You know what's incredible is how many of us just accept that back pain is part of life. You know, as if being stiff, sore, uncomfortable is just something that you're supposed to live with now. And you adjust how you sit, how you sleep, how you stand up, how you pick things up, and soon your back starts calling the shots. That's why I like Chirp and what they're doing. They make products designed to help people like you and me feel better without turning relief into a full-time job. The one that really stood out to me is the Chirp Halo. It's a wearable, wireless device that uses clinic-style TENS and EMS therapy that you can use right at home in just a few minutes. You place it where you need it and it goes to work, helping you with pain relief, muscle recover, circulation. You don't have to feel this way. Click the link in the show notes and check out the pics for my back pain relief. And also get yourself a contour at gochirp.com/beck. That's gochirp.com/beck.

Hello America, it's September 11th. It is September 11th, 25 years ago.

Muslim terrorists struck the World Trade Center, struck the Pentagon. They were gonna hit either the Capitol or the White House, we don't know, because patriotic Americans decided they were gonna sacrifice their life to stop the terrorist, and their plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

It was one of the most incredible days I have ever experienced, and Chris Brady, who has been with me since almost the beginning of this program, when I was just before syndication in Florida, I was on WFLA in Florida. The morning of 9-11, and I was shaving, and the phone rang, and it was my wife, are you watching the news? I turn on the news, and I'm listening to Jack, Ted, and Sharon who did the morning show at the time of WFLA, and they were talking about how the World Trade Center, and I turn on the TV, and Katie Couric says, there's a small, looks like a small, maybe a Cessna hit the World Trade Center, and I look at the picture, you know, the video that's live, and I'm like, that is not a small plane. That's gotta be an airliner that hit that thing. Then the second one hit, and I knew we were at war. And then I had to go and make sense of a world, and I was completely unprepared for it. And this is two days before my show becomes syndicated on national radio.

Chris Brady, who's been with me forever, he went into the archives and tried to clean them up as much as possible because we recorded everything in very low quality at the time, just to have an archive of what happened. And I want to start with, with what I said, it was I think five o'clock in the afternoon. And so our workday was done and everything was closing.

You couldn't fly anywhere, universities had closed, public buildings has closed, malls closed. There was nothing. It was like COVID within two hours. And I was listening to a piece of this last night and I wanted to play this for you. We'll start there in 60 seconds. What did it actually sound like on 9-11 25 years ago? First, let me tell you about Leave Filter. There are parts of owning a home that really are about stewardship. You take care of something because it's yours, because you worked for it, because you still want it to be standing strong years from now. That means paying attention to the small things that protect it, including something as basic as your gutters. Your gutters have one important job, move water away from your home. That's it. When they're clogged with leaves and pine needles and shingle crap and everything else, they can't do their job properly. So I want you to look at Leave Filter, their gutter protection system. It's designed to keep debris out while allowing water to flow through, and it's professionally installed. They clean and realign your gutters where needed. They seal any trouble spot, and then they install the system for you, and it helps protect your home from water damage. It's really, really good. It's Leave Filter, America's number one gutter protection system. Get off the ladder, stop, stop. It has a lifetime warranty and it's transferable, so you don't even have to own your house. It will help you sell your house actually. Inspection, Leaf Filter, leaffilter.com, leaffilter.com/glennbeck. Get a quote that's good for a full year.
