=== You Were Called For This Time (05:37) ===

[00:00:01]  The woke left, the left ideology, is a religion.
[00:00:06]  Do you know who our real enemy is?
[00:00:08]  The big business all over the world, coupled with government, coupled with media.
[00:00:16]  The people are waking up.
[00:00:18]  The world is changing.
[00:00:21]  It's going to be amazing.
[00:00:23]  The technology that we have, the things that we can do and explore, the diseases that we can cure, life, human life, will never be the same.
[00:00:34]  You were called for this time.
[00:00:37]  You are here for a reason.
[00:00:39]  All of the eyes of the world are upon you.
[00:00:45]  Glenn Beck.
[00:01:08]  Hello, hello, hello.
[00:01:10]  I brought somebody in because I saw something that I just thought was so incredible, and it shouldn't be, but it was.
[00:01:19]  And so I called this young lady, it was the day after, and she was surprised to hear my voice.
[00:01:26]  And I said, I would like you to come as my guest to TPUSA.
[00:01:30]  You may have seen her around.
[00:01:32]  I know she was on the stage yesterday.
[00:01:36]  May I reintroduce you to Genie Beeman?
[00:01:39]  So we were backstage just a few minutes ago and and Genie said, I don't know what's happening.
[00:02:08]  The reaction has been what?
[00:02:11]  Overwhelming.
[00:02:13]  She said she didn't understand why everybody was asking her for a selfie.
[00:02:18]  Can you explain what you're curious about, what you don't understand?
[00:02:23]  Because I'm just a normal person.
[00:02:32]  And that is why you're here.
[00:02:35]  Okay.
[00:02:36]  This is, we were talking backstage, and I said, when I was young, when I was your age, when she was your age, there wouldn't have been somebody like this up on stage because it was the normal thing to do.
[00:02:49]  Now it's not.
[00:02:51]  And I wanted to thank you for being normal.
[00:02:56]  Thank you.
[00:03:00]  God bless you.
[00:03:17]  She told me that she has a lot in common.
[00:03:24]  She understands Erica.
[00:03:25]  She just, she lost her husband.
[00:03:27]  And she said there are days that she has to hold onto her chest because she feels like her heart's going to explode without her husband.
[00:03:39]  So that's why she is who she is.
[00:03:42]  She is a woman with great heart, great heart.
[00:03:49]  So I have a ton to share with you.
[00:03:51]  And honestly, I had a completely different speech that I was prepared to give you today until I started watching.
[00:03:58]  I last night started thinking about you and what you need to hear.
[00:04:03]  I wanted to talk to you about history.
[00:04:04]  I wanted to talk to you about the economy and what's coming.
[00:04:08]  I wanted to talk to you about what is coming for Western civilization and to warn you that today the times have changed and you are desperately needed, desperately needed.
[00:04:22]  But there's something else that I think is more important that you need to hear.
[00:04:31]  We must stop fighting with one another.
[00:04:43]  It is important to stand for the truth, but people are not your enemies.
[00:04:49]  Lies are your enemies.
[00:04:53]  We each have a responsibility to stop, to stop and point out lies, to stop lies.
[00:05:00]  But you can't stop lies.
[00:05:03]  You can't stop darkness with more darkness.
[00:05:06]  You can't stop hate with more hate.
[00:05:09]  You only dispel the darkness of lies with the light of truth.
[00:05:17]  A single candle will light up a room.
[00:05:21]  If everything is dark, one cell phone will be seen everywhere in this dark room.
[00:05:29]  You are that single candle.
[00:05:33]  You are that light.
[00:05:35]  And if you don't believe it, I understand.
[00:05:37]  I do.
[00:05:38]  I get it.

=== You Are The Light (11:01) ===

[00:05:39]  I've spent a lot of time trying to think back to when I didn't have white hair, when I was your age, and what I thought and what I would be thinking if I were you.
[00:05:51]  If I were you, and I'm 25, I was one when the World Trade Center came down.
[00:05:57]  I would have no memory of that, and I certainly wouldn't have a memory of the United States before that.
[00:06:02]  You'd have no idea what it was like to get out of your car in front of an airport and walk directly to the gate.
[00:06:10]  You don't remember a time when you didn't have a cavity search just to go onto an airplane.
[00:06:17]  You don't know of a time when you didn't have to have your iris scanned.
[00:06:21]  Until if you were born in 2000, you don't know of a time when this country wasn't at war or the world wasn't on the verge of global war.
[00:06:33]  That is a frightening place to live.
[00:06:37]  When you were eight years old, the financial crash happened, and maybe your parents lost everything.
[00:06:44]  But the big guys in New York, the big guys at the banks, they didn't lose everything.
[00:06:50]  Nobody went to jail.
[00:06:52]  And you and your family paid the price that none of them had to pay.
[00:06:58]  Then, 2008, 2009, the cell phone comes out, social media comes out, it's supposed to connect us so we can talk to our friends, and it does just the opposite.
[00:07:08]  It divides us, it changes us.
[00:07:11]  Then 2020 hits, COVID happens.
[00:07:14]  If your parents survived 2008, now they face COVID.
[00:07:19]  And if they happen to own, let's say, an ACE hardware store, a local hardware store, what happened?
[00:07:25]  They were shut down because their local hardware store was killing grandparents.
[00:07:31]  But Home Depot was fine.
[00:07:34]  Once again, you saw the entire system turned upside down and the little guy gets screwed.
[00:07:43]  Then, with nobody going to jail, you're also in school taught all kinds of things.
[00:07:50]  Men can be women, and women cannot be defined unless you're a scientist, I guess.
[00:07:56]  You are also told, just study hard.
[00:08:00]  Just keep your nose clean, just do the right thing, study hard, go to college, get a degree, keep your grades up, and you'll get a good job.
[00:08:09]  Well, you did all of those things, and there are no jobs for you.
[00:08:14]  Everything, everything, if I'm 25 years old, I would think absolutely everything is a lie.
[00:08:21]  I get it.
[00:08:23]  So let me start with this.
[00:08:25]  You are not crazy.
[00:08:27]  You are not lazy.
[00:08:30]  You are not imagining things.
[00:08:33]  The truth is, the rules have changed.
[00:08:36]  Promises have been broken.
[00:08:39]  Institutions have failed.
[00:08:41]  Banks were rescued while families like yours weren't.
[00:08:45]  And you were told to follow a path that would guarantee security, and it provides none of that.
[00:08:52]  But the most dangerous lie that you have been told wasn't that the system failed you.
[00:08:59]  The biggest lie that you were told is that you don't matter.
[00:09:06]  Here's the thing: I want you to understand: a broken system does not erase human agency, it reveals who still has agency.
[00:09:22]  Every single generation since the beginning of time has inherited a mess, but only the great generations turn that mess into a mission, and that's your calling.
[00:09:37]  America, America was never built for comfort.
[00:09:43]  It was built for people who believed they could shape their own destiny.
[00:09:48]  Previous generations had it different, but they didn't have it easier.
[00:09:52]  They had world wars, they had depression, they had drafts, they had the plague, they had no safety nets, they had no guarantees.
[00:10:01]  But what they had that you don't have is belief.
[00:10:06]  Belief, belief in God, belief in responsibility, a belief that there is a brighter tomorrow just over the horizon.
[00:10:14]  They had that, you need that.
[00:10:17]  Belief is what creates prosperity, not the other way around.
[00:10:24]  And you have been fed lies to keep you powerless.
[00:10:28]  And so many of your generation are following the natural path of somebody who believes they are powerless.
[00:10:38]  You look to others to lead.
[00:10:41]  You look for a leader.
[00:10:44]  May I propose one?
[00:10:48]  You.
[00:10:49]  You are the leader.
[00:10:55]  As I was watching speeches yesterday, I thought to myself, What do any of us clowns who are up here have that you don't have?
[00:11:05]  What is it that we have that you don't have?
[00:11:08]  A platform?
[00:11:10]  Build one.
[00:11:11]  Charlie did.
[00:11:12]  Build a platform.
[00:11:14]  You don't have an understanding of history or God or economics or politics.
[00:11:21]  Learn it.
[00:11:22]  You have the world's library in your pocket.
[00:11:26]  Learn it.
[00:11:28]  The only thing that I have that maybe you don't have is white hair.
[00:11:35]  That's the only thing that I have.
[00:11:37]  And that comes from a long life of watching things play out over and over and over again.
[00:11:44]  So the only thing that I have that you don't have is I've seen the pattern.
[00:11:49]  You're in the first phase of your life, so you're seeing the pattern for the first time.
[00:11:54]  But believe me, all of this crap will happen again and again and again.
[00:11:59]  And when you have the white hair, you start to go, oh crap, this is a giant game.
[00:12:03]  I wish I would have known that a long time ago.
[00:12:06]  You need to know one thing.
[00:12:09]  You hold every card you need.
[00:12:13]  You have everything you need.
[00:12:15]  Everything and more.
[00:12:18]  You have your intellect.
[00:12:20]  Your intellect, so you can now think, you can reason, you can learn.
[00:12:25]  You're living in a country that today is still free enough to where you can ask questions and never stop asking questions, especially the uncomfortable questions.
[00:12:39]  There is no such thing as a wrong question or a dangerous question.
[00:12:44]  You ask those questions, but then you find the truth.
[00:12:49]  You don't have truth given to you.
[00:12:52]  No one is here.
[00:12:53]  Don't take anything I or anyone else on this stage say as gospel because I'm not Jesus.
[00:12:59]  None of us are.
[00:13:00]  You find the truth yourself.
[00:13:03]  You can hear something, but then you prove it to be true yourself.
[00:13:14]  Here's something else that you have that I think you dismiss.
[00:13:18]  You're here.
[00:13:20]  So if not you, who?
[00:13:24]  If not now, when?
[00:13:27]  The other thing you have that you dismiss is that you're alive.
[00:13:32]  And that to me means proves the fact God does not make excess people.
[00:13:42]  You have a reason to be here.
[00:13:45]  You have a purpose.
[00:13:47]  There is a reason for you to be alive.
[00:13:51]  God doesn't make excess people.
[00:13:54]  You're not excess.
[00:13:56]  You're the center of your life.
[00:14:02]  I will tell you that I believe I'm 61.
[00:14:08]  I believe two months ago I discovered the reason why I was born.
[00:14:14]  And I had planned on talking to you about that because it's really important.
[00:14:21]  But you need to hear something more important than any of that that I have to share with you.
[00:14:28]  You need to believe in yourself.
[00:14:32]  You need to recognize the power that you have.
[00:14:37]  You don't need permission to begin a meaningful life.
[00:14:43]  You have three levers of power that you don't understand that you have right in front of you every day.
[00:14:49]  You have one, internal power.
[00:14:52]  No one can control your work ethic, your honesty, your discipline, your faith, or like Genie, your response to others.
[00:15:03]  You own that.
[00:15:04]  Don't let others dictate how you respond.
[00:15:12]  You also have compounding power, the compounding power.
[00:15:19]  Small, consistent actions every day will beat institutions every time, because your skill compounds.
[00:15:28]  Every time I met with Charlie, he was a different and better person.
[00:15:33]  Every time, he was smarter.
[00:15:36]  He was deeper in with God.
[00:15:38]  He was more successful.
[00:15:41]  And towards the end of his life, it was compounding so rapidly that the changes were staggering.
[00:15:48]  But he's the one who did it.
[00:15:51]  He just chose to do it.
[00:15:54]  Reputation compounds.
[00:15:56]  Integrity compounds.
[00:15:58]  Intellect compounds.
[00:16:00]  Time is not on my side for compounding any of that anymore.
[00:16:05]  But you have all the time you need to be far greater than anyone else you're going to hear speak today.
[00:16:12]  The third thing you have is spiritual power.
[00:16:16]  Meaning is not given by governments or markets.
[00:16:20]  Purpose precedes prosperity.
[00:16:24]  God doesn't create excess people.
[00:16:26]  If you exist, it means you're needed.
[00:16:29]  You are not born too late.
[00:16:31]  You are born into this moment for a reason only you will find, and it requires courage to go out and find it and stand.

=== When The Lights Go Out (07:03) ===

[00:16:41]  You are not a victim.
[00:16:54]  Spread the word.
[00:16:58]  History has never asked a victim to save it, nor does history ask comfortable people to save it.
[00:17:07]  History asks capable people to save it.
[00:17:12]  You will discover, if you shake off the lie of victimhood, you will discover the glory of responsibility.
[00:17:22]  When you take on responsibility, when you concentrate on responsibility, you will discover purpose.
[00:17:30]  When you have purpose, cynicism falls away and your life becomes a calling.
[00:17:39]  Concentrate on the first step: personal responsibility.
[00:17:46]  Let me leave you with a scenario.
[00:17:53]  We're sitting in here, and all of a sudden, the mic goes out, the lights go out.
[00:17:59]  What's the first thing you do?
[00:18:02]  First thing, we probably all gasp or laugh a little bit, gets a little uncomfortable, and then you probably will pull out your phone.
[00:18:09]  And there's the light.
[00:18:12]  And you will look at your phone, and somebody at some point will realize there are no bars anymore.
[00:18:18]  The lights go out, not for a minute.
[00:18:20]  Let's say it's not a glitch.
[00:18:22]  Let's say they go out and stay out.
[00:18:25]  At first, the phones come out, and somebody will say, Wow, this is weird.
[00:18:30]  Then your phones die.
[00:18:31]  Then the stores close.
[00:18:33]  Then the sirens start.
[00:18:36]  By tomorrow morning, if the lights went out right now and they stayed out and it was out everywhere, by tomorrow morning, there would be a change in most people's eyes.
[00:18:48]  And it would not be fear.
[00:18:50]  It would be confusion, which is worse.
[00:18:56]  When the system disappears, people don't ask the question, who's in charge?
[00:19:04]  When the lights go out and stay out, people begin to ask the question, who knows how to live without the system?
[00:19:15]  Some people will freeze.
[00:19:17]  Some people will wait.
[00:19:19]  Some people will demand answers.
[00:19:21]  I want answers.
[00:19:22]  Somebody's got to pay for this.
[00:19:24]  And they'll be demanding answers from institutions that no longer answer.
[00:19:29]  Others will just look around.
[00:19:32]  Others will begin to look around and then check on neighbors.
[00:19:36]  They'll begin to share food.
[00:19:38]  They will organize quietly.
[00:19:41]  They will not wait to ask for permission.
[00:19:45]  They don't have or need special authority.
[00:19:48]  They don't have official titles.
[00:19:50]  They have something else, personal responsibility.
[00:19:54]  And here's the part that matters.
[00:19:56]  When the lights go out, that's when everyone will discover who they really are.
[00:20:04]  No one will ask.
[00:20:06]  No one will ask, who did you vote for?
[00:20:09]  No one will ask, what did you post?
[00:20:12]  No one will ask, who were you angry at?
[00:20:18]  How angry did you get?
[00:20:23]  Whether you're prepared to stand or not, that's the moment.
[00:20:27]  And we're at this moment.
[00:20:30]  The lights are flickering.
[00:20:32]  I told you at the beginning, you're not crazy.
[00:20:36]  Things are not the way they should be.
[00:20:38]  The lights are flickering.
[00:20:41]  So now, what do you do when the lights go out?
[00:20:49]  You need to restore your confidence.
[00:20:53]  The lights are flickering not just in markets and politics, but in belief, in confidence, in belief.
[00:21:00]  You've been told the dangerous things over and over again: that when the system fails, you fail.
[00:21:06]  It's not true.
[00:21:08]  People matter more in those moments rather than less.
[00:21:13]  And every great generation in history, they were forged in a moment when something big broke.
[00:21:22]  Not when things were easy, not when things were guaranteed, but when people your age looked at one another, saw this giant mess they didn't create, and went, oh, crap.
[00:21:34]  We'll fix it.
[00:21:36]  I'll take responsibility.
[00:21:38]  That's not weakness.
[00:21:40]  That is the highest form of power.
[00:21:43]  Because power is not the ability to control others.
[00:21:48]  Power, real power, is the ability to control yourself when no one is watching.
[00:21:54]  Power is telling the truth when lies are rewarded.
[00:21:59]  Power is forgiving hatred when hatred is celebrated.
[00:22:05]  Power is building when everyone else is tearing down.
[00:22:12]  Hear my message to you.
[00:22:17]  You were not born too late.
[00:22:19]  You were born with everything you need.
[00:22:22]  All you really need is belief in yourself, and from there comes courage.
[00:22:27]  And courage is not loud.
[00:22:30]  Courage is just getting up when you've been beaten down.
[00:22:33]  Every time you fall down, you just get up again.
[00:22:36]  That's what courage is: getting up one more time after you fall.
[00:22:41]  That's it.
[00:22:44]  Courage is required now because civilizations are not saved by governments.
[00:22:53]  And people who understand their power, they fix things.
[00:23:00]  That person that will fix things is you.
[00:23:04]  So I urge you, please leave here this weekend, filled with one thing.
[00:23:11]  If you take one thing away, is that you matter, that you count, that the ultimate power is there and it channels down to you and you can accomplish anything.
[00:23:26]  So go out and do what Charlie did.
[00:23:29]  Live your life in a way that you are prepared for when the lights go out.
[00:23:35]  Do not curse the darkness.
[00:23:38]  Become the light that others will see by.
[00:23:42]  We're counting on you.
