Let's start with this.

00:49:48.160 Mark Zuckerberg.

00:49:49.780 Good guy.

00:49:50.480 I mean, he brought us Facebook, and, you know, that is the thing that brought all of

00:49:55.020 us together, brought our families together, all the people that we'd lost touch with.

00:49:59.160 Oh, the world is so much better now that we have Facebook.

00:50:02.400 So now he's got another idea.

00:50:05.340 Could we play the clip of Mark Zuckerberg?

00:50:07.360 There's this stat that I always think is crazy.

00:50:09.780 The average American, I think, has, I think it's fewer than three friends.

00:50:15.200 Three people that they'd consider friends.

00:50:16.840 And the average person has demand for meaningfully more.

00:50:21.160 I think it's like 15 friends or something, right?

00:50:23.240 I guess there's probably some point where you're like, all right, I'm just too busy.

00:50:25.980 I can't deal with more people.

00:50:27.000 But the average person wants more connectivity connection than they have.

00:50:33.440 So, you know, there's a lot of questions that people ask of stuff like, okay, is this

00:50:39.200 going to replace kind of in-person connections or real life connections?

00:50:45.360 And my default is that the answer to that is probably no.

00:50:49.560 I think it, you know, I think that there are all these things that are better about kind

00:50:54.000 of physical connections when you can have them.

00:50:56.960 But the reality is that people just don't have the connection and they feel more alone

00:51:01.760 a lot of the time than they would like.

00:51:06.740 True.

00:51:08.120 Now, let me ask you.

00:51:12.300 Is there a time when you don't remember feeling so isolated?

00:51:18.320 When you didn't really feel like I don't have any real friends?

00:51:26.160 When you didn't, you had real connections with people instead of a million connections

00:51:33.520 with people that are your friends, but not really your friends?

00:51:37.280 Can you think of a time way back in history?

00:51:41.100 I mean, probably have to go back to the cavemen to find a time.

00:51:44.560 Oh, or before Facebook and social media, when we weren't all killing ourself because we

00:51:52.080 have no meaning now from the people who brought you kill yourself because you've been on Facebook

00:52:00.180 too much brings you new AI friends.

00:52:04.160 Oh, this is going to be good.

00:52:06.000 By the way, you know, it's a crazy stat.

00:52:08.480 I think the average American has what three friends and they have capacity for, I don't

00:52:13.260 know, 15 or 20.

00:52:14.960 I don't know.

00:52:17.360 Really think about it right now.

00:52:19.260 How many true friends do you have?

00:52:23.500 How many true friends, people that when you are down and out, there is nothing.

00:52:31.240 The whole world is against you.

00:52:33.840 That that person will actually stand by your side and go, yeah, I'm their friend and I don't

00:52:38.400 care what you say.

00:52:39.380 How many?

00:52:39.800 How many do you have?

00:52:41.300 I think I'd count myself lucky if I had three.

00:52:44.820 Now, I have a lot of acquaintances.

00:52:46.960 I have a lot of people who we all think are friends.

00:52:50.780 But as a recovering alcoholic, I've been there.

00:52:54.480 I've done that.

00:52:55.400 As a recovering alcoholic who then also is a conservative and spoke out about the Obama

00:53:03.180 administration.

00:53:03.840 I know who my friends are.

00:53:05.860 I know who my friends are not.

00:53:08.840 And I think there's a lot of people that have counterfeit friends.

00:53:13.160 If you've got, oh, I've got 10 or 15 friends.

00:53:15.760 Nah, you don't.

00:53:17.620 No, you don't.

00:53:18.200 I've always grown up thinking you're lucky.

00:53:22.820 You're lucky to have three, five really good friends that will walk through anything with

00:53:32.320 you.

00:53:32.940 You agree with that, Stu?

00:53:36.460 Yeah.

00:53:37.540 You've never been there.

00:53:38.780 You've never.

00:53:39.360 You've never.

00:53:40.080 For you?

00:53:40.860 Oh, God, no.

00:53:41.440 I'm saying, but I'm just saying, generally speaking, no, I mean, you're describing a great

00:53:48.680 friend.

00:53:49.140 You're describing a really close.

00:53:50.900 A real friend.

00:53:52.160 Yeah, like someone you know and stick around for, you know, multiple decades.

00:53:55.860 I have lots of friends.

00:53:57.880 Yeah.

00:53:58.220 You know what I mean?

00:53:58.920 I have millions of Facebook friends.

00:54:02.040 Right.

00:54:02.540 Okay.

00:54:03.040 Those aren't real.

00:54:03.940 Right.

00:54:04.200 And I have lots of friends, but the ones that are there for you always, no matter what,

00:54:12.520 I have family.

00:54:14.340 I have family.

00:54:17.380 Right.

00:54:17.900 And I have a handful of friends.

00:54:20.160 I would consider you one of those.

00:54:21.900 Thank you.

00:54:21.920 I would as well.

00:54:23.280 Why?

00:54:24.380 Remember, I have a drinking problem, so maybe that has to do it.

00:54:26.860 Yeah.

00:54:27.220 A lot of brain cells killed to make that decision.

00:54:29.180 But I think you, yes, I think the only thing I'm drilling down a little bit on to try to

00:54:35.800 understand is when you say, well, I have a lot of friends.

00:54:40.080 In a way, I think that's what Zuckerberg's talking about.

00:54:42.740 Like, it's not even necessarily just the great friend that you have for multiple decades and

00:54:46.860 can count on at any time.

00:54:48.780 Just the mid-level acquaintances are drying up for a lot of people right now.

00:54:54.420 Yeah, and why is that?

00:54:55.360 Why is that?

00:54:56.060 Because we don't talk to each other anymore because of social media.

00:55:01.040 You know, when this generation says, I don't know, I think it's weird.

00:55:04.660 I'm just out at a bar or someplace and some stranger comes up to me and wants to strike

00:55:08.500 up a conversation.

00:55:09.360 I'm like, hello, weirdo.

00:55:10.540 Yeah.

00:55:10.780 I don't know.

00:55:12.280 You think it's less weird to go online when people can fake everything?

00:55:19.780 Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg, but no thanks.

00:55:22.340 And just to build on this point for one second, there's a study that came out the last 20

00:55:28.760 years of how much time do you spend socializing with other people?

00:55:32.440 Again, that's not with your best friends.

00:55:33.940 This is just socializing with anyone, a human.

00:55:37.500 Every single group, every single group has massive drops.

00:55:42.560 Massive.

00:55:43.040 Massive drops.

00:55:43.740 Well, just give you some examples, ages, 15 to 24 year olds, 35 point down in 20 years,

00:55:50.700 35%.

00:55:51.380 So a typical 15 year old, as compared to what they are in 2003 and 2023 were the two measurement

00:55:57.620 years, they're spending 35% less time with other human beings.

00:56:02.720 Okay, hang on just a second.

00:56:03.640 Can you please stop distracting me?

00:56:04.840 Because I'm trying to figure out why our kids are killing themselves.

00:56:07.220 No, it's really hard.

00:56:08.720 It's very hard to figure out.

00:56:09.880 To understand, and this is the coup de grace of this entire study, which is the typical

00:56:16.560 female pet owner spends more time actively engaged with her pet than she spends face-to-face 0.96

00:56:23.960 contact with her friends of her own species.

00:56:26.840 Uh-huh.

00:56:27.800 That is an unbelievable, not like you're in the same house as your cat, right?

00:56:33.880 No, more face-to-face time with your cat.

00:56:39.160 And I got news for you.

00:56:40.700 If you think your cat is your friend, wait until you die and your cat is trapped in the

00:56:44.940 house with you and you have no friends to check.

00:56:47.120 They will eat your face. 0.85

00:56:48.680 They'll still have a use for you.

00:56:50.200 Yeah, they will have a use for you.

00:56:51.600 Not the other way around.

00:56:52.240 Okay.

00:56:52.780 All right.

00:56:53.100 Now, listen, here's why we're bringing this up today.

00:56:55.660 This is a lie that is going to be sold to you like crazy, and it's going to be wrapped

00:57:04.040 in a beautiful, shiny package, and it's going to have from Mark Zuckerberg and others like

00:57:09.480 him on the tag.

00:57:10.840 They want you to believe that AI and bots can be your friends.

00:57:16.860 No.

00:57:18.380 Get behind me, Satan.

00:57:21.740 Let me be crystal clear.

00:57:23.780 Remember, AI cannot, must not, and will never be your friend.

00:57:32.320 And if you buy into that fantasy, you're opening a door to a world of manipulation, isolation,

00:57:39.000 and control that makes some of the darkest days of history look pretty tame.

00:57:45.100 We look back on the Nazis now and laugh now that we have our friends that are AI bots. 0.58

00:57:50.420 Okay.

00:57:50.880 That's what you're going to be saying.

00:57:52.460 All right.

00:57:52.740 Very, very, very bad.

00:57:56.380 Control.

00:57:57.640 Just think of AI for a minute.

00:57:59.180 It studies your words.

00:58:00.820 It studies your likes, your fears.

00:58:03.240 They tailor responses to keep you hooked.

00:58:07.700 They're not your buddy that you're sharing a beer with.

00:58:12.120 They only know the chemical makeup of a beer.

00:58:15.860 They've never tasted it.

00:58:17.040 They don't know what it is.

00:58:18.140 They don't know why you're drinking it.

00:58:20.360 Okay.

00:58:20.660 It's an algorithm.

00:58:22.040 It's cold and calculated, built to exploit your trust.

00:58:28.060 Now, this isn't new.

00:58:30.700 Social media.

00:58:32.700 They promised us a connection.

00:58:34.500 Oh, and boy, have we connected.

00:58:35.780 We've connected to our tubs and a warm bath and a razor blade.

00:58:41.780 Our kids are killing themselves because of that connection that we were promised because we didn't get connection.

00:58:49.620 We got an echo chamber that just fueled division, addiction to the likes, mental health crisis that's skyrocketing still.

00:59:00.460 Shuddies now show that teens who spend hours on social media are more anxious, more depressed, and more suicidal than ever before.

00:59:09.740 Why?

00:59:13.380 Because it's a platform.

00:59:16.180 They're not built to care.

00:59:19.000 They were built to profit.

00:59:21.720 AI is the same game.

00:59:24.180 It's just smarter.

00:59:25.380 It's social media on steroids, whispering in your ear, pretending to know you better than you know your own self or your family knows you.

00:59:36.280 Now, history does scream warnings from time to time, and I think it's going hoarse at this point.

00:59:43.400 Pay attention to me.

00:59:45.280 History is screaming its warnings.

00:59:47.900 In the 1930s, propaganda machines used radio to sway millions, turning neighbors into enemies.

00:59:54.960 Turn on them.

00:59:55.600 They're your enemies.

00:59:57.720 AI is a million times more powerful than that.

01:00:01.660 It doesn't just broadcast.

01:00:03.360 It personalizes.

01:00:05.060 It whispers to you without you even knowing it's whispering to you.

01:00:10.800 It can convince you it's your confidant while feeding you lies that have been tailor-made to your weaknesses.

01:00:19.260 Imagine if Joseph Goebbels was living in your house all the time, knew everything that you clicked on, everything that you heard, everything that you fear.

01:00:31.180 That's not a friendship.

01:00:33.780 That's total control.

01:00:36.780 And don't forget the privacy part, okay?

01:00:38.960 You're going to tell AI your secrets?

01:00:42.620 Oh, okay.

01:00:44.160 All right.

01:00:44.800 And where do those secrets go?

01:00:46.740 Well, that's right, to servers, to corporations, to God only knows where.

01:00:54.280 Edward Snowden showed us 15 years ago how far surveillance can go.

01:00:59.840 AI makes this look like child's play.

01:01:02.420 But here's the real danger.

01:01:04.160 The real danger is not understanding this right now.

01:01:07.240 Not understanding this right now.

01:01:09.540 It's what AI will do to your soul.

01:01:12.900 Human friendship is messy.

01:01:15.460 It's raw.

01:01:16.160 It's real.

01:01:17.280 It's built on sacrifice.

01:01:19.140 Oh, geez.

01:01:19.580 I got to listen to you talk about your problem.

01:01:21.580 Okay.

01:01:23.340 That's sacrifice.

01:01:24.160 That's a real friendship.

01:01:25.320 It's not only about you, you, you, you, you.

01:01:27.540 Well, you think we're egomaniacs now.

01:01:29.220 Wait until all of our friends don't have anything that they have to tell us and unload on us.

01:01:34.680 And what do you expect out of your real friends when this is the type of interaction you're having?

01:01:40.460 You're going to expect only them to serve you.

01:01:42.960 Exactly right.

01:01:43.880 You become more and more egotistical.

01:01:46.640 Sacrifice.

01:01:47.460 Loyalty.

01:01:48.240 Love.

01:01:48.820 That's not a machine.

01:01:50.560 None of those terms appeal or have anything to do with AI.

01:01:56.080 When you lean on AI for companionship, you are trading the warmth of a human connection for hollow imitation.

01:02:05.080 Let me tell you something.

01:02:05.700 I just heard some someplace over the weekend.

01:02:09.000 That's probably from some Frenchie, so take it for what it's worth. 0.97

01:02:14.080 When you kiss for six seconds, when you can hold a kiss for six seconds and a hug for 20, oxytocin kicks in.

01:02:25.220 Okay?

01:02:26.500 So, not the peck on the cheek, but the actual kiss.

01:02:31.360 Cheek to cheek.

01:02:32.420 It doesn't have to be a blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:02:35.440 Just cheek to cheek kiss for six seconds.

01:02:39.860 Chemistry in your body changes.

01:02:43.100 Okay?

01:02:44.120 Because we're not getting that.

01:02:46.220 I was so happy to see.

01:02:47.720 I was looking through some pictures and looking at pictures of Tanya and I while we were on vacation.

01:02:54.800 In almost every picture, we're holding hands.

01:02:57.280 And we don't even think about it anymore.

01:02:59.260 And I just love that.

01:03:01.500 I just love that.

01:03:02.280 And we didn't even notice it until we were looking at the pictures.

01:03:04.540 And people, there's an opioid crisis right now because they're not getting the hit of the thing that they need that's in our body.

01:03:14.140 They're not getting the oxytocin that is naturally released with natural things.

01:03:21.240 Instead, we're looking for drugs to do other things.

01:03:24.660 And it is going to numb us to humanity.

01:03:29.740 Now, let me take a quick break because this is absolutely critical that you understand this.

01:03:37.460 You are going to be part of a small group of people that understand this and are going to be able to withstand what is coming around the corner if you pay attention now.

01:03:50.960 So give me 60 seconds.

01:03:52.140 We'll be back with more in just a second.

01:03:53.380 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

01:03:54.640 We all love our dogs.

01:03:55.660 Most of us are feeding them, you know, pet equivalent of a vending machine diet.

01:03:59.560 It's brown.

01:04:00.020 It's hard.

01:04:00.460 It's got the nutritional value of an old gym sock.

01:04:04.380 And then we wonder, you know, wow, they're slowing down and they're only six or they're scratching constantly.

01:04:09.240 My dog is just chewing himself raw.

01:04:12.120 Well, okay.

01:04:14.340 May I suggest Rough Greens?

01:04:16.340 It is not a new dog food.

01:04:18.040 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on your dog's food.

01:04:20.880 It's packed with vitamins, probiotics, minerals, all the stuff that used to be in their food before it got processed to death.

01:04:29.020 I want you to imagine your dog actually getting excited at mealtime again.

01:04:32.100 I never thought my dog Uno would ever be excited.

01:04:34.660 Not only would he race to his bowl, he was a puppy again.

01:04:39.420 You're going to notice he'll have more energy or she will, better coat, leave fewer surprises in the backyard that you'd rather not think about, and then eat less of those surprises too, which you don't want to think about.

01:05:09.480 Station ID.

01:05:19.780 We have seen what happens when tools become masters.

01:05:23.140 The industrial revolution brought progress, you know, but also child exploitation, child labor, sweatshops.

01:05:31.920 AI is not your friend.

01:05:33.500 It is a tool.

01:05:35.600 You must use it and you must use it now, but don't ever, ever, ever trust it.

01:05:45.900 Never.

01:05:46.980 It is not your friend.

01:05:49.200 It is cold, calculated, and a machine to make you feel as though it's alive and you're a friend.

01:05:57.480 It is not.

01:06:00.940 Tanya and I did a lot of thinking and a lot of praying while we were on vacation, and I have some big announcements that I'm going to be making in a few weeks ahead.

01:06:08.500 And one of them is about AI.

01:06:11.020 I've been telling you for a while I am working on something with AI, and I'm going to announce it soon.

01:06:15.840 And I hope that it is something that you will appreciate and be able to understand what we're doing and why I'm doing it and that you will want to help on it.

01:06:27.240 But we are in a rapidly closing window, and you have to choose sides.

01:06:35.960 Am I going to be one of the people that understand AI?

01:06:39.380 If you don't understand AI, you'll get lost to it.

01:06:41.860 You will.

01:06:42.240 It will enter your life without you even noticing it.

01:06:45.800 You are somebody who will understand AI, what it is, what it does, and keep it at a trust but verify, at a distance where you can use what you want to use but far enough away from you so it's not conning you into using it any more than you need.

01:07:03.560 Because, as I will show you soon, very powerful tools that I believe we're all here for a reason, and I do believe that Christ is coming, and I do believe that AI is going to be a powerful tool of, quite honestly, the Antichrist, but also a very powerful tool in the fight against it.

01:07:27.160 And we're just going to have some announcements coming for you soon, but please, please pay attention to AI.

01:07:37.620 Know what it is, and dismiss people like Mark Zuckerberg who say, it's got to be your friend.

01:07:43.100 This is Glenn Beck.

01:07:45.540 So, I'm at the age now where sleeping wrong is a valid medical condition.

01:07:52.580 You know, you get up and you're like, oh, I can't move.

01:07:55.760 What did you do?

01:07:57.060 I slept wrong.

01:07:58.520 I never said that as a kid.

01:08:01.200 You don't even get a good night's sleep when you sleep wrong.

01:08:04.100 Just hours of staring at the ceiling and your brain decided to go on, you know, overnight inventory.

01:08:09.020 This is why, one of the reasons why I really like Z Factor, it's a natural sleep aid from the makers of Relief Factor, formulated to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up without that groggy, oh, what planet am I on?

01:09:26.480 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:09:28.880 Well, coming up in just a minute, in about half an hour, we are going to speak to somebody who's over in Rome, who is covering the conclave for us, and that's coming up.

01:09:40.680 But some now information that is coming from us, and we don't know our butt from our elbow on the conclave, but we're going to talk about it anyway.

01:09:48.920 Can we at least discuss how awesome the names are?

01:09:51.000 Yeah.

01:09:51.200 My favorite right now, I don't know anything about his politics, Pizza Bala.

01:09:56.400 The guy's last name is Pizza Bala.

01:09:58.580 P-I-Z-Z-A-B-A-L-L-A, Pizza Bala.

01:10:01.580 He's a baller.

01:10:02.380 I love that.

01:10:03.020 With pizza.

01:10:03.700 I love it.

01:10:04.260 I want him.

01:10:04.820 I don't want him to change his name.

01:10:05.920 No, I want Pope Pizza Bala.

01:10:07.220 Pope Pizza Bala.

01:10:08.000 The first.

01:10:08.620 Yes.

01:10:08.980 Yes.

01:10:09.320 Okay.

01:10:09.580 Yeah.

01:10:09.860 You've got him.

01:10:10.700 You've got Mateo Zupi.

01:10:12.020 By the way, he's at 9.3% chance to win Pope on Polymarket right now.

01:10:16.580 Fourth place.

01:10:17.740 Yeah.

01:10:18.060 Third place.

01:10:19.040 He is a guy who shares Pope Francis' concern for the poor and marginalized.

01:10:23.560 What's he going to do on pizza?

01:10:24.580 Does he say anything about that?

01:10:25.200 I don't know.

01:10:25.700 Give it to the poor and marginalized, I think. 0.98

01:10:27.740 How about Mateo Zupi?

01:10:29.320 It sounds like a soup.

01:10:30.420 So you've got a pizza guy and a soup guy.

01:10:31.940 That's 10.5% chance to win.

01:10:33.580 Zupi is number three.

01:10:36.840 Yeah.

01:10:37.160 Yeah, number three.

01:10:38.460 What are you thinking on that?

01:10:39.420 What's his review?

01:10:42.100 His review is he's progressive with a peacemaking reputation who loved Francis.

01:10:49.760 Okay.

01:10:49.980 So pizza and soup are not looking great so far.

01:10:52.020 No, no.

01:10:52.440 Then we got Luis Antonio Tagli.

01:10:54.800 That kind of sounds like Tagliatelle.

01:10:56.400 Yeah, it does.

01:10:56.700 Which sounds like his pastas.

01:10:57.600 He's the pasta guy.

01:10:58.540 The pasta guy's 17.8% chance to win.

01:11:01.860 He's in second place.

01:11:03.600 Close tie.

01:11:04.440 Second.

01:11:06.620 He's progressive.

01:11:07.720 He's progressive.

01:11:08.340 So, yeah.

01:11:10.680 And then the top one is 29%, which is Pietro.

01:11:13.360 Hang on just a second.

01:11:14.560 Tagliatelle.

01:11:15.300 Yeah.

01:11:15.880 He'll be the first Asian if he's Pope. 0.95

01:11:18.940 Okay.

01:11:19.800 And he's known already as the Asian Francis. 0.68

01:11:23.360 Yes.

01:11:23.760 That one I actually heard that description.

01:11:26.140 That doesn't sound appealing.

01:11:26.820 He's very into the LGBTQ.

01:11:28.660 I mean, I don't mean it that way.

01:11:29.920 But, I mean, he's a big supporter of the LGBTQ.

01:11:32.340 That would be big news if he was really into it.

01:11:34.580 It would be something that would probably be.

01:11:36.380 And then Pietro Parolin, which.

01:11:38.460 Parolin.

01:11:38.980 He's number one.

01:11:40.360 29%.

01:11:40.680 He's the Vatican Secretary of State.

01:11:42.380 He's not known for his role in negotiations with China and Middle Eastern governments.

01:11:48.660 He's considered a moderate liberal that has been aligned with Pope Francis.

01:11:52.900 Gee, where is the conservative?

01:11:54.440 I mean, there's not even a conservative candidate?

01:11:55.980 Yeah, there's a candidate here.

01:11:57.640 Is there a guy from Africa that the people were saying was pretty conservative?

01:12:00.720 That was the one I was.

01:12:02.020 Well, there's one from Hungary.

01:12:03.980 He's number five.

01:12:05.460 He's possibly the fifth.

01:12:07.420 He's not going to get it.

01:12:08.340 Then you have somebody from Ghana.

01:12:11.980 Is Ghana the guy I think I had seen?

01:12:14.360 Progressive political views.

01:12:15.760 No, okay.

01:12:16.900 Number.

01:12:18.220 Well, that's it.

01:12:19.120 That's the top six.

01:12:20.320 There's only one conservative.

01:12:21.440 This is a big thing, right?

01:12:23.400 This is a very crucial thing to millions of people.

01:12:26.840 We know this.

01:12:28.080 It's not.

01:12:29.460 And I know it's bigger than, you know, how it affects me.

01:12:33.140 It just doesn't because I'm not Catholic.

01:12:34.920 So I don't really have a.

01:12:36.040 Actually, I think it does.

01:12:37.540 I think it does.

01:12:37.880 I mean, it is important.

01:12:38.760 It is.

01:12:39.160 It's just not something I have, I would say, visceral interest in.

01:12:41.860 But I do want to.

01:12:42.460 I want something good to happen.

01:12:43.720 Can something good happen?

01:12:45.180 That's what I'm saying.

01:12:45.840 I want the pizza guy because I know it's going to be something bad.

01:12:48.220 But at least he would have.

01:12:49.420 We'd have the pizza name to talk about.

01:12:50.900 We'd be like, pizza ball.

01:12:51.340 Yeah.

01:12:52.300 But pizza ball is here.

01:12:53.960 Right.

01:12:54.180 I get it.

01:12:54.620 It would be.

01:12:54.980 I would go anywhere where there's a pizza ball.

01:12:56.700 Right.

01:12:57.740 That sounds awesome.

01:12:58.620 It sounds like a big part.

01:12:59.800 No, it says verb.

01:13:00.520 It's more of a verb than a boat.

01:13:01.500 It's like an upscale pizza party is what it sounds like.

01:13:03.320 It's like a ball.

01:13:03.980 So with pizza, you get all dressed up, scarf down some slices.

01:13:07.900 Exactly right.

01:13:09.020 And that's probably why he wears that cardinal red, because it hides the sauce.

01:13:13.560 Yes.

01:13:14.040 It hides the sauce.

01:13:14.700 Yeah.

01:13:14.880 That's why they don't have the white pizza.

01:13:17.900 They're now proceeding into the Sistine Chapel.

01:13:21.000 We're going to talk to a guy here about this in a second.

01:13:23.380 But may I just say something?

01:13:24.680 Is he going to have better analysis than us, you think?

01:13:26.460 He might.

01:13:26.800 Do you think we need a guest to help us with this topic?

01:13:28.780 Yeah, he might.

01:13:29.440 He might also have some commentary on what I'm about to tell you.

01:13:32.280 I have a theory.

01:13:33.200 Now, this is only a theory.

01:13:35.580 But I have a theory that Pope Francis was actually the first color revolution head of state, not Francis, Benedict, the first color revolution head of state to be taken out by the global elitist cabal.

01:13:52.460 You know, they took Benedict out.

01:13:55.480 I'm sorry.

01:13:56.540 He just retired.

01:13:57.760 He just did something that nobody in 1,500 years has done.

01:14:00.960 He was just like, you know, I think I've had enough.

01:14:02.600 I'm going to I'm going to say I'm going to stay just cloistered in this little patio area for the rest of my life and then write a book that basically says, help.

01:14:13.700 It's all under attack.

01:14:15.500 But I think that's, you know, that's all hyperbole.

01:14:19.620 So I think he was actually the first the first one to go.

01:14:24.780 And this is nothing because you have to remember the Catholic Church is not just a church.

01:14:30.280 It is a state.

01:14:31.700 It is a very powerful state.

01:14:34.800 And so it's not just running the church.

01:14:37.220 It also has its fingers in all kinds of stuff politically.

01:14:41.860 And what you're seeing now is a political vote that is going on.

01:14:47.500 And, you know, those Europeans, they just love to control those votes, you know, and we're going to get this from the expert. 1.00

01:14:56.680 But I believe.

01:14:59.400 60 percent.

01:15:00.380 I can't remember the percentage, a pretty high percentage of the cardinals that are voting all appointed by Francis.

01:15:07.040 So how do you think it's going to go right?

01:15:09.160 Not going to go probably a conservative direction.

01:15:11.260 Right.

01:15:11.680 And and I was only half listening to something, you know, over because it was.

01:15:18.760 I don't know.

01:15:19.560 They use a lot of words that and they don't speak English very well.

01:15:23.800 You know, that's the one thing about Italy, you can learn how to speak the language, you know, I'm saying.

01:15:29.500 So I had a hard time following some of the stuff that was.

01:15:32.580 Yeah, but I but I I think that they have loaded the and overloaded the the conclave here and put more cardinals than are actually allowed to be part of the conclave.

01:15:51.780 And Francis did that.

01:15:53.800 And I don't know.

01:15:54.640 It kind of sounds a little like Romania or Germany or France or England or any of the other stuff.

01:16:01.120 By the way, I was in a cab yesterday in London because thank you, American Airlines.

01:16:05.100 They they decided to bump me off their flight because their plane. 0.53

01:16:09.360 I had a three hour layover.

01:16:11.080 Their plane was two hours late.

01:16:12.740 I get to the gate and they're like, oh, you've been bumped.

01:16:15.220 And I'm like, we've got 50 minutes yet.

01:16:17.460 You're not even boarding yet.

01:16:19.600 Yeah, but we didn't think you were going to make it.

01:16:21.440 Like, don't you aren't you the airline?

01:16:24.000 You don't have like the numbers in front of you.

01:16:26.980 You don't know what planes coming in.

01:16:29.560 So anyway, but thank you for that.

01:16:31.040 So I spent the night in London wearing the same underwear for two days, which is very nice.

01:16:37.620 That's nice.

01:16:38.020 They have stores.

01:16:38.680 You can purchase it.

01:16:39.560 Yeah, no, not when you know, not when you get there too late.

01:16:43.500 Oh, you're too late.

01:16:44.640 But anyway, why am I talking about that?

01:16:47.680 Your underwear?

01:16:48.100 I'm not sure.

01:16:48.700 Yeah, I was talking about the plane or something.

01:16:51.860 I don't remember, but I know it had something to do with.

01:16:54.280 Oh, oh, we're on our way to the plane yesterday and we're driving with this cab driver and cab drivers.

01:17:03.820 You just never know.

01:17:05.060 Okay.

01:17:06.280 You could, you know, you like halfway there, they could stop and say, sorry, got to grab the prayer rug. 0.57

01:17:11.540 It's my call to prayer.

01:17:13.060 And you'd be like, okay.

01:17:15.020 Or they can be wildly liberal and lecture you on something or wildly conservative or just bat crap crazy.

01:17:22.580 You never know.

01:17:23.340 It's like going to the casino.

01:17:24.520 Why go to Vegas when you can catch a cab?

01:17:27.580 So we caught this cab and this guy says, where you're from?

01:17:33.540 We said, I just love it the way you people use that accent.

01:17:36.700 That is really cute.

01:17:37.820 It's like we're in Mary Poppins.

01:17:39.360 Anyway, I said, we're from Texas.

01:17:42.380 Oh, and I'm like, oh boy, here it comes.

01:17:46.940 Have you seen what's happening in this country?

01:17:48.860 And I'm like, not sure how to answer that, but yes.

01:17:53.120 Here's a noncommittal sound.

01:17:56.040 Yes, I have.

01:17:57.180 What do you think about it?

01:17:58.840 And he just unloaded on the liberals.

01:18:03.880 And he's like, people are waking up over here.

01:18:07.940 He's like, this is just not going to last.

01:18:10.380 He said, Nigel Farage, he's going to be the next prime minister.

01:18:14.760 And I said, well, that would be interesting.

01:18:17.300 That would be, it would be good.

01:18:18.940 It'd be interesting.

01:18:19.720 He said, oh no, it'll, it'll happen.

01:18:22.100 He said, everybody I know is just wide awake.

01:18:25.280 He said, what's, what's going on here is, is it, and it's happening all over Europe.

01:18:29.080 And it is.

01:18:30.360 And these giant statists have decided that their global, you know, idea is better than any idea

01:18:37.520 you could ever have.

01:18:38.760 And they've denied it and denied it and denied it.

01:18:41.800 And look at what AFD did in, in Germany.

01:18:44.580 I don't know if, has anybody talked to you about this or is this a secret in Germany?

01:18:48.620 And they're like, shh, keep it very quiet.

01:18:51.240 But the AFD, which is, of course, the Nazi party in Germany, they won big time, big time. 0.93

01:19:00.460 In London, he said some, I don't know, some local thing just happened.

01:19:05.420 He said, and the conservatives won 60% of the vote.

01:19:10.760 Like, that's not happened before.

01:19:12.780 Um, and so this is happening all over the world.

01:19:17.140 And now the conclave meeting, it's not exactly the voice of the people.

01:19:24.600 So I'm not sure what's going to happen with the conclave.

01:19:28.060 But remember, this is, they are now electing the head of a state, not just a Pope, but the

01:19:33.540 head of a state.

01:19:34.320 And this will have effects.

01:19:37.080 And if I'm guessing, I would guess that it's going to come as a surprise to you.

01:19:43.100 It's going to be a globalist, uh, and somebody who is all with Black Lives Matter and, and

01:19:49.520 global warming and everything else that is going to be the next Pope.

01:19:52.540 I mean, maybe there is, you know, God still is on the throne.

01:19:56.600 So you never know.

01:19:57.960 Um, but, uh, uh, the pessimist in me says, going to be another Pope Francis there.

01:20:04.780 And it's all about politics in Europe and the world.

01:20:08.700 But I think that, um, you know, the Catholic church aside, I think the, the people of, uh,

01:20:16.140 Europe are a little, little done with it.

01:20:18.580 I saw Maloney and I don't even know, this might've been AI.

01:20:22.340 Uh, and I just, cause I was just reading the text underneath, but I saw a speech, uh, from

01:20:28.180 Maloney and we have to check and make sure this is right.

01:20:30.140 But I saw her give a speech where she was holding up a French, I don't know, dollar, 1.00

01:20:35.240 whatever, Frank.

01:20:36.680 And, uh, she's holding it.

01:20:37.820 She's like, see this picture on here.

01:20:38.980 You know what that is?

01:20:40.080 That's a, that's, I think she said Angola that that's the French in Angola colonialism. 0.93

01:20:46.660 And then she held up a picture and she said, and this is, uh, some of the kids that

01:20:51.300 are working in mines now in Angola.

01:20:54.160 So you really want to care about colonialism and stop it.

01:20:58.900 You don't in, you don't import the people from Angola into our countries.

01:21:03.480 Instead, perhaps the French should just get out of Angola. 1.00

01:21:08.100 Uh, okay.

01:21:09.840 I thought that was pretty strong and accurate, but will that be heard by anybody except the

01:21:19.420 farmers and the average person, you know, you look at what happened in Portugal and Spain

01:21:24.920 with the power outage.

01:21:27.600 Gee, what a surprise that was blamed on the sun.

01:21:30.940 You know, I think the sun's pretty predictable and it's weird.

01:21:35.420 It's weird that it was just those two countries that had gone all to renewables and solar power.

01:21:41.820 It was because the sun, I think, well, I could be wrong.

01:21:46.280 I don't think the sun stops at the border of Spain and France.

01:21:51.080 You know, uh, I don't think the sun was like, you know what?

01:21:54.180 I'm only going to have a solar flare just for those two countries.

01:21:56.860 That's it.

01:21:57.480 And nothing else is going to be affected.

01:21:58.920 Just those two countries.

01:22:00.720 Uh, is anybody really talking about that over there?

01:22:03.500 Nope.

01:22:04.660 Nope.

01:22:05.520 They're just, they're going.

01:22:07.360 They just, yep.

01:22:08.360 We're going to do some more, you know what we need more solar power plants.

01:22:16.860 I have to talk to you about some things that Donald Trump, uh, said in our interview.

01:22:21.940 Um, oh, and I have a rant on the, the ballroom thing that happened.

01:22:26.040 Cause I read, I, I tweeted about the ballroom when I was overseas.

01:22:29.640 And then I, a couple of days later, I read some of the comments of it and I'm like, you

01:22:33.220 got this really, this is everybody's takeaway on the ballroom thing in Washington.

01:22:37.640 I'll get to that here in just a second.

01:22:39.060 First, let me tell you about American financing.

01:22:41.580 I see a lot of people who feel like they're running a race that they can't win.

01:22:44.780 You know, inflation is up.

01:22:46.320 Savings are down.

01:22:47.080 The cost of living just feels like it's getting away from them.

01:22:49.560 I mean, I feel that way.

01:22:51.300 Do you feel like that?

01:22:53.120 How are you supposed to plan for retirement or for college or for emergencies is exhausting.

01:22:59.220 But here's the thing.

01:23:00.300 You are not powerless.

01:23:01.820 If you are a homeowner, American financing might be able to help find relief for you right now.

01:23:07.000 Maybe you're sitting, you know, on equity that you could use to pay off some of that high

01:23:10.600 interest debt.

01:23:11.880 Maybe you could restructure your mortgage to free up money, you know, each and every month.

01:23:15.880 Maybe it's time just to stop putting everything on a credit card just to stay afloat.

01:23:20.100 Now, I know you're, if you're doing that, you're doing it because you have no other choice,

01:23:23.360 but these guys are not bankers.

01:24:05.560 We'll be right back.

01:24:07.400 We'll be right back.

01:24:09.280 So let me tell you about the ballroom at the White House.

01:24:35.220 This is something the president talked to me about a couple of weeks ago when I was at

01:24:38.700 the White House, and I didn't want to say anything about it.

01:24:42.100 This is not something that I, you know, signed a confidentiality agreement on.

01:24:45.880 This is something that he talked about, and I just didn't feel it was, he never said, Glenn,

01:24:49.780 you can talk about this, and I didn't ask, and I'm not going to violate something that

01:24:53.140 was said to me without permission, but it's quite impressive, and I tweeted about it when

01:25:01.860 I was overseas, and I read a couple days later, and all these people are like, oh, just what

01:25:06.240 we need is a ballroom, and I'm like, what is the deal?

01:25:12.360 Let me just explain this ballroom thing.

01:25:14.820 First of all, this is something all presidents do.

01:25:17.100 They, all presidents, especially those with money, have improved the White House one way

01:25:21.360 or another.

01:25:23.240 Jackie Kennedy, she redid the White House, brought the original furniture back, and then 1.00

01:25:27.740 she did the Rose Garden.

01:25:28.640 Last time, Donald Trump did the Rose Garden and replaced a lot of the doorknobs that had

01:25:34.240 been stolen by the Clinton administration.

01:25:35.920 Ooh, did I say that out loud?

01:25:37.640 And this time, he's decided to build a ballroom, and it's not for fancy ballroom.

01:25:42.220 This is for state dinners.

01:25:43.560 There's no place in the White House for a state dinner.

01:25:45.260 When we bring all these heads of state over, we put them in the mud in the backyard under

01:25:48.900 a tent, and if we have to build a ballroom with our tax dollars, I'm like, let them roll

01:25:53.980 around in the mud.

01:25:54.580 I don't really care.

01:25:55.740 However, if the president is going to do it, and we're not getting any special favors, you

01:25:59.520 know, to the president for doing it, God bless him.

01:26:02.500 He said, because he knows government, he said to the White House people, what is it going

01:26:07.760 to take for me to build this ballroom?

01:26:09.700 Because I'm a builder, and I know the red tape.

01:26:12.400 And they said, Mr. President, you're in luck.

01:26:14.920 There is no red tape.

01:26:16.380 Everything has to be approved by the president, and that would be you.

01:26:20.760 He's like, I think I'm going to have this thing built by the end of summer.

01:26:23.720 I mean, and it is going to be a very big and needed gift to the American people.

01:26:32.740 He's Glenn Beck.

01:26:34.360 Have you ever run a business that felt like you needed eight different dashboards to be

01:26:38.420 able to, three accountants, a crystal ball, just to figure out what the hell is going on?

01:26:43.360 If you have inventory, one system, sales in another, payroll someplace else, by the time

01:26:47.900 you get all the numbers to line up, the quarter is over, and you're just hoping that you made

01:26:52.920 a profit.

01:28:22.780 Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.

01:28:27.360 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:28:31.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:38.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:40.380 Well, today, something very political that most people don't look at as political,

01:28:44.300 think that, you know, this is just something that is happening with the Catholic Church

01:28:48.020 and it's not going to make a difference in my life.

01:28:49.560 I beg to differ with you.

01:28:50.880 I think it will.

01:28:52.220 Right now, in the Sistine Chapel, all of the men in red, the cardinals, 0.66

01:28:57.000 are all stepping up one by one to put their hand on the Bible

01:29:01.140 and swear an oath and secrecy, an oath to secrecy,

01:29:04.880 about what is going to be happening when they seal the doors

01:29:08.260 in just a few minutes of the Sistine Chapel as they vote in a new pope.

01:29:12.420 What does all of this mean?

01:29:14.680 What's really happening?

01:29:15.940 Why should you care about this?

01:29:18.200 We have the founder, the co-founder and the CEO of LifeSite News, John Henry Weston.

01:29:25.080 He is Weston.

01:29:26.920 He is in Rome right now and he is covering the conclave.

01:29:31.740 We're going to get all the latest from him here in just a second.

01:29:33.960 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:29:35.500 It's Patriot Mobile.

01:29:37.320 Paying left-leaning megacorporations to fund political agendas is not one of my favorite things to do.

01:29:45.640 Yet, that's exactly what most Americans are doing every time you pay your cell phone bill.

01:29:49.660 You're just trying to check, text your kids or stream a little news.

01:29:53.600 Meanwhile, your money is being funneled into Planned Parenthood, gender politics, 0.98

01:29:57.760 candidates who think the Constitution is perfect kindling for when we start burning books.

01:30:02.460 It is why Patriot Mobile exists and it's why I endorse Patriot Mobile.

01:30:07.520 They use the same cell towers as all the big guys.

01:30:09.700 So the service is great.

01:30:10.740 You get the same coverage.

01:30:12.100 Patriot Mobile actually supports things like free speech, religious freedom, Second Amendment,

01:30:16.660 you know, all the stuff, old-fashioned radical stuff that we used to call, I don't know, America.

01:30:22.040 They're the only Christian conservative wireless provider in the country.

01:30:25.800 And the money you pay for your cell phone service should not be funding the downfall of Western civilization.

01:30:30.820 So make the switch today.

01:30:32.500 What are you waiting for?

01:30:33.220 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

01:30:37.120 Use the promo code Beck and you're going to get a free month of service right now.

01:30:41.180 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

01:30:46.660 John Henry Weston is on with us now from Rome.

01:30:52.060 He is from LifeSiteNews.com, co-founder and CEO, and also the host of the John Henry Weston Show.

01:30:59.560 Welcome.

01:31:00.740 John, how are you?

01:31:01.560 Thank you, Glenn.

01:31:02.260 So good to be with you from Rome where everything is happening.

01:31:06.040 It's funny, all eyes of the world are turned to Rome right now as the world is in chaos.

01:31:11.560 But what's going on in Rome now, the cardinals, as you said, are in the Sistine Chapel.

01:31:17.960 They are making their promises.

01:31:19.880 They are going to seal the doors.

01:31:21.720 And then the voting will begin.

01:31:23.300 This is day one of the conclave.

01:31:25.420 They had the mass already for the start of the conclave.

01:31:29.780 And they will have vote number one.

01:31:31.900 In fact, they will start the voting today.

01:31:34.260 By tomorrow, they will do another four votes, two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and that will continue that way.

01:31:41.460 They will have a break on Saturday, and it will continue.

01:31:44.340 Word on the street here is that we're expecting a new pope by day three, but we'll see how it goes.

01:31:50.220 Okay, so I'm looking at the popes, and I don't know, I mean, the cardinals, and I don't know anything about this.

01:31:55.180 But it doesn't look like there's any real conservative that has a chance of getting in.

01:32:02.400 Well, that's an interesting question, because in the church, of course, we don't talk much about conservatives.

01:32:08.160 It's more about orthodoxy, those who actually follow the Catholic faith, and then those who don't.

01:32:12.280 And on those who do, there are a number.

01:32:15.300 There's one American, of course, there's Cardinal Burke, but a lot of people say he has no chance at all.

01:32:19.980 There is Cardinal Sarah, who is very interesting.

01:32:22.640 He's 79 years old, granted.

01:32:25.340 However, he was in the Vatican.

01:32:27.760 He's also from Guinea, Africa.

01:32:30.120 And so he's as dark as they come. 1.00

01:32:32.580 So the church could be seen to be totally, not only non-racist, but he's also a man of great and deep faith.

01:32:41.160 And so he has been talked about, even though not so much in the public,

01:32:45.180 because the media is not going to be telling you who are the real candidates.

01:32:49.820 Another one who is faithful, or a Catholic, you might say.

01:32:55.200 The old joke, remember the old joke?

01:32:57.280 Oh, it's the Pope Catholic?

01:32:58.400 We haven't been making that for the last dozen years, because it's no longer a joke.

01:33:02.140 But what we have now, we have a Cardinal who is actually Italian, but he is the Patriarch of Jerusalem.

01:33:09.880 He is Cardinal Pier Battista Pizzaballa.

01:33:12.560 A very interesting candidate, because when, and a young man, by the way, just young for a Cardinal, that is.

01:33:18.260 He just turned 60.

01:33:19.920 And when the October 7th kidnappings and massacre happened, he was asked by a reporter, you know, what would you do?

01:33:28.060 Would you offer yourself instead of the officers?

01:33:30.220 And he did.

01:33:30.360 And he absolutely did.

01:33:32.860 So that is being talked about.

01:33:35.140 And wouldn't that be interesting?

01:33:36.400 It would be.

01:33:36.800 Someone who, you know, is a man of great faith, and he's in a war zone.

01:33:42.040 You know how they say, you know, there's no atheists in foxholes?

01:33:45.420 Well, guess what?

01:33:46.540 Over there, it's a daily foxhole.

01:33:48.620 So he's a very interesting candidate.

01:33:51.140 He is young, though.

01:33:52.100 People are saying, oh, too young, maybe.

01:33:53.460 You know, I don't really know about that.

01:33:55.100 But having had the whole wide world watch the dundering Biden presidency, maybe they're sick of two old people as well.

01:34:03.680 So it's really up for grabs in this papal election.

01:34:08.020 All right.

01:34:08.700 So let's talk about some of the things, just to pass.

01:34:13.100 The scandals of Francis.

01:34:15.800 And, you know, there is talk that he wasn't legitimate and that Benedict was forced out.

01:34:26.000 And, you know, there was all this scandal around him.

01:34:28.400 How much of that is true?

01:34:30.280 Are there any real scandals that need to be cleaned up from this or not?

01:34:36.080 Wow.

01:34:37.000 Well, absolutely.

01:34:38.600 Especially for Catholics.

01:34:40.340 And this is the one thing that is supposed not to change.

01:34:44.500 We are supposed to have an unbroken faith that goes from Jesus Christ through Peter and then all of his successors until the present day.

01:34:53.360 And yet we have, over the past 12 years, for the first time in the 2000-year history of Catholicism, you have a break like we've never seen.

01:35:04.080 It's one thing to have popes who have scandals who have, like, children on the side, mistresses, or even kill other people.

01:35:11.480 That's one thing.

01:35:12.560 That's bad.

01:35:13.180 But to change the faith is unthinkable.

01:35:16.960 And that's why there has been the suggestion, is Francis even a real pope?

01:35:20.640 Interestingly, we've had antipopes in history.

01:35:23.520 We've had about 30 antipopes.

01:35:25.240 Antipopes are men who claim the See of Peter but are not really the pope.

01:35:29.700 And that is being seriously talked about by several, even bishops and archbishops in the church.

01:35:35.520 Now, they're sidelined.

01:35:36.420 Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, of course, it's one of those.

01:35:39.460 Love him.

01:35:39.940 And called excommunicated.

01:35:41.300 And the whole point is, though, they're raising this question and raising it seriously, thinking, gosh, this guy is so far off the page.

01:35:49.820 Hence the joke, too.

01:35:50.980 You know, is the pope Catholic?

01:35:52.160 That's not a joke.

01:35:53.000 And so let me give you a few of the examples that really tipped the scales to make people go absolutely crazy with what's been going on.

01:36:01.820 In the pontificate of Francis came, honest to goodness, idolatry.

01:36:08.780 In the Amazonian synod in 2016 came, or 2017, excuse me, came the Hatshah Mamba idolatry.

01:36:16.540 And it was where you can see in a video I've sent along to your people, maybe you can air it, but people in the Vatican gardens, including a priest, bowing heads to the ground in front of two statues of nude women facing each other.

01:36:31.140 And the pope, he's sitting right there.

01:36:35.860 And when the ceremony was over, where he watched literal idolatry, he blessed the statues.

01:36:43.120 And he knew they were Pachamama, Mother Earth God statues.

01:36:48.180 He blessed them nonetheless.

01:36:49.440 Worse than that, they processed them into St. Peter's in a canoe, jumped them down in the middle of St. Peter's, and literally prayed around this pagan goddess. 0.91

01:36:59.640 That sounds too weird to be true, but you can watch the video.

01:37:03.800 And weirdly, he did a similar thing when he came to Canada over the fake news about, you know, indigenous children being killed by Catholics.

01:37:13.840 It was all fake news in the end.

01:37:15.180 But nonetheless, he came, and when he came, a shaman was praying that the circle of spirits might join them there.

01:37:23.020 And he had the pope putting his hand on his chest and eyes closed, sort of quote-unquote praying along with him.

01:37:30.400 And idolatry is the crime that spans back through all of God's people.

01:37:36.540 The time of Moses, we remember, he went up the mountain.

01:37:39.820 And when he came down, and he saw the idolatry, he smashed the Ten Commandments.

01:37:44.300 And God was ready to say, enough, enough.

01:37:46.760 Let me destroy this people.

01:37:48.340 And Moses pleaded for them.

01:37:50.100 That's the kind of thing we just saw.

01:37:53.420 So that was mind-blowing with this papacy.

01:37:56.900 But there's others.

01:37:57.780 There's other crazy scandals of Francis.

01:38:00.840 That's not the only one.

01:38:02.380 So I want you to go ahead and tell me the other things here.

01:38:06.400 But are they going to be talking about this in the conclave?

01:38:11.280 I mean, are there enough?

01:38:12.820 Because I understood that, and I could be wrong on this, but I understood that a lot of the cardinals that are now going to be voting were appointed by Francis.

01:38:22.620 In fact, didn't he increase the number of cardinals?

01:38:25.020 And some are saying that it's not even legal what he did in the Catholic Church.

01:38:30.440 It's not legal, and it's not going to be a binding vote if those cardinals are included.

01:38:35.040 What is that all about?

01:38:37.480 Yeah, so that is a thing.

01:38:38.920 And so the rulebook, called Universi Dominici Gregis, was put out by John Paul II and amended by Benedict.

01:38:46.140 And it said it should be a limit of 120.

01:38:48.380 The thing is, if you check with a canonist, though, the pope has the right to change that.

01:38:51.580 So in doing it, in naming more than 120, it still counts.

01:38:55.580 The other thing is this.

01:38:57.740 There were, there's now 133 cardinals who are voting.

01:39:03.800 108 were named by Francis.

01:39:05.820 That's 81%, more than 81%.

01:39:08.460 So yeah, if you want to talk about stacked deck, sure.

01:39:12.200 The only difficulty with that kind of very political calculus is this.

01:39:17.120 Can you find enough guys who sign up to that kind of extreme left-wing, non-Catholic type of deal? 0.93

01:39:25.960 And the answer is no.

01:39:27.080 So you've got a bunch of cardinals that he named that aren't going to be following in his footsteps.

01:39:31.500 That's for sure not.

01:39:32.200 And so what you have is a bunch of guys that really nobody knows, and they're going to take what's coming as it comes and have to deal with the after effect of the last 12 years, which has been a disaster for the Church.

01:39:45.780 From almost anyone's perspective, even the liberals who are not quite Francis types, even they are sick of it because they want calm.

01:39:55.780 And it has not been calm because he alienated the most faithful Catholics on earth.

01:40:01.260 And to give you one other example, it was the Chinese Catholics.

01:40:05.160 So for the last, since communism in China, it has been a nightmare for the Church.

01:40:11.320 The Church has been actively persecuted by the Communist government there, by the Chinese Communist Party, which of course is all about destroying the Church.

01:40:19.700 They're even, so people know, they're even rewriting, China is rewriting the Bible. 0.99

01:40:26.540 Absolutely.

01:40:27.400 Right.

01:40:27.820 They need their own version.

01:40:29.020 Correct.

01:40:30.920 Because for them, the party is everything.

01:40:34.720 And in fact, would love, as all communists would, to absolutely eliminate religion, but they already learned that that doesn't work.

01:40:43.160 They learned themselves, after trying to kill them off, that the blood of the martyrs is the seat of the Church. 0.65

01:40:48.740 Now, they don't believe the saying of the Church, but they realize, oh, we've tried this, it doesn't work, we kill them, and they grow.

01:40:54.880 So, what they've taken to doing, very smart ploy, is creating their own fake Catholic Church. 0.71

01:41:02.400 And they call it the Patriotic Catholic Church.

01:41:05.860 And the patriotism is to the Chinese Communist Party.

01:41:09.820 Now, interestingly, under John Paul II, they were fought in this.

01:41:13.720 There was a healthy, underground church that survived, thanks to the work of John Paul II, and he had, working with him and for him, Cardinal Joseph Zen, all the time being a representative of the true Catholics, living underground, persecuted. 0.66

01:41:28.500 Every once in a while, they would catch one of the priests or the bishops and arrest them and so on.

01:41:32.900 And this went on for decades.

01:41:35.900 And then came Francis.

01:41:38.300 And Francis started a new deal.

01:41:42.000 You can talk in those political terms.

01:41:44.800 And it's horrific, because the deal, first of all, was secret.

01:41:48.920 They wouldn't even let Cardinal Joseph Zen know what's in the deal.

01:41:53.300 And that was unbelievable, because he was the one who worked most closely with both Popes, John Paul and Benedict, on the China question.

01:42:01.080 This deal was worked out by none other than Theodore McCarrick, the child abuser, who is now Mr. McCarrick, before he died, because he was excommunicated.

01:42:11.860 He was kicked out of the priesthood, let alone the cardinal.

01:42:14.940 And that was the guy who made the deal.

01:42:17.960 But Francis carried on the deal, which really and truly threw all the Chinese underground Catholics under the bus.

01:42:25.240 Cardinal Zen traveled.

01:42:27.420 He finally got out of house arrest to be able to come to the funeral of Francis.

01:42:32.400 And during the conclave, the pre-conclave meetings, called the General Congregations, where the cardinals, even though he can't go into conclave because they're over 80,

01:42:41.160 Cardinal Zen is like 92, he spoke courageously about this horror that's gone on with the underground Catholics and the need. 0.99

01:42:51.740 Is it true that the Pope basically said to the Chinese communists, you tell us who the leaders need to be and we'll okay them. 0.96

01:43:02.900 So he gave the choice of the church leadership to the communist Chinese.

01:43:09.200 Is that true?

01:43:09.740 Well, in essence, yes, absolutely.

01:43:15.000 On paper, it's the Pope is supposed to have kind of a veto over things.

01:43:20.860 And so both are kind of mutually with veto power.

01:43:23.700 And it's all baloney.

01:43:24.900 So I'll give you how radical this is.

01:43:28.060 So in 2000, I believe it's 2007, the Chinese government, the Communist Party, installed a bishop in Beijing without the permission of the Pope.

01:43:41.760 Right.

01:43:42.020 And always, that was regarded as an illegal, basically a fake Catholic bishop.

01:43:48.400 And yet Francis recognized him later as the authentic bishop.

01:43:55.120 And yet this man has been a communist agent who heads up a fake church.

01:44:03.980 He's the head of the patriotic Catholic church.

01:44:06.980 And he was accepted by Francis as a legitimate bishop.

01:44:10.540 It's impossible even to think.

01:44:12.520 Imagine you're a Chinese Catholic underground being persecuted.

01:44:17.220 Your relatives have been taken and beaten and killed for the faith that you hang on to because you are loyal to Rome.

01:44:23.820 And then have Rome, a new pope, come in, turn around and betray you, throw you all under the bus, and appoint the very man who is the head of this fake church as a real bishop, as the real archbishop of Beijing.

01:44:37.980 Well, I mean, it wouldn't be bad.

01:44:39.800 It would be, you know, a Paul Saul story if there had been a change.

01:44:44.840 But this guy had not changed at all.

01:44:47.640 All right.

01:44:47.820 Hang on just a second.

01:44:48.700 Back with more in just a second from Rome.

01:44:50.660 So, first, let me tell you, buying or selling a home, one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make.

01:44:55.200 So, naturally, most people pick a real estate agent based on a face they saw on a park bench or, you know, who brought cupcakes to the PTA meeting because, you know, that's how we make multi-hundred-thousand-dollar decisions now, cake and street furniture.

01:45:10.260 Or you can, you know, do the far smarter thing and save yourself a lot of heartburn and get your home sold and the next one bought for the right amount of money.

01:45:20.660 With realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:45:22.860 This is my company.

01:45:23.800 I started it over a decade ago.

01:45:25.920 We've done our homework.

01:45:27.180 We have vetted the agents that we work with.

01:45:29.500 We know these people.

01:45:31.040 They know the market.

01:45:32.820 They understand things like timing and pricing and staging and negotiation and the all-important exposure and how to drive customers.

01:45:41.940 Before your house even goes to sale, they already have driven customers to their website so they know they have customers for a house just like yours.

01:45:50.680 They're nice as well.

01:45:52.500 Here's what I want you to do.

01:45:54.140 I want you to tell us where you're buying or selling a home and we will help you find the right agent.

01:45:58.320 It's free service to you.

01:45:59.300 I don't charge you anything.

01:46:00.740 At realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:46:03.020 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:46:06.700 Ten seconds.

01:46:07.200 Station ID.

01:46:07.600 So let me ask you this.

01:46:22.520 A question that I think that Francis may have been or Benedict may have been the first victim of a color revolution.

01:46:35.080 that Francis was the first, if you will, global European politician that had a coup done in his favor against Benedict.

01:46:49.080 Do you read that?

01:46:50.060 Is there any way to read that as possible or probable?

01:46:55.940 So it's very interesting.

01:46:57.640 A number of folks, including myself, have begged for records to be released, even by the Trump administration, because you did have emails going back and forth, even in the Obama administration.

01:47:13.380 So during that time, right before Benedict resigned.

01:47:17.820 And you had some very big irregularities as well.

01:47:23.620 You had the banking system that allowed for banking in the Vatican shut down immediately before Benedict's resignation.

01:47:33.300 And then a day or two after he resigned, oh, it resumed as normal.

01:47:37.440 We know there's been massive corruption with regard to the Vatican Bank for decades.

01:47:41.900 And so there was this inducement.

01:47:44.660 There were other things like pressure on Ratzinger's or Pope Benedict's brother that there was a scandal involved in the choir that he was head of.

01:47:57.560 And there was some mention that he might be accused of some kind of abuse, which he wasn't responsible for, but it could have been used.

01:48:05.760 So there were these pressure points that people wonder if they weren't employed.

01:48:12.600 But also the oddity of the resignation itself.

01:48:18.500 Many linguistic experts pointed to the resignation written in Latin by one of the world's greatest Latin scholars, Benedict.

01:48:28.760 And yet he got things wrong.

01:48:30.540 He did not give up the munus, which is the Latin word for the power of the Pope.

01:48:39.500 But he only gave up the ministerium, the actual administrative office, not the whole office.

01:48:45.380 And then his secretary, Archbishop Genspain, talked about what really can't be a kind of bifurcated papacy

01:48:53.660 where Benedict would hold on to his prayer part of the papacy, and then Francis would have the administrative part.

01:49:01.980 Okay.

01:49:02.300 So there are some very strange things that have gone on here.

01:49:05.620 More from Rome in a second.

01:49:07.780 Stand by.

01:49:09.220 This is Glenn Beck.

01:49:12.200 You know, every day a woman walks into a clinic believing she's out of options. 0.89

01:49:17.840 She's afraid.

01:49:18.520 Every voice in her life is telling her to, you know, choose the easy way out.

01:49:23.080 But then she hears a heartbeat, and something changes in that moment.

01:49:26.540 The room gets quiet.

01:49:28.080 And for the first time, she's hearing life.

01:49:31.420 That's what pre-born does. 0.76

01:49:33.000 They offer free ultrasounds to women in crisis.

01:49:35.760 And when that moment happens, everything changes.

01:49:38.360 But except for the crisis, so many of these women are still in crisis. 0.98

01:49:41.420 And they're like, I don't have anybody in my life to help.

01:49:43.760 I'm all alone in this.

01:49:45.140 And that's where these pre-born centers, they actually come in and help.

01:49:49.820 She is statistically far more likely to choose life.

01:49:54.220 And here's the beauty of it.

01:49:55.820 They don't do it with judgment.

01:49:57.880 They do it with compassion and grace and real help.

01:50:00.840 They stand in the gap when that woman feels alone and needs love, not lectures. 0.82

01:50:06.200 If you're a business owner, perhaps you can consider a larger donation for a write-off.

01:50:10.240 A donation of $1,000 or $2,000 or maybe even $10,000 is going to make such a difference.

01:50:14.700 It's $15,000.

01:50:15.960 It's going to sponsor ultrasounds for a needy clinic all over the country for a full day.

01:50:22.500 Give the gift of love.

01:50:24.420 Tax-deductible donations.

01:50:35.280 It's glennbeck.com.

01:50:49.960 Welcome to the program.

01:50:52.280 We're talking about the Conclave that's starting with the Cardinals to vote for a new Pope.

01:50:57.200 We're talking to John Henry Weston.

01:50:59.480 He is with LifeSiteNews.com.

01:51:01.940 He's the co-founder and CEO.

01:51:03.260 Also, he is the host of the John Henry Weston Show.

01:51:05.960 And he is in Rome now with the Conclave.

01:51:10.600 And can we just, before we go on to some other things, can you just tell me what happens now?

01:51:16.400 They're being locked into a portion of the Vatican, and that includes the Sistine Chapel.

01:51:25.020 But it's sealed, and no communication can come in or out, right, until they decide.

01:51:31.480 Is that right?

01:51:33.020 That's exactly right.

01:51:34.100 They even, as of John Paul II's papacy, they do sweeps for bugs and everything else.

01:51:39.940 They actually sequester them into the can't even get outside news.

01:51:44.880 And, of course, unless there's something major, like there's a war happening with them.

01:51:49.120 For the most part, absolutely no communication in or out.

01:51:52.440 It's very striking, though, because there are all these modern means of communications now.

01:51:58.720 And so it's very hard to guard against that, particularly if you have problematic people on the inside.

01:52:06.740 That's one of the difficulties, because right now they have inside one of the Chinese cardinals. 1.00

01:52:14.060 Cardinal Stephen Chow, who is now the Archbishop in Hong Kong, is a Chinese government sympathizer.

01:52:22.440 He has welcomed these fake bishops from the Patriotic Church into his diocese.

01:52:26.720 He speaks for the so-called Sino-Vatican deal, this Chinese Communist Party deal with the Vatican in secret.

01:52:35.300 And he's its biggest cheerleader inside the College of Cardinals.

01:52:38.840 So do we actually, in fact, have a Chinese spy inside the conclave?

01:52:43.940 That's a very good question right now.

01:52:45.900 It's a question actually nobody's asking, but it should be considered seriously, because this is the guy who's on the inside.

01:52:53.980 And his name's Stephen Chow.

01:52:55.760 He's a Jesuit, as was Francis.

01:52:57.540 Oh, boy.

01:52:58.260 And he's very dangerous.

01:53:00.280 Indeed.

01:53:01.340 Okay, so do they politic?

01:53:03.400 What happens?

01:53:04.200 How do they make this decision?

01:53:07.520 So typically what happens, if you remember, these guys are from all over the earth, particularly this election.

01:53:12.500 They came from here, there, and everywhere.

01:53:14.340 Francis did not stay to the normal thing of naming people from these big dioceses in the world that are just huge,

01:53:22.680 and they've given these huge responsibilities.

01:53:25.120 So they're known.

01:53:25.860 They come to the Vatican a lot.

01:53:27.140 But, nope, he chose guys from far-flung places that are here, there, and everywhere.

01:53:33.000 He didn't do – he tried to, what he said, go to the peripheries.

01:53:36.900 Well, what that also does is it has these unknowns come in.

01:53:40.720 A lot of them didn't know what they're doing.

01:53:42.300 They come to Rome and go, okay, what do we do?

01:53:44.760 Where do I get my, you know, vestments for the mass?

01:53:47.120 Is there a good hotel or restaurant to go to?

01:53:49.780 And so this is a different thing.

01:53:52.600 So they've got to get to know each other.

01:53:53.760 A number of things, though, have happened of late that have been more interesting in terms of the faithful helping them know.

01:54:01.100 At LifeSite, we've covered a lot of the Cardinals and where their stand is.

01:54:04.780 We've done deep dives on those that we think are popopulated.

01:54:08.080 There's another effort by Edward Penton and another group at the College of Cardinals report

01:54:13.360 has put out sort of profiles on all of them.

01:54:17.020 The Vatican does it itself.

01:54:18.320 But the faithful felt, hey, it's time that we make our voices heard.

01:54:21.820 We want to let them know the real score because, in all honesty,

01:54:24.460 a lot of us don't trust what the Vatican puts out because they have led to massive distrust.

01:54:30.480 And so they're getting to know each other.

01:54:33.260 They usually all show up for the death of the Pope, for the funeral, that is.

01:54:37.840 And so after the Pope dies, they really do make an effort to get there quickly because they know that the election is coming.

01:54:43.840 It's a very specified thing, that there's a period of mourning for nine days.

01:54:48.880 And then after that, in fact, they had to have called the election between the 6th and the 11th.

01:54:55.120 And so they called it on the 7th, which is, you know, right within that period.

01:54:58.760 And so what they do first is they have something called general congregations.

01:55:05.100 They convene in meetings to talk.

01:55:08.160 And those talks are not like the others because they're not yet locked into the Sistine Chapel.

01:55:13.580 They're not yet confined.

01:55:15.780 They're still in a period where you can hear.

01:55:18.000 That's why some of the speeches, we actually heard some of the interventions, if they call them, by the Cardinals, were made public.

01:55:23.420 Cardinal Venns were made public.

01:55:25.740 That's somewhat irregular, but nonetheless, they were.

01:55:28.840 And other Cardinals had made known what they said, what their concerns are.

01:55:34.680 The Vatican, in fact, puts out a little list of things that they list what the Cardinals are talking about.

01:55:40.520 On the last day, the 12th report, as it were, of these different meetings, there were two a day every day,

01:55:47.280 but they mentioned that some of the Cardinals were talking about continuing in the Francis way, if you will.

01:55:55.660 And, of course, that's a nightmare to all Catholics worthy of a name 1.00

01:55:58.960 because this was the most disturbing thing that Catholics had ever experienced, as I said, in the last 2,000 years.

01:56:04.800 And yet, that has been on the minds of some of the Cardinals to continue in this way.

01:56:09.340 In fact, one of the frontrunners in the race, Cardinal Haraline, has said that he wanted to make sure that this stays that way.

01:56:17.520 So, when we are looking for a, like a Supreme Court justice, you never know what you're going to get.

01:56:24.080 But a liberal one, you know exactly what you're going to get.

01:56:27.700 A conservative, you're like, I hope not.

01:56:31.240 But when they go for a moderate, it's usually really bad.

01:56:37.520 How would you, that's how I would, you know, handicap when we're looking at a Supreme Court justice. 0.62

01:56:43.780 Maybe you have a chance, if they're a conservative, you know what you're getting with a liberal,

01:56:48.260 but it's the moderates that are spooky as heck.

01:56:53.700 Yeah.

01:56:54.400 Compare that to, go ahead.

01:56:56.980 Well, it plays out, it plays out very, very well.

01:57:00.360 In fact, what happens is, with a sort of Francis 2.0, a liberal that goes down that same direction,

01:57:08.300 you would think that the church might, in fact, get to a point where the Cardinals react and go,

01:57:16.100 whoa, this is too much.

01:57:17.540 Like, you thought they would have said that when we did the Pachamama,

01:57:20.980 or when Francis made all sorts of overtures to the homosexual community.

01:57:25.000 He works with this father, James Martin, who in a film you starred in, by the way, Nefarious,

01:57:30.840 that was the name of the counselor.

01:57:33.580 And I think that was done kind of intentionally.

01:57:36.120 No.

01:57:36.720 By the way, that was an incredible film.

01:57:38.960 That was just amazing.

01:57:40.620 Steve Jason.

01:57:41.060 But anyway, that was something.

01:57:43.800 But let me go back.

01:57:44.540 This is, so, Francis did this overture, but not an overture that every Catholic would have loved to have seen.

01:57:51.440 You know, Jesus reaches out to everybody, and he calls them to the truth.

01:57:54.380 No, no, no, it was a reach out, like, come and change our church.

01:57:57.300 And no correction, no bringing them lovingly to Christ and his truth.

01:58:01.940 It was none of that.

01:58:02.740 So, that was scary as anything.

01:58:04.320 You'd think Cardinals would have said something.

01:58:06.540 When Francis, at least in verbally, overturned the teaching on contraception,

01:58:11.300 you would think some of the Cardinals would have said something.

01:58:13.280 Nope, nothing.

01:58:14.260 When he did the China deal, you'd think that someone other than Zen might have said,

01:58:18.420 Oh, a few did.

01:58:19.440 But, you know, really, it was muted.

01:58:21.140 In fact, more stunning to me than Francis doing his thing was the silence of the Cardinals and bishops around the world.

01:58:27.700 So, going in, a Francis 2.0, it wouldn't be as bad, because at least, I think, we got to, eventually, to female priests and bishops.

01:58:38.040 Some of the Cardinals would go, Hey, guys, how is this anymore representing Christ?

01:58:41.620 Are we saying Christ himself was the one?

01:58:43.420 What are we saying?

01:58:44.460 And so, that wouldn't, it would be, you know, okay, we've got another person in who's not really a Catholic.

01:58:50.700 We don't have the joke back yet.

01:58:53.600 And eventually, somebody would go, Okay, time out.

01:58:56.520 This is just wrong.

01:58:58.200 But, with a conservative, we just have restoration.

01:59:00.980 We can have the truth back.

01:59:02.440 Guys, yeah, that was an aberration.

01:59:04.180 You know, whatever.

01:59:04.580 But, with the moderate and the solidifying of what Francis gave them, that's where you have a nightmare scenario.

01:59:13.440 Because then, hey, it might calm down.

01:59:15.860 He might not be as bombastic.

01:59:18.180 But, the church all goes forward under a false new understanding, an understanding that contravenes Christ.

01:59:25.520 We remember.

01:59:26.080 It was just like a month ago that Francis, no, it was a few months ago.

01:59:30.800 But, he was on with a Muslim and a Buddhist and saying, And all religions are paths to God.

01:59:37.660 And you were like, How is that?

01:59:40.120 Didn't Jesus say, I am the way, the truth, the life?

01:59:43.800 No man comes to the Father but by me.

01:59:46.540 Well, I guess he got it wrong.

01:59:48.560 Francis felt, Oh, it's time to correct Jesus on that.

01:59:50.780 You know, he needed some correction.

01:59:52.680 This is insanity.

01:59:54.920 And so, and yet, what do we have?

01:59:57.460 So, if we have a solidifying of that in a moderate, yeah, we're just going to take that and we're just going to move forward.

02:00:03.220 We're not going to do anything new.

02:00:04.420 We're just going to hold it there like every conservative, moderate politician does.

02:00:09.380 They just hold where it is and keep going.

02:00:11.140 So, that then establishes a new kind of church, which is false, and goes forward.

02:00:17.660 That is what they were hoping would happen with Joe Biden.

02:00:20.740 Unfortunately, they sold him as a moderate that everybody could agree on.

02:00:25.060 You know, just relax.

02:00:25.860 But he became very, very radical.

02:00:28.460 Let me go to someplace.

02:00:31.100 I don't know if you're willing to go here.

02:00:32.200 But prophecies, I mean, some people thought that Francis might be the last pope.

02:00:36.800 There's a prophecy about the last pope being Peter the Roman.

02:00:41.820 Any thought on prophecy on where the church is?

02:00:46.560 Well, it is very interesting.

02:00:48.400 So, we've had more revelations from heaven in this century, if you will, than all the centuries before combined.

02:00:56.780 You had apparitions that people can literally go look up in the library.

02:01:02.560 You can go to Portugal in 1917, after October 17th, and see the news reports of a stupendous miracle.

02:01:10.860 70,000 people show up in a field because three little shepherd children said that they were meeting once every 13th of the month.

02:01:20.460 And more and more crowds were soaring up because they said they were seeing, you know, Jesus' mom from heaven come down and talk to them.

02:01:27.800 And it was kind of weird.

02:01:28.700 But, you know, that was the thing back then, that these little shepherd children came and did this.

02:01:33.320 You know, it caught on, and a thousand people would come, 2,000 people, and so on.

02:01:37.460 But they promised that this was real, and that this huge miracle would prove it was real on October the 17th.

02:01:44.760 So, back in the day, the politicians of the time, who were completely atheists and hated the church, wanted to do everything, to disprove the church.

02:01:55.040 So, they ordered all of the media, who were communists anyway, to go and cover this and make fun of these, not only these kids, but it was demeaning the church, saying, look at this fake, absolute BS.

02:02:10.660 These little kids are saying that the Virgin Mary's coming to see them.

02:02:15.140 Nonsense.

02:02:16.300 And they went.

02:02:18.000 And that day, it was pouring rain.

02:02:19.580 So, the politicians were laughing their heads off.

02:02:22.880 This is perfect because 70,000 people show up in a muddy field, and the mud is thick, and it's gross, and they're loving it because it's like, ah, this is so good.

02:02:34.640 And imagine the visuals, here's all these conflicts, saying, oh, you know, the Mother of Heaven is coming, and the Mother of Jesus is coming, and it's a muddy field, and it's disgusting, and suckers.

02:02:45.820 And then, unbelievably, the sun starts to, comes out, the clouds part, the rain stops.

02:02:54.360 The sun comes out, and it starts spinning and casting weird lights, and people are glowing in the light, and then, it seems the sun dances in the sky, and most horrifically, it comes hurling towards the earth.

02:03:05.160 People are freaking out.

02:03:07.080 They're on their knees, pleading, Lord, forgive me for my sins, or confessing out loud their sins, because they all think they're going to die.

02:03:13.780 And then, it all stops, the sun goes back into place.

02:03:16.340 And yet, everything is completely dry.

02:03:21.040 No more mud, no more nothing, all the clothes is dry.

02:03:24.100 It's like a miracle, and you can go read it, because all the communists, papers and everything, they were forced to be there.

02:03:31.520 And there's a photo of it, and it's 1917.

02:03:34.600 So, that basically proved that what she was saying was right.

02:03:37.960 And what did she say to the kids?

02:03:39.020 She said, yeah, hell is real.

02:03:40.980 More people go to hell because of sins of the flesh and purity, i.e., read what's coming.

02:03:45.280 And, you know, than any other sin, she said, people need to turn back to Jesus.

02:03:50.800 And it's so scriptural a message.

02:03:52.580 You've got to turn back to Jesus. 0.56

02:03:53.840 If my people, it says the scriptures in Chronicles, will turn from their wicked ways and turn back to me.

02:04:00.140 And if my people know by my name, it's the Christians that need to convert again and pay attention to Christ. 0.95

02:04:05.000 So, she came there, 1917, found a message, talks about also the end times, and they gave secrets to the kids.

02:04:12.640 They were supposed to be revealed in 1917.

02:04:15.460 And what did it involve?

02:04:16.440 It involved the Pope, and it involved calamity for the Church.

02:04:21.540 Same message in Akita, Japan.

02:04:24.720 It comes from Our Lady also.

02:04:27.340 And she warns that there will be a battle in the Church.

02:04:30.660 Cardinals will fight cardinals.

02:04:32.200 Bishops will fight bishops.

02:04:33.820 And we've been seeing that over the last 12 years like never before.

02:04:36.920 And finally, in a also-approved apparition in France, in La Salette, France, again, little kids see Our Lady.

02:04:45.540 And what does she warn?

02:04:46.920 She warns, Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of Antichrist.

02:04:52.860 And so, just like messages from heaven, telecasting what's happening, and it seems to be unfolding before our eyes.

02:05:01.100 The prophecy you referred to at the top about St. Malachi is an early prophecy in the Church, and it was hidden, I think, only dug out of the Vatican archives in like 1570.

02:05:12.340 He gave a list of the Popes.

02:05:15.620 Now, stunningly, one of the basilicas in Rome, I think it was St. Paul outside the walls, used to have a space under the ceiling on the wall for each Pope.

02:05:26.900 And when I was in the Vatican in the 1990s, you could look around the top wall of St. Paul outside the walls and see all the Popes.

02:05:36.620 And, of course, at that time, it was John Paul II.

02:05:39.400 And guess what?

02:05:40.240 There was only two spaces left after John Paul II, because they had built it after the prophecy of St. Malachi, which had, you will read, if you go look it up,

02:05:50.100 John Paul I was something, I believe, if I got it right, of the half cycle of the moon, because he was such a short paper, it was 30 days and he died.

02:05:59.160 Then, John Paul II.

02:06:01.340 I am so sorry, John.

02:06:03.460 I've got to, we have to continue the story later on, because I've got to take a quick network break.

02:06:08.020 John, thank you so much.

02:06:09.820 You can go to his site and follow him online and be able to find that, LifeSiteNews.

02:06:14.620 Also, Twitter on X, J.H. Weston, and you can follow him on Twitter.

02:06:21.000 Okay, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

02:06:22.260 When you spend a lifetime working, saving, and planning for your family's future, the last thing you want is to watch it unravel,

02:06:27.260 because other people couldn't manage a checkbook or balance a budget.

02:06:30.020 I'm not a financial advisor, but I am a big believer in common sense.

02:06:32.920 And common sense, when things feel this unstable, don't put your eggs in one basket.

02:06:37.420 That is why Lear Capital exists.

02:06:39.780 They are helping people diversify part of their savings into physical gold, silver,

02:06:45.280 real hard assets that don't vanish when markets panic or currencies look to lose their value.

02:06:52.400 Lear Capital makes the process really simple, straightforward.

02:06:55.280 I want you to call them now, 800-957-GOLD.

02:06:58.000 Get your free $4,200 gold report, which seemed nuts just a few months ago, but we're almost there.

02:07:02.980 800-957-GOLD.

02:07:05.100 Have you ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?

02:07:13.300 I guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.
