All right, so best of today. There's there we did three hours, three different topics. You're going to get the best parts of these in the, in the Best of here, this podcast I talked about Alexander Dugan again because there's some new news on what's happening with Candace Owens today. Also kind of had a, you know, back and forth with Glenn Greenwald where I got a lot of heat from people who like me about what I was saying. I, we needed to talk about that. Also a deep dive on data. We'll give you the best of. But if you really are concerned about data centers, I want you to hear me out because there's a lot to talk about. Just the energy problem with data centers that you need to hear and a couple that aborted their down syndrome, baby. We did an hour on this. Here's the Best of.

So continuing our conversation here quickly about Candace Owens and, and what she's doing over in Russia. And the. Really, the story is not about Candace Owens, but it is, she is proving everything that I'm saying is right. Ricky just got a notification. Breaking news that Russian media is now calling Candace Owens. What exactly. Come on, get the quote. The bridge. The bridge, bridge, bridge between. That's right. And don't think of that as the Russian people. Think of that as Putin and Dugan. Remember, Dugan is the guy who just said if it were up to him, he would give every enemy of ours nuclear weapons to vaporize the United States. He is not our friend. He is not our friend. So the latest is Putin himself has just asked Candace Owens to speak today at this convention. So she's just gotten bumped up another level and she's thrilled about it. Okay, you think about whatever, whatever you want. But I just, I'm, I have to speak to those who say yes, but, but Dugan and Putin have it right about our culture. Our culture is evil, blah, blah, blah. I want you to think about the doctor and I just gave you two examples. One, somebody who diagnosed the pain and suffering that mental illness was causing in the United States and said, look, and everybody was like, they're right. These institutions are horrible and these people are suffering horribly and they're tearing themselves apart, blah, blah, blah. And so the doctor who was, I think he didn't I say he got a Nobel Prize for a prize winning doctor says, I have the solution. Ice pick to the eye. That's called a lobotomy. You can diagnose something and say, this is the Problem and be right. But that doesn't mean your solution is right. Then. I told you about the temperance movement. Alcoholism. Trust me, I'm an alcoholic. I know how destructive it can be. My mother committed suicide. She was an alcoholic. I get it. It destroys everything. It's horrible. Destroys families. That's what the temperance movement said. They diagnosed the problem correctly. People get out of control and it destroys families. But then they put in a constitutional amendment and that started all kinds of stuff, including what I just told you. And look it up yourself. Most people don't know it. The United States government started poisoning alcohol with bootleggers. Yeah, well, we'll show em how dangerous it is. They poisoned. They killed Americans. Knowingly, those people should not been anywhere. The cure was wrong, the diagnosis was right. Let me give you one more. 1958, halfway around the world. Mao, he's in China, people are starving, and he makes a diagnosis that was correct, right down to the single grain. He was saying, we have a problem with sparrows. They're eating the harvest. So a nation of hundreds of millions was mobilized to get rid of all of the sparrows. People banged pots and pans from dawn to dusk. The birds could never land until the sparrows just dropped out of the sky, dead from exhaustion. This is a real story. It worked. The sparrows all died. Then what happened? Then the locusts came. And because the sparrows had been eating the locust, the insects ate everything in the fields. Bear the famine that followed. Kills. Killed tens of million more people. More than most wars in human history. Mao had the diagnosis, right? The sparrows are the problem. But his cure buried a generation. Okay, so what am I? I mean, I could go on. All of these things have one thing in common. These people were not cranks. They were not obvious monsters. A Nobel laureate, a constitutional amendment, a. A government. And the applause of the experts and the cheer of the crowd made the blade come down. That's the, the. The real test. The real test is, okay, he's right about the sickness. But what happens when he cuts into the body? What happens? What happens after that first cut? Can it ever be undone? This is the test. True and correct diagnosis earns a man your attention. But it doesn't earn him the throat. A person who can name your disease perfectly has proven that he can see. He has proven nothing about what's in his hand or where that hand will land, or whether you'll be able to live with. With what's behind that hand. So when somebody shows you exactly what's wrong with you, your Body, your country, your culture, your faith. And then in the very same breaths, reaches for the scalpel and says, lie down. Stay still. I, trust me, I'm going to cut into you. Don't be hypnotized about how right he was about the wound. There's another hoop he has to jump through. And that's what's happening with Dugan. People are saying he's. But Glenn, he's got the diagnosis, right? Yes, I agree with you. Now listen and read what he actually says is the solution. That's the difference. Let me see. Let me go to, Let me go to Jeff in Arizona. Hello, Jeff. Welcome.
- [07:02]
B
Hey, Glenn. I have a suggestion regarding Ron DeSantis, because I believe he's a man who can make the diagnosis, to use your analogy, and perform the operation successfully after he's done in Florida. I want to suggest that Ron DeSantis become the free agent governor and simply move to another state and save another state the way he has done in Florida.
- [07:31]
A
I love you. I love you so much. I have said this and I've said it jokingly and seriously, seriously to Ron DeSantis. And he just does it. He just shakes his head and I'm like, listen, you are, you are so good. If you, to run for president, run for president. If you don't win president, go run in another state, go save other states, strengthen other states. And, you know, he said one time we were talking and he said, you know, you know, I don't know how other states would feel about that. You know, stop with this carpet bagger stuff. We have to start looking at our states as needing a great CEO. We need somebody who can get it done, who can, can perform and knows how to run the apparatus of the state and get things done. That's Ron DeSantis. And if I'm a state, if, you know, if I'm California and I'm looking for the next governor, I'm looking for the best CEO, the best technician that can actually get the things done that need to get done. I don't need somebody that I like. I don't need somebody that has lived in my state the whole, well, he's not a Texan, he's not a Californian. He, he's, he just moved here from Florida to Iowa. Do you have anybody as good as him? If you do go, go vote for him. But if you don't, why wouldn't you take. I, I 100%. I think he should go on a 50 state tour. I think he should do, he's going, I have to keep him alive for a while. But I would say that he needs to go and, and run for office in another state and when he has termed out there, go to another state. Because you're exactly right, Jeff. Exactly right. Let me go to Tammy. By the way, it's Friday. Your calls are important. I want to hear your voice. Anything I got wrong, anything you want to argue with me about, anything you think I missed, whatever. 888-727-BECK. Today is your day. Tammy in Georgia. Welcome.

Hi Glenn. You were talking about a candidate in New Jersey and you were talking with somebody you had, and I, I'm sorry, I'm really bad with names, but you had, yeah, this guy was tied to Al Qaeda and terrorist groups and had something to do with 9, 11. I want to know why these candidates are not being vetted the way I think they should be. And how can we as a country let somebody, or even the Congress or Senate let somebody like that try to go to the Congress or Senate?
- [10:15]
A
Well, because the, this, this is a free nation. We don't, we, you know, let me give you the extreme case. The mullahs in Iran, they're the ones who decide who can run and who can't. You never want that. You want the people to decide. You want just people be able to walk off the street and say, I want to run. And then it requires then a good, decent, well informed public using a honest press to do their own homework on those person, those people and vet them and, and say, yeah, that guy does not fit. We don't want him representing. And that's just not happening right now. This guy should have been vetted by the people of New Jersey. And you know, he is in one of these elitist districts, it's the 12th district of New Jersey. He was, he provided testimony for the blind chic. There are reports that he was involved in the planning of the first World Trade Center. He then went in to, where was it? Bosnia? Ricky, I don't have the information about Gaza where he volunteered and service in Gaza in 2024. He actually served in the U. S. Military for a time. Right. And so, you know, you have to make your own decision, but he is somebody that should not get a national security clearance. At the very least, you can't give him information about our country. But you know, if the Democrats win in the House and he wins in the House, he will be sitting in some of our most crucial things. And that's just the way this democracy works. That's why, you know, we are doing it. Torch we're trying to teach American history. Do we have another episode of the American Story coming out today? Should be nine. We sure do.
- [12:07]
C
Insiders already have it.
- [12:08]
A
Everyone else is getting it tomorrow. Okay, so episode nine, Inside the First Presidency, Power, Fear, and the Bill of Rights. This is perfect because next week we kick off our education program with the Bill of Rights. Um, so we're telling you the story so you know our story. Any, any society that doesn't know their story will lose, will fall apart. It will disintegrate. Humans run on story. If you, if you know a story, if there's a good story that you're following, you can then understand things. You know how to make decisions because you know the story. Where you came from, where you're going, why you were there in the first place, why you set off in this journey. If you lose that story, there's nothing. So the first thing we're doing is restoring the American story with the American Story. It's a podcast, hour long episodes. There's nine of them right now. But insiders, I think you're going to have all 20 of them here shortly. And it takes you through the first, you know, 100 years of America's story. And you'll really understand in a way you never have. Then we have the Bill of Rights lessons. They'll start next week. These are actual lesson plans that you and your family can give. I mean, I don't care if you're, you're 80, most likely, if you're like me, I couldn't tell you the, the first five in the First Amendment. What are the first five rights? What are the five rights in the First Amendment? If you don't know those five rights and you can't defend those five rights and you can't say why each of those five rights are important, you, you can't defend the country. And that is exactly why our civics classes don't exist and why our American history classes are so horrible. Because if you, if you know these things, you can defend the country. If you don't, then we're just like every other place and what difference does it make? So you, you want people like this not to be in Congress? There's a few obstacles. One, your press. So what do you do? You support people that are telling you the truth. You support and spread the word and you help gain. You know, you, when you see somebody, and I'm not talking about me at all, you're going on and you see somebody that you are like this person is telling us the truth. Every day. You should be on their, on their YouTube page. You should be on their X page. You should be on Instagram. You should like, rate, review every time. You should add comments to them. You should like them, you should retweet them.
- [15:03]
C
You should.
- [15:04]
A
You have to do that because that changes the algorithm. So you want those voices to bubble up to the top. You have to engage, okay? And that will do more damage to the people telling the truth instead of being against something before something. But you have to understand you have a responsibility. I can provide all the information out there, but if I can't crack that algorithm because you're not participating in it, then my voice goes nowhere. And it's the same with everybody. So, like rate and review on all platforms. Support them when you can. I ask you to join the Torch. You could join Daily Wire if that's where you get most of your news and you think that's good. Join them, help them in their effort. But then also when they are giving you stuff, use it, I urge you. We have worked. So I've worked eight months on just this Bill of Rights stuff. There's 10 lessons coming. I've worked eight months on these things and we ask that you use them. So join us. We begin next week@glenn beck.com torch. This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program. Let's talk about something that matters more every year. Dads. Real dads, the ones who show up, who provide, who protect, who teach their kids right from wrong, even when it's really super hard. You don't see him much on television anymore. So many shows and commercials love turning dads into bumbling jokes. But you know better, Fathers aren't a joke. They're the bedrock of strong families and a strong nation. This Father's Day, don't give dad just a gift. Honor the man that he is. Give him a gift from American Giant. Clothes that a real dad deserves. Premium hoodies and tees and everyday gear grown, cut, sewn here in America by American hands. Soft from the very first wear, but tough enough to last for years and years. No fading, no falling apart, just honest quality that lasts. When you buy from American Giant, you are supporting American jobs and the self reliant spirit that built this country. Just like your dad. Buy American this father's day@american-giant.com Glenn.

All right, I'm doing a deep dive on the data centers And I want you to know my phrase here is I understand the concerns and I validate them. And I believe you're accurate in those concerns. I'm. You are accurate in your belief that you're going to get screwed. This thing is going to be built on your backs with your money. That's why it's not effective to say no. It is effective to say no. Unless. And you fill in the unless. Unless. Unless you're putting more power in to our grid and you're building your own power system for what you take, but for the right to be able to have this big, huge data center in my community, you're going to put 5% more power into us because my electricity is not going up. Because here's what the, here's what the electrical companies are saying. We have to upgrade the grid as it is, okay? And everybody is tying it to the data center. And in a way they're right. But in a way, they're not right. The grid was built decades ago and it was never meant to. It's all aging out, okay? It was not meant to last longer than it already has. And so we have been delaying and delaying and delaying, and nobody wants to pay for it. Nobody wants to pay for it, and it is decaying on us. So our power, our power grid is absolutely archaic. But that is the human way and the American way of doing things. We never do it the right time. You know, when we'll think about hardening the grid, you know, when we'll think about putting protection around the, the, the generators that we have and the, I can't remember the name of the, the trans transformers, you know, when we'll start putting protection around the transformers. When Al Qaeda takes and comes in and they shoot six of those things around the country and they collapse our grid, that's when we'll say we should put protection around those. We should have done that a long time ago, but we never do those things. So we should have upgraded our grid a long time ago, but we didn't. Because you only do it because you're human. You're an American. You only do it when it's a crisis, when you absolutely have to. So the power grid problem with these data centers comes in America. The, the, the builders of America know we have to have these data centers. And so it's a crisis. And so now the power companies are saying, well, we're going to have to upgrade our grid. So they're going to do it. And that's where you're going to get that 14% increase. No, no, no, no, no. Use this to your advantage. Cities, Facebook, you know, Tesla or whoever needs these, you know, Google, you need a data center. Microsoft, you need a dentist. Here's what you're going to do. You're going to upgrade our grid. You're going to put 5% of the energy you create into our grid. So we're going to not only get a new grid, we're also going to get a reduction in our the average citizens power. And you can build your data center. You don't do that, you don't have a data center. We're not doing it here. Okay? And sometimes your bluff will be called, sometimes it won't be, sometimes you'll win. But enough of cities do that and stop saying no. But say no. Unless you meet these conditions, you're going to start winning. Otherwise they're going to steamroll you and bulldoze, bulldoze you. Now here's the part that's going to really hack you off. As of 2025, more than 2,000 gigawatts of proposed energy projects are waiting in interconnection queues across the country. 2,000 gigawatts. Think about this. These are projects waiting, not producing power, waiting. Some of them are waiting just to be connected. Some of these projects are waiting to be built. Some of them maybe shouldn't get built. But the scale of the backlog should tell you something important. The challenge isn't finding energy, it's connecting energy. It's permitting, it's approvals, it's planning regions, it's studies, it's paperwork. Sometimes the hardest, hardest part of building a power project is not the engineering, it's just getting past the damn paperwork. And that's where we have ourselves in trouble. Every time. We have made it so easy to say no, we've made it so difficult to say yes. Now there are reasons to review things, there are reasons for environmental studies and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, okay? Reasons. Communities need to have a voice, must have a voice. I'm not arguing for bulldozing people. I'm arguing for a system that can still build things. In America, we can't build things anymore because if everything can be stopped forever, then eventually nothing gets built. And if nothing gets built, the country, it doesn't stand still, it falls behind. Nothing is static. Nothing will be this way unless you're preparing for the future. Remember where we started? We started with data centers and artificial intelligence and power demand. All of that sits on top of one basic question. Can America build enough electricity that's the question? Not can we invent? Can we innovate? We've proven those things. Can we build tam? Can we build? Can we connect? Can we move power from where it's where it is to where it's needed? Every problem I've just described was created by people. Now here's the good news. It was created by people. That means it can be fixed by people. People can fix it. What? The situation we're in is not some law of nature. Permitting delays are not some natural consequence. Trend transmission bottlenecks aren't a law of nature. All of these things are choices. And choices can change. We built the greatest industrial system on Earth. We electrified a continent. We powered factories that won world wars. We built dams and pipelines and transmission lines and railroads and highways. And we were the country that built the skyscraper.
- [24:02]
B
We were.
- [24:03]
A
Why was it called the skyscraper? It's called the skyscraper because they were so massive. At the time, it appeared as though they were scraping the very essence of the sky. That ability didn't disappear. Do you know how long it took us to build the Empire State Building? 11 months. 11 months. Why? Because we wanted to do it. Resources don't. Don't disappear. They didn't disappear. Engineers didn't disappear. What we've lost is confidence. What we've lost is the habit of saying yes. We instead have trained ourselves to say no. So here's the goal. Build more generation. Upgrade the lines we already have. Build new transmission where it makes sense. Connect the regions that can help each other during emergencies, but allow it to cut off in case it's a trip. Make sure the biggest new power users pay not just for the capacity they require, but because of what they're doing to our culture, to our nation, to our world, to our jobs. They might have to pay a premium for that, Right? Do that and the entire conversation changes. You're not arguing over scarcity. You're arguing on how can we build abundance for everyone and not build it on the backs of the average person. In a century where power increasingly means economic power, military power, technological power, national power, abundance matters a lot. I live in the middle of the mountains. My ranch is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. And I thank the Lord for that. Live in a town of 450 people, and I just love it. I just love it. The people are rooted in the earth. They're just down to earth. They're just good, solid citizens. And I love it. I don't have power in my mountain ranch, and quite honestly, I don't want to bring the power lines. I can. It cost me a fortune, but I can bring the. I don't want the power lines. I don't want that. Because I know that what that will do to where I live. I'm like, the only one that lives in this canyon. So I don't want to invite a bunch of other people by bringing, you know, electricity into it, because that's the thing that's stopping it. But I've. I've had to generate all my own electricity. You know what my biggest problem has been? Not. And it's coming from me. I have a pretty big imagination. Not a big enough imagination. I've built it for, okay, what's it going to take to run the house the way I want to run the house? And I build it. And then I'm like, oh, I gotta add a studio. Before, I wasn't even thinking about putting a studio up here. I gotta add a studio. Cause I'll be up there for a few weeks. I add a studio. I have to upgrade the power. Then I say, I'm actually gonna be here during the summer months where we're using a heavy load for air conditioning and everything. Because I didn't have air conditioning planned for the house originally. But now if I'm gonna live here, I need some air conditioning in the summer months, which is gonna put a drain on the system. And I'm gonna be broadcasting every day, so I'm gonna need more power. Every time I make a move, I have to upgrade the power. If you're smart, you. You do exactly opposite of what I did. You say, what are the absolute wildest possibilities that can happen? Let's build for that. That way we don't have to keep in nickel diamond. I can't tell you how much money I've spent on power generation. Anybody who says, oh, you could live off the grid, you just get some solar panels. You're a. You have no idea what it takes to have stable electricity. And if we screw around with our power grid, you' to find out what it's like not to have stable electricity. It's bad. It puts you into the stone age immediately. Believe me, I've lived it. I know America can still, as a country, do big, hard things. If we want to survive, we have to think, let's dream for way beyond the power grid that we need today for these data centers. Build it. One last point on this. Talk about demand, talk about the grid, talked about bottlenecks. All of that leads to one question. If we know we need more power, we know There are projects ready to build it. Why aren't we building faster? Why does everything in this country take so long? Because right now, more than 2,000 gigawatts is sitting there waiting. 2,000 gigawatts. What are we doing? Why? It's not the lack of ideas. Engineers, they're all just waiting for permission. What are they waiting for? Permission. Hear me carefully on this one. Not every. Not every idea should be rubber stamped. Communities. You have to stand up for yourself. Property rights matter more than anything else. Environmental reviews, decent ones, real ones matter. Good reasons to examine these projects. The question is whether we've built a system that can still say yes when the answer should be yes. That's why you shouldn't just march and say no. You should say no. Unless the answer should always have a way to find a way to yes. Because we have to have these. I'm sorry, but if we want to be. If you want to be France, then don't build these. And the France that is today or maybe even tomorrow, if you don't have a problem being Mexico, then don't build these. But if you want America to be strong in a leadership role and you want your children to. To be able to deal with the future that is coming, whether you like it or not, you must have the data centers and you must have a strong power grid. You just don't have to have it built on your back. You just don't have. You have all the power. They built this thing with your knowledge, with your data. They're still building it with who you are, your data and what you use. Don't let them get away with it for another second. No, you're not building it that way. Unless. You just have to fill out the. Unless. It's different for each of us and each community. You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck. To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts. Wherever you get podcasts. Full Disclosure I come at this from a different place. Two reasons. I practice a faith that believes in what is called the premortal existence. That we were in heaven with God before we gained a body. That there is a purpose for us to gain a body. Just like there was a purpose for Jesus to gain a body. And we came down here to be shrouded in flesh so we could learn how to. Learn how to wield the power of our spirits. Learn how to. We have such power. We are not God, but we have the power like God in us. And to wield that and to be able to have all of these desires and passions, and then to be able to go no, to have free choice and to know how to make the decisions that actually God would make and to wield real power with compassion and decency and love. That's why we're here, to learn all of that. My faith also believes in the literal war in heaven that, you know, there was a war and it was. Lucifer was like, I'll get all the credit. You give me the credit, I'll make all the decisions and I'll bring everybody home. And Jesus was like, no, I will go and I'll sacrifice myself for their sins. So I will wash them clean so they can come back into your presence. And God chose the plan of salvation, chose Christ and said, that is the one. Lucifer gets upset, has a war in heaven now think about a war in heaven. How do you, if you are there in front of God, how do you get a third of the angels who have been worshiping and singing praise, how do you get them to say, yeah, I'm on your side, I'm not going with God. How do you do that? The only way I can imagine this happening is if you start saying things like, look at what he's saying. He will sacrifice him for something he didn't do. His, his, his chosen one. He will make him suffer on a cross. He will then take all of his children, send them down some knowing some of them aren't going to make it, knowing they're going to have life of misery and pain and everything else. And you say, lucifer, you're going to take all that away. You'll just make all of the decisions and everybody will come home and it'll be happy and it'll be great. God is horrible. That's how I see it happening, because I see it happening today. That's the same argument. When somebody says, no, you shouldn't make the choice, we'll make the choice for you. That's why I believe free will is the answer on everything. You have free will. Now. There are certain boundaries that we say, no, you can't do that. Just like God says, there are certain boundaries. Thou shall not kill. We have the same certain boundaries, but it's up to the individual to choose. And it has to be that way because that's the way God intended it to be. That being said, the ones who fought the most valiantly, and I don't know what a war in heaven is actually like, could be words. I don't know what it was like, but the ones who fought the most valiantly that didn't need to be tested as hard as maybe I need to be tested. Those who fought on the front lines and cast Satan out, those are the ones that don't need to be tested. And they are the ones that are born with, let's say, down syndrome. Have you ever met a Down syndrome kid? Have you ever met them? They are. Their default is love. Their default is kindness. I worked with Special Olympians for many years when I was young. And I will tell you, and this is the proper use of the word, they are not the ones that are retarded. We are. When I use the word retarded, I'm usually talking about people who I think are smarter than I am. They are just so arrogant or so blind that they've become slow and they're retarded. I never would refer to anyone with cerebral palsy or down syndrome or anything as retarded, because they're not. As another disclosure, as a father of a daughter with cerebral palsy who has taught me more than anyone I know, she is my hero. The way she deals with things, her spiritual connections, the way she's disciplined herself, the things she's overcome. She's my hero. I don't say that enough to her. We were standing in Auschwitz and there's this room in Auschwitz where they take all of the things from disabled people and it was all in one pile. It was crutches, it was legs, it was wheelchairs, it was anything, you know, arms, fake arms, whatever. And she stood there with me and she got really quiet. I had to back up. I had to go actually stand by a window. It was so overwhelming for me because watching her look at that and I could see her thinking it through. And she turned around and she came up to me and she said, dad, they would have killed me, wouldn't they? Yes, they would have. The joy and the glory that my bought my daughter has brought into my world and others worlds. Everybody who meets our family, they always say she is the greatest. We're secondary. And has it been hard? You know what the hardest thing is of having. And I can imagine with down syndrome, you know, the hardest thing is seeing your child left out of things. Seeing your child not understood. Seeing your child around people who. And sometimes yourself. I'm speaking about me. Sometimes not having the patience, that's the pain that comes because you see it in them and you see your own shortcomings. If I could have, in a really twisted, warped world, if I was just thinking about me, I would say, no, I don't want Any of that. But through all the pain that our children face and all the pain that we face, it is so worth it. But you have to realize that life is not about you. We're animals. We are. We're animals. We are exactly the same as animals, and except for one thing. We were made in God's image. Whether that is he's got arms and legs. I think he does, but, you know, whatever. You can be a space octopus. I don't really care. We'll find out when we get there. We have his characteristics. We have the ability to have his characteristics. We have the ability to think. No animal can think like we can think. We have the ability to make choices. We are the only animal on planet Earth that doesn't abandon the weak. I pretty sure all the other animals do. They'll either eat the weakest, or they'll let something else eat the weakest. We don't. You have been given such a tremendous gift, and I hate this phrase, God will never give you more than you can handle, but it's true. You just have to be willing, Mr. Phelps. This is your mission. If you're. If you choose to accept it, you're being asked to do an impossible mission. Do you choose to accept it, or do you say no? This life is about me. I want my life. I want my life, and I want it on my terms. I want to be happy. I want to be free to create. I want to be free to be without that burden. I want ease. And you can mask it any way you want. You can even say, well. But they suffer. Look up, Baby Nower. Just look up, Baby Nower. The first baby. That was the beginning of the Holocaust. It was how it was. Hitler saying, look at this child. Can't hear, can't see, can't speak, probably will have no intelligence. I think it didn't have arms or something, this child. And the parents were like, we don't know what to do. We don't know what to do. And Hitler's medical doctors said, there's no life for this child. It's not worth living. It's too hard on the state and too hard on the parents. And they killed it, and they killed it on the front page with compassion. That's your choice. That is your choice. Once you start going down that road, that's your choice. And it's who you will become. And you'll become more and more like an animal and less and less like a human being. This couple, it's not like they didn't. They didn't Say, that's not a baby. It's worse. They didn't say, that's not a child. They said, that's a life. But it's not a life worth living. That's worse. And why isn't it a life worth living? I think for most people because it will interfere with their happiness, their plans. Let me tell you about happiness. I had a stinky childhood. Everybody did. So I'm not going to bore you with mine. Everybody had a difficult childhood, one way or another. And we can all sit here and whine about our childhood, how we were raised, what happened to us, whatever. I don't believe in any of that stuff. You get over it or you don't. And for a long time, I didn't get over it. And I started drinking and drinking and drinking. And I found all of. I. I made a goal for myself, that I was going to be successful in business. And I was going to. I was going to chart my own course and everything else. And I started when I was 13 years old. By the time I was 30, I was an alcoholic. I was. I had accomplished so much. I had been rich, I had been poor. I had been mildly famous. I had been mildly successful. I had all of the bling. I had the cars, I had the houses. I had everything. And I was miserable. Miserable. And I sobered up and I met a good woman. I found God. I got married. I had more children. And I still had hard times, but I found moments of happiness, real happiness. And you know where I found them? Every time in my family, which is the hardest thing I've ever done. Raising my children was the hardest thing by far. I have to tell you, while I'm doing it, I would have done anything to not do that because it was so far out of my ability. It was so far out of my comfort zone. It was so far out of my abilities. I thought my. My capability. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm the worst. Don't. I don't want to do this anymore. But let me tell you something. There is nothing that brings me more happiness than my family. There is nothing that I wish I had more of than children. I wish I had more children. I wish I was a better parent. But there is nothing that brings you happiness eternally. You will understand this, and you will understand it the older you get. There's nothing else but family. Cherish that. Don't kill it. Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day.
