00:00:00.000 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:00:05.000 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:00:30.000 One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.

00:00:37.620 You're still in the room.

00:00:38.820 You're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.

00:00:43.700 And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit, and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.

00:00:51.840 What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.

00:00:55.220 it's the process it's the doctor appointments the multiple visits the adjustments the price tag that

00:04:38.960 days. Alright, I want to talk to you about one word, and this

00:04:43.040 this one word describes almost every argument we are actually having in America. And you'll

00:04:50.320 understand how that works out here in just a minute. But let me give you that one word that

00:04:56.400 is the actual argument for everything. The one word is mine. Let me explain. This has not hit

00:05:05.600 your kitchen table yet, but it will. Please hear me, this will. And if you don't deal with it now,

00:05:14.280 you will be in panic and the Bernie Sanders of the world are going to give you something that

00:05:20.140 is dressed up in the prettiest language you've ever heard. You want to date that pretty thing

00:05:25.780 like nobody's business. It's all about artificial intelligence and it's about your data. And

00:05:32.720 underneath all of it is one question who owns the future in the next couple of days i want to talk

00:05:40.420 to you about energy and these data centers um but i want to talk to you first about what bernie

00:05:46.400 sanderson now bernie sanders and i'll give him credit where credit is due the guy doesn't have

00:05:50.780 a problem you know he he took his uh honeymoon over in the former soviet union when it was still

00:05:56.960 the scary soviet union so i mean he doesn't have a problem telling you exactly who he is

00:06:02.800 and he just told us his plan and he's calling it the american sovereign wealth fund act wow

00:06:09.360 like a patriot act now i happen to speak you know political bullcrap so let me translate what that

00:06:17.760 actually means the government he's proposing will take a one-time 50 cut of the biggest ai companies

00:06:25.920 in America. Open AI, Anthropic, all of them, okay? And here's the really clever part.

00:06:34.400 He doesn't want it paid in cash. He wants it paid in stock. He wants Washington to own

00:06:41.500 half the company. I warn you, this is going to come from the progressive Republicans as well.

00:06:48.620 We have to say no to this every time.

00:06:52.620 Now, he's pairing this with what he calls a robot tax built on a report out of his own Senate committee

00:06:58.480 warning that AI could wipe out nearly 100 million American jobs in the next 10 years.

00:07:03.980 And that's going to happen.

00:07:05.780 So he wants to fix this in a very generous way because, quote, technology belongs to everyone.

00:07:12.420 Wealth belongs to everyone.

00:07:14.380 The future belongs to everyone.

00:07:16.380 Wow, sounds like just a hug from Bernie Sanders.

00:07:20.860 Until you ask the one question that nobody really ever wants you to ask.

00:07:26.140 Bernie, when you say everyone, who is everyone?

00:07:32.780 Now watch, because this is where socialists always have a sleight of hand trick.

00:07:38.200 Every time a politician says everyone, watch their hands.

00:07:42.240 because everyone always turns into a committee

00:07:47.360 or a board or a fund,

00:07:49.980 a handful of people in a building in Washington

00:07:52.720 making decisions for 350 million people

00:07:55.780 who will never know their names.

00:07:59.100 It's the collective, it's the masses,

00:08:01.840 it's the people.

00:08:04.660 And history is stacked with people

00:08:07.580 who claim to speak for the people

00:08:11.580 right until the moment they were deciding everything for each of us

00:08:16.220 and then executing those who didn't go along with the plan.

00:08:19.560 Now, I'm not going to say that that's Bernie Sanders.

00:08:22.340 I'm not going to call him a fascist.

00:08:23.580 I think calling everybody a fascist or labels is pretty lazy

00:08:27.180 unless they deserve it.

00:08:29.200 Honestly, half the people who throw fascist around couldn't define it

00:08:32.300 if you spotted them the first three letters.

00:08:34.160 So I want to be precise on what fascism is

00:08:38.240 because precision is a strong weapon.

00:08:41.780 The danger here is never goose-stepping soldiers, okay?

00:08:45.620 That's a cartoon.

00:08:47.520 The real danger is always much quieter, it's structural,

00:08:51.360 and it shows up in every system that has ever gone wrong.

00:08:56.360 It's when people who create value get separated from the value they create.

00:09:02.940 Now, there's lots of ways to define fascism,

00:09:05.580 And most people want to make fascism just about nationalism and anti-Semitism.

00:09:11.260 But that doesn't help on anything.

00:09:13.960 What is that? 0.76

00:09:15.600 Fascism is an actual economic system and one the progressives loved until Hitler.

00:09:22.660 Communism is a system where the state owns the mean of production. 0.66

00:09:26.800 So they own all of the factories and everything else.

00:09:29.260 It doesn't work.

00:09:30.500 Fascism also doesn't work.

00:09:32.380 But it works better than communism.

00:09:33.900 And that's where the state partners with corporations and owners.

00:09:38.940 That's it.

00:09:40.460 That's the whole disease in one sentence.

00:09:43.480 When it is socialism or fascism or communism, the rule is the same.

00:09:50.280 The state becomes the owner or a part owner and the referee and the player all at once.

00:09:59.880 And when that happens, you don't get a fairer game.

00:10:02.600 you get a rigged game it doesn't matter what flag is flying over or what label you want to give it

00:10:09.080 it doesn't matter what it's called in the textbook bernie sanders calls himself a democratic socialist

00:10:15.400 fine i'll take him at his word okay but the mechanism he's describing washington holding

00:10:21.740 the stock washington steering the harvest that's the dangerous part you need to watch not the label

00:10:28.120 the machine that he wants to build. Okay, so it kills me to say this, but this is something I

00:10:35.280 have been saying for 15 years and people haven't heard me because the problem seemed like sci-fi

00:10:40.340 machines and robots taking everybody's job and nobody paid attention and AI still is pretty much

00:10:45.460 just some, you know, thing that you just put a question in and it answers it for you. I've told

00:10:50.880 you several years ago, we have to talk about AI, the job situation and UBI. I've said this several

00:10:56.920 times that we need to discuss the alternatives because UBI is not the answer. But when we get

00:11:02.320 to this point, everybody is going to say, oh, we got to do something. And guys like Bernie Sanders

00:11:07.920 will step up and he'll be half right. Hear me out. Bernie Sanders is half right.

00:11:15.620 he said you helped build this thing it's true you did for 20 years you fed it every search

00:11:27.160 every email every photo every review you ever wrote at midnight every click billions of people

00:11:33.960 poured the poured the single largest collection of human experience ever assembled into these

00:11:39.180 systems and then a handful of these companies that knew exactly what they were building in the 1990s

00:11:44.820 turned it into some of the most valuable assets in the history of the world so when somebody

00:11:49.620 stands up and say says hey the american people had a hand in creating this they're not wrong

00:11:54.560 and that question of hey wait a minute you built this on the back of us what do we get that's an

00:12:01.580 honest question but the answer is where people fall off a cliff because bernie sanders answer

00:12:11.560 And other people on both sides of the aisle, mark my words, their answer will be, take it, tax it, nationalize at least half of it, let Washington hold the keys.

00:12:25.140 And my answer, the American answer, is a word that is older than the republic itself.

00:12:37.160 Property.

00:12:39.380 Property.

00:12:40.060 The reason why you can't take it from them is because of private property.

00:12:45.960 But wait a minute.

00:12:48.000 What about your property?

00:12:50.280 I want you to think about how this works in every other aspect of your life.

00:12:54.740 In every other corner of your life, somebody strikes oil on your property, under your house.

00:13:03.580 Texans know this.

00:13:05.460 What happens?

00:13:06.740 Well, Washington doesn't seize the oil company.

00:13:10.060 If you're smart, when you bought your house in Texas, you retained the mineral rights.

00:13:16.640 And so if somebody finds oil underneath your land, you get a check.

00:13:21.540 Somebody records your song.

00:13:24.120 Washington doesn't nationalize the record label.

00:13:26.820 You own the song, so you get the royalty.

00:13:29.680 Somebody builds on your patent.

00:13:31.920 Washington doesn't confiscate the factory.

00:13:34.480 You own the patent.

00:13:35.880 You own the invention.

00:13:37.420 So I have one question.

00:13:40.060 Why is it your data, which is the most valuable thing you own,

00:13:46.860 that that is the one thing that is the most personal to you,

00:13:53.340 but yet you don't own it?

00:13:55.920 For some reason, property, that intellectual property, doesn't apply here.

00:14:02.980 I want you to know this is not some fever dream I cooked up on a chalkboard.

00:14:06.440 Serious people have been chewing on this for years.

00:14:08.780 years. People in Silicon Valley, Tea Party or guys, I can't remember his name,

00:14:15.540 Jason something or other, but he's been arguing that your data has dignity and a price. Andrew

00:14:22.500 Yang was on this program 10, 12 years ago saying your data should be your property, and I agree

00:14:27.320 with him. This idea crosses every line that we usually fight across, okay? So how do we come

00:14:38.540 to an answer. The difference is what you do with it, because America is standing at a massive fork

00:14:49.100 in the road. And if you are a true conservative, you need to get ahead of this. So I'm going to

00:14:57.560 give you two paths, Bernie Sanders' path and my path. And I'm going to show you the difference

00:15:02.820 and why Bernie Sanders is dangerous on this

00:15:07.540 and why we have to discuss this

00:15:11.320 and how we can solve an awful lot of our problems

00:15:16.060 by keeping our principles.

00:15:17.920 I'll give you those two paths here in just a second.

00:15:19.940 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:15:21.940 Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.

00:15:24.780 The little decisions in life add up.

00:15:26.920 The decision to take the stairs instead of the elevator,

00:15:29.480 the decision to put a little money into savings,

00:15:31.280 you get the idea.

00:15:31.960 things that shape our lives are really small choices made consistently over time that eventually

00:15:37.720 lead us somewhere, which is why I think it's worth paying attention to where your money goes every

00:15:42.320 single month. Your cell phone bill may not feel like a big decision. It's just one of those things

00:15:46.020 you pay, but the monthly payments add up. That's why I like Patriot Mobile. They give you dependable

00:15:50.620 nationwide coverage on all three major networks along with a U.S.-based customer service while

00:15:55.140 supporting the values that you care about and I care about, free speech, religious liberty,

00:15:59.360 all of that stuff. It's a small decision, but little decisions in life have a way of adding

00:16:04.040 up to something much bigger in time. And this is one of the easiest ones you'll ever make.

00:16:29.360 okay so we're at this fork of the road now let me give you two paths first bernie sanders

00:16:41.600 washington takes stock in all of these companies and then washington runs a fund and then washington

00:16:50.160 decides who benefits and when and you get to hope that you're on the list and the citizen becomes

00:16:56.060 the client and the state becomes the parent. And you, you just keep getting smaller.

00:17:03.560 Path two. Path two, you own your slice. Now, maybe you take it as a dividend, a check. Maybe

00:17:11.400 you take it every year. No agency, no strings, no form to fill out in triplicate. Or maybe you

00:17:16.980 don't spend a dime of it. Maybe you pool it voluntarily with your family or your church

00:17:22.180 or your community, and you let it compound, okay?

00:17:25.380 You let it grow.

00:17:26.120 You let the markets do the boring, beautiful thing

00:17:28.140 they always do, turn a little capital

00:17:29.880 into a lot of it over time.

00:17:32.680 So what's the difference between these two stories?

00:17:38.220 Notice what nobody did in that second story.

00:17:42.340 Nobody forced you.

00:17:44.520 Nobody drafted you into somebody else's vision

00:17:47.000 of the country, and that is the entire ballgame.

00:17:50.380 The collective says, we'll decide for you.

00:17:54.460 But freedom says, no, you decide.

00:17:59.400 The collective says, the government owns the future and part of it.

00:18:03.880 And freedom says, no, you own the future.

00:18:08.540 The collective says, trust us.

00:18:10.640 Freedom says, trust yourself.

00:18:14.320 Turning your data into a property right is going to be hard.

00:18:17.980 Nobody has fully cracked this code.

00:18:21.360 They don't know how to do it yet.

00:18:22.980 Lawyers are going to get rich either way.

00:18:25.200 But hard has never been an excuse to hand the harvest over to Washington

00:18:29.240 and then have them call it generosity.

00:18:33.420 The founders understood something that we keep forgetting here.

00:18:37.520 The job of government is not to manage your life.

00:18:42.760 It's to protect your right to go and create.

00:18:47.980 You get that thing right. You protect property. You protect the person and free people to build

00:18:55.900 themselves and everything changes. And that's not a theory. That's the idea that built the

00:19:03.340 most prosperous nation that has ever existed on the planet. And we can do it again.

00:19:08.960 So as you start to see jobs being lost, you hear about these giant companies making billions and

00:19:16.600 billions and trillions of dollars and it's it is based on your back your personal property

00:19:24.860 i mean do you have access to all of the information they have on you they can predict you

00:19:31.240 better than you can but they know what they're going you're going to do before you know what

00:19:36.280 you're going to do and they can shape you i want my personal property back if they want access to

00:19:44.400 it they can buy it from me but remember none of this will come down to a fund or a tax or a 50

00:19:54.360 page bill that nobody will even read it comes down to that one word the first word that every

00:20:01.360 two-year-old learns the world that the word that built this country and scares every central

00:20:07.640 planner like Bernie Sanders who has ever lived and that word is mine the government is saying

00:20:14.280 that's mine on your behalf i say government get the hell out of the way that is mine and i don't

00:20:23.460 give you the right to take anything that is mine and then hold it for me no bernie sanders is this

00:20:35.640 is a dangerous idea that changes us fundamentally property rights get property rights correct

00:20:44.260 on this and we will solve a ton of problems and you know what jason and i were talking before the

00:20:50.940 show and uh you know i said they have all of our data and they are i mean look this up jason you

00:20:59.060 should do a glen ai i think i've done enough shows on it to where i could pull this where i've talked

00:21:04.620 about the death of free will you don't know if you had the idea or they gave you the idea because

00:21:10.920 they know you so well. They have all your data points. So who's controlling whom? Which, by the

00:21:20.780 way, leads me to a little bit of history here. This is a letter from the White House signed by

00:21:29.260 Lyndon Baines Johnson to the governor of California, Edmund Brown, in 1964, where Brown was saying,

00:21:38.640 hey, we need some investment here because we need to do some high-tech stuff.

00:21:44.040 This is the letter that, this is the beginning of Silicon Valley.

00:21:49.640 And he's talking about, yes, we've got existing federal programs.

00:21:54.580 We're going to be doing some things in California, blah, blah, blah.

00:21:58.000 This is the beginning of Silicon Valley.

00:22:00.720 The United States government and the CIA in particular funded a lot of Silicon Valley.

00:22:08.640 So, again, you do own it.

00:22:11.500 Your tax dollars funded a lot of Silicon Valley.

00:22:15.620 Then we gave them all the information,

00:22:18.120 which is, strangely, exactly what the CIA has wanted

00:22:22.100 the American people to do and give them forever.

00:22:26.480 Can we stop giving the government more of our stuff?

00:22:29.640 Can we start looking at our intellectual property,

00:22:33.400 who we are, all of our data, as mine?

00:22:37.520 It's my property, period.

00:22:41.620 Pay me for it.

00:22:42.720 all right if you're planning a summer vacation i want you to keep something in mind um

00:23:12.720 First of all, if you're going to a national park, the animals are real.

00:23:16.900 It's not Disneyland.

00:23:18.460 Somebody else was gored by a buffalo in Yellowstone, what, yesterday, the day before?

00:23:24.280 What a bunch of dope.

00:23:25.340 Well, I'll talk about this here in a second.

00:23:26.980 Anyway, cybercriminals, the other thing you should know is they don't take vacations,

00:23:31.280 but they love it when you do because you're booking hotels and rental cars and flights and activities.

00:23:36.460 You're expecting to receive emails, text notifications about your trip.

00:23:40.260 that creates opportunities for scammers and they can impersonate hotel staff, guest relations,

00:23:46.620 booking services, just about anyone else involved in your travel plans. You might get a message

00:23:51.520 claiming there's a problem with your reservation. Your payment didn't go through. You need to verify

00:23:55.420 some information before check-in and it'll all look legitimate. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't

00:24:01.900 click on those links. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go and make sure that you are

00:24:20.220 Coming up, a tell-all book about Glenn from one of his co-hosts in the 90s before he went national.

00:24:25.300 I read it. You cannot miss this later on the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:37.400 Oh, every summer, man, I come up here to the Mountain West and I see the news of somebody

00:24:57.180 being gored by a bison. And I cheer for the bison. I really do. And because people go to

00:25:03.060 Yellowstone and they just think oh look it's a park it's a zoo look it's like Disneyland except

00:25:09.380 the animals are real but they act like audio animatronics they'll never hurt us oh my gosh 0.99

00:25:14.660 you people are so stupid uh so I got a rant on that because I feel that passionately you might 0.99

00:25:20.160 have to put up with me for just a couple of minutes on that but I want to continue our 1.00

00:25:23.580 conversation uh on what I was just saying because we got into the break and Jason you know was

00:25:29.340 talking to the insiders, and Ricky had some comments on it. This is such an important thing,

00:25:35.740 the data, who owns the data. And this all stems from a press conference that Bernie Sanders had

00:25:44.060 yesterday, where he wants the government to get in bed with these AI companies. For the love of

00:25:51.000 little baby Jesus, hear me. Do not allow our government to get deeper in bed with these AI 0.65

00:26:00.300 companies. Don't allow them to do it. These AI companies, I don't trust them at all, at all.

00:26:11.840 They have taken and built this entire system on your back. Then they're going to destroy your job.

00:26:20.060 Now, this could be a really good thing, but when you have the best minds in the world saying you're going to have 50%, 60% unemployment globally in the next 10 years, you better have a way to have people make money.

00:26:34.820 well one of them is your data i i am jason how was it what was the question you had that got me

00:26:43.220 into the fingerprints because i want to i want to pick it up where you were thinking because i think

00:26:49.380 most people are think like this uh about how what i was just talking about in the insider chat

00:26:56.280 yeah about how it's not how it's you're not that unique it's it's it's the same thing over and

00:27:01.980 over and over again. You were talking about acting. So all new technologies appear like

00:27:06.880 they're just improvements on past, you could call it intellectual property, what people thought,

00:27:12.420 the inventions they did, their theories. And it's usually improved upon by some new technology.

00:27:19.620 Is that not AI? I mean, we've willfully given over every single thing that they have now used

00:27:25.460 to create AI. We've signed it away every time we use Google search or Chrome or any other

00:27:31.700 you know application we've given it away freely so now they have used that improved upon that

00:27:37.040 intelligence to allow us to use these tools how is that any different but now they are but now

00:27:42.920 they are but now they are because it's not exactly stolen we all went in this but they had information

00:27:50.620 that we did not have okay like for instance when we traded manhattan for beads strings of beads

00:27:57.480 with the Native Americans.

00:27:58.840 We didn't rip them off. 1.00

00:28:00.480 That was a fair price to them.

00:28:02.440 They thought they were ripping us off.

00:28:05.700 They said no man can own property. 0.61

00:28:08.480 We don't own this property.

00:28:09.820 The great God owns this property.

00:28:12.600 So you want to buy it from us?

00:28:14.380 Sure.

00:28:15.080 How about you give us some of that stuff?

00:28:16.960 They laughed at us.

00:28:18.920 You can't do that.

00:28:20.140 That wasn't part of their culture, okay?

00:28:22.680 And that's what they asked for.

00:28:23.900 And many times we paid big prices.

00:28:26.520 later, we paid big, big dollars. We bought Pennsylvania three times from three different

00:28:32.600 tribes because one said, well, you just paid them. Well, they stole it from us. And so we 0.95

00:28:37.540 paid them. And then the third group came in and said, but they stole it from us. And so we paid

00:28:41.780 them. I mean, that is different. This is something where these people knew exactly what they were

00:28:51.640 building. They knew it in the 80s or in the 90s. They knew what they were. When Google did it,

00:28:57.860 remember, Google didn't take advertising for a while. They were just a search engine for free.

00:29:02.940 And we kept saying, well, why is it? Why is it free? Because you're the product.

00:29:08.640 What they were getting from you was far more valuable. And I talked about it in the 90s.

00:29:14.320 they are studying how the human brain works and beyond just the human brain so they can create

00:29:22.260 AI beyond the human brain they will then after they get that they will look to your specific

00:29:29.920 brain okay so you can build on all kinds of ideas I am a I'm a collection you steal from me you've

00:29:39.180 stolen twice, at least twice, okay? I am a collection of my grandfather, my father,

00:29:47.440 Walt Disney, Orson Welles, Michael O'Shea, I'm missing, Charlie Brown, all these people,

00:30:01.380 Don Imus, all these people I used to listen to, they shaped me, but I'm none of them.

00:30:10.640 I am my own unique fingerprint. I am different than them, okay? So I observed them, and then I

00:30:19.120 took what I thought was good, and I adopted that into me, which makes me unique. What they're doing

00:30:27.920 is they mapped us, okay, and to see how humans think.

00:30:33.940 That's one thing.

00:30:35.340 But now they're taking our data

00:30:37.480 and they're manipulating us

00:30:39.840 because they know specifically.

00:30:42.280 Do you remember the argument was it was all atomized, right?

00:30:45.520 Wasn't that the argument that all the data is atomized

00:30:47.700 so you don't know who it is.

00:30:49.220 It's not personal.

00:30:50.660 It is personal.

00:30:51.840 They know all of us.

00:30:53.520 They know exactly how we think,

00:30:55.520 which leads you to, again, what I was saying earlier, the death of free will.

00:31:01.680 When these companies are so good at manipulating data and they are motivated by either political

00:31:09.840 motives, financial motives, just their own social motives, the algorithms search you out and go,

00:31:20.240 what is the best way to get that person to do A, B, or C? How do I get them to stand up and put a

00:31:28.940 Black Lives Matter black box on their social media? How do I get them to do that? Well, it 0.99

00:31:36.020 was crude in the past, but now it is becoming so subtle that you don't know it. You think you're

00:31:45.420 making an informed choice yourself, but are you or have you been manipulated so subtly by these

00:31:53.160 companies that they are pushing you one way or another? It is the combination of the highest

00:32:00.340 tech known to man to the point that most people don't even understand. It's magic to them. They

00:32:09.020 don't even understand what is possible with ai or agi okay have no idea it's it's the combination

00:32:19.580 of that and propaganda and then you mix the government with all of their social one way or

00:32:28.520 the other right or left all of their social programs all of their uh evil schemes in my

00:32:35.560 opinion, lots of them are, where they're just going to keep you down, they'll tell you.

00:32:40.880 Look at what happened with COVID. Look at COVID. The government made money because of a public

00:32:53.420 private partnership. They made money with these pharmaceutical companies. We showed you the

00:33:00.560 evidence. Jason, do you remember what it was? It was not a routing number, but it was the

00:33:06.900 instructions in the deal that they made with Pfizer and others on how to send them the

00:33:15.340 royalty shares for every vaccine that they made. We showed this on television. We had the

00:33:21.700 documentation. Did you get any of that? Did you get a dime of that? Did you ever hear about any

00:33:29.540 big advancement that we made on your behalf because of that? They hid that. Where'd that

00:33:36.480 money go? Now you want to give Bernie Sanders 50% of these AI companies, which would give them

00:33:44.660 a seat at the table, our government, a seat at the table of these AI companies?

00:33:51.300 not not on your life never not on your life you want to talk about power

00:33:58.380 uh that is unimaginable power that you'd be giving to the united states government

00:34:06.960 no no no no i don't know is any of this making sense ricky yeah i also think it's interesting

00:34:17.980 that Bernie Sanders, who has historically been very skeptical, putting it nicely, of

00:34:23.040 big tech, is suddenly finding a way to get into bed with them in a way that makes him

00:34:28.640 feel comfortable.

00:34:29.660 Right, because 50%, you have a seat on the board of directors.

00:34:34.700 And who is you?

00:34:35.300 Is it me, the tax payer?

00:34:37.160 No, it's Bernie Sanders or whoever the government appoints.

00:34:41.020 You'll never, you'll never, those people will never answer to you.

00:34:44.680 So it will be Bernie Sanders.

00:34:46.200 Can you imagine how far in the rearview mirror we would be if we had politicians on the board of directors of these tech companies where you had a 50% vote and voice in those tech companies on where and what should be done? 0.82

00:35:07.580 We will be the Soviet Union making the Zil, the worst car ever made, overnight. 0.92

00:35:14.500 There are so many things wrong with this plan, but he's right about property rights. 0.90

00:35:23.480 He's right about the destruction of jobs.

00:35:26.700 He's right.

00:35:27.340 You know, there is, I was going to do a monologue tomorrow.

00:35:30.840 Maybe I should do it today.

00:35:31.960 I don't know.

00:35:32.540 I was going to do a monologue on energy and these data centers.

00:35:39.340 I saw a protest in Logan, Utah over the weekend about data centers.

00:35:45.460 And I actually, somebody in the car may have been my son.

00:35:51.360 I think it was my son who was all excited, like, dad, these guys are absolutely right.

00:35:55.320 And I'm like, no, they're not, son.

00:35:56.380 No, they're not.

00:35:57.460 It feels right.

00:35:58.740 It feels right.

00:35:59.840 And they make good points.

00:36:02.160 But their solution is not right.

00:36:05.940 And that is the problem that we are going to be facing.

00:36:08.860 all of these things are going to come at you screaming down the highway at a hundred miles

00:36:15.020 an hour. And you're going to be like, oh my gosh, what about our water? What about our electricity?

00:36:19.680 I'm paying too much. What about my, what about my privacy? What about my job? All of these things

00:36:27.040 are going to come screaming down the highway. And unless you know your principles, you're going to

00:36:32.840 be on the wrong side. Because what the signs said, no, water is scarce. Water must be for people

00:36:45.340 first. Energy, our energy prices are already too expensive. Those are absolutely valid concerns

00:36:52.620 and they have to be addressed. But the principle will tell you, you don't stop progress.

00:37:02.840 You find a way to solve those problems, and you don't solve them.

00:37:07.960 You say, great, you want that land?

00:37:11.200 Here's what you have to do.

00:37:17.780 I have a no unless policy in my life.

00:37:27.000 I can say no to any idea.

00:37:30.220 Somebody can come up and say, hey, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:37:32.580 I'll listen to the idea. Okay. My answer is no, unless you do X, Y, and Z. If you can solve

00:37:44.000 these problems, if you can do these things, then I'm for it. Don't say no, say no, unless.

00:37:52.920 And that's what the protest on all of this stuff need to be about. No, no, no, no. Bernie, no,

00:38:00.260 unless it's about private property.

00:38:04.640 That negates half of your idea,

00:38:07.460 more than half of your idea.

00:38:09.040 But it gets to the real issue that people are thinking. 0.97

00:38:12.500 I'm being screwed here. 0.73

00:38:14.220 I'm losing my job. 0.98

00:38:15.680 And you've taken all of this stuff from me.

00:38:17.920 And now you've left me with nothing.

00:38:21.300 And you've built it on my back.

00:38:23.200 Okay, no, you're not going to do that

00:38:25.480 unless you solve the private property.

00:38:28.540 No, you're not going to build those data centers

00:38:30.560 unless you solve the electricity and the water problem.

00:38:34.220 And you are creating more than you're taking.

00:38:38.440 Solve those, and I'm in it.

00:38:41.240 Let's stop being against things.

00:38:43.420 Let's be for our principles,

00:38:45.060 because our principles will always lead the way out.

00:38:48.320 All right, back in just a second.

00:38:49.560 Let me tell you about American financing.

00:38:51.520 Man, I've got something to say 0.61

00:38:52.660 about those dummies in Yellowstone. 0.79

00:38:54.700 Gotta squeeze it in. 0.67

00:38:56.200 All right.

00:38:56.420 um it feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days i

00:39:02.660 mean you probably heard about all that by now there are a lot of commercials pretty much running

00:39:06.120 around the clock uh these results can be dramatic uh but for a lot of people you know giving

00:39:10.800 themselves a shot every week is suboptimal you know along with the potential side effects it's

00:39:16.020 not something that's really appealing to a lot of people it's one thing of course people do want to

00:39:20.480 lose weight um but you know do you really want to go that far you really want to use that do you

00:39:25.640 want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen i mean some people love that some people

00:39:29.640 are real needle fiends but most aren't i would say so the real question comes to you when you say 0.54

00:39:35.800 like well how if i want to keep losing weight if i want to start losing weight if i want to

00:39:39.840 maintain weight loss would i take a different approach and that's where lean comes in it's

00:40:29.700 or you're one of them daily expenses are ending up on the credit card i stood in a grocery store

00:40:35.760 this weekend i picked something up that i i don't know what it was oh my gosh but it was like four

00:40:41.000 dollars five dollars uh it might have been like i don't know a sprig of time or something my son

00:40:49.600 was going to cook dinner and he's like I need these fresh herbs and I'm like okay whatever

00:40:52.780 and I pick it up and it was like five bucks or six bucks and I'm like what that's outrageous

00:40:58.600 and I immediately turned around and I thought I looked at everybody in the store because I'm in

00:41:03.480 a small town of farmers and I'm like how are these people buying any of this stuff in the store this

00:41:09.560 is outrageously expensive well a lot of people are putting on their credit card and then what

00:41:14.660 happens. And then the credit card rate goes up and now you're stuck. And you don't, I mean,

00:41:20.000 look, American financing is here. They are designed to help you. If you have a home,

00:41:26.760 you have equity in your home. And I know you don't want to get into, you know, getting rid of your

00:41:31.240 mortgage because you most likely have a very good rate, but you need to pay off the high interest

00:41:36.440 debt. They have a way, a surgical strike against that kind of debt. And it doesn't have a

00:42:37.880 More Glenn Beck straight ahead.

00:42:41.400 Well, I got to tell you, today is the day to have the insider because the discussion just

00:43:07.200 keeps continuing while we're in commercials. Uh, and, um, and if you have the ability to, uh,

00:43:14.100 listen to the insider, you should, today's a great, a great reason because the conversation

00:43:37.200 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. 0.95

00:43:42.220 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:43:48.240 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

00:43:53.460 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:43:55.960 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:43:59.640 Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm

00:44:05.480 to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:44:08.440 This isn't a podcast.

00:44:09.780 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

00:44:13.260 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,

00:44:16.020 help us push this podcast to the top.

00:44:18.360 Rate, review, share.

00:44:19.980 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:44:22.020 And thanks for standing with us.

00:44:23.360 Now let's get to work.

00:44:24.280 We're living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about,

00:44:29.000 how it came to be, and we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history,

00:44:33.540 but that's not how it happened.

00:44:35.900 That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now.

00:44:39.940 This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was won,

00:44:44.820 before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol.

00:44:48.840 And it shows you the young man he really was.

00:44:51.120 Not perfect, not polished, but somebody who is shaped by failures, hard decisions, and courage,

00:44:57.080 and by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work.

00:45:00.340 Great leaders are not created in comfort.

00:45:02.460 They're forged when things are hard.

00:45:04.200 when stepping forward costs you something.

00:46:16.840 hello america from the mountain west in the standing rock ranch this is the glenn beck

00:46:25.300 program uh i want to talk to you about a few items in the news today trump and benjamin netanyahu

00:46:31.000 That phone call that, you know, some people are very upset about.

00:46:34.800 Some people are celebrating.

00:46:36.320 You know, let's just look at it for what it is.

00:46:38.540 And I'm going to tie this into something that happened on The View yesterday.

00:46:43.320 I'm not going to talk about The View, believe me.

00:46:45.180 But it was about Graham Plattner.

00:46:48.780 And it's important.

00:46:51.760 Why is that happening?

00:46:52.960 Why is he doing well?

00:46:54.300 What's happening in California today?

00:46:57.020 Do the Republicans even stand a chance in California?

00:47:01.000 uh i don't know but i want to talk to you about principles instead of politics principles because

00:47:08.360 once you learn learn your principles once you know what they are life all of a sudden becomes

00:47:13.020 so easy to manage and i think that's what we're all looking for a way to manage our lives so let

00:47:18.400 me take you through a couple of these things and explain in just a second first let me tell you

00:47:23.160 about our sponsor for 60 seconds the international fellowship of christians and jews sometimes we

00:47:27.840 read the word blessing so often that we forget what it really means. Blessing isn't something

00:47:32.800 we receive. It's something we're called to share. It's hard to bless yourself. I don't think you

00:47:38.000 really can bless yourself. You bless yourself by blessing someone else, giving food or shelter or

00:47:44.880 just love to somebody else. If God has given you peace, then can you bring peace of mind to

00:47:52.040 somebody else. You've got a storehouse of it. It's one of the reasons why I really admire the work of

00:47:58.560 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They help provide food and medical care,

00:48:02.840 emergency assistance, security, and other life-saving support to vulnerable people all

00:48:06.660 across Israel and the world. But more than that, they are also trying to help with peace of mind.

00:48:15.500 You know, in the name of the shared bond between Christians and Jews, sometimes God blesses us so

00:48:21.420 we can be a blessing to somebody else. And that might just be hope, a simple prayer, a few words

00:48:27.600 that will lift the spirit of somebody facing uncertainty and isolation. This is when support

00:48:34.000 of the Jewish people really matters. Go to prayifcj.org, prayifcj.org. Submit your prayer today,

00:48:40.700 prayifcj.org. All right. I want to get back to this Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump thing a little

00:48:49.520 later on the program, but let me just cover it quickly here. So yesterday, a story came out that

00:48:54.800 Benjamin Netanyahu got on the phone with Donald Trump, and there was a screaming match. And he

00:49:00.020 just, you know, using all kinds of foul language and saying, Benjamin Netanyahu, you're a madman, 1.00

00:49:06.160 crazy man, you're going to stop it right now, blah, blah, blah. And so I'm really, I'm shocked 0.99

00:49:10.560 by the reaction. I'm confused, I should say, by the reaction. Some people are saying this was

00:49:15.900 horrible this was national security and that should never come out um and we need to find

00:49:21.440 the leaker i'll get to that in a second um and the other side is like uh you know finally donald

00:49:27.800 trump is standing up to israel well donald trump has always stood up to israel for the love of pete

00:49:32.700 do you not know who he is now by by now so let me show you how knowing principles solve problems

00:49:39.980 what are donald trump's principles and some people say he doesn't have any principles he does he has

00:49:44.940 a few principles. He loves the American people. He loves America. We know that. And his principle

00:49:54.740 is America first. You may not always agree with the way he gets there, but he is one of the first 0.56

00:50:00.300 presidents that I've ever seen that I don't believe he's making bad deals to enrich him and

00:50:06.040 his family or his party or whatever. He's making the deal that he believes is right for the American

00:50:11.600 people. That's one of his principles. The second principle that he has is negotiation. He is a

00:50:18.440 negotiator. And you can find all of his strategies and his principles in the book, The Art of the

00:50:24.520 Deal. So let me talk to you, bring those two things back to Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu

00:50:31.020 gets on the phone. He's doing something President Trump doesn't like. He's in charge of the

00:50:36.760 relationship, okay? And he takes Benjamin Netanyahu on. The reason why I know this is the way he

00:50:42.660 always is is because Donald Trump doesn't roll over for anyone. If he disagrees with you or he

00:50:48.840 thinks you're hurting what he's trying to do in America, he's going to take you on. I don't care

00:50:53.120 who you are, Benjamin Netanyahu or not. So anybody who says that Benjamin Netanyahu is controlling

00:50:58.920 Donald Trump, it's not true. If you don't like what Donald Trump did because he looked at the

00:51:05.260 facts that israel was giving and he's like okay then i have to do this then your problem is with

00:51:10.120 him not not benjamin netanyahu okay um anybody who says this was leaked this was not leaked

00:51:17.500 this was not leaked this they're not looking for the leaker today i can guarantee you

00:51:21.080 this is strategy this is part of the art of the deal this kind of goes back to you know the other

00:51:28.220 day he said and i don't really don't care about i'm kind of bored by the negotiation why the hell

00:51:32.720 would you say that? Because he's not sending the message to the American people like we think he

00:51:38.800 is. He's sending it to the people in Iran. I'm kind of bored with you. I don't really care that 0.72

00:51:44.220 much. Why is he saying that? Because he knows they think that he's panicked about you and gas prices.

00:51:52.620 So he's got to rub this off as like, that doesn't even bother me. I haven't even thought about the

00:51:58.160 gas prices and I'm kind of bored with this whole thing. I've been working on other things.

00:52:02.720 he's got to send that message to them, not to you.

00:52:07.240 So once you understand negotiation and his principles,

00:52:10.960 things begin to become a little easier to understand.

00:52:15.120 Let me show you, there's a story

00:52:17.440 that will make your head explode from Nantucket. 0.84

00:52:19.540 It's a story of just great ignorance from Nantucket.

00:52:23.520 For 25 years, there was a church in Nantucket

00:52:26.460 that read the Declaration of Independence,

00:52:28.180 the Bill of Rights allowed at their service

00:52:31.500 every 4th of July. This year, the leaders canceled this tradition, and their reason was

00:52:38.040 because the founding, I'm quoting, the founding documents were bound up with the ideas of

00:52:42.920 whiteness and has been applied unequally across American history.

00:52:51.420 Okay, ignorance. Let me begin at the beginning. Let's begin on what is true.

00:52:59.660 the church is right about one thing and it's not a small thing the promises of america were never

00:53:05.920 applied equally never slavery was written into law the south with jim crow followed emancipation 0.56

00:53:13.460 the chinese exclusion act of 1882 shut the door by race women live for generations without you

00:53:20.460 know after the founders died without the vote treaties with native uh nations were signed and

00:53:26.260 broken over and over again.

00:53:27.660 Any account of the founding

00:53:30.040 and our country's history

00:53:32.080 that waves these facts away

00:53:34.300 is not patriotism, 1.00

00:53:35.680 it's amnesia and stupidity. 1.00

00:53:38.840 Now, with that said, 1.00

00:53:42.820 concede the whole indictment here.

00:53:46.320 And you're left with the one question

00:53:48.560 the church never asked.

00:53:51.680 When Americans tried to end those injustices,

00:53:56.260 What tool did they reach for?

00:53:59.300 Did they get a philosophy imported from Europe?

00:54:05.760 Well, they didn't reach for the rejection of the founding, I'll tell you that.

00:54:09.480 They reached for the founding itself.

00:54:12.620 In 1852, Frederick Douglass stood before an audience in Rochester

00:54:16.460 and was asked what the 4th of July meant to the slave.

00:54:20.800 His answer was merciless.

00:54:23.180 You should read it.

00:54:23.840 he called the celebration a sham and the nation uh its boasted liberty was an insult to the man

00:54:31.760 in chains okay that's where i'm sure the church would like to leave that read the whole speech

00:54:39.120 and you'll find what the church seems to have forgotten douglas didn't attack the declaration

00:54:45.500 he attacked America and Americans for betraying it.

00:54:51.340 He called the principles in the Declaration of Independence the saving ones.

00:54:57.860 He was trying to hold the country to those principles.

00:55:01.320 The abolitionist who damned the Constitution as a covenant with slavery,

00:55:06.540 Douglass argued the exact opposite.

00:55:09.900 He read it honestly.

00:55:11.760 He said, this is a charter of liberty,

00:55:13.420 A document the enslaved can claim as their own.

00:55:17.040 Four years earlier, 1848, women who gathered in Seneca Falls,

00:55:23.740 they didn't write a manifesto against the Declaration of Independence.

00:55:27.360 They rewrote it.

00:55:29.080 We hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:55:32.160 Their Declaration of Sentiments begins that all men and women are created equal.

00:55:37.880 They didn't discard Jefferson's words.

00:55:40.240 They finished his words.

00:55:43.420 Gettysburg, Lincoln, he didn't describe a nation that was founded on contradiction.

00:55:50.060 He described one, quote, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

00:55:56.200 And then he asked the living to be worthy of that.

00:56:01.960 There is a private fragment that he once likened the declaration to an apple of gold

00:56:08.880 and the constitution and the union to a frame of silver that was built around it he said yes

00:56:15.960 the frame of silver is precious but it only exists to protect the apple not the other way around

00:56:22.240 martin luther king he stood at the lincoln memorial he didn't call the declaration a lie

00:56:29.060 he called it a promissory note a check the nation had written to every citizen and then stamped

00:56:35.980 insufficient funds for its black citizens he said he had come to washington to cash the check

00:56:43.620 he didn't tear up the promise he wanted the promise to be honored do you see the pattern 0.96

00:56:49.440 every single time we've had massive problems people who wanted to fix the problem stood

00:56:56.720 on the documents not against the documents and that distinction changes everything

00:57:02.000 It shows you what the real goal is.

00:57:05.880 It's worth getting the philosophy right because the church has blurred it.

00:57:11.400 And so do most of the documents defenders.

00:57:14.740 The three documents don't say the same thing.

00:57:18.740 And they don't ground rights in the same place.

00:57:22.500 The Declaration makes the moral claim.

00:57:25.820 Rights don't come from kings, the Congress, Parliament, or anybody else, or majorities.

00:57:30.320 they are unalienable and they're endowed by a creator which is to say they exist long before

00:57:38.620 any government could stand above it read that creator as god as nature or you know plain

00:57:46.200 dignity of a human nature however okay but the radical move is identical no matter how you read

00:57:53.040 that the state doesn't grant your rights so the state can't rightfully revoke them

00:57:58.900 Now, the Constitution makes the structural claim.

00:58:02.340 Notice the Constitution doesn't invoke God.

00:58:04.900 It forbids any religious test for office.

00:58:08.420 This is only a machine for restraining power.

00:58:12.900 Enumerated authorities, divided branches, checks against every faction, including the majority.

00:58:19.100 That's what the Constitution does.

00:58:21.040 The Constitution, the Declaration says you have rights as an individual, they come from God.

00:58:26.580 then the constitution says we have to protect the rights of the individual and we're restraining

00:58:35.900 ourselves as a government and then the bill of rights comes in to the defensive claim

00:58:41.880 it its grammar gives its purpose away congress shall make no law dot dot dot it doesn't hand

00:58:52.100 rights down. It fences government off from the rights of the people that they already hold.

00:58:58.660 The Ninth Amendment says it really plainly. The rights listed are not the only ones that are

00:59:05.500 mentioned here. You retain all kinds of rights that aren't listed. Some founders even feared

00:59:12.080 that writing the Bill of Rights might wrongly imply the government was their source. But here's

00:59:19.880 where honesty makes the argument stronger, not weaker. Let's be honest. The Constitution did not

00:59:30.220 arrive cleanly. It didn't. While some of it is misunderstood, for instance, it counted people

00:59:40.800 enslaved as three-fifths of a person, not to inflate the power, but to deflate the power of

00:59:46.860 those who held them. So it was trying, but it didn't do it. It didn't abolish it. It abolished

00:59:51.740 the import of slaves, made it illegal. The Northwest Ordinance came in and made the

00:59:57.900 introduction of slavery into new states illegal, but it didn't abolish it. So it's tainted. It is.

01:00:04.920 But it shielded the slave trade for 20 years. Later on, the one thing that ignited the Civil 0.86

01:00:13.560 War, it forced free states to return slaves that had escaped and were free men now.

01:00:22.900 The framers were uneasy with this. They were, honestly, in this sense, they were progressives.

01:00:29.080 They were trying to move without a war and a revolution, a second revolution. They were

01:00:35.040 trying to end this by convincing people that we need to end this, but it wasn't ending,

01:00:40.480 And it just kept going on and on and on.

01:00:44.240 And they evaded words like slavery, burying it in euphemisms, you know, the knowledge that property and men had no place in charter or liberty.

01:00:58.500 Okay, so the critics are not wrong.

01:01:01.060 The documents are compromised.

01:01:02.680 But what they miss is that it was built to be corrected.

01:01:07.700 and then they even were humble enough to say we don't have all of the answers here and so they

01:01:13.660 provided a standard for correcting it it it's called the amendment process and when the reckoning

01:01:20.000 came americans didn't throw the document away they amended it just like our founders said look

01:01:26.480 you're going to be smarter than us you're going to be wiser than us you are going to have new ideas

01:01:32.000 you've got this is why we're going to make this thing living you can amend it amendment you don't

01:01:37.860 reinterpret it that's not a living constitution that's a bastardization of it it's living because

01:01:44.540 you can amendment the 13th ended slavery the 14th guaranteed equal protection the 15th secured the

01:01:50.220 votes using the founder's own machinery their own creed to repair the founder's own sin and this is

01:01:59.960 what the churches miss entirely. This one in Nantucket, how do you call yourself a church if

01:02:04.780 you don't understand this? Really, honestly. The documents didn't cause the injustice. I feel bad

01:02:10.940 for you because you're living in self-imposed ignorance. You can find this. This is really easy. 0.91

01:02:16.900 Slavery was exposed. The documents were meant to cure the disease. They were the standards by which

01:02:26.940 the disease was named and the instrument by which it was cut out.

01:02:32.280 And if you don't have a fixed standard,

01:02:35.980 well, then your standard is whoever holds power today.

01:02:41.220 And that's very dangerous.

01:02:47.720 We need to learn our own documents.

01:02:51.380 We need to know them.

01:02:57.800 Because if we don't, truth becomes factional, and justice becomes selective, and history becomes a weapon.

01:03:04.420 And that's where we are right now.

01:03:07.400 That's why the church in Nantucket, it makes them smaller by refusing to read the words.

01:03:13.000 The words don't need reading, okay?

01:03:16.060 We need to read the words.

01:03:19.280 Because the Declaration gave us the promise, the Constitution built the structure, and the Bill of Rights built the guardrails.

01:03:24.460 read them teach them defend them live by them it's the only way they'll ever belong to anyone at all

01:03:33.900 and those words belong to all of us and they are words of freedom not oppression back in just a

01:03:41.940 second let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's real estate agents i trust um you know

01:03:48.340 nobody would hire a surgeon the way some people hire a real estate agent you know i don't know i

01:03:52.140 had a good person i needed a heart surgeon and a friend of mine said he was pretty good did

01:03:56.600 something for them or you saw their face on a billboard you know you'd want to know everything

01:04:02.480 about them their experience the track record their reputation what they've successfully helped people

01:04:06.820 in situations like yours how they've done it when it comes to buying or selling a home which is one

01:04:11.680 of the biggest financial decisions it is heart surgery on your financial situation okay um most

01:04:19.140 people don't do investigation. We do investigation. You do more investigation when you buy a

01:04:24.080 refrigerator than when you hire a real estate agent, most likely. I wanted to create a way for

01:04:29.820 people to connect with agents who had already proven themselves through experience, the results,

01:04:34.760 the commitment to serving their clients really, really well. So check out the collection of people

01:04:38.900 that we have vetted six ways to Sunday. They will help you buy or sell a home even in this tough

01:04:43.780 market. And the name says it all. It's realestateagentsitrust.com. That's real estate agents

01:04:48.260 It's itrust.com.

01:04:50.740 10 seconds, station ID.

01:05:05.500 We have been lied to over and over again.

01:05:08.760 And because of that, we don't trust anybody.

01:05:12.720 We don't know how to find the truth anymore.

01:05:15.520 and we're going to AI more and more

01:05:17.680 to tell us the truth,

01:05:19.240 that AI doesn't know the truth.

01:05:22.760 You have to search this out for yourself

01:05:25.140 and then even question AI.

01:05:27.360 Question everything with boldness

01:05:29.080 to know the truth.

01:05:30.340 But once you know certain things,

01:05:32.800 like just knowing that about Frederick Douglass,

01:05:36.760 that he believed this was a charter of freedom.

01:05:39.120 At first, he thought it was horrible.

01:05:41.320 He said all the things 1.00

01:05:42.560 that Black Lives Matter people say 0.99

01:05:44.060 about the Constitution. 0.54

01:05:45.520 He said that all of it. And then I think it was Lincoln, maybe a friend of Lincoln said,

01:05:51.520 have you read it? And he went back and he studied it and he read it and he was like, oh my gosh.

01:05:56.660 And that's why he was chastising the people. Our problem is not with the documents. Our problem

01:06:03.620 is with the people. We are here to say to the government, you're supposed to write this check.

01:06:14.060 You've been writing checks that bounce all the time.

01:06:17.220 We demand that you start writing it from the correct account.

01:06:22.460 But if you don't know the system, you don't know what it is all really about, you can't defend it and you'll just get lost.

01:06:32.140 That's why we're doing our summer of 250 now with the torch.

01:06:35.140 We are teaching the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Declaration this summer.

01:06:41.160 Well, the 10 Bill of Rights,

01:06:42.840 we start there in ways you've never learned before.

01:06:45.620 It's all this summer, begins next week.

01:06:48.060 Join us, glenbeck.com slash torch, glenbeck.com slash torch.

01:06:53.440 Join us on our mission to save the republic

01:06:56.980 and change the course of the free world again.

01:07:00.700 All right, let me tell you about Legacy Box.

01:07:02.620 Becoming a parent changes the way you think of memories.

01:07:05.460 You know, all of a sudden, you know,

01:07:07.020 little things matter more.

01:07:08.040 The birthday parties, the family vacations,

01:07:09.620 the moments that didn't seem so important, you know, at the time, but somehow become priceless

01:07:14.020 years later. It also makes you think about your own childhood because chances are there are boxes

01:08:13.820 coming up did the ladies on the view actually denounce Graham Patner

01:08:17.840 Glenn says not so fast and reveals the three-letter word going to republic

01:08:32.240 I want to talk to you, continue to talk to you about the principles that we all hold.

01:08:52.980 And when you know the principles and you know a few things you just have to remember,

01:08:59.400 life becomes so easy.

01:09:00.760 Let me give you an example here. Yesterday, Sonny Hostin from The View said something that jumped out to me today as I was preparing the show because it demonstrates a very clear principle.

01:09:16.300 Okay. She started to attack Graham Plattner, the guy who was the Nazi tattoo, whatever. That guy, she began to attack him. And it's not what she said on the attack. It's what she actually ended up confessing. Listen.

01:09:35.080 I am conflicted.

01:09:36.620 They asked Cory Booker how he felt about this

01:09:38.660 because I think all the allegations are true. 0.96

01:09:40.860 The sexting with other women while married 0.94

01:09:42.640 is definitely true because his wife 0.96

01:09:44.320 is the person that gave the messages

01:09:46.820 to his campaign to give them a heads up.

01:09:49.300 So the fact now that he's saying

01:09:50.500 that that part is not true.

01:09:50.880 I don't think she gave messages.

01:09:51.900 I think she said that he had,

01:09:53.940 that he, she told campaign.

01:09:57.180 But we haven't seen messages.

01:09:58.500 But she disclosed it.

01:09:59.860 So why would she lie about that?

01:10:02.680 So that part is true.

01:10:03.800 So he's also made racist remarks against African-Americans. 0.98

01:10:07.920 So he's a cheater, he's an anti-Semite 0.97

01:10:11.480 because the fact that he had that tattoo for 20 years 0.96

01:10:14.800 and didn't know what it was is a lie. 1.00

01:10:17.560 So he's a liar, a racist, an anti-Semite. 1.00

01:10:20.560 Homophobe. 1.00

01:10:21.400 He's a homophobe.

01:10:22.480 So he's all the things, and character does matter.

01:10:25.820 But we have someone that has almost unbridled power

01:10:32.080 in the White House at this point.

01:10:33.640 There are no checks and balances.

01:10:36.420 And the only way that we can maybe bring a bit of our democracy back

01:10:41.000 is by having a Congress that functions and that has these checks and balances.

01:10:45.340 And I do think one of the only ways is to win that seat in Maine.

01:10:49.420 And so I, like Cory Booker said, this is a concern, but our country is in grave, grave parallel.

01:10:56.220 There are other paths.

01:10:58.860 Okay.

01:11:00.140 I want you to write something down.

01:11:02.140 And I just want you to post this in front of you, okay?

01:11:09.460 Everything before you say but is what you actually believe.

01:11:15.220 Everything after is what you're willing to trade it for, okay?

01:11:19.940 Let me show you. 1.00

01:11:21.220 He's a liar. 1.00

01:11:22.060 He's a racist. 1.00

01:11:22.960 He's an anti-Semite. 1.00

01:11:24.080 He's a homophobe. 1.00

01:11:24.940 He's all of those things.

01:11:26.940 And then, to her credit, she uses the right words.

01:11:29.720 Character does matter.

01:11:31.640 But then the most dangerous word in American politics or human existence, but.

01:11:37.380 We need the seat.

01:11:38.900 We need the checks and balances.

01:11:41.020 And in Maine, this is how we get power back.

01:11:43.380 So let me say it again.

01:11:45.220 Everything you say before but, everything she just said before is what she actually believes.

01:11:51.940 Everything after the but is what she's willing to trade it for.

01:11:56.760 Okay?

01:11:56.980 And everything after but is where republics go to die.

01:12:01.640 I believe in freedom of speech, but hate speech.

01:12:05.400 So we have to.

01:12:07.000 I believe in freedom of speech, but COVID, we have to silence.

01:12:13.080 Okay?

01:12:13.900 Here's the formula.

01:12:16.720 What you actually believe, then introduce a, but introduce a big, big problem, and then

01:12:24.000 show how you're going to sell out all your beliefs.

01:12:26.400 Okay?

01:12:27.220 I believe in the free market system, but I had to violate the free market to save the

01:12:31.180 free market that doesn't make any sense i believe in the constitution but times are so tough we have

01:12:36.140 to do some other no no stop with butts what is it you believe okay

01:12:43.980 sit with what she actually told you she said she didn't say i'm not sure about his record

01:12:51.360 she said he is by her own account one of the worst human beings she described couldn't describe a 0.97

01:12:57.340 liar a racist a bigot cruel anti-semite and in the very same breath she says i'm gonna we need 0.99

01:13:06.660 to hand him power think about how insane that is you don't lock the doors at night and then hand 0.99

01:13:12.020 the keys to the man you just described as the reason you lock your doors at night if you truly

01:13:17.740 believe someone is all those things then there is exactly one honest conclusion keep him as far away

01:13:26.080 from power as humanly possible the only way to get to but the only way is if power has quietly

01:13:36.300 become more important than your principles that if power actually is not what you believe or

01:13:42.920 power is not what you believe in or is what you believe in and not the things you said before the

01:13:48.100 because that makes more sense look we need power we need power and he's all of these things

01:13:58.380 so we will elect him

01:14:01.240 that's what she actually said and you know most people don't even notice this

01:14:09.080 let me make this really really simple here you and your wife need a babysitter

01:14:15.060 and you call me up and you say listen this guy lies about everything he's a bigot he's cruel

01:14:22.940 his character is a disaster I don't even know I mean he could be sketchy with kids 0.51

01:14:29.940 what would you say if I called you up and said that what would you say to me Glenn what the

01:14:36.200 hell is wrong with you why would you let him anywhere near your kids and imagine I said

01:14:40.860 Well, I agree with you. He's all those things, but Tanya and I just really need a night out.

01:14:47.300 You would think I'm out of my mind because character is not a footnote on the resume.

01:14:55.100 With your children, character is the resume. It's not the side issue. It is the issue.

01:15:03.120 And it doesn't stop being the issue just because we traded the nursery for the capital.

01:15:10.860 I have diagnosed disease here in this chair for so long

01:15:17.500 and tell you the things that we should be standing up against.

01:15:21.740 I am trying really hard to show you the things we should stand up and be for

01:15:27.060 because I think if you want to save the republic, this is what we need to do.

01:15:33.500 We need to define not what we're against.

01:15:35.940 We got it.

01:15:37.060 We need to articulate what we're for and fight for those things.

01:15:44.080 Otherwise, we're going to get stuck in the, yeah, yeah, yeah, all those things are important,

01:15:47.600 but I'm for leaders that I want to be proud to explain to my 10-year-old kid. 1.00

01:15:55.180 Not, yeah, he's a jerk, but he's our jerk. 1.00

01:15:57.640 I want to be proud of them. 1.00

01:15:59.280 Full stop.

01:16:01.800 That's going to be hard.

01:16:04.040 It's going to be really hard.

01:16:06.500 I'm for the boring virtues, like telling the truth when a lie would win.

01:16:13.660 Keeping your word when breaking it would be easier.

01:16:18.060 Restraint when you have the power to show no restraint.

01:16:23.540 I'm for the kind of citizen who would rather lose an election with a clear conscience than win one,

01:16:29.320 rather than launder their soul.

01:16:31.620 here's what cynics never understand character was never the obstacle to the mission character

01:16:41.040 is the mission the whole point of self-government is to be the kind of people who can be trusted to

01:16:49.040 govern themselves so if we start saying i believe these things but i'm going to do this we'll never

01:16:55.180 be the people that can govern ourselves. We can't. You'll never get that back. The moment we decide

01:17:04.480 we can skip the part that has principles, if the stakes are high enough, then we've already lost

01:17:10.960 the only thing worth winning. I am not lecturing to the Democrats alone. We have a very long way

01:17:18.880 to go on this. But our founders understood this better than we do. John Adams said the

01:17:24.540 Constitution is made for a moral and religious people, wholly inadequate for a government of

01:17:31.800 any other. He wasn't saying everybody join a church. He was telling us something really,

01:17:39.060 really super useful. The machinery only works if the people running it have brakes on the inside.

01:17:47.340 i want you to think of our country

01:17:53.760 of the republic like a ship we have checks and balances right what is that checks and balances

01:18:04.680 are the rudder the checks and balances help steer okay but character is the anchor

01:18:12.860 and it holds you in place

01:18:16.140 when the storm wants to throw you on the rocks.

01:18:18.560 You lose the rudder and you'll drift.

01:18:21.540 You lose the anchor and you're a danger

01:18:24.540 to everybody on board.

01:18:28.780 She wants to fix the rudder by hiring a man

01:18:32.040 who swears, she swears, has no anchor.

01:18:37.240 You can't reform a system by handing it to somebody

01:18:40.040 that you've just described as the reason

01:18:42.320 the whole system has failed. But once you let but win, watch what happens. Because it never stops

01:18:49.940 at one trade. Never. Today, it's ease awful, but we need the seat. Then truth becomes negotiable.

01:18:57.880 Justice becomes negotiable. The difference between an ally and a decent human being become

01:19:02.720 negotiable. You start out saying, we have to do this to save democracy, but you end up discovering

01:19:09.700 that you spent every democratic virtue you had

01:19:12.680 and the receipts still in your pocket.

01:19:15.920 And history has a long list of people

01:19:18.800 who said, but, but, but, but, but

01:19:20.480 with total sincerity, okay?

01:19:23.040 The French revolutionaries,

01:19:24.700 they insisted the cause was too pure

01:19:27.820 for the methods to matter.

01:19:31.040 Yeah, it doesn't matter.

01:19:32.100 This is a pure, we got to get rid of the king.

01:19:34.460 Look at what's happening.

01:19:35.860 What happened?

01:19:36.540 The guillotine. 1.00

01:19:37.260 because they had a butt. 0.94

01:19:40.860 Lenin started the idea, hired Stalin 0.96

01:19:44.380 because I believe in all of these things.

01:19:47.440 I believe in the people, but there's some bad people.

01:19:50.220 Millions dead.

01:19:52.420 Very respectable man in 1933 in Germany. 0.89

01:19:57.760 They figured we'll put a really dangerous Nazi 0.88

01:20:01.140 in as chancellor, okay? 0.70

01:20:04.340 Because he's going to be easy to pull strings on, okay?

01:20:09.200 We can craft him.

01:20:10.400 We can control him because we need to have this power.

01:20:14.260 If we don't have this power, the whole thing could fall apart, okay? 0.83

01:20:17.740 So guess which one met Mr. Hitler's bullet in the head? 0.85

01:20:22.940 The people who made that compromise. 0.85

01:20:25.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know about him.

01:20:27.040 But that's the whole point.

01:20:29.480 If you think the emergency is so big that just in this one case, character can wait, character never waits.

01:20:38.800 It just leaves.

01:20:43.880 So here's a question I want you to ask yourself.

01:20:46.320 I want you to start listening to people who say what they believe and then the but and follow it with what they'll sell their beliefs for, okay?

01:20:57.160 and pay particular attention to you.

01:21:01.760 But the other question is the difference between a healthy republic

01:21:04.920 and a sick republic.

01:21:07.680 A healthy republic says, is this person worthy of power?

01:21:13.920 A sick republic says, can this person get us power?

01:21:19.520 That's the entire ballgame in two sentences.

01:21:22.880 That's it.

01:21:23.440 the view asked the question

01:21:27.100 they didn't even flinch

01:21:29.880 and the audience cheered

01:21:31.960 I'm asking you

01:21:35.560 to be the kind of person

01:21:37.280 and to demand the kind of leaders

01:21:40.000 who can only ever bring themselves

01:21:43.180 to ask the first one

01:21:45.480 be the anchor

01:21:47.840 hold the line on boring virtues

01:21:50.740 when the world is screaming

01:21:53.080 that this time, just this once,

01:21:55.920 that those virtues won't count.

01:21:58.740 Throw out the declaration.

01:22:00.300 Throw out the Bill of Rights.

01:22:01.980 Throw out.

01:22:02.520 You can't do that.

01:22:04.760 Because the day you stop counting,

01:22:09.800 the day you stop counting

01:22:11.680 and counting on those principles as an anchor

01:22:18.240 is the day you'll find out that the rudder and the anchor

01:22:22.080 we're the only thing really holding the ship together. And there is no butt big enough

01:22:27.560 to bring those back once they're lost. Back in a minute. 1.00

01:22:35.400 Sponsor of this half hour is American Giant. You know, dads are hard to shop for. You know,

01:23:51.880 That still counts for something.

01:23:53.880 Back. We'll be right back.

01:24:16.880 so you know jason and i were just talking with the insiders um graham plattner

01:24:25.100 is who we were talking about here and you know it's you know what you believe

01:24:30.860 then you put in the but name the problem uh and then you'll end up with everything but what you

01:24:39.860 believe okay it's what you will sell your beliefs out for because of the problem that's what's

01:24:44.900 happening in maine that is what was happening with the view they said he's horrible he's a racist 0.97

01:24:49.860 he's a bigot he's a homophobe he's an anti-semite he's cruel but we need to win this election okay 1.00

01:24:58.740 um people are thinking that he's going to fall apart because of the sex scandals i guess with 1.00

01:25:07.700 his wife uh it's not that's not going to happen it's not going to happen unless you find out

01:25:12.400 something like he was, you know, Jeffrey Epstein kind of guy. Um, but that doesn't matter. That is

01:25:18.500 a lack of principles. Okay. He has a lack of character when it comes to honesty with his

01:25:25.340 family. Plattner's problem is bigger than a lack. It's the principles he does hold

01:25:34.100 an anti-Semite 0.55

01:25:35.900 flirting with Nazism 0.96

01:25:37.780 you know 0.99

01:25:39.880 a homophobe

01:25:41.760 the things that he does

01:25:43.860 believe are the problems

01:25:45.280 those are what everybody should be talking about

01:25:47.900 not the sex scandal

01:25:49.200 that is a lack of character

01:25:50.900 but maybe we should spend

01:25:53.840 a few more minutes looking at what his

01:25:55.820 character actually is

01:25:58.180 what are the things he actually

01:25:59.960 believes those are the real problems

01:26:01.960 we're just a few months out from the midterms now and you know i know the results from that

01:26:20.300 might be not maybe not what we want could be i mean it is really to me this is a coin toss at

01:26:25.600 this point it seemed really bad and now it might seem like maybe the country wakes up through some

01:26:30.900 of this stuff i don't know it's important to realize that change can happen and it can happen

01:26:36.380 for the better and that kind of change comes from you and me if you are in a fight against leftism

01:26:41.720 and you want the republic you want the constitution and the declaration to rule supreme

01:26:46.880 then we have to do everything we can and one of those things you can do is change your mobile

01:28:55.440 election day in california i want to go over because there's some things that i i don't really

01:29:12.380 that here in just a second first let me tell you about pre-born when an unexpected pregnancy

01:29:16.360 happens most of the attention naturally falls on mom understandable but father's day is a good

01:29:20.840 reminder there's an expectant dad that is uh in that equation as well sometimes he's overwhelmed

01:29:26.320 and scared and wondering whether he's ready for the responsibility that is suddenly in front of

01:29:30.380 him it's one reason why the work of pre-born is so important pre-born does not just provide free

01:29:36.020 ultrasounds they provide encouragement counseling resources and hope to expectant parents both mom

01:29:42.320 and dad who feel like their world has been turned upside down one father named john he described

01:29:48.480 feeling completely unprepared for the idea of becoming a dad but they went into a pre-born

01:29:53.680 clinic he saw his baby on the ultrasound and he said something changed for the first time he began

01:29:58.400 to believe i could be a dad today you can help another father experience that same amount of

01:30:03.760 hope for 28 bucks sponsor an ultrasound through pre-born and help expectant parents see a future

01:30:09.440 filled with life and compassion and the hope of god's love donate just dial pound 250 say the

01:30:14.620 keyword baby it's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash beck that's preborn.com

01:30:19.660 slash beck sponsored by preborn all right let me uh look at the um the primaries here

01:30:25.840 xavier uh becerra who was the california ag which wow what a bang-up job there and then he became

01:30:33.820 the HHS secretary under Biden. Again, what a resume, huh? He is now leading in the polls

01:30:43.000 for the California governor's race, which again, the primary is happening today.

01:30:49.660 This came on suddenly and unexpectedly, and no one knows why. Ricky, what is the speculation here?

01:30:58.340 I am quoting from the LA Times, not really known for being a conservative rag.

01:31:04.820 Here is the headline, the mystery behind Becerra leapfrogging over his rivals in the California

01:31:10.120 governor's race.

01:31:11.160 Just a few months ago, he was at 5% in the polls, and now he's leading.

01:31:16.920 And remember, this is a jungle primary.

01:31:19.240 So it's whoever of all the candidates leads the top two, then goes on to the race in November.

01:31:25.920 here's another quote that's so both his loyal supporters and well-financed critics have a hard

01:31:32.300 time explaining his rapid ascent with theories ranging from outright luck to a nefarious social

01:31:38.540 media push this is from the la times um a lot of people also remember this is the same baby bully

01:31:46.660 i say that when he was doing an interview with a ktla reporter uh he immediately started the

01:31:53.940 interview by saying this is not going to be a gotcha interview right because you know why

01:31:57.640 he's used to being treated with kid gloves when he was a covid tyrant under biden

01:32:02.060 wow you know it coming from the la times that says something because if it was coming from

01:32:09.900 you know a conservative source or something i would be more apt to believe look he's kind of

01:32:15.840 a biden guy and i know that sounds bad to a lot of people but in california maybe democrats like

01:32:21.560 that he's kind of a know nothing you know did really nothing forget about covid because they

01:32:27.540 liked covid um and just not the crazy tom steyer and so maybe they were just like you know what

01:32:34.980 i'm just gonna go he's almost the the unknown candidate in a way you know what i mean you know

01:32:41.860 him but it's like what people buy when they bought biden they bought biden because they thought he

01:32:47.540 be harmless and so they're like yeah maybe we'll just have somebody in there who's just a you know

01:32:52.580 a harmless kind of guy um so maybe but i mean that coming from the la times does not seem good 0.63

01:32:58.760 um especially when you find out that the race is not we're not going to know tonight we're not

01:33:04.320 going to know tonight because uh um they uh also have mail-in ballots and those are going to be

01:33:11.240 coming in for several days uh and so they'll just keep counting they'll just keep counting

01:33:18.240 good news is steve hilton has a chance to advance to november but sarah is 25 nobody's going to get

01:33:26.160 50 but sarah has 20 in the polls he leads 23 to 25 um steve hilton the republican who i love

01:33:35.760 22 percent and then tom steyer is in third and he has 15 to 20 percent so i mean hilton could be

01:33:45.920 you know i mean it's going to come down to two two candidates uh and it could be steve hilton

01:33:51.500 being this the second candidate which would be remarkable remarkable tell me about the mayor's

01:33:58.620 race in uh los angeles spencer pratt they haven't been able to nail him down but some polls show him

01:34:07.100 leading karen bass yeah um you've got karen bass neetha raman and spencer pratt and he's they're

01:34:16.240 showing him about in third place or tied with neetha um you probably have a lot of people who

01:34:22.800 are being polled and not answering honestly because oh my gosh it's verboten to be a republican

01:34:28.400 in L.A. and to vote Republican,

01:34:30.880 this would break everything.

01:34:32.700 Although Spencer has said,

01:34:34.040 I'm not a party.

01:34:36.320 I have no labels.

01:34:37.840 I just want to fix the city.

01:34:40.120 So this, I mean, you've got creators

01:34:42.240 like the California liberal entourage creator

01:34:46.640 who were even coming out and doubling down.

01:34:49.940 Yeah.

01:34:50.280 I have a clip of Doug Ellen.

01:34:51.940 This is the person she was just talking about.

01:34:53.640 He is the producer of Entourage.

01:34:56.340 Okay.

01:34:56.460 So, you know, he's not he's not coming, you know, from the Reagan library.

01:35:02.480 Listen to what he said about the the situation in L.A.

01:35:08.740 Hey, L.A. Times Gaslighters.

01:35:10.880 It's weird.

01:35:11.820 One of 15 cameras that I now have at this house, two German shepherds, three legal guns five years ago.

01:35:17.000 Didn't lock a door here.

01:35:18.140 But you know what happened?

01:35:19.600 Two animals invaded my house.

01:35:21.700 And no, I'm not racist because they were wearing masks. 0.94

01:35:24.320 I don't know if they were white. 0.99

01:35:25.280 I don't know if they were Jewish, I don't know if they were f***ing rabbis 1.00

01:35:28.080 I know they were animals, because they invaded my house 1.00

01:35:30.440 I know I don't care what their excuses are, like a lot of you f***ing care 0.94

01:35:33.900 I know invaders of homes should get 20 years 0.70

01:35:36.880 But I'm not paranoid, so I don't believe you're b***ing the stats and the crime

01:35:41.400 Because everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem

01:35:44.280 They're f***ing all putting cameras and hiring security guards

01:35:46.920 Because we're all getting broken into 0.75

01:35:48.280 It's not made up, it's not false

01:35:50.640 And this city has collapsed in the last five years

01:35:53.360 There is no denying it unless you have an agenda, and I don't know what that is.

01:35:59.080 But you say, oh, Spencer Pratt has no experience, so how can we possibly think about this?

01:36:03.500 What experience did Karen Bass have for Rick Caruso, who we know can build things,

01:36:07.940 who we know can fix problems, when you made sure he couldn't win?

01:36:11.580 So right now, you're putting people in the same position that you did with Trump,

01:36:15.680 who I did not vote for, by the way.

01:36:17.260 You put them in by making sure we had no options, okay?

01:36:21.720 and that's where we are in LA and we want to fix this place because when we don't want to be forced

01:36:26.640 out I'm one of the people who made this city look great I did it for years I glorified it I meet

01:36:31.800 people all the time that moved here because the show that I created and they hated here now hate

01:36:36.260 listen to what he's saying let me let me talk to you about California here for a second

01:36:41.060 I grew up in the west coast I grew up in don't hold this against me I grew up in the Seattle

01:36:45.880 area, Mount Vernon, Washington, a little teeny town north of Seattle. And all I ever wanted to

01:36:52.400 do my whole life growing up was live in California because just saying the name California used to

01:36:57.660 mean something. For most of the world, California was the idyllic America. It was sunshine and

01:37:06.980 possibility. It was orange groves, beaches, beautiful women. It was Hollywood, later Silicon

01:37:14.400 Valley, aerospace, farming, music, the Eagles, technology, imagination, Disney. I mean, if

01:37:22.420 America was the land of opportunity, California was the world's postcard, okay? People crossed 0.99

01:37:29.660 oceans to get here. And not because California was easy, but because California represented

01:37:36.760 something, the belief that tomorrow could be better than today, the belief that a person with

01:37:43.180 the dream can build something out of really, out of nothing. The belief that hard work still

01:37:48.960 mattered. But now look at it. Would you live there? Entire communities burned to the ground.

01:37:57.640 Insurance companies fleeing. Families gone. Businesses shut down. Relocating. Taxes rising.

01:38:04.380 Housing costs explode. Billions disappear. Your tax dollars for what? Fraud and projects

01:38:11.680 that never seem to get finished.

01:38:13.940 I mean, there's a high-speed rail project

01:38:15.480 that's supposed to connect California.

01:38:17.220 It's a monument to government promises

01:38:19.820 and government waste.

01:38:23.860 And people are looking around going,

01:38:25.700 who did this?

01:38:27.140 Who did this?

01:38:27.760 How'd this happen?

01:38:29.500 Well, here's a question.

01:38:31.080 How could it be the Republicans?

01:38:32.300 They haven't held meaningful statewide power in decades.

01:38:35.900 How could they be responsible

01:38:37.020 for what happened over decades?

01:38:40.360 And I'm not saying vote for a Republican 1.00

01:38:42.120 because the Republicans suck a lot too. 0.99

01:38:44.520 They're not perfect. 1.00

01:38:45.780 Republicans, some of them are corrupt. 1.00

01:38:47.320 Some of them are foolish. 1.00

01:38:48.860 Some are just bad guys. 1.00

01:38:50.460 Some of them are progressive. 0.99

01:38:51.600 Some of them are just weak.

01:38:53.180 Human nature doesn't change when, you know,

01:38:55.320 you change your party affiliation.

01:38:58.720 But at some point, we stop talking about parties

01:39:01.640 and start talking about reason.

01:39:03.140 Shouldn't that be part of the conversation?

01:39:04.580 At some point, don't you have to examine the results here

01:39:07.260 of what you're living in?

01:39:08.340 I mean, if I hire a contractor for 30 years to come in and fix my roof, and my roof constantly leaks, and I keep hiring him to come back, and he fixes it, but then he keeps blaming the weather.

01:39:22.620 At some point, I start looking at the contractor and say, you know, this doesn't make any sense, dude.

01:39:27.280 And I start looking for another contractor.

01:39:30.680 California needs a new contractor.

01:39:33.860 But the problem is the people there vote based on stories and California knows how to tell stories. That is Storyville, USA. It is the state that perfected image making.

01:39:51.200 The state that taught the world how to manufacture perception.

01:39:56.080 The state where cameras turn ordinary people into stars.

01:39:59.860 Where marketing make fantasy feel real.

01:40:04.500 Where a good script can temporarily overcome reality.

01:40:09.600 That's California.

01:40:10.920 But California got news for you.

01:40:12.860 Reality always wins.

01:40:14.720 Reality doesn't have a publicist.

01:40:16.620 Reality doesn't care about your narrative.

01:40:18.440 reality keeps score and it's brutal like he just said he's got score you know what i never locked

01:40:28.580 my door now i've got three german shepherds and police watching my house you can tell people

01:40:33.600 crime is down but they know what they see they know what they're living in they know what is

01:40:38.000 happening to their neighbors in their neighborhood you can tell people all you want housing is

01:40:42.560 affordable but they know what they pay

01:40:44.360 you can tell people

01:40:46.240 government's working

01:40:47.240 but they know how long it takes for

01:40:50.140 a choo choo train

01:40:52.320 to be built

01:40:53.420 you can tell people everything is fine

01:40:56.420 but reality sends

01:40:58.420 the bill every time

01:40:59.760 the bill always comes due

01:41:01.840 but that's

01:41:07.780 again

01:41:09.180 where people like Steve Hilton

01:41:14.100 or Spencer Pratt come in.

01:41:19.080 People who love the state,

01:41:21.460 know what it should be,

01:41:23.820 and believe a responsible government

01:41:26.500 has to happen,

01:41:30.040 and responsible people can't give up on California.

01:41:32.980 Trust me, man, I would love to give up on California.

01:41:35.960 It's really tempting.

01:41:37.040 I am not paying for all their mistakes.

01:41:39.620 I am not paying for that rail.

01:41:44.000 When that state goes broke, I'm not bailing you out.

01:41:47.120 I'll be against that every step of the way.

01:41:49.220 I don't want to bail California.

01:41:50.580 You made the decision.

01:41:52.180 You knowingly, we all said, you can't afford this.

01:41:55.860 And man, I want you to feel the consequence of bad decisions.

01:41:59.600 Because pain is seemingly the only teacher left.

01:42:02.600 and so it's tempting to go you know fine just keep doing what you're doing just keep voting

01:42:07.900 but california matters too much it matters way too much the people of california matter

01:42:16.900 the farmlands matter the storytellers matter the future matters california is still the home to

01:42:24.840 a lot of dreamers, home to people who are innovating every day, home to builders, still

01:42:33.540 home to millions of decent people just trying to raise their family and live good lives.

01:42:37.600 And you can't abandon them and you can't abandon the place the world used to look for for hope.

01:42:43.680 Really, honestly, you fight for it and you're patient and you fight peacefully, but you're

01:42:49.780 relentless. I hope the Republicans learn a lesson. I hope they've learned a lesson. And these are not

01:42:57.240 the candidates that are happening in California right now. But all these wishy-washy, mamby-pamby,

01:43:04.180 do-nothing Republicans, these politicians that have been around us forever, we're done with you. 0.61

01:43:10.600 We're done with you. I mean, look at what's happening in Maine. What does that tell you?

01:43:16.360 that Susan Collins can't win against a guy

01:43:20.260 who even his own party says, 1.00

01:43:23.320 yeah, I know he's a Nazi and an anti-Semite. 0.98

01:43:26.160 How is that happening? 0.98

01:43:28.560 Why wouldn't good liberals go to Susan Collins? 1.00

01:43:33.500 She doesn't vote with the president. 1.00

01:43:34.740 Most times she doesn't vote for the president.

01:43:36.860 A couple of reasons.

01:43:37.660 One, they buy the storyline. 0.98

01:43:40.540 They buy that all Republicans are bad and evil

01:43:43.140 and she's just part of it. 0.99

01:43:44.760 Trump, bad, blah, blah, blah.

01:43:46.360 The other thing is, she doesn't stand for anything. 0.72

01:43:55.400 She's neither hot nor cold.

01:43:59.000 She's lukewarm. 0.79

01:44:00.860 Spit it out. 0.76

01:44:02.220 I don't need it.

01:44:04.220 I don't want it.

01:44:06.600 Our job is to keep showing up at places that have problems.

01:44:11.080 Keep knocking on doors.

01:44:12.040 Keep making the case.

01:44:13.040 Keep treating people with respect.

01:44:14.520 Keep listening.

01:44:15.060 keep solving problems, keep proving our ideas work.

01:44:18.740 And when they laugh at us, fine, smile.

01:44:20.400 When they mock, smile.

01:44:22.160 Call your name, smile.

01:44:24.200 Then go help somebody.

01:44:26.180 Because eventually reality becomes impossible to ignore.

01:44:29.860 Eventually people begin to look for answers.

01:44:32.480 They wonder, why are those people happy or successful?

01:44:35.660 And when that day comes, they're not going to care about slogans.

01:44:38.260 They won't care about labels.

01:44:39.860 They won't care about party talking points.

01:44:41.980 because all of those things will have been discredited on their side as well.

01:44:45.720 They just will care about results.

01:44:47.320 The future of California is not going to be decided by Republicans versus Democrats.

01:44:52.280 It's going to be decided by reality versus fantasy, results versus excuses,

01:44:58.640 by people willing to tell the truth versus the people willing just to sell another story.

01:45:06.220 California is a place that once showed the world what was possible, and I still think it can.

01:45:11.600 But first, Californians have to remember something that built every great society in history.

01:45:18.120 Dreams matter.

01:45:19.900 Visions matter.

01:45:21.580 Stories matter.

01:45:23.000 But eventually, you have to wake up in the morning, look at the evidence, look at yourself in the mirror, see what you're living in, and see if the story you've been told or been telling yourself matches the reality you're living in.

01:45:36.940 And when enough people do that, everything in California will change.

01:45:40.860 Back in a minute.

01:45:43.760 Sponsor this half hour is the Berna Launcher.

01:45:46.340 It happens faster than you think.

01:45:47.600 One second you're walking to the car, checking your phone, thinking about dinner,

01:45:50.420 and the next you're staring down a situation that you never thought of being in.

01:45:55.280 That is the space between peace and panic, and it's a lot shorter than people realize.

01:45:59.840 The Berna Launcher was built for that space.

01:46:01.800 It's a non-lethal, CO2-powered defense device that can stop a threat without taking a life.

01:46:06.780 Powerful pepper projectiles fired with precision.

01:46:09.500 It gives you the crucial advantage, time, and now the new Berna Compact makes that advantage even easier to carry.

01:46:17.380 Smaller frame, faster draw, same powerful impact, fits in a purse or a nightstand or glove box, fits in the small of your back.

01:46:25.960 When you need it most, preparedness isn't about expecting trouble.

01:46:28.860 It's about refusing to be caught off guard, and Berna Compact will fill that gap between what if and I'm ready with confidence, control, and peace of mind.

01:46:37.300 So when trouble finds you, you won't freeze.

01:46:39.340 You'll act, and that'll make all the difference.

01:48:28.260 short three-year period in my life and it's i don't know how to feel about it i don't know

01:48:36.040 i have lots of feelings about it when glenn said that jason and i should read this book before

01:48:41.400 venny comes on i'm like oh my gosh okay i'm just i don't know if i have time for this so i'm just

01:48:45.080 gonna quickly search glenn's name in the book it comes up in every single page this is a biography

01:48:50.880 on glenn or not about and this is how you sell books so now i know the model thank you venny

01:48:57.520 I've been with Glenn for six and a half years.

01:49:00.140 Let's get her done.

01:49:01.900 I read it and I was ashamed of myself.

01:49:04.340 I read it and I'm like, oh, that makes me, that doesn't make me look good.

01:49:09.580 And everybody else that read it was like, oh, dude, that is so, you haven't changed at all.

01:49:16.560 That's you.

01:49:17.900 Benny Penn joins me next.

01:49:20.600 Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

01:49:23.880 every business owner has the same realization at some point you start a business because you're

01:49:29.700 good at something you want to build something you know build it of your own and you know you

01:49:34.380 discover a surprising amount of your time ends up being spent on things that have nothing to do with

01:49:38.520 the reason that you started the business in the first place insurance often fits into that category

01:49:43.240 it's important you know you need it but that doesn't mean i want to spend hours chasing down

01:49:48.040 quotes and comparing policies or trying to keep track of everything on a spreadsheet and sticky

01:49:53.140 notes. That's why I like what SuperSure is doing. Met these guys, I don't know, six months ago. I

01:49:58.680 love this. I love this. It's a new system. You can get the coverage you need through a simple

01:50:04.200 platform. Makes it easy to compare options, stay organized, keep important information all in one

01:50:08.860 place. You got a question on any year policy? Are we covered for that? What does our health

01:50:13.260 insurance say about that? You got it. It's all there. It's all there. And they're with you year

01:50:19.140 round, and they can look at all different policies that are available out there. This is great.

01:50:31.160 Find out now, supersure.com slash Beck. That's supersure.com slash Beck.

01:50:36.780 Buckle of fam, Vinnie Penn and his tell-all book about Glenn Beck is next on the Glenn Beck program.

01:50:49.140 i would ask you to indulge me here just for a few minutes uh bring out an old friend um

01:51:11.940 uh and indulge me this is a little inside baseball uh and some of it is a little embarrassing quite

01:51:18.840 honestly vinnie penn is a guy he's a connecticut uh based radio broadcaster he's an author um he

01:51:27.300 does a talk show in connecticut uh on iheart radio also up in boston um he uh has worked with

01:51:37.020 howard stern which i will get into if he decides to embarrass me um but he has written from circus

01:51:43.040 Magazine to Maxim, Cracked Parent, VH1, Best Week Ever. He's done a lot of stuff. And I met him

01:51:54.980 in the 90s, and he was just a miserable failure. And I started to work with him, and we became

01:52:04.820 very good friends for a very long time. And he called me and said, Glenn, I'm writing a book

01:52:12.160 about radio in the 90s

01:52:14.420 when we were together, blah, blah, blah.

01:52:16.240 And the name of it is

01:52:17.680 The Tale of Two Talk Show Hosts.

01:52:20.940 Tale of Two Talk Show Hosts.

01:52:22.500 And I thought, wait a minute.

01:52:24.880 Okay, that's cool.

01:52:25.760 But then as I read the book,

01:52:26.740 I realized, no, this isn't really about him.

01:52:29.140 This isn't about him.

01:52:30.240 It's not two.

01:52:31.120 It's my split personality, I think,

01:52:33.820 is how he would describe it.

01:52:35.960 Vinny, welcome to the program.

01:52:38.480 Yeah, that's excellent.

01:52:39.260 You know, I've been struggling

01:52:40.920 for weeks on my show on how to describe it that's it the two talk show hosts are you

01:52:47.660 because you were doing the talk show on a top 40 station in the 90s and i had no idea you were

01:52:55.860 but you were so i learned a lot doing one either i don't think you do oh i did one either

01:53:02.780 no i i did i knew i was breaking on the road i knew where i was going to go um but but but

01:53:08.860 Vinny, you know, I learned a few things and I had forgotten just how clueless I used to be and

01:53:15.060 probably still am. Um, but I also didn't realize how many people around me were just stabbing me

01:53:21.680 in the back and just like my enemy. I had no, I really didn't know that. And I also didn't know

01:53:27.420 that I was pretty, because of my cluelessness, I was pretty insensitive to a lot of people.

01:53:32.700 That's what I got from the book. I don't know. No, no. Is that your takeaway? No, not at all.

01:53:37.580 i wouldn't i wouldn't say that second half is is accurate at all you're very set you were overly

01:53:43.580 sensitive really uh which i would imagine everyone there can attest to as well you can be

01:53:49.500 overly sensitive uh while at the same time you have the ability you know to call it you know

01:53:55.540 call it like it is um but as for those other people it took me a while to adjust to the fact

01:54:01.940 that and to even realize oh you're all kind of they would drag me into the into these secret

01:54:09.520 meetings and say you know you let Glenn go on this morning for like 10 minutes about being

01:54:16.240 pro-life and I'm and I'm like I let him it's the Glenn Beck program I didn't let him and they're

01:54:23.280 like you got to grab the wheel and make a joke and I'd be like during his pro-life segment on the

01:54:29.040 on the show uh so it took me a few months to realize oh you're not really a fan of what he's

01:54:35.280 doing in there but I loved what you were doing in there and I never exacted that again so you said

01:54:41.920 one of my favorite lines in the book you said I was just fine doing what we were doing because

01:54:47.080 this was all new to you it was really old top 40 radio was really old and it was all new to you

01:54:53.140 and we had a blast doing things I just couldn't do it anymore and I knew exactly where I wanted

01:54:58.400 ago and you said this is a quote i was just fine doing what we were doing day in and day out for

01:55:03.320 the rest of my days this is more than enough for me but not for beck i'd soon learn nothing was

01:55:08.480 ever enough for beck such are the markings of either a madman or millionaires so which am i

01:55:16.240 because i will tell you what the staff said after that what both both clearly both i would imagine

01:55:24.100 ricky would echo that sentiment surely i can speak for stew uh i'm not a mad man

01:55:30.800 i know exactly what i'm doing mad with genius uh and you know i i think that uh although i will say

01:55:40.060 and it's also in the book when you were you began struggling with the genre because you were talking

01:55:48.760 about the ministry for a while and i'm like i can't you know i kept trying to rein you in and

01:55:52.920 Like, do you realize how great we've got it?

01:55:54.900 Like, this is a fun gig.

01:55:56.300 We have fun every day.

01:55:57.520 You had this new romance.

01:55:59.320 She would ultimately become your wife.

01:56:01.100 This great chapter in your life.

01:56:02.800 Wonderful family.

01:56:04.180 And I couldn't get you to see how great we had it.

01:56:07.040 And you're like, you know, maybe it's talk radio that I need to be doing.

01:56:12.360 And I'm like, oh, yeah, because that's really cool.

01:56:14.700 Uh, and I believe, you know, and I believe, I honestly do believe that you're the reason there are Joe Rogan's today.

01:56:26.340 There are, there are, there are a litany of Glenn Beck.

01:56:31.080 I hesitate to say wannabes.

01:56:33.140 They're all doing it their own way, but you revolutionized.

01:56:36.920 I believe you took talk radio to a next level.

01:56:40.040 I hesitate to say you made it cool because I don't think you've made anything

01:56:44.880 cool ever in your life, but, but if I, I would say you did.

01:56:49.180 And now there are all these guys who, you know,

01:56:52.440 are making their own fortunes and you broke down a lot of,

01:56:55.860 a lot of doors because your talk show was unorthodox in the early two thousands.

01:57:00.980 I believe it still is. It's still, you still throw in humor.

01:57:05.460 You're still irreverent during monologues about very serious stuff.

01:57:11.680 And we were doing that in the late 90s, too.

01:57:13.960 And I thought, this is why I can't believe this is what morning radio is.

01:57:17.320 When you left, I found out, no, it isn't.

01:57:19.840 And you guys should have never been doing what you were doing.

01:57:23.420 I had no idea.

01:57:25.340 I'll never forget one day.

01:57:27.200 We averaged about three to four songs an hour.

01:57:31.060 And I loved the music.

01:57:32.420 Glenn would come on and be like, well, that was a really rockin' tune from Third Eye Blind.

01:57:39.400 You know, he would just mock the artist.

01:57:41.780 I was loving them.

01:57:43.140 When you left, I'll never forget, the program director took me a second.

01:57:46.280 He goes, and now, Vinny, we'll finally be able to play the amount of songs we're supposed to be playing an hour.

01:57:52.640 And I said, we weren't?

01:57:54.140 Isn't it supposed to be three to four?

01:57:55.840 And they said, no, it's 12.

01:57:58.720 I had no idea.

01:57:59.620 I had no idea that you were just making your own rules

01:58:06.420 and doing a talk show on the top 40 station.

01:58:10.600 That's the way you're supposed to do it.

01:58:12.340 That's the way you're supposed to do it.

01:58:13.540 You didn't play 12.

01:58:15.480 You never ended up playing 12 songs, did you? 0.96

01:58:18.040 You have too fat of a mouth to do that.

01:58:19.960 I did struggle with that. 0.96

01:58:21.940 It got up.

01:58:22.860 You did, right?

01:58:23.560 The ante got upped.

01:58:25.540 But it is thanks to you that I'm able to do the long monologues that I do.

01:58:29.760 I learned a lot from you, Glenn.

01:58:31.660 Like, for instance, here's one thing that I learned from you.

01:58:34.580 When you get booked for 11.05, say, on a radio show, you're like, wow, I got to leave that hour open.

01:58:42.500 When that host then bumps you to 11.35, you realize, oh, my segment just, I just got caught in half.

01:58:51.980 You're never going to make it around the bend

01:58:54.740 That is noon

01:58:55.860 When Sarah emailed me yesterday

01:58:58.780 We're going to do 1130

01:59:00.000 Okay, I know Glenn, I've been caught in half

01:59:03.140 Understood

01:59:04.220 I learned radio from you

01:59:07.840 I just had

01:59:08.600 We just had important things

01:59:10.520 We just had important things

01:59:11.760 And you know me

01:59:12.780 I would be much more likely

01:59:16.880 To promote a book that was

01:59:18.440 Really more about you

01:59:20.320 than about me i get uncomfortable in in you know these kinds of these kinds of things and i will

01:59:26.480 tell you vinnie i read the book i called you right after i read the book i thought i would read a

01:59:30.600 little bit of it i read the whole thing i gave it to tanya she said what are you what are you reading

01:59:35.220 and i said i i have not gotten up i started reading this book and i i can't believe it's

01:59:40.160 like a whole new story to me i wrote to you and i said i don't know how much of this is true i can't

01:59:44.260 verify um because you know in the book you talk about me being oblivio um i was just focused on

01:59:50.580 other things um but uh tanya did i i caught her in the day she spent the whole day reading the book

01:59:57.160 just laughing uh so much at all of it and uh and uh i really appreciated the way you treated

02:00:05.140 tanya uh in the book and and well and it's interesting glenn because it took me writing

02:00:12.740 the book to realize because one of something you would keep revisiting during those three years is

02:00:19.420 I don't know I lost something here I lost something here and I would keep saying well

02:00:22.940 then you'll find it here you'll find it here I didn't realize until writing the book well you

02:00:27.220 got divorced and you found your your wife your your second wife your true love here while I was

02:00:34.160 writing it I'm like oh that's the thing he lost and that's the thing he found it wasn't he found

02:00:38.860 talk radio here it's he found his true love here she was a key ingredient i think to so many things

02:00:45.660 there and i'm glad she enjoyed it there has to be something you remembered in that book though

02:00:50.460 there has to be something like i remember that part none of it none of it that i will admit to

02:00:54.960 i remember i remember uh i honestly i remembered all of it i did not remember uh how clueless i

02:01:04.160 was on some things especially when it came to people i didn't but i was different then you know

02:01:09.960 yeah don't you think yeah uh in some ways like i'd love to hear your thoughts technology like

02:01:16.840 technology fascinated you were ahead of everybody on the tech front i'll never forget going into a

02:01:23.240 meeting where they wanted to talk about our new commercial and you saying in the hallway

02:01:26.920 we don't want a commercial back me up we want to get equipment in the studio so so that people at

02:01:32.720 home can watch us they could dial up on their desktops and watch us do a radio show at home

02:01:39.960 and I said all right I'll back you up on that management resisted but caved and really that's

02:01:45.340 1997 and you wanted people to see you doing the radio show now that I think they're called podcasts

02:01:53.440 and they're like one of the biggest things right did we do right now so I would actually do that

02:01:59.100 you absolutely in 1997 we thought that's how certain key players came into our fold

02:02:06.560 young guys who were really tech savvy you might recall bob calderella and people and i remember

02:02:13.460 thinking we're never going to be at an appearance where any of these wonderful women i'm meeting

02:02:18.500 are going to say i was watching the show this morning and being surprised the number wasn't 0.66

02:02:24.260 great but it was large enough that i thought geez he was right people will like dial up well you

02:02:30.440 remember that's why glenn i would love to get your thoughts on ai because as i struggle with

02:02:40.200 that i'm thinking beck's probably got a really interesting view on ai you know i don't want to

02:02:45.080 come across as a luddite occasionally i've got to embrace all of this technology but i kick and

02:02:50.680 scream into much of it and you were always the opposite you look at it you eye it like a newborn

02:02:56.320 like how do i figure this thing out and how do i play with it so what is where are you at on ai

02:03:01.700 right now so i will tell you you should go back and listen to today's first hour because i talk

02:03:07.260 about the bernie sanders thing that he talked about with with ai um about how he wants you know

02:03:13.320 50 50 going to the government that's insanity however we did build it we i know but we did

02:03:20.260 we did build it that was built on on our information and there there are some discussions

02:03:25.220 especially with the the ai centers i'm going to do something on ai uh data centers uh tomorrow

02:03:31.620 because everybody has them i think has the approach wrong you have the problems correct

02:03:37.700 you have the solutions uh wrong um but ai is is going to decide the world of tomorrow it it will

02:03:49.020 decide whether you are successful or not um and whether a country you know if we are not leading

02:03:56.240 the world we will all be speaking chinese um and that will happen um yeah and it will be a very

02:04:03.360 very different world how did you feel about the pope leo's comments on it have you caught those

02:04:11.060 you have to watch that yeah i saw yeah no i i i saw them i didn't pay much attention to them

02:04:17.140 um uh you know i think he's i think he's right about some things i think he's you're not right 0.65

02:04:26.220 about some things um but ai is a very dangerous tool that we should all be really really aware of

02:04:34.140 um if you have if you have uh one thing you want people to walk away with on the book what would

02:04:41.720 it be? Reinvention. Uh, it's never too, you'll, you can reinvent yourself once a decade. And I

02:04:51.800 don't mean it with intention and, but that it is possible. It's never over. There's always another

02:04:59.060 chapter. I didn't even realize at 29 years old that I was in need of reinvention. I met this

02:05:05.320 guy named Glenn Beck in a hallway who was in the throes of it and he didn't realize he was in the

02:05:10.600 midst of it and i think you've reinvented i think you're in the midst of another reinvention right

02:05:14.640 now reinvention is necessary evolution is necessary it's never too late for anyone

02:05:21.140 vinnie i'd love to talk to you we'll do something online uh as well vinnie penn the name of the book

02:05:28.180 is a tale of two talk show hosts it is out now it is an unauthorized biography of i don't think

02:05:35.740 That's necessary. It's not really necessary to describe it that way.

02:05:39.900 That seems a bit much, but all right.

02:05:43.280 Vinnie Penn, get the book, A Tale of Two Talk Show Hosts.

02:05:46.980 It is a side of me.

02:05:49.160 We don't even talk about in the early stages of my talk radio career

02:05:55.640 when before it was even talk radio.

02:05:57.920 Vinnie Penn, A Tale of Two Talk Show Hosts.

02:06:00.140 Get it wherever you get your books now.

02:06:02.580 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

02:06:04.020 I want you to think about something for a second.

02:06:05.740 When you were 20 years old, there were probably days when you didn't even think about your body.

02:06:10.460 You just went to bed.

02:06:12.340 You did what you wanted to do.

02:06:14.380 You got up in the morning.

02:06:16.100 You did your thing.

02:06:17.780 You went to bed.

02:06:18.720 You slept.

02:06:20.040 Now, everything doesn't seem like it wants to cooperate.

02:06:25.300 You think, well, this is getting older.

02:06:27.000 Things have changed.

02:06:27.720 There's pain.

02:06:28.340 And one of the reasons I'm such a fan of Relief Factory is because I had pain that I had honestly surrendered to that I thought,

02:06:34.500 oh yeah, this is this way it's going to be. Um, and it wasn't, it wasn't, I just needed my body

02:06:40.200 to be strengthened naturally to be able to break the back of the, and I went to every doctor

02:06:45.660 possible. I had such pain. I mean, I'm sitting here in the studio and I'm writing with a writing

02:06:51.480 pen. I never used to do that. Um, when I was in pain, cause I, my hands hurt too much. I couldn't

02:06:56.560 hold a pen. And I love to handwrite things. It broke the back. Relief Factor did. Get out of

02:07:04.640 pain. At least try and try this. I'm telling you, it worked for me. Relief Factor. ReliefFactor.com.
