Rough greens.

Take care of your dog's health and happiness.

It'll get a lot easier for you when you put rough greens on your dog's food.

It was developed by a naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black.

Give your dog the essential ingredients and

nutrients that he or she needs that they're probably not getting.

And if you don't know, a lot of dog food is really not as nutritious as you think it is.

Especially true for kibble food.

Kibble food is dead food.

It had all the nutrients baked out of it so it would have a long shelf life.

So you can replenish all of those things and then add things like probiotics, things that are really important for your dog's health.

Get a free trial bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.

All you pay for is shipping.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenback program.

Hey, hey, America, welcome to the program.

It is Tuesday, and what a historic Tuesday it's shaping up to be.

We're going to start with the slippery slope.

Now, I don't know if you've ever heard of the slippery slope, but it's nonsense.

Stu, define the slippery slope.

You know, when one thing leads to another, which leads to another, and all of a sudden you find yourself down at the bottom of that slope.

Yeah.

Like, you can't give me any examples, can you?

Like, what?

There was...

Like, for example,

Whatever you think about gay marriage, one of the concepts of when we talked about it was that it eventually might lead to...

I mean, if love is love and love wins, kind of anything in this realm will eventually be okay.

And then you'll have drag queen shows for kids and maybe maps minor drag queen.

That's ridiculous.

That's ridiculous.

Slippery slopes.

Oh, we're gonna we're gonna show you in the next 20 minutes It can't happen in America, except, oops, it just did.

This is, this is this, this is a wild ride and wake up, America, because it is happening right now.

John wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

He says, a few years ago, I had a back injury that left me in pain every single day.

I tried a lot of stuff, but nothing would make the pain go away for very long.

And fortunately, I heard you yammering on about Relief Factor and tried it out.

Within a few weeks, I not only felt better, I felt better than I had before I got the back injury.

It was amazing.

Thank you, Glenn, so much for Relief Factor.

You got it, John.

Thank you.

Three-week quick start developed for you, $19.95.

Feel the difference.

So a trial court judge, Karen May Bakian,

concluded in the case of West 49th Street versus West 49th Street LLC versus O'Neill

that a polyamorous relationship is entitled to the same sort of legal protections extended to two-person relationships.

Now,

this is interesting because this is

exactly the slippery slope that I said.

You cannot say love is love

and then just make it between two people.

Why are you limiting it to two people?

You have to be able to open it up for everything.

The case involves three men and a dispute with an apartment building.

The three men, Scott Anderson, Marcus O'Neill, lived together in a New York City apartment.

Anderson held the lease, was married to another man, Robert Romano, who lived at a different address.

Well, after Anderson died, the apartment building argued that O'Neill didn't have the right to renew the lease because he was just Anderson's roommate.

But O'Neill contends that it was a non-traditional family operation and he should have the right to renew the lease.

The judge held that there has to be a hearing to determine whether Anderson had a relationship with all three men.

If he had a polyamorous relationship with all three men, then they wrote,

why shouldn't he be held to the same

legal challenges and changes

that

happened with gay marriage.

She writes: By the end of 2014, gay marriage was legal in 35 states through either legislation or court state action.

Ogreberfell, how do you say it?

Obergerfell, right?

Versus Hodge in a seminal Supreme Court decision that established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right was heralded as groundbreaking.

However,

these things

limit their holdings to two-person relationships.

The instant case presents the distinct and complex issue of significant multi-person relationships.

It only extended legal protections to same-sex couples with normal

familial characteristics to avoid going, quote, too far.

But she asked, why

should that be a standard?

Why then, except for the very real possibility of implicit majoritarian animus, is the limitation of two persons inserted into the definition of a family-like relationship for the purposes of receiving the same protections from eviction according to legally formalized or blood relationships?

Is two just a code word for monogamy?

Why does a person have to be committed to just one person

and only a certain prescribed way in order to to enjoy stability and housing after the departure of a loved one.

She said the referral to normal familial activities reveals the intent to limit the application of non-eviction protections to someone who can demonstrate a traditional marriage but for their sexual orientation.

Though in 1999 this decision was called a radical leap, The judges ruled that ultimately it was ruled in traditional ideology.

What was normal or non-traditional in 1989 is not a barometer for what is normal or non-traditional now.

Indeed, the definition of family has morphed considerably since 1989.

So why should we stop morphing it now?

No, no, this is about love.

No, no,

this is gonna be everything.

But why stop there?

As we're talking about families, California Democrat Awake

Up

America.

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law Thursday night to strip rights away from parents who protest their children's blind pursuit of surgeries sold to confused minors as gender

affirmation.

Under the Senate Bill 107 introduced by San Francisco Area State Senator Scott Weiner.

California will now become a refuge for trans-identifying minors who seek irreversible medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

The legislation was supposedly aimed at blocking red states from enforcing laws barring extreme treatments for underage victims.

Instead, invite those minors to seek surgeries in California.

Listen to this.

In California, we believe in equality and acceptance.

We believe that no one should be persecuted or prosecuted for getting the care they need, including gender-affirming care.

This is what he said when he signed it into law.

Parents know what's best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear.

We must take a stand for parental choice.

Gosh, my eyes are

shooting blood.

Really, Gavin, parents know best, but get your kids vaccinated or we'll take them away from you?

Really, parents know best?

Really, parents know

best.

So if one parent says this is good

and the other parent says it's not good, which parent knows best?

Bing, bing, bing.

The answer, the parent that agrees with California.

The bill undermines parental choice by empowering the state to strip custody from any parent that refuses to support their children's demand for gender-affirming care.

So parents don't know best.

Just like every freaking

just like every policy that we happen to be seeing from the progressive side and the Marxist, radical, revolutionary side of today's political landscape.

If you agree with us, you're fine.

If you don't agree with us, you're an enemy of the state.

Now here's the great news.

It doesn't just apply to Californian and Californian parents.

This applies to all parents.

If your kid steps over the border into California,

you can lose custody of your own children.

And by the way, it's, I guess, not good enough to have to make sure that your kids aren't going to California to get some radical

masectomy

or puberty blockers.

No, they don't have to go to California.

Because of telehealth, California doctors can now give those puberty blockers to your children in Texas, Florida, Utah,

Michigan, New York, anywhere.

Got it?

because of california you've just lost your children

now

the medical organizations are very upset with what's going on the american medical association has sent a letter to attorney general merrick garland wow

you know just this is weird It's a letter that's, I mean, almost the same as the letters that came from the local school ed boards.

Those boards of education, they were very upset.

Hey, hey, hey, we're being threatened.

You want to just categorize a whole group of people as terrorists for us?

Wake up, America.

The American Medical Association has sent a letter to the Attorney General calling on him to investigate the organization's individuals and entities coordinating, provoking, and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence against children's hospitals and physicians across the U.S.

I'd love that investigation.

Are you also investigating the people who are bombing and threatening the abortion clinic, doctors and nurses?

See, I don't have a problem with putting people in jail who are threatening the lives of anybody.

You're threatening the lives of a doctor, of a hospital, of a women's health center, of Planned Parenthood,

or a women's center that is trying their best to make sure that people don't have an abortion, as long as you're investigating all of them.

But are you?

The answer is nope.

Nope.

You know what?

Call our producer back.

Tell him I want to put him on right now.

See if we can get him right now.

I'm going to cut the rest of this monologue because I think you need to hear.

Do you remember the guy that we talked about, we talked to right after Roe versus Wade was overturned and they had a firebombing in their clinic.

I think they were in Buffalo.

And they were firebombed.

Everybody was quite aware of who was doing it.

I'd like to know what the DOJ has done on that.

Or do we only care about the AMA?

Does the AMA only care about doctors

who are with this dangerous,

deadly

progressive ideology?

And I do say deadly because suicides are way up.

They are way up.

You think this is going to help your kids?

It's not.

Suicides of kids that are having these things done is way up.

So let's find out what the DOJ is doing.

Wake up, America.

This is real life.

You will, I know you want to go and, you know, just have your life and forget it all you will not have one

You will not be a you won't have a family

You won't be able to practice traditional American things

We all

all of us better be at the voting booth

And now, the Glendike program presents distracting happy thoughts.

It's a little dog with his head out the window.

Look at how much he's enjoying the sunshine and the wind in his face.

Okay.

You needed that?

Oh, I needed a little puppy.

I needed a little puppy.

I might need a little puppy.

You may need more than that.

I might need one just right here.

Just a little puppy to go.

Oh, it looks cute.

Are you finding the slope a bit slippery?

I am.

I am.

You know, I haven't even gotten to.

I'm not going to be able to have him on, so you know, Sarah, at the bottom of the hour.

I got to keep onto my schedule.

um

i haven't even gotten to the children's hospital in uh philadelphia the uh philadelphia gender clinic

the co-founder there that says she conducts research on homeless youth i don't know anybody have a problem with that anybody anybody anybody have a problem

anybody My hearing, oh my gosh, these are echoes of the past.

Do you need therapy?

Well, let me ask you this.

Is there something we can do?

Can we get you a group on for some therapy?

Therapy, what can we do?

Go out and vote.

Go out

and vote.

Please.

Go out and vote.

By the way, voters?

Voters?

89% of likely voters said schools should fully inform parents of what their children are being taught in the classroom.

The explicit books, 85% were opposed to them.

So,

what do we, what is our guest name?

I can't remember.

I'm sorry.

Jim.

Jim, how are you, sir?

Good, Glenn.

Good to hear your voice.

Good to hear from you.

Listen, you run the clinic, refresh my memory, up in Buffalo, right?

And you were hit right after Roe versus Wade was overturned.

Correct.

And we have, go ahead.

No, go ahead.

You had, you had, what happened to you exactly?

We had,

we've been, we were firebound, multiple perpetrators,

Molotov cocktails, half a million dollars of damage.

James Redvantage scripted and scrolled inside of the building, taking responsibility for it.

Yeah.

And of course, the DOJ has been all over it.

The FBI,

what have you heard from them since this happened?

this summer?

The DOJ,

the FBI, they've not only abdicated their responsibility to provide equal justice under the law, they're now going on the attack.

Character assassination is their next step relative to Christian pro-life people.

So there have been over 70 attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers alone across the country, ours being the worst.

And they have done nothing.

They are choosing not to make arrests.

Glenn.

And that's why we had to file a lawsuit against the police department to get our video back so we can actually see it.

They're refusing to let us even see it.

This is dysfilming.

So, I mean, but the AMA is there, right?

Because your doctors and your nurses, I'm sure the AMA is all over you guys saying, How can we help protect you?

Oh, right.

Yeah, the FBI, just like the FBI is

the security firm for the abortion industry, the AMA is the propaganda arm for the abortion industry.

They're not actually interested in medical ethics anymore.

They're interested in social

redevelopment.

But the only way that the

left, if you will, will change society is through

dismemberment, death, and essentially mutilation.

That's their idea of social change.

Our idea of social change is from the heart out.

We believe all people are made in the image of God.

and deserving of blessing and protection from the womb to the tomb.

And the only way you can change society is by changing people's hearts.

You know, and

that's totally foreign to people

who want to change society by destroying it and anybody who stands in their way.

God bless you.

God bless you, everybody that works with you and is in your industry.

I pray for your safety and thank you for softening my heart just a little bit with your message here.

Because

sometimes my heart starts to harden a bit, but thank you for that, Jim.

God bless you.

We'll follow up again.

The Glenn Bach program.

That amazing?

Wake up.

It's happening in your country.

As you go to your day-to-day life, it's so incredibly important that you hold on to your identity and everything that that means.

Cyber criminals trade not only in what you have, but also in who you are.

And it's your job not to let them get that far.

Your best bet when it comes to protecting your identity is having Life Lock there to help you.

You know, I'm going to say something outrageous.

Get off the internet.

Shut it down.

Get rid of your computers.

So there are some real answers on today's show in

hour number two and hour number three.

This is hour number one if you happen to be

listening in the normal order.

Thank you so much for joining us.

I want to give you a roadmap today.

And the roadmap is just a, I'm just going to drop a pin on where we are today and where we're headed.

Just told you about the slippery slope and the things that are happening to your family and what the DOJ is doing about it, which is

worse than nothing.

Now let me talk to you a little bit about something that came up over the weekend and I have been trying to figure it out and talk to some experts.

It took me a couple of days to get to a place to where I could really explain it to you.

One of the things that's happening in the market is you've got two big banks, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse, Suisse, that are about to default, or at least it looks like it.

Let me take you back in history.

Back in March 2020, right at the dawn of the COVID-19 panic, some interesting things happened on Wall Street.

March 9th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2,000 points.

That's more than a 10% crash in a single day.

At the time, it was one of the largest single-day declines in the U.S.

history of stocks.

More than $1.8 trillion was wiped out from the U.S.

pensions and retirement funds in a single day.

March 10th, the very next day, the Federal Reserve began making emergency loans to what were considered to be systematically important banks, that is, banks that are just too big to fail.

Now it's important to remember that we didn't learn about these emergency loans made during March of 2020, just as the WHO and the CDC were declaring a pandemic.

We didn't learn about those loans until two years later because the Fed isn't, they're no longer required to tell you who they're making loans to or for how much until two full years after it makes the loans.

So they say that's not to make sure that nobody is panicking.

Well, investors, if they knew in real time these banks needed cash, it would cause a run on the banks.

So for example, on March 9th, the Dow lost 2,000 points and more than 10% of its value.

So, on March 10th, and we know this now because two years have passed, the U.S.

Federal Reserve made $112 billion in emergency loans to 24 banks.

Stocks rebounded slightly, but then the first deaths started being reported from COVID at retirement homes.

Trump canceled the international travel, and within a couple of days, stocks were down another 1,500 points, shedding $4 trillion in wealth from the portfolios of Americans in just a couple of days.

For its part, the Fed continued lending, distributing a total of $1 trillion,

$1 trillion in emergency loans to banks in just a six-day period.

Remember, this is two weeks into the pandemic, well before businesses were shut down.

At this point,

All that had really happened to the economy was that stocks, you know, the forward-looking investment vehicle, were declining.

But this was enough for the Fed to print $1 trillion in new currency and loan it out to the banks considered too big to fail.

Not just our banks.

No, no, not just the U.S.

banks.

Some of the largest borrowers in the past 20 years from emergency loans from our Federal Reserve have been foreign banks and investment firms.

Nomura Securities out of Japan, BNC, Peribus, the French bank, Barclays Barclays Bank out of the UK.

All of these are the largest borrowers from the Fed.

So

was the largest Swiss bank Credit Suisse?

The largest Swiss bank Credit Suisse,

were they on that list?

Oh yeah.

Just in six days from March 10th to March 16th, 2020, Credit Suisse, requested and was granted $50 billion in emergency loans, more than 7% of the total that the Fed had loaned to 24 banks.

But that was COVID, right?

Now, it may seem odd that the central bank of the United States needed to loan the largest Swiss bank $50 billion in just a few days.

Don't they have their own central bank?

But let's just chalk it up to yet another COVID emergency.

We had to do something.

We had to bail out the largest banks in Japan, Switzerland, UK, France.

I mean, it was a pandemic.

So now, fast forward to 2022.

All those banks got their COVID bailout.

In January 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a new all-time high.

So clearly, the bailouts worked, and the banks made all this money.

The banks were able to recover and get past the pandemic, right?

I mean, those trillions in loans to banks skyrocketed inflation and, you know, added to the currency circulation.

And inflation is is defined by, you know, too much currency, too much money chasing too few goods.

But we saved the banks, right?

We restored the stock market and set ourselves out to a

record recovery.

Well, yesterday, Credit Suisse, flagged as the too big to fail bank by the U.S.

Federal Reserve, their stock hit an all-time low.

They shed more than 65%

of its value, losing 20% of its value in one day.

Worse, investors are effectively betting now that

credits Suisse will go belly up next year.

We know this because of, I hate to bring this word up, credit default swaps.

I'm not going to get all big short on you, but this is

when you have the bonds and you think, uh-oh, I think we might lose, the bank might go out.

I buy an insurance policy.

Okay.

Credit default and I swap.

I swap what I'm holding.

I give it to you and I get the insurance money.

Okay.

Credit default swaps.

It's a way to bet on the down.

It's horrible.

But now...

30%, it went up.

The price

to insure went up 25%

yesterday.

Yesterday.

30% of people are now betting that Credit Suisse is going to collapse.

So what's going on?

Why would it collapse?

Again,

I'm not going to go into all of this stuff.

I just need you to understand the big points, and you will understand.

This will take your breath away.

Again, remember we all talked about credit default swaps and derivatives.

Oh, derivatives.

Oh, that's horrible.

Without getting into all of that, remember when we said

that the global

derivatives market after 2008 started going back up again.

And it surpassed what happened in 2008.

And the global derivatives market was about $100 trillion.

And we were like, $100 trillion?

That's horrible.

And we raised the alarm.

They haven't learned anything.

In fact, it's gotten worse.

Then it rose to $500 trillion just a couple of years ago.

And we raised the alarm again.

Any idea

where the derivatives market is right now?

After two years of pandemic, two years of Biden inflation, and after stocks have lost 20% of their value since January,

where's the derivative market?

One

quadrillion dollars.

No way out.

One quadrillion.

That's one thousand trillion dollars.

That's what's held by the 24 largest banks in the world.

$1,000 trillion.

You haven't even begun to feel the pain of what these people have done.

Derivatives have been around since the 1920s, but we have gone insane.

Now,

last year, when a private wealth fund defaulted, it cost the global banks more than $11 billion in derivatives losses.

More than $5 billion was absorbed by Credit Suisse Bank.

That's nearly half the global losses.

Of of one firm

that just had 11 billion.

We have one quadrillion.

Now,

if I'm you,

I could easily say it's a German bank or a Swiss bank, and it's not my problem.

But it is your problem because it is your dollar, your currency provided by your Federal Reserve.

Why are there not people standing in front of the Federal Reserve demanding answers and holding signs up?

One quadrillion dollars.

Where does inflation come from?

You think it's all government spending?

Collectively, since the Fed started emergency lending operations in September of 2019, and note for you conspiracy theorists out there, September of 2019 was five full months before there was a single positive COVID case in the U.S.

And we were talking about it in September of 2019.

The foreign banks have collectively borrowed $6 trillion

from the Federal Reserve.

Now here's the funny thing.

$6 trillion has already gone out.

One quadrillion dollars.

If the the Federal Reserve decides to lend Credit Suisse another $500 billion

today or tomorrow to bail itself out of whatever mess it's in,

you,

the one who's actually paying for this, you won't know for another two years.

Because under Dodd-Frank, you know, the one that was going to fix everything, the Fed's reporting requirements

now allow for a two-year delay.

So if we are bailing out Germany and Switzerland today,

make sure you tune into this show on October 4th, 2024

to find out what it cost you.

Genustell.

Welcome to the

Glembeck program.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I don't relish it.

Really?

You don't?

There's not a part of you that relishes it.

There's got to be some part of you.

You just do it often enough that I can't imagine you don't like it.

You bear a lot of bad news.

A lot of bad news.

A lot.

No.

In fact, I was sick to my stomach today when I came in and was going through all the show prep.

I was just sick to my stomach.

Too much.

Too much at once.

Yeah.

You know, the overwhelm the system thing comes to mind.

You know, there's just too much to deal with right now.

Right.

Well, but

the key is to motivate you to do

a few things.

One,

Make sure you're going out and vote.

You're voting.

You're getting everybody you know to get out and vote.

It has to be stopped at the ballot box.

It has to be stopped at the ballot box.

So you have a chance to take over the House and the Senate.

And it has to be done.

It has to be done.

We are on

a death spiral now that is extraordinary.

And things like the AMA are being weaponized.

And, you know, you don't come back from that easily.

And

there's something else that I want to talk to you about that we can do.

And also, I'm going to give you some information

on what you can do financially.

We'll give that to you also in hour three.

But some real things that you

just don't dismiss.

Please don't dismiss.

Three things that you can do.

And they need to happen now.

We have Chad Robicho coming on in just a second.

He is a remarkable guy.

He has found mass graves.

Well, he hasn't found them, but he is verifying the mass graves

in

Ukraine.

Looks like war crimes are being committed.

I don't know what we do with this.

You know,

I feel horrible because this is the situation we were in in World War II where you're like, okay, so atrocities are happening and they seem to be happening big time, but

how can we get involved in this and make it better and only make it worse?

I mean, I guess that's the line they're trying to walk, you know, with giving a bunch of money and weapons to Ukraine to have them fight it for us.

But I just, you wonder how long Russia is going to sit there and say, oh, well, sure, that missile was built by the United States, but since someone else pressed the button, I think we're okay with it.

Just doesn't seem like the type of thing Vladi is going to sit back and say, ah, this makes a lot of sense to me.

Especially as he gets more desperate.

The more it works, the more desperate he gets.

The Democrats are desperate in Georgia.

I

sincerely question the timing of this.

But

Herschel Walker is in trouble with his son.

Uh, and we'll talk about that later on in the program as well.

The Glenn Back program.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he doesn't exist.

That's a line from a movie character, but it is profound and absolutely true.

And now he's going a step further.

You know what?

These things aren't that bad.

Pornography is a scourge in this country.

It tears families apart.

It ruins marriages.

It negatively changes the way young men see women as they enter in the world of adulthood.

And it's everywhere.

It's absolutely everywhere.

Hey everybody!

NATO just told us yesterday that there's a missing Russian sub.

That's great because it's the world's most advanced submarine and it has something called Poseidon missiles.

Wait until you hear what they do.

This is great.

We...

NATO might have wanted to keep an eye on that sub a little bit more than maybe you were.

No, we were watching it.

Did you fall asleep?

It just didn't disappear.

It kind of went chugga chugga chugga chugga out of the harbor.

How'd you miss that?

Anyway,

we have that and Chad Robicho, who is the founder and CEO of Mighty Oaks.

He is also the co-founder of Save Our Allies.

He is

a remarkable man who has been working on the front lines in Afghanistan, now in Ukraine, trying to save people, get people out.

I asked him, where the hell is all of our money going in Ukraine?

There's a Pulitzer Prize just waiting to be picked up from anybody who actually wants to go do that and look into that money.

And what is happening on the front lines?

He witnessed last week mass graves.

of war crimes.

Chad joins us in 60 seconds.

Chad, welcome to the program, sir.

How are you?

Good.

Is this Glenn?

Yes, you're on.

How are you, sir?

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Thanks for having me on, Glenn.

You bet.

Where are you right now?

I am down in the Woodlands, Texas.

Okay, good, good, good.

You're home.

I'm home.

I saw you about four weeks ago, and you had just come from the front lines over in Ukraine.

And I said, what are you seeing?

And you said, well, I'm not seeing really any significant American relief.

And I'm not.

No.

And that was the same on this trip, Glenn.

And it's really

not only sad and unfortunate.

It needs to be addressed.

I mean, there is no congressional oversight on this money.

This money is going into a black hole.

And in any country in the world, it would be

bad.

I mean, people are people, and governments are corrupt, and that's going to end up where it shouldn't.

And the money is not ending up where it's going.

It's U.S.

taxpayers' dollars, millions of dollars.

And not only that,

it's being sent because it's needed.

It's needed to save lives and restore humanity.

And it's not being used for that.

So do you think that's us, or do you think that's them or a combination of the two?

I think it's a combination of the two.

You know, I've been getting a lot of slack from people like, why are you over in Ukraine helping?

Ukraine's a corrupt country.

I'm like, well, you know where else is corrupt?

Washington, D.C.

And,

you know, governments are corrupt around the world.

Certainly, Ukraine has had a history of corruption,

and it's been a hotbed of money laundering and things like that.

But so has Washington, D.C.

And the fact that this money is not being audited or accounted for

or

has any kind of oversight just leaves room for corruption both in Ukraine and Washington, D.C.

And I don't think it's, I think it would not be difficult at all.

We have the embassy back in Ukraine now.

It would not be difficult to have correct congressional oversight over these funds and make sure they go to the right place.

It's needed.

I do believe the money is needed there.

I know there's not everyone agrees with that, but

I believe we should be supporting these people, not in a realm of the money that we are giving them.

I think that was too big of a blank check.

And

a lot can be done with a lot less money.

But it actually has to get to where it belongs.

And

I just, as Mighty Oaks, and you know, Mercury One, you guys helped us help us financially, Glenn.

And we just brought $20,000 in medical supplies to special operations on the front line.

When I say medical supplies, IFACs, individual first aid kits, they go in as troops because they don't have them.

And they're like, please give us anything.

So not only did we bring $20,000 worth of IFACs to give this Special Forces unit, but we brought an ER travel doctor who trains Army Special Forces medics.

We brought him with us to teach them how to use that.

And that's something that we did.

We did that trip for maybe, it cost us $40,000 to do that trip.

And they were so thankful for that.

They were like, that's life-saving training that we were able to give them.

And meanwhile, billions of dollars isn't reaching them.

Why can't those billions of dollars go to things like that?

Yeah, because it's going through government

and dirty hands every step of the way.

You're also delivering something else along with the medical care, are you not?

That's right.

We, you know, Mighty Oaks does.

For U.S.

service members, we've done over, you know, over 400,000 active duty U.S.

service members with our spiritual resiliency program.

And in 2016, we decided to bring this to our allied troops around the world.

We went to Ukraine before in 2017 and 2018 to do this.

And so now we're back there on the front lines.

And we go there.

A typical day will be, we'll give them some classes that are non-lethal aid, like bailout procedures for the personal safety, medical classes.

We'll give them resources and supplies.

And then we'll give them resources that are spiritual.

We give out the audio Bible sticks to them and some other resources to help work on their mental and spiritual health.

And at the end of the day, once we build a rapport with them all day, we're able to talk to them veteran to veteran, combat veteran to combat veteran, peer to peer, about spiritual resiliency and mental resiliency.

That way they can stay in the fight to protect their homes and their families and their freedom.

And, you know, we know from our experience as war fighters, and you know, after 20 years of war that we just went through, that there's a lot of things you can have on the battlefield, but nothing's more essential than having a strong spiritual foundation.

And we are able to share the gospel of Christ, you know, with these guys.

Chad, tell me about

the

war crimes that you witnessed.

You know, I've been seeing this since February, since we've been going there, Glenn, but nothing worse than the last two trips

because I'm getting further, I'm getting more into the front lines.

I just was in a Zoom.

I was two hours east of a Zoom, which is pretty much Russia, and that had been occupied for six months.

And some of the areas we saw, and I'll get to the mass raise, but one of the things that I think is important to know is every, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, every home, every hospital, every school, every structure,

It's almost impressive, as somebody that's been in combat, impressive to say they hit every single structure.

And these aren't military targets.

These are civilians.

By the way, we're showing some videos on Blaze TV right now.

Some of them are graphic, so look away.

But I've seen these earlier.

The apartment buildings.

Yeah, the apartment buildings.

I mean, what you're saying is true.

There's really nothing left.

nothing it's it's all rubble and you say that's different than than usual in in wars like this

absolutely i mean you i mean i mean even the taliban isn't disparable i mean the taliban attacks civilians you know it's terrorism they want to they want to instimidate people but this isn't intimidation this is i mean you're talking like those Some of those buildings in the videos you've seen look like two buildings.

It's one building.

It's a five-story building blown out to the ground.

And this was women women and children and civilians living in it.

And this wasn't one that was accidental.

This is every apartment building in the area had

an airdropped missile right into the roof of that apartment building that blew it to the ground and killed thousands of civilians.

And this isn't being reported.

I'm happy you're allowing me to give this news right now, but it's not being reported.

And

then, you know, you so this is again, this is not

this is not a collateral damage.

This is not,

you know, indiscriminate fire.

This is direct targeting of civilian

complexes and civilians, which is a war crime.

And you know, and the international courts, the ICC, the International Criminal Court in the UN needs to be stepping in because this is not, should never be allowed, regardless of Ukraine, Russia, political sides, like who none of that.

This should never be allowed in this point of our civilization to attack civilians this way.

And after we spent the day, I spent I was with

the chief Fadim, who's the chief of the entire law enforcement for all of Ukraine.

He'd be like over, essentially over the FBI,

CIA, everything for all of Ukraine.

And he was sent there by the government to make sure they secured a Zoom after they recaptured it.

So we were with him.

As I drove to meet him,

myself and my partner are driving in this combat area to meet him, and two MiG fighters flew over.

They did a gun run, dropped bombs over.

I've been in a lot of war zones and never had

air strike, air, enemy air over us.

I mean, we always controlled the air.

So that was kind of a pretty crazy scenario for me.

We had a hind helicopter fly by.

We get to the front and we're with them while they're fighting.

We're getting shelled and rocketed within 100 meters of us and the small arms fire.

And you've probably seen some of the videos I sent with, you know, we probably counted about, I probably counted about 60 Russian soldiers.

They were like 18, 19, 20 years old.

It's sad to know that many of them probably don't even know why they were there.

And they were dead or dying.

And one of the things I did see of the Ukrainians, as we were moving forward and they were dying Russian soldiers, they were rendering aid.

And that shows who's the good guys because these guys are rendering aid.

Meanwhile, these Russians had occupied their homes and killed their family members for six months, and the Ukrainians are still rendering aid.

I thought that was that really stood out to me.

Who's on the right side?

I want to play a clip from you out on the field where you're talking about mass graves.

Here it is.

This area is

1,200

people were missing from this area.

They found 1,100 bodies in this area, and they were burned before the buried.

So, try you can tell they're tried to destroy the evidence of the mass killings.

Most of the people were, their hands were tied, some in front of their backs, some behind their backs,

in executed style.

So, we're not just talking about ballistic missiles and shelling, which we've seen.

I've seen firsthand driving through cities that are just leveled to rebel civilian targets, civilian neighborhoods.

But we're talking beyond that just with indirect fire.

And

this is not

indiscriminate fire because we drove through areas and me and my teammate are driving through like they strategically hit every structure, every house, every building, every school, every hospital.

But now beyond that,

once they take these areas, they're bringing these civilians out here in the woods, tying their hands behind their back

and executing them, burning their bodies to hide the evidence, putting them in mass graves.

You saw these

people with their hands tied behind their backs.

You saw this yourself?

I saw it myself, Gwen.

Yeah.

And, you know,

there were two mass graves that we were brought to.

One was 474 people.

They counted specifically.

The other was estimated about 1,100 people.

And mostly, all civilians, mostly, because most of the men would have have been out fighting, most of them were women, a lot of children.

And

it appeared what they were using the graves for, when I say 1,100 people, I don't think they killed 1,100 people one time, but I think over six months they did was, you know, as they arrested people, they brought them there,

you know, probably bound and handcuffed and then and then would have killed them on that side, just pushed them in as a place of disposal.

That's, that would be my, I don't have evidence of that, but that'd be my interpretation of from what I saw it happen.

And then as Ukraine came in and tried, and was retaking that area, and it appeared they tried to burn the bodies to maybe hide the evidence.

But, you know, burning bodies is harder than it sounds.

You got to use a lot of fuel.

And so then they tried to bury it, and then they vacated the area.

When I say they vacated, they must have left in a hurry because they left 74 tanks in this area.

Chad, so what do we, what do we do?

You know,

this, to me, Glenn, this is a

this only gets worse.

Russia's losing, so I think Putin has to show strength.

So I think the only scenarios is that he's going to escalate and do something radical, even more radical than this.

Or, you know, you have the other scenarios.

You have Zawinski, who can't, because Zawinski, in the eyes of Ukraine, they're winning.

And as they're winning, he's not going to go to the negotiation table.

So it would also require Putin to do something that would force him to negotiation table.

But I think what we could do as a world, and I don't mean as America, but as a world, is NATO needs to accept Ukraine in the NATO,

and or the UN and the International Criminal Court needs to recognize these war crimes and these human rights violations and hold Putin accountable.

And that's what the UN's for.

That's what the International Criminal Court is for,

for these exact scenarios.

But we're not seeing them take action.

So what we could do, you and I, is exactly what we're doing right now, is exposing this.

I believe if I would have not leaked this information in the Fox,

if I would have reported it right to the United States government, it would have been swept away because they don't want it to be known because if it's known, then they have to do something about it.

And so we need to make sure that it's reporting from the front lines.

Unfortunately, journalists can't make it to a lot of these areas because it's so volatile.

And I get that, but the reporting

needs to be exposed.

And

our government needs to be held accountable for these billions of dollars so that Ukraine could, if we are going to give, if our government is going to decide to give this money, then it needs to go where it belongs.

Again, I think you and I both agree that this much money makes the problem worse.

But

if we are going to give it, then give it and have good oversight.

If we're going to have an international criminal court system, then use it for times like this.

The UN, this is what it's for.

This is what the U.N.

is for.

And I also believe NATO, at this point, NATO should accept Ukraine.

And by the way, in the last, I think just a couple of days ago, President Zawinski applied again for

Ukraine to be accepted into NATO.

Chad, thank you so much for doing everything that you do.

I know your heart is in the right place.

I know who you serve.

And

I can't imagine what this does for somebody who went through PTSD to be over there again and seeing these things.

So I appreciate your service.

to him and to us.

So thank you so much, Chad.

Thank you, Gay.

And God bless.

And thanks for all your support, too.

We couldn't do it without you.

You got it.

All right.

The pain that you're carrying around every day.

What are you going to do when it's a thing of the past?

What kinds of things are you going to go back and do?

You haven't been able to do maybe in a couple of years because pain was always standing in your way.

I can tell you what I went back to doing, painting.

I can paint again.

Yesterday,

I started a commission for somebody, and I don't know why I said yes to it.

It's the hardest painting.

It's about Corey Tenboom and her sister.

And

maybe, I hope it will be a beautiful painting and inspiring, but holy cow, it's been hard.

I've spent like six hours painting yesterday.

I could not have held a paintbrush just five years ago for more than probably two minutes, literally.

This has helped me so much.

Feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

So what do we do?

I mean, what do we do?

I mean, I don't feel comfortable.

I don't want to go to war.

We've had enough.

I don't want to go to war.

And

I don't trust our own Pentagon to execute a war with this president in a way that would not make things just 100,000 times worse.

Yeah.

I mean, our first responsibility, of course, is to our own country and our own citizens.

And nuclear war with Russia

is negative for those individuals.

It would be suboptimal for our citizens.

So you have to avoid that.

Right.

And this is, of course, an advantage for Russia in this conflict because, and the reason probably why they're threatening all of these things all the time.

They know we've told them.

I mean, Biden's told them that we're not going to war.

We're not going to use nuclear weapons ourselves.

We're not going to do any of these things.

Now,

if this thing escalates, who knows what happens?

And this is why I think it's undersold as a priority of our attention right now.

It is one of those things that could swing out of control relatively quickly.

And

the bad part of this is the more successful we are in helping Ukraine, the more desperate Putin gets and the more likely this stuff happens.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And the fact that we are now shipping natural gas or LP over to Ukraine and to Europe to make up for the deficit of those now downed gas lines.

It only makes us a bigger target as well.

I'm going to tell you something I don't think anybody saw from Granholm, our Secretary of Energy.

I don't think anybody was really paying attention to what she did last week.

We were, and we'll tell you about that.

And the missing submarine just kind of disappeared.

NATO, we're watching it, but it disappeared.

Did it?

Or were you not really watching it as closely as you should have?

My job is to warn you of things that are coming.

I don't think it is to

tell you how to fix it.

Although,

well, let's talk about it this.

Are you a long-term thinker or a short-term thinker?

I try to be a long-term thinker.

Many times, particularly at meals, I'm a short-term thinker.

Yes, okay, me too.

Ice cream is in front of me.

Very short thinker.

Goldfish thinking, okay?

But

if you're a short-term thinker,

this next segment, your mood's not going to improve much.

If you're a long-term thinker, in half an hour, your mood is going to improve a great deal.

Because I don't have an answer.

Yesterday, I several times gave you a warning about something.

And lo and behold, an answer appears to show you the way to make that happen.

And he'll be joining me in just about 30 minutes.

So don't go anywhere.

Now, do you ever remember merchant marines?

I was a merchant marine.

When I was a kid, I didn't even know what that was.

What the hell is a merchant marine?

Is that some sort of an offshoot of the marines?

No, it was just somebody who was working merchant ships,

merchant convoys.

What are those?

Those are just like the big, you know, those big, huge ships that come in with all the, you know, cargo on the back of it.

The cargo ships.

Those are merchant marines that are running those things.

Okay.

We had a problem with merchant ships back in the 1930s.

As things progress with the Russian war,

the more this thing echoes the buildup of World War II.

I think we're somewhere between 1936 and 1938, the invasion of the Rhineland and the invasion of Poland.

But it's interesting because headlines this week have shown that a cabinet-level secretary of the United States has called for merchant convoys and armed escorts for the LNG ships going from from the U.S.

to Europe.

It's natural gas or propane.

Okay.

It was the Secretary of Energy asking the Secretary of Defense to provide increased security for private naval vessels.

Did you know that?

Now, they didn't use convoy or escorts,

but just want to make sure that the Pentagon is providing some security for these carriers that are on their way to Europe and they need increased security.

Now, how are we going to increase security for liquid natural gas with 80,000 tons of displacement?

And by law, they can carry no armaments, no defensive system of any kind.

See, this is why Nordstream was so serious.

Because it's a private infrastructure.

And if the Russians claim claim we did it, then they can claim, well, our private infrastructure is a target as well.

So the naval responsibility for all of our shipping security in the Atlantic Ocean falls to a carrier group, a brand new carrier, the most sophisticated carrier ever, the Gerald R.

Ford carrier group.

You know, it doesn't, Gerald R.

Ford doesn't instill confidence in me.

Now, this has been at sea trials for the last two years.

It's the newest of our character, of our carriers.

And it's been, some would say, plagued with issues for their launch system, the electromagnetic launch system, the elevators, the radar system.

It comes out of Norfolk, Virginia.

So.

Riddle me this.

Is it a coincidence that suddenly and a few months early based on previous announcement, the Gerald R.

Ford has suddenly been declared, oh, it's combat ready.

Oh, no,

you know what?

We're going to deploy it, you know, what time is it?

Soon in the Atlantic for the very first time.

When did they announce that?

Literally the day after Secretary Granholm said we need increased security in the Atlantic.

Suddenly, you know, the launching system and the radar and all of the...

No, no, it works.

It's miraculous.

You know what?

It was just a light bulb that was out.

We just had to switch that one.

It's like a Christmas tree.

We switched that one light bulb and everything went on.

It's fine.

Fixed the one light bulb and all of a sudden the missiles hit their targets.

Right, right.

Best guess is this is all quietly and informally the U.S.

Navy conducting...

training exercises and they're going out and they're just coincidentally they're going to just be doing a lot a lot of these things, you know, right up next to the, you know, the natural gas ships.

That's it.

U.S.

Navy will open up dedicated channels with LNG shipping companies, and they will proactively report

any security concerns or unknown radar or sub contacts.

And it won't be surprising if Shell and Chevron and Exxon all quietly decide, you know what, we're going to sail right next to that

carrier group.

We just, I mean, it's great.

We, you know, we have things to see.

Ocean's a big thing, and you don't see much, so we're going to do that.

Just watch the movie Greyhound.

It's on Apple.

Tom Hanks was in it about the Allied convoy running through German U-boats.

See, that's how they get it.

It's on Apple.

You can watch it.

It's really good.

But that's how it was happening in World War II.

Submarines were coming out and sinking all of the things that we were sending to Europe.

Which brings me to another coincidence.

Oh man,

you're just not going to believe this.

But one of Russia's nuclear-powered submarines has reportedly vanished from its Arctic harbor.

And NATO says it's concerned it could be gearing up to test its advanced weapons systems.

Now, it's in the Atlantic.

And it's a submarine.

Pay no attention to the last story because it's really great.

Advanced systems.

In fact, the system

is

called

the

you're going to love this.

It is

the Poseidon.

Yeah, yeah, it's called the Poseidon, the missile system,

but it is, it is known as

the Armageddon weapon.

I love that.

So what is it?

Well, the submarine is

top shelf, brand new,

and it has the Poseidon torpedo, which is a nuclear torpedo.

And this torpedo is kind of strong.

I mean, just to put it into perspective, put it into perspective for you.

Fat Man, the Fat Man nuclear bomb dropped on Nagasaki by the United States, that was 21 kilotons.

Remember that?

Vaporize.

Whoa.

Okay.

21 kilotons.

So

a megaton is 1,000 kilotons.

So what we dropped with Fat Man was

21 kilotons.

So it would be 21,000

megatons, right?

I think

it's a lot, okay?

It's a lot.

21 kilotons,

a megaton is a thousand kilotons.

The estimates on the weapon of the apocalypse have ranged from two

to one hundred megatons.

100

megatons.

Now,

that's a lot.

That's a lot.

But here's the thing.

They're not missiles like you know them to be missiles that just go up into the sky and then vaporize a city.

These do something special.

They're Poseidon.

And so they are like drones, except not in the sky, they're underwater.

And these drones can go down, be launched from the sub, and then go down and sit on the bottom of the ocean, let's say by a shoreline.

And

one of them would do it, but you they could launch many of these from one sub and they all sit up and down the shoreline and then they wait for the signal.

And when the sub gives them the signal, they blow them up

and

it's capable of creating a 1600-foot tidal wave.

Now,

the bad news is wipe a lot of people out.

The good news is, in some ways, I guess man-made climate change, you know, affecting the oceans.

When man puts something down that'll, you know, it's like 7,000 degrees instantly,

going to wipe out the shorelines.

I'm against that kind of climate change for you.

I am too.

Yeah.

I am too.

I am too.

So they lost that submarine.

It's out there someplace.

Well, they watch it.

Well, they were watching it.

They were watching it.

Then it disappeared.

I love that.

Coming from NATO, when they say, and this is a quote, it disappeared.

I don't think it disappeared.

I'd like you to try for another word because I don't think it disappeared.

I think you weren't watching it.

We were all turned around.

There was a cake.

There was a birthday that day.

Everyone was singing happy birthday.

It just disappeared.

Candles blew out.

We turned around.

It was gone.

And that new employee, Vladimir, was, you know,

he had a happy birthday, but we did lose the sub.

So I'd like to think that maybe this submarine is out just,

you know, just trolling the waters looking for the natural gas that we're shipping.

But

that's not what it does best.

Not what it does best.

So hopefully their systems will work as well.

as our catapult on the USS Gerald Ford.

You know, it's funny.

I feel like people people are acting crazy all the time.

This is just a general, you know, general sense of the world right now is that people are acting crazy.

Part of that might be the craziness of the world, right?

Like people are really

unsure as to what the future holds,

unsure how to stop it, unsure how to react.

There's nothing

solid right now.

Right.

Whoa, it's almost like everything that you thought was solid is liquid.

It's true.

You don't know, you don't know any norms anymore.

People are afraid to have conversation

because they don't know.

Am I going to say something that somebody all of a sudden is offended and then my life is over?

It's really not a good thing.

But the good news is we've gone through this before.

The world has gone through things like this before.

None usually and well, but

in the end, good things happen.

In the end, after it's all over, good things happen.

You just got to get to the other side so now how do you do that

oh I've got the number

one thing you have to do coming up in about 15 minutes standby

these days 71% of employees in the marketplace say the cost of living is higher than what they actually are making in take-home pay 71%

okay even if you're not part of the 71% you're still swimming around in the same economy.

Things are going to get worse before they get better.

Maybe a lot worse, but they will get better.

But you want to make sure that you don't lose everything while things are getting worse.

You need to be on a solid financial footing.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Couple things in the headlights.

Loretta Lynn has died.

She was 90 years old.

Cubans, listen to this one, America.

Cubans are protesting over power loss.

So they're out in the streets demanding freedom because

they're tired of losing power and why why isn't it back on after

the hurricane?

They're protesting for freedom.

Coming up in a minute, I've shared a lot of stuff.

If you've missed any, any of this podcast today, it is an important

road sign

sort of program, mile marker, if you will, to show you where we really are as a nation.

Go and find this podcast either at Blaze TV.

You can listen to it and download it anytime you want.

Or

you can find it today's podcast, wherever you get your podcast.

But you don't have to be a hero to fix things.

You don't have to be a hero.

You know, a lot of people think, oh, it's overwhelming.

I don't know what to do.

I'm telling you, the smallest things that you can do.

could save your life and save your country.

How's your relationship with god

are you striving to be more honest and more clean as a person

get rid of all of the crappy things in your life all the things that you do and you're like i shouldn't be doing this get rid of all of them

And then just start making the statements that you know have always been true.

You don't have to be a hero.

You don't have to change.

In fact, to save the country, you must not change.

You must reestablish the things that you've always known are true, that God exists.

God is good.

My family is sacred.

My spouse and I, we are the ultimate authority, not the government when it comes to our kids.

You don't have to be for social justice.

You be for what you've always been.

If you break the law, you pay the penalty.

Justice is blind and my side, their side, anybody's side.

If you break the law, no one is above it.

You have to stand and just quietly speak and with conviction stand for the things that you were raised knowing are true.

The world can go to hell, but you don't have to go to hell with it.

You just have to remember who you are, who you were, and who you were born to be.

All right,

couple of answers.

One on the economy and one for life.

In fact, yesterday I said it is the most important thing to your survival.

I found a guy who happens to be on the show today that is going to talk about.

I want to talk to you about Sweatblock for a second.

This is a phenomenal product.

It is something that I use every single day, and I'm amazed by it.

I'm a guy that lives in Texas and it gets sweaty down here and I sweat a lot and it's not pretty.

It's not pretty.

And I've had problems with deodorants and everything working for me that work for a little while and then not work.

This is a deodorant stick sweat block that is really, really top of the line.

Even better is their sweat block wipes.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's going to tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Aka Charlie Sheen.

Only on Netflix, September 10th.

Got no room but a compromise.

We just came together, it's a good survival.

Standing straight in the full night,

it's a whole new day of time to rise.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Hello, America.

Today, in the first two hours of this broadcast, I've told you some things that are gravely concerning.

I gave you the signpost and the mile markers of where we are.

And America, you need to wake up now

these things that could never happen in America are happening this is reality

but I also told you at the beginning of the show that there was

the most important answer I could give you

and

if we all did this

You will you will protect your family yourself and your country

I'm going to give that with a special guest in 60 seconds.

Once in a while, somebody comes along and puts a new face on an old thing and you see it in a new light.

Up until now, you probably, you know, gone along with whatever a mobile company offered.

You know, they give you a good deal, that's great.

And it's probably not really that great of a deal all the time.

Usually a hassle to switch mobile companies.

Now, big mobile companies, I don't know if you are aware of this, but Verizon, for instance, gives a lot of money to Planned Parenthood.

I don't want a single dime of my money going towards abortions and defending abortions, not a dime.

That's why I have Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile not only doesn't send their things to like abortions, but they also don't send any of their profits to anything other than constitutional principles.

Things that

organizations that are defending freedom of speech, the right to life, They're big on that.

They're big on our schools and trying to stop all of this transgender stuff in our schools.

Max Lucato is with us now.

Max, how are you?

It's great to see you, Clan.

It's good to see you.

Thank you.

Max says he's a guy who writes books for people who don't read books.

And those people

read a lot of his books.

96 million copies of his books are in print, 56 languages worldwide.

He had just started a new podcast with a global pandemic.

He started a video check-in, a daily video check-in.

More than

that, that check-in is more than 42 million times people have checked in with it.

And he now has his Encouraging Word podcast, which is one of the top podcasts in religion and self-help.

And he's here because he has a new book called Help is Here.

Max and I were just talking off the air, and I want you to know, as a listener,

I think what Max is going to outline is

vitally important.

I don't believe in coincidence.

I have told you for a very long time that there's going to come a time when

you're going to need the spirit so close and you listen to the spirit so closely that when it says stop, turn around,

you will stop.

turn around and go the other way.

I've said that for 15 years.

Yesterday, I told you that time is here.

Yesterday, I think four times on the show, which is an unusual number for me, unless I really want to make sure people hear it.

Yesterday, I said,

you will not survive.

You will not survive what is coming without the constant companion of the Holy Spirit.

That's unusual for a public broadcaster to say, but I know it to be true.

Something I didn't know yesterday, because we booked this maybe a month or two ago,

that Max was coming, and I knew he was coming with a book.

And as I'm doing my show prep, I realize what the book is about.

Help is here.

Finding fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Welcome, Max.

I think you're supposed to be here today.

I'm just so excited, Glenn.

Number one, I'm always excited to see you.

I admire you, hold you in highest esteem, and deeply, deeply appreciate you.

Thank you.

I think you're such a crucial voice in our society.

And thank you for not giving up and for not throwing in the towel.

Nope.

Nope.

That ain't going to happen.

That's not going to happen.

Yeah.

So thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

And I'm just happy to be here to see you and to discuss the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

So it's weird because, as you said, you didn't say God.

you didn't say Jesus, you said the Holy Spirit.

Define what the Holy Spirit is.

Yeah, well, the Holy Spirit is the living presence of God on our planet today.

The Holy Spirit executes the will of God, just as Jesus did when Jesus was on the earth, and just as God the Father does

primarily prior to Christ.

And then Christ executed that will, and now the Holy Spirit is executing executing that will.

It's not quite that tidy.

You know, there's always overlap that our little minds cannot conceive of.

But it also

verifies truth.

Yes.

Yes.

And the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.

That was the promise of Christ.

The Holy Spirit is here to strengthen us, to convict us, to challenge us, to comfort us, to heal us.

And I think where you and I align so closely is that as we look back, especially over the last two or three hundred years

of world history and then the 300 years of our nation's history, there have been seasons in which we desperately needed societal renewal.

And those seasons came, Glenn, as a result of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, not as a result of a new policy, a new president, or a different change of leadership.

But there was a sovereign.

Even a church.

Even a church, absolutely.

Or not pastors.

Yeah.

But there was a supernatural.

We'd look at the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, even the Jesus movement that we recall from the late 60s or mid-60s into the early 70s.

There are these occasions in which God in his sovereignty says, I'm going to rescue my people.

And it's always right in the midst of or toward the end of a time of desperation.

And I think that's what you're saying.

We're desperate in need of a help.

So when I say, because it's definitely a prompting,

you don't survive without it.

And I've described it this way for 15 years, maybe 20 years.

Describe to somebody who's not all familiar with this,

what does that mean?

When you say you don't survive without him, you are spot on.

And just quickly, statistically, we see this, right?

Anxiety is off the charts.

The loneliest generation ever recorded is the millennial generation.

About 24% say they have zero friends.

During the season of life, you should have an abundance of friends and building families for the future.

One out of four say, I don't even have a friend.

The most alarming statistic is that suicides are up 33 percent since 1999, the highest they have been since World War II.

And so I think you're spot on, Glenn, and

we're in the midst of a devastation, but it has come kind of gradually.

You know, we still go out to dinner.

We still get up and get our kids off to school.

It's not like a bomb has gone off, but really it has.

It has.

A bomb has dropped upon us,

and people are either taking their lives or they're checking out emotionally all around us

and we're not aware of it.

And so it's an insidious attack that we're feeling.

It's stealth.

It's quiet.

It would almost be easier if we had, you know, an invader crossing our shores.

It would be much easier.

Yeah, because then we would have to be able to do that.

Look at the difference between 9-11

and today.

Yeah.

But now we're battling lethargy, we're battling depression, we're battling infidelity, and it's really taking its toll on us.

So, but to answer your question, this is the time that the Holy Spirit loves to flourish.

And the Holy Spirit comes as that invisible presence of God wherever he is invited to bring about healing and wholeness and fresh starts.

And this is really what we need.

And this was the promise of Christ on the night before his crucifixion.

He said, I must leave so that the Holy Spirit can come.

In other words, what you have had in me in the form of a physical body in the presence of a Messiah, I'm going to leave so that everybody from now on all over the planet can receive that same presence and power.

You have written

during the pandemic that, and I want to quote this, let this observation be included in the history books.

We did not know how to pray.

What does that mean?

Well, we didn't.

You mentioned that during the pandemic, I took on a job of a daily podcast, and at the end of each podcast, invited people to post their prayer needs.

And we would read over, we being my team, would read over those prayer needs.

They came from Connecticut to Cambodia, from all over the world.

By far and away, the most common statement was, I'm so discouraged.

I don't know how to pray.

Or I'm so weary, I can't find the words.

Or all I can do is sigh.

I think that's important because in the conversation about the Holy Spirit, one of his assignments is he takes our prayers and presents them before the tribunal of heaven.

He takes our groans, our utterings.

The Apostle Paul said, we do not know that for which we should pray.

And we really don't.

I mean, do we pray for healing or for heaven?

Do we pray for deliverance

or do we pray for

even death if you're a prisoner?

You know, we don't know exactly how to weather these storms.

The power of the Holy Spirit is that he takes when Glenn or Max can't even utter the right prayer, the Holy Spirit says,

I take over.

And I take that prayer and I take it and I present it before the presence of God in heaven, which I find so encouraging because that reminds me that the real power of prayer doesn't depend upon the way I pray or even I who pray, but upon the one who hears the prayer.

And that's what brings strength and help to people during tough times.

All right, so let me

have two questions on prayer.

One is outgoing and one is ingoing, and they both involve the Holy Spirit.

Let me get to that here in one minute.

First, let me tell you about Goldline.

This year, the Russell 3000 Index tracks the 3,000 largest U.S.

traded stocks.

It has lost $13 trillion in value.

That's trillion with a T.

You know,

we used

in a news story today

quadrillion with a Q.

That is the first time I've ever done a news story that quoted a number that was one quadrillion dollars.

That's the number that our 24 biggest banks now have in derivatives.

You remember that word in 2008?

It was under

100 trillion.

I think it was like $53 trillion in 2008.

It's one quadrillion now.

Could you please, please do your homework about diversifying what you have in the stock market?

But glad the stock market's up today.

Uh-huh.

It is.

It is.

Now might be a good time to diversify.

Take some of that and put that into land or gold and silver.

Let me tell you about Goldline.

When you buy a box of 20 graded historic $5 Indian gold coins, you'll get a five pack of the Maple Flex bar at no extra cost.

Five times 19 pieces in each Maple Flex bar equals 29, five free legal tender silver pieces with each qualified order.

so max um

uh

i pray differently than i think a lot of people pray i just I just talk to him and I can be doing anything, but I'm just talking to him.

And,

you know,

it's a very informal kind of prayer, but I see him as my buddy,

also my sovereign as well.

So different times, different things.

But

when it comes to the spirit,

sometimes

the way I know when the spirit is communicating what I have to do, it's clear to me when it is

something I really don't want to do.

You know, hey, no, I don't think that's right.

No, I got it.

I got it.

That little voice of, ah, that's probably not right is the prompt, I think, is the promptings of the spirit.

Yes.

When I'm lazy or I just want it to go my way.

You know what I mean?

So

how does the how does the

how can the average person

get that doesn't have that feeling yet?

How can they tell the difference between their voice and the Spirit's voice?

Because that's hard sometimes.

It is.

It is.

And I know

you're the one asking questions, but I'm so fascinated by your fascination with the Holy Spirit.

Why?

I don't know.

I just didn't expect us to be having this candid of a conversation.

And so I'd love to know your history.

I can give you a two-minute answer to your question.

Sure.

But at some point, I'd love to know.

I bet that everybody would love to give you a ton of questions.

I'll give you two minutes.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

So here's the key.

Voice and verse are the two words that work for me.

The Holy Spirit speaks through the verse, speaks through scripture.

As a preacher used to tell me as a boy growing up, when you open the Bible, God opens his mouth.

And I think there's truth in that.

For that reason, I do think it's important for every person to spend time with an open Bible and an open heart every day.

I know sometimes it's hard to understand the Bible, but I do believe that the Holy Spirit will help us.

What's amazing is when it's happening,

you know it because you'll understand it in a different way.

You'll read something you've read maybe a thousand times and you'll go,

Oh, wait a minute.

Yeah, yeah.

Or that scripture will be deposited in your mind or in your heart.

And as you're going through the day, the Holy Spirit will bring that scripture to mind and say, remember what you read this morning?

I'm with you always, even to the end of the age.

Oh, okay.

You were saying that to me.

Yes.

And so the verse.

And then also the voice.

I really believe that since you have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you, then you are a holy person on earth.

And

the voice you hear, and I know that phrase, the voices that we hear,

we play with it.

Everybody knows it.

But we've got these voices that say, wait a second, be careful, or watch what you're saying, or press forward, or green light.

You get these,

the Holy Spirit

requisitions.

our thought process and begins to guide us.

Now, the Holy Spirit will never, through an inner voice, say something that will contradict with the verse.

So the verse always outranks the voice.

But there are those times in which the voice and the verse work together, and that voice you hear inside you or that verse you've read today, they come together and you say, okay, there's God guiding me.

There's God guiding me.

People are, I think, often unaware of the promise of Scripture that God will guide us.

You don't have to go through this life without a GPS.

You'll screw.

I did.

You'll screw your life up six ways to Sunday until you just go, all right.

Yeah.

All right.

I spent my whole life going, I got it.

I got it.

Until you realize, I ain't got it.

I ain't got it.

I ain't got it.

Never stronger than that moment.

Yeah.

Can you give us a little context as to your history?

I was desperate for forgiveness, and I got baptized, and

it's true.

I mean, my whole life changed on that day, whole life changed on that day.

And I got married to a wonderful woman.

And

she called me one morning and

she said, I'm in a, I was just in a car accident.

Come get me.

And she hung up the phone.

This is before we had cell phones.

We couldn't afford a cell phone.

So we didn't have cell phones.

And I said, I'll be right there.

Click.

Hung up the phone.

Where?

Where?

Where are you?

And I'm praying about it.

I got to get there.

I got to get there.

And immediately I knew exactly where she was, but

I was new with the spirit and I knew better.

And so I kept driving that way.

And I'm like, no, it's too far.

It can't be.

And I'd turn around and I'd go back and I'd go another way.

She must be on this street.

She must be on this street.

And the whole time,

keep going keep going i got onto the highway i went through a toll and i drove about i don't know a hundred feet and i went this is too far she wouldn't have been this far and i turn around as it turns out she was about 200 feet ahead

and after that experience I really realized there is no such thing as a coincidence, A, so stop saying it's a coincidence.

And B,

if you listen and don't reject it, that voice will become strong.

It wants to help you.

It wants to help you.

That's true.

And it will speak to your life and help you on things that are beyond your understanding.

Also the little things too, but the things beyond your understanding.

Back with Max Lucato.

Help is here.

It's his new book.

I've asked Max Lucato to stay on with us for a few more minutes.

He has a book out.

It's brand new.

It came out a couple of weeks ago called Help is Here: Finding Fresh Strength and Purpose in the Power of the Holy Spirit.

You know, when you start talking about the Holy Spirit on commercial radio, program directors generally are like, Oh, God, would you stop talking?

But I don't think there is anything more important.

If you could just fix one thing, one thing that would change the world, it would be align yourself with the Holy Spirit and begin it today and start listening.

Because if you don't have that constant companionship, I don't think you're going to make it.

There's going to be too many close calls and too many things that

you'll get off path.

You've got to have that constant companionship.

Max, welcome back.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

So we were just talking off the air and I described, you know, where I think most Americans are, at least those who listen, and ask you to kind of

take the mic here for a second and speak directly to those who are worried about their country, worried about their children, worried about what is coming next and how to

deal with anger as well.

Yeah, yeah, and despair.

And despair.

Yeah, yeah.

Let me describe a situation and see if it sounds familiar.

Okay.

The Christian faith is in decline.

Spiritual indifference is everywhere.

Even though there are parts of the country where population is up 300 percent, church attendance is down

precipitously

over the prior 10 years.

And on the rare occasion that spirituality is discussed, it's quickly dismissed.

It's not in vogue.

The idea that there is a right and wrong is out of fashion.

And the idea that there is even an ultimate judgment

brings professors to mock the very possibility of it.

The whole idea sounds ancient and barbaric.

That's not good news.

But that's not recent news.

Because what I just described,

what I just described was the way that Presbyterian pastors were describing the United States in the year 1802.

1802.

Francis Asbury, after whom Asbury Seminary in Kentucky was named, he was a Methodist bishop.

He wrote this in 1794.

He said, in the American frontier, not one in 100 came here to get religion.

Everybody came to get good land.

And then there's a visiting Presbyterian missionary who in the same year, Andrew Fulton, wrote, all the newly formed towns in this western colony and there is no

representation of religious people.

In other words, the nation was struggling under a spiritual drought,

just like we are today.

But then, the reason I included that in the book is because the raindrops started to fall in the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Something broke out that historians have called the greatest religious revival in the history of our country.

It was called the Cane Ridge Revival.

There was a group of pastors back in the hills of Kentucky who committed themselves to pray prayers of desperation because the country was in such dire straits.

And so they began to pray together, and then they decided to begin having what they called Eucharist services in these small churches up in the hills.

One of those churches was called Cane Ridge and Cane Ridge was going to host the weekly Eucharist service and that brought people from other churches and they built a tent expecting that there would be 500 people.

20,000 people came.

They poured out of the hills in their wagons and on their horses and they stayed and they stayed and they stayed, not just for hours, but for days and not just days, but for weeks.

And sermons were preached, communion was celebrated, no small amount of prayer and groaning and praying.

And the consequence of that glen was the second great awakening.

And that second great awakening blessed our country for a solid generation and led directly to the abolition of slavery,

to the

defense of women's rights.

A variety of societal reforms began.

So I tell that story, number one, to encourage us.

At any point, God and His sovereignty can release the raindrops of the Holy Spirit upon us.

And then also to challenge us.

Let's keep praying.

Let's invite the Holy Spirit.

God can reverse this trend in a heartbeat.

Maybe all he's waiting on are some people like you and me to say, come, Holy Spirit.

And I think those prayers come when we see the world in such a desperate situation.

I will tell you that it is so nice to live here in Texas.

I went to my son's football game and

I just was talking to people and people generally come up and say, you know, hey, so

really?

I mean, how bad do you think it is?

I'm like, you listened to the show.

You know how bad I think it is.

And they'll start talking and they'll say, well, what do you think?

What do you think the plan is?

And I've just started saying in the last couple of months, the only way we survive is with God.

The only way we must humble ourselves and turn back to God.

Amen.

And this Friday night, every single person I talked to said excitedly, right?

Right?

That is the only answer, right?

People at least fear.

I think God's doing something.

I do.

I do.

I've never seen that.

All right.

I just got goosebumps.

Yeah.

I mean, it's,

I think, you know, and it doesn't take all of us.

You know,

the tipping point is 18, was it 17 or 18?

19%.

Which is it, Stu?

Do you remember the tipping point?

It's under 20%.

Yeah.

And if you are dedicated to that, it changes the world.

It changes the world.

Well, you think about stories in the Bible like the story of Elijah, and the entire country of Israel had

sold out to Baal, the worship of Baal, a false god that required child sacrifice and temple prostitution.

We're only 100 years after the construction of Solomon's temple, and the whole nation had sold out.

But

God shoulder-tapped Elijah.

Elijah challenged the prophets to meet him on Mount Carmel.

It was 850 to 1.

Those are not good odds.

No, no.

But when Elijah prayed, God sent fire because it it doesn't matter to God what the odds are.

He's just looking for that quorum of people like you, Glenn, prayerfully like me, like all of our listeners, who will say, okay, we're going to believe, we're going to have faith.

We're not going to get bitter.

We're going to trust and wait for God to work.

I've got just a couple of minutes left with you.

And Max, I so appreciate your time.

The name of his book is Help is Here by Max Lucato.

Max,

help me out with

anger.

There is righteous anger with what's being done to our families and even our jobs and our bank accounts and our country.

No doubt.

But we cannot be a part of that.

How do you get past that?

Okay, two or three thoughts come to mind.

Number one, yes, there is a righteous anger.

Jesus cleaned the temple.

I mean, he went in and really

made a point, made a statement.

If God calls us to

react in a way that hurts other people, I think we've overstepped the bounds.

What we have to do is clearly state our position.

Clearly state that we believe in the sanctity of life, believe that God is sovereign and determines the genders of children before they're even born.

We have every right to believe this and state it clearly.

What we don't want to do is become cynical and bitter, to become those people that pick a fight every time we turn.

Let's be clear-thinking.

Let's be equipped in our knowledge.

Let's be prayerful.

Let's be more on our knees than up on our fists and trust that the God who sovereignly declares the world is his, he will take care of it.

God has said, vengeance is mine, I will repay.

So it's his job to settle all scores.

It's not my job.

My job is to be faithful to him and to try to clearly articulate my beliefs and understand my worldview.

And I think that's my primary challenge.

And how do you, what do you say to people who say, well, no, we've got to do something.

That's not enough.

I mean, we've got to do something.

Well,

what is that something?

You know, what is that something?

I do think we underestimate the power of prayer.

I really do.

And I do think that our real enemy is not flesh and blood, but against the principalities and the powers of this world's present darkness.

Yes.

And so the real enemy is not somebody who's on the other side of the aisle, but the real enemy is the devil himself.

There is a devil, and this devil seeks to do nothing but

destroy and create chaos.

And so prayer and praise are our weapons, our spiritual weapons.

We pray, we beg God, because we've been bought by the blood of Christ.

We're in the kingdom.

You're a part of the church,

of the Lord's family.

You and I have access to the King of kings.

So let's storm the gates with prayer and then let's praise.

Let's praise.

The Apostle Paul said that

rejoice in the Lord always.

Again, I say rejoice.

And when we praise him, that ticks the devil off because the devil wants our praise and we're giving it to God and that releases even more power to come upon the earth.

And it makes us the happy warriors that Martin Luther King was.

There you go.

There you go.

All he did was stand and tell the truth.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, you just state the truth.

You know what it is.

You know, I think

our biggest challenge right now

is

to remember who we are, where we came from, what we know to be true.

Yeah.

And just stand there.

Just

do not move a muscle from that place.

Steadfast.

You know,

what are they going to do?

What are you going to do?

Yeah.

And you don't have to be, I don't want to become them.

I don't want to become an agent of

chaos and everything else.

Yeah.

So

Max, so good.

Is our time already up?

The Dow is up almost 800 points today.

And Bitcoin is back up over 20,000.

It's fixed.

Everything's going to be fine.

Everything is fine.

What were we talking about earlier today?

By the way, there is a great article on theblaze.com.

It is Carol Roth,

how to survive economic pain that is ahead in the Biden economy.

You can find it now.

In fact, we'll tweet it out if we can tweet it out at Glen Beck

and post it on all of our different socials.

But she gives a long-term, medium-term, and short-term to-do list, things that you need to do to protect yourself.

And she said, you know, in terms of short-term preparation, it's almost certain that the broad economic environment gets worse from here.

So take on an austerity perspective and cut out any unnecessary expenses while you beef up your emergency funds if you can.

She said, if you're fortunate enough to have any additional funds, max out your employer 401k match.

Look at some inflation protection from Series I savings bonds if you can keep your money up, tied up for five years, or find some return, even if it doesn't keep pace with inflation.

Just any short-term return would be good.

Keep your powder dry.

That's the basics that you have to do.

That's short-term.

Then she goes into medium-term and long-term.

And if you would follow those things, I think you will be a lot safer than most people are right now.

What she's saying about playing dice.

Strangely, she didn't mention it in this article.

In this article?

Yeah.

I got a new dice guy.

Really?

You do?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They seem to be weighted oddly.

When they roll, they seem to come to certain numbers.

Or sometimes they stop rolling and then they

wait a second and they

come over.

Yeah, which is weird.

That's just the wind.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

That's what he says.

That's what he says.

Okay, that's good.

That confirms it.

So it is a good investment.

Oh, sure.

It is.

Okay, Chris.

That in craps.

Oh, yeah.

Craps, hey,

at least craps, you can get the best odds in the casino.

Yeah.

Which at this point might be a good return compared to better reality.

You know, it's weird.

With craps, it's just all about timing.

You can clean up and then one roll of the dice and it's all gone.

It's all gone.

That's what makes it fun.

No.

No, that's what makes it.

People pay so much money to go play.

That's what makes it, I don't know, like everyday life.
