The Glenn Beck Program - Remembering Charlie Kirk： Where Are We Now？｜ 9⧸10⧸26

00:00:00.000 You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

00:00:02.940 You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick.

00:00:06.760 You don't need a thermometer. You don't need a doctor. You just know, right?

00:00:10.480 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

00:00:13.560 The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

00:00:17.880 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

00:00:20.060 And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

00:00:23.840 That's why I advise you, prepare before the first cough starts.

00:01:25.560 The Glenn Beck Program

00:01:33.340 I know we don't see

00:01:38.900 Everything in the same way

00:01:43.860 But I know we won't be

00:01:48.900 Really free if we don't stay united

00:01:54.900 Divided, cause divided

00:01:57.940 We will fall for anything, it's true

00:02:03.900 So I have decided

00:02:07.980 I will stand for you, and I will

00:02:13.880 I will make us stand, I will raise my voice

00:02:19.160 I will hold your hand, cause we are lost

00:02:24.060 I will beat my trump, I have made my choice, we will overcome, cause we are one, we are one, we are one, we are one.

00:02:48.400 It was a year ago today.

00:02:54.060 Then my friend Charlie Kirk was killed.

00:03:01.800 I'm going to the university where it happened later today.

00:03:10.060 I'm flying into Utah where there is a controversial memorial service.

00:03:24.060 I was listening to those words that we used to play on the show every day as the theme for a while.

00:03:36.140 And are we one?

00:03:42.320 You know, I've known this day was coming for months.

00:03:45.160 and I didn't know exactly

00:03:49.800 what I was going to say when it got here

00:03:54.700 but I do know now

00:03:59.280 it's going to be quite a journey over the next couple of days

00:04:05.740 today the one year anniversary of the death of Charlie Kirk

00:04:09.720 and tomorrow the 25th anniversary of 9-11

00:04:13.560 and I see them as mile markers

00:04:17.780 I know where we were

00:04:20.660 where are we now

00:04:23.660 and I don't

00:04:25.100 I want to focus on you

00:04:30.040 tomorrow maybe we'll focus

00:04:31.400 on the bigger picture

00:04:33.120 but I want to focus

00:04:34.260 on what I think actually is the bigger picture

00:04:38.260 you

00:04:38.800 and me

00:04:40.400 i'll get into it here in 60 seconds first let me tell you about patriot mobile

00:04:49.400 there is a spiritual war going on in this country and you can you can see it in what

00:04:54.220 our culture celebrates what it ridicules what it teaches our children and the institutions that

00:04:59.880 have decided faith and traditional values or something to be pushed out of public life

00:05:05.040 and if you believe that well then at some point you have to ask yourself you know am i a part of

00:05:12.500 this you know am i part of this in any way and yeah the answer for all of us is yeah we are part

00:05:19.620 of it we are part of it in ways that we don't even know where's our money going i've talked

00:05:24.440 about the parallel economy for a very very long time and uh that we have to have one and you know

00:05:29.940 Part of that, one of the reasons I built Blaze and the reason why I do what I do and I left Fox at the Apex and took this giant risk and everybody said, don't do it, don't do it, nobody was doing this at the time, was because I realized they control everything at the network level.

00:05:55.000 They control voices. People work their whole life to get that job.

00:06:01.580 And then somebody in a corner office tells them, no, you can't say that.

00:06:08.540 We needed a parallel economy.

00:06:11.420 And somebody else who believed that was Patriot Mobile.

00:06:15.920 This is a parallel economy.

00:06:21.340 I wish they would use the slogan,

00:06:24.120 Do you hear us now?

00:06:27.000 Because we have to send a message to all of these companies, all of them.

00:06:30.880 But, you know, the big three mobile, you think you're trapped into it.

00:06:35.180 You're not.

00:06:46.820 They actually believe these things and they volunteer their time for it.

00:06:50.600 I know these people.

00:06:51.660 I love these people.

00:07:05.020 I can't tell you how many scripts

00:07:12.700 I have written and thrown out

00:07:14.740 how many ideas my producers have come

00:07:16.920 to me with for this speech

00:07:18.960 tonight

00:07:19.500 for the Charlie Kirk Memorial.

00:07:23.640 By the way, you'll see it at glennbeck.com.

00:07:26.920 It'll be live.

00:07:28.200 You'll be able to watch it.

00:07:29.120 It'll be in front of the paywall

00:07:30.120 so you don't have to be a Torch member,

00:07:31.480 but you can see it.

00:07:34.100 Begins at 8.30 Eastern, glennbeck.com.

00:07:41.420 I've gone through so many different thoughts.

00:07:47.200 Lord, what do you want me to say?

00:07:48.400 And I keep thinking about four words.

00:07:54.040 I am Charlie Kirk.

00:08:03.600 Sarah, would you have somebody go into my office?

00:08:05.720 Just right underneath the 9-11 flag is the Charlie Kirk poster.

00:08:11.780 i got it from his funeral and i brought it and i put it down in my office and it's never moved

00:08:20.740 since and i i got it for the museum because it was such a moment of history and i think it says

00:08:27.180 i am charlie kirk i think that's what we all said i'm charlie kirk and we meant it i meant it

00:08:37.560 I meant it.

00:08:38.780 You know, the way you mean things when your chest is tight

00:08:41.960 and the whole country is looking at the same screen at the same time.

00:08:51.640 And it was easy and it was the right thing to say in September.

00:08:55.800 You know, we were all crying.

00:08:59.440 And saying his name that week made us part of something just enormous.

00:09:08.280 And I do think we meant, I know I meant it, but I have, this monologue, so you know, is more about me.

00:09:14.220 I know, I'm an egomaniac.

00:09:15.740 It's more about me than you, so I'm not, I'm telling you what I'm thinking of.

00:09:22.800 Did I mean that?

00:09:28.100 Today's a mile marker.

00:09:31.980 Today's a day you can go back and go.

00:09:33.820 did anything in my life change

00:09:36.960 or was I just caught up in the moment

00:09:39.040 you know saying I'm Charlie Kirk now

00:09:44.020 it cost a little more than it did even then

00:09:45.800 I want to spend today

00:09:51.180 on the show

00:09:53.120 not necessarily talking about him

00:09:56.960 you knew him as well as most people did

00:09:59.300 and the ones who really knew him

00:10:00.560 have a hard time talking about it today.

00:10:08.300 What I've been doing instead, and mostly at night,

00:10:11.700 is kind of a quiet audit.

00:10:18.580 And I'd rather do it with you than pretend I've already passed it.

00:10:31.200 I know I said I'd be Charlie Kirk, and I made some promises to myself.

00:10:35.280 I was going to take Hillsdale classes.

00:10:38.140 I took one, and then I stopped. I got busy.

00:10:42.960 I said I would read my scriptures more.

00:10:47.460 I have until I got busy this summer.

00:10:54.400 I try to be a better elder statesman.

00:11:00.560 I tried to be a calming influence in the world

00:11:04.480 I'm going to read more

00:11:11.400 I've got a stack of books

00:11:12.900 I've moved that stack twice

00:11:16.640 Are you still going to church?

00:11:30.560 I know people who walked in last September, they went for six weeks, and then they didn't.

00:11:38.260 And nobody in their life knows except for them.

00:11:41.820 That's the trouble with promises like this.

00:11:44.860 It's invisible when you keep it, and invisible when you don't.

00:12:00.560 here's one I think I've avoided.

00:12:04.540 Have I sat down face-to-face with somebody who thinks I'm a bad man?

00:12:08.440 And not a comment, not a thread, a chair, a table.

00:12:15.100 And me asking more than answering.

00:12:18.760 Because that was the whole thing with Charlie.

00:12:20.800 That was the entire radical act.

00:12:22.980 It was a folding table and a line of people who came to argue with him.

00:12:30.560 he never went where he was loved.

00:12:37.160 We're further apart than we were back then,

00:12:39.900 a year ago, much further apart.

00:12:42.980 Say his name today in the wrong room

00:12:44.540 and you'll get a laugh or a lecture

00:12:45.940 of what he supposedly believed

00:12:49.360 from people who never watched him for even 10 minutes.

00:12:54.060 Some people have lost friendships over that name.

00:12:56.840 don't hate them back

00:13:00.820 don't hate them back

00:13:02.660 I know what that costs

00:13:07.720 I'm not good at it either

00:13:10.160 but the moment we answer contempt with contempt

00:13:14.360 we've quit his method

00:13:16.900 and kept only his name

00:13:19.120 and his name was never the point

00:13:21.680 you know there are people on

00:13:26.000 our side who did that

00:13:28.100 they took a dead man

00:13:29.100 they took his name

00:13:30.260 and they used him as a permission slip

00:13:32.920 they told themselves

00:13:34.220 of the cruelty

00:13:36.140 that it was courage

00:13:37.780 I guess I can understand

00:13:42.960 where that comes from to a point

00:13:44.400 maybe it comes from grief

00:13:46.460 with nowhere to go

00:13:47.580 still isn't carrying anything

00:13:52.360 his wife stood up 11 days after

00:13:57.380 and said the answer

00:13:59.100 to hate is not hate

00:14:01.700 she said she forgave

00:14:03.460 the young man

00:14:04.220 she's the one who paid her children 0.82

00:14:07.120 she didn't take 1.00

00:14:09.360 the other road

00:14:10.140 and every one of us who did

00:14:13.120 maybe we should be

00:14:17.460 a little quiet about it

00:14:18.560 you know 50 years to the day of the battle of bunker hill

00:14:26.940 boston laid a cornerstone on that hill for a monument and it was an enormous day enormous

00:14:34.320 day lafayette came to set the cornerstone daniel webster gave the speech about 40 old men who had

00:14:43.840 actually fought in that battle sat down in front and the crowd ran for miles and they passed the

00:14:51.400 hat it's what happened after the speeches stopped that makes the difference you see we've been here

00:14:59.020 before and i'll tell you about it in 60 seconds first relief factor one of the problems uh with

00:15:05.260 something that works is eventually you forget why you started using it you know the problem isn't

00:15:10.880 demanding your attention the way it used to so you kind of just move on so you think well maybe

00:15:15.900 i don't need it anymore it happened to me with relief factor i started taking it because i had

00:15:20.160 terrible pain and tanya suggested no she didn't suggest she said she wouldn't listen to me whine

00:15:24.680 anymore if i didn't take it so i took it because i have to whine to somebody and it stopped three

00:15:30.580 weeks it was my experiment and then i decided i was you know it was here's another experiment i

00:15:36.580 don't i think it's just i'm feeling fine right now it's not this and i stopped taking it and i uh

00:15:42.300 i found out something important yeah it was working relief factor designed to support your

00:15:47.200 body's natural inflammatory response and help with the aches and pains associated with frequent pain

00:15:51.820 over a million people have tried relief factor two-thirds of them have gone on to order more

00:15:55.260 i'm one of them three-week quick start 1776 see why so many people say relief factor gave their

00:16:01.100 lives back. I say that because I did. Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four relief. 10 seconds station.

00:16:19.860 50 years after the Battle of Bunker Hill, Boston laid this cornerstone. They didn't have the money

00:16:25.200 and people stood in line for miles.

00:16:29.640 As I said, Daniel Webster, Lafayette, and 40 old men

00:16:32.760 who had actually fought on Bunker Hill attended.

00:16:36.100 And they passed the hat, and they're going to build this.

00:16:38.920 They lay the cornerstone, and they started building.

00:16:42.480 And about two years into that, they run out of money.

00:16:45.360 And the monument stopped at 37 feet.

00:16:50.640 And it sat for a year.

00:16:53.300 and then two

00:16:55.280 and then five.

00:16:59.040 A stump on a hill

00:16:59.960 where every ship coming into Boston Harbor

00:17:02.740 could see exactly what a cheering crowd is worth

00:17:06.340 once the speeches stop.

00:17:09.480 Nothing.

00:17:10.980 37 feet.

00:17:15.120 They ended up selling the battlefield.

00:17:17.700 They wanted to dedicate the whole field.

00:17:19.000 They ended up selling the battlefield.

00:17:21.700 They'd bought the ground.

00:17:22.800 the men died on, and then they sold nearly all of it off so they could build houses.

00:17:28.580 And they built those houses and sold those houses, those lots,

00:17:32.240 to pay for the monument to the men who died on that land.

00:17:36.720 They only kept four acres.

00:17:41.100 So what finished it?

00:17:42.940 It wasn't the crowd.

00:17:45.040 You know what finished it?

00:17:45.960 It wasn't adults.

00:17:47.220 It was children.

00:17:47.700 children mailing in quarters

00:17:51.240 and a magazine editor named Sarah Hale

00:17:55.100 she's the woman who wrote Mary Had a Little Lamb 1.00

00:17:59.040 she later spent 17 years pestering 0.71

00:18:03.160 presidents until one of them gave us thanksgiving 1.00

00:18:05.500 she got the women of Boston to hold 1.00

00:18:09.020 a fair, pies, quilts, needlework 0.96

00:18:11.820 and she's the one

00:18:14.900 who suggested to children

00:18:16.520 Send in a quarter. $30,000 in a matter of days, all in quarters.

00:18:25.340 So 18 years after the cornerstone, the thing was finally opened.

00:18:30.560 Webster came back and spoke again.

00:18:33.420 100,000 people came.

00:18:35.880 And in the front row where there had been 40 men that fought in that battle, there were now 13.

00:18:42.760 Everybody came for the cornerstone.

00:18:44.500 almost nobody was there

00:18:47.660 for the 18 years in between

00:18:49.700 and the obelisks

00:18:51.200 that stands there today

00:18:52.560 it stands there

00:18:54.460 not because of the people

00:18:56.280 who got the stage

00:18:58.000 it's for the people

00:18:58.820 who never got the stage

00:19:00.240 whose names are not carved

00:19:01.960 anywhere in that monument

00:19:03.480 a year ago

00:19:07.940 we held the largest

00:19:09.140 cornerstone ceremony

00:19:10.420 of my lifetime

00:19:12.020 I sat

00:19:19.000 right up front for his memorial

00:19:24.120 100,000 people in a stadium

00:19:26.660 and more outside

00:19:28.520 and a nation and a world watching

00:19:30.560 that was real

00:19:32.880 like it will never diminish it

00:19:36.120 because I felt it

00:19:37.060 but a cornerstone is only a promise

00:19:40.580 with a date on it.

00:19:42.040 That's it.

00:19:45.980 So what I've been sitting with

00:19:47.680 as I've been preparing for today,

00:19:52.080 the question isn't whether we meant it.

00:19:59.340 I think we all meant it when we said it.

00:20:02.840 The question is,

00:20:05.220 where's my 37 feet?

00:20:07.140 Where is the place I stopped when the money or the intention or the attention ran out and life became ordinary again?

00:20:22.460 Like I said, mine's a stack of books I've moved twice.

00:20:26.320 Mine are all the classes I just didn't take at Hillsdale.

00:20:30.660 if you can name yours

00:20:35.400 that's most of the work

00:20:37.700 I challenge you to pick it up this week

00:20:42.740 not a movement

00:20:45.140 not a moment

00:20:47.600 just the one specific thing that you said out loud

00:20:52.400 when you were crying

00:20:53.260 40 minutes at a kitchen table

00:20:56.360 with the actual documents that you were supposed to read

00:20:59.860 are going to read? Sunday. Then the Sunday after. Maybe it's just this friend you stopped talking

00:21:07.980 to in 2020 and you haven't talked to them because you couldn't get along because of their politics.

00:21:16.560 Call them about nothing.

00:21:21.080 And when somebody laughs at his name, somebody says something horrible today, don't flinch

00:21:26.600 and don't swing. Say his name plainly and then go back to your lunch.

00:21:33.860 His verse was Isaiah. Here I am, Lord, send me.

00:21:42.860 His wife told him once backstage, please, please talk to me before you say that again.

00:21:50.840 he said it anyway

00:21:53.820 that was the promise

00:21:56.580 the four words

00:21:58.360 the rest of us said

00:22:00.060 in September

00:22:01.000 that promise

00:22:03.640 measure the wall

00:22:07.400 from the cornerstone

00:22:08.700 you laid a year ago

00:22:09.780 where's your 37 feet

00:22:12.860 finish it 0.93

00:24:11.480 I don't want this to be a heavy show because we got we got another day to memorialize tomorrow

00:24:25.940 and that's 9-11 I want this to be a mile marker I just want this to be a day that we go okay stop

00:24:32.080 stop where are we because we don't do that enough we don't do it enough where are we my you know my

00:24:37.500 My son called me, and he was just having a bad day.

00:24:42.880 And he's like, Dad, I'm just not, I'm making no progress in my life.

00:24:48.740 And I'm like, are you kidding me?

00:24:51.600 He's like, I'm not, Dad.

00:24:53.020 I'm not.

00:24:53.620 I didn't do this, and I haven't done this, and I haven't done this.

00:24:55.860 And I'm like, okay, those are the things that you are doing,

00:24:59.120 and you're saying, I didn't do those things.

00:25:01.560 That was your list.

00:25:02.520 Let me show you the things that I and others have noticed, the changes that you have accomplished in this last year, and you're blowing by them.

00:25:13.260 You're not even taking the time to go, okay, I did that.

00:25:16.840 And when I said those things to him and I said, you are this, you are that.

00:25:20.780 I just witnessed this from you.

00:25:22.540 You would have done that a year ago.

00:25:24.860 And he's like, yeah, well, yeah, I know.

00:25:27.720 I got that.

00:25:29.040 No, don't dismiss those things.

00:25:31.920 Don't dismiss those things.

00:25:33.340 This is not a day to chastise yourself, I didn't do those things.

00:25:37.000 This is just a time to say, because if you do an honest reflection,

00:25:41.700 and that's what I'm asking you for, an honest reflection on who you are,

00:25:45.580 where you have been, and where you're headed.

00:25:49.640 If you do that, you have to have the inventory of the things you did do.

00:25:54.860 Because if I would have just stopped it, you know what, I said I was going to learn more.

00:25:58.420 You know, I was going to learn more through Hillsdale.

00:26:00.960 well i didn't do the hill still but then i started thinking geez did i do any of that yes i did

00:26:07.480 i've read more history in the last year than i probably have in the last two years

00:26:12.600 um i mean i i've done it just in different ways you have to give yourself the break and the benefit

00:26:24.260 of the doubt that there are things that you've probably blown off because maybe they were the

00:26:29.500 easy things for you. Or maybe you said you were going to do this, but you didn't do that. You

00:26:34.240 just did it another way. You know, I was talking to the guys this morning, Ricky and Jason, before

00:26:41.620 we went on, I just put up on the chalkboard and it, maybe it means nothing to you. I've been

00:26:45.280 fascinated my whole life with something called space time. It's a compact, a compound word,

00:26:49.920 space time, one word. It's a map. It's a map. And when you think about, you know, we always think

00:26:55.100 about the earth going around in 365 days all the way around the sun so where were we well we were

00:27:00.500 here last february we're not even close to that if you're looking at a space-time map we are

00:27:05.560 hundreds of thousands of miles away from that same circle we made where it's the universe is

00:27:13.280 expanding so you never can go back to where you were never but you can find where you were literally

00:27:22.380 on a map, not a calendar alone. You know, it's like when you say I'm, you know, I'm latitude

00:27:29.080 56 degrees, eight minutes, 12 seconds, space, time. You measure things with time and space

00:27:37.700 together, one thing. And so I've always been fascinated on how you really can never go back,

00:27:44.360 but you can trace your way, literally trace your way back on a map of space time.

00:27:49.860 i don't even know why i'm telling you that because the the real point is that's not what i'm asking

00:27:56.240 you to do i'm not asking you to go back and say where was i a year ago you know and what where

00:28:03.000 was i yesterday i'm i'm asking think of forget about what i just told you god i'm so bad i want

00:28:09.740 you to think of a ladder where were you a year ago were you on the bottom rung a middle rung

00:28:18.520 the top rung? Where were you? Just be honest with yourself of where you want to be, who you want to

00:28:25.580 be. Does anybody even do this anymore? Does anybody even think about who I want to be?

00:28:32.960 Or do you just let it spill out of you? Do you just recognize your creative force? You are the

00:28:41.360 one. You are the designer of your life. Don't let others tell you who you are. Don't let life just

00:28:48.320 happen to you. Chart a course. So when you look at a ladder, where were you last year? On everything,

00:28:56.040 your marriage, your family, your kids, your wealth, your knowledge, your whatever it is.

00:29:05.140 Where were you a year ago? Now, where are you today? And don't just look at the bad stuff.

00:29:10.460 are you one rung up or one rung down i'm convinced i'm convinced this is why i think

00:29:21.220 constantine this is why i'm sorry i and i'll put up a can of worms on this one i'm sorry but

00:29:27.560 i do not personally believe that i can be stabbing somebody to death and then go

00:29:35.380 as they're stabbing me in return

00:29:38.360 and I know I'm dying and go,

00:29:40.240 I accept Jesus Christ and then I'm in heaven.

00:29:42.400 I'm sorry.

00:29:43.840 I'm sorry.

00:29:46.620 It's not a get out of jail free card.

00:29:49.760 It must be sincere.

00:29:53.180 It must, you don't need works

00:29:57.100 but that belief changes you

00:30:00.440 if you're like, oh my gosh, what am I doing?

00:30:02.660 I'm stabbing somebody.

00:30:03.780 and I shouldn't be stabbing somebody.

00:30:05.720 What am I doing?

00:30:07.180 Lord, save me. 1.00

00:30:09.260 Then you die. 1.00

00:30:10.320 Okay. 0.91

00:30:11.480 But it's a trajectory.

00:30:14.020 It's where were you in the last five minutes?

00:30:17.400 Where were you in the last five years?

00:30:19.620 Whatever it was, when you had that wake-up call,

00:30:24.060 this is why there's no place too far down

00:30:29.140 that the Lord won't save you.

00:30:30.700 There is nothing you can do that, hey, will shock him.

00:30:33.120 He created the world.

00:30:35.020 He made the aardvark.

00:30:36.940 You think you can do something so ugly he can't look at it?

00:30:40.820 He made the aardvark.

00:30:48.300 All you have to do is just go, I've got to change this.

00:30:52.540 Forgive me for what I've done.

00:30:54.500 I've got to change this.

00:30:56.540 And then are you getting better every day?

00:31:00.300 Because you're not going to be perfect.

00:31:01.820 Everybody's like, I'm going to get baptized and I'm going to be perfect.

00:31:04.740 I got news for you.

00:31:05.660 You're not.

00:31:06.140 You're not going to be perfect.

00:31:07.220 You're going to screw it up.

00:31:08.600 You're going to screw it up.

00:31:09.420 You're going to screw it up over and over again.

00:31:11.480 And you might screw up the same thing over and over again.

00:31:15.620 But is there more time in between those screw-ups?

00:31:21.020 Is the screw-up a little less?

00:31:22.780 Do you catch yourself a little earlier going, oh, what am I doing?

00:31:28.760 Think of yourself on a ladder.

00:31:31.680 or have you gone up a rung or two or down?

00:31:36.140 I know you said, next year I'm going to be on the roof.

00:31:39.320 Well, how many of us did that?

00:31:43.040 Life happens.

00:31:44.820 But are you still making progress?

00:31:49.640 I have to tell you, there's a piece of raw footage

00:31:52.500 that for some reason, I think it was because literally,

00:31:59.340 i think we were like 10 seconds before the show and um i hear in my my earpiece um

00:32:09.720 10 9 and i think i think the first word out of this out of my mouth on this piece of tape we

00:32:15.980 just found uh was wait wait wait stop stop give me five seconds stop and but they continue to roll

00:32:23.680 tape and i said my wife is trying to i could see her through the glass of my studio and i said my

00:32:28.980 wife is trying to tell me something. We caught all of the moments that I found out about Charlie

00:32:37.540 Kirk. It's never been seen before. Never been heard. I just saw it for the first time this

00:32:42.480 morning. One of our producers found it. And boy, I learned some, and I'm not sure how I even feel

00:32:53.000 about it. I learned some things about me. And it's so funny because Ricky said she learned some

00:32:57.360 things about her and i'm like no ricky that's not true about what you're thinking and i learned

00:33:06.280 some things about me and she's like glenn that's not true it's hard when you see yourself

00:33:12.100 in this moment um can we play a little bit of this it's a nine minute we're not gonna play all

00:33:22.920 It was a nine-minute piece of video, and you want to see what actually happened

00:33:31.180 as I'm sitting down to record the show, and I find out something's happened with Charlie Kirk.

00:33:40.260 Roll this.

00:33:42.080 Hold for 30.

00:33:43.400 What do you need, honey, quickly?

00:34:53.640 that's Sarah

00:34:55.940 tell me

00:34:56.700 it's not confirmed

00:34:59.660 my husband saw an ex that charlie kirk is dead but i don't know we can't yeah we can't do the

00:35:07.720 show right now okay i learned so much about me watching that i'm going to frame it in a nice

00:35:19.600 way you know i've always said uh i'm i'm the guy you want on the titanic once we hit the iceberg

00:35:26.720 because i'm not processing anything other than what do we do right now what is our responsibility

00:35:35.240 right now and and honestly i i'm not going to get into it all but i see this cold calculating guy

00:35:43.540 just like okay here's what has to happen and then when you watch the whole thing then i said roll

00:35:50.420 tape I got to put a statement out and it was just all in this nine minutes from finding out to doing

00:35:57.500 this and I had no time to think and Ricky said we don't know if he's dead or not and I said I'll just

00:36:03.360 leave it blank or I'll cut it two ways but I gotta say something and then and then I stop

00:36:09.700 and and then I start talking to you and

00:36:17.080 it's interesting because there's so much there's so many things that I don't know what necessarily

00:36:25.940 I want to say or exactly how I feel about it until I talk it out with you this is such a weird

00:36:31.480 relationship we have because I feel like I know you even though we don't know each other I feel

00:36:36.080 like i know you i imagine you feel like you know me and we're friends and that's why when i greet

00:36:41.760 people somebody bill o'reilly was like your audience hugs you and i'm like and your audience

00:36:47.560 doesn't um and i'm like yeah like i feel like we're family he's like oh okay but i just

00:36:56.380 and it's weird because as soon as i started talking to you you could see i'm no longer

00:37:03.940 wearing that

00:37:06.040 okay everybody

00:37:08.640 here's what we're going to do hat

00:37:20.560 video is at glenbeck.com right now

00:37:22.980 and then

00:37:26.580 maybe

00:37:28.580 we can play cut 3

00:37:29.540 now I'm on with Megan

00:37:32.060 and Ricky was on the phone.

00:37:35.480 She had found out

00:37:36.520 and she's on the phone

00:37:37.160 with Megan's producer

00:37:38.060 saying do not tell Glenn

00:37:39.960 this on the air, right?

00:37:41.920 Oh yeah.

00:37:42.740 Oh yeah.

00:37:43.500 Oh yeah.

00:37:44.240 They were trying to keep Glenn on

00:37:46.060 while the world was waiting to confirm

00:37:48.740 and I'm texting him.

00:37:50.600 I'm like, Glenn is such a crier.

00:37:51.880 Please don't.

00:37:52.600 Please do not.

00:37:53.520 Do not.

00:37:53.880 This is going to devastate him.

00:37:55.020 I don't want the world

00:37:56.240 to see him this vulnerable

00:37:57.800 and then it happened.

00:38:02.060 And I'm kind of glad that it did

00:38:03.740 because I heard it from my friend Megan

00:38:05.700 and we had a chance to...

00:38:08.260 Anyway, here's what happened

00:38:09.680 with the Megan Kelly show a year ago today.

00:38:12.900 There are news outlets

00:38:14.200 reporting the worst right now, Glenn.

00:38:19.680 I don't know what I'm waiting for

00:38:21.780 before I report it.

00:38:22.940 I trust just the news.

00:38:24.720 I trust Deseret.

00:38:27.040 Are we waiting for the AP to say it?

00:38:29.220 We don't trust them more than we trust these.

00:38:30.940 they're reporting that Charlie has died

00:38:33.620 that he's dead

00:38:37.920 at the age of 31

00:38:40.900 which he would have to be

00:38:47.800 if that video was real

00:38:48.920 there's no way

00:38:51.940 he survived that

00:38:53.140 there's no way he survived that

00:38:55.160 I don't want to listen to more of this

00:38:57.600 anyway

00:38:58.420 Some behind-the-scenes looks, as we all remember where we were and how we felt on that day.

00:39:08.880 And I want to hear from you today, 888-727-BECK.

00:39:13.580 I'm so grateful to the insiders.

00:39:16.100 I'm going to do the memorial tonight, and I'm getting together with some insiders.

00:39:25.380 As we, when I land, we're going over someplace and I'm just meeting with a lot of you and I'm glad we're going to be together today.

00:39:32.000 Anyway, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:40:10.520 Glenn Beck is back after this.

00:40:13.100 truth is under attack in our culture people are embracing lies about gender they're rejecting the

00:40:29.640 sanctity of every human life and the government is even punishing people for saying what's true

00:40:34.660 and right or worse the woke mob is doxing them and slandering them with no due process

00:40:39.320 Just an angry mob making their lives miserable or worse, putting families in real danger.

00:40:45.160 But the biblical principles on which our country was founded still matter.

00:40:48.900 Real patriots and Christians are beginning to stand up.

00:40:52.380 They're showing real courage without a safety net of a big bank account. 0.93

00:40:55.780 They're bolstered only by the truths that are self-evident.

00:40:59.200 But these people must be defended.

00:41:01.420 Alliance Defending Freedom is on the front lines of this fight.

00:41:04.360 And they're standing in courtrooms across the country upholding truth and your right to speak it.

00:41:23.340 I want to take your phone calls next hour, 888-727-BECK.

00:41:43.900 Also, I was last night in Dallas at the Republican Convention.

00:41:48.920 The president is a stand-up comedian

00:41:54.760 And you're never like

00:41:56.780 Wait, what does he mean?

00:41:59.440 You never know

00:42:00.420 But I have a lot to say about that

00:42:03.640 And some of the reaction of the speech

00:42:06.460 And some of it right, some of it wrong

00:42:08.180 But we'll get into that as well

00:42:10.960 And a phone call at 888-727-BECK

00:42:13.820 As we next remember

00:42:17.020 September 10th 2001 along with last year's September 10th coming up

00:42:26.920 I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can

00:42:35.800 actually read the news but we're definitely there and I see a story and I think okay but

00:42:39.140 what actually happened not what does the left say what happened not what does the right say

00:42:43.820 But what actually happened? What do we actually know?

00:42:46.680 This has been so frustrating. And that's how I ended up using free spoke.

00:42:50.860 You can see the coverage from the left, the right and the middle and where the same facts start showing up across all three.

00:42:57.860 Then, you know, OK, that's that's it. You got something solid.

00:43:01.680 You can decide for yourself at that point based on the facts.

00:43:05.160 And that's the point. Search something controversial like who controls the media on free spoke.

00:43:10.160 You'll get news and information from across the spectrum, full picture, not just what the algorithm says you want to see.

00:43:16.820 I don't need somebody else deciding what I'm supposed to think.

00:43:20.280 I will find the facts and I will decide.

00:43:23.680 I've got FreeSpoke pulled up right now.

00:43:25.620 FreeSpoke, one word, free, free speech, FreeSpoke.

00:43:40.160 Spark the flame

00:43:53.300 Pass it on

00:43:55.840 Crank the game

00:43:58.380 Glenn Beck is on

00:44:00.880 Glenn Beck is on

00:44:02.880 Na-na-na-na

00:44:05.380 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:44:19.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:26.120 Hello, America.

00:44:28.900 Welcome to September 10th.

00:44:32.020 10th, two things, two things that I think we need to remember today.

00:44:37.660 September 10th is the anniversary of Charlie Kirk.

00:44:43.800 I'm going to be giving the speech at his memorial tonight.

00:44:50.700 And I think it's an important day to reflect on where we were, what we promised ourselves,

00:44:55.980 and then just check, have I done any of those things?

00:44:59.020 Did I fulfill that in any way?

00:45:01.060 Am I a better person today than I was a year ago?

00:45:03.840 Am I more informed?

00:45:05.700 Did I check on history?

00:45:07.700 Am I still going to church?

00:45:08.760 Whatever it is you promised yourself when you said, I am Charlie Kirk.

00:45:13.800 How much of that has been done?

00:45:15.380 And don't condemn yourself with it.

00:45:17.200 Just notice and then pick it up.

00:45:20.420 And the other thing about September 10th is this is the day 25 years ago

00:45:25.020 when we were talking about things that nobody even remembers anymore.

00:45:33.600 And now there was a new study out that shows that our kids,

00:45:39.880 and when I say our kids, people, you know, 30, 35, and younger,

00:45:45.400 they have no recollection.

00:45:46.540 They can't even tell you who the perpetrators were.

00:45:50.200 They can't tell you the number of airplanes.

00:45:52.280 They can't tell you why it happened.

00:45:54.280 They can't tell you anything about it.

00:45:56.100 Nothing.

00:45:57.620 Tomorrow, I'm going to spend some time on that.

00:45:59.380 Today, I want to spend some time on September 10th.

00:46:03.360 You have no idea.

00:46:04.340 If you don't remember that, you surely don't remember what life was like in America

00:46:07.680 the day before the World Trade Centers came down.

00:46:11.900 I'm going to start there in 60 seconds.

00:46:13.300 First, cozy earth.

00:46:14.200 There's a few things in life that happen every single day.

00:46:17.580 I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring.

00:46:19.780 You don't know what problems are going to land on your desk,

00:46:21.780 what phone call you're going to get,

00:46:23.080 you know what's going to be waiting for you when you walk through the door but at the end of it

00:46:27.020 you're going to get into bed and that's the part of the day it's got to be as great as it possibly

00:46:32.660 can be nobody ever thought your sleep could be this good that's why cozy earth is here that's

00:47:30.280 not my age, you don't know. On September 10th, 25 years ago, today, you could take your grandma to

00:47:39.740 the airport you could probably park your car in front of the airport get out have the keys

00:47:48.420 and say i just got to take my grandma into the gate and you walk grandma all the way to the gate

00:47:54.840 you walked in you carried her bag down the concourse you stood at the window until the

00:48:00.700 plane pushed back nobody believes that anymore you didn't need a ticket you didn't you didn't

00:48:10.120 take off your shoes or your belt you had a pocket knife on your belt you might have forgotten about

00:48:16.660 it if you know when grandma if uh you know she's getting on she's got a pocket knife

00:48:24.100 They're not taking it from her.

00:48:27.740 The cockpit door of every plane was a piece of trim with a latch on it.

00:48:33.420 It was the same door that you now have on an airplane going into the bathroom.

00:48:40.020 That's the same door.

00:48:43.740 Crews at that time were trained to cooperate with hijackers because for 30 years, hijacking meant landing someplace warm.

00:48:52.140 and then everybody got home by Thursday.

00:48:56.680 Ask somebody. 1.00

00:48:57.480 Ask anybody over 45. 0.98

00:48:59.320 Ask them if it's true that you used to be able to walk into a federal courthouse 0.99

00:49:03.140 and nobody stopped you.

00:49:04.480 Nobody asked you for identification.

00:49:06.300 There were no metal detectors.

00:49:09.980 Ask them.

00:49:10.640 No concrete planters in front of buildings.

00:49:13.600 No steel posts along the sidewalk

00:49:16.000 because nobody thought of the sidewalk as a thing you needed to defend.

00:49:22.140 You could walk into your kid's school through the front door at 11 in the morning with the lunch he forgot.

00:49:28.260 You go down to down the hall to the classroom, knock on the door and like, yeah, Johnny forgot his lunch.

00:49:35.280 No, he's saying anything. There was no color coded threat level in the morning news.

00:49:40.060 No Department of Homeland Security, no TSA, no no fly list, no cameras on every corner.

00:49:48.100 Nobody had said the words. If you see something, say something.

00:49:52.140 talk to somebody over 45 1.00

00:49:56.400 ask them if it's true

00:49:57.400 that terrorism was a thing

00:49:59.000 that happened in other countries

00:50:00.340 to other people

00:50:01.140 on the third page

00:50:02.320 see if they remember

00:50:06.060 what they were arguing about

00:50:07.280 the summer before 9-11

00:50:08.620 because I do

00:50:10.060 I looked it up

00:50:11.000 because I have a record

00:50:11.940 of what I was talking about

00:50:12.940 shark attacks

00:50:14.000 a missing intern

00:50:16.600 remember Chandra Levy

00:50:19.120 I said

00:50:20.900 what was his name

00:50:21.600 Gary Condit. I think he was a congressman. It was a big scandal. They thought he had killed her.

00:50:26.480 I said off the air that week, you know who the happiest person? There's two people in the world

00:50:31.100 that are happy 9-11 happened, and that is Osama bin Laden and, in a way, Gary Condit,

00:50:36.900 because nobody cared about that missing intern anymore. 0.58

00:50:41.580 We were still talking about whether the election had been stolen. Some things never change.

00:50:46.060 But that was the country. It was so ordinary that nobody wrote anything down about it.

00:50:54.340 When I say Chandra Levy, anybody my age will go, oh, gosh, I haven't heard that name forever and thought about it.

00:51:00.900 And then on the morning of September 11th, it was a Tuesday and it was beautiful.

00:51:06.680 And we all stood. We watched the towers come down.

00:51:10.320 And while we were all bracing for a number of dead, do you remember what that number was?

00:51:18.460 We were estimating when those towers went down that as many as or maybe more than 50,000 people were going to be dead.

00:51:29.720 By a freak of nature, the buildings were relatively empty.

00:51:35.840 They hit them too early.

00:51:36.740 50,000 we were doing that arithmetic in our head and in our stomach oh my god

00:51:44.440 the final number came to 2,977 the youngest was two years old and the oldest was 82

00:51:53.560 from more than 90 countries because that's what the world trade center was

00:51:59.900 the whole world's marketplace you know which is precisely like why it was chosen

00:52:05.720 Why was it chosen?

00:52:06.520 Do you even know?

00:52:07.120 Do people even know this?

00:52:08.280 Why was the World Trade Center even chosen?

00:52:11.100 And who did it?

00:52:12.180 19 men did it. 0.98

00:52:14.500 They were Islamist terrorists.

00:52:17.620 They were sent by Al-Qaeda, 0.99

00:52:19.920 acting on a crazy-ass theology that's still going strong, 0.95

00:52:24.400 that considered our way of life as an offense against God. 0.88

00:52:29.700 that sentence used to be so obvious that it was boring but now look at the gymnastics

00:52:42.480 everybody has to do how careful everybody is to avoid saying it had anything to do with islam

00:52:48.080 25 years on we've talked ourselves into a version of that morning with no villain in it at all

00:52:56.040 It's just like it just happened, like it was a weather thing.

00:53:01.340 And while we were counting towards 50,000 dead,

00:53:06.700 there were streets in the Gaza Strip

00:53:10.360 where the Palestinians were handing out candy. 1.00

00:53:16.240 Don't believe me? Look it up. 1.00

00:53:18.060 The video is available. Look it up.

00:53:20.600 They were handing out candy. 0.89

00:53:22.220 Mothers were handing out cake.

00:53:23.580 They were dancing and clapping and celebrating.

00:53:26.040 Everywhere else in the world, everywhere else they were lighting candles, the Palestinians celebrated.

00:53:36.860 And somewhere along the way, we decided to stop mentioning that.

00:53:41.380 Why?

00:53:44.480 I have to tell you, I'm going to say some things here that I take no pleasure in, but they have to be said.

00:53:52.980 Stations, let me break early here because I don't want to interrupt this.

00:53:55.560 Let me tell you about pre-born.

00:53:58.580 Every human life begins small, small enough to be completely dependent on somebody else,

00:54:03.060 small enough to have no voice in the decisions being made around it.

00:54:06.740 But size doesn't determine value.

00:54:08.340 Dependence doesn't determine value.

00:54:10.060 Human life has value because it's human life.

00:54:13.420 That's something that pre-born understands, and they support the pregnancy centers all

00:54:16.840 across this country that meet women at a moment where they might be frightened or overwhelmed

00:54:21.180 or unsure of what they're going to do next.

00:54:23.000 And one of the most important things that they provide is a free ultrasound because an ultrasound changes the moment.

00:54:30.200 This isn't an argument anymore.

00:54:32.280 There's a screen and a child and a heartbeat.

00:54:34.200 It's right there.

00:54:37.100 That's why these centers exist.

00:54:41.100 They provide compassionate counseling and practical support, and they help her, the mom, understand she doesn't have to face this alone.

00:54:49.700 Right now, there's a mom that needs that desperately.

00:54:53.000 Will you give that to her? 0.99

00:54:55.880 $28 helps provide one life-saving ultrasound.

00:54:58.920 $140 helps rescue five babies.

00:55:01.640 Please.

00:55:03.020 Will you help?

00:55:04.460 Will you give today?

00:55:05.920 Dial pound 250.

00:55:06.860 Say the keyword baby.

00:55:08.240 Pound 250, keyword baby.

00:55:10.100 I'm telling you the blessings that we will get for standing up for the unborn just might save us.

00:55:21.060 Sponsored by Preborn.

00:55:21.940 10-second station ID.

00:55:23.000 let me make this declaration we are about to find out something that we said forever

00:55:39.140 i'm not gonna let them win not changing me we've changed everything and we are about to find out

00:55:46.860 if the terrorists did win in the end.

00:55:50.460 Because what did they want?

00:55:52.220 What did they want?

00:55:53.560 What they wanted, they're getting,

00:55:55.660 but not from them, but from us.

00:55:59.120 They wanted the free market destroyed

00:56:01.660 because they understood something

00:56:04.320 that our own children are no longer even taught,

00:56:07.120 that the towers weren't buildings.

00:56:09.920 They were an argument

00:56:10.880 that ordinary people trading freely

00:56:14.100 without a king or a cleric

00:56:16.200 had built more prosperity for more human beings than every empire in history combined.

00:56:23.740 That's what they were aiming at.

00:56:26.500 And it survived them.

00:56:29.800 But then we handed a generation, an education that teaches them

00:56:34.100 that the same system is not just flawed, not in need of repair,

00:56:39.940 not in need of, you know, it's not a machine that can be cleaned up and re-oiled, re-tooled,

00:56:45.260 but instead they're taught it's an evil system, 0.99

00:56:48.280 and the only honest response is to burn the whole damn thing down. 0.99

00:56:56.380 They failed when they tried to make that very point, 0.99

00:57:00.600 and now we're making it for them.

00:57:04.660 They just had to stop.

00:57:05.900 They had to make that one point and then watch.

00:57:08.780 Watch what we do to ourselves.

00:57:11.580 They needed us to hate each other.

00:57:13.940 They thought we would.

00:57:15.260 that was the actual objective break the country into pieces because we won't stand together

00:57:22.620 and the rest is only a matter of time they failed in September 2001 they failed completely

00:57:28.900 we didn't do it strangers stop strangers on the sidewalk I know you if you didn't live through

00:57:35.000 this you don't believe me it's true you would see a stranger on the street and you could see that

00:57:40.320 they were hurting and you would stop and say are you okay we didn't know each other we were

00:57:44.740 strangers. Men who had spent a year screaming at each other on television stood on the Capitol

00:57:50.680 steps together to sing badly, but sing together and mean it. There were lines around the block

00:57:59.100 to give blood for people who turned out had not survived to need it. Nobody asked what you were,

00:58:08.740 what party, who you voted for, for six months, maybe. Six months. We knew what was true.

00:58:14.740 We knew what had true value.

00:58:18.200 And you know what that was?

00:58:20.480 Each other.

00:58:23.040 And now look what we've done to ourselves.

00:58:25.420 For free.

00:58:28.220 19 men with box cutters couldn't do it.

00:58:30.860 We've done it to ourselves for free.

00:58:38.840 And the marching part of it I think is the most grotesque and strangest of it all.

00:58:44.740 good Americans, decent people, people I know,

00:58:49.820 now out in the streets carrying water for a movement 1.00

00:58:52.600 whose actual governing philosophy would be to kill you if you're gay. 0.99

00:59:00.220 And the LGBTQ community marches with those flags and banners, 1.00

00:59:05.520 marches for cultures where a cruise ship full of gay travelers

00:59:09.420 just got turned away at a port in Turkey, and Turkey's a moderate place. 0.82

00:59:14.740 and then they look at us and say America is full of oppression how we oppress gay people

00:59:20.520 it's one of the safest countries on earth for people that live an alternative life

00:59:25.600 and now they've convinced them somehow or another to tear that whole thing down they call Israel

00:59:32.900 the oppressor when Israel is the only refuge in that region more open to them than maybe we even

00:59:40.580 or on our better days. 0.99

00:59:43.120 They'll kill you. 0.59

00:59:47.540 That's not Stockholm Syndrome. 0.97

00:59:49.440 That's something worse.

00:59:51.040 Stockholm Syndrome takes a captor.

00:59:55.120 Nobody has our kids at gunpoint.

00:59:59.320 It's easier than that and worse.

01:00:04.960 We got lazy.

01:00:07.500 We stopped reading.

01:00:10.580 In 2007, we get the cell phone.

01:00:13.280 We get the smart phone.

01:00:15.440 Oh, yeah, it's smart. 0.99

01:00:17.380 That's the dumbest thing we ever did to our society. 0.98

01:00:20.360 And we decided that thinking is too hard. 0.99

01:00:25.060 We decided thinking was a kind of rudeness

01:00:29.060 and that strong feelings were the same as conclusions. 1.00

01:00:34.660 You know, there are more Americans today

01:00:36.480 with a phone full of photographs of food

01:00:39.160 a waiter just sat down in front of them

01:00:41.620 than there are Americans with a shelf of books

01:00:44.240 that they've actually read.

01:00:46.520 We've never had more access

01:00:48.620 to every single fact in human history,

01:00:52.020 and we have never known less.

01:00:55.540 At the same time, we've never been more certain

01:00:58.100 of what we know,

01:01:00.740 even though we know Jack.

01:01:07.020 We have so many moral failures,

01:01:08.960 but none of those are moral failures.

01:01:11.040 That's just atrophy.

01:01:13.180 It's just a muscle we stopped using.

01:01:16.600 And it goes the way muscles go.

01:01:26.640 You know, civilization takes centuries to build.

01:01:30.420 This wasn't built in 250 years.

01:01:33.120 This took centuries to get here.

01:01:35.320 out of a thousand years English common law the printing press the reformation the enlightenment

01:01:42.820 the founding the long ugly tireless work of making the promise true for everybody in it

01:01:50.940 century after century of people who never saw the payoff just laying down another set of bricks

01:01:58.480 you know what we learned on September 11th

01:02:03.120 it can all be lost

01:02:05.100 like that

01:02:06.640 not conquered

01:02:08.580 lost

01:02:09.560 just gone

01:02:10.940 you know I learned this September 11th

01:02:16.200 it can just

01:02:18.280 be set down

01:02:20.440 walked away from

01:02:21.900 by people who just assume

01:02:24.580 it just grows wild

01:02:25.720 Let me tell you something.

01:02:31.220 If we lose it, people will weep at that loss.

01:02:38.600 The generation after this one is going to wake up in a world where the American century is over.

01:02:44.460 And they'll begin to understand what it actually was.

01:02:47.220 And they will spend their whole lives, maybe two generations, maybe three, clawing to recover a fraction of it.

01:02:55.720 And not the America I remember before 9-11, not the rose-colored version, the one that

01:03:01.240 never existed, the real one, this one, right now, with all the arguments and the warts

01:03:07.660 and the failures and the real injustices that still happen here and they still need fixing.

01:03:14.020 That's what they'll be trying to get back, not manage it, not destroy it.

01:03:18.620 They'll try to get today back because they'll look at today with all of our flaws and problems,

01:03:23.840 everything that everybody's whining about and they'll say those were the good old days

01:03:27.920 they will look at this exact moment a country where a man can call the president a fascist

01:03:35.540 on a screen the size of a barn door on a fifteen hundred dollar phone while claiming he's broke

01:03:43.180 while a machine brings dinner to his apartment and he goes to sleep without any fear whatsoever

01:03:49.860 of the midnight knock on his door.

01:03:53.740 Yeah, for as many problems as we have,

01:03:56.020 these are the good old days.

01:04:01.040 I know nobody wants to hear it,

01:04:03.740 but this is it.

01:04:05.600 You're living it right now.

01:04:13.600 You know, we've already proved that we can do this,

01:04:15.960 not in theory, in this lifetime, in this country,

01:04:19.020 with the same people we have right now.

01:04:22.020 You know, when the bridges and the tunnels closed

01:04:23.880 after half a million people were stranded

01:04:26.560 on the seawall in lower Manhattan

01:04:28.620 with a sky black behind them?

01:04:32.000 Do you know what happened?

01:04:34.680 Bet you don't.

01:04:37.360 I mean, they're not teaching you anything about it.

01:04:40.000 I can tell you most people have never,

01:04:42.580 they never knew what happened down on that seawall.

01:04:47.160 So I'll tell you about that next.

01:05:05.440 You know, preparedness is about accepting the fact that sometimes things happen that you didn't predict.

01:05:11.560 A storm knocks out a power, you know, the grid goes down, supply chains get interrupted,

01:05:15.560 something happens a thousand miles away and uh within hours you're looking at empty shelves where

01:05:20.780 you live you don't control any of that you don't control whether there's food in your house when

01:05:26.020 that happens i mean look at the price of diesel you know we have another four cents last night

01:05:30.000 this is not good it's not good what happens if god forbid supply chain starts to break down

01:05:38.300 this is why i have my patriot supply the emergency food kit in my home their kits are designed for

01:05:44.480 long-term storage with up to 25 years of shelf life they come in stackable easy to store tubs

01:06:21.280 Today at glennbeck.com, we remember Charlie Kirk,

01:06:23.720 the never-before-seen moment, Glenn learned he was gone,

01:06:26.200 and the historic week that followed.

01:06:41.140 it's september 10th we've been remembering charlie kirk uh today if you missed any of the broadcast

01:07:02.420 Hour one is pretty powerful.

01:07:08.300 And here in this hour, we are talking about September 10th.

01:07:13.560 And I want to use this as a measuring stick to remember where we have been.

01:07:19.000 Where were you last year?

01:07:20.860 And I don't mean like, where do you remember where you were?

01:07:22.820 I mean, what did you promise yourself if you did?

01:07:26.040 You know, I am Charlie Kirk.

01:07:27.660 If you said that, what did you mean by that?

01:07:29.240 And have you done any of those things?

01:07:30.800 I mean, I did this against myself, you know, last hour.

01:07:33.960 And I don't measure up to where I wanted to be, what I promised myself I would do.

01:07:38.000 I don't measure up.

01:07:39.020 I don't think many of us do.

01:07:40.380 Some of us, thank God there's some people better than me and maybe you.

01:07:44.480 But we have to be able to remember.

01:07:47.980 And remember, you know, as I was saying, remember that you could walk through the concourse at the airport and get right onto a plane on September 10th, 25 years ago.

01:07:57.440 By the next day, you could not do that anymore.

01:08:00.800 but we also just dogpile on all the bad stuff.

01:08:06.980 You know, when the bridges and tunnels closed,

01:08:09.080 half a million people were stranded right there in lower Manhattan.

01:08:12.960 Half a million.

01:08:14.640 Sky was on fire behind them.

01:08:16.520 Black, dust, ash, everywhere.

01:08:20.200 I mean, it was...

01:08:24.200 You know, the Coast Guard put out a call for every boat that could come.

01:08:28.760 Tugboats, ferries, dinner cruises, fishing charters, you know, a guy with a Boston whaler, anybody, Coast Guard, anybody that can help evacuate people, please come and help.

01:08:41.060 In under nine hours, they took half a million people off of that island.

01:08:45.680 It is, listen to this, it was the largest, and still is, the largest sea evacuation in the history of the world, bigger than Dunkirk.

01:08:58.000 and then everybody just went back to work.

01:09:02.060 Everybody just went home.

01:09:05.700 Most of them never told anybody about it.

01:09:07.800 And nobody organized it.

01:09:09.740 Nobody was in charge of it.

01:09:14.100 We were.

01:09:15.980 We were.

01:09:16.700 We just did the right thing.

01:09:19.840 Those people didn't die out.

01:09:21.420 They're still here.

01:09:22.040 They're your neighbors.

01:09:24.000 They may be the guy that you can't stand

01:09:26.840 because of the sign in his yard.

01:09:32.620 And when people say, you know, I want my country back,

01:09:34.760 that's what they mean by that.

01:09:36.040 I want that back.

01:09:37.580 I want that back.

01:09:38.920 That's the country I loved.

01:09:40.400 But may I reverse that for a second?

01:09:43.140 I want you to look at that another way.

01:09:47.200 That country loved us.

01:09:50.040 Not the government, the country, the thing itself.

01:09:54.840 It fed people who never worked a day for it. 0.97

01:09:57.940 It took in ones that nobody else wanted.

01:10:00.280 Inside a generation made children or grandchildren doctors and lawyers.

01:10:07.940 It went across an ocean twice for strangers and came home and asked for nothing but the ground to bury its boys in.

01:10:16.460 It made poor men's sons richer.

01:10:19.660 richer than a European duke

01:10:22.140 and we thought so little of it 0.56

01:10:24.280 that we didn't even bother

01:10:26.000 to write the man's name down

01:10:27.460 do you know we are making more millionaires

01:10:30.200 right now this year than ever 1.00

01:10:32.220 before people who are coming from

01:10:34.140 the middle class and becoming

01:10:36.160 a millionaire

01:10:36.700 this country has been carrying us

01:10:40.020 the entire time quietly every

01:10:41.820 single day and nobody ever

01:10:43.640 nobody says anything nice about it

01:10:45.900 and nobody ever sends it a note

01:10:47.740 and now we've spent 25 years telling everybody it's wicked that it's rotten it was rotten from

01:10:57.700 the start that everything it gave us was stolen and everything that it built should be torn down

01:11:04.420 or burned down and it hasn't stopped and that's the part that really i can't it's still feeding

01:11:11.980 us this morning. It's still a place people are dying in the desert to reach.

01:11:19.580 It still goes on loving a generation that never once said thank you and might even be

01:11:26.060 embarrassed to say thank you, America. There's a name for that. You love somebody who just

01:11:36.140 won't even look up, won't even give, you just keep setting the table anyway.

01:11:41.980 It's just going to keep doing it because it loves you and it'll keep doing it until the day it can't.

01:11:48.440 And it's not going to warn us.

01:11:50.200 There's not going to be a letter.

01:11:52.660 It just won't be there one morning because that's what we felt on September 11th.

01:11:58.000 My God, this could be over before we hit dinner time.

01:12:02.720 And the ones who come after will spend their whole lives trying to describe to others what we lost.

01:12:11.700 we're telling our kids and our grandkids

01:12:13.940 and they don't believe us now

01:12:15.380 wait until all of this is lost

01:12:17.480 we'll fail because there won't be words for it left

01:12:22.460 I want you to go back to that concourse with me

01:12:29.020 where I said you could walk in with your grandma

01:12:31.540 and you could walk her all the way to the gate

01:12:33.600 and you could carry her luggage and nothing was ever

01:12:35.660 and nobody stopped you

01:12:36.780 and you stood there and watched her from the window

01:12:39.580 as her plane pulled away from the gate.

01:12:43.140 Come back to that concourse.

01:12:44.620 She's wearing her good coat.

01:12:45.700 She's got the good coat on, the nice one.

01:12:52.160 You're carrying the bag with the wheels that

01:12:54.040 one of them just doesn't work right.

01:12:58.320 You stand at that window

01:12:59.740 and you watch that plane pull back.

01:13:04.480 You actually wave,

01:13:05.820 even though you're pretty sure she can't see you.

01:13:09.580 And then you walk out into the parking garage

01:13:11.640 and you don't think anything about it at all.

01:13:18.520 You get in the car, turn on the radio.

01:13:21.120 What's for dinner?

01:13:24.440 That was a gift.

01:13:28.420 Nobody told you, but that was a gift.

01:13:32.300 You were handed the last ordinary morning

01:13:35.720 of the old world on September 11th.

01:13:38.640 Sorry, September 10th, 2001.

01:13:43.000 And you spend it thinking about dinner or whatever else.

01:13:48.120 Because everything else was ordinary that day.

01:13:50.920 And you're right to think about that.

01:13:52.280 That's what ordinary is for.

01:13:55.920 But I want to remind you, we're standing in the ordinary.

01:14:02.460 A different kind, but an ordinary today.

01:14:05.700 Right now.

01:14:08.640 Somewhere in this country, there's a morning coming that will divide our lives entirely.

01:14:19.980 And that day is not on any calendar.

01:14:22.500 Nobody's watching and saying, I know when that's going to happen.

01:14:29.100 And what we will remember about today, this Thursday, this nothing of a day, is what we always remember.

01:14:39.620 Not the argument, not the elections, but the kitchen.

01:14:44.040 The dog.

01:14:47.220 Somebody's hand on the back of your neck.

01:14:54.840 You can't save a country by loving it.

01:14:58.980 But you also can't save one you've stopped loving either.

01:15:01.700 you can't love the thing

01:15:07.280 without loving the people in it

01:15:08.740 and the people in it

01:15:12.240 are the ones we're not speaking to anymore

01:15:16.940 it is an ordinary

01:15:29.140 Thursday in America

01:15:31.780 I don't know what the rest of the day brings

01:15:35.640 I hope nothing

01:15:37.860 so we can all go

01:15:41.620 to bed tonight and close our eyes

01:15:43.720 and not think about this

01:15:45.860 ordinary day

01:15:47.280 anymore

01:15:49.800 and hopefully

01:15:52.100 we wake up tomorrow to another

01:15:53.780 ordinary Friday

01:15:55.120 I remember September 10th, 2001.

01:16:07.460 It was the last ordinary day of my life, of the America I knew.

01:16:16.660 And in one day, the next morning, that ordinary America was completely different.

01:16:25.120 it's weird that we call

01:16:33.580 what's happening in the world today ordinary

01:16:35.560 but it is

01:16:36.320 it's just the new normal

01:16:39.300 and I thank God

01:16:41.980 we

01:16:42.220 we got another September 10th

01:16:45.980 recognize what we have

01:16:55.400 don't spend this ordinary Thursday

01:16:59.340 this September 10th

01:17:01.340 the way we've spent

01:17:05.260 the last

01:17:05.860 25 years

01:17:08.820 of this date

01:17:15.980 I still believe we're bound for greatness and glory and great things.

01:17:21.580 I still believe that our best days are ahead of us.

01:17:28.400 But some days I really have to fight to believe that.

01:17:33.020 But it's not going to come down to an election.

01:17:35.060 It's not going to come down to politicians.

01:17:38.460 It's going to come up to us on an ordinary Thursday.

01:17:43.540 just a group of ordinary big people.

01:17:50.880 That's America.

01:17:53.840 Back in a minute.

01:17:56.420 You know, you can get used to being tired.

01:17:58.780 That's the problem.

01:18:00.100 You start thinking about, you know,

01:18:01.940 that moment where you wake up sore.

01:18:05.560 You've shifted all night,

01:18:06.760 drag yourself through another few hours,

01:18:08.660 you know, of the morning.

01:18:10.480 It's just normal.

01:18:11.500 eventually you stop expecting a good night's sleep and that's why i want you to look at ghost bed

01:18:16.840 they have redesigned the mattress around the things that actually matter when you're trying

01:18:20.600 to sleep support pressure points pressure relief and comfort temperature as well they spent years

01:18:27.500 developing a different kind of mattress and the options so you can find the one that fits the way

01:18:31.920 you sleep now you can shop from home instead of spending your saturday lying on mattresses in your

01:18:36.560 shoes under fluorescent lights with a salesman six feet away going what do you think of this one

01:18:40.280 And you're like, yeah, I think this one's best.

01:18:42.860 You have no idea.

01:18:44.620 No idea.

01:18:47.160 You need a place where your body at night can actually rest and recover and get ready again to do it tomorrow.

01:18:52.820 Because the real test of a mattress isn't what it promises you at night.

01:19:38.980 you know people have gotten a lot more careful about what they put into their bodies lately

01:19:50.640 they try to read food labels uh they avoid artificial ingredients they pay attention to

01:19:55.520 where their food comes from but when they go to the kitchen and they fill up a glass they never

01:19:59.680 even think about it and that doesn't make a lot of sense obviously i'm guessing it doesn't make

01:20:04.420 much sense to you either if you're you know going to be careful about what you eat you obviously

01:20:07.920 should be careful about what you drink as well it's one of the reasons why i love cove pure it's

01:20:12.360 a reverse osmosis system that helps remove things you probably don't want in your water in the first

01:20:17.280 place you know including heavy metals fluoride pharmaceuticals other contaminants and it leaves

01:20:23.160 you with clean great tasting water which is what you want right you don't want all the other stuff

01:20:28.760 you just want clean clear great tasting water the next thing that you have to worry about of course

01:20:34.780 is to the routine, the hassle. 0.92

01:20:37.720 Is it a big pain in the butt to do all this? 0.90

01:20:39.580 No, you just turn on the tap, 0.94

01:20:40.980 you know you've been drinking water

01:20:42.540 that's been thoroughly filtered every single time.

01:20:45.100 If you're already paying attention

01:20:46.500 to what goes on your plate,

01:20:49.800 to what goes in your glass as well.

01:20:51.540 So don't wait for the government to catch up to you.

01:21:30.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:31.920 Let me go to Trevor.

01:21:34.000 Hello, Trevor.

01:21:34.620 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:37.600 Hey, Glenn.

01:21:38.480 How's it going?

01:21:40.680 Yeah, I thought that was really fast.

01:21:44.100 So, let's take so much time here.

01:21:47.760 You know, last time we met, you know, you were incredibly kind to my eight-year-old little girl.

01:21:51.500 It was right after Cheyenne's performance in The Sound of Music. 0.99

01:21:54.280 I was that weirder that came up and said, hey, you sick, twisted freak. 0.92

01:21:57.960 Anyway, it was a wonderful experience, and you were just so kind to her. 0.97

01:22:01.440 and she still knows he's the guy on the radio.

01:22:04.040 So anyway, just with your words and everything this morning,

01:22:09.380 it's brought up a lot of just contemplation

01:22:15.440 and kind of where I'm at in reflection.

01:22:17.420 But, you know, so I went to the UVU campus the day they reopened

01:22:20.080 after what happened to Charlie.

01:22:22.660 And, I mean, it was already an unofficial memorial.

01:22:27.380 You know, there was such a profound reverence and spirit there.

01:22:31.440 Like most people, I mean, I made promises that fell, you know, myself that I soon fell short on.

01:22:38.100 But anyway, so about four months later, after failing at keeping my promises, I was asked to perform as, you know, as Thomas in a local production of Savior of the World.

01:22:50.540 And I'm not an actor by any means.

01:22:52.740 So I quickly dismissed that and said no.

01:22:56.320 And then a second time I got asked, I said no.

01:22:59.300 And a third time I got asked, you know, I felt this unmistakable impression that someone's trying to reach you and you're not listening.

01:23:09.180 Here I am, Lord.

01:23:12.200 Yeah, it's like, here I am.

01:23:13.740 You know, it's the Jim Carrey, Bruce Almighty, send me a sign.

01:23:18.000 It was all these signs and images, ignore it.

01:23:21.240 But, you know, I had no time to prepare.

01:23:23.440 You know, I have a demanding work schedule and I prayed for help.

01:23:26.120 And for days, I just I couldn't even sleep.

01:23:28.180 and uh at night my mind would run the lines the music everything and all night long i prayed lord

01:23:33.380 god i need to sleep and uh an answer came almost immediately like i've never heard

01:23:42.460 a voice you asked for my help

01:23:48.320 that moment changed me and uh wasn't about a play wasn't about a performance it was about

01:23:58.080 taking the time and making the choice, making the sacrifice. I told God, I don't have enough

01:24:05.640 time for you. I don't have enough time to give you, but I gave him what I had. I had a few minutes

01:24:11.740 each day and he took that and multiplied it. And he did more with that than I ever could.

01:24:18.540 And looking back from where I was standing there 50 feet away from when I made those promises

01:24:26.700 to today, if there was a side-by-side comparison,

01:24:32.340 I want to chase this version of myself versus who I was before.

01:24:40.160 What a great story, Trevor.

01:24:43.280 What a great call.

01:24:44.280 Thank you.

01:24:45.680 Thank you.

01:24:46.660 I mean, that is where we should all strive to get to,

01:24:50.900 to where, I mean, I love his humility where, you know,

01:24:55.760 I didn't get there and I didn't, you know, I have dropped the ball here and there, but that's where I want to be.

01:25:02.720 That's who I want to be.

01:25:05.100 And that's, that is the hope of me when I was preparing this show late last night.

01:25:10.640 That is my hope that, that you don't beat yourself up and that you look at where you said you wanted to be

01:25:20.000 and where you are now and recognize the progress and then recognize the place like, you know,

01:25:28.120 as I told you, I promised a lot of things and I didn't do a lot of things.

01:25:32.040 I did different things and it got me to the same place, but

01:25:35.360 just notice where you were and then choose again. This is where I want to be.

01:25:50.000 We'll be right back.

01:29:21.760 hi glenn i'm 17 years old and a messianic jew you took my call last year on the program

01:29:28.340 And I just want to say in this past year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, so much has changed.

01:29:33.260 There's been a major shift.

01:29:34.420 I've noticed where people aren't having conversations about their beliefs.

01:29:38.260 And there's no unification even within our own party.

01:29:40.640 Instead of having conversations, everyone is angry and hostile towards each other.

01:29:44.140 It is sad to see.

01:29:45.400 And I deeply miss the days when we all had the same goal, which was to combat leftist ideologies.

01:29:50.820 You're a major inspiration to me, Glenn, and so is Charlie.

01:29:53.420 Thank you for everything that you do for our movement.

01:29:55.220 my gosh you are so together you're like i was so that was the nicest executive brief i've received

01:30:03.200 ever perhaps my gosh javi uh i am i'm sorry you feel that way and i know what you're feeling

01:30:10.880 have you been able to reflect on the day at all and see any progress even if it's just in you

01:30:16.200 i've yeah i've definitely seen progress within myself i've been able to speak more boldly about

01:30:22.040 my beliefs um charlie's the whole entire reason that i got into politics and you are too glenn

01:30:26.220 i've been listening to you since i was 10 years old with my mom so i definitely see some progress

01:30:30.240 um but i also feel like we're taking a few steps back at the same time what do you want to be when

01:30:35.280 you grow up i know you're 17 what do you what do you what are you what are you thinking you're

01:30:39.580 going to do um i definitely want to go into the political realm i would love to be a journalist

01:30:44.880 and do what you do and have my own show someday um and yeah i would love to do that but i'm kind

01:30:50.560 I'm just seeing where the political realm takes me.

01:30:54.500 I just had to ask Ricky for permission on this.

01:30:57.720 I would love to mentor you any way I possibly can.

01:31:03.300 I would love to meet you.

01:31:04.640 I want you to reach out to Ricky.

01:31:06.400 We're going to get you her address, but I want you to reach out to Ricky.

01:31:11.300 And, you know, if you want to intern or whatever, but I'd love to meet you.

01:31:17.180 I would love that.

01:31:18.060 Thank you so much.

01:31:18.760 That means a lot.

01:31:19.420 You bet.

01:31:19.800 Thanks, Avi.

01:31:22.500 Let's go to Idaho.

01:31:23.880 Amanda.

01:31:24.320 Hello, Amanda.

01:31:26.380 Glenn, hello.

01:31:28.200 Thank you so much for sharing your footage of that morning.

01:31:33.760 And I just want to share that that day will be a memory that will last forever.

01:31:42.080 I am a pharmacist, and I have made a career change.

01:31:45.540 I will be going into being a nutrition health coach.

01:31:50.440 I am looking into being a grief counselor.

01:31:53.420 I am looking at completing the Peterson Academy program, as well as taking Hillsdale college courses.

01:31:59.940 Good for you.

01:32:00.540 And I'm just wanting to fill the gaps that are in my community.

01:32:03.540 I want to serve people, and I want to show them the love of Christ.

01:32:08.860 I feel like such a slug. 0.83

01:32:11.620 Such a slug.

01:32:12.600 Like, one of my goals was to complete and to complete a bunch of courses with his Hillsdale's one.

01:32:19.900 I think I completed one.

01:32:21.720 My wife and I were going to do it together, and then we just got busy, and we – so I got to get back to that.

01:32:27.200 And then, you know, I'm struggling with that one, and look at you.

01:32:29.820 You're like, and I also – I'm thinking about building a 100-story building by myself.

01:32:36.320 I'm going to make it out of paperclips, but I think I could – okay, all right.

01:32:39.420 Well, overachiever, thank you.

01:32:41.280 Amanda, that is so great to hear from you.

01:32:44.080 Thank you for giving us a little white pill.

01:32:47.360 Oh, well, and I must admit the Hillsdale College courses have gone on the back burner myself as well.

01:32:54.540 But that is something that I'm going to excel at completing.

01:32:57.540 I started a couple courses and I will be completing them.

01:33:00.360 So that is my next step of completion.

01:33:05.340 That's good.

01:33:06.180 I mean, they're brilliant and they're free.

01:33:08.320 I mean, that's the amazing thing is you could go.

01:33:11.840 Hillsdale is giving these unbelievable courses, and you can learn so much from them.

01:33:18.740 Thank you, Amanda.

01:33:19.740 Let me go to Jessica in Pennsylvania.

01:33:23.240 Hello, Jessica.

01:33:24.000 Hey, Glenn.

01:33:24.700 Hi.

01:33:26.080 I want to ask you two things.

01:33:28.020 First, I want to tell you that for me, we are blessed to have had Charlie, and we are so blessed to have you.

01:33:34.800 Thank you.

01:33:35.520 And that's just a full stop statement.

01:33:37.260 Thank you.

01:33:37.640 But I'm curious about your position on something.

01:33:40.160 I want to know what you think.

01:33:44.100 Oh, boy.

01:33:45.060 Here it comes.

01:33:47.480 Wait, wait, wait.

01:33:48.260 We lost you.

01:33:48.780 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:33:49.720 We lost you.

01:33:50.440 You said we lost you.

01:33:51.960 I want to hear what you think about what?

01:33:57.020 Buying votes.

01:33:58.000 We don't buy votes.

01:33:59.120 You can't claim that we are dealing with a corrupt election system and then corrupt the election system.

01:34:05.780 You're talking about the speech Trump gave last night.

01:34:10.240 I am.

01:34:11.040 Yeah, where he said, how did he say it exactly?

01:34:13.900 Do we have the clip?

01:34:15.280 Because I left before he finished his speech.

01:34:18.380 I had to be at another event.

01:34:20.960 So I had to leave before he finished.

01:34:22.540 And I missed this part, but I did read about it.

01:34:24.720 But I want to hear it itself.

01:34:25.700 Do we have the clip, Ricky?

01:34:27.700 I am looking, but if we don't, I don't think we do.

01:34:32.140 But he offered everyone a $5,000 Trump dividend if the GOP wins this November.

01:34:41.220 Yeah, that's a problem.

01:34:42.140 I would argue, though, he's not buying votes because there's a lot of people who aren't going to vote for him, and they would still get the money.

01:34:49.320 But he's offered to give us refunds, dividends before.

01:34:53.960 It's never happened.

01:34:54.800 I'm not that worried about it, but I understand why people are concerned.

01:34:59.100 I don't like the principle of it.

01:35:02.460 However, I didn't see it.

01:35:04.140 Did it feel like one of those things like, I just might give a dividend.

01:35:07.740 I might give a Trump.

01:35:08.480 What do you think?

01:35:08.960 Trump dividend, $5,000.

01:35:10.280 Was it like that?

01:35:11.200 It sounded like he put some thought into it.

01:35:13.960 Okay, that's a problem.

01:35:14.920 That's a problem.

01:35:16.000 I will tell you that we've had conversations where he has said,

01:35:21.920 communists, of course communists are going to win.

01:35:25.400 They offer you free everything.

01:35:26.940 And he said to me at one point, you realize what a great communist I would be?

01:35:31.300 I could give away free stuff.

01:35:32.920 We could do that.

01:35:33.780 We don't do it.

01:35:34.780 Our principles say we don't do it.

01:35:36.680 But I'd make a great, wouldn't you agree?

01:35:38.240 I'd make a great communist.

01:35:39.460 I could give it all away.

01:35:40.980 Yes, I do.

01:35:42.040 And he was joking at the time.

01:35:43.860 So I know he knows the principle.

01:35:45.520 I don't agree with that statement.

01:35:47.840 And I also, I mean, if we're making all this money that he says we're making, you know, on tariffs and everything else,

01:35:56.440 Put it towards the debt.

01:35:58.640 Please put it towards the debt.

01:36:00.320 And while you're at it, tell them to stop spending money.

01:36:04.180 Stop spending.

01:36:05.420 We're at a point of no return.

01:36:07.660 This has got to stop.

01:36:10.800 And we don't offer people free money.

01:36:13.620 So I hope that answers your question.

01:36:18.700 Yeah.

01:36:19.760 No.

01:36:20.440 No.

01:36:21.520 Sorry, no $5,000 for everybody.

01:36:23.740 It would be nice if we could do that.

01:36:25.180 It'd be nice if we believed that, wouldn't it?

01:36:27.920 I mean, giving a dividend and saying, and I think this is what I heard Vance say afterwards,

01:36:34.520 saying, okay, that's not what he meant exactly.

01:36:36.720 He means that we have all these things coming in.

01:36:39.340 Then you call that not a Trump dividend.

01:36:41.760 You call that tax relief.

01:36:44.780 You call that, we just had, I mean, I love the fact that we're making extra money.

01:36:51.760 good if we're making it on tariffs what are the point of what were the founding points of the

01:36:58.140 tariff the tariffs were to pay the taxes so the people didn't have to pay taxes so if we have

01:37:04.640 money and this is this is just another way of saying it the proper way look we have tariffs

01:37:10.140 so we can really reduce taxes so if we're a republican congress because the democrats won't

01:37:16.720 do this but i will get this done we're going to give everybody a share of the tariffs that are

01:37:22.940 coming in we're going to pay down the debt or whatever you're going to do and we're going to

01:37:27.380 take and give everybody a five thousand dollar pay cut and that's the democrats won't ever do

01:37:34.220 that but our tax cut we'll give everybody an additional five thousand dollar tax cut you could

01:37:39.600 say it that way and i don't necessarily have a problem with it but i don't like it when we start

01:37:44.220 to get into socialist kind of things like,

01:37:46.260 hey, and I'm going to give you a free gift.

01:37:49.220 No, no, no, thank you.

01:37:51.620 No, thank you.

01:37:52.480 All right, back in just a second.

01:37:57.820 APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799%

01:38:00.360 for well-qualified borrowers.

01:38:01.520 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:38:05.280 You know, every mortgage payment that you make

01:38:06.840 represents something.

01:38:08.820 Years of work, years of making the payment

01:38:11.240 when, you know, there were plenty of other places

01:38:13.240 that money could have gone. And over time, you have probably built a substantial equity in your

01:38:17.340 home. Meanwhile, the credit card debt can be sitting on the other side of the fence,

01:38:21.680 and that's charging you 20% interest or more. And that is, you're hemorrhaging money there.

01:38:26.540 And you know it. You know it. American financing helps homeowners explore whether using home

01:38:31.540 equity to consolidate high interest debt to lower their monthly obligations. And you don't have to

01:38:37.980 reset your mortgage, your low interest mortgage. And you can get that down to maybe a 5% instead

01:38:43.220 20%, 5%. Please, please do this before September. I just don't think, no matter what Donald Trump

01:38:51.080 says, I don't think that they're going to lower the interest rate. I think their interest rate's

01:38:55.880 going to go higher. With what happened with our bond sales in the last few days, it's not going

01:39:01.460 to get out of the high interest debt if you can and get it while you can get a 5% rate on this.

01:39:09.260 They're going to help you out. Just go to AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, 906-2440. That's an 800 number, 800-906-2440. It's AmericanFinancing.net. 10 seconds, station ID.

01:39:36.160 Let me go to Pam in Florida. Hello, Pam. 0.64

01:39:39.260 well hi glenn um i have been listening to you for over 25 years and you know we're the same age

01:39:46.960 and the same mindset and i just i really feel you with your sadness and your nostalgia

01:39:53.260 and that's really bad i hope i'm more than that but yes okay thank you um but i have a 20 year

01:40:02.600 old son. And I started taking him to the student summit in Tampa. And I saw Charlie Kirk emerge and

01:40:10.260 grow. And I could see it. I could see it. I could see the joy that he had for this country. I saw

01:40:19.120 young men and young women there filled with hope and excitement about the future.

01:40:25.000 It was palpable in those arenas. It was palpable. And here I'm, you know, I'm the old guy sitting

01:40:30.560 with another friend who's a parent in the back watching all of this and listening to his radio

01:40:36.220 show. But before the last summit, he was in the concourse and he was giving a talk about marriage

01:40:43.860 and encouraging young people to get married and telling young men what they're being told that's

01:40:50.620 wrong. And I just had this moment where I thought, I think there's hope for the future

01:40:57.560 if people will start talking about faith and family and love of country and integrity and

01:41:05.360 these character traits that we know to be so important. And so that's what I mourn today is

01:41:13.860 the joy and the hope that's lost for our young people to see that example and to see that maybe

01:41:22.100 there's another way of living and I just I pray that God will find another Charlie Kirk to speak

01:41:27.780 to our young people about those things because I really do fear for the future if we don't as

01:41:34.940 people our age start to mentor young people and find ways to to get the message out 100% and you

01:41:42.360 know we are Charlie but we need to be Charlie's voice for our young people too I agree with you

01:41:47.620 I'm glad you called in and said that because I agree with you.

01:41:53.940 And, you know, the one thing, you know, you said you saw Charlie's joy.

01:42:03.160 And I think that's the biggest difference between me and Charlie and others and Charlie is Charlie was always full of joy, no matter what was going on.

01:42:17.060 And I think that's connection to God, but it's also a little bit of the cloth you're cut from.

01:42:22.900 You know, I kind of grew up in a weird old family.

01:42:25.480 So, you know, he connected with joy all the time.

01:42:30.500 So he was, no matter what was going on, he was joyous.

01:42:34.540 And that is what's contagious.

01:42:36.280 You know, that's what Ronald Reagan had to.

01:42:38.420 And in some ways, that's what Donald Trump has.

01:42:40.820 You know, when you go see him and you're watching him live,

01:42:43.660 if you don't have Trump derangement syndrome, you don't have to like the guy.

01:42:47.060 But the guy just exudes fun and joy.

01:42:51.440 You know what I mean?

01:42:52.000 He's like, we're going to make it.

01:42:53.060 It's going to be great.

01:42:54.720 And there's just something about it.

01:42:57.880 And that is contagious.

01:43:00.800 But I tell you, I don't think, we shouldn't be looking for another Charlie Kirk.

01:43:06.820 I can't believe I'm saying this.

01:43:08.620 But I don't think that's the way God's going to work.

01:43:12.420 I think he wants all of us to do it.

01:43:14.680 I think he wants all of us to do it.

01:43:16.700 I don't think we shouldn't be praying for another Charlie Kirk.

01:43:20.360 I agree with you what you said at the end.

01:43:22.580 We need to be building them in our own children, all of our children.

01:43:28.140 We should be trying to build that into them, not so they go out and they sit at a table and do what Charlie did,

01:43:35.960 just because they will affect more people in their life than most of us clowns on podcasting have ever done.

01:43:46.700 Just because if they are full of joy, they're full of truth,

01:43:50.700 Pete, that's infectious, and people want to know what made you that way.

01:43:55.600 And that's much better than preaching it.

01:43:58.000 Let me go to Grace in New York.

01:43:59.420 Hello, Grace.

01:44:01.900 Hello.

01:44:02.880 Hi.

01:44:05.000 Glenn.

01:44:05.760 Yes.

01:44:06.180 It has been a long 20 years.

01:44:08.660 You signed my mom's pottery when I was a child.

01:44:12.360 Signed your mom's pottery?

01:44:13.560 I grew up, yes, in Rochester, New York.

01:44:16.700 york wow we signed with one of my mom's bowls i have a picture of you and my mom on the fridge

01:44:21.340 i have grown up listening to you hearing you you and sue the tippers brownies was an inside joke

01:44:29.760 my whole family for so damn long i'm sorry i'm not as uh that's all right delicate with my words

01:44:35.380 as ab from earlier she was wonderful yeah a year ago today i was pregnant with my first son

01:44:42.180 And I was terrified to give birth to a boy, the way things are today against men.

01:44:49.260 When Charlie Kirk died, it was so horrifying because I agreed with him.

01:44:53.880 I agreed with Charlie Kirk. 0.94

01:44:54.900 So do I deserve to die?

01:44:56.840 When my son grows up, is he going to have to face this?

01:45:03.680 You and Charlie have brought me and my family so close to God.

01:45:07.320 and you've made me proud of who I am and my views

01:45:12.460 in a time when it's really scary to be proud of that.

01:45:19.260 I will tell you, I have a son,

01:45:22.700 and I was terrified to have a son

01:45:24.740 because I don't know how to be a dad.

01:45:27.200 And, you know, my dad, we never went fishing

01:45:31.000 or, you know, things that dads are supposed to do with their sons.

01:45:34.280 but it's been one of the greatest joys and I still worry about him he's terrified to

01:45:41.040 he's terrified to talk to women terrified because of the way men are treated the way

01:45:47.840 you know he's like dad I you know he said to me I was walking down the hall I saw this beautiful

01:45:53.320 girl at school and I and we made eye contact and she smiled at me and I smiled at her and I just

01:45:57.880 wanted to stop and say hi what's your name he's like I just stopped and I turned around and walked

01:46:01.980 the other way. And I went, why? And he said, dad, you don't know what it's like. Am I going to end

01:46:06.660 up on her, on her, you know, on her, you know, tick tock being made fun of because I was, you

01:46:13.620 know, creepy. Cause I talked to her in the hall or whatever. He's like, it's just a different world

01:46:18.540 that has to end. That has to end. Um, and, um, we just have to give our boys strength and courage

01:46:28.640 to endure this while this insanity is going on, but it will fail. It always fails. It will fail.

01:46:38.440 Hopefully, we don't have to wait for a spectacular failure like so many generations have had to go

01:46:44.820 through in the past. Hopefully, we'll just kind of sober up and go, wow, that was a weird time,

01:46:49.780 huh? Glad we're past that, but I pray for you. Pray for your son, and you're right about our

01:46:56.420 boys pray for our boys and mentor boys as much as you can as much as you can they need good

01:47:03.200 examples in front of them all right back with more phone calls and more on the convention when we come

01:47:11.040 back you know dogs never get to make the big decisions about their life you know have you

01:47:20.680 ever said your dog down went we're thinking about moving what do you what do you think no he doesn't

01:47:24.960 even decide what he eats doesn't decide when it's time for a checkup in fact it was up to our dogs

01:47:30.260 they would never go to checkup and when they start slowing down you can't sit down and say

01:47:34.160 what's bothering you what hurts that part is up to you you notice that he's not moving the way he

01:47:40.060 used to maybe he's taking the stairs a little longer um maybe you know maybe he's less eager

01:47:45.700 to get up oh it was killing me when uno was like that and you just saw him you saw you could see

01:47:50.140 he wanted to get up and he was like but i'm not gonna get up it's just hurts too much this is

01:47:54.700 why the people behind Relief Factor

01:47:56.720 created Friend Factor because they have

01:47:58.680 dogs too and they know it. They see the pain

01:48:33.100 of Charlie Kirk on the anniversary of his death. Watch his tribute live at 8.30 p.m. Eastern at

01:48:37.980 glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:48:52.640 welcome to the uh the program um there's a couple of things there is the at glennbeck.com

01:49:02.560 today there is a tape that we just found because we were going back and looking at some archives

01:49:08.420 and we just found the show that we were going to record for the day that charlie died and i was

01:49:17.580 recording it early in the afternoon or in the morning actually um which we usually never did

01:49:22.660 and for some reason we did we never record you know prior to the show we just say okay let's go

01:49:29.600 and then they start rolling tape and then we go um this time for some reason and i think it's because

01:49:35.540 we were probably 20 seconds away from from air or from recording um that they were when they

01:49:44.200 were counting it down they were recording and then I saw my wife on the outside of the studio door

01:49:49.520 and I said hold on just a second and it's when I found out about Charlie and when Ricky first

01:49:56.400 found out about Charlie and and it's weird it's a weird tape um and I've learned I found some

01:50:04.100 things about me and I'm like oh that just seems weird um and Ricky felt the same way about her

01:50:10.160 And it just, we were in a, we were in a broadcast mode.

01:50:15.400 We hear this.

01:50:16.440 We don't know what we don't know.

01:50:18.980 We know when you think somebody has been shot, you don't necessarily think shot and killed.

01:50:23.080 And somebody was being rushed to the hospital.

01:50:25.380 We didn't even know it was Charlie at the time.

01:50:27.680 And then, and then we find out that, no, it's Charlie and he has been shot and it's bad.

01:50:33.520 And we see my wife, cause she's in on the phone with my daughter, who's there in the crowd trying to get out.

01:50:40.160 Anyway, it's nine minutes of remarkable tape.

01:50:43.060 We didn't even know it existed.

01:50:44.500 It's never been seen before.

01:50:46.680 It was just seen by me this morning, and it's at glennbeck.com if you want to see that.

01:50:52.400 We have a great show for you on tomorrow's broadcast,

01:50:56.340 and I want to talk to you about 9-11, the 25th anniversary of 9-11.

01:51:01.500 I have a few things to dish out on that one tomorrow that you don't want to miss.

01:51:10.160 But I do want to spend some time because I went to the Republican convention last night.

01:51:17.200 And there's a couple of things that I really want to mention from Trump's speech.

01:51:24.280 Do you have a list of everything he has?

01:51:25.820 Let me see if I can put them in order.

01:51:27.120 Can I just see that list real quick?

01:51:30.440 So, okay, so let's say down here.

01:51:32.480 OK, so. The first thing the president said that I want to give you three things, first thing the president said that I noticed was he said at one point, you know, when this country really starts to roar, maybe five or 10 years from now.

01:51:52.740 okay so that's verification of everything i've been telling you he's working long term he's

01:52:00.480 fixing the plumbing and the electricity and everything he's taking the house and he's

01:52:05.740 well everybody's like yeah you know this this wallpaper is bad and you know we our kitchen

01:52:11.300 table is broken he's like no we got to repoint the entire foundation of the house or nobody's

01:52:16.960 going to care about the wallpaper or the i got to fix the foundation so he's fixing the foundation

01:52:21.560 That's why he said in five to ten years.

01:52:23.480 But what he said was when it's roaring in five to ten years, try to remember.

01:52:29.040 Now, what would Trump normally say?

01:52:30.940 I was the one who did it.

01:52:33.560 He said that I was the guy who started it, meaning it's not just him alone, which I know that's little.

01:52:42.840 But to me, I watch for moments of who he really is.

01:52:46.220 and let me show you the next thing, because these kind of all build on each other.

01:52:52.460 He thanks John Cornyn. Listen to this. Cut 11.

01:52:56.980 Ted Cruz worked very hard on the wall, and so did John Cornyn.

01:53:02.500 So did John Cornyn. They both did. Both senators.

01:53:08.480 We had a lot of support, but without the wall, you know, we built this massive, beautiful, great wall.

01:53:13.240 beautiful because it works we could never have the numbers that we have which is right now

01:53:16.840 think of it and these are made up by democrats the people that do these statistics zero illegal

01:53:23.360 aliens have entered our country from the southern border in the last 15 months zero

01:53:29.980 so what did he just do he was being gracious everything that he has everything that the

01:53:38.740 press has been saying about him he doesn't care he doesn't care if the republicans win first of

01:53:44.680 all the guy does not need to be out stumping for the republicans who have really done nothing for

01:53:51.140 him okay he doesn't need to be out there stumping for him he knows i gotta have at least a wall

01:53:58.460 so we're not we're not dealing with all the other nonsense that will i need two more years i gotta

01:54:04.120 to have these guys. And when everybody says he doesn't care, the first thing he does is he goes

01:54:08.860 on the road and he, odds are, odds are this is not going to work out well for the Republicans

01:54:14.880 because they've just blown all of their opportunities to do so much. And so he comes

01:54:20.560 in at the last minute and is like, I'm going to get, I'm going to be there. I don't care how many

01:54:23.860 times I'm going to keep going and I'm going to campaign for him. So the entire thing will be,

01:54:29.400 This is the way the media will spin it. Trump's failure. Trump couldn't get it done. Trump's grasp on the American people. His magic is over. Whatever. They'll blame the losses on him. And he's taking that on voluntarily because he knows it's important for the country. Not for him, for the country.

01:54:54.660 So he's taking that on.

01:54:56.080 And then he's doing the opposite of what the media has said.

01:54:59.400 Oh, you know, he hates John Cornyn.

01:55:01.580 He might, but he didn't need to be gracious there.

01:55:04.080 John Cornyn is a non-entity.

01:55:05.820 He's done.

01:55:07.060 He didn't need to thank him.

01:55:09.060 And then he does something political again.

01:55:14.000 This one is remarkable because he knows this is not going to be popular.

01:55:21.900 Listen to Cut 12.

01:55:24.000 and John Thune is here from the Senate where's John where's John no no John is

01:55:30.820 John is working hard he's got great opposition he's got great opposition from the Democrat

01:55:39.740 Schumer and these guys they're terrible got great opposition he's working very hard he's gonna

01:55:44.720 he's gonna have he's gonna have great success you watch gonna have we are going to have great

01:55:50.420 Great success with our Republican senators.

01:55:54.260 I have never seen Trump lose a room.

01:55:57.880 Never.

01:55:58.720 Not once.

01:56:00.120 Even when he said the $5,000, which I think most Republicans are like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:56:05.440 I don't want any of that.

01:56:06.920 Even when he says something like that, people will generally go, okay, yeah, yeah.

01:56:10.780 And they're just in the spirit.

01:56:12.440 I've never seen him lose a room.

01:56:13.860 When he said John Cornyn, it was polite applause.

01:56:16.540 but I thought and I think everybody thought that's really gracious what is he doing there

01:56:21.540 what he's doing there is guys I need this guy I'm going to be gracious I'm going to say no no no

01:56:30.840 I look he's going to be better he's going to do great things in the future I don't know if that's

01:56:36.680 a winning strategy with John Thune but again that's something that all the people in the press

01:56:42.300 said he'd never ever do one one other thing and this is the biggest if i could sit with the

01:56:51.260 president today and sit with his speechwriters this is what i would say stop saying this cut 13

01:56:58.860 we have more money being spent from outside countries and companies over 20 trillion dollars

01:57:09.760 That's five, six, seven times higher than any country, not just here, any country ever.

01:57:16.760 20 over 20.

01:57:18.440 Notice there's no applause.

01:57:19.220 Remember, I've been saying 19.2, but now it's over 20 for less than two years, substantially less than two years.

01:57:27.740 When the two-year number comes out, that number could be $25 trillion being invested here.

01:57:34.000 The record, by the way.

01:57:35.380 now that's just pavlov response i think that's just pavlov that's like yeah yeah that's great

01:57:43.780 you know why you know why he needs to stop saying he doesn't need to stop this point

01:57:48.200 he needs to stop saying it like this this is what he needs to say you know i've been talking about

01:57:57.040 19 20 trillion dollars being invested let me tell you what that means that money is coming in from

01:58:03.760 foreign companies and foreign countries investing. And how are they investing? They're building

01:58:09.420 factories. This is a nation that is going to build cars again, in our own factories again.

01:58:17.940 We're going to start making things again. We are, that $20 trillion is the job for your son,

01:58:25.000 or if you're just getting into college, that factory will be open and we'll be taking

01:58:29.640 applications we are building america's strength again we're going to be builders again stop with

01:58:38.040 the 20 trillion who cares i mean it is so impressive and i understand why he's saying it

01:58:43.080 but he's giving the american people and i don't mean it this way but i kind of do he's giving them

01:58:50.240 the he's giving them too much credit they don't they don't understand he thinks of things like

01:58:57.740 business. The average person is not thinking about, well, what is, they're thinking, where's

01:59:02.280 that money going? It's not going to me. I don't even know where that money is going. What does

01:59:05.460 it mean you're invited? It's like when he said last night, do you know, we've set 80 and I,

01:59:10.220 I rolled my eyes and then he saved it. He's like, you know, we've set 80 records on the stock

01:59:16.200 market, 80 or 90. We've broken 80 or 90 times this year. We've broken records in the stock

01:59:21.940 market. And I'm like, nobody cares about the stock market. That sounds like rich people are

01:59:26.800 getting richer, okay? And then he said the right thing, which means to the average American,

01:59:35.680 your 401k has gained, the average 401k for the average American is up $50,000 in value.

01:59:46.360 You've made in one year $50,000 in your 401k.

01:59:51.760 now i understand it now i understand why the stock market is important people don't think

02:00:00.320 of themselves as investing in the stock market they think rich people are but most people just

02:00:05.440 through the 401k almost everybody is invested in the stock market so when it does go up but you

02:00:11.600 have to tell people that when you say we're investing you have to tell them what are they

02:00:17.040 investing in and why does that matter they're building factories okay can you be more specific

02:00:22.920 yes we're going to start building things because we're not going to be reliant on everybody else

02:00:27.700 and what do those factories need after a building after the investment people they're going to be

02:00:35.460 hiring thousands and thousands of americans you'd even throw in good union jobs i mean

02:00:45.280 he's looking at it

02:00:49.040 from 40,000 feet

02:00:50.600 and I think everybody

02:00:52.520 and it's got to be hard

02:00:53.700 everybody in his world

02:00:55.600 you know

02:00:56.740 is like a besant

02:00:58.000 and they know exactly 0.97

02:00:59.520 what that means

02:01:00.140 the average person doesn't

02:01:01.500 he's always been so good

02:01:05.800 at talking to the average person

02:01:07.240 I watched him last night

02:01:09.880 and I thought

02:01:11.180 he's not necessarily he's trying to talk to the average person

02:01:18.900 but he's not using the language the average person understands or relates to

02:01:24.700 and yet at the same time i think everybody in that room walked away liking him he's if you don't

02:01:34.560 hate his guts if you understand the guy is funny i walked out the guy standing next to me he's like

02:01:39.140 The guy's a comedian.

02:01:41.660 That is a really, he just did a really hard comedic routine off the cuff, and he does.

02:01:49.580 He walked out of that room going, I love that guy.

02:01:52.080 I love that guy.

02:01:53.100 I mean, I'd even disagree with him strongly on a few things, but I love that guy.

02:02:00.800 That's the takeaway.

02:02:02.460 The question I was left with is, is this going to mean enough?

02:02:06.460 is this going to mean enough

02:02:09.720 if people

02:02:11.900 understand when he said

02:02:13.680 I want you to consider that I'm

02:02:15.780 on the ballot

02:02:16.540 if people understand that

02:02:19.840 because it really he really is

02:02:21.660 it's over we lose

02:02:23.800 the Congress and the Senate

02:02:25.160 we lose the Congress and it's going to be trouble

02:02:27.600 but we lose the Congress and the Senate

02:02:29.640 which could very well happen

02:02:31.360 because we didn't go out

02:02:33.800 you lose him

02:02:36.320 He's going to do nothing but defend himself.

02:02:39.180 He's going to be on defense the entire time.

02:02:46.580 And all of the hard work that he's put in for two years is going to be gone.

02:02:51.200 So, yeah, consider he's on the ballot.

02:02:53.040 Because he actually is.

02:02:55.080 Back in a minute.

02:02:57.200 It's easy for a company to put the right words on a website.

02:03:00.040 You know, faith, family, freedom.

02:03:01.860 Those words don't cost anything.

02:03:03.840 The question is, what happens when those beliefs actually require something from you?

02:03:09.020 Patriot Mobile puts real money behind them and real effort, their own hours.

02:03:14.480 You know, they're volunteering.

02:03:16.040 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

02:03:19.320 They have donated millions of dollars to organizations that are fighting for the values that so many other corporations have decided they can either ignore or actually actively work against.

02:03:29.800 You have to have a cell phone company, right?

02:03:31.700 You're going to have to have that service.

02:03:33.260 Why don't you find somebody that you're sending a payment to

02:03:35.700 that actually believes in the same things that you do

02:03:37.840 and is working with the same goals that you have?

02:03:40.900 Patriot Mobile will give you the choice to send it to a company

02:03:43.180 that is actually putting the resources behind the things it claims to believe

02:04:31.300 I gotta tell you, we're having an argument here

02:04:38.720 about what happened at the convention last night

02:04:40.540 with Anna Paulina Luna

02:04:41.540 and she's walking on stage

02:04:45.140 and the speaker before

02:04:46.580 It was HUD Secretary Scott Turner

02:04:51.040 Yeah, former NFL player

02:05:00.880 He catches himself.

02:05:02.180 He's like, whoa, don't do that.

02:05:04.720 And so we were arguing about this.

02:05:07.380 Look, he's, and I say this as somebody who doesn't watch sports at all.

02:05:13.100 And because I don't watch sports, and women who don't watch sports, other guys who don't watch sports, you're going to be with me on this. 0.95

02:05:24.980 They're constantly slapping each other on the butt. 0.97

02:05:28.180 I don't get it, but that's what they do. 0.98

02:05:30.420 it's the culture so he's walking out and he's doing the thing he always does to all guys i'm 0.99
