5/23/17 - A War Against Evil

The Blaze Radio Network

on demand

These are the sounds of Manchester, England.

Twenty-two people were killed, fifty-nine others were wounded.

It happened at 10.30 last night.

Just as the concert was ending,

police say a man detonated an improvised explosive device.

This is the actual sound of it going off.

Oh my gosh.

He's dead.

Investigators say they believe the man acted alone, trying to determine whether he's part of a wider network.

There were reports that the explosive device used nuts and bolts and nails as shrapnel.

Children

were those who were killed.

There was a concert of the American pop star Ariana Grund.

Grande, she

felt horrible last night,

as you can imagine.

The first victim was identified as Georgina Bethany Callender,

18-year-old student who loved pop music.

Her Instagram account showed a young and joyful teenager.

If you look at her account, she loved animals and Disney films.

She died with her mother at her bedside.

Last night, if you were watching at all social media,

you read messages like

this:

We still haven't found Olivia Campbell.

If you see her, please contact

Charlotte Campbell

was one of the parents that were scrambling to get on to Sky News or CNN last night.

She said she had last spoken to her 15-year-old daughter, Olivia, around 8:30.

She was enjoying herself, and we haven't heard anything since.

We phoned all the hospitals, we phoned everywhere we can think, we've posted on every social network, and there's nothing.

She said it's the most horrible feeling to know that that your daughter is there and you can't find her.

You don't know if she's dead or alive.

Mrs.

Campbell continued, her voice breaking, saying,

I just don't know how people can do this to innocent children.

ISIS today

has taken responsibility.

This

is a war against evil.

I know we

don't see

everything

in the same way.

But I know we

won't be

really

free if we don't stay

united.

Cause divided,

we will fall for anything.

It's true.

So I have

decided

I will stand for you,

and I will.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice,

I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one,

I will be quite strong.

I have made my choice,

we will overcome.

Cause we are one.

We are one

We are

one

I don't

I don't think we

realize what we're up against.

Because we're up against people who are not fighting a war the way the West fights a war.

You know, the American revolutionaries, they were...

They were called savages because we hid behind trees.

We wouldn't line up in giant rows to be slaughtered on the open battlefield.

We fought like the Indians fought.

Quite honestly, we fought with common sense.

Two hundred and thirty years ago,

we were considered savages for that.

But that's

not a savage.

We have rules of engagement in war.

ISIS has none.

This is a fight not because they hate our lifestyle,

not because they hate our freedoms,

not because of the things that we have done.

They fight us because they believe their God commands them.

In their twisted

ideology,

they believe

that Allah

gives them the right to slaughter the infidel.

This is something that

our first foreign war was about.

Thomas Jefferson warned us,

if we don't stop them, it will continue to go on.

And even if we do stop them, as long as there's one of them left,

they will come back.

It's why he urged everyone

in the early 1800s to read the Koran, and it was printed in America.

And we didn't read excerpts of it.

We read the whole thing.

And the country united against the Barbary pirates.

Our leathernecks were sent over with leather around their necks so they wouldn't be beheaded by the Muslims.

Make no mistake, this isn't about Muslims.

This is about Islamists.

And there is a difference.

I know Muslims.

I get along with Muslims.

An Islamist

is living in the

third century.

An Islamist

believes that they can take your children and use them as slaves,

use them as sexual objects.

Or now that we have cut off their funding with the oil,

use Christian children for their organs.

There's a lot of news that you don't get.

And there's a lot of news that, frankly, none of us want to hear.

But by poking our head in the sand and thinking

that somehow or another by changing our language,

by being more politically correct,

that this is going to be solved is a mistake,

is foolish, and will get us all killed.

You know, when I was on CNN, we did a special on Beslin.

And I don't know if you remember what Beslin was,

but I fear that that is going to happen again.

There's a school in Beslan

and

it started on the first day of school.

In Russia, they have this tradition that the parents bring your kids to school

for the first day of school.

And so the parents brought their little kids into school, and there waiting for them

were monsters,

armed Islamic groups.

They ushered everybody into the gym.

Anybody who spoke out, anybody who who cried, they killed.

The mothers and the daughters, they would rape in front of everyone.

It lasted three days.

There were eleven hundred hostages,

seven hundred and seventy-seven children.

They killed three hundred and eighty-five.

Why won't they just leave us alone?

Why don't we just apologize for whatever it is we've done?

Stop thinking like a Westerner.

What do you think is happening in Turkey?

Our former president's best friend Erdogan is becoming a dictator.

Why?

Because he believes he's going to be the caliph.

He believes he's going to be the one that brings back the Ottoman Empire.

ISIS believes they're going to be the one, not only to bring back the Caliphate or the Ottoman Empire,

but they are going to be the ones that will hasten the return of the promised one.

If you don't know who the promised one is, read the book of Revelation.

The book of Revelation

talks about

what the end times look like.

It is almost as if

those who believe in the 12th Imam

read the book of Revelation and said, oh, we're going to freak these Christians out.

I'm going to make up the story about the promised one, the return of the twelfth Imam, and I'm just going to make their good guy our bad guy

and our bad guy the good guy.

The way you hasten the return of the promised one is through chaos.

That's what they're going for.

They know

that

children

will horrify us.

The killing of children will horrify us.

This wasn't just a random hit.

This was a hit on children.

They knew they would kill children.

You're going to see more of this.

The things that Mercury One has

seen

as we are now approaching our 7,000 person,

the rescue of our 7,000th person in Syria and Iraq, and moving them out of the region.

We've saved another 7,000 and moved them away from ISIS, mainly into the

Kurdish section of northern Iraq Iraq for safety.

The Kurds is a barrier.

But we're about to move our 7,000th person out of the region.

That's more than most countries have done.

And you did it.

But what you don't know

is that we are also going in

with teams.

We've lost two members of a rescue team already.

We go in with teams and we rescue those who have taken been taken as sex slaves, those who have been

taken to be sold on the open market.

Some of them

Some of them have been raped up to eight times a day for the last two

years

and the world says nothing

we're living in times of chaos we're living in times where the world doesn't make sense

As Paulina,

one of the righteous among the nations, told me when I was standing in Auschwitz with my family,

How do we be the righteous among the nations of this generation?

She said, just to remember one thing.

The righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.

They just refused to go over the cliff with everyone else.

You can't make sense of the world.

You shouldn't try to make sense of the world.

The world doesn't make sense.

It's trying to tell you and teach you that this is the way that it's supposed to be with 92 genders.

That's not the way the world is supposed to be.

Everything in our life is upside down and confusing.

There are eternal rules and eternal principles that if we just return to those things and hold tight and don't go over the cliff in anger don't go over the cliff in rage don't go over the cliff in political correctness

you want to unite on something let's unite on the truth let's start there

and the truth is

this has a hell of a lot to do with Islam

The truth is, this isn't every Muslim, but every single one of them is an Islamist.

Every single person who has strapped or thought about strapping a bomb to themselves or a child or blowing someone up or who silently stands by and says, Well, they kind of deserved it, that is an Islamist.

And while we didn't have a problem with the German people, we sure the hell had a problem with Nazis.

It's time America finds itself again.

Hurry up, America.

Wake the hell up

because we still are the last great hope

for freedom

in the world.

The Glen Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Some more bad news from England.

I mean, not on the same scale, obviously, but Roger Moore passed away

last night.

He was

wow, 89.

Wow.

22 killed at the UK concert.

We're still getting details on who the bomber was.

ISIS has taken responsibility.

And to our listening audience, we hear you, we feel you.

We're in the same place you are today.

This is the Glenn Veck Program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Veck Program.

Days like today

can make you feel helpless, can make you feel overwhelmed that nobody's doing anything, that nothing is happening,

and that

we're sliding into chaos and we're about to lose our way of life and nobody seems to recognize it.

I want you to know that's not true.

That is a lie.

And let me give you proof positive of what people can do, what Americans can do, when they set their mind to it.

Year and a half ago, I asked you,

let's save a hundred people.

Let's go because I had a nun on my show, and she was in a

a cargo container where she had lived all summer long in the Iraqi heat in a cargo container.

No air conditioning.

That's how she lived along with a family.

And she was trying to come here to the United States to be able to testify in front of Congress.

And she was desperate.

Her voice needed to be heard.

We found out about her, and I had her on the show.

And halfway through, she was telling me I'm seeing the Skype image of her in this cargo container and I'm thinking about how hot it is there and I'm realizing that I'm sitting here in a perfectly controlled 65 or 68 degree studio so I never break a sweat because the lights are on

and I'm listening to her fighting for other people.

And I finally stopped the interview halfway through and I said, I'm sorry, sister, but I'm not even listening to you anymore I am so caught up in the fact that I'm doing nothing

and she gave me this BS of no you're covering the story yeah

and is that really doing all I can

I didn't know what to do

and then Johnny Moore came And Johnny came to the studio and he said, I quit my job.

He was working with Mark Burnett.

Now, imagine you're a production guy.

You're a guy who wants to, you know, you want to work and create messages and movies, and you're working with Mark Burnett, a guy who's actually doing it.

And you hear the story of what is happening in Iraq and he walked into Mark Burnett's office and said, Mark, I quit.

I got to leave.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Iraq this weekend.

He had never been to Iraq.

Just as a private citizen, he gets onto a plane knowing no one

and just starts wandering around and going to churches saying, how can I help?

He came into my

studio and said, we got to raise a million dollars.

We can help these people.

I have a goal.

I'd like to raise a million dollars.

I said, that's done.

Let's think bigger than that.

So I came to you in Birmingham

a year ago last August,

and I said, we've already raised the million dollars.

Let's see if we can raise more by Christmas and save maybe 100 families.

A hundred.

A hundred.

We have fed.

You have.

You have.

And I haven't been able to really talk about things

because we are involved in things that put people in danger.

But someday

we are archiving all of the records right now because as David Barton said to me, in 20 years, Glenn, this is the story of this generation.

And he's right.

While it is not as

well, I can't say that.

It's not dangerous for you and it's not dangerous for me.

It is Schindler's list for those who are actually going over on our request and our behest to save these people.

We've already lost two people.

7,000 people have been moved out of the country.

6,000 people.

These people were the ones marked for death.

How many people have died in Iraq in the last year?

Up to 123.

Well, it's not the last year, but it's since I think 2009.

2009 123 123 000 23 000 123 000 terror attacks

14 000 people who were marked for death have been saved because of you

because of you

we're

trying to partner with somebody else because the

the the the Mercury one efforts to save those who are targeted for death have just become so overwhelming and so big

and we are I mean I wish I could tell you

the things

that we see

I would ask that you would

join us

join us on this mission look at what this one audience has done because we said we're not going to listen to the government

we're not going to wait around for the government to do anything

we're not going to wait around for somebody else to do it we're going to do it this audience i've told you since almost probably since 9-11 2001 that I have a deep feeling that this audience is going to be the audience

that is going to be a pivot point.

It's going to change things.

That it's this audience that history will look back at and say, look what came out of those people.

I don't know how that's ever going to happen because nobody's making a record of us except us.

We're keeping very good notes on what you've accomplished and what you've done.

But if you want to join us, if you want to feel

helpless today,

feel helpless.

Not me.

I know who the bad guys are.

I know where the people are that need help.

I know how to help them.

I know we can help them.

I know we can actually get them to safety.

I know the people that we are saving are the people that are marked for death.

This kind of stuff that happened in Manchester

happens all the time

in Iraq and Syria.

All the time.

There's a group.

I can't tell you.

Trying to think of ways that I can tell you in a way that, but I can't, I can't tell you.

I can just tell you this.

There are children that we know where they are.

There are children that are experiencing.

When our team went out two years ago to save

people from the clutches of ISIS, these kids that were being kept as sex slaves, their mothers watching their daughters being raped several times a day, and then mom being raped in front of the daughters,

Our team came back changed.

What they're seeing now,

I'll give you the quote from one of our team members.

Glenn, evil is never satisfied.

Evil's appetite is never quenched.

What we thought was evil

is child's play now.

What's happening on the ground now

is beyond

human understanding.

We can help them,

but we need your help.

We stop taking funding.

But we're moving into a place where we'll be announcing some things,

where we have a new partner to really help us,

because it was so big and so overwhelming.

And someday,

someday, before you die or before I die, we will be able to tell you what you've accomplished.

But I

want you to go to mercury1.org today and just donate.

If you will, just donate.

Help us change the world.

One kid at a time.

Maybe the Lord will smile upon us and save our children if we do everything we can to save somebody else's child.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Yes.

Can we change the subject here?

I mean, Bitcoin is going crazy.

Going crazy.

How much is it up to today?

I mean, the last I saw was $2,259, I think.

So about a month ago, we were talking about it's crazy.

It's going to crash.

Has it even been a month?

It's a bit about a month.

It's been about a month.

We talked about it on the air that day, but Yeah, yeah.

So it was $1,100.

I invested, but I only invested half of the money I was going to invest because I thought it's going to crash.

As soon as it crashes, I'll put the other half in.

I've doubled my money in a month.

It can't stop.

It's never going to stop, guys.

There's never going to stop.

Bitcoin, 88 billion.

How about this?

It's going to crash.

At some point, it's going to crash, but it's.

Is it?

It's.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And it's going to crash bigly.

I mean, it's one of those things that,

you know, is

I can't, I don't,

I don't know when it's going to crash.

I don't know if you can't, because there's no,

there's really no physical thing.

Touch or feel or look at.

I mean, it's just a new currency.

Internet digit.

As the world gets more and more afraid of what is coming, they start dumping their money into Bitcoin.

And do you guys, you guys have, you guys like pizza, right?

Yeah.

Really like it.

And sometimes you really want it, right?

Like a lot.

Such a horrible storyline.

The first purchase ever of Bitcoin was of two Papa John's pizzas.

Okay.

The price on that was

10,000 Bitcoins.

Currently, those two pizzas are worth $22.5 million.

Now,

if that guy, that's unbelievable.

If that guy guy spent all of his bitcoins back then,

you know, that would be sad.

But I bet that person, I mean, if they're smart, probably has a lot of money.

Probably still a lot of money.

Imagine if you jumped on this with that algorithm thing in the beginning and you started mining for Bitcoins and you had, I don't know, you still can mine 500 of them

that you got for free,

that'd be sweet.

Now, if you bought $100 worth of Bitcoin on May 22nd, 2010, you'd be sitting on around $72.9 million today.

You bought how much?

$100.

It's now worth $72.9 million.

Now, this is like, and that's like, you're in like the first week, right?

Like, who's in there?

That's only good enough for me.

I doubt my money

in a month.

I mean, that's incredible.

I mean, again,

it was $218 in 2015.

So two years ago.

Two years ago, it was 218.

Now it's 10 times that.

I will tell you, I mean, dang.

I just put in money that I was like, okay, well, I'm fine with losing this amount.

I'm okay.

Remember, I'm the guy who went to Vegas.

I played one $5 game of blackjack, put $5 down, said, hit me, I was over.

And I looked at the dealer and I said, that wasn't $5 worth of fun.

And that's the last time I gambled.

I have zero tolerance for loss.

So I put a small amount in.

But I mean, this is crazy.

Yeah, when the guy bought the pizzas, one Bitcoin was worth 0.003

cents.

And now it's $2,200 a Bitcoin.

Wow.

Wow.

Amazing.

Amazing.

It shows you how unsettled the world is.

But it's never going to stop.

It's just going to keep going up and up and up and up.

I'm going to buy a Lamborghini today.

Back in a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Blaze Radio Network

on demand.

Last night,

the world witnessed evil and saw evil

firsthand.

It was

not happening chance

that

children were killed last night.

I know we

don't see

everything

in the same way.

But I know we

won't be

really

free if we don't stay

united.

Cause divided,

we will fall for anything.

It's true.

So I have

decided

I will send for you,

and I will.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice,

I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one,

I will be my strong.

I have made my choice,

we will overcome.

Cause we are one.

We are one,

we are

Last night,

the world watched

an end of a concert that we wouldn't even have known about.

59 people were injured.

22 people were killed.

Suicide bomber.

It was a lone attacker, you know.

An isolated incident.

Nothing to worry about.

Nothing to see.

It was

beyond evil.

Somebody who had gone in and

targeted a concert because of the ages of the people there, targeting children.

This isn't new.

This is new to the West, but it's not new to those in the Middle East.

Those who aren't involved in things like this in the Middle East have seen their children or their friends' children

destroyed by an evil ideology that we refuse to name.

This is an Islamist ideology.

There's a difference between a Muslim and an Islamist.

Know the difference.

And then name the evil.

There's a difference between a German and a Nazi.

Know the difference and name the evil.

If you can't name it, you'll never defeat it.

A man who has done eight tours of duty,

Chad Robicho, is with us.

He has started the Mighty Oaks Foundation, and he was coming in just to talk about that today.

And we asked him to come in a little bit early to be able to talk about

his thoughts about what we're seeing happen

in Manchester last night.

Welcome, Chad.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm good.

What were your thoughts when you saw this last night?

I'd say my immediate thoughts, and you kind of captured it,

is just the perception and awareness of, I think, of us as a culture and not being acclimated to this.

And I'm watching this unfold on Facebook and seeing the low response, which is kind of alarming to me because, you know, anytime we start going as a culture numb to all this violence, and I think we have such access to seeing all these events unfold, And as a culture, we become numb to it.

Numbness starts us in a path of being complacent and complacency ends up in results like we saw in Manchester.

And

I think we have to be aware that this is a serious thing.

This is an attack on our culture.

This is a very intentional and deliberate attack.

It's not going to stop.

Do you agree with me that they targeted children for, I mean, there was...

It wasn't by chance.

No, it wasn't by chance.

I mean, if somebody

straps bombs on their body and walks into a particular place,

they don't just look for

a crowd or any target.

They're looking for specifically for someone.

They have an agenda.

I mean, that's a pretty deliberate act to strap bombs on yourself and go in and self-detonate.

Why do you think they were targeting children?

Can you explain it?

One, I think it's anytime you look at terrorism, it's for shock value.

So, you know, where are they going to get the most bang for their buck?

And so places that are in contrast to what, you know,

in contrast to Islamism, people, places that will be in contrast to concert

and kids are a big shock value.

You know, I just wrote in a new book I started writing, I wrote about an incident in Afghanistan where I wasn't doing any kind of combat operations.

I was just going shopping.

So in a place called Chicken Street.

It's a kind of a market area where people go shopping, buy powered DVDs and those types of things.

And

we met these little girls that would always be on this corner

selling maps and different things to the tourists because a lot of NGOs go to this area.

And, you know, it's typical Afghan little girl, dark skin, bright green eyes.

That's kind of how I remembered her,

those pretty eyes.

And her and her sister were there.

We bought

maybe nine, 10 years old.

Bought some maps from her.

We didn't need them.

Paid her extra for them.

And we went inside.

My buddy Bink bought some Pepsis and gave him some Pepsis on the way out.

And we made it maybe a block down and we heard the concussion boom

and looked back saw people running saw some dust you know we we we had no business military operation there so we just got in our vehicle and and left and later we learned that a chechen suicide bomber had went into the area and you couldn't get cars in this area so they couldn't do a vehicle bomb but he went there and to stand next to uh very targeted to stand next to the ANA, the Afghan National Army, the police that were controlling the area there, and tried to kill them, but ended up injuring the Afghan soldiers, but killed one of those girls.

And, you know,

just zero regard for human life.

They don't think the way we think.

It's completely.

It's interesting that you brought up the Chetsons coming down and doing that because

I've been concerned for quite some time that when they get serious,

they will perform some sort of a Beslin in America or in the West, and that will change the game entirely.

You familiar with Beslin and what happened with Russia when they took the school and they killed, what was it, 370 or 368 children over a three-day period?

And that's when Putin just snapped and just went in and slaughtered them all.

I mean,

these guys,

they don't have our values.

They're not even to the level of Nazis.

They are

animals, just animals.

Well, and they're very determined, and they're not going to be derailed by, you know, they're not going to be derailed.

They're going to continue on this mission unless we

take the fight to them and stop it in its tracks.

I mean, this isn't going to go away just because you don't.

just because you don't follow it.

And that's my fear as a culture is that we'll come numb to it.

But how do we

because I found myself last night not wanting to turn on TV.

I didn't want to see it.

How do you,

you know, I'm not numb to it.

I

just,

the world is in so much chaos that I just, I'm overwhelmed by it at times.

Yeah, I believe it's called action, and, you know, and President Trump

has did it this week.

It's a call to action to the Muslim people

to police their own.

I mean, this is not something that's going to be done

strictly externally.

It's going to have to be done internally within the culture of the Muslim people as well.

Tell me about Mighty Oaks.

Tell me about this book, Resiliency, Path to Resiliency.

This is a simple, what is it, 100 pages?

100 pages.

It's marine size.

It fits in their pocket.

It's readable.

It's really good.

I mean, it's really full of really good wisdom.

Really good wisdom.

Well, we do, you know, at Mighty Oaks, we're helping, you know, guys who come home from combat with combat trauma, trying to rebound from some of the hardships of their service.

And we found that, you know, great success in that.

So we started moving, continuing moving left.

We were dealing with veterans, then we started dealing with guys who are transitioning out in the wounded warrior battalions in the Marine Corps, for example.

And then we started going to the commands.

And then we had the opportunity to take the same things we found

healing.

to work for healing and use them on the front end and through resiliency efforts.

And so

we had had the opportunity to go into places like I speak at Marine Corps boot camp every quarter and talk about resiliency and spiritual resiliency.

The United States Air Force has me speaking at the Yellow Ribbon programs, pre-deployment.

And so I wanted to leave behind, so we wrote this path to resiliency.

So you, I mean, you know, a lot of people say that we can't talk about God at all with our military.

That doesn't seem to be true with you.

No, you know, it's, people have told me when we first started Mighty Oaks that it just wasn't going to happen, that we needed to be secular and maybe sneak in the God.

But the truth truth is, like, you know, the military is hurting right now.

And the military, in its own nomenclature, talks about resiliency, being mind, body, spirit.

That spirit word has been kind of hijacked, what it actually means.

And but we've had the opportunity to go in and redefine what spirit means to us and without trying to impose what we believe on people, but just say this is what works for us.

And

we've gained great traction.

We have Sergeant Major Kent, who's 16th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, on our board of directors,

General Boykin.

We have some great military leaders who have come behind us to really help open those doors for us.

And now we have just tremendous traction within the military.

This is such good advice.

I mean, I'm just,

I'm giving a speech tomorrow about

moving forward and charting a new course.

And

chapter five of this is moving forward.

That's right.

So how do we go forward?

Dare

use it as an acronym.

Yes.

I mean,

I think

the biggest thing that we've accomplished at Mighty Or really realized at Mighty Oaks to help people move forward is just the decision to.

And oftentimes in our life, we think it's much more complicated than that, but it really does come down to a choice to look backwards at the hardships of our life and realize those things didn't lead us to where we are, but the choices we made since those things happened.

Past event in Afghanistan, Iraq, our childhood, whatever, it's a choice to move forward.

So you say DARE stands for decide, accept, reject, embrace.

Meaning accept the things that you can use and reject the things that you can't.

That's right.

You have to accept

the things that

the good things in your life, the things that are ahead of you, and

the things that have happened to you too.

Sometimes accepting the things or the bad things and say, hey, how can I take these traumatic experiences of my past and actually turn them into a good thing?

And that's the very nature of the program we have is paying it forward and and you can't really pay forward uh to other veterans unless you had that experience so for me what i do at mighty oaks it isn't because i you know got educated and thought how i could you know come up with a crafty way to help veterans it's because i went to afghanistan i struggled when i came home i fell on my face and i got back up again i learned some some lessons from those and so i accepted the the hardships i went through but i also embrace the ability to actually move forward and choose a different destiny for uh ahead of me and uh I pay that forward and challenge other guys to do the same thing.

Well tell me

Mighty Oaks is what exactly.

It's a place for guys

to go and

find their path forward.

That's right.

We're running 30 programs a year right now and they're six day intensives and they're all ran by

by fellow combat veterans.

So we we take we take these guys into a six day camp on on a remote

on a remote ranch.

We have four of them that nationally so we bring guys from all over the country and day one is really just challenging them to one just like you said uh to accept the position that they're in and make a decision to move forward and

it's very it's very a

uh because it's it's

but without the 12 steps it's like that that one step you have to make that first step to say i'm i'm responsible for my future you you right here who is an authentic person a person of virtue and sincerity a person who does what is right in spite spite of obstacles, a person of honesty, a person who is uplifting and encourages others, a person who holds himself to a high standard in all things, a person of his word, a person who meets the needs of others, that rejects the things that will pull them back.

Yeah.

Pretty.

Did you write this?

Yes.

Yeah.

Myself and Jeremy Stallnacker, who works at Body Oaks with me.

And, you know, we wrote it from our own experiences, but we wrote it from a plethora of experience from all the people that we've been privileged to work with and what's worked for them.

So

this is definitely a book written off the experience.

Are you selling this?

Is this book for sale?

We're selling it, but

we give them away to all the troops.

So we sell it

on our website at mightyoaksprograms.org.

And

I give this to my son.

I'd use this for myself.

I'd give this to our employees.

I mean,

this is just great.

This is just a good little guidebook for your life to put it in the back of your pocket.

You can get this at Path to Resiliency.

And you can get it at mighty, mightyoaks.org.

MightyOaksprograms.org.

Okay.

MightyOaksprograms.org.

Path to Resiliency.

I wish you the best of luck and thank you for everything you're doing.

If it wasn't honestly for the guys returning home that have taken charge of their own life and said, I'm not going to be a victim, I think we would be creating

another Vietnam situation with our troops where we had left so many people behind because the government's not doing it and the general population doesn't know how to do it.

That's right.

And you guys are taking care of it, and it's an honor to be able to support you in any way we can.

We thank you for it.

Thank you.

Mightyoaksprogram.org.

Programs?

MightyOaksprograms.org.

And we'll put it up on our website as well.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Yeah, Chad was.

Chad was...

He was Marine Recon and an MMA fighter.

I mean...

Yeah, so he's like a double badass.

He could have killed all all of us.

Oh, my God.

So quickly.

So quickly.

Yeah.

And I

would need to have gotten out of the chair before he was.

I appreciate it.

I didn't know what cauliflower ear was.

And he has cauliflower ear.

Yeah.

And, you know, you notice it, but you're not going to say something.

I didn't know what caused it.

You know, I thought maybe it was, you know, it could have been a burnt effect.

It's from wrestling.

Yeah, I had no idea.

And Pat's like, sold the cauliflower ear.

I'm like, he'll kill you.

What are you doing?

Well, I wondered if it was just from MMA or was he a wrestler too?

Because

there's a good deal of wrestling in MMA.

But I guess he did a little of both.

And I'm as interested that you actually pointed out, considering Jeffy kind of shares

part of the health condition.

Yeah,

he's got cauliflower body.

He's got a cauliflower body.

From wrestling with your dinner.

So trying to get that foray all the way to your mouth.

It breaks, it swells.

It breaks.

It swells.

That's what happens.

I noticed that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, mine kind of does that too.

It lunch breaks and swells and lunch breaks and swells.

Then snack breaks, dinner breaks, breakfast breaks and swells.

So this is all swelling.

That's the same thing.

Oh, is if I take ibuprofen, you should see the washboard abs I have.

Oh, really?

Just with ibuprofen in the bottom.

Yeah.

Swelling.

Yeah.

Just swelling.

But I don't want to take it because then you guys will feel

inferior.

Oh, fat.

Yeah.

Just feel fat.

You know what?

It's shockingly, I do already.

I don't know how that happened.

I got last night.

I got home and I'm like, I can't take it anymore.

I just can't take it anymore.

It's unbearable.

It really is.

It's unbearable.

I had this,

most of the day, ate pretty well.

And then last night, there was just this big chocolate bun cake

in the refrigerator.

And I was like, why is that there?

It shouldn't be there.

That's stupid.

Someone might eat it.

So I took care of it.

Good for you.

Are you kidding me?

I'm not kidding you.

In my refrigerator last night was chocolate bunt cake.

It really was.

There really was.

Who is that?

And I was like, this is wrong.

Yeah.

That is true.

And I took care of it too.

Because in my freezer was chocolate ice cream.

That's weird.

I took care of that.

Wow.

You know, we are good.

Our wives will thank us

for saving those calories so they didn't go right to their hips.

We talk about food storage.

You can do it in fat cells.

That is one way to do it.

I have, I'm taking you up on that.

I eat because I'm fat, and I'm fat because I eat.

It's sad.

Back in a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

I'm going to take you back to April 4th, 1968.

I listened to this driving in today and thought it was really appropriate.

April 4th, 1968, Robert F.

Kennedy

was about to

speak to a group of people

in Indianapolis.

And on his way there, he found out that Martin Luther King had been shot and killed.

Local police

said,

you can't go.

We can't provide protection for you.

People might riot.

It was in the heart of the African-American ghetto at the time.

He's riding in the car and he decides to scribble down a couple of notes.

Nobody had helped him.

Nobody said, Here's your proposed draft.

He got to the crowd and he stood at the top of

flatbed truck

and they handed him a microphone

and this is what he said off the top of his head not using any notes

i have some very sad news for all of you and i think uh sad news for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world

and that is that martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.

Martin Luther King

dedicated his life

to love and to justice between fellow human beings.

He died

in the cause of that effort.

In this difficult day,

In this difficult time for the United States,

it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are

and what direction we want to move in.

For those of you who are black,

considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible,

you can be filled with bitterness

and with hatred

and a desire for revenge.

We can move in that direction as a country

in greater polarization,

black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites,

filled with hatred toward one another.

Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did,

to understand

and to comprehend and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that is spread across our land

with an effort to understand

compassion

and love.

For those of you who are

black

and are tempted to

be filled with hatred and distrust

of the injustice of such an act

against all white people,

I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling.

I had a member of my family killed,

but he was killed by a white man.

But we have to make an effort in the United States.

We have to make an effort to understand,

to get beyond or go beyond these rather difficult times.

A favorite poem,

my favorite poet, was Aeschylus.

He once wrote,

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget

falls drop by drop upon the heart

until in our own despair against our will

comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

What we need in the United States is not division.

What we need in the United States is not hatred.

What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness,

but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another.

Feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.

We can do well in this country.

We will have difficult times.

We've had difficult times in the past, but we will have difficult times in the future.

It is not the end of violence.

It is not the end of lawlessness.

And it's not the end of disorder.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country

want to live together,

want to improve the quality of our life,

and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land.

and what dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago

to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.

Let us dedicate ourselves to that and say a prayer for our country and for our people.

Thank you very much.

Robert F.

Kennedy, off the top of his head.

Pretty amazing.

Standing in a crowd that police had said they're going to kill you.

And as we know, Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian, ended up killing

two months later, ended up killing RFK.

A man of great compassion and

great wisdom who...

I think,

unlike others,

actually felt this to the marrow of his bones.

It's interesting, too, to listen to that and realize that that first moment can't really ever happen again.

No.

That moment where he announces it and the crowd is shocked is basically impossible.

I mean, at this point,

there's almost no circumstance in which something like that can happen where the audience would be surprised by it.

Because they'd all be seeing it on their phones before he told them.

That's really.

I mean, that's a good idea.

To think that he found out in the car on the way

and was told, you can't go,

what would the tone have been had they known?

What would he have been able to deliver that speech?

That's telling that group of people

that could have turned.

Easily turned.

Easily turned, righteously.

turned

for him to be able to deliver that speech.

He may not have had, in today's world, he may not have had that opportunity because they already would have had their mind made up and their choice

on which course they were going to go.

They had probably already would have made their selection.

And they would be tweeting back and they would be seeing the hate-filled screeds on their phone.

I heard that this morning as I was driving in, and

I thought,

that's the message for today.

That is truly the message for today.

We can choose,

and we can choose to feel empowered, or we can choose to feel afraid.

We can choose to feel hatred, or we can choose to feel love.

And to feel love does not mean that you don't take a stand.

There is

the other side.

If love is your

north,

truth

may be your west.

It just means you need to move northwest.

You have to balance the truth with love.

And sometimes As long as you stay within the rows of the compass, telling someone the honest truth, but telling them knowing and having compassion and trying to solve the problem by saying with all the love and respect that you can muster and mean as is Jesus were saying it.

It is about Islamists.

It is.

It is about Islamists.

That's what's happening.

And I know the world doesn't want to hear it, but it's okay.

And it must be spoken.

And anyone who stands in the way and tries to create more division around the truth will fail in the end.

You may beat me now, but you will fail in the end because the truth will prevail.

It always.

The truth always returns.

And as Rudyard Kipling said, with

terror and slaughter, it returns.

But

it doesn't have to be that way.

It doesn't have to return with terror and slaughter.

It can return with gentleness and kindness and compassion.

You just saw him

return a group of people to the truth.

Imagine what they were feeling.

Imagine the righteous anger.

And he stood there in front of a predominantly black audience.

It was a black audience.

And he told them that it was a white guy who did it.

And it's still because of his tone, because of the things he was saying, because of the deafness of his words,

it was fine.

It worked out.

And he delivered the truth.

He didn't pander.

Nope.

He didn't mince words.

He just spoke with love and compassion.

That's who we need to be.

We need to tell the truth.

This, what happened yesterday in Manchester, will not stop until we all come to the truth that it is about the Islamist.

It is, period.

And we cannot live side by side with it.

It doesn't,

it has no reason.

It has no compassion.

It has no love.

I'm sorry.

I've tried to ban the word evil from my lexicon when talking about different ideologies and different things.

But that is when you are killing children, when you are raping children, when you are enslaving children, when you're enslaving adults, when it's my way or the highway, it is my way or death because God tells me I have a right to kill you.

There is no other word than evil.

And that's just the way it is.

And until we say there is a large group of people that are following Islam,

the way it was

in the dark ages

that have not had any kind of reformation and they want to take us back to the dark ages.

Well, I'm not going.

And this time that the West stands up and says,

you are either going to be a part part of the future, which is bright,

or you're not.

But I am not going back to the caves and to the campfires

and to the terror and slaughter that you want to bring us back to.

I'm not going there.

Glenn Beck Program.

888727 back.

Mercury.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Just kind of gone down the wormhole of RFK this morning and listening to some of the things that he said.

Every time we find some interesting tidbit from the past, we go wrapped in the bottom of the bottom.

We just go downholes.

We just keep going and digging for the last week.

What was the one you were in today?

Oh, because I saw last night, I saw a 30-30 presentation on

the Duke Lacrosse team.

Oh, my gosh.

We need to revisit that because

that is.

Did they do any interviews with the guys?

Some of them.

The three who wound up in jail and being charged

wouldn't be interviews.

Oh, can you imagine?

You just want to put it behind you.

Pretty bad.

They had nothing.

They had nothing.

Did Al Sharpton ever apologize?

no no neither did jesse jackson he just kept saying well something happened in that house well yeah she danced and she left she passed out on their porch i mean they

they they tried to allude that one of them had dna under her fingernails and it was like a false fingernail that they found in the garbage in the bathroom

And

Nyphong, the prosecutor, remember him?

He was just after these guys.

I don't know why.

I guess because he was in an election

and they were rich, rich and

he was doing everything he could to bring them down and cut them down a peg.

Well, it turned out that none of them had any DNA anywhere near her, but 11 other guys did,

none of whom were the Duke La Crosse team.

Unbelievable.

Just amazing.

An amazing story.

And they had their whole season canceled, spent a year in jail.

We are, you know, we were living at that time mob justice.

Yeah.

Just mob justice.

We have got to get away from the mob justice mentality.

Back in a minute.

Glenn Beck

Mercury.

The Blaze Radio Network

on demand

suicide bomb Manchester Arena in Britain last night.

They've just released the name of the homicide bomber, Salman Abedi.

ISIS has claimed him as one of their own.

They selected this site for a reason.

It was not by chance that this was an arena filled with children.

This is the new approach.

We are fighting people who have values that are radically different

than the West.

And we have rejected all of those.

I mean,

we used to be a civilization that said that

we looked to

better ourselves and try to hold up the highest ideals.

We

at one point said that the highest ideal of a man, what a man should be, and how a man should act, should be to try to become as much like Jesus of Nazareth as possible.

Now we've removed him.

And who are we looking to?

I have to tell you, as sad as this is, I thank God every night that we still have Marvel around, that we can still look to Captain America and still look to Iron Man.

Because when we've taken God out of the square, that's why those movies are so big.

Those movies are so big because those are our Ten Commandments now.

That's the Ben-Hur of this generation.

Because God forbid you actually

talk about Ben-Hur.

God forbid you actually do the Ten Commandments.

God forbid you actually tell the story of Noah's Ark without rock people in it.

But people are hungry

to see leaders that will stand up and say we're better than this.

I got news for you.

We are better than this.

We are much better than this.

We just have to admit the truth.

Admit what the highest standard is, and then hold to that iron rod.

We are facing facing evil that

is so shocking that many of us don't want to even think about it.

But until the world recognizes and calls evil by its name, we must stand up and speak the truth.

Roma Downey is going to be joining me.

She has made a film with Paula Queskin.

Roma and Paula have made a film to show America and the West what they're really facing, especially when it comes to Christian and Yazidi children in the Middle East.

They join us right now.

the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Co-producers of the new movie that opens up nationwide today called Faith Keepers, Roma Downey and

Paula Kweskin.

Roma, Paula, welcome to the program.

Good morning, Glenn.

How are you?

I'm grand.

We're grand.

Thank you, though.

It's with heavy hearts every day that we open the newspapers and just hear what's going on around our world.

What happened last night in Manchester,

as you guys can testify, and I'm so glad to have you on today,

because

people need to realize that we are fighting against a people that

do not have anything close to our values, especially when it comes to children.

I believe this arena was intentionally targeted to kill the children to shock us and to horrify us.

Well, from that point of view, it certainly succeeded.

We are shocked and we are horrified and we are heartbroken this morning as we start looking at the pictures coming out of Manchester.

And our hearts and our prayers are with the people of Manchester this day.

So I watched your film yesterday from the Clarion Project called Faith Keepers,

And it is,

I guess I want to say it's stirring.

It's not depressing.

It is shocking, but it stirs you into

action of at least at first recognizing what we're dealing with.

Paula, do you want to talk a little bit about what the movie is?

Sure.

So Faith Keepers is a brand new documentary film, as you mentioned.

And our goal goal is really to tell the story behind the headlines.

As you mentioned, we get so overwhelmed with the horror that's coming out of the Middle East that we forget that there's men, women, and children who are dealing with this reality every single day.

Christians who are being persecuted for their faith, who are experiencing a genocide.

And what we did was we spoke to these individuals.

We heard their stories of bravery and courage.

And we're bringing those stories to Christians and Americans and really trying to inspire them and have them stand up and be their brother's keeper.

Yeah,

it's truly amazing.

And Roma, we've seen this.

You've been involved.

Thank you so much, you and Mark, for being involved with the Nazarene Fund and Mercury One.

But we've seen it firsthand.

And the courage, and you've captured in this film, the courage of these, some of them, you know, teenagers that say you know every day we got a knock on the door

and if you want to explain that part of the movie it's it's pretty powerful to see how it opens up

and and how there was no fear involved

yeah some of these stories that we have in this film are just chilling Glenn of the accounts that these Christian families went through

targeted because of their faith.

And

those that we spoke to were the fortunate ones in that they were lucky enough to get away with their lives when so many others did not.

And what we see, what we were able to show in the film was not just

the fear and the pressure on the lives of these people, but that there was a design at play to eliminate the footprint that they had ever been there.

We see churches being destroyed.

We see holy relics and holy books.

You know, this is the Holy Land.

This is where our Christian religion started.

And to see it just being erased over there is also very chilling.

It's pretty amazing, though, the heroics that we have seen.

We know firsthand, and I don't want to give out too many details, but

there were some

very important Jewish relics in areas of the Middle East that ISIS was coming into.

And the Christians gathered around

and

dug up all of these relics and moved all these relics and buried them with GPS coordinates so you could go back and find them, but they would not leave another person's faith in the dust

to be destroyed and desecrated.

I mean,

the people over there,

I don't know.

I wish more of us were

like them.

I wish I was like them.

The courage that they have is remarkable.

No,

I think it absolutely is remarkable.

And the upsetting thing is that I'm sure that many of them feel forgotten by us over here, you know, for the

enormity of this genocide that's occurring.

We are a people that are half awake to the issues.

And I remember as a little girl, Glenn, at school in Ireland reading,

it was part of our reading curriculum, reading the diary of Aunt Frank.

And I was just a child, and I was so upset by the book, of course, by the story,

by my young understanding of

the scale of what had happened.

And with the innocence of a child, I said, well, what was everybody else doing?

Like, where was the world?

Why was nobody else helping?

And I feel a little bit like that now.

It's like

where are we and what are we doing?

You know there's just so I think what has happened is so much fear has been generated

and certainly justified by events like last night in Manchester that we you know that emotionally we start to close down to these bigger issues, I think.

This film, Facekeepers, is really a way to let people see these these stories, to feel these stories,

to get to know one person at a time.

We've told a number of personal stories in this film to help an American audience really understand what's going on over the years.

So you had to have, and you've done a great job in this balancing.

moved a lot of people out of the Middle East, but we also started something

called Operation Underground Railroad.

And this is all about the slave trade that's happening all over the world.

And we really wrestle with

how do we get people to pay attention.

And the thing that I struggle with is it's really easy for people to say, oh, you know, in the case of slavery, oh, all our founders, they were rich white slave owners and they just didn't care.

Slave slavery right now is

four times the problem than it was over a 400-year period during the Western slave trade.

So it's much more prevalent, but people don't want to see it because it's overwhelming and they just don't want to think about it because it's so horrible.

When you were making this film, how did you balance that in...

in getting people to

see it without shoving it in their face so they just can't look.

Well, I think that the film does a good job of balancing that incredible resilient spirit.

And so what inspired me through making the film was showing that even when there it seems like all hope is lost,

there are miracles that happen.

There's the kindness of strangers, and there's just an incredible will to carry on.

So there's one story in the film where a woman was kidnapped and raped for being a Christian, and she was told that she needed to convert to Islam, which she refused to do.

Then, her husband was beheaded in front of her, and ironically, she escaped with her children to Syria, but she never lost her faith.

And I think that those stories are the ones that moved me.

And I think that those are the stories that will move audiences when they view the film.

Roma Downey and Paula Queskin,

where is is the movie being seen?

Is it open everywhere today?

We have a limited nationwide release at churches, and I'd love to encourage all your listeners to go to faithkeepersmovie.com to continue to sign up for screenings.

This is really a grassroots campaign, and the Clarion Project and Lightworkers have put so much into this to make sure that people feel empowered to bring these stories back to their home community.

So, if my faithkeepers movie, go ahead, FaithkeepersMovie.com.

So if my church isn't one of the churches that has signed up for it,

can I register to have my church?

And does it cost my church anything to run it at the church?

Absolutely.

They can continue to sign up.

We're going to be pushing for screenings throughout the summer.

It's practically no cost.

We're doing some tickets at $8 a pop, but we're really just wanting to open it up to as many churches and as many communities as possible.

So it's not too late to sign up now for a screening for your own church or community center.

I can't recommend this highly enough.

We, you know, the,

you know, the Underground Railroad, slavery stopped.

All of the worst things in the world stopped because the West remembered who they were.

And we are people

that have always followed God.

And the best way to serve God is to serve your fellow man.

We truly are still the last great hope for the world and freedom.

And if we don't remember who we are soon,

the world can fall into profound darkness, but it doesn't have to.

And it will happen in the churches.

So please,

I watched it yesterday.

It is really good.

It is something that everybody needs to see,

something that can wake your community up.

And there are action steps as well.

There are many ways that you can get involved and help save the Christians and the Yazidis and the women and children over there that are facing absolute horrors.

This is the Holocaust of our time.

And hopefully we stop it before it gets any worse and travels.

But

we need to stop it now.

Go to faithkeepersmovie.com.

Faithkeepersmovie.com.

And Roma and Paula, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Glenn, thank you so much for having us on.

We really appreciate you.

You bet.

God bless.

Thank you.

God bless you.

They are Roma and Mark Burnett are really,

he's

an amazing couple, aren't they?

With everything that they're doing right now.

They are.

They're almost to Ryan Seacrest level of jobs at one particular time.

Like they're producing 96% of all television and movies.

Yeah.

But I mean, it's really good stuff.

Stuff done with the heart

and real mission.

Yeah, and done with mission.

I mean, you know,

he's gotten to a place and she's gotten to a place to where they're like,

I want to do the things that make a difference.

The theaters aren't even enough for them.

They want to take over the churches.

I have a feeling that the theaters

weren't running for this movie

as

it has

a real message to it.

But I will tell you,

when you see these Christians over there,

you'll be ashamed.

You'll be just ashamed of yourself

because, not because of anything that they're going through or that I haven't helped out or anything.

Just, my gosh,

it opens up with this boy saying,

we would get a knock on the door and we would open it up.

And

there was a note that said,

we will take your sisters and your mother and we will take them as slaves and rape them unless you convert.

And the family got together and we're like, we're not converting.

A week later, there was a box at the door.

And the knock on the door, they opened it up.

And in the box was a letter that said, keep this box because we're going to store your family's heads in this box if you don't convert.

They finally got out.

But I mean,

So, more bad news coming out of England today.

Roger Moore has passed away.

He was 89 years old.

Doesn't that seem bizarre?

He could be 89.

Hard to believe because he played Bond until the late 80s, right?

Yeah.

I mean, I know of you to a Kill, which is because I'm a Duran Duran fan back in the day.

It was one of my favorites.

That was mid-80s.

1984 was a View to a Kill.

Yeah.

Died of 89.

Died at 89 yesterday.

Yeah, he was my favorite Bond growing up, and I think it was because I grew up with him.

Yeah.

Oh, me too.

Wow.

Watch it now.

Not good.

I still love A Vital Kill, but yes, I think that

it was much more kitschy than it was.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was, yeah.

It was.

And I think I'm the only one that liked.

Who was the other guy that played Bond only more?

Timothy Dalton.

I liked Timothy Dalton because he was more real,

at least at the time, compared to Roger Moore.

Everybody hated him, but I kind of liked him.

But the Bond now, what's his name?

Daniel Craig, Daniel Craig, is the greatest Bond bar none.

Sorry, Sean Connery.

Daniel Craig.

What?

Oh, man.

Fist of Fury coming up next.

I'm the flying Pat's way.

This is the Glenbeck program.

There's an amazing story coming out of California today

where they have

run the numbers and they have the price tag for California Universal Healthcare.

It's not bad.

Single-payer health care.

It's only

$400 billion.

It's $400 billion.

So just about...

$400 billion.

$400 billion, just about half a trillion dollars.

Now, they're saying that this will require a small increase of taxes in California.

They'll only have to double.

But that's it.

They only have to double the taxes in California.

Don't worry about that.

Which who in California doesn't already think

I'm not paying my fair share?

Almost everybody thinks that.

Everybody.

44 million people in California and 43,987,000.

Yeah, it's those three rich bastards that are like,

I think I'm paying too much right now.

If they double the taxes in California, how many of the 44 million are left?

I mean,

I wouldn't move it a second.

I don't care

what I like about California.

They're doubling the taxes of already the highest tax state.

Oh, my God.

You would destroy business.

Everything would be gone.

You would shutter the state.

So here, listen to what they're planning.

Now, this is their stated intention to do to the insurance companies.

The idea is to overhaul the California insurance marketplace, reduce overall healthcare costs, and expand coverage to everyone, including illegal aliens.

And the way in which they're going to do this is to just, they'll take away the, first of all, the double taxes on people, but they're also going to eliminate healthcare company profits.

Good.

So they'll be able to just work for free for everybody and make wages.

They just continue to ensure

that

a communist state does.

Communists

remove all the profit and take the companies over by the state.

They take the companies over and they say this belongs to the people.

And so now the state is going to run it.

And there's not going to be profits because we're all sharing in it.

So who's going to offer coverage?

If you're not making any money, what do you say?

The state will.

The state.

The state will.

The state does.

The state will.

And think about it.

That'll be terrible.

I mean, look at that.

Think how much money you'll save.

Seriously, think how much money you'll save.

Now you have to double your taxes.

But after that, you're not paying for insurance.

You're just doubling your taxes.

But the insurance is free.

You want to go to a doctor and you don't because it's so expensive.

Now you can just go.

Well, and we should point out, your insurance might be free.

Your health care, on the other hand, there's no necessarily any reason to believe that's going to be free because you probably can't get into the doctor.

So you're going to have to wind up paying for separate health care anyway or going to another state where your insurance is no longer expensive.

I encourage California to do this.

And if they can make it work and it really does all the great things, that's great.

However, if it doesn't, don't come crying to us.

Well, the problem is they're going to.

Yeah.

I know we bailing them out.

It sucks to be them, doesn't it?

I think we need to pass a law.

sucks to be you law,

which you can do whatever you want in your state, but if it doesn't work, sucks to be you.

Oh, this is typical, you know, what you would say, a typical hate-mongering conservative would say, What you're doing here.

No, what I would say is, don't do this idea.

It never works.

It cannot work.

It makes no financial sense at all.

Everyone will move out of your state if you double the taxes, just that alone.

Plus, the government is not going to be efficient at health care.

Are you listening to this, Pat?

Are you listening to what he's saying over here?

It's unbelievable.

I mean, what's the alternative?

The draconian Trump budget?

Have you seen this that they've released?

This is incredible.

I mean, so right now, Medicaid, we're spending $400 billion a year on it.

And we're supposed to be, if we were sane, spending $700 billion a a year and trump wants to cut that he wants to cut medicaid these are poor people with their health care he wants to dramatically cut

by six hundred and twenty seven billion dollars the medicaid budget and you know you might say wait a minute you said they're only spending 400 billion dollars a year yeah

but he wants to cut it by six hundred and twenty seven billion dollars A year?

Well, no, over 10 years, but still.

Now, when I say cutting, you might say, okay, so it's $400 billion now.

That says $60 billion a year.

So that would be cutting it to $340 billion a year, right?

You might think that.

You're dumb for thinking that.

Why?

Because Trump only wants to increase the budget from $400 billion to $500 and about $30 billion.

So all he wants to do is increase it by

$130 billion?

That's it per year?

And that's being presented as a cut.

Oh, no.

I've seen all the stories

and how they are all draconian, how this is going to kill everybody, how this is the biggest cut of all times.

Thousands and thousands will die.

Thousands will die.

Just like before.

They were piled up in the streets before Obamacare.

Remember that?

Oh, do you remember

the hospital?

Can I tell you something?

I have not gotten the smell of burning bodies out of the hankies we used to have to wrap around around our face as we would drag the bodies out that had been kicked out from the hospital

and then just throw them on a pile and burn them in the public square.

Oh, my God.

You always knew you were getting close to a hospital.

Yeah, you'd smell the rotting bodies and the burning bodies.

And then you'd see the piles off in the distance.

Yeah.

And so you'd be like, wow.

Wow.

Wow.

You know, I'm more dead.

But the good news is, when you had insurance, you could walk right into a hospital and get care that fast.

You didn't have to wait around for people who didn't have insurance.

You know, you didn't have to wait around because people were using the hospital as a GP.

You know, you didn't have to wait around because the hospitals never served.

Not more than eight or nine hours.

Right, but that's because it was great health care.

And it's because we didn't consider health care a fundamental human right.

And that's what California is going to do.

All right, it's a fundamental human right just like clean water.

You're going to keep hearing this thing about all these people.

So hang on just a second.

How do do you define clean water?

Water that isn't dirty.

Yeah.

All right.

Back up to you, Aldi.

All right.

Okay.

Well, I mean, you really never, I mean, God never gave you that right because there would be like a dead moose up around the bend that was rotting in the water.

And so a lot of people would get sick and die.

That's called a smoothie.

Is it what you're drinking at that point?

That's a smoothie.

I don't, no, I don't think it's a moosey.

A smoothie.

smoothie was a moosey.

Yeah.

So

I don't think that's what that was called.

But so

God didn't even give us the right to clean water.

No.

No.

Now, if I'm paying for that water, let's say I'm up someplace north, someplace, Michigan,

let's throw a dart on the board, Flint.

And I'm paying for that water, then I think I do have a right to expect that water to be clean.

You have a right to get it clean.

I don't know if you have a right to expect it clean when the government's involved,

but you have the right to get it.

You should be getting it.

How is it that people think that government is the solution when so many of our, you know, they can't do anything right.

When so many of our problems are caused by the government?

I mean, you could even say,

Look, you know,

what's the government do right?

Military?

Yeah, the military they do right, but the wars they're not doing right.

The part when the Washington is actually involved in it, when the military is cut loose, and you do, military, you do what you're doing, but every time the politicians get involved in Washington and the red tape and everything else, they screw it up.

And not to mention it's not an efficient organization.

I mean, like the military is not an efficiently run organization.

That's not what I require from them.

Now, of course.

Oh my gosh, listen to him.

He's just calling for nuclear weapons.

Whoa.

Whoa, he is calling for how the hell did you get there from what I'm talking about?

Efficiency on killing people, no, efficiency on spending.

We're talking about spending, yeah, on spending what on a killer mission.

Killing money on all sorts of different things, killing missions.

What does the military do?

Warmonger.

Kill people.

It murders everyone.

Holy wow.

I mean, you guys are the ones that said it was a good organization like 30 seconds ago, and now you're completely flipped and you're calling them.

I wasn't even part of that discussion.

All I am part of is that you're

you're a warmonger

a monger who

mongers and warmers you're mongering

you are a mongrel

okay that's what you are

that's what that is isn't it pat something like that something like that okay

all right monger mongrel mongrel can i may i get back to this

budget stat so uh the the medicaid thing they're talking about this is a huge cut as i'm saying this is a huge increase in the budget of medicaid

an increase it's not as big as they wanted sorry however it's still rising at a faster rate of the past 10 years

it's fight rising at a faster rate from 2008 to 2000 i guess 17.

so i mean how on earth can you propose that as a cut

well they just did yeah they just say it they just say it's a cut and you're supposed to believe it and i know because because the media will all parrot

they'll all go along they're saying it's horrific that you're trying to you're you're trying to keep this poor people uh this is why unhealthy this is why when you know they talk about talk radio and we we come straight at you and say we're not a news show this is not a news show this you're not getting your news from here do you hear any listen for the teletypes no no teletypes you know

what

there's no there's no that we're not pretending to be news here we are commenting on the news this is opinion on the news.

So, if you want to actually report the news, you report, here's what it was, here's what we're paying, here's the budget, here's the proposed budget, it's a cut in the proposed budget increase, which isn't by a large increase,

but a slower increase, but still the fastest increase since 2000.

They don't get anywhere near that.

They don't get anywhere near that.

No.

Well, that's why no one trusts you.

Yeah.

Because you know what, honestly, I didn't read the stories on the budget because I read all the headlines.

I saw how it was all in lockstep.

And I knew that's not true.

Yeah.

I mean, listen, the three main causes here.

You got Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security over the next 10 years.

This is a draconian budget, remember.

With no changes, they were supposed to spend $5.3 trillion on Medicaid.

Trump wants to spend $4.7 trillion.

Now, that's, we've only spent probably, I mean,

maybe $3 trillion in the last 10 years.

So he wants to go from $3 trillion to $4.7 trillion.

They won in $5.3.

They're saying, hey, that's a big cut of $600 billion.

Okay, that's that's Medicaid part one.

AI is going to kill us all.

It's going to kill us all because it really will.

AI will see and diagnose all of us and go

too dumb.

The problem is people.

Yeah, the problem is too dumb.

It's not people.

Delete.

Part two of the budget.

Medicare.

Okay.

Proposed spending, $8.7 trillion.

The draconian Trump budget, $8.6 trillion.

Oh, my God.

By the way,

way, way more than we spent over the past 10 years.

And finally, Social Security.

Proposed budget, $13.4 trillion.

Trump's draconian budget, $13.4 trillion.

Oh, my gosh.

By the way,

way, way more than we spent on Trump.

I saw a headline that said that he's cutting Social Security against all advisors

and promises.

Which he's not even suggesting to do.

They're suggesting it's the same.

And here's the thing: Did anybody else get out of this how many trillions are being spent, no matter whose budget it is?

Yeah.

And we can't afford any of that?

Anybody add those three numbers up?

John Delby's son.

And go, yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm not going to be silly.

$27 trillion.

$27 trillion.

Don't worry about it.

We got it.

I just left it in my other suit.

We have it.

You know what we should do?

Double taxes.

Well, if we don't have double money, just we'll make more.

Right.

Exactly right.

There was a big controversy that was happening around here yesterday.

I haven't seen from anybody, and I expected all the excuses to come pouring out.

But nobody's covering it.

They're just ignoring it.

Nobody on the right's covering it.

When Melania Trump slapped Donald's hand away when he was trying to hold her hand in Israel as they were,

was it on a tarmac?

Is that where they were?

Yeah.

I saw the video, and

I'm not sure that's what that is.

Come on, it's in slow motion.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, she absolutely slapped it.

I haven't seen this slow.

I want to see the slow motion.

I want to see the trajectory.

I want to see the slow motion.

There's got to be a bad thing.

I want to see this magic bullet of yours, Pat.

Oh,

it's obvious.

It's obvious.

And I don't know what's going on there.

I don't pretend to know their relationship.

She's pissed at him for something or just doesn't like him.

No, I don't.

Well, that could be good.

It can't be that, right?

It can't be that.

That's a forever love.

Okay, all right.

You're going to see the Pope today.

Well, that should be nice.
