The new tracking of ice that Congress is putting together.
00:03:34.580
We've got the Mamdani thing, which I don't know if anybody should pay attention to that.
00:03:45.840
And there's a strange echo in American politics that never seems to learn from its own reflection.
00:03:54.400
He's like, I can't believe, as a historian, Glenn, I can't believe you're not more upset about what's happening at the White House.
00:04:06.180
It moves sometimes faster than the seasons change, and the kids grow up, and the things you used to do without thinking just start to feel a little heavier.
00:04:16.900
Maybe it's the garden that you used to tend, the bike that is now gathering dust.
00:04:28.800
Relief factor is designed to help people who want their lives back in motion.

You know, the pain, disease that we have, when you start to help your body fix those things, you start moving again.
00:04:51.360
No prescription, no strange routine, just a simple packet twice a day helps your body do what it was built to do.
00:05:02.000
Give their three-week quick start a try for $19.95.
00:05:10.980
All right, so let me give you some perspective on this White House nonsense.
00:05:18.400
Every time a president dares touch the plaster or paint of the White House, the press loses its collective mind.
00:05:29.120
We have seen this happen over and over and over again.
00:05:34.680
When FDR built the East and West Wings, those were not there before FDR.
00:05:44.600
Washington reporters acted as if he were erecting a palace while the people starved.
00:05:53.540
Now, I think you could probably make the case with the East Wing because it included a swimming pool that was just for FDR.
00:06:05.400
And at the time, America was in the Great Depression and bread lines were circling the blocks.
00:06:13.300
And the government was picking up the tab for the president's expansion of the White House, which included a giant pool for him.
00:06:27.600
All of the buildings, the press cried outrage over them.
00:06:32.120
They are the same buildings that they're now crying outrage over now.
00:06:35.980
Except this time, the East Wing is just too historic to change.
00:06:42.960
So let me give you a first of many huge differences here.
00:06:46.180
What Trump is doing will not cost the American people a dime.
00:06:53.280
Even when the press and those on the left admit that it is private funding, they say, yes, but it is a grotesque waste of money.
00:07:04.600
From the people that just took $294 million from billionaires, over a quarter of a billion dollars for the No Kings movement?
00:07:16.420
You're lecturing me on what people should do with private funds?
00:07:22.380
Okay, so not a cent of taxpayer money is going into this.
00:07:25.480
It's privately funded by him and those friends that he has called and said, can you help us out on this?
00:07:46.300
And even, you know, even if it had things that the president would use in it, it's not going to be completed until after he leaves office, after he's gone.
00:08:04.380
The only thing private about this is the funding.
00:08:11.280
America's getting an upgrade and we're not paying for it.
00:08:15.820
If this was done by really anybody else, including George Bush or any of the Republicans, presidents that have passed, I'd probably have a bigger problem with this.
00:08:28.040
But I am under an agreement that I cannot share all the things that I know about what the president is doing and has done to the White House.
00:08:45.900
He does not want credit for really great things.
00:08:54.980
This is, he doesn't like that softer side of him.
00:09:01.840
He absolutely does want credit for really great things.
00:09:04.780
He takes it all the time and a lot of times deserves it.
00:09:10.300
And I looked at him when I had to sign this and I'm like, why?
00:09:19.280
I have seen what he has done up front, personal, and there is no one better to work on the
00:09:30.400
He is upgrading things that, and he's doing it the right way.
00:09:35.620
Yet the media, their outrage, it's identical to 1933.
00:09:43.840
Let me remind you of another scandal at the White House.
00:09:58.240
Quote, out of touch, Nancy spends $200,000 on plates while Americans starve.
00:10:12.360
Reagan royalty dying in luxury as cuts hit the poor.
00:10:20.320
Now, the press made her look like she was royalty and she just couldn't eat off of everyday
00:10:27.140
And I know the truth because before the White House butler, and this was under George W.
00:10:33.480
Bush, the butler who had worked there since the Johnson administration, the White House
00:10:44.840
I spent the day with him and just talked to him as, you know, I really wanted to do a,
00:10:49.660
you know, a podcast or a video with him, but he wouldn't.
00:10:55.860
And he told me a story about the White House China because we went down and he was showing
00:11:00.840
me all the China and everything else from all of the different presidents.
00:11:03.740
And he said, you know, one of the best first ladies we ever had that I ever worked for was
00:11:17.420
He said, Nancy came to him and said, what does the White House need?
00:11:21.400
Because every president, most of them, some don't steal the furniture.
00:11:27.240
Every president tries to leave the White House better than they came in.
00:11:31.160
So she said, what is it that the White House needs?
00:11:36.480
He said, we need a complete set of state China.
00:11:39.580
We don't have enough, you know, matching plates for official dinners.
00:11:43.080
So we have all this mismatched stuff and it looks horrible.
00:11:49.540
She raised private funds so the White House could have a matching set of China for, you
00:11:57.380
Well, the press turned her into an absolute villain.
00:12:17.440
Now, that used that's the kind of strength that people used to really respect in America.
00:12:22.440
But, you know, not if it's coming from a Republican.
00:12:25.300
That's the kind of dignity that Melania showed when the press tore her apart recently on absolutely
00:12:34.560
But before I get to that, let me just let me stop here at Hillary Clinton because she's
00:12:46.620
This is the same first lady who, upon leaving the White House, carted off more than two hundred
00:12:54.400
and fifty thousand dollars of White House furniture.
00:12:58.320
The only thing that got her to return it was the backlash in the press.
00:13:04.920
By the way, her staff also, if you remind, and her husband, they left petty vandalism behind,
00:13:11.960
prying all the W's off all of the keyboards before George W. Bush's team arrived.
00:13:22.980
When Donald Trump arrived and he entered office the first time, what he found was a a greatly
00:13:39.860
Worn carpets, almost century old bathrooms that desperately needed updating.
00:13:45.740
In America's most symbolic home, can we have some nice bathrooms in here that just work
00:13:54.780
He took out of his own pocket to restore these things in ways that were absolutely appropriate
00:14:04.600
The doorknobs alone, he had them cast custom brass doorknobs engraved with the presidential
00:14:12.800
They are some of the most beautiful doorknobs I've ever seen.
00:14:22.480
You might most likely don't even know any of these things.
00:14:27.960
He's restoring the people's house and trying to make it nicer with Trump.
00:14:40.600
But let me tell you, when Biden's team came in, those very fixtures, the doorknobs, some
00:14:49.840
But here's where the hypocrisy goes from laughable to absolute obscene.
00:15:02.340
First, there are certain moments that snap you awake.
00:15:04.960
A power outage that lasts longer than it should.
00:15:09.500
Or maybe just that gut feeling that something in the world feels a little less stable than
00:15:14.980
And realize how quickly comfort can turn into dependence, how every pill bottle, every
00:15:20.040
prescription, every routine relies on a system that falters from time to time.
00:15:28.960
It's a smart way to have an emergency supply of antibiotics on hand, the kind that you hope
00:15:36.360
But if something goes wrong, you can't get to the doctor or the pharmacy is closed.
00:15:43.140
These are real prescriptions dispensed by real pharmacists and physicians, and they're
00:15:48.700
packed into a compact case that fits neatly on a shelf or your suitcase.
00:15:52.740
So you don't have to be a survivalist or a conspiracy theorist to see wisdom in this.
00:15:58.120
You just have to understand that preparedness isn't paranoia.
00:16:02.480
You know, when you love your family enough to think ahead.
00:16:30.500
The same press that is now howling about historic preservation when Trump adds a ballroom to the White House or when Melania replanted a rose, stood absolutely dead silent about history while America's history was being destroyed.
00:16:50.100
She spent her time and their money to restore the White House rose garden, and the media erupted in mock outrage.
00:16:59.060
How dare she had, I'm quoting, desecrated a national treasure.
00:17:03.840
She had ripped out the roses and destroyed Jackie Kennedy's legacy.
00:17:08.220
So here's the truth, because I talked to Melania about it myself, privately.
00:17:14.780
What did she do when she replanted the rose garden?
00:17:19.280
Melania went back to the original architecture and horticultural plans drawn up by Jackie Kennedy and Bunny Mellon.
00:17:28.000
Okay, those are the two that did the rose garden.
00:17:31.740
She took those original plans and she restored the rose garden back to its original 1962 design, the way Jackie had intended it before years of overgrowth and disease ruined everything.
00:17:46.640
Okay, so Melania restored it, revived it, balanced it, symmetry, sunlight, so the whole thing could flourish again.
00:17:58.840
They didn't say thank you for preserving history.
00:18:01.600
They printed lie after lie and turned beauty into blasphemy.
00:18:08.140
Because the wrong person was holding the shovel.
00:18:10.920
If that was Michelle Obama and she did exactly the same thing, they would have been fine with it.
00:18:15.100
You know, these are the same people that have no problem watching actual history burn.
00:18:21.360
When rioters were toppling statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, they said nothing.
00:18:31.180
They didn't shed a tear or write an op-ed about the loss of history.
00:18:37.160
When they burned St. John's Church, which is across the street from the White House,
00:18:42.000
this is a church where every president since James Madison has worshipped,
00:18:46.360
the press didn't call that burning, you know, some sort of a desecration.
00:18:51.460
They actually called it, quote, an expression of grief.
00:18:56.620
So forgive me if I don't buy into their outrage, because this is not about preservation.
00:19:07.760
All of this is a distraction, and none of it is about history.
00:19:13.580
But when they obsess over chandeliers and garden paths that you're not going to pay for,
00:19:20.820
while our cities are crumbling with crime, their voices are silent on the cities.
00:19:40.220
The Democrats are playing this tired game of survival.
00:19:43.900
Republicans are mumbling about fiscal restraint, but the Democrats are pushing for more spending
00:19:49.340
and threatening a longer shutdown just to please the radical and dangerous left, their base.
00:19:55.920
By the way, I think Chuck Schumer's, I think the Chuck Schumer's of the Democrats
00:20:01.440
actually fear literal guillotines in the streets from their so-called supporters on the very left.
00:20:10.420
So, no, this is not about a ballroom or a rose garden or Donald Trump.
00:20:29.780
but the pettiness of the ruling class that despises restoration, hates beauty,
00:20:37.320
and cannot stand the idea that someone might build something lasting privately
00:20:43.540
and with pride because they're serving the nation.
00:20:49.200
The real scandal here is not in the White House or what's being done to the White House.
00:20:53.140
The real scandal is what is happening every day in the newsrooms all across America,
00:20:58.600
where truth was evicted long before the roses ever were evicted from the rose garden.
00:21:12.500
why do we listen to people who have been wrong every step of the way?
00:21:27.860
You know, as a historian, I can't believe you're more upset.
00:21:35.740
I think they look like real improvements and it doesn't really bother me.
00:21:43.880
I mean, I think if they changed, you know, a piece of,
00:21:46.900
I mean, you go in there and describe every single thing in the Oval Office
00:21:50.180
and you've talked to me at length for hours and hours and endless,
00:21:58.980
You touch the interior or the exterior of the White House
00:22:02.760
and you're not doing with preservation in mind?
00:22:08.780
There were boards in the White House from the War of 1812,
00:22:13.580
1812, the char marks, Truman took all of that and threw it away.
00:22:18.960
He just took it to the studs of the White House.
00:22:23.780
but nobody, nobody was saying anything about that during Truman.
00:22:28.460
that's the White House itself and the War of 1812.
00:22:32.000
Again, I tend to not really care about these things,
00:22:39.020
For example, we were told as of a couple of days ago that we were,
00:22:46.860
like just the facade of the outside of the East wing was coming down.
00:22:50.560
And then just kind of offhanded in a press conference with a couple of
00:22:56.720
actually we're knocking the entire East wing down.
00:23:16.920
And all of a sudden my ceilings are coming down and the house is splitting in
00:23:24.700
when you're doing construction on something like this,
00:23:49.360
Rebuild it looking exactly the same while preserving the historic artifacts in it.
00:24:04.060
although I would like to talk to you about Obama and the difference if I,
00:24:11.080
there is nothing like knowing the person that is,
00:24:14.200
That's guiding you through every offer is actually on your side.
00:24:18.980
do not gamble on an agent that you found by accident or,
00:24:24.200
I don't know why this person helped me with my house.
00:24:31.600
This is a network of people who understand that selling your home is not just a transaction.
00:24:42.500
The agents are carefully selected for their experience,
00:24:47.920
They are the kind of people who always pick up the phone.
00:24:52.480
even when it's hard and know how to get you to the finish line without losing your sanity.
00:24:57.180
So if you're buying or selling a home right now,
00:24:59.260
don't just hope you're going to find a good agent.
00:25:05.880
Get connected with somebody who earned that trust the hard way.
00:25:40.180
it is our responsibility and only the right thing to do to pause for a moment and go,
00:25:49.100
And the person that is doing an unbelievable job and most people don't know about it is
00:26:06.620
Sebastian has been working behind the scenes quietly the whole time,
00:26:20.180
I think jihadists have been neutralized in the last nine months.
00:26:28.040
And Sebastian Gorka is here to tell us about the operation.
00:26:36.660
I will have a correct you live on your own show.
00:26:40.700
I am honored to be here to talk about these incredible,
00:26:43.360
incredible stories that you're absolutely right.
00:26:46.080
Every American needs to know about and all evil doers around the world need to
00:26:54.940
It's president Trump and the amazing team I have in my counterterrorism
00:27:00.640
It's the members of the intelligence community who are hunting these bad guys
00:27:04.420
down and giving their locations to our tier one operators,
00:27:07.900
to others in our military who are bringing eternal justice to these evil
00:27:15.120
So it is a team effort in the spirit of the commander in chief.
00:27:22.900
And that's keeping up with the commander in chief,
00:27:31.900
I said something to the vice president and he said,
00:27:38.980
but I also know he selected each person for a reason.
00:27:43.200
and I know people that you selected to be on your team and they are,
00:27:56.880
who has been on this list that in the last nine months is no longer,
00:28:06.380
it's more than 370 leading jihadis around the world in all stages of
00:28:11.680
either killed Americans or who were plotting to kill Americans,
00:28:14.740
like the number two Abu Khadija and the number two of ISIS in Iraq,
00:28:24.240
Of the global jihadi movement that I'm they're lost to their respective
00:28:28.880
terrorist groups makes it very hard for them to continue in the ways that
00:28:33.180
they did under the Biden administration and administration that really
00:28:36.860
watched these people and didn't want to kill them.
00:28:43.320
the bumper sticker for what we're doing is this administration,
00:28:47.440
America is back in the business of counter terrorism.
00:28:53.420
but I've got to tell you a story because this is,
00:29:07.480
because we work in these classified environments in the white house.
00:29:14.360
I could start working at 1201 as soon as the president was sworn in for a
00:29:30.160
which were priorities for the president in terms of counterterrorism.
00:29:33.860
The top one was a then classified nom de guerre,
00:29:38.540
And our number one priority was to bring to justice the man who was
00:29:45.900
the massacre of 13 of our war fighters during the route of Kabul at the
00:29:58.660
He's hiding out in a very difficult part of the world,
00:30:19.620
The president has just given his speech to Congress,
00:30:22.900
his first new address in the new administration.
00:30:26.160
And I'm standing there in the cold with Tulsi Gabbard,
00:30:36.260
Because the DOJ jet is about to land from Pakistan with Jafar,
00:30:53.720
made a promise to the 13 families of those who were murdered,
00:31:08.740
This is the Abbey Gate is personal to me as well.
00:31:13.380
Many of the people that were going to the gate were,
00:31:26.560
And I honestly wish you could go after some of the people in the State Department for what they did,
00:31:32.500
But what about the Defense Department back then,
00:31:40.760
we have no regrets in the manner in which we left Kabul.
00:31:55.020
we've been tracking this person under the Biden administration for 18 months.
00:32:04.240
I spent the first eight days of the administration is going around the Department of War,
00:32:10.320
And how bad have the last four years been in counterterrorism?
00:32:14.720
And everybody said the same thing as if they had,
00:32:18.460
Can we please be allowed to do our job and get back to killing jihadis?
00:32:24.320
return to the rules of engagement of the first Trump administration,
00:32:26.920
which meant if a combatant commander in CENCOM or AFRICOM saw a leading jihadi,
00:32:32.220
he could pull the trigger and take that guy out.
00:32:38.920
every high value target had to be sent to Jake Sullivan,
00:32:44.740
the then acting clown of a national security advisor,
00:32:48.540
who would then wake up Joe Biden from his nap and say,
00:33:00.080
myself and one of my team members walked into the Oval Office with a big map and a big photograph.
00:33:08.240
He's hanging out in a giant terrorist training camp in northern Somalia.
00:33:11.800
And we've been tracking him for the last 18 months under the administration.
00:33:19.420
The president looked up at us from the Resolute desk and he said,
00:33:29.200
He grabbed that iconic Sharpie and he ticked the go box on the operational orders.
00:33:39.840
My team member called up a certain part of the U.S. military.
00:33:49.440
I'm back in the situation room underneath the West Wing.
00:33:57.000
We go hot and we're watching this guy blithely walk around his terror complex like he has no care in the world.
00:34:07.140
And like a Swiss watch at 0845 on that Saturday morning,
00:34:12.700
he turned into a cloud of red mist and we watched it live with the National Security Advisor.
00:34:23.020
we've added another 369 jihadis who have seen the hammers of hell come down on their heads.
00:34:29.200
Why did we bring the Abigate guy back into the United States to try him?
00:34:47.260
We use lethal force when capturing them is not possible or would put our forces and civilians at too great a risk to do so.
00:35:01.460
We are authorized to use deadly force in given circumstances.
00:35:11.720
because you'll never get closure for losing your daughter or your husband,
00:35:16.920
But to see this man stand in a federal dock in a federal court in Northern Virginia,
00:35:27.840
he was killed 8,000 miles away and you'll never be able to see the video.
00:35:40.580
I've heard you talk about terror cells here in the United States.
00:35:49.980
there's a thing in the U S military called red teaming where,
00:35:52.980
where an officer is tasked to think like the bad guy.
00:36:06.920
let's you and your listeners think like the bad guys for a second.
00:36:10.800
If you know that the president of the United States,
00:36:18.660
fake borders are literally have dismantled the Southern border.
00:36:22.980
And you can clear yourself to enter into the United States with an app
00:36:33.880
And that's all you need to step into America to get your $5,000,
00:36:38.760
and your ticket to wherever you want to go in America.
00:36:53.780
Now I can't go into the classified details of our response,
00:37:03.620
And it starts with the alpha male behind the resolute desk.
00:37:13.180
the genius behind our immigration policies and securing the Southern border.
00:37:17.020
Just the figures alone that of those we have physically deported,
00:37:41.300
we have the crosshairs on the bad guys and we're getting them out of the
00:37:45.700
So you can sleep far more soundly at night because the,
00:37:51.360
whether it's smoking the jihadis outside of America or whether it's getting the
00:38:14.260
we can tell you everybody who attended a Latin mass in the last 20 years,
00:38:17.380
but you can't tell me anything about the tides foundation or Antifa or
00:38:29.900
And are we going to go after people who are funding?
00:38:41.420
especially those that are subverting or attempting to subvert our public from
00:39:00.860
one of the surprise rock stars gives public statements saying,
00:39:05.660
we will follow the money to any organization that is funding unconstitutional
00:39:13.400
whether you're firebombing a Tesla dealership or plotting to kill friends of mine,
00:39:19.400
When Scott Besant says that a man who literally doesn't sleep to revivify our economy,
00:39:28.080
you can bet your bottom dollar that we will get to the bottom of Antifa.
00:39:33.960
how historic is it that we have designated Antifa as a terrorist organization?
00:39:58.700
thank you so much for everything you're doing and thank you to your team.
00:40:01.460
Please pass on our gratitude to everybody on your team for all of the work that you guys have been doing.
00:40:11.220
the relics of our past so that we will never forget.
00:40:14.120
We are the greatest nation on God's green earth.
00:40:25.500
And then between the credit card interest and the mortgages and everything else you have to pay,
00:40:31.000
American financing can help you grab hold of it again.
00:40:34.320
they're not some random company trying to sell you a loan.
00:40:36.880
They're salary based mortgage consultants who work for you,
00:40:45.400
roll the payments into a lower rate mortgage and free up hundreds of dollars every single month.
00:40:51.920
many families are using that extra cash to build savings,
00:41:00.820
the listener who calls American financing from this audience,
00:41:04.120
the average saving is about 830 bucks every single month.
00:41:10.840
Please call American financing at 800-906-2440,
00:41:21.360
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
00:41:25.120
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:41:54.660
And that was one of the most satisfying interviews I've done for a long time.
00:42:02.720
turning people into red clouds before it was very brutal,
00:42:06.520
but in a way when we're talking about terrorists,
00:42:11.760
I'm going to be with Megan Kelly on Saturday at Dickie's arena.
00:42:15.000
You can go to Megan Kelly.com and get your tickets.
00:42:20.720
I'm going to make a major announcement with Megan on stage on Saturday.
00:42:26.240
and there was something else that I was supposed to tell you about,
00:42:37.280
I want to talk about the master ice tracker that our,
00:43:06.480
but you have to bring it with you for it to work at all.
00:43:18.420
like when you pack a suitcase to go on a vacation,
00:43:33.200
Stu didn't bring his on vacation and he was driving around in the middle of
00:43:41.460
Use the promo code Beck at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:43:53.260
The master ice tracker proposed by the Democrats.

00:45:33.220
Hello, America. You know, part of my job is to help you understand the news of the day,
00:45:39.000
to understand, you know, what it all means. Not just everybody can tell you what happened
00:45:43.720
yesterday. My job is to give you historic context and then tell you what that means
00:45:48.640
tomorrow. And I want to talk to you about civil war. This is, this is the worst possible thing
00:45:56.900
that could happen. A civil war, you know, doesn't end well for anyone on any side. If you want to be
00:46:06.180
Somalia, pray for a civil war. I personally would like not to be Somalia. I'd like not to be Haiti.
00:46:14.740
But I'm telling you, I'm going to give you a couple of stories here. And this is the kind of stuff,
00:46:21.200
and I believe it is intentional from the left. This is the kind of stuff that leads you eventually
00:46:28.780
no other option than civil war. So I want to warn you about something next. First, let me tell you
00:46:36.680
about pre-born. Every day somebody stands at that crossroad and it's going to change two lives
00:46:42.040
forever. Her life, the mom's life is going to change forever. She's alone, sometimes so alone
00:46:49.720
and everyone in her life is saying, this is the only option. It doesn't worry. It's not life anyway.
00:46:55.340
There's something in her and it brings her to a pre-born clinic. Thank God, not a, not a Planned
00:47:02.400
Parenthood clinic. She just wants some information. She just, and she really, she's thinking of the,
00:47:09.360
the only option is abortion. She walks into pre-born. They say, well, let's start with an ultrasound.
00:47:14.520
Let's see how far along you are. Once that ultrasound happens and mom sees the baby and sees
00:47:22.140
the heartbeat and hears the heartbeat, she realizes that's not just a, that's not a tumor.
00:47:28.500
It's not just a glob of something in there. That is a baby and that changes. But the problem is after
00:47:34.160
that, she still is alone. No one in her life is supporting her and she doesn't have the money.
00:47:39.760
She doesn't have the resources. She doesn't have baby supplies. She doesn't have support.
00:47:44.940
Pre-born helps mom there as well. We're saving two lives, two souls, the baby and the mom. It is such a
00:47:52.720
great, a great organization. Please, will you join? Pre-born.com slash back. $28 pays for a ultrasound.
00:48:00.940
$15,000 is what it takes to put a machine into a needy women's center. All tax deductible. Please do
00:48:10.340
what you can. I think this is one of the most important things we can do. Stand and choose life.

00:48:20.940
We are facing, we are at a crossroads of, you know, and the Lord said, as, you know,
00:48:30.620
they're going into the promised land, choose life, choose life. That is what sets the Western
00:48:38.440
civilization apart. We choose life and we do it in every way possible. It is why we are the first
00:48:46.960
responders in the world. It's why we're so charitable. Something goes wrong. We care about
00:48:53.860
life. We care about people that we don't even know. Sometimes on the other side of the planet
00:48:59.520
and Americans have always felt that. This comes from the Western civilization. It comes from that
00:49:06.020
moment going into the promised land. Choose life. It's why we don't leave people behind. It's why we
00:49:13.020
offer aid to those people. If we're in a war and everything calms down and the battlefield is
00:49:19.960
there and all the injured soldiers, we offer aid to our enemies. We don't just shoot them in the head
00:49:25.240
because we choose life. We are losing this quickly. We are losing it in Canada is leading the world in
00:49:39.500
choosing death. I mean, what is happening with maid up there is truly frightening, truly frightening.
00:49:46.320
It is, I think, the second leading cause of death now, assisted suicide. And they're offering it for
00:49:53.040
babies, you know, teenagers who are depressed. You can just get, they can't keep up with the number of
00:50:01.660
people that they're counseling to die. That is a very bad sign.
00:50:10.720
We see it. We saw it this weekend with those who are at the No Kings rallies. The, the flippant
00:50:17.380
attitude of, yeah, I'm glad he's dead. I'd kill him myself if I could.
00:50:22.780
There's something deeply disturbing about that. And it's also deeply anti-Christian and deeply
00:50:36.840
anti-American. We choose life. If we disagree with each other, we argue it out. And then we go to
00:50:45.060
the ballot box. We don't kill each other. Let me tell you about a school teacher. Now, I warned in
00:50:53.080
2008, I was sitting next to Linda McMahon, what, Saturday night, we were at a dinner. And Linda
00:50:58.780
McMahon is sitting next to me. And I said, we were talking about the teachers unions. And I said,
00:51:04.460
I don't know if you remember this, Linda, but I remember in 2008, there was a little story in,
00:51:09.640
I think it was in the Los Angeles times. And I read this and I thought, Oh my trouble is coming.
00:51:16.840
The teachers unions in California had decided to remove one of their restrictions on teachers.
00:51:23.840
And one of the restrictions was you could not have ever been a part of the communist party or anything
00:51:31.120
that had, you could have never been involved with any group that had tried to actively overthrow the
00:51:37.700
United States of America. And they removed that plank. And I thought, why on God's green earth,
00:51:46.520
would you remove that? Now, this is before anybody thought, Oh, there's lots of communists and
00:51:50.800
radicals and revolutionaries. Okay. This is right at the beginning of the Obama administration.
00:51:56.600
And before anybody really understood what we were facing. And I saw that, I remember going on the air
00:52:02.500
and saying, Hmm, something's really wrong with the teachers unions. Look out. Why would you do that?
00:52:07.700
Well, we know why you did that. I mean, that's what brought Bill Ayers in and everybody else. And you can
00:52:13.340
just do whatever it is you want. And it was in California. I've told you about this teacher
00:52:20.600
in California three times now. I think the first time I talked about him was in 2010. And he was at
00:52:30.580
Fox and he was with La Raza, AKA the race. And I showed you something that he was saying. He was
00:52:40.920
saying at the time, um, this is not about immigration or immigrants. This is about the global struggle
00:52:48.760
against imperialism and capitalism. And I said, how's this guy teaching in high school? How is this guy a
00:52:56.260
teacher in high school? I then showed, showed you him last year or earlier this year? Time is just gets
00:53:04.240
away from me now, uh, during the LA riots. So it was in the last nine months, the LA riots. And he was one of
00:53:11.960
the organizers of union del burial. Um, and, uh, he was one of the guys who was out saying, um, we got to stop
00:53:23.940
ice. We got to track ice, whatever it takes on the streets. These are our streets. Okay. Revolutionary.
00:53:31.300
He's just won from the California teachers association, the human rights award.
00:53:38.540
Why am I bringing him up again? Cause it's not about that. I just want to show you that the, the teachers
00:53:44.080
unions are embracing him. Okay. He is now in the news today because he was at an anti ice protest
00:53:57.220
where he stood in front of cameras and microphone and said, we want the ice agents to know you're not
00:54:04.320
the only one with guns. You are threatening the lives of civil servants.
00:54:16.980
You are embracing a culture of death. You are saying, I don't agree with the law. And so I will
00:54:27.720
take the law into my own hands and I will start shooting civil servants, husbands, boyfriends, fathers.
00:54:37.940
I'll just shoot them because I disagree with them. And this man is still teaching in California.
00:54:55.800
Representative Robert Garcia at a press conference announced with democratic lawmakers
00:55:03.080
their intention to create a master ice tracker. Listen over the course of the next couple of weeks,
00:55:11.880
uh, the oversight committee will be launching on their website, a master ice tracker where we can,
00:55:18.920
we're going to be essentially tracking every single instance that we can verify that the community
00:55:24.180
will send, be able to send us information on. So I want to remind you that the killer, um, or the,
00:55:31.860
the guy who attempted to kill ice, uh, agents here in Dallas just a few weeks ago was using a tracker
00:55:39.360
exactly like that. Now, this is our democratic representatives from the democratic party that are now saying
00:55:50.960
they are putting a tracker together for ice agents. This is assisting premeditated murder.
00:55:59.720
I believe this is treason myself. You are going against the law
00:56:12.180
and you are now tracking federal civic, uh, civil servants. You just like saying, I'm going to put a
00:56:21.640
tracker on every police car. No, try this. Would you be allowed to put a tracker on every
00:56:29.440
Democrat in Congress and show where they are? I know it's verified. They're at this restaurant.
00:56:37.680
I verified that they're eating at this restaurant. I verified they're at their house right now.
00:56:43.920
I verified they're going to this meeting and they're going to go through this door. Would you be able to
00:56:48.960
do that? Of course not. Why? Because insane people would try to kill them.
00:56:57.700
Could I put a tracker on Air Force One? Could I put a tracker on Donald Trump and tell you his every move
00:57:05.460
and where he's going to be at what time all the time? I mean, we get close enough to that.
00:57:11.920
But you would not be able to put a tracker on the plane. Why? Because people could shoot it out of the sky.
00:57:19.340
And if you think he's Hitler, why not shoot it out of the sky?
00:57:36.320
Can the president send in the National Guard to these cities?
00:57:48.240
Or if it is impossible because of the local community and local governments, state governments,
00:57:57.920
if it is impossible for the federal law enforcement officers to enforce the law.
00:58:06.900
You are giving him no other option and they want it that way.
00:58:17.860
They want him. They need him to do that because that will prove to all of their lackeys,
00:58:24.040
all of the people who are not thinking at this critical time in our country.
00:58:29.880
It will give them proof. See, he is a dictator.
00:58:35.380
No. He is protecting the lives of civil servants
00:58:39.340
who are just doing exactly what the law is enabling them to do
00:58:46.260
And you're targeting those fathers and mothers and sons.
00:59:13.040
look at what they did when, if you got out of line with the left, they cancel you.
00:59:20.360
How many people were big on the left and then suddenly,
00:59:24.120
you think Bill Maher is going to parties with everybody?
00:59:38.620
You get out of line with people who are building a culture of death.
00:59:52.540
And before you knew it, they were turning on themselves.
01:00:02.380
And they started putting their own people into the guillotines and chopping their heads off.
01:00:09.760
And I'm telling you right now, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the weasels in Congress,
01:00:14.580
the people who allowed these radicals in in the first place,
01:00:18.640
in 2004, I said, you cannot let Michael Moore into the presidential box at the Democratic Convention.
01:00:27.600
You can't do it because they will eat you in the end.
01:00:36.680
Well, it might have been at the time also a fat joke.
01:00:43.480
And I'm telling you right now, Chuck Schumer is afraid of a literal guillotine being rolled in front of his office or his house.
01:00:50.680
Why are they not doing all of this with, you know, with the shutdown?
01:00:58.140
Why are they just absent and they're like, yeah, yeah, we're just going to keep going?
01:01:03.500
They're terrified of their own side because they know their own side will kill them.
01:01:22.940
I've been talking to you about color revolution forever.
01:01:27.440
I just, oh, that I'd have the voice of an angel and I could shake the earth.
01:01:35.420
I wish more people could hear the warnings and pay attention.
01:01:59.220
Civil war is on the horizon unless we live like Christ and we stand for the truth.
01:02:12.780
Our own side is starting to fracture because you're buying into all of these crazy conspiracy theories.
01:02:29.220
Stop going down these roads of conspiracy theories that just divide you from me and me from that person.
01:02:53.480
And the best way to serve him is by serving our fellow man with love and choosing life.
01:02:59.860
If we get lost in all of the other stuff, we are done.
01:03:13.360
Every time you see a flag at half-staff, you're reminded that freedom has a cost.
01:03:24.520
For more than two decades now, the Tunnel Towers Foundation has stood in the gap for those left behind, the families of fallen first responders and military heroes that gave up everything for people they'd never meet.
01:03:37.520
When a hero falls, their family shouldn't fall with them.
01:03:42.120
That's why Tunnel Towers pays off the mortgages of the spouses and the children of the fallen, giving them a home that's theirs forever so they don't have to change everything in their life.
01:03:51.720
And for the severely injured veterans, they build custom, mortgage-free smart homes designed to give them back independence and dignity and hope.
01:04:13.780
You are lifting up the very families who keep the light of service burning in a really, truly bright in what can be at times seemingly a very dark corner of the world.
01:04:26.640
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
01:05:06.960
And I don't say that because we're calling for violence.
01:05:10.200
I'm saying that because the people have every right to defend themselves against masked, unidentified gunmen with AR-15s and other military rifles.
01:05:21.600
The people have every right to defend themselves.
01:05:25.780
These same people who wanted to take away your guns, they're now cheering for AR-15s in the hands of private individuals.
01:05:34.060
But notice that these are revolutionaries and communists.
01:05:55.640
Enemy is anyone who refuses to see that all life is sacred.
01:06:10.380
Ever notice how your dog still thinks you're a hero?
01:06:12.320
I mean, even on your worst days when you're tired, you're busy, you're just trying to keep up.
01:06:18.800
But sometimes, without meaning to, you stop giving them everything that they need.
01:06:29.240
That's what will allow it to not go bad on a shelf for two years.
01:06:33.480
You need a nutritional supplement that you can sprinkle right on top of your dog's food.
01:06:38.200
That's packed with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, all the live nutrients that every food should have.
01:06:47.200
You keep feeding your dog what you already do, but you put Rough Greens on top, and it brings that food back to life.
01:06:53.100
And when you do, you're going to see the difference.
01:06:54.920
More energy, a healthier coat, better digestion, a happier dog, a healthier dog.
01:07:04.500

01:07:51.080
So, can we talk about what's happening in Venezuela?
01:07:54.420
I told you yesterday or the day before, I can't remember, find it on the podcast, but I laid
01:08:00.620
out what I thought was happening in Venezuela, that the president is changing the entire structure
01:08:13.120
And I've told you for years what they're doing is they've built this framework inside of the framework of the United States and the West.
01:08:22.400
And they have populated it with all of their little droids, all of their, you know, government officials all over the world.
01:08:29.980
And when when it's ready, they will collapse the system and it will fall into that safety net, which will be one global order.
01:08:44.820
The president knows that that's not the American way.
01:08:51.620
And so he knows that we're in the same kind of situation, but he is dismantling that safety net and putting together infrastructure inside that I don't think people really understand that put American sovereignty back in its rightful place.
01:09:06.760
And he is preparing for things like war with China, which we should be doing.
01:09:13.940
I don't be the worst thing that could happen, but we should prepare because they're planning on it as well.
01:09:20.780
So just like we did with Russia, I don't want to roar with Russia, but can we have detente?
01:09:28.460
And so that's what's happening in South America.
01:09:31.620
We are it's more of a target of Russia and mainly China to make sure that China gets the hell out of this hemisphere and the war on drugs.
01:09:51.040
But I think this goes much, much deeper than the drug cartel.
01:09:54.700
This is what the president said yesterday in a press conference from the Oval about this.
01:10:16.760
When you look at the people we're dealing with, and we know them, we know the people coming in, we know the boats, we know everything else.
01:10:29.140
If we don't do it, we're going to lose hundreds of thousands of people.
01:10:34.720
Now, they'll be coming in by land a little bit more because they're not coming in by boat anymore.
01:10:43.260
You know, it's pretty unusual when you see somebody with a fishing rod and five engines on the back of the boat.
01:10:52.520
And we will hit them very hard when they come in by land.
01:10:56.100
And they haven't experienced that yet, but now we're totally prepared to do that.
01:11:04.860
We're going to hit them very hard when they come in by land?
01:11:08.580
Now, is that just border enforcement, or is he, like, saying we're going to war in some way?
01:11:15.960
I mean, just believing and understanding, you know, what he's been up to over the past nine months.
01:11:25.820
I mean, I certainly, it seems to me that he's saying we're going to make sure they do not come in.
01:11:35.340
It's got to be some message he's sending to Venezuela specifically, though.
01:11:39.880
Okay, good, because I think this is what he's sending.
01:11:42.100
I think the overwhelming force, think of Maduro.
01:11:56.280
You have the United States Navy surrounding your country.
01:12:08.740
Well, you're worried that they could come in and invade or try to depose you.
01:12:23.160
Because you have people in your own country and possibly in your own government that you haven't liquidated yet,
01:12:32.640
that don't necessarily agree with you, that would like the power, that maybe don't want to be a communist country like Maduro, et cetera, et cetera.
01:12:42.700
And because there's big opposition forces in Venezuela.
01:12:46.700
So you're not only worried about the outside force, you're worried about the inside force, your own people who are close to you, killing you and toppling.
01:12:56.860
Let me, I brought some, I brought some stuff in.
01:12:58.640
I heard that quote and I, I asked for some stuff to be brought in.
01:13:04.360
If you know anything about Project Valkyrie, tell a story.
01:13:11.840
I have to watch it no matter what, no matter what point it's at.
01:13:15.640
It's, you know, Tom Cruise movie from, I don't know what year it was, but it's about the plot to kill Hitler.
01:13:29.680
This is the order from Himmler to round them up and kill them.
01:13:37.940
Yeah, and they came very, very close to succeeding.
01:13:41.180
They put in effect Operation Valkyrie, which was a Nazi-era plan to be able to, if something like this happened, to be able to protect the Nazi regime.
01:13:52.960
They kind of used that against the Nazi regime and tried to take it over.
01:13:59.780
Well, they had, there was a core of people who believed, separate cores in a way,
01:14:06.620
but the core of people that believed that Hitler was a bad guy and that this was, they needed to take him out.
01:14:15.040
Some of them were like, Hitler's doing things that are horrible.
01:14:17.880
Some of them were like, well, we're about to lose this war.
01:14:25.000
And be able to say, hey, we tried to do something about it.
01:14:38.400
And you can see where they tried to burn it as they, as the, as the Germans left.
01:14:43.680
We have all the documents from Project Valkyrie.
01:14:50.120
Remember the general who stood up and it was, he was part of it, but he wanted to kill.
01:14:57.700
And I can't remember which general it was, but he was up on the balcony.
01:15:01.340
He was like, watch him die, you know, and he killed them all.
01:15:03.980
Now we have his signed by Himmler, his execution order as well.
01:15:11.300
But, um, uh, what the president is doing right now is what the president of the United States
01:15:29.500
We know who you are and you're going to capitulate.
01:15:41.560
Now in 1944, we were, and we had to, I believe what he was saying there yesterday is you try
01:15:48.900
to come across our border and we will kill you.
01:15:52.560
Um, I don't think he's talking about ground troops in Venezuela.
01:15:58.820
Do you, you just don't know, right again, it's the president.
01:16:04.200
I've always said, I've wanted a president with a twitchy eye for our enemies, somebody
01:16:20.800
I think what he's saying here, and I think all this whole thing is saying to the general
01:16:26.920
Becks of the time in Valkyrie, he was one of the guys who was going to be, you know,
01:16:32.320
he had to get out of the country at the very end because, um, he was going to be, uh,
01:16:41.100
Uh, and he was one of the guys saying, we, we have a government, we have a government.
01:16:45.740
We're going to be able to, uh, uh, have when the, when the, uh, when Hitler is dead, we
01:16:56.480
We will call the allies and say, you don't need to come in.
01:17:04.420
I think that's part of this strategy with Donald Trump.
01:17:08.160
I think he is trying to make everybody in that part of the world who is against the United
01:17:14.120
States, who's for communism, who is in bed with China, who is, who are dealing drugs.
01:17:23.120
Now you can either help us on the inside and then we'll let you clean up the mess.
01:17:30.720
We'll let you turn the country around or you're part of the problem.
01:17:40.220
I don't know if that's true, but history always rhymes.
01:17:45.660
And, uh, and Donald Trump knows how to project power.
01:17:50.480
However, he knows how to, I mean, look what he did with, you know, little rocket man.
01:17:55.780
He didn't blow him up, but he kept him in a cage and made friends with him and made and
01:18:03.960
And people would like try to put him in a box on the stuff.
01:18:06.660
It's different strategies for each one of these people.
01:18:08.460
I mean, what he, the strategies he used for, uh, uh, little rocket man, totally different
01:18:14.780
than what he's done with Maduro and Maduro too.
01:18:17.640
You have to go back to the history of his first term where they outwardly tried to overthrow,
01:18:26.220
And this is one of the very few things he agreed with Bolton on while he was working there.
01:18:30.460
But I mean, you know, Bolton said that was basically a coup attempt.
01:18:35.780
Uh, and you know, we, we basically said, Hey, we are now recognizing the opposition leader.
01:18:41.460
Like we, we went pretty far down that road already once.
01:18:44.380
This is something he's been focused on for a long time.
01:18:46.840
We cannot have an ally of Iran and China in Venezuela.
01:18:54.400
They have the terrorist camps with Hamas and Hezbollah, which is they send for final training.
01:19:02.040
They train them on this Island right off the coast of Venezuela.
01:19:04.500
They send them back for final training in Iran that cannot stand not off the coast of America.
01:19:10.320
Most importantly, can I tell my wife that I need to watch Valkyrie again for work?
01:19:27.120
This is after we went in and we won the war and we, you know, we were looking for all the scientists,
01:19:31.980
but one of the other things we were looking for were all of his doctors.
01:19:35.000
We wanted to know what the hell was wrong with that guy for sure.
01:19:39.220
So we did an interview of all of his personal doctors.
01:19:43.780
This, this whole document is fascinating to read.
01:19:46.840
This whole document is all of the interviews with all of Hitler's doctors.
01:20:06.520
The only thing, and somebody took it out at some point and probably either kept it or sold it separately.
01:20:12.280
We, we spend so much time trying to find complete documents and we usually have to,
01:20:17.960
we usually have to go piece them all together and buy them separately.
01:20:24.280
In this one, somebody kept or, or sold separately.
01:20:31.700
The x-ray that was taken right after Valkyrie because remember he was hit.
01:20:38.600
So, I mean, this, this is the blood, this is Hitler's blood from that project Valkyrie bombing.
01:20:43.960
Um, and, uh, he had to have his brain check cause they thought he had a really bad concussion.
01:20:51.540
And so the only piece that is missing from that is his x-ray of his head from project Valkyrie.
01:20:57.280
And I can't wait till we find it might take us, you know, 15 years to find it, but we'll find it.
01:21:04.440
I've, I've never read, you know, there's some history in here that I've never read.
01:21:09.840
Quote, Hitler did not complain of bladder or rectum weakness.
01:21:23.500
Every winter, there is one night when the wind howls and the lights flicker and you realize
01:21:30.020
That's why smart people, the preppers, the planners, they're the ones who learned last time.
01:21:35.060
And they're stocking up now with my Patriot supply right now.
01:21:37.760
They've got their, their new winter prep special going on.
01:21:41.220
And I don't think this is one you want to miss.
01:21:43.320
You're, you're going to get all kinds of things in this prep special, including the Vesta powered,
01:21:50.880
It's an ingenious little device that can literally keep you warm and fed when the power grade goes out.
01:21:58.000
It is, um, it's one of the top things in the list of emergency kits that you really need
01:22:05.540
When the world outside shuts down, um, you want to be prepared.
01:22:10.740
And this is one way where you can keep your family warm and you can keep your family even
01:22:17.140
But that's just one of the things that you'll find from my Patriot supply in their winter
01:22:22.580
It's my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn, my Patriot supply.com slash Glenn.
01:22:42.060
I'm going to be with, uh, Megan Kelly on, um, on Saturday and I'm making a major announcement.
01:23:06.400
And it's at the Dickies arena, uh, in Fort worth, Texas, and you can get your tickets
01:23:12.760
Um, I, you know, I don't know what she wants to talk to me about, but I'm, I was thinking
01:23:17.960
about bringing some things, uh, cause I know she really has a problem with transgender, you
01:23:26.640
And I bet she doesn't know about the first transgender surgery ever performed in the
01:23:32.060
world, 1925 Berlin, uh, and the parallels of the Weimar Republic and the brown shirts
01:23:43.080
and everything else that is happening and the choice that the churches now have to make.
01:23:48.540
And if our churches don't wake up, they'll make the same choice they did in Germany.
01:23:53.960
And I know, you know, this stuff really well, but correct me if I'm wrong.
01:23:56.340
Wasn't one of the, the basis of a lot of this stuff was it's science.
01:24:02.420
I want to take her right from, I want to take her from, you know, the origin of the species,
01:24:08.680
uh, where science now said, yeah, there is, there are subspecies there.
01:24:18.320
There are selected and favored races and how that was now science.
01:24:23.460
So now that grows these bigots and these haters that don't like blacks or whatever.
01:24:30.460
And they now say, you know, I, you follow science.
01:24:33.640
You might call me a bigot, but I'm following science.
01:24:38.160
And that led to the whole progressive era that ended up being a absolute nightmare.
01:24:47.180
I haven't decided what, I still have to decide what I'm going to bring, what, what, what she'd allow me to talk about, you know, in a short period.
01:25:04.420
It's the place you've, you know, build all your memories.
01:25:08.560
In today's digital age, though, there really is a big threat to that.
01:25:12.520
And it doesn't come from, you know, storm or fire or a break in.
01:25:15.640
It comes from a criminal that you'll never meet sitting behind a computer screen.
01:25:19.180
You'll never see with just a few stolen details.
01:25:24.840
They can borrow against your equity and they can drain the value of your home before you even realize it's gone.
01:25:29.580
It's called home title theft and is happening quietly every day to families who thought they were protected.
01:25:36.180
That's why safeguarding your title has become essential to locking, you know, your home kind of down.
01:25:42.480
Like you think about locking it up in physical terms, sure.
01:25:47.660
It can monitor the documents connected to your property and scan for signs of fraud, tampering or whatever else.

01:27:04.600
I have to tell you, I'm so excited for you to listen to my next guest, Charles Murray.
01:27:14.260
The courage of this man during his whole life has been remarkable.
01:27:18.840
I kind of liken him to the white Clarence Thomas, a guy who just believes what he believes
01:27:26.500
and just takes a pounding his whole life, but I don't care.
01:27:34.200
Saying the white Clarence Thomas is a little redundant.
01:27:42.540
I want to talk to him because he is taking religion seriously.
01:27:52.100
He was, I'm not sure if he was an atheist or an agnostic, but I think an atheist.
01:27:59.400
And he has taken this with his scientific mind, and his journey is phenomenal.
01:28:06.300
So I want to talk to him about that and take you on that journey and make sure that you
01:28:11.640
read Taking Religion Seriously by Charles Murray.
01:28:16.880
The funny thing about identity theft is it doesn't feel real until it happens to you.
01:28:21.260
One day you're, you know, you're checking account, you're paying bills, you're living
01:28:25.280
The next thing you're staring at charges you didn't make, addresses you don't recognize,
01:28:29.720
and somebody out there is pretending to be you.
01:28:31.420
Our lives are online now, and names, our banking, our medical records, our tax information, all
01:28:38.720
And it's all stuff, data that people who are, you know, not the best of humans, you know,
01:28:46.080
are in their mom's basement, or they're in a tower in China, in Beijing, or, you know,
01:28:57.560
There are people all over the world that want your information.
01:29:02.240
Their team monitors your information for signs of unusual activity across the dark web, credit
01:29:06.680
networks, and data sources that you can't watch on your own.

Charles, what an honor to have you on again, sir.
01:29:35.880
Well, it's such a pleasure to be back with you, Glenn.
01:29:39.680
Thank you for all of the hits you have taken, and almost everything from the bell curve,
01:29:45.560
almost everything you have ever written has turned out to be absolutely true, and they
01:29:52.140
So, thank you for taking the beating for the truth.
01:29:57.320
But I've been a very lucky guy in all the important ways.
01:30:00.620
So, taking religious seriously, were you an atheist or an agnostic?
01:30:07.780
I was an agnostic, and I wasn't at all hostile to religion.
01:30:11.660
I thought religion had a lot of value for society, but it just wasn't important to me.
01:30:18.140
I didn't have strong beliefs, and I didn't seem to need religion.
01:30:26.520
Right, and I think there's a lot of people that might feel that way, but now you say you
01:30:34.980
Well, first, you've got to realize that I did not have a road to Damascus moment that
01:30:41.060
I'm talking about 30 years of thinking about this.
01:30:46.980
My wife had our first baby in 1985, and she came to me after a couple of months, and she
01:30:54.600
said, I love this baby so much, I'm having a hard time figuring out where I stop, and she
01:31:01.900
And then she said something, which is a beautiful line, been quoted by others subsequently.
01:31:07.400
She said, I love her far more than evolution requires.
01:31:12.920
And you've got to understand, she is Oxford and Yale educated.
01:31:17.620
She knows all about the evolutionary psychology, and she understands that part of evolution
01:31:23.700
depends on women loving their babies, because otherwise they don't pass on their genes.
01:31:29.620
But she felt that she was the conduit for something greater than that, and that was pointing her
01:31:40.900
I kind of, that's an overused word on things, spiritual, but it was.
01:31:45.340
And I said, good for you, and I took care of our little girl on Sundays when she was trying
01:31:52.540
out various churches, and basically stood by for about 10 years until I realized, you
01:32:01.780
I have to tell you, my journey to God started by reading something from Thomas Jefferson,
01:32:07.760
and I think you can so relate it, because understanding your journey, I think, is exactly the way you
01:32:13.400
Thomas Jefferson wrote something to his nephew, Peter Carr, and he was trying to teach him
01:32:17.960
what all the things he needs to do to be a well-educated, well-rounded man.
01:32:25.720
And he said, when it comes to religion, above all things, fix reason firmly in her seat, and
01:32:32.500
question with boldness even the very existence of God.
01:32:35.620
For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.
01:32:45.420
It gave me permission to go, I don't know if there is a God, but if there is a God, everything
01:32:53.000
Everything would be, you'd be able to find the intelligent design some way or another.
01:32:59.220
And it just gave me the permission to not listen to people who say, oh, you're a heretic if
01:33:12.640
And there should be all kinds of supports in all walks of life and in all philosophies.
01:33:28.540
I think it is, in some sense, a route that is available to people like, I think, both of
01:33:39.120
God gene is a shorthand for kinds of abilities to have spiritual insights.
01:33:47.580
I think that some people, in fact, I'm quite confident of this because I've met a lot of
01:33:55.360
Some people have a talent for spiritual insight in the same way that some people have a talent
01:34:01.240
for being moved by music or appreciating great art or great literature.
01:34:12.060
Yeah, no, I actually do, but I was at a point to where I didn't know, I was an alcoholic
01:34:19.140
and I didn't know what was true and what, you know, I realized everything I believe about
01:34:25.240
And even those experiences, were those because I believed so deeply that they happened or
01:34:32.620
I just wanted to know what was true and what was made up or what had been taught to me
01:34:43.680
Something else that happened to me as I got started on this was that I realized that without
01:34:53.400
I mean, secular catechism meaning it's a pretty standard one for people, well-educated, successful
01:35:02.780
And it says things like, look, we got a hundred billion universes and we are one little planet
01:35:11.460
And the idea that there is a personal God watching over us is kind of ridiculous.
01:35:18.160
Another part of it was that science has taught us that consciousness exists in our brain and
01:35:26.440
And once consciousness stops, then everything else stops.
01:35:30.300
And that means that an afterlife is ridiculous.
01:35:37.360
Oh, also, and that when you came to Christianity, you had these ancient texts that probably had
01:35:43.200
been changed dramatically over the centuries and bore no relationship to what a man called
01:35:52.300
That catechism was making a bunch of empirical assertions, but I hadn't checked any of them
01:36:00.000
They were just sort of, they were just sort of the common criticism of religion that
01:36:05.600
And so a great deal of my beginning was, okay, let's sort of look and see how sure I can be
01:36:14.200
And that produced a whole bunch of changes in my thinking.
01:36:21.540
Can you take those and show us what you learned and what changed?
01:36:24.800
The first one, and this is as close to a road to Damascus moment that I've had, was when
01:36:31.860
I read a little book called Just Six Numbers in the early 2000s.
01:36:37.900
It was written by an astrophysicist, British astrophysicist, Martin Rees.
01:36:45.480
What he gave in Just Six Numbers were six examples of what is called, sorry for all the
01:36:53.040
technical terms I'm dropping, the anthropic principle.
01:36:57.640
And this is the finding in physics that the likelihood that we live in a universe that
01:37:08.020
By phenomenally, I mean literally one in trillions.
01:37:13.160
At the moment of the Big Bang, which is now Consensus Physical Science, at the moment of the Big Bang, there
01:37:23.040
were a whole variety of relationships that if they were not exactly what they were, we would
01:37:34.400
In order for galaxies to form and planets to form, you had to have, for example, a balance
01:37:42.780
between the forces holding together the atom versus the force of gravity, or else you would
01:37:49.100
have a situation in which the stars would burn out too quickly to form civilizations.
01:37:57.680
I'm not going to go into the detail and take it as a summary that we're talking maybe a
01:38:05.260
dozen or two dozen parameters that are arbitrary and all had to fit together for us to live
01:38:16.580
We can either say that we bought a lottery ticket and won a trillion chance, which is not
01:38:25.460
very satisfactory, or we can say that actually there are millions of universes, as one branch
01:38:33.100
of physics is trying to claim, but certainly has not demonstrated.
01:38:37.060
I find that to be far more outlandish than the idea of a god.
01:38:42.920
And the third one is that a force intentionally created a universe that permits life.
01:38:58.420
And that, for me, was a huge step forward, because that's way different from Richard
01:39:07.560
Well, if you look at it, because I went down this same road that you did.
01:39:13.160
When you look at the exactness of everything, you know, a one-degree temperature change in
01:39:24.320
How this came together by happenstance is insane.
01:39:29.020
It's insane to think that that's the way it happened.
01:39:35.360
I mean, I think this was originally a Christian idea, the Big Bang.
01:39:38.480
And then it was kind of hijacked and turned on itself.
01:39:42.480
But the idea of the Big Bang is, okay, it started like this, but who lit the match?
01:39:50.760
What was, as my father used to say, what was first cause?
01:39:59.040
One of the reasons that physicists really resisted the Big Bang theory when it was first
01:40:05.680
put out is it sounds like they're just putting a scientific gloss on Genesis.
01:40:15.040
And as of 1920, before the Big Bang theory had started to develop, that was just anathema
01:40:24.720
to think that the universe started at a specific moment in time.
01:40:37.220
You really, if you are somebody who takes, you know, a search for God seriously, this
01:40:58.360
Let me tell you about good ranchers in a world where most everything seems imported.
01:41:01.700
It's still easy to forget that America knows how to feed itself.
01:41:04.780
Thankfully, good ranchers exist to prove that we do every cut they sell, every steak, every
01:41:09.220
chicken breast, every burger comes from 100% American farms and ranches.
01:41:13.900
You know, the president just did something that I don't agree with because it's hurting
01:41:18.100
our ranchers and they're going to have a hard time.
01:41:22.140
It's so important that you help our ranchers and you support American ranches.
01:41:28.480
When you open a box from good ranchers, you're getting more than just meat.
01:41:31.360
You're supporting families who refuse to outsource their livelihoods.
01:41:35.000
And they're standing up for a way of life that still believes in quality, hard work and
01:41:41.240
Every package is vacuum sealed, flash frozen, delivered straight to your door, fresher than
01:41:45.840
the supermarket and better than any imported that you'll find from, you know, half a world

01:42:08.600
Okay, so Charles, you said there were there were three things.
01:42:32.420
And as so many of us are, where else could consciousness exist except the brain?
01:42:39.600
And of course, when the brain shuts down, consciousness shuts down.
01:42:43.500
Well, it turns out there's a lot of very good evidence that is not true.
01:42:50.820
I think the most impressive and hardest to refute forms are near-death experiences.
01:42:56.600
And almost everybody's heard about near-death experiences by this time.
01:43:00.780
And a lot of them are extremely well documented.
01:43:05.260
This is when people, their hearts have stopped.
01:43:11.700
And they report, first, being able to see what's going on and the attempts to resuscitate them,
01:43:18.300
including specific idiosocratic events that there should be no way that they know.
01:43:24.040
And then there's the famous light at the end of the tunnel and other things that occur
01:43:29.360
in the course of the experience that we can't verify.
01:43:33.100
But the point is we can verify a lot of the things that they are reporting that they are able to see,
01:43:39.000
usually from above, that it's going on while they're in the hospital.
01:43:44.400
Well, that certainly makes it difficult to say that consciousness can't exist without the brain.
01:43:55.620
And it involves people who have advanced dementia,
01:43:58.720
haven't recognized their spouse or children for years,
01:44:04.640
I mean, sadly, many listeners and in my own life have had parents or other friends who suffered from dementia.
01:44:14.180
They suddenly, about a day or so before they die, in some cases, are back.
01:44:24.860
But by back, I mean they recognize their family members.
01:44:33.180
They exhibit personality characteristics that they had before.
01:44:39.040
And these are witnessed not only by the relatives,
01:44:42.400
but oftentimes medical personnel are also in the room
01:44:45.780
and recording clinical descriptions of what's going on.
01:44:54.780
if they do not have brains that are functionally able to have co-organized thought.
01:45:01.000
So, all of that leads one to say, and in my case to say it with a little bit of trepidation,
01:45:17.160
There was a very influential revisionist force that basically trashed the New Testament
01:45:28.120
so that they were essentially saying you can't trust a thing in the New Testament
01:45:33.300
as really reflecting the words of Jesus of Nazareth,
01:45:36.400
let alone trust any of the specific accounts of the miracles or anything else.
01:45:41.700
And there is a school of scholarship that has been gaining momentum in the last 20 or 30 years,
01:45:52.200
which is pushing back on that with a lot of new research that I find very impressive.
01:45:59.340
And I think it's impressive on a couple of scores.
01:46:02.140
One is, I think that it is pushing back the dates of the Gospels
01:46:10.120
to much earlier than they've ordinarily been dated.
01:46:14.000
You know, most of them have been dated toward the end of the first century,
01:46:19.820
It seems much more plausible to me with the evidence that's come to light
01:46:23.340
that we're talking the 40s and 50s when they were composed.
01:46:29.380
Yeah. And also, a lot of the revisionist claims of anonymous authors and editions and so forth
01:46:38.940
that were added completely apart from anything that really was in the Bible,
01:46:45.960
well, a lot of that has been debunked by some fascinating research,
01:46:52.080
which documents the ways in which whoever wrote the Gospels knew an awful lot about first century Judea and Galilee.
01:47:01.560
There's just an awful lot of specifics that they get right, that the discredited Gospels don't get right.
01:47:12.760
Let me take a quick break, and I want to continue this,
01:47:15.140
but I also want to ask you about the resurrection.
01:47:19.020
How does a guy like you deal with something like the resurrection of Christ?
01:47:23.900
I don't know, you know, where you stand on that, but I'm anxious to hear what you found on that.
01:47:38.580
So if you are 65 or older, there is a date you need to remember, and it's December 7th.
01:47:47.760
and missing out on it could cost you thousands next year.
01:47:51.600
Every year, the plans change, the drug tiers shift, providers drop out,
01:47:55.520
and the plan that used to be perfect for you now may leave you without your doctor
01:47:59.980
or you paying more or, you know, for much less.
01:48:03.600
This is why Americans are turning now to chapter.
01:48:09.920
It's a free service, and it was started by a group of people, Silicon Valley guys,
01:48:14.640
whose parents, they watch their parents get screwed by, you know,
01:48:17.880
these people who are just trying to sell people into Medicare plans,
01:48:21.380
and they're like, you know, it was not right for their parents,
01:48:27.860
Call chapter right now and lock in the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the right plan
01:48:36.040
So if you're on Medicare or will be soon, your parents are going in,
01:48:57.200
You can get the t-shirt available now at glennbeck.com.
01:49:01.060
Charles Murray is a policy analyst, MIT, Harvard.
01:49:21.460
In 1984, he published Losing Ground, which changed everything about the war on poverty.
01:49:29.800
And then he wrote The Bell Curve, which was highly controversial, that changed everything.
01:49:37.040
Coming Apart in 2012, which was absolutely spot on accurate.
01:49:42.340
I mean, he is prolific and way ahead of the curve and has spent his life, you know, just under attack from elites.
01:49:55.320
Although, you know, in some ways he is an elite.
01:49:59.180
He is really well educated, et cetera, et cetera.
01:50:03.620
He's now got a new book out called Taking Religion Seriously.
01:50:06.700
We were talking about these three things that he needed to take on himself.
01:50:11.160
And the last one that he was talking about was the truth of the writing of the Gospels, the time period that they were in, the accuracy of the Gospels, who actually wrote them.
01:50:20.920
And he was talking about how there is new, good scholarly work being done that maybe those Gospels were written earlier than we've thought in the past.
01:50:35.620
Charles, I'm so sorry to interrupt you on that.
01:50:41.020
Because I want to go on to the Christ resurrection, which I think goes in there.
01:50:47.640
No, let's go directly to the resurrection because that's one of the most fascinating aspects of this whole work.
01:50:57.660
The resurrection should be sort of the easiest to disregard.
01:51:07.000
And yet the data, and you can talk about the data because we know a fair amount,
01:51:13.300
really makes it very hard to avoid concluding that something happened of extraordinary power at the time of Easter.
01:51:23.640
And the reason I say that is that you had the execution by one of the most humiliating, gruesome ways that a leader could be executed.
01:51:35.020
You had the persecution of his followers that were coming.
01:51:45.220
They were not market researchers or publicists or anything else.
01:52:01.500
And then a couple of weeks later, they are utterly energized and preaching a risen Christ and absolutely confident.
01:52:11.820
Now, that kind of transformation does not happen without an extraordinary stimulus.
01:52:18.060
And coming up with an extraordinary stimulus that doesn't look like the resurrection is a problem.
01:52:24.020
And furthermore, you have these same disciples going to their deaths, often decades later, often under torture, still insisting that Christ rose from the grave.
01:52:37.240
Now, this makes it hard to just dismiss the resurrection out of hand.
01:52:44.020
And then, of course, you have this thing called the Shroud of Turin that some of your listeners will know about and others won't.
01:52:52.220
I was just there, spent three or four days with all the experts in the world on the Shroud of Turin.
01:53:06.840
And I think one of the more interesting sections of the book, because I do have a fairly detailed recounting of the kinds of what things that make this object absolutely baffling.
01:53:24.960
They have a new method of dating, which puts the Shroud back a couple of thousand years, appropriately for if it were genuine.
01:53:34.000
Whereas before there was a carbon dating that said it was a medieval cloth, that carbon dating had terrible problems.
01:53:42.420
Mainly, they had a segment of the cloth, which was an add-on.
01:53:47.880
And so I'll tell you, if that dating is confirmed, or the new dating is confirmed, I'm going to have a very hard time saying to myself that it did not contain the body of a resurrected Christ.
01:54:12.920
Because, you know, we started with, you know, I thought I didn't need God.
01:54:17.860
What is the importance of knowing all of this in today's world and in our society?
01:54:25.520
I think I need to talk to two different audiences when I do this.
01:54:33.140
The first is people who have never taken religion seriously.
01:54:38.240
And, Glenn, my suspicion is that the first part of the book where I talk about an intentional universe and consciousness independently of the brain,
01:54:52.300
And I think these people, but a lot of them will have problems when we get into the specifics of Christianity.
01:54:59.000
So to this first audience, I'm saying, look, you need to take on seriously the degree to which the relationship between science and religion has flipped.
01:55:11.320
For a long time, science was explaining things that people had previously attributed to God.
01:55:22.520
Over the last century, science has been discovering new things we never knew existed for which religion has answers that science does not.
01:55:31.280
That's a fundamental change that you need to be aware of.
01:55:35.000
And the second thing is I want people to realize the extent to which the Enlightenment cut us off from a wealth of wisdom by a variety of profoundly spiritually sensitive thinkers that occurred around 600 B.C.
01:55:54.420
And so that's not just the Old Testament being put together.
01:56:01.520
You had some very, very wise people have insights about the nature of the universe and the nature of the human condition that after the Enlightenment, smart people who get a big education have tended to just never access.
01:56:18.000
And it's important to access that because it can deeply enrich your understanding of the universe and your place in it.
01:56:26.400
And then if you're willing to go more specifically into Christianity, I have found that, for example, I feel in my life the qualities of God's love and also the concept of grace, forgiveness of sins.
01:56:45.320
And I feel this at a level which is now no longer just intellectual, but I feel it as a reality in my life.
01:56:55.660
And this kind of having this kind of enrichment of your life is not as dramatic as a sudden conversion in which you are an evangelical Christian wholeheartedly and with no reservations whatsoever.
01:57:10.060
But I assure you, it is well worth the effort to do.
01:57:17.900
You know, I've often said I don't understand how scientists don't see the – I mean, if God exists, he is the greatest mathematician and greatest scientist ever.
01:57:33.060
And I don't know why both sides try to separate religion from science.
01:57:45.600
Yes, and I also agree with Thomas Aquinas, who a long time ago said humans must understand that God takes pleasure in our understanding his universe, which is, by the way, very different from Islam, that God wants us to understand his universe.
01:58:12.600
God loves it when scientists are discovering new facts about the universe.
01:58:17.560
And similarly, it's very clear that the notion of a rational God was instrumental in creating a science.
01:58:27.580
So, I agree with you, I don't agree with Stephen Jay Goulds, who had said their non-overlapping magisteria, science and religion.
01:58:36.960
I think that as time goes on, they are blending rather than maintaining their antagonism.
01:58:43.900
Why did you say that about Islam, where you said un-lawful?
01:58:48.520
Oh, because Islam, they consider it – it's considered denying God's power to try to establish laws that must be – God, the universe obeys.
01:59:00.920
You are limiting Allah's power to – because he sustains the universe on a second-to-second basis.
01:59:09.580
The universe does not have an existence independently of his constant sponsorship of us, as it were.
01:59:16.800
So, it's just like you aren't supposed to have pictures that depict anything religious in Islam.
01:59:27.560
How is your understanding of religion, and do you feel that it is going to play, or needs to play, a more important role in man's future, especially with what's coming with AI?
01:59:47.740
What are we facing, and how important is this journey?
01:59:51.460
I think one of the most important results of a resurgence of religion will be an understanding that morality is fundamentally grounded in absolutes,
02:00:09.900
in truths that are not subject to situational ethics and the rest of it.
02:00:15.040
C.S. Lewis makes a very powerful case for a moral law that is essentially divine in origins and that provides a bottom to our ethical decisions.
02:00:27.960
If there is one thing that I think we are seeing over the last 50 years, it is the degree to which secular humanism does not have staying power.
02:00:37.100
That, from a moral perspective, time and again, they get on slippery slopes, whereby something that sounds fine to begin with, such as assisted suicide for people who are desperately ill and in great pain,
02:00:52.900
suddenly, you know, slowly turns into euthanasia that is more and more broadly available and is applied sometimes when it's not clear that the people really want to be euthanized.
02:01:05.460
It's that kind of slippery slope that the moral law helps us avoid.
02:01:12.300
I think secular humanism is not enough to sustain the role that religion plays in supporting civil society.
02:01:24.260
The last question, I've only got about a minute on this.
02:01:27.420
I don't know if you can answer it in a minute, but we are headed for, you know, cataclysmic stuff if we don't turn around.
02:01:41.080
I find the left utterly incomprehensible recently.
02:01:47.940
I don't see – I'm a social scientist, and I look at the social sciences now, and they say, I don't think they're redeemable.
02:01:55.300
I think that they're deeply corrupt and just getting worse.
02:02:01.040
So short answer, since I've only got a few seconds, is on this score, I am deeply pessimistic.
02:02:12.140
It really is an honor to talk to you, and I hope we get a chance to spend some more time on this in the future.
02:02:17.620
I really appreciate it, and congratulations on the book and on everything you've done in your life.
02:02:29.060
Charles Murray, the author of the book, Taking Religion Seriously.
02:02:42.040
Ever assume your mobile company just shares your values, and then look in, and you find the values include funding politicians that Soros would like to vote for or programs that you'd never support?
02:02:55.000
One phone company is different, and that is Patriot Mobile.
02:02:58.220
They are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
02:03:01.220
That means your money doesn't go to corporations or activists.
02:03:04.440
It goes directly to organizations fighting for freedom, religious liberty, and the sanctity of life, and they're putting their profits where their principles are and still giving you nationwide coverage on the same powerful networks.
02:03:16.280
So if you're tired of your phone bill supporting everything you hate, it's time to switch.
02:03:21.520
You can keep your phone, keep your number, and keep your conscience clear every time you pay that bill.
02:03:26.220
Sometimes the simple act of switching your cell service is not just convenience.
02:03:31.020
Patriot Mobile, stand for what you believe in and stay connected while you do it.
02:03:35.700

A wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.

I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.
02:04:41.340
Go to glennbeck.com right now and get your no Kings but Christ t-shirt.
02:04:49.320
You go up to the desk, the big desk in the sky, and Peter's like, come on in.
02:05:00.600
I'm just thinking this out from a theological sense for a moment.
02:05:08.600
Well, my point, I think what you just suggested, if you're saying I have to go buy a t-shirt
02:05:13.200
at glennbeck.com, that is theologically unsound.
02:05:16.460
Because what you're saying is, if you die in the t-shirt, they'll know you're one of
02:05:21.860
So you need to buy multiple t-shirts to have different ones on every day.
02:05:39.840
But let's say you're down in the middle of the night, you're, for some reason, butt
02:05:52.260
I'll also say, you don't want to take scorching hot beverages when you're not wearing clothing.
02:05:56.140
You just don't know what's going to spill and where it's going to spill.
02:06:02.580
I think some might quibble with the selling of merchandise.
02:06:16.200
It's a great message to send, though, I will say.
