The Glenn Beck Program - The REAL Reason Fulton County Released Trump's Mug Shot ｜ Guests： Granger Smith & Kristen Waggoner ｜ 8⧸25⧸23

00:00:00.000 I want to talk to you a little bit about My Patriot Supplies.

00:00:02.940 My Patriot Supply is a place that I've trusted for a long time for my family.

00:00:07.720 You go to the website preparewithglenn.com,

00:00:10.260 and right now they're offering a three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply.

00:00:15.520 It's a wide variety of different kinds of foods that you can pick.

00:00:21.060 2,000 calories, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, everything that you need.

00:00:25.420 And please, stock up before even more crazy things happen.

00:00:31.980 I mean, we have a prisoner number now as the president.

00:00:37.520 He has another number other than 45.

00:00:40.520 What is happening to our country?

00:00:42.780 Please, prepare yourself now.

00:00:46.180 Preparewithglenn.com.

00:00:47.380 That's preparewithglenn.com.

00:00:55.420 We got to stand together.

00:01:24.100 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:45.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:48.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:54.500 Well, our president now has a mugshot.

00:01:58.180 He has a prison number.

00:02:00.940 Where are we headed?

00:02:03.260 We're also going to check overseas today.

00:02:06.120 We've got a few things that are happening there.

00:02:08.500 The Alliance Defending Freedom.

00:02:11.140 The CEO and president is joining us here in a little while.

00:02:14.500 A member of parliament is under trial again for quoting the Bible.

00:02:20.780 Already beat this once.

00:02:23.380 She quoted the Bible.

00:02:26.480 Now under trial a second time trying to put them in jail.

00:02:31.340 You seen how many attorneys are now in jail?

00:02:34.100 You see what's going on?

00:02:35.920 America, we're in a very different place than we were.

00:02:43.080 And I want to talk to you about the trust you have.

00:02:48.320 Who do you trust?

00:02:50.700 Who can you trust?

00:02:52.820 I'm going to start with a quick stop in Hawaii when we come back in 60 seconds.

00:02:59.720 So there are some pains you just have to live with.

00:03:02.120 For instance, I've got a pain in my backside.

00:03:04.840 It affects me every single day.

00:03:06.660 I sit here at work and the pain is just throbbing over here on my right.

00:03:12.140 It's shaped like stew.

00:03:13.660 But anyway, no amount of anything is going to get rid of that.

00:03:18.100 If you have something that's maybe less severe than that pain in your backside like stew,

00:03:23.280 please try the three-week quick start, 1995.

00:03:26.280 It's a trial pack of Relief Factor.

00:03:28.360 It's not a drug.

00:03:29.540 So it's not going to whack you out.

00:03:31.300 It's actually meant to hit your inflammation in your body from four different directions.

00:03:36.400 Ibuprofen only does it from one.

00:03:38.400 This hits it from four different directions.

00:03:40.620 That's why I think it works for me and so many others.

00:03:43.520 Relieffactor.com.

00:03:44.620 Go there now.

00:03:45.280 800, the number four relief.

00:03:46.900 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.

00:03:49.680 Relieffactor.com.

00:03:51.100 800, the number four relief.

00:03:53.120 Feel the difference.

00:03:54.820 I'm going to start with a story and I want you to listen to this because it is way beyond Maui.

00:04:05.040 Remember that our government or the government of Hawaii delayed the supply of critically needed water.

00:04:12.700 They distrusted the people and how they might react.

00:04:16.640 So they didn't give them a proper warning.

00:04:19.360 They didn't put off the air sirens.

00:04:21.540 They didn't release any text messages, which we all know those alarms go off on our phones all the time.

00:04:28.600 The Maui Emergency Management Agency chose not to do these things.

00:04:37.580 Other officials had been warned years in advance that the historic town faced high wildfire risk.

00:04:44.440 They dragged their feet on preventative measures.

00:04:47.220 This I am quoting from the New York Times.

00:04:51.300 Now, let me tell you a story.

00:04:52.980 It's about a mom who ran a cleaning service in Lahaina, and she was working, unfortunately, the day her town was reduced to ash.

00:05:02.520 She has an adopted son.

00:05:05.600 He would have turned 15 on Sunday.

00:05:08.900 He was only five miles away from home.

00:05:12.760 He was at home with his dog just enjoying the last day of summer vacation.

00:05:18.360 CBS News now has reported that when mom and her husband learned about the threat of the fires, they jumped in the car and they raced home to try to save him.

00:05:33.940 Vargas told CBS, I was told, don't go, don't go.

00:05:37.460 But I responded, it's my son.

00:05:39.780 They had gridlock traffic.

00:05:41.900 It was a race against time.

00:05:43.800 They ditched their vehicle, continued on foot.

00:05:46.240 However, then they were met with another obstacle, a police barricade.

00:05:52.400 NPR has reported the police were barring people from going toward the firestorm.

00:05:58.280 She said, I told them my son was still in our house.

00:06:00.980 I said, he's in this house on this street.

00:06:04.000 There was a language barrier.

00:06:06.640 It took more time.

00:06:09.760 She said, that's when I got down on my knees and I threw my hands in the air. 0.81

00:06:13.740 And then I disobeyed.

00:06:17.020 She went and she slipped past the officers. 0.91

00:06:20.460 She ran in her flip flops, which were melting.

00:06:25.660 She was reportedly taken by a man on a motorcycle right up to the fire's front.

00:06:31.060 When she attempted to enter the fire zone, first responders assured her the area had been cleared.

00:06:39.040 No one is there.

00:06:40.480 Everyone.

00:06:41.120 You have to have faith in the system.

00:06:43.340 Everyone is.

00:06:44.980 We've gone through all of these houses.

00:06:47.260 Everyone had escaped.

00:06:50.540 Well, with the understanding that their son and others in the area had been cleared out by the authorities.

00:06:55.760 Her and her husband did what they were told and they went to the beach.

00:07:01.540 They waited, among all the other families, for their son to show up.

00:07:06.820 They didn't find him.

00:07:13.680 For two days, they waited.

00:07:15.440 Then they could finally make their way back in to the home.

00:07:21.620 This is when she discovered the area had not been cleared.

00:07:29.160 They went into what was remaining of the house.

00:07:32.580 And mom found her son dead in his bedroom, clutching his dog.

00:07:41.960 The Associated Press has reported that barricades erected by authorities didn't just slow Vargas rescues, her efforts in town, but prevented some Maui residents from escaping the blaze as well.

00:08:11.960 If you were attempting to flee the fires, there was only one exit, and it was the only paved road out of town.

00:08:20.200 But authorities set up a barricade, a barricade that would allow them to access Highway 30.

00:08:26.660 As a result, numerous cars were sent back into the flames.

00:08:34.140 Now, those who disregarded the barricade managed to survive, including one family who ignored the barricade

00:08:41.620 and just drove around it, having ignored the instruction of authorities, the family ended up safe and secure.

00:08:49.780 A man who also had no time for these restrictions drove his four-wheel drive vehicle down a dirt road to safety.

00:08:56.760 Another went uphill to safety, precisely where the government said,

00:09:02.120 We can't use the air horns because people will go up the hill and they'll die.

00:09:10.200 He drove his truck uphill.

00:09:14.380 He lived.

00:09:15.580 I want to talk to you about the experts and your government.

00:09:34.260 You don't have to have an evil government.

00:09:41.100 You just have to have a big, unresponsive government that thinks it knows better and will make you comply.

00:09:51.400 It doesn't have to be evil.

00:09:52.860 Governments are not responsive and cannot adapt, and it closes out all opportunities for everyone who thinks differently,

00:10:07.460 whether that is just in business or on escape.

00:10:11.680 By the way, the experts are also telling us now that if you are fighting against obesity, you're fat-phobic.

00:10:26.080 Well, maybe I'm fat-phobic, but as a fat man, I know anyone who says to me,

00:10:31.600 You know what, Glenn? Have some more ice cream, is trying to kill me.

00:10:35.940 Period. Period.

00:10:38.100 Now, your experts are now trying to kill people, because that's what it is.

00:10:44.540 Anyone who says, It's fine. Lizzo, you are healthy. You go, girl. Have some more pancakes.

00:10:52.040 They are trying to kill them.

00:10:57.580 How about this one?

00:10:59.280 We have to have electric vehicles because it's so bad for the planet.

00:11:03.820 You know, gas and oil, it's bad for the planet.

00:11:05.900 Well, what's going to be better for us?

00:11:11.420 Electric vehicles.

00:11:12.900 And electric vehicles, remember, they've got to take your gas stove out of your house. 1.00

00:11:17.420 You can't have your water heater because it might be hurting your children.

00:11:22.600 Because we care about children.

00:11:24.900 And maybe you don't because you're white and you're racist and you just like people enslaved.

00:11:32.020 Hmm.

00:11:32.380 Hmm.

00:11:35.900 In order to facilitate electric vehicle production, the U.S. is seeking to spend taxpayer dollars to develop cobalt supply chains from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

00:11:47.420 A country which is known for high prevalence of unsafe child labor in its mines.

00:11:56.420 Most of the mines are controlled by the Chinese.

00:12:01.980 So, you don't like enslavement.

00:12:06.140 But our government will now send over a buttload of your hard-earned money to people who are running child labor in cobalt mines in Africa. 0.96

00:12:19.500 Why?

00:12:21.500 Why?

00:12:23.380 Well, because we need it from someplace because China has about 75% of all cobalt.

00:12:30.960 You cannot build a battery without cobalt.

00:12:33.880 Who's doing us a service?

00:12:38.340 And by the way, if you actually think that we can go and take cobalt from the mines of Africa, ship it over to China or over here, shipping pieces over here, combining them, shipping them back and forth to make sure everything is refined.

00:12:59.340 Then, having a car built in parts of it in Canada, parts of it in Mexico, parts of it in Brazil, parts of it in China, have them all shipped together and then put on a giant truck.

00:13:13.980 And that's better for the environment.

00:13:16.420 You're out of your mind.

00:13:18.700 You're out of your mind.

00:13:23.520 By the way, a new update from the experts.

00:13:26.420 The experts have just done an analysis in Europe of 39 brands of straws.

00:13:37.380 And now they're looking for a new synthetic chemical, PFAS.

00:13:43.200 They found the majority of the straws tested that had this chemical in it are bamboo or paper.

00:13:52.840 Synthetic chemicals used to make everyday products from outdoor clothing to nonstick pans resistant to water, heat and stains.

00:14:01.720 However, when they're put into straws, they're harmful to people, the wildlife and the environment.

00:14:09.900 Substances, quoting from the study, break down very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment.

00:14:17.340 A property that has led them being known as forever chemicals.

00:14:22.420 They're also linked to a number of health care problems, including lower response to vaccines, lower birth weight, thyroid disease, increased cholesterol levels, liver damage, kidney cancer and tech testicular cancer.

00:14:36.420 They're now saying don't use paper straws.

00:14:42.420 By the way, we have some new news as well.

00:14:44.820 Biden's health czar has just come out.

00:14:47.680 They're going to revise the alcohol advice to match Canada's alcohol advice.

00:14:53.960 Dr. George Koob.

00:14:55.200 He's watching Canada's, quote, big experiment with interest.

00:15:01.120 If there is health benefits, I think people will start to reevaluate where we are in the U.S.

00:15:06.300 Current recommendations say women can have up to one bottle of beer, small glass of wine or a shot of spirit a day, while men can have two.

00:15:13.020 But the new study out shows drinking any amount of alcohol raised the risk of someone suffering 60 diseases.

00:15:22.140 33 have never been linked to booze before.

00:15:25.480 So now they're saying you can only have two beers a week.

00:15:30.480 That's it.

00:15:31.660 Now, as an alcoholic, I know the problems that I have with alcohol.

00:15:36.920 I also know the trouble that came with banning alcohol.

00:15:41.040 Now, they're not talking about banning alcohol, but may I remind you, they now control your health care.

00:15:49.320 They now can monitor everything you do, including what you buy.

00:15:54.080 Are you going to get health care when we need to when we need to ration it because we just don't have enough?

00:16:00.620 You're going to get health care if you had more than two drinks.

00:16:06.600 Florida Surgeon General came out yesterday.

00:16:08.880 He said they're starting to reimpose mask policies, mask policies that have been proven ineffective and restarting lockdowns that we know to cause harm.

00:16:22.540 You don't call this sanity.

00:16:24.820 These are terrible policies that only work with your cooperation.

00:16:28.780 How about refusing to participate?

00:16:30.760 Well, he is out on the edge.

00:16:34.320 He disagrees with the experts.

00:16:35.800 He's going against what the government experts tell us to do.

00:16:40.960 Well, the government experts also have made it critically important that you do one thing.

00:16:47.520 That if you're thinking about a new drug, you better outline all, all of the flaws in that drug and possible dangers on that drug.

00:16:59.320 I want you to hear this commercial you've heard a million times.

00:17:02.680 Oh.

00:17:03.100 Oh.

00:17:03.720 Oh.

00:17:04.060 People with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly Ozempic.

00:17:09.980 In a study with Ozempic, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an A1c of less than 7 and maintained it.

00:17:16.400 Oh.

00:17:16.960 Under 7.

00:17:17.760 And you may lose weight.

00:17:19.260 In the same one-year study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds.

00:17:22.220 Sounds great.

00:17:22.940 Oh.

00:17:23.400 Up to 12 pounds.

00:17:24.160 A two-year study showed that Ozempic does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death.

00:17:30.880 Oh.

00:17:31.120 Two years ago.

00:17:31.640 That would increase risk.

00:17:32.700 Ozempic should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

00:17:39.220 Do not share needles or pens.

00:17:40.960 Don't reuse needles.

00:17:41.940 Do not take Ozempic if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to Ozempic.

00:17:51.160 Stop taking Ozempic and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, itching, rash, or trouble breathing.

00:17:59.220 Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis.

00:18:02.340 Tell your doctor if you have diabetic retinopathy or vision changes.

00:18:06.040 Taking Ozempic with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase the risk for low blood sugar.

00:18:10.800 Common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation.

00:18:15.540 Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems.

00:18:19.840 I discovered the potential.

00:18:20.920 Stop.

00:18:21.500 That was a 55-second disclaimer.

00:18:26.100 55-second disclaimer.

00:18:28.700 And they want to shut you down for even questioning,

00:18:33.940 is this well tested?

00:18:37.380 Does this have any side effects?

00:18:39.440 They want you to shut your mouth and sit down.

00:18:43.080 I'd like them to live by their own rules before they come putting the rules on me and my family.

00:18:50.920 We go back to Maui in a second.

00:18:57.700 What have you been doing this summer to fight the heat?

00:20:08.140 So I go back to Maui now and JP Decker.

00:20:13.240 He's a Mercury one executive director.

00:20:16.700 He is there and JP there are now we're hearing maybe 1100 people that are still missing.

00:20:25.020 The FBI, I don't know why the FBI is doing this, but the FBI is releasing all of the names today.

00:20:32.440 And they have not told us how many children.

00:20:35.880 In fact, they say at some point they said no children were missing.

00:20:40.480 We know that's not true.

00:20:42.640 What is it like on the ground there?

00:20:45.340 Glenn, we haven't even been here 24 hours.

00:20:49.100 And the impact that we have already seen that this fire had on the city of Lahaina is devastating.

00:20:55.020 We heard a story yesterday about, you know, there was looting that was happening.

00:20:59.960 And I'm not saying looting is not happening.

00:21:01.680 But at the time, these were just parents trying to run in and find the bodies of their children.

00:21:07.760 This is America.

00:21:09.320 This should not have happened.

00:21:11.020 As in, they should be the ones that were holding in the palm of our hand saying, we can help you.

00:21:16.260 We're here to help you.

00:21:17.480 When New York, when COVID happened, we had medical ships off the coast of New York in no time.

00:21:22.820 And they served maybe just a little under 200 people.

00:21:25.640 There are no ships when you look out in the harbor.

00:21:28.540 No ships at all.

00:21:29.360 When we drove in, we drove in right above where Lahaina's at.

00:21:33.040 We could see the devastation.

00:21:34.300 And that road right along the coast is what every local would take in and out to go to Costco.

00:21:43.580 It's gone.

00:21:44.840 The museums are all gone.

00:21:47.180 The history is all gone.

00:21:48.860 The families that were impacted that saw their family members burning in cars.

00:21:53.700 We spoke to someone yesterday who their staff tried to rescue people out of cars.

00:21:58.920 But those people were too scared to get out of the cars, and they saw them burn alive in their cars.

00:22:03.960 Oh, my gosh.

00:22:05.260 It's just devastating to see that.

00:22:07.760 But just like you said earlier, what has happened?

00:22:12.240 I mean, the locals here, some of the strongest people I've ever met, they want their city to be rebuilt.

00:22:18.380 But nobody's here to help other than Mercury One.

00:22:21.040 Well, we are partnered with a lot of people, and Mercury One is one of the people that are there.

00:22:26.720 Thank you for the update, JP.

00:22:29.320 If you would like to help us help them, please just go to mercuryone.org.

00:22:34.660 That's mercuryone.org.

00:24:09.140 So I want to pick up a story that we spoke about on this program in 2022.

00:24:16.140 So last year, and it's a story about a member of parliament, and they quoted the Bible.

00:24:31.720 And that's their right to, quote, peacefully share her deeply held beliefs.

00:24:38.360 But she was charged with hatred.

00:24:42.040 And they are now in Europe doing everything they can to silence this person.

00:24:50.280 And this is not a radical.

00:24:53.280 This is just somebody who just decided to quote the Bible.

00:24:57.280 They already went through one trial.

00:24:59.820 And now they're trying her again because the first trial didn't work out.

00:25:04.140 I don't know how the laws work over there, but hopefully, well, I guess we have Donald Trump to prove maybe otherwise.

00:25:13.040 Hopefully this doesn't catch on here.

00:25:15.160 We have Kristen Wagner.

00:25:18.360 She's Alliance Defending Freedoms CEO and the president.

00:25:22.020 And she is helping to correct this problem.

00:25:26.840 Can you fill us in on the things that I'm missing here?

00:25:31.240 Sure.

00:25:31.860 Well, it's quite a story.

00:25:33.140 I think one that would shock most Americans.

00:25:35.120 Pai V. Rossman is a mother of five.

00:25:38.320 She's a Finnish member of parliament and has been for over 25 years.

00:25:41.940 She served as the chair of her party.

00:25:44.580 She's been the minister of the interior in Finland.

00:25:47.960 And she was just recently reelected to her post as an MP.

00:25:51.760 She's also a medical doctor and a pastor's wife.

00:25:55.340 So quite the combination.

00:25:57.900 But Pai V. has been involved in public life for over 25 years.

00:26:01.660 And when her church denomination in Finland said that they were going to be supporting and partnering on the gay pride parade,

00:26:10.640 she sent out a tweet in 2019 objecting to that and also including a Bible verse related to it.

00:26:18.980 As a result, the Finnish authorities launched a full bore investigation, a fishing expedition into all of her public statements in the past

00:26:27.340 and used those statements.

00:26:30.340 There were essentially three that just simply articulate her faith to charge her with three hate crimes,

00:26:35.680 which actually can include prison time, up to two years of prison time.

00:26:40.860 She won.

00:26:41.940 We were able to serve on the legal team, ADF International, and she won her trial.

00:26:48.540 But unlike in the United States, when you win a criminal trial in Finland, the prosecutor can appeal that.

00:26:54.960 And so she faces trial again next week at the Court of Appeals.

00:26:58.840 So how clear was it on the last win?

00:27:05.760 I mean, was it...

00:27:07.020 It was unanimous.

00:27:08.700 It doesn't get any clearer than a unanimous ruling.

00:27:12.780 And what do we know about this next group of judges or however the system works over there?

00:27:20.620 Well, the European Court of Human Rights is the ultimate court, but we're in the Finnish courts right now.

00:27:26.340 We're optimistic that she should win.

00:27:28.480 The law supports her.

00:27:31.460 The European Convention of Human Rights, which is essentially the law that governs European countries,

00:27:37.960 Article 9 and 10 guarantees the right of our ability to practice our faith and to speak freely as a fundamental human right.

00:27:45.720 And so the law is certainly on our side.

00:27:47.480 But we're seeing European countries pass these vague hate speech laws to try to trump those laws.

00:27:55.320 And then we see state governments try to use them and weaponize them when they have people saying things that they think oppose the state orthodoxy.

00:28:05.400 So are people, the people of Finland, with her, agnostic, against her?

00:28:12.360 The people are with her.

00:28:13.740 I mean, she was just re-elected this year.

00:28:15.840 Wow, during all of this.

00:28:18.860 Yes.

00:28:19.440 And Glenn, I would just emphasize for your readers, you know, many of the constitutions and governing documents around the world have protections in them for our right to practice our faith and to speak freely.

00:28:32.980 But they're not worth the paper they're written on if we have an apathetic citizenry.

00:28:37.640 Correct.

00:28:38.020 The words in our First Amendment, there are no magic words to that.

00:28:41.480 It's about the citizens' intent to require the government to adhere to those rights.

00:28:48.020 And if they don't, if we don't stand up and use the system that we were given, then we lose those rights.

00:28:56.600 If we just say, ah, that's what's so concerning to me about Donald Trump's arrest and arrest of all of these attorneys and everyone else for questioning.

00:29:06.980 And, you know, we'll look at all of the facts, but it appears as though it's the questioning of the election that is causing so much trouble.

00:29:18.280 And if it can't get you one way, we'll get you another way.

00:29:21.280 It is really becoming a dangerous trend, and I hope people begin to wake up.

00:29:28.280 Are people waking up at all in Finland on this?

00:29:32.920 I do think they are.

00:29:36.300 We're hopeful that they are.

00:29:37.760 The fact that it's going up to the Court of Appeals is concerning, and that the prosecutor even argued that Pivey shouldn't have a right to even really participate in her defense, that the Court of Appeals didn't need to hear from her was concerning.

00:29:51.100 I mean, the Bible was put on trial in this case.

00:29:54.240 The human right to freedom of religion is, you know, facing direct assault.

00:29:58.140 Even at the trial itself, as our attorney was there, was just stunned that the prosecutor opened by saying, this is not about the Bible, it's not about Christianity, and then began to read passages that the prosecutor disliked, questioned the defendants.

00:30:13.280 It's not just Pivey, it's also a bishop who is on trial who helped her publish a pamphlet in 2004 on the biblical meaning of marriage.

00:30:23.660 And even in that instance, she's questioning the bishop's theology and his hermeneutical approach to the Bible.

00:30:33.160 It's just stunning what they are getting away with.

00:30:36.360 And we're seeing, you know, other instances in Mexico, we are representing civil society leaders and former congressmen who have been convicted of essentially what's considered violence by speaking out against transgender ideology.

00:30:51.660 And we have been representing people in the U.K. who are silenced outside of abortion clinics because of a thought crime.

00:30:59.620 They can't even silently pray.

00:31:01.860 So, again, I would just say this trend at ADF, we're an international organization, so we're seeing a global censorship trend.

00:31:10.200 And the United States is not immune to it, although we did just win a phenomenal free speech victory in 303 created.

00:31:17.140 But we have to be vigilant.

00:31:18.420 ADFlegal.org is the web address, and we have been friends with this organization for a very long time.

00:31:30.840 They do the yeoman's work here in protecting the Constitution and all of our rights, especially those that we disagree with.

00:31:40.800 Not just the ones we agree with, but the ones we disagree with.

00:31:44.280 All people have a right to their self-expression, and the Bible being labeled hate speech is a little disturbing.

00:31:54.340 Should be a wake-up call.

00:31:55.780 Help them in this fight.

00:31:57.980 ADFlegal.org.

00:31:59.440 ADFlegal.org.

00:32:00.780 Thank you so much, Kirsten.

00:32:02.800 I appreciate it.

00:32:04.440 Well, thank you for all you're doing as well.

00:32:06.260 You bet.

00:32:06.760 Bye-bye.

00:32:07.040 You know, we are getting close to, I don't know what, but I pray that you will pray and fast and pray for peace in our country.

00:32:25.420 What happened yesterday with Donald Trump is just absolutely shocking.

00:32:32.060 Absolutely shocking.

00:32:35.180 And I just fear there are people on both sides of the aisle that don't have good intent.

00:32:47.420 You know, there are people that are truly working against the Constitution.

00:32:51.160 We know that on the left, but there are those people that are working on the right to do the same thing.

00:32:57.400 And most people, this is the one thing that I liked about Vivek, and I hope he's, if he's not the presidential candidate, I hope he becomes a vice presidential candidate.

00:33:07.120 I hope he has a very long career because he is speaking the words that Ronald Reagan spoke to the youth at the time, like me.

00:33:19.600 And that really helped me solidify my love for this country and its history.

00:33:26.460 That's what we need in this country.

00:33:29.920 Vivek is doing that right now because it's not just going to be us.

00:33:34.740 We have got to get the younger generation.

00:33:38.600 And there are people that are saying the Constitution is old, outdated, on the right, that it is time for, you know, maybe a dramatic change and change life in America forever.

00:33:52.880 And go back to, you know, pre-enlightenment kind of thinking.

00:33:58.580 And it is a little terrifying to see it.

00:34:01.480 But the youth will not be able to defend it.

00:34:06.520 If they don't have that love for America and they don't have that love for America.

00:34:11.540 We have to instill that in them.

00:34:17.000 Pray for the nation.

00:34:19.280 Because there are very powerful forces that are trying to stop freedom of speech, freedom of thought.

00:34:30.180 Get involved, please.

00:34:32.960 Back in a minute.

00:34:34.400 Land O'Lakes, Florida, Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

00:34:36.960 They are building a community down there.

00:34:39.380 It's called the Let Us Do Good Village.

00:34:43.980 It has about 100 homes for their program participants right now.

00:34:48.200 There are two families already moved in.

00:34:49.900 A Gold Star family and a family of a severely injured hero who will serve our nation.

00:34:54.580 And has served our nation.

00:34:56.640 This is a special place where families will be able to come together and heal after the loss of their loved one.

00:35:02.500 A firefighter, a police officer, a military member.

00:35:05.200 Somebody who has been tragically altered.

00:35:11.860 They build smart homes to help them manage.

00:35:15.040 And now a community where they can really grow and heal together.

00:35:22.080 Every mortgage-free home, the foundation, is making good on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices and the heroes that have made our country and our communities.

00:35:31.840 So donate $11 a month, will you?

00:35:33.640 To Tunnel to Towers.

00:35:34.860 Tunnel to Towers.

00:35:35.820 T, the number two T, dot org.

00:35:39.240 That's T, the number two T, dot org.

00:35:42.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:35:44.560 So, this is weird.

00:36:06.180 How many times have you been in a plane crash and everybody's head just was lopped off?

00:36:12.580 Right?

00:36:12.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:36:13.760 I mean, most times when I had four plane crashes last week and each time my head was lopped off.

00:36:18.940 That is weird.

00:36:19.960 That's usually what happens.

00:36:21.500 So, there was a crash of an airplane.

00:36:25.460 We don't know what happened, but it was carrying the guy who, remember, led the coup against Putin.

00:36:32.480 And then Putin was like, oh, let him go.

00:36:34.400 It's a vacation to Belarus.

00:36:36.220 No big deal.

00:36:36.860 No big deal.

00:36:37.700 Well, he was in an airplane.

00:36:39.320 Oh, this is a tragic story.

00:36:41.340 And it just stopped working or may have been blown up.

00:36:44.460 We don't, we're not sure.

00:36:45.520 Well, we know it didn't just stop working because they have the flight plans and it just went

00:36:49.420 straight down.

00:36:50.560 Ah.

00:36:50.900 Which is not usually what happens when a plane stops working.

00:36:53.320 Oh, okay.

00:36:53.720 People can still communicate.

00:36:54.740 They'd say, hey, we're going down.

00:36:55.880 I can't believe this.

00:36:56.680 None of that happened.

00:36:57.520 Just went straight down.

00:36:58.300 It was going in the air and then it went boink.

00:36:59.800 Now, there's video footage that was captured shortly after the crash and it's pretty devastating.

00:37:08.700 There are, this is an unnamed source that claimed that several of the bodies discovered lacked

00:37:15.120 heads.

00:37:17.000 And that's weird.

00:37:20.080 That is weird.

00:37:21.660 That's weird for multiple reasons, right?

00:37:23.320 Yeah.

00:37:24.040 Yeah.

00:37:24.620 One being that wouldn't necessarily feel like the type of thing that would happen.

00:37:29.060 No.

00:37:29.440 Let's say you had an explosion on board.

00:37:30.900 Everyone lost their heads.

00:37:32.140 Yeah.

00:37:32.400 On the other hand, though, I don't exactly know what the accusation is.

00:37:36.820 Like, so they, there's 10 people on this plane, I think.

00:37:40.460 One of them decapitated the others.

00:37:42.980 They loaded them all on, decapitated, but then the pilot sacrificed themselves in the crash.

00:37:47.140 Like, I don't know what, what, I don't know.

00:37:49.040 I don't know either.

00:37:49.820 I don't know.

00:37:50.520 And now there's even speculations that maybe that guy wasn't even on the plane.

00:37:55.180 Yeah.

00:37:55.660 That he may have been taken and is, you know, in some comfortable abode with Putin or being

00:38:03.940 tortured.

00:38:04.600 Yeah.

00:38:05.440 Well, no, he's in the comfort and care of Putin.

00:38:08.640 Yeah.

00:38:09.240 Because there was also an accusation of maybe they erased this guy.

00:38:12.460 They, they knew he had, this had to happen for Putin to hold his, his power.

00:38:17.420 But they've just, this is his way of going into a quiet retirement somewhere.

00:38:22.020 Now, I don't buy that.

00:38:23.100 I think he was just assassinated.

00:38:24.660 Yeah.

00:38:24.900 That's what I think.

00:38:25.880 But why, why, I mean, why try to make it look like anything else?

00:38:31.320 Everybody just assumes that's what it is.

00:38:33.640 Yeah.

00:38:34.100 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:38:35.480 I think everybody, you know, that's probably what it's kind of his MO.

00:38:38.520 Right.

00:38:38.680 But, you know, I guess the other, it's hard to, on a plane crash, it's hard to say like

00:38:43.300 there was some plot they were doing because that means whoever the pilot was probably had

00:38:47.240 to sacrifice themselves from, you know, for whatever stunt this was, which it would be

00:38:53.260 strange.

00:38:53.600 I mean, I think my guess is the easiest explanation is true, which is when this happened, when he

00:38:59.480 decided to march on, on, on Moscow, that sealed his fate where he was going to be dead very

00:39:05.340 soon.

00:39:05.860 They gave him, they let him go to Belarus.

00:39:07.820 They tried to make it, you know, seem like, oh, well, this is over and we'll just let him

00:39:10.980 go.

00:39:11.220 But nobody believed that.

00:39:13.000 No one.

00:39:13.540 And they knew eventually there would be a time where he would pay the price for what

00:39:17.560 he did.

00:39:18.160 And that's what Vladimir Putin does.

00:39:19.940 He's done it to an incredible amount of opponents and journalists and other politicians.

00:39:24.880 It's either in an elevator shaft off the roof of a high apartment building or planes.

00:39:29.360 He has something.

00:39:30.380 Or poison.

00:39:30.940 Yeah.

00:39:31.300 Yeah.

00:39:31.500 Or poison.

00:39:32.320 He does seem to love the, you're falling for a long time to think about what you just

00:39:36.860 did.

00:39:37.120 He does.

00:39:38.000 It's a preference.

00:39:39.160 Yeah.

00:39:39.380 He seems to like that.

00:39:40.560 Everyone's got their fetish, Glenn.

00:39:41.800 And this might be Vladdy's, but I will say it is a, an incredibly, has there ever been

00:39:49.180 a more expected end to a story?

00:39:52.160 No, it's like, I mean, this movie was going nowhere.

00:39:55.280 We all knew how it was going to end.

00:39:56.980 Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. 0.92

00:39:58.740 Oh, there it is.

00:39:59.580 I did think though, at some point in the future, there is going to be an incredible Vladimir

00:40:04.220 Putin movie of all the crap this guy has pulled over the years.

00:40:07.860 Oh yeah.

00:40:08.160 I mean, he really is, uh, you know, he's, he, he is, he's a somewhat unique figure in

00:40:15.080 the, in the developed world, right?

00:40:17.040 Like you have people in like North Korea who do stuff like this, but like, we seem like

00:40:21.480 we were past the time where this sort of stuff happened in like.

00:40:24.880 No, he's a mob.

00:40:25.800 He's a mob guy.

00:40:26.640 Yeah.

00:40:27.020 Yeah.

00:40:27.620 That's weird.

00:40:28.360 Cause.

00:40:30.540 Wow.

00:40:32.020 Didn't the Biden family get a bunch of money from the mob over in Russia?

00:40:36.240 I think surprised we went there.

00:40:38.080 Yeah.

00:40:38.820 There's a least, uh, least surprising end to a story.

00:40:42.120 All right.

00:40:47.420 We're going to talk about what happened yesterday, uh, with, uh, the president, uh, president

00:40:53.600 Trump.

00:40:54.360 He is going to be joining us and he'll tell us his views on Tuesday on this, uh, broadcast.

00:41:01.160 So you don't want to miss that, but we're going to go into it tomorrow.

00:41:04.700 Something I've, I've never seen before.

00:41:06.440 Nobody has ever seen this before.

00:41:09.500 Back in a minute.

00:41:14.880 The Glenn Beck program.

00:41:16.500 Stone and I are big fans of, uh, the concept that things that we buy should be made here

00:41:20.560 in America and that we need to support those people who are doing that.

00:41:23.500 One group of people that are doing that is grip six.

00:41:25.780 Yeah.

00:41:26.160 We always talk about these companies like, you know, Bud Light and like how, like they

00:41:29.960 don't seem to like our country and what it stands for, or maybe, you know, these companies

00:41:35.000 are doing this all the time.

00:41:35.840 And you realize that there actually are companies in America that don't hate your guts.

00:41:40.060 They don't despise you and everything you stand for.

00:41:42.480 And they make quality products, products that are better than the other companies.

00:41:45.460 And they have a harder time because they won't play ball.

00:41:48.920 Yeah.

00:41:49.220 And, uh, we've got to support these companies.

00:41:51.320 So if you're looking for socks, you're looking for a belt, you're looking for a wallet.

00:42:07.740 you'd be like tilted over.

00:42:31.860 We got no room to compromise.

00:42:50.200 We got to stand together.

00:42:52.000 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:12.540 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:20.480 Hello, America.

00:43:21.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:23.340 Um, it was a dark day and a huge day in history.

00:43:28.560 Never before has a president been booked.

00:43:33.460 Never before has he been fingerprinted or, uh, you know, had to have a mugshot taken, but

00:43:39.980 it happened yesterday.

00:43:41.040 Why is all of this happening?

00:43:44.420 What are they actually saying?

00:43:47.000 Well, you can tell this is political just by the number of people they are rounding up

00:43:53.060 and trying to scare off.

00:43:55.100 Uh, Trump is not going to be scared off, but this is game changing in America.

00:44:03.280 Uh, we begin there in 60 seconds when we, as a nation, wake up, fully wake up to the evil

00:44:11.220 that is all around us.

00:44:12.340 Maybe things will change, but we can just fight the good fight today.

00:44:21.600 Abortion is evil.

00:44:23.420 We know it.

00:44:24.200 Um, there's a, um, there's an amazing study out today that shows that the, um, the left

00:44:31.480 keeps saying abortion, you know, late term abortion, um, you know, is, is just as bad 0.80

00:44:38.100 as guns, just as bad as, as, as, uh, or sorry, worse than, worse than guns.

00:44:43.240 And, and, uh, we, we're not, you know, it's so rare that those things happen.

00:44:47.940 Well, is it, is it guns are worse, they say, than late term abortions because late term 0.99

00:44:56.300 abortions don't happen. 1.00

00:44:58.420 They say about 1% of all abortions are late term abortions.

00:45:03.480 That means we kill more children in one weekend with abortions than we do in a month with guns. 1.00

00:45:12.580 But they want you to believe that it's just very, very rare.

00:45:15.960 It's not, it's the difference between, uh, Chicago and your town.

00:45:23.400 A woman, when she comes in to a pregnancy center, she has an unwanted pregnancy.

00:45:28.680 She usually wants to make the right choice, but she feels she doesn't have that choice

00:45:32.880 for a myriad of reasons, some of which is because people all around her are saying,

00:45:36.880 you know, yeah, you don't need this.

00:45:38.600 This will be a hassle or no, you're not having that baby.

00:45:41.260 The thing that changes women is support around them after the birth as well, and an ultrasound. 1.00

00:45:50.520 And those ultrasounds are $28.

00:45:52.960 If you would like to save babies, moms change their mind twice as much and they pick life 1.00

00:46:00.160 once they've seen that ultrasound.

00:46:01.980 Those ultrasounds are $28.

00:46:04.200 Would you buy one?

00:46:05.360 Would you buy 10?

00:46:07.360 What can you do to help us save lives?

00:46:21.820 Sponsored by Preborn.

00:46:22.900 So I'm just looking at this story and, you know, just like we found out when they were

00:46:30.480 going after Donald Trump and they were saying Donald Trump needs to be impeached because

00:46:37.120 he had an inappropriate phone call with Ukraine.

00:46:40.360 We knew because we had done our homework here that no, what they're accusing him of, they

00:46:47.000 were doing.

00:46:47.600 And now that is coming out.

00:46:51.040 We know now that there wasn't, it was a Hillary Clinton campaign that did the Russiagate. 0.68

00:46:58.560 Then it was the fear of Biden being exposed that they went after Donald Trump.

00:47:06.060 Now it's because of election interference and trying to change the, uh, the will of the

00:47:17.020 people and stay in power.

00:47:18.640 That's what they're charging him with.

00:47:21.180 They're charging him with a conspiracy to overturn a lawful election.

00:47:27.400 Well, I think this is happening because a, they are just have unbridled hatred for this

00:47:33.960 man.

00:47:34.200 They want him destroyed on a, on another level.

00:47:38.340 They want to split America apart.

00:47:40.620 They are trying to balkanize us and make sure that we hate each other and there's no way

00:47:45.840 we'll ever talk to each other.

00:47:47.500 So that's another reason for doing it.

00:47:50.280 Um, but I really truly believe because we exposed the democratic plan run by, oh, I can

00:47:59.120 see his face.

00:48:00.500 He was, uh, with Hillary Clinton for a while, uh, anyway, I'll, I'll look it up and we'll

00:48:07.180 share it with you.

00:48:08.420 Um, we did a special or two right before the election on what the Democrats had done by

00:48:16.680 bringing in a think tank and thinking through what happens if Trump wins, what happens if

00:48:25.860 it's close, what happens if we win, uh, and the half of it was all about the chaos they

00:48:36.080 would cause on the streets, uh, what they would do to put Trump if it was close in a position

00:48:43.160 to where he had to deal.

00:48:45.840 Otherwise they would get California and what was it?

00:48:49.320 Oregon and said, those need to be broken up into four States.

00:48:53.320 And we want Washington DC as a state.

00:48:56.220 Otherwise the chaos would continue.

00:48:58.540 All of this is written down and it is with big, big names that were openly involved in

00:49:05.080 this.

00:49:05.420 I pointed it out.

00:49:08.060 Everybody said, but you notice all of the burning down of cities stopped after the election.

00:49:18.180 You notice that it just all went away in this documentation.

00:49:25.760 It alludes to the fact that they have the players on the ground to cause the chaos.

00:49:31.000 Um, so what are they doing?

00:49:35.220 They're persecuting a man for not doing what they were doing, but actually standing up and

00:49:45.640 saying, wait a minute, this isn't right.

00:49:48.000 There's something wrong here and questioning.

00:49:50.440 Now his attorneys made questionable claims, et cetera, et cetera.

00:49:54.900 Um, however, he's now been indicted and charged him and other associates, his, his attorneys,

00:50:04.000 Rudy Giuliani, uh, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Sidney Powell.

00:50:09.060 They're all being charged with, uh, criminal intent and conspiracy to overthrow the election.

00:50:18.800 Really?

00:50:19.400 Never seen that before in my life.

00:50:25.420 That's not what happened.

00:50:28.500 Now they also added to that list, Mark Meadows and saying that Mark Meadows asking a colleague

00:50:40.860 for a phone number for an official in, uh, Pennsylvania is an overt action in furtherance of a conspiracy.

00:50:51.720 So Mark Meadows is also being indicted and in jail or would, would have to go to jail.

00:51:00.960 I mean, when does this stop?

00:51:03.240 When does this become clear to the American people?

00:51:07.140 What exactly is going on here?

00:51:09.620 By the way, the DA, Fannie Willis, her campaign director has locked Twitter after her anti-Trump

00:51:18.460 posts were, uh, exposed.

00:51:21.620 She, uh, has made many anti-Trump posts.

00:51:25.800 She has an affiliation, a direct affiliation with the Biden campaign.

00:51:29.260 Um, I mean, is it possible that there is a political iron?

00:51:36.920 Oh, by the way, something else, um, I don't, I don't know if this is a problem, but she's

00:51:44.020 now been hit with a congressional, uh, investigation over the indictment because, um, four days before

00:51:53.080 the indictment, the Willis, uh, campaign launched a new fundraising website that highlighted her

00:52:00.200 investigation into Trump.

00:52:02.320 You don't do that if you're neutral.

00:52:04.300 Uh, the infamous forewoman of the special grand jury that Willis convened who bragged 1.00

00:52:10.580 about subpoenaing Trump, the allegedly accidental release of the document by Fulton County clerk

00:52:17.600 showing the forthcoming criminal charges against Trump hours before the jury even finalized

00:52:23.120 it.

00:52:23.300 Uh, a judge disqualified Willis from targeting Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones in her 0.98

00:52:31.120 investigation and Fulton County officials announced they will process Trump at the local jail just

00:52:37.000 like any other criminal, including forcing him to take a mugshot and post a bond.

00:52:41.860 So Jordan is raising concerns and saying, there's a congressional investigation coming your way.

00:52:49.420 And I say, thank you.

00:52:53.660 We are never going to ever save our country.

00:52:57.660 If we have these mamby pamby, wishy washy Republicans who will not use the power of their own office.

00:53:06.860 They are in line and they should be in line in defense of our constitution and bill of rights.

00:53:14.500 If Donald Trump and anybody else broke laws, then yes, they should go to jail or pay the punishment.

00:53:23.120 However, if there's any political nonsense revolving around this, those people that are doing the

00:53:31.580 prosecution should go to jail.

00:53:33.680 We can't be a country that is swinging back and forth.

00:53:42.480 We have to have one law for everyone.

00:53:53.960 The former director of black voices for Trump, his name is Harrison Floyd.

00:53:59.060 He was the first of the 19 Fulton County defendants to be held in jail without a bond.

00:54:06.360 He's 39 years old.

00:54:08.540 He showed up for jail yesterday.

00:54:12.980 Fannie Willis gave Donald Trump and the other 18 co-conspirators in her election interference case 0.60

00:54:20.340 until noon on Friday to show up.

00:54:23.220 By the way, have you ever seen a case like this on election interference ever?

00:54:31.900 I mean, we all know that electioneering is happening.

00:54:36.360 We all know that, you know, there's it's dirty in many places.

00:54:40.960 It's dirty, dirty.

00:54:43.000 Absolutely, absolutely in Chicago, absolutely in New York.

00:54:47.780 It's dirty where you have nasty, dirty bosses that are running everything. 1.00

00:54:55.380 And it wouldn't necessarily be any different for the Republicans if they were in charge of

00:54:59.960 those cities.

00:55:01.220 It's human nature.

00:55:02.400 But out of all of the things that you've seen in your entire life, have you ever seen

00:55:09.560 19 people at this level, including Rudy Giuliani, the president of the United States,

00:55:21.860 his attorneys, a former member of Congress,

00:55:27.520 the White House chief of staff, have you ever seen anything like it?

00:55:38.500 Most of these people can't afford the the trial, let alone the bond.

00:55:45.220 He wasn't able to negotiate.

00:55:46.940 The guy was just telling you about the black voices for Trump.

00:55:52.040 He wasn't able to afford and they wouldn't let him negotiate.

00:55:55.180 So he's in jail.

00:55:56.280 He's in jail.

00:55:58.920 A hundred thousand dollar bond.

00:56:01.340 The affidavit of him said that he body slammed an agent who arrived at his Rockville,

00:56:08.120 Rockville, Maryland home to subpoena him to appear before a federal grand jury in Washington,

00:56:13.680 D.C.

00:56:14.860 So he's going to jail.

00:56:19.240 Because he stood, according to the report, stood chest to chest with an agent after knocking him backward with his body.

00:56:32.580 He's that's a conspiracy charge and furthering the conspiracy.

00:56:36.260 The mugshot that is out now could be the greatest fundraiser for any presidential candidate ever.

00:56:50.760 And certainly greatest legal fund fundraiser of all time.

00:56:59.500 If Donald Trump would sell those T-shirts, posters, etc., etc.

00:57:03.840 He could raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the legal defense.

00:57:08.000 And he should.

00:57:09.820 And he should.

00:57:11.420 All of these people, unless I'm missing something, if they did something wrong, fine.

00:57:17.740 If they were questioning what was happening, which that, as it's called the second perfect phone call, that's the way I read that.

00:57:28.460 If that's what they have.

00:57:30.100 If these people should not even be, the people that have just done this to them, clearly need to be investigated and go to jail.

00:57:43.480 If they broke a law and broke severe laws that this is a reasonable punishment for, then they should pay the punishment.

00:57:51.900 But you don't have a situation where very many attorneys are willing to fight for these people because they are next on the hit list.

00:58:02.420 If you can start going after their attorneys.

00:58:06.180 You lose the ability to get a good attorney to defend you.

00:58:10.600 And that's not by happenstance.

00:58:13.240 That's not like, oh, gee, I didn't think of that one, Joan.

00:58:16.140 They know that.

00:58:17.540 He should make T-shirts for his legal defense fund.

00:58:23.860 Because I think people, I mean, first of all, that T-shirt will sell on both sides.

00:58:28.340 They are make, I know they're selling the T-shirts now.

00:58:30.940 It's just, I don't know yet where the money goes.

00:58:33.620 It's, you know, it's always difficult to tell in these political situations.

00:58:36.760 Sometimes they say, hey, this is going to the campaign and it's going to legal defense.

00:58:40.060 You never know with the stuff, but it should go to legal defense.

00:58:42.560 And honestly, like stepping back from that, the man's a multi-billionaire.

00:58:45.840 Like, I don't, this is a minimal expense for his own personal freedom.

00:58:51.200 Making sure that people who are also co-conspirators in a racketeering case do not feel comfortable in this time.

00:59:01.360 You should be making them happy.

00:59:03.640 Make it, make their lives wonderful.

00:59:06.320 As wonderful as it can be.

00:59:07.880 You've got plenty of money to do this.

00:59:09.660 Like, you know, there's a million stories out there and no one's fighting, pushing back against them at all.

00:59:16.240 That Rudy Giuliani hasn't even been paid for his work in this era.

00:59:19.980 Back in 2020, when he was doing all of this stuff, he hasn't even been paid for much of this, the legal work that he did in this period.

00:59:28.820 Let alone being paid for his actual, you know, getting his legal expenses covered.

00:59:34.280 Now, Trump has now decided to at least go to fundraisers for Giuliani.

00:59:38.580 But like, again, I understand why you don't want to spend your own money.

00:59:42.260 Right?

00:59:42.400 I get it.

00:59:43.020 But like, the man's been one of the most successful business people in America for 50 years.

00:59:48.220 Like, if you've got $8 billion, now's the time to spend it.

00:59:53.560 Yeah.

00:59:53.800 Just from a perspective of personal freedom and personal preservation.

00:59:58.000 You know, it's going to be really hard to win the presidency if you're behind bars.

01:00:02.200 And I really hope that doesn't happen because God only knows what happens to this country if it does.

01:00:07.720 But like, this is the time to spend your money.

01:00:11.080 Make sure that these people are, have the best defense possible.

01:00:15.820 So, there are two people that I trust in Washington.

01:00:19.060 I trust Chip Roy.

01:00:20.520 I think he's an honest man.

01:00:22.340 And I really trust Mike Lee.

01:00:26.540 Both of them tweeted out yesterday, I stand with Mark Meadows.

01:00:31.500 Chip Roy said he's a friend and a good man.

01:00:33.860 He did nothing but serve his country.

01:00:35.720 And for doing so, he is facing a clearly political persecution.

01:00:39.540 He is ever faithful.

01:00:41.160 But we should support his defense costs more to follow.

01:00:44.200 Georgia should end this attack on justice. 0.82

01:00:47.480 I hope that Congress starts to use their purse strings to go after the DOJ and investigate, investigate, investigate, and stop this madness.

01:01:02.900 If you're waking up every day frustrated that you're going to have to face yet another day hurting, pain is your body's way of letting you know that something is wrong.

01:01:11.020 And most of the time, what it's trying to tell you is that you have inflammation in your joints.

01:01:16.580 Inflammation in our body is the worst thing.

01:01:19.620 You can find ways to mask the pain, but that doesn't work out all that well in a long time.

01:01:24.300 Sometimes the stuff you take to mask it can leave you feeling spaced out, depressed, or it just is masking something that shouldn't be masked.

01:01:34.300 The other option is you can fight it.

01:01:37.020 The masking problem that I have with drugs, pharmaceuticals, is it doesn't make the pain go away.

01:01:44.980 It just makes you care less.

01:01:46.420 You're like, I still am in pain, but I don't really care anymore.

01:01:49.880 I don't want to live my life that way.

01:01:51.860 Try the three-week quick start.

01:01:53.240 It's $19.95.

01:01:54.460 It's a trial pack.

01:02:15.920 10 seconds.

01:02:16.460 Station ID.

01:02:23.240 You know, I saw that mugshot yesterday.

01:02:32.200 It really bothered me when I saw the mugshot of all the attorneys.

01:02:39.120 That really, really bothered me.

01:02:42.100 That's a weird, and look, attorneys can commit crimes. 0.67

01:02:45.660 Sometimes they do go to prison, but it is weird.

01:02:48.000 It is a strange invasion into something that we all sort of take for granted, right?

01:02:55.020 Like, you should be able to talk to your lawyers about kind of pretty much anything unless it's a really overt crime, and you should be able to suggest things that you think that are terrible ideas, right?

01:03:05.620 Like, you should be able to say, like, what if we do this?

01:03:07.780 And even if it's a terrible idea, you should be able to have a conversation with your attorney about it, and that's kind of fundamental to those conversations.

01:03:15.700 You throw stuff around.

01:03:17.500 You don't always do it.

01:03:19.020 And they've used this conspiracy.

01:03:21.620 I mean, you want to talk about conspiracy theorists.

01:03:23.460 They're using the word conspiracy to make it so much worse.

01:03:28.900 Asking Mark Meadows, hey, Mark, will you get a phone number for me?

01:03:34.060 Get the number of the legislator, the head legislator in Pennsylvania.

01:03:38.460 Okay.

01:03:39.320 Hey, do you have that phone number?

01:03:41.440 Can I get that phone number?

01:03:43.220 That is, that's all he did.

01:03:45.580 That was a conspiracy.

01:03:48.160 Uh, and a furtherance of the conspiracy and showed that he was involved in it.

01:03:54.560 That's insanity.

01:03:56.140 That's insanity.

01:03:57.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:06.840 Oh, yeah.

01:04:07.640 He's just trying to get people to turn on him.

01:04:09.100 Yeah.

01:04:09.440 Yeah.

01:04:10.240 You know, it's really hard to save face at the gun range if you can't, you know, hit the broad side of a barn with your firearm.

01:04:15.940 I know from personal experience, when I first started shooting, not really a good shot.

01:04:21.040 It's not something that everybody is born with.

01:04:22.880 My son is a really good shot and he's kind of like born with it.

01:04:26.180 Um, but it is a skill that you really have to work on.

01:04:29.400 Even he has to work on it.

01:04:31.240 Um, and when you're firing at a firing range, you are spending so much money and ammunition.

01:05:31.440 So let me show you the difference between communism, fascism, and capitalism.

01:05:44.020 In communism, you do what the state says because you don't own anything.

01:05:51.220 The state owns everything.

01:05:53.580 And then they tell you what to do, where to live, what to, what to eat, where to work.

01:05:59.900 And if you're a good little party member, you get perks, you get all the way up to special lanes on the streets.

01:06:09.000 Now, most people don't even get a car, but if you have a car and you're somebody special, you get a special lane for you to drive that car in.

01:06:20.960 Okay.

01:06:21.520 That's communism.

01:06:22.640 State owns everything.

01:06:24.140 And when that happens, they can take everything away or give you whatever they want at the time.

01:06:33.380 Fascism.

01:06:34.820 The state does not own everything.

01:06:38.780 The state allows private people to do what private people do.

01:06:44.620 They build a company or they buy a house or whatever.

01:06:48.080 However, you don't really run your company in a fascistic government because the fascists, the ones who are in the government with all the experts, they need to control the economy.

01:07:05.560 They need to control everything.

01:07:07.240 And so they have to either reward or punish.

01:07:11.940 If you do it the way the government wants you to do it, you'll get rewarded.

01:07:16.940 If you don't, you get punished.

01:07:19.460 In capitalism, the law remains a referee, a referee that says, let me look at both of these things blindly, was one of these guys breaking the law and doing something they shouldn't be doing for unfair advantages.

01:07:44.740 Capitalism allows you to succeed or fail based on your input, your merit, your ideas.

01:07:56.180 It's the only one that does that.

01:07:59.160 Everything else is regulated.

01:08:02.960 And it just depends on how much regulation and if you get any of the rewards at all if you don't agree with the government.

01:08:10.440 Now, tell me which system this is.

01:08:16.580 Elon Musk's SpaceX was hit with a lawsuit from the Department of Justice on Thursday for allegedly refusing to hire refugees and those granted asylum.

01:08:28.540 In a press release, the DOJ accused the spacecraft technology company of discriminating against asylees and refugees in hiring.

01:08:40.440 From at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them because of their citizenship status in a violation of Immigration and Nationality Act, according to the DOJ.

01:08:58.900 They are going after SpaceX like nobody's business.

01:09:04.580 Now, do you think that's because they're the only ones doing this?

01:09:13.320 They thought, you know, if we only hire, you know, people with citizenship, we have some unfair advantage?

01:09:22.380 Or are they doing it because I don't want to get involved in anything?

01:09:28.720 We're a target.

01:09:30.180 I don't want any.

01:09:31.320 I don't want anybody with questionable status.

01:09:33.420 And the next question you have to answer is.

01:09:39.900 Is the DOJ going after all of the people who are doing this?

01:09:44.080 Are they going after the companies that are hiring illegals? 0.99

01:09:48.780 See, they're saying here that these are those that were granted asylum.

01:09:55.460 I don't know how many were granted asylum yet.

01:09:57.740 I know they were given a court date.

01:10:00.440 But how many have been granted the asylum that they sought?

01:10:04.340 They might have a piece of paper that says, I'm going to court for asylum.

01:10:07.380 But that doesn't make you an asylee.

01:10:09.760 Is the DOJ being fair and blind?

01:10:17.340 Are they applying the law equally?

01:10:19.500 No, they are punishing Elon Musk for not doing it their way.

01:10:26.140 Now, I'm not sure Elon Musk is going to end up in the in the history books as, you know, a great defender of freedom and the Constitution.

01:10:35.680 But so far, he's one of our better friends.

01:10:44.840 And do you think the government likes that?

01:10:47.800 Did you see where Trump posted the first picture of his being booked?

01:10:57.160 X, otherwise known as Twitter.

01:10:59.760 It is the first time he's used Twitter.

01:11:03.060 Yeah.

01:11:03.200 It was weird, too, because if you look at his posts, it's this one where he's the mugshot.

01:11:08.260 And the previous posts are January 6th, 7th, and 8th of 2021.

01:11:12.540 And then he got banned by the previous administration over at Twitter.

01:11:16.280 But it's weird to see that.

01:11:17.760 I mean, like, you know, he's got a speech up there from January 7th, I think, which feels like a totally different era.

01:11:25.440 It was, you know, not that long ago.

01:11:26.880 It was.

01:11:27.720 It was a different era.

01:11:29.260 Yeah.

01:11:29.360 We have changed so fast time, you cannot judge time anymore because things are moving too fast.

01:11:39.120 So you can't mark it as fast as it's happening, I think.

01:11:43.120 Because everything is, you know, on September or on January 6th, 7th, I mean, with us, it was earlier than that.

01:11:51.280 But on 6th, 7th, 8th, for several weeks, all of us were like, these guys, this was a national nightmare.

01:11:59.380 And these guys should go to jail.

01:12:01.900 I want a fair trial, but I want all of them in jail.

01:12:04.940 And now, because there's new information, it seems as though we're softening.

01:12:11.740 I still want those people to go to jail who committed a crime knowingly.

01:12:18.980 Yeah.

01:12:19.520 Oh, yeah.

01:12:19.940 And that is exactly what Trump says in the speech.

01:12:22.240 He says, you know, you've defiled the Capitol.

01:12:24.960 Anyone who went in there and committed violent acts or defiled the Capitol should be punished.

01:12:30.600 We will be coming.

01:12:31.560 Justice will come for you.

01:12:33.220 I mean, he was really clear about, you know, people who really broke the law.

01:12:37.100 Now, that doesn't mean every grandma that was within 100 miles of the Capitol should be thrown in the gulags.

01:12:41.920 No.

01:12:42.100 And that might involve some FBI or undercover police as well.

01:12:46.340 You know, another part of this, Glenn, if we have this quick sidebar, we're talking about the, you know, all of these things that are coming down on Trump.

01:12:53.260 And one of the biggest things they say they have on them is this fake electors scam.

01:12:56.780 You see this, they say this all the time, fake electors scam, fake electors scam.

01:12:59.540 One of the people in Georgia who is on the co-conspirator list is Kenneth Chesborough or Cheeseborough.

01:13:06.920 I've heard it both ways.

01:13:07.600 I'm not sure which one it is.

01:13:08.980 One of the lawyers.

01:13:10.260 And so he's the one that wrote the, what they call the, basically a smoking gun, fake electors memo.

01:13:16.120 And I don't think anyone's read it, right?

01:13:19.720 You've maybe seen quotes from it, but let me just give you one little section here.

01:13:22.580 And to go into their mindset at this time, because I believe what everything that was done after December 14th, which is Safe Harbor Day, was illegal.

01:13:33.220 Okay.

01:13:34.440 The campaign sort of knew it was illegal too.

01:13:36.960 They believed the law that cut it off at December 14th was unconstitutional.

01:13:41.980 They wanted to challenge it, right?

01:13:44.880 That was their legal theory supporting doing all of this.

01:13:47.620 Here's what they write in the memo.

01:13:49.620 On January 6th, in a solemn and constitutionally defensible manner, consistent with clear indications that this is what the framers of the Constitution intended and expected and consistent with precedent for the first 70 years of our nation's history, Vice President Pence, presiding over the joint session, takes the position that it is his constitutional power and duty alone as president of the Senate to both open and count the votes and that anything in the Electoral Count Act to the contrary is unconstitutional.

01:14:15.980 Okay.

01:14:16.280 So he's saying the Electoral Count Act we think is wrong and we don't think that's the way it's supposed to be.

01:14:20.560 We're going to challenge that in court.

01:14:21.580 Again, is this a good legal theory?

01:14:23.400 I don't think it is.

01:14:24.020 I don't think he's right on this, but he even says he doesn't think he's necessarily right on this.

01:14:28.120 I'm not necessarily advising this course of action.

01:14:30.420 And the Vice President need not make a decision how to proceed until January 6th.

01:14:34.680 And obviously, there are many factors that will come to bear on how he proceeds, assuming this race has not been conceded before January 6th.

01:14:41.020 This is the biggest point on the fake electors thing that I think people aren't looking at.

01:14:46.440 My point here is that it is important that the alternate states of electors meet and vote on December 14th if we are to create a scenario in which Biden can be prevented from reaching 270 electoral votes.

01:14:58.620 Even if Trump has not managed by then to obtain the court decisions or state legislative resolutions, invalidating enough results to push Biden below 270.

01:15:07.800 So what he's saying here is because the law says by December 14th, these have to be in place.

01:15:12.860 Even if we win our legislative battles after December 14th, we still can't win.

01:15:17.680 Because if you don't have those electors in place before December 14th, we can't do anything about it, even if we are able to overturn these elections later on in normal legislative challenges.

01:15:30.820 It is making sure the door is not kicked closed.

01:15:34.940 Right.

01:15:35.240 And look, I don't, to be clear, don't buy these arguments.

01:15:39.040 I don't think January 6th was set up that way.

01:15:41.320 I don't think that's the way that the founders designed this system.

01:15:44.920 However, this is not a, it's improper to call it a fake electors scam.

01:15:50.740 Because it's not.

01:15:51.400 It's not.

01:15:51.880 They're saying like, we have, if this goes through and we win our cases, we have to have these people ready to go.

01:15:59.740 And if it's not before December 14th, they'll be ruled illegal and we'll lose anyway.

01:16:03.660 So we have to do something before December 14th.

01:16:05.780 That is his argument here.

01:16:06.900 You may disagree with it, but that's not trying to scam Congress and saying, hey, these people are actually the people who are there.

01:16:13.560 They're trying to come up with some legal backing to what they're attempting to do, right or wrong.

01:16:18.500 And that is a totally, that is much more a, if anything, a bad legal argument or a questionable legal argument.

01:16:24.540 But is that a crime?

01:16:26.340 They're trying, it's spelled out quite clearly.

01:16:29.660 And again, it starts with in a solemn and constitutionally defensible manner.

01:16:33.460 Like they're not, it's not a, there may be cases where they really cross lines, especially lower levels.

01:16:39.240 It seems like other states there were, where they signed pieces of paper that said, we were inside the Capitol doing this and we weren't.

01:16:45.260 Like things like that, I think are probably blatantly illegal.

01:16:48.440 You may find some of that.

01:16:49.740 Signing in the Capitol and I wasn't in the Capitol is, it probably deserves a fine.

01:16:55.460 Right, exactly.

01:16:56.040 Not a prison sentence.

01:16:57.060 Exactly, probably.

01:16:57.980 But if you're saying you're an elector and you weren't, you can say, like there's things that they may find on this.

01:17:04.080 I'm not saying, but like you have to look at their thinking at the time.

01:17:07.640 And this was released as the smoking gun saying that, well, they were doing this.

01:17:10.840 They were doing the fake electors thing.

01:17:12.100 Well, you can, if you read the context there, you see exactly what they're doing.

01:17:16.160 He knows that the line is December 14th.

01:17:17.840 I don't agree with his legal theories, but like you could see that this is what lawyers do.

01:17:22.400 So if you were on the left and you were prepared to go to any length, as we have exposed on this program two years or three years ago, the lengths that they were willing to go and they war gamed everything, literally war gamed all of it.

01:17:40.300 And you see that the other side is going to try to use one of the tactics that you had.

01:17:53.000 Do you really think it would be all that hard for them then to use the the dark tools of a of a of the deep state?

01:18:06.040 To say all we have to do just just do but wear Trump hats, just do what we were going to do for us just but make it look like them.

01:18:20.280 I mean, they were willing to do what they did on January 6th, what they say the right did.

01:18:27.560 What what's the difference if they just changed team jerseys?

01:18:31.800 I've never met a I've never met a constitutionalist.

01:18:36.140 I've never met a conservative that wears black and climbs on each other's shoulders to break all of the windows in our capital.

01:18:44.920 That is just I've never met those people.

01:18:46.620 I'm not saying they don't exist, but I've never met them.

01:18:49.320 I've never met them.

01:18:50.560 I've I've seen on TV.

01:18:52.420 I've seen in my own neighborhoods.

01:18:54.080 I've seen in my own city people like that on the left.

01:18:57.280 I've seen that plenty, plenty.

01:19:00.340 And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, this happens on the right.

01:19:09.140 And then they won't give us any videotape.

01:19:11.800 They won't go after the people who are truly the ringleaders.

01:19:15.520 They won't even they won't even put their picture up and say we need to find this person.

01:19:19.240 It's not even FBI most wanted person.

01:19:22.520 It's clear what is happening here or what may be happening here.

01:19:27.540 But, you know, there's you don't have an election.

01:19:33.800 You just don't have an election, a fair election.

01:19:36.020 If you can get away with orchestrating it through the press.

01:19:43.160 Hiding things from the voting public through the press.

01:19:48.580 Discrediting things through your deep state.

01:19:51.720 And then just doing all the regular, you know, crap that you usually do to swing the vote.

01:20:02.180 Just the Joe Biden thing studies show it would have changed the vote by I think it was 10 percent, 10 or 12 percent.

01:20:09.000 You're talking about the Hunter thing, the Hunter Biden thing.

01:20:10.880 Yeah, that's what some polls have showed.

01:20:12.220 Yeah.

01:20:12.680 Between five.

01:20:13.520 Had you know that's election interference.

01:20:15.580 And so is this back in a minute.

01:20:21.460 Parallel economy is about two things, value and values.

01:20:24.840 I want to do business with people and companies that bring both of these things to the table.

01:20:29.800 One of the best I know is Good Ranchers.

01:20:32.360 They're already a company that sources beef, chicken, seafood, pork 100 percent from American farms and ranches.

01:20:39.620 Why is that so important?

01:20:40.900 Because they are trying to put these people out of business.

01:20:45.680 And we have got to help our farmers and our ranchers if we want to eat.

01:20:51.640 Now, extra value.

01:20:53.680 Try this on for size.

01:20:54.800 When you subscribe to any of their monthly meat boxes, you're going to get two years of free ground beef.

01:21:00.700 That's 144 meals that you don't have to pay for.

01:21:03.420 And the extra values as well.

01:21:05.680 They spend their own money to provide 10 meals per box that you order for Americans in need.

01:21:12.720 That means they give out 240 meals over the course of your subscription.

01:21:17.120 That's the spirit of the parallel economy.

01:21:19.000 That's the spirit of America.

01:21:20.780 Get great meat.

01:21:22.040 A great price.

01:21:23.480 Lock it in for two years.

01:21:26.760 Inflationary times, that could be the difference of having meat and not having meat.

01:22:42.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:22:46.060 I've invited somebody on the program to share a story with you that I think is wildly inspirational.

01:22:57.600 It starts with a guy who amassed a massive, massive audience.

01:23:05.080 He was touring his audiences.

01:23:07.640 It became known as the Yi Yi Nation.

01:23:09.500 He had 10 studio albums, one live album, two EPs.

01:23:14.860 He's charted over eight singles on the Billboard charts and had the number one song, Back Road song.

01:23:23.600 All of that is behind him as of tomorrow.

01:23:28.680 Something happened to Granger Smith.

01:23:31.960 And if you don't know the story, you're going to want to hear it.

01:23:35.520 He's also the author of a book called Like a River, which is the story he's going to share with us here in a second.

01:23:44.100 It charted number one everywhere, except for the New York Times.

01:23:47.960 Isn't that strange?

01:23:50.020 And maybe that's because it's a story of God and miracles.

01:23:56.020 It's a fascinating story.

01:23:59.400 We begin in 60 seconds.

01:24:01.540 A good driver anticipates many things.

01:24:04.720 And, you know, a good driver is looking at all the possibilities of what can go wrong.

01:24:08.600 They're a tent to all of that.

01:24:11.740 They are prepared for them.

01:24:13.060 Also, a true sign of a good driver, good owner, is to be prepared in case something goes wrong with your car.

01:24:21.080 And when you consider how expensive cars are becoming, you need to do the repairs on them.

01:24:26.780 You need to keep them healthy.

01:24:27.920 But, man, some of those repairs can be just bloodletting when you get up to pay the bill.

01:24:33.920 I want you to enroll with CarShield, or at least find out if this is right for you.

01:25:24.880 Granger, what an honor to have you on the program, sir.

01:25:28.760 Thank you, Glenn.

01:25:29.660 Thanks for having me.

01:25:30.480 You bet.

01:25:30.840 So, if you can, let's start with, for anybody who's not a country fan, tell me what your life was like just a few years ago.

01:25:42.600 Living my dream.

01:25:45.620 A dream that I've had for a quarter of a century.

01:25:50.240 Trying to play my music, play my songs, travel around, meet new people, run songs up charts, put out music videos.

01:26:00.240 And we were doing it at a very high level and just felt like everything was right for me.

01:26:06.300 Everything I ever wanted.

01:26:07.200 And then, one night, June 4th, you are, you know, being with your family one last evening.

01:26:16.800 You're spending it with your kids.

01:26:18.420 You're headed to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards.

01:26:22.160 Your daughter, London, is doing gymnastics.

01:26:25.220 You're helping her.

01:26:26.700 And what happens?

01:26:27.620 Yeah, I remember my daughter was doing a handstand in the yard and she was having me spot her and I was kind of holding her ankles and the boys were playing water gun fight, two boys.

01:26:40.140 And I just remember thinking, what a beautiful evening.

01:26:44.100 Green grass under my feet.

01:26:46.340 June, early June is beautiful in the state of Texas.

01:26:49.140 And I just thought, soak in this moment because it won't last forever.

01:26:52.800 And I was thinking in terms of, the kids are going to grow up, they're going to go to college, and these days will be behind me.

01:27:00.520 But it was quiet in that moment.

01:27:02.740 I thought, where's River?

01:27:04.180 He's our three-year-old boy.

01:27:06.760 And I remember looking around and I just thought, I don't know where he is.

01:27:12.460 And that's not good when you have a three-year-old, but we had a gated, locked pool.

01:27:18.320 And I looked and I saw him in the pool, face down.

01:27:22.720 And it just, it didn't seem like it was reality.

01:27:25.260 It felt like, this is a dream.

01:27:27.680 I'm in shock.

01:27:28.480 How could this be?

01:27:29.500 And I crashed into the pool and grabbed his little body.

01:27:34.000 And I was expecting him to be coughing and nervous and scared.

01:27:38.420 And I was going to say, buddy, what are you doing?

01:27:40.300 How did you get in this gate?

01:27:41.500 You know you're never supposed to get around here.

01:27:43.780 But that's not what happened.

01:27:45.320 He was lifeless and cold.

01:27:48.320 I, this is, we've had a friend who this has happened to.

01:27:53.800 And they're good people and they love their children and they're attentive.

01:27:57.740 And it happened in a blink of an eye.

01:28:01.500 Pools scare the hell out of me.

01:28:05.280 Because when you have little kids, it happens and you're right there.

01:28:10.640 And it happens that fast.

01:28:13.000 You had to have just beaten yourself up.

01:28:20.720 I mean, I've, I've thought of this with my, with, you know, my friend's tragedy.

01:28:25.100 I thought if my wife were watching the kids, I would know that she was doing the best.

01:28:32.420 But I don't know if I were watching the kids and it happened that my wife would not blame me for the rest of my life.

01:28:39.700 You know what I mean?

01:28:40.360 It's, it's so hard.

01:28:41.840 The games this must play in your head.

01:28:44.560 That's exactly right.

01:28:47.420 I've played those games over and over.

01:28:49.200 But by the grace of God, my wife, not ever, not once did she ever even let it slip to say, how dare you? 0.91

01:29:01.220 What have you done to our baby?

01:29:03.320 And she could have easily done it.

01:29:05.100 And, and I, and she probably would have been right because I was the responsible adult that day.

01:29:10.060 And although it happened, like you said, in a blink of an eye, and I was just paces away, she could have easily have blamed me.

01:29:18.200 She didn't.

01:29:19.520 And I don't know where I would be if she had, if she had planted that seed within me of guilt.

01:29:25.780 It was already, it was already hard enough.

01:29:28.260 With the own, my own tricks, my mind was playing on me and the gymnastics that I was doing in my head of, you're guilty.

01:29:36.180 You failed in the one thing that a father is supposed to do, and that's keep them alive till they're 18.

01:29:41.180 And so that's, that's what was going on with me.

01:29:44.020 So you, where do you go from there?

01:29:48.040 I mean, how long did this, I mean, I know it's still with you, but how long did this just oppress you?

01:29:55.220 Well, it took me several months of trying everything I could.

01:30:02.200 I, I was a big self-helper at the time.

01:30:05.200 That stuff still kind of resonates with me.

01:30:07.680 So I was leaning into waking up early and reading more nonfiction and trying to meditate and visualize and, and read my devotionals.

01:30:18.020 And, and, and I was progressively getting worse instead of better.

01:30:21.320 I thought, how can this, this is supposed to help me and nothing was helping me.

01:30:25.840 I was, I was trying everything.

01:30:27.980 I was exercising.

01:30:29.020 I was trying to sleep right, trying to eat right.

01:30:31.440 Anything to stop the slideshow from happening in my head.

01:30:35.500 And I say that in terms of the, the memories that were just kept repeating over and over of what I could have done.

01:30:42.040 Like my mind was in a loop trying to find, trying to close the loop and it couldn't.

01:30:46.940 And I was going insane.

01:30:49.160 This was several months, probably six or seven months, um, before just absolute rock bottom hit me.

01:30:56.100 And that, what was that?

01:30:59.660 That was a night and I called in the book, I called it the darkest night of the soul.

01:31:04.540 And I was in Boise, Idaho.

01:31:06.100 So, and there were times, and there are times in grief when you could start feeling better.

01:31:12.820 Sometimes you feel guilty that you feel better, but you say, you know what, today I kind of feel normal.

01:31:18.160 And that was a day for me in December in 2019.

01:31:22.040 And we were in Boise, Idaho playing a show and, and I was with the boys and the crowd was great.

01:31:27.900 And I just thought, you know what, this is the first time I've felt normal in a while.

01:31:32.260 And the band said, Hey, we're going to go and have a few drinks at this little obscure bar.

01:31:38.720 Let's just go reminisce some old times.

01:31:40.960 So I went with them.

01:31:41.880 I said, absolutely.

01:31:42.760 That sounds to be a great idea.

01:31:44.620 Went and had some drinks.

01:31:46.200 And as I was walking back out of the bar that night, I thought, huh, I'm a little tipsy.

01:31:51.880 I don't think I've, I don't think I've been tipsy since the accident happened.

01:31:57.740 And so then, then my mind started panicking and starting to prepare myself,

01:32:02.260 trying to engage the things that I had learned in therapy that maybe could shut down the slideshow.

01:32:08.840 But by the time I got back to the bus, I just, I started going into a panic thinking,

01:32:14.700 how am I going to suppress all of these terrible thoughts while I'm inebriated?

01:32:19.680 It's not going to work.

01:32:20.640 And so I just remember full opening up the drawer and just, I pulled out my pistol.

01:32:26.420 That's always there.

01:32:27.100 And I thought, this is the way, this is the way to finally end the slideshow, to finally find rest.

01:32:34.240 And this was a voice that was not my own encouraging me with this moment.

01:32:40.980 But gosh, hang on, hang on, hang on just a sec.

01:32:45.720 We got to take a quick one minute break and then we'll come back to the story.

01:32:48.560 But it's amazing how easy it is for darkness to slip in.

01:32:56.140 You know, I had an alcoholic friend tell me when I first admitted that I was an alcoholic.

01:33:01.680 He said, when you least expect it, expect it.

01:33:05.720 And what he meant by that is exactly your story.

01:33:09.860 You're feeling good.

01:33:11.420 You think you're fine.

01:33:12.680 You let your guard down just a little bit and it floods back in and it can kill you.

01:33:20.660 And so now we're at the lowest part of the story.

01:33:25.260 Let's get to the good side in 60 seconds. 0.97

01:33:31.440 I want to talk to you about selling and buying houses.

01:33:35.340 It is really difficult.

01:33:37.340 I'm not good at it.

01:33:38.800 I don't, I trust too many people and, you know, I, what do you think?

01:33:44.740 And I, I just, I don't know how to interview people.

01:33:48.580 I don't like giving people, believe it, believe it or not, I hate conflict and I hate giving

01:33:55.080 people bad news or saying, you know, I'm not really happy with your service.

01:33:58.580 I hate that.

01:33:59.300 I hate it.

01:34:00.820 And so I've, I've, I've really not had good real estate agents and good experiences.

01:34:05.220 But that's because mainly I didn't know what, how to even find a good real estate agent.

01:34:09.900 What do you do?

01:34:10.720 You get it on the, you know, on the side of the bus.

01:34:13.160 Hey, that looks like a good real estate agent there.

01:34:16.440 How do you know?

01:34:17.400 Well, by doing commercials and meeting real estate agents over the last 20 years, I worked

01:34:24.600 with a 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the wall street journal.

01:34:28.880 And I got to know them and I asked them what makes a good real estate agent.

01:34:34.260 And there, there are actual things that the good ones know.

01:34:39.120 And we look for those business practices so we can then pass their names on to you.

01:34:45.380 So if you're looking for a real estate agent, we've done a lot of the work.

01:34:49.400 It just needs you just to look at them and talk to them and find out if they're right

01:34:54.120 for you.

01:34:54.740 But we think these are real estate agents you can trust, which is why we call it real

01:34:59.040 estate agents.

01:34:59.940 I trust.com go there.

01:35:01.920 Now, real estate agents.

01:35:03.340 So a lot of people would get to this point and then it ends in one of two ways.

01:35:24.840 Usually, um, they put their life back together or they don't, but putting your life back

01:35:30.300 together, you put it together completely differently.

01:35:33.920 So let's start now.

01:35:35.400 You're looking at the gun.

01:35:36.800 What happens?

01:35:37.700 Yeah, I would say I might make a third category.

01:35:42.020 I didn't put my life back together.

01:35:43.740 My life came back together, but it wasn't my own doing.

01:35:46.640 Right.

01:35:46.940 Yeah.

01:35:47.260 I was insinuating that, that there is a third way and I've never heard it before, but you're

01:35:52.740 going to show us a third way.

01:35:54.120 Yeah.

01:35:55.240 Yes.

01:35:55.720 So I was, uh, in that moment, I had a Glock nine millimeter.

01:36:00.440 I know that Glock very well.

01:36:01.880 It has a double trigger on it.

01:36:03.700 No safety.

01:36:04.280 And so I know exactly where the pressure point is on that.

01:36:07.880 Even in my inebriated state, I could feel as I applied pressure.

01:36:12.580 Okay.

01:36:12.780 This is, this is it.

01:36:13.920 This is the point of no return in this moment here.

01:36:17.140 And it seemed like 30 minutes.

01:36:19.400 It was probably five seconds of holding it there.

01:36:22.760 And I thought about my two older kids, Lincoln and London, they came to my mind and I just saw

01:36:30.240 their faces and I saw my life and their life.

01:36:34.220 And, and in that moment, I was crying and I just said, Jesus, save me.

01:36:39.860 My God, Jesus, save me.

01:36:42.900 And in that moment, the slideshow stopped.

01:36:46.120 All the visions stopped.

01:36:48.700 And I dropped the gun onto the bed and I fell down to my knees and I ended up sleeping on

01:36:53.780 the floor and on my bus that night and all my show clothes.

01:36:57.880 And I was a cultural Christian.

01:37:00.860 I know that now it was a heritage.

01:37:03.160 It was something I grew up with.

01:37:04.820 I knew the name of Jesus.

01:37:06.600 I knew what he did on the cross, but I don't think I ever believed it.

01:37:10.920 In fact, I know I didn't because I didn't trust in him first.

01:37:14.180 I trusted in the self-help books and every other thing I tried.

01:37:17.480 But it, this sent me on a new journey of, okay, if this name is powerful enough to stop

01:37:24.640 the slideshow, to stop me in my darkest night in Boise, Idaho, then who is this?

01:37:30.980 What is this faith?

01:37:33.160 So I sent, I went out on a journey, searching, reading, listening to sermons of what happened

01:37:40.360 to me that night, how I was saved that night supernaturally.

01:37:44.180 And it ended up, I ended up hearing a sermon in my truck one day.

01:37:48.320 This was March 1st, 2020, a couple months after that event.

01:37:52.840 And the pastor was speaking out of John 14 and he said, the disciple asked Jesus, Lord,

01:37:58.660 why is it you manifest yourself to us and not to the rest of the world?

01:38:03.280 And Jesus answered him, if anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my father will love

01:38:10.900 him and we will come to him and make our home with him.

01:38:15.440 And then suddenly I thought, I knew it all right.

01:38:18.860 Then I knew I was saved.

01:38:20.680 I was loved.

01:38:21.800 I was redeemed and restored.

01:38:23.960 I was healed.

01:38:25.220 But in return, in the overflow of that gratitude, I was doing nothing.

01:38:30.820 And Jesus said right here, if you love me, keep my word.

01:38:34.080 That's how I know you love me.

01:38:35.560 And I thought, what's his word?

01:38:37.460 I don't know it.

01:38:38.040 I don't know any of it.

01:38:39.360 So that started where I am today, just absorbing his word, reading it, cherishing it.

01:38:46.460 I went home.

01:38:47.060 I got rid of all the devotionals and the self-held books.

01:38:49.460 And I said, here we go.

01:38:50.660 It's the Bible.

01:38:51.440 This is what saved me.

01:38:53.140 And if I'm going to love him, I'm going to keep his word.

01:38:55.980 I'm going to know it all.

01:38:58.320 And that changed, absolutely changed the trajectory of my entire life.

01:39:02.140 So it is, again, in the typical story, it would stop pretty much there.

01:39:09.540 Okay.

01:39:10.420 He got his life back.

01:39:12.240 He found the Lord.

01:39:13.580 And he's now going out.

01:39:15.960 And he's bigger than ever before.

01:39:18.700 Tomorrow is the last performance on stage by Granger Smith, known as a country music singer.

01:39:29.040 Where are you headed?

01:39:33.840 Well, as this unfolded, and I went back into country music, like you said, and I continued to live my life the way that it used to be,

01:39:42.660 as now a redeemed, healed man.

01:39:46.500 And I started meeting people, and they would say, I'm hurting.

01:39:49.820 I lost my wife or my grandmother or my child or my job or my dream.

01:39:56.580 I need your help.

01:39:57.660 Can you help me?

01:39:59.080 And I began to think more and more, I don't have time to sing country music.

01:40:03.720 There's not any time for that.

01:40:05.540 I need to be able to speak further.

01:40:07.620 I need to be able to have more time with these people.

01:40:09.520 And then I started feeling like, you know what, getting on the stage and just exalting myself and building up my name and having people glorify me,

01:40:18.520 I'm not reconciling that with what Jesus says in the Bible about, if anyone would follow me, let him take up his cross, deny himself.

01:40:26.680 You know, I can't reconcile that.

01:40:28.640 And so that has eventually led to what is tomorrow, the last show as a country touring musician,

01:40:36.580 and I'll be moving into more of a ministry role, writing more books, Lord willing, serving in our local church, and getting out and speaking.

01:40:46.820 Because you went back to school.

01:40:50.080 And finishing up in seminary.

01:40:52.480 That's correct.

01:40:54.340 This is just such an awesome, awesome story.

01:40:58.640 You can see now why it wasn't, you know, it was on best-selling lists everywhere.

01:41:06.500 The only one that it didn't happen is the New York Times.

01:41:10.180 And they're becoming much more blatant about all of this.

01:41:13.600 You're about the fourth person this year that I've talked to whose book is number one everywhere.

01:41:19.460 Except for the New York Times, it doesn't even make the list.

01:41:22.280 It's pretty amazing.

01:41:22.980 I just wish you all of the luck in the world.

01:41:29.940 I wish you all of the blessings.

01:41:31.680 You know, it's amazing.

01:41:33.660 I don't have your story, but, you know, I have a story of my own.

01:41:41.600 And I almost feel bad for those people that don't need the redemption, don't need that moment.

01:41:49.280 Because when you get that moment, it is such a miracle that it just shakes you to the core.

01:41:57.440 And I guess over time you could forget it.

01:42:00.340 It's easier over time to forget it.

01:42:03.000 But I came to the same exact conclusion.

01:42:07.020 He did this, so all he's asking me is to just obey him.

01:42:16.060 Okay.

01:42:16.680 Yeah.

01:42:17.240 You know?

01:42:17.820 I mean, that's a pretty good deal when you are that low.

01:42:21.220 It's a great deal.

01:42:22.060 Yeah.

01:42:22.980 It's a great deal considering that night in Boise.

01:42:26.080 It's a great deal.

01:42:26.880 And that's what I want to tell everybody else about.

01:42:28.560 Well, I just want to just read this before you hang up.

01:42:35.020 This is from the book.

01:42:37.720 I think it's actually on the cover or, you know, the back page of the book.

01:42:41.340 Like a river, life is full of twists and turns.

01:42:44.480 Like a river, people pollute our world with their critique and criticism.

01:42:48.600 Like a river, tragic events keep us damned up.

01:42:52.000 But like a river, we can find the courage to keep moving downstream.

01:42:56.120 Rivers don't run on their own strength.

01:42:58.700 They flow from their source.

01:43:00.840 When we try to keep going on our own, we won't make it.

01:43:04.060 But when we connect to the greater source, we'll find the strength and the faith to keep living after loss.

01:43:10.800 This triumphant story of new life birthed out of death is like a river.

01:43:17.180 And it is available wherever you get your books.

01:43:21.000 And Billy Bob's, I think, tomorrow, right in Fort Worth.

01:43:24.540 That's right.

01:43:25.420 That's right.

01:43:25.920 All the best.

01:43:28.700 And you might see a few of us in the crowd tomorrow, Granger.

01:43:31.880 Thank you.

01:43:32.500 God bless.

01:43:33.460 Thank you, brother.

01:43:34.300 You bet.

01:43:34.580 God bless.

01:43:34.900 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:43:37.680 What an amazing story.

01:43:39.820 Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC.

01:43:42.340 None of the other potential economic catastrophes looming on the horizon has convinced you that we're in trouble.

01:43:52.320 CBDC will do it.

01:43:54.340 This is the rise of the central bank digital currency.

01:43:58.800 And it changes absolutely everything and takes all control and ownership of everything from you.

01:44:08.300 The world is on a knife's edge.

01:44:12.360 So, what gets us off of that?

01:44:15.540 What is stability?

01:44:16.640 What's something that we can use even as a balance bar?

01:44:20.200 May I suggest it's gold or silver?

01:44:22.800 It may be the thing that saves you in the end and saves your money and saves what you've built for yourself.

01:44:31.660 Please, I want you to find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:44:35.640 Call Goldline at 866-GOLDLINE.

01:44:37.920 They have a special going on.

01:44:39.940 When you buy a tube 50 coins of the 1 tenth ounce American Eagle gold coins,

01:44:44.500 they'll throw in 10 of the 1 ounce American Eagle silver coins for free.

01:44:49.340 It's happening this week right now.

01:44:51.180 Goldline, 866-GOLDLINE.

01:44:53.300 And blazetv.com slash Glenn.

01:44:55.120 The promo code is Glenn to save 10 bucks off Blaze TV.

01:44:57.660 We'll be right back.

01:45:27.660 We have to decide who we are and, you know, do we pick ourselves up or do we wallow?

01:45:35.740 For those who have already picked themselves up or have been picked up,

01:45:44.920 you know who you owe that to.

01:45:50.140 And as Granger said and we discussed, when you have had that kind of miracle in your life

01:46:00.460 and you realize that you're only being asked to obey and be more like him

01:46:10.000 and to help others do that, you know that's what you're supposed to do.

01:46:16.400 And he said in the interview, I didn't have time for country music anymore.

01:46:23.200 And I fear I'm a very bad example of the gratitude that I should be showing

01:46:32.260 because we're supposed to, we're commanded to knit our hearts together in unity

01:46:40.800 and in love toward one another.

01:46:46.280 And, and that's, that's hard to do, especially in this business.

01:46:51.740 And I often wonder if, um, if there's a better way to do what I, what I do,

01:47:03.020 but then somebody comes along like Granger and tells a story like that on the air

01:47:10.100 and makes it so incredibly clear.

01:47:15.660 One of the things that we are doing as a people is we lack gratitude.

01:47:26.220 We lack that moment that he had in the backyard when all of his kids were playing in the backyard

01:47:35.560 where he said, wow, what a perfect day.

01:47:41.200 We all have that moment, but that's not life.

01:47:46.780 I mean, those come and go.

01:47:49.300 Uh, life mainly is getting up in the morning, doing what you're supposed to do,

01:47:54.340 you know, and doing the drudgery of life in many ways,

01:47:58.740 and then going to bed and then getting up and doing it again.

01:48:01.600 It's those, those moments in between that make it so magical.

01:48:09.080 And if you are kicked down and you don't find your way up,

01:48:15.640 it's really impossible to do anything,

01:48:21.760 but what we're doing to each other now and do what we,

01:48:26.760 um, and just live in anger and, and rage.

01:48:31.880 And you might think you have a good reason for it.

01:48:39.040 I've told you, and I've, I've, I've spoken briefly on this,

01:48:44.020 but in the last two years, we've had a suicide in our family and we had,

01:48:52.220 uh, a close brush with another one and, uh, two other attempts and not the same family member.

01:49:03.240 And Tanya and I have had the worst couple of years and it doesn't seem to be getting easier.

01:49:14.040 Things just change and they morph and it is easy to get tired and kicked down and just like,

01:49:21.060 I don't want anything to do with it.

01:49:23.080 And I, I mean, what are we doing when we were in a session, uh, with one of the counselors for

01:49:35.100 one of my kids that were, had just attempted.

01:49:39.400 Uh, he talked to us before he talked to my child and, uh, he said, what is the,

01:49:50.760 what's the worst thing that could happen?

01:49:52.600 And Tanya and I look at him like, are you out of your mind?

01:49:55.180 What do you mean?

01:49:55.600 What's the worst thing?

01:49:56.800 They kill themselves.

01:49:59.840 That's the worst thing that could happen.

01:50:02.760 Right?

01:50:03.260 So that is the worst that your child takes their own life.

01:50:07.700 And we're looking at, I'm almost getting hostile with him.

01:50:11.100 And I'm like, uh, yeah, that's the worst.

01:50:14.560 He said, um, they know that you have to be okay with that.

01:50:22.400 Otherwise you won't be able to help.

01:50:24.960 And excuse me, what do you mean?

01:50:27.600 I have to be okay with that.

01:50:29.380 You have to let them know that it is true in your head.

01:50:35.560 It's true that life will go on and you will be okay.

01:50:44.180 If they don't, if they think that you fear it, they control.

01:50:49.700 So he, um, I said, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't really know how to get, uh, you know, in, in, you know, in love with this, uh, possibility.

01:51:01.520 And, um, he said, well, let me take you here.

01:51:06.560 Let's go through it.

01:51:08.160 You're now sitting and I'm the coroner.

01:51:11.100 And I'm telling you that your son or daughter has just killed themselves.

01:51:17.760 What happens?

01:51:19.840 And we were just beyond words.

01:51:22.040 We couldn't see how this was going to be good, but it is in the end.

01:51:25.080 It's very good.

01:51:25.880 Um, we've started talking about it and I said, we'd probably, you know, you know, grieve for a very long time.

01:51:35.460 I don't know how we would get past that and all of the self doubt and everything else.

01:51:41.720 I don't know how I would live with one of my children taking their lives.

01:51:46.300 I mean, I live for my children and my wife lives for our children and, uh, it, I just, I can't imagine going on.

01:51:54.480 And he said, right.

01:51:56.960 So would you go on?

01:51:59.560 What would you actually do?

01:52:03.140 And I said, probably knowing us in the end, we'd probably, Tanya and I would probably write a book about suicide.

01:52:12.940 I would probably dedicate my life to anti-suicide stuff.

01:52:17.900 I would probably go out and speak and my wife would do the same. 0.97

01:52:23.940 And we would try to stop this from happening to others.

01:52:28.640 And he said, so in a way you can find the good that could come from this.

01:52:37.380 Jeez.

01:52:37.900 And I said, well, yeah.

01:52:41.240 And he said, I'm not asking you to be happy about it.

01:52:43.440 I just want you to know that you just vocalized that you will eventually be okay-ish.

01:52:51.900 The wound will never heal, but you will find a positive thing to do with it.

01:52:57.040 You just vocalized that.

01:52:59.600 So now let them know.

01:53:02.400 I will tell you, it made a huge difference in this individual's life, our family member, and ours, because we had confronted it.

01:53:19.280 Our society right now is teaching us that if you're down, it's someone else's fault.

01:53:29.620 And there's no way out unless you use your grievance as a weapon.

01:53:37.200 That just leads to more despair.

01:53:41.320 What is happening, you know, about eight years ago, I said, I use the word evil too much.

01:53:48.080 Because evil is an actual thing.

01:53:50.580 And, you know, not everybody is evil and not everybody who disagrees or, you know, wants to have, you know, whatever, vote for Joe Biden.

01:53:58.140 They're not evil.

01:53:59.220 They're mistaken.

01:54:00.600 They're not evil.

01:54:01.340 But evil does exist.

01:54:05.220 And I swear that word off, and I'm like, I'm not going to talk about evil and things as evil, etc.

01:54:13.400 But what I have witnessed over the last four years gives me a testimony as much about God as it does evil.

01:54:21.300 There is a force that is alive in the whole world.

01:54:27.240 It's not just here.

01:54:29.280 And it is, it's driving people insane.

01:54:32.940 They are losing their grip on reality.

01:54:37.300 And they are becoming more and more dangerous and angry.

01:54:43.020 And that makes the other side more dangerous and more angry.

01:54:47.800 If you've had something bad in your life, find the way to make it into a positive.

01:55:03.040 Find, stop complaining just for a second.

01:55:07.200 I'm not saying that your issue isn't real.

01:55:09.820 I'm saying, just take a moment and say, if it's in the past, where am I now that I wouldn't have been had that not happened?

01:55:22.440 Is there any positive there?

01:55:23.920 How can I take this thing and give it and get rid of it having the power, but giving the result the power?

01:55:35.260 So it propels me and others, and I become more of a beacon in the world.

01:55:46.620 Fear.

01:55:51.220 Unreasonable self-doubt.

01:55:54.960 Not recognizing your spiritual nature.

01:56:00.720 We are not humans having a spiritual encounter.

01:56:08.100 We are spirits having a human encounter.

01:56:12.580 When you switch those two around, you know who you truly are.

01:56:18.100 And you know the difference between temporary and permanent.

01:56:22.620 I just want to leave you on this Friday, just with this thought, with everything that is happening in the world.

01:56:34.960 And this, for me, has been a really tough week.

01:56:38.700 A really, really, really tough week.

01:56:42.120 And I just want to leave you with, but it's all good.

01:56:48.120 Everything that will happen to us will all be for our good and our children's good if we don't go dark inside because of it.

01:57:00.100 Imagine the good that would happen if Donald Trump or his supporters that are right there at the jailhouse.

01:57:09.980 Imagine if they all would have knelt down in prayer and had a vigil last night.

01:57:17.960 Imagine the message that that would send.

01:57:21.520 You go from somebody who is trying to overthrow the government to a group of people who are peacefully praying for the people who are so misguided that are trying to put him in jail.

01:57:31.940 Imagine if Donald Trump went to jail, but then uttered the words of Martin Luther King or Gandhi and sent the message to his supporters.

01:57:46.180 We are people of peace.

01:57:49.160 And they cannot put these ideas in a cage.

01:57:53.140 They can't.

01:57:53.780 These are the opportunities we need to look for.

01:57:59.480 The opportunity to change the world will come disguised as something horrible in your or our lives.

01:58:10.140 Be on the lookout for that horrible thing.

01:58:16.840 Because it will be the thing that saves us in the end.

01:58:19.480 Man's best friend comes with his own set of health needs.

01:58:24.580 It isn't enough just to throw some dry kibble into a bowl.

01:58:27.980 Your dog needs the nutrients and the kind of stuff that gets cooked out of the kibble.

01:58:33.000 I started giving Uno rough greens a couple of years ago.

01:58:36.300 You know, our dogs.

01:58:39.060 We're much more healthy when they were just being fed the scraps on the table.

01:58:43.960 Because that's that's the way people used to feed their dogs.

01:58:46.440 You know, I mean, back in depression days and everything, you just scoop whatever you had left over and that's what they would have.

01:58:53.620 The dog food that is kibble food is made to last on a shelf for over two years.

01:58:58.500 Do you want to eat that every day?

01:58:59.760 Do you think that's healthy?

01:59:01.740 I don't think so.

01:59:02.580 In fact, I know it's not.

01:59:03.600 You want the greens, right?

01:59:05.140 You need the things that are healthy.

01:59:07.040 That's what rough greens does to kibble food. 1.00

01:59:09.440 You sprinkle it on top and it gives them all of the things that are needed, including the things that are alive, like probiotics.

01:59:16.840 I want you to call 833-GLEN-33, 833-GLEN-33, and they're going to give you the first trial bag of rough greens for free.

01:59:24.460 You just pay for shipping.

01:59:25.820 Call 833-G-L-E-N-N-33, 833-GLEN-33, or roughgreens.com slash back.

01:59:34.440 Glenn Beck.

01:59:35.120 Stu and I, if you don't mind me sharing a little bit of what we were just talking about here, Stu.

01:59:56.940 Stu and I just had a really remarkable conversation on, you know, if things happen, you know, that are so bad, how do you just get the strength to just carry on?

02:00:10.760 And, you know, it's just, you know, you get beat up all the time, too.

02:00:17.680 So you know it, and you're like, where do I find the strength?

02:00:20.100 I will tell you, Stu just said this, and I have said this to so many people over this last summer.

02:00:27.520 We just love you.

02:00:29.480 You are heroes to us.

02:00:31.280 When you see what you have done in Afghanistan, just in Maui, I think we're up to 1.6 million.

02:00:40.540 I mean, that's just a few hundred thousand dollars away from what the U.S. government is doing.

02:00:47.520 When you see what has happened with hurricanes and disasters, and even I see it in the chat rooms, you know, from Blaze subscribers, and they support one another.

02:00:59.500 They care about one another.

02:01:00.700 It's really remarkable.

02:01:04.460 It's really remarkable.

02:01:06.140 I know you, as an audience, has made me a better man.

02:01:12.240 I want to be better because of you.

02:01:16.120 And I'd be greatly diminished without your friendship.

02:01:20.680 And I know that's weird because we don't know each other, but I always feel like when we meet, we do.

02:01:25.320 Yeah, I've been coming back a lot to just everything that, you know, this group of people has accomplished, you know, over the past couple decades.

02:01:34.140 And a lot of times it pushes me through these, like, times where, you know, the world does get a little depressing from time to time.

02:01:40.340 I don't know if people have noticed that.

02:01:42.120 And, like, it's hard to believe that you can get through it.

02:01:48.020 And then you think of all the things that just this one audience of this one show has accomplished.

02:01:52.500 And it does make it feel like it's worth it.

02:01:54.320 It's worth coming in and doing this every day.

02:01:55.880 It's worth getting up every day.

02:01:57.300 It's a microcosm of the best of America that we want.

02:02:00.680 Not to say that, you know, our audience doesn't also have its problems.

02:02:04.280 I'm sure it does.

02:02:05.140 We're all people.

02:02:06.060 But there is something about this group of people that of what they've done.

02:02:11.640 And I just want you to know, thank you for the hope you give us every day.
