All right. Let me tell you about good ranchers. First, let me start with the news I told you about yesterday.
00:00:05.040
In the Netherlands, they are closing down and the country is just buying all of these ranches.
00:00:12.580
And I think the Netherlands is the second one or two on meat exports for Europe.
00:00:20.520
And they're just shutting them down because, you know, nitrate.
00:00:24.080
This is nuts and the world is going to starve and it's coming here.

00:02:03.140
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:02:16.460
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:19.560
Yesterday, the New York Times had a little get-together, and guess who showed up?
00:02:29.540
You know, the guy from FTX that, you know, just lost about $10 billion for investors.
00:02:45.080
This guy is still in the Bahamas, and he's doing an interview for a very special, well-promoted interview with the New York Times.
00:02:57.880
Let me explain what I think happened yesterday in a way that nobody else will tell you.
00:03:11.260
It's no secret that cybercrime is pretty scummy in general.
00:03:14.740
A great example of that is how often elderly people are targeted, whether it's for Medicare coverage, online shopping, tech support, charities, all kinds of stuff.
00:03:23.900
Because the elderly are not necessarily, they're too trusting.
00:03:26.980
They don't understand all of this right now, because their world was completely different, and may I say, much better.
00:03:36.380
Anyway, it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives.
00:03:44.360
Now, the question is, are you going to protect yourself?
00:03:46.920
And what do you do if you haven't protected yourself to get your reputation, your money, your identity back?
00:03:57.460
If you just have somebody else watch over this, and somebody else who's really trusted and really good, the best on viruses is Norton.
00:04:07.880
Now it's LifeLock by Norton, so you know who is doing it.
00:04:13.860
And nobody can prevent all identity theft, but they watch for it.
00:04:18.820
If something slips through, they've got the team there to help clean everything up.
00:04:28.500
Call 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK, or lifelock.com.
00:04:46.700
But that bad day didn't include me losing $10 billion for other people.
00:04:54.320
You didn't lose any billions of dollars for other people that day.
00:04:57.460
Because I don't know if I would describe that as having a bad month.
00:05:02.040
Lost $30 billion, $10 billion in other people's money.
00:05:12.160
But that is the way that Bankman Freed started the interview yesterday with the New York Times.
00:05:19.160
He apologized and said, I just, I mean, here, let me, let me actually play it for you.
00:05:38.320
Like, what matters here is the millions of customers.
00:05:45.780
I want to come back to that part of it at the end.
00:06:00.640
It appears like there's been a genuine commingling of the funds that are of FTX customers that were
00:06:06.460
not supposed to be commingled with your separate firm.
00:06:13.880
And again, one piece of this, you have the margin trading.
00:06:17.080
You have, you know, customers borrowing from each other.
00:06:20.460
I was frankly surprised by how big Alameda's position was, which points to another failure
00:06:26.600
of oversight on my part and failure to appoint someone to be chiefly in charge of that.
00:06:34.440
Uh, but, uh, I wasn't trying to commingle funds.
00:06:41.280
Well, there's all kinds of evidence that, uh, Alameda, which was the hedge fund and FTX shared
00:06:50.840
So, I mean, you're sharing an account at Silvergate.
00:06:56.700
Uh, so not sure how you, you square that circle or, you know, you weren't aware, but what he's
00:07:02.120
saying here basically is I wasn't, I wasn't aware of it.
00:07:07.840
So in other words, Hey, I'm, I didn't look at her.
00:07:14.200
He appointed her and he's still the owner of Alameda.
00:07:17.420
He's, he still owns the, you know, that's kind of a big part of it.
00:07:21.200
And, uh, his incompetence, uh, slash fraudulent activities are what we're talking about.
00:07:28.340
He's, I, I wasn't running that and I didn't get involved cause I was nervous about the
00:07:34.440
If I were too involved in that, you got the same bank account, dude, you have the same
00:07:45.020
I personally don't think I have criminal liability.
00:07:47.420
How concerned are you about criminal liability at this point?
00:07:51.060
So I don't think that, I mean, obviously I don't, I don't personally think that I have,
00:07:55.160
uh, you know, but I think the real answer is that's not, it sounds weird to say, but,
00:08:03.600
but I think the real answer is that's not what I'm focusing on.
00:08:07.820
Um, what are you, it's, uh, there's going to be a time and a place for me to sort of
00:08:14.220
think about myself and my own future, but I don't think this is it.
00:08:26.240
Look, I, I don't think so, but it's not the time or place to think about me.
00:08:33.380
What I'm concerned about are all of the people who have lost their money.
00:08:42.360
And I guess that's the best answer you can give in this moment, other than the correct
00:08:58.040
Uh, Stu, how many interviews, uh, in the course of my career have I been asked to do?
00:09:17.280
Like we've had that conversation a thousand times.
00:09:21.580
To be clear, you have not lost $10 billion for investors at any point.
00:09:29.440
Um, so, uh, however, people used to say that watched me when I was on Bill O'Reilly.
00:09:47.860
And that never was ever discussed except for the first time I went on Bill O'Reilly.
00:10:00.800
Why did I always not listen to that advice on Bill O'Reilly?
00:10:09.060
Uh, well, I mean, I think you guys actually had a good relationship.
00:10:14.660
And he would push you on things, but you knew it was coming from a good place.
00:10:20.880
He said to me at one point, look, if I think you're wrong, I'm going to tell you you're
00:10:25.600
If I think you're out of line, I'm going to tell you you're out of line.
00:10:28.600
But most of the stuff that you do, I don't think you're out of line.
00:10:32.860
I may not agree with your conclusions, but I don't think it's out of line.
00:10:42.140
I will ask you the hard questions, but it won't be a setup.
00:10:50.500
So, why would Sam go on with the New York Times against all advice?
00:11:02.620
Because he knew he was walking into a friendly room.
00:11:15.000
He knew that there were friends at the New York Times, and he could ask and then answer,
00:11:31.680
I mean, my question is, why aren't you in jail, dude?
00:11:49.320
I care about the people who lost their money, and I'm sure there are people in your audience that have lost money.
00:12:01.560
Somebody who lost $10 billion of investors' money, and he shows up, and people are like,
00:12:15.820
This is money laundering, except it's reputation laundering.
00:12:25.360
I mean, look, I think everybody wants this interview, right?
00:12:30.140
Like, this is, it's not like people are resisting talking to this guy right now.
00:12:33.300
I think, you know, so, but he's selecting who he's going.
00:12:35.500
He's also going on with George Stephanopoulos, apparently.
00:12:44.280
You know, I'm not surprised that the New York Times would take the interview or offer the interview.
00:12:50.140
I'm sure every mainstream, like, financial journalist has offered this interview.
00:12:54.680
He's selecting where he's going, though, right?
00:12:57.200
And this is, you know, we were in that room, weren't we, Glenn?
00:13:04.740
And it's an impressive, impressive room, right?
00:13:09.940
It's like an incredible place for one of these things.
00:13:12.700
We did, just to piss him off, we did an event for The Blaze when we first launched in that same room.
00:13:28.120
And we walked into the New York Times and everybody was like, good Lord, what are these people doing here?
00:13:32.260
They were just hoping that it was some arrest announcement.
00:13:41.500
I mean, it's like, I mean, I watched a good chunk of this interview.
00:13:45.640
And apparently he did almost two hours with George Stephanopoulos that's coming out partially today.
00:13:51.000
Another guy who's not going to really press on.
00:13:54.800
So, how much money were you giving to the Democratic Party?
00:13:58.940
Because that's, you know, I didn't hear one question about that from the Times.
00:14:08.520
Just make sure that he's not tied to any of that.
00:14:12.760
Let's not get into any of how much money was going to the people who are now going to keep him out of jail.
00:14:25.720
One way is the way you're talking about where they will protect him.
00:14:28.940
And I think there's a real argument to be made that that's the way it goes.
00:14:31.940
I think it's maybe the most likely way it goes that he will be protected because of all the money that he was giving to Democrats.
00:14:37.900
There is that part, though, where this does cause problems for Democrats, right?
00:14:46.600
You know, like, you don't want pictures of you when you're running for re-election with Bernie Madoff with your arm around him.
00:14:52.620
And, like, these sorts of problems are going to be real for Democrats going forward.
00:14:59.640
However, you don't have a mainstream press making him in to Ken Lay or Bernie Madoff.
00:15:08.860
I mean, you might be right, but it's going to be hard to whitewash this guy.
00:15:12.140
Do you remember what it was like with Bernie Madoff?
00:15:19.020
Have you seen him being hounded in his Bahamas home?
00:15:25.580
Have you seen the gaggle of, no, I haven't either.
00:15:28.440
No, though, you know, Bernie Madoff was walking down the streets of New York where the footage was taken.
00:15:34.160
I know, but they were also staked out in front of his house.
00:15:36.740
They never let these guys rest because they were on a mission to make sure they showed how evil these people were.
00:15:46.640
So, the people who are average people are not hearing the Sam Bankman-Fried jokes, you know.
00:16:00.560
They seem to—like, they're—the tone of the coverage, and I've watched a lot of it.
00:16:04.360
They are on a mission, but that's a different story.
00:16:06.640
It's like, the way the tone of it is, like, we need to understand.
00:16:11.040
Almost like, we need to understand because this guy who we all said was so great may have done a couple things wrong.
00:16:17.840
So, let's come up with a reason to—or let's let him explain.
00:16:21.600
Give him an ample opportunity to explain why this reason wasn't that he wanted a private jet and a $30 million apartment in the Bahamas.
00:16:29.820
Imagine that I lost $10 million of people's investment, and I was co-mingling funds, and it was an honest error.
00:16:46.940
They'd have people parked outside these windows right now.
00:16:50.680
They are on a mission, and one of the—to me, there are two reasons.
00:16:57.100
He's doing interviews where he knows he won't be pushed on the tough questions.
00:17:14.620
I just believe in giving all this money away, and it just got out of hand, but I wasn't part of it.
00:17:23.560
Don't ask any questions why all of a sudden everything is different.
00:17:27.100
With this guy, then Ken Lay or Enron, and they want to contain it.
00:17:32.980
But the second thing they need to do is make sure America learns the lesson about how bad these unregulated markets really are.
00:17:50.740
We can't just have this cryptocurrency out there.
00:18:00.080
He was leading the band on saying, these people are out of control.
00:18:10.900
So, they need to tell the story that cryptocurrency is bad.
00:18:20.680
And, by the way, we weren't in league with him on that or anything else.
00:18:40.160
Let me tell you about Terry wrote in about her dog's experiences with Rough Green.
00:18:43.540
She says, my two dogs have been on Rough Greens now for four months.
00:18:47.500
I no longer need to give an allergy pill to my dog.
00:18:52.780
I even stopped a probiotic that I was using for them because Rough Greens already has the probiotic.
00:19:00.840
And the other dog who wasn't eating much at all now has a great appetite.
00:19:11.960
It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food and the dogs love it.
00:19:15.740
Meanwhile, they're getting all the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, everything that they need for a healthy life.
00:19:20.940
So Rough Greens, they are so confident your dog's going to love it.
00:19:24.020
They want to send you the first trial bag for free just to make sure they don't want you out of any money if your dog doesn't like it.
00:19:37.580
Go to Rough Greens dot com slash back Rough Greens dot com slash back.
00:19:58.200
The question about Sam Bankman Freed here, as you compare it to Enron, I think is interesting.
00:20:03.040
Because Enron people just categorize as this big fraud that collapsed.
00:20:06.820
But if you go back and you look at that story, there were three main characters in that story.
00:20:13.660
And they all were three different slices of this fraud, different levels of it.
00:20:18.740
Ken Lay largely was a figurehead of that company.
00:20:23.260
He was seeing, you know, big, important people talking generally about concepts.
00:20:32.000
I think he was he was seen as the head and he was that he was the CEO.
00:20:35.580
He's still responsible because you're signing off on everything.
00:20:41.700
He Sam Bankman Freed is trying to tell everybody he's Ken Lay.
00:20:48.540
I wasn't paying attention to every little thing.
00:20:50.540
The next level of that was Jeffrey Skilling, who was operational.
00:20:57.940
But it's, you know, he was the guy who was he was a guy who realized there were problems
00:21:02.520
in the company and believed he was so smart and could beat could could beat the system
00:21:13.300
OK, and was willing to do to do some things over the line.
00:21:18.100
But was like legitimately trying to keep this company together, trying to enrich himself
00:21:24.000
It was more about he was much more concerned with showing how smart he was and how he had
00:21:30.380
And, you know, he's a brilliant guy, but he went to jail for a long, long time.
00:21:34.580
The third level of this is Andrew Fastow, who operationally was going out and actually
00:21:38.960
doing what I view as blatantly illegal things, knowingly setting up fraudulent companies.
00:21:45.520
Skilling was more like, look, whatever we got to do to get through the next month, just
00:21:50.040
And then not necessarily involved in every little step of it.
00:21:52.960
Fastow was the guy executing a lot of that, in my opinion.
00:21:58.760
It's the question of which one is Sam Bankman freed.
00:22:04.160
But see, what they're not doing is comparing him to an Enron.
00:22:09.440
So, because if you compare, you realize all three of those guys went to jail.
00:22:15.280
Yeah, but you know who went to, who had the lightest touch from the law was Andrew Fastow.
00:22:20.940
The guy, the guy who I view as doing the most damage and doing the most illegal things,
00:22:26.500
because he came out and he went to the press and he said, you know, who's really bad?
00:22:31.820
Those guys, you know, it's a totally, there's certainly someone's looking for a path out
00:22:40.980
That's weird because that's kind of the message that we got yesterday at the New York Times.
00:22:46.580
I didn't do anything, you know, you really want to talk to my girlfriend, probably.
00:22:51.640
So, when all the chips are down, and they could be down before too long, the way things are going,
00:23:11.880
The Fed yesterday said they're going to raise the rates again in December, this month.
00:23:21.940
When they do that, the higher they raise rates, the more it hurts the spending in the economy
00:23:29.380
And it also raises the interest rate on your credit card debt.
00:23:33.360
As things get more and more dicey, if they do, those credit card companies are going to
00:23:44.620
You will have an interest rate of 25% on your credit card.
00:24:14.020
You'll save $10 off your subscription to Blaze TV.
00:24:16.640
Every morning, I look at my show prep, and it's about 60 stories.
00:24:30.980
And then I narrow it to the few that can get on the air that we all have time for.
00:24:35.260
And then from there, I narrow down what we have time to talk about.
00:24:38.460
You need to read the 24 hours of work that I and my producers do every day to show prep for this show.

00:24:56.060
Some of the stories that you're going to find today.
00:24:58.680
One, Jerome Powell claims nobody expected inflation to get out of hand like this.
00:25:14.800
You know, I mean, I hate to point out that you also had the economic advisor for the White House under Obama.
00:25:33.220
I mean, I'm just I'm just saying there were some voices out there that said you can't print money like this and spend money like this.
00:25:56.140
No omnibus bill until we take control of the Senate.
00:26:07.400
When was the last time we had an actual budget?
00:26:19.100
How can you possibly run the biggest economy on earth?
00:26:27.720
Can you imagine if General Motors or anybody, anyone who was traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
00:26:34.800
They said, yeah, we haven't done a budget in 15 years.
00:26:46.060
By the way, so the reason why we have inflation is they spent too much money, they printed
00:26:51.780
too much money, and we continue to spend too much money.
00:26:56.320
NPR has freezed hiring and cut their budget because there's a sharp drop in sponsorship
00:27:10.520
So we should get some more money from the government, shouldn't we?
00:27:15.560
They just granted $75 million to move three Native American tribes away from the rising
00:27:27.740
Where are they located that they're near the rising seas?
00:27:35.860
You're going to know right where they are because they...
00:27:59.120
Also, Biden has announced that he wants taxpayers to pay for sex change operations on minors.
00:28:21.400
Not only are we paying for abortions, we're also now paying for the 15-year-old down the street to have their penis lopped off.
00:28:34.360
So, by the way, today's podcast, coming out later today, haven't done it yet, is with a girl who bought into all this stuff, was transitioned to a boy.
00:28:48.040
Now, a couple of years later, is like, this was the biggest mistake of my life and cannot have children anymore.
00:29:09.840
You'll get that tonight if you're a Blaze subscriber.
00:29:24.500
Walmart, the Walton family, are funneling millions of dollars into LGBT activist causes, including drag shows for kids and other DEI programs.
00:29:38.100
He's spinning like a lathe in his grave right now.
00:29:40.480
These are like the third generation Waltons, right?
00:29:44.980
No, I think this is the Alice Walton Foundation and Olivia Tom Walton.
00:29:59.080
They've grown up a little bit differently than Sam did.
00:30:03.220
This is why these people who make all this money and leave it in a foundation, they usually start out very conservative.
00:30:10.380
Not all of them, but start out very conservative and then their kids get it and then their grandkids get it.
00:30:15.980
And before you know it, they are a force for evil.
00:30:24.740
Just because you raise the kids doesn't mean they're going to agree with everything that you believed in.
00:30:32.220
And you get a kid that, you know, if I died today, I was just thinking about this.
00:30:36.860
Because I'm not sure I would leave like the museum pieces that I have to my kids because my kids aren't driven like I am by the history.
00:30:48.740
I know Tim Barton, who's David Barton's son, who's, you know, what, 30.
00:31:10.000
You can't do that and trust that your wealth is going to be used for good in these funds.
00:31:17.980
And, you know, one of the reasons I like Walmart is because of Sam Walton.
00:31:24.600
That's a good argument to just blow all your money on parties and, you know, trips and just things.
00:31:39.480
The EPA has quietly quadrupled the regulatory cost of carbon emissions on fossil fuels.
00:31:47.180
So, it went from $51 per metric ton, now $190 per metric ton.
00:31:55.160
So, that will be a new headache for the oil and gas industry.
00:31:58.960
And you're going to start seeing that passed on to you.
00:32:01.700
By the way, did you see the figures that came out for the hurricane season, which ended yesterday?
00:32:25.260
Now, there were eight hurricanes overall, they say.
00:32:30.620
So, that's an incredibly extreme, outrageous increase that shows that the frequency and intensity is just increasing exponentially.
00:32:42.300
And then there were, they said, two major storms.
00:32:50.740
The second one that made landfall on the other side of Florida was only a category one.
00:32:59.640
I mean, unless I missed a major hurricane somewhere along the way.
00:33:23.620
I mean, people, I just don't think people, do they?
00:33:27.160
Do people understand who you talk to every day, who are just not, you know, newshounds or whatever?
00:33:35.360
Do they understand that the American lifestyle, not just America and your freedoms, but the American lifestyle of being able to have money, to do things, to be able to own land, own your own home, own your own stuff.
00:33:57.620
A lot of it, I think, has to do with what you were talking about with the Waltons, right?
00:34:01.820
Where they're, as a society, we haven't gone through, we've gone through tough times.
00:34:07.980
But, like, I'm reading that new book that's out, I think it's called Power Failure.
00:34:22.140
And it's interesting because they, right up your alley, I guess is the right phrase.
00:34:27.980
So, anyway, they go through this, and I think, I can't remember the years, 1898 and 1907.
00:34:33.860
There were multiple societal collapses in this period.
00:34:39.640
Where, like, you know, 20, 30% unemployment, you know, real questions.
00:34:49.320
Real questions, though, as if the country would survive.
00:34:52.300
Like, J.P. Morgan is credited for coming in in 1907 and, like, bailing out the country from complete and utter collapse.
00:34:59.400
Now, look, obviously, COVID was a situation where, I mean, the entire country shut down for a period.
00:35:10.940
It doesn't feel, I think, to people that we felt that level of pain.
00:35:18.700
The federal government at that time, they had to be bailed out.
00:35:33.120
But the average person was not feeling that because the government wasn't paying for everything.
00:35:39.900
Now we're going to feel the collapse, but we haven't felt any of this real pain because they've been cooking the books.
00:35:50.500
If they're worried about inflation, why aren't they stopping spending?
00:35:57.180
Well, they don't even admit that inflation's a problem.
00:36:05.140
And I think, like, if you think of when there was no government organizations in this period back in the day, there would be real collapses.
00:36:15.500
They wouldn't pay their, they couldn't pay their mortgages.
00:36:18.360
And, like, look, we can all look at this and say, hey, it's, it's, COVID happened, right?
00:36:23.820
We spent six, eight, ten trillion dollars on just paying people to stay home.
00:36:29.360
Certainly that period was softer on the average American than these periods were in the 1900s.
00:36:41.780
You pay the price now in freedom as well as economically down the road, but it becomes disconnected.
00:36:49.040
You know, when we start to pay the price, I guarantee you they will start saying it's because of the do nothing Congress from the Republicans.
00:36:57.920
And you will not tie it back to the trillions of dollars that were spent that are causing inflation that we didn't have.
00:37:08.020
This is why the Federal Reserve, they were able to convince people eventually, because what the message was with the Federal Reserve, there won't be collapses like that.
00:37:17.480
We'll be able to make sure that we balance it because people about every 10 to 20 years, there was a massive depression, but it usually would last 18 months and then it would sprout up again and go.
00:37:30.720
So what's happened is we don't have those 10, 20 year depressions that last 18 months.
00:37:37.340
Instead, we will have big recessions that will last two years.
00:37:43.180
And then when it finally busts, it busts like the Great Depression and what's coming.
00:37:55.240
Imagine what you could do if all of a sudden you were able to cut your phone bill down to a significant amount each month.
00:38:05.160
You also get the peace of mind that comes with knowing that a portion of your bill is going to support conservative causes that you believe in.
00:38:12.900
There are so many things in my life now that I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday about, you know, this these things have to be a movement.
00:38:26.460
This is this is I'm no longer spending my money on really anything other than movements.
00:38:34.400
Because we have got to put our money into places that are helping us, not hurting us.
00:38:40.680
And I'm not saying lose money and I'm not saying get, you know, worse service.
00:38:45.280
And so sometimes I am just saying no service whatsoever.
00:38:48.400
But when it comes to your phone bill, Patriot Mobile is there and we've got to stand together.
00:38:59.840
Call their 100 percent U.S.-based customer service team at 972 Patriot.
00:39:32.720
Hey, by the way, you know, the Sam Brinton, the gender fluid guy who's, you know, dressing up as a woman and pretty much in charge of all of our nuclear waste waste and everything.
00:39:48.400
You know, I just don't think we should ever have a bald guy in charge of our nuclear waste.
00:39:53.080
It's kind of just like that's the canary in the coal mine.
00:39:56.420
You know, I mean, is he losing all of his hair?
00:40:01.160
You know, I've heard a lot of takes on the story.
00:40:06.560
So he's supposed to be the best and everything else.
00:40:11.420
Well, apparently he was at the airport and and he went to go get his suitcase and he picked up someone else's suitcase.
00:40:24.560
Now, this is weird because he didn't have a suitcase that he checked.
00:40:28.280
So it's weird that you'd pick up somebody else's suitcase if you didn't check luggage.
00:40:35.480
It was his, even though he didn't check one, pack one or anything else.
00:40:41.180
Then he takes the luggage and then he kneels down and he he sees the tag and he rips it off and destroys the tag.
00:40:52.280
So they found who took the luggage for this poor woman who was like, where's my luggage?
00:41:12.640
And then he takes all the clothing out of it and tries to claim that his clothing was in it and then goes on multiple trips with the same luggage.
00:41:22.280
And this doesn't sound so good, but a good guy to put in charge of our nuclear waste.
00:41:32.360
I want to talk to you about something that I just found out about and they came on as sponsors.
00:41:46.260
If the supply chain breaks down, let's just say the railroad strike happens.
00:41:56.560
You lose diesel fuel, which we're on the edge of doing that.
00:42:06.300
You know that there's already a shortage on all kinds of prescription drugs.
00:42:11.460
And I'm talking about simple ones like just antibiotics.
00:42:21.140
And it will give you all of the medicines that you might need in an emergency.
00:42:27.060
It will give you all of the antibiotics that you would need.
00:42:31.520
You talk to a doctor and, you know, fill out the form and everything else.
00:42:35.340
But Jase Medical is there in case there's a breakdown.
00:43:30.100
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:43:40.740
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:43:47.980
that Apple might remove Twitter from its app store?
00:43:57.740
Big tech is protecting the voice and the control that they have.
00:44:04.680
And they don't really care about freedom of speech.
00:44:07.880
They don't care about, you know, real, honest, intellectual dialogue.
00:44:11.960
And they certainly don't care about the country
00:44:48.380
going to have to take my FCC test for my license.
00:44:56.440
I've never really known the name of the FCC people
00:44:59.640
because I've never seen them as anything other than an obstacle
00:45:06.240
I know one name of the FCC commissioners in 45 years.
00:45:14.880
And I think he's getting increasingly feeling maybe alone.
00:45:23.860
While the days of clipping coupons may basically be behind you,
00:45:32.760
You want to save money when you're buying groceries,
00:45:35.100
if you're out to dinner, when you're buying gas.
00:45:49.300
because you're going to get a special deal when you do.
00:45:57.440
It will save you a ton of money on gas, groceries,
00:46:02.180
All you have to do is download it at upside.com slash back.
00:46:06.760
Use the promo code back and you'll automatically get 25 cents or more
00:46:11.500
back for every gallon on your first tank of gas.
00:46:15.880
you just find the offer for whatever you're buying on upside.
00:46:33.320
So this guy is the guy they call him the FCC's 5G crusader.
00:46:40.240
He's a guy who cut all of the red tape and really pushed for the high speed networks to be built by private businesses.
00:46:49.660
He is he is also the guy who is one of the big forces behind telehealth,
00:46:58.500
mainly mainly for veterans and low income Americans to be able to get to doctors on their smartphones or tablets or any other connected device,
00:47:10.460
driving down the price and driving up the access to medicine all around the country.
00:47:18.320
And he also like Mike Rowe and I believe in apprenticeships and everything else.
00:47:23.660
This is a I think this guy is a real warrior for what we believe are American truths.
00:47:43.640
if anyone files a profanity or indecency complaint against you,
00:48:03.620
Everybody in the tech industry seems to be against Twitter.
00:48:09.160
it's crazy by letting people talk how they are being accused of destroying free speech.
00:48:20.500
nobody seems to want to do anything about this.
00:48:26.660
Tick tock is extraordinarily dangerous to Americans.
00:48:29.780
Can you fill in why it's a danger and why everybody in America seems to be focused on Twitter,
00:48:56.280
It's popular with millions and millions of Americans,
00:49:00.520
that's just a fun platform for sharing videos and dance memes.
00:49:04.220
And the reality is that's just the sheep's clothing.
00:49:06.320
Underneath it operates as a very sophisticated surveillance technology,
00:49:25.020
even though our parent company is ByteDance is based in Beijing.
00:49:28.780
that's been revealed as nothing more than gaslighting.
00:49:31.080
It turns out that according to internal communications,
00:49:40.460
their COO was testifying in Congress a couple of weeks ago.
00:49:47.520
user data to employees in Beijing who are themselves members of the CCP?
00:49:52.580
And the COO said that she declined to answer that particular question.
00:49:58.780
There's also a new report that just came out that they had this Beijing based
00:50:01.640
operation that was attempting to surveil the location of specific Americans
00:50:07.080
based on their usage of the TikTok application.
00:50:11.940
obviously the concerns that come from the content size,
00:50:18.080
are being fed things like the blackout challenge that's literally convinced
00:50:27.820
And it's something that parents should be worried about as well.
00:50:31.520
because I've tried to explain this to my family.
00:50:47.540
one way to think about it is there's a version of TikTok.
00:50:55.420
And that application shows kids science experiments,
00:51:02.740
here in the U S it's showing kids the blackout challenge.
00:51:10.200
what's really happening when you're using TikTok,
00:51:14.980
what you're doing is you're feeding training and improving China's artificial
00:51:24.700
And they're going to use it for authoritarian purposes,
00:51:30.860
So even if you step back from your own self and your own kids,
00:51:35.520
the idea that we're sending this data and these clicks back to Beijing is
00:51:39.660
And that's going to come around and bite us in ways that are again,
00:51:48.140
was free is they wanted all that information to work on AI.
00:52:02.300
that's here in America to be able to mine for all of that information.
00:52:16.220
They don't understand sort of Western free thinking.
00:52:19.280
And so they need Americans to be on TikTok to be observing their usage of
00:52:24.780
data in order to create their AI and make it a healthy system.
00:52:29.900
So the sooner we cut off data flows back to Beijing,
00:52:32.680
the sooner their version of AI starts to atrophy and go down a separate path in
00:52:42.220
How do we stop training China's artificial intelligence?
00:52:48.940
It can be used for foreign influence campaigns.
00:52:51.000
And where things are right now is this is in the court of the Biden administration.
00:52:54.960
The Treasury Department has a group called CFIUS,
00:52:59.180
And they've been reviewing TikTok for over a year at this point.
00:53:03.140
And the New York Times reports that they've got a preliminary deal in place to allow
00:53:09.140
I think this is a big IQ test for the administration.
00:53:15.280
you just had FBI Director Chris Wray testify last week in Congress and said that the FBI
00:53:22.220
So I don't see how the Biden administration can go forward and bless TikTok to continue
00:53:31.960
saying that it is TikTok that scares the Dickens out of him.
00:53:35.320
But we may very well be heading towards that direction here.
00:53:40.640
I know you wrote a letter to both of them and said,
00:53:49.000
putting aside the content of what's in this application,
00:53:53.420
Google and Apple have very clear terms of service to stay in the App Store.
00:53:57.180
And if data is being used for purposes that aren't being disclosed,
00:54:01.500
or if data is traveling to countries and being accessed from countries without that being
00:54:06.960
there's precedent for Google and Apple to boot apps off the App Store for that,
00:54:14.200
in light of these clearly surreptitious data flows that we're now learning about,
00:54:17.760
just apply the terms of your App Store policies and boot them from the App Store.
00:54:25.100
obviously highly ironic that there was at least the concern this week that Apple might take action against TikTok.
00:54:32.120
if you're pulling advertising dollars or pulling support in Apple's case potentially from Twitter while keeping your support or expanding your advertising on TikTok,
00:54:43.280
you are sending quite the signal about your brand value.
00:54:46.120
I think it's very different than the one you think.
00:54:49.900
because I've got something else I want to talk to you about,
00:55:01.420
six or eight out of 10 children in China want to be astronauts and want to be scientists.
00:55:26.840
they're saying the same thing under a different name over in China is encouraging people to do crazy great things and science and knowledge.
00:55:38.000
And knowledge and education and this same platform is programmed here to really make you as dumb as a box of rocks.
00:55:47.460
I don't think that's I don't think that's just all really.
00:55:54.900
this is why I've talked about TikTok as China's digital fentanyl,
00:56:02.280
from the CCP into the ears and eyes and minds of millions of people.
00:56:09.780
And what they're being served is divisive content.
00:56:27.620
it's incumbent on the Biden administration to step in and take some tough action here.
00:56:39.100
being funded by the private industry and market,
00:57:06.760
it is really important that all of us do everything we can to make sure that our kids understand what the free market is.
00:57:15.320
And we haven't been under a real free market in a very long time.
00:57:20.280
This is the reason why we're having so many problems is because this is a bastardization of the free market with,
00:57:36.880
Tuttle Twins is extending their amazing cyber Monday deal.
00:57:40.620
They're giving 50% of a discount off their free market curriculum designed with activities for both younger and older kids.
00:57:55.200
One of the reasons the Tuttle Twins have sold over 4 million copies is that they make it easy for kids and teens and parents to be able to learn and teach this stuff.
00:58:06.440
your kids will be able to navigate things like inflation and how business and money work in the real world.
00:58:17.120
for 50% off the free market economic curriculum.
00:58:57.240
And it was one of the most vile things I have ever read.
00:59:04.920
I know exactly what I can and can't say with the FCC.
00:59:08.860
And I've always understood those to be community standards,
00:59:18.000
There are times when things need to be heard by the general public.
00:59:26.400
when we are a community standards based system,
00:59:40.100
and during the day when kids should be in school,
01:24:36.520
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:25:06.520
I gotta tell you, there's some science news that is absolutely mind-boggling that is out today.
01:25:14.520
I want to just take a break and just show you a glimpse of what we're dealing with and what's coming our way.
01:25:24.740
You ever find yourself just waiting for the other shoe to drop?
01:25:37.460
This is to remind you how important it is to have a supply of emergency food.
01:25:42.280
The best place to get that is from my Patriot supply.
01:25:45.420
We were just talking about the railroad strike.
01:25:47.640
Congress just passed a bill to force the unions to accept this deal.
01:25:58.180
However, if he did, really bad, really bad things.
01:26:10.280
It's not shipped in first on rail, then in trucks.
01:26:16.060
May I highly recommend that we are so unstable now as a planet that it would be good to have, you know, four weeks emergency food.
01:26:24.400
Right now, you can save 25% on each four-week emergency food kit you need.
01:26:31.240
You'll get at least one for each member of your family.
01:26:34.580
Getting the food doesn't mean you're losing hope.
01:26:36.640
It means you're eliminating the fear and seeing your family suffer.
01:26:40.600
Once you have that out of the way, you don't worry about things.
01:26:54.640
So, Stu, there are two stories that I barely understand.
01:26:59.200
Let me start with the one that I really am a little foggy on.
01:27:03.900
For any mammal, the loss of the Y chromosome should mean the loss of males and the demise of the species.
01:27:12.440
However, the mommy spiny rat manages without a Y chromosome and is puzzled biologists for decades.
01:27:23.820
Now, a Japanese scientist and her colleagues have shown that one of the rats' normal chromosomes effectively evolved into a new male sex chromosome.
01:27:35.180
Now, I hate to get all science-y because I don't know how these rats identify.
01:27:41.400
I don't know any of their pronouns or anything else.
01:27:43.700
So, the reason why this is important is because the Y chromosome seems to be getting weaker and weaker in a lot of mammals, including man.
01:28:11.480
So, that's why they're looking into this because they believe that we are headed for the same kind of thing.
01:28:20.920
I mean, I guess, think of just all the car accidents.
01:28:39.040
That was largely just to piss off Sarah and the other room.
01:28:47.140
So, the next story is a quantum computer has simulated a wormhole for the first time.
01:29:02.260
So, it's like you take a piece of paper and you fold it in half.
01:29:12.720
You would see that there would be two holes in the piece of paper.
01:29:26.900
So, a wormhole is a way to collapse the distance in between those two holes.
01:29:36.840
You go through one hole and you're right there because they're next to each other.
01:29:46.540
You could travel great distances through that quickly.
01:29:55.520
Scientists with a quantum computer have just simulated a wormhole for the very first time.
01:30:03.880
Now, it gets very complex because they say it was a holographic, but it's not exactly a holograph.
01:30:12.020
They just simplified things by taking gravity out of the equation, which gets into Einstein and theory of relativity.
01:30:20.880
So, they had to have something that would take gravity out and see if they could simulate this.
01:30:27.840
And what this means is you could have, without any wires, cables, Wi-Fi, nothing, you can take something digitally
01:30:40.920
and send it from, let's say, my desk to a desk in London and it would exist in both places.
01:30:51.480
And you could close one of the doors and it would either come back to me and only be here or I could close my door and it would be in London.
01:31:09.680
This is, you remember Einstein, when he was, they talked to him about quantum physics.
01:31:18.060
Meaning, there is no super, there's no super position of a molecule or of, I don't even know, of a qubit, they're now called.
01:31:44.480
Remember, the theory of relativity is only a theory.
01:31:49.180
It's the best theory we have on how things work.
01:31:52.400
Quantum comes up and says, I don't think the basic soup, I don't think it really goes with any of those physics.
01:32:02.500
I think it breaks down at some point and starts behaving completely illogically.
01:32:16.920
This, this, this, the things that we have on the horizon are so groundbreaking and just quantum computing.
01:32:26.080
Computing, all of this stuff, we'll change life in ways we, it's like we're standing in the 1200s and trying to imagine today.
01:32:43.340
Like, what would, what would be the end game of this type of technology if it, if it were to come to fruition?
01:32:48.080
Quantum computing is, you will, you will probably solve cancer in a week.
01:32:53.700
You will solve these problems that cannot be solved because it can model a million different things all at the same time.
01:33:01.680
So, remember, Edison said, you know, I didn't find a, I didn't fail a thousand times.
01:33:09.560
I found a thousand ways the light bulb doesn't work.
01:33:12.820
That will, you'll only fail, you'll fail and succeed one time because you'll try all of the combinations all at once.
01:33:27.700
It feels like there are so many things right now on the fringes of science, like where we are really, where scientists are, are, are playing, right?
01:33:38.460
They're, they're at the, the very edges of understanding where they can go, but see the path forward.
01:33:44.360
You know, some of these problems like this one are just beginning to be solved.
01:33:47.620
And there's so many different directions, whether it's, you know, we talked about the singularity or, or whether it's a quantum computing or all sorts of different technologies that it feels like one of these is going to hit in a way that totally changes the world almost immediately.
01:34:03.520
But in a way, let's, let's look at the telephone for a minute.
01:34:06.820
Put yourself back at Alexander Graham Bell's time.
01:34:10.340
Alexander Graham Bell comes up with it and people think, oh, this is great.
01:34:13.680
But nobody's going to have a telephone for a long time.
01:34:19.140
I'll just go to, you know, the town square that will have a telephone and I'll be able to call, you know, Washington if I needed to talk to the president because it was an emergency.
01:34:31.380
They would have never thought, think of the phone today.
01:34:40.700
It, it, it doesn't work with right, with, with, uh, with wires.
01:34:48.700
It's no longer really even for phone conversations.
01:34:51.220
I mean, it's, and that's, I think a really interesting example of how this goes.
01:34:55.160
You think about the singularity for a second, right?
01:34:57.040
Singularity being eventually we merge with machines.
01:34:59.620
Tell me if this is a terrible description, but my very terrible understanding of it.
01:35:03.000
Eventually we merge with computers where we are able to access information instantly because we have maybe a chip in our head or whatever that allows us.
01:35:13.300
And we, we also have a nanobot technology in us, in our bloodstream that is keeping you alive.
01:35:21.220
The nanobots are programmed to take care of your body and it repairs itself through technology, which is connected to AI, a giant machine outside of your body.
01:35:33.320
So, you're one with AI, you're one with machines, you're a hybrid person.
01:35:41.920
So, if you think about, let's just say for information purposes, you want to get an answer about something.
01:35:48.740
In, in this world of the singularity, you want to, you know, know who was, you know, the president of France in 2004, right?
01:35:56.000
You, it would instantly, you'd be able to access that information instantly inside your brain, basically.
01:36:01.620
Right now you have to go to, to Google, open up Google and type in your question.
01:36:07.120
The singularity, the way it would be imagined to be used at its highest level would, oh, who was the president of France?
01:36:25.080
But in a way, what you're describing is essentially the same process, just faster.
01:36:31.680
You are, right now, we have crossed a line to the point where, when we used to do, when we talked about this on radio terms before, radio used to be really fun.
01:36:42.560
Because what you'd be able to do is come on the air and you'd say, what was that movie with Corey Haim?
01:36:49.920
He was a guy and he, and he would go, do you remember, there's two Corey's in it.
01:36:56.260
And then people would call in, they'd say, oh, it was Goonies.
01:37:03.000
And you could do hours on this and people would reminisce about these memories and think about these things and try to figure them out.
01:37:09.560
And now, that's all dead because everyone just goes, Corey Haim, types it in and looks at his IMDB page and knows the answer in five seconds.
01:37:27.500
You don't even think about, I have to store that, or I remember, what's his name?
01:37:31.400
Oh, I remember, we were sitting in a room and it was so-and-so that said, okay, you don't do that.
01:37:41.120
When they want answers from things, they're like, who's, you know, what was the score of the...
01:37:46.760
They just ask the dumb device that I won't screw all the people by saying the name, but they'll ask the device, you know, without trying to think about it for an hour.
01:38:00.100
And that's the same concept of what the singularity could theoretically become.
01:38:04.060
So, imagine if you're going to Italy and you want translation, you'll be able to understand them instantly because it'll be there.
01:38:16.760
You'll probably butcher it because it requires your physical use of your mouth, but it will, you will know how that is supposed to be said and you'll say it.
01:38:28.500
But once that information is gone, you can't communicate in that language anymore.
01:38:39.660
There's memory that you did it, but there's no memory, there's no muscle memory, there's nothing.
01:38:44.260
And this gets to the point that, you know, think about being de-platformed now.
01:38:50.520
What does it mean if the singularity exists and you're de-platformed from all of this knowledge that everyone else can access immediately?
01:39:03.760
When we think about the innovations that happen when these things kick in, we could talk about Alexander Graham Bell, but go back just a decade, right?
01:39:17.000
We've gone from literally no one having these things, or maybe just for occasional phone calls, to the era where everyone expects to have, on these things, five, six hours a day.
01:39:34.220
On the air, I said to you in the 90s that networks and watching shows is, it's not going to be Thursday night at eight o'clock.
01:39:43.200
It'll just, you just will log on and download it, and you'll have all the episodes that you want.
01:39:55.340
And really put very little thought into what it means or how.
01:40:00.180
You sound like you're starting to make a point on this.
01:40:04.200
I just want to live in my fantasy world here for a second and not think about that.
01:40:10.100
The Gold Line, I want to make sure you know about the perils of our current financial situation.
01:40:15.600
If you use history as a tool, look back and learn from history with the hope that maybe we can prevent the disaster from striking again.
01:40:23.880
Now, I don't think we can prevent the disaster, but we can do everything in our power to lessen its impact on us as individuals.
01:40:41.860
I want you to do your own homework, but I want you to do it.
01:40:46.060
Please call Gold Line today and find out why I invest in gold and silver before the big boating accident where I lost it all.
01:41:08.820
Please, even if you have very little money, silver is going to be really, probably really good.
01:41:16.400
And as your dollar just sits in the bank or you're just cashing your check, anything that you have saved, anything will become worth less and less until it's worthless.
01:41:27.520
Every box of historic graded $5 gold Indians, you're going to receive 20 of the one ounce silver Buffalo rounds at no additional cost.
01:41:35.180
That's 20 ounces of free silver with every qualifying order.
01:41:38.860
In addition to that, qualifying orders will receive a personally signed copy of my famous Christmas story, The Immortal Nicklas.
01:41:48.220
Call Gold Line 866-GOLDLINE 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:41:54.480
Okay, so we've changed now our, the way we live over the past decade, basically.
01:42:12.000
And to where you can't live without the smartphones, right?
01:42:17.460
And what we found, and the research is coming out now, what we found, what has happened in this period, is that people are spending much less time.
01:42:35.020
The last study came out, and I found this to be an incredible number, that just over, you know, people had sort of slowly, maybe the time they were spending with their friends had dropped off a little bit before iPhones and such.
01:42:48.780
But since then, the number is 10 hours a week less with friends.
01:43:02.800
It's, it's, I mean, they don't even, they don't want to hang out with each other.
01:43:06.020
They sit next to each other and are on the phone texting one another.
01:43:10.140
They don't, I mean, even they're even alone when they're together.
01:43:13.840
Even when they're spending time together, they're on their phones half the time.
01:43:16.060
And it's like, you take that, that's a massive change.
01:43:20.020
It had been consistent for like a century in this data.
01:43:23.100
Going back, you know, decades and decades and decades.
01:43:25.140
People basically spent about the same amount of time with their friends over an incredible amount of time.
01:43:30.420
And then all of a sudden, like a decade ago, it just starts tanking.
01:43:39.980
They have less of a connection with their fellow man.
01:43:47.180
See, this is the problem that we have not had in this.
01:44:01.560
Because it's going to, there's going to come a time.
01:44:03.900
Remember when they said, when Ronald Reagan said, there's going to come a time when there's no good options on the table.
01:44:09.620
And they'll start to inflate the money and it'll be over.
01:44:13.160
Now, I'm telling you, within five years, if we don't have these intellectual, philosophical conversations, we're screwed.
01:44:23.080
Because the things that are on the horizon will force you to redefine what life is.
01:44:32.460
Or stick with what you know today, which will be outdated and dusty.
01:44:38.400
The basic questions of life itself and humanity and decency and what is a slave, what is free choice?
01:44:49.920
Free choice by 2030, not as a concept, but as a realistic fact of life that you still make your decisions.
01:45:02.280
Even, you know, the way I go into prison and what I'm thinking and feeling, they'll never take that away.
01:45:11.940
We better look ahead and say, which way do we want to go?
01:45:18.880
Because right now we're having giant corporations that are only in it for the money.
01:45:24.780
Governments, who are only in it for power, laying this road right in front of us.
01:45:47.120
So, Michael wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
01:45:50.620
He says, Relief Factor helped to almost completely eliminate my elbow pain when I couldn't find any other solution.
01:45:59.080
It's helped me with a lot of other aches and pains.
01:46:02.000
And since I started Relief Factor, I feel like I have more energy.
01:46:10.720
Relief Factor was developed by doctors to be able to reduce your pain through inflammation and not drug you out.
01:46:22.120
It's a major source of almost all of our pain and almost all of our problems in our body come from inflammation.
01:46:29.400
So, Relief Factor has four key ingredients that each work together with your body as it fights against the effects of aging, exercise, and everyday living.
01:46:41.880
70% of the people who try this and take us directed go on to order more month after month.
01:46:46.880
I'm one of them, and I didn't think it would work for me.
01:47:02.920
Head over to BlazeTV.com slash Glenn before the singularity gets to you.
01:47:23.880
I'm doing a podcast today that is going to be a don't miss.
01:47:32.800
You know, Stu, you were just talking about all these things are changing, and we are not discussing the change.
01:47:42.140
We're just accepting it, and then we see the changes in our family.
01:47:46.540
We see depression go up, and we know what's causing loneliness, depression, comparing themselves to others.
01:47:54.220
We know what it is, but very few are willing to say, get it out of the house.
01:48:05.940
But television was not nearly as destructive as this.
01:48:14.740
And for some reason, even the zealots against this stuff, I'm not a technophobe.
01:48:21.980
I believe in all of this stuff, and I believe it can be used as good, but it has been spun so far out of control that it's destroying us.
01:48:33.060
And nobody's really having that conversation in a logical way.
01:48:36.780
Yeah, and we should also point out, especially for young people, one of the main things hitting them is not just the phone, but what's on it that comes directly from the Chinese Communist Party, by the way.
01:48:48.100
But also the things like there is a reason why five years ago, 15,000 children between the ages of 6 and 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
01:49:00.060
Last year, there were 42,000, and those are just the ones that have been officially diagnosed.
01:49:12.240
20% of the population of millennials is now identifying as other.
01:49:19.320
So they're either gay, binary, furry, or whatever.
01:49:31.580
But anyway, you have 20% of the next generation.
01:49:43.540
Because it's not that suddenly all these people have changed.
01:49:53.380
There's a bunch of different ways you can look at it.
01:49:57.100
It's moving so quickly and so ridiculously that it obviously has to do with technology and the things surrounding the influences that brings into your kid's life.
01:50:09.620
So my youngest daughter had a conversation with me, and this is the reason I'm doing this podcast.
01:50:20.980
But I'm personally doing it because I want to understand compassionate care.
01:50:28.940
We brought in a woman who is considered herself to be transgendered, and she went through surgery and everything else.
01:50:47.040
Now she's 18, and she's like, good heavens, what have I done?
01:51:12.380
She's convinced of it, that she's in the wrong body.
01:51:15.860
Our society is pushing this, and the doctors are pushing for the surgery, mutilation of people.
01:51:31.500
Last night, underage, last night she flew into town.
01:51:36.940
One of our bookers, Sarah, who, God bless her for all the work she does, it's like 1130 at night.
01:51:44.580
She's called, she has to find another hotel, because this hotel won't let him, her, in.
01:52:00.300
It's that this hotel chain has a policy that until you're 21, you can't book a hotel room.
01:52:09.560
You're not adult enough to stay in a hotel room by yourself.
01:52:21.360
So, the girl who could become a boy and have dramatic, traumatic surgery couldn't stay at that hotel.
01:52:33.620
We had to find a hotel that would allow her to stay.
01:52:43.740
You can't do any of these things, but you are allowed to have surgery that's irreversible, that will, I mean, as she, I believe, is going to attest to, just hurting and destroying her life.
01:53:02.660
So, this conversation I had with my daughter, and this is my 16-year-old, and brainwashed.
01:53:11.580
And so, you know, in my family, I mean, you've been around, we, A, joke really hard with each other.
01:53:39.260
And I said, no, she claims to be a he, but she's not a he.
01:53:45.540
And we were talking about somebody young, okay?
01:53:47.760
And I said, you can't just call yourself something and become it.
01:54:06.980
A man who claims he's a woman cannot have a baby.
01:54:12.040
A woman who claims she's a man can have a baby, okay?
01:54:18.340
But just because you claim doesn't make you that thing.
01:54:23.380
And she said, and I don't mean that thing like, you know, that thing.
01:54:27.180
I mean, that whatever it is you're claiming, I'm a bear, I'm a deer, I'm a shoehorn.
01:54:41.720
What do you, what do you, what do you talk, where is my compassion?
01:54:56.240
She needs to be, you know, she's not at the point yet to where she can separate compassion from reality and making sure that you're compassionate and you're still doing the right thing that's good for the individual and society.
01:55:14.400
Yeah, truth, you know, doesn't always have empathy.
01:55:17.540
It doesn't mean you can't have empathy as well.
01:55:21.020
We talked about, and that's why I brought up the science part.
01:55:34.640
But there comes a time when you have to mix the two and you have to find your way.
01:55:42.300
So, one of the things I want to ask for her, was this compassionate care when you were 14 years, 15 years old?
01:56:01.440
What do you wish that somebody would have stood up and went, no, no, no, no.
01:56:15.400
Because, I mean, obviously, treating people terribly is not going to work.
01:56:21.160
Nothing works unless you – and this is what I really dislike from some Christians.
01:56:29.720
Some Christians are like, okay, here's what we're going to do.
01:56:34.300
We're going to go meet that person and, you know, let's talk to them, befriend them, and then they'll come to Christ.
01:56:43.980
I mean, the idea of befriending someone and bringing them to Christ.
01:56:53.160
Well, you don't want to – my goal is to bring you to Christ, so I'll be your friend.
01:56:59.020
I'll be your friend, and maybe you'll see that your life has all kinds of problems that my faith solves.
01:57:11.660
It's not like – it's like saying, I want to be friends with you because I've got a new multi-level marketing berry scheme where I want to send you some berry juice.
01:57:27.740
So – but if you love the person – and, you know, I just had this realization – my – my – my family is just way under attack right now.
01:57:47.680
And I told my – I told my son a couple of weeks ago, you know the problem with children?
01:57:58.900
And I said, the problem with children is as a parent, you can never stop loving them.
01:58:10.920
You – no matter what, you cannot stop loving them.
01:58:14.920
You can try, but you really love your – I mean, maybe they're a murderer, but you really – and they murdered your wife, and you loved her.
01:58:29.580
You might be really like, I don't want to see you right now.
01:58:38.680
God works and see, stands there, and he's just like, don't do that.
01:58:43.580
When you do that, this consequence is going to come from that.
01:58:56.200
This is only going to cause you so many more – stop making the same decision.
01:59:20.360
It's really – it's pretty easy if you just – no, okay, don't.
01:59:28.400
Like, what, what can make a situation like you're talking about, a teenager that goes
01:59:31.880
through some sort of social media conversion to be, you know, to believe that they're
01:59:36.060
transgender and goes through terrible, painful, you know, surgeries and all these things.
01:59:41.320
How do you, how do you stop that from happening?
01:59:44.820
You know, every time, every year at the Super Bowl, the fetus truck drives by and it
01:59:48.040
drives by and it's got a bunch of giant pictures, pictures of fetuses that have been,
01:59:54.040
They're disemboweled on the side and it's like, it looks awful and I recognize that
01:59:58.060
that's part of why abortion is bad, but it doesn't change minds.
02:00:02.040
It's just people go, oh, look at that jerk in the fetus truck.
02:00:05.040
Rafe and I went to a Cowboys game, okay, just a couple of weeks ago and this guy was standing
02:00:10.080
in front of the stadium with a big, you know, speaker and microphone and he was like, you
02:00:28.940
You have to love people and have compassion for them and then just quietly state the truth.
02:00:42.060
A lot of times people think, well, if I'm yelling with the microphone off of the fetus
02:00:46.980
truck, like in some ways, because you feel so justified in a correct position here that
02:00:56.660
And a lot of times you're doing those things because it feels good to you to be able to
02:01:01.360
If your goal is actually to help other people recognize what might be very, very true in
02:01:06.080
these important circumstances, you have to think about approach.
02:01:09.680
Just being a badass and coming out and saying the most difficult things and screaming at
02:01:14.000
people in their faces isn't always the best solution.
02:01:17.300
That podcast, by the way, is going to be released tonight.
02:01:19.920
I'm going to do it here in just a little while and then you'll get it if you're a Blaze subscriber.
02:01:23.540
Otherwise, you can get it on Saturday with the podcast.
02:01:28.400
Thanksgiving, Black Friday behind us now, which means it's officially time for the holidays.
02:01:36.100
Right now, Legacy Box has the Cyber Monday event that is still going on.
02:01:41.240
You can save 65% off of digitizing all of your old videotapes and photos.
02:01:52.620
Millions of people have trusted Legacy Box with the preservation of their families' recorded
02:01:58.320
We have to, all of us, engage in saving history.
02:02:11.320
You will save the 65% off because you bought the box during Cyber Week.
02:02:18.440
You can do it sometime next year and send it in and you'll save.
02:02:56.140
We're just playing this music because I really want to hack the mullahs off by playing Christmas
