About this episode

The Glenn Beck Program is made possible by:


25 years ago, Muslim terrorists attacked America by hijacking airplanes and crashing into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and almost hitting Washington, DC. Glenn was live on air in Florida, and he plays audio from that show as he watched that tragic day unfold. Glenn also plays the audio of the prayer he gave live on air, which is strikingly similar to the same prayers we pray today. Glenn plays some of the haunting footage and coverage from September 11th, which stands as a harsh reminder of the day America was changed forever. Ideological Defense Institute founder and CEO, Danny Burmawi, joins to discuss his past as a former Muslim who cheered on 9/11 to an anti-Jihadist who’s warning America about the dangers of radical Islam. Glenn speaks with Charlie Kirk’s pastor and close friend, Frank Turek, who shares how to speak with conviction in a culture that is desperate for truth. Glenn plays highlights of his speech from Charlie Kirk’s remembrance, where he called for men and women to both strive for higher standards.  Learn more about your ad choices.

No, it's incredible is how many of us just accept that back pain is part of life. You know, as if being stiff, sore, uncomfortable, it's just something that you're supposed to live with now. And you adjust how you sit, how you sleep, how you stand up, how you pick things up, and soon your back starts calling the shots. That's why I like chirp and what they're doing. They make products designed to help people like you and me feel better without turning relief into a full-time job. The one that really stood out to me is the chirp halo. It's a wearable, wireless device that uses clinic-style tens and EMS therapy that you can use right at home in just a few minutes. You place it where you need it and it goes to work helping you with pain relief, muscle recover, circulation. You don't have to feel this way.

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glend-Back program. From Dallas, Texas. Hello America, it's September 11th. It is September 11th. 25 years ago. Muslim terrorists struck the World Trade Center. Struck the Pentagon. They were going to hit either the capital or the White House. We don't know because patriotic Americans decided they were going to sacrifice their life to stop the terrorist and they're playing crashed in a field in

Pennsylvania. It was one of the most incredible days I have ever experienced and Chris Brady, who has been with me since almost the beginning of this program. But I was just before syndication in Florida. I was on WFLA in Florida, the morning of 9-11. And I was shaving and a phone rang. It was my wife. Are you watching the news? I turn on the news and I'm listening to Jack Ted and Sharon who did the morning show at the time of WFLA. And they were talking about how the World Trade Center turned on the TV and Katie Courts says there's a small, looks like a small maybe a Cessna hit the World Trade Center. And I look at the picture, you know, the video that's live and I'm like that is not a small plane. That's got to be an airliner that hit that thing. Then the

second one hit, I knew we were at war. And then I had to go and make sense of a world and I was completely unprepared for. This is two days before my show becomes syndicated on National Radio. Chris Brady, who has been with me forever, he went into the archives and tried to clean them up as much as possible because we recorded everything in very low quality at the time, just to have an archive of what happened. And I want to start with with what I said was I think five o'clock in the afternoon until our work day was done and everything was closing. Everything was closing. You couldn't fly anywhere. Universities closed, public buildings closed, malls closed. There was nothing. It was like COVID within two hours.

And I was listening to a piece of this last night and I wanted to play this for you and we'll start there in 60 seconds. What did it actually sound like on 9-11-25 years ago? First let me tell you about leave filter. There are parts of owning a home that really are about stewardship. You take care of something because it's yours because you worked for it because you still want it to be standing strong years from now. That means paying attention to the small things that protect it, including something as basic as your gutters. Your gutters have one important job. Move water away from your home. That's it. When they're clogged with leaves and pine needles and shingle crap and everything else, they can't do their job properly. So I want you to look at leave filter. Their gutter protection system, it's designed to keep debris out while allowing water to flow through and it's professionally installed. They clean and realign your gutters where needed they seal any trouble spot and then they install the system for you and it helps protect your home from water damage. It's really, really good. It's leave filter America's number one gutter protection system can off the ladder. Stop. Stop. It has a lifetime warranty and it's transferable so you don't even have

to own your house. It will help you sell your house. Actually, inspection leave filter LEAF filter dot com leaf filter dot com slash Glenn Beck. Get a quote that's good for a full year. You get 35% off leaf filter at LAF leaf filter dot com slash Glenn Beck. Okay. What do we have for these cuts? What are these cuts? I'm sorry, we just got them turned around. Your first cut is when you were reading the quotes of the day starting with Mayor Rudy Juliano. Okay. So this is five o'clock. The news just ends. We're doing news. National news from ABC is, I think is even before Fox ABC news is doing every 15 minutes news reports and the news is, it's a fire hose of news. You cannot keep up with it. So now we have been following this all day long and I had just been writing down quotes that I had heard from people during the day. What were people

all around America saying? And at five o'clock, I looked at that list of quotes and I thought, that's the news. Listen to what America is saying. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. I have a sense is a horrible and horrendous number of lives lost. My mother is going crazy. I hope my brother is all right. He's my out of work partner. He's my hangout partner. I'm just in shock. Edwin Cruz, 34, whose brother Richard works in the World Trade Center. Every single American, no matter where you live, the whole country's on edge. Linda Wilson, 42, Denver. I heard a boom. People jumping off buildings everywhere.

They were just jumping. Serena Mase, construction worker, Williamsburg Bridge, New York. Everyone was screaming and crying and running cops, people, firefighters, everyone. It's like a war zone. New York Fire Marshall, Mike Smith. It's just sick. It shows how vulnerable we really are. Keith Myers, 39. It looked like a ticker tape parade. It wasn't paper or parts of the building floating down in the dust. Matthew Lowe, 29, man, Edwin. I just can't believe what's happened. My God, my heart goes out to all of these people. I just hope that there is justice. Martha

Ritley, whose daughter died April 1995 in Oklahoma. I just saw my two towers fall. I'm devastated beyond belief. In many respects, this is significantly worse than Pearl Harbor. We just don't know who the enemy is. Lewis Eisenberg, chairman of the Port Authority, New York, which operates the World Trade Center. It's so scary. It could happen to us. They could hit all the major cities at this point. How would we know? Christine itch, 39, Columbus. Whatever the lowest floors of the fire was, they were just jumping from them.

I guess it was their choice. Burned to death or jumped. This is the second Pearl Harbor. I don't think I've overstated it. Senator Chuck Hagel, Nebraska. All of a sudden there were people screaming. I just saw people jumping out of buildings. There are arms waving. I stopped taking pictures. When I started crying, Michael Walters, freelance photojournalist Manhattan. Join me in prayer. George W. Bush.

We were so innocent. No idea what was going on. This is like Pearl Harbor. We just don't know who the enemy is. Here we are 25 years later. We know who the enemy is, but we refuse to say it. We refuse to teach it. Our children don't know who the enemy is. Who did that to us? That was the day I learned how fragile freedom really is. You can abuse it every single day. You can spit on it. You can curse it. But it just seems to go on and on and on. And on that day, every American knew, my gosh, this could be over by tonight.

We had no idea. There were things that you just did not do in those days. One of those things is you did not do what I did next. We're about 18 minutes away from World Trade Center number seven, collapsing. I watched it live while I was on the air. We thought at that time, 50,000 people may have been killed. Turns out under 3000, it was a miracle. We're in the dark. We are lost. Share the next part here in just a second. By the way, the entire broadcast delicately restored. So you can hear it is available now at Glenback.com,

the original Glenback program broadcast from 9-11, 2001, as it actually happened. We'll do that just a couple of minutes. First, actually, let me give you one minute. Then we'll get back into the 2001 broadcast for just a second more. Let me tell you about Cozy Earth. The world doesn't always let you choose what day you're going to have. Some days are super easy. Then there are some really long ones. You carry things home with you that you wish you would have left some blaze else. But eventually, you get to close the door. There is something deeply human and deeply satisfying when you can get home if you have made your home a refuge. One way you can help do everything you can to keep your home free. The spirit is strong in your home. Then try to pat it with as much comfort as you possibly can because you need to recharge. You can do that with Cozy Earth. At the end of the day, I want my bed to actually feel like a

place to rest. If you ever go to a hotel where you're like, oh my gosh, this is the greatest bed. These are the greatest sheets. They always feel that way because somebody else came and made the bed. You didn't have to make it. But you crawl into a bed at a nice hotel. That's what you need your room to feel like. You're just laying in the best hotel room ever.

Also, if they send you a post purchase survey, I can't tell you what's going on. It's too long and so stupid and complicated. It doesn't matter to you. But there's another attack on people that do what I do. It is crucial that if you get a post-purchase

survey afterwards that you make sure you say, I heard this on Glenn Beck. I don't need to tell you more than that. It just is very helpful right now. Cozy Earth dot com promo code back. Cozy Earth dot com promo code back 10 seconds station ID. So I'd two producers, Jeffy and Stu at the time, and they were in the other room. I started the next sentence and they looked at each other. And I remember the look of terror on their literally. It was a look of terror on their face. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Don't know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, because nobody did. And here's what I said. I ask you if you're driving in your car or if you have not left your parking lot to pull over to the side of the road or turn off your car and leave your

key in the ignition for a moment. I ask you to pull over to the side of the road now. So I can have your undivided attention. It's not something we need to talk about. It's something we need to do. I think it is appropriate as we end our business day today that we together ask for her blessing on this great nation.

So I ask you to pull over your car. Stop what you're doing. Hush your surroundings and take a moment with me. As we speak to our Father who gave us life. Our most gracious Heavenly Father we ask you today to watch over us. Your children are confused and frightened.

We are saddened by the loss of our brothers. And saddened by the violence that our other brothers have brought upon us. We ask for your warm embrace. We ask for your, we beg for your guidance now. We ask for the guidance of our leaders that they may put aside all hatred and have a clear view to the truth and what must be done. We ask for blessing on those families that are missing. They're loved ones tonight and fathers and mothers that left for work this morning and didn't come back.

May they have your peace and comfort in their lives as well. And we say these things ever so humbling the name of our brother Jesus Christ. Amen. I listened to that early early this morning and I thought, look how desperate. It was such a desperate prayer but that's how we felt that morning. We didn't know who hit us yet. We had no idea. We didn't know why they hit us. It completely came out of the blue. It's like walking down the street and then somebody just coming up and just punching you in the face. You're like, what? What? What just happened? George Bush was still at an Air Force base. Dick Cheney was our vice president was underground in the White House.

The White House had been evacuated. We were desperate. I wanted to play that because I listened to that. I thought that's exactly how I still feel today. Except we've made so many mistakes now. It's amazing. We know who did this and we will not admit it. We see what's happening in Europe and city after city. We see what's happening in Spain. We see what's happening in Germany. We see what's happening in our own cities. Our own cities here in America and we won't say anything. Screw your courage to the sticking place.

Stand up. Teach your children today. You're not going to be able to get any movies on this. You're not going to be able, you know, ABC made this great movie on it. Showed what actually happened. They can't find it. You can't find it on demand. You can't buy it. You can't watch it. It's erased. You know why you never see the World Trade Center on TV? Because all of the networks have locked that footage up and you can only play it on 9-11. Maybe it's time we start telling ourselves the truth. We are facing evil. We faced it then 25 years later. We're helping it. More in just a second. You can't guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen. Nobody can. What you can do is take reasonable steps before something happens. So if it does, you're not starting from zero. That's true. You know, a lot of areas of our life, certainly true when it comes to protecting

your home and your family. And it's why I like simply safe. Simply safe will give you professional security without turning your home into some massive installation project.

And next, we say never forget, but have we? More with Glen. Next. I have to tell you, I just Jason who is a former marine intelligence. He was in Australia when we were hit on 9-11 and he just told one of the more compelling stories I have heard about what it was like to be, he was part of the first conventional ground forces that came in a sure in Afghanistan and began to fight. And he spoke about how it became real when the marine kernel said,

we don't have enough body bags. His story is compelling. I make sure it's posted, but you can hear it if you're a Glenbeck insider and a member of torch Glenbeck.com slash torts. You're missing a lot in the in the breaks, but we'll make sure that that's shared far and wide because it's remarkable. I was in Tampa and two days after 9-11, the president of the time of I Heart Radio, was I think clear channel at the time, called me and said, why aren't you on the air on the network? I'm like, my response was that's your decision. And he said, you need to be on the network. Friday will be your first day and that call came, it may have come on Thursday. And so I went

live for the first time on the network on Friday, wildly unqualified. And then a few days later, the first time the airports opened, I flew to New York and I flew I think on the first plane from Tampa to New York. It was my wife and I. It was for a very long time. My wife and I, we were never separated from each other. And we do it now again. It was only a children, but we travel as a pack. And there are four of us on the plane, sorry, five of us on the plane, not counting the stewardesses. So we're on this big huge plane. We're flying to New York City, and it's at night. And, um, might me, my wife, two other guys, sorry, three other guys.

And we're all scattered around the plane. You know, it's like you're in, you're in row 41, you're in row five, you're in row 20. And so it's just a giant airplane that is empty. And we're flying into New York. And you know, this is the first day that planes are flying with armored doors. Um, we fly into New York and the entire city is dark. They turn off all the lights on all the skyscraper city. We want any more targets. And the only light was the pit. Because they were working 24 hours a day to try to find bodies and still hoping they would find somebody alive. And people were volunteering their time. And the next morning,

the next morning, my wife and I got up and we were allowed into the pit at ground zero. And it was the most surreal thing I've ever seen. It was the first time I ever saw machine guns on the streets of New York. It's the first time I saw a tank in the streets of America. Not an operate with people with machine guns standing on top of the tank. You couldn't get down to lower Manhattan. They had firemen and police officers and army almost like a human chain all the way across the island. You had to have special permission to get down to that part of the island. And we walked through and it was a ghost town. It was almost anybody ever see the original movie Omega Man with Charlton Heston. And he's driving through Los Angeles. I think I am legend is a remake of

Omega Man. And he's this one guy who's pretty alone. And he's driving down the highways of Los Angeles. And there's no one on the highway. There's no one on the streets. And I remember the opening scene has his car when I was big old 1970s cars driving down the freeway. And there's nobody on the freeway and he takes an exit. And there's nobody on the roads and all the stores are closed. And there's just it's him. And he parks his car in the middle of the street and he goes into a store and it's just him and the mannequins. And it's just this eerie thing. That's the way it was in Lower Manhattan. If you go to the 9-11 museum now, ground zero, they have a storefront. And Tony and I we were just there earlier this year for the first time. And Tony and I looked at it and I mean we just both burst in a tears because I remember walking by that storefront.

And they have reproduced it. I don't know how they did it. It's exactly the way it was. And it was just a cheap like gift shop store. But the glass had been blown out in the front. And all the I love New York t-shirts and everything covered in it was almost like fur. It was this ash but it was it was the ash of a building that had just been that pulverized. And it was everywhere. And then we got to World Trade Center 7. That was the third building. That's the one with all the controversy. That's the one that collapsed it like I don't remember 538 or something like that. And it was still smoking. And there was still smoke coming out of the pit.

And I stood there with my wife and we just looked at all these people that were working in these food trucks that had come from all over the country from Washington State, California and Texas, New Orleans, all over the country. They had just gotten into their cars and their trucks. They had brought their food trucks. They're like, we're going to feed those who are looking for bodies. For almost 10 years, when I would think of that scene, I could smell it. I couldn't, I didn't think it would ever leave me. I could smell it. It smelled like, you know how people say

they can, you need taste blood, it tastes like a penny, it tastes like metal. That's what it smelled like. I hated it. What a blessing from God. I think about these things now and it can't smell it. But we laughed, feeling so small and insignificant. And we got to the human chain gate again. And my producer was waiting for me and he's like, you gotta get in the car. We have 10 minutes before the show. And I'm like, oh my gosh. And I remember driving to the studio going,

I can't process this. I don't know what to say. And I got into the studio and the theme song started and my wife was right behind me. She was praying and I had my headphones on and I leaned my head against the wall. I kept pounding my head against the wall and I'm like, Lord. I don't know what to say. I can't process this. And I helped up the mic. I said, from New York City, where I just came from Ground Zero, and I haven't had a second to think about it. I don't even know where to begin. And I looked down on my desk that I had borrowed to do the show from somebody else's studio. And my wife, who is so much

better than I am, had brought a hymnal. And I picked it up. And I read the words of one of my favorite hymns. And it gave me the words to describe what I had just seen. And incredible, incredible sense of peace and hope. Let me take a break. I want to find those words and share them. Next.

You know, one of the things that happened on September 11th, when we learned about this, we all tried to call a love one. And I don't know if anybody's ever heard this before. But when you call after a national tragedy, the phone, the circuits are busy. And it'll go, I'm sorry, all circuits are busy. Everyone's on the phone trying to call their loved ones. Everyone was trying to call. Are you okay? No matter where we were. And even if you weren't anywhere close to any of the planes or anything else, everyone was calling. Everyone you know. Are you okay? And you couldn't, you couldn't reach anybody because the circuits were busy. And you had to keep calling and keep calling and keep calling. I'm going to tell you this today about rapid radios, because I remember what that was like. It couldn't get a hold of anyone.

Cellular networks, they handle calls differently and data differently. And during a major emergency, the voice side is just congested with an enormous surge of people trying to call their loved ones. And also all of the fire and rescue. Rapid radios don't operate like a traditional cell phone call. They're pushed to talk radios and communicate over nationwide, LTE, data networks. And that distinction matters because in an emergency communication, it doesn't begin and end with the same device. Everybody is reaching for rapid radios or turnkey right out of the box. And if you need to know that somebody across the country is okay, what family member, your child who's in college, you push that button and there is no such thing as circuits busy. Rapidradios.com.

Never forget. How about never cover up? How about never lie about it? How about how about taking your your I'm going to be really kind? Your rose colored glasses off and look at the thing because it's it's currently got its hands around your

neck as a Western culture and it's choking you to death. It's easy to get angry as I'm angry very no. It's easy to get angry and it's easy to get sad and it's easy to be overwhelmed and that's what I was feeling when I came out of the pit in New York City and had to go right on the air and I had no words no words and I'm praying right before help me. These are the words that came and it's from a pioneer song. Come come you saints no toil nor labor fear but with joy when you're way. The hard to you this journey may appear grace shall be as your day. It is better for us to strive our useless cares for us to drive do this and your hearts will swell. Why should we mourn or think

our lot is hard it's not so all is right. Why should we think we could earn a great reward if we now shun the fight. Gird up your loins fresh courage take. God will never us forsake and soon we'll have this tale to tell at all as well. And should we die before our journey is through happy day all as well will then be free from toil and sorrow too and with the just we shall dwell. But if our lives are spared again to see the saints their rest obtained. Oh. Oh how will make this chorus swell. All is well.

To phrase in our family when things are going tough. That's good. Hard times make us. If we don't allow ourselves to become hard. All is well. All is well. I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can actually read the news but we're definitely there and I see a story and I think okay but what actually happened not what does the left say what happened not what does the right say but what actually happened what do we actually know this has been so frustrating and that's how I ended up using

free spoke you can see the coverage from the left the right and the middle and where the same facts start showing up across all three then you know okay that's that's it you got something solid you can decide for yourself at that point based on the facts and that's the point search something controversial like who controls the media on free spoke you'll get news and information from across the spectrum full picture not just what the algorithm says you want to see I don't need somebody else deciding what I'm supposed to think I will find the facts and I will decide I've got free spoke pulled up right now free spoke one word free free speech free spoke my bab Judy

spoke pane her name her um i The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. 25 years. 25 years today. America was under attack in the World Trade Center. And we say to each other, never forget, never forget. Never forget. How stupid is that? Never forget. How about do this? How about do this? Because it's too late to never forget.

How about this? Remember. Go and do research and search for the honest truth. And then when you find it, teach it. Because no one remembers it. Because we haven't taught it. Only those who lived through it. Know. And even some of them are now fuzzy on who the bad guys were. Do you know there is, there are, they are starting to teach and have been teaching in some states. They're teaching that we don't really know who the bad guys were. What are you talking about? They were Muslim terrorists. And the UN says that 15% of all Muslims, 15% so am I condemning a whole religion? No, I'm saying 15% are extremists that are terrorists. They agree with these things. 15% this is the United Nations saying that. That's 1.4 billion, I'm sorry, it's 140 million out of the 1.4 billion.

It's between 1.5 and 200 million people. That's an army gang. Strangers, look it up in the book of Revelation. That is quite an army. I think that number has actually been written down someplace. That's a very dangerous army. And honestly, if my faith, if 15, 10 or 15% of my faith were saying yes, we got to kill everybody that's not our faith, would you have a problem with my faith? Because I would, I would be like that's a dangerous religion. If they're not rooting that out, if they're not on the front lines, saying we have this 15% and they're coming into our churches, we don't want them to get out of our churches. You're not part of us, get away from us. We're leading and assisting all of us.

I would say there's a problem with the church. Now that's politically incorrect, I can't say that to you about Islam. Oh, I just did. It's time to speak the truth. What has come to me in this 25 year anniversary, this is why it's so important, is anniversaries are just a signpost. It's a mile marker where you go, oh my gosh. I remember when I loved you and married you on the first day, do I feel the same way and if not, what am I going to do about it? But am I going to do about that? I should love you more today than the day I married you. We should have more information than we did on 9-11. I don't think we do. Our kids don't know. Take this anniversary and dedicate yourself to the truth and finding the truth. And we begin there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about a friend factor.

You know when you bring your dog into your family, you're making a commitment. You know something he doesn't, that this is going to be a great home. And it's going to be the home for the rest of his life. And you're going to feed him and protect him and take care of him when he's sick. He's going to need more from you than he did when he was young. As dogs get older, you want him to keep moving and stay active, or at least as long as possible. And it's just heartbreaking when your dog hurts so much, they can't walk up the stairs. It just hurts so much. And you want to give them the relief that you would like. You know? And that's why the makers of relief factor created friend factor. Friend factor is a daily supplement that is specifically designed for dogs to support their healthy mobility, the healthy inflammation and inflammatory responses.

We're making a term tonight. We just lost the target on that aircraft. Man, Z152. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire. Oh my goodness. Seriously, the title of the building. We're trying to get information. The world's never going to be a news to unfold from New York. Okay. I'm just a little bit confused. Okay. And I hope she's okay. I got a run to New York. Oh my gosh. First of all, calm down. There's raining, papers, and issues. Look, guys. It is good. People have come to talk.

That means you really hurt from God. People are jumping out the window. I don't have the window on them. A second plan is now flown in. We're in the roof. We've closed it to Pan quiet. And outside of plan I don't have words to describe what I'm wearing. Effect immediately until further notice. Flight operations in the National Airspace System, my United States Civil Aircraft, and Horn, Civil and Military Aircraft, are prohibited. Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward. Out and freedom will be defended. Trade towers, as it collapses and falls. Oh my god, dude! Let's go! Let's go!

I do not see anything like this. I've got a fire field. We got a ram in the full of cops and a pedestrian. I'm not gonna tell you just who you are. Get the sea out! I'm gonna tell you! We're gonna come to the way from the building. We're gonna get out of here. We're gonna come to the building. Where are you? Where are you? We're not gonna be stuck. We're not gonna be in the chair. We're not gonna stay in the room. We're not gonna be in the right place. We're gonna let you go. This is America. All of us. All gotta stick together.

Oh my god, look at this skyline without the towers. It is Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. This is Glenback. Dateline, New York. And one of the most adacious attacks ever. Terrorist hijacked two airliners. Crash them into the World Trade Center. In a coordinated series of blows today that brought down the twin 110 story towers. Thousands may be dead. 58,000 people. Work at the World Trade Center. I just want to let you know I love you. I'm so excited, selfie. I'm just building a front one out there. The three-shot is my condition. I wanted you to know. I'm gonna let people play. I'm gonna let you know. I'm gonna let you know.

One plane, United Flight 93. Crashed north of Somerset County Airport. A small airport 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. United said that flight. Boeing 757. Left New York, it hit on one. I need three satellites as well. It's just a dull day. We'll dissolve. We will not turn. It is as old as the script is. We will not falter. And is as clear. And we will not face as the American custard to me. That is it. The news of this day. September 11th, 2001. United. UnitedDaketrey. United. UnitedDaketrey's wait up. United.

UnitedDaketrey has his new owner. United. UnitedDostatit. UnitedDaketrey. I hear that and I live through it. Perhaps you did and so you remember. It tears your heart out. So many of our fellow Americans don't remember. They haven't been taught. But as I watched some of that footage and I listened to the voices, we were in it together.

Our kids think of the world our kids have grown up in. Our kids have never known. They were never innocent. Like we were then. We really didn't know who was attacking us. We didn't know why. Why would they do this to us? And we have searched for answers. And many of us have taken an honest inventory of ourselves and of our country and of our history. Is America a good place? Yeah, sometimes. Is America a bad place?

Yeah, sometimes. Have we done bad things? Oh, we've done horrific things. Have we done good things? We've done glorious things. But it is up to us each and every day to choose what are we going to be? We've had problems then. Corruption, racism, all the things that man has fought with. Why did we have those problems? Because we're human. We're human. And we're on this journey together trying to be better every day.

And sometimes it takes events like 9-11 to wake us up. Can we be better than we were yesterday? Yes, the answer is we must be better than we were. But we also must have forgiveness. You know, I used to weep. I mean, I haven't listened to that for a while. And when those voices were first played on my show, I wept for the loss of life. Today, I find myself 25 years later weeping for the loss of innocence. We trusted each other.

We disagreed on so much. And when we'd duke it out, but we're all still Americans. It's the loss of innocence. It's the loss of belief in goodness. It's the loss that tomorrow will be better. It's the loss of America is a good place with problems and screwed up, but we're a family. And we'll figure it out. We have to remember all kinds of things. But even if we remember who our enemy is, who did this to us, what they're still doing, how we're lying to ourselves,

we're crippling our children with lies. None of that matters in the end. None of that will change anything. Unless we can change one thing. I beg you. Love. Love one another. We may not like each other. We may not agree with each other, but we must love one another. Because without that, it doesn't matter anyway. More in a minute.

Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Your house is a financial asset. It has a price, it has a mortgage property taxes, square footage, all of those things matter. But that's not why people get emotional when they hand the keys to their house over. That they've lived in for over 30 years. It's not why young couple remembers the first night they spend in their home. Yeah, a house is an asset. Your home is part of your life. But it's also a massive memory. All the good times, all the trouble, but everything that transpired under that roof. That's why I started real estate agents I trust. Because when you're making a decision, you want to make sure you have somebody there that really knows what they're doing because the house means something different to you.

I'm going to come back to what happened in Utah last night. Because what happened in Utah last night was an explosion of joy. It was really an amazing, amazing experience. I'm going to give you some news today. It was an explosion of joy. It was really an amazing, an amazing time. I urge you to go to glimbeck.com and watch my speech that I gave for TPUSA yesterday.

I prayed so hard on that to make sure that it had joy. And something remarkable happened. And you can find it at glimbeck.com. I'm going to talk to Charlie's pastor and good friend here in just a second about making sense out of today's world. But I also need to tell you that interest rates are probably going to come up. And gas prices are probably going to go up. The hoothies are taking another straight. And price of oil is at $99 or $107.104. Something like that. It's over $100 today. It's gone up another $45 today. And I just need you to understand. You get to $130 a barrel.

We could be headed for 2008. And it's not good. I want you to be prepared. All right. Patriot mobile. Patriotism isn't, you know, believing your country is perfect. America has never been perfect. We strive to make a more perfect nation. Patriism is believing that there are two things worth preserving. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Oh, and then I guess there's more. The right to raise your family according to your faith and your conscience. The right to be an individual. The right to to live your life without constantly being assaulted by a government. Every generation has to decide what's worth defending. And it's one of the reasons why I talk about Patriot mobile. Because they're America's Christian only. Christian conservative wireless providers. And they've donated millions and millions of dollars. And their own man hours. Defending faith and family and freedom.

And they've built a wireless service that can actually compete. I mean, it doesn't get you get the premium service. All three major networks. Okay. You can keep your phone number. Keep your phone.

The historic broadcast of the Glenn Beck program from 9-11 is available now at Glenn Beck.com. So you never forget. You know, we traded our... We traded our...

We've traded our country. We have betrayed our country. We have betrayed our country. We have betrayed our values, our history, our principles, our grandparents. Everything that anyone ever thought and died for in this country. They didn't fight and die for corruption and government or giant corporations. They all fought and died for an idea. An idea that was bigger and better than all of us. And honestly, the best idea ever to be uttered by a group of people putting together a country. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. No one else has a better system that is striving for a better idea than that. And if you can show me one, I will renounce my citizenship and join the next one. I cannot think of a higher ideal than what we are supposed to be striving for.

But we've sold out. We've... We've let our educate. We can't tell you who even flew... Do you know why Iran is so important? Yeah, because they're going to have a nuke. Okay. All right. Well, then we can argue about the nukes. Well, they may not have a nuke. Did they even have a nuke? All of that crap that we've been hearing forever. Okay. I'm not going to give you that argument. Well, it's the oil. We need to have the oil. What a ridiculous... We're going to die? We're going to die for oil? When we have this much oil? What a ridiculous... If that's true, we got bigger problems. That's not why we're doing it. You know why we're doing it? Because there's some human beings that are still awake enough to realize that it's the same. That it's the same damn crazy ideology. It's the same crazy theology in Iran that flew those planes into the buildings. It's the same evil.

Now, are we going to man up and say, Enough! Look at what's happening to Europe. Look what's happening here in the country. I want to introduce you to Danny Burmawi. He's at ground zero right now. I read a story about his organization that PR wire would not release... All PR wire is, is they just do press releases. That's what they do. You have a company you want to release something. They wouldn't release this because it's insensitive. He is the founder and CEO of the Ideological Defense Institute. All he's doing is saying, Hey, maybe we should defend our Judeo-Christian principles in this country. Now, the reason why I wanted him on today is a story broke just a few minutes ago or a few hours ago. But more importantly, he's a former Muslim who, when 9-11 happened, cheered.

As those towers came down, called American infidels. He is the guy now leading this organization, saying, Wake up, America, because he woke up. Danny or a brave man, welcome to the program. Glenn, it's an honor to be with you. Thank you so much and thank you for what you just said. Yes, it is the same theology that is still alive today. And not only in Iran, but actually infiltrating the United States of America, gaining power positions. It is the same ideology that hit New York 9-11. It is the same ideology that attacked on October 7. It is the same ideology that erased civilizations. That civilization of my ancestors. For 14th century, it is the same ideology. And today, a Muslim mayor in New York City is going to try to make Americans remember something else. Something else, not the ideology that was behind 9-11.

So thank you so much. Tell me, tell me first of all, when 9-11 happened, you cheered? Oh yeah, I was 15 years old at the time, but I mean, it doesn't matter if you're 6 or 60. When you learn, when you grow up inside an environment that teaches you that the other is Enfidel. And Enfidel is a word that was used for 14th century since the inception of Islam to describe everyone, every single person who doesn't belong to this ideology that is falsely called religion. And Enfidel's were being struck on 9-11. So we cheered, we said, allow Akbar. And I looked at that men next to me, everyone was happy. They were saying God is punishing America. So that happened to me 25 years ago, just like today.

And what made you change? What made you change so hard that you're now warning America? And honestly, you are a very brave man. You know how this could end for you easily. What made you change? Well, basically I converted to Christianity. So I met Christ. I came to know Christ. And I realized that I was living inside a bubble that shaped my word of you. And that word of you was distorted. And when I converted to Christianity, it was inevitable that I changed how I sort of west, how I saw Israel. But let me tell you this, the wasn't civilization, which was the biblical foundations that were second-erased and globalized. It's what gave the word to date everything good at it. Even the Islamic countries that, for example, signed the human rights declaration, human rights declaration is against Islam.

Islam is against human rights declaration because in Islam, you don't have an intrinsic value. Your value is determined by your religious affiliation. So instead of thinking that was civilization, the Judeo-Christian civilization, they are trying to replace it, replace it with what? This is what Abdul Sayed, he said that, you know, Sharia has like that canonical law, kind of law and Christianity. That is not true. Sharia is a political system. It governs everything. How you live as a citizen and how you fast and how you pray. So anyway, I converted Christianity, my worldview changed, and then I came to America after being a missionary in the Middle East for 15 years. And October 7 happened a couple months later. And oh my goodness, what I witnessed on the streets of the West, the rebranding of Islamic jihad, trying to paint it as liberation movements, resistance to occupation,

response to imperialism like Mamdanis' own father, Sadid, in his book. What? No, this is not a response to imperialism. 9-11 was not a response to American oppression. It was jihad against the West. And I'm sorry, Glenn, I cannot stand the useful idiots. Many people who still believe that 9-11 was a false flag operation. It was inside job. Are you kidding me? Just watch the interviews that used to be food for example, an Egyptian journalist with a Jazeera conducted in Afghanistan with Al-Qaeda member who talked in details about how they planned it. Are you kidding me, your saying Israel or America did that? No, it was Islamic jihad. So what's your organization doing now that PR wire found so outrageous that they just, oh my gosh, we are so high in mighty. We just can't promote your company. What are you trying to do?

So, Verbatim, they said words like infidels and jihad are discriminatory toward Islam. Do you know where we got the word jihad and the word infidel from? From the Quran. It's mentioned in the Quran 200 times the word infidel, the word jihad. Are they kidding me? What is infimation about infidel and jihad from our perspective as non-movements? We should be offended. They are afraid that the word are going to offend the Muslims. No, so what we are trying to do, as you mentioned, I am the founder of the ideological defense institute. I created this organization to fill a vacuum in DC to fill a gap. After everybody went politically correct, no one wants to talk about the truth. Everybody is trying, they are jeopardizing the safety, the future of the sensibilization. So I brought together a group of infidels. All of us are former Muslims or Arab Christians trying to educate policymakers, the church and the public about the ideological threats facing the West.

But this month between 9 and 11 and October 7, we are launching the infidel awareness month in partnership with a coalition of infidels. And we were actually language was very soft. We say this has nothing to do with Muslims. We need to distinguish between Muslims and Islam. Because do you know who benefit from conflating Islam and Muslims? Islam itself. Because as long as you are attaching Muslims and Islam together, the moment you criticize Islam, Muslims call you a Zammafo, not only Muslims, these are for the these two. And we end up with Islam being protected shielded from scrutiny. So we need to separate both of them. We are talking about an ideology. Muslims who don't, who claim that they don't believe in this ideology that we are addressing, they shouldn't be offended. Okay, we are attacking the ideology of fighting the infidels until they are subjugated. If you're a Muslim and you're offended, then probably you should be offended because I don't care.

But if you say no, this is not Islam, I don't care. I don't care what you think is on as I know what is on as from the Quran, from the text. This is not a French interpretation. This is the mainstream Islam. So basically we are trying to help Americans remember. We want to honor the victims of jihad. Not only on 9-11 or October 7, not only 60,000 attacks, Islamic terrorist attacks in the past few decades, but all the two out the 14th century of Islamic history, 80 million were murdered in the India alone because of Islamic conquest. We're talking about tens and tens of millions of people who are massacred all throughout civilizations and geography because of this ideology and they want to silence us. I'm a former Muslim. I'm not gonna be silenced. Danny, I believe that my whole life has been leading to two things. That my whole life, that I was, I guess, I don't know. This came to me in prayer a few about, I know, eight months ago.

So maybe a year and I realized this, I mean, prayer, I heard it. This is why you were born and it's to stand against anti-Semitism and more importantly, stand for the Jewish people. Never again. Are we going to chase a group of people and make them hide in people's houses because other crazies want to exterminate them because they believe in the God of God. I don't know if Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, no. The other is to stand against. Sri Ala, anyone, anyone who is trying to pull the wool over people's eyes to say, you know what? This isn't really that bad. Yes, it is. This is an invasion. They have already taken some, some of our biggest and greatest cities. This happening in New York is an abomination, especially today on the anniversary. If I would have said, you know, 25 years ago, hey, don't worry. You're going to have a Muslim mayor that has actually sided with the terrorists. I would have been called a madman gang. It's here. It's happening. So, Danny, I'd like to, I'm going to have somebody on my staff reach out to you.

I want to find, I want to hear about these speakers because I, you know, I, I mean, I just heard about you today. So I want to check everything out. I was trying to get in touch with you because Glenn, you're one of the heroes, the few heroes who are fighting against this. And please, let me take a breath here and speak calmly because I know that many people who hear us today, they would say, oh, this is like their Zionist, their defending Israel, this and that. Let me kill you this. I drew a paving Israel, hating Jews. What happened? What changed me? Is it money? Now you just saved that it's not safe for me to walk the streets of New York because if somebody recognizes me, maybe I will be jumped, maybe I'll be killed. So money is not worth it. So why I am doing this because anti-Semitism today is not only anti-Semitism. It is anti-Semitism and anti-Wisternism. It's against that greatest civilization in human history. And when they say Sharia is not dangerous, Congresswoman Jopalaya or Jalaya Pa, I don't know what her name is, she invited or, yeah, she invited a white liberal woman to the Congressional hearing a few months ago and asked her if Sharia is dangerous.

A white liberal woman who has no idea what Sharia is, who could probably be enslaved as a sixth slave under Sharia. She said, no, no, it's just like Christian teachings that is false. Danny, I'm sorry, I'm up against a network break. I want to have you on again. I want to have somebody from my office reach out and talk to you. And we will join you on your month long awakening of America because you're timing. You are, you're right on time, but we're almost out of time. Thank you. Let me tell you quickly about relief factor. A big believe in questioning your own assumptions, every human being, good at convincing ourselves of things. You try something you feel better than you start wondering, was that really that or is it something else? This is the way it happens, the way it happened with me. I want you to try relief factor. I started taking it after my wife suggested I take it and I didn't think it would work. It did. And then I stopped taking it because I'm stupid. And I'm like, that's just me feeling better.

And then it wasn't. It's relief factor. It's designed to help get you out of pain. I want you to try it for three weeks. It doesn't work for everybody, but you'll know in three weeks. That's why they offer the three week quick start. 800, the number four relief, 804 relief relief factor dot com. Oh my gosh, the New York Times is talking about how Mamdani is facing Islamophobia. Islamophobia. Do not allow anybody to call you Islamophobic. And phobia means you have an irrational fear of something. It is not irrational to fear Sharia law. It is not. It is perfectly logical. Look at Lebanon. Look at Iran. Look at any country where Sharia law has crept in.

No, it's not irrational. He's not facing Islamophobia. The New York Times and everybody else are running front organizations. They are enemies of freedom at this point. It's hard to believe. Pass it on. It's hard to believe. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello America. I want to get right to things today. We've got you know an hour left. I've got to tell you what's going on with the hoodies tonight. I can't believe I'm saying this. We got to get to the hoodies. Why can't we not wipe the hoodies of the face of the earth? I mean, honestly, they are now they have taken over another straight oil is up today, whereas high is a hundred and seven dollars per barrel. If you get into 120 to 130, a sustained 130 and I mean sustained for a couple of weeks, you could see global collapse and depression. We are entering a very, very dangerous stage. We got to talk about that before we leave today. Also the inflation numbers are out. It's not good. I would guess that the Fed is going to raise the interest rate. I haven't had a chance to even mention the Charlie Kirk thing that I was in last night and I have Frank Turk with me. He was with me at Charlie Kirk. This is Charlie's pastor and good dear friend. He was with him, you know, as they took him out. But I don't want to spend time talking about that. He's got a book I called The War on Reality. And that is what we're dealing with with 9-11. What is this about? It's a war on reality. Here's the reality. These guys are trying to kill us. And they come from one faith and that doesn't mean everybody in that faith.

But it means there's a good portion of that faith. Even if it's 10 percent, UN says it's 15 percent. That's over 100 million people that because you're an infidel want to kill you. What is the war on reality and how do we fight that? Frank joins me in 60 seconds first. Let me tell you about chapter. You know sometimes more choices aren't always helpful. Have you ever been to Cheesecake Factory? I mean, I can't decide because everything is there. It's good. And it's like it's like I'm it's like I'm reading Les Misorob when you give you the main. It's like, okay, can it be less than a thousand pages? So sometimes, you know, you need less information. Well, with Medicare, that's a perfect example. You have plan after plan after plan. Each have different premiums, benefit, doctors, networks, prescription coverage. You still have no idea which actually which one makes sense for you. And then there's for the people that are going to help you. You know, it's like the waitress comes to the table and you're like, which do you recommend? Well, if she's being paid to say, oh, it's the, you know, it's the P Cheesecake, which sounds horrible. But she's like, oh, it is the best thing ever. And you don't know she's being paid for it. Don't take her advice. And that's what happens when somebody is advising you on Medicare.

And then you know, if you're a Medicare, chapter doesn't do that. And they're the only ones that can look at everything. And then make it all make sense to you after they found out who you are, what your conditions are, your prescriptions, your doctors and everything else. So just go to chapter. I want you to go to chapter right now. You have to do is hit pound 250 say the key word chapter pound 250 key word chapter. Let them help you. So you're good to see you last night. How are you my friend? It was great seeing you, Glenn. And you nailed it last night in your speech when you were talking about the collective. How Marxism is all about the group, whereas Christianity is all about the individual. That's where the war on reality. That's, that's the focus of the war on reality right now. In my view, is that they want people to identify everybody by an identity group. You in. And if you're part of that collective, you're oppressed. And if you're not, you're automatically an oppressor. So you, when you mentioned that last night, I said, Glenn already knows what we're talking about in the war on reality. That's exactly what's going on. We're not judging people individually anymore. Yes.

We're judging people by what even non-behavioral identity groups that they're in. Oh, you're white, Glenn. You're a bad guy. Oh, you're a man. You're a heterosexual. You're a citizen of the US. You're a Christian. Glenn. You're an oppressor. But if you have the opposite qualities, you're automatically oppressed. Frank, that's why I, you know, I truly believe I said this last night. It's the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You must destroy that God because that's the personal God. That's the first personal and the only personal God, the one true God. And so all of this, this is why people hate Jews. And why they're trying to get Christians to say, you know, I don't know. We don't need to remember that Jesus was a Jew. Because if you can get yourself away from the old testament, now you don't have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob anymore and all that falls apart. You must have that. That's why there's this war. Everything boils down to that. The God of the individual. Yes. And it's also why Marxism dispenses with the individual because they think the state is eternal. Whereas we Christians know the state is an eternal. It's individuals that are eternal. And they're going to be judged individually. As you mentioned last night. And friends, you got to go see what would gland a bunch of us spoke last night at the memorial. It's at the TPUSA YouTube channel.

So where do you want to start on this? Frank, I'd love to have you back because I'm so rushed today. I want to have you back so we can go deeper into this. But what do you think of those is the most important message on 9-11 and, you know, the day after we remember Charlie Kirk being assassinated? What is what is what is the most important thing you can pull from the book? Well, why why don't we just start with with Charlie? Jesus said that Satan is a murderer who is a liar, a cuser and a slanderer who seeks to steal, kill and destroy. Now, Glenn, last year we had a murder. What have we had since then? Lies accusations and slander seeking to steal, kill and destroy and people don't believe in the demonic. I don't know how it can be more obvious. I know, I know. You know, I mean, and why Jews? I mean, you brought this up last night. You kind of brought it up in a funny way when you were saying you're talking about 9-11. You're talking about Charlie. And then suddenly you said, and somehow this all is the fault of the Jews.

God's how can that be because this these are the people through whom God used to bring salvation? That's why because they were chosen to bring salvation to the world as Jesus said salvation comes from the Jews. Glenn, there are only 15.5 million Jews in the entire world. On one hand, the people going after them say they're ruling the world. They're ruling the world. Then why are they the most persecuted minority out there? It's absolutely no sense. And I love the people who say Christians are now saying, you know, why are we saying they're the chosen people? Like they're better than us. Do you want to be one of God's chosen people? Do you see what's happening over and over again to the Jews? The Jews are like, can you stop choosing us? Can you choose somebody else occasionally? It's not an honor. It's not like, degust where the chosen people... They don't want it. They don't want it. They do it because it is who they are because God said that's who they are.

And the only thing that that means is you're the ones to make sure the people understand the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the individual. Yes. And I don't know if you saw this this morning, but there is a story out there that there's a school district in Virginia that wants to erase any connection to Islam with the 9-11 attacks. This is a war on reality, Glenn. This is a war on history. In fact, there was an old saying in the Soviet Union. We have it in the book that says, the future is known, the past is always changing. Why? Because if you can get people to believe false things about history, you can control what they're going to believe and do in the future. If we're going to try and get people to say that Islam had nothing to do with 9-11, it's a religion of peace, then we can just open up our borders and say there's no problem here. But obviously there is. There's only 1,400 years of history on this, Glenn. You know, 50 plus Muslim countries don't have the freedoms we have in America, but somehow we're called Islamophobic, which is a bogus term because Islam is not a race. It's an ideology.

And you ought to be concerned about an ideology that wants to take away your freedoms and has done so in every government for 1,400 years in which they became a majority. So, you know, I got to tell you because your book is titled perfectly, the war on reality, because it is a war on reality. The reality is these are the guys that took down the World Trade Center. These are the same people that are sending all young 20-something men into countries. I didn't notice all the families that are crapping on the beaches in Spain. I don't see all of the wonderful families that are coming into all of these countries. And honestly, it's only a matter of time before they take over. And nobody seemed, it's a complete detachment from reality. How do we get back? Well, I was just in the UK just a month ago and it's the nicest Muslim country I've been to. I mean, just about every four people I saw on the street in London was a Muslim.

The way we get back is we get back to saying that we're more concerned about our kids and grandkids' future than we are about being called a bad name. Okay, so if you want to smear us as Islamophobic, which is again a bogus term, fine, go ahead. I'm going to do what's right under God and I'm going to do what's right for my kids and grandkids because we only have 1400 years of history that shows us that whenever Islam takes over all the freedoms we enjoy essentially go away. You don't even have the freedom to preach and live the gospel. You can't have the Glenn Beck show in Iran. You can't have any Saudi Arabia. You know, I mean, come on people wake up. So let me ask you, how can you, what, or do you have, I'm sure you do in the book, you tell me about the tools that you can equip people with so they can detect. Oh, part of the war on reality. Okay, one tool is the law of non-contradiction. We don't teach kids logic anymore. Instead of teaching kids how to think we're teaching them what to feel.

Now, that can be very dangerous because if you follow your feelings without reason or moral restraint, you're going to wind up in a very dark place. So here is one tactic we have when people say things like, I mean, the whole war on reality is built on postmodernism, the idea that there is no truth. So when someone says there is no truth, we simply ask them, is that true? Is it true that there is no truth? Because the claim there is no truth claims to be true at the same time it claims there is no truth. I can't speak a word in English, Glenn. It's gobbling book. So we're teaching people logic in this book. Frank, was that the first time you were back at UVU? No, I came back, I came back in March to speak to the students. So what was that six months after Charlie was murdered? Because we felt like we wanted to reclaim that campus. We wouldn't let a gunshot be the last word as Andrew Cipher said last night. So we went back and I know your son goes there, doesn't he?

Yeah. Yeah. And you know, it's an interesting place. They have a new president of the university. I met him in his family last night. I get to. I thought he was a wonderful guy. I don't know that he agrees with everything that everybody says. He was the guy who got that thing rolling because at first they weren't going to do anything. And he was in an absolute loose, loose situation. But I thought he was a university president that seemed to not have a war on reality. Well put, I had about a three minute conversation with he and his wife and they were very complimentary. So yeah, I thanked him for allowing us to have the event there last night. And I still like you. I can't believe it's been a year on the other hand. It's been the longest year in my life. Right. It's crazy. I mean, it's almost like it's almost like time has just changed.

Like it doesn't have any relation at all anymore. And I don't know if that's because I'm getting older or if this is happening to everybody no matter what age because we're living in such a different time so much as being consumed every day. It seems like it was just yesterday. And yet it seems like I've lived five lifetime since then. It's bizarre. It is. And the only the only saving grace to any of this clan is that there is an eternity. And of course if there isn't, if there's no God and no afterlife, nothing ultimately matters. It doesn't matter if you live as a missionary or a murderer. If there's no God because ultimately we're all going to wind up in the same place. There's no where. But there's evidence as I spoke about as you spoke about last night that the resurrection is true that Jesus really did come to save us and by trusting in him. We're forgiven and given his righteousness. And Charlie right now is with the Lord. The killer did not end Charlie. All the killer did was change his address.

Frank, we'll have you on again. Thank you so much. God bless you. I need you to listen to Frank. Frank really was instrumental with Charlie and teaching a very, very wise man and a great teacher. And his book is The War on Reality. Pick it up because we have a problem. We have to be able to explain these things to our kids and our grandkids. We have to be able to understand it ourselves and anybody that can help you understand how to explain what's happening. Listen to them and Frank is one of those guys. The war on reality. You can get it wherever you get your books or online right now back in a minute. You know, when you look at an ultrasound, you're looking at something that is happening right now. A heart that is beating a child growing, but you're also looking at everything that hasn't happened yet.

The first steps, the first day of school, birthdays, Christmas mornings, friendships, try to skip over the adolescent years, then marriage in children of their own someday. The entire human life is right there in that heartbeat. Preborn supports pregnancy centers that provide free ultrasounds that, you know, for women who are facing unplanned pregnancies. They give them the opportunity to see your child and hear the heartbeat for yourself. And their work doesn't end with an ultrasound. These centers also provide compassionate counseling, practical support and help women choose life. And show them that, yeah, this is a great road right ahead of you and you're not alone. If you're a business owner, would you consider a larger donation to claim a write-off? A donation of a thousand, two thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand dollars actually buys the machine for a needy clinic. Help save. I mean, can you know, I mean, think of the blessings that our country will get if we start to really pitch in and help save all of the Lord's children.

All gifts or tax deductible will reach through the attorneys. Get involved today, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. Keyword baby, pound 250, sponsor by preborn, ten seconds station ID. Let me go to can one of our insiders been holding for a couple of hours. Can thank you very much. I mean, Glenn, greeting from the West Coast of the East Coast in North America. Are you in Tampa? Actually, I prayed in to I make the clock. I'm not just you enjoy. Yeah, that's great. That's great. I listen, I we were there together. You in the afternoon drive and me in my car. And I gotta tell you, you were the steady hand that afternoon, but more of the point when you talked about love earlier today and nine 12.

Nine 12. It's what changed. Red, black, yellow. It didn't matter. We all stood together. And that's why love is important because we were all Americans. The vengeance came later, but we were together. And we can't let that go. Can't. And you're part of that. So thank you. God bless you, Ken. Thank you. Thanks for being with me all these years. God bless you. David in Georgia. Hello, David. Hey, Glenn. How are you? I'm good. First of all, it is one of my two men. I'm 39 years old and I've been following you since I was 17. So it's been so huge days. It's had a huge impact on me. But my main point is, I don't know about you, but at least where I am, it says there's nothing ever happened. I might have happen dozens.

People in my circle that even realize those nine 11 today. And it's just I'm afraid that too many people have forgotten. And something bad could happen. I think before the end of the decade. Oh, that's a good. I hate to be the bearer of all of the black pills in the bottle, but that's a guarantee. If we don't wake up and even if we do, we have a lot. We've sown so many bad seeds right now and they're going to come to harvest. And we will be reaping what we sowed. And, but don't concentrate on that. Just concentrate on this. It is our job to save the Republic and to save man's soul. And we are, we are, as I said with Charlie's funeral, I mean, sorry, his memorial yesterday, the one year memorial.

There's a lot of joy in God is asking us to be a part of this. He doesn't need us. He's asking us. He's like, he's like looking at he's on the field. And the game is going on. He's looking at the field and he's looking you sitting on the bench and he's like, come on. Come on. He's like, come. Come on. Come on. This is going to be great. This could be fun. Let's go. The game is already one gang. Just come on. Get out on the field. That's what God is saying to us. And if we can understand that, we have great joy. If we forget that the game is already one. If we, if we lose faith in a God that knows and is not going to abandon. If we lose faith in that, that's, that is why, that is why evil needs you to not believe in God. This is why the left always destroys the churches and faith and they kill people of faith. Because you have something that others don't have and that is intrinsic hope.

Because your hope doesn't come from man. It comes from him. And one way or another knowing it's all going to work out. So yeah, there's a big huge bottle of black pills, but I ain't going to take him. I know what's coming, but it's going to be okay. We're going to be okay. I just want to be standing on the right side of the fence. One of the lessons September 11th that we should get is that the entire world can change between breakfast and lunch. You can wake up one ordinary morning with a completely ordinary boring plan for the day. And within a couple of hours, everything you thought you knew about that day, everything you thought you knew about the world can be completely different. This is why I believe in preparedness and it's why I have an emergency food kit from my Patriot supply in my house. I have it. I have them here at the studios. I shouldn't have said that because now people, I mean, I also have a lot of ammunition if things get tough. Don't come here.

I have a 25 year shelf life. They come in stackable tubs. They're easy to store. You can you can build a supply that makes sense for your family during their national preparedness month event. My Patriot supply wants to send send you over a thousand dollars in shelf stable food and preparedness gear gear. And it's amazing stuff. The solar generator that's enough power to run your fridge or your medical device or your laptop or your phone or whatever you need to do. You just prioritize it. And it's also the bundle comes with a huge bunch of food. Go right now to preparewiglenn.com. That's preparewiglenn.com. If you miss Glenn's tribute to Charlie Kirk last night, you missed a lot. Watch it on demand at glennbeck.com. We haven't had a chance to talk about so much today. There's so much news going on last night. The convention. It was really good. Really, really good. Good night for the Republicans. Good messages coming out. Good night for JD fans.

I haven't had a chance to then talk to you about the interest rate. I think it's going to be raised maybe not before the election, but soon thereafter. If not in September. I haven't had a chance to tell you about the Houthis. What's going on there? They have taken control of another straight. That's why oil is up again. It is all a delicate balance on how to fight this. But I want to warn you that you should be mentally preparing for a time when our lives changed dramatically like 2008 or worse. This time, if we hit $130 a barrel and we're at 104, what is it? What is it right now? 107. We hit $130 a barrel and we hold that price for a few weeks. The world collapses. The entire system collapses and you have a great reset.

God help us all. But you should be mentally preparing and just keeping this on your radar that this is a real possibility. And pray, like you've never prayed before, that it does not happen. But the Lord will be done and we just accept it and go, okay, it's going to be for our good one way or another. We're going to get something good out of all of this. I tried to express this last night at Charlie Kirk's one year memorial because it was really sad because there's a lot of people that work for Charlie that went there and it was the first time they had been back on the campus since he was shot. And it was traumatizing to so many people backstage. And so there was still a lot of tears and everything else. And it was absolutely wholly appropriate. But I had prayed all day. Please, Lord, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy.

And the Lord answered my prayer and it was really, it ended in a really joyous way. At least I hope. Let me give you a cut. Cut three. So much joy in living and living the truth. Listen to this. But let me speak about universities in general. You come to these places and you are told that you can sign for $120,000 at 18. An amount of money. No bank is going to give you for a car or for a house or the greatest business idea. They're not going to do it. But you can loan it to what? Do gender studies? Okay. Let's just do the arithmetic on this one because nobody in this building will do the arithmetic with you. How much does that pay? Just show me the starting salary. Show me the interest in 20 years. You're not buying a degree.

That's a mortgage on a house that you haven't seen and will never ever live in and one that you may not have needed in the first place. Do the math. Force that don't take the money because you can get it. Man, you want to go find yourself. Go find yourself at a Taco Bell. Do that for $35. Don't spend $120,000 to find yourself here. Because I got news for you. I went to Yale and I took Christology. You want to find God. You're not going to find Him in Yale. You want to find yourself. You're not going to find Him here. It's not the cut that I was looking for, but it's it was I tried to give the advice that I think they need to hear and try to call people on the carpet as much as I could yet still being friendly. You know, go want to spread darkness. Joy. Spread joy. I talked to I I I talked to the students about, especially the male and females.

I started singling out the females and saying, here's the lies you're being taught and here's the truth about who you are and the same with the males. And I was shocked at the reception this this had cut 12 please. Let me flip the table on you brothers. Look what our society has done to our men. We have young men that cannot launch 26 years old in the basement 300 hours into a game. Terrified of a job interview, but more terrified of asking a girl out for a date. So tell them that's not right. We need children. Get together. Get married. Have sex. Have lots of it.

I mean, they really guys. It's not this hard. Wow. It was it was an amazing. I mean, obviously that was at least I wouldn't have written that down didn't plan on that coming out. But it was amazing when I heard them react to you know, they're more afraid to ask a woman and I got that from my son because he's like, Dad, you don't know what it's like. I'm going to be I'm going to be the creepy guy on their feed because I came up to them and said, Hi, I'm rave. What's your name? Because it doesn't work that way anymore. He's like, and they're they and women they everybody has a feed and there are some women. If you're talked to the wrong woman, she wants she wants the hit. She wants the follower. She wants to be viral. And so she'll tape you.

If you're talking to her and she'll tape you and then she relentlessly mocks you. He's like, I don't I have a hard time talking to women. Yeah, but if you listen to the cheers, I can tell that you in boldened the young men to ask girls out. In fact, I heard a story last night where there was a single guy and a single girl who came separately. And I think they were sitting next to each other and the guy asked the girl out. So really? Yes. Oh, I was telling the insiders earlier in the show today. Definitely glints sneaked in that line about having lots of sex and gross the staff and his kids out, but all the kids were like dry heaving. Oh, yeah, two children were in the audience and they're like, they came back and they're like, Dad, please don't ever talk about sex again. Yes, but we might have a baby boom and about nine months. If they, you know, they heard sex and I hope they heard the get married part first. But yeah, that was a message they needed here. And that is a message that Charlie was giving them. Yeah, and they they want it. They do what that crowd.

They they want and I don't mean get together like have sex. They want to they want to live a more reasonable rational normal what we would have called. Normal lifetime. They've never had that kind of relationship. They don't you know, when I said I said to the women, I said have more respect for yourself because you deserve more. When a guy comes and asks you out, first of all guys ask her into her face not by a post ask her in person. The women went nuts. And I said, now, if you ask a woman and you're going to take her out. And you show up ladies, if he shows up at your door and he's wearing cargo shorts, here's what I want you to say. You're all dressed up. You're ready to go for a date. He shows up in cargo shorts. You look at him and go, oh, is that the t-shirt you were wearing while you were in your basement gaming all afternoon and close the door. Is it because I guarantee you he will come back next time in pants and a shirt. There's no reason you dress up for him and he doesn't even shave or put on a pair of pants for you.

No, you're worth more than that. And guys, you are too. And try to try to show last night and I think it's strangely connected. They're so hungry for this. The guys want more and they want higher standards. They do. They want a woman to hold them to higher standards. And it's why this, this Clancy case has bothered me so much. We are, we have lowered the standards. Women just are falling off a cliff. I told a story of a woman who, or girl, 19 year old girl that came by the TPUSA table at the University of America. Last week, my son, I said, son, what's happening on the campus with this? And he said, dad, this 19 year old girl, and she said she was really pretty and she comes by the table and she looks at she looks at us and sees it were with TPUSA. And she says, oh, oh, my throat hurts.

And he said, we were just standing there. I didn't even know what to say. I'm glad you didn't say anything. Son, I'm glad you didn't say anything. But when I told that story because when you, when a society loses the girls, when it loses that girl is not a monster, that girl is a casualty of this society. She's been taught all these lies that the more cruel you can be to the right person, the better you are. The more your, more friends you'll have, the higher in the rank and the status of the collective you'll get. She's got more misery coming towards her than you will ever be able to dish out. Pray for that girl. Pray for that girl. But warning to society, guys need high standards. We need them. Guys will just go generally speaking, not every guy, but generally speaking, we'll just go to the lowest standard available.

If you'll do that, if you'll put a, I see these girls who are all dressed up and they're going out, all these girls, you'll be a pack of girls and they're all dressed up and all of the guys are wearing, you know, sweats, cargo pants and t-shirts and they're out. And the girls are just tagging along. I'm like, why did you get all dressed up? Why? Like, don't you have enough self respect to say, dude, you know, have a little pride. Have a little respect for me. Guys want a higher standard. My wife, I stopped. I stopped. I will say this way. Voisin' for my wife. I would have fallen off the wagon. I wouldn't have stayed with God the whole time because I'm weak and pathetic. I don't like going to church. And my wife is like, yeah, it's Sunday. Get up out of bed. We're going to church. Yeah, okay, honey.

She, she holds me and not by nagging just by having a higher standard and she, she sees. She sees the man I could be before I ever was. She believed in me before I believed in me. And that's so important. And guys, if you treat a woman, you find a woman that has standards and you treat her or you bring her stand, woe unto you. You have no idea what you've done. You have no idea. And women? Same. You find a guy with higher standards, but I don't like going to church. I don't like doing that. Woe unto you. You're missing such incredible joy. Incredible joy. When you team up together and you hold standards up, don't let society tear you down.

Don't, don't, don't do it. Look at the misery. Look at the number of people that are killing themselves. Look at the number of people that have no friends whatsoever because all their friends are fake friends online. Look at the people who can't tell the difference between reality, reality and, and online virtual AI crap. You're better than this. You're better than this. And it is so warm on the other side. It is so good in reality. More than a minute. You know, Mercury one is celebrating their 15th anniversary. 25 years ago, we saw the worst of what human beings are capable of. But we also saw something else. We saw firefighters running up the stairs while everybody else was running down. We saw police officers and paramedics and ordinary people who put themselves in danger for complete strangers. And in the days that followed, American showed up for one another. On Monday, I'm going to do something about 912.

That was the greatest day of my life. Nobody cared what you voted for. We just worked together. And that's the kind of heart that's behind Mercury one. When Lahaina burned down, Mercury one was there. After the floods at Camp Mystic here in Texas, Mercury one was there. When Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, Mercury one was there. And you know what? With all three of those? We're still there. We don't disappear when the story disappears. Somebody came up to me last night and said, Glenn, I've just been reading about your charity arm. It's like, I had no idea. You guys, you've built like 900 houses in these devastated, and I'm like, yeah. And he's like, you gotta say that more. And I'm like, that's not why we do it. I'm only telling you this because we want you to join us. So if you would go to Mercury one dot org, we would love for you to join us. And the best way you can join us.

First way to join us is just to join our loyalty, which would mean that we're going to ask you, I don't even know what it's $4 $10 a month or $15 a month just to help us be able to do these things. Just text 85 2017 85 2017 text the word loyalty to 85 2017 or just go to Mercury one dot org. So now that you got that metal picture in your head, Glenn back will be right back. Well, I think Netflix finally has done something bad enough to her. I think I'm going to cancel my name. Well, I think Netflix finally has done something bad enough to her. I think I'm going to cancel my Netflix subscription this weekend. I'll tell you more about that.

You'll find that online. It's an absolute nightmare. We're also going to talk about the 912 project that's tomorrow. But I'll address that on Monday. You don't want to miss Monday's program. And also don't forget our podcast is out tomorrow. It's days of ash episode two, wherever you find your podcast.
