GLENN: Wow. Just reading an email that was just sent from New York City's human resources administration to all names on its distribution list. And -- and the Epic Times just got a hold of it. It urged all staff, who can work overtime to do so, to deal with a drastic influx of asylum seekers in Manhattan and other boroughs. Internal requests comes a week after the mayor, Eric Adams described a growing stream of illegal aliens coming to the Big Apple as a real burden on New Yorkers. Oh. Because New York already has overburdened shelter systems. Oh. Again. DSS at HRA leadership in recent weeks, we have seen a drastic influx of asylum seekers coming into our shelter intake sites. Jeez, where do you think they're coming from? These must be from the Canadian border, hmm?

So it's urgent. The city says they don't have the money to deal with it. It's very much like the problems that you're seeing, of course, with those 4,000 immigrants that have been shipped from Arizona, and Texas, on a bus. And they say, sometimes in the middle of the night, these people are just brought in. Without the city's knowledge. Oh, my gosh. That's unheard of.

So I just have been crunching some numbers. 4,000 illegal immigrants have come in, over the last couple of months, to Washington, DC. Uh-huh. Okay.

Four thousand. Does Washington, DC -- because this is a crisis. They can't afford it. They need federal assistance. A federal emergency has to be declared. 4,000 over the last couple of months. Do they know that the Border Patrol in Texas, is arresting more than 4,000 illegal immigrants every day. And those are the ones, you know, that we've arrested. The small border towns have to cope with the -- oh, it's only one thousand illegal immigrants. No. Let me count the zeros.

Oh, no. It's 1 million illegal immigrants to these little teeny border towns. Oh. Man. Holy cow. Well, what is New York going to do? You know, mayor Adams was complained about it, even though the buses were only going to Washington, DC. Somehow or another, people are finding their way to New York. And they're homeless. And he doesn't know what to do.

You know, Del Rio, has a population of 35,000, and -- and 35,000 people now a shantytown of just Haitian illegals, that sprung up overnight, of 15,000. So just about half the population now, is illegal. And there's 1,000 illegal immigrants, coming up, every day in Del Rio.

That is -- wow. 1,000 every day. So in four days, it equals, what Washington, DC, has had to deal with. Oh, poor Washington, DC. What they had to deal with. Over the last four months. Oh, my gosh. How are they doing it? Screw Del Rio, how is Washington, DC, doing it? By the way, by the end of Biden's term at this rate, the number of people let in at the border, will exceed 6 million people.

So let's look at this. Okay. So Washington, DC, is in a crisis. It is really bad. They have a budget, that was set at 17.5 billion dollars for the budget. Wow. That's a lot. Huh. Okay. $17.5 billion. Where are they going to squeeze the money for those 4,000 immigrants that they've gotten over there over the last four months. You know? Del Rio's budget on the other hand. 17.5 billion will sound like peanuts. Del Rio's full budget, full budget. All of it. Is $107 million. As opposed to 17.5 billion.

So it's only 163 times more than Del Rios. You know, if you look at Del Rio's budget -- and I'll give you the full budget here. However, however, let's do the math here. Because if you look at Washington, DC, 17 billion. Yeah. But they have a lot going on. So let's just look at what -- what money is used just on homelessness, in Washington, DC. It's $31 million. Okay.

Now, the total possible border immigration budget, I mean, that has taken Capex expenses. Everything. Everything.

That is the bus system. The economic development corporation. The channel. Room tax. Nutrition services. The service for women, infant, and children. All transportation. The entire administration. Transportation operations. All of that. Economic development.

You take all of that, and they have a whopping total, that you could -- you would collapse the rest of the -- but you would still have money. You would still have the lights on at city hall. You have 23,253,335. Okay. Compared to DC, which solely focused on homelessness, is 31 million.

Okay. All right. I -- okay.

I'm trying to see what the problem here is. With Washington, DC. New York is also reporting not to receive any of the bused immigrants. And they're now, having a budget of $101.7 billion. Hmm. Just to put that into perspective, El Paso is 5 percent of DC's budget. Brownsville, .9 percent of DC's total budget. They have 4,000. 4,000 in DC. And it's a national emergency.

Okay. All right. McAllen, it's 3 percent of DC's total budget. Laredo has 1.24 percent of DC's total budget. These towns are being swamped with people. There are more immigrants than there are residents, in those towns. And do you see the media doing anything about it? Do you see anybody that cares about those towns? Because I'm seeing a huge, huge uproar in the press, on how cruel it is, to just take these poor migrants and put them on a bus and ship them into a city like Washington, DC, that is just not prepared. But Texas. New Mexico. Arizona.

We're just expected to bring them all in. Millions. Bring them in. Sure. We've got all this money down here in Texas. Because we're oil and gas. Oh, wait. We're not selling the oil and gas. Because we've been shut off by this organization. Well, I'm sure we have money coming out of our ears. These small towns. You know, of 30,000 people. Out of those 30,000, you're telling me, that there's not a billionaire or two in town that won't even miss it. I mean, I can go on a block. Take just the Bloomberg building. There's, you know, 10,000 people living in there. Through -- you know, one-third the population of -- of any of these towns, Del Rio. One-third. And how many billionaires just live in that one building? Come on. Cough up your billionaires, Laredo. Cough them up. Time for them to pay their fair share. This is sickening. It's absolutely sickening.

When New York is affected or Washington, DC, is affected, at all, by this. The media goes crazy, and talks about how cruel, and how these poor people are suffering. And they have been -- mothers have been abused. On their way into America. And who is going to care for them? Yeah. That's what we've been saying the whole time. Except, you only care about it, when money is involved.

We in Texas, and other border states are dealing with this every single day. We're seeing people firsthand. Yeah. But you flew a drone over. You know, CNN was there with a drone. So they could see it.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm thinking about sending buses up to CNN. You know what, guys, CNN will welcome you. Just go to the TimeWarner center. They are going to love having a bunch of migrants right there at the doors of the TimeWarner Center. Because I know they love immigrants. They love you. You're just as American as they are. Go there. Uh-huh. And they'll help you. It is -- we are so close to winning. And yet, so close to death.

This is going to be -- only one is going to last in the end. And the progressives think it's America that's going to fall. I hope to God, that we are all awake. And I think we are. The -- the trust in the media, is at the lowest ever. But that doesn't mean, you can dis-- disengage. You can unplug and cut the cable. But you have to find the source of information. That you can trust. To keep you up to speed. Because we are very close to the endgame. It could happen this fall. But I think Americans are waking up. And finally, there are some people that are standing up, like Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis, standing up with Mickey Mouse. With the head of Mickey Mouse. You know, just letting them dangle by one ear. You know.

I think we're -- I think we're close to winning. Just don't sit down. And listen within let's make Mickey's blood the last blood that is shed, okay? Sure, it's a cartoon mouse. But no more, even cartoon blood. Please.GLENN: Wow. Just reading an email that was just sent from New York City's human resources administration to all names on its distribution list.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
