There's a lot on today's Best of Podcast. You should hear the whole show if you have time, because I talk about the greatest American generation and why I believe Generation Alpha is the rebirth of that generation. And I got the facts to back it up. Also, I saw Disclosure Day yesterday. So if you're going into the weekend, you're thinking about watching it. There's some things that you should watch for. It's really good. You should go see it. But there's some things that I point out that you really need to watch for, because I think it's an important movie to at least... It's at least a fun movie to have a conversation about. Let's put it down. Also, Bill Cloud joins us on today's Best of, and he's talking about Aleksandr Dugin, Russia, Iran, which, by the way, it's Friday, which means, hey, we're going to have a deal by the end of the week. Well, we'll talk about that Monday.
We know it's Friday when we say that there's a deal with Iran, but he talks about the deal between Russia and Iran and why it is so dangerous and the possibility that we're living in the end of days, and also rats, well, actually mice.
There were 25 studies done on mice back in the 50s and 60s, and it tells us everything we need to know about what's wrong with our society, what is happening to all of us. Wait until you hear this. I found this study up and started reading about it. I'm like, oh my gosh, that's worth knowing. Why didn't anybody share this with us? It is so important, all on today's podcast. Father's Day is coming up, it's right around the corner, and every year we all go through exactly the same exercise. We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives insisting they don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones. They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over, the things that become part of his daily life because they're well made, they're comfortable, and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day. They make premium hoodies, great t-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States. Their cotton is grown here. Their clothes are cut and sewn here, and the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on, and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's americangiant.com/glen.

Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck Podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
So I want to talk to you about the problem with our society and the opportunity for our society. You know, what is the one thing you hate the most about what's happening in our society? I despise the fact that everybody is a whiner.

They're always like, oh, it's so hard, I'm never gonna make it.

**Glenn Beck** (3:44)
And I know I sound like the old guy, get off my lawn. I know, I get it. But, hear me out for a second.
Every trouble that I've ever had in my life, every trouble, everything that my father, I mean, he was so wise. My father, you know, taught me, you sit around and whine about it, or you make the adjustments you need to make, and then find a way to learn from that, and grow from that, and use that, okay?
I think that's the secret of life. You can either let life crush you, or you can allow it to motivate you, and go, you know, no, no, no, no, I'm getting back up again. I'm not staying down. Nobody, nobody can put their thumb and keep me down. And when you have that, it's really hard, especially when you're young, but once you start doing it, once you really start, you have to do it smartly. You can't just be a bully about it. But once you really figure this out, everything can change, everything can change. And I want to show you why this hardship that everybody's going through is good. It doesn't mean, look, I remember I was absolutely flat broke, I was divorced, I was a recovering alcoholic, barely holding on. Nobody wanted to work with me.
