Starting point is 00:00:00 So a new report is out, came out Friday for TPSA and UVU, the place where Charlie Kirk was killed. And it's a internal document that shows what really happened that day. And there are going to be people give you all kinds of opinions on it. I have an opinion and it's all about the facts. And I share those with you on today's podcast. Plus broken families. There's this heartbreaking story in the Walls, Journal came out this weekend about 138 families every month have somebody say, you're not my
Starting point is 00:00:41 parent anymore. You're toxic. You're, you're dangerous to be around. I need a safe space or whatever it is. We talk about that and the reaction from the audience was pretty intense. We did a poll and more than half of us are facing these kinds of problems. And it's getting worse. This is 10 times worse than it was five years ago. Also, Justin Haskins joins us. He's got a new poll out, and it'll show you how much trouble we are actually in with the youth. Anybody under 30, the extreme views is shocking.
Starting point is 00:01:22 And we go into the war in Iraq. With questions like, do you want America to win or the Iranians to win? would you trade for cheap oil and gas, would you dismantle Israel and replace it with a Palestinian state for cheap oil and gas? What do you think the results are? It's terrifying. We have that and so much more on today's Best Up podcast. You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:02:09 We're glad you're here. This weekend we had, I don't know, about 100 people up to the house here at the Standing Rock Ranch. We had the first wedding here at the ranch. It was a family wedding and had a conversation with one of my nephews. We don't see the world the same. And I love him to death and he loves his uncle. And we were having a conversation, I said, just when we, finished hugging each other. I looked him in the eye and said,
Starting point is 00:02:42 just make me a promise, will you? That this will never stop. Our love will never stop because we disagree on politics because it's not worth it. And he said, Uncle Glenn, I promise you. I'm going to talk about those families that are struggling, including mine, from a story from the Wall Street Journal here coming up in just a minute. If you're struggling with your family because of politics, you are not alone. And I have to tell you, I have a hard time.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Well, we'll get into it in a minute. There was news that came out on Friday. Utah Valley University released the independent review of the day Charlie Kirk was killed on campus. Outside experts did more than 70 interviews, read thousands of pages, videos, dispatch logs, text messages, blah, blah, blah. It's all released. And within hour, everybody had a verdict. Everybody had something. I got to get on the air and I got to talk about this.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I gotta quick. I gotta get on my podcast. The family's lawyer blame the university, parts of the left, blame turning point. Podcaster said, the silence is the real story. Is it? Is that the real story? The silence?
Starting point is 00:03:52 Most of these people couldn't even finish page 10. They told us, you know, silence. Sometimes silence is the real story. Like my opinion on some of these podcasters, is, now I just told a story there, didn't I? My silence was the story. Not this time. You know, we're living in the so-called information age.
Starting point is 00:04:28 We're not living in the information age anymore. We were in the information age. Now we're in the opinion and outrage age. Opinion is the currency of the day. And it is so cheap to print. It is nobody ever runs out of opinions. My gosh. facts are what's scarce in today's world.
Starting point is 00:04:49 So let me not sell you aside here. Let me tell you the facts of what's in the report. In order. You decide what it means. You're smart enough to figure this out. So you decide. So in July of last year, a turning point field representative asked the campus club to request the outdoor courtyard.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Charlie had spoken at UVU before he knew the place. The police chief learned about the event. three weeks out. Okay. All right. That's probably a, you know, the planning form estimated 600 people didn't list any safety concerns so the police chief doesn't find out until three weeks out. That's a problem. That's a problem. University staff warned the courtyard would be hard to control. Point in their favor. Turning point wanted it anyway with its own ticketing. University went along. Probably shouldn't have done that. Reviewers said it should have kept those decisions for itself. Then there was no security assessment. No written plan. Nobody studied the rooftops. Two days before, Charlie's own security flagged
Starting point is 00:05:55 the walkway above the stage, the chief taped it off and posted two officers there. That morning, he texts Charlie's security supervisor, meet it 11. Well, they didn't meet. Why? The chief was clearing protesters off the walkway, then chasing students off a balcony outside the president's office. He was busy fixing the problems he could see. 13 sworn officers for the whole university. No screening. Bike racks for barriers.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Camera recording. Nobody watching. No ambulance. You know, the emergency manager was on vacation. And then at 1230, 1223, a shot came from the roof more than 400 feet away. So,
Starting point is 00:06:40 whose fault is it? Well, I read this thing. I can't find any, bad faith. I can't find any plot line here. No conspiracy. I didn't find a single Jew in the report. What I found were serious failures and failures on both sides of the table. You know what? This is one of those things like crap happens. Charlie's security leads, turning points field representatives. The student who invited him all declined to be interviewed. The family has filed no. The family has filed notice of a lawsuit. Lawsuits make people stop talking. That's what it is. That's not a confession. That's
Starting point is 00:07:33 the silence. It's a lawsuit and litigation. The silence speaks volumes. Yes, everybody's going to court, they've all got an attorney. That's not silent. It's just a blank space. And in the opinion age, somebody has to rush to fill in that silence. I can talk, I can talk, I can talk, listen to me. I can talk, look how many followers I can get. You know, this would make me feel awful if we hadn't been here before, but we have. Let me take it back to probably the biggest one, April 1912. Days before the most famous ship in the world left Southampton. The line shuffles its officers.
Starting point is 00:08:17 The second officer gets bumped. He walks off the ship down the gangway with a little key in his pocket. Little key. What was that little key? You probably never heard this story. Oh, this was a big scandal back then. he kept the key. It opened the locker that held the binoculars for the crow's nest.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Nobody noticed. Nobody thought it mattered. Okay? Four nights later, two lookouts standing in that nest. No moon, the sea so flat, nothing broke against the ice. They're watching with their bare eyes. They have no binoculars. Because he left with a key, he did it intentionally.
Starting point is 00:08:54 All day, other ships had warned of ice warnings. Titanic's radio men. Buried. Buried. Why weren't they watching the radio? Why weren't they getting those reports? Because they were buried in passenger telegrams. The job they were paid for.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Late that night, the nearest ship broke in one more time. Stop, surrounded by ice. Titanic's operator told him, shut up. We're busy. So the man shot off the set and went to bed. About 10 minutes later, the lookout rang the bell. Asked under oath, how much sooner would you have rung that bell if you had had your
Starting point is 00:09:30 glasses. He said, enough to get away. We wouldn't have hit the iceberg if I would have had the binocular. See, he took the key. He was probably a Jew. The ship that tried to warn them could see the distracts rockets. It never came. The only man who could have heard that
Starting point is 00:09:48 call was asleep. The lifeboats, Titanic carried more than the law required. But the law was written for smaller ships. Nobody updated it. A key in the wrong pocket, a radio man doing his job, a tired man going to bed, an old rule. There's no villains there.
Starting point is 00:10:08 More than 1,500 dead. There wasn't a conspiracy, although everybody tried to make it into a conspiracy at the time. You do the small job in front of you like the ship depends on it. And sometimes it does. For a hundred years, we've refused to believe it. It was the sister ship, swap for insurance. it was the banker who canceled his trip. They wanted to sink the rich men who stood in the way of the Federal Reserve.
Starting point is 00:10:43 The banker did counsel. The Richmond did die. The Fed did come the next year. Every dot is real. But the line between them is not. We want the plot. Why? Why do we want the plot?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Why do we insist on these conspiracy theories? Because it's comforting. Believe it or not, it's comforting. A plot means somebody is in charge. Catch him and it can't happen again. But the truth is harder. Nobody's driving sometimes. Sometimes they are.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Sometimes they're not. It's just ordinary people doing ordinary jobs, leaving a small hole, and that's how Charlie Kirk gets killed. Safety engineers call it Swiss cheese. You stack the slices and every one of them has holes. Most days, the holes don't line up. The disaster is the day they do.
Starting point is 00:11:35 A familiar courtyard. A wrong head count. a university that deferred, a meeting that never happened, cameras, nobody watched. The holes lined up at 1223. You know, I know this game. I've connected dots that weren't connected and had to come back on this microphone and say, okay, I was wrong on that. They weren't connected.
Starting point is 00:11:59 The plots I fear are not the ones before the shooting. They're the ones that come after. Because every show needs a next episode. who's making their career on episode after episode after episode after episode. The boring answer is usually one episode. The plot is a series and it'll make you the most famous person in the world. Nobody ever built an audience on. And then the radio guy went to bed.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And the guy just forgot the key was in his pocket. I can't read anybody's heart, but I can't read incentive. I live inside it too. The conspiracy lets the real failures off the hook. That's the problem here. If it was a plot, nobody answers for 13 officers. A courtyard ringed by roofs.
Starting point is 00:13:00 A site, the security team, never walked with the police. Nobody fixes the cheese. The next speaker stands in the next courtyard under the next roof. But here's what came after the Titanic. A lifeboat seat for every soul. a radio watch 24 hours a day, an ice patrol that still sails the North Atlantic. By the Coast Guard's account, no ship that has heated its warnings has ever been lost to an iceberg. The theories went nowhere.
Starting point is 00:13:39 The theories didn't save anybody. The boring facts did. They've saved countless thousands of lives. By the way, I was doing the research on this. I found the key survived. The key survived. I sold at auction about 20 years ago for 90,000 pounds. It's about the size of your thumb.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And that's usually the size of the truth. It's inconsequential sometimes. It's just a whole bunch of little teeny pieces. And that's what I found. Every April, a Coast Guard plane flies out over the spot where Titanic went down and drops a wreath into the sea. Not a theory, not an opinion. Flowers, a wreath. Then the crew turns around, goes back to watching for more ice.
Starting point is 00:14:32 That's how you honor the dead. You get the facts straight. You fix what's broke. You leave the conspiracies where they belong in the trash can unless you can actually connect dots and they stand under scrutiny. If any of those dots, I'm going to say it, Candice, If any of those dots had anything, they would be used in a court of law. Shame on you.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Shame on you. It looks like everybody made really bad mistakes. Charlie deserves more than this. Not a series. Not a villain who happens to look like whoever we are supposed to dislike this week. The truth. The fix. And somebody watching the roof.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I'm going to tell you that the opinion age is going to burn itself out quickly because it's going to continue to sell you a plot. You give up on the opinions. Don't even take mine. Go read. If you want to know the truth, go read the report yourself. The silence says everything. No, actually the words say everything. Read the report and decide for yourself.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Back in just a second. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. High prices are here to stay. Gas, groceries, insurance. And if you're a homeowner, you've probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt? And then you second-guess yourself because of your current low mortgage rate. Listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. That's the math nobody wants to face.
Starting point is 00:16:22 But it's costing you thousands. And here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no pressure, and it cost you nothing to find out if you could save something big every month. And if you start today, you may be able to delay up to two mortgage payments.
Starting point is 00:16:49 So call American Financing, 800906 2440. That's 8009062440 or visit Americanfinancing.com. NMLS-18234NMLS Consumer Access.org.

Starting point is 00:17:22 more than 200 moms and dads filled chairs. Some of them flew in from as far as Australia. Another 250 watched online. Every one of them has a grown child who stopped speaking to them. Wall Street Journal was in that room, and they reported on it. One mom, a retired event planner from Atlanta, hasn't heard from her 28-year-old son in three years.
Starting point is 00:17:47 What still stuns her is all the kids are using the same words. Narcissists, self-absorbed, your fault. A Cornell sociologist found that at any given time, about one American in 10 is cut off from a parent or a child and one in four from some close relative. Last month alone, more than 138,000 new TikTok videos were posted about cutting off their parents. This is 10 times what it was in August of 2020. 10 times.
Starting point is 00:18:33 A family therapist surveyed 1,000 estranged parents. 82% said the same labels show up right before the door is closed. And that is, you're toxic, you're abusive. This is an unsafe. Oh, I can't take it. Researchers have a name for it. Concept creep. Ordinary conflict, criticism, a hard disagreement,
Starting point is 00:19:00 a parent who doesn't approve, gets relabeled as toxic, harmful, dangerous. And once it's harm, leaving isn't a rupture. It's self-care. It's brave. There's a video for it. There's a coach for it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 There's paid support groups for it. One psychologist in the piece says that for some adults, cutting off a parent is their first chance at teenage rebellion. You're so brave. He says a parent who disagrees is no longer seen as a family with shared history, but as a member of the other tribe, a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota summed up what changed in the counselor's office.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Therapists gave in strangement the professional authoritative stamp of approval. Why are we listening to these experts? Now, some parents are dangerous. Some children are abused, beaten, terrorized. And you've got to leave them because it's a matter of survival. And the generation before mine looked away from that. I'm proud that we look at that. If that's your story, nobody in this program.
Starting point is 00:20:24 is going to tell you to go back to that house. And some parents need to hear what their kids are saying before they dismiss it. A grievance can be exaggerated but can still be true. And I'm open to hear it. I am open to hear it. But that's not what 138,000 videos a month are about. For 20 years, this generation told us rightly that a parent who cuts off a child for being gay or living a life a parent didn't approve of has failed.
Starting point is 00:21:00 as a parent. Good parents, we were told, love their kids no matter what. And you know what? They were right. Now, let me turn this around. I'm sorry, I get a little angry. Let me turn this around on the same young adults who are now passing judgment, slamming the door on a mom or a dad for believing something you don't. And then you call it enlightenment. I got news for you. you. That's the same sin with a cherished turn around. I'm not sure how much more I can take from these safe space over pampered. Everybody gets a trophy holier than thou crowd. I can't take it. But when the Lord attends me, I find this really sad. Your parent is hurting deeply. And they will feel that pain to the end of their life.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But I want to tell you something, and this is the saddest part, their pain is going to end long before yours does. See, we've lost parents already, and that never goes away. And you will have decades left to live with a divorce. You filed yourself. And didn't even, in many cases, give it a hearing. We've been here before.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Not with an app, but with a war. We've been here before. We were here during the Civil War. We were here in the Revolutionary War. Ben Franklin, one of the saddest stories. He had one son, William. He raised him, took him to London, watched him become the royal governor of New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:23:39 And then came the revolution. The father chose the country. The son chose the king. William was arrested in 1776, spent two years in an American prison. And when he got out, he led loyalists against the cause his father had bet his life on. Nine years without a word.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Then the war ended. Franklin was the one who signed the peace with Britain. And it was Franklin who reached out first. He dropped a hint through a merchant headed for London. Why hasn't my son made any move towards reconciliation? If nations can make peace, why can't we? William wrote back. He asked to revive the affection that had been, in his word, the pride and happiness of his life.
Starting point is 00:24:37 He also said if all of it happened again tomorrow, he'd do exactly the same thing. Franklin answered with a letter you can still read, we should post it. Nothing has ever hurt me so much, he wrote, as to find myself deserted in my old age by my own son. And then he wrote the wisest thing in it. I ought not blame you for differing with me. We are all men subject to errors. Our opinions are not in our own power.
Starting point is 00:25:16 And then this. There are natural duties which precede political ones and cannot be extinguished by them. Franklin knew the answer. He wrote it down. He could not do it. They met once more in an English port in 1785, a few days of business, settling of property. Franklin sailed home.
Starting point is 00:25:50 They never saw each other again. When his will was read, the son got almost nothing with one line of explanation, the part he acted against me in the late war. The man who made peace with the British Empire couldn't make peace with his own son. And it cuts both ways. The father was right about the war, the son. son believed he was right about his duty. Both were proud. Each wanted the other to go first. And when the other one didn't, it wasn't enough. Being right didn't give either one of them a
Starting point is 00:26:31 father or a son back. I'm telling you that piece of history because nothing's new. The riff isn't new. The families have split over kings and churches and money, a thousand smaller things since Kane. Here's what's new. The applause. The cheering. the coaching, the verbiage that goes along with it, to celebrate your courage for destroying your family over an opinion. And I don't care who started it. I don't care who's responsible for it. It's your family.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I've lost four dear family members. I don't know if I'll ever see them again. I write all the time. I never get word back. you are not alone. Franklin at least called it what it was, the thing that hurt him most in his life. He didn't post it as a victory.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Nobody coached him through it. Nobody sold him a membership. Today there's a whole economy standing at the door, cheering while those doors close. An algorithm that noticed what you lingered on and feeds you more of it. Influencers who are only credentialists, they did it too.
Starting point is 00:28:16 and often it's a professional who's never met your mom telling you the reason is her that you're the brave one even the man who runs one of the biggest estrangement support groups in the country admits it the person on your phone isn't listening to you doesn't know you can't judge your situation a stranger's story is not your diagnosis
Starting point is 00:28:47 to the grown kids honor your father and your mother Paul called it the first commandment with a promise attached. He doesn't ever say agree with them. He doesn't say obey them forever. He doesn't say let them hurt you. He says honor them. Honor can be done from a distance with rules and limits.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Basic kindness for people who bore you and raised you, who worried when you were sick, who still think of you every single day. Boundary is a fence with a gate. A cutoff is a wall with no door. Know which one you're building and who sold you the bricks. To the parents in Chicago, go first, not with a defense. Surrender.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Just ask a question. What did I do to hurt you to deserve this? And then do the hardest thing of parents. parent ever does. Don't explain. Just listen. You don't have to agree. Just hear it. A door you close to punish something, to punish the actions, to punish someone. You close that door. That door locks from both sides. Benjamin Franklin died in 1790. His son outlived him by 23 years in London, a man without a country, and in the end, a man without a dad. They were both right about something. I know how hard it is to write.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Even though you think about them every single day, multiple times a day, never stop writing, never stop texting, never stop calling, reach them one way or another in hopes that they will read that text, that email, that letter. Franklin wrote them, for us, those words, for us, 240 some years ago, we are all men subject to errors. The natural duties come first. Write the letter, no matter which side you're on, write the letter. And when the answer comes, let it be enough. I will pray for you and ask that you pray for me.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Together, maybe we can all heal our families at some point. More in a minute. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. Truth is under attack in our culture. embracing lies about gender. They're rejecting the sanctity of every human life. And the government is even punishing people for saying what's true and right. Or worse, the woke mob is doxing them and slandering them with no due process. Just an angry mob making their lives miserable or worse, putting families in real danger. But the biblical principles on which our country was founded
Starting point is 00:32:50 still matter. Real patriots and Christians are beginning to stand up. They're showing real courage without a safety net of a big bank account. They're bolstered only by the the truths that are self-evident, but these people must be defended. Alliance defending freedom is on the front lines of this fight, and they're standing in courtrooms across the country upholding truth, and you're right to speak it.

Starting point is 00:33:31 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to Thank you for listening. Justin, welcome to the program. This poll that you just are releasing here this week is absolutely terrifying. Yes, it is. It is. It's one of the more terrifying polls I've done. I've done dozens of polls over many years.
Starting point is 00:33:54 As you know, you have highlighted a lot of them. One of the key things that I'm always looking for is to find out just how insane America has become, especially with younger people, especially on the left, been tracking it for a long time. And as this poll illustrates very, very clearly, it's really a series of polls, they all illustrate the same thing. Younger people and the Democratic Party is so far gone and detached from reality that it's hard to believe how crazy things have actually gotten. And we have a lot of work to do on the right to try to repair this because eventually younger people are going to be the majority voting block. And when that happens, God help us because they have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world and we're going to talk about it in this poll.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Okay. Give me the first one that want socialist president. How many people want a socialist president overall Democrats and then Republicans? Yeah. So actually, that poll question is not in this poll. That's from a different poll that we did a while ago. No, but that, but the answer to that. The answer to that question is, generally speaking, support for socialist presidential candidates is
Starting point is 00:35:13 pretty low. But with younger people, it's around 50%. So about 50% of people say, under the age of 30 or so, that they want a Democratic socialist president in 2028. So they want a socialist now. And when you trace all sorts of other socialist and Marxist questions that I've asked in previous polls, you'll see that it's around 40, 50%, sometimes it drops below 40%, depending on the question. But you ask about socialist policies like nationalizing whole industries.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You ask about, you know, you name it. Healthcare energy and big tech. Healthcare energy and big tech, it is 76%. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. And so widespread support among younger people for socialism. So you're looking at socialism. Remember, red-green alliance. So you've got socialism. That's the red. Now let's look at the green. Islam. And these numbers are terrifying. Let's just look at today. We'll look at Islam tomorrow in Sharia law, which is, holy cow, are we in trouble. Let's look at just the war with Iran here. In the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, who do you? you hope will ultimately win? And you were asking Americans. That's right. Likely voters, not just all Americans, not just registered voters, likely voters. And what we found is that among all voters, 6% said Iran. So not a huge percentage. Seventy-four percent said the United States, which is the obvious right answer, you would think. Correct. 10% said they don't care,
Starting point is 00:37:00 which is pretty astounding. And 11% said they're not sure. They're still trying to figure. out whether they want, you know, Iran to win the war or not. I guess they haven't figured that out. But the really scary thing is not those top line results, because the average everyday American is not insane. But many young people are, and a huge chunk of the Democratic Party is becoming that way. A quarter of the Democrats surveyed said that they either want Iran to win or they don't care who wins. But they're not rooting for America. Less than 50 percent of them said that they want the United States to win this war. Less than 50%.
Starting point is 00:37:35 And younger people, it was similar. Similar thing. So under 30, the most radical positions taken throughout all of these polling questions are going to be with younger people and with Democrats. And it's going to be, depending on the question, around a quarter or so of these groups saying the most, taking the most radical position that you could. The second question, I actually want to discuss this one because I, well, We'll discuss it. Who do you think is most to blame for the war between Iran and the United States? This one does not surprise me. Go ahead. Yeah. 39% said it's Iran's government. 41%, which was, this is the plurality.
Starting point is 00:38:19 This is the number one answer, said the U.S. government. 10% said Israel's government, which is actually interesting because not a lot of people said that. And nine percent said not sure. I did too. But when you add Israel's government and the U.S. government together, you have a majority of all voters saying, yes, we think this is either Israel's fault or the United States's fault, primarily the United States. And when you asked Democrats and young people, it was much, much higher. 77% of Democrats said it's either Israel's fault or the U.S. government. Most of them said the U.S. government. Same thing with younger people, the vast majority of them. It was over 60% said it's either America's fault or Israel's fault. So I look at this differently. I look at this as, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:03 Who's most to blame for the war between Iran and the United States? Well, I mean, we were the ones who pulled the trigger. You know what I mean? It's not like they pulled the trigger. We did a preemptive strike on them. And it was because of Hezbollah and Hamas and also nuclear. So you could look at that and say, well, it was their actions. But we were the ones who pulled.
Starting point is 00:39:25 So I can look at this at 39% say it's Iran, 41% say it's the U.S. government, without attaching negative views to America. Would you, does the, do the numbers bear that out when you're looking at it? Or what it's, it's, go ahead. Yeah, no, if this was the only question we had, then I would say, yeah, there's all sorts of ways you could read this, maybe. Maybe they're just thinking, well, you know, America's the one that launched these attacks to begin with. So I think that the important thing to keep in mind, though, is it's, in the context of people saying everything that we just talked about in the first poll question,
Starting point is 00:40:06 you know, where we're asking, who do you hope will win? And you got a quarter of people saying, basically, I don't care or I want Iran to win in the Democratic Party and among younger people. So, and the next question that we'll get to shows that this position is more radical than it might seem for this one question that we're talking about alone. But the reality is Iran has been attacking America for a very long time. It's not as though. So it's not as though America just woke up one day and said, Donald Trump woke up and said, you know, we're going to attack Iran and I don't, you know, we have no reason to. That's not what happened, obviously. So people don't know the history of this.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah, I was going to say people don't know the history. They're not paying any attention, unfortunately, for the republic's sake. Here is the really scary one. Would you support a proposal that would end the war in Iran and provide the United States with low oil and gas prices in exchange for completely dismantling the nation of Israel and replacing it with a new Palestinian-led nation. Yes. Yes, and I did write that question, just to be clear, because I want to know just how radical these factions have become. And the answer to this was absolutely astounding. Among all voters, 19% said yes, they would support that proposal. You
Starting point is 00:41:34 dismantle Israel, you install a Palestinian state, and all the Americans get in return is low oil and gas prices and ending the war in Iran. 19%. So one in five people said that of all voters. Only 58% said no. So there's a lot of not sure. There's 22% of people, voters, likely voters. who say, well, I'm thinking about it. Maybe I would support something like that. And then when you look at the demographics... Wait, God just a second. What right do you have to dismantle a state for oil and gas?
Starting point is 00:42:12 I mean, that is every charge that every leftist has ever made about any war, that they'll do Americans, the government is only doing it for cheap oil and gas, and they'll go and kill anybody. you are saying you will dismantle and basically kill all the Jews for cheap oil and gas. It is such a horrific concept. I looked at that before I looked at the bull. I read that and I kind of laughed when I read it because I'm like, this is a crazy question.
Starting point is 00:42:45 And then I looked at the results. Go ahead and just break it down by Democrats. Right. So 24%. So one in four Democrats. say that they would support this proposal. Again, likely voters. These are voters who are saying this
Starting point is 00:43:01 and support among young people, and this is really the most terrifying part of all of it. I mean, it's bad enough. We have 19% overall, among all voters, a quarter of Democrats, that's all bad. But younger people in particular have bought this idea, that we should just get rid of Israel, just dismantle it, destroy it.
Starting point is 00:43:20 For cheap gas, 46% of those aged 18 to 24 said they would support that. 60% of those 25 to 29. And then I believe it was in the 40s or so for people who were in their 30s. And so the higher up you go, the less likely you are to support this. When you get to age 40 and above, 40 and above, support for this proposal is, I think, 3%. So basically nobody. So all the support for this proposal is...
Starting point is 00:43:53 people under the age of 40. It's so important for people to understand this is how radical a lot of our young people have become. They think this kind of policy is completely acceptable at levels that are 40, 50, 60 percent. I don't think people understand how extreme young people have become. And, you know, on the right and the left to some extent, but right now we're talking about mostly people on the left who hold these positions. It is a huge problem. And as these people grow up and become the primary voting base, these ideas are going to be front and center when they're electing politicians, when public policies going into place, when we decide whether we're going to support Israel in the future or not. So this is incredibly important information. It's not getting
Starting point is 00:44:42 anywhere near enough attention how radical young people have become on this issue. I'm going to take a break and we're going to talk about, okay, okay, okay. So now what do we do? Because if these numbers don't terrify you, you're dead asleep. Because this is your future. And these numbers are, I've never seen anything like this. I've done this for 49 years. Never seen anything like this.
