Lots of businesses are seeing the writing on the wall and beginning to divest themselves of woke programs.
00:01:03.000
And staying on top of which companies you should and shouldn't invest in is actually a lot of work.
00:01:08.000
It's hard to know just who to invest in and who not to invest in.
00:01:13.000
Fortunately, as an investor, you can influence company policies like DEI, CRT, and ESG by exercising shareholder proxy voting and reducing your investments in companies that just don't align with your values.

Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program
00:03:04.600
I want to explain what happened with the Supreme Court
00:03:08.680
Also, in space, there was a press conference yesterday
00:03:14.220
And something was revealed or confirmed on something that Elon Musk had said just last week
00:03:25.680
You ever look at the businesses on the side of you and think about the people inside?
00:03:29.120
Just hardworking Americans trying to keep the lights on?
00:03:32.800
If you go inside any of those businesses, you can see it on their faces
00:03:36.200
Or if you talk to them, they'll tell you themselves
00:03:38.280
The dollar is getting squeezed in every direction
00:03:43.700
Much less set aside for retirement and help your kids in the future
00:03:50.960
Well, God willing, Trump's economic policies are the whirlwind change
00:03:55.100
That we're going to need to see in this country
00:03:59.380
And it's going to get worse before it gets better
00:04:01.700
You should be building a protective hedge around anything that you do have
00:04:06.500
So you have something left if something goes really bad
00:04:25.000
Also, you can ask them how to receive $15,000 in free gold or silver with qualifying purchase
00:04:46.340
That has been hanging over America for the last four years
00:05:04.080
But there is a shadow that was cast by Joe Biden
00:05:13.100
It was a presidency that turned its back on those it swore to protect
00:05:25.220
Yesterday, one of the astronauts that has been marooned
00:05:35.180
They were marooned on the International Space Station
00:06:03.040
The chance that it might make Donald Trump look really, really good
00:06:14.420
Symbols of a nation that once reached for the stars
00:06:26.660
But this, unfortunately, wasn't an isolated failure
00:20:06.360
Or the ache that just won't quit after a hard workout
00:20:09.220
If you're one of the people who suffer from pain
00:20:18.560
And I know because I was going through terrible pain of my own on a daily basis for a long time
00:20:23.040
But the only thing that broke its back was Relief Factor
00:20:27.300
And over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start kit
00:20:30.160
70% of them have gone on to order it again and again
00:20:32.840
If you're somebody who's been living in pain in your life
00:45:00.660
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
00:45:29.500
something has changed in america for the better i think we all feel it whether we know it or even
00:45:38.400

00:47:17.600
for me my eyes opened up to some things and i don't know i don't know exactly why but some things
00:47:24.900
really came clear to me yesterday and that is what we're waking up to
00:47:30.580
trump in the last election are symptoms we think that that is what's driving but it's not it's not the
00:47:39.600
reason it's a symptom and it's all wrapped up in the collective denial of what is true and real
00:47:45.820
so let me what is true and real have you noticed that the cowboy the rugged west is making a comeback
00:47:55.760
you see it in television you see it everywhere it's making a comeback all of a sudden why
00:48:02.080
and it's it's coming at the same time our politics are changing so which is the chicken and which is the
00:48:12.960
egg the cowboy this rugged west yellowstone the tv yellowstone or taylor sheraton and all of his
00:48:25.660
many 800 shows that seem to be on television that's not what brought the cowboy back it's not kevin costner
00:48:33.240
on tv grumbling about the land and the legacy it's not it it's deeper than that it's in some ways it's
00:48:42.040
that jagged spine of the grand tetons it's the open sweep of the grass that rolls out like god
00:48:49.600
himself just unrolled it and was like how far can that go it is the untamed west
00:48:55.720
but it's not that because that's a postcard that's on a tv screen that's something that nobody in new
00:49:06.120
york sees it's something that people all over the country have never actually seen themselves
00:49:11.820
but yet they have that thumping or humming in their chest and it's something that has been in every
00:49:20.220
american for a very long time and it has been waiting for us to listen to it you know the the press
00:49:29.660
mainstream media they couldn't figure out yellowstone at all look at you crazy people i just want they just
00:49:35.040
want that train station to actually exist it wasn't the vigilante stuff that attracted us to yellowstone
00:49:41.800
the bodies dumped in the dark to settle scores or how beth acted or what she said sure that played a
00:49:47.140
role it was entertaining but that's not what we felt that was the noise what got underneath our skin
00:49:55.840
was that there was justice to it not vigilante not perfect not polished but there was justice
00:50:06.900
a line somebody was drawing a line in the sand a common sense line that said you know what some
00:50:14.540
things matter too much to let slide and what were those things they were heritage it was family it was a
00:50:22.260
way of life that's worth planting your feet for the whole show is about the duttons losing the ranch
00:50:29.200
or is it or is it about fighting for something that cannot be left behind it shouldn't be left behind
00:50:39.580
was it the dutton ranch or was it the american way and not something on a bumper sticker or slogan
00:50:46.220
but a heartbeat something that is deep in all of us and we feel it i don't care if you're kicking dust
00:50:54.340
in wyoming or you're kicking a coffee cup in the streets of new york it's there and it's not the hat
00:51:02.300
those represent this i guess because it's the cowboy and what does the cowboy represent a handshake
00:51:11.060
that means something a promise you don't break because your world word is the only thing you own
00:51:21.000
it's taking your hat off for a woman it's saying yes ma'am no sir because respect isn't optional
00:51:31.280
it's standing up and not just for yourself but for your family for your land your way of life
00:51:40.500
the things that are worth defending the things that you have been told for the last 20 years
00:51:48.880
it's righting wrongs when the law is too slow or too blind to see what's what
00:51:57.780
it's a fierce independence the kind that says you know what i don't have anything against you
00:52:04.200
but i'm going my own way i'm going to chart my own path
00:52:06.320
i'm going to do what others swear that just can't be done
00:52:10.040
i'm sorry you think it's too tough i don't think so nothing's too big
00:52:17.120
and the grit of an american then nothing's too big
00:52:29.620
i don't know how to describe it it's us it's in all of us
00:52:39.200
whether you i mean i'm not somebody that would have crossed the rockies in a creaking wagon i would
00:52:45.360
have stopped way before that you know snow biting at my hands you know uh-uh
00:52:50.160
strangely i am kind of the guy that wouldn't mind being strapped to a rocket and
00:52:55.620
shot up just to stab this red planet of red dust million miles away or however far it is
00:53:10.280
they don't do it for god or country that's what the left would tell you it's jingoism
00:53:18.720
they do it because of god and country because of what god and this country made us
00:53:27.280
it's simply who we are it's why the rest of the world never understands us
00:53:32.700
and yet when we live up to those ideals when we live up to what this land and god created with us
00:53:40.280
when we live up to who we really are the world loves us
00:54:09.180
they they make you and when you answer it's not about proving something to anybody else
00:54:17.880
because that's what the soul of this country is asking for
00:54:32.160
that's why i go to the mountains every chance i can get
00:54:36.420
i love my ranch not to escape but to remember to breathe the air that is sharp and clean cold in the morning hot during the day
00:54:48.460
yellowstone was not big on tv because it was a show
00:55:07.680
what we it it's all about what we've been missing
00:55:20.840
or listening to other people convince us of lies
00:55:33.360
we're wrapping ourselves in denim that's not afraid to touch grass
00:56:16.280
and it comes again under the brim of a cowboy hat
00:56:38.160
that likely has never gone anywhere on horseback
01:26:57.620
Feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
01:27:20.700
Yesterday I was with Kid Rock because he made an announcement that he is in a partnership with PBR and the rodeo.
01:27:32.640
He's got the new Rockin' Rodeo that he has partnered with.
01:27:36.660
He's going to be at the World Finals at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
01:27:43.680
If you've never been to Fort Worth, I mean, it is the place to go.
01:27:47.700
If you're anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is to go down to where the Coliseum is.
01:27:52.340
It is this historic building of rodeo, and they've just redone it.
01:27:57.840
It is a slice of America and the American West.
01:28:02.080
We're going to talk about some of the values that I've been talking about today with Sean Gleason.
01:28:08.240
First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
01:28:10.480
We've been dealing with a lot of issues in this economy.
01:28:21.180
You sell, you're going to have to turn around and get a mortgage rate at a higher rate.
01:28:31.040
Or what if you just want to see what the other options are, you know, sitting there waiting for you?
01:28:35.860
You are going to need the right real estate agent.
01:28:38.680
You're going to want a really good one, the one that knows your market, knows the best practices.
01:28:43.660
And over a decade ago, I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:28:47.040
And what it does is we go and we vet these people six ways to Sunday.
01:28:50.820
I mean, we are a rubber glove away from a rectal exam to make sure these people are the right people.
01:28:56.180
Somebody who really knows those best practices.
01:28:58.580
Somebody who understands the crazy housing market.
01:29:05.120
You'll get a real great professional realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:29:10.000
You just tell us where you're moving from and to, whether it's across the street or across the country.
01:29:20.440
The PBR is a professional bull riders association.
01:29:23.920
And I have to tell you, if you have never been to a rodeo, I went to the Coliseum probably 10 years ago when I first moved to Dallas-Fort Worth.
01:29:34.260
And I go to the Coliseum and I'm with people from New York.
01:29:39.060
They're the kind that got off the plane and saw Dallas and went, where are all the cows?
01:29:47.380
And as soon as the kids got on the back of the sheep, they immediately began looking for attorneys.
01:29:58.780
But everywhere else in the country, that happens.
01:30:11.060
We had the Kid Rocks Rock and Rodeo that we added and paired with the PBR World Finals.
01:30:17.300
We not only brought in Kid Rock to help redefine the entertainment experience, but we turned rodeo into a team sport and head-to-head competition.
01:30:29.980
I have to tell you, I was with, last summer or the summer before, I think, I was with somebody who was from Scotland.
01:30:38.160
And he was like, you know, they pick up the big stumps and they throw them, you know, throwing rocks.
01:30:43.920
And they're like, that's a real man's sport, you know, whatever.
01:30:48.280
And he said beforehand, he's like, this is ridiculous.
01:30:55.120
This guy was, you know, in their special, the highest level of their special forces.
01:31:01.480
The gate opened and the first 10 seconds went by and he looked at me and he said, why haven't I been here before?
01:31:17.440
And I mean, you think about it and at one point in time, rodeo was the only sport in America.
01:31:24.620
And it's amazing to me after 26 years of travel in this country, just how far removed people in urban environments are from one of this important pieces of history and heritage in our country.
01:31:38.300
The sport of rodeo, Western sports, Western lifestyle.
01:31:41.800
And so I've had the good fortune to travel this country back and forth from Madison Square Garden to L.A. and teach people a little bit about it.
01:31:50.160
So do you guys go into Los Angeles and those areas?
01:31:56.800
We sold out three nights at Madison Square Garden in January, just a couple months ago.
01:32:09.780
And I'm like, well, if you go to New York City, Friday night's a bunch of suits that come out and they're looking for a good time.
01:32:16.060
Saturday is women between the ages of, you know, 25 and 40 that are looking at cowboys and tight jeans.
01:32:23.600
And then Sunday's a bunch of families where people bring their kids.
01:32:26.620
And it's just an amazing experience to bring some of those values back to urban places like New York that haven't seen it in a long, long time.
01:32:38.540
We did a story on something where there's some kids were, you know, a mom.
01:32:44.260
A mom was arrested for letting her kid go across the street from his house at eight or ten years old and just play.
01:32:51.840
And the cops came to her and arrested her for child neglect.
01:33:00.220
And this is, I really think this is the spirit of the rodeo.
01:33:04.960
When you're responsible and you understand your kids and you understand, you know, what life is really all about.
01:33:10.400
There were these two kids in California that wanted to meet Teddy Roosevelt.
01:33:18.360
These two kids, eight and ten, told their parents they wanted to go meet him.
01:33:27.760
It took them three months to get to Washington, D.C.
01:33:31.200
But by the time they got there, there were so many press reports about these two kids that just wanted to go see the president that they actually met Teddy Roosevelt and went to the White House and everything else.
01:33:44.240
You know, it's just it's just so different now.
01:33:47.800
I mean, you know, some people would like us all to wear bubble suits.
01:33:51.440
I guess we put we put, you know, 150 pound cowboys on the backs of bulls and and pay them millions of dollars to do it.
01:33:59.240
And some people have criticized that and said we shouldn't allow that.
01:34:06.740
I mean, it's not it's not a sport that is just played for sport.
01:34:12.460
You know, when you see the cowboys go out and they rope the cattle that that that is a skill they use every day, you know, and the combination of those horses.
01:34:24.920
I mean, I know why they cost millions of dollars the way those horses anticipate and and move with the rider.
01:34:38.800
I mean, cowboys fed America for a long, long time.
01:34:42.020
And that's where it was born out here in the West.
01:34:43.920
And, you know, they had to it was the greatest cultural melting pot, too, if you think about it, because it was freed freed blacks from the east.
01:34:52.560
It was Irish immigrants that couldn't find work.
01:34:56.500
They hooked up with Native Americans and the Mexican vaqueros and they created the cowboy and they depended on one another.
01:35:04.280
They lived on the trail and they drove those cattle back and forth and fed the East Coast.
01:35:09.340
And it's one of the the great stories of cultural diversity and hard work, honesty, integrity, values.
01:35:17.760
I mean, it's people don't people have no idea who Bill Pickett is anymore.
01:35:23.500
He was probably one of the most famous black men in the 1920s in all of America.
01:35:41.560
I think it is that he he was a he was a rancher and just tough as nails and also a silent movie star.
01:35:49.080
And he said that he saw his dog grab the bull, jump up, grab the bull by the lower lip and pulled him right down to the ground.
01:36:03.980
And, you know, we have he actually would get onto the bull.
01:36:06.520
He would jump off his horse, grab the bull with his mouth on the lower lip of the bull and turn him down.
01:36:19.580
And a few years back, we put the very first black rodeo on national television on CBS, had huge ratings and have supported those guys ever since.
01:36:31.400
And we have now an event in Cowtown two weeks ago, sold out Cowtown for Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.
01:36:37.900
I heard that I was talking to the guy who's running Cowtown now, and that is the arena in Fort Worth.
01:36:56.040
Bill Pickett occasionally when their tour permits.
01:36:59.920
And PBR actually partnered with the Stockyards Heritage Group.
01:37:04.460
We actually run that building and facilitate all those events now.
01:37:10.700
I was living in New York and I was on CNN to my shame, but I was on CNN.
01:37:17.200
And I used to say all the time, look, I don't know what I'm doing.
01:37:21.000
You know, I'm a rodeo clown and in trying to tell you the news.
01:37:24.640
And then I got a letter from the president of the Rodeo Clown Association.
01:37:29.140
And he said, do you have any idea what rodeo clowns do?
01:37:33.280
And, you know, I hadn't been to a rodeo since I was a kid.
01:37:37.720
And I don't think as a kid you can fully appreciate what those guys do.
01:37:50.240
Not often killed because they're pretty damn good at what they do.
01:37:55.840
But, you know, we, no disrespect to the Rodeo Clowns organization, but we took them out of the clown outfit and we put them into uniforms.
01:38:06.080
And one of the reasons we did that is because they're the best athletes on the field.
01:38:10.500
They face every bowl, protect every cowboy on every single out.
01:38:16.140
And they're on that dirt for every single one of the outs.
01:38:23.120
And but the thing I'm most proud of is they wear the U.S. Border Patrol uniform because they are the PBR's Border Patrol safety team.
01:38:31.120
So let me ask you, the you're using the Coliseum in in Fort Worth coming up.
01:38:42.840
And you're using the Cowtown Coliseum, which is a new venue.
01:38:46.820
And I won't mention the old venue because I don't even know if this is true.
01:38:50.020
But I hear the old venue wouldn't allow the United States Border Patrol to come in with guns.
01:38:57.560
You wanted to honor them and they wanted to come in with guns.
01:39:08.460
So you're not you're you've moved it to a much smaller venue.
01:39:11.900
You've got to be losing money on that like crazy.
01:39:14.460
Well, we also took the finals to AT&T Stadium, which is the largest venue on the planet.
01:39:19.120
So we have both the smallest and the largest venue.
01:39:28.440
And one was in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the building basically said the U.S. Border Patrol couldn't come in with their sidearms.
01:39:38.000
They wanted them to surrender them to a guy in a shack at the back of the building in order to come in.
01:39:45.280
And that was the color guard from the U.S. Border Patrol.
01:39:52.060
You have a badge and you are a law enforcement.
01:39:57.960
And so that's that's what bugs me is the disrespect that was given to the U.S. Border Patrol with them not recognizing that they could disarm the local Charlotte or or Fort Worth police officers who has what is making eight dollars an hour.
01:40:14.400
They could arrest them and charge them with obstruction of justice, basically.
01:40:19.840
I mean, or a failure to allow a federal officer to do their job.
01:40:24.840
Any policeman with a badge, any current law enforcement, and on the federal level, it's illegal to take their gun.
01:40:34.540
Yeah, and I thought we had ended that in Charlotte six or seven, eight years ago, and we haven't been back to Charlotte.
01:40:41.820
And I ran into it in another building in Fort Worth, and I moved our event.
01:40:55.000
Most of the time, it's, you know, it's a building policy.
01:40:58.220
And they're they're in place to protect the patrons that are there.
01:41:02.440
It's a it's a federal agent, but not the federal agent and especially not my my heroes at the U.S. Border Patrol.
01:41:09.760
It's just don't disrespect the federal officers.
01:41:15.960
My family and I will be there and we just love it.
01:41:25.000
And one of the things that I think we wanted to accomplish with it is rodeo has become the opening act for big music acts.
01:41:34.320
So if you go to Houston, nothing against Houston, but it's 21 days of concerts that are preceded by a rodeo.
01:41:41.320
And people have become accustomed to showing up a little late, not really hanging out for the whole rodeo because they're waiting for it.
01:41:50.300
They're waiting for whatever artist is is coming up at the in the evening show.
01:41:56.980
I've never allowed the PBR to be an opening act for anybody.
01:42:03.140
Because when I he and I sat and envisioned this whole plan, I said, we have to change the paradigm on how entertainment is delivered to the fans.
01:42:12.760
And we've integrated his performance pre, during and post.
01:42:20.620
I tell you, every time I've seen these places do like Fourth of July events and it was all about the country.
01:42:26.840
It was all about patriotism and then they would introduce an act and then over years, the act had to get bigger and bigger and bigger and it just everything else was lost.
01:42:36.180
People were coming for the concert and they really didn't care about the patriotism and the message of the day.
01:42:43.860
And our athletes go through too much and are too committed to being professionals to allow them to be overshadowed by the music act or another form of entertainment.
01:42:55.920
Sort of like the Kamala Harris rallies from the most recent campaign.
01:42:59.120
She's throwing Beyonce on the stage and they don't leave.
01:43:05.640
But I will tell you, Rodeo, if you've never been to one, you've got to go.
01:43:11.120
And I will tell you, kid, I said this to kid yesterday and he's like, right.
01:43:16.440
I said, the sexiest women on the planet are the women who are on the horse with the flag at the beginning of the rodeo that ride around the ring with the flag.
01:43:40.200
And they usually have on shiny outfits with some fringe on them.
01:43:43.200
I mean, I just I mean, I feel a little kind of dirty looking at it like that's beautiful.
01:43:55.220
If you want to find out more, go to their website, PBR World Finals dot com PBR World Finals.
01:44:07.740
And Kid Rock's Rock and Rodeo with partnership with PBR is happening during the World War.
01:44:13.900
That's May 16th through the 18th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
01:44:23.580
I want to talk to you about something that you cannot afford to ignore.
01:44:26.560
We are living in a world gone absolutely stark raving mad.
01:44:30.180
Even now in the Trump era, we're seeing government spending spiraling out of control.
01:44:33.980
Inflation is eating our savings like a kid who's found candy and a dollar that's losing its value faster than a Democrat loses their principles.
01:44:45.840
That pit in your stomach sometimes is warning of it.
01:44:48.880
You know another shoe could drop at any moment.
01:44:51.200
Look, we're going to get better, but it's going to get harder first.
01:44:54.800
And Lear Capital has your back with precious metals, gold and silver, the bedrock of wealth for centuries.
01:45:00.940
Precious metals have been the hedge against chaos, the hedge against inflation.
01:45:04.940
I mean, as you see inflation going up, have you noticed gold is going up as well?
01:45:18.060
See why gold could be headed for record highs when you call 800-957-GOLD.
01:45:22.640
Also ask how you can receive up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase.
01:45:44.160
The Kid Rock interview comes out today, and you don't want to miss it.
01:45:55.700
You know, he was just playing golf with Elon Musk and Donald Trump last Sunday.
01:46:05.500
Kid Rock, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk on a golf course.
01:46:12.840
I mean, when he talks about Elon Musk, it's wild.
01:46:36.200
If I remember right, obviously, he came out and he shot the cans.
01:46:41.300
And then later on, it kind of was like, you know, like, maybe the punishment has already
01:46:47.940
You know, you never ask a question that you're not pretty sure you know the answer to.
01:46:54.200
He really felt as himself, not the Kid Rock character.
01:47:05.080
And sometimes it means, okay, let's move on past this scar.
01:47:15.880
I do if Bud Light, if Anheuser-Busch would have come out and said, whoa, wow.
01:47:21.480
Their actions indicated at least they very much wanted people to believe that's their
01:47:28.600
I read the book on the Bud Light madness in Anheuser-Busch.
01:47:35.980
I don't even need people to agree with me on saying things, though.
01:47:38.460
I just want them to just, you know, make their products.
01:47:58.060
Your neighbor's crying over his dead phone, unable to imagine the day without TikTok or
01:48:05.720
Imagine how many people are going to be jonesing.
01:48:07.440
I mean, it's going to be an insane asylum if we have to go like three days without the
01:48:14.020
You're running the fridge, maybe even firing up popcorn because tonight's movie night at
01:48:17.960
You can watch the movies, but not without popcorn.
01:48:20.720
You know, that's in the Bible somewhere, I think.
01:48:22.740
Anyway, what's the difference between you and the unfortunate neighbor that's jonesing?
01:48:30.420
You're the type of person who does a lot of that preparing with My Patriot Supply.
01:48:33.980

01:49:01.280
Get your Grid Doctor 3300 with EMP intercept technology now at MyPatriotSupply.com.
01:49:36.580
I went to one here, like when we first moved down here and it was cool.
01:49:40.360
Like, I mean, they're incredible at what they do.
01:49:46.760
It's kind of like, I don't think people understand the, the athleticism of a NASCAR or an F1 driver.
01:50:00.360
Much more than the Canadians brushing the ice with the stones.
01:50:08.180
But the same thing, I don't think people understand.
01:50:10.720
I mean, these guys, I don't know how they walk.
01:50:14.200
It's like, I like football after a while, but these guys aren't making football, you know, salaries.
01:50:22.840
But I don't, I don't know how you put your body through that.
01:50:28.140
And when you see them, they're riding the bull, they just need eight seconds, eight seconds.
01:50:33.860
And when you can't stay in a bull for eight seconds and then you fall off and you fall off while the back end of the, the bull is up and you fall off and you're down now underneath where the hooves are going to come back down.
01:50:51.120
And I, I, I, I just don't understand it, but that is as impressive and, and maybe in some ways less impressive because it happened so fast.
01:51:04.160
Um, then when the, the, the rider and the horse, these horses, you know, I, I remember saying to somebody, yeah, like 10 years ago, you know, I go up and I, I'm all hat and no cattle.
01:51:19.120
I have a hundred and 150, maybe tops at some point when all the calves are grown up.
01:51:25.400
Uh, that's what I have for cattle, but I, I, I don't do anything with them.
01:51:36.740
I ride around in my cowboy hat and I'm like, yeah, you got to rustle up them cattle.
01:51:41.980
And then I go, you know, go inside and I read a book or something.
01:51:45.460
Um, but when you see, I remember saying about 10 years ago that, that horse is worth how much, you know, you don't think about it with a Kentucky Derby.
01:51:57.280
These horses, you know, they're trained that the best horses are trained with Buffalo.
01:52:03.000
No, you know, because what they have to do is they have to, when you're rounding up cattle, you got a whole bunch of them.
01:52:10.140
I tried to do it myself, uh, you know, in a, a four wheeler, my cow, I was just told, just get that cow back here.
01:52:22.020
I get in, but my cow ended up like at a mountaintop, you know, with me, like, they're like, how did you even do this?
01:52:32.480
Every time I get in front of him, he'd go someplace.
01:52:34.420
So anyway, it's really hard, but these, they, they trained the best horses with Buffalo because Buffalo don't stop.
01:52:46.840
These horses will come in and they will trap to try to get them with the herd.
01:52:52.160
And they're just like, you know, have you ever done this with like a kid where you're like, go ahead, try to get past me.
01:53:00.840
And when you connect that with the rider and then a wild bull, it's incredible.
01:53:10.500
Um, you know, I mean, it's, it's, uh, I grew up in Connecticut.
01:53:14.160
So there wasn't a ton of rodeo stuff that I didn't do.
01:53:22.440
But anyway, uh, I was with Kid Rock yesterday, uh, and I asked him cause he's now doing stuff with the rodeo.
01:53:37.160
So we're here at, uh, because you're starting something with PBR and the, the rodeo.
01:53:59.100
You know, I grew up, I grew up north of Detroit.
01:54:01.480
Um, we had six acres, a couple of horses, you know, beautiful home, beautiful spread and all that.
01:54:06.880
But, um, so no, it was far from growing up as a cowboy or rodeo.
01:54:10.280
Although, you know, my parents were into that stuff, you know, they used to go like to watch this fiddle player, Sneaky Pete,
01:54:16.580
And, you know, dad liked to ride his horse and things like that.
01:54:20.080
So it wasn't until probably 20, I don't know if it was 20, 25 years ago when I started performing at high levels and started doing rodeos.
01:54:36.880
First time you go to a rodeo, I remember I was on CNN and I used to call myself a rodeo clown.
01:54:42.680
Until I got, the president of the Rodeo Clown Association wrote to me and said, do you know what rodeo clowns do?
01:54:52.860
I mean, it is really badass to use your language.
01:54:57.020
And, you know, it's one of the toughest sports.
01:55:02.160
I mean like cowboys and that whole lifestyle, cowgirls, they're just tough people.
01:55:07.460
I mean, just the way they live, they work so hard, the way they raise their families, the way they love this country.
01:55:14.840
Let me go to the next clip because we talked about also how, let me use the word not tough, not the word he chose, how not tough America has become.
01:55:41.320
Was somebody drunk when they put these clips together?
01:55:44.480
He was just talking about how it's just the, I don't think I can use that language.
01:55:51.400
It's language that I use, but I don't know if it's even legal to use that language on this particular word because it is perfect.
01:55:59.540
It is a perfect word on how he describes what we become.
01:56:02.900
And, you know, we used to, we used to go out at night, kids, and you're like, you know, you get your bike and you'd go to a rock quarry and you'd have a rock war with your friends.
01:56:18.660
And I think this goes to what we have been in the last 20 years.
01:56:29.280
He said, you know, I hate, you know, helmets on your bike.
01:56:35.040
But then you look at it as a parent and go, yeah, well, but what if?
01:56:39.240
And then, you know, number one, it's, you know, it's a terrible outcome for your kid.
01:56:44.440
And then number two, like, it feels like your fault if you don't take those steps.
01:56:58.320
You know, we've talked about this before in that, what do they call it, free range parenting.
01:57:02.680
And it's like, you know, I know logically, number one, really good for kids to be independent
01:57:14.540
Number two, I also know that it's safer now than it ever was.
01:57:19.940
I mean, the stat that always blows me away, and thankfully not literally, was that there
01:57:25.140
were more school deaths by school shooting when I was in high school than today by a big
01:57:39.160
That's because they were a different style of school shooting.
01:57:41.680
They were more like a couple people would get hit, and there would be fights.
01:57:44.620
It wasn't like the marquee, I'm trying to get attention for myself and kill as many people
01:57:49.520
as possible stuff that kind of developed later.
01:57:51.540
But when it comes to actual deaths of shootings in high schools, it was more common then.
01:57:59.240
What you're saying is you're admitting to being really almost a ringleader in getting
01:58:18.400
No, because we just keep weakening things down and weakening things down until everybody's
01:58:25.420
got to be safe, and then there's nobody who's like, shut up.
01:58:31.760
And it's like, I know at a societal level, it is totally the right thing.
01:58:37.080
And I think even the right thing for my individual kid.
01:58:39.560
But when it comes down to making those decisions.
01:58:43.740
Well, I mean, again, I think we started this with you guys both agreeing at this point.
01:58:47.680
So I don't know why I'm being singled out as the only one who's ever thought this way.
01:59:00.620
Like, I have to make myself allow those situations.
01:59:08.060
My wife will come out, you know, one of the kids will be bleeding or something, you know,
01:59:11.880
lost their arm and, you know, they're playing with a saw.
01:59:47.580
Oh, it's just full of scoundrels and scumbags, rip off con artists.
01:59:53.220
I mean, what business, let's take a record company, what business basically could give
01:59:59.140
Now, of course, they do promotion and artist development and things like that.
02:00:03.200
When you break it down to brass tacks, kind of giving you a loan.
02:00:07.200
And then after that, they basically take 80% of everything you make.
02:00:13.100
Now, there's a lot of money and there's an argument.
02:00:15.020
You know, I like to argue both sides that, you know, the artists go out and make the money
02:00:21.180
And, you know, the record companies usually don't share in that.
02:00:27.240
But, I mean, they've been, they were charging artists for years.
02:00:32.520
Like, when records were out, a certain percentage of those records would get broke in transit.
02:00:37.680
So, they had a 10% free goods clause, which means they charge an extra 10% because 10%
02:00:53.860
If you've ever read any of the books of the payola for radio.
02:00:56.380
The way these award shows work, the Grammys and the Oscars, they're such horse s**t.
02:01:12.980
I think there was some, if I had to take an educated guess, there's some freaky stuff going on.
02:01:22.860
You know, if there's certain, you know, I don't know.
02:01:36.900
But, you know, you look at Epstein, you look at Diddy, and then you go to Pizzagate, and you're like,
02:01:42.620
okay, they didn't have children in the basement of that pizza place, but there's something
02:01:48.240
collectively, I think, in our universal mind that we're like, something's wrong.
02:01:54.480
There's the marketing and selling of children for sex.
02:02:04.540
We should go to Medieval Times on that, in my opinion.
02:02:07.760
You know, I wondered when he said that, I was like, Medieval Times, I mean, do you want a big drumstick to watch that?
02:02:19.500
He makes some news in there on some of the things that he was talking about.
02:02:27.580
He was just golfing with Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
02:02:31.000
And it's quite a wild ride, but, I mean, it's Kid Rock.
02:02:35.440
The podcast comes out tonight for everybody on Blaze TV.
02:02:42.220
If you're a member of Blaze TV, you can still join us at Blaze TV.
02:03:02.520
Otherwise, you can wait until Saturday, and you'll see it wherever you get your podcasts.
02:03:07.960
No doubt that these first couple of months of the Trump presidency have largely been a relief.
02:03:12.480
But we're clawing back four years of the Biden legacy, and that's going to take a while.
02:03:16.320
So Donald Trump and his administration are working to shore up America's financial house.
02:03:20.820
In the meantime, what are you doing to shore up yours?
02:03:25.100
I mean, especially if you're behind the eight ball.
02:03:27.440
What steps are you taking to get out of debt and start putting back more money into savings?
02:03:35.780
And I know, I mean, I felt this way many times in my life.
02:03:45.020
For over two decades, American financing has been helping people just like you.
02:03:55.520
You might be surprised at options you didn't even know you had.
02:03:58.020
From mortgage refis to other forms of debt consolidation.
02:04:01.060
Even accessing the high equity that you have in your home to pay off the high interest debts.
02:04:05.600
American financing is saving people in this audience who are going to American financing and calling them.
02:04:11.380
If they do business with them, they're saving over $800 every single month.
02:04:16.340
American financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.
02:04:26.280
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
02:04:30.040
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
02:04:34.620
You know, the left's got a roadmap straight off a cliff.
02:05:10.500
If you are watching us on Blaze TV, if you become a member of Blaze TV, you can get into chat and we're watching, you know, what people are saying.
02:05:23.200
Everybody's developing friendships and everything else.
02:05:27.180
You know, earlier today, I talked about Trump wanting to end the Department of Education, and DB wrote in and said, if they said the president can't have a line item veto, that's too much power, then why would he be allowed to shut down an entire agency?
02:05:41.960
And that's not what he's issuing an executive order, supposedly today, to not shut down the Department of Education, but get as close as legally possible.
02:05:52.360
It was started by executive order, but then Congress codified it and passed a law that we're creating this agency and we're funding it.
02:06:03.320
So, whatever it is that they have to fund, he's going to have to keep open.
02:06:10.880
But everything that they can take a surgical knife to and pare it down, his goal is to pare it down, show America, you know, this isn't helping us.
02:06:22.020
Because the one thing we're number one in is spending per pupil.
02:06:29.440
And then hopefully Congress will just shut it down themselves.
