00:04:12.920 your future. Well, about half an hour, I'm going to take a look at his friends because

00:04:18.260 they're kind of a little frightening. He's spoken at, you know, he's completely separate

00:04:24.000 from the DSA. He's not crazy. He's not crazy. He's not part of that, but he's attended and

00:04:29.880 spoken at many DSA events, including fundraisers. A big part of his campaign has been Hassan Piker.

00:04:36.500 There's a friend I want to have to show you your future. And he's been endorsed by the entire

00:04:41.320 squad in congress so you know i think you got that going for you some of the things he wants to do

00:04:46.880 we'll get into this later but just just the highlights he wants to reform the supreme court

00:04:50.980 right who doesn't what do you say we put another three or four people on there

00:04:55.420 four why stop at four why not 40 yeah let's just change the supreme court um he wants to abolish

00:05:02.600 this filibuster abolish ice he opposes the save act my gosh he sounds like the republicans

00:05:11.920 He also wants to make sure that no future administration can stop the EPA from using its authority to regulate greenhouse gases.

00:05:21.220 And environmental justice must be served.

00:05:26.580 He wants to also stop the genocide war in Gaza, immediate arms embargo on Israel, tax billionaire wealth, right?

00:05:34.780 uh strengthen the unions much more government funding of education and give more money to

00:05:42.420 universities amen brother he's got my vote no no but we'll uh we'll check in on him that's what's

00:05:50.560 happening today in michigan the election and who gets who wants to guess we get a socialist

00:05:56.880 and an islamist as well you put those two together that's like peanut butter and chocolate

00:06:04.760 Except it tastes a little more like blood in the streets.

00:06:08.400 Also, yesterday, Japan was bailed out.

00:06:12.080 Wait a minute.

00:06:12.860 Wait a minute.

00:06:14.280 What?

00:06:16.580 When I hear bailout, I think, oh, that's one of my favorite things.

00:06:21.000 So you're probably sitting there thinking,

00:06:25.020 why did we bail out Japan yesterday?

00:06:30.260 Their currency is crashing.

00:06:32.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:33.060 I can't afford my rent.

00:06:35.360 Why, why, why did we bail out Japan yesterday?

00:06:38.220 Fair question.

00:06:39.900 Fair question.

00:06:41.420 Instead of just glossing over this and having everybody go, that's outrageous, or not paying attention to it at all, you need to understand this.

00:06:48.520 It's really important.

00:06:49.360 Give me two minutes.

00:06:50.240 Because, man, I was looking into this last night, and I'm like, and then Japan has currencies.

00:06:55.840 It's so boring, but really important.

00:06:58.980 So give me two minutes.

00:07:00.360 You get into financial trouble, and you're told, cut spending, right?

00:07:04.540 Work harder. Figure it out on your own.

00:07:07.240 There's no emergency bailout waiting for you, me, anybody else.

00:07:10.980 You miss a few paychecks, and you're the one sitting out in the street on a box wondering what the hell happened to your life.

00:07:16.640 But when a country like Japan starts falling apart financially, all the governments around the world suddenly move really super fast.

00:07:25.580 Why?

00:07:26.960 Japan has been in trouble for a long time, and everybody has been bailing them out for a long time, just keeping them afloat.

00:07:33.100 Why?

00:07:34.060 Because if their economy breaks, it's not just Tokyo.

00:07:37.840 You will feel it at your kitchen table.

00:07:41.140 Japan builds all of the parts that go into cars, computers, medical equipment, machinery, thousands of products Americans buy every single day.

00:07:51.000 If the Japanese companies can't produce or ship those parts, prices go up.

00:07:55.080 Businesses here will pay more, you'll pay more, it's bad.

00:07:58.660 That's not the worst part of it.

00:08:00.780 Japan also owns an enormous amount of U.S. debt.

00:08:06.020 Well, I don't care, you should.

00:08:08.540 Because if Japanese investors, if everything starts to crash,

00:08:12.620 the investors are going to start selling everything they have.

00:08:15.080 What does that mean?

00:08:16.540 They'll sell our debt to save themselves.

00:08:19.720 And that means borrowing will get more expensive on our debt and for you.

00:08:25.080 that'll mean higher much higher mortgage rates more expensive car loans businesses cutting jobs

00:08:31.980 more money costs more so they're calling it saving japan but what what he really tried to do is save

00:08:39.800 america and save the global financial system before it lands on your wallet so this one is

00:08:44.900 america first and that's the frustrating part you know when your budget falls apart you got to solve

00:08:50.000 it when the major economy starts to fall apart oh i got billions and trillions of dollars i can

00:08:55.780 can we help you just to stop the bleeding because the consequences do end up on your shoulders

00:09:02.540 whether you like it or not your paycheck your grocery bill your interest rate even your job

00:09:07.480 is tied to what happens halfway across the world uh you know that's that's the global that's

00:09:14.300 globalism ha ha ha don't you love it so yes japan matters um and it really matters that we bailed

00:09:22.600 them out yesterday unfortunately it does okay wake up let's move on you know there's so many

00:09:28.480 things going on you know the war yesterday we apparently have a leak someplace we should call

00:09:34.480 the plumber and i mean the kind of plumbers you know from the cia you know what i'm saying

00:09:38.160 fix the leak here in the Pentagon or somewhere.

00:09:41.920 Apparently, our plans to hit Iran were leaked to Iran.

00:09:46.660 We don't know how.

00:09:48.160 We should probably figure that one out.

00:09:51.300 But we're working on another peace deal, which...

00:09:56.860 We'll end up in bombing, I'm sure.

00:09:59.720 We're going to get into this here in a little bit.

00:10:01.200 But, you know, I got to tell you,

00:10:02.580 I have so many friends and so many people that have stopped listening to the news

00:10:07.300 because they think it's the same old state, same old,

00:10:10.420 or it's so big, I don't, I mean,

00:10:13.260 you wake up and there's a faction in this country

00:10:16.640 that doesn't want to reform the United States.

00:10:19.540 They want to blow it up.

00:10:20.740 They want to dismantle the entire constitution,

00:10:23.340 treat like it's old furniture that we've suddenly outgrown.

00:10:27.660 You know, I go, we got to get rid of the Supreme Court.

00:10:31.300 Man, maybe the presidency.

00:10:32.960 I mean, that's a good portion of our country.

00:10:34.900 What the hell is that?

00:10:37.300 And then you see things like the debt.

00:10:39.680 The debt's overwhelming.

00:10:41.080 You look at a war against an enemy that would rather die than surrender.

00:10:45.160 And you're like, okay, I think this is a problem.

00:10:50.200 And then you look at your own family.

00:10:51.960 You look at your own family at the chair that somebody stopped sitting in.

00:10:57.340 It's empty now.

00:10:58.620 Not because of death, but because of politics.

00:11:03.900 I mean, this is like the worst war we've ever fought in some ways.

00:11:06.920 the Civil War, the one where the line ran straight down the dinner table.

00:11:12.900 The economy grinds on, the government doesn't listen.

00:11:15.760 It'll hear the lobbyist in the room.

00:11:18.540 Honestly, it feels like it'll hear China, it will hear Japan,

00:11:22.720 but it won't hear the mom at the kitchen table.

00:11:27.660 Our country has gone godless, insane, absolutely insane.

00:11:32.340 and if that's where you are worn down a little jumpy ready to switch it off

00:11:40.080 you're not wrong to feel it you're not crazy it's a lot we're not built people are not built to deal

00:11:48.100 with all of the world's problems it's what we're all doing what the president has always done his

00:11:53.520 whole life you know all of the presidents that's why they get gray so fast that's why they're like

00:11:57.540 They look like they're 25 when they get in and they're 87 when they get out.

00:12:02.440 Because you're not designed to know all of this stuff and decide stuff.

00:12:08.040 But here's the good news.

00:12:09.340 I've been reading and not reading books on history.

00:12:12.760 I mean, I've been reading history, the letters, the real thing,

00:12:16.180 the words these people wrote in their own hand while the fires were still burning.

00:12:20.560 And I have to tell you, the more I read, the more I keep landing on one sentence.

00:12:24.940 I think I said six times on yesterday's program, and I'm going to keep saying it until I think it's etched into the walls of my studio.

00:12:32.520 We have been here before.

00:12:35.360 We have been here before.

00:12:37.400 Not something like this, but this.

00:12:41.120 And I wouldn't have believed it before.

00:12:43.940 The exact shape of the things that are scaring us the most already have a date on it.

00:12:49.900 Let me give you an example.

00:12:51.800 1798, summer.

00:12:53.620 Country is 22 years old, younger than a lot of people that are listening.

00:12:58.820 And it's coming apart.

00:13:00.540 It's coming apart.

00:13:01.920 There's a war on France, undeclared, ships burning at sea, debt from the revolution is crushing.

00:13:09.360 No one can find a bottom to it.

00:13:11.260 Our dollar is worth nothing.

00:13:13.420 Radical movement, born of the French Revolution, same terror now marching people to the guillotine by the cartload.

00:13:20.780 the great-grandfather of every collectivist creed that has frightened free people since

00:13:25.980 has admirers here who want to trade the american experiment for that and they're like you know what

00:13:32.960 they're doing in france it's the right thing you're like wait wait wait and then the party

00:13:36.920 in power is about about to answer all of it by making it a crime to criticize the government

00:13:43.420 and the guy in power is john adams and within weeks editors are going to be sitting in jail

00:13:49.980 for what they printed, and the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson is cracking under

00:13:55.860 the street. They're good friends, and people are saying out loud, it's not going to last the year.

00:14:01.380 The union's not going to last the year, and John Adams and Jefferson break up. They don't talk to

00:14:07.140 each other. Does any of this sound familiar? That's why I say it's not like this. It is this.

00:14:13.900 now john taylor comes into the scene he's from virginia he writes to a friend and says it's

00:14:20.720 finished the state should just split apart and be done with it all does that sound familiar

00:14:26.220 i'm tired we should just divvy up the state we should go our own ways the friend writes him back

00:14:32.020 the friend is thomas jefferson two years before he's president he puts down on the page in his

00:14:39.080 own hand, at the blackest hour, and I want to quote this, a little patience, and we shall see

00:14:45.260 the rain of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering true sight,

00:14:52.980 restore the government to its true principles. And in the same breath, he names two of our fears

00:14:59.820 right back at us. He writes, the horror of war and the long oppressions of the enormous public

00:15:06.320 debt. War and debt. Two words that we're dealing with right now at those proportions in 1798.

00:15:15.440 And you know what? He was right. Well, everybody said this thing is over. The reign of witches

00:15:21.260 passed. And it wasn't because a strong man rode in and fixed it. Not because our side finally

00:15:28.580 crushed the other side. We'll make them pay. It passed because a little patience turned into a

00:15:34.720 lot of ordinary people showing up two years later and voting. And this brand new kind of nation

00:15:41.420 handed power peacefully from one bitter rival to the man who wanted his job. And the losers just

00:15:49.680 went home. Jefferson called it the revolution of 1800. Not a shot was fired. The men swore the

00:15:57.460 fever would never break now i'm telling you this because it's not a comfort comfort is a blanket

00:16:05.860 this is a map and that's why i talked to you about history so much lately because it's a map

00:16:11.340 the story doesn't just say don't panic here's a blanket it tells you what worked patience over

00:16:20.400 panic, voting over getting into the streets and revolution, the ballot over the barricade,

00:16:27.960 recovering our true sight, remembering what the thing was built to do instead of throwing it all

00:16:34.060 out. Every time we've stood where we're standing now, the way out was never the loud thing.

00:16:41.840 It was people who knew their own history well enough to stop being afraid, doing the quiet,

00:16:47.760 stubborn un-newsworthy work of governing themselves that's it and just a nice little

00:16:56.220 bow on this package the two friends who bond cracked that year Adams and Jefferson they didn't

00:17:02.220 speak for over a decade but they finally found their way back they wrote to each other letters

00:17:07.840 for 14 years they died on the very same day the 4th of July 1826 50 years to the day the

00:17:14.600 Declaration of Independence was signed. Something they did together. The thing that broke over

00:17:22.820 politics was mended before the end. That happens too. It's in the record if you go looking.

00:17:30.740 So here's what I'm asking. We're going to look at a lot of crazy stuff today. A lot.

00:17:36.980 don't turn it off turn towards history i think i found the white pill in fact i feel like i found

00:17:45.900 a whole jar of white pills and it's just this know our own history and the fear loses its grip

00:17:54.780 because you realize wait a minute we've been here before at some point we've been here before and

00:18:00.480 there is a path and other americans have already walked that path so i invite you today to come

00:18:07.820 find those stories with me let's look at the world let's laugh at the world every day and you know

00:18:13.880 what bring a friend who's more tired than you are and we'll dig up the moment in the past that rhymes

00:18:20.360 with whatever is scaring us right now and we'll pull out the answer together because the answer

00:18:26.300 is almost already in history.

00:18:30.420 We're not the first generation

00:18:31.800 to think the lights were going out.

00:18:33.380 We're just the first one

00:18:34.860 who gets to know exactly

00:18:36.180 how the last ones turned them back on.

00:18:40.640 We've been here before.

00:18:42.900 Come learn it with me.

00:18:44.360 And I promise you,

00:18:45.540 you will not be afraid of the news again.

00:18:49.120 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor

00:18:50.760 and then we'll buckle up

00:18:52.020 because I got some Tall Rico, Texas

00:18:53.720 to talk to you about.

00:18:55.480 First, real estate agents, when it comes to buying and selling homes,

00:18:59.140 nobody wants to think about the price of a bad decision if you end up making one.

00:19:02.980 You end up paying too much, missing a problem during the inspection,

00:19:05.720 choosing the wrong buyer, losing the home you already really wanted

00:19:09.140 because negotiations didn't go the way they should have.

00:19:11.660 These are the things that can follow you for a long time.

00:19:14.360 That's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:19:17.620 I wanted to connect you with people who don't just open doors and hand you a brochure.

00:19:23.100 I wanted the agents who know their local markets, who understand the negotiation, who communicate well, who have proven that they put their clients first.

00:19:31.260 And we check these people six ways to Sunday, and it's an ongoing thing.

00:19:35.400 We check them over and over and over again.

00:19:37.880 When your life is on the line with something like the biggest financial decision you'll ever make, you want somebody that can help you avoid making a bad decision.

00:19:47.200 Please, check out realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:19:50.120 We'll show you how you can buy or sell a home even in this tough market.

00:19:52.580 The same name says it all.

00:19:54.000 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:19:57.280 10 seconds, station ID.

00:20:11.760 You know, it's funny, El Saeed, he has come out and he said, you know, it's funny to me

00:20:18.140 to assume Michigan votes for moderates

00:20:20.620 when it voted twice for Trump.

00:20:27.060 Nobody gets it, do they?

00:20:28.640 Do you know where I'm going on that?

00:20:31.340 Nobody gets it.

00:20:33.060 It's funny to me that people want to say

00:20:35.240 that this state votes for moderates

00:20:37.100 when it voted for Donald Trump twice.

00:20:44.080 I'm going to say something that nobody has said before,

00:20:47.460 At least that I have heard.

00:20:49.340 I'm sure somebody has, but it's true.

00:20:52.720 Trump was the moderate.

00:20:55.540 What?

00:20:56.260 He's crazy.

00:20:58.240 No, he was the moderate.

00:21:01.100 How do I know that?

00:21:02.780 Because blue dog Democrats voted for him.

00:21:06.100 And so did Republicans.

00:21:10.440 Donald Trump has always been perceived, not necessarily now,

00:21:14.820 But it has always been perceived as the working class guy, the guy who just, they mocked him.

00:21:22.960 He's like the guy who's sitting down at the bar at the end of the bar and saying all the crazy things that, you know, your uncle says that nobody wants to hear.

00:21:31.500 No, he was saying all the things that everybody was like, finally, somebody is saying that.

00:21:35.640 Yeah, men and women's sports?

00:21:37.680 No, I don't think so.

00:21:38.580 you know have kids listen to the the school and keep it from their parents and then the school

00:21:45.020 can have them shipped off to a hospital and have their their privates rearranged that's insanity

00:21:52.680 when did we get to a point with you know um transgender story hour when did we get to the

00:22:00.420 point where all white people are bad or all black people are bad or all chinese people are whatever

00:22:05.580 When did we get there?

00:22:07.920 Donald Trump was the moderate.

00:22:10.760 He was the one that's like, you shouldn't have to pay that much for gasoline.

00:22:15.180 You shouldn't, for climate change that we can't really put our finger on,

00:22:19.260 that doesn't make sense to me at all.

00:22:22.380 He was the moderate.

00:22:25.300 So, El Saeed, you're going to win today, I think.

00:22:30.880 But it'll be interesting to see in the general.

00:22:33.460 all right let me tell you about my patriot supply there is no such thing as a time machine

00:22:38.480 damn it but long-term food storage does come pretty close think about it you're you're taking

00:22:55.940 it is it's time machine i'm really kind of boring and disappointing one but a time machine nevertheless

00:23:03.020 Maybe there's a storm, power grid goes down,

00:23:05.000 maybe prices have gone through the roof,

00:23:06.740 supply chain has once again discovered,

00:23:09.040 you know, a brand new way to fall apart.

00:23:11.800 Maybe we're all starting to worry

00:23:14.180 that we're going to have to speak Chinese.

00:23:17.060 I mean, who knows?

00:23:18.360 The food you set aside today

00:23:19.680 will already be there waiting for you.

00:24:01.720 I gotta tell you, I just, I absolutely love politics.

00:24:24.320 When you can see past all the bullcrap, it is so hysterical.

00:24:28.840 It only gets frustrating when your friends are like, you know, I think he's really changed.

00:24:32.920 You're like, wait, wait, what?

00:24:35.780 Talking about James Tallarico, he is now surging.

00:24:40.700 He's one point ahead of Ken Paxton.

00:24:43.140 This could be very bad for Texas.

00:24:45.580 I don't think that's what's going to happen, but it depends on if Texans come out and they see past this.

00:24:52.120 Let me give you a couple of tweets.

00:24:53.900 Tallarico suddenly discovered barbecue, oil and gas, and Texas independence.

00:24:58.840 The second he needed Republican votes.

00:25:01.980 Funny how the guy who said God's non-binary, praised Texas drag queens, and ran a non-meet campaign is now trying to cosplay as a regular old Texan conservative.

00:25:12.560 The mask is slipping.

00:25:14.560 Texas sees through it.

00:25:16.300 Here's another one.

00:25:17.340 Progressive seminary student who thinks Jesus was a radical feminist and God is non-binary.

00:25:23.520 I'm just a Tal Rico.

00:25:25.160 I'm just a regular eighth-generation Texan who loves the oil industry and wants to work with conservatives.

00:25:31.480 You can't out-Texas actual Texans by putting on a costume for five months.

00:25:36.500 We remember the real record.

00:25:38.820 The Talrico pivot is something else.

00:25:42.080 And he is.

00:25:43.080 He's the patron saint of the pivot.

00:25:46.840 Which brings me to a little ditty I put together from the makers of the Ballist Rhino.

00:25:52.840 comes Talrico, Texas.

00:26:08.820 My daddy read the good book

00:26:11.800 and my truck's a Chevrolet.

00:26:16.100 I've been cutting taxes

00:26:18.300 since I woke up yesterday.

00:26:21.000 I'm just a good old boy

00:26:24.580 Apostrophe and all

00:26:26.940 Took the G off working

00:26:30.800 And I hung it on the wall

00:26:33.920 Got a flag out on the porch

00:26:37.800 And a flag up on the shed

00:26:40.900 And a third one that I salute

00:26:43.900 Before I go to bed

00:26:47.140 It's Tallarico, Texas

00:26:50.140 Where the brisket's made of peas

00:26:53.360 Where we honor all our soldiers

00:26:56.420 And we identify as trees

00:26:59.440 I love my gal, my dog, my truck

00:27:02.560 My whiskey and my lord

00:27:05.680 Just don't go asking what I said in 2024

00:27:11.460 It's Tallarico, Texas

00:27:15.000 Where the stars still spell my name

00:27:18.120 Where a red, white, blue illusion rides a purple party flame

00:27:24.320 I'm the son of every slogan on a tailgate in this town

00:27:30.560 Sing it bigger, sing it louder, boys, we ain't backing down

00:27:36.820 I filmed a little something out in Los Angeles

00:27:42.980 Twenty Texas voters in an oatmeal court to Dito

00:27:49.080 I told them God ain't he or she might be a they or them

00:27:55.300 Then I hollered Friday night lights, boys, and bolted for the van

00:28:03.360 That's a van, not a truck, but it's a real big van

00:28:09.240 And on a Texas kind of highway

00:28:12.540 Well, a van's a kind of man

00:28:15.440 It's Tallarico, Texas

00:28:18.580 Where the brisket's made of peas

00:28:21.840 Where we honor all our soldiers

00:28:24.840 And we identify as trees

00:28:27.780 I love my gal, my dog, my truck

00:28:30.940 My whiskey and my lord

00:28:34.080 Just don't go asking what I said in 2024

00:28:39.840 It's Tallarico, Texas

00:28:43.400 Crank that choir to the sky

00:28:46.500 Let the steel guitar be weeping

00:28:49.660 While the fireparks all fly

00:28:52.840 I'm the patron saint of the pivot

00:28:56.080 Bless this long star alibi

00:28:59.000 And if you catch me in the mirror

00:29:02.380 Working on that country twain

00:29:05.520 Just know this draw is bone deep, boys

00:29:08.900 It's been a me since spring

00:29:11.880 It has been.

00:29:15.700 That drawl has been there since spring.

00:29:17.680 So don't question it.

00:29:19.060 Tal Rico, Texas

00:29:20.000 from the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:23.140 All right.

00:29:23.500 We're going to take a quick break

00:29:24.800 and I'm going to come back

00:29:25.640 and I want to talk to you

00:29:26.460 because the country demands it.

00:29:28.540 The country demands that I talk about.

00:29:32.380 But I talk about sports, so I'm going to give the country what they're begging for next.

00:29:40.660 First, let me tell you about American financing.

00:29:42.720 Your mortgage may be the only thing in your house that still thinks, you know, it's the year you bought it because everything else has changed since then.

00:29:49.340 The furniture has moved, the kids have grown, maybe you've replaced the roof, remodeled the kitchen, or watched the value of your home increase.

00:29:56.180 But that loan is still sitting there, preserved in amber, operating under the same terms you agreed on years ago.

00:30:03.340 Now, maybe those terms still make sense, but have you checked?

00:30:06.560 Talk to American Financing.

00:30:07.960 They'll look at your current mortgage, they'll look at your financial goals and the equity that you have built,

00:30:12.440 and they'll help you understand whether a refi or another home loan option could improve your situation.

00:30:17.960 You can do this without resetting your low mortgage rate.

00:30:21.600 It's amazing.

00:30:22.780 Lower your monthly payment.

00:30:23.920 You could consolidate high interest debt.

00:30:26.080 Maybe the best move is to leave everything alone.

00:30:28.280 But the point is to know.

00:30:30.020 There are no upfront fees to find out what you qualify for.

00:30:32.840 Just talk to a salary consultant right now.

00:30:35.480 They're salary-based, so they're not making money.

00:30:37.320 If they sell you crap that you don't need, call 800-906-2440.

00:30:41.540 800-906-2440.

00:30:43.520 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:30:45.680 NMLS 182334.

00:30:47.800 NMLSconsumeraccess.org.

00:30:48.800 APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:30:52.520 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:30:57.140 Your feed's full of noise.

00:30:59.540 Your town's full of folks who'd help you move a fridge.

00:31:02.800 Don't lose touch.

00:31:05.140 Glenn Beck will be back after this.

00:31:22.520 so everybody's been talking about sophie cunningham for all kinds of different reasons

00:31:35.360 um she has expressed uh support of keeping biological men out of women's sports and here's

00:31:41.940 what she said i got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans i'm like i never once said

00:31:46.640 that i think i'm here to extend love but i also think that love is truth and being honest and i

00:31:51.760 want to protect young girls in the locker room or young girls on this in the sport who shouldn't

00:31:56.260 have to go against biological men i've said what i said i think it's common sense and i think it'll

00:32:01.460 i'll always believe in that i think it's important to protect children i don't dislike anyone i'm

00:32:06.120 there to love but i'm also there to love biological women really really brave now nobody is backing

00:32:11.700 her up nobody and i don't know a thing about sports not a single solitary thing i couldn't

00:32:18.860 name three current nfl quarterbacks if you held a gun to my head and promised me a lifetime supply

00:32:24.280 of those little plastic trophy thingies that they hang out at participation olympics okay

00:32:29.060 and as for the things that people insist on calling sports pickleball competitive axe throwing

00:32:36.400 synchronized coughing i'm even more lost on all of that stuff so of course my producers in their

00:32:41.360 infinite wisdom decided this is the time glenn you really need to talk about sports specifically

00:32:46.320 women's sports okay and the women on my staff Michaela um cornered me and she they were like

00:32:54.320 Glenn you have to say something you have to say something and then the producers who knew better

00:32:58.440 Jason egged them on grinning like you know they just discovered fire you know knowing what they

00:33:05.220 know about me and they're like yeah Glenn you gotta talk sports tomorrow okay so fine I worked

00:33:09.860 on it last night and here's what I've come up with my entire hard-earned deeply researched

00:33:15.320 opinion on the subject of men in women's sports. Why? That's it. Why? Why would a man full-grown

00:33:24.460 XY testosterone-soaked shoulder broader than a doorframe man want to compete in women's sports?

00:33:30.680 I get the temptation. I do. Lord knows if somebody had offered me a chance back when I was

00:33:35.320 a soft, under-coordinated kid who couldn't throw a ball without endangering nearby livestock,

00:33:41.100 I might have considered it for about 12 seconds

00:33:43.360 because competing against actual men, not happening.

00:33:46.600 Competing against boys who would become men in 20 years,

00:33:49.740 still not happening.

00:33:51.440 But then the 12 seconds would end

00:33:53.340 and the still functioning part of my brain would whisper,

00:33:57.560 Glenn, that's really pathetic, really pathetic.

00:34:00.360 And it would be, okay?

00:34:01.820 We're not supposed to notice the size difference.

00:34:04.520 We're not supposed to notice the strength difference.

00:34:07.020 We're not supposed to notice the muscle bone density,

00:34:09.780 the lung capacity, the simple brutal physics of all of it? We're required to look at a 6'2",

00:34:16.520 210-pound biological male lined up against a 5'7 woman and pretend our eyes are lying and the organ

00:34:23.840 behind them, the one that used to be called the brain, must remain silent? That's insanity. That's

00:34:29.440 not fairness. That's not inclusion. That is a slow, smiling destruction of every woman who has

00:34:36.760 trained her entire life for a medal that might as well be spray painted plastic now because let's

00:34:42.180 be honest who's even watching these events you know the stands are emptier than a politician's

00:34:47.340 promise so you go girl as they say you go girl you can do anything a man can do except compete

00:34:54.220 evenly in sports and that doesn't make you less it doesn't make him more it just makes him a him

00:35:02.920 not a her not a them not a they a him and the second we stop being allowed to say that out loud

00:35:11.760 sports stops being sports and becomes a costume party with participant with participant participation

00:35:17.840 ribbons that's it let me ask you this the w and wnba i know nothing but the w and wnba it does

00:35:25.680 stand for women right i mean it's like we're standing around and everybody's like do you

00:35:31.160 understand how the flux capacitor works no we don't have to figure that out and now no teammates

00:35:38.080 are going to stand up for sophie because she says i don't think women men in women's sports is safe

00:35:44.480 and even the coach won't weigh in but the weasel coach is worried about her job her being replaced

00:35:51.240 by a man cowards cowards and i know nothing about sports good news this isn't about sports

00:35:59.640 you know i i know less about things that people pretend are about sports but i know when something

00:36:07.140 is being stolen in broad daylight while the referees clap along so to the women fighting

00:36:14.280 to keep their own categories i see you i know it doesn't mean much i'm with you and i'm sorry the

00:36:20.980 adults in the room have decided that your hard work is less important than somebody else's feelings

00:36:25.820 and to my producers, Jason,

00:36:28.760 who thought it would be adorable or funny

00:36:31.100 to make the sport illiterate host talk about sports

00:36:34.920 and weigh in on this.

00:36:36.420 Congratulations, you got your monologue.

00:36:39.320 Now go stand in the corner and think about what you've done

00:36:42.060 while I think about six specials

00:36:45.100 that I need you to finish by Friday.

00:36:48.180 By the way, there is an article written by Michaela

00:36:52.560 who also, I find out, knows nothing about sports.

00:36:58.080 She's written an article at glenbeck.com all about this.

00:37:00.860 The WNBA's war on Sophie Cunningham,

00:37:04.220 and it could leave girls paying a very high price.

00:37:08.140 You'll find that article at glenbeck.com.

00:37:10.980 I got to tell you, in reading up on this yesterday,

00:37:15.340 the coach, Cheryl Reeves,

00:37:18.080 who wore a shirt with the message,

00:37:19.920 Trans Kids Belong,

00:37:21.460 i i mean you know anything about her she was on an interview on the podcast good game with

00:37:30.260 sarah spain and she was talking about how she fears that men were going to take women's coaching

00:37:37.440 jobs you know we had more women coaching college basketball before title nine after title nine it

00:37:43.440 became more important and more more of an investment that was code for well that's a man's

00:37:48.520 job. You get paid more. It becomes a man's job. To this day, we still don't have more women

00:37:52.980 coaching in college basketball than we do men. Apply that same thing two years ago. We lost seven

00:37:58.220 WNBA coaches. They got fired because of the sudden, this is money. The WNBA blew up. Valuation

00:38:04.640 of franchises comes to, here comes the NBA folks again. I had to cast aside for many years. Now

00:38:10.040 they want their franchises back, that sort of thing. It's more important. And so we have to

00:38:14.120 have more men coaching so she's worried about men taking her coaching job but not worried about the

00:38:22.000 players who are worried about men taking their playing job how do you how do these people not

00:38:30.040 see honestly it's an honest question how do these people not see the the contradiction

00:38:39.800 addiction in their thinking. Inconsistencies drive me out of my mind. I believe that men

00:38:50.400 should be able to be men and change over to women and then say they're a woman and take that job.

00:38:59.320 Well, how are you going to feel, Cheryl, if a man decides he's a woman and then takes your job as a

00:39:05.780 Coach, how are you going to feel about that man?

00:39:08.280 You're still going to be saying, you know, I really, I'm open to all this.

00:39:12.360 You lose your job.

00:39:14.200 I guarantee you, Cheryl Reeve, when this happens to you,

00:39:18.180 and part of me really hopes it does, when this happens to you,

00:39:22.920 I want to see you championing that man.

00:39:26.300 You know what?

00:39:27.220 That was good that that man took my job because he's a woman now,

00:39:31.440 and it's just another woman.

00:39:34.360 You're not going to say that.

00:39:35.780 You're not going to feel that.

00:39:37.000 You may say that because you're going to be so, you're such a coward now that that's not going to change.

00:39:44.060 Because courage is a muscle.

00:39:47.980 And if you just let it atrophy, you're going to be so weak when it comes time, when your job is at stake, when you're at stake, when something you believe in is at stake, your muscles are going to be so atrophied, there's no way you can stand.

00:40:03.520 And so you will live the rest of your life in cowardice.

00:40:09.760 Wow, that sounds pretty judgmental.

00:40:12.280 Yeah, it is.

00:40:14.080 I mean, I'm not judging her eternal soul.

00:40:17.200 She's probably going to hell.

00:40:18.840 But I'm not judging her eternal soul.

00:40:23.400 You know, that's not my job.

00:40:25.040 That's his job.

00:40:27.980 Not their job.

00:40:29.860 Not they, them.

00:40:31.840 Not her.

00:40:33.320 It's his job to judge.

00:40:37.060 I'm just saying, I'm looking at the decisions you're making,

00:40:40.820 and I'm still required to have some judgment.

00:40:43.800 It's a gift from God and a requirement.

00:40:46.720 It's a responsibility that we all have discernment.

00:40:51.900 And so we use that discernment to judge.

00:40:54.440 That one's right.

00:40:55.280 That one's wrong.

00:40:56.320 And then we also pray for the grace to be able to accept when we're wrong.

00:41:00.900 but I'm pretty sure

00:41:03.400 I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong

00:41:05.020 it's cowardice that is making all of

00:41:07.640 you're allowing

00:41:09.360 this woman to be bullied

00:41:11.220 she's saying it with

00:41:13.440 love she's saying it with

00:41:15.640 something that you can

00:41:17.280 actually back up scientifically

00:41:19.780 you can't back up the other side scientifically

00:41:21.820 you just can't period

00:41:23.520 but

00:41:25.900 if you disagree

00:41:28.220 it would be good to say

00:41:29.540 You know, Sophie's got a really good point.

00:41:31.140 I disagree with her, but she has a good point, and she has a right to express it.

00:41:33.820 But you won't, because you're a coward.

00:41:38.300 As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question.

00:41:49.240 How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America?

00:41:53.880 The answer is probably going to surprise you.

00:41:55.800 More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America.

00:42:01.780 That's not good.

00:42:03.700 One of the reasons I like Good Ranchers is because of that number.

00:42:06.540 They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door.

00:42:12.180 No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here.

00:42:19.320 I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

00:43:23.280 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:43:36.780 you know my mother used to say show me your friends and i'll show you your future

00:43:43.800 well i'm gonna show you uh el saeed's friends he's the guy who's most likely going to win

00:43:50.640 primary for the democrats um he definitely he is definitely not a socialist he'll tell you i'm

00:43:56.960 dsa i don't even know who they are and they're wrong by the way i've never heard of them but

00:44:01.280 they are wrong um and uh he's definitely not a socialist he's a big capitalist you know

00:44:07.680 big big big capitalist and he loves america except he'd like to change the supreme court

00:44:13.200 and some of the other some of the other things that are fundamental to our system but show me

00:44:19.120 me your friends and I'll show you your future. And let me show you the past and I'll show you

00:44:24.480 your future. We go there here in just 60 seconds. First chapter. Let me paint you a picture. You're

00:44:30.320 sitting at the kitchen table. There's a stack of Medicare papers and I'm talking a tall stack.

00:44:35.780 They're all plans with letters, plans with numbers, plans that all seem to promise you the same thing

00:44:40.520 until you read the fine print. So you do with what most people do. You just pick one. You put the

00:44:45.640 papers in a drawer you tell yourself well i hope i got that one right the year goes by your health

00:44:50.280 changes your medications change your plans change but the drawer stays closed that's why i like

00:44:56.080 chapter their advisors take time to look at your specific situation compare all the plans from the

00:45:01.820 insurers across the country and help you find the option that actually fits your needs they're not

00:45:06.600 paid to push one particular plan so their job is to help you make the right decision even if that

00:45:11.440 decision is to stay exactly where you are. They compare every single medical plan nationwide and

00:45:18.360 they save people in this audience an average of $1,100 a year in health care savings. That's more

00:45:24.840 than what Obama said Obamacare would save and that didn't work out. This does and the call is

00:45:30.760 completely free. It takes about 20 minutes. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250

00:45:36.300 Keyword chapter.

00:45:40.140 You know, my mom had a saying, a line that she would use on me when I was about 16 and

00:45:44.700 running around with, you know, kids that she didn't necessarily care for.

00:45:49.140 Son, show me your friends and I'll show you your future.

00:45:53.340 And I thought it was unfair then.

00:45:57.280 But I have to tell you, I think I've come to think of it as the single most reliable

00:46:01.300 political instrument I own.

00:46:03.580 And it doesn't need to pollster.

00:46:05.000 Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.

00:46:08.720 Michigan votes today, barring something nobody sees coming.

00:46:12.580 Abdul El-Sayed wins the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate, not by a hair.

00:46:19.540 The final Emerson survey had him up 15 points.

00:46:24.740 The prediction markets have him at 97 cents on the dollar.

00:46:29.260 Mallory McMorrow got out in July, mainly because his name is stupid.

00:46:36.320 Haley Stevens has the governor and the retiring senator

00:46:39.720 and something north of $60 million in outside money behind her.

00:46:44.160 More than $30 million of it from a single Israel-aligned group.

00:46:48.420 The most that group has ever spent on one race, and she's going to lose

00:46:51.700 because you cannot buy an election.

00:46:54.780 Oh, Israel's so powerful.

00:46:56.300 Why aren't they?

00:46:57.640 They got money in the election.

00:46:59.120 Why aren't they winning this one?

00:47:01.280 The more people try to, in the Democratic Party, try to make it so he cannot win, the stronger he becomes.

00:47:09.000 So let's look at the man who's about to win, and let's do it honestly.

00:47:13.380 He's not a lightweight, biology and political science at Michigan, Rhodes Scholar, a doctorate at Oxford, medical degree from Columbia.

00:47:23.040 Oh, he's going to be great.

00:47:25.340 He's going to be great, especially when it comes to things like, you know, pandemics.

00:47:29.660 Detroit's health commissioner in his early 30s, then health director for Wayne County.

00:47:33.880 He ran for governor in 2018.

00:47:36.100 He lost.

00:47:36.800 He came back.

00:47:37.960 He's a physician who has actually run public health departments during the years when he was running a public health department.

00:47:44.440 You know, when he was doing it, it was nobody's idea of a good time.

00:47:48.680 And he'll tell you plainly, I am not a socialist.

00:47:51.860 His words.

00:47:53.380 I'm not as, I do not believe I'm a socialist.

00:47:56.240 I believe in capitalism.

00:47:57.960 He told the Wall Street Journal, he's definitely not DSA.

00:48:01.540 Okay, fine.

00:48:02.420 Take him at his word.

00:48:03.560 Let's take him at his word through all the way through this.

00:48:07.740 Except my mother's voice.

00:48:10.580 Okay, maybe he's not a socialist.

00:48:12.740 But let's look at his friends and let's see his future.

00:48:16.880 Bernie Sanders endorsed him and flew out to Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids for him.

00:48:22.280 Okay, he is a socialist.

00:48:24.960 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cut an ad for him.

00:48:28.160 She is.

00:48:29.400 Every single member of the squad endorsed him.

00:48:31.980 Tlaib, Omar, Presley, Summer Lee, Ramirez, all of them.

00:48:37.300 Between 2017 and 2020, he spoke at six Democratic Socialist of America events.

00:48:43.000 So he hangs out with them an awful lot.

00:48:45.960 He headlined one of them, a fundraiser that raised $10,000 for the organization.

00:48:51.080 So I'm guessing that his headline speech, his keynote, wasn't like, you guys are wrong.

00:48:58.440 A Detroit chapter introduced him as a longtime friend.

00:49:02.220 Show me your friends.

00:49:04.540 In April, he took his campaign to two Michigan campuses with another friend, Hasan Piker.

00:49:10.980 You probably know the name by now.

00:49:13.200 The Twitch streamer who said in 2019 that America deserved 9-11, who got suspended for it,

00:49:19.460 and then called it satire afterwards, but all of his actions show it wasn't satire.

00:49:24.060 Michigan State President Board of Trustees put out a statement before the event was held

00:49:28.280 saying that comments attributed to the speaker the university had not invited

00:49:32.500 were causing pain among Jewish students.

00:49:35.120 The state news interviewed 13 students in the crowd.

00:49:37.540 Most of them said they came for Piker.

00:49:40.300 El-Sayed embraced him on stage and joked about the whole controversy.

00:49:45.300 Then last night, the final hours of the Senate campaign,

00:49:48.040 The hours a candidate spends where he most wants to be, he spent a content creator pool party, his time there, in Detroit.

00:49:58.080 Piker was there.

00:49:59.820 He wasn't ambushed by any of this.

00:50:02.600 And that's what I want you to hear.

00:50:03.860 Nobody tricked him.

00:50:05.760 You know, he was asked about it directly, and he defended it.

00:50:08.500 And his defense is a real one.

00:50:10.340 So let me give it to you.

00:50:11.300 if you're serious about reaching people who have quit on politics entirely you have to go where

00:50:17.620 those people actually are and those people young men under 30 the demographic every consultant in

00:50:23.880 both parties says is unreachable are on twitch and they're not at a rotary lunch a campaign that

00:50:30.780 only speaks in rooms where everybody already agrees isn't a campaign it's a support group

00:50:34.400 and you know what he's right about that he's also right about 60 million dollars of outside money

00:50:39.780 landing on your opponent heads makes your money out of politics message sounds less like a slogan

00:50:45.940 and more like a receipt. He's right. So he's not stupid. He's maybe not even lying to you.

00:50:52.600 Here's the problem. The label was never the thing. The room is the thing. A man's convictions tell you

00:51:01.800 what he intends. His friends tell you what he'll be able to do, what he's willing to do,

00:51:08.760 which brings me to we've been here before 1948 a man i bet 10 bucks most people have never thought

00:51:18.440 about even once maybe never even heard of henry wallace this was franklin roosevelt's vice

00:51:24.340 president third term before that he was the secretary of agriculture before that he was a

00:51:29.240 plant scientist who developed hybrid seed corn and quietly did more to feed the human race than

00:51:34.140 most people who have won medals for it. Decent man, brilliant guy, dropped from the ticket in

00:51:39.880 1944, fired from the cabinet in 1946 for saying, we should get along with the Soviets. What a

00:51:45.520 surprise. By 1948, he had had enough of Harry Truman and he ran for president himself on a

00:51:51.820 brand new third party. So when people asked Henry Wallace what he was, he said, I'm a progressive

00:51:59.000 capitalist. El Saeed. I'm a progressive capitalist. And he rejected the other word

00:52:07.340 flatly. Communist, socialist. Nope. Then the Communist Party of the United States endorsed

00:52:12.500 him. He didn't turn it down. Does any of this sound familiar? He didn't go looking for it either.

00:52:19.020 Understand, he didn't look for it. But when it arrived, he took the view that if a man wants

00:52:24.120 piece you don't ask him for his papers at the door so they came in they organized they filled

00:52:29.380 halls they filled seats on committees they wrote language you know into a platform and it worked

00:52:35.860 for a while late in 1947 polls had wallace over 20 percent of the american electorate by july 48

00:52:45.180 his convention finished up at scheib park in philadelphia big league baseball park 32 000

00:52:52.200 people in the stands to hear him accept election night. You know how much he got? 2.4%, fourth

00:53:01.160 place, behind the segregationalists. Now, that's the part that people know. Here's the part that

00:53:08.900 people don't know. Four years later, September 1952, Henry Wallace published an essay called

00:53:15.960 where I was wrong, okay?

00:53:19.220 He wrote that the biggest mistake

00:53:20.820 had been failing to denounce

00:53:22.900 the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia

00:53:24.960 in February of 1948,

00:53:26.820 five months before the ballpark.

00:53:29.200 He wrote that he had not accounted

00:53:31.040 for the ruthlessness of the Moscow-trained men.

00:53:34.320 He called Russian communism utterly evil.

00:53:39.060 But by the time he wrote it,

00:53:40.300 the party he had founded was no longer his.

00:53:43.480 He'd walked away in 1950.

00:53:44.700 The people who came in the door because they wanted peace were still there, still holding the gavel, and they ran their own ticket in 52.

00:53:51.620 They got 140,000 votes, and then the whole thing just fell apart.

00:53:55.820 The friends didn't cost Henry Wallace an election.

00:53:59.980 The friends kept building.

00:54:02.160 He was the front man.

00:54:04.000 He was the name on the sign.

00:54:06.080 He was sincere every day of it.

00:54:09.780 He was the last man in the country to figure out what the hell he was a part of.

00:54:15.620 It took him four years in a war in Korea to see what James Burnham could see from his magazine office in 1948.

00:54:24.760 Now, let me be exact about what this rule is and what it's not because it gets abused.

00:54:31.000 It's not whether a man's parent came from one place or another.

00:54:35.860 It's not about his name.

00:54:37.440 It's not about how he prays.

00:54:39.300 That's the opposite of the rule.

00:54:41.560 That's judging a man by the things he never chose.

00:54:44.860 I don't want part of that, and neither should you.

00:54:48.620 The rule is only about choices.

00:54:52.060 Who you call, who you stand next to on stage, on purpose,

00:54:56.880 whose crowd you borrow, because that's the crowd that shows up.

00:55:01.520 Every one of those is a decision a grown man makes with his eyes wide open,

00:55:06.240 and every one of them is on the record.

00:55:09.000 He made his.

00:55:11.340 Today, Michigan makes theirs.

00:55:15.280 If I'm honest, my mother's line was never really aimed at politicians.

00:55:19.280 She was aiming it at me in a driveway about a couple of guys with a motorcycle.

00:55:25.520 She wasn't telling me those boys were evil.

00:55:28.080 She was telling me that a person becomes the room he keeps walking into

00:55:32.960 and that he always, always is the last one to notice.

00:55:39.520 So ask it about the man on your ballot today.

00:55:42.000 This is not going to change a single vote.

00:55:44.100 But let's see how things play out in the general.

00:55:50.520 Because people need to see the friends you're surrounded by

00:55:53.780 and then do the hard thing and ask it about yourself.

00:55:57.940 Because my mom was right.

00:55:59.460 Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.

00:56:03.580 Good luck, Michigan.

00:56:05.220 All right, back in a minute.

00:56:06.420 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:56:07.900 Let me ask you a question.

00:56:08.600 have you ever been attacked by a ninja while a grizzly bear was mauling you at the exact same

00:56:14.860 moment a freight train ran you over it happened well it never happens but if you live with frequent

00:56:21.220 pain you're probably thinking yeah that sounds kind of like that's about right that's the thing

00:56:26.020 about pain it makes everything harder getting out of bed walking up the stairs carrying the groceries

00:56:30.700 You know, even sitting still can hurt.

00:56:34.880 I know what that's like.

00:56:37.840 I still have pain that is from my back, nerve pain that's just like so bad.

00:56:43.280 And it flares up from time to time.

00:56:44.840 I was walking down the stairs today, and I had a bowl of cereal with me.

00:56:48.060 And I thought, if my back seizes up right now,

00:56:50.700 I am going to fall face first with this stupid bowl of cereal,

00:56:53.460 and I'm going to have milk all over me and all over my face,

00:56:56.280 and then I'm going to be super pissed and in pain.

00:56:58.440 I don't like it.

00:56:59.940 relief factor has been there for me. It has made my pain so much better. My nerve pain,

00:57:07.600 it has not really touched, but all the other pain, I had pain so bad in my hands that I

00:57:13.580 couldn't hold a pencil. That's gone, like gone. Never a day with that. So if you're dealing with

00:57:20.680 a ninja, the bear on the train every single day, maybe it's time to see, I mean, what it can do

00:57:25.420 for you. I didn't think it would work for me. It worked miracles for me. Get three weeks for just

00:57:41.640 so do you actually own what you think you own because almost everything you have

00:58:01.920 now lives on somebody else's servers all of your books your newspapers your photographs

00:58:08.160 your court records, your kids' textbooks, your own family photos.

00:58:14.640 They're on somebody else's servers.

00:58:17.460 So what happens if someone or something decides that one of those digital assets

00:58:22.040 should no longer be available in its current form for you?

00:58:26.940 Tomorrow, I'm going to do a special after-show program.

00:58:31.140 I'm going to do a special hour and unpack this dystopian reality

00:58:36.220 that we are already living in, and nobody knows it.

00:58:39.820 1984 is right now, and it doesn't take an army of people to do it.

00:58:46.220 It is remarkable what's happening, and once you're aware of it,

00:58:50.280 your eyes will open, and you will change things you do in your life.

00:58:54.060 You will start paying attention to things.

00:58:55.860 You will start living in a different way.

00:59:00.980 You will, and it'll be a good thing, but you need to know.

00:59:04.260 And so tomorrow, 1984 is now, right after this program.

00:59:09.480 It'll be for insiders only, got the chalkboard and everything else.

00:59:13.080 It's something that you need to know and need to understand

00:59:16.860 and something we've been dealing with off and on in the news for the last two months.

00:59:21.860 And I'm tying all of it together so you will understand what's headed our way quickly.

00:59:27.400 Be somebody, you know, when you watch the news,

00:59:30.760 People get frustrated because they watch the news and they're like, when did this happen?

00:59:35.360 What is this?

00:59:36.000 This is new.

00:59:37.100 It's been building for a very long time.

00:59:39.500 And if you can see over the horizon, you can see what's coming your way, you don't panic, you don't freak out, and you can help others not freak out.

00:59:49.420 Because you already know tomorrow's news today on this program.

00:59:55.620 And we're going to do that tomorrow, right after the program, at noon Eastern time.

01:00:02.120 You have to be an insider, so join at glenbeck.com slash torch, glenbeck.com slash torch, become an insider, a torch insider now.

01:00:11.180 All kinds of things that are available, including the new lesson plan for amendment number nine.

01:00:19.420 amendment number nine is really just so great amendment nine may be my favorite

01:00:27.320 and our founders were so brilliant you know they put the bill of rights together which

01:00:32.240 basically says no matter what anybody says no matter what you're going to think in 20 years

01:00:37.440 or 200 years government does not have the right to do these things you will never ever ever do

01:00:44.860 these things it's it's really it's the law for the government it's the handcuffs on our government

01:00:51.140 and the government and everybody else and that wants power encourages us to forget about the

01:00:57.940 bill of rights but it's the one thing that sets america apart nobody other no other nation has

01:01:02.500 this and amendment nine is okay we've got down all of these rights and then one of our founders

01:01:09.220 was so brilliant they were like you know what let's write down that these aren't the only rights

01:01:15.180 let's make sure that just because we didn't list them here doesn't mean that the people don't have

01:01:20.180 other rights that the government can't ever touch that's what amendment nine means um you know it's

01:01:27.680 like your parents gave you a toolbox and they point out the hammer and the screwdriver and the

01:01:32.040 wrench just because they didn't mention the pliers doesn't mean the pliers aren't in the toolbox the

01:01:36.840 pliers are in the toolbox and they're yours. Your parents gave them to you so you can use them and

01:01:41.500 nobody else can touch them unless you want to lend them out, but you demand them back. Okay.

01:01:47.280 So ninth amendment says there are other rights in the toolbox beside the ones specifically listed.

01:01:55.900 This right now, we are having a debate and especially with socialists that healthcare is a

01:02:01.260 right no when amendment nine makes it very very clear no that's that's not a right that's not a

01:02:10.580 right why isn't it a right if i have time today let me see if i have time uh yeah i think i'm doing

01:02:19.800 it yeah i'm doing it i think next hour uh or am i doing it next hang on just a second i'm sorry

01:02:27.400 I think I'm actually doing it.

01:02:31.520 I'll do it next.

01:02:33.260 I'll go into Amendment 9 and how to win that argument.

01:02:38.020 Because right now we're having an argument that parents don't have rights.

01:02:43.940 There's no such thing.

01:02:44.980 Parents belong to all of us, all of society.

01:02:47.900 No, they don't.

01:02:48.900 I mean, children.

01:02:49.580 Children don't belong to all society.

01:02:51.060 They belong to their parents.

01:02:52.400 And parents have rights.

01:02:55.140 Amendment 9.

01:02:56.300 Well, we need the right to health care.

01:02:59.100 Well, no, Amendment 9.

01:03:00.760 You don't have that right.

01:03:02.980 What? How?

01:03:05.040 I'll explain it coming up in just a second.

01:03:06.920 And this is all in the lesson plan, and you're going to be able to get it,

01:03:09.380 including a song, a snappy little number that is really a pop hit

01:03:15.220 about Amendment 9.

01:03:17.960 And I wrote these so you can play them for your kids.

01:03:22.120 You can give them to your grandkids or you can give them to neighbor kids,

01:03:25.080 whoever, anybody, and share them. And the idea is, I learned this from Schoolhouse Rock,

01:03:31.160 conjunction, junction, what's your function? I know how a bill, I know how bill becomes law

01:03:36.020 because of those songs. And so I wrote a song for each of the 10 amendments that will just drill

01:03:43.760 into your kids' heads, and they'll be able to sing along with it. And if they like them,

01:03:49.460 they'll listen to them over and over and over again, and they'll know all the amendments,

01:03:52.140 things that we didn't know. You must know the Bill of Rights. So, how do we argue that health

01:03:59.560 care is not a right? How do we argue that, no, kids don't belong to everybody, they belong to

01:04:06.240 the parents? How do we argue that with the Ninth Amendment? We'll go there in just a minute.

01:04:28.560 They don't see the early mornings, the late nights, the paychecks that you skip so your

01:05:48.720 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:06:08.780 We have been doing these songs and these lesson plans for you and your kids or, you know, your grandkids or whomever you have in your life.

01:06:19.860 Maybe even you.

01:06:20.680 Honestly, our staff has learned so much just by going over these and using the lesson plans themselves and preparing them for you.

01:06:28.760 It's the best thing about being a teacher.

01:06:31.020 The best teachers are learning themselves and then they're excited to share it.

01:06:36.020 And we're so excited to share all these.

01:06:37.500 We're up to the second to the last one, number nine.

01:06:41.740 In case you don't know what number nine is, well, here, can we play the song?

01:06:45.700 Play the song.

01:06:46.580 This is what Amendment number nine does.

01:06:49.740 Just because it's not written down doesn't mean it's not around.

01:06:54.620 Doesn't mean it's not in force.

01:06:56.960 Doesn't mean it's not still yours.

01:06:59.640 Something's lit between the lines.

01:07:01.920 That's the point of them tonight.

01:07:03.980 I don't need everything spelled out.

01:07:06.600 Don't need it written down

01:07:09.520 So just because it's not written down

01:07:13.720 doesn't mean it doesn't exist, okay?

01:07:15.440 Now remember, this is to tell the people what,

01:07:21.220 or sorry, this is to tell the government

01:07:23.580 what rights the people have

01:07:26.380 that you're never allowed to touch, okay?

01:07:28.800 You're never allowed to touch the guns of the people.

01:07:31.820 They have a right to those, and it's not to be infringed.

01:07:34.180 You have a right to free speech.

01:07:36.600 You have a right to all of these things, and these are shields against interference.

01:07:43.560 They are not vouchers that you turn in so you can speak, so you can have a gun.

01:07:49.700 They're not vouchers.

01:07:50.900 They're shields.

01:07:52.420 That's really important.

01:07:54.740 There's a difference between a shield and a voucher or a claim check, okay?

01:08:02.120 Imagine you have the right to free speech, which you do.

01:08:04.420 that means the government cannot gag you cannot jail you for criticizing the government or force

01:08:11.360 you to mouth its slogans but that's what's been happening lately you have to go along and the

01:08:18.220 government isn't passing laws because they know it would immediately be overturned so what they've

01:08:22.000 done is they've gotten into bed with public private partnerships with media companies

01:08:26.760 and they've put pressure on people hey don't say anything about the hunter biden laptop

01:08:32.800 because of xyz and they go along with it okay they they can't

01:08:39.760 they can't compel you to do things however just because you have a right to free press doesn't

01:08:47.760 mean the government has to buy you a printing press or give you free airtime on any network

01:08:52.560 or compel a private newspaper to publish your op-ed that's on you it's a shield not a voucher

01:09:00.480 The moment speech becomes claim on other people's resources, listen to this carefully because this is it.

01:09:06.520 Once it becomes a claim on other people's resources, it stops becoming a right and it becomes a forced transfer.

01:09:16.200 Healthcare and housing works exactly the same way.

01:09:20.140 A right to free housing would mean the government can take the carpenter's time, the landlord's building, the taxpayer's wages, and deliver them to somebody else.

01:09:30.480 That's not a retained right.

01:09:32.320 What is that?

01:09:33.560 That's a political decision to redistribute wealth.

01:09:39.540 The Ninth Amendment was never meant to constitutionalize redistribution.

01:09:46.860 Let's talk about parental rights here for a second.

01:09:49.060 Because these are the things that we're talking about.

01:09:50.900 Free housing, free health care.

01:09:52.480 You don't have a right to that.

01:09:54.440 Because that forces the government to do something to other people.

01:09:59.140 Now let's look at, it takes a village.

01:10:01.420 We should all parent each other's kids.

01:10:06.320 There is no such thing as parental rights.

01:10:08.640 Parents have a deep pre-political right to raise their own children,

01:10:13.480 to decide their education, their moral formation,

01:10:16.860 their medical care within obvious limits of abuse and things like that.

01:10:21.180 Courts have recognized this for a century plus

01:10:24.280 because it's the kind of right that the ninth amendment protects something that people retain

01:10:31.700 and never surrender to majorities or bureaucrats now let's suppose that there's 51 percent of the

01:10:40.120 village that decides the village should raise all children and that parents can't teach certain

01:10:46.660 religious or political views or the state has to seize children whose parents refuse a political

01:10:51.060 curriculum or medical protocol. 51% voted for it. We set it up to the people. The people decided.

01:10:59.580 No, the vote does not create a new constitutional power. The parental right still stands as a

01:11:08.180 barrier. That is the point of enumerated rights retained by the people. They limit even what a

01:11:16.460 Democratic majority may do. Free housing doesn't have this kind of character. No one retained a

01:11:24.380 right to live in somebody else's house for free. No founding era American would have recognized a

01:11:31.480 claim as a natural right. This brings me to something else. I wrote this down earlier when

01:11:37.740 I was thinking about this, or did I? Yeah. There is, you know, in our declaration, which you have

01:11:45.380 to understand the declaration is the precursor to this. That is the owner's manual. I'm sorry.

01:11:49.520 That is the motto. That is the mission statement of our country. All men are created equal,

01:11:56.060 endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. It's what we're going to create.

01:11:59.960 And then the constitution is the owner's manual. It's how to build that. Okay. You take away the

01:12:05.520 mission statement and that constitution will build a lot of other things that do not resemble

01:12:10.780 the Declaration of Independence and our mission statement.

01:12:13.960 So it's vital that you have the mission statement there.

01:12:17.700 In it, it talks about nature's law and nature's God,

01:12:22.920 that you have rights from nature's law and nature's God.

01:12:27.920 And they put those in there for a reason.

01:12:31.480 You have a natural right, if you can observe it in nature,

01:12:36.100 if it's happening in nature,

01:12:38.160 then you know that's natural law the animals are doing it i can do it okay well wait a minute wait

01:12:47.160 a minute we know that animals we know that i've seen bulls you know they don't care they don't

01:12:53.600 care if it's male or female they don't care okay so i have a i have a right to that this is a really

01:12:59.320 horrible example because this is all just moral and so but it's it's a clear example of nature's

01:13:07.120 law, nature's God. So nature would say it's happening in nature, but nature's God has higher

01:13:16.800 standards. So we first look to nature. Is it in nature? Yes. So I have a natural right.

01:13:24.620 Does nature's God say, no, don't do those things because of these moral conditions?

01:13:32.780 So you have to weigh both of them.

01:13:34.860 So when we say we're a Christian nation, Judeo-Christian nation, that's kind of what we mean.

01:13:41.960 It doesn't mean church.

01:13:43.540 You have to go to church or anything else.

01:13:45.160 It means we look to certain Judeo-Christian principles that say, no, there is a limit on these things.

01:13:55.940 Abortion is another one.

01:13:57.260 There is no example in nature of, you know, a lioness throwing herself down the stairs, you know, to abort her cub.

01:14:08.520 There's no doctor, there's no lion doctor that they go to to abort.

01:14:12.980 Okay, so it's not happening in nature.

01:14:15.740 However, they eat their young sometimes.

01:14:18.840 They abandon their young.

01:14:20.360 They abandon the weakest.

01:14:22.640 So don't I have a right to abandon the weakest?

01:14:25.240 No.

01:14:25.600 Yes, it happens with nature, nature, but nature's God says, don't do that.

01:14:33.520 We are better than the animals, okay?

01:14:36.640 We have more responsibility than the animals.

01:14:40.760 So that's your first test.

01:14:43.840 Then you get down to, is this a receipt?

01:14:49.200 Am I just turning in a ticket to claim my rights?

01:14:53.980 No, you have your right. So does the majority have a right to create free housing or free

01:15:00.340 health care? No. A majority can pass a law that taxes citizens, that builds public housing or

01:15:06.460 subsidizes rent. That's ordinary legislation. But it can also be repealed by a later majority.

01:15:13.500 So that doesn't make it. It's not a right. It's not a right. It's legislation. It doesn't become

01:15:18.860 a constitutional right that courts must enforce against future legislatures, and it does not

01:15:25.360 override the property rights of people whose money or land might be taken. If majority vote

01:15:32.040 could manufacture new constitutional rights of this kind, then the majority vote would also

01:15:36.480 manufacture a right to free speech suppression, or a right to confiscate firearms, or a right to

01:15:43.920 seize children from parents who refuse to say whatever it is the mob says you have to say.

01:15:51.780 The whole point of a written constitution with a Bill of Rights, including the Ninth Amendment,

01:15:57.940 is that some things are placed beyond ordinary majority control.

01:16:04.460 That is what keeps a country together, because if it's only majority with nothing else,

01:16:11.600 they will take your land. They will take what you own. They will take whatever is popular at the

01:16:17.820 time. They will do. The Constitution sets limits on that, so you never go too far one way or the

01:16:26.180 other. The framers understood the difference between liberty and spoils. Liberty is what

01:16:32.540 you keep even when the majority dislikes it. What are spoils? What are spoils? Spoils are what the

01:16:42.300 majority can temporarily award itself by taking it from the minority. You think of spoils from

01:16:48.180 war. You go in, you conquer a people, you take whatever they have. That's not liberty, that's

01:16:54.560 spoils. Healthcare and housing as positive entitlements belong in the second category of

01:17:01.780 spoils. Parental authority belongs in the first. The Ninth Amendment was written to protect the

01:17:08.220 first, not to constitutionalize spoils. That doesn't mean that you can't do it. You can find

01:17:15.440 a way. It doesn't mean you have to be heartless. And the reason why we are having so many problems

01:17:21.500 in this country is because we don't know who we are. We don't know what the rules are. This is

01:17:27.920 like we're we're baseball teams that are going out um and none of us know the rules none of us

01:17:35.300 know the rules and we just look to nine guys in the crowd and we're like can he do that is that

01:17:41.780 all right well yeah five of them say yeah four of them say absolutely not well if we don't know

01:17:51.840 the rules we don't learn the rules we have no desire to learn the rules we're just like okay

01:17:56.240 well, five of them said we could. Well, why did the four say no? What do they know that we don't

01:18:02.300 know? This is our job. I was talking yesterday about police officers. 1828. 1828 is when London

01:18:13.820 got its first police officer. Before that, it was the community. If somebody was robbing somebody,

01:18:21.340 all the neighbors, if they saw something, it was their job to stop and get that person,

01:18:29.120 bring them so they could go to court, and then return the money to the person they stole it from.

01:18:36.000 And if they saw it and could stop it, and they didn't, it was on them. It was on them.

01:18:43.960 They were just as bad. They were like an accomplice. They were just as bad.

01:18:47.240 but as we grew bigger and bigger and bigger we realized we don't have time to police everything

01:18:54.180 we don't have time to do that job so we lent people in our own community the power to do that

01:19:01.260 for us now we look at that power police officers and we're like yeah well they can i don't know

01:19:06.820 what they can do well can you do it can you do it is it constitutional can you do it can you go over

01:19:16.560 if you were in a neighborhood and somebody moves in and you got an HOA and everybody in the

01:19:22.840 neighborhood decides, you know, that guy just moved in. Do you know how rich he is? Look at

01:19:26.320 him. Look at the cars he drives. Look at his house. Look at the way they dress. They've got

01:19:30.600 money coming out of their ears. We don't have that kind of money. You know what? His HOA fee,

01:19:37.220 make it four times what we're paying. Can they vote to do that?

01:19:41.900 can they vote to say you know what go just take his car bill i'm hiring you you go take his car

01:19:50.240 all of us in the neighborhood say you have the right go take his car and then park it in bill

01:19:54.600 you know in steve's garage no he don't have the right if you don't have the right to do it the

01:20:01.640 police don't have the right to do it if you don't have the right to do it the government doesn't

01:20:05.120 have the right to do it because they all come from you you're loaning now that doesn't mean

01:20:10.760 you can go and build a jail in your own house because I have a right to do that. No, no, no,

01:20:15.620 no. It's kind of like nature's God and nature. There are higher ideals. There are higher things.

01:20:22.400 And we have decided as a community, we are not going to personally jail. We are going to take

01:20:28.500 our vote. We're going to vote in a new system. We're going to take our money and we're going

01:20:33.100 to pay for that system and they're going to build jails. And so that's the way it works.

01:20:36.680 You don't like it, change people's minds, and have them vote it out.

01:20:43.320 But it all stems on you have the right, and that's what Amendment No. 9 actually does.

01:20:49.060 It says, just because it's not written down here doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

01:20:53.340 All the people have all of the rights, all of them, and government cannot touch them.

01:20:59.360 You can get this lesson plan and the songs and everything for the first nine amendments.

01:21:04.120 Next week will be the last one.

01:21:05.540 It's not too late to start.

01:21:06.680 get all of the amendments, learn about them, teach them to yourselves and others. It's a

01:21:11.080 great way to learn and a fun way in America's 250. Just go to, um, what is it? 250 torch or

01:21:17.660 summer of two 50 tour. What is the address? You know, torch two 50. Is that right? Torch two 50.com

01:21:23.180 torch two 50.com, or you can go to glenbeck.com slash torch, become a member and learn all this.

01:21:29.140 It feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days.

01:21:33.620 I mean, you've probably heard about all of that by now.

01:21:35.440 There are a lot of commercials pretty much running around the clock.

01:21:38.460 These results can be dramatic, but for a lot of people, you know,

01:21:41.740 giving themselves a shot every week is suboptimal, you know,

01:21:44.660 along with the potential side effects.

01:21:46.760 It's not something that's really appealing to a lot of people.

01:21:49.600 It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose weight, but, you know,

01:21:54.460 do you really want to go that far?

01:21:55.660 Do you really want to use that?

01:21:56.640 Do you want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen?

01:21:59.260 Some people love that.

01:22:00.280 Some people are real needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say.

01:22:04.620 So the real question comes to you when you say, if I want to keep losing weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight loss, would I take a different approach?

01:22:14.100 And that's where Lean comes in.

01:22:15.480 Lean is a weight loss supplement developed by doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition for people who feel stuck, especially those who have maybe 10 or more pounds to lose, can't seem to get past that plateau.

01:22:59.120 Cozy Earth is our sponsor.

01:23:00.660 Your body is smarter than you are.

01:23:02.340 It knows when it's time to sleep.

01:23:03.760 It knows when it's time to wake up.

01:23:05.360 The problem is, wow, it's like Santa.

01:23:07.340 The problem is we have a remarkable talent for getting in its way.

01:23:10.960 We stay up too late.

01:23:11.940 We stare at our screens.

01:23:12.940 We keep the room too warm.

01:23:14.520 Then we wonder why we don't feel rested when we wake up.

01:23:17.380 One of the things scientists have learned is that your body actually sleeps better when it stays cooler.

01:23:22.220 That's one of the reasons I'm such a fan of Cozy Earth.

01:23:25.100 Their premium sheets are made from incredible material,

01:23:28.620 which works naturally to wick away the moisture while you're sleeping

01:23:32.680 because it'll help you sleep several degrees cooler, which puts you to sleep, okay?

01:23:37.060 That means fewer night sweats, better sleep, a bed that feels comfortable all night long.

01:23:41.040 They're so confident you're going to love them.

01:23:42.660 They're going to give you a 100-night sleep trial.

01:24:04.600 Glenn Beck.

01:24:21.140 you know

01:24:27.860 so much of our world is common sense just all based on common sense and i think

01:24:36.480 we have dismissed that and i want to take a look at that i'm talking about the ninth amendment

01:24:41.920 got me thinking about my mother and the things my mother used to tell me all the common sense

01:24:46.820 things that we learned as kids. They're still valid. Let me explain next.

01:25:00.200 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies,

01:25:05.000 the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work

01:25:10.000 tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight

01:25:15.260 going. We need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

01:25:20.700 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through

01:25:25.240 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.

01:25:30.860 This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,

01:25:35.620 you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.

01:25:41.060 Together, we'll make a difference.

01:25:43.160 And thanks for standing with us.

01:25:44.440 Now let's get to work.

01:25:45.820 Turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads

01:25:51.040 telling you something different about Medicare, and most of it just makes things more confusing.

01:25:55.420 But because this is not a small decision, it's your health care, you need to know you can see the right doctors,

01:26:01.180 you need to get the care that you have to have, and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit your life.

01:26:06.820 This is where Chapter comes in.

01:26:08.600 They don't just hand you options. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, and they help you find a plan that actually works for you.

01:26:16.680 Over the last year, they have helped people in this audience save $1.5 million just by finding better-fitting plans.

01:26:23.840 And it's really sometimes not even about the money. I heard about a guy named Mark. Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed.

01:26:30.480 He said they were absolutely spectacular. So give them a call. The call is free.

01:26:34.760 They've helped thousands in my audience, and they can help you too.

01:26:38.380 Dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

01:26:40.480 It's pound 250, keyword chapter.

01:27:04.760 Pass it on

01:27:07.500 Crank the game

01:27:10.020 Glenn Beck is on

01:27:12.520 Glenn Beck is on

01:27:14.820 Na na na na

01:27:16.720 Na na na na

01:27:22.000 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment

01:27:30.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:39.480 Today, with Michigan voting, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my mom saying the words,

01:27:45.260 show me your friends and I'll show you your future.

01:27:48.040 And Michigan's about to find this out.

01:27:51.380 In fact, the whole country is in many ways.

01:27:53.680 Hopefully, we don't have to go too far down the road before we really figure it out that we don't want those friends.

01:28:00.540 This was a mistake.

01:28:02.380 We just thought we were all in this together because we were all mad about something.

01:28:05.760 And we don't want to live that lifestyle.

01:28:08.680 Iran, we have called off the strikes.

01:28:10.960 One of the reasons why the president said yesterday is somebody is leaking.

01:28:14.980 Somebody leaked our plans for this strike to Iran.

01:28:20.320 We better figure that one out.

01:28:22.180 Where's the honor system?

01:28:23.500 And that, speaking of honor, now looks like Politico was saying that our elections are safe.

01:28:30.540 There's no way anybody can, you know, vote, you know, in the elections.

01:28:34.120 And now they come out and say, well, actually, it's all built on the honor system.

01:28:38.140 There is no such thing as honor anymore.

01:28:40.320 And it makes me think, you know, my mom, my dad, my grandparents, they had the answer to all of these things.

01:28:47.000 And we didn't listen.

01:28:47.900 We rejected them.

01:28:49.600 And now, as I get older, I'm starting to think, that's the answer to all of our problems.

01:28:56.380 I'll explain here in 60 seconds.

01:28:58.020 First, let me tell you about Z Factor.

01:28:59.720 Human beings have been around for a very long time.

01:29:01.660 And in that time, we built cities, we've crossed oceans, we've learned to fly, we've split the atom, we've walked on the moon.

01:29:08.100 We carry more computing in our pocket right now than entire governments used to have.

01:29:13.620 And yet somehow we've managed to create a world where millions of people can't get a good night's sleep.

01:29:18.740 Strikes you as odd a little bit.

01:29:20.020 All of that technology, all of our progress, and we've made one of the most basic things the human body needs harder to do.

01:29:26.660 So I'm a factor of, that's why I'm a fan of Z Factor from Relief Factor.

01:29:32.680 It's designed to help you get the kind of deep, restful sleep that your body was made for.

01:29:37.420 Sometimes the answer for a modern problem is helping your body do something it's known how to do since the very beginning.

01:29:43.360 Give Z Factor a try right now.

01:29:45.060 Save 46% on your first order.

01:29:53.400 Better sleep, better days with Z-Factor from Relief Factor.

01:30:02.120 Somewhere in the back of my mind, there is still a screen door, especially at this time of year, that slams at the front door.

01:30:13.760 Wood frame, spring on hinges, pap.

01:30:17.840 And it's right around dusk, and the streetlights have come on.

01:30:20.980 and somewhere down the block

01:30:23.200 there is a mom standing on a porch

01:30:26.180 with a dish towel in her hand

01:30:27.660 calling a name into the dark.

01:30:33.040 That was the clock.

01:30:36.860 Nobody had a phone.

01:30:37.840 We all just knew.

01:30:42.720 I've been thinking a lot

01:30:43.900 in the last few days

01:30:45.220 about how much of what we actually use,

01:30:49.480 not what I know, but what I use, didn't come from a book or a class

01:30:55.000 or a man on the stage with a microphone or some boob like me.

01:30:59.240 It came from people who said it so many times.

01:31:03.240 It stopped sounding like advice and started sounding like weather, you know?

01:31:07.640 Shut the door. We're not paying to air condition the whole neighborhood.

01:31:11.840 Turn off the light. Money doesn't grow on trees.

01:31:15.700 Because I said so.

01:31:17.920 If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump true?

01:31:21.660 This is the one that, there was a body count on this one.

01:31:25.000 I'm not mad.

01:31:27.500 I'm disappointed.

01:31:28.860 Oh my gosh.

01:31:31.880 You've made your bed, now lie in it.

01:31:35.380 Nothing good happens after midnight.

01:31:39.260 Finish what you start.

01:31:42.380 Wear a coat or catch your death.

01:31:45.340 Eat it.

01:31:46.620 Do you know how many children would be grateful for that place?

01:31:49.360 Do you know how many starving children there are in wherever?

01:31:54.540 It's funny because we heard them so often that we quit hearing them at all.

01:32:01.080 You know, they were background noise.

01:32:02.360 They were the hum of the refrigerator.

01:32:04.580 And you could have recited every single one of them at nine years old.

01:32:08.980 And you also, as a nine-year-old, would have said, none of these apply to me.

01:32:13.460 And then you're 15 and it gets worse.

01:32:15.820 Because now they're not just noise, they're an insult, you know?

01:32:18.940 Now every one of them is proof that they don't understand.

01:32:22.740 Grandpa says, use it up, wear it out, or make do, or do without.

01:32:27.220 And you're thinking, they make new ones.

01:32:28.880 You can get them at the store all the time.

01:32:31.440 Grandma would say, pretty is, is pretty does.

01:32:34.320 And you're thinking, grandma, that's not how high school works, okay?

01:32:40.360 Your dad tells you, look a man in the eye, give him a firm handshake.

01:32:43.720 and you think, that's a costume.

01:32:46.560 Some old ritual thing that they do.

01:32:51.760 Your mom tells you, write a thank you note.

01:32:56.220 Not a text, write it out.

01:32:59.020 Stamp it, put it in the mail.

01:33:01.200 And you'd rather do almost anything else than that.

01:33:04.640 And then you leave, you move out.

01:33:07.340 And here's what nobody tells you about leaving.

01:33:11.460 It doesn't feel like freedom for very long.

01:33:14.380 Feels like freedom for about six weeks.

01:33:16.580 And then you get the apartment with the bad carpet

01:33:19.360 and the neighbor who's up at two,

01:33:21.340 and you find out that all those rules

01:33:23.060 you were straining against were also load-bearing.

01:33:27.760 And you take them out one by one,

01:33:30.200 and the whole thing sags.

01:33:34.400 You're 23 and you get the flat tire

01:33:36.360 or the bad diagnosis for somebody that you love,

01:33:39.220 or you get fired,

01:33:40.140 or the person you were sure was the one

01:33:43.560 is suddenly not sure about you.

01:33:46.760 And you're sitting on the floor of a place

01:33:49.540 that doesn't feel like home.

01:33:51.200 It's one in the morning.

01:33:53.080 And out of nowhere, your mother's voice

01:33:56.140 comes up through the floorboards and says,

01:33:59.500 it'll look better in the morning.

01:34:03.800 And you want to argue with it, but you can't.

01:34:07.100 Because she was right.

01:34:10.140 Damn, she was right the whole time.

01:34:13.400 It actually does look better in the morning.

01:34:15.540 Not fixed, but better.

01:34:20.020 And mom never explained the mechanism to you.

01:34:22.560 She never cited a study.

01:34:24.640 She just said it every time you cried.

01:34:27.400 And then one night when she wasn't there,

01:34:30.700 it showed up and did the job anyway.

01:34:40.140 Somewhere along the way, we decided that wasn't enough.

01:34:47.960 It just wasn't enough.

01:34:50.500 That because I said so was primitive.

01:34:53.220 We needed a philosophy behind it.

01:34:55.340 So we went and we got one, several actually.

01:34:58.180 And we got the experts.

01:35:01.000 And I'm not against experts.

01:35:02.920 I want a real one flying my plane and, you know, cutting on my knee.

01:35:06.900 but we took people who had never met our child never sat at our table never watched that kid

01:35:13.760 at four o'clock in the morning with a fever and we let them tell us how to raise them

01:35:18.260 we sat down all of the stuff our grandma and our mothers knew because it didn't come with

01:35:24.220 footnotes what did they know say please say thank you say i'm sorry and mean the second half

01:35:35.180 Do it right the first time.

01:35:38.380 Leave it better than you found it.

01:35:41.420 Your word is your bond.

01:35:44.540 Which is the whole legal system in what, five syllables?

01:35:48.700 Nobody owes you anything.

01:35:52.140 Hard work never killed anybody.

01:35:55.340 Show up early.

01:35:56.500 Go outside.

01:35:58.740 You're not tired, you're bored.

01:36:00.620 every one of those is a load-bearing wall

01:36:06.400 and we knocked them all out

01:36:09.220 to open up the floor plan

01:36:10.960 because that's what we wanted

01:36:12.360 and then one day

01:36:15.180 and this is the day

01:36:18.660 this is the one I remember

01:36:19.840 one day you're standing in your own kitchen

01:36:22.800 and your own kid does something

01:36:24.380 and you open your mouth

01:36:26.680 and your father comes out

01:36:29.040 word for word, same cadence, same pause before it,

01:36:34.280 the exact same sentence you swore

01:36:36.460 and everything you would never say to a child of yours.

01:36:40.500 And there's that half a second

01:36:42.000 where you're absolutely horrified.

01:36:43.700 I've just become my father.

01:36:48.560 And then there's that half second after that

01:36:51.240 where you realize, my God, my dad was right.

01:36:56.140 This is true.

01:36:57.240 It's always been true.

01:36:59.500 He wasn't being lazy.

01:37:01.240 It's just the truth.

01:37:06.080 He'd gotten so far down the road

01:37:08.000 to know that some things

01:37:09.880 don't have a longer version.

01:37:12.840 It's just it.

01:37:17.520 I've been thinking about phrases.

01:37:19.880 I said earlier today,

01:37:21.320 I think the best political advice

01:37:24.120 my mom ever gave me was,

01:37:26.840 show me your friends

01:37:27.920 and I'll show you your future.

01:37:29.640 That's what the Democrats are learning right now.

01:37:32.100 It's my mom.

01:37:34.280 I could put that into paragraph after paragraph, monologue after monologue.

01:37:38.300 Heck, I have for the last 20 years.

01:37:40.980 Been saying the same things.

01:37:41.800 I should have just said that.

01:37:42.980 Show me your friends, I'll show you your future.

01:37:45.120 Because that's where they are.

01:37:49.100 I don't think our problem is that we said those things to our kids too much.

01:37:59.040 I wonder if I've barely said them at all.

01:38:06.820 I think there's a whole generation

01:38:08.500 that never got to finish what you start

01:38:13.700 when you said it to them a million times

01:38:16.140 so it isn't in the floorboards anymore

01:38:18.220 because every parent isn't saying these things anymore.

01:38:21.980 There's nothing coming up through the wood

01:38:24.060 at one in the morning

01:38:25.000 when they're on the carpet in a bad apartment.

01:38:29.040 and then i think gosh do i even say these things to myself

01:38:37.460 i tell my kids all the time nobody's thinking about you as much as you're thinking about you

01:38:45.040 and then i'll spend the whole afternoon convinced everybody's thinking about me

01:38:48.640 i'll tell them it's not as bad as it looks tonight it'll be better in the morning and

01:38:54.880 then i'll lie there at three o'clock in the morning like a man who's never heard of morning

01:38:58.800 I'll tell them that their word is their bond

01:39:02.160 and then I break a promise

01:39:04.140 that I made to myself last week

01:39:06.200 go to bed

01:39:16.820 close your eyes

01:39:19.880 go to sleep

01:39:20.420 call your mother

01:39:23.920 drink some water

01:39:25.080 say you're sorry first

01:39:26.800 this too shall pass

01:39:29.660 and then the other half

01:39:30.720 that nobody ever quotes

01:39:32.640 which is the good part

01:39:33.980 passes too

01:39:35.200 so pay attention

01:39:36.620 we knew

01:39:41.540 all of this stuff

01:39:43.320 by the time we were nine

01:39:44.360 and we spent so much time

01:39:48.860 rejecting it

01:39:49.780 I think maybe we should

01:39:55.640 consider going back

01:39:56.600 to some of those things.

01:40:00.480 We knew them at nine

01:40:01.600 and most of us

01:40:02.180 are still trying to learn it.

01:40:05.000 But we want to hear it

01:40:05.980 from an expert.

01:40:06.800 Why?

01:40:12.360 Come inside now.

01:40:14.220 It's getting dark.

01:40:20.120 More in a minute.

01:40:21.840 Not every dangerous situation

01:40:23.320 is the same.

01:40:24.360 Some of them

01:40:25.080 are absolutely called for lethal force.

01:40:27.600 And as an American, you have every right

01:40:29.460 to own that kind of tool and defend yourself

01:40:31.380 and your family.

01:40:32.060 If your life is on the line, you bet,

01:40:33.560 I'm shooting you in the head.

01:40:35.100 But not every threat meets that standard.

01:40:37.700 Sometimes it's an aggressive stranger

01:40:40.000 who hasn't yet become a deadly one.

01:40:42.060 Sometimes it's a person who's out of control,

01:40:43.980 but not armed.

01:40:45.300 Sometimes you don't need to take a life.

01:40:47.160 You just need to stop a threat.

01:40:49.080 That's why I'm a fan of the burn and launcher.

01:40:50.540 It gives you a powerful non-lethal option

01:40:53.120 that can stop an attacker

01:40:54.780 from up to 60 feet away using high-speed chemical irritant projectiles.

01:40:59.840 It's legal in all 50 states.

01:41:01.240 It's now trusted by hundreds and hundreds of law enforcement agencies.

01:41:04.840 It's designed for those moments when you need to protect yourself

01:41:07.440 without using deadly force.

01:41:11.000 Self-defense isn't just about having a tool that will get the job done.

01:41:13.860 It's about having the right tool that will fit the situation you find yourself in.

01:41:18.600 Most times, it'll be a Burna launcher.

01:41:20.780 Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com.

01:41:22.460 Find the right launcher for your family.

01:41:24.240 It's Byrna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com.

01:41:28.020 10 seconds, station ID.

01:41:40.560 You know, while we're here, you know, you just can't fake it.

01:41:45.840 You just can't fake it.

01:41:49.460 Trying to think what my mom would say about Tallarico.

01:41:52.800 I mean, my mom, your mom, everybody's mom would know fraud immediately.

01:41:58.540 If that were a friend and he started coming around and he had no Texas accent

01:42:03.860 and all of a sudden he was like, well, howdy, ma'am, how are you?

01:42:07.340 She'd be like, what the hell's wrong with your friend?

01:42:09.600 What's Jimmy doing?

01:42:12.000 I don't know, mom.

01:42:13.160 He's trying to suck up to a girl that he really likes.

01:42:16.600 She's from Texas, and so now he's all Texan.

01:42:18.900 She's like, tell him it won't work.

01:42:20.960 Jimmy, stop it.

01:42:22.460 knock it off i think that's what my mom would say because he has gone all texan he is now

01:42:30.360 lower tax he's doing everything he is sounding like a republican remember this is the guy who

01:42:36.560 was like only eat tofu i only eat to now he's like give me some more barbecue ribs i gotta have me

01:42:42.740 some more ribs out of y'all it's like where did you get the draw from jimmy what what was happening

01:42:49.400 here so from the makers of uh thune the ballless rhino which by the way i have to say i have to

01:43:00.560 you know i always say i lead with my mistakes and i have to leave i because i did something about

01:43:04.280 selfie uh cunningham you know and the women's basketball and women's sports and i i just have

01:43:10.600 to say i came out and said you know no men in women's sports i i was wrong i think john thune

01:43:17.520 could play in the WNBA.

01:43:20.500 I'm just saying.

01:43:21.480 I think he could.

01:43:22.960 I think he could.

01:43:24.300 But anyway, back to Tal Rico.

01:43:26.340 So we made a song for good old Jimmy.

01:43:31.120 He was just like us.

01:43:32.420 He drives a truck, man.

01:43:33.960 He's just out Friday night lights.

01:43:35.540 I'm just watching me some football.

01:43:37.860 Here's a little song for little Jimmy Tal Rico.

01:43:47.520 My daddy read the good book

01:43:56.040 And my truck's a Chevrolet

01:43:59.200 I've been cutting taxes

01:44:02.540 Since I woke up yesterday

01:44:05.200 I'm just a good old boy

01:44:08.820 Apostrophe and all

01:44:11.160 Took the G off working

01:44:15.020 And I hung it on the wall

01:44:18.160 Got a flag out on the porch

01:44:22.040 And a flag up on the shed

01:44:25.140 And a third one that I salute

01:44:28.120 Before I go to bed

01:44:31.380 It's Tallarico, Texas

01:44:34.380 Where the brisket's made of peas

01:44:37.600 Where we honor all our soldiers

01:44:40.660 And we identify as trees

01:44:43.640 I love my gal, my dog, my truck, my whiskey and my lord

01:44:49.900 Just don't go asking what I said in 2024

01:44:55.680 It's Tallarico, Texas, where the stars still spell my name

01:45:02.340 Where a red, white, blue illusion rides a purple party flame

01:45:08.460 I'm the son of every slogan

01:45:11.180 On a tailgate in this town

01:45:14.820 Sing it bigger, sing it louder

01:45:17.900 Boys, we ain't backing down

01:45:21.060 I filmed a little something out in Los Angeles

01:45:27.200 Twenty Texas voters in an oatmeal court to Dito

01:45:33.320 I told them God ain't he or she might be a they or them

01:45:39.520 Then I hollered Friday night lights boys and bolted for the van

01:45:45.780 That's a van, not a truck, but it's a real big van

01:45:53.480 And on a Texas kind of highway, well a van's a kind of man

01:45:59.660 It's Tallarico, Texas

01:46:02.800 Where the briskets made a piece

01:46:06.060 Where we honor all our soldiers

01:46:09.080 And we identify as trees

01:46:12.080 I love my gal, my dog, my truck

01:46:15.180 My whiskey and my lord

01:46:18.320 Just don't go asking what I said in 2024

01:46:24.060 It's Tallarico, Texas

01:46:27.640 Crank that choir to the sky

01:46:30.740 Let the steel guitar be weeping

01:46:33.900 While the fireparks all fly

01:46:37.100 I'm the patron saint of the pivot

01:46:40.320 Bless this long star alibi

01:46:43.240 And if you catch me in the mirror

01:47:19.780 buying it at all i what i what i worry about just in the tal rico election in paxton is literally

01:47:26.820 the cornyn voters it sounds like they are so i don't know spiteful or angry that they're willing

01:47:33.200 to let a guy like tallarico win in this election which makes no sense to me none well you know what

01:47:40.920 let me tell you cornyn voters we'll sure learn our lesson and you'll be standing over there

01:47:45.800 that won't affect you at all and you'll be like i told you so what the hell is wrong with you

01:47:51.040 What is wrong with you?

01:47:53.900 I mean, you know, it's really, really important.

01:47:59.300 Every election, it gets more and more important to get out and vote.

01:48:05.560 We are in the fight for our nation's life, and it is only getting more clearer.

01:48:11.180 These guys, I mean, you know, maybe I could understand this 2004, even 2014.

01:48:16.820 Not today. Not today.

01:48:18.680 All right, more in just a second.

01:48:19.960 Let me tell you about the International Fellowship.

01:48:21.600 This past week in Jerusalem, staff members from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

01:48:25.760 spent time working on a project that your generosity helped support.

01:48:30.740 It's called the Chen Elderly Housing Complex.

01:48:34.660 They rolled up their sleeves.

01:48:35.900 They helped deliver meals to elderly residents.

01:48:38.580 And over 200 seniors live at the Chen Complex.

01:48:41.460 And many of them aren't even able to leave their rooms.

01:48:44.620 The daily meal deliveries are not a convenience.

01:48:47.420 They're a lifeline.

01:48:48.380 One of the women they visited was Bella.

01:48:50.320 She lives there all by herself.

01:48:52.460 She looked at the people bringing the food, and she said,

01:48:54.300 I am so grateful for what you're doing.

01:48:56.060 Thank you for not forgetting us.

01:48:58.380 I'm so excited that you came to see me.

01:49:00.800 Thank you. God bless you.

01:49:02.720 These people really are in dire need.

01:49:06.300 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does this.

01:49:08.940 They remember.

01:49:09.520 They don't just send a check.

01:49:10.780 They show up.

01:49:11.660 They're there.

01:49:12.800 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,

01:49:15.020 at least in praying for people of Israel,

01:49:16.840 For protection, peace, and strength, and for lasting peace,

01:49:20.280 we can remind God's people that they are not alone.

01:49:23.400 Visit PrayIFCJ.org.

01:49:25.560 That's PrayIFCJ.org.

01:49:31.320 Don't just read history.

01:49:33.420 Experience it with the American Story Series at GlennBeck.com slash torch.

01:49:46.840 it's unbelievable

01:50:07.020 absolutely

01:50:08.780 unbelievable

01:50:11.740 you know this whole

01:50:15.820 this whole grocery store thing this is just a debacle just a debacle these guys have no idea

01:50:21.420 what they're doing what a surprise wait a minute you mean the guy who was a blogger before and

01:50:27.740 living in his mom and dad's house behind gates uh and then he did i think he did a music video

01:50:34.380 that guy doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to building grocery store chains what

01:50:39.500 so they've come out and they're like okay so how are you going to stop fraud are you gonna stop

01:50:45.320 fraud? You know, not that fraud seems to concern anybody, except I think the average person.

01:50:54.520 How are you going to stop fraud? Because if you're selling things at 30% cheaper,

01:50:58.440 here's what's going to happen because it's just people, okay? If I don't have to show an ID,

01:51:04.440 if I don't have to be on a list, if I don't have to prove that I need it, whatever, that I even

01:51:10.240 live there, I'm going to go into that grocery store. I'm going to, let's say I'm going to be

01:51:14.020 a guy who lives, you know, just down the street and I own a bodega and I can go in without being

01:51:20.360 checked or anything else. I'm going to go buy, send me and my crew in. We're all just going to

01:51:24.640 go buy up as many of those groceries as we possibly can. And then I'm going to bring them

01:51:28.560 to my bodega and I'm going to mark them up 25%. I'll undercut my, my other, uh, you know, rivals

01:51:35.500 in the supermarket business, but I'll have it. I'll, I'll, I'll make, you know, 25%. I'm saving

01:51:43.400 the customer five percent i've just taken that 25 25 from the city but what they don't care they're

01:51:51.020 not checking so i'm just doing it okay there's no law against any of that is there not yet i don't

01:51:57.400 think they better make one and how are they going to check well they're saying that they're not going

01:52:03.080 to they're not going to check well kind of they're going to check mom donnie could not even answer

01:52:07.940 the question. Jason, pull in that clip you just played here a minute ago for the Torch Insiders.

01:52:15.660 How are you going to keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically? And is there

01:52:22.480 going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level

01:52:26.420 from that essential basket? So our RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to

01:52:32.360 be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through

01:52:36.700 reselling. I'm going to pass it over to our EDC head, J-PAC, to add some additional details.

01:52:42.220 Yes, if you look at our RFP for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New

01:52:48.000 Yorkers, whether it be a sort of a library card-esque, and also we manage who's buying

01:52:53.140 and that it's focused on everyday New Yorkers. So we are mindful of that, and so we're going

01:52:59.340 to make sure that we have all the things in place to make sure that that does not happen.

01:53:03.340 i'm sure i'm oh i'm sorry i was just why it's like they're talking to first graders so i thought i

01:53:10.860 should get my goldfish out and just eat my first grade food what the hell's wrong with you what

01:53:17.280 you're gonna put out a library card do you need a license or any kind of identification to get a

01:53:22.620 library card the answer yes my favorite part like a library card my favorite part glenn is how she

01:53:30.460 just said it so fast yeah so it's just going to be a library card that's kidding but we're going

01:53:35.820 to make sure it works yeah okay all right so so you're asking for id okay well that makes sense

01:53:42.660 because you have to know think of this concept you have to know who's coming in are they qualified

01:53:48.840 to buy the stuff in your store it's a little like voting but i don't want to confuse it with

01:53:54.900 second grade stuff. So they're going to do a library card. Well, I don't know why they hate

01:54:01.520 women so much because married women, you're not going to be able to do it because maybe you've

01:54:05.640 changed your name and you don't have birth certificate or any other form of ID whatsoever

01:54:10.180 that could prove who you are. So what they said when they asked about the library card,

01:54:16.440 who was it? The Post asked about this? Yeah, New York Post. And what did they say?

01:54:20.120 so they said oh actually it's not going to be like a library card it's more going to be like

01:54:24.980 a savings card program like if you go to alberson's or tom thumb or something like that

01:54:29.760 quick clarification there

01:54:31.400 so like a costco card

01:54:37.240 which i have to say which i have to sign up for and they have to know who i am

01:54:43.740 because they just don't hand them out of the door i don't have a costco card oh well here's one

01:54:48.740 they don't do it that way or like an albertson's card where you have to sign up for i'm sorry these

01:54:55.320 goldfish are delicious well we're talking in about 10 more minutes i'm going to roll carpet

01:55:00.480 out and get a little juice box i'm gonna take a little nappy nap the interesting thing how are

01:55:06.320 these people yeah they said they're not going to check residents because that was the big sticking

01:55:11.220 point that they just completely flip-flopped as soon as we started killing them on social media

01:55:15.040 over this so if you're if for your savings card program if you're not going to check residency

01:55:19.220 why even have a card at all because you can come from texas and just say yeah i live in new york

01:55:25.260 give me my discount card there's no proof that you don't live in new york city what's the even

01:55:30.720 point of this see that this is the incredible thing they know they're being hypocrites that's

01:55:36.860 why they immediately went we can't do the library card thing uh just make it like an albertson's

01:55:41.120 card well that won't really work either because well just let's just check are they are they from

01:55:45.960 new york no we can't check because then again you're saying i mean they they know they're

01:55:51.600 looking hypocritical and they know it doesn't work if you don't have some system in place

01:55:59.220 to make sure otherwise everybody will just come in from everywhere and they'll buy those 25 or 30

01:56:04.520 products that are 30 off and they'll leave and some of them will go and resell them some of them

01:56:10.440 are going to take the food from New Yorkers

01:56:12.680 and they'll be from New Jersey

01:56:13.640 and they happen to be in the city all the time.

01:56:15.680 So why not stop by the grocery?

01:56:16.920 Hey, stop by the grocery store and get that 30% meat.

01:56:19.640 That's 30% off.

01:56:20.740 Go get that meat.

01:56:22.040 I'll go do the grocery shopping for everything else.

01:56:24.100 And the whole system fails.

01:56:26.140 This is the, you have to be able to have some common sense.

01:56:33.660 You have to have a system that works.

01:56:36.340 This is why communism and socialism always fails.

01:56:40.440 Because once you apply common sense to it and you're being held to it, well, it's got to be a success.

01:56:48.000 So, okay, well, yeah, well, we're going to do that, just not that.

01:56:53.220 Well, then what?

01:56:54.440 Then how are you going to make that happen?

01:56:56.460 Well, we're going to come up with something that's better than anything anybody has ever come up with before to check ID, except we're not going to check ID.

01:57:06.920 Oh, okay.

01:57:08.860 these people are just boobs they're just boobs and again i don't i really don't get it i don't

01:57:17.580 understand how more people can't see you know here's the good thing i think people are beginning

01:57:23.300 to i think they're beginning to and we're in the primaries now and so who votes in the primaries

01:57:28.280 i'm because i learned this because of the tea party well the tea party they're just all electing

01:57:33.940 what they're doing is they're going out and they're rallying around all these extremists

01:57:37.860 and these extremists are never going to win in the general.

01:57:43.800 They're just never going to win

01:57:45.040 because people need the moderates in the general.

01:57:48.580 Oh, okay.

01:57:50.160 Well, you don't have any moderates.

01:57:52.940 Once a communist, always a communist.

01:57:55.640 Once a socialist that says,

01:57:57.920 I want to get rid of the Senate and the Supreme Court,

01:58:01.020 that kind of sticks with you.

01:58:03.100 You know, have a hard time clawing that one back.

01:58:07.860 now let's just see if americans are still awake enough to go yeah that doesn't make any sense

01:58:12.780 because this doesn't make any sense this just doesn't make any sense does it

01:58:18.020 um jason let's uh quick in the few minutes that we have left would you quick give me an update on

01:58:26.100 what the hell is happening with who's who's leaking the pentagon is leaking somebody in

01:58:31.560 the pentagon is it well what's happening our our war plan this was said by the president yesterday

01:58:36.680 um and the president was having a press conference and he was going to say he said

01:58:43.540 that what's coming next will be the biggest bombing campaign since world war ii that's

01:58:51.260 pretty significant uh he said it will decapitate well don't use that word unless you actually are

01:58:57.620 mean it and it's going to happen i don't think it will but um so he said we had to call it off

01:59:04.000 because Saudi Arabia asked us to call it off.

01:59:06.860 And some of the Oman and everybody else asked us to call it off,

01:59:10.840 give it more time for a little bit more peace.

01:59:13.480 But then I hear that, because he said it,

01:59:17.060 and also somebody leaked our plans.

01:59:19.540 What? Wait, what?

01:59:20.860 Can you say that again?

01:59:21.940 What happened?

01:59:24.240 Yeah, the president said that he was,

01:59:26.580 they were looking at one of the, just as you said,

01:59:28.100 one of their largest strikes on Iran.

01:59:30.160 And most of the news went towards the Iranians going back to the president, supposedly calling the president and saying, begging him to do a deal.

01:59:39.480 So he halted those strikes.

01:59:41.220 But then he also said that one of the reasons why they came to him begging for a deal is because they had every single detail about these military strikes that were about to happen.

01:59:50.780 So somebody leaked something.

01:59:52.960 And I don't think this is getting enough news because we don't know who the president didn't go further into that.

01:59:58.620 So we don't know if it's someone suspected within the administration, within our government, military, or if it's foreign.

02:00:06.180 If this was from one of the Gulf Kingdoms, for instance, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, places like that.

02:00:12.960 Saudi Arabia has been lobbying the president not to attack.

02:00:16.940 And that's been all over the media lately.

02:00:19.260 So they're against us on this.

02:00:21.460 So whoever did this leak needs to be dealt with in some way.

02:00:26.380 And it goes far beyond even this.

02:00:28.620 We've been hearing for weeks now that all these different sources, they're saying sources say that we are critically low on air defense interceptors.

02:00:39.040 And Reuters today said the U.S. has used virtually all of its long-range precision missiles during the Iran war.

02:00:46.260 How is this information getting out?

02:00:48.300 This should be top secret information.

02:00:50.500 Something smells very, very badly.

02:00:52.700 Let me take a break and I want to ask your opinion as a service member, what you think of this. Senior officials at the U.S. military command carrying out Donald Trump's war in Iran came in an email. It said, we need ideas.

02:01:10.000 I'm going to read this email to you, and I would love your opinion on this, because it sings to me, but I think it also signals something to others that don't understand out-of-the-box thinking.

02:01:22.860 That is not good.

02:01:24.060 Did you read this email, Jason?

02:01:30.320 Jason, can you hear me?

02:01:31.480 Did you read that email?

02:01:32.740 I did.

02:01:33.620 It doesn't sound out of the ordinary to me.

02:01:40.380 The ordinary thing sounds like it's actually getting out.

02:01:45.220 Let me read it to you and see what you think.

02:01:49.160 We'll do that in 60 seconds.

02:01:50.480 First, most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water.

02:01:55.880 You turn the faucet on, you fill a glass, and you assume it's fine.

02:01:58.780 And it's been that way all of our lives, right?

02:02:00.480 Right?

02:02:01.100 Right?

02:02:02.360 Well, when you were a kid, you didn't even think about filling your glass from the tap

02:02:07.320 with water.

02:02:07.940 Of course not.

02:02:08.560 And maybe you haven't as an adult either.

02:02:10.240 But there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine?

02:02:12.340 That is a common agricultural pesticide.

02:02:15.080 There are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals with this stuff, and it's known

02:02:19.100 to run off into water sources.

02:02:21.940 There's fluoride that the government puts into water, of course, for teeth.

02:02:26.000 But do you want that?

02:02:27.380 Do you not want it?

02:02:28.180 Do you want to take it out?

02:02:29.100 You can.

02:02:29.980 That's why many people are turning to Cove Pure.

02:03:18.440 paid for by super sure insurance agency llc a licensed insurance agency all right one of the

02:03:28.340 funniest things about a business is that it is never really finished as long as it's running.

02:03:32.740 You build it and then you're just done, right? No, you're always tuning it. You're hiring,

02:03:38.160 you're expanding, you're fixing, you're adapting. Every year, it's a little different than it was

02:03:41.540 the year before, except for one thing. Too often, insurance stays exactly the same. And that's a

02:03:46.660 problem because the business that you're protecting today may not be the business the policy was

02:03:50.560 written for two years ago. That's why I like SuperSure. They take time to understand how

02:04:46.300 More Glenn Beck, next.

02:05:16.300 All right, so I want to go back to what we were talking about, the situation with Iran.

02:05:30.380 The president has come out and, or sorry, a memo has been released where it says, and it went out to the military, we are looking for new ideas.

02:05:41.860 basically if anybody has any good ideas that are you know out of the box on how we can defeat iran

02:05:49.220 email it call me and i think this is really quite brilliant myself i think you know how many times

02:05:58.200 have you been in a company where like we can fix this thing we can fix this thing we all know but

02:06:03.900 will they ask us nope so i don't know exactly who this email went to jason did it go to

02:06:11.280 who did it go to did it go far enough down the chain um no it's just in the upper level

02:06:18.500 i i don't know who it went to uh yeah i don't have any information on that and but has this

02:06:24.340 happened before are we do is this do we do this all the time this i mean i i i i've never been

02:06:31.560 at that level so i would assume that happens at that level but i i you know kind of look back on

02:06:37.300 like, you know, how commanders place a lot of, I guess, emphasis on small unit tactics and letting

02:06:45.400 the, you know, NCOs innovate. And they make a lot of, you know, command decisions on the infantry

02:06:52.180 level, at the base level. And they rely on the people with the experience to, you know, to do

02:06:58.100 things. That's what makes our military so great. And I see this as just kind of like at a macro

02:07:03.000 level, them doing the same thing. I don't think that it's out of the ordinary. But if you're

02:07:06.900 looking at a situation where iran is is attacking ships in the strait of hormuz we are doing strikes

02:07:13.200 on different positions to try and stop them from doing that they're looking into from what some

02:07:17.860 people have said and looking into also doing a ground or a a ground blockade which is one of the

02:07:24.040 proposed uh tactics that they might switch to you're gonna want to want lots of opinions on

02:07:29.120 how to pull that off um so i that's all i see on this uh i see them probably already having a plan

02:07:35.580 in place, but just seeing if some of their

02:07:37.680 other experts within all levels of the

02:07:39.620 military have something more to contribute

02:07:41.640 than they're open to it. That's all I see

02:07:43.640 that is. Yeah, personally, I

02:07:45.660 don't have a problem with it, but it just see, I've never

02:07:47.740 read that before, and so it stuck out to me.

02:07:50.340 One last thing, we don't have

02:07:51.600 much time to talk about this. Maybe we'll get into it

02:07:53.580 tomorrow. Minnesota,

02:07:56.000 Michigan, South Dakota

02:07:57.360 have,

02:08:00.220 we now know that

02:08:01.660 Iran has tried to hack

02:08:03.660 into their water systems.

02:08:05.580 You know, Iran is not a primitive society, and they can hack in.

02:08:11.980 And apparently, the federal government has said, expect more.

02:08:15.940 They hack into our water systems.

02:08:18.960 That's a whole different universe that we're in right now.

02:08:22.720 And I don't think people really understand how dangerous this situation is.

02:08:27.980 And by the way, Minnesota and Michigan, South Dakota,

02:08:33.360 I guess these are just the states that either haven't updated yet

02:08:37.760 or won't follow the Homeland Security advice to change and upgrade your system.

02:08:43.660 They're easy to hack, and Iran is trying.

02:08:47.360 More on this tomorrow. May God save the republic.

02:08:57.980 We'll be right back.
