We're going to talk about that shutdown here in just a second. Stand by. I want to talk to you about the burner launcher sponsor. And honestly, I would hope that you would really hear my plea on burner launcher. I believe in this company, they're strong second amendment people, but the burner launcher was really invented and started because a guy who was carrying a gun was in an incident with a guy who was road raging against him. He pulls over his car just so the guy would pass him, but he didn't pass. He was so full of rage, he gets, he pulls over, gets out of his car and he reaches our guy, reaches for a gun in his glove box. He's like, I'm not willing to kill somebody over this. Leaves it there, and he's beaten to a pulp. That's when he realized, I need the burn Elantra. I need to. I need to design something that, you know, I can use. And this is pepper spray, tear gas. It's. It's everything except lethal. And I personally, it's legal in all 50 states. You don't need a permit or anything to carry. Just have to be over 18. I don't know why this isn't in every single classroom for every single teacher, because it would stop smashing shootings. And I think if you have kids in college, they need this. I know my kids have it. My whole family carries a burner launcher. I so recommend it. Visit burna by R N A.com to learn more. Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse near you. You need to find one again. Go to Byrna B R n a.com do it right now. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.

Glenn Beck
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Thursday. We're glad you're here. The government has shut down. Yay. I'm actually really pleased about that. I wish we were. I wish we were unleashing the Kraken right now and firing people and making the Democrats work for all of their programs. You know, I'm sorry, but the circumcision of turtles in Botswana probably is not a priority of the United States. I wouldn't mind cutting some of those kinds of programs. But we'll get into why the government is shut down, what it all means. Also, there's confusing information now coming about the pipe bombs. You know, the January 6th pipe bombs. Were, was that some sort of a trial run? Was that an exercise that just happened to coincide with January 6th? What's the latest on the pipe bombs? And, and what is the latest on the number of FBI agents that were in the January 6th? Last week I heard it was 300. Today I hear it's 55. I, I don't know what, what, what is actually going on? Barry Loudermilk is joining us and he is the guy. He's the Chairman of the House Administrative Committee Oversight Subcommittee, member of the Election Subcommittee. He's also House Financial Services Committee where he serves as Vice Chairman on the Subcommittee for Financial Institutions, Monetary Policy Subcommittee on National Security, Illicit Finance, International Financial Institutions. I mean, we could get into just about anything with this guy and he will know. Barry Loudermilk joins me in 60 seconds to give us a rundown of what actually is happening in Washington D.C. so we have a better understanding of it. First, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Jews and Christians share ties that stretch back centuries. Faith struggle and the hope that still binds us to today. And in these moments of crisis, it's more important than ever to stand together. Did you hear that? England, either last night or this morning, somebody gunned down a bunch of Jewish people as they were getting ready to celebrate the holidays again. And the UK police are looking into it. It might have been terrible. Gee, do you think? The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground over in Israel providing life saving aid, food, medical supp, heating and emergency relief. Working to ease the suffering that innocent people who have been hurt by war and terror have experienced. Plus, Christians across America are now part of a simple powerful symbol. It's called the flags of Fellowship movement. I'm a member of this, the national effort that encourages churches and communities to raise the Israeli flag alongside the American flag as a public act of solidarity, prayer and hope. We're approaching again the anniversary of October 7th. Now is the time to do it. We have to pray. We have to, you know, we have to pray and hope that the plans laid out by the world leaders will lead us toward a safer, more peaceful Middle East. But while we pray, there are still suffering going on, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground. To help with that, find out how you can be a part of the historic Flags of Fellowship movement. Just go to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org from the great state of Georgia. Congressman Barry Loudermilk is with us. Barry, how are you, sir?
- [06:34]
Barry Loudermilk
Doing good, Glenn, how are you doing today?
- [06:37]
Glenn Beck
I am really good. I have to tell you, I want to spend a couple of minutes, as we get past some of this other stuff in the interview, talking about a book that you wrote this summer. I didn't hear anything about it. Somehow or another arrived on my desk and I picked it up and I was going on an airplane. And I have to tell you, Barry, I read that thing cover to cover, and I don't even know if anybody really knows about this book. I think it is one of the best history books and the most appropriate for its time. Right now, I actually want to talk to you about recording it myself. I think it would make a series of podcasts that are just fantastic.
- [07:12]
Barry Loudermilk
I just love Be Awesome.
- [07:14]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. It's called and they Pray. Yeah, go ahead.
- [07:18]
Barry Loudermilk
One of our goals is to do an audio book on this. I just haven't had the time to do the recording yet. So my family's been after me to do it. But I've been a little bit busy with investigations and I know legislative work.
- [07:30]
Glenn Beck
Well, I'd love to make it in podcasts. I think it's fantastic, Barry. It needs to be heard. We'll talk about that in a second. First, let me talk to you about what is going on. First of all, let's start with the pipe bombs. What is the latest on these pipe bombs?
- [07:49]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, Glenn, it's amazing what having an administration that actually wants to get to the truth can do to change a narrative. What we have learned and then the premise that we went on in the previous two years that I was investigating is that these pipe bombs were placed in the evening of January 5th. And so everyone was going off of that premise. We start. And of course, I reached out to the FBI several times during that time period. Of course, the Biden administration, they were not forthcoming with information. Basically, they always use this excuse, this is an ongoing investigation, so we can share that information. I'm like, goodness gracious, how long is this investigation going to go? So what we've learned through the Trump administration is that story doesn't fit with the facts that we're finding. It appears to us. And let me give you credit because you brought this up on a show I was doing with you over a year ago, that the pipe bombs had a 60 second egg timer on them. So how could you play, I mean, a 60 minute egg timer, right? Yeah, you brought that up. I started researching that. I talked to some bomb experts and they said, well, quite often that is an override. In other words, you have an electronic trigger that actually sets off the bomb, but you put the egg timer on to basically set it and it triggers the other trigger. You know, it, it enables it, it just basically give you time to get away. So we were going on that premise. Well, one thing we get is the lab report from the FBI on the pipe bombs. Just got that recently, there was no electronic timing. The only timer was that 60 minute egg timer. So it's impossible that these pipe bombs were placed and armed on the night of January 5th. They had to be placed at some point not long before they were found on January 6th. Because lady, that lives close by to the one that was placed by the Republican National Committee and her testimonies, which have been consistent, she said There were still 20 minutes left on the egg timer when she found it.
- [10:05]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [10:06]
Barry Loudermilk
So that's one huge inconsistency. The other is mysterious data or data that has been mysteriously. It's disappeared. And it was when the FBI was doing geofence searches, they went to all the carriers and asked for all the precise data of people who were in that area on January 5th and 6th. All the carriers provided information, except for one, AT&T. AT&T apparently corrupted the data now. No, we kept hearing that the data was corrupted. And this is in my previous investigation. AT&T claimed they didn't. The corrupted data. The FBI did. The FBI, we found out later, said, no, the data was corrupted when we got it. Now that we get the real information, it becomes even more mysterious. There is a entity known as FirstNet. FirstNet was created by Congress after 911 to preempt cell service for law enforcement. So they only serve law enforcement first responders. So in a time of emergency, their calls take priority. So FirstNet actually sits on the AT&T backbone for some reason. And this is where my suspicion started growing, is when the FBI contacted AT&T, gave them a preservation letter, said, save all of this data, specifically around the areas where the pipe bombs were, because they have to go through the legal mumbo jumbo to actually get the subpoena. So they don't want stuff to disappear. They send a letter telling AT&T to preserve the data. AT&T responds and says, you have to go to FirstNet to get this data. Which raises my suspicion. Why are they telling them to go to the carrier just for law enforcement? Well, according to FirstNet, that data was going to be deleted within just a few hours. So they were in this massive hurry to download all the data before it was deleted, and somehow it just got corrupted. I'm not buying the story.
- [12:19]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so, so wait a minute. Why would FirstNet have access to the data? Why wouldn't it still be with at&t?
- [12:28]
Barry Loudermilk
My question, I've questioned that. And this is what we're seeking right now. Was it law enforcement information that the FBI was seeking? Our first responder? Why would. First of all, there was a reason AT&T sent them over to FirstNet. We don't know. We've been told that FirstNet had just signed a contract with the FBI and so they were handling all the data retrievals. So that's. That's a possibility. I mean, these are questions we don't have that we are seeking right now. But the bottom line is the narrative that we were sold on is not even close to what the evidence is bringing up.
- [13:12]
Glenn Beck
So what does that imply? Who is giving us this false testimony and evidence?
- [13:18]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, that's what we need to find out. Is it? Is it at and T? Is it FirstNet? Is it? And probably likely, to an extent, the FBI. So we're going to be requesting more information from the FBI as as far as details of their investigation. And you know, what FBI had claimed the Biden FBI was, well, obviously the person who placed the pipe bomb. Their data was in that AT&T set that got corrupted. I'm still having an issue with the corruption. I spent 20 years in the IT business when data, data is never really deleted. It's always saved somewhere it may be archived. I can't understand how such a carrier like AT&T would just arbitrarily delete data literally within a few days of a major event. In our previous investigation, we contacted all these carriers and one carrier says, look, when it's a significant event, we Keep that data forever. They said we even still have data from the Oklahoma City bombing. Wow. So if that's the case, I'm not really buy in the story that was any other data.
- [14:36]
Glenn Beck
I mean they seem to have found everybody, every grandmother. Was any other data corrupted other than this particular area?
- [14:48]
Barry Loudermilk
That's what we need to know. But my understanding is no, just the area around the pipe bomb. And it was very precise data that would actually give you the distance from the cell tower. So this is what we're, you know, kind of dealing with is you got to go off of some kind of premise. Well, why we've learned who claimed to have corrupted the data and what they're saying is they were in such a hurry to download it before it automatically deleted, that overloaded the server and the server corrupted all the data. I'm thinking somebody needs some better servers if that's the case.
- [15:26]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, that's, that's weird for AT&T. Let me give you one more question on this and then I want to move on to the shutdown. What about the FBI saying that the bombs were viable and lab never using that word, viable. What does that mean? And also, is there a chance that this was some sort of a training exercise or these were training exercise bombs?
- [15:54]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, that is something I've recently brought up is when you look at the lab report from the FBI and we're looking a little deeper in that lab report too, it never does use the word, as you said, the word viable. It does say that they were, there were explosive components in it, but it never says that it was enough to cause a massive explosion. And so from my time in the military, we did a lot of different training exercises. And if you're going to do a real training exercise, you made things as realistic as possible. I mean, I remember while I was in the Air Force, we had a simulated attack on our base. We literally had jets flying overhead shooting blanks. Right. You try to make it as realistic as possible, especially for an exercise like this. You want a device that looks like a bomb and it smells like a bomb. For a bomb sniffing dog, yes. But here's the issue. We have video of the Secret Service with a bomb sniffing dog walking literally within feet of where the bomb supposedly was placed the night before and never hits on anything. So if it was it, which makes me think if it is a training exercise, if it is a training exercise, the bomb wasn't there when the dog was walking by or he should have hit on it. So there's more questions than answers. But at least we have a direction to go. So I think there is a possibility that these were whether it was a training exercise or somebody just used training type devices to put out there. But if you go back and you look at the videos we released a year ago, law enforcement were letting people just walk by these devices. There's one video of a guy in a suit walking within feet of the robot that's about to destroy the device. That makes no sense. Unless somebody knew they weren't viable.
- [17:51]
Glenn Beck
Okay, Barry, let me take a one minute break. I'm going to come back. I want to ask you explain to people who don't understand what's going on, why is the government shut down? And we'll talk about that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our, our sponsor is Lifelock. You know, identity theft is personal invasion.

All right, 10 seconds and back to bury. So Barry, can you explain the shutdown? I mean the, as I understand it, the government is shut down because the Democrats want to make sure that they continue funding Obamacare for illegals, which is completely outrageous. But we're not even talking about a long term solution here. We're not talking about actually passing a real budget. We're just talking about another extension of this budget. Tell me what's going on and how people should look at this.
- [19:59]
Barry Loudermilk
Yeah, you're exactly right. The underlying problem is Congress hasn't followed the law since I have been in Congress. I think the last time we actually appropriated according to law, I think Newt Gingrich was speaker. So we have to overhaul the system to where it works more efficiently. But by September 30, Congress is supposed to have fully funded the government. Now traditionally the House does a better job with it. It usually gets stalled in the Senate. And what happens is you keep doing these, these, you punt you, you kick the ball down the field a little bit to give more time. And then at the end of the year, leadership gets together and they pass one big huge bill that's hard to determine what's in it, an omnibus. So we're trying to change that. But came September 30, we had not passed appropriations. So the idea was let's just extend the current funding that had been passed on a huge bipartisan basis that all the Democrats voted for the same bill back in March. Let's extend it out into November to give us a little bit more time to try to finish the process appropriately and have more time for negotiating some of these issues. That's all it is. It's giving us more time till middle of November. But the Democrats saw this as an opportunity to undo some of Trump's policy. They never expected Republicans because traditionally it's hard for us to unify. And so we held together, we got this big beautiful bill through, we got his rescissions package through. We got things that I've been wanting to do since I've been in Congress. And they saw this as an opportunity to undo some of that, including giving government subsidies, taxpayers money, taking the money out of hard working Americans pockets and give it to people who aren't even supposed to be in this country. That is the premise. That is the main portion of what they want to do as well as $1.3 billion or trillion dollars of new spending. I mean this is, it's egregious what they're, they're wanting and if they want that, that's what this time period supposed to be for negotiating it. But they know they can't get there. They never expected Republicans to unified. And President Trump is, he's doing exactly what I have advocated in the past is when you go into these shutdowns, what is furloughed is what's considered non essential employees. My question has always been why do we have people working for the federal government that aren't essential to the core constitutional purpose of the federal government.
- [22:41]
Glenn Beck
Amen.
- [22:41]
Barry Loudermilk
So he's saying this is the time to just go ahead and lay these people off. And so this is kind of where we are. I mean, you're not. And in the past, like when we went to shutdown under Obama, the executive branch, the president gets to determine what programs are scuttled, which ones are shut down. And Obama decided let's make the cuts that's most painful to the American people. So he shut down the parks. PSA was hard to find. Trump's doing the opposite. He's going to use this and say this is the opportunity to trim down government. We're going to make sure the American people get everything that they need. Parks are going to stay open. This is our opportunity to right size government.
- [23:25]

Things are happening so rapidly all around the world. We told you about what's happening in South Korea. We have more on that with Charlie Brooks Pastor, who's going to be joining us in an hour, what's happening in Canada? They're taking away the guns. You have Alberta trying to break free from Ottawa and the federal government. Is that even a possibility? I have a Canadian attorney who is really kind of leading this effort law wise Keith Wilson. He is going to be joining me in just a minute. We are with Barry Loudermilk now. Barry is a good friend of the program and a great, great American patriot who is working hard in Washington to try to get answers on January 6th. And some of this weaponization stuff, we just were talking to him about that. But I picked up Barry, I wish somebody would have sent this book to me personally. I don't even know how I got was just sitting on my desk, I think up at my ranch and I pick it up. I'm getting on an airplane, I pick it up and I'm like, oh, Barry's got a new book out. And it was like, I don't know, two months after the book came out and take it on the plane, I start reading it. And you know, sometimes American history books just bore the snot out of me. This was so compelling and so good and such. I mean, it's a message that, you know is good at any time. But especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, something has happened in America and this is how our patriots throughout time have, have prayed and the difference that that prayer has made over and over and over again. And I just think it's a fabulous book.
- [26:59]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, thank you, Glenn. And by the way, I actually sent that to you. I know you're busy. I just reached out to your office and I said, how can I get this book to him? And they gave me the address to your place out there.
- [27:12]
Glenn Beck
That's how it happened. Somebody opened it then. I didn't get a note or anything. I just saw the book and I'm like, so I'm sorry that I didn't get back to you, but it is, it's fabulous, Barry. It's really good.
- [27:24]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah, that was one of our pre release copies. I think you got the second or third one. President Trump got the first one. So, and I've been told he's been reading it.
- [27:33]
Glenn Beck
So, so tell me, Tell, tell the audience the, the arc of the book. The, the, the, the reason why you wrote it and, and, and tell some of the stories in it.
- [27:43]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, the reason is we're going into the 250th anniversary of our country and as our good friend David Barton speaks of all the time. This is the longest any government like this has ever existed, far beyond what anyone anticipated it would. And people are wondering, with all this going on, how can we go any longer? Can we go another 10, 20 or 250 years? And my answer to this was, yes, if we go back and look at what sustained us for the first 250 and repeat that. And our founders spoke openly and regularly about God's acts of divine Providence, especially during the Revolutionary War. And I mean, even George Washington's first act as president was to declare a national day of thanksgiving and prayer acknowledging all of those acts of Providence. Most people today can't tell you one, two or three of those acts, even though there are several books about acts of Providence during the time of the Revolutionary War. But God's providence didn't end there. It continued throughout our history. And I could not find any books on this. And these are stories my dad, a World War II veteran, had told me that he had learned. And so I spent actually 10 years of research to make sure that everything in this book is well documented and factual. And it spans from 1746 up into the 20th century. The Apollo 8 space mission of moments in history that are clearly, undeniably the outcome was a result of prayer as well as the courage of the people who were involved. And I mean, there's, there's several stories in there that just are. My daughter, let's start with all the time. What's your faith?
- [29:33]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, let's start backwards. Let's start with Apollo 8 and then tell me something that happened in World War II.
- [29:41]
Barry Loudermilk
So with the Apollo 8 mission was the first time that we were leaving the gravitational pull of Earth and orbiting the Moon. It was a huge advancement for the United States. And one of the things that the crew realized is they were going to. First of all, they were going to do a broadcast as they were orbiting the moon, and it was going to be on Christmas Day. And they also were advised when you have that broadcast, whatever you say is going to be heard around the world because it was going to be the largest watched television story ever. And so they really struggled with what they were going to say. And so two things happened. One was the commander was supposed to read, was supposed to pray at his church on that weekend. But because they accelerated the time frame of their mission, he wasn't able to be there to read scripture and to pray. So he had his prayer recorded as they were orbiting the moon and played at his church. And it's a tremendous prayer. But the rest of the crew surprised the entire world because when it came time for them to give this broadcast, they read the Genesis story, the first six verses out of the book of Genesis. And it's an incredible story. And then NASA faced lawsuits as a result of what they're doing. But these were people. These are the types of people that knew this was the opportunity to get America to reflect back on what has sustained us as a country. And it's the providence of God.
- [31:27]
Glenn Beck
I'm sorry, give me your favorite story from World War II that's in the book.
- [31:32]
Barry Loudermilk
So, yeah, so probably it's the story of that great evangelist of the gospel, General George Patton. People don't think of George Patton as that type of person, but the story is Patton is after D Day, they push through. They're stuck in France because of bad weather. Over in Holland, you've got tremendous snows. And that's where my dad was during World War II. And so with his frustration, he calls his chaplain. Patton does, and he says, do we have an official army prayer for good weather for battle? And he says, well, let me look it up. He finds out there isn't. So he comes back and says, sir, we don't have one. He said, well, then I want you to write one. And so the chaplain asked, you know, what. What are you going to do with this? And Patton goes through this dissertation about the power of prayer, and it's just amazing if you have pastors preach that. That monologue he gives his. His chaplain today as he's teaching his chaplain about the power of the prayer. I mean, you'd be amazed with the impact we would have from the churches. But he talks about how prayer is so powerful, it's like plugging into a live electric circuit to get things done. But one of the things he tells his chaplain, and this is where the title of the book comes from, he said there are three things that we do to achieve victory. Planning, working, and prayer. He says, planning is when we sit down and we lay out an entire battle plan. The working is the training, where we prepare the soldiers for battle. But what really decides the difference between victory and defeat is that void between those. And that void, if it's filled with prayer, that's what makes the difference for victory. And so when you look at what they did, and this was preceding the Battle of the Bulge, our founders, they would plan, they would prepare for battle, and then they prayed. And that's what made all the difference. And in this case, Patton made printed 250,000 little cards that had this prayer on it, and they distributed those to every soldier in the 3rd Army. And those spare cards arrived right after Patton had been mobilized to relieve Bastogne that had been surrounded by Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge. And amazingly, within 24 hours after those prayer cards landed, the weather unexpectedly changed. The snows quit. They were expected to go for two more weeks. The Army Air Corps was in the air and drove the Nazis back across the line. And George Patton fully attributed that miracle to the prayer card.
- [34:24]

So I have a story on this particular event. I have an article. I can't remember if it's Life magazine, It's one of those older magazines that did a spread on this back in the 1940s, after the war. And it was crediting as a source, one of the main guys that was with Patton. And he said that, you know, they had prepared, they had done. And then the storms and the rains and the snows and everything just bogged everything down. They couldn't move. They just couldn't move. And Patton was. He went in. This is the story that I have, and I don't know if it's true or not. Patton went in to a church and he was praying. And apparently the guy who was the source of this one story said he was standing outside and he was speaking to the Lord and he was angry, and he was like, we've done everything and we have prayed and we need your help. We just need a day or two of this to stop. Please, please help us. And he said he was very animated and a little bit cross, and then he left and asked to develop the prayer, etc. Etc. And then after the rain stopped, they went in. They. Because the rains and the snows stopped, they could move the tanks and all the equipment, and they won. And he said in this article from Life magazine years ago that Patton actually went back to that same church and begged for forgiveness for. For a moment of passion and thanked God. Do you know if that part is true?

I have. I have read that. I believe it is because we found information about that. And it was his initial experiences praying in that. That chapel, that. That church. He somewhat references it in his speech because that's when he realizes that the advancement that they had made so far from landing at D Day all the way into France, he said, is because our families and the people back home are praying for us.
- [36:33]
Glenn Beck
Correct.
- [36:34]
Barry Loudermilk
And he says, but that is no longer enough. We have to have every soldier in the 3rd army praying now. And that was as a result of his prayer in the chapel, as he realized we need more prayer.

Barry, I can't believe the providential timing of your book. I mean, I know you released it this summer, but I think the time for it to really show its face is right now. I think because of the unfortunate death of Charlie Kirk, the assassination of our good friend, I believe we are in the beginning of what could be, if we maintain it, a real revival. Because I know nothing will save us except God. And if we turn back to him, we recognize him, we praise him, we humble ourselves, and we pray for his help. The Lord will save us again, whether we deserve it or not. He will extend his grace. And I just think your book is so providentially timed.
- [37:43]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, I appreciate it. We felt very led to release this book on July 4th this year, and our goal is to get this into as many hands as we can. We have churches that have told us they're using it as Sunday school curriculum.

Glenn Beck
Good.

I spoke to a group of pastors yesterday, and the pastor that introduced me brought the book up, and he said, every one of you need this. This is great sermon material right here. Some of the most prominent pastors across the nation have contacted me and said, hey, may I use this story in my sermon? I'm like, absolutely. This is what it's there for. We want people to know these stories and share these stories, especially with this next generation coming up. Because I'm with you. I believe the assassination of Charlie Kirk is telling us that we are in the midst of this new revival. And the reason I say that is something my dad would tell me. Look, since I've been in Congress, I have been through two assassination attempts. I've been run over. I mean, I've been through four than most people have to go through there in their life. And I've. One thing my dad used to tell me is he said, look, son, if you're going through something that's bad, a tribulation, it could be a good thing. Because he would say. He said, look, before we landed on the beaches of Normandy, when we were training in England, the Nazis weren't shooting at us when we got on the ships. They weren't shooting at us when we got on the Higgins boats and just left the ship. They weren't shooting at us. It was when we started taking their ground, is when they started shooting. And the closer we got, the more intense the fire was. He said, that's how you could tell where your target was, was how intense the fire was. So he said, look, if you're. If you're not being attacked, you need to consider maybe you're not a threat to the enemy or you're over the wrong target. But if you are, it could be a sign that you're doing the right thing and you're taking ground. And I think that's where we are right now. But we have to be equipped to know it is this very thing, prayer, that has sustained us for 250 years against all odds.

Let me tell you about good ranchers. You know, I liked good ranchers when they were just people trying to save the American farmer and the American rancher. I thought that was really important. I liked them when they were all they were doing is bringing home, you know, 100% American beef and chicken and pork and fish to people's homes, ensuring that they were getting the best quality of meat they could get. That was really all they needed to do to earn my love and respect. But that wasn't good enough for good ranchers. They weren't satisfied with that. This fall, they're giving away Thanksgiving ham every single week just for posting a photo of your Thursday night dinner with your family on Instagram, use the hashtag back to the table and tag ood Ranchers. Thousands of my listeners already have made the switch to Good Ranchers.

Okay, now that we got that all, let legal and information through. Let me just tell you quickly, relief factor. If something's bothering you every day, you don't just ignore it and you don't just hope it fades. You do something about it. When aches and stiffness become a constant, they start to take momentum. Your patience, I mean, you turn really. Last night was not a good day for pain for me last night and I just felt bad for my wife. I just, I got home late last night and I just was, I was a little grumpy. I was a little grumpy, grumpy. And I hate it. Pain does all kinds of things to you. I have, I've got to get some back surgery done. And so it's kind of up at a really, really high level right now. But the, the pain that I felt that, that inflammation was causing me for years. I started taking relief factor and it made my life manageable on most days. Really, really good. And I want you to try it. It's a three week quick start because you gotta be who you are. You have to live life. And I mean, I don't want to live this way. You don't want to live this way. Get their three week quick start. Give it a try. For 1995, visit relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. My wife said to me last night, you haven't been taking your relief factor last few days, have you? I can't lie to her because she usually sets them out for me. And I'm like, oh, well, don't Complain to me. I want to talk to you about loneliness. But first I just want to say, I don't know your name. I don't know where you're sitting right now, what's in your hands, even if you've spoken to another person today. But I do know you're there. I can feel it somehow or another. I don't know how. Maybe just the same way you know that I'm speaking directly to you, even though this is mass broadcast. But I want to thank you for meeting me here again today and remind you that you're here for a reason. We all are. We're here for a reason. And something. Something wild and miraculous is happening in our country right now. I just want you to recognize first, you didn't have to be here. You could have not turned on the radio. You could have listened to another podcast, but you didn't. For some reason, you're listening to this one. And you and I are both trying to just make sense of a world that just doesn't seem to make much sense. And sometimes that can make you feel incredibly lonely. More and more Americans right now are spending more and more time alone. We have a loneliness epidemic going on. And it's weird because we live at a time where communications have never been easier. You can talk to people all around the world, and yet we're alone. I'm experiencing this in my own life in a weird way. My kids have moved out. My older kids moved from next door. They left for the snowy tundra of the north. And my younger kids are now on their own. And we're selling our house. And we've had time to walk around that big empty house filled with memories. And it's really lonely when everybody is gone. It's really lonely. You know, people always say, nobody on their deathbed ever said, I wish I would have spent more time at work. I'm going through that right now. I'm living a future that it might be, you know, perhaps, like you, a life well spent, but everybody spread all over the country, and you have a ton of time on your hands alone. And that plays games with your head, doesn't it? Loneliness is a strange thing because it's not just the absence of people. You can be surrounded by people packed shoulder to shoulder on a subway, hearing their laughter through the apartment walls, feeling the vibration of life all around you, and yet it's like you're sealed inside of a glass room that nobody else can see into. They don't look at you, they don't hear you. And maybe After a while, in dark moments, you start to wonder, am I even really here at all? I can only relate to this in the way I have seen. I lived in New York City, and that is a lonely place to be. You're surrounded by people. I saw this play out in front of me when I was in New York City. I was waiting for my daughter at lunch and she was running late. And there was this restaurant that we would eat at. And it was down under Rockefeller Center. It was right at the ice rink at Rockefeller Center. And I was sitting on a table for two by a window that looked right out on the ice. And I saw this woman. She looked much older than she was, I'm sure, kind of like Adrian from Rocky. Do you remember in that first movies? That's how I think of her now is Adrian from Rocky. She was pretty, but she didn't see it. And maybe it was because nobody in her life saw her that way. I'm not really sure. But she came out and she sat down on this bench and she pulled out of this tattered bag her own ice skates. And they were really nice ice skates didn't match what she was wearing or her bag. And they were not new. They were just really well cared for. And I watched her take off her shoes and put each one on and lace them up tightly. And then she stood up and she stood on the ice. And this frumpy woman that honestly, if she hadn't have sat right in front of my window and maybe because I didn't have a phone to scan, I may not have ever seen her. And she stands up and she gets onto the ice and she is so graceful. She is floating like she became like a natural element, one with the ice. It was amazing. Every move was angelic or like a ballerina. And my daughter came to the table. I said, look at this woman. Look, watch her. And we watched her for 30 minutes or so. And she was so graceful. She would gracefully just. I mean, it looked like art. She would skate around the clods like me that were about to crawl, crash into her. And she was in her own world. I sat there and my daughter and I talked about her. Was she a professional skater, do you think? Was she in the Olympics at one point? I mean, she's really good. And then she came off the ice and she sat right back down in front of our window. And she opened up that frumpy, worn bag, she took off her skates, put them in and put on her shoes. And she once again became the woman who the world I don't think ever really saw. And it didn't take long before she just blended into the sea of people and just disappeared. I think about her all the time, because it's not just her. I wondered, does she come here for her lunch every day? Who is she? Where does she work? Does anybody know what she has in her bag that probably sits on the floor next to her desk? Does anybody know she's really an artist inside? I've thought about her for years, and perhaps more lately I've written movies in my head about her. Movies that aren't ever going to be made, but I see them on the screen of my mind. She's the star in a. In a world where. Where she does her nine to five. She doesn't dress for anyone because she knows who she is and what other people think is not just important to her. Her job is just that. It's a job. She has friends there, but a real life. Her real joy is at home. And when she gets home, her husband sees her as the beautiful, graceful, angelic woman that she actually is. Imagine she was there alone on her lunch hour because her kids were in school. But most evenings in the winter, you'll find her skating with her children. And her daughter watches mom skate as she holds onto the side of the wall until she can find her own balance. She thinks, while watching her mom, that I want to grow up, just be just like her. How many people exist all around us that no one knows that you don't know? You walk by the desk every day and you don't really know them. Have you ever just sat down in a park and just really looked at a crowd and seen the ones that are alone and unseen by the crowd all around them and wondered, what is their story? Where do they come from? What do they do? And no one stops to notice. And there are millions of us. And maybe sometimes you're left with a gnawing in your chest that whispers, have I been forgotten? I mean, does my story even matter? My mom thought before she killed herself that the world would be fine without her. In fact, she thought it would be better off without her. That was a lie. The games loneliness plays with your head. And it convinces you to stay quiet, stop reaching out. Because why would anybody care? I just want you to know you are here for a reason. And maybe, maybe. Maybe that reason is because you need to hear. People do care. I care. Or maybe it's because you're supposed to send that message to somebody else today. That right now, in this moment you're not invisible. You're not forgotten. You're heard and you're seen. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Perhaps too much. I don't. I don't know yet. Looking over the horizon, see what's coming or what is possible. And that's a blessing. It can be a curse. On some days, bad days, it's a curse. But in the end, I always come back to him. No matter what's happening in our world or our life. It's a blessing because we write the future. It doesn't write us. And that's something that is lost too many times. Don't allow time to write your future. Take control of it. Write your own future. Know that things can always change. But wherever you are is the right place for you right now. What is it you're supposed to learn? What is it you're supposed to do right now? What is the next right thing? Knowing that with God all things are possible, and with him, you're never alone. I want you to know that. We may never shake hands. We may never share a table. We may never laugh over something small and stupid together. But if I could, I would look you straight in the eye and tell you without blinking that you matter. And I am grateful that you are here. The world is different because you're in it. And maybe you can't see that right now, but I promise you it's true. And if you're not struggling with this, somebody else you know is. And you need to tell them what I just told you. In this sea of loneliness so strange, in this epidemic of loneliness, people begin to feel it's because they're broken. Loneliness is not proof that you're broken. Loneliness is proof that you're human. Maybe there's not enough human stuff that we do every day because we were built for connection. One on one. Look each other in the eye, talk to each other, feel somebody's hand, their shoulder, whatever it is, that connection, that love, that meaning that we all search for. And every time we reach for someone, every time we put those lies behind us, every small act of defiance like that against those whispers, you are punching a hole in the glass wall that's all around. We need to tell each other you're not as alone as you think you are. Nobody wants to say it out loud, but we're all alike. We just have different things that are going on in our life, different things we're ashamed of. We're all alike. That is the thing that will break the spell. Understanding that we are all alike, that we're not that unique. It's so weird because we are all individuals and we all are unique, and we all have our own talents and our own gifts and our own role to play. That does not duplicate. I can't duplicate you, and you can't duplicate me because we're all unique. But then again, we're all exactly the same. It's this weird thing that. But once you get your arms around that, once you realize I'm not different. We all feel these things. We all have something inside of us that we're afraid of in some way or another. We're afraid we'll be exposed. We're afraid that people will figure out we're a fraud. We don't really belong here. We're not really good enough to be here. Whatever it is, once we realize now everybody in the room feels that way. Some people have just recognized it and conquered it. And the way I conquered it was to talk about it. Talk about the flaws in my life. I remember Stu was with me one of his first days. He was an intern. And somebody had called up and said, oh, you're Mr. Perfect. Because at the time, I had this squeaky clean image, but I was a raging alcoholic. Raging alcoholic. My life was all screwed up. And somebody said, oh, you're Mr. Squeaky Clean. And I stopped. Do you remember this, Stu? And I stopped in the middle of this conversation with somebody, and I said, ah, you know what? Let me tell you something. You don't know who I am. Let me tell you who Glenn Beck is. And it was at this time that I was. I didn't want to do radio and anymore. And I was going to throw my career away. And I just. I was looking for a way to implode. So give me excuse to go back to school and honestly become a chef. That's what I really wanted to do, is be a chef at the time. God, what was wrong with me? But I said, you know, let me tell you who. Who I really am. And the whole room went quiet. Everybody, all of the producers, everybody on the show looked at me like, oh, dear God, what is he doing? And I said, you know who I really am? I got this problem and this problem, you know, I'm struggling against, you know, alcoholism right now. I'm getting a divorce. And I shot the air, and I was really raw about it, and I really did say some of the worst things about me. And I turned the mic off and I looked at Stu and I said, stu, write this day down. This is the day Glenn Beck ended his career and the exact opposite happened. It was the weirdest thing. The thing that I had been afraid of, that people would know who I really was, ended up being the thing that taught me we're all alike. Because I had people come up to me after that and they said in whispers, they'd glance around like, is anybody listening? Hey, what you said the other day, I can't believe you had the balls to say that. Thank you for saying that because I'm going through exactly the same thing. I just didn't want anybody to know. I thought I was alone. And after I had multiple people come up to me on the first day and say things like that, always in a whispered tone, hey, don't say anything about this. But I realized, oh my gosh, we're all struggling with the same self doubt, all of us. I look at my kids now and they're struggling through so many things. And I want to say, I know I've been there, done it. But they don't hear it because it's something about, I don't know, teenagers or 20 somethings where you have to just go through this yourself and you think everybody else who's older is stupid and can't relate, but we can. And they'll figure that out at some point because we all do it. We all go through the same thing. I just, I just want you to know you're not as alone as you think you are. And if the only proof you have is, you know, my voice in this moment, let it be enough for you to know that somebody, even though strangely he was the guy on the radio or on the podcast, somebody saw you today. And I'm glad you're here. Really, truly, I'm glad you're here. It makes it worth me showing up every day. We're going to take a quick break here in a minute and then I'm going to come back with Rob McCoy. He was Charlie Kirk's pastor and he was on with me. When was it? Two weeks ago, Stu, when we first started talking about South Korea. Was it last week? I don't even remember. Time has gone. But Rob McCoy, he is turning Point's faith co chair and he was just over in South Korea and saw one of the pastors we talked about last night on my TV show, Pastor Soon. He was only allowed to see him for about 10 minutes. It was quite emotional because they are, what they're doing in South Korea should serve as a, a very loud warning to America on multiple levels. Not only what's coming here and across the world. But also what happens if we lose the ally of South Korea? Because that's the direction it's heading. Glenn Beck all right, our, our sponsor is the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Tunnel to Towers has started to honor the heroes who, who gave everything for the rest of us today.

Barry Loudermilk
It.

Glenn Beck
Wasn'T a good day.
- [67:11]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
I do remember that day. Yeah, it was strange because, you know, I was new in broadcasting and had never heard anyone have an emotional breakdown on the air.
- [67:22]
Glenn Beck
And it was an emotional breakdown. It was, it was.
- [67:25]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
It wasn't. Yeah, I'm mocking you, but it was. I've never heard anyone have a moment like that and honestly, very rarely since and probably all with you, but like you had blurred it. I honestly to this day don't remember even what it was. But you said something about your life that was pretty like revealing and overtly negative. You know, I mean, you say things like I'm an alcoholic and you know, that's.
- [67:53]
Glenn Beck
No, I was very specific.
- [67:54]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Yeah, I don't remember what it was, but it was something where it was like, you know, alcoholism.
- [67:59]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [67:59]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
A lot of people struggle with it. It's known as A disease. Saying something like that is understandable, but it was something more specific than that. And I remember thinking, like, yeah, I think a good chunk of your audience is just gonna dislike you. It's like how they talk about how characters from Seinfeld are all. No one likes them. And you can't put a show on the air when no one likes any of the characters. And they proved that wrong, as you have for many, many years.
- [68:28]
Glenn Beck
Thank you. Thank you for that. Let me go. Let's talk to somebody who is actually likable. Rob McCoy, Turning Points Faith co chair, good friend of Charlie Kirk and Charlie Kirk's pastor. He just got back from South Korea. Pastor, welcome back. How are you?
- [68:45]
Rob McCoy
I'm good, Glenn, and I think you're a likable character.
- [68:50]
Glenn Beck
Spend some time. Get to know me. Come on, Come on. So let's, let's talk about what you experienced in South Korea. We talked, I think, a week ago or maybe, maybe a little longer, where they're starting to. I mean, it's bad. I talked to the pastor's son last night from Korea on the TV show, and it is really becoming dystopian and authoritarian over in, in South Korea.
- [69:15]
Rob McCoy
Yeah, it, it reminds me of the Hemingway novel the Sun Also Rises, where he said it happened gradually, then suddenly, and, and that's, that's what's happening in South Korea. They, they've packed the Supreme Court from 14 justices. Now they're going to 30.

And they just arrested the communications commissioner that.
- [69:40]
Barry Loudermilk
It's awful.
- [69:41]
Rob McCoy
I mean, I met with, with Assemblywoman Na, who was a previous judge, and she's the longest serving assembly woman in the Conservative Party, and she's fearful. I mean, they're making a hit list to get all these people arrested. And we're losing an ally rapidly.
- [70:00]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And if we lose that ally, we don't really have a way to protect Australia, New Zealand, Japan. I mean, that is a massive strategic area for us. And that's not my first concern, but it is a, is a very large concern. My first concern is, is what's happening over there is happening to all of the Western world. They just are a little further ahead than it's seemingly everybody else.
- [70:30]
Rob McCoy
Yeah, exactly. I mean, the Chinese. So we took a flight after I had spoken in Pastor Sohn's church in Pusan, and then we flew into Seoul to meet with some folks and also do a protest in front of the courthouse for Pastor Sohn. But, but on the plane, it's interesting. That day they had lifted all visa requirements for the. For Chinese. And the Koreans are the most polite people on the planet. And we get on this plane, it's packed, and as we're getting off their bum, rushing to get off the plane, all. And they said these are all Chinese people and that they, if they're there, I think it's four months. They have the ability to vote. China's invading without any shots being fired. All of South Korea, and Pastor Sohn is a rarity in that country in that he's standing in opposition to it. And most of the pastors are silent. They're starting to get encouragement and they're starting to stand. And we did have a good attendance in the protests in front of the courthouse, but.
- [71:32]
Barry Loudermilk
But we got a lot of work.
- [71:34]
Rob McCoy
To do to get these people awake. Like I said, we're going to lose an ally, but more importantly, this country's going to fall to communism.
- [71:41]
Glenn Beck
That is so crazy to think. I mean, when we think of North Korea and what they've gone through and how close of an ally and how they are for freedom, and they understand North Korea, they have just. This new regime has come in and done everything that has been tried to be done in Europe by just opening up the borders, except they're opening it to communist Chinese and it's just slipping away so fast. How long do you think before it's done?
- [72:17]
Rob McCoy
Well, I met with some business leaders, I met with politicians, and the greatest stopgap we have, and I don't know if the administration knows this. You know, Glenn, you're in the book of who's who. I'm in the book of who's he? I'm not a political operative. I don't know, you know a lot of big names, but I know, I do know that. I don't even think we have a South Korean ambassador appointed right now.
- [72:42]
Glenn Beck
We don't.
- [72:42]
Rob McCoy
And the greatest stopgap we have is tariffs. If the president can establish two tier tariffs by simply saying, look, religious freedom and no arresting of the opposition party, this will be your tariff. If you don't, this is what you're gonna get. And just smoke them. Because these business owners want their country back. They're willing to take a hit because they're watching the country evaporate before their very eyes. And the president can do that with these tariffs. He did it for two reasons. One is to bring manufacturing back, and two is to have political leverage. And this country needs help. They've been our greatest ally. Real quick, I spoke in Pastor Song's church on that Sunday. And it was to the day, the 75th anniversary of the UN forces liberating Seoul from the grasp of the Communist Chinese. And here we are, we're giving it right back to him because we're sound asleep at the wheel.
- [73:44]
Glenn Beck
You saw the pastor for, what, 10 minutes with his son for the first time since he's been arrested. What was that like?
- [73:52]
Rob McCoy
You know, the man is amazing. I go in there and I sit down. His wife is there, and she's strong as can be. She reminds me of the Korean equivalent of Erica Kirk, you know, but she hasn't lost her husband. But here he is in prison, and he just said, I'm standing strong. And I told him, I said, pastor Sohn, you're the freest man in Korea because you're here in obedience to God. And obedience to. Defiance to tyrants is obedience to God.
- [74:22]
Glenn Beck
And.
- [74:22]
Keith Wilson
And.
- [74:23]
Rob McCoy
And he's doing that. And then I told him, I said, you know, I came here because you're my friend, but more importantly, to fulfill a promise for Charlie. And this. I've never seen this man cry ever. And you don't cry in Korea. And he broke down crying, and his son even commented to me, I've never seen my dad cry like this.
- [74:41]
Barry Loudermilk
This is unbelievable.
- [74:42]
Glenn Beck
He told me that to me last night. He said, my father broke down in tears. I didn't know what to even think. I've never seen him cry.
- [74:50]
Rob McCoy
Yeah, but he even said, I'm on a mission trip. And I said, you're probably gonna have to stay here until the church wakes up. He says, as long as it takes. He's committed to getting his country back. And, you know, most of the folks I talked to, I said, look, you guys are gonna be political dissidents if this doesn't hold out. And they said, we're not leaving our country. We're gonna fight for it. But, you know, God gave us this country. It's important to us. It's important to America. And I just. I wish our government would wake up to it, which I hope they will. And, you know, churches, because of your help, Glenn, are waking up. A lot of pastors want to go over there, but the current president is now outlawed foreign protesting. He's doing everything he can to just stop any opposition voice. And I'm surprised that I got out of the country because I turned and turned to the police, and I said, look, Romans 13 says, your minister of justice to execute wrath on those who would do evil. You don't point your gun at those who are doing good. You're here to protect the people, you know, not enslave them. And. And then I walked right through with my friend Stephen Martin, Pastor Stephen from Texas. And we. We walked through those police officers, looked them right in the eye. After I said that, five of them were looking at us like, thank you, and the others were bowing their head in shame. They're in a lot of trouble, and we got to pray for them. But we also have to activate as a government.
- [76:10]
Glenn Beck
I'm going to call the president either today or tomorrow. Rob, would you just write a note to me and tell me exactly what you need him to hear, and I will pass it on to him.
- [76:19]
Rob McCoy
I will do exactly that.
- [76:21]
Barry Loudermilk
Glenn?
- [76:21]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. How can we help?
- [76:23]
Rob McCoy
Well, first of all, Glenn, I just want to commend you and your entire audience. You have been the pebble in the pond, and the ripples are going out. And, you know, the definition of a friend is when the whole world goes out, they come in, you're that friend, and you have created this stir. So I would say to all of your radio audience, any connection you have in your circle of influence, get this out. Most of the pastors I'm talking to, they're saying the same. We didn't know. We just didn't know. Well, it's catching on, and it is like wildfire. We know what those are out here in California, and you're starting a fire, and I'm grateful for it. And.
- [76:58]
Glenn Beck
And every single difference. It's happening so fast. I mean, when you think of South Korea, you don't think of it being a country that is about to be taken by the Chinese, you know, that's about to go communist, and it's already gone authoritarian. I mean, the things that they have done now, they are just arresting anyone who is a conservative. They're just arresting them and throwing them in jail. They're dismantling everything, as you said. I mean, you know, I talked to Alan Dershowitz about, you know, the rise and fall of democracies, and he said the last thing, and this is the knockout punch, is they change the Supreme Court, and they usually end up, you know, putting. Doubling the size of it or whatever. He said when they. When they do that, you no longer have the rule of law. And as you started with, that's just. They've just done that. I mean, it's so bad for the west, so bad.
- [77:59]
Rob McCoy
Just to give Americans an idea, especially conservative Americans, we went through the Biden administration. Imagine Kamala winning and getting the House and The Senate by filibuster proof majority packing. The Supreme Court. That's where we are today. They would be suppressing religious freedom. They're silencing opposition voice. They would have put President Trump in jail for 700 years. They would have imprisoned his family that anyone who stood with him, they'd be in prison. Just what we went through, just imagine it. Exponential. And that's. That's where Korea is right now.
- [78:35]
Glenn Beck
Your sign of hope from over there. How are the. Let me ask you this. The people that did the. And I don't even want to mention names, but I had one of the young ladies in my office, and she was, she said, you know, we were part of this. Charlie. We brought Charlie over, yada yada. And I, you know, I. I said to her, you're going home and you might be arrested. She said, oh, yeah, I know, but I have to go home. How are they feeling? How is that movement?
- [79:06]
Rob McCoy
Because of that young lady's work and these young people. There were certain times where I'd be in a large mall in Seoul or I'd be in Busan, People would come up for autographs because they had seen either the church service or they'd seen YouTube videos produced by a number of, you know, outlying non traditional media that we had done there. And they were coming up for autographs. They wanted a picture. And it's young people, they want their country back. And they're. They're looking. They. They started a movement there. And pastors are waking up as well. So my. My hope is that there is. There is 20% of that nation that is committed to doing anything necessary to stand in opposition to this, even be put in jail, and we've got to come and help them. And I told him, I said, look, you know, Churchill was completely surrounded. All of Europe had fallen, and he held on in Great Britain until America entered the war. Hang on, hang on. I'm gonna go back and do my best.
- [80:06]
Glenn Beck
Anything you need, Rob. Anything you need. We have you.
- [80:12]
Rob McCoy
I know that like I know the nose on my face. Glenn. You guys are epic, and I just can't. I love you as much as a man can love another man. Still be a.

Glenn Beck

More Glenn Beck in a jiff. So, you know, I talked about South Korea and I want to switch topics over to Canada next. Did you know that Alberta is trying to break free? Alberta is kind of like Texas for Canada and it's trying to break free from Ottawa and the far left ideology. You know, they're now taking guns up in Canada. I mean, what's happening in South Korea is happening in Canada. South Korea is just a little more dramatic in its, in its speed and its abuse of rights on religious people. But I mean, Canada is, is headed there. And now there's a big, a big movement to have Alberta say we're breaking free of Canada. I mean, is that even possible? What is actually happening there and what is happening with the gun grab up in Canada? Where are, where is our ally Canada headed? We're going to talk to Keith Wilson. He is part of that movement. He's a Canadian attorney and a freedom fighter. We're going to talk to him about that coming up in just a minute. Hour three of the podcast, Hour three of the national broadcast. More in a minute.

The American Christian country singer Sean. What is it Coit? Oh no, sorry Sean. He had his Canadian worship tour blocked by leftist politicians. Montreal even had the police try to stop him from congregating in a Montreal church. The event went ahead. An antifa radical threw out two smoke bombs in the congregation. Police refused to track down the bomber. But independent news organization Rebel News, who I absolutely love, did they investigate. Turns out the antifa bomb thrower works for the Canadian Department of Defense. And yet the police still do nothing. Plus, there is a landmark event happening. Ottawa is trying to take away guns in Canada from citizens, from law abiding gun owners, hunters, sports shooters. They are starting to fight back. This all plays into the hands of Alberta. Alberta is much more like Texas than any other part of Canada. They have a lot of in common with Texas and they are now saying they want to break free of Canada. Secession from Canada and the Supreme Court has just Laid out a way for them to actually do it legally. We have one of the attorneys on this and to try to explain what's happening in Canada, how crazy it's getting, why it's getting this crazy. Keith Wilson joins me in just about 660 seconds. So stand by for that. Now, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust dot com. This is my company. I started this, I don't even know, 10 years ago, 12 years ago.

It's real estate agents I trust.com. that's real estate agents agentsitrust.com Keith Wilson, Canadian attorney, to talk to us about what's happening up in Canada. Hello, Keith, how are you?
- [89:16]
Keith Wilson
I'm great. Good morning. Thanks for having me on. It's an honor.
- [89:19]
Glenn Beck
It's great to have you on. We've been trying to talk to somebody up in, you know, in Ottawa, I'm sorry, in Alberta about what's happening for a while there. I know things are moving at breakneck speed. Bring us, bring us up to speed. Can we start with the gun thing? What is happening in Canada with, with Ottawa going after all the guns?
- [89:39]
Keith Wilson
Well, it's really remarkable. You know, here we are, your closest neighbor and, you know, I'm sure Americans have this image of Canada, you know, strong and free and that visual of our Royal Canadian Mounted Police and their red surges riding horses and, you know, all those sorts of things. And the reality is, Jeff, we're just slipped very badly since the COVID mandates into a very authoritarian, dystopian type phase like we're seeing in other countries. And the gun grab is a good example. A few years ago, the leftist federal liberal government, they have a hate on for anything to do with guns and freedom and Christians and religion. And so they announced that they were going to start building a list of guns we're not allowed to have. They started with what they called assault style rifles, which were really just scary looking guns. Anything that was black. Anyway, over the years they've expanded that list now up to three or four hundred different models of hunting rifles, shotguns, sport shooting guns, and there's over 500,000 guns that are now illegal. We still hold them. And this year they've announced they're going to start a contract confiscation process of rounding up and taking our guns.
- [91:00]
Glenn Beck
Boy, that is not going to end well, especially in places like Alberta. I mean, do I have it right? Alberta is kind of like Texas. It's a ranch kind of area, it's a wilderness. It's tough, tough people that are independent minded. Right?
- [91:18]
Keith Wilson
Not only that, you know, like first of all, Alberta is just north of Montana. We're a huge province. We're both the same size and land mass as Texas. And our origins are actually from Texans and people from the Dakotas and Wyoming after the Civil War, moving up here and doing cattle drive. So our background is our origins. Our founders are Americans. But not only that, we have. Alberta has the third largest reserve of oil and gas in the world and Texas has a lot of oil. There's so many similarities. Yes, we have a cowboy culture. We're Texas north. Guns are important to us. We're hunters. We've got that rugged individualism. Our religion and our Christianity is really important to us. So there's a huge amount of parallels between Alberta and Texas.
- [92:06]
Glenn Beck
So I know how Texas would respond to this and it would be, get the hell off my land. How is Alberta going to react to this?
- [92:17]
Barry Loudermilk
This?
- [92:18]
Keith Wilson
Well, I mean, we all know that history has taught us that good things don't happen after governments take guns away from citizens.
- [92:27]
Glenn Beck
Never. Never.
- [92:28]
Keith Wilson
And so Albertans are very mindful of that. We're fundamentally distrustful of the federal government in Ottawa. And this may sound provocative, but they basically hate Albertans. They hate our conservatism, they hate our Christianity. They hate our sense of freedom, our belief in property rights and the rule of law, and all those things that doesn't abide with the new progressive leftist Marxists. So what are. Our province is like a state, the province of Alberta. So we have a premier, which is like a governor and our premier. Premier Smith has been very adamant that the police forces in Alberta are not to cooperate with the federal government when they come for the gun grab. She's done some other really interesting legal things, like said that the federal officials will have to get a seizure permit from our attorney general. And she says, she joked she has it on good authority that our attorney general won't be issuing them. But, I mean, it will come to a head at some point. It's frightening to think about that. I don't know where it's going to go, but it's part of a pattern of many other events up here in Canada that have led to so many Albertans to say, we want out of here. We want to form our own country. We want to be like Canada once was, true north, strong and free.
- [93:53]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so that is just terrifying, really terrifying, because, you know, especially with all that oil, no country wants to let that go. Do you think the rest of Canada will just be cool with that?
- [94:12]
Keith Wilson
Yeah, well, you know, Alberta really has a unique culture, and, you know, there's great variety as, you know, variability in the culture of the United States. I've traveled extensively with my family over the years. You know, there's a great difference between the folks up in Connecticut than there is the folks in Texas. But, you know, the rest of Canada, primarily our sister province to the east, it's called Saskatchewan, they're very much aligned with us on everything. And they not only have oil and gas, they also have the largest reserves of uranium in the world, as well as potash, which should go straight down into the farm fields of Iowa and so on. So. So we're important strategically for the United States, and these two provinces are aligned. I think if Alberta votes to separate, Saskatchewan will come. But other parts of Canada, they're like these blue states in the U.S. the hardcore Democrats, they think the most important thing to do is to display Pride flags. And, you know, we started off with having Pride Week and LGBTQ stuff as a day, and then it became a week, and then it became a month, and it's a national celebration for a month. And all of these extremely progressive views, Wide open immigration, our immigration numbers are out of control. So their mindset in the rest of Canada is very much left lean Meaning very much wanting government to look after everything, wanting government to care for every aspect of their life. Whereas those of us in the west, on the prairies, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, no, we, we don't think government's very good at doing much of anything. We'll luck after our own problems. We're rugged individualism. So there is an incredible divide in Canada. Canada is not a united nation, is not a nation that's united with common values anymore at all. The rest of the country's gone very hard left, whereas Alberta and Saskatchewan have stayed true to conservative principles.
- [96:28]
Glenn Beck
As a Canadian, how does that feel to you?
- [96:34]
Keith Wilson
It's very frightening. You know, my wife and I have four kids actually. You and I are the same age and you know, so you know, the things we think about. Right. And it's a scary time up here for the future of our kids. The, you know, just the economic aspect of alone. There's the social culture which is downright frightening. You know, the gun grab, what's happened to Sean Foyt and other examples which we can talk about more. But the economics. Alberta is the largest generator of wealth in our country through our oil and gas activities, our petrochemical, our refining, all of these things, our agriculture and so on. And we have this goofy thing in our constitution where if one province is doing well, we have to send our wealth to the provinces that aren't doing well notionally. So they call it equalization. Well, a number of the provinces in the other part of the country to the east get 20% of their budget from hard working Albertans and then they impose policies on us. So for example, the federal liberals are all these green, you know, this green leftist stuff. So we've got a net zero rule, we've got a production cap, we've got a tanker ban, we've got all these things because they don't want Alberta to produce our oil and gas. So they're holding it in the ground. They're holding our economy. Albertans would be richer than citizens of Saudi Arabia or Dubai if they would let us produce our oil and gas.
- [98:03]
Barry Loudermilk
They're not.
- [98:05]
Keith Wilson
So all of these things are layering on top of one another. This authoritarianism that we're seeing that started with the COVID mandates. Canada had some of the most restrictive mandates in the world. Many people don't realize that. So with become a dark time up here. The thing is the progressives, the lefties and the rest of the country seem to be really happy with this and want government to give them more. We have our notional Free health care. Now we have free dental, notionally free prescriptions and almost free daycare. Of course, the government can't deliver any of those things. They're all, you know, they're as real as Mickey Mouse.
- [98:55]
Glenn Beck
I would contend there. Mickey Mouse is realer than that. But the State Department, the Mouse is very powerful, at least south of your border. The State Department had a meeting, a second high level meeting in Washington, I think on Monday. And our administration is eager to recognize Alberta as an independent state or country. Can you give me any insight on what is happening on this side of the border and what does that mean with our relationship with the nut job parts of Canada?
- [99:37]
Keith Wilson
Well, sure I can. I received a briefing from that delegation yesterday. You know, I think the Trump administration is very concerned about what's happening in Canada. You know what your largest land border. You know what's interesting too, just a friend of mine, actually one of the people involved in the freedom convoy protest is a retired army captain up here and he explained to me that part of the defense doctrine for the United States post Cold War is a concern about, you know, Russia and or China teaming up and coming invading the United States from the north. So that would invasion would come through Alberta. Right. And you're smart enough, you're not going to wait till they get to Montana. You're going to come up here. So Alberta is very important strategically as well. In fact, we have the most amount of military bases in Canada are in Alberta and the largest ones. So we're a very important strategic for a number of reasons also geopolitically. Look what just happened with our leftist ideological prime minister, Prime Minister Carney. He and his colleagues Steimer and Macron and one other unilaterally announced that they were going to recognize the state of Palestine at the same time that the Trump administration is making progress and trying to negotiate a peace deal. You know, the administration in Ottawa is doing a lot of things. There's so many. We have this Chinese corruption, political inference thing. The Chinese government has police stations. So there's a lot of things for the US Administration to be concerned about about what's happening in Canada at many levels from many different lenses as I've just described. Then you have Alberta, where our Supreme Court of Canada has said that if a province and the people of a province hold a province wide referendum, a vote, and the vote is to leave Canada and become their own nation, that they can do so. Canada is unique in the world in that we're the only democracy where the government, the Constitution, the Courts have laid out a legal process for a region, a state or a province to secede and become their own independent nation. And one of the critical steps in that process is international recognition. So my understanding from the meetings that that have occurred that the Trump administration officials have indicated that the US Would recognize a vote by the people of Alberta to become independent. So that's very important to us as we go into, we expect the vote to occur in 2026, sometime around this time next year. And, and I think the Trump administration also recognizes you guys have, right above your border in Montana, the third largest reserve of oil and gas in the world. Look at the power of that, the energy independence. It takes you from an energy superpower to a mega superpower. So, and then we're completely culturally aligned. So I think there's a recognition. And in Canada's, the leftists in Ottawa are being global disruptors. They're not helping, they're helping build the governments with this anti freedom, anti Christian phenomena that we're seeing that it's hard to believe it's happening, but it is so. Well, it's an encouraging fact that these discussions are occurring.

Glenn Beck

This is the one thing that I just so urgently ask you to talk to your friends and family about. Last hour we told you about South Korea. This hour we're talking to you about Canada. The west is on the ropes. You know, look at what's happening in Europe. Look at what's happening in the UK the, the west is about to crumble and we would be right there with them if we hadn't have, if we had Kamala Harris, we would be going down this exact same road. It is so critical that people understand this fight is not about Donald Trump. This fight is not about the Republicans or the Democrats. They're doing this in every, they're arresting people like you and me in South Korea. They're arresting people like you and me in France. They're doing it in England. They're now doing it in Canada. They're not for Donald Trump. Wait a minute. That tells you something. This is a global power grab. This is the left saying we're going to grab all the power. We're keeping people in their little cages because we know better than them. If you believe in your sovereignty as a nation and as an individual, that's what makes you an enemy. And if you're a Christian or a religious person on top of it, it's even worse for you. Please wake your neighbors up.

Do you hear Stephen Miller yesterday talking about, you know, what we're doing now in Memphis? By order of the governor, the governor has asked for help, national help. So the National Guard is on its way into Memphis to put an end to the madness in Memphis. And here's Stephen Miller on this yesterday.
- [108:49]
Keith Wilson
We will liberate this city from the.
- [108:51]
Glenn Beck
Criminal element that has plagued it for generations.
- [108:54]
Keith Wilson
This is not just a strategy shift.
- [108:57]
Glenn Beck
This is an attitude shift. We are not, not going to live.
- [109:00]
Keith Wilson
In an environment, every war anywhere where.
- [109:03]
Glenn Beck
There is a street that belongs to a criminal, where there is a neighborhood that belongs to a gang, where there is any physical space anywhere that belongs.
- [109:12]
Keith Wilson
To anyone other than the law abiding.
- [109:15]
Glenn Beck
Citizens and families of Memphis.
- [109:17]
Keith Wilson
The idea that there is a square inch of block in this city where.
- [109:22]
Glenn Beck
A citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable.
- [109:25]
Barry Loudermilk
This is Memphis.
- [109:26]
Keith Wilson
This is the United States of America.
- [109:28]
Glenn Beck
And all that is done, it's over, it's finished. That is. Wow. Meanwhile, in Portland, Antifa has their 100 nights of rule. They have now ruled the streets for 100 nights and police aren't doing anything at all. I mean, Stu, what are we headed for?
- [109:55]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
It's amazing. You know, first of all, the Stephen Miller thing, you'd look, some people might look at that and say it's a bit utopian, right? Like, how are you going to just nirvana, you're going to be able to stop all crime? No, but that should be the aspiration. Should it not at least be, you know, should it at least be the goal, one that you admit to and acknowledge?
- [110:16]
Glenn Beck
Is it aspirational or reasonable to say there's no street in America that should belong to the mob or to, you know, gangs or whatever. There is no street, you might say, you know, there's going to be crime, but there is no street that should be off limits and run by anybody else other than the elected representatives.
- [110:41]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
I mean, first of all, both of us lived near New Haven, Connecticut. Some streets should be run by the mob. And they run, they're run very well if the mob exists.
- [110:48]
Glenn Beck
Well, I'm just, I'm not, I'm not saying the mob exists, if it does exist. I, of course, love the mob.
- [110:53]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Huge fans, great pizza places. But, yeah, agreed, it should not be overtaking a community. I went on a vacation this summer and I was in an area in Florida, and I just remember just walking around thinking, it doesn't seem like anything could possibly go wrong in this place. There are places like that in America. Turning major cities, cities into those areas is not probably fully plausible. However, that should be our goal. Our goal should be that people don't walk around terrified, don't walk around scared. You should be able to, at the very least, Glenn, with approaches that we all know and understand, be able to reduce crime massively in these cities. It's only caring. It's only caring and resources to make that happen. We all know that we can stop crime largely if we put enough resources at it and actually care. Throw enough resources at it and actually care. And that's what it seems to be that Stephen Miller and Trump are talking about here.
- [111:58]
Glenn Beck
I think that's generally true, but I think what has really been lost is not caring as much as common sense. I mean, you can't. You can care all you want, but if you're not putting common sense into it, if you're not saying, oh, by the way, how do we stop crime? I don't know. We punish the criminals. Yeah, that's how you stop crying.
- [112:22]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
That's a better way of phrasing it than throwing resources at it. Because throwing resources could be some liberal program of hugging each criminal is hugging. That's not what I'm talking about.
- [112:30]
Glenn Beck
You're right, because that's what they say. They, they say they're the ones that care so much. We're going to take care of these poor criminals and you know, how dare you judge them. We're gonna make it happy and healthy with hugs. No.
- [112:41]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Right.
- [112:42]
Glenn Beck
But you look at dc, Common sense is required.
- [112:43]
Barry Loudermilk
Right.
- [112:43]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Dc you put a bunch of. In that case, troops were National Guard and such like that in this case, too.
- [112:52]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [112:53]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
And that one, though, they're specifically in Portland talking about. And in Memphis, it's being welcomed, as we talked about, by the governor In Portland, they're talking about protecting federal buildings, which is under their scope. But it's a situation where any city could do this themselves. You don't need a federal response to hire a bunch of law enforcement officers to enforce the law. You don't need that. You should be able to do it yourself. And that's what I'm talking about when I say people caring. It's about these cities do the skid row thing, right? They just kind of like, oh, well, cordon off that area. I mean like Chicago. And I've been to Chicago several times over the past few years when it's been a big topic of conversation. And each time I've been there, honestly, I haven't felt unsafe at all in Chicago. That's largely because I'm not going to any of the areas where all these murders are happening. I'm sure some of the crime obviously happens in the more tourist friendly areas. But generally speaking, walking around the areas of Chicago where you would go, if you're just visiting to check out a baseball game or see a concert or whatever you might be doing, most of that stuff seems completely fine in the city because they've gordon off all the areas of violence to the places that they don't care about. And I, you know, all the people on the left will say, what do you mean we don't care? We're the only ones who care about those areas. Do you? You don't show it very well if you actually do care about those people in lower income areas where all the crime is, is, I don't know, do something about it. Stop trying to blame Donald Trump who lives thousands of miles away.
- [114:29]
Glenn Beck
Would you listen to a parent that said, I care about my children, I care deeply about my children, but then was hugging it out with everyone who is hurting your children, making your children unsafe, maybe killed one of your children, maybe raped one of your children. No, you would never, you would never assign, oh, that parent really loves his children. He's enabling all of the abusers. No, you would say you're part of the abuse, you're part of the problem and those children would be taken from you. So you can't tell me you love your city. You're loving. We're just doing this through love. No, you don't. You can claim that, but your actions do not match the fruit of the word love. They don't.
- [115:20]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
You know, in Portland, they're talking about Dave Marcus was out there. He Works for Fox News. And he's out there, like, actually looking at. He's like, I can't even believe this is happening. And went there to just check it out and see what was happening there. And he was saying, you know, it's clear. The police have been told that they can't do anything.
- [115:37]
Glenn Beck
Oh, in Portland.
- [115:38]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
In Portland, they've been told they are not allowed to take on the Antifa members who are taking over the community every night for 100 nights. That is a centralized decision somewhere where a decision is being made that they don't care about these people. They don't care about their community. They don't care. They'd rather let Antifa run wild. And it's like, if that's your decision, I mean, first of all, you should pay for it politically. But secondly, you're making. I mean, you are endangering every member of your community with a decision like that. And that's the type of stuff that common sense and just caring can solve.
- [116:20]
Glenn Beck
I'm just looking for that story from Fox News. I think it's the same one you were talking about. I read it this morning, and it's terrifying. I mean, he's there on the streets and he's watching what's happening. People, normal people getting surrounded. One guy drives up in a truck and they surround his truck and, you know, screaming all kinds of things at him. And he talks to the guy in the truck and says, why are you even here? And he's like, I can't take it anymore. I can't just. We just can't just give up our city. Another woman, she had her car surrounded and, you know, they were ready to yank her out of the car. And she's just a woman just driving down the street and they just, just. They're ready to beat her. And he helps her get into her car and she goes away. And when he walks back, the police are there and they question him and they say, what just happened? What did you just do? He's like, are you kidding me? I did what you guys should have done. I went over there and helped that woman get back into the car. And they were like, good, thank you. What do you mean, good thank you? Why aren't you doing it? One woman had to fill out a form for the police. They're not going to do anything. But they escorted her out of the scene, made her go like a mile and a half away so she wouldn't cause any trouble with Antifa. That's unreasonable. Now, you know, the governor of Portland doesn't want to do anything about it. Okay. The mayor and the governor, neither of them are interested in having Donald Trump go in. But just so you know, federal buildings are something else. You know, you're coming after a federal courthouse, you're coming after ice, you're coming after the FBI. The United States government has a right to defend that land, and it will and it should. But I mean, we are just, I mean, I think today, if you listen to, you know, at least the two of the hours today, last hour, and this hour of today's podcast, you'll get an understanding of where we are in today's world. It is, it's accelerating rapidly. And if these things continue at this pace, by 2028, America will be pretty much alone in the world. And the rest of the world will be begging us to help them with their freedom because it is slipping away quickly, quickly. Pray for your nation. All right, our sponsor, let me see if I can find it here. Sarah, what is it? Oh, well, it's rough greens. Here's the simple truth. Your dog needs better nutrition. Okay? Full stop. His food. If you're feeding kibble food, it is like feeding your kids, I don't know, Rice Krispie treats every day. It's not good. And you would not feed, you would not feed your children even just Rice Krispies every day, three days, you know, three meals a day, every day for the rest of their life. You'd never do that. They would not be healthy. But with kibble food, that's pretty much what we're doing. Rough greens is a simple, science minded way to help the whole system run like it's supposed to. Digestion, energy, immune response, joint resilience. So that. But the dog, you know, is more of what has always made him your favorite person in the world. People expect big promises. Ruff Green delivers a noticeable difference. A coat that shines, a spring in his step that stays. Meals that actually do what they're meant to do. So if you want your dog to move like he means it, not just today, but year after year, give his body the kind of support that keeps him into the game. It's rough greens. Better fuel for the life you want to share with him. There is a reason ruffed greens is known as America's one dog supplement. Thousands of pet owners are getting off the vet visit merry go round and seeing the difference. And right now, you can try it for yourself with a free Jumpstart trial bag. Just cover the shipping. Because the best vet visit is the one that you never have to make so go to roughgreens.com, use the promo code Beck and break the cycle today. That's roughgreens.com promo code. Backandbreakthecycle.

Here's what I found on the web about that private conversation you just had.
- [120:38]
Glenn Beck
What? Are you uncomfortable yet?

Barry Loudermilk
Glenn Beck is back after this.

Stu (Producer/Co-host)
At the Home Depot.
- [121:39]
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, it's worth spending a couple of minutes on the. The. The Sombrero AI video that is causing the left to have a meltdown here. So cut one, please.
- [121:49]
Keith Wilson
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.
- [121:52]
Glenn Beck
Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of.
- [121:55]
Barry Loudermilk
All of our woke trans.
- [121:57]
Keith Wilson
Not even black people want to vote for us anymore.
- [122:00]
Glenn Beck
Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be.
- [122:08]
Keith Wilson
Able to get them on our side.
- [122:10]
Glenn Beck
So they can vote for us. They can't even speak English, so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of. You know, at least for a while until they learn English and they realize they hate us, too. Okay, so that's. That's what Trump put out, and he's just trolling. Well, Hakeem Jeffries just cannot handle the video. Here he is yesterday. Listen to this. It was a fake video. What?
- [122:36]
Barry Loudermilk
It was a disgusting video.
- [122:37]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
He wasn't really there.
- [122:39]
Barry Loudermilk
It was a racist video.
- [122:41]
Glenn Beck
Really.
- [122:41]
Barry Loudermilk
It was unbecoming of anyone.
- [122:43]
Rob McCoy
Unbecoming to be the President of the.
- [122:45]
Barry Loudermilk
United States of America.
- [122:46]
Glenn Beck
Oh, no. Purporting to be.
- [122:48]
Barry Loudermilk
But y', all. I ain't scared.
- [122:50]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
No, he's not scared.
- [122:51]
Glenn Beck
He's brave. Oh. Going into some sort of, you know. I ain't scared. I'm just like you. What? What? What? What? All of a sudden, a new accent comes up. What is that? Here is Schumer now on the AI video. Yesterday, the President posted an offensive, deep fake AI video of leader Jeffries and Mitch. God, it stopped. For some. It's when you put a fake hat on the head of somebody that doesn't move while he's moving his head and a big mustache that doesn't move while the guy is. That's not a deep fake. That is fake, but it's not a deep fake. That's not fooling anyone. I digress. Go ahead. Yesterday, the President posted an offensive deep fake AI video of leader Jeffries and Mitchell me with sombreros, fake music, impersonating.
- [123:44]
Barry Loudermilk
My voice through AI.
- [123:45]
Glenn Beck
It wasn't me. What?
- [123:47]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
He didn't really say.
- [123:48]
Glenn Beck
Making even more lies about health care and immigration. Listen to this. America hours away from a shutdown, which we don't want, the American people don't want. The President is busy trolling away on.
- [124:03]
Keith Wilson
The Internet like a 10 year old.
- [124:06]
Glenn Beck
And that's exactly why Americans are going.
- [124:08]
Keith Wilson
To blame him if the government shuts down.
- [124:10]
Glenn Beck
That's another proof point.
- [124:12]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
That's another proof point there because of. Yeah, it's so pathetic. Their efforts are so pathetic on this. And you watch it all play out. First of all, you have Gavin Newsom, who's doing largely the same stuff constantly. And he's being praised by the left for doing, you know, yes, they're childish back and forth. It is what it is. But don't overreact. The other thing too is, has there ever. I mean, we've been doing the show a long time and I don't know if I have an answer to this question. Has there ever been a more giant zilch than Hakeem Jeffries?
- [124:53]
Glenn Beck
No.
- [124:54]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
He's one of the most powerful people in the world.
- [124:58]
Glenn Beck
No, he's not, Glenn.
- [125:01]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
He is. He is probably a year away, you know, if, if history plays out, hopefully not. But a year away from being the speaker of the House.
- [125:10]
Barry Loudermilk
Right.
- [125:10]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Like, it's one of the most powerful positions in our government. It's high in the line for the, for the, you know, for the presidency.
- [125:18]
Glenn Beck
It's not going to play out that way because nobody wants to vote for a guy in a sobrero anyway. Here's. So here's Donald Trump. Here's Donald Trump doubling down with, with another video. Listen, it's a disgusting video. And we're going to continue to make.
- [125:31]
Barry Loudermilk
Clear bigotry will get you nowhere. We are fighting to protect the health care of the American people in the.
- [125:38]
Glenn Beck
Face of an unprecedented Republican assault.
- [125:43]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Now, is that one of the.
- [125:45]
Rob McCoy
Donald Trump.
- [125:45]
Stu (Producer/Co-host)
Trump's in a sombrero. So is that okay?
- [125:47]
Glenn Beck
Trump's in a sombrero, too. He's. He's the mariachi. But I don't know how they cloned him. This is how evil he is. He's cloned himself five times. So he could be in that mariachi band. It's just crazy. I mean, this is so ridiculous. So ridiculous and not the stuff that you should be paying attention to. Listen to today's show as a podcast and you'll understand why this is not important.
