Hit her at a stoplight at 80 miles an hour. This is what this is about. Where is the compassion? You know, I. What I loved about Joe and his conversation, by the way, that whole interview will be available for TORCH subscribers tomorrow. It's really worth seeing this. This whole thing, you know, is about compassion, right? That's what they say. But what Joe was saying was, where's the compassion? Even for him? They just brought him in and dumped him. They didn't help him at all. They weren't helping him to read. They weren't helping. He had hiv. Where, where was the help? There was no help. There's no compassion. They don't care about people. They don't care at all. You know, there are, there are concerns now about Iranian sleeper cells that are here in America. 1500 what we believe were sleeper cells from Iran were stopped at the border during the Biden administration. We have no idea how many actually got it. We caught, Remember, we're not looking. We caught 1500 of them. Some of them were let go, some of them weren't caught. How many are here now? You think that because Friday, when we last left this story, the funding, you know, deal was made, right? A deal was made to fund TSA and DHS and everything else. No, no, no, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. And they knew it wasn't going to be. And that's why John Thune, what a push that guy is. That's why he gets onto a plane and he is out Friday morning. He is gone. He makes a deal in the middle of the night, knowing that the House is not going to accept this. So when the house gets it, they're like, no, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. And what happened? Because he wanted to go home and get some sheepy sheeps. He's on a two week vacation now. They have stopped working in the Senate for two weeks. When is this going to, when is enough enough? You know, in Texas, the governor will call you in the special, special session all the time. Because Texas, they, they only, they only meet every other year, thank God. Why do you think Texas has some, some chance of making it? Because our politicians only work part time every other year. So these guys go on, on hiatus. They're gone now for a recess like they're kindergarteners. For two weeks they go on recess. You know what? You don't get a recess if you don't do your job. How many TSA workers? We want to talk about compassion. How many people, you know, the, the, the left always says, oh my gosh, we have to have compassion for the worker. What about the worker and the federal government? What about the poor worker has nothing else and they're, they're working and they're patriots. They're patriots in the government. How many times have you heard them lecture? They're patriots in the government. Well, where are you now? When these patriots in the government can't feed their family? How many people at the tsa, have to go bankrupt, have to go massively in debt, have to leave their job and go find another job just to feed their families. How long is it going to take if they leave to find another job? How long is it going to take to find a replacement? Are you going to go work for the TSA knowing that you could just be cut at any time? You have no job stability whatsoever? Because the Senate's got to go on recess like little babies. The President has the ability to call back into special session and convene the Senate. In the Constitution, it's Article two, Section three, and he can do it on extraordinary occasion. Well, I don't know how you define extraordinary, but let me try. Let's see. We're at war with the number one terrorist state in the world. Millions have come in from God only knows where, and we don't know where they are, where they are. 1500 terror cells came in from that terror state. We don't know where they are. Domestic terror is on the rise. The American people are shut up in airports, long, long lines. We have ICE doing that job, which means they can't go out and do their other job. I don't know what extraordinary means is, but I, I think extraordinary, extraordinary occasions means, like what we're going through right now. I'm just saying you need to tweet and write the President and say, Article two, Section three. Get John Thune. Get his ass back to Washington. Get every single one of those senators back to Washington. I am so sick and tired. He. He left in the middle of the night. They knew it would not pass in the House. They knew. I swear to you, these guys are sabotaging us. They're sabotaging us. What good is. What good are the Republicans? There is a great article from Miranda Devine in the New York Post. Senator Majority Leader John Thune hightailed it out of D.C. on Friday morning, hours after caving to Democrat demands to defund ICE and border enforcement, at least for the time being. There's nothing more infuriating to a frustrated air traveler delayed hours by Democrat shutdowns than to see Senators strolling smugly with VIP escorts through the airport. The worst offender last week was John Thune, who hightailed it out of D.C. friday morning hours after stitching up a deal caving to Democrat demands. Elements of the Department of Homeland Security were funded in the big beautiful bill last year. But Thune's deal freezes out immigration enforcement and border security functions that are all too important. As we go into War with the world's largest sponsor of Islamic terrorism. Wait a minute. His deal freezes out immigration enforcement and border security. But John Thunder thought you'd be okay with that. No, he did. He thought you would be totally cool with that. You know, he's like, hey, I know the Republicans, Republicans don't want that. They're not really all about border security. They didn't really vote for the President in record numbers because they wanted border security. They just knew he was just saying that. Even though he wasn't just saying that. He's actually trying to do something and you guys keep standing in the way. Right before he gets on the plane, he's like, I'm not sure what the House will do. Yes, he. Yes, yes, yes, you do. You could wait, you could wait, you could wait before you take your two week recess, huh? But he didn't, he just got on a plane. He and Chuck Schumer, they get on a plane, they leave, they leave town. The President has to call them back. The President has got to call them back into session. Article two, section three. Extraordinary occasions. I think this is an extraordinary occasion. The thing they don't like at all is work. They don't like to work. You know, if, if they actually have to go back and debate things, do you know how much that changes their life? They can fly in now on a Monday night and they can be gone by Thursday. But if you actually have to debate things, oh, you're, you're actually having to do work. You're actually having to be there. You don't just fly in for some cocktail parties and some luncheons and never have to go on the floor and vote, never have to go out and do anything. Cuz it's all decided by five, six guys in a back room. Since when are we okay with this, America? Since when is anyone okay with this? Since when is a Democrat, Republican or Independent okay with that kind of Washington rule? That it's made by just a few guys in the middle of the night? Isn't that what we all grew up hearing was bad? You know, in these cigar smoke filled rooms, just a few guys get together and they cut a deal. That is now what they do out in the open. They tell you they do that and then they go on recess so they don't have to pay a price. Mr. President, please, I'm begging you. Enough is enough. Enough is enough. You need to tell these damn Republicans, get your ass back to Washington and do your damn work. Enough is enough. Jesus wouldn't have given that monologue But I don't think Jesus was that concerned with border security in his day. Here's real estate agentsitrust.com There are people who, you know, don't believe in half measures. So if you're a sitting member of Congress, don't listen to this. You're fine with half measures. People that commit to things, they show up ready, they pay attention to the details, they follow through. They make sure everything is done the first time, not just, well, it's good enough. I don't know what will happen in the house and then get on a plane and go on recess or you're playing hopscotch on your recess. People who actually do things right, they're rare. When you want to find somebody to help you buy or sell a house, you have to have that kind of person. I mean, you go with the John Thunes of the world, but I don't recommend it. Who do we recommend? We have a whole list of them and possibly somebody in your area. I would just check because these people have been vetted. They are the best in the area. We look for certain qualities, we look for certain track records and, and certain things that they do that are best practices. And that's what helps get your house sold on time for the most amount of money and gets you into the next house, the one you want. It's realestate agents. I trust dot com. Free service to you. I don't charge you anything for the referral. You just check them out yourself. It's realestate agentsitrust.com dividers can call us names of democracy. Still a greasy pig. We just call each other neighbor and friend. We'll be right back. You know, I. We have people who are working now at the core of our national security. Tsa, Coast Guard, Secret Service, female ice, Border Patrol. People whose entire job is to keep the country safe and functioning. And they haven't received a paycheck in over 40 days. In over 40 days. Imagine yourself not getting a paycheck for 40 days. How would you be feeding your family right now? And while that's happening, our Senate just goes on recession. Then when on Friday they did do it. They funded the shell, but not the spine of it. They kept the lights on in the building, but they didn't pay anybody guarding the doors. And that's the solution. That's the solution. The big one, big beautiful bill. Money. Money that was supposed to go to specific purposes to patch a hole they knowingly created. So every dollar they used to pay these workers for is now A dollar stolen from whatever that money was originally supposed to go to. That's not governing. That's not governing. Not at all. It's gridlock. It's damn near treason. It is. It is. We are at war. And the longer this drags on, the more pressure builds with all of these people who are not getting paid, and it's. It's not gonna get. There's no pressure on the politicians unless you pressure them. Eventually, the deal will come. Funding. But in exchange for what it. What? A pathway, A compromise. The same end game that's been sitting on the table for years. Years. And the GOP just gave all the leverage away before the fight even began. You know, you don't walk into a negotiation, handle hand over your only bargaining chip, and then get surprised when you're steamrolled. But that's what happens every. Every day. Every single day. And then on Friday, they make a deal, and then they leave and they go on vacation. That. That. To me, that's the part that should really bother you. They abandon people who haven't been paid. They don't care about your security. They just want to get out of town. You know, a government that cannot or will not pay the people responsible for its most basic, basic security functions and has no problem taking a break. It's not a failure, gang. This is a warning. This is a warning. Yet another warning sign. The meals you serve your family are not just fuel. They're. They're part of your routine, your family time, your traditions.

We're glad you're here. There's a couple of things going on with the language and the society and civilization that we are becoming people now. Now, our plant food, which is really exciting. Great. I love that. All right, let me tell you about. Simply say if we're gonna get to this and so much in this next half hour. Just a second. First, imagine leaving your house every day and not giving a second thought what's happening back at home. Not wondering if your door got on, you know, left unlocked or, you know, hoping that everything is fine, just knowing it is. Imagine laying your head down at night with that same feeling. You're not listening. Listening for every little sound or, you know, trying to figure out, you know, if something is off because you already know you're covered. That peace of mind doesn't come from hoping. It comes from having a system in place that you're actually watching. You know, and you can see it's watching over your home. It doesn't miss things. It doesn't get distraction. It doesn't take nights off. It doesn't sleep. That's simply safe. That's what it does. Home security system with sensors and cameras and 247 professional monitoring that helps protect your home whether you're there at night so something does happen, you're not the last to know. Because feeling safe is one thing. Knowing you're safe is something entirely different. You feel it every day. Right now, 50% off your new SimpliSafe system@simplisafe.com Beck. That's SimpliSafe.com Beck. There is no safe like Simplisafe. So there's a couple things I want to talk to you about here that are a little disturbing. There is a bill that is moving through now in Oklahoma that will legalize what was, until very recently, absolutely unthinkable, the conversion of human remains into fertilizer. Just make sure we have this right. The body of your dead father, wife, husband, child, whatever, is going to be placed into a container with wood chips and straw where it's broken down and processed and then used for compost. Oh. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Then they're gonna. They're gonna call this natural organic reduction. Oh, of course they do. Because every age that crosses moral boundaries first invents softer vocabulary. You know, first abortion, you know, is a abortion. Then it's, you know, and then it's Then it's not. It's healthcare. Death by doctors, same thing. Healthcare. Okay, now we're no longer gonna bury our dead. We recycle them. Oh, this sound dystopian to anybody else. Because me, it kind of sticks out, you know, It's a little dystopian. So what is the body worth? And I don't mean price wise. It's an old question. I mean, you know, it only feels new because we. I guess we've forgotten how often it used to be asked and how often it is always answered in the wrong direction. You know, early 20th century world rushed headlong into a promise of science and progress, and follow the science and follow the progress. And it was great. GK Chesterton, he saw something dangerous. He wrote a poem, kind of satire, really, mocking blind faith and progress of his age. And he, you know, had a warning. He dressed it up as a hymn to progress. Here's what it says. Let me see if I can get this here. He wrote, lead us evolution. Lead us up the future's endless stair. Chop us, change us, produce, Weed us for stagnation. Is despair, groping, guessing yet progressing? Lead us, nobody knows where. Hmm. To whatever variation our posterity may turn hairy, squashy or crustacean, bulbous eyed or square of stern, toward that unknown God we yearn. Goodness equals what comes next. Oh, that is great. That's great. So let me see if I understand this. A future with no fixed definition of good, no anchor, no standard, just progress, just change. Just whatever comes next. Goodness equals what comes next. That means nothing is sacred and we're in for hard times, okay? When everything is material, everything is just process, you know, Everything becomes useful in one form or another. And that's exactly where we are. That's exactly where we are. Once you accept the fact that the human body is merely biological matter, you strip it of meaning, you strip it beyond function. Of course it can be composted. Why don't we just pick up the bodies with pitchforks and throw them in? Why just let them put them in the compost pile out back of the house? I mean, it's efficient, it's sustainable. It is modern, really. It's also a complete rupture with thousands of years of human understanding, mainly from, oh, what was it? The Judeo Christian perspective. This is what happens when you start losing that perspective. The body's just a shell, but the way we used to think of. It's not a shell, it's not disposable. It's not, you know, it's not like one of those irritating CD cases where you were trying to get, you know, or God forbid you go into a CVS now you try to buy a razor blade and you can't ever get it out of that stupid packaging. No, it's part of the person. It's formed intentionally. It has dignity. It was destined, and ultimately destined for resurrection. That's why we believed burials mattered. Is there, is there nothing sacred anymore? Does life even matter? I mean, I hate to bring this up on the week of, you know, Christ's burial, but when he was put in the tomb, they just didn't say, you know, what, Put him in there for a while and then we'll plant him in the garden and maybe he can grow a tree. It was an act of REVERENCE. And for 2,000 years that understanding is what shaped our civilization until now. Because this is progress, gang. We're making progress. Follow the science. It's nothing. This is compassionate, you know, somehow or another it's compassionate. It's better for the environment too. And maybe, maybe on paper it's more efficient. Can I ask you, I want you to think of the most efficient society you can think of. Quick, think of a country that's really super efficient. Uh huh. Let's say that country's name together. Germany. Super efficient, wasn't it? Yeah. Civilizations that measure themselves by efficiency tend to be remembered as, I don't know, monsters. You know another one that was really, really super efficient? China. Yeah. You know, real civilizations are measured by what, by what they refuse to do, sometimes more than what they do. You know, what we refuse to do will say an awful lot. 14 states have already crossed this line. And now Oklahoma. Oklahoma, standing on the edge now, deciding, yeah, why can we just get grandpa and just put them in the old shredder and plant them in the back because we got some corn to grow. 43 Republican legislators have already helped advance. This makes me go at what, what, what do the Republicans even stand for anymore? What do they stand for? You know, once a society decides, ah, that's just material that we can process, could we make them? Can we make. If one of my children dies, could I make them into a plastic sippy cup? No. Why is that offensive to you? Because it was a human life. Is there nothing sacred? Sacred? You start blurring the lines between dignity and utility. You do it first in death, then eventually you do it in life. Every regime that has treated human beings as raw material, whether it was for labor or experimentation or disposal, began that same quiet shift into darkness. You know, person becomes Secondary system becomes primary. And what happens? Well, nobody's asking themselves. I don't know, Adolf, is this right? You just start saying, is that the best use of them? Is there a better way to use them? Chesterton saw it coming. He saw if you worship progress without defining the good, you drift and you, you drift towards a place where even the dead are no longer at rest, but repurposed. Well, it's about the environment. Is it? Well, it's about the environment inefficiency. Is it? Is it? I think it's more about whether we still believe that a human being, body and soul, still matters, still is more than material. You know what's really crazy is we're doing this all on the lead up of AI that's going to make this argument, you know, humans are really inefficient. You know, I could just capture all of your memories and it's like grandma would live together in that little box. Oh, oh, okay. Well, if we don't care about the body and we don't believe in the soul, then why not? Why not just capture all of our thoughts and just put them in a little computer box and we can all live forever? Because we know that's not us. What comes next? How about organ bags? Oh, oh, you think I'm just making that? No, no, no, no. Scientists now are doing something that they think is very, very exciting and we haven't even talked about it. Organ bags? Yeah, headless bodies they like to call bags. That's just growing organs. Oh, well, that sounds like either a horror show from science fiction or progress. You'll have to decide. We'll go there. In here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Relief Factor. What if I told you that it was not only possible to get rid of the pain that you've been carrying around for so long, but you could actually go back to feeling the way you used to. Remember those days back when you didn't have to check with your body before you did anything. You know, you should get an organ bag. That version of you is not gone. It's just been covered up by something that doesn't belong there. And that is pain. Relief Factor is a daily drug free supplement that targets the inflammation that is often the root cause of so much of our lingering pain. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two thirds of them have gone on to take more. Because when that pain starts to lift, it's not just relief, it's return to something you thought you Lost you. You've been listening to me talk about relief factor for a while. Maybe this is your moment. If you're already taking it, I mean, you might be getting a enhanced formula designed to work even smarter. In fact, you are going to get it if you get it right now. And if you've already subscribed, you're getting that new bag as well. Start the three week quick start. It's 1995. Relieffactor.com 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief. It's relieffactor.com 10 seconds. Station ID. So, you know, I. I'm getting to the organ bags. I don't know if we're gonna have time now. Just looked at the clock and organ bags that it deserves its own, you know. Good. 20 minutes. I want to take you to Canada and I want to show you how you remember. You remember who made the Nazi. The SS officer uniforms, right? Who made them? Hugo Boss. Those were designed and made by Hugo Boss. You know, go into the store. I just go into the stores and ask them, hey, do you have any of those snappy numbers from World War II? They love that joke. But they made them for the Nazis and designed them and designed them to make. Make them look beautiful and not scary. Now we look at them in their. Their horror shows, right? But it came from fashion. The fashion world. Let me give you an advertising campaign from a fashion retailer up in Canada, Le Maison Simmons. Here it is. This is a. This is their ad from 2022 advertising campaign. Listen and watch this. Breaths are sacred. When I imagine my final days, I see bubbles. I see the ocean. I see music. Even now, as I seek help to end my life, there is still so much beauty.
