This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Well, the tsunami has come and gone and luckily no real damage has been done by the tsunami or the earthquake. Sixth largest on record, happened last night. Pretty terrifying, you know, when you thought of all of the things that could go wrong. But they didn't go wrong. Thank God everything worked and everybody is generally safe today. But, you know, that's coming from me and from Stu. We're both possibly white, so take that with a grain of salt. All right, we're gonna get to the program. I, I have a, a disturbing story about what's happening to the youth. Coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. He was eating a sandwich, sitting on a bench, just talking to his friend about school. And then the sirens started. She was making lunch, humming to herself as she stood in the kitchen. But suddenly she was dragging her kids into a shelter again. They were ordinary moments until they weren't in Israel. That's just life. That's the way it goes. And even though there's a ceasefire, the fear is still very, very loud. The damage is fresh and the need is still overwhelming. We're gonna get into what's happening with the world. I'm telling you, the press is worse than it's ever been. Wait until you hear what's going on today. Anyway, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is still there. As the world looks away, they move closer. When others move in or move on, they move in with food, medicine, clothing, comfort. For the mom who lost her husband in uniform, for the elderly man who can't get to the store but still needs to eat. For all of them, the fellowship isn't just responding to war. They're responding to people left in its wake. People God still loves, people we can still help. Because peace isn't just about stopping the fighting. It's about who starts showing up. Learn more about IFCJ and their life saving work by going online to IFCJ ifcj.org that's ifcj.org great story in place media today. When Donald Trump's strongest voting block starts to fall off after six months of a largely successful second term, it's time for some soul searching. Not just because the midterms loom or because 2028 is already on the horizon, but the demographic in question. Young men will shape, defend and lead this country well beyond the next election. If they've grown too cynical to bother, the rest of us are going to be left holding the bag when the past and the present betray a generation. Expect that generation to reshape the future. Today's young men are angrier, more cynical, more disruptive and more serious. They don't want to save Social Security, they want to be saved from it. They aren't starting out wide eyed like the boomers. They didn't get the luxury of being idealist first and realist later. They started with realism, forged by debt, disillusionment and betrayal. These young men want a way of life back. They want accountability for the people who stole it from them. This is something we have been talking about on this program. If we do not hold people accountable, we are in deep trouble. You lose the Republic. The average 25 year old white male is already more based than his Republican voting grandfather ever was or could be. And he's not finding any comfort in Fox News. So the question is, will anyone offer him a white pill before he plants the flag of I just don't care anymore at the 50 yard line of American life? This generation will not follow unless they're given a mission worth sacrificing for. Trump's brand won't carry them forever. They can't afford homes, they can't find wives who aren't steeped in feminist dogma. They can't compete in a DEI rigged job market. And now they're expected to watch the people who ruined their future skate without any consequence. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. Young men don't just want slogans. They want justice. They want our leaders to treat domestic traitors at least as ruthlessly as we've treated our allies in trade negotiations. They've seen enough memes. If the memes don't end in prison time, they'll see them as mockery. They want consequences and they wanted them handed out with severe prejudice. That's the instinct of men who have been cornered too long. Dread it. Dread it. Run from it, because it is coming. When the past and present betray a generation, expect that generation to restrain, reshape the future. Our shot at shaping that future is now. And if we fail, if we fail to hold the deep state accountable yet again, then we better produce an economic boom big enough to distract from the urge to burn everything down. We've convinced ourselves that soft, passive men defined the modern male. But sooner or later, the animal comes raging back and a new generation rises looking to settle old scores. You better get ready. That's from the Blaze today and it is an excellent piece, well written and spot on. So let Me talk directly to any young man who might be listening right now. Because I see this in my son. You have been lied to over and over and over again. Not once, not twice, but since the day you were born. You've been lied to. You were lied about. You were lied to about what it even means to be a man. Lied to about what's good. Lied to about truth itself. You have been told that masculinity is dangerous. And in some ways it is. I'll get into that in here a second. They told you it had to be tamed, medicated and deconstructed. They told you you can't follow your instincts. You can't. You're not here to protect or provide. You're not here to lead. You're told. Sit down, shut up. Memorize these dates and names that mean nothing in real life. You. And just follow the rules. Remember, this will be on the test. And these are the same rules that you watched break your parents. You watched them. You. You saw how your country and your and your future was hollowed out in bankruptcy. You know. You know what I mean. You saw the look on your father's face and in his eyes in 2008 when everything he worked for was just wiped out. You saw your mom do twice the work and still come short. And then somehow or another, they saved up enough to send you off to school. And they told you it was for an education because they believed that. But that wasn't an education. They were reprogramming you. They taught you how to protest, how to self diagnose, how to beg for safe spaces instead of building strength. They trained you for cubicles, for conveyor, conveyor belts, for. Not for mountains, not for missions, not for meaning. None of those came into play. And now people wonder why the youth is discouraged. Why the 20 somethings while the males are discouraged. Why they feel like just giving up. Why so many 20 somethings and teenagers are just checking out, kill themselves or kill others. I wonder why. I wonder why this society hasn't given them anything to live for. Nothing has meaning. Well, let me tell you the truth that they never will. You were born for something more. A lot more. And deep in your bones you know it. There has to be more than this. Because if this is all there is, what a colossal waste of time and energy. I wouldn't want it either. But here's the truth. The truth is you were born for a reason. You were made to push boundaries, to defend the weak, to build, to risk, to sweat, to suffer for something greater than Yourself. You know nothing in life worth having comes easy. And you have had that lie told you over and over again. Just do these things and you'll make it. No, no. Nothing is easy. They tell you that lie and then they encourage you to give up. Don't. You were made to take that fire in your chest and turn it into something, into purpose. And yes, they were right about one thing. Man is to be feared for a couple of reasons. There is a beast inside of you. Everybody has one. Men have a monster. It's a destructive force that rages when life seems unfair, when justice feels like a joke, when you're. When you're told to, taught to be powerless, to pretend that you're powerless. The world fears that part of you because when that beast is unleashed, especially on young men, the world knows what happens and it is not good. But here's the other reason they fear and they've hidden this truth. They fear you because they know if you figure out that that contained, that controlled, that shaped, is the most powerful thing on earth. You were not created to be a monster. You were created to master one. You weren't created to medicate that monster. You weren't. You weren't created to. To disavow that monster, to claim it doesn't exist. You were made to. You were made to tame that monster. I'm riddled with add. Riddled with add. If I were your age, they would have medicated me from the beginning. And I don't think I would be doing this job. I have. I don't even know. I have 1, 2, 5 screens in front of me, 6 screens, 7 screens in front of me, 8 screens in front of me. And I know what's on all of them. I can see them. And I can talk to you. And I can process that. I have somebody, once in a while, Sarah will speak into my ear and say, two minutes. I can do all of these things because I have add. It's a blessing. But if I were your age, they would have told me that was a curse. And I'll never make it unless I medicate. Don't medicate it. Conquer it, tame it. It's a strength. You don't suppress these things. You discipline these things. You make the things that are inside of you serve truth. That's what you do. Once that serves truth. That's what you have. That all of a sudden you're able to protect your future wife, your children, your neighbors. The kind of strength that under control separates tyrants from heroes. Don't believe the lies. That you're alone. Because you're not alone. You are part of an amazing brotherhood of men all across time that have felt the same call, the same call and the same pull both ways. But the ones who tamed that, the ones that understood, the ones that were allowed to be them, that were also told, you're not alone, you're not abnormal. This is normal in your life. But channel that. Those are the men that cross the oceans in wooden. In wooden boats. They were the ones that walked across the bloody beaches in Normandy. They were the men who picked up Dead Freds at Gettysburg and still charged forward. They're the men who looked up in the sky and said, I'm gonna go there. And then when they got there, they said, what's next? That's the blood of men that runs through your veins. And they were not monsters. They were not unbridled men. They were men. They were men. And you are that image, bearer of truth, that vessel of strength, that defender of civilization. You were made in the image of God. You are a literal son of God. And you are. You were born with glory and honor. Now, the question is, do you return at the end with glory and honor? But that is your birthright. And no professor, no bureaucrat, no algorithm can take any of that from you. So what now? What do you do now? Well, now you decide. And believe me, I've. I'm an alcoholic. My mother committed suicide when I was young. I almost committed suicide. I've had suicides in my family. I've been there. I have absolutely been there and back and then back there and then back. It's hard. And I remember, I thought, okay, I'm deciding. I'm not going to drink anymore. And I am not going to end my life the way my mom did. And I made that decision on my knees, down on the floor. I mean, I know exactly where I was in the room. I remember the smell of the room. I remember everything about it. But I also remember when I made that decision, I got back up. And that night I went to bed. And the next morning, I still felt like dog crap, even though I made the decision. And it took years of holding on to that decision and deciding the same thing every day. You have two roads in front of you right now. One leads to despair. Quiet, maybe comfortable, but death. And that lets the world define you. That lets fear run your life. That's you becoming passive, bitter and numb. I've been down that road. That is not good. That's the dangerous one, to some degree. The other road is Also dangerous, but not in the same way. Because this one, the road is steep, it's very lonely at time, but it leads to some place. I every time I meet a new alcoholic, somebody who has just started to give up alcohol and surrender their life and say, I just, I'm more than this, I don't want this in my life anymore. I tell them the same thing every time. Keep going. It is so worth it. And let me explain that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Ever had a roommate who just won't leave? The kind of moves into your spare room for a couple of weeks, you know, and then months later they're still there. That's what pain does, it moves in. Little tightness in the knee, stiff shoulder, maybe a sore back or whatever. At first you think I just need a day or two recover, and then it's been three months and still the pain is ruining your life. I know pain quite well. I was probably 30 and I fell out of a two story window. I was doing renovations in a house and I fell out of a two story window and I was lucky to live. But my gosh, it's just never stopped. Never stopped since then. Relief factor helps me get through those days. It's designed to target the inflammation that causes most of the aches and pains. It's a drug free daily supplement that helps your body do what it was do, fight back. No masking, no symptoms, no patches or pills that, that all wears off. This is consistent natural support to help you feel better, move better and live better. And so many Americans have tried it and most of them keep going with it because it works. Once that pain is out of your house, you'll do everything to keep it out. You can give their three week quick start a try, a try right now for 1995. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800, the number 4 relief 10 seconds. So the second road leads to someplace really worth going. If you take that road, you reclaim your manhood, you reclaim your life, you take all ownership, you stop waiting for somebody to rescue you, you stop blaming things on everybody else and you just start taking responsibility and you build the kind of future, the future that you want your sons to inherit. But it takes like everything else, an awful lot of self education, an awful lot of self discipline. You train for it, you stay humble, you stay grounded in truth, you build real friendships, you love fiercely. And you do the hard thing, especially when no one else is watching. Because hear me, the world will not get better until you do. But you are not defined by your past. You're not defined by the things that restrain you. You're. You're not defined by your obstacles. You're not limited by your pain. You're not doomed by the system you were born into. You are capable of unbelievable greatness, of leading and discovering, of healing and rebuilding all the things that others have destroyed. That's your job. You can be the generation that finds the key to freedom again, not just politically, but spiritually, personally, culturally. You are the generation that are going to be the first people to walk on Mars. You will break chains that you don't even recognize right now. You are going to love well. You are going to have unbelievable sons and daughters. You're going to fight justly. You're going to build wisely. You're going to leave this place better than you found it, better than anything my generation could have done. So rise up as a man. The time for boyhood has passed. The time of blame is past. The time to rise up as a man is right now. Stand up and stand like a man. And having done everything you can recognize tomorrow still might suck a little bit. But when you finally get there, it was so worth the fight. And it's still worth the fight. All you have to do is stand back in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the program. Lot of comments on the opening monologue Jordan said. How did you know what I needed to hear? Thank you for sharing this, Glenn. Connecticut. It's not just young men. This has been happening for a couple of decades. How did the politicians get away with this for so long? It's not just the politicians. It's all of us. It is all of us. Che. The younger generations were sacrificed for the elder elderly rather than the opposite. Yes, and not the elderly. When you think of elderly. Not that. Not that. Uh, Tammy, there are parents who have raised faith filled kids. We were helicopter parents and we homeschooled. Don't let your kids be your friends. Discipline. Susie. Finally, Glenn's doing a show that matters. I don't. Okay. I mean, I try every. Nathan, the human brain can perform seven tasks at one time. That's not add. That's God's creation. Pat, where I work, they've hired many 20 somethings. They all want to work virtual, no work ethic. They've been brainwashed by the left. These kids have been pampered by society and I'm tired of babying them. I want to tell him to grow up and work. Probably not the way to do it, Pat, but boy, I can relate. Mrs. Jones, I'm so grateful that you chose to be who you are. Thank you, Glenn. Prue, I like the statement, stop waiting for someone to rescue you. I know too many that want me to rescue them. I bet that is true. Is that true with women? Sarah, when you. You meet men you're dating, do they. Are they looking to you to rescue them or.
- [27:01]
Sarah Gonzalez
All the time. All the time. I mean, you hit it spot on. I'm more masculine than half the men I've dated lately, which is really sad.
- [27:10]
Glenn Beck
Or says something about you because you frighten the crap out of me. And do really.
- [27:14]
Stu Burguiere
You do beat up people around the offices at times.
- [27:17]
Sarah Gonzalez
That doesn't mean it's masculine.
- [27:18]
Glenn Beck
What does that mean? That they're more. They're. You're more masculine than them.
- [27:24]
Sarah Gonzalez
Like, I have a career, I have to take care of my kids. And to them it's like, let's go have fun. It's still very much like in the college World, you know, when these people are 40, 50, like, it's time to grow up. You nailed it.
- [27:37]
Glenn Beck
I think that is the biggest problem. I mean, I. My son is, you know, living on his own now, working, going to school, and there are times that he will call me and, you know, Tanya was like, don't you think you're getting a little tough on him? I'm like, no, it is time to be tough. It is time to be tough. There are things that you have to say to your children and especially your sons. It's up to you now. You got to do it, and you got to do it, and there's not going to be anybody that rescues you. And. And he's lonely, unfortunately, now. And I feel for him because I remember those days being so. So lonely. But I told him, I said, son, concentrate on you. Build you. Find your goals, pursue your goals, climb mountains, do whatever it is. Women will be attracted to men who know who they are and know where they're going, even if they're not successful. But they. They know who they are, and they have goals that they're trying to accomplish. I think. I think real men, the world is your oyster right now is the time for real men. Because women. Real women are so sick and tired of these pansies. These guys were like, you know, I don't know. And, you know, and the ones that refute that are Peter Pan refuse to grow up. It's time to grow up. It's time to grow up. And that's hard, but it's got to be said, got to be done. Has to be.
- [29:12]
Stu Burguiere
I have several written pages of questions about Sarah's dating life. We'll get back to later. But I do, too. I do, too.
- [29:18]
Glenn Beck
I would love to talk to the men.
- [29:21]
Stu Burguiere
That's a whole great series of podcasts.
- [29:23]
Glenn Beck
That's a series that would be great.
- [29:26]
Stu Burguiere
Wow.
- [29:26]
Glenn Beck
Just.
- [29:26]
Stu Burguiere
If you could just try. Get their names, we'll get that started.
- [29:29]
Glenn Beck
I dated Sarah once.
- [29:35]
Stu Burguiere
You brought up something to me off the air the other day, which I thought was interesting and probably leads into what you're saying here, which is, do we start. Certainly 26 is a bad time to start saying, hey, adulthood's about to begin, right? But you were saying really early 13, like, 12. 13 years old. There should be more of that going on. What do you mean?
- [30:01]
Glenn Beck
I don't. I don't know how to balance this. I mean, I am. This is not. Obviously my. My. This is not what I studied or anything else. I'm just a guy that tried to be a good Parent. I gave my kids, you know, what I thought was best and did what I thought was best. And I think we pampered way too much. We. And I tried to teach them, you know, the lessons you need to learn. And a lot of it they did. They're really good kids. They did. But I wish I would have gotten them out into the world. Working earlier, much, much earlier, like working.
- [30:41]
Stu Burguiere
Like some sort of responsibility.
- [30:44]
Glenn Beck
Clean tables, go clean table, have some responsibility beyond just, you know, mow the lawn, clean your room, you know, and this comes from me. And look, I am a deeply screwed up guy on parenting and children and everything else because I learned from a dad who worked all the time. But that's what made me me in many ways. On all the good things. I understood work ethic to some degree. I still don't want to go out and dig ditches, but if I had to, I would. I mean, when Tanya met me, I was a total loser. Recovering alcoholic, three kids or two kids, divorced. I mean, I could stop there, but had no real future in radio. I thought it was all over. I was thinking about becoming a chef, going back to culinary school and becoming.
- [31:43]
Stu Burguiere
You remember these days I can fact check all of this. All accurate.
- [31:47]
Glenn Beck
So, you know, and I told Tanya when, you know, we were thinking about getting married, I said, look, I could be a garbage collector, you know, in a year, I don't know what I'm going to be doing, but if I'm a garbage, correct collector, I'll be the best garbage man you've ever met. And none of the stuff that she experiences in life now, what means anything to her really. She married me when I was. I mean, I wouldn't have married me. Loser. Not a chance of real success. Very low chance.
- [32:18]
Stu Burguiere
Another fact check.
- [32:19]
Glenn Beck
True. Thank you. No, but seriously, very low chance of success, don't you think?
- [32:25]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. What you're saying, I think is true. Certainly from her perspective, from her definitely seen that, you know, I think like, you know, you were a talented guy. You were like a trouble talented athlete at the time, right? Like you were like, you know, again, not many comparisons with you and athletes, but like that, that's that wide receiver who like you could tell should be something but kind of isn't.
- [32:49]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, but then what. But what happened is when I asked her to marry me, I knew that I knew. God, I knew that I had to completely surrender to him that that was truth. No matter what it was he was going to tell me to do, I would do it. And if that meant I was successful in Life or not successful, I should say in business or not successful in business, it didn't matter. I would be successful in life with my family. If I followed him, that was probably the biggest key. And the other was, she knew I had drive in me.
- [33:26]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [33:26]
Glenn Beck
She knew that whatever it was I was going to do, I would give my all to it. You know, it's what I saw in my daughter's eyes when she was on stage just this last weekend. I watched her and there wasn't one second of missed focus. I watched her the entire time. Even when she watched wasn't. She was in the background or whatever. I was watching her the whole time. Not a second of lost focus. That is real drive. That's what makes success. Are you giving it 100%? And I mean 100%, not just while you're on stage or in front of people, but to get there. Have you done that kind of thinking and that kind of work to get to the stage? Whatever it may be, when you have that, women see that, people admire that. As long as you're not. I mean, you have to have some, you know, outside interest in life. And it can't. You can't be a monster about it. My first half of my life, I was a monster about that because I've always had that drive, but it was misplaced because I didn't couple it with God. You know, it's. I'm an all or nothing guy, which is why I'm an alcoholic, but also why I'm successful.
- [34:50]
Stu Burguiere
You were one of the best alcoholics.
- [34:51]
Glenn Beck
I was.
- [34:52]
Stu Burguiere
You weren't just trying it on for size? No. You went all in.
- [34:55]
Glenn Beck
I went all in.
- [34:56]
Stu Burguiere
For years, yes.
- [34:57]
Glenn Beck
You told that liver to go to hell. I don't care if I lose my liver and my family. I'm the best drunk out there. I love you so much, man. Yeah.
- [35:09]
Stu Burguiere
You went all in.
- [35:10]
Glenn Beck
I went all in. Yeah.
- [35:11]
Stu Burguiere
And that's so not always a good characteristic. But if you get started early and you start thinking about that drive and start thinking about that work ethic and, And I. It gets instilled in you.
- [35:21]
Glenn Beck
I ref. I. I feel bad for my son right now because he is just like I was when I was his age. And that is. You'll do it, you'll do it, you'll do it. And then you'll be like, this isn't going to work. And you give up for a while and then you get lost. And then you're like, no, what am I doing? Do it, do it, do it. And it's Hard to master that. I mean, I was just talking to him this weekend, and I'm like, son, you just got to keep going. Just keep going. That's why I said a minute ago, you know, you. When I gave. When I finally surrendered, and I'm like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get up, and I'm going to do it. The next day sucked as much as the day was. That put me on the floor and my knees. It sucked and it sucked for a long time. But if you keep doing it, all of a sudden doors start to open, things start to happen, and your whole life changes. My dad said to me once, you know, he's. We should. Maybe I'll. I don't have time to tell this story. Would you write this down? Just write down what my dad said at the stoplight, and I'll remember that, and I'll.

We were just talking off air about, you know, what we've been talking about and men and boys and how we just need to change the trajectory or we're just going to spiral into an abyss. And one of the things Sarah just brought up was about COVID and how Covid changed all of us.
- [40:41]
Sarah Gonzalez
I think a lot of what men are going through with this lack of character has something to do as a tragedy of COVID because everyone was just so in their own little world. And they didn't have to do what you have to do. And I think it's important that you might not want to take a girl out on a date. You just want to have sex with them, but you kind of have to do what you don't want to do.
- [41:03]
Stu Burguiere
I put in the 15 minutes at Hardee's.
- [41:05]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [41:06]
Stu Burguiere
To get. If you want to get them in bed, you take them to Arby's. Yeah. Get them or drive through here.
- [41:11]
Glenn Beck
What do you want? Yeah, what do you want?
- [41:12]
Stu Burguiere
Get them a shake.
- [41:13]
Glenn Beck
There's a burger and a shake. Now eat it quickly, because we're gonna have sex.
- [41:18]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [41:19]
Glenn Beck
That's what you're looking for. That kind of.
- [41:20]
Sarah Gonzalez
But also, there's not really social interaction. Everybody could just sit at home and text on their phone or have a conversation.
- [41:27]
Glenn Beck
That one is a real problem. That one is a real problem. And I think it's going to fix itself eventually. But I don't suggest you wait for it, you know, because when it does start to fix, it's going to be such a massive problem, and it'll scoop up the majority of people. They're just going to fall into it. They won't know how to relate to anybody else. And then machines will be relating to you. And your conversations will be with machines. And, you know, there is human contact and human touch is so important. You know, looking into somebody's eyes is. That's why you don't find meaning. Because I think. Because there's no downside. You can say whatever you want. You can be rejected, and you don't have to sit there in that uncomfortable moment of rejection. That was really excruciating. You know, going and approaching somebody that you, you know, you want to ask out or whatever, and them just looking at you like, I don't think so, was horrible. Horrible. But now you can do it and say it and blow it off, and there's no emotional consequence or exhilaration.
- [42:43]
Stu Burguiere
Right. Those are basically guardrails of life, Right?
- [42:47]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [42:47]
Stu Burguiere
You keep bumping into them, and it kind of sends you back toward the middle of the road. So you understand what you should be doing. That's how you learn. And I will. You know, that's probably what it's like now. I mean, I can't. God, I do feel for. You know, I've been making jokes, but, like, I feel for the dating world. I can't even imagine doing it in this world right now. I mean, like, it seems incomprehensible to me.
- [43:08]
Glenn Beck
Awful.
- [43:09]
Stu Burguiere
So, you know, your life sucks, Sarah. But What I'm saying basically, is, you.
- [43:13]
Glenn Beck
Know, and what's weird is the youth. They think that it is so much better than. They can't even imagine the way we used to date, and we had to go approach somebody and ask them in real life, they can't even imagine that. But believe it or not, yes, that's messier, it's uglier. But that's what gives it meaning. You know, life only has meaning when you are conquering something. When you have earned that moment, you know, read Viktor Frankl's what Is It? Man's Search for Meaning. That is, if you've never read that, you need to read that. It is. It's remarkable, and it's what we're missing in our society. This is Glenn. Becky.

You know, when I. I knew Uno was at the end, before we had to put him down, was his tail used to thump on the ground. He'd lay on the. And you just look at him and his tail would thump on the ground. And when that stopped, it was sad. It was sad. However, that could stop too early for your dog if you haven't been.

Should we start with the New York Times and their deep, deep apology?
- [47:22]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, they meant it. I'll tell you that. They meant it. Now, we've been talking about this story for certainly both this days, this week, but maybe, I don't know, was it a little bit last week about some of the bizarre stories coming out of Gaza as far as the famine is going in Gaza now, you know there's a deep famine in Gaza. We'll get to that in a minute and the details on it. But some of the kids that were supposedly suffering from starvation seemed to have other serious ailments that caused their appearance to look like they were starving. And we, one of the things, first things we noticed was, hey, like, it seems like the other members of their family don't look this way. Why, like, why wouldn't, why wouldn't mom also look starving? Why wouldn't, you know, brother and sister look like they're starving? And we asked that question. We eventually did find out the answer to that, which was several of these children had significant other ailments that they were dealing with. And that's the reason their appearance looked this way. So they were utilizing kids with like cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy to make it seem like they were starving to death. When that was, at least in those cases was not true. That does not mean there was no starvation going on in Gaza.
- [48:43]
Glenn Beck
We talked about that yesterday. Of course there is. It's a war zone. Of course there is hunger and maybe even starvation. And anything that can be done to stop that needs to happen. Anything.
- [48:55]
Stu Burguiere
And we talked about how it's bizarre because October 7th was 2023. And obviously as soon as October 8th hit, we all knew it was the Jews fault. And once that started, we went down this Road of constantly here. I mean, remember, they're building floating piers in Gaza to deliver aid, which cost us godly amount of money and did nothing. There were reports all over the place of aid being stolen by Hamas. To this day. To this day, the warehouses that store food for Hamas fighters are fully stocked to this day. It's a weird kind of famine, I will say that, but apparently that's what's going on. But there's always been talk about aid not arriving. It's been kind of the biggest debate outside of the basics of it, the hostages being kept and such. So why all of a sudden are we hearing this in the last couple of weeks? Part of the explanation for that is that Israel tightened down some of the incoming aid. This is the reports that were coming into the area largely because Hamas did not live up to their end of the ceasefire. They were supposed to be giving up these hostages. They did not do so. They are still, to this day holding hostages. Could still end this tomorrow by returning them, but they have decided not to do that. So times have gotten very difficult in Gaza. We're not denying that, but you should be able to report on what's actually occurring. Some of these kids have been airlifted out by Israel to Italy for treatment for these ailments.
- [50:40]
Glenn Beck
I've not heard that anywhere stuff.
- [50:42]
Stu Burguiere
Well, I mean, you should have.
- [50:44]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know. I mean, I have, but most people have not heard that anywhere, so. Anywhere.
- [50:49]
Stu Burguiere
The New York Times was heavy on this. They were. They made a big deal about all of this and highlighting these kids specifically. Yesterday they came out and posted a. I wouldn't call it an apology. No, I wouldn't call it a correction. They don't call it an apology or a correction either. They call it an editor's note.
- [51:10]
Glenn Beck
Okay. So I want you to. I want you to know in this, they talk about how there are. There is malnutrition and starvation going on, but they do not go to famine, which is. Everybody is saying it's a famine.
- [51:26]
Stu Burguiere
Yes.
- [51:26]
Glenn Beck
Okay. There's a difference between malf nutrition and starving. And I do not deny that that is happening. But famine is entirely different. Entirely different. But here's what they. The spokesperson for the New York Times posted, children in Gaza are malnutritious and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza's most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have Updated our story to add context about his preexisting health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Situation. They. That was not posted on the front page of the New York Times. That wasn't even posted in the correction area of the New York Times. That's not to be found in the New York Times on their. On their, you know, their Twitter feed or anything else that's found on the New York Times PR Twitter feed. So they didn't even put it on the main New York Times, which has what, 5 million 55, 55 million followers. They want to make sure that you understand that that picture is misleading. They don't put it where you saw the picture, where 55 million people are. Are witnessing that picture. Instead, they put it on the. At New York Times pr, which has how many followers at the time?
- [53:05]
Stu Burguiere
It was about 50,000. I think it's a higher now because people are reacting to the story.
- [53:09]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [53:10]
Stu Burguiere
And following it. But it was about 50,000 followers. Why would they do that? Why? Because, of course, they don't actually care and want people. And I can give you more. Want people to know what's going on. I give you more evidence on that front as well. So this is how they actually wrote it up in the story back in the day. And this is important to know because, like, when you go through this, they are. They don't even mention, this is the updated story. This is where we are today, right now. Muhammad was diagnosed with severe malnutrition by the Friends of the Patient Clinic Children's Hospital, she said, but there was little they could do on a recent visit to the clinic, she said, they told me his treatment is food and water. That's how they presented that story. Now, this is a person. I think this is the child. I could be wrong, but I think this is the one with cystic fibrosis.
- [54:06]
Glenn Beck
Yes.
- [54:06]
Stu Burguiere
Very serious ailment. Now, they don't add in there. That's the point. You would write that in the story.
- [54:14]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [54:15]
Stu Burguiere
The child is also affected with this, which adds to their appearance. We've amended the article to Baltimore.
- [54:21]
Glenn Beck
Correct.
- [54:21]
Stu Burguiere
They don't put it there. At the very, very end. They do add an editor's note. Now you read the editor's note. That's not what they posted in the article.
- [54:30]
Glenn Beck
Wait, they didn't.
- [54:31]
Stu Burguiere
They did not post that in the article.
- [54:32]
Glenn Beck
Because that wasn't even complete.
- [54:33]
Stu Burguiere
No, that wasn't even close to complete what they posted in the article at the very end. Editor's note. This article has been updated to include information about Mohammed Zakaria al Matawak, a child in Gaza suffering from severe malnutrition. After publication of the article, the Times learned from his doctor that Muhammad also had pre existing health problems.
- [54:54]
Glenn Beck
Well, that doesn't say anything.
- [54:58]
Stu Burguiere
No, that's terrible. That's terrible. Someone trying to hide what they did and still trying to not to admit what's actually going on. You know, I don't know. Does anybody go to the New York Times for the actual truth about this situation? Maybe not, you know, maybe, I don't.
- [55:14]
Glenn Beck
Know, maybe 30% or 40% of the country. And every journalist in America.
- [55:18]
Stu Burguiere
Certainly every journalist in America. And that is part of it. Like, I think there really are people getting convinced over this stuff. And I don't know if it's because of a New York Times report or it's more like just TikTok, the Chinese Communist Party, which by the way, is actually not legally allowed to operate in this country. We just keep letting it point that out real quick that we do not follow the laws of the United States. And that is whether you like that rule or not. It was banned by the Congress and signed by the President is the current law of the land, but we're just ignoring that anyway. The Chinese Communist Party is just outlining all this stuff on TikTok and promoting everybody who's making these claims about Gaza to the point that I've seen, you know, some, you know, rando social media people with large followings that don't do politics that are like, you know, I just wanted to bring this up. I mean, sure, I don't follow politics much, but shouldn't we all be able to agree that kids should, shouldn't starve, babies shouldn't be starving? Shouldn't we, you know, certainly, yeah, we should. That's a pretty easy one to agree on. I mean, you might want to ask Hamas about it. You know, I think I remember the post from these people saying, you know, you know, shouldn't we all agree that kids shouldn't be beheaded in a music festival? Shouldn't we all agree that teenagers shouldn't be had their heads chopped off and raped in the middle of a park?
- [56:35]
Glenn Beck
Shouldn't we all agree.
- [56:37]
Stu Burguiere
I don't remember any of those posts. Those posts never popped up. Probably because the Chinese Communist Party didn't prioritize people who were saying that at the time.
- [56:44]
Glenn Beck
Nor they didn't say it at the.
- [56:46]
Stu Burguiere
Time or they didn't say it at the time, Glenn. Which is actually worse.
- [56:49]
Glenn Beck
Here's what, here's some of the comments we got yesterday because we. We talked about. The solution to the famine is first, Hamas has to release the hostages. Stop this. Hamas. Not the Gazans. Hamas, stop this. You ready? You're a sick, evil man. Next. You've got to get off the bandwagon with Israel, brother. You're on the wrong side of history. Am I? This will not age well, Glenn, you're such a good goy.
- [57:16]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, get it?
- [57:17]
Glenn Beck
You realize babies cannot eat solids, you dumb f. That's why they starve first. You fake Christians are going to hell. Straight to hell.
- [57:25]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, the child in this was not a baby, by the way.
- [57:27]
Glenn Beck
Listen, you fat f. None of the people in Hamas custody are civilians. They are powder. This is way above your pay grade and your cognitive ability. Really? So the kids and the family members.
- [57:40]
Stu Burguiere
They'Re the American citizens. They're also prisoners of war.
- [57:43]
Glenn Beck
Wow, that's amazing. Talk about immigration and abortions. Leave this stuff for real. Journalists, Zionists. Like you need a massive mirror in front of your faces. 24. 7. Mossad is Hamas. 9. 11 wasn't Arabs either. Zionism is evil. I mean, that's. That's. That is. That's how much people have checked out on this thing.
- [58:04]
Stu Burguiere
Yes. They're gone.
- [58:05]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, they're totally gone on this. Now let me tell you a story that you probably haven't heard anywhere. Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have all now called for the Palestinian terror group to disband. They did this yesterday. This is the first time they have done so. They also condemned the October 7 terrorist attacks and told Hamas to give up all power. The first time Arab countries have condemned the group and demanded it play no part in the future. Governance. Governance of Palestine in context of ending the war in Gaza. Hamas. I'm reading from the telegraph. Hamas must end its rule in Gaza and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority with international engagement and support, in line with the objective of a sovereign and independent Palestinian state. France's foreign minister said the declaration was both historic and unprecedented. For the first time, Arab countries and those in the Middle east condemn Hamas, condemn October 7th, call for the disarmament of Hamas, call for its exclusion from any Palestinian government, and clearly express their intention to normalize relations with Israel in the future. You want to talk about the wrong side of history? Egypt is doing this. Hamas must never be rewarded for the monstrous attack of October 7th. It must immediately release the hostages, agree to an immediate ceasefire, accept that it will have no role in governing Gaza, and commit to disarmament. I don't know. That's pretty clear. That's a pretty amazing statement. While everybody else is talking about famine, which this is not famine. Don't throw that word around. It is hunger, maybe starvation, but not famine.
- [60:02]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, there's, I mean, famine has a definition. There's been four famines since the early 2000s. There's one in Somalia, 2011, South Sudan a couple times, and Darfur part, which is, you know, in that area as well, has had one. I think there's one other one maybe back in like the early 2000s, 2004. Ish. But like, you know, it's a high standard. The standard is this. 20% of households have an extreme lack of food. At least 20%, you have to hit all these standards, by the way. At least 30% of children six months to five years suffer from acute malnutrition based on a weight to height measurement. Or 15% of that age group suffer from acute malnutrition based on the circumference of their upper arm. So that's how, I mean, this is, this is, you know, it's a, it's a word with a definition which I know is against all Internet rules, but this is what this is. Now you can note how it would be difficult to go in and measure every child's arm inside of a war zone. Right. Some reports are that those two have been checked off in Gaza City in particular. Okay. But of course we don't know for sure because they can't check it.
- [61:15]
Glenn Beck
And I would rather, and I would rather err on the side of the believing that children are starving because that makes total sense. You're in a war zone now. Should we drop food? Yes, yes, we should drop food. The world should drop food. Why not? Why not? It's interesting though, what happens to that food once it's on the ground is a different story.
- [61:38]
Stu Burguiere
It's very fascinating to see, by the way, how Israel is responsible for all of this. You know, I don't know, maybe, maybe other people should be doing it. You know, Israel's always the one responsible for this. Like, I don't hear a lot of calls for the Russians to be dropping aid to Ukraine. Don't hear a lot about that. No one seems to be demanding it. No one seems to be all that worried about it. And by the way, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine.
- [62:02]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [62:02]
Stu Burguiere
It's the opposite of what happened in this situation.
- [62:05]
Glenn Beck
Hang on just a second. Let me tell you about burn a launcher. Life never unfolds exactly the way you plan. The meeting runs long, the fight flight gets canceled, the Weather does the opposite of what the app said. And the stranger at the door isn't just lost in those moments, the real unscripted ones. What matters most is what you have on hand. I have. I have pondered this a lot because I have a burner launcher. I carry a burner launcher and I've always carried a gun. But in real situations, unless my life or the life of my children is threatened, I don't know if I pull the gun. If I'm someplace and I'm seeing, you know, just a fight in the streets, I'll pull the burner launcher. Easy. Because it was made for those moments. And it's made to protect you in more ways than one. Not just from the aggressor, but also from the consequence of pulling a gun and shooting somebody and killing them. Especially if it's not clear. Especially in most states. Now, burner is legal in all 50 states. It's permit free. Powerful enough to stop a threat without taking a life. The compact gives you a non lethal defense option that is ready when you are. It's smaller than a Glock 19, easy to carry, easy to store. Loaded with pepper gas, tear gas and kinetic impact projectiles. If you are sending your child off to college, this is perfect for them to carry on a college campus, something goes down, some shooter comes up or whatever, they have it.

Stu Burguiere
How much time do we have, sir? Two minutes. Okay, so the third standard for famine. This is the most important one because it's much easier to measure. At least two people per 10,000 are dying daily due to the starvation or the interaction of malnutrition and disease. Now, thousands of people die by that definition in the United States every year. Of course, we have a much larger population. So what does that mean? What's going on? Well, we do know at least a high bar number on that because it comes from the Gaza Health Ministry. They claim one hundred and fifty people have died since the beginning of the war from starvation and malnutrition. 150.
- [64:40]
Glenn Beck
And that's not to be laughed at or dismissed.
- [64:42]
Stu Burguiere
Not at all. No. I mean it's serious. Every single one of them is serious. You don't want anyone to die from starvation or malnutrition. However, that's 150. Doesn't seem like a famine now. You might say it's more acute now. Which is their claim. There's a claim that the worst month of this was July, which we're currently finishing up. So far, 63 people have died this month. That is a rate of about 1/200th of the, of the famine standard. So I mean, again, the word gets thrown around like it's, like it makes sense. It doesn't.
- [65:20]
Glenn Beck
I just don't want to be in a position where I'm denying this because hunger and starvation is reality in war zones. But I would like an, I would like a rational conversation on this and one that honestly is equal and equitable to all situations like this. This is Glenn Beck. Ever try playing Jenga while standing in a swamp during a lightning storm? Blindfolded Strangers yell at you to concentrate? No.

Stu Burguiere
Three times.

Glenn Beck

Tonight on the Wednesday Night Special only on Blaze TV, the staggering rise of left wing violence since Trump returned to the White House. For years, the media and federal government have warned of this looming threat. We've talked about it for, for more than a decade. Right Wing militias, gun toting extremists, Trump supporters. You know, they were the ones on domestic terror lists. But now the script is flipping and no one seems to be bothered by it on the left or in the media. The fact is they're encouraging it in the name of resistance. The real explosion of political violence this year has not come from the right. Surprise, surprise, it has come from the radical Marxist infused left. The very groups that the mainstream media, academia and the Democratic leaders have been nurturing for years, that we have been warning about for years. The firebombings, the ICE ambushes, the political assassination attempts and, and assassinations, the arson attacks. The last eight months has seen a wave of left wing terror. Antifa cells, pro Hamas extremists, anarchist groups targeting law enforcement, ICE agents, Republican leaders, even innocent Jewish Americans. And the silence from the left speaks volumes. Tonight I'm going to put it out on the chalkboard. Some Democratic lawmakers are not just ignoring the violence, they're fueling it. This is not a protest, this is a campaign of chaos and we're at the beginning of it. Tonight I'll break all of this down. The rise of left wing violence. That's tonight at 9pm only on Blaze TV and YouTube.com Glenn Beck. Don't miss it.

Stu Burguiere
Do you have a segment in there determining if. I don't know if it's been covered already. But do we know if this particular murderer in New York is good looking enough for his murder to be justified? Do we know?
- [69:14]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, Donnie I think is still out of the country, so we haven't gotten a ruling yet.
- [69:18]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, okay. I'm curious. Cause I mean I know when you have abs, then your murders are praised and you get streets named after you. So I'm curious on this one. Is it only white kids that get that treatment? Is it, is that maybe that, is that the line that the left.
- [69:35]
Glenn Beck
Maybe that's it. Good looking white kids.
- [69:37]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, maybe it is that. Yeah, well we'll figure that out soon. I'm curious to know what, what murders are we're allowed to justify these days.
- [69:45]
Glenn Beck
So the mentally unwell. The guy who was stabbed, who stabbed 11 people at the Walmart in Michigan over the weekend. They. And it's going to. Now please sit down. This is going to come as a complete shock to you. He was mentally unstable. What? Mentally unstable? Yeah. And apparently his records, he's got a history of this with the police gone back decades.
- [70:10]
Stu Burguiere
You are kidding me.
- [70:11]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [70:12]
Stu Burguiere
It's interesting. I haven't heard a lot of coverage about how that stopped Any idea how that incident was?
- [70:18]
Glenn Beck
I believe it was with some fanatic with a gun.
- [70:21]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, gosh, another one of these gun toting maniacs again.
- [70:25]
Glenn Beck
I know. Now, Democratic appointed federal judges in Oregon are now refusing to jail suspects charged with violence at the ICE facility and an Elon Musk Tesla store. They decided the judge, Robert Jacob Hoops, is now released pending trial after he allegedly tried to ram his way into an ICE facility in Portland, injured an ICE officer's eye with a rock. The Department of Justice is not happy about this. Two other Oregon defendants accused of armed assaults on federal agents at a Tesla store were also giving supervised release despite the Trump administration's objections. Um, you know, but I mean, you don't want to teach people that this isn't effective. You don't want to teach people that, you know, they're, that they can't get away with this. That's the worst thing you could do. Uh, at least to leftists, this plays into what I'm talking about tonight when, when the judges refused to recognize this, when they refused to say, well, that's a real danger. You tried to set the whole Tesla thing on fire and you were, you were throwing rocks at people and injuring people, and you tried to jam your car into some of the people. You know, that's, that's a problem. And you shouldn't be out on the streets. I mean, even this, I mean, I'm not sure. And I think they go hand in hand. Mental illness and possession. I mean, we have people that are so dark now, so filled with darkness that it's an open invite to more darkness. And if you look at people, have you ever seen the videos of people where they're on the streets and, you know, it's just somebody saying, hey, I disagree with you. And the other person is like. And they're just screaming and they look like they're out of their mind. I think they're possessed. I think, I mean, there is something deeply disturbing about all of this. And we've told you for years, without knowing it, a large portion, in fact. You remember the show we did on Wall street, the Occupy Wall street, and how they were actually performing rituals that were rituals for Moloch and they, I'm not saying that they knew it, they were just doing it. They were doing the same ritualistic stuff that you used to do for Moloch worship. And, you know, we were talking about at the same time, you know, these people don't know, have any idea what they're doing, but they are inviting evil in. And you're seeing the results of it now. I don't know what. How much of it is mental illness. I don't know how much of it is just people gone wrong because they've been lied to or they're just built that way. And how much of it is just darkness that is around this whole movement. But we better figure this out and we better. You know, I don't understand. Well, I do. I do. You know, I did a monologue for young men earlier today and talked about how, you know, they're, they're being pushed down into this corner, being told that they're, they're nothing and they'll never make it. And, you know, they, they play by the rules and then they can't get jobs or, you know, they're all, they're just saddled with this debt. And the whole education system is a lie, by the way. Please, please reconsider sending your kids to college. Please. It's not just ideological, it is strapping them with debt. And those jobs, you don't have any idea what jobs are going to be here in three years. Remember when Joe Biden said, learn to code? That ain't a job anymore. Please, please. They're preparing for jobs that are going away. You're. I'm going to business. I'm going for business in accounting. Okay, hurry. I hope you're graduating soon because that's Gonna Last about 10 more minutes.
- [74:35]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I was listening to some podcasts and they were talking about, hey, like, this is the time to become a plumber. Because right now there's no chance, you know, why.
- [74:44]
Glenn Beck
Do you know why a plumber is good?
- [74:46]
Stu Burguiere
Well, I mean, the way they were talking about it was like, you know, AI doesn't have fingers, you know, to go into. Well, it's probably soon.
- [74:53]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. The reason why plumbers are good, and this is this, this will last, you know, maybe 20 years until AI catches up. And it will, but it's, it's not going to be something easily conquered by AI Plumbing. Have you ever opened up, have you ever remodeled a house? You pull down the walls and you never have any idea what you're going to find because people are like, I just going to put that there. And you're like, what? That doesn't make any. Why is that in that wall? Okay, I can build plumbing and assemble plumbing and things in new houses. It will be able to be done by robotics in new houses quickly. Yeah, but it cannot think and repair crazy ass plumbers who have done stuff for 100 years. And you're like, it makes no sense, Right? So it takes a human to understand a human and open that wall and go, okay, okay, I got it. I see what they're trying to do here and fix it in the way only a crazy human would fix it.
- [75:57]
Stu Burguiere
Hmm. That's interesting, because I think the thought process there is part of it. But, like, you know, I mentioned this. I was fixing something at my house recently, and I didn't know what I was doing, which is usually how these things begin. But now you really get to that point where you can just kind of open up. I just opened up the panel. It was like a automated gate type of thing that was opening and closing, and it wasn't working. I opened it up and just took a picture of it and said, this is what I have. What do I do? And AI just like, oh, you have this system. It looks like this thing is not working. You might want to connect this to this and try whatever it was. And it was easy for me to do. It would have been a trip from the guy who services whoever fixes the gate. And now that didn't happen anymore.
- [76:43]
Glenn Beck
But go in and try not to redo all the plumbing. Just say, I have to fix this. And I don't know what's behind the wall. There's no schematics. There's no way for them. Right. I don't have any of the original plans or builds for a while.
- [77:01]
Stu Burguiere
See, that wasn't.
- [77:02]
Glenn Beck
It will take a man to do it.
- [77:04]
Stu Burguiere
That wasn't the argument of this particular show I was listening to. It was, hey, like, they're not. AI can tell you how to fix that. Yes. A robot can theoretically do basic things, but, like, it doesn't have the control. The ha. Control.
- [77:19]
Glenn Beck
No, it doesn't have it yet. And it will.
- [77:21]
Stu Burguiere
It will eventually.
- [77:22]
Glenn Beck
But. But. So you're. You've got that right? You got that wave to ride, but that's going to change fast. You have that one, and then the next run is. It can't understand without schematics and everything else. It can't understand all of that yet, but it will do that too. But. So you have two waves to ride yet.
- [77:41]
Stu Burguiere
Right.
- [77:42]
Glenn Beck
And where. And I don't know why people are not interested in plumbing. You make a lot of money in plumbing. A lot.
- [77:52]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [77:52]
Glenn Beck
And you're going to deal with crap in other jobs too. So, I mean, it's not like I don't want to be around crap. Oh, you're around it. You're around it all the time. No matter what you're doing?
- [78:03]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. I mean, my stepbrother owns a business that does plumbing and he's done great with it. Like he built himself up from nothing and worked at another place and started his own thing. And he's done great because of and it. But it's a great industry to be in. I mean, you know, just like anything else, it's not for everybody. You know, people like to do different things. But like, those are the types of jobs that feel like they have more Runway.
- [78:26]
Glenn Beck
The jobs that don't have that have a very short Runway are the jobs that just require sitting at a desk and thinking. Right?
- [78:35]
Stu Burguiere
And like, that's gone.
- [78:36]
Glenn Beck
That's gone.
- [78:37]
Stu Burguiere
What they're doing now is taking these graduate levels, like where they would take like new graduates from law school and pluck them into these things. They'd hire a couple hundred of them.
- [78:48]
Glenn Beck
Let me just say law school, that's over anyway. Go ahead.
- [78:53]
Stu Burguiere
It's gonna be tough, man.
- [78:54]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's gonna be.
- [78:55]
Stu Burguiere
There's obviously human interactions that can be helped by humans, at least at the moment.
- [79:01]
Glenn Beck
But it doesn't take like it used to take a whole office to do, you know, to do research for law. It doesn't take that now, but it does take. Did you hear about the. Where were they? The judge that was issuing rulings and it was clearly AI and making up quotes and things from the trial that were never said. So the judge would go guilty and I releasing my, my judgment online later today. And it was making up testimony that wasn't even in the court. And the judge is like, okay, you caught me, I won't do it again. Well, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. And I don't know if we give you a second chance, in my opinion.
- [79:40]
Stu Burguiere
But I think the answer to that is no. But people who are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to these high level law schools are coming out. And instead of going into those entry level jobs, which are still good gigs, but they are basic jobs, these law firms are like, wow, we don't need people for that anymore. We just need AI to do that. I think it's going to reform relationships in the way they work too. Example of this from my life the other day. You have roles in your household, right? Like you do certain things. Everyone has a little role. Like, you know, someone, you handle this, you handle this like. And it just kind of develops over time. So our printer breaks now. Printers last approximately three days in my opinion. They just are terrible. They always break, they don't work they lose connection online.
- [80:28]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah.
- [80:28]
Stu Burguiere
So we have this situation where my printer is now telling me that my paper tray is not in the printer. The paper tray is in the printer. I'm seeing it. It's right there. I've even gone to the point a couple times to try to fix this. Yeah. I spent 15 minutes a couple times, I took a picture of the printer and I said, hey, this is telling me the stupid sensor, it's not. You know, the paper tray is not in. The paper tray is in. What's wrong with this? This is a very common problem with this printer. The sensor is broken. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, it gives me all this stuff. I haven't had time to fix it. Now, my wife, who buys one third of all products Amazon sells, returns approximately 20% of those products after she buys them. So she's constantly needing the printer to print out shipping return labels. So apparently my excitement level to fix this printer was not high enough, and I had not done it in a short enough amount of time. So my wife tells me she's now replaced the printer. She's now bought a new printer and sent it to the house. And I said, well, what do you mean? I haven't had a time to go through it or anything. And when we buy new printers, that's my job. My job is to look, to go through, read all the reviews, understand which one's actually the best one. That's my gig.
- [81:46]
Glenn Beck
She needed a printer.
- [81:47]
Stu Burguiere
She wanted the printer. She goes, oh, I just went on ChatGPT and asked that for what's the best printer?
- [81:53]
Glenn Beck
Printer.
- [81:53]
Stu Burguiere
And then she had it sent to the house.
- [81:55]
Glenn Beck
Now, you tell her. You tell.
- [81:55]
Stu Burguiere
I will say the heroic ending to the story is, I fixed the damn printer, and we're returning this new printer she ordered.
- [82:01]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And you tell her you enjoy your Friday night with ChatGPT, girly. All right, let me tell you about IFCJ. Picture this. A grandmother in Tel Aviv who lived through a war since she was a child, now huddled in a kitchen with her grandchildren. And she can hear the iron dome firing in the distance. She holds them close, whispering a prayer. Meanwhile, in a small apartment in Haifa, an elderly man is watching his last few coins slip through his fingers, trying to decide is he gonna pay for heat or for food this week. This is not just some news story. You scroll past. This is life for many people in Israel, and it's happening right now. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews isn't just a charity. It is a lifeline. And they're on the ground every day delivering food, medicine, emergency aid and hope to those who need it most. For families who have lost everything, for widows and the elderly who have nowhere else to turn. They show up time and time again because that's what we're called to do. Israel, fight your own war. I'm not involved in that, but I'm there to help and I'll help both sides as much as I can. But I know ifcj, they're there and your donation goes a great distance. They're putting faith into action. Learn more about IFCJ and their life saving work by going online to IFCJ.org that's IFCJ. Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in. More Glenn Beck coming up. I want to, I want to pursue and drill down just a little bit more on how useless Stu is as a man in his own household.
- [83:59]
Stu Burguiere
How much time do we have?
- [84:00]
Glenn Beck
Well, gosh darn it, we're out of time, but we have a full hour left in the program, so we'll pick it up.
- [84:05]
Stu Burguiere
Not gonna be enough.
- [84:06]
Glenn Beck
Pick it up there in just a minute. Thank you so much for listening. If you've missed any of the show, make sure you grab it podcast wherever you get your podcast. And@glennbeck.com this is Glenn, Becky, Sam. Down the road where shadows hide. Feel the dark on every side Stand your ground when times get dark Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Oh, do you ever, you ever think to yourself, is this even worth thinking about? Even worth thinking about? The GDP is up by 3% today. Our Fed makes the decision on whether they're going to raise interest rates or lower interest rates or keep them the same. Every bit of information that you see would say, well, now would be the time to lower the interest rates. However, I don't think that's gonna happen today. And Donald Trump has played tough and he's played really nice in the last few days. Will that make any difference at all? And what does it mean? We have so much to talk to you about. Give me 60 seconds where we're back. When it comes to your retirement, it is not, not enough to be right after the fact. You need to make the right moves before the next big shock hits. For instance, let's talk a little bit about interest rates. Here's the real thing. If we don't lower interest rates, people are not going to be able to continue to buy a house. You're not going to be able to get a loan to start a new business because it's just too expensive. If we do lower the interest rate, is that going to fuel inflation? I mean, we're walking a line here. That is crazy. And so what do you, what do you take from that? Well, we're gonna be the first people in history to ever dig ourselves out of this hole. Okay? Either that or you just are like you're stupid optimistic or you're stupid paralyzed with fear. Don't, don't just know the odds. Know the odds. The odds are this is going to get worse before it gets better. Some way or another it will get better, but it's going to get worse. That's why you call Lear Capital. You, you put a hedge around yourself to make sure that you have something left. If you've been saving for retirement, you know all of that is at risk right now. You put it into something like gold or silver. Have you seen the price of silver lately? You put it into gold or silver and it holds it its price. And if something happens to the dollar, it is going to skyrocket in price. Call Lear Capital today. Find out all of the information that they have. Please protect yourself from the uncertainty of tomorrow. 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. You'll get your three free $4200 gold report. It's going to be a history book soon, but you should get it now. Call 800-957-GOLD. All right. What do you think is going to happen with the interest rate today? You think? I mean Trump wants it dropped three points. That's not going to happen.
- [88:29]
Stu Burguiere
No.
- [88:29]
Glenn Beck
And the Fed expectations are that I think out of like the 10, you know, so 10 people are saying one, one is saying he might drop at a quarter of a point, be a start. But he's not going to drop it three points, two points even one point. But should he begin to drop it? Yeah. I mean there's only so much you can do when people can't afford houses. It's not a good thing in America. Not a good thing.
- [89:00]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if the other interest rates the problem with there, I mean we've seen the Case Shiller index go through the roof right. Over the past few years, as high as it's ever been. It's part of the problem.
- [89:16]
Glenn Beck
It's the price of homes and the cost of money. I mean if you're looking to buy a house and then you go to the bank and they're like, okay, well that'll cost you a thousand dollars more a month. You're like, wait, wait, what? I mean, that is a real problem.
- [89:29]
Stu Burguiere
By the way, Kalshee prediction markets, the Fed decision in July, 97% chance the Fed maintains rate, 3% chance it cuts by 25 basis points. So basically there are no chances is what the markets believe. Doesn't mean it's right. What do you think of Jerome Powell? There's two different types of people, right? We've seen this with world leaders. Some of these trade negotiations have gone this way. When Donald Trump comes to you and says, hey, you're doing this, some world leaders are like, screw you. Screw you. Some world leaders are like, yes, sir, I am.
- [90:03]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [90:04]
Stu Burguiere
I would say the majority of them are, yes, sir, I am. And the majority of people in government are, yes, sir, I am. There are some that are like, no. Now, the appropriate response is to, if you're the Fed chair, is to not respond at all to Donald Trump's pressures either way. Like, you can take his opinion into context, but you're supposed to be independent from all of that. In that role, he could be the type of person who's going to be like, I don't like the way Trump's talking about me. I don't want to get him off my back. I'm going to do what he says. Or he could be the person who spitefully says, the fact that he's saying these things to me means I'm never going to lower rates. Neither of those are appropriate, by the way. It's not what the Fed chair is supposed to do. He's supposed to make the decision just like the Supreme Court make the decision on the basis of the law or what's in front of you in your realm. But wait, you think he's one of those two types? Powell?
- [91:00]
Glenn Beck
I didn't get past the fact that you're talking about Powell, who I think is a moron in the first place. I think he looks at all of the stuff. He's doing things that he shouldn't be doing. The Fed caused most of the problems that we're having. Yeah, I mean, I mean, spending, spending, obviously, but when it comes to inflation, that. That's all the Fed, that's all the bailouts, it's all the crap that they did.
- [91:25]
Stu Burguiere
Right. He can't now. He was obviously appointed by Trump in the first term, so he wasn't necessarily run for those old school bailouts.
- [91:31]
Glenn Beck
Is he still in that role? I mean, he's still playing the same song, just.
- [91:35]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [91:35]
Glenn Beck
Over and over and over again. Nobody's, you know, that's the problem. The President Trump can't say, I'm going to pick from my own list. They propose. You can pick from these five people. Oh, can I? Oh, thank you. So, you know, the odds are anybody who's on that list is going to do the same thing, you know, and that's the real problem. But I mean, with 3% growth, with our GDP, that's good. That's really good.
- [92:03]
Stu Burguiere
That's solid.
- [92:03]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, there's a lot of good things.
- [92:05]
Stu Burguiere
Going on, by the way.
- [92:05]
Glenn Beck
A lot of good things.
- [92:07]
Stu Burguiere
It does get swept under the carpet quite a bit.
- [92:11]
Glenn Beck
And that, and that bothers me, but I understand it. It bothers me because if, if I have to spend another day on the air talking, you know, an hour or a whole show about, hey, there's this new information. This guy is, it's out and looks like he's really super guilty and they're going to get him now. I can't do that. I just can't do this job anymore. I am just not interested in that job. You know what I mean?
- [92:43]
Stu Burguiere
You're saying, like some of the people, you know, involved in the Russia situation.
- [92:47]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, any of it.
- [92:49]
Stu Burguiere
Any of it.
- [92:49]
Glenn Beck
Because here's the. And this is new for me. I no longer believe, I don't believe that justice is going to happen. I no longer believe that those people are going to go to jail. Now, the minute they start putting people in jail, I am right back to where I was. Okay, you're serious about it. Why should I be serious about these things if they're not? And that's a really bad place to be, because if you're not paying attention to it, if you're just tuning it out, which I'm not, but I am. I look at the stories every day and I, you know, I come in at 6am and I start looking at the stories and I balance and go, okay, what's most important, what gets on the show, what doesn't get on the show, and what do I need to understand so it might relate to this story? And I look at most of it now in the last few weeks, and I've just, I've been like, it doesn't matter. It matters deeply, but there's nothing I can do about it. No amount of talking about this is going to change anything. Because the whole system is only about talk. And talk doesn't matter. It's actions. I mean, look at what Donald Trump has done in so many good ways. He's not talking about it. In fact, there's times that you're like, wait, he just did what? He didn't even. He didn't even even talk about it. He just did it. That's what the country needs, is action. We don't need more talk. We don't need. We just need to know what the facts are, what the Constitution says, put those two together and let it roll. That's what you need. And nobody's thinking that way. It seems there's no common sense. It's just all politics. It's just all graft and buyouts and payoffs and, you know, friends of friends and. I mean. And I've never been here. Have you ever even heard me ever talk about it like this, Stu? No, I've never been here. And it's weird and I don't like it. And my. My job is becoming. I mean, it's. It's amazing how the Lord works if you listen. He told me about a year ago or so, things are changing. Something's not right. And that's. That's the feeling I had in my gut. And I started looking and. And that's why I'm doing the torch beginning next year. But now I'm. Now I'm finally kind of. Thank God he. I listened to him because I've been working a year on something, but now it's all hitting me on like, oh, this is why I need to change. This is why this new thing that I'm doing in January is so important, because I no longer believe. And. And I'm a pretty good judge of people. I don't have the gut the President has, but I have a pretty good gut on the average American. And I think the average American still, like me, cares deeply. We care about all of this stuff deeply. But I can't continue to beat it. I will continue to follow it, but I can't continue to beat it to death. Until something moves, I will follow it. I will keep informed on it, But I am not going to. I'm not gonna tie any hopes or dreams on it. What happens, happens. I'll do my part. I'll speak out. I'll stand up. Have you called your senator and said pass the nominees? Have you. You need to. What is it? 132 nominees. They're just stop. They're stopped. Just stopped. These. These senators should not be allowed to go home until they do their job. Job. Are they going to. I don't know. If we don't pay attention, if we don't do that one thing and pick up the Phone and say, senator, do your job. Senate Republicans, I'm talking to you. I know what the Democrats are doing. I'm talking to you as a Republican. Do your job. You don't. Don't try to convince me. You. You support the president. You support the agenda of the American people. The American people hired him to do a job. He said, I need these people. They're all qualified. And you won't even listen to the case. You want to reject them, reject them, but you won't even do that. You won't listen to their case. How are you possibly doing the work of the American people? People? You're all talk, and I'm tired of all talk. That's where I think. That's where the American people are. That's where I am. And if I'm out of step, I'm out of step. And that won't. Won't be good for me. But I can't pretend, you know? And I'm like that on almost everything. And so I look then and go, okay, so what? What is important? Well, what is important is the future that is coming, whether we like it or not. It has nothing to do with politics. And that is what's happening to the youth of America, because we are now at the point where we are supposed to let go of what we have. It's their turn. It's their turn. If you're in 65, you should not be, you know, forcing your way in the Senate. 70, certainly 80. What are you doing? Let the youth come in. Let them start making decisions. Let them shape the next generation. Let them clean up the mess that you have made, because they're the ones. They're not going to get Social Security. They're not going to get it. And you're still insisting that. Well, we can't cut off people in their 40s. Yes, we can, because we have to. We have to. And that doesn't mean just cut them and cut them loose. It means rethinking the way things are done. But you're so calcified in your thinking that it's gotta be Social Security. It's gotta be done this way. Well, that's a sham, and we all know it, and we've known it for a long time. And it's going to bankrupt our children and our grandchildren. So can we get some new blood in that thinks differently? Go. You know what? This is a stupid system. This is stupid. Why aren't we doing it this way? Can we get somebody in who even understands what AI is? Well, that's A computer thing that, you know, we have that, you know. Press 1 if you want to talk to your senator. Oh my. Why are we. Why? Why? Those people need to let go. It is the younger generation's turn and it is our turn to beg that generation to Wait, wait, wait, wait, please. Learn stuff that they never taught you in school. They lied to you. And it's not gonna be hard. They know it. They know it. They all know it. Why do you think they're killing themselves? Because nothing has meaning. They don't think there's any hope. Why? Because of the way I'm feeling. Nothing changes. It's all talk. Nothing. I can't make a difference in this. And then they're on top of it. Told, you'll never amount to anything. The system is. Is hell bent against you. There's no way you're gonna get a job. But you better pay that. You better pay that. That college bill. And you know what? For the first time in my life, my answer is yes, you do have to pay that bill. But boy, I understand how you feel because the whole system was rigged to. To strap you with that. While the. While the universities got rich. While the. While they. The government players, they all got rich. They all got what they needed to protect them in their political world from the universities doing all the kinds of research that they needed to keep us in war, in war, keep building more war, more war. They use those same universities to do behavioral science. Do you not think that the smartest behavioral scientists that are all now working for our government, mainly for the left. Do you really think that they didn't know that this would disenfranchise a whole generation? That none of them stopped and said, you know what? That's really going to off the younger generation? No. They knew that. And then they were either told or suggested, we'll make that work for us. I'm sorry, I may be just too cynical, but I don't think I am. I've always been an optimist. But this doesn't work. This doesn't work. And the only way back is through the truth. And that means the God. God and the truths that have been true for 5,000 years about how man works. Not about just how the country works, how man works. Socialism denies humans and humanity. It denies everything that is innate in us. All right, back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a home isn't just a financial decision and it's a real emotional one. You're not just moving Money around. You're moving lives. You're saying goodbye to a house full of memories or stepping into a new, new space, hoping to build new memories. You're dealing with timelines and family situations and career moves, school districts, maybe even a touch of panic or regret that will hit you midway through the process. This isn't just a job for a part timer. This is not a job for a neighbor's cousin or somebody who's just getting started in the business. You need a pro. And real estate Agents I trust is a service that I started. It's free. It connects you with actually good agents vetted for experience and success and most importantly, character. These are people that understand that this is not about the commission. It's your life. They know the local market. They're strong negotiators. They communicate.

So what's the solution, all this? What's the. If you're going to. If you. If a lot of this stuff feels meaningless, what do you do?
- [104:32]
Glenn Beck
Find meaning. Find meaning. And if there's no meaning in. Look, there is deep meaning in what is happening in Washington. On many things. Yeah, but if we keep hitting our. You know, it's the definition of insanity. I've said we've gone mad. Well, we're part of that, too. We just keep doing the same thing, expecting a different outcome. Oh, yeah, okay. We're gonna find out. We're gonna dig in. We're gonna find out. We've got. Look, we've got the documents right here. They're going to jail this time. No, no, they're not going to jail this time. Now maybe they will, but I've stopped planning on that. You know what I mean? I'll pay attention to it so I know what's going on, who the good guys and the bad guys are. But I'm not planning on that outcome. I'm hoping for that outcome, but I'm not planning on it. I'm not vested in that outcome because that outcome I don't see happening now. Maybe it will. Maybe things are changing and so many things are changing. Let's focus on the things that are changing then. Keep track of. Of the things that aren't changing just so you can See the mile marker of where we're at and then focus on the things that really, truly matter. And I think because my two kids are moving out of the house this summer, I am well tuned in to what actually matters. More in a minute.

You ever hear the old phrase, it's not a matter of what you make, it's how much you keep? Now whoever said that probably was sitting at a kitchen table staring at a stack of bills, wondering where the hell is all the money gone? It's a strange thing.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Well, today's been a really different show and you know, I'm not everything I say you should take with a grain of salt. You know, Stu and I were just talking off air and you know, what I haven't told you is, you know, I've told you that my kids are moving out of the house. I haven't mentioned that. My older kids are moving up north and Tanya and I are moving to Florida. And I still, my business will still be here in, in Dallas, but we're moving to Florida. She always wanted to live by the ocean. And I said, well, okay. And so we're, we're moving to Florida and all of that Is happening tomorrow. Tomorrow.
- [108:30]
Stu Burguiere
That does explain quite a bit.
- [108:32]
Glenn Beck
And, you know, as you get to a point, you know, you think. One thing you don't think of when you have kids, when you're. When, you know, you're in your 20s and you're like, oh, you know what? We're gonna have this period, and then we're gonna, you know, get back to the way we were and just enjoy life, and maybe we'll go travel and stuff. But you never think about the deep hole that is now inside of you because you miss your children. And. And it's not like they're not gonna visit or anything like that, but it's. You're used to them being at home and going, hey, you want to watch the game? Or you want to go do this? Or, you know, whatever, just have dinner. You want to. Hey, let's go grab a burger, whatever. That's not there. And especially if they're moving away from you. And it's. It's. I thank God. Tanya and I love each other. I can't imagine being in a marriage to where you both just tolerated it for the kids, and. And now it's empty, and you have nothing in common anymore. It must be, oh, my gosh, the empty house is enough. The empty marriage. It's got to be a killer if you. It happens so fast, too. If you have kids, work on your marriage every single week, Go on a date night every single week. I swear to you, it is what's kept Tanya between church and that is what's kept Tanya and I together, Because I'm not an easy guy to live with. As you might imagine, I'm a little unpredictable. But what. Is that why you're looking at Sarah? No, but it's what's kept us together. And, you know, it's weird because Tanya and I are now at that phase to where we're like, okay, you know, we got next 20 plus years ahead of us, and it's going to be us. And so we get to go do all the things that, you know, we wanted to do, but it's just. It's. It doesn't have the. It's bittersweet. I guess that's what it is. It's bittersweet. So many decisions in my life have not been as bittersweet as all of this is. Everything that is changing and going to change in my life, all of it is bittersweet. And it's like. And so I'm in a different place. So take me with a grain of salt on everything I'M saying, because I'm reflecting on everything and all the mistakes. You know, I got to get out of this place of. I got to get to a place to where I'm. I'm okay with saying to myself, and I've always been this way. Thank God I've got God, and thank God I've got a good wife. And neither of those things recommend Jack Daniels because, you know, I've always been somebody who can just go, okay, well, I made that mistake, and let's not make that mistake again and move on. When it comes to your kids leaving and you missing them, and in questioning, did I do this right? Did I do that right? Which is gonna happen, but you gotta let it go. I haven't gotten to the place yet where I can let it go, and that's not good. That's just not a good place to be. You look confused.
- [111:59]
Stu Burguiere
No, I mean, you're saying you can't let it go. Why? How does that work?
- [112:12]
Glenn Beck
I only think I can think of. And maybe we should. I should be on a couch saying this and not with the microphone in front of me, but regret. Regrets, I guess.
- [112:21]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [112:21]
Glenn Beck
You know, looking back and going, well, that was a stupid decision and you're gonna make them. I mean, I've been able to deal with them in everything else except the kids. And it's just compile it. Just compounding. It's like. Compounding interest. It just is like. Like exponential growth on that. And I just got to stop it. Just got to stop it.
- [112:44]
Stu Burguiere
Pretty normal, though, right? You're.
- [112:45]
Glenn Beck
I hope it is.
- [112:46]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. You're thinking about things that you. Decisions that you made that went the wrong way, and you're always going to beat yourself up about it.
- [112:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And. And not necessarily anything bad, just like, I should have done that. I should have. You know, the. The. The saying. You know, nobody's on their deathbed and they like, I wish I had more time at the office. Shut up. But it's. It's. You don't have to be on your deathbed. You just have to have your kids move out of the house. And then you're like. And. And then the other thing is, we're moving to a place where we don't know anybody. So we have no new. We have to. We're starting all over again. And it's like that. That's. What. What the hell were we thinking? What were we thinking? You know?
- [113:27]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [113:28]
Glenn Beck
And it's all gonna be fine and fun, but it's. It's like this. And this is only One. A very small part of what I'm dealing with in the next six months. And it's. I've. I've never. I said to my wife yesterday, I've never been bad at dealing with stress. I'm at the zenith of my stress point. I.
- [113:52]
Stu Burguiere
You are. You've met with multiple presidents.
- [113:54]
Glenn Beck
I've met. And some of them wanted me dead. Yeah. Most of them.
- [113:59]
Stu Burguiere
No.
- [113:59]
Glenn Beck
I'm at the top of my stress, but, yeah, I am. It's weird. It's weird.
- [114:05]
Stu Burguiere
But tying all this into our earlier conversation, when talking about AI and all of the things that are coming from that perspective, I think about, like, luckily, we're in a position, by the way, that marriages are ending in divorce much less frequently. Right. Not that I'm projecting a divorce for you. I'm just saying that.
- [114:22]
Glenn Beck
I hope not. Do you know something I don't know? This is not helpful.
- [114:28]
Stu Burguiere
You have that situation where you mentioned parents kind of staying together for the kids, trying to get through the high school years. You send them off to college, and then you might go your separate ways. Can you imagine trying to do that now? I'm sure there's thousands of people in the audience right now that are going through something like that, doing that in an era where nobody talks to each other anymore. Right. Nobody seems to have a large group of friends. No connections are being cut off. People are going online for, you know, all these things instead of the old school ways of doing it.
- [115:00]
Glenn Beck
It's funny, I. Because I thought about that. I thought, you know, because what I miss is the FaceTime. I miss the. I miss giving my hug. You know what I mean? And they. If. If they're. If they're like normal kids that didn't have, like. Like, you know, super parents, they've maybe never really had that. You know what I mean? They didn't have the warmth of a. A real social interaction with friends even. It was all online. Can you imagine how empty and meaningless that feels? I mean, no human, Have. No human being has ever gone through what our kids are going through right now. And we feel out of sorts because of things. Imagine what it's like at their age. They can't. They just grew up entirely differently.
- [115:59]
Stu Burguiere
Are you thinking that maybe handing over a third of their life to a phone every day was a bad idea? I don't understand.
- [116:08]
Glenn Beck
I mean, you know, we. Tanya and I wrestled with when is the right time? When is the right time? When is the right time? And this is before Jonathan Haidt's book came out, which is a Must read. If you have children and there are two, read this book. But, you know, we wrestled with when's the right time? And I see kids now with iPads, and I'm like, oh, no, I don't mean like, I don't mean like kids. I mean like little teeny kids with iPads. And no, don't, don't, don't get them. Don't go there. You know, our argument was, well, they got to know this stuff. They have to be. Yeah, they'll know it. Believe me, they will know it. And they will pick it up quickly. It retrains their brains. I mean, it retrains our brains. Imagine what it does to a soft, mushy brain that has no real pathways in it. Yet. Don't give your kids any of those devices. Don't let them online without you with them. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. And that requires us to then also not be online all the time.
- [117:22]
Stu Burguiere
Leading by example. That sounds hard.
- [117:25]
Glenn Beck
Oh, it's impossible. I'm only saying that.
- [117:27]
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
- [117:28]
Glenn Beck
Other people will do it. Perfect. All right, let me tell you about Cozy Earth. Ever notice how the older you get, the more you start to value the things that actually improve your daily life?

If you missed any of the show, I mean, Sarah just said, well, now I understand your hour one monologue and where that came from. I think today's show in its entirety is almost a Rosetta Stone to understand at least how I formulate my opinions and why I'm saying the things that I am and how I view things. So if you want a deeper understanding of how I view the world, this. This. This show is a Rosetta Stone. You should listen to all of it, and you'll find it wherever you get your podcast. Um. All right, let me talk a little bit about some scary stuff. I went to bed last night, 10:30, and all of a sudden I'm seeing tsunami warning. Get to. Get to Nebraska or you're going to be wiped out. And I'm like, wait, what? It's the largest earthquake ever in the history of the universe, and everyone's gonna die. If you live anywhere, if you have a water fountain in your area, get away from the water fountain. And then I wake up this morning, and I'm like, I gotta call my sister. I gotta make sure she's okay. I gotta. Luckily, I fell asleep and never did any of that because, you know, I live in Texas. We're way away from water unless it's in the air. And then I wake up this morning, it's like, yeah, you know, I went. I went to bed, and everybody's like, why hasn't Oprah opened up the road on the island? What's wrong with this insensitive witch not opening up her private roads? And I'm like, wow, Well, I turned on Oprah really fast.
- [120:24]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
- [120:25]
Glenn Beck
What is. Is she even home? Does she know anything? Can somebody call her, get a comment? Hey, can you open up your road? What is happening? And then it kind of came to shore, like, and it was over.
- [120:40]
Stu Burguiere
So many weird things about that. First of all, the Oprah thing, I think, has to do with the fact that this is the type of situation we don't have. The typical people to blame. Like, they'll. Let me. The media can't say it's. It's global warming, it's guns. They can't. They don't have any of those explanations for this.
- [120:55]
Glenn Beck
And that's why it's over. I haven't seen anyone even cover it, right?
- [120:58]
Stu Burguiere
It's basically over. I mean, six largest earthquake in the. In the history of the world. Recorded the history of the world.
- [121:05]
Glenn Beck
Play cut nine. Play cut nine. Listen to this. You go to bed. This is Japan. See if they stop. And, you know, they're like, Godzilla. And I'm watching this, and I'm like, I'm expecting Godzilla to come out and stop. It does start stomping on power lines. You know what I mean? Yeah.
- [121:32]
Stu Burguiere
Terrifying.
- [121:32]
Glenn Beck
What is a totally terrifying. And this happened everywhere? Everywhere. And then how did it go for? Is it just that it was so far away?
- [121:44]
Stu Burguiere
No. You know what's so strange about it is they had such precision on when.
- [121:49]
Glenn Beck
It would arrive, like, exactly. Yeah.
- [121:53]
Stu Burguiere
I can tell you, because last night they said it was going to hit Hawaii at our time, 12:17am yeah. And, you know, I'm getting ready for bed. I'm like, should I wait a half hour just to see what happens? You know what I mean? And I did. Nothing happened.
- [122:08]
Glenn Beck
Really. You're not going to get that half hour back.
- [122:09]
Stu Burguiere
No, you don't get that back, by the way, this is a great example of what you're talking about. I can't do anything for the people of Hawaii tonight.
- [122:16]
Glenn Beck
Right, Right.
- [122:17]
Stu Burguiere
These people are going to have to deal with it themselves. Why do I sit there and want to see in real time?
- [122:23]
Glenn Beck
Might have been my wife's prayer power that stopped. This might have been. That might have been. You know, she was immediately starting to pray, you know, and now. And I think. I think Hawaii. You owe my wife a debt of gratitude.
- [122:36]
Stu Burguiere
One free trip.
- [122:37]
Glenn Beck
You could still be pissed at Oprah. I'm okay with that.
- [122:40]
Stu Burguiere
And again, did I. Did Oprah do anything we said? They're like, oh, that's what I kept seeing, too. It's like, everyone's like, oh, I can't believe Oprah open up her private road? Like, I don't. I mean, was she there?
- [122:51]
Glenn Beck
And I have to tell you. What do you mean, open the private road? Does she have gates on the road? Because if it just says private road and there's a tsunami coming, I'm going down that private road.
- [123:01]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, I assume there would be some sort of gates on there.
- [123:04]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [123:04]
Stu Burguiere
And I guess it just meant that they could get up higher, quicker, faster. Which it seemed like, by the way, everyone, like every. Every piece of social media was like nonstop traffic. No one could get out of the city. And then like an hour later, like, okay, all the roads are clear. It seems really. Do we always focus on the right thing?
- [123:21]
Glenn Beck
It's really weird because, you know, if you sat and you were panicked in that and you were in the car and you're like, we gotta get away. We gotta get to the top of the Volcan volcano. And then nothing happened. You'd be like, the next time that siren goes off, you'd be like, yeah, yeah.
- [123:36]
Stu Burguiere
And that. And that's usually when the bad stuff happens.
- [123:38]
Glenn Beck
It is exactly when, you know, you're swept up in a, you know, tornado, because that's what happens here. The sirens like that go off for tornadoes all the time.
- [123:46]
Stu Burguiere
All the time.
- [123:47]
Glenn Beck
And when we first moved here, we were like, get me a shovel. I gotta dig a hole in the ground and have the family deep underground. And then, you know, nothing happens. And now it goes off. You're like, yeah, I'm gonna go to bed. Not a good idea.
- [124:01]
Stu Burguiere
No.
- [124:02]
Glenn Beck
There's something wrong with us as people.
- [124:04]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. It's natural, though. You know, we had those terrible floods here in. In Texas, you know, a month ago or so. And it's like a situation where they, you know, people probably heard those warnings so many times, you know, there. Because they. There were sirens in some areas so many times you probably heard them were like, oh, gosh, here we go again. And, you know, the time you don't move could be the worst one. So anyway, panic more.
- [124:31]
Glenn Beck
But you know what? Panic more. Freak out. Call Oprah, tell her, open your damn road. But luckily, very little death. But global warming wasn't involved. That's what global warming does, just deals death. This is Glenn, Becky.
