00:00:00.000 When it comes to protecting yourself and your family, you want a response that matches the

00:00:04.460 situation because not every threat calls for lethal force. That's why I like Burna. You've

00:00:27.780 serious stopping power without ever having to get close to a potential threat. And with unique

00:00:32.320 pull-pierce technology, your Burna launcher is ready when you need it. There are no background

00:00:37.260 checks or permits required. Burna launchers are legal to own in all 50 states, can be shipped

00:00:41.560 directly to your door. Even if you own a firearm, Burna gives you another line of defense when lethal

00:00:46.400 force isn't the right answer. And for you, go to Burna.com slash Glenn, get 10% off a CL or SD

00:01:26.640 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:28.720 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:31.040 Na-na-na-na.

00:01:33.560 Oh-oh-oh-oh. 0.98

00:01:36.100 Na-na-na-na.

00:01:39.900 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:01:47.620 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:51.120 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:53.460 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We've got a lot to talk about today.

00:01:57.820 We're going to introduce you to the first half of a poll that is coming out later this week.

00:02:02.320 It's a little terrifying. It's a new poll that shows the, I think, shocking views of Sharia law in America, especially those under 35.

00:02:13.940 It is not good news. We are not doing a good job teaching what Sharia law actually is in America.

00:02:23.540 Also, we have, I have some thoughts on a story that came out of the Wall Street Journal on broken families.

00:02:31.380 And we'll try to get through that on today's program.

00:02:35.480 Diesel costs are up again.

00:02:38.480 The TPUSA saga continues.

00:02:42.960 There was a report out from UVU on what actually happened with security.

00:02:48.020 I've got a few thoughts on that one. 1.00

00:02:49.480 And I think we should start with Iran because Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal for peace, and I think he has a good reason for it. 0.95

00:02:58.100 But there's some other things going on in the world that we need to be aware of, especially when it comes to Sharia law and those who are looking to end the West. 0.95

00:03:07.180 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:03:08.800 First, let me tell you about real estate agents.

00:03:10.740 I trust dot com.

00:03:12.380 Real estate has a language that most people, you know, only have to speak about three times in their entire lives.

00:03:18.320 You've got escrow, contingencies, comps, earnest money.

00:03:21.720 You have disclosures and appraisals.

00:03:24.340 And then somebody starts talking about, you know, days on the market and you're nodding your head like, yeah, of course.

00:03:30.740 Meanwhile, good real estate agents speaks this language all day long, every day.

00:03:34.220 And that's just one of the reasons I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:03:37.260 I wanted somebody to have you in their corner or I wanted them to be in your corner.

00:03:45.320 That's what it, you know what I mean.

00:03:47.160 I wanted them. Cut me, Rock. Cut me. I wanted them there so you could be cut. This is all falling apart. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com. realestateagentsitrust.com. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, they'll help you even in this tough market. realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:04:06.960 All right, so here's the latest.

00:04:13.660 Looks like President Trump has said no to any peace plan with Iran.

00:04:21.860 Why would he do that?

00:04:22.940 With the price of gas.

00:04:24.480 Have you gotten gas this weekend?

00:04:26.420 I did.

00:04:28.000 $5.54.

00:04:33.540 Wow.

00:04:34.640 Okay.

00:04:35.160 well that's not comfortable uh had the kids up yesterday for dinner up at the house and they

00:04:42.280 were like dad I don't know if we can afford to come up to the house on Sundays to have dinner

00:04:48.200 with you have you filled up your tank and I said yeah I have so why would he do this why would he

00:04:54.700 do this because he believes that um anytime anything that we can do to give them any kind

00:05:02.060 of funding, they are out. They are out. Iran is now saying that they will, they're prepared for

00:05:11.700 any war, including one that is a doomsday war. What does that imply? Nuclear weapons? What does

00:05:20.400 that imply? A doomsday war. They soon are not going to have anything to trade. They only have

00:05:28.120 a few days left of oil and they are collapsing from the inside now we've heard this before

00:05:33.640 but they are desperate to make some sort of a deal to keep them alive um besan says i'm confident

00:05:40.820 there's only 15 million more barrels of iranian oil in the water iran will have nothing left to

00:05:45.840 trade for anything probably within the next two weeks they're going to make their final deliveries

00:05:50.580 of oil to china and then they will have nothing left it's an empty set i believe they are feeling

00:05:55.680 the pressure here, and that's why they wanted a deal. So we'll continue to watch that. I do want

00:06:01.480 to get into diesel prices. The president is floating the idea that we onshore all of our

00:06:08.280 diesel, that we don't sell diesel to any other country that takes us off of the global market,

00:06:14.120 that is going to cause problems all around the rest of the world. I know that we should be

00:06:18.300 America first, but it is very concerning to me because this is the kind of stuff that Jimmy

00:06:22.660 Carter would do, and it will only lead to bad things. It will cut the cost maybe by a dollar

00:06:29.140 for a very short period of time, and then it will get really bad. You just don't want to pull

00:06:35.680 yourself out of the global market because then all kinds of games are starting to be played.

00:06:41.240 We'll get into that a little later. There's also a story today in the news about a farmer in an

00:06:46.060 English countryside who was driving home from a party this last week. She found three vans

00:06:52.220 blocking a dark country road. She saw the masked men running towards the RAF Fairford, which is a

00:06:59.680 base the United States Air Force uses. She didn't film it. She didn't post it. She called the police

00:07:05.700 and then she grabbed her neighbors and she told them, lock your doors. Something's going on.

00:07:10.120 Less than 25 minutes later, five men were arrested under suspicion of preparing a terrorist

00:07:14.920 attack. Dozens of homes were evacuated. Bomb teams went through the van. Counter-terrorist

00:07:20.680 officers were looking for possible links to Iran. And the president said he had had these men under

00:07:26.760 surveillance and they were looking to do big damage. Apparently there were explosives in the

00:07:32.900 van. I don't know how we could be watching these men for weeks and then let them get this close to

00:07:37.100 the uh the air force base but that's the story as of right now same week london police arrested

00:07:45.500 a man over a suspected plot against a jewish community center in fact several of them israeli

00:07:50.980 diplomats pro-israeli rallies in germany or in austria also were targeted according to the report

00:07:57.940 he once guarded the chief of hamas the british gave him asylum he's lived there now for about

00:08:04.820 10 years. Again, Hamas, asylum, England. Same week, the Telegraph reports that the Palestinians, 0.79

00:08:14.740 that of the Palestinians, the BBC has identified as journalists, 53 had ties of one kind or another

00:08:24.200 to Hamas and other terrorist groups. That's an allegation. BBC needs to answer it. The same time,

00:08:30.480 BBC, same week, ran a story asking whether unpainted fingernails have become a class

00:08:37.100 issue. 0.99

00:08:38.360 One beauty journalist, I just have to stop on that one. 0.96

00:08:44.960 One beauty journalist, whatever, one beauty journalist explained that words like elegant 0.67

00:08:53.200 and tasteful are often euphemisms for white supremacist standards of beauty.

00:09:00.480 a man who guarded the head of Hamas

00:09:10.260 has refugee status

00:09:13.980 53 men with ties to terror are journalists

00:09:17.980 five men were arrested trying to blow up an air force base

00:09:22.620 and the word tasteful is white supremacy

00:09:26.660 See, I want you to step back here and look at the whole picture here.

00:09:32.080 Because nobody in Europe is looking at the whole picture, obviously.

00:09:36.220 Europe is not losing an argument.

00:09:38.240 It has stopped making an argument.

00:09:41.320 The West is under attack.

00:09:42.920 And not because we're weak, because we're lazy, uncomfortable, we're distracted.

00:09:48.580 We won't even say we're worth saving.

00:09:53.040 somewhere along the way we were taught and we believe now that we're the bad guys

00:09:58.140 how's this happen

00:10:02.600 i'd like to say we've been here before but we've been here before

00:10:07.840 kind of not really but kind of oxford england it's february 1933 the oxford union the most

00:10:16.540 famous student debating society in the world the room where future prime ministers learn to argue

00:10:23.080 At least that's what they say.

00:10:24.160 I don't know what they're arguing now.

00:10:26.480 Well, they take up a motion in 1933

00:10:28.440 that this house will know in no uncertain circumstances

00:10:32.840 fight for king and country.

00:10:35.040 It passed 275 to 153.

00:10:39.340 Now, were the students cowards?

00:10:41.760 No, they grew up in a country full of empty chairs.

00:10:44.820 Their fathers and their uncles went to the trenches

00:10:46.800 and didn't come back.

00:10:48.580 And they had been told with some reason

00:10:50.140 that the war was a lie, old men told young ones.

00:10:55.500 And they were right about the horror,

00:10:58.060 but they drew the wrong lesson.

00:10:59.960 They decided the problem wasn't war,

00:11:02.620 the problem was their own country.

00:11:06.240 Ten days before that vote,

00:11:07.900 Adolf Hitler had been sworn in as Chancellor of Germany.

00:11:11.240 Winston Churchill called it an abject, squalid, shameless avowal.

00:11:16.340 He wrote later, he noticed in Germany, in Italy, and Japan,

00:11:20.140 They had seen it.

00:11:21.460 They had all seen it.

00:11:24.340 A few weeks after the vote, his own son went back to Oxford

00:11:27.200 and asked the students to strike it from the minute book.

00:11:29.740 They voted him down, 751 to 138.

00:11:33.180 The record stayed.

00:11:34.000 It's still there today.

00:11:35.820 Good.

00:11:36.640 It should stay. 0.75

00:11:39.580 But six years later, the young men of that generation were in uniform.

00:11:43.680 A lot of them never came home.

00:11:47.040 They did fight for king and country after all.

00:11:49.340 They just started late.

00:11:51.420 And late is unfortunately the most expensive word in war.

00:12:00.340 You know, just like in that minute book where they said we're not going to fight.

00:12:09.980 That's the same thing that's happening on TikTok now.

00:12:12.640 That's the same thing that's happening on YouTube.

00:12:14.720 That's the same thing that's happening all over our country.

00:12:17.900 and the world is looking at it.

00:12:20.200 We're not interested.

00:12:21.560 I saw a story from Al Jazeera today

00:12:23.280 about what was happening in Iran

00:12:25.280 and Al Jazeera said it's a waiting game.

00:12:29.340 They think they can outweigh the United States

00:12:32.560 because the people just don't want war.

00:12:35.940 That they will...

00:12:36.860 Wait until you see this poll.

00:12:38.180 I'm going to give you a hint.

00:12:40.180 In this poll,

00:12:42.280 the majority of people

00:12:44.920 would give up Israel, lock, stock, and barrel. 0.93

00:12:51.200 Give it up. 1.00

00:12:52.380 Give it to the Palestinian for a one-state solution 1.00

00:12:55.900 for cheaper gas. 1.00

00:13:01.820 The world is hearing us.

00:13:05.900 The dictators back then and the dictators today

00:13:08.780 don't read this as a vote of peace.

00:13:10.980 They read it as permission.

00:13:12.820 and that's what happens when your enemy watches you debate

00:13:17.240 whether you're worth defending

00:13:18.780 and we are debating right now

00:13:21.360 and I think the debate is damn near over

00:13:24.300 no, I think America is saying

00:13:27.980 no, we're not worth defending

00:13:29.360 and once we're debating that

00:13:32.960 they stop debating

00:13:35.040 have we done bad things?

00:13:38.800 yes, we've done slavery, conquest, empires

00:13:41.600 that took what wasn't theirs.

00:13:44.040 I'm talking about the Western culture.

00:13:47.100 Wars we shouldn't have fought, promises we didn't keep.

00:13:50.820 Say it plainly. 1.00

00:13:53.140 A people who can't name their own sins 1.00

00:13:55.900 can't be trusted with their own strength. 0.97

00:13:58.840 So why do we have a problem naming our sins?

00:14:01.640 We need to name our sins.

00:14:03.240 We have named our sins.

00:14:05.420 We've recognized our sins.

00:14:07.960 Now, can we do this?

00:14:09.900 What nation doesn't have those sins? 0.92

00:14:11.600 Is Hamas an angel? 0.79

00:14:14.680 It built miles of tunnels under its own children. 0.99

00:14:19.520 It sent men across the fence on October 7th to burn families alive, to rape babies. 0.99

00:14:26.540 The Palestinian Authority pays stipends to families of men who kill Jews. 0.95

00:14:31.380 I don't see the BBC asking whether their fingernails are problematic.

00:14:35.820 every people on earth have deep problems

00:14:41.660 why do we keep expecting ourselves to be perfect

00:14:46.520 why do we demand that our history is perfect

00:14:49.460 when no one else's history is perfect

00:14:52.540 the question is

00:14:56.620 what do we do with what we have

00:14:59.080 what did we do with what we had

00:15:03.920 well here's what we did

00:15:05.660 We're the civilization that sent its navies to hunt down slave ships.

00:15:09.680 Did you know that?

00:15:11.100 We rebuilt countries that just had tried to kill us.

00:15:15.600 We paid for it.

00:15:17.300 We flew food into a city for more than a year so it wouldn't have to surrender.

00:15:23.660 We wiped smallpox off the face of the earth.

00:15:26.160 We gave away the polio vaccine.

00:15:28.940 We built the countries where a man can stand up and say the government is wrong

00:15:32.780 and go home at night and sleep in his own bed without fear of on his door.

00:15:41.980 And the proof is where the whole world is trying to go. 0.71

00:15:46.340 Nobody's risking their life to get onto a rubber raft to get into Gaza.

00:15:52.420 Nobody's waiting 10 years for asylum in Tehran. 0.56

00:15:56.080 They're coming here. 0.75

00:15:57.620 They're coming to Europe. 0.95

00:15:58.720 even the man who guarded the chief of Hamas 0.95

00:16:01.560 wanted to live in London

00:16:02.620 did he want to live there for freedom

00:16:05.120 or did he want to live there because we're doubting

00:16:07.480 ourselves and he was 0.98

00:16:09.440 ready to kill us

00:16:10.620 we've done more 0.96

00:16:13.700 good for more people than most

00:16:15.680 of human history combined and that's not

00:16:17.420 arrogance that's simple

00:16:19.300 non-common core math

00:16:21.580 but let's not kid ourselves there's a campus not far from you or me that would

00:16:32.060 would pass the oxford motion right now and give it a standing ovation

00:16:37.020 nobody fights for a house he's been told he stole

00:16:44.360 you didn't steal this house but that's their whole strategy you don't have to

00:16:51.400 defeat a civilization that's been taught to be ashamed of itself. You just have to wait for it

00:16:55.920 to open the door. And we've opened the door. So we have to be clear about who we are, what we did

00:17:03.160 wrong, what we did and do right, both out loud. And then we have to decide whether this is worth

00:17:10.100 standing for, worth defending, worth fighting for, and decide it right now, not in the middle

00:17:15.200 of the night when three vans are on the road. That farmer didn't hold a debate. She didn't ask

00:17:21.160 whether her village deserved protecting,

00:17:23.780 whether the men in the mask had a point.

00:17:26.920 I don't know.

00:17:27.800 Were they offended by my fingernails?

00:17:31.360 She knew where she lived and who her neighbors were, 0.68

00:17:33.740 and she picked up the phone.

00:17:37.720 Europe has a minute book, too.

00:17:39.600 So do we.

00:17:41.200 Most of it's on social media, and it's being written right now.

00:17:44.320 what goes in at this time is up to us more in a minute

00:17:54.300 let me tell you about chapter medicare has this amazing ability to make perfectly intelligent

00:18:02.020 person people feel like they've accidentally walked into a final exam for class they never

00:18:06.700 took you start looking at plans and letters and networks and prescriptions and premiums

00:18:11.400 Five minutes later, you're just like, I don't know.

00:18:13.900 I just wanted health insurance.

00:18:15.780 Why am I suddenly decoding the Rosetta Stone here?

00:18:19.160 This is why Chapter is there and where they come in.

00:18:21.700 Chapter has licensed Medicare advisors who look across all of your Medicare plan options nationwide

00:18:27.980 to help you understand what actually makes sense for you.

00:18:30.480 Because the important question isn't which plan has the best commercial.

00:18:33.560 It's which plan fits your doctors and your prescriptions and your needs and your budget.

00:18:37.740 And Chapter's advisors aren't paid more to put you into one plan over another.

00:18:41.720 Their job is to help you sort through the options and make an informed decision.

00:18:45.420 On average, people who found a new plan with Chapter in this audience save $1,100 every single year on health care costs.

00:18:53.460 And if you're ready, if you're already on the right plan, they're going to tell you that and they'll send you on your way.

00:18:58.480 And it takes less than 20 minutes.

00:18:59.920 Just dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

00:19:02.860 It's pound 250, keyword chapter.

00:19:05.620 10 seconds, station ID.

00:19:07.140 Okay, I have some more economic news, and I'm not being a cheerleader.

00:19:22.420 I'm just telling you the truth.

00:19:23.680 Things are bad.

00:19:24.480 I've led this hour with how bad the gas price is, and it is a real problem.

00:19:28.900 But I told you a couple of days ago, two numbers came out of the Census Bureau,

00:19:32.600 and you probably didn't hear anything on the news if you don't get it.

00:19:36.520 You know, if you get it from the mainstream media, the first one, real median household income in America after inflation is eighty seven thousand four hundred and sixty dollars.

00:19:44.240 That's the highest ever recorded.

00:19:46.080 The government is counting has been counting since 1967.

00:19:49.340 It's never been higher than that.

00:19:51.220 Also, the the official poverty rate fell to ten point two percent.

00:19:56.140 That's the lowest on record child poverty.

00:19:58.600 Also a record low.

00:20:00.260 This is huge.

00:20:02.560 Now, this week, rent numbers, New Orleans down 8%, Nashville down 5.3%, San Antonio down 5%, Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami, all down.

00:20:15.160 And the steepest drops are in Texas, the state that accounted for a quarter of all ICE arrests in July.

00:20:21.500 Fewer people competing for the same apartment means lower price on the apartment.

00:20:25.140 That's not ideology.

00:20:26.540 That's supply and demand.

00:20:27.640 And we've told you about that over and over again.

00:20:29.720 So, you want cheaper prices for your apartment?

00:20:33.920 You want your housing prices to go down?

00:20:36.800 Let ICE do their work.

00:20:39.180 Where they are doing their work, it's down around 5%.

00:20:42.580 S&P Global says business growth is at its highest level in more than five years.

00:20:48.740 Exports are a pace for a record.

00:20:51.380 More Americans are working today than any other point in history.

00:20:55.200 More orders, more output, more paychecks.

00:20:59.720 Now I say that, and I picture in my head a guy standing outside of a truck stop at Amarillo.

00:21:04.500 He's got one hand on the nozzle and one eye on the pump,

00:21:06.920 and the number is rolling past what he used to make in a day.

00:21:10.760 He's heard all those statistics, and he's thinking,

00:21:13.680 what the hell country is Glenn Beck talking about right now?

00:21:17.620 Buddy, I want you to know you're not wrong.

00:21:21.900 Your pain is not imaginary.

00:21:25.320 Gas prices are horrendous.

00:21:27.920 diesel is worse. Diesel's the price that nobody sees. It's the one that's put in the tractor

00:21:33.980 that planted the wheat, the train that hauled it, the mill that ground it, the truck that brought

00:21:39.180 the bread to your grocery store. It's in the forklifts and the barge and the delivery van

00:21:43.880 in your driveway. When diesel goes up, it gets paid for five or six times before it reaches you,

00:21:50.880 and you pay all five or six times. So when you walk out of the store feeling robbed,

00:21:56.760 You're not crazy. You're paying a fuel tax that never shows up on the receipt.

00:22:01.840 But don't let anyone sell you only half of the story.

00:22:05.660 I'm not trying to sugarcoat anything.

00:22:07.680 I'm telling you you're only getting half of the story.

00:22:10.480 The media wants you staring at the pump because you'll only see the pump and you'll believe everything is broken.

00:22:14.920 It isn't. The engine of this economy is running again.

00:22:19.220 Incomes are up. Poverty is down. Rents are falling. Factories are hiring.

00:22:23.300 What's choking us is fuel.

00:22:26.000 Not ten problems, one problem.

00:22:29.200 And that's the best news you'll hear all week.

00:22:31.560 A country with ten problems is in trouble.

00:22:34.460 A country with one problem has got a to-do list.

00:22:37.620 Now get to it, Donald Trump.

00:22:39.760 All right, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:22:41.900 Getting somebody to try something once is one thing.

00:22:44.680 There's a whole industry built around that.

00:22:47.160 Free samples, introductory offers, coupons.

00:22:50.060 Somebody standing in a Costco with a toothpick and a tiny meatball.

00:22:54.320 Where I usually like to spend my Saturdays.

00:22:57.080 Anyway, human civilization has developed thousands of ways to get you to try something once.

00:23:02.300 But getting you to come back, that's different.

00:23:04.660 Still, over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to come back and take more, month after month.

00:23:11.200 Not just try it.

00:23:12.880 They've decided they want more.

00:23:15.100 Relief Factor is designed to support your body's natural inflammatory response

00:23:18.760 and help with the aches and the pains that come from everyday life.

00:23:22.220 I know what frequent pain can be like.

00:23:24.240 I walked away from it.

00:23:25.700 You know, when I walked away from Relief Factor, it came back.

00:23:29.640 I take it every day, and I've absolutely gotten my life back as a result.

00:23:32.880 Get the three-week quick start.

00:23:34.120 It's 1776, and see why so many people say Relief Factor gave them their life back.

00:23:38.760 Just go to relieffactor.com, 800-4-RELIEF, 800, the number for relief.

00:23:43.100 relieffactor.com

00:23:45.540 Coming up

00:23:47.340 UVU dropped the report

00:23:49.480 of the day Charlie Kirk was shot. The internet

00:23:51.540 picked a villain but Glenn says that

00:23:53.520 is not the conclusion you should come to.

00:23:55.540 Stay with us on the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:13.100 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:23.540 We're glad you're here.

00:24:25.200 This weekend we had, I don't know, about 100 people up to the house here at the Standing Rock Ranch.

00:24:30.240 We had the first wedding here at the ranch.

00:24:34.220 It was a family wedding and had a conversation with one of my nephews.

00:24:40.600 We don't see the world the same

00:24:43.280 And I love him to death

00:24:45.420 And he loves his uncle

00:24:46.740 And we were having a conversation

00:24:50.200 I said just

00:24:51.080 When we finished hugging each other

00:24:54.740 I looked him in the eye and said

00:24:55.700 Just make me a promise will you

00:24:57.280 That this will never stop

00:24:58.780 Our love will never stop because we disagree on politics

00:25:01.300 Because it's not worth it

00:25:02.440 And he said Uncle Glenn I promise you

00:25:04.480 I'm going to talk about those families

00:25:07.880 That are struggling

00:25:09.960 including mine, from a story from the Wall Street Journal here coming up in just a minute.

00:25:14.980 If you're struggling with your family because of politics, you are not alone.

00:25:19.240 And I have to tell you, I have a hard time.

00:25:22.800 Well, we'll get into it in a minute.

00:25:25.760 There was news that came out on Friday.

00:25:28.200 Utah Valley University released the independent review of the day Charlie Kirk was killed on campus.

00:25:34.420 Outside experts did more than 70 interviews, read thousands of pages, videos, dispatch logs, text messages, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:43.540 It's all released, and within an hour, everybody had a verdict.

00:25:46.560 Everybody had something.

00:25:47.840 I got to get on the air, and I got to talk about this.

00:25:49.920 I got to quick.

00:25:50.640 I got to get on my podcast.

00:25:53.180 The family's lawyer blamed the university.

00:25:56.120 Parts of the left blamed Turning Point.

00:25:58.520 Podcasters said, the silence is the real story.

00:26:02.980 Is it?

00:26:03.400 Is that the real story?

00:26:04.940 The silence?

00:26:05.900 Huh.

00:26:08.180 Most of these people couldn't even finish page 10.

00:26:11.780 They told us, you know, silence.

00:26:18.820 Sometimes silence is the real story.

00:26:21.860 Like my opinion on some of these podcasters is.

00:26:31.180 Now I just told a story there, didn't I?

00:26:34.180 My silence was the story.

00:26:36.920 Not this time.

00:26:38.460 You know, we're living in the so-called information age.

00:26:42.100 We're not living in the information age anymore.

00:26:43.960 We were in the information age.

00:26:45.820 Now we're in the opinion and outrage age.

00:26:49.980 Opinion is the currency of the day.

00:26:51.880 And it is so cheap to print.

00:26:54.080 It is nobody ever runs out of opinions.

00:26:57.400 My gosh.

00:26:59.940 Facts are what's scarce in today's world.

00:27:03.200 So let me not sell you a side here.

00:27:05.780 Let me tell you the facts of what's in the report in order.

00:27:09.880 You decide what it means.

00:27:10.960 You're smart enough to figure this out, so you decide.

00:27:14.080 So in July of last year, a Turning Point field representative asked the campus club to request the outdoor courtyard.

00:27:24.000 Charlie had spoken at UVU before he knew the place.

00:27:27.480 The police chief learned about the event three weeks out.

00:27:30.540 Okay. All right. That's probably a, you know, the planning form estimated 600 people didn't list any safety concerns.

00:27:38.460 So the police chief doesn't find out until three weeks out. That's a problem. That's a problem.

00:27:43.220 University staff warned the courtyard would be hard to control point in their favor.

00:27:47.620 Turning point wanted it anyway with its own ticketing. University went along.

00:27:52.440 Probably shouldn't have done that. Reviewers said it should have kept those decisions for itself.

00:27:57.360 Then there was no security assessment, no written plan.

00:28:01.820 Nobody studied the rooftops.

00:28:04.460 Two days before Charlie's own security flagged the walkway above the stage,

00:28:11.680 the chief taped it off and posted to officers there.

00:28:15.960 That morning, he texts Charlie's security supervisor, meet at 11.

00:28:20.180 Well, they didn't meet. Why?

00:28:22.280 The chief was clearing protesters off the walkway,

00:28:25.100 than chasing students off a balcony

00:28:26.860 outside the president's office.

00:28:28.460 He was busy fixing the problems he could see.

00:28:32.280 Thirteen sworn officers for the whole university.

00:28:36.140 No screening, bike racks for barriers,

00:28:39.140 camera recording, nobody watching, no ambulance.

00:28:42.860 You know, the emergency manager was on vacation.

00:28:46.880 And then at 1223, a shot came from the roof

00:28:50.540 more than 400 feet away.

00:28:52.020 So

00:28:54.100 Whose fault is it?

00:29:00.480 Well, I read this thing

00:29:01.780 I can't find any bad faith

00:29:04.440 I can't find any plot line here

00:29:07.040 No conspiracy

00:29:08.000 I didn't find a single Jew in the report 1.00

00:29:10.740 What I found were serious failures 1.00

00:29:14.140 And failures on both sides of the table

00:29:17.280 You know what?

00:29:19.420 This is one of those things like 0.99

00:29:20.680 Crap happens 0.97

00:29:22.000 Charlie's security leads 0.99

00:29:29.600 Turning Point's field representatives

00:29:31.900 The student who invited him

00:29:35.180 All declined to be interviewed

00:29:37.200 The family has filed notice of a lawsuit

00:29:41.320 Lawsuits make people stop talking

00:29:43.520 That's what it is

00:29:44.640 That's not a confession

00:29:46.160 That's the silence

00:29:47.200 It's a lawsuit and litigation

00:29:50.280 The silence speaks volumes.

00:29:52.240 Yes, everybody's going to court and they've all got an attorney.

00:29:57.540 It's just a blank space.

00:30:00.100 And in the opinion age, somebody has to rush to fill in that silence.

00:30:05.360 I can talk, I can talk, I can talk.

00:30:06.940 Listen to me, I can talk, I can talk.

00:30:08.420 Look how many followers I can get.

00:30:13.360 You know, this would make me feel awful if we hadn't been here before, but we have.

00:30:17.420 Let me take you back to probably the biggest one, April 1912.

00:30:24.060 Days before the most famous ship in the world left Southampton.

00:30:28.760 The line shuffles its officers.

00:30:31.220 The second officer gets bumped.

00:30:33.820 He walks off the ship down the gangway with a little key in his pocket.

00:30:37.660 Little key.

00:30:38.660 What was that little key?

00:30:39.680 You probably never heard this story.

00:30:41.340 Oh, this was a big scandal back then.

00:30:43.040 He kept the key.

00:30:43.880 it opened the locker that held the binoculars for the crow's nest nobody noticed nobody thought it

00:30:50.540 mattered okay four nights later two lookouts standing in that nest no moon the sea so flat

00:30:58.000 nothing broke against the ice they're watching with their bare eyes they have no binoculars

00:31:03.040 because he left with a key he did it intentionally all day other ships had worn of ice

00:31:10.060 ice warnings titanix radio men buried buried why weren't they watching the radio why weren't

00:31:15.880 they getting those reports because they were buried in passenger telegrams the job they were

00:31:21.120 paid for late that night the nearest ship broke in one more time stopped surrounded by ice

00:31:27.320 titanix operator told him shut up we're busy so the man shot off the set and went to bed

00:31:34.260 about 10 minutes later the lookout rang the bell asked under oath how much sooner would you have

00:31:42.320 rung that bell if you had had your glasses he said enough to get away we wouldn't hit the 0.84

00:31:48.460 iceberg if i would have had the binocular see he took the key he was probably a jew 0.77

00:31:53.280 the ship that tried to warn them could see the distracts rockets it never came the only man who

00:32:01.240 could have heard that call was asleep. The lifeboats, Titanic carried more than the law

00:32:07.760 required, but the law was written for smaller ships. Nobody updated it. A key in the wrong

00:32:14.320 pocket, a radio man doing his job, a tired man going to bed, an old rule. There's no

00:32:21.400 villains there, more than 1,500

00:32:23.520 dead.

00:32:28.880 There wasn't a conspiracy, although everybody

00:32:31.220 tried to make it into a conspiracy at the time.

00:32:33.820 You do the small job in front

00:32:35.380 of you like the ship depends on it, and

00:32:37.220 sometimes it does. For a

00:32:39.300 hundred years, we've

00:32:41.440 refused to believe it.

00:32:43.380 It was the sister ship

00:32:44.680 swapped for insurance.

00:32:46.700 It was the banker who

00:32:48.600 canceled his trip.

00:32:52.100 They wanted to sink the rich men who stood in the way of the Federal Reserve.

00:32:57.440 The banker did counsel.

00:32:59.240 The rich men did die.

00:33:00.820 The Fed did come the next year.

00:33:02.640 Every dot is real.

00:33:04.160 But the line between them is not.

00:33:07.220 We want the plot.

00:33:08.400 Why?

00:33:09.080 Why do we want the plot?

00:33:10.260 Why do we insist on these conspiracy theories?

00:33:12.480 Because it's comforting.

00:33:13.980 Believe it or not, it's comforting.

00:33:15.780 A plot means somebody is in charge.

00:33:18.660 Catch him and it can't happen again.

00:33:20.980 But the truth is harder. Nobody's driving. Sometimes, sometimes they are, sometimes they're not.

00:33:27.000 It's just ordinary people doing ordinary jobs, leaving a small hole, and that's how Charlie Kirk gets killed.

00:33:35.740 Safety engineers call it Swiss cheese. You stack the slices, and every one of them has holes.

00:33:40.860 Most days, the holes don't line up.

00:33:45.880 The disaster is the day they do.

00:33:47.840 A familiar courtyard, a wrong head count, a university that deferred, a meeting that never happened, cameras nobody watched.

00:33:57.140 The holes lined up at 1223.

00:34:02.000 You know, I know this game.

00:34:04.940 I've connected dots that weren't connected and had to come back on this microphone and say, okay, I was wrong on that.

00:34:11.240 They weren't connected.

00:34:12.800 The plots I fear are not the ones before the shooting.

00:34:16.340 They're the ones that come after because every show needs a next episode.

00:34:24.720 Who's making their career on episode after episode after episode after episode?

00:34:30.040 The boring answer is usually one episode.

00:34:34.140 The plot is a series that will make you the most famous person in the world.

00:34:41.640 Nobody ever built an audience on, yeah, and then the radio guy went to bed.

00:34:46.340 And the guy just forgot the key was in his pocket.

00:34:51.980 I can't read anybody's heart, but I can read incentive.

00:34:56.500 I live inside it, too.

00:34:59.600 The conspiracy lets the real failures off the hook.

00:35:03.600 That's the problem here.

00:35:05.220 If it was a plot, nobody answers for 13 officers.

00:35:11.180 A courtyard ringed by roofs.

00:35:13.140 a sight the security team

00:35:16.200 never walked with the police

00:35:17.580 nobody fixes the cheese

00:35:19.380 the next speaker stands in the next courtyard

00:35:22.340 under the next roof

00:35:23.560 but here's what came after the Titanic

00:35:29.480 a lifeboat seat for every soul

00:35:33.800 a radio watch

00:35:35.760 24 hours a day

00:35:37.180 an ice patrol that still sails

00:35:40.200 the North Atlantic

00:35:41.260 By the Coast Guard's account, no ship that has heeded its warnings has ever been lost to an iceberg.

00:35:48.900 The theories went nowhere.

00:35:52.700 The theories didn't save anybody.

00:35:55.660 The boring facts did.

00:35:59.580 They've saved countless thousands of lives.

00:36:06.420 By the way, I was doing the research on this.

00:36:08.580 I found the key survived.

00:36:10.780 The key survival is sold at auction about 20 years ago for 90,000 pounds.

00:36:15.700 It's about the size of your thumb.

00:36:19.140 And that's usually the size of the truth.

00:36:22.620 It's inconsequential sometimes.

00:36:24.860 It's just a whole bunch of little teeny pieces.

00:36:27.960 And that's what I found.

00:36:31.120 Every April, a Coast Guard plane flies out over the spot where Titanic went down and drops a wreath into the sea.

00:36:37.680 Not a theory, not an opinion.

00:36:39.260 flowers, a wreath. Then the crew turns around, goes back to watching for more ice.

00:36:46.140 That's how you honor the dead. You get the facts straight. You fix what's broke. You leave the

00:36:53.720 conspiracies where they belong, in the trash can, unless you can actually connect dots and they

00:37:01.740 stand under scrutiny. If any of those dots, I'm going to say it, Candace, if any of those dots

00:37:10.260 had anything, they would be used in a court of law. Shame on you. Shame on you.

00:37:18.740 It looks like everybody made really bad mistakes.

00:37:22.380 Charlie deserves more than this

00:37:27.000 Not a series

00:37:28.680 Not a villain who happens to look like

00:37:31.160 Whoever we are supposed to dislike this week

00:37:34.600 The truth

00:37:36.160 The fix

00:37:37.880 And somebody watching the roof

00:37:40.200 I gotta tell you

00:37:43.280 The opinion age is gonna burn itself out quickly

00:37:45.860 Because it's gonna continue to sell you a plot

00:37:48.600 You give up on the opinions

00:37:52.660 Don't even take mine.

00:37:54.920 Go read.

00:37:55.400 If you want to know the truth, go read the report yourself.

00:37:59.480 The silence says everything.

00:38:01.120 No, actually, the words say everything.

00:38:03.880 Read the report and decide for yourself.

00:38:05.680 Back in just a second.

00:38:09.940 America imports a lot of things.

00:38:11.700 Coffee, bananas, electronics, little plastic things that come with instructions written in six languages.

00:38:18.220 None of which actually explain how to put the thing together, but that's fine.

00:39:38.780 it feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days i mean

00:39:57.040 you probably heard about all that by now there's a lot of commercials pretty much running around

00:40:00.620 the clock uh these results can be dramatic uh but for a lot of people you know giving themselves a

00:40:05.620 shot every week is suboptimal, you know, along with the potential side effects. It's not something

00:40:10.620 that's really appealing to a lot of people. It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose

00:40:14.980 weight. But, you know, do you really want to go that far? Do you really want to use that? Do you

00:40:19.940 want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen? Some people love that. Some people are 0.83

00:40:24.080 real needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say. So the real question comes to you when you say,

00:40:30.280 like, well, how if I want to keep losing weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to

00:40:34.140 maintain weight loss, would I take a different approach? And that's where Lean comes in. Lean

00:41:40.780 uh randy sounds like more monday morning quarterbacking did charlie have presidential

00:41:46.200 level security before this that's what it sounds like everybody expected no he didn't have

00:41:50.500 presidential sir do you know how much that costs you know there is no way jason you were on my

00:41:57.820 security detail i've spent more money on protection in my life for my family i've spent more protection

00:42:05.180 more money than probably any other person on radio or television would you agree with that

00:42:10.220 oh by far yes okay and still we have been very very fortunate but still there's things that

00:42:20.160 could happen and they could kill there unless you are have presidential security with an unlimited

00:42:27.600 budget and even then they have shot at trump how many times you can't stop somebody

00:42:34.120 am i wrong i hate saying that but it is very hard to do it and even jfk we were just talking to the

00:42:43.600 insider said if if all a man needs a willingness to trade their life for the person they're trying

00:42:48.800 to kill and slip ups happen mistakes happen yes it's it's very difficult yep all right more in

00:42:57.720 just a second i want to talk to you about this story that was in the wall street journal about

00:43:02.080 families and how kids are now divorcing their parents over politics that's coming up

00:43:18.800 I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can actually read the news, but we're definitely there.

00:43:26.340 And I see a story and I think, OK, but what actually happened? Not what does the left say? What happened? Not what does the right say?

00:43:32.520 But what actually happened? What do we actually know? This has been so frustrating. And that's how I ended up using free spoke.

00:43:39.560 You can see the coverage from the left, the right and the middle and where the same facts start showing up across all three.

00:43:46.340 then you know okay that's that's it you got something solid you can decide for yourself

00:43:52.440 at that point based on the facts and that's the point search something controversial like

00:46:32.660 enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:43.500 Hello, America. There was a story in the Wall Street Journal about a conference that took

00:46:52.500 place in Chicago. And it was about kids that have said their parents are toxic, abusive,

00:47:04.380 not safe because of politics. And it is a growing problem. It is not a problem that

00:47:11.600 is in the rearview mirror. It is a growing problem. And I want to talk to you about it

00:47:15.880 because so many people are going through it.

00:47:18.260 And it is, it's loaded.

00:47:23.380 If you have lost children and grandchildren

00:47:26.000 because of this and this these days,

00:47:30.060 you are not alone.

00:47:33.120 And this is a loaded topic for me

00:47:40.700 because you are not alone.

00:47:43.160 But I am going to do my best to control my, I would have to say emotions, because I am so, there are times that I am so mad.

00:47:56.760 There are times that I am so incredibly sad.

00:48:00.980 There are times that I am very reflective on my problems.

00:48:06.920 I mean, this is an emotional time bomb, and I want to talk to you about it, tell you what

00:48:16.380 this story said, and see if we can defuse this bomb that's inside all of us.

00:48:24.120 We'll do that here in 60 seconds.

00:48:26.320 First, pre-born.

00:48:28.040 There are photographs in your house that would mean absolutely nothing to a stranger.

00:48:32.540 A baby asleep in a car seat, a toddler covered in birthday cake.

00:48:36.680 the first day of school. To somebody else, it's just a picture. To you, it's your entire world.

00:48:42.400 Because you know everything that came after that moment. Now imagine that first picture came before

00:48:48.120 the baby was even born, that ultrasound. That can give a mom facing an unplanned pregnancy a chance

00:48:53.660 to see the child she sees she's carrying. Preborn supports pregnancy clinics all across America to

00:49:00.180 provide ultrasounds to women at no cost to them, along with compassionate support when they're

00:49:05.580 sure what to do next, and that ultrasound can make something that feels abstract suddenly very

00:49:10.420 real. There's a child in there, a life already underway, a person who, given the chance, could

00:49:16.160 someday fill an entire photo album. Right now, another mom needs that moment. Will you give it

00:49:22.420 to her? $28 will provide one life-saving ultrasound. $140 will rescue five babies.

00:49:29.520 Please give whatever you can. Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. It's pound 250,

00:49:33.960 keyword, baby, go to preborn.com slash beck. That's preborn.com slash beck, sponsored by

00:49:38.700 preborn. This last summer in a conference room in Chicago, more than 200 moms and dads

00:49:47.720 filled chairs. Some of them flew in from as far as Australia. Another 250 watched online.

00:49:54.760 Every one of them has a grown child who stopped speaking to them. Wall Street Journal was

00:50:01.580 in that room and they reported on it. One mom, a retired event planner from Atlanta, hasn't heard

00:50:07.760 from her 28-year-old son in three years. What still stuns her is all the kids are using the

00:50:17.120 same words. Narcissist, self-absorbed, your fault. A Cornell sociologist found that at any given time 0.99

00:50:25.200 about one American in 10 is cut off from a parent or a child

00:50:29.600 and one in four from some close relative.

00:50:33.880 Last month alone, more than 138,000 new TikTok videos

00:50:40.000 were posted about cutting off their parents.

00:50:47.480 This is 10 times what it was in August of 2020.

00:50:52.920 10 times.

00:50:55.200 A family therapist surveyed 1,000 estranged parents.

00:50:59.980 82% said the same labels show up right before the door is closed.

00:51:06.740 And that is, you're toxic, you're abusive, this is an unsafe...

00:51:10.680 Oh, I can't take it.

00:51:16.140 Researchers have a name for it.

00:51:18.240 Concept creep.

00:51:20.720 Ordinary conflict, criticism, a hard disagreement,

00:51:23.620 a parent who doesn't approve gets relabeled as toxic, harmful, dangerous.

00:51:32.820 And once it's harm, leaving isn't a rupture, it's self-care.

00:51:39.120 It's brave.

00:51:41.340 There's a video for it. There's a coach for it.

00:51:44.240 There's paid support groups for it.

00:51:46.580 One psychologist in the piece says that for some adults

00:51:53.160 Cutting off a parent is their first chance at teenage rebellion

00:51:58.080 You're so brave

00:51:59.700 He says a parent who disagrees is no longer seen as a family with shared history

00:52:05.620 But as a member of the other tribe

00:52:07.840 A professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota

00:52:11.660 Summed up what changed in the counselor's office

00:52:14.500 Therapists gave estrangement the professional authoritative stamp of approval.

00:52:20.240 Why are we listening to these experts?

00:52:24.440 Now, some parents are dangerous.

00:52:27.220 Some children are abused, beaten, terrorized.

00:52:32.060 And you've got to leave them because it's a matter of survival.

00:52:38.680 And the generation before mine looked away from that.

00:52:42.100 I'm proud that we look at that.

00:52:44.080 If that's your story, nobody in this program is going to tell you to go back to that house.

00:52:52.840 And some parents need to hear what their kids are saying before they dismiss it.

00:52:58.200 A grievance can be exaggerated but can still be true.

00:53:02.300 And I'm open to hear it.

00:53:04.740 I am open to hear it.

00:53:09.580 But that's not what 138,000 videos a month are about. 0.73

00:53:14.080 For 20 years, this generation told us, rightly, that a parent who cuts off a child for being gay or living a life a parent didn't approve of has failed as a parent.

00:53:25.200 Good parents, we were told, love their kids no matter what.

00:53:28.420 And you know what?

00:53:29.380 They were right.

00:53:34.740 Now, let me turn this around.

00:53:37.080 I'm sorry.

00:53:37.900 I get a little angry.

00:53:38.740 Let me turn this around on the same young adults who are now passing judgment, slamming

00:53:47.000 the door on a mom or a dad for believing something you don't, and then you call it enlightenment.

00:53:55.740 I got news for you.

00:53:57.100 That's the same sin with the chairs turned around.

00:54:02.600 Okay.

00:54:08.740 I'm not sure how much more

00:54:24.440 I can take from these

00:54:25.600 safe space, over pampered 1.00

00:54:28.200 everybody gets a trophy

00:54:29.680 holier than thou crowd

00:54:31.320 I can't take it

00:54:33.920 But when the Lord attends me,

00:54:46.900 I find this really sad.

00:54:55.940 Your parent is hurting deeply,

00:55:00.240 And they will feel that pain to the end of their life.

00:55:06.840 But I want to tell you something, and this is the saddest part.

00:55:11.020 Their pain is going to end long before yours does.

00:55:16.140 See, we've lost parents already, and that never goes away.

00:55:23.980 And you will have decades left to live with a divorce.

00:55:28.880 You filed yourself and didn't even, in many cases, give it a hearing.

00:55:42.900 We've been here before, not with an app, but with a war.

00:55:47.300 We've been here before.

00:55:49.900 We were here during the Civil War.

00:55:51.800 We were here in the Revolutionary War.

00:55:54.120 Ben Franklin, one of the saddest stories.

00:55:56.180 He had one son, William.

00:55:57.880 He raised him.

00:55:58.880 Took him to London, watched him become the royal governor of New Jersey, and then came the revolution.

00:56:05.720 The father chose the country. The son chose the king.

00:56:11.400 William was arrested in 1776, spent two years in an American prison,

00:56:16.100 and when he got out, he led loyalists against the causes father had bet his life on.

00:56:22.140 Nine years without a word.

00:56:25.440 Then the war ended.

00:56:26.160 Franklin was the one who signed the peace with Britain

00:56:30.940 And it was Franklin who reached out first

00:56:34.000 He dropped a hint through a merchant headed for London

00:56:38.720 Why hasn't my son made any move towards reconciliation?

00:56:44.840 If nations can make peace, why can't we?

00:56:50.500 William wrote back

00:56:51.640 He asked to revive the affection that had been, in his word, the pride and happiness of his life

00:56:59.720 He also said if all of it happened again tomorrow, he'd do exactly the same thing

00:57:06.720 Franklin answered with a letter you can still read, we should post it

00:57:14.020 Nothing has ever hurt me so much, he wrote

00:57:16.080 As to find myself deserted in my old age by my own son

00:57:21.500 And then he wrote the wisest thing in it.

00:57:26.180 I ought not blame you for differing with me.

00:57:30.560 We are all men subject to errors.

00:57:35.100 Our opinions are not in our own power.

00:57:40.140 And then this.

00:57:41.700 There are natural duties which precede political ones

00:57:44.980 and cannot be extinguished by them.

00:57:48.280 Franklin knew the answer

00:57:52.220 He wrote it down

00:57:55.040 He could not do it

00:58:00.960 They met once more

00:58:05.100 In an English port in 1785

00:58:07.040 A few days of business

00:58:08.800 Settling of property

00:58:10.340 Franklin settled home

00:58:12.600 They never saw each other again

00:58:14.780 When his will was read

00:58:17.940 the son got almost nothing

00:58:19.380 with one line of explanation.

00:58:23.440 The part he acted against me

00:58:25.160 in the late war.

00:58:28.920 The man who made peace

00:58:30.480 with the British Empire

00:58:31.480 couldn't make peace

00:58:33.000 with his own son.

00:58:36.580 And it cuts both ways. 0.77

00:58:37.860 The father was right about the war. 1.00

00:58:39.200 The son believed he was right 0.62

00:58:40.280 about his duty.

00:58:41.900 Both were proud.

00:58:43.740 Each wanted the other to go first.

00:58:45.880 And when the other one didn't,

00:58:46.980 it wasn't enough.

00:58:52.340 Being right didn't give either one of them

00:58:54.580 a father or a son back.

00:58:58.820 I'm telling you that piece of history

00:59:00.360 because nothing's new.

00:59:03.080 The riff isn't new.

00:59:05.160 The families have split over kings and churches

00:59:07.300 and money, a thousand smaller things since Cain.

00:59:11.600 Here's what's new.

00:59:13.280 The applause.

00:59:14.260 the cheering, the coaching

00:59:17.680 the verbiage that goes along with it

00:59:22.660 to celebrate your courage for destroying your family

00:59:27.700 over an opinion

00:59:28.720 and I don't care who started it

00:59:30.580 I don't care who's responsible for it

00:59:32.720 it's your family

00:59:34.100 I've lost four

00:59:43.240 dear family members

00:59:45.980 I don't know if I'll ever see them again

00:59:48.460 I write all the time

00:59:52.380 I never get word back

00:59:55.400 you are not alone

01:00:04.100 Franklin at least called it what it was,

01:00:11.560 the thing that hurt him most in his life.

01:00:14.860 He didn't post it as a victory.

01:00:22.420 Nobody coached him through it.

01:00:24.400 Nobody sold him a membership.

01:00:26.760 Today, there's a whole economy standing at the door,

01:00:29.520 cheering while those doors close.

01:00:31.140 an algorithm that noticed what you lingered on

01:00:35.080 and feeds you more of it

01:00:36.580 influencers who are only credentialists

01:00:38.620 they did it too

01:00:39.720 and often it's a professional

01:00:44.040 who's never met your mom

01:00:45.400 telling you the reason is her

01:00:48.960 that you're the brave one

01:00:52.860 even the man who runs one of the biggest

01:00:56.720 estrangement support groups in the country

01:00:58.660 admits it

01:01:01.880 The person on your phone isn't listening to you, doesn't know you, can't judge your situation.

01:01:08.560 A stranger's story is not your diagnosis.

01:01:15.120 To the grown kids, honor your father and your mother.

01:01:20.500 Paul called it the first commandment with a promise attached.

01:01:25.480 He doesn't ever say, agree with them.

01:01:28.180 He doesn't say, obey them forever.

01:01:31.140 He doesn't say, let them hurt you.

01:01:33.280 He says, honor them.

01:01:39.880 Honor can be done from a distance with rules and limits.

01:01:43.960 Basic kindness for people who bore you and raised you.

01:01:53.440 Who worried when you were sick.

01:01:55.500 who still think of you every single day.

01:02:09.700 Boundary is a fence with a gate.

01:02:12.380 A cutoff is a wall with no door.

01:02:15.440 Know which one you're building and who sold you the bricks.

01:02:19.980 And to the parents in Chicago,

01:02:22.260 go first, not with a defense.

01:02:25.020 Surrender.

01:02:26.380 Just ask a question.

01:02:29.260 What did I do to hurt you to deserve this?

01:02:35.660 And then do the hardest thing a parent ever does.

01:02:38.120 Don't explain.

01:02:38.740 Just listen.

01:02:40.800 You don't have to agree.

01:02:43.540 Just hear it.

01:02:48.220 A door you closed to punish something,

01:02:51.660 to punish the actions, to punish someone.

01:02:55.500 You close that door, that door locks from both sides.

01:03:01.760 Benjamin Franklin died in 1790.

01:03:04.240 His son outlived him by 23 years in London, a man without a country,

01:03:08.180 and in the end, a man without a dad.

01:03:13.200 They were both right about something.

01:03:15.980 It didn't matter.

01:03:16.960 I know how hard it is to write

01:03:26.340 even though you think about them

01:03:29.000 every single day

01:03:30.280 multiple times a day

01:03:31.800 never stop writing

01:03:38.740 never stop texting

01:03:41.060 never stop calling

01:03:42.040 reach them one way or another

01:03:46.940 in hopes that they will read that text, that email, that letter.

01:03:57.160 Franklin wrote them.

01:04:00.860 For us, those words, for us, 240-some years ago,

01:04:06.120 we are all men subject to errors.

01:04:09.380 The natural duties come first.

01:04:13.800 Write the letter, no matter which side you're on,

01:04:16.940 Write the letter, and when the answer comes, let it be enough.

01:04:24.320 I will pray for you and ask that you pray for me.

01:04:32.440 Together, maybe we can all heal our families at some point.

01:04:36.680 More in a minute.

01:04:39.340 There are some emergencies that come out of nowhere, and then there's a winter storm.

01:04:43.880 A weather service starts talking about it days ahead.

01:04:46.940 You know, your phone starts beeping at you, and the local news puts a giant blue blob over your entire state.

01:04:52.000 Basically, nature sends you a save-the-date, yet every year people still wait to know until the snow starts falling to prepare.

01:05:00.000 That's when the stores get picked over, the roads get bad, and everybody suddenly has the same shopping list.

01:05:05.320 My Patriot Supply saw that happen in a winter.

01:05:08.400 They see it every winter.

01:05:10.380 Their Vesta indoor heater and stove sold out again and again,

01:05:13.840 all when the major storms threatened and people rushed to get ready.

01:05:17.440 So this year, they put together a winter prep bundle.

01:05:20.880 You get 114 servings of emergency food, a Vesta heater, a stove that's safe to use indoors,

01:05:28.380 backup power, solar charging, emergency lighting, thermal blankets, food, heat, power, light, everything you need.

01:05:35.420 Don't wait. Just get it now.

01:05:36.960 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:05:38.060 You can save up to $300 on the complete bundle.

01:05:40.460 Don't wait until the forecast sends everybody scrambling again.

01:05:43.140 Then go to preparewithglenn.com.

01:05:44.780 Get your winter prep bundle while it's still available.

01:05:47.880 It's preparewithglenn.com.

01:05:50.860 10-second station ID.

01:06:04.440 So there is a story on our newsletter this morning from John Solomon's Just the News.

01:06:08.900 talks about a global crackdown on radical left-wing violence in groups like Antifa.

01:06:14.720 Back in July, Marco Rubio addressed representatives from over 60 countries.

01:06:20.180 He said, and I'm quoting,

01:06:21.540 Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas

01:06:25.460 to participate in each other's attacks, defundal propaganda and training,

01:06:30.120 materials, target information, and shared encrypted channels

01:06:33.260 moving through underground networks of safe houses, finance,

01:06:37.200 and sustain their operations

01:06:38.680 through transnational funds.

01:06:41.500 Hmm.

01:06:42.200 When he said that,

01:06:42.900 it got us all to thinking,

01:06:44.080 you know,

01:06:44.900 how are they funded?

01:06:46.220 How are they doing this

01:06:47.020 through international networks?

01:06:48.580 What does that even mean?

01:06:50.240 We partnered with Data Republican

01:06:52.040 to get to the bottom of it.

01:06:53.280 She tracked down the organizations

01:06:54.600 and followed the money.

01:06:55.780 And what she provided 0.99

01:06:56.500 was a wild look

01:06:57.440 into how these groups

01:06:58.320 influence American politics,

01:07:00.080 sentiment, and street action.

01:07:01.100 And Marco Rubio

01:07:02.520 was exactly right.

01:07:04.740 This is next Thursday.

01:07:06.240 We show you the fundamental transformation of America through funding, organizing, and influence on a global scale.

01:07:15.340 You don't want to miss this.

01:07:17.120 Powered by Data Republican Research, don't miss our next Torch special.

01:07:21.380 It is next Thursday, only on Torch.

01:07:24.900 When something goes wrong, the worst time to discover you only have one option is right then.

01:07:30.640 Because real life doesn't appear and arrive in a nice, neat category.

01:07:34.680 There's a whole lot of territory between everything is fine and a situation where lethal force is the right response.

01:07:41.880 That territory is why I like Burna.

01:07:44.040 Burna gives you another option for protecting yourself and your family when you need to stop a threat, but lethal force isn't the answer all the time.

01:07:51.060 Their less lethal launchers can fire kinetic rounds and chemical irritant projectiles.

01:07:56.020 It's tear gas.

01:07:57.000 I mean, you can have the pepper, but I load it with tear gas.

01:08:00.320 You have the ability to respond without having to get close to a potential threat.

01:08:03.700 you can have 60 feet away technology from Burna that means your launcher is ready when you need

01:08:10.240 it there are no background checks permits required Burna launchers are legal to own in all 50 states

01:08:15.760 can be shipped directly to you this is not about replacing one line of defense this is about adding

01:08:21.200 another one and having a second choice when seconds matter go to Burna byrna.com slash

01:08:57.320 Hey, I'm struggling here because the phones are lit up.

01:09:18.340 The messages that are coming in from the insiders, everybody is relating to this.

01:09:25.120 Everybody has it.

01:09:27.020 Everybody has it in their family.

01:09:29.560 I mean, 138,000 of us are estranged from our children every single month.

01:09:35.920 Every single month.

01:09:38.080 And there's a whole industry built up for this.

01:09:41.320 And I have to tell you, I can't.

01:09:46.040 You know, let me play something.

01:09:47.580 Let me take you to someplace funny.

01:09:51.560 Because you see this, if you don't know it's a parody,

01:09:54.400 you're going to be out you're going to be outraged by it i want you to know it's a parody but this

01:09:59.280 parody is so believable today so many people will believe this where 10 years ago you wouldn't

01:10:07.560 believe this cut seven please this mom on school lunches my son school recently implemented a new

01:10:14.560 policy that says that no food and student lunch boxes can be over 12 decibels they even sent home

01:10:21.380 a little device for us to practice with the foods that we're planning on sending to make sure that

01:10:26.360 it meets those requirements. There's this letter that got sent to us, and I'm going to read you

01:10:32.080 part of it. This is the device that they sent us to practice with. So it says, as part of our

01:10:37.660 ongoing effort to create a calm, focused, and respectful lunchtime environment, they were going

01:10:42.920 to be piloting this Decibel Aware Lunch Initiative, and they acronymed it DALI, and they want students

01:10:51.160 to practice at home they gave this list of decibels of common foods so there's no apples

01:11:00.600 no chips no popcorn no crunchy like crusted sandwiches no pretzels granola bars celery

01:11:06.940 could you i mean you might believe that you'd be like it's california right it's california

01:11:15.500 it's not my state it's got to be one of those crazy it's california right no it's a parody

01:11:20.400 thank God. But that's the problem with our society. Nobody does anything hard anymore.

01:11:29.940 Nobody does anything hard anymore. Now, I'm going to grant it's hard to grow up with phones.

01:11:40.700 But that's a choice. Turn it off. It is hard to have people say what they say about you.

01:11:48.020 Believe me, I know that one.

01:11:50.740 I was being bashed on social media before being bashed on social media was cool.

01:11:57.700 I've been called every name under the sun.

01:11:59.460 And you can either let that destroy you or you can shut it off and not read it and don't care.

01:12:05.460 It's really hard.

01:12:08.160 But you have to do it.

01:12:09.580 those who suffered through covid and had their high school years or their college years just

01:12:19.040 thrown out i don't know what to do about that but there's good news today i should just read a

01:12:24.780 report today that generation is recovering from it they're starting to make progress again and

01:12:31.800 They're getting over it.

01:12:37.760 Everybody is, oh my gosh, I've got to have a safe space.

01:12:42.000 No, you don't.

01:12:42.640 Life isn't safe.

01:12:44.220 Why in our wildest dreams did we buy into that?

01:12:49.620 Did we ever repeat that?

01:12:51.900 I need a safe space.

01:12:53.480 Well, I guess you'll get one in heaven.

01:12:56.560 You better work towards that though, 0.99

01:12:58.440 because you could go to hell. 0.99

01:12:59.560 And believe me, there's no safe space there.

01:13:04.020 There's no place on earth that is safe.

01:13:07.280 None.

01:13:08.360 Zero. 0.98

01:13:12.200 I feel so stupid saying this. 0.97

01:13:13.920 My mother used to say, 1.00

01:13:14.600 steaks and stones can break your bones,

01:13:15.960 but name will never. 1.00

01:13:17.140 That, you want a tattoo, sweetheart, 1.00

01:13:19.260 put that one on your forehead.

01:13:21.820 You'll remember it every time you look in that mirror

01:13:24.160 with your purple hair and the rings

01:13:26.720 coming out of your nose,

01:13:28.100 you're piercing your eyelid put that sticks and stones because when everybody goes wow you're a

01:13:34.160 freak do you just remember that doesn't mean anything to you you look great in that piercing

01:13:39.600 no you don't you look like you know what you look i look at you and i feel sad i feel very 0.55

01:13:48.460 very sad because you are screaming for attention. You want somebody just to notice you.

01:13:59.580 Either that, and it's probably a combination, you feel so horrible about yourself that you

01:14:06.560 have to destroy yourself. You have to pierce yourself, destroy what God gave you. 0.85

01:14:15.620 You know, there's another story today. Let me see if I can find this.

01:14:19.480 Because it kind of goes along with it in a weird way.

01:14:24.580 There's an article in The Atlantic of all places.

01:14:27.580 The hypothesis is that when marriage and sex are endowed with a sense of sacredness

01:14:32.560 and the family-friendly values found in faith, they are both more likely to be satisfying.

01:14:40.100 This is according to a new report, Institute of Family Studies.

01:14:44.040 They're showing no group of Americans seems to be having more sex and more satisfying sex than a married man and woman who regularly attend church. 0.95

01:14:55.720 That group is made mostly of Christians but also includes Jews and Muslims. 0.72

01:15:00.560 In fact, we find the only Americans who have avoided the country's sex recession in which fewer and fewer men and women are having regular sex are husbands and wives who attend religious services at least twice a month. 0.99

01:15:14.040 So all this thing about, oh, well, you're just a prude. 0.95

01:15:16.940 Nope, apparently they're getting it on.

01:15:19.140 Apparently they're having a great time.

01:15:22.740 Those who go to church seem to have a great time.

01:15:26.680 Those who don't, not so much.

01:15:29.720 Not so much. 0.79

01:15:30.540 Why?

01:15:30.920 You're so free.

01:15:32.520 You're so free.

01:15:33.560 You can do anything with anyone.

01:15:37.240 I'll tell you why.

01:15:38.240 because you view your body as a meat suit.

01:15:45.020 And so everything you do to your body

01:15:47.680 or you have done to your body

01:15:50.080 or you use your body for,

01:15:52.840 it's a meat suit, so it has less meaning.

01:15:56.860 But if you believe your body is a sacred gift,

01:16:00.360 then every act can be like a sacrament

01:16:02.500 loaded with endless meaning and endless joy.

01:16:05.100 there's a real difference between real sex given as a gift from god and the cheap counterfeit they

01:16:12.540 try to sell you in this godless world go ahead watch it on the screen until it becomes meaningless 0.57

01:16:18.800 and makes you hate your own body and everybody else's and you're not interested in anything

01:16:24.120 anymore it's a counterfeit it's a lie it's evil all of this stuff that is destroying these families

01:16:30.560 Where do you think that's coming from?

01:16:33.400 I mean, remember when everybody first found that BLM, on their website,

01:16:38.520 one of their first goals was to dismantle the family? 0.52

01:16:42.780 And we thought that was evil.

01:16:44.520 Now, everything is dismantling the family, and we don't find that evil.

01:16:49.240 We find that therapeutic.

01:16:51.360 We find that safe.

01:16:53.240 We find that empowering.

01:16:56.140 Do you?

01:16:57.540 Do you? 1.00

01:17:00.560 You can watch sex. 1.00

01:17:08.140 You can have sex with whatever, dressed as an animal. 1.00

01:17:13.140 Whatever. 1.00

01:17:14.340 It's going to get bad.

01:17:15.900 It's going to get boring. 1.00

01:17:17.940 Well, I've already had sex with you dressed as a deer. 0.99

01:17:21.280 What else could we do? 1.00

01:17:23.040 Oh, God.

01:17:25.760 You do that, or you can go the other way.

01:17:30.560 And have it become a reminder of the goodness of God and the sacredness of your own marriage

01:17:34.700 and how much you love your spouse. 0.96

01:17:40.160 Don't listen to people who say religious people are prudes that don't have sex. 0.86

01:17:44.360 Religious people are the ones who are actually having a lot of it right now 0.98

01:17:47.580 and enjoying a lot of it.

01:17:50.980 And did I mention have a lot of it?

01:17:56.280 All of these things are coming back because they're all true.

01:18:00.560 they're all true. Go ahead, have premarital sex, have all you want. Look at the stats. 0.99

01:18:07.760 Your chances of having a successful marriage fall dramatically. That's not me. That's not

01:18:13.640 God punishing you. That's just the way it is. It's just the way it is. Because God's got to

01:18:19.520 be somewhere in there. You know, my wife turned me down twice. I mean, not for sex, because that

01:18:24.800 would be a very low number. That's a very high number. I mean, turn me down for marriage.

01:18:30.560 no why why I mean all this at the time I had nothing I had nothing I had no future

01:18:41.040 a recovering alcoholic divorced two kids I mean I was a real catch why she could have

01:18:49.740 gone on with a list forever her list was one thing we don't share God we don't have God in

01:18:56.400 common. Neither of us, neither of us were happy with our churches. We don't have God in common.

01:19:03.620 We have to find something that we can pursue together, that we both like and want to pursue.

01:19:14.580 She was absolutely right. She was right to say no. She was absolutely right.

01:19:21.420 I tell my kids that right now.

01:19:25.620 You have to be pursuing God and you have to find somebody.

01:19:29.600 Honestly, honestly, if you pray, God will help you find your way

01:19:39.360 and you will find the church that is right and true for you and for life.

01:19:47.640 God will help you find the truth.

01:19:51.420 wherever you are right now is right where you're supposed to be.

01:19:57.520 You're all lined up to go find his truth.

01:20:01.420 Not yours, his.

01:20:07.600 And without that in the center of you, you're not going to make it.

01:20:10.840 You're not going to make it.

01:20:13.200 Maybe that's one of the reasons why we're having so many problems with our families

01:20:16.640 is because, and this is convicting me, not you,

01:20:26.200 because maybe we didn't do enough on the God front.

01:20:34.540 I don't know.

01:20:38.820 But all these lies are going to come down, crashing down.

01:20:41.800 trust me in 10 years all of this will be

01:20:47.420 all of this will be people will be disgusted by this in the next 10 years we're going to start

01:20:54.940 persecuting each other that's that's what's next in this if you if history is correct we start

01:21:00.820 persecuting each other we start blaming each other and we start saying you know what it was 0.93

01:21:05.140 your fault because you were for trump no it's your fault because you were for marxist you know 0.54

01:21:10.380 what i'm gonna round all of you up because you can't that's what that's what happens in societies

01:21:15.060 we're now at the the zenith of the we the time where we're all like we've got to belong to a

01:21:23.660 group and now it's starting to come down and so now we're going to start criminalizing one another

01:21:29.980 it's going to get worse the breakup of your family is going to get worse because now we're

01:21:36.280 going to look for criminals. Unless we choose not to, unless we know how history does this

01:21:44.660 every time and what people do every single time. And we say, no, I'm not going to do that. I'm not

01:21:51.420 going to do that. It's going to be hard because there's a whole business into this now. And

01:21:58.880 there's country after country after country that wants us to do it. They're encouraging us to do

01:22:03.880 it. You think all of this stuff on TikTok, you ever notice what TikTok, have you ever seen what

01:22:08.820 TikTok is like in China? It's not like this. Huh? Why wouldn't China allow this in their country?

01:22:15.280 But they're fine shipping this garbage over to us because they're fine with us destroying 0.99

01:22:20.100 ourselves and our families and our morals. That's what they need to control the world. 0.98

01:22:25.900 And we're just lemmings. Stop being a lemming. Stop doing it. Stop following the crowd. Stop 0.93

01:22:32.780 trying to be the influencer. Stop. Just be you. Just be you. Be the best version of you. Go find

01:22:44.220 God. Go find him. He's looking for you. He's right now. He's like, come on, dude. Come on.

01:22:50.780 You know that's the answer. Come on. Come find me. I dare you. Go find him. He wants you to.

01:22:58.180 Go to church.

01:22:59.420 I don't care which church.

01:23:00.620 Go to church.

01:23:02.200 Talk to a pastor.

01:23:03.420 Most of them are probably going to piss you off.

01:23:05.840 Go to another one.

01:23:07.180 And then the next Sunday, go to another one.

01:23:09.020 You'll find one.

01:23:10.060 You'll find one.

01:23:13.460 But you want to solve all of our problems?

01:23:16.920 You're not going to.

01:23:18.380 But God will.

01:23:20.940 And according to this latest survey,

01:23:23.980 you could cut sex out of it.

01:23:25.900 So what do you have to lose?

01:23:27.280 All right. More in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Mercury One. Let me, you know what? Instead of doing this commercial, I better do the commercial because I barely have time. I got to tell you something that's happened with Mercury One that's very exciting.

01:23:42.180 Anyway, think about the number three for a second, because right now, Mercury One, three means something very different than it usually does.

01:23:49.400 It means one act of generosity can reach three completely different battlegrounds, human suffering, religious persecution, and the fight to preserve America's story.

01:23:58.860 We are building a new permanent 175,000 square foot home in Irving, Texas.

01:24:04.460 The entire Mercury One family, Mercury One will be able to expand its humanitarian work.

01:24:09.520 The Nazarene Fund will continue helping persecuted Christians get away from persecution.

01:24:15.580 And the American Journey Experience has a permanent home for preserving and teaching history in a museum setting that will blow your mind.

01:24:22.500 It's hopefully going to be opening up early next year.

01:24:25.540 Every gift to this campaign is being matched dollar for dollar up to $300,000.

01:24:30.100 We've spent 15 years building these missions.

01:24:32.980 Now we're carrying all three of them into the future.

01:24:35.300 While this three-times impact campaign is underway, we have exciting news.

01:24:39.840 Every single gift is matched dollar for dollar up to 300 grand, so please act right now.

01:24:44.840 That's one gift doubled by the match, tripled in reach across the whole Mercury One family.

01:24:50.220 Give now. MercuryOne.org. That's MercuryOne.org.

01:24:57.540 You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh?

01:25:01.540 Glenn Beck will be right back.

01:25:05.300 I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can actually read the news, but we're definitely there.

01:25:23.020 And I see a story and I think, OK, but what actually happened? Not what does the left say? What happened? Not what does the right say? But what actually happened? What do we actually know?

01:25:32.020 This has been so frustrating, and that's how I ended up using FreeSpoke.

01:25:36.200 You can see the coverage from the left, the right, and the middle,

01:25:39.780 and where the same facts start showing up across all three,

01:25:43.140 then you know, okay, that's it.

01:25:45.700 You got something solid.

01:25:47.300 You can decide for yourself at that point based on the facts,

01:25:50.500 and that's the point.

01:25:51.320 Search something controversial like who controls the media.

01:25:54.600 On FreeSpoke, you'll get news and information from across the spectrum,

01:25:58.120 full picture, not just what the algorithm says you want to see. I don't need somebody else

01:26:03.140 deciding what I'm supposed to think. I will find the facts and I will decide. I've got

01:26:09.260 free spoke pulled up right now. Free spoke, one word, free, free speech, free spoke.

01:26:15.720 so justin haskins uh is joining me after the top of the hour he has been a co-author of mine of

01:26:35.040 couple of my books i think three of my books um he is also the author of the next big crash

01:26:39.740 conspiracy collapse and the men behind history's biggest heist.

01:26:44.160 But he has a new poll out, and it is terrifying.

01:26:51.020 What we're finding out about those under 30, truly terrifying, 0.64

01:26:55.740 especially when it comes to Sharia law 0.99

01:26:57.480 and what you're willing to do for cheaper gas prices.

01:28:25.740 You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

01:28:28.560 You can walk into a bedroom, you can take one look at your kid and go,

01:28:31.060 yeah, he's getting sick.

01:28:32.440 You don't need a thermometer.

01:28:33.560 You don't need a doctor.

01:28:34.320 You just know, right?

01:28:36.120 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

01:28:39.240 The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

01:28:43.540 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

01:28:45.460 And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

01:28:49.520 That's why I advise you prepare before the first cough starts.

01:30:00.660 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

01:30:17.060 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program there is a new poll that is coming out this week

01:30:27.240 In a few days, it'll be released nationwide. You're getting it early.

01:30:30.820 And it is shocking. Shocking.

01:30:34.520 I'm going to go through, over the next two days, what's in this poll.

01:30:39.220 Justin Haskins is joining me. He is a co-author of mine.

01:30:44.760 He is also the president of Our Republic, senior fellow at Our Republic,

01:30:51.780 and the author of The Next Big Crash, which came out a couple of months ago.

01:30:57.240 I think in spring, actually.

01:30:59.300 And it's a great, great book.

01:31:01.760 He is really, really buttoned up.

01:31:04.000 Wait until you hear his latest poll.

01:31:05.700 Now, listen, we're going to answer these questions.

01:31:09.220 What percentage of Americans want to nationalize health care, energy, and big tech?

01:31:16.440 Just so you know, that's the first step to become Venezuela.

01:31:19.540 What is the percentage? 0.56

01:31:22.100 What's the percentage of Republicans that now want to do that?

01:31:25.280 how many want a socialist candidate for president in 2028 what was the response on this question

01:31:36.340 would you support a proposal that would end war in iran and provide the united states with low

01:31:42.400 oil and gas prices in exchange for completely dismantling the nation of israel and replacing

01:31:50.580 it with a new palestinian-led nation how many americans said yes to that 0.63

01:31:58.580 this will open your eyes we go there in 60 seconds first let me tell you about the international

01:32:07.780 fellowship if you're a christian i want you to think about your faith before you begin you know

01:32:14.680 anything uh think about your faith before there was the word christian there was abraham moses

01:32:20.960 david isaiah psalms the prophets jerusalem even the prayers and the scriptures jesus himself

01:32:27.200 knew from childhood you cannot separate christianity from the jewish authority

01:32:31.840 story without pulling out its roots and that kills the tree that's what's happening to the 0.51

01:32:37.800 jewish people and that's why it should matter to you and it deeply if you're a christian the

01:32:43.560 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has spent decades turning that shared history

01:32:47.720 into action. We provide food and shelter and essential help to vulnerable Jewish people

01:32:52.400 in Israel and around the world. But there's something else Christians can give that just 0.99

01:32:57.020 doesn't come in a food box. It's a prayer. That's the heart behind the flags of fellowship.

01:33:01.840 Christians standing openly with the Jewish people and praying for peace in Israel.

01:33:05.500 Because it's not about taking interest in somebody else's history. Their history is

01:33:10.400 our history. It runs deeply through our faith. When Jewish people are facing hatred, they should

01:33:16.260 know the Christians are standing with them. Can we do this one time and get it right? Can we? 0.92

01:33:22.900 Or are we going to let it end the same way it always ends? Join believers across America in

01:33:27.060 this powerful act of remembrance and solidarity with Israel. Learn how you can make your church

01:33:32.360 You can make a difference at join fof.org join fof.org do it now

01:33:41.200 Justin welcome to the program this this poll that you just are releasing here this week

01:33:49.660 is absolutely terrifying yes it is it is it's one of the more terrifying polls I've done

01:33:56.340 I've done dozens of polls over many years as you know you have highlighted a lot of them

01:34:01.200 One of the key things that I'm always looking for is to find out just how insane America has become, especially with younger people, especially on the left, been tracking it for a long time.

01:34:12.300 And as this poll illustrates very, very clearly, it's really a series of polls, they all illustrate the same thing. Younger people and the Democratic Party is so far gone and detached from reality that it's hard to believe how crazy things have actually gotten.

01:34:31.980 And we have a lot of work to do on the right to try to repair this, because eventually younger people are going to be the majority voting bloc. 0.69

01:34:40.280 And when that happens, God help us, because they have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world, and we're going to talk about it in this poll. 0.99

01:34:50.400 Okay.

01:34:52.480 Give me the first one that want socialist president.

01:34:56.980 How many people want a socialist president overall, Democrats, and then Republicans?

01:35:03.660 Yeah.

01:35:04.360 So actually, that poll question is not in this poll.

01:35:07.440 That's from a different poll that we did a while ago.

01:35:10.160 No, but the answer to that question is, generally speaking, support for socialist presidential

01:35:17.020 candidates is pretty low.

01:35:19.380 But with younger people, it's around 50%.

01:35:22.160 So about 50% of people say under the age of 30 or so that they want a democratic socialist president in 2028. So they want a socialist now. And when you trace all sorts of other socialist and Marxist questions that I've asked in previous polls, you'll see that it's around 40, 50%. Sometimes it drops below 40%, depending on the question.

01:35:49.000 But you ask about socialist policies like nationalizing, whole industries.

01:35:53.920 You ask about, you know, you name it.

01:35:57.580 Health care, energy, and big tech.

01:35:59.660 Health care, energy, and big tech.

01:36:01.340 It is 76%.

01:36:03.200 76.

01:36:05.020 Yeah, exactly.

01:36:05.880 And so widespread support among younger people for socialism.

01:36:09.460 So you're looking at socialism.

01:36:11.840 Remember, red-green alliance.

01:36:13.760 So you've got socialism.

01:36:15.760 That's the red.

01:36:16.520 Now let's look at the green. 1.00

01:36:18.080 Islam and these numbers are terrifying uh let's just look at today we'll look at Islam tomorrow 1.00

01:36:27.040 and Sharia law which is holy cow are we in trouble um let's look at just the war with Iran here 1.00

01:36:34.240 in the ongoing war between the United States and Iran who do you hope will ultimately win

01:36:41.360 And you were asking Americans.

01:36:44.700 That's right.

01:36:45.480 Likely voters, not just all Americans, not just registered voters, likely voters.

01:36:49.600 And what we found is that among all voters, 6% said Iran.

01:36:54.780 So not a huge percentage. 0.58

01:36:57.100 74% said the United States, which is the obvious right answer, you would think. 1.00

01:37:02.400 Correct. 0.95

01:37:02.980 10% said they don't care, which is pretty astounding.

01:37:06.300 And 11% said they're not sure.

01:37:07.960 They're still trying to figure out whether they want, you know, Iran to win the war or not.

01:37:12.320 I guess they haven't figured that out.

01:37:13.580 But the really scary thing is not those top line results because the average everyday

01:37:18.680 American is not insane, but many young people are and a huge chunk of the Democratic Party

01:37:25.560 is becoming that way.

01:37:26.540 A quarter of the Democrats surveyed said that they either want Iran to win or they don't

01:37:32.600 care who wins, but they're not rooting for America.

01:37:34.960 less than 50% of them said that they want the United States to win this war, less than 50%.

01:37:40.300 And younger people, it was similar, similar thing. So under 30, the most radical positions taken

01:37:46.760 throughout all of these polling questions are going to be with younger people and with Democrats.

01:37:50.920 And it's going to be, depending on the question, around a quarter or so of these groups saying

01:37:58.020 taking the most radical position that you could.

01:38:01.160 the second question i actually want to discuss this one because i will discuss it who do you

01:38:09.580 think is most to blame for the war between iran and the united states this one does not surprise

01:38:15.020 me go ahead yeah 39 said it's iran's government 41 which was this is the plurality this is the

01:38:23.800 number one answer said the u.s government 10 said israel's government which is actually interesting

01:38:29.220 because not a lot of people said that. And 9% said not sure. I did too. But when you add Israel's

01:38:36.520 government and the US government together, you have a majority of all voters saying, yes, we

01:38:41.740 think this is either Israel's fault or the United States' fault, primarily the United States.

01:38:46.480 And when you asked Democrats and young people, it was much, much higher. 77% of Democrats said

01:38:52.460 it's either Israel's fault or the US government. Most of them said the US government. Same thing

01:38:57.480 with younger people, the vast majority of them, it was over 60%, said it's either America's fault

01:39:02.660 or Israel's fault. So I look at this differently. I look at this as, you know, who's most to blame

01:39:09.140 for the war between Iran and the United States? Well, I mean, we were the ones who pulled the 0.75

01:39:14.440 trigger. You know what I mean? It's not like they pulled the trigger. We did a preemptive

01:39:18.560 strike on them. And it was because of Hezbollah and Hamas and also nuclear. So you could look 0.97

01:39:26.900 at that and say well it was their actions but we were the ones who pulled so i i can look at this

01:39:31.680 at 39 say it's iran 41 say it's the u.s government without attaching negative views to america would

01:39:41.420 you does the do the numbers bear that out when you're looking at it or when it's it's go ahead

01:39:47.920 yeah no if this was the only question we had then i would say yeah there's all sorts of ways you

01:39:53.580 could read this, maybe. Maybe they're just thinking, well, you know, America's the one

01:39:58.500 that launched these attacks to begin with. So I think that the important thing to keep in mind,

01:40:04.820 though, is it's in the context of people saying everything that we just talked about in the first

01:40:09.420 poll question, you know, where we're asking, who do you hope will win? And you got a quarter of

01:40:14.160 people saying, basically, I don't care, or I want Iran to win in the Democratic Party and among

01:40:19.900 younger people. So, and the next question that we'll get to shows that this position is more

01:40:25.560 radical than it might seem for this one question that we're talking about alone. But the reality

01:40:30.240 is Iran has been attacking America for a very long time. It's not as though America just woke 0.96

01:40:38.240 up one day and said, Donald Trump woke up and said, you know, we're going to attack Iran and

01:40:41.780 we have no reason to. That's not what happened, obviously. So people don't know the history of

01:40:47.100 this yeah i was gonna say people don't know the history they're not paying any attention

01:40:51.100 unfortunately for right for the republic's sake here is the really scary one would you support

01:40:59.140 a proposal that would end the war in iran and provide the united states with low oil and gas

01:41:06.460 prices in exchange for completely dismantling the nation of israel and replacing it with a new

01:41:14.680 palestinian-led nation yes yes and i did write that question just to be clear because because

01:41:23.760 i want to know just how radical these factions have become and the answer to this was absolutely

01:41:31.700 astounding among all voters 19 said yes they would support that proposal you dismantle israel

01:41:39.940 you install a Palestinian state and all the Americans get in return is low oil and gas prices

01:41:46.020 and ending the war in Iran. 19%. So one in five people said that of all voters, only 58% said no. 0.65

01:41:55.680 So there's a lot of not sure. There's 22% of people, voters, likely voters who say, well,

01:42:01.600 I'm thinking about it. Maybe I would support something like that. And then when you look at

01:42:06.380 What right do you have to dismantle a state for oil and gas?

01:42:17.280 I mean, that is every charge that every leftist has ever made about any war, that they'll do Americans.

01:42:24.240 The government is only doing it for cheap oil and gas, and they'll go and kill anybody. 0.98

01:42:29.780 You are saying you will dismantle and basically kill all the Jews for cheap oil and gas. 0.99

01:42:38.840 It is such a horrific concept. 0.99

01:42:42.820 I looked at that before I looked at the poll.

01:42:44.420 I read that, and I kind of laughed when I read it because I'm like, this is a crazy question.

01:42:50.140 And then I looked at the results.

01:42:52.300 Go ahead and just break it down by Democrats.

01:42:55.000 Right.

01:42:55.640 Right. So 24%. So one in four Democrats say that they would support this proposal. Again,

01:43:02.620 likely voters. These are voters who are saying this and support among young people. And this

01:43:07.820 is really the most terrifying part of all of it. I mean, bad enough. We have 19% overall among all

01:43:13.860 voters, a quarter of Democrats. That's all bad. But younger people in particular have bought this

01:43:19.460 idea, the idea that we should just get rid of Israel, just dismantle it, destroy it. 46% for 0.93

01:43:26.900 cheap gas, 46% of those aged 18 to 24 said they would support that 60% of those 25 to 29. And then

01:43:37.200 I believe it was in the forties or so for people who were in their thirties. And so the higher up

01:43:43.320 you go, the less likely you are to support this. When you get to age 40 and above, 40 and above,

01:43:50.760 support for this proposal is, I think, 3%. So basically nobody. So all the support for this

01:43:56.340 proposal is people under the age of 40. It's so important for people to understand this is how 1.00

01:44:02.540 radical a lot of our young people have become. They think this kind of policy is completely

01:44:08.600 acceptable at levels that are 40, 50, 60%. I don't think people understand how extreme

01:44:18.700 young people have become. And on the right and the left to some extent, but right now we're

01:44:23.480 talking about mostly people on the left who hold these positions. It is a huge problem. And as

01:44:28.920 these people grow up and become the primary voting base, these ideas are going to be front

01:44:34.820 center when they're electing politicians, when public policy is going into place, when we decide

01:44:40.720 whether we're going to support Israel in the future or not. So this is incredibly important

01:44:45.200 information. It's not getting anywhere near enough attention how radical young people have become on

01:44:50.400 this issue. I'm going to take a break and we're going to talk about, okay, okay, okay. So now

01:44:56.080 what do we do? Because these are, if these numbers don't terrify you, you're dead asleep

01:45:01.300 because this is your future, and these numbers are—I've never seen anything like this.

01:45:10.120 I've done this for 49 years, never seen anything like this.

01:45:15.160 We'll get to it in 60 seconds.

01:45:16.760 First, a brand-new baseball glove is beautiful, but the one that you love is the old one.

01:45:22.760 The leather's worn.

01:45:23.980 You know, it's been through 1,000 games of catch.

01:45:25.860 Every mark on it came from being used exactly the way it was meant to be used.

01:45:30.200 It's kind of the same thing with dogs.

01:45:31.600 All those years of running through the yard, jumping into the car, chasing things that they were never going to catch,

01:45:36.220 climbing stairs and following us from room to room, those miles add up.

01:45:40.480 And that's why the people behind Relief Factor created Friend Factor.

01:45:43.960 It's a daily supplement specifically designed for dogs to support mobility and healthy inflammatory response as your dog gets older.

01:45:55.740 How did I ever get this job?

01:45:58.680 You can't erase the miles, and you wouldn't want to.

01:46:01.740 They are the result of a life full of walks and adventures and playing

01:46:05.380 and being part of your family,

01:46:06.660 but you can give their bodies some extra support for the miles still ahead

01:46:10.360 because a little wear and tear is the sign of a, not a life gone wrong,

01:46:15.240 it's a sign of a life well spent.

01:46:30.040 10-second station ID.

01:46:44.900 46% of those aged 18 to 24

01:46:48.360 and 60% of those aged 25 to 29

01:46:52.440 say they would support the proposal

01:46:54.500 to end Israel,

01:46:56.000 to dismantle it in exchange for ending the war in Iran 0.55

01:47:00.500 and receiving low oil and gas prices 0.79

01:47:03.840 and replacing Israel with a Palestinian-led state.

01:47:10.780 Justin, what do we do about that?

01:47:14.500 How could we possibly make an impact?

01:47:16.460 That is from years of indoctrination.

01:47:20.260 Yes.

01:47:20.840 I think the biggest problem that the right has had over the years,

01:47:24.500 We've we've complained endlessly about how the left controls schools, how how biased the media is, you know, all institutions have moved leftward.

01:47:37.440 We've been complaining about it for a very long time, but I don't think we have appreciated until very recently just how radical these ideas are.

01:47:45.780 These are not Bill Maher Democrats who are running your Harvard University. These are far left wing Marxist types that have run it. And I think to understand how to beat this and tackle it and deal with younger people going forward for the next 20 years, we have to understand critical theory.

01:48:05.960 all of this flows out of critical theory critical theory is a branch of marxism it really comes out

01:48:13.800 of marxist thinking in germany the frankfurt school in the 19th century struck in the 1800s

01:48:18.760 it gets exported into america through universities like harvard and columbia and yale and places like

01:48:25.560 that and then eventually becomes deeply embedded within the left most people don't know what it is

01:48:32.160 but they believe these ideas and what critical theory is centered on is the idea that everything

01:48:38.600 can be viewed through this lens where there's oppressors and then there's the oppressed and the

01:48:43.440 oppressed people are the good guys and the oppressors are the bad guys and basically

01:48:49.100 anything in society anytime any group in society they break everybody down into different demographics

01:48:54.160 and groups does any of this sound familiar by the way they break everybody down in different

01:48:57.940 demographics and groups, the people who are perceived to have more power or more money are

01:49:02.540 there because they're oppressors. Everybody else is oppressed. And then you tell the story of any

01:49:10.200 given society or culture, history, through this lens of the oppressor and the oppressed. And the

01:49:16.880 reason the oppressors have what they have is because they've mistreated the oppressed people.

01:49:21.420 So critical race theory comes out of critical theory. This whole idea of systemic racism,

01:49:27.540 this idea that african americans can't it's not possible for them to be successful as a group

01:49:32.280 because white people are are systematic systematically holding them back this idea

01:49:37.280 that women have been held back for all of these all of these things the left seems to the right 0.95

01:49:43.440 like it doesn't make a lot of sense at times because they've got radical feminists and radical

01:49:48.180 islamicists and they're in the same camp and we say how is this possible that you can have these

01:49:53.080 two groups or LGBT people supporting, you know, the Hamas. How can that possibly be? It doesn't

01:49:59.200 make sense. It makes sense because they see the world as they're all part of the oppressed group. 0.99

01:50:04.520 And so what they want to do is dismantle everything that exists. That's part of the 0.98

01:50:10.260 oppressor category, everything that's traditional. And then what comes next is they don't agree on

01:50:16.180 that. Some people want Sharia law. Some people want radical feminist led societies. They don't

01:50:21.880 agree but but what they do agree now is that we have to dismantle everything that's traditional

01:50:26.660 because that's part of the oppressor category and so to understand the left yeah go ahead go ahead

01:50:33.700 no understand we have to to understand the left we have to understand this and we have to attack

01:50:39.240 it head on this is the key to beating them in the long term i know what our next book is i want to

01:50:45.840 talk to you because i i know what our next book needs to be justin haskins co-author of mine also

01:52:39.840 To tell you a story, there is a suburb north of Dallas called The Colony.

01:52:54.980 Nice homes, steep, steep front steps.

01:52:59.440 A few weeks ago, a woman named Erin Howell looked at her doorbell camera,

01:53:04.900 and she saw a delivery man on those stairs.

01:53:06.940 the airline had lost her suitcase now was found somebody had to carry it to her door

01:53:13.220 that somebody was 81 years old you can see it on the video one step stop breathe

01:53:21.580 grip the handle one more step stop breathe bag is heavy stairs are really steep the man is 81

01:53:30.440 But he doesn't quit.

01:53:34.380 Erin went outside and she asked the question all of us would ask.

01:53:38.760 Why are you doing this?

01:53:40.800 Why are you doing this?

01:53:44.260 His name is Don Johnson.

01:53:47.440 He's been married to his wife for 57 years.

01:53:51.200 Her name is Josephine.

01:53:56.360 Josephine has cancer. 1.00

01:53:58.800 Treatments cost what treatments cost. 1.00

01:54:01.440 Prescriptions cost more.

01:54:03.640 So for three years, Don has been driving around North Texas

01:54:07.380 delivering other people's lost luggage to help pay for his wife's care.

01:54:14.740 Aaron asked,

01:54:16.660 Why this job? Why something so hard? You're 81.

01:54:23.640 He said it was the only job that would hire him.

01:54:26.760 He didn't complain. He didn't have bitterness.

01:54:29.180 In fact, you know, the way the men of that generation are, I mean, it was just a statement of fact.

01:54:37.260 No, it was the only job that would hire me.

01:54:38.900 He was fine.

01:54:40.780 Bills are here.

01:54:41.580 Your work is there.

01:54:42.500 Go.

01:54:45.140 So he's carrying the suitcase.

01:54:50.420 But more baggage than that.

01:54:51.860 All day long, Don hands people back what they lost.

01:54:54.740 a wedding dress, a business suit

01:54:56.380 a kid's stuffed bear that missed the connecting flight

01:54:59.580 he gets to watch their face light up

01:55:03.780 as they answer the door

01:55:04.780 and then he drives home to the one thing

01:55:08.420 he cannot afford to lose

01:55:10.240 for 57 years

01:55:15.140 a lifetime of knowing which side of the bed she sleeps on

01:55:19.180 how she takes her coffee

01:55:20.920 what she's thinking about before she says it

01:55:24.740 This is a man who made a promise in his 20s.

01:55:32.460 He's still keeping it in his 80s.

01:55:36.640 One stare at a time.

01:55:42.820 Aaron posted the video and started a fundraiser.

01:55:47.260 And America does what America does.

01:55:49.520 When we're not busy being angry at each other and hating each other.

01:55:52.480 Thousands of strangers gave

01:55:55.300 Hundreds of thousands of dollars

01:55:57.580 About 700,000

01:55:58.980 Messages poured in from people

01:56:00.880 Who will never ever meet them

01:56:02.920 Over and over

01:56:03.780 The same words

01:56:04.780 We're praying for you

01:56:05.600 We're praying for you

01:56:06.460 We're praying for you

01:56:07.240 A local TV crew came out

01:56:09.780 Don told him

01:56:10.920 He thought he might actually be able to stop working

01:56:13.940 Stay at home 0.78

01:56:14.680 Take care of her full time

01:56:16.000 And then it fell apart

01:56:20.860 gofundme shut down the campaign company says something in how it was presented just didn't

01:56:30.660 meet its rules it hasn't said what family says it's a technicality but every dollar that people

01:56:40.240 gave, went back.

01:56:47.860 We don't know the whole story yet.

01:56:50.220 Maybe it gets set right.

01:56:53.160 Maybe some details look different when they come out.

01:56:58.320 But before any of that, the TV crew sat down with Josephine.

01:57:02.860 They asked how she was doing.

01:57:07.140 She didn't talk about money.

01:57:08.360 she talked about the strangers

01:57:11.060 who said they were praying for her

01:57:12.580 and then she said three words

01:57:14.880 I can face it

01:57:25.280 actually four

01:57:26.880 she said that was the big difference

01:57:31.080 she called it

01:57:33.080 a joyful feeling

01:57:34.240 That's not a woman who got a check

01:57:39.120 That's a woman who found out she wasn't alone

01:57:40.960 You know, a company can refund a donation

01:57:46.240 But nobody can refund a prayer

01:57:47.620 And it was already delivered

01:57:49.000 I'm so worried about her

01:57:56.180 I'm worried about, for three years

01:57:59.680 Don Johnson's been bringing people

01:58:01.900 Things that they thought were gone for good

01:58:04.200 And he's carrying those bags upstairs every day at 81

01:58:09.000 But for a whole week

01:58:10.980 A whole country of strangers turned around

01:58:13.380 And carried something up his stairs

01:58:15.020 Not money

01:58:16.360 But courage

01:58:17.860 And faith

01:58:19.020 Prayer

01:58:22.000 Belief in miracles

01:58:23.720 And they carried him up the stairs

01:58:28.560 For the woman he's been carrying all along

01:58:30.700 this is what I love about America

01:58:39.720 this is who we really are

01:58:42.080 even though the money went back

01:58:45.320 the courage didn't

01:58:47.760 you know

01:58:55.140 you know the song

01:58:57.680 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

01:58:58.820 here. You know how that came to be? Guy worked for Montgomery Ward. He lived in a really

01:59:16.480 small little house and had an even smaller little office. But he was the marketing guy

01:59:24.720 for Montgomery Ward.

01:59:29.600 And he had done all kinds of marketing for him,

01:59:31.700 all kinds of ads.

01:59:34.400 They were looking for their next big Christmas campaign.

01:59:44.300 And they came to him and they said,

01:59:45.740 hey, we have this idea of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

01:59:51.120 I'd like you to ride it.

01:59:52.560 And he started riding it.

01:59:54.720 And somewhere in between, his wife was diagnosed terminal.

02:00:04.160 And he stopped writing.

02:00:11.700 He would come home every day after work,

02:00:13.840 and he would play with his children.

02:00:18.280 Mom in the other room, fighting for her life.

02:00:21.880 mom in the hospital

02:00:24.060 fighting for her life

02:00:25.300 and he decided

02:00:26.720 best thing I could do for my kids

02:00:29.440 is to write this

02:00:30.460 and he would tell them the story

02:00:32.740 and write the poem

02:00:35.700 it wasn't a song yet

02:00:37.160 it was a poem

02:00:37.820 and Montgomery Ward

02:00:45.020 found out about this

02:00:47.420 after it was a huge success

02:00:51.000 Huge success.

02:00:56.120 Took the nation by storm.

02:01:04.140 Gene Autry wants to record it.

02:01:09.320 Montgomery Ward decides,

02:01:11.360 we're going to give the rights to you.

02:01:15.800 The writer.

02:01:16.880 They belong to Montgomery Ward.

02:01:18.580 He wrote it for them.

02:01:20.140 they wanted to help with the bills.

02:01:29.020 I'm wondering where that airline is.

02:01:38.180 Are they even aware they've got an 81-year-old guy

02:01:40.920 schlepping luggage up the stairs for people who's in this situation?

02:01:44.900 Boy, you want to do something that is far more powerful than fly the friendly skies. 0.87

02:01:55.600 Take care of her bills.

02:01:58.580 I know it's a lot.

02:02:01.240 And I know you guys live on the edge all the time.

02:02:04.420 But, you know, you could cut your advertising budget back on CNN.

02:02:08.840 Nobody's watching it anyway.

02:02:12.140 Maybe pay for her bills.

02:02:14.080 I know I'd fly that airline.

02:02:16.980 I would see that airline in something as somebody actually cares.

02:02:23.000 They're not just doing an advertising slogan they care about, not only me,

02:02:26.720 they care about their employees.

02:02:28.560 They care about the person who is in the lowest position of their company.

02:02:38.020 I don't know.

02:02:39.300 I would think there would be a lot of people like me that would love to tell that story.

02:02:44.080 But tonight, somewhere outside Dallas, there's an 81-year-old man who's going to set his keys on the kitchen counter.

02:03:01.040 after another day of other people's stares

02:03:09.720 and his wife of 57 years will say

02:03:13.480 how are you doing how are your knees

02:03:15.780 and he'll say oh they're fine honey

02:03:19.500 and she'll know he's lying

02:03:25.320 because after 57 years she always knows

02:03:28.940 but you let him

02:03:31.300 because that's how he says I love you

02:03:36.440 after 57 years he knows love isn't what you feel on good days

02:03:45.580 it's what you carry up the stairs on the hard ones

02:03:52.860 God bless Don and God bless you Josephine Johnson

02:03:56.560 and hopefully I'm going to be able to

02:04:03.620 tell the story of how these guys

02:04:07.580 their bills were taken care of

02:04:09.000 and hopefully it'll be an airline

02:04:11.020 that I know all of us will want to fly

02:04:12.960 until that time

02:04:15.580 we'll just keep them in our prayers

02:04:17.660 they fly higher than any airline anyway

02:04:21.900 more in a minute

02:04:27.540 I'll tell you about American financing.

02:04:29.400 There may be no number on your credit card statement

02:04:31.560 more psychologically comforting than minimum payment due.

02:04:35.720 They put it right there, the statement.

02:04:37.320 Minimum payment, how thoughtful.

02:04:39.340 Except that's not the number that should have your attention.

02:04:42.260 You look at the interest rate.

02:04:43.700 That's the number.

02:04:45.080 You're carrying credit card debt at 20% or more.

02:04:47.700 Making comfortable-looking payments every month

02:04:50.380 doesn't make the interest less expensive.

02:04:52.820 If you're a homeowner, American financing may be able to help you

02:04:55.640 use that equity in your home to consolidate that high interest debt into something far more

02:04:59.560 manageable. And the difference can be significant. Listeners of this show save an average of $800 a

02:05:05.380 month. And that's money that can go back into your monthly budget instead of disappearing into

02:05:09.000 high interest obligations. So don't just look at what they're asking you to pay this month. Look

02:05:13.640 at what they're actually charging you for the privilege of owning the money, them owning the

02:05:18.520 money. You have zero upfront interest and zero upfront fees. You may delay up to two mortgage

02:05:25.420 payments. Do it today without resetting your mortgage. If you have low interest, you don't

02:05:29.300 want to reset that mortgage. Talk to American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to

02:05:55.420 you know

02:06:18.620 i'm getting some email now from people who are saying you know glenn why stop would you stop

02:06:23.360 stop these stories. I thought that was a beautiful story. You know, my job is to inform you. My job

02:06:28.780 is to warn you. My job is to give you perspective. But my job also is to make you feel. And I don't

02:06:35.080 want you to feel fear and anger. It's too much of that. I want you to feel like you're surrounded

02:06:42.760 by good, because you are good people, truth, beauty, real love.

02:06:51.740 I hope you felt that story.

02:06:58.600 I have to tell you something also.

02:07:00.820 At the end of the show, because it's the way she wanted it, she didn't even want it at

02:07:04.540 the end of the show, but I'm doing it anyway.

02:07:06.520 After more than 20 years behind my control board,

02:07:12.420 Sarah Sullivan has made the decision to move off the board.

02:07:15.260 She's going to be assisting with the launch of Torch Audio starting today.

02:07:21.140 And she didn't want me to say anything.

02:07:23.200 She didn't even tell me Friday was her last day.

02:07:25.420 I knew it was coming.

02:07:26.300 I didn't know Friday was the last day.

02:07:28.660 I find out afterwards because she's like,

02:07:30.660 I don't want anybody to think, I don't want anything to say about me.

02:07:34.100 But Sarah, I am going to say this.

02:07:35.940 You have been mission critical to the success of this program for so long.

02:07:43.080 Having somebody that can read my scattered brain for so long and be the extension of me in the control booth has been a tremendous blessing.

02:07:58.780 And we have somebody who is great.

02:08:00.820 BJ is replacing you.

02:08:03.300 But it will take him years to be able to come close.

02:08:07.180 Anybody would take years to be able to replace you.

02:08:11.080 I am grateful for everything that you have done.

02:08:14.360 I am grateful for all of the advice, all of the laughs.

02:08:17.100 And I am grateful for our friendship in the studio over the years.

02:08:21.200 And I know that will continue for many long years to come.

02:08:24.780 But we're going to miss you here on the show.

02:08:27.300 We're going to miss you. 1.00

02:08:28.320 And BJ, you have gigantic shoes to fill because she had enormous feet. 0.94

02:08:34.020 I mean, I don't know if you ever saw her. 1.00

02:08:35.920 If she's enormous, it wasn't like she was really good at her job. 0.94

02:08:38.500 She just had enormous feet. 0.98

02:08:40.340 Anyway, let's see.

02:08:42.740 Is there anything else that we have to cover?

02:08:45.540 Tomorrow on the program, I'm going to tell you about,

02:08:49.080 and I don't even know if you know this, Jason,

02:08:50.780 but there is a new move for national ID,

02:08:57.720 Except it won't be national ID.

02:08:59.300 It will be global ID.

02:09:01.220 Wait until you hear how this is coming together.

02:09:04.840 Because we're all rejecting it now.

02:09:06.520 But I'm telling you, we are one emergency away.

02:09:10.120 Because it's all being laid into place right now, globally.

02:09:13.860 And I'm going to explain it to you.

02:09:16.040 And as soon as there is an emergency, oh, we will all have global ID.

02:09:22.720 That's coming up on tomorrow's program.
