=== Relief Factor Review (02:51) ===

[00:00:00]  All right, on today's podcast, the latest with the J6 pipe bomber.
[00:00:05]  I don't know what's true and what's not.
[00:00:07]  Tim Walz, he's worried about people driving by his house and yelling, what exactly at him?
[00:00:14]  And Sister Christina joins me in a remarkable, remarkable holiday kind of just somebody better than me and somebody probably better than you that just sets a great example of what this convent up in Pennsylvania are doing.
[00:00:32]  It's a nice break from the everyday.
[00:00:35]  Sister Christina joins me on today's podcast.
[00:00:38]  Relief factor.
[00:00:40]  Sometimes you don't notice how much you adjusted your life around discomfort until something forces you to look at it.
[00:00:45]  Maybe you turn down an invitation.
[00:00:47]  Maybe you stop doing a hobby that you once loved.
[00:00:49]  Maybe you start saying, not today, not today.
[00:00:52]  More and more often, you start to say that.
[00:00:53]  It happens quietly, but it happens.
[00:00:56]  And that's how you know it's time for a change.
[00:00:58]  Relief factor was designed for that moment, the moment you decide, you know what, I'm not shrinking my life down to fit my pain anymore.
[00:01:05]  It's a daily support formula that's created to help your body reduce inflammation naturally so you can move with more ease and less hesitation.
[00:01:15]  It's not a band-aid.
[00:01:16]  It's something your body can actually take and use and heal itself.
[00:01:20]  What people notice isn't just less discomfort.
[00:01:22]  It's that subtle shift from, wow, can I do this to, of course I can do this.
[00:01:28]  I want you to try their three-week quick start.

[00:02:35]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:36]  You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:02:49]  You're going to be seriously upset by this.

=== The $67 Million Somali Controversy (14:43) ===

[00:02:52]  And I am going to use, well, only because I have to, only because I have to.
[00:02:57]  And 99% of me wants to.
[00:03:00]  Okay, I lied.
[00:03:02]  102% of me wants to.
[00:03:04]  Use the R word in this particular case.
[00:03:09]  Tim Walz is upset because the president has called him retarded.
[00:03:20]  Now, I think he might be retarded.
[00:03:27]  I mean, and not necessarily, you know, I don't know what his IQ is, probably pretty low, but, you know, I don't know if it's down to 60.
[00:03:33]  But his PQ is definitely under 60.
[00:03:37]  His political quotient is definitely under 60.
[00:03:41]  You know, the guy, he's, you know, I put him in the category of, what was his name?
[00:03:49]  Dean, Howard Dean.
[00:03:51]  Yeah.
[00:03:52]  Remember that guy who walked out and we're going to go to Virginia and Kentucky and Minnesota?
[00:03:59]  And you're like, no, dude, you just lost big.
[00:04:02]  You're not going anywhere past here.
[00:04:08]  I'm not sure that he is clinically retarded, but in the playground sense, he's definitely retarded.
[00:04:17]  You know what I'm saying, Stu?
[00:04:20]  Yeah, like how kids used to say it back in the day, like that, that sort of.
[00:04:24]  Yeah, the playground.
[00:04:25]  Yeah.
[00:04:26]  Yeah, that general.
[00:04:27]  I mean, certainly that definition he would apply to him, I assume.
[00:04:32]  And remember, remember, that's the same point to where all of us heard from our mothers, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words will never hurt you.
[00:04:42]  Remember?
[00:04:44]  Remember that one?
[00:04:44]  Yeah.
[00:04:45]  You know, when you were called retarded or whatever on the playground, and you'd go home and your mom, oh, they called me retarded.
[00:04:52]  And your mom would look at you like, yeah, well, maybe you are.
[00:04:56]  Or she just immediately said to you, sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you.
[00:05:01]  Just remember that.
[00:05:01]  Just remember that, son.
[00:05:03]  Words can never hurt you.
[00:05:04]  Doesn't matter what they say about you.
[00:05:08]  We don't say that anymore.
[00:05:09]  That was pretty good advice, actually, especially with the internet in mind.
[00:05:14]  I don't think that was what our parents thought of at that time, but it's much, much worse.
[00:05:18]  And much more people seem to be affected by the words are violence sort of thought process.
[00:05:26]  That's real these days.
[00:05:29]  I also have a problem with a guy who surrounds himself with people who call the president a Nazi.
[00:05:35]  I don't know which one's worse.
[00:05:37]  The Nazi or retarded?
[00:05:39]  Yeah, Nazis were really bad.
[00:05:40]  That's actually a pretty serious accusation.
[00:05:42]  Nazis were very bad.
[00:05:43]  Fascist is another one, pretty serious accusation.
[00:05:46]  I will also weird.
[00:05:50]  I was just about to say that.
[00:05:51]  That is exactly the reason he was on the ticket is because he was name-calling other people and calling them weird.
[00:05:57]  It's the only, his only qualification outside of he's massively inept and corrupt and all the other things that would, of course, qualify him to be on a Democratic ticket.
[00:06:10]  But outside of that, the only reason he stood out from all the other loser Democrats was that he said the word weird on TV once.
[00:06:18]  And Kamala Harris, who admitted, has admitted that the reason she made, or at least the day that she made that decision, she was quote unquote overtired.
[00:06:26]  Why would you point that out?
[00:06:28]  I don't understand.
[00:06:29]  But the only theoretical reason he was on the ticket was because he was calling people names.
[00:06:34]  He called them weird, which was another school, was another like school playground like insult back in the day.
[00:06:42]  You're weird.
[00:06:43]  Weirdo.
[00:06:44]  Yeah, weird.
[00:06:45]  Oh, yeah, that was the way it was.
[00:06:47]  And so he is able to enjoy the benefits of calling people childish names.
[00:06:53]  But when he gets called those names, it gets really scary for him.
[00:06:58]  I know.
[00:06:59]  Well, he hasn't listened to his mother.
[00:07:02]  He thinks words can actually hurt him.
[00:07:04]  Now, Stu, do we know, does he agree?
[00:07:10]  Does he agree with the state senator that says that Minnesota won't survive without Somalians?
[00:07:21]  Can we play this, please?
[00:07:22]  It's cut for.
[00:07:23]  State Senator Zayda Mohamed says these attacks won't stop with Somalis and their contributions can't easily be erased.
[00:07:30]  We are in every industry and Minnesota would not be able to survive nor thrive without Somali community here.
[00:07:37]  Hmm.
[00:07:39]  Really?
[00:07:40]  Is that accurate?
[00:07:43]  The state of Minnesota cannot survive without the Somali community.
[00:07:47]  Now, my understanding was that they are relatively new to the state, which has survived for a very long time before their arrival.
[00:07:55]  I would also note, Glenn, and you might be able to help me with this one.
[00:07:59]  This one's, we're going to get deep here, though.
[00:08:01]  And I understand at times the audience hears us get deep into science and mathematics and all these.
[00:08:09]  Oh, we're known for that.
[00:08:10]  We're known for that.
[00:08:11]  And I can understand sometimes it might be confusing.
[00:08:13]  You're like, you're driving to work and you're like hearing all these numbers and you can't, you can't, maybe if you looked at them on a spreadsheet, you'd be able to recognize what's going on.
[00:08:22]  But, you know, when you're in your car, it's hard to internalize all this.
[00:08:26]  So I'm going to try to lay it out because I don't understand it.
[00:08:28]  And maybe you do.
[00:08:30]  What we understand is about a billion dollars of fraud.
[00:08:33]  Not all of it from the Somali community, but the vast majority of it seemingly coming from the Somali community.
[00:08:39]  And then the comeback to that was that the Somali community pays about $67 million in taxes every year.
[00:08:50]  So can you do the math on this?
[00:08:53]  One of the numbers is a billion, and the other one is $67 million.
[00:08:57]  Which one do you think is more important?
[00:09:00]  Which one's higher?
[00:09:02]  Do we need to get a lot of money?
[00:09:07]  I think that $7 million.
[00:09:13]  $67 million or a billion.
[00:09:16]  That's the question.
[00:09:17]  Which one's larger?
[00:09:19]  Do we have a number of people?
[00:09:20]  Four.
[00:09:22]  Leave me with four.
[00:09:24]  Four.
[00:09:25]  Now, if you think about it, Glenn, the first number in both of those, like $1 billion, the first number is a 1.
[00:09:32]  67 million, the first number is a 6.
[00:09:34]  So is 67 million?
[00:09:37]  Right.
[00:09:37]  Is it 6 million?
[00:09:38]  Six times bigger than one.
[00:09:39]  That might be what's going on.
[00:09:41]  I would say there are 933 reasons to say anyone who says that that math works out is retarded.
[00:09:52]  Okay.
[00:09:54]  It doesn't work out.
[00:09:54]  Now, look, even though, because here's what they're saying, they generate $500 million every year.
[00:10:01]  Okay.
[00:10:02]  All right.
[00:10:03]  And then they give back out of that their taxes out of that, which this itself doesn't make sense to me.
[00:10:09]  $500 billion in revenue is what they generate, but then they pay in taxes $67 million.
[00:10:17]  But what we're missing here is the $1 billion of fraudulent money being taken from the taxpayer.
[00:10:28]  So the $500 million doesn't do anything.
[00:10:31]  Okay.
[00:10:32]  That's still going to the Somali community.
[00:10:34]  Yeah.
[00:10:35]  Half.
[00:10:36]  Half.
[00:10:36]  I dare, dare I say it, Stu.
[00:10:38]  Okay.
[00:10:38]  AI on that.
[00:10:39]  Let me ask you.
[00:10:40]  Okay.
[00:10:40]  All right.
[00:10:41]  Okay.
[00:10:42]  I don't know.
[00:10:42]  Can Grock do that?
[00:10:43]  That's like a 10-year problem.
[00:10:45]  10-year problem.
[00:10:46]  Anyway, you've got half.
[00:10:50]  All right.
[00:10:50]  That number doesn't even.
[00:10:51]  You've got $1 billion that has been stolen, $67 million that has been paid in taxes.
[00:10:58]  That leaves $933 million.
[00:11:03]  That is a deficit.
[00:11:06]  You remain $933,000, $33 million in the hole.
[00:11:14]  I think we could survive without that.
[00:11:17]  I mean, sure, we don't get your $500 million, but that's okay.
[00:11:24]  That's okay.
[00:11:25]  Because we'd have a billion dollars that you didn't take.
[00:11:29]  Yeah, that's right.
[00:11:30]  I think we'd be ahead.
[00:11:31]  And also, I'd note the people.
[00:11:34]  By the way, that's if we took every Somali and just lumped them into this.
[00:11:39]  Right.
[00:11:39]  Which not.
[00:11:40]  No.
[00:11:41]  I mean, I'm sure there's some Somalis that are part of that 500 million that are not crooked.
[00:11:49]  They can stay.
[00:11:50]  They're fine.
[00:11:50]  I'm certain of that.
[00:11:51]  And in fact, I would argue those are the people likely paying the $67 million in taxes.
[00:11:57]  The people who were stealing all the money weren't paying taxes on it, which is kind of the problem.
[00:12:02]  In fact, all that money that came from the state was specifically designed so they didn't have to pay taxes on it.
[00:12:08]  The programs were designed, of course, when you're talking about a low-income person, right?
[00:12:13]  You're not going to charge them taxes on their autism treatment.
[00:12:18]  But of course, those weren't really treating kids with autism.
[00:12:22]  So the actual productive members of the society were instead paying those taxes to fund the corrupt Somalis who were stealing all the money.
[00:12:34]  And, you know, again, we've made this point a million times and I think it holds here.
[00:12:38]  Maybe treat people like individuals, right?
[00:12:41]  Maybe don't people, there are members of the Somali community that I'm sure are very important to the state.
[00:12:50]  They probably are great.
[00:12:51]  There's probably great people in that community.
[00:12:53]  But I can tell you, we know with these charges that there are a lot of people who were not living up to that expectation.
[00:12:58]  And those people should be punished.
[00:13:00]  We shouldn't hide from it.
[00:13:01]  We shouldn't act as if this wasn't a massive problem in this group of people.
[00:13:06]  Charge the people responsible for it and stop acting like we need them to survive.
[00:13:10]  We don't need criminals to survive as a country or a state.
[00:13:18]  Let me just, I have to go back to Tim Walz being upset about the retarded thing.
[00:13:26]  Play cut to please.
[00:13:28]  This creates danger.
[00:13:31]  And I'll tell you what, in my time on this, I'd never seen this before.
[00:13:35]  People driving by my house and using the R word in front of people.
[00:13:39]  This is shameful.
[00:13:41]  And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official say, you're right, that's shameful.
[00:13:46]  He should not say it.
[00:13:47]  So look, I'm worried.
[00:13:48]  We know how these things go.
[00:13:49]  They start with taunts, they turn to violence.
[00:13:52]  So deeply concerned.
[00:13:54]  Founder of the taunt of weird thinks that that taught could lead to violence.
[00:14:00]  That's so strange.
[00:14:02]  Who's living in the world of he's a fascist Nazi?
[00:14:07]  Hey, now suddenly.
[00:14:09]  And I've never seen this.
[00:14:10]  I've never seen anything like this, Stu.
[00:14:13]  Never see anything like this.
[00:14:14]  I'm in my house and people are driving down my house and rolling down their windows and they're just screaming retard out.
[00:14:20]  That's going to lead to violence.
[00:14:21]  That's going to lead to violence.
[00:14:23]  No, no.
[00:14:24]  I mean, it's not nice and it is, it's wrong.
[00:14:27]  Jesus wouldn't have done it.
[00:14:30]  But I don't think Jesus had to put up with all these retards as politicians, quite honestly.
[00:14:35]  So, I mean, I can't, I can't answer for that.
[00:14:40]  I don't know.
[00:14:40]  I'm not a biblical scholar or a scientist or a mathematician.
[00:14:45]  We've learned that.
[00:14:46]  We've learned.
[00:14:46]  We can't even tell numbers apart.
[00:14:48]  But I will say, while you're right, it's obviously not, I wouldn't tell my teach my children to behave that way, to drive by Tim Walz's.
[00:14:58]  This is shameful.
[00:14:58]  I will say it's wrong to do.
[00:15:01]  I will also say it's objectively funny picturing Tim Walz looking out his window and hearing people yell the R word at him when he's going out to get his mail.
[00:15:11]  And people say, like, it's objectively funny scenario.
[00:15:14]  It's very hard.
[00:15:15]  It is.
[00:15:16]  It is funny.
[00:15:18]  It's bad.
[00:15:18]  It's wrong that it's funny.
[00:15:20]  But it's objectively funny.
[00:15:24]  There's no way.
[00:15:25]  There's no other way to read it.
[00:15:27]  Now, and look, I'm sure the left laughed because, I mean, think about what they do with JD Vance.
[00:15:34]  They called him weird, right?
[00:15:36]  Because, God, he came up from a very poor upbringing and rose to the levels of high levels of wealth and achievement and power.
[00:15:45]  They called that weird.
[00:15:46]  That he loved his family.
[00:15:49]  And they celebrate that.
[00:15:50]  Call that the American dream.
[00:15:51]  Yeah, that used to be the American dream.
[00:15:53]  Now it's weird.
[00:15:54]  But they, of course, yelled this at him all the time.
[00:15:57]  They make the meme of him looking like you would say potentially retarded would be the example of the meme that they've created to mock JD Vance.
[00:16:07]  They constantly mock him with this, but that doesn't lead to violence.
[00:16:10]  Calling people Nazis doesn't lead to violence, despite the fact that we've seen the president of the United States take a bullet from, you know, after all of this has happened.
[00:16:19]  We saw Charlie Kirk get assassinated on stage after people said that about him.
[00:16:24]  But it's the R word being yelled at Tim Walz when he goes to get his, when he waddles out to get his mail.
[00:16:32]  That's the thing we're supposed to be concerned about.
[00:16:34]  No, no.
[00:16:36]  I mean, I don't want to see this in real life because I don't want it to happen because it is wrong.
[00:16:40]  But I do want somebody to create an AI reproduction of just some kids driving by and he's in his fuzzy slippers getting the newspaper in the morning and these kids like in American graffiti going, hey, retard.
[00:16:57]  I mean, I do kind of want to see that.
[00:16:59]  I do.
[00:17:00]  I do.
[00:17:00]  Something AI is going to do.
[00:17:01]  It's wrong.
[00:17:02]  It's wrong of me.
[00:17:02]  And I'll be, yeah.
[00:17:06]  Let me tell you about our sponsor.
[00:17:07]  It's Patriot Mobile.
[00:17:08]  Everywhere you look today, big corporations are trying to tell you what you should value, what you should believe, what you should support, how you should think.
[00:17:15]  You know, and they use your money to push that damn agenda.
[00:17:19]  And then they pretend that they're speaking on your behalf, but they're not.
[00:17:22]  And you know it.
[00:17:23]  I know it.
[00:17:24]  That's why Patriot Mobile matters so much, at least to me.
[00:17:27]  They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
[00:17:30]  And they do not use your bill to fund the latest social campaign or political movement.

=== Prayer as Daily Sacrifice (14:08) ===

[00:17:35]  They let you decide what your money stands for.
[00:17:37]  They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, and the men and women who serve this country because, you know, not because it's trendy, but because it's right.
[00:17:49]  And here's the best part.
[00:17:50]  You still get the same nationwide coverage you're used to, the same towers, the same quality, same reliability, but a fraction of the cost.
[00:17:57]  The only thing that changes really is the cost you're paying and where your money goes.

[00:18:28]  Dude, why?
[00:18:30]  Why today, out of all days?
[00:18:32]  I've been good for months.
[00:18:34]  I've been polite.
[00:18:34]  I've been nice.
[00:18:35]  I've been peace-loving.
[00:18:37]  I get up this morning.
[00:18:38]  I'm in a very bad mood.
[00:18:40]  I start the show in a very bad mood.
[00:18:43]  And then I'm like, you know what?
[00:18:44]  I don't care anymore.
[00:18:45]  And then that becomes even more dangerous.
[00:18:47]  And I start name-calling.
[00:18:48]  I haven't name-called in how many months?
[00:18:50]  I haven't name-called.
[00:18:52]  And now what happens?
[00:18:54]  I have nuns on.
[00:18:57]  Really nice, really nice nuns.
[00:19:01]  It seems to me it's the perfect day for it, Mr. Glenn.
[00:19:05]  You've been a very bad boy, and maybe a little reflection would help.
[00:19:10]  Here's what I'm hoping.
[00:19:11]  Okay, I have been reflecting ever since I looked at the schedule.
[00:19:13]  I was like, oh my gosh, the nuns are on today.
[00:19:16]  So I have been reflecting and repenting.
[00:19:18]  But here's the good news.
[00:19:23]  They're the kind of nuns that just pray all the time.
[00:19:25]  So they probably don't have the internet or a radio.
[00:19:28]  So I'm hoping they haven't heard any of the show.
[00:19:33]  They may not even know who I am.
[00:19:35]  That would be a great blessing.
[00:19:37]  God hears, Glenn.
[00:19:38]  God hears.
[00:19:40]  Yeah, but the nuns I have to deal with today, God, I have to deal with later.
[00:19:45]  The nuns I have to deal with right now.
[00:19:47]  So I'm really excited to have Sister Christina join us.
[00:19:52]  She is a Capuchin sister of Nazareth out of Pennsylvania.
[00:19:58]  This is a group in a convent that lived together, and they got an invite, a letter from And Then There Were None.
[00:20:07]  Now, this is the organization we've had, who runs And Then There Were None?
[00:20:11]  What's her name?
[00:20:12]  She's been on for a million times.
[00:20:14]  She's great, and she wrote a letter to all of the convents and said, hey, you should, no, not Agatha Christie, but she wrote the book.
[00:20:26]  She reached out and she said, now's the time that we'd like to get some of these abortion workers that, you know, it's the holiday season.
[00:20:33]  Maybe if we write them Christmas cards, et cetera, et cetera, and send them out to all the abortion clinics, maybe some of them will go, you know what, now is the time to get out of the abortion industry.
[00:20:44]  And so this group of nuns up in Pennsylvania started doing it, and they have been sending these letters out to these abortion clinics, not being nasty or not being basically like I have been all day today, being nice and kind.
[00:21:00]  And I just thought it was such a cool story when I read about it.
[00:21:03]  And Sister Christina is with us now.
[00:21:05]  Hi, Sister.
[00:21:06]  How are you?
[00:21:06]  Hi, Glenn.
[00:21:07]  I'm good.
[00:21:09]  Good.
[00:21:10]  You don't happen to have radios or computers or anything, right?
[00:21:15]  We don't.
[00:21:16]  We're Capuchin Franciscans, so we just live a real simple, a life of simplicity.
[00:21:23]  Good, good.
[00:21:25]  Because, I mean, you know, not that I've been misbehaving before your appearance or anything like that, but I'm glad that you're.
[00:21:33]  What is it like not to have a computer and phones and everything else?
[00:21:37]  I mean, that's like, that used to be normal.
[00:21:39]  Now it's not at all.
[00:21:42]  Well, people, when they hear we don't have these things, they always say, oh, aren't you blessed?
[00:21:48]  And I was like, well, you could do it too.
[00:21:52]  So I think we're the happiest people on this earth, too.
[00:21:57]  Not just because we don't have technology, but because we have the Lord.
[00:22:02]  I think, you know, I've always thought of this with the Amish too, because, you know, they don't have anything.
[00:22:08]  And I think they've just decided to not live in this world.
[00:22:16]  They live in it, but they don't embrace it.
[00:22:18]  They don't become part of it.
[00:22:19]  And I think there's something to that lifestyle that you're living that we probably should do more of.
[00:22:26]  Anyway, so tell me the story of writing these letters.
[00:22:32]  Well, we were approached by the organization And Then There Were None, which was founded by Abby Johnson in, I believe in 2012.
[00:22:44]  And so we just received a letter from them.
[00:22:47]  So I'm assuming they saw we do have a website, so capitalsisters.com.
[00:22:52]  So we don't have the computer, but someone will run the website for us.
[00:22:58]  The best way to do it.
[00:22:59]  So that's how most young women will find out about us and things.
[00:23:03]  So they wrote us a beautiful letter and just explained, I had heard of the organization, but never about any of the ministries they were doing.
[00:23:12]  But they have a ministry where they're basically just writing a Christmas card to the actual abortion clinics.
[00:23:20]  So to the workers in the clinics, and just a brief message of prayer and Christmas greeting.
[00:23:29]  And we can make it very personal.
[00:23:32]  And just inviting them out of the life that they're living.
[00:23:36]  And what we do is we include in the Christmas cards and then there were nuns business card.
[00:23:45]  So that way they have this card in their hand where they can reach out for help through it, and then there were none.
[00:23:55]  I would imagine that there are very different reactions to that.
[00:24:02]  Those who would be really angered by it and make a big deal out of it that way.
[00:24:08]  And then the others who have been thinking this way and just don't know what to do.
[00:24:13]  Have you heard of the reactions?
[00:24:17]  Do you know if this is reaping any results?
[00:24:20]  Definitely reaping results.
[00:24:22]  So the first time we received, we've been doing this for maybe three or four Christmases now.
[00:24:27]  So the first time we received a letter, I think, and then there were none, said they had 300 abortion workers leave so far, not just through the Christmas card ministry, but through all the ministry they do throughout the year.
[00:24:41]  Just this last letter I received from them, they said they have 700, over 700 workers that have left the abortion industry.
[00:24:53]  That is fantastic.
[00:24:55]  So can I ask, how do you recruit for your job?
[00:25:02]  I mean, because I went to your website, and you guys are all young.
[00:25:04]  I grew up Catholic.
[00:25:08]  We didn't have any young nuns at the time.
[00:25:10]  We had one, Sister Julie, my third grade teacher, and I had a huge crush on her.
[00:25:14]  But you're all generally, at least on the website, very young.
[00:25:22]  How does a young woman come to be a nun today?
[00:25:27]  So to find our community, most young women are looking on the internet, and that's why we decided to have a website, because that's where most young women are.
[00:25:36]  So typically a young woman will see our website, and then she'll have to be brave enough to at least call.
[00:25:44]  So there's no texting because this is a landline I'm speaking to you on.
[00:25:47]  So just call or write.
[00:25:51]  So, which are very kind of foreign ways of communication in this day.
[00:25:56]  In this day and age.
[00:25:57]  Most people don't know how to use a landline anymore.
[00:26:00]  So what do you, like, what do you guys do?
[00:26:04]  So our main ministry is really prayer.
[00:26:07]  So we're called contemplative sisters.
[00:26:10]  So that would come from the word contemplation.
[00:26:13]  So our main work we really consider is prayer.
[00:26:16]  So we live a life of deep, deep prayer.
[00:26:20]  And a lot of times, especially, I think young women get the idea of like, oh, I could just never be on my knees all day praying.
[00:26:27]  And that's not what it is at all.
[00:26:29]  And you can see from the beautiful joy, the pictures on the website, we live a very full life, a very full life, a very poor life because we choose, we want to be poor.
[00:26:40]  And we live the charism of St. Francis of Assisi, who chose to follow Christ poorly.
[00:26:48]  But we live a rich, rich life of community as well.
[00:26:51]  So we're like a real sisterhood, like a real family.
[00:26:55]  But our primary work we really consider is our prayer.
[00:27:01]  And when you say prayer, is it a prayer in all that you do kind of thing, or is it actually structured prayer time or both?
[00:27:10]  Both.
[00:27:11]  Both, really.
[00:27:12]  So we do have definitely structured prayer time.
[00:27:16]  So we rise in the middle of the night, actually, for a night vigil at 2 a.m.
[00:27:22]  And then that would be like the beginning of our day.
[00:27:25]  And then, but we make that sacrifice.
[00:27:27]  Well, wait, hold on.
[00:27:27]  Wait, that's the beginning.
[00:27:28]  You go back to bed after two.
[00:27:30]  We do.
[00:27:31]  After that prayer, or do you.
[00:27:33]  After that prayer, we go back to bed.
[00:27:37]  So it's called a vigil, a night vigil.
[00:27:39]  So we always say we get to go to bed twice.
[00:27:43]  So we kind of.
[00:27:44]  Man, I don't think.
[00:27:45]  I'd think I mean, I know I'd have to be a woman to join the convent, but I think that would count me out.
[00:27:51]  I think it'd be like, wait, I got to get up at 2 o'clock every day.
[00:27:55]  We like to equate it.
[00:27:56]  How hard is that?
[00:27:57]  You get used to it.
[00:27:58]  I mean, it definitely is a sacrifice, but we like to equate it to the vocation of a mother and mothers and fathers who get up in the middle of the night to their crying child.
[00:28:09]  Like, they wouldn't think twice about it.
[00:28:11]  So we are not physical mothers, but we're spiritual mothers, mothers of souls, in that we are brides of Christ.
[00:28:21]  So all of his children are our children spiritually.
[00:28:24]  And our children, I like to say, they're always crying.
[00:28:27]  They're always crying out for prayer, for sacrifice, for God, ultimately.
[00:28:33]  So we, you know, like to equate that to our spiritual motherhood.
[00:28:41]  Sister, you, you, you know, you don't have phones and computers and everything else, but I'm sure you are very well aware.
[00:28:51]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:28:51]  That's what I mean.
[00:28:53]  You're not on social media.
[00:28:55]  But I'm sure you're aware of the conditions that are happening in our world.
[00:29:00]  What are your thoughts on where our world is headed?
[00:29:06]  Well, it's certainly a sad state, especially considering this ministry that we're doing with, and then there were none.
[00:29:15]  One of the things we do with these cards is after we write them, we'll place them on our altar, just praying that God will get them into the right hands, those that are working in these industries and maybe on the verge of conversion.
[00:29:29]  And I had them on our altar, and a young father came to visit our chapel.
[00:29:35]  And I said, these are cards that we're sending to abortion clinics to the workers to invite them out of this way of life.
[00:29:41]  And he said, there's that many abortion clinics?
[00:29:44]  And I only had maybe 50 cards on the altar.
[00:29:47]  And I said, there's thousands of clinic.
[00:29:50]  And he goes, I had no idea.
[00:29:52]  And just this evil, evil holocaust that's been going on legally in our country.
[00:30:00]  So we're well aware of the evils that are going on.
[00:30:03]  But I think the tides are turning.
[00:30:05]  I think the pro-life movement in America is huge, Glenn.
[00:30:09]  It's huge.
[00:30:10]  And there's so much good work being done.
[00:30:13]  But a lot of it is much like our life is hidden, is prayer, is hidden, is quiet.
[00:30:20]  And a lot of times the truth is silent.
[00:30:24]  Yeah.
[00:30:25]  But doesn't mean it's silent.
[00:30:26]  The Lord doesn't usually come in with a marching band.
[00:30:29]  Exactly.
[00:30:29]  He comes in on a donkey.
[00:30:31]  Exactly.
[00:30:32]  But we consider our prayer, especially that real battleground.
[00:30:37]  So a lot of people think of it as a very just sterile, inactive life.
[00:30:41]  Oh, it's an active life.
[00:30:42]  Like we always say, we'll never be out of a job.
[00:30:44]  There's always something, someone to pray for.
[00:30:47]  And it's a beautiful experience.
[00:30:52]  I actually had a guy who actually told me to stop telling people to pray because God's very busy and he's busy solving wars and everything else and he doesn't have time to listen to everybody.
[00:31:03]  Oh, he's God.
[00:31:05]  He's infinite.
[00:31:06]  We can't limit him.
[00:31:08]  Right.
[00:31:09]  Like, I don't think you understand how God works.
[00:31:12]  I don't think he's like, oh, I'm dealing with this war.
[00:31:15]  What is it you want again?
[00:31:17]  It's a little different than that.
[00:31:19]  Sister, thank you so much.
[00:31:20]  And bless you this holiday season.
[00:31:22]  And thank you for just being a ray of sunshine.
[00:31:27]  You and all of the sisters up at the convent and everybody that does what you do.
[00:31:31]  I read this story and it just pure good.
[00:31:36]  It's just pure good.
[00:31:37]  And we don't see that very often anymore.
[00:31:39]  And thank you.
[00:31:41]  Thank you for having us.

=== FBI Trust Eroded by Years (11:20) ===

[00:31:43]  You bet.
[00:31:44]  Bless you, sister.
[00:31:46]  Isn't that nice?
[00:31:48]  Is that kind of the kind of the world you kind of want to live in?
[00:31:51]  Or you just want to live around?
[00:31:52]  I mean, I don't want to get up at 2 o'clock in the morning.
[00:31:55]  I mean, yeah, yeah.
[00:31:57]  I mean, it's important and stuff, but 2 a.m., really, Lord.
[00:32:00]  I mean, that's the one time that I might say, I don't think the Lord wants to hear you at 2 o'clock in the morning.
[00:32:05]  He might be sleeping.
[00:32:08]  I think we should sleep through.
[00:32:10]  I think we should get him when he's fresh early in the morning, but not too early.
[00:32:14]  But it's, you kind of want to live around the people like that.
[00:32:19]  Most people are still up from the night before, doom scrolling in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning.
[00:32:24]  So I don't know.
[00:32:26]  It's a total big adjustment.
[00:32:30]  Sweet.
[00:32:30]  They're just sweet, sweet people.

[00:32:40]  Hello, Stu.
[00:32:41]  Welcome to the program.
[00:32:42]  hey glenn how's it going i don't even know what to say because i don't know I don't know what's true anymore.
[00:32:56]  I have no idea what's true anymore.
[00:32:58]  I can tell you what I think is true, but I don't know what's true.
[00:33:08]  Five years we have been looking into this pipe bomber.
[00:33:11]  For five years, the FBI.
[00:33:14]  For five years, the FBI has said, no, it can't find anything.
[00:33:18]  We don't have any cell phone data.
[00:33:19]  It's all been erased.
[00:33:21]  We don't have any kind of data whatsoever.
[00:33:23]  it's all been erased accidentally we we don't have the secret service brings the uh the vice president about to be sworn in brings her practically at the bench of the pipe bomb but accidentally we relate we we accidentally erased all of the secret service notes on it Really?
[00:33:45]  For five years, this has been going on.
[00:33:49]  For the last year, we have the people who have been saying don't trust the government.
[00:33:56]  They're now in the government, and they're saying trust us.
[00:33:59]  And generally speaking, I do.
[00:34:01]  There's a couple of people, Pam Bon is one of them that I not sure yet because I haven't seen anything.
[00:34:09]  Where are you, Pam?
[00:34:10]  Where are you?
[00:34:11]  On any big thing, where are you?
[00:34:16]  So yesterday, they come out and they say we've arrested apparently the pipe bomber.
[00:34:21]  Okay.
[00:34:22]  We're indicting him.
[00:34:24]  Okay, so they're a suspect.
[00:34:26]  We don't know, but you know, I've got a lot of questions on this one.
[00:34:31]  I mean, a lot of questions.
[00:34:34]  Let's start here.
[00:34:36]  Let me just give you the story.
[00:34:38]  On Thursday, the DOJ announced that a 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia had been arrested.
[00:34:46]  Cole lives with his mom and his other family members and works in the office of a bail bondsman, according to an FBI affidavit.
[00:34:55]  Today's arrest happened because Trump administration had made this case a priority.
[00:35:00]  At a press conference, alongside with Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and others, Janine Pirro, U.S. attorney, revealed that Cole was arrested for allegedly transporting an explosive device in an interstate commerce and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
[00:35:21]  Citing the ongoing investigation, officials shared few details about the sequence of events that led to Cole's arrest, but they insist that the evidence against Cole was not based on any new tip.
[00:35:34]  Okay.
[00:35:36]  Just old-fashioned detective work.
[00:35:38]  We've got Sam Spade on the job now.
[00:35:41]  This wasn't a new tip.
[00:35:42]  It wasn't some new evidence.
[00:35:43]  It was just hard work.
[00:35:45]  Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration, this is what happened when you work for a president who tells you to get the bad guys and stop focusing on other things not related to law enforcement.
[00:35:56]  Well, good.
[00:35:58]  Bondi further claimed that under the Biden administration, the evidence was sitting there collecting dust.
[00:36:03]  Bondi further claimed that under the Biden administration, the evidence was just sitting there collecting dust.
[00:36:08]  Do you believe that?
[00:36:10]  Yeah, I do.
[00:36:11]  I can believe that.
[00:36:13]  Such total lack of movement during four years under Biden undermined the public trust for enforcement agencies.
[00:36:20]  Absolutely.
[00:36:22]  Patel indicated that Cole is believed to have made the bombs.
[00:36:26]  Bondi stated he was charged with placing them at the RNC.
[00:36:29]  Officials reiterated that further charges may still be forthcoming and that the investigation is still in its early stages.
[00:36:35]  The FBI affidavit dated December 3rd revealed more details about the evidence against Mr. Cole.
[00:36:41]  Investigators were able to link materials used in the bombs, including galvanized pipes, end caps, wires, nine-bolt battery connectors, and kitchen-style timers, as well as other items that may have been used during the construction process, such as wire nuts, safety glasses, and sandpaper, to purchases made by Cole.
[00:37:02]  Hmm.
[00:37:04]  Now, here's an interesting thing.
[00:37:06]  A cell phone connected to Cole also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC and DNC during the time the bombs were believed to have been placed.
[00:37:15]  Stu a cell phone connected to Cole also pinged off multiple cell towers near the RNC DNC during the time that the bombs were placed.
[00:37:28]  Why would I have a hard time with that paragraph?
[00:37:35]  Well, maybe it goes back to what you started this with, which was that we were told all the data was deleted.
[00:37:43]  Right?
[00:37:44]  Yes.
[00:37:44]  Okay.
[00:37:45]  All of the cell phone data has been corrupted.
[00:37:48]  There is no cell phone pings that you can find.
[00:37:51]  It's all been corrupted.
[00:37:53]  I'd like to know when did they uncorrupt the corrupted information?
[00:37:58]  How did they do that?
[00:38:00]  Where has that been sitting?
[00:38:02]  Kind of an important detail that I'd like to know.
[00:38:06]  At 7.10 on January 5th, a Nissan Sentra registered to Cole was likewise observed less than one half mile from the location where the individual who placed the devices was first observed on foot.
[00:38:20]  At 7.10, observation of Cole's vehicle became five minutes before the cell phone began to interact with provider towers in the area.
[00:38:27]  Wow.
[00:38:28]  So now they have footage and the cell phone tower pinging.
[00:38:33]  Wow.
[00:38:35]  Cole's height and use of sunglasses also seems to correspond with the suspect spotted on surveillance footage.
[00:38:41]  November 8th, Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources reported that a gate analysis of a former Capitol police officer was a forensic match to the gate of the long-sought January 6th pipe bomb suspect.
[00:38:57]  An attorney for the Capitol Police Officer has since denied the allegations on her behalf.
[00:39:02]  CBS News reported the FBI ruled her out, ruled her involvement out, citing three unidentified sources who said there was a video of her playing with puppies at the time.
[00:39:15]  Oh, she was playing with puppies at the time.
[00:39:18]  Now, I'm not saying she wasn't playing with puppies at the time.
[00:39:22]  I don't know what to believe in this story.
[00:39:25]  But can it be something else other than playing just so it doesn't seem like a ridiculous movie that we would all be watching and going, really the puppy thing?
[00:39:37]  She was playing with puppies at the time.
[00:39:41]  Most likely, that's exactly what happened.
[00:39:44]  I don't know.
[00:39:45]  I don't know.
[00:39:46]  I just can't take the puppy thing.
[00:39:52]  Now, Blaise News issued this yesterday.
[00:40:01]  Blaise News considers fairness and accuracy to be the defining goals of any news organization.
[00:40:07]  Our report posted on November 8th, 2025, about the January 6th pipe bombs was based on sourcing from individuals in position to know this type of sensitive law enforcement information who have demonstrated a record of reliability and accuracy.
[00:40:22]  Of note, the sources continue to stand by the information they provided to Blaise News.
[00:40:30]  What?
[00:40:36]  At all times, the reporting adhered to professional journalistic standards and was published with good faith belief in its truth.
[00:40:43]  Even so, in light of Thursday's development and the FBI's address of another individual, Virginia resident Brian Gold Jr., in connection with the Capitol pipe bomb incident, we consider the values of fairness and accuracy to require retraction of this article.
[00:41:01]  Even so, in line with Thursday, so they retracted the article and they believe it was published in good faith, but the people who are the sources stand by it.
[00:41:16]  Just to make it, can we throw some puppies in someplace?
[00:41:19]  How about some little kitty cats?
[00:41:20]  Can we play with little kitty cats?
[00:41:22]  Just to make it even more fun, yet thoroughly confusing.
[00:41:27]  After publication, Steve Bunnell, who is Washington Post, identified as an attorney for the Capitol Police Officer, told the Post his client categorically denies that she planted the pipe bombs.
[00:41:39]  Good.
[00:41:39]  I would just like an end to this story.
[00:41:40]  That's all I would like.
[00:41:41]  I just want an ending to this story.
[00:41:46]  I would like the true ending to this story.
[00:41:49]  That's what I want.
[00:41:50]  That's what I want.
[00:41:51]  Because I don't know what to believe on any story anymore.
[00:41:57]  I am so glad that I am out of the news business.
[00:42:01]  You know, I started the Blaze years ago.
[00:42:03]  I sold the Blaze two years ago.
[00:42:06]  And I am so glad I have nothing to do with anyone in the news department.
[00:42:10]  Not that I don't trust anybody in the news.
[00:42:13]  I wouldn't want anyone in any news department.
[00:42:16]  I wouldn't want to be in God's news department right now.
[00:42:20]  I want out.
[00:42:22]  I want out.
[00:42:24]  I just want the truth.
[00:42:30]  God, love of Pete.
[00:42:32]  How do you know?
[00:42:33]  Do you trust the FBI?
[00:42:36]  Do you trust the FBI?
[00:42:38]  I used to.
[00:42:39]  I used to trust the FBI.
[00:42:41]  I used to have great respect for the FBI.
[00:42:44]  I don't know if I trust the FBI anymore.
[00:42:46]  don't distrust the FBI but I don't trust the FBI do you trust so there's the update on the story Have a good Friday.
