00:01:58.620 and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:10.980 Hello America, welcome to Friday. It is quite amazing to live in today's world and I am so

00:02:22.840 honored to host you as an audience. I think this is the most amazing audience. You know, our

00:02:30.080 insiders last couple of days ago, when I was having the president, I said, I want to know

00:02:35.380 what you are talking about. I want to know what you are thinking about. We got a ton of questions.

00:02:39.880 All the questions I used were from the insiders. And one of the things that I've heard locally,

00:02:45.480 and then I heard from the insiders was about farmers and ranchers and beef and everything

00:02:52.220 it's going on and so the president is on i don't remember how it came up but i wasn't planning on

00:02:58.620 talking about it and i did the president just issued this release ranchers and farmers have

00:03:06.220 always been a number one priority for me they work hard they're smart they're efficient and

00:03:12.140 immaculately clean but for years i have heard that they had a tremendous problem with the big

00:03:16.860 processors who are so or it's are a nasty monopoly they are essentially four of them

00:03:23.480 very non-competitive number and they make life miserable for our wonderful farmers and ranchers

00:03:27.800 and i won't let that happen so in order to break this powerful monopoly

00:03:32.600 with much of its ownership based outside of the u.s i am authorizing legal documents to be drawn

00:03:40.760 up in order to allow farmers and ranchers to be given the right to process their own food.

00:03:47.340 This should move quickly. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J.

00:03:52.900 Trump. That's massive, massive. And it stemmed from the conversation that we had based on what

00:04:02.700 you were talking about. So congratulations. Look at the difference you made today.

00:04:10.560 Now, Greg Abbott is with us in 60 seconds.

00:04:13.420 He is the governor of Texas running for re-election.

00:04:16.740 I don't know what's happening in Texas.

00:04:19.380 I mean, it is changing.

00:04:21.140 Everything is changing.

00:04:22.840 And it is very close to acting like California.

00:04:26.640 And it can't happen.

00:04:28.040 We're going to talk to the governor about that here in just a second.

00:04:30.020 First, let me talk to you about relief factor.

00:04:31.860 Human body has a terrible warranty.

00:04:33.500 You buy a car and somebody gives you a manual.

00:04:35.980 There's a whole maintenance schedule.

00:04:37.460 You know, this many miles changed.

00:04:38.540 They all this many miles check the brakes, but your body, there's nothing.

00:04:42.820 You know, they hand it to you at birth and say, good luck.

00:04:44.820 Try to make it last 80 or 90 years.

00:04:46.580 Well, for a lot of people, it works for a while, and then eventually there's a lot of pain, lots of it.

00:04:51.060 I've talked about Relief Factor for years, daily supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation

00:04:56.100 and help with the aches and pains that come with everyday lives.

00:04:59.420 I don't care if you're 90 or you're 9, 40, whatever.

00:05:03.260 This is all natural, and if you are having pain, this is the way to try to treat it.

00:05:10.260 Relief Factor.

00:05:10.940 Two-thirds of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:05:13.840 There's no dealership in where you can trade it in at $70 for the new model.

00:05:17.140 I wish there was, but get the three-week quick start for $17.76.

00:05:21.120 See why so many people, including me, say Relief Factor gave them their lives back.

00:05:25.160 ReliefFactor.com.

00:05:26.100 800-4-RELIEF.

00:05:27.280 800, the number four.

00:05:29.060 Relief.

00:05:29.460 Relief.

00:05:29.520 Relief.

00:05:29.580 Relief.

00:05:33.260 Governor Greg Abbott, welcome to the program, sir.

00:05:36.820 Gosh, there's so much to talk about.

00:05:38.700 I'm really concerned, and I know you are too, that the demographics are changing in Texas.

00:05:46.840 And you look at the race with Tallarico, and Paxton is losing really bad.

00:05:55.800 What is happening in Texas?

00:05:58.080 Should we believe these polls?

00:05:59.360 Well, listen, what I've found in my past elections, and that is you really can't take too seriously the polls that you see in the summertime.

00:06:09.500 Let's go back four years ago when Beto O'Rourke was running against me for the governorship, and polls showed him within a percentage point or two, we were kind of neck and neck in the summertime.

00:06:19.480 And then, you know, once we get into September, that's when voters really start paying attention.

00:06:24.580 But listen, Glenn, let me go back and address a couple of things that you talked about,

00:06:28.420 and then we'll sew it all together.

00:06:31.160 You talked about concern about changing Texas,

00:06:35.000 and what some people refer to when they talk about that is the concern about a lot of Californians

00:06:41.460 or a lot of people coming from other states that are changing the voting demographics of the state of Texas.

00:06:47.380 And there's a part of that story that most people miss.

00:06:50.740 And yes, Texas is number one for the most new businesses moving to our state.

00:06:56.280 Texas is number one for getting more residents from other states to move to our state.

00:07:01.900 Here's the point that people do not know about.

00:07:04.940 And that is every year there may be close to 100,000 people who are leaving Texas and moving to California.

00:07:13.420 What I know for a fact is there are no businesses that are moving from Texas to California.

00:07:18.060 So these people moving to California are not following their employer.

00:07:22.120 They're choosing California politics over Texas politics.

00:07:27.120 That ipso facto makes them a Democrat.

00:07:30.580 And so what we have, we have a big exchange program going on where there are red conservatives from California moving to Texas and blue Democrats moving from Texas to California.

00:07:44.140 Yes, Texas is changing, but not to the extent that a lot of people think.

00:07:48.060 so let me let me go to your race and some of the things that um are so important you know i've been

00:07:54.320 watching um i've been watching what's happening with the data centers and i really appreciated the

00:08:00.820 um the way you were handling the data centers and especially electricity in texas and then people

00:08:07.100 started getting concerned about it and you said okay well wait then let's put a moratorium on this

00:08:12.000 until we can examine everything.

00:08:14.240 And I think that is wise.

00:08:16.520 I think people need to understand

00:08:18.560 they can negotiate with these companies

00:08:21.100 and they should negotiate with these companies

00:08:23.180 and every single town or city or county

00:08:26.620 where one of these things are being built,

00:08:28.140 it should be voted on by the people.

00:08:31.260 However, how do you balance,

00:08:34.060 Governor, if we don't have these data centers

00:08:35.720 and we don't build more power,

00:08:38.860 which is Texas in a nutshell,

00:08:41.140 If we don't do these things, we lose, and it's a loss that we will never recover from.

00:08:48.820 Do you agree with that, and how do you balance that?

00:08:52.880 Well, I put all the pieces of the puzzle together with the most detailed and comprehensive plan to address data centers of any governor in the United States, and let me outline it for your audience.

00:09:05.140 What I've done is I paused any new data centers in Texas, and then I established guidelines and guardrails that all data centers must comply with.

00:09:16.440 And here's those guidelines.

00:09:18.300 Data centers must not take water that's needed by communities, must not take power that's needed by the Texas power grid, must lower the cost of electricity for consumers, and must not disturb neighborhoods or rural communities.

00:09:32.120 And these guidelines are being followed universally among data centers across the state of Texas.

00:09:39.460 And so what was lacking is now in existence, and that is standards that all these data centers must comply with.

00:09:49.520 Before that, we had runaway construction of data centers with no guidelines or guardrails.

00:09:56.720 And that just frustrated our fellow Texans.

00:09:59.380 I wanted to make sure that I was able to address that.

00:10:01.820 than I have. You know, a recent poll shows 56% of Texans oppose the building of the data centers,

00:10:09.120 and I see this all across the country. Do you agree with me that we must build the data centers?

00:10:16.000 How do we, if you do, how do we get the people to see the benefit of these data centers for them

00:10:23.620 locally? Not like, A, because America will be number one, but locally. I mean, I don't see

00:10:31.140 people thinking we can negotiate with these data centers. We can eliminate our property tax if

00:10:37.740 that's what we wanted to do. They're going to pay property tax, enough tax that if they want

00:10:42.640 the data center here, then you pay this amount to the city or the county and we're going to

00:10:46.520 eliminate property tax. So you're making a good point. And it's a reason why I put the pause in

00:10:53.880 place because arguments have been made. Data centers have said that they provide all of these

00:11:01.440 benefits. They can dramatically reduce your electricity bill. They can reduce your property

00:11:07.600 taxes. They can do all kinds of things that will benefit communities. But here's the deal, Glenn.

00:11:14.220 We're not seeing that in Texas. And this pause is going to exist until the data centers

00:11:20.260 step up and either show that they are going to be making communities better or they're not going

00:11:27.940 to be able to work here but glenn let's let's put some pieces of the puzzle together here and that

00:11:32.240 is yes there are ways in which data centers can help communities so in addition to having to see

00:11:38.320 that first we also have to understand this and that is uh people especially uh in rural parts

00:11:43.740 of the state of texas uh they want to make sure that they're not having a data center put up in

00:11:48.160 their backyard uh they they have moved to a place where they have uh beautiful views and they're

00:11:53.660 away from all business activities and they don't they want to be left alone uh and also you're even

00:12:00.580 seeing in some urban areas uh up there in the dallas fort worth area uh where data centers

00:12:06.820 are trying to be put up in neighborhoods that's that's just wrong and so the data centers have

00:12:11.740 to be smart clean about to spend 30 seconds giving you an example of what we dealt with

00:12:16.300 in this in texas one century ago one century ago is when the oil boom took place in east texas

00:12:23.180 uh in in places like kilgore texas they would put up 25 oil rigs in one city block block after block

00:12:31.020 and that was the beginning of the railroad commission in the state of texas taking over

00:12:35.440 the regulation of them saying this cannot exist anymore and they put spacing requirements in

00:12:40.420 production limitations in and so they eliminated this gold rush approach that's building oil rigs

00:12:48.740 and it visually turned out to texas ranking number one in america number four in the world

00:12:53.420 for producing oil what we have to do right now is put standards and practices in for data centers

00:13:00.080 just like we did with oil rigs um everybody is talking in fact i'm gonna do a monologue here in

00:13:07.740 just a minute on flock cameras and what's happening and you're getting hit

00:13:10.660 hard by your, um, your, uh,

00:13:13.700 opposition on flock cameras. Um, where,

00:13:17.200 where do you stand on flock flock cameras? What are you doing about it?

00:13:20.820 What, I mean, tell me flock cameras in Texas.

00:13:24.480 It seems almost anti-Texan in a way.

00:13:30.280 Right. Well, listen, to, to, to be blunt about it,

00:13:34.000 There's a crackdown all across Texas about flock cameras over in Lefkin, Texas.

00:13:39.720 A police officer was invited on 100 felony charges for misuse of flock information.

00:13:46.760 Cities across the state are canceling their contracts with flock, which, by the way, is an important part of the whole issue about flocks.

00:13:54.680 And that, and that is the, the way plot cameras work in Texas, uh, they, they are contract

00:14:01.220 agreements between cities and counties and with block and what Texans deserve.

00:14:08.520 They deserve clarity about how these cities and counties are using them.

00:14:12.100 Uh, citizens are concerned about the fourth amendment rights.

00:14:15.760 They have to be protected.

00:14:16.780 Their privacy must be protected and, uh, no private person should have access to plot cameras.

00:14:23.960 This is something that is easily containable, easily controllable, and we're ensuring that whether it be through criminal crackdowns, whether it be through a cancellation of contracts, whatever the case may be,

00:14:36.840 the flood cameras are being reduced dramatically, and they're going to be required to be used responsibly if they're used at all.

00:14:44.360 One more thing. 0.86

00:14:45.800 The airport voodoo stations.

00:14:50.180 Most people don't even know what that is. 0.79

00:14:52.440 They've been in place since 2019.

00:14:54.980 Tell me what the stations are and why this is such an issue.

00:14:59.420 I got to tell you, until I saw what was going on at DFW Airport, I didn't know what they were either. 0.97

00:15:06.540 And what these stations are, airports have set up foot washing stations for Muslims.

00:15:18.600 And when we learned about it, the first one we heard about was at DFW Airport.

00:15:23.380 And they were going to be putting up a new one at DFW Airport.

00:15:28.040 And I issued a directive saying that they must not do that.

00:15:32.200 And DFW Airport abided by what I said.

00:15:36.480 But in addition to that, there were and are some pre-existing of these foot washing facilities, both at DFW Airport as well as the Houston Airport.

00:15:47.180 And here's the fact of the matter from a legal perspective.

00:15:51.840 They are unconstitutional. 1.00

00:15:54.620 Airports and other government entities, they can't establish facilities that are exclusively for Muslims. 1.00

00:16:01.000 And that violates religious clauses in the Constitution.

00:16:06.420 And so what we are doing, we have announced legal challenges to both the FW Airport and the Houston Airport for violating the religious clauses of the Constitution.

00:16:20.600 And there are two different areas of an airport.

00:16:24.100 There's the pre-TSA check-in and then after TSA check-in.

00:16:28.060 If these stations exist before you get to the TSA check-in, that is an area that's governed by the local city.

00:16:34.300 And what I have articulated, and that is any city that provides or continues one of these stations, they're going to have their funding revoked that they get from the state of Texas and subject to a lawsuit for religious discrimination by the state of Texas.

00:16:50.640 Once they get past the TSA checkpoint, that's a federal issue.

00:16:55.120 And I have sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation to make sure that they understand the constitutional gravity of this issue and that they similarly will be taking action in the areas that they are responsible for to make sure these constitutional violations are not taking place. 0.93

00:17:13.020 I tell you, we are, I think Texas is ground zero right now for Sharia law.

00:17:22.440 I think it's ground zero for energy and it's ground zero for data centers. 1.00

00:17:28.620 And I'm glad you're on top of all of them.

00:17:31.200 Thank you very much, Governor.

00:17:32.060 I appreciate it.

00:17:33.580 You got it, Glenn.

00:17:35.260 You bet.

00:17:35.820 Bye-bye.

00:17:36.500 All right.

00:17:36.980 Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:17:39.180 uh patriot mobile you probably spend more time with your cell phone than probably anything else

00:17:44.180 that you own um it's there when you wake up it's in your pocket all day then you put it on a night

00:17:49.200 stand so you can you know you can watch you know it can watch you sleep it's a little creepy when

00:17:54.100 you think about it every single month you pay for that company for the privilege of having that

00:17:58.600 thing follow you around so i think it's reasonable to care who that company is and patriot mobile is

00:18:03.620 america's only christian conservative wireless provider and they support the values that you

00:18:07.080 and i care about faith family freedom they've donated millions of dollars to organizations

00:18:11.400 fighting for those values you're also getting access to all three major networks you can keep

00:18:15.680 your phone you can keep your number and their u.s based team can help you make the switch for a

00:18:58.640 There's so much going on today.

00:19:01.540 And I just have to go back for a second.

00:19:03.700 and thank the president for coming on the program and then listening.

00:19:10.620 I mean, you know, the way this thing happened with the farms and the ranchers,

00:19:14.760 that's what I like about this president.

00:19:18.320 You know, he doesn't go into, every other president would say,

00:19:21.520 you know what, pass it by the Secretary of Agriculture, and it would die there.

00:19:25.380 This president said, let me check it out, and he does.

00:19:28.140 let me just in case you just tuned in on wednesday the president was on it's friday today so two days

00:19:36.400 ago president is on and i bring up you know farmers and ranchers and i'm like you know let

00:19:41.040 your people go let my people go um let them process their own food not with no standards

00:19:46.880 but this is a this is a monopoly and if we can cut the regulations on these processing plants

00:19:55.520 not to a dangerous level but to be able to get people to be able to process their own food in

00:20:01.780 their own communities in their own states we will free the ranchers up so he just writes ranchers

00:20:08.400 and farmers have always been number one priority for me they work hard they're smart efficient and

00:20:12.360 immaculately clean but for years i've heard they've had tremendous problem with the big processors

00:20:16.800 who say are a nasty monopoly they they are essentially four of them very non-competitive

00:20:23.140 number and they make life miserable for our wonderful farmers and ranchers and i can't let

00:20:26.660 that happen can i so in order to break the powerful monopoly with much of its ownership

00:20:31.200 based outside of the u.s i'm authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow farmers

00:20:36.360 and ranchers to be given the right in in all caps to process their own food this should move quickly

00:20:44.460 president donald j trump that's remarkable remarkable that's game change ricky am i am i

00:20:52.680 overestimating this i don't think i am that's that's game changing for our food system

00:20:57.920 yes and congress needs to act to make it permanent i am so honored that we got to be a part of this

00:21:09.160 history making moment and that the president does hear the people when you said let my people go

00:21:16.100 he he did it he's letting the people go i mean it's amazing it's amazing and this has been

00:21:22.700 floated through congress i don't know how many times and it went nowhere uh and now if we can

00:21:28.660 get congress to pick it back up here's the thing look everybody who's freaking out about lake

00:22:15.340 affecting us at the dinner table, and food is one of them. Our borders, another one. Congress has

00:22:21.900 done nothing to codify all of these things that he has done. I'm going to tell you in half an hour,

00:22:27.800 one of the things that he has done on oil that I'm not hearing a lot of people, at least enough

00:23:11.040 memories in this box, and that box and the memories, everything is breaking down. Videotape,

00:23:18.100 film, degrades, photos, fade, and you can put them in a nice dry box and label it family

00:26:10.300 flock cameras but we have been here before believe it or not

00:26:13.940 and i know i'm talking about cameras so it's going to seem a little weird but hear me out

00:26:19.640 1761 old courthouse in boston a lawyer named james otis he stands up and he argues for five hours

00:26:29.280 against a piece of paper i mean there wasn't a lot going on you know the paper was called a writ

00:26:35.280 of assistance it was a search warrant and it was a strange one because it didn't name a suspect

00:26:41.540 it didn't name a house it didn't describe a crime it authorized a customs offer officer to enter

00:26:48.960 any building any house any business break open any chest search any drawer any closet anything

00:26:57.340 he wants for smuggled goods and the search warrant did not expire it's the writ of assistance

00:27:05.900 we later call them general warrants okay and it was it was good for the life of the king

00:27:12.440 plus six months otis loses the case but sitting in the room taking notes was a young lawyer nobody

00:27:21.360 had ever heard of yet named john adams a half century later he wrote that then and there in

00:27:29.900 that room the child of independence was born and it was born on uh uh general warrants that's what

00:27:41.320 it became known as a general warrant you can't just put a warrant out and say you know generally

00:27:47.460 we're going to just look at all cars we're just going to look at all houses you can't do that

00:27:52.620 okay and they weren't arguing that searches were wrong they were arguing about one specific feature

00:27:58.880 general the general warrant the generality of all of it a warrant that names a man and a house is

00:28:06.900 an accusation, and accusations can be answered. A warrant that names no one is not an accusation

00:28:13.680 at all. It's a standing condition. It doesn't say you're suspected. It says everyone here is

00:28:22.280 available for suspicion. That distinction is the reason we have the Fourth Amendment,

00:28:30.060 and it is the entire fight that's happening in American towns right now. This week, two suburbs

00:28:35.800 in phoenix pulled the plug on their license plate cameras good tempe turned off every one of them

00:28:42.900 and canceled their eighty thousand dollar contract with flock three hours later cave creek not only

00:28:49.920 canceled but physically removed the equipment by wednesday the count of cities that had canceled

00:28:56.180 or rejected these cameras was over 90.

00:29:00.060 The company is Flock.

00:29:03.340 More than 120,000 cameras across 49 states.

00:29:07.720 If I'm looking, if I own shares at stock,

00:29:10.140 if I'm on the board of Flock,

00:29:12.220 I'm thinking to myself,

00:29:13.340 got to get out of this one quickly.

00:29:15.640 Because here's what they do.

00:29:16.800 They photograph the back of your car,

00:29:19.180 the plate, the make, the color, the time, the location,

00:29:22.260 and then they just put it in a database

00:29:23.900 that police can search.

00:29:26.180 sometimes across state lines.

00:29:27.920 I don't know.

00:29:28.300 I don't know what we're looking for.

00:29:29.200 What are we looking for?

00:29:30.480 I don't know.

00:29:30.980 I'm looking for my girlfriend, my ex-girlfriend, or my wife. 1.00

00:29:34.320 I know she's cheating on me.

00:29:36.000 That's what it's turning into, and it'll only get worse from there.

00:29:40.460 Earlier this month, the Washington Post reported that more than 50 law enforcement officers

00:29:45.320 have been accused, charged, or convicted of using these systems for unauthorized purposes.

00:29:51.980 Like, she's a hot woman. 0.99

00:29:53.480 Where's she going? 0.53

00:29:54.540 Not kidding.

00:29:55.940 Oh my gosh, I sounded like, I just sounded like Joe Biden.

00:29:59.360 Not kidding. No joke.

00:30:00.780 Anyway, these are officers using these flock cameras to track women down they used to date or want to date.

00:30:10.040 Officers with legitimate logins using the system exactly the way it was built to be used.

00:30:15.860 For reasons nobody ever authorized.

00:30:18.900 General warrant. I can do whatever I want. I can get in here.

00:30:21.580 and by the way that's not a bug in the technology that's the writ of assistance

00:30:27.200 arriving on schedule 265 years later that's what our country was built against

00:30:35.380 you know you build a search that names nobody and covers everybody and never expires and you

00:30:43.100 you have not built a tool you've built a cage and a standing condition and standing conditions

00:30:50.240 get used by whoever is standing there okay now let me give you some encouragement here because

00:30:57.780 look how this is stop who's stopping this who's stopping this and I find this genuinely encouraging

00:31:02.880 on Wednesday the governor of Florida Ron DeSantis came out and said the spread of these readers is

00:31:10.400 out of control we're going to have a surveillance state and it's not happening in Florida and he

00:31:15.500 said while making it clear he wants police to have real tools that ain't gonna that's not gonna

00:31:20.680 stand in florida the same day senator holly of missouri opened an investigation into the flock

00:31:26.540 network the towns that got their first flagstaff cambridge massachusetts cambridge eugene oregon

00:31:34.380 santa cruz california the aclu has been running a campaign on it for a year

00:31:40.020 wait i just i have a hard time processing this i just want to make sure i have this right a

00:31:46.740 republican governor a republican senator and four of the most progressive city councils in america

00:31:51.360 all arriving at the same conclusion from opposite ends of the country and opposite ends of the

00:31:56.200 argument why am i encouraged because there's no party for this there is something older than

00:32:05.340 a party. It's the plain human objection to being watched by someone who cannot tell you why. And

00:32:15.200 by the way, being watched by somebody is also cruel and unusual punishment. Where do you find

00:32:20.220 that one in the Bill of Rights? The idea of a panopticon, it was a prison. It was a round prison

00:32:29.620 And the guards would sit in the center, and all of the cells went around in a circle.

00:32:36.020 And so the guards, they could just keep turning around and staying in place and just turning around,

00:32:40.800 and they would see everyone in their cell, and they could see everything that was going on.

00:32:45.300 That was deemed cruel and unusual punishment like 200 years ago.

00:32:50.400 Why? Because it is not normal or natural, and it is not healthy.

00:32:55.180 it is cruel and unusual punishment to be viewed and looked at and monitored 24-7.

00:33:03.400 Okay?

00:33:04.380 So, let me tell you the other side of this, because the cameras are working.

00:33:10.800 They find stolen cars.

00:33:12.120 They find abducted children.

00:33:15.200 You know, there are police chiefs right now who can name a specific person who is alive today

00:33:19.240 because a plate hit, came back in 11 minutes.

00:33:22.800 Okay?

00:33:22.960 turning the cameras off is not free and anybody who is cheering this should be willing to say

00:33:28.720 out loud that okay but i'm accepting this cost i don't think we should cheer i think we should say

00:33:33.700 that's a good move for these reasons and yet here is the cost some crimes are not going to be solved

00:33:40.660 and some of them are going to be terrible crimes are you willing to make that trade

00:33:45.460 because that's a real trade and it deserves a real answer

00:33:49.160 And the answer is the same one Otis gave and John Adams gave.

00:33:55.100 Nobody is saying an officer can't search.

00:33:57.940 We're saying search, the search has to name someone.

00:34:02.500 Get a warrant on a plate.

00:34:05.100 Keep the data for days instead of a month.

00:34:08.220 Make every officer attach a case number to every query

00:34:11.220 so the system knows the difference between an investigation

00:34:14.400 and a man looking up his ex-girlfriend.

00:34:17.280 Flock itself, now under pressure, has now proposed most of that.

00:34:22.200 Shorter retention, required case codes, automatic suspension for abnormal searches, all of that stuff.

00:34:27.820 It tells you those safeguards were always possible.

00:34:31.100 They just weren't put in because, you know, they weren't profitable until 90 cities started unplugging the boxes.

00:34:39.380 Now, the Panopticon, here's the important part, not built by Congress.

00:34:45.840 There wasn't a vote.

00:34:47.340 There was no national debate.

00:34:49.840 This is the way our country is supposed to work,

00:34:54.000 but we have to start getting engaged

00:34:58.020 because this was sold city by city

00:35:00.500 in $80,000 increments at meetings on a Tuesday night

00:35:05.000 that maybe 11 people attended

00:35:06.980 on a consent agenda between a rezoning request

00:35:11.880 and a discussion about some culvert.

00:35:15.100 Nobody wanted to go to that meeting.

00:35:16.660 And then all of a sudden, this flock camera thing was tucked in there,

00:35:19.760 which means it came down the same way.

00:35:21.920 It's coming down the same way over and over again, 90 cities.

00:35:26.060 And James Otis lost his case.

00:35:28.700 The Ritz stayed legal.

00:35:30.320 He never got a ruling.

00:35:31.540 He never got vindication.

00:35:32.680 And he died before the Constitution was written.

00:35:35.100 But a young man in the back of the room heard the argument.

00:35:38.960 And 30 years later, he and his friends wrote it into the supreme law of the United States of America,

00:35:44.740 where it sits today in 28 words about warrants

00:35:48.280 that have to describe the place to be searched

00:35:51.360 and the person to be seized, okay?

00:35:54.500 Somebody in your town is at that meeting on Tuesday night.

00:35:59.840 Somebody in your town is going to be at that meeting on Tuesday night

00:36:03.680 and they're going to make the decision.

00:36:07.600 Or they're going to be the John Adams that is sitting in the room

00:36:10.500 and changes things later down the road.

00:36:12.500 be that somebody in the room. More in a minute.

00:36:20.780 Real estate agents, I trust.com. It's easy to get the wrong idea of what a real estate agent does.

00:36:26.280 You picture somebody opening the front door and saying, and here's the kitchen. Thank you,

00:36:30.980 but I think I probably would have figured that one out on my own. That's really not the part

00:36:35.260 you need help with. You need the agent when you found the house and you have to figure out what

00:36:40.240 to offer, when an inspection finds something that you don't understand, when the other

00:36:44.400 side counters, when there's a deadline, you know, that's when you find out, did I just

00:36:49.740 hire the person that just opens doors or did I hire the person who actually knows real

00:36:55.240 estate and can get me through this quickly and painlessly?

00:37:26.080 A few years ago when the opportunity came to challenge Roe versus Wade,

00:37:29.720 the Alliance Defending Freedom was right there in the thick of it.

00:37:33.020 Just a few months ago, they won a major free speech case at the U.S. Supreme Court

00:37:37.140 on behalf of a Christian counselor, Kaylee Childs.

00:37:40.080 And they continue to take on the big business of our time,

00:37:43.480 defending women's sports, protecting parents,

00:37:45.720 pushing back against the expansion of male-order abortion drugs,

00:37:48.980 and standing up for God's design for men and women.

00:37:52.020 These battles don't end when the headlines fade.

00:37:54.340 They continue in the courtrooms and the legislature

00:37:56.660 and the communities all across our country.

00:37:59.120 That's why Alliance Defending Freedom relies on people like you.

00:38:03.180 Your support helps them defend the God-given rights and freedoms

00:38:38.960 on our torch insider line is uh chrissy in ohio hello chrissy

00:39:06.960 hi glenn um i was at the bank this morning and i realized when i looked at the date

00:39:14.760 it was eight it's 8 28 and 16 years ago i i was in washington dc and i just wanted to thank you

00:39:24.320 for doing these things that have been placed on your heart and you've motivated me um i can

00:39:31.740 remember one of the last things that you said was that, I'm going to cry, one person can make a

00:39:39.140 difference. And that was really when I started to get involved and doing more things. And I just

00:39:47.580 wanted to say thank you so much. Gosh, that is so kind of you, Chrissy. Thank you. I thought about

00:39:53.720 that this morning when I saw the date myself. And that line, it's so funny that that's the line you

00:39:59.060 remember because when i was at the lincoln memorial they just they just did something

00:40:03.640 underneath a lincoln and it's it's it's how they built it and the and there's a there's a film in

00:40:09.040 it now and i'm watching this film they just opened in around july 4th and i'm watching this film

00:40:14.400 and you hear the voice of martin luther king say i have a dream today and then followed by another

00:40:21.220 voice that says one man can change the world and i looked at my wife i had no idea she did she knew

00:40:28.000 And I looked at my wife and I went, was that me?

00:40:33.280 And she just smiled.

00:40:36.560 And it's the biggest honor of my life.

00:40:38.960 And it is so true.

00:40:41.220 And look at what's happening.

00:40:43.200 Look how one person all over, look how one person is changing everything.

00:40:49.500 And I don't mean, I'm not talking about one person specifically.

00:40:52.540 I'm talking about how everybody doing their one thing is changing so much.

00:40:58.820 The world is not the same as it was 16 years ago.

00:41:03.520 Better or worse, you decide.

00:41:05.440 But I know I'm a better person, and it sounds like you're a better person too, Chrissy, because of it.

00:41:10.480 God bless you. Thank you.

00:41:11.440 Most definitely. Thank you. God bless you.

00:41:14.460 You bet.

00:41:15.540 By the way, you want to talk about people that are changing the world.

00:41:19.280 i asked the insiders on monday come up with a list of questions for the president um and i'm

00:41:26.460 talking to the president and i mean thousands of them came in and we were going through all of them

00:41:31.480 and one of them was about the meat processing and i just you know i just saw all of these things

00:41:36.320 about meat and you know our farmers and our ranchers and everything else and i didn't make

00:41:40.700 it didn't make it into the question uh list um but when the president brought up something about

00:41:46.680 meat i said you know free my people let my people go moses um you know please um let the ranchers

00:41:55.920 and the farmers process their own food you know not with no regulation but without all this crazy

00:42:02.140 stuff that is happening just for a monopoly of four companies so he just announced today

00:42:07.640 um that he is and i want to get this i want to get this and read this exactly right if i can

00:42:13.180 pull it up here he said i am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow all

00:42:19.140 farmers and ranchers to be given the right to process their own food this should move quickly

00:42:23.880 thanks for your attention i mean that's this audience that's you that is you that is the power

00:42:31.220 of one person um and look what is happening do you know what that could mean you know if we can

00:45:08.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:14.460 Hello, America.

00:45:15.900 Welcome to Friday.

00:45:18.300 I am really thrilled to announce that we are now being carried by one of the greatest stations in America, WBAL Newsradio 1090 and FM 101.5 in Baltimore.

00:45:33.400 And we are live now in Baltimore on WBAL.

00:45:36.420 That is the radio flagship of the O's and the Ravens.

00:45:40.920 And I can't thank Jeff Wade, I think one of the best directors of programming in the country.

00:45:46.380 I can't thank you enough, Jeff, for hearing the show and believing in the show.

00:45:49.720 Thank you and welcome to all those who are listening to us on WBAL in Baltimore.

00:45:54.900 All right.

00:45:55.600 I want to talk to you about something that I'm not hearing a lot of talk about.

00:45:59.400 And I think it goes into the theory that, you know, I talked about it yesterday that nobody's explaining this to the American people.

00:46:10.840 And somebody has to explain this to the American people because everybody feels like they're under the gun.

00:46:15.760 They're feeling the price of everything go up and they don't really know what's happening.

00:46:20.580 And we are in a fast food kind of society.

00:46:23.220 We want it now, now, now.

00:46:24.580 But there are some things that can't be done now, now, now.

00:46:28.540 and what the president is doing is massive and because of small vision people and a corrupt

00:46:38.160 press you're not hearing what the president is actually doing and there is another big piece

00:46:43.460 that has just fallen into line we're going to get to that in 60 seconds first let me tell you

00:46:47.120 about burnout launcher there's some situations in life where two choices are not enough if

00:46:51.460 somebody's threatening you or your family do nothing is not an option but you know the other

00:46:57.560 option is deadly force. And if you're threatening my family, I am going to shoot you in the head. 1.00

00:47:03.620 I am going to kill you. It's my family. If it's my family or you, you're dead. Now, not all the 1.00

00:47:09.920 situations are like that. Okay. Berna is the choice in between. They can fire kinetic or

00:47:14.980 chemical irritant projectiles up to 60 feet away, giving you the ability to respond to a threat

00:47:20.560 while there's still distance between you and the person causing it. More than 750,000 Berna

00:47:26.000 launchers have already been sold worldwide. They're used by more than 500 government agencies,

00:48:07.040 Okay, I know that so many people and perhaps you are struggling with inflation and rent

00:48:14.820 and mortgage rates and electricity rates

00:48:16.880 and food costs and crime and, oh gosh.

00:48:20.800 And if you're in your 20s or 30s,

00:48:22.340 you're looking at America and you're like,

00:48:24.060 okay, I don't think any of the promises

00:48:25.580 that I ever heard growing up are real.

00:48:28.160 It's not the land of opportunity.

00:48:31.200 And in some ways you're not wrong

00:48:32.660 because today's American capitalism is not a free market.

00:48:38.440 We have gutted ourselves from the free market.

00:48:42.580 We have gutted ourselves from our history,

00:48:44.600 from our principles everything and then comes along guy donald trump and he's like it's a new

00:48:50.860 golden age and he says that i'm thinking do you mean we're going to gild everything gold because

00:48:56.500 i mean i think give him enough time and everything will be won't be the white house anymore it'll be

00:49:01.360 the gold house and it'll just it's beautiful nobody thought we could have that much gold

00:49:05.660 well okay and i uh and i named the fountain the fountain of america in the backyard i got it i

00:49:13.140 got it i got it so we're seeing things and we're struggling and you're struggling at the gas pump

00:49:19.880 and you're seeing him do things like name lake of america from lake ontario and you're like what

00:49:25.860 what is happening what is happening let me tell you what's happening the new world order that

00:49:31.580 was promised by bush one and bush two you know the globalist new world order looks like we don't want

00:49:38.560 and the reason why we don't want it is because we're seeing that America has to go down the

00:49:44.480 crapper if globalism is to work and every president that we have had in recent memory

00:49:50.600 has been working towards that and simply managing our decline Trump is the first guy to come and go

00:49:57.880 we're not going to do that we're not going to do that we're going to have a new golden era we're

00:50:02.680 going to have a great age for America into the 21st century and so he's not just reshaping

00:50:08.240 america he is reshaping the world and i know this to be true because i have had conversations with

00:50:14.940 several prime ministers in the last four months private conversations and all of them have said

00:50:20.640 i know exactly what he's doing and i know where the power is going and they didn't say it like

00:50:25.780 it was necessarily a good thing they just know what he's doing but unfortunately too many americans

00:50:31.440 don't. Everything that was set up after World War II from 1945, it's over. It's over. That

00:50:38.300 order is over. It hasn't worked out well. And then it changed to, okay, let's just keep taking

00:50:45.480 from America and then we can manage their decline. So here's the latest piece of the puzzle that I've 0.93

00:50:53.800 been trying to show you on what he's creating. Wednesday night, Axios reported that the United

00:50:58.860 States is now negotiating an ownership stake, not a lease, an ownership stake in the Venezuela

00:51:06.860 oil fields.

00:51:08.880 More than a dozen producing fields was something like 90 billion barrels of proven reserves

00:51:15.880 underneath the soil.

00:51:18.620 America currently holds about 48 billion.

00:51:21.680 If that deal is signed, American oil reserves more than double in an afternoon.

00:51:27.280 yesterday caracas began asking you know what maybe we should just leave opec wait what what

00:51:36.400 what this is going to matter while you're standing at the gas pump okay the national average today

00:51:42.580 is four dollars and nine cents that's not because of demand because demand is soft

00:51:48.260 that's all happening because of a strip of water 30 miles wide between iran and oman

00:51:53.340 before the war about 20 million barrels a day were moving through the Strait of Hormuz

00:51:59.320 about a fifth of all of the oil in the world was moving through there today I don't really know it

00:52:06.360 could be a trickle it could be half of that I don't even know but the world is losing roughly

00:52:11.200 8 million barrels every single day that it stays that way our strategic petroleum reserve our oil

00:52:19.020 reserve is at the lowest level in 40 years dangerously low we cannot take any more out

00:52:24.560 that's why you have the four dollar a gallon and people are pissed and they're like what is trump

00:52:28.900 doing i'll tell you what he's doing one and he might not be right i think he is but he might

00:52:35.640 not be right i'm not saying it's going to work out this way that's yet to be seen but this is

00:52:41.400 the strategy one waterway one regime one man over in the gulf deciding how much oil the world

00:52:48.920 gets this week. Not workable. Venezuela is not on that waterway. Venezuela is a five-day tanker run

00:52:57.380 to Texas. Now, I want you to know, this is an old idea. Last minute try it was Winston Churchill.

00:53:03.620 1913, Royal Navy was running on British coal. And Churchill saw that, you know, coal ships are

00:53:10.220 really not the future. We need oil. Oil ships were faster. Britain didn't have any oil. So he told

00:53:16.080 parliament that no one country no one route no one field could could they be dependent on that

00:53:23.440 for safety and certainty they needed the oil that was you know had some variety and and was in

00:53:31.040 various places and we need to be part of that so in the summer of 1914 just weeks before the world

00:53:36.580 caught fire the british government bought 51 percent of a nearly bankrupt company that was

00:53:42.500 drilling in persia that company became bp british petroleum okay the fleet now had fuel through two

00:53:51.300 world wars and it was coming from persia it also bought britain the shaw and in 1979 the regime

00:54:01.380 that is squeezing the straight straights this morning hold that thought because i'm going to

00:54:05.060 come back to it okay if this deal in venezuela closes something much larger than a gas price is

00:54:11.720 happening here. And I don't think most people have caught it yet. I want you to start looking

00:54:16.680 at maps instead of the news. When you hear the news, look at a map. The United States is already

00:54:23.660 the largest oil and gas producer on earth. Canada holds the third largest proven reserves and sends

00:54:31.140 the overwhelming majority of its crude to the U.S. Currently, I mean, there is that whole

00:54:36.020 Lake of America thing going on.

00:54:39.160 Guyana has gone from nothing

00:54:41.060 to one of the fastest growing oil provinces

00:54:43.340 in the world in under a decade.

00:54:45.680 Brazil is a major producer in getting bigger.

00:54:48.260 Argentina is sitting on one of the greatest shale plays

00:54:52.600 outside of North America.

00:54:54.440 You add Venezuela's 300 billion barrels,

00:54:57.820 the largest proven reserve anywhere on the planet,

00:55:01.080 and now the Western Hemisphere stops being a customer 0.93

00:55:04.660 of the world's energy market and becomes the center of gravity, who cares about the Middle East. 0.54

00:55:13.460 Now, keep going, because oil is only the first column of what he's doing. 0.98

00:55:17.740 Canada has the uranium and the potash.

00:55:20.900 So these two things, potash and uranium, currently, they have given that to China.

00:55:29.560 That's why he's being so tough on them.

00:55:31.920 Look, you've got to cut your alliance to China. 0.77

00:55:35.240 Are you on their side, or are you going to be part of the Western Hemisphere?

00:55:39.700 Chile and Argentina have Bolivia and lithium.

00:55:45.800 Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia have lithium.

00:55:50.360 Brazil has iron and rare earth.

00:55:54.080 The Hemisphere can feed itself.

00:55:56.180 We're the largest agricultural exporting region in all of Earth, okay?

00:56:03.660 Brazil and Argentina cover most of what we don't.

00:56:07.480 Fresh water, Lake of America, the Great Lakes, the Amazon Basin.

00:56:14.620 Shipping, we have our own canal back, which is why the administration went over and reclaimed the leverage.

00:56:20.100 It was exactly for this reason, okay?

00:56:22.620 We also have a continent's worth of manufacturing capacity in Mexico that a decade ago was drifting towards China.

00:56:30.160 It's back there.

00:56:30.980 And ours, as I told you yesterday, the manufacturing outlook in America is higher than it has been since 1983.

00:56:41.500 Jobs and manufacturing coming back to America.

00:56:44.560 So we have energy, food, water, minerals, sea lanes, factories, and not one of those things requires anyone's permission to cross an ocean.

00:56:54.600 This is the Donro Doctrine, okay?

00:56:57.260 This is the whole play, and it's not a slogan, it's subtraction.

00:57:02.600 Every one of those columns is a place where somebody currently holds a card over us, and the Donro Doctrine, he's going in, he's going, yep, we're going to take that card from you.

00:57:13.700 We have that card now, okay?

00:57:16.020 Think about what that does. 0.92

00:57:18.080 Iran's entire strategic weight in the world is that straight.

00:57:23.500 Even if this doesn't work because of what we've done, by end of 2027, they are building pipelines that they have said they were going to build forever. 0.72

00:57:32.260 And everybody knew they weren't going to build them because nobody does anything until they're forced to.

00:57:36.560 By 2027, pipelines that are now being built over Amman are now going to completely erase the meaning of the Strait of Hormuz.

00:57:48.220 That'll be, I think it's 40 or 60% by 2027, by 2028, it'll be like 80%, okay? 0.80

00:57:55.160 A hemisphere that fuels itself makes the MOAs and any regional nuisance, just that, a regional nuisance and not a global lever. 0.84

00:58:12.220 Russia's leverage over Europe was never tanks, it was gas. 0.72

00:58:17.560 Gas that they needed in January.

00:58:20.520 OPEC's power was never the oil in the ground.

00:58:23.000 it was that we needed to ask them for the oil in the ground.

00:58:27.420 China, China has spent 20 years building ports and mines and rail lines in South America

00:58:32.260 precisely because they know they're the ones that they need to import everything from. 0.60

00:58:39.120 Every barrel, every mine that comes into American anchored hemisphere 0.64

00:58:43.360 is one that doesn't go into theirs.

00:58:46.140 And this is a president who has decided America cannot be the guarantor of every region on earth

00:58:52.240 simultaneously. We're not going to be able to do that. And now if he's right, that does mean the

00:58:59.040 globe splits into neighborhoods. China is going to run its neighborhood. Europe will have to decide 0.93

00:59:05.160 what it wants to be and live with the answer. And it'll be Europe's decision, not something we pay

00:59:09.700 for with our sons and our treasury. It's their decision. Now, that is a much colder world than

00:59:16.160 when we were promised in 1991. And I don't say that happily. I just tell you, that's not that.

00:59:22.240 This is the world that showed up, and you got to deal with the world as it is.

00:59:27.180 And in that world, the question stops being, can we hold everything and becomes, is our side self-sufficient?

00:59:36.140 We learned this in COVID.

00:59:37.560 All of us did.

00:59:38.700 Are we self-sufficient?

00:59:39.840 That's what he's building, and that takes time.

00:59:43.100 Reference the monologue I gave yesterday on the boulevards in France that completely changed Paris, completely changed it in 19 years.

00:59:52.240 But because it was so hard for 19 years, Marxism took root, and then you got the Paris communes.

01:00:01.160 So we've been here before.

01:00:02.760 That's why I'm trying to explain this to you, because if you don't know what's going on,

01:00:06.960 you don't know what we're building, all you're feeling is the pain.

01:00:11.640 And then you go to a Marxist for the answer.

01:00:14.300 But a hemisphere that grows its own food, digs for its own metals, pumps its own fuel, builds its own goods, is a hemisphere that no one can strangle to death.

01:00:26.160 You can't embargo it. You can't close a strait on it. You can't starve it, you know, into a vote for the UN.

01:00:35.220 And for each of our families, that's the difference between a war 8,000 miles away being a tragedy and a war 8,000 miles away being a mortgage payment.

01:00:44.300 it's a diesel price that doesn't set the cost

01:00:48.340 of every apple in every store

01:00:49.640 it's the manufacturing that comes home

01:00:52.560 because the energy that runs the furnace

01:00:54.660 is cheap and it's ours

01:00:56.160 it's a 22 year old getting a job

01:00:58.860 in a refinery in Louisiana

01:01:00.340 instead of a rifle in the Persian Gulf

01:01:02.600 this is what I told you about

01:01:06.660 the boulevards in Paris yesterday

01:01:08.160 and how it transformed the nation in 19 years

01:01:10.660 but also led to Marxism

01:01:12.580 in the Paris communes

01:01:13.840 and the communist revolts.

01:01:16.740 This is going to take time

01:01:18.460 because reserves are not production.

01:01:21.640 Venezuela pumps about a million barrels a day today.

01:01:24.320 It pumped three and a half million in the 90s

01:01:26.580 and then the communists took over or the socialists.

01:01:29.860 Getting back there is a decade of work

01:01:32.000 and hundreds of billions of dollars in a country

01:01:34.280 whose pipelines and refineries

01:01:35.880 were run into the ground by socialism.

01:01:38.820 Nothing signed today changes the sign

01:01:41.780 at your corner gas station next month.

01:01:43.840 And anybody telling you that is lying to you.

01:01:47.460 And then one final thing that is really important.

01:01:51.680 And I'll give it to you in 60 seconds.

01:01:53.320 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:01:56.380 It's Relief Factor.

01:01:58.080 You know, I don't want another thing to manage.

01:02:01.220 I have enough to manage.

01:02:02.900 Don't you? Passwords. Passwords alone.

01:02:05.640 Can you stop telling me to change my password?

01:02:07.800 And then I change my password.

01:02:09.360 No, you can't use that because it was already the password.

01:02:11.820 Well, why can't I use that password?

01:02:14.720 Please stop with the password things.

01:02:17.280 I cannot take any more things I have to manage.

01:02:22.220 I don't want taking care of myself to become a full-time job either.

01:02:28.000 I don't want it to become the password thing.

01:02:30.160 And that's what I like about Relief Factor.

01:02:32.160 I take it every day.

01:02:33.640 It's routine.

01:02:34.380 It's like brushing my teeth.

01:02:35.580 I take it every day.

01:02:36.460 I just do it and I get all over my life.

01:03:21.660 10 seconds.

01:03:22.200 Station ID.

01:03:32.740 Okay.

01:03:33.460 The last thing that we have to make sure we do is remember Churchill, because Churchill did the same thing in 1914, and he was right.

01:03:47.140 He was dead right, and every person in a gas line is feeling why.

01:03:54.620 You have to have access to oil, okay?

01:03:58.640 But he was wrong about the price.

01:04:00.740 He got the oil, and he got 100 years of a people who never stopped saying

01:04:06.820 that a foreign government owned their fields.

01:04:11.140 There is no elected president in Caracas right now.

01:04:16.140 The White House is calling the place the 51st state.

01:04:19.420 Those words are cheap to say today, but they are expensive to own tomorrow.

01:04:24.740 we have to do this absolutely transparently right and out in the open with the venezuelan people

01:04:32.500 make the revenue audible uh auditable by the venezuelans make sure they can see the books

01:04:39.640 not just a number announced by us they need to see it and we need to make this a partnership

01:04:45.340 that a proud people can defend in their own parliament in 2050 because if they can't they'll

01:04:52.440 take it back and history says they'll take something else with it and it doesn't end well 0.81

01:04:59.300 it didn't end well with persia or iran and the shah we've got to do this right get the oil

01:05:06.740 get the hemisphere but get the paperwork and the people right get it get them on your side

01:05:15.100 make them partners and this is one good thing about dealing with somebody like donald trump

01:05:20.720 As a negotiator, he knows there is no good deal

01:05:24.300 unless both sides walk away happy.

01:05:27.820 Unless both sides go, that was a good deal for us.

01:05:30.620 We have to make that a good deal for the Venezuelans as well 0.84

01:05:35.040 because then we will have the entire hemisphere 0.53

01:05:38.720 locked in and have everything we need for the next 100 years

01:05:42.600 and nobody's going to hold us hostage.

01:07:43.440 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. We want to thank you for tuning in today. Again, welcome to listeners in Baltimore, WBAL. We're thrilled to have our newest and latest affiliate be WBAL in Baltimore, a legendary station. It's an honor to be on the air with WBAL.

01:08:04.540 um uh also i gotta tell you thank you for being that you're one of the most incredible audiences

01:08:12.300 in uh the country do you realize what you've accomplished this week um earlier this week

01:08:20.000 we had the president on and we were having a conversation and because i had all these

01:08:24.800 questions sent in from the insiders um uh and you know here are the questions of glenn i want

01:08:31.160 the president to answer i i just we had thousands of them and i took probably the five five of the

01:08:37.360 most important and asked those questions they came from you and then um a lot of people were

01:08:43.440 saying hey this meat thing is getting really really bad you can't let in all this foreign meat

01:08:47.980 and i don't remember how it came up but it wasn't planned and all of a sudden i said i wasn't

01:08:53.300 planning on talking about this we can talk about it elsewhere but mr president you gotta you gotta

01:08:58.140 let my people go you know let let let the farmers and the ranchers break up this monopoly of these

01:09:05.920 four big processing plants and the way you do that is by reducing the regulation so farmers

01:09:11.640 and ranchers can process their own beef locally and he's and it was wild to hear because you could

01:09:18.820 hear him he was no longer doing an interview he was thinking and he was repeating what i was saying

01:09:23.020 and you could tell that he would he had turned away from the phone like this and you could tell

01:09:27.040 So wait a minute. If I, if I take the regulation away and the ranchers consult and will that work, Glenn? Yeah, that'll work. Why we should look into that. And you could tell he was talking to the people in the Oval Office while we were having this conversation. I get a note from him.

01:09:41.700 i don't know a few hours after that interview um great idea i'm working on it got another note from

01:09:49.060 him last night um uh about the lake of america and i said hey where are we on the meat thing

01:09:57.380 this morning he came out uh with a statement on his uh truth social and he says ranchers and

01:10:05.860 farmers have always been number one priority for me they work hard smart efficient and immaculately

01:10:10.140 clean but for years i have heard that they've had a tremendous problem with the big processors who

01:10:14.820 many say are a nasty monopoly they are uh they are essentially four of them very non-competitive

01:10:20.020 number and they make life miserable for our wonderful farmers and ranchers and i can't let

01:10:23.460 that happen so in order to break this powerful monopoly with as much ownership with much of its

01:10:28.560 ownership based outside of the u.s out of the four meat processing companies three of them

01:10:34.680 are owned by foreign countries.

01:10:36.980 One of those countries is China. 1.00

01:10:39.740 Not a good thing.

01:10:40.940 Anyway, he says,

01:10:42.280 I am authorizing legal documents

01:10:44.400 to be drawn in order to allow farmers and ranchers

01:10:47.100 to be given the right to process their own food.

01:10:50.000 This should move quickly.

01:10:51.020 Thanks for your attention.

01:10:51.840 It's better to President Donald J. Trump.

01:10:53.620 That comes from you.

01:10:55.340 That all was in my head

01:10:57.300 because of you, this audience.

01:11:00.220 And if he can get this done,

01:11:02.140 that is going to change everything and again not tomorrow but you will know where your meat comes

01:11:09.240 from you will have cheaper meat because it's not going to be a monopoly um uh and you'll be able to

01:11:16.320 buy from local ranchers and local farmers this is this changes everything this changes everything

01:11:21.640 and it's because of you so thank you thank you um for for doing that by the way if you want your

01:11:28.140 lake of america t-shirt wow i don't know who we have running this dump but uh we've got one out

01:11:58.820 monday um you know we lost the voice of uh optimus prime do we have that audio ricky

01:12:05.820 um we have the voice of of optimus prime who we lost um and uh he was i think he was like 80 years

01:12:16.920 old just an unbelievable voice talent i want you to hear he's talking about how he was auditioning

01:12:25.420 for the part and how his brother changed the way he looked at it listen to this when i voiced prime

01:12:33.280 for the very first time i was living with my brother larry he was a marine and i said i'm

01:12:39.660 going to an audition i'm going to be a truck and he started laughing he said he said a truck and i

01:12:46.660 said this is a leader this is a hero and his demeanor just changed he just went well peter

01:12:53.340 if you're gonna be a leader be strong enough to be gentle and i got to the audition and i said

01:12:59.940 my name is optimus prime from the planet cybertron i had no doubt that this is what a hero should

01:13:06.900 sound like and i was convinced i was gonna get that role

01:13:10.200 is anybody else i am such my man card has been taken from me long ago

01:13:17.680 is anybody else i'm projecting tears onto you i mean my gosh i mean that when he says i am optimus

01:13:27.200 prime he this is i mean that is the power of the human voice and the power of of of thought

01:13:38.840 And his brother was so right.

01:13:41.680 With real power, try this, comes great response, but no.

01:13:46.080 With real power, real power, leadership, you have to be compassionate.

01:13:58.120 It requires you to have compassion.

01:14:00.920 It requires you to have empathy.

01:14:02.740 It requires you to be kind.

01:14:05.320 And I think that's what brought tears to my eyes when he said, I am Optimus Prime.

01:14:10.120 Play that part again.

01:14:12.520 Listen to the way he says it.

01:14:13.840 You can hear the empathy.

01:14:16.120 You can hear the kindness in his voice happen immediately.

01:14:20.660 Go ahead.

01:14:21.980 This went, oh, Peter, if you're going to be a leader, be strong enough to be gentle.

01:14:27.380 And I got to the audition and I said, my name is Optimus Prime from the planet Cybertron.

01:14:33.620 I had no doubt that this is what a hero should sound like

01:14:37.380 I mean just

01:14:39.820 incredible

01:14:41.700 it's been kind of a tough week

01:14:46.220 you know

01:14:47.440 lost the voice of Optimus Prime

01:14:49.820 but really lost

01:14:52.780 I think America's Queen Elizabeth

01:14:54.800 in losing Dolly Parton this week

01:14:58.000 I don't know do they make them like that anymore

01:15:02.840 i can't look at and you know i'm sure when somebody died when dolly was coming up

01:15:12.740 people said the same thing they don't make them like that anymore they're never going to be that

01:15:16.980 way again and dolly came into our lives and i'm sure there's somebody out there but i don't see

01:15:24.980 them. Somebody tell me the one person that the the DSA and Donald Trump tweets nice things about

01:15:37.120 when they die. Who has that? There's nobody that I know that has that. And that took a lifetime of

01:15:47.780 work. Of her, honestly, I've been seeing so many clips of her this week, of her just

01:15:54.160 belittling herself. Every interview she did, she belittled herself. And she did it with charm and 0.96

01:16:05.540 grace. And I know it was sincere. She didn't take herself so seriously. But she certainly

01:16:17.460 didn't deserve the belittling that she gave herself,

01:16:21.840 but she did it so she didn't seem like,

01:16:25.700 I'm above everybody else.

01:16:27.040 I'm a star.

01:16:28.100 I'm this, I'm that.

01:16:31.080 It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.

01:16:34.720 I mean, that's just a great line.

01:16:38.120 And in some ways she meant it.

01:16:41.320 But she never tried to hold herself out as the big person.

01:16:45.460 And as I told you earlier this week,

01:16:46.880 she turned down the Medal of Freedom

01:16:49.380 from Joe Biden

01:16:51.500 and she turned down the Medal of Freedom

01:16:53.880 from Donald Trump.

01:16:55.340 She said no to both of them.

01:16:57.740 They were going to build a statue

01:16:58.900 near the Capitol in Tennessee

01:17:01.980 and she said no.

01:17:04.100 I don't think it's right to have a statue of me.

01:17:08.640 You know what that is?

01:17:09.560 That's the spirit of George Washington.

01:17:15.200 I think that's probably

01:17:16.300 the closest in my lifetime in the spirit of

01:17:18.180 can you think of anybody else

01:17:19.900 I mean I would have followed

01:17:22.160 Dolly into battle

01:17:23.040 you know I would have followed somebody like that into

01:17:26.200 battle where where they

01:17:28.120 would listen and they were kind

01:17:30.000 and they were humble they were Optimus Prime

01:17:31.840 they

01:17:32.840 they were like come on I don't want to be

01:17:36.220 here you don't want to be here but we can do this together

01:17:38.060 that's what George Washington

01:17:40.120 was

01:17:40.560 and he wasn't I mean I bet Dolly 0.99

01:17:44.180 Parton might have been a better general 1.00

01:17:46.040 He was not a good general.

01:17:47.580 He was just not a good, he wasn't a good war strategist, let's just say.

01:17:54.000 But I don't see those, I don't see those people.

01:17:56.800 Ricky, you were going to say?

01:17:58.360 Yeah, I'm sorry, I thought you were asking me a question,

01:18:00.220 but you talked to, you know, millions of other people besides me.

01:18:03.660 No, this show's not about you, Ricky. It's really not, it's really not about you.

01:18:05.920 I don't know if you know that.

01:18:06.420 What I was going to say, though, is you have compared Charlie Kirk

01:18:09.040 to George Washington in the past, and you actually, in a few weeks,

01:18:12.840 have a very big moment to honor the one-year anniversary of his death.

01:18:20.460 And I don't know if you still feel that way about Charlie.

01:18:22.380 Yeah, at UVU where he was, I do feel that way about Charlie.

01:18:27.240 You know, I'm going to be honoring him at UVU where he was shot and killed.

01:18:31.460 And it's an honor to have been asked to be there

01:18:37.820 and to speak on the one-year anniversary.

01:18:42.840 Gosh, now you're bringing that up.

01:18:45.520 You know, I lowered the flag here at the ranch to half mass for Dolly Parton.

01:18:52.600 I talked to the president.

01:18:53.760 The president didn't even know that that was, he was like, that's never happened before.

01:18:56.920 I'm like, no, not for an entertainer.

01:18:58.420 He's like, huh.

01:19:00.020 Well, she deserves it.

01:19:01.880 And I had felt the same way the night before. 0.56

01:19:04.460 When I went to bed and I heard, I was like, I want to go lower the flag for her.

01:19:08.920 But it wasn't appropriate.

01:19:10.420 and the president felt the same way

01:19:13.100 and so the flag is lowered

01:19:14.300 that

01:19:19.780 flagpole was put up

01:19:22.620 a year ago today

01:19:24.660 it went into the ground a year ago

01:19:27.300 today

01:19:27.640 and it was two weeks later that I was lowering it

01:19:31.300 for my friend Charlie Kirk

01:19:32.460 I'm putting a little

01:19:35.460 plaque at the

01:19:36.380 flagpole, my family calls it

01:19:39.320 the Charlie Kirk Memorial flagpole.

01:19:50.040 We've lost a lot of great people.

01:19:52.040 But you know what?

01:19:52.720 I think what's great is, you know, God doesn't need us.

01:20:01.860 He doesn't need us.

01:20:02.800 He really doesn't.

01:20:03.640 If he did, he wouldn't be God.

01:20:05.080 He doesn't need us.

01:20:06.420 He wants us to be involved.

01:20:09.320 And as more and more of these great people are lost, it requires us to look inside of ourself and say, well, I'll step up.

01:20:24.260 I'll step in.

01:20:26.920 Somewhere, and I said this earlier this week, somewhere I know there is another Charlie Kirk.

01:20:35.360 I know there's another Dolly Parton.

01:20:37.180 16 years ago today, 16 years ago today

01:20:41.320 I stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial

01:20:43.460 and I said, one man can change the world

01:20:46.680 determine that that one man is you

01:20:52.460 and I said in that speech

01:20:56.040 maybe perhaps in this crowd

01:20:58.900 there's a 12 year old kid

01:21:02.640 who will hear about George Washington

01:21:06.740 and these great leaders, they will say, I'm going to do that.

01:21:11.400 I'm going to live my life like that.

01:21:18.260 This week, maybe it's a good thing to think, man, we're at the end of the week.

01:21:22.660 Maybe it's a good thing to think about it and ponder it this weekend.

01:21:25.980 Spend your time thinking, what can I do to be better?

01:21:29.220 What can I do to be more like George Washington, more like Charlie Kirk,

01:21:33.600 more like Dolly Parton?

01:21:34.740 how can i be more uniting how can i be this person that everybody everybody goes no no no

01:21:43.620 i respected her too more in a minute let me tell you about rapid radios there's a reason the

01:24:12.540 I want to see you.

01:24:14.460 Watson hears every syllable.

01:24:26.380 To my delight, he came and declared that he had heard and understood what I said.

01:24:34.340 It is such a great romp through history.

01:28:05.640 Glenn Beck is on.

01:28:08.020 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:12.880 Thank you so much for listening, and thank you to our new listeners in Baltimore, in WBAL.

01:28:20.360 That's AM 1090 FM 101.5 in Baltimore.

01:28:25.900 It is the flagship of the Ravens and the Orioles.

01:28:28.860 I mean, it's a legendary station, and it's an honor to be part of the lineup of WBAL, so thank you for tuning in.

01:28:35.480 I want to talk to you about the reason why some of the things that are happening today are happening.

01:28:41.080 You know, I talked to you last hour.

01:28:43.220 If you were listening, if you weren't, what's wrong with you?

01:28:46.680 Oh, that's right.

01:28:47.200 You can get it wherever you get your podcasts or at glenbeck.com slash torch.

01:28:51.700 But listen to the show because the last hour I was talking about things that are happening with the Venezuela oil fields

01:28:57.720 and how the president is strategically positioning this country for a win 10 years from now, 20 years from now.

01:29:06.640 He is making us into an economic powerhouse, if it works.

01:29:13.460 And so far, all of the pieces are falling into place.

01:29:17.560 You know, there's some things we have to worry about getting through all of this short term.

01:29:22.620 But I want to talk to you about manufacturing and what is happening in America, because that's good news.

01:29:26.960 and a little shocking when you realize what we no longer can even make in america we're gonna go

01:29:33.520 there in 60 seconds first you know your business probably has outgrown something that you haven't

01:29:38.840 noticed yet maybe it's office space that you're in maybe it's that dinosaur of a computer system

01:29:43.560 maybe it's a printer you brought bought years ago that now sounds like a helicopter trying to take

01:29:48.300 off it's weird isn't it businesses usually change a little bit at a time you hire people you add a

01:29:53.680 service, you buy equipment, you move into bigger space, you take on different customers, because

01:29:58.220 it happens gradually. One day you look at your company and realize, wow, this isn't the same

01:30:02.060 business I started a couple of years ago. Something much, much bigger. So here's the question. Have

01:30:06.680 you outgrown the insurance policy that you had a couple of years ago? If so, SuperSure is there to

01:30:55.620 paid for by supersure insurance agency llc a licensed insurance agency

01:30:59.000 so we had some really good news that i haven't heard a lot of people celebrate

01:31:05.140 uh and that is the the philadelphia feds manufacturing survey showed that american

01:31:10.640 factories are having their strongest current conditions in more than five years. And what is

01:31:15.660 even better is that the manufacturer expectations. So you're building factories. How do you feel

01:31:24.460 business is going to be here in a short while? What are you seeing as the outlook? It is the

01:31:30.920 highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983, when we started building things

01:31:37.240 again and we started having a boom again and we got out of the the doldrums of the carter years

01:31:42.200 it is also the one the biggest one month jump in recorded history so manufacturing is feeling good

01:31:50.700 and that is why the president keeps touting this number and saying you know 18 18 trillion dollars

01:31:56.460 have been brought into the united states because he's talking about building factories and it's

01:32:01.380 something that most people just roll their eyes yeah i got it i got it 18 trillion dollars have

01:32:06.460 come in biggest investment in american history blah blah blah blah blah and they don't care

01:32:10.380 because they don't they're not going to feel that one for 5 10 15 years down the road but it will

01:32:17.240 make a huge difference and here's where it matters in 2014 the united states we decided to restart

01:32:27.280 the production of the patriot missile and when we did that we all of a sudden discovered

01:32:33.620 oh crap we can't do that why we had money politics were in line

01:32:41.380 because one of the parts is a gyroscope and america had listen to this lost the ability 0.96

01:32:51.920 to make the gyroscope the knowledge was gone the line was gone the people who had built it in the

01:32:59.980 past were gone. So we had to go to China, I'm sorry, to Japan and ask them, can you build this

01:33:07.120 gyroscope for us? So Japan's government approved the export and Japanese gyroscopes went into

01:33:14.100 American missiles. Nobody held a hearing about it. You know, no anchor led a newscast with it.

01:33:22.300 I bet you, you didn't know that. We can't make gyroscopes for our missiles.

01:33:27.220 this is how a nation loses the ability to make things and it's never by decision it's never with

01:33:35.220 a vote it's a plant that closes on a tuesday and the local newspaper runs you know 300 words about

01:33:41.480 the layoffs and the men who knew how to run the machine go get other jobs and 20 years later

01:33:46.720 somebody in a briefing room says the word gyroscope and everybody's like oh crap okay

01:33:53.600 Let me give you the list of the things we can no longer make.

01:33:57.880 Titanium sponge.

01:34:00.420 Sounds like some sort of a birth control device or something.

01:34:04.800 I don't know.

01:34:05.220 You clean pots and pans.

01:34:06.400 I don't know what it is, but apparently it's the raw metal form that you need before you can make anything out of titanium, okay?

01:34:14.140 We can't make it.

01:34:15.600 Jet engine rotating parts, aircraft structure, armor, missile bodies, submarine components.

01:34:22.460 You can't make them because we don't have the titanium sponge.

01:34:27.620 The United States Geological Survey reported that America produced no titanium sponge in 2025.

01:34:36.540 None.

01:34:37.840 That's not a good thing.

01:34:40.440 The last domestic plant closed in 2024.

01:34:44.260 There are two idled facilities sitting in Utah and one in Nevada.

01:34:48.060 One dark since 2020 and the other one dark since 2016.

01:34:52.460 Our sponge now comes from Japan and Kazakhstan. 0.99

01:35:00.080 Kazakhstan. 0.91

01:35:01.240 Is that the one that's like part of Russia?

01:35:04.720 I mean, really?

01:35:07.900 We're depending on, they can make that?

01:35:10.680 We can't?

01:35:12.800 You know we can't make penicillin in America anymore?

01:35:15.560 There was a plant in East Syracuse built in 1943, built for the war.

01:35:20.700 At its peak, it made up to 70% of our penicillin.

01:35:24.700 In 2004, it shut down penicillin production.

01:35:28.820 That was it.

01:35:29.460 That was the last one.

01:35:30.120 We haven't made any penicillin in this country since 2004.

01:35:33.500 We can't.

01:35:34.720 We have not made the active ingredient for penicillin in 22 years.

01:35:39.820 And in the past year, Merck closed a plant in rural Pennsylvania that made the ingredients

01:35:45.900 for the whole beta-lactam family.

01:35:51.160 Again, I don't, I mean, does it have anything to do with titanium sponge?

01:35:54.680 Because I'm practically an expert on that.

01:35:56.660 These are the antibiotics that hold up surgery and cancer care

01:36:01.260 and the intensive care unit.

01:36:02.960 We can't make that stuff now.

01:36:06.260 There was a trade journal that said,

01:36:08.400 this is how quietly and incrementally strategic manufacturing disappears

01:36:14.060 until rebuilding it costs more than anyone will pay.

01:36:19.480 We're there, gang.

01:36:22.140 Rare earth magnets,

01:36:25.040 small, brutally powerful magnets with electric motors.

01:36:30.240 That's an MRI machine.

01:36:32.580 That's a missile guidance system.

01:36:34.720 We consumed roughly 48,000 metric tons of these in 2026.

01:36:41.360 domestic production under a thousand tons some estimates say only a few hundred tons were

01:36:49.740 actually available to buy the rest you know comes from a country that put two of our own producers

01:36:56.460 on its export blacklist in june this is not good so when you hear the economic outlook from the

01:37:05.240 manufacturing and they're like yay we're going to start building things celebrate because we've been

01:37:09.920 here before not in america but in the rest of the world let me tell you how that ended let me tell

01:37:16.300 you about a weapon that we still don't really understand nobody can make this anymore 1300 0.95

01:37:22.480 years ago constantinople last wall standing between the arab hordes and the whole of the

01:37:29.380 christian east fleet after fleet after fleet came and the city should have fallen but it didn't 1.00

01:37:36.700 because a refugee engineer came to the emperor 0.95

01:37:41.960 with a formula and it was a liquid

01:37:44.560 that you could pump through a bronze tube

01:37:47.180 mounted on the bow of the ship.

01:37:49.340 You could ignite it and you could spray

01:37:51.980 all of it across the water

01:37:53.440 and it would burn on the water.

01:37:56.380 It would stick to the hull

01:37:58.040 and it would burn everything down, okay? 0.99

01:38:00.720 It would stick to men

01:38:02.180 and men would jump from the boat into the water

01:38:06.280 and it would still burn in the water.

01:38:08.760 In fact, the sea caught fire.

01:38:10.760 Water made it worse.

01:38:13.080 They called it Greek fire.

01:38:14.760 Have you ever heard of Greek fire?

01:38:17.160 It twice saved that city and everything behind it. 0.63

01:38:21.300 And then the Byzantines understood exactly what they had,

01:38:24.160 so they guarded it,

01:38:25.460 and they never wrote the whole formula down.

01:38:28.640 They said, don't.

01:38:29.380 It can't be in the hands of one person.

01:38:30.880 Never write it down together, the whole thing.

01:38:32.600 And so they split the knowledge among a handful of families

01:38:35.980 and the imperial household.

01:38:38.900 So nobody had the whole key to Greek fire, okay?

01:38:43.080 The emperor left written instructions to his son. 0.97

01:38:45.780 If a foreigner ever asks you for the fire, 1.00

01:38:48.240 tell him an angel delivered it to the first Christian emperor 0.92

01:38:51.040 and the man who once tried to give it away was struck dead, okay? 0.62

01:38:57.300 So they protected it perfectly and they lost it.

01:39:03.740 Nobody exactly knows when.

01:39:06.140 There's no battle where it failed, no treaty where it was surrendered.

01:39:09.500 It just stopped being made.

01:39:12.060 The families died out, or the ingredients stopped arriving,

01:39:15.220 or a generation went by without needing it, and so nobody knew it.

01:39:18.760 And nobody had the formula. It was lost.

01:39:21.260 When the Crusaders finally came through the walls in 1204, the fire wasn't there.

01:39:26.120 To this day, we don't know how they did it.

01:39:29.440 Nobody knows the recipe.

01:39:30.820 It was the most feared weapon in the medieval world, and it just was gone.

01:39:38.220 Why?

01:39:39.880 Because the men who could make it stopped making it,

01:39:43.520 and no one noticed the day they lost it all, and it could never be made again.

01:39:50.840 So now back to that list I was giving, because I want you to hear this one differently.

01:39:55.320 The Government Accountability Office looked at the chemicals that go into solid rocket motors,

01:40:00.160 the propulsion in nearly every missile we own and it reported for one material used in the motor

01:40:09.600 insulation uh insulation a material nearly all defense department missile systems has there is

01:40:16.860 no longer any domestic supplier not not a not a fragile one not like one it's like oh well it's

01:40:23.400 kind of iffy i don't know if that plant's gonna make it no no no no no there's nobody that makes

01:40:28.060 it in america and it added uh to that another chemical needed to produce that material is no

01:40:35.520 longer in production at all anywhere that kind of sounds like greek fire ships in 2023 china

01:40:46.660 delivered almost 800 commercial vessels you know how many united states made same time period

01:40:54.720 Seven.

01:40:56.960 One Chinese state shipbuilder built more commercial tonnage in 2024

01:41:00.680 than the entire American shipbuilding industry has built

01:41:05.320 since the end of the Second World War.

01:41:12.200 Today, two American yards build large, ocean-going commercial cargo ships.

01:41:16.980 Two.

01:41:18.440 That is from the country that launched a Liberty ship every few days.

01:41:22.500 transformers the refrigerator size things that make the entire electrical grid work

01:41:28.640 american utilities are now buying factory slots from turkey and south korea years in advance

01:41:37.100 sometimes without a project attached to it just to hold the place in line

01:41:41.540 we don't even make that we're going to turkey

01:41:44.780 now none of this was treason

01:41:48.800 nobody sold us out

01:41:50.040 every single one of these was a rational business decision

01:41:53.140 made by a competent executive

01:41:54.700 who was right about the numbers

01:41:56.380 foreign competitors were cheaper

01:41:58.880 the margins were thin

01:41:59.980 the plant was old

01:42:00.960 the shareholders were owing a return

01:42:03.940 multiply that

01:42:06.000 by 10,000 quarterly earning calls

01:42:08.600 over 30 years 0.87

01:42:09.660 and you get a country that can't make a gyroscope 0.51

01:42:14.780 We didn't sell the fire. 1.00

01:42:16.360 We just let the family die out.

01:42:19.760 So what do we do?

01:42:22.380 I got a list.

01:42:23.620 I'll give that to you in 60 seconds.

01:44:05.500 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:44:09.260 so what do we do about this um well i i think that our uh president is doing something about

01:44:26.740 this that's why he keeps talking about the 18 trillion dollars in investments that's coming

01:44:30.800 in and i know you don't feel it and it's a problem because he's trying to fix a long-term

01:44:37.020 he's trying to fix the short term

01:44:39.120 and he's spending all his time on the long term

01:44:41.800 because he knows

01:44:43.020 somebody else is going to come in here

01:44:44.720 and they can turn all this stuff off

01:44:45.860 but if I'm building factories

01:44:47.420 they're not going to shut that off

01:44:48.620 so the first thing that the nation has to do

01:44:52.640 is write down all the stuff

01:44:54.400 you know there's no complete national inventory

01:44:56.300 of what we can no longer make

01:44:57.860 there probably should be

01:44:59.340 the Pentagon is finding out one part at a time

01:45:02.640 okay that's a problem

01:45:05.140 we should map this

01:45:06.340 We should publish what should be published or can be published and know what we can't fix when we absolutely have to fix it.

01:45:15.060 Second, buy the capability, not the product.

01:45:19.000 The reason these plants died is that nobody would guarantee a buyer.

01:45:23.200 A titanium sponge plant needs $150 million in modernization, and no board approves that against a one-year government order.

01:45:32.880 Okay? Multi-year contracts, guaranteed floors. We have to start doing that as we rebuild our

01:45:38.560 country. And the government has done it before with strategic stockpiles, and it works, and we

01:45:43.180 have to. Third, we can't bring all of it home. Pretending that we can is a waste of a decade.

01:45:50.680 Some of these industries left because their economics are genuinely brutal. And a subsidized

01:45:57.400 plant that survives only on federal money, that's not resilience. It's a museum with a payroll.

01:46:02.600 it's really bad that's how you get communism it's bad so we have to be ruthless about the list

01:46:08.020 you know not everything the choke points that's what why venezuela is so important today if you

01:46:13.720 haven't heard about what's why that's in the news today this is big news you know the things where

01:46:21.060 there is one supplier or none and where the nation you know if we we're getting it from a nation that

01:46:29.420 we might fight with, and they could just throw the switch, that would probably be something we

01:46:33.260 bring home. That's the difference between industrial policy and nostalgia. Oh, I want

01:46:39.300 it to be like, no, I don't care what it used to be like. We have to live in tomorrow. You know what

01:46:44.080 I mean? Here's the good news. Constantinople's loss of that Greek fire, that was permanent

01:46:50.980 because nobody wrote it down, or when they did write it down, they broke it up, and so when

01:46:56.560 the last man who knew part of it died. The knowledge was lost for good. 700 years of

01:47:03.160 chemists have tried, and we still don't know what that was. Good news is that's not our situation.

01:47:10.520 The Utah plant is still standing. Turn the lights back on. The men who ran the Syracuse line are

01:47:17.580 still alive. The engineering is in a filing cabinet somewhere, and the physics haven't changed.

01:47:23.140 we've just forgotten how to do it because we stopped you know that's why why why is it so

01:47:28.720 hard to go to the moon because we haven't gone to the moon since 1969 that's why nobody nobody's

01:47:38.320 alive anymore that went and you know like i'm building the rockets we had to rebuild and we

01:47:43.520 had to learn all of this we had to retool the factories or build the factories you know

01:47:47.720 forgetting is permanent. Stopping is a choice, and a choice can be unmade, and we are unmaking

01:47:55.020 some of those choices, but only if we're a people that will admit it first out loud and without

01:48:00.800 embarrassment. I mean, look, we can't do this anymore. We should. That gyroscope, that was a

01:48:09.780 warning. We found out about the gyroscope 12 years ago. Maybe we should pay attention

01:48:24.240 when the president says we're bringing manufacturing back $18 trillion of investment.

01:48:29.540 Now maybe perhaps you know why that is so important.

01:48:39.780 you know i'm a big believer in brand loyalty up to a point i mean you find a good pair of shoes

01:48:53.240 buy them again it's great find great toothpaste love it keep buying it i mean the last thing i

01:48:58.900 need to spend my saturday morning you know what are you doing saturday i'm comparing uh new

01:49:03.420 toothpaste i'm looking for a new i'm fine with the one i have i really like it but i need to

01:49:07.060 compare them now medicare is a terrible place to be loyal to a logo okay because the question isn't

01:49:14.760 which company has the commercial you remember the question is which company has the plan that

01:49:19.880 actually makes sense for you my doctors my prescriptions you know my needs on a budget

01:49:25.200 if you or your your parents are going through this you've got to call chapter they are licensed

01:49:31.140 medicare advisors uh they don't work for any of them they're not trying to sell you anything they

01:49:36.040 can, they're the only ones that can compare all of the options available to you and help

01:49:40.700 you understand the difference.

01:49:41.960 They're not paid to push you towards one particular plan.

01:49:44.740 And that matters because when somebody is helping you make this decision, that's this

01:49:49.180 important, you want them looking at your situation, not trying to make your situation fit, whatever

01:49:54.140 there is that they're selling.

01:49:55.760 I want you to go to chapter now and compare.

01:49:58.220 Chapter, go to chapter, pound 250, keyword chapter, pound 250, keyword chapter.

01:50:06.040 We'll be right back.

01:50:36.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:41.520 There's some big news if you are Roman Catholic or you're Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, or Armenian Christian.

01:50:54.340 um the the church of the holy sepulcher which is in jerusalem said and they just announced that

01:51:03.740 they may have found the actual tomb of christ and it's underneath the one that they thought it was

01:51:12.160 now let me let me give you some history this a it's an amazing church when you walk into it i

01:51:17.600 was just there a couple of weeks ago and let me in fact uh let me bring the slides of my vacation

01:51:22.380 Let me just show you some things if you happen to be watching us.

01:51:26.040 Let me show you some things.

01:51:29.300 This is the outside.

01:51:35.660 Cut one.

01:51:36.320 This is the outside of the church of the Holy Sepulcher.

01:51:40.000 It seems like a simple thing built when Helena came from Constantinople

01:51:49.300 and Emperor Constantine, that's his mom,

01:51:51.600 she came and she's like i think it was here and then she'd go to another place and i think it

01:51:56.660 happened here i think it happened here and it was not archaeologically based at all it was just

01:52:01.920 based on her the mom of constantine um and you know there was some things um you know that that

01:52:08.260 played in but archaeologists are now starting to say a lot of those things are not where it happened

01:52:13.820 because they're starting to dig underneath um the places that she was walking on because it's you

01:52:20.420 The time of Christ is two or three stories down.

01:52:23.700 You have to dig down to get to the time of Christ.

01:52:27.420 And so that's what this church did.

01:52:29.980 The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, they started going down, and I was just there.

01:52:35.340 And let me show you the cut to, I think, is the tomb from inside the church.

01:52:42.900 So you walk into this church, and there's this big building inside the building almost, one little doorway.

01:52:53.420 And you walk in, and they say, this is protecting the tomb of Christ.

01:52:59.200 Go to picture three.

01:53:02.860 This is the inside of that building that's inside.

01:53:05.920 This is where they say Christ was buried, right there.

01:53:09.080 That was his tomb.

01:53:10.160 okay now archaeologists are saying no that's not true we found something um they were excavating

01:53:19.180 in 2025 and they were doing a floor restoration they're still doing it it's really the church is

01:53:25.040 a mess i just saw it and they were doing some excavation and they found that there are tombs

01:53:31.160 underneath and they think that now maybe they found the tomb of christ underneath that tomb

01:53:36.200 I personally think it's the garden tomb, a different place entirely, that some experts say that is it.

01:53:43.060 Others, everybody's arguing about it.

01:53:44.460 It doesn't matter.

01:53:45.400 It was in the general, everything in Jerusalem is like, I don't know, probably, it's within, I don't know, 20 yards that way or 20 yards this way.

01:53:53.320 It's around here.

01:53:55.000 So every place that you're walking is, you know, something happened there.

01:53:59.240 But what's funny about this church is if you look, if you go inside, give me a picture for, this is an altar, and I don't remember which, because there are four churches that run this.

01:54:12.540 It's the Roman Catholic, the Greek Orthodox, the Russian Orthodox, and the Armenians, and they don't necessarily all agree with each other, but they all own this church together and have forever.

01:54:23.540 there's one place where you go into another cave almost where you see all of these tombs inside

01:54:33.300 there's this altar and i'm standing next to it and i'm like look at this all i mean this is

01:54:38.200 beat to crap it's i mean it's just complete disrepair um it's broken everything else and i

01:54:45.220 look at the guy and our tour guide and i said omer why is this like this and he said you can't 0.93

01:54:52.000 fix anything in here. And I said, what do you mean you can't fix anything in here? I said,

01:54:56.800 they're doing construction, you know, they're on something doing on the floor. I didn't know that

01:55:01.140 they were going to be announced the next week that they had found another, what they say is

01:55:05.600 the tomb of Christ. I said, what do you mean you can't fix anything here? And he said, because

01:55:10.800 it's run by four churches. And then he took me back outside. This is crazy. Takes me back outside.

01:55:17.240 Show that picture of the outside of the church again. I think it was picture one. He takes me

01:55:21.340 outside and he's like look at the front of this building and i said okay and he said the church

01:55:29.060 in 1860 somebody wanted to do something to the inside they were gonna one of the churches said

01:55:34.160 we're gonna repair this we're gonna do this and the other churches didn't agree with it and so

01:55:38.780 they decided well uh i want to do this and the other three churches said no and so they they

01:55:45.800 got together in this council and they decided unless all four churches decide that they want

01:55:51.160 to do that, nothing can be done, including repairing of the church, okay? So these guys

01:55:58.540 don't agree on anything. And so now things are just going on, you know, unrepaired in some parts

01:56:05.120 of this church. But what is the tell of this is if you look at that picture where I'm showing a

01:56:11.700 picture of a giant church, an old church, and there's two windows above two doors. And on the

01:56:19.520 right-hand window as you're looking at the church, you see a ladder, and it's propped up against the

01:56:26.040 window. And you can go there tomorrow in 10 years. You could have been there 50 years ago,

01:56:34.680 100 years ago, and you would have seen that ladder. Why? Because the day the council got

01:56:41.340 together and said, we cannot make any changes, there was a guy on that ladder washing the

01:56:46.320 windows. When he finished washing the windows, he started to remove the ladder, and one of the guys

01:56:52.560 from one of the churches said, no, no, no, nope, nope, nope. Do not remove that ladder. We don't

01:56:58.280 have permission, and he may have just been making like a, he may have been just being a jerk to the 0.98

01:57:03.940 other and go, okay, we're going to live by this. Okay, we don't do anything, but that ladder has 0.95

01:57:09.220 sat there under that window since 1860 with nobody moving it so when they say hey we just

01:57:18.740 found something because we've been digging under the church that's a big deal that's a really big

01:57:22.500 deal and i went i did go under the church um show a picture five this is a picture of a stone wall

01:57:30.260 and you see all of these crosses this is just to give you some some concept we have no concept of

01:57:37.820 time here in america this is going down in and the farther down you go uh the farther back in

01:57:45.160 history this is just on the upper level on the upper steps as you begin to go down

01:57:49.980 all of those crosses were made by knights of the templar as they would come down into this church

01:58:00.060 they would make their cross and it was just leaving your mark and saying i was here

01:58:06.440 i mean it's it's like it's kind of cool graffiti probably wasn't cool at the time you know somebody

01:58:13.880 was like oh these knights keep coming in and i can't wash it off because they're carving it into

01:58:18.160 the stone and they kept doing it now this whole wall is just filled with those crosses from that

01:58:23.440 time period it's really a remarkable place remarkable place if you ever have the chance

01:58:29.720 to go to the Holy Land, you should.

01:58:33.320 What they have found in the recent years is remarkable.

01:58:38.760 I was there, I don't know, 15 years ago,

01:58:41.220 and I haven't been back since.

01:58:43.380 And I took my kids because I wanted them to see it.

01:58:46.960 And so I took my kids,

01:58:49.180 and they were just little the last time we went,

01:58:51.920 and they don't remember really anything.

01:58:53.800 and the city of David they have found the the pool where the Lord said get up and walk

01:59:05.920 and it's the pool where everybody had to wash themselves before they went into the temple

01:59:12.060 and then they when they found that because a sewer pipe broke these you know excavators came

01:59:18.760 in and started digging down to get the pipe and fix the pipe and they it scraped across a stone

01:59:24.600 and they thought it was a rock and they started to look at it and they're like that no this is

01:59:27.980 carved so in jerusalem everything has to stop and they found that this was connected to staircase

01:59:34.380 and the staircase was going down to this pool and they're like oh my gosh this is and then they found

01:59:39.600 more stairs as they went down and the stairs led then to a walkway from the time of crisis the road

01:59:48.240 that the Lord walked on to go up from the pool

01:59:52.340 to the temple mount, to the place

01:59:54.580 to where he turned over the tables.

01:59:56.480 And it's all two stories underground.

01:59:59.200 And they've done all of this archaeological work

02:00:03.280 in 15 years.

02:00:04.740 And the stuff that is on the horizon,

02:00:06.680 I saw some things that I was asked not to say

02:00:10.300 what it was, but I saw some things

02:00:13.620 that they think right behind this wall

02:00:16.620 is something and and you're standing there you're like wait what um i stood in a um

02:00:27.060 uh in a well if you will a cistern where they think that's where jeremiah was thrown into the

02:00:36.540 cistern and was stuck in the mud because he was like hey you know jerusalem's going to be destroyed

02:00:42.360 and the king didn't like it, so it throws him down.

02:00:44.660 And then somebody's like, yeah, he's Jeremiah.

02:00:47.220 We probably shouldn't do that to him.

02:00:49.240 So they get all these people to throw a rope down

02:00:52.640 and pull him out of the mud and pull him up.

02:00:54.820 It stood in that cistern.

02:00:58.160 The things that you can see now,

02:00:59.920 it is no longer based on Constantine's mom going,

02:01:06.380 yep, I think that's where it happened.

02:01:07.860 It is all based on archaeological evidence now

02:01:10.480 and the things that they are finding.

02:01:12.360 are remarkable, remarkable.

02:01:14.820 Now is the time to see the Holy Land.

02:01:18.820 It is remarkable.

02:01:21.300 So if you're a Church of the Holy Sepulchre fan,

02:01:25.880 the tomb that they said was his tomb,

02:01:28.480 probably not his tomb,

02:01:29.700 and it's coming from them.

02:01:30.820 They think they just found another one deeper down

02:01:34.360 that they say that's where Christ was laid.

02:01:38.560 All right, more in a minute.

02:01:39.420 Let me tell you about the International Fellowship

02:01:41.200 of Christians and Jews.

02:01:42.360 And there are people who pray for you because you know them.

02:01:46.080 There are people you come to know because you pray for them.

02:01:51.020 I think that's the remarkable thing about prayer is it connects all of us.

02:01:55.040 When you pray for somebody, their troubles stop being somebody else's trouble.

02:01:59.180 You start paying attention to their troubles, and it kind of becomes yours in a good way.

02:02:02.980 You start caring more about what happens to them.

02:02:05.420 Christians have a particular reason to pray for the Jewish people, the land of Israel, the people of Israel,

02:02:10.520 the covenants, the prophets, the scriptures.

02:02:13.160 I mean, everything I saw is in Israel. 1.00

02:02:15.500 And I will tell you, if the Muslims get a hold of it, 1.00

02:02:18.380 it will not be, I mean, I was up on the Temple Mount. 1.00

02:02:22.440 I saw what they've done to the Temple Mount.

02:02:24.440 It's not good.

02:02:25.260 It's not good.

02:02:26.820 And if you want to see the Bible,

02:02:30.040 you want to see where Jesus,

02:02:31.400 then you should care about this.

02:02:33.200 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

02:02:34.960 has spent decades bringing Christians and Jews together.

02:02:37.900 And, you know, this is the time when that bond really means something.

02:02:42.480 Sometimes a prayer begins, you know, with somebody far away.

02:02:45.440 And then before long, you stop feeling so distant.

02:02:48.140 Let that happen to you.

02:02:49.720 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,

02:02:51.880 praying for the safety of the Jewish people no matter where they are

02:02:54.820 and for peace in Israel for all people.

02:02:59.220 Together, we need to remind God's people that they are not alone.

02:03:03.320 Stand with the people of Israel and the Jewish people in prayer today.

02:03:07.500 visit PreyIFCJ.org. That's PreyIFCJ.org.

02:03:46.480 Tomorrow, don't miss the final episode of the American Story podcast series.

02:04:09.820 It's episode 20, America's Centennial and the 1876 election crisis.

02:04:16.480 And America's 100-year anniversary was a wild ride.

02:04:22.180 One hand, the nation was stepping into the future of the telephone and all of these amazing things.

02:04:27.120 You know, Wild West, the legends, they were being born.

02:04:30.120 Custer's last stand, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok.

02:04:33.800 All of it is in this episode.

02:04:35.660 And then the greatest drama unfolded in presidential elections.

02:04:40.740 And we cover that.

02:04:42.160 And you don't want to miss episode 20.

02:04:44.260 Here's a clip of it.

02:04:46.480 Now, March 10th, Bell and Watson test their latest version in separate rooms connected by wire.

02:04:52.680 Bell leans towards the transmitter and says,

02:04:55.760 Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.

02:05:00.840 Watson hears every syllable. He rushes in, stunned.

02:05:05.320 Bell has just completed the first successful telephone call.

02:05:09.300 He records the moment in his laboratory notebook with quiet triumph.

02:05:12.760 To my delight, he came and declared that he had heard and understood what I said.

02:05:19.680 Later that year, still glowing from the breakthrough, Bell writes to his father with a prophetic certainty.

02:05:25.900 The day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses, just like water or gas,

02:05:31.900 and friends will converse with each other without leaving home.

02:05:35.680 It feels almost inevitable that this world-changing moment arrives in 1876.

02:05:41.320 This is America's centennial year.

02:05:44.120 The nation marks 100 years since the Declaration of Independence,

02:05:47.900 a century already packed with technological change,

02:05:50.720 including the mechanical reaper, steam engine, railroad, and telegraph.

02:05:55.740 The centennial year also overflows with many of the world's most famous legends of the American Wild West.

02:06:02.420 And it brings the most contentious, trying presidential election in the country's 100-year history.

02:06:08.000 one that would threaten the republic itself you if you haven't listened to these stories it is

02:06:16.780 and i say this because it's my staff that it has made it good um it's been written by nathan nipper

02:06:22.980 and um nick daly is the pr is the producer of it and i mean nick should be working in industrial

02:06:29.720 light and magic i mean he is really a great producer and um and so these things are really
