There's a few things that we talked about today. First, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, they came out this weekend and said Epstein absolutely killed himself.
They've seen the evidence.
Speaker 2 And there's some backlash from people who have supported both Bongino and Cash Patel. And I've got a warning on this one.
Speaker 2 Some questions have to be asked by each of us with this, but it also plays into the boat crash into a bridge, this time in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 Is there, I mean, is this sabotage with our transportation in general? Is this some sort of a shark bump? It's vital that you hear today's podcast.
Speaker 2 You might want to get the full podcast to understand the seven cycles, the seven steps towards the destruction of an empire.
Speaker 2
Because we're in the last phase, and I believe these stories are taking one of those legs out from that table. All right, all this and more on today's podcast.
Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 2
You got to love corporate America. You buy a burger and you're funding a climate lobby.
You stream a movie and you're paying for a propaganda campaign. Your phone bill?
Speaker 2 Yeah, that one is helping to fund political movement that thinks your values are dangerous. It's like you're being forced to subscribe to the opposite of everything you believe in with autopay.
Speaker 2
Here's a wild idea. What if your phone company actually shared your values? We didn't used to have to have this, but we do now.
We've got to start supporting the people who stand with us.
Speaker 2 What if they used a portion of their profits to defend religious freedom, protect the unborn, support first responders instead of whatever it is the other guys are doing this week?
Speaker 2 That's Patriot Mobile. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
Speaker 2
They use the same cell towers as the big guys, so you still get great coverage, but your dollars go to fight what you want to be in. And switching, it's easy.
They'll even help you keep your number.
Speaker 2 You can switch your phone, get a new phone, doesn't matter. Who's your phone company really working for? If it's not you,
Speaker 2
you know what to do. Make the switch today.

Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
Speaker 2
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Speaker 2 Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
Speaker 2 This isn't a podcast, this is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So, if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Speaker 2
Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get get to work.
Speaker 2 You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program. Welcome to the Blenbeck program.
Speaker 2 We've been talking about all of the lies that have been told.
Speaker 2 Who believes anymore that the traditional media is telling you the truth on anything?
Speaker 2 Who believes that,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 the media didn't know about Joe Biden?
Speaker 2 Who believes that Joe Biden's cancer is a new subject? Now, that one's hard because that very well could be brand new.
Speaker 2 But it also, because we don't believe in so many other things, it might have been known when he was still in the White House. We don't know.
Speaker 2 But do you believe it? I'm not asking you what you know. I'm asking you what you believe.
Speaker 2 Then Cash Patel comes out, along with Dan Bongino, two very credible people on our side, on Donald Trump's handpick
Speaker 2 inside team.
Speaker 2 And they say the
Speaker 2 Epstein suicide was a suicide. And my first response was, mm-mm.
Speaker 2
And then I immediately went, but it's coming from these guys. I believe these guys.
I know these guys.
Speaker 2 And so then I started getting into critical thinking. Okay, what would it take for me to believe them? And they just have to show us what they saw because that's a role reversal.
Speaker 2
They've switched. They said it wasn't a suicide.
Now, all I need to know is what did you see and show it to me?
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 Why is this important to use critical thinking? We just went through four of the seven stages of,
Speaker 2 it's called the seven stage cycle of
Speaker 2 civilizational collapse.
Speaker 2 First, the age of pioneers, that's the Revolutionary War, then the Age of Conquest, that's, you know, the expansion out west.
Speaker 2 The age of commerce, that is the really the 20th century, early 20th century. The age of affluence, beginning around the Reagan years, where the decay begins and it becomes about leisure and stuff.
Speaker 2 Then fifth,
Speaker 2 and this is where the last time I read this, I thought we were here, and maybe a little in the sixth, maybe.
Speaker 2 The age of intellect,
Speaker 2 elite rule and fragmentation.
Speaker 2
Experts and technocrats dominate. Reason replaces faith.
Society becomes obsessed with process, bureaucracy, identity, and division. People grow disconnected from elites.
Populist backlash begins.
Speaker 2 This is France pre-1789, Weimar, Germany in the 1920s, and the US post-2000.
Speaker 2 The values, relativism, narcissism, hyper-education with moral void.
Speaker 2
So technocrats dominate? Yes. Reason replaces faith.
Yes. Society becomes obsessed with process.
Yes. Bureaucracy.
Yes. Identity? Absolutely.
And division. The people grow disconnected from elites.
Speaker 2
Yes. Populist backlash begins.
2016.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 2
Then you get into the sixth stage. The age of decadence.
Moral decline and decline of courage. Tell me if you can't check every box on this one.
National identity collapses.
Speaker 2 Almost there. Almost.
Speaker 2
Immigration without assimilation. Yes.
Public debt surges. Yes.
Breads and circuses replace responsibility. Yes.
Political corruption is normalized. Yes.
Speaker 2
Gender confusion. Yes.
Family disintegration. Yes.
Loss of fertility. Yes.
The use of drugs. Yes.
Hedonism dominates. Yes.
Speaker 2 That's Rome, the third through the fifth century. And is this us today? The values, hedonism, nihilism, and entitlement.
Speaker 2 I think yes, yes, and yes.
Speaker 2 Then you get into the last phase.
Speaker 2 Would you agree, Stu, that we've hit everything else in that? Yeah, we're
Speaker 2 here at some degree or another where we've hit all of those. Okay.
Speaker 2 The age of of decline and collapse, disintegration. There's only two things.
Speaker 2 Number one,
Speaker 2 internal distrust, factionalism, and scapegoating.
Speaker 2 That's the first.
Speaker 2
All of that is where we are today with those stories. Internal distrust.
I don't trust anything. Do you?
Speaker 2 Factionalism.
Speaker 2 Hello?
Speaker 2 MAGA
Speaker 2 and the
Speaker 2 what? Anti-MAGA? You're either a racist or an anti-racist.
Speaker 2 And scapegoating.
Speaker 2 I don't know.
Speaker 2 Jake Tapper, how's your book going?
Speaker 2 I think we're there.
Speaker 2 The last thing to happen.
Speaker 2 Currency collapse, loss of external power, or invasion.
Speaker 2 With Donald Trump in power, I don't think we're going to lose the external power or invasion unless our currency collapses. And our currency collapse could happen.
Speaker 2 Nobody, did you see they downgraded us yet again, Stu, remember? 2008. I'm saying in 2006, 2007, and we will lose our triple-A-plus status.
Speaker 2 They will downgrade us.
Speaker 2
The quote was: Never from every institution in America. Never, it will never happen.
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, it will never, ever happen.
Speaker 2 Well, it happened in like 2009, then it happened again in like 12 and 2016, and they just did it again.
Speaker 2 So, currency collapse is on the board.
Speaker 2 Values of this era, despair, tribalism,
Speaker 2 and the choice between authoritarianism or anarchy.
Speaker 2 We're there.
Speaker 2 Okay, so I don't tell you this to bum you out. I tell you this because there is something you can do.
Speaker 2 That's why I started today's show with those questions.
Speaker 2
We must, I believe this is a national emergency. And I believe Donald Trump should declare our trust in these institutions a national emergency.
We must be transparent.
Speaker 2 This is why I said I want cash and I want Dan Bongino to show the American people what changed their minds. I would love a hearing on it and not some big drawn out,
Speaker 2 you know, hearing in Congress with a bunch of, I just want to see. I want to see the files.
Speaker 2 Because internal distrust is a choice.
Speaker 2 Because if you're saying today, I don't believe Dan Bongino and Cash Patel,
Speaker 2 which I'm stuck because I do believe them. I just
Speaker 2 think I don't have enough information to go with them on this.
Speaker 2
I believe in them, but I also believe that Epstein killed himself. Sorry, my throat was killing me.
I just like the fact that you crunched the ice as you took the sip.
Speaker 2 I believe them.
Speaker 2 I just believe also that Epstein killed himself, that he didn't hang himself with a paper sheet. Those two don't match.
Speaker 2 When something doesn't match, you have to go back and say, which one do you actually think is right? I can't because I don't have enough information.
Speaker 2 But I must do that because trust and distrust at this point is a choice.
Speaker 2 Now let me show you where distrust leads. If you don't
Speaker 2 trust Cash Patel and Dan Bongino,
Speaker 2 then you can't trust the FBI and the DOJ and anything that they're doing there.
Speaker 2 That's pretty bad because we just have the biggest reformer in of all time, a guy who said he would reform
Speaker 2 those two institutions, that he would be transparent. And he hired these two guys and we all cheered for those two guys.
Speaker 2 So if you don't trust them,
Speaker 2 If you just immediately go, something's wrong, I don't trust them,
Speaker 2 without saying, here, I don't trust that that is true, but I want to see what changed their mind, then your next step is:
Speaker 2 well, does Donald Trump know?
Speaker 2 And if he doesn't do something about them on something this egregious, they're clearly covering something up, then I got a problem with Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 Where does this end?
Speaker 2 This ends in guillotines in France.
Speaker 2
This is what happens. You betrayed the revolution.
No, I didn't. That's just not true.
Speaker 2 So the good news is,
Speaker 2 this is up to you.
Speaker 2
These things can be reversed. They just haven't been, but they can be reversed.
For instance, why would our currency collapse? Because we're being downgraded. Why are we being downgraded?
Speaker 2
Because we're spending too much. Why are we spending too much? Because the people in Washington won't listen to the American American people.
They have no courage. Back to
Speaker 2 stage six, decline of courage.
Speaker 2 That means we need more people who have courage that will say, this is the end of the republic if we don't do certain things.
Speaker 2 So where will you stand today?
Speaker 2 Will you dedicate yourself
Speaker 2 to not changing what you believe, per se,
Speaker 2 but at least demanding critical thinking answers
Speaker 2 for good critical thinking questions?
Speaker 2 I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 Thus, I am asking you to produce and have a conversation with the American people to show us what changed your mind.
Speaker 2 Show us the facts.
Speaker 2 We must restore trust.
Speaker 2
Relief Factor. You used to think missing a baseball game wasn't a big deal.
I mean, there's always another one, right? Then your son hit his first home run and you weren't there.
Speaker 2 Not because you didn't want to be, but because you couldn't stand for that long. You couldn't sit for that long on the bleachers.
Speaker 2
Couldn't move without feeling like somebody was digging a razor into your lower back. That's when you knew pain wasn't just stealing from me.
It was stealing from him as well.
Speaker 2
Maybe you've thought about trying Relief Factor, but you don't expect much. I mean, four key ingredients, all natural, drug-free.
But what if it works for you?
Speaker 2 What if baseball games and everything else you want to do was in reach again?

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 2 Well, hello, Stu.
Speaker 2
Glenn, what a time to be alive. It really is.
It's great to be alive. Can't wait to see how all this works out.
Yeah, it's a fascinating film that I'm not engaged in and doesn't really affect me.
Speaker 2
At least that's what I'm convincing myself of it. That's right.
It's a lot easier. You're just sitting in a theater.
Yeah, it's like what's going on. All the stuff.
Speaker 2
We're just watching this for entertainment purposes. We're like, wow, let's learn from this society.
Imagine what's going to be on the next episode. Wow, that's how I feel.
Speaker 2 All right, well, what was on last episode
Speaker 2 was
Speaker 2 another giant ship hitting another giant bridge.
Speaker 2 What is happening? Now, I've never seen this in my lifetime. Okay, I mean, I'm 62.
Speaker 2 I've seen it happen now two times,
Speaker 2 and it's been recently.
Speaker 2 I don't know about you, but I think,
Speaker 2 I think there's a problem.
Speaker 2 Now, what's happening? Two ships, two major American bridges less than, what, a year and a half apart from each other, both ships lose power.
Speaker 2 Now, we've seen this happen before.
Speaker 2 We've seen other ships lose power. I'll get into that here in a second.
Speaker 2 Recently, Baltimore, March 2024, Francis Scott Key Bridge collapses into the river because a Singaporean cargo ship, the Dali, loses propulsion, slams into the support column, six workers are killed.
Speaker 2 The whole country watches in shock, and you're like, wow, that doesn't happen. Well, then again, on Saturday, it happens again.
Speaker 2
A Mexican Navy tall ship loses power while departing New York Harbor. It drifts straight into the Brooklyn Bridge.
Two sailors die. Dozens were injured.
The masts shatter like matchsticks.
Speaker 2 The Brooklyn Bridge, an icon of American Resolve, shakes, but apparently everything is okay.
Speaker 2 Now, first of all, our condolences to all of those who were on the ship that lost their lives or were injured. We feel for you.
Speaker 2
That was an awful. They were all standing there on the masts.
Can you imagine standing there going, it's, we're not stopping. We're not stopping.
I got to get down.
Speaker 2
And then when the ship, when the masts go down, you saw them. They were all entangled in the ropes and they were just hanging there.
Some of them upside down. It was, it's nuts.
Okay.
Speaker 2 So the reason for that one, we're told, again,
Speaker 2 power.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 Okay. Maybe once, maybe twice.
Speaker 2 Both on foreign vessels. Both involved with high-profile American infrastructure.
Speaker 2 Now, we've been talking the last hour about trust.
Speaker 2 And I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 I just don't trust that this is, if this is what it is, then we should stop having computer systems run everything on these ships.
Speaker 2 That's the only reason why you could say, well, no, we just put in these new computers.
Speaker 2 that are running these ships and nobody's ever seen computers run things like ships before.
Speaker 2
And we don't know if they're safe and stable yet, then don't put them in the ship. If there's a problem with that, why don't we know there's, I can't use my phone on an airplane.
Why?
Speaker 2 Why?
Speaker 2
Because the FAA couldn't come up with a reason we had a plane crash. I think it was in Long Island years ago.
And they're like,
Speaker 2 cell phones.
Speaker 2 And we've been being told to turn off our cell phones and everything else because it interferes with the navigation systems on the plane. It does what?
Speaker 2
Excuse me? What does it do? Nobody believes that. Nobody believes that.
Okay? It's not true. It's just not true.
How come if you've ever flown in a private plane, they don't tell you that?
Speaker 2 Is there something special in private planes that makes their super, super navigational systems so much better than it is on a commercial airliner? No, it's a lie. It's a lie.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 what's wrong with these ships? Do you remember the ship that also lost power and then made like a loop-de-loop and then slammed into another ship? It was, I think, off the coast of maybe Singapore.
Speaker 2
Do you remember that? Happened about three, four years ago. It was like this insane thing where we lost power in navigation.
And it just, I mean, it was two like large, like freighters.
Speaker 2 No, I think it was a freighter and a naval ship, and it just pounded into the naval ship.
Speaker 2
Well, we lost power and lost navigation. Okay, okay, okay.
All right.
Speaker 2 There is something happening in the pit of my
Speaker 2 history section of my stomach that says, hmm, this isn't, this isn't right.
Speaker 2 Warning bell. Okay.
Speaker 2 What
Speaker 2
history would tell me is these are shark bumps. Okay.
You know what a shark bump is?
Speaker 2 I worked with Anderson Cooper one time.
Speaker 2 And we were sitting, getting ready to do, he was doing his show on CNN. I was doing my show on CNN headline news, which is, strangely, has better numbers now than any show on CNN currently.
Speaker 2 But anyway, so I'm getting ready to do my show on CNN headline news. and
Speaker 2 Anderson walks in, and he was always very kind
Speaker 2
to me, and we had a nice relationship. Yeah, he always was.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 he said, what'd you do this weekend?
Speaker 2 And I said, I took my kids, I don't know, to the park or whatever. I said, what'd you do? And he said,
Speaker 2 I went shark diving off the coast of Australia.
Speaker 2 You had a lot of those weird stories.
Speaker 2
And I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I haven't done that.
I said, why would you do that? And he said, well,
Speaker 2 we were going to make a dock on it and then something happened. And he said, so I just, you know, I wanted to be in the cage and have the sharks, you know, to see the sharks.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, okay, I could live my whole life without ever doing that.
Speaker 2
And he said, then when they pulled the cage up, I'm, you know, coming out. And he said, it was pretty wild when you were in the cage.
And he said, then I see the captain of the ship.
Speaker 2 As the cage is coming up, he's getting ready to dive. And I said, what do you, what do you, what are you doing? And he said, I'm going to go dive and just be with the sharks for a minute.
Speaker 2
Okay. What the hell's wrong with these people? All right.
Maybe it's all the blood is constantly, it can't get to their feet or anything.
Speaker 2 It's just all coagulated in their head because they're upside down. What is wrong with you people?
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2
he says, well, I'd like to go with you. And he said, oh, this is only for experienced divers.
And Anderson said, I'm an experienced diver. I, you you know, got all my license, everything else.
Speaker 2 And he's like, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 So come on, we can come with me.
Speaker 2 Now,
Speaker 2
Anderson didn't have any of those things. He's not an experienced diver.
This was his first time. He puts on everything and he goes off the back of the ship with the
Speaker 2 captain.
Speaker 2 Just before they do that, the captain says, By the way, they're going to come up to you and they're going to bump into you.
Speaker 2 Do not move
Speaker 2 because if you do,
Speaker 2 they'll eat you.
Speaker 2 And he said, I'm sorry, what?
Speaker 2
He said, don't move. They bump into things to see the reaction.
If you're just a floating, you know, bag of something they don't want to eat, it won't move. But if you move, they'll eat you.
Speaker 2
He said, okay, all right. Now this is, again, the time that I take off, you know, the eye mask and I'm like, okay, have a good time.
I'm staying here.
Speaker 2 He goes down and the sharks do just that. And he's, I'm sitting here, you know, listening to him.
Speaker 2 And he's like, oh, you wouldn't believe what it's like to have one of these great whites just come up and just bump you in the chest. And I'm like, nope, nope, I can't imagine that.
Speaker 2 I may not have moved, but there would have been poop in the water everywhere. Okay.
Speaker 2 So,
Speaker 2 how did I get here?
Speaker 2 So, I think what's happening is these are shark bumps. These are, I don't know, a
Speaker 2 country, multiple countries. I don't know.
Speaker 2 Can we collapse the navigational system on ships?
Speaker 2 Can we cover it up enough?
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 can we take control of ships and just let people in the upper end know,
Speaker 2
oh boy, look what they're doing. I think this is, that's what this looks like.
This looks like the opening act
Speaker 2 to a war, a different kind of war, but a war, one that we're not even allowed to call a war yet.
Speaker 2
And what chills me the most is the silence on this. The mainstream media didn't blink on this.
Government assures us, nothing to see here.
Speaker 2
Same experts that tell you, you know, that men can have babies are telling you it's just a coincidence. I'm sorry.
I don't. Can you show me exactly how this is happening so many times?
Speaker 2 Because maybe it is.
Speaker 2 But if that's true, maybe we should stop with that kind of navigation system on these ships.
Speaker 2 Maybe it's not ready for prime time.
Speaker 2 And why does it always seem to lose power and navigation right around an American bridge?
Speaker 2 Right around a naval ship, a U.S. naval ship, or
Speaker 2 two U.S. bridges.
Speaker 2 Why is that happening?
Speaker 2 Now, there's a shipping giant, I guess it's Maersk, M-A-E-R-S-K, right? Maersk?
Speaker 2 Shipping giant had its entire global system shut down by ransomware in 2017. Did you know that?
Speaker 2
The U.S. Navy has had ships colliding multiple times since 2016.
Again, what was blamed? Steering loss or loss of power.
Speaker 2 Ask the port of Los Angeles, which just last year was under daily cyber attack from foreign adversaries.
Speaker 2 You don't need a missile to hit us anymore. You need somebody with a keyboard and some bad code.
Speaker 2 And let me ask you this. What kind of war doesn't even need intent, just capability?
Speaker 2 Because when infrastructure is digitized, when our bridges, our tugboats, our radar systems, our engine controls all depend on centralized code, it doesn't take a villain in a cape.
Speaker 2 It takes a firmware update or a rogue packet of data from a USB stick.
Speaker 2
Remember, before 9-11, the intelligence community had over 40 separate warnings that something big was coming. They just didn't connect the dots.
Well, we have several dots here and
Speaker 2 they all seem to lead to the same thing, power
Speaker 2 or steering loss.
Speaker 2 Somebody should solve that if it's a software or a
Speaker 2
hardware problem. Solve that.
How come I'm not hearing about that?
Speaker 2 You can't just keep saying, yep, steering loss, and then we just accept it. No, this is national security.
Speaker 2 Is anybody
Speaker 2 serious about national security? Anybody?
Speaker 2 Now, I'm not saying this was an attack.
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2 this is exactly what it would look like if it was. This looks like a shark attack or a shark bump, except this time,
Speaker 2 the shark is seeing how you're going to move. By us not moving, it makes that foreign shark, or whoever might be doing it more apt to eat us.
Speaker 2 If we move and harden things, it makes them less apt to eat us. So in a shark bump with a real shark, you don't move.
Speaker 2 In this particular scenario, where it could be a foreign adversary giving us a shark bump, you must move. And I haven't...
Speaker 2 I haven't seen anything yet.
Speaker 2 We need cyber forensics on all of those boats, independent experts, not just the insurers or foreign governments, independent experts.
Speaker 2 We need an immediate national audit of our port, bridge, and maritime infrastructure vulnerabilities to electromagnetic or cyber interference.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 we need people to at least start investigating the possibility of hybrid sabotage.
Speaker 2 I believe we're being text tested.
Speaker 2 Are we going to do the same thing with the 40 things that happened before 9-11 and not connect the dots? Or are we going to go,
Speaker 2 you know, it might not be that, but
Speaker 2 we should be all over this.
Speaker 2 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 2
A couple of things. Is it more stormy here than usually at this time? It seems like it.
Global warming's affecting us all.
Speaker 2
Glenn. I know, I know, I know, I know that.
Last night I was
Speaker 2
sitting in a theater. My daughter was doing a final performance of something in this theater that she's been working with.
And
Speaker 2 I get a text.
Speaker 2
A massive storm is headed your way. I just put the map down.
You're the ex.
Speaker 2 Here's the giant storm with multiple funnels.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, well, I mean, I like funnel cake. Is that the same thing?
Speaker 2
And we were right in the path. And I'm sitting there and I show it to Tanya and she went, hmm, that's not good.
And I'm like, no,
Speaker 2 no, it's not good. What do we do?
Speaker 2
I'm not equipped to live in places where there's tornadoes. They're just, they freak me out a little bit.
Because they just, they can come down at any time and just suck you into the air.
Speaker 2 Yeah, it's, it's unlike, you know, like a hurricane hurricane you see coming for a while.
Speaker 2 Like a blizzard, you know, it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2
It's more like living in California. Earthquake is the other one.
Yeah. Earthquakes and mudslides, those things, those and tornadoes.
Tornadoes should be in California.
Speaker 2 Just all those really unpredictable things. Yeah.
Speaker 2 I mean, you get the great weather most of the time, and then you have to deal with one or two really weird things. Yeah, right.
Speaker 2
This is just weird. It's just weird.
I didn't know what to do. And it was, and luckily, I get another text like 15 minutes later.
And he's like, he writes to me, says that to me. And I'm like,
Speaker 2 what should we do?
Speaker 2 And then I get a text, this is where you should go
Speaker 2
in case it gets a little crazy. Rain should start in 15 minutes.
And so he's like, you know, go to the Sheraton Hotel, you know, two, you know, two blocks down.
Speaker 2 I'm like, oh, oh, oh, now, should I, when do we do that? When do we do that? And Tanya just said, shh, quiet. I'm like,
Speaker 2 and i keep looking behind me i could see the door you know and i could see out the door and and
Speaker 2 15 minutes later it starts to rain and i'm like okay okay all right i mean i know but i mean really
Speaker 2 i mean screw the kids we should get to a sheridan don't you think we should get there's got to be some shelter at the sheridan i mean she's not going to want to leave she's performing she's doing a great job Maybe we should go so there's something left of the family.
Speaker 2
That's right. Brave of you.
I'm sure you want to do that. Do whatever you want for the kids.
Just leave me alone. You know, leave me alone.
You can use selflessly
Speaker 2 to protect the family.
Speaker 2 We're going to
Speaker 2 leave the performance.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 honestly, it's a little like the continuation thing that they do at the State of the Union. I was the one to be the designated survivor.
Speaker 2 I volunteered. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2
I will skip the show and be the designated survivor. But nope.
Nope. Nope.
Wife wouldn't let me do it. We actually had someone in our extended show family
Speaker 2 have
Speaker 2 in the middle of one of these tornadoes, like that a giant tree fell through their house. Who?
Speaker 2 Last night? Yeah, from this recent batch of storms. I don't know that they wanted it necessarily discussed on national radio with
Speaker 2 them and the tree.
Speaker 2 I don't think any of them.
Speaker 2 Why wouldn't they talk about it? If they're not doing anything wrong, why wouldn't they talk about it? Well, I mean, I just have not confirmed that they want it talked about. But I will say that,
Speaker 2 you know, it's just shocking when you hear that, it's like someone you know.
Speaker 2 what's so weird is if you've ever seen where a tornado goes through it will like skip houses it doesn't take out usually it doesn't take out the whole neighborhood it'll take out like part of your house all of your neighbor's house three doors down it's all fine then across the street a house is completely gone i mean it's just weird so random weird we had a tornado that hit here um in dallas last year and it was going
Speaker 2
it was like close to like where my kids go to school. And I'm like, I know they're at school.
And I'm like looking at this thing, and I just, you just feel so helpless.
Speaker 2
You're just looking at this, the trail of it is going like directly near where someone you love is. Yeah.
And not to mention, it was right after school started.
Speaker 2 So I knew my wife had just dropped them off where she had the like, yeah, but is she at school? Is she on the way back? Is she driving through the path of it right now? You have no freaking idea.
Speaker 2
I know. And it's so devastating if it, if it happens to drop right on you.
I mean, it's over. He said, this, this guy who called me, he's one of the protection team.
Speaker 2 So he's texting me and I said, well,
Speaker 2
where would we go? And he said, whatever you do, just drive north. And I'm like, dude, I don't know which direction is north.
What are you talking about? It's the night
Speaker 2 talking to.
Speaker 2
Yeah, just drive north. Oh, okay.
I'll look at the stars, which I can't even see or read.
Speaker 2 Jeez,
Speaker 2 we act as if we have abilities and skills outside of this room.
Speaker 2
No abilities. None.
None. We're the first to be eaten.
Now, let me ask you one other thing. My other daughter, she's having a birthday today.
She's 34. Wow.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 I just sent her
Speaker 2 a note, a text, just happy birthday, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, you know, as a
Speaker 2
joke, because I don't know what it means, I sent her the salsa dancer. Because everybody else is a family.
Yeah, this is a family text and everybody is sending all these emojis.
Speaker 2 And I don't know what any of them mean, but I always like the salsa dancer because I really don't know what that one means. I'm like, what are we going dancing? I don't know.
Speaker 2
I don't know what it means. And there's a male and a female salsa dancer.
I only sent her the male salsa dancer.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 after I hit send, I realized, you know, the eggplant and the peach
Speaker 2 are not representing fruits and vegetables, you know?
Speaker 2 What did you just send? What did I just send my daughter? Do you know what the salsa does?
Speaker 2
I've never in my, I think in my entire life sent an emoji. Good for you.
I don't think I've ever sent one. Good for you.
So I don't know what any of them mean, although I've seen
Speaker 2
the peach and the eggplant described. Yeah, okay.
Sarah, please tell me I didn't send something weird.
Speaker 3 As a parent, you don't just go swinging emojis and text messages.
Speaker 2
That was step one. That's right.
You don't go like
Speaker 2 the emoji slot machine is not a game you should should be playing.
Speaker 3 Definitely not. But I did look it up, and it came up with the female, and it says she represents fun, freedom, zest for life, and a positive affirmation like, great.
Speaker 2 Okay, what is the male?
Speaker 3 I don't know, but
Speaker 2 sex with children.
Speaker 2
Probably. Probably.
Probably, yeah. My luck.
Yes. Yes.
What is the male salsa dancer? I'm very concerned about this now because I didn't realize that you said the, you'd think you'd send the female.
Speaker 2 Why would you say the male salsa dancer? Because I was the salsa dancer. I was like, ah, celebrate.
Speaker 3 Well, it says it symbolizes dancing, celebration, having a good time, and expressing joy or excitement.
Speaker 3 Also, keep away from children.
Speaker 2 So your plan here was to say, ah, celebrate.
Speaker 2
I'm the salsa dancer. I'm telling you to celebrate right now.
That was your
Speaker 2 celebrate.
Speaker 2
I like it. I think you should every day pick a new emoji to send to one of your children.
And let's see how long it goes until it blows up into a national scandal.
Speaker 2
I don't think we get through two weeks. Oh, it's not good.
It's not. You don't never send random emojis to your children.
Because you never know
Speaker 2 what could come down.
Speaker 2
That could be really ugly. I'm glad you survived that one, though.
Thank you. Do you think she
Speaker 2 thought
Speaker 2 you were sending a message that you understood? So, well, no, because
Speaker 2
here's what I wrote. Because at first, I really actually did send the salsa dancer because I don't know what it means.
It kind of seems funny.
Speaker 2
Happy birthday, Hannah. Salsa dancer.
I don't know what the salsa dancer means, but salsa seems like the right message today.
Speaker 2 Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 Spicy fun.
Speaker 2
Spicy fun. Well, not spicy in that way.
No, not that. No, definitely not.
It is a spicy condiment, though. Yes.
Speaker 2 Let's choose another word.
Speaker 2
I'm not the one that said it, weirdo. Okay.
All right.
Speaker 2 Let me play.
Speaker 2 Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister from England.
Speaker 2
A normal transition here, by the way. Salsa dancer emoji to Keir Starmer.
What show are you even listening to? I'm angry at the listeners for tuning in at this point.
Speaker 2
It's all the people. I mean, and you know this.
If you're listening, you're going to say to me, preach it, brother. But
Speaker 2 it's all the people who have just given up on life. They've just been like,
Speaker 2 there's no way to solve any of these things.
Speaker 2
20 minutes ago, I sent a salsa dancer to my kid. It's over anyway.
Let's turn on the Coinback program. All right.
So, Keir Starmer,
Speaker 2 he comes out and he's talking about
Speaker 2 the immigration system permits abuse. Listen to this.
Speaker 4 So when you have an immigration system that seems almost designed to permit abuse,
Speaker 4 that encourages some businesses to bring in lower-paid workers rather than invest in our young people,
Speaker 4 or simply one that is sold by politicians to the British people on an entirely false premise,
Speaker 4 then you're not championing growth. You're not championing justice or however else people defend the status quo.
Speaker 4 You're actually contributing to the forces that are slowly pulling our country apart.
Speaker 2 This is the socialist.
Speaker 2
This is the socialist. Let me just say it again.
This is the socialist prime minister.
Speaker 2 He goes on to say that this is what the average person has been asking for. Now,
Speaker 2 I don't know British politics at all, but if this were a Democrat here saying this and like the leader of, you know, the people who have been pulling us apart with the immigration stuff, I wouldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 But that's the first time I think he said anything like that. And he's like, we're going to, we're going to, we're changing things because this can't stand anymore.
Speaker 2 Because, you know, the people who are English are not getting jobs.
Speaker 2 And it's all of these these
Speaker 2 people who are not assimilating into society and he said and they're about to go into a fifth year and in five years you can become a citizen if you've been there for five years and he said we're gonna make that 10 years
Speaker 2 so okay
Speaker 2 now what are you gonna do in nine years You're gonna change it again to 15 years? I mean, because what he said was, because once they're citizens, they can go on the dole.
Speaker 2
You're giving them everything. You're giving them houses and food and everything else.
What do you mean, on the dole?
Speaker 2 It gets better than that?
Speaker 2 What were you saying earlier about empires collapsing? Wasn't there a
Speaker 2 I think it was a step that describes this exact process. Salsa dancer.
Speaker 2 What's crazy about this is this shows
Speaker 2 how
Speaker 2 dead
Speaker 2 this
Speaker 2 global movement really is.
Speaker 2 Now, I'm not saying he's going to do anything, but he's at least now having to recognize and speak the language of his citizens, whether he does anything or not.
Speaker 2 You know, they were just last week they were trying to, you know, hey, how can we put How can we undo Brexit?
Speaker 2 You know, I don't trust these guys at all,
Speaker 2 but at least somebody is speaking the voice of the streets, at least at this level.
Speaker 2 Now, if you're a politician, especially one from the EU or Great Britain, you most likely are, yeah, well,
Speaker 2 I can say that, but I don't have to mean it or do anything. But that is eventually going to come undone
Speaker 2 as well. And it's going to happen soon, sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2 Just thought it was worth pointing out.
Speaker 2 Minute Made Zero Sugar tastes so amazing, you've just got to say great taste and zero sugar, and Minute Made Zero Sugar sells itself.
Speaker 2 Great
Speaker 2 taste. Zero Sugar sells itself.
