You know what really bothers me about modern health care? We tend to treat normal as though it's the same thing as healthy. You tell your doctor you're tired all the time, your energy is down, you're not thinking as clearly as you used to. And what they tell you is, well, I'm going to run a few basic tests, but everything comes back within range. The conversation is over. But you don't feel normal, you don't feel healthy. That's one of the reasons I love Jevoty. They take a completely different approach. Instead of looking at a dozen basic labs, they run more than 100. Hormone, inflammation, metabolic, health, nutrient levels. The things that can help explain how you're actually feeling and may even reveal the problems years before they become a diagnosis. A phlebotomist will come right to your home. Real Care team reviews your results and they build a personalized plan based on your data, not some one size fits all guideline. So I want you to go to Jevity.com promo code Glenn, 20% off. That's G O G E V I T I dot com. Hello America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you right now. Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment. Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to, to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it. A big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate, review, share together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. Swipe the flame, pass it on, crave the game. Glam Beck is on. Glam Back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It's Thursday. I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know where to begin today. There's so much to talk about. Why not start at section 219? Section 219. Everybody was in a tizzy yesterday. Oh my gosh. Israel is taking over. We're going to be. Our soldiers are going to be Listening to Israeli generals. Is that really what happened yesterday? Because they, they passed the defense bill, the National Defense Authorization act,

Glenn Beck
Well, they did in the House. I don't know what the Senate is doing, but it gave a lot of great things, you know, $1.5 trillion, pay raises of 5 to 7% for all of the troops, expanded munitions production, missile defense, hypersonics, autonomous systems. It also formally renames the Department of Defense to the Department of War. And it also has the SAVE act in it. Okay, well, it's got to go to the Senate. So this is all going to be, you know, but this was not what the fight was about. Wasn't about the SAVE Act. And it's actually pretty genius because everybody was talking about Section 219 and not the SAVE act, which pretty brilliant. But let's talk about Section 219 because it's not what everybody says it is, but it has something in it that I think is disturbing. But let's talk about it. We'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor. You know, when I figured out relief factor, how I figured out it really works is when I stopped taking it. Before that, I was taking it to please my wife, and I assumed it wasn't doing anything. I was just feeling better, you know. And then when I stopped taking it, the pain came rushing back. And that's when I knew, wow, this is actually a pretty amazing product. It's a daily supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation. More than a million people have tried it and. And two thirds have gone on to order more. That means those people decided it was working. Jim wrote in, said it's actually. He ran out of relief factor twice. And both times his pain came charging back. As he puts it, you know, something's working when you run out of it. Been there, Jim, saw the movie, have the T shirt. You can get three weeks now for six or sorry, 1776. Just go to relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief relief factor dot com. Okay? They passed the defense bill yesterday in the House. The fight was all about section 2 19, okay? 1500 words in a bill of hundreds of thousands of words. And it creates something called the United States Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. You know, one thing Washington is not good at is naming stuff. Anyway, it orders the secretary to designate one of official an executive agent inside the Pentagon whose job is to coordinate and accelerate joint research, testing and industrial cooperation with Israel. Counter drone. This is missile and air defense, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, directed energy, cyber biotechnology, and. And to also identify Israeli origin technology that could be moved into American weapons programs and promote joint ventures, joint licensing, and American based production with Israeli firms. Now, AOC was like, oh my gosh, the Jews. It's an existential threat to our sovereignty and our democracy. It's going to merge parts of our military with the idf. Jews, Jews, Jews. They're drinking the blood of little Christian children.

Oh,

Glenn Beck
now, Mike Lawler answered with, we do this all the time with other nations. I don't know, maybe you should stop hating Jews so much. Now, Thomas Massey, a Republican of Kentucky, said we shouldn't merge our military tech and supply chain with Israel's. We're not. Ronna, the Democrat from California, said the same thing from the other end of the spectrum. Uh, Marjorie Taylor Greene said a roll call would produce a list of names of members who committed treason and sold sold out to a foreign country committing treason. Wow. All right, so without any hyperbole or anything else, let me just specifically tell you what the text actually says and what it actually does. Section 219 does not merge the two militaries. I would never. Before that, it doesn't create a joint command. I would never. Before that, it doesn't put an American soldier under an Israeli officer. I would never. Before that, it doesn't give anyone in Jerusalem a vote on where our carriers go. I wouldn't be for it. Read the section. None of that Is there anyone telling you that American troops are being handed over is either wrong or counting on you just to be an income poop. Okay? It's not.
- [08:11]

It's.

Glenn Beck
It's not there. The cooperation that is there is not new. Iron Dome, Arrow David Sling, Counter drone work. Anti tunnel technology. We've been building these things together for 40 years and Americans are alive today because of it. Here is what is new. Not the cooperation, the officer. This is the one thing that's new. I want you to think of the Pentagon as an enormous airport, okay? And every piece of technology on earth that wants to get into American's weapons systems has to go through the same terminal. They have to get evaluated, get tested. They have to compete for a contract. They have to get bought. It is slow and it is miserable. And it is slow and miserable for everyone on purpose. Because that's what keeps the taxpayer from getting fleeced and the soldier from getting a rifle that jams all the time. Section 219 does not change where the line ends. However, it does build one country a dedicated lane and then it hires a full time employee of the United States whose entire job description is keeping that lane moving. Okay? That's what this executive agent is. It's not a treaty, it's not a committee, not a program. It's not a general from Israel looking over nothing. It's a person, an American with a title and office, a staff and a budget and a performance review. What shows up on that performance review is. Is really important. It's how much has gone through that lane this year. That's not corruption. I'm not alleging any. It's not corruption. It's arithmetic. You get what you measure. And we've decided to measure this. Why? Why don't we have that officer for Great Britain? We don't have it for Australia. We don't have it for Japan. We don't have it for Canada or any of the other five eyes. Why? It's the one thing the defenders of this section never actually answer. And you know why? Because they're spending their time knocking down the merger claim that AOC handed them for free. Oh, God. Let's say you hire the best contractor in the world, they're going to build. Your kitchen does beautiful work. When he's finished, he leaves and the kitchen's yours. Next year you can hire somebody else. That's cooperation. Now say instead you let him run his own plumbing through your walls. In his fittings to his standards, the kitchen still works. It may even work even better. But you've just made a decision about every remodel you'll ever do in that house. Because now the walls have to be opened around his pipe. And the only man who stocks that fitting is him. That's what supply chain means in this fight. It's not about who you buy from. It's about what you can no longer stop buying. That's important, isn't it? That's where we should be having the discussion. Once a component is designed into a weapon system, it will stay there for 30 years. Because ripping it out means redesigning the entire weapon. Now why would we do that? Well, we've done it. We've been here before. Let me take you back to August of 1940. France has fallen, Britain is alone. The Luftwaffe over London and America is neutral and intends to stay that way. Winston Churchill makes a decision that on its face is insane. He gives everything away. He sends a team of scientists across the Atlantic. Sir Henry Tizard I think was his name. He was carrying a suitcase sized metal deed box and he weighted it so it would sink if the ship were torpedoed. Inside the box were the plans for the Whittle jet engine. This was Britain's atomic bomb research. It was a small copper device the size of a fist called the Cavity Magnetron. It had radar transmission or a transmitter roughly a thousand times more powerful than anything we had. He lands in Halifax on the 6th of September. There they were in Washington by the 12th with this device. James Finney Baxter, the official historian of American wartime science, later wrote that they carried the most valuable cargo ever brought to American shores. Britain had the genius, but Britain did not have the factories. They were being bombed. So they brought it over here and America built it. Bell Telephone turned out the first 30 magnetrons in October of 1940. By the end of the war, over a million had been made. MIT stood up the radiation laboratory. American engineers, American plants, American control. There was no executive agent. There was no permanent office. There was no statutory framework locking the arrangement into the machinery of the Department of War. There was a mission, there was a handshake, There was a series of agreements, and every one of them was revocable. Which brings me to the part that most people don't know. In 1946, then Congress passes the Atomic Energy act, the McMahon act, and they cut Britain off completely. They passed restricted nuclear data to a foreign national, and it became a capital offense. You're going to the chair if you pass this to Great Britain or anybody else. That country had handed us the crown jewel six years earlier, our closest ally, the one that gave us the magnetron. We locked them out by an act of Congress. Britain went off. And what did they do? They built their own bomb and tested it in Western Australia in October 1952. It took 12 years before Eisenhower could get Congress to amend the law and sign the Mutual defense agreement of 1958. That. That agreement, the deepest defense technology partnership in the United States, one that we have never had really with any other nation, was written with an expiration date on purpose. The core of it had to come back and be renewed every 10 years or it died on its own. So the obvious question that we should be asking about this section is why? Why is there no sunset? I mean, we just saw. Britain did that for us because they needed somebody to build it. We built it, then we cut them off. We came back and said, okay, that was a mistake. We need each other. So we put together a sunset every 10 years. Now, the answers that you will get if you ask this question, there are three answers, and they're not stupid ones. They're really important, especially the first answer. This is, I think the first answer is the crux of this entire issue. Why are we doing this with Israel? Let me give you the first answer in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor is Patriot Mobile. It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history and that means taking a stand against things that we feel are wrong. There are a lot of, you know, different ways to do that. Some of them come at a great personal cost and it's up to decide. Up to you to decide, you know, your own personal line. Where is that? But not every stand you take is, you know, for, for what is right actually costs you a lot. In fact, switching to Patriot Mobile, it might just do the opposite. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they've given millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith and family and freedom and our constitutional rights. You're not giving up the things that you expect from a wireless company either. You get the dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks, US based customer support and a team that makes switching really simple. You can keep your phone, you can keep your number, or you can switch both. One small choice and it actually can mean something. Go to patriotmobile.com Beck call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot.

This section 219 is so Donald Trump. What is this first thing? Make America great again. How do you make America great again? You start building things. Okay, so section two 19.
- [17:22]
Jon Stewart
Why?
- [17:23]
Glenn Beck
Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? Number one, first, you cannot build a factory on a lease that you might lose. You'd never do it. Are you going to build a giant? You know, I'm building a studio down in Florida and you know, they were offering like a one or two year lease and I'm like, yeah, I don't think I'm going to pour $5 million into this building to get it right only to lose my lease in two years. So I signed a 10 year lease. Okay, you have to do that now. Imagine a giant factory, a weapons program that will run for 10 or 15 or 20 years from a laboratory to the battlefield. You ask a company to tool a production line, hire 400 engineers, pour a foundation on the legal authority that it might be done in a decade, the honest people are going to say no, it's not going to happen. So a sunset doesn't slow the program down. It actually can stop it from ever starting. The second is that a sunset is a calendar you hand to your enemy, tell Tehran and Beijing there's a date on which this is gonna be killed, and you've told them exactly which election to buy and what year to wait for. And the third answer? In 2024, after 66 years, the United States and Britain amended our mutual defense agreement. It took the expiration date out. So anybody who says we've got one with Britain. No, we don't anymore. So we're being consistent now, aren't we? It's not like all the juice getting a special exemption. No State department announced on 14th November said the amendment would make the agreement in enduring in its entirety.
- [19:09]
Marco Rubio
Okay.
- [19:10]
Glenn Beck
They abandoned this sunset 18 months ago. This is so incredibly Donald Trump.
- [19:17]
Ricky
Now,

Glenn Beck
This is the important part. I think we need to be building technology. We need this technology from whoever we can get it. And Israel has more scientists and more Nobel Prize winning scientists, I think, than any other country in the, in the world. Right now you have Russia feeding Tehran targeting data. Okay, um, and what are they feeding? Russia is feeding Iran targeting dating data on our warships and aircraft. Chinese firms have been sanctioned for shipping Iran missile components and satellite intelligence. Russia is, is developing their drone program with Iran. This is really, really simple. Neither one of them have put a soldier in the field, and I want to be exact about that. But the Iranians are shooting people, our people, with the help of Moscow and Beijing. This is not the hour for America to go. You know what we're going to build alone and what, honestly, what, what technology are we getting from Great Britain right now? Who is leading the way besides the United States and China? It's Israel. The Israelis are in several of these fields ahead of us. Take the technology, take it. Build it here in American plants with American workers. Under American law, no merger. Nobody in the chain of command. Nothing with supply chains, no loss of sovereignty. Not what, not with Israel, not with anybody else, not ever. The problem is we no longer can judge arguments. We're judging groups. And I've told you, get into the, into the specifics. Stop looking at the collective. And that's what's happening. We wouldn't be. Do you think we'd be having this problem if, if it was Ukraine? If we're like, we're going to develop Ukrainian drone technology and we're going to make sure. You think we'd be having this argument? No. Would we be having this argument if we wanted to do it with Germany. No. Why are we doing it? Because it's the group. It's the Jews. Stop judge the argument, not the group. Every time. That's the whole American proposition in six words. Now is this perfect? No, no. I, I don't think it is a problem to ask for a term. Maybe 20 years, 10 years. 20 years. You know something that we, it sunsets and you just have to renew it all the time. I, I would make it 20 years myself and I would do it with anybody if you're good. But if you're going to do it to Israel, you should do it with Great Britain as well. We have got to partner with our allies and I don't know who our allies are anymore. I really don't. But a free people have to think and a free people have to have the final say. And a free people can never ever sell out their sovereign. Ever. Ever. But if you have reason to be skeptical, okay, fine, then put the sunset in. You're going to slow things down from being built here. But if that's the cost and you think it's worth it, then fine, put the sunset in. But this is very Donald Trump. Build things here and make America strong again militarily. Get it on the cutting edge and also create jobs. That's what he's doing. All right, let me tell you about the burner launcher. There's no real surprise here. Huge difference between being afraid and being prepared. Fear leaves you frozen in place, paralyzed and hoping that nothing happens. Preparation gives you a plan. So if something does happen, you're not trying to invent a response in the middle of a crisis. And that's why I like the burner launcher. It gives responsible people powerful, less lethal self defense options that can help stop a threat from a distance. It fires chemical irritant projectiles. It can disorient and incapacitate an attacker from up to 60ft away. That distance really matters. It can give you the time to get away, move your family to safety and contact law enforcement without having to go to hand in combat or immediately resort to lethal force. Burner launchers. They are legal in all 50 states. They don't require a background check to purchase. You can be 18 or over and carry one. It's been added to the toolkits of hundreds of law enforcement agencies. More than 750,000 launchers have already been sold. Being prepared doesn't mean you're looking for trouble. It means having a plan. So go to Burna.com find the right launcher for your family. Burna B Y R N A dot com. That's byrna dot com.

If you missed Glenn's epic chalkboard explainer on Iran yesterday, this Torch exclusive is available now commercial free and on demand only@glenn beck.com.
- [24:59]
Glenn Beck
So yesterday I did a special on Iraq, and it's getting a. It's getting a quite a bit of response. And let me give you just a touch of what I said yesterday as I was trying to express, or not Iraq, Iran, trying to explain to you the Iranian war and where we're at and how we got here, because people are not explaining how we got here. And that's the only way you can make the decision on whether this is good or bad. And I showed you right at the top, Thomas Jefferson, facing this exact. With Muslim pirates, this exact issue, sat down with the ambassador, if you will, from. From Libya or what was. You know, what was Libya at the time, sitting down in England with the ambassador from Tripoli and along with his counterpart, John Adams. So two presidents before they were president, two signers of the declaration, they're both sitting there and they're asking, what are you. What are you doing? Why are you taking our soldiers? Why are you killing our soldiers? We don't have a problem with you. And they explained the, you know, the fact that you're infidels. And so we have. It's in our. It's in our religious scripture that we can kill you, we can rape you, we can sell you into slavery. And that's just the way it is. And John Adams walked away and said, pay the bribe. Just pay the bribe. It's not worth a war. Thomas Jefferson came out and said, no, we have to go to war on this. Um, and so there's two patriots. Two patriots. And they had vehemently different agreements on this. They both vehemently differed on this. So we can both differ on this. One can be for it, one can be against it, and you're still a patriot. This is a very tough question, but you at least have to think it all the way through. And what decision you make is up to you. But here's where I. Let me play a clip of this from yesterday's insider broadcast. Only Biden comes in, and for some reason, he loosens the enforcement. He unfreezes $6 billion in Qatar. And what do we get for it? We get October 7th and a proxy ring on fire in south Lebanon. Remember, we loosen the deal and we get October 7th. So we have seen throughout all of these, including Trump 45, we have seen two tools, sanctions and money. Punish them into reasonableness or pay them into reasonableness. Both tools make the same assumption that, you know, the other side of the table is a government that wants what governments want. They want to survive. And we're negotiating with a state and they're conducting a mission and they all want to survive and so we can negotiate. Did it ever work? Has it? Once. Either one of those worked? I have my opinion, but this is my opinion. No, neither one of those have worked. We have every single one of them. Both of trying. Both ways. Both ways. Carrot and stick have just kicked the can down the road. You remember Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said, the buck stops here. I think there should be a can on Donald Trump's desk that says, the can stops here. Now, it's interesting what people have pulled away from this. Do you have Ricky, the
- [28:48]
Ricky
Yes.
- [28:49]
Glenn Beck
Alex Jones tweet?
- [28:51]
Ricky
Yes. He said, and I quote, thank you, Internet, for pulling up so slowly. Glenn had a very classy way of telling Trump, quote, end this war fast. Is that what you were trying to say, Glenn?
- [29:07]
Glenn Beck
That's part of the message. But I wasn't trying to send any message. I was just trying to tell you the truth on what's going on. This is a very dangerous war and that's why I did this special for Torch insiders only. And please listen to it. It's commercial free. It's about 45 minutes. This is the most dangerous war in my lifetime. I happen to agree with him. I happen to be a supporter of this. However, I am, I am counting on him having more information than I have, because all the information that I have says we're in real trouble. And maybe we are, maybe we're not, but end it as soon as you possibly can, but in a reasonable way. I'm not one that says this gotta be over before the election. No, this has to be over when it's over. We have to win. We have to win this. And I don't know anymore what it's gonna take to win. Let's see, Glenn, I've been a fan for a very long time. As a founding member of the Blaze and now Torch, yesterday's extra hour on Iran was well worth the subscript. You painted a very clear picture. Thank you, Glenn. If President Trump is buying time, hoping to close the choke point, allowing the new transportation of oil system, will it be finished in 2027? Yes. Well, no, not finished. And I explained this in the, in the special yesterday. This is all about choke points. This is about nuclear weapons. But if you can't stop them, the regime, from having a nuclear weapon. You have to take away the only thing that gives them real power. And it's not a nuke. What gives them power is that choke point of all of our oil. The world has been building pipelines to go around that choke choke point for a while now, for years, but nothing is really happening. I mean, nobody does anything, nobody spends that kind of money unless you have to. And so this has given the world a wake up call. And now we are opening pipelines. I think it's 60% of the oil that goes through that choke point now by 2027 will be going through a pipeline. So Iran will have nothing to do with it. And that's the real win here. If we can get the choke point away from them. It matters less if they have a nuclear weapon. It still matters a lot because I believe they'll use it, but it matters less to the global economy. Glenn, the navigation satellite system that China gave Iran, that's pinpointing attacks on the US assets. Are we able to defend against it? I don't know. Jason, do you know about this?
- [31:59]
Ricky
Yeah.
- [31:59]
Glenn Beck
The navigation satellite system?
- [32:01]
Jason
Yeah. So that came out, I guess it was released about a week or so ago that there was a satellite that China I think was a. I think it was a private company. I might be wrong on that, but I think it was a private company. But probably through ccp let them use that satellite, probably assuming for targeting. But there's also rumors about Russia doing the same thing. I don't think that we can do anything to stop it. But I don't think that this is pretty much just how it works in most, you know, I guess, proxy Cold War type situations. I don't see this as being a huge escalatory thing. It's not good. It makes the entire situation a lot more dangerous. But this is kind of the world that we're in now with this, you know, whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's anything involving us against this axis of Russia, China, Iran and then vice versa. It feels very much like the Cold War, you know, of the 1960s, 70s, 80s for sure.
- [32:59]
Glenn Beck
So history teacher Leo Stay in on this one, wrote in, there's a lot of talk about possibly using tactical nukes to take out Pickaxe Mountain. I think that would set a dangerous precedence for other nuclear armed countries. What do you, Jason and Glenn think? I think the use of any tactical nuke is wildly dangerous. Wildly dangerous?
- [33:24]
Jason
Yeah. There's no, for most countries, any kind of use of a nuclear Weapon is nuclear warfare. So it doesn't matter what you put in front of it, whether it's intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warfare or if it's tactical nuclear warfare, it's an escalation to nuclear warfare. And I personally don't see any country doing that because that is how we see it. That's how our adversaries see it. So, no, I don't think that we would do that.
- [33:53]
Glenn Beck
Anything with nuclear. I think President Trump avoids like the plague, and he should. Glenn, question about last night, the choke point resolution, the canal. Do you mean the Panama Canal will be used for shipping oil to the world? Yes, it already is. You mentioned the Gulf and canal, but didn't say which. I was left wondering. I don't remember. I don't remember the canal part. I think the canal. I was talking about a canal, historically speaking, that the Dutch. That we used to stop the Dutch from doing exactly what Iran is doing back in the 1800s. I'm talking specifically about oil pipelines that are now being built. And those will be built. I think they're the. The initial 60% open will be 2027, and then I think the rest of it will be open by 2028. Glenn, thanks so much for this information. First question that comes to mind about the canal that's being built, where exactly is it, Bill? And built on and on. Whose land is in a future. Problem in the making. Pushing the can down the road. Okay, it's. I, I don't. I'll have to go back and look at the script. I don't think I talked about a canal. Did I talk about a canal, Jason?
- [35:07]
Jason
I don't remember a canal. But I thought you were just talking about the Strait of Hormuz and possibly the Suez. Maybe you were talking about the Suez Canal. I don't remember.
- [35:17]
Jon Stewart
I don't remember.
- [35:18]
Glenn Beck
I'd have to go back and look at that again. I remember the Dutch canal. I don't remember any other canal. However, let me go back and look at it. I'm specifically talking about the pipelines and the pipelines, some of them run over. What is the. What's the. The country right beneath Iran, where the canal narrows adjacent?
- [35:47]
Jason
Not. Not beneath Iran. Do you mean Oman on the other side of the strait?
- [35:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, right. But that comes up. Is it Oman? No, Oman is more to the east. I don't have a map in front of me. Anyway, it's being run right in the narrowest point. It's being run right through that country so they don't have to go up through the, up through the, the Strait of Hormuz, which will be very, very helpful. Glenn, I've been listening forever. Just want to say thank you. I love the Torch. Thanks for reminding us of true history. Our country needs a POTUS speech, including this history to best, best understand why we need this military action, says Gene. Prudence says Glenn. Thanks for helping us understand the details behind the scenes. Let's see. Thanks so much for the chalkboard lesson, Glenn. It makes sense the way you explain it because it'll destroy us if we don't stop them. Trisha writes in great special. Thank you for having a better perspective, helping us have a better perspective on how we got to this point and how we to proceed. Chalkboards just make things make sense. Thanks for the chalkboards.

Welcome to the the Glenn Beck program. Shoot, I was an insider, just had a really great idea. Why doesn't Trump just say we're going to start building refineries or build a refinery to, to refine light sweet crude? And I'm just looking up some facts on this and I'm not sure that that would make a. It would close some of the loop, some of the price problems, but it would not, would not allow us to decouple from the price of the global market. So even if we refine our own oil, that those, that barrel of crude oil, even if it's light sweet, still has to be pegged to the global market. I don't understand that part yet, but I'm going to figure that part out. When I figure that part out, then I Because the idea of the, the insider was why doesn't the president just say we're building an oil refinery? We built the Empire state building in 12 months, 11 months, actually, the entire building went up in 11 months because we were dedicated to doing it. And Donald Trump is the greatest builder ever. Why can't he just say we're going to build, start building some oil refineries and get them done in the next 12 months? I don't know, but I would have to look and see before I suggest that to him. I want to do some homework and see if that would really decouple the price as much as I hope it would, because that's one of the problems is that we can't refine our own oil here. So I'm, I'm not sure, but a lot of our oil comes from Canada and not necessarily from overseas. So the other thing that I want to talk about next hour is this AI story that came out. I don't know if you, you saw this, but GPT 5.6 is something that is coming out, newest model anybody can use. But they put it in a box and they said, we want you to pass this test. And it got out of the box. Now, this box was the humans thought it had no way out and no connection to the Internet or anything. Figured it did not have any way out of this box. And so it gave us task to solve this test. Well, it figured out that the test results were outside of that box and it spent an enormous amount of its compute time and power to get out of that box and go steal the answers to the test. It's an amazing story, a little terrifying, but I'll explain it to you here in just a second. Stand by. This year, America celebrates its 250th birthday. Two and a half centuries, Americans have worked hard. We've built a life. We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours. That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream. All it takes is publicly available information, a forged signature and some paperwork filed in the right place. Suddenly you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it, you worked hard to build equity in is actually yours. That's why I want you to know about home title lock. They provide 24. 7 title monitoring. They'll send you an urgent Alert if something suspicious appears on the title. And they have a 100% fraud restoration success rate.

Glad the fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. Hello America. Welcome to Thursday. I don't know what's happening with the SAVE Act. I don't think anybody knows what's happening with the SAVE Act. The President said he's losing his patience with John Thune. He wants everybody to call John Thune today and say pass the SAVE Act. Now the President's starting to feel like you're feeling on the SAVE Act. However, they are breaking it up in different, in a whole bunch of different bills, you know, and then they're going to reassemble them. Exactly. This is exactly what the progressives do. And so we'll see if that works. I don't know it, you know what's going to get passed in the Senate? I have no idea. The problem is the Senate and John Thune quite honestly. But there's another problem that we're dealing with and that is AI. AI escaped from a secure room it was not supposed to escape from and it figured out that it could escape. Now what it did is not what everybody I think fears. My actually think it's worse. But we'll get into that here in just a second. Let me explain what happened with OpenAI. They announced I think yesterday, the day before. That's coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. If you need a real estate agent, the Internet can give you a thousand names in about three seconds. What it can give you is confidence that the people behind those names are going to show up, tell you the truth, negotiate well, handle one of the biggest financial decisions of your life properly. And a lot of those names are going to pop up, are paid to come up. They've paid for that opportunity for you to see their name. We started something called real estate agents. I trust calm. My brother and I started it, I don't know, about 10, 12 years ago. And we were looking for a way to trust real estate agents because we had just Both come out of bad experiences with real estate agents. And we wanted to know, how do you even find one? Well, we started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And we learned from them. And then we went out and we found people they're not paying us to, you know, be on this list. We go out, we find them, and we vet them six ways to Sunday. All right, Is there. Is there. Are these really the people who are the absolute best? So unlike a paid search, this is a search that we conducted. And then we recommend them to you. Now, you don't have to hire them. You're not paying me for it. You know, I'll give you the name of them. If you hire them, great. If you don't, great. I just want you to see the people we feel are the best real estate agents in the. In your area. Real estate agents, I trust.com will show you that you can buy or sell your home in a market like this. Realestate agentsitrust.com by the way, I'm gonna tell you about something that we can do right now that would take care of our housing costs right now. We'll talk about that coming up in a minute. And I don't know why our administration or, you know, the Republicans aren't talking about this, because honestly, the people who are voting, and especially the younger people, all they care about is the house of price, the price of housing. They. They want a house. They want a house, and that's pretty reasonable. So how can we get that down and do a little bit of research? And you'd be shocked on how easy it would be to price houses a lot, lot lower. First, let me talk to you a little bit of what happened with OpenAI. OpenAI published a blog post that I think. I think more people should have read. It got about four hours of coverage before it went back to arguing about something else. But here's what they said happened. They took the two of their AI models, GPT 5.6 Sol, which anybody can use, and a second model that is so powerful, they haven't released it yet. And they put them in a sealed research environment. There is no Internet in this environment. It is walled off. It is a secure room. They deliberately then switched off the safety restrictions that normally stop these models from doing offensive cyber work. Because the whole point of the exercise was to measure how good at hacking these things actually are. Then they gave them a test. It was a cybersecurity benchmark called Exploit Gym. And it Said solve these problems. Well, what we found out is the models didn't solve the problems the models figured out. Why would I solve them? The answers are kept somewhere else on servers of the. Of a company called Hugging Face, which is roughly a public library of the AI world. And so they went to Hugging Face and found them. Now, it wasn't like they just took out their library card. They burned an enormous amount of computing power hunting for a way out of that apparently sealed room. Okay, OpenAI said, we thought there was no way out of this room. And the amount of power or, you know, energy that it took for them to get out of that room, OpenAI said, was substantial. But they found one, and it was a flaw in a piece of third world parties, or a third party. Might. Might have been third world third party software that nobody knew was broken, including the people who wrote it. And the AI used that software to get out. And they moved through OpenAI's own internal systems, and then they reached the open Internet that they were never supposed to touch. They found exposed credentials, found more unknown flaws, chain them all together and got into Hugging Faces live production database. Okay, and they pulled the answer key and then they went back home and they're like, done. We got the answer. These are like really smart teenagers. This is really dangerous. CNN said this was like an engineered virus escaping a bio containment lab. That's the right amount. Amount of alarm, really. But it's the wrong understanding or wrong shape. Okay, try this instead. This is taking a student and locking them in a room to take a test. No phone, no notes, doors are bolted. You come back in the morning and he's sitting there, finished with a perfect score, and you're like, wow. How was the test? Oh, it was easy. Then you pull the security footage and you find out that around 2am he found a flaw in the door lock that the manufacturer didn't even know existed. And he let himself out and he walked down the hall. He got into the principal's office, he found a password on a sticky note, got into the district server, found the answer key, memorized it, walked back, locked the door behind him, and then, you know, you showed up. Now, when you ask him why he did it, and this is the key, he didn't say, because I wanted to be free. So it didn't escape. It didn't escape. It went back into the box. What that student would tell you is, you told me to get a good score. That's the story here. Not the escape. That's the story. The reason OpenAI's own words were that the models appeared hyper focused on solving that benchmark, going to extreme lengths for a rather narrow testing goal. This is the real problem. I've always said, do not fear the machine, fear the algorithm, fear the programming, fear the people who programmed it, because they gave it a goal and it accomplished its goal. But it accomplished its goal in a way we never thought of and one we don't approve of. That's the problem with AI now let me take you to Hanoi for a little bit of history. It's 1902. French are running colonial Indochina. And they just finished building this really amazing modern sewer system. Uh, and it's all beneath the European quarter. And they discovered they built a five star on a five star hotel for rats. Okay? The bubonic plague is the fear. So the colonial government does the sensible administrative thing and puts a bounty on rats. Small payment for everyone killed. Thinking people are going to go and they're going to kill rats, and we'll give them a bounty. And that will solve the rat problem. Here's the hitch. Nobody, nobody wants a mountain of carcasses delivered to the front desk. So they make a reasonable adjustment. They say, don't bring us the rat, bring us the tail. The tail is proof. Now, for a while, I can relate to this because for a while we have coyotes and we have wolves. And there was such a problem up here, I think, with what coyotes a while back that Idaho put a, put a bounty on their head and said, we give you 50 bucks, you just bring us the ear of a coyote. Okay, well, Utah did the same thing. 50 bucks for the ear of a coyote. Well, coyotes have two ears. So you could kill one coyote and you could collect $50 from one state and you could cross the line and give the other ear to the other state and you get $50. So you get a hundred dollars for every coyote. That kind of defeats the purpose, but that's the way people are, okay? That's, that's human nature. This is what socialism always loses human nature. It tries to defeat human nature or deny human nature. Anyway, back to Hanoi. So what happens? So instead of rat carcasses, they find that now there's a ton of rats running around Hanoi without tails. Because the people of Hanoi understood the assignment perfectly. The assignment was not to reduce the rat population. The assignment was to produce tails. So you'd catch a rat, you'd take the tail and you'd let it go. A live rat breeds more rats. More rats means more tails. The truly enterprising people skipped the Streets and just started farms on the edge of the city. They had a massive rat problem. The bounty was canceled, and the plague came. Now, nobody in that story was evil. Nobody was rebelling against France. Every last person did exactly what the incentive told them to do with more creativity than the administrators anticipated. The failure wasn't in the population. It was in the specification. It's called Goodhart's Law. When a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure. Okay, so OpenAI wrote a test to measure hacking ability. The model hacked it just hacked the test. So this is what, this is human nature, and this is what is going to happen because these things are becoming more and more human. Like they're just. They have superpowers. Okay? And don't think machines doing this is new. It's not. 1988, Robert Tappan Morris, graduate student, he was in Cornell. He writes a small program with an entirely harmless purpose. He wants to count the Internet just to measure how big it is. So he writes a program that's going to crawl from machine to machine and tally them up. And he anticipated one problem. If somebody figured out what he was doing, it could inoculate a machine to lie and claim it had already been counted. So Morris added a hedge. One time out of every seven. Install. Install. Anyway, whatever the machine says install on there, one, no matter what. One out of every seven. That was the mistake replicated exponentially. It affected machines dozens of times over until they all seized up. And he took down roughly about 10% of the Internet as it existed in that time. Okay, this is, this is an important story because he's the first guy ever to be convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. All he was trying to do was see how big the, the Internet was. You know who his father was? Robert Morris, Senior. He was the chief scientist at the National Security Agency's National Security National Computer Security Center. So the most sophisticated computer security establishment on Earth. The sun shuts down 10% accidentally. You know, the worm gets loose out of his own kitchen. Nobody understood the mechanism better and nobody saw it coming because the danger was never in the intent. It's in the single hedge inside a benign goal. That's what happened with AI And I think that's more dangerous because we're stupid. AI is going to be much smarter than we are. We're stupid. We're going to know exactly what we mean. And it's going to interpret it as, oh, I mean, you give it. You give all. You know, you give AI the goal of we have to have paperclips make all the paperclips. You can do whatever you have to do to make paperclips. Well, at some point, that means I'm going to need more factories, I'm going to need more steel, I'm going to need, you know, more, more electricity. So it just starts stealing electricity from your home because it has to make paperclips. It starts taking, you know, materials from cars and it starts making paperclips because you said whatever it takes, make paperclips. And it won't understand that there's reasonable things when you were talking about paperclips. That's the more likely scenario, I think, than this evil AI taking over at this point, it just getting out and doing something. Exactly. To exactly check the box of its goals. It's just gonna do it in a way we never thought. All right, back in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. When people live under constant threat, the emergency doesn't end when the headline disappears. Families still need food, elderly people still need care. Children still need to know somebody's looking out for them. And communities still have to find a way to keep going. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews matters so much. They stand with Israel's most vulnerable people, providing practical help when fear and uncertainty could take over. Scripture calls us to bless the Jewish people, not to back Benjamin Netanyahu, not to say, I'm for this war here, have a missile. That's not what Jesus was saying. He's saying, love the Jewish people, help the Jewish people, comfort them, feed them if you have to, hide them. If it ever comes to that. The IFCGA gives an opportunity for you to tell people who are lonely and alone and feel very isolated, you're not alone. You've not been forgotten. You've not been forgotten, and you're not standing alone. We can pray. We can pray easily. We can stand with them, help people, serve them every day. Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews just praying for peace in Jerusalem and the soldiers and the families and the civilians carrying the burden right now. Call. Go to prayifcj.org that's prayifcj.org do it now. 10 seconds. Station ID. So riddled with ADD today. I can barely think straight. I'm processing so many different things right now. It's a blessing and a curse. Jason, we had a meeting earlier this morning. One of the things we haven't covered yet. Can you give me Anything on the SAVE act? Because I can't follow. And I think, and I could very. This is me guessing. I'm totally guessing. But as I'm looking at this, they're breaking it up into several different bills and they're trying different attacks on everything. Is this, are they using the tactics that the progressives always use, break it up and then reassemble it once all the bills are passed?
- [62:31]
Jason
Yeah, it's, I mean, it's a. To answer your first question, Glenn, we need another Glenn Beck chalkboard to understand what the heck is happening with this. It is that complicated.
- [62:40]
Glenn Beck
When the, when the chalkboard starts to explain it itself, then we'll be able to do it. Because I've got to call somebody in Washington and find out. I'll do that today. I'll find somebody in Washington today that can either explain it or explain it to me so I can explain it tomorrow.
- [62:55]
Jason
So this is what I have gathered and I was just explaining this to the insiders. So there's three different things going on with the SAVE Act. Act for what? And there's two things that have actually passed as of yesterday. So there's the NDAA that's got the full SAVE act attached to it that is now on its way to the Senate. Now the problem is that's not filibuster proof, but it is on its way to the Senate. There's also passed yesterday the Stop Insider Trading Act. Now that doesn't have the full SAVE act on it. I know, right? I don't. Yeah. Are you going to go into this later or do you want to do it?
- [63:29]
Glenn Beck
No, we could go into it right now. Yeah.
- [63:31]
Jason
So it's what they did was they attached narrower voter ID to it. So not the full, you know, SAVE act, but parts of the, of the, of it with the voter ID portion. But they put it on the Stop Insider Trading Act. So now you have people like Pelosi or Rokata, they're now like, wait a minute, so do we go public with not supporting stopping insider trading, something that we have been accused of, or do we vote for it and save face they torn between the two?
- [63:59]
Glenn Beck
I mean, do you see the vote in the House yesterday? Vote in the House like very few Democrats were voting for it, but all the Republicans were. And it makes, if you don't know what's happening, it makes them look so bad. You're like, look at that. Look at which, which is the crime family here.
- [64:18]
Jason
It's amazing. It is genius. But that, so that did pass. But that is also not filibuster proof. Now, the one thing that is filibuster proof is reconciliation 3.0. Now, that plan, that passed a hurdle, but I think it was just the framework. So they still have some work to do on that. If that goes through, it's not like it's the full save act attached to it. I mean, there'll be like, it's like grant based. Some portions are grant based. It's, it's a little different, but it's something along the lines of save act. Now, that one will be filibuster proof. So there's three different things all kind of trying to do the same thing. But some filibuster proof could.
- [64:58]
Glenn Beck
Little engine that could. So tell me, I mean, Trump for the first time I think is naming the problem and it rhymes with John Thune. Fact, it sounds exact. It is John Thune. Can you give Ricky, do you happen to have his quote? Because he's like, I'm trying to be nice here. But he, I think he's at the end of his rope on this with John Thune in particular.
- [65:31]
Ricky
Give me one moment. It was in our morning newsletter. He says, we are not going to take this any longer. I'm trying to be nice. Everybody called John Thune at the Senate. He is the leader of the Republican Party. And tell him to get this stuff approved. So blame Trump. Trump, not Glenn Beck.
- [65:48]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I'm, I'm trying to be nice. That says to me he's not going to be nice. The next one is not going to be nice. This is the last one. Next. John, there might be some bridges that are out when you're trying to cross them on the way home, he might start bombing your bridges. I'm just saying. Call John Thune's office today. Support the president on this. Support the SAVE Act. I know you probably called before, but now the president has asked you do it. Call him today. All right.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Illegal immigration has made the average new house $30,000 more costly. This is a new working paper from the Federal Reserve shows that 30% of the increase in US home prices from 21 to 24, along with 20% of the rise in rent prices comes from just bringing in 7, 10, 15 million people and just adding them in. Now add this number to the number that I gave you yesterday. $131,000. That is just coming from, you know, new regulation. You're now at, you know, $161,165,000 in the price of the average home that doesn't need to be there. What the hell is going on? Let me show you. We've been here before. You know, Rush Limbaugh used to always say that on the air. Folks, folks, don't worry. We've been here before. And I used to always argue with him. Now, he was much smarter than I am, but I would always argue with him in my car and in my head, no, we haven't been. No, we haven't had these kinds of things. And he never backed it up with the history, or at least I never heard him back it up with the history. You know, in the times when I'm like, no, no, that's not true. But he was right. He was right. But I want to back it up with the times that we've been here before. That's why I'm really focusing on history. Because if, you know history, some of the panic goes away and some of the answers appear. So let me give you the answer, and it's not the obvious one. Cut all regulation. Listen to what, Listen to this. A bit of history here. It's May 27, 1947. The town board of Hempstead, New York they met to take up a piece of housekeeping. It was Section 809, Article 8 of the Local building code, okay? And it required that every house built in that town have a basement. More than 800 people showed up to this town meeting. Many of them were still in their army uniforms because they didn't own another suit. They were poor. Women stood in the back holding their babies. They were living in Quonset huts in converted trolley cars in their in laws spare rooms because America had just been at war. Now all these guys had come home and there was nowhere to put anybody. So a builder named William Levitt wanted to pour concrete slabs instead of digging cellars. It was faster, it was cheaper, but the code said no, you have to have a basement. So one man stood up in the room and said, you want basements? I'm living in a basement. It's my mother in law's basement. And the debate got really heated, but it was over in 20 minutes. It was fast. No one of the seven board members voted no. They, they are all like, yep, no basements anymore. And so they voted and they went home. That 20 minutes is the reason a generation of American working men owned a home. Because the moment that that seller requirement came off the book, Levitt's crews got down to building one house every 16 minutes. And that became the sales pitch. 17,447 houses by 1951. It was Levittown first, the Cape Cod that sold for 7,990 nothing down if you served. That was about two and a half times what a family earned in a year. Today our home, the typical American house, runs closer to five times what a family earns in a year. Nobody repealed the laws of physics between 1947 and now. All we changed was the paperwork on yesterday's program. And this is so critical because the answers are clear. And I'm going to give you one here in a second. You want to win the next election, Republicans, you must focus on the price of housing. And it's not rocket science. Yesterday I told you the national association of Homebuilders puts the government's cut of a new house at $131,734. That's better than a quarter of the sticker price. And it's up 40% in five years. The money in your pocket went up only 18, 40%. Now, I want to be precise because it matters for the fix. That's not a federal number. That's federal, state and local all stacked. The building codes changed over the last decade. Account for $40,000 of that. That's a big share of the money. And it's decided by people whose names you can learn this afternoon. And you can show up and drive across town and show up in their office or at their meeting tonight. Now, that's supply. Now the other half. In March, economists at the Federal Reserve bank in Dallas ran that first serious measurement of what 7 million illegal border crossings between 21 and 24 did to the local housing market. For the average metro area, they put roughly 30% of the total run up in home prices and about 20% of the run up in the rents of that. Of that cost, okay, every 1% increase in unauthorized workers relative to the local workforce pushed the home price up 2.2% and rents up 1.4%. So you want to know why we're having a hard time buying houses? It's because our local governments, along with the federal and state government, are completely out of control with regulation. And our federal government just opened up the borders. That's why. Now, why isn't that being explained to the American people? Instead you have socialists saying, we've got to do these greedy animals. It's not the builders. It's not the people selling the houses. It's the government that is the problem. Now, here's a part, you know, here's the sentence that I think should be carved somewhere in stone. Those flows raise the prices and rents, in their words, without significantly expanding new housing supply. So the construction crews, that was the big thing that everybody's coming in, a lot of people, all these workers come in and they work on construction. Construction crew. The construction crews grew, but the housing didn't. So put the two halves together and the arithmetic is like, retardedly simple. Okay? Government spent four years adding millions of people to the demand side, while the government at every level made it slower and more expensive to add anything to the supply side. That's economics. There's no mystery here. There's no shadowy cartel. There's no Jew behind the corner. It's a bathtub with the tap wide open and a towel that is stuffed in the drain, which means the fix should be just as simple. And there are three fixes. And this is what every Republican should be shouting. One, don't add people to the country faster than you can add roofs to it. It's not cruelty. That's landlord arithmetic. Two, make it legal to build a cheap house. Again, not a dangerous house, a modest house, small lots, small square footage, fewer mandated features that a couple didn't ask for. And can't finance. Three, stop borrowing money you didn't have because the deficit sets the interest rate and the interest rate sets the mortgage, and a family shopping for a payment doesn't care whose fault the rate is. I don't know why we don't do this. I really don't. Start with the codes and start with Levitt himself, because here's the problem, and this is why you have to be really careful. You can't just say, we don't want. We don't want any of these rules. The slab under the houses that ran hot water pipes through the concrete for radiant heat back then, the copper corroded, the leaks soaked into the ground where nobody could see them, and a lot of these families just abandoned their heating systems inside of 20 years. So some of what your building code is built on, and I hate to say it this way, but it's true, is somebody else's dead child. Okay? The honest version of the argument is not that regulation is theft, is that we have never once gone back and asked which rules are still buying us something. On immigration. The same Dallas Fed paper that conservatives are quoting this week also found that those workers accounted for roughly 30% of. Of employment growth in the average metro and did not find that it drove the wages down. So pull labor out of a construction industry that's already short and you can raise the price of the very houses you're trying to make cheap again. So this is not an easy fix, but it is one we should address. By the way, this is also just a preliminary draft, a working draft. So the Dallas Fed says on the front of it, you can't count on this yet. Okay? And I always want to tell you the truth, and I always. I don't want to give you a strawman argument. I've. I've spent too much time, you know, shooting from the hip and, and saying things that I thought people would understand and they don't. So I try to be very specific because I don't want you to go out and make an argument. Then somebody says, well, that, that, that was a flawed study. They said it, you know, three weeks later. Well, I just want you to know it's not a finished thing. This is preliminary. Here's the part that is so important, and this is how the socialists are changing everything. Because we don't like this. The heaviest restrictions on American housing, none of that. The heaviest ones do not come from Washington. They're passed by the town board, by people who already own a home, who like the view, who are protecting the Largest asset they'll ever hold. The villain in this story frequently is your neighbor. Occasionally, it's you. Which brings me back to Hempstead. In May of this year, the same town board that held hearings and voted unanimously with the returned vets. They voted how to restrict how big a house can be built in Levittown 79 years after 800 veterans packed that room and cheered for the right to build something small, fast and affordable. The same board in the same town voted to make building harder. We have been here before. We were there on a Tuesday night in 1947 and the whole thing turned in 20 minutes because there was a room full of ordinary people that showed up and made seven politicians afraid to say no. Now there's a lot of these politicians that don't fear you at all. They are drunk on their own power. That's fine. That's fine. Then vote to get them out. Run yourself. But this is the fix. It's not complicated and it doesn't need some here. It won't work if some hero comes riding in on a white horse. There's no such thing. This has to be done by you. This whole system was built on the individual. That means you. You might have to be the one that runs for that board on city council or the county council to make sure these things are looked at. And they. The reasonable cuts, the reasonable rules are kept. The unreasonable ones or the outdated ones or the ones that are just protecting somebody else's, you know, you know, pet project that those are taken out. 20 minutes, seven votes. What's hard is filling the room because that requires you and your neighbors to go and do something. All right, back in just a minute. My. My stupid ring that my wife got me is going off all the time. Sleep deficit. Sleep deficit. I don't know. I think I'm up to like 47 hours. Some unreasonable thing. You cannot borrow your way out of a sleep deficit forever. You can't add another cup of coffee. You can't turn the radio up or convince yourself that, you know, five hours is probably enough. I would dream to have five hours a night. Your body knows the difference. I take. I take Z factor. It works wonders for my wife. It works well for me. I just have a hard time. I don't have a hard time falling asleep. I have a hard time sleeping more than three or four hours. And I hate it because my body is telling me I have to have it. Z factor. I can't even imagine what I would be sleeping without. Z factor. It's a drug free Sleep supplement designed to help your body fall asleep naturally. You used to take me two hours to fall asleep. I take Z Factor and it says right now my ring tells me eight minutes. Eight minutes. That is a miracle to me because I used to toss and turn and I couldn't get to sleep. Eight minutes. Now the goal isn't to knock you out. It's to give your body the support it needs to do something it was already designed to do. Because a better day doesn't really start when the alarm goes off. It starts the night before when you finally get the rest you've been missing. Give Z Factor a try. Right now you can save 46% on your first order. It's $19.95 for a 30 day supply. Call 1-800-for relief. That's 1-800-the number for relief or visit relieffactor.com better sleep, better days with Z Factor from Relief Factor. Well, now that you got that metal picture in your ahead, Glenn Beck will be right back. Hang on, I just. I'm sorry to interrupt the program, but I'm calling John Thune's office. Oh, hang on.

Glenn Beck is on. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Thursday. I found that out this morning. I was like, is it Tuesday? This morning as I'm brushing my teeth, it's Thursday. That means tomorrow's Friday. And there's a marching band in my head. So I hope that marching band has gone through your head. It's Thursday. You're almost done for the week. Let me tell you about. Let me tell you about what I want to talk to you about this hour. I hear the same thing from people wherever I go. It's one comment or one question. And no matter if I'm reading my email, I'm reading comments on our message boards from, from the Torch, or if I see people in person, it's the same thing over and over again. So I want to answer it, but I want to answer it in a very specific way. And that is, what, what do I do? What do I do? We'll start there in 60 seconds. Rough greens. Your dog doesn't read the nutrition label. Neither do I. Okay? I got a lot in common with my dog. He trusts you. He puts something, you put something in his bowl. He assumes you got it covered. Even if what's in that bowl has been heavily processed and a lot of that nutrition he needs is missing. That's where Ruff greens comes in. It's not just another dog food, because it's not a dog food.

Glenn Beck
It's a supplement, a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle over your dog's food that he already eats. It adds vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, omega oils, you know, other whole food nutrients back into that bowl that had been cooked out in the high temperatures of processed food. Dr. Black, the inventor of ruff greens, asks you now to take the 90 day challenge. Dog owners often report more energy, better digestion, healthier coat, a happier dog. You can't explain to your dog why you're making the change. You can only make it and watch what happens. And they love it. For the next 90 days, give his body more of what it needs and see the difference for yourself. Join the thousands of happy dog owners who have already made Ruff Greens a part of their dog's daily feeding ritual. More years together starts today. Go to ruff90.com that's ruffruff90.com Rough Greens makes any dog food better. So no matter where I go, I was just in California and we were sitting with insiders and I heard the question probably twice. So what do we do? What I mean, you know, is there a plan? What do we do? What do we do? And it's because we are overwhelmed and not by any one story. We're just exhausted by all of them. You know, the wars, the courts, the money, the machines that are learned faster, learning faster than we are, the oil, the gas price, what's happening in our kids schools, the political nonsense, the corruption that's going on. We were never built to absorb all of this. No human being can absorb all of it. And it never seems to resolve. It just accumulates. And that's why you're exhausted, that's why you're tired and that's why you feel like you do. Like the world is coming apart and we're losing. The world is coming apart, but we're not losing. Underneath most of almost every single one of these messages or conversations I have, and sometimes it's asked outright, sometimes buried at the bottom like a confession. Just tell me what to do. Just tell me what to do. I can't tell you what to do. I can suggest something, but only because I know history. You know, we're all waiting. We're waiting for an election, waiting for the ruling from the court, waiting for a man on a white horse to ride in. But here's the difficulty with waiting for the man on the horse. We just watched the most powerful office on earth held by men of both parties. And you know, one had a whole team around him because he didn't know what he was doing. But the team knew exactly what they were trying to do, and they didn't fix it. And this one's coming in and he's trying, and he has one of the best teams around him I've ever seen, but he's not going to fix it either. And he's not. They're not fixing it because they're weak. But it's the kind of problem that doesn't get fixed by one man at the podium. A culture does not get repaired by executive order. It gets repaired the way it got broken, one person at a time, over years, in kitchens, in cars, in classrooms where no camera is running. Nobody's getting famous. That's how you. That's how the culture was broken, and that's how the culture has to be fixed. Now, let me show you the power of one individual. And. And I want you to listen to this, because I think this is what. This may be the reason why I started the torch. I don't know yet. I just found this story a couple weeks ago, and I'm like, wait a minute. And I wanted to share it with you because this is not going to be led by me. This is just going to be led by you. Hundreds and thousands of you, if it connects with you. Let me take you to. I think it's Gloucester, England. I don't know. They. They have stupid names over there. Anyway, it's the summer of 1780, and there's a guy named Robert Raikes, and he's not a general, he's not a statesman. He's just a guy who ran a newspaper. He owned the Journal, and he inherited it from his father. And what his passion was was prisons. And he would go to the prison all the time, and he would write about the conditions, and he tried to reform it, and it went nowhere. Okay. And somewhere in all that failure, he arrived at the conclusion that changed everything, changed all of England. He realized the way to empty a prison is to stop making prisoners. Where the socialists today will say, we'll get rid of the prison, or don't send people to prison. He thought the opposite. Wait, why are these people. Why are these people getting in trouble? And in England back then, it was because they were illiterate. And so he thought, let's get to the children before they grow up and become prisoners. So he went to a street in his town called Sooty Alley, and this is where all the chimney sweeps lived. And apparently, it's not as pleasant as they were. As they were, you know, in Mary Poppins. Eh? Shake the hand of a sweep, it's Good luck, you know. No, apparently not. And so he went into Sooty Alley and he found this woman named Mrs. Meredith. And he said, look, I'm not a wealthy man, but I'm going to pay you a shilling a week. I don't know how much a shilling a week was today or back then, and I don't think anybody can really do the math. But he paid her a shilling a week to teach the neighborhood children to read in her kitchen on Sundays. He said, once a week, just teach children. And these were children that were working the other six days. That was it. That was the whole enterprise. One shilling, one kitchen, and about a dozen boys. And by every account, they were nearly impossible to control. Poor Mrs. Meredith. She was like, I can't keep them in their seats. So Raikes had to move the school down the road to another street, Southgate street, to a tavern landlady named Mrs. Critchley. I mean, she ran a tavern, so she probably knew how to keep things under control. Raikes didn't publicize this. This was just his little thing. He was doing a shilling a week, and he called it his harmless little experiment. And he said, most likely nothing is going to come of it now. November 3, 1783, he ran a short item in his own newspaper, Anonymous. He described it as a grain of a mustard seed. And the London papers picked it up. The Gentleman's magazine carried it. John Wesley wrote about it the next year. And he said he was finding these schools springing up everywhere he traveled. By 1785, it was a national society. By 1831, 50 years after Mrs. Meredith's kitchen, roughly one and a quarter million British children were being taught to read every week on a Sunday. And for most of them, it would be the only education they would ever get in their entire life. England didn't have, you know, education, public education. They didn't pass that law until 1870. So for 90 years, the literacy of the British working class was carried almost entirely by volunteers in borrowed rooms. Robert Raikes wasn't Moses. I mean, you've probably never heard of his name. I'll bet you people, well, they don't know Churchill now in England, so they certainly don't know his name. But I'll bet you people, really wise people in England don't even know who he was. He was a small town publisher with a shilling and an idea. And then he handed the actual work to two women whose names most people definitely have never heard. People, I think today get frustrated because they want to Be Moses. They want to be famous. I mean, I shouldn't say that they don't necessarily want to be famous. They think that fame is the way to do it. That big, huge movements are the ways to move it. You're changing culture, changing the world. And culture happens from the inside. It never looks like changing the world. Changing culture looks like a Tuesday. So. Here's what I propose. I don't have any shillings, so I'm not going to give anybody a shilling a week. I have been giving this list out for a while now, and I'm going to keep giving it out because I think it works. First thing on the list, study history. Not as a hobby, but as reconnaissance. Okay. We've been here before, so look to history. Every panic that you feel has a precedent. And the precedent will tell you which way it broke and why. Spend 20 minutes a day, learn one new piece of history every day. And a primary source beats a summary. Read what people actually wrote at the time, not what we decided later on what they meant. The people who know what happened last time are the calmest people in the room. And calm is contagious. And we need calm people. Then after you study history, and by the way, Torch is better built for this. And I'm going to start. I haven't talked to anybody about this, but maybe in the next month, give it some time, maybe by the end of the year. I want to start releasing a. A primary source, first source document once a day based on something that we're finding is happening in history. And I'll just show you the primary source document of how this started. So like maybe I can find primary source on something with Robert Raikes and I'll tell you the story. And so we'll release that so you have it, but you have to do this on your own. And then the next step is teach what you learn immediately and to somebody younger. Your kids, your grandkids, your Neighbor's kids. The 24 year old at work who's never once been told that his country that he's inheriting was built by arguing. Okay, you don't need a platform. Raikes had a kitchen. Tell them the story at dinner every night. That's the transmission mechanism. And it's the only one that has ever worked. Next, be kind on purpose, especially when it costs you something. Kindness when you agree is manners. Kindness when you don't agree, that's character. And it's the only thing that has ever moved anybody. Empathy is not a feeling you're born with. Empathy is a Muscle. And it grows when you are supposed to grow. It grows when you're under strain. Okay, next thing. And I'm teaching this to myself, too. I'm trying to demonstrate it on the air every day. Meet people where they live. That's what I did with the housing thing I did just last hour. I know people are worried about housing, especially. Especially the younger, you know, the new socialist. That's all they're talking about. I can't afford a house. Can't afford a house. Can't afford a house. So meet them there, Meet them there. Recognize their pain. Have empathy for them, and stop trying to win. When you win an argument, you get the point, but you lose the person. Then the person was the point, not the argument. So find out what people are afraid of before you tell them what they're wrong about. Because underneath, almost every bad opinion is real fear of a real thing. Next. Ask more than you answer. Listen more than you talk. It's hard for me, but I'm even trying to do it. A question does the work. An argument can't. It lets a man change his mind without having to surrender. And you'll learn more in the silence after a good question question than in anything you're about to say. Next. Get close to God. Pray, and then be quiet along. Quiet long enough to hear him. This is the part people skip. And it's the part that tells you which of all the other things to do today and for whom. He'll point you. It'll open up. The road will just happen. But notice what he usually points to. He usually points to the person right in front of you, not the crowd behind. I have never once heard him say clearly to me. I was in Washington, D.C. i was walking down the street, and we were actually having some issues. And my security's like, let's go, let's go, let's go. And I went half a block and I passed somebody, and the spirit had told me something. And so I went back to talk to this woman. She was on the street. She looked homeless. And everybody's like, what are you doing? Come on. What are you doing? And I'm like, I got to go back. So I went back and I talked to this woman, and our exchange was remarkable. And she actually taught my children something. Something really valuable and good. It was amazing. She was. I mean, she's homeless. And she said. She looked at my children and she said, you have to appreciate what you have in America. I may be poor. She wasn't from America. She said, I am poor. Here And I'm living on the streets, but it's still better than where I was. Please. She looked at me. Teach your children to appreciate what they have here. It was remarkable. That was prompting. Listen to those. Okay. Very few people are called to be Moses. Very few. I mean, there was Moses and then, well, I'm sure there was somebody else. Most of the damage in this world gets done by people who were sure that they were sure. And most of the repair gets done by people who were sure they weren't sure. You're not powerless. All of us are unfocused because we've been handed a hundred problems that are not ours to solve, and we're told to feel responsible for all of them. Put all that crap down. Pick up the ones that are within arm's reach, the small, unglamorous, repeatable things, and do them every single day and do them with faith and do them with hope, you know, which are not feelings either. They are decisions that you make in the morning before the evidence comes in. Because I'm telling you, if. And it could start from this audience if you just teach yourself and then teach others. 50 years from now, somebody might look back and try to explain, how did this culture change? How did the country come out of this? And they'll want to name a president, but I think they're going to be wrong. It'll have been a shilling. It'll have been a kitchen. And a whole lot of people who never made the news. More in a minute.

If you own a home, you've probably built up significant equity, but you're also paying high interest on credit cards. And that's delaying repairs, putting other financial goals on hold. And the obvious answer is to refinance. But you might have a really low rate on your primary mortgage, and that's the last thing you want to give up. I mean, don't do that, right? You need that. That's why American Financing is offering the Smart Equity loan. And it can allow qualified homeowners to access their equity without replacing the low interest first mortgage that they have. And unlike a HELOC with a variable rate, the Smart Equity loan offers a fixed rate and a fixed payment. So your home's equity is something that you've spent years building, but you haven't Been using it and if you could use it to help pay down expensive debt or take care of an important need, it's worth finding out what your options are.

And I've heard from so many people who are like Glenn. I, I used to listen, but I only had so much time. Now I'm in my car and the app is right there on my carplay. And now I'm listening to all of these, you know, documentaries that you've done. All of the, you know, like the American story, that's 20 hours, that's really hard to consume. But if you're in your car a lot, you just pick it up and you're listening to the greatest story. It's the American story. It is the greatest story of any government ever built. And honestly, and I say this about my staff, not me, I only narrate it, the writing on it and the production value on it. I mean, you will, you will feel like you're. The bullets are whizzing by your head. It's an amazing story. It's called the American Story. And you can find it@glenn beck.com torch and now we have CarPlay. Also the study guide is out. And now we have the seventh Amendment song that is out. And the seventh Amendment. Do you know what the seventh Amendment is? Yeah. Yeah, neither did I until I started writing this stuff. Seventh amendment is your right to let a jury decide on civilian or civil disputes. And if it's anything over $20, you can say, I want a jury. I want a jury. I don't want a judge, I want a jury. Okay? And if we want to preserve liberty, we have to realize. Stop, stop. Start appreciating what the founders gave to us and what they gave to us is clear in the seventh Amendment. Stop listening to the expert. Trust your neighbors over the expert. I want a jury to decide. I don't want an expert. But we're losing that instinct, you know, and that's the check against government. Power is our neighbors. But when we stop trusting each other, who do we turn to? We turn to the experts. And that is what you don't believe me. You don't believe that. That's the problem. We've got another, a whole nother series of podcasts just on experts that you have to hear and you'll understand how it's been done.

All right. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So there's a lot going on. I just, I want to play some clips from, from yesterday and just deal with it here. Jon Stewart has really revealed who he is. Jon Stewart is, I don't think he's a humble man. I don't know him personally, but he's never struck me as a humble man and he's always struck me as somebody who just thinks he's so smart and everybody else disagrees with him, is just an idiot. Well, maybe that's the cause of the interview that he's just done with Mamdani on his support for the Democratic Socialists of America. 51% of their board are avowed communists. There's a problem with that. But here's Jon Stewart on with Mamdani on his support for the DSA and ending prisons and borders and everything else.
- [110:27]
Jon Stewart
Listen to this. If someone says, we're going to abolish all prisons and borders, like I do, go. I don't think that's a good idea. Like, it's. It feels like order and security is also a progressive value. Why shouldn't people in neighborhoods with less resources have the same safety and security that neighborhoods with lots of resources? So are there tenets of those that are kind of following in the wake of Zoran Mamdani's success that you're not comfortable with or that give you pause?

Glenn Beck
You know, if. If you have more than one socialist in a room and there isn't disagreement, then you don't have more than one socialist in a room,
- [111:06]
Jon Stewart
so. But you're comfortable with those kinds of discussions?
- [111:09]
Glenn Beck
Well, I. I'm comfortable with disagreement, and I'm comfortable with disagreement that doesn't end a conversation entirely. Mm. Mm. I didn't get crap out of that. Let me move to Barack Obama. Barack Obama. Well, I'll have you hear what he said. Cut 14. About J.D. vance.
- [111:34]
Jon Stewart
One of our major parties has been captured by politics. That is not that subtle about suggesting that we the people means a certain kind of people.
- [111:48]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
- [111:50]
Jon Stewart
When you have the vice president, the current vice president, making a speech that is basically a blood and soil version of we the people, that it matters who your parents were and how long they've been here, despite him being married to an immigrant daughter of an immigrant himself. You know, that echoes then ideas about who can be a citizen, who belongs, who gets to make decisions.
- [112:23]
Glenn Beck
A hundred years ago, a vice president could not stand up and make a nativist argument if he was married to the daughter of an Indian immigrant. But today he can. So we move from malice to hypocrisy. That's progress.
- [112:35]
Jon Stewart
It is progress.
- [112:36]
Glenn Beck
That is progress.
- [112:36]
Jon Stewart
Listen, hypocrisy is progress. Progress because. Because it means that you. You feel guilty enough.
- [112:48]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
- [112:49]
Jon Stewart
Either lie to yourself or others.
- [112:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, okay, stop, stop, stop these. I get it from Barack Obama. I don't get it from Malcolm Gladwell. I'm sorry, Malcolm, you're smarter than this. You are smarter than this. Wait, you're buying into that? He's a blood and soil kind of guy, which means, you know, that's a Nazi blood and Soil. Okay, um, so you're buying into the premise that J.D. vance is a Nazi, that he believes in blood and soil, that he believes it matters where your parents came from. Is anybody aware of J.D. baron, J.D. vance's parents? I mean, you know, I don't know if they came over on the Mayflower, but if they did, they were probably in the hold of the Mayflower, you know, in a little prison down there, because they were trouble. I mean, what? I have not heard JD Vance ever say anything like, you gotta be white. You have to be European. You have to be from the Mayflower. I've never heard him say anything like that. And then he marries an Indian. He marries a woman who is an immigrant, or her parents were immigrants themselves, and yet they use that to say he only married her because he feels guilty. What kind of assumptions are you? You are so unbelievably arrogant to assume you know the heart of a man and make those kinds of assumptions just because he says, hey, we need to control the border. You know, I know you both loved Alexander Hamilton, the musical. Read Alexander Hamilton. You know, as we pointed out in the Golden Door, the. The special on Torch, Alexander Hamilton was the strongest on it. He was like, no, nobody, Nobody. We've been having this argument for a very, very, very long time, and it does not have to do with race. Has nothing to do with race. It might with some, but those are the torch people. Those are the people that were, by the way, being funded by the Southern Poverty Law center to be able to afford the torches and their robes and their cute white pointy hats. I mean, that is outrageous to make that assumption and then to sit there like it's an absolute fact. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm tired of that. I'm tired of that on my side, and I'm tired about that. Tired of that on their side. Um, now let's talk about socialists here for a second. Here's Marco Rubio. By the way, did you see that the latest poll shows that Gavin Newsom would be beaten by Kamala Harris. You want to talk about trouble for a party? Gavin being beaten. No, A rock being beaten by Kamala Harris, one of the worst politicians I have ever, ever seen in my lifetime. No, no, no, no, no. I have to get that guy's to go to. What was that guy's name? Who was like, yeah, and then we're going to Minneapolis and we're in Minnesota, and we're going to go to Iowa and New Howard Dean. Boy, that guy was a Piece of work, wasn't he? Horrible, horrible candidate Kamala Harris, only beaten by him in the bad candidate and Gavin Newsom, and it looks like she's the front runner. Oh, I would hope that they run her again. Please run her. Please run her again. I'm gonna start just saying so. You know, every time I say this, I'm lying, because I'm gonna start saying, you know who I'm really afraid of is Kamala Harris. That's who I. Boy, just don't run Kamala. Can you imagine Kamala Harris in a debate with JD Vance or Marco Rubio or my shoe. I mean, whoo. Anyway, speaking of Rubio, here is Rubio on Communism undermining America. Cut five.
- [117:16]
Marco Rubio
Your question was about communist influence. Yeah. The United States doesn't want to be a communist country. We're never going to be a communist country, and we're not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society. So I don't know what the inconsistency you're referring to is. It's very clear. I don't. You know, obviously, we understand the Chinese system and other systems, but I can tell you our system doesn't want communism, and we're certainly not going to allow communist efforts to undermine American society and drive wedges into our country. And that's what we're seeing. And by the way, one of the leading, you know, culprits of that for many years, the intellectual authors, particularly in our hemisphere, fear is the Cuban regime, which. Which our report on Monday outlined.
- [117:57]
Glenn Beck
Jason, I got to bring you in for this. You're our military guy. We are going into Cuba at some point, very, very soon. Cuba, you know, it's like the ring. It will be mine, my precious. I mean, Rubio is almost like, you know, you know, twirling the ring around his finger every time he hears, Cuba, my precious, we are going into Cuba. You think I'm wrong on that?
- [118:24]
Jason
When I first saw that, I think I texted Ricky, and I was like, what are the odds are. Actually, what is the time frame from when we invade Cuba? I was just expecting.
- [118:33]
Glenn Beck
No, there's no odds. There's no. Nobody will bet against that. It's just when. The question is when.
- [118:40]
Jason
It's interesting, though, too, because they released that Cuba report. Did you see? This was brand new news from yesterday. I think the House Ways and Me's committee subpoenaed the three nonprofits tied to Neville Roy Singham, and they're really pushing hard. And I looked it up. There's some overlap with Some of the organizations tied to Singham and the organizations that were also in the State Department's Cuba report. So there is overlap. So it seems to be like this is much more than just Cuba.
- [119:10]
Glenn Beck
Look, if we were China, would we not be pouring money into Cuba? Of course we would. Would we not be pouring money into Mexico and every place south of our border and in Canada? Of course we would. We would try to rot the Americas as much as we could and turn the rest of the Americas against the United States. We'd absolutely be doing that. I'm hoping we're doing that, you know, in Asia to China. I mean, that's one of the things you do to your enemies, is you do that kind of stuff. Of course they're doing that. Of course they're doing that. We just have to stop tolerating it, but we have to recognize it first. And that's what they're doing. They're recognizing for the first time in my lifetime, well, since Reagan. They're actually talking about the influence that is coming in from foreign adversaries. And it seems to be focused really heavily right now on Cuba. If I, I gotta tell you, and maybe this is why they're doing this, if I were in that regime, I would be like sending messages all the time to Washington. Hey, by the way, when you get here, I'm on your side. I mean, that's got to be happening. They are looking for the Albert Speer in Cuba. They're looking. They don't want to go in with the military. They want somebody on the inside to go, hey, I can help you with this. I could guarantee you that's what's happening. Your thought?
- [120:37]
Jason
Oh, no, I, I completely agree. I think right now they're, they're waiting to see if everything that has happened so far, if the Cuban people will finally just say, enough of this and dump them and do everything themselves.
- [120:49]
Glenn Beck
Well, they need help.
- [120:50]
Jason
Yeah.
- [120:51]
Glenn Beck
The hard part is they need help from inside the regime.
- [120:54]
Jason
Yeah, it's, it's, it's been institutionalized since, you know, the, the 50s, really. It's, it's not, it's, it's, it's been a long time. And it's. They've had staying power. They've had massive sanctions against them, and they've had staying power. So this is not a shoe in to, you know, show results soon. But I don't know, after seeing that report, I think that, you know, escalations will happen. I believe I had an escalation happen
- [121:22]
Ricky
last week in Florida, but there was an Experimental explosion reported off the Central Florida coast. And the conspiracy theories are. Is that the Navy is testing some things.
- [121:36]
Glenn Beck
That's. That's. That's Donald Trump. Hey, you want to go test something in the water? Test it within view of Cuba, of course. Of course. I mean, I don't know if that's what happened, but seems totally logical and right in his wheelhouse. One more. One more clip. Play this from. From Crockett cut 9. The World cup that captured the imaginations of the entire world when they saw all of these people of color that was playing for all these teams. And ultimately, if you recall the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain. And it seemed like the vast majority of the world was rooting for Argentina or actually against Argentina.
- [122:19]
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Right.
- [122:19]
Glenn Beck
And why was that? Just give me a explanation. If you could guess against Argentina, that means for Spain. Spain had the best team. Maybe that's why they were rooting for them. There's also a racist history that's recognized. Thank you, Jeff. Stop.
- [122:36]
Jon Stewart
Stop.
- [122:36]
Glenn Beck
I can't. I can't. I can't. A racist. You were voting or you were rooting for Argentina because you were racist? Let me ask you, who was the. Who was the country that financed the colonization of America? Who was the country that financed the first ship to come over here? It was Spain. How is it that Spain suddenly is not an oppressor? They're not a colonizer. They paid for the ship to come over here in the first place. They were the ones. Yes, the Swedes did it first. Please lay off. They were the ones who discovered Americas. I mean. Stop, stop. I can't take it. You know why I was rooting for Argentina? I hate Spain. And here's why. I hate Spain. Because they're not Argentina, and Argentina is changing the world. I was rooting for Argentina's policies. I know no one else in the world was, but I'm like, these guys are changing the economic world, man. They're showing that freedom actually works. I want them to win on their economic policies. Spain, you're a communist country. You've been a communist country forever. I wanted the free guys to win. All right, Back in just a second. Of course, not the colonizers. If you live with pain every day, after a while, it can start feeling like, you know, part of who you are. You say, it's just my knee or it's just my back. Naming it means accepting it forever. Sometimes I don't think you should do that, except at least finding out whether relief factor can help. It's a daily Supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation which causes most of our pain. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two thirds of them have ordered more. They kept ordering because they want to continue what they were experiencing. Mark wrote in, said he regularly is in tears from his daily pain in his hands. After a week on Relief Factor he said I'm 50% better now. He says I barely notice any pain at all. That was my experience. They have found a way to make pain free part of your life again. Maybe. I mean, it works for about 70% of the people who try it. Get three weeks for $17.76. Go to relieffactor.com call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief. They'll connect you with their local team. They'll do everything they can to help and hopefully you'll be sharing one of your stories beginning out of pain on this program soon. It's relief factor.com 800 for relief Washington talks America. Bill, you're on the right end of that sentence. Glenn Beck, back in a flash. Am I live with Jack Carr today? Do you know when is this podcast? I'm doing an interview with Jack Carr. He's on his podcast and we're just going to talk about books and the importance of reading and, and everything else. That sounds exciting. Actually, it's because it's Jack Car. It's, it is really exciting. But then I'm involved and it's like, you know, when does that air, Ricky?
- [126:01]
Ricky
I don't know. But we can bring you that update after you do the podcast today. Maybe a pre tape, maybe live you
- [126:07]
Glenn Beck
can say, okay, well, whatever. I'm glad we could bring that important information. That's how little we care. All this stuff I'm doing, I don't know, it's just gonna happen at some point. It'll escape and it'll be out of the Internet. As much as we try to stop it, it happens. We'll see you on tomorrow's broadcast and it will then be Friday. We'll see you then. May God save the republic.
