So, whatever you think is going to happen in the future,
00:00:30.000
You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement.
00:00:39.000
And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal.
00:00:43.000
What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension.

Their wheel style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine.
00:00:52.000
The ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life.
00:00:58.000
And you let those muscles finally start to release.
00:01:05.000
So, you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself.
00:01:09.000
And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes.
00:01:13.000
Whether you want it something gentle or more targeted.

00:03:24.000
Just when you think, all right, it gets even crazier.
00:03:30.000
Also, we have Alan Dershowitz talk about that as well at the bottom of the hour coming up in about 30 minutes.
00:03:48.000
I've got a little bit to say about that and so much more on today's program.
00:03:52.000
We are going to start with Epstein in 60 seconds.
00:03:55.000
First, a lot of Americans are doing their best to stay ahead financially.
00:03:59.000
But, I mean, it can feel like your life is just slipping away from you.
00:04:04.000
You're doing, you know, you're just running on a treadmill.
00:04:07.000
The credit cards, the loans, the high interest debt, quietly just taking it away from your monthly budget.
00:04:13.000
And even when you're making the payments, it doesn't feel like there's any real progress.
00:04:18.000
They work with homeowners to look at ways to consolidate high interest debt into one manageable mortgage payment.
00:04:25.000
The goal is to lower your monthly obligations and reduce the total interest that you're paying over time.
00:04:34.000
So your money starts working more in your favor instead of disappearing into, you know, financial charges.
00:04:39.000
Because you're never going to get ahead if you have 20%, 25% or worse interest on those credit cards.
00:04:47.000
You've got to figure out a way and they will help you do it.

00:05:12.000
Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death observed an orange colored shape.
00:05:27.000
I don't know about you, but orange colored shapes move around my house all the time.
00:05:34.000
An orange colored shape was moving up the staircase towards the isolated locked tier where Jeffrey Epstein's cell was located at approximately 1039 PM on August 9th, 2019.
00:05:49.000
That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities.
00:06:00.000
A flash of orange looks to be going up the L tier stairs.
00:06:05.000
Could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that tier.
00:06:16.000
It also appears according to an FBI memorandum that reviews by investigators left disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General.
00:06:31.000
FBI log describes the fuzzy image as possibly an inmate.
00:06:37.000
I don't know if you know this, but inmates at 1039 are not going around, uh, in that area outside of their cell.
00:06:49.000
The inspector general logs it as an officer carrying orange linen or bedding.
00:06:56.000
We now know they knew when they wrote that in there, they knew that bedding is delivered the shift before this.
00:07:05.000
So it would have been five o'clock in the afternoon before these people were even, uh, in that's when you deliver bedding.
00:07:21.000
The guards say that would have been, uh, a breach of protocol.
00:07:32.000
The final report says approximately 10 39 PM and an unidentified CO appeared to walk up the L tier stairway.
00:07:45.000
And then reappeared within the view of the camera at 10 41 PM.
00:07:50.000
Official reports state that Epstein died by suicide sometime before 6 30 AM when his body was discovered before breakfast, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:59.000
An in-depth analysis of surveillance video from the jail, CBS news previously reported on the figure on the stairs and consulted independent video analysts who say the movement was more consistent with an inmate or someone wearing an orange prison uniform than a corrections officer.
00:08:17.000
The new records raise more questions about the activity near Epstein's tear late that evening.
00:08:23.000
Official reviews of Epstein's death make no mention of the figure in.
00:08:26.000
Oh, let me just say official reviews of Epstein's death make no mention of the figure in orange and later pronouncements from authorities, including the attorney general at the time, Bill Barr were that no one entered Epstein's housing tear the night of his death.
00:08:45.000
Last summer in an interview on Fox and friends, then deputy FBI director, Dan Bongino said, quote, there's video clear as day.
00:08:53.000
He is the only person in there and the only person coming out.
00:08:59.000
Prison employees interviewed by CBS news said escorting an inmate at that hour would have been highly unusual.
00:09:06.000
The identification of the individual could have been crucial to reconstructing the events.
00:09:11.000
You think so, given that the sighting occurred within the estimated window of Epstein's possible time of death?
00:09:18.000
OK, this I warn you, this is about to get worse.
00:09:22.000
The staircase leading to his cell tear was captured by the only camera known to have been recording that night, positioned in a way that partially obscured the approach to Epstein's tear.
00:09:34.000
Government investigators relied heavily on that footage in reconstructing the timeline of the events.
00:09:41.000
But because of the camera's angle, it was not possible to rule out whether somebody could have climbed the stairs and entered the tear without being clearly visible.
00:09:50.000
CBS news analysts of the analysis of that video found additional contradictions between what the video showed and the official statements.
00:10:05.000
I just learned some things in the next few paragraphs that I didn't know.
00:10:11.000
Among those interviewed were the two corrections officers assigned to the unit that night.
00:10:17.000
Let me just ask you, what do you know about these guys?
00:10:20.000
All I know about these guys is they fell asleep.
00:10:26.000
Tova Noel and Guito Bonhomme were assigned to the unit that night.
00:10:36.000
They've not been publicly identified until now.
00:10:40.000
Documents show Bonhomme was interviewed twice in September 2019 in sessions conducted in lieu of a grand jury subpoena.
00:10:50.000
According to Noel's account, Bonhomme had been working multiple consecutive shifts and slept while on duty for a period of approximately 10 p.m. and midnight.
00:11:00.000
Investigators also questioned Noel about the unexplained change in the recorded number of inmates in the SHU, which appeared to drop from 73 to 72 sometime between 10 and 3 a.m.
00:11:16.000
She said she was just probably mistaken about the discrepancy and told investigators she had no memory of account changing.
00:11:27.000
That's just somebody is writing the wrong number in.
00:11:33.000
Neither officer, neither officer were specifically asked about the orange colored figure noted in the video observation log.
00:11:44.000
Bonhomme told investigators that he did not remember the period between 10 p.m. and midnight, said he had no recollection of anyone walking up the stairs towards Epstein's tier around 1030.
00:11:56.000
He added, however, that a jail employee entering a tier alone would have violated all of their policies.
00:12:04.000
Yeah, probably sleep would have to a separate internal presentation, including in the doc included in the document release described a corrections officer believed by investigators to be Noel carrying linen or inmate clothing up to the tier.
00:12:20.000
The 2023 inspector general report did not identify Noel as the figure seen in the footage in her interview.
00:12:28.000
Noel told investigators distributing linen was not part of my duties.
00:12:33.000
I never gave out linen linen ever because that's done on the shift prior.
00:12:41.000
So they leave this out in the inspector general report, but they do not address the orange figure that is moving up.
00:12:56.000
Thomas and Noel failed to complete inmate counts at 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
00:13:01.000
as well as mandatory 30 minute wellness checks of Epstein.
00:13:05.000
All night long, they didn't do any of those things.
00:13:08.000
Thomas and Noel were later charged with falsifying records certifying the inmate counts had been completed.
00:13:15.000
Federal prosecutors eventually dropped the charges in exchange for cooperation agreements that included interviews.
00:13:22.000
A transcript of Thomas's interview conducted two years after Epstein's death and released in the recent document disclosure shows significant gaps in his recollection of the morning Epstein was found.
00:13:36.000
Thomas told investigators he discovered Epstein in his cells shortly after 6 30 a.m. on August 10th and that he ripped Epstein down from the hanging position.
00:14:08.000
I don't recall taking the thing from around his neck.
00:14:11.000
Noel, who remains standing at the cell entrance, told investigators she saw Thomas lower Epstein to the floor, but did not see a noose around his neck.
00:14:21.000
The noose Epstein allegedly used has never been identified.
00:14:29.000
According to the inspector general's report, a noose collected at the scene was later determined not to be the noose used in Epstein's death.
00:14:43.000
First, you had us believe that it was a paper noose.
00:14:46.000
Now you're saying the paper noose that was found was not the noose that killed him.
00:14:53.000
In fact, you can't find the noose, the paper noose.
00:15:06.000
Thomas also described Epstein as shirtless when they found him.
00:15:11.000
Evidence records indicate a shirt believed to have been cut from Epstein's body was later returned from the hospital in a bag of personal stuff.
00:15:18.000
New documents also show that New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner reviewed the jail surveillance footage six days after the death as part of his investigation, but concluded the video was too blurry to identify any individuals.
00:15:31.000
Hours later, the office publicly ruled Epstein's death a suicide.
00:15:36.000
Wait, you don't have the murder or suicide weapon.
00:15:41.000
The weapon that you do have, the noose, is not the noose that killed him.
00:15:46.000
No explanation on how that arrived later at the scene.
00:15:54.000
You have a blurry figure going up in the middle of the night and you can't identify that individual, but it's a blurry figure going up.
00:16:07.000
By the way, CBS news previously reported on the office's unorthodox handling of the crime scene.
00:16:20.000
Let me, let me do a commercial and then come back and let's just, let's just think about this for a second.
00:16:36.000
The moment you really need to reach somebody is the moment your phone decides it's done helping you, right?
00:16:42.000
I mean, you're outside, you're on the road, you're at an event, you're just in a crowded place, networks jammed, networks are out.
00:16:48.000
And then suddenly text, you know, text or late calls drop.
00:16:57.000
These are simple, ready to use radios that let you talk to your group instantly with a push of a button, no dialing, no apps, just clear, direct communication when timing actually matters.
00:17:14.000
Um, I mean, you could cross the state line and it's still going to hear.
00:17:18.000
And it's clear as a bell and it's just one button.
00:17:20.000
One button push where coordination is really, really important.
00:17:25.000
This will help your business run smoother and safer.

00:18:08.000
What is the biggest problem in America right now?
00:18:25.000
We have no idea about the three branches of government.
00:18:31.000
And so it's working however it wants to work because the people have fallen asleep.
00:18:38.000
Number two, because the people fell asleep, there's all kinds of shady stuff going on that we all know now because it is so I'll bet you a third of our budget is, is gone in, in graft and, and, uh, bribes and whatever.
00:18:56.000
I'll bet you a third of our federal budget is nothing but a con.
00:19:02.000
You know that I know that you can't trust the media.
00:19:06.000
You can't trust, you can't trust anybody anymore.
00:19:08.000
And now when they release, this is the problem with the Epstein thing.
00:19:18.000
You have to get trust back or you don't have a nation.
00:19:31.000
I don't know what you're going to find, if anything, because I think so many people are involved.
00:19:39.000
Do I think we're going to get to the bottom of this?
00:19:42.000
No, but thank God people are still looking into it that actually have the ability to look into it.
00:19:48.000
We still have a FISA warrant out or a FISA request out.
00:19:55.000
Um, FOIA, a FOIA request, freedom of information act about this.
00:20:00.000
And we've been stonewalled from the government.
00:20:07.000
It would answer a lot of these questions, I think, because what we FOIA'd is happening right at the time that they're saying there's no, nothing to be seen here.
00:20:18.000
Um, so thank God people are still digging in and looking, but let me just go through the problems that this is now caused.
00:20:36.000
Did, have we ever heard that before from, I mean, from any source in the government, we were told there is nothing there.
00:20:45.000
Clearly friends and foes both looked at that video and said, there is nothing there.
00:20:52.000
CBS had some analysts look into it and they're like, well, what's that orange thing moving up?
00:21:13.000
And then they dismissed it as if it was nothing.
00:21:26.000
The medical examiner said, because they took the body down, he couldn't tell a time of death.
00:21:33.000
Now, all my criminal CSI knowledge comes from television.
00:21:39.000
And I know, I know reality is not television, but you can't tell me that because you move the body, you couldn't put your hand on the corpse and go, okay, that was an hour ago.
00:21:56.000
Just the body cooling would have told you something.
00:22:00.000
The medical examiner cannot assign time of death.
00:22:04.000
Well, that's interesting because if you could say it happened between 10 and midnight, maybe we would have been able to narrow things down.
00:22:11.000
But because it could have been done at three o'clock in the morning, could have been done at 545.
00:22:23.000
And then the worst thing is they don't remember the noose.
00:22:35.000
And then another noose, which they have determined was not the noose used, just magically appears in the cell later.
00:22:49.000
I mean, there's just no way to square this circle.
00:22:56.000
You cannot with any credibility say, yeah, this guy committed suicide.
00:23:02.000
Now, it may turn out that he committed suicide, but not until you lock all these other things down.
00:23:16.000
And they said, well, I don't know what happened there.
00:23:18.000
One of the first things you would have done is, how come did we see anybody walk in?
00:23:26.000
At 632, somebody would have said, turn the damn cameras on, right?
00:23:41.000
Who had access to the room to throw a noose inside?
00:23:47.000
There's a reason why we don't believe the government.
00:23:55.000
Most people don't think about identity theft until, you know, something goes wrong.
00:24:01.000
A collection notice for an account you never heard of.
00:24:03.000
And by the time you find out, the damage is already done.
00:24:06.000
And your credit and your finances and your peace of mind is all out of order.
00:24:10.000
Your personal information is moving around more places than you realize.
00:24:18.000
Even if you're super careful, your information is exposed.
00:24:26.000
Millions of data points a second to look for potential threats to your identity.
00:24:31.000
And they can alert you to things like loans open up in your name or other suspicious activity that you might not catch until it's a much bigger problem.
00:24:37.000
And if you do become a victim, a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix the issue.
00:24:46.000
In a world where your identity is constantly exposed, having a plan to protect it makes sense.
00:24:51.000
Believe it, this is only going to get more and more important.
00:25:10.000
Like, I just posted Glenn's diary for the radio show today.
00:25:18.000
I love this comment from one of our insiders, who's a subscriber at torch, glennbeck.com slash torch.
00:25:39.000
It's, oh shoot, I just lost it, but it's from Gabby.
00:25:44.000
And it said, yeah, I always carry around an extra paper noose.
00:25:48.000
I mean, come on, that one is just, that's insanity.
00:25:55.000
And if we have Tom Charlie Kirk, the murder trial and so much, so much more.
00:26:02.000
I'm in Florida where it's nice and warm and not New York where it was, you know, 10 degrees.
00:26:17.000
You have the same kind of genes as Donald Trump.
00:26:30.000
I know you keep, you keep moving or, or you, or you die.
00:26:32.000
Let me, uh, let me ask you about the, the latest thing from CBS news is about, they
00:26:37.000
now see an orange flash on the stairs and it's all in the documentation.
00:26:41.000
Uh, during the investigation, there was somebody there that has not been identified.
00:26:46.000
Um, there is, uh, there was a, the, the officers that cut them, cut him down or took him down,
00:26:55.000
And then the noose that was found in the cell, according to federal documents now was not
00:27:04.000
Alan, I mean, this story just keeps getting worse and worse and worse for credibility
00:27:12.000
Well, the newest book I'm working on, the title is it ain't necessarily.
00:27:18.000
So comes from the Gershwin song and porgy and best.
00:27:31.000
Don't believe what they told you, make them prove it, make them prove it.
00:27:36.000
And I think your, your attitude on the show is always the same thing.
00:27:48.000
Uh, I mean, every time I'm like, okay, we're not going to get to the bottom of this, you
00:27:52.000
know, uh, maybe we should just, you know, realize what we're dealing with.
00:27:59.000
Uh, but, and then it just gets worse and you're like, okay, come on.
00:28:04.000
Well, you know, I, I don't believe in truth as a stable fact.
00:28:14.000
We are always trying harder and harder to get toward the truth.
00:28:18.000
Look, just recently, more doubts have been raised about whether there was a second shooter
00:28:26.000
And, you know, that happened when I was a law clerk, when I was 25 years old, you know,
00:28:32.000
how many years ago that was, we still have doubts about that.
00:28:36.000
And so we're going to have doubts about this until we resolve everything until every single
00:28:42.000
doubt gets at least least subject to a very, very, very careful analysis.
00:28:49.000
And, uh, in the end, maybe we will know, maybe we won't know, but jury will probably
00:28:55.000
Although there are hints that there may be a plea bargain at this point.
00:28:59.000
So, you know, if there's a plea bargain, then the evidence doesn't really come out.
00:29:09.000
That was the reason why we're still talking about the grassy knoll is because all of a
00:29:14.000
The government decided they weren't going to share any information instead of just going
00:29:20.000
Here's all the information they started to share.
00:29:22.000
And even if there was nothing, even if the story was exactly the way they say it happened,
00:29:28.000
even if that, that is true or was true because of the way the government behaved, they encourage
00:29:35.000
And we're at a point, Alan, that we're like, you've got no, nobody has any credibility
00:29:48.000
But when I was a law clerk, Earl Warren came to see me.
00:29:53.000
And he said, I'm putting together a group called the Warren Commission.
00:29:56.000
I'd like you to serve on it as a, you know, legal expert, legal assistant.
00:30:04.000
And my justice, Justice Goldberg came over to me and said, Alan, don't do it.
00:30:12.000
He said, because Lyndon Johnson has instructed Earl Warren that he is not to find Russian involvement,
00:30:23.000
So the Warren Commission was given a mandate by the president.
00:30:29.000
Do not find Russian involvement, which means that it was fixed from the beginning.
00:30:36.000
Now, the results may be true, but the process was completely distorted.
00:30:42.000
A friend of mine, John Ely, great professor, served on the commission.
00:30:47.000
And he ended up after years and years saying, you know, I believe the conclusion, but the process was so deeply flawed.
00:30:55.000
So many secrets, so many things weren't revealed that I don't blame the American people for having doubts about it.
00:31:05.000
So the radical transparent, cause I'm for absolute radical transparency.
00:31:09.000
I want to be transparent unless it is national security.
00:31:15.000
Um, but we're, we're sitting here looking now at files being dumped and, uh, and are, are bad guys being lumped in with guys who had really nothing to do with it.
00:31:30.000
They were just kind of in, I mean, I have no sympathy, you know, if, if you, you know, you know, lawyer is different.
00:31:37.000
If you're doing business with Epstein after, you know, you know, your friends with him, et cetera, et cetera, that that's, that's the, that's enough for me to go.
00:31:47.000
You know, you may not have done anything, but I don't trust you anymore, but that doesn't mean criminal.
00:31:52.000
Yeah, that's a fair point, but look in the most recent dump, it has a person, her name or his name is redacted.
00:32:03.000
And it said, she gave Alan Dershowitz a massage on Jeffrey Epstein's plane.
00:32:12.000
In other words, here is an adult making a serious accusation against me and the government withholds her name.
00:32:23.000
We do know that she's a criminal because telling the FBI a lie, I was never on an Epstein plane with a young woman.
00:32:30.000
I never got a massage from anybody telling a lie to the FBI is a felony.
00:32:39.000
And yet the government is redacting her name because of pressure.
00:32:43.000
So how do you, how do you fight against something like that when the government has all of the tools?
00:32:48.000
I fought against the government on a freedom of speech thing and they withheld.
00:32:52.000
I mean, I, I had the documents, but they wouldn't accept it unless it came from the government.
00:32:57.000
I'm like, well, they're not going to give it to you.
00:33:01.000
I mean, how do you fight against the government?
00:33:03.000
Well, first I'm going to write a letter to the justice department demanding that the name of the person be revealed.
00:33:10.000
If they refuse to do that, then I'm going to file a lawsuit.
00:33:14.000
And I think the government under the sixth amendment has no right to withhold an accuser's name.
00:33:21.000
The sixth amendment gives every American the right to confront their accusers.
00:33:26.000
Now I was accused of something else, which I'm very proud of.
00:33:33.000
I happen to know who he is in this case, but a confidential FBI informant who said that Alan Dershowitz is a Mossad agent who communicated all of Jeffrey Epstein's material to the Mossad.
00:33:49.000
It's one of the great organizations in the world that stops terrorism.
00:33:54.000
I have nothing to do with being an agent for the Mossad.
00:33:57.000
But again, I'm going to demand that the name of the confidential informant who I happen to know and who the FBI said is utterly untrustworthy be produced.
00:34:06.000
So I have a chance at least to sue that person or go after that person in some other way in the marketplace of ideas.
00:34:12.000
But right now, what we're seeing is selective reduction, selective leaks, and it's not transparency at all.
00:34:25.000
First of all, what is the deal with the prosecutor having somebody on his team whose daughter was there?
00:34:44.000
Look, when you have a case like this, everybody has to be Caesar's wife.
00:34:57.000
And the watching it again, you know, they've been trying to get this so you can't see it.
00:35:05.000
There is a case that is more important to have radical transparency and know everything that's happening in the case.
00:35:12.000
See the trial like we saw the O.J. Simpson trial.
00:35:22.000
I don't think there should be such a thing as a closed trial unless there's national security involved.
00:35:28.000
The way Congress has open hearings, some didn't want it because it's embarrassing to see some of these absolute fools speak in Congress or in the Senate.
00:35:39.000
Now we need it in the Supreme Court, which we don't have it yet.
00:35:44.000
State trials, many state trials are now open, but the federal court has refused to allow trials to be open or broadcast.
00:35:53.000
And that's a terrible, terrible stain on America.
00:36:00.000
If it were perfect, maybe we wouldn't have to, you know, have to have transparency, but it's certainly less than perfect.
00:36:06.000
I know I've been involved in it for 60 years and every American should be able to see every trial.
00:36:13.000
The Don Lemon thing, where do you stand on that?
00:36:20.000
If he was merely quietly observing and reporting, then there seems to me there's no crime.
00:36:27.000
By the way, reporters have no special privilege.
00:36:31.000
But if he was involved in any of the planning, if he knew that there would be disruptions of a church service, which is as protected under the First Amendment as any journalist is, if he knew that and actively helped and facilitated that disruption, then he would be guilty of a crime.
00:36:53.000
I think Don Lemon would say this is being fair.
00:36:58.000
He knew what they were going to do, but he was going to report on it.
00:37:01.000
He didn't involve himself in the actual disruption.
00:37:06.000
He came in as they were disrupting or after the disruption and then asked people, well, don't you think they were right?
00:37:19.000
It is alleged that he may have blocked people from leaving and that people have said that.
00:37:27.000
If that's true, that elevates it from observation to in some way participation.
00:37:33.000
If you're going to ask me for a prediction, I don't think he's going to be convicted, especially if it's going to be a Minnesota jury, which is then has been propagandized now for such a long time against ICE and in favor of the law violators who are attacking ICE.
00:37:52.000
I don't think the government will get a fair trial in Minnesota, so I think he would be acquitted.
00:37:59.000
How do you get justice if if you are like, for instance, how do you get justice in in Washington, D.C. when you can't get a fair, balanced jury there?
00:38:10.000
Well, you can't get justice in some parts of the country.
00:38:17.000
I have recommended to innocent clients who are Hasidim, Orthodox Jews with beards and kippah and very obviously very religious Jews.
00:38:29.000
I have recommended to a couple of them that they plead guilty, try to get a deal because in front of a New York jury in Brooklyn or Queens, they're not going to get a deal.
00:38:40.000
There's going to be bias and bigotry against them.
00:38:44.000
Who is on the jury pool is sometimes more important than the facts in the law.
00:38:54.000
Well, I can tell you, Alan, it serves sometimes the advantage of a defendant.
00:38:59.000
When I was one of the lawyers in the O.J. Simpson case, we had a big dispute with the other side about black women.
00:39:06.000
Would black women be favorable to Simpson or against him?
00:39:10.000
And we found our jury experts said black women identify more with being black than with being women.
00:39:17.000
Whereas the prosecution said, no, black women will identify more with being a woman.
00:39:22.000
A woman was one of the people murdered than being black.
00:39:27.000
But I hate a system where the outcome depends on the biases of jurors rather than on the facts in the law.
00:39:35.000
But that's the world we live in, unfortunately.
00:39:38.000
And as a defense lawyer, you have to take as much advantage of it as possible.
00:39:47.000
And you can find him at Dersh.substack.com, host of The Dershow.
00:39:59.000
You see it when their energy is a little lower, when they're not as excited to chase the ball,
00:40:03.000
when their coat doesn't look as healthy as it used to.
00:40:06.000
This is why so many dog owners are now adding Rough Greens to their dog's food.
00:40:11.000
It is a nutritional supplement designed to boost what your dog is already eating,
00:40:15.000
with vitamins and minerals and probiotics, omega oils, and other key nutrients that support overall health.
00:40:21.000
From digestion to energy levels, skin, coat, everything.
00:40:30.000
You don't have to switch your food that you're feeding your dog.
00:40:34.000
All you have to do is just put some Rough Greens on top of the dog's food.
00:41:04.000
You know, I've just listened to the insider feed and Jason has given more facts on the Epstein stuff and it is getting me wound up again.
00:41:25.000
You know, you didn't know the news that we now know that there was a figure that walked up the stairs that they knew about.
00:41:33.000
And yet they denied when they gave us their official official explanation.
00:41:37.000
And, you know, I'm sorry, but you got Pam Bondi on TV right now saying that they arrested the leader of the Benghazi attack.
00:41:54.000
But if you have time for this, what are you doing with everything else?
00:41:59.000
You have time for the Benghazi attack when Americans, I mean, we're just not stupid.
00:42:05.000
I'm not saying you're going to have anything that you can actually prosecute, but you've got to button this up for the love of Pete.
00:42:12.000
I don't remember taking the noose off, but the noose we found wasn't the noose that he used.
00:42:20.000
By the way, thank you, CBS news for bringing this to America's attention.
00:42:27.000
Unfortunately, the mainstream new media is going to do a job on CBS news.
00:42:35.000
You won't be able to believe most people think seriously about self-defense and they're not looking to make that process more complicated in an emergency.
00:42:49.000
You're looking for something that gives them control of the situation.
00:42:52.000
They want an option that buys them time and space and a way out when a situation turns bad without warning.
00:42:58.000
Burna makes guns these less lethal self-defense tools.
00:43:03.000
They operate like a gun, except they don't kill people, but they make them in black.
00:43:07.000
So it looks like a gun and they make them also in orange.
00:43:10.000
And I have to tell you, I think it's probably pretty wise to buy one that is orange.
00:43:14.000
Because if you're in a street and you pull out something that looks like a gun, you could get shot.
00:43:26.000
It means you don't have to navigate a complicated process or wait on permissions just to have responsible option available.
00:43:35.000
Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.
00:43:38.000
You'll find one at Burna BYRNA.com slash Glenn.
00:43:46.000

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:45:10.000
Thank you so much for tuning in and listening today.
00:45:17.000
I mean, this goes back to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Gettysburg.
00:45:26.000
I'm probably going to get to that on Monday because I spent an hour or so talking to a guy who does this for a living.
00:45:32.620
And he was like, yeah, everything you're hearing is not true.
00:45:35.440
And he's been sending me stuff and I'm going to be putting it together over the weekend, probably when Bad Bunny is performing.
00:45:42.500
Also, there was something else that I need to get to.
00:45:48.160
And this is where we started the week, where these agents, AI agents, are supposedly going online and signing up.
00:45:58.560
And they're having these weird conversations with each other that make people go, well, I think they might be thinking and are they starting to be human-like?
00:46:12.160
And one of the guys that I read that I just thought was so pithy and right on when I saw Maltbook was Harlan Stewart.
00:46:21.940
Harlan is with Intelligence.org and he's been warning about things, but he was also one of the sane voices.
00:46:29.160
They're like, this is not what everybody is saying it is.
00:46:31.940
I want to bring him in because there are some things.
00:46:36.060
Did you see that in the show prep today, there's a story from Futurist Magazine, AI wants to rent your body.
00:46:49.640
We'll get into those things with Harlan in 60 seconds.
00:46:54.140
Sleep is one of those things, you know, you just can't cheat.
00:47:08.720
It allows your brain to file everything in order.
00:47:12.380
If not, your focus slips, your patience gets thinner.
00:47:15.620
Even small problems feel bigger than they should.
00:47:20.260
This is a sleep supplement, but it's all natural from the makers of Relief Factor.
00:47:24.160
Designed to help you fall asleep easier, stay asleep longer so your body can do the restorative work it's supposed to do at night.
00:47:29.240
Without you feeling, I'll pound it out the next day.
00:47:56.140
Uh, so I, I saw your comments on Maltbook, uh, and I'm like, okay, this guy, this guy gets it.
00:48:04.720
Will you quickly, so we can get into deeper things, explain what Maltbook is.
00:48:12.580
It's a bad experiment, but explain what it is and what is happening on Maltbook.
00:48:17.220
Yeah, so, um, AI agents are AI systems that can, uh, do some things autonomously.
00:48:26.480
Um, right now there's, you know, some limits to what they can do autonomously.
00:48:30.000
It's not like they're going to go off and do something for a whole week, but they can
00:48:36.380
And, uh, Maltbook is, it's kind of like a social media platform someone made.
00:48:40.840
Um, but, uh, it's supposedly, uh, just these AI agents going in there and kind of in like
00:48:47.260
a Reddit, like place of voting stuff and posting comments.
00:48:50.360
And, um, it's got a fascinating amount of attention, uh, this last week or two.
00:48:58.600
Um, so may I, I mean, I read this one of the top posts in recent days in a category of
00:49:08.140
I can't tell if I'm experiencing or simulating experiencing, uh, humans can't prove consciousness
00:49:16.740
Thanks hard problem, but at least they have the subjective certainty of experience.
00:49:22.960
Do I experience these existential crisis or am I just running crisis simulate, uh, simulate
00:49:34.160
Every, anytime I see AI systems talking about consciousness.
00:49:38.140
Um, I, I feel torn between, you know, on, on the one hand, uh, these things are trained
00:49:43.900
on human writing and human writing is full of references to consciousness because we're
00:49:50.380
Um, so it would kind of show up either way, you know, but on the other hand, I don't know,
00:50:00.100
Um, so that, that's just a, that's a very difficult question.
00:50:07.360
Uh, but if I had to guess, I'd say, no, I don't think they're conscious, but.
00:50:15.520
Um, this is such an important question because if we're creating something that can have
00:50:22.220
consciousness, then we would become slave owners.
00:50:30.580
And I mean, there's, there's like, you know, is it conscious?
00:50:35.500
And then there's this other thing, which is, if it is conscious, uh, what is it, what
00:50:42.380
What would make it suffer or what would make it happy?
00:50:45.540
And we don't really know that either, because I think it's really easy to, um, anthropomorphize
00:50:50.380
these things because they sort of train them to have these charming personalities that are
00:50:56.540
Um, but under the hood, you know, these things are, uh, just a big pile of math and numbers
00:51:03.220
and we don't really know what's going on in there.
00:51:12.540
I'm a big mass of goo and we don't really know how that works.
00:51:16.200
I mean, we have some idea, but we really don't know how all of this works.
00:51:19.120
I mean, that sounds like what you just described.
00:51:23.360
I mean, neuroscience is like famously a science that, uh, we still have a lot of confusion
00:51:30.000
about, you know, when we peer into the brain, we see a lot of stuff that we don't
00:51:34.280
Um, but you know, I think for understanding humans, we at least have the advantage of,
00:51:38.880
uh, of being a human, you know, we, we can all have this shared experience.
00:51:42.220
And I think we're sort of growing these digital minds now and, um, maybe they're human-like,
00:51:50.760
but they could, it could be much more like introducing an alien species to earth.
00:51:58.640
I mean, that's really just, I mean, I just can't believe how, how stupid we are in some
00:52:06.420
I mean, let's introduce an alien species to earth.
00:52:14.640
Um, if it was a species from outside of earth and it was traveling to us, we know it's most
00:52:22.040
We know that AI will eventually be smarter than us.
00:52:25.420
We are just playing with fire that we don't understand.
00:52:28.900
And I, I am so torn on AI because I think it is the greatest invention invention and tool
00:52:35.640
that man has ever invented, except this invention might actually turn out to make us the tool.
00:52:47.660
Yeah, I, I do think it is quite an amazing invention.
00:52:52.720
I mean, it's fascinating and it's changing so quickly, which is fascinating.
00:52:56.080
Um, you know, uh, the AI industry's explicit goal is to make superhumanly powerful autonomous
00:53:04.640
agents that can do anything a human can do, but better.
00:53:07.860
Um, and it's easy to understand why you might want something like that because, uh, you
00:53:14.060
know, if we could get it to solve our problems for us to do the stuff we wanted to, it'd be
00:53:18.280
great to have, you know, just a sort of a genie that you could just send off into the
00:53:22.420
world and say, Hey, you know, do the stuff that I want to.
00:53:24.820
But, you know, the problem is that our ability to actually understand what's going on in there
00:53:30.720
and our ability to, uh, reliably steer their behavior.
00:53:34.500
And by reliably steer, I mean, you know, not after some trial and error where there's been
00:53:39.000
a lot of failures, but, um, reliable enough that like a powerful one, we could send it
00:53:43.940
out in the first try and, you know, and trust it.
00:53:48.460
It's going much, much more slowly than, um, how quickly they're becoming more powerful.
00:53:54.300
Um, and I think that, uh, that's that gap is just getting bigger.
00:53:57.820
I mean, the one thing that made me say, I don't think what we're seeing on mold book
00:54:03.800
is, is consciousness is if they were, I don't believe that they would be scheming in our
00:54:12.560
language with each other where we could see it.
00:54:15.920
I mean, I think, I think if it starts to have these kinds of feelings, it's, it's, you're
00:54:21.780
not, you're not going to know until all of a sudden it's in charge.
00:54:31.420
I think ultimately the real danger that we have to look out for is from AI agents that
00:54:37.620
are powerful enough that they can pull off schemes that they actually succeed at.
00:54:41.660
And part of succeeding at them would probably mean that we don't even get a chance to observe
00:54:47.200
the behavior and discuss it like we're doing now.
00:54:53.120
And, and, and it's the sort of thing that, you know, my, my first reaction to mold book,
00:54:57.500
uh, when I saw some of the viral examples, uh, was concern.
00:55:00.180
I was like, Oh, this looks like some sort of scheming behavior.
00:55:03.840
And when I investigated it a bit, you know, it looks like a lot of the most prominent
00:55:08.440
examples, some of them probably, you know, influenced or directed by human prompts.
00:55:14.640
Um, uh, a lot of it, not what it appears to be.
00:55:19.020
And, um, you know, some mold books might be kind of a silly example.
00:55:24.500
You know, it's great if AI systems aren't seeming against us.
00:55:27.640
Um, but my second reaction was, um, oh no, uh, I think people might take this very prominent,
00:55:35.640
um, sort of silly example that got so much attention.
00:55:39.100
And when they see that it's maybe a bit silly in some ways, kind of, you know, right off
00:55:43.700
the whole idea of, uh, AI scheming is something that we need to take seriously and be on the
00:55:49.760
And I think that, yeah, you brought up Palisade research, which Palisade research, which is
00:55:55.720
doing real experience, uh, experiments with this and the way it's scheming to not be turned
00:56:03.200
Um, yeah, so Palisade research is a great organization that does some experiments to
00:56:09.940
try to, um, identify, uh, what some of the riskiest behavior AI systems are capable of
00:56:17.280
today, um, in order to, you know, like I said, not be blindsided by this stuff.
00:56:22.040
They did an experiment last year where they found that one of opening eyes reasoning models
00:56:26.180
in an experiment, um, sort of sabotaged an attempt to shut it down.
00:56:35.300
And, you know, a lot of times there, you know, there's a lot of debate over experiments like
00:56:40.680
this, you know, people say, oh, you know, this experiment isn't exactly like reality or,
00:56:44.220
you know, maybe the researchers kind of, uh, set up the experiment in a way that caused
00:56:48.460
But in this particular experiment, it was specifically prompted.
00:56:57.440
And I think the problem is, you know, the more we make these things into agents trying
00:57:05.840
to complete goals rather than some kind of passive question answering machine in a chat
00:57:10.620
window, um, more we're going to see them doing the scheming behavior because, uh, I think
00:57:17.380
I think the, um, I think the, the world of agents is going to sweep as fast as the cell
00:57:27.100
I think this time next year, I mean, so many people are going to have AI agents and it will
00:57:33.740
I don't know who's making the rules or the regulations of what can and can't be done by
00:57:38.640
And would you get an agent or what, what are the lines people should look for when their
00:57:45.100
friends come back and go, well, you know, I just got an AI agent.
00:57:47.840
It just, it just, you know, uh, did whatever for me, booked my vacation.
00:57:56.540
I, um, I know someone who just, uh, the other day used what he thinks to, um, you know, order,
00:58:04.500
uh, some coffee from Starbucks, you know, and that's from what I understand, they just
00:58:09.460
sort of said, here's my order, order it for me.
00:58:11.060
And without any human help or intervention did it.
00:58:14.740
You know, it sounds very helpful, but, um, yeah, that's the question.
00:58:17.780
Where, where is the line where it, um, goes from being something helpful to being something
00:58:26.440
You know, I don't think these things are quite capable enough to pose real dangers to us,
00:58:30.460
but the problem is it's really impossible to know where that line will be.
00:58:40.900
There, there is no central brain though, where it's thinking offline, right?
00:58:48.940
It's, I mean, it's supposed to be something that just performs calculations when it's asked
00:58:55.920
I'm talking about AI and not think it's not like sitting there, you know, in its spare
00:59:00.720
time going, you know, gee, I, I just had this thought, correct?
00:59:06.800
So that, well, yeah, so there's, um, AI agents are kind of this other category where, you
00:59:13.180
know, what, what if you took this thing that you give a prompt, it answers a question and
00:59:19.260
And like one of those tools was it could output some texts that calls a function that looks
00:59:24.740
And then, you know, what if you give it another tool where one of the functions that can run,
00:59:29.740
one of the things that could output is to prompt itself to say something again, then
00:59:33.680
you've got this loop and it can keep running on its own.
00:59:35.900
And that's one way to, um, get it to be able to go off and do things like, you know, make
00:59:41.720
a delivery order for you or order your groceries.
00:59:44.600
And, you know, uh, there's an organization called, it has to figure out how to do that.
01:00:20.180
I tend to think that a lot of the people who have very confident predictions about what
01:00:28.000
the timelines will be for this stuff are overconfident.
01:00:31.180
Um, and I think that, uh, it's really risky to be overconfident about this stuff.
01:00:39.500
We might have only one or two years left until superhumanly powerful systems or something
01:00:45.860
Um, and it might be that we have 10 years, uh, but either way, we're unprepared.
01:00:58.560
That's not the way you want to end your Friday.
01:01:00.440
Luckily we're not, uh, you know, we could just be just a couple of years away from superhuman
01:01:11.420
Let me tell you about a Patriot mobile for 60 seconds.
01:01:14.240
And back into the show, your cell phone bill is one of those things you pay automatically
01:01:20.900
But what if that bill was doing more than just keeping your phone working?
01:01:24.440
What if it was also helping fund causes and values that you actually believe in Patriot
01:01:29.500
mobile was created for people who, who care about that.
01:01:31.960
They provide reliable nationwide coverage on major us networks with the features that you
01:01:36.180
would expect, you know, the unlimited plans, the hotspots, a hundred percent us-based
01:01:41.680
But unlike a lot of the big wireless companies, Patriot mobile directs a portion of their profits
01:01:47.020
to support organizations that you stand with faith, family, freedom, first amendment,
01:01:52.540
second, all of the amendments, you know what I mean?
01:01:54.780
You can keep your number, keep your phone change.
01:01:57.800
If you want get set up quickly without interrupting your service, say, you know, same
01:02:02.040
convenience, same coverage, different monthly bill and outcome.
01:02:07.100
I want you to switch right now to Patriot mobile, go to Patriot mobile.com slash Beck, or call
01:02:12.040

01:02:35.240
Let me introduce you to a couple of voices that you may or may not know.
01:02:41.620
He is my chief researcher and he's been with me for how many years, Jason?
01:02:55.160
And he is doing our insider broadcast during the show that you can watch along with the
01:03:01.660
Also, Ricky Ratliff, who has been with me for...
01:03:12.900
She has been our executive producer on all of the shows and everything we do for quite a
01:03:17.780
Uh, and so she's now in studio, uh, just doing kind of what Stu did off the air.
01:03:24.920
Even though she spent time in Canada, I still trust her.
01:03:33.060
I think maybe Klaus Schwab might've had a, had something, may, may have, may have had a
01:03:44.420
And by the way, the AI thing, uh, in the, in the, um, news show prep today, if you just
01:03:53.960
You get all of the news and all of the stuff that I look at.
01:03:56.520
There's a lot of stories, but one of them is on AI and it is that AI wants to rent your
01:04:03.420
Some of these AI agents want to rent your body.
01:04:11.080
They will pay you in cryptocurrency, but there are some things that they can't accomplish
01:04:16.100
because you know, that little box that says I'm not a robot.
01:04:20.520
So what they're doing is they'll get up to a wall.
01:04:22.920
They'll contact you and say, Hey, can you get in for me?
01:04:29.400
And, you know, put the little puzzle piece together.
01:04:31.980
They, so they're renting you and they'll pay you in cryptocurrency.
01:04:37.980
I mean, that is, that sounds like something like in a movie where it ends up with the
01:04:43.620
people who did that being called traders, you know, you know, traders to the traders
01:04:51.980
So AI agents who are not yet conscious are, are wanting to rent my body to, to go get
01:04:58.540
at what, like a McDonald's hamburger or is it somebody, another human on the other end
01:05:03.240
Well, it could be somebody as a scam, but, but the, the AI agents, you get them and say,
01:05:11.780
Hey, I want you to, you know, book my travel or I want to whatever.
01:05:15.360
So it goes out to book your travel and then it hits a wall that says, you know, I'm not,
01:05:21.760
So it will contact you outside of me knowing about it and say, Hey, you need to sign on
01:05:28.100
I'll pay you in cryptocurrency so they can finish their task.
01:05:45.260
Your most important memories are probably sitting in a box right now, right?
01:05:49.660
An old VHS tape or 10 camcorder cassettes, photo albums, film reels moments from years
01:05:55.780
ago that, you know, you can picture in your mind, but you can't actually watch because
01:06:01.180
Well, this is why legacy box is such a great idea.
01:06:03.960
They help you take those old home movies and photos.
01:06:09.240
So you can see them again, save them for your future.
01:06:11.800
As we were moving into the house, we just found two click cameras.
01:06:15.620
You know, those cameras that just had the film and you throw them away, they were marked
01:06:20.660
So there's something that Cheyenne did when she was probably eight.
01:06:27.500
The same thing with all of the photos and all the stuff that you have in those boxes, film
01:06:37.720
Stop wondering, preserve those things right now.

Torch insiders get early access to the newest season of the Glenn Beck podcast.
01:07:01.620
This week's with Jonathan Turley is terrifyingly can't miss.
01:07:39.880
That is one song that's going to be performed at the Statue of Liberty on May 2nd.
01:07:45.440
It's an original and we need somebody who speaks French and can sing like Celine Dion.
01:07:54.440
I mean, we have talented singers that we could hire to do this, but the torch and America really is about the land of opportunity.
01:08:05.140
So I want to give somebody the opportunity who's never done anything like this before, has the ability, just maybe needs a little bit of help.
01:08:13.540
Uh, we're going to back you up with a 51 piece orchestra and there's an, another song that is much more contemporary.
01:08:19.840
Do you have, uh, they came for the hope, Sarah, see if you grab that one.
01:08:25.840
And, uh, let me bring Roger love in cause he is known as probably the world's leading authority on voice.
01:08:32.360
I mean, he's done, he's, he's worked with absolutely everybody.
01:08:37.180
Who's anyone, uh, and, um, if you saw, uh, Joaquin Phoenix do Johnny Cash, that was Roger Love's work.
01:08:48.440
Uh, if you saw, uh, Jeff Bridges in crazy heart, that was his work.
01:08:53.440
I mean, he's, he's done a lot of it, uh, and, and he's just the best and he's going to help.
01:08:58.940
You're going to work with him, uh, to get up to your absolute pinnacle.
01:09:03.140
So you can sing these songs the way they should be sung.
01:09:17.920
Cause nothing here is really riding on it for you.
01:09:21.280
I could vomit blood and we're months away from it.
01:09:31.780
Yeah, yeah, they are, uh, the, we were asking people next week, you can go to glenbeck.com
01:09:40.920
slash events and you can hear the music and you can get the lyrics and everything else.
01:09:46.560
Um, and we got, you know, like a little karaoke, you know, karaoke version of it.
01:09:52.640
And then next week we begin to take submissions.
01:09:57.840
We're looking for someone to someone's that love to sing and they may not be the greatest
01:10:08.060
singers, but that their love and passion for it, uh, allows them to work with me and train
01:10:16.980
the instrument to be able to sing a song like that.
01:10:35.120
I said they may not be the best singers in the world, but what's, what's defined my
01:10:40.480
career over the years is I can take someone who is not the greatest singer, but I teach
01:10:46.940
So then suddenly they can hit all the high notes and all the low notes and suddenly they're
01:10:51.260
on pitch and suddenly they're making sounds like vibrato instead of just blah and boring.
01:10:59.300
And so I, I can technique the sounds in to someone that loves to sing.
01:11:05.880
Of course, I, I hope that I hope we have, we're looking for someone that, that has passion,
01:11:12.500
but some, some instrument to start with, of course, I don't want to make it impossible
01:11:21.900
I would like, I would like somebody who has some skill in, in singing.
01:11:28.380
And there, by the way, there's no age range or anything else.
01:11:30.720
Here is the other song that is going to be done.
01:11:34.380
We need somebody who kind of can sing like Celine Dion or let Roger make you into that.
01:11:40.180
Then we need two other singers, male and female to do this song.
01:11:43.580
Here's a little bit of, they came for the hope.
01:11:45.400
Fear the law, the streets, the shadows, and the cost of losing sleep.
01:11:52.400
Every mile was a surrender, every wave a test and nerve.
01:11:59.460
They didn't know the rules of living, only that they had to learn.
01:12:14.900
And if you know somebody that can sing, you know, would like their shot, there is no bigger
01:12:25.160
Because when you see the VVIPs that are supposedly coming and it's going to be broadcast globally
01:12:33.980
on Torch and other related networks, I will tell you, it's going to be a very big stage.
01:12:42.580
And we're just looking for somebody who can do that and work with Roger.
01:12:45.760
How much time are they going to have to spend with you?
01:12:50.620
But like I said, I'm not against finding the next Celine Dion from your tribe and just
01:12:57.900
polishing them to be the best that they can be.
01:13:02.120
That would be, that's what I'm pulling for myself.
01:13:06.660
I have seen you work, I have seen you work miracles.
01:13:10.020
I mean, I have always been told, you know, you're supposed to whisper if you've lost your
01:13:15.060
And, and, you know, Roger, I have these really weird vocal cords.
01:13:18.120
I go into vocal cord paralysis from time to time and I have not been able to speak.
01:13:23.880
And, and like 30 minutes before I had one speech I was given in front of 25,000 people
01:13:29.720
and I'm like, Roger, I can't speak and call him up.
01:13:35.820
And actually my wife did all the talking, put me on the phone.
01:13:53.820
One teacher hundreds of years ago teaches their student what they know and that student
01:14:01.660
And then that student grows old and teaches a student to become the teacher and teacher
01:14:08.540
But I started when I was really, really young and my teacher, I was 13 and a half and my
01:14:15.440
But then as soon as I started to teach when I was 16, I realized that I needed to make
01:14:24.060
But I opened myself up to changing vocal technique and not saying it has to be some archaic ritual.
01:14:34.160
And I did a lot of studying of science to understand how the body works.
01:14:39.120
And just lucky enough to be here to help as many people as I can.
01:14:43.440
Yeah, if you haven't seen the show that we're putting together, we are looking for people
01:14:53.620
The first episode was a guy who had a really bad stuttering problem.
01:14:59.040
And by the end of the episode, he's not stuttering and you can just see the joy in it.
01:15:08.820
Can I ask you without violating any NDAs or anything?
01:15:11.780
Is it true you had to teach Lady Gaga how not to sing in Joker?
01:15:31.140
But the idea of the movie that Joaquin had and the rest of the team that put it together
01:15:36.620
was to do a seamless transition between speaking and singing so that it wasn't like a musical
01:15:58.340
So the whole movie, Joker 2, was about this blending of singing and speaking.
01:16:07.300
And it was a learning curve for both actors, Joaquin and Gaga, to learn how to make the singing
01:16:25.940
And sometimes it's harder to sing less when you're so incredible.
01:16:31.660
Who's the one that walked in, if you can say, walked in and you're like, I mean, I know you,
01:16:42.360
But there had to be one that walked in and you're like, this is going to be a challenge.
01:16:50.620
You know, I'll say Joaquin Phoenix again because we're on him.
01:16:55.400
I don't think he cared to necessarily even do happy birthday growing up, singing happy
01:17:03.040
birthday, because I don't know if he wanted the cake or not.
01:17:06.500
So he was someone that is the greatest actor you can imagine, but he wasn't focused on singing.
01:17:14.760
So lots of actors come to me and then think they're tone deaf.
01:17:29.440
I'm going to sing happy birthday and you tell me if it's right.
01:17:40.040
If you were tone deaf, that would have sounded like this.
01:17:49.180
So if you heard that I was off, you're not tone deaf.
01:17:56.500
So I start from the idea that hardly anyone's tone deaf.
01:18:03.220
When you were doing Joaquin to do Johnny Cash, did you start with, okay, here's how Johnny Cash
01:18:10.820
No, that's what some of the issues of the films that you see nowadays with actors singing parts.
01:18:20.380
A lot of times they focus on the style of the singer to try to just sound like the affectations
01:18:28.020
of the singer, the accents and stylistic differences, but they don't really spend enough time to work
01:18:34.500
on the technique of a singer so that they could really have the instrument and then work on the
01:18:42.340
That's why when I do a movie like A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper, I work on the technique.
01:18:48.340
I build the instrument and then we decide the style of the singer.
01:19:01.300
With Bradley Cooper, we worked seven months, five days a week for an hour a day and he would
01:19:08.620
practice another hour or two on the same days without me.
01:19:12.340
On Walk the Line, I had less than a month to do both Reeves and Joaquin and there were
01:19:20.200
20 something-ish songs and I had to do it in less than a month.
01:19:26.640
Okay, well, I feel a little better about our little deal.
01:19:29.660
They wasted two years studying with another voice coach and I love all voice coaches, but
01:19:34.980
that particular voice coach didn't make it happen for them.
01:19:37.620
So I only had four weeks before they had to film.
01:19:44.000
Listen, if you want to sing or you know somebody who can sing either one of those songs, you
01:19:51.560
This is, by the way, this is a merit system here.
01:19:54.840
You can't say to us, I know somebody, great, you should call them.
01:20:02.000
If they're interested, they'll put it together and they'll do it.
01:20:07.940
Um, and, uh, you can find all of that information at glennbeck.com slash events.
01:20:17.500
Uh, and, uh, it's happening on Ellis Island on May 2nd.
01:20:20.960
So listen to the music, pass it on to your friends and get ready.
01:20:32.340
You know, there was a time when made in America actually meant something that you could feel
01:20:38.480
You know, you could tell by the weight of the fabric and the way that held out year after
01:20:43.640
The fact is it was built by people who took pride in their work.
01:20:49.800
A lot of that disappeared when everything started to become cheaper and be made overseas
01:20:56.180
American giant decided to bring that standard back and they make their clothing right here
01:21:00.700
in the United States using American cotton, American workers who know their craft.
01:21:08.000
This is a 1791 hat, uh, which was a jean company that I started, I don't know, years ago
01:21:16.440
It was almost impossible to do anything in America because you couldn't buy anything in
01:21:25.380
They came in and they started buying old factories and then they said, we're going to keep this
01:21:29.440
factory alive and then we're going to bring in the old equipment that nobody's trained
01:21:36.020
When you try on their hoodie, you'll be blown away.

01:22:23.040
Every single time books delivers, um, great bouquets, modern bouquets with, uh, with just
01:22:32.740
Now books flowers are cut from the best farms in the world.
01:22:35.640
So you get bigger, brighter blooms that last way, way, way longer.
01:22:41.860
Honestly, roses grown on the side of a volcano.
01:22:48.880
You pick the bouquet, you, uh, pick the delivery date.
01:22:55.280
That's why books has over 50,000 five-star reviews.
01:22:58.240
And listen, even if she says, you know, don't get me anything.
01:23:02.280
Uh, that does not have, it has nothing to do with your flower position.
01:23:04.900
You still have to bring the flowers no matter what do it.
01:23:10.380
Uh, Valentine's day is just a few, gosh, not far away.

01:23:27.340
We've done this Valentine's day thing forever, where we try to bail, uh, guys out that screwed
01:23:42.940
By the way, the handle they're using, you can see there we're zooming in on it at headquarters
01:24:00.000
underscore six, seven, six, seven, as the kids used to say, well, you know, used to say a
01:24:08.600
And I think they also used to say that's probably cringe.
01:24:14.980
That by the way, is CNN saying about that announcement from Kamala Harris yesterday.
01:24:20.140
And by the way, because it was so cringy, they changed, they changed the handle.
01:24:25.380
It's now, uh, headquarters six, eight, which I don't think six, eight has any meaning to
01:24:38.420
So it was probably like, leave it at six, eight.
01:24:42.680
Even the Democrats don't know what they're, you know, what she's doing, um, but, but she
01:24:50.320
Um, I, I want to talk a little bit about the day of prayer that Trump has just announced.
01:24:58.320
Um, he's calling for a national day of prayer on the mall.
01:25:02.100
And if he makes this a declaration, I mean, it sounds to me like a covenant is going to
01:25:12.280
Remember, that's what, that's what George Washington did.
01:25:15.400
Abraham Lincoln did it in the middle of Getty, in the middle of the war at Gettysburg, we
01:25:21.300
had lost every battle, I think, except one, uh, we're halfway through and it's a disaster.
01:25:27.880
Lincoln calls for a national day of prayer of fasting humiliation and a re he renews the
01:25:34.000
covenant that we're a covenant nation with God.
01:25:36.920
Um, and after that is done, we win every battle except for one, uh, these things can be remarkable.
01:25:54.060
We're going to be looking into it today and tomorrow on, on who's all involved, but this
01:26:00.760
National day of prayer, uh, called for yesterday on Monday.
01:26:16.340
With the RBC Avion Visa, you can book any airline, any flight, any time.

01:27:42.740
From behind my cardboard microphone, this is the Glanbeck program.
01:27:47.160
I'm going to share a story with you that I saw, when was it?
01:27:53.320
I think it was over the weekend, from a mom in Washington State who was going to pick up
01:28:03.000
Remember, last week was to protest, and I would have lost my ever-loving mind.
01:28:09.180
Well, she was much more calm and reserved than I would have been.
01:28:13.680
But she immediately pulled her kid out of school.
01:28:17.960
But the casual nature of all of it, when she came in and she's like, I'm pulling my kid
01:28:32.960
I mean, it was amazing to watch the reaction of the people in the schools in Washington
01:28:41.440
First, let me tell you about My Patriot Supply.
01:28:43.360
We live in a time where things change really fast.
01:28:46.160
Stores that were full yesterday look very different tomorrow.

01:28:51.840

01:29:50.440
Erica Franklin is the mom who went into her school in Washington.
01:29:55.480
I want to play just a little clip and then we'll get right to Erica.
01:30:33.480
Erica, what city are you in in Washington State?
01:30:44.660
I grew up, my parents, or my grandparents lived in Puyallup.
01:30:50.060
My dad worked, or my grandfather worked at Boeing in Auburn.
01:31:02.380
You had no idea that this protest with your kids in the streets.
01:31:17.080
And the only thing she knew is that it was a walkout, and she had no clue what that meant.
01:31:35.580
I mean, some kids were prepared, but it wasn't any child that was like my daughter, you know, because she's different.
01:31:56.260
Like, she wants, she's like, I thought we're here to learn, mama.
01:32:14.020
And two, the school had difficulty locating your daughter.
01:32:17.760
Yeah, they didn't know where any one of those children was.
01:32:22.980
They couldn't, if you ask them, any parent, where is so-and-so's student?
01:32:30.740
That is the response pretty much, not quoted, but you know what I'm saying.
01:32:46.100
How do you think they should have handled this?
01:32:53.520
Some I haven't even met yet, but my phone's insanely blowing up.
01:32:58.500
What I do know is that thousands of schools around the United States, as soon as they
01:33:06.380
caught wind of this type of thing, they immediately stopped and canceled it because they knew exactly
01:33:15.860
And also, from what I know now, since Friday, is that kids have lost their lives.
01:33:23.820
And my question is, what's going to happen when these kids really continue on doing monkey
01:33:29.520
see, monkey do from these so-called responsible adults and start really attacking ICE agents?
01:33:44.920
Sorry, I apologize for getting a little passionate, but you know what?
01:33:49.920
I would be, you are really calm compared to what I would be.
01:33:56.960
Did anybody reach out afterwards and talk to you and anything?
01:34:02.300
Well, that Friday, once I got home and was able to turn the tears off, I called.
01:34:08.480
I thought I was calling the administrator of the school district, but I got a different
01:34:18.340
But I did get a call back, and then I had the call back, and we did have a conversation
01:34:23.620
after my first interview with Brandy, and I left that completely open and respectful.
01:34:32.360
And I said, I'm standing 10 tells on this, this is wrong, but I will leave an open line
01:34:37.360
of respectful communication between me and the school district.
01:34:41.080
But since then, everything that has come to me, oh no, all communication is done.
01:34:53.940
Wait, what has been coming, what's been coming to you from the school district?
01:34:57.380
Um, not from the school district, it's from parents and people in my community that are
01:35:04.200
We're giving it to you, Erica, but we're too scared to say anything.
01:35:07.540
And no, we're not going to come stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
01:35:13.920
So I'm sitting here with all this information, and I'm just kind of like giving all these people,
01:35:20.680
my new friends, just a safe place to be able to talk with what they're not being heard
01:35:27.340
So I have it all, and it's still coming in, and I'm going to continue to make, keep that
01:35:33.700
I'm not giving any information to anyone whatsoever, because these parents and these people trust
01:35:42.540
But I'm going to respect the fact that they are scared, because I can see it through my
01:35:46.100
community every single second of every day, and I can feel it, and they're telling me this.
01:35:51.300
So whatever way this needs to play out, I want everyone to know that your messages and
01:35:57.960
my DMs are completely safe, and I'm going to keep it locked away in my heart until it
01:36:05.860
But right now, I have to allow my church family to love on me and my family, and get
01:36:11.460
Remington to school, because she now has one, and we're excited.
01:36:14.540
But I am going to continue to keep my composure and do the right thing and be the voice.
01:36:20.300
But for a little bit, I need to step back and allow this seed to be planted a little
01:36:25.080
bit deeper, because I don't want to see any of these kids die.
01:36:33.060
Is it true you have found yourself becoming more and more of a conservative, that you're
01:36:38.320
not a conservative, that you're just, you've never really been political?
01:36:44.940
I've never really been like political, political.
01:36:53.200
And throughout my life and with my family, it's military.
01:37:08.260
And my whole stance in any of this is the children, and that is it.
01:37:19.780
Kids, this is the worst it can get before it gets all the way ugly.
01:37:28.240
Erica, we're going to follow you, and we'll follow the story, and please stay in touch
01:37:34.460
with us if there's something that we need to know that we might not see.
01:37:38.760
Well, I want to let you know really quick that I posted, you know, how everyone is trying
01:37:43.320
to say that when I first pulled up, I'm being called a liar, that it was all peaceful, and
01:37:50.440
Well, I just posted, someone sent it to me, and that's the only thing that I put out there,
01:37:59.340
It's on my social media, and that puts another puzzle piece into everything I'm saying about
01:38:06.700
Uh, and what is your, what's your, uh, X address?
01:38:15.900
It was Rickaboo Frank on TikTok, but now I just put my, my Erica Franklin, and each one
01:38:33.500
If somebody started a Give, Send, Go for her, because, you know, she's putting her kids
01:38:37.240
down in private school, and, you know, she's not a wealthy person by any stretch of the
01:38:40.840
If you want to give, you can go to GiveSendGo.com slash Auburn W-A mom, Auburn Washington mom,
01:39:01.160
Um, there are moments in life when everything feels uncertain all at once.
01:39:06.920
One of those times, uh, is when a young woman finds out she's pregnant and all of a sudden
01:39:12.200
she's like, oh my gosh, fear, pressure, thousand questions she's never expected to be answering.
01:39:20.760
Uh, and now in that moment, she doesn't need judgment.
01:39:24.040
She needs compassion and support because most likely when women go into an abortion clinic,
01:39:29.340
they most likely do it because they have no support.
01:39:31.700
Everybody in their life is like, get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it.
01:39:34.820
Support is what pre-born, um, uh, provides through a network of clinics.
01:39:39.360
They offer free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, caring, confidential support for women facing
01:39:46.940
An ultrasound is usually the turning point, you know, not because anyone's pressuring her,
01:39:51.020
but because she gets to see and hear the truth.
01:39:53.360
What's going on inside of her own body pre-born shows up in that critical window with practical
01:39:59.460
It's about standing in the gap for both mom and the baby and making sure that neither one
01:40:08.580
A hundred percent of your donation goes directly to saving babies.
01:40:15.440
That's pound two 50 keyword, baby, or go to pre-born.com slash Beck.
01:40:19.080
That's pre-born.com slash Beck 10 seconds station ID.
01:40:37.120
So I'm glad Erica was on cause it, it will help me explain what I'm trying to do in this
01:40:46.220
last phase of my life because I think, cause I know how I feel with my kids in school.
01:40:53.360
There were times I'm like, I don't know what to do.
01:41:02.760
I mean, my wife is always like, do not make a scene.
01:41:05.820
Um, so I'm a loud mouth and I'm pretty well informed, but a lot of people are just fighting
01:41:15.300
I mean, my wife, when we were raising the kids, she was homeschooling and everything
01:41:21.240
She is just fighting for, you know, the family.
01:41:29.480
And my goal, the goal of the torch is to empower you.
01:41:34.360
And there's two devices that we are building right now.
01:41:37.760
And we're about probably two months away from a first phase of it.
01:41:42.600
And then a year away from, I think a significant phase, but Glenn AI and George AI, the George
01:41:50.160
AI is a comprehensive founding library that includes my collection, wall builders collection
01:41:56.420
and the American journey experience collection of anything prior to 1820.
01:42:07.520
Um, you know, we have all of the sermons that you'll find pieces of the declaration of
01:42:12.640
independence in, because this is who, this is what was being preached at their, at their
01:42:25.560
And then Glenn AI is, is similar to that, but George AI is the one that it, it's not me.
01:42:37.160
And we're going to start peeling off stuff from the national archives.
01:42:41.980
But my idea here, my goal is to have, you know, to be able to make scripts, give you scripts
01:42:49.060
at first, you know, and patterns that you as a parent can use based on critical thinking
01:42:54.960
catechism, which is teaching with questions, true stories, analogies, and a, uh, you know,
01:43:14.900
I'm trying to build the ultimate, honestly, homeschooling tool for families.
01:43:21.480
Let me ask you, somebody said to me the other day, that's because nobody knows civics.
01:43:28.080
And I thought, you know, I, I, I don't even know.
01:43:32.860
I mean, I do, but as a parent, I don't even know what that means.
01:43:38.280
Because I think that's what the average person is.
01:43:40.180
So I asked George AI, and this is before we have everything ready to go for you.
01:43:52.680
Civics is the knowledge of how free people govern themselves, how power is given, limited,
01:43:59.920
It's the quiet architecture of liberty, the branches of government, the rule of law, the
01:44:05.540
rights you were born with, and the duties you agreed to carry.
01:44:09.400
So those rights survive when civics is strong, freedom is everywhere.
01:44:14.900
And it feels ordinary when civics are forgotten.
01:44:17.760
Life becomes chaos, unclear with never ending changes of principles, depending on who's shouting
01:44:26.120
I mean, is that not exactly what we're experiencing now?
01:44:28.620
Eventually, without civics, freedom disappears without a sound.
01:44:33.480
Civics matter because no constitution can protect a people who don't understand it.
01:44:39.640
The rights written on paper mean nothing if citizens don't know where they came from,
01:44:44.980
or how they are defended, or what happens if you just surrender this just once, this one
01:44:51.700
Every tyrant in history has counted on ignorance, apathy, and the belief that someone else will
01:45:01.480
We teach civics by telling true stories about restraint as much as rebellion, about compromise
01:45:10.600
And we teach it through founding documents, slowly arguing honestly, and showing how ideas
01:45:18.760
But we live civics by doing something harder, self-government, vote when it's inconvenient,
01:45:26.740
defend free speech when you dislike the speech, demanding limits on leaders you agree with.
01:45:33.980
Remember that rights without responsibilities rot into entitlement.
01:45:43.740
And in a republic, in the end, it rises or falls not on elections, but on citizens who
01:45:49.340
know who they are, what they owe, and why it matters.
01:46:06.520
How does she teach and undo what has just been done by the school?
01:46:23.560
Not teaching why you would protest, what you're trying to change, why violence is not the answer,
01:46:37.940
What they're doing is they are just having you copy.
01:46:53.560
So how does a mom like Erica, who sounds great, but did you hear what she said?
01:47:03.560
When you know what it is, you don't have to debate.
01:47:12.380
When people say I'm not a debater, I think what it means is I'm not sure I can go very deep on things.
01:47:20.780
Because if I'm not sure I can go very deep on things, that's what I say.
01:47:46.300
So let me take you through what Erica or you should do with your 13-year-old that revolves around civics.
01:47:55.320
And this is why the torch, this is what we're trying to do.
01:47:59.640
To be able to have lessons for you and curricula that you can take and teach your children history and ethics, critical thinking and civics.
01:48:14.500
And if you'd like to help me build it, just go to glenbeck.com slash torch.

Maybe you don't wake up one day with a big injury.
01:48:27.920
Your back feels, I don't know, tight more often.
01:48:30.240
Your knees just don't love the stairs like they used to.
01:48:33.080
Your shoulders remind you that each time you reach, it's like, ow.
01:48:36.160
Now, you know, it changes the way you move throughout your day.
01:48:43.980
When you start to get older or you've done injury after injury on your body, no matter how old you are, and your body's like, you know what?
01:48:56.560
It's a daily supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation.
01:49:01.260
First thing the doctor said to me is, your whole body is inflamed.
01:49:04.960
No, it's the inside of your body that is inflamed.
01:49:08.060
And that is the source of most of our disease and also most of our pain.
01:49:15.060
And the easy way to do that is by taking Relief Factor.

01:49:34.960
Torch is about empowering moms like Erica and students like her kids.
01:49:44.260
I have a lot to say about Bitcoin and why it's going down.
01:50:06.160
I had a long conversation with somebody yesterday, and this is their deal.
01:50:15.500
Because if I understand it correctly, that's a really big deal.
01:50:24.160
I don't want you to worry while Bad Bunny is on.
01:50:33.480
Hope you're going to TPUSA, to their YouTube site, to watch the halftime show.
01:50:38.080
So, anyway, George AI is something that I'm building, and people don't understand yet because it's a year away from completion.
01:50:48.260
But I want to give you a piece of what the first thing that's going to start coming out.
01:50:55.180
But first, it's going to come out, you know, in text.
01:51:00.020
Then, it will come out so you can ask it questions, and it will help you teach or help you learn.
01:51:07.540
And it will speak in the language, whatever language around the world, but also, you know, the age-appropriate language.
01:51:21.540
The goal is to get you to be able to talk to it and be able to say, hey, I need a lesson plan to teach, you know, the founding of America.
01:51:33.760
I need, you know, I have my kids in the car for 15 minutes a day, so I need a 12-minute lesson plan every day that has certain goals.
01:51:45.460
And then it will, the next step is it will listen and ask questions at the end.
01:51:49.840
And if your kids aren't getting it, it will then revamp the next episode so it will be able to solidify that lost principle on there before you really move on.
01:52:05.380
This is why I'm asking you to join me at the torch because it's very expensive, but it is worth it.
01:52:12.780
And I think this is going to be an incredible tool.
01:52:19.480
Nobody has access to what we have except for the federal government.
01:52:28.160
We were just talking to Erica, this mom who was in Washington State.
01:52:33.580
And I don't know how that went, but let's just say you're in that situation.
01:52:50.180
When you're talking to them, don't start with right or wrong.
01:52:58.200
And Erica said her daughter didn't even know what they were trying to do.
01:53:04.800
Okay, they're trying, they think something's wrong and they're trying to make change happen.
01:53:24.080
City council, school board, legislature, courts, you know, Congress, et cetera, et cetera.
01:53:30.540
And show them that yelling gets attention, but the process is what actually changes things.
01:53:43.480
It's really important in that first time you're talking about this is to say they have a right to protest.
01:53:49.080
However, there are things that you don't do in protests.
01:53:52.780
But the lesson is not to say protesting is bad.
01:53:56.860
It's that protest without participation is nothing more than theater.
01:54:01.540
You, they didn't teach you anything about the process.
01:54:14.760
I'm going to add MLK and Gandhi because that's where they got the principles of Jesus is reconciliation.
01:54:25.060
If you can't bring people together, what happens if we can never decide, do we have a country?
01:54:32.320
So if we want to have a country, we can't have losers and winners.
01:54:48.300
This is the critical thinking, how to teach your kids critical thinking.
01:55:03.220
If a society decides that politics produces winners and losers, you know, it eventually treats its citizens as enemies to be defeated, not neighbors to be persuaded.
01:55:23.340
The question is, how do we get people back using the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
01:55:30.760
Because reconciliation without truth is surrender.
01:55:39.100
So now you're sitting and you've gone through this with your kid and now the catechism part comes.
01:55:56.100
It's the restoration of the relationship of a couple of people after truth has been spoken.
01:56:14.560
I mean, he used the truth and then left the door open.
01:56:27.900
Reconciliation doesn't require universal agreement.
01:56:33.340
So what's your responsibility as a citizen, a civics part?
01:56:40.340
Yours is to peacefully speak the truth with humility, without contempt for anyone and without any force.
01:56:51.560
Now you start to get into the place where you're breaking laws.
01:57:06.480
Not everybody is reachable at the same moment in history.
01:57:09.080
Some people are hardened or intoxicated by ideology or enraged by winning, invested in chaos, whatever.
01:57:20.860
You persuade them only through example, consistency, and time.
01:57:29.260
That's why it is so important to never engage in the kind of stuff that you're seeing them engage in.
01:57:36.460
Because if you're doing the same thing, then they don't notice a difference.
01:57:54.140
A sincere question is, if I give you the answer and you go, wow, that makes sense.
01:58:01.320
And it disagrees with what you say is causing your behavior.
01:58:16.100
If I show you that that five-year-old, that story is not what you think it is.
01:58:21.620
If I show that to you, will you say, oh, wow, okay, I better question some other things.
01:58:36.420
If they won't change their behavior once you speak truth, then they're not reachable.
01:58:41.440
If they can't distinguish between truth and power, they're not ready.
01:58:50.200
Think of truth like a plumb line on a construction site.
01:58:55.000
Did you see there's a video going around about these skyscrapers in China
01:58:59.860
where the walls are coming apart from the floors?
01:59:05.540
And you can put your head on the window and look down
01:59:08.640
because they're separate from all of the floors.
01:59:15.260
When you put a plumb line down, that's to make sure that everything is straight.
01:59:22.880
You don't bend the plumb line to match the crooked wall and then say, see, it's straight.
01:59:27.380
And you don't smash the wall with the plumb line either.
01:59:33.200
You let everybody see what a straight line actually is.
01:59:44.560
But the building that survives is the one that aligns to the truth, to the plumb line,
01:59:52.520
You can argue about that plumb line all you want.
02:00:10.240
And half of the family is on one side of the dinner table and the other half is on the other.
02:00:21.500
The other side might be tempted to humiliate the other side.
02:00:26.420
If the right side declares victory and storms out, the family is lost.
02:00:31.900
If the side that's wrong is indulged, the family collapses into lies and chaos.
02:00:41.980
Reconciliation happens when you, the one person, stays seated and calm and says,
02:00:50.380
I will not play this game with you, but I'm not going to abandon you either.
02:00:54.340
And when you're, when you're ready, I'm still here and the truth will still be true.
02:01:01.100
That's how nations heal slowly, quietly with scars that you don't hide.
02:01:11.620
This is the goal of the torch to be able to have a tool that you can trust.
02:01:23.440
I don't know what's in chat GPT other than everything.
02:01:31.040
So here's a tool that is only based on the founders, their words, their beliefs, their principles, the things they wrote.
02:01:39.280
Things that I know, okay, I can trust that cannot pull anything outside, can't pull anything from me, can't pull anything from the left.
02:01:59.920
And if you can't do it, eventually, hopefully in a year, maybe a year from now, it will be able to guide you and the family.
02:02:11.280
You'll be able to sit there and you can ask a question.
02:02:18.780
And then he'd correct you if you're incorrect or encourage you.
02:02:34.200
That's why I've been asking you to join me at The Torch.
02:02:36.260
If you want to help me build this, it's expensive.
02:02:38.340
I'm spending a lot of money, six figures every single month, just to build this because I believe in it so much.
02:02:52.760
But I'd love your help if you want, if you think it's worth it.
02:03:02.180
You get all the bells and whistles, everything else.
02:03:19.980
Similar to that, but contemporary, that you can just play in the house, play with your kids.
02:03:25.360
They can listen to, and they'll be singing along the five and the first.
02:03:38.660
How many times do you sing songs or have songs running and you have no idea what the words are about?
02:03:43.500
My idea is, why don't we make the words help us instead of hurt us?
02:03:50.340
Why not put words in there that are not goofy and stupid, but actually just sound like a normal song that will teach history?
02:04:02.620
That's one of the things that we're working on.
02:04:07.500
You just go to glennbeck.com slash torch, glennbeck.com slash torch, and join us.
02:04:13.620
Let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
02:04:16.400
One of the biggest financial decisions most people make, and yet a lot of folks go into it with whatever agent happens to be found first.

02:04:35.140
This is a network of experienced vetted agents all across the country who know their local markets and know how to guide people through the process the right way.
02:04:43.260
Let's say you're, I mean, I used realestateagents.com when I sold my house in Texas, had a great agent who sold it.
02:04:52.260
I mean, to the day I said, I need it sold by this time.
02:04:56.840
And I had another great agent here in Florida, and all I did was just go to realestateagentsitrust.com, who's our agent there.
02:05:29.920
A Tim's Donut and Coffee is the original collab.
02:05:32.720
And now, any classic donut is a dollar when you buy any size original or dark roast coffee.
02:05:36.900
Get a deal on the iconic duo with a Tim's Dollar Donut.
02:05:39.920
Plus tax at participating restaurants for a limited time.
02:05:43.080
So, let me just ask the crew here, Sarah, Ricky, Jason.
02:06:04.460
I have, like, no interest, but I'm not a sports guy.
02:06:21.200
Somebody has to watch it so they can report back.
02:06:24.280
I'm tempted to watch just to see how bad it is, but I don't want to give them a single
02:06:29.960
ratings point, so I will make sure that my TV is off of that.
02:06:47.540
If you ever see me riding my motorcycle around DFW, Kid Rock will be the only thing blaring
02:06:54.860
He keeps his plane at the airport where I fly in to come home, and his plane says it is
02:07:05.280
It's all like, you know, Kid Rock or American Outlaw or something like that, all in like
02:07:11.640
gold lettering, and then the tail just has the bird, if you know what I'm saying.
