The Glenn Beck Program - What the GOP Needs to Do to Avoid a Disastrous Midterm ｜ Guests： Bethany Miller & Carol Roth ｜ 9⧸3⧸26

00:00:00.000 Turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads

00:00:05.320 telling you something different about Medicare, and most of it just makes things more confusing.

00:00:09.720 But because this is not a small decision, it's your health care, you need to know you can see

00:00:14.640 the right doctors, you need to get the care that you have to have, and not pay for a plan that

00:00:19.740 doesn't fit your life. This is where Chapter comes in. They don't just hand you options,

00:00:24.600 they look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, and they help you find a plan that

00:00:28.740 actually works for you over the last year they have helped people in this

00:00:33.060 audience save 1.5 million dollars just by finding better fitting plans and it's

00:00:38.640 really sometimes not even about the money I heard about a guy named mark

00:00:41.860 chapter stepped in helped him get the care he needed he said they were

00:00:45.420 absolutely spectacular so give him a call the call is free they've helped

00:00:49.800 thousands in my audience and they can help you to dial pound 250 say the

00:00:53.880 keyword chapter it's pound 250 keyword chapter

00:00:58.740 Spark a flame, pass it on, crank the game, let back us on.

00:01:28.740 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:01:47.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:53.680 Hello, America.

00:01:55.280 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:56.760 The president spoke yesterday, he's got a busy next, you know, 35 days

00:02:02.220 He said he's going to now start traveling the country for those Republicans who are in trouble

00:02:08.240 And that's a lot, that's a lot

00:02:12.040 35 Republicans are in trouble

00:02:15.000 Will this work? I don't know

00:02:17.840 But I want to lay out the decision before all of us here in just a second

00:02:21.700 First, let me tell you about Relief Factor

00:02:23.040 I actually had a meeting with the folks from Relief Factor just yesterday.

00:02:27.440 You know what we talked about?

00:02:29.180 Probably shouldn't say, but we talked about you the whole time.

00:02:33.660 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:34.520 I mean, it was all good stuff.

00:02:35.460 Don't worry.

00:02:36.020 Honestly, it was all good stuff.

00:02:37.340 We talked about how important it is to them that you're able to do the things that you want to do,

00:02:43.840 whether it's, you know, your back every time you swing a golf club,

00:02:48.520 or your shoulder when you're digging in the garden,

00:02:50.640 or your knees when you're running or whatever.

00:02:53.400 The people at Relief Factor want you to be free of it.

00:02:57.720 You know my story.

00:02:58.740 The pain in my hands nearly made me quit my job.

00:03:02.600 It was my hands were, I couldn't write anymore.

00:03:06.060 And I liked to write.

00:03:07.520 And it was, there was something going on with my body

00:03:09.920 that was just so crippling.

00:03:11.000 And it was all caused, we think, by inflammation.

00:03:14.360 And I tried everything.

00:03:15.640 I mean, I was on a diet with only 80 ingredients

00:03:18.860 for like a year and a half.

00:03:20.340 and it didn't help, didn't break.

00:03:22.500 You know what?

00:03:22.800 It broke it, broke the back of this relief factor.

00:03:26.360 Still here talking to you.

00:03:28.300 You're hearing this.

00:03:29.580 And if you're in pain, today is the day to make the change.

00:03:32.700 Get the three-week quick start.

00:03:34.040 It's 1776.

00:03:35.260 See why so many people say relief factor.

00:03:37.340 Game their life back, me included.

00:03:38.900 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:03:41.640 You'll connect with their friendly local team

00:03:43.660 and they'll do everything they can to help.

00:03:45.680 That's relieffactor.com, 800, the number four, relief.

00:03:50.340 okay so last night the president came out in the rose garden he uh sat down with swing district

00:03:57.620 republicans in the rose garden told him exactly what he intends to do 30 days final 30 days before

00:04:03.800 november 3rd 35 races he asked mike johnson for the list everybody tied everybody down anybody up

00:04:11.300 by a hair he said he was going to go to every single one of them he named a couple uh in

00:04:16.040 particular he named ken paxton in texas he spoke highly of ken paxton he's like you don't have to

00:04:21.380 like the guy but look at his policies he was the best attorney general in the country and i agree

00:04:26.300 with that uh he also named dan sullivan in alaska talked about the the craziness that i mean these

00:04:32.260 guys don't care what it takes to win do you know that they found another guy um with the same exact

00:04:38.960 name to put him on the ballot just to split the vote. Are you kidding me? They'll do anything.

00:04:46.640 They'll do anything. Now, will him going around the country work? I don't know. It certainly won't

00:04:51.920 hurt. But at least I have to tell you, this guy just won't stop. Republicans have held the House

00:05:04.100 in the Senate, and they didn't deliver what they promised. You noticed this spring in the primaries,

00:05:09.420 you did something about it. You held them accountable. Some of them are not coming back.

00:05:14.240 That is the system working exactly as designed. The primary is the room where we're supposed to

00:05:20.960 settle our differences. Once that room is closed, the ballots are printed. So the only question left

00:05:26.640 is the one that will decide everything. Will Republican voters actually show up for candidates

00:05:31.320 They just fought so hard to nominate.

00:05:34.080 And quite honestly, when the system spends as much money, the most money than ever before, to defeat somebody like Ken Paxton, I don't know, that says something about him and the machine hating him.

00:05:50.360 I kind of like that.

00:05:52.680 I would wear that as a badge of honor.

00:05:55.140 Yeah, the machine tried to snuff me out because they're afraid of what I'm going to do because I won't play the game.

00:06:03.280 You know, we fight it out in the primary.

00:06:05.480 We stand together.

00:06:06.340 We're supposed to in November.

00:06:08.300 And that's not a slogan.

00:06:09.620 That's the difference between a family and the mob.

00:06:13.840 We are not a mob.

00:06:17.500 And I think there are some, not you, but I think there are some in this country that need to be reminded what's at stake.

00:06:23.180 Go back two years ago.

00:06:24.700 Do you remember what that felt like? Do you remember what we thought right before the election, that if this fails, we're toast, the country as we know it is over? We won. And then, this is two years ago, this is ancient history, two years ago, we all stood back and went, oh my gosh, look at what this guy is doing.

00:06:46.000 look at what he's doing without the help from congress without any cover without a single

00:06:52.320 thing handed to him with a press that is still hostile as hell he accomplished more than any

00:06:59.100 other president in my lifetime and perhaps a great deal longer and yet and this is true you

00:07:05.780 still feel it at the grocery store you're feeling it at the gas pump when the mortgage quote comes

00:07:11.140 back you laugh out loud because like that's not right right right that sting is real and nobody

00:07:19.300 gets to tell you it isn't but here's what else is real everybody keeps saying that congress has to

00:07:25.880 codify what this president has done or it all snaps back uh to the way that it was and that's

00:07:31.840 true and much of that begins snapping back five months from now if we lose the house and the

00:07:39.240 Senate. You've got to remember, most presidents coast through the last two years. Gold watch,

00:07:45.700 library plans, long weekends. It's a lame duck. He's not going to do anything. The question is 0.94

00:07:51.400 whether his final two years are spent working, because he won't. He won't. He's not going to

00:07:56.600 gold watch it. He'll work or spent under subpoenas and arguments and a press going after him even

00:08:03.520 more do we hand them the gavels and let the rest of his presidency become nothing but hearings and

00:08:09.760 impeachments and investigations to anything he's ever done everything he's ever thought of anything

00:08:14.840 he's ever said or anything he might want to do in the future and then there's the court

00:08:20.600 there's going to be a vacancy one maybe more somewhere between next year and five years from

00:08:29.100 now and that's just arithmetic it's not speculation it's arithmetic are you prepared to hand that seat

00:08:35.220 to the senate who can't define a woman who won't say plainly that marxism is wrong in the wrong

00:08:43.420 direction for this country you and i are going to be gone someday but that seat will still be there 0.98

00:08:51.040 deciding now republicans could make this easier on everybody and themselves if they

00:08:59.000 would just remember a few things and actions always speak louder than words and you've had

00:09:03.680 two years of non-action. They're not likely to pass anything meaningful between here and November

00:09:10.920 so at a minimum they might just relearn how to talk like human beings. Here Mr. Speaker give us

00:09:19.960 something to vote for. Oh time's up for that. Everyone with an R next to their names this fall

00:09:27.300 here's what people need to hear first say the word affordability can you say it can you say it

00:09:34.320 say it like a man who's seen a receipt at a grocery store from time to time when a candidate

00:09:39.880 waves that off or argues over who invented the word or explains that groceries cost what they

00:09:46.280 cost he's not sparring with a democrat he's contradicting a mom in the checkout line who's

00:09:53.340 just put the meat back because she can't afford it for her kids. Don't argue with her. Tell her,

00:10:01.540 I know, I see it. Here's what I'm doing. Here's what we're going to do. And here's when it should

00:10:06.900 pay off. The other thing, stop running against 2021. You could be entirely right about how we

00:10:15.900 got here and still lose because nobody's asked who broke it. We know who broke it, but that's

00:10:21.900 beyond the point. Who's going to fix it? Talk about housing. It's the number one concern of

00:10:29.100 Americans under 35 and men under 50. The very people who came out two years ago and are now

00:10:35.460 being told, be patient, be patient. Be patient for what? Tell me how you're going to fix it.

00:10:42.080 A 28-year-old who can't ever imagine owning a home is not a polling problem. That's a citizen

00:10:48.800 and losing faith in the whole arrangement.

00:10:53.220 I know we have, but somebody better start expressing a better answer.

00:10:58.180 And here they are.

00:10:59.140 Build. Permit.

00:11:00.520 Get the hell out of the way.

00:11:02.400 Get the government out of the way.

00:11:04.360 Let people fix things.

00:11:07.240 Talk about energy like it's the price of everything, because it is.

00:11:11.260 The freight, the fertilizer, the food, the flight home for Christmas.

00:11:16.240 It's everything.

00:11:18.800 Do you know that the Republican in Michigan running against Al Saeed, Mike Rogers is his name, he's running ads of him in a hard hat in a factory pointing at things that you can't see on the screen while shaking his head as if he's listening to the guy from the plant in the other hard hat.

00:11:37.400 I got to tell you, what is it, 1985?

00:11:40.780 I am so sick and tired of this.

00:11:42.800 Here's what you need to do.

00:11:44.100 Show up.

00:11:45.560 Listen first and then respond like a real human being.

00:11:49.360 Mean what you say and say what you mean.

00:11:51.920 People will forgive almost anything from people who actually show up and say,

00:11:56.900 I screwed that up.

00:12:00.320 You know, I got to tell you, some of us saw this a long way off.

00:12:03.140 You were in this fight in 2016.

00:12:04.580 you you were probably standing in a parking lot with a homemade sign with your children in 2010

00:12:10.860 you remember saying out loud they're a radical islamist who mean every word they say there's 0.56

00:12:18.160 marxists inside our own institutions who mean every word and you remember the laughter from 0.58

00:12:23.620 everybody you're paranoid you're fringe sit down oh red scare well they're here now and they're not

00:12:30.540 hiding. And they'll tell you their name. They'll tell you what they believe. They'll tell you

00:12:35.060 exactly what they intend to do with this country. They put it on a website. They say it into a

00:12:41.440 microphone and a camera smiling. And you're tired and you're discouraged. I know. You've

00:12:52.080 been let down by people who've had your vote and then squandered it.

00:13:00.540 understand what that is.

00:13:05.120 They don't have to,

00:13:06.340 they no longer have to change your mind.

00:13:12.740 They only have to stop breaking our heart, honestly,

00:13:15.640 because they do it.

00:13:16.380 They break your heart over and over and over again.

00:13:20.700 And when they break your heart,

00:13:22.000 then they break your will.

00:13:24.540 They break you down.

00:13:27.400 And somebody who is tired and discouraged,

00:13:30.080 They don't have to be beaten.

00:13:31.680 Their discouragement beats it.

00:13:39.700 I want to tell you about a country that had every reason to quit.

00:13:44.180 Every reason to quit.

00:13:46.040 And I'll show you the way out because we've been here before in 60 seconds.

00:13:49.940 First, our sponsor is Real Estate Agents.

00:13:52.380 If there's one thing I hope I've earned from you, it is...

00:13:55.760 I hate even saying this because I never asked for your trust.

00:13:58.500 because anybody who asks you for your trust, I don't know.

00:14:01.380 I don't trust them, but hopefully I've earned the benefit of the doubt.

00:14:08.100 Not that you always will agree with me, and I certainly hope that you don't,

00:14:12.080 but when I put my name behind something, I've taken that seriously.

00:14:15.600 It's the reason I started the whole realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:14:18.620 This is my company, and the name is a promise.

00:14:22.740 That's why I named it that.

00:14:23.920 I wanted everybody to remember in the company, this is the real estate agent that Glenn says he trusts.

00:14:32.300 Make sure that it is somebody Glenn can say to somebody, I trust this person.

00:14:39.000 So we work really hard.

00:14:41.480 And this is one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

00:14:43.920 And if you're trying to sell your home or you're trying to buy a home, you need somebody that you can trust that knows the area, knows the market, knows how to negotiate, knows how to sell a house in this market.

00:14:53.420 knows how to buy a house in this market, you know.

00:14:59.400 And in the end, you go, that was fair.

00:15:02.760 That was good.

00:15:04.100 You looked out for me.

00:15:05.120 Thank you.

00:15:06.160 I'm glad I trusted you.

00:15:08.840 Realestateagentsitrust.com will show you the right way to do it.

00:15:13.460 We'll introduce you to the people who you can trust as well

00:15:16.820 because we've vetted them.

00:15:18.680 We know them.

00:15:19.680 We watch them every single day.

00:15:21.220 realestateagentsitrust.com, realestateagentsitrust.com, 10-second station ID.

00:15:38.240 Okay, so let me tell you what happened in 1939. There were two dictators sitting in a room in

00:15:43.760 Moscow, and they carved up Europe on a piece of paper. And they attached to that treaty a secret

00:15:51.200 map and on the wrong side of it were three small nations in the baltic sea they were never conquered

00:15:56.800 in war they were just traded in a back room by men who had never been there okay then came 50

00:16:02.900 years of it their flags illegal their songs illegal their farmers and their teachers and

00:16:07.640 their pastors put on trains in the middle of the night and when they said we know what you did

00:16:15.460 there's a document moscow said there's no document there's no you're imagining this

00:16:19.820 In the summer of 1988, the Estonians began gathering in a field outside their capital where their grandparents had held song festivals for a century, and they sang the illegal songs night after night.

00:16:33.520 Something close to a quarter of the entire country was standing in fields and singing.

00:16:38.720 August 23rd, 1989

00:16:42.380 50 years to the day

00:16:44.260 since those two men signed

00:16:46.680 two million people in three countries

00:16:49.300 walked out of their houses

00:16:50.640 and they held hands

00:16:52.300 a line of human beings

00:16:55.060 400 miles long

00:16:58.260 did you know this?

00:17:01.440 it's 1989, no weapons

00:17:03.280 nobody on a stage

00:17:04.240 grandmas, farmers, children

00:17:06.260 just shoulder to shoulder

00:17:08.560 all across the highway, everybody holding hands, no gap.

00:17:13.080 Four months later, Moscow admitted, okay, that document was real.

00:17:17.160 Two years after that, all three were free, and they never fired a shot. 0.52

00:17:22.000 They didn't out-argue an empire.

00:17:24.640 They out-showed an empire.

00:17:28.620 A chain like that has no strong link.

00:17:33.740 It just has enough hands, or it doesn't.

00:17:36.680 every single person on that road was the whole thing that's you that's this find it again

00:17:48.280 whatever it was that got you off the couch the first time this is never going to be clean a

00:17:53.980 republic never is that's the entire reason franklin said i'm giving you a republic if you

00:17:59.300 can keep it because keeping it is hard it's messy it's full of switchbacks and disappointments

00:18:04.640 and people who let you down.

00:18:07.400 And this is still the finest thing human beings have ever built,

00:18:11.040 even with all those problems.

00:18:13.500 And it's worth every bit of the trouble.

00:18:18.860 How many of us are determined to keep it?

00:18:22.180 I mean determined to keep it.

00:18:24.880 Determined to be free.

00:18:29.120 To lightly paraphrase JFK,

00:18:32.420 so ask not whether they've earned your vote ask whether your children have earned your courage

00:18:40.660 you are the one that will make the difference here not a consultant not a war room you

00:18:48.300 do one thing find one person who isn't planning on vote one person who says nah i can't vote for

00:18:55.920 these clowns anymore remind them what it was like two years ago remind them there is one guy who's

00:19:01.780 listening to you doing his best in there every day trying to get it done all alone against all odds 0.73

00:19:09.160 who's changed your life and your outlook from two years ago and he's about to be completely alone

00:19:17.080 and you not showing up what are you going to do he's already alone he's already got everybody

00:19:23.080 now you're going to put sharks in the water all around him

00:19:26.400 get them to vote get them to commit not i'll think about it not a day a time a ride

00:19:36.980 we're going together find that person find the hand next to you and take it and then go

00:19:46.620 I'm so sick of these people

00:19:52.840 It's like they don't care as much as you do

00:19:55.300 It's like this is a game to them

00:19:57.720 It's not a game to me and it's not a game to you

00:20:01.140 It's not even our job

00:20:06.100 It's our honor

00:20:09.260 It's our duty

00:20:11.700 It's our hope for our children

00:20:16.340 anybody who is playing the game

00:20:22.540 just tell them

00:20:26.460 pipe down

00:20:28.220 pipe down

00:20:31.340 this isn't a game

00:20:32.320 this is not a contest

00:20:34.700 this is not a punishment

00:20:36.000 who are you punishing?

00:20:39.180 who are you punishing Republicans?

00:20:42.600 well I don't like that they didn't put John Cornyn in

00:20:45.360 And so I'm not going to.

00:20:47.260 Who is punished here?

00:20:51.660 The people.

00:20:55.300 And if the people lose, the country loses.

00:20:59.540 You disenfranchise us more.

00:21:02.580 There's nothing left.

00:21:04.900 Have you seen what's happening to us?

00:21:07.600 Next hour, I'm going to talk to you about what's happening with men and women. 1.00

00:21:11.320 They are being divided by this stupid murder case. 1.00

00:21:15.360 in Boston. And now men are starting to look at women going, I don't know if I can trust you. 1.00

00:21:20.880 Are you going to kill my kids? Everything has been turned against each other. Everybody is

00:21:27.300 suspecting one another. There's not going to be a country left. Recognize that. This is a choice

00:21:35.900 each of us makes in our own lives. You're either going to be part of that game or you're going to

00:21:42.560 be part of solving it. And boy, it is so hard to vote for these people because they have wasted

00:21:52.140 two years. But what is your alternative? I, for one, would like another two years

00:22:04.240 before the Marxists come marching in. Because if you don't think the Red-Green Alliance is real,

00:22:11.360 I think you might be beyond help. 0.99

00:22:16.960 But keep listening for a while.

00:22:18.600 We'll show you the receipts because they're everywhere.

00:22:22.980 That's what's really going on.

00:22:25.480 That's what that speech was really all about.

00:22:28.960 Now, let me take on something lighter, kind of.

00:22:33.020 Next.

00:22:34.080 First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

00:22:45.580 the house. I can put something comfortable on. I can get into bed early. Nobody is expecting me

00:22:52.060 anywhere because I've just canceled it. It's like somebody handed you three full hours of your life

00:24:05.700 so ryan reynolds a canadian i'm sorry i just had to throw in ryan reynolds has come out and i love

00:24:22.400 ryan reynolds he's hysterical but please don't don't wreck it by talking politics ryan here he

00:24:28.060 is about the 1980s listen to his take on the 1980s what's interesting about when you get far enough

00:24:33.900 away from a time period that's quite distinct i think there's always a lovely feeling associated

00:24:39.120 with it's almost like you pave over all the trauma with like puppy dogs and ice cream

00:24:42.240 and the 80s was a brutal brutal time for people it was mess and like you know people forget that

00:24:49.100 it was like that was a tremendous strife socio-political tensions everywhere you know

00:24:54.180 we're still like pretty fresh off like a cuban missile crisis which is only like what 15 20 years

00:24:58.580 before so you know it's a it's a tumultuous period but you look back at it now and you're

00:25:04.180 like oh yeah Top Gun cocaine like no it was like a really scary so I think you know I think when

00:25:10.420 you look back at 2026 and this era I think you're gonna like pick on the big ticket items that don't

00:25:15.920 really didn't really leave the footprint culturally that you would think it would like I don't know

00:25:21.280 so much of the aughts were like like a mix of all the decades previous whereas the decades previous

00:25:26.940 were their own thing so i don't know i wonder what it's gonna be it's gonna be like a oh the

00:25:31.700 covid era or something i have no idea no you're probably right it'll be rose colored glasses

00:25:35.660 of course this we are living in the freaking salad days right now we just don't know it

00:25:40.180 and interesting point of view look um he's probably right because you always look back

00:25:47.080 on things years later and go oh those were the good old days um and he's right about the 80s

00:25:53.260 were tough but let me give you another point of view here before i get to the tough part of the

00:25:58.040 80s let me give you another point of view say it's saturday 1984 garage door is open the radio

00:26:04.320 is on somebody's mother is standing on a porch two houses down hollering a name you know at

00:26:09.760 the end of the dusk that's how we know where children were that's you know before there was

00:26:14.520 there was no way to locate children except for moms out going glenn okay there was one phone

00:26:21.020 It was in the kitchen. It was on the wall. It was in a color that they don't make anymore. I don't

00:26:25.420 even know what that color is. The cord was long enough to reach into the pantry or into a closet,

00:26:30.760 which was really the only place where every important conversation in America could take

00:26:35.340 place. Nobody knows where you are. Nobody's worried about it. You'll be home when the

00:26:40.920 streetlights come on. Friday, you stand in front of a wall of video boxes for 40 minutes,

00:26:46.500 and all the ones you want,

00:26:48.780 even the one number five, number six,

00:26:50.340 if you were too late, all checked out.

00:26:51.840 So you take home something worse

00:26:53.280 and you're like, okay, I guess I'm going to like it.

00:26:56.420 And Saturday, you sit with your finger

00:26:58.660 on the record button,

00:27:01.040 waiting for the DJ to quit talking

00:27:03.040 if you were young enough

00:27:03.960 so you could steal a song off the radio.

00:27:06.780 God, that guy always talks too long.

00:27:08.720 So you get his voice on the tape forever

00:27:10.480 and 40 years later,

00:27:11.560 that's the version you hear in your head.

00:27:15.220 And on a Monday night,

00:27:16.500 February 1983, 106 million Americans sit down and watch the last episode of MASH.

00:27:25.120 Not 106 million across the season, 106 million people on one night.

00:27:33.560 More than half the country are all doing at the same hour watching the same helicopter lift off the same hill.

00:27:41.140 And the next morning, there was nothing to catch up on

00:27:45.060 because everybody had already seen it.

00:27:47.980 And I got to tell you, I miss that more than I can tell you.

00:27:52.920 But let me tell you something else that was going on on that street.

00:27:55.600 About 25,000 Americans were killed by drunk drivers.

00:27:59.640 And that was a punchline.

00:28:01.860 It was a bit comedians did.

00:28:04.320 A man could be arrested for it four times and still have a license in his wallet.

00:28:08.080 And almost nobody wore a seatbelt.

00:28:10.780 Seatbelts?

00:28:11.320 I still have a hard time wearing a seatbelt

00:28:12.920 because I grew up in the 70s.

00:28:14.460 Seatbelts?

00:28:16.120 Fewer than one in six.

00:28:18.160 Kids rode loose in the bed of a pickup.

00:28:20.800 I was one of them.

00:28:22.740 Some of us didn't make it home.

00:28:24.300 We moved on.

00:28:28.060 Crack came into cities.

00:28:30.020 Took a decade of men with it.

00:28:32.820 A disease showed up this country couldn't say out loud for years.

00:28:35.920 Men died in hospital rooms where they were left

00:28:38.020 with a food tray outside their door.

00:28:40.360 all alone. And under all of it ran the hum that never shut off, which was everybody's

00:28:46.860 private understanding that the whole thing could be over in about 19 minutes.

00:28:54.260 It was November 1983. Something close to 100 million people watched a made-for-TV movie about

00:29:00.660 a nuclear attack on Kansas. And then a lot of us sat up in the dark.

00:29:06.640 some can still tell you what chair they were sitting in when they watched it same decade

00:29:14.740 same street same summer the 3rd of may 1980 a 13 year old girl named carrie leitner walking to

00:29:22.840 church to a church carnival with a friend in fair oaks california car came up behind her driver was

00:29:30.860 drunk. He didn't stop. He was a repeat offender. Been out on bail for two days from another hit and

00:29:37.400 run. Somebody official had told her mother the man would probably not do any real time.

00:29:45.200 That wasn't cruelty. That's just how it worked back then. Candy Lightner had never registered

00:29:51.600 to vote in her life. She sold real estate. Four days later, her daughter was killed. 0.63

00:29:56.740 One day after the funeral, she started an organization at her kitchen table.

00:30:00.580 Four years later, she stood next to the president of the United States

00:30:03.600 where he signed the bill that raised the drinking age in all 50 states.

00:30:07.820 $25,000 a year is now around $10,000, and we drive twice the miles now.

00:30:16.160 Do the math, and it comes out to a stadium full of people who are having dinner tonight

00:30:21.040 because one mother said, no, you know, that's just how it works.

00:30:25.260 No, that's not how it works anymore.

00:30:29.220 You know, in the early 80s, there were three men at a British base at the bottom of the world

00:30:34.820 pointing an old instrument to the sky over Antarctica, writing down how much ozone was up there.

00:30:41.120 One spring, they wrote the number, and it came back wrong.

00:30:45.340 Not a little wrong.

00:30:46.860 A third of it was gone.

00:30:48.940 They didn't call a press conference.

00:30:50.560 They assumed their instrument was broken because, I mean, that's what a careful man assumes.

00:30:54.340 first it's broken so they get a second instrument same number they waited an entire season to see

00:31:00.960 if it would happen again then they waited another one and then they finally published and everybody

00:31:06.260 went back and looked at the satellite data and this they've been seeing it the satellite had

00:31:10.900 been seeing it for years the readings were so far below anything anyone expected that they had

00:31:15.980 They had been, they'd set it aside because it was probably equipment.

00:31:23.300 The machine had been telling this number and everybody went, that's got to be a mistake.

00:31:30.320 Two years after that, a paper.

00:31:34.020 Every country on earth signed that paper.

00:31:37.340 Montreal Protocol.

00:31:38.660 Every one.

00:31:39.600 there's not another treaty in the history of the United Nations

00:31:44.260 that every single nation ratified

00:31:47.100 and the whole is closing slowly

00:31:49.400 on schedule

00:31:50.980 it's closing

00:31:53.800 it's gone

00:31:54.880 so it wasn't better

00:31:58.900 it was actually more dangerous

00:32:03.320 we're safer today than we were then

00:32:05.560 we were more poisoned in some ways

00:32:08.780 Although, let's check the food now.

00:32:11.260 We're more frightened than the country we are standing in right now

00:32:14.860 because most people are afraid to even look at it.

00:32:17.120 Most news organizations are denying the problems even exist.

00:32:21.540 So not enough people are awake to the problems and how big these problems are.

00:32:28.200 And the 80s feel better because it's finished.

00:32:30.260 We know the ending.

00:32:32.360 We know the ending.

00:32:33.580 It ended safely.

00:32:38.780 but something was there that isn't now, and it isn't the mall.

00:32:46.860 106 million people watched the same show.

00:32:49.740 When a story broke, it came out.

00:32:51.400 All of us watched it from three different men in suits,

00:32:56.360 and whatever you concluded about it, you were arguing over the same set of facts.

00:33:00.840 Candy Leitner could go on television one time and reach the country.

00:33:06.280 She couldn't do that today. 0.97

00:33:08.780 today she'd reach her slice and then other slices get told that she's a hysteric with an agenda 1.00

00:33:16.380 and a lot would be handed you know a reason not to listen to a mom whose daughter was just killed

00:33:22.640 walking in a church carnival we're not better people we had fewer instruments that's it everybody

00:33:29.500 has his own instrument now do you know that over 30 percent of americans now say they're an

00:33:34.600 influencer or a podcaster, 30% give it a rest. I think we're a little out of control with our

00:33:43.780 egos. 30% are influencers. Wow. We all have our own feet, our own numbers, our own weather.

00:33:53.840 And the trouble with your own instrument is that nobody ever comes along and says,

00:33:57.340 I think that might be broken.

00:34:00.540 Those men at the bottom,

00:34:02.620 those men who stood at the bottom of the world,

00:34:06.900 got it right because they didn't trust themselves.

00:34:09.440 They weren't trying to be influencers.

00:34:12.240 They went and they got a second instrument

00:34:13.920 and they checked the reading against somebody else's

00:34:16.320 before they believe their own eyes.

00:34:18.100 I don't want 1984 back.

00:34:20.220 I've seen the numbers.

00:34:21.180 I'll keep it at 2026.

00:34:23.260 I just want the instrument back.

00:34:25.180 I want the other guy in the room

00:34:27.560 I want the person who says

00:34:29.540 hold on, hold on, mine says something different

00:34:31.600 let's look again and you do it together

00:34:33.520 that's not nostalgia

00:34:34.780 that's an appointment, that's Sunday dinner

00:34:37.660 that's a pew, that's a bleacher

00:34:39.300 that's a driveway, that's one neighbor

00:34:41.580 you disagree with and you like

00:34:43.660 them anyway

00:34:44.500 we've always had problems

00:34:50.220 we've always had big problems

00:34:51.980 they seem lighter now because we got

00:34:55.160 through them and we saw we solved them and we solved them together you imagine how scary the

00:35:01.220 60s were when everybody was being shot when the communists were in the streets just like they are

00:35:10.600 now everything's coming undone we're losing a major war our whole identity everything that

00:35:18.300 world war ii was about is being flushed down the toilet you imagine how frightening that was

00:35:22.860 but we know the God era came after that the Jesus revolution somehow or another we solved it and

00:35:32.160 then we got into the 70s when the economy was stopping and New York was failing and Jimmy

00:35:38.600 Carter was carrying his own luggage and helicopters were burning in the Middle East

00:35:42.900 and yet we got through it and then we got the Reagan era where everybody believed we were

00:35:50.800 going to blow the entire world up, but we got through it.

00:35:55.860 We're going to get through this, but we're not going to get through this if we don't

00:36:00.100 hold on to each other, and we don't hold on to the things that we all have in common.

00:36:05.940 The good things, the family, the friendships.

00:36:18.160 The streetlights are on.

00:36:21.800 But come home.

00:36:25.400 Come home.

00:38:08.840 Glenn Beck is back in a minute.

00:38:25.720 Shelly says, you know, we need the American hockey team miracle again.

00:38:30.020 I forgot about that.

00:38:30.900 That was the greatest thing in spite of everything that, you know, was going on.

00:38:34.580 We need to make every day a miracle.

00:38:36.360 You know, we've had that.

00:38:37.760 We've had that. I think we had those miracles happen this last summer.

00:38:42.880 Have you already forgotten what it felt like with all of the people coming over here for the World Cup and what they were saying about us?

00:38:50.040 That wasn't Team USA, a team winning on the ice.

00:38:54.360 That was the actual Team USA, the actual people of America winning the nations of the world.

00:39:02.360 They would come over. They came over here and they were like, my gosh, this is a great country.

00:39:06.900 What is everybody in my country talking about?

00:39:09.420 This is the greatest country ever.

00:39:11.740 We had that win.

00:39:13.260 We had it.

00:39:15.460 David writes in, I would hang out in a classroom at school on Friday night, wait for drunk high schoolers to call needing a ride home.

00:39:23.560 Students Against Drunk Driving was my chance to hang out with cute girls and watch John Hughes movies.

00:39:31.720 That's fabulous.

00:39:33.920 Chuck, phone booths instead of cell phones.

00:39:36.580 We actually talked to each other.

00:39:38.080 We didn't have our faces buried in a cell phone.

00:39:40.600 You know, this is one of the things that really kills me.

00:39:44.300 One, go to a concert and watch.

00:39:46.320 Is anybody actually watching the concert?

00:39:48.700 You watching the stage or are you watching the screen?

00:39:50.900 Because that will be your memory.

00:39:53.880 Your memory will be seeing it on the screen instead of seeing it in person.

00:40:00.140 You know, so many people, when I get a chance to meet people,

00:40:05.600 I'm so flattered that people even want to take a picture with me.

00:40:09.300 But they're so flustered, I've got to kind of take this picture,

00:40:12.340 and they get flustered with their phone,

00:40:13.560 and they're concentrating on their phone to take the picture,

00:40:15.540 and the two minutes that we might have has now gone to,

00:40:21.440 I've got to figure out my phone because I've got to get this picture.

00:40:24.940 And, you know, I wonder, and I'm like that too.

00:40:28.180 I see something.

00:40:28.820 I'm like, I got to get a picture of that, you know.

00:40:30.860 But I think we might have gone too far.

00:40:32.560 The picture of taking pictures of our food, I mean, I don't really, I don't understand that one.

00:40:41.140 I don't.

00:40:42.960 Deb, government didn't have such a strong hold on the people yet in the 80s.

00:40:46.440 Small businesses still existed.

00:40:48.000 Butcher shops thrived.

00:40:49.160 Playgrounds still existed.

00:40:50.400 Boy Scouts were still based on family values.

00:40:52.460 Teachers acted like professionals.

00:40:54.040 True.

00:40:55.240 Husker Girl, in the 1980s, almost everybody in my grade went to church.

00:40:59.380 I miss that.

00:41:00.860 Constitution Abiding Citizen, three broadcast channel news were only curated news,

00:41:05.280 not necessarily a higher occurrence of truth.

00:41:08.300 Absolutely true.

00:41:09.700 Absolutely true.

00:41:12.740 We know a lot more today.

00:41:15.320 What?

00:41:16.260 And I'm grateful, but I don't know if it's a great trade.

00:41:21.080 Glenn Beck is on.

00:41:24.280 300,000 in metric tons of foreign ground beef are about to come into the United States without the normal tariff.

00:41:31.860 That's a huge amount of beef.

00:41:33.680 And here's the part that bothers me.

00:41:35.340 When that beef ends up at the grocery store, you have no way of knowing which country it came from.

00:41:40.040 I'm all for buying beef for my family, but I want to know where it came from.

00:41:44.180 That's why I like Good Ranchers.

00:43:07.480 of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck

00:43:18.120 is there is something to be discussed that is way beyond lindsey clancy but lindsey clancy

00:43:30.200 is the thing that is exposing it um and it is this loss of women um to something that's i called

00:43:42.280 identification through intimacy, which means I've suffered something like this, so I see her,

00:43:48.540 I can identify. Mangione was the same thing. Identification through grievance. I've been

00:43:54.340 mistreated by institutions like this, so therefore I understand him. Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean

00:44:01.220 you become fans of them. You might understand them, but we are now nothing but these identities,

00:44:10.040 And what's really frightening is it's happening to women.

00:44:13.500 And Bethany Miller is going to be with us.

00:44:16.400 She is National Religious Broadcaster Director of Communication.

00:44:20.420 She's just written something I think is really, really good on this that we need to talk about.

00:44:26.900 Because it's something I talked about, oh, I don't even know, 15 years ago. 1.00

00:44:30.720 I said, you know, once you harden women, your culture is completely lost. 1.00

00:44:35.540 Men only behave because women tell them. 1.00

00:44:39.080 settle down, knock it off, grow up. I mean, we listen to our mothers, and quite honestly,

00:44:45.260 whether we like it or not, we listen to our wives. But if our wives are just as coarse as we are, 1.00

00:44:51.180 then it's just a spiral into garbage cans. Women play a really important role, 1.00

00:44:59.780 and they have always been softer than men. Remember, we are the hunters, we're the gatherers, 1.00

00:45:04.040 We're the warriors. Women are supposed to be the nurturers. And it has been turned upside down and inside out. And now women are excusing things like shout your abortion or, yeah, I can feel her pain. And so, yeah, she killed her kids. 1.00

00:45:24.180 um yeah we have to make sure that uh that we understand what's happening right now in our

00:45:33.440 culture and i'm gonna i'm gonna give you three stories that are kind of connected but i'm gonna

00:46:59.420 for details about credit costs and terms. Let me take you back to June. It's June. It's a gated

00:47:05.400 community outside Williamsburg, Virginia. There's a five-year-old boy named Sam. He asked his mom,

00:47:11.660 can I walk back to the pond and collect more goose feathers? It's half a mile. Sidewalk's

00:47:16.780 the whole way. Ten feet of grass between him and the street, posted at 25. Two crosswalks.

00:47:23.160 He had crossed them six times that morning, and his mom said, yeah, I'm going to go in and make

00:47:28.060 lunch. She was eight months pregnant with her fifth child, and she was studying for the bar

00:47:32.620 exam. This is a mom who cares deeply. Well, a passerby sees the boy, calls security. A guard

00:47:40.260 walks him home, tells him on the way that bad people would want to take him. Now, I want you

00:47:45.640 to know, believe it or not, the stats show your children are more safe today on our streets in

00:47:51.620 America than ever before. I know it doesn't feel that way, but it's true. So then the guard calls

00:47:59.900 the police. Three squad cars come. Three. Two workers from the Child Protective Services.

00:48:06.740 Now, Carrie Ann Parkinson, she's the mom, 1.00

00:48:10.540 she was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

00:48:15.760 CPS substantiated a neglect finding

00:48:19.320 and put her on Virginia's Child Abuse and Neglect Registry.

00:48:24.440 She's going to be there on that for seven years.

00:48:28.320 Last week, a judge convicted her. 0.83

00:48:30.980 Six months in jail suspended.

00:48:35.840 Okay. Really? She assumes it means she can no longer volunteer at her children's school.

00:48:42.640 She doesn't know yet whether she'll ever be able to get her law license now. She attends William

00:48:47.420 and Mary. She summers as an intern in the office of a state senator who co-sponsored Virginia's

00:48:53.980 reasonable childhood independence law, the one defining neglect as serious, obvious danger.

00:49:00.400 This is not one of those things. It passed the legislature unanimously in 2023.

00:49:06.120 When her husband told the officials at the door the children need reasonable risk in order to grow up unafraid,

00:49:11.640 he said the answer came back that a five-year-old can never be unsupervised. Ever? Ever?

00:49:19.900 The same week in Plymouth, Mass., 12 other people are trying to decide what happened to a mother named Lindsay Clancy.

00:49:28.280 80 witnesses, 300 exhibits, five days of deliberation, roughly 30 hours.

00:49:35.580 Twice they've told the judge, we can't agree.

00:49:40.240 Yesterday he read them the, I think they call it the Dynamite Act.

00:49:46.960 The Dynamite Charge.

00:49:48.980 You got one more chance.

00:49:50.080 You got to do it.

00:49:50.780 They're going to send you back.

00:49:52.540 Because nobody's going to decide this.

00:49:54.400 Nobody's going to have better chances of deciding this than you.

00:49:56.800 Go back and decide it.

00:49:58.220 One more time.

00:49:59.120 Try.

00:50:01.700 One country, one week in Virginia, the state knows precisely what a mother owes to her child down to the crosswalk.

00:50:10.000 And in Massachusetts, they can't decide murder in 30 hours.

00:50:16.520 Now, there's another story going around this week meant to settle the second question with real confidence, okay?

00:50:24.420 And it's a story that happened in 1954 in Waterville, Maine.

00:50:27.920 It was a story about a 24-year-old girl named Constant Fisher.

00:50:32.180 She drowned her three children, Richard, Daniel, and Deborah, and then tried to take her own life.

00:50:37.220 Her husband, Carl, comes home, again, 1954, from the railroad shop and found the door locked.

00:50:44.580 She had left a note saying God had told her to save them from evil.

00:50:48.420 Well, she spent five years in a state hospital in Augusta.

00:50:51.820 1959, she's released to Carl.

00:50:54.080 They move to a house that he built in Fairfield.

00:50:57.220 They had three more children in the summer of 1966.

00:51:00.500 Carl comes home, finds the children dead, all three of them the same way.

00:51:06.520 The youngest was nine months old.

00:51:09.480 Now, every version of this being shared this week carries the same moral.

00:51:13.100 America felt sorry for a mom and the children died for it.

00:51:18.460 That's not what happened.

00:51:20.120 That's not what happened.

00:51:21.180 If you want to read that and just get all of your news from somebody else's feed, fine, but you're going to get it wrong because that's not the record.

00:51:29.240 The moral is wrong.

00:51:31.860 Constance Fisher, she was never tried in 1954.

00:51:37.000 No verdict, no jury, no mercy because there was no trial.

00:51:41.680 The examiners found her unfit to stand trial, so she was committed right away.

00:51:46.320 Nobody forgave her.

00:51:47.340 Nobody was asked to.

00:51:49.600 You know, she didn't get out because anyone's heart had softened.

00:51:52.500 Carl had petitioned for her release in 1955, and the hospital's medical board said,

00:51:57.740 are you crazy too?

00:52:00.260 But she walked out four years later. 0.89

00:52:02.040 Why?

00:52:03.240 The reason wasn't because of sympathy. 0.95

00:52:06.360 It was a national campaign to empty the hospitals. 0.99

00:52:10.040 A policy let her out.

00:52:11.800 Not a jury, not a judge, not a feeling, not sympathy, none of that.

00:52:15.920 It was a policy, and a policy that had a long tail behind it.

00:52:21.620 We have been here before.

00:52:25.440 Take you back one more step.

00:52:28.060 1841, 28th of March, 1841, school teacher went to jail in East Cambridge 0.80

00:52:33.300 to teach Sunday school to the women locked up inside.

00:52:41.820 Her name was Dorothea Dix.

00:52:44.340 She was 39.

00:52:45.480 She had been born in Maine. 0.99

00:52:47.620 Now, some of those women had committed no crime. 1.00

00:52:50.760 They were insane. 1.00

00:52:52.400 Or somebody said they were insane. 0.98

00:52:54.460 And the country had nowhere else to put them.

00:52:56.440 So they were housed with felons.

00:52:59.940 When she gets there, the room has no stove. 1.00

00:53:02.920 Dick's ass about it. 1.00

00:53:04.220 She's told the insane don't feel the cold. 1.00

00:53:07.460 She spent the next 18 months walking into every jail and alms house in Massachusetts with a notebook.

00:53:13.140 She wasn't arguing. She was just counting. In January of 1843, she handed the legislator what she had written down. She told them she had come to call their attention to insane persons confined within the Commonwealth in cages, closets, cellars, stalls, pins, chained, naked, beaten with rods.

00:53:32.240 And then she named all the towns.

00:53:35.360 They built.

00:53:37.720 And she went to the next state, and they built there.

00:53:39.840 And she traveled to tens of thousands of places and cities and tens of thousands of miles.

00:53:46.560 Hospital after hospital went up because one woman with a notebook made it impossible to keep not knowing.

00:53:55.120 In 1854, she gets to Congress.

00:53:57.520 Both houses pass a bill setting aside more than 12 million acres of federal land, 10 million of it for the care of the insane and the poor.

00:54:07.260 Sell the land, run the hospitals on the proceeds.

00:54:10.320 But on the 3rd of May, President Franklin Pierce vetoed it.

00:54:13.800 He said he was compelled to resist the sympathies of his own heart. 0.99

00:54:18.620 His reasoning was constitutional.

00:54:20.160 He said if Washington can provide for the insane poor, it can provide for all of the poor.

00:54:26.800 And that has to be done by the states, not the federal government.

00:54:30.200 Now, serious people still think he was right.

00:54:32.600 I think he was right.

00:54:34.300 As Vito held that line for 80 years until the Depression broke it.

00:54:38.460 The Depression breaks it.

00:54:41.800 Now, understand what all this means on the ground.

00:54:47.280 Every asylum in America would be a state asylum funded by a state legislature

00:54:53.480 in whatever year that legislature felt generous.

00:54:57.940 When they didn't feel generous, unfunded systems don't stay merciful.

00:55:03.260 They get crowded, and then they get very cruel.

00:55:06.200 And by the 50s, the hospitals that Dix had built

00:55:09.200 held far more people than they could treat.

00:55:11.640 The peak came in 1955.

00:55:14.520 558,922 Americans in state mental hospitals on a single count.

00:55:21.440 You've seen the movies of what these hospitals were like.

00:55:23.840 And Constance Fishers was in that system at the high watermark.

00:55:28.300 Four years later, they began saying, we got to clear people out.

00:55:32.660 Today, those hospitals hold fewer than 40,000 beds in a country twice the size.

00:55:38.260 Nobody evaporated.

00:55:39.700 Roughly 2 million Americans with serious mental illness are booked into jail every single year.

00:55:44.020 We're doing exactly the same thing.

00:55:45.800 The largest mental health facilities in the United States are jails in our counties.

00:55:53.480 185 years and we're standing in the same room with no stove. 1.00

00:55:59.120 So let me put those two moms back on the table.

00:56:01.940 In Williamsburg, the state had enormous confidence and unlimited reach in a case where nothing happened at all.

00:56:10.800 In Plymouth, in Waterville, the state had almost no capacity where everything happened.

00:56:21.540 That's the trade we've made without voting for it.

00:56:24.820 We can't hold the dangerous, so we supervise the safe.

00:56:31.700 And notice what's doing all the work in all of it.

00:56:36.680 Not judgment, a category.

00:56:38.820 A five-year-old can never be unsupervised.

00:56:43.120 That's a category.

00:56:44.540 It doesn't require everybody meet Sam or watch him at the crosswalk or ask a mother one question.

00:56:50.780 It's cheaper than looking.

00:56:52.380 Any mother who does this must be sick is another category. 0.99

00:56:57.620 Any mother who does this must be evil is a category two. 0.99

00:57:04.480 I don't know if she's sick or she's evil. 0.95

00:57:06.700 I have no idea.

00:57:08.820 And I've watched people on my own side of the aisle spend a week explaining a woman they've never met using a case from Maine in 1954 they haven't read to reach a verdict.

00:57:19.580 Twelve people who sat through four weeks of testimony, they can't reach in 30 hours.

00:57:25.620 That's not toughness.

00:57:27.160 That's the same shortcut in a different coat.

00:57:32.520 Now, here's the thing about all these cases that actually bothers me.

00:57:35.540 It's not the sentences.

00:57:36.360 Only one of them gets a jury. 0.52

00:57:41.040 Carrie Ann Parkinson got a caseworker's finding, a registry entry, and a bench conviction.

00:57:48.260 Nobody had to be persuaded of anything.

00:57:51.520 Nobody was ever even required to look at her.

00:57:55.180 Lindsay Clancy gets 12 strangers who can't leave that room until they agree.

00:57:59.900 And after 30 hours, they still want to do the cheap thing.

00:58:06.360 You know, a guard who sees a small child alone shrugs and goes, nah, is not a good man.

00:58:15.400 And the neglect laws that exist because real neglect is real and children die of it, that's why they exist.

00:58:24.240 Fine.

00:58:25.740 But prove it about this child.

00:58:28.360 Bring the evidence about this child.

00:58:31.160 That's all a jury is.

00:58:32.580 the last institution in American life that forces somebody to look at one person before

00:58:38.680 deciding anything about them. Who are we? Are we a country that sent a woman into a jail

00:58:45.160 with a notebook and then built hospitals because she counted? Are we them? Who are we? A country 0.83

00:58:53.620 that closed the hospitals, kept the registry, got very good at supervising people who never

00:58:59.240 needed supervision?

00:59:01.600 Who are we becoming?

00:59:05.960 It isn't being decided

00:59:07.260 in Plymouth. It's being decided

00:59:08.680 by whether we're still willing to do the expensive

00:59:11.400 thing. Go look

00:59:12.680 at the actual person.

00:59:18.180 Dix's method is still

00:59:19.300 available. It still costs the same.

00:59:21.400 She didn't theorize about the insane.

00:59:23.280 She walked in, county by county. She wrote down

00:59:25.180 what she saw. 1.00

00:59:29.240 You know a good mother.

00:59:33.940 When somebody in your neighbors,

00:59:37.800 Virginia, I can't believe you would just shrug this off.

00:59:41.440 Nobody paid attention to a good mom.

00:59:45.980 Who is in your life that you need to see? 0.66

00:59:48.920 Who's in your life on your street, your family?

00:59:54.660 That might not be fine.

00:59:56.120 or might be fine, but it's under attack.

01:00:01.420 Let's go stand with them.

01:00:02.720 Let's go look at those people.

01:00:04.080 Not a text.

01:00:05.000 Let's go look at those people.

01:00:06.760 Let's sit with those people.

01:00:08.500 Let's pray with those people

01:00:09.980 because our actions are stronger than words

01:00:14.500 and what we do with our time

01:00:16.880 is what matters.

01:00:20.160 All right, let me tell you about Patreon Mobile.

01:00:22.140 There are hundreds of millions of cell phones in this country,

01:00:24.860 maybe even billions of them. It's an enormous industry. Everybody needs a wireless service,

01:00:30.540 and yet, in all of America, there's one wireless provider that openly says,

01:00:34.760 hey, we're Christian, we're conservative, we're for these values, and we're not ashamed of them.

01:00:40.260 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and to me,

01:00:44.300 that matters because they don't just put those words on a website. Patriot Mobile has donated

01:00:48.580 millions of dollars to organizations that are fighting for faith and family and freedom.

01:00:54.000 They're actively supporting the things you and I want and want to preserve.

01:01:00.600 And at the same time, they provide great wireless service with access to all three major networks.

01:01:05.140 You can keep your phone.

01:01:06.060 You can keep your number.

01:01:07.360 Their U.S.-based team is going to help you switch.

01:01:09.440 It's really super easy.

01:05:32.260 Bethany Miller is the Director of Communications

01:05:39.140 for the National Religious Broadcasters.

01:05:41.420 She is also the editor of The Conservator.

01:05:46.980 And she is also, she does opinion pieces for Daily Wire.

01:05:51.880 And she just did an opinion piece for us.

01:05:54.380 And it is so good.

01:05:56.160 This is such a well-thought-out and very concerning article about what we're seeing with Lindsay Clancy, Luigi Mangione, and women.

01:06:09.820 And so she's been talking to some of our producers.

01:06:12.980 We're friends, and I think it was Michaela said, you should write this article.

01:06:17.960 And so she did, and it's posted right now.

01:06:20.300 It just came out at glennbeck.com.

01:06:22.580 Bethany, welcome.

01:06:24.120 Thank you for this great think piece.

01:06:26.480 Do you want to explain it real quick on what your theory is on it?

01:06:30.740 Hey, Glenn.

01:06:31.280 Thanks for having me.

01:06:31.980 Yeah, essentially, I think we've all been wondering at the heart of all of these trials

01:06:35.480 is what is the state of American women today?

01:06:38.120 And I haven't been seeing anybody just report and talk about where did we get the mindset 0.98

01:06:42.980 of women?

01:06:43.380 And I do think that it has been brewing for decades.

01:06:46.660 I mean, from the millennial movement of the Me Too and the therapeutic culture, and my

01:06:52.420 truth is the only truth. This has been brewing from some time. And for those of us who are even

01:06:56.180 religious, this is a Garden of Eve problem. I mean, we know that women lean a certain way, 1.00

01:07:00.780 same with men, and we are gifted and fashioned in certain ways. And the secular politics can

01:07:06.480 weaponize a scene. We've seen masculinity and the topic of it get radicalized. Now we're seeing it 0.78

01:07:11.760 with women. And it started with the abortion conversation, and now it is growing. We're 0.79

01:07:15.920 seeing it with Lindsay Clancy. And again, over and over and over again, it's been,

01:07:19.760 why are women responding this way and instead of just jumping all the way pendulum swinging and

01:07:24.900 say okay well on the right we're going to say women can't vote i don't think that's going to

01:07:28.020 answer the problem because at the end of the day it's not a voting issue this is a cultural problem

01:07:31.100 because even if you were to take away the vote we're still going to have women 1.00

01:07:33.740 attempting to murder their children like i can't believe the day and age we live in but that is

01:07:38.200 exactly kind of the root of the problem i wrote about this in this piece just talking about how 0.96

01:07:41.720 women tend to weaponize what god made them to be true good and beautiful their empathy their 0.99

01:07:45.800 relational. And when they are using those things for good, it can be a powerful thing. But we're 1.00

01:07:50.520 seeing it today, and the left is capitalizing on it, manipulating women's lenses of empathy 0.75

01:07:55.160 and of relation, and in using that to get them to respond empathetically in a weaponized empathy

01:08:00.980 to what's happening with Lindsay Clancy. So instead of going, hey, what's black and white

01:08:04.880 here? This woman killed her children. Therefore, justice must be served. They're saying, hey, 1.00

01:08:08.820 actually, she struggled with postpartum depression and she was anxious. And so let's blame the man

01:08:13.780 or I can see myself in her. Therefore, me condemning her is condemning myself. And so

01:08:19.180 you see how that that is slowly being weaponized and it's all doing it for our culture and through

01:08:23.900 our media. So in my long form piece, I'm talking about exactly that and how that has formalized

01:08:28.780 in both the Lindsay Clancy trial and the Luigi Mangioni trial and how this has kind of been an

01:08:33.640 ancient problem. Yeah. I think one of the things that you talked about that really stood out to

01:08:37.460 me was the difference between um i understand you and i agree with you yeah and the blurring

01:08:45.680 of that line i mean that that's what has people you know holding newborns women holding newborns

01:08:51.720 and posting same lindsey or pushing pushing a stroller outside of her trial chanting that

01:08:57.660 she's innocent uh i mean it i mean i don't think guys are wrong to say wait a minute i i have to

01:09:05.560 ask you some more questions if we're serious about getting married how do you feel on this

01:09:10.080 because i you can clearly said and this is my standpoint i'm not i'm not in the trial room so

01:09:18.300 i don't know um justice has to be done but i also know there is you know mental illness is real

01:09:25.240 and i can understand because my mother went through really bad mental illness etc etc

01:09:30.340 and so i can understand her but that doesn't mean i agree with her and women seem to be going very

01:09:38.740 dark like luigi mangione that that is terrifying to me that they they're they're practically 0.99

01:09:46.180 throwing themselves at this murderer because they're like yeah well he's been abused by the

01:09:51.280 system and i've been abused by the system exactly and you know i've been seeing some reports come

01:09:56.540 out too saying a majority of women tune into true crime podcasts. A majority of women are reading

01:10:01.000 some types of fiction and fantasy. And so the state of our women today, this is the type of 0.86

01:10:05.720 entertainment and narratives that they inherit and consume on a daily basis. And that we've seen 0.98

01:10:11.220 kind of maybe weaponize the way that they're thinking about these things. And I talk a lot

01:10:14.740 about this. I'm Gen Z, but I'm like the last of the Gen Z cohort who has had a separation of

01:10:19.880 digital reality. So to me, I can see the online reality and I can see the actual physical reality.

01:10:25.000 And I think with social media being like we're seeing headlines about the Iranian war on X and on Instagram, and that's how we consume reality today.

01:10:33.040 I think that we are no longer seeing a separation of the two.

01:10:35.660 We can't see a difference between what is digital, what is real.

01:10:38.720 And then we've got you see AI and you're like, is that even real?

01:10:41.180 And so discernment, I even just think beyond just the gender wars, discernment is something we're losing as the American public of trying to figure out, think clearly and think black and white. 0.63

01:10:50.040 And it goes exactly back to then it gets weaponized with women even more so because they can't they can't go as far as saying, I understand what she's going through, but then can't stop and go. 0.61

01:11:00.200 But that can't affirm what she did. I don't know how many times we have to say on air.

01:11:04.280 I mean, everyone is saying it within the base, but she had to strangle each one of her children.

01:11:08.300 I I can't even like I had to turn the TV off when I was watching the trial and even hearing Patrick Clancy's 911 call, like hearing how it is just just how chilling that is. 1.00

01:11:17.460 But women can't seem to get in. I think if you were to talk to most of these women who make these TikTok videos, they probably aren't tuning into the full trial. And you'll notice that they're in the comments just wanting to come at you. They get so defensive and emotional. And it's it's it is completely just on. 0.96

01:11:31.120 So is this a performance? Is this itself mental illness? What what the hell is happening?

01:11:36.880 i think it i think it is i think it's also just in a time of identification i talked about this 0.94

01:11:43.380 in my article women want to identify with something they want to relate to something

01:11:46.520 they want to belong to something and i think they see that type of rallying around lindsey 0.65

01:11:51.620 which is why we're seeing rallies outside her court case because they're saying hey like with

01:11:55.600 the luigi case i've been like you said i've also been hurt by the health care system and this guy

01:12:00.400 what he did was heroic and because they're not seeing anything else they're not seeing anything

01:12:04.120 else with health care. So I think that's it. You're too young to remember this, but this is

01:12:09.340 exactly what happened with OJ Simpson. People wanted to send a message that blacks had been

01:12:16.300 mistreated, that blacks were always considered guilty. And so the black community rallied around 0.68

01:12:22.320 OJ Simpson, no matter what the trial evidence said. And later the jurors said, yeah, we did do

01:12:29.340 that. And I kind of regret it now, but they were wanting to send a message. Is, is that the same

01:12:33.940 thing that's happening here? I think it is. I think women for so long have felt that they're

01:12:38.840 not getting represented within postpartum specifically. And I think that's why we're

01:12:42.260 seeing so many women come out and support her. And they're saying, Hey, me too. Me too. It's

01:12:46.080 like, it's Glenn. It's the me too movement all over again. But when me too was launched, we

01:12:49.820 didn't have the digital age we have today. We've got tech talk and short form content, like no

01:12:53.660 other. I mean, it's the same. And that's why I wrote in my piece. It's the same thing. Like

01:12:57.300 ecclesiastes says there's nothing new under the sun it's the same narrative over and over and over

01:13:00.580 and again and if we don't correct this if we don't answer the cultural problem of this is the type of 0.73

01:13:04.980 this is women what we're dealing with this is how they think if we don't get ahead of this and if

01:13:09.220 the answer is only to just repeal the 19th this is not going to solve the problem this is not going

01:13:14.020 to solve the problem this is the cultural issue no we're not going to repeal the 19th um however

01:13:19.140 I will tell you that I don't know.

01:13:24.960 I wouldn't even begin to know how to date today if I were young.

01:13:29.320 I wouldn't know how to filter.

01:13:32.700 I wouldn't, you know, everything seems like it's a booby trap now for guys.

01:13:37.100 And, you know, when a guy can get in trouble for saying, hey, we're kind of serious now, we're thinking about marriage, where do you stand on this?

01:13:45.300 and for her to say, you know, I agree with her.

01:13:49.400 I think she's innocent and then be strident on it

01:13:53.420 instead of having a conversation like,

01:13:55.520 look, I think this is real and I don't know

01:13:57.820 because I'm not in the trial,

01:13:59.700 but I think this is real

01:14:01.220 and we just have to be really careful

01:14:02.480 and not being able to have any kind of nuance.

01:14:04.520 I got to tell you,

01:14:05.280 I would back away from that relationship immediately

01:14:07.740 because I don't know who you are.

01:14:10.940 I don't know, how are you even making decisions?

01:14:13.140 You don't know this for a fact.

01:14:15.760 And all of a sudden you're strident on this issue.

01:14:18.960 So I kind of, I agree with guys.

01:14:21.660 I think you're actually smart to say, yeah, I don't think I can be a relationship with

01:14:25.980 you anymore. 1.00

01:14:26.360 And I hate to say that because it's just breaking people up, but I don't know how to judge women 1.00

01:14:31.020 anymore.

01:14:32.600 Yeah, I'm with you on that.

01:14:34.260 And honestly, I'm grateful to see some young men step up and say this, I'm going to use

01:14:37.580 this as a litmus test to get a read on what my girlfriend is doing.

01:14:39.920 And so I'm grateful that young men are opening up to this.

01:14:42.840 I am grateful for the direction that young men are going and are responding in this way because it has become we've seen young men get radicalized and now we're seeing them go in the right direction.

01:14:51.440 And so I do think that what we've done with young men and seen them wake up to the chaos and see them, you know, vote in a certain way and then start returning to churches, whether it's Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant, whatever it may look like, that has been encouraging to see.

01:15:02.900 And I do think that it can happen with women, too.

01:15:05.100 I just think that swinging the pendulum on either side too far is not going to answer it.

01:15:09.300 And so it really is a deep and cultural problem.

01:15:12.080 but I resonate deeply. Are you seeing women change for the better on this? Are you seeing 0.95

01:15:19.380 women going, Oh, wait, we better wake up here. Is there any kind of movement on the other side 1.00

01:15:23.740 for women? I am. And you know, the work that we do at the conservatoire, we are seeing that. And

01:15:28.760 we, and I think that this comes down to Glenn, and I think you and I both can agree on this.

01:15:32.560 The digital noise is often louder than reality. And that's why I touched on that because I do

01:15:37.320 think even even when you use no matter what you think about the fishback campaign so many thought

01:15:42.260 that he was going to pull a certain direction because he was very very tech savvy and it seemed

01:15:46.860 as if he would get all of these types of voters and then you saw what actually ended up happening

01:15:50.620 and so that's just a if you just want to talk about the digital reality of something politics

01:15:55.080 aside that that's a good example of it doesn't always manifest and so while i'm saying it is

01:16:00.400 frustrating to see all of these women respond this way and i do want to sound the alarm on it and i

01:16:04.560 do want to be a whistleblower on it i also want to be a voice for women like myself who are not

01:16:09.860 voting that way and who are not thinking that way and who are not putting pink shirts on and holding 0.96

01:16:14.060 up my hands outside of lindsey clancy case because i'm sitting here going she murdered her three 0.98

01:16:17.980 babies her babies like i could never i don't care how mentally ill you are you you were rational 0.54

01:16:23.580 enough to plan that out and so i i do i would i'd like to say that i'm example of that and there's a

01:16:29.400 lot of women within the base that are very much pushing back against this so it is it is very

01:16:34.360 prominent but it's just you're not seeing it manifest online in a way that you're seeing the

01:16:38.780 other side and it's become rowdy and again i i just say nothing new under the sun that's why i'm

01:16:43.620 like we need to start responding to this and also be aware of the fact that tiktok is just going to

01:16:48.420 accelerate it and that's why the right needs to you know the left is capitalizing on this mandami

01:16:52.940 aoc they're techie and savvy and they're they're resonating with young women the right is not doing 0.90

01:16:57.880 as good of a job at that. And so we need to get ahead of the curve and understand just a thought 0.99

01:17:01.760 process of communications, digital. How is that resonating with their audience, with young women?

01:17:07.540 How can the right take a step forward in that as well? So I really do think we need to take a look

01:17:10.940 at playbooks. Politics aside, take a look at playbooks. How are women responding? This is

01:17:14.900 what my long-form article talks about. What is the thought process? Why are they resonating?

01:17:18.700 Why does it make sense? We need to ask these questions. Just take a step back and go,

01:17:22.180 why are women this way? What is the state of them? How did they become this way? How are we going to 1.00

01:17:26.260 answer it and what is the type of information they're going to consume how are we going to

01:17:29.560 reach them the left thinks that way they're maximizing on it mandami was charismatic and

01:17:35.900 he was putting out you know social media trends that were resonating with women i know it's trivial

01:17:40.260 to say and i know there's probably you know older people listening to this going that's just crazy

01:17:43.460 but it's just the day and age we live and this is how communication is consumed so we need to get

01:17:47.180 ahead of the curve uh you find the article at glenbeck.com right now i'll give you more information

01:17:51.420 on that in a second i can't let you leave without asking about gloria steinham um second wave

01:17:56.340 feminism she was the face of it she's uh was found dead this morning at 92 everybody's saying 0.99

01:18:02.560 she's a trailblazer for women yada yada what do you think the real legacy for women is that she's

01:18:08.540 leaving i don't think you know i don't think she's leaving much behind is she um that that's how

01:18:16.700 that's a prime example of are we gonna who are we gonna let be the face of women is it going to be

01:18:21.220 something like this? Is it going to be the feministic narrative or is it going to be true,

01:18:24.540 beautiful, and good femininity? And I don't know if that's exactly what her legacy is. I don't

01:18:29.380 think that's exactly what exactly women are today. So I would take a look at her legacy, 0.99

01:18:34.040 think for yourself, is that the face? If you're a woman listening today, is that a legacy that I

01:18:38.540 want to follow or is there a new one I want to trail ahead? And so I don't know if I would

01:18:43.020 resonate with her. I would be curious if others would. Bethany, thank you so much. Bethany Miller,

01:20:40.520 There's a new TV host on Blaze TV, Nick Freitas.

01:20:45.520 And this is what he said about the Lindsay Clancy trial.

01:20:48.480 And it's kind of what we were just talking about with Brittany.

01:20:50.540 Listen to this. 0.95

01:20:51.580 I honestly don't think that women understand what a catalyst moment this is. 0.82

01:20:56.540 There's been a lot of conditions set for young men to just be fed up.

01:21:00.860 This is the one where I don't think they realize you could look back in 20 years and be like, oh, this is where we lost the right to vote.

01:21:08.420 Yeah, literally. 0.94

01:21:08.980 Because the bottom line is, as women become more tribal, men are becoming more tribal. 0.93

01:21:14.080 and bad news our tribe doesn't need you to secure our rights you need us to help you secure yours

01:21:21.860 yep and people go oh nick fredis is advocating right no i'm not advocating it i'm telling you

01:21:26.860 you get you get tribal to this degree yeah we're not only can you kill our kids in the womb through 0.96

01:21:32.420 all nine months of pregnancy but now you can strangle them on the outside and you're the

01:21:36.740 one that gets sympathy and the husband is to blame that's where you move men into the screw

01:21:42.780 you phase of the exercise this is so dangerous because i think he's right i think he's right

01:21:49.800 i mean to an extreme he's right and this is why this is so dangerous we all have to if i have time

01:21:57.440 i'll talk about this later if not tomorrow um we all have to draw a line in our own lives look at

01:22:04.660 what's happening to all of us we are being divided to such an extreme in every way possible

01:22:12.320 father from children, brothers from sisters, you know, men from women, black and white.

01:22:19.040 All of these lines are all being drawn. This is the end of humanity, gang. Don't you see?

01:22:27.020 This is all one play. Divide, divide, divide. Now we're down to the basic men and women divide.

01:24:49.520 I got to tell you, this Clancy trial looks like we're going to have a hung jury.

01:24:53.280 um there are crowds gathering in front of the courthouse now and everybody's saying this is

01:25:00.440 putting you know a spotlight on mental health the mental health crisis yeah that's one thing

01:25:04.920 that's one thing putting a spotlight on mental health crisis is one thing um uh you know i don't

01:25:12.320 know how much of the trial you've been following and i i have stayed out of it because i i don't

01:25:19.120 like it when we just declare people guilty or innocent. Um, especially if I haven't done all

01:25:25.360 my homework on it, but you know, there, the, the testimony is, is that she planned it out. She knew

01:25:31.720 what she was doing. She, you know, she, she operated this. It wasn't just a, I'm hearing

01:25:37.920 voices. I got to do this. Um, but again, I haven't heard all the testimony, but we are in a real

01:25:44.660 situation here where we are uh it's toxic empathy it's toxic empathy and you can be for better

01:25:53.820 mental health you can be for people saying i you you gotta take postpartum depression seriously

01:25:59.860 i'm one of those people take it seriously it's real but you can also separate that from

01:26:07.340 killed three children and look at the facts of the case uh it's we're in a weird place

01:26:17.060 in america we'll get into that in about a half hour again uh carol roth is going to join me here

01:26:21.620 in a minute we've been talking about you know what the what the republicans should be talking

01:26:26.800 about what they should be doing uh and not really doing it however the president came out and said

01:26:33.180 he's going to go across the country for 30 days to try to help 35 Republicans. I don't know. Too

01:26:40.080 little, too late. I don't know. It's not him. It's really them. They're the problem, not him.

01:26:47.440 And so we're going to talk about the affordability crisis. Yeah, I'm a conservative that will say

01:26:51.560 there is affordability crisis because all you have to do is go stand in a checkout line at a

01:26:57.020 grocery store. If you don't think that's an affordability crisis, I mean, how rich are you?

01:27:01.660 because I see the problem, but I want to focus with Carol on a couple of things that can be done

01:27:09.480 pretty easily, and one of them is the government of the United States is the largest predatory

01:27:16.040 lender in the world, and this is a real problem, and this could be ended quickly. I'll talk to

01:27:23.460 Carol about this. I'll give you a hint. It's about universities. Also, we'll talk about housing and

01:27:31.260 how to make that affordable coming up in uh just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor

01:27:35.040 it's lifelock believe it or not i've spent my entire life being me apparently that's no longer

01:27:46.200 phone sometimes i have to identify a picture of a traffic light i know who i am i've been here the

01:27:51.800 whole time but the internet remains suspicious and it remains suspicious for good reason as it

01:27:56.980 Turns out, you know, meanwhile, I know who I am.

01:28:50.240 How are you?

01:28:50.820 Very good.

01:28:51.240 Carol Roth, who if you don't have her economic news coming in your email box, her newsletter, go to carolroth.com slash news, sign up for a newsletter.

01:29:02.820 You're going to be way ahead of everything that is happening economically.

01:29:06.420 Carol, let's start with, because I've read some of your notes and some of your writings on this.

01:29:12.280 The biggest predatory lender in the world is the United States government, and this is so true.

01:29:19.300 If this were a bank doing it, it would be the number one story everywhere.

01:29:24.580 But it's the government.

01:29:25.980 Explain.

01:29:26.380 Right.

01:29:26.780 Everybody hates payday lenders.

01:29:29.400 Everybody hates those who go after people who are vulnerable.

01:29:34.180 We have the U.S. government who, under the Obama administration, largely nationalized

01:29:39.620 student lending.

01:29:40.580 They got the banks out of the way.

01:29:42.560 And now it's the U.S. government.

01:29:44.440 And they are preying on teenagers.

01:29:46.980 They're preying on people who can't even drink alcohol.

01:29:51.100 They're not old enough to drink alcohol or in some cases to get cough syrup, you know,

01:29:55.660 when they go to Target or Walmart.

01:29:57.320 But somehow they can take on five and six figures of debt for college and figure out

01:30:04.560 what the return on investment is supposed to be for that.

01:30:08.180 And that's why I call the government the largest predatory lender in the world, because they

01:30:13.780 are transferring wealth on a wholesale basis from young Americans. And where is it going, Glenn?

01:30:20.200 It's going straight to colleges and primarily to college administrators. It's not even going

01:30:25.640 to professors who are improving the education. It's just bloated administration. And that is

01:30:32.660 not leading to better outcomes. So it means that young people, they're paying more for education

01:30:37.900 and they're not able to get a good return on investment in a lot of the cases, or in some

01:30:44.100 cases, any return on investment, because it's not treated like any other loan is.

01:30:48.960 I was going to say, if I went into a bank and I was going to start a business, they would say,

01:30:55.660 let me see your business plan. How are you planning on paying this back? What are you

01:31:01.300 building? How competent are you at that, et cetera? They're going in and they're saying,

01:31:06.980 I want a gender studies degree. And nobody says, how are you going to pay this loan back? What job

01:31:14.020 are you going to get? What are the stats out there about what kind of salary those people

01:31:19.820 who are graduating today are going to make? There's nothing on that.

01:31:25.640 There's nothing. And that's no, what we call an underwriting process to see, match up your

01:31:31.980 ability to repay with the amount that you're getting from the loan. So they don't look at

01:31:37.200 your grades. They don't look at your major. If you have the gender studies degree, you can take

01:31:42.860 out the same amount as you can if you're going into finance or engineering or something that's

01:31:47.940 likely to have a higher outcome. And there's no accountability. The colleges who are the

01:31:56.360 beneficiaries aren't on the hook for any of this. Like a regular loan that is eligible for the

01:32:03.520 bankruptcy process, these are not eligible for the bankruptcy process. So when you look at young

01:32:09.840 people and you say, why is it, why are they turning to the democratic socialists? Why are

01:32:15.900 they so disenfranchised? It's because they were told to go to school. They were told they needed

01:32:21.220 an education, that they would get a better job. They're not getting better jobs. They're saddled

01:32:26.100 with this debt. This debt is at higher and higher interest rates. So they're trying to pay it down.

01:32:31.820 They don't understand that when you just pay the interest, the principal doesn't go down. They

01:32:35.900 don't understand why they still have this debt because our education system has failed them.

01:32:40.220 And it delays their progress in life. It delays their ability to buy a house. It delays their

01:32:46.100 ability to start a family. So it's hard to say somebody who was a teenager or a very young person

01:32:54.440 when they signed up for this, you know, this whole idea. I'm a big person for personal

01:32:58.600 responsibility, but we are preying on them. Why is the U.S. government allowing this to happen,

01:33:05.600 allowing the colleges to do this? To me, this is the absolute lowest hanging fruit.

01:33:10.680 And President Trump said he was going to get tough on the colleges. He started to go in that

01:33:14.880 direction. And I don't think he went far enough for somebody who's, you know, sunk his teeth into

01:33:19.920 the tariff stuck his teeth into Iran. Sank your teeth into colleges and universities and change 0.74

01:33:26.700 this whole system. Get the government out. Make the colleges partially responsible. Allow this

01:33:32.060 to go through bankruptcy. And for existing loans, restructure all of the interest payments that are

01:33:38.440 going to the government that have already been paid and let these young people, don't absolve

01:33:43.780 them of their responsibility, but give them some credit for what they've already done.

01:33:49.020 So you're suggesting maybe take some of the money that they paid in interest, and if they were paying it for a long period of time, take some of the interest and say, okay, we're going to take 50% of the interest payment because you're not paying the principal down at all or barely, and we're going to apply that for a one-time application.

01:34:10.360 We're going to apply 50% of that.

01:34:11.880 It's going to go to the principal.

01:34:13.680 Yeah, credit balance.

01:34:14.660 But again, this is the kind of thing that we can't revisit and continue to do.

01:34:19.600 It all has to change at once.

01:34:21.580 So it has to be part of a full program.

01:34:24.300 Here's how we're changing this in the future, because we're not going to be in this business

01:34:28.260 anymore and we're going to make the colleges responsible and we're going to make this like

01:34:32.140 any other loan for you.

01:34:33.960 And then for people who've already been through it, here's what we're going to do for you.

01:34:37.660 And by the way, because this is always the pushback.

01:34:39.520 The pushback is from, hey, I paid my loan.

01:34:41.900 I was responsible. 0.85

01:34:42.780 well, I'm not getting, you know, I'm getting screwed here.

01:34:46.200 Well, if you didn't pay in just interest over time or over time and over time,

01:34:50.540 you really aren't getting a penalty for that.

01:34:53.300 So I feel like there's no perfect way to address this,

01:34:56.640 but it does address it in a more balanced way.

01:34:59.180 There's not going to be complete fairness on any of this stuff.

01:35:02.280 These are all, we're at the point where almost every answer,

01:35:05.080 every solution is a bad answer to somebody.

01:35:07.120 Right. There's always a trade-off.

01:35:08.960 Right.

01:35:09.380 So, but, you know, I remember saying when Obama went after and said,

01:35:12.480 you know, we're going to just give loans out, I thought. And I said, this is going to make the

01:35:17.200 cost of education skyrocket because there's no accountability. And so they'll just, if it's

01:35:24.720 endless piles of cash that the government is going to sign for, of course, the universities

01:35:31.520 will take it. That's why they have to be on the hook for some of this stuff. You know, you're

01:35:36.760 saying, hey, you're going to get a gender study. Look, do you understand that that is not going

01:35:42.120 to pay you very much do you understand that you know if you want to be a social worker let's say

01:35:47.520 that you're going to be struggling your whole life so it's not worth 175 000 in loans to get

01:35:54.880 it because you'll never pay it off um it's so frustrating glenn because we pay for education

01:36:03.060 in this country we pay for everybody to go to school k through 12 the fact that we do not teach

01:36:11.000 young people how to do a return on investment calculation, something that I'm not joking,

01:36:16.200 my dad taught me to do when I was 10 years old. And to be able to look at the data and say,

01:36:22.380 this isn't going to work, or to be able to understand the difference between interest

01:36:26.520 and principle, it's economic and financial literacy, and we're driving it. The state,

01:36:32.520 the government is driving this on purpose, because they don't want people to understand

01:36:38.120 financial literacy and economic literacy because then people would understand how screwed up the

01:36:42.600 government is and require some accountability there so they just let everybody struggle

01:36:46.740 and then blame capitalism is there any way the president could also take this and say you know

01:36:52.260 you have to be on the hook and if you don't if you don't inform people before they take out these

01:36:57.780 loans if you're not clear if you haven't shown them then we're not going to loan to you because

01:37:02.640 you're not you're a bad risk to us as the united states government those tax dollars that we are

01:37:08.260 now spending and loaning to uh students that should be sacred money and i don't mind loaning

01:37:14.180 for you know my tax dollars loaning for education because those are the people that are going to

01:37:19.320 figure out how to fix the problems of tomorrow and make our world better but not not this way

01:37:25.480 not this way i used to think that i mean unfortunately you know a lot of these colleges

01:37:30.680 have become hedge funds with indoctrination caps attached to them. And they are not concerned

01:37:35.500 with education and making people better, which is why so many of these young people come out,

01:37:40.760 you know, as communists and democratic socialist sympathizers instead of the people who are fixing

01:37:46.580 the world. So that's part of the issue, too, is I, you know, I don't like the government being

01:37:51.580 involved in lending, but I don't think that people who are going to school are coming out

01:37:55.220 and getting better outcomes because of the things that I'm seeing them teaching at colleges and

01:38:00.800 universities as well. So that's also a piece of the problem here. If we were sending people and

01:38:06.580 they were coming out and they were really creating a lot of productivity, I don't think

01:38:11.880 that this would be an issue. But as you have correctly identified, anytime the government

01:38:17.600 gets involved and gives money willy-nilly, the cost, whether it's education or healthcare or

01:38:24.540 whatnot, and we don't have real free market competition and things functioning the way

01:38:30.240 that they would otherwise, that's when the costs are just allowed to continue to rise.

01:38:35.860 And if you look at the chart, a great chart, I sent it to you by Mark Perry, the chart

01:38:40.020 of the century.

01:38:40.700 I'll put it up on my X for everyone to see.

01:38:43.560 Everything that the government's involved in has exceeded the cost of inflation significantly

01:38:49.360 in places where we have free market competition.

01:38:52.540 Those prices continue to decrease.

01:38:54.540 It's a law that's worked since the beginning of time, and it's a reality.

01:39:00.360 But again, nobody understands – well, not nobody, but the broad American populace doesn't understand this, and that is the heart of the problem.

01:39:08.680 Okay, so I'm going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back, and we're going to talk about housing because that's the other thing.

01:39:12.940 By the way, before we break, have you heard a single person in the GOP suggest anything like this?

01:39:19.880 So I actually have suggested some things, and we do have a handful of people who've come out and said, yeah, these things make sense, but it is the minority.

01:39:30.900 It's not the majority, and that's the problem.

01:39:33.220 These people should be running on these things.

01:39:37.280 They should be able to say, yeah, there's an affordability problem, and here's how we're going to fix it.

01:39:42.580 This fixes that.

01:39:44.140 Hang on just a second.

01:39:44.960 Carol, we're going to come back to you here in just a second.

01:39:46.620 First, let me tell you about Friend Factor.

01:39:47.920 I have a complaint about dogs.

01:39:49.800 I'd like to speak to whoever designed the system here.

01:39:52.220 You get maybe 12, 14, 15 years with them if you're lucky. 0.92

01:39:56.360 That's ridiculous. 1.00

01:39:57.440 A stupid parrot can live for 60 years. 1.00

01:39:59.880 My dog? 1.00

01:40:01.200 A tortoise can outlive the guy who bought him.

01:40:04.060 But the animal that becomes part of the family, who sleeps at our bed,

01:40:06.980 who watches at the door for us to come, that loves our children, protects our children,

01:40:10.740 you get a handful of years?

01:40:12.060 I'd like to file an appeal, please.

01:40:13.740 And until somebody fixes that, we just have to make our years with our dogs be as good as possible.

01:40:22.280 That's why the people behind Relief Factor created a Friend Factor.

01:40:25.640 It's a daily supplement designed to support your dog's joint health.

01:40:29.200 Our bodies work very similar.

01:40:32.240 And the inflammation that is happening in your body that helps you or stops you from going up the stairs or doing the things you love is the same with our dogs.

01:40:41.960 You can't make the clock stop.

01:40:43.740 but you can take care of them while it's running

01:40:45.780 because someday 15 years is going to feel like 15 minutes,

01:40:49.200 and I still think that's a terrible deal.

01:40:51.900 Get your dog the first bag of Friend Factor today.

01:40:55.400 It's a treat that you can give them.

01:40:57.020 They'll love, and it's good for them.

01:40:58.320 It'll help them.

01:41:00.440 Just $19.95.

01:41:01.640 Go to relieffactor.com.

01:41:02.920 That's relieffactor.com.

01:41:05.060 Look for Friend Factor.

01:41:06.140 10-second station.

01:41:13.740 Carol, I hate to say it. We're going to be out of time. I only have about three minutes. So let's

01:41:22.020 get into what we can on housing. Yes. So just real quickly before I get to housing,

01:41:28.180 I do want to say in terms of Congress's failure, the number one thing that would help fix

01:41:35.020 affordability is going after waste, fraud, and abuse. It's estimated anywhere from a quarter

01:41:40.020 of a trillion to a trillion dollars of fraud alone is in our system. So things that would,

01:41:46.760 you know, not only make things like health care costs less, but, you know, increase or decrease

01:41:52.020 interest rates. We had a president who tried to go after that and Congress did not back him up.

01:41:57.160 So I just wanted to say that. But housing. So one of the ideas that I have been floating

01:42:03.520 is allowing for interest rate assumability.

01:42:08.160 If you have a cheap interest rate,

01:42:11.840 that's one of the things that's locking up housing.

01:42:14.080 You don't want to move into another house.

01:42:16.420 And if somebody is coming in to buy your house,

01:42:18.640 it's going to be way more expensive for them.

01:42:20.840 So if we allow these cheap interest rates to be assumed,

01:42:24.460 it's a win-win.

01:42:25.760 It's locked up so the banks aren't making money

01:42:27.740 and there's going to be a bridge between the existing loan

01:42:31.020 and what else is needed for a new buyer.

01:42:33.520 and the banks can benefit from that as well.

01:42:35.420 I got to tell you, and it helps the president accomplish what he wants.

01:42:39.640 He's been wanting lower interest rates.

01:42:41.240 Okay, they're not going to give them to you.

01:42:42.500 Here's your lower interest rate.

01:42:44.440 Here it is.

01:42:45.600 Assumable mortgages.

01:42:47.180 Quickly, one more thing.

01:42:48.880 Yes.

01:42:49.240 So also, I know people have different feelings about tariffs,

01:42:53.460 but tariffs have increased builder costs, lumber, drywall, steel, appliances,

01:42:57.960 whatever it is.

01:42:59.260 If we roll that back, if that becomes less of a focus

01:43:02.540 and we focus more on affordability,

01:43:04.460 that's another thing that can help the cost of new housing as well.

01:43:08.540 And the other thing, I agree with you on that,

01:43:12.080 but the other thing is we've got to go after these regulations.

01:43:17.400 Regulations now account for like $130,000 on the average house.

01:43:22.420 That's insane.

01:43:23.280 Between federal and local, it's $130,000 in regulation cost.

01:43:30.280 That's got to stop.

01:43:31.560 That's got to come under control.

01:43:33.140 And I think it's a 43, 47% increase since 2019.

01:43:39.560 It's housing, it's business, it's energy, it's food, it's everything.

01:43:43.200 So attack the red tape and you're going to have a better cost of living and more prosperity.

01:43:47.820 It's, you know, economics 101.

01:43:50.040 Carol, thank you very much.

01:43:51.200 Carol Roth, make sure you get her newsletter.

01:43:53.400 She's way ahead of the curve and you'll know what's coming down the pike.

01:43:56.660 CarolRoth.com slash news.

01:43:58.480 You get her newsletter, carolroth.com slash news, or you can follow her on X at Carol J. S. Roth.

01:44:06.680 Okay, when we come back, there's a couple of things we have to deal with.

01:44:10.840 This crazy thing from the Canadian military asking a U.S. Admiral, do we have plans to attack Canada?

01:44:22.800 And he's like, what? No, we don't. No.

01:44:26.660 Well, do we?

01:44:27.740 And if we do, would you follow the president?

01:44:29.900 He refuses to answer. 0.99

01:44:31.100 He's like, this is a ridiculous question. 0.71

01:44:33.360 Why don't you ask me about the plan to attack Mars?

01:44:37.560 And so then the writer goes back to Canada and decides to say, you know what?

01:44:43.280 He won't answer the question.

01:44:44.600 They have attack plans.

01:44:45.640 They're coming for us.

01:44:47.280 Canada, you're jumping the shark here. 0.95

01:44:51.760 You're really becoming unhinged.

01:44:54.900 We'll talk about that and go back up to what is happening in Plymouth, Mass.,

01:45:00.740 and what it means to men and women and relationships and everything else.

01:45:06.460 We're slipping into even more dangerous territory mentally.

01:45:11.200 We are becoming even more sick as a nation.

01:45:14.180 Come on, wake up. Turn it around.

01:45:16.360 Put things back in place.

01:45:17.800 We'll go there next.

01:45:24.380 You know, one of the strangest things about a really nice hotel is the bed, because here's what happened.

01:45:29.840 You walk into the room, you put your bag down, and before you're even unpacked, you're inspecting the bed.

01:45:34.420 You're looking at the pillows and the sheets and everything's soft and cool and perfectly made, and you think, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, this is nice.

01:45:43.160 You know, I deserve the sheets when I'm, you know, 400 miles away from my house.

01:45:47.440 Why are you saving the good bed for vacation?

01:45:49.200 honestly incredibly soft breathable sheets designed to help regulate temperature while

01:45:53.800 you sleep they feel luxurious the first night you put them on your bed and they stay that way

01:45:58.560 it's cozier sheets they even back their bedding with a 10-year warranty against pilling and rips

01:46:04.220 and tears nobody does that with a sheet you don't need a reservation you don't need a room you know

01:46:09.440 room service although that would be nice you don't need somebody to leave a little tiny bottle of

01:46:13.880 shampoo in the bathroom you just need good quality sleep and a good quality bed head to

01:47:04.000 Okay.

01:47:05.620 Guys, I think it's time to say to Canada,

01:47:10.400 the doctor will see you now.

01:47:11.840 uh canada is going nuts uh let me explain um there's an admiral and he was speaking at one

01:47:23.660 of the war games uh and the i think it's the global news help me out on this one ricky because

01:47:29.960 you you know canadian media the global news is a canadian like abc or nbc yes up in canada right

01:47:36.100 so one of the big three part of the big three uh partially owned by the government do you know

01:47:41.240 all canadian media is basically subsidized okay so they uh they go in there they're listening to

01:47:49.420 this briefing and i want to play the global news reporter and what he asked this admiral and listen

01:47:56.160 to his attitude listen to his question and listen to what the admiral says go ahead play

01:48:02.300 Would you obey an order to launch military action against Canada?

01:48:08.820 Yeah, I find that scenario to be absolutely and utterly preposterous.

01:48:19.880 And so I follow the orders of the commander-in-chief,

01:48:25.780 but that is a needlessly emotional question.

01:48:30.000 How so?

01:48:30.860 uh canada is a close ally i'm sorry i didn't mean to be insulted but

01:48:35.900 i'm sorry you didn't answer the question but i said i follow the orders of the president and

01:48:43.900 i find it to be a uh would you ask me please also what my attack plans are for the martians

01:48:50.260 yes sir i don't dismiss you i don't dismiss you but uh i do dismiss the question

01:49:00.860 Okay. So that is a preposterous question. Okay. Of course he has to answer, I follow the instructions of the commander of the United States, the president of the United States. He's in uniform. That's what he does.

01:49:14.200 Now, a separate question. If the president called you up today and said, hey, I need you to launch missiles against Mark Carney, I would bet any admiral, every admiral would go, Mr. President, can I get your code again, please?

01:49:30.220 uh that doesn't make any sense okay that that is that those would be the orders of an absolute

01:49:38.180 lunatic we're not at war mark carney's the one who said we're at war donald trump has sent

01:49:45.800 everybody thank you has sent everybody there's the chinese gong for mark carney um but uh see

01:49:51.960 said it again and you missed it there you go um anyway uh you know he the president has sent

01:50:00.540 person after person after person to talk to the canadians and say we're not in a war we're not in 0.64

01:50:06.340 a war now global news a government news agency from canada asked this ridiculous question and

01:50:14.520 then it goes to the ottawa citizen another canadian news organization and they say that the

01:50:20.800 u.s admiral dodges questions about attacking canada but acknowledges he would follow trump's

01:50:27.560 orders he wasn't dodging he's saying that's a ridiculous question i'm not going to answer 0.99

01:50:33.700 ridiculous questions not going to that's not dodging that's a stupid question we are allies 0.98

01:50:44.160 we there are no but you know what let me here's what i would say see this is why i could never 1.00

01:50:48.920 be in government. Because here's what I would say. That's the dumbest question I've ever heard.

01:50:53.020 The dumbest question. First of all, we're allies. What is wrong with you? You need a medical checkup 1.00

01:51:02.660 for that question. Now, I could answer it and say, of course there are plans to attack Canada.

01:51:08.880 There's plans to attack the North Pole if Santa gets out of hand. Our job is to fill a building

01:51:17.160 called the Pentagon, bigger than most of your provinces, with people who their only job is

01:51:25.120 to think of scenarios in case something goes wrong in some filing cabinet somewhere in the

01:51:31.740 Pentagon, maybe under C, maybe under never going to happen. I can tell you there is a file that

01:51:39.720 has Canada's name on it but nobody is talking about it because we're friends we're allies

01:51:48.720 we're neighbors let me ask you have you asked your military about their plans to attack the

01:51:55.860 United States why not because it's ridiculous that's how I would have handled it he handled

01:52:03.880 it much nicer that's why i'm not at the pentagon nor anywhere near a microphone for the federal

01:52:09.940 government and god help me man if i were in if i were in the white house and the button was on the

01:52:15.800 desk and i wasn't even president and i saw that question and there was a button it was mark canada

01:52:21.760 i might have launched this is ridiculous i might have launched and the president would go why did

01:52:27.560 you just that's nuclear war it's canada sir it's canada did you hear that question 0.63

01:52:33.180 and now they're going to follow it up in the Ottawa citizen saying he's dodging the question. 0.59

01:52:39.340 They believe it anyway.

01:52:40.740 Newcomb.

01:52:41.860 Glenn Beck, Ottawa citizen.

01:52:43.720 Glenn Beck says nuke Canada and he means it.

01:52:47.840 Oh my God, you people are, you need a medical checkup.

01:52:51.820 And the good thing is there's room for you to see the doctor probably in June of 2028.

01:52:59.720 Congratulations on your medical system.

01:53:03.180 okay where were we ricky um oh we were at the part where we've already launched a war

01:53:14.760 on canada and it's in their heads it is the psyop is complete it is it is it's in their head

01:53:21.400 he does he does their you know lake america thing and he says you know what he means when

01:53:28.220 he says they're the 51st state. Do you know what he means? He doesn't mean so another star on the

01:53:35.160 flag. He means you're like our 51st state. We're that close. We share so much. We share everything.

01:53:47.260 You know, we build our cars. Ford builds our cars here and in Mexico, in Canada. We share everything.

01:53:54.060 and while we you know because of drug lords we're not the same as we are with you we have an open

01:54:00.920 border and you know what we shouldn't because you're sending terrorists down to our country

01:54:05.700 but that's what he means by the 51st state not like we're coming up with our military we're 0.80

01:54:11.360 gonna take we don't want your rat hole state you know why because then we're gonna have to pay for 0.99

01:54:17.180 all your socialist crap that all you people believe in. No, there's no one, there's no 1.00

01:54:23.540 conservative that is saying, you know, we should invade and take Canada because then we'll have a

01:54:28.780 whole bunch of other Marxist voters we have to deal with. No, we don't want your problems.

01:54:36.520 Your problems are your problems. We have big enough problems here. We don't need your problems.

01:54:42.800 you take care of your problems we'll take of our care of our problems we'll cheat treat each other 0.99

01:54:48.140 with respect we'll we'll recognize that china and islamists and communists are a mutual threat 0.99

01:55:00.520 to the western way of life and if you can't admit that then you know what we can't really be as close 0.99

01:55:09.720 as we once were. But I will tell you this, while it's ridiculous to ask the question,

01:55:15.740 is there an invasion plan of China? That's ridiculous. You give this 10 years and you 0.96

01:55:21.880 keep cozying up to China. You keep bringing China in. You get all of your stuff run by China. 1.00

01:55:28.880 You get all of the Chinese factories in. You have all your chips made. We can't trade with you 0.97

01:55:35.720 because China is a threat to the United States. 1.00

01:55:39.600 And the closer you get to them, 1.00

01:55:42.020 the more we have to build a wall,

01:55:44.840 either literally or figuratively, between us. 0.99

01:55:48.300 The more you get in bed with radicalized Islam 0.91

01:55:51.580 to the point where you have 2,000 Jews, 1.00

01:55:55.080 Canadian Jews going, I've got to get out of here. 1.00

01:55:57.980 Can I get into the United States? 1.00

01:56:00.320 The more you do that, the more we have to distance ourselves.

01:56:04.160 you keep going down this road for 10 years and you know what there might be a battle plan

01:56:09.360 on the table there might be i hope to god not but if you become a threat to the sovereignty

01:56:15.960 of the united states or honestly forget the united states the sovereignty of each and every

01:56:22.920 individual on planet earth who are sovereigns of their own life if you become more communist 0.98

01:56:31.720 more Marxist more collectivist you keep killing your people at the clip you're killing them at

01:56:37.260 in the name of compassion you're not an enemy of the United States you're an enemy of mankind 0.60

01:56:42.600 you're an enemy of God he's going to solve that problem long before the U.S. military will

01:56:49.720 you're going to collapse you're going to collapse you're on the wrong track and you know what I

01:56:57.340 I don't say that like we're on the right track.

01:56:59.560 I don't know anybody that's on the right track right now.

01:57:03.520 Don't look to us for answers.

01:57:08.640 We're struggling ourself.

01:57:12.080 We could be exactly where you are in 10 years.

01:57:18.760 But stop with this baby nonsense.

01:57:24.000 Oh, are you going to attack? 0.93

01:57:27.340 You know, I was talking to Clay Travis.

01:57:37.800 What was it, a $10 million bet or bounty?

01:57:41.680 He'd give the WNBA $10 million if the WNBA would play the, what was it,

01:57:50.220 fifth grade team of his choosing.

01:57:53.760 if they play a game of basketball against fifth graders

01:57:57.960 and he'd give them, you know, $10 million if they won?

01:58:03.760 You know what, Canada?

01:58:05.140 We could send our fifth graders up.

01:58:08.080 We might be able to send our fifth graders up.

01:58:10.920 I mean, after a briefing or two.

01:58:13.960 You're like the WNBA of armies, please.

01:58:18.260 Please.

01:58:20.300 We don't need a battle plan.

01:58:22.400 We just need somebody to go, you guys got some guns?

01:58:26.520 Yeah, let's go take Canada, please.

01:58:30.480 Now, maybe we can't say that in Minnesota.

01:58:33.620 In Texas, we could say that.

01:58:35.860 Texas, we could say, guys, what do you say we just solve this?

01:58:39.300 Let's just go up and take Canada.

01:58:40.580 And Texans would take care of the job. 1.00

01:58:42.620 Everybody else is too much of a wuss nowadays. 1.00

01:58:44.760 You know, I was in Europe, and people would say, where are you from? 0.96

01:58:52.000 And I'd say Florida, or I'd say we live in Idaho or whatever.

01:58:58.320 I don't live in Texas anymore.

01:59:01.640 My business is in Texas, but I don't live here anymore.

01:59:04.400 We ended up saying Texas.

01:59:06.140 You know why?

01:59:06.960 Because the responses were hysterical, absolutely hysterical.

01:59:12.640 My favorite was, oh, well, that's not really America, is it?

01:59:17.760 uh-huh you're right at least right now could change in 30 days but at least right now it

01:59:29.620 kind of isn't really america it's its own place with its own attitude and every state should be

01:59:37.300 that way every state should be that way we are one country but we're 50 experimental laboratories

01:59:47.220 Instead, we're all becoming 49 Marxist laboratories.

01:59:52.980 I should say 48.

01:59:55.500 Florida and Texas.

01:59:58.780 And it may be 49 because we might lose Texas.

02:00:01.920 But we're supposed to be different.

02:00:07.000 And our 51st state has always been different.

02:00:10.260 You're kind of like our special state.

02:00:16.300 more in a minute. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. I would have a lot less

02:00:21.980 concern about emergencies if they would just, you know, make appointments. Hey, this is the

02:00:27.460 power grid. What are you doing Tuesday around two o'clock? Have everything ready because we're

02:00:34.060 going to show up as a power grid failure sometime between Tuesday at 10 a.m. and Thursday at 4 p.m.

02:00:41.940 Unfortunately, that's not how any of it works. You know, storms don't check your schedule. The

02:00:45.560 power doesn't wait until you've already been to the store. The emergency doesn't care that you

02:00:50.240 were planning to be prepared next weekend. That's why I've told you for years about My Patriot

02:00:54.540 Supply. The whole point of preparedness is to have what you need before the day you need it.

02:00:59.600 During the National Preparedness Month event, My Patriot Supply wants to send you over $1,000

02:01:03.940 in shelf-stable food and preparedness gear. It's free. It starts with their flagship solar

02:01:09.840 generator that's powerful enough to run your fridge, your medical devices, laptops, phones,

02:01:14.500 whatever you need to prioritize at the time.

02:01:18.360 And, you know, if that's not good enough,

02:01:22.020 the bundle also gives you a huge amount of emergency food

02:01:24.900 and water filtration and the gear you need during disruptions.

02:02:28.720 Hey, Jason, can you give me the look at what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz?

02:02:36.060 because the price of oil is not reflecting the news.

02:02:40.620 That seems to be true, and that is 17 million barrels of oil

02:02:46.620 has been going through the Strait of Hormuz.

02:02:50.020 We are close to how it was before the war,

02:02:54.280 and yet I'm not seeing the price of anything come down.

02:02:57.240 What's true, what's not? Do you know?

02:02:59.440 Yeah, the energy secretary and multiple other officials

02:03:02.460 that even CNN is now reporting on

02:03:04.920 said that on Monday, the U.S. military escorted 40 commercial vehicles carrying, they say,

02:03:11.700 18 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. So if you count in also all the oil that

02:03:17.560 has now been diverted since the war started that's now heading out via pipelines, that's more than

02:03:23.480 the 20 million that was being transiting before the war. So if this holds, we're looking at just

02:03:31.720 a massive, I guess, fail that the IRGC and Iran played, they have now signed their own death 0.62

02:03:39.680 warrant when it comes to leverage via the strait. So again, if this holds and doesn't get upended

02:03:46.240 through something else, who knows what, as I said before, nothing will ever be the same

02:03:51.900 when it comes to Middle East, the oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. It will never be the same.

02:03:57.660 All they have to do is hold out until the election.

02:04:00.660 That's it.

02:04:01.520 If they can hold out to the election, they have a chance of really affecting this election.

02:04:06.480 If this thing fell apart now, gas prices would plummet.

02:04:11.920 And a lot of this affordability talk would go away.

02:04:17.000 But you watch.

02:04:18.080 They will hold out until the election.

02:04:19.900 They'll do everything they can to hold out.

02:04:22.880 And hopefully it happens before this.

02:04:24.820 But you watch.

02:04:25.860 It'll probably happen right after.

02:04:27.660 Because they are so close to absolute collapse right now.

02:04:31.800 So close.

02:04:33.800 And the president is not, he is not messing around with them anymore.

02:04:38.760 He's so tired of them.

02:04:40.940 All right, more tomorrow.

02:04:41.940 May God save the republic.
