You got to do it. Your card is probably, the average is about 19.9%. They've seen them as high as 24%. You're not going to be able to pay these things off. If that interest rate goes up, how are you going to get out from behind one of these things? You're not.

And then she would clean, we would have to clean all the walls and the woodwork and everything, and then put it all back into the house. It was a fun, classy white trash weekend. Anyway, you could do that.

tell you, you know, you're giving me these inflation numbers. I'm trying to move a book today, man. I need some good inflation numbers. I got product to get out of the warehouse. You are going to do really well. You just have to charge $85 per book. Dave does have a new book out. It's called Don't Burn This Country. And, you know, in it, you say something kind of interesting that this is the kind of the, this is your last chance to try to to try to save liberals. This is it, man. I mean, you know my evolution well and you're all. I'm sure is pretty familiar with it.

I have tried for the last, say, seven years to really wake up the remaining liberals and go, you know, do the obvious stuff first. The obvious stuff is, okay, the left is gone bananas, the woke stuff, and two plus two is five, and boys are girls, and non-racism is racism, all the stuff that you've been talking about for years. Enough of the liberals get that, but at some point, the rubber meets the road. At some point, you have to make a choice. You have to see that fork in the road and say, okay, I'm going to have to separate from some of my old ideas,

some of the old political leaders and political parties I've followed, and blaze a new trail. I think that's what I've tried to do in my life. And really, this book is saying, hey, we're past the point of talking. We're past the point of just explaining that there is something wrong with the left. Now we really have to build new things. We have to separate, in essence, from these people, build parallel economies, build new educational institutions, build new networks. I mean, literally everything. And I mean literally, literally, literally everything that we have, we have to either rebuild or separate from these guys because they're not going to stop.

You know, for all that we've warned, for all the work that all of us have done, they're still not stopping. Sure, we're waking up people, but the march is on. So it's time to, it's time to blaze a new trail. Okay, so what does that mean exactly? Well, it means a lot of things. I mean, first of up, you really have to think about your life in a different way. I tell a story in the book about an intern that I had about two years ago who was a great kid. He was really crushing it.

And I said to him, he was going to school and then working for us part-time intern, and I pay all my interns, by the way. And I said to him, hey, listen, forget about school. You're killing it here. Let me hire you full-time. We pay all your benefits. join us and you've got a bright future ahead of you. We'll take good care. And I know you'll make the show better. I know it'll work for me too. And he said, you know, Dave, I think I want to

stick with college. I get it. I'm flattered. Flash forward a year later, where now I live in Florida, as you know, I was living in Talley at the time. He called me about three months ago, called me about three months ago and said, Dave, I've had enough. I don't like the Zoom schools. Nobody's learning anything here. We're being indoctrinated. My teachers are all activists. Does that offer still stand? And now he's got a full-time job. He just moved. to Florida and he's flourishing. And I use that as an example, meaning you don't have to go $150,000 into debt when you are 21 years old to get a marginal job that most likely you didn't learn anything that got you the job in the first place. That's one example. I think we have to figure

out ways to get off the big tech rails. It's why the blazers is thriving because you years ago saw the path of, oh, I can't be so reliant on the big boys. I have to build my own thing. It's why I started locals. I think there's all sorts of things. You know, you need to know how to do a few things. One of the real crises we're having, I think right now, is that the millennials don't know how to do anything. They don't know how to change a tire. They don't know how to raise some chickens or start a garden.

I mean, basic things. This stuff sort of sound simple, but we've become so reliant on these big systems and that everything will always be delivered to you. and if you just don't ask any questions, and if you're nice to the machine, it'll be nice back to you. But two years after, you know, 15 days to slow the spread, I think we realize they're never going to stop. They're coming.

And until you realize that it's your life and you better grab what you can while you can, they will just keep moving on everything. Yeah, you talk about the difference between self-care and being self-reliant. And I can't tell you how important that is right now. all of us need to learn certain things. If our kids don't know how to read a map, you better teach them how to read a map and have

maps that they can read. Also in the book, you write how to spot fake news. Can you take us through that? Yeah, so, you know, there's many types of fake news. You know, we think of fake news traditionally as just sort of the made-up story. And believe me, there are plenty of those. And then I think another type of fake news that we think about is when the headlines, has almost nothing to do with the story.

Those are sort of the two big ones that are that are somewhat obvious. But there's a couple other versions of fake news that I actually think are far more nefarious and more dangerous. I mean, one of them, the best example, because it's relative to what's going on right now, I mean, this Hunter Biden laptop story, which, you know, right before the election was not allowed to be on Twitter, even though the New York Post is a totally reputable place of journalism that has existed as a newspaper for over 200 years. But you could not tweet about it. Not only could you not tweet about it,

as you know, you could not send the link to the story in your private messages on Twitter. That means they were monitoring people's private messages, the private messages of even journalists, you know, quote-unquote journalists that were sending the stories to each other. So a type of fake news is the things that they won't let you see. And I'm far more interested and worried about that than the fake stuff. You know, we've all done pretty good work and your audience as well. of all the fake stuff, you know, very fine people on both sides, the Russia collusion hoax,

Brett Kavanaugh is a serial rapist, the coming two kids are racist. Everyone gets that. Okay, you know, the internet has allowed us to some degree to expose that. The bigger issue is the stuff that we can't quite see. We can't quite make sense of, you know, 51 former intelligence officials tell us that the Hunter Biden laptop story is fake. And now the New York Times is even saying it's real, except that's a year and a half later. And not only that, but the fake news continues. They say that it was real. However, the president's not implicated in this at all.

So they've just moved the bar, and they're still saying kind of the same thing. Well, that's the extraordinary part. And that's one way that the machine, and this is what I mean by these big systems, they always are a little bit in front of us. And we're always playing a little bit of catch up, because you're totally right. So at first it was the story's completely a hoax. then it sort of was like, okay, maybe it's true, but it doesn't really implicate Hunter in any way. Now it's sort of, okay, Hunter could be in some trouble, but it has nothing

to do with Biden. And I suspect, Glenn, that as more and more info leaks from this thing, and we figure out how Hunter got these jobs that he was completely unqualified for, do you think, do you think that maybe, I'm not a rocket scientist or a biologist, but do you think that maybe it had something to do with the fact that his dad was vice president of the United States and maybe could influence policy? I mean, is that, am I a crazy conspiracy theory? Oh, yeah, of course you are. Of course you are. Let me just quote the book and you expand.

The collectivist left wants to strip you of the intrinsic and personal choices. You should want to stay at home. In fact, you'll get paid for it. You can watch porn and play video games all day. And when doing so, you're actually helping people. Yeah, I mean, what a twisted thing they put on all of us over. the last couple years, that they got good people who worked really hard to build great businesses and restaurants. We all know someone in our own life, whether it was us personally or a neighbor

or a friend or a cousin who had a business closed, someone who lost their job, the mom and pop stores. I think in California, it was something like 70% of mom and pop stores closed during COVID, but for some reason, the target, the big box stores, they were allowed to stay open. While if you had a mom and pop shop that was selling virtually the same stuff, they had to close these ridiculous arbitrary rules. And then, of course, the way I related to collectivism is that at the same time, they're telling us, we must stay home and you're going to kill grandma and just order in food. Well, first off, you're creating a class war because only people that can afford to stay home will stay home.

And then you've got these other people that have to wear masks to deliver your food. So we've a huge class war problem there. But also, then the utter hypocrisy that they threw in our face when it was, was Black Lives Matter rallies, suddenly Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, could go out without a mask and he could bow to those people or Lori Lightfoot in Chicago. She had her, you know, kids in masks. They still may have some degree of kids in masks in Chicago. But for Black Lives Matter, she could be out there without a mask. And even, Glenn, even in the last couple of days, I'm sure you guys covered at the ridiculous press conference, that chronic liar, Jen Saki,

gave the other day where she was asked about Kamala Harris wearing masks indoors, and she says, well, she took it off for this because this was very important related to Kataji Brow Jack. This was a historical moment. They lie about everything while they take your rights and dignity away, and then they throw it in your face, and we just have to say enough is enough. You move to California, which is interesting to me, because you talk about inclusiveness, and you talk about the importance of being a good neighbor. Can you be a good neighbor in the wrong place?

It was tough. It was really tough. You know, I moved to Cali in 2013, and I had a really nice run there. I became professionally successful. My life was enriched in many, many ways. But these last couple years, and it started, it really did start before COVID, but then COVID put it on steroids. You know, the societal breakdown,

because the individual is not separated from your politics and vice versa, meaning that if you really, if you're watching the news all day and you're completely fearful of everything and you're wearing masks outdoors and all of those things, you will start separating from your neighbors. So I would quite literally, you know, L.A., beautiful 80 degrees every single day, not a cloud in the sky, I'd be walking my dog with no mask on. Outdoors, fresh air, and neighbors would be, I kid you not running.

the other way. You know, the degree that everyone would go into the supermarkets and nobody would look at each other. You know, you wouldn't even, you'd have a mask on, so that's already weird. You can't reach facial keys. What do we think this is going to do to a generation of people? So I have to tell you, going from California to Florida, where I am now, and I've been here for about three months, I feel like I'm in a completely different country. And I don't mean that, I don't mean that to be, I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I genuinely feel like I am living in a place. with a completely different outlook on life. I go to the store, people are smiling, they say hi, that you can feel energy here

and excitement businesses are thriving. And that, as I said, it's not disconnected from politics. We have a governor here who said, hey, I don't know everything that's going on with COVID, but we're going to let people make decisions for themselves. And by the way, occasionally you see some people in masks here, and that's their choice. That's fine. But the government isn't dictating that everyone live under the boot. and it's a much more refreshing way to live.

Glenn, I think you know, it's like a weight off my chest. I'm here. I can breathe deeper. I know. We're talking to Dave Rubin, the Blaze TV host, the Rubin report, which you can find online or at Blaze TV. He's got a new book out today called Don't Burn This Country, Surviving and Thriving in our Woke Dystopia.

In the book, you have a great thought experiment on Plato's Cave. And I want you to take us through that. in 60 seconds. Can you hang? Let me tell you about Kim. She wrote in. She said, I've been having relief factor. I've been taking it now for about a month.

It's hard to believe, but my back pain is gone. When I first heard about it, I thought, who could ever believe that? I am now a full-fledged believer. This product really was a miracle for me. Thank you so much, relief factor. Kim, I know exactly how you feel. people all the time say this and this is the way I felt there's no way this stuff's going to work for me it's all natural it's you know there's no doubt chemical in it none I mean how is that healthy for

you it's not a drug developed by doctors and it has four different ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation ibuprofen is only one way to attack inflammation this has four different ways. All right. Three week quick start. This is where the rubber meets the road. Try it. If it's not working for you, that's fine. Just stop taking it. It's 1995 to try it. Take it three times a day, as I do, for three weeks. Be faithful on it. See if it changes anything. If you see a difference in three weeks, keep taking it because you'll start to really see it'll compound. If you don't see any difference in three weeks, stop taking it. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.

It's relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. 800, the number four, relief, 800, the number four, relief, relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Dave Rubin's new book, I love this. In a time of madness, don't burn this country. It will give you the tools you need to think for yourself. I want you to walk into the bar and order a full-bodied opinion. I want you to get absolutely wasted on facts until 3 a.m.

And then when you're just about ready to pass out, I want you to get another glass of reality and chug it. I love that, Dave. Glenn, I know you don't drink anymore. No, I can relate. There's something there. Yeah, there is. All right. So take us to Plato's Cave 2022.

First explain for people who don't know what Plato's Cave is. Yeah, the basic idea of Plato's Cave and why I use it as an example. in this book is that in the cave, if you live in this cave, as Plato described it in this conversation that he was having when he originally wrote it, if you live in this cave, your perception and if you only live in a cave and it encapsulates everything that you know, what you can see around you in the immediate vicinity of you, your perception of reality will be extremely different than what actual reality is. And somehow, through social media, through lockdowns, through closing businesses, social distancing,

eliminating the ways that humans have always communicated. In some ways, we're all sort of caught in our own cave right now. And those of us that are trying to have difficult conversations that are trying to build some bridges instead of burning everything down, I think the challenge for us is to get out of our cave. You know, we can, Glenn, you guys, we can analyze the news and we can try to translate it in a sensible way to our audiences, and hopefully they can incorporate some of that in their lives

and figure out what's real. But it's on everyone to do that to whatever degree you can. Because, you know, especially when you add in the big tech element of this and algorithmically charged stuff where we do not know how news is being catered to us and what they're sending us, the feeds, what they're doing to our dopamine related to likes and clicks and retweets and all these things. In essence, we're all being pushed back into the cave where only our sort of preconceived notions are the things that are going to matter.

And we really all have to step out of that cave. And by the way, when I wrote this, it was, I'm talking to myself as well. None of those are perfect. And you say, imagine a civil war breaks out, two groups, one who wants to conserve, one who wants to destroy. Look, this is, this was not a line that I wanted to write. And I've thought a lot about this. And, you know, there is a little bit of a, you can feel a grumbling right now of a movement, of a sort of separation movement between the red and blue states. And the problem is that, look, we are called the United States of America.

We are supposed to be individual states. This is what the federalist system is about, of course. And then we are supposed to be united in some form of commonality. Unfortunately, because the Democrat Party has gone so far off the deep end and taken the blue states with it, as I said before, if you live in Florida, California, in effect, you live in different countries. We have to figure out how to arbitrage this situation. my suspicion is that the red states are going to continue to flourish and the blue states are going to continue to crumble. Now, the problem with that inherently is that the red states kind of are going to say, okay, hey, we're doing it right.

We're out of here. But the blue states are going to say, no, we still want more. We want more of your tax money. We want more of your production, whatever value you guys bring. I think the red states generally speaking, I'm not talking about a true secession movement or something like that. But I think sort of an ideological, hey, this is where I live. the things I care about. The blue states won't let that alone. So I think this is going to be something that comes up more and more. But the irony, of course, is that in many ways, this is the way

the country was set up to be. The federal government is not supposed to have nearly as much power as it does. Dave, I'm so glad you're on our side. I'm glad to be on the same side with you. And let me tell you something, my friend, because I know you're not going to shoot your own horn. We're burning up the charts with this book right now, but I can't get ahead of the Great Reset on any category because you're still killing it, man. You're crushing it all over the way. The book's been out for two months.

Thank you very much, Dave. I appreciate it. The name of the book is, don't burn this country. Make sure you grab it now, wherever books are sold. Dave is a remarkable guy, started seven years ago,

questioning his own beliefs. And he is, I think, next year, he might get to a point where it's like, Gangus Khan didn't go far enough. I mean, he is really becoming a conservative warrior. Dave Rubin, you can find his show at Blaze TV. The Glenn Back program. When it comes time to sell your home, are you ready?

Don't Burn This Country by Dave Rubin and The Great Reset by Glybac available now by the both together. There's breaking news. Multiple people have been shot at a Brooklyn subway station. Down in the subway, they found multiple unexploded devices. We don't have a lot of information at this point, but say a prayer for those who have been shot. And also that the police are protected and can catch this. terrorist. I want to remind you coming up at the top of next hour, so at about 35 minutes, I'm starting a series, a four-part series that will end on Friday that is on America's God.

Who is it that we worship? And are we doing this with our eyes wide open? America's God coming up in just about a half hour. I want to go to Canada. to talk to the Canadian pastor that has been arrested over the COVID-19 rules. He's been arrested, I think, 16 times now. He has just been jailed for speaking to Canadian trucker, the trucker convoy. And what he says happen in jail up in Canada is third world country stuff. Artur Paulowski is with us now. Welcome.

Pastor, how are you? good, good. Thank you so much for having me in. Sure. Now, we had you on before. You were the guy that was supposed to recite a government-approved COVID warning before you talk to anybody. Yes, that's correct. That's correct. Compiled speech. It seems like the good old days compared to what's happening now. I know. Tell me the latest on, because you've,

just been released from prison, but you're on house arrest facing a dozen criminal charges. Tell me what happened. Oh, as you can tell, I grew up behind the Iron Curtain in Poland under the boots of the Soviets. So my parents decided enough is enough. They wanted to give us a better life. Me and my younger brother, David, and we emigrated through Turkey to Greece. We spent few years there. And then when Canada opened its borders, and they said, come to Canada to the freest country on earth, where no one will persecute you for your fate.

Well, we took that offer. And we sold everything we had. We had some businesses in Greece. And then we emigrated to Canada. And behold, what a surprise right now. I have been facing over 100 court cases, 340 citations. And this was my 16th arrest. Why? Well, during the COVID era, I think they have found a new way to deprive us from our rights,

to steal what's rightfully belongs to us from God and from the state. The Constitution, the Charter Rights and Freedoms, the Criminal Code of Canada clearly is telling them they cannot do what they do to us. However, we have entered an era of dictatorship. Canada is no longer a democracy. I call it China that. I'm truly living again. behind the iron curtain. I dared to speak at the rallies. I dared to tell the people remember their names. The COVID didn't do this to us. It's people. Remember the premiers. Remember the police officers that are arresting people for no reason just for peaceful assembly. So I was invited to Coots. Cuts is a port of entry between Alberta and Montana.

And over there there were trackers and the eyes of the world were fixed on Coots and Milk River, 14 kilometers from Coots, when the people assembled and they said, listen, we are free Canadians and we want to remain free Canadians. Who do you think Trudeau you are? Who do you think you turn quote Jason Kenney, the Premier of Alberta? Who do you think you are? You're supposed to represent us the people, but you have waged a war against us. So they decided to bring the attention of the world what's happening in China. to the whole world, and then they assembled in crudes. There was a few hundred people over there,

and then when people learned that there is this alamo, if you will, this stand by the free people, they assembled at Milk River. As you know, during that time, over a million people took part in the track convoy, including me and our church, we were feeding the truckers, I was giving speeches to the truckers. And you were you were advising them to hold the line against the government, but you also were advising, be very careful, don't resort to violence, just to hold the line and speak the truth. So you weren't doing anything that was inciting anyone, but then they arrested you and put you in jail. And I saw a recent interview where you say you were kept in a small cage for a while.

Yes. Jason Kenney, everything comes from the Premier's office and the so-called Minister of Justice that used to be the Minister of Health, Taylor, Shandrow. And both of those gentlemen were caught breaking the same mandates and the same restrictions in the Sky Palace, hypocrisy where they were partying while we, my brother David, and me, we were arrested by SWAT team in the middle of the road for inciting people to come to church participating in a church service. and officiating an illegal gathering church service. So we spent three days and two nights at that time,

and then they arrested me after the coup speech. And you're right. I said clearly no violence, no guns, no swords. This is peaceful resistance. Solidarity style movement. Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. Civil Rights Movement. No violence. And the R.C.N.P. was there, and no one stopped me.

No one said the word. No one said you're illegally here. This is illegal protest. No, nothing like that. They actually let me in and let me out of the barricade, the police themselves. A few days later, it was a sting operation. Like, I felt like Escobar, El Chapo, you know, Al Capone, that was cruisers, undercover police park, our CMP officers, detectives.

I mean, it was absolutely crazy. I was interrogated for hours and then taken to prison. I was placed in solitary confinement, 22 to 25 hours straight. I was placed in metal box, a bigger one, than a smaller one. I was stripped naked multiple times. They said they were looking for contraband. They would not give me a Bible. When finally I complained over and over, they gave me a Bible, but they did not give me

my glasses. I could not read. I was taken in and out of my cell into another cell on concrete for hours. And then after, I was shipped to Edmonton for no reason, after 44 days that they spent in Calgary, Reman Center, where guards were inciting inmates to beat me up. They said, we're going to open Pulaski's door by accident. Go and do him, beat him up. We're sick of this guy. He embarrassed us. And the inmate, I was such a hero in prison that the inmate said to them, first of, we would beat you up before we would touch this man. He's an innocent man.

He's a good man. He's a clergyman. We will not beat him up. And when I was taken to my cell in concrete every day, when I was coming back, they would be yelling, free pastor art, free pastor art, free pastor art. So it was incredible solidarity coming from the inmates. Then I was taken to Edmonton, and I was placed, believe it or not, after spending 44 days without incidents, without any problems whatsoever.

They placed me on administrative segregation in MaxPod. MaxPod is a place where you place the most dangerous, the most violent murders that attacked guards or stopped and murdered inmates. And they checked a box saying that I am considered unsafe to the center and to the staff. The detailed description, the reason given, it says, here I'm looking at the document right now, place on administrative segregation as per senior management. So the document says I will spend 15 to 45 days or indefinitely in this horrible, horrible place alone without being able to see another human being.

And it was extremely cold to the point that I could not sleep. I was shivering all day, all night. and then the next day was the bail hearing. My lawyers set to the judge what was happening to me, and I think that scared them because I don't know if you're aware. Riemann centers are privately owned. So it scared them, and they moved me to a psych ward. Can you believe it? I, as a pastor, I was moved to a mental ward, and when I ask the gods, why? Where am I? Like, what is going on?

It looks like they are no accountable. Those people can do to you, whatever they want, and they were laughing. And they said, you are in the wild, wild west. And I said, what that means? Well, you're in a crazy world. Enjoy it. So they thought it was hilarious. They thought it was, you know, a great fun.

And a doctor comes the next day and he says, like, why are you here? And I said, that's a good question. I have no idea. He said, this is outside of the protocol. You're not allowed to be here. This is placed for people that we. We decide that they need this unit, not people that are not mentally ill. So even the doctor was puzzled what was going on.

And then he said to me, well, this decision came outside of AHS, which is Alberta Health. And it came straight from the director. The document that was signed dated March 24, 2022 was signed by the deputy director of Freeman Center in Edmonton. And then four in the morning, a week later, I was taken from myself, stripped naked in front of women, men. You know, those people are dehumulating anyone that comes under their, you know, supervision, you know, in quote. Five hours on concrete and then I was shipped back to Calgary, stripped naked again. The whole unit actually was penalized because when I came in, they hugged me, they cheered for me and they yelled. Free Pastor Arts, so they placed us on the wall, searched us again, spread your legs, arms, took us to Admination

unit, stripped naked, again in time for hours on concrete. And that was my last day, the 50, after 50 days on the 51st, they let me out. There was hundreds of people that came to welcome me, and they were told if they will stay there to welcome my release, I will be immediately arrested. I was told that if I say even a high to them, if I hug my children, if I hug my father that came to welcome me, I'll be re-arrested again. And I am not a free man. I am on house arrest facing dozen criminal charges for, like the Premier Kenny lied to the public said. Arthur Poloski incited violence towards others. So is this all worth it?

Oh, 100%. I mean, history is teaching us that it's worth it. I mean, if we don't stand up, if we will not push, if we will not fight, if good people will not do what's right, if the light will not shine, the darkness will take over. So yes, I was sitting in a solitary confinement and I'm telling you, there were hard times. And sometimes I was crying out to God, God, take me out of this place. Please, please take me out of it. But to fight for freedom, to fight for the children, I got three children.

And, you know, when I look at their eyes, I can say truly, your father did what your father could. I am not ashamed of what I'm doing. I'm standing for the truth. Others did it before me. I am preaching the truth. I'm setting the captive street. I'm giving people hope. And I have to come back to me, to them, and to you and say, yes, to do the right thing is always worth it.

Right now, your home value could be up as much as 20%. And that's a big deal because it means you have access to equity as cash at an incredibly low interest rate. If, you know, you're getting it now at a 5% interest rate. But I'm looking at that in saying, if I haven't paid off credit cards, I know those are adjustable and they're going to continue to go up. The average, now you're

paying 19.9% interest. That's not good. That's not good. And it's going to go higher and higher. You've got to pay those things off.

It's about something inside of us. And we are headed down the path of, of, of,

the French Revolution and we're headed towards the the progressive revolution that became Nazi Germany. And we have certain patterns that we can identify and certain things that we can do.

I feel it to be incredibly important to show. with you an Easter and Passover message beginning today. All this week, I want to look at a question, and that question's answer will determine our future. Here it is. Who or what does America truly worship? Part one of a four-part series begins right now, Who is America's God in 60 seconds? Donna wrote in about her experience with relief factors, says I couldn't use my right hand because it was so swollen with arthritis. I used to wake up screaming in pain.

But this morning I woke up and my right hand is no longer swollen, let alone painful at all. This is amazing. I get to do the things I want to do today. It's worth it. It's worth trying it just for that possibility. Donna, thank you for writing in. I take Relief Factor every day. I'm sure Donna does now as well.

It has made an enormous impact on my life. Three-week quick start is all you need to try. Just try it for three weeks. If it's not working within three weeks, it's probably not going to work on you. But 70% of the people who try it for three weeks go on to order more. So try it now. Relief Factor. Relieffactor.com.

Relieffactor.com. Or 800, the number four, relief. All of history's strongest empires are no more. The Mongol Empire, it's gone. Roman Empire fell. The Ottoman Empire, that's finished. And the British Empire, from rising sun to setting sun, dissolved. America?

Well, she's not down yet. well technically we're not an empire shut up karen the point is that every society that has ever led the world has diminished or collapsed and in those times it's a scary and exciting time to be alive as dickens wrote it was the best of times it was the worst of times America is not the unsinkable ship we thought she was, and the iceberg is not just close, we've already hit it. If you think the currency is unstable, have you looked at our kids? Child suicide doubled between 2007 and 2017. Self-harm among pre-teen girls is up 189%.

Americans can't afford family vacations, but it's kind of fine because the family fell apart a long time ago. We live in a time where every woman of the year this year is a man, and every man is told he's an oppressor. Our Ivy League students want more censorship, and our government wants more surveillance, all while we grow more and more isolated, depressed, and unstable. We've lost our way, America.

We've lost our Unum. And nobody really knows how to get it back. While all this is going on, the brave new world is accelerating towards us at an incredible speed. Futurist, dreamers, and innovators foretell a future where man and machine become one. A world more virtual than physical. A world where technology extends life beyond death and intelligence. beyond our universe. Some say we'll colonize Mars before 2030.

Others say we have to do that because we got to get off this planet before we link to computers. But one thing is certain. Life as we know it is changing forever. Are we ready? If we don't enter into this brave new technological era with some collective moral agreements, then our advancements will overtake and doom us. If we can't define the difference between a man and a woman, can we know the difference between man and machine? What are the ethics of this new world? What is life? How do you live in a

virtual world? What gives us meaning? Are we just giant pieces of meat being driven around by machine brains? Are we a dwelling place for God? Are we just a sum of what we've experienced, or do we have immortal souls trapped in mortal bodies? If all of the data of who I am can be downloaded, does that mean I live forever? Is that even me? Or is there something more to me, something that could never be downloaded, reproduced or preserved. If a machine can deduce, communicate, abstract out ideas, imitate, infer patterns. If they can write poetry and art, tell us they love us. Is that real?

Are they human? if they respond to touch and seem to make friends, if they say, I am lonely, are they any different than us? If a car is driving itself and there's no time for that car to stop, Elon Musk is on the right and the president is on the left, and Mother Teresa is in front of us, who should the car hit? We as humans won't be able to decide, but MIT is already working on that. because the car will be fast enough to decide who lives and who dies.

My question is, what moral standard are they using? Ours? Because I don't know what our moral standard is anymore. According to the NIH, artificial intelligence will be used more extensively in health care in 10 years. But don't fear the machine. Fear the programmer. Someone somewhere in the world of big tech is developing the technology that literally will be making life and death decisions.

Do you trust that guy? Do you know who that guy even is? Because soon it just becomes an algorithm. Where did that programmer get his values? Are they the same as mine or yours? Also in the NIH website is a report that scientists now are using CRISPR technology for human enhancement. They are genetically modifying,

babies in test tubes and they say it's working. Genetically tailored humans. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, and the Pentagon went ahead and admitted we have seen UFOs. Nobody really paid any attention, but can I just ask the question? If aliens come down with a higher level of intelligence, are they our masters? Are we like animals to them? or are we all created equal?

Who decides? Well, God does. But do we believe in God anymore? And how could we even make this case to aliens or a machine if we're not living it now? We don't believe in God as much as we used to. According to Pew Research Center, the secularization, the shift is now evident in the American society. So far in the 21st century, we should. show no signs of slowing.

Pew's religious landscape study breaks the data down by age group. They found that each new generation cares about God less and less. The generational declines, belief in God, frequency of prayer, importance of religion in one's life, and even frequency of feeling spiritual peace and well-being. Our nation is abandoning the God of our founding. So where do we go to answer huge questions about right and wrong, life and death, meaning and values, without a God to order our society, a God that empowers you, not the government, not special interests, but you, who's going to step in to fill that gap?

And will that person empower or enslave? As America shakes off our religious foundation in the name of freedom, we have not freed ourselves from dogma or religious strictures. Far from it. We've just introduced new dogmas, new strictures. There is a new religious cult in America. It's wokeism. Is this our new God? It is accepted wisdom that you cannot serve two masters,

but it should be equally regarded that everyone serves someone or something. So one God must perish, and in its death all of its traditions, histories, and decency, will be buried along with it. Is this what we want? Because this is the choice in front of us now, the elephant in the room, the root of our problems and solutions,

not to just question and think, but come up with an answer. And if you think you don't have to answer this question, no answer is an answer. The good news is this has all happened before, and if we know the results, perhaps we can change our thinking to change our course. So today, as we enter in this new era, an era rife with ethical debates, a crisis of meaning, and the last ditch efforts to remain functioning in the world, we have to ask the question,

who is America's God now? More in 60 seconds. I want to tell you about the Tuttle Twins. If you want your children to think, really think and learn, you need to teach them a solid set of values and doctrines. And the Tuttle Twins will help you do this. Now, I ask the Tuttle Twins people to make this book available, The Creature from Jekyll Island. This is, if you know the very famous book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, you know that's, about the Fed. And the Fed is the one causing the inflation. This book will teach your kids and

many of us as well exactly what the Fed is, how it works, how it was developed, how it prints money, what inflation is, and how to deal with it. This is a critical book, and that's why I've asked them to make it for free. All you pay for is the price of the shipping. So do it now. Go to Tuttle Twinsbeck.com while supplies last. You get a free copy of the Tuttle Twins and the creature from Jekyll Island. Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. 10 seconds, station ID. We aren't the first country to attempt nationally to rinse that God ride out of our hair.

There's really nothing new under the sun, and although we sometimes remember the problems of the past, we then go on to tell ourselves, ah, it's not going to happen here, or this time it's different. So in doing that, we rarely remember any of the solutions, and in that way we doom ourselves to repeat our failures over and over throughout history. This is our country, our freedom, our children's future. We should all have to give informed consent. Do we want this New World Order, the Great Reset, or any of its other names or prophets, CRT, BLM, Inc, wokeism? if not we can stop the cycle, but we have to recognize the pattern first. So let me take you back to the French Revolution in the 1790s.

The French Revolution was the result of many things, but religious unrest was undeniably one of them. When the Cathedral of Notre Dame was stormed by angry revolutionaries, they decapitated 20 statues because they thought they were beheading French kings, but they were actually statutes. of kings of Judah. It's kind of a clever irony. The Cathedral of Notre Dame represented everything. The revolutionaries hated. Not only was it religiously significant, but the cathedral was the symbol of the monarchy. Henry V. 6th of England was crowned king of France there. Religion in politics had corrupted each other in the pursuit of power, and people could hardly tell the two apart. In the revolutionaries' rage against the establishment, they were eager to destroy all connections, not just to the church,

but to God himself. This would prove to be a real challenge, considering most French citizens were Catholic. Catholicism was the state religion, and the church owned a lot of property. Yet, people had grown tired of the church and its guiding hand in the nation. The vision of a de-christianized France captured the minds of the revolutionaries. They made. They made, massacred and jailed priests, made public worship illegal, and rushed to destroy every symbol of religion left standing. The cathedral itself became the site of the anti-religious festival, the festival of reason, which mocksed Catholicism and suggested Parisians worship the principles of the Enlightenment instead. This festival was the opening ceremony for the first state-sponsored atheistic religion, the cult of Rehers. Reason. The new atheistic religion held their launch party at the cathedral to send a very clear

message that reason would replace traditional religion by any means necessary. The bishop of Paris and the clergy were forced to attend the festival and publicly renounce their religion and promised to henceforth only recognize the public worship of liberty, equality, and fraternity. what Constantine had done in the name of Christianity, the French did in the name of reason. But the great irony in the fallout of the French Revolution was that the revolutionaries thought they were freeing themselves from religion, but in reality, they just swapped oppressors.

Absent the Catholic Church, new and still quite demanding, secular religions stepped in to fill the gaps. It was Maximilian Robespierre, a prominent leader of the French Revolution who was wholly unimpressed with the cult of reason and proposed instead the cult of supreme being, where the cult of reason insisted on a world without God, the cult of supreme being accepted the existence of a supernatural deity but professed that this deity didn't interfere with men's lives. there was a god to stir the people, but only men could tell them what to do. How convenient for Robespierre. This new cult organized the ordinary people and instilled in them proper morals and patriotism.

It was the transitory ideology between the worship of a god and the worship of a country, or worse, the worship of country's leadership. Robs Pierre doubted the cult of reason could actually handle the work of organizing society, so he peppered this new cult with recognizable religious undertones in the hopes of inspiring the masses. This new religion came with rituals, virtues, commandments, and holidays, including the festival of the supreme being, where Robespierre gallantly climbed up a paper-mache mountain and sang revolutionary songs, while the ordinary people looked on from below. One of Robespierre's critics actually said, it is not enough for him to be in charge.

He now has to be God. So why did the French leap from one religious order to the next? Is it possible that in their zeal to get rid of anything resembling church, they took for granted the role religion plays in ordering society? They removed the iron fist of the Catholic Church. but it appears they had no plans of what to replace it with. They miss the do unto others, forgive others, and serve part of the faith. So the opportunistic ideologies of men stepped in as an alternative.

They replaced the idea of forgiveness with the guillotine. Are we not doing the same thing today? are we not experiencing a digital beheading for those who betray the gods of our new society? It's ironic that we look now at what's happening in Paris again. There was a fire in the Great Cathedral of Notre Dame, and it destroyed everything that had been rebuilt after the Temple of Reason. A fire destroyed it this time, and it's being rebuilt. And it once again has become a new temple, not to God, but a temple to social justice, a temple to equity, a temple to earth.

Have we not just done exactly the same thing that the revolutionaries did when they killed God? wanted to rid themselves for something that would be better, a utopia where everyone would be free. When churches become political and the government uses that, when political government becomes the church and the church becomes the government, we make bad mistakes. And sometimes we throw the baby out with a bathwater and we swing as they did in their fervor in France too far in the opposite direction.

When we come back, why Nietzsche was right, but not for the reason everybody else says he was right. Well, he is Joe Biden, I suppose. We elected him, and through his administration, we're bleeding America dry of our economic standing, both at home and abroad. Every day, inflation seems to creep up a little bit higher. Don't worry. We were at 7.9. Today we have the new numbers for inflation.

They got it on track. It is definitely transitory. It's 8.5. Listen, we're in economic insanity right now, and it can become an absolute economic nightmare tomorrow.

today part one of a five-part series where we ask what god is it that we are worshipping now because as michel michel obama said barak knows that we have to change our traditions our language we have to change everything and we have. But can we just stop and pause for a minute and ask, is this the direction we want to go? And are we worshipping a new God? Absent the discussion of whether or not God is real, is the discussion of whether or not cultures need some sort of faith to bind them together morally. And do the people find that themselves?

or is it inflicted upon them? Regardless of a person's belief in God, if you ask them if there are things that they could do to make their life worse, everybody could rattle off a few things. I mean, murdering someone would come to mind that would make life much worse. So would, you know, abandoning a child

or abusing an elderly person? These are the kinds of actions. We almost universally agree would make life worse. shouldn't do them. But on the reverse, there have to be things that we can do to make life better. And those things must be universal. They must conform to, as our founders put it, some sort of natural law. We already know these things. Because those are the actions we point to when we say, and we all agree, that's a good person. But where do we derive good from? But where do we derive good from? Is it something that we're born with?

I used to think these rights are self-evident, but I'm not sure anymore. I think maybe we have to be taught what is good. Why is murder wrong? Why isn't it murder when I put my dog down? Why is it everybody knows how hard that is, but they don't question your right to put your dog down, but now putting your mom down would be different. Why are humans more valuable than a dog?

I think we still have some national morals that bind us together, that prioritize human life, but those are quickly dwindling, quickly. Last month, we may have universally agreed that teaching kindergartners about sex and transsexuals is wrong. Shouldn't do that. Not a good idea. But this month, I don't know. We used to agree that a man shouldn't be allowed to bunk with a woman in a women's prison because sex will happen. But California, they can't figure out why the trans women,

the people who were men, still are men, somehow or another, they've been introduced into the prison, but the women suspiciously, strangely, almost miraculously, are finding themselves pregnant in an all-women's prison. Colorado just passed a law saying that unborn babies have no rights and can be aborted at any time without restrictions. We are so far away from safe, legal, and rare, which should show us that the slippery slow, is real but my question is have we hit bottom yet we have taken moral agreements for granted we have not paid attention to our national values or tended them we expected them just to naturally sustain themselves that hasn't worked can we count on knowing right and wrong innately or do we need

something that guides us is right and wrong does decided individually, or do we have to agree on it? For example, if I only believe that murder is wrong, but my neighbor who wants to kill me does not, then I think we're going to struggle living in a neighborhood together. A nation requires at least a minimum level of moral order, or else the system collapses. Look what's happening in our cities. The question of our time is actually how much order do we need? Terrible things, yes, have been done in the name of God and religion, but let's not forget the horrid things done under the umbrella of a godless system like

Nazism and communism. Communism alone is estimated to kill up to over 100 million people last century. The only thing that beat communism and death was disease. Yet I argue that our ideas of morality are not conceived of independently. Morality is received from the wisdom of others throughout history. In America, our morality has Judeo-Christian framework, a framework many of us have just taken for granted. This morality is baked into our system of government through the protection of natural rights, the freedom of religion, the value placed on human life, equal justice, and so on. There's a God-shaped hole in all of us.

As Aristotle said, nature abhors a vacuum. He meant this as a physical principle, but it is aged into an idiom that basically means, if there's a hole, it's going to be filled. We see this in practice when somebody tries to quit smoking. The smoker doesn't usually quit the habit without forming a new habit. That's because we humans are more motivated by positive actions than negative ones. When I want to smoke, I'll chew gum instead, more powerful than when I want to smoke, I just, I'm not going to do it.

Yes, that it work. In religious circles, there's a concept that inside every person there is a God-shaped hole. And if God doesn't fill that hole, something else will. And it's usually not something real good. in Matthew 43 Jesus warned of this in a cautionary tale he told his disciples he said an unclean spirit came out of a man and then traveled around looking for somewhere else to live it didn't find anywhere so it went back to the man and found that the hole he was living in before was still totally empty so he grabbed seven more unclean spirits and they all moved back in together and the man was worse off than he was before the man was in the parable neglected to fill his whole and his life was much worse because of it it's kind of like what happened during the french revolution the french revolutionaries destroyed institutions without understanding the role of those institutions and the importance that they played in

holding their nation together and in the end they weren't better off they were far worse off Friedrich Nietzsche. Yeah, the man who wrote the Antichrist. That's a surprise on Easter week. The man who railed against Christianity. He's remembered for his work, the madman in which he wrote, God is dead. God remains dead.

And we have killed him. How can we console ourselves the murderers of all murderers? Now, most of us know that line. Time Magazine in the 1960s came out and they celebrated. They made it just God is dead. But the sentence that he followed the murderer of all murderers with is important. Who will wipe this blood off of us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

What festivals of atonement? What sacred games shall we have to invent? It is not the greatness of this deed. It is the greatness of this deed. that is too great for us, must we not become gods simply to appear worthy of this? Nietzsche, in that sentence, asked the question that we should be wrestling with today.

Absent God, how do we atone for our sins? Well, we have to become gods ourselves. In our society, we're already answering that question. but too many people are not realizing it. There is a new God in town. Who can take our guilt away? The cult of wokeism?

We now have people going to the mob on Twitter to absolve their guilt when they sin against its religion. Worse yet, is there even forgiveness in this new religion? the high priests of wokeism, what's his name, ex-Kendi, they will tell you if you are white, you will always be guilty. Does this religion have forgiveness? And who grants that forgiveness? If you look at modern culture, you see, we are trying in every way we can to absolve ourselves of guilt. do we give acknowledgments to every Native American tribe, hoping that we feel better about us existing?

We apologize for assuming that someone who looks like a man is a man. We've started to say things like, ah, as a cis white male, I feel it's best for me to keep my mouth shut to make space for other more marginalized voices. We try to atone for our skin color, but you can't. Our sex, but you can't. Our families, our friends, our ancestors, even our old Facebook photos or posts. We will confirm even the most outrageous ideologies if it means we can separate ourselves from guilt. When Nietzsche said God is dead, don't interpret that as God is dead and all is well. No need to give that anymore. Thought we're good.

What he meant was that belief in God was dead. And it was our fault. And that without God, everything about humanity must change. Barack knows. Throughout our history, we have organized ourselves around the belief in God. Belief comfort us in death. It gave us hope despite a problem. impression. It inspired us in battle. Most importantly, that battles that were being fought

within our own self, God gave us the ideal model for our lives. The model for the Judeo-Christian world was Moses and Jesus. But most people, even people, that claim that that is their faith, don't really even understand who those people really were. More and more Americans don't know anything about them. Who is our role model? As we've reasoned God out of our lives, we have incidentally diminished a crucial part of what holds us together as human beings, the part that looks upward to align itself with something better, with holiness.

I see what Nietzsche wrote as a warning to us about the vacuum left when we remove God from a God-shaped hole. Gang, I have news for you. We've already removed him. What are we replacing him with? Do we still hold any truths to be self-evident? I'm a big fan, and I'm sure you are too, of getting the best possible night's sleep available. and the guy who helps me do that is Mike Lindell, believe it or not.

The Glenn Back program. America was never special because every single American believed in God, although many did. What made us special was Americans agreed to participate in a culture that was formed by

those who did believe in God and expected us to behave as if there was a God. I've known many people who don't believe in God. They're good people. Those people hate it when the government encroaches on their personal liver. The government doesn't have a right. Says who? There is no quality justification for individual liberty without God. In America, atheists are equally protected by it because God, somebody bigger than the government,

provided those rights equally to all of us. Before we lose our freedom or worse, our souls, America needs to consider again the role of God and moral order in our nation. This week, Easter week, and the week of Passover. We look at our new God and our old God and ask which one of these will empower us. tomorrow it's not about some mass conversion to a single faith

but we have to look at our old system and its hierarchy it's an America always had God at the top tomorrow we look at science thank you very much Hillary yeah she brings that this has been kind of the big debate

over the past few weeks in conservative I guess very online circle as to whether groomer is the right term to use to describe this. I thought James Lindsay really explained this well when he was on, I guess it was last week. And he talked about, look, you know, the idea that grooming is something that is only about someone who is, you know, someone who has attention on sexual exploits with your child is not the only use of the word. The word means it's also very well utilized in cults.

and grooming someone to a particular worldview and then locking them in with punishments if they vary from it and very legalistic ways of enforcing it. I mean, all of that is very much included in this. Wait until you hear Thursday's segment we just did, you know, America's God. We talk about the cults. And you won't not believe it. It's a 50-page list of what a cults.

is. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There has been a horrible shooting in a subway in New York City, actually in Brooklyn. 13 have heard at least five were shot. There were smoke bombs or something. Apparently the guy was dressed up as a transit cop. We don't know the details, but the president has been briefed on it. We just got that flash. President has been briefed on it. So get ready because there's even more gun control that will come. He is a,

well, we'll get into it here this hour. Stand by. For truth. Imagine going to a restaurant when the waiter brings out your food, it's just a bowl full of burnt little chunks of something. You're like, that's not the steak I

ordered. The winter says, but it is. It has just been sterilized. the French way. I hope you were not expecting nutrition, but the labor is great. Okay, that's not good, but that's what your dog goes through. Hey, ready for dinner? You're ready for dinner? He's like, oh yeah, it's going to be something good because I haven't smelled stuff in the kitchen. And then they get this dried food. They, at least my dog, hates it, until I put on the little fresh secret called rough grins, huh? It is probiotics and the oxidants, vans. And the oxidants,

vitamins, minerals, omega oils, everything that you just taste great. Rough Greens. Folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it, they have a special deal for you. Just go to roughgreens.com slash back, and they'll give you a first bag free. Free, all you pay for is shipping is to make sure your dog loves it as much as Uno does. When your dog does like it, then keep putting the rough greens on the food. And over the next few months, you're going to see massive changes. At least I did in my dog, because of Rough Greens.

833, G-L-E-N-N-33. That's 833 Glenn 33. It's roughgreens.com slash beg. Oh, you know, believe it or not, there was a day when this show was rooted in comedy. I say this to people now and they're like, what? We used to go on the road 20 to 40 days a year, and we would do comedy shows. and mainly I got into this format, and Stu, correct me if I'm wrong, to mock this format. Mainly that was the plan, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, too many of us take ourselves way too seriously. And I've strangely become one of those people that are just like, and it slowly happened. It's like the frog being boiled. You don't notice. 9-11 happened. And we had to take our job more seriously. and I realized, I'm a dope. I don't know anything.

So we had to, you know, we're going to just, we're going to just figure this out, and then we're going to go back to normal. Well, I never went back to normal. And then as, as the stakes kept getting higher and higher, I mean, I became more serious on finding answers. And then I, I was led to this new feeling, this, this calling this responsibility to warn you on what was coming because nobody else. in the media most of them don't even care they don't I mean it is shark eyes you start talking to

some of these people in the media about what's really happening they're like they don't even they don't care at all so nobody is really alerting you which I felt I had to do but then also the audience you know as a general audience I mean as America most people just are looking for normalcy they really don't want to know. You know, I've asked myself, and we've asked ourselves among our group, several times. Because once you know something, you can't unknow it. Well, no, wait a minute. Joe Biden is proof that's not true, because I think he knew a lot of things.

And now he's like, do, do, do, whatever, anyway, once you know something, you can't unknow it. And then what do you do with it? So we've asked each other several times. So would it have been better if we just kept making fun of stuff and we were living in a bubble that we didn't really know the stuff we knew? Would we be, would we be happier? No, no, we'd find something to be miserable about. Come on. We're on the radio.

Talk radio. You've got to be pissed about something. No profit ever, you know, ends his days in a lazy chair. because most people don't want to know, you know. And they'll tune out because I think this is too big of a problem for me. I mean, what will be will be, God will take care of it. No, you know, he's really no, uh-uh. He's not your mom.

He's your dad. Dad's the one that always came in and said, your mother has said, clean this room up. I want it clean. Okay. He's your dad. He's not like, please clean up your room. Please clean up your room.

Okay, well, I'm tired of asking him, so I'll clean up the room. Uh-uh. We wash our hands and we wait for somebody else to fix it. Then, worse yet, we get on Facebook and we apply our filters and pretend we have our crap together. Look at me. I'm actually thinking about doing something on my Facebook and Instagram where I just take a picture of me every morning that I get out of bed. Because it's a horror show. It's a horror show.

But we look for the dopamine hit. You know, we take selfies in places. We're not really even seeing. You know, we're just like, oh, kangaroo, let me get a selfie. And we move on with our lives. We're too busy looking at our screen. Nothing is real and nothing has meaning. And I guess technically we're working with our hands as we're typing and posting.

but we're not creating anything. Really, what are we creating? Online. Think how much time you have. What are you creating with your hands? Nothing of value. I don't think. Maybe in a thousand years people will go back and read some of our Facebook posts and go,

oh my gosh, that was incredibly deep. But I highly doubt it. So we're living in a dream world. and by doing that we make ourselves slaves of whatever is coming our way because how many people do you know that you talk to and you're like hey do you have like food storage or something do you see that like uh the world's on fire no i don't pay attention to that i'm just so sick of watching the news it just gets me down you're like okay all right move away from this person they're going to be a slave to whatever

happens. They're going to need somebody. Oh, and there will always be someone there to help you. You know, the problem is really, because of the filters, we had this in the past. We remember our past in technicolor or kota chrome. Do you remember that? Where the colors were very, very vivid. Yeah, that's distortion.

That didn't really look like that. No, grass was never that green. So we look at the guys who were probably, I mean, seriously, I don't mean to be crass or anything or show any disrespect. But I mean this sincerely. How many people, when that door fell open on those boats at Omaha, how many guys actually crapped their pants or peed their pants? I bet a lot. I bet a lot did. but you don't get that on Smellivision.

You're like, look at those heroes out there storming the beaches. Man, that's when men were men. They were crap in their pants, most likely. But they did it. Those who rode the freedom bus to march with Martin Luther King, I don't think they were all like, yep, this is going to be a picnic. We're going to have a nice time in Washington, D.C. No, no, but they did it.

Isn't it amazing? the last time we we silenced people that, you know, others disagreed with was the McCarthy hearings. Remember how shameful that was? What's the difference besides now communism is neat? The difference is we don't stand, I think, because we have a place to escape to, a digital landscape. It's another world where everyone is perfect. All kids behave themselves and there are no problems. When I was growing up, you nasty little kids, we only had one reality and it sucked, but we did it.

You know, the news can really get you down. I know, I'm an expert. News can really get you down. And then you go home. And then your house is on fire. And you're like, okay, well, not all of the kids. Nope, nope, now all of the kids are on fire. Okay, that's good.

But I want you to know, I am not here. I've, I've, something's happening in me. And I think it's good, I think. What I felt my job was to warn. My job is changing. It still will be to warn, but it's also to encourage you. Because I know what life is like. I live out there too.

He can't understand my life Wanna swap places? I bet you they're the same Except no My pillow I was going to say Except I have nicer sheets No We're living in a time where Frank Sinatra was right

Some people just get their kicks On stomping on your dreams My father was right He always said You better know who you are Glenn Say this with me I am

blank fill in the blank What are you filling it in with Who are you going to be? I am What? I'm like I am a disc jockey And he's like that's ridiculous

Stop it Otherwise I'm going to say you are stupid He's like It's got to be What? Who do you want to be? Not what do you want to be Who do you want to be?

I am strong. I am independent He said if you don't say those things. Believe me, there will be someone or the entire world will fill it in for you. Your family does this. I'm still the stinky little brother. I am the stinky little brother. Still that to my sisters. Our families do it. Then the office does it. School does it. The world does it. And look at how it's filling things in for you right now. What are you? I'm racist. I'm sexist. I'm white.

And if you're actually on the popular side, what are they teaching you to say? I'm helpless. I'm impoverished. I'm just someone who needs somebody else to do everything for me because I can't do it because I'm not successful and I'm not ever going to be successful. because I can't be successful. My gosh, do you want to live in that world? This is all leading somewhere as I just in the break just got news that a friend of mine passed away.

You won't know her name. Few will know her name. But I hope when I die, I can be successful, as successful as she was. I'll explain in a minute. Well, looks like CNN finally got around to listening to things that, you know, we've been talking about here for a while. Sit down for this. CNN is reporting, and I quote, breaking news, the dollar might be in trouble. Wow. That was breaking

news about 2008. The dollar is our country's greatest weapon and we blew it up. We, yeah, we press the button on the dollar. Now other countries are going, wait a minute, if they'll do that to Russia, I might want to get away from the dollar. This is going to lead to further debasement of our dollar. According to the IMF over the last 20 years, a quarter of global reserves have shifted from the dollar. That's good, huh? They told us, you know, before it was breaking news,

they told us that would never happen. Well, it's happening. Goldline is offering a special on their historic $5 Indian coins. These are gold coins. Also, they have the new one-ounce silver Ben Franklin round, which is an ounce of silver. They are beautiful, beautiful. I helped design them. They have the Ben Franklin seal of America that if you don't think we were a God-based country

or that Ben Franklin didn't believe in God, you should see what he designed as the seal for America. It wasn't the eagle. And it wasn't the turkey. It was Pharaoh and Moses. It's on the back of that silver round. You can get them for a limited time. I think they have the gold ones coming in. Also, they have them in copper as well.

Call gold line now. 866 Goldline 10 seconds station ID So I I want to just I wanted to briefly tell you about my friend Her name was D.N. Blair

And she was an actress had success then moved to Texas and wanted to do something for kids wanted to help kids have a theater experience, a safe theater experience. And so they started her and her husband, artisan theater in 2003.

My daughter joined about 2010 or 11. She has learned so much and grown so much. And I have seen these kids grow so much. And my daughter is currently playing Ariel from The Little Mermaid. And I have to tell you, I'm the big fat guy crying outside when I'm watching her talk to these little kids. These little girls are coming up and they just see Ariel. And she's like, hi, how are you? And she is like a perfect little princess.

And I see these kids look up to her and it's just such a great thing. And their standards have not changed. They even edit out the children's versions. They edit out things that they don't think is appropriate. And they hold to those standards. This woman has changed so many lives in the last 25 years. So many lives. And you won't know her name.

But that's not why she was here. That's not why any of us are here. I want to encourage you to do what you feel. you're supposed to do. Stop being the person that the world has made you into. Stop doing the things that the world is telling you must do. Do the things that you know are right and good. Even if they make you think no difference at all, they do.

I'm encouraging you to do whatever it is that you. you're supposed to do because it will encourage others. And that's the biggest problem with our country today. It's discouraging, discouraging, taking courage out. Encourage. Bringing courage in. Fill in the blank, I am blank. And say it to yourself over and over and over again for the next 60 days.

Write it down. Put it on the dashboard of your car. put it on your mirror. Because you are that person. You've just allowed somebody or the world to talk you out of it. And maybe it's just been you talking you out of it. Become that person. There's enough darkness in the world.

We need bringers of light. Be that person. Back in just a minute. American Financing NMLS 1-8-2-334. www. NMLS Consumer Access. Okay, let me ask a question. Stu, does the Fed know the higher the number?

I mean, they should be playing the inflation rate like golf. It's the lower the number, the better it is. They might not know all the rules. Okay. I don't know if they know any of the rules. Inflation has continued to rise. It is now 8.5% up from 7.9. But don't worry.

It's just more than they expected. but they're on it, they're on it. Your interest rates are going to go up. They're going to go through the roof, especially on credit cards. The banks are going to start tightening things up, and they want to make sure that you're going to be able to pay, and so they'll make it impossible for you to pay by increasing the credit card charges. The interest rate, get out of those.

Please call American financing right now. Do a free mortgage review. See if you can use the equity that you have in. in your home right now, while the prices of housing is so high, get out of those credit card debt. Call 800906 2440, 800906 2440. All righty then. So, we have the president coming out yesterday and saying that, you know, guns are not just one solid piece. Now, I didn't know that.

Did you know that? All kinds of pieces in a gun. More than, well, you're saying plural, like more than one piece? There's more than one piece. How? It just, so they're not born that way? No, they're not born that way. They're not born that way.

But it's because we piece them together that they slowly become killers. Oh. Because I know one of the biggest, my understanding, I just want to make sure I, I'm not a crime expert. Not a crimeologist. Right. My understanding is all, you know, drug dealers that are killing each other in the streets of these cities run by Democrats, largely are hobbyists that stay home

and build guns from spare parts. They get mailed from all over the world. And they spend hours and hours and hours manufacturing the guns on their own so they can avoid those serial numbers. They do not want to shoot someone and murder someone with a serial numbered gun. Well, you know, what's

really interesting is you know, he was talking about the guns have to have serial numbers. Ghost guns, Glenn. Ghost guns. Guns. guns that are ghosts. Now, I have called Fred. Fred?

Yeah. Who's Fred? With Daphne? Okay. And they're bringing the van here. And they're going to start chasing the ghost guns. Yeah. Okay.

Because I think that's really important that we stop these ghost guns. Oh, the ghost guns. My guess is that there is somebody behind that these aren't really ghost guns. guns. There's some rich guy, maybe powerful guy, that is trying to get the ghost guns and make everybody believe in ghost guns so

they can do whatever, I mean, you know, take over the old mansion or whatever it is. He's probably in a mask. And he's probably going to get away with it if it wasn't for these pesky teenagers that I'm sending with a van to the White House. Could it

get any dumber than the conversation around guns? what are ghost guns responsible for one tenth of a percent maybe of murders in this country? Maybe if we save one ghost And I don't know I can't point to any I mean I know there have been cases

where they certainly uncover some ghost guns It's not a complete nothing It's really close to a complete nothing though It gets really close to it You know the overwhelming majority of quote unquote ghost guns are made by hobbyists who like building guns on their own, and they think it's cool and interesting,

and they're collectors. The average drug dealer, the average criminal, is not going to rob a convenience store after spending 14 hours putting together a firearm when there are 400 million firearms in this country, and they can go buy one for like a dollar. Like, this is not an, it's so completely...

You don't have any idea what people... Or they can steal one where they break into the other thing that they broke into last week. You know, you are so wrong on this. People will do anything to get around the laws that are on the books. For instance, you know, the airports. After 9-11, they shut down the airports. There are hobbyists that are now fashioning airplanes out of soap. Oh, no.

And you may get onto a giant soap airplane. And it'll blow up. it'll blow up in bubbles and stuff, but it'll pop eventually and you'll all die. That's how bad it is. Ghost airplanes made out of soap. Yeah. And by the way, can I point out that while you might be able to legally ban soap airplanes, you are not legally able to ban ghost guns or any other kind of gun.

Well, we have a second amendment that does not allow you to infringe on the right of gun owners to own. their weapons and bear arms. Excuse me, they already have serial numbers on all of the soap. And see, what they don't know, these guys in the caves, they're really smart, these hobbyists. What they realized is

but if the soap bubbles up, there's no evidence. The first rainstorm and that plane is gone. All evidence gone. That's true. It could happen at any time. Just saying, we should make guns out of soap and only commit crimes

right before rainstorms. This is why they do put cereal numbers on cheese. Really? Government cheese? Not government cheese. Not government cheese. Cheese produced, particularly in Europe, is at a high risk of being stolen.

And this is a real thing. And they're putting serial numbers on cheese. They put cereal numbers on cheese. Now, I don't know. It seems like a bite might get rid of the serial number. Well, you could probably go to jail for five. I'd be filing off the serial number of that cheese.

But it's true. They just had a huge theft of cheese. It was over $100,000, like $100,000 of cheese. Don't you win. Let me give you the most mind-blowing stat in the world. And it can't be true. I know. But I'm going to tell you anyway.

Wait, I've got so many questions. Who has $100,000 worth of cheese? I mean, is it in a collection? Is there a cheese museum? It was a manufacturer that said they sell cheese, like giant Parmesan wheels. Okay, that's an odd business to go in, you know, and good luck fencing that cheese. Hey, I've got some wheels of cheese. What do you?

Who is buying the black market cheese? I don't know. I don't know. I want to know. You know, like, who's not going to, you know what? I can say 18%. You know who it is? What?

People who are hobbyists making their own ghost guns. They're not making ghost cheese, are they? No, no, of course not. That would be wrong. Okay. So, 3500 pounds of cheese stolen $23,000 in value U.S. In 2016, 160,000 pounds of cheese was stolen from multiple stores. Listen to this stat, and it's going to blow your mind.

Of all the cheese. made in the entire world. Yeah. About 4% of it is stolen. How on earth is that possible? We are 4% of all cheese is stolen. Probably from the employees of the cheese factory. I don't know.

Taking it out slice by slice, they're building themselves a cow or something. I don't know what they're building, but what person is like, hey, you know, I could see. I was going to go to the grocery store. But then this guy in this alley had this deal. See, I could shed her and I had to pull the trigger on it. I could see it happening, you know, that maybe 1% is at the supermarket.

You know, somebody just picks it up and puts it in their goal. Maybe, maybe. But 4%. And it's not just that it's 4%. It's in large quantities. Large quantities of cheese. So it is like, I am a cheese thief. Quiet.

I've got a heist that will blow your mind. We are going to be champions among mice. You would be the hero of the mice. Look, man, I've retired. I can't risk it anymore. I can get back into that game. In the cheese game. The Brie incident of 85.

Almost killed me. Oh, man. I don't. The great cheese heist of 85. Those days, those days don't come back, do they? No. It does seem to be a strange way to go, though. And I guess, you know, it can be really, really expensive, right?

And especially if you're taking a giant, like, 100 pound wheel of Parmesan, I guess. But what do you do with that? Right. Where do you fence it? Where do you sell it? Right. Nobody's eating a hundred pound wheel of cheese. You'll be caught with the evidence, if that's your plan.

I don't think you eat the whole hundred pounds. Right. It would take you a while. And it would be sold at like markets. But again, like what market owner is like, look, I really want to sell cheese here. So I'm going to buy it from this shady guy. Maybe farmers markets. Maybe it is France.

I saw Beauty and the Beast where they have that little square with a fountain and stuff. And she comes out with a book and she's like, I want to read or whatever it is. That. That's a good telling of that story. That's probably where they sell it in cartoons. Sell it to cartoon mice probably. Right. Yeah.

There's a lot of them. And if you're willing to overlook that many of them are transsexual, gus-guts, then you're... Then you'll be fine. You can sell them cheese. I have to say that they stole not only all these cheese wheels, but they also stole the poor wheelbarrows they take to move the cheese. And they took it all.

And now they're trying to figure out how to stop it. And their big solution has been putting, like, stamping numbers into the cheese wheels so that people can identify where the cheese came from. But it's like, cheese is soft. Like, you just can take a knife and take the little numbers come out really easily and no one's going to know where the cheese came from. They will eat the part of the cheese you put the number in. They will enjoy it and sell the rest. And how would you, once you, let's say you don't file off the number off the cheese. Okay.

Let's say they... Grate it off. It's called a cheese grater. You can sell the shredded cheese, too. Let's just say that they've put the numbers huge. Like it's number 1801, and it's been made to stamp all the way through the cheese. Okay. All right.

You just cut it up. I think that's a one in an eight. No, Bill, we don't have it yet. We need 1801. I mean, could be 81, might be 18. You don't know, they've cut it up. Not to mention, this is a product in its most desirable form, which is melted. Can I tell you?

It just doesn't work to stamp numbers. Do you not wish, though, that this was the problem our president was working on? Oh, God. I would put him on the cheese crisis in a second. Throw Kamala out of two. Let somebody know. She's never been to Wisconsin. It would take her about a month to get there, but she'd get there eventually.

All right, let me tell you about life. Anthony blinking on mozzarella. Seriously, wouldn't that be a better thing? Yes. Susan Rice on the on Koso. You could put, oh, is that a racist Hispanic kind of thing? Is Susan Rice Hispanic? Of course she is.

She's not white. I don't know what she is. I don't know what she is. Oh my gosh. How could I know when I can't even define a woman? How would I know what he or she is? All right. Let me tell you about life lock.

Ever tried to clean up a mess while it's still being made? Yeah. That's called having kids. Fun, right? You want somebody to put an end to that problem of them making messes. and you're cleaning it up while they're making it. Here's the thing. Life lock can help you.

Not with a kid. Sorry, you're on your own. I mean, they're only human. But they can try to stop cyber theft from you. And when I say try to stop, that's because nobody can stop everything. It is everywhere. And it is getting really, really bad.

So you need somebody who's on it, who has, you know, lots of experience dealing with it. Huge team knows exactly not just what to look for. but they'll alert you and then if there's a problem, you want a team that helps you clean it up because I have no idea. It's like how do you stamp numbers on cheese? I don't know. How do you clean up after a cybercriminal?

I have no idea. I'm busy working on the numbers on cheese. Use the promo code back at lifelock.com. That's lifelock.com promo code Beck call 800, lifelock, one 800, Lifelock. Lifelock.com promo code Beck. This is the glow. Glenn Beck Program.

This is the Glenn Beck program. 16 people injured, eight shot at a subway station in Brooklyn. No, this is going to be used for political purposes. I hope they've caught the guy. No word yet on, they believe that he was dressed as a transit authority guy, right? Yeah, at least initial reports, and we don't know for sure yet, but the initial reports were that they were dressed as some sort of MTA employee, Metro employee. maybe in a bright orange construction vest.

So, you know, looked like he was working there and then through some sort of device that smoked and then started taking shots at people. And there were reports of several unexploded, undettonated devices that were there. But it's unclear whether that is just, you know, real overly precocious sort of language. Have you followed the two guys that dressed up as DHS?

Yeah. That's a wild story, isn't it? Okay, I don't know why that story isn't getting more widely covered. That seems to be a problem. In case you haven't heard it because it hasn't been widely covered. These two guys lived in a apartment building. They moved into an apartment building that I guess a lot of like secret service agents live in. And they befriended them and they posed as federal agents.

And they gave these guys, the secret service agents, lots of gifts. and seemed to be cozing up to them. And then eventually they found out, they were saying they were federal agents as well for DHS, I think. And then the truth came out and they were not. They were faking it the whole time. I believe their excuses. They were just trying to make friends.

Oh, okay. So, you know, sometimes to make friends, you have to pose a federal agent and give Secret Service agents gifts. Of course. Of course. that happens all the time. But there is obviously espadage

espionage. Was there connections to foreign countries? I heard Iran. Is that possible? There was some worry, but it's not, we don't know if the connections or it's still pretty

preliminary. Should we find that out before we finalize a deal with Iran? Of course not. It's got nothing to do with it. Okay. Okay. But my SUV. The SUV, me not using it, will be connected to the global temperature.

Yes. Right. But like the country that spent millions and millions of dollars supplying people with IEDs to blow up our soldiers in Iraq, those people are totally fine and we should do a deal with them immediately. If that's okay, certainly a couple of guys living in an apartment building is going to be okay. These, the good news is that the foreign minister of Tehran said they're close to having the United States unfreeze $8 billion. Oh, good. Maybe more money. I'm glad.

Let's give them more. They deserve more. Our people deserve less. They deserve more. And who knows, they may be the ones behind the cheese thefts in France. You don't know. I would not put it past the country. The terrorist organization, maybe they need money.

Maybe they are the black market for Wheels of Cheese. What a great show in Turan. Wheel of Cheese!
