The blaze radio network on demand. Love courage, truth! Do park. City is being invaded by diplomats. It's invaded One hundred and ninety three member states of the United Nations and the chaos and the confusion that they bring to the city of New York is in on tension metaphor for what's going on inside, of the United Nations Building. You know the United Nations was this grand experiment, we're going to hear World bring everybody together, Does anybody have any confidence that the UN is going to do that I mean, did we really ever? Have it I mean if wishes were dreams- and you know, pigs were horses, but anything more than a grand wish or hope
billions of dollars pour into this intern national organization, and yet they rank near dead last in every category they're supposed to lead. Have you ever to a un- Fiji Camp, they are awful. They are full full of despair. People sit literally just waiting. Be raped or die Mercury one was thrilled to be able to close two of these just caps down in the Middle EAST in the last twelve months, aid agencies. The US is ranked near the worst in the world. Fraud, corruption, mismanagement it follows the UN wherever they go UN, Scheepers caused a cholera outbreak in Haiti. In twenty ten employees have been excused of sexual harassment, an and exploitation in over ten separate countries on top
that UN personnel can be cannot be. But in national courts arrested or prosecuted for their actions, so press Trump is going to meet with them this week. Today actually meeting with representatives of one hundred and twenty other member states. That say: we've had enough. We've just had enough they're pushing for long overdue reform, but Haitians are curiously missing Russia, In China they are refusing to attend. Why is that why wouldn't two of the five permanent members of the Un Security Council be interested in reforming the dumpster. That is the UN. Follow the money follow. The power I states cuts an eight billion dollar check to the United Nations every single year we supply nearly twenty five percent of the entire global budget. And they say America isn't exceptional
Course, China and Russia want the status quo, look at what they get in return The, U N, provides them a check on you, s power through their Security council veto it costs little money in return and they make us pay disproportionately all for them. Doing it to US May I suggest that all the making human being, anybody who is actually, for instance, if I may point out bono came to the idea that some of these systems that he has been propping up just don't work. Maybe it's time for bankrolling a corrupt, failing and all powerful institutional organization like The United Nations is over and the time
for reform is right now It's Monday September 18th this is the Glenn Beck program this is the sound of the very peaceful protest that happened in St Louis this weekend. I had a hard time finding this story anywhere, anytime. I did see this story, it was,
pointed out over and over and over again peaceful protest, peaceful protest, peaceful protests. Well, thirty, people were arrested It would be, It wasn't as uh. It was. It's violent as it could have been. But I don't know if you saw the reporter that was, Pretty assaulted. I would That's the way I would view it intimidated. If we play cut three here? Is the black lives matter protesters assaulting a reporter in Saint Louis this weekend he is surrounded He is all by himself, in some of these people are wearing masks.
What is great, is one of the protesters actually took him by the shoulder and escorted him out Here is another guy who looked like a bad guy wearing a mask, and yet he fit Did the rest of them off and tried to push the reporter out of the way Dan Gray was the reporter and here is what he said afterwards
shaking I'm shaking and a bit scared, there's the mob kind of surrounded me and my photographer and got water thrown at us. We got yelled and shoved and pushed, and I understand people's frustrations with the judges decision, but they seem to be taking it out on the news media. I don't know why they're taking out on me in particular, but it is so my boss said: if there any conversation he threaten violence were leaving so we're leaving Lawrence Jones was on Fox Lawrence's from of the blaze dot com,
He's a guy who followed Barack Obama in fact campaign for Barack Obama and then realize women. All the stuff is a lot like what they're saying is doing for my community is not happening. It's a lot hey and he's become a constitutional conservative. More of a libertarian. In many ways he young kid who a millennial who is is, the figure life out in realizing this is these. These are all lies, here's. What he said: uh
the protests in Saint Louis over the weekend. So what you're saying is that a lot of these left, this agitators light and t four are being busted by the liberals circle rate this chaos remember a lot of the businesses that work towards during the purchasing decision are still rebuilding back from twenty fourteen, and so what you don't realize are a lot of people don't realize is that this is really not the thing to do in this. These are people that, or to great chaos. I know nobody wants to hear that on the left. Nobody wants to hear that. Nobody wants to believe it. Nobody wants Listen to it I mean they'll, accuse the right of all kinds of stuff and believe me I can accuse the right of a lot of stuff myself. But if you really want to get down to it, if we really want the truth, here's the truth is
All right is being funded, I believe, because I use I take. I take people at their word I've seen evidence of it outside of the United States and I've seen the influence at least intellectually. But is being funded, I believe by the Russians they're getting a lot of money from overseas, because they're funding the Nazi movements job. In hungry there there supporting the Nazi Golden DAWN Party in Greece and they have direct ties here to the alt right in America. That's the truth, as is getting their money A lot of these. The lot of this money is coming from the left and George Soros.
And nobody seems to care. And I'm having a really hard time with I'm going to get into this a little later, but I went to. I was in that look at this weekend because I was asked by a guy who, who I really even I think, is a really good guy Tom Scott. He's the guy who started Nantucket Nectars and we become friends over the last few months and he's a uh A constitutionalist and full businessman and a man who is really on his own journey. It's trying to figure it all out, and I love people who will question all sides.
And I went up and the Nantucket project is- is his kind of big thing that he does every year and for the life of me, I couldn't figure this crowd out, which is a good thing in many ways, I couldn't figure out who they were. I know this that were playing with definitely not fence line. Letting go. For that reason,. And I I listen to a group People talk about some really fascinate and worthwhile things. And yet there was about twenty percent of the audience. They paid a lot of money to be there, I'm not sure they really one. Anything other than information of their bias. And I don't want to stick them out as being unique. I think that's happened. I think that happens with everybody, you
want confirmation of your own bias. I was walking into a church on Saturday because they were having a big deal about God and church, and so I brought my family and so I'm walking into church on Saturday with my, but my kids. And somebody wearing a badge would pay to go to the conference. Shout out in this crowd, well look at that Glenn Beck Can into a church there's a Big thing- and I really not really not really. I do this every Sunday and sometimes on Saturday Kids just looked at him and then looked at me like what the he didn't know who I was and he didn't care. He didn't care. I
had dinner on Saturday. You want to talk about head explosion. I had dinner Saturday and at first I was told that it was like only like ten people were coming and I'm like. How did I get this? Invite that's not possible. With Paul Kigami, who is the the former president of or maybe current, president of Rwanda and really amazing? And then I find out Saturday afternoon that vis sent a fox is coming and I'm like you have got to be kidding. Oh my gosh, how am I going to this dinner? Oh well I'll just listen, just listen to what he has to say and I'm just not going to have sex. I'm just going to eat my food, an I'm just going to go away. I get there and there's like a whole bunch of people Jennifer
dinner is there who was really impressive and gracious really amazing. If we have I'm today I'll tell you about that, because it's nice to meet somebody who you think is probably going to be a jerk and was absolutely not so I sit down and I don't want to say who I was sitting with, because it was a closed is a close dinner, but I was sitting Next to somebody that was very, very. Influential and famous. And he was delightful and wonderful and there's not a thing we agreed with, but we had a great conversation, About things that were meaningful. His wife, on the other hand, decided two, the minute we sat down to, blame me for all of the problems the United States is going through, blaming me for.
Donald Trump and everything else and I a I see, there and I I tried to have a conversation with her on. What do you do? Do you know Donald Trump was elected. I mean do you have any. No after she stopped talking. She. Stop listening. It was weird it was as if she thought her mouth is the listening device. Somehow or another. If the mouth stops working the ears stop working, it was weird. The only reason I bring this up because. We have to realize that our mouth is not connected to our ears in Akhtar mouth should probably work less at our ears. Should work more beyond that we have to start talking about
The things that uncomfortable we have to. Start dealing with things that are on, comfortable to us and art of listening, and discussing and stop shouting and blaming. I don't need to say this to this audience, but there's bad cop. I want the bad cops arrested, There's a bad judge. I want the bad judge arrested but how do we have this conversation. We have. We have this conversation in a country to where we don't believe that any of the leaders are going to get off. I understand now, for the first time I didn't understand twenty years ago, when I probably didn't understand five years ago, but I do now- and I think you do too how people could cheer when O Oj Simpson got off. Do you remember that
the first time in my lifetime that I thought. Oh, my gosh, a justice served always what is new. Hot, for me, wasn't for a lot of african Americans. It sure was for this white guy from Seattle. Whoa wait a minute. The justice could go wrong. And I think the same people who are saying how can people be cheering that Donald Trump one ice? It's the same phenomena that happened with Oj Simpson years ago there. So tired of being kicked in the face there. So tired of of Justice not being served and when somebody works the system and punches the system in the face and beats the system you cheer. Hey. I will tell you, though, I think it's going to end the same way that
did with the Oj Simpson. I think there comes a time that we all say yeah. You know 'cause, look at the the ratings on Oj Simpson now in the african american community, they're all kind of saying yeah. You know, maybe not so much. Coming up in the show today we're going to do everything we can to make Glenn tell us who he was sitting next to at the dinner. The other night turn only gold on the program out going to do it. We can trick you into it, but better you usually get things out and get yourself in trouble that it won't happen today, but it probably will be in the future I'll be like. I didn't tell that stroke crap. I wasn't going to tell you Imagine losing two thousand dollars after one incident? It's worse. I think, worse than than that, somebody comes up to you and robs you you're personally violated. Somebody comes into your house.
And it is worse than the money you lose two thousand dollars after one incident.

Glenn Beck Glenn Beck, you know. It's amazing, as I can't find a single story on he's a in the things that matter of the stories that matter the Emmys, not not one. It's almost like they don't matter at all. No, you gonna trust the blaze them yeah. I know I don't know right now I mean I'm looking at right now, yeah. I don't even see the biggest story of the day and the stories that matter what it is, a cool section, great idea to have the best, but like they don't even many. Covering the naked egg taco the the naked a taco at Taco Bell, don't tell me you haven't. No, I haven't needed, I guess some believable, it's a taco, but this taco. Shell is a fried egg so does not sound. They stuff the cheese and the potatoes and the bacon inside
at the egg and it's folded over in the shape of a talk a little too rubbery to sound delicious I don't know if there's something I think we need to try. Well, you know, because it's ok, it's an egg yeah 'cause! You can make a taco shell out of almost anything people. Don't know this. People have not been covering this yeah, but they made it. If I want my egg to be so rubbery that it's because that is that it, It's like a uh taco shell, that does not sound appetizing notate try, but it's just the Glenn Beck. This is the Glenn Beck program, so I'll talk about Ben Shapiro actually you mention you saw Jennifer Garner. Real life and I'd rather hear about that. No, no fence Ben, I'm sure you know I would like there's a lot to be said on the Jennifer Garner thing: yeah, there's a lot: okay, man, I'm not gonna share with you, but Ben Shapiro.
He was out at Berkeley and I want you to know that people people who listen, will some will say, Mark Scheerer lose route, user searches can powering in a corner. No, not cowering in a corner, speak the truth and speak it with wisdom and the fact and without hyperbole, and without name calling 'cause. I think a lot of people translate you're saying a lot of times as cower in the corner and just you know, go along to get get along yeah that that's not really what you're saying now. No your corner, who, corner. Do you belong in a corner? I don't belong in a corner. My corner is my country, I'm going speak out, and I'm going to come out for my country, I'm going to cower in a corner.
However, not really divisive issues, though, because sometimes you may I may I I know you really are focused on Jennifer Garner, but can we talk about that? I make. Is that a lot of knowledge? If I think about her and then listened about what Ben Shapiro is saying, this is Ben Shapiro and Berkeley, he is, he is taking on a person on the left about abortion and listen to the way he handles this? So my question was about abortion and I just want to know why exactly do you think a first trimester fetus has moral value? Okay, so first trimester fetus has more value because Are you considered a potential human life or or a full on human life? It has more, Will you then just a cluster of cells? If left to its natural processes? grow into a baby. So the real question is: where do you draw the line you can draw the line at the heartbeat because it's very hard to draw the line at the heartbeat. There are people who are adults or alive the a pacemaker need some sort of an outside force generating their heartbeat.
Based on brain function. Okay. Well, what about people who are in a coma? Should we just kill them problem is anytime. You draw any line other than the in the child. You end up. A false one? They can also be applied to people who are adults so human life has intrinsic value or it doesn't. I think we both agree that adult human life has intrinsic value. We start from the premise That sentence house is what gives something call value, not necessarily not necessarily being a human alone. Ok, so when you're, so when you're asleep, can I stab you I, still considered sentients when I'm asleep, if you are in a coma from which you may awaken, I stab you well then so that you answer that, because I have no interest in actually ordering stuff. So that's still potential sensing and it's still a potential sentence. You know what else is potential sentients being a fetus there's nothing better. That was that
in. If I'm in a coma and I'm not like doing any. Is anyone yeah, I'm not because any issues amongst the world. Whereas up a bit I don't want a child may or may not be a burden to people right and a lot of people's parents. Farm wanted right were bunch college students in that the problem is that now the singer shifting the argument right before you're making the argument on the intrinsic value of a life based on sentence. I know you're talking about the level of burden that somebody presents as a separate moral arguments. Okay- I don't believe that you being a burden on somebody is justification for them killing you in general I'll leave it at that, but I appreciate you and I'll leave it there yeah, you probably should probably should. I should probably leave this state after that it's amazing, because you know how you can. First of all, you can go to their last argument. There a burden I mean
in a look, a lot of people when you have someone who is hooked up to machines in a coma what it it's an incredible burden on the family, because you hear about human life, you still try to fight through it yeah and the state state cost. I mean, there's a million things you can argue on the right. That is a I am embarrassing and the reason it's not a you. You could fault the guy for making the point the way he did the problem is there's no value in the point. It's not that he point poorly set the points ridiculous. So but here's the thing I mean being- able to have that dialogue and that's quite honestly why people want to shut other people up and you. Don't have the You don't have the intellectual firepower of Ben Shapiro. Then you get down too. Well, that's 'cause, your side did it first and that's just there's no there's there's nothing at the beginning there nothing to be gained. There is a moment where you go into like the gym at your local. Why an
You're going to be a better pick up team, it's like I got one other guy is gonna, bring it just Lebron James Walks, India, that is the Ben Shapiro moment. It's like she is probably our William F Buckley. He and he and the gold Jonah Goldberg are Lee, the William F Buckley of our our generate it's one of those things when you have one of those guys on your side, you're, never losing an argument. So I met or and say I met. I met some people around him and I listened to Ray Rice this weekend right, the former ravens running back yet who might be known for something? Yes, quite a public incident at a casino in Atlantic City in an elevator. He was more popular at this convention that I was something about. Let's say it's something that is like hop: okay, that so a lot. I was interested and I'm not sure I am not sure how I feel about him. Yet I'd like to talk to him,
but he he is on this and he's on this. I don't know if you'd the tour he's he's just he he wants to have his voice heard and set the record straight. I don't think there's any coming back for him not now initially because he had a domestic violence incident. If you don't remember that video in the elevator was really bad and he's you know he was being You stand has tried to come back, is shown, rest in that. But you know no one's given yeah So he's I mean you know, spoken. He said them, There's no excuse and it happened once and he said it had never happened before it never has happened. Since then he said the woman who is my girlfriend is now my wife and said. You know we have, I think he has three or four children now and he said we are doing things together.
To speak out against abuse. He said, but there's a there's, a problem in our community, so we don't. We ever want to address it was in Thing is one of the women that was flying in, for this conference happened to by chance be seated right next to Ray and his wife on the airplane and She started a domestic abuse program. Around the time that Ray was. She said. I've said his name, probably ten thousand times and that I've never spoken to him until we set Next to each other- and she said it was fascinating and she said I applaud him for what is doing and she was speaking about what they're doing but That's something really interesting. She said well,
this Ray said fear rules the world any Said I define fear as flea, everything and run flee everything and run fear an acronym or face everything and rise. He said I have decided to face everything and rise and he said I want to rise for my children-. Now imagine your dad is known as a guy who knocked your mother out. While you were dating. Imagine what you as a child are going to go through having that as your dad and nobody ever forgetting or forgiving you, on that she said that
She started around the same time this to it can be used because she was personally involved with somebody who was killed and, and she said everybody said. Oh there was no signs, there was no signs of it. She said yeah they're, really They really were she said, but the problem is nobody's teaching about the can because no one wants to hear it. I think this is really important- not even on domestic abuse but on our you know those friends that just don't want to hear the truth, or they don't want to hear warnings. They don't want to hear hey. This is not going to end well, she said: it's some studies and they found that the minute you say, domestic abuse Nobody listens they finished and there's, nobody wants to hear about it, because it's too horrible Ann B. Nobody thinks it's them and she,
until it becomes them the don't see any of the lead up, so there's no real teaching, because all we really do is teach about domestic abuse. Hey, don't knock your wife out in the elevator. She What they found is that if they change the language, just a little bit an make it personal and make it, about something that everybody has seen an make it about. The warning signs instead of abuse, unhealthy relationships, sigh things of an unhealthy relationship. She said now people start to listen. And so they found the way to talk about it, and we- one of the things we spoke about, weekend was technology. She is we're not we have zero experience now, if you're a millennial, you have almost zero experience: talking about hard things face to face.
Doing hard things face to face? So We, how are we going to be able to talk about things How are we going to be able to communicate to each other how we going to be able to get through things? If we can't say the hard things to one another. So she's been going around. The country in this organization is called one love and Miss Katie, Hood and hood, and she said we first we she said a seventeen minute film and they We go into schools and we would show- and she said, and then we started working with. I think it was the people at Apple and she the people of Apple said. Why do we take this a seventeen seconds Seventeen minutes and make it thirty seconds she said. Well, I took very complex, the city. I know I think we can do that. Here's how they took- the Ray Rice issue and then package those issues into something that was thirty
seconds, long to show you hey, there's there's. There might be some signs that you should watch out for she said people think that goes from like ninety percent. I'm not part of abusive relationship to about percent saying holy cow, but that's Well, I'm not now that stuff has happened to me. Maybe I dodged a bullet. Listen because I love you. I want to be your only got because I love you skip class with me. Let's stay in bed today, because I love you. I just want to be with you so freaking much because I love you.

Actually it is creepy, it's weird to it's. It's because it starts out with scene. You
seems like all that's I mean that's the point, taking seventeen minutes of what seems nice in. In and turning it into abuse in thirty seconds is, is pretty remarkable. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether we should have Ray rice on or not. I would be I would be very interested to talk to him. I've heard I was fascinated. I've heard he really has made the effort to try to turn this thing around. It seemed like it to Maine Weather going to forgive him or not. I don't know I mean I'm sure he wants forgiveness, but he doesn't expect anyone to forget about what happened I have heard a lot of people who really stand by his sincere effort to turn it around. I think that would be fascinating. Talking even with him and his wife, nothing like when you have that feeling of making somebody that you care about happy a person smile again, proflowers wants to help.

He passed away seventeen years ago. Now, I'm sorry, God in ninety three and it took me basically- on time to get over the hate that I have for this man and I became a single parent from my first wife, the mother of my children and I had to be mother and father to them. I think you have ray rice on just for the simple fact of his ability. Hopefully he forgave himself and his children going to be involved, and he needs to explain at that moment what happened and why it happened in the end I will tell you bury. I heard him speak this weekend and it to me. It did sound like he had. He had dealt with
with his wife, he had dealt with uh with his children and he did lead with the hardest. One of all is to forgive yourself for it. I'm not sure if that work has been done yet but will look into it see if we can get Ray rice on interesting conversation Glenn Beck.

The debris was evidence of what it occurred hours earlier chaos, even though the press is calling it peaceful. It was chaos,
shop and restaurant owners inside universal or university city outside of Saint Louis, woke up to sweep the glass from the broken windows of their businesses again They were innocent victims of the violence that erupted after Jason. Stockley was acquitted of murder on Friday, Stockley a white former police officer shot and killed Anthony Lamar Smith, a black man during Two thousand and eleven car chase it's a colossal failure of our nation. One more of our citizens. We end up dead, doesn't understand that this is not the thing To do here, I don't I get into the, the officer of the case gets quite honestly. I haven't been following it and I wasn't on the jury. If there's a problem in Saint Louis, it needs to be fixed, but rioting and looting and destruction and chaos. That's the way
Do things into Calipari in countries in socialist countries and underdeveloped countries? That's not the way we do things here. It is it is that very chaos that a lot of immigrants came here to get away from. If you Wanna protest, something you have every right and I'll stand for your right to do it. You wanna see you want to read you one of those stand up in protest, something that you, you know you nothing to do with, and you don't understand all of the details, as has been the case in other instances, go ahead. You have a right to do that too, but have a responsibility to do it in a peaceful manner. Remember, Frederick Douglass Booker Washington, Martin Luther king. They would not stand with you there Protest strategy was never violent. They knew Riots in the end would not work and by the way, Martin Luther King never wore a mask. Never
bad guys, the enemies of his people, of all people, the clan. They were the ones that wore the masks your face, be seen. Bad guys wear masks and only something worth protesting for something worth living for is something going to jail for you'll be joined. Great ranks: Gandhi, Martin, Luther King, Bon Hafer. But the moment you smash a window of a small business and you mess up that owners, effort and to make a living. You forfeit your ability to be heard. You're, no longer a protester. At that point, you simply a felon
it's Monday September 18th. This is the Glenn Beck program, Daniel Rider, a hobby lobby. Customer found a decoration in one of their stores offensive. I I have to tell you I like hobby lobby. I am. It is one of the only stores that I frequent a lot. I am probably you know hobby lobby, myself, probably at least once a month I paint by painting supplies and everything else. My wife goes there all the time and the kids and I we go through and we you know, we look at the models and everything else and just once in awhile, just for fun, we just kind of walked the whole thing and there's a lot of stuff. In there in their home accessory department that I find offensive? Yes, I do I find like who would put them, who would put that up? Not an inoffensive like any other way than wow? Is that bad taste
yeah. This is not what Daniel writer did. She. She shared an image on something she found so offensive Anne. She requested that hobby lobby remove the decor from their shelves. So what was it. She posted a picture of a shelf with glass bottles containing what appeared to be replicas of raw cotton plants. She captioned the photo this to or is so wrong on so many levels. There is nothing decorative about raw cotton watt since, when have you ever seen, people who just take sticks? put them in a vase. There's I mean that's the same thing. Isn't it I got piles of sticks all over my house. That's rarer sticks in every corner, right of my home right now, tide with, of course, twice
yeah, because the only use in modern society for twine is the hold sticks up in the corner of correct and by the way that is what is cotton? It's a plant, it's this is basically a flower in a vase, that's it This is so wrong on. So many there's nothing decorative out raw cotton, a commodity which was gained at the expense of african american slaves. Oh my gosh uh huh Sensitivity goes along way. She added please remove this decor. Ok! Well, let's just let's go through a couple of things: do you ever wear cotton Daniel! Do you ever wear cotton, because you know at one point I was picked by slaves. There is nothing decorative and will, may I ask your not using that cotton shirt to be decorative. Are you I mean it's just it's just container right the container of your flesh, it's decorative clothing is nothing really, but at this point decorative 'cause we could
we cannot all control the temperature in each building. We don't even need to encouraging anyone here by the way to come in without clothing on, but in theory you could crucifix crucifix in urine. That's art. But a plant is not and by the way it Danielle, please Tell me the that you don't wear denim either they Denham is made out of cotton, but be INDIGO indigo. Is a color all that blue, if you're, not wearing blue? Are you because blue Indigo was was pretty much I don't know minor, how you get hit by slaves, slaves to that and also tobacco and rice you haven't eaten any rice, have you or rum or sugar because most sugar back in the day came from plantations here in the United States, and Call farmed by so please Danielle that
holding these here holding your restaurant uh accountable every time you go in and there's a sugar packet right there. In the center of your table, you're saying, aren't you. I can't believe how insensitive you are, Why? I only will you sweet and low exactly right, no slaves, involved in that. Of course, you would have a hard time telling your person, waiter or waitress Waitperson? If you will, that you have a problem with that, because you of course don't frequent. Restaurants, because Waiters used to be african american slaves. So they once held that job. So there is nothing. How dare you use a wait? Person right or or seamstress or launder or or a driver or a stable hand, or a carpenter or Stone Mason or blacksmith, or a weaver or fisherman or a sailor or bricklayer or Baker or a Taylor painter reporters any of those things: I'm sure you don't
who's right, here's the thing this story is the number two story on the blaze? Now the blaze has launched a kind of softly today, a a redesign of the age and the way that we are writing stories and I have told the writers and we've gone over this now for for quite a while- and we worked all last week together every day. Last week. Try to develop, a new writing style and I have told them to just stay out. You can have perspective, but your perspective to the end of a story, don't tell me about a historic speech, because that is opinion. It's its opinion. That is your that its historic. Tell me about what happened and if you want to add perspective, then let's make that at the end of perspective, but is it
don't waste anybody's time. Nobody has time to be able to read stories now. This time you have ten seconds that you're reading a story. So let's get to it! and let's make sure they were only covering the things that really matter now, that's really hard to do so. Story came out yesterday and I talked to Leon who's, the editor of of the blaze, and he made a case that this story is a story that matters, just want to read the perspective, so Does this story matter? the answer is no Reported on it, yes, we did and here's why our corrective as a company is to never waste your time as a reader and we're taking that seriously. The reason why we included the stories because we felt it was indicative of how blessed we are as a nation and people Maslow's hierarchy of needs would put this pretty high up, as you can
guess the vase being offensive is really something that only people who are in the most stable of economic conditions could or would include in their worries of the day perspective is what America is missing. You do need another story to outrage you or to show you how crazy things have gotten. You can find those stories on any radio program. Any television show any news site we're Going to give you those stories, it's a way of your time and it's taking us in the wrong direction, do feel that the Americans do need stories that show how blessed we really are, problems that we are dealing with or- dreams for much of the world. It is our privilege that is so disturbing? It is our lack of gratitude and perspective for people.
Take their time to worry about a bunch of cotton in a vase in a store which eighty five percent of Americans will never step into, not because they are against it or for it or anything else is because there is never going to walk into it. Should show us that most not spending their time, searching for ways to simply feed their families or find a roof over their head. America is blessed even for the worst off. America does have real issues, but what's Some Americans call problems certainly blessings to much of the world. So what matters? Most, this don't get distracted by stories like this or discouraged by those who enough wealth, health. In time that they can. And their time in worry about meaningless things like a cotton plan,
in a vase. Instead, why don't we work together? Take our time, helping those who are truly struggling instead of post about a product in a store that honestly will never affect you or your life, any way, shape or form find a story and a perspective from the police dot com right now the headline is hobby lobby's offensive decoration is gone, bonkers, viral thirty, three thousand facebook reactions and counting, and then you find out kind of like that, because it's true it's the type of thing that gets people through the day these days, without any meet with any real value. I hate keeps me warm, so as I was reading that yesterday
and Leon, and I were talking about this article- that terror wrote. I'm on my way, back from Nantucket and just posted something leaving Nantucket broken yet optimistic, or something like that, just searching for something that matters and Dwayne. Posted, and by the time I landed, I read his post. Is it Glenn? I need to thank you for something your program over the last couple of weeks is pushed me out of my comfort zone. Like you can't imagine, I'm literally writing to you from a bus on the way to Houston to help those who have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey, I'm a father or four in my mid 40s from Ohio like most, I got to work everyday. I have homework and sports in the evening with my kids and if I'm lucky, I might have an hour or two of time to myself my
Life of seventeen years much the same without the luxury of most any down time to herself as she has to work nights. We Icehouse house a couple of cars to show for all of our work? Thankfully, our kids are healthy and we have family vacation and will enjoy a night out on the town occasionally, but with all we're blessed with now listen to this life, is the. If we had no meaning. I've this way for several years. Good is all of this work really affording me? What is the purpose? ok now I have to tell you that was me yesterday. I was yesterday morning, I woke up and I was a completely broken man I was I was done. I was done What is the meaning of any of this? He writes
Both my wife and I were raised Catholic, went to catholic schools few years ago. We just stopped going to church no real reason. Our tenants just became less and less frequent eventually stopped. Few months ago my wife was invited to a new church and asked me to go as well. We intending this non denominational church ever since, in the message I'm receiving is much more impactful than what I experience in churches before the message that I was hearing from church was one of action. One of involvement. I was being challenged to be more than just a person who shows up on Sunday and then goes back to my routine to do. Something that matters then Texas was hit by the hurricane. I two hours every day of commute time, and I can say that the vast majority of that time is spent listening to your program, and I listen to your description of the devastation into those on the ground, helping to bring some sense of hope back to the victims. That weekend, a call, came out from a pastor to help with donations and volunteers. Well, I hesitantly signed up with a
about two weeks away? There was plenty of time to find excuses on why I couldn't go. My kids soccer I'd miss work almost every time I wanted to back out. There was something to push me to go and one of the biggest was your show over the past week, hammering home, find your meaning So here I sit clan on a fifty seven passenger bus somewhere in Kentucky we have twenty three people of all ages, one flew in from Massachusetts to join us several in the bus couldn't afford the cost of the trip about three hundred dollars each. So we set up a go fund me account and we raised over one thousand five hundred dollars to ensure that they could go and use their time to help. Below me, the bottom of the buses filled with donations, thousands of dollars of diapers and wipes, and food and cleaning supplies and in the row seat. Next to me, since a binder with over three hundred letters of encouragement to the people of Houston from a junior high school, I am full of there are some that actually are well
on the path to knowing what matters. They were, the ones that organizes strip and donated items and money and even ask their students to write letters, and I'm full that in my small effort to help those in Texas I will come recognize what matters most. So I teach my children and encourage them to do the same thanks for the part. You you played in driving me to look for what matters hopefully We'll be able to find Wayne and get him on the phone in the next couple of days as he finds meaning in Houston. Ecofacts recently announced breach could affect a hundred and forty three million Americans. Do you know if your name is even on that list? Were you affected so far?

I could you just do me a favor? Could you could you just google for me a wall. Could you just google that for me, a walleye just like yeah what could definition definition of a wall? Our wall, a continuous vertical brick or stone structure that encloses or devise an area of land you know get to the one where it says a concept of amnesty. That to be scrolling for awhile yeah? I think to get you don't think. That's now roll amnesty wall and the role that amnesty will maybe there's something, because there is a new thing happening here where and where to play the audio for you in a second, where everybody is saying: no, he didn't mean a wall wall. What the hell do wait. What so you thought a minimal wallich of a flight is a the one that I thought:
we all agreed on was the definition of the four letter word wall. See him in a wall You're thinking of a wall like a wall, you would run used to separate us to yeah. That's all yeah, that's a common mistake. You know that's! So what did he mean when, because I heard somebody say no, he was talking about a concept when he was talking about hanging solar panels, on the concept concept holds solar panels up a wall concept. Okay, a solar wall concept hang solar panels. So. This wall is a wall concept. Is that like an occasional table? Okay, yes I think it's like an occasional tape. I mean it's an occasional table and I don't know what it is the rest of the time that occasionally I think it's a table. I don't know what that means. So maybe this is a con septa wall like an occasional table, but I will tell you if that, indeed is true. Occasional tables are always
still tables Glenn Beck That is a real wall. You're talking about our offense, I think that What is the definition of wall is something that we all need to have a serious conversation. In some cases it will be a Ballard fenced, which is in fact, was appropriated last year and we've already begun construction that tweet the the president tweeted. Yesterday. The wall, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old, an existing fences, is Mark short over the weekend, for the White House from there will be a wall and Mexico will pay for well Wolf, there's already, in fact, in many cases along the Rio Grande River levees that are built in fact, are higher in some cases the what the wall would be. So, yes, the is it is a myriad of different structures along the wall that we expect to be secure to make sure the America safe
Where is the Wall and Mexico will pay for it? Will he deliver on that promise presidents going to deliver on his promises? How are you going to convince the Mexicans to pay for it? They say: there's no way they're going to pay for the President of Mexico and he says that is, happening? We also the transcript of that conversation. Five you had with the present have doubt of the present the foreman proven wrong. I suspect that he's going to make sure that that wall is built in that Mexico will pay for have a conversation about what a word from Wall meetings. Twenty! What do you? What I mean, because we were told, there's going to be a wall of physical law, and now we have to have a serious conversation about the definition of a wall. No, actually we don't hears from Fox and friends here, Steve Doocy, The wall almost become symbolic. I mean, I know the president ran on it. It was a mantra, but at the same time, border crossings have gone down dramatically and you were talking about how the board the wall exists in certain forms and there's money to go to. It has to come from Congress. But do you think we're
going to get to the point where maybe they won't build a wall, maybe they won't build a wall. So the definition Wall is mantra. It's mantra yes it's, so it's not a wall wall like when I, when I think of a wall now this is more of this is more of cotton in a vase. This is more decorative, come with decorative it's deck. Ok, the wall is more decorative and get to start a conversation which another theory that was passed around this weekend. So is Trump going back on his promise on the wall, Or was the wall his blunt way of raising the issue build a wall is just to catch. Your way of saying fix our borders face it. I love you is waive than saying I have a biological attractions you that may wear off at some point? Hi he played so it's just. It wasn't a wall. It was a catchy, your way of saying considerable the border. That is what it is. That's clearly
but it is it's just it's clearly what it was right. So when they were saying wall, what they were saying was sickly. Amnesty Yes, okay, so it yeah we'll amnesty see, here's here's the deal. Look. I understand people people are going to people who want to live, they want to live where Fox is telling them to go live because You don't want to feel like you were duped and stand that and it is human nature, that you want to give somebody you've trusted you've, put a lot of stock into and so you don't want to feel like a wait, a minute he was lying. So what will do. Is you will lower the standards? It is the Overton window. You will lower the standards and you'll say yes well, but him just saying that has turned on people coming across the border.
Why is it? Why is it we? I don't have, a conversation in America on an amnesty and why wouldn't we have a conversation on any kind of border security? It seemed reasonable to people, we wouldn't have that conversation, because we said the net president, that comes in all it's going to do is reverse it. You I have to have a physical wall, because the next president and so will be going back and forth every four years should be going back and forth, and we can't do that. What was your reason. And now people just don't want to feel humiliated and they don't feel like they were duped. And so they are they're giving themselves and out. Please don't go over the cliff with the rest of society. Please don't do that. There hey. There has to be something that is true and solid, like a wall
in your life, that? You say: ok, I'm not going to cross this wall. So you're saying I should cry can cross those lines when I need to know is what you're saying that in my life I went every good well, there are certain lines that I can just kind of move over when needed, eggs Actually right except completely reverse it Then everything will be fine. All right. There's a story about the Dallas School District that is now weighing renaming schools after Franklin, Jefferson and Madison, there are schools that they are now exploring. Taking. The name of Franklin Jefferson and Madison off. Oh, okay, okay,
Well Thomas Jefferson. I can understand 'cause, that's an easy one for the intellectually lazy, it's an easy one, if you if you don't really know history, you I've only listened to history in sound bites and you've got it from a social justice warrior. I understand Thomas Jefferson Benji. Franklin, Benjamin Franklin was: abolitionist one of the strongest abolitionist who died as a joke because they were trying to smear him in the south because he had become such a strong abolitionist, they tried to smear him and say he went crazy and you Take his name off, I'm start time get my arms around that one. He's like the example of what you want to hold up the guy. He is
the guy that you see. You know what it's easy to be anti slavery. Now everybody's anti slavery. Now back, then everybody supported it. It was the thing to do. It was the way of the world. It was the way of the world before there was in America. It was the way of the world win. America started to take that stance at that time takes immense bravery and the man who one of the founders. Did that- and he was not alone in that, but he's one of the founders who did that was Ben Franklin and he's still getting beat up, like all the other founders. Let me just give you this slavery is such an atrocious, atrocious, debasement of human nature, that it is open source of serious evils? The happy man who has been treated as a brute animal, too frequently sinks beneath the common standard of the human species. The galling chains that bind his body do also fetter his intellectual facilities and impair the social affections of his heart to instruct
advise to qualify those who have been restored to freedom for the exercise and enjoyment of civil liberty to procure for their children and education. Calc, waiting for the future situation in life. These are the great outlines of the annex plan which we have adopted. I conceived, a higher opinion of the natural capacities of the black race than I had before entertained there apprehension seems is quick. Their memory is strong, and their docility is in every respect, equal equal to that of white children. So in other words, he's saying you know what everything we've ever learned in science in. Let me just repeat that science, was telling us that blacks are animals they're, not people and he's saying you know what my scientific observations are quite different than that, but go ahead and- and and stop looking.
Benjamin Franklin and call him an evil slave owner which he was never and he the chief abolitionist in the country yeah contrasted against a progressive hero, CHE Guevara, who I believed that much much later in history. That blacks were indolent that they were lazy, that they. Drunks I they, not serious people that he Marky Mark time is basically worthless because they were not stupid. He lived in a different time. Yeah a lot later than Ben Franklin right sure did right, but that's what they'll say. Well, he lived in a different time. Yes, so did so did Thomas Jefferson so did Ben Franklin so did Madison. So did Washington about play schools. They're now talking no Franklin. Oh Jefferson know Madison here in Texas, but there are Cesar Chavez. Schools,
By the way, Cesar Chavez used ins to intimidate both growers and farm workers to force them to sign? U F, contracts, this according to FBI, those those intimidation sessions, included, beatings, overturned cars, throwing molotov cocktails, torching fields, nineteen, seven. Female you, FW members filed a lawsuit against the union for urging them to use sex as a recruitment tool it is Cesar Chavez. Hated illegal aliens illegals were considered a threat to the jobs of the farm workers, control the border and beat any illegal alien that they that they and the a pretty good quote here is: where are you in this. You doing this for the cause or you just angry, I suppose, if I wanted to be fair, I could say I'm trying to settle a personal score. I could dramatize it by saying that I want to bring social justice to farm workers, but the truth is, I went through a lot of hell people did
we can even the score a little bit for the workers, then we're doing something. Besides, I don't know any other work I like to do better than this. I really don't that's on him. Beating people crossing the borders, but you got a school named after him, tons of them one in next, one in Detroit, one in Denver, another one in Detroit stocked in Eugene, Oregon, Madison, Wisconsin, how about Malcolm X, new thinking coming and there's a strategy coming in it'll, be Molotov cocktails this month hand grenades next month in something else the month after that be it ballots are beat bullets. We were freedom now, but we're not going to get that saying. We shall overcome we're going to fight until we overcome their schools with the name Malcolm X, one in Chicago one in Berkeley and one in Washington DC. They'll say. Well, he had a transition at the end of his life. Yes, he did but are you going to give that benefit of the doubt to any of the founders. Woodrow Wilson schools there's a Woodrow Wilson, so they're thinking about taking the name of Jefferson
Franklin and Madison off- of schools in Dallas, but there is a school, Woodrow Wilson, high school in Dallas, Texas, on immigrants, describe them as men of the lowest class from ITALY and of the meaner sort from Hungary and Poland men out of the ranks where there was neither skilled or energy or any initiative of quick intelligence. Then they came in by the numbers sorted and hapless elements of their population. The men who standards of life and work are such American work meant workmen had never redeemed yeah here to there here to four here to hither to him there, too He was appalled by the french Army allowing blacks to serve next to whites. He who's, the guy who put the Jim Crow laws into place in Washington DC. Let me say that again, it was the Progressive Woodrow Wilson that put the gym, crow laws into place at the FED. Government level in Washington DC.
He also allowed the secretary of Treasury and the postmaster general to segregate he re segregated the military That's your beloved Woodrow Wilson, their school was named after him. You know what you want to have this fight. You want to have this fight. We can have that fight. Let's just based on facts Because I got news for you: I'll put our founders up to the massive heroes of the 20th century and win every single time. If you're gonna are like me, the best thing you can do for yourself in your family is to educate yourself first and get your of a gun kid permit, and then

People like Andrew Jackson on there in Washington CALL Lincoln isn't like, and neither is Benjamin Franklin, here's what I'm going to do. I am offering today that you can send every one of those racist engraved and numbered prints that you have uh and send them in you can donate them all to mercuryone dot. Org All you do is if you are somebody you say I cannot take this racist slave owner in my pocket anymore. I will not have Benjamin Franklin. I will
nothing to do with him and Annan. The government takes that racist off of my money, an Andrew Jackson too, and Hamilton he's got a Broadway play that everybody likes so we'll leave him alone, but Lincoln he's out, grant yay bought the civil war, but he was with Lincoln he's out and, of course, Washington he's and I want you to send all of that and we will dispose of it- at mercuryone dot, Org complaining about government spending over the years. Is it possible? They have already put this into effect and are just burning all the money to protest. It is very, you seem to be spending our money on fire very possible. It is very possible 'cause I mean it could just be. A strong stance from our government were going to end oppression,
at mercury, one dot org, and so that's what I would like you to do. If you have one of those Benjamin all man, I hate that guy talking about it now, yeah see what they're talking about here in Dallas right right, I want to get rid of the school. I want him out, get rid of those yeah. I want you to go through if you're a progressive you get those Benjamin Franklin's out of there. You realize you have a government issued, so the government was endorsing him government issued individual serial number printed engraving of Benjamin Franklin that you are somehow or another. He is oppressing you and I
that oppression to go away from you. Slavery will only truly be defeated when you send us all your money when no, no, no, let me send us those views center right. Those evil, engravings of those evil founders, sent him to mercury, one dot, Org Glenn back. Love courage. True ever heard the saying you know the blind following the blind: is there a good idea because usually end up in a ditch or off a cliff or something like that and the best Uncle Bernie Sanders apparently has not heard that Because he is leading US into a massive pit or off a cliff and he knows it. The independence
enter from Vermont, who calls himself a democratic socialist, which is weird because that is a term look it up which coined by Lenin himself, because as Russians were afraid of communist, and so he said, no, no, we're not communists. No we're a democratic socialists, he is, proposed Medicare Medicare for all a single payer, healthcare system, it's a plan, would repeal Obamacare and replace it. GOSH the demo ads are going to repeal and replace with a huge, expansion of Medicare large enough to open the government run program. Who all Americans now proposal is no longer just a dream of the far left. It enjoys the support of sixteen demo big senators, including as with Warren, Cory Booker Chris, didn't kill brand and Come Harris which why does at least some from what remember
because these are the people that are saying that they might run for president in twenty twenty. Sounds good, But there's even more there's a problem with Bernie's proposal, it is lacking in detail. Specifically, the little detail of for this. But Bernie already knows this. You want to guarantee that all people have access to healthcare as you do in Canada, but I think what we understand is that unless we change the funding system and the control mechanisms in this country to do that, for example, if we expanded Medicaid everybody give everybody a Medicaid card, we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money. Then we would bankrupt the nation, ok, so with God, that's what he's proposing that went by the way was burning in nineteen. Eighty seven
the reason why he's avoiding the details now is because he's very well aware of the costs in his own words, their astronomical They will I want to get this exactly right. They will bankrupt the nation end quote: wow in the blind lead the blind. Both shall fall into the ditch Democrats, follow. Bernie Sanders at your own peril. Monday September eighteenth. This is the Glenn Beck program. I had a rough weekend. I wanted to have a good weekend. I had a rough weekend. And maybe you should already know what it promises. Expectations. Expectations just get you into trouble when you when you have expect
when you go in without any expectations are always bound to have a good time but when you go into it with expectations that I don't know. You're going to find utopia somehow or another he's disappointed, yes, Yes, that is one hundred percent. True, and it's very true with you, you have a. I mean this is a tendency of yours. How do you make? I don't know what well you if you notice that you're constantly always like depressed about various I don't know if depression is, is quite the right word for it anymore: you're, probably not it's yeah constant yeah disappear, yeah never ending just feel, do more at death, probably probably closer to that. I I I had a. I had a tough time because it was
I I I went up to the what's called the Nantucket project and I was invited by a a new friend Tom Scott who runs it and you know he will to talk about redemption alcoholism and understanding understanding, and so that was the point of the conference. Let's Let's understand concept of understanding? Let's try, I need to understand each other and I think that went real well, not with not in the least out with everyone At the same time, it was truly rim a because I have opportunity to with Paul Kagame. Who is the president of Rwanda who, It's complex because in America he would not be a guy, would vote for in Rwanda.
Dream come true in runner like are you going to it's really one question on the slaughter half of us. There is going to be a genocide situation right now. Are you going to rape, the country and kill half of us yeah? No, no, ok, great new tax is going to be ok. I can deal with that. I'm with you, I'm with you. So is guy. Who did not know that now think of think of a country the size of about Connecticut. Don't the population of of Massachusetts and think of a out million million and a half people killed in the streets butchered with machetes and raped in It's of their families in eight months.
Can you imagine what can you imagine what the world would be like if on our continent there was one state that just did that The other states, would not come to the defense, let alone, hopefully the whole world, but it was just left to happen and was because of the Hutus and Tutsis, which I love them, both their great uh for two cheese, because it sounds like I'm going to get a chocolate treat that I always loved is kid in a role, but I'm not sure if they're related, don't think they are didn't want Ask the president. Then but good instinct. So, but it was. It was interesting to me to hear a guy so
you know we knew the answer was going to come from within it had to couldn't come from outside. Couldn't come from the United Nations couldn't come from. America could not come from anyone else. It had to come from. And there is no way we were going to heal with, someone just jamming down a policy, so we had to. Something radical. We To do radical forgiveness. Now. What do you think radical forgiveness really is radical, for if is so but he calling in and saying hey. I killed. You know, Stew, that guy on the radio yeah I raped his wife and his daughter in the street and then slaughtered them in front of him. I really like to apologize so government calls you and says: hey stu. I know you have no family members left anymore,
the guy called in, and he really liked to up AJ to you now. First, you have to say. Yes, second You then have to listen to him describe what he did. That's part of the repentance process. He has to tell you exactly what he did now that would set me, yeah. I know I saw it. I you don't have to tell I saw it tell you what he did and then he asked to tell you he's sorry and ask for forgiveness. Then you have to say I forgive you and then it's all over. He doesn't go to jail. You. Lockout arm in arm he doesn't even get punished for the crime. How many It's percentage. Do you suppose? went away if you do by the way believe believe your ex Q did if they don't give you what's the
and did she that walked out That said, I will not forgive you That said, I forgive you come on. Let's go out together, let's leave together, oh god I have, I mean I would have very low eighty percent. Eighty percent, percent said I will forgive you. I will forgive you That's incredible! What's the reasoning for that? Is there something in the culture that going back? The Paul Kagami said that It is because he can Insteon. He doesn't take the credit for it, but I don't think I don't know of anybody else that could have done this. He said had to have a frank conversation in the country. That said, we need each other. We have to have each other. The population is gone a week ill all the we kill all the people who did this, though we have not. We have nothing left
and so we need each other, we have to forgive each other, and we can come back together in forgiveness, will be stronger than ever before. And that is exactly what's happening. There GDP rate of growth is eight percent every year, since two thousand and one wow I mean obviously, what's ours, you know lucky this on for size. They now delivering medicine and supplies around. Country With drones were not even doing that, really they are eight four for Africa. They are way ahead. They are most stable in Africa. They we have tapped into something. That hopefully will never need to forbid. We would ever need something that drama we had a civil war, I mean,
you know that's pretty dramatic and we you know half the country was at war with the other half of the country. I don't think we ever healed from it. Yeah it. It certainly doesn't seem like that today. No, I think I think, as American. Tend to do I I think we said no, I'm good. I've got no, I'm good. Thank you know can died, and nobody wanted to continue the war. And everybody was like- no, no, you know I'm good, I'm good we're. Fine, we're fine will get along, and I don't we ever had that process of I'm sorry, I'm by forgive and then, and then Two thousand and thirty years later we had Jim Crow, and you know the Dixiecrats in the clan and all of that stuff. Ann I think, after Martin Luther king was killed. We When you know what I'm good, I'm good, no, no we're all good we're good Okay, yeah, we're all together and we've never had. Those conversations, and
not sure, and I'm not, talking about a conversation like ok, so now all right. So now you get, I mean the kind of conversation knows. There was no reparation there, they're not saying? Ok, you need to give me your hot or your. Your cow or whatever those people might have in the in the outskirts of Rwanda, they're not say give me stuff they're saying: I forgive you and I met. Of the people that have gone through this and true in truly remarkable fashion. They. Friends, literal friends now with people who killed every member of their family one woman who everyone in her family was killed by this guy She now says he didn't want to approach her because he was, he was afraid. That she would always hate him, and so he, She really felt really bad about it. Obviously, and
he was duped. He was just a part of anger see this sounds familiar to the extreme. This hunger between these two groups, and they were said convinced each group that the other group was a monster and so the only way we could do it is that we killed everybody in this they did and as soon as it was over, they said that the killers realized oh crap. What have we done? He could live with himself, he was one first call and say I want to apologize and I'll take out I'll take, if I have to apologize, She forgave him now good friends, she's married and has a son or a daughter when he when, when she has to go out and work if she has to go, do something she'll leave her. Children with him the guy who killed her whole family wow? That's a I mean
there's like a terrible decision to be perfect. You know what work. Somehow it is, Paul got said: forgiveness is a choice. And once you make that choice, forgiveness becomes a miracle. You know the crisis doesn't bring out a new version of you, and you know this how many Have you done something really stupid? I'm sorry was really stressed out. Well in your families at stake. When there's a crisis, that's the version of you that comes out and if you're not prepared to be the best version, love yourself.
You can rise to the level of preparedness, an education bye, Only if you are educated in prepared We've seen examples like this from Houston to Florida. All last month, my patriot supply these are the people. I've trusted my food storage with as a family. They have a seventy serving survival food kit. Now for sixty seven dollars, it's healthy food last up to twenty five years for less. The dollar per serving you'll, get breakfast lunch and dinner called eight. Nine hundred and seventy seven five hundred and forty two or order online prepare with Glenn dot com. You can be, word for any eventuality, and that means being able to bring food down to others who have just been hit. Or being able to be a shelter for a storm for somebody, or Fortunately, yourself or your family were all in two. We're all going be humbled. Are you going
be prepared to be your best self, a prepared. Erica is a strong America and that's my patriot supplies mission called eight hundred nine hundred and seventy seven five hundred and forty two or prepare with Glenn dot com. Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck all the gummy said this is a process and a choice. It's a difficult thing, but if you say or vice yourself to someone who has hurt you. It's a miracle. Boy, do we need to hear those words studio, something up because there's no way. This is true. Just I heard this and I wrote it down on my way. The ninth
safest. Country in the world is Rwanda, this, according to him, and there are stories that to indicate rate will see. Ninth safest country in the world take a guess which, according to the surveys and I don't know how they rank them but he got the costs of common crime and violence as well as terrorism and the extent to which police this can be relied, be, relied upon to provide protection from crime. Ninth Safest in the world roll one, United States- maybe ninth. So true, I do not see the United States in the top twenty here number. One is Finland case urine, UAE Iceland Oman Kong, Singapore, Norway, Switzerland, a lot of those I mean some of those are because they cut your head off.
No, he he was just he didn't mean to steal a napkin. He was, he had an allergy attack. Sorry you have to cut his his face off when you look at this list, though it's largely the type of list you'd see at the top of places, with economic freedom with good growing economies. Archly Rwanda would be one that would stand out and you would not expect it to be there. In the top ten Finland, UAE Iceland Oman Hong Singapore, Norway, Switzerland, Rwanda cutter again, you got does that's another great wealth right Luxembourg, one of the highest per capita wealth countries on If not the so is so. You have great wealth and stability and then Rawanda yeah, that's bizarre. So there's no other african nations like there was only there's no way. There is absolutely no way that you to me hey, you know what should go to Rwanda No seriously, it's safe you'd be like she thought right, now. I don't know as a
this would be a little american here for a moment, not sure that I would trade the life that I have now forty one in Rwanda oh, I don't know enough about row Wanda. I know I don't like leaving the comforts that we have here in the first world, yeah, pretty sure that and safety I do feel while they're all are really rough areas, generally speaking, pretty safe in America. Yes, it's you have to know where you are? by the way we we're the most diverse culture in the history of the world? and were rather large, you visit a fat joke. I've got so who would I be to make a fat joke? I think that would be right. Yeah! No, that's true! it's incredible thing I mean you know. I understand, I mean imagine getting over something like that worry someone. Is murdering your entire family, a genocide, However, it is one thing to get an apology for genocide when someone,
who eat something nasty at you. You will not forgive them right. That is over the line right. If someone's on your facebook wall and they're, saying something offensive, you hold him to that till they die, and I said that day. They die yes, every moment for the rest of your life to be spending anger and outrage at that person that now society supposed to work, with you, one hundred percent, that they don't understand their role. They don't under if they had political differences here right and then important he had who dies in the two shoes or whatever they are Hutus and the Tutsis, whatever they I mean, that's not we have the Republicans and the Democrats Right in there much further apart, the I hot topic on the main issue is that the right use of the tubes were in the rwandan genocide, for instance, the Republicans want to repeal and replace Obamacare and now under Bernie Sander. He would-
like to repeal and replace Obamacare, but it is different way. Humble one is complete. Socialized medicine and the other is socialized medicine, Bush yeah, but really different in a different way. It's a different way. 'cause, it's a republican proposal, socialized Glenn Beck you're listening to the Glenn Beck program welcome to the program the one the only Mister, one twice, some say eleven on Itunes. I think one twice better one twice: electric power, great welcome to the program path. Thank you. We had a quite uh, An interesting email from some people in they run. A youth group RCC Youth in Richmond Virginia
they took five RCC youth, sixteen and seventeen year olds, all from section eight public housing to the confederate monuments in Richmond. For one purpose, so they can formulate their own opinions before the media frenzy is going to. Through Richmond it was a power. Full experience upon returning back to the RCC headquarters. They all talk, and then one of the kids so year old, Dick one Morton typed this out He said today me and my peers decided to visit the monuments to see what all the fuss is about- and we came up with this- is it more convenient it down some statues, then to improve the real problem of society gosh. Thank you. Yes, yes, bring sanity to. This particular broadcast a lot of People think that the problem with society is racism, but racism is only the feeling of one race being better than another.
Living in low income areas. We have our own ideas about society, everybody pointing payment monument, Ave and statues that reside there, but those statues never did anything to me or any people that I care about the only thing that ever harmed people in these low income areas is the violence that resides there in the low income areas in Lincom areas, five kids, each from different areas. Collectively, no twenty, two people open, killed over the past year, my gosh over The past year, not in their lifetime over the past year. I know we all know Navy seals who have said to us in a moment of despair. I can't go to another funeral of a friend right yeah. I don't know I don't know if they've lost twenty two friends in a year right and and these kids I mean this really
puts everything into perspective. I think they he says he goes on from the day were born we're taught, really cares and nobody can help what, if I told you, kids, starving in your bone backyard living in rundown buildings? What if I told you that there are kids, would rather rob steal and kill rats. Can go into a house with nothing to eat everyday kids like the data themselves. Do whatever to get them bands, which is money, I guess, and if we don't give it to me. I'm a take it me Everybody's young, dumb and broke, instead of using money to knock down statues that most people in low income areas never even saw How about using that money to schools fix up the community and see every day, not pro in our neighborhoods, where we see violence and hate the most I mean just believable wisdom from a seventeen year old kid who see
but violence in his life and it nice to go to this source and talk to the people, who should be the most offended and they're, not they're, not by these statues they don't care about the statues. They care about their lives, be nice. If we could have thought if we could go kind of reorganize, the focus and put it belongs, but we're not you're never going to solve the racism problem without these getting rid of these races statues. These statues, who judge by the color of our skin instead of beyond tent of our near other they're made and the download us because they're built hi and for a reason, yeah, they don't have ice student or they do have eyes. I've seen those those are the days of hate they don't they have a nice. This is it's an empty, the name to piece of metal. I don't know if you notice that an empty piece of metal or plaster or or bronze whatever then and prosper with people that they represent or dead long long color, would, let's say a plaster statue beep at well. It could be
So could be, maybe it's not painted. What would it be bad could be painted. I should be painted. I don't see those I've seen painted brown alot alot that I'm yeah, I'm not even hazard a guess as to what color it is. You know that all the all the marble statues from Rome were painted. Did you know that yeah all the paint is gone off of them? They were originally all painted. Really really, yeah, they have a few in their marble and then they were pen they painted them. Yeah, that is really garish. Colors, there's there's one two in the in the Vatican Museum and on top they not understand how gauche that is. It really looks like it's bad. It looks really bad. It's like whoa, that's ugly, gauche! I mean more coach than a big marble statue. I mean that's saying something: yes, it is an really tacky.
The colors are not so near good of colors. I feel like a really weird thing for us to even have today Just statues in general, it's a really weird thing that we pulled over from the from the old days. Especially when you know it's a strange. I don't know your, would you a statue made of you we don't usually get them once you're alive. No, no, not like Lincoln was like I don't know. I think I think the needs to be bigger. It was a solitary when he commissioned that's, not good enough but yeah. I I'm I'm saying, though, like it's, it's meant to remember people usually and and to honor them in some way, not always, but usually is, and it's not something that I I would want made of It's weird, it's, like you know it's fashion, image of someone else in a
commitments that deal with things such as these ones, that you know it's weird, because I have jewish friends who talk about that and say. This is one of the reasons why you don't have this be graven images yeah, because you know it's not just about God thing, but it's also because what part of a person are you glorifying? glorify I mean, and every person you glorify, has many many faults and you can pick out all of 'em in part, of course, because people yeah they were actually just human beings maybe when we make him into statues and monuments, it just glorifies them too much. I don't know I don't it's a weird thing that we would continue doing. I kind of understand that at times in the same human, human history doing stand all of a a statue company- that's war in daylight, I mean you're telling me that they're, not Silicon Valley, the statue thing is taken off ours. Is that two companies yeah? But I mean it's, it's not like we're doing a lot of the more we do. I probably more statue repair I mean
refer you to feel somewhat? Recent documentary entitled rocky and in Rocky three as he was retiring, they gave him a nice big statue which still exists today. We said just go up under their life right now I mean it was it was. It was on. This website was on the steps where at the top, where he would run up the stairs, but they aren't people. But it was to go there. This is not odd. Rocky is not hard, and so they actually moved him to. Where was it the spectrum? yeah! Well, there was no longer there, but they had it's in that area, still that with the sports complex, which is kind of where you'd think, so long Sylvester Stallone actually has a statue in Philadelphia one. It's awesome, it's well, it's rocky Balboa it I mean I thought it was appropriate at the top of the please yeah. You'll put you know,
you'll put like a a thirty foot vagina out in front of a building that you can have huge impact. We can have rocky on the stairs so Fairpoint. I got this for you that's hard, that's not that rocky! That's a piece of crap, but then vagina that is for all you artsy people out there. The only reason anyone goes you're, stupid museums to run up those stairs. I got news Philadelphia, the only reason anyone's ever at the top of the stairs to go into that building is because that's for sure, so you should. Let me rephrase that let me rephrase that is somebody who has been to Philadelphia lived in Philadelphia for quite some time it The live it's also the reason why people go maybe halfway up the stairs? Okay,
It couldn't make it all the way you could make it all the way up here. Just like this is good enough. He was professional, this sort. Of course we could make it all the way to the top. Gray unleashed comes up right after this program on the blaze, radio network and tv network, and it's great show you should subscribe on Itunes.

You ever had that happen to you or some like you, bent something in your head. And you realize that someone else really a lot smarter than you did it already. I used to do that as a kid all the time, but it's actually my invention, yeah. I I invented the street suite the street sweeper vacuum. That was mine and you did that yeah wow, but but in I would be someone else, somebody else to the long before me, but that was my invention. They they made the money. That's I learned Young just give up, everything's been thought of,
that's kind of where I am come up with something like that is genius it's already on the market. It's like okay, a mass allows hierarchy of needs, yeah, which is in the blaze article. You were just referring to about hobby lobby and there's this kind of a pyramid of of what of what a person actually cares about, and I, along time ago I had a friend who is going through some financial trouble, and it was going through a lot of tough time life. This is like when we're just out of high school and- he was talking about wanting to improve this karere and he's talking about coming to you know, you know, get a girlfriend and all things that you want to do when you're in that time, in your twenties early 20s and I Do you have to get past like thinking about? survival. First, you can't work about what car you have and who you're dating. You need to be able to feed yourself first and once you
I said this happens. I think in societies as well. People like- but global warming. They have to make sure they're doing how 'bout you don't know energies. So I can heat my house, so I can lives in? It was really interesting to me in in this conference the day, but I was attending this, so we can talking to these girls from Rwanda who had all to the United States to go to college. Most of them are going back home and it was amazing, I'm degree in sustainable farming, of my degree in a power infrastructure all you're like okay, yeah yeah, you're going to have any. Do you need that you're going to have a great job? Then one said I I I'm getting my degree in feminist studies and I thought It's going to be hard one to work. I mean I have a hard time finding a job in row. Wanda with that. I think and she said well, I'm I'm staying here.
And it was really interesting- the way she phrased this I'm staying here, because I think the world really needs me. I think my experience it really will help the world and don't know where they need me, the most but the world it's me and I'm like honey. The world doesn't now it doesn't, I mean, would you like her? I don't know what is in it anymore? No, it doesn't need anybody it really that don't need me doesn't need you don't need anybody, it can. You go Can you flip that can I go and help, where there's so much. I think the world has that that I can go and- and just want to help. I want to relieve the suffering of the pain or whatever. It was really fascinating. To me how the ones that were going back? They were all like I need a degree in how do we eat
and the one who said I'm going to stay in the west was like How can I piss people off? Glenn Beck.
