All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
00:00:11.660
Every day, the decisions that you make, send a message, the food you buy, the shows you watch,
00:00:16.020
even the phone company that, you know, you pay every month.
00:00:18.740
Because most people don't even think about that.
00:00:20.600
But every time you pay that bill, you're funding somebody's agenda.
00:00:24.380
Sometimes it's an agenda that just doesn't line up with all of your values, you know, or any of them.
00:00:31.720
It's America's only Christian conservative wireless provider built by people who still believe in faith and family and freedom.
00:00:37.680
And they use the same strong nationwide network as major carriers.
00:00:41.240
So you're getting the same great service without sending your money to companies that actively oppose what you believe.
00:00:49.920
It is taking control of your choices, your conviction.

America, sometimes I just feel like I should listen to you.
00:03:06.640
And we can get into whatever topic you want to talk about.
00:03:18.660
What are the big stories that you feel we need to talk about?
00:03:27.560
We'll take some phone calls here in just a second.
00:03:30.020
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:03:33.340
You ever wonder what your dog thinks when you pour the same dry kibble into the bowl every single day?
00:03:38.100
He stares at it, sniffs it, and then looks up at you, right?
00:03:41.360
He eats it because he has to, not because he loves it.
00:03:43.460
And, you know, if you ate the same processed stuff every single day, you'd lose your spark, too.
00:03:56.660
It's a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle on your dog's food.
00:03:59.640
And it's packed with natural vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and the enzymes.
00:04:03.880
It's like turning a dead meal into a living one.
00:04:07.460
Shinier coat, better energy, healthier digestion,
00:04:10.040
and the old puppy spark that makes you smile every time you walk into the room.
00:04:16.240
And family deserves better than a bag of preservatives.
00:04:32.360
If your dog could talk, he'd say thank you, I guess.
00:04:36.300
I mean, I'd be freaked out if my dog was talking.
00:04:40.760
Last night, I'd crawl into bed and Tanya's scrolling through.
00:04:58.420
And, you know, so I've seen the Northern Lights before.
00:05:01.540
And they are remarkable and amazing and everything else.
00:05:05.220
But I'm captivated by how many people, I mean, the whole world, it seems, stopped to look up yesterday.
00:05:24.500
It's just this rippling band of color on the horizon dancing like, I don't know, like God's painting the sky.
00:05:45.260
And I don't think it's because most of us haven't seen it.
00:05:53.860
Is it possibly because we've forgotten how to look up?
00:06:00.480
When's the last time you sat around a campfire?
00:06:06.200
And I mean a campfire, you know, you're in your place where there's no light pollution.
00:06:12.180
When was the last time you were sitting in a place where there was no light pollution?
00:06:19.160
You know, when we're sitting around a campfire, we kind of look up.
00:06:37.920
And if we don't look up, we don't really have that conversation.
00:06:45.700
And lately, you know, we live under the sky of.
00:06:50.280
Noise and screens and deadlines and digital light.
00:06:53.720
And maybe people were looking up yesterday because it's just suddenly you're you look up and you're like, oh, my gosh.
00:07:11.660
And something inside of us wakes up for just a moment.
00:07:21.980
Today, as I look at, you know, it's trending on X today, trending everywhere.
00:07:36.620
It's a reminder that wonder still exists outside the algorithm.
00:07:45.400
There's still things that man can't make that A.I. can't code and no influencer can sell.
00:08:12.580
I didn't want to start the show in any other way other than just mentioning the magic that still is there.
00:08:38.980
I've got two kids, a five-year-old and a three-year-old.
00:08:43.260
And, you know, my wife and I decided very, very quickly after having kids that we were going to go against the mold.
00:08:52.820
You see, and I don't want to judge any other parents, but, you know, you see all these kids.
00:08:58.920
These kids have, you know, just mind-numbing devices.
00:09:03.580
Even the toys, even the basic toddler toys are just mind-numbing these days.
00:09:07.780
And, you know, we decided as soon as we became parents, we didn't want to raise our kids like that.
00:09:13.020
I mean, my son was screen-free for, oh gosh, three years before we, you know, kind of gave in a little bit.
00:09:21.080
But, you know, just after watching Charlie Kirk a couple months ago, you know, and all that that happened, I just decided to take a bigger role as a father and as a husband, you know, as far as raising these kids.
00:09:36.380
And, you know, we've decided to homeschool and, you know, obviously Texas makes it a lot easier to do that kind of stuff.
00:09:42.700
I know it's not as easy in other states, but, you know, just trying to take that, you know, example forward.
00:09:50.860
And, you know, I'm not a leader of some super PAC.
00:09:53.880
I'm not a leader of some, you know, political, you know, group, but I am a leader of my own family.
00:10:05.380
And I just, I also wanted to say just a lot of that, sure, Charlie spurred that on, but I want you to know I've been listening to you since I was probably 16 years old in high school.
00:10:15.360
I mean, you were the main reason I kind of discovered that your word is your bond, you know, and you are nothing without you and who you are and your word.
00:10:44.660
I had the honor of being in the room for your first EPAC speech when you wrote on that chalkboard way back in the deep progressivism.
00:10:51.140
Remember when the, when the, when the, everybody in the front row walked out, remember I said there are progressives, there are progressives and they're right here in this room.
00:11:01.980
And the whole front row, you know, Bill Crystal and everybody got up and walked out.
00:11:08.700
Glenn, Glenn, I got up and I walked out of Newt Gingrich's speech.
00:11:15.840
Anyway, I'm, I'm, I'm calling in today because, because like Dennis said, Charlie Kirk is, has changed the world for the better and for ever.
00:11:26.200
I have a 17 year old son who is engaged to be married.
00:11:33.900
And he wants to go off and, and following Charlie Kirk steps.
00:11:40.380
So I had the privilege and honor of taking both of my teenage boys to see Charlie Kirk, uh, at Legacy Church 30 days to the day before he was assassinated.
00:11:51.440
They were doing nothing but talking to me about Charlie.
00:11:58.020
And then now they're like, mom, I know who Charlie was.
00:12:02.580
And it's just, I'm, but I'm scared about, you know, sending them out on the path.
00:12:09.100
I'm, I'm never going to say no to my children, but you know, we're walking into places where people just sitting at a table saying, prove me wrong to get you killed.
00:12:28.880
I mean, you know, look, we freak out about our kids all the time.
00:12:39.440
And that's what we do as, you know, as parents.
00:12:42.360
And it, you know, I, I don't know why I believed this, but I just thought, you know, I don't know when they turn 18, you know, you kind of like, you've done your part and they're like on their own life.
00:12:51.660
And you're back to now, now you're worried about them even more.
00:12:57.480
Um, uh, but you know, if your son has, if you have instilled principles in your son, uh, and he has good role models, does he have a good role model of a dad or a husband?
00:13:12.180
Um, I, I'm divorced and his father, no, is actually a piece of crap.
00:13:20.360
Um, make sure he finds one, make sure you help him find and point out, you know, what a good husband is really like, what a good, um, you know, what a good father is actually like.
00:13:34.520
I mean, if he reads the Bible, I mean, I, I didn't really get this until, I don't know, you know, my third child, um, but reading the scriptures.
00:13:43.640
And if you really understand God, you understand how to be a good dad because he's the best dad there is.
00:14:07.140
He is full of, he is full of, uh, clarity, but forgiveness.
00:14:16.460
And, uh, you know, you know how to punish your kids.
00:14:21.240
If you know, God, he doesn't, he doesn't let you escape the punishment.
00:14:30.340
Anyway, I, I, I just make sure he has a good role model because if he doesn't, he's going
00:14:37.200
to be, you know, especially guys, we spend our whole life chasing our dad.
00:14:45.200
Um, we want somebody, our dads to say, good job.
00:14:55.720
And if he doesn't have a dad in his life, where is he going to get it?
00:14:59.760
And, and how is he expected to be the man of the house?
00:15:04.580
If he didn't have a good man in the house, he's got to find a good role model and, and
00:15:11.660
learn everything he can from that, that role model.
00:15:20.300

00:16:37.060
Let me go to, uh, let me take Steve in Ohio, since we're talking about Charlie Kirk.
00:16:51.480
Um, my rabbi always told, my rabbi once told me, he says it all the time.
00:16:56.180
Something good will come of this when there's something bad and to make a joke, but it's true.
00:17:01.400
So 9-11, because of 9-11, we got you on the air over a different person, radio personality nationally.
00:17:12.660
The reason why I'm calling, uh, I have a, I'm a father of five, ages 32 to eight.
00:17:18.300
Not that that matters, but my daughter in sixth grade came home from school the other day,
00:17:23.180
She was given an assignment for her honors writing class to, uh, research using an AI engine
00:17:31.760
that the school provides through their, uh, online curriculum that she's supposed to research
00:17:37.680
a historical figure and then do a report, an essay.
00:17:43.080
So she told me she was upset because when she came from school, she could not get any information
00:17:54.420
I was amazed, uh, that, uh, he had such an influence on her.
00:17:59.980
So I looked, she, I had her show me what she was getting and she typed in, uh, I'd like
00:18:04.740
to do a report on Charlie Kirk and the engine kicked back.
00:18:08.060
You may want to pick a person of more historical significance.
00:18:23.300
We still watched his, his, his funeral because it was such a major thing.
00:18:32.140
So I typed in some additional information into the, her, uh, query and it pulled up some,
00:18:39.160
uh, information for her to click on and go to some sources that she could take some notes
00:18:46.100
After she did the first one, she went back to the search.
00:18:52.880
The engine had cleared it out and said, pick somebody else.
00:18:59.480
Uh, I don't know what it's called and she's at school.
00:19:03.820
Uh, so she's got her Chromebook at school, but it was some sort of, yeah, I actually do
00:19:10.020
me a favor now for your site and put it in there.
00:19:16.380
I want you to talk to one of the producers and, um, they'll give you a number and you
00:19:23.620
If it's a school thing, I mean, you know, look, AI engines there, they are going to give
00:19:31.920
And, you know, one of the things I've been watching on Grok, Grok is really getting really
00:19:38.900
Uh, I, you know, once in a while I'll just Google who's Glenn Beck.
00:19:43.760
And, you know, I, I get all kinds of stuff back.
00:19:46.560
Uh, Grok is the first one that says, well, some people might think that he's an extremist,
00:19:54.340
Um, you know, he seems to be constitutional and more libertarian leaning.
00:20:00.740
I mean, it is the most balanced that I have seen.
00:20:04.780
Um, and that, that comes from, you know, Elon Musk saying truth is the most important thing.
00:20:15.000
If we don't pay attention and we don't stop things like that, that, that has to be stopped.
00:20:20.700
Who are they to, to do that in school and public education?
00:20:29.940
Um, but, uh, you know, these AI engines are being built.
00:20:35.060
And if you say diversity is number one, DEI is number one, a fairness is number one.
00:20:48.160
And so when you are building an AI engine, you have to be extraordinarily careful.
00:20:54.140
And that is why, you know, I respect Grok and Elon Musk, because the most important is the truth.
00:21:11.880
And once you start putting filters on those things, then it's not a search engine.
00:21:23.260
It's making you into the tool it or whoever programmed wants you to be.
00:21:29.260
So I, uh, you know, if, if, uh, I'd love to know what that search engine is, who, who is behind it.
00:21:36.120
Uh, if that is a Ohio school thing, it should be stopped immediately.
00:21:41.420
Um, you know, cause that's just, that's just so dangerous.
00:21:48.860
Let me go to, uh, let me go Steve in North Carolina.
00:21:57.620
Uh, first I want to thank you for, uh, tipping me off years and years ago about Bitcoin.
00:22:05.080
I knew nothing about Bitcoin, but listening to your show, I, I learned about it and I bought
00:22:11.060
it when it was in the 300s, somewhere in the 300s.
00:22:16.520
And then later on you, uh, I got another tip from you about gold.
00:22:20.760
You're, uh, one of your sponsors, uh, uh, uh, glint.
00:22:25.100
Well, I gotta, I gotta tell you, I'm Steve, you can send, you know, a gift my way.
00:22:37.740
Um, well, um, I was wondering if you remember back in Barack Obama days, I think, especially
00:22:53.660
I, I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, but, uh, I believe that's Antifa.
00:23:03.900
Um, but there is, there is a large army, uh, out there and they're in the schools, you
00:23:12.160
know, in the, at the universities that they don't necessarily have to be, you know, black
00:23:17.760
clad, but if you want a real army that will do the tough things, Antifa is probably the
00:23:28.440
There's a special kind of quiet that comes this time of year world outside slows down.
00:23:34.640
The air gets colder and it starts to feel like sanctuary again.
00:23:38.420
It's where you recharge and reflect and wrap yourself in things that last.

00:24:48.120
It's available at glenbeck.com and it's every story we talk about every day.
00:25:10.220
Today's the day I really kind of want to turn the show over to you and hear what you want
00:25:14.600
to talk about so I can get a handle on, on where you are and you know, uh, uh, a bit
00:25:24.060
And we've got a lot to talk about, but I'd like to hear from you 888-727-BECK.
00:25:29.460
And you can talk to us about anything on your mind, anything we covered, haven't covered,
00:25:33.360
or you'd like clarity on just call us 888-727-BECK from New Jersey.
00:25:50.440
Um, yeah, I am worried that we are headed towards a, another French revolution style because we
00:25:58.700
have entire generations are actually people just not being heard by the representatives.
00:26:08.620
Um, I, uh, actually I had scheduled for this time.
00:26:13.940
I'll just do it some other time, uh, talking about what's happening in, in England.
00:26:18.460
I think England, uh, is headed for a civil war and, and, and it's very close.
00:26:25.820
I mean, you can't put 4,000 people, 4,000 people in jail or try them for hate crimes and
00:26:36.900
You can't do that in one year and expect people to just put up with it.
00:26:41.900
You can't, you know, we're, we're, America doesn't understand yet.
00:26:49.900
I don't know when it becomes a hot war or even a war that we on our side recognize, but we
00:26:56.900
are in world war three and that, that foe is not China.
00:27:05.520
And, you know, when, when we have a situation to where people are, uh, when the government
00:27:24.780
Don't, don't tell me what, uh, what the problems are not because we're the ones living it.
00:27:31.480
You're the experts who keep telling us, no, it's going to work out fine.
00:27:45.340
If we do this with a Ukraine, it'll work out fine.
00:27:56.440
Listen to the people and start, start talking to the people.
00:28:00.620
Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today.
00:28:10.820
So I stay, um, focused and, and clear on what America is saying.
00:28:18.140
Because I don't think, look, you know, me taking phone calls is, is not a true representation
00:28:25.280
of anything, but it does give me a sense of, of where you are as an audience, maybe not
00:28:34.880
And there are lots of things that concern me, but I want to hear it from you, but I think
00:28:45.240
Um, all you need is, uh, real economic trouble.
00:28:50.100
You start getting real true economic trouble, 1930s kind of depression stuff.
00:29:08.880
I guess it's been over 10 years since I've had a chance to talk with you.
00:29:11.720
I, I, if I was one of your first insiders, I'd been listening to you since you were in
00:29:18.240
Uh, so it's been, it's been a long, yeah, it's been, and I can't, I can't say I've enjoyed
00:29:30.800
Well, I, you know, you were, you were talking, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing
00:29:37.200
And I remember those old shows and, you know, the, the, the, the fusion of entertainment,
00:29:45.320
And there was, there was a lot more entertainment.
00:30:05.560
I, I, I love my job for you and married for, been married for 55 years.
00:30:15.340
I've got a daughter who's, who's in her forties and she has severe TDS.
00:30:22.480
Uh, she, we, we don't, I mean, we're not cutting each other off.
00:30:30.180
We're still very close as a family, but she was down visiting the other day.
00:30:35.500
And got into a conversation with my wife and, and I wasn't in the room, but Kathy said,
00:30:43.020
it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being
00:30:49.180
And she was, and then she was in tears about it.
00:30:55.260
And I, I mean, I love her and I continue to support her.
00:31:04.200
And I, I really think that's part of the problem because she started reading back when Trump
00:31:11.160
was first running, she started reading, uh, uh, all of this stuff about him being misogynistic
00:31:23.600
I really am because I, I, I think I see the country doing better.
00:31:29.280
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I still feel like at least right now we're,
00:31:34.920
we're doing, we're doing better as a whole, but what am I, what do we do?
00:31:40.440
What do we do about our kids who, but she went to Portland state university for the last,
00:31:45.580
well, yeah, for the last two years, she went to, she went to a little college in Idaho called
00:31:56.120
And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to
00:32:02.700
Portland state university and it just seems to have gone downhill from there.
00:32:08.480
So Dan, um, yeah, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all of us,
00:32:16.980
If, if you're not suffering from this, then I mean, God bless you, you know, get on your
00:32:29.580
Um, and you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?
00:32:39.700
My, my real goal is for us to be united eternally.
00:32:47.660
That's my goal as a father has been to teach them that way.
00:32:50.860
And how does, how is that going to happen with politics?
00:32:57.800
We just stay together as a family, regardless of what politics does.
00:33:04.560
I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest.
00:33:17.380
I mean, I, I, I remember, you know, we've talked about this before and you didn't believe
00:33:24.960
I'd like to see what you were reading or what, what that was and just ask questions, but
00:33:32.500
They can't be, you know, cause I'm setting you up cause I want to change your mind.
00:33:45.780
Because if you don't, if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away.
00:33:52.620
So when she's loving, she was young, when she was young, I considered her one of the
00:33:59.660
elect and the scripture says that in the last days, even the elect are going to be
00:34:05.700
And that's, that's what I'm seeing, but everything you've said, I, I'm, I'm, I'm doing, I'm
00:34:11.860
doing it that way because I know then you're Dan, you didn't need to, I appreciate it.
00:34:16.140
I'm so glad you called me, but you didn't need to, my advice.
00:34:27.180
She works quietly in a small room somewhere, holding the hand of a woman.
00:34:30.620
She thinks that that woman thinks she's out of options.
00:34:43.300
And when the tears fall, when the fear is really loud and palpable, when hope seems impossible,
00:34:52.080
because of that one person that you'll never meet, lives are changed and hope is reborn.
00:34:58.740
Everyone, pre-born, stands behind these women, giving them free ultrasounds, compassionate counseling, practical support they need to choose life.
00:35:10.560
No one in their life is saying, choose life, choose life, and we'll help you.
00:35:16.860
The babies in their mom's womb who need your help right now, and as the year comes to a close, your tax-deductible donation can be the difference between life and death.
00:35:24.360
Would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
00:35:27.980
If you have the ability, 5, 10, or 15,000, 15,000 buys an ultrasound machine for another clinic, and how many babies is going to be the lifespan of that ultrasound machine?
00:35:51.460
A wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.
00:35:59.020
I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.
00:36:04.960
So, you wake up one morning, and you pour yourself a cup of coffee, and something feels a little off.
00:36:22.900
You know, the bills are on the counter, the dog's waiting to go out as normal.
00:36:26.360
Until you check the mail, and you find a foreclosure notice with your name on it, and you've never missed a payment.
00:36:32.240
You call the bank, and they tell you, well, that mortgage, it's not even yours anymore.
00:36:36.620
Someone transferred your home's title right out from under you.
00:36:40.160
The thief found your title online, forged a signature, and now they've taken out loans against your home.
00:36:46.220
You're left trying to prove that you still own your own home.
00:36:51.900
That's not a fun place to be, and that's why Home Title Lock exists.
00:36:56.980
It's like a 24-hour 7 security system for the deed of your home.
00:37:01.860
And this is, you know, something they can monitor, the title that you have constantly.
00:37:06.760
They can, if there's any suspicious activity, you know, anything that's going on, they can alert you immediately.
00:37:12.380
Because the faster that you know, the faster you can shut it down.
00:37:15.120
And we've talked about partnering with Home Title Lock for a long time.
00:37:20.380
You can find out if you're already a victim by going to HomeTitleLock.com.
00:37:28.640
You'll get a free title history report, plus a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection with 24-7 monitoring,
00:37:35.440
the urgent alerts to any changes, and if fraud does occur, they'll help you put it back right.
00:37:40.200
It's HomeTitleLock.com, promo code Blaze, at HomeTitleLock.com.
00:38:09.660
And as you've said many times, elections have consequences.
00:38:14.680
And we're lovers of American history, of the American story.
00:38:19.600
And because of that, we had decided to move from Texas to Williamsburg, Virginia,
00:38:25.180
and live in a historic triangle there with Yorktown and Jamestown.
00:38:33.020
We've been planning that for a little over a year, had our house on the market here in Texas and everything.
00:38:37.040
And after the election, at 3 in the morning, my wife and I were in bed with tears in our eyes saying,
00:38:49.120
We can't move from a state like Texas to a state that has openly said that they want to become the California of the East.
00:38:57.920
And then thinking about what the founding fathers in Williamsburg would have thought of that.
00:39:06.340
I tell you, I hesitate to say this because everybody's decision is personal, but I think I would have made exactly the same decision.
00:39:16.820
You know, there's two states in the union that I really, really trust, but both of them can change in a heartbeat.
00:39:30.820
You know, the other ones, you know, there'll be good ones here and there, but they're all kind of dicey.
00:39:35.740
You know, there's only two states that I know of that are crystal clear on on what rights are and what it means.
00:39:46.020
And, you know, if you know, if we lose in 2026, things are going to be difficult.
00:39:53.980
If we lose in 2028, I just I fear the backlash because they're all they just think that Trump has just gone off the rails,
00:40:03.900
that there are no legitimate investigations going on, that this is just all just vengeance.
00:40:11.180
These are legitimate investigations and they have to be solved.
00:40:15.440
And when you elect people like they did in Virginia who say, you know, we can the only way that we can get people to change their mind is maybe,
00:40:23.440
you know, have to kill them and watch their babies die in their arms because then they'll change their mind.
00:40:46.540
Yeah, you had been talking about listening to the still small voice and doing what it says.
00:40:53.440
My husband and I were on a cruise and we took an excursion snorkeling.
00:41:00.320
We were out there in the water and all of a sudden something said, you need to go back to the boat.
00:41:09.260
And then I thought, he said, listen to that still small voice.
00:41:20.040
So I started heading back to the boat and he stayed out there and then he turned around
00:41:30.040
And what we didn't know was that there was a storm coming in and the current was changing and getting worse and worse.
00:41:39.600
Of course, I left early, so I didn't really have too much of a problem getting back on the boat.
00:41:45.200
But my husband saw me and looked like I was, you know, not going as quick.
00:41:53.380
He's got these big fins and he can catch me like that.
00:41:56.880
And you're supposed to stay together when you're snorkeling.
00:41:59.620
So he was keeping an eye on me, but he never caught me.
00:42:05.140
He saw people on the boat that kept, you know, some of the assistants.
00:42:09.640
And they were getting into the water quickly to save people.
00:42:14.220
They had to save every single person on that that had gotten off the boat.
00:42:20.480
And my husband and I did not need, you know, we, we were okay.
00:42:29.320
No, you know, you should not attribute that listening to me.
00:42:32.180
That's you did exactly what you're supposed to do.
00:42:39.700
But I will tell you that you won't survive if you won't survive what's coming because it's going to get harder and harder.
00:42:48.520
It's not, you know, now we've been asked to stand up and, you know, and fight and stand up for what's right.
00:42:55.940
And it's been pretty clear to me, at least it's been pretty clear what's right.
00:43:05.220
Uh, let's take that, uh, 12 year old and cut off their breasts.
00:43:39.160
And I'm telling you, it will save your life in the future and keep you on the right track.
00:43:49.060
I want to talk to you about the burner launcher.
00:43:50.660
Everybody assumes help is coming when things go wrong.
00:43:52.960
The police, a neighbor, somebody with a badge, a flashlight.
00:44:00.880
Before that, we all knew we were the first responder.
00:44:09.500
It's a non-lethal personal defense launcher that fires pepper, uh, um, and tear gas-based
00:44:17.940
It's designed to stop an attacker before they ever get close.
00:44:20.520
No permit, no background check, legal in all 50 states.
00:44:23.400
It's the kind of tool that turns panic into preparation.
00:44:25.680
And you don't have to choose between doing nothing and do something you're going to regret.
00:44:30.760
Stand your ground safely, effectively, decisively.
00:44:34.060
Stall, buy yourself time to get out and for somebody to arrive.
00:44:47.300
Go to Berna dot com slash Glenn today and find a location near you.
00:46:20.180
If we've missed a story or you think we need to, we were wrong about a story, just bring it up.
00:46:28.200
Next, first, let me tell you about Good Ranchers.
00:46:34.960
We sat at a table and stories were told and lessons were learned and families were built.
00:46:40.420
And somewhere along the way, we just lost all of that.
00:46:45.100
They're an American company that delivers 100% American meat.
00:46:56.600
Every box is a reminder of what mealtime used to mean.
00:47:00.340
Gathering and gratitude and something worth talking about.
00:47:03.560
When you serve Good Ranchers, you're not just putting a steak or chicken or fish on the table.
00:47:07.660
You're supporting American farmers and ranchers who make that table possible.
00:47:19.020

00:47:43.380
I never would have called this show if I didn't have a dream about speaking to you last night.
00:47:49.360
And of course, Stu will tell you that you're dreaming about Glenn.
00:47:54.220
I mean, you've got to raise your standards there.
00:48:02.840
So what we talked about in the phone call was George Washington.
00:48:06.760
I'm actually writing my PhD dissertation on George Washington.
00:48:11.860
And I never had a mixture of excitement and heartbreak when I heard about George AI.
00:48:17.660
But then I was heartbroken that I wasn't involved in it.
00:48:22.460
I'm just calling about that because I don't know.
00:48:24.740
When you're dreaming about Glenn Beck and the phone call, you know, I just jumped on it.
00:48:28.860
Well, OK, so, Paul, you're getting your PhD in history and specifically with George Washington
00:48:47.380
And what did you come away thinking about George Washington, learning about George Washington?
00:48:56.100
So Washington is all over the Pittsburgh area because of the French and Indian War.
00:49:00.580
Yeah, you kind of wonder how much of it is legend and how much of it is true.
00:49:04.640
And then the more you look into it, you realize these things weren't written about him after
00:49:09.960
or during the revolution to, you know, pump him up.
00:49:13.400
These things are written minutes or weeks after it happened.
00:49:17.640
We're pastors like Samuel Davies is writing after the Battle of Nongahela.
00:49:22.280
This man might be being saved for our future purpose.
00:49:24.980
And that's stuff that's happening 20 years before the revolution.
00:49:29.360
The more you know, the more awe-inspired it is.
00:49:37.440
You look at George Washington and I can't believe we lie about his teeth.
00:49:43.920
We lie about the cherry tree when he is the most honest, forthright and heroic guy, I think, in all of American history.
00:49:57.980
I mean, he is one of a kind and we lie about him and we don't talk about all the things that happened
00:50:03.300
that are absolutely real and just confounding miraculously.
00:50:11.140
It's shocking when you think of all of the incidents where his life, I mean, you had Celine Zeta on a couple months ago
00:50:18.020
and she was talking about the incident in Butler where he was shot when he was 21 years old.
00:50:23.180
A bullet flies in between him and a guide inches away.
00:50:27.800
I mean, it's not just American history that's altered if he dies before the war.
00:50:37.260
So what is the worst thing you could find about George Washington?
00:50:40.040
I could only find that his mother said that he ate a lot of ice cream and it was too extravagant.
00:50:50.960
You know, the more you learn about her, the more I think George Washington's mom,
00:51:05.640
It's probably why he went on an adventure so early just to get out of the house.
00:51:17.100
No, it's hard to, when you, it's hard to find the dark when the light is so bright with him.
00:51:23.000
I mean, the, are you aware that one of the reasons that he ended slavery, I mean, ended
00:51:30.280
his own personal slavery was a dream that he had, that he was being, not aware of that.
00:51:34.980
And he, he, he told her, I'm, I'm rewriting the will.
00:51:39.240
And that's when he's on his deathbed, he brings out the two wills and he brings out
00:51:43.140
the new will that he, that he wrote that frees his, that frees the slaves after he had
00:51:57.500
And I have to tell you, have you seen original sources on it?
00:52:01.420
I mean, can, is it quoting where it's coming from?
00:52:05.880
Uh, yeah, it does quote, it does quote where it's at.
00:52:08.280
I don't, I mean, I have the book on my desk here, but I don't know where it's from.
00:52:11.960
So Paul, you know, I would really love to get your information, um, put him on hold and
00:52:17.000
get his information and he should go over to, um, I mean, he had a dream.
00:52:22.680
I mean, we should at least pursue this to see if there's anything there seeing, seeing
00:52:25.940
that we're building George AI and that's what you're, you're all about.
00:52:29.320
So, you know, the, it is, if you can get through college and you want to learn history, I don't
00:52:40.520
know how, you know, I don't know how Paul did it and made it with his, with his brain,
00:52:49.480
not just jello, you know, because when you go, this is the difference between look, George
00:52:55.800
AI is not going to be, it's not going to be complete for a long time.
00:53:03.880
Um, but it is going to be a, a doorway into learning about the founders in their own words
00:53:13.280
You know, when you go to a university or you learn from history in class, you're, you're,
00:53:19.660
you're, you're trained to quote the interpreters of history, not understand the originators.
00:53:27.460
Instead of, instead of reading Madison, you're standing there and you're sitting there and
00:53:32.600
you're listening to a teacher or a professor trying to explain what Madison really meant.
00:53:45.580
Can you imagine a hundred years from now, Trump's Trump in the history books?
00:53:52.500
How do you think that guy's going to be remembered with historians?
00:53:57.460
How are they going to get, we can't even, half the country doesn't even know who he is.
00:54:02.360
Half the country and they're watching him in real time.
00:54:14.060
If you actually listen to him, if you actually watch him, you learn that's a completely different
00:54:24.380
There's a show going on and there's things that he does that I don't necessarily like,
00:54:34.200
That's, that's why first sources are so important.
00:54:38.760
You know, you're not, you're not, you're not learning the interpretation.
00:54:43.360
When you read about Washington and the farewell address and Lincoln's second inaugural, you
00:54:52.580
see, you see men who believed that truth existed outside of them, moral and divine.
00:55:05.440
Universities are also teaching that, you know, I don't know.
00:55:20.060
I don't know how Paul made it through without hating America, you know, because usually
00:55:30.640
you're taught that the, the founders were hypocrites and you're not reading the original
00:55:37.320
When you read the Federalist Papers, when you actually read the words of Frederick Douglass,
00:55:42.320
not the interpretation of Frederick Douglass, but you read the words of Fred, Fred, uh, Frederick
00:55:47.620
Douglass, you see a guy who's really struggling trying to figure it out.
00:56:08.120
I don't think in today's world, the struggle for truth, the struggle for truth, the struggle
00:56:12.120
for thinking you're not taught to critically think anymore.
00:56:15.980
You know, you're, you're conform, conform, conform, write this down, kids.
00:56:26.840
You just, you, you had, you decide to go your own way.
00:56:29.840
You decide to dissent and go, no, I don't think that's what it meant.
00:56:42.120
And I think also universities, when you're learning history, I mean, look, if you want
00:56:54.000
You got to get the, you got to get the ticket, but boy, I don't know how you do it.
00:57:01.500
Because one of the things that happens is they strip you of awe.
00:57:12.080
He, he still was holding on to, no, you don't have any idea.
00:57:15.900
He's on the battlefield of Butler, Pennsylvania, and bullets are whizzing by him.
00:57:21.380
He walks off the battlefield and he's got holes in his coat, but he's fine.
00:57:37.480
And he, so he's a giant of a man and he's riding these big white stallions and he's going
00:57:48.600
People say over and over again, I had him in my sights.
00:58:04.580
These are the kinds of things I hope we are going to be teaching through my AI project.
00:58:12.460
It's the torch debuts in January and I have used it.
00:58:21.600
I mean, we have, I'm a little nervous, a little nervous because we're building something that
00:58:29.640
And, uh, and I just want it to be just right for you.
00:58:33.920
I want you to be able to, you know, one of the first things I'm going to give you address
00:58:40.980
I'll give you an address where you can write your questions.
00:58:43.880
You would say, Glenn, this is what I want to learn from the torch.
00:58:48.360
These are the questions I would have for the founders.
00:58:51.100
Um, I, I, I really want to understand civics or I, I need to learn the bill of rights and
00:58:59.900
Whatever it is you want to learn about, especially founding the founding of the country.
00:59:05.760
And then anything you want to learn about in the news, I'm going to give you an address
00:59:10.620
tomorrow and I want you to write to me and tell me so we can make sure that we have these
00:59:16.460
things really ready for you in, in January, because I think we, we, you know, the, the
00:59:22.800
pressure is on to get moving here, get moving lots to do little time.
00:59:34.120
You're forced to choose between things that all feel the same.
00:59:37.420
I mean, do you want the premium plan or the ultimate plan?
00:59:41.820
You want the one with the company with the blue logo or the one that pretends to care?
00:59:48.160
Every, every option looks different until you follow the money and you realize, oh, no,
00:59:54.560
Patriot mobile is actually one choices that actually changes everything.
00:59:59.200
They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they live that.
01:00:04.120
That means every dollar that you spend with them stays aligned with their, with your
01:00:12.380
They use the same nationwide towers as the big guys, but they don't fund the causes that
01:00:18.080
undermine your faith or freedom because your values are their values.
01:00:21.180
Sometimes the right choice isn't about having more options, even though they do offer you
01:00:26.840
It's about finally making the choice that actually matters.
01:00:30.800
And that choice is Patriot mobile because your decision should be more than just connecting
01:00:37.580
It should connect you to what you believe and what you're fighting for Patriot mobile.
01:00:42.380
They offer premium access to all three major U S networks.
01:00:45.660
So you're going to enjoy the same or even better premium coverage as the major carriers
01:00:53.200
In fact, if you use the promo code back, you get a free month of service.
01:00:56.380

01:01:31.720
And in, in, in what role, uh, that, that we want it to, um, to play in our, in our lives.
01:01:41.300
Um, you know, do we want it, uh, do we want it running power plants?
01:01:52.240
Um, I don't think that we're, that we're really, um, thinking about that, but, um, to be
01:01:59.440
honest, Glenn, um, I, I, I feel, I feel compelled to take this opportunity, um, to, uh, to go
01:02:19.600
Um, I mean that from the bottom of, of, of, of my soul, um, and, uh, something's telling
01:02:29.180
me to, to, to tell you that, um, I think it's back in 2008, maybe 2007 when you first started,
01:02:44.420
Um, I think that, that you, that you really hesitated with that because it was very bold
01:02:52.280
You, you made, you, you absolutely made, made the right call, um, because, uh, I don't, I
01:03:01.680
don't have, um, any real father figures, um, and listening to, to, to you has truly been
01:03:09.720
made me not only a, a, uh, a more balanced person, um, it's made me a better man and
01:03:21.460
Um, so I can't thank you, um, um, enough for that.
01:03:26.260
And the monologue that you did yesterday when you were talking, um, um, about fear and,
01:03:33.780
um, I mean, those, those, those words just hit me so, so square because, um, I've got
01:03:47.160
Um, there are so many things going on in my, in my, in my life that, that, that I just,
01:03:52.440
I'm, I'm just struggling every day, you know, just to be the, be the best husband, be the best
01:04:01.960
And man, you know, that, that, that really helped me out.
01:04:08.260
Well, Joe, I have to tell you, when you said I decided to go another way, um, usually I don't
01:04:14.260
tolerate, uh, that because you, you know, you, you have to be honest when you get on, but
01:04:19.960
Cause I thought, no, I'll just hear what you said.
01:04:22.280
And it didn't go where I thought it was going to go.
01:04:28.260
Um, but, uh, I, I, no, no, no, that's all right.
01:04:32.080
Um, but, but thank you for those really kind, kind words.
01:04:42.120
Uh, you know, we're, we're, we're all afraid of something every day, man.
01:04:47.800
I told Stu this four months ago, maybe three months ago, I came in and I said, there is a
01:04:55.180
I feel like it's the first day I've ever gone on the air, you know, that it just, that
01:05:02.020
And every day I, I come in, I've just got this pit in my stomach of what am I going to
01:05:16.600
Um, but you know, we just keep doing what we're doing because that's the time we live
01:05:21.700
in and we're going to make it just stay close to God.
01:05:26.680
I thought Stu was going to say something just, just to denigrate everything I just said.
01:05:33.440
If that's what you're looking for, uh, it's my expertise.
01:05:41.740
I mean, I think, yes, I think, yes, I thought you were going back to the collar there.
01:05:47.340
Uh, I'll, I'll, I'll come up with a new insult here for you in the next, with the next.
01:05:53.420
I will say it was nice to have a collar who, who, who changed what he was going to say
01:06:01.500
I don't think that's ever happened in the entire time.
01:06:04.920
When he said, I'm going to turn it into something else.
01:06:09.120
It's usually either something completely insane or, uh, something basically calling you a
01:06:17.440
I have to tell you, uh, I've been thinking, uh, Stalin was right.
01:06:31.680
I don't know how we got from waffles to Stalin, but okay.

Ever notice how your paycheck seems to vanish faster than, uh, than ever before.
01:06:53.880
I mean, you're making decent money, but between the credit cards, the rising interest rates,
01:06:58.120
the endless bills, it feels like you're running in place all the time.

You work hard, but the numbers never seem to quite catch up.

Um, and it's what American financing helps people escape every single day.
01:07:12.140
They're a family owned mortgage company that works for you, not the bank.
01:07:15.820
That means everybody who answers the phone, they're not getting paid.
01:07:18.380
If they sell you something, that's why they listen to you and they figure out what's right
01:07:22.920
They help refinance high interest debt into one lower monthly payment, sometimes saving
01:07:29.800
The average person from this audience that calls, they're saving $835 every month.
01:07:38.520
I want you to call American financing at American financing.net 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
01:07:50.660
No matter what it is, even if it's Stalin waffles, we're taking phone calls today.
01:08:22.600
First off, I just wanted to say I'm a Democrat and I've been listening for almost 10 years,
01:08:31.900
How many days do you, how many days are you, I mean, you're into S&M, I don't know.
01:08:38.080
I mean, how many days do you just shake your head and go, my God, I can't, what am I doing
01:08:52.100
I'm not going to say that it's complete disagreement, but a lot of times I end up pulling my hair.
01:09:00.340
I know you're the one calling in, but I have so many questions for you.
01:09:10.780
Uh, if it's being, if I'm being completely honest, uh, I don't really have many conservatives
01:09:14.840
in my life that I can talk to you about stuff like this.
01:09:18.000
So I really like to get that perspective from you and just kind of see what the other side
01:09:24.080
The only problem is I can't usually get answers to questions that I like want.
01:09:27.940
Like I'll be screaming at the radio thinking like, oh, but what about this?
01:09:31.900
So, you know, all right, well, let's go, let's go for it.
01:09:34.540
I, you know, the other option was, and I thought it was probably a better, you know, a more likely
01:09:39.840
Maybe you were paraplegic and somebody had left the radio on that really did not like you.
01:09:46.800
And you're like in the room going, I can't change the dial.
01:09:52.140
Uh, so, uh, what I wanted to talk about was your take on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension way
01:09:56.460
back when, uh, honestly, I don't think you really came down hard enough on Trump for
01:10:00.740
that because I mean, you had the FCC chair who came out and basically threatened ABC
01:10:07.020
And, uh, I feel like the next day, I think if I remember correctly, you came out and said,
01:10:14.820
And I feel like that kind of flies in the face of what you've been saying a lot about
01:10:19.000
when, uh, you say that you, you know, you can disagree with someone, but you would defend
01:10:25.720
So I just, I feel like Trump, we have a lot of people looking the other way.
01:10:32.460
Um, and maybe I didn't make a big enough deal out of it, but my opinion was always,
01:10:42.740
And Stu, and I remember Stu and I talking about, um, this is beyond what the FCC, I,
01:10:49.580
cause I know the FCC, I, you know, and I know I happen to know that commissioner.
01:10:59.340
Um, and as somebody who is regulated by the FCC, I don't want them to be able to do that
01:11:05.420
So why would I want them to do that to Jimmy Kimmel?
01:11:08.300
Um, the, uh, so I am, I'm absolutely against it.
01:11:12.580
And I, I do stand up for people when they lose their jobs.
01:11:19.580
Um, but when it comes to Jimmy Kimmel, ABC does have a right to fire people for low ratings,
01:11:29.040
you know, and I think this probably came from the frustration of, of what's his name of
01:11:34.900
the dancing syringes, uh, Colbert, that, that he knows he's lying about all of that.
01:11:48.700
They were hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars on that show every year.
01:11:53.180
And you can only, as a network, you can only hemorrhage money for so long and you know,
01:12:01.680
So I, I may have not come out as strongly as I should have.
01:12:05.340
And I'm, I'm glad you called me on that, Anthony.
01:12:10.980
I just feel like I would like it if more conservatives were willing to come out as strongly against
01:12:18.000
other conservatives as they would, if it was a Democrat doing it, you know, cause I know
01:12:21.900
you'd be screaming about this if Biden's SEC chair had done that.
01:12:25.700
Well, they, they did, uh, you know, I had, I had three white house, I had three white house,
01:12:38.660
I had three white house, uh, executives or advisors in the white house running campaigns
01:12:48.180
So, I mean, I've lived it and so I, I do understand it.
01:12:54.420
Well, I, you know, I, I can't say much to that, but what I can say is I just, I've never,
01:13:00.900
I personally have never seen it before where someone can go on national television, issue
01:13:05.400
a blatant threat, make it so obvious, and then just have everyone else just kind of say,
01:13:14.720
It just, yeah, well, I, I hope Anthony, I hope I've, I mean, not to rehash the entire
01:13:20.040
I think it's a little bit overstating and honestly, when it came to what the threat was, I mean,
01:13:24.040
he was in the middle of an interview, he's asked a question, he was talking about this
01:13:26.840
and he, and just like, you know, a lot of officials do that he was talking about a story
01:13:32.140
and I don't, I didn't take it as this is going to happen to you tomorrow.
01:13:37.780
I also don't think he had the power to do it anyway.
01:13:40.580
I mean, I think there was a lot of talk and I will, I will say that I am a sympathetic to
01:13:47.060
the case that at times the Trump administration talks more than they should about these things
01:13:56.360
A lot of times claiming powers that they don't have in interviews when, you know, that, that
01:14:02.760
these aren't even things that could happen, but there's a lot of big talking.
01:14:08.480
You know, it's funny, Anthony, you'd be, I think you'd be probably surprised at how
01:14:12.300
many times we have said on and off the air, um, this is getting close to constitutional
01:14:18.260
problems and if it goes any farther, you know, we're going to be on the other side.
01:14:23.240
I mean, we, we, we watch this very carefully, very carefully.
01:14:28.100
And we're, I mean, we're debating some things right now, um, you know, that I, I, I don't
01:14:34.560
know how to make sense of, but I don't have to make sense of it yet because it hasn't happened.
01:14:39.300
But if it does happen, then I got to look at it and go, okay, it's unconstitutional.
01:14:48.620
Um, we, we really try really hard, but you don't hear that.
01:14:53.600
And, uh, you know, I don't expect you to take my word for it.
01:14:57.280
No, but I do believe, is there anything you believe that that is, you know, I do believe
01:15:00.880
that you guys would hold it accountable if you felt that it would cross the constitution.
01:15:05.640
I'm just kind of, for me, I guess I'm just waiting to see it.
01:15:09.740
And I don't know if we'll ever come to that point where Trump will actually blatantly do
01:15:13.200
something that flies in the face of the constitution, but with things like him tweeting out, you
01:15:17.800
know, if I save the country, I don't break laws, stuff like that.
01:15:25.020
And you know what, Anthony, you know, there might be something, there might be something here
01:15:28.860
that we disagree on that might be part of the problem.
01:15:32.780
Um, I took, I took Donald Trump's words literally, uh, for a long time.
01:15:42.060
And that's why I was against Donald Trump at the beginning.
01:15:44.540
And then I realized, oh, he doesn't, that's a show.
01:15:48.500
And, and I hadn't seen that before in a president.
01:15:55.640
Um, but that's a show you take him, uh, you don't take him literally.
01:16:05.080
Um, and he says a lot of stuff that you're like, all right, and I got to do that, you
01:16:13.220
Hey, little rocket man, you know, may have to vaporize North Korea.
01:16:20.160
He said that, but I don't get, you know, into a panic because he's not going to do that.
01:16:27.820
Um, and so you have to separate what he says from what he actually does.
01:16:33.560
So sometimes we don't comment on what he says because I look for what he's doing instead.
01:16:44.320
I just, I guess what I'd say to that is I would just like it if we had a president who
01:16:48.600
didn't make me have to try to parse through what, what he's saying when he says something
01:16:56.300
So would I, but I live in the world that is the world that it is not the world that I
01:17:11.120
Well, I really appreciate your, your phone call.
01:17:13.520
And, uh, if you hear something, you just, you call and, uh, and I'll make sure the phone
01:17:19.520
Cause I really would like to hear the other side from someone rational.
01:17:23.500
Like I love having conversations with people on the other side.
01:17:27.860
And so I, we do appreciate you listening, Anthony.
01:17:48.520
No, that's, that's, those are my favorite calls.
01:17:52.000
When people can, I mean, and don't, don't you kind of starve for that?
01:17:56.120
Wouldn't you love to have that conversation with family members that, where you don't agree?
01:18:03.660
Where, and I, the points he brings up, like we've talked about this.
01:18:09.080
Of course, there are definite issues that we have with Trump.
01:18:11.460
You know, I've talked to many times about the tariff powers.
01:18:14.640
And I think, you know, that that's going to be, we talked about that many times.
01:18:19.140
Yeah, we've had with some of the COVID stuff, you know, and I will say, like, I, I have a disconnect a little bit internally that it's probably something that he's noticing.
01:18:28.000
And maybe others are as well, where like stuff like when the president comes out and goes after a giant media company editing his interviews, like I, the BBC one that has just come out was blatantly terrible.
01:18:43.940
Some of them are just like things that Donald Trump doesn't like.
01:18:47.720
And some of it makes me feel kind of good inside emotionally.
01:18:51.340
But I also really am hesitant to be excited about a president going after individual media companies in a company, in a country like ours, like number one, where I'm doing a show and I can see the, we've done the show during democratic presidents and had these pressures that we didn't like.
01:19:07.820
But also, you know, in a country with the first amendment, it is, it's, it's a risky road.
01:19:14.360
Glenn, I don't know if you do, but I'm concerned about it at times.
01:19:18.760
I, you know, I didn't like the tariffs on Canada, you know, for playing Ronald Reagan.
01:19:27.820
I don't even know if those actually went into effect.
01:19:35.060
But, you know, if you look at the debate when we were going on the, what is it?
01:19:44.400
The alien and sedition act, um, with James Madison, they, I mean, they went round after round after round.
01:19:52.720
And some of the most compelling arguments were, you can lie.
01:20:06.740
And when I first read that, and I'm like, wow, why, why would, what, but you look at their reasoning in the argument.
01:20:13.920
They're like, the government cannot be the arbiter of truth.
01:20:20.700
So if you lie about somebody outside of the government, if you lie about an individual and you're smearing them, but if you're lying about the government, you cannot put the government as the arbiter of truth because they have too much power.
01:20:34.940
And so I, I don't like the fact that the government can come after you.
01:20:45.720
Donald Trump as an individual, you know, if you're saying things that are absolute lies about me, that BBC thing was just, somebody has, yeah, it was so bad.
01:20:57.640
Also in a country that doesn't have a first amendment and those protections, which is maybe these companies could consider pushing for one in their nations because, you know, when you have those, it's a lot easier to, to sue in that way over a public figure there.
01:21:13.080
And I, and I think, you know, if you're a public figure, you have a right to sue.
01:21:17.000
I do not want the government going in and saying, you can't do Jimmy Kimmel, FCC, you, you have to get off.
01:21:30.860
Um, but when it comes to, Hey, you're saying this and it's a lie and you're defaming me.
01:21:43.740
You know, we lock our doors, we set our alarms, we double check the garage remote just to make sure, but most of us live every day, you know, with our front door to the internet wide open.

01:22:30.240
And I remember thinking who wants their social security number, dude.

It was a different world, but they led the way back then when nobody was talking about this.

When's the house vote on the end of the shutdown?
01:24:05.540
I guess as soon as everybody gets into town, which is a bit of a challenge considering the shutdown flight situation for everybody because of the shutdown.
01:24:13.520
So in theory, when they get into town, they're going to vote for it and it's expected to pass relatively easily because they probably will get some Democrat votes on top of the majority they have.
01:24:24.460
So in theory, that will get us back to the happy days of incredibly high spending and a bunch of unessential employees back at work.
01:24:36.600
And then, and then, just as we get back from the holidays, they'll shut it down again.
01:24:46.820
The one, the two adjustments that have been made, if you haven't followed the back and forth on this, really the only stuff that Democrats quote unquote got out of this arrangement was to stop any firings that could happen with a future shutdown and also to extend SNAP benefits.
01:25:04.620
So they would not be part of the discussion either until I believe September.

It lets you choose soft, deep tissue or contoured massage.

Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program
01:27:55.900
We want to hit some of the headlines, some of the biggest news stories of the day
01:28:02.560
We begin just in 60 seconds after I'll tell you about Z-Factor
01:28:06.480
Ever notice how everything feels harder when you're tired?
01:28:10.000
The traffic on your way to work in the morning is worse
01:28:12.380
The day's longer, little things start to feel like giant things
01:28:15.220
That's because sleep isn't just rest, it's repair
01:28:18.220
It is the time your body takes and repairs everything that the day stole from you
01:28:25.820
Z-Factor from the makers of Relief Factor was created to help reclaim all of that stuff
01:28:31.040
It's a natural sleep supplement that helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and actually wake up feeling refreshed
01:28:40.060
Just clean, restful sleep that works with your body instead of against it
01:28:44.060
Because when you sleep well, you're stronger, sharper, more patient, more you
01:28:50.500
It helps you return to the person that you're supposed to be when you're at your best
01:28:55.800
Because the world doesn't need a tired version of you, it needs the real one
01:29:18.580
Good, there's a couple of stories that I think are worth talking about
01:29:29.360
Also, there's a new update on the Jeffrey Epstein thing
01:29:40.260
The $2,000 stimulus check or the 50-year mortgage
01:29:55.000
I don't think, I think I'd pick the 50-year mortgage
01:29:57.080
To me, the 50-year mortgage should be available
01:30:03.180
I don't know what the government has to do with any of this
01:30:10.560
And trust someone's going to pay you back for 50 years
01:30:19.800
You're not going to be in the category that receives anybody
01:30:23.620
You're going to be paying for it, not receiving it
01:30:26.800
But yeah, neither one of those two stories are my favorites
01:30:32.220
Yeah, I don't like, I don't want to be writing checks
01:30:56.460
He can't turn the economy around as quickly as he did the last time
01:31:04.280
And so, you know, everybody was expecting and voting for him to turn things around
01:31:11.880
But you're still, you know, now we're at 3% inflation
01:31:19.940
Getting the prices down to where they were, you know, in 2020
01:31:33.940
It's also one of those things that, you know, there's a lot of disagreement on
01:31:41.540
He likes being out there talking about these things
01:31:48.700
It has made his economic approval ratings be more difficult, I think
01:31:54.780
And I think people are feeling, you know, some of the stuff being echoes from previous administration
01:32:01.920
You know, with the spending and everything else
01:32:04.360
That's still the major cause of price increases
01:32:08.720
But, you know, some of that, you know, isn't helpful as well
01:32:14.620
You know, again, I don't know that that's even going to pass
01:32:19.400
You know, that's not something that he can just do on his own
01:32:21.960
He can't just hand out thousands of dollars in checks
01:32:25.220
I've seen a constitutional justification for that
01:32:28.100
So I don't think that's what he's even planning
01:32:30.940
I'm sure he's planning on trying to get something passed to do that
01:32:37.740
You know, I am not a person who wants to solve our debt problems with increased
01:32:48.340
If just, you know, things are going great and you get more money in
01:32:52.000
I'd rather have that dished out toward the debt
01:32:54.860
At least as long as there's a long-term plan to address it
01:32:58.400
I mean, I don't know that paying, you know, 1% or 2% of our debt off
01:33:03.180
Is even better than honestly just dishing out a bunch of money to people
01:33:07.820
But I will say it is what we would refer to as a
01:33:20.200
And that used to be something we had a big problem with
01:33:22.660
You know, it's just, again, something he threw out
01:33:26.840
But we should be concerned about going down that path long-term
01:33:40.100
Well, we talked about this a little bit yesterday
01:34:20.800
Because of the taxes and the jobs and everything else
01:35:32.300
Obviously there's a lot of economic considerations
01:35:48.840
Where the internet kind of blew up on everybody
01:36:05.880
Before it really did what everyone was promising
01:36:23.160
They're describing what the exuberance was like
01:36:35.680
I mean, look at all of the things on the horizon
01:36:37.880
Look at all the new technology that is happening
