00:02:19.760 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:02:37.120 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program uh we got a lot to cover there's movement on the

00:02:47.480 SAVE Act. We have, I have to, I'm sorry, I have to start with the new Mr. Mayor President of the

00:02:57.940 United States in New York. I don't know who Mamdani thinks he is, but I have to start with

00:03:03.100 what he said in a speech last night. Here's a taste of what he said. Benjamin Netanyahu is a

00:03:09.300 war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people. He is responsible 0.99

00:03:14.500 for the killing of more than 73,000 people.

00:03:18.060 For the maiming of tens of thousands of children

00:03:20.980 as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia.

00:03:25.360 For the targeting of neonatal hospitals

00:03:27.880 and maternity care centers,

00:03:29.600 denying newborns even the chance to live.

00:03:31.820 For the countless people he starved

00:03:33.360 as he blocked food and humanitarian aid from reaching them.

00:03:36.480 For the gunning down of hundreds of aid workers and journalists.

00:03:40.400 And just last month, 0.96

00:03:41.340 the UN confirmed that Palestinian children continue

00:03:44.240 to be deliberately targeted and killed by Israeli armed forces.

00:03:48.400 This is an absolute, an absolute outrage.

00:03:53.560 An absolute outrage.

00:03:56.160 And I've got a message to whoever this guy thinks he is. 0.59

00:04:01.440 Fix the frickin' potholes, Mr. Mayor.

00:04:04.520 I think that's what you're elected to do.

00:04:06.360 Not rule the world.

00:04:07.740 But it's an interesting speech because he made all of these grandiose remarks

00:04:14.000 and then admitted he can't do anything because it's not in his purview as mayor.

00:04:22.580 Hmm, me think somebody is setting up for 2028.

00:04:27.520 And it was an outrage to see him with the American flag behind him

00:04:31.260 sitting at George Washington's desk when on July 4th,

00:04:36.160 he sat in that same room and tore America apart.

00:04:39.880 We know who you are, Mr. Mayor.

00:04:41.380 but I'm going to give you a little history lesson, Mr. Mayor, in just a second. First,

00:04:48.240 let me talk a little bit about Patriot Mobile. As I always say, just do the next right thing.

00:04:51.680 That's all you have to do. It's not always easy, but it's always the right answer. Just

00:04:55.800 do the next right thing. Today, the next right thing may very well be switching your cell phone

00:05:01.700 company to Patriot Mobile because Patriot Mobile shares the values that you and I hold sacred.

00:05:07.120 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:05:11.200 They have donated millions of dollars to support the causes of faith and family and freedom,

00:05:15.580 all the while giving their customers dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.

00:05:20.160 Let me tell you why it is really important to support these people.

00:05:23.260 It is really important to support Patriot Mobile as a Christian company,

00:05:28.000 because I'm telling you, if we are the kind of Christians that understand God comes for the

00:05:37.500 individual and not the collective, God will unlock all of the doors that we need to understand what's

00:05:44.680 truly going on and who we're truly fighting, and it is in flesh and bone. So anytime you can do

00:05:51.000 business with a Christian company that holds your values, do it. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck,

00:06:02.420 972 Patriot. So last night the official channel of New York City, their mayor's office, posted a

00:06:14.680 video titled Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. The mayor sat beneath the seal of eight and a

00:06:22.080 half million people and brands the elected leader of an ally, a democratically elected

00:06:29.320 official, a criminal that is not welcome in New York City, and then concedes in the same breath

00:06:37.320 that he and his city have no power to arrest anyone. Now, he knew that before the camera even

00:06:43.880 rolled. When a man performs an act, he has already admitted he cannot carry out. He is not enforcing

00:06:52.060 the law. He is staging a spectacle, and the city seal is his set. This was pure performance.

00:07:05.040 Netanyahu is not the only foreign figure in his office that, or the only foreign figure that his

00:07:10.300 office is talking about. Just a couple of weeks ago, Mamdani's International Affairs Commissioner

00:07:15.040 and two senior aides scheduled a sit-down with the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of

00:07:22.040 Iran to the United Nations. That is an enemy regime we're currently at war with. 0.79

00:07:31.820 Why? Well, he said it was a mistake. Well, did you fire anybody? Because that's a pretty big

00:07:38.640 mistake. No one told the State Department. Washington had to find out on its own,

00:07:44.280 killed the meeting, and had to sit his officials down and explain why a city

00:07:50.760 may not do this with a hostile foreign power. 0.53

00:07:54.940 But nobody was fired because it wasn't a mistake.

00:07:58.940 It's the second time in weeks the feds have had to step in.

00:08:03.140 Mamdani has just shrugged this thing off as,

00:08:05.120 oh, it's just a request that came in.

00:08:06.720 Somebody accepted that request.

00:08:08.060 Somebody booked the room.

00:08:09.260 Uh-huh. 0.99

00:08:10.480 What business does the mayor's office have at the table of the Iranian regime? 1.00

00:08:15.980 Because I don't think the Iranians are really good at fixing potholes. 1.00

00:08:20.760 You know, they have advice on the subway line, a housing program. 1.00

00:08:25.980 There's nothing, nothing on God's green earth that requires a city to sit down

00:08:32.020 with the ambassador of an enemy that we're currently at war with.

00:08:40.400 We've seen this movie before.

00:08:42.560 You know, I think today's theme is just all about the movies.

00:08:45.880 Watch a movie from time to time, America, and you'll see where we're headed. 0.86

00:08:50.620 December 1933, months after the book burnings had already lit the sky in Germany, 1933, Hitler is in charge now.

00:09:01.580 Colombia's president, Niklas Butler, invites Hitler's ambassador, Hans Luther, into his campus to speak, and then threw him a reception.

00:09:12.620 Now, the president of Colombia explained, well, he's just representing the government of a friendly people.

00:09:18.260 He's entitled to be received with the greatest courtesy and respect.

00:09:24.400 Yeah, the president of Colombia eventually, eventually turned against the Nazis.

00:09:31.040 But it was too late.

00:09:32.320 Legitimacy had already changed hands.

00:09:35.020 Colombia at least had the thin cover of a lecture hall.

00:09:40.060 This mayor doesn't.

00:09:41.300 The mayor's office has no lecture hall.

00:09:43.240 This isn't a debate society hosting.

00:09:50.480 They're not a host to bring in people with diverse thoughts.

00:09:54.580 This is a government reaching out to another government.

00:09:58.560 And it's not academic.

00:10:00.040 It's political, and that makes it much worse.

00:10:04.320 I don't know why Mamdani keeps casting himself in a part that no one elected him to play.

00:10:09.240 But I think I know.

00:10:10.740 I think you know, too.

00:10:12.540 For the nation's 250th, he sat down behind George Washington's own desk

00:10:17.540 and lectured 340 million Americans that their birthday was no ordinary day of celebration.

00:10:25.940 He took the founder's chair to grade the founder's country,

00:10:30.420 and now he takes that same desk and a seal of the city

00:10:33.680 to pass sentence on an elected leader of another nation.

00:10:37.780 A mayor, hmm, auditioning for an office no one has given to him.

00:10:42.580 A man who is playing president.

00:10:46.020 A city playing nation state. 0.87

00:10:49.060 And it is as arrogant as it is small.

00:10:56.220 The pattern behind all of this is really old.

00:10:59.960 When a movement decides that the group, that the mob, that the collective is everything,

00:11:06.020 and the individual is nothing, 0.98

00:11:08.560 the Jew is always the first one to come for. 0.93

00:11:11.140 Always, always.

00:11:12.540 Because it's the Jew who gave us the God

00:11:15.860 that gives us our understanding

00:11:18.220 that it's a one-on-one relationship.

00:11:21.740 And they are the only ones, it seems,

00:11:24.220 that constantly refuse to dissolve into the collective. 0.87

00:11:29.120 National socialism proved it in Germany.

00:11:31.320 Communism proved it again in 1952 in Prague.

00:11:33.920 The Stalinist court tried 14 leaders of the Czechoslovakic Communist Party, 11 of them Jews, including the party's own general secretary, for being a Zionist and some sort of fictional Zionist conspiracy.

00:11:53.480 They hung 11 men before dawn.

00:11:55.800 Every one of them was a devoted communist who had surrendered his faith and his heritage to the collective. 0.67

00:12:01.840 and the collective hanged them because they were jews national socialism or communism pick your 0.91

00:12:09.680 flavor but they're all powerful states national socialism and communism anti-semitism always 0.88

00:12:19.440 shows up like a shadow and the jewish people have always been the canary in the coal mine 0.99

00:12:24.080 when will we say we've seen this movie enough when a society begins to turn on them it's telling you 0.99

00:12:30.920 exactly what it is about to become new york is about to become a very dark place and if we allow 0.85

00:12:39.200 this to happen i said this in 2008 if we allow this to happen we are going to make the germans

00:12:45.400 with our technology we're going to make the germans look like rookies warning america

00:12:52.280 when the standard bearer of america's new socialist movement stands beneath the city seal 0.96

00:12:59.480 of New York and aims his prosecutorial fury at the only Jewish state, while his own office

00:13:07.560 quietly courts the Ayatollah's envoy, the people who raised him up, owe themselves one honest look

00:13:14.460 at the company that they're keeping. This is not a fringe blogger. This is the mayor of the largest

00:13:19.680 city in America and a rising face of a socialist movement and a history that is not subtle about

00:13:27.140 where the road ends.

00:13:31.060 Yes, the suffering in Gaza is real.

00:13:34.040 Tens of thousands are dead,

00:13:35.960 many of them civilians and children.

00:13:38.500 And any mayor is free to grieve

00:13:40.960 and say that it has to end.

00:13:43.720 Had he mourned the dead,

00:13:45.840 decent New Yorkers of every faith

00:13:47.660 would have stood with him.

00:13:49.360 But he didn't mourn.

00:13:50.760 He prosecuted.

00:13:52.440 An ICC warrant is a charge,

00:13:54.600 not a conviction.

00:13:56.140 No court has found Benjamin Netanyahu guilty of anything.

00:13:59.860 By the way, the ICC, our government, just said we're getting out of it.

00:14:05.280 No one, no court has ruled that a genocide has occurred.

00:14:09.220 And it's offensive to say that this is a genocide.

00:14:14.140 He took an accusation, a crazy accusation, and pronounced it as a sentence and stamped New York's name on the verdict.

00:14:22.340 And the body count he read into the camera come from Hamas, which doesn't seem to sort toddler and terrorist.

00:14:35.340 And in the whole of that indictment, one date never appears.

00:14:38.800 Notice he never said two words, October 7th, not one.

00:14:42.320 1,200 people brutally slaughtered, not the 250 dragged into tunnels.

00:14:48.920 He didn't mention them, not a word, not a word about Hamas.

00:14:52.340 He assembled a bill of particulars and deleted the first crime in the file.

00:14:58.520 And it's a habit.

00:15:00.460 Even on the anniversary of the massacre, he gave its victims a single sentence

00:15:04.040 before pivoting to paragraphs against the country they attacked.

00:15:08.700 A prosecutor who buries the first crime and takes his evidence from the criminals

00:15:14.140 is not chasing justice.

00:15:16.240 He's selling you a story.

00:15:17.920 which leaves the one question this mayor is actually paid to answer this september benjamin

00:15:25.860 netanyahu is expected in the city for the united nations the man responsible for the safety of

00:15:31.480 those streets has just announced from behind the seal of new york city to every furious crowd in

00:15:38.240 new york that a visiting head of state is a war criminal and unwelcome here he has built a tinder

00:15:45.780 box in his own city and walked the block handing out matches.

00:15:52.260 Let me tell you something.

00:15:53.560 What happens in those streets in New York, it's not going to be pretty this fall.

00:15:57.960 And he doesn't get to act surprised because he wrote the invitation last night.

00:16:04.660 New York elected a mayor, a mayor I disagree with, but this is way beyond that.

00:16:11.780 You're supposed to keep a city safe, not to freelance a foreign policy.

00:16:16.540 The Constitution never handed you.

00:16:19.600 You don't open city halls' doors to the world's worst regimes

00:16:23.540 and never, ever, ever turn Jewish New Yorkers into collateral of your own ambition.

00:16:36.100 Have you not seen this movie?

00:16:38.020 Have you not seen this pattern before?

00:16:43.940 By the way, I know we've all seen the movie because we wrote a very important phrase down the last time this thing ran.

00:16:54.980 Never again.

00:16:58.140 How do you think that happens?

00:17:00.860 I don't know how that happens. 1.00

00:17:02.120 How do the Germans do it? 1.00

00:17:03.240 Exactly this way. 0.98

00:17:04.740 The only unforgivable thing here would be to pretend now that we don't know our own history.

00:17:16.260 God will not hold us blameless.

00:17:21.320 We know.

00:17:24.440 We've seen the videos of what happened on October 7th.

00:17:29.500 You know. 0.99

00:17:31.320 You know what Hamas is. 0.94

00:17:33.840 You know what Hezbollah is. 0.98

00:17:37.160 If you are standing with them today, God will not hold you blameless. 0.82

00:17:43.660 That doesn't mean you have to agree with Benjamin Netanyahu or even like him.

00:17:48.200 It doesn't mean you have to agree with the way he's fighting the war.

00:17:53.240 This is not about that.

00:17:56.300 This is about the oldest trope of all of humankind. 1.00

00:18:02.300 I cannot think of anything that has lasted longer than the unreasonable hatred of the Jewish people. 1.00

00:18:10.280 And I, for one, will never, ever, ever sit down. 1.00

00:18:16.700 I will never, ever, ever be silent.

00:18:20.100 I have spent years

00:18:27.220 teaching my children

00:18:29.880 that if the time ever comes 1.00

00:18:32.400 we will not be one of those Christians 0.90

00:18:35.300 that remain silent

00:18:36.440 we will not

00:18:38.700 I don't know what they choose in their life

00:18:42.340 but in my life I know what I choose

00:18:44.740 I will serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

00:18:49.780 I will support the people who gave us the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

00:18:55.340 Who gave us the God that recognizes the individual and not the collective

00:19:00.820 I don't have to support them in their war

00:19:05.660 I don't have to fund them

00:19:07.040 I don't have to buy them arms

00:19:08.580 I don't have to fight their wars

00:19:11.160 I have to do nothing

00:19:12.400 except never sit down and never fall silent.

00:19:24.060 More in a minute.

00:19:27.780 How many times a day do you catch yourself wishing you could just crawl into a hole somewhere

00:19:31.540 and just take a nap?

00:19:33.040 Just take a nap.

00:19:35.280 I'm guessing it's more than you'd like to admit.

00:19:37.300 That mid-afternoon wall hits, your eyes start getting heavy,

00:19:40.340 you read the same sentence three times before it finally sinks in and suddenly a power nap sounds

00:19:44.880 like the greatest luxury on earth. The problem is we're not in kindergarten anymore. We can't

00:19:49.320 bring out our rugs and our little box of milk and take a little bit of sleep. You never get the kind

00:19:54.440 of sleep that our bodies are supposed to have every night. That's why the people at Relief

00:20:34.300 Pray for Jewish New Yorkers

00:20:53.760 I can't imagine what they're feeling 1.00

00:20:57.360 Pray for the city not to burn down to the ground

00:21:02.780 And, you know, I got to tell you, I, you know, I was been thinking about some stuff and I was, I was saving it for another day.

00:21:09.860 I think I'm going to do it.

00:21:10.800 I think I'm going to do it today.

00:21:11.780 I'm going to tell you about how history repeats itself.

00:21:17.400 And we are, and this is a positive thing.

00:21:19.980 History is repeating itself.

00:21:22.640 But history is repeating itself in a positive, well, in a very negative way.

00:21:26.920 But we know how it ends from here, or at least how it has ended from here in the past, in America.

00:21:36.480 Nowhere else, but here in America.

00:21:39.200 And there is an off-ramp.

00:21:41.280 And I used to talk to you about, hey, one of these days we're going to get to an exit, because we've just kept passing them.

00:21:50.040 And this exit, right before it, it says, after this exit, 757 miles to the next exit with a gas station.

00:22:03.140 And I don't know if we're going to make it all that way.

00:22:06.380 So you might want to take out and get off of this exit.

00:22:11.400 At some point, you're on an exit, and the last one, and then the bridge is out.

00:22:15.400 there is an exit that is coming and I think it's coming this fall it's coming very soon I don't

00:22:23.480 know when but it's coming because it's already in so many ways it's already here and it's

00:22:28.840 percolating and with what he just did I think it might be this fall and I want to explain it to

00:22:35.280 you I'm going to move some things around see if I can put my thoughts together here quickly

00:22:39.880 and give it to you in the next couple of minutes

00:22:42.780 because there are two ways to look at the world.

00:22:46.960 There is a way to look at it and go, we're doomed.

00:22:49.540 Oh my gosh, this is so bad.

00:22:51.060 I can't listen anymore.

00:22:51.900 I'm paralyzed.

00:22:52.620 Or you can look at it and say, no, I know who God is

00:22:55.840 and God's not neutral, but I play a role in that.

00:23:00.820 And it's just me that has to make the decision.

00:23:03.280 It's not the government or anything else.

00:23:05.940 It's all of us as individuals making the decision

00:23:08.860 And we're about to approach and exit some point close in the near future.

00:23:14.500 And all of us need to say, time to get off this highway.

00:23:18.400 Next.

00:23:20.640 Most people have those moments they see a story on the news and they shake their head.

00:23:26.360 And they say it's terrible.

00:23:28.140 And they go on with their day.

00:23:29.720 That's human nature.

00:23:31.640 But every now and then an opportunity comes along to turn concern into action.

00:23:38.860 I want to talk to you about the IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

00:23:47.260 I do these commercials because I can't imagine, and I have thought about it a lot,

00:23:52.660 what it is like to be a Jew in America, of all places today.

00:23:58.360 What it is like to be a Jew any place else other than America.

00:24:02.900 How alone you must feel.

00:24:05.660 I told you a few minutes ago, I've already made my choice.

00:24:08.860 If you don't make your choice now of where you stand, you will get lost to the storm and you will be standing on the wrong side.

00:24:16.380 Make your choice today. Where do you stand? Will you make a difference?

00:24:21.140 Will you just stand up and say the Jewish people have a right to survive and show them kindness?

00:24:26.740 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews just in prayer.

00:24:30.820 Go to ifcprayifcj.org, prayifcj.org.

00:24:35.860 Glenn goes overtime after radio today at 12 p.m. Eastern, only at glennbeck.com.

00:24:40.740 It's a special segment you cannot miss.

00:25:04.880 so i want to i want to give you uh hope in destruction

00:25:15.740 as i am watching what is going on and mom donnie what he is doing let's play that clip that uh

00:25:25.120 that jason just played a minute ago can we play that he was playing a clip from mom donnie's speech

00:25:30.180 for the Torch Insiders.

00:25:33.880 And I want you to hear one part of this speech from last night.

00:25:37.320 Go ahead.

00:25:40.880 You have it?

00:25:42.580 Okay.

00:25:44.120 Apparently, can we play it, Sarah, or not?

00:25:48.880 Apparently not.

00:25:49.840 Okay.

00:25:51.600 Oh, you got it?

00:25:52.480 Okay, go ahead.

00:25:53.000 Go ahead.

00:25:55.860 Have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.

00:25:59.100 The federal government, however, does, and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant.

00:26:05.540 And I want to be equally clear.

00:26:07.440 Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war criminal at large.

00:26:12.740 While we cannot end the genocide on our own, we can decide whether our silence will become another weapon.

00:26:18.480 And we can examine every tool we have to defend the humanity and dignity of all people.

00:26:24.440 Stop. What has he just said?

00:26:26.260 He has said, I call on the federal government to arrest him because they have, and he called on the ICC, International Criminal Court.

00:26:35.680 Okay, the federal government just this week came out and said, we're out of the ICC.

00:26:41.600 It is nothing but a sham of a court and we're not going to play this game anymore.

00:26:46.340 So on the same week that Trump and our State Department says we have nothing to do with the ICC, it is a sham of an organization.

00:26:55.540 He then says, I'm calling on the federal government.

00:26:58.860 Most people that he's actually talking to

00:27:01.160 have no idea what the ICC is

00:27:03.500 or that our government has just said

00:27:05.880 that we're out of the ICC or why we said we're out, okay?

00:27:10.580 They have no idea, nor do they care.

00:27:13.060 He knows, he knows.

00:27:15.060 So he is setting up, see the big bad boogeyman,

00:27:18.180 orange man bad is letting this criminal,

00:27:21.660 this war criminal just walked the streets of new york then he goes on and he says but we are not

00:27:28.860 going to let our silence stop this we're not going to be silent so what is he saying he's pouring

00:27:35.780 gasoline all over the streets of new york and he's flicking matches and it will catch fire

00:27:43.080 in September and it will be his fault. And he's not doing it. I can guarantee you the people that

00:27:52.300 have supported him and put him into office already have had plans to have uprisings in the streets

00:27:59.080 this fall when Benjamin Netanyahu gets there. All right. So Glenn, where do you find hope in this?

00:28:05.380 you know i think my mantra is going to be on this show from here on out we've been here before

00:28:13.380 we've been here before because we have been now we've never seen all of these things at the same

00:28:20.260 time but it rhymes so closely we've been here before let me give you this example it's june

00:28:29.060 1969. It's the largest radical student organization in American history. It's about the same size as

00:28:36.040 the DSA is now, and they had their national convention in the Chicago Coliseum. Students

00:28:41.480 for a Democratic Society had somewhere near 100,000 members and chapters on hundreds of

00:28:46.960 campuses, exactly like the DSA. It had started seven years earlier at a UAW camp in Port Huron,

00:28:56.700 Michigan. They had a manifesto written mostly by a young man named Tom Hayden. It was a document

00:29:02.420 that opened not with rage, but with unease. Students raised in modest comfort, looking at

00:29:10.520 the world their parents built and finding it hollow. That is exactly the same pattern. I'll

00:29:15.660 give you the stats later on in the program. That's exactly what is happening today. It was arrogant,

00:29:20.760 but it was also persuasive because there were enough people that felt that way okay and it

00:29:27.680 began to win the people now fast forward seven years later in that coliseum sds argued about

00:29:34.460 which faction was more revolutionary and bernardine doran led about a third of the delegates out the

00:29:41.760 door chanting the names of the north vietnamese dictator what is that that was the violent side

00:29:50.180 and all they were doing is basically in today like our communists in the dsa are doing they

00:29:57.780 are chanting the names of dictators like mal within a year the largest student movement in

00:30:05.040 american history essentially no longer existed that faction that walked out called themselves

00:30:11.580 the weathermen and they announced that they would bring the war home does that sound familiar

00:30:18.160 bring the intifada here same thing now they expected thousands and a few hundred showed up

00:30:29.080 i think this is where it's going to be different i think there will be thousands on the streets of

00:30:34.540 new york but they ran through the gold coast breaking windows they got beaten they were

00:30:40.120 arrested uh and the man who saw it most clearly was not a conservative it was fred hampton he was

00:30:46.020 21 years old he was the chairman of the illinois black panthers the most genuinely radical man in

00:30:52.920 the city and he said these guys are opportunistic they're adventurous they're um in fact the word

00:30:59.340 he coined for them was i think um custeristic basically marching a handful of people into a

00:31:06.220 massacre and calling it strategy five months after that on on a march morning in 1970 a townhouse

00:31:14.080 on West 11th Street in Greenwich Village

00:31:16.480 blew apart and took the blocks quiet with it.

00:31:22.120 What was happening?

00:31:23.980 Well, the weathermen had been assembling a nail bomb

00:31:27.560 and three of them died in this.

00:31:30.060 Its target was a dance at Fort Dix,

00:31:33.380 enlisted soldiers and their dates.

00:31:36.000 That was the destination,

00:31:37.600 not a symbol, not a statue,

00:31:39.140 not a building at midnight, a dance floor.

00:31:42.600 Two months after that,

00:31:43.640 construction workers in lower Manhattan waded into a crowd of anti-war demonstrators with fists.

00:31:49.280 Three years after that, the union man who led those workers, Peter Brennan, was sworn in as

00:31:54.180 Richard Nixon's Secretary of Labor. Now here's the arithmetic that nobody planned. 1964, Lyndon

00:32:01.940 Johnson carried 44 states with 61% of the vote, one of the most complete liberal mandates ever

00:32:08.140 handed to an American president. Four years later, Nixon and George Wallace combined for 57%.

00:32:17.580 Eight years later, Nixon carried 49 states. When the National Guard shot students at Kent State,

00:32:24.120 the polling didn't break the way the campuses expected. Most Americans blamed the students.

00:32:29.260 you see the new left in 1962 had an argument by 1970 it had a bomb and a bomb is not stronger

00:32:39.380 than an argument it's a confession that the argument has stopped working the moment you

00:32:48.060 decide to make people comply rather than convince them you have quietly conceded that you cannot get

00:32:54.920 their consent and in a country where consent is the whole operating system that concession is fatal

00:33:02.200 they are now announcing themselves that they're communists and violence is growing

00:33:13.380 you don't need to defeat a movement that has stopped trying to persuade

00:33:18.120 you need only to stay standing while it persuades the country your side's right

00:33:27.200 that's the pattern to me that's worth watching and it repeats because it's structural it's not

00:33:34.580 accidental this is the problem they do this is the way it ended with um with Woodrow Wilson

00:33:39.660 there were bombings in the streets they started openly saying that they were communists and it

00:33:44.500 was over they move too fast too quickly and because it always gets to a certain point where

00:33:50.460 the radicals just can't hold back anymore they're like we're so close just take it that's what's

00:33:55.540 happening a movement that trades in argument grows because an argument can can scale and

00:34:05.400 anyone can be convinced a movement that trades in coercion contracts because coercion requires

00:34:13.100 purity. Purity requires purges, and every purge is smaller than the one before it.

00:34:22.680 What happened in Chicago in 1969 is what that looks like on the last day. A hundred thousand

00:34:31.040 people, and by nightfall, a room of a few hundred certain that everyone else is a traitor.

00:34:37.800 They are entering the traitor stage.

00:34:40.660 They've already said it. 0.99

00:34:41.960 They're already purging Democrats out because they're traitors. 0.69

00:34:47.080 The people who walked out of that Coliseum thought they were the vanguard.

00:34:51.760 They instead were the remnant.

00:34:55.860 So when you see a faction of the American left today convinced that the founding documents are obstacles rather than inheritance,

00:35:03.040 convinced that the people who disagree are not wrong, but illegitimate,

00:35:07.900 the honest response should not be panic.

00:35:12.260 It should be recognition.

00:35:15.060 Because this is what a movement looks like when it's run out of persuasion and knows it.

00:35:22.120 See, this is why everybody says, oh, the Constitution, it's so slow.

00:35:25.700 Everything is so slow.

00:35:26.600 Yes, this is why the Constitution is slow.

00:35:29.700 The Constitution is impatient.

00:35:32.460 You're impatient.

00:35:33.600 I'm sorry, the Constitution is everlasting patient

00:35:36.020 because it's a machine that is built to outlast people

00:35:42.240 who are impatient with it, okay?

00:35:45.920 It just says, slow down, slow down.

00:35:47.780 Eventually, they'll reveal themselves,

00:35:49.680 and then we'll all know.

00:35:51.320 Madison didn't design it for agreeable seasons.

00:35:54.480 He designed it for a season exactly like this one

00:35:57.860 where the people start to say things that we hope

00:36:01.680 and I still believe is true.

00:36:03.940 You know, I said this to a family member last night

00:36:06.260 who disagrees with me almost everything, okay?

00:36:09.420 We're on opposite ends of the spectrum on this.

00:36:12.520 And I said, look, it's about to be over

00:36:15.120 because Democrats are not communists

00:36:18.760 and they're not violent.

00:36:21.900 Americans are not communist and they are not violent. 1.00

00:36:26.980 Radicals are.

00:36:28.580 Americans are not. 1.00

00:36:30.780 And she agreed with me. 1.00

00:36:34.760 Now, I don't know if she fully understands what I was saying at that time.

00:36:40.040 But she will.

00:36:43.260 And it doesn't mean I'm right.

00:36:44.740 It doesn't mean my side is right.

00:36:46.760 It means that we're not radicals.

00:36:51.480 When it comes to the Constitution, we're not radicals.

00:36:56.000 We believe in that.

00:36:57.620 When somebody goes and says they're going to get rid of the presidency and the Senate,

00:37:04.980 the most logical thing for a Democrat to do is to say, 0.99

00:37:08.800 well, they're just fringe and they're crazy. 0.96

00:37:11.520 And I think that's what a lot of Democrats have done. 0.94

00:37:14.120 Now, some Democrats, when you have Bill Maher,

00:37:16.640 and who was the other guy that came out this weekend that was big,

00:37:19.260 that says, this is crazy, this has got to stop.

00:37:21.880 This has got to stop.

00:37:23.640 I'll vote for J.D. Vance.

00:37:26.000 if this doesn't stop. You know you have a problem. You see, the founder's bet was that in an open

00:37:33.960 contest, coercion eventually reveals itself and loses. That bet has been called several times,

00:37:42.040 and it has not yet been beaten. So here's my bet. From John Brown to the weather underground

00:37:50.500 to today. Americans are not communists. Americans are not violent. This movement

00:37:58.940 is about to hang itself. They're almost done with persuasion. They're showing every signs

00:38:07.860 that they are walking into the same noose that they built for others. They're walking into it

00:38:14.540 themselves. So have faith, have hope, just stay the course, know who you are, be peaceful. Now

00:38:22.400 is the time to be as peaceful and as loving and as empathetic as you can possibly be. Sincerely

00:38:30.440 be that way. Because there's going to be a lot of people that have been on the other side

00:38:36.400 that don't know what to do and they don't want to come your way. They don't have to come our way.

00:38:40.840 They don't have, you don't have to say Glenn Beck was right.

00:38:43.580 You don't have to say that.

00:38:44.740 I'm not asking you.

00:38:45.780 I don't need that.

00:38:47.380 The constitution and the Republic doesn't need that.

00:38:50.420 What the Republic needs is all of us to go, you know what?

00:38:54.020 I'm done with the communist thing.

00:38:55.620 I'm done with the radical thing.

00:38:57.400 I'm done with the violence thing.

00:38:59.120 I don't want any part of that.

00:39:01.020 I just, I want our constitution and our Senate and our house to be fixed, not destroyed.

00:39:07.780 I want our country to be fixed, not destroyed.

00:39:10.460 we have problems. We all agree on the problems. We can get there, and we're about to hit that

00:39:19.120 off-ramp. Pray that your neighbors take that off-ramp. All right, Rough Greens. Your dog

00:39:25.560 doesn't wake up one morning suddenly looking 10 years older. You know, it happens a little bit

00:39:29.740 at a time. You know, maybe he doesn't, you know, charge to the door quite as fast as he did when

00:39:34.300 you grabbed the leash. Maybe he takes a little longer to get up after a nap. Maybe he's still

00:39:38.740 happy, just not quite as full of the energy that he once had. That's why I like Dr. Black's 90-day

00:39:44.560 challenge. He's not asking you to judge rough greens after a day or two. He's giving your dog's

00:39:48.600 body a time to benefit from the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, digestive enzymes, and the

00:39:54.020 other essential ingredients that are often missed from processed kibble. That stuff is baked at such

00:40:00.680 a high temperature. It kills all the things your dog actually needs. Over those 90 days, a lot of

00:40:06.980 dog owners say, they start seeing real changes. I know I saw it faster than 90 days. More energy,

00:40:12.480 shinier coat, better digestion, just overall happier and a healthier dog, and you'll see it.

00:40:17.960 Just sprinkle it on your food that you're already feeding your dog, and then join the thousands of

00:40:22.320 happy dog owners who have already made Rough Greens a part of their dog's daily feeding ritual.

00:40:26.180 More years together, it starts today. Go to rough90.com, rough90.com. Rough Greens makes

00:40:36.300 any dog food better glenn beck most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways

00:40:53.640 we lock the doors we install the cameras but there's another way that your home can be targeted

00:40:58.120 and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property it is actually called home title

00:41:02.820 fraud. And it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents. They file them with

00:41:07.660 the county. They transfer ownership of your home into their name. And then once all that happens,

00:41:13.240 they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under

00:41:17.300 you. The scary part is you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular

00:41:22.000 homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this. And the mortgage company isn't

00:41:26.240 looking for it either. That's why you need home title lock. They monitor your home's title and

00:41:31.160 alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact,

00:41:37.140 which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can

00:41:42.840 get it out, you can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now

00:41:46.820 because I want you to be able to protect your equity. I want you to be able to find out if

00:41:50.260 you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it. The

00:43:47.600 and then something that still feels good hours or days later.

00:43:51.940 I don't know if you've ever bought something that made a great first impression

00:43:56.120 and then later you're like, nah, it's not made for real life.

00:43:59.520 It happens especially with boots.

00:44:01.640 They might look great sitting on the shelf,

00:44:03.400 but they spend the next week on your feet and they're miserable.

00:44:07.500 They're not going to stay your favorite pair if that's the case.

00:44:10.180 That's one of the reasons I like Tecovis.

00:44:11.880 They handcraft their boots in more than 200 meticulous steps using premium leathers

00:44:16.420 and time-honored construction techniques so they feel broken in right out of the box.

00:44:21.260 There's no stiff break-in period, just comfort from the first time you pull them on.

00:44:25.500 Their staff knows their stuff.

00:44:27.620 They'll help you find the perfect fit, and they even offer complimentary boot shines,

00:44:31.260 custom branding, and other touches that make the whole experience really feel very special.

00:45:06.720 pass it on

00:45:11.160 Craig the game.

00:45:13.660 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:15.720 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:18.060 Na, na, na, na.

00:45:20.600 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:45:22.880 Na, na, na, na.

00:45:27.060 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:45:34.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:38.600 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:41.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:45.980 I want to talk to you a little bit about the free market system.

00:45:49.200 You know, I've talked a lot about socialism and why socialism is catching on everywhere.

00:45:55.040 And it's because they have real grievances.

00:45:57.000 There are problems with capitalism.

00:46:01.140 But we haven't had a real free market here.

00:46:03.280 And I want to talk to you about what the free market actually is and make a case for the free market.

00:46:07.240 But I'm going to start with some results on what's really happening to families and to our kids who are now estranged from the family.

00:46:20.040 I'll give you some hope on that one as well.

00:46:22.940 We're going to begin in 60 seconds.

00:46:24.480 Let me tell you about Burn a Launcher.

00:46:25.580 Real-world, life-threatening situations get handled with lethal force.

00:46:29.960 But they don't always go smoothly.

00:46:31.300 You know, it's rarely like it is in the movie where you point a gun at somebody and you fire and they and they, you know, blown back through a plate glass window.

00:46:40.400 It's messy. It's terrifying. And it doesn't always end the way you think it will.

00:46:43.720 It's one of the reasons I love the Berna launcher so much.

00:46:46.620 It gives you an option that can help stop a threat without immediately resorting to lethal force.

00:46:51.340 It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles, tear gas, and can disorient and incapacitate an attacker from up to 60 feet away.

00:46:59.060 And that gives you the time to escape, get to safety, contact the police, and catch the bad guy.

00:47:05.260 Legal in all 50 states, no background checks to purchase.

00:47:08.860 More than 750,000 Berna launchers have already been sold.

00:47:13.560 Hundreds of law enforcement agencies have added Berna products to their toolkits

00:47:17.240 because they understand that not every dangerous situation demands the same response.

00:47:21.700 Listen, if the goal is self-defense, you know, that's good.

00:47:25.340 It's not to win the fight or kill somebody.

00:47:27.400 It's just to keep yourself and your family safe.

00:47:29.360 So visit Burna.com.

00:47:30.540 Find the right launcher for your family.

00:47:32.420 B-Y-R-N-A.com.

00:47:33.700 Burna.com.

00:47:36.920 So there is a new survey out of 7,000 estranged parents

00:47:41.000 that found that one in three believe their adult's child's therapist

00:47:45.240 recommended or influenced cutting family ties.

00:47:50.020 More than 25% of young adults in the U.S.

00:47:53.260 are or have been estranged from one or both parents

00:47:56.540 because our culture is obsessed with drama.

00:48:00.680 If something goes wrong in our lives,

00:48:03.360 our therapy culture looks at it

00:48:05.180 and looks for someone else to blame.

00:48:08.000 And your therapist will tell you

00:48:09.760 it was because your parents were actually narcissists

00:48:13.160 and that's why you can't quit vaping.

00:48:17.020 But here's what stuck out.

00:48:18.460 I'm reading this article and here's what stuck out to me.

00:48:20.460 Mental health experts expressing concerns

00:48:22.140 that young adults without ties to their familiar support

00:48:24.700 are more susceptible to falling into and staying in toxic relationships.

00:48:30.120 So children who cut themselves off from their parents

00:48:32.700 are more likely to end up in a toxic relationship.

00:48:35.980 This is the story of the DSA.

00:48:38.700 Hear me out.

00:48:39.880 Nate Silver found that the key demographic of the Democratic Socialists of America

00:48:44.440 is those who are highly educated and downwardly mobile.

00:48:50.180 They have doctorates, and they make less than their parents,

00:48:53.200 and that feels unfair to them.

00:48:55.940 So they look for someone to blame.

00:48:58.660 And just like blaming their parents,

00:49:00.620 they blame their ancestors.

00:49:02.140 They blame our history for their trauma.

00:49:04.460 So they go no contact with America

00:49:06.920 and they cut themselves off from who they really are.

00:49:10.580 And the result, they enter a toxic relationship with the DSA.

00:49:15.640 So now this is my theory, but I think this is good news

00:49:18.840 because they say in the article,

00:49:21.160 most people don't stay no contact forever.

00:49:24.080 It's not sustainable, and most people want a healthy life.

00:49:27.360 So we have to help the DSA members come back to the American family.

00:49:31.840 So let me try to do that with just some facts that they could try to argue,

00:49:36.740 but good luck with that.

00:49:38.940 And I want to build this case on the free market system carefully and accurately.

00:49:45.220 Let's go back to 1639.

00:49:47.840 shopkeeper named William Keene.

00:49:51.520 He was dragged into court for selling nails

00:49:53.980 at too high of a price.

00:49:55.580 He goes to court, okay?

00:49:57.500 The general court fined him 200 pounds.

00:50:00.380 That's a lot of money back then.

00:50:01.640 The deputies wanted the full amount.

00:50:03.640 Magistrates cut it in half

00:50:04.880 because they said it was too harsh.

00:50:06.660 Then his church admonishes him from the pulpit

00:50:09.380 on a public fast day for selling nails

00:50:12.740 that were excessive rates to the dishonor of God's name.

00:50:17.840 Well, Keene spent the rest of his life in shame and trying to clear his name.

00:50:26.740 Reverend John Cotton preached a sermon the next day listing the false principles of trade.

00:50:32.360 And the first one on the list was this, that a man might sell as dear as he can and buy as cheap as he can. 0.99

00:50:42.300 All right, these were Puritans, and they were asking the right question. 0.95

00:50:46.400 Is trade just? Is this trade just? Is my neighbor better off? They just reached for the wrong tool 0.99

00:50:54.740 to answer it because a court can't know the price of a nail. The price is not a moral statement.

00:51:01.940 It is a signal. It's information about scarcity moving at the speed of light between millions

00:51:07.400 of strangers who have never met. But the Puritans were on to something that the modern free market

00:51:14.400 crowd gets wrong in the other direction. They think the price is that answer. That is the

00:51:20.860 answer to a moral question, but it's not. The market is the greatest engine for lifting human

00:51:27.620 beings out of misery that has ever been discovered. And it's not, it's not even close.

00:51:33.200 Now it has no conscience of its own. It borrows yours. So watch what happens when you put both

00:51:42.000 halves together. In 1990, 2.3 billion people on this planet lived in extreme poverty. 2.3

00:51:49.960 billion people. By 2025, that number had fallen to 831 million. By the way, the world population

00:52:02.080 grew by more than two and a half billion. So that works out to about 115,000 human beings

00:52:10.560 leaving the worst poverty the earth has ever seen

00:52:14.780 every single day for 35 straight years.

00:52:20.780 But nobody's noticing it, nobody's celebrating it,

00:52:23.000 nobody organized it, nobody voted for it. 0.90

00:52:26.480 And before anybody says, well, that's all China.

00:52:29.020 No, no, it wasn't.

00:52:29.900 Outside of China, the extreme poverty rate

00:52:33.060 went from 33% in 1990 to 12% in 2025.

00:52:38.560 It's the whole world.

00:52:40.560 How? Food. I mean, I could go into a long story about how, you know, Norman Borlaug spent decades standing in the mud in Mexico, you know, trying to figure out how to breed shorter wheat, wheat that wouldn't fall over in the weight of its own grain.

00:52:58.440 Mexico went from importing wheat to exporting it.

00:53:01.160 India went from 12.3 million tons of wheat in 1965 to 20.1.

00:53:08.080 In 1970, five years later, Pakistan hit self-sufficiency in 1968.

00:53:18.400 This is the man who's credited with saving up to a billion lives.

00:53:22.160 And did you know his name?

00:53:24.560 I mean, how many of us have even heard his name?

00:53:27.320 Power.

00:53:28.440 Electricity. In the year 2000, two in ten people on Earth had no electricity.

00:53:35.280 Today, that's fewer than one in ten.

00:53:38.880 The number living in dark has been cut by more than half since 2000.

00:53:45.740 Why? Solar modules, you know, back then were more than $100 a watt in the 1970s.

00:53:53.440 They're now measured in cents.

00:53:55.820 Lithium-ion cell prices have fallen more than 99% since 1991.

00:54:02.440 All of these declines follow a curve, all of them.

00:54:05.920 Every time cumulative production doubles, the price drops about 20%.

00:54:11.920 Got it?

00:54:13.940 Scale matters.

00:54:16.120 With batteries, same number.

00:54:18.060 Doesn't matter.

00:54:18.900 Food, everything.

00:54:20.340 No agency mandated that curve.

00:54:22.980 It's just what happens when millions of people are free to try, fail, undercut each other, and quite honestly steal each other's ideas.

00:54:33.740 So why doesn't it feel like this for you?

00:54:36.280 Why doesn't it feel like it's great?

00:54:40.140 Because in the part of the American economy that you actually touch, it's not a free market.

00:54:47.320 It's not.

00:54:48.540 And I'm not going to be one that pretends otherwise to win an argument.

00:54:52.520 This is not the free market.

00:54:54.580 Since 2000, prices for televisions fell about 97%.

00:54:59.900 Toys, computer software, cell service, everything down.

00:55:05.400 Now, in the same time period, hospital services, college tuition, college textbooks, child care, medical care, went up faster than anything else in the economy.

00:55:18.480 And what does that tell you?

00:55:19.820 The things that got radically cheaper are the things that nobody in Washington was protecting.

00:55:27.400 The things that eat your paycheck are the ones where the government sits between you and the buyer and the seller.

00:55:34.380 Okay?

00:55:36.020 Subsidizing demand, restricting supply, or both.

00:55:40.820 Well, Glenn, what about housing?

00:55:42.660 Great.

00:55:43.440 Listen to this.

00:55:44.260 This stat will boggle your mind.

00:55:46.140 I sat with this stat yesterday, and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

00:55:49.820 How is it we don't know this?

00:55:51.380 Government regulation at all levels now accounts for $131,734 of the price of an average new single-family home.

00:56:04.640 That's 26.4% of the price is from government regulation.

00:56:11.100 And that number is up more than 40% in the last five years.

00:56:16.280 it's more than double than what it was in 2011 first-time buyers made up 21 of the market last

00:56:25.840 year that's the lowest share since anyone started counting in 1981 so what is the problem

00:56:30.900 government regulation you get rid of the government regulation just since just go back to 2011 2011

00:56:39.680 11. How much money are you saving? You go back, you go back just five years and you're saving

00:56:49.900 $131,000. Then there's the permission slip problem. In the 1950s, about 5% of American

00:56:58.580 workers needed a government license to do their job. 5%. Today, that's north of 20%. By some

00:57:04.240 counts closer to 25%. A barber in Iowa needs 2,100 hours of training. 2,100 hours of training

00:57:15.580 to be a barber. In New Hampshire, it's 800. Now, is that because hair behaves differently in Iowa?

00:57:24.580 This gap is not safety. That's the guy who already has a shop making sure that you don't

00:57:31.300 open one across the street. That's the machinery that drives prices up. That's the machinery that

00:57:39.180 keeps it all in place. And that machinery has just had the best year it's ever had. Federal

00:57:45.680 lobbying spending broke $5 billion for the first time in 2025. That's the largest single jump

00:57:53.580 since quarterly disclosure began in 2008.

00:57:57.160 We now have 15,000 organizations reporting.

00:58:01.740 So when some 27-year-old tells me the game is rigged,

00:58:05.280 you know what my answer is?

00:58:07.540 Yeah.

00:58:08.320 Do you have the stats on it?

00:58:09.300 Because I do.

00:58:11.020 The problem is you have the wrong defendant.

00:58:18.840 Let me tell you something about the Boston Tea Party

00:58:20.720 you probably didn't know.

00:58:21.500 it was not a protest against high prices okay parliament had just made tea cheaper

00:58:30.260 now there are other things going on but let me just talk to you about the price of tea

00:58:34.140 india east india company was was going under in 1773 bad debt corruption in its leadership

00:58:41.160 and about 17 million pounds of tea rotting in london warehouses so parliament floated it alone

00:58:48.100 They waived its duties, and they handed it a monopoly on selling tea in America.

00:58:54.080 And Lord North assumed the colonists are not going to riot over a bargain.

00:58:57.120 They're going to get a great price.

00:58:59.240 Now, for different reasons, December 16th, the men climbed onto three ships and threw 342 chests in the harbor.

00:59:06.780 And the company billed Boston 9,000 pounds for it.

00:59:10.640 but here's here's here's what you can get from this that a lot of people with

00:59:16.540 you know an economic degree degree still doesn't they don't get a low price from a politically

00:59:22.880 protected monopoly is not a bargain it's a bribe the founding economic act of this country

00:59:30.880 was americans refusing a corporate bailout refusing cheap goods that came with it because

00:59:37.640 it was a corporate bailout. Now, that's not anti-capitalist. That's the most pro-market

00:59:42.280 thing anybody has ever done on this continent, quite frankly. So here's what we should be

00:59:49.440 suggesting to people who say, it's broken. You're right. You're right. But let me give you some

00:59:57.100 answers here. None of them are socialist. First, end the rescues. You hate the bailouts. I hate

01:00:04.080 the bailouts. No rescue. If a firm is too big to fail, then it's too big to be private. Let the

01:00:10.060 company die. Bankruptcy is not a market failure. It's the market working. Then delete every license.

01:00:20.840 Any license that protects an incumbent instead of a customer and recognize the license across

01:00:27.100 state lines. If your hands are steady enough to cut hair in Nevada, they're steady enough to cut

01:00:31.980 hair in iowa legalized building is the next thing you can't subsidize your way out of a shortage

01:00:40.100 every dollar of demand side helps get uh of demand demand side help gets absorbed by the price when

01:00:49.900 the supply is frozen by law next thing you want to fix colleges stop lending 18 year olds unlimited

01:00:57.800 money for a product whose price rises to match the loan. That's not giving them access. That's

01:01:06.740 a transfer from students to the institution. It's wrong. It's immoral. Next, prosecute fraud

01:01:16.240 like you actually mean it. Enforce contracts and jail liars. That's not a restraint on the free

01:01:23.540 market. It's the immune system. And if you don't have that, no market stays free.

01:01:31.900 I've got a couple of other things. Let me finish this here in just a second.

01:01:35.660 But the answer is not socialism. It's the free market.

01:01:40.220 NMLS 1-823-34. NMLSConsumerAccess.org. APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799%

01:01:45.900 for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:01:51.340 Okay, for most Americans, your home is your biggest financial asset and just sits there building equity while you're paying interest rates that are, quite honestly, damn near criminal.

01:02:00.600 You're paying, what, 25% interest on your credit card?

01:02:03.080 That's got to stop.

01:02:04.440 But you don't want to go in and tap into your mortgage rate that you have, you know, what, 3% mortgage rate?

01:02:11.800 You don't want to tap into that.

01:02:13.760 This is why I want to tell you about American financing.

01:02:16.280 They have their smart equity loan.

01:02:17.880 And unlike a HELOC, which comes with a variable rate that changes over time, the smart equity loan offers the stability of a fixed rate.

01:02:26.540 That means you know what to expect every single month.

01:02:29.840 It makes planning a whole lot easier.

01:02:31.300 And best of all, you don't have to touch the low interest rate you already may have on your primary mortgage.

01:02:36.800 It stays the same.

01:02:38.480 So access the equity that you have in your home without giving up the mortgage that you'd never be able to replace in today's rate environment.

01:02:45.380 All you have to do is call this number.

01:02:47.200 I want you to call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:02:55.980 10-second station ID.

01:03:09.160 Okay.

01:03:10.800 End the rescues, the bailouts.

01:03:13.220 Delete the license that protects the incumbent.

01:03:17.200 Legalize building again.

01:03:19.900 Stop lending people money for colleges that just keep raising the rate.

01:03:26.280 No, it won't work that way.

01:03:28.400 Get the government out of it.

01:03:30.200 Prosecute fraud.

01:03:32.480 Then, here's the half that no regulation can actually reach.

01:03:37.400 There is no regulation that arrives at the moment a man decides what to charge his neighbor.

01:03:44.240 No agency in the room when you write the invoice.

01:03:48.140 Describe the product or answer honestly about what it cannot do.

01:03:53.780 Robert Keene's court could fine him, but it could never make it fair.

01:03:58.620 The Puritans learned after four years what we keep forgetting.

01:04:02.420 You can chain a merchant or you can raise a merchant.

01:04:07.440 A free market run by liars produces exactly what you expect. 0.88

01:04:12.300 which is what we're all angry about it's a rigged market run you know uh run by liars and you know

01:04:20.800 a rigged market run by saints just produces slower theft but it's still theft you have to have both

01:04:26.680 you've been handed neither and then told that the wreckage proves that capitalism has failed

01:04:33.000 no it hasn't most of what you want to fix you're not going to fix in washington this year but there

01:04:39.860 are three things sitting in front of a 25-year-old right now. One, build something that somebody

01:04:45.300 actually wants that will make people's lives easier. Price it honestly and tell the truth

01:04:51.140 about what it does. Do whatever scale you have, okay? That's how 115,000 people a day walked out

01:05:00.260 of extreme poverty, not by decree, but by an enormous number of ordinary people making and

01:05:05.320 selling honest things. That engine works. And it's the difference between famine and surplus,

01:05:11.440 darkness and light for a hundred million people you've never met before. And remember,

01:05:19.740 no government can give this system a conscience. This system doesn't come with a conscience.

01:05:26.140 It borrows yours.

01:05:29.240 So you first have to be secure in your own ethics.

01:05:36.000 We have to be a moral and ethical society. 0.99

01:05:40.200 Otherwise, we're just going to keep producing this garbage. 0.99

01:05:43.600 The answer is not socialism. 0.98

01:05:45.720 This system pulls people out of poverty like nobody else.

01:05:49.820 But the system has gotten into bed with the federal government.

01:05:53.460 So the answer is not to make the federal government bigger.

01:05:58.240 It's to make it an actual referee that punishes people when they do something wrong.

01:06:04.760 You don't make the, you punish the banks.

01:06:07.120 I'm sorry, we're not going to bail you out.

01:06:08.420 You made bad bets.

01:06:09.640 We're not going to bail you out.

01:06:11.200 By bailing them out, you've only made them bigger.

01:06:14.520 And now you're in bed with them.

01:06:17.640 Not you, the federal government.

01:06:19.840 That's the problem.

01:07:37.420 but no one is explaining how we got here.

01:07:39.340 At 12 p.m. Eastern, Glenn traces it all back

01:07:41.860 in a special segment only at glennbeck.com.

01:07:44.660 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:02.080 I want to read a comment I got in from Pamela, 1791 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

01:08:06.360 She said, Glenn, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

01:08:08.760 on your show yesterday you were asking what um what we could do to combat the evil and corruption

01:08:16.140 that we're witnessing right now in our country um and some of us are feeling hopeless your first

01:08:22.020 suggestion was to learn history i want you to know you're 100 correct i've been listening to you

01:08:28.040 since you were in florida on the radio in tampa um wow that was 2000 um you entertained us immensely

01:08:35.960 When you moved to Fox, I would record the show and watch it when I got home.

01:08:40.080 We signed up immediately to GBTV, The Blaze, and Torch.

01:08:44.060 We have almost all of your books.

01:08:46.120 As a lover of history myself, your knowledge of it has not only been incredibly enlightening,

01:08:51.200 it has been overwhelmingly inspirational to me with your most influential phrase of do your own homework.

01:08:59.760 We never planned on having kids, but after restoring honor and my husband doing your 40-day challenge in 2010, our hearts began to change.

01:09:10.080 After 19 years of marriage, God surprised us with the best gift we never knew we wanted, a daughter.

01:09:16.500 When she was two, I realized that I really didn't know history, and it was my responsibility to learn it and teach it to her.

01:09:23.400 So, I not only started doing my own research and homework, I wrote it down to both remember it and to share it with others.

01:09:30.780 I started my own website, and I posted weekly for almost seven years until 2020.

01:09:36.240 In 2022, I started doing videos, which I write, present, edit, and also link to my website.

01:09:42.360 with all of this i have gone on from feeling extremely unknowledgeable about our history

01:09:47.540 and helpless to being amazed that i've already researched and wrote about many of the stories

01:09:52.540 you present today can we find her would just ricky would you send me her website i want to

01:09:56.960 look at some of these videos um with that i have not only the information but the confidence to

01:10:03.440 talk about those stories and history to others now many in my family will actually seek me out

01:10:10.000 when they want information on something

01:10:11.780 because they know I will likely be able

01:10:13.800 to tell them about it.

01:10:15.360 I'm not changing the world,

01:10:17.300 but I am having a positive effect

01:10:19.240 on my own little piece of it.

01:10:21.540 Thank you for the daily giving us

01:10:23.820 the urging and encouragement

01:10:25.320 to be the light in the darkness.

01:10:27.120 We don't have to float aimlessly

01:10:28.740 in the water with others,

01:10:30.020 just the opposite.

01:10:31.400 You're empowering us 0.75

01:10:32.380 to be the rudders of the ship

01:10:33.920 while remembering the righteous

01:10:35.320 suddenly didn't just become righteous.

01:10:37.880 they refused to go over the cliff with everybody else.

01:10:43.640 Pamela, thank you for such an inspirational message to me.

01:10:48.460 Tomorrow or the next day, I have to see what we have planned for tomorrow,

01:10:52.720 but I have something.

01:10:54.520 I'm going to ask you to do something.

01:10:57.040 I'm going to tell you a thing.

01:10:58.500 I found a story in history about a guy who absolutely changed England.

01:11:04.940 He changed England.

01:11:06.040 It was an illiterate country. There were no schools, nothing. And he had a little bit of

01:11:12.900 money, and he paid one person a shilling a week to teach these kids. And from there,

01:11:20.500 England became literate up until they started public schools in the 1800s. And it was just

01:11:27.540 one guy saying, hey, can you do this? I'll pay you a shilling a week. And then somebody else

01:11:34.600 started it and then somebody else started it. And I think we're at that point. I think this can

01:11:39.140 happen again. Um, and so I just, I want to, people are asking me all the time, what do I do? What do

01:11:44.060 I do? What do I do? Give me a couple of days. But the first thing you have to do is what Pamela did

01:11:48.340 learn history, really learn it. You know, I, I started torch because, and we are, we are still

01:11:56.860 working on so many tools um that are coming um but i i i've been in conversations when i was younger

01:12:07.520 and people would say well what about that and i would think to myself i wish rush limbaugh was

01:12:12.080 here because i know he'd have the answer i want to give you the tools so you never say that i

01:12:17.400 wish glenn beck was here i wish you know you know um somebody else was here ben shapiro was here and

01:12:24.620 and he, cause he has the, no, no, no.

01:12:27.780 Let's help teach you this and the way to reason

01:12:30.560 and the way to think and the way to search truth.

01:12:33.700 You know, if you're not, if you are questioning a story,

01:12:38.120 take it and run it through Grok, Chachi PT, and Claude.

01:12:44.400 Now they all have their own bias.

01:12:46.180 The least bias is Grok, okay?

01:12:49.960 However, I want to check it.

01:12:51.680 I want to see if it has,

01:12:52.660 I want to see if there's something that the liberals say that proves Grok wrong.

01:12:57.320 I want to know.

01:12:58.620 You take any news story and you run it through all three of those and say, check this for facts.

01:13:05.440 You'll have an idea.

01:13:07.080 It may not be the final answer, but you'll at least have an idea.

01:13:10.500 This is where there's spin.

01:13:12.960 That's something you can do every day when somebody asks you, is this true?

01:13:15.860 Before you post anything, run it through.

01:13:19.080 but not just one search engine, run it through all three and ask, what are the facts of this case

01:13:27.440 that everyone, both left and right, can agree on? What actually happened here? Sort the facts from

01:13:35.760 the writing and the fiction or the agenda. I want to know what actually happened and run it through

01:13:41.580 all three. Stop depending on somebody else. That you can do every day, every day.

01:13:50.840 And stop having to feel like you are responsible for the whole world because you're not.

01:13:58.280 The problem here is that we are overwhelmed with information. People never had this amount

01:14:04.060 of information ever. The average person, you are overwhelmed at 30 friends, okay? 30 friends is

01:14:13.520 about all that people can really handle. Anything lower than that, honestly, 10 is better. 20 is

01:14:21.600 better. Whatever your family is, that's what you were built to handle. You're not built to be in

01:14:27.220 the lives of thousands of people. You can't handle it. You're not built to know everything

01:14:34.440 about everything that's going on in the world. You have to have some discernment and go,

01:14:40.000 this is what's important today. This is what I have to know. And honestly, you just need to do

01:14:47.500 what I, I don't mean this to sound arrogant because I'm getting paid to do it. And it's

01:14:51.620 taken me a long time to learn how to do it. But you have to do what I do every day. And that is

01:14:56.640 look at all of the news and go, what matters? What actually affects my life today? And there's

01:15:04.660 one issue that I'm going to talk about today. I'm doing a special hour directly after this show at

01:15:10.440 noon Eastern time today. And I'm doing it because I want it commercial free. I want it just one-on-one

01:15:16.280 with you, me, and the chalkboard. And I want to connect the dots in Iran. And I want to tell you

01:15:21.360 the history. And I'm going to start with Jefferson and Adams, okay? Because what's happening right

01:15:28.160 now is the same argument that Jefferson and Adams had. Like 1783, I can't remember. I'll

01:15:37.060 track it down before I get to the chalkboard. I have to write it down. But

01:15:40.320 they were dealing with the Barbary pirates. And I've told you this story before, so I'm not going

01:15:46.760 bore you with it, but they were dealing with the Barbary pirates. And they met with the

01:15:52.480 ambassador over in England. And they're like, okay, why do you think you can just

01:15:57.320 take our ships and kill our soldiers or sell them or our women into slavery? Why are you doing that? 0.90

01:16:05.800 And they explained. And he said, well, because our Quran tells us we can.

01:16:11.300 So they left this, both Jefferson and John Adams left hearing the same information with two diametrically opposed opinions.

01:16:23.240 One said, pay the ransom.

01:16:25.240 That was John Adams.

01:16:26.220 Pay the ransom.

01:16:26.940 It's not worth it.

01:16:27.560 Just pay it.

01:16:28.580 Well, we did.

01:16:29.340 And by the time George Washington was in, most of our budget was being eaten by ransom.

01:16:34.660 Okay?

01:16:34.960 It was unsustainable.

01:16:36.680 But John Adams said, it's not worth war.

01:16:39.760 pay the ransom. Thomas Jefferson said, you can't live with people, you can't pay people and

01:16:47.500 negotiate with people who say they are superior and have a right to kill you at any time or take

01:16:54.840 you as a slave. At some point, they'll become strong enough and they'll take you as a slave.

01:17:01.400 So no, we got to fight. It's the same argument we're having today.

01:17:07.720 and we're accusing the other side

01:17:10.820 of being un-American somehow or another.

01:17:14.780 I don't know.

01:17:15.600 John Adams, he's a patriot.

01:17:18.100 Thomas Jefferson, he's a patriot.

01:17:21.080 So whether you're for the war,

01:17:23.460 you're Thomas Jefferson.

01:17:25.040 Or against the war, you're John Adams.

01:17:30.000 Why are we calling each other traitors?

01:17:34.000 That's the first thing I want to teach you,

01:17:35.720 and I just did, so I might skip that in the show.

01:17:38.900 That's the first thing you need to know.

01:17:41.280 Stop calling each other traitors.

01:17:43.820 We disagree, and this is a very hard subject.

01:17:48.420 But what I really want to take you through is the timeline.

01:17:52.680 I'm going to start a little earlier than this,

01:17:54.340 but really what's important is beginning in 1978.

01:17:57.740 What happened when they took over in 1978?

01:18:01.520 Who was involved? How did it happen?

01:18:03.680 And then I'm going to take you through every single president since.

01:18:07.780 And I'm going to show you how every president, what they decided they would do.

01:18:12.800 And there are two schools of thought.

01:18:15.480 One is harsh sanctions, isolate them, and it doesn't work.

01:18:21.160 The other is pay them off.

01:18:23.320 That doesn't work.

01:18:25.560 But let me show it to you.

01:18:27.420 And then I will explain in this special show at noon Eastern today, only for Torch insiders, please, please join us.

01:18:37.640 The Torch has so much to share and so much history, and we work so hard on it.

01:18:43.660 And I'm more proud of this than anything I've ever done.

01:18:48.560 And it's because I have the best staff ever.

01:18:54.340 I have the best producers.

01:18:55.860 I have the best writers.

01:18:57.140 I have the best people ever in this business.

01:19:01.840 And we have put together a slate of things that will, if you let it, it will change your life.

01:19:09.540 And by the way, we have CarPlay now.

01:19:13.280 So you get the app, you can listen to it whenever you're driving.

01:19:16.300 You're not going to miss any of the show.

01:19:17.620 And you're going to be able to find hours of stuff to educate yourself on and be entertained as well and empowered.

01:19:22.960 But anyway, what I said yesterday was this is the most dangerous war of my lifetime, and I include the Cold War. 0.77

01:19:34.860 I believe this is more dangerous than the Cold War was because what we didn't know at the time was that the Russians wanted to live.

01:19:48.080 The Russians did not want to vaporize us, and they didn't want to be vaporized. 0.62

01:19:54.700 And we didn't want to vaporize them, and we didn't want to be vaporized. 0.93

01:20:00.520 MAD, mutually assured destruction worked, okay?

01:20:04.660 It was still hair-raising to live through.

01:20:08.400 It was still terrifying.

01:20:09.640 There were days in my 20s where I worked in Washington, D.C., and KAL 007 was an airliner, Korean airliner, and it was shot down by the Soviets, and they claimed that it was full of CIA spies or whatever.

01:20:27.000 and I remember thinking

01:20:29.140 we might go to war 1.00

01:20:31.200 we could launch

01:20:32.140 and I remember feeling

01:20:33.740 at 20, 21 years old

01:20:35.200 I think it was 20

01:20:35.860 there in the nation's capital

01:20:38.060 thinking this is ground zero

01:20:39.520 I won't even know

01:20:41.400 I won't even know

01:20:42.800 I will just see the streaks in the sky

01:20:44.660 if I happen to be outside

01:20:45.880 or I'll hear the EBS test

01:20:48.320 and I'll have 11 minutes

01:20:49.420 and there's nowhere I'm going

01:20:50.540 it's over

01:20:51.340 we're all dead

01:20:52.160 it was terrifying

01:20:54.140 terrifying

01:20:55.060 this war is more dangerous

01:21:00.120 and you will understand why today

01:21:04.660 and I'm not going to convince you that

01:21:06.540 I'm not going to try to convince you that we have to fight this war

01:21:10.560 I'm not going to try to convince you we cannot be in this war

01:21:13.820 I'm just going to teach you the facts

01:21:16.440 and then you have to decide

01:21:18.460 because I think the argument between Jefferson and Adams

01:21:24.480 as long as it's an honest argument, is a good argument. It's what makes a free people free.

01:21:32.420 It's what makes our republic stronger, is disagreement and discussion and argument back

01:21:38.940 and forth, as long as we walk away and we respect each other. And the only way we can do that is if

01:21:45.960 we're both coming from an honest place, asking honest questions. And what that means, when you

01:21:53.000 ask an honest question, you want an honest answer back. What does that mean? An honest

01:22:00.800 question means if you give me an answer that makes me go, huh, well, wait a minute, I never

01:22:08.520 thought of that. An honest question means if you give me one of those answers, I will actually

01:22:16.320 consider changing my position because maybe I'm wrong. And that's the problem we have in today's

01:22:23.620 society. We're just trying to win, both sides trying to win, so it doesn't matter what the

01:22:29.440 other side is saying. While they're saying it, you're thinking of your response to win.

01:22:38.200 Today, I'm going to ask you, be Jefferson, be Adams. And let's talk about the scariest thing

01:22:43.680 and the scariest war

01:22:46.260 and the most significant war of my lifetime.

01:22:49.440 That's today, right at noon.

01:23:18.380 He took Relief Factor for nearly a year before he finally convinced his wife to give it a try.

01:23:22.980 She is a special needs teacher, and her pain had gotten so bad that she needed assistance just to make it down the long hallway at her school. 0.64

01:23:30.520 Today, she's back on her feet every single day.

01:23:33.140 She never had to walk away from the job she loves, and that's the kind of story that gets my attention.

01:23:37.540 It should get yours, and it's not the only one.

01:23:39.260 Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to order more because their stories are just like Doug's story.

01:23:46.300 They're my story.

01:23:48.820 If you're living with pain, maybe I'll soon be telling your story on this program.

01:24:22.720 One of the strangest things about summer is that we all accept terrible sleep as if it's just sort

01:24:27.360 of part of the season. You're hot, you're uncomfortable, you're flipping the pillow

01:24:30.860 over every 20 minutes looking for the cool side. At some point during the night, you probably

01:24:35.520 kick the covers halfway across the room and you know a lot of people sort of blame the weather

01:24:39.900 for this but if your mattress is trapping heat summer is just magnifying that problem that's one

01:24:45.380 of the reasons why so many people swear by ghost bed including me i sleep on it every single night

01:24:50.240 cooling technology is built into every ghost bed mattress it is not some expensive add-on or

01:24:56.140 premium upgrade it's just part of the design the goal is simple to help you stay cool and

01:25:01.420 comfortable and asleep throughout the night instead of waking up sweaty and frustrated at

01:26:43.520 perspective next keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can

01:26:49.700 you know put you or them in danger it means being prepared for all the situations you know

01:26:54.580 Even those situations where deadly force is not needed, in fact, it's a real problem.

01:26:59.420 There are more of those than you think.

01:27:00.840 And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs,

01:27:05.480 but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody.

01:27:08.180 And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast.

01:27:13.400 There is a tool for this.

01:27:14.460 It's the Berna Launcher.

01:27:15.560 It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson.

01:28:23.120 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

01:28:38.580 just putting the final touches on the chalkboard i'm going to do a chalkboard show

01:28:46.100 commercial-free just for Torch members.

01:28:50.540 It is explaining Iran and trying to give you,

01:28:56.380 how did we get here?

01:28:57.660 How did we get here?

01:28:58.560 What has tried?

01:28:59.640 What has failed?

01:29:00.680 What has worked?

01:29:02.100 And why are we at war with Iran?

01:29:05.280 I'm not going to try to convince you one way or the other.

01:29:08.460 I just want you to know the facts.

01:29:09.980 I'm going to tell you the history and give you some real perspective

01:29:12.440 on what I think is now turning into the most dangerous war of my lifetime.

01:29:17.460 That'll happen live at glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:29:20.860 Join us now.

01:29:21.680 It happens in about 53 minutes from now.

01:29:25.940 And it'll be live at the chalkboard.

01:29:27.600 Okay, I want to tell you, I want to give you some perspective again on, you know,

01:29:33.420 I was really overwhelmed by yesterday's show and the response to yesterday's show.

01:29:37.080 So many people said, you know, geez, I'm depressed,

01:29:40.060 and it does seem like there's no way out, blah, blah, blah.

01:29:42.120 I really want to wear a t-shirt every day that says, we've been here before.

01:29:47.340 I mean, that's going to be the mantra of this show, I think, eventually, is we've been here before.

01:29:51.820 Because the more history I read, the more I look into things, I think we've been here before.

01:29:56.540 And that's what will give you a sense of calmness and perspective.

01:30:01.400 So right now, everything is horrible.

01:30:03.340 And I want to go back to the good old days, blah, blah, blah, because the good old days.

01:30:06.260 Well, I mean, talk to you about that.

01:30:08.160 because there's a pattern that we are repeating and it is worth mentioning.

01:30:13.000 So whether you're somebody who's thinking, you know, I should be a democratic socialist

01:30:16.820 or I'm a constitutionalist and everything's burning down and I don't know what to do.

01:30:22.720 I got it. Give me give me a couple of minutes here after I tell you about my patriot supply.

01:30:27.480 Some people have been getting ready for the end of the world for so long

01:30:30.440 that I suspect they'll be a little disappointed if it doesn't show up.

01:30:33.660 You know, they got enough freeze dried food to feed a small nation.

01:30:36.660 And that is good. Enough generators to power a city. And that's good. And a backyard that looks like you could survive a meteor strike. And that, well, that one might be a little too much. But, you know, it's not too much. Having a simple plan. Because preparing for an emergency, I don't care if you're preparing for the end of the world or just, you know, a flood, whatever it is.

01:30:57.320 You're covered for things if they go bad for a while.

01:31:00.380 And that's why I like My Patriot Supply.

01:31:40.280 Right behind me here in the studio.

01:31:44.040 We don't have, we have swamp coolers up here at the ranch.

01:31:46.720 And, you know, it gets up in the 90s.

01:31:49.400 In late July and in August, we get into 90, 100 degrees, and it's really super hot without real air conditioning.

01:32:00.940 So there's a door right behind me here, and I'm putting a screen door in there.

01:32:04.640 And I asked for a wood screen door because it's the sound of my childhood.

01:32:10.060 There was a sound in the 70s that almost no one under 40 has ever heard, and it's a screen door.

01:32:17.720 It's the slam of wood on wood and then nothing because you were gone.

01:32:26.360 You were running.

01:32:27.560 You just opened the screen door and you would hear it as you were down the stairs already from the stoop.

01:32:32.080 You hear it go and slam closed.

01:32:34.940 Nobody knew where you were going.

01:32:36.980 Nobody expected to because that was the arrangement.

01:32:40.340 In the 1970s, you left after breakfast on a Saturday and you came home back at night

01:32:46.720 when the streetlights came on.

01:32:49.060 You didn't have a phone.

01:32:50.040 There was no tracker.

01:32:51.040 There was no check-in.

01:32:52.200 Your mom's entire surveillance system 1.00

01:32:54.280 was a set of lungs on her 1.00

01:32:55.920 and a nickname that she only used 0.96

01:32:58.040 when you were in trouble.

01:32:59.220 Mine was just my full name,

01:33:01.080 my two middle names.

01:33:04.300 That's what brought you back home.

01:33:08.480 It was a childhood that you owned.

01:33:11.020 You negotiated your own disputes

01:33:12.860 on a ball field with no empire.

01:33:15.460 You lost and found your way back. 1.00

01:33:18.060 You were bored, gloriously, stupidly bored. 0.98

01:33:21.660 And boredom was the mother of every invented game and every kid who ever built something in a garage. 0.97

01:33:28.120 In the 1970s, we had three channels in one country.

01:33:32.020 When something happened, we all watched the same man tell us about it at the same hour.

01:33:36.380 And then the next day, we'd go to work the next morning and we'd talk about the same thing.

01:33:41.120 Nobody had a feed.

01:33:42.380 Nobody had a bubble.

01:33:44.320 A hit song was a hit song for everybody.

01:33:48.020 Dinner was at a table.

01:33:50.380 The phone was bolted to the kitchen wall.

01:33:54.180 If you wanted privacy while you were on the phone,

01:33:56.320 you stretched the cord around the corner until it looked like a slinky.

01:34:01.440 Nobody photographed their food.

01:34:04.180 Photographing their food, I still don't understand that.

01:34:06.360 You barely photographed anything because you got 24 pictures on a roll and you had to wait a week to see them.

01:34:13.700 And 11 of them were of your mother's thumb.

01:34:17.880 Which means that most of the 70s really exist only in the heads of the people that were there.

01:34:23.220 Because mom always had her finger in front of the lens.

01:34:28.720 There's a kind of freedom in the 1970s that we will never get back. 0.62

01:34:33.380 A single paycheck could buy a house.

01:34:35.700 Not necessarily a great house, but it was a house.

01:34:38.860 Your dad would work for one company and expected to die with a pension from that company.

01:34:43.780 The bank was a building with a man in it who knew your family's name.

01:34:49.020 Those are real losses.

01:34:51.660 I don't romanticize those things.

01:34:54.600 I miss them.

01:34:55.400 now let me tell you the part of the 1970s that if you romanticize the 70s you'll leave out

01:35:04.580 the air in america in our cities in 1972 was something you could taste i couldn't believe

01:35:13.440 this but it's absolutely true i was in pittsburgh i saw it it's crazy pittsburgh had days where you

01:35:20.840 could drive and you had to drive with your headlights on at noon because of the smog.

01:35:27.680 The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire. A river on fire. Not once, but at least 13 times.

01:35:39.340 Did you know that Lake Erie was declared dead? 42% of adults smoked and they smoked everywhere,

01:35:48.060 Everywhere. In the office, in the hospital, on an airplane, in a non-smoking section that was separated strangely from the smoking section by an imaginary line in the air.

01:36:02.460 Your pediatrician might have lit up a cigarette while examining you.

01:36:07.940 you rode in the back of a station wagon facing backward no seat belt 70 miles an hour with a

01:36:16.280 bare steel dashboard and a steering column that your father the steering column was engineered

01:36:23.340 to run through your father's chest if you were hit head on it was a death trap 26 000 americans

01:36:31.040 died every year in alcohol-related crashes.

01:36:36.060 How's that possible?

01:36:36.900 Because drunk driving wasn't a crime.

01:36:39.060 It was a personality trait.

01:36:41.660 You'd hear people laugh about,

01:36:43.300 I gotta tell you, I don't even remember driving home.

01:36:46.100 What?

01:36:49.540 Did you know that airplanes got hijacked constantly?

01:36:53.740 Between 1961 and 1972,

01:36:56.680 There were more than 150 hijackings of an American aircraft.

01:37:02.120 There was a stretch where it happened on average once every other week.

01:37:07.760 Pilots actually carried a map of Cuba in the cockpit because they figured I might need this at some point.

01:37:14.540 There wasn't any screening.

01:37:16.860 You walked to the gate like you were walking to a bus station.

01:37:20.760 Universal passenger screening didn't begin in this country until January of 1973.

01:37:25.080 and I don't even know what that means

01:37:27.200 because I remember it between

01:37:28.680 73 and 2001

01:37:30.560 I don't remember being screened

01:37:32.920 what are you talking about

01:37:33.960 he just walked onto the plane

01:37:35.960 then there were the things that people did not

01:37:41.120 say

01:37:41.580 if a man beat his

01:37:45.060 wife that's a private matter

01:37:46.960 if a child was being hurt

01:37:50.840 keep your voice down

01:37:52.340 cancer was a word you said like this i think grandpa has cancer

01:37:59.180 a child with leukemia in 1974 had roughly even odds of seeing five more years today

01:38:08.620 seeing five more years that's 90 percent

01:38:11.400 roughly a million american children with disabilities were not in school i don't

01:38:17.660 mean struggling in school. They weren't in school. They were legally excluded because they had a

01:38:23.360 disability until Congress changed that law in 1975. There were no curb cuts. There were no ramps.

01:38:31.020 A man in a wheelchair, he just didn't go anywhere. And the country was fine with it. 1.00

01:38:40.800 Okay, so why am I telling you this?

01:38:47.660 I want you to sit with it for a second.

01:38:49.360 Let me take a break right here.

01:38:50.900 I want you to sit with that.

01:38:51.920 Just think about the things I just said, both good and bad.

01:38:54.620 Why am I telling you this?

01:38:56.600 60 seconds.

01:38:57.720 First, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:39:00.560 It's easy to say we stand with somebody.

01:39:04.020 I mean, we've been saying never again forever.

01:39:06.780 Well, I stand with Israel. 0.85

01:39:08.360 Okay, now it's gotten tough.

01:39:09.840 Look how many people have just dropped like flies.

01:39:12.500 To actually stand when somebody is really hurting and it costs you something,

01:39:17.660 That's hard

01:39:20.260 But that's what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

01:39:24.020 Has been doing now for years

01:39:25.380 They provide food to the hungry

01:39:26.920 They care for the elderly

01:39:28.000 They help children and families in need

01:39:30.020 Wow, it sounds like what Jesus was telling us to do

01:39:32.960 They make sure that

01:39:34.740 Jewish people 0.90

01:39:36.100 Some of the most vulnerable people in Israel

01:39:38.600 That they know they haven't been forgotten

01:39:40.900 Given everything that the Jewish people have endured

01:39:45.500 Especially in recent years

01:39:47.160 That kind of faithful support matters now more than ever.

01:39:51.260 Scripture tells us to bless the Jews.

01:39:53.260 It doesn't say agree with Benjamin Netanyahu.

01:39:55.680 Nowhere in the Bible does it say support them in all their wars,

01:39:58.600 whatever they want to do.

01:40:00.280 No. 0.98

01:40:02.040 It says bless the Jews.

01:40:04.420 The IFCJ gives Christians tangible ways to do that.

01:40:09.400 You and I have a duty and the privilege of participating in something that is so important.

01:40:14.620 Where it ends, I don't know.

01:40:15.520 God knows.

01:40:15.980 I don't know.

01:40:16.520 but maybe this is where it starts.

01:40:19.040 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

01:40:20.980 and just join them in praying for the peace of Jerusalem

01:40:23.820 and the soldiers and the families and the civilians

01:40:25.920 on both sides that are carrying this burden right now.

01:40:29.920 Visit prayifcj.org.

01:40:31.900 That's prayifcj.org.

01:40:35.060 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:40:46.520 Okay. Start with a screen door.

01:40:52.080 End with kids who are handicapped or have special needs. 1.00

01:40:56.160 They're just not in school. 1.00

01:40:59.480 Here's what I want you to get.

01:41:02.200 In the early 1950s, there was a young geochemist.

01:41:05.900 His name was Claire Patterson.

01:41:08.600 And he set out to answer a question that had nothing to do with anything in this monologue.

01:41:13.820 He just wanted to know how old the earth was.

01:41:16.520 he measured lead, lead isotopes in meteorites.

01:41:21.300 And he got his answer, four and a half billion years.

01:41:23.680 Number we still use, four and a half billion years.

01:41:26.600 The problem was he couldn't get clean readings

01:41:28.760 because his samples were contaminated.

01:41:31.080 Every single one of them, no matter what he did.

01:41:32.980 So he built the world's first ultra clean laboratory

01:41:36.060 to find out why.

01:41:38.300 And it was there that he found something.

01:41:41.260 He found that contamination wasn't in his equipment.

01:41:44.360 Contamination on lead was everywhere in the world

01:41:48.060 Lead was in the dust

01:41:50.220 It was in the rain

01:41:51.160 It was in the snow of Greenland

01:41:52.660 It was deep in the ocean

01:41:53.820 It was in the bones of every American

01:41:56.280 Hundreds of times more than any human being

01:41:59.640 Who had ever lived before the 20th century

01:42:01.820 Had ever had

01:42:03.180 And the source was gasoline

01:42:07.360 Lead in the gasoline

01:42:08.860 We had been pouring lead gasoline

01:42:11.320 Into our vehicles since the 1920s

01:42:13.360 and that lead poison was everywhere.

01:42:17.180 So he brought this up.

01:42:18.560 Now, remember, he's just studying rocks.

01:42:20.460 He just wants, but he brings this up

01:42:21.980 and he's like, hey, this is a problem.

01:42:23.180 Well, the industry comes for him

01:42:24.500 and they funded opposing science.

01:42:27.860 I mean, you've heard this story.

01:42:28.960 We've done this story over and over again.

01:42:31.040 They leaned on his university.

01:42:32.800 They kept him off of the federal advisory panels,

01:42:35.440 the National Research Council

01:42:37.100 that was convening a lead panel

01:42:41.180 and they left off the one man on earth

01:42:43.920 who understood it the best.

01:42:45.340 Okay.

01:42:46.460 Well, he spent 20 years being called an alarmist

01:42:49.100 by men in really nice suits.

01:42:52.280 And then what happened?

01:42:53.940 In 1973, they start phasing out lead gasoline

01:42:57.140 because they knew the truth.

01:42:58.940 And now we have non-leaded gasoline.

01:43:02.760 It's because that guy,

01:43:03.480 the average blood lead levels in America

01:43:06.580 fell by roughly 80%.

01:43:11.380 Now, there are economists who will tell you that a meaningful chunk out of the crime wave that terrified this country and the crash that followed it traces back to that one decision.

01:43:23.700 Now, at the same time, a pediatrician in Rutherford County, Tennessee, his name was Robert Sanders.

01:43:29.420 He got tired of watching babies come into the emergency room after crashes.

01:43:33.640 Remember, we were sitting in the back seats facing the other direction.

01:43:36.420 And, you know, dad with a steering wheel, it just shot through his chest.

01:43:42.160 And nobody was wearing, nobody had car seats.

01:43:44.360 They weren't required.

01:43:46.720 So he's seeing these babies go through windshield.

01:43:49.160 And he's like, this has got to stop.

01:43:50.800 And they laughed at him.

01:43:52.480 People said, government has no business in a man's automobiles.

01:43:55.120 Well, he came back and back and back and back.

01:43:59.180 And finally, Tennessee passed the first child restraint law in America in 1977.

01:44:03.660 Hey, let's make sure our kids don't fly through the windshield of the car.

01:44:06.960 And within eight years, every state in the union had one.

01:44:11.940 Okay, so why am I telling you all this stuff?

01:44:14.920 Because that's the principle.

01:44:17.020 And it's the only one that actually matters every day in our lives.

01:44:20.980 Nothing on that list I gave you in the 70s fixed itself.

01:44:24.500 Not the river, not the air, not the lead, not the car seat, not the school door.

01:44:28.500 every single item was one person's stubborn unglamorous decade-long fight

01:44:36.700 and usually against people who told them stop being so hysterical

01:44:41.180 so when somebody says this country is finished look at the decline we're in everything is worse

01:44:50.080 than it used to be no no no no it's not and you have to be prepared to answer them no it's not

01:44:55.940 Notice that there are things that I miss from the 90s.

01:44:58.340 There are things that I miss from the early 2000s.

01:45:03.160 But we've gotten better in a lot of things.

01:45:05.740 Since the 1970s, the air is cleaner.

01:45:07.760 The water is cleaner.

01:45:09.020 Cars don't kill us.

01:45:11.020 Planes aren't hijacked all the time.

01:45:13.240 Children don't go flying through the windshield.

01:45:17.120 The doors to our school are open to everyone. 1.00

01:45:20.280 A kid with a disability sits in a classroom

01:45:23.280 instead of being hidden in a back bedroom. 1.00

01:45:29.960 We lost the screen door.

01:45:33.980 We lost having to invent games ourselves

01:45:38.680 because we were bored.

01:45:40.420 We lost the bike with no destination

01:45:43.140 and cards in the spokes.

01:45:46.100 We lost the one channel that we all watched

01:45:49.020 and brought us together.

01:45:51.100 But we didn't get worse.

01:45:55.580 We got better at the things we decided to get better at.

01:45:59.980 And we only got worse at the things we stopped paying attention to or took for granted.

01:46:07.800 That's not fate. That's a to-do list.

01:46:11.900 The people who cleaned up the 70s were not more talented than we are.

01:46:16.180 they were just unwilling to be told

01:46:20.140 it couldn't be done

01:46:21.220 as I was writing this yesterday

01:46:32.960 the thing that kept coming to me

01:46:41.680 over and over was

01:46:42.720 you know

01:46:44.080 Now, when we pay attention to something, we're remarkable people.

01:46:49.320 We're remarkable people.

01:46:55.000 Culture is not fixed by the government.

01:47:00.260 It's fixed by people, individuals, who want to do something about culture.

01:47:07.120 It's fixed by individuals who just say, I don't want to live like this.

01:47:12.480 you know what i i think television shows should be uplifting i i think whatever it is i think 0.96

01:47:19.080 music shouldn't all be about sticking something in somebody else's butt

01:47:23.400 there's a market for it believe it or not there's a market for it and today we are more free to

01:47:32.900 produce and release anything and yeah you could join the club and you know write songs about

01:47:42.100 putting things in people's butts, I guess, if that's what you want to do. Or we can go the

01:47:46.580 other direction. And we can say, you know, there are certain things, we got better since the 1970s,

01:47:51.140 but there are certain things that I do miss. I miss the family dinner. How do I change that?

01:47:57.200 I don't have to write a song about it. I don't have to make a TV show about it. I just have to

01:48:00.040 do it myself. And our children will grow up doing that as tradition. And they will want it.

01:48:07.760 and it will be so unusual.

01:48:10.540 You know, the way to really fix things

01:48:13.020 is be a peculiar people,

01:48:16.720 an unusual and peculiar people

01:48:18.960 that you are so different

01:48:21.300 that you might be called weird.

01:48:23.260 You might be called, you know, homeschoolers.

01:48:25.160 They're called weird

01:48:26.060 until you're having to compete against a homeschooler 0.89

01:48:28.960 and then you're like, oh crap, they're not weird. 0.79

01:48:31.060 They're just really buttoned up. 0.82

01:48:32.900 They learned stuff I didn't learn

01:48:34.120 and then because those homeschoolers

01:48:37.580 At first, we're weird, and now people look at them and go,

01:48:40.200 geez, I wish my kid was like that.

01:48:44.440 Now more people are homeschooling.

01:48:47.580 The way to fix things is just be a peculiar person.

01:48:53.320 Somebody that navigates, isn't preaching to everybody,

01:48:56.400 isn't carrying a sign, but just enough peculiarity

01:48:59.760 where people go, what is it about Bill?

01:49:02.380 Why is he like that?

01:49:03.460 Have you noticed his family is different?

01:49:05.180 And they will come to you.

01:49:07.580 That's how you change things, how you change things.

01:49:12.020 Culture is never going to be changed by the federal government.

01:49:15.080 It's going to be changed by you.

01:49:17.780 We stop paying attention to it.

01:49:20.200 Let's pay attention to it again.

01:49:22.060 All right, Patriot Mobile.

01:49:22.920 Pretty hard to change a country with a single decision,

01:49:25.760 but you can change a little bit of it by making just good choices.

01:49:29.640 Every month, you're going to pay for a cell phone service.

01:49:31.560 The real question is, who gets that money?

01:49:33.800 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

01:49:36.880 This is exactly what I was talking about.

01:49:39.520 These people stand by our values, the values of America.

01:49:43.340 They're on all three major networks.

01:49:45.720 They have US-based customer support, but they have also donated millions of dollars to support the causes of faith, family, and freedom.

01:49:53.440 They are always the first to volunteer their bodies and their money.

01:49:58.140 When there is a disaster somewhere, they're always there on the front line with us.

01:50:01.900 Always, always.

01:50:03.300 I want to support the people who support me, support my values, support my family, support my country.

01:50:11.160 So why aren't you doing business with PatriotMobile.com?

01:50:14.680 See, this is the secret.

01:50:16.440 What I just talked about, the secret is consistency, doing it in everything in your life.

01:50:22.180 This is an easy way to make a huge difference.

01:50:25.640 Change right now.

01:50:27.480 Switch phone service, PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972-PATRIOT.

01:50:30.940 Use promo code Beck, free month of service.

01:50:32.600 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:50:35.540 Why has every president for nearly 50 years failed on Iran?

01:50:39.480 Well, Glenn goes overtime after the show, live at 12 p.m. Eastern, only at GlennBeck.com.

01:50:44.460 Join us today.

01:51:00.560 All right.

01:51:02.540 Welcome to the program.

01:51:04.740 Going back to the chalkboard here in about 25 minutes, 26 minutes from now,

01:51:08.900 I'm going to do an hour on the scariest war of my lifetime.

01:51:16.520 It's happening right now.

01:51:18.420 This is possibly the most consequential war of my lifetime,

01:51:22.800 and I have no idea how it ends.

01:51:24.480 I know where I stand on it, but I am not happy about fighting this war.

01:51:33.120 I'm not happy about it at all.

01:51:36.900 But I'm not sure we have any other choice.

01:51:40.680 And I'm going to show you what every other president has done in the past.

01:51:44.660 And it's pretty remarkable.

01:51:47.440 You'll see it.

01:51:48.140 You'll see it on the chalkboard.

01:51:49.080 And I want to take you back and show you the history of what we're really actually fighting.

01:51:56.040 I'm going to take you back to the 1700s and show you what we're really fighting and what

01:52:00.720 the argument really is, because we've been here before.

01:52:04.440 Jefferson and Adams disagreed on our first foreign war.

01:52:10.260 Adams said, pay the toll, pay it, pay the bribe to the Barbary pirates. 0.54

01:52:15.660 And Jefferson said, they want to kill us. 0.98

01:52:18.420 they will kill us if we don't stop it now they'll eventually come back and kill us

01:52:23.160 um and it's taken him 250 years but he was right he was right but was jeff was adam's right pay

01:52:31.620 him it's cheaper than war i mean look how long we've lasted i'm gonna lay this whole thing out

01:52:36.480 for you uh in a way i don't think anybody has yet and it'll be hopefully it'll take some stress off

01:52:41.260 your shoulders because you'll you'll be able to at least because i'm not going to try to convince

01:52:45.720 you one way or another. I don't want to be in that position on war. I just wanted to bring you all

01:52:50.280 the facts and then you can decide whether you're John Adams or Thomas Jefferson, both of them

01:52:55.100 patriots, both completely different. And it's the same argument we've had up until now, up until

01:53:03.000 now. And so we'll talk about that right at noon Eastern time, right after the show. You can join

01:53:10.080 us right now and become an insider. It's for insiders, only for Torch members. You can get

01:53:14.840 that live right at noon

01:53:16.940 Eastern. Go to glenbeck.com

01:53:19.160 slash torch and become a member

01:53:20.520 today.

01:53:22.580 All right. I got to tell you this crazy,

01:53:24.820 crazy story

01:53:26.760 that I saw yesterday

01:53:28.720 on X from Brian Johnson. I don't know

01:53:30.820 if you know who Brian Johnson is. He's a tech entrepreneur.

01:53:33.500 He was the founder, I think, of

01:53:34.720 Braintree and Venmo.

01:53:38.680 He also is behind

01:53:40.320 Don't Die.

01:53:42.660 It's a longevity project.

01:53:44.840 Which, do you want to live forever?

01:53:49.900 Because I really don't think I want to.

01:53:51.980 Do you want to live forever?

01:53:55.640 No.

01:53:56.600 Anyway, he has spent millions of dollars trying to reverse his biological age.

01:54:01.760 And yesterday, he made an announcement on X.

01:54:05.840 And here's what he wrote on X.

01:54:08.420 And I'm quoting.

01:54:09.700 I just cloned myself as a newborn.

01:54:12.280 With this clone, I can become my own blood boy, test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplants, develop new treatments, inject young cells.

01:54:27.140 I'm still quoting, this baby Brian lives now in a Petri dish, dot, dot, dot, for now.

01:54:32.960 okay he goes on this might be scary to some people a dystopian future but for others they

01:54:41.340 will see this as the inevitable future of health clinical trials are already using this technology

01:54:48.120 to restore dopamine neurons for parkinson's heart health and eyesight the process draws blood my

01:54:56.160 Cells were abstracted.

01:54:58.480 I don't even know this.

01:54:59.700 Yamanaka, Yamanaka, whatever, were applied.

01:55:05.860 They reset.

01:55:07.860 Epigenetic age restores them to an embryonic-like state.

01:55:13.920 So now these cells could be grown into anything, okay?

01:55:19.860 And he goes on and on and on.

01:55:21.220 Okay.

01:55:26.160 Let me say first, science is amazing.

01:55:33.620 It's really amazing.

01:55:36.900 It's not exactly what he's saying.

01:55:39.260 He didn't clone himself.

01:55:40.600 What he actually did is he took a sample of his own blood,

01:55:43.080 pulled out some cells, chemically rewound them back to a blank,

01:55:47.140 a baby state, the kind of cell that can grow into almost any body part.

01:55:52.140 Scientists have been doing this since 2006.

01:55:54.220 It's called making stem cells.

01:55:55.640 It won a Nobel Prize.

01:55:57.640 His plan is to eventually grow fresh tissue from these cells

01:56:01.300 to repair his own aging organs.

01:56:03.760 That's it.

01:56:04.240 There's no baby, no second Brian, no clone of any real sense.

01:56:07.600 Just a dish with his own cells reset to act young.

01:56:11.940 He's calling it cloning myself as a newborn.

01:56:14.920 Catchy exaggeration, but not exactly what happened.

01:56:20.120 Dot, dot, dot, yet.

01:56:22.820 As he said, dot, dot, dot, yet.

01:56:25.640 Okay, so the goal is incredible.

01:56:30.100 Grow replacement organs, repair damaged tissue, restore eyesight, reverse disease.

01:56:36.580 Maybe one day, reverse aging itself.

01:56:40.940 Okay, this is really exciting.

01:56:43.480 It's a really exciting frontier in medicine.

01:56:47.040 With that said, could I just ask one question?

01:56:49.360 has anyone any scientist ever read a book or seen literally any science fiction movie

01:57:04.340 anyone any one of them because i swear to you every day i get up every technological breakthrough

01:57:11.080 now feels like we're speed running through the plot of every movie that terrified me as a child

01:57:16.200 okay we've created an exact genetic copy cool for medical purposes still with you

01:57:24.500 currently lives in a lab guys guys guys guys have you ever seen the movie jurassic park

01:57:32.040 just saying that's what they said i just i just lives in a lab it's perfectly fine

01:57:37.460 the entire first act of that movie is smart people saying don't worry we thought of everything

01:57:44.540 You thought of everything.

01:57:46.660 Third act.

01:57:47.240 By the third act in the movie, they're hiding in a kitchen from velociraptors or the island.

01:57:52.780 Don't worry.

01:57:53.520 They're just clones.

01:57:54.820 Right, right.

01:57:56.140 And then they start asking inconvenient questions like, why do I have memories?

01:58:00.280 And suddenly everybody has a moral crisis.

01:58:03.080 How about Gattaca?

01:58:04.560 We only use genetics to improve humanity. 0.86

01:58:07.220 Five minutes later, society is ranking babies like college applicants.

01:58:12.060 Ex Machina. 0.82

01:58:12.860 Have you seen that one?

01:58:13.560 That's the Frankenstein of our day.

01:58:15.540 We built an incredibly intelligent artificial being.

01:58:19.120 And everyone immediately forgets the most important rule in history.

01:58:22.520 Don't underestimate the thing that's smarter than you.

01:58:27.040 How about the Matrix?

01:58:28.180 Has anybody in science seen the Matrix?

01:58:30.940 We made machines to make life easier.

01:58:33.300 Bold strategy. 0.67

01:58:34.980 That leads to Terminator.

01:58:36.520 We connected everything to one intelligent system.

01:58:39.600 How'd that work out?

01:58:40.700 I mean, jeez, Frankenstein, written over 200 years ago, was basically one long warning that maybe, just maybe, we should spend as much time asking, should we, as we spend asking, can we?

01:58:59.340 And somehow our response as a species has been interesting feedback.

01:59:02.960 Let's make that bigger.

01:59:03.980 meanwhile somebody's over there in the corner growing tiny little versions of their own cells

01:59:10.740 in a dish to help cure disease which objectively is amazing while another part of my brain is

01:59:16.540 standing in the corner screaming at the scientist like i'm watching a horror movie he's behind you

01:59:21.820 don't open that door why would you go into the basement you know that feeling when you're

01:59:29.080 watching a character make absolutely the worst possible decision you know what we are we're

01:59:34.160 living in a movie that half the audience leaves and go humans would never do that they never act

01:59:39.280 that way we're doing it this is me reading the biotech headlines researchers successfully nope

01:59:48.400 scientists have developed absolutely not we've achieved achieved a breakthrough in why why is

01:59:56.480 am I the only one hearing the music getting louder here?

02:00:00.200 I swear to you, the funny thing is,

02:00:01.940 technology genuinely could save millions of lives.

02:00:06.220 Parkinson's, blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, cancer.

02:00:10.780 How do you argue against that?

02:00:12.800 I'm not scared of the science.

02:00:15.300 I'm kind of scared by the scientists.

02:00:17.940 I'm fascinated by the science.

02:00:20.180 I'm participating in the science.

02:00:22.340 You are too.

02:00:23.060 I just can't shake the feeling that humanity

02:00:25.400 is collectively walking through the opening scenes

02:00:27.660 of every sci-fi movie ever made,

02:00:31.200 smiling confidently while the audience is yelling at the screen,

02:00:36.200 please, stop.

02:00:42.780 I'm not the only one hearing the ominous background music

02:00:45.680 every day of my life, right?

02:00:47.480 It's not just me, is it?

02:00:50.440 Well, it's going to be interesting to see how this all turns out.

02:00:55.400 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

02:00:56.620 It's Real Estate Agents I Trust.

02:00:59.140 There are a lot of people who don't believe in half measures.

02:01:02.100 Everything they do, they give 100% of themselves doing it.

02:01:06.720 I hate those people.

02:01:08.560 They do it happily.

02:01:09.500 They do it in a timely fashion.

02:01:11.080 And they do it right the first time.

02:01:13.260 And when one of those people becomes a real estate agent, my company, Real Estate Agents

02:01:17.460 I Trust, seeks them out so we can pair them up with you when you want to buy or sell a

02:01:22.240 house.

02:01:22.520 started years ago with my brother, Robert, when, you know, I saw how difficult it was for me to

02:01:28.460 actually get a competent person and he couldn't get a competent person that we could really count

02:01:32.360 on. So we started seeking out great real estate agents. We started with the 500 best real estate

02:01:37.460 agents in the country, according to the wall street journal, they're hardworking, they're

02:01:41.000 honest people. We learned how those people work and then we find others like them. Um, now we've

02:01:45.920 only got about 3000, I think around the country, we have a waiting list of over 10,000 agents that

02:01:50.240 want to be on this list. They want to be recommended to you, but we're not going to

02:01:53.400 recommend them because we haven't had the time to vet all of them. And we want to make sure we can

02:01:58.240 vet them and stay on top of it. So if there's a problem, we don't recommend that person anymore.

02:02:03.900 It matters to us that you have a great experience. I don't charge you for this. You can hire them or

02:02:09.460 not. I just want to introduce you to them. You see if there's a difference. Then you make the

02:02:13.120 decision to hire them. It's realestateagentsitrust.com. That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

02:02:20.240 Doesn't matter if you drive a truck or a Tesla.

02:02:24.240 Raising good kids takes the same kind of love.

02:02:50.240 so we're doing a uh after show special it's uh an hour and it's it's going deep

02:03:03.520 into um iran and we had you know a lot of discussions on you know whether this should

02:03:12.020 be an after show thing or this should be on the regular show i want you to know how i make my

02:03:16.580 decisions on after show. Um, uh, one, I can do them commercial free. And so if they become very,

02:03:22.920 very, um, if the storyline is long and involved, I don't want to break for commercials because

02:03:29.720 it's hard to, um, it's hard to have a through line that you can follow. And this one is a

02:03:36.440 little complex because I'm going to take you all the way through, um, the history of what every

02:03:42.180 president has done uh with the war in iran and with the situation in iran and and show you how

02:03:48.620 we have been talking about this since the 1700s and what we're actually facing what actually

02:03:54.140 happened in 1979 in the revolution um what happened to those people and i'm going to give

02:03:59.560 you the actual dates and everything else that you can look up and um this is something that if you

02:04:04.840 If you are wrestling with the war or you want to defend it or work against it, this will work both ways for you because this is just all facts.

02:04:31.080 Let's see.

02:04:31.820 There's some insider questions here.

02:04:33.980 Rebecca says, Glenn, I so appreciate the facts of how life was in the 1970s. That's history,

02:04:39.840 and I crave it, but it gives great perspective on my life now. Thank you. Enduring Ember,

02:04:45.500 I personally think our brains were not able to process the amount of information that comes at

02:04:49.960 us on a daily basis today. It's almost like it's by design. They want to overwhelm you.

02:04:56.060 You know, yes, some ways, some cases it is being used that way, but I don't think,

02:05:00.900 I think this is just technology growing faster than we are and growing past what a human should be able to do.

02:05:09.900 We are no longer, you know, we used to get our news in 30-minute chunks, and it was once a day.

02:05:15.460 Now we're living it 24-7, and we're having to decide on everything.

02:05:20.600 Everybody has to have an opinion on absolutely everything.

02:05:23.380 Well, you're not built for that.

02:05:24.920 That's why we have a republic.

02:05:26.880 That's why you hire people to do this in Washington, to make some of these decisions for you.

02:05:31.880 You have to be informed.

02:05:33.100 You have to know what's going on.

02:05:34.140 But my gosh, people were not designed for this.

02:05:37.700 And that's why we're all so tired and worn out and cranky.

02:05:40.620 As long as we're really cranky.

02:05:43.280 Sue in New Hampshire said, there are many things I miss from the past.

02:05:47.320 But one thing I never miss is being asleep.

02:05:49.840 Asleep to all that is going on in our government.

02:05:52.600 Being awake is hard, but if you're not awake, you can't see the light.

02:05:56.560 What a great perspective, Sue.

02:05:58.840 Lynn said, Glenn, what you talked about in the 1970s, these are all physical improvements,

02:06:05.160 but we lost the spiritual side.

02:06:07.360 We kicked God out of our schools.

02:06:09.520 Lynn, so you know, you should always take everything that I say and put on top of it,

02:06:15.320 God is the only answer.

02:06:16.680 God's the only way out of all of this.

02:06:18.640 Returning to him and his eternal principles

02:06:21.280 are the only way we're going to survive as a nation

02:06:24.020 and thrive again and change the world again for the better.

02:06:27.800 But you're absolutely right.

02:06:29.780 Everything really started falling apart when we lost that.

02:06:34.420 But we lost it first in our churches.

02:06:37.580 Beam me up, Scotty, in Raleigh, North Carolina.

02:06:41.740 Glenn, thank you for saying these people refused to be told it couldn't be done.

02:06:47.240 I'm working on an invention that right now

02:06:50.000 Everyone is telling me it can't be done

02:06:52.000 And I've almost lost my nerve

02:06:54.060 Until you spoke this monologue today

02:06:57.220 Oh, I'm grateful that you were listening

02:07:01.500 And I'm glad you got that inspiration

02:07:46.260 we're like wait wait i don't want to go down that path and we're all going down that path because
