Foreign operatives TARGET Blaze Media, beg for MORE CENSORSHIP

As global elites meet for the World Economic Forum's 2024 Davos summit to talk about "rebuilding trust," Glenn is utterly shocked that the global mainstream media is falling in line. Instead of war, inflation, or even their favorite - climate change - the globalists have deemed "misinformation and disinformation" as the biggest global threat over the next 2 years. And of course, by that, they mean anything that disagrees with their narratives. Glenn recently stumbled upon one of the most eye-opening looks at what the globalists have in store for us: a piece from The Independent (a British outlet) titled, "Climate misinformation is mutating on YouTube – and the platform is profiting". The piece argues that YouTube should stop monetizing a "new" breed of climate "misinformation" from so-called climate deniers like Jordan Peterson and Glenn Beck. Their source? Another British group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Glenn warns that this is just the beginning: 2024 is gearing up to be a year of increased global censorship and their number 1 target is Elon Musk. So, he gives you a list of ways you can prepare.

GLENN: This week, you have the Davos gathering. And in Davos the most important thing, this is above climate change and everything else. Is mis and disinformation.

The -- the president of the European Union just spoke at Davos. Said, our freedom comes with risks. The top concern is disinformation and misinformation. As the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner.

The top concern for the next two years, is not conflict. It is not climate.

It is disinformation, and misinformation.

The global risk report says addressing misinformation and disinformation take priority even over extreme weather events. War, terrorist attacks. And inflammation -- inflammation -- inflation.

Got it?

Global warming is an existential threat. Terror attacks like what happened in real and war, inflation, which can collapse your dollar.

All of those things are now secondary to miss and disinformation. For the global business community, the top concern over the next two years, it's disinformation and misinformation. The boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner. And it's more important than ever in the era of generative AI. The World Economic Forum's global risk report puts artificial intelligence as one of the top potential risks of the next decade.

But of the next two years, it's you.

They also called for a global regulatory body to oversee, artificial intelligence. In other words, take control of AI and digital ID systems, akin to vaccine passports.

It is important, she said, to harness and utilize this technology responsibly.

So what does all that mean?

I believe that we are now measuring things in my world, by days and months, not by years.

We are now looking at people labeling us, me, the Daily Wire, anybody you trust, as mis and disinformation. And it is happening in realtime.

We told you a couple of weeks ago, that our spy agencies and our Pentagon are in league with the Five Eyes. And they are doing misinformation, disinformation editing, and also cognitive training.

So they are training the way you think by controlling what you're seeing. Let me give you this story, that just came out from the Independent. This is new today.

Climate misinformation is rapidly mutating across social media.

Allowing nefarious actors to skirt restrictions and continue to profit. According to a new report.

With climate had much driven disasters, now impossible to ignore. Outright denials of climate change no longer hold up with most people.

That's not true. The people who believe in climate change. The people who are believing that this is some sort of disaster, is actually going down.

It has less credibility than ever before. In the murky online realm of climate misinformation. There is a shift in tactics that is in motion.

Researchers analyze thousands of hours of YouTube content from the past six years. And found that old climate crisis denial, which claims that global heating is not happening. And burning fossil fuels is not the cause.

Is giving away to a new type of misleading content, intended to muddy the waters. The report by the nonprofit research group, Center For Countering Digital Hate.

This is the Media Matters, if you will, the new replacement, I think for Media Matters. It comes out of England. But there's also an office here in America.

We'll get into that on a later episode.

They found that this new continual falls into a few broad groups. That the impact of global warming or global heating are beneficial or harmless. The second group is climate solutions won't work. And that climate science and the climate movement can't be trusted.

Those are all mis and mis and disinformation. Client scientists and author Michael Mann describes these new misinformation strategies as the 5D's of inactivism: Deflection, delay, division, despair, and doomism.

They found that videos containing new denial doubled since 2018 on YouTube. In total, there were more than 34,000 climate crisis denial claims on 96 channels that were analyzed, amounting to more than 325 million views.

The shift as been rapid and stark. As old climate denial narratives declined across YouTube. New denial has surged.

The later now accounts for 70 percent of climate misinformation on YouTube. While old denial has dropped 30 percent.

The Imran Ahmed, the CCDH's chief executive explains.

So this story, from The Independent has one source. And it is Media Matters, if you will. This new group that is trying to counter digital hate. There's been a clear shift in the climate misinformation on YouTube in the last six years. Blah, blah. Mr. Ahmed said, the new findings were somewhat optimistic, because they showed that scientists and activists have been successful in conveying the facts of climate change to people.

Climate advocates and policymakers must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate solutions. Let me say that word -- that sentence again.

Climate activists and policymakers must recognize this shift. Or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate solutions.

While climate denial trends were evident across social media, blah, blah -- the study focused on YouTube, which is owned by Google, a platform that has formidable presence as information resources for billions of people, while at the same time being able to reward people on that channel.

Using AI tools trained on climate denial, the study found YouTube is made up to $13.4 million in revenue on videos espousing new types of climate crisis. Google's current policies, which are intended to demonetize and deamplify climate misinformation, do not tackle the new denial. YouTube continues to serve ads on old forms of climate crisis denials, barred under its policies.

Google also announced in 2021, that it would stop monetizing climate crisis denial content.

In a statement to The Independent, a YouTube spokesperson said, our climate change policy prohibits ads from running, blah, blah, blah.

However, when content crosses the line in climate change denial, we stopped showing ads on those videos.

The shift from older tropes on conservative outlet Blaze TV to a brand-new climate denial.

The study analyzed videos made by fossil fuel lobby groups. Media companies. And individual pundits.

One of those highlighted in the report, is Jordan Peterson. The psychiatrist with 7.5 million YouTube subscribers.

His channel typically takes the format of interviews with fellow climate change deniers, where posts have included titles such as the Great Climate Con and the killing -- the poor to save the planet.

The Independent contacted Dr. Peterson for comment. Blaze TV founded by conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, regularly features climate change denial.

Media company has also shared false climbs about the 2020 presidential election. Along with hosting Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

In a video published July 2022 and watched 71,000 times, Mr. Beck claims the Biden administration is using the climate crisis as a cover for government control, and a great reset.

An online conspiracy theory, that claims the global elite is trying to dismantle capitalism, and create a new social order. They do not care about saving the planet.

They know climate change is not going to kill millions around the world. This is about gaining power and control over you.

They are using this so-called emergency to justify a Great Reset, Mr. Beck said, on the video.

The independent, much to my surprise has contacted Blaze TV for comment.

The CCDH, the Center for Disarming Hate, study found that in some cases, YouTube splits ad revenues with the channel, reportedly paying 55 percent to the content creator and retaining 45 percent.

The ads served on the new denial, where major brands like Hilton Hotels, global charities. Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee, they called on YouTube and other social media platforms to update their policies to keep up with the new forms of climate crisis denial, along with removing any financial incentives and reducing their reach and visibility.

People have the right to post this content. But do you have to reward them with money. And give them a megaphone?

They added, we're not blaming Google for not recognizing this. But we want to make some small changes to their policies. Don't reward this content and profit from it.

Let me ask you this. When was the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?

Since he was destroyed by smear tactics. And do we know they're true?

Yes. Did the BBC know they were true back then?

Yes. Did they say they were true -- did he allude that, yeah. He was that kind of guy, and I'm not that kind of guy long before the charges?

Yes. Why is it that when he was all over Davos, ESG, and the global warming thing, why is it he cannot be found anymore?

He's still doing his broadcast, but you don't hear anything about him. This is what I called about three or four years ago, and got hammered for it.

A digital ghetto. That they were going to ghetto any voices they didn't.

It's what the Germans did to the Jews. Look, you have a right to be out and have your place, and you can have your say. Just behind this wall. They were called ghettos. And after they were not seen. They could easily be liquidated.

Now, I hope no one is thinking about liquidation. However, there is a digital wall that is being built.

For voices that disagree, reasonably, and read things differently than the governments want you to read.

For instance, Elon Musk. Elon Musk. This digital hate organization. Do you know who they're after?

Their number one threat. Is Elon Musk.

If you care about global warming. Why would you go after Elon Musk?

Because they care about countering hate, you see.

And Elon Musk, won't play their game.

By the way, our disinformation, the one that we were called all kinds of names for.

Liars, dangerous liars.

We told you that the laptop of Hunter Biden was real. Did you know that just yesterday, the Department of Justice has acknowledged Hunter Biden's laptop content is legitimate.

For the first time yesterday.

Now, who was engaged in disinformation.

The government. Or us.

By the way, the January 6th videos from Capitol Hill.

Prove now, TheBlaze has proven it. That the Capitol police officer lied in the Oath Keeper's trial.

And he wasn't the only one.

And we have released the video. Have you tweeted it?

Have you put it on Instagram. Is it trending anywhere?

Or is that too being suppressed because it's misinformation, even though the video shows it to be absolutely 100 percent provably accurate.

No. So who is lying to you? Us? Or the government?

There's a story out, is corporate ESG investing over?

Here's my answer: No. It's just going to change names. And they're going to do what they always do.

How about this story from Reason. The fiscal hawks were right about debt and interest rate.

We are told that there is pharmaceutical disinformation. That those who disagree with what the government is saying, that we are a danger, to you, because we disagree with them.

How about COVID?

Did you know that Fauci just last week finally admitted that that wasn't a conspiracy theory, that it came from the Chinese labs.

That that wasn't mis and disinformation. Who lied to you, the government or us?

By the way, new story out today from the New York Post. COVID-19 strain kills 100 percent of infected mice, in a new Chinese lab study.

They're still doing it!

Who is lying to you?

Us or them?

World leader met this week.

They're still doing it. To thrash out a plan to protect against disease X. Which they say is a coming pap democratic.

Examine they need all kinds of power.

By the way, open AI CEO, Altman was at Davos. He said, future AI depends on energy breakthroughs. But we all know how dangerous AI is. We all know it.

We've watched the movies.

It's the elites that want control of it. That's one of their objectives this week at Davos.

To control it. And at Davos, the Microsoft CEO said, there's nothing that cannot be controlled by humankind.

Basically, let me translate: We are gods.
There is only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. One God. And they do not serve them. Now, an important warning coming next.
Cyber crime is the gift that keeps on giving, even after you get what they've taken back, if you get it back.

You can still be looking at a damaged credit rating, compromised employment background checks, things like that.

You might not even be able to pay your bills online.

Then that piles up.

That's why it's so much better to have LifeLock. Your personal information is exposed so often. Making it really easy for cyber criminals to steal your identity.

But protecting yourself can be easy with LifeLock by Norton.

LifeLock detects and alerts you to the threats you might not spot on your own. Things like loans taken out in your name, or cyber criminals pretending to be you. Don't become a victim of identity theft. Get a US-based restoration specialist to work to fix it. If somehow or another, they miss it, at LifeLock.

They -- they can't stop everything. But they're the best in the business. Protect yourself thousand. And save 25 percent with your first year with promo code Beck. 800LifeLock. 800LifeLock. Or LifeLock.com.

GLENN: American hostages still held in Gaza, day 103.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

If you missed the first half-hour of this broadcast. I urge you to go back and listen to that first half-hour. On the podcast today. It's wherever you find your podcasts currently.

And it is a very important monologue. Let me pick it up now, on part two of it. Let me tell you what just happened in Canada.

Jordan Peterson has, in his attempt to have the Ontario Justice System prevent the college of psychologists of Ontario from ordering him to undergo remedial social media training, has lost his bid. Panel of three judges in the Court of Appeals dismissed his motion for leave, to appeal an earlier instigation by the Ontario Divisional Court. No reason was given. So this is giving Canada and Trudeau, it's giving all of the regulatory body, and any organization that has -- you have to have a license, much broader field to be very, very aggressive.

Now, there is no free speech in Canada. This is now codified by this court. Over the course -- this is what they got him on.

Over the course of 2022, the college which governs the conduct of psychologists practicing in Ontario, received a number of complaints about Peterson's online behavior. The concerned tweets include: His tweet about a plus-sized Sports Illustrated model whom he said was not beautiful.

Elliot Page's gender transition, who he said had her breasts removed by, what he called a criminal physician. There are also complaints about his views on climate change and aggressive conduct towards Gerald Butts, prime minister Justin Trudeau's former principle secretary.

They investigated those complaints is felt that he needed to go into a reeducation camp, or lose his license.

Why doesn't he just give up his license?

Because then you abandon a very important licensed group of people, doctors. Once you get people of conscience out, you can do anything.

They've already purged the doctors who disagreed with listening to the government, and listening to big pharm about only one way to treat COVID. They've already got rid of those people. They have gotten rid of the doctors and the nurses that wouldn't wear masks, when distance six feet said that was nonsense.

We now know it is. They got rid of the doctors who said, this does not look like it came from bats. This looks like it was designed in a laboratory. They got rid of all of those people.

You cannot keep getting rid of doctors and psychiatrists who have a conscience.

That's what's happening. And they're doing it to now those of us who speak out to try to tell you the truth, as we perceive it.

These are opinions. But you cannot have opinions anymore.

They say, that I'm a climate denier, climate change denier. No. Climate is always changing. Always.

I disagree, and I have since An Inconvenient Book. Which was printed, what?

In 2008?

STU: I thought it was a couple years before that, actually.

GLENN: Okay. So since this. I wrote a whole book about climate change and Al Gore.

And I say in it, that I agree, that climate is changing. It always is it. And I can read a thermometer. At that time, it was going up.

But I think that all of the solutions are insane!

Because it will cripple. Cripple society.

Cripple all modernity. What did they get me on here, Stu?

STU: From the report.

GLENN: Yeah. From the report, the independent is now reporting that I'm being monitored and watched, because I'm dangerous.

STU: As if you don't know your evils.

This is -- I'm looking through the report. Here's one of the things they say makes you guilty.

Quote, if we try to go without fossil fuels in our lifetime, you're going to see the standard of living plummet. You're going to see our security plummet. And it's going to be a disaster, end quote.

GLENN: Yep. That's my opinion.

But apparently, that's misinformation. This has, I mean, that's an incredible one. Because in our lifetime. What are you?

You have to be five years from death?

GLENN: I'm not suicidal, by the way.

STU: No. But seriously. What are you talking about. In the next 40 years, right?

That would be a hell of a transition. By any standard, that if you transitioned completely away from fossil fuels, in the next 40 years. By the way, the way you phrase this. You're not even limiting a transition possibility.

You're just saying, it can't happen that quickly.

GLENN: Yeah, I was talking about 2030 and 2035.

STU: So I think that's a pretty defensible opinion.

But also, it's just an opinion. It's just what you think might happen in these circumstances.

GLENN: That's what I do for a living.

STU: Then we have, let's see.

Beck this is incredible. Beck falsely claims there's been zero warming for over a decade. Media Matters for America is the source of this claim.

April 23rd 2010.

Now, I happen to just -- just for the fun of it. Go back to 2010.

When you made this claim.

You would be talking about the -- 2009. Would not have been released yet. You would be talking about the decade of 1998 to 2008.

In 1998, we were plus 0.63 degrees Celsius. In 2008, we were plus 0.55 degrees Celsius. So actually, there was -- pretty slight. Again, you were not saying, there was no climate change. You were just saying, in the decade you were talking about.

There had been no warming across the globe.

That is from the NOAA. NOAA.gov, if you check it out.

GLENN: Well, that's disinformation. Because it disagrees. Now, listen, here's the important thing. I can't believe I'm telling you this, and I've subtly been telling you for a while that it's coming.

It's no longer coming.

It is here.

I started TheBlaze to be the Alamo.

To only rely on you. That they would crush us, every way they can.

And they are going to.

They are starting to. My Facebook page is down 95 percent. Now, there's no way that is true. We are having our best year ever. The last three years, have been tremendous growth.

We have more listeners and viewers than we've ever had. Even when we were at Fox. Ask yet, my Facebook page is down 95 percent. The only metric that is down, is social ahead. Isn't that weird? Everything else is skyrocketing up. Social media is down.

By the way, Facebook at one point, they brought me out to Silicon Valley to talk to their people, correct me if I'm misstating this. To find out how we were overindexing Facebook.

I went, and I thought I was going to join a meeting and I was going to ask them, how can we better -- and they said, no. We called you. You didn't call this meeting. We called you here. We wanted to know how you are overindexing. What is it that you're doing, we want to study it.

Okay. We've gone from that to down 95 percent. Wow. That's weird.

All of a sudden, we've become morons on social media, even though we run a social media empire!

Hmm. That's weird.

Listen, first thing you have to do is go to my email and newsletter. It's free. This story is, I think, the last story in it.

Or you can find it in the independent, and go look for all of the shows we've done recently, on what our government is doing.

This is the Canadian and the European. Government targeting Google to silence us.

Now, we also have this pressure in the United States.

You need to know what's true and what's not. You need to alert your friends. You have -- you can do it on social media.

But I would private DM them.

I would put it on X. Because you know it will go through on X.

I would subscribe to my free email newsletter. Not because I want to tell you, but I need to know how to contact you, if we lose touch.

I would also switch primarily to X. That is troublesome as well. Because while this organization planted or did this story, independently, with the independent.

I went to their website. Their number one target, is Elon Musk.

This is not going to happen, because of global warming.

This is a priority, mainly in America. And the rest of the world. Because of Donald Trump.

Look at what they're doing to Trump.

You don't think they'll silence people.

It will be troublesome for them.

As they've said in their own word.

It will be troublesome. Because they have large yawns.

But the private sector needs to figure it out.

And that's why Google and YouTube and everybody else, is going to receive the pressure. Already have.

Facebook down 95 percent.

Because our voices must be silenced.

Because Donald Trump this year, possess a great threat to their power.

But also have some money in Bitcoin.

I would begin to listen for what must become subtle.

I have a ham radio. Do you?

I have a CB. Do you?

I think -- I'm learning to play the piano now, but I think I should stop and learn smoke signals. We must be able to communicate with each other. The last is: My piece of advice to you, that I urge you, please, listen.

Get close to Christ.

Clear out all of the things you fear could be exposed.

Clear out all of the mistakes that you have made.

Use the atonement and redemption.

Use it. It's a free gift.

It will take away many of your fears. Of, well, I have to do this.

Because this could come out.

Get rid of it. Top it.

Just clean it up, right now.

Because as much as many of us in this business like to think we're replaceable. Or unreplaceable.

We are very replaceable.

And I am urging you to become my replacement.

I'm urging you now to do the things, where you will be a credible source, in your own circle.

You must do research.

You must not just hop a bandwagon. You must root yourself in the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence, if you want to save our country.

If you want to save souls, and people, then root yourself in the gospel. My recommendation is both.

But I am very replaceable. You won't like the replacement. You must become the replacement.

Glenn's POWERFUL Easter Message for the Lost & Lonely

This Easter and Good Friday, Glenn speaks to the lonely, those in despair, those who have dealt with pain for far too long. He was once in that same place. But the message of Easter, he says, isn’t just history. It’s our story, if we surrender and come to Christ. Glenn ponders the weight Jesus must have felt on Thursday night as he knew what was coming on Friday. As he walked through the garden, as he was betrayed, as he was beaten by the Romans, abandoned by his own people and disciples, and nailed to a cross. But he had a purpose for all of it. And just like he called Mary’s name at the empty tomb on Sunday, he calls to you today. “He’s alive and He’s waiting, scars and all, arms open,” Glenn says. “Give it up and walk away from all that haunts you. Surrender. Live.”

GLENN: So last night, Jews all over the world gathered for Passover. So I want you to picture Jerusalem 2000 years ago, at Passover. And the air is heavy with the aroma of unleavened bread. And the streets are buzzing. Because people have come from all over Israel, to be there.

The sun sinks. It's casting a golden glow. But a shadow is hanging over one man, because he knows what's coming.

Jesus. What must his -- what must the weight of last night have been like?

For the man, Jesus. Because he knows what's ahead. The nails. The thorns. All of it.

Yet, he presses on.

Why?

Because that's the deal he made.

That he loves us. He was the one that could bring us back home.

That's tremendous love.

And a love so relentless that it defies death itself. So it's Thursday night. Passover meal. Jesus gathers his 12 disciples in an upper room. Oil lamps flickering casting long shadows. They eat. They laugh. They're unaware of the betrayal that is sitting at the same table with them. And Jesus breaks the bread. His hands aren't shaking. His voice is steady. His eyes are heavy.

And he says something that must have been very odd. This is my body. Broken for you.

They each have some of the bread. Then he lifts the wine. This is my blood, shed for you.

What was going through their mind?

Remember, they're looking for the messiah.

They -- some of them believe that he is the messiah. The Son of God.

You know, I can't speak for Judas. But they're expecting a warrior. And they -- they're not expecting this.

They're waiting for something big to happen, that not this.

The weight of it, must have been crushing to him, being there alone.

Nobody understands. So he goes to Gethsemane. It's an olive who don't have to. And it's right on the top of the hill, overlooking the Temple Mount. And he leaves the Apostles, just says, pray with me.

And he leaves them. And goes off himself.

And he collapses to his knees, under the twisted branches of these trees. And the moon is hanging low by now. The night, silent. Except, perhaps for his silent and ragged breathing.

And that's when he says, Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.

You know, it says that blood came out of every pore.

And I never understood that. I thought maybe it was a metaphor or something when I was younger.

It's actually, it's not a metaphor. It's a real, very rare condition, where extreme stress will rupture all of the capillaries right underneath your skin, so you actually sweat blood. That's the pressure he was under.

His body had to have been trembling and racked with anguish and pain. He's not just sweating. He's bleeding all of us clean. He begs for escape. And then he knows.

And he says, your will, not mine.

Why? Because he knew we were going to need it. And here we are with our secrets, our shame. He saw us, and he chooses the cross.

And Judas slinks in, his kiss, he knew.

He said somebody, earlier. Some -- one person at this table is going to betray me tonight.

So the soldiers swarming, torches are blazing, swords are drawn. Peter grabs one of the swords, and he actually cuts the ear off of one of the soldiers. And Jesus stops him. Stop it!

That's not my path. And he picks up the ear, and he hears. He heals the soldier.

They bind him. They drag him through the streets. Sanhedrin's trial. Just total farce. False witnesses.

You know, spit, fists, everything else.

Caliphas nears. Are you the Son of God? And Jesus says something that seals his fate: You have said it yourself.

Truth, not blasphemy. Truth. That saves us. Not him. So my -- he's before Pilate.

Bloodied and silenced. This happens. Back and forth, until this time of day. And the crowd is beginning to gather. And they're screaming crucify him.

And Pilate washes his hands.

But no water erases that stain. Jesus is then scourged.

Whips, studded with metal. Just shred his skin.

I'm on my way, in two weeks, to see the shroud of Turin.

The actual shroud of Turin.

And I believe that to be actually the burial cloth. After you study it, a little bit. Just even a little bit.

You see what has been done to prove or disprove. And the best they can say is, you know, on the -- on the negative side is, I don't know.

I don't know how it happens.

They mock him. They drape him in a purple robe.

His back is just shredded. His legs, on both sides, his chest.

They jam a crown of thrones into his scalp. And these aren't little roses. I think they're called Bethlehem thorns. And they're like three, 4 inches.

And they just push it into his scalp. Blood is streaming down his face now.

But he still has burning eyes, purpose for you. The cross -- part of the cross, lay across his shoulders. Splintered. It's heavy. He stumbles. Every single step is a testament to love. Somebody is pulled out of the crowd, Simon is pulled out of the crowd. He's forced to carry it.

But Jesus is still bearing all the weight of what's coming. At Golgotha, the place of the skull, nails are actually put through his wrist. And then through his feet.

Can you imagine what that he felt like to just have the -- the -- the vibration of that hammering? And I've always seen when they slide the cross into the ground. And it settles. You know, his shoulder was dislocated, they think, in the streets. So, you know, the only way you breathe, on a cross, is you have to force yourself to stand up straight, as much as you can. Because once you start to sag down, your lungs start to collapse.

And so with a dislocated shoulder. He's pulling himself up, so he can breathe.

Jeez. The sky is darkening now. He's -- he's executed with two thieves, one on each side.
One mocks him. The other one says, remember me!

And at that moment, Jesus is offering grace. Can you imagine? Today, you'll be with me in paradise.

He's dying, and he's saving. He sees his mom, standing below.

John is beside her. Praise again. Jesus looks down and says, woman, behold your son.

Love, even in agony. The crowd cheers. Save yourself! Save yourself! If you're God, save yourself! He doesn't, because of us. Because of me. Because of you. He saw us. He knew we were going need to this. He takes it. For him to really be man and suffer, he had to be separated from God at this point. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Jeez. God didn't turn away from him. He turned from the sin that he was bearing, our sin. And at the ninth hour, he just says, it is finished! Victory, not defeat. The debt is paid.

The temple veil tears. God's presence is unleashed. The earthquakes. Rocks split. Centurion stands at the foot. Says, surely, this was the Son of God.

They pierce his side, just to make sure that he was dead.

Joseph of Arimathea lays him in the tomb. And they sealed him up. Sealing hope, away. Disciples have no idea what's going on. No idea. They're hunted now. Are we going to die like that? I thought he was the savior? What is happening? Now he's dead. Nothing more humiliating than being crucified to a tree. That was the most humiliating thing that could happen. That's clearly not the savior. The disciples scatter, broken, the world falls silent. Is this the end? No. More in a minute. You know, selling your house used to be simple. You mowed the lawn. You vacuumed all the carpet. Shoved everything into a closet, and hoped nobody noticed.

Done. Now, mood lightning, seasonal throw pillows. Story yard for the dining room. Strangers walk in and feel like your home is, you know, a cozy candle commercial, I guess.

GLENN: So imagine, just on Easter. On Palm Sunday. He's riding in triumphant. And everybody is so high. And saying, wow. This is going to be great.

Now he's dead. Now he's in a tomb. Now it's sealed. Silent.

The apostles are like, what just happened?

It's only been 24 hours!

Disciples are -- they hide.

Hope buried with Jesus. Mary Magdalene weeps. Her heart is just raw. Her world now feels empty.

But there's a pulse in the air. There is a pulse in the air. Mary has been sleepless, broken. She walks to the tomb, sits pre-dawn. She has spices in her hand to anoint his body. Final act of love, and the ground quakes as she gets close. She falters, her breath catches. What is it? And the stone is rolled back.

Now the tomb's mouth is gaping open. And her heart lurches. Oh, grave robbers?

She runs to Peter and John. She says, they've taken him! They race. John outruns Peter.

Pierced inside the linen cloth, folded. The head cloth, separate, but empty.

Peter barrels in. Baffled. The tomb is hallow. No trace of Jesus anywhere! They leave. Days.

Mary is just stunned. She just stays there. She doesn't know. She can't abandon him. Where is he?

She's sobbing, and the sobs are echoing off the stone, and then there was movement.

Two radiant figures are sitting where Jesus was supposed to be laying.

Woman, why are you weeping?

She turns. She thinks it's a gardener.

She says, sir, if you have moved him. Just tell me where.

It's not a gardener. It's Jesus. And he just says one word. Mary. Soft, alive. Her breath stops. Those eyes that voice. It's Jesus.

Rabbi! Teacher! He's alive. Flesh and bone. Scars and all.

He says, go tell the others.

She runs, bursting, I've seen him!

The disciples have locked themselves away, fear choking them. Suddenly, you know, Jesus is amongst them.

He shows them the hands, the feet. The nail marks remain proof of his love. How could he live?

This is a very rough and short telling of probably the most story -- not probably. The most important story in all of human history. But it's our story.

It's -- the only story, probably that matters. He's already done all the hard work. He bled, literally from every pore, carried our sin, faced the cross, shattered the tomb.

Death couldn't hold him!

Nothing can!

And just like he said, Mary. He's calling your name.

I don't need it. I'm fine.

And perhaps, maybe that's try for you right now. But there will come a time, in all of our lives where despair will overtake us. Where our mistakes will just seem to be just too overwhelming.

Lay it down. Lay down all of the lies that you now believe about yourself, that you're not enough, that your mistakes define you, that your pain and loneliness are yours forever. Because that's who you are, really.

They're not with you forever. It is the strangest thing. Everything true with God is usually the opposite.

Don't fight. Surrender.

Surrender. It's hard to let go of the shame that you've carried your whole life. Or the wounds you've nursed. The voices that you whisper to yourself.

Because at least it was in my life. That's all you know. They probably have been with you for so long, that you believe that that's all you are. And without them, what are you?

Nothing. There's nothing else inside. I'm not good enough.

There's nothing else good inside.

I'm just this. Lies.

This Easter, I just want to leave with you this message: I've made that awful, awful journey. And it is not easy. But it is so worth it. This weekend, I encourage I to listen to hear his voice. Soft as it was for Mary. Fierce as it was on the cross. Let it go! Come to me. Step out of the shadows. Lay down the weight. It's not about being perfect. It's about being his. And he's already paid the price. He's fought the battle. Won the victory. Now all you have to do is surrender, because he is alive. He is waiting. Scars and all, open arms, come to him. Give it all up, and walk away. Surrender. And live.

How So-Called 'Free Trade' DESTROYED American Jobs | Glenn TV | Ep 427

As the markets spin from President Trump’s tariff strategy and the globalists clutch their pearls, Glenn Beck zooms out to see the bigger picture — the story of how elite-driven trade policies over the last 30 years gutted America’s middle class. Deals like NAFTA and China’s WTO entry sounded like progress to a lot of people, but they left devastation in their wake, killing jobs, draining small towns, and fueling an opioid epidemic in the heartland. To understand Trump’s tariffs, you have to understand the real human cost behind tens of thousands of shuttered U.S. factories and the erosion of the American dream. No one knows the toll of the real human cost better than journalist Salena Zito, who wrote in the Washington Post, “What I learned about ‘America First’ in a Pennsylvania steel mill.” U.S. Steel workers who once opposed Japan’s investment now welcome it because “if this deal doesn’t happen, these jobs will be gone.” She rejects the claim that Americans don’t want manufacturing jobs anymore and are scared of Trump’s tariffs. “There’s a very different feel in the middle of the country. ‘This might pinch now, but this is better not just for my kids, grandchildren — this is better for my country.’” Glenn argues Trump’s tariffs aren’t just policy — they’re a rebellion against managed decline and a high-stakes gamble to restore American self-reliance.

Did the Media Bury the Truth About a Maryland Man’s MS-13 Connections?

The Legacy Media has been reporting nonstop about a “Maryland man,” Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the Trump administration “wrongfully deported” to El Salvador. But they’re leaving out many key details, including how he’s an illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, how he allegedly beat his wife, how he faced deportation in 2019, and how he could have been deported anywhere else without issue. Glenn separates what we know from what’s still unproven. Plus, he and Stu comment on Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who took a completely unsuccessful trip to El Salvador to try and free this man instead of listening to a woman from his state whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. Is this really what the Left is standing for?!

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. So Stu, help me out on the Maryland man.

Because --

STU: You're talking about the Maryland father?

GLENN: The Maryland father. The Maryland father.

STU: Why didn't you include he was a father? You have to include that he was a father.

GLENN: I know. He was a father. And he's an immigrant.

STU: And a husband.

GLENN: And a husband.

Okay.

STU: Thank you.

GLENN: Well, there are some things that we know. And some things that we don't know.

You know, the media will, for instance, his wife swore out of, you know, a -- a protection order against him.

You know, but only a couple of -- you know, only a couple of them.

You know, bays he was apparently beating her. But, you know, that -- you know, that's without any new answer.

I don't know. Do you need nuance with the domestic abuse thing?

STU: Not really, no.

GLENN: No. I really don't. You know, the one thing that you -- I don't know. I don't know.

We know that he entered the US illegally.

We don't know when he entered.

STU: Yeah. There's some reports between 2011 and 2014, some places are reporting both numbers.

GLENN: Yes, correct.

We know that he was working as a roofer.

Okay.

We know in 2019, he faced deportation proceedings in Baltimore. But was granted a withholding of a removal order.

So he couldn't be deported to El Salvador. The MS-13 affiliation. That's unproven.

It is based on some evidence. But weak.

You know, unless you believe in the informant.

I mean, we had to believe every single whistle-blower under Biden.

But this one. No. No. No.

STU: Yeah. They released some documents too, that basically say, he was an MS-13.

Those are, of course. Essentially, the accusations, of course.

They come from the police.

These are the -- these are their observations of him.

It doesn't mean it went through.

It was proven in a court of law or anything.

This is what they believed.

They believe, he was arrested, I believe, one time.

With someone who was a known MS-13 member.

GLENN: That happens to all of us.

STU: That happens to me all the time.

GLENN: Yeah. But he's a good guy.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: We bowl every single Tuesday night.

STU: I got a couples massage the other day. With a known MS-13 member.

GLENN: Or a couple.

STU: No. The price -- you get a discount.

GLENN: Oh, you get a discount.

STU: Together.
(laughter)
I mean, it is unlikely.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: It's not impossible. But unlikely that he was not affiliated with these -- they don't -- I will say though, they don't have like the greatest evidence of all time on this. This is not like an open and shut, we definitely know. I would say, it's more likely than not.

GLENN: What. What.

STU: Again, the standard here, when you are an illegal immigrant is you don't get all the Constitutional protections that are against.

GLENN: Right. You're an illegal.

STU: You're an illegal immigrant. And we do know, for certain.

This is something that he has admitted.
He -- he crossed into the country, illegally.

Which is a crime.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: That we know, he has admitted to it.

And there's no disagreement on whether he should have been really deported or not.

Now, of course, the family is saying all sorts of things. His defenders are saying some stuff.

But like, there's no question, that he could have been deported.

The question was, whether he should have been deported to El Salvador or not.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, he's from El Salvador, so I guess he could work that out.

STU: Well, I mean, when Trump was president, they went through a hearing. And said, he shouldn't be deported to El Salvador. Now, I believe that this was based on, this guy lying a lot.

And saying that his mother's pupusas stand was being harassed. Yes, it was being harassed.

She was being harassed, back in 2011.

GLENN: Yeah. Pupusas.

Isn't that what Native Americans carry their babies in? Like a pupusas stand or something like that?

SARA: That's a papoose.

STU: What's a pupusas?

SARA: A food, I guess.

GLENN: Wow, don't go across those cultures, it could get very dicey quickly. Sorry, mistranslation.

STU: Just like when you mess up humus and Hamas. Like, there's only one letter, but there's a lot going on there.

GLENN: Right. But it's a big difference. It's a big difference.

STU: Pupusas is a thick, grilled, or fried tortilla from El Salvador, particularly made with cornmeal, or rice flour.

And stuffed with various fillings like beans, cheese, or pork.

GLENN: Don't really need to know all of this. You can stop at any time.

STU: That was the best part of the story. What are you talking about? It kind of sounds interesting.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Her pupusas stand was being harassed by a local gang.

Again, this is his telling. And they were threatening to kill this guy. He left. And he believes, if he goes back to El Salvador, they will kill him. Now, of course, the pupusas stand is not even open anymore. So it doesn't even exist.

GLENN: Yeah, so they're probably not carrying that grudge.

STU: What a weird grudge to carry all these years.

GLENN: Pupusas stand still bothers me -- I've been retired over ten years, but still bothers me to this day.

Let me ask you, if he was -- because he claimed that he was here for asylum. But he never claimed asylum until they arrested him, and then he was like, have you heard the story of the pupusas stand?

STU: Right. So it sounds awfully fishy to me. And if I were the immigration judge, I would probably not have said, he cannot be deported to El Salvador.

That being said, a judge, and this was when Trump was still president. This is not a Biden thing. Said, you can't deport him there.

So we probably should not have deported him there.

By the way, this is something the Trump administration has admitted to.

Admitted to making a mistake.

That's okay. It sucks for the guy. This is why the family is upset about it.

GLENN: Yeah. Welcome home.

STU: That being said, there's not a lot of evidence, that he's a wonderful human being. And should be treated as they're treating him.

GLENN: Sure. Domestic violence.

But that wasn't really proven.

STU: It was just accused by his wife. Who is now -- now, it's, of course -- accused him of domestic violence before.

Now, I can't believe --

GLENN: I walked into a door.

Happened to me all the time. Fell down the stairs. That happens.

Anyway, Patti Murin. Well, her daughter was killed. And here's what she said, yesterday, from the White House.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Tell the truth. Tell -- (inaudible).

VOICE: This is subjecting our children. It's more than just politics or votes. Or just anything.

It's about national security. Protecting Americans. Protecting our children.

Thank you.

VOICE: Thank you.

GLENN: Please tell the truth.

VOICE: Share your daughter's story. And I think the country hears you loud and clear. So thank you. Does anyone have any questions for Patty, or for me? No.

STU: No questions.

GLENN: No questions.

STU: Questions whatsoever.

GLENN: Not going to ask the mom, because I'll lose in that argument, because it's not really about finding the truth. It's about fashioning an argument, and I'm not going to be the one that questions mom with the dead daughter. Yeah, that's what they were thinking. No. No questions here. Don't look at me.

STU: Well, they're not interested.

Same thing with -- you know Chris Van Hollen, right? Would you have known his name last week?

GLENN: No. Uh-uh.

STU: I love this one, because I -- Chris Van Hollen is a senator.

GLENN: Uh-huh, from a state. Right.

STU: From a state. Who would have known?

GLENN: Yeah. Not even that state.

I'm not even sure that the people in his state are all that quick.

STU: I think if you went to the political media apparatus of this country and asked, who is Chris Van Hollen? 95 percent of them would have said, who?

As of last week, but what I -- he's actually become my favorite part of the story. Which is this pathetic attempt to take a vacation to El Salvador. And try to free him or something.

He will bring him back. And he goes into El Salvador. And just nobody pays any attention to him. He just is totally ignored.

It's like if John Cusack went up and held up the boom box bit window. And Say Anything. And the girl was just not home. It's just a pathetic -- what a loser this guy is. And he goes down there, and gets absolutely nothing done. He flies all the way down there for them to tell him, what are you even doing here? No. We're not going to listen to you. Who are I, by the way?

Who is Chris van Hollen? Then the entire time, he's ignoring the families of people who have been murdered, in -- his own constituents.

Family members that have been murdered by illegal immigrants.

They don't get calls. They don't get mentions on his Twitter. They get nothing.

And he flies all the way down there, to try to free this guy, who is beating his wife. Allegedly, and was -- was here, illegally, not allegedly, he admitted that. And maybe most likely was a member of MS-13. Okay. We see the priorities of the left. This is what it is.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: They care about that type of person. But not the family, who had their -- their, you know, daughter or son.

Or other family member murdered.

They don't care.

GLENN: Isn't it -- isn't it fascinating what they're choosing to stand for?

STU: It is.

GLENN: I mean, it really -- you just can't -- how do you argue?

You're on the other side.

Hang on just a second.

So you're with the guy who came here illegally. Maybe we don't have everything rock solid here. But this is the pattern, and he's also not an American citizen.

So, you know, ship him back.

But what -- what, you're standing up for. That's the most important, out of all of the things that are going on.

And you're not -- you're reporting on that, day and night. But you're not reporting on the mother, who had her daughter killed. Brutally killed.

You're not reporting on that at all?

Really?

Wow! That's -- that's incredible! Incredible!

I mean, you can't -- you cannot make this stuff up.

STU: Also, I just want to let you know. We're 3 miles away from a pupusas stand.

GLENN: Are we really?

STU: We can get pupusas to the studio, at any moment.

GLENN: The babies?

STU: No. We're not going to get -- why -- no, why would we -- we're not going to bring the babies in. No.

GLENN: Okay. I just want to make sure. Because I don't want you eating any babies.

Because I've heard you. I can just eat you up. And I'm like, no, don't do it. Don't do it. I've got a whole stand of babies.

Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Yeah. I've heard it from you.

Oh, who will eat the leg? Who will eat leg? That's you.

STU: No. No.

Glenn, I don't think people necessarily know, that when you chose to move the studios here to Texas, you decided to put them in the most diverse city in America.

GLENN: That's what I chose. That's what I chose. I said, where could we find?

Where? What ZIP code is the most diverse in the entire country?

I said, that's where I want to build my studios! And lo and behold, they were built right here in 1982, and we occupied them as soon as we got here.

STU: Yes. Well, you could have moved anywhere, Glenn. This is literally the most diverse city in America.

GLENN: Do you have a pupusas stand, within 3 miles of you?

STU: Probably not. We do.

GLENN: I can get Korean barbecue, pupusas stuff.

STU: Indian food. Asian food. Anything we want.

GLENN: Anything we want right here. Barbecue. Whatever we want.

STU: It's all right here.

I'm afraid if we go to the pupusas stand. Will we get terrorized by a gang?

Or will we just get a bunch of babies?

GLENN: No, I think they might terrorize us with a bunch of babies. Here, eat this. Wait. I don't want --

STU: A gang of babies.

GLENN: Yeah, that's what happens.

This is the mean streets. It's the life we live. You know, don't cry for me Argentina.

New Evidence: Is ADHD a Scam to Feminize Our Boys?

Is ADHD a scam? As diagnosis levels (and Adderall sales) have skyrocketed, the New York Times recently reported that experts are now questioning whether they’ve been thinking about ADHD all wrong. Glenn and Stu debate whether the real cause of ADHD symptoms is not a chemical imbalance, but instead how we treat our boys. As pointed out in commentary from the Daily Wire, our education system has been feminized, our kids have been distracted by smart phones, and our doctors have pushed medication on them. Maybe the real solution is much simpler: let boys be boys!

GLENN: So even though Stu doesn't want you to hear this news.

STU: I don't.

GLENN: Doesn't want you to hear this news. Because he hates children.

STU: I do? I have two of them.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, Mengele liked them in pairs too. So...

STU: Wow. That went really dark, really fast.

GLENN: I do have --

STU: We're like ten seconds into the hour.

GLENN: I'm like launching nuclear weapons. Yeah. We should probably build up to that one.

Anyway, there's a new article out now that talks about ADHD. And it's come from the left.

And the experts. That they're now starting to say, I don't know.

Maybe -- maybe -- maybe not everything we thought was true, about ADHD. And I think this story was written by Matt Walsh, who was great.

Whoever wrote this for the daily wire was great.

More than 21 percent of 14-year-old boys in this country, now supposedly suffer from ADHD. The number goes up to 23 percent for 17-year-old boys. As a result, prescriptions for drugs like Ritalin and Adderall has skyrocketed. Just want you to know, that's speed.

From 2012 to 2022, the total number of prescriptions for stimulants, to treat ADHD increased dramatically by nearly 60 percent. From 2012, in a ten-year period, we've gone up with 60 percent prescription.

Between the ages of 10 to 14, the demographic saw the highest increase in these prescriptions. So he writes, and I think this is such a great observation. For decades, you have been instructed to believe that there's no significance to this correlation whatsoever. And here it is: As women increasingly enter the workforce and replace men in teaching jobs, we're not supposed to dray any conclusions about how the behavior of male children is now being addressed.

The truth is, we've been told, not that effeminized education system has increasingly punished normal male behavior it doesn't understand. It's not that schools have lost their capacity to educate male students, it's that -- it's not that smartphone use and electronics in general have become distractions. Teachers have been unable to control.

Instead, we're led to believe that boys have suddenly become afflicted with a severe psychological disorder.

Okay. I -- you know, this is the first time, I had ever heard this about, you know, how we effeminized things. And we have. We have diminished boys, but I grew up in a school. I don't think I had a male teacher until I was in high school. I had all-female teachers. There weren't a lot of nuns that were, oh, my gosh. I remember that really -- I remember that really male-like -- maybe she was a man, but identified as a nun.

I'm not sure.

STU: You, of course -- to put it gently, are not exactly a recent student -- you know.

GLENN: It's better than where I thought he was going, Sara. I thought he was going, you're not really a man.

STU: No. But you're right. There are --

GLENN: Right.

STU: There are surely more female teachers just because of the workforce changes. That was a pretty -- all my teachers that I could remember were female too.

GLENN: Right. One thing that has changed though, is we just dismiss boys entirely.

I mean, it's all focused on girls, right now. All of it. It's science. Everything is just push the girls. Push the girls.

You can be anything. Shut up, sit down. Have some Ritalin. To the boys.

And that's a problem. I have to tell you, as a parent, you probably have recognized this. Does Lisa understand your daughter better than you do, and I understand your son?

STU: I get the point you're going at. I don't necessarily that it -- some ways she understands my daughter. We talk about this often.

GLENN: Because I walk in. I am just clueless. I have no idea. I walk in as a dad, and I'm like, hey, put some pants on, will you? And my daughter is like (crying). And I'm like, what the hell did I just say?

And my wife just looks at me like, you don't say that to her. I'm like, okay. But she'll say that to my son, and my son doesn't go (crying).

STU: Right. They're different.

GLENN: I know. They are. They are.

And I can relate -- for instance, my wife she will say something. And I know how she means it. Because I'm an adult.

But I can hear what Rafe hears.

STU: Right. Yes.

GLENN: Because I heard it from my mom, and I realized, no, that's not what my mom meant.

But you hear, pick up your room! You're always a mess. You're always this. And that's not what she said, you know what I mean? It's true.

It's not --

STU: As they get sound bite teenage years, in particular. It's really difficult.

GLENN: That's what I mean. Is the teenage years.

I have no idea.

Like I had no idea how mean girls are. Oh, my gosh.

They are vicious. I would much rather be put into a room of rabid boys.

Than normal girls. They are dangerous!

STU: Guys can be jerks, but they are --

GLENN: They're stupid jerks.

STU: Yeah, it's just kind of nonsensical stuff.

Girls dig. They dig for the wounds.

Yeah.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. They'll cut you open, and then they'll eat your heart while you're still watching.

I mean, it's horrible.

Anyway, so the article goes on to say, about how some of these -- some of these studies.

And they point one out.

The University of Central Florida conducted a grand experiment where they put a child in front of a computer. And it shows the video in this.

The research -- by the way, you can get this article at GlennBeck.com. You just sign up for my free email newsletter. Get all the stories we talk about every day.

Research shows the child two separate videos. One was a video about mathematics, and it involves a teacher talking about basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

The other video was the pod racing scene from Star Wars.

Now, you'll never guess what they discovered.

STU: Oh, what did they discover?

GLENN: They discovered that when the math lecture was going on, the kids started spinning in his chair. And he was fidgeting, and not paying attention. But when the child was watching the pod --

STU: Oh, my gosh. ADD.

GLENN: Yes. Something deeply psychologically wrong that kid, right?

STU: You're telling me, when they showed the one good scene from the first prequel, they were interested. Wow, it's shocking.

GLENN: The rest of the movie is like math.

STU: Yeah, give me the one that is the pod racing scene versus the trade dispute scene from the Star Wars. Why go to anything else? Just do the Star Wars scene.

GLENN: Right. It doesn't prove anything.

STU: It proves, that there wasn't a lot of good scenes in the first Star Wars.

GLENN: Wait a minute. I just did a study with my kids. They like sugary cereal over Bran Flakes.

STU: Oh, my gosh. They can't stand focused on the Bran Flakes.

GLENN: No, I have to get them on LSD or something.

STU: We are looking for these diagnoses. To diagnosis kids in this way, I think often. It doesn't mean that there aren't some that have these types of issues. You know, when you refer to that article. You said Matt Walsh wrote this?

GLENN: I don't know. It's from Daily Wire.

STU: Daily Wire is great. We love The Daily Wire guys. Obviously, the one I had read was some scientific -- I thought you were referring to a different story, where they didn't say it was a scam.

Obviously, it's an opinion to say it was a scam.

GLENN: No, yeah, it's a pretty strong opinion.

STU: It might be the right one. I don't know. But I was referring to a different article, which is why I was confused, as to the framing of it.

GLENN: Right. Right. Right.

STU: I think there are kids that are affected with -- real trouble in school. Focusing on things.

GLENN: Of course.

STU: That was maybe a little bit more than they could handle.

GLENN: But that's not a psychological disorder.

STU: Right.

GLENN: It's not.

All kids are wired differently. Boys and girls are wired differently in the first place.

That's one of the things that AI can produce. That will be good.

With you as a parent, overseeing it every step of the way.

Is it will -- it will adapt to the way you learn. Because everybody learns differently. You know. There are kids that just -- they're into math. And I don't get it.

And they can talk about math all day long. And they've lost me.

But a kid that likes to learn through stories, I'm there all day for them.

I'm there all day.

And I was the same way. I'm a visual learner.

I'm a story -- you know, I learn from stories. And if I have a really boring teacher, some of the kids are really going to love that teacher, because he's just all about facts, and just gets it all out and can explain it in facts. That doesn't help me. It doesn't help me.

It doesn't mean I have a psychological.

Well, let me make it clear.

That by itself, does not indicate that I have a deep psychological problem.

Okay?

Other things, might.

But not that. That's just everybody is different!

Especially the difference between boys and girls.

And here's what they said, the conclusion was that ADHD is triggered by cognitively demanding tasks.

No. No, it's not.

No, it's not. I was painting yesterday. And I can't tell you how many times, I just kind of like was holding the brush. And I walked around the house, and I was like, oh, wait a minute. I was painting. I mean, I just get -- you know, lose train of thought. I start thinking about something else. And, oh, wait. I've got to go back into the art room and paint.

You know, I don't know if anybody else is like that. But, you know, it's honestly, it's kind of like going to the fridge all the time.

You know, there's no reason to go to the fridge and just stare at the fridge that you just opened up and stared at, you know.

That's not a deep psychological problem.

It's just the way you're wired.

STU: Is that fat?

GLENN: Yes, the fat is directly wired right to my brain. Right to the brain.

STU: Right to the brain.

GLENN: Right to the brain. So I personally think a lot of things are solved -- and not for everybody.

Not universally. But are solved by understanding that we're all different.

And then, you know, just not being such a namby-pamby, wishy-washy society.

That's trying to understand everything.

Did you ever see the south park episode on ADHD? Listen to this.

VOICE: Hello, I'm Dr. Richard Shea, here to tell you about my exciting new drug-free treatment for children with Attention Deficit Disorder.

VOICE: This treatment is fast and effective. And do not use -- apply treatment to the first child.

VOICE: Sit down and study!

Sit down and study!

Stop crying and do your school work!

If you would like more information on this treatment, please wait for this free brochure, entitled --

GLENN: So part of it is, part of it is --

STU: You should hit kids more is what you're saying.

GLENN: No, what I'm saying is -- and this is a very broad brush. One of the things we have a problem with now, is just saying, knock it off. Study. Knock it off.

Focus. And I know not everybody can.

But if you couple that with actually knowing that kids are different and trying to find the best way for your kids to learn.

Because it's not. That's the problem.

Honestly, with big class sizes. And a lot of public schools. Public schools are made for everybody to be the same.

Okay? Everybody has to be the same. Well, they're not the same. Some kids, some kids learn really well in that atmosphere. Some kids don't.

It's not one-size-fits-all.

And they're not teaching you, you know, it's a lot more exciting when you are learning things. I mean, honestly, how many times have you heard your kids say, your kids aren't teenagers yet. So you'll start to hear this.

STU: One is, yeah.

GLENN: Really? How old?

STU: Zach is 13. About to turn 14, yeah.

GLENN: Wow. He's about to be married and have kids, or at least just have kids.

STU: Please no.

GLENN: So, you know, you'll hear from your kids, why am I -- why do I have to know this?

Why am I memorizing this?

I'll never use this. I'll never use this.

And as a parent, you want to say, you're right.

There's no reason you need to know. Memorize that name and that year.

STU: I tell my kids all the time, AI is coming. You're not going to have to know anything. All you have to do is type it in, and it will do all the work for you. Don't worry about it. Never learn another thing, son.

GLENN: Might not be a good idea. see, I don't tell them it's coming. I tell them, it's already here. Why are you working on that? Why are you questioning?

Have -- just take a picture of it, give it to Grok, and it will finish it!

But there's -- we have to start -- we have to start going back to a lot of the common sense, you know, that we used to have.

And there's a lot of things that were really bad.

I mean, you know, I was afraid of our principal. It was Sister Una. Okay. That just says enough right there. Sister Una. And she had a paddle that she hung up in her office, that she made herself.

And it was a wood paddle, and she had drilled holes in it to pick up speed, so there wasn't real resistance.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Oh, my. And, you know, she was proud of it. She was proud of it.

But you know what I was more afraid of? I mean, I would have taken the paddling, give it to me twice as hard, sister, just let's keep this between us. Just don't call my parents. Okay?

We don't have that anymore. We don't have that anymore.

And there's some things that come from discipline.

Some things that come from kids being different.

And some, you know, because they do have an issue.

You know, you can't -- you can't talk a kid out of, you know, dyslexia.

You can't understand your way out of dyslexia.

You can't, you know -- you can't do anything, except understand that that makes your child different. And there are ways for them to learn.

But the worst thing for them to do is to medicate your child, so they don't adapt.

They have to -- you either are wildly successful, or you're going to live under a bridge, if you have ADD.

You decide. You either adapt to it, and use it as a strength, or you just, you don't adapt to it, and you just are crushed by the rest of your life.
