=== Home Invasion Scenarios (03:22) ===

[00:00:00]  You're at home in the middle of the day, going about normal, quiet afternoon when something stops you cold.
[00:00:04]  Not a doorbell, not a knock, but the sound of somebody testing your doorknob.
[00:00:07]  And at first, you might wait, you know, thinking it's a mistake.
[00:00:11]  And then you hear footsteps moving along the side of the house.
[00:00:14]  Whoever has decided to try to get in has tried to get in another way.
[00:00:18]  And in that moment, everything becomes very, very clear.
[00:00:21]  This isn't somebody, you know, at the wrong address.
[00:00:23]  This is someone seeing if your home is an easy target.
[00:00:27]  And that's when you realize how important it is to have an option that, You know, it doesn't require you to escalate to legal force.
[00:00:33]  It still gives you ways to protect yourself and create distance if you need it.
[00:00:37]  And that is a Berna launcher.
[00:00:39]  That's what it's designed for.
[00:00:40]  It's a compact device that fires kinetic and pepper projectiles designed to stop a threat without using a firearm.
[00:00:47]  And it is legal in all 50 states, and you don't need a permit.

[00:01:43]  And thanks for standing with us.
[00:01:44]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:42]  Hello, America.
[00:02:44]  It's Friday, and I had about two hours of sleep last night, so this show could go awry quickly.
[00:02:53]  We have a lot, a lot on our plate, and I have quite a few opinions.
[00:03:00]  And every Friday, I always feel like, you know, I did four really good shows.
[00:03:07]  So I'm just going to come in on Friday and just like, whatever I am thinking, I'm going to say it.
[00:03:13]  And I got a lot to say today.
[00:03:17]  And it's.
[00:03:18]  Maybe because of the lack of sleep, possibly a little unfiltered.

=== Pakistan Minister Controversy (13:49) ===

[00:03:22]  And I begin with what we talked about yesterday.
[00:03:27]  Who do you trust?
[00:03:29]  Do you trust the Prime Minister of Pakistan or do you trust the President of the United States?
[00:03:36]  For all those who said, yeah, but Pakistan said this, I'm going to give you some information that might be interesting.
[00:03:43]  Might be interesting.
[00:03:46]  Also, those British hikers.
[00:03:48]  That crossed into America yesterday from Canada.
[00:03:51]  I thought that was such an interesting way to speak about four guys named Mohammed Mohammed Abdul Saeed Mohammed.
[00:04:02]  But just four British guys probably going out having a picnic and some tea with guns.
[00:04:08]  How do you get to Canada from Britain, who both of them do not want to even have pictures of guns in their country?
[00:04:23]  How do you get from Great Britain on an airplane to Canada and then cross into America and you've got guns?
[00:04:32]  Help me solve that problem, Mohammed, Mohammed, Saeed, Mohammed.
[00:04:37]  I'd really like some help on that one.
[00:04:41]  Also, some things that we might have missed, and Artemis comes back today at 8.07.
[00:04:47]  I suggest we pray.
[00:04:50]  This is a very, very dangerous six minutes tonight.
[00:04:55]  The most dangerous part of the entire mission happens tonight at 8.07.
[00:05:00]  And we'll bring you up to speed on all of that and so much more.
[00:05:02]  Stand by.
[00:05:03]  We begin in 60 seconds.
[00:05:04]  First, your dog is not, you know, a great judge of what he should be eating.
[00:05:08]  I mean, have you seen what your dog has eaten out in the yard?
[00:05:13]  You see what I'm saying here?
[00:05:14]  They're not really the sharpest tool in the drawer, you know, but they eat what you put in front of them sometimes, but their body reacts.
[00:05:27]  Their body is telling you i'm not getting the nutrition I need and most of us think that that is our, just our dog getting older.
[00:05:33]  But i'm telling you, as somebody who I started feeding Uno, maybe when he was nine, I think uh started feeding him rough greens and i'm telling you, the last four years of his life, three years of his life, were amazing.
[00:05:50]  He changed.
[00:05:51]  He seemed to almost get younger.
[00:05:53]  Um, because he had more energy.
[00:05:55]  He was a different dog, much more playful, And it was all because of Rough Greens.

[00:06:17]  Okay, I want to bring Jason and Ricky in because I just want to have a couple of conversations, just make sure that I'm getting these stories right.
[00:06:25]  Because again, two hours of sleep.
[00:06:28]  And I just want to make sure.
[00:06:30]  So, the prime minister of Pakistan is the guy who's doing the negotiations between us and Iran.
[00:06:38]  And yesterday, as I said, when people said, no, Israel and Lebanon, that wasn't included in the ceasefire.
[00:06:50]  Our president said, No, it wasn't.
[00:06:54]  I told you yesterday, I don't believe Benjamin Netanyahu because they're operating on their own thing.
[00:07:00]  Okay.
[00:07:01]  But I do believe the president.
[00:07:02]  And if I have to choose between what did the president say and what did the prime minister of Pakistan say, who I challenge you right now, give me the name of the prime minister of Pakistan.
[00:07:14]  You can't.
[00:07:15]  You trust somebody you can't even, you don't even know his name and you trust him more.
[00:07:21]  And I said, You know, I think it's, I think it's.
[00:07:23]  As an American, we should trust our side first with full understanding.
[00:07:27]  They could be lying to us, but it'll come out.
[00:07:31]  Well, it came out.
[00:07:32]  It came out.
[00:07:33]  The defense minister of Pakistan.
[00:07:37]  So, this is, you know, our Pete Hagg, their Pete Hagg Seth.
[00:07:41]  Imagine if, you know, Donald Trump was doing negotiations and then Pete Hagg Seth comes out and says this Israel is evil.
[00:07:56]  And a curse on humanity.
[00:07:58]  While peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon.
[00:08:04]  Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel.
[00:08:06]  First Gaza, then Iran, now Lebanon.
[00:08:10]  Bloodletting continues unabated.
[00:08:13]  I hope and pray people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land can get rid of the European Jews that will burn in hell.
[00:08:23]  Wow, now he's fair.
[00:08:24]  He seems like an honest broker, doesn't he?
[00:08:29]  Congratulations for anybody who said, I side with Pakistan.
[00:08:32]  I believe they have the best intentions.
[00:08:36]  Do you?
[00:08:37]  Do you?
[00:08:38]  This, for anybody who is believing Pakistan, I just want you to know what most of those people say, well, I don't necessarily agree with that.
[00:08:48]  You don't?
[00:08:49]  Really?
[00:08:50]  Because I'll bet you believe in some of that.
[00:08:54]  And more importantly, show me your friends and I will show you your future.
[00:09:02]  You are standing in a room with a lot of people that believe that kind of stuff.
[00:09:09]  And by the way, that's not just clearly, I mean, you look up anti-Semitism in any dictionary, and I think that's the passage.
[00:09:20]  That's the definition of anti-Semitism.
[00:09:24]  But more importantly, in this case, if you're standing with these guys and you choose to believe these guys over the president of the United States, It's just absolutely anti-American.
[00:09:38]  It's anti-American.
[00:09:40]  You don't have to agree with Benjamin Netanyahu.
[00:09:43]  I told you yesterday, just said it a minute ago.
[00:09:45]  They're on a different path.
[00:09:47]  They're doing what they think.
[00:09:49]  They think that they are going to be wiped out by the 12ers, the Shia 12ers in Iran.
[00:09:56]  I happen to agree.
[00:09:57]  That's the way I would read it if I lived over in the Middle East.
[00:10:01]  But you don't have to agree because you're next, but you're not first.
[00:10:06]  So you have the time and the privilege to say, well, they're not coming after us.
[00:10:10]  Oh, it's not in our interest.
[00:10:13]  Israel doesn't have that.
[00:10:14]  That's what they believe.
[00:10:16]  You don't have to believe that.
[00:10:18]  Okay?
[00:10:18]  You don't have to side with them.
[00:10:21]  But Israel is evil and a curse for humanity.
[00:10:25]  Bloodletting continues unabated.
[00:10:27]  I hope and pray the people who created this cancerous state on Palestinian land get rid of all European Jews.
[00:10:36]  They burn in hell.
[00:10:38]  What?
[00:10:40]  Wow.
[00:10:42]  Wow.
[00:10:44]  Jason, any perspective on this?
[00:10:47]  Well, yes.
[00:10:48]  I mean, I just looked up in one of our copies.
[00:10:51]  We have an Encyclopedia Britannica here in the control room.
[00:10:54]  And it actually says, under the heading of neutral arbiter of peace, that you must use words like burn in hell when talking to some part of the negotiation.
[00:11:06]  So it is in there.
[00:11:07]  And one of the people at your negotiating table that is sitting there, it's required for you to be neutral to say that person is evil and a curse on humanity.
[00:11:15]  It's part of the process, Glenn.
[00:11:17]  Yeah, don't question it.
[00:11:18]  Okay.
[00:11:19]  Also, don't question the fact that these are the neutral arbiters of peace, and they also basically housed one of the worst terrorists to ever live, Osama bin Laden, just a football's throw away from an army base.
[00:11:32]  What?
[00:11:34]  I think that's also in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
[00:11:36]  That's part of the setup for who you have.
[00:11:39]  Ricky, can you please talk this madman down from the tree?
[00:11:42]  I wish I could, but I'm actually getting a little black pilled about the negotiation process now.
[00:11:47]  I really trust Donald Trump and JD Vance, but.
[00:11:51]  My word, how are you supposed to negotiate with people who have this ideology?
[00:11:57]  These are the most sane people in the room.
[00:12:00]  Please, I can't believe I'm saying this.
[00:12:01]  Can we bring Qatar in?
[00:12:04]  Hell.
[00:12:04]  No, not Qatar, not Qatar.
[00:12:08]  UAE, maybe.
[00:12:10]  The lunatic that puts his enemies, his enemy reporters into blenders, maybe, but not Qatar, not Qatar.
[00:12:21]  Okay.
[00:12:22]  I think that we can go back to your Valkyrie statement, Glenn.
[00:12:25]  I really do not.
[00:12:27]  I think all of this is part of the process.
[00:12:30]  I really do.
[00:12:31]  While the prime minister of Pakistan is copying and pasting what looks like from ChatGPT, random parts of the agreement, and putting it out on X, I don't know.
[00:12:41]  I don't even know if he knows who he's getting this from in the Iranian regime.
[00:12:45]  If he's getting it from an IRGC commander, if he's getting it from part of the political class, I don't think he even knows.
[00:12:52]  But I do think there's a lot of turmoil going back and forth within Iran, within the negotiators, and everyone is fighting at the moment.
[00:13:00]  Everyone's concentrating on this huge publicity game that the Iranians are playing with releasing an older version of the 10 point plan.
[00:13:09]  I think all of this is specifically about inner turmoil within Iran, creating it, stoking it, and sitting back and watching it as they get closer towards these negotiations led by JD Vance.
[00:13:23]  I have to tell you, I find this actually kind of refreshing because everyone is revealing who they really are.
[00:13:34]  Yes.
[00:13:34]  I mean, I like it when people talk, you know.
[00:13:38]  Everybody's like, they should shut up.
[00:13:39]  That is so dangerous.
[00:13:40]  No, let them talk.
[00:13:41]  Let them talk.
[00:13:43]  I like knowing exactly who they are.
[00:13:45]  We now know who our main negotiator, our neutral party is.
[00:13:50]  We know exactly who they are now.
[00:13:52]  Okay.
[00:13:53]  So, When they say something.
[00:13:55]  I mean, unless you just hate America so much.
[00:14:00]  I mean, honestly, you don't have to trust the government.
[00:14:03]  What has the government done to gain your trust?
[00:14:07]  Not a lot.
[00:14:09]  But what has Donald Trump done to gain your trust?
[00:14:13]  Right now, people are jumping off the speed because he promised us no wars.
[00:14:18]  He did not promise you that.
[00:14:20]  What moron promises any country no wars?
[00:14:24]  I'm sorry.
[00:14:24]  Beside Woodrow Wilson and then get us into a war.
[00:14:28]  What moron does that?
[00:14:30]  That's not even reasonable.
[00:14:31]  As a president of the United States, it's not reasonable to say we're not going to have war.
[00:14:35]  Okay.
[00:14:36]  What he was saying is no more of these never ending wars.
[00:14:41]  So we're in this now for 30 days.
[00:14:43]  Is that never ending?
[00:14:45]  I mean, this, don't get me wrong, this could go horribly.
[00:14:50]  I am not on the bandwagon of going, yay, we got to go in and kill everybody in Iran.
[00:14:57]  I'm not for that.
[00:14:58]  I'm not for that.
[00:15:00]  We're in this now.
[00:15:02]  What do you say?
[00:15:02]  We give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who I think has earned our trust.
[00:15:08]  He's earned our trust.
[00:15:09]  What, tell me what, what, Tell me somebody who is as a president who has done a better job at military operations, done better than this guy.
[00:15:26]  I don't even know if I'd put FDR in that category.
[00:15:31]  It's been stunning what this guy has done.
[00:15:34]  So relax.
[00:15:36]  Monday, I'm going to share something.
[00:15:37]  I'll put something up on the chalkboard.
[00:15:39]  What if we back up a little bit more and thought even of a bigger picture?
[00:15:45]  I'm going to share this with you on Monday because I'm thinking, you know, there could be, this could be a disaster.
[00:15:54]  This could be an absolute disaster.
[00:15:56]  But is that a reason to freak out?
[00:15:59]  As I was thinking about this yesterday, I was on a plane going up to Washington yesterday, which, by the way, Russ Vogt, I love you.
[00:16:07]  Russ Vogt is, he's the guy.
[00:16:11]  He was the architect of Project 2025 and everything that happened in the first 100 days.
[00:16:18]  He's the guy, and he's hated for it, and I love him for it.
[00:16:23]  And because of the war and everything else, he was supposed to have somebody speak at one of his big conferences yesterday.
[00:16:30]  A big, big, big cabinet member who shall remain nameless.
[00:16:33]  Shall remain nameless.
[00:16:34]  And then I don't think they announced in advance that he wasn't coming and that I was coming in his stead.
[00:16:40]  And so they introduced me, and they were just like, oh, great.
[00:16:45]  Guys, that is not true.
[00:16:46]  That's Glenn.
[00:16:48]  Okay, that's.
[00:16:49]  Feigning humility.
[00:16:50]  The room loved it.
[00:16:52]  But I had a chance to go up there and talk.
[00:16:56]  And I got to tell you, these guys get it.
[00:16:58]  So I'm on the plane from that experience last night.
[00:17:02]  And I'm thinking, all right, if things go really, really horribly, is there a way to take that and make it into lemonade?

=== Unexpected Parliament Guest (07:09) ===

[00:17:11]  And I think there is.
[00:17:13]  I think it's actually, I mean, it's not what's happening, but I think when you hear it on Monday, Somebody might want to call the president and say, Hey, have you thought about this?
[00:17:27]  Because it doesn't have to go horribly to do this as well.
[00:17:32]  I mean, it's one of those, you know, one rock and two birds or whatever it is, one stone and two, whatever that saying is.
[00:17:42]  It's Friday.
[00:17:43]  I'm tired.
[00:17:44]  Okay.
[00:17:45]  Back off.
[00:17:45]  You've had four good shows from me.
[00:17:47]  How many good shows have you done today, America?
[00:17:50]  Right.
[00:17:51]  Okay.
[00:17:52]  So I'm going to give you that on Monday.
[00:17:54]  But we just, We have to know who our friends are.
[00:17:57]  With that said, I want to tell you something that happened in the EU here in the last, what, two weeks?
[00:18:05]  And I can't believe nobody's talking about it.
[00:18:09]  I found out about this last night.
[00:18:10]  I'm like, wait a minute.
[00:18:11]  Wait, wait, wait.
[00:18:12]  What?
[00:18:13]  Something really good is happening and very unexpected.
[00:18:18]  We'll get into that here in just 60 seconds.
[00:18:20]  First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
[00:18:22]  It's Patriot Mobile.
[00:18:23]  Sometimes you make a change and almost immediately you have that thought, why did I wait so long to do that?
[00:18:29]  Because it wasn't hard.
[00:18:30]  It wasn't risky.
[00:18:32]  Once you've done it, it feels really, really obvious, like it was the right move all along.
[00:18:36]  Okay, that's what this is with switching over to Patriot Mobile.
[00:18:40]  It's really simple.
[00:18:41]  And you're going to say to yourself, why didn't I do that a long time ago?
[00:18:45]  You're going to get the same exact reliable coverage because they are on all three major carrier networks.
[00:18:51]  They have plans that fit your life, 100% U.S.-based customer support.
[00:18:55]  And as if that's not enough, there's something even better.
[00:18:59]  Because when you pay your bill, you know, some of that money that you pay to Verizon goes to Planned Parenthood.
[00:19:06]  Okay, I'm not for that.
[00:19:11]  When it goes to Patriot Mobile, that money goes to defend our Bill of Rights, our Constitution, our Declaration, the things that we're fighting for every day.
[00:19:21]  Why haven't you done this yet?
[00:19:23]  I know you think it's a hassle, but they make it so easy.

[00:19:37]  10 seconds, station 90.
[00:19:50]  Okay, can I just talk about the four British hikers?
[00:20:04]  I don't.
[00:20:05]  I have a feeling that that headline might be a little misleading.
[00:20:11]  Maybe.
[00:20:11]  A little bit.
[00:20:12]  A little bit.
[00:20:14]  So when you hear the story, you hear, oh, four British people came over and they were hiking on the border and somehow or another they and they slipped into America, but they were on this road and they didn't know.
[00:20:26]  They didn't know they crossed over in America.
[00:20:29]  Although, you know, they were recording stuff on their GoPro.
[00:20:32]  And when looked at their GoPro, one of them was like, hey, Mohammed.
[00:20:36]  Yeah, Mohammed.
[00:20:38]  Guess where we are now?
[00:20:40]  Where are we?
[00:20:40]  We're in America.
[00:20:41]  We crossed over to America.
[00:20:43]  Yes.
[00:20:44]  Praise be to Allah.
[00:20:45]  We're finally here.
[00:20:47]  I don't know.
[00:20:48]  That doesn't sound like you were going hiking and you accidentally slipped across our border.
[00:20:54]  Then you add the fact that they were met by Muslim Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad, and Muhammad were met by two other Muhammads in another car and on the American side, and they had weapons in the car.
[00:21:09]  But they were just hiking.
[00:21:10]  They just look, who doesn't like to go to, from England, travel over to Canada, go to a state most people can't even find on the map?
[00:21:23]  Where was it?
[00:21:23]  Vermont.
[00:21:24]  It was Maine and Maine hiking is very lovely.
[00:21:27]  It's beautiful and you can go visit Stephen King while you're there.
[00:21:30]  And so they go over to, they fly over to hike through Canada, not Maine, Canada.
[00:21:38]  And they accidentally find themselves in Maine.
[00:21:45]  How does that ring true to anyone?
[00:21:49]  Anyone?
[00:21:51]  Mueller.
[00:21:53]  Mueller.
[00:21:57]  Does the press think we're this?
[00:21:58]  Yes, they do.
[00:21:59]  Do you remember when President Trump got slammed by the press and by Canada for saying, I need you to shut down the border?
[00:22:06]  And he enacted tariffs until they made the northern border secure.
[00:22:09]  And everyone's like, there's nothing wrong with the northern border.
[00:22:12]  It's all in the southern border.
[00:22:14]  Yeah.
[00:22:15]  Yeah.
[00:22:16]  Yeah, I do remember that.
[00:22:19]  Turns out that it's actually not secure and they didn't secure it.
[00:22:28]  But I think Canada is in real trouble.
[00:22:30]  I think people are waking up in Canada.
[00:22:32]  I'm going to show some things that are happening in Canada next week that'll blow your mind.
[00:22:36]  Oh, while I'm there, let me go to the EU Parliament.
[00:22:41]  The Parliament, the EU Parliament just approved a bill.
[00:22:48]  To begin deporting irregular migrants.
[00:22:55]  This is, they are saying this is a Trump move.
[00:23:01]  And the vote was 389 to 206.
[00:23:09]  The leadership of the EU was not happy at all.
[00:23:12]  But that's what's happening in Parliament.
[00:23:14]  There is something happening.
[00:23:16]  Europe is starting to wake up, Canada is starting to wake up.
[00:23:20]  I think America is waking up.
[00:23:22]  More in a minute.
[00:23:23]  Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
[00:23:28]  Let me tell you about SuperSure.
[00:23:30]  When it comes to insurance for your business, there is a difference between having information and being able to use it.
[00:23:36]  Most business owners have all the information in a booklet and some paperwork someplace.
[00:23:40]  They have policies.
[00:23:41]  They have documents.
[00:23:42]  They have coverage details.
[00:23:44]  But try to pull it all together.
[00:23:45]  Try to see how it connects.
[00:23:47]  Try to answer a simple question about, are we covered for this?
[00:23:51]  Not simple.
[00:23:52]  Because it's not organized in a way that helps you think, because it's not in the interest of the insurance company.
[00:23:58]  That's what SuperSure changes.
[00:24:00]  They are a licensed insurance agency that helps bring all of your coverage into one place with a dedicated licensed agent who can walk you through what you have and what it means and can tell you and compare all insurance policies, all of them, because they have this new technology that'll blow your mind.

[00:24:37]  The American story drops tomorrow on all podcast apps.
[00:24:40]  Torch Insiders get the first 10 episodes ad free now at glenbeck.comslash torch.
[00:25:02]  I'm so excited.
[00:25:04]  We have been doing all kinds of different things at The Torch.
[00:25:08]  One of these is a 20 part series.
[00:25:12]  And so you know, every 45 minutes takes us about 18 hours to produce.
[00:25:20]  It is the best audio drama I have ever been a part of, and one of the best audio dramas I've ever heard.
[00:25:28]  And I can say that because I'm only. narrating them.
[00:25:33]  This team is unbelievable.
[00:25:35]  And it is the American story.
[00:25:37]  And it's based on the book by David and Tim Barton, The American Story.
[00:25:41]  And we take you from Columbus all the way.
[00:25:46]  I'm in the, I think I just finished recording episode 16.
[00:25:50]  And that is towards the end of the Civil War.
[00:25:55]  We're getting to Gettysburg now.
[00:25:56]  But we take you from Columbus all the way through.
[00:25:59]  You know, this, you are an outlier.
[00:26:03]  Most people, you ask them anything, who did we fight the war of independence with?
[00:26:08]  And they cannot tell you.
[00:26:10]  And you're going to lose your country if you don't know that.
[00:26:13]  If you don't know what we are, where we came from, what these documents, how we fought for this, you can't have a country.
[00:26:21]  And I know you know this.
[00:26:24]  And I know you want to pass it on to your kids.
[00:26:26]  But quite honestly, I hated history when I was a kid.
[00:26:29]  Absolutely hated it.
[00:26:32]  David Barton was one of the first people that brought it to life for me.
[00:26:36]  And I became addicted to American history because they're the greatest stories ever told.
[00:26:43]  They are just, they have absolutely everything, heroes and villains.
[00:26:48]  And sometimes, you know, it's, it's sometimes they turn out to be the same people.
[00:26:54]  It's incredible, our story.
[00:26:57]  And you are our, you're your children's history teacher because history is boring.
[00:27:03]  They tell you to memorize the names and the dates.
[00:27:06]  I want you to look at the arc.
[00:27:08]  I want you to learn the story.
[00:27:10]  I don't care about.
[00:27:11]  The names and everything else, the dates.
[00:27:16]  Out of all the stuff that we have to worry about, memorizing a date is the most important thing.
[00:27:21]  No.
[00:27:23]  Tell me what the Emancipation Proclamation did.
[00:27:26]  I don't care what year it happened in.
[00:27:29]  Tell me what it did.
[00:27:31]  Why was that struggle for that?
[00:27:33]  How did we come to all men are created equal?
[00:27:37]  So no matter how much you think you know about American history, this whole series is written by Nathan Knipper, who is one of our best writers.
[00:27:46]  He is our best history writer by far.
[00:27:50]  And I have learned just reading them.
[00:27:52]  I can't tell you how many times I have said, Nathan is there when I'm narrating.
[00:27:57]  And I said, Is that true?
[00:27:59]  Is that, I mean, we have that?
[00:28:00]  He's like, Yes, Glenn.
[00:28:02]  I mean, I have learned so much from this series.
[00:28:07]  Our nation's 250th birthday is this year.
[00:28:12]  We want you to dive in with your family on American history.
[00:28:16]  Let me give you a little taste.
[00:28:18]  Of the American story.
[00:28:20]  Here it is.
[00:28:21]  Context.
[00:28:22]  It's essential in history, but it's sometimes conveniently ignored by historians with an agenda.
[00:28:28]  So we need to rewind a little bit.
[00:28:33]  Christopher Columbus, William Bradford, John Smith, Edward Braddock, Robert Dingell Adams.
[00:28:39]  Every story from America's past.
[00:28:41]  Washington feels lightheaded, his own body severely depleted.
[00:28:46]  Then, with swift determination, he swings back onto his horse.
[00:28:50]  No time to register the pain coursing through him.
[00:28:53]  A history podcast written only with facts.
[00:28:57]  The air is still thick with smoke and bullets.
[00:29:00]  He draws his sword, charging ahead into the maelstrom.
[00:29:04]  From Columbus to Washington.
[00:29:06]  George Washington is now 23.
[00:29:07]  Three years old.
[00:29:09]  He's in a war that will reshape empires, a war that is also a forge, shaping him for the destiny he cannot imagine.
[00:29:19]  Learn about America as if you were there.
[00:29:26]  From Columbus to Jamestown, America's Messy Origins, that is episode one of the American Story.
[00:29:33]  It goes wide distribution tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts.
[00:29:39]  You'll be able to hear it.
[00:29:40]  It'll be in your RSS feed.
[00:29:42]  So you'll be able to, if you're on our email, you'll get that link tomorrow.
[00:29:47]  But wherever you get your podcast, you will be able to hear it tomorrow.
[00:29:52]  If you are an insider, you already have episode one through five.
[00:29:57]  We release them, I don't know, two months at launch.
[00:30:00]  Yeah, at launch of The Torch.
[00:30:02]  We have been waiting for this moment to give you episodes six through 10.
[00:30:08]  Those are available right now.
[00:30:10]  And I'm telling you.
[00:30:14]  I'm blown away by the work of my team on this.
[00:30:21]  Blown away.
[00:30:23]  I can't recommend this highly enough.
[00:30:25]  And we really want to hear your opinion on it because we want to make this so you can share this history.
[00:30:32]  They're all, what?
[00:30:35]  About 45 minutes.
[00:30:37]  About 45 minutes long.
[00:30:38]  And, you know, average commute, and maybe that's average commute to N. From, um, but you can listen to one at a time, one a day, a really, really good one a week.
[00:30:50]  Just make sure you listen.
[00:30:51]  The first one is out from Columbus to Jamestown.
[00:30:54]  This is the perfect time to share American history with your friends and family.
[00:30:59]  This is honest history.
[00:31:02]  Believe me, there's stuff in here that's uncomfortable, really uncomfortable.
[00:31:07]  You know, let me tell you this.
[00:31:12]  You know that Jamestown ended in cannibalism, right?
[00:31:16]  Did you know that?
[00:31:17]  I learned that from you recently.
[00:31:20]  Yeah.
[00:31:21]  So it ended in cannibalism.
[00:31:24]  When they actually got to Jamestown to rescue the people that were there, because they had heard they had run out of food and everything else, it had fallen apart so far.
[00:31:37]  When they got there, I think they found one person eating a dead child, and they found.
[00:31:45]  teeth marks on bones, human bones.
[00:31:49]  Why did that happen?
[00:31:51]  You know, for all of these people who say, you know, socialism is the way to go.
[00:31:56]  Christians need to be away from capitalism and socialism.
[00:32:00]  Jamestown, Jamestown ended in cannibalism because they were trying the socialist model.
[00:32:09]  It wasn't called socialism at the time.
[00:32:12]  It wasn't Marxism at the time, but it was.
[00:32:16]  The community.
[00:32:17]  Everybody put everything in one pile and take what you need.
[00:32:21]  Okay?
[00:32:22]  And you don't have to work.
[00:32:23]  Even if you're not working, we just assume you're going to work because it's for the good of the community.
[00:32:28]  Socialism.
[00:32:29]  It ended in cannibalism.
[00:32:31]  Okay, well, that's the English.
[00:32:33]  They weren't religious.
[00:32:34]  All right, let's look at the Pilgrims.
[00:32:36]  Did you know that they tried socialism?
[00:32:40]  They thought it was the Christian way to live.
[00:32:43]  So when they were on the Mayflower, they were like, you know what?
[00:32:46]  Let's share everything, let's come up.
[00:32:48]  With a system.
[00:32:49]  Let's live the way the Lord wants us to live and we'll take care of each other.
[00:32:53]  And, you know, we should all just put all of our stuff in a pile and just take what we need.
[00:32:59]  You know how that ended?
[00:33:02]  People were dying from starvation.
[00:33:04]  It didn't work.
[00:33:05]  And so they became capitalists.
[00:33:09]  This was a new idea.
[00:33:10]  Capitalism, the way we understand it, came from Adam Smith.
[00:33:15]  That's right around the time, I think it's maybe even the same year as our Declaration of Independence.
[00:33:23]  Before that, he was kind of noodling it all out with a book called Moral Sentiments, which was, look, if we're a God-fearing people, we will then produce things because the market will respond to what people need and want.
[00:33:41]  And if they're God-fearing people, they will need and want good things.
[00:33:44]  And so that will prompt the market to produce good things that are needed by the people to be stronger people.
[00:33:54]  So that's the system that the Pilgrims went to.
[00:33:57]  Kicked all of it off.
[00:34:01]  So please do not listen to anyone telling you that socialism is what Christ wants.
[00:34:10]  It's not.
[00:34:12]  His perfect order, where we all live like that, will happen when he is our earthly king.
[00:34:20]  Not beforehand.
[00:34:22]  Not beforehand.
[00:34:23]  Do you know that Reunion, if you go to Dallas and you'll see this big ball, it's on the skyline, and it's this, this big lit ball in the skyline of Dallas and it's a rotating restaurant, it's Reunion Tower.
[00:34:39]  Nobody knows what Reunion is.
[00:34:41]  Reunion was the town outside of Dallas back in the day in the 1800s.
[00:34:48]  What was Reunion?
[00:34:49]  Reunion was a town where I think the guy came from France and he was going to.
[00:34:54]  He was the one of the leading minds on Marxism and socialism.
[00:35:00]  They called it that at the time as Marx had written it all down, And so they believed that socialism was the way to go.
[00:35:08]  And so they wanted to come to America, to a frontier town where they could just start it and do it right.
[00:35:14]  And so they got the best minds of Marxism together and they all moved to Texas, just outside of Dallas, to reunion.
[00:35:24]  Guess how that ended?
[00:35:26]  It didn't end well.
[00:35:27]  Do you know why?
[00:35:29]  Because it was going great until people got really sick.
[00:35:35]  And they couldn't take care of each other.
[00:35:37]  So they just like, you have to leave.
[00:35:39]  When people got old and stopped working, the society couldn't afford to hold all those old people and care for them.
[00:35:47]  So they said, when you get to a certain age, you have to leave.
[00:35:51]  Kind of like what Canada is doing, except they're killing their old people and selling their organs.
[00:35:59]  It ends the same way every time.
[00:36:01]  It will only work when Christ is our king literally on earth.
[00:36:09]  So please don't listen to those people.
[00:36:11]  Get the real facts of American history.
[00:36:14]  It is bloody.
[00:36:16]  It is ugly at times.

=== Defending The Republic (03:16) ===

[00:36:18]  It is glorious at times.
[00:36:20]  It is filled with miracles, miracles.
[00:36:24]  And we tell the story in a way that doesn't feel like you're eating your vegetables.

[00:36:30]  I know you don't have time to sit and read a 600 or 1,000 page book.
[00:36:34]  This is honestly the scripts put together.
[00:36:37]  It's it's like Les Miserables.
[00:36:39]  It just but when you break it up and then you hear what Nick Daly has done to to Nathan's writing, it's unbelievable.
[00:36:51]  It you will the bullets.
[00:36:53]  It's done in I don't know what it's called some sort of 3d sound.
[00:36:57]  You'll feel like the bullets are whizzing by your head.
[00:37:01]  It's crazy.

[00:37:52]  I'm doing this and I'm learning stuff from Nathan.
[00:37:54]  And I'm like, wow, I didn't know that.
[00:37:56]  I had no idea.
[00:37:57]  And at the same time, when I'm narrating this stuff, I'm like, oh, I wish we had time to tell this story.
[00:38:03]  There, I could tell this whole story a second time and fill it with stuff we didn't have time to put in.
[00:38:11]  That's just as amazing as this is.
[00:38:14]  When you get addicted to history, you go down this rabbit hole and you find story after story after story.
[00:38:22]  You want to be America needs you and your children, you and your family to be somebody that is so excited about American history because it's contagious.
[00:38:35]  It's contagious when somebody says something to you and you're like, no, no, no.
[00:38:39]  Did you know?
[00:38:41]  Did you know that Columbus, whatever?
[00:38:44]  Did you know about George Washington?
[00:38:45]  Forget about the wooden teeth thing.
[00:38:47]  None of that's true.
[00:38:48]  Did you know about this?
[00:38:50]  Did you know about this with Abraham Lincoln?
[00:38:53]  Do you know how that actually happened when they shot him?
[00:38:56]  Do you know how he came into town to be sworn into office?
[00:38:59]  Do you know what happened?
[00:39:03]  When you're telling that story because you are so excited about it.
[00:39:08]  It's infectious.
[00:39:11]  That's what this series will do.

[00:39:23]  Episode one comes out tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts.
[00:39:29]  There is a very specific kind of silence that happens when you open a letter from the IRS.

=== IRS Letter Silence (03:40) ===

[00:39:34]  It's that moment when you realize, okay, this isn't good because the IRS doesn't play around with you.
[00:39:40]  They can levy your wages, they can drain your bank account, they can come after you in ways that will give you absolute nightmares.
[00:39:47]  This is where you want somebody who knows how the system works, somebody who deals with the IRS every day and understands how to navigate the right way.
[00:39:54]  And that's exactly what Rush Tax does.
[00:39:57]  They step in, they handle the back and forth, they help you find a real path forward.
[00:40:00]  So, you're not just reacting to a letter.
[00:40:02]  You're actually dealing with a problem head on, and they take over.
[00:40:06]  And they know what they're doing.
[00:40:07]  When you mention my name, Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation.
[00:40:11]  That's a service that other firms will charge you about $500 for, often without even confirming they can help you.
[00:40:16]  But Rush offers this upfront and free, and they will only take your case if they know they can help you.
[00:40:23]  So, get a Rush tax attorney right now.
[00:40:25]  Protect yourself.
[00:40:26]  Call 877-554-Rush.
[00:40:29]  877-554-Rush.
[00:40:31]  or go to rushtaxresolution.com.
[00:40:37]  You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh?
[00:40:41]  Glenn Beck will be right back.
[00:40:54]  Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
[00:40:57]  We lock the doors, we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
[00:41:05]  It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like.
[00:41:08]  Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name, and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you.
[00:41:21]  The scary part is you don't really know much about this as it's going on.
[00:41:25]  Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
[00:41:28]  And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
[00:41:31]  That's why you need Home Title Lock.
[00:41:33]  They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.

[00:42:35]  Jason, I just heard you say, and I was busy doing something else, I heard you talking to the insiders here a second in the break, and you were saying, I'm going to tell a story about something that happened while we were at the White House when you were shadowing me with the president.
[00:42:51]  You know, I signed a nondisclosure.
[00:42:55]  Did you have to sign a nondisclosure?
[00:42:57]  Only for that one part.
[00:42:58]  Only for that one part, which didn't include this part.
[00:43:01]  What story, can you give me a hint on what story you're about to tell here when you go into the break?
[00:43:06]  We were walking through a hall that had multiple pictures of first ladies.
[00:43:10]  And there was one painting of a first lady that I was deer in the headlights.

=== Spacecraft Building Miracles (15:08) ===

[00:43:15]  I made a joke about, didn't think it would land.
[00:43:17]  At first, it didn't, but someone saved me and everyone cracked up.
[00:43:21]  That's the tease.
[00:43:22]  I know, Ricky, she's looking like she's deer in the headlights.
[00:43:25]  You know what I'm talking about.
[00:43:26]  Yeah, I also made an inappropriate joke in the White House to the president.
[00:43:30]  All right, I don't think this is something you need to share with anyone.
[00:43:32]  It's going to be good.
[00:43:33]  It's going to be good.
[00:43:34]  Yeah.
[00:43:35]  Join us on Torch, glenbeck.com slash Torch.
[00:43:38]  Hello, America.
[00:44:41]  Welcome to Friday.
[00:44:44]  Artemis is coming home today.
[00:44:46]  It has the most critical six minutes of the mission.
[00:44:51]  The most maybe tied with the launch, and I think actually more dangerous because they actually have an escape possible at launch.
[00:45:02]  But the six minutes at beginning right around 8 o'clock tonight are the most dangerous.
[00:45:12]  We have seen people burn up before and be destroyed because you have no idea what it is like.
[00:45:19]  You have to hit the Earth's atmosphere exactly right.
[00:45:24]  Otherwise, you will bounce off.
[00:45:26]  You can come in too steep, blow up, hit too narrow, and bounce off.
[00:45:34]  You have to hit it exactly right, and then you have to hope that the tiles that are not made the way they used to be.
[00:45:44]  Are all secure.
[00:45:45]  Nothing has fallen off while you were going around the moon.
[00:45:48]  Nothing is going to heat up.
[00:45:50]  Last time Artemis went up, some gas started.
[00:45:54]  In a way, the gas kind of almost came alive again in these tiles and started to rise up and it started to pop some of the tiles off.
[00:46:05]  If that happens, our astronauts can die from the heat or the entire thing can just break up and disintegrate and blow up.
[00:46:12]  And it's.
[00:46:13]  It's going to be a tense few minutes.
[00:46:17]  And the guys who are there, I mean, are just remarkable people.
[00:46:22]  Yeah, even the Canadian, I have to say, even the Canadian.
[00:46:25]  Remarkable people.
[00:46:26]  And Victor Glover is the pilot, and he has been so open about his faith.
[00:46:34]  It's been really refreshing.
[00:46:36]  However, it caused some upset because he was saying, you know, there is no atheist on top of rockets.
[00:46:42]  Well, some Reddit user got that and said, no respect for Victor.
[00:46:47]  Keep it to yourself.
[00:46:48]  Just enjoy the 100% scientifically managed ride around the moon.
[00:46:53]  You're not praying to the rocket.
[00:46:55]  You're not praying the rocket into space, Victor.
[00:46:57]  The foxhole stuff is factually incorrect, as if it's a discount of bravery.
[00:47:02]  If anything, it lowers your respect even further.
[00:47:06]  Then he goes into, from a neurological standpoint, blah, It upset some atheists.
[00:47:14]  And I wondered, why are you so upset?
[00:47:16]  Nobody was praying to the rocket, and science.
[00:47:20]  And faith are not disconnected.
[00:47:22]  They're not.
[00:47:24]  God is the, if He exists, He would be the greatest scientist ever.
[00:47:28]  Do you know how accurate everything has to be?
[00:47:33]  You change the degree of space by one degree and the whole thing collapses.
[00:47:38]  I mean, He's the greatest mathematician and scientist ever.
[00:47:44]  And science can lead us and show us these amazing things.
[00:47:51]  So a response to that came from a guy named George Rausch.
[00:47:55]  And he said, I helped build the spacecraft.
[00:48:00]  And when we were building the spacecraft, one of our engineers would stand behind us while we were laying wire harnesses and read from the Bible.
[00:48:08]  We would sometimes pray before a large operation.
[00:48:11]  He brought his Bible into the clean room and private.
[00:48:14]  Privately prayed over a vehicle before we send it into test.
[00:48:18]  I'm pretty sure he prayed over Orion that's being flown on Artemis 2 as well.
[00:48:23]  The Orion team is just as religious, if not more religious, than we were.
[00:48:27]  We are the science, and we're glad astronaut Glover is as faithful as us.
[00:48:34]  I mean, it's an amazing thing.
[00:48:35]  Well, I wanted to talk to George because I thought that was a great idea.
[00:48:38]  I don't, I've never talked to anybody who's building this stuff.
[00:48:41]  I don't know what happens.
[00:48:42]  And I want to hear how he built it and about the faith that is involved.
[00:48:47]  I think that's fantastic.
[00:48:48]  We talked to him in 60 seconds.
[00:48:50]  First, let me tell you about Z-Factor.

[00:49:06]  And if that part's not working, everything else is just window dressing.
[00:49:09]  You're lying there waiting for your mind to shut off, waiting for your body to follow, and it just doesn't.
[00:49:13]  Please try Z-Factor from Relief Factor.

[00:49:43]  George, welcome to the program, sir.
[00:49:45]  How are you?
[00:49:46]  Hey, I'm doing all right, Glenn.
[00:49:48]  How are you?
[00:49:48]  That was a heck of a segue, by the way.
[00:49:50]  We'll talk to him in 60 seconds.
[00:49:52]  First, an advertisement.
[00:49:53]  That was really good.
[00:49:55]  Thank you.
[00:49:56]  Thank you.
[00:49:56]  And you know what?
[00:49:57]  You've built a hell of a spacecraft.
[00:50:00]  So I guess we're.
[00:50:01]  I should probably clarify.
[00:50:02]  I didn't actually build Orion.
[00:50:04]  I was working on something else.
[00:50:05]  We just encountered the Orion team every once in a while.
[00:50:10]  Those guys put in a lot of work, and they're still putting in a lot of work.
[00:50:13]  They're still building more, which I think is incredible.
[00:50:17]  Where do you work out of, if you can say?
[00:50:19]  So, yeah, Orion is built in southern Denver, Colorado, as well as at the Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale complex in California.
[00:50:27]  They do some work.
[00:50:28]  There and then it's integrated down at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
[00:50:34]  I'm sure you've seen some of the integration photos of them stacking it on the SLS rocket.
[00:50:39]  It's crazy, it is crazy.
[00:50:41]  When you look at the, I mean, I know how science works, but it is also a miracle.
[00:50:48]  It is a man made miracle to watch that thing go up.
[00:50:51]  There's it's a wonder of the world, it's incredible.
[00:50:56]  Well, everything is a miracle around us.
[00:50:58]  I mean, look at the society that you live in, look in the nation.
[00:51:02]  That you live in.
[00:51:03]  This is a.
[00:51:05]  The technology that we have available to us today, the innovation that we have available to us today, no society in history has ever created anything close to what exists in modernity today.
[00:51:17]  Your television, your smartphone, your airplane, your car, all of those are miraculous technologies to people just a few hundred years ago, and that was all possible because of a Protestant and Christian, primarily Christian, development in this world, and that is the United States.
[00:51:35]  Yeah, you know, people don't understand.
[00:51:37]  One of my favorite books is The 5,000 Year Leap.
[00:51:40]  And it shows how we went from candlelight to walking on the moon in less than 200 years.
[00:51:46]  And nobody really puts that together.
[00:51:49]  They don't ask, how did that happen?
[00:51:51]  I mean, people have been around for thousands of years and we never really moved past candlelight.
[00:51:57]  And then all of a sudden, candlelight to walking on the moon in 200 years, what changed?
[00:52:05]  And it is the Judeo Christian values being understood that all men are created equal and that everyone has the right to worship the way they want, live the way they want under certain principles.
[00:52:23]  And when you do that right, the whole world changes.
[00:52:26]  The whole world changes.
[00:52:29]  I completely agree.
[00:52:31]  I completely agree.
[00:52:32]  People are.
[00:52:35]  How do I put this?
[00:52:37]  So there's this idea in.
[00:52:39]  The world of engineering and the world of deep research that Big Bang Theory is representative of how scientists and researchers behave, how engineers behave.
[00:52:50]  But if you look at the characters on Big Bang Theory, that's your deep researchers.
[00:52:56]  Those are your people who are out there exploring the universe, doing all this.
[00:52:59]  People who really, really, really love Marvel Comics and really can't stand those really awful, backward, hillbilly religious people.
[00:53:07]  You see it in Big Bang Theory, you see it on other television shows where they always show Christians as being these very backward.
[00:53:13]  Farm people.
[00:53:14]  But to be completely honest with you, not only was the original Apollo program, as well as quite a lot of our leading aircraft programs, led and built by Christian men or men at least raised in a Christian society, the people today who are still working on this are overwhelmingly religious.
[00:53:33]  And I do want to make a note about our development from candlelight up to modernity that is worth talking about.
[00:53:39]  You talk about how it's Judeo Christian values, and it is worth noting that there is a bit of a difference here because.
[00:53:45]  It's not just the Judeo Christian values, and it's not just Christian values.
[00:53:50]  It's actually the United States doesn't exist unless there's a Protestant Reformation, unless there is an Enlightenment, unless there are people who have a reason to go over to the New World, who become self starters and say, I have to build a nation from the ground up because the old world doesn't work for me anymore.
[00:54:07]  So, in a lot of ways, the United States is a product of Christianity.
[00:54:14]  So, talk to me a little bit about the process of building the rocket and praying over the parts.
[00:54:23]  Sure.
[00:54:24]  So, I did not build rockets.
[00:54:26]  I built stuff that went on to rockets, and I didn't work specifically on the Artemis program.
[00:54:32]  Right.
[00:54:33]  I would be happy if you guys, so a little bit of background, you guys gave me, I think, less than 24 hours to say yes or no.
[00:54:42]  If we had a little bit more time, which I understand we're time constrained because Artemis 2 is coming back today.
[00:54:48]  On a steeper trajectory than previously known or previously attempted.
[00:54:53]  If we had a little bit more time, I would have gotten you somebody from the actual Artemis program so that they could explain to you exactly how they built O'Brien itself.
[00:55:05]  But building spacecraft is very interesting.
[00:55:09]  There are manufacturing engineers and mechanical engineers who work on the floor, and then you have your technicians.
[00:55:13]  I was a technician.
[00:55:14]  Technicians are guys with some sort of hands on experience.
[00:55:18]  That is people who are AMP aircraft mechanics.
[00:55:21]  AMP is airframe and power plant.
[00:55:22]  It's licensed from the FAA.
[00:55:24]  There's also other folks.
[00:55:26]  Our most talented technicians, the most talented people building the spacecraft, number one, was a guy who was a Toyota mechanic.
[00:55:32]  He worked for Toyota as a technician for 20 years.
[00:55:35]  And then he said, you know, I actually want to go build spaceships.
[00:55:39]  And then we had another guy who was a Fox body enthusiast.
[00:55:42]  He built Fox body Mustangs.
[00:55:43]  And that's what he was known for.
[00:55:46]  His hobby, his calling was he can restore a Fox body Mustang better than anybody.
[00:55:52]  It just so happened that in his day job, he's putting hardware in orbit.
[00:55:57]  So, your technicians are all very hands on, blue collar, good people.
[00:56:04]  Mike Rowe would be very impressed with the people who are building the spacecraft for this country because whether you're on the Orion team, the GPS team, or any of these teams that build spacecraft, whatever it is, they are all people who build with their hands because you have to, because it is a hand built industry.
[00:56:24]  So, to give you a little bit more on the process of building it and praying over it, a lot of days are very slow.
[00:56:34]  A lot of days you're just putting together wiring harnesses, taking care of thermal systems, et cetera.
[00:56:41]  There's a lot of gluing, a lot of string tying, a lot of putting on the podcast and just getting to work.
[00:56:50]  But on some days, big stuff has to happen and you move.
[00:56:53]  And obviously, when that happens, you've got teammates who are religious, myself included, and they would like to pray over it.
[00:57:00]  So we prayed over it.
[00:57:02]  And because of the nature of the kind of people that you can find who are available, who have the skills, interests, and abilities to do this kind of work, you tend to get a lot of religious people.
[00:57:14]  So, you know, we had people who were Orthodox Christian, people who were Protestant Christian, people who were Catholic Christian on our team.
[00:57:20]  We had an engineer who was Jewish.
[00:57:23]  We had all sorts of Very interesting backgrounds and beliefs.
[00:57:28]  And when you're all locked in a room together, working with your hands for hours at a time, you begin to talk about it.
[00:57:32]  You begin to have those conversations.
[00:57:34]  And one person's brought a Bible and he reads from it, and you talk about your interpretations.
[00:57:39]  And it's just something that you do to build rapport with your friends.
[00:57:44]  It's also a very spiritual engagement.
[00:57:49]  George, why do you think people work so hard to separate science and religion?
[00:57:57]  I mean, I think they go hand in hand.
[00:57:58]  In fact, Most people think, oh, the Big Bang, that was science.
[00:58:02]  No, that was actually religious people.
[00:58:05]  That was actually to prove God's existence.
[00:58:09]  And somehow or another, that thing got so turned around by atheists that now they try to use it to prove that there is no God.
[00:58:18]  It was actually a Christian concept.
[00:58:21]  The Big Bang came from Christians.

=== Science And Religion Debate (07:04) ===

[00:58:24]  Yeah, it's a demoralization campaign.
[00:58:29]  It's a demoralization campaign.
[00:58:31]  There are groups out there who would prefer if people were not proud of their country, proud of their history, proud of themselves, who didn't trust in their countrymen.
[00:58:40]  The more division you can sow, the easier it is to bring the United States apart.
[00:58:44]  It's the same kind of campaigns that you see running all over the world, but going after the divide between the cosmopolitan atheist and the rural Christian has been a very, very, very good wedge that has been used by both.
[00:59:01]  Groups inside and outside of the United States to help to break down our social fabric.
[00:59:08]  And I think separating religion from science is one of the ways that you break down America's social fabric because we are the Aerospace Republic.
[00:59:15]  We are a nation of innovation and we are a nation of Christians.
[00:59:19]  George, can you do me a favor?
[00:59:21]  I want to take a one minute break.
[00:59:22]  I'm going to make one of those very fancy transitions.
[00:59:25]  And then when I come back, I'd like, if you can, I don't know if you can, can you explain what the capsule is going to go through?
[00:59:34]  Tonight at about eight o'clock tonight, coming back into our atmosphere, what it takes, what beating that thing is going to take, and what they're afraid of, what happened last time.
[00:59:45]  Can you walk us through that a little bit?
[00:59:48]  Are you asking if I can go read the NASA root cause findings on the last reentry?
[00:59:53]  No, I'm just asking if you can give us a layman's understanding of that.
[01:00:00]  Hang on just a second.
[01:00:01]  Hang on.
[01:00:03]  If you can't, that's cool.
[01:00:04]  But hang on.
[01:00:04]  Let me just tell you about relief factor first.
[01:00:06]  I want you to imagine the perfect day.
[01:00:08]  For a second, you feel up, you know you're rested, you move through your morning without you know a little check-in with your body.
[01:00:13]  Sometimes you have to do.
[01:00:15]  Maybe you're outside, you're working on something you enjoy, maybe you're spending time with people you care about and you are present for it.
[01:00:22]  The only way you can have a day like that is if you're not really dealing with pain all the time, the way you might be right now.
[01:00:28]  Um, and I know you've tried a lot of stuff, but could I ask you to try Relief Factor.
[01:00:33]  It's a daily drug-free supplement developed by doctors to help your body fight inflammation, so you're not just getting through your day, You're actually able to enjoy it.
[01:00:41]  You know, Ricky said, we were on a plane yesterday and Ricky said, Do you really, what was it?
[01:00:44]  Do you really take relief factor?
[01:00:46]  You really believe in it or something like that?
[01:00:47]  Yeah, I did.
[01:00:48]  I asked if you believed in what you were eating and swallowing.
[01:00:51]  And I think my wife made it very clear, didn't she?
[01:00:54]  She takes it every night and it does actually help her sleep.
[01:00:57]  Yeah, no, but the relief factor, when we were talking about for the pain.
[01:01:00]  Yeah, in your hands.
[01:01:01]  Yeah.
[01:01:02]  And she was like, Oh, yeah, no, I lay it out for him every night.
[01:01:05]  I mean, she's like, and it works.
[01:01:09]  It does work.
[01:01:10]  I take it every day.
[01:01:11]  It broke the back of my pain.
[01:01:14]  So, the enhanced formula is out right now.
[01:01:16]  It's even smarter if you're already getting, you know, every month you're getting the new relief factor.
[01:01:21]  But you can start right now.
[01:01:23]  Try the three week quick start.
[01:01:24]  1995 relieffactor.com.
[01:01:26]  Call 800 for relief.
[01:01:27]  800, the number for relief.
[01:01:28]  It's relieffactor.com.
[01:01:30]  10 seconds, station ID, and then we're going to see this.
[01:01:32]  Hit Christian, try to explain the heat shields.
[01:01:37]  Hang on.
[01:01:44]  So, George, I hate to put you on the spot, and if you can't explain it, I completely understand.
[01:01:49]  But can you just give a layman's understanding to us about what the space capsule is going to go through here tonight at 8 coming back into our atmosphere?
[01:02:01]  Yeah, sure.
[01:02:03]  So, my understanding is that the.
[01:02:07]  Well, is this live, by the way?
[01:02:10]  Yes, it is.
[01:02:11]  There's no editing.
[01:02:12]  You're on a tightrope, man, without a net.
[01:02:14]  If you don't know, it's totally fine.
[01:02:16]  It's totally fine.
[01:02:17]  No, It's fine.
[01:02:18]  So, Orion uses a multi layer heat shield, and they're using a material called Avcoat as well as a handful of other materials.
[01:02:26]  The Orion heat shield is effectively an ablative shield, and it's not worth getting.
[01:02:31]  Let's not get too far into the sciences of it because I'm not an expert on it.
[01:02:36]  If you ask my coworkers, they'll go, George, that guy, you had him on?
[01:02:40]  No, no, no.
[01:02:41]  You should see me explain it.
[01:02:43]  And they're probably right.
[01:02:44]  But.
[01:02:45]  Understanding a little bit about the flight dynamics of Orion, what you have to understand is that the Orion heat shield is a certain section of it that is effectively baked epoxy.
[01:02:58]  And so, when we talk about today's reentry, and you talked about some of the issues with the last reentry, the issues that you're talking about are spalling issues.
[01:03:06]  So, the previous Orion reentry used what's called a skip reentry maneuver.
[01:03:12]  And just kind of a side note, we're using a skip reentry this time, but it's a little bit different.
[01:03:16]  And the reason why they use a skip reentry or a lofted reentry is because they're trying to keep temperature down on the heat shield itself.
[01:03:23]  And what they found is that there's actually bubbles in the AV code itself.
[01:03:29]  And what happens is, as the pressure builds and then releases, builds and releases, as they kind of, how do I say, not fishtail their way through the atmosphere, but kind of make their way up an elevation, down an elevation, up an altitude, down an altitude, the pressure builds and it can actually cause chunks of the heat shield to break off.
[01:03:50]  And so NASA did a root cause analysis and they dug into it.
[01:03:52]  They actually found the cause of the spalling and they determined that they can actually fix it by increasing the temperature that the panel is being exposed to, steepening the reentry a little bit, and bringing Orion in a little bit faster.
[01:04:04]  So they're taking some of the pressure risk off.
[01:04:09]  What temperature are they coming in at?
[01:04:12]  Any idea what that temperature is?
[01:04:14]  Yeah, we're talking about roughly 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, about 2,200 degrees Celsius.
[01:04:19]  Oh, gosh.
[01:04:21]  Oh, my God.
[01:04:22]  Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, you're talking about coming in at, you know, multiple times the speed of sound into an atmosphere which has molecules and those create resistance, so it gets pretty hot pretty quickly.
[01:04:37]  It must be hot, even with the shield working and everything.
[01:04:39]  It must just be scorching inside.
[01:04:44]  Not inside the vehicle itself.
[01:04:45]  The vehicle is temperature controlled and it's fantastically temperature controlled.
[01:04:50]  Wow.
[01:04:50]  Material sciences and thermo sciences, they do a fantastic job.
[01:04:54]  It'll get.
[01:04:55]  A little bit warm in there, but it shouldn't be anything significant.
[01:04:58]  We have temperature controls that keep the astronauts comfortable.
[01:05:01]  Someday you'll be able to go to space and you'll enjoy the air conditioning as well.
[01:05:06]  I love talking to you and I hope we get to meet someday.
[01:05:08]  And thank you for everything that all of you guys do on any part of the space program.
[01:05:12]  It's amazing.
[01:05:13]  Thank you so much.
[01:05:15]  Thank you.
[01:05:16]  You bet.
[01:05:19]  Exactly how far into emergency do you have to get before you think, wow, Glenn was right.
[01:05:26]  I should have prepared for this.

[01:07:00]  So, I want to bring Billy Halliwell in.
[01:07:02]  We've just been talking about going to space and everything else.
[01:07:04]  And there is something weird that is happening.
[01:07:06]  And I don't know.
[01:07:09]  I mean, I think it's all misdirection myself, but I believe in aliens.
[01:07:13]  I mean, I believe, I mean, again, as Carl Sagan said, if we're alone in this universe, what an enormous waste of space.
[01:07:21]  But it's almost like they're going to announce something.
[01:07:26]  You know, that's what it feels like.
[01:07:27]  So, Billy's the host of Investigating the Supernatural.
[01:07:32]  Miracles.
[01:07:34]  And I wanted to bring him on because he's been talking in this documentary.
[01:07:40]  He has Hugh Ross, Lee Strobel, John Burke.
[01:07:44]  They're all people who have been on this show talking about these things, but he's owned them in and really put together a really remarkable series here, a documentary.
[01:07:56]  And I want to play a clip from it.
[01:07:58]  When he sat up at the foot of the bed was this eight foot luminous angel.
[01:08:04]  That's when I began to realize there's a connection between demons and what we see in the UFO phenomena.
[01:08:09]  And on the last beat of my heart, my spirit left my body.
[01:08:15]  Is there a spiritual war going on around us?
[01:08:18]  Are angels and demons real?
[01:08:20]  Let's investigate.
[01:08:22]  In all ancient cultures, people believe in a spiritual wrong.
[01:08:27]  And I was struck that all throughout history, the vast majority of cultures not only believed in evil spirits, but believed in possessions.
[01:08:35]  And every major religion believes in angels.
[01:08:38]  For most of the world, the question isn't, is there a spiritual world?
[01:08:43]  The question is, which spirit is the most powerful?
[01:08:45]  But to say you believe in angels, demons, is oftentimes to expose you to ridicule.
[01:08:51]  Like, you sound like somebody from the Middle Ages.
[01:08:53]  Many scientists just write it all off saying, this is just people's imaginations.
[01:08:58]  They're hallucinating.
[01:08:59]  They're having dreams.
[01:09:00]  None of this is real.
[01:09:03]  I kept hearing, stop.
[01:09:05]  Don't go there.
[01:09:06]  And within a matter of minutes, a bomb went off.
[01:09:10]  All of a sudden, we hear this guttural sounding voice come out of her in the back.
[01:09:15]  You mumbo, jumbo, prayers will fail.
[01:09:18]  Just like they always do.
[01:09:20]  And the one from the driver's side reached over and put his hands right in the middle of the flat spot.
[01:09:24]  And the one from the pastor's side did the same thing.
[01:09:25]  My heart started supernaturally.
[01:09:28]  No CPR, no medicine.
[01:09:30]  What I uncovered changes everything.
[01:09:36]  Billy Olowell is joining us now.
[01:09:38]  Billy, how are you?
[01:09:40]  I'm doing well.
[01:09:40]  How are you?
[01:09:42]  It's good to have you on.
[01:09:43]  Good to have you on, my friend.
[01:09:45]  So it seems wonky, or not wonky, it seems, I don't know, religious hickey, I guess, to talk about angels and demons.
[01:09:58]  But I absolutely believe them.
[01:10:00]  And I think most people believe in angels and demons in some form or another.
[01:10:08]  What did you find that surprised you?
[01:10:11]  Yeah, you know, I found a lot that surprised me.
[01:10:14]  And let me tell you, we actually have new data that we're going to be putting out, and I'll share it here first.
[01:10:19]  We actually asked Americans what they believe on all of these things.
[01:10:22]  And the majority of the country, more than 50%, believe in angels, believe in demons, believe in all of these things.
[01:10:28]  And it's interesting.
[01:10:30]  What has surprised me the most is how mainstream this topic is because it does feel wonky, it does feel difficult to talk about.
[01:10:37]  And I think a lot of people.
[01:10:39]  Have had experiences, which we also gauge in this research, asking people, have they been spiritually attacked before?
[01:10:45]  What does that look like?
[01:10:46]  How do they respond to it?
[01:10:48]  And so for me, the big surprise is hey, you know what?
[01:10:51]  We feel like we can't talk about this stuff, but most of us are intrigued and actually believe in it.
[01:10:57]  And you know, it's really crazy.
[01:10:58]  I learned this as an alcoholic.
[01:11:00]  When you try to hide because you think it's just you, you miss so much connection.
[01:11:10]  and you miss solutions everywhere.
[01:11:13]  I mean, I hid my alcoholism as most alcoholics do forever.
[01:11:16]  And when I came out and said publicly, I'm an alcoholic, I really thought it would be a shameful thing.
[01:11:24]  And the opposite happened.
[01:11:26]  People started to connect with me and saying, hey, I've got this problem.
[01:11:30]  I did these things and I'm really struggling with this.
[01:11:33]  And you start to find strength in that.
[01:11:37]  And I think that's why we are discouraged from talking about these things, because we would find strength in the things that we believe.
[01:11:45]  We would find new understandings if we were just open and talking about them.
[01:11:52]  Absolutely.
[01:11:53]  And, you know, I've always loved how you've shared your journey, you know, publicly in that way because it helps so many people.
[01:11:58]  And I think that's the same thing here because, I mean, think about this.
[01:12:01]  There are people, and I can talk about some of the other things that really shocked me.
[01:12:05]  I mean, the biggest thing is that there's a lot of evidence for angels and demons and obviously miracles.
[01:12:10]  And if people want to check this out, they can go to cbn.comslash supernatural.
[01:12:15]  But I'll tell you, you know, I went into all these stories thinking I'm going to uncover something that will tell me it's not true.
[01:12:20]  There's got to be some other explanation, not because I don't believe in angels and demons.
[01:12:24]  I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible.
[01:12:26]  But.
[01:12:26]  You know, look, we can make claims all day long that we've had interactions with angels or demons or that we've been afflicted.
[01:12:32]  I want evidence.
[01:12:33]  And so I was shocked by the staggering amount of evidence that is there.
[01:12:36]  But to your point, and we can dig into some of that, you know, I think that there's a real force that pushes us not to talk about it because here's the other thing there's, because of that evidence, it almost becomes apologetics.
[01:12:48]  It almost becomes this tool.
[01:12:50]  If you can prove that God is still moving, that miracles happen, that angels and demons are active, then that means there's a God.
[01:12:58]  And that was shocking to me because I had never thought of these topics as being something that could close that loop and actually help bring people to faith.
[01:13:07]  And one quick thing, and you know this story, I'm not going to name the people because people got very upset about it, but there was a prominent politician's son who was having a conversation with an apologist.
[01:13:18]  And they're on the phone, and this guy's 19 years old, and the apologist is trying to get him to believe in Christianity.
[01:13:24]  And he was throwing everything at this kid, right?
[01:13:26]  Like, hey, this is the evidence for God.
[01:13:28]  And none of it was really working until.
[01:13:30]  He said to this kid, Hey, did you know that there are Muslims in the Middle East who wake up after having dreams of Jesus?
[01:13:37]  He appears to them and they become Christians.
[01:13:39]  And like a light bulb went off for this kid.
[01:13:41]  And I realized when I heard that story, for young people right now, this evidence, actually, this supernatural evidence is the thing that could bring them over the line into faith because they've been so lied to for so long, so forced into this weird secular worldview that when you see something crazy that has evidence, it brings you into the faith.
[01:14:01]  I have to tell you, I think people feel it.
[01:14:04]  At least I feel it more universally than I've ever felt it before.
[01:14:09]  And I was just in Washington.
[01:14:11]  I was speaking to a big group of people in Washington.
[01:14:14]  You don't usually lead with God.
[01:14:18]  And somebody asked me about Glenn, how are so many of our friends, so many people now on this path of such darkness, of, you know, of, And that's different than disagreeing with Israel.
[01:14:36]  But it's gotten some really dark.
[01:14:38]  And I said, I'm going to say something.
[01:14:40]  Maybe it's unpopular, but I'm going to tell you.
[01:14:42]  I think God showed up after Charlie was killed and he used that.
[01:14:48]  And we saw miracles all over the world, people finding God and going to church for the first time and everything else.
[01:14:55]  And for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
[01:14:59]  And I said, I think what the darkness and the fog that people are in right now is.
[01:15:04]  Evil, it's from Satan, and it's we're watching good and evil angels and demons duke it out all around us right now.
[01:15:14]  And we're just feeling the after effects that battle is happening all around us right now.
[01:15:22]  And if we're not aware of it, we could end up being on the wrong side really quickly.
[01:15:28]  What do you think?
[01:15:29]  Wow, I love what you just said.
[01:15:32]  So, these projects investigating the supernatural, angels and demons in particular.
[01:15:36]  Has totally transformed my faith and the way I see things because what you just said, it's Ephesians 6.
[01:15:41]  And for those who don't know that, if you don't know the Bible, you don't know that, Ephesians 6, the Apostle Paul is talking about how we all think that we're in a battle between each other.
[01:15:50]  It's Democrats versus Republicans, it's me versus you, everybody's fighting and it's a flesh battle, right?
[01:15:55]  We assume that's what's going on, but what's actually happening, and that doesn't mean we shouldn't get engaged in those arguments and have meaningful discussion.
[01:16:02]  That's not the point.
[01:16:03]  What's really happening is that there's a spiritual battle, good versus evil.
[01:16:07]  We can't see it with our human eyes, but it's pouring over into the world in which we are living.
[01:16:11]  And so when you see Charlie get assassinated, when you see these horrific things happen, even atheists will turn on their TV and say, that was evil.
[01:16:19]  And so the question is well, where does that evil come from, right?
[01:16:22]  We know that what Ephesians 6 says is that that battle is going to impact us.
[01:16:26]  And so I actually don't think, and I was pretty convicted of this after working on this film, that we can really understand fully what is happening in the world around us and in our individual lives if we don't understand.
[01:16:38]  That battle.
[01:16:39]  And I will tell you because back in 2012 when I started working for you at the Blaze and you would talk about all these things, I mean, you were ahead of everybody on a lot of these issues that we're experiencing right now.
[01:16:50]  I wasn't fully understanding what this battle meant, and I get it now.
[01:16:54]  And I think we've got to hone in on that because if we have any hope of navigating and not ending up, because right now you and I both know there are people who are falling on the wrong side of a lot of these things.
[01:17:05]  And I'm not going to name them, but they're out there and they're impacting a lot of people right now.
[01:17:10]  And so we need to make sure people understand this.
[01:17:12]  And this film really is a quest to do that, not just in our, again, in our individual lives because evil can affect us, but also in our politics and in our culture.
[01:17:23]  So tell me, by the way, you can find the film at cbn.comslash supernatural.
[01:17:30]  Billy, tell me how aliens are fitting into this.
[01:17:38]  I mean, here's the thing.
[01:17:40]  You know how this is.
[01:17:40]  You're working on a film, and this is well over a year ago.
[01:17:43]  We're having these conversations.
[01:17:45]  We're talking about angels and demons.
[01:17:46]  What are we going to do about aliens?
[01:17:48]  Because this is a big, at the time, obviously disclosure was becoming a big conversation.
[01:17:52]  I had no idea we'd released this film in the middle of this massive conversation about aliens.
[01:17:58]  What is happening right now?
[01:17:59]  And look, there's a debate, and I'm not going to tell people what to think.
[01:18:01]  There are people, even in Christian circles, and this film is for everybody, not just Christians, but who believe that aliens are very real and that they exist and that God created them.
[01:18:10]  But there are also people like Hugh Ross, as you know, who would take a different view on this.
[01:18:16]  They would take the view that it's not that people aren't seeing or experiencing aliens and UFOs, it's that the nature of what they are might not be what we think.
[01:18:26]  And Hugh's position, and Hugh's in the film, obviously, as you saw in the clip you shared.
[01:18:30]  Is that these are actually interdimensional demonic entities that are appearing to people.
[01:18:35]  And he has a whole slew of thoughts about why that is the case.
[01:18:39]  And I will tell you, they're compelling.
[01:18:41]  Not everybody agrees with them.
[01:18:43]  They are compelling.
[01:18:44]  But here's the deal on the alien thing.
[01:18:46]  About 10 years ago, a lot of us would have laughed at this, right?
[01:18:49]  The fact that we would even be talking about it or having presidents and former presidents talk about it, we would think that was semi ridiculous.
[01:18:55]  And yet here we are.
[01:18:56]  And I would encourage people not to laugh this off because a lot of Christians on the issue of evil.
[01:19:03]  Have done a very bad job of addressing it because it feels weird, so we don't want to talk about it.
[01:19:08]  And we've allowed secular culture to talk about evil more than churches are.
[01:19:12]  That's why every Halloween you've got The Conjuring and all these movies coming out.
[01:19:16]  Hollywood's owning this issue.
[01:19:18]  We don't want the same thing to happen with aliens because this is not going away.
[01:19:22]  People are going to want answers.
[01:19:24]  And just like you said, it feels like something big is about to drop.
[01:19:27]  And so, what is your response going to be to that?
[01:19:30]  And so the film dives into that.
[01:19:33]  From a perspective, it's obviously Hugh giving his perspective, but I would encourage people to figure out what you think on this issue because it's not going anywhere.
[01:19:42]  Hey, Billy, can I have you on again next week?
[01:19:45]  I want to have you on just about the alien thing because I have some thoughts on this and I would like to explore it with you a bit.
[01:19:53]  Absolutely.
[01:19:53]  Billy Halliwell, again, the film, the documentary is investigating the supernatural miracles, and you can find it at cbn.comsupernatural.
[01:20:08]  Billy has been a longtime friend and co-worker, and I have an awful lot of respect for him, and I'm glad to have you on.
[01:20:15]  We'll talk to you again.
[01:20:16]  Hopefully I can squeeze you back in next week, because I think you're right about exploring the supernatural and aliens.
[01:20:26]  I don't know what is coming, but I've never seen anything like this in my life before.
[01:20:31]  And just a few years ago, we would all say, well, that's crazy.
[01:20:35]  Well, I think we've seen a lot of crazy stuff happen.
[01:20:39]  And we're going to see more.
[01:20:40]  I think we're going to get a lot more.
[01:20:43]  We are.
[01:20:43]  We're going to see crazy, crazy things in our lifetime.
[01:20:46]  Billy, thank you so much.
[01:20:47]  We'll talk next week.
[01:20:49]  Thank you.
[01:20:49]  Appreciate it.
[01:20:50]  You bet.
[01:20:51]  Okay.
[01:20:51]  Let me tell you about the Burn a Launcher.
[01:20:53]  You know, you think it's never going to happen to you, but one day it does.
[01:20:57]  All of those times in the movies, seeing somebody get mugged, nothing to prepare you for experiencing it in real life.
[01:21:04]  Because in real life, it's faster, it's closer, it's a lot more confusing than you expect it to be, and it is also terrifying, it's scarier than you imagined.

=== Indigenous Alien Encounters (03:52) ===

[01:21:14]  There's no scary music building up to it.
[01:21:16]  So, you don't have a soundtrack in your life.
[01:21:18]  You don't get a warning.
[01:21:19]  You don't get a second to think through all of your options.
[01:21:21]  That moment, whatever you have with you is what you have with you.
[01:21:26]  The Burn a Launcher matters.
[01:21:27]  It gives you a non lethal way to respond using kinetic and pepper projectiles that can stop a threat from up to 60 feet away.
[01:21:35]  It allows you to create distance and get yourself out of a bad situation.
[01:21:39]  And it's legal in all 50 states.
[01:21:42]  This is the thing that is so important.
[01:21:44]  My kids have them.
[01:21:46]  I just bought some for my nieces.
[01:21:48]  So they all carry it because we've had some scary things happen in the family recently.
[01:21:53]  And I want to make sure all of them are prepared wherever they are.
[01:21:57]  It's legal.
[01:21:57]  You're over 18, you can carry a Berna launcher.
[01:22:00]  Buy one at Sportsman's Warehouse located near you.
[01:22:03]  You can see them actually and demonstrate one there.
[01:22:06]  Or you can just go online, find out all about them, and get one online at berna.comslash Glenn.
[01:22:13]  That's berna.comslash Glenn.
[01:22:17]  Glenn Beck is back after this.
[01:22:39]  You know, a lot of people don't think that aliens have ever landed or ever been here, and I would like to testify that aliens have landed, and they've landed in Canada.
[01:22:51]  Here's proof positive.
[01:22:53]  When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Kearney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations.
[01:23:06]  They provided zero dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA.
[01:23:14]  Plus, this is abhorrent.
[01:23:16]  This is callous.
[01:23:18]  This is callous because the very liberal government that has stripped organizations of life sustaining funding has now promised, committed 13 billion dollars, 13 billion dollars on military spending.
[01:23:36]  Who is paying for it?
[01:23:38]  Indigenous women across this country.
[01:23:41]  Exactly right.
[01:23:42]  It's exactly right.
[01:23:43]  And we're harvesting their eggs as well.
[01:23:47]  So I don't mean to take light of that.
[01:23:49]  I mean, I just want to just again reiterate the aliens are already here.
[01:23:58]  They're in Canada, and they apparently have been there for quite some time.
[01:25:05]  Hello, America.

[01:26:20]  Yes, honey.

[01:27:09]  Well, hello, Bridget.
[01:27:11]  Hello, my friend.
[01:27:12]  So good to see you.
[01:27:13]  How are you?
[01:27:14]  That's good.
[01:27:15]  I'm so great.
[01:27:16]  Yeah, it's been a minute.
[01:27:18]  I'm great.
[01:27:19]  I know.
[01:27:20]  It's been too long.
[01:27:22]  You have gone through one of the greatest, I don't know, I don't want to say transformations because you were great even when you were a hussy slut.
[01:27:34]  You were great.
[01:27:36]  But to watch you, it's like metamorphosis.
[01:27:39]  I mean, you've just become just such a well rounded, really cool person.
[01:27:47]  Thank you.
[01:27:47]  My husband was just standing here listening.
[01:27:49]  He's like, don't you talk about my wife that way.
[01:27:56]  I have a husband now.
[01:27:57]  He defends my honor.
[01:27:59]  I know.
[01:28:00]  Yeah.
[01:28:00]  I know.
[01:28:00]  And a daughter.
[01:28:01]  Yeah, it's crazy.
[01:28:03]  Yeah.
[01:28:04]  And you, I mean, you're sitting on a set with aprons behind you.
[01:28:12]  That's not you five years ago.
[01:28:15]  I did always love to cook, but yes, I have become quite domesticated.
[01:28:19]  I was always weirdly more domestic than people would expect me to be for being a hussy slut.
[01:28:25]  So people would be like, you can cook, but I always loved cooking.
[01:28:29]  But now I'm baking, which I feel like is domestic, a different level.
[01:28:34]  No, now you're June Cleaver.
[01:28:38]  What was, first of all, before we get into your latest article, for people who don't know, what was the big change?
[01:28:45]  Because you were, I mean, you were on the left.
[01:28:47]  Did you ever hate me?
[01:28:50]  I don't feel like I think I just thought you were silly.
[01:28:54]  I don't think I ever hated you.
[01:28:56]  I remember, I'm sure that Jon Stewart covered you and made fun of you.
[01:29:01]  So I think that I probably just laughed at you.
[01:29:04]  I don't, even in this crazy media, I don't have very much hatred in my heart in general.
[01:29:13]  So I think that I generally tend to lean on mockery as my way of coping.
[01:29:22]  And I also think that.
[01:29:24]  I don't.
[01:29:25]  It's very hard not to.
[01:29:26]  It's very hard to hate somebody that you don't know.
[01:29:29]  Although we all probably do this now with algorithms and being online.
[01:29:34]  But I don't.
[01:29:35]  I generally try not to.
[01:29:37]  And honestly, I think being in recovery, as I'm very open about, I always have to go back.
[01:29:45]  It's, you know, there's this expression put down the microscope and pick up the mirror.
[01:29:53]  And, So, whenever I'm hyper focusing on someone or hating somebody, it's like, what is this saying about me?
[01:30:02]  Yeah.
[01:30:03]  You know, it's amazing.
[01:30:05]  I was giving a speech last night in DC and somebody brought up, you know, all the stuff that's happening with podcasters.
[01:30:12]  And I said, I am not going to, I'll comment on facts, but I'm not going to talk about personalities.
[01:30:20]  All I say on this is, I am so tired.
[01:30:22]  And I think the American people are too.
[01:30:24]  I am so tired of getting a list from somebody.
[01:30:29]  It's seemingly every day of who I have to hate now, who I have to declare is my mortal enemy.
[01:30:37]  Because if I'm not, I'm a traitor to somebody.
[01:30:40]  And it's like, I can't take any more of it.
[01:30:42]  It's just so stupid.
[01:30:44]  Is something going on in podcasting, Glenn?
[01:30:51]  I don't know.
[01:30:53]  I don't know.
[01:30:54]  I don't either.
[01:30:55]  I haven't noticed anything strange going on.
[01:30:58]  Yeah.
[01:30:59]  Or the president mentioning anything like that yesterday.
[01:31:02]  Wow.
[01:31:03]  Oh, do you know how angry it makes me being a comedian?
[01:31:06]  Just to reference, since you referenced this, everybody who's listening, it's the true social post where you went on a tirade against podcasters.
[01:31:17]  And I'm telling you, it's unfair that he's the funniest president we'll ever have.
[01:31:25]  Do you know how hard it is to be a comedian and know you're never going to write anything that funny?
[01:31:29]  It is.
[01:31:30]  I mean, he might be the funniest person on earth.
[01:31:35]  He is.
[01:31:36]  If you miss his sense of humor, you've missed a great time.
[01:31:43]  If you think he's serious about everything, you've missed a great time.
[01:31:46]  I think he has the best comedic timing of any non comedian I've ever seen.
[01:31:53]  I mean, he's brilliantly funny.
[01:31:57]  And it's something that I missed.
[01:31:59]  So, this is again something where I have to ask myself what has changed in me because when I've been thinking a lot about this, in fact, I probably should write about it.
[01:32:10]  But when I first came on the scene as a politician, I could not handle the sound of his voice, I just couldn't listen to it.
[01:32:19]  And slowly over the years, I realized I was missing.
[01:32:25]  A lot of hilarity that people saw that I didn't see.
[01:32:30]  And now he just kind of makes me laugh.
[01:32:33]  You know, he'll make you roll your eyes and go, oh, geez, you're going to say that?
[01:32:37]  All right.
[01:32:38]  But I don't know.
[01:32:39]  We've been dealing with this guy for 10 years.
[01:32:43]  I know.
[01:32:43]  You know, Ronald Reagan, when I was a kid, Ronald Reagan was president and he would make you laugh like, ha ha, that's funny.
[01:32:51]  Donald Trump can make you belly laugh.
[01:32:54]  I mean, absolutely belly laugh.
[01:32:56]  It is so funny.
[01:32:57]  So funny.
[01:32:58]  I was reading that post in the green room, dying laughing.
[01:33:02]  It was like, oh, yeah.
[01:33:03]  And we were just, how can this be?
[01:33:07]  I must be in a simulation.
[01:33:13]  You wrote an article, and this is what I wanted to talk to you about.
[01:33:15]  You wrote an article.
[01:33:16]  I don't care if young people like me, and you shouldn't either.
[01:33:20]  Can you take us through this?
[01:33:23]  Yes.
[01:33:24]  I mean, to your point, it was a little bit of me looking around at podcasting and podcasters and seeing this kind of trend of chasing what I see as younger opinions.
[01:33:39]  Now, I understand this.
[01:33:40]  Your livelihood depends on views, and it is an attention economy.
[01:33:45]  And the older people are going to age out.
[01:33:49]  And there's a giant number of young people who are radicalized by these algorithms.
[01:33:56]  And It's easy to understand why this would happen, but it also came across as that meme where it was like, How do you do, fellow kids?
[01:34:06]  You know, these older hosts where they're like, Look how based and cool I am.
[01:34:13]  Like, see, I'm saying those crazy things that kids are all about.
[01:34:17]  And I don't know, it just came across as embarrassing to me.
[01:34:23]  And I realize it is very Gen X of me to say, I don't care.
[01:34:27]  But it did feel, and saying, you know, like, get off, it's a very almost older, like, get off my lawn.
[01:34:35]  Yeah.
[01:34:35]  It does.
[01:34:36]  I get why people reacted strongly to it, and they're going to tell me that I'm going to be irrelevant.
[01:34:42]  And, you know, they make comparisons to how number, listen.
[01:34:47]  But I also hate this idea that popularity equals right.
[01:34:53]  There have been a lot of people historically who have been extremely popular.
[01:34:59]  Who have also been literal murderers.
[01:35:06]  A lot of things that have been very popular were not good or right.
[01:35:12]  So, this idea that, oh, I'm popular and that means I'm right is such a very strange idea.
[01:35:22]  I understand it from if you're young, I can understand that.
[01:35:25]  But from somebody who's older, it seems like you should know better.
[01:35:31]  But you know what, Bridget, I think you're an alcoholic.
[01:35:35]  I'm an alcoholic.
[01:35:36]  We're recovering, both of us.
[01:35:38]  And that puts you in a different place.
[01:35:40]  I'm not sure if I hadn't have gone through the hell that I went through in my 30s that I would have the same perspective that I have now.
[01:35:48]  I know what's important and what's not.
[01:35:50]  And this business really screws with your head.
[01:35:55]  Oh, yeah.
[01:35:56]  And, you know, especially if you've ever been at the top where some of these podcasters, you know, when they were in TV, they were at the very top.
[01:36:05]  Leaving that alone screws with your head.
[01:36:09]  And then going into the world of podcasting, that screws with your head again.
[01:36:13]  And then if you do well and then you start to see things slip or you notice that things are changing.
[01:36:18]  If you really don't, if you don't know exactly who you are and you're not willing to go, I don't really care if anybody listens, I could leave tomorrow and I'd be fine.
[01:36:32]  I don't know if you can make it.
[01:36:35]  Yeah.
[01:36:35]  Do you see any validity to that?
[01:36:37]  Oh, totally.
[01:36:38]  I mean, it goes back to a couple of things that you said.
[01:36:41]  I really do try and ground myself in those recovery principles all the time, one of which is principles before personalities.
[01:36:49]  So, like you, I try not to get bogged down in too much of the personal mudslinging.
[01:36:55]  I have friends and family members on all sides of the aisles.
[01:36:58]  I see that.
[01:36:59]  I see the same thing in media.
[01:37:01]  And I actually think it should be that way.
[01:37:04]  It's healthy to be able to have conversations with people who disagree with you.
[01:37:08]  And I do think turning everything as James Lindsay is always talking about, this friend enemy distinction makes it very easy to kind of divide and conquer people.
[01:37:20]  And we have outside forces who are influencing this from other countries.
[01:37:24]  Now, there's also a lot of truth in the idea that, and this was really embedded in this piece, I've never peaked.
[01:37:34]  So I have literally built what I made.
[01:37:39]  Like, truly, I'm still an independent creator.
[01:37:42]  I've never had a machine behind me.
[01:37:44]  I've never had Silicon Valley money.
[01:37:47]  I've never had a network.
[01:37:49]  I can't imagine what it would be like to be Jon Stewart or to be you, even somebody who is on Fox.
[01:37:56]  Listen to that.
[01:37:57]  Listen to the way she said that.
[01:37:58]  Jon Stewart or you, even me.
[01:38:04]  No, but you, like your intro to this show, which is new, I believe, reminded me there was a time when you were on.
[01:38:14]  All these magazine covers, and that's got to be crazy.
[01:38:17]  I've never experienced that.
[01:38:20]  And then to have that, it's like being it's it reminds me a little bit of being a woman, and then you kind of enter into a later time in your life, and you're like, Oh, that was my peak, I'm on the other side of it now.
[01:38:36]  How do I how do I grapple with this?
[01:38:38]  And this is something that all women kind of have to grapple with is all right, I'm not everybody has to, you know, everybody has to.
[01:38:47]  Ronald Reagan said.
[01:38:48]  Ronald Reagan said, There is everybody has a time.
[01:38:53]  And if you don't change, if you know who you are and you stay rooted in your principles, it's like there's this you're just sliding along a timeline, and all of a sudden your time comes and you just slot in.
[01:39:09]  And then that time passes and you just pop back out, and somebody else is popping back in.
[01:39:14]  Yeah.
[01:39:16]  You just have to know who you are and stay the same the whole time and just know.
[01:39:21]  That was my time.
[01:39:22]  It's not my time now.
[01:39:22]  And, you know, whatever, whatever.
[01:39:25]  It hasn't changed me or diminished me.
[01:39:29]  That's just my time was then.

=== Women Grappling With Issues (07:23) ===

[01:39:31]  Yeah.
[01:39:31]  Or now.
[01:39:32]  And I'm coming, whatever.
[01:39:34]  And I think, too, that is something, I guess, one of the things that happened to me when you asked me what happened to you, Bridget, over the past 10 years.
[01:39:45]  And a lot of people will say that in a negative way.
[01:39:47]  So some of it has nothing to do with me.
[01:39:49]  Like a lot of people will say, what happened to you?
[01:39:52]  And it's like a good thing.
[01:39:54]  The thing I hear the most from people, probably more than anything, is what happened to you in a negative way.
[01:39:59]  But one of the things that did happen to me is that I didn't really know what my values were.
[01:40:06]  I remember Ben Shapiro saying very early when I came into the space and he was talking about values and Jordan Peterson, and I was like, Values?
[01:40:16]  What are those?
[01:40:17]  You know, what a strange concept.
[01:40:22]  And it put me back into this kind of first principle thinking.
[01:40:27]  I didn't even really know or remember what that was.
[01:40:31]  I had strayed so far from.
[01:40:33]  Even contemplating or thinking about any of those things and addiction and just hustling to try and survive as a waitress and make ends meet, I didn't.
[01:40:45]  I didn't have the more I was in this space, the more I said, What are the hills I will die on?
[01:40:52]  What do I believe?
[01:40:53]  What is great about this country, America, that we should all be celebrating right now?
[01:41:00]  It's our 250th birthday.
[01:41:02]  It is a miracle, a miracle that this.
[01:41:06]  Experiment exists.
[01:41:07]  I having and having a kid really, really activated that in me in ways that I didn't have before because I want things to be better for her.
[01:41:18]  I want to pass this down.
[01:41:20]  I don't want it to all go away because we were idiots, you know, and didn't and took things for granted.
[01:41:26]  And we're basically like trust fund babies of literate of liberty.
[01:41:31]  And that's really what we are.
[01:41:33]  We're just trust fund kids of.
[01:41:36]  Liberty and freedom that people have died for whining on podcasts, and I want to build stuff.
[01:41:45]  America, if you haven't heard Bridget before, now you know why I just love her.
[01:41:51]  You're the best.
[01:41:53]  We've got to get together, get our families together.
[01:41:56]  I would love that anytime.
[01:41:58]  Yeah.
[01:41:58]  Okay.
[01:41:59]  Thanks so much.
[01:41:59]  God bless.
[01:42:00]  Thank you for having me.
[01:42:01]  You bet.

[01:43:35]  Listen to this.
[01:43:37]  The piece of advice I'd give to you, and I give it to American students, American conservatives in particular, is resist the temptation to think that victory is immediate or that we're going to win back our civilization through instant gratification.
[01:43:53]  I mean, this institution was founded in 1996, it's far more influential than it was back then.
[01:44:00]  I think a lot of people, this is particularly true in the United States of America, if they see something that the administration does they don't like, they say, oh, that's not what we voted for.
[01:44:08]  We're going to check out of politics.
[01:44:09]  No, no, no, no.
[01:44:11]  That's the exact wrong response.
[01:44:13]  If we do something you don't like, the response should be to get more involved, to make your voice heard, and to try to push things in the direction that you want them to be pushed.
[01:44:22]  Our civilization was not built overnight.
[01:44:25]  It's not going to be saved overnight.
[01:44:26]  And so what I'd encourage you to do is stay involved.
[01:44:30]  Be patient and don't let disappointment turn to checking out of the system entirely.
[01:44:35]  There's way too much of that, I would say, in the Anglo system and the American system.
[01:44:39]  There's way too much, you know, I didn't like this thing that the vice president said, or I didn't like this thing that the president did, and I'm going to completely check out.
[01:44:47]  We call that blackpilling in the United States of America.
[01:44:50]  And blackpilling is how you give power to the forces that are trying to destroy what our ancestors built.
[01:44:57]  We need to take power back from those people and build the kind of institutions that can actually save our societies.
[01:45:04]  It will not happen overnight.
[01:45:06]  It will not happen in the term of one prime minister or one president, but it will happen so long as we keep our faith in God and we work hard to achieve it.
[01:45:15]  That's what we have to do.
[01:45:16]  100% agree with him on that.
[01:45:20]  100% agree.
[01:45:22]  On Monday, I'm going to take you through a scenario because I think there's some black pilling going on.
[01:45:27]  There's a lot on Iran.
[01:45:28]  And let's just say Iran works out horribly.
[01:45:33]  Could I give you a white pill on it working out horribly?
[01:45:37]  How do we make lemons out of lemonade?
[01:45:40]  Just a way to open your mind in different ways.
[01:45:44]  That'll be on Monday's program.

[01:47:23]  Hey, before I leave, I want to share a letter from a friend of mine.
[01:47:28]  He happened to get to know Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon, before he died.
[01:47:35]  And his children were young.
[01:47:36]  And he said, Neil, would you write a letter to my children and tell your story, but tell them what is important in life?
[01:47:47]  What's really important?
[01:47:48]  If you want to be successful, however you would define that, Neil, Should they know what they should do?
[01:47:55]  It's an amazing letter, it's not a public letter, and I want to share that here in just a few minutes.
[01:48:01]  But I also want to bring on Riley Moore right now, he is a representative from West Virginia.
[01:48:06]  He is introducing the Deport Act.
[01:48:09]  I have several things I want to talk to him about from Congress, but let me start with the Deport Act.
[01:48:16]  This, Riley, if I have this right, this would let the U.S. denaturalize and deport naturalized citizens who commit.
[01:48:25]  Plot, join, or aid terrorism.
[01:48:29]  I can't believe this isn't already part of law, but I don't know who this would affect.
[01:48:35]  Do you have people that we've been trying to get out that are naturalized citizens?
[01:48:43]  What was the motivation to do this now?
[01:48:47]  Yeah, hey, Glenn, great to be back on with you.
[01:48:49]  And you kind of nailed it in the I can't believe that this isn't already a law.
[01:48:55]  So, probably the best example that we have recently, and I'll start from the one that's probably most notable, is that Mohammed Jalo, who was the shooter down at Old Dominion University, he had previously been arrested for providing material support to ISIS.
[01:49:15]  He went to jail.
[01:49:17]  He was let out of jail.
[01:49:19]  We could not deport him because he was a naturalized citizen.
[01:49:24]  And so, after providing material support to ISIS, getting out of jail goes and does this mass shooting down at Old Dominion University.
[01:49:33]  Then we had the Senegalese gentleman.
[01:49:36]  You might remember he's wearing this shirt Property of Allah, another naturalized citizen, killing three, wounding 14.
[01:49:43]  Lebanese gentleman who rammed a truck.
[01:49:47]  Into a synagogue in Michigan, another naturalized citizen that we have.
[01:49:53]  We can't denaturalize and deport these individuals.
[01:49:56]  And sometimes when it's just like provide material support, they might do 10 years, they could do 12 years, whatever it is, get back out on the street and commit more terrorist acts.
[01:50:07]  Like, why would we allow these people to stay here?
[01:50:12]  They clearly are a danger to the public.
[01:50:16]  And at the end of the day, Part of this bill is just changing something very simple, and that is when they take that oath, when they swear allegiance to this country, is that they have to swear that they will not join a terrorist organization, provide material support, plot or commit a terrorist act, or aid to bed a terrorist organization against American people.
[01:50:39]  Currently, when you take that oath, you do have, and this is a holdover from the Cold War era that just happens to be very relevant today, is that you have to swear you're not part of a communist organization.
[01:50:49]  Party.
[01:50:50]  Not sure how Mandami got through that one, but that's another conversation.
[01:50:57]  But adding that in this, and then if you violate that within your oath, then you can be denaturalized and deported.
[01:51:05]  And we've had the FBI director, Kash Patel, point this out and actually exchange some messages on it.
[01:51:12]  And because I was asking the question, why can't we just get these people out of here?
[01:51:15]  He's like, I can't.
[01:51:17]  We can't.
[01:51:17]  There's nothing to charge them on.
[01:51:19]  We can't denaturalize them.
[01:51:20]  We can't deport them.
[01:51:21]  And so to me, this is just correcting something that's Very obvious that should have been there a long time ago.
[01:51:28]  Is it going to pass?
[01:51:31]  I think we can pass it in the House.
[01:51:33]  If you're asking me what the Senate's going to do, I've been really bad at predicting that lately.
[01:51:37]  So that is another thing.
[01:51:42]  I'd love to get your opinion on this because you came from West Virginia.
[01:51:49]  You were the treasurer there.
[01:51:50]  You killed it in West Virginia.
[01:51:52]  And then you decided, I think I want to go to Congress.
[01:51:55]  Not that you wanted to, but you felt compelled to go to Congress.
[01:51:58]  Now that you've been there for a while, maybe you can help me.
[01:52:00]  I was speaking to a group in Washington, D.C. last night.
[01:52:03]  I'd give a speech.
[01:52:04]  And took some questions afterwards, and somebody said, How is it that you can't get something to go through the Senate that is 80% popular with all people in America, left, right, Democrat, Republican?
[01:52:18]  What is wrong with these politicians?
[01:52:20]  And I didn't give a popular answer.
[01:52:24]  I said, I don't know.
[01:52:25]  I can't think of anything other than they are just so entrenched in their own power and they just have some, they're getting something for not doing it, but I don't know what it is.
[01:52:36]  Do you have any insight on how?
[01:52:39]  Our Republican Party can be so out of step on some of these things?
[01:52:45]  Well, a couple of things, because I've actually thought about this a lot, particularly coming from the state level where you were able to do so much and a lot of frustration, obviously, on the congressional side.
[01:52:57]  I think, to a sense, it's a cultural thing.
[01:53:01]  And what I mean by that is educationally, almost all of these folks, except for me and some others, are lawyers.
[01:53:11]  When they go through law school, they are taught to hedge on risk, to try to avoid risk.
[01:53:20]  That's literally, they are educated and taught to avoid risk.
[01:53:25]  And I think this is so that's kind of their default position, right?
[01:53:31]  They're going to look at this like a lawyer would.
[01:53:33]  Well, what are the potential risks in this?
[01:53:35]  And of course, there's risks in legislating anything, which then means you do nothing, which is kind of the current state of affairs, isn't it?
[01:53:44]  Wow.
[01:53:45]  That is great insight.
[01:53:48]  I've thought a lot about this.
[01:53:50]  And, you know, you and I talked about running before I ran, and, you know, I've prayed on it a lot, felt like I needed to do this.
[01:53:59]  And I've reflected on it over the last year.
[01:54:02]  Why is it like this?
[01:54:03]  And that's what I've come up with is that, you know, there's a lot of lawyering going around, there's not a lot of kind of citizen statesman type stuff happening.
[01:54:15]  Let me switch gears here.
[01:54:16]  White House spokesman said Tuesday, administration could not fulfill its original goal of withholding Title X family planning grants for the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, due to significant legal challenges.
[01:54:29]  Five year grant Biden issued in 2021.
[01:54:33]  Why can't we withhold these funds?
[01:54:35]  What are the challenges?
[01:54:36]  Do you know?
[01:54:37]  Well, here's my view.
[01:54:39]  And sometimes, you know, and this is people are probably going to be more reflexive in their response to this.
[01:54:47]  Sometimes I think we got to think a little more like Democrats do.
[01:54:50]  And that's why don't we just do it and we'll see you in court?
[01:54:54]  How about that?
[01:54:55]  We'll let the court figure it out and then we can just drag this thing.
[01:54:59]  They do that all the time.
[01:55:01]  All the time.
[01:55:02]  All the time.
[01:55:03]  You know, Biden just ignored the Supreme Court on the student loan repayment thing and was like, yeah, I'm going to do it anyway.
[01:55:09]  See you in court.
[01:55:10]  See if you can stop me.
[01:55:11]  The end of the day on the Planned Parenthood thing, we are talking about saving children's lives.
[01:55:17]  We're talking about saving lives.
[01:55:19]  From the murder machine over there at Planned Parenthood.
[01:55:22]  So, to me, look, I'm not a lawyer.
[01:55:25]  I don't know if it's constitutional or not.
[01:55:27]  Let's let a court figure that out.
[01:55:29]  I think we just go ahead with it.
[01:55:32]  I like that.
[01:55:33]  I like that.
[01:55:34]  Let me ask you about I don't know if you know Maria Salazar at all, but she has just introduced legislation called the Dignity Act, which is basically a mass amnesty initiative, or at least that's what people are saying it is.
[01:55:51]  What's your take on this?
[01:55:54]  Yeah, I don't disagree with that characterization.
[01:55:57]  I'm totally opposed to it.
[01:55:59]  This doesn't, this feels like it happens every time when we start dealing with the immigration issue.
[01:56:05]  It's okay, you know, border security plus amnesty.
[01:56:10]  It's like, no, I think we need to continue to secure our border.
[01:56:14]  We need to handle these things.
[01:56:16]  And now y'all are trying to bring this in because it's what are we going to do with like the moderates out there and this and that?
[01:56:23]  This isn't about winning elections, it's about winning the Future for the generations of Americans that are here currently.
[01:56:30]  We have to continue to push on enforcement.
[01:56:34]  Now, at some point, could the president or somebody say, let's take a look at trying to like reform some of this policy?
[01:56:42]  Okay, sure.
[01:56:43]  I'm open to that conversation, led by the president, by the way, because I trust him on these issues.
[01:56:50]  That bill will take individuals who are here illegally.
[01:56:55]  What they keep saying is if they've not committed a crime, And then we'll take a look at it.
[01:57:00]  It's like, well, they've committed a crime by coming here.
[01:57:03]  Like that happened, right?
[01:57:04]  So, this idea of like they haven't committed a crime, no, they have certainly committed a crime.
[01:57:08]  So, yeah, to me, I don't disagree with that characterization on that at all.
[01:57:13]  That's not why we're in a governing majority right now.
[01:57:17]  Nobody campaigned on that.
[01:57:18]  Maybe some of my colleagues did.
[01:57:20]  I certainly didn't.
[01:57:21]  I don't know too many people that did.
[01:57:23]  The president didn't.
[01:57:25]  And that's not why we've been put in charge of this.
[01:57:29]  I think we're always.
[01:57:30]  You know, go back to my point about lawyers like, well, you know, we got a little bit of risk here.
[01:57:34]  Maybe we'll try to, you know, bring this block of voters kind of into the coalition and this and that.
[01:57:40]  It's, you know, we got elected as conservative Republicans.
[01:57:44]  We need to govern that way.
[01:57:47]  I think that people are, they're hearing from their Hispanic base and the Hispanic base is freaked out because, you know, they think everybody is coming after them all the time.
[01:57:58]  And I think that is because of the way the media and the left has portrayed this, where we're going after the deep criminals.
[01:58:06]  We can't even get the deep.
[01:58:07]  Do you know how long it's going to take before we get to, you know, Maria and Mike from wherever they are in the world?
[01:58:15]  You know how long it's going to take if you're obeying the law and doing everything?
[01:58:18]  It's going to take a very long time.
[01:58:20]  We can't even get the people who are stabbing our friends and neighbors on the streets out of here.
[01:58:27]  But I think people are concerned and they're saying, we're going to lose that block.
[01:58:31]  Well, but you don't, you'll lose everything the minute you start violating your principles and compromising principles.
[01:58:41]  No, exactly right.
[01:58:42]  And I mean, you hit the nail on the head is that it is so hard to get the criminals, you know, I mean, look, we have cartel members here, we have murderers here, we have rapists.
[01:58:52]  Here.
[01:58:53]  Don't forget, 300,000 missing children that the Biden administration let in over the border, just let alone that one, which HSI is trying to work on.
[01:59:03]  There are all these things that we're trying to do to make America safe again, as the president said.
[01:59:11]  And of course, the left wing media has said they're going to come lock up the grandma.
[01:59:14]  They're coming and getting this person, that person.
[01:59:18]  We can't even get all the cartel guys out of here.
[01:59:20]  I know, I know, I know.
[01:59:21]  It's so ridiculous.
[01:59:23]  Riley Moore, congressman from West Virginia.
[01:59:25]  As always, good to talk to you, Riley.
[01:59:27]  Thank you so much for all your hard work on Capitol Hill.
[01:59:30]  All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.
[01:59:31]  It's Real Estate Agents I Trust.
[01:59:33]  Selling your house feels like one big decision.
[01:59:36]  You list it or you don't.
[01:59:37]  Take the offer or you don't.
[01:59:39]  But that's not how it really works.
[01:59:40]  It's actually a series of small decisions that happen one after another, and most of them don't look like much in the moment.
[01:59:46]  You price it.
[01:59:47]  How do you market it?
[01:59:48]  How do you respond when the offer comes in?
[01:59:50]  You know, it's close, but not quite right.
[01:59:52]  What do you do?
[01:59:52]  These are all decisions where things are won or lost.
[01:59:55]  You get them right, everything falls into place.
[01:59:57]  You get some of them or most of them wrong, or even slightly wrong, you leave money on the table or you watch your house sit longer than it should.
[02:00:04]  That's why I started Real EstateAgentsITrust.com.

=== Neil Armstrong Childhood (03:50) ===

[02:01:02]  So a friend of mine got to know Neil Armstrong before he died.
[02:01:09]  The first man, you know, you saw the movie that was filmed in Hollywood where they were pretending he was walking on the moon.
[02:01:16]  He was the first man to walk on the moon.
[02:01:19]  And he was very, very humble.
[02:01:22]  He was a really together kind of guy.
[02:01:26]  And so my friend said, Hey, would you write a note to my kids?
[02:01:32]  Tell your story a little bit.
[02:01:34]  What does it take to be successful?
[02:01:36]  So I want to read just some of it here because I don't think I have time to read all of it.
[02:01:41]  He said, it's such a pleasure to meet you on our recent visit.
[02:01:44]  My wife, Carol, and I were pleased to learn about your schoolwork, your interest in your activities.
[02:01:48]  My own childhood was somewhat different than yours.
[02:01:51]  I was born on a farm, lived in a small town.
[02:01:55]  We had a radio for news and entertainment, but television and computers had not been yet invented.
[02:02:01]  And then he talks about his school and then how the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and how that started him thinking differently.
[02:02:08]  He wanted to be an airplane designer.
[02:02:10]  And so he said, seventh grade, I had a job working in a cemetery, mowing grass and raking leaves.
[02:02:16]  I later worked in a bakery, a grocery store, and a hardware store.
[02:02:19]  And I saved my money so I could save for college.
[02:02:22]  He said, I took some of that money.
[02:02:23]  I started paying for flying lessons because I thought I should be a pilot if I was going to design airplanes.
[02:02:29]  And then he said, I lucked out and I got into Navy.
[02:02:32]  I became a pilot there.
[02:02:34]  I got a test flight job.
[02:02:37]  And then he gets to.
[02:02:39]  How Americans decided to compete with Russia, trying to be the first to send a human to the surface of the moon.
[02:02:45]  A very exciting idea, and I wanted to be part of that program.
[02:02:48]  The early American human space program flight efforts were composed of the Mercury program, Gemini program, Apollo.
[02:02:54]  I missed Mercury and was able to fly in both Gemini and Apollo.
[02:02:58]  It was difficult and exciting, but I enjoyed it.
[02:03:00]  At your age, I read about fantastic voyages to the moon in books by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, but they were fantasy.
[02:03:08]  I never thought that.
[02:03:10]  Even as a young adult, anyone could ever go to the moon.
[02:03:14]  Then he says, you have to prepare yourself so you can take advantages of the changes you cannot predict, and it's difficult.
[02:03:24]  It's probably best to learn a lot of different things.
[02:03:28]  But in my work, I depended on many people.
[02:03:31]  In spaceflight, whether it was fellow crewmen or a flight controller in mission control on Earth, I was trusting of that person with my life.
[02:03:39]  And when you depend on others, you want to be able to trust them.
[02:03:42]  You will want to know they say what they mean and mean what they say, and they will want to feel the same way about you.
[02:03:48]  Your word, above all things, should be beyond question.
[02:03:52]  There's much uncertainty to life.
[02:03:54]  Good health may be taken away from you without warning.
[02:03:57]  Material possessions may be lost.
[02:03:59]  But the one thing that cannot be taken from you without your consent is your character, which includes your beliefs, your ethics, and your principles.
[02:04:06]  Guard them with care.
[02:04:07]  They're your most valuable possession.
[02:04:10]  The 21st century has much promise.
[02:04:12]  Remarkable things are created and achieved soon.
[02:04:15]  and you will have the opportunity to play a role in achieving and creating a better world.
[02:04:19]  I know you will try.
[02:04:21]  Good luck.
[02:04:22]  I wish I had your future.

[02:04:27]  Pray for our brave astronauts as they splash down, God willing, tonight at 8.07.
