God Help the Replacement Host for Tucker Carlson | Guests: Rick Burgess & Floyd Brown | 4/28/23

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia made to travel.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Rough Greens.

We all owe it to our dogs to do our best to make sure that they're happy and healthy throughout their life.

I saw a dog today

that I think my wife sent me.

It is a,

what do you call it?

Is it

Maladuke?

Maladuke?

Marmaduke?

Marmaduke was a cartoon.

Yeah, so I think it's a maladu.

It's one of the dogs that used to pull the sleds in Alaska and probably still do.

and they've been breeding them to be bigger.

It was up to this woman's shoulders.

It was like, are you, what?

I mean, you're going to need a truck just to clear the front yard of the.

Anyway.

Rough greens, take care of your dog.

I can't imagine how much rough greens you would need for that dog.

Roughgreens, are you ffgreens.com slash back?

It's roughgreens.com slash back or call 833-Glenn33.

You're going to get your first bag free.

Then start feeding your dog if they eat it and love it as much as Uno does.

And then watch the differences in your dog.

833-Glenn33, roughgreens.com/slash back.

We gotta stand together in the course of

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Back Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

It is Fight Back Friday.

We've got some great news for you.

We begin in 60 seconds.

I don't ever recommend things that I don't believe in.

If I don't use them or if I don't know somebody who uses them, I will not recommend them.

When I tell you I believe in

Relief Factor, you probably know the story.

It is something that I didn't endorse and they were running commercials for a very long time and I didn't use the product and they wanted me to voice for it and I said I'm not gonna tell people to ingest stuff into their body that I don't know about and I don't believe in and I never thought this stuff would work quite honestly my wife when I was whining she was like why don't you at least try Relief Factor just try it she's the one that brought it up So I tried it because you wouldn't listen to me whine anymore unless I tried everything and I tried it for three weeks.

Now I'm doing commercials for them because it worked worked for me.

Will it work for you?

I don't know.

You got about a 70% chance of it working.

It's worth the $19.95, the three-week quick start, just to find out if it works.

800 for relief.

1-800 for relief.

Get your life back.

Get out of pain.

1-800, the number 4-relief or relieffactor.com.

Feel the difference.

Hello, Stu.

How are you?

Very well, Glenn.

Yes.

Yes.

Very well.

Very well.

Very well, indeed.

Did

Did you see that Joe Biden

couldn't remember where he was just a couple of weeks ago or a week ago?

Can you remember where you were two weeks ago?

Well, if I were

Ireland, maybe.

Could you please play Cut 17 for me?

It's a long time ago.

It's a whole week.

Yeah, Stu.

It's too much week.

The last country I've traveled, I'm drinking once with the last one I was in I've been to 89 I met with 89 heads of state so far yeah so I'm trying to think what was the last where was the last place I was it's hard to keep track listen

I was

I mean yeah you're right Ireland okay that's where it was like a three-year-old remember it's Ireland a three-year-old

and then he gets all creepy that's right little girl how do you know that

Because I was watching you through your windows at night.

Creepy old man.

I mean, it's weird.

Really weird.

Really weird.

Again, if it was six months ago,

I mean, maybe.

It was last week.

Last week.

Last week.

I can't remember the last time.

It's like me saying, I can't remember the last time I went potty.

I don't know, probably a couple hours ago.

Jeez.

And where, when did I go potty last?

Well, you just did in your pants.

Did you see the comment from Jen Saki?

There's an article, I think it was an Axios, about Biden's age, and they were talking about, you know, how some people have noticed that he's 43,000 years old.

And they, Jen Sake, who is his press secretary, they highlighted comments

that she had about, what was it?

It was, I think, the banking crisis.

Like, you know, this was a big announcement from Joe Biden because he did it at 9.15.

And you're like, wait,

9.15 a.m.?

Like, that's notable.

And then she said something like, I should get the exact quote, but it was something like, yeah, he never does anything before 9.

This is the person who's on his side, now an MSNBC host, but his former press secretary said.

But they often say he's done with the business of the day by 9.30.

Yeah, he had a 9.03 lid the other day, and he doesn't do anything before 9.

That only gives him three minutes.

But three minutes is an awful lot of time if you're the president of the United States.

I think it's too much time for him.

I think he should do less.

Because when he works, things get worse.

You know, you may be absolutely right on that.

But

listen, he has experience because he's so old.

He has experience.

If the dinosaurs ever come back,

he'll remember maybe how they were fought

and maybe he'll save us.

So a Jurassic Park situation plays out.

And they are making woolly mammoths.

They're making woolly mammoths.

They're remaking.

Can someone please watch a movie from time to time?

We're doing all the things every day that we've all seen in huge movies.

We're like, oh, wow, we'd never do that.

We're doing it.

We are doing all the, especially the AI stuff.

We're just like, screw it.

You know what?

What are the odds?

What are the odds?

Let's just try all these things and see what happens.

What are the odds we make one minor mistake?

Very low, right?

Let's take some of that woolly mammoth DA, mix it with some frog DNA.

Put it in an elephant.

See what happens.

And let's try.

On top of that, let's try some gain of function research.

Let's see what happens.

See, let's give that a whirl.

You know what?

It didn't work out in China.

We should do it in Wisconsin.

Whoops.

Yeah.

Did you hear about that?

Oh, they're trying to do it in Wisconsin now.

No, no, no.

There was a lab leak in Wisconsin.

Oh, gosh.

Okay.

But they said, and they never reported it.

And they were like, well, nobody got sick.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You should report that right away.

We're like,

all right, Bill,

I guess if weeping, oping, bloody sores open up, give me a call.

We'll let everybody know.

What are we doing?

That's incredible that they, like, we keep talking about this as if it's some past phenomenon.

Like, hey, they did that in, you know, in China.

It's still happening.

There's been nothing that's stopped it.

The only thing that's happened is we're focusing on it more.

So maybe there's a lesser chance that we directly fund it.

Outside of that.

No, no, no, no, no.

Directly.

I think the word directory is key.

We weren't directly funding it last time.

Right.

I just think there's less of a chance that we would do it now.

I think you'd stay the indirect route.

Okay, good.

All right.

I'm not expecting that.

Well, I feel expectations.

I feel much, much better.

I don't know if anybody saw this.

It's in our show prep today.

If you get our show prep at glenbeck.com, you'll get all of the news that you need to know.

And I'm kind of bypassing a lot of the news because it's Friday.

all right?

You know, the world's on fire.

Why do I have to tell you?

Honestly, if you're not prepared at this point,

what use, what use is me saying, hey, by the way, have you seen the dollar crashed even more?

No, there's no real reason for that.

Just enjoy your way into insanity.

For those who are prepared, let me tell you what they found with Deep Space.

Now, listen to this.

Before I read this sentence,

can we just stop writing things

in the news

and pretending that

everyone knows?

You know how, like, you know how like when they were like,

I can't think of any of the terms, but all those terms, those woke terms that came out were like, what the hell is that word?

And everybody was writing it in their news articles and you're like, I don't even know what that means.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, when they introduce new language like that, that's often the way it plays out.

Correct.

And things like,

oh, we're, we're, you know, we're teaching in third grade now that your little girl can be a boy.

And we're telling them that.

And we're showing them what to do with all kinds of vegetables and their private parts.

And you're like, wait.

You mean gender affirming care?

Yes.

Right.

Sorry, sorry.

Yes.

And you're like, wait, am I the only one that didn't know this?

No, no one knows it except the experts.

And they all pretend like, oh, this has been going on for a long time.

So let me read this sentence.

Thousands of deep space radio signals have made their way to Earth.

50 of them are repeating sources.

Wait,

hold it.

What?

Isn't that one of those things that we're looking for?

You know, those little space anomalies like help.

And you're like, oh, it's probably not.

I think I heard help, but listen again.

Anybody else calling for help?

Nope.

Okay.

So that was just...

That was a weird thing that sounded like somebody was crying for help.

Okay.

We got that all the time.

Repeating help.

Did you just hear somebody call help?

Help.

Yeah, I heard it again.

Help.

Okay.

When it repeats, that's something we should probably know about it.

Recently detected were 25 new repeating sources, known technically as fast radio bursts, from the depths of the universe.

The project uses high-power radio telescope in British Columbia to...

Oh, this is a Canadian study.

Oh, forget it.

Never mind.

All right.

And Tucker Carl's.

Wow, you just took the entire country?

You just blew off there?

Well, have you seen what's going on in Canada?

They did elect Trudeau.

Yeah, so

I'm not really sure if we can take that.

Let me tell you about Tucker Carlson's

video.

Have you seen

this morning, he released it, what, yesterday or night before last?

72 million views.

72

million views.

I think that's a little higher than the ratings he had at Fox.

72 million.

Now, that should give you great hope

because that's not just the conservatives spreading that one around.

That tells you an awful lot.

When you couple 72 million views with what were the ratings

night before last there, Steve.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but they had had dropped to the lowest level since

9-11.

I'm sorry, what?

No.

You mean this last September 11th?

No.

No, 9-11, 2001.

Wow.

Yeah, we're going back to almost the 90s.

They have not had ratings that low

since before 9-11.

Yes, Glenn, and this will hit maybe not many people in the audience, but will hit you.

The ratings on Fox News channel

in the 8 p.m.

time slot

were lower

than our ratings at CNN Headline News.

Now, there was, and only people that watched that were people who were trapped in an airport.

They were trapped.

They're like,

I guess I watched his show.

It didn't have the sound on, so I really enjoyed it.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Jaw dropping.

What was the number?

It was in the 130s, I think, in the demo, which is, again, what they actually care about.

In a country of 350 million people,

130,000

140,000 people between the ages of 25 and 54 were watching Fox News.

That's not good.

Yeah, and I don't know who hosted it.

I know the first night was Brian Kilmead.

This is not Brian Kilmead, anti-Brian Kilmead sentiment.

They like Brian.

They feel real.

They watch Bad Marshall.

They watch

Brian, when they called him up on Friday morning, said, Hey, you're going to

fill in for Tucker Carlson tonight.

He must have gone, oh, good God, no, not me.

Why am I the one?

Are you just testing out the guillotine?

That's all you're doing.

No problem.

It's an impossible spot for Brian.

Not his fault at all.

It's bad for him.

But it is an amazing thing here.

People are telling Fox News, hey, this is not okay.

I have something else on that.

People saying, This is not okay.

And I think people getting the message.

Somebody called in yesterday.

Her name is Allison.

And

she wanted to tell me after hearing one of the commercials for Pre-Born,

she wanted to tell me about her experience.

And so I asked her to come on today.

Allison, are you there?

Yes, I am.

How are you?

I'm good.

Thank you.

How are you?

Very good.

good.

Now, you're in Georgia?

Yes, I am.

And

tell me your story.

Okay, here it goes.

First of all, I just want to praise you for

supporting this company and what they're doing.

And here's why.

When I was 16 years old,

I

had an abortion.

Never told anyone this.

Yeah.

And I was young and stupid, you know, and didn't know how the world works.

And I went to this clinic.

And, of course, you pay with cash.

And I did want to talk to somebody, you know, because I was, you know, terrified.

Did not need my mother's consent, by the way, or my parents' consent.

And I was told, you know, I asked them, well, you know, what what exactly is happening?

You know, is

I mean,

how far along, you know, am I?

I was right at 10 weeks.

And

I said, well, you know, is the baby, you know, is it formed?

And they said, oh, no,

it's just a clump of cells, you know.

I said, would you be able to tell what sex it is?

They said, oh, no, no, there's, you know, nothing,

you know, there's no baby.

It's just a clump of cells.

Oh, my gosh.

So with that information,

you know, it's almost like I was looking for a reason not to do it.

Somebody taught me out of this.

And so I went through with it, and I have lived to regret it every day of my life.

And now I'm 61 years old.

I beg God for forgiveness every day of my life for taking my child's life.

I know it is one of the deadly sins.

And if other women hear my story and you're in the same situation, I challenge you to support this program

and pay the $28 or whatever it is to, you know, it might save, it will save a child because if I had heard that heartbeat, there's no way I would have gone through with it because I would have known that this is a live being in me.

It would have made it real.

And that's what these girls need to hear.

And when they talk about you have a choice, you know, I'm all for having a choice.

Your choice is not to have unprotected sex.

That's the choice you make.

And whatever you do after that, you have to live with the consequences.

And believe me, I have lived with the consequences.

Thankfully, God blessed me with two beautiful children and five beautiful grandchildren.

And I'm so blessed.

but

I cry for my unborn child.

Allison, I can't thank you enough for having the guts to share that, especially the first time with anybody.

Thank you for sharing that.

And I know God, and I know God has nothing but love for you and your child.

And

let it go.

Let it go.

Thank you so much for calling in.

Listen, Preborn is our sponsor this half hour.

They are rescuing babies by providing ultrasounds.

And $15,000 buys a new ultram machine.

If you have the money, Tanya and I have purchased, I think, a couple of them.

And if you have the money, please join us in this.

I don't think there's anything that we could do that would be better.

It saves not only the baby, but it saves the mother as well.

Dial pound250, say the key word baby for 28 bucks.

That pays for an ultrasound.

28 bucks.

And the mom has a great chance of changing her mind.

10 seconds, station ID.

Kind of lost my track of thought here.

What were we talking about right before that?

That's an incredible phone call.

Yeah, we were talking about Fox News's ratings here, post.

And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

It is about

Bud Light.

Have you heard what's happening with Budweiser?

Budweiser had to have a meeting with their 400 distributors, and apparently they all left a little even more pissed off than they were when they got there.

Really?

Yeah, they said they never apologized.

They never said, hey, we understand all the lost business that you've had to deal with, et cetera, et cetera.

And they said,

you know, Bush didn't come up with it, they just said, we're going to spend a lot more money on what?

Doing what?

How are you going to get all of these people back?

The reason why I wanted to share this is

this is the key to places like Coca-Cola.

Anyone who has local distributors and bottlers, when it's locally produced, you hit the local guys and they most likely agree with you.

And they're the ones that got Budweiser's attention.

It's not just the loss of business.

It's the fact that they had a loss of business and the local people were the ones standing up going, what the hell are you doing?

You're driving us out of business.

Why should we bottle and distribute you?

That's the key to these things.

And

just saying, you know, I don't think it's enough that you take these people who, you know,

this

woman that was, you know,

in charge of this campaign, she has been put on a leave of absence, but she called Bud Light a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it needed something for young drinkers.

Really?

Okay, well, just flush

years and years and decades of credibility right down the toilet to grab what?

How many people agreed with that?

What are you nuts?

I don't think, I mean, well, anyway.

All you need to know is, congratulations, another win.

And And if you want to hit people like Coca-Cola or things like that, you go for the distributors and the bottlers.

The Glenn Beck Program.

A lot of good things going on in Florida these days.

One of them is Let Us Do Good Village.

Let Us Do Good Village.

It's in Land of Lakes.

It is the first of planned series of communities of about 100 homes set up by the Tunnell to Towers Foundation for Gold Star families.

The first family to move in were the Thorntons, Danielle and her children, Jalen and Kinsley.

Their dad, her husband Robert,

the father of the family, was killed.

And when that happened and he was in the line of duty, he was given a mortgage-free home there.

It's the Let Us Do Good village.

Gold Star families and their families of fallen first responders, as well as families of those who are catastrophically injured.

They're all neighbors.

The kids grow up with each other.

They can relate to each other.

There's so many good things that come out of this.

If you really

are looking for something to help, Tunnel to Towers at tthenumber2t.org does so much good.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I'm just learning all kinds of new stuff from Pat Gray, from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Pat, you had a...

You got an expert on today.

Yeah, I do.

About the moon landing.

Well, he exposes the hoax, yes.

Okay.

The moon landing.

Right.

You say that with air quotes.

I do.

Yeah, I do.

Wow.

You can't have someone on about the moon landing because there was no

moon landing.

Right.

Sure, we all know that.

It's like, fly me to the moon.

Yeah, right.

We can't.

Okay.

Because it's never happened and it never will.

Okay.

All right.

So what?

So is that because of the flat earth?

Then we can't.

I talked to Bart Sabril about this, and he's not a flat Earth guy.

Okay.

He just claims we haven't gone to the moon.

And one of his things is it's never happened in the history of the world where technology has gone backwards after 50 years.

Because, okay, 54 years ago, we went to the moon, haven't been able to do it since.

We're now supposedly, supposedly trying to get back there, but we can't because because the technology still doesn't exist.

That's not true.

None of that is true.

Oh, yeah.

NASA destroyed all of the technological gains they made.

Okay, well, how do you

explain many of the pieces of the

NASA Apollo program that I have just across the brickyard here at the

what?

Yeah.

We what.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm on Pat's side, man.

Okay.

Okay.

After that, that's because

you appreciate logic.

Yes, Stu.

Okay, so they just made up stuff.

And it's not true that we can't get to the moon the way we used to.

I just don't think it's like it's like saying,

you know, we can't go to grandma's house like we used to.

Did a horse and buggy.

Because we're not building

horse and buggies or Model Ts.

No,

we're building new things, and sometimes those new things don't work right away, especially if they're all one-offs.

What we're doing is

Starship is much more powerful

than the Saturn V rocket.

Look how many times that's exploded.

Yeah, just exploded.

They can't even get it.

Just did it again, right?

It was the biggest most.

Do you know how hard it is?

That's his point.

It's too hard.

It's not too hard.

He's done it.

How do you explain?

I've stood at the launch pads.

You know, a mile away from the launch pad.

Otherwise, I would have been burned up.

But I stood at the launch pad.

I watched the space shuttles go.

So they're saying they kept you a mile away of this thing they were supposedly doing.

And he's not denying the space shuttle.

We can orbit the Earth.

You just can't go to the Sun, the Moon.

Well, we can't go to the Sun.

So

another one of the problems is that there's that Van Ellen radiation belt, which you can't get through or you'd die.

And

that's one of the main reasons, of course, because you got to go through the radiation belt and it would kill you.

That I don't know about the radiation belt.

Yeah, there's a radiation belt.

But NASA says we go through it so fast,

it doesn't really affect people.

If you lingered there, it would do you some harm.

In other words, x-rays can't be used because we die from the radiation of an x-ray.

And NASA is like, no, we just expose you to it quickly.

Quickly.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, that seems like a logical response to that.

It kind of does.

Yeah.

But he says it's not.

He cites a man who says, no, it's not possible to go through the.

And I said, that's one guy.

What are you working for NASA?

How much are they paying you?

Yeah, I'm working for NASA.

And people don't realize that.

You are, in fact, working for NASA.

I'm one of your main sponsors.

Which only exists to remind people of how great mathematics were back in ancient times with the Muslims.

What is the actual ⁇ I mean, if you were to boil down the reason we haven't been back to the moon, it's kind of just that we didn't think it's really worth it, right?

We thought we had better priorities up there.

That's what we've been spending our money on.

Social pressure, right?

After, what, 72, when the last Apollo, I think it was 17, went up,

they were getting so much flack from people.

We've got our own problems here.

What about poverty poverty and war right here?

What about

so?

They pressured them out of doing

you couldn't.

I remember growing up, I saw one of the last moon landings

live because I was too young to remember the first one.

And I remember watching in school, seeing one of the moon landings and seeing him walk around.

You're like,

Yeah, you know, I mean, it was just, it was so comic

then.

It is exactly what happened with Starship.

That is a miracle, what they've just done.

That's all brand new technology.

They're not taking that from the Saturn V rocket.

This is all brand new technology.

They launched something the largest ever.

They launched it, and everybody was like, what happened?

Yeah, no, it's true.

Oh,

they launched a big rocket.

Okay.

They have no idea.

And I think, I honestly think Elon Musk has brought back that fascination among a whole generation of people.

When I grew up, the thing I remember about the space program was being in school watching the Challenger explode.

Like, that's my memory of the space thing.

So never was I interested really.

It was never one of those things that lit up my imagination.

I do think there's a younger generation now that sees the Elon Musk stuff and is,

I mean,

you look at the internet.

I mean, they do go crazy about it.

I mean, there are a lot of people who now care, but I think most people who are from other generations are just like, eh, you know, we've seen

it done that.

I think it's really funny because I was thinking about it today.

I think Elon Musk is,

and I don't want to give him this label because I hate this guy so much, but he is, he's kind of the Edison, more the Tesla.

But Edison was much more of a showman.

And when he lit up Menlo Park and

the streets, the world changed.

Now,

you know, you get an iPhone and it does something spectacular.

You're like, huh,

the world doesn't change.

Even though the world changes, nobody notices.

And I think he's doing all of these amazing things.

He's much more like Tesla involved in just game-changing.

absolutely everything and he's actually responsible for it.

But I think the only time that he will be really recognized, I was thinking today,

I think the world will stop and watch

when we land a man on Mars.

I think that's the thing that has to happen.

We'll go up on the moon.

The first time it happens, people will be really interested.

And then they'll be like, okay, big deal.

We put a man on Mars.

Yeah.

Okay.

He comes and goes fast.

Well, I mean, this is the problem with capitalism.

And it really is.

It works so well, And it works kind of like as an operating system in the background.

Like it's an amazing thing for you to click a little

light on a phone that does all these incredible things that an app could do.

And it's running on an operating system that you never think about.

And that's what capitalism does this.

The operating system of capitalism is constantly improving your life and you never notice it.

Yes.

You know, billions of people get removed from poverty.

Think about like live aid back in the day.

We are the world, right?

Remember what a big deal that was?

All the, all the like Michael Jackson and Newton Bono and everybody, they're all singing these songs and they're trying to raise money.

Like

that, that

was nothing compared to like a couple of just years of general capitalist development, which has ripped billions of people out of poverty and no one ever reports on it.

No one cares.

No one notices.

It just happens.

All of our lives get better in the background.

We never notice it.

And we always notice the things that get worse in the foreground.

But that's why we're having the problem we're having now.

We're having a problem in America because we're like, this sucks.

What part of your life sucks right now?

I mean, you might be unhappy.

You may not have the riches or the fame or the education or whatever.

But let me take you back just to 1940.

You want to see sucks?

Let me take you there, let alone 1701.

Yeah, someone noted that deodorant wasn't in wide use until the 50s.

So think about the 40s for a second.

I mean, that's the smell of the 40s must have been.

It's still banned in France, I believe.

Yes.

Judging by the smell, when you're there, it must be banned.

Is there a time that you would rather live in?

I mean, I don't think so.

No, I mean, look, there are a lot of problems, and of course, we talk about that stuff all the time.

And it's important to talk about it.

I'm not demeaning that, but we don't notice

how much things have improved.

There were so many problems at every stage of man,

but not this many man-made miracles.

Yeah.

And some of those, many of those miracles, in fact, came from the space program.

Came from our effort to get to the moon.

You know, cell phone technology, satellite, GPS, and so many more.

They needed those.

They had to overcome all those challenges.

Those production companies like Paramount and MGM

needed all those things to be right to get their special effects down so well.

That is

weird.

You know, it's illegal for an American citizen to own a spacesuit.

It's illegal?

What do you mean?

It's illegal.

I've been trying to get a spacesuit.

Yeah, you've been telling us about it.

And my efforts have only yielded

a

refuelers suit from Apollo 11, and it looks like a spacesuit.

Oh, I bet that's kind of cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you can't get the actual space suit.

You can't get the actual spacesuit.

Americans are not allowed to own.

I can buy a Russian spacesuit.

I don't want a Russian spacesuit.

Why can't you have one?

Don't know.

I don't know.

Maybe you should have from this morning.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Maybe

it says because the label says paramount prop in costume.

All right.

Thank you very much, Pat.

Can people listen to this interview back, Pat, on your podcast?

They can.

Indeed.

Yeah.

You could go to, you know, YouTube.com slash Pat Gray.

Is he a good sport about it?

Doesn't sound like that.

He got a little irritated with me, but yeah, he was okay.

He was okay about it.

I mean, I don't, you know, you believe what you want, dude, but I mean,

there's a lot

of evidence.

But if you have him on, and I think you should because he's fun, he'll show you a lot of evidence that we didn't do it.

Oh, I'd love to see that.

I'd love to see that.

Now,

I've met several astronauts.

Have you?

Yes, I have.

Wow.

Maybe no, you haven't.

So maybe the answer is no, you haven't.

Okay.

All right.

Oh, by the way, this is the same guy that got hit in the face by Buzz Aldrin

years ago.

What is that?

2017 or sometime.

Do you remember that?

Bring up the time I had dinner with Buzz Aldrin.

Make note: leave Buzz Aldrin out of the conversation.

Sometimes the value of a product or service relies heavily on the values of the company that's producing that product or service.

We were just talking about this with Bud Light.

Budweiser, is that a woke company that's fully in and they're like, yeah.

Right.

Or is that a company that doesn't get it?

Or is that a company that was like, we got to do it?

Yeah, or the one that is essentially just reading the room incorrectly.

They thought this would be good for money.

They bring in, hey, a new demographic, whatever, and not realizing there'd be a big pushback.

Yeah.

The way to avoid all of that stuff that happened with Bud Light is

not go there,

not hate

half the country.

That's an idea.

Patriot Mobile is a company that is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

They feel that they need to do a good job, better than the other guys,

cheaper, less expensive than the other guys,

and work for positive things.

Stand for the things that used to unite us, and that's the Bill of Rights.

If you are on one of the three major networks, you are paying too much, you are putting money into their socialist causes, what you need to do is switch to Patriot Mobile.

Do it today.

They'll make it really easy and free.

Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Virginia has a chief diversity officer who took the stage Friday at the Virginia Military Institute.

And they are currently having a very tense debate about all the things that are so important.

And he took to the stage and said, let's take a moment right now just to kill that cow of DEI.

DEI is dead.

We're not going to bring that cow up anymore.

It's dead.

It was mandated by the General Assembly, but this governor has a different philosophy of civil discourse, civility, and treating people living with the golden rule.

Apparently, they were very, very upset, didn't think that was very exclusive.

And

apparently in his talk, he kicked it off with a prayer to Jesus, this is from the Washington Post, and laced with mentions of our Creator and God, which angered many of the people who attended.

Mentions?

Mentioned him.

The creator.

God.

Wow.

Yeah.

A fully loaded mention?

An assault mention?

It was.

It was an assault mention.

Thank you for bringing that up, Stu.

So, you know, they got a little pushback there, but congratulations to the diversity officer.

Can we stop with the diversity officer?

We've always been diverse.

We are the most diverse population ever assembled in one country.

Do you know that?

By far, by far.

Well, Sweden works really well.

Yeah, really?

It does?

Because it's like three families of Vikings.

They're all related to each other.

They're all white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed people.

It's pretty easy to bring them together.

This country, people come from all walks of life, all cultures.

And look how well we have gotten along.

And we are broadcasting from the most diverse city in the United States, which is Irving, Texas.

It's about like 25% of four different categories, almost exactly broken up.

And you realize that when people aren't

insane,

the society runs completely fine.

Yep.

Having different colors and different cultures, there are different cultures around here.

There's lots of different restaurants.

There's lots of different stores and it serves a bunch of different communities.

And you know what?

Everyone kind of just picks what they want and they go on with their lives.

And it's, you know, we don't need diversity officers on every corner to point out.

It's okay for you to go.

You can't go in that store and you can go in this one.

A lot of people that work here think that

I bought these studios because they were the old Paramount studios.

No.

They are close to some of the best Korean barbecue food you've ever had.

That's the only reason.

That's the only reason we live here.

And now I understand your real estate investing philosophy a little bit better.

How far are you away from Korean barbecues?

Oh, that's too far.

No, no.

Yeah,

yeah, you know, those people who believe in free speech.

What whack jobs they are, huh?

Floyd Brown joins us in 60 seconds.

All right, let's say you got something to prove.

You want the world to know just how tough you are.

Well, my pillows, Giza Dream Sheets are probably not for you.

Okay?

I just did a podcast, comes out tomorrow with Tim Kennedy.

I don't know.

I think the guy could sleep on sandpaper and be happy.

But I

am not one of those people.

No, I don't like to sprinkle rocks or, well, sometimes there's, you know, crumbs of Oreo cookies that are on my bed and it kind of feels like rocks because my skin is so sensitive.

Floyd, my man, how are you, sir?

I'm great.

Good to be with you.

Yeah, good to be with you.

So

we are at a time now where

I think this is the, you know, right Reagan said it, now is the time for choosing.

This is the time where you have to decide.

what side you're on.

And I think there are many strange bedfellows that can be made at this point

because people are standing up from all walks of life.

Do you agree with that?

Oh, absolutely.

That's why I actually,

my book is called Counterpunch, but the subtitle is an unlikely alliance of Americans fighting back for faith and freedom.

And I think you are absolutely correct.

America is at an inflection point, and we've been under such a barrage of what I call false narratives for so long now.

And I mean, you deal with all of these false narratives from climate change is caused by man to Trump was a Russian spy, Biden laptop was Russian propaganda.

I mean, we get all these false narratives, and false narratives, their purpose is to make people feel alone.

isolated and like they can't do anything.

Correct.

And so, you know,

I travel the country and speak at conferences and I kept hearing from everyone, what can I do?

What can I do?

What can I do?

So I thought I would put together a book that explained to them that they have the most power

right around them.

It's a lesson that I learned a long time ago.

We underestimate the power that we have to influence the people that are right around us.

You know, local action can have national impact.

And so it's really a time for people to get engaged.

It's time for people to start building community again.

You know, they put us on house arrest.

They locked us all down.

They tried to do everything they could to break the bonds of community.

And we've got to go the extra step.

and start rebuilding those bonds of community.

How do you do that when sometimes your family just can't even get together?

Yeah.

Well, the first thing that I suggest is people get to know their neighbors again.

Most people live on a street.

Most people, you know, live in an apartment building.

There's somewhere where there's neighbors nearby, but Americans don't know them anymore.

And so you can do things as simple as have coffee with them.

And then I talk about

several examples of groups and organizations that have organically grown up as a result of somebody just stepping out.

I talk about a guy named Basil Firminos, who's in North Phoenix.

Basil was upset with mask mandates, and so he texted 50 of his friends to come to a coffee shop and meet him, and 250 people showed up.

Wow.

And so that group,

you know,

was launched.

And they still meet.

They meet Mondays, every other Monday, and they've been involved in school board races, local legislative races.

They are making change right where they live.

And that's how we fix the country.

You know,

nobody's going to ride in on their white horse into Washington, D.C.

and fix everything.

That's not the solution to our problems.

People have to occupy right where they're at.

There's something also that I think is, for me at least, the most important thing.

Jason Whitlock yesterday said, stop calling me a conservative.

I'm a Christian.

I'm not necessarily conservative.

And I heard a great priest talk about this recently on a YouTube video I watched, where he said, I'm tired of hearing about a liberal priest or a conservative priest.

He said, there's neither of those.

If you're for gay marriage, you're not a liberal priest.

You're not a priest.

If you are for,

you know, transgenderism and the mutilation of our children, you're not a liberal priest.

And I'm not a conservative priest for standing against it.

You're just not a priest.

And I think

re-establishing ourselves with our faith, and I don't know how many people really have that deep of faith anymore,

but re-establishing that, no, I have two citizenships, one to the United States, and my first citizenship is to the kingdom of God.

And I'm not going to break those laws in either of those citizenships.

I can't do it and be a good citizen.

No, you are exactly right.

This is a spiritual warfare.

You know,

we all know that Tucker Carlson just recently was released at Fox.

And

part of the speculation, because we don't know everything that happened, is that he was starting to talk in terms of spiritual warfare.

And

he was calling out people as evil.

He gave this speech to the Heritage Foundation on their 50th anniversary where, you know,

he said things that offend the elites.

And so,

you know, I think that that's a big part of why he might have been removed.

So you're right.

It is a spiritual battle.

And, you know, I encourage people to get back into scripture.

I think one of the ways that you can discern these false narratives is if you're putting good things into your mind and the Bible and the scripture is full of wisdom.

So, you know, turn off social media, turn off Twitter, turn off Facebook, and spend some time in the Bible.

And I think it will really change your perspective about things.

I think it's really hard.

You know, if people went and swore off,

you know, movies, TV shows that are on Netflix, people don't realize how far we have drifted just in the last 10 years.

You can't watch anything anymore that, you know, you would have, you would have thought was good and wholesome 15 years ago.

They don't exist.

And what's good and wholesome now is still filthy.

You know, well,

that's one of the good things about having these streaming sites is we can watch old programs.

I mean, I mean, my wife and I, we watch Murder She Wrote, which came out during the Reagan years.

Right.

Right.

So, but, you know,

Alinsky, who was the most powerful influence on the left and wrote Rules for Radicals, he was a great tactical strategist.

And what he helped the left do was maximize their influence, but he did it by ridicule and ripping people apart.

His strategies are incredibly divisive.

And in fact, you know,

he dedicated his book to Lucifer, the most divisive person in the spiritual realm.

And I actually encourage people to do the opposite of Olinski, and that is start to love the people around you.

Start to love your neighbors, start to re-engage with your neighbors, and then find people like you that you want to work with, and then get involved in your school board race, get involved in some of these key things because

we still have the Bill of Rights.

We still have freedom of the press.

And if we don't exercise these freedoms, we will lose them.

I think that's one of the most important things that you you have said: is start to love your enemy.

I gave a speech a couple of nights ago in Virginia, and

I said, you know,

hatred comes from darkness and ignorance.

And there is a hatred that is spreading all over the world that is just evil.

And if we really are disciples of Christ, we have to love our enemies.

And we have to start looking at some of these people.

Some of these people know exactly what they're engaged in.

I think a lot of other people don't really know and

they've just kind of eased their way into it.

And they don't realize that they're up to their neck in evil now.

And the Lord wants all of his kids back, not just us, not one side or the other.

He wants all of them to return to him.

And you're never going to accomplish that with hatred and anger and violence.

Never.

No.

I mean, his message is a message of love, of radical love.

And, you know, when I was growing up, we had the Kiwanis Club, we had the Lions Club, we had the Rotary Club.

We had all of these civic organizations that were building the local community.

And, you know, those organizations now are all in really tough shape.

They're smaller after COVID.

A lot of people didn't come back.

A lot of them will never re-engage.

We have to rebuild community and start with our neighborhoods and start with our neighbors.

And we can take back the country literally town by town, city by city.

county by county.

There's over 3,000 counties in America that are, in essence, red counties.

And a lot of times they aren't being run that way because people just aren't active in their communities.

And politics encourages and invites and attracts some of the worst elements.

Floyd, thank you so much.

The name of the book that he's just put out is Counterpunch.

His name is Floyd Brown.

You can get Counterpunch wherever you get your books.

And you can also find much of his work at Westernjournal.com.

Floyd, thank you so much.

Great to be with you.

Bye-bye.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

When was it that you discovered you couldn't do that thing that you loved anymore?

What was that thing?

My thing was writing by hand

and painting.

Couldn't do them.

And

that just

killed me.

It was too painful to use my hands for any amount of time and I mean like three minutes my hands would just cramp up and it was horrible I couldn't live that way and I lived that way for several years I tried everything I didn't try relief factor because I thought there's no way that's gonna work for me I mean it's advertised on the radio come on man

I don't know why I feel that way I use the products I advertise for.

So I'm listening to boneheads on the radio and they're like, God, it's a relief factor.

I didn't think it would work mainly because it reduces inflammation.

And I've had ibuprofen.

I've even had the hard stuff.

Oh man, I was in recovery after ibuprofen 800 for a while.

It does nothing for me.

For some reason, Relief Factor works.

I have my hands back.

I can paint.

I can write again.

It's relief factor.com.

I'm not getting to many of them today because it's Friday, man.

I don't want to think.

I really don't want to think.

And I don't think you do either.

But there was a story in there about a new study on climate change that is showing, uh-oh, the models are all wrong.

Yeah, and this has been a real problem for the climate change industry over the past few years, which is their models seem to be running a little hot.

Yeah, they're not really predicting where the temperatures would go.

Of course, now we know where temperatures have gone over the past 20, 30 years.

Of course, the older models predicted much more warming.

And the answer to that is, of course, we've improved our technology.

We now know better.

Yeah, sure, we were wrong before, but now we're right.

And you should trust us now, even though our history shows you we were wrong last time.

That's always an interesting proposal that we're supposed to accept, but let's let's go along with it here for a moment.

The newest study out on this is showing about half the amount of warming

as many of the other studies have shown when it comes to what is actually

going on.

It's about, you know, most of these studies have showed about 0.2 degrees Celsius increase per decade.

And

tell that to the next person who tells you, I remember when I was a kid, kid,

it was never this hot.

And now it really is.

Is that right?

You're really noticing the 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade.

Is that that noticeable to you?

In 50 years, that equals one degree.

You're really noticing that?

Are you?

That's just an annoying thing that people do.

But anyway, the newest one is showing about half that, about 0.12 degrees Celsius.

So we've already cut it in half.

There you go.

Congratulations.

A lot of this has to do with the positive versus negative feedback loops that they put inside of these climate models.

And

it's an annoying

long conversation, but like if you think about a rounded bowl, right?

And if you were to drop a ping pong ball into the bowl, it would go up and down and it would kind of eventually settle at the bottom, right?

That's a negative feedback loop, okay?

It's going to take whatever's going on and decrease it over time until it stops.

A positive feedback loop is if you took that same rounded bowl and turned it upside down and you dropped the ping pong ball on the top.

Well, it would just run rampant, right?

It would just go off the table and keep rolling.

And so, what climate theorists always talk about is these positive feedback loops.

The things that are happening wouldn't do what they say these catastrophic consequences are.

It wouldn't by themselves do that.

But what they say is: well, one thing will lead to another, which will lead to another, which will lead to another.

They will build off each other, make everything worse, and create a positive feedback loop that eventually ends with all of us dying and society.

I mean, that is what we have done with our foreign policy over the last 100 years.

Well, if we do this, then they'll do that, and then this will happen, and that will happen, and it'll all be great.

Right.

And none of that happens.

Almost never can you predict these things.

This is why, back in the turn of the last century,

1899 to 1900, 1901, the big

fundamental environmental concern was how were they going to get rid of all of the horse dung from Manhattan?

Because there were so many, they were growing so fast, and everyone was on horses, and and there's horse dung everywhere.

What do we do with it all?

It's going to pile up and it's going to envelop the city.

Now, in reality, I do admit it did eventually get covered in feces, but it was human feces.

And it was because of the progressives.

Hey, a totally different problem.

So

there's another story in Show Prep that comes from the World Economic Forum today.

It's about Agenda 2030.

Oh, yeah, it's back.

Listen to this.

In the times of fraying multilateralism, Agenda 2030 represents the rare moment of unanimity achieved by the international community, which in 2015 agreed to cement the three pillars of sustainable development.

I bet I could get more people to tell me what the three branches of government are on the street than the

three pillars of sustainable development.

Okay?

And remember, this is a global thing that we all got together and did.

economic advancement, social progress, and environmental sustainability.

The 17 sustainable development goals of the targets of the 2030 agenda represent a significant improvement over the preceding eight millennial development goals and their comprehensive scope.

Civil society organizations played a key role in putting forward the ideas for SDGs.

I just said what an SDG is, and I'll bet you most people would go, what is an SDG?

Sustainable development goal.

Anyway,

they were able to win significant people-centered commitments.

Blah, blah, blah.

Beyond their role in the SDGs, it established that civil society organizations contribute to the national life and sustainable development.

It helps foster inclusive policymaking that keeps the needs of the vulnerable and marginal.

This article continues to talk about how we all did this together.

I contend no one that I know and no one that you know or will ever know put all of this together.

We weren't even consulted.

The Glenn Back program.

I don't know about you, but I value my sanity and my sanity is connected to my wife's sanity.

And when we sell a home and

they continue to say, oh, we've got somebody coming over for a showing.

Just make sure the house is clean.

Even if they say, don't worry, they don't care if you live in a pig stye.

They just want to look at the house because they're thinking about burning it down to the ground.

My wife will say to me, We've got to clean.

We have to spend the day cleaning the house.

You're like, they're going to burn it down.

We cannot show the house and have it with a speck of dust in it.

Oh my gosh.

Please, somebody sell my house quickly.

Okay.

Question Everything is the code.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Now,

I want to talk to you about

your elections.

You may have elections going on.

Texas, I know, has elections going on right now through May 2nd.

Election Day is Saturday, May 6th.

But these are the ones where they get you

because they're very organized.

And some of these elections, many of them school board elections, they can be won by three votes because seven people have voted.

Okay.

Nobody goes out and votes.

You need to call your friends and organize your neighborhood.

Literally, if you put 10 people in a car, you could be the difference on a winning and losing election in an election like what's happening right now.

I want to introduce you to Stephanie Alod.

She is, now don't hold this against her, okay?

Yes.

She's a California native, but she got to Texas as soon as she could.

Stephanie, welcome to the program.

Thank you, Gwen.

Yeah.

So you moved from California, you moved to Frisco, which is a really nice part of North Texas, and it has great schools, and you got into the schools, and then you started paying attention to what was being said because of COVID.

And what happened?

Right.

Well, the first few years were great.

We've been here 10 years, and then I started to notice some things, even before COVID, but then after COVID, definitely.

And so I went to a school board meeting just about two years ago, actually, and I just did not like what I saw at all.

I felt like the parents who had taken time to be there were very disrespected.

In fact, the school board president at the time said, this is our meeting, meaning theirs and not ours.

And it just didn't sit right with me.

So to make a very long story short, I ended up running for school board last year, and I won.

So I have been a school board member for about a year now.

And you found out, and we have the tape, we're going to play it here in a second, you found out that other members of the school board were meeting without you to try to figure out how to pretty much silence you.

Yes, I did find that out recently.

And, well, let's play it.

Do you want to set this audio up?

Well, yeah, from what I understand, I can, sure.

So what happened last fall was that myself and another trustee put an item on the agenda related to bathroom policy.

And so that it took a while, and now I know why it took a while.

Once you hear what you're about to play, it'll probably make more sense.

But it took a while, and I didn't really think that much about the fact that it took a while, even though we have procedures as part of the board in terms of how long things should take before they get on an agenda when trustees request it.

But anyways, apparently there was some constituents of our community who were angry about the policy.

So our three board officers met with them to address their concerns.

And they were concerned that we had just passed a policy saying, you know, boys use boys' restrooms, girls use girls' restrooms.

They were upset about that.

And so this audio was the three board officers kind of responding to those concerns.

Now listen to this.

Go ahead.

I am so tired of having, because every time it's on a board meeting, every time it's on an agenda, the entire hate crowd now can come and speak about how terrible they think our transgender schools are.

Stop for a second.

This woman is saying, I am so sick and tired of it.

Every time we talk about bathrooms, then the entire hate crowd comes in and we have to listen to how much they hate it.

Go ahead.

I mean, Marvin and Stephanie are going to keep on, but every time, but they're going to ruin every meeting this year.

And I have mechanisms in place that I can push and I can use our subcommittee structure.

And they wanted to vote on this in July.

It's November.

That's how long I've been able to push this out.

And so, like, I have mechanisms by which I can do that.

And I can also put it on any agenda.

They want it on the regular board meetings because it's a show.

If they ask for anything transgender policy going forward, it will be on a special meeting in the middle of the day that no one goes to.

And The only way we can calm out what they're doing is to make sure our board stays in the majority of good guys.

That's all we can do.

Because

they changed the state law.

They will try, but they have never been successful in passing a bathroom policy at the state level.

We need to be in the audience.

We'll see what their narrative is so that we have a defense mechanism.

That is incredible.

In case you need a recap, some of the things discussed there was we're tired of of the people coming to the meetings and wrecking the meetings.

And Stephanie

and her

fellow board member, they keep coming and they're going to wreck all of these meetings.

So then the next one says, well, I can keep it off the agenda.

They wanted to do this in July.

It's now November.

And I have mechanisms that will keep it off the agenda.

And the other one says, and if they want to put it on the agenda, we can put it on in the day so nobody comes and we won't have to deal with all of that.

What was the last thing in there?

There was so much.

We have to make sure that the good guys remain in control of the board.

The question is, who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?

When you heard this,

Stephanie,

What did you think?

I mean, I was shocked.

I really was because, you know, I understand that there's a divide within the board and that, you know, the existing board members didn't want me on it.

I certainly understand that.

That was made very clear in last year's election.

But, you know, I was surprised that anyone went to this level to do this.

And it was very concerning to me to call,

you know, to characterize the parents as being a hate crowd.

These are parents who came.

and spent their time and spoke in most cases pretty eloquently about their concern about this bathroom practice that the district had had and quite honestly is still practicing.

So, you know, they're allowed to come and say that.

And that doesn't make them a hate crowd.

They were concerned.

There were fathers coming concerned about their daughters.

There were, you know, there was a mom who came who her son had been impacted by this whole issue of having a biological girl in the boys restroom.

And then, you know, when this mother complained to the school about that, they said, well, your son can use the nurse's restroom if he's uncomfortable.

And she came and spoke.

I didn't, that's not a hater.

That's just, you know, someone who disagrees.

And it, you know, one of the things that concerns me the most about this whole environment that we live in, especially as it relates to school board elections, is if you don't agree with the establishment, then you're, you know, you're a hate crowd, whatever, right?

And you're anti-public education.

It's like, it's so ridiculous.

It's so intellectually dishonest.

It's like we can disagree and that's okay.

But this name-calling and this rhetoric is just, it's escalated in Frisco this year because of the board election.

And it's really sad to see.

So first of all, are there people that you've talked to?

You're getting some other people like you on that are running now for the board?

There are two people that I am supporting in this election.

I sort of characterize it as establishment candidates versus independent voices.

That's how I characterize it.

And so there are, I've supported Reed Bond and Susan Kershaw.

We have two seats up for election this year, and I have publicly endorsed and supported them.

Are they running as

are they Republicans or Democrats or Independents?

They are.

They're conservative.

Okay.

They are.

And they've gotten all the endorsements from all the conservative groups and a lot of the Republican politicians.

But because they're non-partisan races, it doesn't have any kind of party affiliation on the ballot.

Right.

And how do you, are there any, I mean, because they're so, they hide.

They hide.

We're open with our view.

Look, if you want bathrooms to be shared by, you know, both sexes or all 99, I'm not the candidate for you.

They're not open and honest about it.

So how do you know

that you're, you're standing with somebody that is good?

Well,

you know, you just ask questions.

And I think a lot of these grassroots organizations,

you know, do the vetting.

And so that's what I tell people is go look at their questionnaires, go look at who they're endorsing.

And you can see some of that.

There's also forums that have been online.

In fact, I was interested to find out that the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, when they did their forum, that's kind of the biggest forum that we have here,

they asked, you know, do you support getting out of the Texas Association of School Boards or not?

Because another district recently did, and I thought, well, that's a question.

That's a good one.

People said yes or no, right?

And so you could see where people fell.

The other thing I'll say, just to kind of get back to the video for a quick second, is that one of our state representatives

did request that the TEA, the Texas Education Agency, do an investigation into this to see if there was any kind of wrongdoing.

And so it is my understanding that that investigation has occurred.

So there's been quite a bit of backlash to it, including from several of our elected officials who've gotten involved and are trying to do something to just stop this stuff.

So the Texas Association of School Boards,

you know, we know about the school board associations nationally,

and the Texas teachers unions.

They were instrumental in killing school choice here in Texas, which is incredible to me.

We have so many spineless Republicans.

What role do those guys play in school boards and

races like this?

So the Texas Association of School Boards,

all trustees become a member once they get sworn in if your district is a member of

that organization.

And all districts in Texas except for one are, and that would be Carroll ISD in South Lake, who recently just voted to get out of the Texas Association of School Board.

So they are in a process of exiting.

Good.

But basically, they provide training for trustees.

They provide legal and others as well, employees, things like that.

They also provide legal services for districts and insurance services and things like that.

But they're on the wrong side.

They're on the wrong side, are they not?

Are they not also pushing?

Go ahead.

Yeah, I've seen them push quite a bit of

progressive ideology.

I was not a fan of that organization when I was running because I had heard about this concept called Team of Eight.

Yeah.

And that is basically where you have seven trustees and a superintendent and you're supposed to be a team.

And I thought, well, that.

That just seems counterintuitive to me on the face of it because I thought, well, aren't the trustees supposed to be there to, you know, oversee the district?

And isn't the superintendent supposed to report to the board?

And isn't the board supposed to be seven independent voices trying to make decisions for the community?

So the whole team of eight concept, I ran a platform kind of against that.

In fact, I think I've specifically said, I will not be team of eight.

I will be an independent voice.

So that was kind of my thoughts before I got on.

And then, you know,

when I got on the board, I had the chance last fall to go to a convention that was put on by the Texas Association of School Boards, and they brought in ACLU attorneys to talk to the trustees about some of these controversial issues.

And I was shocked.

I mean, it's one thing to present both sides of an issue, but I didn't see any Heritage Foundation speakers or anything like that.

Right.

Exactly right.

I saw the ACLU, and I was quite honestly horrified because it was, you know, you have to allow pornographic books in libraries, just make sure they're age-appropriate, which meant to me, I guess, high school's okay, but maybe some books aren't okay for elementary school.

But they basically told us there's no book, you know, that you should take out of the library.

And some of these books are so explicit.

And then they also, you know, said, you know, boys should be in girls' locker rooms.

It's that's what they want.

And I mean, I heard them say it, and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that that's what they were doing.

And so there's a lot of that stuff that goes on in the conventions, but even just a lot of the rhetoric from, you know, this organization, they basically said that when you you know when you become a trustee you serve the district and not the voters and I thought well that's you know what the heck is that so I have not been a fan of this organization Stephanie thank you you are running again already

no I am not running you're not running okay good no yeah yeah yeah I didn't think so but

yeah I have a three-year term so I'll be in till 2025 at least okay and but I'm supporting Reed Bond and Susan Kershaw

to be independent voices for Frisco ISD.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Thank you, Stephanie.

Oh, just because the warranty is expired doesn't mean my car is going to...

Join the conversation:

888-727-BEC, the Glenn Beck program.

Okay, okay, all right.

CNN.

CNN is running Sunday night at 8 p.m.

The rain begins.

Charles and Camilla.

Ooh.

And tens of people will be watching.

Well, don't oversaw.

Okay, well, I just, it was kind of a dramatic moment.

I wanted to, you know, maybe beef it up just a little bit.

When is this glorious

when is the coronation?

Coronation.

Well, obviously, it's May 6th, 2023.

Okay.

So we got, what are you doing May 6th, 2023?

Of course, we'll be watching the coronation of King Charles because I knew it was happening before 10 seconds ago.

Yeah.

Completely.

So bad.

You remember, I mean, when I was growing up, we did watch, you know, Prince Charles and Lady Diet stay up.

I stayed up three o'clock in the morning to watch it.

This

now,

the Glen Beck program.

There's only one place where history, culture, and adventure meet on the National Mall.

Where museum days turn to electric lights.

Where riverside sunrises glow and monuments shine in moonlight.

Where there's something new for everyone to discover.

There's only one DC.

Visit Washington.org to plan your trip.

We got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together as a cover survived.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

A man can only take so much, okay?

A man can only take so much.

A country can only take so much.

I just want to talk to you about

brides today.

Now, this, normally I'm not talking to you about brides today.

I think this is the first time in my career I've ever brought up brides today.

Today, I think I have to.

I think I have to.

You know, there's a point where you're like, okay.

Okay, I mean,

we're checking out.

We're checking out.

This is Hotel California.

You are all insane.

I'm checking out.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Goldline.

Wouldn't it be just awesome if we were living in a time where sanity ruled?

Yeah, but we're not.

So may I suggest Goldline?

Goldline, I've always said, you know, first I started saying it's a hedge against inflation.

Then about 10 years ago, I started saying it's a hedge against insanity.

And when I start seeing the world start to return to common sense,

then I will stop saying that maybe you should have some gold or silver.

The world is insane and it's only getting faster.

In fact,

the insane are running the world.

May I suggest you stop listening to the experts and broaden your mind, do your own homework and figure out, is that dollar going to collapse?

Is that going to be the world reserve currency forever?

Because it always is that way, you know.

Goldline, call them now at 866Goldline.

866Goldline, protect your financial position right now.

Just have something in gold or silver.

And gold and silver is really inexpensive and easy to get into.

And I think it's going to help a lot of people, I think, if you had some silver.

Every box of 100 of the five-ounce silver coins, these are very hard to get.

You will receive 50 of the mind your business silver bars at no additional cost just this week.

Call 866 gold line.

866

gold line.

Okay,

this will be, I think, the first and only time I ever talk about brides today.

It's a wedding magazine for brides.

Now, it has its first cover.

And

on the cover

is a dude named

Alok.

And I just, maybe if you're watching the Blaze, you can

get, can you get a picture of that?

That's...

Hmm.

That's the beautiful bride.

Wow, that's a bride, all right.

Or it's something.

It's definitely something.

The hairiest chest on a bride I've ever seen.

I mean,

you just, you put,

you know, you wax his chest, and I think just a block away,

people would still go, oh, gosh, that hurt.

And it's not happening to you.

A block away, they could be doing it to his chest, and you'd be like, ow, ow, something.

I just felt a

disturbance in the force.

It's like a millionaire on somebody's chest were just ripped out.

Oh, the follicles.

Follow your feelings, Luke.

That's a dude.

Okay, that's clearly a distance.

And like, if a dude wants to dress in a, you know, like, that's, I suppose,

fine, but really, Bride's magazine.

If I'm, if I'm a bride, okay?

Imagine I'm a bride.

Oh, what a beautiful,

beautiful bride I would be.

I agreed.

Beautiful.

So

you'd be wonderful.

Yeah.

I want a picture of me as a bride.

I think I should be on the next cover of, I don't know, Glenn magazine.

Anyway,

so

if I were a bride and a female bride,

I would look at that magazine and say, what the hell are you doing?

How many people, honest to God, how many people are transgendered and are getting married, let's say in the next six months?

Six?

Am I being too generous?

Too generous.

Okay.

Yes.

How many are

can we stop?

Not many.

Can we stop?

So this isn't a

decision made

to help the bottom line.

No.

Right?

No.

This is not a decision where like, hey, you know.

Well,

can we go back to Budweiser?

Because there are three categories.

And one of those categories is, it is about the bottom line, but I don't believe any of this stuff, but I'm getting so much pressure.

And I'm going to have advertisers leave me.

I'm going to have people picketing out front if I don't put a dude with a hairy chest in a bridal gown on my cover.

Right.

So they can say.

to whatever ESG Lord comes to them, they can say, look,

come on, we're the people that put the bearded dude on the cover.

We're good, we're good, don't worry about us.

You don't need to protest us, you didn't need to oppose us, and they expect you just to take it because they know you're afraid of them too.

This is stormtrooper tactics, man.

That's exactly what stormtroopers did.

You were afraid the stormtroopers would come knocking at your door or point you out in a crowd.

I mean,

so they do it, and then they expect us just to continue to do it.

I mean, I don't, you know,

I'm not a buyer of Brides Magazine.

No?

No.

But if I, if I were, let's say Bridal Today is my favorite.

So

if this happened to Bridal Today, I'd cancel my subscription.

I wouldn't pick it up at the, well, actually, I would pick it up because I want a copy of this for the museum just for a hundred years down the road.

They can go,

what the F were these people thinking?

Are you confident in that?

Yes, I am.

You're confident in a hundred years, people look back.

Gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter return.

Yep.

You think potentially people say this was a crazy period in our history.

Stu

this has all been done before.

This was done, I think we just talked about this yesterday, in the Weimar Republic.

Exactly all of this.

And then it stopped.

And it stopped in a bad way.

But then it stopped.

And now we're doing it again.

And do you think we've learned any lessons?

Do you think, do you, what's happened is last time

transgender, all of this stuff, surgery, all of it was happening in society went crazy.

And then the Nazis came in and said, they will make it stop.

And they they made it stop.

In the worst time.

Of course.

Yes.

This time, the transgender movement is also using Nazi talk tactics.

It's going to require one side or the other to go, hey, I'm just here for peace and love and the way of Christ.

I don't want to fight with you.

I don't want to round anybody up.

I don't even want you to feel bad, okay?

But I got to reestablish the truth here.

I hope you're right.

I wonder sometimes, I don't feel that way all the time that it's gonna come back around.

Like I think of this when it comes to, for example, racism.

We can all look back at, you know, separate water fountains and identify what a terrible, crazy period of history, things that should not have occurred, right?

There's a lot of racial policies and terrible discrimination that went on in that period that we could all identify now was awful.

And I, in my mind, we got past that.

Now, it doesn't mean that we're perfect, but we got past that obvious thing and identified the way we solved it was to say, hey, we don't judge people on the basis of the color of their skin.

Correct.

But then now here we are, once again, as a society, embracing the color of skin as the most important characteristic of a person.

Right.

And like, I feel like we've slipped right back into that.

I don't feel like it's

fair to look back at that.

There's 19 Holocaust that have happened to the Jewish people 19 times.

And every time you're like, never forget.

And then you start going that way and they're like, hey, didn't this happen?

Shut up, you anti-Semite.

And then it happens again.

Okay.

So we have to remember the past, but

there will be a better period.

The question is, Because of AI and because this is now global, this is the first time the entire earth has gone insane everywhere.

Tell me where the safe country is to live, where it's sanity.

Oh, oh, really?

Steven Seagal?

Yeah, he's pretty sane.

Yeah, he's completely not nuts.

Yeah, you know, at least they're sticking up for, you know, Christian points of view.

It's Putin in Russia.

There's no place that is safe.

Okay.

That could push us into darkness for a very long time, but man will eventually come out of it.

They will.

And I look forward to that time.

I don't think I might be alive when that happens, but I look forward to those days.

It will happen.

It's not, it does not have to end the way it usually ends.

We have access to information and history that others never had.

They didn't even have it in the 1930s.

We have every, there's no excuse for us this time.

Let me put it that way.

It's not like you're going to get up to the Pearly Gates and Peter's going to be like, oh, it's you.

You're like, yeah, but I didn't know.

I really didn't know any of that was going on.

Good old Pete's going to look at you and go, yeah, uh.

Do you remember something called a Facebook feed, Instagram, Twitter?

Yes.

You were kind of on that a lot, weren't you?

Yeah.

It was all right there.

Broom.

That's what's going to happen.

There's no excuse this time.

By the way,

if you like this kind of talk, if you just say, I wish I could hang out with people like Glenn and Stu all day and just

swim in the sea of we're all going to die,

you need to work for Mercury Radio Arts.

That's a commercial.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's my company.

So I know it really well.

We have a

rare opening.

And I know this is posted as Mercury.

So I think it is Mercury, not the Blaze.

We have a rare opening for an editor.

And we are looking for

really

good

quality editors with lots of experience that are also constantly looking for the next kind of

iteration of editing.

If that's you, we pay in sandwiches and

you can be surrounded by people who think the end of the world is nigh.

It doesn't get much better than that.

No, I mean, you can get that on some street corners if you're not all street corners.

Not all of them.

No, not all of them.

No.

And no begging is required.

I mean, you know, you can do that in your off time, but damn it, you better edit that while you're here.

So if you'd like to join that, go to GlennBeck.com.

You'll find a

job description and things that you have to do.

And I don't know.

I mean, it's my company, but I don't actually have anything to do with it.

It's like Umpa Lumpa's run it.

I don't even know how the doors open.

I really don't.

So you can join us at Mercury Radio Arts.

By the way, Blaze Media uh is uh announcing, they announced yesterday our first uh film and series.

It's a comedy acquisition, and it is

funny.

Uh, I have been watching these people grow for a couple of years now, and um

we have just uh

uh we have just grabbed uh reopening,

which has won all kinds of awards uh in the indie world.

And usually, I don't really care about that,

but it is the first time I've agreed with critics in a long time.

This is really funny.

If

you are a fan of movies like

Best of Show

or

Best in Show.

Best in Show.

What is the one with the singing?

A Mighty Wind.

If you are a fan of those, not everybody is.

I am a huge fan of those.

Yeah, Waiting for Guffman's and other.

But I would also say, you know, because some people, those are a little esoteric for some.

I mean, the office is

mockumentary style, right?

Yes, yes.

So it's all mockumentary.

You're exactly right.

That's a better one to use.

This is called The Reopening, and it is the cast and crew of a struggling theater in Pigeon Valley, Tennessee, as they attempt to prepare the theater to reopen after months of being closed down due to COVID.

And it involves the health inspector coming in and giving them all kinds of instruction.

It is hysterical.

It is really, really good.

I think it opens on Blaze for subscribers on May 4th.

That's next week.

So is it next week?

No, two weeks from now.

No, I think it's next week.

Yeah, it's April 28th today.

So yeah, next week.

Kidding me.

We're already in.

It's already happening.

When will it stop?

Stop this merry-go-round.

I went off.

The calendar?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Please stop turning the pages because I look a little like Dorian Gray right now.

Yeah, this movie's great.

I'm excited about it.

They're really funny.

And the mockery of the things that need desperately to be mocked is so satisfying.

So often, I mean, we were talking about this the other day.

You know, Kamala Harris.

is up there blathering on saying these like 45 minute sentences that don't ever get to a a conclusion.

And we were talking about that.

Like, they, as far as I know, have not mocked that one time on Saturday Night Live.

That's not making fun of Joe Biden because he's dementia and maybe they have an issue with them.

You know, okay, I guess you can find a line there.

There's nothing you can find funny about Kamala freaking Harris.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

And this movie isn't like, hey, here's conservative points.

No, it's not that at all.

Everyone will enjoy this.

And you'll like the mockery of the nonsense that we've just lived through.

We are also uh developing a new comedy series with the same people a love letter to small town america that features two dune buggy delivering paper boys at the dusty bluffs gazette uh and uh it's a little like napoleon dynamite if you like that uh so become a member of the blaze blaze tv the movie uh premieres next week may 4th only on blazetv.com slash glenn

I mean, we went down the blinds, I mean, the bridal magazine, so we might as well go here.

Barbie.

Should we talk about Barbie now?

I don't know if we have time to talk about Barbie here.

I mean, mean, well, we do.

We clearly have time to talk about Barbie, but both of us, to be honest with you, are a little concerned about cutting it short because we have a lot of things to say about Barbie.

I think it's a fascinating story.

I do, too.

And some of the

people's idiotic comments about it, I think, are fascinating as well.

But there is now a...

What is it?

A Down syndrome Barbie, which I completely, I love.

I love.

It's interesting interesting to me that the people who are trying to make sure that Down syndrome babies are never born are all celebrating the Down syndrome Barbie.

But maybe that's because, oh, they're kind of cute and cuddly.

And, you know, once we kill all the people, I'd like to have one of them around kind of like a doll.

It's amazing.

How many articles have we read where they have literally been celebrating the

death?

And elimination.

The path to elimination of

them in entirety, right?

Like, I mean, we talk about that in totally different contexts normally.

Yeah.

You know, it's usually like some crazy dictator trying to wipe out some group of people.

Now it's like, oh, well, look at medical experts are celebrating X, Y, and Z.

It's very dark.

And so

I'm glad they took a stand in this way.

Yeah.

But

we have more to say about the different Barbies too.

And I say we save it maybe for Monday.

Sure.

Or if we have time before the end of the show, because

I have a feeling once Stu and and I both start on Barbie, because we never have talked about Barbie before.

Okay,

once we start down that road, just based on our conversation prior to the pod and broadcast today,

I think we have a lot to say.

I think we have a lot to say, and it could get a little dicey, too.

So stand by.

It could come at you at any time.

Don't know.

Don't want to promise anything.

Don't want to threaten, but Barbie talk is coming.

Back in a minute.

The Glenn Beck program.

Lori wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, and I quote, I have three very picky pugs.

And I want to challenge you to say that.

10 times.

Three very picky pugs.

They actually licked the bottom of their bowls clean for the very first time since we gave them rough greens.

They have been very active ever since.

They seem extremely happy.

What, your very picky pugs can't talk?

My very picky pugs write poetry.

Anyway,

rough greens is...

Fridays are just so bad.

I just don't care.

Anyway,

rough greens, it's not a dog food.

It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food, and it's full of vitamins and minerals, probiotics and antioxidants.

Things that are going to make your dog healthy and happy.

Perky, really.

These picky pugs are perky now because of rough greens.

It's roughgreens.com slash beck.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We are heard every day and watched every day on radio stations all over America.

And we are also watched and carried on Blaze TV, Blaze Audio and podcasts.

The same can be said for our good friend Rick Burgess, who is part of Rick and Bubba.

And Rick and Bubba are on every morning on Blaze TV, where you can watch their show.

They are also heard on radio nationwide and very, very funny and really, really guys Rick Burgess is with us now he just did an interview that I heard with William Shatner

where

William kept referring to Rick as Bubba the entire time

and

Rick was nice enough not to tell him yeah Bubba's not on the phone this is Rick dude this is Rick but welcome to the program Bubba

yeah yes I'm yeah I go I answered to Rick our Bubba.

Bubba and I were, you know, we're in our 29th year in four months.

So at this point, if someone calls me Bubba at the grocery store, I just answer.

If somebody asks me how his wife's doing, I just pretend.

My wife is not happy about this.

My wife literally says, Glenn, she says, if another person asks me if I'm married to Rick and Bubba, I'm going to scream.

She's, I'm only married to one of them.

Right.

So, look, we're interchangeable, and you don't interrupt William Shatner.

You don't correct William Shatner.

I had him on my CNN program, I don't know, how long was it ago, almost 20 years ago now.

And he was, he said, you know, I watch you every day.

And I said, that sounds kind of creepy.

And he said, no, I watch you every day.

He said, because

it's as if I'm a pyromaniac and I'm just watching everything burn down in front of me.

And

if you notice, and I said this when it was over, you know, Speedy, all the guys on the show, they're like, why didn't you correct him?

Of course, Bubba loved the fact that didn't because he ended up having to miss the interview because you interview William Shatner when he can or when he tells you to.

And so I said, well, don't worry, Bubba.

There's no interviewing Shatner.

He said for eight minutes what he wanted to say, and we were done.

And what's sad, though, is Bubba is the one who loves Star Trek.

I never watched it as a kid because it wasn't my thing.

I really thought Boston Legal and that character, you know, was so good.

Oh, he is a phenomenal.

I mean, he never, I mean, this is not what you're on for, so we're going to stop talking about William Shatner, but he is an awesome actor.

He really is

in a very stilted sort of William Shatner sort of way.

Anyway,

it says right here on my little piece of paper: the topic I'm supposed to address is: why are the majority of church congregations made up of women?

Where are the men?

But I'm not going with that because you are

the founder of the man church.

So the answer, where are all the men?

They're at Rick or Bubba's church.

That is correct.

Let's talk about this.

Here's what we know.

Okay, we know this.

Do you ever get tired of people hitting you with stats about something and you begin to scream?

Well, are we going to do anything about it?

Or just keep talking about this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So we have been on every, this is what, every Father's Day, every time I've ever been in church, the guy gets up and appreciated and he says, well, we've done the survey.

We've done the survey again.

Let me tell you, men, something.

The Barner research is in,

and there is no influence that's anywhere near the influence that God gave a man.

Now, let me be clear, that does not mean inequality.

Men and women are of equal value and equal standing before God Almighty.

He created them male and female.

However, there's a headship that he gave to man, and there's a maternal connection he gave to woman that you can't just interchange.

And the headship does not meet inequality.

As we know, you know, that Jesus himself said, I'm here to do the will of my Father.

There was a headship in the Father, but the Father and the Son are equal.

So it's not inequality.

So let's drop all that.

But what we hear is that Barna and all these others have researched that inside a home, if the mother and father are there, if the man becomes a follower of Christ, there is the highest it ever was, there's a 93% chance the rest of the family will follow his spiritual lead.

And then I think now down is to 78 or 82.

But it drops substantially down to if mom becomes a spiritual leader of the home, it gets like to 23% that the rest of the house will follow.

If it's a child, it's in single digits, that that child could influence the rest of their family.

So the question that we asked at themanchurch.com, or God finally convicted me, are you just going to keep talking about this?

Or why don't you quit waiting for someone else to do something?

And I said, well, what are we actually doing about it?

And most Western churches, if you go in, you will find that they'll say this on Father's Day.

But if you looked at the budget or an investment or any game plan to reach and disciple men so they can actually do the job as

spiritually leaving their home, you find that it's financed dead last,

or there's really not a game plan at all.

So here was the question we have to ask.

Do we really believe it?

And in this country right now, wherever you go, when you see chaos, you see one thing.

Men have left their proper place.

And now we're getting into this, you know, biological men now want to identify as women.

And have you noticed they're becoming dangerous.

Anytime men leave their proper place under the authority of the one and only living God, they're dangerous.

They always have been.

We always will be.

And so you're not going to address this nation's spiritual problem with some kind of worldly solution.

And so at the Manchurch.com and here at the Rick and Bubba show, we said, well,

if that will have a huge impact, if men have the most influence, if we got men in their proper place, wouldn't we solve a lot of our problems?

And so

we're being intentional about reaching, but then discipling men from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity because we can't just tell them they need to spiritually lead their family.

You've got to equip us to do it.

Equip me.

Give me a place to start.

Exactly.

I mean, I told everybody, how would I feel if I went to church every Father's Day and they told me I was supposed to be the mechanic of my home?

And they kept quoting scripture and I said, my goodness, the Bible clearly says that.

And then all of a sudden they just left and I looked around and I said, anybody going to show me how to be a mechanic?

I don't know anything about cars.

So when all we do is challenge men, but we don't equip them, we just frustrate them.

I appreciate what Promise Keepers did.

That was a great movement.

I appreciate men's conferences.

I still speak at them.

But if all we do is challenge and we don't equip, we're just frustrating men and we must reach them and disciple them.

So at themanchurch.com, we have a whole strategy where you can just plug in and we have now our fourth 40-week curriculum that's coming out.

And

this curriculum is designed to get men into small groups and actually equip them, disciple them, teach them the word of God, teach them to be able to handle the word of God.

Teach them what God's standard is.

Teach them the truth.

Not just shout at them and tell them to do it.

Actually show them how to do it.

So we still challenge, challenge, but we also equip.

And so we have multiple resources available and we go into the churches and we set up this strategy.

And like I say, we've got, like we were talking about a new resource that we just put out that kind of says what we need to say, right?

We need to be transformed.

And that's the latest resource that we're putting out right now.

It's a 31-day devotional.

And listen to this.

You know how Jesus is always counterculture, Glenn?

The subtitle, picture how mad this makes everybody.

Embracing the death of self and the power of God.

Go out to today's world and say, you need to die to yourself.

That's counterculture, but that's exactly what Jesus said.

Well, and it is so important now.

I mean,

we are all, we're making ourselves into gods.

You know, I can decide sexuality.

No, you can't.

Gender is assigned by God.

That's not within your power.

Who do you think you are?

Well, God.

That's who I am.

Right.

And it's a real problem.

Self-worship is the number one, that's the largest largest going religion we have in our society right now.

It's the worship of self.

So themanchurch.com, themanchurch.com.

Now, I've got a question

from the other side.

You know, the first question was, you know, why are the majority of church congregations made up of women?

Where are the men?

In your man church, where are all the women?

Uh-huh.

See, put you on the robe.

You go ahead and answer that one.

Well, that's an easy question.

They're not invited.

So, well,

Here's what it is.

Let me tell you where we established the strategy.

Honestly, if you go into the church, women and children are being taken care of.

There is a game plan for them, and it's a flawed strategy.

The Western church, I don't know when this happened, what was the first seminary to do this, and I use the word seminary loosely.

They came a strategy that says you reach the family through the children.

You do a great children's program and you reach the children, then those children reach mom, and then mom reaches dad.

Total hogwash.

They don't understand men.

Men Men are more than willing to drop their kids and their wives off at church and then go play golf.

Go hunting.

Go back to the office.

And what's happened, we've designed a lot of Western churches and they're designed to reach women and children.

And men are on the outskirts.

They may be pandering.

They may be appeasing their wife by going.

But the children soon find out this is something that mama wants to do.

Daddy's just giving in if he comes with us at all, but this really isn't something he's made a priority.

So then the children don't buy in back to that influence again.

So we found in scripture that three times a year God was telling Moses in the Old Testament, three times a year, this is in Deuteronomy 16, 16 and Exodus 34, 23, three times a year bring me the men.

So there was a precedent that God said, there is a time when I want to speak just to the men, and I'll tell them what to now implement into their families and into society.

Look at the creation.

Adam is the one who's told about the tree.

Eve's not even created yet.

God tells Adam what they can and cannot do and expects him to then tell the wife that he gives her.

And Adam, of course, as we know, fails at that job.

And when God shows up, he doesn't ask Eve what happened.

He says, Adam, what's happened here?

So God has always expected men to hear instruction from him and then implement that into their homes, into the church, and into society.

And we have failed miserably at equipping men to do that.

So we're just stepping up and saying, we'll do it.

I just have to tell you, somewhere in New York City, there is a maybe 24-year-old intern in a cubicle at Media Matters who is now just a heap of blubbering jell-o after the last couple of minutes.

And I thank you for that, Rick.

I do thank you for that.

Listen, Glenn.

Let me be clear, okay?

Let me be clear.

We don't do images of camo.

I do all these things, but that doesn't make you a man.

We don't do sports analogies.

We don't do the uncomfortable, here comes a sports hero who came to Jesus and he gets up and tries to tell you sports stories and force them down on scripture.

That's not what makes you a man.

If you're good at sports, you can climb a mountain, you can lift a lot of weight, you won a bar fight, you got camo on, you know, you can, you can,

that's not what makes a man.

So we don't use any of those images.

What makes you a man is whether you're a follower of Christ or not.

And if we had told men that Jesus Christ actually said, deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow me, enter by a narrow gate, those who choose to follow me, the path will will be hard, and most of you can't do it.

See, the Marines said the few, the proud, the Marines.

Jesus said the few, the humble, my disciples.

And if we were telling men that it's actually the most masculine man thing you could ever do is actually decide to follow Jesus, that's one of our slogans.

Be a man, follow Jesus.

Disciple men change everything.

Yeah, but in the Marines, you get that snappy uniform that the chicks dig.

Yeah, and unfortunately, following Jesus, you get a cross.

That's right.

That's right.

And it's becoming more and more

less fun, if you will, but more and more important every day.

Oh, look, I go to bed every night sleeping, not because my life's easy, but because my life is secure.

It's under the authority of Christ.

And to me, there's nothing more

important than that.

True masculinity is Christ-centered masculinity.

You know, when God became a man, he did it perfectly.

That should be our example.

Rick, thank you so much.

Thanks for everything you guys do.

Thank you for your friendship and your broadcast on the Blaze.

It's just, you guys are great.

Well, it's kind of you to say that.

And thank you so much for allowing the platform.

You've been so good to our show.

And all of us just love you and glad to be part of Blaze with you.

And if anybody needs our help on this, you can go to themanchurch.com.

Our brand new

resource is a new 31-day devotional.

I just wrote the commentary to it, and I kind of talk about my story in there a little bit.

It's called Transformed, and that's what we need: Embracing the Death of Self and the Power of God.

You can get it at themanchurch.com or on Amazon, but it's available now.

So it's kind of you, Glenn, to offer us the platform.

Thank you very much, Rick or Bubba, whichever one you are.

I don't know the difference between the two.

It's

Rick Burgess,

and you can go again to themanchurch.com.

All right.

I love those guys.

In case you haven't been to the the grocery store lately, inflation

seems to be there.

I saw a McDonald's commercial and they were like, 20 McNuggets and fries for $9.99.

And I was like, what?

You're advertising that?

You should keep that one to yourself until it's a surprise at the window.

Holy cow.

Inflation is kind of

going up.

Now, may I suggest that inflation is going to continue to go up, especially on things like meat.

Would you please lock in the price of really

great beef and beef that is grown here in America?

You know,

they can ship cows in from Peru or China.

They can ship them even dead here to America as long as they're cut into steaks or ground into hamburger here.

It's a product of the U.S.

No, it's not.

I want American beef.

I want really good beef.

I want a good price.

And you're kidding me.

I can lock in the price.

I'll never, you'll never give me a price increase.

That's insanity.
