00:02:33.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:40.120 Hello, America.

00:02:41.600 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:43.340 We're very glad that you're here.

00:02:44.840 Uh, I want to give you a perspective because this is the last broadcast of the full day of this administration.

00:02:53.540 And I think we're at the end of an era beginning of a new era.

00:02:57.420 And I want to put that in perspective in 60 seconds.

00:03:00.520 First, it's kind of been terrifying the past several months, at least when it comes to the summer blockbuster level disasters from wildfires to hurricanes.

00:03:08.640 Sea to shining sea to shining sea and not just the danger that nature and mismanagement can bring.

00:03:14.800 But also today we have news about China.

00:03:17.220 Their economy is collapsing.

00:03:19.020 We're going to get Carol Roth on in about an hour and she's going to give us all of the details on what that means exactly.

00:03:25.400 But one of the things that it could mean is a real disruption in our medication.

00:03:32.440 Uh, you don't want that.

00:03:34.200 They make 80 or 90 percent of all of our generic medication.

00:03:38.640 That's not good.

00:03:40.060 Get the JACE case. 0.52

00:03:42.960 Simple, reliable emergency supply of life-saving medications to put the control in your hands.

00:03:58.060 This one is very low entry and maximum impact in your life.

00:04:25.360 All right.

00:04:27.480 Good morning, Stu.

00:04:28.320 How are you?

00:04:28.960 Three days, Glenn.

00:04:29.980 Three days.

00:04:30.560 Three days.

00:04:32.100 Until the fundamental transformation of America.

00:04:34.940 Yeah.

00:04:35.320 Yeah.

00:04:35.580 No more of this guy.

00:04:36.640 No more of her.

00:04:37.580 No more of them.

00:04:38.700 Uh, I, you know, but I think it's a lot bigger than that.

00:04:41.200 I was thinking about this, uh, today when I was driving in.

00:04:44.560 That, um, this administration exiting is not just another exit, you know, exit of a president.

00:04:51.620 It's not the same.

00:04:53.420 Um, and it, it wasn't like this in 16, although we hoped it would be, but it is this time because

00:05:01.180 the people and the feeling in the country, even among Democrats is different.

00:05:06.620 Now we're about to turn the page and enter a new app, uh, a new era or a new chapter.

00:05:13.580 Um, we're really standing on the edge.

00:05:16.540 Monday is a moment far larger than politics, but it's only the beginning.

00:05:21.080 It's not just the end of a presidency, not the changing of the guard.

00:05:26.640 It is truly the end of an era, an era marked by madness, by confusion, by division, distortion,

00:05:35.780 a deafening cacophony of chaos.

00:05:38.600 All of that has drowned out reason and common sense.

00:05:44.240 And it, you know, it didn't, it didn't start yesterday.

00:05:48.880 Anyway, as much as the left tried to make this all about words by twisting, meaning, redefining

00:05:56.980 words, or using words in ways, quite honestly, to use their words and miss, dis or mal information.

00:06:03.660 This era is not going to be remembered by the words, but by the actions of those who spoke

00:06:11.240 the millions of those meaningless words.

00:06:14.220 We can see right now the destruction of our economy, our security, that in, in really, really

00:06:24.020 clear terms in the homes and the hearths of California, that it is the actions of people

00:06:31.000 that matter more than simple words by their, by their fruits, ye shall know them.

00:06:40.320 The fruit of this tree is rotted and people now are beginning to see that.

00:06:48.040 Now, like I said, this didn't begin four years ago.

00:06:51.800 It turned it up to volume number 10, but this has been brewing for decades.

00:07:00.420 It has been in our institutions far longer than any of us realize.

00:07:04.780 Metastasizing, metastasizing in our culture, our institutions, and our hearts and hardening

00:07:13.660 our hearts.

00:07:15.420 It is an era that we leave on Monday that put truth itself on trial.

00:07:23.120 Can you even define what truth is anymore?

00:07:27.000 We, we, we went into this place that was so absurd, we couldn't define something as fundamental

00:07:35.820 and self-evident as, can you tell me what a woman is? 1.00

00:07:41.760 Historians are going to look back on this last era that we're now leaving as pure madness.

00:07:48.320 But it's also a time when it took everything in people to question the powerful mob, to speak

00:08:00.160 the truth that you believe it was a, it was a risk that at first far too many people wouldn't

00:08:08.140 do because they were afraid of being shouted down counts, counts, canceled, or much, much

00:08:13.400 worse.

00:08:14.340 Common decency, the once unspoken bond that united us was thrown out the window.

00:08:22.440 It became not only unfashionable, but absolutely unrecognizable.

00:08:27.880 And everybody was at each other's throats.

00:08:29.960 Common sense, our old friend just dismissed, exiled seemingly to the fringes of our society

00:08:36.820 as if it were dangerous now, or just wildly outdated.

00:08:40.580 And we know that we didn't know that yesterday, but we know that today.

00:08:44.840 And I mean, literally yesterday, how many words changed?

00:08:48.600 How many things, concepts, huge truths that we knew we would wake up one day and it was

00:08:54.840 completely being dismissed.

00:08:57.760 And you'd be like, where did this come from?

00:09:00.040 We're leaving a time of breathtaking hypocrisy, where those who deny corruption themselves

00:09:11.260 take bribes from hostile nations, where the righteous call for unity while sowing division.

00:09:18.140 This era, racism has been repackaged and sold back to us under the guise of anti-racism.

00:09:25.680 Hatred, we're told, is perfectly fine as long as it's aimed at the right people.

00:09:33.240 And those right people may be the wrong people tomorrow.

00:09:39.340 Faith in God has been replaced by faith in climate models, sexuality, identity.

00:09:45.440 In this last era that we're now getting ready to leave, all of those religions had their 1.00

00:09:53.620 own dogmas, their high priest, their rituals, and above all, their lack of forgiveness.

00:10:01.060 Meaning that they were anti-Christ teachings.

00:10:04.960 But somehow or another, many of our churches embrace them as the message of Christ.

00:10:12.180 There cannot be Christ in any message that doesn't include forgiveness.

00:10:18.620 But this isn't where the story ends.

00:10:20.780 We thought before this election, this might be where our story ends.

00:10:28.020 But here is the really unbelievable news.

00:10:31.880 God stepped in, and if you don't recognize that, there is no hope for us.

00:10:38.100 God stepped in and did something none of us could do.

00:10:42.400 First of all, he saved the president's life twice.

00:10:46.200 And if you think that was a secret service, you're nuts.

00:10:50.580 God saved him twice.

00:10:53.440 God changed him.

00:10:55.020 And suddenly, our society is waking up.

00:11:03.320 This guy, who's not our savior, won.

00:11:08.940 And people started flocking to him and willing to take bold stands and say,

00:11:15.920 you know what?

00:11:16.440 All this crap, it's wrong.

00:11:18.800 So this is not the end of an era alone.

00:11:24.260 It's the beginning of the end of that era.

00:11:28.100 The end of unreasonable hatred of others.

00:11:31.260 Not because they look different.

00:11:33.840 But simply because they voted differently.

00:11:37.000 They didn't think differently.

00:11:38.720 You know, it was nothing about actual diversity.

00:11:43.160 It was all about voting.

00:11:45.440 It's the end of unquestioning obedience to the so-called media and experts who demand that

00:11:55.220 we follow them without question into the slaughterhouse, hoping, I guess, hoping against hope,

00:12:01.840 many of us, that if we would just comply, our turn on the chopping block would never come.

00:12:07.020 It's the end of the era of my body, my choice in everything, in everything else other than killing your baby.

00:12:18.120 You can kill your baby, my body, my choice. 0.99

00:12:21.340 Well, it's not your body that's being killed.

00:12:23.480 It's the baby's body.

00:12:24.660 Made no sense.

00:12:26.600 But boy, oh boy.

00:12:27.780 Not with masks, not with vaccines, not with the basic right to just use your legs and leave your home.

00:12:39.980 It's an end of an era where we have to ask ourselves, whose side is this government on?

00:12:48.060 Who is actually running this thing?

00:12:50.960 What is the actual plan that our leaders have?

00:12:54.220 How is this helping the average American?

00:12:59.780 Who is actually the president?

00:13:03.080 That ends on Monday.

00:13:06.480 It's the beginning of the end.

00:13:08.980 There's a lot of work to do.

00:13:11.500 But it's the beginning of the end of diversity twisted into a weapon where diversity of thought, values, and spirit

00:13:18.300 were just disregarded, replaced by a narrow, suffocating dogma that demanded conformity in all ways.

00:13:27.520 Even if you were conforming yesterday, and then somehow or another through the ether,

00:13:32.860 the mob decided what was true yesterday is no longer true today,

00:13:37.440 the mob would get you on anything you disagreed with.

00:13:42.780 It's the end of the era where dissent was met not with debate,

00:13:50.140 but with just now meaningless labels, racist, fascist, bigot.

00:13:58.500 I think it's really important that all of us recognize this is not about Democrats.

00:14:03.340 There are a lot of Democrats that actually woke up.

00:14:10.460 It's not about Democrats.

00:14:11.920 It's not about Republicans.

00:14:13.200 I think both of them stink, quite honestly.

00:14:15.360 I do.

00:14:15.780 And that's the message of this new administration.

00:14:18.740 And you see it with the diversity of people that are actually in this administration.

00:14:24.360 We don't agree in lockstep on everything.

00:14:27.760 Far from it.

00:14:28.620 The establishment and the Democrats and the Republicans do.

00:14:34.360 But this isn't about Democrat, Republicans, liberals, conservative, independent.

00:14:39.180 This is truly about something much, much deeper that begins Monday.

00:14:47.200 It's older and far more grander than a political party.

00:14:52.160 It is truly about the rebirth or the rediscovering of what it truly means to be free.

00:15:03.460 Monday marks the rebirth of something absolutely extraordinary.

00:15:10.640 Things we used to find self-evident.

00:15:12.600 The freedoms guaranteed just in our First Amendment.

00:15:16.080 The freedom to question our government.

00:15:18.780 They work for us.

00:15:20.160 We don't work for them.

00:15:21.040 The freedom to speak our mind.

00:15:25.580 Even the most unpleasant and disruptive things you are allowed to say.

00:15:31.660 The freedom to worship.

00:15:34.960 To live out your beliefs.

00:15:37.420 To be who you are without demanding that others speak, affirm, or even accept your truth.

00:15:45.400 You know, the one thing that we have forgotten in this last era that I hope we are remembering is that this nation wasn't built by people who all walked in lockstep.

00:15:56.680 They didn't agree on everything.

00:15:57.800 In fact, far from it.

00:15:59.540 It was built by people who often vehemently disagreed on the right path forward.

00:16:04.920 But they shared the common commitment to respecting each other's rights and fulfilling their own responsibilities.

00:16:13.820 It was built on the idea that disagreement, when handled with humility and respect, makes us stronger, not weaker.

00:16:23.840 Diversity of thought is important.

00:16:27.760 Diversity of skin color doesn't matter. 1.00

00:16:31.300 And so, as we say farewell to an era of absolute chaos.

00:16:39.180 It's really important that we don't say goodbye in anger or bitterness, and that is hard.

00:16:48.340 We can't alienate our neighbors or assume the worst of those who see the world differently if we agree on the rebirth of the Bill of Rights and each responsibility that is tied to those rights.

00:17:04.640 Monday, I hope we recognize that this is an end of an era this weekend, and Monday is an invitation to rebuild, to restore, to renew an era, a golden era, an era that is dawning just in front of all of us.

00:17:27.740 And it belongs to all of us, not just those who won an election or share my view or your view.

00:17:33.960 It's an era that can only succeed if we remember the lessons of the past and commit to something better, to restore hope, not just in our institutions, but in each other.

00:17:45.620 Renew our faith, not just in God, though that's vital, but also in the idea that people, flawed though they are, can be capable of incredible good.

00:17:55.640 Seek restoration, not just in our economy and our government, but of our hearts, of our communities, of our families, our shared understanding of what it means to be human and to be free.

00:18:14.420 This weekend, I want you to bid farewell to all of the chaos.

00:18:19.540 It's the beginning of the end.

00:18:21.620 There will be more chaos as we go.

00:18:23.540 But as we lay it down, leave it behind, walk forward, leave your fear behind, walk in courage, not in hatred, but in love, because the truth is this country has faced darker days than these.

00:18:39.140 I didn't think we'd make it here, gang.

00:18:41.900 But every time this country seems to find the light just at the end.

00:18:47.600 And we found it.

00:18:50.860 But it's just flickering, still so fragile in mighty gusts of wind.

00:18:57.200 But what will happen is not because of a president or Congress or a court.

00:19:04.760 It will all happen because of you.

00:19:08.640 So don't wait for anybody else.

00:19:10.780 Lead the way.

00:19:12.820 Be the one who chooses faith over fear, courage over conformity, love over hatred.

00:19:18.440 Let's be the ones who our words are meaningless, but our action speaks volumes.

00:19:25.200 The one that shows the world that freedom actually works, not because it's easy, but because it is right.

00:19:33.160 When frequent pain has you backed up against the ropes, our sponsor, Relief Factor, is there.

00:19:42.060 It's time to come out swinging.

00:19:43.880 When I was dealing with some of the worst and most frequent pain in my life, that meant taking Relief Factor.

00:19:49.320 And to say it worked for me is an understatement.

00:19:52.260 I got my life back, and I really, I wouldn't have taken this stuff.

00:19:56.200 I'm probably so much like you.

00:19:58.060 You're like, yeah, yeah, it's not going to work.

00:19:59.420 My wife made me take it, and I did, and I was shocked.

00:20:04.480 I denied it, you know, for like the first couple of weeks.

00:20:06.720 I'm like, yeah, I'm feeling better, but it's just me feeling better.

00:20:10.200 And then after three weeks, I stopped taking it.

00:20:12.180 I'm like, okay, all right, maybe it wasn't just me feeling better.

00:20:16.960 If you're living with pain, do yourself a huge favor and give it a try.

00:20:20.580 It's a daily supplement that helps fight pain by fighting inflammation.

00:20:24.300 It's not something you take when you have a headache.

00:20:54.980 That's relieffactor.com.

00:20:57.140 Ten seconds.

00:20:57.900 Station ID.

00:21:10.940 You seem optimistic.

00:21:12.700 I am optimistic.

00:21:13.520 At the same time, I asked my security, I said, what do you think the odds are of something

00:21:19.060 happening at the inauguration that's really bad?

00:21:23.540 And he said, I can't say just the inauguration, something happening bad in Washington, 50-50.

00:21:29.900 And I was like, oh, okay.

00:21:31.480 Like, it might have nothing to do with inauguration.

00:21:33.000 You might just get mugged.

00:21:33.840 Yeah.

00:21:34.180 Right?

00:21:34.640 Yeah.

00:21:34.880 I'm like, wow, those are a lot higher than I thought it would be.

00:21:39.020 So I'm optimistic, but I'm optimistic because I'm seeing great changes.

00:21:45.000 There is something coming that is good.

00:21:48.480 And I would have described it as Jesus is coming.

00:21:51.560 And it might still be that, but there is a change coming.

00:21:58.660 We are not just at the end of this era of chaos.

00:22:03.480 I think we're at the end of the era of dismissing God and spirituality and everything else in

00:22:14.100 favor of just cold, hard facts and science and experts.

00:22:18.060 I think there's a, and I hope we don't overcorrect too much, but if science can restore itself,

00:22:25.760 science, to me, science and faith walk hand in hand.

00:22:29.240 God's a mathematician, the best mathematician.

00:22:31.720 He's not changing math to save us.

00:22:35.780 He's, he changes us to save ourselves.

00:22:39.300 You know what I mean?

00:22:40.520 Yeah, I think so.

00:22:41.720 I mean, he set up a very precise system.

00:22:44.960 Yes.

00:22:45.780 And he does typically work within it.

00:22:48.020 Yes.

00:22:48.500 Which is, which is something that's, you know, usually those things work together.

00:22:52.100 I feel like.

00:22:52.880 I think so too.

00:22:53.860 I think so too.

00:22:54.820 I never feel like, oh, well, gosh, the science is disagreeing with God.

00:22:59.280 Right.

00:22:59.820 It tends to work together.

00:23:01.180 But this is, this is also just about boring earthly things too.

00:23:05.220 I mean, things are going to get better.

00:23:06.840 Hopefully.

00:23:07.480 Yeah.

00:23:07.780 I just, every time I think that they don't.

00:23:09.560 So I'm kind of going the other way.

00:23:12.240 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:14.580 It's like I vote for Jesus, but every time I say who I'm voting for, it doesn't work out.

00:23:19.440 Is that what you're saying?

00:23:21.060 Lear Capital.

00:23:23.100 Look, if Donald Trump reignites the economy in the coming months and, you know, I don't

00:23:28.060 know if you heard his treasury secretary yesterday.

00:23:30.000 He's got plans to do it.

00:23:31.420 The price of one commodity oil could go way down dramatically, and that will reduce everybody's

00:23:37.640 cost of living.

00:23:38.720 I'm looking forward to that.

00:23:40.160 I don't know about you, but which commodity would skyrocket in price?

00:23:46.140 Silver.

00:23:46.580 Silver is an industrial metal, which means it's used in all sorts of electronics, cell

00:23:51.760 phones, TVs, computers.

00:23:53.220 All of these things require more and more silver.

00:23:56.620 And if the economy booms, the demand for all of those items is going to increase.

00:24:01.560 That's why this year, Investing Haven predicts silver will test its former all-time high of

00:24:07.380 $50 an ounce by moving up to $77 an ounce by the end of this term.

00:24:13.060 That's a 140% increase over three years.

00:24:17.220 Investment?

00:24:18.160 Yeah.

00:24:18.780 Also gold.

00:24:20.060 Protect yourself against a falling dollar.

00:24:22.580 800-957-GOLD.

00:24:24.280 800-957-GOLD.

00:24:27.200 Call them now.

00:24:29.660 Blaze TV's live inauguration coverage on Monday, starting at 11 a.m. Eastern.

00:24:33.960 where you can get $47 off an annual subscription with the promo code GLENN47.

00:24:56.420 Monday, 11 a.m. Eastern.

00:24:59.540 It will, we will simulcast with this podcast, but the Blaze coverage begins at 11 a.m.

00:25:08.420 right in the heart of the nation's capital.

00:25:10.880 We are ushering in the new era, a golden age with Donald J. Trump's second inauguration.

00:25:16.960 Boy, is it different than the last one?

00:25:21.020 It does feel different.

00:25:22.240 We mentioned this the other day that his speech in 2016 was the American Carnage speech.

00:25:26.320 Right.

00:25:26.580 It was known as, or it was 2017.

00:25:27.660 This is going to be a golden era speech.

00:25:28.900 Yeah, I think it's going to be much more hopeful and optimistic, and there's a, I'm

00:25:32.900 a little worried that we're getting too optimistic, but I don't know, man.

00:25:37.060 I hope so.

00:25:38.100 Have you looked at the, I mean, you've watched them with me all week, the testimony in Congress

00:25:43.840 with all the people, they are just rock solid.

00:25:46.320 They're like, yeah, Senator, you sound like a hypocrite, and we're not going to do what

00:25:51.540 you say.

00:25:52.420 It's definitely a different build of an administration.

00:25:55.020 It is.

00:25:55.340 And just, you know, watching all the coverage on Monday and, you know, entering into this

00:26:01.460 new era, this is the one, like 2017, it felt like there were still excuses, right?

00:26:06.640 Like, you know, he's still learning the way he's talked about it, learning how to work

00:26:10.300 the system.

00:26:11.020 He doesn't have that now.

00:26:12.080 He's going in with the full knowledge.

00:26:14.500 Right.

00:26:14.580 So this should be, I mean, my hopes are high, which always makes me nervous.

00:26:19.420 Yeah.

00:26:19.980 Well, we're going to be right just past the bridge that the Kennedy funeral happened right

00:26:26.480 behind the Lincoln Memorial.

00:26:29.540 And so we'll be broadcasting from there.

00:26:31.820 Stu and I will be there Monday along with several guests taking us through what is going

00:26:37.760 to happen on that day, what to expect that day, and we'll just hopefully be outside of

00:26:44.060 the mushroom cloud zone because we'll be on the other side of the river.

00:26:48.480 And depending on the size of, you know, what China decides to do, you know, or Iran or Russia

00:26:55.500 or really any of our enemies, whatever, we'll be on the other side of the river.

00:27:01.340 So we'll be the last to be vaporized.

00:27:03.660 Yeah.

00:27:03.740 You'll hear a good half second of coverage as the blast goes across the river.

00:27:07.100 Yeah.

00:27:07.560 We'll be like, oh my God.

00:27:08.920 You'll get all that coverage.

00:27:11.940 Don't look at the flap.

00:27:16.700 It's weird because, because really, I mean, there are going to be so many people there.

00:27:21.140 Did you know that Donald Trump, I'm going to go over this on Monday.

00:27:23.900 Donald Trump is not relying on the secret service.

00:27:27.860 What do you mean?

00:27:28.900 He's hired a private company.

00:27:31.120 In addition to the secret.

00:27:32.280 In addition to the secret.

00:27:33.380 Yeah.

00:27:33.600 He's not relying on the secret service.

00:27:35.800 Exclusively.

00:27:36.160 Yeah.

00:27:36.540 He's, he's got the secret service.

00:27:38.460 They're doing everything, but he has a private company.

00:27:42.280 I don't know how many agents it's massive.

00:27:45.760 And this private company is going to do additional body surf, body coverage on him.

00:27:53.700 Uh, he's appointed a head of his own personal team now outside of the secret service.

00:27:59.820 Uh, what would make him do something like that?

00:28:01.480 Is there anything?

00:28:02.220 Maybe a couple of assassination attempts.

00:28:04.400 Maybe.

00:28:04.700 Yeah.

00:28:04.980 Yeah.

00:28:05.200 Uh, but they have already gone over 48 kilometers, I think, uh, looking for bombs and everything.

00:28:15.260 I mean, he, he, he is dead serious about this.

00:28:19.520 He should be.

00:28:20.020 As I would be.

00:28:21.180 I mean.

00:28:21.860 I don't even know how the, how, how on earth can you secure, secure an event?

00:28:25.500 Like I very much can understand how you would secure a field in Pennsylvania that I can totally

00:28:32.540 understand something like this.

00:28:34.240 Yeah.

00:28:34.580 Something Washington DC.

00:28:35.680 What do you do?

00:28:36.100 Yeah.

00:28:36.340 I mean, I have, I have absolutely no idea, but they're going to have, uh, uh, not only

00:28:41.760 secret service helicopters, military helicopters, but also private, his private security helicopters

00:28:47.300 going over everything.

00:28:48.760 Double checking, absolutely everything.

00:28:50.900 They're going to be the ones that you're going to see at the metal detectors.

00:28:54.440 It won't just be secret service.

00:28:56.360 It will also be his personal team.

00:28:58.520 If you're going into one of the balls.

00:29:00.720 Uh, I mean, it's, it's quite amazing what he has done.

00:29:04.860 I have so many questions about the security.

00:29:06.700 I feel like I, we shouldn't ask any of them though.

00:29:09.420 I don't want to know any of the answers, but it's just like, I just, it seems almost impossible.

00:29:14.800 You have security experts around you all the time.

00:29:16.620 Obviously you have, you know, security, uh, on a day-to-day basis.

00:29:19.660 And these guys have secured, I mean, I've talked to some of your security guys as they're

00:29:24.820 sitting in like at the Superbowl with like the most famous people in the world, right?

00:29:30.120 Like it's that type of security.

00:29:32.240 And, uh, you know, I'm sure they, they have a plan and I'm sure there is, there are a lot

00:29:39.260 of things to look for and there's a lot of technology that's useful and there's a lot

00:29:42.680 you can do.

00:29:43.340 But man, like when you're talking about just basically opening up a city, I mean, like

00:29:47.720 how do you, how do you secure something like that?

00:29:50.100 The only thing that could even make any sense to me was when we did the, uh, the, the event

00:29:54.360 in Washington DC back in the day there, what was it called?

00:29:57.800 Restoring something.

00:29:58.620 We restored something that day.

00:30:00.380 Honor that day.

00:30:01.320 Yeah.

00:30:01.480 Uh, and it was, you know, 500,000 people there.

00:30:04.020 And it's like, you just look around and you're just like, I know our guys are doing the best

00:30:07.200 possible that they can do, but there's, how do you secure it?

00:30:11.060 It's like, you've brought an entire mid-level city onto a field.

00:30:15.000 I know.

00:30:15.420 Like, I don't, I don't know.

00:30:16.720 Yeah.

00:30:16.940 It was, it was quite intense.

00:30:18.480 Yeah.

00:30:18.780 And I remember behind the scenes, like those guys were, I mean, they were incredible.

00:30:23.440 Yeah.

00:30:23.640 But also it's just, it seems like a task that's, it's like when I take out a new piece

00:30:28.120 of furniture, the building it, putting it together, it seems like a task too difficult

00:30:31.500 to actually accomplish.

00:30:33.660 And it just teeters for the problem is, is when you have the money of the federal government,

00:30:37.620 they rely on money.

00:30:39.880 You know what I mean?

00:30:40.540 They just like throw more money at it.

00:30:41.940 Just put more people there.

00:30:42.840 Just put different machines there instead of really thinking it through.

00:30:47.780 And that's what I think private, uh, people do much better, much better because they're

00:30:52.780 using their brains.

00:30:53.900 Anyway, we're going to be there, uh, all-star cast of blaze TV's brightest political minds

00:30:59.080 beyond location for the swearing in ceremonies of our 47th president.

00:31:03.520 Allie Stuckey is going to be there.

00:31:05.180 Matthew Peterson, Chris Bedford, Steve Baker, uh, Steve, it's an important day for Steve

00:31:09.720 Baker on Monday.

00:31:10.500 Yeah, it sure is.

00:31:11.500 He's hoping for a presidential pardon.

00:31:14.200 Uh, he is the reporter at the blaze that was, uh, uh, reporting, reporting and, um, uh,

00:31:22.340 charged with what, what was he charged?

00:31:24.120 It wasn't just parading.

00:31:25.480 It was like, yeah, I don't remember the exact charges, but he was, he was basically just,

00:31:30.320 I mean, he is literally on video for every second he's inside the Capitol.

00:31:33.660 He is reporting a hundred percent.

00:31:35.780 He's not chanting.

00:31:36.640 He's not breaking windows.

00:31:37.620 He's not hitting police officers.

00:31:38.680 Just reporting.

00:31:39.140 They charged him anyway.

00:31:40.360 Uh, the pardon, I think will come, but I mean, you don't know until he's in there and

00:31:44.840 he does it.

00:31:45.740 Uh, Julio Rosas.

00:31:47.480 I don't know how he get, why maybe he volunteers for these things, but he's going to be embedded

00:31:52.160 with the protests.

00:31:53.840 Uh, there's many protests, uh, that are planned, uh, and those could get really ugly, but he's

00:32:01.160 going to be embedded with the protest and deliver, uh, real time updates on that.

00:32:06.120 Our special coverage, uh, as a preview to blaze media live inauguration event, Monday, 11 AM.

00:32:13.280 That is the last hour of the broadcast.

00:32:15.920 So it will be a simulcast right on, on radio.

00:32:19.140 So if you're listening to this program, you'll hear it as we lead into the actual inauguration

00:32:23.180 coverage, which kind of starts right as this show ends.

00:32:26.400 So it's going to be, it's going to be intense.

00:32:28.720 I've never been to one of these before.

00:32:29.720 Have you been to a, no, never, never.

00:32:32.080 You have never been to one.

00:32:34.000 Really?

00:32:34.560 Never.

00:32:35.200 Is that because all of the previous presidents that have been elected hated your guts?

00:32:38.600 Hated my guts.

00:32:39.660 Hated my guts.

00:32:40.340 No, I've never really, I've never had a desire to go, you know, I was talking to my wife.

00:32:48.460 She was making cheese sandwiches last night and I'm like, your husband is taking you to

00:32:52.040 inaugural ball.

00:32:53.620 You're making me cheese sandwiches.

00:32:55.640 Really?

00:32:55.760 And I'm joking with her.

00:32:56.720 Really?

00:32:57.140 We can't get something a little better than a cheese sandwich.

00:32:59.860 First of all, cheese sandwiches are delicious.

00:33:01.400 Oh, she made it with, they were grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, which is unbelievable.

00:33:06.600 So anyway, I was joking with her.

00:33:07.620 And she said, she said, Ooh, the inaugural ball is mocking.

00:33:17.240 I just love her so much because she is so not impressed with anything.

00:33:22.480 I think I could be a monster if it wasn't for her just beating me down all the time, just 1.00

00:33:26.600 going, Ooh, you're impressive.

00:33:28.860 Yeah.

00:33:28.960 Oh, you talked to who today?

00:33:32.740 It's true.

00:33:33.700 And she, and she is that way and you definitely need it.

00:33:36.340 But yeah, also it is pretty cool.

00:33:38.180 No, she, we talked about that.

00:33:39.720 We were like, it is kind of cool.

00:33:41.420 It's kind of cool to be.

00:33:42.900 Yeah.

00:33:43.580 At this point, this is the only one that I've ever wanted to go to.

00:33:47.120 I mean, if I could have gone to Reagan's, I would have wanted to go to Reagan's, but

00:33:50.120 this is the only one that I, I wanted to go to because I think it is the beginning of

00:33:55.140 a new era.

00:33:55.920 This is, and it's up to us gang.

00:33:58.220 God did his part.

00:33:59.700 I can't say this enough.

00:34:01.280 God did his part.

00:34:04.040 Turning of the head.

00:34:07.040 Bullet behind.

00:34:08.060 Incredible.

00:34:08.720 I still cannot believe that.

00:34:09.440 That was a miracle.

00:34:11.240 God did his part.

00:34:13.440 The part we couldn't do.

00:34:15.400 Now the rest of it is kind of on our shoulders.

00:34:17.540 He's like, okay, I gave you another, you know, gave you another.

00:34:20.080 No pun intended.

00:34:20.940 I'm sorry.

00:34:21.340 It should be more like no pun intended.

00:34:24.180 I gave you another shot.

00:34:27.160 Okay, Joe Biden.

00:34:29.840 But, you know, it's up to us now.

00:34:33.460 And what we do with this, we have the best opportunity in my lifetime to set this up.

00:34:40.640 This right and to re-embrace truth, it's going to be hard, but it's up to us.

00:34:47.540 And I'm excited.

00:34:48.280 That's the most important thing you can do.

00:34:49.880 The second most important thing you can do is go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:34:58.900 Quite clearly one.

00:35:00.260 Right.

00:35:08.480 Wow.

00:35:08.760 I will say.

00:35:09.300 That's huge.

00:35:09.640 You know, it's, you know, it's supporting, you know, I think one of the reasons, and it's

00:35:15.900 part of the whole God picture, I think, but one of the reasons why is there, why this has

00:35:20.300 happened is there were independent media institutions that could push back against that.

00:35:24.800 And that's.

00:35:25.020 It's the media institutions that, I mean, remember when we started the blaze, everyone

00:35:29.460 said this was crazy.

00:35:31.300 It was.

00:35:32.080 And it was.

00:35:32.780 I know it was.

00:35:33.920 It's statistically crazy.

00:35:35.000 But this started the ball rolling down this road that where, you know, when I was at

00:35:39.900 TPUSA in Phoenix, all of the podcasters, all of, you know, Daily Wire and everything like

00:35:48.820 that, we were all there and we were all in the hallway.

00:35:53.060 And when I got on stage, I said, I just want you to recognize how much has changed.

00:35:59.060 Yeah.

00:35:59.840 10, 12 years ago, there was no one in that hallway.

00:36:04.240 Now that hallway has more power and a bigger, more impressive reach and credibility than all

00:36:14.120 of the mainstream media combined.

00:36:16.060 That's incredible.

00:36:18.060 Yeah, it really is.

00:36:19.460 Yeah.

00:36:19.660 It's, you know, it's the audience has made a big difference in this country.

00:36:23.820 We've, we've talked about it many, many times, but this is another way that they have.

00:36:27.680 Right.

00:36:27.980 And, uh, uh, you know, we want to keep bringing you these things and, uh, we need your support.

00:36:45.540 Good job.

00:36:45.900 Don't want to miss the coverage beginning on Monday.

00:36:49.380 Got it.

00:36:49.620 Right.

00:36:50.140 Thank you.

00:36:50.700 Good job.

00:36:51.620 That's a radio hall of fame right there.

00:36:53.900 Start.

00:36:55.160 You know, when we decided to induct Glenn Beck, it's because he could read his URL correctly

00:37:01.700 about 20% of the time.

00:37:03.960 Oh yeah.

00:37:04.160 I was going to say, if you could do it correctly, it would have been a long, you would have been

00:37:06.680 there 20 years ago.

00:37:07.880 At least I'm not, you know, go to URL on your way back from Ghana, go to URL.

00:37:17.000 Yes.

00:37:17.440 Uh, all right.

00:37:18.000 Start of the new year.

00:37:18.760 Great time to think about new types of emergency situations.

00:37:20.760 That's what I always like to do.

00:37:22.880 You know, uh, let's take some of the danger out of commission here.

00:37:27.440 Um, when you have to, well, let me tell you this story.

00:37:32.480 Burn a launcher, uh, was designed and started by a guy who was in his car and there was this

00:37:39.620 guy who was just road raging behind him.

00:37:41.740 And he tried to get away from him.

00:37:43.920 He tried to slow down and let him pass the guy wouldn't.

00:37:47.400 And so he's like, you know what?

00:37:48.500 I'm just going to pull over the side of the road and he'll pass me and blah, blah, blah.

00:37:51.580 Nope.

00:37:51.980 Nope.

00:37:52.220 The guy stopped and got out of his car.

00:37:54.720 Now that's when I get, that's when I just put my car and drive and drive away.

00:37:59.180 But he was like, okay, well, we're just going to talk it out.

00:38:01.780 And he had a gun.

00:38:03.140 He's a second amendment lover.

00:38:04.780 He had a gun in his glove box.

00:38:06.340 He went to open his glove box and he thought, no, that might end.

00:38:10.660 I'm not willing to kill this guy, you know?

00:38:13.160 And he said that was the biggest mistake of his life because the guy beat him within an

00:38:17.400 inch of his life.

00:38:18.400 He still wouldn't want to have killed him, you know, until the beating started.

00:38:21.740 Um, but he had nothing.

00:38:25.280 So he came up with the burner launcher, which is the best non-lethal alternative to safeguarding

00:38:32.660 yourself, your car, your family, your home, whatever it is.

00:38:35.880 Um, you can hit them with pepper spray or tear gas, uh, a kinetic round.

00:38:41.020 And it looks like the biggest damn gun.

00:38:43.260 When you look down the barrel of this thing, it looks enormous.

00:38:46.940 Uh, and it looks just like a gun and it's legal in all 50 States.

00:38:50.560 You don't need to have any background checks.

00:38:52.720 It's sent right directly to your home.

00:38:54.640 This guy learned from experience.

00:38:56.800 He invented this because of his experience.

00:38:59.460 Don't go through that yourself.

00:39:01.640 Have one in your glove box.

00:39:03.380 Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:39:06.460 Burna dot com slash Glenn.

00:39:11.260 You ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil?

00:39:17.040 Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female.

00:39:20.560 Than the word work.

00:39:22.860 Glenn Beck.

00:39:23.860 We'll be right back.

00:39:40.220 You know, we're just talking off air about security for the president.

00:39:43.300 And, uh, Stu just said something, you know, they've already tried it twice and, you know,

00:39:48.880 using the word they, I, I think it, uh, it has been almost a deep state kind of hypnosis

00:39:56.500 thing that made people want to kill Donald Trump.

00:39:59.600 You know, it's the media and the deep state and all the crap, the crap that they were pushing

00:40:03.840 out.

00:40:04.060 But, uh, if you look through history, um, it's either Marxist or quite honestly, people

00:40:11.560 on the Palestinian cause that shoot or try to shoot presidents.

00:40:15.800 Um, and I think, I don't know if the deep state would still be trying to, if they ever did.

00:40:25.400 Um, cause that would just be, you'd, you'd usher in things like the great society bill, except

00:40:33.100 in reverse.

00:40:33.800 You would make Donald Trump, John F Kennedy, maybe plus, plus, plus, um, because nobody

00:40:42.120 believed the conspiracy back then.

00:40:44.040 Everyone would believe the conspiracy and he was the guy trying to dismantle the state

00:40:48.080 and you're, you, the attitude, which the, the worst thing the left could do is try to

00:40:54.620 take him out from their perspective and from ours.

00:40:57.400 Yes.

00:40:57.820 But from their perspective, it would be a big backfire.

00:41:00.560 Um, that being said, I have no, no, uh, confidence at all in their ability to restrain themselves.

00:41:07.660 I mean, they've obviously shown, I hope you're wrong already that during the campaign.

00:41:12.000 Yeah, I really do hope so.

00:41:13.580 I just, I just pray that, you know, the security is there.

00:41:16.000 And yeah, I think the, I think the, the problem is, is the, uh, the lunatic fringe.

00:41:21.680 Yeah.

00:41:22.200 You know, the, the smart ones are going to go hibernate.

00:41:26.060 They're going to do what they did during, yeah, doing, during Reagan.

00:41:29.080 And that we've got to watch that because they're going to reevaluate and say, okay,

00:41:33.200 what did we miss this time?

00:41:34.780 Yeah.

00:41:34.940 And what do we build to defeat it next time?

00:41:36.860 Yep.

00:41:37.320 Yep.

00:41:37.640 Yeah.

00:41:38.500 Yeah.

00:41:38.860 You're right.

00:41:39.180 The smart left will do that.

00:41:40.420 There is that activist left.

00:41:42.720 That's crazy.

00:41:43.420 Yeah.

00:41:43.660 I don't know, man.

00:41:44.260 And, uh, scary.

00:41:45.440 If they try that, you will see, you will see, uh, a small government Republican in office

00:41:53.380 for the next 20 years and with Congress and the Senate as well.

00:41:58.640 This is Glenn Beck.

00:42:00.920 This is Glenn Beck.

00:42:30.920 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:42:53.760 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:57.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:02.020 We're glad that you're here.

00:43:03.600 Uh, thank you so much for listening.

00:43:05.260 We've got a packed show for you today.

00:43:08.240 Uh, Brad Meltzer is coming in in about an hour.

00:43:10.600 He's going to be talking about some conspiracies.

00:43:12.360 Uh, and I, I specifically want to hit the latest on, on, uh, LBJ being the killer of Kennedy.

00:43:22.700 Did you hear that tape yet, Stu?

00:43:24.640 It's crazy.

00:43:25.200 It's crazy.

00:43:26.400 Um, LGB, L, um, J, uh, Johnson, LBJ, uh, actually talking to the head at that time of the Democratic

00:43:36.480 Party about, you know, I think he went, I think he went too far, uh, Linden.

00:43:41.440 Uh, it's incredible whether it's true or not.

00:43:44.660 I, I don't know, but, uh, our good friend Brad Meltzer is part of the committee at the

00:43:51.680 National Archives.

00:43:52.440 And, and this is the kind of stuff he really thrives, uh, to talk about and thrives at

00:43:57.620 researching.

00:43:58.640 We're going to talk to him about his new book and, and, uh, and some conspiracies that may,

00:44:03.340 uh, come undone and be exposed here in the next, uh, few months.

00:44:08.400 First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, our commercial

00:44:13.540 sponsor.

00:44:14.440 Anti-Semitism is alive and well in the world, and it would be nice not to say that, but we

00:44:19.720 knew it was coming.

00:44:20.540 It always comes whenever Marxism raises its ugly head.

00:44:25.140 Um, you know, the world hasn't really, uh, gotten done experiencing the effects of the

00:44:30.180 Holocaust and actually got to a place where they're like, yes, we all know it happened. 0.93

00:44:36.680 Uh, and here we are witnessing the aftermath of another attack on the Jewish people by a group

00:44:41.440 that hates them.

00:44:42.580 That's one of the many reasons I've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians

00:44:46.540 and Jews, and we're coming up on January 27th, which is Holocaust Remembrance

00:44:50.440 Day, and the fellowship is doing their part, not only in helping to remember, but in providing

00:44:55.280 food, shelter, and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, including those remaining

00:45:00.720 Holocaust survivors.

00:45:02.260 Will you please help donate to them?

00:45:04.600 You'll be helping to provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish

00:45:08.840 communities.

00:45:09.300 In a world that holds a lot of darkness for the Jewish people, you can be part of the

00:45:14.160 light shining out from the Christian world to our brothers and sisters.

00:45:17.300 Give a gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org.

00:45:21.900 That's one word, supportifcj.org.

00:45:25.040 Or call 888-488-IFC-J.

00:45:28.060 888-488-IFC-J.

00:45:30.100 Well, you know, it's interesting to me that out of all of the things that President Biden

00:45:38.060 has done over the last few weeks, the one thing he didn't do is follow through on the

00:45:45.900 ban of TikTok.

00:45:47.700 One last favor for China. 0.91

00:45:50.440 You know, he's leaving that one for Trump.

00:45:54.100 Interesting, isn't it?

00:45:55.320 Yeah, yeah, he's not going to enforce it for the 24 hours that I guess he could enforce

00:46:01.220 it and just leave it to Trump.

00:46:02.260 Yeah, why not?

00:46:03.500 Why not?

00:46:04.380 I don't know.

00:46:05.360 I mean, what would he, I don't know what he would do exactly.

00:46:07.820 I mean, it would obviously could be, whatever he does could be changed by Trump in 24 hours.

00:46:12.740 I don't know.

00:46:13.320 But that hasn't stopped him.

00:46:15.000 No, he doesn't care.

00:46:15.640 I mean, he's been trying to undermine him.

00:46:16.700 He's like, I'm going to replace all the pictures of George Washington with Karl Marx.

00:46:21.120 I don't know.

00:46:22.020 What's your, I mean, I guess what's your current position on the TikTok thing?

00:46:25.440 Because obviously Trump has had both positions.

00:46:27.620 He wanted it banned.

00:46:28.440 Now he does not want it banned.

00:46:30.280 He's trying to reverse it.

00:46:31.480 Trump is trying everything he can to make sure this doesn't go through.

00:46:34.200 You will, by the way, if you're watching, you will see the TikTok CEO at the inauguration

00:46:38.620 in the front row.

00:46:39.980 I will tell you that I have a hard time with this ban because it's not specific enough.

00:46:47.040 All you would need to do is say anything that is owned or controlled by the Communist Party

00:46:53.780 of China or any hostile nation and get very specific.

00:46:58.700 The way it's worded is a little, has a little few too many loopholes in it.

00:47:03.880 I agree with you.

00:47:05.160 Like when you come down to the very dirty specifics of the law, it's a little weird.

00:47:11.040 You know, and I go back and forth a little bit in my own head when you go back and consider

00:47:16.100 both sides of this.

00:47:18.260 Because I don't really like the idea of the government coming in and shutting down companies,

00:47:21.440 even if they are foreign companies.

00:47:22.620 I don't like the idea that like a bunch of people, you know, despite the fact it is literally

00:47:27.540 the worst content that's ever been created, you know, a bunch of people went out and started

00:47:31.640 a job and created their dream.

00:47:33.700 And now all of a sudden, like, you know, the rug's being pulled out from under them by the

00:47:37.600 government.

00:47:37.900 I don't like that.

00:47:38.780 On the other hand, you know, the Chinese government does not have First Amendment rights. 0.90

00:47:42.420 Yeah, and they're a hostile nation.

00:47:44.380 I mean, they're a hostile nation. 0.52

00:47:45.480 If you look at Germany, IBM went into Germany.

00:47:50.940 And I mean, it is the punch card system that IBM provided that helped round up all the

00:47:56.240 Jews.

00:47:56.880 It's the reason why, when they would take a census and figure out who's where, it was IBM

00:48:03.180 that could crunch all those numbers and say, here are all the addresses of the Jews.

00:48:07.440 The book, IBM and the Holocaust.

00:48:09.160 Yeah.

00:48:09.580 You know, and we tried to stop them and they just kept skirting it.

00:48:15.000 Coca-Cola finally was said, finally told, no more Coca-Cola.

00:48:19.380 No more in Germany.

00:48:21.580 And that's not something that is, you know, political in any way.

00:48:26.220 That's not helping the Germans. 0.94

00:48:27.660 But they, I mean, and they skirted around it as well.

00:48:31.240 Do you know?

00:48:31.600 No, it's the same thing happened in Russia.

00:48:32.920 Yeah.

00:48:33.180 Like, all those companies pulled out.

00:48:34.520 And like, now there's just a bunch of places that sell hamburgers with golden arches.

00:48:37.640 No, I know.

00:48:38.320 But that's not what this is.

00:48:39.740 That when, have you ever had Fanta?

00:48:42.760 Yeah.

00:48:43.340 Okay.

00:48:43.820 Coca-Cola product, right?

00:48:45.200 Yeah.

00:48:45.800 Orange.

00:48:46.140 Do you know why Fanta exists?

00:48:49.960 I mean, I don't know.

00:48:51.300 No, I don't know.

00:48:52.060 So, Coca-Cola was told.

00:48:54.100 I wanted to talk about this once.

00:48:55.060 What is this?

00:48:55.960 They were told, shut down all your operations.

00:48:59.280 All right.

00:48:59.600 Okay.

00:49:00.360 And they have the Coca-Cola bottling companies.

00:49:03.240 All right.

00:49:03.640 And so, as they're shutting down and saying, you can't make Coke anymore, they're saying,

00:49:08.100 what do you have access to in Germany?

00:49:10.800 Give us all of the ingredients you could possibly muster en masse.

00:49:15.560 And the guys in Atlanta came up and said, oh, you can make orange soda.

00:49:20.280 So, Fanta is the Nazi drink.

00:49:23.860 Really?

00:49:24.580 It really is.

00:49:25.700 It is.

00:49:26.800 It's what Coca-Cola made.

00:49:29.900 So, the Coca-Cola bottling company would still be selling product under Nazi rule.

00:49:35.760 Should be clear.

00:49:36.200 The current Fanta is not the Nazi drink for all those people out there.

00:49:40.000 I mean, maybe because they forgot.

00:49:41.300 Maybe Nazis were like, oh, Fanta. 0.65

00:49:43.100 I forgot how much I love Fanta.

00:49:44.580 I just don't think that that's where their advertising is going these days.

00:49:47.540 No, it's not.

00:49:48.320 It's not.

00:49:48.920 Hey, Aryans, try this great orange drink.

00:49:53.500 But a lot of these companies, I mean, you've talked about many of them that have historical

00:49:56.920 basis in that conflict and did terrible things.

00:50:01.380 They're.

00:50:02.160 Yeah.

00:50:02.760 Yeah.

00:50:03.960 Was it Hugo Boss, was it, with the uniforms?

00:50:05.580 Hugo Boss made the uniforms.

00:50:06.820 Yeah.

00:50:07.340 But they're German.

00:50:08.560 Right.

00:50:09.040 It makes a little bit more sense.

00:50:10.000 So, but here's the thing.

00:50:11.860 First of all, TikTok, if you ban them, they're just going to find a way.

00:50:15.500 They'll just find a way to do it.

00:50:17.540 Yeah.

00:50:17.780 You know, it's interesting because we've talked about that.

00:50:20.320 Yeah.

00:50:20.700 They, because in theory, what this law would do was what I talked about the other day.

00:50:26.020 It would prevent you from downloading new people of downloading it from the app store.

00:50:30.420 And it would, it would prevent them from having updates, from downloading updates, but it would

00:50:34.620 still theoretically work.

00:50:36.920 What TikTok is basically threatening is we're just pulling the plug.

00:50:40.700 Like they're trying to pressure America from changing this.

00:50:44.520 So, they're saying, we're just going to turn it off completely.

00:50:46.440 You're going to go there and see a message that you can't access this.

00:50:49.220 So, the law doesn't specifically stop them.

00:50:52.440 It doesn't actually ban TikTok.

00:50:55.260 However, TikTok's essentially enforcing a ban on themselves.

00:50:59.000 Right.

00:50:59.480 Because they're trying to send a message and hoping it will change the policy.

00:51:03.000 I mean, boy, how many, how many kids and how many adults would be screaming to high heaven

00:51:11.820 if TikTok is off?

00:51:13.300 Right.

00:51:13.560 And that's what their plan is.

00:51:15.140 And right.

00:51:15.540 And that's why, that's why Joe Biden didn't turn it off.

00:51:18.960 Donald Trump doesn't want to turn it off.

00:51:20.360 No one wants to get blamed for that.

00:51:21.720 Nobody wants to get blamed.

00:51:22.540 By an entire generation.

00:51:23.680 Right.

00:51:23.800 However, this is different.

00:51:26.660 They are, I mean, first of all, they would never run the same algorithm in China.

00:51:31.200 Never.

00:51:31.680 They don't even allow the app in China.

00:51:33.140 No.

00:51:33.280 They don't even allow TikTok in China.

00:51:34.200 Well, they have a version of it.

00:51:35.600 Yes.

00:51:35.720 But it's only for positive things.

00:51:37.780 Right.

00:51:38.340 That uplift people.

00:51:40.460 And it also has a timer on it.

00:51:42.620 You use it for more than like an hour a day and it shuts off for you.

00:51:46.520 You know that?

00:51:47.160 It's amazing.

00:51:47.760 They don't let you get addicted to it.

00:51:49.500 I mean, look at what they're doing here.

00:51:51.160 All they want to do is addict our people.

00:51:52.440 I was, as I was talking about this, I was talking to just people around here and, you

00:51:55.720 know, they're just like, God, you're not going to, oh man, I don't know what's going to happen

00:51:58.860 on Sunday.

00:51:59.140 My wife, all she does all day is just scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, video after 1.00

00:52:04.300 video, after video, after video.

00:52:05.380 For, like, that is not a healthy way to build a society, boys and girls. 1.00

00:52:10.340 No, it's not.

00:52:10.600 It's really a bad idea.

00:52:13.060 But it's true.

00:52:14.340 And I think a lot of people will.

00:52:15.700 Now, look, there's plenty of other dumb entertainment out there.

00:52:19.200 Like, yeah, but it's different.

00:52:21.060 I don't know if you're like this, like I am.

00:52:23.180 It drives me nuts when I'm talking to somebody who's addicted to TikTok and they're like, look

00:52:29.180 at this.

00:52:29.500 This is funny.

00:52:30.640 Okay, you can do that once.

00:52:32.880 But then it's like five minutes later, did you know this?

00:52:36.100 Look at this.

00:52:36.940 Oh my God.

00:52:37.400 And then two minutes later, oh my gosh, look at this.

00:52:41.500 None of them are related.

00:52:43.420 All of them have to be consumed.

00:52:45.240 All of them are the most important thing of that second.

00:52:50.200 And I cannot have a conversation with you.

00:52:53.820 I can't deal with your crisis or your hilarity of.

00:52:59.680 It's constant.

00:53:00.360 Ten seconds.

00:53:00.880 Yep.

00:53:01.360 It's dipping your brain in acid.

00:53:03.920 Yes.

00:53:04.280 That's all it is.

00:53:05.880 And it's true. 0.56

00:53:06.780 It's really hard to talk to someone when, because half your conversations are, look at this video.

00:53:13.200 And then, of course, the experience of watching the video is terrible.

00:53:16.480 They pull it up.

00:53:17.520 There's all the controls of the video are all over the screen.

00:53:20.380 It starts too late.

00:53:21.560 The audio is not on.

00:53:22.820 They got to scroll back and scroll back again.

00:53:24.580 So it starts again.

00:53:25.680 It drives me freaking crazy.

00:53:27.120 I hate it.

00:53:27.520 But it is like, this is a giant chunk of a whole generation, basically is like, it's

00:53:36.860 like the Matrix, right?

00:53:38.060 Like, you're connected to the Matrix.

00:53:40.060 Whatever slop they're putting into you keeps, you're alive.

00:53:44.860 You just, you know, that's a barely, but you're kind of right. 0.75

00:53:48.400 And when that turns off, I think it will be something.

00:53:50.880 Now, look, you can go to Reels and get the same dumb feed.

00:53:53.680 I mean, I am, I'm on Instagram.

00:53:56.020 I find myself, you know, just scroll, you know, I see something and I'm like, oh, wow, I got to watch that, blah, blah, blah.

00:54:02.680 YouTube shorts.

00:54:03.640 Yeah.

00:54:04.220 Even X.

00:54:05.060 And you just start, you just go down this rabbit hole.

00:54:07.640 And it's, it does nothing for you.

00:54:09.740 Nothing.

00:54:10.300 That being said, I.

00:54:11.400 Empty calories like crazy.

00:54:13.240 That is.

00:54:13.840 Oh, my God.

00:54:14.240 That is the worst.

00:54:14.840 Yeah, I mean, I think there's value in junk food, but not this junk food.

00:54:20.240 This is junk food for the brain and it has no nutritional value.

00:54:24.580 None.

00:54:25.060 I mean, and you might, as you point out, might occasionally catch something of value, but you're forced to watch all this other stuff.

00:54:32.900 Right.

00:54:33.640 And once you start going down that, you find yourself 45 minutes later watching cat videos.

00:54:40.680 If you're lucky.

00:54:41.780 Yeah, if you're lucky.

00:54:42.500 If it's not just like assaults.

00:54:44.480 Right.

00:54:44.920 And people being burned alive.

00:54:46.880 Yeah.

00:54:47.160 And God only knows what you could end up on.

00:54:50.000 I, this is sort of separate from the conversation generally, because I think it's such an inherent evil.

00:54:57.120 Not just TikTok, by the way.

00:54:58.540 I think a lot of this stuff is.

00:54:59.440 Oh, yeah.

00:54:59.620 Read the Jonathan Haidt book.

00:55:00.680 Read it.

00:55:00.860 Oh, yeah.

00:55:01.220 Read it to see what you're, what's happening to your kids.

00:55:04.000 I can't encourage it enough.

00:55:05.660 If you have kids, read that book and you'll see, and hopefully read it before your kids are already on these services.

00:55:12.720 Because they'll hate your guts if you try to take it away from them once they're on it.

00:55:16.620 But if you get that ahead of time, you can try to prevent as much of the damage as possible.

00:55:22.100 Not, you can't do it completely.

00:55:23.640 And I don't think there's a way to ban it completely.

00:55:25.760 I think we have to figure out a way to deal with it.

00:55:29.680 I think we're already seeing, this is, first of all, we didn't get to the news yet.

00:55:35.020 Supreme Court has upheld the TikTok ban.

00:55:37.720 Yes.

00:55:37.940 So in theory, it's going away.

00:55:39.960 When this happened in India, India banned it in 2020, TikTok.

00:55:44.580 And TikTok just, they, on their own, turned it off and were like, we're going dark.

00:55:49.560 And so it's been dark since 2020 in India.

00:55:52.060 If India can do it. 1.00

00:55:53.200 Yeah, if India can do it. 1.00

00:55:54.720 And I think, like, here, that probably will happen and there will be a massive revolt and we'll see what happens after that.

00:56:00.840 You know, I don't know what the end of that is.

00:56:03.760 But think of the information they have, Glenn.

00:56:06.240 Oh, I know.

00:56:06.860 I mean, think of the, you know, look, let's say you have a messaging app or something, you know, some, you have some level of private contact or information.

00:56:18.040 I mean, they're getting all this information, TikTok.

00:56:19.660 They're very, very invasive with everything else you're doing, not necessarily just on the app itself, but other things you're doing.

00:56:28.080 They get that information.

00:56:29.900 The Chinese government is holding it.

00:56:31.060 What are they going to do with that eight years from now when you're the president of a company?

00:56:34.560 What is it?

00:56:35.900 What are they going to do with that information, you know, 20 years from now when you're running for Senate?

00:56:41.260 God only knows what the what is going to be the long term echo of us handing over a generation of our citizens to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:56:53.580 Does this sound like a good idea to anyone?

00:56:57.600 It sounds like the same idea of, oh, man.

00:57:01.780 iPhones are going to change your life for the better.

00:57:04.100 You're going to be freer.

00:57:05.340 You're going to be have more time.

00:57:07.160 You're going to know.

00:57:08.060 But at least there was a thought that that could be true.

00:57:12.060 Yes.

00:57:12.400 There's no way there's no value going to be valuable to us.

00:57:16.100 No.

00:57:16.520 So from that perspective, I think it's horrible.

00:57:18.640 I want like I want it to go away the worst way possible.

00:57:22.320 You know, there could be issues with this law and, you know, the courts are going to have to just it out.

00:57:26.400 But like the Supreme Court said today, they're upholding it.

00:57:28.320 OK, so let me come back in a minute because I want to talk to you about I, you know, I started the show today that this is the end of an era.

00:57:35.880 We are at the beginning of the end of this last era.

00:57:39.180 And it may even be an epic, you know, it might be something much bigger than just an era.

00:57:48.180 And I want to talk to you about that because I think the solution may be coming naturally to people.

00:57:54.400 I'll start there here in just a second.

00:57:56.100 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:57:57.500 I love businesses that don't hate my guts, you know, weird quirk that I have.

00:58:03.360 You know, maybe you're, you know, like I just want to spend my money with people who are trying to destroy me and my family.

00:58:08.960 How can I give them more?

00:58:10.860 I don't.

00:58:12.280 That's why I do business with Patriot Mobile.

00:58:14.300 You know, Patriot Mobile is going to be everywhere this weekend.

00:59:14.560 Ten seconds station.

00:59:15.300 I.

00:59:17.140 So you remember, Stu, about eight, nine years ago, I told you I had read a story about autism.

00:59:33.780 And it was a it was a theory of one guy who said, I think.

00:59:42.280 The autistic may be ushering in a new kind of form of people because information is happening so fast and the autistic are just they're so different and they consume things differently and see things differently. 1.00

00:59:59.960 OK, and I thought it was an interesting theory, but there is a podcast a friend turned me on to yesterday.

01:00:08.760 And I listened to like eight episodes.

01:00:10.820 I'm like driving around.

01:00:11.860 It's like quiet called the telepathy tapes.

01:00:15.400 Have you heard about this?

01:00:16.520 Now, there is something going on with the nonverbal autistic and the nonverbal artists are autistic are they've always been thought of as, you know, idiots and they're never going to think of anything, you know, and they'll never they'll never talk.

01:00:37.220 And they'll they're just idiots.

01:00:38.700 So imagine these guys, you know, for 20 years of their life being talked to like Stephen Hawking would have been talked to before he got a pad to write and the parents started to see things happening in their kids that they couldn't explain that they would they would say they can read my mind.

01:00:59.180 And then teachers started to see these nonverbals as being able to mind read their mind, and they started doing, you know, some non-scientific testing, just parents because nobody believed them.

01:01:16.440 And so they started doing some non-scientific testing, and they were like, I'm telling you, my kid can read my mind and he has knowledge and language that he never learned.

01:01:26.480 He knows history, history that he never learned that I didn't even learn, and they were expressing it through their tablets.

01:01:36.600 They could write and spell, but they were they were writing and spelling words that like some of the parents had to look up and they wrote to this one doctor and this one doctor started getting because they were online and saying, look, I think there's more to nonverbal autistic kids.

01:01:55.480 I think there's something going on.

01:01:58.020 And so people started all over the world, started writing and going, I know this sounds crazy, but I think this child of mine can read my mind.

01:02:08.220 And this doctor started getting all these letters from all over the world, all saying the same thing about their children.

01:02:15.780 So they did a scientific study on it, and this track, the telepathy tapes, it tracks these kids.

01:02:24.760 And what they found is phenomenal.

01:02:28.920 And they take you through the, you know, the kid is sitting in the other room.

01:02:34.920 It's a random word generator, picture generator, number generator.

01:02:38.680 The mom is in the other room.

01:02:40.720 The kid's in this room.

01:02:41.820 And it generates and she just looks at it and the kid will say, it's a pig.

01:02:49.400 One, you know, four million one hundred and seventy one thousand one hundred and twenty three, ninety five percent of the time.

01:02:57.360 And it's not just one kid's kids all over the world.

01:02:59.660 And they don't understand that they're kind of the place of like, why would somebody talk?

01:03:05.940 You just communicate like this.

01:03:08.020 And they they know things.

01:03:10.580 And this is where it gets really interesting.

01:03:15.900 They're all these kids talked privately about going to the hill and playing with friends in their mind.

01:03:24.080 Parents thought, well, maybe not so much.

01:03:28.400 I'll continue the story in just a second.

01:03:31.260 This is Glenn Beck.

01:03:33.960 So you and I have to be the change we want to see in society.

01:03:37.300 We celebrated when Roe versus Wade was overturned.

01:03:39.900 But the national stain of abortion continues.

01:03:42.260 And we have to keep working to end it by changing the hearts and minds of our brothers and sisters.

01:03:47.620 One great way to do that is by donating to preborn.

01:03:51.100 Today, the abortion pill accounts for over 60 percent of all abortions.

01:03:54.800 And it's available pretty much 24 seven.

01:03:57.020 This is why preborn is so important.

01:04:00.440 Preborn has rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion.

01:04:04.500 And every day on average, they rescue 200 more.

01:04:07.480 And they care about the mom just as much about the baby.

01:04:12.500 They're not just saving lives.

01:04:14.440 They're saving people from misery.

01:04:16.620 They're saving souls.

01:04:18.660 It's it's amazing thing when you aim to heal everyone involved in this.

01:04:25.300 If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

01:04:30.100 I'm going to host their their annual fundraiser.

01:04:34.940 I think it's in Naples tomorrow.

01:04:37.320 I'm on my way to Florida today.

01:04:39.160 Deductible donation tax deductible donation of five thousand dollars would sponsor the entire country's network for 24 hours.

01:05:22.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:05:23.020 This is it.

01:05:23.500 That is incredible.

01:05:25.660 We made it.

01:05:26.260 Ah, don't you dare.

01:05:28.440 Don't you dare say something like that.

01:05:31.180 We've got a couple more days and part of another show.

01:05:34.580 Right.

01:05:35.100 Where we're still.

01:05:59.100 Forty seven bucks off.

01:06:00.020 So I want to get into what we were talking about.

01:06:02.100 I was just I was just getting into something called the telepathy tapes that I started listening to yesterday.

01:06:06.860 And I'm already eight episodes down.

01:06:08.760 Wow.

01:06:08.980 I mean, it's rabbit hole, but they're very careful on laying everything out.

01:06:14.180 So you just don't roll your eyes.

01:06:15.620 And it goes to something bigger that Stu and I were just talking about on the air that today and Monday, I'm just not going to have the time to do justice to.

01:06:24.960 So would you write down telepathy tapes and likable hippies and end of an era?

01:06:35.420 She's currently writing down the words likable hippies.

01:06:37.300 I know I hate hippies.

01:06:39.360 I hate hippies.

01:06:40.020 But there are a few non Marxist, authentic hippies that I think I might like.

01:06:47.000 In theory, it's a hippies is not.

01:06:48.820 I mean, it's they wouldn't like the word.

01:06:50.800 No, they wouldn't like the word.

01:06:51.580 But I know what you're saying.

01:06:52.780 That's all right.

01:06:54.640 In the meantime, there is a documentary that is showing the real history of the California wildfires and no major distributors would take it.

01:07:07.440 Netflix, HBO said, no, no, no, no, we can't do that.

01:07:11.040 The documentary is called Hot Shot.

01:07:13.720 The director and cinematographer is Gabriel Kirkpatrick Mann.

01:07:18.260 And he's on with us now.

01:07:19.760 Gabriel, how are you, sir?

01:07:21.920 I'm fabulous, Glenn.

01:07:22.960 Thank you so much for having me on.

01:07:24.300 I love I love the fact that HBO, Netflix, everybody said, no, you're not talking enough about climate change.

01:07:33.320 Right.

01:07:33.720 Oh, yeah.

01:07:35.480 And look, it's been a surreal experience.

01:07:37.400 You know this well enough.

01:07:38.480 Hollywood has been entirely captured by wokeness. 0.88

01:07:41.760 And I think this is why they keep recycling the same garbage that nobody likes.

01:07:46.300 So I made this film in a very unconventional way.

01:07:49.240 I just spent six years just walking into these wildfires with a couple of cameras.

01:07:52.840 And I embedded directly with the hotshot crews to get their point of view.

01:07:56.580 And look, the visuals are insane.

01:07:59.100 And I think that's what got us in the door with Netflix and HBO.

01:08:01.480 But in the film, we gloss over the climate change thing and say, look, we've had horrible fires for centuries.

01:08:07.100 Yes.

01:08:07.440 And the worst ones were actually way back in 1871 during, you know, the optimal climate.

01:08:12.300 So obviously your SUV doesn't matter.

01:08:14.720 And because we didn't sufficiently mess our drawers about climate change, they balked at it.

01:08:19.980 And they wanted us to recut the whole film to be more about climate change.

01:08:23.540 But I'm not going to lie.

01:08:25.600 So I refused to cut it.

01:08:27.080 They told me to kick rocks.

01:08:28.120 So I just made a template website, released it myself, and it's been entirely a grassroots effort.

01:08:32.740 And look, it's insanely difficult when you're competing against these massive studios.

01:08:37.380 But the film, it's actually become the number one rated firefighter film of all time.

01:08:43.460 Over backdraft.

01:08:45.580 Backdraft.

01:08:46.740 That's an amazing movie.

01:08:48.380 But it just shows you how self-destructive this woke epidemic is for Hollywood.

01:08:54.020 They're shooting themselves in the foot.

01:08:55.340 Like, how do you turn down a profitable film just because you're mad that it didn't sufficiently validate your dogmatic ideology?

01:09:02.140 It's crazy.

01:09:02.720 So, you know, yesterday, did you hear this, Stu?

01:09:05.980 Donald Trump said John Voight, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson are now special envoys for the president to try to fix Hollywood.

01:09:17.760 And I'm like, I don't know how you could fix Hollywood.

01:09:20.040 I think it's being fixed on its own because they're just going to end in a giant ball of fire like California is.

01:09:28.120 You can't keep up this kind of policy that is completely unhooked from common sense and reality and expect to succeed in anything, in any way.

01:09:42.080 You're 100% right.

01:09:43.780 And frankly, I think there is a massively underserved market of people.

01:09:47.740 Oh, yeah.

01:09:48.000 They don't even need they don't need right wing movies to balance out the commie movies. 0.61

01:09:52.320 They just want good movies back.

01:09:54.540 Just don't lecture me.

01:09:55.680 Just give me 90s Hollywood when we had Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan and all these good flicks with no agenda.

01:10:02.460 Like, that's what we were aiming to do, just to try to inform honestly and trust that our audience is smart enough to come up with their own conclusions and let them enjoy the picture on their own.

01:10:11.940 I think the rational wing of America is responding very positively to that.

01:10:15.880 And I think if more filmmakers go that route, they can have success outside of the system.

01:10:20.480 So, one of the things that's in Hotshot, the movie that you've released online, is the difference between California and Florida.

01:10:30.080 And Florida has very few forest fires.

01:10:32.520 It's hot there, too.

01:10:34.900 What's the difference?

01:10:35.840 Well, not only is it hot there, but all that rain just creates more fuels.

01:10:40.600 Florida is very flammable.

01:10:41.820 But back in 19 in the late 1990s, they had a huge wildfire outbreak, destroyed a bunch of homes, destroyed the timber industry, and it cost them a fortune.

01:10:49.440 So they made a very rational conclusion.

01:10:51.220 How much did 500,000 acres of wildfire cost us, and how much would it cost us to proactively burn that with prescribed fire?

01:10:58.900 And what they found out is that that one wildfire outbreak, they could afford it to do 60 years of prescribed fire.

01:11:06.620 Oh, my gosh.

01:11:07.380 And so they just decided, okay, we're going to do that.

01:11:09.100 And every year, they proactively burn 2 million acres every single year.

01:11:13.060 In one year, Florida proactively burns more than California has burned in the last 50 years.

01:11:20.020 They need to burn between 4 to 11 million acres every year just to keep up with that growth that keeps coming out of the ground.

01:11:26.440 They're only doing like 36,000 a year.

01:11:28.840 And four years ago, five years ago now, Gavin Newsom stepped over burnt corpses on sacred tribal land to promise that he was going to burn a million acres a year.

01:11:38.060 He still hasn't come remotely close to doing it.

01:11:40.340 Everyone focuses on how the government let people down during the firefight.

01:11:44.200 I can tell you, once fire is on the ground with conditions like that, there's nothing you can do.

01:11:48.480 The real betrayal came in the last years and months when they refused to get rid of these fuels.

01:11:54.520 It's just common sense.

01:11:56.220 And it also, fires renew the soil.

01:11:59.540 It makes the new growth stronger.

01:12:03.780 It is so natural to do it.

01:12:05.480 And I don't understand why the, you know, powers to be and the so-called, you know, land scientists and everything else, how they don't understand that.

01:12:17.900 I'm an alcoholic DJ and I've known that my whole life.

01:12:22.160 Well, look, in order to fix a problem, you have to first accept that you have agency over the problem.

01:12:29.400 And they refuse to do that, except in this like really convoluted Rube Goldberg climate change kind of where they think if you just add more solar panels or buy more Teslas, that the weather will change and then the fires will stop.

01:12:41.100 But look, no amount of Teslas is going to make the weather less angry.

01:12:44.660 You just need to accept it and clear your brush.

01:12:46.960 What's double frustrating is these things aren't mutually exclusive.

01:12:50.800 You don't even have to abandon the climate change fantasy.

01:12:53.720 You just have to accept that none of the climate policies will do a darn thing for wildfires.

01:12:58.080 Not one, like ever.

01:12:59.740 But you can prevent tomorrow's wildfire right now.

01:13:02.780 And like you said, not only do the fires replenish the soil.

01:13:06.720 Look, the ecosystem out west is dependent on fire.

01:13:09.720 A lot of trees cannot even reproduce unless the pine cone burns to release and germinate the seed.

01:13:15.740 So to try to defy this natural process is insanity.

01:13:19.840 Let me ask you, California, where are you from, Gabriel?

01:13:24.720 I was born and raised in Los Angeles, Alisades, actually, specifically.

01:13:29.080 Wow.

01:13:29.640 So I get this question all the time.

01:13:32.380 Do you think California is going to wake up and learn their lesson?

01:13:34.760 Do you think they learned their lesson?

01:13:36.940 I don't know.

01:13:37.380 Did they?

01:13:38.060 No, never.

01:13:39.800 Dan Bongino always asks this, like, is it bad enough yet?

01:13:42.300 It's not bad enough yet.

01:13:43.540 And, you know, I love Adam Carolla's rant the other day, but nothing's going to change.

01:13:47.560 Like, if I thought they were capable of changing, I wouldn't have left the state for Tennessee.

01:13:51.200 But nothing changed after 85 people were killed in paradise.

01:13:54.520 Sean Penn lost his Malibu mansion to a fire in 1993, then rebuilt it, nearly lost it again in another fire in 2018.

01:14:01.000 And all he does is blame you for the car that you drive.

01:14:04.900 So, look, I don't think it's going to change because, like I said, you have to accept that you have agency over the problem.

01:14:11.160 If you keep putting it on climate, it's the most disempowering narrative you could possibly have because it creates this learned helplessness.

01:14:19.200 Because nothing is going to change.

01:14:21.260 So, look, man, I don't know how you can expect anyone to make a real change if they refuse to accept the real world.

01:14:27.040 Let me play some of the clips from the movie.

01:14:33.020 Clip three from Hotshot, cut number six.

01:14:36.940 Even though their fire season is only June to November, she has to train all year to stay in shape.

01:14:42.960 There are no bonus points for abs.

01:14:45.140 It's a different kind of fitness.

01:14:47.620 Justine doesn't have any illusions about the female's physicality. 1.00

01:14:51.680 She has to put in extra work to keep up with the fellas. 1.00

01:14:54.360 This is real life, not a gender studies class.

01:14:58.400 If you can't get up the hill, you die.

01:15:01.180 If you can't drive the buggy through the fire when s*** goes sideways, your whole crew dies.

01:15:06.740 You've got to be durable.

01:15:08.300 And as a squad boss, she's overhead.

01:15:11.160 And she has to earn their trust and respect.

01:15:13.840 The only way to do that is to outwork them.

01:15:17.940 And what's more humbling than having a girl pass you on the hill? 0.92

01:15:20.360 I have to tell you, they had to have gone crazy on things like that.

01:15:26.200 But that's the truth.

01:15:28.480 They lost their mind over that one.

01:15:31.400 That actually may have doomed us more than the climate thing.

01:15:34.940 Really?

01:15:35.760 Look, I'm just, dude, it's just reality.

01:15:38.500 Like, those of us who live in reality accept the simple truth that, look, if you're 120 pounds and your pack weighs 70 pounds,

01:15:44.780 you've got to work three times as hard.

01:15:46.660 As someone like me, I weigh 230 pounds.

01:15:48.680 And it's just reality.

01:15:51.060 And the thing is, I would think that framing it that way, saying that a gal has to work three times harder, that honors their service.

01:15:58.920 But they look at it as like, oh, no, no, no, no.

01:16:00.840 Everyone can do the same thing.

01:16:01.860 So if you're saying you have to work three times as hard, then that means you're demeaning women. 1.00

01:16:05.100 It's like, no, it's the opposite.

01:16:06.680 That's how upside down woke Hollywood is.

01:16:08.800 It's like we really need to, everyone in my industry needs to disabuse ourselves of all this, like, delicate political stuff.

01:16:15.140 Because normal people watch that clip in particular and just go, yeah, yeah, that sounds right.

01:16:20.480 And that is the reality.

01:16:22.440 Where can you find it now?

01:16:24.620 Can I just, go ahead.

01:16:26.860 Yeah, we made a website called hotshotmovie.com.

01:16:30.140 You can support us directly there.

01:16:31.380 But, you know, if you don't, if it's more convenient, you don't mind giving Jeff Bezos a pound of flesh.

01:16:35.300 It's also on Amazon, Google Play, and Voodoo.

01:16:41.260 Well, he's losing so much money with the Washington Post that maybe, I don't know, maybe you should throw him a bone.

01:16:46.340 I don't know.

01:16:47.680 I think I would go to hotshotmovie.com.

01:16:50.440 Thank you so much, Gabriel.

01:16:51.740 I appreciate it.

01:16:52.360 God bless.

01:16:54.100 Thank you so much.

01:16:54.940 You bet.

01:16:55.540 All right.

01:16:56.020 By the way, beautiful movie.

01:16:57.840 I mean, it looks, I have not seen it yet, but I got to watch this.

01:17:00.280 It looks incredible.

01:17:00.980 Yeah.

01:17:02.180 We're just, if you happen to be watching the blaze, you're seeing California's blaze.

01:17:08.500 It's not a half-assed effort.

01:17:10.020 This is like a legitimate, like beautiful documentary.

01:17:13.200 You don't have people say it's better than Backdraft.

01:17:16.460 Yeah.

01:17:16.900 Backdraft was stunning.

01:17:19.540 Stunning.

01:17:20.500 All right.

01:17:20.980 Let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

01:17:23.700 You know, you come home at the end of the day, and if you're like me, you just want comfy clothes.

01:17:29.060 My wife is like, okay, I'm getting comfy clothes.

01:17:33.000 And you want, your house is someplace to recharge.

01:17:38.340 You want it to be soft and gentle and a place where you can just kind of hang out with your family and laugh.

01:17:47.000 And Cozy Earth has that attitude.

01:17:51.380 They want you to concentrate on the 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. time of your life.

01:17:58.360 And take care of that and look at that differently.

01:18:02.940 Cozy Earth has been featured on Oprah's Favorite Things seven times.

01:18:06.620 It is luxury that is affordable.

01:18:09.320 Emphasis, however, is on the word luxury.

01:18:11.640 I want to also say affordable because they're giving you a 40% discount if you use the promo code BECK.

01:18:19.600 Cozy Earth, they make great pajamas, luxury loungewear, the sheets are, I mean, the kind of stuff that you would only find at literally five and six star hotels.

01:18:32.360 But it's affordable with that 40% discount.

01:18:35.600 CozyEarth.com slash BECK. 0.86

01:18:38.000 Luxury?

01:18:39.820 Cozy Earth.

01:18:41.140 CozyEarth.com slash BECK. 0.86

01:18:46.960 Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in.

01:18:52.320 More Glenn Beck coming up.

01:18:54.720 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:16.600 Glad you're here.

01:19:17.460 You know, we were talking off air about how many people have how different this is from 2016 and how many people are now for Donald Trump.

01:19:30.860 I mean, I in 2016, I certainly wasn't saying the same things I'm saying now about him coming into office.

01:19:37.960 And but I had a, you know, an honest change of heart that you witnessed.

01:19:43.960 Uh, he was doing all the things he said he would do, and I didn't believe he would do.

01:19:48.420 And I told you at the beginning, I mean, I just got to be honest.

01:19:52.500 I'm only projecting what I think he might do.

01:19:55.580 Uh, and I don't think he's going to do any of those things.

01:19:58.040 He did.

01:19:59.180 Now I'm sitting here thinking this guy has changed so much, even from 2020, he's changed so much.

01:20:05.860 This guy could be, and I hate to say this because it sounds so hyperbolic, but I think it's true. 1.00

01:20:11.780 If he does out the deep state and clean this nation up, he'll be remembered as an Abraham Lincoln. 0.76

01:20:20.520 Uh, that's phenomenal.

01:20:23.480 But you're looking also at people now that are going to be up on the, you know, up on the stairs of the Capitol, like Bezos and Zuckerberg.

01:20:31.600 And I, you know, Bezos, the Pentagon is on, on Amazon servers.

01:20:38.020 Okay.

01:20:39.040 Uh, everything is on Amazon servers.

01:20:42.120 Um, and you know, he's kind of got to play the game, I think.

01:20:47.960 Um, but he's changing the Washington post.

01:20:52.500 Uh, and maybe that's an honest change of heart because he's losing everybody at the Washington post.

01:20:57.480 They're all just up in arms.

01:20:58.620 He should be cheering that development.

01:21:00.760 They should.

01:21:01.140 They should.

01:21:01.640 Every time another, another Jen Rubin walks out the door, he should throw an office party. 1.00

01:21:07.280 Yeah.

01:21:07.600 I don't know if you're ever going to be able to clean those places up.

01:21:10.400 I mean, you'd have to do what Elon Musk did to Twitter.

01:21:12.680 Just fire almost everybody.

01:21:14.360 Yeah.

01:21:15.240 It'd be very, it's going to be difficult, but I mean, they can move it in the right direction.

01:21:17.620 I think that's a positive thing.

01:21:18.600 And I, again, if it's just the, uh, I need to kiss Trump's butt cause I'm afraid of him thing.

01:21:23.320 That's, that's okay.

01:21:24.040 I don't mind that I prefer an honest transition.

01:21:27.680 What I am, what I don't want is, you know, Bezos to be friendly with Trump and then start

01:21:36.360 asking him for stuff that he's been wanting all this time.

01:21:39.360 And it, like, I mean, the TikTok ban is kind of interesting from that front.

01:21:42.640 I mean, Trump may have just had a change of heart and maybe just, uh, you know, really

01:21:46.740 did like the way it worked for him.

01:21:48.040 And that's kind of what he said.

01:21:49.300 Like it was worked well for me and then now I, you know, I want to keep it and don't

01:21:52.340 want the ban, but also he's got to be lots of donors that came in that were pro TikTok.

01:21:56.500 The TikTok CEO is going to be at the inauguration.

01:21:58.940 Like these guys all want something.

01:22:00.840 And Trump, I think usually it's just like, screw you.

01:22:03.340 If I don't want to do it, I'm not going to do it.

01:22:04.860 He's not going to, but I don't think, I don't think so.

01:22:07.220 I've never seen that of him.

01:22:08.480 If he wants to do it, he'll do it.

01:22:09.940 If he doesn't want to do it.

01:22:11.000 No, but there are going to be pressures.

01:22:12.740 He's going to have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

01:22:14.820 Yeah.

01:22:15.960 More in a minute.

01:22:16.640 This is Glenn Beck.

01:22:46.640 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:13.140 And this is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:20.160 Hello, America. Welcome to Friday and the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:24.320 Monday, we're going to be broadcasting from Washington for the inauguration.

01:23:29.020 Hopefully, we'll be just outside of the blast zone.

01:23:31.980 No, hopefully not.

01:23:34.500 I mean, hopefully we are out of the blast zone, but hopefully there isn't a blast.

01:23:38.260 But anyway, we'll be there on Monday.

01:23:40.440 Today is the last broadcast of the full day of this administration.

01:23:46.180 And we look forward to a new era, but it's going to be up to us.

01:23:51.160 And one of the things that has to happen is a full recognition of the truth.

01:23:57.260 No matter how uncomfortable it is, no matter who's involved.

01:24:00.740 One of the things that I've been fascinated with, and I've changed a lot in the 20 years, is the JFK assassination.

01:24:09.260 I'm going to share something with a good friend of mine who just wrote a book that he is telling a new truth you have not heard.

01:24:18.220 At least I don't think so.

01:24:19.240 The first assassination attempt of JFK.

01:24:23.380 Did you know there was another one?

01:24:24.860 I had no idea.

01:24:27.120 He's going to tell you that.

01:24:28.040 And then I want to bring up something I don't know if it's true or not.

01:24:31.580 Something that has just been released, some new audio.

01:24:34.420 And if it's true, it changes everything.

01:24:37.840 But I don't know.

01:24:39.740 Brad Meltzer joins me in 60 seconds.

01:24:43.680 First, realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:24:45.980 When you absolutely, positively have to buy or sell a home, sometimes you just have to.

01:24:51.160 Let's face it, you really want real estate agents on your side that you truly trust.

01:24:56.440 So about 10 years ago, I started a company with my brother, and it's called Real Estate Agents I Trust.

01:25:02.900 I was working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:25:08.520 And after working with him for a while, I realized there is something, there's a reason all of these people are the best in the country.

01:25:17.600 They just had a different code of ethics.

01:25:20.400 They also understood marketing so much better.

01:25:26.320 And they were changing with the times.

01:25:28.620 But all of them, it was the kind of person that their word was their bond.

01:25:32.620 So I started a company, realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:25:36.540 We vet these people six ways to Sunday.

01:25:39.560 I don't charge you a dime.

01:25:41.840 I'm trying to put you in touch with the person that we feel is the best real estate agent, one that you can trust to get the job done in your area.

01:25:51.300 So whether you're buying and selling your home and you're going to move across the street or across the country, we can help you wherever you are.

01:25:59.900 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:26:02.320 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:26:04.620 Brad Meltzer is with me.

01:26:05.960 He and his co-author Josh Mench have just released a new book called The JFK Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy and Why It Failed.

01:26:17.260 Brad, as always, it's good to see you.

01:26:18.880 Always good to see you, my friend.

01:26:20.540 So let's start with, I mean, kind of where we are right now.

01:26:25.480 I talked to Kash Patel eight months ago, and when he was at DNI, when he was the DNI, he said he saw some of the things.

01:26:37.040 He didn't tell me what it was.

01:26:38.460 He said, but he saw the Kennedy stuff and elsewhere.

01:26:43.260 And he said, you know, if people see it, they would understand why it has been kept quiet.

01:26:50.360 He said, I don't agree with it, but you would understand.

01:26:54.120 Do you think we're going to get the full disclosure this time?

01:26:59.740 We were promised it when Trump first took office.

01:27:02.700 Over and over.

01:27:03.020 Over and over.

01:27:03.560 I sit on the board of the National Archives Foundation, as you know, and believe me, we all want it.

01:27:10.880 Everyone there wants it.

01:27:12.120 And I will say this.

01:27:13.640 I don't think, I actually don't think there's some smoking gun, and here's why.

01:27:18.340 Because Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald.

01:27:22.020 Right.

01:27:22.160 And the moment he did that, he took away the one eyewitness who actually was there and knew what happened.

01:27:27.660 So you can find all these other things, but it will never answer the question, what is Lee Harvey Oswald doing in Russia at the height of the Cold War?

01:27:37.140 Who do we ask that to?

01:27:38.780 He's the guy going there and doing it.

01:27:41.180 And the fact that no, here's the other thing that I always rely on.

01:27:45.320 Deathbed confessions.

01:27:47.000 I'm obsessed with deathbed confessions.

01:27:48.880 If you look at Watergate and who Deep Throat was, Bob Weir was going to take it to the grave.

01:27:55.860 The head of the Washington Post was going to take it to the grave.

01:27:58.180 And how do we find out who Deep Throat was?

01:28:00.680 Because Deep Throat got old and said, it's me.

01:28:03.620 It's me.

01:28:04.240 Mark Felt.

01:28:04.800 I can't.

01:28:05.140 I'm about to die, and I want the truth to be known.

01:28:08.700 And in all these years, since that day here in, you know, Dallas in 1963, nobody said a word.

01:28:15.660 And I don't believe that for one second.

01:28:17.460 There's someone who on their deathbed, and look at the math of where they are.

01:28:21.160 There's very few people that were alive, you know, were getting there.

01:28:24.240 So I'm hoping, but that's what I trust more than some, you know, bureaucratic paperwork.

01:28:29.580 So let's talk about this new conspiracy to kill President Kennedy.

01:28:35.680 I had never heard of it before, and you explain in the book why, but first set it up.

01:28:41.060 This is before he takes office, right?

01:28:43.040 Yeah, this is three years before Lee Harvey Oswald obviously takes his famous shot.

01:28:48.740 And it is in Palm Beach, Florida.

01:28:51.540 It's a beautiful Sunday morning, right after JFK has been elected, almost right where we

01:28:55.580 are right now in the presidency.

01:28:56.980 He's been elected.

01:28:57.960 He's waiting for inauguration.

01:28:59.560 And he's going to church.

01:29:01.340 Sunday morning, JFK goes to church.

01:29:03.520 And he has no idea that there is a disgruntled postal worker named Richard Pavlik who wants

01:29:09.680 to kill him.

01:29:10.680 And he's packed his car with seven sticks of dynamite.

01:29:14.200 He's followed JFK. 0.51

01:29:15.680 He tracked him to Massachusetts.

01:29:17.800 He tracked him to Palm Beach, Florida, followed him to Florida because he believes that JFK's

01:29:22.200 security is weakest there, which he's right about.

01:29:24.380 And as JFK leaves his house that morning for church, all this assassin has to do is hit

01:29:30.320 the little trigger device that he's built, and boom, will go the dynamite.

01:29:34.840 Would he be in the car?

01:29:36.020 He's in the car.

01:29:36.900 He writes the letter and says, I'm not coming back from this.

01:29:41.360 And what saves JFK's life that day, I don't want to ruin the ending, although I think I

01:29:45.200 just ruined chapter one of the JFK conspiracy.

01:29:47.420 That's chapter one.

01:29:48.180 But what saves his life that day has to do with Jackie.

01:29:50.400 I won't ruin it.

01:29:51.060 But it's one of the craziest JFK stories you've never heard in your life.

01:29:55.120 So why haven't we heard this?

01:29:57.000 That's the right question.

01:29:58.240 So here's why you don't know this story.

01:30:00.720 It was a huge story in Miami, in Florida, where it happened.

01:30:04.080 Miami Herald had a big front page article.

01:30:06.560 It's about to go nationwide.

01:30:08.120 It used to back then take an extra day to go from local to nationwide.

01:30:11.580 And on the day it's going nationwide, two airliners collide over New York City.

01:30:17.480 Oh my gosh.

01:30:17.960 Everyone on board dies except for one child, the sole survivor.

01:30:22.180 Oh my God.

01:30:22.700 And America becomes obsessed with this kid, right?

01:30:25.960 Is he going to live?

01:30:26.560 Is he going to die?

01:30:27.460 It knocks this JFK story off the front page, buries it into the middle of the newspaper.

01:30:31.960 It becomes a footnote to history until my friend Josh mentioned I find it.

01:30:36.480 And we're like, America needs to know this story.

01:30:39.800 That's where the JFK conspiracy is born.

01:30:41.520 How did you find this story?

01:30:43.860 Because I'm crazy like you, right?

01:30:45.680 I mean, because we love, listen, your algorithm I know is like my algorithm.

01:30:49.060 It feeds us what we like.

01:30:50.520 And it knows I, so I usually find them in footnotes.

01:30:53.900 The best stories in history are in the footnotes.

01:30:55.740 You and I have talked at length about this.

01:30:57.180 And this one I found a little mention of it, a tiny little blurb on it.

01:31:01.480 And I was like, and my reaction is always the same.

01:31:04.140 Is this real?

01:31:05.400 And let's find out.

01:31:07.520 And-

01:31:07.840 Those are the best journeys, aren't they?

01:31:08.780 The best journeys.

01:31:09.180 They're adventures.

01:31:09.920 That's how I see them.

01:31:11.100 And we were very lucky that there were some reporters who did a FOIA request for the documents

01:31:17.520 on Richard Pavlik.

01:31:18.620 And what they found and what we got was hundreds of pages of the FBI's and the Secret Service's

01:31:24.060 real-time files from 1960.

01:31:27.420 And we're going-

01:31:27.920 Wait, wait, who has, where are those?

01:31:29.620 How long did it take to find those?

01:31:31.320 Yeah, I mean, you know what?

01:31:32.140 The truth is, it's the one, I mean, for all the government does, FOIA is an unbelievable thing.

01:31:36.500 And if no one, if I wouldn't know to look for them, but once they're out, now there's

01:31:41.380 a record.

01:31:41.960 So once you get Richard Pavlik, once I find that story and I get his name, now I can find

01:31:46.140 his arrest record.

01:31:47.120 Now I can find who the officer is.

01:31:48.720 Now I can find, oh, was the service who, or the FBI arrested him?

01:31:51.800 Now I could, and you suddenly play that game through time and you start pulling these layers

01:31:57.120 and it just reveals so much, of course, about JFK and what's going on in 1960.

01:32:01.700 So why did he want to kill him?

01:32:05.400 Disgruntled postal worker.

01:32:06.660 I mean, that's-

01:32:07.120 Putting the word postal in postal worker, right?

01:32:09.620 I mean-

01:32:09.780 You kind of have an answer.

01:32:10.520 You have an answer, but here's the real answer.

01:32:12.040 The real answer is because he's Catholic, of all things.

01:32:15.380 And it sounds almost silly now.

01:32:17.460 He's Catholic.

01:32:18.060 This is the-

01:32:18.640 So was JFK.

01:32:19.560 Well, no, no, because, I'm sorry.

01:32:21.020 I mean, because JFK's Catholic.

01:32:22.340 He wants to kill JFK's Catholic.

01:32:23.540 No, you got that part.

01:32:24.380 Why would he-

01:32:24.880 No, no, no, Pavlik wants to kill JFK because JFK's Catholic.

01:32:28.140 And it sounds almost trite now.

01:32:30.040 And I know it's titillating for me to come on and say, hey, we found the secret plot to

01:32:33.880 kill JFK that you've never heard.

01:32:36.940 But the reason you and I love history so much is that it's not just cool old stories, but

01:32:42.700 it's that it tells us something about where we are right now.

01:32:45.040 And if you look at the 1960 election, it's JFK versus Richard Nixon, the country is bitterly

01:32:52.020 divided, the closest election of the 20th century, whatever side you're on, you think

01:32:56.700 the other side are complete and utter morons.

01:32:59.580 Does that sound familiar to you, right?

01:33:02.040 It's right we are now.

01:33:03.500 And it sounds almost silly now, but there were Protestant leaders back then who did not

01:33:08.700 want a Catholic becoming president because they were worried-

01:33:11.960 Including great statesmen like Billy Graham.

01:33:14.320 Billy Graham, the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, who wrote The Power of Positive Thinking,

01:33:18.880 one of the great books.

01:33:19.420 Norman Vincent Peale?

01:33:20.560 He's the one who Billy Graham puts out in front of the public.

01:33:23.620 Wow.

01:33:23.960 And you see video of him saying, we can't have anyone who's Catholic because what he wants, 0.86

01:33:29.580 he's worried he's going to be loyal to the Pope.

01:33:31.060 You're on the money.

01:33:31.820 Right.

01:33:32.060 And they're worried that when JFK takes office, he'll be loyal to the Pope and not these United

01:33:37.580 States and he can't be trusted.

01:33:39.360 And again, it sounds almost silly now, but back then that's what they thought.

01:33:42.300 And here was the other big part.

01:33:44.320 The KKK, very separately, the Ku Klux Klan, of course, in the Civil War, is harassing the

01:33:49.860 black community.

01:33:50.980 In the 1920s, there's a resurgence of the KKK.

01:33:54.540 And they realized that they can expand their dues and their membership by expanding that

01:33:58.600 circle of hate.

01:33:59.960 And what they expanded to is they start hating not just blacks, but they start hating Jews.

01:34:04.800 They start hating immigrants.

01:34:05.840 And they see JFK as an Irish Catholic immigrant, that his family came across on a boat and we

01:34:11.160 can't have an immigrant reach that White House. 1.00

01:34:13.580 And when you put that venom, like what the, you know, saying you can't have a Catholic in

01:34:18.360 the White House out there, people are listening.

01:34:21.360 And Richard Pavlik is listening and he's like, you know what?

01:34:24.920 I'm going to do something good for America.

01:34:26.800 I'm going to make sure the Catholic never gets to the White House. 1.00

01:34:29.540 If I'm not mistaken, it was, the Catholics were instrumental in raising money for the

01:34:35.460 Washington Monument.

01:34:37.180 I think that's right.

01:34:38.460 I think that is right.

01:34:39.340 I remember reading about that.

01:34:40.300 I did, I used to do, for one of our History Channel shows, we did something on that.

01:34:43.640 And I think, I think that's why it took so long to finish, not only that, but also the

01:34:48.120 Civil War, because people were like, that's a Catholic project. 0.63

01:34:51.240 Of course.

01:34:51.960 I mean, a great giant monument to Catholics.

01:34:54.640 I mean, who knows?

01:34:55.300 But, you know, we look at that as like, right now we all roll our eyes and say, why would

01:34:59.740 they care about that?

01:35:01.080 But it just shows you what venom and hatred can do to our country.

01:35:05.240 And to me, you know, I, I'm very much obsessed with looking at this from that perspective.

01:35:11.360 And in fact, one of the things I became obsessed with was, was Camelot itself.

01:35:15.880 And one of the things I learned, I love Jackie Kennedy.

01:35:19.740 Love her.

01:35:20.380 And, and Jackie Kennedy, we've reduced to a caricature.

01:35:23.780 We've said, oh, she's beautiful and she's got grace and she can decorate. 0.97

01:35:27.700 We don't do her a service there.

01:35:30.200 And one of-

01:35:30.520 She was wicked smart.

01:35:32.460 Wicked is the right word.

01:35:33.760 Wicked smart.

01:35:34.720 Like Massachusetts herself. 0.99

01:35:36.100 And she basically, we don't pull our punches. 0.65

01:35:38.960 We, we document JFK's affairs.

01:35:41.380 Yeah.

01:35:41.500 We show you that after they get engaged, one of JFK's best friends comes to Jackie and

01:35:46.080 says, you know, Jack really loves women.

01:35:49.600 And basically says to her face, he's going to keep sleeping around on you.

01:35:53.120 And when she's giving birth, she hemorrhages and they have to race her to the hospital.

01:35:58.500 JFK is nowhere to be found.

01:36:00.080 For like a week or so.

01:36:02.100 A long time.

01:36:02.720 A long time.

01:36:03.000 He's on a boat.

01:36:03.580 He's on a plane to Florida.

01:36:05.140 You know what would happen to me?

01:36:06.260 Wait, wait.

01:36:06.620 He was on a boat with a bunch of women. 0.99

01:36:09.420 Oh, that's when she has a stillborn.

01:36:10.720 That's when he's, he's on a boat full of women for that one. 1.00

01:36:13.200 That's a stillborn.

01:36:13.940 Oh, I didn't know.

01:36:14.260 There's two.

01:36:15.040 Oh, I didn't know that.

01:36:15.420 That's the second.

01:36:16.340 The first one, he's on a boat with a bunch of women. 0.97

01:36:18.740 She's having a stillborn.

01:36:19.600 And they have to tell him, you should probably go back.

01:36:22.220 You have to go home.

01:36:22.780 And he's like, you think?

01:36:23.960 And they're like, yeah, man.

01:36:25.560 Yeah.

01:36:25.920 You got to go back.

01:36:26.800 Your political career is finished.

01:36:28.480 She was done with the marriage on that one, right?

01:36:30.440 I mean, I think she moved back in.

01:36:31.760 How could you not be, right?

01:36:32.780 Right.

01:36:32.920 How could you?

01:36:33.400 And when she finally gives birth to John John, she hemorrhages because she's obviously

01:36:38.940 had this previous pregnancy.

01:36:40.180 It was a disaster.

01:36:41.540 JFK's on a plane to Florida.

01:36:42.860 Do you know what would happen to me if I was on a plane to Florida while my wife was giving 0.67

01:36:46.880 birth, you and I would not be talking right now because I would be murdered.

01:36:49.880 I know.

01:36:50.220 Me too.

01:36:50.660 Me too.

01:36:51.900 I had to start my CNN show three days, two days after my daughter was born.

01:36:58.600 And I almost lost my life because I wasn't fully there two days later.

01:37:04.560 Of course.

01:37:05.380 And what I kept saying when I'm reading all this is, why did they call this place Camelot?

01:37:10.920 How is it so great that it's Camelot?

01:37:13.660 And I was like, where does it start?

01:37:15.140 Is it year one Camelot?

01:37:16.100 Year two Camelot?

01:37:16.960 Where's it go?

01:37:17.860 Hang on.

01:37:18.220 Don't give me the answer yet.

01:38:45.540 Back with Brad Meltzer.

01:38:46.840 This is a cliffhanger.

01:38:47.560 I love that we do cliffhangers together.

01:38:49.260 But I said to myself, where does Camelot come from?

01:38:52.020 Is it year one, two, three?

01:38:54.000 And I discovered this.

01:38:56.260 We don't start using the word Camelot until after JFK dies.

01:39:00.020 It's after his assassination that Jackie grants one interview to Life magazine, and she brings

01:39:07.360 the reporter to her house.

01:39:08.500 He's there until after midnight, and she's working that interview back and forth with

01:39:12.500 him.

01:39:13.140 And she tells him this exclusive story that when JFK was in the White House and his back

01:39:18.460 was hurting him and he was in pain, the way to relieve that pain, Jackie would put on his

01:39:23.040 favorite record.

01:39:23.980 And for young people listening, a record is how we used to listen to music.

01:39:26.640 But she used to put on his favorite record, and his record was a song about a place called

01:39:33.200 Camelot from the famous play.

01:39:35.220 And it was Jackie who put that word into our lexicon.

01:39:38.820 We forget, Jackie was a reporter when she started, so she was a member of the press.

01:39:42.140 She was hounded by the press.

01:39:43.280 But make no mistake, my friend, she was a master of the press.

01:39:46.600 So I almost won in auction a card that she had written right after the assassination.

01:39:55.380 It just said, Jackie Kennedy.

01:39:58.440 That's a good one.

01:39:59.360 And it had one line on it.

01:40:00.800 She gave it to her secretary.

01:40:04.100 And it just said, Camelot is no more.

01:40:07.600 Oof, yep.

01:40:08.140 That's the line.

01:40:08.720 And the thing that's amazing to me is what she's doing there, very consciously, is she's

01:40:16.600 writing JFK's legacy so no one else can write it.

01:40:19.620 Right.

01:40:19.960 That's why we call it Camelot.

01:40:21.600 Jackie's amazing.

01:40:22.800 As you said, wicked smart.

01:40:24.340 And I have just so much new respect for what she's trying to hold together as all this is

01:40:28.260 happening.

01:40:29.120 And at the same time, JFK is this really – we've reduced him to a cliche.

01:40:34.580 He's Mayor Quimby now on The Simpsons, right?

01:40:36.420 He's the guy with the beautiful hair, and he's got the beautiful wife, and they got

01:40:40.580 the beautiful life.

01:40:42.180 And he's a World War II amazing hero.

01:40:45.120 In World War II – and I didn't know this part.

01:40:47.400 I actually didn't know the PT-109 story.

01:40:49.540 He's on a PT-109 boat, Japanese destroyer, boat explodes, wood gets shattered everywhere.

01:40:56.320 It's a boat made of wood, of mahogany.

01:40:58.680 So parts of it float.

01:41:00.400 And his men, some die.

01:41:02.080 They have to swim to an island.

01:41:03.800 One guy's unconscious.

01:41:04.960 JFK says, you know what?

01:41:06.880 Put him on my back.

01:41:07.740 I'm the best swimmer.

01:41:09.820 Fashions on the floating pieces of wood, puts a piece of rope, holds the rope in his teeth

01:41:15.860 as he swims to the island with this guy on his back.

01:41:19.280 When they get there, they're like, there's no water here after a day.

01:41:22.180 There's no drinkable water, no food.

01:41:24.940 I'm going to swim a couple more miles to see if there's another place where we can go.

01:41:28.300 Finds another island.

01:41:29.600 Swims back a couple miles.

01:41:31.800 No food.

01:41:33.040 Says, I found another place.

01:41:34.200 We've got to all go to this island.

01:41:35.360 We're going to die here if we don't.

01:41:37.100 They say, what about the unconscious guy?

01:41:38.440 Put him on my back again.

01:41:40.280 Holds the rope in his teeth.

01:41:42.020 Swims again. 1.00

01:41:43.140 When he's done, of course, saves this man's life.

01:41:46.660 Everyone's like, you're the hero.

01:41:48.420 You can leave World War II now, JFK.

01:41:51.060 His father, of course, is like, son, come home.

01:41:53.240 Let's get you out of here. 1.00

01:41:54.140 We'll get you a career in politics.

01:41:55.780 You're going places.

01:41:56.360 And JFK says, no, dad.

01:42:00.200 Fight's not done.

01:42:01.320 I need to keep fighting.

01:42:02.280 World War II's not done. 0.97

01:42:03.200 Goes back into World War II.

01:42:05.520 And I look at these stories, and I'm like, JFK's this amazing World War II hero.

01:42:11.380 He takes us to the moon on the moonshot.

01:42:14.020 Unleashes hope in this world with his inaugural address.

01:42:17.900 So is he good, or is he a reckless husband who's sleeping around with his wife?

01:42:21.700 Is he bad?

01:42:22.360 Is he, like the rest of us, complicated?

01:42:24.440 Yes.

01:42:25.140 Right?

01:42:25.500 And that's the answer.

01:42:26.160 He's complicated.

01:42:26.920 And to me, what I love about history, I know what you love about history, is taking those

01:42:30.260 bold-faced names and turning them back into human beings.

01:42:34.060 Yeah.

01:42:34.380 And what I love about the JFK conspiracy is you see their lives.

01:42:37.500 You see their marriage.

01:42:38.420 You see what's going on.

01:42:39.840 And you see what JFK is really up to in those days right before he takes the White House.

01:42:44.540 How did Jackie stand it? 0.88

01:42:48.380 You know, I wish we could get in her head.

01:42:50.540 She's one of the most—the person who you're going to love in this book is her Secret Service

01:42:55.720 agent.

01:42:56.840 And he's this—and the guy named Clint Hill.

01:43:00.540 And Clint Hill is the one who gets assigned to protective detail.

01:43:05.560 And the Secret Service, the PPD, you know, presidential protective detail, is the assignment

01:43:09.600 you want.

01:43:10.040 You're guarding the president.

01:43:11.080 Right, right.

01:43:11.320 Get to the White House.

01:43:12.080 And he's like, I got it.

01:43:12.920 I made it.

01:43:13.340 I'm going to the White House.

01:43:14.920 It was the first lady. 1.00

01:43:15.800 And he gets there, and they say, you're not signing the president.

01:43:17.860 You got the first lady. 0.95

01:43:18.560 He's like, oh my gosh, this sucks.

01:43:20.580 He's like, he thought he got a demotion.

01:43:22.240 Right.

01:43:22.540 He's like, I'm going to go guard tea parties.

01:43:24.280 This is the worst.

01:43:25.860 But he gets Jackie Kennedy.

01:43:27.500 And it's the start of an amazing part of history.

01:43:30.840 All right.

01:43:31.100 More with Brad Seltzer.

01:43:33.220 The name of the book—Brad Seltzer.

01:43:36.100 Meltzer.

01:43:36.820 Sorry, I was thinking of Brian.

01:43:37.580 Rhymes with Seltzer.

01:43:39.820 Brad Meltzer.

01:43:41.380 He's written a book with Josh Mench.

01:43:43.620 It's the JFK conspiracy, the secret plot to kill Kennedy, and why it failed.

01:45:09.080 Hey, don't forget, we're going to be having coverage on Monday, beginning in this hour,

01:45:14.820 Monday, the inauguration of number 47, Donald J. Trump.

01:45:29.800 All right.

01:45:32.080 I want to play something that has just come out.

01:45:35.900 And honestly, we can't even figure where it came from.

01:45:39.820 We haven't been able to track this down.

01:45:42.820 So, I don't know if this is true or not.

01:45:45.360 And, you know, I really would hope that somebody in Silicon Valley is working to build a system that everybody could have,

01:45:56.640 or at least, you know, journalists and people that are in our situation that could run something through and find out,

01:46:03.820 is this a deep fake, is this real or not?

01:46:05.820 Run that and see an algorithm that shows you the percentage.

01:46:09.360 Because this could be a complete deep fake.

01:46:11.420 We have no idea.

01:46:12.460 It also could be true.

01:46:13.700 It's a tape of Billy Saul Estes and Clifton Carter, who's from Dallas, discussing the alleged involvement of LBJ in hiring Mac Wallace to assassinate JFK.

01:46:32.400 I want to play it because we're with Brad Meltzer, and he is way up on JFK and has been fascinated with this ever since I've known you,

01:46:44.920 and has a new book, The JFK Conspiracy, The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy.

01:46:50.020 Let me play this audio, and I'd love to get your thoughts on it.

01:46:52.540 Of course.

01:46:53.800 You're good to see you have life treating you today.

01:46:56.940 Well, Saul, it's been a pretty touch and cool situation.

01:46:59.500 I mean, Lyndon and I have had quite a few unpleasant words here lately over the deal that he hired Mike Wallace to assassinate the president.

01:47:12.480 It's been hectic in every way, but we've lived through this far, and I guess we'll continue to do so.

01:47:24.660 Lyndon should have never issued that order.

01:47:26.980 We've had our differences in true blue to Lyndon, as I've always been.

01:47:37.160 I've tried to carry out every order that he's ever given me, but this is one I'll probably never be able to forget.

01:47:44.360 In the times that we've had in Texas, and the embarrassment that Lyndon had gotten from Kennedy, I guess there wasn't anything else to do but what he did.

01:48:02.120 Well, you know, Lyndon would have really helped me if he would.

01:48:10.000 Well, Lyndon's the kind of person that doesn't want to help anyone.

01:48:13.180 He's, you know, he's all for Lyndon, and that's the way he's pretty much always been.

01:48:18.720 Well, they had me backed up on that Henry Marshall, killing him, and they just kind of blackmailed me to keep my mouth shut.

01:48:26.600 And if I hadn't had a bunch of tapes that I played after I got killed, as you know, 17 got killed in this situation very mysteriously.

01:48:37.280 You know, I've spent a lot of time, and I've lost a lot of money, and it's hurt my family a whole lot.

01:48:45.260 And it's really got me disgusted with Lyndon in one way, and one way I feel real, it's hard for him.

01:48:54.700 If that's real, that changes history.

01:49:01.740 It shows that there was a cover-up not only of Lyndon B. Johnson trying to hire somebody to assassinate Kennedy,

01:49:11.140 but also that there were other situations that he helped cover up where other people were losing their lives.

01:49:19.160 Brad?

01:49:19.720 Brad?

01:49:20.340 So, needless to say, the moment this tape came out, I was like, well, I luckily, in my—my wife said at one point,

01:49:27.900 when did you become Forrest Gump?

01:49:29.680 Because she—because I happen to know Clifton Carter's daughter.

01:49:33.640 She's a dear, dear friend of mine.

01:49:34.980 And he's the one who said, I've disagreed with him, and I'm going to take this one and have a hard time swallowing it.

01:49:39.780 Yeah, and I'm true blue for him, yes.

01:49:41.200 And I called her immediately.

01:49:43.140 The moment this tape came out, I said, what do you think?

01:49:45.120 And she was obviously shocked by it.

01:49:46.680 You wake up one morning, and there's a thing that's linking your dad to Kennedy.

01:49:50.440 I mean, we were like—and I said to her, what do you think?

01:49:52.840 And this was privately, not on the air.

01:49:54.060 She has nothing to prove.

01:49:54.800 And she said, I'm honest with you.

01:49:56.520 She's like, obviously—she's like, it doesn't sound like my daddy.

01:49:59.900 She calls him daddy.

01:50:01.400 And, again, we live in this world.

01:50:04.780 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:50:05.620 How did she mean that?

01:50:06.740 It doesn't—because I can say—

01:50:08.520 Like, it doesn't sound like his voice.

01:50:09.600 No, no, not content.

01:50:11.260 No, his voice.

01:50:11.900 It doesn't sound like how he speaks.

01:50:14.340 Like, it doesn't sound like his—yeah, the content, of course, she was flabbergasted by.

01:50:18.160 But she said, it just—I said, is it real?

01:50:20.080 And she's trying to figure out, of course, the same thing we all are.

01:50:23.200 And she just said, it just doesn't sound like his voice.

01:50:25.600 It doesn't sound like—

01:50:27.060 How long ago did he die?

01:50:28.920 I forget.

01:50:29.660 Now, of course, I'm going to find—you know, the first call I'm going to make it.

01:50:31.860 Is it like five years?

01:50:32.720 No, no, it's a while back.

01:50:34.320 But she was an adult when he died, I think, I believe, because he lived a long time.

01:50:38.180 And again, listen, all of us have messed up versions.

01:50:41.680 My parents are both dead.

01:50:43.060 If you play tapes for me, there may be things where I say, that's not my mom, but of course it's my mom.

01:50:48.400 My dad sounded like a mobster.

01:50:49.880 He was like, how you doing?

01:50:50.560 How you doing?

01:50:51.100 How you doing?

01:50:51.420 So you play Joe Pesci, and I'll say, it's my dad.

01:50:54.300 But the thing that just bothers me so much about where we are, Glenn, is that it's so easy to make something fake.

01:51:00.700 Now, I don't know what to believe.

01:51:01.940 And that's as honest as I can be.

01:51:03.200 Like, I always want to believe, but I'm like, show me the proof, show me the other—where this lines up and what the motivations are.

01:51:10.040 And the motivations just aren't there also for Clifton Carter either.

01:51:12.780 He's a guy in power there.

01:51:14.680 LBJ's coming in.

01:51:15.620 He's—I mean, there's not—and here's where—

01:51:18.500 Who's this Mack Wallace guy?

01:51:19.800 I don't know Mack Wallace.

01:51:20.580 But here's what I take from it.

01:51:21.940 And this is always how I feel about when it comes to JFK.

01:51:25.340 If you want to know who killed JFK, because how are we talking this long and not talking about it, right?

01:51:30.100 If you want to know who killed JFK in the 60s, when JFK gets shot, who do we think did it?

01:51:35.360 It's to hide the Cold War.

01:51:36.340 We think it's our great enemies at the time.

01:51:37.880 Soviet Union did it. 0.66

01:51:39.140 The Cubans did it. 0.98

01:51:40.400 If you look in the 70s, when Watergate happens, who killed Kennedy when—

01:51:45.420 CIA.

01:51:46.100 CIA.

01:51:46.680 Inside job.

01:51:47.220 Now, we don't trust the government anymore.

01:51:48.540 CIA did it.

01:51:49.280 LBJ did it.

01:51:50.320 It was an inside job.

01:51:51.520 If you look in the 80s, the godfathers movies peak.

01:51:53.900 Who killed JFK?

01:51:55.200 Mob.

01:51:55.620 It was the mob.

01:51:56.240 So if you want to know who killed JFK, it's decade by decade whoever America's most afraid

01:52:00.160 of at that moment in time.

01:52:01.780 And last week, when JFK conspiracy came out, someone said, I think he was killed for UFOs.

01:52:06.840 Of course that's the popular one now, because UFOs and drones are the big thing now.

01:52:11.040 And the reason I say that is JFK and Jackie have always been a mirror of America.

01:52:19.520 All conspiracies are mirrors of America.

01:52:21.660 They show us our fears and what we worry about.

01:52:23.960 This is so amazing.

01:52:24.820 I have a podcast today.

01:52:26.340 That's exactly what we're talking about.

01:52:29.800 And it's my firm belief.

01:52:30.880 It's not the conspiracy, whether that's true or not, really doesn't matter.

01:52:34.620 It's what does it tell us about us?

01:52:38.200 Beautiful.

01:52:38.820 That's exactly right.

01:52:39.880 You're exactly right.

01:52:40.780 And to me, JFK and Jackie are the first celebrity presidents and first lady.

01:52:46.500 And I'm not talking about famous.

01:52:47.740 You know that Abraham Lincoln's famous.

01:52:49.060 Every president's famous.

01:52:49.960 But that Hollywood, they got it all.

01:52:52.420 And there's money and there's homes and there's beauty.

01:52:55.060 And we've been chasing Camelot since they left.

01:53:00.140 And some people say that's what Reagan was.

01:53:02.140 Some people say it's what the Obamas were for some.

01:53:04.180 For some, of course, it's Trump.

01:53:05.400 But to me, it's all a hollow pursuit because Camelot never existed.

01:53:12.240 It wasn't real.

01:53:13.680 And we've been chasing that forever, trying to find ourselves in this image.

01:53:18.320 Right?

01:53:18.800 And the thing we should be chasing is not fame or money or celebrity.

01:53:23.420 It's all nonsense.

01:53:25.000 The thing that one thing that JFK did better than anyone, though, is he unleashed hope.

01:53:29.600 Yeah.

01:53:29.860 That in that inaugural address, it's one of the greatest ever written, you know, beside maybe Abraham Lincoln himself.

01:53:35.140 But whatever the country is bitterly divided, and he said, let's come together.

01:53:39.580 And he unleashed that belief, whether we were there or not, that hope is there.

01:53:44.360 I'm dying to know what it's going to be on Monday.

01:53:45.980 I'm dying to know what it's in his speech on Monday.

01:53:48.560 But he also, he and Trump have some things in common with ruffling all of the establishment feathers.

01:53:57.400 Yeah.

01:53:57.720 And saying, you know, I think I'm going to shut down the CIA.

01:54:02.100 Let's let's the nukes are insanity.

01:54:04.700 I mean, he didn't make a lot of friends.

01:54:09.380 And I don't trust the intelligence community anymore.

01:54:13.600 They haven't done anything to earn my trust in a very long time.

01:54:19.900 And, you know, Trump, look at Secret Service.

01:54:23.820 Yeah, let's talk about that.

01:54:25.180 I mean, so, you know, I went to the Secret Service when I was researching and wanted to

01:54:30.080 know about presidential assassins, right?

01:54:31.960 I got to know about that.

01:54:32.900 And they told me, and this I do believe, I talked to these guys, and there are some amazing

01:54:36.880 people, as you know, there are some amazing people in the service and any law enforcement.

01:54:41.280 And they said to me that presidential assassins divide into two categories.

01:54:46.020 There's hunters and there are howlers.

01:54:48.760 And a howler makes a lot of noise, says, I hate you, I'm coming to kill you, president.

01:54:52.460 You know, makes all the noise, but they rarely take action.

01:54:56.140 They're more bark than bite.

01:54:57.860 Hunters are very different. 0.93

01:54:59.740 A hunter rarely says a word, but the hunters are the ones who pull the trigger.

01:55:04.000 And if you look at the four men who have successfully killed the president of the United

01:55:07.660 States, from Abraham Lincoln to JFK, all four of them are hunters.

01:55:12.060 And Richard Pavlik, in our book, The JFK Conspiracy, he thinks he's a hunter, but he's got a little

01:55:18.580 bit of howler in him.

01:55:20.060 And I won't ruin it again, but you'll see why he gets caught in the twist that happens.

01:55:24.140 And I believe, you know, of course, as I'm writing this book is when two different men

01:55:28.740 try to attack Trump.

01:55:30.200 And I look at that, and I know, I really do believe, sadly, whoever won, whether it was

01:55:37.560 Trump or Kamala, whoever won, there were going to be more attempts.

01:55:40.860 That is, when the country is bitterly divided is when these things happen so often.

01:55:44.760 The civil war is happening.

01:55:46.300 Abraham Lincoln, people are taking their shot multiple times.

01:55:50.340 Abraham Lincoln also has the same kind of record of safety that Donald Trump might have

01:55:57.640 this time.

01:55:58.540 I mean, they tried to kill him before he took office.

01:56:00.420 I wrote a whole book.

01:56:01.240 The Lincoln Conspiracy is literally about that thing.

01:56:03.280 They try to kill him before he gets there.

01:56:05.040 Right.

01:56:05.420 And they try and kill him, of course, when he is there.

01:56:07.480 Yeah.

01:56:07.900 You look at JFK.

01:56:09.020 They try and kill him in the beginning, divided country, right down the middle, bitter, a close

01:56:13.160 election.

01:56:13.940 Try to kill him before it, you know, they try and kill him.

01:56:16.960 Obviously, they do kill him, JFK, in 1963.

01:56:19.840 Yeah.

01:56:19.960 Those two both have this same pattern, and they both died in office.

01:56:24.580 And they both, right.

01:56:25.200 And now you hear we are in 2025, and you're telling me that it's not potentially going

01:56:31.000 to happen.

01:56:31.340 I mean, I think it's just a question of when.

01:56:33.320 And the whole thing is, and it's so sad to say, but I think we just have to, you know,

01:56:38.580 again, we're going to see another attempt.

01:56:41.480 And that's just the reality we live in when the country is bitterly divided.

01:56:45.440 And I hope we can get to something that brings us closer together.

01:56:49.280 So my security, I have two cameras on my team that were protection for one of the biggest

01:56:54.520 people in the world, that you could go anywhere in the world, and you would know them, and

01:56:59.560 they're not a celebrity.

01:57:01.640 And they work for me.

01:57:04.080 And they're very well connected.

01:57:06.620 They, you know, they're really good at what they do.

01:57:08.240 And I was driving in today, and I said, so what are you thinking about Inauguration

01:57:13.240 Day?

01:57:13.500 Because we're going to be there.

01:57:14.780 And I said, what do you think the odds are of some sort of an attack?

01:57:21.000 He calmly just looked at me and said, 50-50.

01:57:24.120 I was like, what?

01:57:25.320 You know that I was called by the Department of Homeland Security years ago to come in and

01:57:29.620 brainstorm different ways terrorists could attack the United States.

01:57:32.020 When they called me, I was like, if you're calling me, we have bigger problems than anybody

01:57:36.480 thinks, right?

01:57:37.220 I mean, they're calling a guy who writes history and fiction and thrillers.

01:57:41.000 But I was obviously honored to go in there and work with the government back then.

01:57:45.620 It was right after 9-11.

01:57:47.360 And the thing that struck me more than anything else was that.

01:57:51.240 Oh, it's 50-50.

01:57:52.140 I'm like, what are we 50-50?

01:57:53.720 Like, what are you talking about?

01:57:54.680 And the thing that's so hard, you know, D&I, after 9-11, when it first got established,

01:57:59.940 would make a list of the greatest threats that are affecting the United States right

01:58:04.120 now.

01:58:04.280 They do it every year.

01:58:04.960 You can look up this year's too.

01:58:06.920 And it used to be things like Russia or China or big countries that had military force and

01:58:12.700 they had all these other things.

01:58:13.960 And after 9-11, guess what it was?

01:58:15.700 It changed.

01:58:16.240 It was a small group of people or an individual who's committed to their cause.

01:58:20.220 Yep.

01:58:20.460 And when that happened, all of law enforcement's like, oh, crap, what do we do now, right?

01:58:27.420 Because now we're trying to plot against one person on one day doing whatever crazy plot

01:58:33.040 they're going to come up with.

01:58:34.200 That's what Richard Pavlik did in the JFK conspiracy.

01:58:37.040 He's a guy who's buying seven sticks of dynamite, right?

01:58:40.400 He goes to buy the dynamite.

01:58:41.780 Now, because of Oklahoma City, we don't let you buy dynamite and then walk around.

01:58:46.220 They say to him back then, he comes in, buys one stick, and next day he comes back and

01:58:49.480 buys another.

01:58:50.400 Third day, they're like, why do you need so much dynamite?

01:58:53.380 And he says, well, I've got to take down some tree stumps, which is how you can take

01:58:56.860 down, of course, you know, you take down tree stumps.

01:58:59.580 And they're like, okay.

01:59:01.820 But again, you know how much stuff is still out there now that anyone can do and turn into

01:59:06.860 a dirty bomb or turn into something that makes something explode, shrapnel everywhere?

01:59:10.360 And I've been to the, I've walked the inaugural pathway.

01:59:14.820 It's open to the public.

01:59:16.640 It's wide open.

01:59:17.260 It's wide open.

01:59:17.720 There's a million shots.

01:59:18.440 Be telling if he gets out, you know, they tried to stop him from getting out in 16 of

01:59:23.540 the car.

01:59:24.000 Oh, of course.

01:59:24.740 And he said, we are getting out.

01:59:27.100 JFK, JFK gets out of his plane and they're like, don't go to the crowd.

01:59:31.760 He goes to the crowd.

01:59:32.580 He's going to go to the crowd.

01:59:33.880 Brad Meltzer.

02:01:07.780 Monday at 11 Eastern time, live from the heart of the nation's capital.

02:01:13.160 We are going to start America's coverage of the golden age.

02:01:18.700 It begins on Monday with Donald J.

02:01:20.920 Trump's second inauguration.

02:01:22.880 Stu and I are going to be right there, right at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial.

02:01:28.620 You'll I mean, we're going to be right there.

02:01:30.460 You'll see the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Memorial in the capital.

02:01:34.100 Uh, and we'll be covering the, uh, the president's inaugural address and all of the pomp and ceremony.

02:01:41.740 And it begins at 11 o'clock on this radio broadcast and then continues throughout the afternoon on blaze TV.

02:01:49.320 Uh, so don't miss it.

02:01:51.520 You excited?

02:01:52.280 I, I am excited.

02:01:53.960 I wouldn't have said, I don't know.

02:01:55.780 I'm just not a big pump guy.

02:01:57.280 Yeah.

02:01:58.020 Circumstance I'm into not as much pomp.

02:02:00.120 Right.

02:02:00.380 Um, but pomp is the best part.

02:02:02.680 I don't even know what part pomp is, but I think it's the best part.

02:02:06.840 It comes first, but I am kind of interested.

02:02:08.660 I mean, it's going to be history and hopefully history that leads to something really, really positive, which I'm optimistic over.

02:02:14.340 So I don't know.

02:02:15.460 We're not in this place that often.

02:02:16.540 I feel like in America these days.

02:02:17.820 So it's good to be.

02:02:18.720 It's good place to be.

02:02:19.280 And I'm really anxious to hear his speech, uh, to see, because I think it's going to be a very positive, uplifting speech.

02:02:26.940 It's going to be, I think it's going to be clear, you know, on, uh,

02:02:30.380 and we're not dealing with this anymore, but I think it's going to be very uplifting and hopefully very uniting.

02:02:37.340 We'll find out together Monday.
