Starting point is 00:02:56 We do that in 60 seconds. Stand by first. Let me tell you about our sponsor. Imagine walking away from a home sale thinking that you got a great deal only to find out later that you'll have tens of thousands of dollars on the table, not because the market took a dive, not because the economy shifted, but because the agent you hired actually didn't know what he was doing. The house mispriced by 5%, whether on the buyer's sell side can mean losing 15, 20, even $40,000. And that's before you factor in the cost of repairs that you didn't catch, contracts you didn't
Starting point is 00:03:27 negotiate, inspection red flags you never knew to ask about. Pat agents don't always look incompetent. Sometimes they're very friendly. Sometimes they're flashy. Sometimes they talk a big game and still cost you more than you'll ever know. But when you work with real estate agents, I trust, you're not getting somebody who just bought a yard sign and a headshot. You're getting a proven expert. Somebody who knows the market understands the strategy and works for you.
Starting point is 00:03:53 So go to real estate agents. itrust.com. That's real estate agents. itrust.com. I want to take you to a place where the mountains touch the heaven and the air still holds a trace of frontier. decency, a place where over the weekend, evil struck. Not with a drone, not with a bomb, not with a cyber attack, or a coordinated cell, but with
Starting point is 00:04:18 fire. Ancient, primal, vicious. A man, not a citizen. Want to make that clear. Not a citizen. Not even a guest of our country anymore. An illegal immigrant whose visa had expired not once, but. two times hurled a Molotov cocktail into the window of a Jewish family's home this weekend.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Flames don't ask questions. They quickly licked up the curtains, the memories, the photographs, and the people. One woman, elderly now, frail, a woman who had escaped the Holocaust in the last century. A woman who escaped Hitler's ovens only to be set ablaze. here in the nation that was supposed to be the world's safe harbor. Let that settle in. She survived last century's greatest evil, only to be hunted in this century,
Starting point is 00:05:25 in this country, on our streets. When will you say you've had enough? Why was he here? How many more like him are here? Hiding in plain sight, walking amongst us. Why, two decades after 9-11, have we learned nothing? Do you remember what 9-11?
Starting point is 00:05:51 You remember what they said caused that? People overstaying their visas. And so we were going to change. We're going to get the Patriot Act, so that never happened again. Well, she, the Patriot Act, has done an awful lot of things, but apparently not stopped what caused 9-11. That was the hole we swore we were going to close. Do you remember the commissions?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Do you remember the hearings? Do you remember all of the promises? They meant nothing. and it'll only get worse if we keep trading security for ideology, borders for feelings, sovereignty for slogans. Anti-Semitism is burning in our streets. This time, literal fire. This is not really an abstract kind of concept. This isn't a mean tweet or a campus protest.
Starting point is 00:06:47 This is torches and flames. And it should sound familiar because I think we've all seen. this movie before. Wasn't it in the 1930s that this happened when they lit synagogues, they lit people on fire? America, are you sleepwalking into that same nightmare? I have to tell you, I am so sick and tired of the lies from the left and the media every single day they claimed Donald Trump and his supporters. They're nothing but Hitler and their Nazis. Well, let me ask you a question. What were the Nazis best known for because I don't think it was the Volkswagen. It was the Holocaust.
Starting point is 00:07:37 It was their hatred of Jews. It was Kristlnach. It was the ovens in Auschwitz. Let me ask you, which group of people is marching in the streets chanting from the rivers to the sea? Are they Donald Trump supporters?
Starting point is 00:08:02 Or are the the anarchists, the LGBTQ community, the Democrats, the socialists, the communists, aren't they the ones doing it? I'm having a hard time with this because, I mean, you know, Donald Trump is trying to build more cars in America, and if that's the way you define Hitler as somebody who was responsible for the Volkswagen, then yeah, I guess he's Hitler. But if you concentrate on what's happening with the Jews, it's very, very clear whose side is on who. Which one is shouting River to the Sea, which means no Jews in Israel.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Two weeks ago, the son of a man who was a guest of the Democratic Party at the last state of the Union, his son, a flag-waving member of the communist socialist movement here in America, shot two innocents, two innocent Jews in the streets. Two weeks ago. In fact, he took the time to reload so he could finish the young lady off. She tried to crawl to safety. I try not to be angry, but I am passionate. I was mocked by the ADL in 2009 or 10,
Starting point is 00:09:52 maybe it was probably 2009 and 10, I was called a hate monger for spreading fear because I dare tell you that what the world witnessed on the streets of Germany in the 1930s would come again to our streets. Well, let me ask the ADL. Do you still wish me to remain silent? Because this is exactly what I warned about
Starting point is 00:10:22 and exactly what you called me a hate monger for pointing out. Gee, I'm sorry you don't have the vision needed to protect your own people, but it doesn't require an awful lot of vision, really. This story has been told over and over and over again. What are you saying now? What do you see coming now? Is this still Donald Trump you're really worried about? As bad as it is today, I warn you.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You haven't seen anything yet. And this time it is global. And mainly because you on the left, in all of your hotiness, all of your over-educated boobs, that try to preach to everybody about love and peace, have no idea how people actually work. You have cozied up to the very groups of people
Starting point is 00:11:27 that wish to destroy the Jew. And you have only made it worse. The hour grows late. And let me ask you, the Jew has been chased out of every country on earth. Always told to go back to where they come from. Well, they finally did, and now you want them out of there as well.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Where do they go? this time where does the Jew run? Where does the Jew hide? Please don't let this ancient evil grab your heart, please. This is an ancient evil, and if we do not start treating it as such, instead of something we can negotiate with, I promise you the Jews will only be the canary in the coal mine. And with AI on the event horizon,
Starting point is 00:12:37 there will be no place for the Jew or you to hide. No place. You know, the West isn't a direction on a compass. It's an idea. Fragile, but luminous idea. That all men are created equal. That laws matter. That borders matter.
Starting point is 00:13:16 That truth matters. But when we allow lawlessness in the name of compassion, when we let hatred, march unchallenged under the mask of tolerance? When we fail to enforce even the most basic boundaries of civilization, we're not being moral, we're being suicidal. How much longer will we ignore this? What will it take for all decent Americans to wake up? Must every town lose a synagogue? Must we have shootings and now firebombings on all of our streets and all of our cities? Must every grandmother who survived the ovens of Auschwitz
Starting point is 00:14:04 die in the flames of our indifference? When the people who came here because they were being persecuted for what they believed in, they said, we need to be a city on the hill to be the last great hope of man on earth. But cities burn when no one defends them.
Starting point is 00:14:51 When the watchmen abandons their post, when people forget their own hands. history when people forget who they are. This is not about politics. This is not about race. This is about civilization. And we either draw the line here or we will allow the fire to spread until there is no West left to defend. And it will only be then that the world will mourn and weep for the just decency that Western civilization has created. They will weep, but it will be too late. This time, let's not be the generation that remembers freedom only by the smell of its ashes.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Rise up, not in anger, but in spirit, in resolve. Please just remember. Remember who we are. Remember what we've tried to create. Remember what our principles are. Remember the truth. I saw a story today. said Biden, his administration, had ignored 7,000 warnings of child trafficking.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Seven thousand warnings. May a millstone be around the neck of all of those that turned a blind eye. When will we come together on our principles again? to protect the innocent, to actually enforce our own laws, to defend the vulnerable and call evil out by its name, before the fires consume all of us back in a minute. There's a sad little world hiding in your freezer right now. It's an abandoned half bag full of peas stuck together with,
Starting point is 00:18:00 frozen green brick and a mysterious Ziploc bag labeled Thanksgiving stuffing. I don't really know. Single pizza roll shriveled, curled into itself like a retired MMA fighter who's seen too much. These are the forgotten foods, the cold unloved survivors, the meals that never happen. And they're lonely. Because the one thing in your freezer that you should be full of, the thing that makes all of those other ingredients worth using is meat, good meat.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And that's where Good Ranchers comes in. Every cut they sell is 100% American raised on U.S. farms by U.S. ranchers and delivered right to your door. Steaks, chicken, seafood, all of it. Top, fresh, good quality, flash frozen for freshness, package so you'll never have to wonder what's inside

Starting point is 00:18:59 lock your free meat for life plus $40 off. That's good ranchers.com right now. Good Ranchers.com American Meat delivered. 10 seconds station. Well, the press kept calling this man allegedly a illegal immigrant. They also called him a white man. Of course, that's easy to call him a white man, sure. Mohammed Sabrey Solomon.
Starting point is 00:19:37 In the middle of a tirade about, Palestine, chanting and calling for the death of Zionists. They are killers. How many children have you killed? He said. And Zionists. He had a flamethrower with him in a couple of Molotov cocktails. He threw the cocktails at people. During an event, just calling for the release of Israeli hostages. I heard an interview with a girl that was there. she was LGBTQ. I don't know which one of the letters she was, but she was one of those letters.
Starting point is 00:20:26 She might have been a number. She might have been a two or a plus. I don't know. But she was saying how. She was there because you will not erase us. Have you ever had a brain cell that worked? Do you know anything at all about Israel? Do you know how open and welcoming Israel is to LGBTQ2 plus II?
Starting point is 00:20:55 X, Y, Z. You have any idea? Now let me ask you, have you done any thinking on how welcoming Hamas is to an L or a G or a T? Let alone a Q or a 2
Starting point is 00:21:13 or a plus. I can't take the stupidity. And I'm, look, I'm a self-educated guy. I, you know, I'm not. I'm not exactly the sharpest guy on the radio, and if you listen to this every day, you know. I'm not the smartest podcaster. I'm none of those things.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'm a guy who used to make fun of things, and I got into talk radio to make fun of talk radio. And then 9-11 happened, and I realized, I'm a moron. Did you just use the M-word? Yes. and I'm going to use the R word later on in the program. Sorry, CNN, if it offends your sensibilities. That's another story that got under my skin this weekend. And so I educated myself.
Starting point is 00:22:19 And I took and adopted a, made something a personal mantra of mine. Above all things when it comes to religion, fix reason firmly. in her seat for if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear. And I started by questioning God. And then I questioned everything. And I'm still questioning everything today. Unfortunately, well, at least early on in the day, I'm mainly questioning other people's stupidity and willingness to live in self-imposed ignorance at the expense of the rest of us. You have a responsibility to educate yourself, you moron. This is Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Now, see, I didn't set out to do that. I didn't set out to do that. That's not what Christ would have done. And I am way away from that. Let me tell you about leaf home gutters. Ever notice how the stuff that causes some of the biggest damage starts out is nothing. There's a few leaves, you know, in the gutter. A little summer debris after a storm, straight twig or two.
Starting point is 00:23:46 It doesn't look like much until your gutter backs up. Water starts pouring where it shouldn't. And then you're staring at a repair bill that makes you question every life choice you've ever made. Well, at least you weren't in Colorado marching with the morons. And if you live in a wildfire prone area, it gets even worse. dry, flammable debris just sitting up there waiting for a spark. This is why you should have leaf filter because this is what leaf filter does. The pros come out. They clean out your gutters. They realign them. They seal them.

So I want to just circle back on one thing.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Anybody who in the media who is intentionally avoiding, whether left or right, whether they are intentionally avoiding this story that happened in Colorado, and they just don't want to make a comment on it because it's too controversial. Be very careful of that individual. If this is too controversial, if they don't get it at this point, they're going to lead you astray. Anyone who is intentionally silent is a problem. anybody who is a podcaster or a broadcaster
Starting point is 00:25:53 and their job is to talk about politics, culture, and, you know, the global direction, if they're not making this a priority story, they're just dangerous in their stupidity, and you should not listen to them for great advice. because they just don't this is such a the last two weekends
Starting point is 00:26:23 this weekend and the well weekend before last when we have shootings of Jews in our own street if that isn't a beacon that you drop down you don't drop a pin on the map and say
Starting point is 00:26:39 we are here now you have no idea how to protect Western civilization. And this is not about the Jews. You know, I know a lot of people, you know, I think those Jews, you know, they run the banking system. Oh, shut up. It's not about the Jews. Jews will just be the first to go. They'll come for you. Well, I'm not going to come for me because I'm not doing anything wrong. You know, I'm not saying anything. I'm just not getting involved. Okay. Let me switch topics to somebody else who is just, you know, it's really strange.
Starting point is 00:27:31 There is somebody that is incredibly irrelevant. And I normally don't, I'm not bothered by irrelevant people because they're so irrelevant. But this guy is not only the king of irrelevancy, he drives me out of my mind. And that is, Tim Wals. The former governor and or the governor and the former vice presidential candidate Tim Wals, that guy, I don't know what it is. I, it's, it's that he is, it's a combination of stupidity. And I think inauthenticity, he's, he's, he has no idea how to be authentic.
Starting point is 00:28:22 because he's not authentic. And he's playing this little role, and then you couple that with his stupidity, and it just makes my head hurt, makes my soul just hurt a little bit for him. You know, I pity him. He was in South Carolina, and he was speaking to the Democrats, and, you know, this is the kind of advice you're getting now from Democrats. He said the Democrats need to be meaner.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And what he was doing was he was trying to, you know, get everybody in the Democratic Party to, during his keynote address, he was trying to get everybody, you know, really riled up. And he said, maybe it's time for us to be a little meaner, a little more fierce. I know because, you know, the setting the streets on fire, it just hasn't been enough, you know. marching in the streets, you know, from the river and the sea, which is causing the shootings of Jews. You know, that just hasn't been enough. I don't think you've been mean enough. You know, there are things that you could do. You could just start rounding people up and putting them in camps. You know, that might be a little meaner. He says, you know, the thing that bothers a teacher more than anything else is to watch a bully. And when it's a child, you talk to them, you tell them my bullying is wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:43 But when it's an adult like Donald Trump, you bully the S out of him. Oh, well, that's a good example for the kids. He also called Trump. Now, this is going to come as a surprise, a wannabe dictator. Donald Trump is the existential threat we knew was coming. Oh, wow. Okay, you got that one, and it really doesn't seem like it, but you missed the whole collapsing of the Western world.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Hmm. He said, we've got the guts and we need to have it pushed back onto the bullies and on the greed. And you should also have some fun and be joyful. This guy's a moron. Stu, am I alone in this? I don't know why. I don't even know why I pay attention to him because he's so incredibly irrelevant. He wants to run for president and he has as much chance of winning the nomination of president as Kamala Harris would have is she had to go through a primary.
Starting point is 00:30:43 I mean, there's no chance. this guy is going to win. No, and you're definitely not alone. In fact, I kind of have considered myself the president of the I can't stand Tim Wall's club over the years because he's so, it's not like he's a loser, Democratic, vice presidential nominee. Like, we didn't spend any time talking about Tim Kane after the Hillary Clinton campaign failed.
Starting point is 00:31:10 There's nothing to that at all. Like, he's just a guy and he was kind of boring. and we moved on with our lives. There's something, like, uniquely irritating about Tim Walls, the way he speaks, the way he tries to do this fake, tough guy act all the time. It's so annoying. Annoying. And it's not, it's, it's, I, you know, I've been reading all these books about the campaign.
Starting point is 00:31:37 And one of the things I've been fascinated about outside of the Biden mental decline stuff is, how on earth she picked him. Like, I can't comprehend how anyone could have thought that was a good idea. Oh, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. She was trying to get men to get back into the camp. And that's the understanding of the left of what a man is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:01 It's like, Tim Walls. Yes, it's like, you know, I don't know. Like, it's such a massive miss, right? Like, it's someone who's never met a man before. and is thinking like this is probably what they like. He said the word football before. He must be. And it's like he is,
Starting point is 00:32:23 it's like he's an alien, you know, that came down and he was like, here's how you be a man. It's just, it's just so weird. Anyway, he also went on to say,
Starting point is 00:32:34 the big beautiful bill. I used to teach fourth grade. I was going to say it sounded like something like a fourth grader would come up with, but that would be insulting. to my fourth graders. Ha, ha, ha, laugh ensues. Let me just play the audio now of Tim Wall saying, build back better.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Don't talk to me about bad names when you were doubting build back better. Yes, big beautiful bill, you know, Patriot Act, we get it. But the whole slogan for the left was build back better. Please. Please. The words aren't even in the right order, it feels like. He is just like, and it's interesting because I really did, I certainly hope, but also think he would go away forever after that. I mean, I think there's a, I don't know that it's actually true, but there's a legitimate case to be made that he cost them the win.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Like, it was, like, if that was a good pick, it could have done. been. I mean, like, if they went with, say, Josh Shapiro, a guy who's, you know, a little bit more in the middle, in a state that actually mattered, I don't think it would have made the difference. I think it would have been closer. Yes. But, you know, I don't think it would have won the, they may not have won the popular vote. I mean, Donald Trump may not have won the popular vote with Josh Shapiro. Maybe. Yeah, I think it really could have made the difference in a key Senate seat or two. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So that one, I mean, Pennsylvania, in particular, was probably the closest Senate race, if I remember right in that election. I mean, you didn't need much to, that one took like a month before they called it.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I mean, if you had Josh Shapiro on that ticket, at the very least, they probably get that Senate seat. And that would have been terrible for the country, sure. But like, and it's inexplicable. there's just nothing that you look at him and say, okay, I understand why on paper they picked that guy. He's terrible in every way. And the only thing that you could point to is that the far, far left seemed to like him on MSNBC
Starting point is 00:34:57 before and kind of during the ramp up of this process. But then even after they picked him, they basically realized immediately how offensive he was to everyone else on earth and didn't put him even on MSNBC throughout the campaign. So the one thing that they picked him for, they didn't even utilize.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I mean, it's incomprehensible. And by the way, we should also note Kamala Harris's own description of the day she picked Tim Walls was she was overtired. That's what she said about it. I mean, she's not a good decision maker anyway, but she said,
Starting point is 00:35:39 You know, when I made that pick, I was overtired. Well, yeah, we can all see that. Were you drunk, too? I mean, it was 8 a.m. I assume the answer to that is yes. But, like, that's about as understand, I can't come up with a comprehensive reason why they did it. I'm fascinated by that moment in history.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Well, they were busy ignoring things, Stu, at the time. And so they were probably ignoring that he was a huge fraud. The story that came out today, let me see who gave this, is from the Federalist. The Biden administration ignored or dismissed more than 65,000 reports related to migrant children, more than 7,300 reports of human trafficking. Of the reports, 56,591 were notifications of concern, 7,346,346,000. reports of human trafficking and 1,68 fraud leads. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:37:00 How I, I'm trying to, I don't, how are the Democrats standing up for all of these, I swear to you, if one of them stands up for this guy in Colorado, I'm going to lose my mind. How are they standing up for all these illegals and everything? You don't know who they are. And you ignored 7,346. reports of human trafficking, 6,500, sorry, 65,000 reports related to migrant children and you ignored them? How are you the compassionate ones?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Well, they're not. They're not. And it's becoming very, very clear. And what is their solution? Go back to Tim Walz. What's their solution? Because they're being exposed as, wait, your compassion is only getting, people killed.
Starting point is 00:37:59 It's not a good idea. I don't think you understand compassion. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. And so what are they saying? Hey, go out and have some fun and some joy. But we need to be meaner. We need to start bashing people.
Starting point is 00:38:17 The masks are almost entirely off of everyone on the left. And hopefully Americans will have the eyes and the rest. of the world will also have the eyes to see exactly what they're in bed with. All right, let me tell you about relief factor and Z factor.

They've heard that omega-3s are good for them. But the thing is, most people have no clue if their supplement is actually working. You kind of think about it. It's like, has your fish oil lowered your blood pressure? Has it helped with joint pain or stiffness?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Has it reduced any inflammation at all? For most people, the honest answer is no, or maybe? Which probably just means no. Regular fish oil has some omega-3s. It's true. But Native Path Antarctic. Crill oil takes it to another level. This is what makes it different.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Crill oil contains a powerful antioxidant that can produce real improvements, lower blood pressure, less joint pain, reduced inflammation. And Native Path is so confident you'll feel the difference. They're offering up to 66% off right now. Plus, you don't believe them, they got free shipping and a full 365-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through, which is kind of nice. The special offer is only available at native krill.com slash blaze. It's N-A-T-I-V-E-K-R-I-L-L-com.com slash blaze. Stop wondering if your supplement is working. Make the switch to something that actually delivers results. It's Native Path and Arctic krill oil because feeling better beats hoping you might feel better someday.
Starting point is 00:41:30 It's native krill.com slash blaze. Nativecrill.com slash blaze. Nativecryl.com slash blaze. I hate to say, I told you so. But remember I've been saying that all of the weapons that we currently have and are making and everything are going to be useless. And aircraft carriers are going to be, you know, the horse of World War I.
Starting point is 00:42:07 It's just going to be overwhelming. Did you see what happened in Russia this weekend with Ukraine? Ukraine, uh, they, they sent drones. way into Russia and hit 41 Russian heavy bombers, thousands of miles away from Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:42:30 The damage to their military is $7 billion. They wiped out, let me see if I was, I think it's a third. They hit, I can't find it now, but I think it's a third of the strategic air command. So all of the strategic nuclear bombers, you know, the ones that, you know, used to be kept running on tarmacs all around the world because we were close to nuclear war, those bombers, you know, are strategic air command. You imagine 30% of it being wiped out by drones in one attack? That's what's happening over in the Soviet Union and Ukraine. The next war, you don't want to fight the next war.
Starting point is 00:43:16 The next war is going to be terrifying. We pray for peace, but we're going to go over exactly what happened with this particular attack yesterday that is stunning. Next. And back. You know, in tech, there used to be a rule. You can have something better, faster, or cheaper, but you only get to pick two. If it's fast and cheap, it's not good. If it's good and cheap, it's not fast.
Starting point is 00:43:55 If it's good and fast, well, be ready to pay through the nose. But then came Oracle Cloud infrastructure. and suddenly the old rule started to look a little outdated. Big companies have already made the switch to OCI, and when you see, when they see what they're getting and what you'll see, you'll understand. Faster, absolutely. OCI's block storage handles more operations per second than you'll find with any other cloud providers.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Cheaper, up to 50% less for compute, 70% less for storage, and 80% for less networking. And better, test after test shows lower latency, higher bandwidth, rock solid performance, just keeps on coming. It is built for heavy lifting, for AI, for databases, any workload you can throw at it. And if you're tired of making tradeoffs, it might be time to rethink. It is the cloud built for AI and all of your biggest workloads. Right now, with zero commitment, try OCI for free. Head to oracle.com slash back. That's oracle.com slash back.
Starting point is 00:44:57 There's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus, it's the series. Stephen King calls scary as hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home.
Starting point is 00:45:36 From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Oh, America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I, uh, I gotta tell you. It's been quite a weekend. You know, between setting people on fire in Colorado, which is always a personal fave, uh, if you missed that monologue, pretty passionate one that every American shit should hear. You can get it on the podcast after the program, but make sure you grab the podcast today. There's a lot of important stuff, including what I have next.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Jason Buttrill is coming in, and Jason is, uh, our security expert, geopolitical expert, head writer and researcher for the Glenn Beck television program. And he and I were talking early, early this morning about what happened in Ukraine. This is game-changing. This is another one of those mile markers that you should notice. Oh, wow, we're here now. War is going to be absolutely nightmarish, the next war that is full. fought and it is getting very frightening in Ukraine and Russia.
Starting point is 00:47:50 And what happened over the weekend, I don't think is going to bring people to the peace table. We'll talk about that with Jason here in just a second. First, most people still think they've only got two options when it comes to self-defense. You either go unarmed and hope for the best, or you carry a firearm and deal with the legal, moral, and tactical burdens that come along with it. But Berna has changed that entire conversation because they're non-leithful. launcher gives you distance, gives you stopping power, and gives you peace of mind without the red tape or the life-altering consequences. The original burner launcher fires 0.68 caliber rounds, either kinetic impact or chemical irritant, an effective range of up to 60 feet.
Starting point is 00:48:35 And unlike other options, there's no background check, no permit required in this legal in all 50 states. You can carry them. Enforcement, private citizen security teams. They all use it because It works. And now they've made it even better. Meet the Burnah Compact Launcher. This thing is so small, it'll fit into a purse, a glove box, a cargo pocket, you name it. It's just six inches long and as strong as their standard models. Go to Burnah.com.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Use the retail store locator to find the nearest location, offering live demonstrations, including select sportsmen's warehouse stores. Burna Retail stores and authorized premier dealers. It's Burnah.com. Jason? Yes, sir. What caliber is 0.68? You ever heard of that?
Starting point is 00:49:20 Yeah. That's a big one. I've never heard of that. No, it's, I know, it is big, but I don't know how to, I mean, what would you, would you say? It's 0.68? Yeah. I mean, yeah, right? I'd never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Yeah. Anyway, so, how are you? Good. Thank you. Good. Yeah. Thanks for coming in. I, uh, I, I think what happened in Ukraine, uh, this weekend.
Starting point is 00:49:45 is kind of significant on the war front. A little bit. And signals to, I think, basically what I've been saying for, what, the last couple of years, I think, that the next war, you know, everything that we're building, stop building them because AI is going to change everything. Drones are going to change everything. Our aircraft carriers are just sitting ducks now.
Starting point is 00:50:12 What we saw happen from Ukraine, thousands of miles into the interior of Russia, is striking. Do you want to explain? Yeah, I mean, gosh, yes. You have been talking about what's coming for a very long time. If you think about it, you know, wars have always pushed technology, you know, things that were coming, but just push them out there faster than they probably would have before. You think about... War and pornography. Those are the drivers.
Starting point is 00:50:45 They are. They're the drivers of tech. War and pornography. Yeah, I mean, you know, we have satellite technology because of, you know, the invention of ICBMs and, you know, the need to dominate space. I mean, all of these things were pushed. I mean, you look at economic wars. You look at, you know, the oil wars, when oil prices were collapsing, there were a few
Starting point is 00:51:08 enterprising people in Texas that could not pay their workers anymore. So they were like, well, let's come up with these gigantic automated platforms so that we can frack and not have to pay tons and tons of money, you know, and start, you know, in operating costs. That came way before. I mean, people get ingenuitive. They think of these things and they push it beyond. You look at this attack. You talk about aircraft carriers. Ukraine effectively turned a semi-truck into a multi, you know, tens of, how much does it cost to build an aircraft carrier?
Starting point is 00:51:38 I don't even, I don't know. Billions, billions of dollars. Tons of money. They turned in a $20,000 semi-truck into an aircraft carrier. That's what we're looking at right now. Have you seen these videos of this attack? Yeah, let's play them. Let's do drone exits container first.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Can we do that one, please? What you're seeing is, oh my gosh, look at the sky. Coming out of these containers is just full of drones. It's like a, I mean, it's just, it's like a swarm of these. Okay. Dron flies over Russian bombers as they explode. Next one, please. This is showing that these are their strategic bombers.
Starting point is 00:52:27 This is, you know, like our strategic air command, you have to load with nuclear missiles if there's a war. They took out 30% of them. 30% of the strategic, we've never been able to do any. anything like that. Do you see the tires on those wings, Glenn? That's how big they are. So they have these tires right there, right there.
Starting point is 00:52:52 And that video right there, you see it's flying over. There's all these tires lined up on the wings. The reason why they did that is because they're trying to stop the targeting systems of these first-person drones, the Ukrainians employing en masse. So they put the tires on the wings so that it attempts to mask or confuse the AI in these in the targeting of these drones. They're trying everything they can think of to slow down this drone warfare.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Is it true, though? Oh my gosh, wait, wait, wait. So those little spots on the wing, that's how big that plane is. I know that's a big plane, but as you say that, and I'm looking, I see the spots on top of the wings and I'm like, those are tires?
Starting point is 00:53:31 Those are tires. Yeah, wow. Is it true that they had to control these from inside Russia, like nearby the sites, though? That's what the reporting I heard was, which is that they've had all these pilots apparently or drone pilots inside the country. Is that accurate?
Starting point is 00:53:47 I guess that's possible. They haven't, and that's an interesting point because they, Ukraine immediately, you know what, I'm going to stay away from, I'm going to start with this. I'm going to stay away from any of the BDA, the battle damage assessment on this, because I know the propaganda machines are going to be going insane on both sides. I don't want to get into another ghost of Kiev situation here.
Starting point is 00:54:05 So it could be as high as 40, you know, bombers. It could be as low as, I don't know, 10. Who knows? The point is, is that the name of the game changed this weekend. Completely changed. And the reason I think Zelensky is pushing this out and saying, yeah, we did it. I mean, Israel didn't even do that with the Hezbole-a-Beeper thing. They kept it close to the chest for a while, even though we all knew it was them. But they didn't give away everything right at the beginning. Ukraine is just saying, this is how we did it.
Starting point is 00:54:31 You know, we loaded up these drones. You saw those tractor trailers in the back of the semi-trucks. It was remotely opened. And then, if they were in Russia or back in Ukraine, who? who knows where, and then they remotely took the drones up and sent them out in swarms like an aircraft carrier. This happened. Everything changed. But the reason they put that out there is because this is also now a big psychological thing with Russia. Now they don't even know if they can trust any cargo coming into or container. Anything. They're everywhere those things. Right. This goes way beyond. Gang, gang.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Can we, can we not? Can we, can we, let me just reset this. Stu, what came to mind when you said, were they controlling them from inside? We don't know what's in our country. We don't know who came across our border. These things could be in our country today. I mean, this is something that, I mean, the whole world is about to change. And it just did this weekend.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Let me play one more here. Dron truck detonates as man enters. Let's see this one. Yeah. So was that? What was that? Self-destruct. Was that...
Starting point is 00:55:51 Self-destrued. That was self-destruct so they don't capture the vehicle or examine anything inside. So you had someone remotely opening it. You had remotely piloting the swarms out. Then after the job was done, they remotely did a self-destruct and detonated the delivery vehicle. It's amazing. Really is. This is Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Right. Right. Right. I mean, you know, Ukraine in the middle of a war. for a long time. This is Ukraine. This is not even like the high, like, what do we have? What does China have? I would assume it's even more advanced, right? They're not saying this is us that help them with this either, right? Okay. So yes, we have the capability. I don't know if we've been thinking along these lines. Now, which is very dangerous. Of course not. No, I mean, if you go to,
Starting point is 00:56:41 and the word is out there, you can look all at, interestingly enough, we would have been planning a show on this, on TV to show how things are progressing in Ukraine. They had... It was going to be last week. It was supposed to be last week. Pretty insane. But they, I mean, I had these videos, like random bloggers and stuff are like, so we're on the front lines of the new drone warfare program and there are multiple like secret locations
Starting point is 00:57:04 in Ukraine where they have full on remotely powered vehicles that are leading the charge. Not, you know, armored mechanized units. That's not happening. They're sending in these drones on the ground. Then they send in another wave of drones through the air. I mean, you're not seeing... You remember when this war started out, everyone was criticizing the Russians. They were like, how'd this happen?
Starting point is 00:57:26 Well, because the Russians were going in like World War II. They were going in and mechanized units. These big bulky tanks, they were getting knocked out. That is not how warfare is going to happen going forward. It's just not. Everything is changing right now. And it's being a test drive right now in Eastern Europe. It's scary.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Is that good or bad? That is the... I honestly am asking that question because I don't know. I don't know. Part of me thinks that like that this type of thing might end up really lowering body counts, right? If everyone's fight... I mean, it's the Star War. I know this argument was made in Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:58:16 I'm aware of it. But like there's an argument that if drones are killing drones, like that's maybe a better place than where we've been over the past century where it's people that are doing all the dying. I want a T-shirt because with what you just asked, because that is the question of our times. Is that good or is that bad? We can insert the question into every AI discussion that we have. Everything.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Everything. Everything. Everything. The trade, is that good or is that bad? I think when you look at modern warfare, it always ends to the, in my mind, it goes to the same conclusion that the war planners of World War II had when they created the nuclear bomb. It's, you know, before you look at World War I, it was, you know, massive body. counts on both sides, just take out troops. Then in World War II, they were like, well, let's take out industrial centers. So then let's deplete the enemy's ability to wage war by hitting
Starting point is 00:59:25 it where it starts. Now, the problem is, or where it's manufactured, the problem is that's where the city centers are. So that's where the civilians are. So eventually, after you've gotten through all this drone warfare, you know, militaries are decimated on the battlefield, eventually you have to go to where they produce the drones, where they, you know, commanding. command and control. That is what Vladimir Putin and his security council are sitting around the table right now. They're thinking, okay, where are these things being produced? Where are they being trained? Where are they learning to do these things? Where are they pushing the button to do these things? Usually those are in cities, which is a very bad thing. And Russia does have the ability to
Starting point is 01:00:04 counter that if he wants to go that far. That's where we're inching closer towards. Well, they're saying this was a $7 billion loss. I know this is, you know, could be propaganda, but they're saying this is a $7 billion loss. You don't lose $7 billion of strategic air command and not respond. Oh, yeah. I mean, this, this is not going to drive them to the peace table. And that's the interesting question. Coincidentally, they're meeting today. The meeting today. And like, and so what I have heard in some of the coverage is that this was intentionally done before this, right? Like, like to basically say, I mean, in a way to say that we do have cards, right?
Starting point is 01:00:45 The old, like, you guys don't have any cards to play. Well, we do have cards. That's what they're trying to bring up into this negotiation point. Essentially, we're not coming from a place of weakness. Yeah, but how do you, that's a really good point. But how do you, as Vladimir Putin, address your people and say, hey, we just made peace after they just took down 30% of our strategic bombers? I don't see how you can.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I don't either. Yeah, and that narrative is kind of crap to me because Russia, I think on the same day or the day before, sent its largest drone arsenal themselves, I think, to date, inside Ukraine. Like 500 drones. It's not like they're doing it. My assumption with Russia, though, is that they don't actually want this, right? Like, they're walking down this road of peace talks, but, like, in reality, they, you know, this isn't, they have not shown a lot of interest.
Starting point is 01:01:38 in actually solving this, I don't think. Ukraine, I think, is in another position where I think they'd like it to be over, but the terms that are there, they don't like. So I don't know that either side really wants this to end at this moment. Yeah, in my mind... Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Starting point is 01:01:53 I've got to take a break, and then we'll pick this conversation up because there's a lot more to talk about. So stand by. First, let me tell you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. Why is it, after everything, the world still hates the Jews so much?
Starting point is 01:02:05 I mean, they're not to have any of them. What is your deal, world? Israel defends itself. The world calls it evil. Terrorist murder, innocence, and the world looks away. Now, in America, someone throws fire bombs into a pro-Israel crowd that is peaceful in Colorado. The hate. It's not just there anymore.
Starting point is 01:02:27 What I said would come in 2009, 2010, it's here. In light of this tragic event, the ongoing conflict in Israel, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews continues to provide critical support to those affected. They deliver food, medicine, shelter to Israel's most vulnerable, including Holocaust survivors and families living in war zones. God help us. I hope that we don't have to start directing funds and help here in America. This has got to stop. your support can make a difference by standing with the fellowship you're sending a message that will not only
Starting point is 01:03:11 not only hit everybody over in Israel but it should hit everybody that you're not going to stand idly by while Jewish people are snuffed out again your gift of only $45 will help support their life-saving work by helping food, shelter and so much more get over to Israel
Starting point is 01:03:30 the Bible says I will bless those who bless you support I have It's a spiritual stand. It's showing up for God's people when it counts. Please, call 888-48-48-8-48-4-8-4-8-4-325 or online at IFCJ. I'm going to be doing a fundraiser for them tomorrow in West Palm. I leave here today to make sure I'm there for them. Every dollar helps.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Don't wait. Be the difference. Visit IFCJ.org. IFCJ.org 888-48-88-48-IFCJ. 10 seconds. Station ID. Jason, you are going to respond on what else is coming and what's happening. Yeah, in my mind, I think that both, this is kind of piggybacking off what Stu was saying, is I think both countries wanted to show a very big, or make a very big statement,
Starting point is 01:04:33 and, you know, going into these peace talks. And I think that one of them wanted to sit at the table and say, this is what you're looking at, been to our version of what's written down here, you know, in these listed demands. Well, Russia didn't expect Ukraine to respond the way they did, so now they both have a pretty strong packet of demands. And I think right now they're hovering around. Both of them want to end this war.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Both sides do. It's not good for either side. And now they're looking at how do we come out of this and make it look like that we won so we can tell our people, hey, this was all, you know, this all tilted in our favor. And they don't want to look, they don't want to be embarrassed, specifically on Putin's side. So right now, they're going to go through that multiple different times. This is going to be a long process. At times, some of them are going to stand down.
Starting point is 01:05:17 up and say, I'm done with this, they walk away. They're probably going to come back to the table a week later. But the cool thing is, this is actually happening. They're actually sitting down and talking to each other. Even after this weekend, they're still going to talk to each other. That was not happening a couple years ago. That's a big improvement. Big improvement. So tell me about the troops on the border of Finland that have just been moved in. They're mobilizing troops there. Do you know anything about that, Jason? Some interesting movements in Europe in general. Germany actually deployed, I think, a 5,000 troop deployment, I believe, to Lithuania, not because the EU told them to do that, not because NATO told them to do that,
Starting point is 01:05:58 Germany, who does not like to move troops because the history is not so great for them when they deploy in Europe. They moved. I didn't think they could have troops. It's actually something huge that the media hasn't been talking about, but they did that, which I think is part of the Donald Trump leadership and saying, look, you need to be able to police your own neighborhood. But there are a lot of troop movements going around Europe right now. And I actually think that that's a good thing. I think that them taking more of an active role in showing deterrence and not just relying on us is a positive. Well, it's a good thing for us, perhaps. I don't like it when Europe mobilizes in Russia and Germany is sending troops across borders. I've seen this movie. It didn't
Starting point is 01:06:41 work out well the first or second time. But maybe that's just me. All right, Jason, can you hang for just a second? I'd like to talk to you just a little bit about the future of warfare and what you see coming because these drones change absolutely everything. And with AI, I mean, war is just not going to be the same. We'll do that when we come back. Stand by.
Starting point is 01:07:12 This is Glenn. So every family has a box or a closet or drawer, stuff with old tapes and photos or, you know, film reels, moments frozen in time, birthdays, vacations, grandpa stories. You know, your kids, when they were small, still small enough to carry are captured in those frames or in that videotape. And they are literally fading. They're falling apart. Tape degrades.
Starting point is 01:07:43 photos fade, machines break, and once they're gone, they are gone. That's why I love what Legacy Box does. They make it very easy to preserve your family's history. You have to be the historian for your family, and here's how it works. First, I send you a kit with a prepaid shipping label and barcode stickers for each item. You pack up your tapes, your films, your photos, whatever, and you ship it. You ship it to them. They're here in America, over 200 technicians. They hand digitize everything in their facility in Tennessee. They provide up to 12 email updates so you know exactly where your memories are in the process. And when they're done, you get back the originals, plus all the digital copies on the cloud or a thumb drive or DVD,
Starting point is 01:08:24 ready to share, stream, and enjoy forever. So go there now. I want you to go to legacybox.com slash records. Legacybox.com slash records get 50% off today. Jason Butrell is with us, and he is our chief researcher and world strategic affairs and looks into, the military and everything that's happening. We've been talking about what happened in Russia with the drones that changes warfare entirely. I mean, if that's not a glimpse into the future, I don't know what is. If that doesn't wake you up, I talked to or read an article from Jamie Diamond this weekend. He was at the Reagan National Economic Forum in California.
Starting point is 01:09:23 And he said, and I'm going to give you more of this either later today if we have time or tomorrow. But he said, we should be stockpiling guns, bullets. tanks, planes, drones, rare earths, we need to do it. We know we need to do it. It's not a mystery. The military guys will tell you there's a war in the South China Sea. We have whitt missiles for seven days. But I have to tell you, I mean, he goes into some of the most frank speech of anybody I have heard in a long time, especially in business, telling us exactly what is coming our way.
Starting point is 01:09:59 and I think he's right. But on that, I mean, I don't know about stockpiling planes, maybe bullets, and drones, but I don't think the next war is not going to be fought with aircraft carriers and tanks. I think it's all going to be drones, little teeny things, just overwhelming a system. Do you agree with that, Jason, or not? I agree, but I think that the initial salvo between great powers, like, say, China and Russia, or China, the U.S. would be probably cyber just to kick things off. That would be the opening salvo.
Starting point is 01:10:35 And then non-conventional type attacks like these drone strikes that will cause devastating impact, that will equal the type of impact that, say, a nuclear weapon would. And the fact that it's very targeted or it knocks out an industry, that's how they can use. You know, when we were looking into doing this show, which we're still going to do. But on one day, China announced to the world their new aircraft carrier, in air quotes. It was a gigantic drone airplane that its entire purpose
Starting point is 01:11:05 was to hover over an area and then launch hundreds of little first-person drones just like what was used. Now, I was like, oh my gosh, I started looking into if we had anything similar.
Starting point is 01:11:17 The only person that was thinking like this was Palmer Lucky and his Endural Defense company. The only person... You know, I've been trading emails with Palmer lately and we're going to have,
Starting point is 01:11:30 that's why we delayed this show, because I really want him to be part of that show. And we just haven't aligned things yet. But Palmer is way ahead, way, way, way ahead. And, you know, he, he says that he's kind of like the opposite of Tony Stark and that Tony Stark was in weapons
Starting point is 01:11:48 and then got out of weapons. And he's like, I wasn't in weapons. I was in, you know, entertainment and tech. And I'm going into weapons because I think what's coming is just horrendous, and we have to be on top of it. Thank God. How much do you know about what he's doing?
Starting point is 01:12:05 I know. I know. What do you know about what he's doing? He's got a very interesting company. He's not like your typical defense contractor, where defense contractors will bid and say, hey, we've got this concept, and we want to build this for the U.S. government. And the government says, okay, well, here's five gazillion dollars, see if you can make it work. His company doesn't work that way.
Starting point is 01:12:24 His company dreams these things up in a lab somewhere, like Taco bell, you know, making a caeserito and says, we don't have a concept of the caserito. Here's the caserito. And so right when I was looking up this drone ship from the Chinese, almost the exact same day or week, his company announced like through 60 minutes this drone completely autonomous fighter jet. So if you can think about it, like there'd be like an F-22 flying into combat. He would have, this pilot would have like four of Palmer Lucky's autonomous vehicles that would fly out ahead of. them all coordinated through AI and also the pilot and they go out kind of like in swarms
Starting point is 01:13:04 ahead of the aircraft now we're getting somewhere now we're thinking outside the box a little bit but the scary thing is I don't see anybody else thinking in those terms they're thinking way too conventionally and if we go into a war I mean it's being the tests are being run right now in Eastern Europe they're gathering data they're seeing what works what doesn't work and how they can wage a war like this if we're not taking intense notes, we're screwed. Absolutely screwed. This is Germany in World War II, where they mastered the submarine, and they just started taking things out. This is World War I, you know, the armies of the world sending in horses with Germans having tanks. Boy, I'm noticing a theme here with the Germans,
Starting point is 01:13:51 but I mean, we cannot be the country that sends in the horses. and doesn't understand the effect of the submarine. These drones are tanks and submarines of today, and they will just annihilate us. I mean, those aircraft carriers, you send enough drones out, and you don't have the ability to protect those aircraft carriers. They're gigantic sitting targets.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Yeah. And you're talking thousands of people on board. I mean, it would be horrendous if you took out a couple of aircraft carriers. Right. And look at the cops. breakdown I mean like we said earlier it costs billions of dollars to produce one of these aircraft carriers and all the lives that are involved with it an aircraft carrier in the sky of 200 first-person drones that cost what 300 bucks a piece
Starting point is 01:14:44 if you would have tried to say in conventional warfare let's take out 30% of strategic air command of Russia how difficult would that have been and how How expensive would that have been in lives as well? I mean, I mean, just a planet. I don't even think you could even plan it because you would be using, you know, like missiles or planes that would have to go through, you know, their air defense network that you would, you would lose probably three quarters of your forces just to get to the point to where you can attack them.
Starting point is 01:15:17 And they would launch if we launched missiles. Right. They would launch back. We would lose so much. Here's Ukrainians on the back of a truck taking a third. third of their strategic air command out. Holy cow. All over the country, too.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Like in areas like the Arctic Circle. Yeah. Right. Like deep inside the country. These were not like a border like areas only. This is everywhere. They were able to get these things all over the country. But I think open borders is a good idea.
Starting point is 01:15:54 I mean, I think we should start checking Harvard to see if They have a, you know, a how to build drones and destroy America 101 at Harvard University because they may be doing that. I mean, we've got so many people in our country that, I mean, look at the guy this weekend with just the Molotov cocktails. Imagine with somebody that's not that well funded. I mean, honestly, we probably ourselves could have funded what happened in Ukraine. Don't know if, you know, we would have been the ones to pull it off. but we could have funded it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Probably wasn't that expensive in comparison. Right. Certainly to what it, the damage it did. Right. We don't know if it was as large as the propaganda says, but still. And a big part of this supposedly was these people were actually in the country flying them. Now, I don't know if that's accurate. That could be part of the sort of intimidation tactic.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Like we have people all over your country. Though they did say right after the event, everyone who flew them was already out of Russia, which seems really unlikely to me if they actually were there in the first place. But still, it adds to it. And, you know, I would assume Russia's border with Ukraine, it's a little more difficult to cross than ours from Mexico right now. So, you know, these things are obviously possible even here. So I was going to say, so many things will have changed after this weekend.
Starting point is 01:17:23 I haven't even, I was making a list, and we can't even really fathom. But at this point, I mean, even take a look at some of these bases that were hit. How did Ukraine know where all their strategic bombers were going to be? Well, before you think that, you know, there were some crazy shenanigans going on with intelligence sharing or whatever, well, no. Pretty much everyone knows where every nuclear power strategic bombers are, because that's in nuclear treaties. They have to be at certain bases. They have to be observable. Sometimes that manifests and you've seen pictures of a ton of like B-W-W-W-W.
Starting point is 01:17:57 or B2 bombers just sitting out on a tarmac somewhere. Well, that's because it's mandated by nuclear treaty. So everyone knew where these bombers were going to be. That was not a secret. Are nuclear powers now going to rethink that? Are they going to stop letting everyone know where they're... I mean, we haven't even gotten into it. But these are some of the things that are changing in real time right before our eyes.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Treaties will change. Warfare will change. Everything is about to change. How long before it's used against us internally? I mean, by not necessarily even a foreign power, but just by, you know, radicals? I mean, that's clearly on how fast do you think China wants to retake Taiwan, probably. I think that would probably be the biggest flashpoint. Everything will, you know, kind of go downhill from there.
Starting point is 01:18:49 But if you're looking at, I mean, I've seen some people try to guess around 2030, you know, that that could be a moment where they really start ramping that up. up. We're not going to let that happen. So, I mean, this is on the horizon. I hope cooler had to do prevail, and there's other deterrence that pop up where there's still time, but you're looking at a very small time frame, for sure. I'm working on some things. And I, last week, I think I shared some of this with you, that I put into ChatGPT and GROC some things and said, how long does this last without any problems, without war, without, you know, power grid going out, without Taiwan, any of that stuff? Without that, how long does this last? And both GROC and GPT came up with almost exactly the same time frame of around 2030 is when it just all falls apart and you can't hold it together anymore. Interesting year, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I know it is, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, pops up everywhere. But, you know, you look at that and then you think what some radicals could do in our own country with drones. I mean, imagine you hit just a few strategic areas of power stations in the United States. You hit infrastructure of highways, bridges, et cetera, et cetera. You could do that. This weekend proved you could do that and you could do it cheaply and effectively. that happens, the entire nation changes, the whole world changes. If I may, let me quote Jamie Diamond again.
Starting point is 01:20:34 We need to get our act together. And we should probably be doing that. I don't know, let's start today. All right, back in just a second. Jason, thank you so much. Some people thought the fight was over when Roe v. Wade was overturned, but here's the truth. no one wants to say this out loud, but it's true.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Abortions in America went up last year, not down, up 1% higher than the year before. This is an illness. This is not a policing thing. This is an illness. It really is. We've gone mentally insane. You know, that this is what this actually means. It means over 100,000 more babies lost on top of the nearly one million.
Starting point is 01:21:20 were already being aborted annually. In total, we're talking about an estimated 138,100 unborn children who never had the chance to take a breath, to be held, to grow up. This is why preborn exists. In the places where abortions happen most, they partner with a network of clinics that offer women free ultrasounds and compassionate care, no strings attached. Just it's compassionate.
Starting point is 01:21:46 When a mom sees her baby and hears that heartbeat, her chance of choosing life doubles. Last year, that simple approach, that loving approach, helped save 67,000 babies. Your monthly support of $28 makes this mission possible. Life is sacred. Life is eternal. To donate, just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.
Starting point is 01:22:06 That's pound 250 keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slashback. That's preborn.com slashback, sponsored by preborn. The media is peddling slop these days. Better stay sharper. You might end up taking it on the chin. Well, that's just nasty. Glenn Beck is back in a sec.
Starting point is 01:22:38 We've been talking a lot about nightmares here on the program today. Consider this one. You get a call from a bank demanding payment on a loan that you never took out. They claim that your house is collateral. You think it's a mistake, whatever, until you discover that someone actually now owns your property on paper. Welcome to 2025, where AI has made document for a jury easier than, than ever. These days, online criminals target home equity with laser precision because the internet is their playground and they know exactly what they're doing. They create fake signatures that fool
Starting point is 01:23:09 experts. They produce counterfeit notary stamps that look authentic. And for less than 50 bucks in filing fees, they transfer your property into their name. You wouldn't even think it would be possible to do something like this, but it is happening right now across the country. And the brilliance of this scam, if you want to call it that, is its utter and complete invisibility. Most homeowners don't even know that this is going on. Why would they? Why would you be checking your home's title? You wouldn't. This blind spot, though, has become a great weakness for people. And you know, by the time victims discover this is going on, criminals have borrowed hundreds of thousands against their equity. County clerks process these documents like routine paperwork. And there's
Starting point is 01:23:48 not really like verification calls or anything like that. It's an assumption that these thieves are exploiting. Technology is changing the world. Don't let it change the name on your home's title. go to home tidaloc.com. Use the promo code Blaze. Hometitelock.com. Protect yourself with the promo code Blaze. So this falls into the, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Donald Trump has signed an executive order saying that all of the administration, all of the government needs to work together and they need to start compiling and tearing down the walls of information between each section. and Elon Musk was helped leading all of this and then Palantir, which is a Peter Thiel company, has just been engaged. And what they're doing is they are, some are saying that this is a data collection of a massive scale. And it is going to give a private company, Palantir, access to. to private citizens data and that this is just a massive spy op.
Starting point is 01:25:14 I don't honestly know. It could be. Ricky, see if we can get Peter Thiel on. You know, I'd love to talk to him about this. And also, have you seen the video of him talking about the end of days and that we should probably look at the Bible and go, well, maybe, because AI seems to fit all of the tools used by the Antichrist? Peter Thiel is saying that, which is very odd, but he's, he's interesting.
Starting point is 01:25:48 He's interesting on what, you know, everything, like I said, everything is changing. I don't know what the world's going to be like in five years. Yeah, it's another one of those weird moments where, like, you, AI is similar in that we have to root for our side to win the battle, right? When it comes to data, for example. They don't want to. Right. Like we, because if it's not like we don't get to these places. I don't think there's a way to reverse it.
Starting point is 01:26:14 So you want the United States to be the one who understands how to do this stuff better than everybody else. You want them to be able to get more data than everybody else. You want them to be able to have better drones than everybody else. But on the other hand, like this advance pushes us into places. I don't know that we're really ready for. I know. And Christy Noem came out this weekend and she said, I think it was Christy, that said she wants to tighten the bonds between the CIA and Homeland Security because we need to find out how people are being radicalized. You know, it's really, you don't need a study.
Starting point is 01:26:51 May I give you a million dollar study for, you know, free? People are being radicalized because they feel their government is lying to them, abusing them, not listening to them, taking their money, holding them down, and supporting them. and supporting all the things that they don't agree with. I think that's how people are getting radicalized. And I give that to you as my free gift, United States government. There it is. And now you don't need a study.
Starting point is 01:27:20 You can send me a million dollars, which would still be about $900 billion less than what you're probably going to spend up on a study and probably come up with least effective results. I want to talk to you about Ammo Square if you are a shooter or, you know, marksman or a, you know, hunter, you know, one of the things that you always, you know, do I have enough ammo? Do I have enough ammo? Well, how am I on ammo? And then usually you only really go out and get more ammo if there's a shortage or something, price increase. And that sucks. If you are a shooter, you need ammunition. There's a way to build your ammunition situation into a better way of gaining it. build a smart automated monthly system through Ammo Squared. You pick up your calibers, your budget, how often you want to stock up.
Starting point is 01:28:13 They do all the rest. You just go to Ammosquared.com. It's like a subscription box only for gourmet, you know, not for gourmet candles or flavor jerky, but for something that, you know, you actually need. Stockpiling ammunition. Easiest way to stay prepared, Ammosquared.com. Amosquared.com. Well, I don't know about you, but I saw a story come out of CNN this weekend.
Starting point is 01:29:36 upsetting it's called the R slur yeah the R slur apparently the R word is being renormalized now and they're very upset about it at CNN and the article started with editors note this article features language that may be hurtful to readers if you're hurt by my words you shouldn't be here okay you're not an adult enough to be able to handle life let alone a podcast but I'm gonna use some, I'm going to use the R word and set the record straight here for CNN in 60 seconds. So stand by, first Patriot mobile. Imagine two families living in the same zip code, sharing the same face, same values,
Starting point is 01:30:20 even attending the same church on Sundays. First family has been with their phone company for years, and it works, and it's, you know, it's familiar, and they haven't ever really given any thought. After all, it's just a phone company, right? But what they don't know is that every month, a portion of that bill is quietly funding groups that promote abortion, backed politicians who oppose religious liberty, pouring into causes that undermine the very principles that they and their family hold dear. The second family, well, they took a moment to look closer and what they found led them
Starting point is 01:30:52 to Patriot Mobile. It has the same nationwide coverage, but their money is not going to work against those families. It's supporting pro-life organizations, helping veterans and first responders and backing candidates who actually stand for the Constitution. Two families, two phone bills. One of them is helping push back against insanity while the other is funding it without even knowing it. Which family are you? Make the switch today.

Promo code Beck, PatriotMobil.com slash back 972. Patriot. On an April episode of the Joe Rogan experience, The host used a slur within the first 45 seconds of the show. Quote, the word retarded is back,
Starting point is 01:31:42 and it's one of the great cultural victories, Rogan said with a laugh in the April 10th episode of his Uber popular podcast. Probably spurred on by podcast, he said. A few months earlier on January 6th, Elon Musk used the word retarded in a response to a Finnish researcher who called Musk the largest spreader of disinformation in human history. Use of the slur more than doubled on X, the platform Musk owns,
Starting point is 01:32:10 and in two days after that, the January post, more than 312,000 subsequent post made on X in that span contained the word retarded. Now, this is according to the co-author, Bon Benton, a professor of communication at the University of New Jersey.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Since Musk's January post, the online prevalence of the R-word is absolutely getting worse. The resurgence of the R-word is symptomatic of a graver problem. The apparent death of empathy, says another professor at American University, who has studied how the far-right uses tech to grow its influence. The R-word has really never gone away, she said. Many people still use it in private, and the controversial far-right influencer and some members of the former dirtbag left podcast scene use it for many years to rile up followers and appeal to edgy comedic styles. Now listen to this.
Starting point is 01:33:12 CNN writes, the R word initially was meant to replace words that had become pejoratives. Introduced in 1885, mental retardation became the preferred term among psychologists supplanting the diagnosis labeled imbecile or moron or feeble-minded. This is according to a clinical associate professor in disability and human development at the University of Illinois of Chicago. The R-word intended to be a neutral term, but people with disabilities were then largely discarded
Starting point is 01:33:40 and treated as lesser members of society, regularly institutionalized in dangerous environments and even forcibly sterilized without their consent. Who would do such a thing like that, CNN? Okay. When disability is framed as a lack, according to one of these researchers, when disability is framed as a lack, a limitation, or a loss.
Starting point is 01:34:07 It reinforces the idea that people with disabilities are inherently incapable. And this framing is used to justify their existence, their exclusion from everyday life as if they're missing what it takes to participate. Okay. Now let me tell you the truth. The word handicapped. What does that mean? It means that you're unable to do things that most people can do, okay?
Starting point is 01:34:36 That you have a disability, an inability to do something that most people can do. Like, for instance, most people can walk upstairs. Some people can't. Who can't do that? The handicapped can't. Hurtful. Hurtful. Because it says there's limitations.
Starting point is 01:34:56 Okay. So we don't want to use the word handicap. and we build ramps for the handicapped now, but now we don't. We don't build those ramps. Well, how do they get into buildings? Well, they still get into ramps, but these are handicapable ramps.
Starting point is 01:35:11 Oh. Well, that changes everything, except when the word handicapped to everyone, then the progressives will come out and say, you can't use the word handicapable. That means that they have a lack of ability to walk upstairs.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Yes, you'll see in no time at all, you'll see the word handicapped means the same thing is handicapped because you're describing somebody who cannot walk up the stairs, therefore we have to build a ramp for them. Yet now progresses because you have shamed and forced everyone to adopt your stupid language, which is trying to stop the language that you introduced the time before last. you shamed everybody. Now, handy capable is worse because anyone who uses that word and insists on anyone else using it appears to be not only
Starting point is 01:36:10 handy nor capable but really kind of more, dare I say it, retarded because you're asking everybody to deny that they can't walk upstairs. Words are the danger, you know. That's the real, that's the real threat to our decency and to our values, is somebody using the wrong term.
Starting point is 01:36:36 If you say the word retarded or call yourself a moron for doing something dumb, you're perpetuating harm. Am I? This is the progressive playbook stuck on repeat. Okay? So let's take a back. Let's take a step back here, not in rhetoric, but in history. Shall we do that? Because this isn't about what you say in frustration.
Starting point is 01:37:00 It's about what was done by scientists, by college professors, in laboratories, in hospitals, in courtrooms, you know, by people who are much, much smarter than you, the average person. They did this to people who were stripped of their humanity by men who believed they could fix the human race. Who are those people? They were the progressives of the early 20th century. Now let's just stop in California, the most enlightened place on earth. Let's go back to the early 20th century. It wasn't Mississippi, it's not Alabama.
Starting point is 01:37:41 This is the land of golden progressivism, the land of innovation. At the tippy, tippy top of that cultural mountain stands Stanford University, the crown jewel of all modern thought. Well, at Stanford, Lewis Terman, the man who created the Stanford-Bennett IQ test believed intelligence was hereditary. He believed people with low IQs were not just slower, but they were dangerous.
Starting point is 01:38:10 They were a threat to society. And he labeled them with words like moron, imbecile, and retarded. They were scientific terms because they came from a very esteemed professor at Stanford University. They were clean, they were neutral, they were necessitated. but behind that scientific veneer was a horrifying machine of control. Then also at Stanford was a guy named David Starr Jordan, the founding president of Stanford. He was a man of vision.
Starting point is 01:38:40 He helped form the Human Betterment Foundation, a group that lobbied for and celebrated the forced sterilization of people deemed unfit because they were morons or imbeciles or retarded. And sterilized they did. Over 20,000 people in California alone, mostly women, mostly poor, many of them immigrants, many of them black, indigenous, or Mexican. They were labeled retarded or feeble-minded, mentally defective, all clinical words used as instruments of violence. People were taken into institutions, their reproductive organs were removed permanently
Starting point is 01:39:19 by the state of California and many other progressive states. sometimes with consent, often without it, but they were too stupid to really understand anyway. And if you think it ended there, no, no, it really didn't. The Nazis were watching. German doctors and bureaucrats studied California's eugenics laws. They admired the efficiency of all of it. They admired how we turned science into policy.
Starting point is 01:39:47 That we used labels like unfit so we could sterilize people out of the gene pool. They read the publications of the Human Betterment Foundation. They invited California eugenesis to Germany. They used our model to build the foundation of their own final solution. Wait, Germans got them from California? Yes, yes. Stanford University. So let me be clear here.
Starting point is 01:40:15 The danger was never in what a kid said on the playground. The danger was never the word retarded. The danger is in the system. Built by progressives, built by doctors and scientists and reformers who believe they can fix all the mankind by controlling who was allowed to reproduce, deciding who's fit to live freely and who wasn't. You see, this is what progressivism does. It forgets human nature. It ignores the soul. It all starts with good intentions.
Starting point is 01:40:49 Oh, let's help the poor. Let's improve education. Let's solve mental illness. But it always ends the same way. Cold, brutal calculation. It ends with the state deciding that some people are beyond fixing. And once you believe that, well, the next step is elimination. Anybody who didn't take the COVID vaccine, do you remember what they were saying?
Starting point is 01:41:10 We need to re-educate them. They're too dangerous. We need to re-educate them. Maybe we should put them in camps. Australia did it. That's what progressivism. does. So what's the solution? Well, we just have to ban words. We have to pretend that language is the problem. Uh-huh. No, the problem was and is and always will be the ideology that weaponizes science,
Starting point is 01:41:44 dehumanizes the vulnerable, and says, well, the ends justify the means. You know, it's, it's moral all along. I mean, as long as we, you know, we're fixing humans. By the way, just so you know, these names are known to people who go to Stanford. Stanford still has buildings and honors bearing these names. They still celebrate the legacy of men who stood up for cleansing of the gene pool, who said, trust the experts. They're the experts. And what they gave us was sterilization, segregation, and a blueprint for genocide at Stanford University.
Starting point is 01:42:24 So you want to talk about dangerous words, CNN? Things that might offend your delicate sensibilities. It's not the word retarded. It's the word progressivism, coupled with science, coupled with control of government. That's what it is. You want a word that should offend you? It's progress when it's untethered from morality. It doesn't heal. It destroys.
Starting point is 01:42:56 The word wasn't and never is the crime. The crime was committed in silence, in surgical rooms, in files labeled unfit. And the people who committed it called themselves compassionate, just like the progressives do today. Lather, rinse, repeat. Lather, rinse, repeat. They called themselves scientific. They called themselves the greatest mind. They said they knew better than everyone else. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Starting point is 01:43:35 That's the truth about the word retarded. That's the truth about the evils of progressivism. And the more you again try to force people to think like you do, It's not, you know, it's not just changing people's mind. You are forcing people to do it. You are shaming them. You are canceling them. You're throwing them out of society.
Starting point is 01:44:05 You're throwing them out of business. You're throwing them off the air because you know better. Well, when that doesn't work, if you believe the ends justified the means, what is the next step you'll be willing to take and then cover up that you had anything to do with it? I don't know. Maybe we should read Jake Tapper's book and see if that lather rinse repeat works on any other subject. Back in just a second, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Everybody loves how to talk about how diversified they are. I've got stocks. I've got real estate. I've got a little crypto on the side. But ask yourself, what do all those things have in common? They're built on a single foundation, the U.S. dollar. And if that foundation cracks, if that dollar takes a hit, If the economy turns suddenly and Washington spends us into a debt spiral, we can't escape. What happens to the diversified portfolio? Well, here's the test, the one nobody likes to take.
Starting point is 01:45:07 What if you wake up tomorrow and there's a market crash, a bank run, a currency shock? What do you actually own that holds value? Well, there's one thing that I know, and it's Lear Capital, gold. Lear will help you get real physical gold and silver into your hands. It's a tax advantage retirement account. You put it in there.

Starting point is 01:46:13 I'm just being retarded? Oh my gosh, what a moron I've been. She's not being an imbecile, Glenn. How many times have you said that about yourself? Yeah, I mean, you mean being just generally self-derogatory? Yeah, self-deprecating. Yeah, just looking at you.
Starting point is 01:46:30 You do something really stupid. You're like, oh, geez, I was just being retarded for a second. It's not the word. It's really not the word. and you know imbecile imbecile and moron those were terms
Starting point is 01:46:46 that doctors put together and and and retarded and then they said no it should be mental retardation and then we can't use the word retarded we're going to use the word slow
Starting point is 01:47:02 well if you were put into a class for the slow didn't that mean the same thing as you were being put into a class with retarded? Because the word retarded actually means slow. I mean, it's the most remarkable thing. Yeah, it's silly and circuitous and just keeps going on. And these words just wind up having the same meaning, as you pointed out.
Starting point is 01:47:31 And like now we've actually advanced past that process where now words have totally different. meanings. Like we're we're rearranging the words to make people feel better, as you've talked about this half hour, and then we're taking words like, you know, woman and and having them mean something totally new, right? Which is neither one of those processes actually do anything for people. They don't improve the world. They don't make things better. It's just nonsense. And they don't work. And they don't work on the human heart. No. The words, all that does is they changed the words and then force you to say it. Think how many words in the last 10 years that you heard or came up with, you know, somebody came up with and you're like, wait, when did that become the
Starting point is 01:48:19 word? When did that word become wrong? And this one is what? What does that one mean? How many new words? I mean, I, the one I always come back to is how is little people less offensive than midget. Like, I think I'd much rather be, I mean, they would name cars midgets. Like, that was something that was cool. Little people, this sounds so demeaning. Who's a little person there? No, no, no, no, no, people are good. You're a little person.
Starting point is 01:48:47 I mean, that is like comprehensively going the wrong direction. But like, they're just arbitrary. And here's how I can tell you why the backlash will be monstrous. I have something else that I'm going to share with you here in just about five minutes. That goes right into this. But why it'll be monstrous is because the press, CNN or somebody else, is going to take this part of the show, and they're going to say how we distorted history.
Starting point is 01:49:19 No, look it up. And if they even mention the history, because they don't like that a lot. And they'll mock us for mocking them. You know what I mean? Pointing out the truth that these words mean the same thing over time. Over and over and over, you try to do this, and what you're doing is trying to force people. And the backlash is happening because people are tired of being forced what to say when it makes no sense whatsoever. Well, don't use the word woman because you don't use it in the right.
Starting point is 01:49:55 I know what a woman is. Everybody knows what a woman is, is seemingly except you, the retarded. This is Glenn Beck. NMLS 182334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.

Yeah, you just save $17 a month while still drowning in a mortgage that's bleeding you dry in credit cards that are also accruing interest faster. than your teenager accrues socks on the floor. Look, a budget is fine. Budgeting is really important. Coupons are fine. But sometimes a problem isn't two or three trips to Starbucks a week.
Starting point is 01:50:46 Sometimes the problem is a whole structure that needs to be changed. And that's where American financing comes in.

I visited a friend in the hospital who last week had a heart attack and was dead for 55 minutes. And it's a remarkable story. Hopefully I'll have time to tell you about it tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:52:00 But her name is Peggy, and I would appreciate Barton Peggy if you would keep them in your prayers. All right, let me continue the conversation that we just had from a CNN article about, you know, the R word coming back in fashion. and it's only being done by, only being done by haters. No, it's really not. It's really not. You've created the return with a vengeance by being the word police for so long. You can only force people for so long before they eventually just rise up and slap you across the face. And that's what's happening.
Starting point is 01:52:34 You know, the tide is turning. And there is another story that is, you know, I don't know, is it because we're hateful? probably because we're hateful. No, it's actually not because we're hateful. It's progressivism once again. It took something that was actually finding its natural place in our culture, and they weaponized it. So let me give you the stats from Gallup.
Starting point is 01:52:59 In 2025, Gallup now tells us that support for same-sex marriage among Republicans has dropped to 41%, the lowest it's been in nearly a decade. Democrats have now hit a record. high of 88%. But here's what the headlines don't focus on. The overall support is trending down. In
Starting point is 01:53:23 2022, it peaked at 71%. Today, it's 68%. Why? Well, listen to the experts. It's because people hate. They just hate gays. That's what they hate. They hate gays. You know, I hate a lot of things, but them gays,
Starting point is 01:53:39 I really hate. That's what Americans are really like. Shut up. Here's what it was really going on. The left just doesn't know when to stop. That's the tragedy, because that's the pattern. Gay marriage was gaining support. Slowly, yes, but naturally, organically.
Starting point is 01:53:58 The American people, families, communities, churches were adapting with compassion, with humanity. But then the progressive movement needed power, and so it seized the movement. And they turned it into a political weapon. They can never help themselves. They created these coalition, militant wings. And then they started just adding letters to the acronym, LGBT. Q. Was Q in there with the original T or was it, is it always LGBTQ or was it LGBT?
Starting point is 01:54:34 And then they added Q. But I know they added two and then they added plus and then they added a couple of eyes, I think. I'm not really sure. But they blurred all the distinctions. And they didn't stop at same-sex marriage. They said, if you accept the G, you also have to accept the T and everything that the T activist wants. They pushed it all of it into our schools, into our kindergarten. They said, affirmed, you affirm this, or you're a bigot.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Celebrate! Or you're a homophobe or a transphobe. And now we've reached this point to where we're literally teaching toddlers that they may be born in the wrong body. and they can be pumped with hormones before they can spell the word biology. Suddenly, something's changed. Americans, ordinary Americans, are starting to turn on gay marriage. No, they're turning on the progressives. And those who have weaponized absolutely everything.
Starting point is 01:55:35 Wait, this isn't about tolerance anymore, says the average American. I mean, I'm not a bigot, and I'm being called a bigot. I don't think this is about tolerance. This is about coercion. This is about manipulation. This is about distortion. This is about destroying families. This is about social engineering. It's not a gal about gay people being married. It's about all that other stuff. And that is why the numbers are falling. That is why the backlash is starting to happen. That's why people are pulling back. That's why even support for same-sex marriage is declining among the broader population. Not because Americans hate. but because Americans hate being called haters and they hate being forced to believe something
Starting point is 01:56:25 that they don't believe. They don't hate it. They don't hate the people. They just do not want to, they don't want to be forced into saying what they think is against nature or against reason or against something that they believe. Why can't I force it?
Starting point is 01:56:46 my views on you then. But here's what matters most. In the midst of this cultural storm, we can still stand firm. Not with anger, but I'm going to hit you with some eternal truth. Oh, there is no such thing as eternal truth. Yeah, there is. Yeah. And here's one of them. Families are the bedrock of all civilization, period. You want civilization? You need families. And you know what? I could even say that about animals, the animal kingdom. You want to talk about science, fine. It takes a male and a female to produce the next generation. Always has, always will.
Starting point is 01:57:31 That's not hate. That's not ideology. That's something called biology. You want a lion that's on the endangered species list to come off the endangered species list. You don't tell the male lion that you might be trapped in the wrong body. And so let's juice you up with all kinds of hormones so you can no longer reproduce. That will put that tiger out of existence. That lion no longer exists because it can't procreate.
Starting point is 01:58:04 And isn't it interesting that the body is designed to procreate? Is there anything that feels better than procreation? No. You know what? It is also, when you think about it technically, it's really kind of an icky process. Okay, it's an icky process. And you don't want to think about it. And yet it is the most satisfying and greatest process at the same time.
Starting point is 01:58:32 Why would we suddenly love to do this icky process? Because I think God knew I got to get them to procreate. I got to make this super, super great for them. It's our nature to prove. procreate. Otherwise, there's nothing left. But then, we as men and women, we're not just animals. We choose. See, animals don't really have the intellectual power to choose. They act. We choose. So we choose. We've always chosen. And one of the things that we've always tried to choose is to rise above our animal instinct. That's why we've codified marriage.
Starting point is 01:59:25 We sanctify sex. Why? Because procreation is sacred, and it binds a man and a woman. It creates a children. Children create a family with a mother and father, and every scientific journal will tell you that a society, a civilization, runs at its best when there's a family run by men and men.
Starting point is 01:59:52 women. It's the moral ecosystem of civilization. Marriage is more than a ceremony. It's more than a legal contract. It's a covenant. It's a sacred union. Look, you want to marry a tree. I don't really care. But don't tell me that that's equal or superior to a man and a woman. It's not. It's not. because one, you're not going to make little half-human tree babies. It's not going to happen. The relationship of respect and purpose between a husband and a wife, a father and a mother, and the role with their children that they bring into this world. How many of us grew up with an idyllic family?
Starting point is 02:00:37 I know I didn't. My mom was an alcoholic that committed suicide. My dad never admitted he was an alcoholic, but I'm pretty sure he was. and yet we try to bring ourselves above and do better. The deep yearning to be more than beasts, to build families, to hold sacred power, to create life comes not from man, but from a higher law, from God, the author of nature and nature's God.
Starting point is 02:01:13 It's he that taught us to honor the family, to respect the body, to love truth. And that is the truth, progressivism, to erase piece by piece, word by word, letter by letter. So no, Americans are not rejecting love. They're not even judging people's lives. Do what you want, dude. Just please. Stop forcing me and my family. They're rejecting force ideological colonization, the replacement of truth with manipulation. They're waking up to the realization that once again, progressivism has created. created the very backlash it now condemns.
Starting point is 02:02:00 When men try to fix men, it always ends in ruin. But when a man submits by his own free will to eternal truths, he will find freedom. And that is where the real fight should be. Us being examples of being better men, better women. So our children see it. So our children want to be better. That when we say to our children, we're disappointed, it means something. That was much worse than anything my father or mother could have said to me than anything else.
Starting point is 02:02:41 The worst was, I'm really disappointed. And that's not coercion. That's respect. And that's where the fight really is. Not in words, but in the ideas. and one has a group of new ideas that have either never been tried or have been tried over and over again and have always failed. And then the other side, the one that's currently strangely losing, it seems,
Starting point is 02:03:17 is the one that has the ideas that have been tried and tried from the beginning of time and always end in stronger families and a stronger civilization. I don't know. The choice doesn't seem really tough for me, but I guess it is tough when you're, you know, at the AP or ABC or CNN, and you can't understand. You just think that people, because they're conservative,
Starting point is 02:03:47 they just hate them gays, and all that brilliant, you know, progressivism lotion that you slathered all over their heads, not taking anymore and they're going back into their hate. No, you don't get it at all. Back in a minute. Ever notice how pain starts acting like an evil boss? Sometimes it just shows up and starts giving you orders.

Coffee used to be simple. You could buy the beans. You could make the coffee. You can enjoy your morning. Now in 2025, your morning comes with a cup of coffee that has a side of corporate messaging and like woke vibes. And I don't know why that exists, but it does. Blackout coffee is like, nah, we're going to cut through the noise. We're going to turn this upside down. This is a family-owned
Starting point is 02:06:31 American company focusing on making great coffee without the lectures. And the customers across America are really responding to this. Blackout has carefully sourced premium beans and roast the, they roast right here in America. Why? Well, they care about it, the country, and they have a goal of creating coffee that tastes great. But they let their quality kind of speak for themselves. It's kind of like a different approach.

Starting point is 02:07:34 Blackout coffee.com slash blaze. Well, there's one thing I think we can all agree on when it comes to recent history is that we do have a real problem with modern day Nazis. And I'm not talking about the Nazis that throw Molotov cocktails at Jews. The real Nazis, like Elon Musk, you know, the type of Nazis that develop spaceships and electric cars, those types of Nazis. We know they're the real problem. We saw the Elon Musk Nazi salute, which was quite clear where Elon Musk took his hand, touched his chest, and then held it straight out in a salute that was this clear, the clearest association with Nazis that we could possibly imagine much more clear than actually
Starting point is 02:08:42 murdering Jews. And that bizarre path we've taken recently. It took an interesting turn over the weekend when Corey Booker decided to do, quite frankly, the exact same thing that Elon Musk did a couple of months ago. If you haven't seen this footage, we'll show it to you on Blaze TV. He does the same thing. He's leaving the stage. He touches his heart, right hand over his heart, and extends his arm out in a quote-unquote Nazi salute. Now, you put them side by side with Corey Booker and Elon Musk. I mean, Elon's a little more forceful with it.
Starting point is 02:09:26 He's a little more excited, maybe. But it is almost identical, even in the pacing of this salute. And we're supposed to sit back here and criticize Elon Musk and call him a Nazi and that this is the most clear sign that he is a Nazi. But then Cory Booker does the same thing and we're not supposed to care about it at all. Now, of course, the appropriate reaction is to do the reaction that we are having with Cory Booker. That's actually the right reaction, which is it doesn't mean anything at all. Obviously, it doesn't mean that Cory Booker is a Nazi.
Starting point is 02:09:58 He might have terrible viewpoints in a multitude of ways. And his ideas for how much government should control your life might seem Nazi-esque at times. But it is not the exact same thing quite clearly. Certainly doesn't prove he's a Nazi. What's fascinating about it is the fact that, The media is doing both of those things. Saying Elon Musk isn't completely ignoring that Booker did the same thing. And that's, of course, because of their predetermined belief.
Starting point is 02:10:26 When you believe Elon Musk is a Nazi this week because he's supporting Donald Trump as opposed to when he thought he was a hero last week because of his electric cars, well, it's easy to call him a Nazi because you already believed he was a Nazi. This just confirms your previously held belief. When it's Cory Booker, well, he's a good guy. He stood up. He did a filibuster for something good. and therefore, of course, he's not a Nazi.
Starting point is 02:10:48 It would be silly to say so just from a stupid hand salute.
