Call 800-906240 about credit costs and terms. Well, we got a lot going on today, just a ton to tell you about. You know, there's that story, there's a story that, that comes out of the Dallas, Texas area where this kid comes in. They're at a track meet, and he's a kid sitting, you know, where he's not supposed to sit. He's sitting underneath a tent where only the people who are on the track team are supposed to sit. So a member of the track team and his brother come in and they say, hey, dude, you gotta move. This is just for the track team. And he says, I'm not moving. And he's like, dude, you got, you gotta move this. This is where the track team sits. There's an exchange. All of a sudden he says, hey, you. You try to move me and you'll see what, what's happening. He pulls a knife, he stabs the kid in the chest. Just from 0 to 60. Just stabs him in the chest. He dies in his brother's arms. Okay, this is an open and shut case. This is really quite simple. Witnesses were there. Everybody knows exactly what, what's Going on. However, there is a Dallas based defund the police activist and social justice leader that is now involved with the family. And there was a press conference yesterday. And I want you to hear what this social justice leader said. And all I'm going to say so it don't be asked later, is that was disrespectful and just shows you all the character who is not invited. He knows that it's inappropriate to be near this family. Hey, stop. So what is he talking about here? What is this press conference about? I thought this press conference was to defend the kid that stabbed the other kid for no reason. Well, no, it turned in because the kid whose son had died showed up at the press conference and he's excoriated for showing up. You weren't invited. Who are you? Get out. Who are you to show up here? It is wholly inappropriate. You know, you're not supposed to be around this family. Ex. Excuse me? Ex. I'm sorry, What? Now let me tell you who this guy is. He's the guy he has been trying to, you know, rally a defense for. Carmelo Anthony. That's the teenager. He's 17 years old. He's already gotten him, you know, gotten his bail reduced by a great deal. And he said, hey, I want to. I want to sincerely thank everybody for the overwhelming support you've shown. This is just the beginning of a long legal journey, and we'll continue to stand strong in defense of his rights. He has rights. But how are you defending him just stabbing another kid when he hosted the press conference? Disrespect for the dignity. Disrespect. His dad shows up to the press conference uninvited. Uninvited. It was disrespectful and just shows all of you the character. The character of what? The character of the dad showing up.

Caller (8:07)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (8:08)

Yeah. I mean, I would think I would show up. I want my son. I want my son's killer to go to jail. I. I might show up. So it goes viral. Uh, and that's when everybody online starts to be a little detective and they find out some things about him. Uh, this guy's ex and his Facebook account reveal that he's played a PR Pivotal role in helping mobilize on behalf of Cori Bush's winning campaigns in 2020 and 2022. Bush praised Alexander and his group for their perseverance and dedication, and their commitment to this work is just unmatched. Okay. In 2021, Alexander said it was truly an honor to join Bush as she was sworn Into Congress. So she, he, this guy that held the press conference and said, that just shows the character of the dead boy's dad, chose a photo. We have a photo now of her, Cori Bush, and Alexander at her swearing in. So he attends her swearing in. This is gonna get good. Hang on. Buckle up. Uh, he said, I had the honor of seeing history in the making by seeing this beautiful black queen, Cori Bush, elected to Congress. I don't know if you know this. We don't have queens. Um, so. So anyway, he says in another post, he said, I am so proud of her as an actual frontline protester. We saw her yesterday sacrifice for millions facing eviction in America. Our movement, our congresswoman. Okay, so she's part of the standing up for the eviction of. I'm sorry, millions facing eviction. Uh, yeah, no, they were here illegally. He goes on. He does all kinds of pro Bush posts. He then says in a 2024 post, we live in a country that doesn't want to address white supremacy. Uh, he wants reparations, yada yada. So you're getting to know who he is, right? You know, he's a radical revolutionary. But wait, this time there's more. Apparently, he's also a career criminal. Uh, uh, NBC 5 here in Dallas reported that he had an arrest warrant in 2019. Arrest Warrant Affidavit stated that Alexander's longtime partner had reported to police that he had shoved her and tried to strangle her. Now, she just, she declined after she called police to file charges. Uh, because the police, they just. You can't trust the police. Oh, oh, okay. All right. Um, he also served two days in jail after pleading guilty to a felony theft case in 2021. Remember, that's just a couple years ago. After four years of this hanging over my head, I decided to avoid a jury trial in Trump County. That would have. Wouldn't have given me a fair shot at all. Okay. He was sentenced to two years in prison, also for repeatedly violating his probation. 2009, a local report details how Alexander was arrested for abusive. Sorry. Allegedly causing serious head injuries to his then girlfriend's 2 year old son while he was babysitting. So now we're getting into abuse. Babysitting, a child, two years old. He takes this kid into the hospital. He says, no, we, mom and I and the baby were on the couch and he just rolled off the couch. Uh, unfortunately, the doctor said, yeah, that's not possible. We're looking at the injuries here. Uh, and this is, this is trauma and more consistent with abusive head trauma and child physical abuse. Okay, so we got that going for us as well. Not on. Not long after he was arrested for injury to a child, causing severe bodily harm. He got into trouble for forging a check, leading police on a high speed chase, stealing a car, and then claiming that his car that was stolen was his car, and it wasn't his car, it was a stolen car. Anyway, um, so he brought a couple of character witnesses with him to trial. Didn't work out. Well, one of them had just met him and the other one didn't have any idea that he was on probation or breaking his probation. The judge is like. And you know, he, Bro. No, no, I didn't know that. He never told me that he's been in trouble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's got all kinds of other things. Like he praises Louis Farrakhan. And if you see in that press meeting, you see the guy with a bow tie, that's Louis Farrakhan's people. And so, you know, he's, he's supported the Nation of Islam despite the comments that Jews are termites. And, and you know, they're wicked termites. I mean, I don't know what kind of other termites you have. I mean, other than wicked termites. But I generally, you know, generally don't praise Louis Farrakhan and those kinds of comments, but he does. Okay, so that's what we have going on in Dallas. Notice how dark things are getting, okay? Notice what people are standing up for. They're standing up to burn down Tesla. They're standing up to defend the guy who killed the, the healthcare CEO and saying, well, it was kind of justified, really, because, you know, I'll tell you how violent things are. Violent. You know, health insurance is violence right now. So don't talk to me about violence. Okay? All right, so we have that going for us. We also have people that are refusing to speak out against any kind of violence on their side, including the burning down of Teslas, the hassling of Tesla owners, the doxing of people, and the killing of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We showed you yesterday. It's over 50%. Now, if you're on the left, even if you say you're slightly Liberal, it's over 50% of that population believes that it is fine to kill Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Okay? Last night I found another story. This is an op ed. This is one last night. When I read it, I sent it directly to Cash. Patel said FBI might want to investigate this one. Wait till I Read it to you next. In the last three years, according to the U.S. bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. dollar has lost over percent of its purchasing power. Let that sink in. Over the last three years, you have lost 16 cents on every dollar of your purchasing power. That's kind of a big slip. Meanwhile, since gold. Since 2000, gold is up over 600%. Why? Because they're correlated. When. When the dollar loses value, gold gains value. So why isn't everybody hedging with gold right now? I don't know. I think because most people think, well, I don't have enough money. You've got enough money for silver. If you have any savings, you just take 10% of that. Whatever you have. I don't care what it is I would recommend. And don't take my advice. I'm not a legal, you know, some sort of financial advisor. But I. I know I have 10% until I lost it in the lake accident with all the guns and all my food storage and everything else. But if you have any kind of savings, please. Gold. Up over 600% since 2000. And look at it now. It's over 3,000. It's like $3,300. Remember when it was just going to break 2,000? That was what, last year? Year after year before. I mean, it's been 18 months. We're now $3,300. Please, please protect what's yours. Call 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. Get your free $4,200 gold report. Call 800-957- Gold. Do it now. 10 seconds. Station ID. All right. Now I want to read something by Nicholas Decker. The. The story on substack is. When we must kill them. Evil has come to America. The present administration is engaged in barbarism. It is arbitrarily imprisoned. Its opponents revoked the visas of thousands of students, imposed taxes on us without our consent, and seeks to destroy the institution which opposes lead. Its leaders have threatened those who produce unfavorable coverage and suggested that their license be revoked. It has deprived us in many cases of trial by jury. It has subjected us to jurisdiction foreign to our constitution. And it has transported us beyond seas to be imprisoned for pretend offenses. It has scorned the orders of the courts. And it threatens to alter fundamentally our form of government. It has pardoned its thugs and extorted the lawyers who defended its opponents. Unbelievable. If these actions become normal, the government could arrest anyone and deport them to prison in foreign land without any hope of redress and for no reason. It is nothing Less than the total abdication of the rule of law in this country. There is no guard or protection against it. If this theory prevails, then it is the end of America as a free nation. Now, first of all, if you were saying this maybe four years ago, you might have some credibility. Because I can look at both sides and say, hey, you know, there's some real things that are disturbing here. But you have no credibility on this. None. And your conclusion is disturbing, even if it were all true. I do not wish for this essay to be a mere catalog of outrages. The conduct of president of this present administration is well known to you as it is by myself and can be understood by any sensible person on it. No further comment is ventured. What remains for us to decide when we fight? If the President, if the present administration wills it, it could sweep away the courts. It could sweep away democracy. It could sweep away freedom. Again, where you. Where were you four years ago? Protest is useful only insofar as it can affect action. Our words might sway the hearts of men, but not the beasts. If the present administration chooses this course, then the question of the day. The question of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron. In short, we all must now decide when we must kill them. None of us wish for war. But if the present administration wishes to destroy the nation, I would accept war rather than see it perish. I hope you would choose the same. But what to do? The rod of our present administration runs deeper than one man. The sacrifice of a hero is insufficient to save our nation. And a gust of wind on a summer day would not have saved us. For let us make no mistake. The problem is not one man, but a whole class of people. If one head is cut off, the other will take its place. Violence only makes sense as part of a coordinated strategy. This is why protests are important. Not as a way of changing the present administration's actions, but as a way to coordinate a group. There may come a time when we shall have no guarantee of freedom, but the one which we make for ourselves if it comes. I tell you, there is no greater honor than he who lays down his life for his friends. Until then, we must wait. And when is that time? Well, your threshold may differ from mine, but you have to have one. If the President administration should cancel elections, if it should engage in fraud in the electoral process, if it should suppress the speech of its opponents, jail its political adversaries, if it ignores the will of Congress, if it should directly spurn the orders of the court, all of These are reasons for revolution. It may be the best to stave off and wait for elections to throw out this scourge. But if we should threaten the ability to remove it, we shall have no choice. We will have to do the right thing. We will have to prepare ourselves to die. I hope that we should conduct ourselves first with such courage that it will be our finest hour. I expect that we shall do our duty while we wait. We must not be like sheep to the slaughter. We cannot cooperate. We must, must hide those who are persecuted. We must foil the aims of their agents. The state and local governments which we control can litigate the actions of the present administration. Their police can refuse to share information or be deputized to do the work of the evil ones. If war is politics by other means, then politics is war by other means. There can be no surrender, for surrender means oppression of us all. These are exceptional times. We have not faced such a threat in many, many years. I wish it had not come. It is the sorrow of the world that these times have come. And we shall have to bring woe unto those whom it came. The future is not certain. It may be the present administration should flinch and turn back in the face of lighter action. I fondly hope that may be the case. But if it comes, we must awaken from this ignorant dream. This evil will not pass without blood, sweat and toil and tears. So harden your hearts and prepare to die. Like I said, I sent that one to the FBI when I saw it yesterday. That's from the left. If anybody is. Any comments. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller. Bueller. Anybody? Any comments on who we're dealing with? Again, Let me go back. The activist I just told you about. That, that is defending a kid that for no reason stabbed another kid to death in the bleachers in front of witnesses. You have Taylor Lorenz refusing to condemn Luigi Mangione. Ha. We are. We are witnessing a transformation of the left now. We are not seeing just these far right or far left radicals in Portland. They are starting to seep through everywhere. And Democrats. You must distance yourself from them. You must distance yourself. This is Glenn Beck, you know. A really important thing to learn when you're buying or selling a home. Your real estate agent matters like a lot. A great agent is going to fight for your price, negotiate like a pro and know exactly how to time the market. A bad one. They're going to smile a lot while you lose a lot of money. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I trust. I wanted a network of agents who aren't just in it for the commission. I wanted people who live by the values that I believe in. Honesty, service, accountability. Those who have actually been vetted for their performance and their best practices. I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I learned what makes them the best. And then we started looking for more of those people. Whether you're moving across town or across the country, we'll connect you with somebody who knows your market inside and out. And we just don't recommend. I mean, we vet these people six ways to Sunday. If we don't have somebody in your area, we're not just going to recommend somebody because it matters. We have a huge, probably a 10,000 person waiting list of people. But we want to make sure we keep this number small enough so we can monitor every single transaction and make sure it's a great experience for you. Realestate agents I trust dot com. That's realestate agents I trust dot com.

Glenn Beck (25:13)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's Friday.

Stu Burguiere (25:16)

Terrifying essay to start off a Friday, Glenn.

Glenn Beck (25:18)

Yeah, I know. I, I would. Were you, were you shocked by that? When I read that.

Stu Burguiere (25:25)

Yes. Yes and no.

Glenn Beck (25:27)

Okay. In case you just joined us, I just read an essay by Nicholas Decker. I want people to know who he is. Substack. And he writes about how, you know, I mean, the title of the essay is When Must We Kill Them? When Must We Kill Them? Well, I don't know anywhere.

Stu Burguiere (25:49)

I'm thinking. Not at all. Yeah, right.

Glenn Beck (25:52)

Not even close. Not even close. During the last administration.

Stu Burguiere (25:56)

No, I, you know, I'm shocked by the essay, obviously. Although. So after talking about the killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, the reaction on the left, you mentioned it there. I won't mention his name. I think that, I think we should implement the same policy we have on mass shooters with this guy. He's turning into a freaking cult hero on the left, and I refuse to give him any more good attention. But that attitude is this attitude, right? Like the line for Taylor Lorenzo just happens to be killing some innocent father and husband in the middle of the street for no reason. But the line for the left is clear that it's closer than it should be. And I think there's a lot of people on the left who think this way. We saw it sometimes with the climate, crazy people on that. We've seen it over and over and over. Again, and you've been very, very clear, as we all have, I think around here, that we're nowhere close to that line. Just because you don't like Donald Trump, Just because you think he's a bad president or you think he does things that are mean, we're nowhere close to that line.

Glenn Beck (27:03)

No, indeed.

Stu Burguiere (27:04)

Because you think the climate and it's 1 degree of warming over 100 years is really, really dangerous. That we're nowhere close to that line. And because you think United Healthcare occasionally says no to a claim that you believe should be covered. No, no, that's also not a reason. And the same thing goes, by the way, for the previous administration. I couldn't stand Joe Biden. How many times, Glenn, people were so sick of hearing me rant about the student loan. Unconstitutionality.

Glenn Beck (27:35)

Unconstitutional, Completely unconstitutional. The taking of Donald Trump and trying to throw him in jail every step of the way. Just so unbelievably, un American. Just, just crazy corruption.

Stu Burguiere (27:50)

Absolutely.

Glenn Beck (27:51)

But did we say that it was time to go out and even think? Did we ever say, you know, when do we kill them?

Stu Burguiere (27:58)

No.

Glenn Beck (27:59)

No.

Stu Burguiere (27:59)

In fact, you were very, you held that line very, very strongly. Because I know there's understandable anger on, on both sides. Right. Like, if you were on the left right now and you saw a lot of the things that we really like that the Donald Trump is doing on the right, you'd be very frustrated. And there were times where some people on social media and people on the right got angry and said things like that, that said that the line that you just talked about in that essay is closer than we should all think it is. And over and over and over again, you were very consistent that. No, it's not. Think about what the founders had to deal with.

Glenn Beck (28:34)

Oh, my gosh.

Stu Burguiere (28:34)

It's a totally. It's not even close.

Glenn Beck (28:36)

No.

Stu Burguiere (28:36)

And look, one of the things, generally speaking, I still have my complaints, but, like, the student loan thing was a big thing. I was really, really angry about it. Generally speaking, the courts got that right and reversed him and stopped him. We do have a system. Another part of that system was, by the way, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris losing. Yes, that's part of the system, too, and a really, really important part of it. And so this stuff should be rejected. It's not all that important that we reject that essay. What is important is that there are people on the left that do it today and tomorrow and this week.

Glenn Beck (29:13)

Yes.

Stu Burguiere (29:13)

And I don't know that we'll see it. I'm concerned.

Glenn Beck (29:15)

We're not Going to. We are not going to.

Stu Burguiere (29:18)

I hope we do.

Glenn Beck (29:19)

No, we won't.

Stu Burguiere (29:19)

I really hope we do.

Glenn Beck (29:20)

I, I hope so too.

Stu Burguiere (29:22)

I think when you see, you saw Elizabeth Warren's reaction to the United Healthcare CEO's murder, it was like, yeah, but health care, that was her. That was her reaction to an innocent father and husband getting murdered in the streets. Yeah, but I mean, come on, guys, healthcare, it is pretty bad. I mean, look, we can all talk about. We, and we have for years. We've complained about the healthcare system in many, many ways, though I think a lot of people complain about it more than is justified. That being said, there's never a reason to go. I don't care what a company does to you, you don't go in and murder the CEO.

Glenn Beck (30:01)

And here's the thing.

Stu Burguiere (30:02)

Thou shalt not. It's pretty clear.

Glenn Beck (30:03)

Yeah. This is so very dangerous. And I'm bringing it up. This has to be policed by the left. Has to be. If I had said any of those things, one paragraph of that two page opinion piece, if I would have said or written one paragraph and released that, I would have lost my job and probably rightfully so. I would have lost my job and the media and the left would have insured it. That wouldn't have been right. But you know, people saying, glenn, you're off the deep end here, that's the right thing, that's the right way to respond. They're not even going to say anything about this. And it's because it's becoming a culture of death. And that's what happens when you, when you reject eternal principles, when you take God out, you will have another God. And that God, whether it's the planet or the government or just you and your grievance, whatever your God becomes, you know, ends justify the means. There's only really one God that says, no, no, no, no, no, no. Turn the other cheek. There's one. It's Easter weekend. It's Good Friday. They killed that guy. They killed that guy. They said he was a revolutionary. No, no, he was a revolutionary in a totally different way. He was a revolutionary exactly the way Martin Luther King was a revolutionary. He came and was preaching peace. Now, the difference between him and Martin Luther King, well, there's a lot of them, but one of them is this guy was actually the savior of all mankind. He came for our sins. But if we forget who we are, there's a great op ed on the blaze. Exodus warns us by Aaron Wexler after miracles, people forget. Listen to this and check this don't just hear the words, but actually apply them to today. After miracles, the people still forget. The same amnesia that happened with the Jews now threatens America's soul. Unless we choose to remember. Love that. Choose. Choose to remember. You can't just say, I forgot. No, you. You knew it at one point. You chose to just let it go by. Passover has just ended. A central story for the Jews and Christians alike, but also the defining narrative for America. What? How America's founders drew heavily from the Exodus and the Hebrew prophets. They studied Hebrew. Some even proposed it as the official language of the United States. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin, for his part, suggested that the National Seal feature Moses crossing the parted Red Sea? The. The reverence for this story runs deep in our DNA. It's no accident that Hollywood, the most American of art forms, has returned to it again and again and again to retell the Exodus story. And yet, as a nation, we let some of our oldest traditions fade. But that's nothing new. God always finds a way to remind us. Today, many Americans have begun to realize we needed the pain of 2020. See, this is one of the difference between knowing God and not knowing God or rejecting God. If you believe in God and you believe he's a God of good, you know, then a. I'm saved. No matter what happens to me, my body, this is more important. My soul is much more important than anything my body is going through. Okay, that's number one. The other thing is, you know, that it's all for his good. He doesn't lose. So I may not experience the good part of it, but I know he wins. I know good wins. In the end. That changes everything. 2020, we could have just, you know, whined and bitched and moaned the whole time. You know, I'm not whining and bitching and moaning as much because I've realized again, because of 2020, that that actually turned out good. You know, you may not get your way, but he usually gets his one way or another. Without that nightmare, President Trump would have returned, wouldn't have returned with a mandate to truly save America. Without those four bitter years, the country might never have wakened to remember who we are. This moment echoes the Exodus. Just as we needed four years of national affliction to witness Trump's political deliverance, the Israelites needed to see God's hand, to remember his power. That's why scripture says God hardened the pharaoh's heart, not only to punish Egypt, but to remind his people of the unmatched might. Where have you heard recently anything like God hardened Pharaoh's heart? It was the last line of that essay I just read to you. So harden your hearts. What kind of advice is that now? It's done by God. Okay, I don't get it, but okay. Harden your hearts. Soften your heart. He wanted to remind people of his unmatched might, to declare for all to see that there is none like unto the Lord our God. And yet, even after the 10 plagues and the miraculous escape, the Israelites forgot and faltered. Jewish tradition teaches that only one in five left Egypt. Think of that. Think of that. Only one in five. 20%. The tipping point. Only 20% that were slaves decided to leave. The rest felt more comfortable in slavery. They didn't want to do the hard thing. So only one in five left slavery. The rest chosen the false comfort of slavery. Many who did leave lost faith before stepping into the Red Sea. Others bowed before the golden calf while Moses ascended Sinai. Even in the face of miracles, it was easier for some to forget God than to trust him. Americans had forgotten God before 2020. And God gave them a hard reminder. So ask yourself, if we forget who we are, what else have we forgotten? Look again to the story of Passover. The book of Exodus begins with a chilling line. There arose up a new king over Egypt which knew not of Joseph. It wasn't just that Pharaoh forgot Joseph. He chose not to know him. He chose not to acknowledge Joseph because it would have meant acknowledging the Israelites and all they had done for Egypt. Joseph saved the Egyptians from famine. His descendants helped build up the nation. Pharaoh wanted to erase them. He enslaved them. Think again of what's happening today. There's rising up among us, a king that is saying, forget the Hebrews, forget the Jews. They don't want to recognize anything that the Jews did to help build us as a people, as a faith, and as a nation. So they're trying to do what Pharaoh did and erase them. He ordered their sons drown in the Nile. But not everyone forgot. Pharaoh's own daughter remembered. She rescued Moses, one who would lead the Israelites out of Egypt, receive the Ten Commandments at Sinai, and pass down a faith that would eventually give birth to Christianity. That's something worth remembering. We rightly see Pharaoh as the villain of Exodus. But how many of us stop to honor the quiet heroism of the Pharaoh's daughter? She saved Moses when it was unpopular, even dangerous, to do so. She defied her father's command, choosing righteousness over convenience. Her courage made everything that followed possible. Christians have long understood the wisdom of Romans. If the root is holy, so are the branches. Like that olive tree. We must guard the roots and grow strong branches. We must first remember. So remember who we are. Americans are a good people. A good people who remember God. And like Pharaoh's daughter, when we remember Joseph, even when the world forgets, like the Israelites, we walk away from slavery into the unknown, trusting the God who will deliver us. We are those people. Pray that we remember and don't forget. It's a great op ed piece.

Stu Burguiere (41:14)

Let me ask you something that most people never even think about. When you invest your money, do you know what it's actually supporting? And I'm not just talking about performance or returns, which are very important, certainly. But I'm also talking about values. Because when your portfolio is packed with all sorts of stuff that a Wall street firm wants it to be packed with, there's a good chance your money is being used to fund causes you'd never voluntarily support. Talking about ESG mandates and corporate activism and radical social agendas and things that quietly chip away at everything you believe in. You'd never write a check to fund that stuff. But if you've got investments with the Wrong people. You probably already are. And that's why I want to tell you about Constitution Wealth. This is a firm built for people just like you, people who care about faith and family, freedom, financial integrity. They don't just grow your money, which, of course, they do do that as well, but they also help you aim your money to the right direction. Constitutional wealth works with you to create a portfolio that reflects your beliefs. A portfolio that grows your wealth without compromising your values. Seems like a simple concept, one that invests in businesses that respect liberty and biblical principles and personal responsibility. That one's trying to deconstruct them all the time.

Oh, man. Keith Olbermann. I don't know if even people remember who he is, but he used to be on MSNBC years ago, and I think he was a sportscaster for a while now. He's just a sad, sad guy. It's really sad. But yesterday we posted something about me talking about, you know, how Harvard received $20 billion from the government since its founding and, you know, we probably shouldn't do that. He responded yesterday. Goes towards education, Glenn, you know, what you gave up on when you were 10 and the absence of which provides you with an audience and an income. You know, Keith, I don't think that's the dig that you really intend. I mean, wow, you're so under edge. It makes people like you and pay you money.

It's Good Friday, the Friday before Easter. And I thought today would be a good day just to talk about miracles. And Billy Hollowell has put together a documentary and it is well worth seeing. Investigating the supernatural, natural miracles. We're gonna talk to him in 60 seconds. Standby first. Ever try using a chainsaw to open an envelope? Yeah, that's how a lot of people address, you know, self defense. One tool, one outcome. Pretty much. No middle ground there. It's a chainsaw. Oh, it'll open the envelope. But real life isn't always that black and white. Sometimes you don't want lethal force. You just want to stop a threat fast, effectively and without carrying the weight of a life altering decision. You know, if you're at the gas station at night and you see some things that are just not right and people are starting to approach your car and you're a woman. That's why my wife has in the glove box of her car a burner launcher. It's not a firearm, but it looks and handles like one. And it powers powerful non lethal kinetic or chemical rounds that can drop an attacker in their tracks without deadly force. It's a tool for the gray areas, for the Parking lot confrontation, the aggressive stranger at the front door. Or situations where yelling just won't cut it, but lethal force would go too far. Just carry this in your toolbox. Treat your family safety and safely and the safety of your, your family, your kids differently. Burna gives you options, real protection without the deadly consequences. Why? I have one. You should have one. I got one for every member of the family. It's legal everywhere. And as long as you're over 18, anyone can carry it. No background checks or anything. Send it right to your door. Burna B Y R N a dot com Glenn that's Byrna B Y dash R N a dot com Glenn. You know, I have. When we started the Blaze, we started with a bunch of people that were really unknowns. And we have seen so many people leave here and go on to unbelievable things. I mean, most people don't know. Will Kane, he started his career here. Pete Hegseth began his career at the Blaze. Buck Sexton started his career at the Blaze. And Billy Hollowell. Billy worked with Dan Andros, who used to be a writer of mine. He was our head writer for a long time. Just fantastic writer. All those, all those years at Fox, it was, was Dan that was writing all of those things and he left to go to cbn. Oh, Christ needs me. Whatever. And Billy Hollowell used to work at the Blaze and he did the same thing. Oh, I gotta go. Christ needs me. And so he's working at CBN now as well. You can find what he's going to be talking about@cbn.com supernatural Billy, welcome to the program. Glad to have you here.

Caller (49:50)

Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

Glenn Beck (49:52)

You bet. All right, so why did you do this and what did you find?

Caller (49:57)

You know, it's crazy. We, we went around the entire country looking for stories of crazy miracles. Not just minor miracles, but, you know, claims that, that tumors disappeared, paralysis disappear. And really the why was this feeling? You know, there's a lot of people out there who don't think miracles still happen.

Glenn Beck (50:16)

Right.

Caller (50:16)

There's even people who are Christians who will say, eh, I don't know if I think God is moving. And so we wanted, we wanted to go out and test that and we wanted to see our miracles still happening. And I'll tell you what we found really blew my mind when we went into this project. I thought, okay, we're going to go into this, we're going to do this and you know, it's going to inspire me. It's not going to change me. I walked away and you know, this, Glenn, I'm a Christian. I've been a Christian my whole life, but I walked away completely transformed and challenged by the insane things that we encountered.

Glenn Beck (50:45)

Okay, so first, let's just define what a miracle is.

Caller (50:49)

Okay, so miracles, there's a wide range of things that miracles can qualify as, right? You have the small miracles, the things that we, as Christians or as people of faith feel God doing in our lives, right? Those could be miracles, but you can't. You can't really prove them. Then you have the big miracles, the things like, hey, this guy was dead for 40 minutes and somehow came back to life. Which, by the way, that's one of the stories. And we could talk about it that we encountered along the way. You know, we were looking at miracles in this documentary that were 30,000 foot huge things, things that have scientific backing, that have doctors involved, that have really evidence, right? And so miracles, again, they could be a wide range, but we wanted to look at those big ones and we could say, okay, is there proof? How close can we get to actually proving that these things happen? And by the way, you know, we went into these stories skeptically because I don't, I don't think any of us should just go out and say, oh, yeah, you know, whatever you say, we believe we really wanted to provide the evidence along the way.

Glenn Beck (51:49)

Okay, so tell me, tell me some of the things that you found.

Caller (51:53)

All right, so let's talk about the guy who was dead for 40 minutes. This story, when it came across our desk, we did a ton of research, dug into it. Jeff Markin is a guy who, you know, he wasn't feeling well, went to the hospital, he has a heart attack. He dies essentially inside the hospital. They call a doctor, an emergency room doctor, and they're trying to revive him. They spend 40 minutes on this guy trying to revive him. They pronounce him dead. So this guy is now on the gurney on his way to the morgue. Dr. Chauncey Crandall, who was the doctor in the room that day, he leaves the room. He assumes, well, this is over. The guy died. He's gonna move on with his day. As he's walking in the hallway, this doctor feels God say to him, go back and pray over that body. Go back into the room. And he ignores it because he thinks that's insane. He feels the prompt again, go back into that room. And so he's like, well, I'm a Christian, I better listen to this. So he goes into the room, and you can imagine the nurse and the doctors, they're thinking, this guy's nuts. He's going to come in and pray over this dead body that we've already declared dead. And so he starts praying over the guy and all of a sudden he says to the other doctors, shock him one more time. And they're like, look, there's no way we're shocking him again because we've tried for 40 minutes and he's dead. And so they end up doing it because he tells them to do it. And immediately this guy gets a perfect heartbeat back again. They tried for 40 minutes and got nothing. And now the nurse is saying to the doctor, what are you doing? Like now he's going to be brain dead after this. What's so crazy about this story? This man, Jeff Martin, had a near death experience, which I'll hold off on that. You can, you can watch it in the film while this was going on. But he ends up two days later waking up completely fine. We interviewed him in this film. And so it's those kinds of stories. I mean, there's multiple miracles in there. And again, these are not just claims. We've got medical documentation. So that's the kind of stuff we were dealing with in this documentary.

Glenn Beck (53:47)

So, you know, Billy, the, the amazing thing is we all have these. We all think that, you know, God doesn't talk to us. He didn't talk to me. He. I don't, I don't hear him, but he does. And it's those little things that usually, like that doctor, we dismiss, that's crazy. And you just dismiss them because you think it's you. And if you obey them enough times and then you realize, oh, wow, that was amazing. Why I turned around and did that because I was told to. And that turned out to be an amazing thing. I mean, not as amazing as that usually, but you, you start to discipline yourself to listen. And it happens more and more often, or maybe you just notice it more. But he does speak to us and it requires us to not dismiss it as our stupid little voice in our head saying, you know, go back and pray over him. Why? That's stupid. Now, why would I, right?

Caller (54:41)

Being open to it. Well, being open to. Because the thing that struck me in all of this, right, and after we finished investigating the supernatural miracles and we were looking at the stories, all of these people, they had to fight for miracles. Like the other three stories that we cover in this film, none of them went to a prayer event and got healed on the first try. It was 10 years of praying and struggling. And that opens a lot of Interesting theological questions which we do deal with. We deal with not getting the miracle. Because, look, we all die eventually, right? Even Lazarus, who was raised from the dead, he died again. So eventually the miracles run out. But to your point, I mean, I'll even share. For me, and I think this was a miracle. I was, you know, really upset about a diagnosis my daughter had of scoliosis. I was in my car, and I'm. I'm driving and I'm thinking, God, I'm like, crying out to God, what are we going to do? You know, give me a sign that this is going to be okay. And Glenn, you know, I live in New York. There aren't a lot of trucks that have Bible verses on them. I literally look up as I'm praying, and the truck in front of me has a verse speaking about God, you know, comforting us and how it will be okay in that very moment. I would say that's a miracle. And I think that's more like what most of us deal with in the day in and day out. And that is how God will often communicate to us.

Glenn Beck (55:58)

Let me be real. Let me. Let me ask you something, Billy. This is a very personal thing. I have. I have been praying really hard over my children, and there are some things that just. I don't. Just don't understand. And I'll pray and, you know, I'll see no result. And it has really hurt my faith at weak points. It has hurt my faith because I thought. And I haven't thought about him. I've thought about me. I'm just not. I'm not in sync with him enough. I'm not worthy enough for. You know what I mean?

Caller (56:43)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (56:43)

Have you ever felt that way?

Caller (56:45)

Absolutely. I think. I think in all of this, especially when we're not getting an answer, and I saw this in the film. I've seen it in my own life. There is this tension that we have to live in. And I think this is really hard because we're human beings, right? This tension of I'm going to trust God, that I believe the day I die, if I'm terminally ill or if my kid is struggling with something, you know, I'm going to believe for healing or for better decisions or for whatever the issue is, because I believe it's possible and God could do anything, and I'm going to believe that till the very last minute, while at the same time, and this is where it gets hard, having the trust that if that thing does not happen, if the healing doesn't happen on this side of eternity, that I'm going to trust God and be okay with whatever that plan is. Those two things are really tough.

Glenn Beck (57:29)

Really, really hard. Really tough.

Caller (57:31)

But that's the death itself. That's the death to self that we're called to kind of live in. And that I struggle with that all the time. I think we all do. And by the way, I mean, because I think this actually helps. That doctor in that emergency room who brought that, who prayed over that body, his son died of leukemia a couple of years before that. And he fought for a miracle and didn't get it for him. And now this guy is living, he's able to have those two things, right? That, that radical trust. And so that really helped me. Actually seeing this guy who didn't get a miracle for his kid and yet still believes it's possible.

Glenn Beck (58:04)

It is remarkable when you see people who can actually live with this. My daughter, you know, she's been to all kinds of doctors, she's had brain surgery and everything else, and, and I have prayed over her so many times to get her seizures to stop and they just don't. And they're relentless. And she'll say to me that, I'm not worried about it, I'm not worried about it. And she's really tired of them. I'm not worried about it. Lord's gonna heal me. When I'm in heaven, he's gonna heal me. And that faith is just remarkable. Just remarkable.

Caller (58:46)

Profound.

Glenn Beck (58:46)

Yeah, it is.

Caller (58:47)

Wow.

Glenn Beck (58:48)

It is. Go ahead.

Caller (58:51)

Now, as a parent, you know, and something like that, you know, scoliosis, you know, I mentioned with my daughter, that is not a terminal illness. And I kept saying, you know, thank God it's, it's not something worse, you know, but the struggle, you know, watching your kid go. And by the way, you know, we were going through this as this film was going on, and a lot of this, as I've been talking about it and promoting it, has dawned on me of how good God was in this particular circumstance. But just watching your kids struggle and suffer, you know, my daughter went from a normal 6 year old playing to being in a brace 21 hours a day, you know, and not being able to do certain things, and you watch your kids suffer. And it is, it is a profound challenge to faith. And that is where we have to rest in that, in that trust, right? And believing that the miracles are possible, but knowing again that we may not get them. In the case of my daughter, you know, she's out of her brace and they can barely detect scoliosis right now, like we had a real miracle, honestly, you know, and I've been so grateful for that. But recognizing that there are other things that we haven't had that in our lives and it is tough. It is really tough.

Glenn Beck (59:52)

I want to talk to you about some of the other things that you found in the documentary and you started exploring. So you thought it originally was going to be a three part series. And I want to ask you why you, why you didn't do that, why you're focusing on the miracles? Because it was miracles. Heaven, hell, angels and demons, which I find fascinating. But we'll talk about that coming up in just a second. First, so you order a pizza online one day. Simple, easy, no hassle. Until 15 minutes, minutes later when you get a text message from your bank wanting to know if you just bought new tires in Poland, you're like, no, no. I mean, unless Domino's is branching out internationally and I don't know, having to change some tires to get the pizza to my house. No. That's how fast it can happen.

I got out of my patrol car and I slipped. I went from having a promising career as an neuroscientist to having a medical death sentence. I said there was nothing else that we could do. There was no heartbeat. Time of death 8:05.

Caller (61:56)

Are miracles real? Do they happen today? Let's investigate.

Glenn Beck (62:00)

A lot of skeptics will say, well, miracles are impossible. Why? Because they violate the laws of nature. Can't violate the laws of nature. People would pray for me. And sometimes it felt like this power that just zapped me when I woke up. She says, can you do anything that you didn't do before? I looked at my hand, it was clutched.

Caller (62:20)

I said, hand move.

Glenn Beck (62:23)

Another doctor came in and he said, what is going on in here? He's dead, it's over. I said, shock him one more time.

Eric Schmidt (62:32)

Well, maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.

Glenn Beck (62:35)

Let's look at the evidence. So tell me the story about the, the guy who apparently was paralyzed, couldn't do anything and how that miracle happened.

Caller (62:51)

Yeah, that Brian Lapu. I mean, that story blew me away. They, they live out in New Jersey. He was a cop. And I mean, it's so crazy how life happens. This guy is a police officer, he's out on patrol, he's walking on the ice, he's slips and he breaks his neck. It just slips and falls, breaks his neck and he ends up in a ten year nightmare, basically. You know, he ends up paralyzed on half of his body. As a result of the injuries and the surgeries that he needed to have. The doctor said, oh, he's going to be fine. He was not fine, had no hope of recovery. Nobody had actually ever recovered from what he had and the damage he had. And so during these 10 years, he and his wife Meg, they start going to prayer services and they start, are trying to get healing. And very similar to what we were just talking about, they're not getting healing, nothing is happening. And he gets to the point where he's like, look, I don't want anybody touching me. I don't want anybody praying over me. I am done. And his wife says to him, and this is why it's so, it's so important that we encourage people. You know, when people are no longer encouraged and they don't want to move forward, the wife says, look, let's go to one more of these events. Let's just get them to pray over you one more time. He says, no, I don't want to. She says, yes, just do it for my birthday. It'll be my gift. And so he says, fine, we'll go. They go to this event and it is at that event that he gets his healing, that his hand opens up for the first time. He walks out of that event without his brace for the first time in 10 years. And we interviewed him, he no longer has a brace and his condition is completely healed. And it's remarkable because it's on film, it's on camera. The moment he was healed at this conference, somebody captured it on a cell phone. And so you see stories like this and it just blows you away because the persistence in the face and the fighting, ongoing belief that this was possible. And you know, in his case, he got that healing.

Glenn Beck (64:43)

There's so many people that will capitalize on this. There's so many frauds. Did you, did you cover any of that?

Caller (64:51)

You know what, we didn't get into that because when we actually did the vetting for these stories, we made 100% sure that before a camera turned on or we went anywhere that we knew these were at least compelling stories. We went in skeptically, we tried to poke holes and look, but we knew that these were people who, I mean, these people can't even get through their story without crying. And you see this in the film. I mean, they are so overjoyed and moved and transformed. So we made sure that we, that we tackled those stories. But you're absolutely right. I mean, there's a lot of people when it comes to near death experiences, all these things who will, they will make things up to make money. But none of these people were in that camp and we made sure of that.

Glenn Beck (65:30)

So you were going to do it as a series and you were going to go into demons and angels and everything else. You still going to do that or is. Why did you, why did you not pursue that? Why did you just go with miracles?

Caller (65:43)

Yeah, you know, so, so CBN Christian Broadcasting Network, when we went into this, it was Greenlit as a three part series, 30 minutes each. And when we started filming Miracles, which was episode one, like day one, we knew. We were like, we can't tell this story in 30 minutes. I mean, we, these stories need to be told and we need to spe time on them. And with culture, what is happening right now in this culture, we have college students flocking to hear about God, where we have these moments, despite the culture crumbling.

Glenn Beck (66:11)

Right? Yeah.

Caller (66:12)

At the same time, we wanted to provide proof to people. And so we ended up shifting this into a three part film series. So the second film will be investigating the supernatural, angels and demons. And that is underway right now. We've started work on that, we've started filming that. And it's going to be the same approach. You know, we want to go in and show people, is this real? What do Christians believe? What does the Bible say? Is this true? And it's obviously a difficult topic. Angels and demons. It's a little harder than miracles. But yeah, we, we are planning to do it. Yep.

Glenn Beck (66:44)

Well, how crazy have things gotten? How crazy can they get? Well, we were on the same crazy town train as England is still on. I want to play something that happened I think last month at an English bank, the Santander bank. A guy from England goes in, just tries to take $2,500 out if you will and listen to the exchange he's having at the bank. He starts recording it.

Bank Customer (69:17)

I'm now in Santander bank, right?

Glenn Beck (69:19)

What are you doing, sir?

Bank Customer (69:20)

I'm filming you and I'm recording this conversation. I'm coming to the bank to withdraw two and a half thousand pounds. Are you going to let me. I've got 11 and a half thousand pounds in my account. Are you going to let me, Are you going to let me have the money or not?

Glenn Beck (69:31)

He was transferred to a staff member on the phone but the situation only continued to escalate.

Bank Customer (69:37)

Are you going to. Are you going to let me withdraw two and a half thousand pound from my account today? Yes or no in the branch?

Abby (69:45)

And what is the two and a half thousand pound for Mr. Jackson buying.

Bank Customer (69:48)

A motorbike for my son.

Abby (69:50)

Right, okay. So have you got any evidence of the motorbike?

Bank Customer (69:53)

No, I haven't got any evidence of a motorbike at all. No, I haven't got it. So I don't know what one I'm getting yet.

Abby (69:58)

Okay, so if you don't know what you're getting, how do you know how much you need?

Bank Customer (70:01)

Because I've got a budget. I've got a budget. I've got a budget of two and a half thousand pounds for the motorbike. So that's why I want to withdraw two and a half thousand pound for my account today.

Abby (70:10)

So when you found the, when you found the bike for your son, if you can show us some evidence.

Bank Customer (70:15)

So you knocked it. So I need to show you evidence. So I need to show you evidence.

Eric Schmidt (70:20)

You can't film me without my permission, sir.

Bank Customer (70:24)

So you're not. So you're not going to give me the money?

Glenn Beck (70:25)

No, I'm going to hang up this.

Bank Customer (70:27)

Immediate, absolute joke, this place, absolute joke.

Glenn Beck (70:31)

Imagine that, that you walk into the bank, he says, I have £11,000 in my account, which could be $4. I don't know. £11,000.

Stu Burguiere (70:40)

No one knows.

Glenn Beck (70:41)

Nobody knows. You can't even figure it out. It's like metric. I don't know. Could be a centimeter, could be a mile.

Stu Burguiere (70:48)

I don't know.

Glenn Beck (70:49)

Don't know.

Stu Burguiere (70:50)

You can't possibly.

Glenn Beck (70:51)

Nope, nobody knows.

Stu Burguiere (70:52)

Convert it.

Glenn Beck (70:53)

Canadians maybe, but they don't count. So Anyway, he's got £11,000 in his bank account. He's going to take £2,500 out and they won't let him do it without evidence on what he's going to spend it on.

Stu Burguiere (71:05)

That's incredible.

Glenn Beck (71:05)

Money is this. And we are close to that. Yeah, we are very close to that.

Stu Burguiere (71:12)

First of all, a commercial for bitcoin, just straight out. A commercial for bitcoin. For bitcoin.

Glenn Beck (71:17)

Unbelievable.

Stu Burguiere (71:18)

But like, I just can't even conceive of that. Can you imagine walking into your bank and having that conversation? No, because I, it. You could answer all of these questions and he does, but there's no need to answer any of these questions. Yeah, well, who cares?

Glenn Beck (71:32)

It's my money holding my money. I mean, that is. I mean, you can't do it because a country like England and even ours, they're not going to let you open up a bank, you know, Bill's bank, where we believe your money belongs to you. You know, that's our slogan. You can get Your money at any time. It's right here in the vault.

Stu Burguiere (71:52)

It's a terrible long slogan, but it is a fact.

Glenn Beck (71:55)

But it would be very effective slogan if you open Bill's bank, where the slogan is, you can get your money. It's right here in the vault. It's your money, not ours. We're just holding it. What you would be. People would flock to you. You can't open one of those in America.

Stu Burguiere (72:13)

I mean, I think you can. It's just not exactly easy.

Glenn Beck (72:16)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (72:17)

You know, and some. I think some banks do have an approach that is similar to that.

Glenn Beck (72:22)

No, I tell you, I shop at a. Or I mean a bank, at a local bank. And I've tried to get money out to. Out of the bank. And you have to have two weeks. Give me two weeks. Give me two weeks. What are you talking about? Two weeks?

Stu Burguiere (72:35)

Two weeks to get your own money.

Glenn Beck (72:36)

To get your money. You know why?

Stu Burguiere (72:37)

No.

Glenn Beck (72:38)

All the money is at the Federal Reserve. Every bank now returns all the money. There is no. There's nothing in the vault. What is petty cash in banks now? They don't. They move the money to the Federal Reserve every night.

Stu Burguiere (72:52)

So when you're just talking about when you were taking direct cash out, obviously you can purchase things, but you're doing that typically digitally.

Glenn Beck (72:59)

Yeah. Not when you're. When you're actual money. Actual money. It has to come from the Federal Reserve and they need two weeks. What? Excuse me. It's insane. It's truly insane. It's my money. What? What are you doing? It's nuts.

Stu Burguiere (73:17)

And this is what makes you want to put it under your mattress or bury it in your yard.

Glenn Beck (73:21)

It is. It is. Or get into gold or Bitcoin.

Stu Burguiere (73:24)

Yeah. And those things can help with that. Of course, obviously, when you're talking about in your hand cash, you still have a transfer process with both of those. Right. Like if you want to go buy something down the street with your own cash, can you do that? I mean, even when those services are delayed, it's suspect.

Glenn Beck (73:43)

Is it? It's. Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (73:44)

Exactly the way our country ran for a really long.

Glenn Beck (73:47)

I mean, why is. Why are you buying it in cash? You don't need to catch cash. Why are you spending cash? What are you hiding? What are you actually buying? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. A motorbike for your son. That's. That you are a criminal. You have to prove yourself to be innocent. That's nuts.

Stu Burguiere (74:04)

That is nuts. Absolutely crazy. That's not the way. I mean, now this is in the uk, but still, it's the uk Right. But certainly there are different standards there that I don't like. But I do think we're seeing more and more of that stuff here. We're seeing it even with these, you know, these digital payment services that are banning people from even receiving money. Imagine you're running a small business, you're receiving money through a digital payment service, and then that digital payment service says, yeah, no more.

Glenn Beck (74:32)

What? I've heard this story.

Stu Burguiere (74:35)

Well, we talked about, I'm not talking about a specific one. We talked about many examples of this. We're like, you know, I don't want to name the companies.

Glenn Beck (74:41)

Oh, okay. I know what you're talking about. Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (74:43)

Many companies.

Caller (74:44)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (74:44)

Processing companies will just say, hey, your company's no longer on our service.

Glenn Beck (74:48)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (74:49)

And then what, what do you do? You've got to figure out a way around it.

Glenn Beck (74:52)

Just buy everything in cash, gang. Just go to your bank, get cash. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah.

Stu Burguiere (74:56)

It's the un, it's that unbanking process which, you know, it does seem like the Trump administration is trying to tackle a little bit, which I think is a valuable pursuit.

Glenn Beck (75:07)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (75:07)

You know, that has to just be gone from our society. We're not, we should not be. That should never happen in America. What?

Glenn Beck (75:14)

We just never, never.

Stu Burguiere (75:16)

And it has happened in America that, that particular example is not from here, but that stuff has happened and it shouldn't ever happen. You should always have the right to be able to access your own money.

Glenn Beck (75:26)

You know, I, I was watching some stuff on, on X yesterday. I was watching some clips from Eric Schmidt. Marilyn.

Stu Burguiere (75:34)

We had, we had a former head of Google. Yeah, yeah, he's been on the program.

Glenn Beck (75:38)

He'd been on the program before. We talked him about AI and it was really spooky. I, I, I mean, he's just so casual about all of this. I want you to listen to a couple of things he's just said about artificial general intelligence. Cut 3.

Eric Schmidt (75:50)

We believe as an industry that in the next one year the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers. We also believe that within one year you will have graduate level mathematicians that are at the tippy top of graduate math programs. So that's one year. Okay, what happens in two years? Well, I've just told you about reasoning and I've told you about programming, and I've told you about math. Programming plus math are the basis of sort of our whole digital world. So the evidence and the claims from the research groups in OpenAI and Anthropic and so forth is that they're now somewhere around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer. That's called recursive Self improvement is the technical term. So what happens when this thing starts to scale? Well, a lot. One way to say this is that within three to five years we'll have what is called general intelligence, AGI, which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician, physicist, you know, artist, writer, thinker, politician.

Glenn Beck (77:07)

Huh. Within three to five years.

Stu Burguiere (77:10)

And that's close to your timeline, right?

Glenn Beck (77:12)

Yeah, yeah, it's right on my timeline. Now he goes on to talk about these computers smarter than the sum of all humans.

Eric Schmidt (77:21)

Listen, what happens when every single one of us has the equivalent of the smartest human on every problem in our pocket? I want to make the point here is that in the next year or two, this foundation is being locked in and we're not going to stop. Gets much, much more interesting after that, because remember, the computers are now doing self improvement. They're learning how to plan and they don't have to listen to us anymore. We call that super intelligence, or asi. Artificial super intelligence. And this is the theory that there will be computers that are smarter than the sum of humans. The San Francisco Convent consensus is this occurs within six years, just based on scaling. This path is not understood in our society. There's no language for what happens with the arrival of this. That's why it's underhyped. People do not understand what happens when you have intelligence at this level, which is largely free.

Stu Burguiere (78:26)

Yeah, and, you know, we talk about this often, but it's not just horror show, terrible things. There's going to be incredible innovations and things we've never conceived of. And when he says it seems like it's mostly free, what does that mean to our economic system? It's totally changing. It could be that we could have been wasting our entire lives saving for retirement, for example. This is something that people in Silicon Valley are actually doing. They've stopped saving for retirement because they're so convinced that this is just gonna wipe all that out. I'm not there, but I, maybe I should be. I don't know.

Glenn Beck (79:04)

You know, UBI is.

Stu Burguiere (79:06)

Yeah. Universal Basic Income, which is income, which is basically you get a check from the government or whatever all the time, and that's how you support your life rather than going to work.

Glenn Beck (79:14)

Okay. Because things are going to change so much. I heard an even scarier proposition now that they're thinking in Silicon Valley ubc Universal Basic Computer. You are given a certain amount of time with access to artificial super intelligence and how you want to spend it is how you want to spend it. But you're not going to be able to do anything without compute time. So it, it's, instead of paying you, it's just giving you Universal Basic compute so everybody can have a shot at being with the smartest person in the world and they can help. Oh my gosh. Wow. It's going to make this bank thing that we just talked about, right? Small potatoes.

Stu Burguiere (80:05)

Let me ask you this, I got another one for you. This is from AI like newsletter that I follow. I thought this is fascinating, fascinating thing to think about because we talk about all the time about how they don't really understand their own products. Like they're making these things and they don't know. Not only do they not know what's going to happen with artificial super intelligence in six years or whatever.

Glenn Beck (80:24)

No, no. But no, it just won't have to listen us anymore. Okay.

Stu Burguiere (80:28)

But they also don't really know what's going on right now. Listen to this. Anthropic, which is one of the big AI firms they have, Claude is theirs. Is theirs. Anthropic has made its first investment in another startup, putting $1 million into GoodFire, a one year old startup that helps AI developers understand the inner workings of their AI models. They, they just bought a company to tell them how their own product works.

Glenn Beck (81:00)

And you know what? Money well spent. But I don't think it'll work.

Stu Burguiere (81:05)

Really?

Glenn Beck (81:06)

Yeah, I mean it is. We don't have any idea it's doing stuff now. We don't have any idea how it's doing it. None. But let's keep, let's keep going. As he said, the trains already left the station. Within a year you won't be able to turn it off. Okay.

Stu Burguiere (81:22)

Okay.

Glenn Beck (81:22)

All righty.

Stu Burguiere (81:23)

Like maybe we should all seen movies, right?

Glenn Beck (81:26)

Not if you're living in Silicon Valley, I think.

Stu Burguiere (81:28)

Apparently not.

Glenn Beck (81:28)

All right, here's something no one tells you. When you hit your 40s, sleep, stop working like it used to. You know, you go to bed tired, you wake up tired, you spend the rest of your day tired. And then you're up because the kids won't go to bed or whatever. And so you go to bed tired again. And it's, you know, lather, rinse, repeat. Somewhere in between your body forgets how to rebuild, restore and reset. And that's where Z Factor comes in. Z Factor is not just a sleep aid. It's a science backed formula that triggers deep restorative sleep. The kind your body actually uses to produce testosterone and repair tissue and balance hormones and restore your edge. Because you can't be sharp, focused and present if your brain is stuck in power saving mode. And that's what it is. But when you sleep, man, you feel it. It's in the energy. All of a sudden you have again. It's in your drive, it's even in your mood. You show up better for your family, your work and your purpose. It's Z factor. It helps you rest like you mean it. So you can live like you mean it too. Get the edge back, sleep deeper, wake stronger. It's Z Factor. First time Z Factor buyers are going to enjoy 46% savings. It's 19.95 for a 30 day supply.

You ever notice how you just kind of like learn to live with it? If you've got pain, tightness in your shoulders that never goes away, or stiffness in your back when you get up in the morning, Maybe it's brain fog, maybe it's stress, maybe it's a feeling that your body isn't broken, but it's not exactly firing on all cylinders. We tend to eventually just start calling that normal. But what if it isn't? What if there's a better baseline and we've just kind of forgotten what that feels like?

Glenn Beck (84:42)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Let me go to. Let me go to James in Washington. Hello, James.

Caller (84:48)

Hey, Glenn.

G (84:49)

It's great to talk with you.

Glenn Beck (84:50)

Thank you.

Caller (84:51)

So you would.

G (84:52)

You had mentioned banking institutions are or may soon prevent us from using our own money. It's already here. Last spring, last Easter, I planned a trip to Prague, Czech Republic, for my family with my two teenage boys, 16 and 18 at the time. And I did a interbank transfer, an international transfer for a package to shoot Soviet weapons. And it's what was. With a legitimate company in Czech Republic. They, they contract out to movie makers for their tanks and their. And their firearms. And I did the transfer. Everything went well. And the next day we were on our layover in Denver, and I got a call, and the gentleman on the phone said that they had reversed the transfer because they didn't feel it was safe. Well, me, you know, not assuming malice, that which we can attribute to ignorance. I just figured that, you know, the Czech Republic is in the EU politically, but not, not monetarily. Maybe they felt it was unsafe. Maybe they felt it was organized crime or drugs or something like that, or I was being scammed. Maybe they were protecting me. And.

Glenn Beck (86:10)

None of those.

G (86:10)

But, yeah, none of those. They said they reversed it because they didn't believe in it, because they thought it was too dangerous.

Glenn Beck (86:17)

Yeah, when they said doing that. Yeah, when they said it's too dangerous, I doubt they even meant that it was too dangerous for you. It was too dangerous for their business model because of all of the ESG rules over in, over in Europe. So if they had spent that money like that on, on something like that, which, you know, has got to not fit the ESG rules, then it's dangerous for them. They'll be flagged as a dangerous entity, and they can lose their backing in the banking system. That's most likely what they meant. And we just, we have calls from, from all over the country, people saying, glenn, it is happening. It's happening to me over and over and over again. A ton of calls from all over the country. So just be aware. All right. Back in a minute. This is Glenn Beck.

Stu Burguiere (87:31)

Let me ask you something. If someone drained your bank account tomorrow, you'd probably notice it immediately, right? We were just talking about banking issues. Those are things that hit you kind of right in the face. But if someone stole your home title and took out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans against it, how long would it take you to find out? Probably months. Years. Long enough for your equity to vanish and a legal nightmare to begin. This is called home title theft and it's one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Thieves find your title online. It's shockingly easy. They forge your name, they file it with the county and suddenly your house isn't really your house anymore. And no, your homeowner's insurance doesn't cover this. Neither does your bank. But home title Lock does. They monitor your title to make sure that nothing's going on. The moment anything suspicious happens, you get alerted fast. And if you're already a victim, they'll step in with a restoration team to help you fight back. Your home is unlikely to be stolen, you know, on a truck, but the title of it can be stolen very easily. Don't let it happen to you. Go to hometitlelock.com hometitlelock.com Use the promo code BLAZE. It's hometitlelock.com the promo code is BLAZE. Don't miss your chance to spring into.

Down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark Got to face the dog in Embrace the fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Yesterday was Passover. This is the point on a Friday. Now, if you went back in time and you were at the time of Christ, we would probably be standing at the gates waiting for Pilate to give us a choice, Barabbas or Christ. This is about the time of the day that was happening. We're going to talk about that coming up in just a second. First, there is a sound that never leaves you. It's not loud, it's not dramatic. It's just the quiet rustle of an elderly woman in Jerusalem. Shuffle. Shuffling through a cupboard, trying to find anything, anything to eat. There's no food, no. No family around the house. Just lonesome silence. She's a survivor of some of the worst things that have ever been done to man. One of the last living links to a moment the world promised never to forget. And there she is, forgotten. Alone and hungry. One of the reasons I partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is that they haven't forgotten. They step in with where no one else will. Bring food, warmth, medicine and love to the elderly Jews in Israel. And it isn't just charity. It's prophecy in action. Christians and Jews standing together, blessing one another, fulfilling scripture in real time. You want to make a real impact? Feed somebody who thought they were completely alone in the world. Show them through your giving. They're not alone. The fellowship makes it possible. Now make it personal. Give a gift, any gift, to bless Israel. Enter people by visiting supportifcj.org perhaps it'll help you soften your heart just a little bit. It's one word, supportifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCj. So last night, Jews all over the world gathered. So I want you to picture Jerusalem 2000 years ago at Passover. And the air is heavy with the aroma of unleavened bread. And the streets are buzzing because people have come from all over Israel to be there. The sun sinks. It's casting a golden glow. But a shadow is hanging over one man. Because he knows what's coming. Jesus. What must his. What must the weight of last night have been like for the man? Jesus? Because he knows what's ahead. The nails, the thorns, all of it. Yet he presses on. Why? Because that's the deal he made. That he loves us. He was the one that could bring us back home. That's tremendous love. And a love so relentless that it defies death itself. So it's Thursday night. Passover meal. Jesus gathers his 12 disciples in an upper room. Oil lamps are flickering, casting long shadows. They eat. They laugh. They're unaware of the betrayal that is sitting at the same table with them. Them. And Jesus breaks the bread. His hands aren't shaky. His voice is steady. His eyes are heavy. And he says something that must have been very odd. This is my body broken for you. They each have some of the bread. Then he lifts the wine. This is my blood shed for you. What was going through their mind? Remember, they're looking for the Messiah. They. Some of them believe that he is the Messiah, the Son of God. You know, I can't speak for Judas, but. But they're expecting a warrior and they. They're not expecting this. They're waiting for something big to happen. That. Not this. The weight of it must have been crushing to him, being there alone. Not. Nobody understands. So he goes to Gethsemane. It's an olive grove, and it's right on top of the hill that overlooks the Temple Mount. And he leaves the apostles just, he says, pray with me. And he leaves them. And he goes off himself. And he collapses to his knees under the twisted branches of these trees. And the moon is hanging low by now, the. The night silent, except perhaps for his silent and ragged breathing. And that's when he says, father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. You know, it says that blood came out of every pore. And I never understood that. I thought maybe it was a metaphor or something when I was younger. It's actually. It's not a metaphor. It's a real, very rare condition where extreme stress will rupture all of the capillaries right underneath your skin. So you actually sweat blood. That's the pressure he was under. His body had to have been trembling and racked with anguish and pain. He's not just sweating, he's bleeding all of us clean. He. He begs for escape. And then he knows. And he says, your will, not mine. Why? Because he knew we were going to need it. And here we are with our secrets, our shame. He saw us. And he chooses the cross. And Judas slinks in his kiss. He knew. He said somebody earlier, some. The one person at this table is going to betray me tonight. So the soldiers swarm him. Torches are blazing, swords are drawn. Peter grabs one of the swords and he actually cuts the ear off of one of the soldiers. And Jesus stops him. Stop it. That's not my path. And he picks up the ear and he hears. He heals the soldier. They bind him. They drag him through the streets. Sanhedrin's trials, just total farce. False witnesses, you know, spit, fists, everything else. Caliphus sneers, are you the Son of God? And Jesus says something that seals his fate. You have said it yourself. Truth, not blasphemy. Truth that saves us, not him. So by dawn, he's before Pilate, bloodied and silent. This happens. Go back and forth until about this time of day. And the crowd is beginning to gather, and they're screaming, crucify him. And Pilate washes his hands, but no water erases that stain. Jesus is then scourged. Whips studded with metal just shred his skin. I'm on my way in Two weeks to see the Shroud of Turin, the actual Shroud of Turin. And I believe that to be actually the burial clothes. After you study it a little bit, just even a little bit, and you see what has been done to prove or disprove. And the best they can say is, you know, on the. On the negative side is, I don't know. I don't know how it happens. They mock him. They drape him in a purple robe. His back is just shredded, his legs on both sides, his chest. They jam a crown of thorns into his scalp. And these aren't little like roses. These are. I think they're called Bethlehem thorns. And they're like three, four inches. And they just push it into his scalp. Blood is streaming down his face now, but he still has burning eyes. Purpose for you. The cross. Part of the cross laid across his shoulders. Splintered. It's heavy. He stumbles. Every single step is a testament to love. Somebody's pulled out of the crowd. Simon is pulled out of the crowd, is forced to carry it. But Jesus is still bearing all the weight of what's coming. At Golgotha, the place of the skull, nails are actually put through his wrists and then through his. His feet. You imagine what that felt like, to just have the, the, this. The vibration of that hammering. And I've always seen when they slide the cross into the ground and. And it settles, you know, his shoulder was dislocated, they think, in the streets. So. You know, the only way you breathe on a cross is you have to force yourself to stand up straight as much as you can, because once you start to sag down, your lungs start to collapse. And so with a dislocated shoulder, he's pulling himself up so he can breathe. Geez. Sky is darkening now. He's. He's executed with two thieves, one on each side. One mocks him. The other one says, remember me. And at that moment, Jesus is offering grace. Can you imagine? Today you'll be with me in paradise. He's dying and he's saving. He sees his mom standing below. John is beside her. Grace again. Jesus looks down and says, woman, behold your son. Love. Even in agony, the crowd jeers, save yourself. Save yourself. If you're God, save yourself. He doesn't. Because of us, because of me, because of you. He saw us. He knew we were going to need this. He takes it. For him to really be man and suffer, he had to be separated from God at this point. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? God didn't Turn away from him. He turned from the sin that he was bearing. Our sin. And at the ninth hour, he just says, it is finished. Victory, not defeat. The debt is paid. The temple veil tears. God's presence is unleashed. The earth quakes, rocks split. A centurion stands at the foot and says, surely this was the son of God. They pierce his side just to make sure that he's dead. Joseph of Arimathea lays him in a tomb and they sealed him up, sealing hope away. The disciples have no idea what's going on. No idea. They're hunted now. Are we going to die like that? I thought he was the Savior. What is happening now? He's dead. Nothing more humiliating than being crucified to a tree. That was the most humiliating thing that could happen. That's clearly not the Savior. The disciples scatter, broken. The world falls silent. Is this the end? No more in a minute. You know, selling your house used to be simple. You mowed the lawn, you vacuumed all the carpets, you shoved everything into a closet and nobody noticed. Done. Now, mood lighting, seasonal throw pillows, story arc for the dining room. Goal isn't just to sell. It's to make strangers walk in and feel like your home is, you know, a cozy candle commercial. I guess someone has to navigate all of that. And that's why we have real estate agents you can trust. They, we found these real estate agents all across the country. They don't just know the market, they live it. They've done the hard work, they've seen it all. And they, they don't treat your home like it's just an HGTV audition. They, they treat it as a most important sale of your life. If you're buying or selling, don't go it alone. Get somebody who really gets it. Go to real estate agents I trust dot com. That's Real Estate agents I trust dot com. Ten seconds. Station id. So imagine just, just on Easter. I mean, on Palm Sunday. He's riding in triumphant and everybody's so high. And everybody's like, wow, this is going to be great. And now he's dead. Now he's in a tomb. Now it's sealed. It's silent. The apostles are like, what just happened? It's only been 24 hours. Disciples are they hide, hope Buried with Jesus Mary Magdalene weeps Her heart is just raw her world now feels empty but there's a pulse in the air There is a pulse in the air Mary has been sleepless, broken she walks to the tomb sits pre dawn she has spices in her hand to Anoint his body. Final act of love. And the ground quakes. As she gets close, she falters. Her breath catches wise and the stone is rolled back. Now the tomb's mouth is gaping open and her heart lurches. Oh, grave robbers. She runs to Peter and John. She says, they've taken him. They race. John outruns. Peter, peers inside. The linen cloth folded, the head cloth separate but empty. Peter barrels in, baffled. The tomb is hollow. No trace of Jesus anywhere. They leave. Day. Mary is just stunned. She just stays there. She doesn't know. She can't abandon him. Where is he? She's sobbing and the sobs are echoing off the stone. And then there was movement. Two radiant figures are sitting where Jesus was supposed to be laying. Woman, why are you weeping? She turns. She thinks it's a gardener. She says, sir, if you have moved him, just tell me where. It's not a gardener. It's Jesus. And he just says one word. Mary. Soft, alive. Her breath stops. Those eyes. That voice. It's Jesus. Rabbi. Teacher. He's alive. Flesh and bone, scars and all. He says, go tell the others. She runs, bursting. I've seen him. The disciples have locked themselves away, fear choking them. Suddenly, you know Jesus is amongst them. He shows them hands and feet. The nail marks remain, proof of his love. How could he live? This is a very rough and short telling of probably the most important story, not probably the most important story in all of human history. But it's our story. It's the only story, probably, that matters. He's already done all the hard work. He bled literally from every pore, carried our sin, faced the cross, shattered the tomb. Death couldn't hold him. Nothing can. And just like he said, Mary, he's calling your name. I don't need it. I'm fine. And perhaps, maybe that's true for you right now. But there will come a time in all of our lives where despair will overtake us, where our mistakes will just seem to be just too overwhelming. Lay it down. Lay down all the lies that you now believe about yourself. That you're not enough. That your mistakes define you. That you're. That your pain and loneliness are yours forever. Because that's who you are, really, it. They're not with you forever. It is the strangest thing. Everything true with God is usually the opposite. Don't fight. Surrender. Surrender. It's hard to let go of the shame that you've carried your whole life or the new. The wounds you've nursed, the voices that you whisper to yourself, because that's that's at least it was in my life. That's all. You know, they've probably been with you for so long that you believe that that's all you are. And without them, what are you? Nothing. There's nothing else inside. I'm not good enough. There is nothing else good inside. I'm just. This lies. This Easter, I just want to leave you with this message. I've made that awful, awful journey. And it is not easy, but it is so worth it. This weekend I encourage you to listen, to hear his voice. Soft as it was for Mary, fierce as it was on the cross. Let it go. Come to me. Step out of the shadows. Lay down the weight. It's not about being perfect. It's about being his. And he's already paid the price. He's fought the battle, won the victory. Now all you have to do is surrender. Because he is alive. He is waiting, scars and all. Open arms, come to him. Give it all up and walk away. Surrender and live. This is Glenn. Becky. So pain doesn't wait until it's convenient for you for you to appear. You know, it just shows up at the gym, at your job, you know, when you're getting out of bed, trying to spend some time with your family. And when it sticks around, it starts taking things from you.

Glenn Beck (112:22)

It's Good Friday. One last story on a faith. I was reading a reading an article about Tammy Peterson, the wife of Jordan Peterson Last year she walked into a Catholic church and embraced a new faith. She was a survivor of cancer and she found, you know, solace in the rosaries ritual, you know, the beads and their rhythmic prayers and all of that. And it gave her peace through all of the fear that she had. And she shared this last year with a Catholic Herald interview. And she's not alone. A New York Post article this week reports a surge in young people converting to Catholicism with year over year converts increasing from 30 to 70%. The Archdiocese of Fort Worth says there was a 72% jump in converts in the last year. Something is happening and I think it's ritual. You know, Barack Obama knows, said his wife, that we're gonna have to change everything. We're gonna have to train, change our traditions, our language, our history, rituals bring things back together at a time when we are told, you know, if you disagree with your family, don't get together with your family. Those rituals that you do as a family are very important. They're deeply human. And they're not just Catholic traditions or relics of the past. They're everywhere. A bride walking down the aisle, a soldier saluted at a ceremony, even the way we light candles in honor to, to honor the dead. They mark moments that matter in our lives and they help organize things in our mind. And rituals in Catholicism, the Eucharist or the confession, elevate this instinct, this need to the sacred. So it's not just, it's not just a routine. It is a bridge to meaning. And that matters because when you have meaning and there's a storm in your life, it gives structure so it doesn't feel like the storm is just going to wipe you out entirely. There was a study in 2013 in Scientific American, an article by a psychologist that explained that rituals, religious or not, reduce anxiety, steady us after lost and boost confidence before big moments. And you look at this, I mean, it's not faith based, but think of athletes with a pre game routine or just a child calmed by a bedtime story. Rituals amplify this. New York Post noted that young converts now, especially Gen Z, crave quoting the clarity and certainty, rejecting the quote, lax alternatives of modern worship. Why? Because modern worship tells you you can believe anything. There are no real rules. God will just take you as you are and I mean he will, warts and all. But you got to do a little something. Try this on for size. How alive is the church over in England? Is it ever been alive? Church attendance among 18 to 24 year olds has jumped from 4% in 2018 to 16% in 2024. I'd say there's something going on here. And experts are saying it is a hunger for substance. And for Tammy Peterson, it was the rosary. That was her lifeline. And, you know, whatever it is, but whatever the ritual is, you don't have to be a Catholic or anything, whatever you are. But what if we all leaned into our rituals a little bit more because they're university, they're universal. I mean, think of the. Think of the little things that we do every day. The morning coffee poured in the same way in the same cup every day. A family holiday tradition. A quiet moment of prayer every day. Rituals build communities, like a congregation singing together in unison or a neighborhood block party. They mark time. They give us milestones. Baptisms, graduations, funerals. We now live in a world of screen and rush and. And rituals slow us down. You don't have time. Yeah, you do. That's exactly what you need. Rituals. They'll slow you down, make you present in the moment. They're not about rules. They're all about meaning if you do it right. This isn't about recognizing, you know, one faith over another. This is about recognizing what rituals do for us. The New York Post highlights how young people facing perma conflict. It's perma conflict and secular individualism see traditional Catholicism as cultural defiance. And you don't have to be a Catholic to find this. Maybe your ritual is. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it can shape your heart and your day. And as we head to Easter this weekend, as we head to our. Hopefully you're attending your Easter service this weekend. Take time to find your family's ritual. And I say that my kids are scattered everywhere, and I'm having to go to Washington on Sunday. And for the first time, I think in my life, I'm not together with my whole family on Easter. And I hate that. Hate that. You know, things happen in life. But no matter what faith you are, I mean, we can all learn from each other. We are all part of one big body and one big effort because I believe the other side. As we started this show, we started talking about this really evil editorial, this op ed on Substack that was talking about, you know, when do we start killing people? Hello, there is evil. We are witnessing the growth of evil. But I just gave you some stats that show. Yeah, but good stuff is happening, too. Generation Z is the hero generation. You watch, you watch. They will put this back together. Just no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing this weekend, if you're a believer, just say it out loud this weekend to somebody. He's risen. Just share it with somebody. Just share the peace. Live your ritual. Whatever it is, live your ritual. It's so important. Let me go to Abby, who's been holding since last hour. Abby, I'm sorry to make you wait so long. Welcome.

Abby (119:30)

Hi. It's okay. I was calling about the miracles. And I wanted to tell you a story about my daughter. When she was born, she was born perfectly healthy. She started vomiting at three days old. Constantly. And at six days old, I laid her down and just fed her a bottle. And she started choking in her bassinet next to my bed. I fly out of bed, and by the time I scream, she's already blue. And she's completely blue. My mom comes running upstairs because she was visiting us and she started CPR. My husband was on the phone with 91 1. And I heard this voice, very loud voice. Abby takes the nasal thing and the aspirator and stick it down her throat. And I was like, oh, that's weird. Then I heard it again, and it was even louder. And so I told my mom to stop cpr. Paramedics were on their way, and I shoved that thing all the way down her throat, and I pulled out tons of vomit. And by the time the paramedics got there, she was breathing. She wasn't blue any longer, and she was pink and as happy as can be.

Glenn Beck (120:31)

It's amazing.

Abby (120:31)

It was a true miracle.

Glenn Beck (120:33)

Yeah.

Abby (120:34)

Yes.

Glenn Beck (120:34)

It's truly amazing. Truly amazing. And when you heed those voices, I mean, as long as those voices are telling you to do something good, you know, like, hey, go steal that. No, that's not. That's not the right voice to listen to. But when you listen to those voices, it is. I mean, it is. So you just know you're not alone. You know there's something bigger than just you. It's an amazing thing. Amazing. Thank you, Abby. I appreciate it. All right, gonna take a break. Come back with final Thoughts in just a second. First, let me tell you. Layer Capital Stu. What is gold at today?

Stu Burguiere (121:07)

I don't know. Let me check. You remember the all time high. I know that.

Glenn Beck (121:10)

Do you remember 2010? I was talking to a friend, Mark Alberian. And we were talking, I said, can you imagine if gold was 3 to $5,000 an ounce? And he said, don't. Don't. Don't ever even say that. Don't. Don't say that. And I said, why? He said $3,000 an ounce. Glenn, do you know what the world's going to be like at 3,000? At 5,000, it's. It's just. It's insanity at 3,000. I don't even know what the world needs to look like when it's 3,000. Well, it's 3, $300 an ounce now.

Stu Burguiere (121:40)

3,341.

Glenn Beck (121:41)

Currently 3,341. I mean it was. When was it that it crossed over 2000 and everybody's like, ah, goal. It's just not going anywhere. It's a 2000. It'll crash after 2000. Yeah, it wasn't. How can you zoom out on that chart and see?

Stu Burguiere (121:57)

Yeah, it's just.

Glenn Beck (121:58)

It wasn't that long ago.

Stu Burguiere (122:01)

Clunky on the chart here. Here we go. Five years. Okay. 2000. I mean 2000 was crossed 2024. Beginning of 2024.

Glenn Beck (122:10)

2024. That's last year it was crossing $2,000 an ounce. Now it's $3,300 an ounce. I don't know. Something's happening, gang.

Stu Burguiere (122:21)

That long term chart.

Glenn Beck (122:23)

Scary.

Stu Burguiere (122:23)

It's going up, up, up, up, up.

Glenn Beck (122:25)

Yeah, something is happening. My grandfather used to always say, say, what are the rich people know that I don't know? Here are the rich people that are buying gold. It's a lot of the central banks, okay, what do they know that you don't know? What is it? Boy, I'd like to live in a boring world, but we're not living in one right now. Call lear capital today. 800-957-gold. Before this thing just goes unhinged. 800-957-gold. 800-957-gold. Get your free report. $4200 gold. You know, a year ago I was talking about the $4200 gold report. It wasn't even 2000. And I was like, well, that's, that's, that's. I mean you don't want it to be $4200. I hope it doesn't get. Well, I mean, what's the world gonna have to be like before we're almost there? Call 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. Also, ask him how to get $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. 800-957-Gold. This is Glenn back. I had a great time with Patricia Heaton and her husband, Patricia Heaton. It was the mom on Everybody Loves Raymond. I think she's hysterical. She's now doing the new. She's the main squeeze for Frasier on the new Frasier. She's fantastic in that too. Anyway, I had her on the podcast, along with her husband, David Hunt, to talk about unexpected. It's one of the movies that they have put out and discussed marriage, infertility, ivf, abortion, adoption, surrogacy, you know, sperm counts. We. I mean, we hit it all. We hit it all. She says rfk. The jury's still out on rfk, but she's like, I think he's moving in the right direction. Something is wrong. Um, she talks about the feminist movement and how it's just been really damaging for women. Huge problems with socialism. David says our education system is in need of massive reform. And then we talk about Hollywood values, as he said, kind of an oxymoron. The conversation turns to Israel. I mean, we. We covered everything, everything with Patricia Heaton. She rarely speaks out unless it's just about life. And we talked about that. But I was shocked at how open both of them were on. On every topic. So you don't want to miss it. It's tomorrow's podcast. It's episode 254, How God Helped Everybody. Love Raymond Starr Razor Kids on the Glenn Beck podcast. It's out tomorrow.

Stu Burguiere (125:17)

I noticed you've been ignoring the big story of the day.

Glenn Beck (125:19)

Have I?

Stu Burguiere (125:20)

Yeah. That Senator Van Hollen was able to finally meet with the Maryland father who was abducted by the United States government and taken to an El Salvador prison against the law.

Glenn Beck (125:36)

I saw the pictures of him meeting with. With the Maryland father. Were they having margaritas?

Stu Burguiere (125:45)

This is actually a really funny thing that came out of this, which is they're sitting there talking, and in front of them are glasses with salted rims and cherries.

Glenn Beck (125:55)

Yeah, yeah.

Stu Burguiere (125:57)

Now everyone's saying, I can't believe they're sipping margaritas. Bukele actually tweeted about it and said, oh, they're sipping margaritas in this tropical paradise of El Salvador. The reporting from behind the scenes was according to a person familiar with the situation. A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of them in attempt to stage the photo.

Glenn Beck (126:17)

Oh, my God.

Stu Burguiere (126:17)

Which, if that's true, it's really funny.

Glenn Beck (126:19)

Oh, my gosh, that is crazy.

Stu Burguiere (126:21)

Also, like, do you garnish a margarita with a cherry? I don't know where that occurs. I've never had one with that particular garnish, but maybe it's possible. But if that's what it is, and they were just trolling. I find it hilarious that being Said this guy who's. All he's trying to do is make a name for himself and get social media attention going down there to meet with him. I don't know what this is accomplishing. I mean, I'd argue nothing.

Glenn Beck (126:48)

Nothing. I mean, honestly, it's, I think, making the Democrats look more and more out of touch every day that goes by. They're on the wrong side of almost everything.

Stu Burguiere (127:00)

Yeah. In a way, you're sort of luring them into backing the guy who might be a MS.13 gang member. It's odd, though. Of course I want us to get these things right. I mean, the Trump administration has admitted they weren't supposed to do this. This was a mistake. I don't think, as some are saying on the left, that it was an intentional act. I think it is what they said it was. I think it was an administrative mistake, an error. I do think that if they really wanted him back, they could probably get him. I'm pretty sure they could convince Bukele to send him back if they really wanted to. I don't think they really want to. And I. At this point, I think they're just annoyed by the left enough to not ask.

Glenn Beck (127:39)

Can I ask you something? Warren, Elizabeth Warren, has been bashing JFK or sorry, RFK for, you know, him saying that we're going to find the root of autism. And she's like, autism is created. Let me just do this. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation's greatness, to every kid with autism. I'm in this fight all the way for you. Oh, shut up. Stop it. I mean, these are the people who are pushing for, you know, we've gotta. We've gotta kill all of the babies that might have down syndrome.

Stu Burguiere (128:13)

I mean, please, you can't take anything.

Glenn Beck (128:16)

From Elizabeth Warren so bad.

Stu Burguiere (128:18)

It is an interesting twist in this conversation, though. Like, they're seemingly trying to go down some road of saying that, like, oh, people who are affected with very deep autism, that because there's wide, widespread, like.

Glenn Beck (128:31)

Peter Thiel, like Elon Musk, there's a.

Stu Burguiere (128:33)

Wide, wide spectrum, as you know. I mean, like, there are some people who really, really struggle with daily life. I will say a large portion of the people now that are diagnosed as autistic, I. I don't even notice. I mean, that's not to say that it's not a real thing, of course, but it's also, like, people included are very functional and having situations that are pretty typical of a normal childhood in a lot of these situations as well. It's a wide spectrum.

Glenn Beck (129:00)

I mean, can we stop, like add. And I know it's a big difference between these. It's not the thing to stop. Well, the theme music is coming up, but.

Stu Burguiere (129:10)

Longer conversation.

Glenn Beck (129:11)

Yeah, much longer conversation. But can we stop looking at everything as a mistake or a curse? You know, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, they both kind of contributed a lot to our society. You know, that doesn't mean we don't look for the cause of it and try to stop it. But, you know, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Glenn Beck.
