00:06:39.160If you watch Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino took this and wrote this into a massive monologue, built this whole monologue around Ezekiel 25, 17.
00:06:51.500The path of a righteous man is beset on all side by the inequalities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
00:07:01.400Blessed is he in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness,
00:07:06.820for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
00:07:10.300And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger to those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
00:07:17.380And you will know my name is Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
00:21:45.100He attends CCP propaganda workshops. So the overlap is the Answer Coalition, which Singham funds through his donor advised funds architecture.
00:21:57.420And that was founded by the Workers' World Party, the same Workers' World Party whose leadership is in consistent, constant contact with Iran's press TV.
00:22:08.180Brian Decker, who co-founded the Answer Coalition and is a central organizer for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, right?
00:22:19.280The PSL. He's also the lead anchor at Breakthrough News, which is Singham's media production arm operating out of the People's Forum building in Manhattan.
00:22:29.880Sarah Flounders, who receives calls from press TV and organizes pro-committee vigils, is the co-director of the International Action Center, which is also a Workers' World Party organ.
00:22:41.440And these are all UNAC member organizations.
00:22:43.600So when you map this out, what you find is the same organizational network is simultaneously serving as an infrastructure for Chinese influence through Singham's money.
00:22:54.800and Iranian influence through the press-TV operational relationship.
00:23:03.120Once you understand what is happening and you see the influence and war for your mind everywhere,
00:23:09.380everything will begin to fall into place and make sense.
00:33:43.060about the whole impeachment process shows now proves that this whole thing was a sham a total
00:33:52.160and complete sham we know it um and now it's going to the house and they are talking about
00:34:00.420expunging that impeachment uh which should absolutely happen you look at the facts it
00:34:05.900absolutely should happen you know it's not going to um because they're going to make it about
00:34:12.300politics and the other thing that should happen is this should be the key to the case of the grand
00:34:18.880conspiracy all of these people should go to jail now screw the statute of limitations because it's
00:34:25.740a grand conspiracy because one of the things we found out is this was just a continuation
00:34:30.780of the russia russia russia thing when as that was going they just pivoted to this it was the
00:34:38.200same people and it was all about destroying the president of the united states jason your thoughts
00:34:44.600i don't know why i'm always surprised when these revelations come out about what was going on
00:34:50.840during the time but i'm always finding myself surprised on how bad it was and it seems like
00:34:55.280this with the impeachment the whistleblower and the inspector general that's involved now
00:35:00.500changing the rules change changing the rules changing the laws so the there are clear laws
00:35:07.160this does not apply unless it has this this and this and and the inspector general is like
00:35:13.840yeah not this time we're gonna let that slide yeah and what i know it's like so the way the
00:35:21.060rules were for whistleblowers uh the way it had been revised updated how it was currently
00:35:26.100when the whistleblower made his statement. You could not even submit it if the knowledge was
00:35:32.380secondhand. So you had to have firsthand knowledge. In fact, there was a page, as per
00:35:37.680described, there was a page beforehand that goes into full detail. You need to have firsthand
00:35:42.300knowledge. You cannot have gotten this information from someone else. Well, the version before that,
00:35:49.120a different form, an older form, did not have those instructions on there. So the whistleblower
00:35:54.400filled out his form on this other version so immediately it should have been full stop the
00:36:00.160inspector general should have thrown it out and said look we can't do that uh you don't really
00:36:05.040have a case here instead and i'm reading directly from a description of this quote he secretly this
00:36:11.420is the inspector general he secretly changed the form that required first-hand knowledge
00:36:16.500and backdated the change how is this how glenn this is wild so much worse than what i thought
00:36:26.080it was going to be well um we're going to find out whether our doj is doing their job because
00:36:35.240this is now clear it's so clear we're going to find out about our fbi um and we're going to find
00:36:41.400out about um you know this is the thing that it concerns me when you hear this thing about you
00:36:49.840know when you hear this thing about the federal reserve that i'm going to share with you on
00:36:54.620monday it's just so bad because they're not serving the american people they are just not
00:36:59.300serving they don't care about the american people um they're serving themselves and they're serving
00:37:03.720their elite friends they're not serving the american people why do we have such a problem
00:37:07.580Why are we not believing vaccines now?
00:37:09.800Because we realized we were taught that these people who are making these vaccines and, you know, and, you know, the FDA and everybody else, they don't care about the American people.
00:37:21.140They care about their friends in the pharmaceutical companies.
00:37:23.900They broke all kinds of laws, did all kinds of things, lied to us over and over and over again, told us, forced us to take something they had evidence was bad for humans.
00:37:37.580When you get to a point in a society where people see the heads of the government not serving the people, that's something you don't recover from.
00:37:49.980Once the people realize they don't care at all about you, they only care about their power and their position, and you have it black and white, and they keep getting away with it, you have revolution.
00:38:06.440And I do not want revolution. You want to be like Haiti? Hey, let's have a revolution. It would be very bad, very bad. But that's what you're headed for, politicians. That's what you're headed for. You've got to restore trust.0.58
00:38:23.520you must do the right thing and screw the next election do the right thing you will lose in the
00:38:33.600next election because people don't trust you anymore do something that can help us regain
00:38:41.820our trust all right back in just a minute most people still think identity theft looks like
00:38:49.040somebody stealing a credit card number. That's the old version. Now it looks like a loan application
00:38:54.080in your name, an account that you never opened, an email taken over, your personal information
00:38:58.660bought and sold online. Even somebody using AI to sound like you messages, you know, a message
00:39:04.100that's really just sounds like you. I mean, it's coming to the place where if they have 30 seconds
00:39:11.040of your voice, they can imitate your voice and you can call somebody and verify. I mean, it is bad.

00:39:56.020We don't need to agree on everything. Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.
00:47:10.380All right, I want to talk to you about three wars, and here is the first war.
00:47:16.880The first war that everybody knows about is the war in Iran.
00:47:20.240And I have told you I don't know how this ends.0.88
00:47:22.820It could end horribly, could end in World War III, but I see what I think the vision is.
00:47:29.440I laid it out entirely yesterday in hour one of yesterday's podcast.
00:47:34.240If you missed it, you should go back, because it lays out the entire, what I believe is the grand strategy that is happening now, and it continues to play out as a win for America.0.56
00:47:46.000The war in Iran, you know, we're losing that.0.70
00:47:58.480It has exposed who our real allies are.
00:48:00.560I mean, did you hear that they're now saying in Europe that because of the war, they may not have enough jet fuel in the next two months to be able to fly jets in the EU?0.86
00:48:18.680Now, I don't believe that for a second, but if that's true, if you are so reliant on such an unstable region as Iran, wouldn't you send a warship?0.83
00:48:32.160Wouldn't you allow your neighbor to actually go in and take care of that?0.98
00:50:34.700I mean, personally, I think it is aid and comfort to the enemy.0.97
00:50:38.140I mean, I think there are all kinds of laws that are being broken here by people in America working hand in hand with the Iranian government.0.91
00:50:49.720But let me give you another piece of propaganda and how we know it is happening.0.62
00:50:55.120In fact, take the overhead camera and let's just show my screen here for a second.
00:50:58.860Can you show it? Because I don't have it. I don't have it pulled up.
00:58:31.500In 2024, the commander of the U.S. Space Force,
00:58:34.680Indo-Pacific, issued a sharper warning.
00:58:36.700He said, Chinese satellites were stalking American satellites with the goal of tracking and targeting high-value U.S. assets whenever and wherever they choose.
00:58:46.240Their specific goals are to be able to track and target high-value assets at the time and place of their choosing.
00:58:53.460we are seeing now all these signs pointing to being able to target U.S. aircraft carriers
00:59:01.820as well as oil tankers, AWACS, and satellites. We just saw last week, was it? I saw a story where
00:59:12.960they were talking about how our GPS is being targeted right now. That's one of the things
01:03:57.000If you are occupying, then the rules say that another country can't come in to your area of influence.
01:04:04.560You don't own it, but it's your area of influence.
01:04:07.840So what is happening with Artemis, what would it be?
01:04:11.060Artemis 3, the next one, is we're going to start launching drones, satellites, and robots.
01:04:17.480and we are going to put these robots and all of this stuff all over in that space.
01:04:23.380You watch, we are going to be dumping boxes of stuff and having robots start to work in this
01:04:31.040area before we even get there with Artemis 4, I think. That's what's going to be happening
01:04:37.500beginning, I think, next year because China is right behind us. So we have to mark that space.0.97
01:04:44.520It's like a dog. We're going to pee all over the corners of the space we want by dumping stuff there and then begin building things so we have a moon base.
01:04:54.880That's what this is really all about. It is about going to the outer planets, et cetera, et cetera.
01:05:02.560But most importantly, this is about a space economy.
01:05:06.580That's the other thing that people aren't talking about is there are two things that are going to drive, three things that are going to really drive the future of the economy.
01:10:11.840They all wanted me to ask you about this, and we just ran out of time, so I wanted to have you back.
01:10:15.980Because there is this debate, not only are aliens real, but now there's this other debate that I'm not really engaged on,
01:10:24.020and I'd love to have you explain it, that if you're from another planet, this way I understand it, I could be wrong,
01:10:32.100if you're from another planet, you're not part of God's plan, you're a demon.
01:10:35.980is that what people are saying or do i have that screwed up because that sounds nuts to me
01:10:41.900so here's here's what people are saying what they're saying is you sort of pull back and you
01:10:46.580say okay people are experiencing something right and i think that's the key here yes people are
01:10:51.380seeing something this isn't people making it up there are claims of encounters there are claims
01:10:55.900of seeing ufos and when i talk about encounters there are people who claim that they've actually
01:11:00.400interacted with these aliens they've been abducted they've and it sounds crazy but this is something
01:11:05.080that is very prevalent now that causes us to say okay are they all crazy or did they see something
01:11:10.700i think that the conclusion even among a lot of scientists now is that hey people are seeing
01:11:15.360something but where the debate is is what are they actually seeing are they seeing beings from
01:11:21.480another planet or are they seeing something spiritual yes right and i that makes sense to me
01:11:29.040That makes sense to me. To say that life, that we're alone in the planet, and if anything else comes off of any other planet is not part of God's plan or it's evil, does not make sense. So if people are saying that, I would disagree with. But if you're talking about people seeing and interacting right now with aliens, that the possibility is that that is a dark spiritual force, I absolutely believe that could be true.
01:11:55.380Well, and that's so interesting about this.
01:11:58.360Well, that's what's so interesting about this, because when you read Ephesians 6 in the Bible,
01:12:01.980when you look at these different verses, it doesn't just say there's Satan and demons.
01:12:06.340It talks about principalities and powers, and there's some mystery here in what is going on.
01:12:11.380But one of the theories, one of the key theories among a lot of Christians,
01:12:14.380is that people are seeing things in the skies.
01:12:17.340They're interacting with these things.
01:12:19.580They believe there's sort of a deception theory here, right?
01:12:22.700And we cover this in Investigating the Supernatural Angels and Demons.
01:12:26.120You can see that over at CBN.com forward slash supernatural.
01:12:30.240But, you know, we cover it because the idea is that there's a deception and that the demons want you to believe they're aliens, but they're actually demonic and they're presenting themselves.
01:12:39.600And I know this sounds crazy, but they're presenting themselves as aliens.
01:12:43.120Now, when you do look at scripture, you see that angels and we can get into the whole debate about what are what are demons even because that's sort of part of this.
01:12:50.300Angels do show up in different forms, even as people throughout Scripture.
01:12:54.420So this idea that if these are demons, they could manifest as aliens or something else, it's an interesting prospect.
01:13:02.260And we could talk even about some of the evidence that people will raise to make this claim.
01:13:07.840But demons cannot—excuse me for—I mean, this is such a novice question, I'm sure, for you.
01:13:14.300But I thought demons could possess bodies, but do not have bodies, right?
01:13:26.600And this is where this debate gets very, very interesting because there are all different theories on this, right?
01:13:32.020Not everybody, and that's why I brought up what are demons.
01:13:34.500You kind of have to work backwards on this with the alien question because there is a debate even among Christians when it comes to what are demons.
01:13:41.740Now, the common belief is that demons are fallen angels, right?
01:13:46.760Now, if that's true, angels can manifest in physical form, right?
01:13:53.840We see this numerous times where they appear as people, where the Bible even tells us,
01:13:57.980you may entertain angels unaware, you think they're people, they're not.
01:14:01.680The other theory is that demons are actually the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim.
01:14:07.500and that is an interesting theory and it's one that has been picking up some steam even among
01:14:13.940theologians but basically you go back to genesis 6 you see these giants right that the bible talks
01:14:19.660about um and you have to kind of extend outside of scripture into the book of enoch which is
01:14:26.080referenced in scripture i know this is a lot right but to kind of pull this theory together
01:14:30.560yes it's in the apocrypha yes um but jude references it which is very interesting
01:14:37.120in the New Testament. He references a piece of that book, which means there was at least some
01:14:42.000belief that parts of that book were valid or they were at least well-known among the Jewish people
01:14:47.880at the time. So the idea that the Nephilim died in the flood and we're no longer bodied and we're
01:14:54.280looking for bodies and that that's what demons are, that's another theory we tackle in the film
01:14:59.000as well. So your question is a good one, though. This is fascinating to me, the Nephilim, because
01:15:06.500I did years ago. I had no idea about the giants and everything else. And the Nephilim, correct me
01:15:12.180if I'm wrong. The Nephilim are angels that were supposed to protect mankind. I believe
01:15:17.540they were literal giants. Um, and they, you know, are really butchering this, but they're sitting
01:15:24.240around having a conversation and maybe a beer. And they're like, you know what, let's just go
01:15:27.880down there and we can mate with them and we'll make, you know, super humans. And, and so they0.95
01:15:32.620come down and that is where we get the giants of the past um is they took human women mated with
01:15:43.000them and made these giants and that's why one of the reasons why the why god destroyed everything
01:15:49.740uh with um you know mankind in the flood because we had we had augmented ourself with these things
01:15:57.640You're saying that they didn't go away, that this might be the explanation for what we're seeing?
01:16:06.360So, yeah, and here's the thing that gets so wild, because this sounds science fiction and it sounds crazy, but this is what the book of Enoch says.
01:16:14.100Now, the Bible talks about, and again, Genesis 6, it does talk about this.
01:16:18.040So it was the fallen angels who came down, according to Enoch, and mated with human women and produced the Nephilim.
01:16:24.280So these Nephilim are then wiped out in the flood.0.95
01:16:26.760as you said, they're doing all these things that God hates. They're wiped out in the flood,0.98
01:16:31.000and they have been seeking a body ever since. That is one theory of what demons are. And that's
01:16:36.360why when you ask the question, well, aren't angels bodied, right? They can have a body.
01:16:41.080They can form, they can show up in physical form. What's interesting about the alien discussion is
01:16:46.400you could make either argument here. You could say, well, are fallen angels not really necessarily
01:16:52.140demons that can possess people, but are they the aliens that are walking around physically
01:16:56.520manifesting as this thing, right? And so this is such a complicated discussion. But I think the
01:17:02.500key thing in pulling back is, if there aren't aliens from other planets, then what are people
01:17:08.560experiencing? And it seems that many would say in the Christian realm, they're actually experiencing
01:17:13.120a spiritual battle that's pouring over these spiritual creatures that are demonic, right?0.79
01:17:18.800Whether you think they're Nephilim or fallen angels, they're part of the realm of darkness,
01:17:22.680and they're convincing people that there's something else.
01:17:25.940And then the big question is, well, why would they do that?
01:18:44.800But what you were saying about Tucker, one of the things in looking at this, and Hugh Ross is in Investigating the Supernatural, he talks about this.
01:18:52.500When you compare people's interactions with aliens, the claimed aliens, to the demonic, they mirror one another.
01:18:59.260There's nighttime visitations, paralysis, fear, being very scared, telepathy, all the things that when people are possessed or oppressed, they claim to experience.
01:19:09.940We see a parallel with these alien encounters.
01:19:14.800There are many researchers who say that the minute you mention Jesus's name, the alien encounter will stop.
01:19:21.020And so those are things that do add credence to that this is actually a spiritual manifestation, which would also account for why we don't see, you know, there's so many claims of technology.
01:19:31.620And I know there's congressmen talking about this that we're seeing, but we haven't really laid our eyes on any of this stuff that is as physical as people are claiming.
01:19:38.980So that will be interesting to see as well.
01:19:40.680so i i think billy i think i come away agreeing if this is what you're saying that um that there
01:19:49.500is a spiritual battle going on and that could be what we're seeing and experiencing when we
01:19:54.660claim we have these encounters um and that we don't know what aliens are i mean i i don't want
01:20:01.940to put them into a box that they are one thing or another because we've never really seen them
01:20:06.680what we are seeing could be very well a spiritual being on the dark side.
01:21:02.440See that Supernatural special, cbn.com slash supernatural, cbn.com slash supernatural, Billy Halliwell.
01:21:09.520Okay, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
01:21:12.380Sometimes the value of a product or service depends heavily on the values of the company providing it.
01:21:17.240And your mobile carrier is no exception because the phone service isn't about coverage, bars, and a monthly bill.
01:21:21.900It's also about who you're doing business with, what they stand for, where your money goes after it leaves your bank account.
01:21:27.380I'm tired of paying through the nose for wireless service while knowing that these big companies use my dollars to support causes that I am absolutely dead set against.
01:21:39.860They have dependable nationwide coverage, competitive pricing, U.S.-based customer service, supporting the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, sanctity of life, all the values that built this country.
01:21:50.740They're America's and I think the world's only Christian conservative wireless phone company.
01:21:54.760So, I want you to go right now, make the switch to PatriotMobile.com, PatriotMobile.com, call 972-PATRIOT, use the promo code BECK, you'll get a free month of service.
01:22:04.020Make this switch today, PatriotMobile.com slash BECK, or call 972-PATRIOT, promo code BECK.
01:30:30.880You can't be much help to anyone if your own house isn't prepared first.
01:30:34.640And when I'm talking about being prepared, I want you to go back and listen to the opening monologue of today's show.
01:30:40.320I talked about what's happening with a drought and our farmers.
01:30:43.640And I warn you, Monday, I'm going to give you more information on this, of what's coming,
01:30:49.420because I just spent about two hours doing some research on what the Fed was doing.
01:30:54.180And they have been lying to us. Surprise, surprise.
01:30:56.640And we're about to possibly go into some very tough times, especially with drought, fertilizer, and the state of our economy with our farmers as it is.

01:46:24.900okay i'm going to take phone calls uh next 888-727-BECK um but first i i want to take a
01:46:43.340minute here and go to our supreme court justice clarence thomas who had an amazing speech you
01:46:48.500should watch in full um but here's a piece of that speech listen to what clarence thomas just said
01:46:54.300At the beginning of the 20th century, a new set of first principles of government was introduced into the American mainstream.
01:47:05.220The proponents of this new set of first principles, most prominent among them, the 28th president of our country, Woodrow Wilson, called it progressivism.
01:47:19.320Since Wilson's presidency, progressivism has made many inroads into our system of government and our way of life.
01:47:30.680It has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration.
01:47:36.620Because it is opposed to those principles, it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.
01:47:43.520he is right you got to listen to this whole speech we'll tweet it out but uh it's it's

01:48:03.680already know small problems uh that you know can work its way into your day and become really
01:48:08.900really big one, and they turn into a major expense. Simple question turns into three phone
01:48:13.920calls, and then something you thought was handled suddenly isn't. Confusion, it's expensive,
01:48:19.300especially when it comes to insurance. Most business owners, you don't need more paperwork,
01:48:25.060more portals, more people passing them to somebody else. You need clarity. You need to know what you

01:49:31.480Hey, a couple of updates before we go to the phones, 888-727-BCK. Yesterday, if you were listening, I told you about a 15-year-old girl, Liv Parato, who has passed away, was into the space program, and Elon Musk and Jared Isaacman from NASA just were incredible people to her.
01:49:53.020she was supposed to talk to Elon. He called her. She was too tired to speak to her. And then she
01:49:59.280died before they connected, but she had written a list of questions down that she wanted to ask
01:50:04.280Elon Musk. And so yesterday I talked about it and Elon reached out and said, I'm going to answer
01:50:09.720these things here shortly. Um, thanks, you know, for the reminder, I will answer them. So we're
01:50:16.340expecting his answers and hopefully maybe it happened this weekend. You know, when he gets
01:50:19.520time he'll answer. I think there were like seven or eight questions from her, and I'm anxious to
01:50:23.660hear some of the answers to that. Also, an update on yesterday, I was talking to you about propaganda.
01:50:29.600This has kind of been the theme of this week's shows, and if you missed any of them, go back
01:50:34.920and listen, especially to hour number one of today. There's some really interesting and very
01:50:40.580important things on propaganda that we talked about in hour one of the podcast. Also, Data
01:50:46.560republican there is a full it's about 30 or 40 minute interview with data republican at glennbeck.com
01:50:53.000she's the one that has been tracking some of this coming directly from iran but let me show you
01:50:59.180another piece of propaganda here's elon omar uh and she is talking uh about president trump
01:51:07.100criticizing the pope listen to this cut three leader yeah i mean how deranged do you have to be
01:51:13.580to be upset with the Pope for preaching about peace and love in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
01:51:22.900And so it is telling that these people that say that they're people of faith,
01:51:27.440that they are far from being people of faith and far from practicing Christianity
01:51:33.080and having respect for the Bible and religious leaders.
01:51:36.700okay i uh i i'm not going to take my my critique of christianity from elon omar um but again
01:51:45.540this has been a theme this week you had the the head of iran come out and condemn the president
01:51:52.040and also say i'm with the pope really like the shia twelver is with the pope really and now
01:52:01.060here's ilan omar this is all very well crafted um propaganda that is coming directly literally
01:52:09.280directly from our enemies um so be be careful on everything that you react to or want to react to
01:52:17.140on social media um okay let me go to the phone i have nick from utah nick was uh he called us i
01:52:24.320think it was about a week or so ago nick and you asked about is the american dream even possible
01:52:29.560anymore for people your age. You're 24 years old. Welcome back to the program, Nick.
01:52:35.360Thanks, Glenn, for having me. Yeah, I really appreciate what you and Jason said.
01:52:41.640I think the difference between my American dream and the average is I don't care about making
01:52:47.120millions of dollars and having a lot of money. My dream is being able to have a family,
01:52:52.980um have my own house and not to worry about just being able to have financially um not
01:53:01.760being able to just like sustain a living for a family and provide them yeah and how i like
01:53:08.000my my dream i want to actually uh as you're talking about the the
01:53:13.380cows and ranching i actually want to start a buffalo ranch
01:53:17.640i've got the land if you'll do the buffalo my wife will not let me get buffalo she says
01:53:24.360they're too dangerous and i'm like i want buffalo on our land you want you want land you can put
01:53:28.940your buffalo on my land that way i can say it's not me honey it's nick anyway go ahead
01:53:33.080but it's yeah and that's like it's just hard nowadays because like i'm not gonna be making
01:53:41.760million, lots of money. And I'm fine with that. But the hard part is like, you look on a lot of
01:53:48.120the social media and a lot of the girls now like, oh, I want to travel and have this much money and
01:53:53.520go do all this stuff. And it just seems like it's impossible. Yeah. So Nick, there's a couple of
01:54:01.280things. Our view of what success is, is so distorted now. It's always been distorted in
01:54:07.560America, especially since about the 1970s, when two incomes really started, then everything kind
01:54:14.680of went wild. If you look at the way we lived back in the days of the 1950s and 60s, and I'm
01:54:21.780not saying it's perfect, but the houses were very, very small. 2,000 square feet was the average
01:54:27.080house, 2,500 square feet. You had one car. You lived within your means. Now, it is so incredibly
01:54:35.800distorted that nobody, if you're living in a house that is 2,500 square feet, you know, in a simple
01:54:41.380neighborhood and you have a simple life and you have one car and your wife stays at home or
01:54:45.240whatever, you're a freak. And people would say, that's not success. That is success. There's also
01:54:52.040something that you need to be aware of. You know, there's a lot of talk about, oh, we were talking
01:54:58.040about it earlier today. The new income, Ricky, help me out. We were talking about the income thing
01:55:03.700uh today in the morning meeting that uh what's his name from chat gpt just said
01:55:10.360is is we have to talk about and it's coming he proposed to what is that oh ubi
01:55:15.060universal ubi yeah universal basic income that i i keep talking about that i've talked about it
01:55:21.900for 10 years this is not the answer but it will be the answer soon if we don't have a conversation
01:55:28.240about how deeply the economy and things are going to change.
01:55:56.040And we were talking about how hard it is to be able to even think you can have a house.
01:56:02.100And a mom was there and said, you know, my kids, you know, they're thinking about moving back in with mom, but they don't want to do that, move in with mom and dad.
01:56:11.260And I said, you know, my mother-in-law is now living with us.
01:56:15.860And, you know, I want my own life and everything else.
01:56:19.160But she has brought so much wisdom to our house.
01:56:24.620doesn't mean it's easy all the time, but I, I actually really love it. Um, you know, when I
01:56:30.760was living in Dallas, all my kids were living on the same street with me and I don't think I
01:56:35.620appreciated it. I didn't appreciate it enough. Um, we, we used to be families and you didn't
01:56:42.880have a problem with mom and dad living with you or you living with mom and dad in the old days,
01:56:48.500In the 50s, it wasn't unusual for somebody in their 20s or even 30 to still live with their mom and dad until they had their life together.
01:56:59.580So, you know, family is the most important.
01:57:03.840Being a good, tight-knit family is, and I mean generationally, is not the popular thing right now, but it should be.
01:57:14.700And, you know, I don't want to promote it because circumstances say,
01:57:19.600I think we should start to look at that and say,
