vintage and rare fashion. eBay.

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

2:29

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

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

41:04

while the swamp

41:06

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

Blaze TV. Glenn Beck.
