Episode Date: September 22, 2026

What will happen to the country if Texas flips blue? Glenn calls out how the Council on American-Islamic Relations is going all out to turn Texas into a blue state, and Glenn also calls out southern pastors for being complicit in this ongoing attack on southern faith and culture. The shoe company Converse has been forced to apologize and pull an ad because it was accused of portraying a lynching. Glenn calls out the overreaction and calls the attacks on Converse and the model in the pulled ad a witch hunt. Taylor Swift’s reaction to her husband Travis Kelce's touchdown at the last Chiefs game went viral, and Glenn says this reaction is good for marriage. Learn more about your ad choices.

Look at the converse ad. It's a lynching. No, it's... I'll explain. Also, Ed Shearin and Taylor Swift. Why? Because culture matters and Taylor Swift just through a giant stone in a very still pond. You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck program. All right, now I want you to listen to this. The craziest damn thing I've read a lot in a while. Young woman standing in a long white shirt. skirt. Her name is Karina. She's one of the biggest pop stars in Korea. She's holding a pair of black converse high tops above her a spotlight. And the spotlight is cut into the shape of the converse star. Could you find anything controversial about you live in America? Somebody found. That's the ad. That's the whole ad.

went up September 3rd. For two weeks, millions of people saw it. Nobody said a word. Nobody had a problem with it. But you didn't have enough time on your hands. You probably have a life. There's somebody out there without a life at all who was like, I'm going to find something about this.

Everybody else saw a girl and shoes. But then somebody with absolutely no life studied the lighting. and the edge of that star I told you about, it fell across her skirt and made a white triangle. And somebody decided that triangle looked exactly like a clan hood. And the shoes that she was holding into her hand right next to that clan hood, which wasn't a clan hood. It was a spotlight triangle shadow.

Those shoes she was holding next to it looked like it was, It was the feed of a lynching victim. So we have a Korean pop star, a sneaker, and a spotlight. Oh, man. Right. You know, we used to say that evil hides in the shadows. They don't look at the shadows anymore. We don't look into the shadows.

We look at the shadows now. Okay? We pull them. up into the light and we interrogate the actual shadow, not what's lurking in the shadows. Within hours, the machine was running. Fire the staff, boycott the company. A sitting congressman, Troy Carter of Louisiana said, I want an apology. In fact, an apology isn't enough.

He wants Nike and Converse to name those responsible and a commission, an independent investigation. Over a shadow. Pardon me for a second. Dear Lord, seriously, take me now. Just take me now. Because I don't know how much more I can do of this. I really don't. Signed, Glenn. Love you.

All right, back to the show. Then a civil rights attorney named Lee Merritt said, You know, we keep having this conversation because corporations keep failing the same test. I really want to know Lee. What test? What test? The shadow test? What test?

You took a photograph, you cropped it if you squint the right way, and you ask one question. And that question is, do I want to be offended? Could I be offended? The answer is always yes. That's why nobody passes. Nobody. You know, look at that cloud. Doesn't that cloud look like Hitler?

It's a cloud! No, it's oppression. In the sky. That cloud is oppressing me. A tree fails it. Your kitchen fails it. If the morning sunlight hits the dish towel just right. That's where we are.

Now what's in the picture, what the light did on its way through. And converse? Did anyone say, that's a spotlight. This is a shoe. No, no. They folded in a day. We're really, really sorry.

I want to quote it. I want to quote it. We're really, really, really super sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognized we got this wrong. How? How? You didn't intend it? If you're squinting, if you're looking for it and you're cropping the picture,

Yes, but that's not what you did. You did nothing wrong. You can understand. I can understand how this is deeply upsetting. Too crazy people. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened and we'll do better. How?

How? How are you going to do better? The only way you can do better is if you hire a bunch of lunatics to look at all your ads and go, can you guys come up with some way to be offended by this? and you know what? They're going to find a way to be offended by all of it. Sorry, we got this. God, what wrong?

The angle of the light? Do better at what? Predicting which shadow a stranger on the internet will turn into a hate crime? That's not an apology. It's a confession. We live in the world of Takamata again. We are hauled in front of an inquisition. Oh, but talk to me some more about fascism and how much you hate it.

this tells the whole country there was something evil in that picture and converse put it there on purpose and it hands the next mob a trophy and a road map did anybody apologize to Karina she showed up she stood where the photographer told her where to stand and held the shoes her name now sticks next to the word clan

and lynching in headlines all around the world not one person in this entire outrage has said her name in sorrow. This is a witch hunt. We are actually hunting for witches. And the denial is more evidence. The only exit here is confession. They'll take you down.

I can guarantee you this is the conversation at Nike in Converse. Just admit it. Just say it. Just say it. Or they'll never stop. And then they'll take us all down. Just say it. That's a witch hunt.

The only exit. it is the confession. Which hunters supply the fear and the corporate coward supply the confession. And neither one of them survives without the other. That's the partnership they're in. That's the whole engine of this. Racism is real.

It's real. The clan was real. And the terror it brought was real. This isn't the clan. What was Bernie Sanders comparing? Oh, he was comparing ice. and people being removed who are here illegally and putting them on a plane, not a cattle car, a plane, and sending them back home, he compared that to the Holocaust yesterday.

Could we get some perspective? God help you if you're a lighting person. Look out. What gel are you putting on there? I mean, somebody cries clan at a spotlight. You know, that makes racism. That word get a little cheaper, don't you think? don't you think? And someday, somebody is going to need that word to mean something, and it won't.

Because you'll actually be crying racism and everybody will go, ah, everybody's crying racism. No, this is real racism here. And you'll find, you will find in life what you believe and what you look for. It happens all the time. That's the way it works. You know, you buy a red car and suddenly you notice all the red cars on the highway. All the cars seem to look. Why are all these red cars? I thought I had a unique car. They're all red. No, you just started looking. You wake up looking for racism and you'll find it. You'll find it in a sneaker ad, in lightning, in the folds of a skirt.

You'll find it in your own family. You'll find it everywhere. Because you are looking for it. You are training your eyes to see it. And this society is training you to see things in shadows. A man who hunts monsters for a living can't afford to run out of monsters. Let me ask you this, because I don't want to be outraged all day to day. I don't.

When's the last time any of us went looking for good? Not waited for it. Hunted for good. The way people are hunting for a fence right now. Who's hunting for goodness, for growth, for kindness, for unity? Maybe more than I think, but you don't see it because the algorithm doesn't want it. The algorithm doesn't pay for the kid who mowed the widow's lawn next door. It pays for outrage.

It pays for the 12 tweet thread that says, look closer. Look at the shadow. It starves you of the light. And then it tells you that's what the world looks like. It doesn't look like that. The world does not look like this. This is social media garbage. Go back to those two weeks.

Millions of people looked at that photograph and saw a young woman from the other side of the world selling American sneakers. They didn't see a hood. They didn't see a lynching. They saw a person with sneakers. That's the story. Not a handful who found a monster in the lighting and the shadows and the millions who never went looking for one. This is, we have to choose. We have to choose.

Which one are we? I still think that this is a small group of people and an algorithm. And then a bunch of people who are motivated, because again, can't run out of monsters, and a bunch of cowards at the corporate level who care about the almighty dollar more than anything else. They'll admit anything, anything,

just so we can sell some sneakers. And you know what? Stirring it all up, giving it life? the algorithm because it's not going to show you what's honestly happening in the world because there's no money in it. So here's the only answer I know

and it doesn't cost you anything. Tomorrow morning, go hunting. Find three good things before lunch. They don't have to be huge. A stranger who held the door. The coworker who covered a shift and never mentioned it. The neighbor who showed up without being asked.

Write them down. Just for yourself. I mean, tell somebody, post it. but at least write it down. Do it for weeks. And I'm telling you, you do that for three weeks, four weeks, and your whole outlook will change. I did a test on myself, oh, 20 years ago.

I put a playlist together. I should put this playlist out. And it was a playlist of just positive songs. Okay? Some of them knew, some of them, you know, from the 40s, you know, whatever. Just songs that were all positive. And I played that playlist, and I listened to that playlist exclusively for a month. My entire mood changed.

You put darkness in, you're going to get darkness everywhere. You get more of what you practice seeing. And when the mob comes, and the mob will come. When the mob comes for a shadow, don't confess, don't apologize for the angle of the light. Just say, that's a moment. That's a spotlight, that's a shoe, and that's a skirt. I mean, I'm sorry you see it that way, but you're seeing things that aren't there. Shadow isn't a thing.

It's a place where something block the light. And there's a lot of people right now blocking the light. You can spend your life measuring the dark shadows and shapes on the wall or cowering under your blankets because something you swear is in your closet or under your bed. Or you just turn around and look at what's shining. They were so busy, so busy staring at the shadows that they never saw the star right behind them. 300,000 in metric tons of foreign ground beef are about to come into the United States without the normal tariff. That's a huge amount of beef.

And here's the part that bothers me. When that beef ends up at the grocery store, you have no way of knowing which country it came from. I'm all for buying beef for my family, but I want to know where it came from. That's why I like good ranchers. Good ranchers partners with more than 100 local farmers and ranchers and delivers 100% American meat straight to your door. Paster raised, no antibiotics, no added hormones and more than 25,000 five-star reviews on Trust Pilot. They've become the number one company delivering 100% American beef. For a limited time, you can get 50% off your first good rancher's order.

that's 41 pounds of 100% American Angus ground beef to help stock your freezer. Just visit good ranchers.com slash Glenn. Claim your ground beef bundle.

So Texas, you're going to be crying. You're going to be crying and freaking out of your mind. because right now you think, oh, well, everything's fine. Trump is in office. And even though I don't really like Trump that much anymore, you've forgotten, have you forgotten what it was like two years ago? You're about to California, your Texas. The numbers are now out from a very, this is from the quorum report,

and this pollster was right last time in Texas when everybody said they weren't. here's what the numbers look like. U.S. Senate, now this is in District Night, this is Tarrant County, this is Fort Worth. Fort Worth has always been traditionally Republican. Fort Worth, U.S. Senate, Talrico, up by nine. Texas Governor, Hingosa, I don't even know anything. I don't even know anything about her.

Up by nine. Lieutenant Governor, Vicki Goodwin, the Democrat. up by three. Tarrant County Judge, up by six. Democrats are sweeping Tarrant County. Why? Because they know what it means to have Texas. Do you know what it means to have Texas?

You know, everybody, everybody is claiming that, you know, it's so important, it's so important. All the things our kids are facing. But then are those people who are, Are those people who are worried about the culture, who are worried about what your kids are taught? Are you planning on going and having somebody in your car that you're taking with you? Let me give you this. This summer, the Council on American Islamic Relations Care has now published a plan.

And it's on their website, so you can go and read it. The goal is mobilize 3 million more American Muslim voters this November, including 2 million, brand new registrations. This is not a pamphlet. It's an operation. Four pillars. Register, educate, protect, turnout. 12 priority states, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio,

Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and six more. These are the states that will decide the House and the Senate. 35 chapters. Each one required to name a civic engagement lead and file a quarterly report. There is a scorecard, all 535 members of Congress, a trained poll observer in every precinct in every priority state from care. There is a toolkit for the mosques to use.

Registrations at Friday prayers at every mosque. And in November, caravans to the polls straight out of Friday prayers. Are you doing that? Care is a nonprofit. It can't endorse, but its sister group care action can and has. Abdul El-Said for Senate in Michigan. Peggy Flanagan for Senate in Minnesota. Keith Ellison for Attorney General. Donovan McKinney, the DSA-backed candidate who knocked off a sitting Democrat in Detroit. Pew puts American Muslims at 53% leading Democrat. You know which way the Democrat or I'm sorry, which way the caravan is headed, correct?

I mean, you know they're going for the Democrats. This is not to get the Republicans out. Turning points, Tyler Bauer said, our side isn't prepared for what Kerr is doing. Well, yes, right, correct. Now, I looked at this story and I thought, everybody's going to be pissed at Kerry. I was going to go, I can't believe Carr is doing that.

You can't believe Carr is doing it. That's what we should be doing. The problem is not that Muslims are organizing. Registering your neighbor and driving them to the poll is not a plot. It's called U.S. citizenship. It may be the most American thing in this entire story. And I disagree with nearly every candidate and their endorsements on that list. I probably disagree with everything all of them say all the way down to,

Good morning. The answer to beat them is the way they're trying to beat us with votes. The problem here is not care. The problem is that Christians are not organizing. Care is hunting for 3 million voters. Now let me look at the Christian church. George Barna is the most respected Christian pollster in America. Before the last presidential election, he measured us.

32 million Americans who call themselves Christian, and attend a church regularly, we're not going to vote. 32 million. We're not talking the Christian and Easter people. We're talking people who go to church every Sunday. 32 million. 14 million of them are sitting in evangelical pews.

41 million born again Christians staying home. Care is looking for 3 million. We have 32 million. in our own buildings every Sunday that we sit next to who are not going to show up. Go back to 2012. Barnett counted 89 million born-again adults. 38 million didn't vote for president. 12 million of those were not even registered.

12 million people with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and no relationship with the county clerk. I don't know. One of them is easier. One of them you drive up, you fill out a form and you're done. The other one requires work, character, all of that stuff. Why aren't you taking the easy one? You're doing all the hard work. Do the easy one.

Barna asked why non-voters, why are you not doing it? Two out of three said, nah, I'm not really interested in politics. Oh, really? Are you interested in religious freedom? Are you interested in what your kids are taught in school? Are you interested whether adoption agencies, the counselor, the school, the baker, get sued out of existence. Yeah, I bet you care about those things.

You're just not interested in the one mechanism that decides how each of those things are dealt with. You want religious freedom, right? It's not whether, it's the law. The law is written by people who get elected by people who show up. Well, God's got this. If I hear that one more time, God's got this? What kind of lazy excuse? I'm got to tell you, I think St. Peter's going to look at you and go,

oh yeah, I remember you. You were the one that said God's got this. Yeah, I know, can I get in? I don't know. You know, God's got this. We'll see. God had the Red Sea too, but Moses still had to walk into it before it parted. Now let me talk to the pastors.

Barna asked what churches actually do at election time. one Christian church in four registers new voters. One in four. And you know who that is? Traditionally, it's the black churches. Because the black churches are more than half. And more than half hand out voter guides. That's more than twice the rate of everybody else.

The black church figured this out generations ago because it had to. Souls to the polls. It was not invented at a consultant's office. It was invented by people who remembered what it cost to be allowed to stand in line, to be able to vote. They remembered that. They appreciated that. And I know what the pastor, I know what you're saying. I can't.

The IRS. The Johnson Amendment. Pastor, I love you. I love you. But that's not true. The Johnson Amendment says the church may not endorse a candidate. It has never said you can't register your own people. It has never said you can't host a forum, teach what script.

says about family and liberty and hand out a nonpartisan guide or rent a van. It's never said that. Last year, the IRS told federal court that church speaking to its own congregation about elections through the lens of faith is no more a campaign that a family talking about it around the dinner table. The court threw that case out last spring. So the endorsement rule still stands, but the table in the lobby, what you're saying from the pulpit about how you tie God's gospel to what's happening in society and get your butt out of the pew and go vote, that's always been legal. I know, but you have fundraisers, so you probably don't want to offend anybody because you've got to pay for your church.

Oh my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Guys, I, pastors, please, do you know how much time I spend worrying about my own soul? because I have the responsibility of this microphone? Do you spend a second wondering what the Lord's going to say to you that you did not speak out in these times because you had to raise money? I keep on my desk. Right next to this microphone.

It's a silver coin from the time of the crucifixion. It is one of the coins just like this, 30 pieces of silver. I keep it next to my microphone. I've had it here for 20 years to remind me, don't sell out. Doesn't matter if you go broke. Don't sell out. So care is a 501c3.

Same tax code as churches. Same rules. Same Johnson amendment. But they read that and they built an operation inside of it. We read that and we built an excuse. It's a way for us not to have to worry about offending. Anybody. Read the part where Jesus said he's going to piss a few people off. The mosque is registering voters after Friday prayers every Friday. When was the last time your church had a table in the lobby to get people registered? You know, it wasn't always this way. 1634 in Boston, we've been here before. They started a custom every year on Election Day before the other businesses, before any other business, the governor and the legislature.

sat in the church and sat in the pew while the pastor told them what God expected of them. They called it the election sermon, and they printed it afterwards so everyone could read it. The very first one backfired. The story goes down that the preacher told them to keep their governor, and the votes threw the governor out anyway. And that was fine. Polbow never owned the vote. It just refused to pretend the vote didn't matter.

It went on for 250 years. By the 1770s, those pulpits were preaching liberty so hard that a loyalist writing the history of the rebellion blamed the preachers for it and gave them a name, the color of their robes. If you've listened to my program for a long time, you know what it is. It's called the Black Robe Regiment. The Crown believed the most dangerous men in America were standing in the pulpits. The last election sermon was preached in 1884, and nobody banned it.

No court, no law, no IRS, no Johnson. Amendment. That was 70 years down the road. They just stopped. And the pulpit went quiet, long before anyone told it to. And now the pulpit blames the law. Christians, it's easier to be afraid of care than it is to be ashamed of ourselves. It's easier to share a post about their caravan than to drive our own mother to the polls. And our sides are the same, you know, we're not been sharing that post for 20 years now. So let me say it plainly. If you're a Christian and you're not registered, stop complaining. Stop mentioning how much you love or hate Trump. Stop talking to me about, oh, my school shouldn't be teaching this or shouldn't be doing it. If you don't get out

and vote, you have no right to bitch about it. You did nothing to change it. You were handed a seat and you left it empty. That's why the black church votes. They had to earn that seat. They had to fight for that seat. James said, faith without works is dead. A faith that will not drive

to an elementary school gym on a Tuesday in November is not persecuted. Your sound asleep. A pastor? Pastor? If you preach that the culture is collapsing 52 Sundays a year and you never once ask if your congregation is registered, never once say, get out of the pew and go vote. You're not a shepherd.

You're a weatherman. Here's what I want you to do. Check your registration. Are you registered to vote? It takes two minutes. In most states, the deadline is early October. That's what, a week and a half from right now. Now, pastors put a table in the lobby this Sunday and the next one.

One volunteer, one clipboard, one laptop, that's it. You don't have to tell a soul who to vote for, but tie the gospel principles. Hey, how are you going to do under Marxism? You know what really thrives? What really thrives under Marxism is Christianity. Oh no, that's right. Put all those preachers in jail. You only have to tell people that it matters to God whether they go or not.

You don't have to tell them how to vote. Here are the principles the Bible cheat teaches us. Here are the candidates. Hear what they stand for. Make a choice and go. Everybody else, they're running caravans after Friday prayers. Can you figure out a way to run one? after Sunday service.

Where early voting is open on a Sunday, load the church van where it isn't pick up three people, the widow, the college kid, and the guy in the back row who never talks. Tell him you'll be at their driveway at 7 a.m. The Crown was afraid of the black regiment. You know what our problem is? Nobody's afraid of us now.

And that should trouble you a great deal more than anything care has ever put on a website. Truth is under attack in our culture. People are 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 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 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. Your gift to ADF will be matched by a special grant while the funds last. Visit join ADF.com slash Beck or text Beck to 83-848. Visit join ADF.com

I'm going to tell you, I want to talk to you about a couple of things. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. And I know you're thinking, why the hell would you do you talk about those guys?

Because culture matters. And these are two important stories. One sad, bad, and one good. I can't believe I'm saying it, but one good. Shearine was on stage in Philadelphia on Sunday, and you know what happened. I assume you know what happened. McElmore was on stage, and he started doing this really, I think, outrageous, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish. You know, this is a guy who's been on stage giving the Hitler salute.

He is no friend of the Jewish people. And so he was doing this pro-Palestinian thing. And one father, who, by the way, nobody in the press has interviewed this guy. He's not speaking to anybody. He just wrote a letter, and that was it. And he posted it. Now, we talked to him, we called him up and said, hey, we know you're not talking anybody. Do you care to tell your story in an op-ed?

and so he wrote an op-ed and it's posted today at glenbeck.com and it'll be the only time probably you hear from this guy it is well worth the read at glenbeck.com you can read it there and now but he goes and he had to take his family out you know of the stadium for the time macklemore was on because it was so offensive and he felt so full of he so that's what starts this whole thing and then you know craft gets involved in the stadium say know and and Philadelphia decides they're going to they're going to have Ed Shearan and didn't McElmore did McElmore play the first because he no he was at this point he was it at the jet stadium this was yeah he was already off the tour right because there was one one where he said I'm not going to say anything and then he went on and he did it anyway and so now he's off he was off

the tour for Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial and I don't know if you saw Ed Shearin come out and he said, you know, I think what happened on October 7th was horrific, but I think what's going on is, you know, out of balance and blah, blah, blah. And I disagreed with what he said, but you could see that he was deeply sad and I think afraid. And this is what he said. Now, on Sunday, he said in the middle of his concert, he just sits down and he says, in these situations, you really find out who your friends are. It's been a weird week.

All of his opening acts quit on him, including his own backing band. Did you know that? His band walked out in solidarity with McElmore. He said, it all happened so quickly, and at the same time, I had so many people to cancel my tour, and so many people I've known for years and years and years, and they're backing away from me. In the back of my mind, I saw the ticket sales for this gig, and I didn't say, the cancellations. I saw people buying tickets for this gig. Everybody's telling me to cancel and I'm feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandoned me. Did you know that? His own family

turned on him. I look at the end of the week and I see 50,000 people who haven't abandoned me. People say, people can say what they want, but I'm doing this for you. I love you. I love this. He called the concert the best show of his life. He later cried, as he said, he felt so much love from the audience. He was initially worried for his safety and that people would boo him. He said, the world is a scary place right now. America is a scary place right now. This gives me hope. Sharon, I don't know you. I don't know your music. I know my family is, you know, a fan of your music, et cetera, et cetera. I just don't listen to music anymore, really. But I have to tell you, I feel for you. When you say America is a scary place, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely.

right. But who's making that a scary place? Is it the dad who just said, hey, this is outrageous. I just want to come and just listen to music. I don't want to be lectured about anything. Is that what's making a scary place? Or it is the bullies that are saying, you're canceled. Your own family can't be family with you. Your own band who knows you backs away because they're being told you'll never work again. It's a tragically sad story. Now, let me tell you a good story.

This one involves Taylor Swift. Oh, boy. Taylor Swift, a video of her watching her husband, Travis Kelsey, score his first touchdown of the season, and then pointing at her wedding ring and screaming and joy, that's my husband,

is going viral. Okay? Now, whether you personally care about Taylor Swift or not, I don't know. I don't care about her. But she moves the culture. She is a major force in our culture.

The countless women who have never been told the power of supporting their husband's passions are seeing that video. They have never been told that it's a good and honorable thing to support their husbands. and they don't know how much that means to men. Now, Taylor Swift is doing that. This is a cultural moment, an important one. It will give more women permission to point to their wedding ring and go, that's my husband. You know, I said at my speech for Charlie Kirk's Memorial at TPSA, that women have forgotten the influence they hold over men.

the power they have to shape the lives of the men that they love and to make sure they're on God's path. Women have tremendous effect on men. And it's not supposed to be pressure on women. It's just supposed to be true. You set a standard for us. You see us in ways that we don't see ourselves. You look at us as the man that somewhere in all,

of us. We want to be. We will be that man. We will. Without nagging, without saying anything, you just see who we want to be and encourage us by saying, that's my husband, pointing to a ring and saying, that's my husband. Now, that's, I just want to say just personally to Tanya, I've never seen you in a crowd do that. Now, I want to say to Kelsey, that's because I catch the damn ball every time I'm out in public. I'm just saying. I don't walk off the stage going, wow, that was a disaster. So maybe my wife doesn't have to do it because she's like, yeah, that's my husband.

He's going to make the touchdown every time. So maybe that's the difference. I'm just saying, being praised for your achievements, being praised for your strength by somebody who loves you is rocket fuel. to a man. It's rocket fuel. You want to change your marriage? You tell your wife every day how proud you are that you're married to her. You tell your wife every day how amazing she is. It will transform her. Women, you tell your husband how proud you are of him. How proud you are of him. and what he does and what he accomplishes, how hard he works, you'll transform him.

And that's just true. And nobody in society is teaching it. They're instead, they're teaching this like it's tradwife. It's not trad wife. It's not. You don't have to wear an apron. She wasn't wearing an apron. But that was very trad wife of her.

That's my husband. And I'm proud of him. That's why I had to mention this, because Taylor Swift just set a massive example for women all over Earth with doing that. And millions of young women saw it.
