The Glenn Beck Program - Thank God for 'Good Samaritans' with Concealed Carry ｜ Guest： Megan Fox & Todd Wagner

00:00:00.000 I want to talk to you a little bit about Grip6 socks.

00:00:02.500 Grip6 socks are really, really good.

00:00:06.540 They're very, very cool.

00:00:08.080 I haven't put on my socks yet this morning, but I got them right here, my Grip6 socks.

00:00:14.980 It is 100 degrees up here at the ranch.

00:00:18.760 Really hot yesterday.

00:00:20.900 Wearing my socks, kept my feet cool.

00:00:23.900 Really, really great.

00:00:25.900 They're made out of wool, which is counterintuitive.

00:00:30.000 But the way they weave them is such a way where it'll keep you cool in the summer and keep your feet warm in the winter.

00:00:37.860 It is really, really worth your time.

00:00:40.440 Just try a pair.

00:00:41.620 Grip6.com slash Beck.

00:00:44.180 Put your trust and hard-earned money in a company that does it right and does it here in America.

00:00:49.840 It's Grip6.com slash Beck.

00:00:53.420 Grip6.com slash Beck.

00:00:56.480 We begin in just a minute.

00:01:00.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:09.860 We'll be right back.

00:01:18.300 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:01:22.080 Got no room to compromise.

00:01:27.340 We gotta stand together, it's gonna survive.

00:01:33.240 Stand up straight and hold the light.

00:01:38.600 It's a new day and time to rise.

00:01:42.140 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:50.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:56.900 Oh, my gosh.

00:01:58.240 It is so good to be here Friday because I am so proud of our country.

00:02:02.160 I mean, I look at the messages we're sending, you know, with the with the president going to Saudi Arabia and saying,

00:02:10.580 please help us, please help us.

00:02:14.180 I'm so proud of that.

00:02:16.040 But, you know, I don't think I could have ever been or have ever been this proud of my nation than when I saw the pictures of Dr.

00:02:27.960 Rachel Levine wearing her admiral's uniform and Sam Britton, who, you know, is in charge of all of our nuclear waste,

00:02:38.380 wearing a blue floral pattern dress with a sweetheart neckline, blazer and blue strappy heels.

00:02:47.460 It was magnificent.

00:02:49.960 Now, because we were celebrating their Bastille Day and those two went to the celebration at the foreign embassy,

00:02:59.660 I would hope, now this is just me, but if the French, thus at all, I'd like to see President Macron come over dressed as the Statue of Liberty.

00:03:13.440 But this time, not in those drapes, but in something low cut and lacy, because that's the way to celebrate our Independence Day.

00:03:23.540 More in just a second.

00:03:28.680 Oh, we're insane.

00:03:31.140 We have gone absolutely insane.

00:03:34.160 Judy wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:03:36.920 She says,

00:03:37.260 I'm still taking it every day and you better believe me.

00:04:03.000 I'm singing its praises.

00:04:05.040 Judy, I am so glad to hear this.

00:04:07.300 You don't have to have, you know, narcotics to be able to handle the pain.

00:04:11.520 In fact, I did the same thing Judy did.

00:04:14.140 I thought, well, my pain's getting better, but it's just, it's not this.

00:04:18.180 Because you don't feel it in your system at all.

00:04:20.560 And lo and behold, I did the same thing.

00:04:23.320 Judy, same results.

00:04:24.720 My pain came roaring back and I take it three times a day as well.

00:04:29.140 Three week quick start developed for you.

00:04:30.780 1995, go to ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:38.120 We welcome now to the program, Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, who's filling in for Stu, our executive producer.

00:04:47.320 How are you, Pat?

00:04:48.200 Oh, perfect.

00:04:49.720 Perfect.

00:04:50.460 And you?

00:04:51.020 Are you?

00:04:51.500 Yeah.

00:04:52.040 Can we bring that picture?

00:04:53.100 Oh, fantastic.

00:04:54.100 Can we bring that picture up again?

00:04:55.720 Sam Britton, he's wearing a blue floral pattern dress and a sweetheart neckline.

00:05:02.080 Beautiful.

00:05:02.800 I think it looks.

00:05:03.860 Absolutely beautiful.

00:05:04.860 I think it looks, yes, captivating.

00:05:08.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:08.980 I mean, they both look scrumptious, don't they?

00:05:11.980 They just, but they both look scrumptious right there.

00:05:15.280 No, they do.

00:05:16.640 They really, truly gorgeous, gorgeous ladies.

00:05:19.900 You know what it reminds me of, Pat, is our trip a couple of decades ago to Ivana Trump's

00:05:31.080 dress store.

00:05:32.820 Yeah.

00:05:33.620 Yeah, is that what it reminds you of?

00:05:35.020 I don't even know.

00:05:35.640 It's more, it's almost three decades ago, 30 years ago.

00:05:39.360 Yes, it was.

00:05:39.900 Pat and I, by the way, Ivanka, Ivanka, no, Ivana.

00:05:43.960 Ivana.

00:05:44.500 Which is the mom.

00:05:45.680 Ivana.

00:05:46.720 She passed away.

00:05:48.060 Yeah, really sad.

00:05:49.920 Weekend.

00:05:50.800 Apparently fell down the stairs.

00:05:54.260 Oh, my God.

00:05:55.300 Yeah.

00:05:56.100 Yeah, really sad.

00:05:58.000 She apparently, I think she had some hip problems, but yeah, but that doesn't have anything to

00:06:02.220 do with her dress shop that we frequented.

00:06:04.800 No, it has nothing to do with her dress shop.

00:06:06.500 Should we tell this story?

00:06:08.520 I'm a little hesitant, actually.

00:06:11.540 Are you?

00:06:11.880 Just a tad hesitant.

00:06:13.160 Well, yeah, because it's a completely different world than it was 30 years ago.

00:06:17.800 I know.

00:06:18.540 You can't possibly do this now.

00:06:20.500 30 years, I'm going to tell it, because I don't give a flying crap, because it's funny.

00:06:24.320 Pat and I, 30 years ago, I learned something from Penn Jillette.

00:06:31.600 We were backstage one day, and he said, do you know where my microphone is?

00:06:35.020 And I'm like, no, I don't know.

00:06:36.980 He's like, find it.

00:06:38.580 Where's my microphone?

00:06:39.540 And we were just talking behind the curtain before the show starts, and it was a weird

00:06:43.960 conversation.

00:06:44.700 It went from like the Nobel Prize winning scientist that year to where's my microphone?

00:06:50.980 So I played Waldo.

00:06:52.360 Where's Waldo for a while with him?

00:06:54.400 And he said, they're seed microphones.

00:06:56.220 And this was brand new technology, seed microphones.

00:07:00.120 And he said, I've replaced the screws in my glasses with microphones.

00:07:04.720 So wherever I look, the mic is picking it up, and he would run the cord down his back through

00:07:13.040 his ponytail.

00:07:13.640 And at that time, I had a ponytail.

00:07:16.160 I was drinking heavily.

00:07:17.560 I was heavily on the sauce.

00:07:18.940 And so I said, this is fantastic.

00:07:24.920 I got back, and I said, Pat, we've got to get some seed microphones.

00:07:28.940 So we went to this really shady place.

00:07:32.600 It was in the Empire State Building.

00:07:35.180 And we got these microphones, and I had them made into the glasses.

00:07:38.760 And then we decided to just do fun things that were stupid out in the public.

00:07:47.460 So one of them was, we decided.

00:07:49.660 And it was something that wasn't as prevalent then as it is now.

00:07:54.760 You know, if two guys went into a shop.

00:07:57.260 Not even.

00:07:57.960 Yeah, if two guys went into a shop at Ivana's shop for a dress, nobody had bat an eyelash at it now.

00:08:05.740 Today.

00:08:06.300 Yeah.

00:08:06.580 You could go to Macy's, and a guy could try on a dress, and nobody's going to say anything.

00:08:13.240 Yeah.

00:08:13.540 Back then, 30 years ago, you didn't do that.

00:08:17.800 Right.

00:08:18.560 And the reason why we picked Ivana's dress shop is because it was so snotty.

00:08:24.840 Our guess was that two guys could walk in and say, we want to try on dresses.

00:08:31.980 And they would just do it.

00:08:33.660 They'd go along, because they just wanted to sell.

00:08:35.500 These were like $25,000 gowns.

00:08:37.860 And so we just thought, they are so greedy, they absolutely won't say anything.

00:08:45.020 And we even said, I'll bet you she says how good-looking it is.

00:08:50.620 So we went in, and Pat was the one trying on the dress.

00:08:56.260 And I'm not sure, up until the end, I'm not sure that that was the harder part, because I had to sit with the salesperson while he was changing and after he was changing.

00:09:07.220 And so he picks out this beautiful blue number and very low cut.

00:09:14.220 Now, I wouldn't say that Pat is a gorilla, but he does have a lot of chest hair.

00:09:25.180 And we were both, what, in our 30s or late 20s at that point.

00:09:29.860 So it wasn't gray.

00:09:31.280 It was bright, bright red.

00:09:32.700 He has red hair.

00:09:33.720 And so he tries on this blue, and he comes out of the dressing room, and it is shocking how bad he looks as a woman.

00:09:46.140 I mean, shockingly bad.

00:09:50.920 Especially, well, he gets up on the, and she says, oh my gosh, that is stunning.

00:09:58.200 Exactly what I thought she'd say.

00:09:59.760 That is stunning.

00:10:02.260 And Pat said, I don't know.

00:10:05.080 Does it make me look fat?

00:10:09.240 No, it's so slimming on you.

00:10:11.820 And does it clash with my beard?

00:10:14.740 Yes.

00:10:16.680 He's like, he stands in front of the mirror for a while, and he's got his chest hair just blazing red against this blue, and his white, white skin.

00:10:27.120 And obviously, it doesn't fit at all in the chest area.

00:10:30.600 And he stands there for a while with his hand kind of, you know, on his chest, like, thinking deep thoughts.

00:10:38.160 And I can't imagine what he's doing.

00:10:40.360 I'm trying everything I can not to laugh.

00:10:42.800 Because she keeps going, I think this is wonderful.

00:10:47.420 And Pat, are you telling me the truth?

00:10:50.180 She's like, ask him.

00:10:54.320 Ask him.

00:10:55.000 He looks at me.

00:10:55.740 And I said, oh, yeah, I think that one works.

00:10:59.940 That's really nice.

00:11:01.340 And Pat says, I don't know.

00:11:03.940 Does it clash with my chest and beard hair?

00:11:14.060 She jumped in immediately.

00:11:16.400 No, not at all.

00:11:19.040 I couldn't take it.

00:11:20.380 I had to leave.

00:11:21.120 I could not.

00:11:25.540 And I think you said that I was, I had teared up, but was just so emotionally moved by it.

00:11:34.960 But I left Pat alone to take the dress and say, we'll have to think about it and come back later.

00:11:42.160 That's a bit you don't do today.

00:11:45.240 No.

00:11:45.780 Because it wouldn't be shocking.

00:11:47.480 Right.

00:11:48.020 It wouldn't be shocking.

00:11:49.500 Well, we have two administration officials who are doing it at state affairs.

00:11:57.320 At ambassadors.

00:11:58.660 Yeah.

00:11:59.100 Yeah.

00:11:59.740 Okay.

00:12:00.080 So do you remember John Adams, the miniseries John Adams?

00:12:05.100 Yeah.

00:12:06.860 Okay.

00:12:07.340 Do you remember the scene where he went over to France?

00:12:10.160 And he is sitting at the table and they're all where all the guys and everybody's wearing makeup and wigs and they look ridiculous.

00:12:17.780 Yeah.

00:12:17.880 And they've got the white face thing.

00:12:19.660 And yeah.

00:12:20.780 Yeah.

00:12:21.100 Yeah.

00:12:21.500 Yeah.

00:12:21.640 Yeah.

00:12:22.020 And they're just ridiculous looking.

00:12:25.760 And John Adams is sitting there in normal clothes, you know, relative poor man and just, you know, normal.

00:12:34.380 And they, they ask him, have you seen the ballet?

00:12:36.920 And he says, no, no, I haven't.

00:12:40.160 I haven't had time.

00:12:40.880 My country is at war.

00:12:42.740 I study politics and war.

00:12:44.840 So my sons have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

00:12:48.920 My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy and geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting and poetry and music and architecture.

00:13:04.640 So, no, I haven't been to the ballet.

00:13:08.440 Um, they found this shocking.

00:13:12.940 Um, and I remember sitting there thinking, what must have John Adams thought when he went to that court?

00:13:21.440 Seeing how ridiculous these people were and how out of touch with reality, not that they were dressing up.

00:13:31.120 And it was that they, this was their world.

00:13:34.120 This was the most important thing to them is how they looked, how they talked, who was in court, all of this stuff.

00:13:42.300 And they looked and acted ridiculous.

00:13:44.660 And then I wondered, have we ever looked like that?

00:13:51.760 And until this moment, I think the answer has been no.

00:13:56.520 I mean, we've made some bad gaffes.

00:13:59.480 We've had, you know, we've, we've had George Bush throw up on a prime minister.

00:14:04.560 Um, so we've, we've had some bad things happen, but at a time when Europe is having record inflation, when they are on the eve of possible war, because Russia is, uh, cutting off the gas.

00:14:22.280 Because Germany is in full-fledged panic.

00:14:26.240 There are riots in the streets.

00:14:28.740 There are farmers taking to the streets in France, in the Netherlands, uh, in Germany, in Spain, because of the food shortages.

00:14:41.180 And we send two, I gotta be honest with you, two guys, two guys, and they dress up.

00:14:50.540 One looks like, I don't know, uh, uh, an old lady from the 1950s in an admiral's uniform.

00:15:01.900 And the other, a bald dude who doesn't claim to be a woman.

00:15:07.120 He claims neither.

00:15:08.920 And I can just be whoever I want and wear whatever I want.

00:15:13.100 Yeah, you know, you can.

00:15:14.740 But you represent the United States of America.

00:15:17.660 America, what are we doing?

00:15:22.840 How ridiculous do we look?

00:15:27.220 And any conservative, any conservative nation, and by the way, France is more conservative than we are.

00:15:35.700 Macron has come out and said to the people, do not drink any of the poison that is coming from America now.

00:15:42.100 They're making fun of us because we're too crazy.

00:15:47.180 The French, we're too crazy for the French.

00:15:51.020 By the way, you think it's so extraordinary that, uh, uh, um, what was it?

00:15:58.520 Uh, Mississippi wanted 15 weeks for abortion.

00:16:01.760 That's still more than France.

00:16:06.240 France has 12 weeks as they're cut off.

00:16:12.840 We are, we're not even studying painting and poetry and music and tapestry and porcelain.

00:16:21.660 We're not even studying that.

00:16:23.380 We're just gorging on ourselves on nonsense and whatever makes us feel good.

00:16:33.980 America should be ashamed of itself.

00:16:37.100 And I think many of us are.

00:16:39.560 And, and we're not just ashamed for the mistakes that we've made in the past.

00:16:45.240 We're ashamed for what we're now pushing and, and, uh, beating our chest out.

00:16:56.200 We are nuts.

00:16:58.280 We're nuts.

00:16:59.680 And it's time that we start saying that.

00:17:02.080 By the way, uh, the, um, uh, Sam Britton, who is the, uh, let's see, he's, uh, he's in charge.

00:17:13.640 I don't know his title, but he's in charge of all of our nuclear waste.

00:17:17.060 That is a top secret position.

00:17:19.520 It had to have clearance.

00:17:21.380 Do you know how he got his job?

00:17:24.820 Uh, there's, there's some people, um, in the department of energy that really spoke out and said,

00:17:30.720 uh, this isn't good.

00:17:32.040 I'll tell you that coming up in just a second.

00:17:35.940 First, our sponsor this half hour is the Tuttle Twins books.

00:17:39.820 There are things in life that are nice to have.

00:17:42.540 And then there are things that you have to have.

00:17:45.820 And knowing the difference between the two is really part of the battle.

00:17:50.120 I always hated it when I'd say I'd starving.

00:17:52.040 And my mom would say, no, you're not.

00:17:53.880 There are people in China that are starving.

00:17:56.500 Oh, but it's true.

00:17:59.100 We, we, uh, we throw words around and we, we're just different as, as people.

00:18:05.140 And there are wants, not needs.

00:18:09.220 And, uh, one of the need that we have and something we have to have is true history.

00:18:16.920 We have to teach our children history.

00:18:20.420 We have to teach them what made this country that they live in.

00:18:24.380 If there is any hope at all, it lies in the awareness on the part of good young men and women of who we are and what we're trying to do.

00:18:34.020 There's a 240 page fully illustrated book now from the Tuttle Twins.

00:18:38.700 And it teaches the inspiring stories of our country's past.

00:18:42.160 This makes learning history really fun.

00:18:44.920 It's not about memorizing names and dates.

00:18:48.220 It's about why, why, how did this idea come to be and why, what makes this idea better than that idea?

00:18:59.000 And what were the arguments on all side?

00:19:01.860 But it is written in such a way that your kids will enjoy it.

00:19:05.840 It's an amazing book and they have a great book launch deal.

00:19:09.740 They're throwing in 200 pages of companion curriculum and activities.

00:19:13.700 Also, they have an audio version of the book, videos to help lessons from the book come alive.

00:19:19.540 It's TuttleTwinsBeck.com, America's history.

00:19:24.000 Help them on their book launch this week, TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:19:28.280 You can even preview a free sample chapter so you can see for yourself why this is needed

00:19:33.140 and why I think this is so critical for all of us to have in our home.

00:19:38.760 TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

00:19:40.280 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:19:43.700 All right, so the guy that, Sam Britton, the guy that went over to the embassy for Bastille Day

00:19:59.340 and celebrated in a snappy low-cut number wearing a blue dress and beautiful blue high heels,

00:20:07.220 he is a guy who has been a LGBT activist for a long time.

00:20:16.100 He is a drag queen.

00:20:18.100 He does not consider himself in drag in this picture.

00:20:21.000 He believes he's non-binary so he can wear whatever he chooses, whatever he feels like.

00:20:26.820 But he has had a past of being a drag queen.

00:20:29.460 He has also been a defender of underage gay prostitution sites.

00:20:35.820 This guy is not without controversy or decency, let's say.

00:20:43.900 He's now earning a salary that puts him in the top 1% of all government employees,

00:20:49.760 and he has the top-secret Q clearance.

00:20:54.960 That's what the nuclear clearance is.

00:20:58.680 The top is Q, and it is top-secret national security information access clearance.

00:21:06.080 Okay, so he has all the secrets.

00:21:07.480 Now, how did he become the head of our nuclear waste?

00:21:18.440 I mean, again, drag queen, LGBTQ plus activist, lectured on kink at college campuses,

00:21:27.280 participated in interviews about fetish role play.

00:21:31.360 I get that.

00:21:33.100 How did he get this job?

00:21:35.160 Apparently, he was on a list of must-haves by the Biden administration,

00:21:42.100 and the Biden administration pushed and pushed and pushed for his being put on as the head of the nuclear agency.

00:21:53.640 In fact, they cut so many corners that people in the energy administration said,

00:22:02.540 You've got to stop.

00:22:04.560 Who is this guy?

00:22:06.920 How is he getting top-secret clearance?

00:22:09.160 This is a serious role.

00:22:11.220 Many people, one in particular, wrote an awful lot about this and talked about how dangerous it is.

00:22:18.900 I don't know.

00:22:21.920 I just, you know, I don't care how the guy looks in a dress.

00:22:26.160 Is he qualified for the job?

00:22:29.200 And does he have the common sense and decency to act on behalf of America?

00:22:36.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:37.280 All right.

00:22:42.300 Mike Lindell has changed the way millions of people sleep every night.

00:22:47.020 My pillow products, incredible.

00:22:48.880 If you haven't tried them, you should.

00:22:50.360 I will tell you the honest-to-God truth.

00:22:52.880 If I picked one up at a store and I was looking for a pillow, I wouldn't buy it.

00:22:57.660 And the reason I wouldn't buy it is it doesn't seem like the kind of pillow that I would like.

00:23:03.240 I slept on it.

00:23:05.260 And I slept on a small one, and I didn't like it.

00:23:08.080 And I got the extra large, the king size.

00:23:10.320 And I loved it.

00:23:12.020 And I sleep on it every single day.

00:23:15.020 I've slept on it now for, gosh, I don't even know, three, four years.

00:23:19.360 I love it.

00:23:21.000 And I really would not have thought that this was the pillow for me.

00:23:25.060 All of his products are like this.

00:23:26.860 I mean, if you get his sheets, the Giza sheets, oh, my gosh.

00:23:30.860 They are their best.

00:23:32.820 And the per-cal sheets, which are available in a wide variety of colors and sizes,

00:23:37.260 all included in the sale, queen size, regular price is $89.98.

00:23:42.000 Now it's $39.

00:24:05.960 So I really think we've turned the corner on this political correctness.

00:24:11.500 You know, we reached the zenith of the Wii generation in 2024.

00:24:19.760 That is, that's the top of the hill.

00:24:22.740 It's an 80-year swing from the me generation to the Wii generation.

00:24:28.800 And the last time we were at the Wii was in the 1980s.

00:24:36.760 And it's actually a 40-year swing from one side to the other and 40 years to return.

00:24:45.440 And so we were at the me.

00:24:48.700 And the reason why the me generation doesn't have the really kind of, you know, death camp thing

00:24:56.380 is because the me generation is all about me.

00:25:00.880 And so it's me, me, me, me, me, me.

00:25:03.400 And nobody is working on the collective.

00:25:06.360 They're all working on themselves.

00:25:08.260 And so you can get arrogant.

00:25:10.040 You can cut corners and become greedy and everything else.

00:25:15.260 But the Wii generation, the last time we had a Wii generation was in the 1930s and 40s.

00:25:22.620 So the Wii generation is the one where you get this collective nonsense.

00:25:28.900 And it's for the good of society.

00:25:31.080 And people don't matter.

00:25:32.680 Individuals don't matter.

00:25:33.960 You know, it's whatever we have to do to further the flag.

00:25:38.400 And those are dangerous, dangerous times.

00:25:41.820 The history will tell us we're at the top of that and headed back down now after 2024.

00:25:50.620 I think it might have been accelerated this time because of social media.

00:25:56.580 Because imagine if we didn't have social media, we didn't have all of these other forms of media.

00:26:02.080 We wouldn't know half of the stuff that we know right now that's been going on.

00:26:08.200 We wouldn't know about Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:26:13.020 Who would have it?

00:26:14.880 No, I mean, they wouldn't have given it to alternative press because there wasn't any alternative press.

00:26:22.520 So there's so many things that would have gone on.

00:26:26.140 I think this has been accelerated.

00:26:27.840 And I think we're back on the way down.

00:26:29.840 People are just like, it says, I mean, look what's happening in San Francisco.

00:26:35.260 San Francisco, they just voted out, in a recall, voted out the district attorney.

00:26:45.520 And replaced him with somebody who at least kind of makes sense.

00:26:50.140 Somebody who's actually like, yeah, we got to enforce the laws.

00:26:53.200 I don't know if you heard about the transgender felon.

00:26:58.780 Do you remember?

00:27:00.200 Remember in California, they were like, yeah, you know, we got to put men who claim their women into the women's prison.

00:27:09.220 We ought to let them pick.

00:27:11.520 Okay, that's good.

00:27:12.520 So they did it in California.

00:27:14.440 And lo and behold, it was a miracle.

00:27:18.940 It was a miracle.

00:27:20.040 I think maybe Jesus has several brothers of different mothers, and he was born in prison this time.

00:27:30.200 Because immaculate conception.

00:27:32.800 It's the only way to explain it.

00:27:34.580 These guys who claim to be women went to the prison, and they're hanging out with the women, and women are suddenly getting pregnant.

00:27:46.380 Now, that's weird.

00:27:48.140 Because I know, biologically, I am on solid ground, that men can get pregnant.

00:27:55.080 But how do women get pregnant?

00:27:58.060 How do they do that without a real guy there?

00:28:02.180 And there were no real guys.

00:28:05.060 And so it was an immaculate conception.

00:28:07.500 Now, this was happening in California, and it was also happening in New Jersey.

00:28:13.600 And so they've just, in New Jersey, moved Demi Minor.

00:28:20.240 Wow, is that a loaded name?

00:28:22.320 Demi Minor, 27 years old.

00:28:26.500 Of course, 100% woman.

00:28:29.960 Hear him roar.

00:28:30.860 And he was, he has a 30-year prison sentence for manslaughter.

00:28:37.220 And he's been moved.

00:28:40.440 He's been moved from the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women, where apparently,

00:28:48.880 now I don't have this for fact, but follow the science,

00:28:53.120 they say this woman impregnated two other women.

00:28:57.860 I don't know how that happens.

00:29:00.820 Follow the science gang.

00:29:03.140 But I think this kind of stuff is coming to an end.

00:29:05.760 I think people are starting to see the real ramifications of some of it.

00:29:10.220 You know, we're seeing it in the cities.

00:29:12.060 We're now seeing it with immigration.

00:29:17.300 Did you see the mayor of the District of Columbia and what she had to say, Muriel Browser, about illegal aliens?

00:29:27.100 I found this refreshing.

00:29:31.800 I thought that Texas putting these people on buses and sending them into Washington.

00:29:40.380 I liked the idea at first.

00:29:44.000 And then I thought, that's only a publicity stunt because nothing's happening.

00:29:48.720 No, this is why I'm not in charge of these things.

00:29:52.520 Listen to what the mayor of the District of Columbia just said on one of the weekend talk shows.

00:29:59.060 The Washington Post reported last week that homeless shelters in D.C. were filling up

00:30:04.480 and groups are getting overwhelmed by these buses that the governors of Texas and Arizona are sending here full of migrants.

00:30:14.120 How significant is this influx?

00:30:17.040 How many people?

00:30:18.440 Well, this is a very significant issue.

00:30:20.700 We have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses.

00:30:32.120 We think they're largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.

00:30:39.540 I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks.

00:30:48.660 But I fear that they're being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America.

00:31:00.160 Wow.

00:31:01.340 Pat, they're being tricked into going to Washington, D.C.

00:31:05.560 Yeah.

00:31:06.360 Yeah, that's a shame.

00:31:07.260 And that's what she's concerned about is that they're being tricked.

00:31:11.880 She loves having them in the district, of course.

00:31:15.440 She loves the fact that they're there.

00:31:17.500 But only if they really want to end up there.

00:31:22.540 So amazing.

00:31:23.940 You know.

00:31:25.240 Shows how effective this strategy is.

00:31:28.780 It really does.

00:31:30.240 And keep doing it.

00:31:31.700 In fact, I double down now.

00:31:34.240 Because shipping them there, it's flooding all of the resources.

00:31:40.420 And they don't have the money for it.

00:31:42.760 So what are we going to do?

00:31:44.420 What are we going to do?

00:31:45.040 Well, welcome to being a border state.

00:31:49.080 This is exactly what Texas and Arizona and everybody but California have been talking about.

00:31:56.320 We can't handle this.

00:31:58.700 It's flooding our towns and our services.

00:32:01.580 We can't handle this.

00:32:05.200 And nobody had seemed to care.

00:32:07.280 But they do now.

00:32:08.680 And I think that is fantastic.

00:32:11.800 It's brilliant.

00:32:12.640 Good job.

00:32:13.300 Good job, Greg Abbott.

00:32:16.840 We'll have more on that here in a second.

00:32:18.800 Also, one other thing.

00:32:20.180 The Uvalde school shootings.

00:32:21.860 Did you see this?

00:32:23.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:32:24.680 This weekend?

00:32:25.280 It's just unbelievable how every report gets exponentially worse.

00:32:31.740 Doesn't it?

00:32:32.460 Every time we've heard an update on this, it's like, wait, what?

00:32:38.700 How did this happen?

00:32:39.900 So what was your big takeaway?

00:32:44.460 What was the shock out of this one?

00:32:46.400 That there were almost 400 law enforcement officers and not one of them could say, look,

00:32:54.740 I'm going in.

00:32:56.020 You guys do what you want.

00:32:57.120 You sit here if you want.

00:32:58.440 If that's what they're telling us back at headquarters, go ahead.

00:33:01.840 I'm going to go.

00:33:02.700 I'm going to go save some kids.

00:33:04.840 And I'm going to get one of those.

00:33:05.740 Well, so here's the.

00:33:07.760 I get a ballistic shield and give me an AR-15 and I'm going to take this guy out.

00:33:13.900 I mean, 400 agents and not one of them could take on this 18-year-old kid.

00:33:19.220 Unbelievable.

00:33:20.060 It's really amazing to me.

00:33:21.340 So what I learned from this one, and we guessed it at the time, no leadership.

00:33:29.940 Nobody had any idea.

00:33:30.960 There were 400 agents, as Pat said.

00:33:33.220 But they did nothing for an hour.

00:33:36.640 It was most likely over within the first three minutes.

00:33:43.300 He fired, I think, 100 rounds in the first three minutes.

00:33:46.960 And so the cops weren't even there when the shooting was going on.

00:33:52.360 But when they arrived at the scene, 400.

00:33:54.800 And I will say some cops did take things into their own hands to some degree.

00:33:59.920 Some went out and they were breaking windows and they were just pulling kids out of their classrooms via the windows.

00:34:07.300 So, I mean, some did actually go the extra mile.

00:34:11.520 But this was just catastrophic breakdown.

00:34:16.980 All three doors to the school were unlocked.

00:34:20.400 So they, you know, but you have to understand this is also a teeny, teeny, tiny town in the middle of nowhere, Texas.

00:34:28.660 So, I mean, you know, we have to stop thinking this way that it could never happen in my town.

00:34:34.880 Yeah, it could.

00:34:36.260 And it most likely will if you don't take security precautions.

00:34:41.140 We'll have more on that here in a second as well.

00:34:47.400 At the top of the hour, I really want to get into something and I would love to hear your opinion on it.

00:34:53.480 There is this really ridiculous article that comes from Mediate.

00:34:58.560 And it talks about how Republican-controlled states, the voters there, say secession would make things better in their states than those who said it would not.

00:35:14.220 Now, I've got to read this whole article to you because it's so skewed and so ridiculous.

00:35:19.600 It's not even an article.

00:35:20.840 It's an opinion piece.

00:35:21.920 And they're trying to make the case that, you know, Trump voters just want civil war.

00:35:30.000 No, that's actually not what the poll asked.

00:35:34.200 Would your state be better off if you seceded?

00:35:38.640 Yeah.

00:35:39.700 I think all of our states would be better off if we seceded, except for those who are in financial trouble.

00:35:46.140 Except for New York and California and New Jersey and all of those that had the free giveaways.

00:35:52.380 Those guys would be in real trouble.

00:35:54.900 But if the government only protected us, which they're not doing, only protected us, I think things would be a lot better.

00:36:03.800 If California was allowed to be California, and Texas was allowed to be Texas, and we could be as different as night and day, but the one thing we agreed on was the Bill of Rights, I'd take that in a heartbeat.

00:36:19.940 And if you can't give me the Bill of Rights, well, then I think my state could secede and we could hold the Bill of Rights.

00:36:28.040 I'm talking about secession without a civil war, which wouldn't happen, but I think absolutely states would be better off.

00:36:36.180 Don't you think that California would think they'd be better off without Texas when conservatives are in charge?

00:36:45.000 Of course.

00:36:46.920 This is why we have these problems in our country.

00:36:50.280 We have these problems in our country because we were never, ever intended to force people to believe what we believe.

00:37:00.240 That's not what this country is.

00:37:03.160 We'll talk to you because I'd like to hear your opinion on this, on secession.

00:37:09.400 Would we be better off if we weren't with each other anymore?

00:37:14.180 We'll have that conversation coming up at the top of the hour.

00:37:16.680 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:37:18.140 Sure, it's LifeLock.

00:37:19.900 Right now, inflation is hitting everybody.

00:37:22.680 That includes cybercriminals.

00:37:25.820 Oh, it's American Finance.

00:37:26.940 Sorry about that.

00:37:28.160 So American Finance, I'm going to talk to you about inflation again.

00:37:31.880 They are now talking at the federal level that the Fed is going to raise the interest rate another point.

00:37:39.480 That is going to crush us on national debt, and we're going to have all kinds of ramifications for that.

00:37:46.720 It is also going to stop people from being able to get a loan, and it will raise the price of your credit cards.

00:37:54.740 You're probably paying 19% or 20% interest right now on your credit card.

00:37:58.800 And if you have a balance that you just pay every month and you pay it down, you're paying almost all interest, if not all interest.

00:38:08.620 You've got to get out of those high-interest credit cards.

00:38:12.440 I want you to call right now American Financing.

00:38:16.400 They are standing by.

00:38:17.680 They've been in business 20 years.

00:38:19.220 There's no obligation.

00:38:20.760 There's no pressure.

00:38:22.080 Just call them.

00:38:22.920 Tell them your situation and see if they can't help you get into a much better financial situation, saving hundreds if not $1,000 a month.

00:38:30.760 1-800-906-2440.

00:38:48.480 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:50.240 West Virginia.

00:39:08.420 Wanda Palmer.

00:39:09.380 She has been clinging to life in her Ravenwood home next door to her mother's house.

00:39:16.220 She suffered a major head trauma in 2020.

00:39:22.240 They didn't know exactly what happened to her.

00:39:24.840 Nobody saw anything.

00:39:26.040 There were no witnesses.

00:39:29.020 You know, Wednesday, she went out to mow her lawn, and later she was found in a pool of blood.

00:39:36.540 They say they ran up a hill real fast and told us and called police.

00:39:41.080 The mom was there living next door, said, I have no idea what happened.

00:39:45.140 She said, I never heard anything.

00:39:48.000 The police said, we have no eyewitnesses.

00:39:51.080 Nobody else was home.

00:39:52.320 No surveillance.

00:39:53.240 No cell phone.

00:39:53.960 So she's been in a coma for two years, and they had no idea what had happened.

00:39:59.100 Well, she just woke up.

00:40:02.160 And when she woke up, the police were there.

00:40:06.720 They were called immediately.

00:40:07.920 And they said, can you help us out?

00:40:12.720 And she said, yeah.

00:40:16.540 Even though she has severe brain damage, she knew exactly who hit her over the head with a hatchet trying to kill her.

00:40:24.920 It was her brother.

00:40:26.300 Now, the brother is going, he's in jail, possibly going to prison.

00:40:36.100 Can you imagine those two years of her in the bed?

00:40:39.980 They thought she was going to die.

00:40:42.060 Him thinking the whole time as he's standing next to mom at her bedside, please die, please die, please die.

00:40:50.740 She didn't, thank God, and now he's in jail.

00:40:54.620 Back in just a second.

00:41:01.260 I want to talk to you a little bit about good ranchers.

00:41:04.680 You know that our ranchers are in trouble, and we need to start looking for ways to support our farmers.

00:41:14.680 Do you know that about a third of our meat comes from overseas?

00:41:22.580 I mean, I was shocked to find out we are no longer the world's bread basket.

00:41:27.160 We're no longer the one that feeds the world.

00:41:30.020 Why?

00:41:30.920 We have the capability.

00:41:32.460 Most of it is red tape, and now it's this green nonsense of getting away from fertilizer

00:41:37.040 and trying to get Americans to stop eating beef.

00:43:01.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:07.400 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:10.560 So Joe Biden is back from Saudi Arabia where, oh, my gosh, they just loved him.

00:43:18.100 He wasn't successful at all, didn't get a drop of oil from the Saudis.

00:43:24.420 But as I explained last week, why would the Saudis do this?

00:43:27.560 We are leading the charge to put oil out of business.

00:43:33.100 If Saudi Arabia doesn't have oil, can you even imagine the revolutions that will happen in the Middle East?

00:43:41.740 By the way, this is why farmers are out in droves in Spain, in Italy, in Germany, in the Netherlands.

00:43:50.940 They're all protesting the fact that their governments are saying you can't use fertilizer, nitrogen-based fertilizer.

00:43:59.100 30% of the world's crops are solely because of nitrogen-based fertilizer.

00:44:09.840 Well, how are we going to grow enough food?

00:44:12.460 And how dare the people who love to make red tape tell farmers how they're supposed to grow food?

00:44:20.560 With growing food shortages right around the corner, the world has gone mad.

00:44:28.240 But we have some additional madness that happened in Indiana at a shopping mall over the weekend.

00:44:35.620 And a good guy shows up.

00:45:43.740 So, by the way, Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed, filling in for Stu this week.

00:45:50.700 Four people were killed and two were wounded in a mass shooting at a shopping mall just south of Indianapolis.

00:45:56.800 That's Sunday, yesterday.

00:45:58.620 It ended with only four.

00:46:01.860 The guy had several hundred bullets and was ready to fire them.

00:46:07.160 He went into a food court in the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana.

00:46:14.320 It's about six o'clock.

00:46:16.980 Police get a call.

00:46:19.000 There's an active shooter.

00:46:22.480 People started to tweet and send messages and call for help.

00:46:28.800 Sounds of gunshot.

00:46:30.240 It was happening right at the food court.

00:46:32.500 A guy walks in and he takes out a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and begins firing at the people.

00:46:43.580 There were two wounded, 12-year-old girl with a minor injury.

00:46:51.660 Police said that she and other wounded individuals are transported to the hospital in a stable condition.

00:46:57.280 He fired 30 shots.

00:47:01.120 He killed three.

00:47:05.260 And before he could do anything else, there was a guy in the mall, not a cop, not anything, just a guy with a gun.

00:47:13.500 And he shot him and killed him.

00:47:16.980 Four dead, including the shooter.

00:47:22.020 And they say that people with guns don't help.

00:47:27.280 See, this is something that we have been convinced by a really bad president, a progressive, Jimmy Carter.

00:47:37.920 Jimmy Carter is the reason our cops and fire department are called first responders.

00:47:47.340 It was never like that.

00:47:50.280 You were the first responder.

00:47:52.500 You, in fact, in some places where in our founding era, if you walked into a town and you didn't have a gun, you were issued a gun.

00:48:07.700 And you were issued a gun because it was everyone's responsibility to keep the peace.

00:48:13.720 If you were a homeowner and you had a gun, somebody broke into your house, did something, leaves, goes to the next house.

00:48:25.700 If you hadn't tried to stop that person and use your gun and hunted that guy down, you would be held responsible for the next house that he robbed.

00:48:38.120 Because we knew the people who are actually experiencing it are the closest to the problem.

00:48:47.700 And if they act, they can actually stop others.

00:48:51.640 But now, after Jimmy Carter, we are told, wait for the first responders.

00:48:57.200 That's ridiculous.

00:48:59.840 That's the reason.

00:49:02.220 This is the underlying reason, I think, that has infected America and is killing us.

00:49:11.580 You're not smart enough to be involved with your child's education.

00:49:18.860 Leave it to the experts.

00:49:20.220 They're the first responders.

00:49:22.600 They're the first teachers.

00:49:23.900 Not you.

00:49:25.620 No, excuse me.

00:49:27.100 I am my child's teacher.

00:49:29.940 The teachers at school assist me while I'm at work.

00:49:35.600 That's the way it always was and needs to be again.

00:49:42.080 But that requires all of us to take responsibility.

00:49:46.780 You know, I had a death threat.

00:49:51.660 My first real death threat came from a Palestinian supporter.

00:49:57.920 Um, and I was talking about Israel and, and I was talking about, you know, some of the things that were happening, um, with Palestinians and Jews.

00:50:10.900 And this guy calls up and he talks to my producer and, um, he says, Glenn Beck is lying about Palestinians.

00:50:19.960 We're good people.

00:50:20.860 And, um, he, he, he says, uh, that we're, you know, we're all bad.

00:50:26.400 None of which I said.

00:50:27.700 Um, and, uh, he keeps saying that, you know, we behead people and he's got to stop saying it.

00:50:33.640 And if he doesn't stop saying it, I'll beheading myself.

00:50:37.200 The producer was, uh, sharp enough.

00:50:39.640 It was Stu put them on hold, called the FBI or the police police called the FBI, but I had to protect my family.

00:50:49.180 And, uh, that night they said, go home and, uh, close all the drapes and, uh, you have a gun.

00:50:57.820 And I said, no, I don't own a gun.

00:51:00.180 And I didn't own a gun because I didn't think I was responsible enough to own a gun.

00:51:05.120 I hadn't done any training or anything else.

00:51:07.760 And I thought I'll just get myself shot.

00:51:10.380 You know, I'll probably end up shooting myself, doing something stupid because I didn't know anything at all about guns.

00:51:17.640 And, uh, the FBI said, uh, if you can't get out tonight, and it was very late, uh, need to do the show from another state and never tell anybody.

00:51:30.100 And you could be on the road for at least a month before this blows over.

00:51:36.520 So my wife and I talked a lot.

00:51:38.980 We were like, okay, this is what our life is going to be like, huh?

00:51:42.280 And neither of us wanted to get a gun.

00:51:45.920 And so we got a dog.

00:51:47.640 Instead, that was the next best option.

00:51:50.700 But then I trained myself.

00:51:52.780 And I went through training.

00:51:54.700 And I fire my gun an awful lot.

00:51:57.660 The thing that is making it, uh, hard for me to help others and will put me in a situation to where I don't feel comfortable with my gun is the cost of the ammunition, which this administration is intentionally driving up.

00:52:17.640 That only hurts law-abiding citizens.

00:52:21.980 Not because you go broke from ammunition.

00:52:25.980 Ammunition is because you can't fire ammunition like we used to fire ammunition.

00:52:31.980 I didn't even think about bullets.

00:52:33.720 Now, every time I fire at a range, every time I fire that gun, I think about what it's costing in ammunition and how hard it is to get replacement.

00:52:43.680 So I don't want to shoot it all the time.

00:52:46.240 That's extraordinarily dangerous, especially in a world that doesn't manage itself.

00:52:53.140 Remember, we are a society that, uh, our system of government is, the founder said, wholly inadequate for a group of people that are not religious and moral.

00:53:11.940 I don't think you have to be religious, but I do think you have to believe in some sort of higher power, something that regulates you.

00:53:22.920 You know, that's, this was the argument between Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin.

00:53:27.200 Um, Thomas Paine didn't believe in the Trinity.

00:53:31.400 He didn't believe in church.

00:53:33.220 He believed in God.

00:53:34.620 He just didn't believe in religion and he didn't believe in, you know, three in one.

00:53:42.400 And so he came out and when he wrote, um, his book that many atheists claim that he is an atheist because of this book, that's what the founder said too.

00:53:53.800 And Ben Franklin was like his dad.

00:53:57.060 And he wrote to Ben Franklin and said, you know, I'm getting all kinds of heat for this.

00:54:02.440 And Ben Franklin chewed him out and said, of course you are.

00:54:05.920 How dare you?

00:54:07.920 How dare you dismiss religion?

00:54:10.280 It may not be good for you, but the only reason we have America today is because of good religious people that interpreted the Bible the way it's supposed to be interpreted.

00:54:25.440 They are the, you're benefiting from all of those people who self-regulate.

00:54:32.520 So it's easy for you now to say, oh, well, we don't need religion.

00:54:36.540 What happens when religion is gone and God is dead?

00:54:41.960 We're beginning to see what's, what happens.

00:54:46.000 People don't self-regulate.

00:54:48.380 They do whatever they want.

00:54:50.440 They're being told there's really no reason for your existence.

00:54:55.640 You don't count.

00:54:58.280 You'll never get past, you know, your obstacles because they're all because of things that happened long ago.

00:55:06.180 And it's these people who have caused these problems, even though they didn't do it themselves.

00:55:12.740 It's their relatives that did it long ago.

00:55:15.560 Of course, we're going to have shootings.

00:55:21.680 And so who's going to stop them?

00:55:23.560 The police?

00:55:24.620 As we found out in Uvalde, 400 officers were there.

00:55:31.320 Lack of leadership.

00:55:32.460 Now, I, I know that some, um, went in and were rescuing kids by breaking the windows and just pulling them out of the classes.

00:55:44.960 But none of them actually went to the door and just took matters into their own hands.

00:55:51.480 They were all waiting for someone else.

00:55:56.900 America, stop waiting.

00:55:59.240 Stop waiting for someone else.

00:56:02.460 By the way, another story.

00:56:06.440 26-year-old man allegedly held a knife to a gas station clerk's neck in St. Charles, Missouri.

00:56:14.120 This happened on Saturday.

00:56:18.460 So this guy comes in and he takes out a knife and he announces a robbery.

00:56:26.000 Then he puts the knife to the clerk's throat and demands money from the cash register.

00:56:30.680 At one point during the incident, a customer who had just left the store was walking by and he looks in as he gets into his car.

00:56:40.900 He looks in and he sees this guy with a knife up against this clerk's throat.

00:56:46.320 And he was dragging the clerk and she was screaming.

00:56:50.900 So he goes into his glove box and he grabs his gun.

00:56:56.780 And, uh, he confronted the guy who had the knife.

00:57:01.520 And the suspect then, uh, he was holding a backpack in his outstretched arms and he said,

00:57:07.880 I've got something for you.

00:57:09.680 Don't know what that meant.

00:57:10.700 But he didn't know that the guy had a gun.

00:57:14.000 He shot him in the throat and killed him.

00:57:16.000 End of story.

00:57:19.200 Why don't we celebrate these people?

00:57:21.400 Why aren't these the people that we're hearing about instead of just the bad guys?

00:57:30.100 And then they leave out the part of how it was solved.

00:57:35.240 Because those people who have power don't want you to recognize the power that you already have.

00:57:44.540 They need you to be beholden to them.

00:57:48.600 They need you to need them.

00:57:52.400 Don't.

00:57:53.620 You are the master of your own destiny.

00:57:56.720 Back in just a second.

00:57:59.260 Joy wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

00:58:02.100 She says, Relief Factor is absolutely great.

00:58:05.040 I'm able to sleep all through the night pain-free.

00:58:08.080 Relief Factor is everything you said it was.

00:58:10.940 I have a, I have severe neuropathy.

00:58:13.200 I've had it for years and my hip was broken.

00:58:17.020 But I feel like a new woman now.

00:58:18.940 And I'm enjoying the freedom that I have experienced because I don't have pain.

00:58:24.480 Thank you.

00:58:25.240 And thanks to my son for getting this fantastic relief for me.

00:58:29.060 Thank you.

00:58:29.600 Thank you.

00:58:30.040 Thank you.

00:58:30.440 Joy, it makes me thrilled to hear that you're living without pain now.

00:58:35.460 It is, it is something that just beats you down to where you think I'm, this is the way I'm going to live the rest of my life.

00:58:43.800 And it's miserable.

00:58:44.700 And you start to lose hope.

00:58:46.720 Don't lose hope.

00:58:47.840 70% of the people who just try Relief Factor for their three-week quick start go on to order more month after month.

00:58:55.000 I read these every single day.

00:58:57.500 It's not hard to find people who have tried Relief Factor and have amazing stories.

00:59:03.160 Please, just try this.

00:59:04.680 $19.95.

00:59:05.800 It's a dollar a day.

00:59:06.700 It's a trial pack.

00:59:07.920 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

00:59:10.780 And about 70% of them go on to order more.

00:59:13.200 It's ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, 800-4-RELIEF, ReliefFactor.com, 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:59:35.000 So, did you see the Minnesota protests that broke out?

00:59:41.480 A black guy was shot by police, and immediately they say the police were the bad guys.

00:59:49.200 And so there's, you know, the same kind of thing that was starting with George Floyd.

00:59:55.800 However, this was different.

00:59:58.040 He was caught on video outside of an apartment complex where he took some hostages.

01:00:11.480 And killed a 20-year-old.

01:00:17.540 And Sundberg is this neighbor.

01:00:22.860 And she comes to the rally because they're all saying he's a great guy and the police are really bad.

01:00:28.580 And she comes to the rally and she said, excuse me, I'm a black woman, and I have black children.

01:00:39.680 And as a woman of color, I would have lost my life if this guy wasn't killed.

01:00:49.320 My children could have died.

01:00:53.220 She said, would you say he's a bad guy then?

01:00:57.300 Because I was in my home, minding my own business, and he starts shooting, and he shoots through my wall.

01:01:05.960 It just narrowly misses my children and me.

01:01:08.720 And I'm really sick and tired.

01:01:11.460 I'm watching television, and I'm seeing you all say he was a good guy.

01:01:15.140 I was there.

01:01:17.820 I wasn't even a target.

01:01:20.020 And yet, me and my kids could have been killed.

01:01:23.480 Enough with this nonsense.

01:01:28.000 Didn't see that in the news, did you?

01:01:29.880 Nope.

01:01:31.360 Not a peep.

01:01:32.260 And what a brave thing to do, to go against the flow like that, because nobody does.

01:01:39.560 Nobody says anything.

01:01:40.920 Nobody speaks up like this.

01:01:41.400 She could get away with it, though, because she's black.

01:01:46.040 Yeah.

01:01:46.720 And so what are you going to say?

01:01:48.860 By the way, I saw that there's a new report out on the number of Hispanics that are changing over to become GOP

01:01:57.740 or declaring their conservative values.

01:02:01.140 And the left is starting now to say, basically, that they're Uncle Tom's.

01:02:08.600 They're selling out their own people.

01:02:10.540 And I thought, well, Uncle Tom doesn't work for Hispanics.

01:02:15.640 What are they going to call?

01:02:16.960 I mean, the only one that I know that sold his own people out is Cesar Chavez.

01:02:22.240 So is that what they're going to start calling people who are conservative?

01:02:27.300 They're going to start calling him like a Cesar Chavez because he's against his own people.

01:02:34.040 Since they worship at the altar of Cesar Chavez, I doubt it.

01:02:38.220 I don't think they'd bring that up.

01:02:43.300 I know.

01:02:43.900 Have you seen Bill Burr's special yet?

01:02:46.820 I have not.

01:02:47.660 You probably.

01:02:48.600 Probably won't.

01:02:49.160 It is.

01:02:49.880 It would be.

01:02:52.140 My gosh.

01:02:53.180 It would be probably a 10-minute special out of an hour and a half if you would take out all the swearing.

01:03:01.020 He uses it like a surgeon, man.

01:03:03.980 He is just.

01:03:04.800 It's a scalpel.

01:03:06.540 He is so funny.

01:03:08.300 So funny.

01:03:09.000 But, you know, he was talking about this stuff in the special.

01:03:17.000 And if you haven't seen it and you can handle the language, you should watch the Bill Burr special.

01:03:25.240 Is it on Netflix?

01:03:26.340 I think the guy.

01:03:27.820 It's on Netflix.

01:03:28.980 I think he's.

01:03:30.360 Well, he doesn't agree with me, I'm sure.

01:03:32.680 I don't think he's a conservative, but he's not a progressive.

01:03:36.420 Um, he's just, whoa, he's just an American.

01:03:41.880 And maybe it's time we all just start talking common sense again and forget the party.

01:04:11.320 They're saying at the end of this month, I think Thursday, they meet again.

01:04:15.640 It's either Thursday this week or next week.

01:04:17.740 But they're meeting again.

01:04:19.840 And they're talking about raising the interest rates by a point.

01:04:25.240 So your interest rates, whatever you're paying, you're probably paying 20% on your credit cards right now.

01:04:31.380 They're going to, the banks are going to raise that.

01:04:34.760 And they can raise that as things in the economy get worse and worse.

01:04:38.380 And you're never going to be able to get out from underneath that balance.

01:04:43.380 Please.

01:04:43.820 You have to start paying more.

01:04:45.840 And the way to do that is to use a consolidation loan from American Financing.

01:04:51.560 Just call them and see if they can help you.

01:04:54.140 So you're not in this vice just squeezing the lifeblood out of you.

01:05:19.540 We're glad you're here.

01:05:21.300 Pat, I'm up in Idaho.

01:05:23.640 And it was in the high 90s yesterday.

01:05:26.920 What was it in Texas?

01:05:28.640 And what are you expecting this week?

01:05:29.900 So, 173 yesterday.

01:05:34.160 And I think we're going to be in the low 200s.

01:05:37.020 But it's actually, it was, I think, 107 yesterday.

01:05:41.940 It is predicted to be 109 today, 109 tomorrow.

01:05:46.720 I think we cool off all the way to 102 the next day.

01:05:51.460 But it's over 100 every day for at least a week.

01:05:55.740 Still.

01:05:56.660 Now, this has been an exceptionally hot summer.

01:05:59.560 Yeah, exceptionally hot summer in Texas.

01:06:01.660 But Texas, at least for a week every year, has that kind of temperature.

01:06:07.480 And it feels all of 109.

01:06:11.980 It's, you know, you put a touch of humidity in there and, oh, it's delightful.

01:06:17.500 It's delightful.

01:06:19.000 That's a great word for it.

01:06:20.080 So, I think this is something that everybody in America needs to hear.

01:06:26.520 Remember, a statement just came out on the dashboard of all Teslas that are owned in Texas.

01:06:34.180 Tesla is asking all Texas-based customers to avoid charging their electric vehicles during certain times of the day as the Lone Star State is currently experiencing a massive heat wave that is straining the electrical power grid.

01:06:52.280 And, hmm, so wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:06:56.560 So, they recommend that you don't charge your car in the daytime because, but I thought Tesla's just were clean energy and it, I mean.

01:07:13.160 Right.

01:07:13.880 Where's the energy?

01:07:14.940 I thought it came from the magic wall socket.

01:07:18.000 Yeah, and that's powered by fairy dust, I think.

01:07:22.300 Isn't it?

01:07:22.740 Isn't fairy dust what goes through the wall?

01:07:24.600 Yeah.

01:07:24.980 Yeah.

01:07:25.300 Well, I think too many people in Texas are trying to power the state with fairy dust.

01:07:31.000 They're using wind power, but because of the heat and everything else, the wind turbines are not producing.

01:07:38.420 Yeah, they're not producing the wind.

01:07:40.240 Yeah.

01:07:40.640 And let me tell you something.

01:07:41.920 As somebody who lives off the grid, I have solar, I have some natural gas, you know, little diesel that I try to use, you know, only when in an emergency.

01:07:55.980 You see, after 10 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it right, I pretty much rely on the sun.

01:08:06.680 But we also have wind power because there are times, you know, in the winter where it's cloudy for weeks.

01:08:14.660 Wind power is useless.

01:08:18.020 Absolutely useless.

01:08:20.160 I don't know why anyone thinks that that is an answer.

01:08:24.780 The sun is dependable, except when the clouds come in.

01:08:29.520 But at least it's much more dependable.

01:08:32.620 Wind is ridiculously stupid.

01:08:35.540 Yeah, and we've got all those West Texas turbines that go for miles and miles and miles.

01:08:41.720 And, you know, Texas is, I think, the leader in wind energy.

01:08:48.380 But a lot of times, those turbines don't spin, as you just mentioned.

01:08:53.840 There's no wind.

01:08:54.960 And they're in West Texas, and the population centers are in East Texas.

01:09:01.920 You've got Dallas, you've got Houston, and you've got to power all of these cities clear from West.

01:09:06.260 It's difficult to get all that power here.

01:09:09.160 By the time it gets here, you've got very little.

01:09:12.620 And so it's just completely inefficient.

01:09:15.160 It's just, it's not going to replace the electricity we now have.

01:09:19.640 I just want to remind people that rolling blackouts, that is something in the past that is also something that you see in emerging countries or third world countries.

01:09:37.680 Not in America, and certainly not in Texas.

01:09:41.100 We're not California.

01:09:42.960 We have all of the resources that we need to be able to have the power that we need.

01:09:49.240 It is the only one that is not on a centralized grid.

01:09:53.440 Texas is on its own electrical grid.

01:09:56.480 We don't sell energy to anybody else.

01:09:59.520 We don't ask for energy from anybody else.

01:10:02.380 We're on our own grid.

01:10:03.800 And it's never been a problem.

01:10:05.520 In fact, it's been something that we have heralded for a long time.

01:10:10.760 That's why our energy is so dependable.

01:10:14.960 But now we're going back.

01:10:17.360 And the reason why we're going back is they put so much money in wind power and they're turning other plants down.

01:10:25.060 And that wind power is not dependable.

01:10:29.460 Why, as Americans, are we allowing this?

01:10:33.100 Why?

01:10:33.380 It doesn't make any sense.

01:10:37.280 It really doesn't make any sense.

01:10:38.440 And we also have the largest nuclear power plant in the country here, the South Texas power plant, which is, you know, nuclear energy.

01:10:47.720 If we could build more nuclear plants, you could power this country forever.

01:10:53.260 I know.

01:10:54.640 I would be all in on the green thing.

01:10:58.080 I'd be all in if we built nuclear power plants and we took cars and made them hydrogen powered.

01:11:05.540 Because you can make the hydrogen in all of the off hours of a nuclear power plant.

01:11:11.500 Everybody goes to bed.

01:11:12.960 The power plant keeps making energy.

01:11:15.400 But they use that energy to make hydrogen.

01:11:18.400 It is so unbelievably simple.

01:11:22.640 Hydrogen and nuclear power, both of them 100% clean for the environment.

01:11:29.940 And if you were going to talk common sense, I'd do it.

01:11:33.380 Yeah.

01:11:33.980 This is ridiculous.

01:11:35.300 Well, it just goes to show that that's not really their goal.

01:11:38.660 Sustainable energy is not really the goal for them.

01:11:41.360 No.

01:11:42.120 Their goal is to bring America down to everybody else's level and make us a third world nation.

01:11:48.620 Then we've got equality.

01:11:50.360 And it is.

01:11:51.380 It's so anti-human, Pat.

01:11:53.920 It is so anti-human.

01:11:55.460 Mm-hmm.

01:11:55.980 You know, these same people who think there are too many people that live on the planet that will, you know, we're all going to run out of food and whatever.

01:12:02.720 We're going to run out of food and energy and medicine because of them.

01:12:07.060 Yeah.

01:12:07.460 Not because the earth doesn't have it, not because of anything other than the red tape from these people that doesn't make any sense.

01:12:17.740 You don't do this if you actually care about people.

01:12:21.780 This is why I find this interesting.

01:12:23.860 This is from Mediate.

01:12:24.960 And I want to read this story to you because it is so skewed that it is just crazy that it's being called a news story.

01:12:32.220 More Trump voters living in Republican-controlled states say secession would make things better in their states than those who said it would not, according to a new poll.

01:12:42.980 Respondents to a Yahoo News YouGov poll, which is not really a poll, were asked, do you think your state would be better or worse off if it left the United States to become an independent country?

01:12:57.300 Among all respondents, more than twice as many say they'd be worse off as those who said they would be better off.

01:13:06.120 43% worse off, 18% better off.

01:13:10.260 While 15% said things would be about the same, another 24% said, I don't, I don't, I don't know.

01:13:17.440 Okay, so they broke this poll down at Mediate and they found that people who voted for Donald Trump, which was, you know, 80 million people, Donald Trump voters say they are more likely, they are more likely to say that they'd be personally better off rather than worse off if their state seceded from the U.S.

01:13:43.300 and became an independent country.

01:13:46.440 It's a striking rejection of national unity that dramatizes the growing culture war between Democrat and Republican-controlled states on core issues such as guns, abortions, and democracy itself.

01:14:00.620 And an even larger share of red-straight state Trump voters say their state as a whole would be better off, 35%, rather than worse off, 30%, if it left the U.S.

01:14:12.060 The survey was conducted between July 8th and 11th comes a series of hard-line conservative decisions by the Supreme Court, coupled with continued gridlock on Capitol Hill.

01:14:24.980 This is what has shifted America's center of political gravity back to the states where the parties in power are increasingly filling the federal void with far-reaching reforms of their own.

01:14:37.860 Given the attention surrounding the blockbuster January 6th hearings into the Trump-fueled attack on the Capitol, I guess the numbers could have been worse.

01:14:51.780 Okay, let me ask you an honest question, and I'm not talking about civil war.

01:14:57.040 I'm talking about something that would never happen.

01:14:59.880 This poll did not say civil war.

01:15:04.060 What it said was, would your state be better off or worse off?

01:15:07.740 And I can make a case for both.

01:15:09.620 You wouldn't have national defense.

01:15:11.600 You'd have to defend yourself.

01:15:15.060 This is accepting the idea that we all still got along and your state wasn't boycotted because you broke away,

01:15:24.180 which is exactly what the progressives would do.

01:15:26.940 This is just this utopian view of, hey, the president gets up tomorrow and says, no harm, no foul.

01:15:35.520 We'll still trade with each other and we'll live next door to each other.

01:15:39.340 But if you want to leave the union, you can leave the union.

01:15:44.120 Again, never happened.

01:15:45.200 But if it was okay to leave the union, it wasn't going to cause civil war and backlash of everything else,

01:15:54.480 would your state be better off?

01:15:56.460 I can tell you California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, any of the states that are depending on my tax dollars in Texas

01:16:10.900 or those who have tax dollars in Wyoming and whatever, all of those people, they'd be better off.

01:16:19.620 But the states that are getting our tax dollars, they'd be much worse off because their policies don't work.

01:16:28.940 And the only way they can afford it is to bleed all of the other people in the other 49 states dry.

01:16:35.660 And to me, you know, I think Texas would, I think most Texans would absolutely secede under those circumstances.

01:16:44.380 But that's not a rejection of the United States or our Constitution.

01:16:47.960 It's a rejection of Biden and Democrats in general who've become Marxists and their Marxist policies.

01:16:54.220 And what they've done to the United States of America in the last few years.

01:16:58.340 And what they've done to us in the last, you know, between Obama and Biden and Clinton.

01:17:05.300 They've hurt us fundamentally for a long time.

01:17:10.740 If the alternative was, hey, can we go back to the Constitution and live the Constitution in the United States of America?

01:17:19.700 I think most everybody would want to be a part of that.

01:17:23.460 Oh, I think so.

01:17:24.260 Because we wouldn't secede from the Constitution.

01:17:27.380 You know, they have.

01:17:29.160 They have.

01:17:30.340 And so they've already seceded from that horrible, dusty document that's nothing but a racist manifesto.

01:17:37.560 That's their opinion of it.

01:17:39.400 Our opinion of it is that it is the best Constitution and the best mission statement with the Declaration of Independence ever, ever created.

01:17:50.340 Most Constitutions last 17 years.

01:17:55.900 17 years is the average length of the duration in the world today of a Constitution.

01:18:04.020 We've had one since 1791.

01:18:06.260 I don't know.

01:18:06.840 I think it's pretty good.

01:18:08.560 We've strayed from it.

01:18:10.240 And that's the problem.

01:18:11.520 Yeah.

01:18:11.780 I think that most states, I have no problem if California wants to live like California and New York wants to live like New York.

01:18:19.380 Just don't force me to do it.

01:18:22.920 And, you know, when Trump was in office, that's what California was saying.

01:18:26.880 I don't have a problem with that.

01:18:28.420 Just don't.

01:18:29.240 Maybe we should secede.

01:18:30.960 Don't make this into a right-wing conspiracy thing.

01:18:35.740 Californians, liberals were saying it under Donald Trump.

01:18:42.520 The reason why?

01:18:44.220 The federal government was never intended to make all of our decisions for us.

01:18:50.440 It should be left to the states.

01:18:56.420 LifeLock is our sponsor this half hour.

01:18:58.380 Right now, inflation is hitting everybody, and that includes the cyber criminals.

01:19:03.740 Oh, these poor people.

01:19:04.760 I mean, they have to pay through the gas station and the grocery store, you know, and they need your dollars to do it.

01:19:13.040 I mean, why are you so mean in trying to stop them?

01:19:17.040 Why?

01:19:17.820 All they want is just your name, your reputation, and a few of your dollars, and you're going to sick LifeLock on them?

01:19:27.560 Oh, my gosh.

01:19:29.040 Is there no human?

01:19:30.060 May I quote the guy who did the Hindenburg broadcast?

01:19:34.120 Oh, the humanity.

01:19:38.740 Well, if you're a hater of people, people who just think differently about your money, what you call your money, they just say it's collective money, and they should have some of it.

01:19:49.080 If you want to sick, you know, some big dogs on them to make sure that they're caught if they take your money and that you're protected so you can keep all of your money, go ahead.

01:20:02.640 Hire a LifeLock.

01:20:03.920 I mean, they can't stop everything.

01:20:05.460 Thank goodness.

01:20:06.180 So a few people are allowed to eat and feed their family.

01:20:44.280 So I think the big news that everybody is talking about is Jennifer Lopez married Ben Affleck.

01:21:07.820 And I don't know who got the worst deal on that.

01:21:13.880 I mean, which one?

01:21:15.580 It looks like a deal where no one wins, you know?

01:21:19.320 But turns out love is patient, you know?

01:21:25.640 Jennifer Lopez just wrote, we did it.

01:21:28.120 Love is beautiful.

01:21:28.940 Love is kind.

01:21:29.920 Love is patient.

01:21:30.880 20 years we waited.

01:21:33.260 And they finally made it to the chapel in Las Vegas over the weekend.

01:21:38.280 Wow.

01:21:38.980 And got hitched.

01:21:40.720 And it is, I mean, it's just, it's an old-fashioned love story, you know?

01:21:47.060 Obviously a forever love going on here.

01:21:51.000 They'll be together forever.

01:21:52.300 No, no, no.

01:21:53.840 Forever.

01:21:54.700 Yeah.

01:21:55.220 Ben Affleck.

01:21:56.280 Oh.

01:21:56.820 And Jennifer Lopez.

01:21:58.540 And Jennifer Lopez.

01:21:59.680 That's totally forever.

01:22:01.180 Catches.

01:22:01.260 Real catches.

01:22:02.000 Both.

01:22:02.660 Yeah.

01:22:03.100 Both sides.

01:22:05.660 What a marriage made in heaven.

01:22:08.600 And we wish them all the best.

01:22:11.120 Yeah.

01:22:11.140 It's beautiful.

01:22:11.900 And I hope neither of them said we need a pre-dump.

01:22:16.100 Because don't plan the ending at the beginning, you know?

01:22:19.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:21.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:21.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:21.380 We've got no room to compromise.

01:22:43.660 We've got to stand together, it's the chorus of night.

01:22:49.580 Stand up straight and hold the line.

01:22:57.160 It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.

01:23:03.580 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:09.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:13.280 Stand up.

01:23:14.400 You know, there's one party that claims over and over and over again that they love people,

01:23:21.640 they love the children, they love women, and anybody who disagrees with them, just

01:23:27.520 bigoted, horrific, child abusers that hate women.

01:23:33.500 But the facts say differently.

01:23:35.940 Let's talk about the border situation.

01:23:38.540 According to Amstey International, 60% of the women and girls who make the trek to the U.S.-Mexico border

01:23:47.580 are raped as they come over the border.

01:23:52.540 They are raped by the cartel.

01:23:55.120 As Senator Ron Johnson said, how do you think young women pay their $5,000, $6,000, $7,000, $8,000

01:24:01.000 human trafficking fee?

01:24:04.040 I think we all know there are rape trees now in America.

01:24:10.320 Rape trees.

01:24:12.160 Where the attackers take the women and rape them and then put their undergarments on the

01:24:19.380 tree like a trophy.

01:24:21.900 So many rapes are being attributed now to illegal aliens.

01:24:32.060 Are they all rapists?

01:24:34.280 Well, no, of course not.

01:24:36.100 They're not all rapists.

01:24:37.580 But we don't seem to care about it.

01:24:39.720 We don't seem to be doing anything about it.

01:24:42.280 I go back to that 10-year-old girl that had to have an abortion that the president used

01:24:48.640 in a despicable way.

01:24:50.300 So, this story gets worse.

01:24:53.600 I'll give you the update in 60 seconds.

01:24:59.960 So, retirement.

01:25:01.620 Retirement is, you know, it's the only word that there's no replacement for in Hebrew.

01:25:08.580 There's nothing in Hebrew, God's language, retirement.

01:25:12.000 We're meant to work our whole lives, I think.

01:25:15.720 But it's been very nice to have retirement, especially for our parents and our grandparents.

01:25:21.200 And, you know, I dream about retirement, although I think I'd be miserable on it.

01:25:27.660 Retirement is disappearing for a lot of people right now because of what's happening with

01:25:33.720 their 401ks and what's happening to the stock market.

01:25:37.620 Also, what's happening with inflation?

01:25:40.920 We're now at 9.1% inflation rate.

01:25:46.580 Gold and silver can be a great conservative way to keep what's you've worked so hard to

01:25:52.000 earn and save to keep what's yours, yours.

01:25:55.540 The prices have recently pulled back a little, but the market experts still see huge upward

01:26:01.060 moves on the horizon.

01:26:02.880 Hedge fund manager Seth Klarman just revised his gold target up to $2,500 an ounce in the

01:26:10.060 next 12 months.

01:26:38.300 So there was a story out this weekend.

01:26:42.840 Where was it?

01:26:43.360 I may have thrown it away.

01:26:44.640 There was a story out this weekend about all of these people in conservative media that

01:26:51.240 just didn't buy the story of the little girl in Ohio, 10 years old, that had to go across

01:27:00.040 state lines, and they were asking questions about it.

01:27:03.780 So somebody on the left actually took the time to go through all of the shows.

01:27:09.740 I mean, conservatives that I've never even heard of.

01:27:11.880 All of the podcasts, all the shows, and everything else, just to compile a list of those people

01:27:18.480 that said that it never happened.

01:27:21.600 Well, I never said it didn't happen.

01:27:25.100 I said it doesn't make any sense.

01:27:28.600 Megan Fox is an investigative journalist.

01:27:31.400 She is the author of Believe Evidence, and she works at PJ Media, and she was one of them

01:27:36.960 that said it didn't make sense.

01:27:39.640 She didn't say that this child doesn't exist.

01:27:42.760 She said, if this child exists, why don't other things exist?

01:27:48.260 For instance, a police report for the rape of a 10-year-old.

01:27:53.980 Megan Fox did all the hard work, and she's here to tell us an update.

01:27:59.020 Hi, Megan.

01:27:59.480 How are you?

01:28:01.120 Good, Glenn.

01:28:01.860 How are you?

01:28:02.420 I read that article, by the way.

01:28:03.900 It was hilarious.

01:28:06.620 Hilarious.

01:28:07.520 I mean, look at how long they had to spend.

01:28:11.460 How much time did they spend doing that?

01:28:14.680 My gosh.

01:28:16.020 And when they come up with quotes from me, it's like, yeah, well, I still stand by that question.

01:28:21.460 I still stand by it.

01:28:22.760 I stand by every question that I ask.

01:28:25.320 The American public deserves to have reporting that is not based on one single source, and

01:28:30.160 that is corroborated and backed up by facts.

01:28:32.740 Without digging into what we did, we would not know, and I agree with Ann Coulter, who

01:28:38.160 says there's no way they would have reported that an illegal alien raped this little girl.

01:28:42.920 Well, now we know that, and we can continue digging, which is what I'm doing.

01:28:48.180 Yeah.

01:28:48.760 Well, there are so many stories, Megan, that just, you read them, and you're like, something's

01:28:53.760 not right here.

01:28:54.600 And I don't know what it is.

01:28:56.180 I mean, the story could have been that she didn't exist.

01:28:59.020 The story could have been that the rape was made up because there's no police filing.

01:29:05.540 The story could have been a million different things.

01:29:08.160 But we read these stories every day, and you're like, something's missing here.

01:29:12.680 This doesn't make sense the way it is.

01:29:14.720 And nobody's doing follow-up work to find out what that is.

01:29:18.980 Thank God for you.

01:29:20.140 So tell me the update on what has happened.

01:29:23.200 And we found out last, what was it, Thursday or Wednesday, that this girl does exist.

01:29:28.940 She was raped.

01:29:30.420 She didn't need to go across state lines, but there was some confusion on that.

01:29:35.480 And she was raped.

01:29:38.660 And the police knew about the rape on January 2nd, but didn't do anything about it until...

01:29:47.620 June 22nd.

01:29:48.040 When was it?

01:29:48.980 June 22nd.

01:29:50.260 June 22nd.

01:29:51.740 July 6th, she told them the identity.

01:29:54.380 July 12th, they arrested the guy.

01:29:57.060 The day after the Fox News blitz.

01:29:59.940 Here's the update.

01:30:01.500 We also learned on Thursday, because Telemundo is doing amazing investigative work.

01:30:06.380 Telemundo is all over it.

01:30:08.820 They found the mother.

01:30:10.080 They interviewed neighbors.

01:30:11.280 They corroborated that this is the mother of the child.

01:30:14.000 She has other children in the home.

01:30:16.320 The mother is denying the police narrative.

01:30:19.440 The police testified under oath in court on Wednesday that the report was made by the mother.

01:30:26.560 The mother told Telemundo on Thursday she did not make a report, and she doesn't believe

01:30:31.340 that Gerson Fuentes, her boyfriend, is responsible for this rape.

01:30:36.300 The mother is also pregnant with Gerson Fuentes' next child, and so she's denying this.

01:30:43.820 The big question I have after seeing that was, oh, my God, did Franklin County DCS take custody

01:30:50.220 of these children?

01:30:51.000 Because this mother of here does not believe that this happened.

01:30:57.140 So, okay, on Thursday, the same day that came out, Glenn, I sent a FOIA request to Franklin

01:31:02.380 County DCS just asking them to confirm, did you take custody of the children in this home

01:31:08.000 on June 22nd when you got this report, or didn't you?

01:31:11.320 I was told that day on July 14th, we, or on July 15th, the very next day, they responded

01:31:19.420 the next day, they said, we're forwarding your request to our legal department.

01:31:24.240 I followed up on the 16th.

01:31:25.980 Has anybody responded?

01:31:27.140 No.

01:31:27.700 I called this morning.

01:31:28.820 I just got off the phone with legal before coming on with you.

01:31:31.960 They said, oh, we didn't get your request.

01:31:34.160 I said, okay, fine.

01:31:35.400 You don't get my, here, tell me now, are the children in the custody of the state?

01:31:39.600 And I got the longest pause you ever heard.

01:31:42.740 And then the response was, I don't have any information on that.

01:31:46.520 And I will get it as soon as I can.

01:31:49.800 Oh my gosh.

01:31:50.820 Okay.

01:31:51.140 So, so help me out on this because honestly, um, one of my producers, uh, Tiffany Siegel,

01:31:57.520 she was a great producer, worked with me for a long time, such a good mom.

01:32:03.160 Um, I don't remember what happened, but it was perfectly logical and, you know, no charges

01:32:09.060 were ever, ever, even nobody even thought about her not being a great mom.

01:32:14.480 Her, I think her son broke her, his arm or something had to go to the hospital.

01:32:20.360 Um, and they were asking questions, you know, uh, what about mom?

01:32:25.760 Were you there?

01:32:26.540 No, the nanny was there.

01:32:28.000 I was at work, um, and DPS had to come in and, uh, almost took her child, but had to

01:32:37.240 meet with her once a week for, I don't know how many months to make sure that everything

01:32:42.040 was good.

01:32:42.600 And she was distraught like crazy having somebody question her and her then feeling like maybe

01:32:50.240 I'm not a good mom.

01:32:51.400 They take kids away from people in a heartbeat.

01:32:55.780 This man, uh, for nothing, this man, uh, allegedly where she was pregnant, was sleeping with the

01:33:08.780 mother.

01:33:09.480 She's pregnant.

01:33:11.580 Why wouldn't they take this child?

01:33:14.140 What, why, why wouldn't they make sure that the children are safe?

01:33:17.960 It doesn't make sense.

01:33:19.900 Glenn, I, I spoke to two sane nurses from different States.

01:33:23.300 Those are sexual abuse nurses, uh, who are experts in this field.

01:33:27.540 They, two of them both told me there is no way that a pregnant 10 year old leaves the hospital

01:33:33.280 in the care of the people who brought her there.

01:33:36.140 Uh, as soon as that report is known, as soon as someone does a pregnancy test on a 10 year

01:33:41.740 old, that child is going into the custody of the state.

01:33:44.460 That is the protocol.

01:33:45.380 Now I looked up Ohio's sexual abuse protocols and it, it appears to corroborate what the

01:33:50.860 sane nurses are telling me.

01:33:52.220 I also spoke to a 38 year, um, year veteran of a homicide police force in, in Florida who

01:34:00.380 contacted me to say, this story doesn't add up and I want to talk to you.

01:34:03.540 So I talked to him this morning and he said, the probable cause for this is off the charts

01:34:09.660 to arrest this man immediately.

01:34:12.560 There was no need to wait six days after the child says, you know, he, here's the guy.

01:34:18.220 And he also said, if DCS was involved in the beginning, um, again, they could have taken

01:34:24.900 the children immediately.

01:34:25.820 And, and we don't know if they did or not because they're not talking again, Glenn, this

01:34:30.940 is what caused the whole problem in the first place as authorities, not talking to press

01:34:35.320 when they are asked specifically DCS in Franklin County has had three days last week and all

01:34:42.980 weekend to come up with a statement for the public.

01:34:45.520 I asked the legal department just now on the phone, do you have a statement for the public

01:34:50.180 about the safety of these children?

01:34:51.440 And her response was, no, I have no comment.

01:34:55.220 We will try to answer your questions as soon as possible.

01:34:58.500 What are they waiting for?

01:35:02.680 Why would they even take your phone call?

01:35:05.420 Uh, and, uh, I mean, they had to know what you were calling about.

01:35:10.100 They had to have known.

01:35:11.760 Um, so, so I just want to make sure I have this part of the story, right?

01:35:18.080 He confessed to the rape.

01:35:20.420 Did he not?

01:35:22.020 Well, that's the police.

01:35:23.220 That's what they said.

01:35:27.140 Okay.

01:35:28.260 So according to the police, he confesses and they send everybody home back to the same

01:35:37.180 house with the mom denying it.

01:35:39.640 No, wait.

01:35:41.000 He didn't confess until they picked him up and arrested him.

01:35:44.800 That's on the 12th.

01:35:46.520 Okay.

01:35:47.080 She told the police on a six that he did it, but they didn't arrest him or even question

01:35:51.060 him until the 12th after the Fox news thing, after all the public pressure.

01:35:55.740 Why?

01:35:56.280 The question is why, what happened in those six days?

01:35:58.680 I want to know.

01:35:59.620 And I think the public deserves to know what is the, what are the Columbus police doing

01:36:03.880 and why did they do it?

01:36:05.720 And when did they know, uh, you know, it appears they knew on July 6th, according to court documents,

01:36:11.740 that this was the guy they didn't need to pick him up.

01:36:17.180 Megan, I can't think of anything.

01:36:25.120 I mean, I can't even think that it's incompetence.

01:36:28.380 It involves too many people for incompetence.

01:36:32.900 What do you think is happening here?

01:36:35.220 How do you, how do you, how do they explain this?

01:36:40.160 Glenn, I have covered, I have covered child services for the last 10 years, CPS outrages.

01:36:46.120 Okay.

01:36:46.560 I have never, ever discount incompetence where these people are concerned.

01:36:54.100 Kids fall through the cracks all the time.

01:36:56.720 And some child services agencies are used as weapons against parents who have done nothing

01:37:02.800 for no reason.

01:37:03.600 I covered a story about Adam Louser in, in New Mexico who lost his children for 11 months

01:37:09.960 on one vindictive teacher who was retaliating against him for complaining about her.

01:37:15.660 She made up fantastical sexual abuse claims that she said his four-year-old said it never

01:37:21.420 happened.

01:37:21.960 There was no evidence and he lost his children in his career for 11 months.

01:37:26.720 This case, we have all the evidence, a pregnant 10-year-old is evidence.

01:37:31.680 That's probable cause.

01:37:33.640 There is no reason why the county shouldn't have acted quickly.

01:37:36.920 And maybe they did, but why didn't they, why aren't they telling us?

01:37:40.840 Why don't they have a statement prepared?

01:37:42.800 How come Columbus police don't have a statement prepared?

01:37:45.660 The other thing that the 38-year veteran of the homicide force that I talked to today said

01:37:50.340 was the way they're dealing with the media is so highly unusual.

01:37:54.700 All police departments know, you get out in front of these things when you have something

01:38:00.440 go national.

01:38:01.200 You get out there, you hold a press conference, you tell people, here's what we can tell you.

01:38:06.700 We can't tell you these other things, but we can tell you what we did, at least in X,

01:38:11.240 Y, and Z.

01:38:11.800 So we assure the public that we are doing our job.

01:38:15.040 Real quick, and I have to take a break.

01:38:19.640 Is mom here legally or illegally?

01:38:24.420 That has not been confirmed that I know of.

01:38:27.640 Telemundo has not confirmed what her status is.

01:38:31.360 I did find out, though, from the police expert I talked to that immigration status should not

01:38:37.200 affect how protocols are put into place.

01:38:39.940 Oh, no, no, no.

01:38:41.020 They should be treated the same.

01:38:45.300 Yeah, I agree with that.

01:38:46.900 I'm just wondering if this is the reason why.

01:38:52.180 I know it's supposed to happen for anybody.

01:38:55.360 It's supposed to happen this way, but I'm wondering if that's why at least the media is

01:39:00.900 being handled the way they're handling you and others.

01:39:04.640 Megan, thank you so much.

01:39:05.620 Please fill us in on anything else that comes up.

01:39:08.360 We'd love to talk to you day-to-day to find out and keep following the story, because

01:39:13.880 something is really wrong in Ohio.

01:39:16.920 Thank you.

01:39:17.460 Bye-bye.

01:39:18.100 Megan Fox from PJ Media.

01:39:22.240 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:39:25.340 It's the Tuttle Twins books.

01:39:27.280 You know and I know our freedoms are under attack, and socialists have been winning for

01:39:32.160 a long time because we haven't been paying attention.

01:39:35.520 And there is absolutely no way for our republic to survive, our way of life to survive, without

01:39:44.480 knowing our history.

01:39:45.700 Our history is being erased in real time.

01:39:50.440 It is so critical that our children are raised.

01:39:54.040 They're raised on the truth, and they understand why our country is remarkable, our actual history, why our form of government is

01:40:04.120 inspired and has inspired the entire world.

01:40:07.960 Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

01:40:12.520 And we don't know history.

01:40:13.900 So please, there's a new 240-page, fully illustrated book from the Tuttle Twins, and it is inspiring.

01:40:21.760 Your kids will love it.

01:40:23.560 It's not about dates and names and memorizing the, you know, the, why was the War of 1812 fought?

01:40:32.420 We don't know that.

01:40:33.680 When was the War of 1812 fought?

01:40:36.220 That's what you're told.

01:40:37.520 You don't know why the War of 1812 even happened.

01:40:40.540 This book cures this, and it is a great book from the Tuttle Twins.

01:40:47.240 Find it at tuttletwinsbeck.com.

01:40:49.900 They're having an America history book launch this week.

01:40:53.780 You can get a preview of a free sample chapter so you can see for yourself why it's needed and how good it is,

01:41:00.080 and why it's crucial in the here and now.

01:41:03.140 It's tuttletwinsbeck.com.

01:41:05.120 Please get this for your family now.

01:41:08.120 tuttletwinsbeck.com.

01:41:09.600 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:41:24.120 What is up with this story, Pat?

01:41:26.020 Do you have any theory, any thought?

01:41:29.100 Why is this happening?

01:41:32.000 I imagine the illegal status or the status of their citizenship has something to do with it.

01:41:46.840 There's different sets of rules for illegal aliens than there are for American citizens.

01:41:51.760 We've seen that time after time after time.

01:41:53.460 Not with rape and things like this.

01:41:58.160 You know, the problem is in South America and in Mexico, it is not necessarily frowned upon for an older guy to marry a young girl.

01:42:12.920 The culture is backward in our perspective.

01:42:20.120 I mean, I want to be respectful because all cultures are equally as great.

01:42:24.760 Yeah.

01:42:25.760 Yeah.

01:42:26.400 But this is not unusual in a Latino South American country.

01:42:35.760 Not the rape part.

01:42:37.300 A 27-year-old man and a 9-year-old girl?

01:42:40.160 Not with a 10.

01:42:41.300 No, no, no.

01:42:42.060 Not that.

01:42:43.080 But a 27-year-old with a 14-year-old?

01:42:46.260 Right.

01:42:46.800 15.

01:42:47.880 That's...

01:42:49.080 But this...

01:42:50.080 I mean, this even defies the logic of the South American cultures because this is just plain sick.

01:42:58.260 And I'm not saying that...

01:42:59.600 Yeah, and the culture is not raping and everything else.

01:43:03.360 That's not the culture.

01:43:05.020 It's just that it's like Jerry Lee Lewis.

01:43:08.080 Yeah.

01:43:08.280 You know, when he married his cousin who was like 16 and he thought that was normal.

01:43:14.240 So there's a huge cultural difference here.

01:43:17.260 And I find it fascinating that Telemundo is the one that is actually working with Megan,

01:43:25.040 the only two that are working this story, to get to the bottom of it.

01:43:29.160 American press, they don't seem to care.

01:43:32.520 They don't seem to care.

01:43:33.820 And maybe because it is a cultural thing.

01:43:38.280 At least that maybe that's the way mom sees it.

01:43:41.320 But not the way most Hispanics will see it.

01:43:45.760 And not the way most people will see it.

01:43:50.360 Back in a minute.

01:43:53.200 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:43:57.240 Time we fight back against what the woke mob has planned for this country.

01:44:01.520 We fight with our votes.

01:44:03.680 We fight with our ideas.

01:44:05.100 We fight with our dollars.

01:44:06.660 We have never been a group of people that fought with our dollars.

01:44:10.540 That's the left.

01:44:11.840 Cancel culture.

01:44:12.960 I don't like it.

01:44:14.360 I like going for people who, you know, are decent, make a great product, and sell it at a great price.

01:44:22.820 I like the market working.

01:44:26.060 However, I can't take these woke companies anymore because they despise us and they are working against us.

01:44:32.240 It's not like what just what they believe.

01:44:34.260 It's what they do.

01:44:36.080 Verizon is a phone company that is spending all kinds of money helping Planned Parenthood.

01:44:42.860 No, thank you.

01:44:44.460 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative phone provider, and they are on the front lines fighting.

01:44:50.720 Plus, they have exceptional service.

01:44:53.940 They're on the same cell towers as everybody else.

01:44:56.320 They have plans to fit any budget.

01:45:40.540 Today, we started with the Bastille celebration that happened at the French Embassy.

01:45:49.040 And we sent two guys in dresses.

01:45:55.260 So that was exciting.

01:45:57.420 We talked about that.

01:45:58.340 We also talked about the idea of a Good Samaritan.

01:46:01.940 The press, Good Samaritan, is actually trending right now on Twitter.

01:46:06.700 Because so many people on the left say that a Good Samaritan wouldn't shoot someone.

01:46:14.540 This is in reference to the mall shooting that was happening yesterday.

01:46:18.340 The guy shot about 20 rounds.

01:46:21.620 And somebody in the food court at this mall had a gun, pulled it out, and shot and killed him before he killed more.

01:46:31.680 So four dead, including him, total.

01:46:34.820 Well, he was called a Good Samaritan.

01:46:37.420 No, say those Bible thumpers on the left.

01:46:42.560 That's not a Good Samaritan.

01:46:44.240 A Good Samaritan would never kill someone.

01:46:46.200 So I wanted to reach out, because maybe I misunderstood the whole idea of the Good Samaritan.

01:46:53.300 Todd Wagner is the former pastor of the Watermark Community Church.

01:46:59.480 He is, I think, I've called him once America's pastor.

01:47:04.820 He is cut from the same cloth as those founding pastors.

01:47:08.860 He doesn't just leave the Bible out there to hang.

01:47:12.640 He actually shows you how it relates to today's world and our lives.

01:47:17.480 You can follow him on Twitter at WordsFromWags.

01:47:21.600 Todd, welcome to the program.

01:47:23.100 How are you, sir?

01:47:23.960 Glenn, it is great to hear your voice.

01:47:26.560 And I really appreciate your desire to help people reflect on and think about what a Good Samaritan is and have this conversation.

01:47:33.400 Yeah, okay, so Todd, a Good Samaritan, for those who don't know, tell the story quickly,

01:47:42.160 and then let's get into would this Samaritan kill somebody if their lives were threatened?

01:47:51.580 Okay, well, let's walk through this real quick.

01:47:54.600 So the story comes in Luke chapter 10.

01:47:56.700 If you have a Bible, I'd encourage you to go read it.

01:47:58.300 And it actually comes right after Jesus having some interactions that are, frankly, pretty awkward with leaders in his society.

01:48:05.780 And the premise of the story of the Good Samaritan was somebody who was trying to kind of bring peace to chaos and controversy based on some things that Jesus was saying,

01:48:16.300 just confronting people in the way they were interpreting the Scripture.

01:48:19.180 And somebody then said, wishing to justify himself.

01:48:23.520 This Pharisee said to Jesus, who is my neighbor?

01:48:25.980 And then Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan.

01:48:28.300 So let me just do this real quick, Glenn, because most people miss this.

01:48:31.000 I'm going to tell you the purpose of the Good Samaritan story was really Jesus used an example of a person that, to a Jew,

01:48:39.260 some of the hated people in the world were the Samaritans.

01:48:42.940 And so to put the adjective good before Samaritan was just unspeakable and unthinkable.

01:48:47.980 It would be like a good terrorist if you said that on September 12, 2000.

01:48:52.580 Right?

01:48:53.040 You just wouldn't even say that.

01:48:54.200 And what Jesus does is he goes out of his way to say, hey, let me just tell you, you want to justify yourself?

01:48:59.360 There is no way that you can do anything through your own good works to justify yourself.

01:49:04.600 And he tells this crazy story about a guy who didn't just help somebody who was beaten up by robbers and left in a ditch,

01:49:09.700 but a man who goes through extreme personal sacrifice and significant amount of resource.

01:49:16.780 What he does is so exceedingly and abundantly beyond what anybody would do to help somebody in a crisis,

01:49:22.260 that anybody who hears the story of the Good Samaritan would say, well, who would do that?

01:49:27.420 There's no way I'm that good.

01:49:28.680 Jesus is actually telling the story of the Good Samaritan to tell people that you can never be good enough to earn your way into heaven.

01:49:35.860 But what he is telling people is you do have a responsibility to care for others.

01:49:41.280 And nobody does that as well as we should.

01:49:43.520 In fact, if you want to know the truth, the only really, quote, unquote, the hero of the Good Samaritan story is Jesus.

01:49:48.280 He's the one that, though he was rich, for our sake became poor, that through his poverty we might become rich.

01:49:54.020 Now, here's the question of the day.

01:49:55.160 Should we use the term Good Samaritan of this individual who lawfully carrying, I think,

01:50:03.400 didn't Indiana just a couple of weeks ago allow concealed carry to happen?

01:50:08.220 Yeah, he was carrying it legally and lawfully.

01:50:11.080 Yeah.

01:50:11.580 And honestly, I'm just going to be truthful with you.

01:50:15.260 I don't care if he was carrying it unlawfully.

01:50:17.020 And he saved the life of my family who was in that food court, I'd have been grateful.

01:50:21.360 But the fact is, Indiana, I think, did just allow the concealed carry, you know, law to pass.

01:50:27.460 And because of that, an obviously unwell individual, a mentally ill individual who went into a food court and sought to destroy and care people,

01:50:35.780 had somebody there who did not consider himself more important than others,

01:50:41.340 put himself at risk by engaging this mentally ill person and, thankfully, stopped him from doing more evil.

01:50:47.680 So let me just say, I don't know if the Good Samaritans is the right story to even talk about here, but I would just say this.

01:50:53.900 This was a good man who stopped evil.

01:50:56.580 Good men stop evil.

01:50:57.820 You and I both are fans of the Founding Father and the men that influenced them.

01:51:02.060 And the great quote by Edmund Burke from England is very, very true,

01:51:05.620 that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

01:51:09.700 And this good man did something.

01:51:12.660 And, you know, let me give you some other scriptures that I think would inform us that we can be thankful for this guy.

01:51:17.960 Go ahead.

01:51:18.900 Hang on, because I have another question, and you would probably be best to answer it.

01:51:23.260 It's my understanding.

01:51:24.400 I think he should be called not a Good Samaritan, but a peacemaker.

01:51:27.880 But they would have a problem with that.

01:51:29.840 But if I have this right, and you can confirm or deny this, maybe I have it wrong,

01:51:36.260 but in Hebrew, shalom, peace, that is, that is, shalom is peace by crushing the head that creates chaos.

01:51:49.460 So by destroying the head of chaos, you are actually a peacemaker.

01:51:56.480 So I think this guy should be called a peacemaker.

01:51:58.840 Well, I don't have any problem with that.

01:52:02.120 I mean, he did limit evil.

01:52:04.480 And some people are going to say, hey, a Good Samaritan saved somebody who had been beaten by evil men.

01:52:10.900 He didn't kill somebody who was evil.

01:52:13.840 I'll be honest.

01:52:15.000 We don't know this.

01:52:15.700 That's the argument from silence.

01:52:16.760 Jesus is telling a story, again, I think, to establish that no man can establish his own righteousness,

01:52:21.920 but that there are things that righteous men do.

01:52:24.060 But more than that, I think that what righteous men do is they put down evil.

01:52:28.380 That's what the Proverbs says.

01:52:29.440 Deliver those who are being taken away to death and those who are staggering to slaughter.

01:52:32.900 Hold them back.

01:52:33.900 If you see trouble happening and you run away because you care more for your life than for others,

01:52:38.720 that's not what heroes do.

01:52:41.500 It's not what peacemakers do.

01:52:43.340 We have to go to war against evil.

01:52:48.460 And sometimes that means we put ourselves at risk.

01:52:50.720 I just, you know, when you said peacemaker, I just thought, I believe the gun that ruled the West in the old days was called a peacemaker.

01:53:03.860 How could you possibly make a weapon of war?

01:53:06.860 Yeah.

01:53:07.540 Yeah.

01:53:08.120 That's right.

01:53:08.380 That's what we call our officers, peacemakers.

01:53:10.840 That's right.

01:53:11.220 And let me just say this again.

01:53:13.420 What's going on is that everybody is so, we have a country that has lost its way, right?

01:53:19.520 Let's just quote another founding father.

01:53:21.080 Our constitution, Adam said, is not made for an immoral and irreligious people.

01:53:25.560 And so what's happening is our country becomes increasingly immoral and irreligious.

01:53:30.520 Is we start to, we want solutions.

01:53:34.740 And what people will do is they'll give away their freedoms thinking it's going to be a solution.

01:53:39.740 But they have not thought through this.

01:53:41.720 Our founders know.

01:53:42.780 I mean, our Bible teaches that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, which is why we have to have checks and balances.

01:53:48.660 And a government big enough to give you everything you want, quote unquote peace, is a government to take away everything that you have.

01:53:54.360 And we cannot keep giving away our freedoms.

01:53:57.260 We don't have a gun problem.

01:53:58.480 We have a sin problem.

01:53:59.480 It's amazing to me that we are looking at this issue and people can't see that when a group of people don't self-regulate because they don't answer to anybody and they just stand on rights and no responsibilities at all, we're done.

01:54:23.860 I was talking earlier this morning that, you know, it was Jimmy Carter that gave us the phrase of first responder.

01:54:30.960 He's the one who popularized it.

01:54:33.460 We are the first responders.

01:54:35.660 That is the point of our country.

01:54:38.360 We are in charge of ourselves, our family homes.

01:54:42.600 We then give and loan some of these rights to our city and state and federal government that belong to us, but we just don't have the time to do all of these things to protect these rights.

01:54:56.560 We're the first responders, and we've completely lost that.

01:55:00.280 We have no self-regulation and nobody who is going to say, hey, knock it off.

01:55:05.400 You're exactly right, and that's why, Glenn, one of the things I appreciate about your show is you're not just doing commentary, but you remind people that our problem is a hard problem.

01:55:15.140 And the only thing that will make people open to tyranny is fear and chaos, and it's why our Lord's most spoken words were fear not.

01:55:21.260 And he wants to bring shalom.

01:55:22.860 He wants to step on the head of the serpent, and what's going to step on the head of the serpent is not disarming all men.

01:55:28.640 It's going to be stepping on the sin which rules in our hearts, and that's why Jesus said, come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened.

01:55:35.040 It doesn't say run to Congress and make more laws.

01:55:38.540 We're going to have to, and we are.

01:55:40.700 We're going to continue to give away freedoms if we don't learn to self-regulate.

01:55:45.200 And so to your point, Glenn, our job, it's why the very first thing, you brought up shalom with great Hebrew words, so let's talk about the very first thing a good young Jewish child learns, which is the shema, which says,

01:55:58.540 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might, and the words that I'm commanding you shall be on your heart, and you shall teach them diligently to your sons.

01:56:09.300 And talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk in the way and when you lie down and rise up.

01:56:13.560 And we have failed to do that.

01:56:14.980 And because of that, we have individuals that are rising up and using guns to do evil, cars to do evil, bombs to do evil, and what we cannot do is take away the ability of good people to counteract that evil with free speech and with, when necessary, put them down.

01:56:33.240 I think that good Samaritan, this is me speculating, had he shown up when those robbers were beating that guy in a ditch, I think he would have engaged them.

01:56:42.520 And that's exactly what that guy did.

01:56:44.080 Yeah.

01:56:45.520 Yeah.

01:56:48.540 We're talking to Todd Wagner.

01:56:51.220 Todd, I want to ask you one last question, because I subscribe to Words from Wags.

01:56:58.420 So I see you, and I see the lessons that you're teaching, and I so appreciate them.

01:57:04.560 But you are kind of outside of a church now.

01:57:08.660 You're kind of doing your own thing.

01:57:10.500 And I think our churches have really let us down.

01:57:16.960 There's a movement coming, and a movement already here, an awakening that is beginning.

01:57:23.680 But it seems as though many of our churches are asleep at the switch, and they're afraid.

01:57:30.980 Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

01:57:34.040 I've said this often.

01:57:35.000 I was asked to speak somewhere, and I was asked to speak on the topic of the greatest evil in America, Glenn.

01:57:39.060 And I don't think it's the progressive left.

01:57:40.860 I don't think it's the pro-choice movement.

01:57:42.480 I don't think it's the confused transgender community.

01:57:46.840 I think it's a weak and feckless church who has stopped loving people.

01:57:51.440 They stopped preaching the truth of God's Word.

01:57:54.240 I was so discouraged.

01:57:55.120 I did a deal called Real Truth Real Quick, and one of the things I was going to do this morning when I heard you wanted to talk was go back and watch a Real Truth Real Quick idea on Should a Christian Have a Concealed Handgun License?

01:58:06.480 And the individuals at the place, the church that I used to be at, apparently, that helped me produce that, decided that that was no longer worth having up and took it down.

01:58:15.220 Now, you know, there are others they've left up, thankfully, but I don't know why they took that one down.

01:58:20.600 Hopefully, they'll hear this and put it back up, because I try and give biblical solutions to real-world problems.

01:58:26.700 You should recut it.

01:58:29.700 Yeah, I will.

01:58:30.400 I will.

01:58:30.820 I probably need to go back and recut a number of them.

01:58:34.460 Luckily, you know, there are other ones that are still up that are helpful and that even speak, you know, the topic that we're talking about today.

01:58:42.180 But, Glenn, I just really appreciate what you're doing.

01:58:44.480 And I'm glad folks are listening to you.

01:58:46.300 We can't grow weary in doing good people.

01:58:48.280 We've got to continue to speak the truth in love.

01:58:50.360 And I do think that we have a problem in the church, and our pulpits have got to get back in the game.

01:58:56.360 Todd Wagner, former pastor of Watermark Community Church.

01:59:00.040 You can follow him on Twitter, WordsFromWags.

01:59:05.020 Thank you so much, Don.

01:59:05.940 I appreciate it.

01:59:06.540 God bless you.

01:59:07.840 Glenn, great to reconnect.

01:59:08.720 Have a great day.

01:59:10.520 Thanks.

01:59:12.140 Back in just a second.

01:59:13.180 Dennis Black walked into my office.

01:59:16.120 He's a naturopathic doctor.

01:59:18.840 And he walked into my office and he said, I think I can really help your dog eat.

01:59:26.340 And I'm like, is this the rough green stuff?

01:59:29.540 Because we had been advertising rough greens.

01:59:31.800 And I said, I haven't tried it with my dog yet.

01:59:34.260 And he said, would you just try it?

01:59:36.940 He said, I think you're going to see a big difference in your dog.

01:59:39.320 And he said, you know, and he'll eat.

01:59:43.220 And that was the hardest thing.

01:59:45.560 Uno could, I mean, he just would not eat.

01:59:48.700 Wouldn't eat.

01:59:49.500 You had to hand feed him.

01:59:51.560 It was awful.

01:59:53.040 And we tried everything.

01:59:55.920 Dr. Black was exactly right.

01:59:58.820 He changed our lives as a family.

02:00:01.120 And he changed my dog, Uno.

02:00:03.560 And Uno is happier and healthier than I think he's ever been.

02:00:08.620 It's rough greens.

02:00:09.800 It's not a dog food.

02:00:10.900 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the dog food.

02:00:13.280 Chock full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics, antioxidants.

02:00:16.440 You name it.

02:00:17.280 If it's healthy for your dog, it's in there.

02:00:19.260 The folks at rough greens are so confident your dog, your dog is going to love it.

02:00:23.260 They have a special deal.

02:00:36.200 So it's free.

02:00:37.460 You just pay for shipping.

02:01:03.140 Oh, man.

02:01:05.300 Somebody who has been nominated now for NCAA woman of the year.

02:01:11.600 Right.

02:01:12.380 Leah.

02:01:13.200 Leah Thomas.

02:01:14.040 Thomas Thompson.

02:01:15.400 Leah Thomas.

02:01:16.260 I didn't know this until today, but Leah went back.

02:01:21.380 I don't want to dead name Leah.

02:01:23.220 So I'm not going to say don't do that.

02:01:25.460 Don't do it.

02:01:25.960 No.

02:01:26.440 But when Leah was a biological male, Leah was ranked as the four hundred sixty second best

02:01:33.980 male swimmer in college.
