Speaker 1 Hello, America. It's Friday.
We're getting right to the show here in 60 Seconds First. Have you ever tried to sprint with a backpack full of bricks? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what it feels like. I mean, not that I've done it.
If you're in debt, I have been there. Especially high-interest debt.
It feels like you're running hard, but you're not getting anywhere.

Speaker 1 Now, imagine somebody comes along, opens up that backpack, and just starts pulling bricks out one by one.

Speaker 1 That's what it's like working with American Financing, because they'll actually sit down and look at your whole financial picture: what you make, what you owe, and what your goals are.

Speaker 1 Then they'll help you build a plan that works for you, not for the bank. I've seen it happen over and over again.
Listeners to this show have written in.

Speaker 1 I mean, Sarah, you just got a low-interest loan. How much money did you save?

Speaker 5 About $500 a month.

Speaker 1 About $500 a month. That's

Speaker 1 not a chunk of change to laugh at.

Speaker 1 Without changing jobs, without selling a kidney, you can start planning. You can have the right tools and live the life that

Speaker 1 you need to live. You want to live.

Speaker 1 Take down the bag of bricks. Put it down.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Well, we've got a lot going on today.

Speaker 1 Just a ton to tell you about.

Speaker 1 You know, there's that story. There's a story that

Speaker 1 comes out of the Dallas, Texas area

Speaker 1 where this kid comes in, they're at a track meet. And he's a kid sitting, you know, where he's not supposed to sit.

Speaker 1 He's sitting underneath a tent where only the people who are on the track team are supposed to sit. So a member of the track team and his brother come in and they say, hey, dude, you got to move.

Speaker 1 This is just for the track team. And he says, I'm not moving.
And he's like, dude,

Speaker 1 you got to move.

Speaker 1 This is where the track team sits.

Speaker 1 There's an exchange.

Speaker 1 All of a sudden, he says, hey,

Speaker 1 you try to move me and you'll see what's happening. He pulls a knife.
He stabs the kid in the chest, just from zero to 60, just stabs him in the chest. He dies in his brother's arms.
Okay,

Speaker 1 this is an open and shut case. This is really quite simple.
Witnesses were there. Everybody knows exactly what's going on.
However, there is a Dallas-based

Speaker 1 defund the police activist and social justice leader that is now involved with the family. And

Speaker 1 there was a press conference yesterday, and I want you to hear what this social justice leader said.

Speaker 7 And all I'm going to say, so it don't be asked later,

Speaker 7 is that was disrespectful

Speaker 7 and just shows you, all,

Speaker 7 the character

Speaker 1 who is not invited,

Speaker 7 he knows that it's inappropriate to be near this family. Hey, stop.

Speaker 1 So what is he talking about here? What is this press conference about? I thought this press conference was to defend the kid that stabbed the other kid for no reason.

Speaker 1 Well, no, it turned in because the kid whose son had died showed up at the press conference.

Speaker 1 And he's excoriated for showing up. You weren't invited.
Who are you? Get out.

Speaker 1 Who are you to show up here? It is wholly inappropriate. You know you're not supposed to be around this family.

Speaker 1 Excuse me?

Speaker 1 I'm sorry. What?

Speaker 1 Now, let me tell you who this guy is.

Speaker 1 He's the guy he has been trying to,

Speaker 1 you know, rally a defense for Carmelo Anthony. That's the teenager.
He's 17 years old. He's already gotten him, you know, gotten his bail reduced.
by a great deal.

Speaker 1 And he said, hey, I want to sincerely thank everybody for the overwhelming support you've shown.

Speaker 1 This is just the beginning of a long legal journey, and we'll continue to stand strong in defense of his rights. Okay, he has rights, but how are you defending him just stabbing another kid?

Speaker 1 When he hosted the press conference, disrespect for the dignity, disrespect.

Speaker 1 His dad shows up to the press conference. Uninvited.

Speaker 1 Uninvited. It was disrespectful and just shows all of you the character.
The character of what? The character of the dad showing up? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, I would think I would show up.
I want my son, I want my son's killer to go to jail. I might show up.

Speaker 1 So it goes viral, and that's when everybody online starts to be a little detective, and they find out some things about him.

Speaker 1 This guy's ex and his Facebook account reveal that he's played a pivotal role in helping mobilize on behalf of Corey Bush's winning campaigns in 2020 and 2022.

Speaker 1 Bush praised Alexander and his group for their perseverance and dedication, and their commitment to this work is just unmatched.

Speaker 1 In 2021, Alexander said it was truly an honor to join Bush as she was sworn into Congress. So

Speaker 1 this guy that held the press conference and said, that just shows the character of the dead boy's dad

Speaker 1 chose a photo. We have a photo now of her, Corey Bush, and Alexander at her swearing in.
So he attends her swearing in. This is going to get good.
Hang on, buckle up.

Speaker 1 He said, I had the honor of seeing history in the making by seeing this beautiful black queen, Corey Bush, elected to Congress. I don't know if you know this.
We don't have queens.

Speaker 1 So anyway,

Speaker 1 he says

Speaker 1 in another post,

Speaker 1 he said, I am so proud of her as an actual frontline protester.

Speaker 1 We saw her yesterday sacrifice for millions facing eviction in America, our movement,

Speaker 1 our congresswoman. Okay, so she's part of the standing up for the eviction of, I'm sorry, millions facing eviction.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they were here illegally. He goes on, he does all kinds of pro-Bush

Speaker 1 posts.

Speaker 1 He then says in a 2024 post, we live in a country that doesn't want to address white supremacy.

Speaker 1 He wants reparations.

Speaker 1 So you're getting to know who he is, right? You know, he's a radical revolutionary. But wait, this time there's more.

Speaker 1 Apparently, he's also a career criminal.

Speaker 1 NBC5 here in Dallas reported that he had an arrest warrant in 2019.

Speaker 1 Arrest warrant affidavits stated that Alexander's longtime partner had reported to police that he had shoved her and tried to strangle her.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 she declined after she called police to file charges because the police, they just,

Speaker 1 you can't trust the police. Oh, oh, okay.
All right.

Speaker 1 He also served two days in jail after pleading guilty to a felony theft case in 2021. Remember, that's just a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 After four years of this hanging over my head, I decided to avoid a jury trial in Trump County that wouldn't have given me a fair shot at all. Okay.

Speaker 1 He was sentenced to two years in prison, also for repeatedly violating his probation.

Speaker 1 2009, a local report details how Alexander was arrested for abusive, sorry, allegedly causing serious head injuries. to his then-girlfriend's two-year-old son while he was babysitting.

Speaker 1 So now we're getting into

Speaker 1 abuse, babysitting a child.

Speaker 1 Two years old, he takes this kid into the hospital. He says, no,

Speaker 1 mom and I and the baby, we're on the couch and he just rolled off the couch.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, the doctor said, yeah, that's not possible. We're looking at the injuries here.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 this is trauma.

Speaker 1 and more consistent with abusive head trauma and child physical abuse. Okay, so we got that going for us as well.

Speaker 1 Not long after he was arrested for injury to a child causing severe bodily harm, he got into trouble for forging a check, leading police on a high-speed chase, stealing a car, and then claiming that

Speaker 1 his car that was stolen was his car. It wasn't his car, it was a stolen car.
Anyway,

Speaker 1 so he brought a couple of character witnesses with him to trial. Didn't work out well.
One of them had just met him, and the other one didn't have any idea that he was

Speaker 1 on probation or breaking his probation. The judge is like, and you know, Brody is, no, no, I didn't know that.
He never told me that. He's been in trouble.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So he's got all kinds of other things, like he praises Louis Farrakhan. And if you see in that press meeting, you see the guy with a bow tie.
That's Louis Farrakhan's people.

Speaker 1 And so,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 he's supported the nation of Islam despite the comments that Jews are termites and,

Speaker 1 you know, they're wicked termites.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't know what kind of other termites you have, I mean, other than wicked termites, but I generally, you know, generally don't praise Louis Farrakhan and those kinds of comments, but he does.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's what we have going on in Dallas. Notice how dark things are getting.
Okay. Notice what people are standing up for.
They're standing up to burn down Tesla.

Speaker 1 They're standing up to defend the guy who killed the

Speaker 1 healthcare CEO and saying, well, it was kind of justified, really, because, you know, I'll tell you how violent things are.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 health insurance is violence right now. So don't talk to me about violence.
Okay, all right. So we have that going for us.

Speaker 1 We also have

Speaker 1 people that are refusing to

Speaker 1 speak out against any any kind of violence on their side, including

Speaker 1 the burning down of Teslas, the hassling of Tesla owners, the doxing of people,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 the killing of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We showed you yesterday, it's over 50% now if you're on the left.
Even if you say you're slightly liberal,

Speaker 1 it's over 50% of that population believes that it is fine to kill Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Okay.

Speaker 1 Last night I found another story.

Speaker 1 This is an op-ed. This is one last night when I read it, I sent it directly to Cash Mattel.
Said, FBI might want to investigate this one.

Speaker 1 Wait till I read it to you. Next.

Speaker 1 In the last three years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S.
dollar has lost over 16% of its purchasing power. Let that sink in.

Speaker 1 Over the last three years, you have lost 16 cents on every dollar of your purchasing power.

Speaker 1 That's kind of a big slip.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, since gold, since 2000, gold is up over 600%.

Speaker 1 Why? Because they're correlated.

Speaker 1 When the dollar loses value, gold gains value. So why isn't everybody hedging with gold right now? I don't know.
I think because most people think, well, I don't have enough money.

Speaker 1 You've got enough money for silver.

Speaker 1 If you have any savings, you just take 10% of that. Whatever you have, I don't care what it is.

Speaker 1 I would recommend, and don't take my advice. I'm not a legal, you know, some sort of financial advisor, but I know I have 10%

Speaker 1 until I lost it in the lake accident with all the guns and all my food storage and everything else. But if you have any kind of savings, please, gold up over 600%

Speaker 1 since 2000. And look at it now.
It's over 3,000. It's like $3,300.

Speaker 1 Remember when it was just going to break 2,000? That was, what, last year, year after, year before? I mean, it's been 18 months. We're now $3,300.

Speaker 1 Please, please protect what's yours. Call 800-957-GOLD.

Speaker 1 All right. Now, I want to read something

Speaker 1 by Nicholas Decker.

Speaker 1 The story on Substack is when we must kill them.

Speaker 1 Evil has come to America. The present administration is engaged in barbarism.
It has arbitrarily imprisoned its opponents,

Speaker 1 revoked the visas of thousands of students, imposed taxes on us without our consent, and seeks to destroy the institution which opposes it.

Speaker 1 Its leaders have threatened those who produce unfavorable coverage and suggested that their license be revoked. It has deprived us in many cases of trial by jury.

Speaker 1 It has subjected us to jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and it has transported us beyond seas to be imprisoned for pretend offenses.

Speaker 1 It has scorned the orders of the courts and it threatens to alter fundamentally our form of government. It has pardoned its thugs and extorted the lawyers who defended its opponents.
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 If these actions become normal, the government could arrest anyone and deport them to prison in foreign land without any hope of redress and for no reason.

Speaker 1 It is nothing less than the total abdication of the rule of law in this country. There is no guard or protection against it.
If this theory prevails, then it is the end of America as a free nation.

Speaker 1 Now, first of all, if you were saying this maybe four years ago, you might have some credibility because I can look at both sides and say, hey, you know, there's some real things that are disturbing here, but you have no credibility on this.

Speaker 1 None.

Speaker 1 And your conclusion is disturbing, even if it were all true. I do not wish for this essay to be a mere catalog of outrages.
The conduct of

Speaker 1 the present administration is well known to you as it is by myself and can be understood by any sensible person. On it, no further comment is ventured.
What remains for us is to decide when we fight.

Speaker 1 If the present administration wills it, it could sweep away the courts, it could sweep away democracy, it could sweep away freedom. Again, where were you four years ago?

Speaker 1 Protest is useful only insofar as it can affect action. Our words might sway the hearts of men, but not the beasts.
If the present administration chooses this course, then

Speaker 1 the question of the day can be settled, not with legislation, but with blood and iron. In short, we all must now decide when we must kill them.

Speaker 1 None of us wish for war, but if the

Speaker 1 present administration wishes to destroy the nation, I would accept war rather than see it perish. I hope you would choose the same, but what to do?

Speaker 1 The rot of our present administration runs deeper than one man. The sacrifice of a hero is insufficient to save our nation, and a gust of wind on a summer day would not have saved us.

Speaker 1 For let us make no mistake, the problem is not one man, but a whole class of people. If one head is cut off, the other will take its place.

Speaker 1 Violence only makes sense as part of a coordinated strategy. This is why protests are important, not as a way of changing the present administration's actions, but as a way to coordinate a group.

Speaker 1 There may come a time when we shall have no guarantee of freedom, but the one which we make for ourselves.

Speaker 1 If it comes, I tell you there is no greater honor than he who lays down his life for his friends. Until then, we must wait.
And when is that time? Well, your threshold may differ from mine.

Speaker 1 But you have to have one.

Speaker 1 If the present administration should cancel elections, if it should engage in fraud in the electoral process, if it should suppress the speech of its opponents, jail its political adversaries, if it ignores the will of Congress, if it should directly spurn the orders of the court, all of these are reasons for revolution.

Speaker 1 It may be the best to stave off and wait for elections to throw out this scourge, but if we should threaten the ability to remove it, we shall have no choice. We will have to do the right thing.

Speaker 1 We will have to prepare ourselves ourselves to die. I hope that we should conduct ourselves first with such courage that it will be our finest hour.
I expect that we shall do our duty.

Speaker 1 While we wait, we must not be like sheep to the slaughter. We cannot cooperate.
We must

Speaker 1 hide those who are persecuted. We must foil the aims of their agents.
The state and local governments, which we control, can litigate the actions of the present administration.

Speaker 1 Their police can refuse to share information or be deputized to do the work of the evil ones. If war is politics by other means, then politics is war by other means.

Speaker 1 There can be no surrender, for surrender means oppression of us all. These are exceptional times.
We have not faced such a threat in many, many years. I wish it had not come.

Speaker 1 It is the sorrow of the world that these times have come, and we shall have to bring woe unto those whom it came.

Speaker 1 The future is not certain. It may be the present administration should flinch and turn back in the face of lighter action.

Speaker 1 I fondly hope that may be the case, but if it comes, we must awaken from this ignorant dream. This evil will not pass without blood, sweat, and toil and tears.

Speaker 1 So harden your hearts and prepare to die.

Speaker 1 Like I said, I sent that one to the FBI when I saw it yesterday.

Speaker 1 That's from the left.

Speaker 1 If anybody is

Speaker 1 any comments, anyone? Anyone? Bueller, Bueller, anybody? Any comments on who we're dealing with? Again, let me go back. The activist I just told you about that

Speaker 1 is defending a kid that for no reason

Speaker 1 stabbed another kid to death in the bleachers in front of witnesses.

Speaker 1 You have Taylor Lorenz refusing to condemn Luigi Mangion.

Speaker 1 Ha.

Speaker 1 We are witnessing a transformation of the left now. We are not seeing just these far right or far left radicals in Portland.
They are starting to seep through everywhere.

Speaker 1 And Democrats, you must distance yourself from them.

Speaker 1 You must distance yourself.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck. You know, a really important thing to learn when you're buying or selling a home, your real estate agent matters like a lot.

Speaker 1 A great agent is going to fight for your price, negotiate like a pro, and know exactly how to time the market. A bad one, they're going to smile a lot while you lose a lot of money.

Speaker 1 That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust. I wanted a network of agents who aren't just in it for the commission.

Speaker 1 I wanted people who live by the values that I believe in, honesty, service, accountability, those who have actually been vetted for their performance and their best practices.

Speaker 1 I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and I learned what makes them the best.

Speaker 1 And then we started looking for more of those people. Whether you're moving across town or across the country, we'll connect you with somebody who knows your market inside and out.

Speaker 1 And we just don't recommend, I mean, we vet these people six ways to Sunday. If we don't have somebody in your area, we're not just going to recommend somebody because it matters.

Speaker 1 We have a huge, probably a 10,000-person waiting list

Speaker 1 of people, but we want to make sure we keep this number small enough so we can monitor every single transaction and make sure it's a great experience for you. Realestateagents I trust.com.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glen Beck program. It's Friday.

Speaker 4 Terrifying essay to start off a Friday, Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Were you shocked by that when I read that?

Speaker 4 Yes. Yes and no.

Speaker 1 Okay, in case you just joined us, I just read an essay by Nicholas Decker. I want people to know who he is, Substack.

Speaker 1 And he writes about how, you know, I mean, the title of the essay is, When Must We Kill Them?

Speaker 1 When must we kill them? Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm thinking not at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Not even close. Not even close during the last administration.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 4 I'm shocked by the essay, obviously, although after talking about

Speaker 4 the killer of the United Healthcare CEO, no reaction on the left, you mentioned it there.

Speaker 4 I won't mention his name.

Speaker 4 I think we should implement the same policy we have on mass shooters with this guy. He's turning into a freaking cult hero on the left, and I refuse to give him any more attention.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 4 that attitude is this attitude, right? Like

Speaker 4 the line for Taylor Lorenz just happens to be killing some innocent father and husband

Speaker 4 in the middle of the street for no reason. But the line for the left is

Speaker 4 clear. It's clear that it's closer than it should be.
And I think there's a lot of people on the left who think this way. We saw it sometimes with the climate crazy people on that.

Speaker 4 We've seen it over and over and over again. And you've been very, very clear, as we all have, I think, around here, that

Speaker 4 we're nowhere close to that line. Just because you don't like Donald Trump, just because you think he's a bad president or you think he does things that are mean, we're nowhere close to that line.

Speaker 4 Because you think the climate and its one degree of warming over 100 years is really, really dangerous, that we're nowhere close to that line. And because you think United Healthcare occasionally

Speaker 4 says no to a claim that you believe should be covered, no, no, that's also not a reason. And the same thing goes, by the way, for the previous administration.

Speaker 4 Like, I couldn't stand Joe Biden. How many times, Glenn, people were so sick sick of hearing me rant about the student loan unconstitutionality.

Speaker 1 Unconstitutional.

Speaker 4 Completely unconstitutional.

Speaker 1 The

Speaker 1 taking of Donald Trump and trying to throw him in jail every step of the way. Just so unbelievably un-American.
Just

Speaker 1 crazy corruption. Absolutely.
But did we say that it was time to go out and even think? Did we ever say, you know, when do we kill them? No, no.

Speaker 4 In fact, you were very, you held that line very, very strongly. Because

Speaker 4 there is understandable anger on both sides, right?

Speaker 4 Like, if you were on the left right now and you saw a lot of the things that we really like that Donald Trump is doing on the right, you'd be very frustrated.

Speaker 4 And there were times where, you know, some people on social media and

Speaker 4 people on the right got angry and said things like that.

Speaker 4 That said that the line that you just talked about in that essay is closer than we should all think it is. And over and over and over again, you were very consistent that no, it's not.

Speaker 4 Think about what the founders had to deal with. Oh my gosh, it's a totally different, it's not even close.
No. And look, one of the things,

Speaker 4 generally speaking,

Speaker 4 I still have my complaints, but like the student loan thing was a big thing. I was really, really angry about it.
Generally speaking, the courts got that right and reversed him and stopped him.

Speaker 4 We do have a system. Another part of that system was, by the way, Joe Biden/slash Kamala Harris losing.
Yes. That's part of the system too.
Yes.

Speaker 1 A really, really important part of it.

Speaker 4 And so this stuff should be rejected. It's not all that important that we reject that essay.
What is important is that there are people on the left that do it today and tomorrow and this week. Yes.

Speaker 4 And I don't know that we'll see it.

Speaker 1 I'm concerned. We're not going to.
We are not going to. I hope we do.
No, we won't. I really hope we do.

Speaker 1 I hope so too.

Speaker 4 I think when you saw Elizabeth Warren's reaction to the United Healthcare CEO's murder, it was like, yeah, but healthcare.

Speaker 4 That was her reaction to an innocent father and husband getting murdered in the streets.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 but,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 4 come on, guys, healthcare. It is pretty bad.
I mean, look. We can all talk about, and we have for years.
We've complained about the healthcare system in many, many ways, though.

Speaker 4 I think a lot of people complain about it more than is justified. That being said, it's never a reason to go.
I don't care what a company does to you.

Speaker 1 You don't go and murder the CEO.

Speaker 4 Thou shalt not. It's pretty clear.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 this is so very dangerous. And I'm bringing it up today because this has to be policed by the left.
This has to be.

Speaker 1 If I had said any of those things, one paragraph of that two-page opinion piece, if I would have said or written one paragraph and released that, I would have lost my job. And probably rightfully so.

Speaker 1 I would have lost my job.

Speaker 1 And the media and the left would have ensured it.

Speaker 1 That wouldn't have been right. But,

Speaker 1 you know, people saying, Glenn, you're off the deep end here.

Speaker 1 That's the right thing. That's the right way to respond.
They're not even going to say anything about this. And it's because it's becoming a culture of death.
And that's what happens when you...

Speaker 1 When you reject

Speaker 1 eternal principles, when you take God out, you will have another God. And that God, whether it's the planet or the government or just you and your grievance, whatever your God becomes,

Speaker 1 you know, ends justify the means. There's only really one God that says, no, no, no, no, no, no, turn the other cheek.
There's one.

Speaker 1 It's Easter weekend. It's Good Friday.
They killed that guy. They killed that guy.

Speaker 1 They said he was a revolutionary. No, no, he was a revolutionary in a totally different way.
He was a revolutionary exactly the way Martin Luther King was a revolutionary.

Speaker 1 He came and was preaching peace. Now, the difference between him and Martin Luther King, well, there's a lot of them, but one of them is this guy was actually the savior of all mankind.

Speaker 1 He came for our sins. But if we forget who we are, there's a great op-ed on the Blaze,

Speaker 1 Exodus Warns Us,

Speaker 1 by

Speaker 1 Aaron Wexler. After miracles, people forget.
Listen to this and check this. Don't just hear the words, but actually

Speaker 1 apply them to today.

Speaker 1 After miracles, the people still forget.

Speaker 1 The same amnesia that happened with the Jews now threatens America's soul unless we choose to remember. Love that.
Choose. Choose to remember.

Speaker 1 You can't just say, I forgot. No, you knew it at one point.
You chose to just let it go by.

Speaker 1 Passover has just ended, a central story for the Jews and Christians alike, but also the defining narrative for America. What?

Speaker 1 How?

Speaker 1 America's founders drew heavily from the Exodus and the Hebrew prophets. They studied Hebrew.
Some even even proposed it as the official language of the United States. Did you know that?

Speaker 1 Benjamin Franklin, for his part, suggested that the national seal feature Moses crossing the parted Red Sea.

Speaker 1 The reverence for this story runs deep in our DNA.

Speaker 1 It's no accident that Hollywood, the most American of art forms, has returned to it again and again and again to retell the Exodus story.

Speaker 1 And yet as a nation, we let some of our oldest traditions fade. But that's nothing new.
God always finds a way to remind us. Today, many Americans have begun to realize we needed the pain of 2020.

Speaker 1 See, this is one of the difference between knowing God and not knowing God or rejecting God.

Speaker 1 If you believe in God and you believe he's a God of good,

Speaker 1 you know then,

Speaker 1 A,

Speaker 1 I'm saved no matter what happens to me. My body, this is more important.
My soul is much more important than anything my body is going through. Okay, that's number one.

Speaker 1 The other thing is, you know that it's all for his good. He doesn't lose.
So I may not experience the good part of it, but I know he wins. I know good wins in the end.
That changes everything.

Speaker 1 2020,

Speaker 1 we could have just, you know,

Speaker 1 whined and bitched and moaned the whole time. You know, I'm not whining and bitching and moaning as much because I've realized,

Speaker 1 again, because of 2020, that actually turned out good.

Speaker 1 You know, you may not get your way, but he usually gets his one way or another.

Speaker 1 Without that nightmare, President Trump would have returned, wouldn't have returned with a mandate to truly save America.

Speaker 1 Without those four bitter years, the country might never have wakened to remember who we are. This moment echoes the Exodus.

Speaker 1 Just as we needed four years of national affliction to witness Trump's political deliverance, the Israelites needed to see God's hand to remember his power.

Speaker 1 That's why scripture says God hardened the Pharaoh's heart. Not only to punish Egypt, but to remind his people of the unmatched might.

Speaker 1 Where have you heard recently

Speaker 1 anything like God hardened Pharaoh's heart?

Speaker 1 It was the last line of that essay I just read to you. So harden your hearts.

Speaker 1 What kind of advice is that?

Speaker 1 Now, if it's done by God, okay, I don't get it, but okay.

Speaker 1 Harden your hearts?

Speaker 1 Soften your heart.

Speaker 1 He wanted to remind people of his unmatched might to declare for all to see that there is none like unto the Lord our God.

Speaker 1 And yet, even for after the ten plagues and the miraculous escape, the Israelites forgot and faltered. Jewish tradition teaches that only one in five left Egypt.
Think of that.

Speaker 1 Think of that.

Speaker 1 Only one in five, twenty percent, the tipping point.

Speaker 1 Only 20% that were slaves decided to leave. The rest

Speaker 1 felt more comfortable in slavery. They didn't want to do the hard thing.
So only one in five left slavery. The rest chose the false comfort of slavery.

Speaker 1 Many who did leave lost faith before stepping into the Red Sea. Others bowed before the golden calf while Moses ascended Sinai.

Speaker 1 Even in the face of miracles, miracles, it was easier for some to forget God than to trust him. Americans had forgotten God before 2020, and God gave them a hard reminder.

Speaker 1 So ask yourself, if we forget who we are, what else have we forgotten?

Speaker 1 Look again to the story of Passover. The book of Exodus begins with a chilling line.
There arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not of Joseph.

Speaker 1 It wasn't just that Pharaoh forgot Joseph. He chose not to know him.

Speaker 1 He chose not to acknowledge Joseph because it would have meant acknowledging the Israelites and all they had done for Egypt. Joseph saved the Egyptians from famine.

Speaker 1 His descendants helped build up the nation. Pharaoh wanted to erase them.
He enslaved them. Think again of what's happening today.

Speaker 1 There is rising up among us a king that is saying, forget the Hebrews, forget the Jews.

Speaker 1 They don't want to recognize anything that the Jews did to help build us as a people, as a faith, and as a nation. So they're trying to do what Pharaoh did and erase them.

Speaker 1 He ordered their sons drown in the Nile, but not everyone forgot. Pharaoh's own daughter remembered.

Speaker 1 She rescued Moses, one who would lead the Israelites Israelites out of Egypt, receive the Ten Commandments at Sinai, and pass down a faith that would eventually give birth to Christianity.

Speaker 1 That's something worth remembering. We rightly see Pharaoh as the villain of Exodus.
But how many of us stop to honor the quiet heroism of the Pharaoh's daughter?

Speaker 1 She saved Moses when it was unpopular, even dangerous, to do so. She defied her father's command, choosing righteousness over convenience.
Her courage made everything that followed possible.

Speaker 1 Christians have long understood the wisdom of Romans, if the root is holy, so are the branches. Like that olive tree, we must guard the roots and grow strong branches.
We must first remember.

Speaker 1 So remember who we are.

Speaker 1 Americans are a good people,

Speaker 1 a good people

Speaker 1 who remember God.

Speaker 1 And like Pharaoh's daughter, when we remember Joseph, even when the world forgets, like the Israelites, we walk away from slavery into the unknown, trusting the God who will deliver us we are those people

Speaker 1 pray

Speaker 1 that we remember and don't forget

Speaker 4 Let me ask you something that most people never even think about. When you invest your money, do you know what it's actually supporting?

Speaker 4 And I'm not just talking about performance or returns, which are very important, certainly, but I'm also talking about values. Because when your portfolio is packed

Speaker 4 with all sorts of stuff that a Wall Street firm wants you to be packed with, there's a good chance your money is being used to fund causes you'd never voluntarily support.

Speaker 4 Talking about ESG mandates and corporate activism and radical social agendas and things that quietly chip away at everything you believe in. You'd never write a check to fund that stuff.

Speaker 4 But if you've got investments with the wrong people, you probably already are. And that's why I want to tell you about Constitution Wealth.

Speaker 4 This is a firm built for people just like you, people who care about faith and family, freedom, financial integrity. They don't just grow your money, which of course they

Speaker 4 do that as well, but they also help you aim your money to the right direction.

Speaker 1 Keith Oberman, I don't know if even people remember who he is, but he used to be on MSNBC years ago.

Speaker 1 And I think he was a sportscaster for a while. Now he's just a sad, sad guy.
It's really sad.

Speaker 1 But yesterday, we posted something about me talking about, you know, how Harvard received $20 billion from the government since its founding. And, you know, we probably shouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 He responded yesterday, goes towards education, Glenn. You know, what you gave up on when you were 10, and the absence of which provides you with an audience and an income.

Speaker 1 You know, Keith, I don't think that's the dig that you really intend. I mean, wow, you're so undereducated, it makes people like you and pay you money.

Speaker 4 Okay, and what are they doing with him these days?

Speaker 1 Yeah, what are they doing with him?

Speaker 4 Neither liking or paying.

Speaker 1 He went to an Ivy League prep school and then right to Cornell, which is, I mean, it's Ivy League, but not really because of it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 it is insane that you pay $10,000 out of pocket before your health insurance even lifts a finger. I mean, but that's Obamacare.

Speaker 1 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Friday. Well, it is Good Friday, and

Speaker 1 I mean, it's always Good Friday. It's more like good Friday.
Now, it's Good Friday,

Speaker 1 the Friday before Easter.

Speaker 1 And I thought today would be a good day just to talk about miracles. And Billy Holliwell has put together a documentary,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 it is well worth seeing. Investigating the supernatural, miracles.
I'm going to talk to him in 60 seconds. Stand by.
First, ever try using a chainsaw to open an envelope? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's how a lot of people address, you know, self-defense. One tool, one outcome, pretty much no middle ground there.
It's a chainsaw. Oh, it'll open the envelope.

Speaker 1 But real life isn't always that black and white. Sometimes you don't want lethal force.
You just want to stop a threat fast, effectively, and without carrying the weight of a life-altering decision.

Speaker 1 You know, if you're at the gas station at night and you see some things that are just not right and people are starting to approach your car and you're a woman,

Speaker 1 that's why my wife has in the glove box of her car a Burna Launcher. It's not a firearm, but it looks and handles like one and it foures powerful non-lethal

Speaker 1 kinetic or chemical rounds that can drop an attacker in their tracks without deadly force.

Speaker 1 It's a tool for the gray areas, for the parking lot confrontation, the aggressive stranger at the front door, or situations where yelling just won't cut it, but lethal force would go too far.

Speaker 1 Just carry this in your toolbox. Treat your family's safety and safety and the safety of your

Speaker 1 family, your kids, differently.

Speaker 1 Burna gives you options, real protection without the deadly consequences. Why, I have one.
You should have one. I got one for every member of the family.
It's legal everywhere.

Speaker 1 And as long as you're over 18, anyone can carry it. No background checks or anything, send it right to your door.

Speaker 1 You know, I have, when we started the Blaze,

Speaker 1 we started with a bunch of people that were really unknowns. And we have seen so many people leave here and go on to unbelievable things.
I mean, most people don't know. Will Kane,

Speaker 1 he started his career here. Pete Hagseth began his career at the Blaze.
Buck Sexton started his career at the Blaze.

Speaker 1 And Billy Hollowell. Billy worked with

Speaker 1 Dan Andros, who used to be a writer of mine. He was our head writer for a long time.
Just fantastic writer.

Speaker 1 All those years at Fox, it was Dan that was writing all of those things, and he left to go to CBN. Oh, Christ needs me.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 And Billy Hollowell used to work at the Blaze, and he did the same thing. Oh, I got to go.
Christ needs me.

Speaker 1 And so he's working at CBN now as well. You can find what he's going to be talking about at cbn.com slash supernatural.
Billy, welcome to the program. Glad to have you here.

Speaker 5 Glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 You bet. All right.
So why did you do this and what did you find?

Speaker 5 You know, it's crazy.

Speaker 5 We went around the entire country looking for stories of crazy miracles, not just minor miracles, but claims that tumors disappeared, paralysis disappear.

Speaker 5 And really, the why was this feeling, you know, there's a lot of people out there who don't think miracles still happen, right?

Speaker 5 There's even people who are Christians who will say, eh, I don't know if I think God is moving. And so we wanted to go out and test that.
And we wanted to see. Are miracles still happening?

Speaker 5 And I'll tell you, what we found really blew my mind. When we went into this project, I thought, okay, we're going to go into this.
We're going to do this. And, you know, it's going to inspire me.

Speaker 5 It's not going to change me. I walked away, and you know this, Glenn, I'm a Christian.
I've been a Christian my whole life.

Speaker 5 But I walked away completely transformed and challenged by the insane things that we encountered.

Speaker 1 Okay, so first, let's just define what a miracle is.

Speaker 5 Okay, so miracles, there's a wide range of things that miracles can qualify as, right?

Speaker 5 You have the small miracles, the things that we, you know, as Christians or as people of faith, feel God doing doing in our lives, right? Those could be miracles, but you can't really prove them.

Speaker 5 Then you have the big miracles, the things like, hey, this guy was dead for 40 minutes and somehow came back to life, which, by the way, that's one of the stories, and we could talk about it that we encountered along the way.

Speaker 5 You know, we were looking at miracles in this documentary that were 30,000-foot huge things, things that have scientific backing, that have doctors involved, that have really evidence, right?

Speaker 5 And so miracles, again, they could be a wide range, but we wanted to look at those big ones and we could say, okay, is there proof? How close can we get to actually proving that these things happen?

Speaker 5 And by the way, you know, we went into these stories skeptically because I don't think any of us should just go out and say, oh, yeah, you know, whatever you say we believe.

Speaker 5 We really wanted to provide the evidence along the way.

Speaker 1 Okay, so tell me, tell me some of the things that you found.

Speaker 5 All right, so let's talk about the guy who was dead for 40 minutes. This story, when it came across our desk, we did a ton of research, dug into it.

Speaker 5 Jeff Markin is a guy who, you know, he wasn't feeling well, went to the hospital. He has a heart attack.
He dies essentially inside the hospital.

Speaker 5 They call a doctor, an emergency room doctor, and they're trying to revive him. They spend 40 minutes on this guy, trying to revive him.
They pronounce him dead.

Speaker 5 So this guy is now on the gurney, on his way to the morgue. Dr.
Chauncey Crandle, who was the doctor in the room that day, he leaves the room. He assumes, well, this is over.
The guy died.

Speaker 5 He's going to move on with his day. As he's walking in the hallway, this doctor feels God say to him, go back and pray over that body.
Go back into the room.

Speaker 5 And he ignores it because he thinks that's insane. He feels the prompt again, go back into that room.
And so he's like, well, I'm a Christian. I better listen to this.
So he goes into the room.

Speaker 5 And you can imagine the nurse and the doctors, they're thinking this guy's nuts. He's going to come in and pray over this dead body that we've already declared dead.

Speaker 5 And so he starts praying over the guy. And all of a sudden, he says to the other doctors, shock him one more time.

Speaker 5 And they're like, look, there's no way we're shocking him again because we've tried for 40 minutes and he's dead. And so they end up doing it because he tells them to do it.

Speaker 5 And immediately this guy gets a perfect heartbeat back. Again, they tried for 40 minutes and got nothing.

Speaker 5 And now the nurse is saying to the doctor, what are you doing? Like now he's going to be brain dead after this.

Speaker 5 What's so crazy about this story, this man, Jeff Markin, had a near-death experience, which I'll hold off on that. You can watch it in the film while this was going on.

Speaker 5 But he ends up two days later waking up completely fine. We interviewed him in this film.
And so it's those kinds of stories. I mean, there's multiple miracles in there.

Speaker 5 And again, these are not just claims. We've got medical documentation.
So that's the kind of stuff we were dealing with in this documentary.

Speaker 1 So, you know, Billy, the amazing thing is we all have these, we all think that, you know, God doesn't. talk to us.
He doesn't talk to me.

Speaker 1 I don't hear him. But he does.
And it's those little things that usually, like that doctor, we dismiss. That's crazy.
And you just dismiss them because you think it's you.

Speaker 1 And if you obey them enough times and then you realize, oh, wow, that was amazing. Why? I turned around and did that because I was told to.
And that turned out to be an amazing thing.

Speaker 1 I mean, not as amazing as that usually, but

Speaker 1 you start to discipline yourself to listen and it happens more and more often. Or maybe you just notice it more.

Speaker 1 But he does speak to us and it requires us to not dismiss it as our stupid little voice in our head saying, you know, go back and pray over him. What? That's stupid.
Now, why would I?

Speaker 4 Right? And being open to it.

Speaker 5 Well, being open to it, because the thing that struck me in all of this, right?

Speaker 5 And after we finished investigating the supernatural miracles and we were looking at the stories, all of these people, they had to fight for miracles.

Speaker 5 Like the other three stories that we cover in this film, none of them went to a prayer event and got healed on the first try. It was 10 years of praying and struggling.

Speaker 5 And that opens a lot of interesting theological questions, which we do deal with. We deal with not getting the miracle.
Because look, we all die eventually, right?

Speaker 5 Even Lazarus, who was raised from the dead, he died again. So eventually the miracles run out.
But to your point, I mean, I'll even share for me, and I think this was a miracle.

Speaker 5 I was really upset about a diagnosis my daughter had of scoliosis. I was in my car and

Speaker 5 I'm driving and I'm thinking, God, I'm like crying out to God. What are we going to do?

Speaker 5 Give me a sign that this is going going to be okay.

Speaker 5 And, Glenn, you know, I live in New York. There aren't a lot of trucks that have Bible verses on them.

Speaker 5 I literally look up as I'm praying, and the truck in front of me has a verse speaking about God, you know, comforting us and how it will be okay in that very moment. I would say that's a miracle.

Speaker 5 And I think that's more like what most of us deal with in the day in and day out. And that is how God will often communicate to us.

Speaker 1 Let me be real.

Speaker 1 Let me ask you something, Billy.

Speaker 1 This is a very personal thing.

Speaker 1 I have been praying really hard

Speaker 1 over my children.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 there are some things that

Speaker 1 just

Speaker 1 don't understand. And I'll pray.

Speaker 1 You know, I'll see no result. And it has really hurt my faith.
At weak points, It has hurt my faith because I've thought, and I haven't thought about him. I've thought about me.
I'm just not

Speaker 1 in sync with him enough. I'm not worthy enough for, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 Have you ever felt that way?

Speaker 5 Absolutely.

Speaker 5 I think in all of this, especially when we're not getting an answer,

Speaker 5 I saw this in the film. I've seen it in my own life.
There is this tension that we have to live in. And I think this is really hard because we're human beings, right?

Speaker 5 This tension of, I'm I'm going to trust God that I believe the day I die, if I'm terminally ill or if my kid is struggling with something, you know, I'm going to believe for healing or for better decisions or for whatever the issue is because I believe it's possible and God could do anything.

Speaker 5 And I'm going to believe that till the very last minute while at the same time, and this is where it gets hard, having the trust that if that thing does not happen, if the healing doesn't happen on this side of eternity, that I'm going to trust God and be okay with whatever that plan is.

Speaker 5 Those two things are really tough. Really tough.
Really hard. Really tough.
But that's the death to self. That's the death to self that we're called to kind of live in.

Speaker 5 And that, I struggle with that all the time. I think we all do.

Speaker 5 And by the way, I mean, because I think this actually helps, that doctor in that emergency room who brought that, who prayed over that body, his son died of leukemia a couple of years before that.

Speaker 5 And he fought for a miracle and didn't get it for him. And now this guy is living.
He's able to have those two things, right? That radical trust.

Speaker 5 And so that really helped me actually seeing this guy who didn't get a miracle for his kid and yet still believes it's possible.

Speaker 1 It is remarkable when you see people who

Speaker 1 can actually live with this. My daughter, you know, she's been to all kinds of doctors.
She's had brain surgery and everything else. And

Speaker 1 I have prayed over her so many times to get her seizures to stop. And they just don't.
And they're relentless. And

Speaker 5 she'll say to me that i'm not worried about it i'm not worried about it and she's really tired of them i'm not worried about it lord's gonna heal me when i'm in heaven he's gonna heal me and that faith is just remarkable just remarkable profound yeah it is wow um it is go ahead now as a parent you know and something like that you know scoliosis you know i mentioned with my daughter that is not a terminal illness and i kept saying you know thank god it's, it's not something worse, you know, but the struggle, you know, watching your kid go.

Speaker 5 And by the way, you know, we were going through this as this film was going on.

Speaker 5 And a lot of this, as I've been talking about it and promoting it, has dawned on me of how good God was in this particular circumstance. But just watching your kid struggle and suffer.

Speaker 5 You know, my daughter went from a normal six-year-old playing to being in a brace 21 hours a day, you know, and not being able to do certain things. And you watch your kids suffer.

Speaker 5 And it is a profound challenge to faith.

Speaker 5 And that is where we have to rest in that in that trust right um and believing that the miracles are possible but knowing again that we may not get them in the case of my daughter you know she's out of her brace and they can barely detect scoliosis right now like we had a real miracle honestly you know and and i've been so grateful for that but recognizing that there are other things that we haven't had that in our lives and it is tough it is really tough i want to talk to you about some of the other things that you found in the documentary and you started exploring so you thought it originally was going to be a three-part series

Speaker 1 And I want to ask you

Speaker 1 why you didn't do that,

Speaker 1 why you're focusing on the miracles, because it was miracles, heaven, hell, angels, and demons,

Speaker 1 which I find fascinating. But we'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

Speaker 1 First, so you order a pizza online one day, simple, easy, no hassle, until 15 minutes later when you get a text message from your bank wanting to know if you've just bought new tires in Poland.

Speaker 1 You're like, no, no, I mean, unless Domino's is branching out internationally and I don't know, having to change some tires to get the pizza to my house. No,

Speaker 1 that's how fast it can happen.

Speaker 1 One leak, one little data breach, and suddenly your credit card has been cloned, your email is compromised, and someone with a VPN in another country is trying to open up loans in your name.

Speaker 1 Let's play the trailer.

Speaker 9 I got out of my patrol car and I slipped. I went from having a promising career as a neuroscientist to having a medical death sentence.
I said there was nothing else that we could do.

Speaker 4 There was no heartbeat.

Speaker 9 Time of death, 8 o'clock.

Speaker 4 Are miracles real?

Speaker 5 Do they happen today? Let's investigate.

Speaker 9 A lot of skeptics will say, well, miracles are impossible. Why? Because they violate the laws of nature.
You can't violate the laws of nature.

Speaker 9 People would pray for me and sometimes it felt like this power had just zapped me. When I woke up, she says, can you do anything that you didn't do before? I looked up my hand and it was clutched.

Speaker 7 I said, hand move.

Speaker 9 Another doctor came in and he said, what is going on in here? He's dead.

Speaker 4 It's over.

Speaker 1 I said, shock him one more time.

Speaker 7 Well, maybe it happens. Maybe it doesn't.

Speaker 9 Let's look at the evidence.

Speaker 1 So tell me the story about

Speaker 1 the guy who apparently was paralyzed, couldn't do anything, and how that miracle happened.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that Brian Lapu, I mean, that story blew me away. They lived out in New Jersey.
He was a cop. And I mean, it's so crazy how life happens.
This guy is a police officer. He's out on patrol.

Speaker 8 He's walking on the ice. He slips and he breaks his neck.
It just slips and falls, breaks his neck. And he ends up in a 10-year nightmare.

Speaker 8 Basically, you know, he ends up paralyzed on half of his body as a result of the injuries and the surgeries that he needed to have. The doctor said, oh, he's going to be fine.

Speaker 8 He was not fine, had no hope of recovery. Nobody had actually ever recovered from what he had and the damage he had.

Speaker 8 And so during these 10 years, he and his wife, Meg, they start going to prayer services and they start trying to get healing.

Speaker 8 And very similar to what we were just talking about, they're not getting healing. Nothing is happening.
And he gets to the point where he's like, look, I don't want anybody touching me.

Speaker 8 I don't want anybody praying over me. I am done.

Speaker 8 And his wife says to him, and this is why it's so important that we encourage people, you know, when people are no longer encouraged and they don't want to move forward, the wife says, look, let's go to one more of these events.

Speaker 8 Let's just get them to pray over you one more time. He says, no, I don't want to.
She says, yes, just do it for my birthday. It'll be my gift.
And so he says, fine, we'll go.

Speaker 8 They go to this event, and it is at that event that he gets his healing, that his hand opens up for the first time. He walks out of that event without his brace for the first time in 10 years.

Speaker 8 And we interviewed him. He no longer has a brace, and his condition is completely healed.
And it's remarkable because it's on film. It's on camera the moment he was healed at this conference.

Speaker 8 Somebody captured it on a cell phone. And so you see stories like this, and it just blows you away because the persistence in the faith and the fighting, ongoing belief that this was possible.

Speaker 8 And, you know, in his case, he got that healing.

Speaker 1 There's so many people that will capitalize on this. There's so many frauds.

Speaker 1 Did you cover any of that?

Speaker 8 You know, what we didn't get into that because when we actually did the vetting for these stories, we made 100% sure that before a camera turned on or we went anywhere, that we knew these were at least compelling stories.

Speaker 8 We went in skeptically, we tried to poke holes and look, but we knew that these were people who, I mean, these people can't even get through their story without crying. And you see this in the film.

Speaker 8 I mean, they are so overjoyed and moved and transformed. So we made sure that we, that we tackled those stories.
But you're absolutely right.

Speaker 8 I mean, there's a lot of people when it comes to near-death experiences, all these things who will, they will make things up to make money.

Speaker 8 But none of these people were in that camp, and we made sure of that.

Speaker 1 So you were going to do it as a series, and you were going to go into demons and angels and everything else. You still going to do that? Or

Speaker 1 why did you not pursue that? Why did you just go with miracles?

Speaker 8 Yeah, you know, so CBN, Christian Broadcasting Network, when we went into this, it was greenlit as a three-part series, 30 minutes each.

Speaker 8 And when we started filming Miracles, which was episode one, like day one, we knew, we were like, we can't tell this story in 30 minutes. I mean,

Speaker 8 these stories need to be told, and we need to spend time on them.

Speaker 8 And with culture, what is happening right now in this culture, we have college students flocking to hear about God, where we have these moments, despite the culture crumbling, right? Yeah.

Speaker 8 At the same time, we wanted to provide proof to people. And so we ended up shifting this into a three-part film series.
So the second film will be Investigating the Supernatural, Angels and Demons.

Speaker 8 And that is underway.

Speaker 8 Right now, we've started work on that. We've started filming that.
And it's going to be the same approach. You know, we want to go in and show people: is this real? What do Christians believe?

Speaker 8 What does the Bible say? Is this true? And it's obviously a difficult topic, angels and demons. It's a little harder than miracles.

Speaker 5 But yeah, we are planning to do it.

Speaker 1 Yep. Billy, thank you very much.
I appreciate it. Billy Hollowell, I want you to see this special.
You can find it at cbn.com, cbn.com.

Speaker 1 That's Christian Broadcasting Network, cbn.com slash supernatural.

Speaker 1 Kind of a perfect thing to watch this weekend with your family.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck. You ever feel like you're funding the other side every time you pay a bill? You're handing ammo to the people who just hate what you believe in?

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, some of the biggest cell phone providers in this country donate millions of dollars to causes that undermine your faith.

Speaker 1 It undermines your values, your freedoms. So what do you do? Smash your phone and move into a cabin? No, you switch to Patriot Mobile, although the cabin idea doesn't sound bad.

Speaker 1 They are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they use the same cell towers, the 5G network, same as the big guys. But here's the difference.

Speaker 1 Your money doesn't go to leftist nonsense. Instead, it supports pro-life causes, religious liberty, free speech, first responders, the kinds of things you actually believe in.

Speaker 1 Switching to Patriot Mobile is not just changing your phone plan. it is a small act of defiance that says, not with my money.
Same great service, same great coverage,

Speaker 1 better customer service, and everybody's here in America. And you're going to save money.
You get a free month of service just by switching.

Speaker 1 Use the promo code Beck at 972 Patriot and get that free month of service. It's patriotmobile.com/slash Beck, patriotmobile.com/slash Beck or 972 Patriot.

Speaker 1 Boy,

Speaker 1 how crazy have things gotten? How crazy can they get? Well, we were on the same crazy town train as England is still on.

Speaker 1 I want to play something that happened, I think, last month at an English bank, the Santander Bank, a guy from England goes in, just tries to take $2,500 out, if you will,

Speaker 1 and listen to the exchange he's having at the bank. He starts recording it.

Speaker 11 I'm now in Santander Bank, right?

Speaker 12 What are you doing, sir?

Speaker 11 I'm filming you, and I'm recording this conversation. I'm coming to the bank to withdraw £1,500.
Are you going to let me? I've got £1,500 in my account.

Speaker 11 Are you going to let me, are you going to let me have the money or not?

Speaker 13 He was transferred to a staff member on the phone, but the situation only continued to escalate.

Speaker 14 And what is the two and a half thousand pounds for, Mr. Jackson?

Speaker 11 To buy a motorbike for my son.

Speaker 14 Right, okay, so have you got any evidence of the motorbike you've got?

Speaker 11 No, I haven't got any evidence of a motorbike at all. No, I haven't got it, so I don't know what one I'm getting yet.

Speaker 14 Okay, so if you don't know what you're getting,

Speaker 14 how do you know how much you need?

Speaker 11 Because I've got a budget, I've got a budget, I've got a budget of two and a half thousand pounds for the motorbike, so that's why I'm going to withdraw two and a half thousand pounds from my account today.

Speaker 14 So,

Speaker 14 when you find the bike for your son, if you can show us some evidence.

Speaker 11 So, you're not so I need to show you evidence.

Speaker 11 So, I need to show you evidence.

Speaker 12 You can't fill in me without my permission, so you're not filling me up.

Speaker 11 So, you're not going to give me the money, no?

Speaker 12 I'm going to hang up this immediately.

Speaker 11 Absolute joke, this place.

Speaker 1 absolute jokes imagine that you walk into the bank he says i have 11 000 pounds in my account which could be four dollars i don't know uh 11 000 pounds no one knows nobody knows you can't even figure it out it's like metric i don't know uh could be a centimeter could be a mile i don't know who knows

Speaker 1 you can't possibly nope nobody knows convert it canadians maybe but they don't count uh so anyway he's got 11 000 pounds in his uh bank account he's going to take 2500

Speaker 1 out, and they won't let him do it without evidence on what he's going to spend it on. That's incredible.
Whose money is this?

Speaker 1 And we are close to that. Yeah.
We are very close to that.

Speaker 4 First of all, a commercial for Bitcoin.

Speaker 4 It's just straight out a commercial for Bitcoin. For Bitcoin.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable. But

Speaker 4 I just can't even conceive of that. Can you imagine walking into your bank and having that conversation? No.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 4 you could answer all of these questions, and he does, but there's no need to answer any of these questions. Well, who cares? It's my money.

Speaker 1 It's holding my money.

Speaker 1 I mean, that is, I mean, you can't do it because a country like England and even ours, they're not going to let you open up a bank, you know, Bill's bank, where we believe your money belongs to you.

Speaker 1 You know, that's our slogan. You can get your money at any time.
It's right here in the vault. It's a terrible, long slogan, but it is effective.
But it would be a very effective slogan.

Speaker 1 If you open Bill's bank,

Speaker 1 where the slogan is, you can get your money. It's right here in the vault.
It's your money, not ours. We're just holding it.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 You would be, people would flock to you. You can't open one of those in America.

Speaker 4 I mean, I think you can. It's just not exactly easy.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 You know, and I think some banks do have an approach that is similar to that.

Speaker 1 No, I tell you, I shop at a, or I mean, I bank at a local bank, and I've tried to get money out

Speaker 1 of the bank, and you have to have two weeks. Give me two weeks.
Give me two weeks. What are you talking about? Two weeks.

Speaker 4 Two weeks to get your own money?

Speaker 1 To get your money. You know why? No.
All the money is at the Federal Reserve. Every bank now returns all the money.

Speaker 1 There's nothing in the vault. I know.
What? There's petty cash in banks now.

Speaker 1 They move the money to the Federal Reserve every night.

Speaker 4 So you're just talking about when you are taking direct cash out. Obviously, you can purchase things, but you're doing that typically digitally.

Speaker 1 Yeah, not

Speaker 1 when your your actual money has actual money.

Speaker 1 It has to come from the Federal Reserve and they need two weeks.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Excuse me? It's insane. It's truly insane.
It's my money.

Speaker 1 What are you doing?

Speaker 4 It's nuts. And this is what makes you want to put it in under your mattress or bury it in your yard.

Speaker 1 It is. It is.

Speaker 1 Or get into gold or Bitcoin.

Speaker 4 Yeah. And those things can help with that.
Of course, obviously, when you're talking about in-your-hand cash, you still have a transfer process with both of those, right?

Speaker 4 Like, if you want to go buy something down the street with your own cash,

Speaker 4 can you do that? I mean,

Speaker 1 even when those services are delayed, suspect, it's suspect. Is it? It's

Speaker 1 actually the way our country ran for a really long time. I mean, why are you buying it in cash? You don't need the cash.
Why are you spending cash? What are you hiding? What are you actually buying?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, a motorbike for your son.
That's that, you are a criminal. You have to prove yourself to be innocent.

Speaker 4 That's nuts. That is nuts.
Absolutely crazy. That's not the way.
I mean, now this is in the UK.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 still it's the UK. Right.

Speaker 4 But they, certainly, there are different standards there that I don't, I don't like, but I do think we're seeing more and more of that stuff here.

Speaker 4 We're seeing it even with these, you know, these digital payment services that are banning people from even receiving money.

Speaker 4 Imagine you're running a small business, you're receiving money through a digital payment service, and then that digital payment service says, Yeah, no more.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I heard this story.

Speaker 1 Well, we talked about it.

Speaker 4 I'm not talking about a specific one. We've talked about many, many examples of this.
Like, you know, I don't want to name the companies. Oh, I know.

Speaker 1 I know what you're talking about. Yeah.
Many companies.

Speaker 4 Processing companies. Yeah, processing companies.
They'll just say, hey, no, your company's no longer on our service. And then what?

Speaker 1 What do you do?

Speaker 4 Nothing. You've got to figure out a way around it.

Speaker 1 Just buy everything in cash, gang. Just go to your bank, get cash.

Speaker 4 Yeah, right. Yeah.

Speaker 4 It's that unbanking process, which, you know, it does seem like the Trump administration is trying to tackle a little bit, which I think is a

Speaker 1 valuable pursuit.

Speaker 4 That has to just be gone from our society.

Speaker 4 We should not be,

Speaker 4 that should never happen in America, what we just said.

Speaker 1 Never.

Speaker 4 Never. And it has happened in America.
That particular example is not from here, but that stuff has happened, and it shouldn't ever happen.

Speaker 4 You should always have the right to be able to access your own money.

Speaker 1 You know, I was watching some stuff on

Speaker 1 X yesterday. I was watching some clips from

Speaker 1 Eric Schmidt. Remember when

Speaker 4 we had him on the former head of Google. Yeah.
Yeah, he's been on the program.

Speaker 1 He'd been on the program before, and we talked to him about AI, and it was really spooky. I mean, he's just so casual about all of this.

Speaker 1 I want you to listen to a couple of things he's just said about artificial general intelligence. Cut three.

Speaker 15 We believe, as an industry, that in the next one year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers.

Speaker 15 We also believe that within one year you will have graduate level mathematicians that are at the tippy top of graduate math programs. So that's one year, okay?

Speaker 15 What happens in two years?

Speaker 15 Well I've just told you about reasoning and I've told you about programming and I've told you about math. Programming plus math are the basis of sort of our whole digital world.

Speaker 15 So the evidence and the claims from the research groups in OpenAI and Anthropic and so forth is that they're now somewhere around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer.

Speaker 15 That's called recursive self-improvement is the technical term. So what happens when this thing starts to scale?

Speaker 1 Well, a lot.

Speaker 15 One way to say this is that within three to five years, we'll have what is called general intelligence, AGI,

Speaker 15 which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician, physicist, you know, artist, writer, thinker, politician.

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. Within three to five years.

Speaker 4 And that's close to your timeline, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's right on my timeline.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 he goes on to talk about these computers smarter than the sum of all humans. Listen.

Speaker 15 What happens when every single one of us

Speaker 15 has the equivalent of the smartest human on every problem in our pocket.

Speaker 15 I want to make the point here is that in the next year or two, this foundation is being locked in and it's not, we're not going to stop it.

Speaker 15 It gets much more interesting after that because remember the computers are now doing self-improvement. They're learning how to plan

Speaker 15 and they don't have to listen to us anymore.

Speaker 15 We call that superintelligence or ASI, artificial superintelligence. And this is the theory that there will be computers that are smarter than the sum of humans.

Speaker 15 The San Francisco consensus is this occurs within six years, just based on scaling. This path is not understood in our society.
There's no language for what happens with the arrival of this.

Speaker 15 That's why it's underhyped. People do not understand what happens when you have intelligence at this level, which is largely free.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 4 And, you know, we talk about this often, but it's not just horror show terrible things. There's going to be incredible innovations and things we've never conceived of.

Speaker 4 And when he says it seems like it's mostly free, what does that mean to our economic system? It's totally changing.

Speaker 4 It could be that we could have been wasting our entire lives saving for retirement, for example. This is something that people in Silicon Valley are actually doing.

Speaker 4 They've stopped saving for retirement because they're so convinced that this is just going to wipe all that out.

Speaker 1 I'm not there,

Speaker 4 but I maybe I should be. I don't know.

Speaker 1 You know what UBI is?

Speaker 4 Yeah, universal basic income. Which is income, which is basically you get a check from the government or whatever all the time, and that's how you support your life rather than going to work.

Speaker 1 Okay, because things are going to change so much. I heard an even scarier proposition now that they're thinking in Silicon Valley: UBC

Speaker 1 Universal Basic Compute.

Speaker 1 You are given a certain amount of time

Speaker 1 with

Speaker 1 access to artificial super intelligence and how you want to spend it is how you want to spend it. But you're not going to be able to do anything without compute time.

Speaker 1 So it's instead of paying you, it's just giving you universal basic compute. So everybody can have a shot at being with the smartest person in the world and they can help.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 It's going to make this bank thing that we just talked about.

Speaker 1 Small potatoes.

Speaker 4 Let me ask you this. I've got another one for you.
This is from an AI like newsletter that I follow. And I thought, this is

Speaker 4 a fascinating thing to think about because we talk about all the time about how they don't really understand their own products. Like they're making these things and they don't know.

Speaker 4 Not only do they not know what's going to happen with artificial superintelligence in six years or whatever.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. It just won't have to listen to us anymore.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 But they also don't really know what's going on right now. Listen to this.
Anthropic, which is one of the big AI firms, they have Claude is theirs.

Speaker 4 Anthropic has made its first investment in another startup, putting $1 million into Goodfire, a one-year-old startup that helps AI developers understand

Speaker 4 the inner workings of their AI models.

Speaker 4 They just bought a company to tell them how their own product works.

Speaker 1 And you know what? Money well spent, but I don't think it'll work.

Speaker 4 Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, it is,

Speaker 1 we don't have any idea. It's doing stuff now.
We don't have any idea how it's doing it. None.
But let's keep going. As he said, the train's already left the station.

Speaker 1 Within a year, we won't be able to turn it off. Okay.
Okay. All righty.

Speaker 1 We've all seen movies, right?

Speaker 1 Not if you're living in Silicon Valley, I think. Apparently not.
All right. Here's something that no one tells you when you hit your 40s.
Sleep stop working like it used to.

Speaker 1 You know, you go to bed tired, you wake up tired, you spend the rest of your day tired, and then you're up because the kids won't go to bed or whatever, and so you go to bed tired again, and it's, you know, lather, rinse, repeat.

Speaker 1 Somewhere in between, your body forgets how to rebuild, restore, and reset. And that's where Z-Factor comes in.
Z-Factor is not just a sleep aid.

Speaker 1 It's a science-backed formula that triggers deep restorative sleep, the kind your body actually uses to produce testosterone and repair tissue and balance hormones and restore your edge.

Speaker 1 Because you can't be sharp, focused, and present if your brain is stuck in power-saving mode. And that's what it is.
But when you sleep, man, you feel it. It's in the energy.

Speaker 1 All of a sudden, you have again. It's in your drive.
It's even in your mood. You show up better for your family, your work, and your purpose.
It's Z-Factor.

Speaker 4 You ever notice how you just kind of like learn to live with it?

Speaker 4 If you've got pain, tightness in your shoulders that never goes away, or you know, stiffness in your back when you get up in the morning, maybe it's brain fog, maybe it's stress, maybe it's a feeling that your body isn't broken, but it's not exactly firing on all cylinders.

Speaker 4 We tend to eventually just start calling that normal. But what if it isn't? What if there's a better baseline and we've just kind of forgotten what that feels like? That's what CB Distillery is about.

Speaker 4 They're not here to sell hype. They're here to help people feel better, naturally, without the weird chemicals or addictive drugs or, you know, hope it works sort of gimmicks.

Speaker 4 Right now, during CBD Awareness Month, they're offering up to 60% off everything on the site when you use the code VIP.

Speaker 4 This is one of the most trusted CBD companies in the country, third-party tested, plant-based, synthetic junk. They make stuff like oils and soft gels, creams, gummies, whatever you need.

Speaker 4 They're basically designed to help you, you know, help with stress, with sleep recovery,

Speaker 4 with pain. They have a relief stick that is like a must-have if you get sore joints or tension in your neck, or maybe those awful post-workout aches.
You can also skip those by just not working out.

Speaker 4 I'm just telling you, that's just another path. But just you can just roll this on and just forget about it.

Speaker 4 The sleep gummies are gentle, effective, and they don't knock you out until like next Tuesday. Just a solid night of rest.
A lot of great stuff they have. And let me tell you about where to get it.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 1 Let me go to James in Washington. Hello, James.

Speaker 10 Hey, Glenn, it's great to talk with you. Thank you.
So you had mentioned banking institutions

Speaker 10 or may soon prevent us from using our own money.

Speaker 10 It's already here.

Speaker 10 Last spring, last Easter, I planned a trip to Prague, Czech Republic for my family with my two teenage boys, 16 and 18 at the time.

Speaker 10 And I did an interbank transfer, an international transfer for a package to shoot Soviet weapons. And it was with a legitimate company in Czech Republic.

Speaker 10 They contract out to movie makers for their tanks and their firearms. And I did the transfer, everything went well.
And

Speaker 10 the next day we were on our layover in Denver, and I got a call, and the gentleman on the phone said that they had reversed the transfer because they didn't feel it was safe.

Speaker 10 Well, me, you know,

Speaker 10 not assuming malice, that which we can attribute to ignorance, I just figured

Speaker 10 that

Speaker 10 You know, the Czech Republic is in the EU politically, but not monetarily.

Speaker 10 Maybe they felt it was unsafe. Maybe they felt it was organized crime or drugs or something like that.
Or I was being scammed. Maybe they were protecting me.

Speaker 10 None of those. But yeah, none of those.
They said they reversed it because they didn't believe in it, because they thought it was too dangerous.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when they said doing that. Yeah, when they said it's too dangerous, I doubt they even meant that it was too dangerous for you.

Speaker 1 It was too dangerous for their business model because of all of the ESG rules over in

Speaker 1 Europe. So if they had spent that money like that on something like that, which

Speaker 1 has got to not fit the ESG rules,

Speaker 1 then it's dangerous for them. They'll be flagged as a dangerous entity and they can lose their backing in the banking system.
That's most likely what they meant. And we just...

Speaker 1 We have calls from all over the country, people saying, Glenn, it is happening. It's happening to me over and over and over again, a ton of calls from all over the country.
So just be aware.

Speaker 1 All right. Back in a minute.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 4 Let me ask you something. If someone drained your bank account tomorrow, you'd probably notice it immediately, right? We were just talking about banking issues.

Speaker 4 Those are things that hit you kind of right in the face. But if someone stole your home title and took out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans against it, how long would it take you to find out?

Speaker 4 Probably, what, months, years?

Speaker 4 Long enough for your equity to vanish and a legal nightmare to begin. This is called home title theft, and it's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America.
Thieves find your title online.

Speaker 4 It's shockingly easy. They forge your name, they file it with the county, and suddenly your house isn't really your house anymore.

Speaker 4 And no, your homeowner's insurance doesn't cover this, neither does your bank. But Home Title Lock does.
They monitor your title to make sure that nothing's going on.

Speaker 4 The moment anything suspicious happens, you get alerted fast. And if you're already a victim, they'll step in with a restoration team to help you fight back.
Your home is unlikely to be stolen

Speaker 4 on a truck, but the title of it can be stolen very easily. Don't Don't let it happen to you.

Speaker 4 This is

Speaker 4 the Glenbeck Program.

Speaker 1 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
Yesterday was Passover.

Speaker 1 This is the point on a Friday now, if you went back in time and you were at the time of Christ,

Speaker 1 we would probably be standing at the gates

Speaker 1 waiting for Pilate to

Speaker 1 give us a choice, Barabbas or Christ. This is about the time of the day that was happening.
We're going to talk about that coming up in just a second. First, there is a sound that never leaves you.

Speaker 1 It's not loud. It's not dramatic.
It's just the quiet rustle of an elderly woman in Jerusalem shuffling through a cupboard trying to find anything, anything to eat.

Speaker 1 There's no food, no family around the house. Just lonesome silence.

Speaker 1 She's a survivor of some of the worst things that have ever been done to man, one of the last living links to a moment the world promised never to forget, and there she is, forgotten alone and hungry.

Speaker 1 One of the reasons I partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is that they haven't forgotten.

Speaker 1 They step in where no one else will, bring food, warmth, medicine, and love to the elderly Jews in Israel. And it isn't just charity, it's prophecy in action.

Speaker 1 Christians and Jews standing together, blessing one another, fulfilling scripture in real time.

Speaker 1 You want to make a real impact? Feed somebody who thought they were completely alone in the world. Show them through your giving, they're not alone.
The fellowship makes it possible.

Speaker 1 Now, make it personal. Give a gift, any gift, to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org.
Perhaps it'll help you soften your heart just a little bit.

Speaker 1 It's one word, supportifcj.org, or call 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ.

Speaker 1 So last night, Jews all over the world gathered for Passover.

Speaker 1 So I want you to picture Jerusalem 2,000 years ago at Passover, and the air is heavy with the aroma of unleavened bread, and the streets are buzzing because people have come from all over Israel to be there.

Speaker 1 The sun sinks.

Speaker 1 It's casting a golden glow. But a shadow is hanging over one man because he knows what's coming, Jesus.

Speaker 1 What must the weight

Speaker 1 of last night have been like

Speaker 1 for the man, Jesus? Because he knows what's ahead, the nails, the thorns, all of it.

Speaker 1 Yet he presses on.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Because that's the deal he made.

Speaker 1 He loves us. He was the one that could bring us back home.

Speaker 1 That's tremendous love.

Speaker 1 And a love so relentless that it defies death itself. So it's Thursday night, Passover meal.
Jesus gathers his 12 disciples in an upper room. Oil lamps are flickering, casting long shadows.

Speaker 1 They eat, they laugh. They're unaware of the betrayal that is sitting at the same table with them.

Speaker 1 And Jesus breaks the bread. His hands aren't shaky.
His voice is steady. His eyes are heavy.
And he says something that must have been very odd.

Speaker 1 This is my body broken for you.

Speaker 1 They each have some of the bread. Then he lifts the wine.
This is my blood

Speaker 1 shed for you.

Speaker 1 What was going through their mind?

Speaker 1 Remember,

Speaker 1 they're looking for the Messiah.

Speaker 1 Some of them believe that he is the Messiah, the Son of God. You know,

Speaker 1 I can't speak for Judas,

Speaker 1 but they're expecting a warrior. And they're not expecting this.
They're waiting for something big to happen. Not this.

Speaker 1 The weight of it must have been crushing to him. being there alone.

Speaker 1 Nobody understands. So he goes to Gethsemane.
It's an olive grove, and it's right on top of the hill that overlooks the Temple Mount.

Speaker 1 And he leaves the apostles, just he says, pray with me. And he leaves them, and he goes off himself, and he collapses to his knees under the twisted branches of these trees.

Speaker 1 And the moon is hanging low by now,

Speaker 1 the night silent,

Speaker 1 except perhaps for his silent and ragged breathing.

Speaker 1 And that's when he says, Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.

Speaker 1 You know, it says that

Speaker 1 blood came out of every pore.

Speaker 1 And I never understood that. I thought maybe it was a metaphor or something when I was younger.
It's actually, it's not a metaphor. It's a real, very rare condition.

Speaker 1 Where extreme stress will rupture all of the capillaries right underneath your skin, so you actually sweat blood.

Speaker 1 That's the pressure he was under.

Speaker 1 His body had to have been trembling and racked with anguish and pain.

Speaker 1 He's not just sweating, he's bleeding all of us clean.

Speaker 1 He begs for escape, and then he knows.

Speaker 1 And he says, Your will, not mine.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Because he knew we were going to need it.

Speaker 1 And here we are with our secrets, our shame.

Speaker 1 He saw us,

Speaker 1 and he chooses the cross. And Judas slinks in his kiss.

Speaker 1 He knew.

Speaker 1 He said, somebody earlier,

Speaker 1 the one person at this table is going to betray me tonight.

Speaker 1 So the soldiers swarm him. Torches are blazing.
Swords are drawn. Peter grabs one of the swords and he actually cuts the ear off of one of the soldiers.
And Jesus stops him. Stop it.

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 1 not my path. And he picks up the ear and he hears, he heals the soldier.

Speaker 1 They bind him. They drag him through the streets.
Sanhedrin's trials, just total farce. False witnesses, you know, spit, fists, everything else.
Caliphus sneers, Are you the Son of God?

Speaker 1 And Jesus says something that seals his fate.

Speaker 1 You have said it yourself.

Speaker 1 Truth, not blasphemy. Truth

Speaker 1 that saves us, not him.

Speaker 1 So by dawn he's before Pilate, bloodied and silent.

Speaker 1 This happens, go back and forth, until about this time of day,

Speaker 1 and the crowd is beginning to gather, and they're screaming, Crucify him.

Speaker 1 And Pilate washes his hands, but no water erases that stain.

Speaker 1 Jesus is then scourged, whips, studded

Speaker 1 with

Speaker 1 metal,

Speaker 1 just shred his skin. I'm on my way in two weeks to see the Shroud of Turin,

Speaker 1 the actual Shroud of Turin. And

Speaker 1 I believe that to be actually the burial cloth. After you study it a little bit, just even a little bit, and you see what has been done to prove or disprove and the best they can say is,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 on the negative side is, I don't know. I don't know how it happens.

Speaker 1 They mock him. They drape him in a purple robe.
His back is just shredded. His legs on both sides, his chest.
They jam a crown of thorns into his scalp. And these aren't little like roses.

Speaker 1 These are, I think they're called

Speaker 1 Bethlehem thorns. And they're like three, four inches.
And they just push it into his scalp. Blood is streaming down his face now,

Speaker 1 but he still has burning eyes, purpose for you.

Speaker 1 The cross, part of the cross, is laid across his shoulders, splintered, it's heavy, he stumbles.

Speaker 1 Every single step is a testament to love.

Speaker 1 Somebody's pulled out of the crowd. Simon is pulled out of the crowd, is forced to carry it, but

Speaker 1 Jesus is still bearing all the weight of what's coming. At Golgotha, the place of the skull, nails are actually put through his wrists and then through

Speaker 1 his feet.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine what that felt like to just have

Speaker 1 the vibration of that hammering? And I've always seen when they slide the cross into the ground and

Speaker 1 it settles. You know, his shoulder was dislocated, they think, in the streets.
So, you know, the only way you breathe on a cross is

Speaker 1 you have to force yourself to stand up straight as much as you can, because once you start to sag down, your lungs start to collapse.

Speaker 1 And so, with a dislocated shoulder, he's pulling himself up so he can breathe.

Speaker 1 Jeez.

Speaker 1 Sky is darkening now.

Speaker 1 He's executed with two thieves, one on each side. One mocks him, the other one says, Remember me.

Speaker 1 And at that moment,

Speaker 1 Jesus is offering grace. Can you imagine?

Speaker 1 Today, you'll be with me in paradise. He's dying and he's saving.

Speaker 1 He sees his mom standing below.

Speaker 1 John is beside her.

Speaker 1 Grace again.

Speaker 1 Jesus looks down and says, Woman, behold your son.

Speaker 1 Love, even in

Speaker 1 agony. The crowd jeers.
Save yourself. Save yourself.
If you're God, save yourself. He doesn't because of us,

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 of me, because of you. He saw us.
He knew we were going to need this.

Speaker 1 He takes it.

Speaker 1 For him to really

Speaker 1 be man and suffer, he had to be separated from God at this point.

Speaker 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Speaker 1 God didn't turn away from him.

Speaker 1 He turned from the sin that he was bearing, our sin, and at the ninth hour,

Speaker 1 he just says, it is finished.

Speaker 1 Victory.

Speaker 1 not defeat. The debt is paid.

Speaker 1 The temple veil tears. God's presence is unleashed.
The earth quakes, rocks split. A centurion stands at the foot and says, surely this was the Son of God.

Speaker 1 They pierce his side just to make sure that he's dead.

Speaker 1 Joseph of Arimathea lays him in a tomb, and

Speaker 1 they

Speaker 1 sealed him up. sealing hope away.
The disciples have no idea what's going on. No idea.
They're hunted now.

Speaker 1 Are we going to die like that?

Speaker 1 I thought he was the Savior. What is happening? Now he's dead.
Nothing more humiliating than being crucified to a tree. That was the most humiliating thing that could happen.

Speaker 1 That's clearly not the Savior.

Speaker 1 The disciples scatter, broken. The world falls silent.
Is this the end?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 More in a minute.

Speaker 1 You know, selling your house used to be simple. You mowed the lawn, you vacuumed all the carpets, you shoved everything into a closet and hope nobody noticed.
Done.

Speaker 1 Now, mood lighting, seasonal throw pillows, story arc for the dining room.

Speaker 1 Goal isn't just to sell, it's to make strangers walk in and feel like your home is, you know, a cozy candle commercial, I guess.

Speaker 1 Someone has to navigate all of that, and that's why we have real estate agents you can trust.

Speaker 1 We've found these real estate agents all across the country. They don't just know the market, they live it.

Speaker 1 They've done the hard work, they've seen it all, and they don't treat your home like it's just an HGTV audition.

Speaker 1 They treat it as a most important sale of your life. If you're buying or selling, don't go it alone.
Get somebody who really gets it. Go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 1 That's realestate agentsitrust.com. 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 1 So imagine just on Easter, I mean, on Palm Sunday, he's riding in triumphant, and everybody's so high, and everybody's like, wow, this is going to be great. And now he's dead.
Now he's in a tomb.

Speaker 1 Now it's sealed. It's silent.

Speaker 1 The apostles are like, what just happened? It's only been 24 hours.

Speaker 1 Disciples are,

Speaker 1 they hide. Hope buried with Jesus.
Mary Magdalene weeps. Her heart is just raw.
Her world now feels empty.

Speaker 1 But there's a pulse in the air. There is a pulse in the air.

Speaker 1 Mary has been sleepless, broken. She walks to the tomb since pre-dawn.
She has spices in her hand to anoint his body. Final act of love.
And the ground quakes as she gets close. She falters.

Speaker 1 Her breath catches. What is...
And the stone is rolled back. Now the tomb's mouth is gaping open and her heart lurches.
Oh, grave robbers. She runs to Peter and John.
She says, they've taken him.

Speaker 1 They race.

Speaker 1 John outruns Peter, peers inside the linen cloth, folded, the headcloth separate, but empty.

Speaker 1 Peter barrels in, baffled. The tomb is hollow.
No trace of Jesus anywhere. They leave, dazed.
Mary is just stunned. She just stays there.
She doesn't know. She can't abandon him.
Where is he?

Speaker 1 She's sobbing, and the sobs are echoing off the stone. And then there was movement.
Two radiant figures are sitting where Jesus was supposed to be laying. Woman, why are you weeping?

Speaker 1 She turns. She thinks it's a gardener.
She says, sir, if you have moved him, just tell me where.

Speaker 1 It's not a gardener.

Speaker 1 It's Jesus, and he just says one word, Mary.

Speaker 1 Soft, alive. Her breath stops.
Those eyes, that voice, it's Jesus.

Speaker 1 Rabbi,

Speaker 1 teacher.

Speaker 1 He's alive, flesh and bone, scars and all.

Speaker 1 He says, go tell the others.

Speaker 1 She runs, bursting, I've seen him.

Speaker 1 The disciples have locked themselves away, fear choking them. Suddenly,

Speaker 1 you know, Jesus is amongst them.

Speaker 1 He shows them the hands and feet. The nail marks remain, proof of his love.

Speaker 1 How could he live?

Speaker 1 This is a very rough and short telling of probably the most important story, not probably the most important story in all of human history.

Speaker 1 But it's our story.

Speaker 1 It's the only story, probably, that matters.

Speaker 1 He's already done all the hard work. He bled literally from every pore, carried our sin, faced the cross, shattered the tomb.
Death couldn't hold him. Nothing can.

Speaker 1 And just like

Speaker 1 he said, Mary,

Speaker 1 he's calling your name.

Speaker 1 I don't need it. I'm fine.

Speaker 1 And perhaps maybe that's true for you right now, but there will come a time in all of our lives where despair will overtake us, where our mistakes will just seem to be just too overwhelming.

Speaker 1 Lay it down. Lay down all the lies that you now believe about yourself, that you're not enough, that your mistakes define you,

Speaker 1 that your pain and loneliness are yours forever because that's who you are, really.

Speaker 1 They're not with you forever.

Speaker 1 It is the strangest thing.

Speaker 1 Everything true with God is usually the opposite. Don't fight.
Surrender. Surrender.

Speaker 1 It's hard to let go of the shame that you've carried your whole life or the new, the wounds you've nursed, the voices that you whisper to yourself because that's that's at least it was in my life.

Speaker 1 That's all you know.

Speaker 1 It probably been with you for so long that you believe that that's all you are. And without them, what are you? Nothing.
There's nothing else inside. I'm not good enough.

Speaker 1 There is nothing else good inside. I'm just this.
Lies.

Speaker 1 This Easter. I just want to leave you with this message.

Speaker 1 I've made that awful, awful journey, and it is not easy.

Speaker 1 But it is so worth it.

Speaker 1 This weekend, I encourage you to listen to hear his voice, soft as it was for Mary,

Speaker 1 fierce as as it was on the cross.

Speaker 1 Let it go.

Speaker 1 Come to me, step out of the shadows, lay down the weight. It's not about being perfect, it's about being His.
And He's already paid the price, He's fought the battle, won the victory.

Speaker 1 Now, all you have to do is surrender because He is alive, He is waiting, scars and all. Open arms.
Come to Him, give it all up, and walk away.

Speaker 1 Surrender surrender, and live.

Speaker 1 This is Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 So pain doesn't wait until it's convenient

Speaker 1 for you to appear, you know. It just shows up at the gym, at your job, you know.

Speaker 1 it's good friday

Speaker 1 One last story on faith. I was

Speaker 1 reading an article about Tammy Peterson, the wife of Jordan Peterson. Last year, she walked into a Catholic church and embraced a new faith.

Speaker 1 She was a survivor of cancer, and she found solace in the rosaries ritual, the beads and their rhythmic prayers and all of that. And it gave her peace through all of the fear that she had.

Speaker 1 And she shared this last year with a Catholic Herald interview. And she's not alone.

Speaker 1 A New York Post article this week reports a surge in young people converting to Catholicism with year-over-year converts increasing from 30 to 70 percent.

Speaker 1 The Archdiocese of Fort Worth says there was a 72 percent jump in converts in the last year.

Speaker 1 Something is happening and I think it's rituals.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 Barack Obama knows, said his wife, that we're going to have to change everything. We're going to have to change our traditions, our language, our history.

Speaker 1 Rituals bring things back together. At a time when we are told, you know, if you disagree with your family, don't get together with your family.

Speaker 1 Those rituals that you do as a family are very important.

Speaker 1 They're deeply human. And they're not just Catholic traditions or relics of the past.
They're everywhere. A bride walking down the aisle, a soldier saluted at a ceremony.

Speaker 1 Even the way we light candles in honor to

Speaker 1 honor the dead.

Speaker 1 They mark moments that matter in our lives and they help organize things in our mind. And rituals in Catholicism, the Eucharist or the Confession, elevate this instinct, this need to the sacred.

Speaker 1 So it's not just...

Speaker 1 It's not just a routine. It is a bridge to meaning.
And that matters.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 when you have meaning and there's a storm in your life, it gives structure. So it doesn't feel like the storm is just going to wipe you out entirely.

Speaker 1 There was a study in 2013 in Scientific American, an article by a psychologist that explained that rituals, religious or not, reduce anxiety, steady us after loss, and boost confidence before big moments.

Speaker 1 And you look at this, I mean, it's not faith-based, but think of athletes with a pre-game routine or just a child calmed by a bedtime story. Rituals amplify this.

Speaker 1 New York Post noted that young converts now, especially Gen Z, crave, quoting, the clarity and certainty, rejecting the, quote, lax alternatives of modern worship. Why?

Speaker 1 Because modern worship tells you you can believe anything.

Speaker 1 There are no real rules. God will just take you as you are.

Speaker 1 And I mean, he will, warts and all, but you got to do a little something.

Speaker 1 Try this emphasize. How alive is the church over in England?

Speaker 1 Has it ever been alive?

Speaker 1 Church attendance among 18 to 24-year-olds has jumped from 4% in 2018 to 16% in 2024. I'd say there's something going on here.

Speaker 1 And experts are saying it is a hunger for substance.

Speaker 1 And for Tammy Peterson, it was the rosary. That was her lifeline.
And, you know,

Speaker 1 whatever it is, but whatever the ritual is, you don't have to be a Catholic or anything, whatever you are. But what if we all leaned into our rituals a little bit more? Because they're university.

Speaker 1 They're universal. I mean, think of the

Speaker 1 Think of the little things that we do every day. The morning coffee poured in the same way, in the same cup every day, a family holiday tradition, a quiet moment of prayer every day.

Speaker 1 Rituals build communities,

Speaker 1 like a congregation singing together in unison, or a neighborhood block party. They mark time.
They give us milestones, baptisms, graduations, funerals.

Speaker 1 We now live in a world of screen and rush.

Speaker 1 And rituals slow us down.

Speaker 1 You don't have time. Yeah, you do.
That's exactly what you need.

Speaker 1 Rituals will slow you down, make you present in the moment. They're not about rules.
They're all about meaning if you do it right.

Speaker 1 This isn't about recognizing one faith over another. This is about recognizing what rituals do for us.
The New York Post highlights how young people facing perma conflict.

Speaker 1 perma conflict and secular individualism see traditional Catholicism as cultural defiance.

Speaker 1 And you don't have to be a Catholic to find this. Maybe your ritual is, I don't know what it is.
But whatever it is, it can shape your heart and your day.

Speaker 1 And as we head to Easter this weekend, as we head to our, hopefully you're attending your Easter service this weekend, take time to find your family's ritual.

Speaker 1 And I say that.

Speaker 1 My kids are scattered scattered everywhere, and I'm having to go to Washington on Sunday.

Speaker 1 And for the first time,

Speaker 1 I think in my life, I'm not together with my whole family on Easter.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 hate that.

Speaker 1 Hate that.

Speaker 1 You know, things happen in life.

Speaker 1 But no matter what faith you are, I mean, we can all learn from each other.

Speaker 1 We are all part of of one big body and one big effort because I believe the other side, as we started this show, we started talking about this really evil editorial, this op-ed on Substack, that was talking about, you know, when do we start killing people?

Speaker 1 Hello?

Speaker 1 There is evil.

Speaker 1 We are witnessing the growth of evil, but I just gave you some stats that show, yeah, but good stuff is happening too.

Speaker 1 Generation Z is the hero generation. You watch.

Speaker 4 You watch.

Speaker 1 They will put this back together.

Speaker 1 Just, no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing this weekend, if you're a believer,

Speaker 1 just say it out loud this weekend to somebody. He's risen.
Just share it with somebody. Just share the peace.

Speaker 1 Live your ritual, whatever it is. Live your ritual.
It's so important.

Speaker 1 Let me go to Abby, who's been holding since last hour. Abby, I'm sorry to make you wait so long.
Welcome.

Speaker 16 Hi, it's okay. I was calling about the miracles and I wanted to tell you a story about my daughter.
When she was born, she was born perfectly healthy. She started vomiting at three days old

Speaker 16 constantly. And at six days old, I laid her down and just fed her a bottle and she started choking in her bassinet next to my bed.

Speaker 16 I fly out of bed and by the time I scream, she's already blue and she's completely blue. My mom comes running upstairs because she was visiting us and she started CPR.

Speaker 16 My husband was on the phone with 911 and I heard this voice, very loud voice. Abby, take the nasal thing and the aspirator and stick it down her throat.
And I was like, oh, that's weird.

Speaker 16 Then I heard it again and it was even louder. And so I told my mom to stop CPR.
The paramedics were on their way. And I shoved that thing all the way down her throat and I pulled out tons of vomit.

Speaker 16 And by the time the paramedics got there, she was breathing. She wasn't blue any longer.
And she was pink and as happy as can be.

Speaker 1 It's amazing.

Speaker 5 It was a true miracle. Yeah.
Yes.

Speaker 1 It's truly amazing. Truly amazing.
And when you heed those voices, I mean, as long as those voices are telling you to do something good, you know, like, hey, go steal that.

Speaker 1 No, that's not, that's not the right voice to listen to. But when you listen to those voices, it is, I mean, it is so,

Speaker 1 you just know you're not alone. You know there's something bigger than just you.
It's an amazing thing.

Speaker 3 Amazing.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Abby. I appreciate it.
All right. Gonna take a break.
Come back with final thoughts in just a second. First, let me tell you, Lear Capital.
Stu,

Speaker 1 what is gold at today?

Speaker 4 I don't know. Let me check.

Speaker 1 Do you remember

Speaker 1 an all-time high? I know that. Do you remember 2010?

Speaker 1 I was talking to a friend, Mark Alberian, and we were talking. I said, can you imagine if gold was $3,000 to $5,000 an ounce? And he said,

Speaker 1 don't ever even say that. Don't say that.
And I said, Why? And he said, $3,000 an ounce, Glenn? Do you know what the world's going to be like at $3,000? At At $5,000, it's just, it's insanity.

Speaker 1 At $3,000, I don't even know what the world needs to look like when it's $3,000. Well, it's $3,300 an ounce now.

Speaker 4 $3,341 currently.

Speaker 1 $3,341.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 when was it that it crossed over 2,000? And everybody's like, ah, gold, it's just not going anywhere. It's a 2,000 little crash after 2,000.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can you zoom out on that chart and see?

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's just

Speaker 1 a little clunky.

Speaker 4 A little clunky on the chart here. Here we go, five years.
Okay. 2000.
I mean, 2000 was crossed

Speaker 4 2024, beginning of 2024.

Speaker 1 2024. That's last year.

Speaker 1 It was crossing $2,000 an ounce. Now it's $3,300 an ounce.
I don't know. Something's happening, gang.

Speaker 4 That long-term chart.

Speaker 4 Scary. It's going up, up, up, up, up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Something is happening. My grandfather used to always say,

Speaker 1 what do the rich people know that I don't know? Here are the rich people that are buying gold. It's a lot of the central banks.
Okay. What do they know that you don't know? What is it?

Speaker 1 Boy, I'd like to live in a boring world, but we're not living in one right now. Call Lear Capital today 800-957 gold before this thing just goes unhinged.

Speaker 1 800-957 gold, 800-957 gold to get your free report, $4,200 gold. You know, a year ago, I was talking about the $4,200 gold report.
It wasn't even $2,000.

Speaker 1 And I was like, wow, that's, I mean, you don't want it to be $4,200. I hope it doesn't.

Speaker 1 I mean, what's the world going to have to be like?

Speaker 1 We're almost there.

Speaker 1 Call 800-957-GOLD. 800-957-GOLD.
Also, ask him how to get $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase. 800-957-GOLD.

Speaker 1 This is

Speaker 1 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 I had a great time with Patricia Heaton and her husband.

Speaker 1 Patricia Heaton was the mom on Everybody Loves Raymond. I think she's hysterical.
She's now doing the new, she's the main squeeze for Frasier, on the new Fraser. She's fantastic in that too.

Speaker 1 Anyway, I had her on the podcast along with her husband, David Hunt, to talk about Unexpected.

Speaker 1 It's one of the movies that they have put out and discussed marriage, infertility, IVF, abortion, adoption, surrogacy, you know, sperm counts. I mean, we hit it all.
We hit it all.

Speaker 1 She says RFK, the jury's still out on RFK, but she's like, I think he's moving in the right direction. Something is wrong.

Speaker 1 She talks about the feminist movement and how it's just been really damaging for women.

Speaker 1 Huge problems with socialism. David says our education system is in need of massive reform.
And then we talk about Hollywood values. As he said, kind of an oxymoron.

Speaker 1 The conversation turns to Israel. I mean, we covered everything, everything

Speaker 1 with Patricia Heaton. She rarely speaks out

Speaker 1 unless it's just about life. And we talked about that, but I was shocked at how open both of them were on every topic.

Speaker 1 So you don't want to miss it. It's tomorrow's podcast.
It's episode 254, How God Helped Everybody Love Raymond Starr Raise Her Kids on the Glimbeck Podcast. It's out tomorrow.

Speaker 4 I notice you've been ignoring the big story of the day. Have I?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 What it was is that Senator Van Hollen was able to finally meet with the Maryland father who was abducted

Speaker 4 by the United States government and taken to an El Salvador prison against the law.

Speaker 1 I saw the pictures of him meeting with the Maryland father.

Speaker 1 Were they having margaritas?

Speaker 4 This is actually a really funny thing that came out of this, which is they're sitting there talking and they're in front of them is our glasses. with salted rims and cherries.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Now,

Speaker 4 everyone's saying, I can't believe they're sipping margaritas. Bukele actually tweeted about it and said, oh, they're sipping margaritas in this tropical paradise of El Salvador.

Speaker 4 The reporting from behind the scenes was, according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of them in an attempt to stage the photo.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Which, if that's true, it's really funny.
Oh, my gosh. That is crazy.

Speaker 4 Also, like, do you garnish a margarita with a cherry? I don't know where that occurs. I've never had one with that particular garnish, but maybe it's possible.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 if that's what it is and they were just trolling,

Speaker 4 I find it hilarious.

Speaker 4 That being said,

Speaker 4 this guy who's all he's trying to do is make a name for himself and get social media attention going down there to meet with him. I don't know what this is accomplishing.
I mean, I'd argue nothing.

Speaker 4 Nothing.

Speaker 1 Nothing. But

Speaker 1 it's, I think, making the Democrats look more and more out of touch. Every day that goes by, they're on the wrong side of almost everything.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's in a way, you're sort of luring them into backing the guy who might be a MS-13 gang member.

Speaker 4 It's odd, though, you know, of course, I want us to get these things right. I mean, the Trump administration has admitted they weren't supposed to do this.
This wasn't a mistake.

Speaker 4 I don't think, as some are saying on the left, that it was an intentional act. I think it is what they said it was.
I think it was

Speaker 4 an administrative mistake, an error. I do think that if they really wanted him back, they could probably get him.
I'm pretty sure they could convince Bukay to send him back if they really wanted to.

Speaker 4 I don't think they really want to. And at this point, I think they're just annoyed by the left enough to not ask.
Can I ask you something?

Speaker 1 Warren, Elizabeth Warren has been bashing JFK, or sorry, RFK,

Speaker 1 for

Speaker 1 him saying that we're going to find the root of autism.

Speaker 1 And she's like, autism has created, let me just do this. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation's greatness.

Speaker 1 To every kid with autism, I'm in this fight all the way for you. Oh, shut up.
Stop it, Elizabeth. I mean, these are the people who are pushing for, you know,

Speaker 1 we've got to kill all of the babies that might have Down syndrome. I mean, please.

Speaker 4 You can't take anything from Elizabeth Warren.

Speaker 1 So bad.

Speaker 4 It is an interesting twist in this conversation, though.

Speaker 4 Like, they're seemingly trying to go down some road of saying that, like, oh, people who are affected with very deep autism that because there's

Speaker 4 a wide wide, wide spectrum.

Speaker 1 Peter Thiel, like Elon Musk. There's a wide, wide spectrum, as you know.

Speaker 4 I mean, like, there is, there are some people who really, really struggle with daily life. I will say, a large portion of the people now that are diagnosed as autistic, I
