=== Aliens, Dogs, and Reese's Review (14:22) ===

[00:00:00]  We just came off Valentine's Day, which is supposed to be about flowers and cards and nice dinners.
[00:00:05]  But if you really think about it, love isn't proven by chocolate, although I could make a very good case for it.
[00:00:10]  It's proven by what you do to protect the people who matter most when life doesn't go according to plan.
[00:00:16]  This is one of the reasons I'm such a believer in Jace Medical.
[00:00:19]  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?
[00:00:29]  Have you ever asked this question yourself?
[00:00:31]  The Jace case is a set of doctor-prescribed antibiotics, emergency medications that you order online, have shipped straight to your door.
[00:00:39]  It's about being ready for the real-world scenarios that we all hope never will happen.
[00:00:43]  And it's not just a Jace case.
[00:00:45]  Their doctors also offer preparedness options from long-term supplies of daily meds to practical first aid support.
[00:00:52]  It is great.

[00:01:44]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:38]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:02:41]  Yay, you sick freak.
[00:02:43]  Welcome to Friday.
[00:02:46]  Today, we're going to take your phone calls, 888-727-BECK.
[00:02:50]  We have a lot to discuss.
[00:02:51]  I would love to hear your thoughts.
[00:02:52]  We'll take any question.
[00:02:54]  888-727-BECK.
[00:02:56]  I want to talk about the UFO stuff that's going on because this is just getting weird.
[00:03:02]  Is this a giant psyop?
[00:03:04]  I mean, even when they're coming out with stuff, you're like, I don't know.
[00:03:08]  Is that a trick too?
[00:03:09]  I mean, there's no trust on anything, on anything.
[00:03:14]  So we got to talk about the weird story of UFOs.
[00:03:17]  Canada now just, I guess, just saying, hey, if you've ever fought for any country and you want to fight for Canada, just call us.
[00:03:28]  We'll have you, we'll just put the maple leaf on your shoulder and you can come fight for us.
[00:03:32]  I mean, this is the Roman Empire, absolutely.
[00:03:36]  Also, the U.S. hockey team, an amazing story about Olympic gold from yesterday.
[00:03:42]  England saying you can't use Diego Garcia.
[00:03:46]  Where in the world is Diego Garcia?
[00:03:48]  I don't know.
[00:03:49]  Actually, I do, but most people don't.
[00:03:51]  That's a very important base and would be critical if we did anything in Iran.
[00:03:57]  We've got to talk about that because boy, oh, boy, boy, the only thing we haven't done so far is open up the siloed doors.
[00:04:07]  It looks like we might be going to war.
[00:04:10]  Susan Rice is in the news.
[00:04:12]  More on Epstein that is just insanity.
[00:04:16]  We'll begin in 60 seconds.
[00:04:17]  First, let me talk to you about Rough Greens.
[00:04:21]  Imagine spending your whole life just eating food that is not nutritious because it's just been processed.
[00:04:28]  Imagine, I got to tell you, I want to talk to Mr. Reese's because he is singing my song, man.
[00:04:36]  Reese's peanut butter cups suck.
[00:04:39]  They are so bad.
[00:04:41]  Find out there's no peanut butter and there's no chocolate in any of them anymore.
[00:04:45]  Anyway, it's all processed.
[00:04:48]  Well, that's what your dog is eating, processed food all the time.
[00:04:52]  Imagine if you were feeding that to your kids every day for that's all they ate.
[00:04:58]  What do you think your kids would be like?
[00:05:01]  I mean, they'd be like 30 and they'd probably look like 65.
[00:05:05]  Rough greens is a nutritional supplement that you put on your dog's food twice a day, right on top of the food.
[00:05:13]  Whatever you're feeding your dog, it gives all of the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, all the things that are live that are cooked out of your dog's food because it's processed, put it back in.
[00:05:23]  You're going to see a difference in your dog's health.
[00:05:24]  You'll see a difference in your dog's energy and your dog loves it as well.

[00:05:44]  Okay, so let me just take you to the beginning of the week.
[00:05:52]  The beginning of the week, Barack Obama is on a podcast and he's asked, are aliens real?
[00:06:02]  And he says, they're real, but I haven't seen them and they're not being kept in, what is it, Area 51.
[00:06:09]  Okay.
[00:06:11]  Everybody goes crazy.
[00:06:13]  What is Obama doing?
[00:06:14]  Blah, blah, blah.
[00:06:15]  Then Laura Trump, the president's daughter, comes out and she says, what was it exactly?
[00:06:22]  My dad has a speech ready to go, right?
[00:06:26]  To talk about aliens.
[00:06:28]  You're like, wait, what?
[00:06:31]  What is happening here?
[00:06:33]  Then after that, you have the president coming out yesterday and he says he's going to direct HegSeth to release all government UFO files.
[00:06:45]  Okay, so let's listen to that.
[00:06:46]  Can we listen to that?
[00:06:47]  I think it's cut seven.
[00:06:49]  Something that got a lot of attention this week.
[00:06:51]  Barack Obama said that aliens are real.
[00:06:55]  Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?
[00:06:59]  Well, he gave classified information.
[00:07:01]  He's not supposed to be doing that.
[00:07:03]  So aliens are real.
[00:07:04]  Well, I don't know if they're real or not.
[00:07:05]  I can tell you he gave classified information.
[00:07:07]  He's not supposed to be doing that.
[00:07:10]  He made a big mistake.
[00:07:11]  He took it out of classified information.
[00:07:14]  No, I don't have an opinion on it.
[00:07:16]  I never talk about it.
[00:07:17]  A lot of people do.
[00:07:18]  A lot of people believe it.
[00:07:21]  Do you believe it, Peter?
[00:07:22]  Well, the president can declassify anything that he wants to.
[00:07:27]  I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.
[00:07:29]  We know illegal aliens, really.
[00:07:31]  Yeah, illegal.
[00:07:32]  Only illegal, sir.
[00:07:34]  Wait, This is crazy.
[00:07:38]  You wouldn't be breaking the classified information rule if you were saying they didn't exist and they didn't exist.
[00:07:46]  That's not classified information.
[00:07:48]  Why would you classify that they didn't exist?
[00:07:51]  Okay.
[00:07:53]  So He violated classified information.
[00:07:58]  I don't know what that means.
[00:08:00]  And so then he says, yeah, I just might release all of the government files.
[00:08:03]  Now, he says he might do a lot of things on things like this.
[00:08:07]  And, you know, who knows?
[00:08:09]  But let me just take you back a couple of weeks, shall I?
[00:08:14]  There was a story in the New York Post, and I don't even know.
[00:08:18]  It was in our show prep, and I don't even know if we got to it.
[00:08:22]  But I thought it was important enough to include it in our show prep at the time so you could read it.
[00:08:28]  The bank, this came out January 24th.
[00:08:33]  The Bank of England has been advised to create a plan for the inevitable financial chaos that will result if and when world governments disclose the existence of aliens.
[00:08:48]  Former senior financial security analyst Helen McCraw sent a letter to the UK central bank urging the institution to prepare for the economic impact of someone disclosing the existence of aliens.
[00:09:04]  If such a disclosure should come from the White House, Cambridge Educated McCraw, projected in her letter, the revelation will send shockwaves through financial markets and the banking system and inspire general unrest among earthlings.
[00:09:21]  I don't think, I mean, you're going to go march out in the streets if you find out that earthlings, I mean, that the aliens are real.
[00:09:29]  I'm not.
[00:09:31]  I might actually stay in my house a little bit more than go out into the streets.
[00:09:36]  In the documentary Age of Disclosure, physicist UFO researcher revealed that George H.W. Bush administration convened experts in the alien field in the early 2000s, tasked them with figuring out the positive and negatives of revealing that mankind is not alone in the universe.
[00:09:52]  The group weighed the impact on 60 different aspects of human culture, including religion and the stock market, and determined the negative fallout of public disclosure outweighed the benefits for population at large.
[00:10:07]  Are we really that?
[00:10:08]  Are we really that fragile?
[00:10:13]  Jason, would you weigh in on this?
[00:10:15]  Do you really think we're that fragile on this?
[00:10:18]  That we would fall apart?
[00:10:23]  I mean, my faith is not so fragile that I find out that there's, you know, aliens, that I'm going to lose my faith and stop going to church.
[00:10:33]  That wouldn't make any sense at all to me.
[00:10:36]  And I'm like, I'm going to pull my money out of the stock market because we have evidence that aliens are real?
[00:10:42]  What sense does that make?
[00:10:44]  I think there's a couple of different things.
[00:10:46]  Like, did you ever see that movie Contact with Jody Foster back in like the early 90s?
[00:10:51]  Loved it.
[00:10:52]  It was really good.
[00:10:53]  And I don't know if you remember, there were like fringe, you know, religious groups that were coming out like in the movie.
[00:10:59]  I thought that was kind of very, I don't know, similar to how it would be today.
[00:11:03]  But I think the biggest thing, the big disclosure, people that are within the disclosure movement or were within the entire thing.
[00:11:11]  You see these on some of the documentaries, some of the guys that used to be part of the program.
[00:11:15]  There was this one guy that said the biggest worry was that if they come out and confirm everything now was economic.
[00:11:23]  And he went further into it.
[00:11:25]  And he said, well, what happens when a lot of these competing companies, they suddenly found out that some of the technology was based off of recovered craft and it was lent or given over to, let's just say, Comcast.
[00:11:39]  Let's just throw that out there as an example.
[00:11:41]  But all the other telecommunication companies.
[00:11:45]  I mean, come on, man.
[00:11:46]  Really?
[00:11:47]  We're like, we've got this alien technology.
[00:11:49]  Who do we give it to?
[00:11:52]  Let's give it to the cable company.
[00:11:56]  Another one, Fisher-Price.
[00:11:59]  Give it over to Fisher-Price and let's have them create the best toys ever.
[00:12:03]  But then Mattel is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:12:06]  We didn't get any of that cool new toy tech.
[00:12:09]  Like, what is going on here?
[00:12:11]  We deserve basically reparations or we deserve compensation for everything that they got and gave them an advantage for.
[00:12:18]  That was, seriously, that is the scenario that they are the most worried about as far as economic.
[00:12:23]  Trillions and trillions of dollars that would now go up for grabs for them to fight over for.
[00:12:29]  And it would happen globally, internationally.
[00:12:31]  That is the biggest thing when you think about fragility that they're thinking about.
[00:12:37]  Yeah, go ahead, Ricky.
[00:12:39]  Ricky, why?
[00:12:39]  I think you're abnormal.
[00:12:41]  I think the fact that you're not worried.
[00:12:43]  I mean, you've seen the alien movies.
[00:12:45]  It never ends well for the humans.
[00:12:47]  And the fact that you're not worried does AI makes you abnormal.
[00:12:51]  People like me, I actually have nightmares about aliens invading Earth.
[00:12:55]  Am I alone here?
[00:12:56]  I'm serious.
[00:12:57]  You are alone.
[00:12:58]  If I hear that aliens are touching down or they're trying to contact, I'm finding your bunker in Idaho and I'm locking down.
[00:13:05]  Really?
[00:13:07]  That's, I think that's really.
[00:13:10]  How are you not afraid?
[00:13:13]  Well, because what are you going to do about it?
[00:13:15]  So you're just going to hang it up and not fight the aliens.
[00:13:19]  No, if I hear that aliens are on the other side of the moon and they're mounting an invasion, then I'm worried.
[00:13:27]  But if we find out that aliens landed on Earth in 1956 and they died and we have their bodies someplace, okay, well, we know those are real.
[00:13:39]  Now, if they say, and by the way, they're shapeshifters and they might be among us, then I freak out.
[00:13:45]  Are you talking about Nancy Pelosi?
[00:13:46]  Yes, I am.
[00:13:48]  I mean, then I freak out.
[00:13:49]  But if it's just that we know that aliens exist, okay, I mean, I'm not surprised by that.
[00:13:58]  I mean, I would be very surprised if they're shapeshifters and they're here on Earth, but I'm not surprised.
[00:14:04]  As it says in that movie contact, as Carl Sagan used to say, what a horrible waste of space if we are alone.
[00:14:12]  I mean, think of the vastness of space.
[00:14:15]  All of this was created and we're the only forms of intelligent life.
[00:14:20]  That makes no sense whatsoever.

=== Shapeshifters Among Us? (15:08) ===

[00:14:22]  So I'm actually kind of excited by it.
[00:14:24]  I don't want to arrange the meeting.
[00:14:27]  You know what I mean?
[00:14:28]  I'm not like, hey, let's put out all of our Reese's peanut butter cups when they come on down.
[00:14:33]  They might like them.
[00:14:35]  It's not going to end well.
[00:14:38]  Yeah.
[00:14:39]  Have you seen the documentary Mirage Men?
[00:14:43]  No.
[00:14:44]  So I'm bringing this up because a lot of the insiders are talking about in the chat right now that this could be or this seems like a distraction, you know, some kind of distraction operation.
[00:14:54]  And Mirage Men, every time the government wanted to distract you away from something, they would say, oh, look at the, this is like, they would filter it out little by little and say, this is evidence of aliens.
[00:15:05]  It does seem very, very convenient that every time a major story is going on, we get a new disclosure hint.
[00:15:12]  I don't know.
[00:15:15]  I think this is much more likely that this is a psyop.
[00:15:20]  I think it's much more likely that that's what's happening.
[00:15:24]  I do believe that there is a good shot that we have had, that we have intelligence that life exists outside of human life, okay?
[00:15:37]  And Earth life.
[00:15:38]  I do believe that there is a good chance that we know that.
[00:15:43]  Whether we have alien technology or not, I don't know.
[00:15:47]  I'd be interested to find out.
[00:15:49]  But I think this whole thing is much more likely a PSYOP.
[00:15:54]  I mean, you know, what would be the one thing that would unite everybody on Earth?
[00:16:02]  People in space coming to get you.
[00:16:04]  So what is the PSIOP?
[00:16:06]  Are they trying to distract us from?
[00:16:09]  Is it war with Iran?
[00:16:11]  The economy?
[00:16:14]  I think that it's interesting that this is all happening the week of Epstein again.
[00:16:21]  I mean, when this story came out, you know, we should, we should, anybody who's an insider, anybody who is, you know, just do a quick search, line up the big stories, when the big stories came out on UFO and find out what was happening those weeks.
[00:16:42]  And line up the big stories and see if there's any correlation to big stories that came out those weeks.
[00:16:48]  For instance, I mean, if you start to find 60% of them also coincide with Epstein things, I think you have your answer on your PSYOP.
[00:16:58]  But that should be easy to, that should be easy to check.
[00:17:01]  Run that through.
[00:17:02]  Get that to me.
[00:17:03]  888-727-BECK, triple.
[00:17:06]  Isn't that weird?
[00:17:07]  You would never be able to do that a year ago.
[00:17:10]  I mean, the access to information that we have now is so incredible.
[00:17:15]  You can do anything.
[00:17:18]  And I don't think people really understand.
[00:17:20]  I don't think they appreciate the time that we live in right now.
[00:17:24]  Quick, enjoy it because, you know, as I said, I think I said this off the air earlier.
[00:17:29]  So maybe I shouldn't say it on the air.
[00:17:31]  But we all know that Elon Musk is going to turn out to be the Antichrist at some point.
[00:17:36]  But until that time, it's kind of cool to see everything that's happening, right?
[00:17:42]  All right, going to take phone calls, 888-727-BECK.
[00:17:45]  We'll do that in just a second.
[00:17:46]  First, let me tell you about the Burna launcher.
[00:17:49]  You just had to have that late-night gas station burrito, didn't you?
[00:17:52]  You told yourself it was a bad idea, but you're like, I'm an adult.
[00:17:55]  I make good decisions.
[00:17:56]  And then you walked away because, you know, nobody makes it quite like they do at 11.47 p.m.
[00:18:01]  And now you're standing there waiting for change and the door swings open and a guy with a knife decides this is his big moment.
[00:18:07]  The only thing you have right now is that big burrito.
[00:18:11]  You could throw it at his open mouth, hoping that maybe you would put him in the john for a while so you could get out.
[00:18:16]  Or you have a non-lethal option right there in your back and that's the Burna launcher.
[00:18:21]  It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using deadly force.
[00:18:28]  Now, tear gas, if you've already eaten the burrito, maybe you come prepared with that yourself.
[00:18:34]  You know what I mean?
[00:18:35]  But if not, try a Burna launcher.

[00:19:16]  On our VIP line is Eric.
[00:19:19]  Hello, Eric.
[00:19:19]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:19:22]  Hi, thanks.
[00:19:23]  You know, back in the 90s, I used to watch a lot of programs like Discovery Channel, Learning Channel, back when they showed stuff like that.
[00:19:32]  And one program was Nazi super weapons that we confiscated after the war.
[00:19:38]  And one of them was a flying device that supposedly could fly any direction, change directions, fly at unimaginable speeds.
[00:19:45]  And when it flew, it looked like a blue orb.
[00:19:48]  And all the sightings we've seen over the years have been blue orbs.
[00:19:52]  And so I really believe that the government has used the whole UFO thing to cover up that technology.
[00:20:00]  You know, I think I saw that, and it was very credible, that documentary.
[00:20:03]  I don't know if it was, but it seemed very credible at the time.
[00:20:07]  I've thought about that documentary multiple times because didn't that blue orb, all of that technology just kind of disappear right towards the end.
[00:20:16]  Right.
[00:20:17]  Right?
[00:20:17]  Right.
[00:20:18]  The thing we got later was the stealth bomber.
[00:20:21]  You know, they finally unveiled that in the late 80s.
[00:20:25]  But back then, you know, the Nazis had the prototype for the stealth bomber, and it looked identical to the one we have.
[00:20:32]  Yeah.
[00:20:33]  Eric, thanks for your call.
[00:20:34]  Tom, North Dakota.
[00:20:37]  Hello, Tom.
[00:20:40]  Hello, how are you?
[00:20:42]  I'm very good.
[00:20:42]  Can I ask, what is the temperature in North Dakota today?
[00:20:47]  Well, we are in the oil country, and this morning's temperature is seven below.
[00:20:55]  Seven below zero.
[00:20:57]  Yeah.
[00:20:58]  Little silly.
[00:20:59]  It's 73 here.
[00:21:01]  I just want you to know.
[00:21:05]  There's no need for seven below anymore.
[00:21:08]  Yeah, you're welcome.
[00:21:09]  Anyway, thanks for being up in Oil Country, Tom.
[00:21:12]  How can I help you?
[00:21:14]  I have a question on the files.
[00:21:17]  I don't like to say the name, but it's the files.
[00:21:19]  Yeah.
[00:21:20]  And everybody's talking, I mean, social media, all the news, everybody wants everyone arrested.
[00:21:30]  And I don't understand how that whole process works unless those files are the investigation itself and then the Justice Department can move forward with charging people.
[00:21:50]  The files are raw, so it is not the investigation.
[00:21:55]  And I don't honestly, I mean, I wish I knew if investigations were going on about the files, as you say.
[00:22:04]  I will tell you, the more I get into this Prince Andrew thing, the more you start to see the way he was writing.
[00:22:12]  And apparently there's tons of people that were writing this way and a shocking number of women involved.
[00:22:18]  I don't know why we are just talking about the pimp and not the Johns.
[00:22:24]  I mean, we know the abuse apparently happened because the pimp is talking to the Johns, but we don't seem to know who any of the Johns are.
[00:22:32]  And I've never seen this before.
[00:22:34]  I've never seen anything like this before.
[00:22:37]  So I hope you go ahead.
[00:22:41]  Yes, sir.
[00:22:42]  And that's, you know, and then everybody's all excited because he was arrested.
[00:22:47]  And, well, he was only arrested because England doesn't like how he portrayed his office.
[00:22:53]  And it really, he wasn't charged with anything to do with the case other than the fact that he made their office look bad.
[00:23:02]  Yeah.
[00:23:03]  And it's interesting how little apparently England cares.
[00:23:06]  I mean, the rape gangs can go on.
[00:23:08]  If you're a Muslim, that's why I hear he's converting over to Islam.
[00:23:11]  But if you're a Muslim, you can just go ahead and have the rape gangs and nobody's going to say a word about it.
[00:23:16]  If you're a prince, just don't betray your country, but you can do whatever you want with girls underage.
[00:23:21]  All right, Maury, in just a second.
[00:23:23]  Let me tell you about Life Lock.
[00:23:24]  Not having Life Lock is a bit like walking around, you know, blindfolded a little bit while holding your wallet wide open for the world to see.
[00:23:31]  You may not feel anything happening.
[00:23:34]  You may not notice anything, but that doesn't mean somebody isn't watching, waiting, or reaching for the information you never meant to hand over.
[00:23:41]  We live in a world where your personal data is stored in databases that you've never seen by companies you barely remember doing business with.
[00:23:49]  And one of those systems, when they get breached, your information can end up in the hands of somebody who knows exactly how to use it.
[00:23:55]  That's why LifeLock monitors millions of data points every single second for threats to your identity.
[00:24:02]  If something suspicious happens, like a loan taken out in your name or somebody using your information to commit a crime, you get alerted and you can act quickly.
[00:24:09]  If you do become a victim, a U.S.-based restoration specialist, they have a whole team to fix this, guaranteed.
[00:24:15]  So protect yourself with LifeLock.

[00:25:00]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:25:01]  It's Friday.
[00:25:02]  I've got so much to talk to you about the Epstein thing.
[00:25:09]  Why all of this information, why was it held this long?
[00:25:12]  Why was it held this long?
[00:25:13]  And it's so interesting that they only go after the prince when he's betrayed the country, not betrayed humanity by making with underage girls.
[00:25:27]  And I want to tell you a story.
[00:25:28]  If I have time today, I want to tell you a story about a friend of mine who was found dead on the side of the highway.
[00:25:34]  And it was not a suicide, even though everybody tries to make it into a suicide.
[00:25:38]  It was not a suicide.
[00:25:40]  And I believe it may be tied to this.
[00:25:43]  We'll talk about that coming up.
[00:25:45]  Also, your phone calls 888-727-BECK.
[00:25:48]  Let me go to Tom in Missouri.
[00:25:49]  Hello, Tom.
[00:25:49]  Welcome.
[00:25:51]  Hey, Glenn.
[00:25:52]  So I actually met you at the art show down in Dallas.
[00:25:57]  I have been a paranormal investigator for almost 40 years.
[00:26:04]  I don't know if you were.
[00:26:05]  I remember because you wanted to do, yes, you said, let me go into your museum.
[00:26:12]  The museum.
[00:26:13]  Record the museum, right?
[00:26:14]  Yeah.
[00:26:14]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:26:15]  Yep.
[00:26:15]  Because we think we've had paranormal.
[00:26:18]  Yeah.
[00:26:19]  All right.
[00:26:19]  Go ahead.
[00:26:20]  Yeah.
[00:26:21]  So I have done probably now 15 or 16 what they officially call UFO hunts, gone out with people that are UFO, experienced UFO hunters, whatever you want to call them.
[00:26:34]  Never experienced anything ever.
[00:26:37]  Saw satellites.
[00:26:39]  I've talked to hundreds of people about it, you know, in the years that I've been doing this.
[00:26:44]  And it's just, I want to believe, but my philosophy is if they really are real, why is it they only come down and talk to the crazy guys that have been in the mountains drinking?
[00:27:02]  Because every time I've ever talked to anybody about it, it's always been, well, we were out doing this or we were out hunting and we woke up three hours later and no idea what happened.
[00:27:12]  And I'm like, were you drinking?
[00:27:14]  And they're like, well, yeah.
[00:27:17]  And I'm like, well, so I would love to experience it.
[00:27:22]  Yeah.
[00:27:23]  But you don't think that we don't, you don't think we have anything on this.
[00:27:26]  So this is a psyop to you.
[00:27:29]  Yeah, I think it's a distraction.
[00:27:31]  I really do.
[00:27:32]  I really do.
[00:27:33]  I do too.
[00:27:34]  Thanks, Tom.
[00:27:35]  Appreciate it.
[00:27:35]  I still want to hunt.
[00:27:36]  I still want to do your museum someday.
[00:27:39]  You know, we haven't had anything.
[00:27:42]  So what you know Tom is talking about is, I don't know, about four years ago or five years ago, we purchased a bunch of stuff that was Nazi related and death camp related.
[00:27:56]  And we had it in one room in the museum.
[00:28:02]  And for about two weeks, every night, the alarm would trip and we would see like a floating orb.
[00:28:09]  in that part of the museum.
[00:28:11]  Do you remember that?
[00:28:12]  And we had no idea what it was.
[00:28:15]  We would respond, you know, our security would respond immediately.
[00:28:18]  There was never anything there.
[00:28:20]  And it was just, honestly, it could have been a speck of dust that was really close to the camera, you know, that was, but I don't, I don't, we don't know what it was.
[00:28:29]  We don't know what it was, but it was setting off the alarm every night, and it was really bizarre.
[00:28:34]  So, Tom, we haven't had a problem with that, but I'll put you in touch with the museum.
[00:28:39]  Thanks.
[00:28:40]  Go ahead.
[00:28:41]  Thanks, Glenn.
[00:28:42]  Oh, I was going to say, when I did the art show with you, I walked by Lucille's balls dress, and I just got that vibe that I've gotten, you know, like the hair standing up on my neck kind of thing.
[00:28:54]  And then also the shoes, the Wizard of Oz shoes.
[00:28:59]  Ruby slippers.
[00:29:00]  Yeah.
[00:29:01]  Yeah, the Ruby slippers.
[00:29:02]  Just that vibe that I've gotten off of things before in all the years that I've been doing this.
[00:29:08]  So anyway, thank you.
[00:29:10]  Appreciate it.
[00:29:11]  You got it.
[00:29:11]  Let me go to Tim in Wisconsin.
[00:29:13]  Hello, Tim.
[00:29:15]  Good morning, Glenn.
[00:29:17]  I'm calling because you seem to, Sean, PBD, Andrew, you guys seem to want to give the recipe to the Democrats on how to beat the Republicans.

=== Breaking Old Corporate Rules (08:55) ===

[00:29:30]  And I just don't know.
[00:29:32]  Oh, you caught me, Tom.
[00:29:33]  You caught me.
[00:29:34]  Gosh, we've been calling each other and we've been saying, let's give the recipe to the Democrats so they can defeat us.
[00:29:40]  And here you are, you caught us.
[00:29:43]  Come on, man.
[00:29:44]  What do you mean by?
[00:29:45]  What do you mean?
[00:29:46]  I mean, you obviously don't believe we're intentionally doing it.
[00:29:49]  So what do you think we're doing?
[00:29:52]  I'm watching PBD, and this is when Charlie was still with us.
[00:29:56]  And on PBD, there's Charlie and Chris Cuomo, and Charlie is talking about how he got Trump elected.
[00:30:04]  And Chris Cuomo looks at him with this look on his face like, Charlie, and he says, Charlie, why are you giving me the recipe to grandma's Sunday chicken dinner?
[00:30:13]  Why are you doing this?
[00:30:15]  Why are you giving me this blueprint?
[00:30:18]  And I just don't understand it.
[00:30:20]  I just don't get it.
[00:30:22]  So, okay, so I can't answer for Charlie.
[00:30:24]  Tell me what I'm doing that you think I'm giving away the recipe.
[00:30:28]  You know, every now and then, and I knew that this was going to come up, but I know that you've talked about why the Democrats are doing this.
[00:30:36]  Why are they doing that?
[00:30:38]  An AOC example, or it might be another example somewhere.
[00:30:45]  I just don't understand.
[00:30:46]  It must make for good radio or whatever.
[00:30:50]  I mean, I grew up in a Democratic.
[00:30:53]  Okay, hang on just a second.
[00:30:54]  Ricky says she knows what you're talking about.
[00:30:56]  Tim, I know exactly what you're talking about.
[00:30:57]  And sometimes I've had the same thought where we are criticizing their dumb decisions, their dumb policy that's clearly going to backfire.
[00:31:06]  Some of the things that they say out loud.
[00:31:08]  And we tell them, do you guys want to lose?
[00:31:11]  And I think what, and we're basically telling them, if you keep doing this, you will lose.
[00:31:15]  And Tim is saying, we need to keep that a secret among ourselves.
[00:31:19]  So here's the thing.
[00:31:20]  The real renegades that actually run the DNC now, the real revolutionaries, they're not going to change because we say this.
[00:31:29]  I'm trying to actually point out to the Democrats that I think are sane, because there are sane Democrats.
[00:31:37]  I know we don't like to believe that, but there are.
[00:31:40]  They can't all be crazy Marxist.
[00:31:43]  And to win, you've got to get some of those people to wake up and go, wait a minute, I'm not for that.
[00:31:50]  If that's my side, he's right.
[00:31:53]  I'm not for that.
[00:31:55]  So that would be my motivation.
[00:31:58]  And also, I think it's important that the show reflects the conversation that the country is having.
[00:32:07]  Does that make sense, Tim?
[00:32:09]  Yep, good.
[00:32:10]  Yep.
[00:32:12]  Okay, good.
[00:32:12]  Thank you.
[00:32:13]  Well, and I also think that you care about saving the country as a whole and not just winning elections.
[00:32:19]  Right.
[00:32:20]  Because we need Democrats to come back to common sense in order to save the country.
[00:32:26]  If we say, you know what, us Trumpers, we're the only ones that get it.
[00:32:33]  That's going to leave a lot of people out.
[00:32:37]  And so what happens when what happens with that?
[00:32:40]  What happens if you win and let's say you win for the next 20 years?
[00:32:44]  What do you do with the rest of the country that is so disenfranchised?
[00:32:47]  Because listen, I'll show you what they're planning.
[00:32:50]  This is, I'm not giving away any secrets here because they're saying it out loud.
[00:32:55]  Listen to Susan Rice and what she said just the other day.
[00:32:59]  If they win, this is what they're planning.
[00:33:02]  Listen.
[00:33:03]  But when it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet.
[00:33:12]  It is not going to end well for them.
[00:33:16]  For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest and, you know, take a knee to Trump.
[00:33:30]  If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to, you know, play by the old rules and, you know, and say, oh, never mind, we'll forgive you for all the people you've fired, all the policies and principles you've violated, all, you know, the laws you've skirted.
[00:33:53]  I think they've got another thing coming.
[00:33:54]  And we're not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a very different set of rules.
[00:34:01]  We're going to play by the law, but that's, we're not going to violate the law the way they do, but we're not going to be suckers.
[00:34:08]  And so I think, you know, whether you're a law firm, whether you're a university, whether you're a media entity, whether you're a big corporation, whether you're big tech, you need to play a long game, not this short game that has been so detrimental.
[00:34:21]  There will be an accountability agenda.
[00:34:23]  Companies already are starting to hear they better preserve their documents.
[00:34:28]  They better be ready for subpoenas.
[00:34:30]  If they've done something wrong, they'll be held accountable.
[00:34:36]  Okay.
[00:34:36]  This is fascinating to me because that's exactly what I want.
[00:34:42]  I want anybody who's broken the law to be held accountable.
[00:34:46]  That's exactly what I want.
[00:34:47]  Exactly what I want.
[00:34:49]  That's not what she's talking about here.
[00:34:51]  She's talking about a good old-fashioned Marxist purge.
[00:34:54]  Okay.
[00:34:56]  If you went against your principles, what does that mean?
[00:35:01]  What does that mean?
[00:35:02]  It means they believe their principles are God's principles, that they know what the right principles are, and you don't have a right to violate any of those principles.
[00:35:16]  You got out, you decided you're not going to do DEI.
[00:35:18]  Fine.
[00:35:19]  Well, we'll remember that.
[00:35:20]  You got out and you were like, you know, as a corporation, I'm not going to pay attention to this climate change nonsense anymore.
[00:35:27]  And the rules have changed.
[00:35:29]  The laws have changed.
[00:35:34]  All of the regulations have been changed.
[00:35:37]  And if you say, thank God, I am actually free to do what I believe is right, I'm going to do those things.
[00:35:43]  They'll remember you.
[00:35:45]  And you better keep your documentation.
[00:35:47]  That is an absolute threat.
[00:35:49]  Anyone who says Donald Trump is weaponizing the government, I want to just point to you.
[00:35:54]  She just listed media.
[00:35:57]  Well, that would be me.
[00:36:00]  Law firms, corporations, large and small, tech corporations.
[00:36:08]  We're not going to play by the old rules.
[00:36:13]  Well, like constitutional rules, because you haven't been playing by the constitutional rules in a very, long time.
[00:36:20]  Now, she would point out that it is, you know, things like the FCC.
[00:36:24]  Did you hear my interview yesterday with Brendan Carr from the chairman of the FCC?
[00:36:29]  He never made that call to CBS.
[00:36:32]  No one made that call to CBS or to or to, what's his name?
[00:36:38]  I can never remember his name because it shows the Colbert.
[00:36:42]  He never made that call to Colbert.
[00:36:44]  Nobody did.
[00:36:46]  Actually, the candidate and Colbert colluded because they knew they would make headlines.
[00:36:54]  Okay, now, wait a minute.
[00:36:55]  That's a whole different story here.
[00:36:57]  That's a whole different story.
[00:36:59]  And as he said, as Brendan Carr said yesterday, these are the laws.
[00:37:07]  The left has just not followed the laws for a very long time.
[00:37:13]  And, you know, it's interesting to me.
[00:37:14]  Everybody says, why aren't we using the laws?
[00:37:17]  Why don't we do what the Democrats do and enforce these things?
[00:37:23]  And it's always because we don't want to be the bad guys, blah, And so I don't know about you and everybody else, but if it's a law on the book, I think it should be enforced.
[00:37:34]  Otherwise, get rid of the law.
[00:37:35]  And that's exactly what Brendan Carr said.
[00:37:37]  You want to change the law, then change the law.
[00:37:40]  But here's the law.
[00:37:41]  And as long as we're in charge, we're going to enforce that law.
[00:37:47]  What they're talking about is purging, making a list.
[00:37:52]  Who does that?
[00:37:53]  Make a list.
[00:37:54]  Remember, that's what they said Donald Trump was doing.
[00:37:56]  He made a list.
[00:37:57]  He made a list.
[00:37:58]  He's targeting his enemies.
[00:37:59]  What is this?
[00:38:01]  What is this?
[00:38:02]  So if it was wrong for Donald Trump to do it, which I don't believe he did, but if he was doing it, let's just give that to you.
[00:38:08]  So it's okay now that you did it?
[00:38:10]  It's okay.
[00:38:11]  You had such a problem.
[00:38:13]  It's a sign of fascism when he did it, but it's perfectly fine if you decide to now do it.
[00:38:22]  There's no logic in that one.
[00:38:23]  That one really doesn't make sense.
[00:38:25]  Back in a minute.

=== The Shutdown Problem (07:29) ===

[00:38:26]  Let me tell you about a Z Factor.
[00:38:28]  When you lay your head down on the pillow at night, is your body tired?
[00:38:32]  Is your brain still hosting a conference at the same time your body is like, please give it a rest.
[00:38:36]  There is a major difference.
[00:38:37]  A lot of people think they have a sleep problem.
[00:38:40]  What they really have is a shutdown problem.
[00:38:42]  Their body is ready, but the mind isn't.
[00:38:44]  Conversations are replaying, running through worst case scenarios, you know, building to-do lists for tomorrow at 1247 a.m.
[00:38:52]  This is where Relief Factor comes in.
[00:38:54]  Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, and it's designed to support a healthy sleep cycle so your body can actually transition from the on to the off the way it's supposed to.
[00:39:05]  It's not about being knocked out or waking up feeling foggy.
[00:39:08]  It's about falling asleep more naturally and waking up clear-headed, ready to function.
[00:39:12]  Sleep's not a luxury.
[00:39:13]  It's a foundation.
[00:39:14]  And when you get that right, everything else is a little bit more manageable.
[00:39:17]  And right now you can save 46% off your first order.
[00:39:20]  It's $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
[00:39:22]  1-800 for relief.
[00:39:24]  That's 1-800, the number 4 relief.

[00:39:37]  It's Tam Cruz.
[00:39:39]  I mean, like, this dude has to be knocked over the head like hard.

=== Rush Tax Attorney Saves You (02:28) ===

[00:45:55]  We've got a lot to do today.
[00:45:57]  I want to talk a little bit about war that looks like it is coming in the Middle East.
[00:46:04]  we'll talk about that uh more on epstein the canadian military and before you know before we get to the canadian military can we just talk about the canadian um they won silver yesterday and they said silver is just as shiny Yes, it is.
[00:46:20]  It is.
[00:46:21]  It's just as good.
[00:46:22]  We were fine with having silver.
[00:46:24]  Yes, it is just as good.
[00:46:26]  That's why silver is $90 an ounce and gold is over $5,000 an ounce.
[00:46:31]  It's just the same.
[00:46:32]  It's just the same.
[00:46:33]  They're both metals.
[00:46:34]  Squint your eyes really hard.
[00:46:35]  They both shine just as well.
[00:46:37]  I'm only rubbing it into Canada because Canada has gone insane, I think, but they think we've gone insane.
[00:46:44]  But the Canadian team, girls hockey, lost to the Americans in an amazing, amazing moment with our national anthem and the flag being raised high.
[00:46:55]  I mean, not a dry eye in the house if you happen to see it.

=== Forgotten Champion's Victory (09:50) ===

[00:48:24]  All right.
[00:48:25]  Let me start with a story that, I mean, I don't know anybody who is at least my age, you remember what the Olympics used to be.
[00:48:35]  The Olympics, because we were fighting the evil empire of the Soviet Union, the Olympics meant something, you know, and now it just seems like every country is kind of fighting itself.
[00:48:48]  But in the last two days, right here at the end, the Olympics are kind of being like they used to be, you know?
[00:48:56]  Let me tell you the story of a father.
[00:48:59]  1989, the wall was still up.
[00:49:06]  Most Americans living ordinary lives.
[00:49:10]  But there was a kid that was living in China, and he was organizing pro-democracy protests, hunger strikes, demonstrations.
[00:49:18]  He believed in freedom of speech, rule of law, representative government.
[00:49:22]  Okay.
[00:49:23]  Then came Tiananmen Square, and he watched as tanks rolled in and the People's Liberation Army just opened fire on its own people, students, kids.
[00:49:35]  He was outraged and not quietly upset.
[00:49:38]  He was outraged.
[00:49:40]  And he began to organize again in China.
[00:49:44]  He found out that he was on the most wanted list of China, not a list you want to find yourself on.
[00:49:51]  He was picked up by the Chinese police several times, interrogated several times.
[00:49:56]  He was pressured to give up names, told to cooperate.
[00:49:59]  He wouldn't do it.
[00:50:00]  He said, look, I'm a patriot Chinese, but I don't believe in any of this.
[00:50:06]  He took full responsibility.
[00:50:09]  He knew what this meant.
[00:50:10]  He knew prison was inevitable.
[00:50:12]  He was released last time and he knew it's going to happen soon.
[00:50:16]  One night, knock on his door.
[00:50:18]  Somebody who is nameless, but knew him and knew and believed in the same things he did, took him to a harbor.
[00:50:29]  He said, Come with me.
[00:50:30]  It's the dead of night.
[00:50:31]  There's a small boat, but it's fast.
[00:50:34]  Faster than the patrol vessels that were out.
[00:50:36]  That's what he was told.
[00:50:37]  Don't worry, this is really, really fast.
[00:50:39]  They tore across the open water, okay?
[00:50:43]  Pitch black, skimming the ocean.
[00:50:45]  His muscles were strained as he was just trying to hold on.
[00:50:48]  They were moving so fast and slapping down on the waves.
[00:50:52]  If they were caught, it meant prison and labor camp, maybe even death for the guy with the boat and him.
[00:51:00]  Two hours of this on the water.
[00:51:03]  He begins to see lights.
[00:51:05]  Thousands of lights.
[00:51:08]  Hong Kong.
[00:51:10]  He stepped into what he called the land of freedom.
[00:51:14]  Remember, England still had Hong Kong at that time.
[00:51:18]  This guy's name is Arthur Liu.
[00:51:23]  He gets to Hong Kong and then he comes to the United States where he builds a whole new life.
[00:51:28]  He earns a law degree.
[00:51:29]  He raises five children as a single father.
[00:51:33]  He didn't come here for comfort.
[00:51:34]  He came here because he believed this country stood for something real.
[00:51:38]  He had seen the other side and what they stood for.
[00:51:41]  And then he had the opportunity to live here, land of the free.
[00:51:46]  Now, fast forward, time goes by.
[00:51:49]  His daughter, Elisa Liu, stood on the Olympic ice yesterday representing the United States of America.
[00:51:58]  This was a hard road to get here.
[00:52:01]  First of all, her dad.
[00:52:03]  Then she starts to skate when she's young.
[00:52:05]  She's very, very good, but she gives up in 2022.
[00:52:08]  She said she just needs to get away from it all, clear her head.
[00:52:11]  I mean, that's a death sentence to a skater.
[00:52:13]  She's 16 years old and she's like, I got to just take a break, okay?
[00:52:18]  Something that most people don't know, in 2022, according to the U.S. Justice Department, operatives from China, connected to the Chinese Communist Party, were targeting dissidents inside the United States.
[00:52:31]  We know this is true.
[00:52:33]  I mean, hell, the New York Times even reported on this.
[00:52:36]  And Arthur Liu is listed in court documents as dissident number three.
[00:52:41]  His daughter, the skater, family member of dissident number three.
[00:52:46]  They were coming after him.
[00:52:48]  Okay.
[00:52:51]  She gets back on the ice.
[00:52:53]  Now, before she skates in Beijing, somebody posing as an Olympic official calls her asking for copies of their passports.
[00:53:00]  This was surveillance, intimidation.
[00:53:04]  Okay.
[00:53:04]  Even here, even here, even now, the regime he fled never, ever forgot.
[00:53:13]  And yet, here she was, his daughter, wearing red, white, and blue on the ice yesterday, competing not under the banner of fear, but competing free.
[00:53:27]  And yesterday, she won the gold.
[00:53:34]  What a victory.
[00:53:39]  Let's understand what that means.
[00:53:42]  A man who was hunted by authoritarian regime watches his daughter stand atop the podium of a free republic and singing the national anthem of her country, America.
[00:53:56]  The system that tried to silence him, that produced nothing but fear, who came after him even in our own country, the system that welcomed him produced an Olympic champion.
[00:54:10]  The system that tried to stop him and oppress him lost.
[00:54:14]  This is not a sports story.
[00:54:16]  This is a generational story of victory.
[00:54:21]  It is proof that ideas matter.
[00:54:26]  Arthur Liu risked prison for freedom and democracy, for the right to be able to speak out, say what you believe.
[00:54:34]  His daughter, now that's what she knows, she thrives because of it.
[00:54:40]  He escapes in a boat in the dark of night.
[00:54:42]  She skates under the brightest lights on earth this week.
[00:54:51]  It felt good to cheer for somebody who wasn't also asking for an apology for their country.
[00:55:04]  I haven't felt that in a long time.
[00:55:10]  When I was a kid, the evil empire still existed.
[00:55:17]  We were competing against people that we knew were cheating and cheating in ways not like Canada was cheating, whatever.
[00:55:28]  They were taking children from their parents early on, focusing everything the state had on that, doing whatever they had to win.
[00:55:42]  And we would beat them.
[00:55:43]  That's why the hockey in, you know, The Miracle on the Ice was so important.
[00:55:48]  That was impossible to do.
[00:55:52]  Because here we were just individuals.
[00:55:53]  There, it was the entire state.
[00:55:59]  And now she stands in the bright lights.
[00:56:05]  And we were given the opportunity to see what she stood against.
[00:56:12]  Tanks rolling down the streets, the killing of dissidents.
[00:56:17]  And we were also reminded of what she stood for.
[00:56:25]  Somehow or another, we have forgotten how to tell these stories about ourselves.
[00:56:33]  We've forgotten that these stories even exist.
[00:56:38]  Well, here's a great one.
[00:56:40]  A dissident becomes an American.
[00:56:43]  That American raises an American champion.
[00:56:47]  A champion stands on the ice.
[00:56:52]  And because of all of that, the flag behind her means something again.
[00:56:59]  Not because America is perfect, but we are still the place where a hunted man, somebody who has been told, sit down, shut up, will cage you if you don't, can come here with that in his background and watch his daughter win the gold.
[00:57:19]  That is not naive patriotism.
[00:57:23]  That is earned pride.
[00:57:26]  More in a minute.
[00:57:29]  Let me tell you how pain usually works.
[00:57:31]  It doesn't arrive with, you know, any kind of dramatic entrance.
[00:57:35]  It doesn't knock you, you know, over all at once.
[00:57:38]  It starts small.
[00:57:39]  You get a little stiffness in the morning, you know, tightness in your back after sitting too long, knee that complains more than it used to.
[00:57:45]  And before you know it, you've adjusted your life around all of those things.
[00:57:48]  You park closer, you take the stairs more carefully.
[00:57:50]  You stop doing certain things, you know, not because you want to, but because it's just not worth the aching afterwards.
[00:57:56]  That's not living your life fully.
[00:57:58]  Relief Factor was developed by doctors to support your body's natural response to inflammation, which means you can change your life by getting to the root of that daily discomfort.
[00:58:08]  Inflammation is about dressing the problems at the source, not masking them.

=== The Painful Cost of Filibuster (08:54) ===

[00:58:14]  Over a million people have tried Relief Factor.
[00:58:16]  Two-thirds of them have gone on to take it more month after month.
[00:58:19]  I'm one of them.
[00:58:19]  So you don't have to rearrange your schedule or your life around pain.
[00:58:24]  You know, if you're dealing with daily pain, would you just try this?
[00:58:26]  Launch your three-week quick start right now.
[00:58:28]  Just try it for three weeks.
[00:58:29]  If it's not working for you in three weeks, it's not going to stop taking it.
[00:58:32]  But again, like I said, three-quarters of the people go on to take it month after month.
[00:58:36]  Do it now.

[00:59:09]  Okay, so this is a big one.
[00:59:11]  The Supreme Court has just ruled a very narrow decision, but a significant.
[00:59:18]  The Supreme Court has struck down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president.
[00:59:24]  That is, according to NBC News, the decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs, but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.
[00:59:37]  The Justices Divided 6-3 held that Trump's aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under the 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
[00:59:50]  The ruling was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, what a surprise, who is joined by three liberal justices and two federal, two fellow conservatives, Gorsuch and Barrett.
[01:00:01]  President asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs on unlimited amount, duration, and scope, Roberts wrote.
[01:00:09]  But the Trump administration points to no statute in which Congress has previously said that the language in the IEEPA could apply to tariffs.
[01:00:18]  As such, we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs.
[01:00:25]  Justices Clarence Thomas, Brent Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito dissented.
[01:00:29]  It's a rare setback for the administration, which has a 6-3 conservative majority.
[01:00:35]  The decision does not affect all of Trump tariffs, leaving in place the ones he imposed on steel, aluminum, using different laws, for example, but upends his tariffs in two categories.
[01:00:46]  One is country-by-country or reciprocal tariffs.
[01:00:49]  That is insanity, which range from 34 to China to a 10% baseline for the rest of the world.
[01:00:57]  The other is a 25% tariff Trump has imposed on goods from Canada, China, and Mexico for what the administration said was the failure to curb the flow of fentanyl.
[01:01:07]  Trump could seek to reimpose the tariffs using other laws.
[01:01:11]  As of the middle of December, IEEPA tariffs have raised $130 billion.
[01:01:19]  Trump has touted much higher numbers, up to $3 trillion, taking into account trade deals his administration has negotiated.
[01:01:27]  This is going to be a problem.
[01:01:32]  Prices on imported stuff may go down, might.
[01:01:39]  Markets are dipping due to the uncertainty.
[01:01:42]  Where is the market?
[01:01:44]  The market is still actually in the green as of right now.
[01:01:47]  It had dipped, but it went back up into the green.
[01:01:52]  We don't know what this is going to mean.
[01:01:54]  This is a very big one.
[01:01:57]  The government might owe now $100 to $175 billion in refunds for duties already paid since the tariffs started, but it's not automatic.
[01:02:10]  So I don't know what is going to happen here.
[01:02:13]  The president has said he was not concerned.
[01:02:18]  He was very concerned at the beginning and said this cannot stand, but then later has said he is not that concerned because he has other laws and other powers at his disposal that he will use.
[01:02:36]  So let's see how long this lasts.
[01:02:39]  I would imagine he's going to speak on this pretty quickly, or at least get a response from the White House pretty quickly.
[01:02:47]  Ricky, do you have something?
[01:02:48]  We did put in an ask to Secretary Besant to come on and explain the implications of this.
[01:02:54]  I'm sure the administration is going to signal that this is nothing to worry about and announce future steps to essentially resetting the system and making it fair again.
[01:03:08]  We'll see.
[01:03:08]  I would imagine we will have much more on this by Monday's broadcast because I don't think this is going to sit.
[01:03:16]  And then remember, next Tuesday is the State of the Union.
[01:03:19]  He is expected to not only tout all of the things that he has done.
[01:03:24]  This is going to be a major part of the speech.
[01:03:27]  I can guarantee you the speechwriters are rewriting right now.
[01:03:31]  But this will be a big part of the speech.
[01:03:34]  Also, it's my understanding that he is going to call for the passing of the Save America Act.
[01:03:40]  Hopefully, many of us are encouraging him.
[01:03:45]  Please, Mr. President, say it must be done.
[01:03:48]  And the standing filibuster, the talking, standing filibuster must be enacted.
[01:03:57]  And by the way, anybody who says that that is a change in the system, it's changing the filibuster, does not know what they're talking about, or they're just part of the same kind of Mitch McConnell crap that has been going on for a long time, where they just sell all of this information to any member of the media that will buy into it, that either is a progressive Republican like a Mitch McConnell, and they will lie to you, cheat, steal, whatever, just so it doesn't happen.
[01:04:27]  But that is an out and out lie.
[01:04:30]  It is not changing the filibuster.
[01:04:34]  You know who changed it?
[01:04:36]  Was Woodrow Wilson.
[01:04:38]  He's the one that introduced cloacher at the time, which I know you don't know.
[01:04:45]  I know, but I just barely know it because I just plug my ears and go, la la la.
[01:04:50]  Anytime anybody starts talking about cloacher for the love of Peek and a Life.
[01:04:54]  But that is a Woodrow Wilson thing.
[01:04:56]  And it means that you need 60 votes.
[01:04:58]  They can just sit and write an email.
[01:05:03]  I want a filibuster because this is wrong.
[01:05:07]  And then somebody needs to say, yeah, I vote for cloacher.
[01:05:11]  And then you need 60 votes.
[01:05:13]  Well, no, you want a filibuster?
[01:05:15]  Stand up.
[01:05:17]  Stand up, Senator.
[01:05:18]  Have the cojones to stand up and make your case.
[01:05:22]  And Republicans have the spine, have just the will.
[01:05:29]  Honestly, it's not even having a spine.
[01:05:31]  Do you have the will to save the Republic?
[01:05:35]  Do you have the will and, God forbid, the energy to show up in the middle of the night?
[01:05:42]  So you let them speak.
[01:05:45]  Let them be on the record saying all kinds of stuff that the American people are not for.
[01:05:51]  Let them make that case.
[01:05:52]  Do not surrender.
[01:05:54]  And I hope the president in his State of the Union makes that case very, very clear.
[01:06:00]  When it comes to the Trump tariffs, this is a bad one striking down Trump's tariffs, but I am not concerned.
[01:06:06]  As the president has told me on several occasions, he has other ways, and he will be moving in that direction the minute the court decided.
[01:06:14]  We'll see what that means.
[01:06:16]  More in just a second, including your phone calls.
[01:06:19]  Next.
[01:06:21]  First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
[01:06:23]  Let me tell you a little secret about real estate.
[01:06:25]  The housing market doesn't care how you feel.
[01:06:28]  It doesn't care that you think your house is worth a certain number because you love the kitchen.
[01:06:32]  It doesn't care that you saw the house three streets over selling for something crazy last spring.
[01:06:37]  And it definitely doesn't care that you need a certain price to make your next move work.
[01:06:42]  The market responds to timing.
[01:06:44]  It responds to inventory, interest rates, local demand, which is why you need somebody who actually understands these things to help you.
[01:06:53]  Real Estate Agents I Trust is a network of experienced vetted professionals who know your market inside and out.
[01:07:00]  They know how to price strategically.
[01:07:02]  They know how to negotiate.
[01:07:03]  Most importantly, they know how to tell you the truth, even when it's not the easiest thing to hear.

[01:07:59]  I saw this amazing video.
[01:08:02]  I think it was on Instagram last week of a guy who set up these like pay phones, one in San Francisco and one in Abilene, Texas.
[01:08:13]  And the one in San Francisco said, talk to a Republican.
[01:08:17]  The one in Abilene said, talk to a Democrat.
[01:08:20]  And if you picked up the phone, it would ring in the other city and then people would pick up.
[01:08:26]  Let me show you what happened.
[01:08:27]  It's an amazing experiment.
[01:08:29]  Let me play a little clip of what I saw.
[01:08:31]  We bought this payphone on Facebook Marketplace and then modified it a bunch and then changed the signage to say call a Republican.
[01:08:37]  And then we brought the payphone to San Francisco, California, which is the most liberal city in America.
[01:08:42]  And then we installed the payphone outside of Black Serum Tattoo, of course, with their permission.
[01:08:47]  And after we installed the phone, we then got on a flight to Texas where we bought another payphone in Dallas and drove it two hours west to Abilene, the most conservative city in America.
[01:08:57]  And then at an Airbnb, we modified it a bunch and had it say call a Democrat.
[01:09:01]  And then we installed this payphone outside of seven in one books, of course, with their permission.
[01:09:06]  And when you pick up this phone in Texas, it automatically calls the other phone in San Francisco.
[01:09:10]  And when you pick up the phone in San Francisco, it automatically calls this one in Texas.
[01:09:14]  The project is called the Party Line.
[01:09:16]  And the goal is to get people from different political viewpoints to have meaningful, not hateful conversations.
[01:09:21]  Because at a biological level, humans are far more similar than we are different.
[01:09:25]  And while political discourse often causes stress, human-to-human friendly conversations reduce the stress in our brains and activate the neurotransmitters, dopamine, and cannabinoids, which make us happier.
[01:09:36]  So the guy who did it is actual Bouchon, and he's a neuroscientist.
[01:09:41]  He's not some political guy.
[01:09:42]  He's a neuroscientist.
[01:09:44]  And he is the CEO and founder of Matter Neuroscience.
[01:09:49]  And his experiment was what happens to our brains when we're given the opportunity to find connection over animosity.
[01:09:56]  Axel, what a great experiment.
[01:09:58]  Thanks for being on the program with me.
[01:10:01]  Thanks for having me, Glenn.
[01:10:04]  Yeah, I mean, we try to really translate neuroscience into something you can feel.
[01:10:10]  That's kind of almost like what we do actually since a very long time, to be honest.
[01:10:16]  What do you find?
[01:10:18]  Because I've seen some of the conversations and they're amazing.
[01:10:23]  I didn't expect it.
[01:10:24]  Amazing.
[01:10:25]  Yeah.
[01:10:27]  Maybe I just take one step back to quickly explain what we are because we're actually a hardcore neuroscience biotech company.
[01:10:33]  And we started because today we don't really understand why people get depressed on a molecular level.
[01:10:39]  So the company, our company tries to find a biomarker for happiness and depression.
[01:10:46]  What we did successfully like last year.
[01:10:49]  So our medical program, what is one of our major activities is in Stanford with patients.
[01:10:54]  But then we realized that people who were in our studies actually became happier by just doing the study.
[01:11:01]  And that led us to creating our emotional fitness club.
[01:11:06]  What is literally like a gym where you train the muscles of your brain, what is kind of your emotions.
[01:11:11]  And the experiment that you have seen is just a stunt of the fitness club, basically, the emotional fitness club.
[01:11:18]  So tell me, wait, wait.
[01:11:19]  Then tell me about the fitness club here before we go any further.
[01:11:22]  What do you do in the fitness club?
[01:11:25]  Like, and I mean, take the example of the phone.
[01:11:28]  We have seen in the experiments in the studies that cortisol, what is the underlying molecule for all our negative emotions, can be overtaken and replaced if you give very strong signals of belonging, like oxytocin for family love or cannabinoids for just friendship.
[01:11:47]  And this works extremely well when you talk to people, preferably in person, but already when you just talk to them, we as a human species, we realize how emotions are kind of sounded.
[01:12:02]  And then we feel better if we are not immediately attacked.
[01:12:05]  And that was the experiment.
[01:12:07]  We felt like, hey, there's so much negative connotation in the media that is not like really human to human interaction that we wanted to reproduce the data we have seen in our study that when you calmly talk to someone, you're actually developing an interesting conversation because we're humans.
[01:12:26]  And that was literally, I mean, to me, huge surprise, very, very nicely reproduced.
[01:12:33]  So we had like 250 conversations and over 300 voice messages.
[01:12:40]  And we have not listened to all of them, I think over 200.
[01:12:44]  We have not found a single negative, aggressive conversation.
[01:12:51]  Unbelievable.
[01:12:53]  Okay.
[01:12:53]  So is this part of, you know, when you say just by talking, you start to feel better.
[01:12:59]  Is this part of the problem with social media?
[01:13:02]  We're not talking to each other.
[01:13:03]  We're only talking to each other via text.
[01:13:05]  So there's no human to human or much less human to human contact.
[01:13:09]  And that's why maybe we're starting to see suicide rates and everything else.
[01:13:14]  I think the connection to suicide rate is most probably a longer conversation where we need an hour together.
[01:13:19]  But I think the key thing, the key thing is indeed what you said, right?
[01:13:24]  If I can write something, I can be aggressive because I don't see the reaction, right?
[01:13:30]  And then if you just even look at what is shown in classical news channels is always like the peak of an aggression, right?
[01:13:39]  The escalation.
[01:13:40]  So we are selectively getting exposed to triggers for negativity.
[01:13:47]  What in our brain is triggering cortisol at its max.
[01:13:50]  And cortisol is like literally shutting down all the molecules that make us feel good.
[01:13:57]  It's like the ultimate stop signal for feeling good.
[01:14:01]  And a normal conversation actually restarts these.
[01:14:05]  Can you help me out on that?
[01:14:06]  Because cortisol also is the one that when you got to go, you know, when you got to get up and go in the morning, your cortisol level is very high.
[01:14:14]  I mean, I've never heard it put in such a negative term before.
[01:14:20]  Give me the pro and the con on cortisol.
[01:14:23]  Yeah, and you, good spot.
[01:14:26]  The point is we have cortisol activities in the body and literally as a neurotransmitter modulator in our brain.
[01:14:33]  And in the brain, it has a very negative influence on our mood.
[01:14:38]  So indeed, our body gets up and needs it to get active, but that is only a peak in the beginning of the morning.
[01:14:46]  But when we are chronically exposed to cortisol, we get literally molecularly blocked to experience good emotions.
[01:14:56]  And that was a little bit the experiment that we wanted to prove, that even if you know, just imagine, you know, you will call a Republican.
[01:15:04]  You know, you will call a Democrat.
[01:15:05]  That actually maybe in the day before, you were like, hate these guys, right?
[01:15:10]  But then just when you start talking about the weather, when you talk about, hey, sandwiches, when you talk, I mean, this was the funny thing, like food was an interesting topic.
[01:15:18]  Hey, what are you doing?
[01:15:21]  And that was, I think, was really great.
[01:15:23]  It almost feels like we should have them in much more.
[01:15:28]  Everywhere.
[01:15:29]  I strongly believe.
[01:15:32]  I'd like to see you do one to Canada.
[01:15:34]  Americans to Canada, Canada to America, because it's, I mean, we just, you know, I know if we just talk, we're going to get past all of this crap.
[01:15:44]  That was the surprising thing to me on this when I was listening to the conversations that were coming back was they were not what I expected because it is talk to a Democrat, talk to a Republican.
[01:15:55]  So you would think somebody's going to pick up the phone and go, I got to give you a piece of my mind.
[01:16:00]  Instead, it was, so what's it like there?
[01:16:04]  What's happening around you?
[01:16:05]  And it was very normal.
[01:16:07]  It's weird.
[01:16:09]  Yeah.
[01:16:11]  Weird or I think normal.
[01:16:14]  So I also have to say, yeah, I mean, normal.
[01:16:19]  Normal is weird now.
[01:16:20]  I don't know if you know that actually.
[01:16:22]  Everything is upside down.
[01:16:25]  But you see, for me, the scientist who only looks at molecules and cells, I cannot see any differences anyways between the political directions.
[01:16:34]  So for me, we are all the same.
[01:16:37]  So the key thing for me was actually to kind of just like help us feel that we have really a very, very strong similarity.
[01:16:44]  Interestingly, even when the conversation chasings moved towards political topics, it was interesting to observe that nobody was kind of subscribing 100% to everything of their respective party.
[01:16:59]  It was always like, hey, I don't like this particular part, but I like the other thing.
[01:17:05]  And so it was interesting that actually almost Central America, right?
[01:17:11]  So I'm from Germany, right?
[01:17:12]  There was a very strong center party, but we had it.
[01:17:17]  So in a way, it feels like in the middle, most probably even 90% in the middle, most probably agree on a lot of things.
[01:17:25]  I'm not saying everything, but it sounded like almost everything.
[01:17:29]  I know.
[01:17:30]  Was there a conversation that you did here that really struck you as unique or important?
[01:17:42]  So actually several, because it was just like everybody just wanted to be okay.
[01:17:47]  So it was just topics to where you are okay.
[01:17:50]  It was about food.
[01:17:51]  It was about how is the weather.
[01:17:52]  It was about how, what do you do today?
[01:17:54]  How is the family?
[01:17:55]  So like literally the foundation of being just okay.
[01:17:58]  And that, when you hear it over and over again, that was, I think, the remarkable thing that across, I would almost say 90% of the conversations, that was the joint false, like just be okay.
[01:18:13]  And so I couldn't kind of pick one that is an outlier on this.
[01:18:19]  But I think what's interesting for us is that we received, and that's so confirming, right?
[01:18:24]  We received, I think, one email with negative writing.
[01:18:30]  So all voice messages, everything with voice was okay.
[01:18:34]  Writing was negative.
[01:18:35]  We got only one negative.
[01:18:37]  Interesting.
[01:18:38]  Interesting.
[01:18:42]  I hear this from so many people on both sides of the aisle.
[01:18:45]  When you go out into the real world, not Washington, not the Mediascape, you're actually out in the real world.
[01:18:52]  And you hear this from people.
[01:18:54]  They're just tired of all of this.
[01:18:56]  They just, can we just go back to being normal people again?
[01:19:01]  And it's good to see that that's not just something that you kind of feel it.
[01:19:08]  It's actually, you're proving it to be real.
[01:19:12]  Is there a problem?
[01:19:14]  You know, go ahead.
[01:19:16]  Just add one thing because I lived in the US, worked in the US, and moved a lot around the world.
[01:19:22]  Now I'm just living in Germany at the moment.
[01:19:25]  But for me as an outsider, just like to send that message to the US that you were basically the foundation, for instance, for my life, I would not be standing here without you guys.
[01:19:39]  So what unites you is so strong and so unique that I'm running a US company, right?
[01:19:48]  So therefore, when I see it, it's like just so bad.
[01:19:51]  It's just not necessary, right?
[01:19:53]  So it just feels if you would all can just like come together and think about your absolute uniqueness and kind of building the craziest stuff and even achieve it.
[01:20:04]  That is kind of just like what unites everything for me.
[01:20:07]  And I say that as axel, we used to believe that about ourselves.
[01:20:14]  And there's just this movement.
[01:20:16]  I don't know how big it is, but there is this movement and it has taken a real hold in social media, et cetera, that America should be ashamed of itself, that it's not unique in the world, that it's a failure, where a lot of Americans look at this and go, yeah, you know, we do suck on a lot of things.
[01:20:36]  Like every country sucks on things.
[01:20:37]  We've had bad moments in our history, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:20:40]  Every country has had that.
[01:20:42]  But there is something unique here.
[01:20:44]  And that was the unum that used to hold us together in E pluribus unum.
[01:20:51]  It was these rights that we all had.
[01:20:54]  And, you know, I'll defe I'll defend with my life your right to say something that I disagree with, but you have a right to say it.
[01:21:02]  And that's what made us unique.
[01:21:05]  Yeah.
[01:21:06]  It is, it is.
[01:21:07]  That's the uniqueness.
[01:21:08]  Yeah.
[01:21:10]  Let's just get back there.
[01:21:12]  That's the whole thing.
[01:21:12]  I mean, if we join, if we join the forces, we will get back there.
[01:21:16]  I can just say that.
[01:21:17]  I just remember myself as a little boy standing there when Germany, right?
[01:21:21]  It was still like, and getting the feelings from the USGIs was amazing.
[01:21:28]  I can just say that.
[01:21:28]  It's like it was unique.
[01:21:30]  It's a unique set of genes, I would even say.
[01:21:37]  Axel, I cry easily, so this is not a big hurdle to cross here, but that, I mean, that means so much to me.
[01:21:45]  And I think a lot of Americans hearing that.
[01:21:49]  Thank you for saying that.
[01:21:51]  I think you guys.
[01:21:54]  Are the phone booths going elsewhere?
[01:21:57]  It's interesting how we wanted to do it 30 days.
[01:22:01]  And now there's interest to just leave it open and just let it go.
[01:22:05]  So we're just discussing with both.
[01:22:08]  We had some ideas from the users whether we should do phone booth in an elderly home and in a college so that the old and young may just talk to each other, what I think is another interesting idea.
[01:22:21]  And they're just like looking, sorting out whether that's possible.
[01:22:26]  Your company, you can find it.
[01:22:28]  The website is matter.xyz, matter.xyz.
[01:22:33]  I'd like to have you on again to talk about what you guys do and your, you know, your mental gym, if you will.

=== Phone Booths for Elderly Homes (11:51) ===

[01:22:40]  It's matter neuroscience.
[01:22:43]  Find it at matter.xyz.
[01:22:46]  Axel, thank you very much.
[01:22:47]  God bless.
[01:22:48]  I thank you.
[01:22:49]  Thanks so much.
[01:22:50]  Have a good day.
[01:22:51]  You bet.
[01:22:52]  All right.
[01:22:53]  Does that make you feel good?
[01:22:54]  Man, that makes me feel good.
[01:22:56]  All right.
[01:22:57]  Don't worry.
[01:22:58]  We'll talk about war here in a second.

[01:23:07]  I mean, really, really tested it.
[01:23:08]  What happens if the grid goes down for a day, for a week, for three weeks?
[01:23:13]  How long before the refrigerator stops being convenience and starts becoming a massive liability?

[01:24:38]  You know, the Olympics have really provided a couple of moments.
[01:24:41]  And, you know, while we're here feeling good about the country, it wasn't, you know, yesterday when we saw something with the hockey team, it wasn't that we felt good because we were defeating, you know, the Soviet Empire.
[01:24:52]  It was Canada.
[01:24:54]  But when that flag went up and everyone was singing, I want to play a little bit of this.
[01:24:58]  It was as if we were just admitting, you know, America still is a pretty good place.
[01:25:03]  Listen to this.
[01:25:57]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[01:26:01]  Glenn Beck is on.
[01:26:05]  Hello, America.
[01:26:06]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:26:07]  It is Friday.
[01:26:08]  We have a lot to talk about.
[01:26:10]  The SAVE Act, the tariffs have been overturned by the Supreme Court today.
[01:26:16]  We'll give you the dissent on that one and what it all means.
[01:26:18]  We're not really sure what it means yet, as it just happened about an hour ago, but we'll give you what we do know.
[01:26:25]  Also, I want to talk to you a little bit about Iran because a strike is definitely coming.
[01:26:31]  And I also have some information on Epstein.
[01:26:39]  Let's see.
[01:26:40]  Epstein, a lot on Epstein.
[01:26:43]  Also, Ana Paulina Luna is going to be joining us here.
[01:26:46]  She can comment on that.
[01:26:47]  She can also comment on war.
[01:26:50]  So we have that.
[01:26:51]  And I also want to give you a piece of history to take with you this weekend.
[01:26:57]  Something that you can chew on this weekend since it's President's Week.
[01:27:01]  I wanted to end the week with a story about George Washington.
[01:27:03]  We'll start there in 60 seconds.
[01:27:04]  Standby first.
[01:27:06]  Patriot Mobile, let me give you a simple question.
[01:27:08]  Why is it that, you know, we'll research a toaster for three weeks, but we will stay with the same cell phone company for 20 years without ever asking what they actually do with our money.
[01:27:19]  We check reviews, we compare features, we argue about brands, but when it comes to something that we pay every single month, most of us just go, eh, I don't know, it's rough.
[01:27:30]  You know, it works.
[01:27:30]  That's, you know, no big deal.
[01:27:33]  All right, it's not hard now to make your call connect and for everybody on the other end to hear.
[01:27:37]  Okay, the fiber's all been laid.
[01:27:40]  It's all really, really good.
[01:27:42]  And you don't have to give up any of that, okay?
[01:27:45]  Because Patriot Mobile uses the same cell towers, you know, as the big guys.
[01:27:50]  Okay, so you're getting exactly the same service, and you're also probably going to save money, but they take some of their profits and they plow it back into the country.
[01:28:03]  They honor the sacrifice of our soldiers.
[01:28:06]  They honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
[01:28:09]  And they fight for those things in their own spare time with their own system of charity and activism.
[01:28:17]  You want great self-service and you want your money to actually do some work for the country in the way you believe.

[01:28:36]  So earlier I was on with Dave Rubin.
[01:28:40]  I think this is where I told the story.
[01:28:41]  Was it Dave Rubin?
[01:28:42]  No, it was on Hot Takes.
[01:28:46]  Hot Takes and Hot Takes.
[01:28:48]  Yeah, it's a great new podcast from Patrick David and his crew.
[01:28:55]  But I told the story of George Washington because he asked me, he said, out of all of the things that you have in your museum and that you have collected that is American history, what would be the one thing that if there was a fire and you could get out of the house with only one thing, what would that piece of history be?
[01:29:12]  And I narrowed it down to a couple of things, but two of them were something that belonged to George Washington.
[01:29:20]  His compass, he was a surveyor and he got a compass when he was 13 years old and he was using it the day before he died surveying Mount Vernon and saying, this is where we're going to plant some new trees, this is where we're going to do things.
[01:29:32]  And it was because he was out surveying his land out in the cold and the snow and the rain that he got so sick and died.
[01:29:39]  The other are his glasses.
[01:29:42]  And you've never seen a painting of George Washington with his glasses because he didn't like anybody to see that he had to wear glasses.
[01:29:49]  The guy was 6'3, I think.
[01:29:55]  The average person was 5'5 to 5'6 ⁇ .
[01:29:59]  So he was almost a foot taller than anybody else.
[01:30:02]  I mean, he looked like Baron Trump in a sea of people today.
[01:30:06]  Just this giant of a man.
[01:30:09]  And being that big, you would think he would be a big target.
[01:30:13]  And then knowing that he was the general, if he was on the front lines, that big, that easy to spot, he should have been killed.
[01:30:20]  He had six white stallions shot out from underneath him in the wars because he would go right up to the front line on his horse.
[01:30:28]  And people talked about how they had him dead to rights.
[01:30:31]  They had him in their sights and they pulled the trigger and somehow or another, it missed him.
[01:30:37]  And he would come off the battlefields.
[01:30:39]  The Smithsonian and our National Archives have some of these things.
[01:30:43]  They have his hat with bullet holes in his hat, but he was untouched.
[01:30:48]  They have his jacket.
[01:30:50]  He would come off the field and there would be a jacket that had a hole right through the jacket, but it never touched him.
[01:30:59]  So this led to this myth of this guy being invincible, this giant that's just never going to die.
[01:31:06]  He didn't like that, but he also did like the fact that people didn't look at him as like an old man.
[01:31:15]  So at the end of the war, our Congress was about as, you know, about as loyal to honor and integrity as our Congress is now.
[01:31:32]  And they had promised all of these soldiers that they were going to get paid at the end of the war.
[01:31:36]  Well, we couldn't afford to pay them.
[01:31:38]  So we lied.
[01:31:39]  You know, basically what we did after World War I, too.
[01:31:41]  We did the same thing.
[01:31:42]  Congress said, ah, we can't pay you.
[01:31:43]  And so they didn't pay any.
[01:31:44]  And it was horrible, horrible.
[01:31:47]  But these soldiers, they had just beaten the most powerful army and navy on the planet.
[01:31:55]  Everyone was afraid of the British because they were the most powerful.
[01:31:59]  And a bunch of farmers just beat them.
[01:32:02]  And so these farmers were angry and they were like, what can't we do?
[01:32:07]  What can't we do?
[01:32:08]  We just did this.
[01:32:09]  And these guys are so dishonorable.
[01:32:11]  And we've been fighting for honor and integrity and the freedom to the people.
[01:32:15]  And these guys have to answer to the people.
[01:32:17]  And now they're not paying us when they swore they would.
[01:32:20]  That's dishonorable.
[01:32:21]  They're not answering the people, so they'll answer to us.
[01:32:24]  And they were going to go kill Congress.
[01:32:26]  Well, Washington found out about it, and he rode into Congress in Philadelphia.
[01:32:31]  He talks to the Congress.
[01:32:32]  They're like, guys, you've got to pay the men.
[01:32:36]  Nobody's going to do it.
[01:32:38]  They had every kind of excuse they possibly could come up with.
[01:32:42]  And one guy, before he left, one guy said, General Washington, I will continue the fight here in Philadelphia.
[01:32:50]  And he said, would you write that down for me?
[01:32:52]  And so they wrote it down on a piece of paper and he put it in his pocket.
[01:32:56]  And he rides back.
[01:32:58]  Now the men are all gone.
[01:33:00]  And he knows nothing good is going to come of this.
[01:33:04]  He finds them.
[01:33:06]  They're all together and they're discussing exactly what he knew they were discussing.
[01:33:11]  And he walks in and the room is loud and boisterous.
[01:33:15]  And he walks in and it quiets down a bit.
[01:33:19]  And he said, gentlemen, I know what you're planning, and you cannot do this.
[01:33:26]  You cannot do this.
[01:33:28]  We did not defeat one tyrant just to replace him with another tyrant.
[01:33:33]  This can't be done.
[01:33:36]  And they, you know, scream and yell how dishonorable Congress is, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:33:40]  And Washington doesn't disagree.
[01:33:43]  He just doesn't think we should go kill the members of Congress.
[01:33:46]  That's wrong, obviously.
[01:33:51]  And one of them says, so you were just there.
[01:33:54]  What did you bring us?
[01:33:55]  You got a deal?
[01:33:57]  Washington knows he has nothing except in his pocket a letter that says, I'll continue the fight for you from one guy.
[01:34:04]  He says, actually, I do have something.
[01:34:07]  And he reaches into his pocket and he pulls out the piece of paper.
[01:34:09]  And now he realizes I can't read it because I don't have my glasses.
[01:34:16]  And he turns to his aide-de-camp and they hand him his glasses and he puts them on.
[01:34:25]  And as he's putting his glasses on, the room falls deathly quiet.

=== The Gentle Hand of God (08:23) ===

[01:34:31]  Without even looking up, he knows what's happened.
[01:34:35]  He's put on glasses, which makes him human and old.
[01:34:41]  And the magic spell kind of that, you know, was part of this mystique of Washington had been broken.
[01:34:50]  And he knew it.
[01:34:51]  He knew the men were looking at him differently now as a frail old man.
[01:34:58]  And he said, I am sorry, but my eyes have grown weak and weary in the service of my country.
[01:35:14]  Everybody is tears rolling down their cheeks.
[01:35:17]  He has tears in his eyes.
[01:35:19]  He can't speak.
[01:35:21]  He takes his glasses off.
[01:35:23]  He folds them up.
[01:35:25]  He puts them back in the case.
[01:35:27]  He takes the letter that he had from Congress, unread, folds it back up, puts it in his pocket, turns around, and walks out.
[01:35:33]  And there is no second revolution.
[01:35:38]  That is the power of integrity.
[01:35:41]  That is the power of this one man.
[01:35:46]  Earlier this week, I played a song about the death of Abraham Lincoln.
[01:35:50]  We're doing what are called torch tunes, and it's going to be something that I'm doing so your family will be able to hear stories like that, maybe visit our museum, see these things, and then take a piece of it with you home because I want to try to hit the American people, especially our youth, in as many different ways as possible so you feel it in any possible way.
[01:36:12]  And music speaks to the soul.
[01:36:14]  So this is that story set to music.
[01:36:19]  Ode to Johnny Horton, set to music, a torch tune that will be available soon.
[01:36:25]  Listen.
[01:36:40]  There's a wind on the Hudson as a prayer whispers through the timbers of a war-torn Men with empty pockets, boots full of doubt, dreamed of marching on a country they'd just carved out.
[01:37:07]  And he walked in quiet, like a father through the storm, with a background tired and a heart well worn.
[01:37:20]  No sword on his hip, just the weight of the dawn.
[01:37:27]  You could feel the whole republic holding on.
[01:37:34]  And he paused in the silence, reaching deep inside for the words that might keep freedom alive.
[01:37:47]  When he lifted those glasses, the room fell to its knees.
[01:37:54]  A humble generation staring at what courage really means.
[01:38:00]  I've grown gray in your service.
[01:38:04]  Now nearly blind, he said.
[01:38:07]  And the nation took another breath instead of turning on itself.
[01:38:14]  Yeah, sometimes God saves a people with the gentlest of hands.
[01:38:20]  Just a warm lenses and a tired, faithful man, Gettysburg.
[01:38:40]  Where the shadows of the story lean against the trees.
[01:38:47]  And I swear I heard the footsteps of all the ones we've lost.
[01:38:53]  Walking me straight back to that moment on the Hudson's Frost.
[01:39:00]  Cause every generation faces its New Bergnight.
[01:39:07]  Every heart has a battle between anger and what's right.
[01:39:14]  And the line between a tyrant and a servant king is drawn in the dust by the smallest things.
[01:39:27]  So I carry that memory like a lantern flame.
[01:39:34]  A reminder that humility is where the miracles are made.
[01:39:44]  When he lifted those glasses, the room fell to its knees.
[01:39:50]  And the world saw a republic saved by quiet dignity.
[01:39:57]  I've grown gray in your service, now nearly blind, he said.
[01:40:04]  And the storm inside those soldiers' hearts softened into stead.
[01:40:10]  Yeah, sometimes God saves a nation with a gentlest of hands.
[01:40:17]  Just a worn pair of lenses and a tired faithful man.
[01:40:27]  History turns on moments no one sees coming.
[01:40:34]  A trembling voice, a simple truth, a war-weary something.
[01:40:41]  And maybe the way home from broken land is choosing to lay down what we think we command.
[01:40:47]  I hear Washington whisper.
[01:40:50]  Every time I'm afraid, freedom isn't one once.
[01:40:59]  It's a choice we make.
[01:41:04]  When he lifted those glasses, the tears filled the room.
[01:41:10]  And the second revolution faded like a wind-blown plume.
[01:41:17]  I've grown gray in your service, now nearly blind, he said.
[01:41:24]  And the promise of America step back from the edge.
[01:41:30]  Yeah, sometimes heaven moves in ways we barely understand.
[01:41:37]  Just a worn pair of lenses and a tired faithful man.
[01:41:47]  So here's to the hollow ground and still remembers him where the past lands fall and the future begins.
[01:42:00]  And may we stand in that silence every chance we can and see our country clear through the eyes of that man.
[01:42:27]  Happy birthday, George Washington.
[01:42:29]  First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.
[01:42:34]  That is a torch tune.
[01:42:35]  This is why I ask you to join the torch to help us make more of these.
[01:42:39]  We're hiring musicians and others to help us really tell the American story in completely new and different ways.

[01:42:49]  Sorry, at glennbeck.com slash torch, glennbeck.com/slash torch.

=== Human Stories Behind Nuclear Deals (04:55) ===

[01:42:55]  Our sponsor is Pre-Born.
[01:42:57]  Young woman is sitting in her car.
[01:42:59]  Her engine is off.
[01:43:00]  Her hands on the steering wheel.
[01:43:01]  She's staring straight ahead.
[01:43:03]  She's just seen two lines on her test.
[01:43:05]  Her mind is racing through every possible scenario.
[01:43:08]  How am I going to tell my parents?
[01:43:10]  What is he going to say?
[01:43:11]  How can I afford this?
[01:43:12]  What does it mean for my future?
[01:43:14]  At that moment, she doesn't feel political at all.
[01:43:17]  She feels very alone.
[01:43:19]  This is where Pre-Born steps in.
[01:43:21]  They connect women with the local clinic that provides free ultrasounds and compassionate care.
[01:43:26]  No lectures, no shame, nothing.
[01:43:28]  Just the opportunity to slow down, breathe, and realize she is not alone.
[01:43:33]  It's a life she's carrying, and the ultrasound changes everything.
[01:43:36]  That heartbeat changes things.
[01:43:40]  This is what happens when an abstract problem becomes a human story.
[01:43:45]  It's about not winning arguments.
[01:43:47]  It's about giving her information, support, and a moment of clarity and bringing life into the world.
[01:43:53]  For $28, you can provide one life-saving ultrasound.

[01:44:35]  Insiders, okay, I get it.
[01:44:36]  Third time Glenn's cried today.
[01:44:38]  You don't need to keep count.
[01:44:39]  Anyway, Jason, welcome to the program.
[01:44:43]  I've got about three minutes before we have to go to Anna Paulina Luna.
[01:44:51]  And I'm going to talk to her a little bit about war.
[01:44:53]  But we have a massive armada in the Middle East now with everything pointed right towards Iran.
[01:45:03]  You do not pull back from this line, do you?
[01:45:07]  Have we ever?
[01:45:08]  Well, we did in 2003.
[01:45:11]  And the last time this happened at this scale with this amount of hardware moving towards the Middle East was the invasion in 2003.
[01:45:19]  So history would show no.
[01:45:22]  History would also show that every time you blatantly defy, especially Donald Trump, you're probably going to see some kind of response.
[01:45:33]  And as according to the foreign minister of Iran this morning, they said they're preparing a nuclear agreement amendment that they based off their other talks.
[01:45:42]  They're supposed to have that to the Trump administration in two or three days, but it's framed as a nuclear deal.
[01:45:48]  And there are much more things within our demands than just the nuclear deal.
[01:45:52]  Those red lines that both countries have, specifically long-range missiles and proxy force support, that the Trump administration wants a part of this.
[01:46:01]  The Iranians do not.
[01:46:02]  So unless that's delivered in two days, I don't see there being any kind of agreement happening.
[01:46:08]  This is going to be a tense, tense state of the union next week because there's already people saying you don't have the War Powers Act.
[01:46:17]  This one is clear.
[01:46:18]  You got to go to Congress for an act of war.
[01:46:21]  You've got the tariffs that were overturned today.
[01:46:24]  You have the government shut down by the Democrats.
[01:46:28]  You also have the Save America Act.
[01:46:30]  I mean, this is a big state of the union next week.
[01:46:33]  We'll watch this carefully more on this coming up in just a minute.
[01:46:37]  And Ana Paulina Luna joins us in a minute.
[01:46:40]  She'll talk about this and so much more.
[01:46:44]  Z Factor, let me ask you something honest.
[01:46:46]  Say i'll sleep when i'm dead.
[01:46:49]  Are you joking or are you just so tired of being tired that you assume you're really only going to get sleep when you pass on?
[01:46:55]  You know, for your reward in heaven.
[01:46:57]  Um, there is a a difference between burning the candle at both ends once in a while and living in a constant state of low-grade exhaustion where you're really just functioning, just barely functioning.
[01:47:08]  You're not firing on you know eight cylinders or 12 cylinders you're you're, you're functioning on two.
[01:47:14]  When your body doesn't reset, all kinds of things go wrong.
[01:47:18]  Believe me, I know this firsthand.
[01:47:20]  You need to have that body reset it.
[01:47:23]  It it files all of all the things in your brain.
[01:47:27]  It uh, it resets your entire system and without sleep um, you just you're not at your best and you know it because you're, you know, snapping at people or you're confused or whatever.
[01:47:38]  Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief factor and it is designed to support a healthy sleep cycle so you can fall asleep more naturally, wake up clear-headed.
[01:47:48]  Okay, it's Z-factor from the makers of Relief factor.

[01:48:03]  One week left to lock in the founding member price.
[01:48:06]  glenbeck.com slash torch welcome to the glenbeck program You know, as i'm watching everything that's unfolding with the Epstein files, I just don't understand why people are being investigated and actually seemingly going to jail.
[01:48:32]  For the first time in 400 years, a royal has been arrested in prince Andrew.
[01:48:39]  He's not even he's Andrew now, um and uh, he is going to jail, but not for anything that he might have done with Epstein except trade secrets.
[01:48:50]  That's the thing that got him into trouble was he was he was passing on English secrets to Epstein, which is a whole nother ball game entirely.
[01:49:00]  But I don't understand how we can say that he was trafficking, you know uh, women underage, and yet there's no johns going to jail.
[01:49:10]  There's no, we don't have any.
[01:49:12]  Who is he trafficking him to?
[01:49:14]  Why don't we have any of this information?
[01:49:17]  There was a tweet that was sent out by UM representative, Anna Paulina Luna, and she said, uh, Susan Hammin Hamlin sent this email.
[01:49:25]  She took a plea deal and was given victim status under previous DOJ.
[01:49:28]  DOJ should look into charges.
[01:49:30]  Possible human rights violations were committed.
[01:49:33]  I say that based on other files with her name on it.
[01:49:37]  These women don't get to hide behind redactions.
[01:49:40]  There's so many victims, none of which did what this woman did.
[01:49:43]  This needs to be reopened.
[01:49:45]  And she gives an email that just says, thank you for a fun night.
[01:49:48]  Your littlest girl was a little naughty and she wrote it to Jeffrey Epstein.
[01:49:53]  Now um, Anna is uh with us now uh, to Explain what you might know or why you would say that, because she, somebody, the son, actually made charges against her and they had to apologize.
[01:50:10]  And I think they paid a pretty big price for it because they libeled her, or so she apparently proved in court.
[01:50:19]  What do you know, Anna?
[01:50:21]  Who is this woman?
[01:50:23]  I don't want to get into anything that's libel, but what do you know?
[01:50:27]  Why would you say this?
[01:50:29]  I know that many, and this is based on what I've gone through in some of the files.
[01:50:34]  I've spent about maybe six, seven hours with the files directly and plan on going back in to see more.
[01:50:41]  But from what I've gathered and from what I've reviewed, after looking at an FBI co-conspirator document, she was actually allegedly named as a co-conspirator by the FBI.
[01:50:53]  Ultimately, that was during Epstein's second run-in with law enforcement in New York.
[01:51:00]  And it wasn't just her, it was a list of many other women as well, one of which was Gillene Maxwell, yet Gillene Maxwell is the only one sitting in prison.
[01:51:09]  And I think, you know, when we're talking about the crimes that were committed by Jeffrey Epstein, well, he didn't just do it alone.
[01:51:14]  And plenty of the victims that were trafficked didn't turn around and do some of the other things that some of these women who were listed as co-conspirators did.
[01:51:24]  And so I think that it's very interesting because, you know, you're seeing a lot of these emails come out.
[01:51:29]  A lot of these emails specifically are some of the more egregious ones, whether it was the implications of one that was written.
[01:51:36]  Also, too, there's a number of other emails where this woman continues to pop up.
[01:51:41]  There's also one where it's mocking a little girl talking about how she's protected by Jesus.
[01:51:47]  That was also sent by a woman who was listed as a potential co-conspirator.
[01:51:52]  And then a number of other emails that get into weird code talk.
[01:51:55]  I mean, you name it, it's there.
[01:51:57]  But from what I've been observing, it appears that these women, whether or not they were, you know, trying to maybe replace Glene Maxwell, whatever it might have been, they did engage in what I would say is trafficking of, you know, 10, 11-year-olds, minors for sure.
[01:52:15]  And it's not okay because what ends up happening is, you know, the American people want names, they want justice.
[01:52:22]  To be clear, these charges really did start under Bush administration 1.0.
[01:52:28]  And it does seem that there was a lapse of justice for the victims that were not engaged in these horrible acts against other young women.
[01:52:39]  But also, too, in addition to that, you have this question of, okay, well, why were they given these plea deals if they're listed in an FBI document as co-conspirators?
[01:52:49]  And I understand that some of these charges might be now outside of the statute of limitation, but I do think that the DOJ should re-examine these plea deals because although it wasn't this current administration's DOJ that did this, it definitely is now something that I think the American people feel that there needs to be justice for.
[01:53:07]  And then obviously, too, you have this aspect of, you know, I see a lot of people saying, okay, well, or they're assuming that some of these emails were written by men.
[01:53:14]  But the fact is, is that from what I have seen, a lot of them are written by women.
[01:53:20]  And it's crazy to think that that would be a lot shocking how many women.
[01:53:28]  Yeah.
[01:53:29]  It's, you know, I think people historically maybe think, and it's just in our nature to think that women might not commit, you know, evil acts.
[01:53:38]  But as you're seeing with this specifically, one email sticks out to me, you know, point blank in that I read they were basically trying to locate a young girl's birth certificate in Russia, and they were bringing her to the United States, I assume, on email traffic.
[01:53:55]  And in the same email thread, it also talks about a porn hub introduction.
[01:53:59]  And so the fact is, is that Jeffrey Epstein did have these girls.
[01:54:03]  From what I've gathered, his preference was younger, very young girls.
[01:54:08]  But what he was doing is he was definitely bringing the ones that looked legal and likely weren't around people who were in positions of influence and or politicians, et cetera.
[01:54:22]  I think, you know, in Prince Andrew's case, I think that he has a lot of explaining to do.
[01:54:27]  And I do think also some people were aware of what he was doing.
[01:54:31]  But then I also think that there were some people that he kind of brought into his orbit potentially with the intention of compromising them and then exploiting that compromise material.
[01:54:43]  I mean, I saw a video of Donald Trump in 2015 saying, you want to know who Prince Andrew is?
[01:54:51]  Well, look up his relationship with Epstein.
[01:54:54]  I mean, that's 2015.
[01:54:55]  Oh, yeah.
[01:54:55]  And he said at the time, everybody knows it, which I think is true.
[01:55:00]  I think all of these people that run in these circles, they knew.
[01:55:03]  They knew.
[01:55:04]  So why are we not what happened to the names?
[01:55:10]  Why is this not going anywhere?
[01:55:11]  Why are we not seeing a bunch of people being charged with anything?
[01:55:18]  Well, it's multifaceted, right?
[01:55:20]  So when we had our initial hearing with some of these victims and the attorneys, and to be clear, not all of these victims engaged in co-conspirator behavior, nor did all of these victims engage in trafficking younger girls, okay?
[01:55:34]  This was a select group of women that even after, let's say they were initially one of Epstein's victims, now when they became adults, they then started getting paid.
[01:55:44]  They liked the lifestyle.
[01:55:45]  There are some emails talking about, you know, 10 and 11-year-olds.
[01:55:49]  If I go through all the stuff, it would probably make you guys sick even just hearing this radio interview.
[01:55:54]  But the point is, is that, you know, when you're looking at, well, where are the names, right?
[01:55:59]  Like we were promised by the victims that they would give us a list of names to be able to investigate.
[01:56:05]  And at the same time, there's this massive lawsuit with Deutsche Bank.
[01:56:09]  And so what the attorney said to us when we were actually in the meeting with the speaker, members of Oversight, the victims and the attorney, is that from what I'd gathered, they were getting phone calls from people that were potentially exposed and or looking to settle.
[01:56:25]  And when you settle, you know, a lawsuit, and I'm not saying that these victims don't have right to financial damages because of the fact that they were exploited.
[01:56:35]  But then from what I gather, there's also an NDA that goes with that.
[01:56:39]  So I don't necessarily know that we will ever get the names from the true victims that were trafficked, but that's why I say I have a deep invested interest in at least urging and advising the DOJ to look at these plea deals because I do believe the women that were given some of these plea deals may have committed other acts.
[01:56:57]  Again, I will reference that email where they were trafficking a young girl in from Russia.
[01:57:02]  And then there's that porn hub introduction kind of correspondence.
[01:57:07]  But for that to be said, you know, there's other things that they can hit them with, human rights violations, et cetera, that don't operate with the same statutes of limitations.
[01:57:17]  And so that's kind of where we're at right now.
[01:57:20]  I think that that's the only way that you're really going to be able to figure out, okay, well, who knew what, who was doing what?
[01:57:26]  And I would say that the co-conspirators should not have been let off and they should have not have had their sentences dropped.
[01:57:33]  And I find it deeply disturbing that of the entire list of co-conspirators that we all had access to and we all saw, they're all women.
[01:57:40]  But guess what?
[01:57:41]  The only one sitting in jail is Galene Maxwell.
[01:57:43]  I know.
[01:57:45]  I've got so many things to talk to you and only about three or four minutes left.
[01:57:49]  We'd love to have you back and talk about the UFOs that we now have more information on, which is just getting bizarre.
[01:57:56]  But we found out the Supreme Court today said that most of the Trump tariffs are overturning them, and he can't do that.
[01:58:06]  What are your thoughts on that?
[01:58:09]  I think Trump's reciprocal tariffs have been the reason why we've had a surplus.
[01:58:13]  And you guys remember during the first shutdown this year, we were able, or President Trump was able to offset Democrats cutting all funding for the WIC program, known as Women, Infinitesimal Children, given to lower-income American citizens by using the balance and the surplus that he had from the reciprocal tariffs and then also the benefits for military of the 1776 check.
[01:58:36]  But it's really, really stupid economics for people to think that that wasn't helping the American people because it gave us a massive negotiating tool, especially with dropping the cost of product.
[01:58:48]  You're actually seeing it now impact the supermarkets across the country.
[01:58:52]  And so I think, you know, some of my colleagues are controlled by their donors and some of the donors even were trying to call me, getting me to work against the president, and I would not do it.
[01:59:01]  I said, you don't understand that this is actually also part of the trade negotiations and it's going to work out.
[01:59:06]  And it did.
[01:59:07]  And so you're going to see why people elected Trump is they didn't want any more of the DC policy as normal.
[01:59:12]  And unfortunately, in this instance, they got it.
[01:59:16]  I had lots of people call me and say, can you talk to the president?
[01:59:19]  This is, you know, I'm like, nope, that's not my job.
[01:59:22]  I'm not going to talk to the president about it.
[01:59:23]  That's your job.
[01:59:24]  You take care of that.
[01:59:27]  I happen to believe he was working on something far bigger than anybody else could even understand.
[01:59:32]  Yeah, and these people are worried about, you know, how it's affecting their business in the short term, not looking at the long term, how much it was actually going to impact them for the better.
[01:59:42]  And unfortunately, a lot of people are very coupled with China, and they will only want to do their trade with China, and that's part of the problem as well.
[01:59:49]  And we can probably do a whole other 10 segments on China alone.
[01:59:54]  But the whole issue that we have now is that we have a slim majority, and a lot of these frontline members are thinking that this will hit them in the midterms.
[02:00:02]  But as you're seeing, it's actually benefiting our country.
[02:00:05]  And, you know, you're going to see this thing with the favorite nations pricing, especially there was a group of conservative organizations, which I was surprised at saying that President Trump was basically embracing socialist policies or something along those lines.
[02:00:16]  And that's completely not true.
[02:00:18]  And such a terrible perspective to take because, you know, these same groups and same politicians are also owned by pharmaceutical.
[02:00:24]  And so, yeah, we have an uphill battle, but like you have to get in the fight and you can't just, you know, it's one step back, but we'll take two steps forward.
[02:00:32]  So.
[02:00:33]  Okay, I've got 90 seconds left.
[02:00:34]  Tell me what.
[02:00:35]  Are we going to war?
[02:00:38]  I have not heard murmur of that.
[02:00:41]  I also know, though, that President Trump wants there to be a negotiation with the government of Iran.
[02:00:48]  And so I think that they should listen.
[02:00:51]  And I think that they take President Trump very seriously.
[02:00:54]  So I am hoping that we do not.

=== Aliens, Demons, and Politics (04:34) ===

[02:00:56]  But also, I'm not a part of those discussions in the situation room.
[02:01:00]  So I don't want to speculate.
[02:01:02]  But I'm hoping that we don't.
[02:01:03]  Hoping that we don't.
[02:01:05]  Does he believe, so Mai?
[02:01:07]  Do you believe he needs an act of war from Congress for something like this?
[02:01:12]  You know, Iran on a few occasions threatened to assassinate the president.
[02:01:19]  And to my understanding, there were some interesting things that may have happened leading up to his election, et cetera.
[02:01:27]  I think that in itself gives him unilateral authority.
[02:01:32]  However, I am always going to err on the side of caution, especially when it comes to foreign conflict and caution against intervention wherever I can.
[02:01:43]  However, in this instance, I do not know that we will get to that point because, again, negotiating, negotiating tactics.
[02:01:50]  Yeah.
[02:01:51]  Anna Paulina Luna.
[02:01:52]  Always good to talk to you.
[02:01:53]  Thank you, Congresswoman.
[02:01:54]  Appreciate it.
[02:01:55]  Representing the great state of Florida.
[02:01:58]  You bet.
[02:01:59]  All right.
[02:01:59]  Our sponsor is Rapid Radios.
[02:02:01]  Let me ask you a practical question.
[02:02:02]  When something goes wrong, how fast can you talk to the people you need?
[02:02:07]  Not text them, not hope they have service, not wait for the call to connect.
[02:02:10]  I mean talk immediately.
[02:02:12]  Whether you're imagining you're managing a property, you're working land, you're traveling with family, you're coordinating a construction crew or any kind of crew, there are moments when clarity matters much more than convenience.
[02:02:24]  And that's when you realize how dependent you've become on systems that aren't always dependable.
[02:02:29]  The RAD1 rapid radio is built for real-world communication.
[02:02:33]  You charge it, you turn it on, and you're connected.
[02:02:36]  No complex setup, no digging through menus, just direct, clear communication when you need it.
[02:02:41]  It is rugged.
[02:02:42]  It is simple.
[02:02:43]  It's designed for people who expect their equipment to work the first time, not after three attempts.
[02:02:49]  Because in moments that really matter, Can You Hear Me Now is not a strategy.
[02:02:53]  It's when seconds count.
[02:02:55]  The right tool can make all the difference between confusion and control.
[02:02:58]  The new RAD 1 is officially live.

[02:03:11]  Glenn Beck is back, after this.
[02:03:30]  Your membership in Torch's community means learning, empowering, and interacting with a growing community of like-minded people who believe in America.
[02:03:40]  Join us at Glennbeck.com slash torch.
[02:03:44]  I got to tell you, it's one of the coolest features of the torch is the interaction.
[02:03:50]  I am cooler for me because I'm learning so much from the audience and getting ideas on things we have to do.
[02:03:56]  Jason is joining us.
[02:03:57]  He does the Torch Insider show during this show.
[02:04:01]  When I go into commercials, he picks it up and gives additional information.
[02:04:05]  I just don't have time to put in the show.
[02:04:07]  Jason, I'm seeing a recurring theme from, because we started the show talking about, you know, aliens.
[02:04:16]  And I'm seeing a recurring comment.
[02:04:19]  Are aliens demons?
[02:04:21]  People think that maybe aliens are demons.
[02:04:24]  Did you get into that at all?
[02:04:26]  Or did you pick up on that comment?
[02:04:28]  So, yes, I did see that comment a little bit, but there's actually some backing for that because you actually did a podcast.
[02:04:34]  I can't remember.
[02:04:35]  Maybe Rockstar Ricky remembers.
[02:04:36]  I can't remember the name of the guy.
[02:04:38]  It was one of the first podcasts.
[02:04:39]  Timothy Alberino?
[02:04:41]  I don't think it was him.
[02:04:42]  It was the original guy.
[02:04:44]  Burgess.
[02:04:45]  That wasn't him, man.
[02:04:46]  We've had a lot of from the 2017 disclosures.
[02:04:49]  I can't remember his name, but he talked about, he had Inside Access, and he said that one of the high-level discussions they were having behind the scenes, the top scientific minds said exactly that, the potential that it could be demons.
[02:05:01]  They don't know, but they actually analyzed it.
[02:05:04]  So it is out there.
[02:05:04]  We have to find that.
[02:05:05]  We have to find that.
[02:05:06]  Let's find that this weekend and let's find him.
[02:05:09]  I'd love to do that and have him on as a guest to talk about that because I found that an interesting comment from the insiders that maybe these aliens are demons.
[02:05:19]  Fascinating.
[02:05:20]  Let's explore that and talk to somebody who actually is intelligent on it and can make a good case one way or another.
[02:05:28]  All right.
[02:05:29]  Have a safe weekend.
