Everything that we are saying goodbye to from this administration on Monday and the turning of the page, what we should be thinking about this weekend and on Monday. Also, an incredible movie that was turned down both by HBO and Netflix. It's called Hot Shots and it's all about the California wildfires made before this one. You'll understand once you hear from Gabriel Kirkpatrick Mann exactly why they turned that down and why, why you should watch it now. And one of my favorite people in the world, Brad Meltzer, the JFK conspiracy, he's just discovered there was a hit on JFK just before he became president. And you've never heard of it, why? Brad Meltzer joins me on today's podcast. Bernalauncher I am a gun owner. I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in being prepared for every situation. But I also know that according to law enforcement, 99% of all situations where force may be required doesn't require lethal force. You know why? Burn them out Launcher was first designed. The guy who designed the burner launcher was in a road rage incident. Some guy just was just raging against him and he pulls over to the side thinking that the guy will just pass him. He didn't. He gets out of his car. The guy who designed burn a launcher first went for his gun and said, no, I don't want to get into a gunfight. Well, he was beaten to an inch of his life on the side of the road by this guy. He never again. Berna B y r n a.com Glenn berna.com Glenn go there now.

I, you know, but I think it's a lot bigger than I was thinking about this today when I was driving in that this administration exiting is not just another exit, you know, exit of a president. It's not the same. And it wasn't like this in 16, although we hoped it would be. But it is this time because the people and the feeling in the country, even among Democrats, is different. Now. We're about to turn the page and enter a new app, a new era or a new chapter. We're really standing on the edge. Monday is a moment far larger than politics. But it's only the beginning. It's not just the end of a presidency, not the changing of the guard. It is truly the end of an era, an era marked by madness, by confusion, by Division, distortion, a deafening cacophony of chaos. All of that has drowned out reason and common sense. And it, you know, it didn't, it didn't start yesterday. As much as the left tried to make this all about words by twisting meaning, redefining words, or using words in ways, quite honestly, to use their words in mis. Dis or malinformation, this era is not going to be remembered by the words, but by the actions of those who spoke the millions of those meaningless words. We can see right now the destruction of our economy, our security, that in. In really, really clear terms in the homes and the hearths of California, that it is the actions of people that matter more than simple words. By their. By their fruits ye shall know them. The fruit of this tree is rotted. And people now are beginning to see that. Now, like I said, this didn't begin four years ago. It turned it up to volume number 10. But this has been brewing for decades. It has been in our institutions far longer than any of us realize, metastasizing in our culture, our institutions and our hearts and hardening our hearts. It is an era that we leave on Monday that put truth itself on trial. Can you even define what truth is anymore? We, we went into this place that was so absurd, we couldn't define something as fundamental and self evident as. Can you tell me what a woman is? Historians are going to look back on this last era that we're now leaving as pure madness. But it's also a time when it took everything in people to question the powerful mob, to speak the truth that you believe it was a. It was a risk that at first, far too many people wouldn't do because they were afraid of being shouted down, counts counts canceled, or much, much worse. Common decency. The once unspoken bond that united us was thrown out the window. It became not only unfashionable, but absolutely unrecognizable. And everybody was at each other's throats. Common sense. Our old friend just dismissed, exiled seemingly to the fringes of our society, as if it were dangerous now or just wildly outdated. And we know that we didn't know that yesterday, but we know that today. And I mean literally yesterday. How many words changed? How many things, concepts, huge truths that we knew? We wake up one day and it was completely being dismissed. And you'd be like, where did this come from? We're leaving a time of breathtaking hypocrisy where those who deny corruption themselves take bribes from hostile nations, where the righteous call for unity while sowing division this era, racism has been repackaged and sold back to us under the guise of anti racism. Hatred, we're told, is perfectly fine as long as it's aimed at the right people. And those right people may be the wrong people tomorrow. Faith in God has been replaced by faith in climate, models, sexuality, identity. In this last era that we're now getting ready to leave, all of those religions had their own dogmas, their high priest, their rituals, and above all, their lack of forgiveness, meaning that they were antichrist teachings. But somehow or another, many of our churches embrace them as the message of Christ. There cannot be Christ in any message that doesn't include forgiveness. But this isn't where the story ends. We thought before this election this might be where our story ends. But here is the really unbelievable news. God stepped in. And if you don't recognize that there is no hope for us, God stepped in and did something none of us could do. First of all, he saved the President's life twice. And if you think that was a secret service, you're nuts. God saved him twice. God changed him. And suddenly our society is waking up. This guy who's not our savior won and people started flocking to him and willing to take bold stands and say, you know what, all this crap, it's wrong. So this is not the end of an era alone. It's the beginning of the end of that era. The end of unreasonable hatred of others not because they look different, but be simply because they voted differently, they didn't think differently. You know, they, there was, it was nothing about actual diversity. It was all about voting. It's the end of unquestioning obedience to the so called media and experts who demand that we follow them without question into the slaughterhouse. Hoping, I guess, hoping against hope, many of us, that if we would just comply, our turn on the chopping block would never come. It's the end of the era of my body, my choice, in everything, in everything else other than killing your baby. You can kill your baby. My body, my choice. Well, it's not your body that's being killed, it's the baby's body. Made no sense, but boy, oh boy, not with Max masks, not with vaccines, not with the basic right to just use your legs and leave your home. It's an end of an era where we have to ask ourselves, whose side is this government on? Who is actually running this thing? What is the actual plan that our leaders have? How, how is this helping the average American who is actually the President? That ends on Monday. It's the beginning of the end. There's a lot of work to do, but it's the beginning of the end of diversity twisted into a weapon where diversity of thought, values and spirit were just disregarded, replaced by a narrow, suffocating dogma that demanded conformity in all ways. Even if you were conforming yesterday and then somehow or another, through the ether, the mob decided what was true yesterday is no longer true today. The mob would get you on anything you disagreed with. It's the end of the era where dissent was met, met not with debate, but with just now meaningless labels. Racist, fascist, bigot. I think it's really important that all of us recognize this is not about Democrats. There are a lot of Democrats that actually woke up. It's not about Democrats, it's not about Republicans. I think both of them stink, quite honestly, I do. And that's the message of this new administration. And you see it with the diversity of people that are actually in this administration. We don't agree on locks in lockstep on everything. Far from it. The establishment in the Democrats and the Republicans do. But this isn't about Democrat, Republicans, liberals, conservative, independent. This is truly about something much, much deeper that begins Monday. It's older and far more grander than a political party. It is truly about the rebirth or the rediscovering of what it truly means to be free. Monday marks the rebirth of something absolutely extraordinary. Things we used to find self evident. The freedoms guaranteed just in our First Amendment. The freedom to question our government. They work for us, we don't work for them. The freedom to speak our mind. Even the most unpleasant and disruptive things you are allowed to say. The freedom to worship, to live out your beliefs, to be who you are without demanding that others speak, affirm, or even accept your truth. You know, the one thing that we have forgotten in this last era that I hope we are remembering is that this nation wasn't built by people who all walked in lockstep. They didn't agree on everything. In fact, far from it. It was built by people who often vehemently disagreed on the right path forward, but they shared the common commitment to respecting each other's rights and fulfilling their own responsibilities. It was built on the idea that disagreement, when handled with humility and respect, makes us stronger, not weaker. Diversity of thought is important. Diversity of skin color doesn't matter. And so, as we say farewell to an era of absolute chaos, it's really important that we don't say goodbye in anger or bitterness. And that is hard. We can't alienate our neighbors or assume the worst of those who see the world differently. If we agree on the rebirth of the Bill of Rights and each responsibility that is tied to those rights, Monday, I hope we recognize that this is an end of an era. This weekend and Monday is an invitation to rebuild, to restore, to renew an era, a golden era, an era that is dawning just in front of all of us. And it belongs to all of us, not just those who won an election or share my view or your view. It's an era that can only succeed if we remember the lessons of the past and commit to something better. To restore hope not just in our institutions, but in each other. Renew our faith, not just in God, though that's vital, but also in the idea that people, flawed though they are, can be capable of incredible good. Seek restoration not just of our economy and our government, but of our hearts, of our communities, of our families, our shared understanding of what it means to be human and to be free. This weekend, I want you to bid farewell to all of the chaos. It's the beginning of the end. There will be more chaos as we go, but as we lay it down, leave it behind. Walk forward. Leave your fear behind. Walk in courage. Not in hatred, but in love. Because the truth is, this country has faced darker days than these. I didn't think we'd make it here, gang. But every time this country seems to find the light just at the end. And we found it, but it's just flickering. Still so fragile in mighty gusts of wind. But what will happen is not because of a president or Congress or a court. It will all happen because of you. So don't wait for anybody else. Lead the way. Be the one who chooses faith over fear, courage over conformity, love over hatred. Let's be the ones who Our words are meaningless, but our action speaks volumes. The one that shows the world that freedom actually works. Not because it's easy, but because it is right? Let me tell you about pre born. When you put your hand over your heart, what do you feel but said beat, beat beneath your hand? That's how you know you're alive. Okay? Expecting moms, when they go in for an ultrasound or they go in for an abortion, they've been taught to ignore the beating heart. Okay? But when they see an ultrasound of their unborn child, not just a glob of cells, but a beating heart and a brain and arms and legs, that changes them. Now, the abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions, and it's available pretty much 24. 7. This is why the Ministry of Preborn is so important. They've got to get those who are going in and give them an ultrasound because that stops a lot of that. But also they're fighting on another front now. They need your help. For $28, that's the cost of a dinner, you can sponsor one ultrasound and introduce a mom to her baby for the very first time. And 100% of your donations going towards saving babies. So will you help? Just dial £250, say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword baby. Or donate securely at preborn.com beck preborn.com beck Sponsored by Prebor Back to the podcast.
