9/12/17 - 'You're going to make it' (Max Lucado & Richard Paul Evans join Glenn)

Speaker 1 The Blaze Radio Network.

Speaker 2 On demand.

Speaker 4 Love.

Speaker 5 Courage.

Speaker 6 Truth.

Speaker 7 There is nothing permanent except change.

Speaker 9 It's a force that can't be stopped.

Speaker 11 Status quo people, status quo businesses are going to be left in the dust.

Speaker 14 Some businesses are going to get this.

Speaker 16 Some businesses are going to lead the way.

Speaker 16 Others are going to fall by the wayside because they don't get it or they're resistant or they think that it's not going to be as big as everybody thinks it is.

Speaker 22 There was a story in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.

Speaker 24 The department store Nordstroms is opening up a new store called Nordstrom Local.

Speaker 27 It's an experiment.

Speaker 30 It's kind of a hybrid between online retail and the traditional department store.

Speaker 32 Now, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 33 I grew up in the Seattle area.

Speaker 34 Nordstrom's was

Speaker 35 the store.

Speaker 36 They've done it right for, I don't even know, 100 years.

Speaker 37 Nordstrom Local is going to be much smaller.

Speaker 41 They're going to have personal style consultants, a meeting area with a bar, areas to try on merchandise, curbside pickup for online purchases.

Speaker 42 The one thing they're not going to carry?

Speaker 3 Clothes.

Speaker 43 Wait, isn't Nordstrom's a clothing store?

Speaker 33 Here's the thing: Nordstrom realizes that the malls are dying.

Speaker 30 People like to shop online.

Speaker 46 But that doesn't mean that shopping in person is dead.

Speaker 48 Nordstroms is going to try something different.

Speaker 46 They want to give people what they want, personal service, speed, convenience.

Speaker 8 I read an article yesterday and said, you know, it may not work.

Speaker 36 It's a total gamble.

Speaker 52 But they know that what they're currently doing is not the future.

Speaker 36 They know that they have to try something

Speaker 32 because a department store is a thing of the past.

Speaker 55 And if you don't believe me, ask Sears or JCPenney.

Speaker 57 The reason why I bring this up is it's not just stores.

Speaker 14 The status quo is not working.

Speaker 59 It's not working for the TV networks.

Speaker 16 It's not working working for the movie business.

Speaker 24 It's not going to be working for trucking.

Speaker 24 It's not going to be working for schools.

Speaker 63 It's already not working.

Speaker 53 And the more we try to hold on to the university system, the worse our pain is going to get.

Speaker 67 The old models are being turned upside down.

Speaker 47 It's not working in Washington.

Speaker 25 It's not Barack Obama's fault and it's not Donald Trump's fault.

Speaker 69 The world is changing.

Speaker 16 The DC swamp that President Trump wants to drain is much more of a tar pit.

Speaker 54 Republicans and Democrats are content right now with where they are, who they are,

Speaker 59 because they don't think they have to change.

Speaker 39 But in a free market system, you do have to change.

Speaker 47 You have a problem with the status quo when Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham are your party's flag bearers.

Speaker 21 Yesterday, I was reading that Lindsey Graham is now leading the charge on change.

Speaker 52 Lindsey Graham?

Speaker 74 This is status quo thinking.

Speaker 17 That is part of the reason Donald Trump became president.

Speaker 24 But soon, the political version of Nordstrom's local will appear.

Speaker 45 I don't know where.

Speaker 50 But it is not necessarily going to be shiny, but it is going to be innovative.

Speaker 78 And a lot of people will like it.

Speaker 47 When you have Schumer and Lindsey Graham being flag bearers, they are not flag bearers, those are pole bearers.

Speaker 29 When something new does appear, if it is truly from the free market, it will be better.

Speaker 75 Because when it's truly from the people, when it is ground up,

Speaker 63 it will be anchored in America's founding principles because we those principles actually work.

Speaker 84 It's Tuesday, September 12th. This is the Glenn Beth program.

Speaker 76 It was on 9-12 that John F.

Speaker 64 Kennedy said, we choose to go to the moon and do those other things,

Speaker 23 not because they're easy, but because they are hard.

Speaker 86 This is the America that we have always known.

Speaker 30 Oh, I don't know what it is about this date, 9-12, but it's 9-12.

Speaker 23 And

Speaker 22 there is something about this date

Speaker 88 that stirs America into action.

Speaker 48 It was the day after 9-11 that things changed, at least for me.

Speaker 63 On

Speaker 49 9-11, I was scared and freaked out of my mind.

Speaker 73 On 9-12, I began to think there's hope.

Speaker 88 And I began to think that because of the people that

Speaker 81 just rose up, the average person in America that had nothing to do with politics or companies or anything else.

Speaker 63 Just my neighbors gave me hope.

Speaker 96 The same thing that we're seeing now in Houston and the same things that we're seeing in Florida.

Speaker 65 Yesterday, I was on my way home and

Speaker 4 I heard a piece of audio.

Speaker 16 Somebody sent this to me.

Speaker 13 And it is

Speaker 21 the hymn to the innocent.

Speaker 64 And it's done

Speaker 36 by a high school Philharmonic.

Speaker 91 These kids that are playing in this Philharmonic and this choir,

Speaker 26 none of them were born

Speaker 40 on 9-11.

Speaker 98 None of them were alive.

Speaker 21 The only America that these kids know is the America,

Speaker 17 the America that has

Speaker 83 guards at the airport,

Speaker 33 the America that is at war,

Speaker 52 been at war their whole life

Speaker 40 When you and I were wondering whether America was going to survive,

Speaker 79 every member of this Philharmonic was not alive.

Speaker 81 And look at what they're creating.

Speaker 9 As you...

Speaker 39 As you wonder about the next generation, as you wonder about even our school system, here is an amazing school called the American Heritage School.

Speaker 103 That honestly, if I didn't own movie studios in Texas, I would move my family so my kids could go to school there.

Speaker 23 Yesterday, as I was driving home and I was listening to this,

Speaker 104 I thought back on a conversation I had with a co-worker.

Speaker 23 He was in eighth grade when the towers came down.

Speaker 8 He said, I feel different today.

Speaker 91 He said, I kind of feel bad.

Speaker 92 This is, it's weird.

Speaker 83 He said, this is the first year that it feels like that happened a long time ago.

Speaker 106 And I kind of feel the same way.

Speaker 79 It feels like it happened a long time ago.

Speaker 79 Why?

Speaker 50 Last year it didn't feel like that.

Speaker 38 The year before it didn't feel like that.

Speaker 52 What's changed?

Speaker 89 May I suggest that one thing has changed?

Speaker 27 The fundamental transformation of America.

Speaker 20 During the Barack Obama administration, he said,

Speaker 9 We're just three three days away from the fundamental transformation of America.

Speaker 4 And nobody heard it.

Speaker 72 We did.

Speaker 46 Those of us on the right, we heard it.

Speaker 107 The left dismissed it.

Speaker 4 But we heard it.

Speaker 88 And we thought, boy, you restore something of value.

Speaker 15 You don't go in and look at the Mona Lisa and say, you know, I'm going to have a fundamental transformation of that Mona Lisa thing.

Speaker 48 You look at the Mona Lise and say, is there a way to restore this?

Speaker 47 Is there a way to bring it back to its original vibrance?

Speaker 91 We knew it was changing.

Speaker 16 The left caught up with that during the last election and said, what's going on?

Speaker 57 How can this be?

Speaker 64 Hillary Clinton is still saying, how could this be?

Speaker 108 And I told you this summer.

Speaker 51 That we were at the end of the beginning and we now were at the beginning of the middle.

Speaker 47 That the fundamental transformation of America has happened.

Speaker 102 But it is only in our systems.

Speaker 91 As I said a minute ago, business is changing.

Speaker 37 Television news is changing.

Speaker 109 Politics is changing.

Speaker 63 What we would have never accepted before, ever.

Speaker 56 We now embrace. We don't tolerate.
We embrace it.

Speaker 61 Policies, principles, culture,

Speaker 111 business,

Speaker 69 finances, everything

Speaker 112 is new and unstable.

Speaker 32 Except for one thing.

Speaker 82 We haven't been fundamentally transformed yet.

Speaker 4 They're still working on that.

Speaker 58 And when I say they, I I don't mean some, you know, star chamber, deep dark secrets.

Speaker 110 I mean,

Speaker 36 what we're going through right now,

Speaker 108 the collective,

Speaker 8 it hasn't changed us yet.

Speaker 92 There still is that nine-twelve person

Speaker 102 inside each of us.

Speaker 114 Up on Glenn's Facebook page, you can listen to this. It's Hymn to the Innocent by an amazing

Speaker 71 high school Philharmonica.

Speaker 4 Crazy, isn't it?

Speaker 114 Amazing at the American Heritage School.

Speaker 114 You can look at it on Glenn's Facebook page. It's the post where she mentions

Speaker 4 Furtwangler.

Speaker 114 That's how you can find it. Just search for the word Furtwangler

Speaker 114 on his Facebook page.

Speaker 4 Normal people doing amazing things.

Speaker 23 That's really what America is all about.

Speaker 4 Normal people doing amazing things.

Speaker 81 There is one story about 9-11 that

Speaker 89 I have only heard in bits and pieces, but there's a new documentary out, The Untold Tale of the 9-11 Resilience.

Speaker 32 Here's a clip.

Speaker 116 He showed me, you know, when American people need to come together and pull together, they will do it.

Speaker 87 I do feel away honored that I was a part of it.

Speaker 116 That's the greatest thing I ever did with my life.

Speaker 55 The greatest day that I've ever seen in all my boating.

Speaker 118 I mean, my life on the water.

Speaker 116 I believe somebody has all the hero in them. You gotta look in.

Speaker 116 And it's in there. It'll come out.
It needs to be.

Speaker 119 I have one theory in life.

Speaker 118 I never want to say the word I should have.

Speaker 119 If I do it and I fail, I tried.

Speaker 120 If I do it and I succeed,

Speaker 119 better for me. And I tell my children the same thing.

Speaker 119 Never go through life saying you should have.

Speaker 91 If you want to do something,

Speaker 112 you do it.

Speaker 23 This is an amazing documentary because that, what he just said, is the American spirit.

Speaker 80 If that is ever snuffed, then we are done.

Speaker 34 But never say I should have.

Speaker 72 Do it.

Speaker 121 If you fail, you fail.

Speaker 102 But almost everything in our society,

Speaker 41 at least from the old system, is trying to stop us from doing that.

Speaker 20 Stop you from thinking that you have the power to change politics.

Speaker 17 Stop you from thinking that you could pull away from the Democrats or the Republicans.

Speaker 34 Stop you from believing that you have an idea that is worth something so you can start your own business.

Speaker 43 You can just go out on your own.

Speaker 122 Although, technology and the way the world is moving is telling you a different story.

Speaker 112 And it is a story that is,

Speaker 31 it is the story of the West.

Speaker 52 We're not a collective, we are individuals.

Speaker 39 And in our greatest hours,

Speaker 63 we don't

Speaker 75 come together.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 106 as a collective because we've been told we we come together

Speaker 102 as individuals privately and then what we do

Speaker 50 is multiplied by all these other people who have the same drive the same feeling it is the adam smith invisible hand and that invisible hand was evident on 9-11.

Speaker 57 So many miraculous things happened.

Speaker 72 But the one we don't know is how the actual

Speaker 33 U.S. Navy behaved.

Speaker 36 And I don't mean the one that have the big gray ships.

Speaker 50 I mean the Citizens Navy, the Citizens Brigade.

Speaker 125 It wasn't the ferries that brought everybody across the water on 9-11.

Speaker 50 They were citizens.

Speaker 36 Here's Tom Hanks.

Speaker 126 The great boat lift of 9-11 became the largest sea evacuation in history.

Speaker 126 Larger than the evacuation of Dunkirk in World War II, where 339,000 British and French soldiers were rescued over the course of nine days. On 9-11,

Speaker 126 nearly 500,000 civilians were rescued from Manhattan by boat.

Speaker 126 It took less than nine hours.

Speaker 114 It's an amazing story, well worth your 12 minutes on YouTube today. It's called Boatlift: An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience.
It's narrated by Tom Hanks and put out by the Center for National Policy.

Speaker 114 We just tweeted it from at World of Stew. You can link to it there.

Speaker 73 Children born on 9-11 are now old enough to get their driver's license.

Speaker 15 That blows my mind.

Speaker 69 You were born on 9-11.

Speaker 18 Yesterday, you could officially get your driver's license.

Speaker 82 The world has changed, it always does, but some things remain the same, and that is there's a next generation that believes there's a next generation right behind us that isn't tired and feeling worn out.

Speaker 29 They're ready.

Speaker 23 Another thing that changes is our need for emergency preparedness.

Speaker 23 Our friends in Houston, our friends in Florida know this, coming face to face with hurricanes.

Speaker 39 I trust my Patriot Supply, our sponsor, for my food storage.

Speaker 23 Right now they have 70 servings of survival food for only $67, less than a dollar per serving.

Speaker 125 That's breakfast, lunch, and dinner, healthy food that lasts for 25 years.

Speaker 25 You know, the survival food thing hasn't changed.

Speaker 20 My grandparents did it in the Great Depression.

Speaker 47 It was called canning.

Speaker 17 And we used to do it,

Speaker 47 when I was growing up, we would do it with my grandmother, and we would do it with my aunt, and we would do it with my mother.

Speaker 86 And we, as kids, would have a garbage can full of beans, and

Speaker 51 we would get them ready, and then mom would put them in the canner, and we'd have beans for a year.

Speaker 91 Things have changed.

Speaker 17 You may not be doing it that way anymore, but now you can do it with my Patriot Supply.

Speaker 28 A Prepared America is a strong America, and that's Patriot Supply's mission: a strong America.

Speaker 16 Call 800-977-0542.

Speaker 54 It's 800-977-0542 or preparewithglen.com.

Speaker 54 Glenn back.

Speaker 128 We choose to go to the moon and discade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Speaker 81 It's amazing that that happened on 9-12, and I didn't know it.

Speaker 16 9-12 is such an important date in my life,

Speaker 97 and

Speaker 63 I think the countries.

Speaker 27 And here is John F.

Speaker 39 Kennedy saying we're going to go to the moon at Rice University.

Speaker 10 And he said that on September 12th,

Speaker 76 9:12.

Speaker 40 The day to me that we

Speaker 129 had

Speaker 113 a moonshot ourselves.

Speaker 17 We chose to come together and to do the hard things.

Speaker 36 Now we have gotten lost, quite honestly.

Speaker 4 I don't think we ever made it.

Speaker 64 We may have made it to the moon, but I don't think we ever made it back.

Speaker 13 I think we got a few people trapped on the moon right now when it comes to our moonshot of this decade, as he said.

Speaker 53 I'm afraid tragedy is just a drug.

Speaker 2 at this point.

Speaker 114 Like these things happen and they give you that feeling for a while and man, seem to go away.

Speaker 47 You know what is a drug? Worse. You know what is a drug?

Speaker 8 USA, USA, USA.

Speaker 32 That was the drug because that's not a solution.

Speaker 20 That's not a solution just like it wasn't when George Bush said, you know what, you got to do your part.

Speaker 54 Go shopping.

Speaker 52 That's not a solution.

Speaker 81 Those two things, nationalism, shopping, and everything else, those are drugs.

Speaker 52 But there are things that we can do that are not drugs that actually change things.

Speaker 61 More next

Speaker 61 Glenn Beck

Speaker 1 this is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 I remember

Speaker 42 the day my life changed.

Speaker 64 The day my life changed happened in a

Speaker 51 a

Speaker 19 cafeteria at Yale University, and the guy sitting across the table was Wayne Meeks.

Speaker 23 He doesn't even know this, but he changed my life.

Speaker 24 He changed the course of my life.

Speaker 24 I was 30 years old.

Speaker 21 I was

Speaker 103 early in the recovery of my alcoholism.

Speaker 23 The day I started school literally was the day I asked for a divorce.

Speaker 97 And

Speaker 41 I was just searching, I had been searching for answers.

Speaker 23 And I had gotten into Yale University and

Speaker 130 I couldn't believe it because when I sent for my transcripts, I thought I was like a C or D student.

Speaker 131 And I wasn't.

Speaker 50 I was a straight A student.

Speaker 58 And

Speaker 58 that wasn't my memory at all.

Speaker 50 My memory had so decayed.

Speaker 85 and had so been I had been so down on myself over the years that I really had convinced myself that I was pretty stupid and always had been.

Speaker 132 And so when I put my transcripts together and I

Speaker 103 put my package together and sent it in for special student status at Yale,

Speaker 47 I really didn't expect to get in.

Speaker 121 Then when I did get in, oof,

Speaker 31 I was like, I don't think I can do this.

Speaker 16 And my professor said to me one day, he said,

Speaker 89 Mr.

Speaker 32 Beck, after I had questioned him on something, he said, Can I see you after class?

Speaker 8 I said, yes, sir.

Speaker 16 After class, he said, come have lunch with me.

Speaker 121 So we sat in this cafeteria, this ivy league, hallowed halls, oak paneled room.

Speaker 77 And he said, what are you doing here?

Speaker 89 And I said, I'm just looking for answers.

Speaker 89 I have never spent any time in my life trying to figure things out, and I deny realize that I don't know anything.

Speaker 82 And I'm really looking for answers.

Speaker 102 And he said, What are you reading? And I told him.

Speaker 110 And he said, Who's guiding you through that?

Speaker 27 And I said, Either Mr. Barnes or Mr.

Speaker 16 Noble. I'm not sure which, but that's

Speaker 41 I'm just going into the bookstore.

Speaker 17 And I'm looking for people who disagree with each other.

Speaker 104 And I'm comparing and contrasting.

Speaker 12 He said, You're doing that on your own?

Speaker 131 I said, Yes, and I'm so confused.

Speaker 76 I don't even know.

Speaker 8 I don't. I just

Speaker 32 He reached across the table table as I was in the middle of that.

Speaker 89 My hand was down on the

Speaker 133 cafeteria table.

Speaker 89 And he reached over and he put his hand on top of mine and he said,

Speaker 74 Listen to me.

Speaker 109 You know you belong here, right?

Speaker 89 You know you're smart enough to be here.

Speaker 8 I think I answered yes, but the answer in my head was no.

Speaker 58 Him saying that to me gave me the confidence to know

Speaker 94 it's going to be okay.

Speaker 106 Sometimes one conversation can change the course of so much.

Speaker 124 There was a caller

Speaker 38 to this program.

Speaker 96 He didn't know me.

Speaker 134 We had never met.

Speaker 16 I'd never talked to him before.

Speaker 89 He had never talked to me.

Speaker 47 And yet his phone call changed the course of my life. He called in to tell me what he believed.

Speaker 80 And what he believed was that we were all alone.

Speaker 135 The problem is today, and I believe this, I believe that we are outnumbered now. I don't believe that.

Speaker 136 I know you say that, and I knew you were going to get rid of it.

Speaker 136 I knew

Speaker 137 we're not outnumbered. We are not outnumbered.

Speaker 136 You look at me.

Speaker 136 You know what?

Speaker 136 Look, here's the thing.

Speaker 137 Ed, you give me a month to prove this. I am going to find a way to prove this to you.

Speaker 137 You know what, Stu?

Speaker 137 I'm going to give you, Ed, you hang on the phone. I want to get a phone number from you.

Speaker 136 Okay?

Speaker 137 Thank you for calling. And, Ed, you are the probably, you could be the most important caller that I have ever received in my career.

Speaker 135 You remember the first sentence I said when I called on the phone?

Speaker 137 I understand.

Speaker 137 And I appreciate, Ed, that, I just appreciate it.

Speaker 137 And you may be the most important person in my life because you may have changed and and finally given me the impetus to actually find the way to prove it to you.

Speaker 93 9-11 caused so much heartbreak in America, but it didn't harden our hearts.

Speaker 93 When the wreckage settled after 9-11, Americans everywhere united.

Speaker 47 We didn't even know what to do,

Speaker 7 but we knew what we had was worth fighting for, but we weren't given any real specific direction except go shopping.

Speaker 90 I believe, I still believe, in who we are at our core.

Speaker 35 We are the people that we were on 9-12.

Speaker 108 We are the people of Hurricane Harvey.

Speaker 72 People who are thirsty.

Speaker 16 They are thirsty to be involved to help their fellow man.

Speaker 91 So Ed calls me,

Speaker 87 and he did change the course of my life.

Speaker 19 I knew who we were, and it was that call that gave birth to the 9-12 project.

Speaker 38 It was a grassroots initiative that spread like wildfire.

Speaker 16 We had, six months before 9-12, we had a...

Speaker 45 a watch party, if you will.

Speaker 55 I asked everybody, watch at five o'clock, and people gathered all over the country.

Speaker 95 Do you remember watching it together?

Speaker 139 No matter where you are, from our studio audience here in Midtown Manhattan, to the sidewalks outside, to the people all over the country, just a few blocks away in Times Square, where there are people viewing parties.

Speaker 139 They're holding regular, regular viewing parties.

Speaker 139 It started with people and by people, just regular people like you, like Joyce in Melbourne, Florida, whose party grew so large that she moved it from her restaurant to the parking lot outside.

Speaker 139 To the gatherings in NOAA's in South Jordan, Utah, to homes in Golden Valley, Arizona, in Brewer, Maine, to the garage bar in Columbus, Ohio, and virtually every small town and big city in between in this great nation.

Speaker 139 There are people gathering in ranches in Texas, where some familiar faces have gathered to watch the show. To military bases in Iraq, where real heroes

Speaker 139 have gathered.

Speaker 16 I don't think I've seen those images until just now

Speaker 16 since that day.

Speaker 16 Amazing people.

Speaker 89 Amazing people who were not just watching a television show.

Speaker 23 They came together because

Speaker 79 they believed in a few things.

Speaker 41 The nine principles and the twelve values.

Speaker 77 That America is good.

Speaker 112 That there is a God.

Speaker 102 That we have to try to be more honest than we were yesterday.

Speaker 91 That our families are sacred.

Speaker 47 And my spouse and my family, we are the ultimate authority, not the government.

Speaker 72 And if you break the law, you have to pay the penalty.

Speaker 76 And justice is blind, and no one is above that.

Speaker 23 That I do have a God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but there's no guarantee of equal results.

Speaker 54 And I've worked hard for what I have,

Speaker 72 and I will share it with who I want to, and the government can't force me to be charitable.

Speaker 93 And it's not un-American for me to disagree with authority or share my personal opinion.

Speaker 133 The government works for me, I don't answer to them, they answer to me.

Speaker 120 Those were the principles.

Speaker 4 They're still true today.

Speaker 17 The values of honesty and reverence and hope and thrift and humility and charity, sincerity,

Speaker 47 moderation, hard work, courage, personal responsibility, and gratitude.

Speaker 102 It might sound like a big ask to a lot of people just to live those things, but people rise to the level of their preparedness and their knowledge.

Speaker 35 They don't rise to the level of their expectations.

Speaker 8 The reason why people today are rising up to help the people in the flood and they're just giving everything is because that's how they were raised and prepared by parents.

Speaker 82 I just wanted to prove that to Ed and to myself, that there was a majority of Americans that care enough about their country to do their homework.

Speaker 8 Television is a great medium.

Speaker 89 It's like anything in the free market.

Speaker 77 It can be used for good or can be used for evil.

Speaker 113 A lot of people think I used it for evil.

Speaker 35 I tried so hard to use it for good.

Speaker 35 Television can be really isolating.

Speaker 13 And on August 28th, 2010, I invited everybody to join me on the mall in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 82 I really had no expectation.

Speaker 47 I had no idea how many people would show up.

Speaker 12 We didn't have unions and organizers all over the country that were bringing people in.

Speaker 4 It was just up to you and your local church or whatever you wanted to do.

Speaker 16 And to my shock,

Speaker 87 500,000 people showed up in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 140 This day

Speaker 141 is a day that we can start the heart of America again. And it has nothing to do with politics.

Speaker 140 It has everything to do with God.

Speaker 140 Everything turning our face back to the values and the principles that made us great.

Speaker 43 But this was not just an American thing.

Speaker 76 And it wasn't just about honor.

Speaker 4 What was coming required us to also have courage.

Speaker 82 And so the next year,

Speaker 61 when we were starting a network, our very first internet broadcast was international,

Speaker 55 quite a feat.

Speaker 41 It was from Israel, which we thought might turn into a war zone

Speaker 106 just because of the things we had to say there.

Speaker 142 I ask you to turn your eyes to Israel and restore courage.

Speaker 11 I have been asked by the press over and over again, what is it you think you can teach Israel about courage?

Speaker 142 My answer is simple:

Speaker 11 nothing.

Speaker 143 They asked me then,

Speaker 142 they asked me then, so then why would you come to Israel?

Speaker 142 Because I say,

Speaker 142 in Israel, you see courage.

Speaker 82 Americans are resilient,

Speaker 144 but is

Speaker 55 but only if we're prepared.

Speaker 4 We're made from some from tough stock, man.

Speaker 33 Really tough.

Speaker 112 We crossed the oceans to get here.

Speaker 40 We were broke.

Speaker 93 We were penniless.

Speaker 31 We crossed the mountains with oxen.

Speaker 39 2012

Speaker 65 By 2012, we had gone through a lot.

Speaker 83 Eleven years of labor.

Speaker 82 And there was one more piece to put together if we were going to make it.

Speaker 29 It was honor, courage, but most importantly, it was love.

Speaker 82 From the heart of Texas, it was time to remind everybody

Speaker 46 those unbreakable values and principles of the 9-12 project from Cowboy Stadium.

Speaker 138 There are two kinds of Americans, and they're not Democrats and Republicans.

Speaker 143 they're not God fearing and God doubting

Speaker 138 they're not black and white

Speaker 143 they're bigger than that

Speaker 138 much bigger there are two kinds of Americans

Speaker 138 those

Speaker 138 who like to be pushed

Speaker 138 and those who push themselves

Speaker 138 Those who see our problems and refuse to see our blessings.

Speaker 102 Close your eyes for a second and just imagine that we are in an oak-paneled room

Speaker 23 and that you are saying to me the same thing that you probably said to your wife or husband last night or in the last 24 hours.

Speaker 65 I don't know. I don't, I don't have any.
I don't know.

Speaker 65 I don't know how we're going to make it. I don't know.

Speaker 104 Let me reach across and put my hand on top of yours and say,

Speaker 99 you know you belong here, right?

Speaker 131 He's going to be with us in just a second on how to survive chaos in the world.

Speaker 67 What if you can get them at home?

Speaker 114 What if you don't have to go out?

Speaker 17 What if you can eat these in your bed pants?

Speaker 118 Again, yes.

Speaker 4 Yes,

Speaker 67 bed pants? Yeah. What did you eat? Bed pants.

Speaker 43 Oh, bed pants.

Speaker 94 Why would I eat them in a bedpan?

Speaker 17 Like, why would you be eating your dinner in a bedpan?

Speaker 114 Love,

Speaker 5 courage,

Speaker 51 truth. I want you to know that you are the answer.

Speaker 29 You really are the answer.

Speaker 56 The power to change yourself, the power to change America's course resides in you.

Speaker 70 It's what the message of the 9-12 project was all about, your ability to effect change with principles over politics and policies.

Speaker 27 Over the weekend on 60 Minutes, we saw the opposite of this from Steve Bannon. He sat down with Trump's former chief strategist on 60 Minutes,

Speaker 107 who said this.

Speaker 2 I'm going to be his wingman outside for the entire time to pretend.

Speaker 46 So you'll not be attacking Donald Trump in your role at this point.

Speaker 2 Our purpose is to support Donald Trump, by the way.

Speaker 149 And destroy his enemies?

Speaker 2 To make sure his enemies know that there's no free shot on gold.

Speaker 30 You know, I remember the days when we called out those people who put blind faith in President Obama, personality over principles.

Speaker 89 America, what has changed?

Speaker 58 Nothing.

Speaker 76 Nothing except our belief in ourselves.

Speaker 94 Nothing but the belief that we're going to make it.

Speaker 43 I want you to hear clearly, we're going to.

Speaker 61 Charisma over core values always fall short.

Speaker 106 And one voice can change a community. One voice can change a family.

Speaker 20 One family changes a community.

Speaker 110 One community changes a state.

Speaker 106 One state changes a nation.

Speaker 20 One nation changes the world.

Speaker 72 But it starts with you.

Speaker 17 You are the answer.

Speaker 24 And then together, grounded in our shared principles, we create something that is durable

Speaker 27 and has lasting impact.

Speaker 84 It's Tuesday, September 12th.

Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beth program.

Speaker 25 Max Lucato from San Antonio, Texas.

Speaker 16 He started a small church in Miami, Florida, and

Speaker 20 now he's in San Antonio.

Speaker 34 He's been a pastor for 40 years.

Speaker 34 He's authored 34 books, 43 different languages.

Speaker 7 97 million copies of his books are in print.

Speaker 87 He's been married 34 years, has a granddaughter,

Speaker 16 has three wonderful children, and

Speaker 113 a very important message in his new book, Anxious for Nothing, which, Max, I had to have you on because I think this is the answer

Speaker 17 to much of what the world is facing right now.

Speaker 16 We are so anxious about everything.

Speaker 36 And through, I think, misdirection, we're blaming it on all kinds of different things and all different people.

Speaker 19 But it's really

Speaker 91 this anxiety.

Speaker 15 First of all, where do you think it's coming from?

Speaker 56 What are we experiencing?

Speaker 116 Thanks for letting me on the program, by the way.

Speaker 116 That's not just an assumption on your part.

Speaker 116 You know, sociologist after sociologist has told us, and I document a lot of this in the book, that we are now the most anxious nation on the planet, and this is the most anxious generation since anxiety was ever measured.

Speaker 116 Third world countries score healthier on the anxiety list than the United States does. So how could this be?

Speaker 116 We have more gimmicks, I mean, more gadgets, more toys, more entertainment than ever, and yet we're wrapped tighter than than Egyptian mummies.

Speaker 8 We're just anxious people.

Speaker 116 And so it's not just an assumption on your part. And I think the consequence of this, of course, is physical.
Just about every malady can be traced back in some form to some form of stress.

Speaker 116 But I think also

Speaker 116 we pay a high price emotionally. We're losing the ability to have honest conversations with one another because we live in fear.

Speaker 49 We're anxious.

Speaker 116 And when you're anxious, you hunker down and you withdraw. And the result of that can be a breakdown in fellowship, community, so dialogue.

Speaker 63 We also, we withdraw, but then we also gather in groups.

Speaker 76 This thing that's going on with

Speaker 28 dopamine right now of we get constant dopamine hits.

Speaker 52 If we post something nasty on Facebook and it starts to go viral, our brain is rewarding us for that with a feel-good drug.

Speaker 36 And it's, I don't know how that's going to break

Speaker 65 because we're looking, I mean, look, we're strung out on opioids or on dopamine hits.

Speaker 22 And if you're not doing one of those two things, the suicide rate is going through the roof.

Speaker 12 People are not built to handle this kind of stress.

Speaker 116 The suicide rate between 1999 and today has gone up 24%.

Speaker 145 Wow.

Speaker 116 24%.

Speaker 116 Now, if we said that about a particular disease, we'd call it an epidemic.

Speaker 116 More people than ever are orchestrating their own departure, which gives rise to the question, what is happening in our culture to cause that to occur?

Speaker 74 What is it?

Speaker 116 I think from a sociologist's viewpoint, the common list includes we've seen more change in the last 30 years than we've seen in the last 300, so the world is moving far too fast. Number two,

Speaker 116 we have forgotten how to slow down.

Speaker 116 Our great-grandparents and ancestors would go only as far as the day as the horse or the camel would go, and then when the sun set, they would slow down. We have forgotten how to do that.

Speaker 49 And then also

Speaker 116 the bombardment of negative news.

Speaker 116 not just political news, but just negative news.

Speaker 116 If something bad happens in Nepal, I hear about it within five seconds, whereas our ancestors never would have heard about it, or if they did, they would have been five weeks later.

Speaker 116 So we're just bombarded with negative news. So those are the three things that sociologists state.

Speaker 120 Can I add to that as a pastor?

Speaker 5 Sure.

Speaker 116 I think secularism is taking its toll on us. Secularism is the belief that there's nothing in life beyond what happens between birth and the grave, and there's nothing beyond the world to help us.

Speaker 116 Secularism really sucks the hope out of a culture because if there's nothing more than what I can see and touch and feel, and I don't like what I can see and touch and feel, then I think I'll just check out.

Speaker 31 So, I want to play something for you that I saw this morning from Jim Carrey.

Speaker 17 He was giving an interview yesterday in New York, and it was some fancy celebrity thing.

Speaker 27 And everybody was reporting this: look at Jim Carrey's kind of slapping down Hollywood and the elites and everything else.

Speaker 89 I don't think that's what's happening.

Speaker 91 I want you just to

Speaker 56 listen to what Jim Carrey said in an interview yesterday because he is either really unhealthy or

Speaker 16 he's just starting to figure life out and I can't decide which it is.

Speaker 151 Hey, Jim Carrey.

Speaker 152 Yes. What? I've covered a lot of fashion weeks.
This is the first time I've run in to Jim Carrey.

Speaker 151 Wait, tell me, is it true you're wandering the streets?

Speaker 152 You need a date to the party?

Speaker 145 What's up?

Speaker 44 No, no, no.

Speaker 149 I'm doing just fine. I just, you know, there's no meaning to any of this.
So I wanted to find the most meaningless thing that I could come to and join. And

Speaker 145 here I am.

Speaker 149 I I mean, you gotta admit, it's completely meaningless.

Speaker 152 Well, they say they're celebrating icons inside of the world.

Speaker 149 Celebrating icons, boy, that is just the absolute lowest aiming

Speaker 149 possibility that we could come up with. It's like icons.

Speaker 149 Do you believe in icons? I don't believe in personalities. I don't believe that you exist, but there is a wonderful fragrance in the air.

Speaker 152 You don't believe certain icons have the power to make change, to think differently, to be bold, to inspire others?

Speaker 151 Artistry, you're one of them.

Speaker 98 On the good foot! Ha!

Speaker 145 Yeah.

Speaker 98 You shut her down now.

Speaker 117 Yeah, no,

Speaker 149 I don't believe in icons. I don't believe in personalities.

Speaker 149 I believe that peace lies beyond personality, beyond invention and disguise, beyond the red S that you wear on your chest that makes bullets bounce off.

Speaker 149 I believe that it's deeper than that. I believe we're a field of energy dancing for itself.

Speaker 149 And

Speaker 149 I don't care.

Speaker 152 But Jim, you got really dressed up for the occasion.

Speaker 149 You look good.

Speaker 98 No, I didn't. Is that an accident?

Speaker 149 I didn't get dressed up. Who did? There is no me.

Speaker 151 There's no you. No.
We're not here. This is a dream.

Speaker 149 It's just things happening.

Speaker 99 Stop.

Speaker 23 He is.

Speaker 125 He's a guy who's been going through trouble lately, a lot of personal trouble.

Speaker 23 And to me, this is really concerning.

Speaker 91 I like the idea that he says all of this is meaningless, but I think he is to a point to where he means really all of this is meaningless.

Speaker 31 And there's

Speaker 58 a fine line between that.

Speaker 116 He seems right on the edge of despair. Yes.

Speaker 116 And despair often is born out of a sense of utter, complete disappointment with life. You know, I've had...
been at the top. I've had the very best.
I've had all it could give me. And it's still vain.

Speaker 116 It's vanity.

Speaker 116 You You know, there's a book in the Bible called Ecclesiastes, and King Solomon reached that same conclusion.

Speaker 116 You know, the richest man probably who ever lived, and he said, it's nothing but, you know,

Speaker 116 there's vanity, and

Speaker 116 it has no meaning to me. And so this cry for meaning, this longing to be a part of something significant, is right at the core of the deepest, deepest need of a human being.
Why am I here?

Speaker 116 Where am I going?

Speaker 89 So where are we finding that now?

Speaker 35 Now that our churches

Speaker 91 are struggling, I think in some cases

Speaker 112 for good reason,

Speaker 72 where do we find it?

Speaker 55 How do we put this back?

Speaker 116 I know our churches are struggling. And

Speaker 116 oftentimes, because of the way churches are structured, they can be so inauthentic that they come across to people as simply another way to earn money or to steal from people. And so

Speaker 116 that's created

Speaker 116 disconnection between many people and the church. I really think, though, that we are beginning to sense,

Speaker 116 especially in the millennial generation, a sense of authentic faith among our young people. And it's very, very encouraging.

Speaker 116 And it's a faith that's really built upon a deep, deep conviction that there is a good God who is up to something good.

Speaker 116 They don't have all the answers, don't have all of the questions resolved, but there's a deep, deep conviction that we're seeing a fresh move of faith among our young people.

Speaker 116 And I find that very encouraging.

Speaker 17 There are reasons to feel

Speaker 83 the chaos.

Speaker 17 There are reasons.

Speaker 89 I mean, there's real things that are happening that people's jobs are at stake.

Speaker 16 They don't know how they're going to make ends meet.

Speaker 83 Their kids are in trouble.

Speaker 23 suicide rate with youth is through the roof there's real reason to feel this way how do you disconnect from

Speaker 39 the very real things in your life

Speaker 23 the hype of all of the things that you shouldn't worry about

Speaker 95 and put that in order and then find

Speaker 52 a peaceful place in it you know how how did martin luther king

Speaker 51 how how was he in jail and fined?

Speaker 46 How did Dietrich Bonhoeffer thank his executioner?

Speaker 45 How do you do that?

Speaker 116 And I asked that very question in this book because I base this book upon the writings of the Apostle Paul, and he wrote this book in a Roman jail cell.

Speaker 116 And this book called Philippians in the Bible has come to be known as the Epistle of Joy. And yet there's a thousand and one reasons he should not be be happy.

Speaker 116 I mean, the emperor was making a living off of killing Christians, and probably Paul was next in line.

Speaker 116 And here the Apostle Paul is chained to a Roman guard and has every reason to think he'll never see the light of day again. If it is, it's just for a few moments before his head is chopped off.

Speaker 116 And yet you read these four chapters and there's not one word of complaint. Not one word of complaint.

Speaker 116 And as you dig into this book, you find in this book really a deep and abiding trust in two simple facts that there is a good God and this good God is up to good things.

Speaker 116 And so I think that, and I'm not saying anything that surprised you.

Speaker 116 I mean I'm a pastor, but I know I'm supposed to say these things, but deep in my heart I really believe that the cause of anguish and despair is a sense of meaninglessness.

Speaker 79 It is.

Speaker 116 Why am I here? Where am I headed? Why am I here? Where am I headed? And if you cannot answer those two fundamental questions in life, I mean, how do you get up on a Monday and go to work?

Speaker 116 You can only do it so many times before you become bitter and jaded and cynical.

Speaker 83 I'd add to that that there is

Speaker 8 a deep sense in, I think in all of us,

Speaker 54 of

Speaker 8 I want to do something of meaning.

Speaker 112 And

Speaker 58 we can't find it.

Speaker 105 We can't find that something of meaning.

Speaker 16 We're talking to Max Lakato.

Speaker 41 In a second, I want to talk to him about chaos, which we've just been talking about.

Speaker 124 But calm.

Speaker 102 C-A-L-M.

Speaker 41 Calm the chaos.

Speaker 6 In a minute.

Speaker 114 The book by Max Locato is Anxious for Nothing, Finding Calm in a Chaotic World.

Speaker 114 At some point, I want to ask Max about the question my kid asked me the other day with the hurricane bearing down. It was one of those:

Speaker 114 hey,

Speaker 114 why is God sending the hurricane? Is it to kill people? And I thought that was probably, I didn't want to say yes to that.

Speaker 154 So I said, hey, look, daddy's iPad is charged.

Speaker 98 Here you go, kid.

Speaker 114 That was probably not the response Max will give.

Speaker 47 We'll get to that here in just a second.

Speaker 33 North Korea just last week tested a hydrogen bomb.

Speaker 21 That news came as Hurricane Harvey, and now 6 million Floridians are without power

Speaker 95 Irma.

Speaker 39 We have a really resilient country.

Speaker 30 We are experiencing more pressure points, I think, than I've ever experienced in my life.

Speaker 110 Change is afoot.

Speaker 91 But as Max just said,

Speaker 57 God's up to something and he's up to something good.

Speaker 28 But we have to do our part and be able to relieve some of the stress and be able to take some of the things off of the table that we can actually control.

Speaker 76 And one is, I don't know what's going to happen with the dollar.

Speaker 13 I don't know what's going to happen with jobs or anything else.

Speaker 17 But I do know that I can spread my risk around so I don't lose everything if I've got everything in my 401k and it's in stocks.

Speaker 31 Why do that? Why do that?

Speaker 97 Would you consider taking 10% of whatever it is you have in your 401k or your IRA and at least discussing with Goldline gold as an investment opportunity?

Speaker 47 It is, you know, from the very beginning of time, gold was

Speaker 87 the refuge, the shelter that people sought.

Speaker 24 Right now, Goldline is extending their price protection program for as little as $2,500.

Speaker 72 You can get three months of price protection, which means if the price goes down, they make it up with more gold, all the way up to a year of that insurance for $25,000 investment.

Speaker 17 Nobody else is offering this.

Speaker 39 Make sure you read their important risk information.

Speaker 33 Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

Speaker 51 It's not right for everybody.

Speaker 20 1-866-GoldLine.

Speaker 30 1-866-GoldLine or GoldLine.com.

Speaker 30 Glenn back.

Speaker 28 Max Lakato.

Speaker 18 A great new book everyone should read.

Speaker 16 It's called Anxious for Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World.

Speaker 114 So, this really happened the other day. My son is six and he's watching some of the people talking about the hurricane.

Speaker 153 My mom lives in Georgia, was threatened by it at one point.

Speaker 114 And he asked, why does God send hurricanes? Is it to kill people?

Speaker 114 So I surely did not answer the question correctly. But what, I mean, how do you answer something like that to a six-year-old?

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 116 How do you answer

Speaker 116 when a six-year-old's father's diagnosed with cancer

Speaker 116 or when someone's in a car wreck, like a family in our congregation was recently, and a man had his first baby on Monday and he was killed in a car wreck on Saturday?

Speaker 116 It's just these kind of things just, you know, they leave our heads spinning.

Speaker 17 And it's not even six-year-olds that ask that.

Speaker 44 There's not 60-year-olds.

Speaker 79 There's 96-year-olds that ask that question. Yeah.

Speaker 116 Why do bad things happen to good people?

Speaker 116 And I think that's where the heart of

Speaker 116 the conversation is.

Speaker 116 The real heart is, is there a God? And if he is a God, what kind of God is he? You know, is there a God? Is he in control? And if he's in control, why do bad things happen?

Speaker 99 And I think the Bible talks about that over and over.

Speaker 116 You know, Jesus said many times, for example, in this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer.

Speaker 99 I've overcome the world.

Speaker 116 The ultimate answer for human suffering, according to the Bible, is

Speaker 116 it's not supposed to be this way.

Speaker 116 It's not supposed to be this way. The world was not created to have hurricanes and tornadoes.
Our bodies were not intended to have to deal with cancer cells and

Speaker 116 heart conditions. My dad died of ALS.

Speaker 116 The body is not supposed to be this way, but there's a good day coming. There's a better day coming.
Don't lose hope. Don't give up.

Speaker 116 I promise I'm going to take what is difficult, tragic, and I'm going to redeem it into something good.

Speaker 116 And this is what led one Bible writer to say that the promise of the future glory is not worth comparing with the difficulties we have today.

Speaker 116 In other words, the small potato struggles we have are going to be long forgotten in the next life, in the new life. I know that requires faith.
I know that that's hard for some people to believe.

Speaker 116 I've tried not believing it, and I think the idea of not having faith is far more difficult to me than having faith. And so ultimately, the answer is it's not going to be this way forever.

Speaker 114 And I'm going to lay the blame at the feet of Eve.

Speaker 155 Adam and Eve are going to do it for me.

Speaker 49 I think that's what you said.

Speaker 116 Don't give them my email address, please.

Speaker 127 Max,

Speaker 95 I have

Speaker 121 a great short story to share with the audience of it's how you look at your situation that we're going to share here in a minute.

Speaker 104 And I've run out of time, but I want to come back for one more segment with you because I want you to explain C-A-L-M in a world of chaos.

Speaker 132 The answer is calm.

Speaker 17 And we get to that next.

Speaker 17 Glenn back.

Speaker 1 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 23 Max Lakato has a new book out called Anxious for Nothing.

Speaker 17 And

Speaker 125 as each passing day goes by, I kind of feel like that.

Speaker 51 I kind of feel like, you know, there are real reasons to be anxious.

Speaker 72 There's real pressure on right now.

Speaker 31 The world's changing.

Speaker 94 But really, how much of that really matters?

Speaker 125 I mean, you know, you either have the faith that it's going to be fine and we're going to make it, or you don't.

Speaker 81 And if you don't have the faith, then, you know, it's trouble.

Speaker 53 You say the answer is calm.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 116 I would even go so far as to say I think we each have a moral obligation to be peaceful people.

Speaker 4 You know, we have a moral obligation.

Speaker 116 I owe it to you and to you to be as peaceful as I can be.

Speaker 116 And rather than stir up anxiety everywhere I go, if I can learn to bring peace, like you said earlier, Glenn, one person is changed, and that person changes a family, that person

Speaker 116 changes a community, and then a state, and then a nation, and then the world. I have a moral obligation to do all I can do to be a peaceful person.

Speaker 116 Because in the long term, if enough of us do that, we create a peaceful place. And so that's why I've been so fascinated with this whole theme of anxiety.
We're an anxious nation.

Speaker 116 An anxious nation makes bad decisions. An anxious nation is on edge and anxious people cannot get along with each other.

Speaker 116 Peaceful people, on the other hand, have dialogue, have community, talk through their differences and learn to disagree agreeably. These are characteristics of peaceful people.

Speaker 116 Anyway, so all of that to say, how do you become that?

Speaker 116 The book in the Bible called Philippians is a book about peace. And in this book, the apostle says, here's four things you can do.
Number one, you celebrate God.

Speaker 116 The way he says it is, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice.
He must have been a preacher because he says everything twice. Rejoice in the Lord always.
Again, I say rejoice.

Speaker 116 So the next time you feel anxious, just take a minute and rejoice in God. Rejoice in the sunshine.

Speaker 8 Rejoice in His goodness.

Speaker 116 Rejoice in what you got. And then the Apostle says, be anxious for nothing.
There's the phrase, but in everything by prayer and petition, let your request request be made known to God.

Speaker 116 So instead of letting the anxiety settle within you, immediately lift the cause or source of that anxiety to God.

Speaker 4 Make a prayer out of it.

Speaker 116 And then the apostle says, do this with thanksgiving. That is to say, leave it with God.
And then lastly, he says, now meditate on good things.

Speaker 116 And he gives us a list of like nine different virtues upon which

Speaker 116 to meditate. In other words, set your mind on better things.
It's a real practical thing, I think, Lynn, that the apostle, who had every reason to be stressed out found peace.

Speaker 116 And he says, Here's how I do it.

Speaker 96 Max, it is good to talk to you, and that you have been an influence on my life and many, many, many people that I know.

Speaker 130 And

Speaker 130 it is great to have you. And it's mutual.

Speaker 3 Thank you,

Speaker 116 every conversation is better than the other.

Speaker 79 God bless you.

Speaker 114 The book is Anxious for Nothing, Finding Calm in a Chaotic World. Max Lakato is the author.
And thank you for helping me parent, Max. I appreciate it.

Speaker 17 I want to talk to you a little bit about what is required to actually make a change, and I believe it is hope.

Speaker 15 Sujo John, a guy that I met, he was in the North Tower on 9-11.

Speaker 20 I want to tell you his story today.

Speaker 30 He is a guy who left his hometown of Calcutta, and he only carried hope in his heart.

Speaker 33 He knew that he and his family would have a better life if he could just make it to America.

Speaker 148 I came to America in February of 2001 with $50 in my wallet and two bags. And I came to America to chase dreams.

Speaker 148 And even before coming to America, I just knew that America is a place where dreams and dreamers collide. So I came here to chase adventure and prosperity, have degrees in business.
That's all I had.

Speaker 148 And a faith to lean on and a country to put my feet on.

Speaker 103 So John and his wife, they wanted to contribute to society and elevate their careers.

Speaker 83 And they were always working hard to have the best of the best of everything.

Speaker 30 And because of that, they found themselves in the concrete jungle of Manhattan, New York City.

Speaker 148 My wife first finds work. She started working on the 71st floor of the South Tower.
And I'm frantically looking for work. And no one would employ me because I have no U.S.
work experience.

Speaker 148 And one day there's a job fair at the World Trade Center, the Merit Merit World Trade Center. And the girl who was interviewing me, she said,

Speaker 148 I want you to give this company a shot because your wife works there. It'll be great to work along with her in the same building or other building next to it.

Speaker 148 So my interview was on the 81st floor of the North Tower. And what got me was the view.
She pulled down the blinds and I see the Statue of Liberty.

Speaker 148 And for an immigrant, you know, your first job working in America and to be working in a building like the World Trade Center and to be seeing that side, I thought this would be a great shot to start with.

Speaker 39 So he had no idea.

Speaker 17 He didn't know it at the time, but that view of the Statue of Liberty would soon be obstructed with fire and smoke and debris.

Speaker 76 Just a few months after his arrival in New York, John would be a first-hand eyewitness to the most tragic event in American history.

Speaker 148 The building shook violently, jet fuel made its way into our floor, fire breaks down around us, walls collapsing, and as we look up, there's a huge crater.

Speaker 148 We can actually see ten floors directly above us.

Speaker 112 So here he is, and

Speaker 17 he tells me I couldn't even process to what was happening to the building. He said, I'm in the North Tower.

Speaker 131 The only thing that's happening is the South Tower.

Speaker 19 Because most days, he and his wife rode the subway to work together.

Speaker 20 He was in the North Tower, but she was in the South Tower.

Speaker 103 She slept in just a little bit on that day.

Speaker 23 She was due at the office in any minute.

Speaker 153 I thought so about my wife.

Speaker 148 She's four months pregnant. And I knew she was in the other tower.
She had called me saying, I'm almost there. I'll see you soon.

Speaker 36 So he tries calling her.

Speaker 10 The only thing he could do was try to make his way down 81 smoke and fire saturated floors and find her.

Speaker 16 Hope was the only thing that John had.

Speaker 148 The most amazing thing was there's just people of all backgrounds, of all color, of all nationalities, but I just saw the best of people come out that day.

Speaker 148 And when we go to the 43rd or the 44th floor, and I think, Glenn, that's the most moving side of that day. We see firemen, policemen, one by one making their way up.

Speaker 148 And as we watch these men making their way up, we would ask ourselves why are they going up?

Speaker 148 We had seen fire on almost every floor, and we had no idea then that these men were literally making their way up to their death.

Speaker 148 I often tell people when I share my story, on 9-11, the worst form of evil came and attacked America. And the first response didn't really come to the military.
The first response came to these men.

Speaker 148 They showed the world what this country was made up of. There are men and women willing to lay down their lives so that others like me could be around to be sharing our stories.

Speaker 77 So, he, with the help of

Speaker 104 the humanity of strangers, makes it out of the South Tower.

Speaker 104 And amid the chaos on the ground, he searches frantically for his wife.

Speaker 73 No avail.

Speaker 91 Then his cell phone rings.

Speaker 148 Late that day, my cell phone rings for the very first time, and it's my wife on the other side. And it was an amazing moment.
I said hello, and she says hello, and she hears my voice.

Speaker 148 But her first words to me were, Babe, are you alive?

Speaker 89 So here he is, a guy who comes here for a life-changing experience, and he gets one, just not the one he thought it would be.

Speaker 60 He and his wife both survive 9-11, even though they were in separate towers.

Speaker 87 And their their lives were forever changed.

Speaker 33 He had come to America with the hope of prosperity, but he wanted something more.

Speaker 27 When John got to work the morning of September 11, 2001, this is before the planes crashed in the towers, I want you to listen to the prayer that was answered.

Speaker 36 Just before the planes hit,

Speaker 74 he sent an email to his friend.

Speaker 148 I wrote an email at 8:05 in the morning from the towers to a friend of mine in my home church in New Jersey saying, Tom, something's happening to me this morning.

Speaker 148 I know there's a call of God up on my life. These last six months, I've been chasing stuff.
I can't explain to you what I'm going through right now.

Speaker 148 I want to be chasing after that which is on God's heart. So I sent that email from the towers at 8:05, and after about 40 minutes, this plane comes crashing.

Speaker 148 So I often joke about that by saying, I think God reads the email.

Speaker 47 He answers our prayers in unbelievable ways, and usually not the way we expect.

Speaker 11 Well, we're in the middle of it.

Speaker 64 Sometimes it's the way we're like, no, no, I didn't mean that.

Speaker 121 No, not this way.

Speaker 19 Glenn back.

Speaker 21 Hillary Clinton's new book comes out, and much to my surprise,

Speaker 23 she happens to be in the studio today.

Speaker 17 And Stu, I guess

Speaker 17 we've allowed her to use one of our studios to record the video portion of her book.

Speaker 71 Is that what?

Speaker 114 Well, I mean, I kind of look at this as charity work. I know a lot of people helping with Houston and Irma and everything.

Speaker 114 Hillary needed a studio to record the video book, and we have a studio, so we thought like

Speaker 19 wow, it is surprising that she took us up.

Speaker 32 But

Speaker 54 welcome to the program,

Speaker 99 Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 98 Thank you.

Speaker 111 Right. Thank you.

Speaker 17 You look, if you happen to be watching on the Blaze TV or online, you might notice Hillary looks,

Speaker 54 I mean, a little puffy, but you look nice.

Speaker 114 I would describe it as better than normal.

Speaker 121 Might be the lighting.

Speaker 49 Thank you. Might be the lighting.
Are we here?

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 4 No, go ahead. We want to hear

Speaker 117 some.

Speaker 17 We want to hear the excerpts of the book from Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 16 These are the actual excerpts from the book.

Speaker 100 It is hard to be a woman. You must think like a man, act like a lady,

Speaker 40 look like a young girl,

Speaker 26 and work like a horse.

Speaker 157 Now, I have that sign hanging in my home.

Speaker 4 Do you? I didn't know.

Speaker 100 It gets me through the day.

Speaker 4 Really?

Speaker 11 Really?

Speaker 11 Did you come up with that yourself?

Speaker 100 It's a sign that I've had for years.

Speaker 72 You've had that for years.

Speaker 79 That's very nice.

Speaker 63 That's very nice.

Speaker 100 You know, when I was writing the book, I wanted to write about

Speaker 100 exactly what happened through this last election.

Speaker 47 Oh, he seems to be going down a little bit

Speaker 122 you might lose bill told me right

Speaker 98 another

Speaker 4 that's true uh he was at the end of the excerpt of the book he was he nailed that one right he did he nailed that

Speaker 156 in politics the personal narrative is vital my husband had a powerful story to tell Barack Obama had a powerful story to tell

Speaker 100 few people would say that my story was quite so dazzling.

Speaker 4 She knows she's boring.

Speaker 17 She's actually aware of it. And by the way, you were reading.

Speaker 114 You know, Jeffy, I appreciate your impersonation here.

Speaker 11 However, holy cow. Wait a minute.
That's Jeffy? Yeah, no, I know. You can start Jeffy.

Speaker 4 I'm surprised.

Speaker 145 Oh, wow.

Speaker 63 I had no idea.

Speaker 114 You have way too much inflection in your voice for her crappy read on this audiobook.

Speaker 115 If you've heard any of that, it is terrible.

Speaker 71 She is bad. All right.

Speaker 4 Is there more?

Speaker 100 I grew up in a white middle-class family in Park Ridge. That's a suburb of Chicago.
My life looked like the lives of all the girls I knew.

Speaker 100 We attended excellent public or parochial schools where first-rate teachers had high expectations. I went to our local Methodist church for Sunday services and youth activities all week long.

Speaker 100 I was a brownie, then a Girl Scout.

Speaker 100 It's a story that many would consider perfectly ordinary.

Speaker 117 What an uninspiring tale.

Speaker 98 This is horrible.

Speaker 100 But my story, or at least how I've always told it, was never the kind of narrative that made anyone sit up and take notice.

Speaker 151 This is so sad.

Speaker 100 We yearn for that show-stopping tale, that one-sentence pitch that captures something magical about America that hooks you and won't let go.

Speaker 79 How about not turning a socialist? Do you have that line on there?

Speaker 157 Mine wasn't it.

Speaker 151 Does that she really write that?

Speaker 147 Mine wasn't it?

Speaker 151 This is so depressing.

Speaker 11 So, so the name of the book is what happened?

Speaker 127 And

Speaker 9 here's the Blaze put together a list of all of the excuses from Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 49 So what happened?

Speaker 68 Russian interference through disinformation campaign, WikiLeaks, or Trump-Russia collusion.

Speaker 54 James Comey's criminal investigation of her private email server.

Speaker 91 poor data vota, voter, sorry, poor voter data from the Democratic National Committee, poor or voter suppression and voter ID laws, sexism, racism, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Jill Stein, the mainstream media, specifically the New York Times for aggressively covering her email scandal, the Electoral College, bad polling, people who assumed she would win, gullible Americans, and fake news.

Speaker 14 That's it, though. But

Speaker 114 legitimate excuses, Hillary?

Speaker 100 I mean, are we here for your list or my excerpts?

Speaker 29 Well, Happen is available in bookstores everywhere, and Hillary will be joining us again for another inspiring.

Speaker 31 Yeah, inspiring queue.

Speaker 114 And if you're listening on the radio and you want to see Hillary as Jeffy on Facebook Live, you can go there right now and see it. It's worth it.

Speaker 3 Whoa.

Speaker 3 Glenn back.

Speaker 3 Love.

Speaker 3 Courage.

Speaker 5 Truth.

Speaker 128 We choose to go to the moon and this decayed and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Speaker 17 That was 55 years ago today. I don't know what it is

Speaker 17 with the date of 9-12, but we decided to go to the moon on 9-12.

Speaker 96 That speech happened in Houston.

Speaker 70 Kennedy gave his famous, we choose to go to the moon.

Speaker 55 12 years after Sputnik,

Speaker 20 we went from getting laughed at

Speaker 51 to landing men on the moon.

Speaker 13 October 4th, 1957, Soviet Union successfully launched what was called Sputnik into orbit.

Speaker 33 It was the first satellite.

Speaker 78 Soviets were kicking our butt.

Speaker 17 Two months later, we tried to keep pace by launching the Vanguard TV-3.

Speaker 17 It exploded on the launch pad.

Speaker 32 We were the laughingstock.

Speaker 15 But it was the Sputnik moment that changed everything.

Speaker 23 We realized that we had to roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Speaker 23 And thus began the modern-day space race.

Speaker 107 The race is.

Speaker 105 We're already afoot,

Speaker 16 but space alone

Speaker 21 was not really the objective.

Speaker 102 At least not with the Soviets.

Speaker 41 Now the space race is over, but there is a new objective.

Speaker 112 And this time, the space race, the new space race, is on AI.

Speaker 13 And I think the Sputnik moment has already occurred.

Speaker 70 The race is on now to be the first to build intelligent machines.

Speaker 122 The nation that develops AI, quote, will be the ruler of the world.

Speaker 56 And that's what Vladimir Putin said to a group of students last week in Russia.

Speaker 34 This was his version of we choose to go to the moon.

Speaker 22 Styles are a little bit different.

Speaker 53 Kennedy was at his inspirational best.

Speaker 108 Putin was classic Putin.

Speaker 56 Quote, when one party's drones are destroyed by drones of another, we will have no choice but to surrender.

Speaker 56 The race now is on,

Speaker 4 but not towards the heavens.

Speaker 65 What is it we're creating now?

Speaker 20 Last year, the microchip maker Nvidia began testing their version of self-driving cars, but this car was different than the ones being tested by Google and Apple and Tesla.

Speaker 80 This car was not programmed by a human.

Speaker 20 This car programmed itself.

Speaker 18 It learned to drive by watching a human drive, and then it wrote its own program.

Speaker 20 It's the latest development that AI

Speaker 10 has

Speaker 24 and has all of its supporters

Speaker 102 excited and is all of its naysayers scared.

Speaker 67 It's called deep learning.

Speaker 46 And the problem is, is some of these systems are becoming so complex that the human creators don't even understand them anymore.

Speaker 20 Machines Machines that are writing their own code and learning how to make decisions without being prompted to do so.

Speaker 16 Their style of reason and thought is completely alien to the researchers trying to figure it out, trying to figure out what we created.

Speaker 60 This is what the world is racing to create.

Speaker 46 Super intelligence that learns on its own, thinks in a completely alien way,

Speaker 80 and has no human morality.

Speaker 43 With the way we're going with human morality right now, maybe that's a good thing.

Speaker 20 But the question is:

Speaker 20 the AI race is on, and Putin has just given his go-to-the-moon speech.

Speaker 118 But 55 years from now, will history remember us as the winners or the losers of the AI race, no matter which side wins?

Speaker 84 It's Tuesday, September 12th.

Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 57 29-year-old advertising guy sits down and he writes a book for his two daughters.

Speaker 16 He makes copies of it and he gives it to some friends.

Speaker 57 And it starts to be passed around.

Speaker 48 And pretty soon people are calling the bookstore saying, how can I get a copy of this book?

Speaker 15 They don't even know what it is

Speaker 92 because it was just a, it was, it was was a Xerox copy of something that the guy had written for his daughters

Speaker 66 It wasn't too much longer that there were 8 million copies of that one book in print and a number one television movie of the year.

Speaker 78 It was called The Christmas Box The author, the dad, the advertising guy was Richard Paul Evans.

Speaker 31 He sold more than 17 million books, written 26 novels.

Speaker 17 Four of his books have been made into television movies.

Speaker 66 In 2011, he called me and he said, I have this idea for a seven-book series.

Speaker 16 It's called Michael Vay.

Speaker 19 And it is a story that I've just been told by publishers is too smart to be a kid's book.

Speaker 91 And I said, don't ever underestimate the youth.

Speaker 43 He said, right?

Speaker 75 He sent me a copy of the first book, and Mercury Inc.

Speaker 131 said,

Speaker 78 we'll help you publish this.

Speaker 91 It's now been a bestseller and the seventh novel is out now.

Speaker 101 It is the last.

Speaker 42 Michael Vay, The Final Spark, it comes out today.

Speaker 27 And if I have not read this one, if it is like the other six,

Speaker 23 it is going to be thrilling to the end.

Speaker 19 And I'm going to be really upset that it is the last one.

Speaker 31 Richard Paul Evans, welcome.

Speaker 44 It's good to be here, Glenn. Thank you.

Speaker 56 So is this really the last one?

Speaker 44 I don't know.

Speaker 2 It is for right now because I've been writing three books a year, and they offered me a million dollars to write the next one. I said, I will have to write it from a psych ward.
I go,

Speaker 2 I am writing non-stop. I have no life.

Speaker 129 It's like, I will snap.

Speaker 2 I can't. So I need basically a year.

Speaker 2 I still have other contracts, finish them out, and then maybe come back. And part of me doesn't want to do that because I love to keep something just special.

Speaker 29 And this one was, I mean, when you first talked to me about it, you, you were really, really clear that this wasn't, this was almost downloaded to you.

Speaker 44 Still is.

Speaker 2 Someone asked me how the book ends, and I go,

Speaker 2 I look at book seven, and there were things in book one that if I had not put them there,

Speaker 2 book seven would not have been possible. And when I put them in the first book, I thought, where's this going? Why am I, why is he growing in power? That has no point in the book.

Speaker 2 There are some things that were happening that became completely relevant. I didn't know it until the last year.

Speaker 132 Why is this book downloaded like that to you?

Speaker 2 Because I think there's a deeper message. I think it's a very spiritual message.
It's by far the most complex thing I've ever written, even though it's

Speaker 18 unbelievably and it's so consistent.

Speaker 50 I mean,

Speaker 49 you've been writing this for eight years, nine years?

Speaker 50 Seven years. Seven years?

Speaker 97 And

Speaker 38 I picked it up. I've only read the first chapter of this one, but it picks up right exactly where it was.

Speaker 23 And I mean, the complexity of this story over seven years and seven books is really difficult.

Speaker 2 Right. The French publisher said, we want an ark for the whole thing.
I said, I have no arc. I don't know where it's going.
I don't know how it ends.

Speaker 2 And it really wasn't until about nine months ago that I thought, oh, my goodness, really? That's what happens. I go, this has actually followed.
some sacred scripture all the way through.

Speaker 2 I go, this is kind of amazing. Amazing.
You know, I told you beginning, like the names were downloaded to me. And then I realized that their initial spelled Mount Zion.
I go, come on, that's bizarre.

Speaker 2 right? That's just a bizarre coincidence.

Speaker 100 But I have found more coincidences like that throughout the book.

Speaker 23 And you think that this book is, I mean, it is, my son,

Speaker 23 I don't think my son has enjoyed a series.

Speaker 82 I don't even think Percy Jackson, he made it all through all of them and liked them towards the end.

Speaker 29 And this has been seven years, and every summer we read it and love it every single time.

Speaker 31 It's a tradition with us.

Speaker 97 And

Speaker 23 I don't think there's another book series that he has made it all the way through that he has liked all the way through because he grew, you know, seven years.

Speaker 31 It's half his life.

Speaker 13 And he's grown up with this now.

Speaker 17 And he, it's still as relevant to him now.

Speaker 31 You know, you think, you know, you're 13 years old.

Speaker 16 Okay.

Speaker 52 It's not.

Speaker 16 It's not.

Speaker 17 You know, and he's reading.

Speaker 47 He's reading everything.

Speaker 131 Jeez, this summer,

Speaker 72 he was reading it for the love of P.

Speaker 121 But

Speaker 23 he loves it, and he loves the messages in it.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 47 it's pretty remarkable what's happening with the youth that are reading it.

Speaker 2 That's absolutely true. I had a young woman.
Well, you remember our first book signings. They were like mostly adults.
They look like my adult book signings with a few kids.

Speaker 2 We just did a launch party for Michael Vay. We had between four and 5,000 kids come to it.

Speaker 2 But a few weeks ago, I received a letter from a young woman in Paris, and she said, Mr. Evans, you've probably been wondering where I've been.
And I said to my assistant, who is this?

Speaker 2 She goes, oh, she writes about it every month, every week. And she says, I'm not doing well.
I'm in the hospital. I tried to kill myself.

Speaker 2 She said, I have one friend in this world, and it's Michael Vay. And he gives me the strength to go on.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I said, let's get her immediately. And I told her that Michael loves her, I love her, and that just how Michael has to face the Elgin and his doctor hatches.

Speaker 118 You will too, but you're going to do okay.

Speaker 2 And just hang in there. This is a hard time of life.
And I think that's why I have so many youth who have disabilities, who have struggles.

Speaker 2 Even at my book signing, one group came and I just, I held one young woman, she kept crying. She said, my father died during the second book.

Speaker 2 She goes, Michael Vay has been there with me the whole time through it. So she goes, I don't know what to do now that the seventh book is out.

Speaker 2 So the book means, to me, it's a very spiritual book in a sense that it, I mean, it's here to heal and to help kids.

Speaker 17 Tell the story for anybody who hasn't read it.

Speaker 43 Tell the story.

Speaker 2 Michael is a 15-year-old boy with Tourette syndrome who discovers he has electricity in his body, and he can shock people, basically, but he doesn't know what this is about and why he has this power.

Speaker 2 He learns that he's one of 17 kids who were an accident through kind of an MRI machine, and

Speaker 2 that there's a group trying to find them because they realize that they can create a better race than what's on this earth right now.

Speaker 2 And that's what it's about.

Speaker 114 There were a lot more than 17 kids who were accidents in this world. You should know that.
There's been a lot of crazy things that have happened, just to be clear.

Speaker 87 You have Tourette's.

Speaker 89 Your son has Tourette's. Yes.

Speaker 23 But this is not, what's interesting about this is, I think there is every kid is in this book.

Speaker 133 No matter if you were the outcast or you were the popular one,

Speaker 72 you were the bully or you were bullied.

Speaker 23 Every kid is in this book.

Speaker 97 And

Speaker 131 I think that is the secret of this is they

Speaker 27 everybody, every kid who reads it sees themselves, finds themselves in that character, or you knew that character growing up.

Speaker 4 I agree.

Speaker 2 And I, you know, what's been interesting about this, Glenn, is that the publishing world has largely ignored it.

Speaker 2 The day it was, remember we're sitting here and the book was number one in the New York Times. Yes.

Speaker 2 And the Wall Street Journal did a story on the next big YA book, and it didn't even mention Michael Vay. It was not only number one, it was six times higher than the book next to it.

Speaker 2 Even today, it's like I had a book signing with 5,000 people, and I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 I've been attacked by having a male hero as if this is a bad thing. Boys need heroes right now so bad.

Speaker 44 Big time.

Speaker 150 Yeah, and it's like.

Speaker 22 This is really, you know, you know what I compare this to is

Speaker 16 the Flash series now that's now on television, where it's it's a boy hero.

Speaker 68 He's a great role model, loves his parents, has all of these great things going for him.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 52 I think it's what people want, but I don't think that's what the media wants.

Speaker 4 I don't think they don't want that.

Speaker 19 They don't want something that, you know, a boy who loves his mother and treats his mother with respect and treats others with respect and does the right thing.

Speaker 23 And yes, he is the hero of the story.

Speaker 82 And while there are other girls around that also are heroines in the story, you know, they're separate and distinct and they all have their own thing.

Speaker 4 I don't think that's what, I don't think that's what, that's what the people want.

Speaker 16 I don't think that's what culture is saying that is acceptable.

Speaker 44 That's exactly right.

Speaker 116 That's true.

Speaker 2 We see it like when they came out with Maze Runner, and it was a young boy series, and it was one of the few YA books that made money in the movies. And it's like, well, big surprise.

Speaker 2 It's like, well, boys like this.

Speaker 47 They want to read.

Speaker 4 And the girls girls will read either way.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 there's some very, very strong girl characters. Taylor is just

Speaker 2 as strong as Michael. He takes counsel from her.

Speaker 44 This isn't a gender war.

Speaker 2 These are people trying to get along. And like you said, I remember a school teacher saying to me, Michael loves his mother.
She was like, freaked out. Like, he loves his mother.
He says so.

Speaker 2 It's like, well, yeah, most. boys do love their mother.

Speaker 44 This is reality.

Speaker 2 And so I think Michael Vay has this truth to it that resonates with kids. It's also, I just, I hear from,

Speaker 2 I hear every single day, multiple letters every day for the last seven years saying, you got my kid to read.

Speaker 115 And when I hear,

Speaker 2 every single day, it's like, this is the only book or only series my kid has ever read, especially the reluctant male readers.

Speaker 2 One school teacher said in 18 years is the first time every student in the class finished the assignment. One boy took his grade from an F to an A minus because he practically memorized Michael Vay.

Speaker 2 And I said, well, because you have to give them books they like to read. I was a reluctant reader.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so was I.

Speaker 150 I didn't read till I found The Hobbit.

Speaker 75 The Hobbit changed my world.

Speaker 2 I realized that reading actually could be fun.

Speaker 2 And The Hobbit's a very intelligent book, right?

Speaker 2 And when I pick it up, it's like, there's no pictures in here. Why would I want to read this? And the next thing I know, it's like, I want to be in the reading book.

Speaker 30 For me, it was Sherlock Holmes.

Speaker 16 And I think this happens

Speaker 4 with Michael Vay.

Speaker 32 I read Sherlock Holmes.

Speaker 111 I was probably 18, maybe 19 years old. Hated reading.

Speaker 38 Found that book, and I read it, I think, two or three times because I was like, no other book could be this.

Speaker 43 I mean, this is really good, right?

Speaker 86 And so you just read it over and over again

Speaker 92 until you get sick of it, and you're like, what if there's something else?

Speaker 114 And then once you go down that rabbit hole, Rafe

Speaker 72 hated to read. He told me.

Speaker 52 He must have been six, right around this time.

Speaker 121 Never going to read. I don't like to read dad.

Speaker 28 I don't like to read books. I don't.

Speaker 121 Now, Tanya and I feel like the worst parent in the world because we were always saying, you say that to him.

Speaker 31 I'm not going to say that to him.

Speaker 38 Put the book down.

Speaker 4 Go out and do something.

Speaker 22 Go play a video game.

Speaker 9 Put the book down.

Speaker 122 Go put the book down.

Speaker 125 And I think Michael Vay had a lot to do with that.

Speaker 20 The book comes out today.

Speaker 17 If you have not read the series, this is the last in the series.

Speaker 57 Does it have a satisfying ending?

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 44 It has a very powerful ending.

Speaker 114 Does it have a Death Star in it?

Speaker 2 No. No.
And no Tyrannosaurus Rex Moore.

Speaker 2 I read the last page to my assistant, and she broke down crying.

Speaker 116 And she goes, My friends,

Speaker 2 you'll love the ending. The big question is, where's Michael Vay?

Speaker 2 It will shock you, no pun intended,

Speaker 2 when you find out what's really going on. There's so many reveals.
You'll feel like, wow, after seven years, I finally get it.

Speaker 12 Is there a TV show coming?

Speaker 36 Looks like it.

Speaker 2 At the launch party, we had Hollywood executives there. Excellent.
And

Speaker 2 the crowd was crazy.

Speaker 30 Excellent. Excellent.

Speaker 72 This will be a great TV show.

Speaker 17 It is a great series. Pick it up.

Speaker 42 Michael Vay, The Final Spark.

Speaker 47 If you haven't started, start from the beginning. You will not regret it, and you read it with your kids.

Speaker 41 It is a fantastic series.

Speaker 114 Michael Vay, The Final Spark, is the seventh book in the Michael Vay series. series.

Speaker 114 You can buy all of them. He didn't take the other ones off the market, so you can catch up whenever you want.
We'll tweet the link at World of Stew on Twitter.

Speaker 31 glen back

Speaker 30 We we I want to come back.

Speaker 133 If we don't have time today, I want to come back tomorrow to Jim Carrey.

Speaker 17 This audio that

Speaker 77 came out yesterday is disturbing, I think.

Speaker 67 What do you think of that?

Speaker 107 It was bizarre. Yeah.

Speaker 114 Completely bizarre. But that's kind of him, right?

Speaker 114 You don't think that that's his?

Speaker 63 No, I think there's... No, I think there is.

Speaker 75 I just, I don't have a good feeling about this.

Speaker 114 Because the last clip we played was really him being introspective and talking about faith, and it was great.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 26 So

Speaker 78 he's either really gotten it or he's gone over the edge.

Speaker 16 I'm not sure which. And it's a fine line.

Speaker 74 He's almost nihilistic in what he said today.

Speaker 86 Now, you know, there's nothing of value here.

Speaker 39 None of this celebrity stuff means anything.

Speaker 121 That's all good.

Speaker 130 But

Speaker 113 is that as far as he's going?

Speaker 23 You know what I mean? Is that what he's saying?

Speaker 134 Or is he like, nothing has meaning?

Speaker 41 I'm not sure.

Speaker 125 It was a very bizarre interview, especially if you watch it.

Speaker 33 You can check it at theblaze.com.

Speaker 16 Also, today at 5 o'clock on the Blaze TV doing a special, Stu and I are going to take you behind the scenes on 9-12.

Speaker 17 This is the day that we started the network. This is the day that we changed our lives.
This was the 9-12 project.

Speaker 65 This is a really important day for us.

Speaker 31 Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 114 And there's a lot of, I mean, we have a lot of cool clips from back in the day going through all of these events and behind-the-scenes stories, etc., etc., and your phone calls

Speaker 18 tonight, five o'clock, the Blaze TV.

Speaker 18 Glenn back.

Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 68 We have Hillary Clinton still coming up in studio in just a few minutes that you don't want to miss.

Speaker 158 Hazar out in the hallway.

Speaker 79 She's

Speaker 118 quite lovely. Yes.

Speaker 118 She's surprisingly beautiful.

Speaker 71 Was it awkward for you?

Speaker 158 A tad, you know, yes, we have said some things about her, but she seemed to be understanding about it.

Speaker 13 So she'll be joining us here and reading excerpts from her new book.

Speaker 61 Very nice.

Speaker 41 Which is out called What happened

Speaker 4 uh

Speaker 13 don't want to miss that um so pat is here yesterday pat started his own radio program on the blaze radio immediately following this program uh and uh you can find that at theblaze.com uh on tv and radio and it went really well yesterday people were like wow he like wow can he talk by himself he can do that

Speaker 158 yeah we're like but he can't walk at the same time right no well we haven't we're not even asking we're not we're not trying that we're not gonna try that right now um you're bringing us some some news today about Miss America.

Speaker 28 The Miss America pageant happened, and the contestants were asked all kinds of.

Speaker 158 Yeah, well, Miss America is now apparently solving deeply troubling geopolitical crises. Yeah, and I feel pretty good about that.

Speaker 118 Here's one of the...

Speaker 115 They were all political, every single one of them.

Speaker 111 Here's one of the questions.

Speaker 116 Jess Kagle.

Speaker 150 Last month, a demonstration of neo-Nazis watching Miss Texas and the KKK in Charlottesville, Virginia turned violent and a counter-protester was killed.

Speaker 150 The president said there was shared blame with, quote, very fine people on both sides. Were there? Tell me yes or no and explain.

Speaker 84 I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack.

Speaker 84 And I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier addressing this act and making sure

Speaker 158 okay, thanks, Putin.

Speaker 158 Go put on your bikini, will you, please? I mean, come on, we're talking about 20-year-old beauty contestants here, not senior fellows at some egg-headed political think tank.

Speaker 34 Well, hang on, Miss America is supposed to be

Speaker 4 supposed to be

Speaker 11 smarter.

Speaker 158 She can play the piano and she can help children.

Speaker 4 Those are the things she can do.

Speaker 158 This is like interviewing an applicant for a job at 7-Eleven and asking them to use Lagrangian mechanics to solve Lagrangian equations of the second kind.

Speaker 4 Of course,

Speaker 9 we didn't know the first kind.

Speaker 14 Well, I mean, please don't be insulting.

Speaker 114 If you don't see the first kind, can you see the second kind?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 43 I saw close encounters of the first kind.

Speaker 47 Does that count?

Speaker 14 No, that does not.

Speaker 158 But we also want you to use judicious choices of generalized coordinates while you do it before you can touch our slurpee machine or sell a single four-day-old hot dog.

Speaker 151 Why are we asking these questions of Miss America?

Speaker 158 Because Miss Texas answers it that way.

Speaker 88 Because, you know what? Honestly, this is just shaping the culture.

Speaker 14 You notice there was a trap there.

Speaker 36 Yes or no.

Speaker 63 Right, right. And then explain.

Speaker 9 So if you answered yes,

Speaker 64 no one is going to listen. No one is going to listen.

Speaker 56 All they're going to play is yes, and you're out.

Speaker 53 Your life is destroyed.

Speaker 32 And that's what that is.

Speaker 42 It's all about boxing people into

Speaker 36 one point of view, one simple, mindless mindless answer.

Speaker 114 And we can't get the media to hold presidential candidates to the standard of actually answering yes or no.

Speaker 4 Why does Miss America have to do it? Trump was never

Speaker 158 pinned down during the campaign, if you remember right.

Speaker 14 I mean, he

Speaker 67 was a little bit worried about the word.

Speaker 94 Hillary was.

Speaker 117 By the way, he was never pinned down.

Speaker 2 Don't talk about Hillary.

Speaker 129 She's right out in the hall.

Speaker 98 She's out in the hall.

Speaker 53 Will you stay for that, Pat?

Speaker 4 I would love to.

Speaker 42 I mean, it might feel, I don't want to feel like we're ganging up on her, but it will be three against one at that point, though.

Speaker 114 I just want to hear from her book and ask tough questions about her.

Speaker 33 Okay, so we'll get to that here in a second.

Speaker 17 But anyway, so the so Miss America, was anybody else cornered with these?

Speaker 43 Yes, almost every contestant was asked some sort.

Speaker 158 Actually, one of them, and I don't remember from what state, but she was asked about the Russian interference in the election, whether it happened, what is your verdict? You're on the jury now.

Speaker 158 Please answer. And she actually said, innocent right now, because I don't have enough evidence, which I thought was amazing.

Speaker 158 It's really amazing.

Speaker 114 It's interesting. I wonder if part of this is the desire to get in like sort of YouTube culture to get the we don't have maps moment that happened to what was it, Miss Teen, South Carolina.

Speaker 114 Like they want to stump them into some dumb answer so that that can be the what kind of show would you what?

Speaker 22 Okay, I'm going to sign up to be Miss America.

Speaker 57 I'm going to sign up to be anything.

Speaker 64 And the people who are judging it are setting me up to destroy my life.

Speaker 122 Not just to make me

Speaker 11 destroy my entire life.

Speaker 114 Welcome to every reality show on television, by the way.

Speaker 67 But that you volunteer for? Because you're volunteering.

Speaker 71 We don't have a draft culture in Miss America.

Speaker 4 They all volunteer. You think not.

Speaker 98 You think not.

Speaker 158 I can also say for Miss Teens, South Carolina,

Speaker 158 that maps answer was in 2007. Stu and I were still playing that on our show last week.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 4 that was huge for her.

Speaker 145 It was huge for her. That was huge.

Speaker 118 Yeah, she's thrilled.

Speaker 122 She's thrilled.

Speaker 117 She's made a career out of it.

Speaker 11 She's thrilled that the band is broken up.

Speaker 14 We're getting it back together this Friday, though.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 14 Yeah, Glenn out this Friday. A little Pat and Stu reunion tour.

Speaker 116 We'll be filling in.

Speaker 76 I'm going to Nantucket this weekend.

Speaker 24 I'm speaking two or three times at what's called the Nantucket Project.

Speaker 69 Pretty cool.

Speaker 18 And the Farrelly brothers have decided that they were not coming because I was going to be there.

Speaker 118 Oh, I believe that.

Speaker 4 Really?

Speaker 111 Wow.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Wait,

Speaker 4 wait, how am I learning about this now?

Speaker 158 They want no part of you. I could imagine that.
So they were coming and now they're not.

Speaker 76 I've heard that they were not coming, but who knows?

Speaker 14 Because aren't the Farrelly Brothers sisters now?

Speaker 4 Aren't they both women? I don't.

Speaker 114 I think you're thinking of the people who did The Matrix,

Speaker 114 which is a different.

Speaker 114 Fairley Brothers did, like, there's something about Mary, right?

Speaker 43 Is that

Speaker 11 they've done some great comedies

Speaker 71 with Chowsky Brothers or the ones

Speaker 114 which are not brothers anymore now

Speaker 115 or sisters, but they're diverse families.

Speaker 15 So, anyway, so I guess, I guess, I guess at least one of them was not real happy and was like, not going to come.

Speaker 73 And I don't know if he's coming or not, or they're coming or not.

Speaker 114 So, you found even more people who don't like you.

Speaker 36 Oh, no.

Speaker 64 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 115 So, so, so, so, the, so the, the organizer says so.

Speaker 42 So, we want you actually, you know, they're Thursday night.

Speaker 125 We'd like you to kind of open things up.

Speaker 91 And I said,

Speaker 108 I'm not popular with your crowd.

Speaker 94 And

Speaker 88 he said,

Speaker 4 yeah, I know, but that's, you know, that's

Speaker 69 kind of the thing.

Speaker 22 We're trying to get people to open their minds.

Speaker 111 Why do you say yes to this?

Speaker 4 I don't know why.

Speaker 122 I don't know why.

Speaker 59 Because I keep, I go into these things thinking that, you know,

Speaker 68 just change one person. Just change one person and open their mind.

Speaker 127 Good luck. I know.

Speaker 114 You changed two people to not go to this festival.

Speaker 3 That's right.

Speaker 115 So congratulations.

Speaker 4 It's worked. You changed two minds.

Speaker 118 Congratulations. That's nice.

Speaker 50 So anyway, so while you two are clowning around,

Speaker 4 I'll lose 80 pounds of sweat.

Speaker 158 I don't know how you do it. I really don't.

Speaker 158 There's no way I would say yes to that.

Speaker 17 So he says to me, he says, you know, we want you to.

Speaker 71 Which we want you to talk about.

Speaker 72 The first session.

Speaker 154 Oh, this is that conversation?

Speaker 158 Because I heard this conversation the other day, and

Speaker 14 he wants you to talk about God?

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 115 And I said, atheist convention, basically.

Speaker 57 No, it's not an atheist convention, but it's not exactly a conservative convention.

Speaker 158 I mean, and are they religious?

Speaker 73 I don't know.

Speaker 64 I have no idea. And I said, oh,

Speaker 11 so you could take the guy that everybody wants to put into a cage and you want him to just stand up on stage in his first introduction and just say, Jesus,

Speaker 145 that's going to make me wildly popular.

Speaker 114 No, I mean, we had Tom Scott on the show.

Speaker 118 He's the guy.

Speaker 114 He founded Nantucket Nectars, one of the guys that founded that.

Speaker 114 This is the Nantucket project, which is a really cool thing. He's a good guy.
We talked to him.

Speaker 71 He's very open to different viewpoints.

Speaker 60 And he's conservative.

Speaker 51 Oh, is he?

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
He is.

Speaker 118 And isn't he featured in Friction or one of the books we read, right?

Speaker 4 I'm not sure.

Speaker 158 I think his example, the example of his company is cited in there.

Speaker 114 Right, because he started the company by bringing peach juice to different boats in the harbor.

Speaker 71 That's right, it is.

Speaker 114 And it grew into an incredible company, which I wanted to ask him when he was here.

Speaker 4 He's like, I mean,

Speaker 14 peach juice?

Speaker 114 Like, I like peach juice, but bringing peach juice to boats, that's how you built this company?

Speaker 4 That's how he built it.

Speaker 72 And then he sold it to Cranberry or Cran Apple or

Speaker 4 $250 million.

Speaker 117 Ocean spray.

Speaker 4 Ocean spray, cran apple. That's what I'm thinking.
Sold it to the cranberries. No, it was Cadbury.

Speaker 115 That's what you're thinking. It was Cadbury Swebs.

Speaker 4 It was.

Speaker 118 It was Cadbury Schwebs.

Speaker 158 And it was hundreds of millions, right?

Speaker 14 Yeah. It was 250.

Speaker 16 Yeah, they don't think they've ever announced how much it was, but it was a lot.

Speaker 4 No, he told us the story.

Speaker 114 He got a call and they said, hey,

Speaker 114 we kind of want to talk to you about potentially buying it. And so he, in preparation for the call, had no idea how much his company was worth and just thought,

Speaker 114 and he did some math and he tried to figure out, okay, this is about what they're going to offer me. When they got the call, they offered him 10 times the amount he had planned.

Speaker 118 I mean,

Speaker 118 how great would that be?

Speaker 145 Can you imagine?

Speaker 94 Oh, wow. You take that.

Speaker 11 So now that's, I mean, you got to put yourself in his shoes.

Speaker 107 Now he's just, now he's just looking for fun.

Speaker 101 Now he's like,

Speaker 117 who should be in a room?

Speaker 118 Who can I have crucified here on

Speaker 118 to bring into a room and just watch what happened?

Speaker 81 Hillary Clinton coming up in just a second.

Speaker 11 It's the dead of the night, and you're abruptly woken by the sound of glass shattering.

Speaker 43 Somebody in your house?

Speaker 42 You reach over, you unlock your night, stand safe, your hand closes around your handgun, its weight feels familiar in your hand because you've done it a million times.

Speaker 16 You've been there before, but this time it's real.

Speaker 13 Your training is kicking in, and the rest of what happens is a blur.

Speaker 17 You have to protect your family from an intruder who intended to cause them harm or worse.

Speaker 62 I don't care if the guy is dead or wounded, but you drew a gun, and if you fired it especially,

Speaker 17 you can breathe a sigh of relief for a second.

Speaker 76 The family is shaken.

Speaker 17 But when police arrive, they're not going to immediately hail you as a hero.

Speaker 76 In fact, you're probably going to be forcefully questioned and arrested, especially depending on where you're from in the country.

Speaker 150 Keeping your family safe does not stop when the smoke clears.

Speaker 23 Knowing what you need to say and what you shouldn't say when the police arrive is the single most important thing that you can discover today that would mean the difference between you walking away being free and going home to your family and a jail cell.

Speaker 10 There is an organization now that is protecting the protectors, and that is the USCCA.

Speaker 23 Go to protectandefend.com and claim your copy of the USCCA's free guide that will uncover the six things you didn't know would happen when the police arrive.

Speaker 46 That's protectandefend.com.

Speaker 68 Protectandefend.com.

Speaker 68 Glenn back

Speaker 47 There is a mighty wind blowing

Speaker 10 and it is uh Hillary Clinton's new book called What Happened?

Speaker 42 And she's been trying to figure it out and as the Blaze reported yesterday, there's I think it's literally 15 things that she has blamed the election on, her loss of the election.

Speaker 31 But Hillary Clinton is joining us here in studio now.

Speaker 157 Thank you.

Speaker 157 I didn't want to name everyone who was at fault

Speaker 118 when they asked me for the list.

Speaker 24 But you are taking personal responsibility.

Speaker 100 I'm here to read some excerpts from that.

Speaker 73 So it's out now, and here are some excerpts from the book.

Speaker 67 Will Hoppen,

Speaker 86 as read by Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 100 For the record, it hurts to be torn apart.

Speaker 100 It may seem like it doesn't bother me to be called terrible names or have my looks mocked viciously.

Speaker 118 But it does. Who would do that? We wouldn't do that.

Speaker 100 I'm used to it. I've grown what Eleanor Roosevelt said women in politics need.
A skin as thick as rhinoceros hide.

Speaker 33 I'll bet yours is seems to be.

Speaker 98 Plus,

Speaker 158 I mean, it looks like rhinoceros hide.

Speaker 100 I've always had a healthy self-esteem, thanks no doubt to my parents who never once told me that I had to worry about being prettier or thinner.

Speaker 100 And yet, it hurts to be torn apart. It didn't start with running for office when I got glasses in the fourth grade.

Speaker 100 Way smaller than the Coke brothers.

Speaker 3 It was such a celebrity.

Speaker 114 I don't know why I expected it to be this celebration.

Speaker 49 I mean, it's

Speaker 4 a disaster.

Speaker 11 It's so sad.

Speaker 113 It started when I got glasses.

Speaker 155 Coke class when I was in fourth grade.

Speaker 117 So I've always hated the Koch brothers.

Speaker 13 It reminded me of those glasses I had.

Speaker 100 In junior high, a few unkind schoolmates noticed the lack of ankles on my sturdy legs.

Speaker 3 No, this is not ankle.

Speaker 11 I'm making this up.

Speaker 100 I don't make things up in my book. This is my latest book.

Speaker 98 Wait, read that again.

Speaker 115 Read it again.

Speaker 11 This is really in there, Hillary. Let me see it.

Speaker 118 Let me see it.

Speaker 100 In junior high, a few unkind schoolmates noticed.

Speaker 67 I want a producer in here right now.

Speaker 145 Who is producing this segment?

Speaker 143 I want a verification. Do you mind?

Speaker 100 I'm trying to read excerpts from my book.

Speaker 4 All right. Let's hear it.

Speaker 3 Is it really your message?

Speaker 117 It really is in there.

Speaker 100 I'm kind schoolmates noticed the lack of ankles on my sturdy legs.

Speaker 117 This is really in there.

Speaker 4 Unbelievable.

Speaker 100 They did their best to embarrass me.

Speaker 14 She had cankles in grade school?

Speaker 156 I talked to my mom about that once.

Speaker 145 Is that what we're learning?

Speaker 100 She told me to ignore it, to rise above it, and to be better.

Speaker 100 That advice prepared me well for the barrage of insults later on.

Speaker 79 Oh, wow. That was.

Speaker 79 Well, you were called out by Hillary, and you know my name.

Speaker 118 That's impressive.

Speaker 111 I feel a little bit better now.

Speaker 129 Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 114 Do you have more, Jeffy? I mean,

Speaker 4 Hillary? Hillary?

Speaker 56 If you're not watching this on TV, you are missing 90% of the comedy here.

Speaker 115 Because Hillary, I will say, looks better than normal.

Speaker 17 So by the way, Flowery is amazing with lighting.

Speaker 63 Oh, okay.

Speaker 73 And anyway, go ahead.

Speaker 156 Thank you.

Speaker 100 I had my own famed tearful moment just before the New Hampshire primary in 2008.

Speaker 157 I didn't even cry, not really.

Speaker 100 I was talking about how tough running for office could be, because it can be very tough.

Speaker 99 And my eyes glistened for a moment.

Speaker 73 You know what?

Speaker 11 I have to tell you.

Speaker 158 It sounds like she actually wrote it, though, doesn't it? Yeah, this isn't a ghostwriter. This isn't somebody with actual writing skill.

Speaker 118 She actually wrote this.

Speaker 121 She wrote it. Wait, no way.

Speaker 14 It sounds like it.

Speaker 154 It's bad.

Speaker 14 It's really bad.

Speaker 4 It's really bad.

Speaker 100 It became a big news story in America, and it will no doubt merit a line in my obituary someday.

Speaker 99 Interestingly, many

Speaker 98 would say

Speaker 117 that my soul is

Speaker 100 turned out to be a good thing for me. Dozens, if not hundreds, of pundits have commented about that moment, humanized me.

Speaker 118 Maybe that's true.

Speaker 100 If so, I'm both fine with that and a little beleaguered at the reminder that yet again, I,

Speaker 100 a human,

Speaker 100 required humanizing.
