[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] into this here a little bit, but you know, I got to tell you, I have so many friends and so many people that have stopped listening to the news because they think it's the same old, same old, or it's so big. I don't, I mean, you wake up and there's a faction in this country that doesn't want to reform the United States. They want to blow it up. They want to dismantle the entire constitution, treat like it's old furniture that we've suddenly outgrown. Um, you know, I go, we got to get rid of the Supreme Court. Maybe the presidency. I mean, that's a good portion of our country. What the hell is that? And then you see things like the debt, the debts overwhelming. You look at a war against an enemy that would rather die than surrender and you're like, okay, um, I think this is a problem. And then you look at your own family. You look at your own family at the chair that somebody stopped sitting in. It's empty now, not because of death, but because of politics. I mean, this is like the worst war we've ever fought in some ways, the Civil War, the one where the, the line ran straight down the dinner table. The economy grinds on. The government doesn't listen. It'll hear the lobbyist in the room. It'll, honestly, it feels like it'll hear, it'll hear a China. It will hear Japan, but it won't hear the mom at the kitchen table. Our country has gone godless, insane, absolutely insane. And if that's where you are, worn down a little jumpy, ready to switch it off? You're not wrong to feel it. You're not crazy. It's a lot. We're not built. People are not built to deal with all of the world's problems. That's why we're all doing what the president has always done his whole life, you know, all of the presidents. That's why they get gray so fast. That's why they're like, they look like they're 25 when they get in, and they're 87 when they get out because you're not designed to know all of this stuff and decide stuff. But here's the good news. I've been reading and not reading books on history. I mean, I've been reading history, the letters, the real thing. The words these people wrote in their own hand while the fires were still burning. And I have to tell you, the more I read, the more I keep landing on one sentence, I think I said six times on yesterday's program. And I'm going to keep saying it until I think it's etched into the walls of my studio. We have been here before. We have been here before, not something like this, but this. And I wouldn't have believed it before. The exact shape of the things that are scaring us the most already have a date on it. Give me an example. 1798, summer. Country is 22 years old, younger than a lot of people that are listening. And it's coming apart. It's coming apart. There's a war on France, undeclared, ships burning at sea, debt from the revolution is crushing. No one can find a bottom to it. Our dollars worth nothing. People movement, born of the French Revolution, same terror now marching people to the guillotine by the cart load, the great grandfather of every collectivist creed that is frightened free people since has admirers here who want to trade the American experiment for that. And they're like, you know what? They're doing in France is the right thing. You're like, wait, wait, wait. And then the party in power is about to answer all of it by making it a crime to criticize the government. And the guy in power is John Adams. And within weeks, editors are going to be sitting in jail for what they printed. And the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson is cracking under the straight. They're good friends. And people are saying out loud, it's not going to last the year. The union's not going to last the year. And John Adams and Jefferson break up, they don't talk to each other. Does any of this sound familiar? That's why I say. Not like this, it is this. Now John Taylor comes into the scene. He's from Virginia. He writes to a friend and says, it's finished. The state should just split apart and be done with it all. Does that sound familiar? I'm tired. We should just divvy up the state. We should go our own ways. The friend writes him back. The friend is Thomas Jefferson. Two years before he's president. He puts down on the page in his own hand at the blackest hour. And I want to quote this, "A little patience and we shall see the reign of witches pass over. Their spells dissolve and the people recovering true sight restore the government to its true principles." And in the same breath, he names two of our fears right back at us. He writes, "The horror of war and the long oppressions of the enormous public debt, war and debt. Two words that we're dealing with right now at those proportions in 1798." And you know what? He was right. Well, everybody said this thing is over. The reign of witches passed. And it wasn't because a strong man wrote in and fixed it. Not because our side finally crushed the other side. We'll make them pay. It passed because a little patience turned into a lot of ordinary people showing up two years later and voting. And this brand new kind of nation handed power peacefully from one bitter rival to the man who wanted his job. And the losers just went home. Jefferson called it the revolution of 1800. Not a shot was fired. The men swore the fever would never break. Now I'm telling you this because it's not a comfort. Comfort is a blanket. This is a map. And that's why I talked to you about history so much lately because it's a map. The story doesn't just say don't panic. Here's a blanket. It tells you what worked. Patients over panic. Voting over getting into the streets and revolution. The ballot over the barricade, recovering our true sight, remembering what the thing was built to do instead of throwing it all out. Every time we've stood where we're standing now, the way out was never the loud thing. It was people who knew their own history well enough to stop being afraid, doing the quiet, stubborn, unused, worthy work of governing themselves. That's it. And just a nice little bow on this package, the two friends who bond cracked that year, Adams and Jefferson. They didn't speak for over a decade. But they finally found their way back. They wrote to each other letters. For 14 years, they died on the very same day, the 4th of July 1826, 50 years to the day the declaration of independence was signed, something they did together. The thing that broke over politics was mended before the end. That happens too. It's in the record if you go looking. So here's what I'm asking. We're going to look at a lot of crazy stuff today. A lot. Don't turn it off. Turn towards history. I think I found the white pill. In fact, I feel like I found a whole jar of white pills. And it's just this, know our own history and the fear loses its grip because you realize, wait a minute, we've been here before. At some point, we've been here before and there is a path. And other Americans have already walked that path. So I invite you today to come find those stories with me. Let's look at the world. Let's laugh at the world every day. And you know what, bring a friend who's more tired than you are. And we'll dig up the moment in the past that rhymes with whatever is scaring us right now and we'll pull out the answer together because the answer is almost already in history. We're not the first generation to think the lights were going out. We're just the first one who gets to know exactly how the last ones turned them back on. We've been here before. Come learn it with me. And I promise you, you will not be afraid of the news again. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor and then we'll buckle up because I got some Tauriko, Texas to talk to you about. First, real estate agents, when it comes to buying and selling homes, nobody wants to think about the price of a bad decision if you end up making one. You end up paying too much, missing a problem during the inspection, choosing the wrong buyer, losing the home you already really wanted because negotiations didn't go the way they should have. These are the things that can follow you for a long time. That's why I started real estate agents, I trust.com. I wanted to connect you with people who don't just open doors and hand you a brochure. I wanted the agents who know their local markets, who understand the negotiation, who communicate well, who have proven that they put their clients first and we check these people six ways to Sunday and it's an ongoing thing. We check them over and over and over again. When your life is on the line, you know, with something like the biggest financial decision you'll ever make, you want somebody that can help you. I want you to help you avoid making a bad decision. Please check out real estate agents, I trust.com. We'll show you how you can buy or sell a home even in this tough market. The same name says it all. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. 10 seconds, station ID. you know it's funny L. C. E. D. Um, he has come out and he said, you know, it's funny to me to assume Michigan votes for moderates when it voted twice for Trump. Nobody gets it. Do you know where I'm going on that? Nobody gets it. It's funny to me that people want to say that this state votes for moderates when it voted for Donald Trump twice. I'm gonna say something that nobody has said before. At least that I at least that I have heard I'm sure somebody has, but it's true. Trump was the moderate. What? He's crazy. Now he was the moderate. How do I know that? Because Blue Dog Democrats voted for him and so did Republicans. Donald Trump has always been perceived, not necessarily now, but it has always been perceived as the working class guy. The guy who just they mocked him. He's like the guy who's sitting down at the bar at the end of the bar and saying all the crazy things that, you know, your uncle says that nobody wants to hear. No, he was saying all the things that everybody was like, finally, somebody is saying that. Yeah. Men and women sports. No, I don't think so. You know, have kids listen to the school and keep it from their parents and then the school can have them shipped off to a hospital and have their their private's rearranged. That's insanity. When do we get to a point with, you know, transgender story hour? When do we get to the point where all white people are bad or all black people are bad or all Chinese people are whatever. When did we get there? Donald Trump was the moderate. He was the one that's like you shouldn't have to pay that much for gasoline. You shouldn't for climate change that we can't really put our finger on. That doesn't make sense to me at all. He was the moderate. So, El Sayed, you're going to win today, I think. But it'll be interesting to see in the general. All right, let me tell you about my pay treat supply. There is no such thing as a time machine. Damn it. But long term food storage does come pretty close. Think about it. You're you're taking food that is available today. You're packing away. You're sending it possibly years into the future to a version of you and your family that, you know, need it's far more than you do right now. That's what it is. It's time machine. Really kind of boring and disappointing one. But a time machine, nevertheless. Maybe there's a storm, power grade goes down. Maybe prices have gone through the roof. Supply chain is once again discovered, you know, a brand new way to fall apart. Maybe we're all starting to worry that we're going to have to speak Chinese. I mean, who knows the food you set aside today will already be there waiting for you. So I've worked with my pay treat supply for so long. Their emergency food kits are built long term storage, easy to prepare, designed to give your family substantial daily calories. And they're offering their best selling four week emergency food supply by one, get one 50% off by one, get one 50% off. It's incredible. Here's where I want you to go. Go right now to preparewiklenn.com. That's preparewiklenn.com. Don't just read history, experience it with the American story series at glennbeck.com/torch. Hey, I tell you, I just, I absolutely love politics. When you can see past all the bull crap, it is so hysterical. It only gets frustrating when your friends are like, you know, I think he's really changed. You're like, wait, wait, what? Talking about James Tallerico, he is, he is now surging. He's one point ahead of Ken Paxton. This could be very bad for Texas. I don't think that's what's going to happen, but it depends on if Texans come out and they see past this. Let me give you a couple of tweets. Tallerico suddenly discovered barbecue oil and gas and Texas independence. The second he needed Republican votes. Funny how the guy who said God's non-binary, praise Texas drag queens and ran a non-meat campaign is now trying to cosplay as a regular old Texan conservative. The mask is slipping Texas sees through it. Here's another one. Progressive seminary student who thinks Jesus was a radical feminist and God is non-binary. I'm just Tallerico. I'm just a regular eighth generation Texan who loves the oil industry and wants to work with conservatives. You can out Texas actual Texans by putting on a costume for five months. We remember the real record. The Tallerico, Tallerico pivot is something else. He and he is. He's the patron saint of the pivot, which brings me to a little ditty I put together from the makers of the ballast rhino. Comes Tallerico, Texas. My daddy read the good book and my truck's a Chevrolet. I've been couldn't Texas since I woke up yesterday. I'm just a good old boy apostrophe and all. Took the G off for working and I hung it on the wall. Got a flag out on the porch and a flag up on the shed and a third one that I salute before I go to bed. He's all Texan. We're red, white, blue, illusion rides a purple party flame. I'm the son of every slogan. All the tailgate in this town, sing it bigger, sing it louder. Boys, we ain't backing down. I filmed a little something out in Los Angeles. When he Texas voters in an old milk court to Deito, I told him God ain't he or she might be a they of them. Then I hollered Friday nightlights boys and bolted for the van. That's a van, not a truck, but it's a real big van. And on a Texas kind of highway, well a van's a kind of man. It's Tallerico, Texas, where the brisket's made of pees, where we honor all our soldiers and we identify as trees. I love my cow, my dog, my truck, my whiskey and my lord. Just don't go asking what I said in 2024. It's Tallerico, Texas, great and quiet to the sky. Let the steel get in the tarp, we pull, while the fire parks all fly. I'm a patron saint with a pit, bless this long star, I'll abide. And it gets me in the mirror, working on that country twang. Just know this draws, bongy boys. It's been a mesum spring. It has been, that troll has been there since spring. So don't question it. Tallerico, Texas, from the Glenback program. All right, we're going to take a quick break and I want to come back and I want to talk to you because the country demands it. The country demands that I talk about sports. So I'm going to give the country what they're begging for next. First, let me tell you about American financing. Your mortgage may be the only thing in your house. It still thinks it's the year you bought it because everything else has changed since then. The furniture has moved, the kids have grown, maybe you've replaced the roof, remodeled the kitchen or watched the value of your home increase. But that loan is still sitting there, preserved in amber. operating under the same terms you agreed on years ago. Now maybe those terms still make sense, but have you checked? Talk to American financing. They'll look at your current mortgage, they'll look at your financial goals and the equity that you have built, and they'll help you understand whether a re-fi or another home loan option could improve your situation. You can do this without resetting your low mortgage rate. It's amazing. Lower your monthly payment. You could consolidate high interest debt. Maybe the best move is to leave everything alone, but the point is to know. There are no upfront fees to find out what you qualify for, just talk to a salary consultant right now. They're salary-based, so they're not making money if they sell you crap that you don't need. Call 800-906-240-800-906-240. It's American-financing.net. NMLS-1-A-2-3-3-4. NMLS-consumer-access.org. APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.79-9% for Wauq-Wallified Barwers. Call 800-906-240 for details about credit costs and terms. Your fees full of noise. Your towns full of folks who help you move a fridge. Don't lose touch. Glenn Beck will be back after this. [MUSIC] So everybody's been talking about Sophie Cunningham for all kinds of different reasons. She has expressed support of keeping biological men out of women's sports. And here's what she said, I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trends. I'm like, I never once said that. I think I'm here to extend love, but I also think that love is truth and being honest. And I want to protect young girls in the locker room or young girls in the sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men. I've said what I said, I think it's common sense, and I think it'll, I always believe in that. I think it's important to protect children. I don't dislike anyone. I'm there to love, but I'm also there to love biological women. Really, really brave. Now nobody is backing her up. Nobody. And I don't know a thing about sports. Not a single solitary thing. I couldn't name three current NFL quarterbacks if you held a gun to my head and promised me a lifetime supply of those little plastic trophy thingies that they hang out at participation Olympics. And as for the things that people insist on calling sports, pickleball, competitive acts throwing, synchronized coughing, I'm even more lost on all of that stuff. So of course my producers and their infinite wisdom decided, this is the time, Glenn, you really need to talk about sports, specifically women sports, okay? And the women on my staff, Michaela, cornered me and she, they were like, Glenn, you have to say something. You have to say something. And then the producers who knew better Jason, egg them on, grinning like, you know, they just discovered fire, you know, knowing what they know about me. And they're like, yeah, Glenn, you got to talk sports tomorrow. Okay, so fine. I worked on it last night. And here's what I've come up with. My entire hard earned deeply researched opinion on the subject of men and women sports. Why? That's it. Why? Why would a man full grown X Y testosterone, so shoulder broader than a door frame man want to compete in women sports? I get the temptation. I do Lord knows if somebody had offered me a chance back when I was a soft, under coordinated kid who couldn't throw a ball without endangering nearby livestock. I'm not considered it for about 12 seconds because competing against actual men, not happening, competing against boys who would become men in 20 years, still not happening. But then the 12 seconds would end and the still functioning part of my brain would whisper, Glenn, that's really pathetic, really pathetic. And it would be, okay, we're not supposed to notice the size difference. We're not supposed to notice the strength difference. We're not supposed to notice the muscle bone density, the lung capacity, the simple brutal physics of all of it. We're required to look at a 6 to 210 pound biological male lined up against a 5, 7 woman and pretend our eyes are lying and the organ behind them. The one that used to be called the brain must remain silent. That's insanity. That's not fairness. That's not inclusion. That is a slow, smiling destruction of every woman who has trained her entire life for a medal that might as well be spray painted plastic now because let's be honest. Who's even watching these events? The stands are emptier than a politician's promise. So you go girl, as they say, you go girl. You can do anything a man can do, except compete evenly in sports. And that doesn't make you less. It doesn't make him more. It just makes him a him, not a her, not a them, not a they, a him. And the second we stop being allowed to say that out loud, sports stops being sports and becomes a costume party with participant with participation, participation ribbons. That's it. Let me ask you this. The WNWNBA, I know nothing, but the WNWNBA, it does stand for women, right? I mean, it's like we're standing around and everybody's like, do you understand how the flux capacitor works? No, we don't have to figure that out. And now no teammates are going to stand up for Sophie because she says I don't think women men and women sports is safe. And even the coach won't weigh in, but the weasel coach is worried about her job. Her being replaced by a man, cowards, cowards. And I know nothing about sports, good news. This isn't about sports. You know, I know less about things that people pretend are about sports. But I know when something is being stolen in broad daylight while the referees clap along. So to the women fighting to keep their own categories, I see you. I know it doesn't mean much. I'm with you. And I'm sorry, the adults in the room have decided that your hard work is less important than somebody else's feelings. And if I'm producers, Jason, who thought it would be adorable or funny to make the sport illiterate host talk about sports and weigh in on this. Congratulations. You got your monologue. Now go stand in the corner and think about what you've done while I think about about six specials that I need you to finish by Friday. By the way, there is an article written by Michaela, who also I find out knows nothing about sports. She's written an article at Glenback.com all about this, the WNBA's war on Sophie Cunningham. And it could leave girls paying a very high price. You'll find that article at Glenback.com. I got to tell you and reading reading up on this yesterday, the coach, Cheryl Reeves, who wore a shirt with the message trans kids belong. I mean, you know, I think about her. She was on an interview on the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain. And she was talking about how she fears that men were going to take women's coaching jobs. You know, we had more women coaching college basketball before Title IX. After Title IX, it became more important and more, more of an investment that was code for, well, that's a man's job. You get paid more. It becomes a man's job. To this day, we still don't have more women coaching in college basketball than we do men apply that same thing two years ago. We lost seven WNBA coaches. They got fired because of the sudden, this is money. The WNBA blew up. Valuation. The franchises comes to here comes the NBA folks again. I had to cast aside for many years. Now they want their franchises back. That sort of thing. It's more important. And so we have to have more men coaching. So she's worried about men taking her coaching job, but not worried about the players who are worried about men taking their playing job. How did how do these people not see? Honestly, it's an honest question. How do these people not see the the contradiction in their thinking? In consistencies drive me out of my mind. I believe that men should be able to be men and change over to women and then say they're a woman and take that job. Well, how are you going to feel, Cheryl? If a man decides he's a woman and then takes your job as a coach, how are you going to feel about that man? You're still going to be saying, you know, I really, I'm open to all this. You lose your job. I guarantee you, Cheryl Reeve, when this happens to you and part of me really hope it's hopes it does. When this happens to you, I want to see you championing that man. You know what? That was good that that man took my job because he's a woman now and it's just another woman. You're not going to say that. You're not going to feel that. You may say that because you're going to be so, you're such a coward now that that's not going to change because because courage is a muscle. And if you just let it atrophy, you're going to be so weak when it comes time, when your, when your job is at stake, when you're at stake, when something you believe in is at stake, you're going to, Your muscles are gonna be so atrophied, there's no way you can stand. And so you will live your rest of your life in cowardice. Well, that sounds pretty judgmental. Yeah, yeah, it is. I mean, I'm not judging her eternal soul. She's probably going to hell, but I'm not, I'm not judging her eternal soul. You know, that's not my job, that's his, that's his job. Not their job, not they them, not her, it's his job to, to judge. I'm just saying, I'm looking at the decisions you're making. And I, I've still required to have some judgment. It's a gift from God and a requirement. It's a responsibility that we all have discernment. And so we use that discernment to judge. That one's right, that one's wrong. And then we also pray for the grace to be able to accept when we're wrong. But I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong. It's cowardice that is making all of, you're allowing this woman to be bullied. She's saying it with love, she's saying it with something that you can actually back up scientifically. You can't back up the other side scientifically. You just can't, period. But if you disagree, it would be good to say, you know, Sophie's got a really good point. I disagree with her, but she has a good point. She has her right to express it. But you won't, because you're a coward. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question. How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America? The answer is probably going to surprise you. More than 85% of the grass fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America. That's not good. One of the reasons I like good ranchers is because of that number. They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door. No imported mystery meat, just high quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here. I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

Well, I'm gonna show you L. Syed's friends. He's the guy who's most likely gonna win the primary for the Democrats. He is definitely not a socialist. He'll tell you, "DSA, I don't even know who they are and they are wrong, by the way. I've never heard of them, but they are wrong." And he's definitely not a socialist. He's a big capitalist, you know. Big, big, big capitalist. And he loves America, except he'd like to change this Supreme Court and some of the other things that are fundamental to our system. But show me your friends and I'll show you your future. And let me show you the past and I'll show you your future. We go there here in just 60 seconds. First chapter, let me paint you a picture. You're sitting at the kitchen table. There's a stack of Medicare papers and I'm talking a toll stack. There are all plans with letters, plans with numbers, plans that all seem to promise you the same thing until you read the fine print. So you do with what most people do, you just pick one. You put the papers in a drawer, you tell yourself, "Well, I hope I got that one right." The year goes by, your health changes, your medications change, your plans change, but the drawer stays closed. That's why I like chapter. Their advisors take time to look at your specific situation, compare all the plans from the insurers across the country and help you find the option that actually fits your needs. They're not paid to push one particular plan so their job is to help you make the right decision, even if that decision is to stay exactly where you are. They compare every single medical plan nationwide and they save people in this audience an average of $1,100 a year in healthcare savings. "That's more than what Obama said, "Obama care would save and that didn't work out." This does and the call is completely free. It takes about 20 minutes style, pound 250, say the key word chapter. It's pound 250, key word chapter. (audience laughs) You know, my mom had a saying, a line that she would use on me when I was about 16 and run around with kids that she didn't necessarily care for. Son, show me your friends and I'll show you your future. And I thought it was unfair then, but I have to tell you, I think I've come to think of it as the single most reliable political instrument I own. And it doesn't need a poster. Show me your friends and I'll show you your future. Michigan votes today, barring something nobody sees coming. Abdul El-Saheed wins the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. Not by a hair, the final Emerson survey had him up 15 points. The prediction markets have him at 97 cents on the dollar. Mallory McMarrow got out in July, mainly because his name is stupid. Haley Stevens has the governor and the retiring senator and something north of $60 million in outside money behind her. More than 30 million of it from a single Israel aligned group. The most that group has ever spent on one race and she's gonna lose because you cannot buy an election. Oh, Israel's so powerful. Aren't they, aren't they, they got money in the election? Why aren't they winning this one? The more people try to, in the Democratic party, try to make it so he cannot win the stronger he becomes. So let's look at the man who's about to win and let's do it honestly. He's not a lightweight biology and political science at Michigan, Rhodes Scholar, the doctorate at Oxford, medical degree from Columbia. Oh, he's gonna be great. He's gonna be great, especially when it comes to things like, you know, pandemics. Detroit's health commissioner in his early 30s, then health director for Wayne County. He ran for governor in 2018. He lost. He came back. He's a physician who has actually run public health departments during the years when he was running a public health department. You know, when, when he was doing it, it was nobody's idea of a good time. And he'll tell you plainly, I am not a socialist. His words. I'm not a, I do not believe I'm a socialist. I believe in capitalism. He told the Wall Street Journal. He's definitely not DSA. Okay, fine, take him in his word. Let's take him in his word through all the way through this. Except my mother's voice. Okay, maybe he's not a socialist. But let's look at his friends and let's see his future. Bernie Sanders endorsed him and flew out to Detroit, lancing in grand rapids for him. Okay, he is a socialist. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cut an ad for him. She is every single member of the squad endorsed him. Khalib Omar Presley, summer Lee Ramirez, all of them. Between 2017 and 2020, he spoke at six democratic socialist of America events. So he hangs out with him an awful lot. He headlined one of them, a fundraiser that raised $10,000 for the organization. So I'm guessing that his headline speech, his keynote, wasn't like, you guys are wrong. A Detroit chapter introduced him as a longtime friend. Show me your friends. In April, he took his campaign to two Michigan campuses with another friend, Hassan Piker. You probably know the name by now. The Twitch streamer who said in 2019 that America deserved 9/11, who got suspended for it, then called it satire afterwards. But all of his action show, it wasn't satire. Michigan State President Board of Trustees put out a statement before the event was held saying that comments attributed to the speaker, the university had not invited. We're causing pain among Jewish students. The state news interviewed 13 students in the crowd. Most of them said they came for Piker. L. Syed embraced him on stage and joked about the whole controversy. Then last night, the final hours of the Senate campaign, the hours of candidate spends where he most wants to be. He spent a content creator pool party his time there in Detroit. Baker was there. an ambush by on any of this. And that's what I want you to hear. Nobody tricked him. You know, he was asked about it directly and he defended it and his defense is a real one. So let me give it to you. If you're serious about reaching people who have quit on politics entirely, you have to go where those people actually are and those people, young men under 30, the demographic, every consultant in both parties says is unreachable or untwitch. And they're not at a rotary lunge. A campaign that only speaks in rooms where everybody already greases in a campaign. It's a support group. And you know what? He's right about that. He's also right about $60 million of outside money landing on your own heads makes your money out of politics message sounds less like a slogan and more like a receipt. He's right. So he's not stupid. He's maybe not even lying to you. Here's the problem. The label was never the thing. The room is the thing. A man's convictions tell you what he intends. His friends tell you what he'll be able to do, what he's willing to do, which brings me to we've been here before 1948. A man I bet 10 bucks. Most people have never thought about even once. Maybe never even heard of Henry Wallace. This was Franklin Roosevelt's vice president third term before that he was a secretary of agriculture before that he was a plant scientist to develop hybrid seed corn and quietly did more to feed human race and most people who have won medals for it. Decent man, brilliant guy dropped from the ticket in 1944 fired from the cabinet in 46 for saying we should get along with the Soviets. What a surprise. By 1948 he had had enough of Harry Truman and he ran for president himself on a brand new third party. So when people asked Henry Wallace what he was, he said, I'm a progressive capitalist. I'll say I'm a progressive capitalist and he rejected the other word flatly, communist socialist. Nope. Then the Communist Party of the United States endorsed him. He didn't turn it down. Is any of this sound familiar? He didn't go looking for it either. Understand he didn't look for it. But when it arrived, he took the view that if a man wants peace, you don't ask him for his papers at the door. So they came in. They organized. They filled halls. They filled seats on committees. They wrote language, you know, into a platform. And it worked for a while. Late in 1947, polls had Wallace over 20% of the American electorate. By July, 48, his convention finished up at Shive Park in Philadelphia, big league baseball park, 32,000 people in the stands to hear him accept election night. You know how she got 2.4% fourth place behind the segregationalists. Now here's a, that's the part that people know. Here's the part that people don't know. Four years later, September 1952, Henry Wallace published an essay called Where I Was Wrong. Okay. He wrote that the biggest mistake had been failing to denounce the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in February of 1948. Five months before the ballpark. He wrote that he had not accounted for the ruthlessness of the Moscow train men. He called Russian communism utterly evil. But by the time he wrote it, the party he had founded was no longer his. He'd walked away in 1950. The people who came in the door because they wanted peace were still there still holding the gabbal and they ran their own ticket in 52. They got 140,000 votes. And then the whole thing just fell apart. The friends didn't cost Henry Wallace an election. The friends kept building. He was the frontman. He was the name on the sign. He was the, he was sincere every day of it. He was the last man in the country to figure out what the hell he was a part of. It took him four years in a war in Korea to see what James Burnham could see from his magazine office in 1948. Now, let me be exact about what this rule is and what it's not because it gets abused. It's not whether a man's parent came from one place or another. It's not about his name. It's not about how he prays. That's the opposite of the rule. That's judging a man by the things he never chose. I don't want part of that. And neither should you. The rule is only about choices. Who you call? Who you stand next to on stage on purpose? Who's crowd you borrow? Because that's the crowd that shows up. Every one of those is a decision a grown man makes with his eyes wide open. And every one of them is on the record. He made his today Michigan makes theirs. If I'm honest, my mother's line was never really aimed at politicians. She was aiming it at me in a driveway about a couple of guys with a motorcycle. Okay. She wasn't telling me those boys were evil. She was telling me that a person becomes the room he keeps walking into. And that he always, always is the last one to notice. So ask it about the man on your ballot today. This is not going to change a single vote. But let's see if how things play out in the general. Because people need to see the friends you're surrounded by and then do the hard thing and ask it about yourself. Because my mom was right. And I'll show you your future. Good luck Michigan. All right. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about relief factor. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been attacked by a ninja while a grizzly bear was mulling you at the exact same moment of freight train ran you over? It happened. Well, it never happens. But if you live with frequent pain, you're probably thinking, yeah, that sounds kind of like that's about right. That's the thing about pain. It makes everything harder. Getting out of bed, walking up the stairs, carrying the groceries, you know, even sitting still can hear, but can hurt. I know that I know what that's like. I still have pain that is from my back nerve pain that's just like so bad. And it flares up from time to time. I was walking down the stairs today. I had a bowl of cereal with me. And I thought, if my back sees us up right now, I am going to fall face first with this stupid bowl of cereal and I'm going to have milk all over me and all over my face. And then I'm going to be super pissed and in pain. I don't like it. Relief factor has been there for me. It has made my pain so much better. My nerve pain, it has not really touched. But all the other pain, I had pain so bad in my hands that I couldn't hold a pencil. That's gone. Like gone. Never a day with that. So if you're dealing with an ninja, the bear on the train every single day, maybe it's time to see, I mean, what it can do for you. I didn't think it would work for me. It worked miracles for me. Get three weeks for just 1776. Just go to relief factor.com, call 800 for relief, 804 relief. That's relief factor.com 800, the number four relief 10 seconds station 90. So do you actually own what you think you own? Because almost everything you have now lives on somebody else's servers. All of your books, your newspapers, your photographs, your court records, your kids textbooks, your own family photos. They're on somebody else's servers. So what happens if someone or something decides that one of those digital assets should no longer be available in its current form for you? Tomorrow, I'm going to do a special after show program. I'm going to do a special hour and unpack this dystopian reality that we are already living in and nobody knows it. 1984 is right now and it doesn't take an army of people to do it. It is remarkable what's happening. And once you're aware of it, your eyes will open and you will change things you do in your life. You will start paying attention to things. You will start living in a different way. You will and it'll be a good thing. But you need to know. And so tomorrow, 1984 is now right after this program. It'll be for insiders only, the chalkboard and everything else. It's something that you need to know and need to understand and something we've been dealing with, off and on in the news for the last two months. And I'm tying all of it together. So you will understand what's headed our way quickly. Be somebody, you know, when you watch the news, people get frustrated because they watch the news and they're like, when did this happen? What is this? This is new. It's been building for a very long time. And if you can see over the horizon, you can see what's coming your way. You don't panic. You don't freak out and you can help others not freak out because you already know tomorrow's news today on this program. And we're going to do that tomorrow, right after the program. at noon Eastern time, you have to be an insider. So join at glenbeck.com/torch. Glenbeck.com/torch becoming an insider, a torch insider now, all kinds of things that are available, including the new lesson and plan for amendment number nine. Amendment number nine is really, it's so great. Amendment nine may be my favorite. And our founders were so brilliant, you know, they put the bill of rights together, which basically says, no matter what anybody says, no matter what you're going to think in 20 years or 200 years, government does not have the right to do these things. You will never, ever, ever do these things. It's really, it's the law for the government. It's the handcuffs on our government. And the government and everybody else in that wants power encourages us to forget about the bill of rights, but it's the one thing that sets America apart. Nobody other, no other nation has this. And amendment nine is, okay, we've got down all of these rights. And then one of our founders was so brilliant, they were like, you know what? Let's write down that these aren't the only rights. Let's make sure that just because we didn't list them here, doesn't mean that the people don't have other rights that the government can't ever touch. That's what amendment nine means. You know, it's like your parents gave you a toolbox and they point out the hammer and the screwdriver and the wrench just because they didn't mention the pliers. Doesn't mean the pliers aren't in the toolbox. The pliers are in the toolbox and they're yours. Your parents give them to you. So you can use them and nobody else can touch them unless you want to lend them out, but you demand them back, okay? So ninth amendment says there are other rights in the toolbox, besides the ones specifically listed. This right now we are having a debate and especially with socialists, that healthcare is a right. No, when amendment nine makes it very, very clear. No, that's, that's not a right. That's not a right. Why isn't it a right? If I have time today, let me see if I have time. Yeah, I think I'm doing it. Yeah, I'm doing it, I think next hour. Am I doing it next? I'm just saying, I'm sorry, I just got a little, yeah, I think I'm actually doing it. I'll do it next. I'll go into amendment nine and how to win that argument, because right now we're having an argument that parents don't have rights. There's no such thing. Parents belong to all of us, all of society. No, they don't. I mean, children, children don't belong to all society. They belong to their parents and parents have rights. Amendment nine. Well, we need the right to healthcare. Well, no, amendment nine, you don't have that right. What? How? I'll explain it coming up in just a second. And this is all in the lesson plan and you're going to be able to get it including a song, a snappy little number. That is really a pop hit about, you know, amendment number nine. And I wrote these so your kids will, you can play them for your kids. You can give them to your grandkids or you can give them to neighbor kids, whoever, anybody, and share them. And the idea is, I learned this from schoolhouse rock, conjunction, junction, what's your function? I know how a bill, I know how bill becomes law because of those songs. And so I wrote a song for each of the 10 amendments that will just drill into your kids' heads and they'll be able to sing along with it. And if they like them, they'll listen to them over and over and over again. And they'll know all the amendments, things that we didn't know. You must know the bill of rights. So how do we argue that healthcare is not a right? How do we argue that no kids don't belong to everybody? They belong to the parents. How do we argue that with the ninth amendment? We'll go there and just a minute. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency. You know, there's something noble about building a business.

We have been doing these songs and these lesson plans for you and your kids. Or your grandkids or whomever you have in your life, maybe even you. Honestly, our staff has learned so much just by going over these and using the lesson plans themselves and preparing them from you for you. It's the best thing about being a teacher. The best teachers are learning themselves and then they're excited to share it. And we're so excited to share all these. We're up to the second to the last one. Number nine. In case you don't know what number nine is, well, here, can we play the song? Play the song. This is what amendment number nine does. Just because it's not written down doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Okay. Now remember, this is, this is to tell the people what, sorry, this is to tell the government what rights the people have that you're never allowed to touch. Okay. You're never allowed to touch the guns of the people. They have a right to those and it's not to be in front. You have a right to free speech. You have a right to all of these things. And these are shields against interference. They are not vouchers that you turn, turn in so you can speak so you can have a gun. They're not vouchers. They're shields. That's really important. There's a difference between a shield and a voucher or a claim check. Okay. Imagine you have the right to free speech. What you do, that means the government cannot gag you. Cannot jail you for criticizing the government or force you to mouth its slogans. But that's what's been happening lately. You have to go along and the government isn't passing laws because they know it would immediately be overturned. So what they've done is they've gotten into bed with public private partnerships with media companies. And they've put pressure on people. Hey, don't say anything about the 100 Biden laptop because of XYZ and they go along with it. Okay. They they can't. They can't compel you to do things. However, just because you have a right to free press doesn't mean the government has to buy you a printing press or give you free air time on any network or compel a private newspaper to publish your op-ed. That's on you. It's a shield, not a voucher. The moment speech becomes claim on other people's resources. Let's just carefully because this is it. Once it becomes a claim on other people's resources, it stops becoming a right and it becomes a forced transfer. Healthcare and housing works exactly the same way. A right to free housing would mean the government can take the carpenters time, the landlords building, the taxpayers wages and deliver them to somebody else. That's not a retained right. What is that? That's a political dis a political decision to redistribute wealth. The ninth amendment was never meant to constitutionalize redistribution. Let's talk about parental rights here for a second because these are the things that we're talking about free housing, free healthcare. You don't have a right to that because that forces the government to do something to other people. Now let's look. it. It takes a village. We should all, you know, we should all have, you know, we should all parent each other's kids. There is no such thing as parental rights. Parents have a deep, pre-political right to raise their own children, to decide their education, their moral formation, their medical care within obvious limits and of abuse and things like that. Courts have recognized us for a century, plus because it's the kind of right that the ninth amendment protects, something that people retain and never surrender to majorities or bureaucrats. Now, let's suppose that there's 51% of the village that decides the village should raise all children and that parents can't teach certain religious or political views or the state has to seize children whose parents refuse a political curriculum or medical protocol. 51% voted for it. We set it up to the people, the people decided. No, the vote, the vote does not create a new constitutional power. The parental right still stands as a barrier. That is the point of enumerated rights retained by the people. They limit even what a democratic majority may do. Free housing doesn't have this kind of character. No one retained a right to live in somebody else's house for free. No founding era American would have recognized a claim as a natural right. This brings me to something else. I wrote this down earlier when I was thinking about this or did I? Yeah. There is, in our declaration, which you have to understand, the declaration is the precursor to this, that is the owner's manual. I'm sorry, that is the motto, that is the mission statement of our country, all men are created equal and doubt by their creator with certain inalienable rights. It's what we're going to create and then the constitution is the owner's manual. It's how to build that. You take away the mission statement and that constitution will build a lot of other things that do not resemble the declaration of independence in our mission statement. So it's vital that you have the mission statement there. In it, it talks about nature's law and nature's God that you have rights from nature's law and nature's God. And they put those in there for a reason. You have a natural right if you can observe it in nature. If it's happening in nature, then you know that's natural law. The animals are doing it. I can do it. Okay. Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. We know that animals, we know that I've seen bulls, you know, they don't care. They don't care if it's male or female. They don't care. Okay. So I have a right to that. This is a really horrible example because this is all just moral. And so, but it's it's a clear example of nature's law and nature's God. So so nature would say it's happening in nature, but nature's God has higher standards. So we first look to nature. Is it in nature? Yes. So I have a natural right. Does nature's God say no, don't do those things because of these moral conditions? So you have to weigh both of them. So when we say we're a Christian nation, Judeo-Christian nation, that's kind of what we mean. Okay. It doesn't mean church. You have to go to church or anything else. It means we look to certain Judeo-Christian principles that say no, there is a limit on these things. Okay. Abortion is another one. There is no example in nature of a lioness throwing herself down the stairs to abort her, her cub. There's no doctor. There's no lion doctor that they go to to abort. Okay. So it's not happening in nature. However, they eat their young sometimes. They abandon their young. They abandon the weakest. So don't I have a right to abandon the weakest? No. Yes, it happens with nature, nature, but it natures God says don't do that. We are better than the animals. Okay. We have more responsibility than the animals. So that's your first test. Then you get down to, is this a receipt? Am I just turning in a ticket to claim my rights? No, you have your right. So does the majority have a right to create free housing or free healthcare? No. A majority can pass a law that taxes citizens that builds public housing or subsidizes rent. That's ordinary legislation. But it can also be repealed by a later majority. So that doesn't make, it's not a right. It's not a right. It's legislation. It doesn't become a constitutional right that courts must enforce against future legislatures. And it does not override the property rights of people whose money or land might be taken. If majority vote could manufacture new constitutional rights of this kind, then the majority vote would also manufacture a right to free speech suppression or a right to confiscate firearms or a right to seize children from parents who refuse to say whatever it is, the mob says you have to say. The whole point of a written constitution with a bill of rights, including the Ninth Amendment, is that some things are placed beyond ordinary majority control. That is what keeps a country together because if it's only majority with nothing else, they will take your land. They will take what you own. They will take whatever is popular at the time. They will do. The constitution sets limits on that. So you never go too far one way or the other. The framers understood the difference between liberty and spoils. Liberty is what you keep even when the majority dislikes it. What are spoils? What are spoils? Spoils are what the majority can temporarily award itself by taking it from the minority. You think of spoils from war. You go in, you conquer a people, you take whatever they have. That's not liberty. That's spoils. Health care and housing as positive entitlements belong in the second category of spoils. Perennial authority belongs in the first. The Ninth Amendment was written to protect the first, not to constitutionalize spoils. That doesn't mean that you can't do it. You can find a way. It doesn't mean you have to be artless. The reason why we are having so many problems in this country is because we don't know who we are. We don't know what the rules are. This is like we're baseball teams that are going out and none of us know the rules. None of us know the rules. And we just look to nine guys in the crowd and we're like, can he do that? Is that all right? Well, yeah. Five of them say, yeah. Four of them say, absolutely not. Well, if we don't know the rules, we don't learn the rules. We have no desire to learn the rules. We're just like, okay, well, five of them said we could. Well, why did the force say no? What do they know that we don't know? This is our job. You know, it's talking yesterday about police officers. You know, 1828, 1828 is when London got its first police officer. Before that, it was the community. If somebody was robbing somebody, all the neighbors, if they saw something, it was their job to stop and get that person, bring them so they could go to court and then return the money to the person they stole it from. And if they saw it and could stop it and they didn't, it was on them. It was on them. They were just as bad. They were like an accomplice. They're just as bad. But as we grew bigger and bigger and bigger, we realized we don't have time to police everything. We don't have time to do that job. So we lent people in our own community the power to do that for us. Now we look at that power police officers and we're like, well, they can, I don't know what they can do. Well, can you do it? Can you do it? Is it constitutional? Can you do it? Can you go over if you were in a neighborhood? And somebody moves in and you got an HOA and everybody in the neighborhood decides, you know, that guy just moved in. You know how rich he is? Look at him. Look at the car. He drives. Look at his house. Look at the way they dress. They got money coming out of their ears. We don't have that kind of money. You know what? His HOA fee, make it four times what we're paying. Can they vote to do that? Can they vote to say, you know what? Go just take his car. Bill, I'm hiring you. You go take his car. All of us in the neighborhood say you have the right. Go take his car and then park it and Bill and Steve Scroj. No, you don't have the right. If you You don't have the right to do it. The police don't have the right to do it. If you don't have the right to do it, the government doesn't have the right to do it because they all come from you. You're loaning. Now that doesn't mean you can go and build a jail in your own house because I have a right to do that. No, no, no, no. It's kind of like nature's God and nature. There are higher ideals, there are higher things, and we have decided as a community, we are not going to personally jail. We are going to take our vote. We're going to vote in a new system. We're going to take our money and we're going to pay for that system and they're going to build jails. And so that's the way it works. You don't like it. Change people's minds and have them voted out. But it all stems on you have the right. And that's what amendment number nine actually does. It says, just because it's not written down here, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. All the people have all of the rights, all of them, and government cannot touch them. You can get this lesson plan and the songs and everything for the first nine amendments next week will be the last one. It's not too late to start. Get all of the amendments, learn about them, teach them to yourselves and others. It's a great way to learn and a fun way in America's 250. Just go to, what is it? 250 torch or summer of 250?

It feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days. I mean, you've probably heard about all of that by now or a lot of commercials.

And I think we have dismissed that. And I want to take a look at that. I'm talking about the ninth moment. Got me thinking about my mother and the things my mother used to tell me. All the common sense things that we learned as kids. We're still valid. Let me explain next. Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glend back podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big text algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share, together. We'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. I think 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers and calls and ads telling us something different about Medicare and most of it just makes things more confusing. But because this is not a small decision, it's your healthcare. You need to know you can see the right doctors. You need to get the care that you have to have and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit your life. This is where chapter comes in. They don't just hand you options. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs and they help you find a plan that actually works for you. Over the last year they have helped people in this audience save $1.5 million just by finding better fitting plans. And it's really sometimes not even about the money. I heard about a guy named Mark. Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed. He said they were absolutely spectacular. So give him a call. The call is free. They've helped thousands in my audience and they can help you too. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250. Keyword chapter. [Music] Swipe the flame. Pass it on. Crank the game. [Music] Stay with Michigan voting. I've spent a lot of time thinking about my mom saying the words, "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future." And Michigan's about to find this out. In fact, the whole country is in many ways. Hopefully we don't have to go too far down the road before we really figure it out that we don't want those friends. This was a mistake. We just thought we were all in this together because we're all mad about something and we don't want to live that lifestyle. Iran, we have called up the strikes. One of the reasons why President said yesterday is somebody is leaking. Somebody leaked our plans for this strike to Iran. We better figure that one out. Where's the honor system in that speaking of honor? Now looks like, you know, Politico was saying that our elections are safe. There's no way anybody can vote in the elections in Oswald. Now they come out and say, "Well, actually it's all built on the honor system. There is no such thing as honor anymore." And it makes me think, "My mom, my dad, my grandparents, they had the answer to all of these things." And we didn't listen. We rejected them. And now, as I get older, I'm starting to think, "That's the answer to all of our problems." I'll explain here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Z-Factor. Human beings have been around for a very long time and in that time we built cities. We've crossed oceans. We've learned to fly. We've split the atom. We walked on the moon. We carry more computing in our pocket right now than entire governments used to have. And yet somehow we've managed to create a world where millions of people can't get a good night's sleep. Strikes you as odd a little bit. All of that technology, all of our progress, and we've made one of the most basic things the human body needs, harder to do. So I'm a factor of, that's why I'm a fan of a Z-Factor, from Relief Factor. It's designed to help you get the kind of deep, rassful sleep that your body was made for. Sometimes the answer for a modern problem is helping your body do something it's known to do since the very beginning. Give Z-Factor a try right now. Save 46% on your first order. 1995 30-day supply.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, there is still a screen door, especially at this time of year, that slams at the front door, wood frame, spring on hinges, pap. And it's right around dusk, and the street lights have come on. And somewhere down the block, there's a mom standing on a porch with a dish towel in her hand, calling a name into the dark. That was the clock. Nobody had a phone, we all just knew. Everything a lot in the last few days about how much of what we actually use, not what I know, but what I use, didn't come from book or a class or a man on the stage with a microphone or some boo-black me. It came from people who said it's so many times. It stopped sounding like advice and started sounding like weather, you know? Shot the door, we're not paying to air-condition the whole neighborhood. Turn off the light. Money doesn't grow on trees. Because I said so. If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump true? This is the one that there was a body count on this one. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Oh my God. You've made your bed, now lie in it. Nothing good happens after midnight. Finish what you start. Wear a coat or your catch your death. Eat it. Do you know how many children would be grateful for that play? Do you know how many starving children there are in wherever? It's funny because we heard them so often that we quit hearing them at all. You know, they were background noise. They were the hum of the refrigerator. And you could have recited every single one of them at nine years old. And you also, as a nine year old, would have said, "None of these apply to me." And then you're 15 and it gets worse because now they're not just noise, they're an insult. You know, now every one of them is proof that they don't understand. Grandpa says, "Use it up, wear it out or make do or do without." And you're thinking, "They make new ones. You can get them at the store all the time." Grandpa would say, "Pretty is, is pretty does." And you're thinking, "Grandma, that's not how high school works." Your dad tells you, "Look a man in the eye, give him a firm handshake." And you think that's a costume. A small ritual thing that they do. Your mom tells you, "Right, I thank you, note." Not a text, write it out. Stamp it, put it in the mail. And you'd rather do almost anything else than that. And then you leave, you move out. And here's what nobody tells you about leaving. It doesn't feel like freedom for very long. It feels like freedom for about six weeks. And then you get the apartment with the bad carpet and the neighbor who's up at two. And you find out that all those rules you were straining against were also load bearing. And you take him out one by one. And the whole thing sags. You're 23 and you get the flat tire or the bad diagnosis for somebody that you love. Or you get fired or the person you were sure was the one is suddenly not sure about you. And you're sitting on the floor of a place that doesn't feel like home. It's one in the morning. And out of nowhere, your mother's voice comes up through the floor boards and says, "It'll look better in the morning." And you want to argue with it, but you can't. Because she was right. Damn, she was right the whole time. It actually does look better in the morning, not fixed, but better. And mom never explained the mechanism to you. She never cited a study. She just said it every time you cried. And then one night when she wasn't there, it showed up and did the job anyway. Somewhere along the way we decided that wasn't enough. It just wasn't enough. That because I said so was primitive, we needed a philosophy behind it. So we went and we got one several actually. We got the experts. And I'm not against experts. I want a real one flying my plane and cutting on my knee. But we took people who had never met our child, never sat at our table, never watched that kid at four o'clock in the morning with a fever. And we let them tell us how to raise them. We sat down all of the stuff our grandma and our mother's knew because it didn't come with footnotes. What do they know? Say please. Say thank you. Say I'm sorry and mean the second half. Do it right the first time. Leave it better than you found it. Your word is your bond. Which is the whole legal system in what five syllables? Nobody owes you anything. Hard work never killed anybody. Show up early. Go outside. You're not tired. You're bored. Every one of those is a load bearing wall. And we knocked them all out to open up the floor plan because that's what we wanted. And then one day. And this is the day. This is the one I remember. One day you're standing in your own kitchen and your own kid does something and you open your mouth and your father comes out. Word for word. Same cadence. Same pause before it. The exact same sentence you swore and everything you would never say to a child of yours. And there's that half a second where you're absolutely horrified. I've just become my father. And then there's that half second after that where you realize. My God, my dad was right. This is true. It's always been true. He wasn't being lazy. It's just the truth. He'd gotten so far down the road to know that some things don't have a longer version. It's just it. I've been thinking about phrases. The political I said earlier today, I think the best, best political advice my mom ever gave me was show me your friends. That's what the Democrats are learning right now. It's my mom. I could put that into paragraph after paragraph, monologue after my heck I have for the last 20 years been saying the same things. I should have just said that. I'll show you your future because that's where they are. I don't think our problem is is that we said those things to our kids too much. I wonder if I've barely said them at all. I think there's a whole generation that never got to finish what you start when you set it to them a million times so it isn't in the floorboards anymore because every parent isn't saying these things anymore. There's nothing coming up through the wood at one in the morning when they're in their carpet in a bad apartment. And then I think, gosh, do I even say these things to myself? I tell my kids all the time, nobody's thinking about you as much as you're thinking about you. And then I'll spend the whole afternoon convinced everybody's thinking about me. I'll tell them it's not as bad as it looks tonight. It'll be better in the morning and then I'll lie there at three o'clock in the morning like a man who's never heard of morning. I'll tell them their word is their bond. And then I break a promise that I made to myself last week. Go to bed. Close your eyes, go to sleep. Call your mother, drink some water, say you're sorry first. This too shall pass and then the other half that nobody ever quotes, which is the good part passes too, so pay attention. We knew all of this stuff by the time we were nine. And we spent so much time rejecting it. I think maybe we should consider going back to some of those things. We knew them at nine and most of us are still trying to learn it. But we want to hear it from an expert. Why? Come inside now. It's getting dark. More in a minute. (upbeat music) Not every dangerous situation is the same. Some of them are absolutely called for lethal force. And as an American, you have every right to own that kind of tool and defend yourself and your family. If your life is on the line, you bet. I'm shooting you in the head. But not every threat meets that standard. Sometimes it's an aggressive stranger who hasn't yet become a deadly one. Sometimes it's a person who's out of control, but not harmed. Sometimes you don't need to take a life. You just need to stop a threat. That's why I'm a fan of the burn and launcher. It gives you a powerful non-lethal option that can stop an attacker from up to 60 feet away using high speed chemical irritant projectiles. It's legal in all 50 states. It's now trusted by hundreds and hundreds of law enforcement agencies. It's designed for those moments when you need to protect yourself without using deadly force. Self-defense isn't just about having a tool that will get the job done. It's right. It's about having the right tool that will fit the situation you find yourself in. Most times it'll be a burn a launcher. Burn a B-Y-R-N-A.com. Find the right launcher for your family. It's burn a B-Y-R-N-A.com 10 seconds station ID. While we're here, you just can't fake it. You just can't fake it. I think what my mom would say about Taloriko. My mom, your mom, every mom would know fraud immediately. If that were a friend and he started coming around and he had no Texas accent and all of a sudden he was like, "Well, how do ma'am? How are you?" She'd be like, "What the hell is wrong with your friend?" What's Jimmy doing? I don't know, mom. He's trying to suck up to a girl that he really likes. She's from Texas and so now he's all Texan. She's like, "Tell him it won't work." Jimmy, stop it. I think that's what my mom would say because he has gone all Texan. He is now lower Texan. He's doing everything. He is sounding like a Republican. Remember, this is the guy who was like only Etofu. I only eat two. Now he's like, "Give me some more barbecue ribs. I got to have me some more ribs." Howdy y'all. It's like, where did you get the draw from, Jimmy? What was happening here? So from the makers of Thune the Ballist Rhino, which by the way, I have to say, I always say I lead with my mistakes. I have to lead. I did something about Sophie Cunningham and women's basketball and women's sports. I just have to say, I came out and said, "No man in women's sports. I was wrong. I think John Thune could play in the WNBA." I think he could. But anyway, back to Tal Rico. We made a song for good old Jimmy who's just like us. He drives a truck man. He's just out Friday night. I'm just watching me some football. Here's a little song for little Jimmy Tal Rico. I been couldn't tax it since I woke up yesterday. Took the G-Off working and I hung it on the wall. Got a flag out on the porch and a flag up on the shed. And a third one that I salute before I go to bed. It's Tal Rico, Texas where the brisket's made of peas. Where we honor all our soldiers and we identify as trees. I love my gown, my dog, my truck, my whiskey and my lord. It's Tal Rico, Texas where the stars still spell my name. Where red-white blue illusion rides a purple party flame. I'm the son of every slogan all the tailgate in this town. Sing it bigger, sing it louder, boys we ain't backin' down. I filmed a little somethin' out in Los Angeles. Twenty Texas voters in an old Mill Court de Dito. I told 'em God ain't he or she might be a thing of them. Then I hollered Friday nightlights, boys and bolted for the van. It's Tal Rico, Texas, great and quiet to the sky. Let the steel get tarmed, we pull the fire, parks all flat. And it could catch me in the mirror, working on that country of twang. Just know this draws, bone-deep boys. Is Ben and Lisa and spring all the way back. I mean, he said that draw all the way back to spring. I said, Tal Rico, Texas. So, I mean, you're a Texan, Jason, is anybody going to buy this? Is anybody going to buy this? This guy is worse than Beto. Oh, yeah, way worse than Beto. I don't think anybody in Texas is buying it at all. But I worry about just in the Tal Rico election in Paxton is literally the Corning Voters. It sounds like they are so, I don't know, spiteful or angry that they're willing to let a guy like Tal Rico win in this election, which makes no sense to me. None. Well, you know what? Let me tell you, Corning Voters, we'll sure learn our lesson. And you'll be standing over there. That won't affect you at all. And you'll be like, I told you so. But Tal is wrong with you. Bet is wrong with you. I mean, you know, it's really, really important. It every election, it gets more and more important to get out and vote. We are in the fight for our nation's life and it is only getting more clearer. These guys, I mean, you know, maybe I could understand this 2004, even 2014, not today, not today. All right, more in just a second. Let me tell you about the International Fellowship. This past week in Jerusalem, staff members from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, spent time working on a project that your generosity helps support. It's called the Chen Elderly Housing Complex. They rolled up their sleeves. They helped deliver meals to elderly residents and over 200 seniors live at the Chen complex. And many of them aren't even able to leave their rooms. The daily meal deliveries are not a convenience. They're a lifeline. One of the women they visited was Bella. She lives there all by herself. She looked at the people bringing the food and she said, I am so grateful for what you're doing. Thank you for not forgetting us. I'm so excited that you came to see me. Thank you. God bless you. These people really are in dire need. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does this. They remember. They don't just send a check. They show up. They're there. Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, at least in praying for people of Israel. For protection, peace, and strength, and for lasting peace, we can remind God's people that they are not alone. Visit prayiFCJ.org. If that's prayiFCJ.org. Don't just read history. Experience it with the American Story Series at Glendbek.com/torch. [Music] (upbeat music) - It's unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. You know, this whole grocery store thing, this is just a debacle, just a debacle. These guys have no idea what they're doing. What a surprise. Wait a minute, you mean the guy who was a blogger before and living in his mom and dad's house spying gates. And then he did, I think he did a musical video. That guy doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to building grocery store chains. What? So they've come out and they're like, okay, so how are you gonna stop fraud? I guess stop fraud. You know, not that fraud seems to concern anybody, except I think the average person. How you gonna stop fraud? Because if you're selling things at 30% cheaper, here's what's gonna happen, because it's just people, okay? If I don't have to show an ID, if I don't have to be on a list, if I don't have to prove that I need it, whatever, that I even live there, I'm gonna go into that grocery store. I'm gonna say I'm gonna be a guy who lives, you know, just down the street and I own a bodega. And I can go in without being checked or anything else. I'm gonna just go buy a, send me and my crew in, or I'll just gonna go buy up as many of those groceries as we possibly can. And then I'm gonna bring them to my bodega. And I'm gonna mark them up 25%. I'll undercut my other, you know, rivals in the supermarket business. But I'll have it, I'll make, you know, 25%. I'm saving the customer 5%. I've just taken that 25%, 25% from the city, but what, they don't care, they're not checking. So I'm just doing it, okay? There's no law against any of that. Is there, not yet, I don't think. They better make one. And how are they gonna check? Well, they're saying that they're not gonna check. Well, kind of, they're gonna check. Mombani could not even answer the question. Jason, pull in that clip you just played here a minute ago for the torch insiders. How are you gonna keep people from taking advantage of that, you know, that deal basically? And is there gonna be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket? So our RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling. I'm gonna pass it over to our EDC had G-PAC to add some additional details. Yes, if you look at our P for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be at sort of a library card, it asks it when and also we manage who's buying and that is focused on everyday New Yorkers. So we are mindful of that. And so we're gonna make sure that we have all the place, all the things in place to make sure that that does not happen. I'm sure, oh, I'm sorry, I was just why. It's like they're talking to first graders, so I thought I should get my goldfish out. Do you see my first grade food? What the hell is wrong with you? What, you're gonna put out a library card? Do you need a license or any kind of identification to get a library card? The answer, yes. My favorite library card. My favorite part, Glid, is how she just said it so fast. Yes, so it's just gonna be a library card, that's okay. But we're gonna make sure it works. Yeah, okay. So you're asking for ID. Okay, well that makes sense because you have to know, think of this concept. You have to know who's coming in, are they qualified? To buy the stuff in your store. It's a little like voting, but I don't wanna confuse it with second grade stuff. So they're gonna do a library card. Well, I don't know why they hate women so much because married women, you're not gonna be able to do it 'cause maybe you've changed your name and you don't have birth certificate or any other form of ID whatsoever that could prove who you are. So what they said, when they asked about the library card, who was it? The post asked about this? Yeah, they are post. And what did they say? So they said, oh, actually it's not gonna be like a library card. It's more gonna be like a savings card program. Like if you go to Albersons or Tom Thumb or something like that. Quick clarification there. So like a Costco card, which I have to say, which I have to sign up for, and they have to know who I am 'cause they just don't hand them out of the door. I don't have a Costco card. Oh, well here's one. They don't do it that way. Or like an Albersons card. Where you have to sign up for, I'm sorry, these goldfish are delicious. Well, we're talking in about 10 more minutes, I'm gonna roll a little carpet out. I'm gonna get a little juice box. I'm gonna take a little nappy nap. Interesting thing about this. How are these people? Yeah, they said they're not going to check residents because that was the big sticking point that they just completely flip flop to see as we started killing them on social media over this. So if you're for your savings card program, if you're not gonna check residency, why even have a card at all? Because you can come from Texas and just say, yeah, I live in New York, give me my discount card. There's no proof that you don't live in New York City. What's the even point of this? See, this is the incredible thing. They know they're being hypocrites. That's why they immediately went, we can't do a library card thing. I said, making like an Albersons card. Well, that won't really work either 'cause some, well, just let's just check, are they from New York? You know, we can't check because then again, you're too. I mean, they know they're looking hypocritical and they know it doesn't work if you don't have some system in place to make sure, otherwise, everybody will just come in from everywhere and they'll buy those 25 or 30 products that are 30% off and they'll leave and some of them will go and resell them. Some of them are gonna take the food from New Yorkers and they'll be from New Jersey and they happen to be in the city all the time. So why not stop by the grocery store? Hey, stop by the grocery store and get that 30% meat, that's 30% off. Go get that meat. I'll go do the grocery shopping for everything else. And the whole system fails. This is the, you have to be able to have some common sense. You have to have a system that works. This is why communism and socialism always fails because once you apply common sense to it and you're being held to it, well, it's gotta be a success. So, okay, well, yeah, well, we're gonna do that, just not that. Well, then what? Then how are you gonna make that happen? Well, we're gonna come up with something that's better than anything anybody has ever come up with before to check ID except we're not gonna check ID. Uh-oh. Okay. These people are just boobs. They're just boobs and again, I don't, I really don't get it. I don't understand how more people can see, you know, here's the good thing. I think people are beginning to, I think they're beginning to. And we're in the primaries now. And so who votes in the primaries? I'm because I learned this because of the Tea Party. Well, the Tea Party, they're just all electing there. What they're doing is they're going out and they're rallying around all these extremists and these extremists are never gonna win in the, you know, in the general. They're just never gonna win because people need the moderates in the general. Oh, okay. Well, you don't have any moderates, you know. Once a communist always a communist. Once a socialist that says I wanna get rid of the Senate in the Supreme Court, that kinda sticks with you, you know? Have a hard time clawing that one back. Now let's just see if Americans are still awake enough to go, yeah, that doesn't make any sense 'cause this doesn't make any sense. This just doesn't make any sense. Does it? Jason, let's quick in a few minutes that we have left. Would you quick give me an update on what the hell is happening with, who's leaking? The Pentagon is leaking. Somebody in the Pentagon, is it, what's happening? Our war plan, this was said by the president yesterday. And the president was having a press conference and he was going to say he said that what's coming next will be the biggest bombing campaign since World War II. That's pretty significant. He said it will decapitate. Well, don't use that word unless you actually are meanin' and it's gonna happen. I don't think it will, but so he said, we had to call it off because Saudi Arabia has to call it off and some of the, you know, Oman and everybody else has to call it off. Give it more time for a little bit more peace. But then I hear that 'cause he said it and also somebody leaked our plans. What, wait, what can you say that again? What happened? Yeah, the president said that he was, they were looking at just as you said, one of their largest strikes on Iran and most of the news went towards the Iranians going back to the president, supposedly calling the president and saying begging him to do a deal. So he halted those strikes. But then he also said that one of the reasons why they came to him begging for a deal is 'cause they had every single detail about these military strikes that were about to happen. So somebody leaked something and I don't think this is getting enough news because we don't know who, the president didn't go further into that. So we don't know if it's someone who's going to be there. suspected within the administration within our government military or if it's foreign if this was from one of the Gulf Kingdoms for instance like Saudi Arabia Qatar places like that Saudi Arabia has been lobbying the president not to attack and that's been all over the media lately so they're they're against us on this so whoever did this leak needs to be dealt with in some way and it goes far beyond even this there we've been hearing for you know for weeks now that um all these different sources they're saying sources say that we are critically low on air defense intercept interceptors and Reuters today said the US has used virtually all of its long range precision missiles during the Iran war how is this information getting out this should be top secret information something smells very very badly let me take a break and I want I want to ask your opinion as a service member what you think of this um senior officials at the US military command carrying out the Trump's war in Iran came in uh came in an email it said we need ideas I'm going to read this email to you and I would love your opinion on this because it sings to me but I think it also signals something to others that don't understand out of the box thinking that is not good did you read this email Jason Jason can you hear me did you read that email I I did it doesn't sound unlike how you know they it doesn't sound out of the ordinary to me it's the ordinary wow the ordinary thing sounds like that it's actually getting out let me let me read it to you and um and see what you think we'll do that in 60 seconds first most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water you turn the faucet on you fill a glass and you

situation with a ran the president has come out and or sorry a memo has been released where it says and it went out to the military we are looking for new ideas basically if anybody has any good ideas that are you know out of the box on how we can defeat a ran email is call me and I think this is really quite brilliant myself I think you know how many times have you been in a company we're like we can fix this thing we can fix this thing we all know but will they ask us nope so I don't know exactly who this email went to Jason did it go to who did it go to did it go far enough down the chain no it's just in the upper level I don't know who it went to yeah I don't have any information on that and but is this happened before are we do is this do we do this all the time this I mean I I I've never been at that level so I would assume that happens at that level but I you know kind of look back on like you know how commanders put place a lot of I guess emphasis on small unic tactics and letting the you know incoes innovate and they make a lot of you know command decisions at the at on the infantry level at the base level and they rely on the people with the experience to you know to do think that that's what makes our our military so great and I see this is just kind of like at a macro level them doing the same thing I don't think that it's out of the ordinary but if you're looking at a situation where Iran is is attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz we are doing strikes on different positions to try and stop them from doing that they're looking into from what some people have said and looking into also doing a ground or a ground block aid which is one of the proposed tactics that they might switch to you're gonna want to want lots of opinions on how to pull that off so I that's all I see on this I see them probably having already having a plan in place but just seeing if some of their other experts within all levels of the military have something more to contribute than than they're open to that that's all I see that is yeah personally I don't have a problem with it but it just see I've never read that before so it stuck out to me one last thing we don't have much time to talk about this maybe we'll get into it tomorrow Minnesota Michigan South Dakota have we now know that Iran has tried to hack into their water systems you know Iran is not a primitive society and they can hack in and apparently the federal government is said expect more they hack into our water systems that's a whole different universe that we're in right now and I don't think people really understand how dangerous this situation is and by the way Minnesota and Michigan South Dakota are these are just I guess these are just the states that either haven't updated yet or won't follow the homeland security advice to change and upgrade your system they're easy to hack and Iran is trying more on this tomorrow make us hear the Republic
