Now, let's get to work.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

To mine on the Wednesday night special New Blaze TV, a staggering rise of left-wing violence since Trump returned to the White House.

For years, the media and federal government have warned of this looming threat.

We've talked about it for more than a decade.

Right-wing militias, gun-toting extremists, Trump supporters, you know, they were the ones on domestic terror list.

But now the script is flipping and no one seems to be bothered by it on the left or in the media.

The fact is they're encouraging it in the name of resistance.

The real explosion of political violence this year has not come from the right, surprise, surprise.

It has come from the radical, Marxist-infused left, the very groups that the mainstream media, academia, and the Democratic leaders have been nurturing for years, that we have been warning about for years.

The fire bombings, the ICE ambushes, the political assassination attempts and assassinations, the arson attacks, the last eight months has seen a wave of left-wing terror, Antifa cells, pro-Hamas extremists, anarchist groups targeting law enforcement, ICE agents, Republican leaders, even innocent Jewish Americans.

And the silence from the left speaks volumes.

Tonight, I'm going to put it out on the chalkboard.

Some Democratic lawmakers are not just ignoring the violence, they're fueling it.

This is not a protest.

This is a campaign of chaos, and we're at the beginning of it.

Tonight, I'll break all of this down, the rise of left-wing violence.

That's tonight at 9 p.m.

only on Blaze TV and youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

Don't miss it.

Do you have a segment in there determining if I don't know if it's been covered already, but

do we know if this particular murderer in New York is

good-looking enough for his murder to be justified?

Do we know?

Yeah, Donnie, I think, is still out of the country.

So we haven't gotten a ruling yet.

Oh, okay.

I'm curious because, I mean, I know when you have abs,

then your murderers are praised and you get streets named after you.

So I'm curious on this one.

Like, is it only white kids that get that treatment?

Is that the line that the last time?

Maybe that's it.

Good-looking white kids get that treatment.

Yeah, maybe it is that.

That's really good.

Well, we'll figure that out soon.

I'm curious to know what murders we're allowed to justify these days.

So the mentally unwell, the guy

who stabbed 11 people at the Walmart in Michigan over the weekend,

please sit down.

This is going to come as a complete shock to you.

He was mentally unstable.

What?

Mentally unstable.

Yeah.

And apparently his records, he's got a history of this with the police gone back decades.

You are kidding me.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

I haven't heard a lot of coverage about how that stopped.

Any idea how that incident was stopped?

I believe it was with some fanatic with a gun.

Oh, gosh.

Another one of these gun-toting maniacs.

I know.

I know.

Oh, no.

Now, Democratic-appointed federal judges in Oregon are now refusing to jail suspects charged with violence at the ICE facility.

and an Elon Musk Tesla store.

They decided the judge, Robert Jacob Hoops, is now released pending trial after he allegedly tried to ram his way into an ICE facility in Portland, injured an ICE officer's eye with a rock.

The Department of Justice is not happy about this.

Two other Oregon defendants accused of armed assaults on federal agents at a Tesla store were also giving supervised release despite the Trump administration's objections.

You know, but, I mean, you don't want to teach people that this isn't effective.

You don't want to teach people that, you know, they're...

that they can't get away with this.

That's the worst thing you could do.

At least to leftists, this plays into what I'm talking about tonight.

When the judges refuse to recognize this, when they refuse to say, well, that's a real danger.

You tried to set the whole Tesla thing on fire, and you were throwing rocks at people and injuring people, and you tried to jam your car into some of the people.

You know,

that's a problem, and you shouldn't be out on the streets.

I mean,

even this, I mean, I'm not sure, and I think they go hand in hand,

mental illness and possession.

I mean, we have people that are so dark now, so filled with darkness, that it's an open invite to more darkness.

And if you look at people, have you ever seen the videos of people where they're on the streets and,

you know, it's just somebody saying, hey, I disagree with you.

And the other person is like, ah!

And they're just screaming and they look like they're out of their mind.

I think they're possessed.

I think that, I mean, there is something deeply disturbing about all of this.

And we've told you for years, without knowing it, a large portion.

In fact, do you remember the show we did on

Wall Street, the Occupy Wall Street, and how they were actually performing rituals that were rituals for Moloch?

And I'm not saying that they knew it.

They were just doing it.

They were doing the same ritualistic stuff that you used to do for Moloch worship.

And, you know, we were talking about at the same time, you know, these people don't know, have any idea what they're doing, but they are inviting evil in.

And you're seeing the results of it now.

I don't know what, how much of it is mental illness.

I don't know how much of it is just

people gone wrong because they've been lied to or they're just built that way.

And how much of it is just darkness that is around this whole movement?

But we better figure this out.

And we better, you know, I don't understand.

Well, I do.

I do.

You know, I did a monologue for young men earlier today

and talked about how,

you know, they're being pushed down into this corner and being told that they're nothing and they'll never make it.

And, you know, they play by the rules and then they can't get jobs or,

you know, they're just saddled with this debt and the whole education system is a lie.

By the way, please, please reconsider sending your kids to college.

Please.

It's not just ideological.

It is strapping them with debt.

And those jobs, you don't have any idea what jobs are going to be here in three years.

You remember when Joe Biden said learn to code?

That ain't a job anymore.

Please, please, they're preparing for jobs that are going away.

I'm going for business in accounting.

Oh,

hurry.

I hope you're graduating soon because that's going to last about 10 more minutes.

Yeah, I was listening to some podcasts and they were talking about, hey, like, this is the time to become a plumber because right now

there's no chance.

Do you know why?

Do you know why a plumber is good?

Well, I mean, the way they were talking about it was like, you know, AI doesn't have fingers

soon.

It was probably soon.

Yeah.

The reason why plumbers are good, and

this will last, you know, maybe 20 years

until AI catches up, and it will, but

it's not going to be something easily conquered by AI.

Plumbing, have you ever opened up?

Have you ever remodeled a house?

You pull down the walls and you never have any idea what you're going to find because people are like, I'm just going to put that there.

And you're like, what?

That doesn't make any.

Why is that in that wall?

Okay.

AI can build plumbing and assemble plumbing and things in new houses.

It will be able to be done by robotics in new houses quickly.

Yeah.

But it cannot

think and repair.

crazy ass plumbers who have done stuff for a hundred years and you're like, it makes no sense.

Right.

So it takes a human to understand a human and open that wall and go, okay, okay, I got it.

I see what they're trying to do here.

And fix it in the way only a crazy human would fix it.

That's interesting.

Because I think the thought process there is part of it.

But like, you know, I mentioned this.

I was fixing something at my house recently and I, you know, didn't know what I was doing, which is usually how these things begin.

And, but now you really get to that point where you can just kind of open up.

I just opened up the panel.

It was like an automated gate type of like thing that was opening and closing, and it wasn't working.

And I opened it up and just took a picture of it and said, this is what I have.

What do I do?

And AI just like, oh, you have this system.

It looks like this thing is not working.

You might want to connect this to this and try, you know, whatever it was.

And it was, you know, it was easy for me to do.

It would have been a trip from the guy who services, you know, whoever fixes the gate.

And, you know, now that didn't happen anymore.

But go in and try not to redo all the plumbing.

Just say, I have to fix this,

and I don't know what's behind the wall.

There's no schematics.

There's no way of having to.

I don't have any of the original plans or builds.

For a while,

it will take a man to do it.

That wasn't the argument of this particular show I was listening to.

It was, hey, like, they're not going to...

AI can tell you how to fix that.

And yes, a robot can theoretically do basic things, but like it doesn't have the control, the hand control.

No, it doesn't have it yet.

And it will.

It will eventually.

But

so

you've got that wave to ride, but that's going to change fast.

You have that one.

And then the next one is it can't understand

without schematics and everything else.

It can't understand all of that yet, but it will do that too.

So you have two waves to ride yet.

Right.

And I don't know why people are not interested in plumbing.

You make a lot of money in plumbing, a lot.

Yeah.

And you're going to deal with

crap in other jobs too.

So I mean, it's not like, I don't want to be around crap.

Oh, you're around it.

You're around it all the time, no matter what you're doing.

Yeah.

I mean,

my stepbrother owns a business that does plumbing and he's done great with it.

Like he built himself up from nothing and worked at another place and started his own thing.

And he's done great because of it.

It's a great industry to be in.

I mean, you know, just like anything else, it's not for everybody.

You know, people like to do different things.

But like, those are the types of jobs that feel like they have

the jobs that don't have, that have a very short runway are the jobs that just require sitting at a desk and thinking.

Right.

And like, that's gone.

That's gone.

What they're doing now is taking these graduate level,

like where they would take like new, new graduates from law school and plump, pluck them into these things.

They'd hire a couple hundred of them.

Let me just say law school.

That's over.

Anyway, go ahead.

It's going to be tough, man.

Yeah, it's going to be.

There's obviously human interactions that can be helped by humans, at least at the moment.

But it doesn't take, like it used to take a whole office to do, you know, to do research for law.

It doesn't take that now, but it does take, did you hear about the, where were they, the judge that was issuing rulings and it was clearly AI and making up quotes and things from the trial that were never never said.

So the judge would go, guilty.

And I'm releasing

my judgment online later today.

And it was making up testimony that wasn't even in the court.

And the judge is like, wait, okay, you caught me.

I won't do it again.

Well, you shouldn't have done it in the first place.

And I don't know if we give you a second chance, in my opinion.

Yeah, I think the answer to that is no.

But like people who are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to these high-level law schools are coming out.

And instead of going into those entry-level jobs, which are still good gigs, but they are basic jobs, these law firms are like, oh, well, we don't need people for that anymore.

We just need AI to do that.

And I think it's going to reform relationships and the way they work, too.

Like the example of this from My Life the other day.

You have roles in your household, right?

Like you do certain things.

Everyone has a little role.

Like, you know, someone, you handle this, you handle this.

Like, and it just kind of develops over time.

So our printer breaks.

Now, printers last approximately three days, in my opinion.

They just are terrible.

They always break.

They don't work.

They lose connection online.

So we have this situation where my printer is now telling me that my paper tray is not in the printer.

The paper tray is in the printer.

I'm seeing it.

It's right there.

I've even gone to the point a couple of times to try to fix this.

I spent 15 minutes a couple times.

I took a picture of the printer and I said, hey, this is telling me the stupid sensor.

It's not, you know, the paper tray is is not in.

The paper tray is in.

What's wrong with this?

This is a very common problem with this printer.

Pete, the sensor is broken, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You know, it gives me all this stuff.

I haven't had time to fix it.

Now, my wife, who you know,

buys one-third of all products Amazon sells,

returns approximately 20% of those products after she buys them.

So she's constantly needing the printer to print out shipping return labels.

So apparently,

my

excitement level to fix this printer printer was not high enough, and I had not done it in this

short enough amount of time.

So, my wife tells me she's now replaced the printer.

She's now bought a new printer and sent it to the house.

And I said, Well, what do you mean?

I haven't had a time to go through it or anything.

And like, when we buy new printers, that's my job.

My job is to look, to go through, read all the reviews, understand which one's actually the best one, and do that's my job.

She needed a printer.

She wanted the printer.

She just, she goes, oh, I just went on ChatGPT and asked that for what's the best printer.

And then she had it sent to the house.

Now, you tell her.

I will say the heroic ending to the story is I fixed the damn printer and we're returning this new printer she ordered.

Yeah, and you tell her, you enjoy your Friday night with ChatGPT, girlie.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Great story in Place Media today.

When Donald Trump's strongest voting block starts to fall off after six months of a largely successful second term, it's time for some soul-searching.

Not just because the midterms loom or because 2028 is already on the horizon, but the demographic in question, young men, will shape, defend, and lead this country well beyond the next election.

If they've grown too cynical to bother, the rest of us are going to be left holding the bag.

When the past and the present betray a generation, expect that generation to reshape the future.

Today's young men are angrier, more cynical, more disruptive, and more serious.

They don't want to save Social Security.

They want to be saved from it.

They aren't starting out wide-eyed like the boomers.

They didn't get the luxury of being idealists first and realists later.

They started with realism, forged by debt, disillusionment, and betrayal.

These young men want a way of life back.

They want accountability for the people who stole it from them.

This is something we have been talking about on this program.

If we do not hold people accountable, we are in deep trouble.

You lose the Republic.

The average 25-year-old white male is already more based than his Republican voting grandfather ever was or could be.

And he's not finding any comfort in Fox News.

So the question is, will anyone offer him a white pill before he plants the flag of I just don't care anymore at the 50-yard line of American life?

This generation will not follow unless they're given a mission worth sacrificing for.

Trump's brand won't carry them forever.

They can't afford homes.

They can't find wives who aren't steeped in feminist dogma.

They can't compete in a DEI-rigged job market.

And now they're expected to watch the people who ruined their future skate without any consequence.

That's not how this works.

That's not how any of this works.

Young men don't just want slogans.

They want justice.

They want our leaders to treat domestic traitors at least as ruthlessly as we've treated our allies in trade negotiations.

They've seen enough memes.

If the memes don't end in prison time, they'll see them as mockery.

They want consequences, and they wanted them handed out with severe prejudice.

That's the instinct of men who have been cornered too long.

Dread it, dread it, run from it, because it is coming.

When the past and present betray a generation, expect that generation to

reshape the future, our shot at shaping that future is now.

And if we fail, if we fail to hold the deep state accountable yet again, then we better produce an economic boom big enough to distract from the urge to burn everything down.

We've convinced ourselves that soft, passive men define the modern male, but sooner or later the animal comes raging back and a new generation rises looking to settle old scores.

You better get ready.

That's from The Blaze today and it is an excellent piece, well written and spot on.

So let me talk directly to any young man who might be listening right now because I see this in my son.

You have been lied to over and over and over again.

Not once, not twice, but since the day you were born, you've been lied to.

You were lied about

what it even means to be a man, lied to about what's good, lied to about truth itself.

You have been told that masculinity is dangerous.

And in some ways, it is.

I'll get into that in here in a second.

They told you it had to be tamed, medicated, and deconstructed.

They told you you can't follow your instincts.

You can't you're not here to protect or provide.

You're not here to lead.

You're told, sit down, shut up, memorize these dates and names that mean nothing in real life, and just follow the rules.

Remember, this will be on the test.

And these are the same rules that you watched break your parents.

You watched them.

You saw

how your country

and your future was hollowed out.

In bankruptcy.

You know what I mean.

You saw the look on your father's face face and in his eyes in 2008 when everything he worked for was just wiped out.

You saw your mom do twice the work and still come up short.

And then, somehow or another, they saved up enough to send you off to school.

And they told you it was for an education because they believed that.

But that wasn't an education.

They were reprogramming you.

They taught you how to protest, how to self-diagnose, how to beg for safe spaces instead of building strength.

They They trained you for cubicles, for conveyor belts, not for mountains, not for missions, not for meeting.

None of those came into play.

And now people wonder why the youth is discouraged.

Why the 20-somethings, while the males are discouraged, why they feel like just giving up.

Why so many 20-somethings and teenagers are just checking out, kill themselves, or kill others.

I wonder why.

I wonder why.

This society hasn't given them anything to live for.

Nothing has meaning.

Well, let me tell you the truth that they never will.

You were born for something more.

A lot more.

And deep in your bones, you know it.

There has to be more than this.

Because if this is all there is, what a colossal waste of time and energy.

I wouldn't want it either.

But here's the truth.

The truth is, you were born for a reason.

You were made to push boundaries, to defend the weak, to build, to risk, to sweat, to suffer for something greater than yourself.

You know, nothing in life worth having comes easy.

And you have had that lie told you over and over again.

Just do these things and you'll make it.

No, no.

Nothing is easy.

They tell you that lie and then they encourage you to give up.

Don't.

You were made to take that fire in your chest and turn it into something, into purpose.

And yes.

They were right about one thing.

Man is to be feared.

For a couple of reasons.

There is is a beast inside of you.

Everybody has one.

Men have a monster.

It's a destructive force that rages

when life seems unfair, when justice feels like a joke,

when you're told to

taught to be powerless, to pretend that you're powerless, the world fears that part of you.

Because when that beast is unleashed, especially in young men, the world knows what happens, and it is not good.

But here's the other reason they fear, and they've hidden this truth.

They fear you

because they know if you figure out that that contained, that controlled, that shaped

is the most powerful thing on earth.

You were not created to be a monster.

You were created to master one.

You weren't created to medicate that monster.

You weren't created to

disavow that monster, to claim it doesn't exist.

You were made to tame that monster.

I'm riddled with ADD.

Riddled with ADD.

If I were your age, they would have medicated me from the beginning.

And I don't think I would be doing this job.

I have, I don't even know.

I have one, two, three, five screens in front of me, six screens, seven screens in front of me, eight screens in front of me.

And I know what's on all of them.

I can see them and I can talk to you and I can process that.

I have somebody once in a while, Sarah will speak into my ear and say, two minutes.

I can do all of these things because I have ADD.

It's a blessing, but if I were your age, they would have told me that was a curse and I'll never make it unless I medicate.

Don't medicate it.

Conquer it.

Tame it.

It's a strength.

You don't suppress these things.

You discipline these things.

You make the things that are inside of you serve truth.

That's what you do.

Once that serves truth, that's what you have that all of a sudden you're able to protect your future wife, your children, your neighbors.

The kind of strength that under control separates tyrants from heroes.

Don't believe the lies that you're alone because you're not alone.

You are part of an amazing brotherhood of men all across time that have felt the same call, the same call and the same pull both ways.

But the ones who tamed that, the ones that understood, the ones that were allowed to be them, that were also told, you're not alone, you're not abnormal, this is normal in your life,

but channel that, those are the men that crossed the oceans in wooden boats.

They were the ones that walked across the bloody beaches in Normandy.

They were the men who picked up dead Freds at Gettysburg and still charged forward.

They're the men who looked up in the sky and said, I'm going to go there.

And then when they got there, they said, what's next?

That's the blood of men that runs through your veins.

And they were not monsters.

They were not unbridled men.

They were men.

They were men.

And you are that image-bearer of truth, that vessel of strength, that defender of civilization.

You were made in the image of God.

You are a literal son of God.

And

you were born with glory and honor.

Now, the question is: do you return at the end with glory and honor?

But that is your birthright,

and no professor, no bureaucrat, no algorithm can take any of that from you.

So, what now?

What do you do now?

Well, now

you decide.

And believe me,

I've

I'm an alcoholic.

My mother committed suicide when I was young.

I almost committed suicide.

I've had suicides in my family.

I've been there.

I have absolutely been there and back and then back there and then back.

It's hard.

And I remember I thought, okay, I'm deciding I'm not going to drink anymore

and I am not going to end my life the way my mom did and I made that decision on my knees down on the floor

I mean I know exactly where I was in the room I remember the smell of the room I remember everything about it

but I also remember I when I made that decision I got back up

and that night I went to bed and the next morning I still felt like dog crap even though I made the decision And it took years

of holding on to that decision and deciding the same thing every day.

You have two roads in front of you right now.

One leads to despair,

quiet, maybe comfortable, but death.

And that lets the world define you.

That lets fear run your life.

That's you becoming passive, bitter, and numb.

I've been down that road.

That is not good.

That's the dangerous one.

To some degree.

The other road is also dangerous, but not in the same way.

Because this one,

the road is steep.

It's very lonely at times,

but it leads to some place.

Every time I meet a new

alcoholic, somebody who has just started to give up

alcohol and surrender their life and say, I just, I'm more than this.

I don't want this in my life anymore.

I tell them the same thing every time.

Keep going.

It is so

worth it.

If you take that road, you reclaim

your manhood.

You reclaim your life.

You take ownership.

You stop waiting for somebody to rescue you.

You stop blaming things on everybody else and you just start taking responsibility and you build the kind of future, the future future that you want your sons to inherit.

But it takes, like everything else,

an awful lot of self-education, an awful lot of self-discipline.

You train for it.

You stay humble.

You stay grounded in truth.

You build real friendships.

You love fiercely.

And you do the hard thing, especially when no one else is watching.

Because

hear me,

the world will not get better until you do.

But you are not defined by your past.

You're not defined by the things that restrain you.

You're not defined by your obstacles.

You're not limited by your pain.

You're not doomed by the system you were born into.

You are capable of unbelievable greatness, of leading and discovering, of healing and rebuilding all the things that others have destroyed, that's your job.

You can be the generation that finds the key to freedom again, not just politically, but spiritually, personally, culturally.

You are the generation that are going to be the first people to walk on Mars.

You will break chains that you don't even recognize right now.

You are going to love well.

You are going to have unbelievable sons and daughters.

You're going going to fight justly.

You're going to build wisely.

You're going to leave this place better than you found it, better than anything my generation could have done.

So rise up as a man.

The time for boyhood has passed.

The time of blame is past.

The time to rise up as a man is right now.

Stand up and stand like a man.

And having done everything you can,

recognize tomorrow still might suck a little bit.

But when you finally get there, it was so worth the fight.

And it's still worth the fight.

All you have to do

is stand.

What do you think is going to happen with the interest rate today?

You think,

I mean,

Trump wants it dropped three points.

That's not going to happen.

No.

And the Fed expectations are that I think out of like the 10, you know, 10 people that are saying one,

one

is saying he might drop it a quarter of a point.

Be a start, but he's not going to drop it three points, two points, even one point.

But should he begin to drop it?

Yeah.

I mean, there's only so much you can do when people can't afford houses.

It's not a good thing in America.

Not a good thing.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if the...

Are there interest rates the problem there?

I mean, we've seen

the Case-Schiller Index go through the roof, right, over the past few years.

It's as high as it's ever been.

It's the price of

the problem, it's the price of homes and the cost of money.

I mean, if you're looking to buy a house and then you go to the bank and they're like, okay, well, that'll cost you $1,000 more a month.

You're like, wait, wait, what?

I mean, that is a real problem.

By the way, Calci prediction markets, the Fed decision in July, 97% chance the Fed maintains rate, 3% chance it cuts by 25 basis points.

So basically, there are

no chances is what the markets believe.

It doesn't mean it's right.

No.

I mean, if you're Jerome, what do you think of Jerome Powell?

There's two different types of people, right?

You have,

we've seen this with world leaders.

Some of these trade negotiations have gone this way.

When Donald Trump comes to you and says, hey, you're doing this, some world leaders are like,

screw you.

Some world leaders are like, yes, sir, I am.

I would say the majority of them are, yes, sir, I am.

And the majority of people in government are yes, sir, I am.

There are some that are like, no.

Now,

the appropriate response is to, if you're the Fed chair, is to not respond at all to Donald Trump's pressures either way.

Like, you can take his opinion

into context, but you're supposed to be independent from all of that in that role.

He could be the type of person who's going to be like, I don't like the way Trump's talking about me.

I don't want to get him off my back.

I'm going to do what he says.

Or he could be the person who spitefully says, the fact that he's saying these things to me means I'm never going to lower rates.

Neither of those are appropriate, by the way.

That's not what the Fed chair is supposed to do.

to do.

He's supposed to make the decision, just like the Supreme Court, make the decision on the basis of the law or what's in front of you in your realm.

But wait, you think he's one of those two types?

Powell?

I didn't get past the fact that you're talking about Powell, who I think is a moron in the first place.

I think he looks at...

I think he looks at all of the stuff.

He's doing things that he shouldn't be doing.

The Fed caused most of the problems that we're having.

Yeah, I mean,

spending, spending, obviously.

But when it comes to inflation, that's all the Fed.

That's all the bailouts.

It's all the crap that they did.

Right.

He can't.

Now he was obviously appointed by Trump in the first term.

So he wasn't necessarily around for those old school bailouts.

Is he still in that role?

I mean, he's still playing the same song

over and over and over again.

Nobody is, you know, that's the problem.

President Trump can't say, I'm going to pick from my own list.

They propose you can pick from these five people.

Oh, can I?

Oh, thank you.

So, you know,

the odds are anybody who's on that list is going to do the same thing.

You know, and that's the real problem.

But, I mean, with 3% growth with our GDP, that's good.

That's really good.

That's solid.

Yeah.

There's a lot of good things going on, by the way, in the case of good things.

It does get swept under the carpet quite a bit.

And that

bothers me, but I understand it.

It bothers me because

if I have to spend another day on the air

talking, you know, an hour or a whole show about, hey, there's this new information.

This guy is out and looks like he's really super guilty and they're going to get him now.

I can't do that.

I just can't do this job anymore.

I am just not interested in that job.

You know what I mean?

You're saying like some of the people, you know, involved in the Russia situation.

Yeah, any of it.

Any of it.

Because here's the, and this is new for me.

I no longer believe.

I don't believe that justice is going to happen.

I no longer believe that those people are going to go to jail.

Now, the minute they start putting people in jail, I am right back to where I was.

Okay,

you're serious about it.

Why should I be serious about these things if they're not?

And that's a really bad place to be because if you're not paying attention to it, if you're just tuning it out, which I'm not, but I am, I look at the stories every day and I, I, you know, I come in at 6 a.m.

and I start looking at the stories and I balance and go, okay, what's most important?

What gets on the show?

What doesn't get on the show?

What do I need to understand?

So it might relate to this story.

And I look at most of it now in the last few weeks and I've just, I've been like, it doesn't matter.

It matters deeply, but there's nothing I can do about it.

No amount of talking about this is going to change anything because the whole system is only about talk.

And talk doesn't matter.

It's actions.

I mean, look at what Donald Trump has done in so many good ways.

He's not talking about it.

In fact, there's times that you're like, wait, he just did what?

He didn't even talk about it.

He just did it.

That's what the country needs is action.

We don't need more talk.

We just need to know what the facts are, what the Constitution says, put those two together and let it roll.

That's what you need.

And nobody's thinking that way, it seems.

There's no common sense.

It's just all politics.

It's just all graft and buyouts and payoffs and you know, friends of friends.

And I mean, and I've never been here.

Have you ever even heard me ever talk about it like this, Stu?

No.

I've never been here.

And it's weird.

And I don't like it.

And my, my job is becoming, I mean, it's amazing how the Lord works if you listen.

He told me, what, a year ago or so,

things are changing.

Something's not right.

And that's the feeling I had in my gut.

And I started looking and

that's why I'm doing the torch beginning next year.

But

now

I'm finally caught.

Thank God I listened to him because I've been working a year on something.

But now it's all hitting me on like, oh, this is why I need to change.

This is why this new thing that I'm doing in January is so important because

I no longer believe.

And I'm a pretty good judge of people.

I don't have the gut the president has, but I have a pretty good gut on the average American.

And I think the average American still like me cares deeply.

We care about all of this stuff deeply,

but I can't continue to beat it.

I will continue to follow it, but I can't continue to beat it to death until something moves.

I will follow it.

I will keep informed on it, but I am not going to, I'm not going to tie any hopes or dreams on it.

What happens happens

I'll do my part I'll speak out I'll stand up have you called your senator and said pass the nominees have you

you need to what is it 132 nominees they're just stopped they're stopped just stopped these these senators should not be allowed to go home until they do their

job.

Are they going to?

I don't know.

If we don't pay attention, if we don't do that one thing and pick up the phone and say, Senator,

do your job.

Senate Republicans, I'm talking to you.

I know what the Democrats are doing.

I'm talking to you as a Republican.

Do your job.

Don't try to convince me you support the president, you support the agenda of the American people.

The American people hired him to do a job.

He said, I need these people.

They're all qualified.

And you won't even listen to the case.

You want to reject them?

Reject them.

But you won't even do that.

You won't listen to their case.

How are you possibly doing the work of the American people?

You're all talk.

And I'm tired of all talk.

That's where I think that's where the American people are.

That's where I am.

And if I'm out of step, I'm out of step.

And that that won't be good for me.

But I can't pretend.

You know, and I'm like that on almost everything.

And so I look then and go, okay, so what is important?

Well, what is important is the future that is coming, whether we like it or not.

It has nothing to do with politics.

And that is what's happening to the youth of America.

Because we are now at the point where we are supposed to let go of what we have.

It's their turn.

It's their turn.

If you're in 65,

you should not be,

you know, forcing your way in the Senate.

70, certainly 80.

What are you doing?

Let the youth come in.

Let them start making decisions.

Let them shape the next generation.

Let them clean up the mess that you have made.

Because they're the ones, they're not going to get Social Security.

They're not going to get it.

And you're still insisting that, well, we can't cut off people in their 40s.

Yes, we can, because we have to.

We have to.

And that doesn't mean just cut them and cut them loose.

It means rethinking the way things are done.

But you're so calcified in your thinking that it's got to be social security, it's got to be done this way.

Well, that's a sham, and we all know it, and we've known it for a long time, and it's going to bankrupt our children and our grandchildren.

So, can we get some new blood in that thinks differently?

You know what?

This is a stupid system.

This is stupid.

Why aren't we doing it this way?

Can we get somebody in who even understands what AI is?

Well, it's a computer thing that, you know, we have that'll answer, you know, press one if you want to talk to your senator.

Oh my.

Why are we, why?

Why?

Those people need to let go.

It is the younger generation's turn.

And it is our turn to beg that generation to to wait, wait, wait.

Please learn stuff that they never taught you in school.

They lied to you.

And it's not going to be hard.

They know it.

They know it.

They all know it.

Why do you think they're killing themselves?

Because nothing has meaning.

They don't think there's any hope.

Why?

Because of the way I'm feeling.

Nothing changes.

It's all talk.

Nothing, I can't make a difference in this.

And then they're on top of it told, you'll never amount to anything.

The system is hell-bent against you.

There's no way you're going to get a job, but you better pay that.

You better pay that

college bill.

And you know what?

For the first time in my life,

my answer is: yes, you do have to pay that bill.

But boy, I understand how you feel.

Because the whole system was rigged

to

strap you with that, while the universities got rich,

while

the

government players, they all got rich.

They all got what they needed to protect them in their political world from the universities doing all the kinds of research that they needed to keep us in war, in war, keep building more war, more war.

They used those same universities to do

behavioral science.

Do you not think that the smartest behavioral scientists that are all now working for our government,

mainly for the left, do you really think that they didn't know that this would disenfranchise a whole generation?

That none of them stopped and said, you know what, that's really going to piss off the younger generation.

No, they knew that.

And then they were either told or suggested, we'll make that work for us.

I'm sorry, I may be just too cynical, but I don't think I am.

I've always been an optimist.

But this doesn't work.

This doesn't work.

And the only way back is through the truth.

And that means the God

and

the truths that have been true for 5,000 years about how man works.

Not about just how the country works, how man works.

Socialism denies humans and humanity.

It denies everything that is innate in us.
