Glenn Beck, Gov. Greg Abbott, and Kelsi Sheren dissect immigration narratives, contrasting Obama's 2.4 million deportations with Trump's record by highlighting activist obstruction rather than policy differences. They analyze Marco Rubio's Munich Security Conference speech redefining Western alliances against complacency and Rupert Lowe's "Restore Britain" party. The episode concludes with Sheren warning that Canada's $117 billion savings from expanded Medical Assistance in Dying, driven by Trudeau-era eugenics, threatens to spread to the U.S., potentially making mentally ill individuals eligible for death by 2027.

If somebody physically attacks you out of the blue right now, would you be ready?
Most people don't spend their days thinking about personal safety.
I mean, you don't like to.
Life is supposed to feel pretty normal, but normal can shift quickly.
And when it does, you don't really get a warning or, you know, the timeout to figure out your options.
That's why a lot of people are choosing to carry a Burna launcher.
It's less lethal, self-defense.
It's an option that fires powerful pepper, tear gas, and kinetic projectiles.
And it's designed to help stop a threat at a distance without using a firearm.
Legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit.
It's about having a tool where you hope you're never going to need it.
But if you do need it, situation goes bad, you've got something that actually works and puts the bad guy on the ground for about 45 minutes, enough time for you to go away and police to arrive.

Glenn Beck.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
It is Monday.
It is President's Day.
If we have time, we're going to talk a little bit about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington today.
They're worth mentioning, at least.
I know we don't take a holiday anymore, God forbid.
But welcome to it.
We're going to talk a little bit about also what Rubio said.
Really important speech.
If you have time today, you should listen to the entire speech.
It runs about 20, 25 minutes, and it is so well worth listening to every word of it.
He gave a speech at the security conference in Berlin.
Excellent, excellent speech.
Also, I want to talk to you a little bit about illegal immigration because some things that happened this weekend, I mean, it's becoming a parody, really.
It's becoming a parody comedy show with the left, but we'll get into that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.
Modern homes are marvels of engineering.
You've got everything from smart thermostats to Wi-Fi-powered cameras.
There are even refrigerators now that talk to your phone, which is scary, honestly.
I don't know what they are calling each other about, but everything is interconnected and it makes life smooth and efficient and comfortable until it doesn't and the power goes out.
Suddenly, the marvel of engineering becomes a very expensive storage box.
No lights, no heat, no ways to charge your phone, food sitting in a fridge that's slowly warming up.
Everything that felt, you know, advanced five minutes ago is now silent.
That's why I've been talking about being prepared, whether it's backup power like the Grid Doctor 3300 solar generator or long-term emergency food that doesn't depend on local electric grids.
My Patriot Supply is about to make sure that your home doesn't stop working just because the system does.
Comfort is great.
Technology is great.
Resilience, that's the best.
Go to preparewithglenn.com today.
Order the Grid Doctor generator.
You're going to get over $800 in free preparedness gifts, including a four-week survival food kit, water filtration, cookstove, and so much more.
Free gifts, not going to be around long.
Go to preparewithglenn.com.
That's preparewithglenn.com.
All right.
I want to start with a story that I read.
And I want to give it to you in two ways because everybody prioritizes facts using a story.
Stories are what makes us human.
It's what knits us together.
It's what brings us together.
It's what motivates us to lift up higher and also go to war.
Stories are important.
But how you tell the story is more important.
How can two people look at exactly the same news and see it so differently?
Because that's what we're experiencing right now.
We're seeing things happen with illegal immigration and ICE, and we're looking at the same story.
No, no, no.
We think we're looking at the same facts.
What we're doing is we're looking at two different stories.
Okay.
Depending on how you use the facts, admitting some things that don't fit, overemphasizing things that do fit your narrative, we change the actual story.
And this is the problem.
This is why we're not listening to one another.
We have to be able to find a way to hear each other.
So let me give you an example of the kind of stories that you're reading and hearing about.
Let me give you two examples.
Okay.
First, first story.
He came to America looking for something simple.
He came to America for a chance.
He left his home in Ireland alone to come to the land of opportunity.
He arrived just as so many Irishmen arrived in this country, almost nothing in his pocket, just a dream and a city that understands the Irish, Boston.
So he gets to Boston.
And like so many people before him, he finds work.
He builds a life.
He builds his own business.
He falls in love, gets married.
He builds something here in America that he couldn't build in Ireland.
And it's stable.
And it's home.
Then one day, he's just doing his business, routine stop at Home Depot, and everything changes.
Handcuffs, detention.
He's transported more than 2,000 miles away to a facility in Texas, and he spends months in this room.
He says is filthy, little sunlight.
He barely gets to see outside anymore.
Very small meals.
Uncertainty hanging over him like a fog every single day.
He doesn't know what's coming next.
He finally gets a chance to speak and he says, I feel completely forgotten.
I have a wife at home.
She's trying to hold things together, hoping against hope that maybe the system will see him more than just a number.
He has two dogs.
His wife tells the press they're waiting for him at home, wondering when he's coming back.
They wait by the door, waiting for him to come home.
Well, even people in Ireland are outraged.
Politicians in his homeland now speaking up, asking questions about how a man with a life built here ends up locked away, fearing riots, wondering whether anybody hears him.
He's an Irishman.
He came to America for a better dream.
You hear this story, you think, by the grace of God go I. All he was trying to do is build something, and now he's waiting behind a locked door, hoping somebody remembers that he's a human.
Well, I remember he's a human, and that's why if I want you to go to the GoFundMe page, it's already raised $30,000 for his legal defense.
Now, you hear that story told like that, and I can see why you might be upset.
But now let me add in facts and tell you the same tale, different story, but only because I'm adding the facts.
Let me tell you, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story.
The man in the story, and by the way, this is a real story.
This is in the, you know, in the news today.
The man who was detained by ICE didn't just arrive and build a life, but that is the story you're getting if you read anything from the left.
Okay.
What I just gave you is the story you're reading if you only read things from the left.
According to federal authorities, he entered the country under a 90-day visa waiver and he never left.
And he has remained here in the United States for more than 15 years beyond his legal status.
Now, well, I mean, he didn't know.
Nobody did anything.
No, no, no.
They tried.
An immigration judge issued a final order of removal.
They went and they picked him up.
Yes, at a Home Depot.
Officials say he was offered immediate return to Ireland, but he chose to stay in detention instead.
Well, now the Irish are very upset because he should be here.
Well, let me add some more facts.
This is the part that rarely makes the first headline.
Why did he leave Ireland?
Was it truly for the land of opportunity?
Or was it possible that he was trying to escape a life that he already had in Ireland?
You see, back in Ireland, there were drug-related charges, including allegations of intent to supply and obstruction of a police officer.
A court sought a bench warrant after he failed to appear.
Okay.
We leave out all those facts.
And sympathy is now gathering here in the United States.
And there's fundraising campaigns.
There's radio interviews, emotional appeals.
And two voices have surfaced that changed the picture a bit, but you're not hearing about these two voices.
And the two voices are his twin daughters in Ireland.
The twins, who are now about to turn 19.
They're 18.
It's an interesting number, 18, because when their father abandoned them, they were 18 months old, leaving their mother, Margaret Maggie Morrissey, to raise his two daughters all alone.
They never saw him again, never received a dime in child support.
Dad just disappeared until they heard from him briefly after his detention.
He's not a victim of circumstance.
He was a father who abandoned his children.
And then only when he was arrested did he reach out to his children, maybe hoping against hope that the children would throw sympathy his way.
And while the social media posts all are talking about his dogs waiting at home, the daughters reminded the world there were children waiting for him to come home their whole lives as well.
Same man, same facts.
But now the second story with all of the facts asks a different question.
Is this about injustice or is this consequences delayed?
How do we get to a place to where we can agree on anything?
See, we don't have the facts in common.
And when facts are intentionally omitted, the story changes.
What changed between these two stories here, not the facts, just which facts come first, which facts are delayed, which facts are admitted for a while, or maybe ever.
Because the facts, the way you position the facts, allows you, a good storyteller, to control the emotions.
Which emotions are you priming before the context arrives?
What I did in the first story was activate your compassion first.
I wanted to make sure that you understood this guy is just an immigrant, like all these thousands and thousands of immigrants that are Irish that came over to Boston.
Story two activates accountability first.
Now, both are real and both are persuasive.
And that is exactly the point.
You don't have to lie to change public opinion.
You don't.
You only have to decide what the audience feels first.
So let me go into this a little deeper here in just a second.
Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Most people want to live a life where they're proud, you know?
I'm sure you do.
I do.
And not just the big moments, but also the quiet daily decisions that add up over time.
But you want to be able to look at your children in the eye one day and say, I tried to live my values.
I tried to make choices that matched what I said I believed.
I tried not to be a hypocrite.
Sometimes I was.
Sometimes I was without even knowing it.
These are the ones that count.
The ones that you where you're not necessarily a hypocrite, but you're just you're violating what you stand for, but you didn't know it.
Your cell phone is one of those decisions, that bill that you pay.
Patriot Mobile offers nationwide coverage, competitive pricing, U.S.-based customer support, and it gives you the opportunity to make sure your money is supporting the principles that you actually believe in.
You're already paying for this phone.
You're paying for the coverage.
You're going to get the exact same coverage because they use the same exact networks.
You're going to just, you know, pay less and you're going to make sure that your money that this company makes off of that is actually going to the things you believe in.
So you can be proud of what you've done and how you've spent your money.

Hillary's Alleged Molesting Claims00:07:21
Okay.
So let me give you, well, let me give you a couple of things.
First, is anybody concentrating on the fact of what Hillary Clinton said in Berlin this week?
This last weekend, there was a big security conference.
And Hillary Clinton said something about illegal immigration that's very, very important.
Cut 11, please.
There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration.
It went too far.
It's been disruptive and destabilizing.
And it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture and kill people.
So this really, yes, migration has been a huge flashpoint.
More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term.
Stop.
I can't take it.
I can't take it.
Yes, she's absolutely right.
It's gone too far.
It was out of control.
It's disruptive.
It's destroying our societies.
More people were put into deported under her husband and Barack Obama by far than anything Donald Trump has done.
Without killing or torturing.
Okay, stop it.
Stop it right now.
Why has there been anyone who has been killed?
Why has there been a single person?
What is the difference between when your husband and Barack Obama was doing it and now?
I'll give you the only difference.
One.
There weren't left-wing activists in the street trying to thwart them at every step of the way.
There weren't politicians who were calling them Nazis for doing it.
That's the difference, Hillary.
Again, use all of the facts.
You can't just see what she just did.
She left out really important facts and she went right for it.
Look, it's a problem, but, and that's where they get you.
It's a problem, but.
Now, let me play another.
This is SOP 30.
This is a woman who is stalking ICE.
Okay.
She's in Minnesota.
She sees ICE agents.
They're taking an illegal alien and she sees it.
She spots it.
And she's there because she had heard that there was ICE activity in the area.
That immediately marks you as an extremist.
Okay.
Who are you listening to?
Where do you get that?
You're obviously following a group that wants to stop ICE.
Okay.
All right.
So she locates the dark gray Durango licensed Nebraska plates and she gives the plates where three agents inside are following a woman in her car.
They followed her to Walmart where I watched them interact.
Blah, Okay.
So she confronts the ICE agents.
Now let me play what she said.
Here's cut number 30.
This isn't a good look for you.
You think I care about my look.
No, oh, no, no, trust me.
It is evident by how you look, you don't care.
We get that.
Trust me.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I'm saying this.
Trying to be a social warrior.
If you actually cared, you probably would care about the child who got raped and also the person who got murdered by the person that we were looking for.
But see, you don't care.
No, I don't care because you guys try.
You just try to detain legal immigrants.
Okay.
This is what happens every time.
By the way, I love the sassy ICE agent.
I love, you know, this is not a good look for you.
I don't care how I look.
Oh, trust me, sweetheart.
That fashion you got going on there, Carla.
It's a train wreck.
No survivors.
We know you don't care about how you look.
I mean, I love that.
I do love that.
It's satisfying, but probably wrong to do.
This is where we end up with identity over information.
Okay.
For For the activist, one way or another, left or right, there are no longer specific facts in front of them, okay?
This is all about identity.
He is ICE.
Therefore, he's either the good guy in his head or he's the Nazi in her head, okay?
That's the role they play.
And there's no breaking that, especially when there's a camera or a crowd.
Once there's a camera or a crowd, you must perform.
Okay?
Law enforcement, you're an abuse of power.
Government institutions, you're unjust.
Then every interaction with somebody like this Karen becomes filtered through the lens of those facts before they even arrive.
She was going to find them to tell them off because they're abusing.
Doesn't matter that the guy that they were taking was a guy who was molesting children, molesting children.
This is the way our brain works, okay?
It protects identity first.
Facts come second if they come at all.
So when it says, you know, you would care, you know, if you really did care, you would be accused or you would be horrified that we were picking up somebody that was abusing children.
All she hears is blah, blah, blah.
I'm justifying my evil.
That's what she hears.
She's just hearing blah, blah, blah propaganda from the big evil government.
What's so amazing here is that both sides believe they are protecting the public from violence.
One has been trained to disregard everything that the government says.
Again, why did Hillary Clinton say there were no deaths of anybody who was just standing up against?
Because there wasn't anyone standing up against it.
And don't tell me about the cages because I was there pointing out the cages that Barack Obama was using and no one cared until Donald Trump came in and he started closing those cages down and you accused him of building cages.
Please, please, all you have to do is actually look for the facts.
So when he says a child was harmed, her brain immediately searches for the counter harm they believe is bigger.
They're not debating any facts here.
They're debating which moral lens gets priority.
And that's what we have to break.
Okay.
And again, because she came with a camera, it's theater.
When Pride Locks In00:02:22
Once the camera is rolling, the pride locks in.
The tribal signals are vital.
Backing down is betrayal.
It will make you a traitor.
Okay.
And you know this.
People say things publicly, and then when you get them aside, usually they'll be like, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
I know, blah, But there's no breakthrough that is possible when you're performing for an audience.
So how do you break through on this?
Let me show you.
Let me show you how you break through.
And not everybody's going to hear the breakthrough.
It may be more important for the members of the audience to see.
We'll give you that here in a second.
First, rapid radios, when you're camping with a group in the middle of nowhere, you know, you're working on a ranch with limited reception.
I can relate to that.
You're running a construction crew that cannot afford miscommunication.
There's one thing you have in common.
You need clear, reliable communication accurately, quickly.
When people are spread out, when conditions change quickly or when coordination matters, can you hear me is not a phrase that you want to have to keep repeating as you're talking to your team.
That's why RAD1, Rapid Radios, is so important.
It's a rugged, ready-to-go communication tool designed for real-world environments where you don't depend on spotty reception or cross your fingers that a call will go through.
Think of a walkie-talkie.
That walkie-talkie was also Rambo.
You charge it, you turn it on, you stay connected.
When everybody is on the same page, things tend to run smoother, safer, and faster.
Because whether you're out in the wilderness or managing a job site, clear communication is not just a luxury.
It's an absolute necessity.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Just got a couple of comments from insiders.
Widening the View Beyond Fear00:15:21
I'm talking about the story about, well, two stories.
One in Minnesota, a woman who's tracking down ice and yelling at them as they're trying to deport somebody who literally had been raping children.
And then the second story was about this guy who is an Irish immigrant who came here to start a new life, yada, yada, yada.
But half that story has been left out.
The story that he was wanted in Ireland, he left behind his family and two 18-month-old children and came over here and started and then only reached out to his children 18 years later because he was in trouble over here in America.
Okay, so let me tell you the rest of those stories here in a second and how you can communicate.
But somebody wrote in, who was it that wrote in?
Tracy.
Okay, Tracy who said what.
So thank you so much for the first immigrant story on the Ireland dad.
Poor Seamus.
My daughter has been inundating me with this type of story.
I try, but I cannot find the facts.
I wonder why.
And thank you for confirming what I had suspected.
There is more to the story.
Of course there is.
There always is more to the story.
And they are always left out.
Okay, so now that you have the facts, how are you going to talk to your daughter about it?
Because giving her the facts won't be enough.
You need to know how to talk to people on the other side.
And I'm, believe me, I am a lot of the stuff I say on the air, the person that needs to hear it the most is me.
So let's learn this together, if you will.
What is the question that will open the door for anybody to hear you?
Okay.
It's not, how can you not care about the victim?
Because they see a victim, and that victim is real or not.
They see a victim, you see a victim, and they're different.
So you can't say, how can you not care about the kid that was raped?
Okay.
Or in the case with the Irish guy, how can you not care about the two daughters?
You need to ask this to open the door.
What would you need to see to believe the situation might be different from the abuses that you're worried about?
Okay.
Ask them questions.
Always ask questions and separate them from the ideology.
Because if you say you're wrong, they feel attacked.
They'll fight.
you say, wow, I can understand how you're suspicious on this.
Government has done so many bad things.
Government has lied a lot.
And a lot of people are worried about this.
Can we look into this case, this specific case, a little deeper here?
You're lowering their shield.
You're giving them the wind.
Do you trust?
Do you trust the government?
Because I don't.
And that's the thing that we all have in common.
They don't trust the government.
Neither do we.
So let's give on that one.
You know what?
I understand that.
A lot of people are suspicious.
And I'm very suspicious of our government.
But let's look at this particular, this individual case specifically together.
You want to protect innocent people.
I want to protect innocent people.
You want to prevent abuse from the government.
I want to prevent abuse from the government.
I want fairness.
You want fairness.
Let's start there, but let's start with the facts here.
Okay.
This is the part that you instinctively might understand.
Okay.
It's why our it's why that monologue with the two points of view actually works.
If you can honestly hold two truths at once, you can make all kinds of progress.
Okay.
And that is, one, yeah, you should fear the government.
You should fear the government.
You should fear the government overreach.
Our founders were against that.
Our founders warned us that government is fire.
So yeah, okay, there's one truth and I'm with you on that.
Are you also worried about violent crime and children being raped?
Because I know you are.
You're my daughter.
You're my son.
I know you.
That is important.
Those two things can be true.
And it's in that space where we can have a dialogue.
Okay.
Some people are not going to be reached, you know, in the moment.
Some people are just, I mean, if there's a, if there's a camera, it's over.
Okay.
When identity and ego and audience combine, the persuasion rate drops almost to zero.
So in that case, if there is a camera, the person that you are trying to appeal to is not the person yelling.
This is really important.
If a camera is rolling, you are no longer, this is Martin Luther King, you are no longer trying to persuade the person who's yelling at you.
You're now arguing for the people who are watching who haven't fully made up their minds yet.
They don't know they can be persuaded.
That's where minds move.
So once there's a camera, stop performing for that person and start understanding the audience that you're trying to attract and to appeal to are the reasonable people who still have an open mind and want to see which one is going to act like a normal human being.
Okay.
You don't break through by shouting louder than the crowd.
You break through by speaking to the person who is standing quietly behind the crowd, wondering, is there another way to see the world than these two points of view?
Because that's what we're trying to do.
So let me tell you the three stories that happen in the parking lot in Minnesota.
No battlefield, no courtroom, no history book, just a parking lot.
Three different stories happening at the same time.
Layer one, the activist.
She sees agents with badges and unmarked cars.
She doesn't see safety.
She sees power.
Now, maybe she's watched videos for years that convince her that our government is, you know, is just abusing people and killing people.
Maybe she believes the weak are always one step away from being crushed by the system, whatever.
So she steps forward, camera in hand.
She thinks she's doing something brave.
She believes she's standing between the vulnerable and the machine.
And when the agent says, we're looking for somebody accused of raping children, her mind is not going to process this information.
It processes that information as some sort of justification.
Because once trust is gone, every explanation sounds like an excuse.
She doesn't trust them.
She doesn't trust it.
So it doesn't matter what they say.
Layer two, the agents.
Now step into the agent's shoes for a second.
They're not seeing ideology.
They're seeing names on warrants, reports, victims, paperwork that says someone dangerous might be close by.
They're thinking about the people who don't get interviews on social media.
The child harmed, the family that lost somebody, the victim who doesn't get their camera pointed their way.
To them, interruption is not a protest.
It feels like obstruction, especially when people are chanting death threats to them.
So when somebody says, I don't care, that lands on them as a punch.
Because from their side of the glass, this isn't about politics.
It's about prevention and stopping somebody who has raped a child.
Now the third participant in this, the silent majority.
And that's everybody else.
The people who are watching this clip later that night, the mom doing dishes, the dad, you know, scrolling, you know, in the garage, the teenager trying to figure out what the truth even looks like anymore.
And they watch one version of the video and they think, how could somebody defend that?
Then they watch another version and they think, how did we get to a country where this feels normal?
They're not radicals.
The third group is tired.
And all they're trying to do is decide which fear is bigger, the fear of unchecked power or the fear of rising chaos.
Okay, that's the real story here.
All three perspectives are completely incomplete.
All three of those.
The activists might be missing the victims.
The agents might be missing the distrust that people feel that's legitimate.
And the audiences at home, they're being asked to choose a side before they've even heard the whole story.
It's who makes, who appeals to their emotions.
Because modern media rewards emotion first, context much, much later, if context comes at all.
It's all about how does it make you feel.
And civilizations collapse when people stop believing the other side could possibly be acting in good faith, when every disagreement becomes proof of evil, when every fact becomes propaganda, when empathy becomes surrender.
So maybe the question isn't who won the argument in the parking lot.
Maybe the question is, how many people watched it?
How many people became a little more certain that their fellow Americans are the enemy?
Because if that number keeps rising, the parking lot isn't just the beginning.
Okay.
So how do you talk to these people?
You've got to start where they are, not where you want them.
You know, most people encounter that story on both sides through empathy.
A man detained far from home, harsh conditions, wife speaking publicly, dogs waiting for him.
If you begin with you're being manipulated, you lose people instantly.
Instead, start with empathy.
I understand why people feel sympathy for this guy because, I mean, nobody likes the idea of somebody sitting in detention for months, you know, not knowing what's going on.
His wife, what did she do?
The dogs.
I get it.
You're not surrendering here.
You're lowering the temperature so you can add some things to the pot.
Okay.
Then you have to introduce the missing frame, not the attack.
Don't say, but he's a bad guy.
Say, can we widen the frame here?
Can we just for a second?
Let's step back and look at a bigger picture here.
He overstayed a 90-day visa by many, many years.
Final order of removal came from a judge.
The opportunity for him to leave was available to him.
The reason why he didn't want to go back is because he had drug-related charges in Ireland.
Also, he abandoned his daughters, saying the daughters are saying they're abandoned and unsupported.
I mean, you're a daughter.
If dad would have left and left mom alone for 18 years, no child support, no, nothing, nothing.
Doesn't that need to be included in this?
Widen the frame.
When you say, can we just widen the frame a little bit?
I agree with what you're seeing.
Let's widen the frame just a little bit.
That is showing, I believe in fairness.
I'm not going to dismiss everything you say.
I see what you're saying.
And then shift from the person to the pattern.
This is a critical move.
If you focus only on him, people will think you're arguing immigration policy.
Instead, you need to say, this is not about one man.
This is about how stories get built.
Okay?
The first narrative, wife plus dogs plus detention, compassion.
That's what it equals.
You add the missing details.
The perception changes.
People rarely resist when you make it about media literacy rather than politics.
Nobody trusts the media.
Use the terms, both things can be true.
This is so critical because it breaks the binary thinking, which we're all trained.
There's only right or wrong, right or wrong, right or wrong.
It can be true that detention conditions should be humane, but it also is true that full legal and family history matters.
And when people realize you don't have to abandon compassion to acknowledge the facts, maybe they'll relax a little bit.
And when they relax, then you can point to the real danger because the real danger is not immigration.
The real danger here is emotional framing replacing facts.
A story designed to trigger sympathy before context appears.
Selective humanization.
They're humanizing the guy, but dehumanizing ICE.
Some victims are centered.
Others disappear.
What about the children?
The abandoned children?
What about the children on the other guy that was raping children?
What about them?
People pick aside before hearing the full record.
That is a real, real problem.
The danger is not that people feel compassion.
The danger is when compassion gets steered by omission.
So instead of confrontation, use things like, but can I widen this view for you a little bit?
Did you hear that?
Can we zoom out for a minute?
Because there's this fact.
You know, I felt that way too.
I understand how you feel until I heard fill in the blank.
Ask the question, what would change if both stories are true?
Anything change for you if both stories are true?
Invite thinking instead of triggering defense.
Because what we're doing right now is triggering defense.
What never works is you care more about the dogs than you do about kids.
Label, you're just so naive.
You know, all of you people, you just have bad intent.
Lead with accusations, you'll fail every time.
Those things only harden the identity.
The danger isn't that we feel sympathy.
The danger is when sympathy is handed before the whole story arrives.
Tell them the whole story.
People don't change when you prove them wrong.
They change when they realize I didn't have all the facts.
And your goal is not to win the argument about the Irishman.
Your goal is to teach people how to notice a story when it is trying to think for them.

Vital that you understand what happened.
We just came off Valentine's Day, which is supposed to be about flowers and cards and nice dinners.
But if you really think about it, love isn't proven by chocolate, although I could make a very good case for it.
It's proven by what you do to protect the people who matter most when life doesn't go according to plan.
This is one of the reasons I'm such a believer in Jace Medical.
I started thinking about the people in my life, my family, my friends, and I asked myself, if something happens and they can't get help right away, have I done everything I can ahead of time?
Have you ever asked this question yourself?
The Jace case is a set of doctor-prescribed antibiotics, emergency medications that you order online, have shipped straight to your door.
It's about being ready for the real-world scenarios that we all hope never will happen.
And it's not just a JACE case.
Their doctors also offer preparedness options from long-term supplies of daily meds to practical first aid support.
It is great.

Hello, America.
I'm just debating in my head whether I'm going to play the full Marco Rubio speech because I think it was a fantastic speech and a speech that every American needs to hear.
I'll play just the first few minutes of it because it is critical that you hear what he did in Munich, but not just for him.
He wasn't just talking about Munich.
He was talking also, I believe, showing us how we can heal our nation as well as heal the rifts between us in the world.
I'll get into that here in a second.
First, let me tell you about American financing.
Do you know what the beginning of financial success looks like?
It doesn't look like a lottery ticket.
It doesn't look like a flashy investment you brag about at dinner.
It looks like making money work for you, not the other way around.
For a lot of people, the biggest obstacle isn't their income.
It's the debt structure that they have.
It's a mortgage they haven't reviewed in years, credit card balances that are silently accruing interest or a loan that made sense at one point, but no longer fits the reality of your life.
These are the areas where Americans get themselves into trouble most regularly.
So naturally, that's where American financing comes in.
They have salaried in-house loan consultants.
They don't make a bonus off of selling you something, okay?
They look at the big picture, whether it means lowering your monthly payment, consolidating high interest debt, or restructuring your loan so it actually aligns with your long-term goals.
Financial success, not a single moment.

All right.
So let me start with what Rubio did yesterday.
Unifying Memory and Heritage00:16:17
Yesterday, he was at the Munich Security Conference.
The first year, 1963, that this happened, Europe wasn't a theory.
It was a battlefield waiting for the world to make its next move.
Two years before this, barbed wire had just sprung up.
in Berlin.
The Berlin Wall was created.
And it separated families overnight.
Overnight, families living on that side of the street could no longer go to this side of the street.
And the line between freedom and communism was no longer metaphorical.
Play cut the cut where it's the first half, please.
Do you have that?
I don't have the number in front of me.
We gather here today as members of a historic alliance, an alliance that saved and changed the world.
You know, when this conference began in 1963, it was in a nation, actually, it was on a continent, that was divided against itself.
The line between communism and freedom ran through the heart of Germany.
The first barbed fences of the Berlin Wall had gone up just two years prior.
And just months before that first conference, before our predecessors first met here, here in Munich, the Cuban Missile Crisis had brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction.
Even as World War II still burned fresh in the memory of Americans and Europeans alike, we found ourselves staring down the barrel of a new global catastrophe.
One with the potential for a new kind of destruction more apocalyptic and final than anything before in the history of mankind.
At the time of that first gathering, Soviet communism was on the march.
Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in the balance.
At that time, victory was far from certain.
But we were driven by a common purpose.
We were unified not just by what we were fighting against.
We were unified by what we were fighting for.
And together, Europe and America prevailed.
And a continent was rebuilt.
Our people prospered.
In time, the East and West blocs were reunited.
A civilization was once again made whole.
That infamous wall that had cleaved this nation into two came down, and with it an evil empire.
And the East and West became one again.
But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion that we had entered, quote, the end of history, that every nation would now be a liberal democracy, that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood, that the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest.
And that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.
This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history.
And it has cost us dearly.
In this delusion, we embraced a dogmatic vision of free and unfettered trade, even as some nations protected their economies and subsidized their companies to systematically undercut ours, shuttering our plants, resulting in large parts of our societies being deindustrialized, shipping millions of working and middle-class jobs overseas, and handing control of our critical supply chains to both adversaries and rivals.
We increasingly outsourced our sovereignty to international institutions while many nations invested in massive welfare states at the cost of maintaining the ability to defend themselves.
This, even as other countries have invested in the most rapid military buildup in all of human history and have not hesitated to use hard power to pursue their own interests.
To appease a climate cult, we have imposed energy policies on ourselves that are impoverishing our people, even as our competitors exploit oil and coal and natural gas and anything else, not just to power their economies, but to use as leverage against our own.
And in a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people.
We made these mistakes together.
And now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward to rebuild.
Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization's past.
And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe.
For the United States and Europe...
Stop.
I think this, I think the rest of this, you just pick up yourself.
I think this speech was one of the best speeches I have heard from a leader in a very long time.
What he's doing is he's closing the book now on what Donald Trump did over at the WEF.
WEF, Donald Trump came in as the hammer and said, here it is.
Here's what we're doing.
Join us or not.
Now the statesman comes in and says, listen, let me restate everything.
Let me tell you what you feel is not necessarily reality.
So let me tell you what you should be focused on and listen to what he's done.
There's a pattern to this speech that is so important, I think, in our everyday lives.
You want to convince somebody how to do something?
Follow the pattern Marco Rubio is following here.
Listen to this pattern.
He starts with a unifying memory.
Then he states the problem.
Then he states the intent and the goal.
Then he invites people to join.
He invokes the memory again and shows the promise that the goal will accomplish if we remember the memory that he started with.
Okay?
So let me take you through this.
He starts with the memory.
He reminds the people in the room that NATO didn't appear because leaders liked each other.
It formed because they believed at the time the free world may not survive.
Hear me.
That's why NATO was started.
Because they didn't know if the free world could survive without this organization.
We're in this situation now, but NATO has become so bastardized, it doesn't even know what it's good for anymore.
And Marco Rubio is standing up and saying, hey, you got to remember, because at the beginning, the Cold War, victory wasn't certain.
Civilization, Western civilization, felt very fragile.
But we stood together because we weren't just fighting communism.
We were fighting for something, not against something.
How many times have we said, I'm so tired of fighting against.
I just would like to fight for something.
That's what he's inviting them to do.
He's reminding them that at the beginning, we fought for a shared history, a shared culture, a shared faith, shared sovereignty, the idea that people should govern themselves, that we weren't communists.
We didn't silence people.
And then he argued that we fought for this this whole time, but when the Berlin Wall fell, we made a fatal mistake.
He calls it the dangerous delusion, the end of history, okay?
The belief that the markets would guarantee peace, that everybody was going to be the same in the markets.
And it just didn't make any sense when it was said.
And you knew it and I knew it, but somehow or another, all these people didn't know it, all the leaders of the world, that they believed that national identity could dissolve into some global system.
But that's not true.
That borders didn't matter anymore, that money didn't matter anymore, that we could deindustrialize ourselves.
We could get in bed with our enemies because maybe it was going to be good and we can change them.
And then he said something really important.
We made these mistakes together.
He's invoking the memory because he is saying, look, when we remembered who we were, what we were fighting for, we accomplished great things.
Once we forgot, the West became complacent.
Okay?
Victory made the West complacent.
And if you listen to what he's really saying here is, we didn't lose our strength because someone conquered us.
We lost it because we assumed world history as we know it was over.
That was the message in Munich.
Because Munich itself as a city is a warning label in history, a city forever linked to the cost of denial and wishful thinking.
Oh, we can just live side by side with it.
You can't.
Rubio walked an amazing, amazing line.
He criticized Europe's direction, weak defense spending, outsourced industry, immigration pressures, but he wrapped the criticism in reassurance.
He told Europe, we belong together.
We want strong allies.
We don't want dependent allies.
If we're going to win, we've got to do it together.
Now, this isn't accidental here.
His mission wasn't to break the alliance.
It was to redefine it.
Donald Trump came in and said, this is over.
Now Rubio is coming in and he's saying, look, that's over, but this is something new.
And I warn you, America will go it alone.
But we don't want to.
He's telling everybody in Europe and any American listening that civilization will only survive when it remembers who it is, what it is.
But let me play the last minute and 10 seconds here, because how was it received?
For him to get applause is remarkable.
For him to get a standing ovation, no one said that was even possible.
But listen to the last minute here.
We want to do it together with you.
With a Europe that is proud of its heritage and of its history.
With a Europe that has the spirit of creation and liberty that sent ships out into uncharted seas and birthed our civilization.
With a Europe that has the means to defend itself and the will to survive.
We should be proud of what we achieved together in the last century.
But now we must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one.
Because yesterday is over.
The future is inevitable.
And our destiny together awaits.
Thank you.
And they begin to stand.
Slowly at first, and by the end, everyone in the room is giving him a standing ovation.
That was an epic, epic speech.
Marco Rubia, more on this here in just a second, because I want to go a little deeper on this in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Legacy Box.
Your kids grow up so fast, it almost feels unfair.
One day they're small enough to fall asleep on your chest, and the next they're borrowing the car and telling you they'll be back later.
Wait, what does that mean?
And in between, the change is constant.
The voices shift, faces mature, the little personalities turn into really big ones.
And that's why the old photos and home movies matter so much.
They're not just cute moments.
They're evidence.
Evidence of who they were and who you were with them.
The problem is a lot of those memories are just sitting on VHS tapes and camcorder cassettes or film reels.
You can't even play anymore.
Technology moved on and your history got left behind.
Legacy Box is going to take those tapes and photos and they're going to digitize them so you can see them again.
You can share them again without worrying that time is going to make them obsolete or erase them.
Because it's not just nice to look back.
It is important to remember.
Don't let your family story fade away on old tapes.
Time to digitize your future and future-proof those priceless moments.

So Ricky just asked me a question.
Why does it matter?
Why does it matter if we're united with Europe?
It matters because, as he said in this, we share the same heritage.
If we lose Europe, if they lose themselves, we're the last bastion of Western heritage that is standing.
And that's not good enough for the world.
Western civilization changed the entire world, you know?
And what he's trying to invoke there, he's trying to say, look, do you understand where you are in history right now?
You remember in the Berlin Wall, soldiers staring at each other through rifle sights.
Freedom was at stake and people had to stand every day.
And if you don't do that, then tyranny wins.
But they stood because they remembered the war.
They remembered the camps.
They remembered the silence that comes when good people convince themselves somebody else is going to handle the danger.
That's what happened last time.
And because they remembered, they acted.
He's begging them, remember, remember who you are.
Because memory demands something of you.
You know, when you remember, you remember that you've seen this story before.
You know where the road leads.
And memory doesn't let you pretend that you didn't see the warning signs.
Success makes us forget.
And that's what he went into.
Success, the Berlin Wall coming down.
We all believed history was over and we thought freedom was automatic and we traded our vigilance for comfort and we assumed that technology and markets and good intentions could replace courage.
And history, patient, relentless history, has stepped up to the plate again as it always does and taps us on the shoulder and says, wait a minute, your survival is not guaranteed.
And you guys in Europe are going to fall before we do.
And that line, one of my favorite lines in the speech is, you have to make the choice.
Why We Traded Vigilance for Comfort00:03:29
Survival is a choice.
It's not inevitable that you survive.
It's not inevitable that we fail.
It is our choice.
And that choice should be enough to wake us up.
But is it?
The real question remains of whether we're going to remain free if we choose, if we choose to remember who we actually are.
So he was speaking to Europe and did a great job.
Let me speak to you.
Are you teaching your children who we are?
Can you defend the principles that made us free?
Do you remember the sacrifices that built the world that all of us inherited?
Or are they just old stories that no longer apply?
Every generation faces this decision, but we are a generation that doesn't have the families sitting around at the dinner table forced to listen to the elders at the table tell the stories of where we came from.
We've lost so much of this.
It's not just the schools, it's our families as well.
The generation of World War II chose survival by sacrifice.
The generation of the Cold War chose survival with courage and patience.
But we, I think, face the toughest of them all because it's comfort.
Are we going to live in this denial and slowly come to our demise where we will wake up at the end and we're going to be very uncomfortable in the end?
But are we going to wake up out of our comfort and choose freedom?
Forgetting is really super easy.
That's why I think it's the worst foe we could face.
Because forgetting feels compassionate.
Forgetting feels modern.
It feels safe.
But forgetting is how civilizations sleepwalk into decline.
Memory is what keeps the lights on.
Memory tells us freedom requires limits and responsibilities.
Memory tells us the people who built this world were not perfect, but they understood something we risked losing.
Survival requires intention.
Wait a minute.
All right.
Mercury 1, you know, we talk a lot about self-reliance in the country, you know, about reducing dependence on government, taking responsibility for our own communities.
But that philosophy only means something when our communities are actually prepared to step in when disaster strikes.
During Hurricane Helene in 2024, families were stranded on rooftops waiting for help.
It took days for FEMA and the Red Cross to fully mobilize.
When you're sitting in rising water, days feel like forever.
But within 24 hours, Mercury 1 was on the scene.
We had private helicopters rescuing people, life-saving care being delivered, shelter, search and rescue support, internet access, more than 332,000 pounds of critical supplies, oxygen, insulin, heaters, generators, food, water, diapers, all of that.
And that was all made possible only through the loyalty, the Mercury One One Loyalty Society.

We're stacking exclusive perks for Torch Insider, stuff nobody else gets, but our inflation-proof membership expires at the end of this month.
Get it now.
glennbeck.com slash torch we're talking about uh marco rubio's speech in berlin this week and And I want to take it over to England.
I mean, the main point that we need to get out of Europe right now is they know it's over.
They know that what they're doing is not going to work.
And as Marco Rubio said, we did it too.
We were there.
We're just changing because of Donald Trump.
We have woken up and we're changing.
And we have to do something different.
And that begins with remembering who you are.
Okay.
I'm going to come back to that point here in a sec.
Just remember, remember who you are.
First, let me give you something.
This is from an MP in Great Britain.
Over the weekend, he posted on X and he launched a new political party.
I want you to hear this, Cut One, Rupert Lowe.
I have chosen to speak to you today from the farm because places like this represent what proper Britain is about.
Hard work, responsibility, effort, duty, stewardship.
This is the England I know and this is the England that I love.
On a farm, you don't think in election cycles or headlines or polling.
You think in seasons.
You think in generations, in what you leave behind to those who come after you.
And that's why, here on the farm, I am now launching Restore Britain as a national political party.
I'm now going to dedicate my life to finding, organising, funding, and providing hundreds of qualified candidates to present to the British people at the next general election.
This process has already started, with invitations being issued to patriots in aligned political parties, Reform, the Conservatives, the SDP, Advance, and more.
The men and women standing for Restore in that election will not be politicians.
I promise you that.
They will not be failed ministers.
They will not be tainted by failures of the past.
They will be from business, from the military, from science, from medicine, from education, from industry, representing real communities up and down the country.
Every single one will be from well outside the existing political establishment, and every single one will understand the difficult decisions that need to be taken.
Because there are no easy fixes.
I'm not going to tell you comforting lies about the condition of our country.
I have only ever been honest with the British people, and I will be straight with you now.
What is necessary will be incredibly painful.
But for the first time in a very long time, voters will have a genuine alternative, which is truthful with them about the scale of what now has to be done.
Okay, so this is a guy who he led the inquiry into the Pakistani rape game, rape gangs, which failed spectacularly.
I mean, I don't know how you're a politician and you vote against an inquiry into the rape gangs, but they did it in overwhelming numbers.
Fisher Carriage's Bold Pivot00:08:09
And so he's had enough.
This is coming.
I got to tell you, I really think with everything the way it is going now with the Justice Department and if Congress fails on the SAVE Act, you're going to start to see this kind of thing happening in America.
You're going to say, I'm done with the Republicans.
Done with the Democrats, but done with the Republicans.
You get the same old crap every time.
And you're going to see people like him saying, I will finance.
And it'll probably be Elon Musk.
And good luck with that, Republicans.
You know, vote against the SAVE Act at your own peril.
Okay.
I've got a couple of examples of what is happening over in Europe where this kind of thing is taking hold now.
What Rubio was talking about this weekend was this system has failed.
And Donald Trump is going a completely different direction.
And we will lead the way, at least for our people.
And we would love to have you join us in this.
But you have to restore common sense.
You cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again.
This system doesn't work.
And we all know it.
Just we're the first ones to admit it.
It doesn't work.
So what do you do?
I mean, have you ever worked for a failing company?
Have you ever worked for, I remember I was 18 years old and I worked for WPGC.
And it was one of the first real top 40 radio stations in the country.
It was the one that financed the Beatles to come over for the Ed Sullivan show.
And the deal was come over for the Ed Sullivan show, and then you come down and do a concert in Washington, D.C. for us at WPGC.
They led the way on rock and roll for forever.
I mean, I remember I was going through the archives.
I'm 18 years old, and they put me in charge of the archives.
And I go through the archives, and I find this picture of John, Paul, George, and Ringo in WPGC t-shirts.
I have never seen a picture of the Beatles in a radio station t-shirt before.
And I was brought in as the station was starting to fail.
And so I was part of the team.
And we used to talk about it in the hallways.
We're going to be remembered as the team that was the demise of this great radio station.
And I hated it, hated it.
And no one would listen to reason and restore.
WPGC is still in Washington, D.C.
It's a success again, but it's not a top 40 station.
But, you know, it was a success.
If you've ever worked for a company going down, you know, there are many options in front of you.
You can give up and give in, and you can say, let it go.
Doesn't matter.
Let it go.
I'm not one of those people because I like history.
I know what history means.
And when it comes to Western civilization, how could you make the case that it's worth letting go?
You could only make a case if you've been carefully taught that Western civilization means nothing except bad things.
And you're misinformed on that.
And it's going to be a dangerous awakening when you finally get the real news on what the Western civilization is.
This is why I keep saying we're already in World War III.
We're fighting World War III.
You just don't know it yet.
Islam is on the move.
And what is their target?
Western civilization.
You take down Western civilization and they occupy those countries, which they've been trying to do for a thousand plus years.
They occupy those countries.
They now, A, have nuclear weapons.
And if they occupy those countries, you no longer have what built us.
You no longer have where we all came from.
You no longer have the memory because the memory will be erased.
So you can work for a company and you have a choice.
You're going to go for the hostile takeover and they'll sell off all the parts.
You can come up with, this is what WPGC did, a whole new plan.
They were like, okay, we're not that anymore.
We don't care about that history.
And they worked hard to erase the history of who they were.
And they eventually were successful, but they aren't what they were.
And, you know, maybe that doesn't matter when it comes to a radio station, but it does when it comes to a culture.
Or you can see the writing on the wall and you can go, okay, what we are is really, really important.
And I see the future.
We're going to keep doing what we do best, but we will adapt to the new realities.
And so you restart the company.
You have the same company, same goals, but you're achieving them in different ways.
And let me give you a real world example.
1908, a company, Fisher Carriage, it makes wooden carriages.
It makes the, you know, everything back then, the horse, you know, and buggy and the carriage for the car, you know, early on, the cars, they were all wooden.
And then they would slap some metal on top of them, but there was a wooden frame underneath.
And that's what Fisher Carriage did.
Fisher Carriage made the greatest suspension and carriages in America.
They saw what was coming, and that is the automobile and started making wooden carriages.
And they made good wooden carriages.
By 19, I mean, look at this, 1910, they were known as the carriage company to make wooden cars.
But they saw what was coming, and they realized we have to get into steel.
By 1919, GM comes in.
Fisher carriages, the important part of the car, not the engine, just the rest of the car, they have a choice.
We can either just keep doing what we've been doing, make carriages for, you know, horses and everything else, but we believe the car is the future.
And they had slowly retooled what they had been doing.
And by 1920, 1919, they're purchased by GM.
Now GM, because they had strategically made partnerships, they saw the future.
They saw that it was cards.
So they made strategic partnerships.
They were going to build the carriages for Cadillac.
They were going to be making all of the carriages for all of the different companies under the GM label.
Now, that was kind of scary because you're going up against Ford.
But Ford wasn't changing.
He wasn't willing to change.
Fisher Carriage is willing to change.
When I was growing up, you would open the door of a Cadillac or anything, any card made by GM, you would open the door and there would be a little plate, and it was a little blue plate, and it had a horse and carriage logo on it.
Just had that carriage.
Like, you know, you see the, I don't know, the queen or the princess, you know, going in in a Disney movie.
Saw that and it said underneath, Fisher made, no, a carriage or a body made by Fisher.
Okay.
Preserving Western Civilization Through Change00:05:03
May I suggest that we understand that times have changed and we want our country to survive and we want the Western civilization to survive.
And so we can't sit here and say, we make horse and buggies.
We make the buggies for the horse and that's all we're ever going to do.
We see the world is changing and has changed and we adapt so we don't lose who we are.
We do it in a different way.
We do it in a better way, but we hold our values and what made us a country in the first place.
We don't throw everything out and we don't hold on to the crap that doesn't work.
Get rid of that crap.
It's over.
Those days are over.
Great.
What made us a great country in the first place?
Let's remember those things.
Let's restore those things and then let's adapt those to today's issues and problems.
I think that's what Rubio was saying.
And he was challenging Europe.
And at the same time, he was reminding America, this is what Donald Trump is challenging America to do as well.
We're going to do it.
Join us.
That was the last part.
Remember, I told you he had this great pattern.
Start with a unifying memory.
Bring people together.
Remember what we were?
Then state the problem.
Here's the problem.
It doesn't work anymore.
Then state the intent.
We want to preserve Western civilization.
The next step was invite them to join.
And we don't want to do it alone.
We want to do it with you because we're family.
Invoke the memory again.
We came from you.
And then the last step was show the promise that the goal will accomplish.
If we do this and do this together, we will be stronger.
We will preserve Western civilization, but it will work so much easier and so much better if we do it together.

So Marco Rubio did not tell these people anything that they didn't already know.
I was reading their security conference.
You go to securityconference.org for the Munich Security Report, and this is what they write, ready?
Quote, both domestically and internationally, political structures are now perceived as overly bureaucraticized, judicialized, and impossible to reform and adapt to better serve the people's needs.
What does that say?
The result is a climate in which those who employ bulldozers, wrecking balls, and chainsaws are cautiously admired, if not openly celebrated.
This says revolution is coming.
So what are they going to do?
They have two choices.
They can either arm up and make the state stronger and dig in for a revolution, which will not go well, or they can actually make the changes that Donald Trump has been trying to make.
And that's why, honestly, that's why the Save Act is so important.
Texas School Choice Revolution00:15:17
You've got to give the trust back to the American people.
By the way, the SAVE Act, the next thing is that the Republicans have the numbers to get it out of conference and onto the floor.
We just got Susan Collins to agree to vote for it, but it's all going to come down to John Thune.
Is he able to and willing to pull this off and make sure that it has to be a standing filibuster?
And that could last weeks.
Does he have the spine to do it?
You know, there was a time when made in America actually meant something that you could feel deep down in your bones.
You know, you could tell by the weight of the fabric and the way they held out year after year after year.
The fact is, it was built by people who took pride in their work.
We made things that were great.
A lot of that disappeared when everything started to become cheaper and be made overseas faster, farther away.
American Giant decided to bring that standard back, and they make their clothing right here in the United States using American cotton, American workers who know their craft.
They came in and they started buying old factories and then they said, we're going to keep this factory alive and then we're going to bring in the old equipment that nobody's trained on anymore that made it the right way.
When you try on their hoodie, you'll be blown away.

In Texas, they have been wanting school choice forever.
And they've had a governor who was Republican and a Senate and a House have been Republican over and over and over again, and nobody could ever get it done.
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, just got it done.
And today they made an announcement, the Texas Comptroller announced that 100,000 families have applied now for the Texas Education Freedom of Count.
That's School Choice.
The governor is doing his first interview on that with us in 60 seconds.
Let's get right to it.
First, let me tell you about Rapid Radios.
The next generation in walkie-talkie communication.
This is so inappropriate to call this a walkie-talkie because it's not.
I mean, I don't know how else to describe it, but you probably think it's something from your childhood made out of cheap plastic, you know?
That's not this.
That was then.
This is now.
The RAD1 from Rapid Radios is built for real-world communication.
It's rugged, it's ready.
It's designed for people who can't afford static drop signals or confusion when clarity really matters.
When you're coordinating your crew, you're working at a ranch, you're traveling even with family, you just want a reliable way to stay connected when conditions are not perfect.
The RAD1 gives you a direct line of communication that does not feel fragile or outdated.
You charge it, you turn it on, you talk.
It's simple, powerful.
When moments need to be clear in communication, not just convenient, it's critical.
This is not some cheap toy from the 90s.
It's a modern tool for people who expect their equipment to work when they do.
The new RAD1, officially live, head on over to rapidradios.com, get the radio built for real life.
Real life communication redefined only at rapidradios.com.
Governor Greg Abbott is joining us now.
Governor, congratulations on the news.
It broke this morning.
100,000 students have applied for Texas School Choice.
I think you've been vindicated a little bit.
100%.
Listen, this is the biggest and best burl out of school choice in the history of the United States of America.
And it's really a game changer for education in our state.
You know, one thing about school choice is it provides school competition.
And what we want to see is the competition in public education, private education, homeschool education.
And when we have that, it is going to lead to better educational products for all the kids in the state of Texas.
And listen, this can be done in the state of Texas.
There is a lot of talk that this could sweep across the United States and truly transform education in the country.
But let's kind of go back because listen, Glenn, this time last year, there were a lot of people, maybe most people, who said that there was no way we were going to get school choice passed in the state of Texas.
You were on my show about a year ago and I said, governor, please, been promised forever.
You're going to get it done.
And you said, I'm going to get it done.
Come hell or high water.
I'll keep them in session.
I'll get it done.
Well, and, you know, speaking of which, but the session before this last one, I did keep them in session.
I had to require four special sessions, lasting all the way until December of that year.
And in that time, we still didn't get it passed.
And then I had to go on the campaign trail, actually campaigning against Republican House members to make sure that we elected members to the Texas House of Representatives who were going to support school choice, which was being demanded by their own voters.
So we got those legislators elected.
Then we still had to jump through all the hoops through the session and get it passed.
And after the session was over, I signed the largest day one school choice program in the history of America.
Then the sign-up applications by parents began earlier this month in early February.
And we had the largest day one sign-up by the number of applicants of any state in the history of the United States of America.
More than 42,000 families sign up on day one for school choice.
And as you pointed out earlier, we now have more than 100,000 people who are applying for it.
And it goes to the point that you made, and that is that this is vindication.
I would use the word clarification.
I knew all along that parents desperately wanted to find a way that would provide their children with the best pathway to educate their child.
And for many of them, listen, Glenn, many parents, they want their child to go to the local public school, and that is the right choice for them.
But we know that for other parents and other kids, another pathway may be the best pathway.
And now those parents in the state of Texas have that alternative pathway.
Can you tell me either the demographics or the income brackets that are mostly benefiting from this?
Because there's people who say this is going to benefit the rich, blah, Who's actually applied?
Do you know yet?
I do.
We do.
And I'm laughing because all those talking points are nothing more than the teacher union talking points.
First, before I answer that specific question, I'll tell you this.
And you hear critics talk about it, but the fact of the matter is, school choice is highly popular among not just Republicans, but also Democrats as well as independents, highly popular among Anglos, blacks, Hispanics, and every group that exists.
And it turns out the application process looks the same.
On the application process through demographics, you see people of every racial background in the state of Texas, but also every income level.
There are, income-wise, three different buckets for school choice in the state of Texas.
The first would be low income, which would be capped at 200% of the poverty level.
The second bucket would be the gap between the 200% poverty level to the 500% of poverty level.
And then the third would be anybody above the 500% poverty level.
And what we have in applicants so far, out of about 100,000, they break down pretty evenly among those three different income levels.
So you said a minute ago, this is competition.
How is this going to provide competition for public schools?
Sure.
So public schools have had a monopoly on educating kids in the state of Texas.
And they didn't have to get up every day and find a way to compete and provide a better education product for their kids.
They didn't have to pay as much attention in the classroom and doing what needed to be done to truly provide the kind of product that parents look forward to taking their child to every single day.
Now, however, with a robust school choice program that's being oversubscribed, which means that it may be expanding in the future, it means that public schools, they're going to have to get back to the basics.
They're going to have to provide the quality of education that will lead to a child actually learning.
Let me put this in this type of context.
You've seen, we've all seen, what happened to public education over the past 10 years, and that is they went down the pathway of a woke leftist agenda.
Indoctrinating our kids made parents so angry.
And this is going to force, among other things, schools to stop indoctrinating kids and get back to the basics of educating our children.
I will tell you also, Glenn, that I did sign laws that further move public education in that direction because this past session I signed laws that banned DEI in the classroom, sign laws that ban boys and girls sports.
This is crazy because this is just common sense stuff, but it's crazy we have to sign laws about this to compel public schools to follow common sense rules that will instead force them to focus on reading, writing, math, and science.
There was somebody on CBS, CBS News.
They said, this is a small private school.
To be independent, there's a certain understanding you're not taking away from any other entity.
Any student who came in with a voucher, I would have to report to the state their age, their sex, their ethnicity, and their zip code.
I don't do that now for any of my students or my teachers.
So I feel like I should just wait and see how this all shakes out.
I don't love the idea of funding for schools with any kind of strings attached.
What are the strings, if any, that are attached to especially curricula?
Well, a couple of things.
For one, there are requirements for the schools that do participate in the program that they will be providing education along the same pathways that are required by the state of Texas, as well as making sure there will be a standardized test to ensure that we are monitoring the progress of students and a few other things.
But listen, there are not going to be highly restrictive measures put on these private schools, but most importantly, I say private schools that participate in the program.
But most importantly, Glenn, think about this.
If there's a private school that says, listen, I don't want any part of this, the state does not compel private schools to participate in the process.
That's only by choice.
If they think, well, I don't think I want to be a part of this, they don't have to be a part of it.
And so it's only going to be the schools that have signed up to participate in the program.
And what that means is that the very few rules and standards required by the state of Texas that really are not going to be disruptive to those private schools at all, that those schools are happy to be a part of that process.
One last devil's advocate.
There are people who are saying this is going to affect the public school funding.
This is going to hurt the kids who remain.
The majority of students are going to remain in public school.
How do you answer that?
Well, first, the majority of kids are going to remain in public schools.
Second, let's go back to that word competition I talked about earlier.
Public schools are going to have to compete.
And what we did this past session in transforming education in the state of Texas, we made sure that our public schools would be on an even playing field when it comes to competition.
I signed the largest funding increase ever for public education in the state of Texas, more than $8 billion new dollars going to public education.
And most importantly, the most important thing in educating our kids is a good quality teacher.
And we made sure that our public schools would be able to hire and to retain the best teachers by providing a $4.4 billion teacher pay rate increase in the state.
And so we are- Put that in perspective.
Put this into perspective.
That's- This taxpayer money that's going to the school choice program is $1 billion.
A billion dollars.
And so what's going into the school choice program is only one quarter of the teacher pay raise that we gave to teachers in public schools across the state of Texas.
Could that go up?
If this is successful as you're watching it and this becomes more and more successful, that number will go up?
Yeah, if you say that number, you're talking about the number of students who enroll in 1 billion, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
The answer is yes.
Obviously, we have to see what the number of applicants look like, not just now, but in the coming year.
And we will need to calibrate for that.
But the school choice program has been executed flawlessly so far.
If we can continue that level of execution and parents are happy with the product, we will see an increase in demand.
And we are prepared in the future to make sure that the state of Texas is going to be able to meet that demand.
But in doing so, again, remember this touchstone point, Glenn, and that is my goal is to make sure that Texas is on a pathway to being ranked number one in educating our kids.
And that means not just ensuring we have the largest and best, most effective school choice program, but also that we have the best public schools in the state of Texas.
And when you look at all the measures combined that we have taken, we are definitely taking great strides toward putting Texas on the pathway to ranking number one in educating our kids.
Texas School Choice Vision00:15:51
Governor Greg Abbott.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
It's nice to see a politician actually come through with their promise.
Thank you so much, sir.
Appreciate it.
You got it.
Take care.
You bet.
Let me talk to you a little bit about Burna, the Burna launcher.
If you're a small business owner like I am, you think about a lot of things, payroll, inventory, customer service, keeping the lights on, but you also think about the people who work for you.
You want them safe.
You want them confident.
You want them armed.
You know, every dangerous situation calls for a lethal response.
No, it doesn't.
But doing nothing isn't a plan either.
That's where the Burna launcher fits.
It's a non-firearm self-defense option that fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to stop a threat and create distance without using deadly force.
It gives you and your team an option, a way to respond if something escalates without putting them in a position where the only option is killing somebody.
It's legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit, which makes it accessible for businesses that want a layer of protection without navigating complex regulations.
And their new compact launcher is even smaller and easier to conceal.
Right now, Burna is offering 10% off-site-wide in honor of President's Day.
So go to Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn and learn more.
Or try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn.

All right.
I watched...
I watched the Emma Nissen podcast that released on Saturday.
You can find it at YouTube or wherever you get your podcast, but make sure you go to YouTube and watch it.
It is a great, great interview, very different than anything else I think I've ever done.
It's my favorite interview.
I love this girl.
She's 25 years old.
And let me tell you, if you have a daughter and she at all struggles with weight or her looks or anything else like that, this woman is so unbelievably relatable.
She's gone through, you know, eating disorders and everything else and has come out just this remarkable woman.
Again, 25 years old.
She has the wisdom of a 70-year-old and the voice of Ella Fitzgerald.
But I asked her if she would do a song.
Am I Enough?
I want to play just a little of it because this will tell you where she's coming from and how she dealt with all of those issues.
Listen to this.
Am I in love?
Am I worth loving?
It's not I don't trust you ever loving.
But some say, some say we might not make it into heaven.
And what if it's me?
Am I forgiven?
How sweet the sound to hear you say you are enough and you always have been.
So don't lose your faith for you are mine.
So good.
So beautiful.
She's a remarkable, remarkable performer.
And please subscribe to torch at glennbeck.com so I can continue to do these ridiculously expensive podcasts.
But I hope to be able to do many more of the people who are changing culture, but it is really hard to get those people to trust, you know, that, you know, they have a lot of people who are fans and some people who aren't fans, but would like to be exposed to this audience, but they are so afraid that they are going to be exposed politically one way or another and they don't want to get involved in any of it.
And that's what stops people, really great people from being on many of our podcasts.
And to get them to do it, we just, they have to keep doing things like this.
And then that door will open up slowly for other people that you really want to see.
Emma is somebody, if you don't know who she is, you need to listen to her.
Emma Nissen and I, S-S-E-N.
She's just this voice out of out of the wilderness.
I mean, she was, she was like 20 years old.
She goes over to Sweden.
She's from America.
She goes over to Sweden.
She's doing a mission.
And then COVID hits.
She had never written a song before.
Never, she knew she wanted to sing, but she had like eight weeks in school before she blew out her vocal cords and she had a polyp on her vocal cords that started bleeding.
And so there she's like, well, that may be over.
She goes on this mission because she feels God is telling her, go, go, go.
She goes on this mission.
She gets there.
COVID happens.
Everything closes down.
And she's like, what?
Now I'm trapped.
Now I'm in Sweden and I can't go anywhere.
And all of a sudden, she said 25 songs just download into her.
She's never written a song before.
And she performs on this, on this, in this interview, probably eight of them, 10 of them.
And they are amazing.
The lyrics are so good.
You should watch her, especially if you have girls in your family.
I think she is so relatable.
I found her on Instagram, and I saw the first thing that attracted me to her was she was just screwing around at a piano or an organ, and she was just so full of joy.
I was like, wow, who is this girl?
And then I started following her, and I started watching her.
And at one point, she had just come off stage and she was in this dress and she looked beautiful in it.
And she said, I just wore this dress on stage and I feel so uncomfortable because, you know, all of the things about my body that I don't like, blah, blah, blah.
And it was so real and so raw.
And called her and said, would you be willing to do a podcast?
And so this is it.
Emma Nissen, get it at YouTube.
Or if you'd like to subscribe at Torch, they got it last week.
Make sure you watch it.

We're going to Canada.
Yee-haw.
Canada.
What is happening there is an abomination.
We'll talk about it next.
NMLS.
APR for Rits in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
You remember when you were in school learning about, you know, learning the basics about adulting?
What?
I don't remember that.
Not really.
How you're prepared for life.
Okay.
How to work out once the real bill started showing up.
You know, a mortgage, car, you know, insurance, all the payments, groceries.
Suddenly, the simple plan that, you know, you spent about 10 minutes thinking about when you're 17 began to look a little naive.
The truth is, financial stability is not built on good intentions.
It is built on good structure and making sure that your biggest expenses are working for you instead of quietly eating away at your flexibility.
And that's where American Financing can actually make a difference.
Their salaried in-house loan consultants help you review your mortgage, your equity, your options, and they can even lower your payments, consolidate high interest debt, or restructure your loan to fit your life today.
Not the one you imagined when you were in classroom years ago.
Growing up is hard enough.
Your finances should be easy.
I want you to go to AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.
Fortune Siders just voted on a poll in our live chat feature on the Glenn Beck app.
Don't miss out on this community we're building.
glennbeck.com slash torch man i'm so excited to have our next guest on uh Kelsey Sharon is somebody, she's a Canadian combat veteran.
She was a former artillery gunner, a female searcher.
She served right alongside the Americans and the British in Afghanistan in 2009.
It took a physical and mental toll on her diagnosed with PTSD and traumatic brain injury.
She rebuilt her entire life through therapy and entrepreneurship.
And she is on this mission to help bring to attention death and the silent epidemic of our veteran suicide.
I wanted to get her on because I just saw her in an interview.
I don't remember who it was, but she was talking about the MAID program up in Canada and going through some of the details.
You know, they just did this study on how much will Canada save if they just kill people instead of giving them palliative care.
Oh my gosh, $1.27 trillion.
Okay, that's a horrifying stat and horrifying that anybody was like, how much can we save by killing people who are going to die anyway?
I mean, I read about that in history books.
It didn't end well.
Kelsey is here with us now.
Hi, Kelsey.
How are you?
Hi, Glenn.
Nice to meet you.
Thanks for having me.
You bet, you bet.
So can you go through this?
I mean, how did they even get to the point to where they're like, yeah, we can save a whole lot of a buttload of money if we start killing people?
Well, I mean, that's what happens when you have a liberal government for over 10 years that has told you for a very long time since the 70s in his father's own documents, the Trudeau Foundation, that they wanted to roll out assisted dying in Canada.
They wanted to be more like Denmark.
They wanted to be more like Europe, a more progressive country that utilizes, you know, choice and compassion and dignity.
And they use all of these really wonderful keywords that people grab onto for solace when their loved ones are passing away.
And frankly, Canada is like the least of our problems at this point.
America's slow rolling this like I've never seen before.
But Canada itself, yeah, Canada itself has been toying with this since, you know, well, in the 90s when Dying with Dignity really started to come to fruition.
And then ultimately in 2016, when a pro-death cult called Dying with Dignity had over $9 million and decided to challenge the Supreme Court and actually won in the Carter versus Canada case, and that's when killing began.
So you're right about the United States.
And I'm so concerned about what we're teaching our doctors and our nurses and our medical schools and state after state starting to roll this out, just like Canada.
And what a surprise, it's the most progressive states in America.
Not necessarily, though.
That's where most people are very wrong.
A lot of red states are actually rolling this out.
And a lot of Republicans in places like Montana have voted for this.
You know, my job isn't to, you know, just teach people about what's going on.
It's to raise the alarm so that you guys can stop it dead in its tracks.
And right now, you guys have 14 states and are rolling out another 18 this year.
And we have the list of those with bills on the table.
We know who's doing it.
We know who's promoting it in America.
And it all starts with compassion and choices and the Rabin group, who ironically work alongside the Bill Gates Foundation and the Obama Foundation.
And we actually got their marching orders for this year to 2028.
And by 2028, over 50% of the American population will live in states where MAID is available and you don't have residency requirements in Vermont or Oregon, which means you have death tourism coming.
Well, you're a ray of sunshine.
And this is why people love having me, Glenn.
No, I know.
No, I know.
It is.
You state the facts and it was.
That's why I asked you to get on.
It's just how do you stop this?
How do you stop this?
It is so well funded, so well planned.
And people, they don't, they don't get it.
I mean, this is what happens in history over and over again.
You don't get it until it's too late.
And you're like, well, they've been telling you the whole time, if there is, if there is some sort of shortage of medical care, then rationing has to start.
And what do you think that means?
It means this.
And what do you think a shortage is?
Like, we'll never have shortages.
We have shortages today.
Yes, we do.
We have shortages of nurses and doctors because we all fired them.
You know, I don't know which words I can say here, so I'll be careful.
But we have, you know, we fired that.
FCC rules, but on that, you can say whatever you want to do.
Okay, first of all, FCC rules.
So, yeah.
So, you know, in Canada, we fired all of the nurses and doctors and firefighters who refused a vaccine, who had backbones.
In America, same sort of thing.
And then we cry, oh my God, we have a shortage and hospitals have to close.
And we just don't know why.
It's like, you know, a lot of this isn't rocket science is to the average human.
But I, you know, I really do believe I've put my life into this work for a reason.
I have the largest podcast in the globe that covers Made Daily.
And so I try to bring it up in a way that's understanding to people that are not going to be depressed.
So I look at it this way: like, we actually have the power.
Americans actually have the power.
Canadian citizens have the power.
We have to be willing to assert said power.
And you don't know how to assert power if you don't know what's happening.
And so my job is to do the investigative deep diving work with, I have great people, you know, Alex Schadenberg and a lot of different people who have been studying this for 30, 40 years who have become mentors of mine.
And I'm just really a, I'm just really a vessel and a voice for this, for this issue.
And it's really because they started offering it to veterans.
And those veterans happen to be friends of mine who called in 2019 and 2021.
So, you know, in Canada, this spring, we're about to hit our 100,000th death.
We are expanding to the mentally ill in March of 2027.
And then I put an episode out today on the Kelsey Sharon Perspective where I was able to show that SickKids Hospital, the greatest, biggest hospital for children in Canada, actually went into parliament arguing that we should be killing mature minors in 2023.
And that means children down to zero to one.
And that's what Quebec is arguing right now.
Now, I'm careful to state that, of course, there's levels to Canada, and this is what happens when you allow death.
And that was the Jillian Michaels interview.
She brought me in to have a conversation about.
When You Allow Death00:10:25
And the reason it stood out to people was because Western University did a study, and it was supposed to be, I mean, just make it very clear because people love to correct me.
It was supposed to be an if situation, Glenn.
This is an if situation.
But here's what happens with if really quickly.
When you allow death to walk through the door, you don't get to decide how it's amended.
Now, Canada funds dying with dignity.
Dying with dignity challenges the Supreme Court.
They have over, we saw their financials from last year, over $9 million.
They make over $700,000 in investment in just like the turnaround alone.
Now, for America, compassion and choices is your death cult, right?
These are the guys who lobby all of your governments who are in DC, who are in Washington, who are in Florida and Arizona, talking to all your senators.
And then they've hired quietly the Rabin group.
And the Rabin group, people should really be paying attention to because this is your social elite.
These are the ones going around slow dripping the mentality to the elderly and to everyone that, you know, it's a peaceful death.
But the longer I do this work, the more evidence I find that it's not peaceful.
We actually paralyze you and drown you to death.
And that's Dr. Joel Zivitt's work I spoke about on Jordan Peterson.
So, you know, this isn't, this isn't small.
This is eugenics.
You guys don't even allow the death penalty in certain states, but you'll allow your loved one to drink a cup of poison and have a death potentially up to 137 hours.
So we have to stop pretending that this is compassion and dignity and empathy.
It never has been.
It's called eugenics.
It's rolled its way back around because we forgot what history looks like.
And now Canada has killed the most people.
I mean, like I said, 100,000 people in a decade.
That's an entire town.
That's an entire village.
And these aren't elderly.
Glenn, these are not elderly people.
We have Keanu's case.
You have Caleb Pollack, who you spoke to.
You have Roger Foley.
Have case of coercion after coercion after coercion.
And the problem is, in my opinion, Canada's too far gone because they're so infiltrated.
But America has a real chance here.
You know, I've been speaking with Alex Jones recently a lot about this, trying to get people like RFK and Donald Trump to understand that I spoke with your United States State Department and they were not even aware there were bills on the table to legalize this.
And they're even looking at revamping the Pachetta bill in America because Bill Clinton said we can't be funding anything assisted death.
So then what the death lobby has done is change the language.
So it's not assisted death anymore, Glenn.
It's end-of-life care.
So if you change the term, they can get the bill passed.
And now I found evidence of them targeting Veterans Affairs America once the Pachetta bill is back in place.
Have you ever read War on the Weak?
The book by Edwin Black.
No, I have not.
Oh, you need to talk to Edwin Black.
He is the best.
But he did extensive research on, you know, eugenics and how it killed all the weak and how it was all perpetrated, how it was done.
He's, it is a book of just solid documentation of what happened in the past.
And if you know all of that, you see this unfolding and you're like, it's happening again.
It's, you know, Hugo Boss designed the black SS officers outfits.
Okay.
It doesn't come in looking scary.
We think of those black SS uniforms as scary.
They didn't at the time.
They were sharp.
They were beautiful.
It was Hugo Boss.
And it comes in and it screams compassion.
The black uniforms were not as frightening as the white uniforms of the doctors and the nurses in the 1930s and 40s in Germany.
And we're doing the same thing and they're doing it exactly the same way.
Yeah.
Why do we learn?
Well, we don't learn because this is money talks and power is power, right?
And so the thing we figured out is that, you know, the beautiful gold standard healthcare system in the communist country I live in is actually, you know, 20,000 people die a year on the healthcare waiting lists.
We have over one point over a million people walking out of ERs because they can't see a doctor.
We have no doctors.
We cannot get dental care.
We're overrun by immigration and they don't have to pay for hospitals or anything along those lines.
So people like myself who come from actually a family who escaped the Nazis in Hungary and came to Canada, worked their way up, we can't have that conversation because I look white now, don't I?
So we can't have that conversation, but we can for sure allow the Trudeau government from 2015 and 16 upwards to institute this program where ironically, just ironically though, Glenn, 96% of the people using this program are white.
And so if you look at America, 95% of the people that have used that program are also white.
And so it's, it's, people can say this is a race thing, but it's a cost-saving thing.
So this study I was bringing up, it was an if situation.
And they were just running basic numbers and they were saying, look, if we kept expanding the law, which by the way, we already are.
So that's not an if anymore to me.
If we keep expanding the law, then what we will see eventually is a savings of over a trillion dollars.
Now, just as the law sits today in February 16th, it's already saved $117 billion by not providing palliative care or hospice.
So is it, let me ask you, because this is the question people don't get.
Is it really free will or choice if their only choice is death?
No, it's it's not free.
It's not free will.
I mean, you know, and you're the killer, the shooter up in Canada recently, I read his words and he was, you know, a few years ago, he's like, I just, I'd rather die than wait.
I can't wait for this healthcare system anymore.
I can't wait.
I'd just rather die.
If he had made, he would have been killed.
Now, some people will say, well, that would have been better.
That's not the choice.
That's not the choice.
It's a false choice.
Well, and that's where we're at.
I mean, I've had 23 operations now and every, almost the majority of them, I've had to go to a mentor of mine, Gabby Reese, so she could call an athlete's team who could call somebody else to get surgery for me because you'll die on a waiting list here.
And that's the reality.
I'm not being emotive or facetious at all.
I go to America for the majority of my treatment.
My brain treatment was done in Texas.
It was donated by American donors to defenders of freedom.
I have gone through significant amounts of psychedelic treatment through the Heroic Hearts Project, who again is American funded.
But at the same time, speaking of the shooter, the very male shooter, should we say, I'm a psychedelic integration specialist and I've been on the pharmacology cocktail this guy was on.
And I got to tell you, when you combine those with psychedelics and then you don't have any proper care, you know, you're going to get a psychosis.
You're going to get these situations.
And so, you know, we just had a case in Ontario where a guy actually won the right for the government to pay for his new vagina because he wanted to transition so badly.
You know, we have to stop affirming mental illness, which is the first part.
And then in 2027, which is really terrifying and people should pay attention to this if you are Canadian or American, because it starts at track one and then it makes its way down.
So in 2027, it's when you are allowed to be killed.
I say murder, so I know it's aggressive, but I believe this is murder.
Your doctor's allowed to murder you in 2027 if you have a mental illness only.
So that's depression.
That's PTSD.
That's major depressive disorder.
That's postpartum mummies.
You know, I'm pregnant right now.
I'm almost seven months pregnant and I went through postpartum with my last child.
I can't imagine if I was having a hard time going into an ER saying, I need help.
Can you help me protect me from myself?
And we had a case of this.
I talked about it on trigonometry where the nurse said, you know what?
How about MAID?
And this was a lady asking and screaming, please, I don't want to kill myself, but I feel like I might.
And she put her hand on her lap and said, have you heard of MAID?
So this is a coercion program.
This doesn't stay at grandmas and grandpas with ALS like, you know, Governor Kathy Holgel started with.
It doesn't work that way.
It goes from there and it trickles down.
And now Quebec is suggesting children from zero to one.
Kelsey, I would love to have you on for a longer period of time.
I'd love to have you on podcast.
You keep doing the good work.
You're doing God's work.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
Thanks for having me, guys.
You too.
You bet.

All right.
Pre-born is our sponsor going from death to life.
Scripture tells us that, you know, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood and bone.
We wrestle against powers and principalities.
That matters, especially when we talk about the issue of life and abortion.
When you're standing for life, you're not at war with young women who find themselves scared and confused or alone.
You're pushing back against an evil idea, the idea that tells them they have no other option, that the life inside of them is a problem to be solved instead of a human being.
This is why pre-born exists.
They provide women a free ultrasound and compassionate care from people who aren't there to condemn them, but to support them and give them information and give them real help, not death.
When a mom hears a heartbeat, everything changes.
It stops being abstract and it becomes a reality.
I want you to help if you can.

James Rosen's Amazing History00:00:14
And I'll have him present that tomorrow, and we're going to go in a little deeper.
I don't know if you follow what James Rosen has been talking about, but it's a pretty amazing thing on history.
But isn't Donald Trump going through exactly the same thing?
