It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug. Uh, Limu is that guy with the binoculars watching us. Cut the camera. They see us. Only pay for what you need@libertymutual.com Liberty Liberty Liberty Liberty Savings vary unwritten by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and affiliates Excludes Massachusetts. Today's podcast. Oh, well, the long version kind of goes into the five stages of the debt cycle and how we survive as a nation. And that that one took a whole hour of the podcast today and you need to listen to that. If you're interested, grab it on the long form podcast. But on the best of you're going to hear about finding meaning as we head into the holiday season and why that's important to find meaning. Also, I kind of blew a gasket a couple of places. One just trying to set the record straight on Churchill and Hitler. It's not this difficult. So I do that. And then, oh my gosh, then I got into this Mark Kelly story where, you know, he's ashamed of our Secretary of War and what kind of what are our allies thinking? What are our enemies thinking abroad with him? Really? Really? Because I have a question for you on that one, Mark Kelly, and you'll hear that in today's podcast. First, let me tell you about American financing. Every family has that, that number they're afraid to look at. You know, that's the total that you're spending on interest every month. You know it's there, you know it's too high and it's eating away at the money that should be going to your life, not some bank's bottom line. Most people think about getting out of debt or lowering a pay a payment requires some huge drastic change, but sometimes it doesn't. It just takes somebody who understands how these loans actually work. In American financing, they don't work for the banks, they work for you. They're specialists that can look at your situation and say, here, right here, right here. This is where you're bleeding money and here's how we fix it. Often, in fact, everybody who is working with them from this audience, the average is saving $830 every month because they picked up the phone and called them and said, can you help me with this? 830 bucks. That's, you know, that's like a $10,000 raise. That's quite a nice raise to give yourself. All you have to do is call them now. 8009-0624-4080-0906-2440 or go to americanfinancing.net nmls182334nmlsconsumeraccess.org apr.

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program. You know, as I'm looking at today's show and I'm trying to put everything together in a way that is consumable for you, something that we will help you, help you understand, give you information that you can't really find anyplace else, and put you ahead of the game. So, you know, I've always felt my job is to put you in a situation to where you can be the guide. You're not going to be surprised what happens next because you've already heard it, you've thought about it, you, you know, digested it. And when it happens, you can be the person that goes, no, no, no, don't go that way. Come this way. And as I'm looking at, because I'm going to talk a little bit about socialism probably in our number three today and what our kids are thinking about socialism. And in some ways, it's inevitable. Of course they're thinking that, but there's also byproducts of that. There's also what, what led them to socialism is the seeing that nothing has meaning, that we built. You know, there is this new attitude that is emerging across our culture. It's quiet, it's unsettled. And it's unmistakable. And it's the realization that the world that we have built doesn't build us. You know, it's meaningless. And in this last century, we have mistaken abundance for purpose. And we've stacked up skyscrapers and stitched supply chains together across continents. And we filled warehouses, you know, the size, honestly, have you seen some of the warehouses that Amazon has built? Their size of small nation, it feels like. And they're filled with everything, every object the human heart could possibly desire. And then we stand by and we ask, why is the human heart starving? Because our heart doesn't need any of that crap that's in that Amazon warehouse. We in the past 100 years. And we're all coming to the same conclusion, I think, at the same time. But it will lead us into different paths. We have taught our children to chase two gods, wealth and fame. Okay? The two most fragile currencies ever created. And we ask our kids, what do you want to be? I've railed on this forever. When you have a young kid, the typical question is, what do you want to be when you grow up? You want to be a doctor? An athlete? Influencer, A billionaire? You could be president. That's the wrong question to ask. Who do you want to be when you grow up? Who do you want to be? What virtues do you want to embody? What kind of strength will you carry? What kind of courage do you hope to live out? We don't teach character, we teach branding, which is empty. Empty. Notice brands don't mean anything anymore. Logos don't mean anything anymore. They're empty. Everybody knows that. We've neglected the soul and instructed them in self promotion. And then we wonder why an entire generation feels unmoored and suicidal, living in a world wired for dopamine, not dignity, dopamine. But as I said, something remarkable is happening. People are beginning to say, you know enough. Not with anger, not with pitchforks, hopefully, but with a quiet rediscovery. That meaning doesn't come from what you own, but from what you honor. This Thanksgiving, I sat with my son and we were up till about 2 o' clock in the morning. We had watched planes, trains and automobiles. And then we just sat there and we talked. And he started talking about school and he just can't seem to find his way. And there's a million kids like this. He's so smart, he's got everything going for him, but he just can't find his thing. And it's hard because his dad knew his thing when he was 8. And I remember when Rafe was 13 years old, he was with a friend. We were in Los Angeles, and he was walking behind me with a friend and I was with somebody else. And my friend said to him, as I was told later, so what are you planning on? What are you thinking about doing? What are your goals? And. And my son said, are you kidding me? Thirteen, are you kidding me? And then he pointed to me and he said, how do you compete with that? My friend told me this and I was heartbroken. I went to him and I'm like, rafe, Rafe, you're not competing with me. I won the lottery. I won the lottery. The odds of my success are impossible. They're impossible. It's not about success. But it's hard to get that lesson to a kid when that's what the world is preaching. Success, success, success. And so we were talking, I said, how you doing in school? And we were talking and he said, you know, dad, I'm not like you. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I was 8. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know. I just want to do something that is meaningful to me. And he's putting up all kinds of roadblocks in his life, Etc, Etc, and, you know, we all do. And I said, wait a minute, Rafe, don't make the same mistake I made because I did know what I want. Because I knew what I want. By the time I was 30, I had pursued it relentlessly. And every time I hit a milestone, it wasn't enough. And by the time I was 30, I was an alcoholic, I was out of control, and I had just destroyed my whole life because I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. And it was empty when I got there. And I said, now you're destroying yourself because you can't find what you want to do. Maybe, perhaps, and this is just a perhaps, I don't know, maybe, perhaps we both got it wrong. That meaning is not found in what we do. Meaning is not found in our success or our failure. Meaning is found elsewhere. Maybe I was pursuing it in a way that was destructive and now you're pursuing in a different direction that is destructive because it's not based on meaning. There is a hunger for the one meaning that we have really tried to find. You know, whether it's whispered or unspoken, that hunger for the one meaning that we have tried to find, we've also erased it. The truth is, we didn't build a world without purpose. We built a world without God. I wanted to start with, because we're in the Christmas season, how do we find meaning again? Because we're not going to find it with a revolution. We're not going to find it by burning the world down. By remembering what was buried on the, you know, or left on the floor of Macy's and Walmart. Somewhere between Black Friday and Doorbusters and, you know, aisle five markdowns. We. We've. We've lost the gift of craftsmanship, the gift of time, the gift of stories, the gift of presence, the gift of gratitude, the gift of wonder, and the gift of God stepping into humanity and saying, you can start all over again. And I hope that as we're waking up to this place where there is no meaning in so many people's lives, that that is what we find. Because that's what this time of year is supposed to remind us. Instead of saying, what should I buy? Maybe we should ask, what lasts? What has real meaning? What will help this person find meaning? What will help me find meaning by giving it to them? Instead of running our fingers over glass, glossy packaging, we pick up something with memory attached to it. An heirloom, a handwritten letter, a book that shaped our life. A framed photo of a moment we nearly forgot, that once we remembered, we're like, oh, my gosh, that was so important. Look for gifts that tell your child, I see who you're becoming and I believe in you. A gift that whispers, this is a piece of our story. Carry it forward. A gift that says, I made this and I thought of you while I did it. Maybe the most meaningful thing we can give this year is that conversation like I had with my son by the fire after Thanksgiving. Or an apology that you've been waiting decades to express. Or forgiveness that you never imagine offering. Maybe it's time to teach the meaning behind all of it. The meaning behind the season itself. You know, when my kids were really small, too, and you can make fun of me, mock me, or call me cheap, but my kids, on Christmas, I used to just give them boxes all wrapped up with bows, filled with paper. Because at 2 years old, they didn't know what the gift was. They had no idea. They just like the bows and the wrapping and the unwrapping and the boxes of paper. That was fun for them. That's all they knew needed. But I think in some ways, that's what we're giving each other. Even though we put something in that box, that's what we've turned this holiday into. We keep the bows, we keep the paper, we keep the boxes, but we've taken the real meaning, the baby Jesus, out of the picture. So we've removed the reason for the box and the wrapping. And so when we're done, we're left with empty boxes, empty gifts, empty hearts. And we're like, I was kind of empty. Meaning is still here. It's always been here. We move. It doesn't. It's not found in tearing down the world. It's found in rebuilding the smallest, most sacred corner of it. The home, the table, the family circle, the individual, the friend, the family member that is lost. As we talk today about what we have to do to rebuild our world, let's start with rebuilding the meaning. The same way that every civilization has one virtue at a time, one tradition at a time, one generation at a time. If you're going shopping, don't look for the gifts that flash. Give the gift that will endure. Give the gift that will outlive you. Give the gift that remind your children not what they should be, but who they're meant to become. Give them the gift that began this season in the first place. The reminder that God himself stepped into the world and handed humanity the one gift that we can never outgrow, we can never out use. It should never lay dusty, because I need it every single day. And that is forgiveness. Because forgiveness inside of that gift is hope. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. There is a moment most people with chronic pain know all too well, and it's that second, right? You know when you wake up before your body reminds you what hurts. For that split second, everything feels normal. And then you move and the stiffness and the aches and the pains and everything else you're like. And your day starts with the agony that you didn't ask for. If that's your reality, Relief Factor may be exactly what you need. Relief Factor has been built for that kind of pain. It doesn't grab the headlines, you know, but it. But it doesn't. It. It controls your life. That daily persistent inflammation that makes simple things feel so difficult. It's a daily support formula created to help your body reduce that inflammation naturally so you can get back to moving and working and living without feeling like you're fighting your own joints. When your pain eases, your mood changes. You take the stairs without thinking about it. You say yes to the things used to turn down. It's not about turning you into somebody new. It's about giving your life back to you. Give the three week quick start a try. It's 1995. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. That's 1-800-the-number four relief. Reliefactor.com this is the best of the Glenn Beck program. So I don't know if you saw this, but you know Luigi Mangione, he arrives at the courthouse yesterday. Now, he's the guy who, you know, I would say was accused of murdering a CEO of United Healthcare, but the video is clear. He murdered the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a guy who was actually trying to reform things on the inside. Okay? Dozens of fans went to the courthouse just so they could catch a glimpse of this, you know, their hero. And it was grotesque. It was really, really grotesque. Meanwhile, at the same time, if you've noticed, we are villainizing the National Guard. The facts speak for themselves. Let's just look for D.C. since they were deployed in the District of Columbia August 11th, there have been 24 homicides. Compared to last year, same time period, 61 homicides. That means the National Guard being there has saved 43 lives. And I would bet many of them black lives. So I would like to ask, first of all, do black lives matter? Why are these guys all of a sudden being vilified? Ice, Same thing. Every single one of us have felt the strain of what's going on. You can't just let 10, 12 million people into our country and then still expect to have a job for you, still expect to have space in schools or resources in schools for your kids. The lack of resources in the hospitals, the lack of food in the food banks. Of course it's happening. You know, you want to know why your housing is so expensive? One reason is you can't move 10 million people in overnight and expect that your rent is not going to become more competitive because there's 10 million other people that want to rent a house. Okay? They need apartments, too. How is it that this is all disconnected from people? Ice is the bad guy. How is Ice the bad guy? Unfortunately, I think because of political reasons. But. And part of this is because of the Bubba effect. Okay? We know the healthcare system is broken. And so people join this bandwagon. They're like, yeah, well, I don't know anything about that CEO, but I'm glad somebody stood up and did something about it. Yeah, well, they killed him. They murdered him in cold blood. And he was not a bad guy. He was a good guy. So part of this is the Bubba effect. The system is broken, but it's more than that as well. These, these people ice the National Guard and on the flip side, Mangion, they're symbols. They are symbols of justice or injustice. Okay, that's the Bubba effect. But the problem here is, is we're using collectivism to make those symbols. We're not actually even looking for the actual real merit from the individual. It's just the collective act. Ah, somebody killed them. Good. These people are not. They're not symbols, they're people. Woe to those who call good evil and evil good. Yesterday I saw something online and I'm not gonna make any of this about personalities because I am not going to get into a personality fight. I think it is ridiculous. We should be fighting on principles. But I saw an interview yesterday talking about Hitler again. Trying to make Hitler into the good guy and Winston Churchill into the bad guy. I just don't get it. I really don't get it. History, real history, is not a choose your own adventure kind of thing. It's ink on paper, orders in filing cabinets, telegrams, diaries, bodies. It's what actually happened, not what we hope happened. So let me just set the record straight on something again that is circulating and it, it just. Somebody just has to calmly just say what the truth is. The thing is now that, that Hitler had no intention toward the west, that Britain didn't have to enter the war. That Winston Churchill, not Adolf Hitler, is the villain who dragged the world into conflict. Let me, let me just say this calmly, factually and finally. Germany's plans for Poland were not reactive, they were premeditated. The argument says that Britain roped the west into war by promising to defend Poland. No. Germany had already prepared to destroy Poland long before Neville Chamberlain ever made a pledge. How do I know this? Because in my history vault I have one of the clearest pieces of proof. It's called Fall Vice. It's Hitler's operational blueprint for the invasion of Poland, drafted in 1938, a year before Chamberlain said, we're going to guarantee their safety. So Poland was not a spontaneous reaction. Hitler was a liar. I know that's hard to get your hand around, but your arms around. But Hitler was a liar. It was not about German minorities. It was not about self determination, it was about conquest. A step in Hitler's explicitly stated roadmap. Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, then the East. Britain didn't pull Germany into war. Germany was already marching toward war, global war. The second thing that has to be said, clearly Hitler didn't have designs on Britain in the West. Really? Well, Hitler wanted peace with Britain. Really Cuz we have the paper trail again. No, no, no. He wanted peace. He. He had no Western ambitions. Well, how do you explain Operation Sea Lion, Hitler's detailed plan to invade and occupy Great Britain? You don't drop amphibious landing schedules across the English Channel just in case. And before that, Hitler deployed a different strategy, diplomacy and subterfuge. In May 1941, the Deputy Fuhrer, Rudolph Hess. That's a. That's a name. Flew solo. Solo Into Scotland, hoping to secure a deal with sympathetic elements in Great Britain. He parachuted down. He claimed he was carrying an offer. Let Hitler dominate Europe and Germany would leave Britain alone. Well, that sounds really peaceful. Unless you forget what Hitler meant by dominance. He meant dismantling sovereign nations, annihilating Jews, the Slavs, the, the. The gypsies. Any political appoint opponent. Millions of human beings, just eliminate them. In what world, in what world could a democratic nation be friends with that? Britain had internal Nazi sympathizers and Hitler counted on them. Hess wasn't flying blind. Hitler believed Britain was divided. And he was right. You know why he was right again. In my vault, I have it from Hitler's own schedule. That was on his assistant's desk the whole time. Now you have the name and the time that he arrived. Former King Edward. He abdicated in 36. He had clear documented sympathies for the Nazi regime. He met Hitler in 37. I know, I have the documents. He was courted as a possible puppet monarch. He said, reinstall me and you can do what you want. I'll help you. The Nazi files recovered after the war show explicit German plans to reinstall him after an occupation. Hitler was not avoiding conflict with Britain, he was planning its subversion. Well, yeah, but Hitler's ideology, you know, made friendship with the west possible. What? Even if you pretend not to see the invasion plans and the Hess mission and the internal sympathizers, even if you erased every map, memo and military order, Hitler's ideology made an alliance with the, with the western democracies absolutely impossible. And I'm going to get to Stalin here in a second. But hear me, hear me on this. Hitler believed the state was supreme, that the German people existed for the Reich. In America, the Constitution is supreme and it exists to limit the states. Rights come from the Fuhrer and the government in Germany. In America, rights come from God. And the government is the servant, not the master, the individual. In Germany expendable. The west is built on the sanctity of the individual. Racial hierarchy is destiny in Germany. The west at Its best rejects racial supremacy. The declaration starts with, all men are created equal. Not some races are destined to rule. There are nowhere in our documents to say the state must expand endlessly. That's not compatible with anything. Anything. You cannot align with a regime whose foundational premise is that human dignity is a myth. Well, the west chose Stalin because we thought he was better. No, no, we chose survival. People are arguing now that the Allies should have sided with Hitler instead of Stalin. No rational reading of history supports any of that. Hitler and Stalin were both monstrous. Monstrous. And the Ribbentrop pack proved that they were natural partners in evil. Carving up Poland like a holiday roast. Okay, but here's the brutal truth. Once Hitler launched Operation Barbasoa. Is that. Was that what it's called, Stu? You know, Barbara soa, right? When he turned Barbarossa. Barbarossa. When they turned to Russia, the question for us was no longer, hey, which dictator is better? The question was, which outcome prevents Hitler from ruling all of Europe? Because if Hitler defeated the Soviet Union, the resources of the east, all the oil, all the grain, all the industry, all the manpower, would have made the Third Reich unstoppable. So the choice was between two horrors. Which one? Or do you want to stay out and let them get have all of that power? Well, yeah. Nowhere was he an aggressor. He's only one. Hitler had a trajectory of global domination at that time. Also racial extermination and total state worship that could not coexist with Western civilization. We knew at the time Stalin was just as bad. We knew we were going to be in war with Stalin at some point. And you know who really knew that? Winston Churchill. He was the one saying, we can't have this guy as an ally. Britain did not drag the world into war. Hitler did. And so let's go back to the central point. Churchill did not force a war. Chamberlain didn't conjure up a conflict out of thin air. The west didn't provoke Hitler. Hitler provoked history. He's the one who built the camps. If you want to say you don't believe in the caps, God help us all. He's the one who wrote Mein Kampf. He's the one who armed in secret. He invaded without cause. He sought domination, not coexistence. He's to suggest otherwise. I mean, what is your intent to rehabilitate him? Hitler? I mean, you're repeating the arguments Hitler made to excuse his aggression. This is not about defending Churchill, who I think is a hero, but it's about defending the record, the truth. So in our moment of confusion and upheaval and ideological extremism, we don't lose our footing on the bedrock of fact. This is the dangerous door we must not reopen. When we begin to question whether the west should have resisted Hitler, where are we going when we entertain the idea that freedom and tyranny could have coexisted? You're not just rearranging interpretations. You're reopening a door millions died to close. History's not there to flatter us. Did the United States do bad things in World War II? Yep. Did England? Yep. Were we perfect? Nope. Did we do the best we could? Yes. You know, sometimes. Sometimes your only choice is between bad and worse. You cannot allow somebody like Hitler just to continue to grow and grow and grow and gobble resources and then take over the Soviet Union, and then what? Have all of those resources to take the rest of the world. My God. So sorry. I want to just keep this about facts. History is there to warn us, and the warning is really, really simple. Be very careful. When someone tells you the villain wasn't really the villain. Woe unto him who makes evil good and. And good evil. We know who the villains were. The documentation is very clear. Trust me. I have a vault full of it. You want to see it? Come. Otherwise, you're just full of it. When you have somebody telling you the villain is not the villain, that story never ends well. Fix reason firmly in her seat. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. There's a couple of stories here that I think require a little bit of time here going over. First of all, the New York Times. The New York Times has refuted the WaPo reporting on the Hegseth story. Now, if you remember, the Hegseth story from the Washington Post is. Was playing backup to people like Mark Kelly who, you know, were part of that, you know, video where, like, you know, war crimes and you're going to be tried for war crimes. And if you see a war crime in a legal order, you should disobey it. Okay, well, yeah, they're taught that, and everybody should know that. And, you know, again, the Pentagon teaches that to the soldiers. This has never been done by members of Congress. And they were going for something. I don't know what they were going for. But WaPo, of course, you know, sends the message to the rest of the world that, well, it was our Secretary Hegseth who ordered the killing of some people that survived this launch on a boat. They survived. And then Pete called him up and said, kill them and that, that's what Mark Kelly was saying this last weekend. Okay, Washington Post, now the New York Times, not exactly a Trumpy kind of paper, comes out and says, no, we actually have five sources on this. That's not true. That's not what happened. White House responded yesterday and they said, yeah, it was the commander that made that call. It was all within the law, yada yada. So it wasn't Heg Seth who. Then you have Mark Kelly coming on and saying some more things. This one is about the Franklin meme. You know, Franklin the turtle, the kids book about the turtle. Apparently Heg Seth retweeted or tweeted a picture of, you know, like Franklin magazine. And he's, you know, up on an American chopper and he's firing down on, you know, drug runners in a boat. And this causes Mark Kelly to say this possible mission.
- [34:40]
C
And instead he runs around on a stage like he's a 12 year old playing army. And it is ridiculous, it is embarrassing. And I can't imagine what our allies think of looking at that guy in this job. One of the most important jobs in our country, in my view, after the President of the United States, it is the next most important job. He is in the national command authority for nuclear weapons. And last night he's putting out on the Internet turtles with rocket propelled grenades kill. I mean, have you seen this?
- [35:27]
A
It's outrageous. Let me ask you, where were you on the leadership of the Pentagon when they pulled out of Afghanistan? Were you saying, what are our allies thinking about that? How about when what's his face decided to go get. What was it? Surgery? Was out on surgery, didn't alert anyone that he was. What was his name? Lloyd Austin. Right. And he's out on surgery and he doesn't tell anybody. Then he goes on vacation, something happens and they call him. They're like, where are you? And he's like, I'll come back when I come back. Wait, hold it. You want to talk about being in line with the nuclear weapons? What the hell? Where was that one? More importantly, Mr. Kelly, let me ask you, what do you think our allies thought about the health of our nation when several Democratic senators got together and for the first time in American history pulled a Venezuela and questioned the military and said, we will hold you responsible for any crimes against humanity. By the way, we're not telling you what those are. We'll judge when we get back into power. And don't listen to the commander in chief. Let me ask you, if people, if people in the Duma would have made that exact same video and said, question the authority of Putin and if he's telling you to go into Ukraine, that's going to be a war crime and we're going to prosecute you. And, and don't listen to them. And don't listen to he, his Secretary of war either. What do you think? How would we analyze that? Would we think that Putin was strong? Would we think that their society is strong? Would we think that they're a nation that can defend itself, will defend itself, is willing to go to war, does that. Would, would we look at that and go, that's a strong nation, don't screw with them? Or if we had designs on that nation, would we say, you know what, up the pressure, up the pressure, because this thing's about to fly apart. So Mr. Kelly, let me ask you that. Did you think about what our allies might have been saying when you made the video and released it to the world? Bueller, Anybody? Anybody? That, that's the outrage here. The outrage is not that they said it. You go to the Pentagon and say that you can go bring the Joint Chiefs of Staff in and you call them on the carpet and say, look, I gotta tell you something, we're gonna be investigating this if we get control. But you bring them into a private room and you say that with all your like minded senators in a private room, you don't make a video and release it to the world. I, I'll never forget George Bush called me into the Oval Office and he was a little upset. And I had said, you know, you want to impeach the guy, you impeach him on this. Look what he's doing in the Middle east. Look what he's doing. I don't remember what it was, but I said that that is the stuff that at least if it's true, is impeachable. That day I get a call and Mr. Beck, the president would like to see you in the Oval tomorrow. I go in and I knew this was gonna be the longest hour of my life. And I sit down in the, honest to God, it was in the Zelensky chair, okay? And I got from George Bush what Zelensky got from Trump. And he starts out with, a lot of people think they know what it's like to be the President. You don't have no effing idea what it's like. And I was like, oh my gosh, this is going to be very, very long and agonizing. And we get about a half hour into all of this stuff and he's telling me what's actually going on on the ground. And he knows it all. And he's. He's not hesitating. He's not like. And let me search for a word here. None of that. And I screw my scourge courage to the sticking place and say, excuse me, Mr. President. This is the President that America needs to see. This is the guy. Why don't you say these things to the American public? And he goes off on another tirade. And he tells me about how he has made deals with the Pentagon. He's made deals with the military. He's made deals. He also has all of the eyes. Listen to this. All of the eyes of all of the leaders of the world, including all of their intelligence officials. And they watch everything that every major official says in the United States, especially the President. And whatever the President says, they analyze. He said, I look my. I shift my eyes at the wrong time. They think, well, that means he's not saying this. What he's actually saying is this. He's like, I'm. I'm juggling so many things in my head that I can't say or can't do because of X, Y, or Z. And he said, that's the job of the president. Now, whether you agree with that or not doesn't matter. The reason why I tell you that story is Mark Kelly, did you even consider what Five Eyes might be saying about that video? What China. How they might be analyzing that video, how Russia is analyzing that video, how that affects our national stability in this country. Screw. You're trying to, in my opinion, start a color revolution. Screw that. Let's just talk about how does this make us stronger with national defense? You call people into a private room and say that, like has always been done in the United States of America. What you did has never been done in the United. Not at the time of the Civil War even. Never has this been done. Why? Because people respected the Republic. They respected the military. They respected the fact that their voice would be heard by foreigners and foreign nations, many of them adversaries. And so they showed just a modicum of restraint that you, sir, couldn't find. So please don't preach to me about how embarrassing it is that he's putting a cartoon out. Yeah, I'd rather have my secretary of war not put cartoons out. But unfortunately, that's the way of the world now, isn't it? I mean, you know, you can only get attention by people, with people, with doing stupid memes. You didn't need a meme you didn't need a video. You needed all of you to get together and say, we'd like the Joint Chiefs to meet us at the Capitol because they also answer to us and we have a few things to say to them. And then you say it to them privately and you make it very, very clear that's what you should have done. I mean, unless you're trying to collapse the United States, make our enemies stronger. And fomanta Color Revolution, which I'm sure you're what color revolution? I don't even know what that is.
