0:27
Things, people, love. So
0:29
it always starts the same way. There's
0:32
a strange sound outside, then suddenly darkness. The
0:34
hum of the refrigerator cuts out. Your
0:36
phone signal vanishes and then silence.
0:39
No power, no internet, no
0:41
updates, and of course, no
0:43
idea what happened. And for the
0:45
first time, it hits you. You're
0:47

0:52
reality shifts. The question isn't, you

this is the video.
2:38
According to The Daily Wire, experts
2:40
are finally admitting that ADHD
2:42
is a scam. Stu
2:44
says, not so fast. I say,
2:47
what are you, slow? Keep up. Keep up. You don't have
2:49
any speed in you? Come on, come on, come on,
2:51
come on, come on. Keep up. Let's go, let's go, let's
2:53
go, let's go. We'll talk about this here in just
2:55
a second. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. You
2:59
know, have you ever thought about what you're
3:01
building, not just for yourself, but for the
3:03
people that you love? We spend years and
3:05
decades working, saving, planning, building something that we
3:07
hope lasts longer than ourselves. Something
3:09
we can pass on, a legacy.
3:13
But the part people don't like
3:15
to talk about is castles built on
3:17
sand don't stand the test of
3:19
time. And we've never been in a
3:21
situation in this generation or last
3:23
few generations where we understand that the
3:26
castle we are building everything on
3:28
is... On sand. It's,
3:30
know, the market fluctuations, everything.
3:32
Everything is built on
3:34
confidence and certainty. Except
3:37
for the dollar.
3:41
I want you to consider calling
3:43
Lear Capital today. Did
3:45
you see that gold
3:47
is now up to
3:49
3 ,341? All -time high.
3:51
All -time high. $300
3:53
more than it was, what, at
3:55
the beginning of the year? I
3:58
mean, we should have a talk
4:00
here today if we have time
4:02
about what I said 15
4:04
years ago about when gold is
4:06
at $3 ,000 an ounce. You
4:08
don't want to know what
4:10
the world is up against. We're
4:12
now past that on our
4:14
way to $4 ,000 and $5 ,000
4:16
an ounce. Not good. Please
4:18
protect yourself. 800 -957 -GOLD. That is
4:20
a huge warning. When gold
4:22
is up that much that fast.
4:25
That's a huge
4:27
warning. 800 -957 -GOLD.
4:29
800 -957 -GOLD. Call them
4:31
now. All right. So,
4:34
even though Stu
4:37
doesn't want you to hear this news.
4:39
I don't? He want you to hear this
4:41
news. Because he hates children. I do?
4:43
I have two of them. Well,
4:45
yeah. Well, Mangalite liked them in
4:47
pairs, too. Wow. That
4:49
went really dark really fast.
4:52
I do have a tendency of like
4:54
10 seconds into the hour, like launching
4:57
nuclear weapons. I've noticed. Yeah, we should
4:59
probably build up to that one. Anyway, there's
5:05
a new article out
5:07
now that that talks
5:09
about ADHD and it's
5:11
coming from the left
5:13
and the experts that
5:15
they're now starting to
5:17
say. I don't know.
5:20
Maybe not everything we
5:22
thought was true about ADHD.
5:25
And I think this story is written by
5:27
Matt Walsh, who's great. Whoever wrote this for The Daily
5:29
Wire was great. More than
5:32
21 % of 14 -year -old boys
5:34
in this country now supposedly
5:36
suffer from ADHD. The number
5:38
goes up to 23 % for
5:40
17 -year -old boys. As a result,
5:42
prescriptions for drugs like Ritalin and Adderall
5:44
have skyrocketed. Just want you to know
5:46
that's speed. From 2012
5:48
to 2022, the total
5:51
number of prescriptions for
5:53
stimulants to treat ADHD
5:55
increased dramatically by nearly
5:57
60%. From 2012, in
5:59
a 10 -year period, we've
6:01
gone up with 60
6:04
% prescription. Between
6:07
the ages of 10 to 14, the demographic
6:09
saw the highest increase in these prescriptions. So
6:12
he writes,
6:14
and I think this is such a great
6:16
observation. For decades,
6:18
you've been instructed to believe
6:20
there's no significance to this correlation
6:22
whatsoever. And here it is. As
6:25
women increasingly enter the workforce
6:27
and replace men in teaching
6:29
jobs. we're not supposed to
6:31
draw any conclusions about how
6:33
the behavior of male children
6:35
is now being addressed the truth
6:38
is we've been told
6:40
not that a feminized education
6:42
system has increasingly punished normal male
6:44
behavior it doesn't understand it's
6:46
not that schools have lost their
6:48
capacity to educate male students
6:50
it's that it's not that smartphone
6:52
use and electronics in general
6:54
have become distractions teachers have been
6:56
unable to control instead We're
6:59
led to believe that boys
7:01
have suddenly become afflicted
7:03
with a severe psychological disorder.
7:08
Okay. You know, this
7:10
is the first time I had ever
7:12
heard this about, you know, how we
7:14
feminized things. And we have. We've diminished
7:16
boys. But I grew up at a
7:18
school. I don't think I had a
7:20
male teacher until I was in high
7:22
school. I had all female TV.
7:24
There weren't a lot of nuns that were,
7:27
oh my gosh, I remember that really, I
7:30
remember that really male -like, maybe
7:32
she was a man, but identified
7:34
as a nun. I'm not
7:36
sure. And you, of course, to
7:38
put it gently, are not
7:40
exactly a recent student. No.
7:46
It's better than where I thought he was going, Sarah. I thought
7:48
he was going, you're not really a man. But
7:51
I'll it. I got it. You're
7:53
right, though. There surely are more female
7:55
teachers, I would think, just because
7:57
of the workforce changes. Sure. But that
7:59
was a pretty – I mean, all
8:01
my teachers that I can always remember
8:03
were female, too. The one thing that
8:05
has changed, though, is we just dismiss
8:08
boys entirely. I
8:10
mean, it's all focused on girls right now.
8:12
All of it. It's science. Everything is just
8:14
push the girls, push the girls, push the
8:16
girls. You can be anything. Shut up. Sit
8:18
down and have some Ritalin to the
8:20
boys. And that's a problem.
8:22
And I have to tell you, as a
8:25
parent, you probably have recognized this. Does
8:28
Lisa understand
8:30
your daughter better than you do?
8:32
and you understand your son i get
8:35
the point you're going at i don't
8:37
know that it would necessarily apply some
8:39
way she she very well understands my
8:41
daughter because i walk in i'm just
8:43
i'm just clueless i have no idea
8:45
i you know i i walk in as
8:47
my as a dad and i'm like
8:49
hey put some pants on would you and my
8:51
daughter's like and i'm like what the hell did
8:54
i just say and my wife just looks
8:56
at me like you don't say that to her
8:58
i'm like okay But
9:00
she'll say that to my son and my
9:02
son doesn't go. They're
9:04
different. I know they are. They
9:06
are. And I can relate.
9:08
For instance, my wife, she'll say
9:11
something and I know how
9:13
she means it because I'm an
9:15
adult. But I can hear
9:17
what Rafe hears. Right. Because
9:19
I heard it from my mom and
9:21
I realize now that's not what my mom
9:23
meant. But you hear. pick
9:27
up your room you're always a mess you're
9:29
always this and that's not what she said
9:31
you know what i mean sure you know it's
9:33
true it is it's not what as they
9:35
get into the teenage years in particular it's
9:37
really difficult i really mean
9:39
yeah that's what i mean is the teenage
9:41
years i i have no idea like
9:43
i had no idea how mean girls are
9:45
oh my gosh
9:47
they are vicious i would
9:49
much rather be put into
9:51
a room of rabid boys
9:54
than normal girls. They
9:56
are dangerous. Guys can be
9:58
jerks, but they're on the
10:00
surface. stupid jerks. Yeah, it's just
10:02
kind of nonsensical stuff. Girls dig.
10:04
They dig for the wounds. Gosh,
10:06
they just, they'll cut you open
10:08
and then they'll eat your heart
10:11
while you're still watching them. I
10:13
mean, it's horrible. Anyway, so
10:15
the article goes on to say
10:17
about how some of these Some
10:19
of these studies, and they point
10:21
one out, the University of Central
10:23
Florida conducted a grand experiment where they
10:25
put a child in front of a computer,
10:28
and it shows the video in this. The
10:30
research, and by the way, you can get this
10:32
article at glenbeck.com. You just sign up for
10:34
my free email newsletter. You get all the stories
10:36
we talk about every day. Research
10:38
has showed a child two separate
10:40
videos. One video was about mathematics.
10:43
And it involves a teacher talking
10:45
about basic addition, subtraction, and
10:48
multiplication. The
10:50
other video was the
10:52
pod racing scene from Star
10:54
Wars. Now, you'll
10:56
never guess what they discovered. Oh,
10:58
what did they discover? They discovered
11:00
that when the math lecture was
11:02
going on, the kid started spinning
11:04
in his chair and he was
11:07
fidgeting and not paying attention. but
11:09
when the child was watching the
11:11
pod... Yes! Something deeply psychologically
11:13
wrong with that kid, right? You're telling
11:15
me when they showed the one good
11:17
scene from the first prequel they were
11:19
interested? Yeah. Wow, that's shocking. I was
11:21
fidgeting. The rest of the movie was
11:23
like math. Yeah, I would say... Give
11:26
me the one that is the pod
11:28
racing scene versus the trade dispute scene
11:30
from the Star... Why go to anything
11:32
else? Just do the Star Wars thing.
11:34
Right, so... It doesn't prove anything. It proves
11:36
that there wasn't a lot of good scenes
11:38
in the first Star Wars. Wait a minute.
11:40
I just did a study with my kids.
11:42
They like sugary cereal over bran flakes. Oh,
11:44
my gosh. I know. I got to get
11:46
them on the bran flakes. Now I got
11:48
to get them on LSD or something. We
11:51
are looking. for
11:53
these diagnosis,
11:56
to diagnose kids in this way, I
11:58
think, often. That doesn't mean that there aren't
12:00
some that have these types of issues. When
12:03
you refer to that article, you said Matt Walsh
12:06
wrote this? Matt's great. I don't know. It's from
12:08
Daily Wire. I thought it was Matt Walsh. Daily
12:10
Wire's great. We love the Daily Wire guys. Obviously,
12:12
the one I had read was some scientific, I
12:14
thought it was referring to a different story, where
12:16
they did not say it was a scam. Obviously,
12:18
it's an opinion to say it's a scam. be
12:21
the right thing yeah it's a pretty strong opinion
12:23
it might be the right one i know but
12:26
i mean i was referring to a different article
12:28
which is why i was confused that you're framing
12:30
of it but like these are right right right
12:32
right that's not i think there are kids that
12:34
are affected with with really different they have real
12:36
trouble in school oh my gosh focusing on things
12:38
of course that was that are maybe a little
12:40
bit more than they can handle on their own
12:42
a psychological disorder It's not. Yeah,
12:44
it might not be. All
12:46
kids are wired differently. Yeah. Boys
12:48
and girls are wired differently in
12:50
the first place. Then it's just,
12:53
you know, that's one of
12:55
the things that AI can produce
12:57
that will be good with you
12:59
as a parent overseeing it every
13:01
step of the way is it
13:03
will adapt to the way
13:05
you learn because everybody learns differently.
13:07
You know, there are kids that
13:09
just. They're into math and I
13:12
don't get it and they
13:14
can talk about math all day
13:16
long and they've lost me. But
13:18
a kid that likes to learn
13:20
through stories, I'm there all day
13:22
for them. I'm there all
13:24
day. And I was
13:26
the same way. I'm a
13:28
visual learner. I'm a story. You
13:31
know, I learn from stories. And
13:33
if I have a really boring
13:35
teacher. Some of the kids
13:37
are really going to love that
13:39
teacher because he's just all about facts
13:42
and just gets it all out
13:44
and can explain it. In fact, that
13:46
doesn't help me. It doesn't help
13:48
me. That doesn't mean I have a
13:50
psychological. Well, let me make it
13:52
clear that by itself does not indicate
13:54
that I have a deep psychological
13:56
problem. OK, other things might, but not
13:58
that. That's just everybody is different. especially
14:01
the difference between boys
14:03
and girls. And here's
14:05
what they said. The
14:08
conclusion was that ADHD
14:10
is triggered by cognitively
14:12
demanding tasks. No,
14:16
no, it's not. No, it's not. I was
14:18
painting yesterday and I can't tell you how
14:20
many times I just kind of like was
14:22
holding the brush and I walked around the
14:24
house and I'm like, oh, wait a minute,
14:26
I was painting. I mean, I just get,
14:28
I just, you know, lose train of thought
14:30
and I start thinking about something else and
14:32
I'm like, wait, I, oh
14:34
wait, I got to go back into the
14:36
art room and pay, you know, I don't
14:39
know if anybody else is like that, but
14:41
you know, it's honestly, it's kind of like
14:43
going to the fridge all the time. You
14:45
know, there's no reason to go to the
14:47
fridge and just stare at the fridge that
14:49
you just, you just opened up and stared
14:51
at, you know, that's not a deep psychological
14:53
problem. That's just the way you're wired. Fat?
14:57
Yes. The
14:59
fat is directly wired
15:01
right to my brain.
15:03
Right to the brain.
15:05
So, you know, I
15:07
personally think a lot
15:09
of things are solved,
15:11
and not for everybody,
15:13
not universally, but are
15:15
solved by understanding that
15:17
we're all different, and
15:19
then, you know, just
15:21
not being such a... mamby
15:25
-pamby, wishy -washy society that's trying
15:28
to understand everything. Do you
15:30
ever see the South Park
15:32
episode on ADHD? Listen
15:34
to this. Hello,
15:37
I'm Dr. Richard Shea, here to
15:39
tell you about my exciting new
15:41
drug -free treatment for children with
15:43
attention deficit disorder. This
15:46
treatment is fast and effective and doesn't
15:48
use harmful drugs. Watch closely as I apply
15:50
treatment to the first child. Let's
15:59
go raise the raise. Let's go. Sit
16:01
out and study. Stop
16:05
crying and do your schoolwork. If
16:09
you would like more information on my bold
16:11
new treatments, please send away for this free
16:13
brochure. So part of
16:15
it is, part of it is, and
16:17
this is obviously way over. You should
16:19
hit kids more. No, what I'm saying
16:21
is, and this is a very broad
16:23
brush. One of the things that we
16:25
have a problem with now is just
16:28
saying, Knock it off. Study. Knock
16:30
it off. Focus. And I know
16:32
not everybody can, but if you
16:34
couple that with actually knowing that
16:36
kids are different and trying to
16:38
find the best way for your
16:40
kids to learn, because it's not.
16:43
That's the problem, honestly, with big
16:45
class sizes and a lot of
16:47
public schools. Public schools are made
16:49
for everybody to be the same.
16:52
Okay? Everybody has
16:54
to be the same. Well,
16:56
they're not the same. Some
16:58
kids learn really well in
17:00
that atmosphere. Some kids don't. It's
17:04
not one size fits all.
17:06
And they're not teaching you. It's a
17:08
lot more exciting when you are learning
17:11
things. I mean, honestly, how many times
17:13
have you heard your kids say, well,
17:15
your kids aren't teenagers yet, so you'll
17:17
start to hear One is, yeah. Really?
17:19
How old? Zach's 13. 13. About
17:22
to turn 14. Wow. Crazy. He's about
17:24
to be married and have kids. Or
17:27
at least just have kids. Anyway.
17:29
Oh, please no. So, you know, you'll
17:31
hear from your kids, why do
17:33
I have to know this? Why am
17:35
I memorizing this? I'll never use
17:37
it. I'll never use it. And, you
17:39
know, as a parent, you want
17:41
to say, you're right. There's
17:43
no reason why you need to know. memorize
17:46
that name and that year tell my kids
17:48
all the time ai is coming you're not gonna
17:50
have to know anything all you have to
17:52
do is just type it in and it'll do
17:54
all the work might not be a good
17:56
don't worry about it might not be never learn
17:58
another thing son yeah see i i don't
18:00
tell them it's coming i tell them it's already
18:02
here why are you working on that why
18:04
are you questioning have just take a picture of
18:06
it give it to grok and it will
18:08
finish it um but there's we have to start
18:12
We have to start going back to
18:14
a lot of the common sense, you
18:16
know, that we used to have. And
18:19
there's a lot of things that were
18:21
really bad. I mean, you know, I
18:23
was afraid of our principal. She
18:26
was, it was Sister Una. Okay,
18:28
that just says enough right there.
18:30
Sister Una. And she had a
18:32
paddle that she hung up in
18:34
her office that she made herself.
18:37
Uh, and it was a wood paddle and
18:40
she had drilled holes in it to pick
18:42
up speed. So there wasn't real resistance. Oh
18:44
yeah. Oh my. And she, you know, she
18:46
was proud of it. She was proud of
18:48
it. Um, but you know what I was
18:50
more afraid of? I
18:52
mean, I would have taken the paddling, give it
18:54
to me twice as hard sister. Just
18:56
let's keep this between us. Just
18:59
don't call my parents. Okay.
19:02
We don't have that anymore. We
19:04
don't have that anymore. And
19:06
there are some things that
19:08
come from discipline, some things
19:11
that come from kids being
19:13
different, and some, you know,
19:15
because they do have an
19:17
issue. You know, you
19:19
can't talk a kid out
19:21
of, you know, dyslexia.
19:24
You can't understand your way out
19:26
of dyslexia. You can't, you know.
19:28
You can't do anything except understand
19:30
that that makes your child different
19:32
and there are ways for them
19:34
to learn. But the worst thing
19:36
you can do is to medicate
19:38
your child so they don't adapt.
19:41
They have to. You either are
19:43
wildly successful or you're going
19:46
to live under a bridge if
19:48
you have ADD. You
19:50
decide. You either adapt to it
19:52
and use it as a strength
19:54
or you just. You don't adapt
19:56
to it and you just are
19:58
crushed by the rest of your
20:00
life. Back in just a
20:02
second, Z Factor. Ever try to go
20:04
to sleep and your brain is like,
20:06
great, great. Let's relive every bad decision
20:08
you've made since the third grade. Let
20:10
the games begin. It's midnight. You're
20:12
staring at the ceiling, suddenly remembering
20:14
the time you waved back at somebody
20:17
who wasn't waving at you. That
20:19
was 11 years ago, by the way.
20:21
Meanwhile, your body is doing, you
20:23
know, its part. Your legs are cramping.
20:25
Your back is staging a protest.
20:27
Somehow your left foot is too cold.
20:29
Your right foot is inside of
20:31
a volcano. You flipped your pillow several
20:33
times and you're still wide awake
20:35
planning an imaginary argument with your spouse.
20:37
You know, the one you're going
20:39
to lose again. All
20:41
right, slow things down.
20:43
A lot of that stuff's not
20:45
going to happen. You know, actually
20:47
get some sleep. And for that,
20:49
may I recommend something that is
20:51
all natural, Z factor from relief
20:54

21:27
know, I didn't get a chance
21:29
to talk about Andrew Cuomo yesterday, but
21:31
Andrew Cuomo is awful.com. Hey, it's
21:33
me, Andrew Cuomo. I'm thinking maybe you
21:35
forgot about all the people I
21:37
killed. You know I mean? I'm just
21:40
saying. Remember, Grandma? Let's not think
21:42
about her too much. I had nothing
21:44
to do with her death, even
21:46
though I had everything to do with
21:48
her death. Hey, I'm back.
21:50
Vote for me. It is crazy.
21:52
He's 100 % going to win
21:55
that race. No.
21:57
Yes. Yes, I know he will. think
21:59
so, too. We predicted it before he
22:01
left. Yep. We said he would leave.
22:03
He would whitewash the whole thing. The
22:05
Democrats would allow him to do it.
22:07
He'll never be held responsible. Everybody will
22:09
say it was no big deal. And
22:11
he'll come back and he'll run for
22:13
office again. And he'll win. He probably
22:15
will. I'm convinced of it at this
22:17
point. And I don't know. They've forgotten
22:19
about all the people that he led
22:21
to their deaths, allegedly. truthfully
22:24
in my opinion um and then also
22:26
uh all the women he groped too
22:28
that's that's forgotten as well all can
22:30
be forgotten look at the bright side
22:32
at least he wasn't groping dead women
22:34
that's true i don't think he groped
22:36
any of the dead women that's true
22:38
you know i mean good way to
22:41
look at the positive thank you that
22:43
should be on his freaking campaign slogan
22:45
that is his bumper sticker vote cuomo
22:47
i didn't grope any of the dead
22:49
people yeah Well, you
22:51
broadened it even more. You
22:53
made it better. I
22:55
was just saying women. Who
22:57
knows? People is probably
22:59
better and more really today
23:01
than old -timey past. This
23:07
is Glenn Beck. You
23:09
ever pull something in
23:11
your back just by
23:14
existing? You know, you drop
23:16
a pen, you go to pick it up,
23:18
suddenly your spine feels... Like
23:20
it's got to file a formal
23:22
complaint with HR. Welcome to
23:24
adulthood. When pain shows up uninvited,
23:26
it never seems to leave, at least
23:28
with me. It's your worst roommate.
23:30
It eats your energy, hogs your sleep,
23:32
makes sure that you grunt like
23:35
a 90 -year -old every time you stand
23:37
up. Isn't that the worst? They
23:39
stand up now and I'm like, okay.
23:41
They're like, are you okay? Yeah,
23:43
I'm good. I'm good. Oh, you
23:45
have really bad back problems. You know,
23:47
there's one thing. Well, there's two things. There's
23:50
three, actually. You could hit me in the head
23:52
with a hammer. That'll put me out for a
23:54
little while. I could take massive drugs, and I'll
23:56
just be like, hey, man, I don't care about
23:58
anything. Yeah, I hurt, but I don't really care.
24:01
And the other thing that will
24:03
really knock the pain down for
24:05
me is relief factor. Relief

25:22
the Wednesday night special is happening tonight
25:24
at nine. You don't want to miss
25:26
it. We're going to talk about the
25:28
real problem that Donald Trump is trying
25:30
to solve, and that is the trade
25:32
issue. But I think
25:34
you need some historic context to understand
25:37
it. So we're going to show
25:39
you the dismantling of America tonight at
25:41
nine. You don't want to miss
25:43
it. Let me ask you this. Are
25:45
we seeing a change in SNL? Saturday
25:48
Night Live? Yeah. Is there a
25:50
cultural change in Saturday Night Live, or
25:52
am I just seeing a couple
25:54
of sketches that are showing us? I
25:56
think they sense the winds blowing
25:59
in another direction, and they, you know,
26:01
unlike the rest of the left.
26:03
They may be understanding it or maybe
26:05
not. You're talking about the sketch
26:07
they did. Do we have that sketch
26:09
from Saturday with a gay couple?
26:11
Yeah, that's the most recent thing. I
26:13
mean, Shane Gillis is maybe the...
26:16
example of this, though, they hire the
26:18
guy. They find out he made
26:20
some jokes about people years and years
26:22
previously. Then they fire him. And
26:24
a year later or two years later,
26:26
he's back hosting. Not as a
26:28
cast member, not as a B writer,
26:31
which he probably would have been.
26:33
Instead, he's hosting it because he embraced
26:35
who he was. So here, this
26:37
sketch... This sketch would not have been
26:39
done two years ago. It reminds
26:41
me of one that would have been
26:43
done 25 years ago. Yes. Easy.
26:45
Listen to the sketch in case you
26:48
missed it. Oh, my God. my
26:50
gosh, whose baby is that? Sitting
26:52
with a baby like Excuse me? It's ours. Wait,
26:55
but how? Okay, I'm sorry,
26:57
but gay people can't have a
26:59
baby? Yeah,
27:02
but, like, where did it come
27:04
from? Excuse me? Excuse me?
27:06
Wow, you are not allowed to
27:08
talk like that. That is so
27:10
invasive. Okay, but, like, we
27:12
were with you last night, and you did
27:14
not have a baby. Yeah,
27:16
and you guys said that after
27:18
dinner, you were going to go to
27:21
a rave called Bulge Dungeon, and
27:23
now today you have a baby. What
27:25
we're asking is, how did this
27:27
happen? Okay, I'm sorry, why is it
27:29
when it's us, an interrogation? I
27:31
think we're... wondering who the mother is
27:33
hey well between the two of
27:35
us I'm more emotional and I like
27:38
shopping so me I think yeah
27:40
but I mean I have long hair
27:42
and he is an alcoholic so
27:44
I guess it's like two moms I
27:46
guess guys how did you get
27:48
this baby I guess what's confusing us
27:50
is you've never mentioned that you
27:53
were having a baby so this feels
27:55
pretty sudden Yeah, because
27:57
it wasn't planned. Sometimes it's
27:59
an accident. How does a gay
28:01
couple have a baby by
28:03
accident? Where is your baby from?
28:06
Us! But how did
28:08
you get it? You
28:11
mean she, they, until he
28:13
tells us otherwise. It's
28:16
amazing. It's funny, guys. It's
28:18
very funny. Actually a funny sketch.
28:20
So is this a sketch
28:22
that is opening up? comedy
28:25
to do things. Is
28:27
this a sketch about a
28:29
gay couple being able
28:31
to... Is this a sketch
28:33
that shows us that
28:36
things are changing and political
28:38
correctness is going away?
28:40
Or is this a way
28:42
to mainstream gay couples
28:44
having a baby and adopting
28:46
a baby? That's the
28:49
argument that I've read. Really?
28:52
And I think it's more of the
28:54
first, but there are people that
28:56
are saying, no, no, no, no. Don't
28:58
be fooled. John Roberts
29:00
has a plan. No, unless you have
29:02
any fun anymore. God, can you not
29:04
just laugh at a scare? Again, that
29:06
doesn't It's very funny. So I don't
29:08
think, honestly, it makes much of a
29:11
point either way to encourage or discourage
29:13
gay parenting or anything like that. What
29:15
it is, is it's pointing out a
29:17
very obvious thing, which is there is
29:19
tension. around saying something blatantly
29:21
obvious and there shouldn't be. And by
29:23
the way, one of the guys in
29:25
the sketch is gay in real one?
29:27
He wasn't wearing it. Jon Hamm. No,
29:29
the other guy is gay. Oh my
29:31
gosh. I didn't see the marking on
29:33
his clothes. I know. It's shocking. I
29:36
don't know why they allowed
29:38
Jon Hamm to culturally appropriate. the
29:41
gay role why he couldn't uh
29:43
throwing pointing that out maybe he slept
29:45
with somebody maybe he did to
29:47
justify the appearance um but like all
29:49
that is is we this is
29:51
an uncomfortable thing to say and it
29:53
is is a uh a thing
29:55
that society has made uncomfortable and they're
29:57
saying it out loud that is
29:59
the basics of comedy and they're saying
30:02
You can't say that. Right. They're noticing
30:04
how bizarre it is that you
30:06
can't question it. Correct. When every single
30:08
person on earth is aware that
30:10
asking, hey, where did the baby come
30:12
from to two men is a
30:15
reasonable question because, of course, two men
30:17
can't produce a baby by themselves. Especially
30:19
if you didn't have one or talked about
30:21
it the night before. Yes. Yeah. That would
30:23
be, you know, it's where the comedy is.
30:26
Two gay men cannot have a baby by
30:28
mistake. That's a really good point. You think
30:30
that's signaling a change? You
30:32
know, I think a
30:34
lot of companies put all
30:36
of their chips on
30:38
the table, betting it's going
30:40
this way. I think
30:42
Donald Trump, I think you'll
30:44
see if Donald Trump
30:47
is successful and you keep
30:49
the Republican Congress and
30:51
the Senate and a Republican
30:53
is voted in as
30:55
president in the next election,
30:57
I think you're going
30:59
to see massive change. Right
31:02
now, I don't think you look at
31:04
any of the changes like this and
31:06
think it's anything but hedging your bet.
31:08
Yeah. I don't
31:10
think anybody has woken up and
31:12
went, oh my gosh, we were
31:15
so wrong. We were canceling speech
31:17
and that's not what comedy is.
31:19
I don't think anybody was waking
31:21
up to that. I think at
31:23
best, maybe some did, but at
31:25
best, it's the group saying, this
31:27
is not going to work. We
31:31
don't want to be on the wrong side
31:33
of which way this falls out. Let's just go
31:35
make fun of things that we made fun
31:37
of. No harm, no foul. And
31:39
without articulating this, if it turns around,
31:41
we're right back where we were. Yeah,
31:43
and I don't think that you're going
31:45
to start seeing all these conservative things
31:47
going on on Saturday Night Live. The
31:49
point is that can you find comedy
31:52
wherever it is? We went through a
31:54
period, I think, through the Barack Obama
31:56
era and into the woke Biden era
31:58
where you basically weren't allowed to find
32:00
comedy. In things that were funny. Oh,
32:02
no. And that's always been the
32:04
way that comedies worked. It went
32:06
for claptor for years. And it
32:09
still is on a lot of
32:11
shows. Oh, I know. It's for
32:13
over a decade. Over a decade.
32:15
Jimmy Kimmel, you know, is doing
32:17
that still. Seth Meyers, you
32:19
know, what's his face, they're going to
32:21
be, they'll be dustbin of history. Those
32:23
guys will be. I don't think that's
32:25
going away, per se. No, but it's
32:27
not going to be as mainstream as
32:29
it was or tolerated like it was.
32:31
It's boring. You know, you see what's
32:33
happening to Snow White. Disney
32:35
is still doubling down. So
32:37
Disney is still going, we're
32:39
going that way. Okay, well,
32:41
go ahead. Here's what I
32:43
find fascinating about this is
32:45
that the left, those like
32:48
Disney who are continually doubling
32:50
down, Disney is.
32:52
I mean, Disney has always been
32:55
the number one storytelling company,
32:57
right? Sure. And what is it
32:59
that the right does horribly
33:01
for forever in my lifetime? Tell
33:03
stories. We're not good storytelling
33:05
people. We, you know, just conservatives,
33:07
they capture the heart. We
33:09
try to capture the mind. And
33:12
you got to go to
33:14
the mind through the heart. And
33:16
so that's how they can
33:18
move so many mountains that we
33:20
just can't seem to move
33:22
because they're good at storytelling. What
33:25
are they doing now? Look
33:28
at the Christian movies and
33:30
how good they are. They're
33:33
fantastic now. Not all of them, but
33:35
some of them are really because they're
33:37
just telling a story. Have you seen
33:39
House of David? You've been watching that
33:41
at all? No. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
33:44
And I don't feel preached
33:46
at. I don't feel anything
33:48
except that's a great story,
33:50
okay? And you don't have
33:52
to believe the Bible to look at
33:54
it and say, it's a great story.
33:56
It's not screaming at you. And this
33:58
is true, and you'll burn in hell
34:00
if you don't buy every single word
34:02
of it. You know, it doesn't do
34:05
that. That's what Christian movies used to
34:07
do. It's so fascinating to me that
34:09
right now. We're
34:11
learning the lesson that no matter
34:13
how hard people screamed at Christian
34:15
movie making people, they never seem
34:17
to get it. I want to
34:20
bring my friend to go see
34:22
this. I want my friend to
34:24
experience a moment where they're just
34:26
filled with the love of God.
34:28
But if you beat them over
34:30
the head with it, they're never
34:32
going to. How many times did
34:34
you ever take a friend to
34:36
a movie? Because you really
34:39
wanted to see them and you were trying to, you
34:41
know, help them find a path or whatever. And
34:43
everybody said, oh, you got to bring your friend to
34:45
this. And so you did. And then you're sitting
34:47
like five minutes in and you're like, oh, dear God.
34:49
And you just want to look at
34:51
your friend and go, I'm sorry. I'm
34:53
sorry. I'm sorry. Because this is so
34:55
transparent that it is just trying to
34:57
make these guys look bad. And that's
35:00
you may be you might actually hold
35:02
that point of view, but you're not
35:04
like that. You're not like that. And
35:06
all the people that believe differently, don't
35:08
believe in God, are not all of
35:10
a sudden in work for Satan. You
35:12
know I mean? And we
35:14
just beat people over
35:16
the head. And now suddenly
35:18
we've gotten it and
35:20
we've learned how to tell
35:23
great stories. And so
35:25
now what's growing like crazy?
35:29
God stuff. Religious
35:31
programming. And it's just
35:33
because it's good. It's a
35:35
good story. And they've
35:37
left the preaching for Sunday.
35:41
And what's happened? Look
35:43
at Snow White. It's
35:45
all about a message. You don't
35:47
even think about Snow White anymore.
35:50
You think about what everything
35:52
means in that movie. Don't
35:54
you understand what that means? Well,
35:57
I know. You'll probably miss
35:59
it. That's why Snow White tells
36:01
you exactly what that means.
36:03
Off screen. And on screen. And
36:06
they just beat you over the head with
36:08
it. And they're failing. I
36:10
find it fascinating that
36:12
we've switched places. Because
36:15
for them, it should be easy to see.
36:17
Somebody should be sitting in a boardroom at
36:19
Disney going, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait, wait.
36:21
Remember all those Christian movies that we used
36:23
to make fun of because they were so
36:25
bad because they were all just about messages?
36:27
And they made decent people who just disagreed
36:29
look like they were in league with Satan. Remember
36:33
that? And we used to make fun of it. Has
36:35
anybody noticed here at the table, we've become
36:37
those people? Do
36:39
those conversations even happen? I wonder.
36:41
I mean, you'd think it would happen.
36:44
I think there has to be
36:46
people who agree with those types of
36:48
questions. Whether they have the bravery
36:50
to say it in those meetings is
36:52
another question. Because look, what was
36:54
it? The message was more important than
36:56
money. And that's the
36:58
way Christians used to be. They would
37:00
be like, no, we have to get
37:02
this message out. be like,
37:05
but nobody's coming to come and watch this
37:07
movie. Yes, but if we can only get
37:09
one person to understand, wouldn't it be better
37:11
to get millions of people to come in
37:13
and hope maybe we could save a handful
37:15
of them? Open their minds a little bit.
37:17
Just open their minds a little bit. And
37:19
the next movie, open their mind a little
37:21
bit. Right. Maybe 25 conversations down the road,
37:23
something good happens. Who knows? Just plant the
37:25
seed. This is one of, of course, the
37:27
miracles of the market. By the way, it
37:29
doesn't require you to be a good person.
37:31
It doesn't require you to have the best
37:33
intentions. Oftentimes, it leads to
37:35
really good conclusions anyway. And
37:38
by the way, you know, speaking of that, we've
37:40
been talking about The King of Kings, the movie
37:42
from Angel's Studio, which is out right now. How'd
37:44
that do? Number two at the box office, only
37:46
behind Minecraft, which is one of the biggest movies
37:48
of all time. I mean, it's going to wind
37:50
up with, it's already $300 million at the box
37:52
office. King of Kings already, they did $20 million
37:54
in the first week. And of course, this is
37:56
Easter weekend. This is when I'm going to see
37:58
it this weekend with the I'm
38:01
going to go and see it just to support.
38:03
I mean, I've seen it. I just want to
38:05
go and support it. Yeah, for sure. And I
38:07
think there is part of that, right? But they
38:09
always try to demean some of these things. Well,
38:11
these are message movies and people are buying tickets
38:13
and then they're buying tickets for other people. And
38:15
there are people that do that. You can do
38:17
that at angel.com slash stew. You can go there
38:19
and you can actually check. I want to pay
38:21
it forward for other tickets. That's great if you
38:23
want to do that. These
38:26
are just movies that people like and are interested
38:28
in and enjoy. You don't get to be number
38:30
two. Yeah. You know, you might get to be
38:32
number two, but next weekend you'd be off the
38:34
charts because the word of mouth would be so
38:36
bad. And the word of mouth on King of
38:38
Kings is great. Yeah. Still number two, even yesterday.
38:40
And it's increasing because, you know, I mean, obviously
38:42
the tide of Easter helps, but it's a good
38:44
movie that people really like. And,
38:46
and that's much more important than,
38:48
you know, some purity test, you
38:50
know, where you're going to wind
38:52
up wasting millions of dollars on
38:55
a movie that nobody cares about.
38:57
Look at what happened with the
38:59
Mel Gibson movie. What was the
39:01
one? Passion of the Christ? Yeah,
39:03
Passion of the Christ. The
39:05
whole thing was in Aramaic.
39:07
Like four people on the earth
39:10
speak Aramaic. But it was
39:12
such powerful storytelling that it just
39:14
cleaned house at the box
39:16
office. And it wasn't just one
39:18
week or two weeks. It
39:20
went on and on and on
39:22
and on. It's
39:26
interesting to watch and see how we're
39:28
now finding ourselves in the driver's seat with
39:30
storytelling, and they're still out in the
39:32
parking lot kicking rocks going, what the hell
39:34
just happened? Why does Snow White fail? I
39:38
actually hope they don't catch on for a
39:40
while. Let's get some space in between us
39:42
before we catch on. Somewhere
39:44
out there in America, as the sun is
39:46
sinking towards the western horizon, a father
39:48
is grilling burgers in his backyard where the
39:51
flag flies above the fence line. Inside,
39:53
mom sat in the table, kitchen
39:55
filled with laughter and homework and
39:57
stories from school. There's nothing fancy
39:59
going on here. It's just something
40:02
real, something pure, something as American
40:04
as the meat that dad's about
40:06
to put on everybody's plate. Those
40:08
burgers, they came from good ranchers,
40:10
which means they weren't imported overseas.
40:12
They came from cattle raised right
40:14
here in the U .S. That's
40:17
really important because we're losing ranches.
40:19
We're losing farms. We
40:21
lose one ranch, I think
40:23
it's every three hours now.
40:25
That's crazy. This family
40:27
chose to support good ranchers, and ranchers
40:29
they'll never meet, farms they'll never visit,
40:31
because they believe in the idea that
40:34
we can and should care for
40:36
our own and grow our own food. When

Dumping DC's garbage

cries constitutional crisis.
41:08
Beck is back
41:10
after this. We
41:33
should talk about this tomorrow. Autism
41:35
Society of America, the CEO
41:37
says autism is not linked to
41:39
vaccines. I don't know.
41:41
I don't know. You know, did you find it
41:43
was weird that RFK came out and said, we're
41:45
going to find, we're going to get to the
41:47
bottom of autism. We're going to figure this one
41:49
out. We got a lot of work to do
41:51
and I'll have it for you in about 10
41:53
minutes. Right. And you're like, wait, wait. I mean,
41:55
again, like I know this is a big debate
41:57
and everything, but RFK has a very specific opinion
41:59
on the debate yeah It's not like he's just
42:01
you know I'm going look at this and let's
42:03
see what happens he knows what he believes this
42:05
is He's going into it with a belief. so
42:07
Right or wrong first heard part of that sentence,
42:09
I was like oh, you know maybe in the
42:12
end of four years or five years we'll have
42:14
some progress Nope. We'll have an answer by September
42:16
Yeah. Because he's got
42:18
the answer already, right? right. We're going
42:20
to talk to you tonight about the dismantling
42:22
of America you don't want to miss
42:24
the Wednesday night special tonight at night on
42:26
