So it's Good News Friday. And we had to cover some things that are not so good. But we cut them out of this. And if you want to know about the bond market and what's coming our way, probably worth paying attention to. That's in the longer show. People walking out of the UN yesterday turning their back. I think a fulfillment of prophecy or beginning of a fulfillment of prophecy. That happened yesterday. That's in the main show. You can get that wherever you get your podcast as well. This is the best of and we're going to leave you with some good news. I tell you about some things that happen to individuals. And I'm trying to show you that while the world looks like it's on fire, the world is made up by individuals. And there are some amazing things happening with individuals.
We get into a few of these stories and you're going to love all of them.

Hello America. Welcome to The Glenn Beck Program. It's Friday and I want to do a good news Friday. I want to tell you some stories that you might not have heard because they're not big international stories and there's no screaming headlines. Everybody's going to die. We're at war and we'll never get out of it. Trump, Trump, Trump. They're just stories about everyday people that you don't hear about. This one comes from a place called Penzance. It sits at the very bottom tip of England. It's about as far as you can go before the land runs out and the sea takes over.
In the summer, it's postcards. In January, the wind comes off that wet water and cold and it just gets into your bones. It was January. There was a man who was living on the street. His name was Rhys Wynne-Jones. He was sleeping rough in that wind. The cold was bad. The night was worse.
He said, Sleeping rough at night is not safe. Doorways are not safe. You're in public view at all times. So he did what apparently a lot of homeless people have learned to do. He stopped sleeping at night and he stayed awake while the whole town slept. And he slept when the whole town was awake and there were people around. And he knew he would be somewhat safe. This is a guy who was afraid of the dark for a good reason.
He's an interesting guy. He was carrying around a lot for a long time. He was badly bullied when he was a kid. He was carrying around a head, in his words, full of noise all the time and hadn't had a home in about 10 years. But there was one thing that he carried around that no one knew. When he was 12 years old, he started playing the piano. It turned out he had perfect pitch. He could hear a song and see it. He said, every time I hear music, I could see the notes. I imagined myself playing the piano and I could see the notes in my head. In all those years, when life caved in, he had one rule, if things go wrong, I'll just go and find a piano to play. Well, that worked until he found himself homeless. I mean, go try to find a piano when you don't have a front door. Now, in the middle of this town, Penzance, there's an old granite church called St. Mary's. And on certain nights, St. Mary's does something most churches don't. They keep the doors open all night, and they call it night church. And volunteers come in. They stay up for anybody out there who has nowhere else to be.
Well, there's one of those freezing nights in January, just a couple of years ago, where he walks in. He wasn't there for a sermon. He needed help. And he needed help from the piano. He came in and he said, I noticed you have a piano, and it's very noisy in my head. May I play it? They said, sure, go ahead. He sat down, cold, tired, worn, and homeless.
In this old stone church in the middle of the night, and he started to play this.
