Glenn Beck
One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself. You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up. And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore. What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial. It's the process. It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, how? What? So people wait and you shouldn't have to. Audien was built to remove those barriers. They have the Atom X. It is an over the counter hearing aid designed to be straightforward and approachable without prescriptions or complicated setups. The charging case has a simple touchscreen, lets you adjust the volume and modes with just tiny little, without the tiny little buttons or learning curve. And it delivers clear, natural sound. Please it audianhearing.com Take control of your hearing today. Glenn beck is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There's a lot going on today. You have the. I mean, one of the most incredible stories I think I've read. It's wor what the SPLC was doing. Remember when they said they were, you know, they were sponsoring the clan and, you know, trying. They were doing, you know, some. I'm telling you, nothing. None of the hate stuff is true. None of it is true. The SPLC now it is revealed, were actually reimbursing Klan members for their hoods. What? What? Let me ask you, when you're filling out your expense report, what does it say in the Dropbox that what category does your clan hood go into? Splc. There's so much more on that story. Also, the Democrat in New Jersey that is in Tom Todd Beamer's district that won has terror ties. Not good. How's this guy going to. How's this guy going to get a security clearance? We'll talk about that. The decline in support for lgbtq, what does that mean? We'll get into that here in just a second. And something I call the third temptation. Something I started talking to you about yesterday with this revelation about Candace Owens vacation. I don't really care about her vacation. I do think it's interesting that she's vacationing in Russia. Not. That's not interesting. I'D like to do that if I felt safe. But where she's, where she's speaking, she's speaking in the same conference put on by Alexander Dugin and Vladimir Putin. And both of them are speaking there. And it is something. It's not good. It's really not good. I'm going to tell you about it and why you need to care about it. Let me attempt to show you a different way and how this is actually, we've seen this movie before and conservatives have already rejected it once. Let me explain in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Preborn. When an unexpected pregnancy happens, the conversation usually focuses on the mom. And of course, it should. She's carrying the baby. She faces a lot of pressure, but she needs support. What about dad? A lot of young men are really terrified and they're insuring themselves and they're wondering whether they're ready, whether they can provide, whether they have what takes. One of the things I appreciate about a preborn is they don't just care about the baby. They care about the moms. They care about the dads. And they care about the they care about the whole family. And they encourage fathers as well, helping them see that their child is a gift and their role matters so they can step up to the responsibility of being a dad. They become more likely to support the mom, more likely to choose life, and more likely to embrace the incredible privilege of fatherhood. Today, help another father experience that same amount of Hope. For $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound through preborn and help expecting parents see a future filled with life and compassion and hope, with God's love. Donate now dial £250, say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com beck. Glenn Beck is on. Okay. Yesterday I started telling you about this trip. There's a story@glennbeck.com it is a must read. I don't tell you that very often that these are things that you must read. This is one. You must be aware of this. This is the line that will decide. I believe one of the crucial lines will decide whether you're on the right side or the wrong side. Even the very elect are going to be misled, okay? And it's going to get harder and harder to see the truth. So let me recap. Yesterday, I told you one of the most followed conservative voices in America, Candace Owens, announced a quiet family vacation in Russia. She was going to go see the cathedrals. She was saying it's a little faith tourism with her husband. Nothing wrong with that. And a handful of researchers did something that I said yesterday was almost embarrassingly simple. They just read the program, a program she was listed in as a speaker at the Kremlin's flagship forum. You know one of Vladimir Putin's headlines, A few names down from Vladimir Putin is the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin. Now, on that same roster is Candace Owens. And she said she was going to meet Alexander Dugan and maybe talk to him, yada, yada. This is really bad. Really bad. The thread the researchers pulled didn't lead to her. However, it led back to him, the man they call Putin's brain, who wrote back in 1997, the way to break America was to feed divisions and flatter its urge to retreat from the world. Then he also casts Russia as the holy restrainer in a final war against the satanic West. And it that satanic west and the Jewish Antichrist that will come from apparently America or siding with us is going to be fought by Russia, the right Christians that have teamed up with Islam. Okay. And I told you how this idea, written in Moscow, can end up in your earbuds in Ohio listening to a podcast, and it's called narrative laundering. You strip the fingerprints off the message and you slip it in the mouth of somebody you already trust. So it doesn't sound like it's foreign. It sounds like home. And voila. Okay. The payload was a single engineered question. Does your faith come first or your country? Which, I told you yesterday, is a false choice built to set the two great loves of a Christian patriot at war with each other. And the most uncomfortable part was where it gets in. Not through an enemy in a foreign uniform, but through allies waving our own flag and quoting our own scriptures. It was built to fool people, exactly like you and me. Luckily, I have been watching this guy, Alexander Dugan, for years. I've been warning you for years. He is about to. He is. I shouldn't say about. He is on center stage now in much of the right and in Christendom. So I want to show you today, I want to take it from a different angle. I want to show you the same thing, but from a different angle, because people in this audience already diagnosed this disease once before. You just didn't know you were being trained to recognize it. So let me help you recognize what you're facing by showing you what you've already recognized. Do you remember when we started talking about Barack Obama in 2007 and 8? And we found Jeremiah Wright and we Heard crazy things coming from the pulpit with Jeremiah Wright. We did our homework. What is that? That's liberation theology. Okay? It swept through the church in the last century, but you hopefully were not fooled. You saw it for what it was. Marxism in a cassock. The cross traded for the hammer and sickle. Salvation redefined as revolution. Remember, it takes the gospel from a personal salvation goal to a collective salvation goal. God doesn't save us collectively, he saves us individually. And when you get this, when you get liberation theology, the kingdom of God collapses into a five year plan and the gospel is reduced to a means and a political ends. Okay? You knew that a faith bent into a weapon for the class struggle, struggle had to. It had already stopped being faith and it had to be stopped because it's not faith. Even the Vatican said so. Cardinal Ratson Ratzeninger himself warned that you can't borrow, you know, categories of marks and still be preaching Christ. You can't. So you are right. You got liberation theology. Hold on to that clarity for one more minute because you're going to need it. Because the same offer has just come back around now, new and improved. And this time it's not coming from the left, it's, it's coming from the right and it's coming for you. And it's not arriving with a red star. It arrives under a golden dome. It doesn't say seize the means of production. It says restore the Christian civilization. It doesn't quote Marx, it quotes our Church fathers. And it is aimed with great precision at the one group who would never fall for the left wing version, at the faithful, the traditional, the patriotic Christian who has spent his whole life resisting exactly this kind of maneuver from the other direction. So here's what you have to see, because you of all people are equipped to see it. It's exactly the same heresy. Liberation theology politicized the faith and dragged it left. This new thing politicizes the faith and drags it to the right. But the sin underneath is identical. Taking the kingdom that is not of this world and nailing it to a kingdom that is of this world. Remember, this new philosophy is you got to get in with the Russians, you got to get in with a Christian prince, because only this kingdom of the world will save the next kingdom. You know, that's garbage. And the moment you turn the internal into a tool of the temporal, you've handed someone else the handle. And in this case, the someone holding that handle sits in Moscow. The liberation theologians thought they were using Marxism. Marxism was using them. And I'm telling you that the man selling the Tsar to the rescue of Christendom are running exactly the same play. The faithful are meant to be the instrument, not the author. Let me tell you something that cynics will never say to you. I respect you too much to flatter or to lie to you. And here's what everyone who will stand against this will not say. And it must be said. This new theology that is coming out extraordinarily dangerous is going to capture a lot of people, including people like you and me. Because it's grievance. It starts on grievance. They're not wrong about the culture. There is something in our culture, our entertainment, our schools, our screens, our institutions that has set itself against Christ not always in name, sometimes in name, but always in spirit in its teachings and its trappings. And the ache that you feel that, that. That you are looking at Antichrist stuff coming from our culture. That's not paranoia and it's not nostalgia. It's like I remember Leave it to Beaver. They would have never done. No, no, this is, this is discernment screaming at you. And the disease is real. Which is exactly why the counterfeit is so dangerous. Remember, the author of all lies, he doesn't make things out of whole cloth. A lie that works is never built on a false diagnosis. It's built on a true diagnosis diagnosis welded to a cure that is poison. You will see. And I've got a monologue on this. Maybe, maybe next week. I just. I'm running out of time this week. But I was thinking about this yesterday and I started doing some research on all of the people that have diagnosed the sickness. But it was the medicine that was poison. Okay? Liberation theology was right. The poor were crushed. This movement is right. The culture is evil. But a correct diagnosis is the bait, as it always is. So let me name the cure for what it, what it is in the oldest terms we have. Let me give you the cure here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. This half hour. It's simply safe. In the movies, the burglar always makes one huge mistake. He knocks over a lamp. He steps on a dog toy. He makes some sort of noise and that alerts the homeowner. Real life isn't that convenient. You know, people who break into homes don't plan on making noise. They don't plan on getting caught. In fact, the entire strategy depends on staying unnoticed for as long as possible. A lot of security systems don't really do anything until the break in is already underway by Then the bad guy isn't outside your house. He's inside your house. Simplisafe takes a different approach with their outdoor camera series two. And the advanced AI alerts us based live agents can identify threats on your property and help deter them before the crime even starts. Simplisafe, it really is a game changer because it gives you something that is hard to put a price on. Confidence. So whether you're home, traveling or just, you know, hearing some random noise outside at night, you know you have a system that's actually watching out for you. And right now, you can get 50% off your brand new system by visiting simplisafe.com back half off simplisafe.com Beck. There is no safe like SimpliSafe. 10 seconds station ID. Okay, so somebody has diagnosed the problem. Right now, they're giving you a solution. Let me name the cure for what it is. There is a moment in the wilderness when Satan takes Christ up to a high place and shows him all the kingdoms in the world in all their glory. And he makes him an offer. All of this I'll give to you. The power, the victory, the restored dominion. Just be bow down to me. That is the offer on the table right now to all of Christian civilization. It will all be handed back to you. Your enemies routed, your culture war won, not in a generation of patient labor, but in a stroke. All of it. You just bow to me. You just bow to the strongman. You just bow to Mother Russia. You bow to the Christian empire. Trade your birthright of ordered liberty for a guarantee of victory. Christ was shown that exact deal, and he refused it. Not because the kingdoms weren't real, but because the price was everything that mattered. You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. Not the czar, not the empire, not the man who promises to do the fighting for you. I don't care if it's Putin or Trump. We do not need a Christian prince. We need Christians that understand what it means to be a Christian. And the power of Christ alone. And the power of living your life the right way and living your life more like him and serving him. Understand what the rescue actually does. It's not saving anything. The rescue from Christ does. A church taken into the arms of the state is not a rescued church. It's a captured one. Look east and you'll see the autopsy. A faith made into a department of government. It's shepherds reading the regime script. The gospel reduced to a flag. That is not Christianity protected. That is Christianity stuffed and Mounted on your wall. A faith that you are forced to profess is not a faith at all. And a kingdom handed to you by Caesar was never the kingdom of God. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Render unto God what is God? The whole con depends on you forgetting where that line is drawn. It depends on you being so overwhelmed by the evil in this culture, the culture that is turned against Christ, and it has. And us being afraid, us not recognizing the power of our own Christianity, the power of our own Christ and Savior, that we'll look to a man to fight it. A man who does not believe in individual rights. Everything, everything in the gospel is about the individual. Everything. Nothing is about the collective. This is all about the collective and not the individual. So how do we fight? Well, we fight the American way. Because the people who founded this country already handed us the best, best weapon. They forged it for exactly this hour. Our founders were not naive about virtue. They knew a free republic can't run on machinery. And we let the machinery run. John Adams said it. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people wholly in adequate government for. For any other. Washington, in his farewell, said religion and morality the indispensable supports for political prosperity. They both agreed with your diagnosis two centuries ago. A free people must be a good people, or they won't be free. But then they did the thing the czars and the commissars would never understand. They secured the faith by refusing it, by refusing to let the government own it. No established church, free exercise for every conscience. Religion in America grew strong precisely because it. It stayed free. The Tocqueville came looking for a secret and found it. He said it was in our churches. Europe was withering under the protection of the state, while free churches in America were on fire. State religion is a hot house that kills the plant. Liberty is the open field where it grows wild and deep. It'll never come from the government. Heck, it barely comes from our churches. It comes from the individuals reading their scriptures and personally connecting to Christ. The Russian model is the old European error with the volume turned all the way up to scream. Marry the altar to the throne. Watch the throne devour the altar. America, we tried something braver. We bet that faith held by free men by persuasion and conviction, not by decree, would outlast any empire. And we've done it for 250 years. That bet is paid. Now we just need to replenish. We just need to renew it. We just need to go back to God. We need to humble ourselves as individuals. That's the road. Not a kingdom handed down from above, but a renewal built from below. Free churches, strong families, schools that actually shape persuasion instead of coercion. The slow, unglamorous, deeply American work of governing ourselves, starting with the hardest government at all. The government of our own appetites. You want to push back on the culture gone Antichrist? You don't need a czar. You need a revival. And no government on earth will ever command a revival. No commissar in investments can ever fake one. This road is harder than the other road, but it is the right road. Your soul has a very dear price tag on it. Do not sell it. Do not sell it for cheap tricks and trinkets. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Patriot Mobile. I think most of us have had this experience. You find a company that you like, they provide a good product, the price is fair, everything's going great. Then one day you find out, wait, what have you been doing with the money I send you? You're suddenly thinking, wait a minute, I didn't sign up for that. That's especially true with your cell phone company because for most people, it's a bill that gets paid automatically month after month, year after year. And you don't think about it. And then you discover the company's been supporting, you know, Planned Parenthood, causes that will reflect your values at all. You want to know how to save this culture from evil? To do this, make the switch today. That's it. That's. It's that easy. We just keep looking for these grand strategies. Oh, we need somebody to come in and save us while we won't do the simple thing. Stop giving your money to people who are giving it to Planned Parenthood. Here's somebody who's going to give you exactly the same coverage. All three major networks, they make it easy for you to keep your phone, keep your number, all of that crap. You save money. You want to save the republic? Do the little things.

Glenn Beck
Hey, I've. I've agreed to speak with Moms for liberty again about aboard the legendary USS Midway. It's in San Diego, California. It is happening this weekend, I believe. Tickets are still available. I would love to see there. I do not get to California. Oh, I don't know, ever. I can't remember the last time I was in California. Speaking in California. It might have been 10 years, 12 years. It's been a long time since I've spoken in California. So rare, really rare time to get to meet each other. And it's aboard the USS Midway. I've been working on the, the speech for a few weeks, wanting to know exactly what to say. You know, the history lesson behind it, the Midway. I don't think people have any idea how Midway even started. It is. It's both fascinating, tremendously heroic and hilarious at the same time. So we're gonna. I'm gonna be there. I'll be there. Stage Steel, I think is coming. Powerful tributes, Fireworks over San Diego Bay. Special D Day remembrance. It'll be a night of faith, freedom and patriotism. You don't want to miss the US Mid USS Midway Museum tickets@momsforliberty.org it's this Saturday. It's moms for liberty.org get your tickets now. I would love to meet you and say hello. It's going to be in another incredible night. It is the bookend to what we did on Ellis island, which was everyone that was there. I mean, as I rode the ferry back and forth with the people that were there and I talked to and everybody said it was the most incredible experience of their life. And I think this is going to be another one of those evenings, this time in the West Coast. Very rare. It's. It's almost like I'm Bigfoot. It's a Glenn Beck sighting in California. You don't want to miss it this weekend.

Cheryl Atkinson
Glenn, can I?
- [26:18]
Glenn Beck
Okay, yeah.
- [26:21]
Cheryl Atkinson
I've seen a sneak peek of the speech. I was bawling, reading it in written form. If you are. If you know what happened at Ellis island and how Glenn, you know, threw the house down with that speech, you're going to be blown away by this one. Do not miss it.

Jason
Get your tickets now.

Cheryl Atkinson
It's incredible.

Glenn Beck
Really good. It's. It's really good. Thanks to Nathan Nipper, who did all this research. We, you know, we talk beforehand. He's like, what do you want to talk about? And I'll tell him and I'll say, hey, look for this, look for this, look for this. And then he comes back with all of these facts and they are just so great, so great. So you don't miss that. Another thing, speaking of facts, today after the show, for insiders only, this is like, almost like a full special that we would do. This is a very deep dive on what I think is coming. In fact, you can see if you take. What is it? Camera three. Yeah, the chalkboard is being cleared for me right now because I'm doing a special tonight, or, sorry, today, right after the show at noon. Jason and I have been talking about this for the last few days, last few weeks. We felt something changing, something here. I go to Europe and I feel strongly something's not right. Something is, something's. Something's changing, something's different. And then we come back and then the news of Iran and Jason and I started talking about it and, and Jason, you saw my research last night and my notes for today for the after show, the overtime show for insiders only. What are your thoughts on it?
- [27:57]
Jason
My first thought was, Glenn, I thought this was going to be 15, 20 minutes. But then you did an entire special. Like, this is pretty much another, like, network size special. It's really something special, lack of another word. But it is pretty much exactly what I have felt is happening. You put it into words, globally, all the different moves and counter moves that are being made and where this is going. And will there be anything that stands in the way, in the middle, anything that stands for personal freedom and liberty? There is only one place you can probably guess who that is. But how does this play out? Well, this is a blueprint, a map of how I see it, how what you're seeing, everything play out and what the Trump administration is actually doing to prepare for it. Maybe that's the most important thing because there is a way through it.
- [28:49]
Glenn Beck
So it's brutally honest, because I don't want to give you anything but facts. And when I give you my opinion, I will tell you this is my opinion. I can't prove it, but it is something that if you want to see over the horizon, you need to see. Because I, I think the, I think the entire map, the globe is about to change. The, the map of the globe is about to change and in a dramatic way. And we're in a completely different phase. I don't think anybody realizes it yet. We're in a, you know, when Trump came in, that was phase one. We're in phase two, and nobody understands it yet. And it's a dicey one. So that will be broadcast live. I'm going to just take five minute break after the show, get my head together, go to the chalkboard, and then we'll come on for the insiders and I will show you this, this is, this is like a big special that we usually do, but without all of the fancy, you know, you know, visuals and everything else. This is just me and you breaking it down. I'll show you what's coming. You don't want to miss that. You have to be an insider to see it. It'll be live. So join the insider now. Glenn beck.com torch glenn beck.com torch and you'll see that right immediately following. That's noon Eastern time. And it'll probably last an hour depends on how much I just keep ad libbing. I got it. I'm very bad at, I just keep adding stuff. But it should run about an hour. Ish. So a very important hour you don't want to miss. It'll be live and then you can watch it, you know, on Torch, you know, when you, when you're at home, if you don't have time during the middle of the day. But very important, you can listen to it as well. Okay, let me see. There's a couple of things that we should talk about. You know, let me get to the clan stuff. So we found out that the Southern Poverty Law center, this is what two months ago, was, was paying the Klan. They were actually, they were actually funding some of the stuff that they would then go on TV and say, look at these radicals. Look at these radicals. Where, where was that? In Carolinas that Trump, you know, said these, they're fine people on both sides. And everybody said, he's talking about the Klan. No, he's not. He wasn't talking about the clan. Go back and listen to the whole thing. You. Anyway, it wasn't about that. But they were, that was funded by the splc. Okay. We now find out. It's worse than that. It's worse than that. They were, they were also paying members of the Klan to stay with the racist group. So. No.
- [31:34]
Eric Metaxas
No.
- [31:35]
Glenn Beck
You want to leave? No. You think this is morally wrong? No. No. Can we pay you to stay? And then here. You know what you need? You need some extra incentive. Will pay for your clan uniform. Now, call me naive. I never thought about the buying of the Klan uniform process. I don't know where you buy one of those. I don't want to know. You know, I guess, I guess I just thought maybe you made it at home by yourself. I mean, what company is making clan uniforms? And you get a receipt for that. Isn't that something you probably don't want a receipt for? But get a receipt. Look, I'm going to pay for your clan uniform. This is the splc. I'm going to pay for your clan uniform, but I need a receipt for that. So wherever you're buying your clan uniform, you're like, I need a receipt. I got to put this on my business exp. Can I. What does the Dropbox. Well, you're filling out your business expenses there. What does the Dropbox say? Well, you're a clan uniform. What. I mean, what is that? What, What. What category does that fall under? I don't know. And that one's probably easier to find the category than literally, the crosses that they were burning. The splc, it is now out. They. They paid for cross burning, Robes and hoods, recruitment and living expenses. I gotta tell you, if I paid a dime to the splc, I think I'd be a little upset. Wait, you paid for the crosses? Do these guys even exist without the SPLC's money? I mean, my guess is yes, in numbers far larger than you would be comfortable with. But really, I'm not. I'm not so sure. Now you're paying for the cross. Did anybody ask. Did. Did Billy, Billy Bob, Jimbo come up and say, hey, guys, let me just get the cross this time? How. How is he affording the crosses? I mean, I don't know. Again, do you go to a lumber yard and do you just buy the wood to make the cross? I don't. I don't know. Are there special places and do I need a receipt for that? And when I turn in my receipt, do I have to say, I just think this is things you do. Wouldn't want tracked. Do I put on the receipt? Lumber for burning crosses. Just when you thought America could not get more bizarre, you get this story. You get this story. And then how about this one? This week, a Democrat with terror ties linked to the 93 World Trade center bombing is on track to become New Jersey's next congressman. It's New Jersey's 12th district. He's the guy who was a witness for the defense in the blind sheik's trial. Then he took a trip over to some godforsaken country and. And was doing work with Al Qaeda. Then he decides I'm going to run for Congress in New Jersey. And not just any place in New Jersey, in the 12th district of New Jersey. Why do I say that's important? Because do you. Anybody remember Todd Beamer? I'm talking 25 years ago, but you remember Todd Beamer. Todd Beamer was the let's roll guy on the fourth plane on September 11 that said, let's Roll. The only reason why that plane crashed into a middle of a field and not into either the White House or the Capitol is because of Todd Beamer and all the people that were on board on that. They were like, you're not doing this with us. It's his district. So you've gone from a district where the bodies were actually recovered in a burning shell of an airplane to electing a guy who has worked with al Qaeda and defended the blind. You know, we're coming up to the 25th anniversary. 25 years ago. Look at us. Look at what's going on in our world. In our world, I mean, your world, just being an American. Go to the airport, take off your belt. All of the crap you have to stand in line for. Give me your eye scan now. All the crap that has happened, you know, if you look back, all of our division, because the wars came from this, the hatred of the flag, all of this stuff, all of this started on 9, 11, 25 years ago this September. Let me say something I don't know true. I'm informative in a question. Did obama, did osama bin laden win? I think we're still in the fight, but I would say it's a close fight. We never thought we would be fighting 25 years later, but we are. Everything, everything that we're going through right now, 90% of it comes from 9, 11. Maybe that's a question we should ask ourselves more often. Are they winning? Did they win? Because I don't recognize my country anymore. And that was their plan, to push us to the edge of collapse, to hit us so hard, to collapse our economy. Well, our economy stood by the grace of God. But is America? I think that's what our 250th anniversary, coincidentally, is really all about. It's our decision. This is our year to make the decision. Is there going to be another 250 years? They're going to be another 250 days, 250 months, 250 minutes. So are we going to have another anniversary again? This is the year we should decide because we're on the ropes gang. And you want to see those ropes? Join me for the Torch overtime special today. Glenn beck.com torch there's something exhausting about

the way everything today has to come with some sort of, like, crazy gimmick attached to it. Every product needs a backflip and a laser show and a celebrity endorsement or some ridiculous story about how it's disrupting the space. It's honestly pretty exhausting at this point. And sometimes you just want something that's good because it's actually good. And that's what Flying Ace straight bourbon is. It's not trying to reinvent bourbon. It's not trying to turn it into some science project. It's just a really solid, well crafted bourbon that delivers the way that you want it to. You get those classic notes. You expect the caramel and the vanilla, the toasted spice, but there's real depth to it too. Because it's made from a blend of carefully aged bourbons selected for flavor. This result is a smooth, balanced and bold result without punching you in the face on the first sip. I think some of these bourbons like they were meant for flavor, but they just basically act like they're going to wake you up out of a coma. Whether you're just kind of relaxing, sitting around with friends, unwinding after a long day, or just enjoying a quiet evening, Flying Ace is one of those bourbons that feels dependable in the best possible way.

All right, let me tell you about Super Sure. Let's say you own a business. Somebody tells you, you know there's a way to save money on your insurance. Great. They hand you a stack of forms, 12 different quotes, bunch of industry jargon, spreadsheet looks like it was designed by a NASA engineer having a really bad day. You don't know whether you're saving money or accidentally cutting something really important. That's the thing about business insurance. The hard part isn't finding options, it's figuring out what those options actually mean and which ones are right for you. That's why I like Super Sure. They built their entire platform around making business insurance easy to understand. Instead of making you dig through a mountain of paperwork.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, absolutely. He's Luciferian. And you reminded me of his symbol, which is a. Which is six star, six arrows all pointed in the. In a different direction in different shape, sizes, and it's a star. And what, what star is this? From the occult.

Star of Chaos, who is the author of all chaos. And he started this with this symbol because he wanted to create chaos in the United States.

Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways. We lock the doors, we install the cameras. But there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name, and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is like you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need Home Title Lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can get it out. You knock it out quickly. I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity. I want you to be able to find out if you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it. The promo code is Blaze. Blaze is the promo code.

Eric Metaxas
You are so kind. You're so gracious. Listen, what I said to you when we were together, wherever that was. I set out to write a definitive book of the story of the American Revolution. That was my goal. People kept saying, what's your angle? I said, I have no angle. I want to tell the story. Because the story doesn't exist in one volume, one book. There's tons of books on the revolution, but most Americans don't know the story of the revolution. How do I know that? Because I didn't really know the story. I forgot most of what I learned in fifth grade or eighth grade. It is vital. Vital. It could not be more important that we all know the story. If you know the story, you know the details, you know the heroes, you know the background, it will change you. And America will be able to sustain ourselves as a free people. Period. So this is not knowing this information is not extra credit. It's not for history buffs. If you're any kind of American, you need to know this. And if you stuck a microphone in anybody's face in Main street of America in 1960, everybody knew this stuff. It's gone out of the culture. So I said, I just want to write a very compelling, very readable, fun gallop through our history. You know, the run up to Lexington and Concord. So, you know, starting with the Stamp act and all that crazy stuff and Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill and all the way through to Yorktown. And in the course of doing that, Glenn, as I told you, I was astonished. Astonished at what I discovered. Everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked, it's been hidden from us, okay? Because the secular nonsense narrative that's been pushed and pushed and pushed, that all the founders were deists. Baloney, folks. Baloney is the only polite word I could think of on such short notice. Absolute garbage. Vile lies. Washington was no deist. What a joke. What a lie. These were men of profound Christian faith who set about doing something that had never been done since the Israelites were in the Sinai wilderness, where they left Pharaoh and left Egypt and looked directly to God without an earthly king. We're going to govern ourselves. And this is what the founders were trying to do. And all of those heroes, John Adams, Samuel Adams, they all understood this is what we're doing. And it was a. It was. It was a spiritual thing. It was an amazing thing. They wanted to bring the Bible into government. How can we create a government based on what the Bible would allow us to do? I mean, that's just the tip of the iceberg. I was so overwhelmed by. By the explicitly Christian nature of what was going on. So I said, I'm not gonna write a book. It's not a Christian book. It's an American. It's a book of American history. It's our story. But everywhere you look, this narrative comes out. It is inescapable. And I was really overwhelmed. I said, I have to try to not write about it too much because people are gonna think, oh, it's a Christian book. No, this is a book for anybody in America to know our story. But it's kind of not what most of us have heard. And shame on those who have been pushing this French Enlightenment, secular nonsense narrative. It's preposterous.

Couple of things. We have a letter from George Washington, and in this letter, he's not quoting the scriptures. He's not saying, you know, in the book of. He's not saying any of that. He's just writing to somebody his thoughts. And in this one letter, I think it's 24 different scriptures are quoted without him quoting it. It's just part of his language. It's just. It's. He's so steeped in it. That's his language.
- [52:22]
Eric Metaxas
There you go.
- [52:23]
Glenn Beck
When people say that they're deists, look at the number of them. George Washington is chief among them. Look at the number of them that say, I saw the miracle this was a miracle. A deist does not believe in miracles. So that's your chief red herring there. I mean, it's like, okay, that's absolutely a lie, because a deist cannot believe in miracles.
- [52:50]
Eric Metaxas
No. It is so ridiculous. And again, I didn't set out to tell that story, but in telling the story of our revolution, that's the story. And it just comes out.
- [53:00]
Glenn Beck
It is.
- [53:02]
Eric Metaxas
And by the way, I said it before. But it is our duty to know this. That's why I wrote this book, because I looked around, I said, is there a book that I could just say, here, it's all in here? There really wasn't. And I said, we need a book. This is our two 50th. This is our last exit before the toll. We the people need to understand how our government works, where our liberties come from, that every. All of our founders understood. Our liberties come from God. Many people in the US Senate today don't know that all this stuff is vital. But again, it comes across in the stories of sacrifice. It's just, you know, you can't help but be moved by these figures. These are some of the greatest figures in the history of the world, some of the greatest accomplishments. Some of it is funny. I mean, they're funny stories, but these were beautiful people and everybody needs to know this. So I just hope that it's, you know, that it's readable. I mean, that was my.
- [53:55]
Glenn Beck
Give me the story. Give me the story. Of course it is. Give me the story that when you found. You went. This changes me.
- [54:05]
Eric Metaxas
Well, there are so many. And that's like the cliche, right? There's so many. I can't think of one. I mean, honestly, I'll tell you this. Samuel Adams, again, every American should know he's the father of the American Revolution. This man is the father of the revolution. I won't give you details because we have no time, but this man on the eve of signing the Declaration of Independence. So it's officially signed August 2, 1776. On the eve of that, he gives a speech to Congress. So Member of Congress Emily Emmons give a speech to Congress on the steps of Independence hall in Philadelphia, speaking to Congress. What does he say? He says, we have this day restored the sovereign capital S. The sovereign. We have declared independence from the earthly king, the monarch, King George the Third. And we have declared dependence on the sovereign capital S. God. That's how we govern ourselves. And the reason the book is titled Revolution and not the American Revolution is American is. Is redundant. There's only Been one successful revolution. The French Revolution is a joke that ends in a bloodbath and a dictator who crowns himself emperor. They got rid of the king. They got an emperor dictator. We are the only people privileged to have overseen the revolution in world history that changes everything. It is vital we understand this had never done and been never done in the history of the world. And when it was done, they understood we are under God and every one of them, George Washington, John Adams, they clearly understood and wrote that if we behave righteously, God will bless our efforts in the sacred cause. If we don't, he won't. So we will not stoop to the barbarism of the British. The British were barbaric monsters. I, I, that's something I never understood at all. And it's all through the story. They are monsters. People would, Americans would surrender. They would bayonet them to death. And it goes on and on and on. They, if you want to. Who are the good guys? Who are the bad guys? It is open and shut. Those are the bad guys. These are the guys. The Americans who said, we will not cede the moral high ground. We will behave in a dignified, godly way, that God will bless our efforts. That's a covenant relationship which goes back to the Old Testament. They all understood this, especially Washington. And I have to say, I never heard that, Never heard that in school. You'll never hear it on pbs. This is very important that we understand who we are and how we got here. And, you know, that's what the book is about.
- [56:32]
Glenn Beck
Did you cover it all? I, I find this fact fascinating. And I, I've not read this anywhere where it was highlighted. I, yeah, you can find it easily separately. But, you know, they say that Americans, you know, that African Americans didn't play a role in this or, you know, whatever. I think the case could be made that the most important roles. Crispus Addicts was the first to die. Bunker Hill, He's a black man. First one to be killed in the revolution is a black man. Then you have Peter Salem at Lexington, I think. I can't remember which one of the big battles we are about to be completely wiped out. Okay, there we're losing the battle. And if they continue to advance, they'll wipe out our entire army. They can. They start to advance. Peter Salem, a black man, grabs his gun and targets the captain and takes out their leader. And it was such an audacious move. It stops the army. They go into kind of chaos for a few minutes, which allows us to escape. So we're saved by a black man.
- [57:48]
Eric Metaxas
And then, I mean, one of the stories. And I know we won't have time today. Maybe you can have me back. Because one of the things that blew my mind was the Boston Puritans. Okay? John Adams, Samuel Adams, James Otis Jr. Adams says that his argument in court in 1761 was the opening scene of the revolution. They were all so dramatically anti slavery that it just. It just blows your mind that we kind of act. Oh, the founders were pro slavery. They were so anti slavery, that story. I'm, again, my book's not about that, but I mentioned that. It is incredible, the Christian nature of the ones leading. This is so dramatic. And they were so bitterly anti slavery. They had to swallow that. The evil pill in 1787 of, okay, if we want a union, I guess we have to allow this, but we hate it. You know that you've talked about that a lot, but that's. People need to know this stuff. It's why I wrote the book. And I will shamelessly beg people, this is the opening week. Please, if you're thinking of buying the book, please buy it immediately. Because there's some other books out there. I don't want to mention their names. Written by people. I don't want to mention their names. Jill Biden that are, you know, at the top of the charts. By God's grace. I would love to make it too big to rig so that my book is at the top of some of these lists. And I say that shamelessly because this is America's story. You'll see when you read it.

She's gonna talk to us a little bit about what's happening at CBS with 60 Minutes. It's a crazy story. There is a new Gallup poll that is out that shows American support for LGBTQ plus. These issues are dropping in the polls. 65% of Americans still support same sex sex marriage, but that is down six points. Moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relationships has fallen to 62%. That's the lowest 10 since 2016. Support for gender transition has dropped even more. Only 38% say it's now morally okay. 57% say it is absolutely wrong. Republicans are leading the decline. 37% supporting same sex marriage, 5% accepting gender transition. Independents had also become much less supportive. Democrats views have stayed mostly the same. You know, no one thought we would see the fall of Roe versus Wade, but we did. And the writing on the wall for gay marriage, it may already be up on the wall. Many Americans feel like they were sold a bill of goods about marriage in general. They believe, you know, what the activists pushed, that marriage was just really about love. And I'm talking about straight marriage too. You know how you stop people from loving one another and being together? You can. We don't want to. But then the generation of people pushing for gay marriage grew up. They got married, they have kids, and everything has changed. And they realized that marriage is much more than love. It is also about family and commitment and honor. It is about procreation of the species of a stable society, which means getting married isn't just about making adults happy and fulfilled. It's about what children need and what children have a right to. And I think a lot of people, when they saw a baby, you know, ripped from birth from a poor woman's arms to give to two wealthy gay men who bought that baby, that's not what I signed up for. We didn't sign up for a generation of, of people who don't know their fathers or never have a mother, all in the name of love. You know, when you signed on to the lgb, that was probably easier. And then the T came screaming down the pike and you're like, wait a minute, wait, wait, what? And then it turned into chemically sterilizing children and cutting off healthy body parts and, and what we're doing to women's sports and all of this stuff, and I think people have just said, you know, enough. Nope, nope, nope, nope. Not going to do it. You know, and the receipts for refining a redefining marriage are still coming in. And I'm not talking about gay, I'm talking about straight marriage, no fault divorce, which came a long time before gay marriage and convinced it's okay to leave marriage because we feel like it. I mean, sometimes there are really legitimate reasons. And that's not what I'm talking about. I remember when I told my grandmother I was getting a divorce, she really didn't like my wife too much. And when I called her, I didn't think it would be a hard conversation. And my grandmother said, excuse me? And I said, what? And she said, you, of all people, I thought you would be the one that would make it. And I said, well, we just don't. We're just. It's not good. And, you know, we're just. She's like, let me ask you something. Do you think your grandfather and I liked each other all those years? I was like, well, wait, please don't crush this. Yes, I think you did. And she's like, no, we loved each other. We loved each other, but there were many times in our marriage it would have been easier to walk away. But when you get married, you make a commitment and you stay married and you get through it because all things will pass and it's worth it and it's right. And I was like, oh, my gosh. I. Grandma didn't talk to me. I don't know if she didn't talk to me or I just didn't want to call her for a while because she. I mean, she just read me the riot act. And you know what? She was right. She's right. You don't leave because your marriage isn't making you happy. Marriage isn't about who people are attracted to. You know, that's. And that is the issue for many Americans. I'm attracted to them. I love them. This is about marriage as a bedrock for any society that expects to survive marriage. And we have been redefining it, not just for lgbtq, we just keep redefining it to make it easier, easier and easier and easier. Marriage was a word with meaning, and we've changed the meaning and now we're dealing with the consequences. In our society, people aren't getting more homophobic. They just want a society where families flourish and kids are given a mom and a dad. How can we claim to care about love if we don't care about that? Things are changing. Things are changing. So gonna be a bumpy ride. Buckle up. All right, let me tell you about relief factor. Dogs have an extraordinary talent for making us feel guilty. You can give them a nice bed, big backyard, regular walks, more affection than most people receive in a month. And the second you sit down with a sandwich, they look up at you with those eyes like, you really have been neglecting me for a while. But a sandwich would really just a piece of that sandwich would make that all go. It's an impressive skill. It is. The thing is, we all want to take care of our dogs, but most of us never really question what goes into their bowl every day. What makes rough greens so great is you know what's going in there. It's a nutritional supplement. It's designed to add the things of whole food nutrients that are missing from processed pet food. Means you keep feeding your, your dog the food that you're already doing, but you add something, a supplement in to help with their overall health. Think about the joy that your dog brings to your life. Just giving them the right nutrition is the reasonable thing to do. Get a jumpstart trial bag. Get that cover, get that covered. All you have to do is just take care of the shipping@ruff.greens.com feed it to your dog. Your dog's going to love it and you'll see a difference almost immediately.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have a lot to cover today. I'm doing an extra hour on the show for insiders. If you're a member of the Torch, getting our first real big blackboard show. I'm going to explain what is happening. I think there is a new phase that we're in. When Donald Trump came in, we were in this phase where everything was moving so rapidly. And it seems like things are kind of getting bogged down just a little bit. And, you know, especially with the war overseas. And I was just over in Europe and I met with some leaders over in Europe. And I will tell you, I think there's something, there's something coming, there's something different that is happening. And I've been working on this for a while, and I want to show you the world as I, as I believe it is. And I'll back it up with all of the facts and show you what I think you should prepare for. That'll be at noon today Eastern. We'll do it live right after this broadcast. If you're not a member of Torch, make sure you become one today.

Cheryl, welcome to the program.

Very segmented organization. And there was somebody at some level that did not want me contributing to 60 Minutes. I did. When, when there was 60 Minutes, too, before the Dan Rather scandal, Deep Six, that show. I was working on two pieces for that program and then it got canceled. And then, yeah, never, never worked on 60 Minutes.
- [70:36]
Glenn Beck
Well, I want to talk to you about 60 Minutes and Barry Weiss and what is happening because Barry is trying to change the culture in cbs. I think she's doing a great job for the first time ever or at least in a very long time. I actually will look at stories from CBS News and I'll give it a I'll at least give it a read where before it was just like, I don't I don't believe anything they say, and I don't agree with everything, but I don't expect to agree with everything that a journalist is going to write. I just would like to fair, you know, reporting. So she. The story is she just appointed a new producer for 60 Minutes, and Scott Pelley, who, you know, one of the lead guys there, he said, this guy's going to kill 60 minutes, blah, blah, blah. There's a big showdown, you know, I guess, in the newsroom, and he's fired. And now Pelly is upset and making a big deal. The left is upset about all of this. I mean, Ben Rhodes came out and he was like, I can't believe. This is just, this is incredible. Ben, talk to your brother. Your brother took Pelly off of the anchor job because apparently, I mean, I don't know this, but at least David Rhodes had real issues with Pelly as well. Do you have any insight on any of this?

Cheryl Atkinson
I do. I mean, Scott Pelly was not a popular anchor in terms of his skill as an anchor as well as his personality. And I can't explain why he persisted in the chair for some years anyway, because, gosh, quite a while before they removed him, I was told by a level above David Rose, that they were trying to fix what they called the Scott Pelley problem. And I don't know what keeps somebody in place when they think there's an issue. But one of the issues they had with him was. Was, as it was told to me, he takes his managing editor role too seriously. He was interfering with the correspondent stories in a way that was not productive. And the veterans were complaining. And longtime CBS names that you would recognize were complaining to the high executives about this. My experience was when they named him, I was told by higher ups, this new show without Katie Couric with Scott Pelley is going to be all about what you do, your investigative reporting even more so. I was already having a great career there, but they said now with Scott Pelley there, boy, this show is going to be all about what you do. And the very first week, the very first investigative piece, one of the best ones I think I ever did, that I offered them, he censored, never aired. And that was the pattern. And the story, for me at least, of Scott Pelley at the anchor desk,
- [73:20]
Glenn Beck
was that the Boeing story, the Dreamliner story?
- [73:24]
Cheryl Atkinson
No, Boeing was one of it. That came later. The first one was a story expose I did on the travel group called People to People that, as it turns out, was luring high school students into it was nothing more than a travel agency out of the auspices of a nonprofit using the Dwight Eisenhower name and his daughter or granddaughter's reputation to convince children in high school that they had been chosen to be ambassadors to. On these amazing global trips, when in fact they were just using lists. These kids weren't honored or nominated by their teachers, as they claimed. And they were getting kids to go on these trips and the kids were getting injured. Some of them were getting killed. It was all a big bait.
- [74:12]
Glenn Beck
Why was that? Why did he. Did he say why he canceled that or.
- [74:17]
Cheryl Atkinson
I never did. One of my producers listen, I even found a member of Congress had sent letters out under. Or there were names out under her name advocating for this group telling students, you should go. And I learned and exposed that they had forged her name. And I even got her on camera saying so. Which she didn't originally want to do. It was a great story. It was never explained to me. We call it, my producer and I at the time, the deaths by a thousand cuts. He would. He would want to change this or want to change that. Well, let's not mention the deaths. Well, let's not do this. Rewrite it again. And you started to understand. They would never say there was anything wrong with the story. Quite the opposite. They would say, this is a brilliant story. This is a great story. We're going to save it for next week. Just do this, do that. And it would never air. And that was the story of people. I don't know if it was people connected at a higher level that didn't want these stories to air that were outside the lobbying cbs.
- [75:17]
Glenn Beck
He says that what Barry is doing is. Is censoring the stories. And I think he said that management had instructed me to inject lies into my reporting. Yada, yada, yada. Do you believe any of that?
- [75:37]
Cheryl Atkinson
No, I don't. I believe that most likely, based on my experience, they were trying to make the stories more balanced and fair and the culture among some at cbs. And I think it's gotten worse since I left, was not to do so. And I think they don't understand or came to not understand the very basic tenets of journalism, which I worked really hard. Not that I always understood this, but I really tried to grow and understand and listen to criticism over the years. Showing the other side of a story, even if you strongly believe in one side you're telling, does not weaken the story, it strengthens the story. Even if you're a liberal and you're telling a liberal perspective, can liberals in the audience actually appreciate knowing what the other side of the argument is. And I think Bari Weiss is simply trying to tug CBS News back a little bit closer to the center. But the inmates have been running that asylum for a long time, and they're not going to go down quietly, you know, down this new path.
- [76:38]
Glenn Beck
Is it too late to save the 60 minutes? I mean, I read that they were looking to put things now, you know, online. I mean, it seems like they have a real plan to bring it into the, you know, 21st century and revive it. And I don't think losing some of these, you know, names forever that are associated with television is not. I don't necessarily think that's bad. If they can get the formula right, which I always thought 60 Minutes was always very fair. I mean, you know, you were on 60 Minutes, you were in trouble because they had the goods on you and it was balanced. You know, they would. They would say, look, the other side says this, and they would really do their homework. I think there's a craving for that kind of work. But can 60 Minutes do it?
- [77:30]
Cheryl Atkinson
I think so. I think it's got a huge name. I think the name 60 minutes is bigger than any personality that's been there in recent years. It hasn't been the 60 Minutes that we knew, Glenn, since they lost all the originals. So it's always been something that's in transition in the past 10, 20, 25 years. And, yes, I think the name survives the personalities. And they still do some, as I heard someone note, many of their stories that are unrelated to these political slants that you're talking about are great stories. They still do good stories and can continue to do great journalism with other people, you know, other producers and other reporters. There's not a short supply of people who want to do great journalism. They're just not allowed to do that the way they used to be at the networks.
- [78:18]
Glenn Beck
If you got a call today from Barry or the new producer and they said, we want you to come back to 60 Minutes, or why don't you come back to CBS and to do 60 Minutes, would you even consider it?
- [78:32]
Cheryl Atkinson
I couldn't now because I'm in contract. I'm doing at least one more year of my TV program, number one. Number two, I did get a call about a year ago asking about my availability for a leadership role at cbs, cnn, Washington Post, Berkeley School of Graduate Journalism and abc. You know, they're all, this is what's talking to me, but good. They want to. I'm talking about the corporate executive level. Not the newsroom. As I said, they want to tug their organizations back closer to the middle. They know they have a problem. But as I told the person that I was speaking to about these opportunities, this is going to take somebody, I hope Barry Weiss can do it, that can stand up and then get the support as the as. Internally, she is murdered, you know, symbolically by those who don't want to change. She's got to stand firm and continue to get the support of the higher ups despite the publicity that will be generated against her and everything else. That's a tough job that I didn't think I could do time wise and everything else. I hope she can. And I would love to do stories for 60 minutes, you know, in some capacity if I weren't committed to something else, because I do. I do believe in them and the mission and the program is awesome and I think it will survive. And I think they're thinking about the way to make it survive and be better, which is great.
- [80:05]
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, I. I was shocked to see Barry Weiss go to CBS and all the moves that I've seen her make. I just think she's doing incredible work. I don't agree with everything, obviously, but I think she's doing incredible work, yeoman's work. I mean, I don't know how she. I don't know how she does it every day. You know, there's. I know you, you know, this feeling. There's a way you walk into a room every single day where you know all your coworkers hate your guts. I worked at cnn. I know that feeling. It's hard. That is really hard.
- [80:43]
Cheryl Atkinson
That's right. She's got to be tough, tough, tough. And I don't know the man that they appointed to lead 60 minutes, but just on paper, he sounds like a great choice. He's just not vested in the old system and the old people in a way that makes him more objective about the decisions he's going to make for the good of the show and nothing else. You know, there's no other baggage, you know, dragging him down, making him make decisions that might not be the best for what he thinks is the program.
- [81:11]
Glenn Beck
Cheryl, thank you so much. Always good to talk to you. All my best.
- [81:14]
Cheryl Atkinson
Thanks, Brian. Thanks.

You bet. Cheryl Atkinson, investigative reporter, host of Full Measure. You can find her on our website@cheryl atkinson.com or on x @cheryl spelled with a Y and an S. S H A R, Y L. I guess I should spell it. Cheryl Atkinson at. X. Okay. Let me tell you about our sponsor. One of the biggest myths in real estate is that, you know, a house sells itself. No, it really doesn't. People see a few sold signs and start thinking, you know, process is pretty easy. I could do that. Put the house on the market, wait a few days, sign some papers, you're done. That's not the way it works. The difference between a great agent and a good agent is usually what happens on the day the house goes on the market. It's everything that happens before and after, but you only notice it on that one day. It's knowing the right price. How do I price this? It's knowing how to negotiate. It's knowing how to get this message in front of the people who want houses just like yours and how to keep the deal moving forward even when everybody starts getting nervous. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust to connect you with agents who have proven that they know what they're doing because buying or selling a home is too important to leave to chance. So check out the real estate agents that we have vetted and found for you. I don't charge you anything for it. Just interview them. Go to real estate agentsitrust.com we'll hook you up with one of the best agents, if not the best agent in the area that we believe you find out for yourself. Interview them. I think you'll see a difference. It's real estate agents I trust dot com. A smarter way to find a real estate agent. Real estate Agents I trust dot com. We don't need to agree on everything, just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder. Glenn Beck is back in a minute. After show. I'm just up at the chalkboard now trying to put together some stuff.

There's something that, no, I don't think anybody has caught yet. I'm hoping our administration has caught this. But there is a turn in the air. We're in a different phase of whatever it is we're all living through right now. And I'm going to put this up on the chalkboard. I'm going to take you through it today. It'll be about an hour and it'll happen about an hour from now only@glenn beck.com torch if you want to see this, I highly recommend it. You will be way ahead of everybody else.

It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs. But you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody.

I wanted to get Vicki Paladino on because she was on with me when I was in New York City and I just absolutely love this woman. She has, she doesn't care. She just doesn't care anymore. She is a councilwoman in the New York in New York City and you got to be tough. You got to say it like it is. And she does. She has come out and said this. Adam Hisham Hamawi is the guy who has just been won the primary at least for the 12th district in New Jersey. She said this guy, Ken, no, he cannot serve. He's been tied to terrorism, etc. Etc. And she said we can't have this, we can't have this. And she's right. I don't know how you're going to give this guy a security clearance at all. But she says he can't be allowed to be a congressman. I'm going to talk to her about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about American Financing. For years, people, you know, people have been told that equity in their homes, most important of their finances, financial assets. And it's true. The problem is that for a lot of homeowners that equity just sits there on paper. You know it exists, but you have no idea how to put it to work for you. That's why American Financing Smart Equity loan is working is worth looking into if you're carrying high interest debt especially. But you don't, you know, you don't want to reset your loan, right? You need the Smart Equity loan. It allows qualified homeowners to get access to the equity, some of it without resetting the refinancing of their mortgage. I mean you probably have a historically low mortgage rate right now. You do not want to give that up. But the Smart Equity loan may provide a way for you to access some of the cash for consolidating debt or other financial goals while keeping that first mortgage in place. No upfront fees. To find out if you qualify for it, talk to somebody about it. Salary based consultant. The experts who are paid to help you save. Right. They don't get a bonus from any bank or any for selling anything. They're salaried.

- [90:32]
Vicki Paladino
Good morning, Glenn. How are you? I'm good, thank you.
- [90:35]
Glenn Beck
Great. I just absolutely. So so, Vicki, I, I read this story earlier this week and I said this guy can't be in Congress. How is he going to get how, how are we going to give him any kind of security clear because of his past. Fill us in on what you know of him and what your thoughts are.
- [90:57]
Vicki Paladino
All right. I'm going to read a little, if you don't mind. I want to run down only because I want to be extremely accurate. This guy is known to al Qaeda as an al Qaeda associate, has a long relationship as the Mastermind of the 1993 World Trade center bombings. Both before and after the bombing, he worked with the blind sheikh. Okay. Including defending him in court. He traveled to bosnia in the 1990s and worked as an al Qaeda front, worked with an al Qaeda front group after the 10 after the October 7 attacks. He traveled then to Gaza, where he worked in a hospital, which was above a tunnel where the leader of Hamas was found. Now, in a sane world, this would be totally disqualifying. Then he joined the United States army and he worked as a surgeon. How is this possible? All right. So now, Glenn, we've got a Democratic Party who has totally given up on this for so many different reasons. First of all, they're weak. Second of all, did they adapt the attitude that why fight it? We may as well join it. But this guy is in the 12th district in New Jersey. That's the Princeton district. That is where my ivy tower, I call them ivy tower liberals. That's where they live. This is a very, very wealthy part of New Jersey, and he won it. And because it's so blue, chances are he's going to maintain a seat in the United States Congress. But there's other things I want to talk about. Let me give you some time. Good.
- [92:51]
Glenn Beck
No, no. I just want to know, so what do you do about that?
- [92:55]
Vicki Paladino
Well, I think we could start first with the Republicans making this an extreme serious case while they run for these midterm elections. Republicans need to understand that this needs to become part of the everyday conversations. We are allowing terrorists into the Congress, into our congressional body. And are you aware, and I'm sure the listeners are not aware, I wasn't aware until yesterday that if the Democrats succeed in taking over the House in the midterm elections, they will appoint this guy. If the Republicans maintain their by one or two seats, if we hold this, we do not have to appoint this guy. He does not have to come in and sit in Congress. I don't think many people know that, but we have the ability not to seat him.
- [93:54]
Glenn Beck
I, I have to tell you what, you know, I just got back from Europe and I saw how this is happening to Europe where, you know, you have these Islamists that are just taking over the cities, taking over, you know, the parliaments, and everybody's just turning a blind eye to it. I can't believe on the 20th year of the 25th anniversary of 911 New Jersey, Todd Beamer's home district.
- [94:22]
Vicki Paladino
Crazy.
- [94:23]
Glenn Beck
We've just, I mean, I said earlier today, Vicki, you could make a case that Osama bin Laden has either won or is winning.
- [94:36]
Vicki Paladino
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I couldn't agree with you more on that. When we look at our Constitution, it's not a suicide pact, our Constitution, and yet we have people who don't want to challenge this in any way, shape or form that sits in government right now. How is this possible? I'm going to tell you something. The people are getting furious. Who are the people? The people are you and the people in me and the people like us. We're not going to tolerate much more of this, Glenn. This is, we're in a very dangerous place. And I think.
- [95:11]
Glenn Beck
What does that mean to you, Vicki? What does that mean to you? You're not going to tolerate much more of this. What does that mean?
- [95:16]
Vicki Paladino
Well, you know what? There's going to be problems. We have here in New York City, Zoran as our mayor. And we're watching what's happening. I mean, for example, Zoran, appointed to that one of the unindicted co conspirators of the 1993 World Trade center bombing, sits as our chief counsel right now in City Hall. This is what's going on in New York City. He's canceled block parties and permits for block parties to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this great nation that we Live on, live in. And I have to say, people are getting more than fed up. We're watching prayer mats getting laid out in front of the very first firehouse that responded on 9 11. And this is mockery. They are mocking us. And you made a very good point when you said, in a sense, are they winning? Well, right now, if you look around, you know, the Republicans are holding on tight, as tight as they can, and yet we can't pay. We cannot pass the SAFE Act. How is that possible, Glenn? How can we actually find asking for voter ID an invasion of somebody's privacy? Why didn't this pass months ago with flying colors? Why? People are weak. They are willing to accept this and use our Constitution and what our fourth. You know, our forefathers fought for and understood and had foresight to see what we could not see until we're in it right now. This is bizarre. This is. We're not existing in a sane world, Glenn. This is insanity.
- [97:11]
Glenn Beck
I know, but thank God I'm not living where you are. I mean, I. You're. You're Europe and City Council of New York City. When I saw. Go ahead.
- [97:23]
Vicki Paladino
I'm saying anybody who speaks out as I have, look, I feel myself as a truth teller. People need to know an educated voter is the best voter that we've got, and they're able to make decisions. You know, those that are so far left and off a cliff, you can't bother with those folks. You got to hit the Democrats and the independents who are equally as fed up as we are here in New York anyway. We have to go after those folks. We have to educate.
- [97:52]
Glenn Beck
You feel that. You feel that there are. I mean, because there's a great debate happens almost every day within my own audience. They're like, glenn, there's no Democrat left. That is. They're all crazy. And I'm like, no, I don't think that's true. I think they just have. If. Okay, given up. Go ahead.
- [98:11]
Vicki Paladino
Given up not showing up to polls to vote the way they should. You know, we have to. In my district, for example, It's a District 19, I am in charge of 175,000 people. This is an 8 to 1 Democrat seat, and I am the first Republican that any of them have ever voted for. Blue Dog Democrats said, vicki, I'm voting for you. And I won out of my three times running, two times was a landslide. First time, they didn't know me so well then I put myself in the belly of the beast and I educated the Democrats and it was very Important that they understand that there's a sense of common sense still left. But these young people who have taken over our city, that's a different story because they're only passersby. They're not people who are going to put their roots here and stay here. We've got a vested interest in this city. This guy won. This young man has won. And much to our dismay, he puts on that big stupid grin and he's winning over people. Every single day. Every single day he's winning over people.
- [99:32]
Glenn Beck
Well, I hope you're right. I can't understand how, you know, the Blue Dog Democrat, the person that was the average working guy cannot relate to your average college professor. And the Republicans have always been seen as well. They're in with big business. Big business is a piece of cake compared to the college professors, if you want to talk about people of that are in and out of touch. But the big business is now all on the left. All big special interest is on the left. And you have, you know, all the elites, all the eggheads on the left. And I don't understand why more people don't see. No, no, this is the working class. This is the average person against the elites. And they're pretty much all on one side right now.
- [100:20]
Vicki Paladino
You know, we also have a media, this is media driven propaganda. Just like in communism. They don't hear the other side, our side. They're focused on one thing. Orange man bad. Trump bad. Republican bad. They're going to do this to you, they're going to do that to you. And now when you back up that propaganda with the gazillions of different forms of media that people have to watch and you've got the likes of Hassan, what's his name? Yeah, yeah, yeah, hiker. And you've got these other folks that have got multi billion, you know, million hundreds of millions of followers. Then you got your average ABC for us here. Abc, NBC, cbs. You know, the average Joe comes home from work and they're, they're flipping on their TV to watch the 6 o' clock news news here in New York. And they're listening to cbs, NBC, our regular network news. They're not going right away to cable. They're there, they might be in their kitchen preparing dinner. They're not watching Fox or they're not watching you or they're not watching Newsmax or any of the News Nation, any of the center. They're listening to just regular news that they've trusted for years and years and years and years. And now you're hearing your trusted news people telling you all false information, totally false information. There might be a dabble or two of truth to it, but they, they don't elongate on it. They, they stay focused on 30 second news bites or 30 second news bites. And people are brainwashed every single day. You pick up the newspaper, you've got the, you've got the New York Times, you've got the Daily News here in New York, you've got your other newspapers. This is what people are reading. So you have voices like yours, voices like mine, other voices very similar to ours who are fighting left and right, pardon the pun, to try to get this message out. So we've got a big election coming up in New York for, for the governor. And I'm going to give Bruce Blakeman a big plug now. And I'm going to tell everybody that if we do not replace the New York State governor, this race in November and we don't cut the snake's head off, we are in serious trouble. She has taken a knee to Zo Ran Hochul. Now, we've watched it for the past year and we're going to only watch it get worse and worse.
- [103:05]
Glenn Beck
We'll have to have him on. What's his name again, please?
- [103:08]
Vicki Paladino
Bruce Blakeman.

Hey, just a programming note on a couple of things. I am joining Moms for Liberty aboard the legendary USS Midway. And you are invited to come as we celebrate 250 years of America's freedom and honor the heroes that made it possible. I'm giving the keynote like it did up in New York at the Statue of Liberty. This time we're doing a special tribute to D Day and there'll be fireworks over San Diego Bay. It's happening this weekend, this Saturday. Tickets are still available. You can get them at moms for liberty.org moms for liberty.org A sighting of Glenn Beck in California is as rare as, honestly, Bigfoot. It just, it just doesn't happen. I cannot remember the last time I did something publicly in California. And I always, I want to go to California because I love the California conservatives because they're just like, water, please, water. I remember I did an event in San Francisco once at the Masonic Theater. 3,000 seats, sold out in a heartbeat. And I go there and it was like the happiest group of people because everyone's like, we're safe in here. We're safe. We can all talk. We can actually be ourselves in here. And it was great.

want to talk to you a little bit about what I sense coming our way. There is a change that is afoot and I, I felt it when I was in Europe and I feel it now every day. I'm watching the news and I think the maps could be changing soon. At least the maps of alliances are going to change and everything that we've grown up saying, yeah, this is normal, I think is going to change. And we're in this phase where the clock matters an awful lot. I'll show you, I mean I'm going to lay this out on the chalkboard. The Vietnam Memorial, a clock, a DeLorean and ammo shells. When you understand those things, believe it or not, I'll bring it all together and you'll be like, oh my gosh. And you will see the world in a completely different way. I'm doing that at noon today. That's noon Eastern. That currently is about 34 minutes away. And it'll only be@glennbeck.com torch glenn beck.com torch it's going to ask, it's going to last, I don't know because kind of ad libbing around it but I think about an hour. And so join us for that. You will understand the world in a completely different way. It is a deep dive on what is coming next. A great special that you don't want to miss today right after, after this show. Give you five minutes but just get online. Glenn beck.com torch Join us now as we celebrate America's 250 and relight the promise for America's next 250 Glenn beck.com torch I love telling you about Mercury One because I am so incredibly proud of the work that they have done. Our job is to restore the human spirit and that means walking with people through the hard part of life that nobody sees. You know, when they're still to place, they're cleaning up, they try to sweep up their lives after a disaster. And we don't come in and do it. We come in and support the people who are doing it. We look for the local heroes, the people in their own communities that are changing their own communities, restoring churches, making sure a family, you know, isn't left to face loss and chaos all by themselves. And we do it all independent of government, no grants, no bureaucracy, nothing. Just people helping people. If we want our government to do less than we have to do more. If we want to save our country, we have to save ourselves in the best way. You know, I love Ben Franklin. He said what was the American religion? American religion that we believe there is a God, that he will judge us, us, hold us accountable for the things we do. So we should serve him. And the best way to serve God is to serve our fellow human being. That's what we do at Mercury One. Will you join us in that effort? Mercury1.org give $15 or more to our Maximum Impact Fund now. Mercury1.org. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. There's a lot of stuff going on that I need you to have perspective on and, and you know, my job is to try to keep you ahead. You know, every, every show will tell you what's happening today. I tried to give you perspective on what is happening today, but more importantly, focus on what's over the horizon tomorrow. So you're not surprised by it and you have time to prepare for impact. And there is something coming. And, you know, I've had my, my view of this Iraq war, and whether you like it or not, we're in it. And the last thing we can do. Is walk away. How do you walk away? What message are you sending? Yesterday in Congress, what was that vote? 215 to 200.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Okay, so four Republicans sided with the Democrats to, to say the President has to stop this, you know, stop the hostilities. It's going to go to the Senate, but the President will just veto it. It's really nothing. But it is really important when you understand what is actually happening. So let me go through a couple of things that happened today and see if I can give you some perspective on it. Earlier this week, Trump, you know, was yelling at Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone, and there are some people that were saying, that's crazy. We should arrest the person that leaked this, blah, blah, blah. No, it wasn't a leak. I can, I almost guarantee you, and now I think I can guarantee you, you. It wasn't a leak that came from Trump. He didn't mind that out. Trump is his own guy, and he does not mind when. I mean, he'll say he said it with the people standing right next to him. Yeah, I gave him hell on this one. I gotta tell you. He's a bozo on this one, but we get along. He does not have a problem saying that. So he and Bibi Netanyahu are on the phone and he just starts swearing up a storm at BB Netanyahu and telling him, you're not going to do these things. You're not, you're not, you're not, you're not. Here he is in an interview with the New York Post, Miranda Devine talking about this terse phone call. Listen, that one. Axios reported that you had a phone
- [113:03]
Cheryl Atkinson
call with Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, in which you were angry with him.
- [113:08]
Glenn Beck
You said, are you effing crazy? What are you effing doing? I helped you stay out of jail.
- [113:15]
Vicki Paladino
Is that true?
- [113:15]
Cheryl Atkinson
Did you speak to him in those terms?
- [113:17]
Glenn Beck
I did. I wouldn't say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at
- [113:22]
Eric Metaxas
his constantly fighting with Lebanon.
- [113:27]
Glenn Beck
You Know, at some point I said, maybe we got to stop this, we got to stop it. But I have a very good relationship. We've done well, done well together. He always says we could never have
- [113:39]
Eric Metaxas
done it, but everybody knows that we could have never done it without the United States. But we've, we've, I've worked very well together.
- [113:45]
Glenn Beck
I like Bibi a lot here. He goes on to say that he's a good wartime president and he and Bibi is a good wartime prime minister. And that's a really interesting thing to say, that Donald Trump considers himself a wartime president because he is, he is. And I don't mean that just literally. It is also figuratively. But so I don't believe, and I said this at the time, don't believe that this is, this is a leak. Don't go down that rabbit hole. This is not a leak. This is Donald Trump. This is the way he deals with things. And then he said he was asked about the ceasefire, you know, because I read again, I got up this morning, I read and yet another story. Looks like maybe this weekend we'll have a deal on the ceasefire. We're not going to get a deal on a ceasefire. It's not going to happen. Okay? It's not going to happen. You will understand why in about 25 minutes from now, because I'm going to do a special at torch glenn beck.com/torch, you are going to understand exactly what's happening and what is coming next. I, I feel very confident that this is what's coming next. And I'll show you all the evidence that points to it. But we're not getting in a cease fire deal. But, you know, he said they've got a ceasefire now. And Miranda said, what, how, what is a ceasefire exactly? Can you def that? Listen to this. How do you define ceasefire? Pretty much the way it is. It's a different part of the world.
- [115:15]
Eric Metaxas
You know, I'd say in that part
- [115:16]
Glenn Beck
of the world, ceasefires when you're shooting
- [115:18]
Eric Metaxas
in a more moderate manner.
- [115:25]
Glenn Beck
What exactly is shooting in a more moderate manner? I'm not sure, but. Okay, let me give you one more breadcrumb here that will show you where I'm, I'm headed on our chalkboard here in about 20 minutes. I want to play a piece of audio that we found from the 1990s. This is the future IRGC leader, the Islamic Republican Guard, in the ones that are running everything now, supposedly in, in Iran. Listen to what he said their plan would be if they ever got into a war with the US in the 1990s. Listen, Hold on just a second. Hold on just a second. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Do we not translate this? This is all in.
- [116:26]
Cheryl Atkinson
Translate at the bottom screen. You don't know how to translate Farsi?
- [116:29]
Glenn Beck
I can't. No, I. I know. I don't. I don't speak Farsi.
- [116:33]
Cheryl Atkinson
Jason, Jason can translate.
- [116:34]
Glenn Beck
And can you translate? I can't see the screen. It's too small. Yeah.
- [116:41]
Jason
Do you want to play translate and me read it or.
- [116:43]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, play it and then you translate it.
- [116:44]
Jason
Okay, got it.
- [116:45]
Glenn Beck
Go ahead.
- [116:46]
Jason
So this allows for the possibility of eroding the war and prolonging it. We say this because the advantage is that our enemies, the superpowers, are looking to shorten their time in the war as much as possible. This shortening is for several reasons. One is because the economy cost of the Americans taking action in far off areas is really high. And another one of them is that casualties are not acceptable. They seek quick victories. And one of the advantages is that this creates political tensions within their country. That is, through this work, presidents are changed and in general, domestic political structures become tense due to the prolongation of the war.
- [117:35]
Cheryl Atkinson
It's a prophetic.
- [117:38]
Glenn Beck
Jason, Jason. Ricky, you've heard me talk about what I'm going to talk about today for days now, over a week, and I. We just got this today. Does that not prove everything that I'm going to say in today's special? Absolutely. Right.
- [118:00]
Jason
Yeah. It shows that there is a definite plan to combat the United States, but not just the United States, but the west in general. And by and large, that plant, this is something they've been working on, I would say, probably since 1979, how they continue this, and they know our system just, just as much as we are. They feel like as long as they stretch it. What he was saying was as long as we stretch this out for as long as possible, due to politics and public opinion, will eventually win because Americans in the west have no appetite to keep this up, to continue it, to see it through. And that's.
- [118:33]
Cheryl Atkinson
Have we been hated?
- [118:37]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yes and no. Donald Trump hasn't been baited. I just think that he thought he could win it faster than he is. And now, now he's seeing we can't collapse these guys economically. We can't collapse them from the inside, at least quickly. And so now he's sitting here with an enemy saying this. And it's a different ball game entirely. It's a different ballgame. And look at what they just said at that chalkboard, everything he was writing up on the chalkboard is what's happening right now. An election is coming. Presidential power could change. The Congress. He said that they would start to get weak. First, the people would get weak because of the economy. They wouldn't want any bodies, you know, piling up, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, they know us. We don't. We don't know them. They know us.
- [119:41]
Jason
I think one of the things that's really fascinating. It's fascinating. And I think one of the things that he was not talking about back in the 90s is how bad public opinion within Iran would be, you know, in 2026. It's. It's awful. It's been that way since the Obama administration. It's just. It's been on, you know, the very, very brink of explosion. And their people are not happy with them. The economic situation is disastrous. I don't know if they could have predicted how bad it would get. As it is now, the vast majority of their military is just gone. Did I tell you that I actually spoke to a Iranian defector when I was on my vacation in Italy? And I asked this person straight up, I said, and this person was young, probably around maybe 20 years old. I said, what do the youth feel like? How are the people feeling? How are the youth feeling? And they said, the vast majority of the country, 90% plus, were against the regime. Not only that, but think the regime is evil. And they are backing the Crown Prince. That shocked me probably the most. They said, yes, the vast majority of them are backing the Crown Prince. That this is something they did not plan for in the 90s, guaranteed. And that's still a big factor in how this turns out in the future.

I was in the. The Czech Republic, I was in Prague. And I'm standing there in the center square of the Capitol, and these people start setting up a booth that has an American flag, an Israeli flag, and an Iranian flag, the flag with the lion on it, the, you know, the real Iranian flag, not the Islamic Republic flag. And I thought, oh, boy, this is going to be interesting. Because I knew that in just a few minutes, what was coming through that square was a bunch of Palestinian protesters. And I thought, what the hell is going to happen? And me with my American passport, I am going to go stand over off to the side and just watch. The Palestinians left those guys alone. What they did, though, was really, they didn't win any friends. They were kind of a pain in the ass to all of the tourists and all everybody else that Was. Was there in the square, but there was no violence or anything else. So they leave. And it was pretty pathetic, but they left. And then I went over to. I said, which one of you guys is Iranian? And a couple of them said, we are. And I said, so what do you think about what's happening there? What are the people thinking? And, oh, my gosh, they became so animated, and they were like, we are going to win. We all know this is our only chance. This will never come again, maybe for another 50 or 60 or 70 years. We cannot fail. Everyone that we know that are on the streets in Iran knows this is our only chance. This may be the last chance for freedom. Please. Are you an American? Yes. Please don't stop. Please don't stop. Please don't stop. And I'm like, well, I'm not the one making the decisions on that one, but, you know, good luck. Good luck. So that seems to be the sentiment that I have heard as well. But I don't see them on the streets. But the consequence of being on the streets now are. It's so extraordinarily high. I'm going to show you a completely different view of all of this. It's not just Iran. It's. It's Russia, it's Europe. It's all of our allies overseas. It is us. It's what's coming our way. And it revolves around a clock and a DeLorean. Stupid Glenn Beck chalkboard. But you will understand this in a way you've not understood it before, and you will see over the horizon. Join us now.

For 2000 years, Christians and Jews have shared a story rooted in scripture, in suffering and redemption, and God's promise. We worship the same God. We honor the same foundations. And our Jewish brothers and sisters need to know that they are not alone more than ever before. I don't care what you think about Israel itself. I don't care if you like Benjamin Netanyahu or hate Benjamin Netanyahu. It's not about him or their policies as a country. This is about standing with Jews. You have a right to live. They have a right to live unmolested, just like you do. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground now, delivering food and medicine and emergency aid and hope to vulnerable Jewish families, including Holocaust survivors, who have. Can you imagine having this come back around? This isn't charity. This is our responsibility. I think what it means to be people of faith, to show up, to stand together and to say to the world, never again means never again. The Fellowship have been building bridges for decades uniting Christians and Jews in a common cause. And right now, their cause is urgent. If you've ever asked God, what can I do? Is this your answer? It starts with a simple prayer, a few heartfelt words that can lift the spirit of somebody facing fear and uncertainty and isolation. It's more than just support. It's standing with Israel and the Jewish people when it matters more most. Please send a few words to pray ifcj.org prayifcj.org Glenn Beck. So you know, Ricky, I got into the break and Ricky said, okay, that sounded a little doomsday. That sounds a little depressing, what you're going to talk about. And, and she said, I read what you wrote last night. I don't think that's doomsday. Did you add something? I'm like, no, no, it's not. It is. It is. There's a really good way out. There's a really good way out, and there's a great wild card, and this is the one that no one can predict. And I think just by saying wild card that no one can predict, you can guess what that wild card or who that wild card is. But there is a change. You know, when, when Donald Trump got in, he was a wild card even for us. I mean, he told me one on one, look me in the eye, Glenn. You don't have no idea how fast we're going to move. Oh, I'm sure we are. And I was even my breath was taken away. I was like, what is happening? I've never seen anything like this. The whole world felt like that. Well, there's been a change now recently. Why? I'll explain and I'll give you not only the information so you can see the whole picture and understand it and explain it to your friends, but also exactly what we need to do and what we need not to do to be able to survive this next turn of global events.
