This is an Etsy holiday ad, but you won't hear any sleigh bells or classic carols. Instead, you'll hear something original.
The sound of an Etsy holiday, which sounds like this.

Now that's special. Want to hear it again? Get original and affordable gifts from small shops on Etsy.
For gifts that say, I get you, shop Etsy. Tap the banner to shop now.

Well, it's welcome back from the holiday. We get right into the major Afghan refugee problem that's happening in the U.S.

And we're really the Islamist problem in the U.S. How do we solve it? Here's a tip, the Constitution.
We'll go through all of that.

Also, a stark stat of how much the purchasing power of our dollar has decreased over the years.

And John Rich joins us with a brand new song that I think you really want to hear, especially if you're a parent. All that more on today's podcast.

Let me tell you about Good Ranchers. Meals are not just meals.
They're gatherings. They're memories.
They're family members that you haven't seen in months.

Kids home from college, grandparents telling stories you've heard a thousand times. And at the center of it all is the food you put on the table.
Good Ranchers understands that.

They know that when you serve a holiday roast or steaks or a big family-style chicken dinner, you want to trust what you're feeding the people you love.

That's why they only sell American raised beef, chicken, pork, all from family farms right here at home.

There's no imported mystery meat, just clean, honest, incredibly high-quality protein that elevates everything that you cook.

Everything shows up at your door, perfectly portioned, flash-frozen for maximum freshness, and ready for whatever it is you're planning. Shop America's best meat.

Now let's get to work.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenbeck Program. Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
Glad you're here.

I just want to address something I saw happening on social media with all of the problems with the Afghani people that were brought in by the United States.

And I saw... You know, Glenn Beck, is she going to pay for all the planes to bring all the people to Guantanamo Bay? Let me tell you something.

I'd personally be happy to write the check for a flight to Guantanamo Bay if anyone we brought into the country would do anything. I'd happily do it personally.

However, all of the planes that we brought out of people, they went to the UAE, not to the U.S.

And the ones that we did bring out were Christians, had U.S. passports, were U.S.
residents, or people who served our country who were SIV or P1, P2.

State Department vetted and allowed every entry from

the UAE to the U.S. We brought them to the UAE.
We were bringing them to other countries, mainly Australia was one of the big ones that accepted. Our vetting was outrageously good.

The vetting, and we said this at the time, the United States is bringing people in. They have no idea who they are.
They also, as I've said recently, and there's a video circulating around it,

the State Department was so unbelievably dishonorable that they took people that we had vetted, Christians, that we had taken and put on the plane.

They had taken them off and said, no, you got to put these people on.

We don't don't know who those people were. The first group, we did know who they were.
They were soldiers that the U.S. abandoned,

abandoned, and couldn't get out themselves. So we put them on our plane.
Then we had to compromise with them.

If you want any of these planes to take off, you're going to have to put some of our people on as well. Fine.
We're not responsible for them. We don't know who they are.
We've got it all vetted.

And that's when I was on the air saying, their vetting is horrible. You don't have any idea who these people are.

But we know who our people were.

And if there is a problem, I'll make this promise. I will personally be happy to write the check to send that individual to Guantanamo.
I'd be happy to flip the switch on the execution chair.

Sorry, that's that's but that's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen.

Okay, the other thing is

shopping. Did you see that this

Black Friday,

first quarter of a trillion-dollar season, Black Friday, first time ever, quarter of a trillion dollars, new highs?

Wow.

Okay, okay.

Black Friday made up 10% total sales for the month of November, $111 billion.

It represents 9.1% increase on online sales compared to last year.

They track over a trillion dollars in U.S. retail site visits.
Adobe does.

If this continues, it looks like Christmas is going to be the first quarter of a trillion dollar season that would be a record in the United States.

We're still spending.

Of course, you know, it looks like we're buying more, but are we really?

I got to send this. I got to send this out.

Would you tweet this for me, Ricky? The purchasing power of the dollar. In 1913,

in 1913, you could buy 30 Hershey chocolate bars with $1.

1929, you could buy 10 rolls of toilet paper. 1933, 10 bottles of

beer. 1944, 20 bottles of Coca-Cola.
1953, 10 10 bags of pretzels. 1964, one movie ticket to a drive-in theater.
1971, you could buy 17 oranges.

1987, with a dollar, you could buy two box of Crayola crayons.

1997, you could buy four grapefruits. 2008, with the same dollar, you could buy two lemons.
By 2020, you could buy one McDonald's coffee. And in 2025, you can buy one pack of great value gummy worms.

I don't know. I think our dollar has gone down a little bit in worth.

This is why gold is so important. A $20 gold piece in

1913, you can go to the bank and you get $20 for it. Or you can go with $20, you can go to the bank and you get a $20 gold piece.

And then you can walk into a good men's clothing store and say, sir, I want your finest suit. And for $20, you could buy the finest suit in the store.

Today, you could walk in with that same gold piece. They wouldn't take it.
You'd have to cash it in, but you'd cash it in, and it'd be $4,200.

And you could go into that same men's store and you could say, I want your finest suit. And for $4,200, you'd probably get their finest suit.

Gold hasn't changed price.

Dollars have dropped in value. What cost you $20, one gold piece, one ounce of gold, what cost you $20 in 1913, now costs you $4,200.

That's why gold is so important when it comes to inflation, because the dollar is just going to keep... We can buy gummy worms today.
Stu, I don't know how many gummy worms you,

you know, think about how many gummy worms have to be sold for a quarter of a trillion dollars for the quarter. Well, I would say a lot of gummy worms.

You say gummy worms, but you keep leaving out that detail that they are great value.

Gummy worms. So that's the

not just any gummy worm. Right.
Would you rather have

one pack of great value gummy worms or 33 Hershey bars? That's a real, you're on the borderline there. I'm not sure which one you'd rather have.
Isn't that incredible?

30 Hershey bars, 10 rolls of toilet paper

for a dollar,

for a dollar, 10 bottles of beer. You couldn't go in, you know, you go in with your friends and say,

beer for everybody. I've got two bucks.

Think of that. That's crazy.

And now that we need to get more drunk, we can't even afford the alcohol. It's really sad.
What a terrible,

terrible turn of events. It is amazing, though.

And I think, too, we've lost track of that because, you know, when inflation rates come down, that is, you know, positive compared to what we were facing a few years ago, but it is still building on top of those price increases that were locked in.

It's not that prices are going down. It's just that the rate of increase on those prices is going down.

Why do we accept 2% inflation every year? I've heard that my whole life. They're like, oh, the Fed projects 2% inflation.
That's their target.

Why?

Why would we target our money being worth 2% less every year?

It doesn't seem like a good deal. Yeah, I mean, you've always talked about that.
What is it?

inertia of money and like trying to get the dollars flowing, which seems to be

their motivation on that? You know,

if it was, if they actually were able to hit those numbers, it would probably not be all that damaging.

You'd sure have a little bit of money wasting away every year, which is not good, but it wouldn't be that much.

Close under Biden, it was 9%. Yeah, that was good.

That was good.

And then we were like 9, you know, six,

four,

three, we've succeeded. Like, well, no, wait, the nine percent increase that stayed.

And then we built another three percent on top of that, and a six percent on top of that, and a four percent, and just keeps going up and up and up and up.

That was the did you see by any chance, hopefully you didn't over Thanksgiving weekend, but there was a chart tweeted by Amy Klobuchar. Did you see this by any chance? No, I didn't.

I missed the Amy Klobuchar chart. It was a Thanksgiving miracle, Glenn.

I should have prayed for Thanksgiving on that, but go ahead. It was such a miracle.
Thank you, Lord.

It was so moronic that it actually kind of was a holiday gift to all of us because she tweeted this chart of energy prices skyrocketing. And

she's like, these prices are skyrocketing under President Trump. I can't believe this.
And it is, I mean, it is pretty much a straight-up line. The issue was it went back to like 2020

and shows that all of the increases happened under Joe Biden. And they've just kind of continued to increase.
And it wasn't even a pricing chart. It was

how many people are behind on their energy bill, which is still skyrocketing.

But almost all of this happened during the president that she passionately supported up until he seemingly keeled over in the middle of a debate.

So, you know, not necessarily the way to go, I guess, if you're Amy Klobuchar. But we just kind of accept all this at this point.
We just accept the prices going up. We do.

Just part of our colleges.

Hey, you know whose prices are coming down? Glenbeck.com.

Yeah, Glenbeck.com. Yeah.

brand, if you will. I have it on my letterhead and everything else, but it's the skull and crossbones with a crown that flights above, uh, that floats above it.

And it's an old kind of colonial thing that they said, no king but Christ. We don't have a king.
We answer to Christ.

And so we have a whole bunch of new design t-shirts that are out and mugs and

hats and everything else, even wrapping paper. But also in the art section, if you go up and you're looking around, you'll see merchandise and then art.

Especially, I'm just looking through the artwork. I haven't looked at this artwork in a long time.

There's some really cool, because it all tells stories of, you know, like there's this really, one I really love of the Hindenburg, and you see it, and it's kind of cloudy and kind of out of the mist, and you see just this little flame at the beginning of it.

And it's called 29 Seconds. And all of the, all of the paintings have a story behind them.

ben hogan uh and um jack nicholas that i did and

it's when they were they were playing as a team you know they were fierce competitors but when they were playing as a team they just became one and it was just this amazing thing to watch uh and it's this as i was painting it i was going to do it all in color and then i'm looking at them and i'm seeing that their eyes there's this great photo of them and they're they're looking at the ball and they're laying out the shot and hogan is behind nicholas and he's looking at the shot and um

and you can see they're just focused on the same thing and so i painted one over just them and their focus and that's all in color because i kind of thought if you're really really focused you know how what you're focused on, what you're doing, what you're really good at, it's just vivid color and you can see it clearly and everything else kind of fades off into the black.

Let me tell you about Jace Medical. We live in an age where everything seems instant.

You know, meds filled the same day, clinics on every corner, delivery in about an hour, and we start to believe the system is bulletproof, but it's not.

It'll work exactly the way we need it to work when we need it to work as long as it can.

All it takes is one shortage, one storm, one travel delay, one overloaded pharmacy, and suddenly the whole modern convenience machine grinds to a halt.

We've seen this in our own lifetime in in the last five years.

You and your family, they need medication. When they need it, at that exact moment, there is no alternative plan, okay? But JACE Medical is that alternate plan.
They have created the JACE case.

It's a set of emergency antibiotics and essential medications subscribed or prescribed by a licensed medical professional and shipped directly to you.

So you're not at the mercy of the system that, you know, that only works, you know, in case nothing goes wrong. It's practical.
You do a simple online consultation.

doctors review it, and your medications arrive ready for you to store for years if you need. They sit in your home quietly until the day modern life stops being modern.

And when you order your Jace case today, you'll use the promo code Beck B-E-C-K. Go to jace, j-a-s-e.com, get a discount, jace.com.
That promo code is Beck. Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So we clearly have a problem with some of the people that have been airlifted into the United States.

And I want to clarify a couple of things because we airlifted people. You did.
With your support, we did it at Mercury One.

And I want to make sure you understand what happened there and where our people that we airlifted, where they are. But first, let me say this.

What we're experiencing now here is a story that almost no one in Washington wants to say out loud. And it begins with a people, but

it begins with a people that are responsible for failure. And

that's our leadership here in America. A failure of honesty, a failure of courage the whole time.

When Cabal

fell back in 2021,

we rushed in to do what Americans always do, and that's help people out. We run to save.
We ran to keep our word.

And God bless every soldier and airman and Marine and volunteer who risk everything to rescue the men and women who stood with us for 20 long years but here's the part that nobody prints we didn't just evacuate our allies

we did

but the united states government evacuated anyone they could grab in the chaos because chaos is the oldest enemy of truth we opened up floodgates tens of thousands of people we didn't know nobody really vetted nobody could verify Nobody could fully account for.

Even today, we don't know where they are. And that's not xenophobia.
That's not fear mongering. That's the Department of Homeland Security's own inspector general saying that.

Quote, we don't know who many of these people are, end quote. This is something that while we were doing it, we said, Our vetting is much better than the United States of America.

They're bringing in people we don't know who they are.

Now, think of the weight of the sentence. Came from the inspector general.
We don't know who many of these individuals are.

Think about the histories of nations who forgot the simple duty of understanding who they bring inside the gates. When that happens, the country is over.
Rome did it. The Byzantine Empire did it.

Europe did it before the migrant crisis. And now in 2021, we did it as well.
And we knew this. We've been talking about it on this program forever.

Now, inside of our temporary bases, Fort McCoy, Fort Bliss, Quantico, even our own FBI and military police documented things that the media just dusted off. Ah, don't worry about it.

We showed you at the time sexual assaults that were happening in these temporary bases. Sexual assaults, domestic abuse, attempted strangulation.
U.S. service women harassed and followed into showers.

Did we do anything about it? These weren't rumors.

These were not internet stories.

They were actual federal charges. Did anybody say anything about them?

Meanwhile, police departments, Virginia, California, Texas, places with the largest Afghani arrivals began reporting the same exact pattern.

Domestic violence, forced marriage concerns, child protection cases, cultural classes. And our law enforcement had to deal with them.
And did anybody in the media say anything about it? Nope.

Why? You were a bigoted if you said anything about it.

Here's what happened.

Our government took a lot of people from a tribal system,

patriarchal, war-torn,

no skills.

Imagine going from Afghanistan to Chicago.

How do you survive in that? How do you survive in that? Now, that's not the fault of the families.

That's the fault of our federal government, a government that just threw them and us into a social experiment overnight without even thinking about it, talking about it, just saying, accept it.

Some of the people that are paroled into the United States had ties to the Taliban, ISIS-K,

or another,

or several other.

terrorist organizations. That's not speculation.
That has been confirmed by our own DOD, DHS, and congressional testimony. We've known this for a very long

time.

You know, when the Pentagon warns you that, you know, that person probably shouldn't be in the United States, I don't know, maybe we should listen to them.

And maybe we should be concerned about a DHS or a State Department that waves them in anyway. That's not compassion.
That's dereliction of duty. Period.

Period.

Now,

add to this the humanitarian parole system meant for rare, urgent cases.

It was a revolving door.

Where are all these refugees from? I'm not talking about the Afghanis.

I'm talking about all the other people that have gone to Europe, that have gone to the United States, that are swamping countries in the West. Where are they coming from?

Really? There's that big. This is a bigger refugee problem than we had in World War II.

How's that possible?

We can't confirm anybody has identity. Doesn't seem that we care.
Asylum, family reunification requests exploded. Some valid.

Some of them unprovable. Some of them just out and out lies that we knew were lies.

So what happened? Our cities become strained. Our cities go into disorder.
They start stealing from us. Look at Minneapolis.

Here's the biggest strain. The biggest strain on us is the truth, is honesty.

It takes courage to say what actually happened,

but

you know, we're not living in a time of courage. We're living in a time when people saying the truth, you know, you get, you acknowledge reality and you get labeled.
You notice patterns.

Oh my gosh, you're silenced. You ask responsible questions.
You're accused of bigotry.

Truth doesn't care about the labels. It just sits there.
It just waits for somebody to show up and go, ah, you know, that's the truth. I'm going to have to say it.

So let's say it. Here's the truth.
America owes a sacred debt to anybody we promised. Anybody who is fighting with them, we should protect them.

we should honor them we should welcome them but that's not what happened that's not what happened we didn't perform a moral rescue as a government we performed a political evacuation and i was there so i know it you know somebody posted a kind of a snarky um

tweet at me because I spoke at our gala here a couple of weeks ago and I talked about what the State Department was doing.

And I said, you know, it's time America really understands how evil the State Department was during that evacuation.

Our people were vetted and we didn't bring people into the United States. We brought people to the UAE.

A lot of our people went to

Australia. A lot of people, and I said, sat on the tarmac forever, forever.

Because the State Department was shutting down and saying, we can't verify any of these people. We could verify who these people were.
We knew who these people were.

Most of the people that we brought out, we could show you their baptismal certificate because that was part of our vetting. Are you a Christian?

Really? When were you baptized? Who baptized you? What church did you belong to? Because we knew you were under the gun. Now, if you were like, yeah, I was just baptized three weeks ago.

You didn't get onto one of our planes unless

the State Department insisted that you get onto one of our planes. Because that's what I was saying in that video that this person just reposted.

I was saying in the video, do you know the compromises that they forced us to take? You want to save these Christians? You have to save these people. You got to put these people on first.

We don't know who those people are.

I don't know who those people are. And those were the ones that came to America.

We gambled with the future of these Afghani families because we just threw them in. Just throw them in.
They're going to be fine.

We threw them into a system not based on reality of any sort.

We threw them in without vetting them.

Meanwhile, we would not take the Christians. Hmm.

I want you to know, we should not be attacking anybody, except honestly, condemning our government, because it refuses to tell the truth on what it did and what it failed to do.

The mark of a nation that is in decline

isn't who it lets in.

A mark of a nation in decline is whether it can confess, it can admit to its own mistakes, talk about the truth and the consequences. And today, Congress is whispering.
The media is hiding. I mean,

did you read any of the stories? Hopefully you didn't. Hopefully you just had a great time on vacation and for the holiday.
But I did. My team did.
Did you read the stuff from the New York Times?

They still can't admit the truth. They don't even know what the truth is.

Still, I'm still here waiting for the courage of any adult to stand up.

A great nation can welcome the stranger, but a dying nation loses the wisdom to ask, who is this stranger? And that, that, that, that gate we passed long ago.

The question is, do you want to be a dying nation or not? I don't. I don't.
We can't afford to be a dying nation. The world can't afford us to die.

So, what do we do about it?

Well, the first step is defending your home.

And the first step in defending your home is knowing who's inside your home. You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
Need a little more?

Check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts.

Pull out Cut 8 for me. Here's just a little bit of John Rich and his new song.
Listen to this.

you're kind.

If you had any sense, you run.

You ain't got a clue what a daddy will do. You better give your soul to Jesus while I get my God.

You better give your soul to Jesus while I get my God.

It's called The Righteous Hunter,

and John Rich is with us now. Hey, John, how are you, man?

Gwen, I'm great, brother. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of talking to you.
So thanks for having me on.

You bet.

First of all, what a great song.

Powerful, powerful video. Really powerful.

Why did you do this?

So I'm a dad. I'm sure there's a lot of moms and dads listening to you every day.
I know there are.

And

when I started realizing the extent

of child predators and the networks that they have in America, I was so overwhelmed by it. I couldn't believe the numbers.

The Department of Homeland Security told me that in a 12-month period, they received 36 million

reports of

kids being targeted online by child sex predators. I said, 36 million? They said, yes, it's over 3 million a month.

It is so huge and so massive that regular parents, even Christian parents, patriotic parents, you know, the ones that pay attention, even we can become victims of these people.

They are that tricky, that elusive, that, that demonic. So that led to me writing this song.
I'm sick and tired of us sitting around hoping they don't get our kids next.

You know, it tells us in the Bible to go on the offense when you're a parent. You're supposed to not just defend, but go on offense.

If you know there's a wolf in the front yard, you go out there and handle the wolf. And that's how I look at these predators.
So, The Righteous Hunter, that song was born from that thought.

You know, you say, you know, it can even hit us.

I've only told this story once before, but

my son, when he was probably

14,

he was playing on a PlayStation,

and it's one o'clock in the morning, and the phone rings.

And we were lucky enough at that time to have land lines, and the

and we had multiple lines. And it rang once, and then it hung up.
My wife was like, What was that? And I said, I don't know.

And then she, it bothered her so much, she stayed awake and she watched the lines, and she saw line line two light up. She's like, Somebody's on the phone.

And we went up, we found out that my son was on the phone with a gamer.

And we called the FBI, and my son was freaking out. He's like, dad, he's just a normal kid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Called the FBI. They do an investigation.
He was an adult.

He was working at, let's just say, a major amusement park in the Los Angeles, Orange County area.

And

was, I mean, as the FBI told us, this is the way it happens. You don't see it.
It's in the middle of the night.

They had just caught somebody who had just, in our general area,

just caught somebody whose daughter was taken and taken across state lines.

And they said, you know, they just said, hey, we're going to send you an airline ticket. Just come and visit us.

We're just, and, you know, it didn't turn out well, but they caught that person as well. But that doesn't happen all the time.
You usually don't catch it. We were really blessed.

Yeah, the stats are that that less than 1%

of kids who wind up being trafficked are ever returned to their parents. This video that you're talking about that I shot, I had to take some time to think about it.

I wrote this song almost a year ago, and it is such a disturbing subject, but I knew it was written for a reason. It was written to make parents wake up.

It was written to make predators hopefully shake in fear from the wrath of God and the American parent, because I don't think they have any fear.

I know they don't have any fear of God, but they need to fear us. And so I took a lot of time shooting it.
In this video, Glenn,

there's a reenactment of adults purchasing children in somebody's house,

which is accurate because

we had actual supervision in the room from people who do this for a living. They go sting these people.
They set them up. They arrest them.

We had them in the room to make sure everything we did was accurate. So I would urge people to watch it.
As hard as it is to look at, you need to look at it.

Was the girl who's returned, was that just off the top of your head? Was that just a hope or is that a true story in the video?

There are kids that get returned, but it's less than 1%.

Less than 1%, Glenn.

I mean, that is unacceptable when

there's tens of millions of moms and dads who would go to the ends of the earth to get them, but less than 1% ever come back. I mean,

it is one of the most horrific blights and sins existing in the world today. I'd say the most.
I mean, Jesus himself, probably the most aggressive thing the Son of God ever said that's recorded

was that you'd be better off dead than to hurt one of these kids, a millstone around your neck, as we know that phrase. Yeah.

Yeah.

Did Sean Colms and what he was going through play a role in bringing you to this message?

Sean Combs, you mean

you're talking about Diddy?

Yeah.

Well, I saw a video of him about a year ago on stage at some award show, and he looked right into the camera and said,

I own your kids. I determine what they listen to, what they wear, what they think is cool.
I'll take your souls.

He looks under the camera with this demonic look in his eye and proclaims this to American parents. And, you know, music is his weapon.

Sean Combs and the industry, a lot of them, they use their music as a weapon to steal our sons and daughters, as the song says, to take them from us, to wreck their lives, to veer them off the path that God has intended for them to live.

They use their music to get them. And I was so enraged when I saw that demoniac say that with such arrogance.
And we know the devil is the most arrogant creature ever created.

I said, oh, let Sean Combs' music is his weapon. Well, music is my weapon as well.
So I'm going to write something and let Sean Combs and the rest of these Sean Combses of the world know

how the American parent feels about it. and what we're willing to do to protect our kids because I don't think you guys are really aware of that.
And so that's, yeah, that's where the song came from.

I went to Sean Ryan, who a lot of people know Sean Ryan from his podcast, and I asked him, Would he play the dad in the video? And, you know, this is not a guy that's going to do music videos.

I thought he would say, man, I appreciate it, but no. But he said, yes.
So in the Righteous Hunter video, Sean Ryan is playing the dad, and it's his daughter being reenacted that has been taken.

Well, it's very, very powerful. Let me ask you, what is the,

you know, I was thinking

about what TikTok is here in America and what TikTok is in China. And TikTok in China is all positive.
It's all positive. It's all uplifting.

It's all kids doing amazing things, et cetera, et cetera, because they know it's good for society. Here, they've perverted it and just went the other direction.

What is it about our society that is attracted to stuff like this?

Why do we consume this garbage?

I think we have been programmed for decades. You know this, programmed little by little by little.
Things that were shocking in the 80s now would be rated PG.

Things that were shocking even 10 years ago, now you can click on it and watch it on TikTok.

Degree by degree,

they have come further and further into

the households of Americans and conditioned those kids and parents to just consider it normal. And that's the trick.
That's the deception.

That's why you have 36 million reports in one year in the DHS alone of kids being targeted online. Listen, this video is not just to yell into the void, Glenn.

It's not just, hey, all you predators, you know, we see you. Yeah, that's part of it.
But

the bigger point of parents watching this video, and the whole thing, by the way, is posted at John Rich on X. That's just at the top of my page if you want to watch it.

The bigger point is that American parents start looking into their kids' devices. They go online and figure out how to safeguard against this stuff.
Don't let them in your house.

Listen, you wouldn't let a predator come through your front door or plate glass window in the middle of the night. He would be met with gunfire.

He would die inside your home if he tried to take one of your kids. But we sit there as we're, you know, following up on our emails or whatever we're doing, and our kids are off in the bedroom.

They could be getting taken by Roblox.

I mean, all these innocuous games that seem like nothing.

These predators are coming in and posing as a kid and then doing what you said, that story earlier, and they are very successful at it. We got to stop that.

Parents have to go on the offense, and it starts inside your own home.

The one thing that you could do is cancel Meta. Make sure you don't have Meta.
I don't know if you know this, but

Meta, if you were an account that engaged in trafficking of humans for sex,

Meta doesn't believe in three strikes and you're out. They believe in 17 strikes and you're out.

17 chances.

I don't know. I don't know.

I mean, that's what I mean. I I don't know of a parent that would agree with that.
Yeah.

Well, no parent agrees with that. But listen, we are up against an army, battalions, legions of demons in this world.

They are there. They possess people.
Just like you and I are possessed by the Holy Spirit because we gave our lives to Jesus Christ. We are possessed by him.
We're possessed by the Holy Spirit.

They are possessed by the Spirit of their Father. And it is an actual straight-up war.
And if you think about it,

what probably

puts the most tears down the cheeks of Jesus Christ

when you

hurt the kids? Yes, absolutely. That is their motive.
If they can derail the kids, they think they can win. And we can't let that happen.

John, thanks for everything. You're a good man.
I love watching you and listening to you. And thanks for everything you do.

You bet, Glenn. Thanks for having me on.

You bet. John Rich,

you can listen to John Rich on at X, John Rich at X, John Rich Music,

or at John Rich.
