The TRUTH About Israel’s “Genocide” in Gaza

The International Criminal Court has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and is even seeking an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But are the cries of “genocide” accurate? As the media keeps “all eyes on Rafah,” Glenn speaks with acclaimed historian Edwin Black to get the truth. Black explains whether Israel has met the 5 qualifications of genocide, why the ICC doesn’t even have jurisdiction over this debate, and how all of this have affected Jews around the world. Plus, he also argues that President Biden doesn’t even care about the Palestinians. Instead, he has another “two-state solution” in mind.

GLENN: A man who I have tremendous respect for, because of his overall body of work, he has more than 2.2 million books in print. For half a century, he has worked and focus odd human rights. Genocide.

Organized hate. Corporate criminality. And corruption. Governmental misconduct. Academic fraud.

All of it. Been nominated 14 times for a Pulitzer prize. And I don't believe has ever won, one. Which is an amazing -- just an amazing thing, because I've read his books.

And they are important. Edwin Black. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

EDWIN: I'm fine. And thank you very much for having me, Glenn. And all the work that you do.

GLENN: Yeah. Thank you. So I want to talk to you a little bit about the -- the organization of this takedown of Israel. What we had a fire now in -- somebody set the embassy in Mexico on fire.

The Israeli embassy.

They're threatening to do it here.

And at the same time, the International Criminal Court is going after Benjamin Netanyahu, and I believe -- I believe we didn't try to stop that, at best.

EDWIN: Well, you're absolutely correct.

Not only did we not try to stop it. We orchestrated it.

So there are two different courts, which are confusing people. And which have absolutely no jurisdiction, in the false charge of genocide against Israel.

The first one is the international court of justice. This is traffic court.

This -- this court was established, in the early 20th century, to solve border disputes, contractural breaches.

Tax levies. And other matters between countries. It has no prosecutor.

It has no enforcement arm.

And it has never considered all of the many genocides in the 20th century. Not the rape of in an -- the rape of Nanking. The massacre of 80,000 Jews by Ukrainians.

It -- nothing against the Nazis. And, in fact, it took the -- the -- because there was no actual arm of investigation and prosecution, for crimes against humanity, it was the United States military, that established the IMT. The -- the international military tribunal. Often known as Nuremberg. To try the perpetrators of the Third Reich.

And they established a separate one, for the Japanese.

GLENN: So is this the ICC, or the ICJ?

EDWIN: This is the ICJ. The International Court of Justice.

GLENN: And which is going after -- are both of them going after Netanyahu?

EDWIN: Both of them. Both of them. And neither have them have jurisdiction. Basically, what South Africa did, was they put up the false claim. That everyone has agreed to not commit genocide. And Israel breached its contractural duty.

GLENN: You know, when you look up genocide and the steps to genocide, I believe you're the guy who invented, or -- or wrote the original -- what is it, seven or eight steps to genocide. Are you not?

EDWIN: Well, of course, I identified the six steps, that IBM took to organize the Nazi genocide against the Jews.

But the five qualifications of genocide, require a deliberate act. Which, by the way, was written on the campus of Duke University.

GLENN: Okay.
EDWIN: The five steps require a deliberate intention to destroy a people and/or to call for the destruction of people.

And that would include not only Goebbels, calling for the Jews to be destroyed.

But Rashida Tlaib, calling for, from the river to the sea. Palestine will be free.

So the International Court of Justice is a show trial, in a traffic court of international jurisprudence. Israel is cooperating. And it's stacked against them.

Now we go to the International Criminal Court.

The International Criminal Court, did not exist until a couple of years -- a couple of years ago.

It -- it established a lone statute. Which 124 countries, have accepted. And the United States is not one of them.

And Israel is not one of them. And Palestine, a non-state, a territory, a region, is also not one of them.

In fact, when you go to the official list of the ICC of member states. Palestine is not one of them. And this organization is seeking not only to bring Israel down, but it is seeking to bring American service men down. Especially, those who served in Afghanistan, and this is why the prior administration of the United States, sanctioned the ICC.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, you say that we helped orchestrate this, that Biden encouraged these warrants.

EDWIN: Yes. There has been a concerted -- that basically Biden is not concerned about the Palestinian state.

Its two-state solution is Minnesota and Michigan.
(laughter)

EDWIN: He's -- he's concerned about the 200,000 votes in Michigan, which is a swing state.

Which have vowed to not vote for Biden.

Even if it means electing Trump, as a punishment, or a warning to a Democratic Party. Which they've just announced. It's all very public.

In which, they will complete their takeover. Of the Democratic Party.

And engage in the disposition of the Jews in America.

And the disposition of America, from sea to shining sea.

And so, everything that is being said by the administration now, is walking between these two-third rails. The pro-Jewish majority in the United States, which is upward of 70 percent, and the need to curry favor with the Michigan votes.

GLENN: So have you ever looked -- have you ever looked into the -- the psychological game or reason, that, you know, when -- when persecution is happening, like it is now. I would think, if I were a Jew. I would be freaking out, right now.

And I -- I would be thinking, where could I go?

You know, you're leaving America. I don't know where else you would go. But so many Jews will just continue to go down the same path with the same leaders that are clearly against. That are siding with the people who do want genocide with all the Jews. Why does that happen?

EDWIN: It's quite a correct observation by you. I remember the last time, that I was on your show.

It was last -- it was one of the last times. It was last year.

GLENN: Yeah.

EDWIN: And there were people in your audience, who were from Oklahoma. Offering me a basement. To hide in.

Right after your show, I had a meeting with Jewish leaders in Dallas. And these are Texans. And they were asking me, what country will take us in? I'm in touch with Jewish leadership. All over the world.

On a minute-to-minute basis. And I can tell you, this is on everyone's mind. It's on my show, tomorrow.

The Edwin Black Show. We will be discussing, not only the Farhud.

Which is for the -- established by International Farhud Day. But that the Farhud.

This pogrom, is coming, not to the Middle East next, but to the United States next.

GLENN: Explain what the Farhud. Explain what the Farhud is.

This is -- this is a great book of yours. Explain in two minutes, if you can. What the Farhud is.

EDWIN: Well, the Farhud was the Arab Nazi pogrom of June 1st, June 2nd, that was the beginning of the end of the 2700 year dwelling of the Jews, in Iraq.

During this two-day monstrosity, this is how it's been described for years.

So it may sound eerily familiar. Parents were killed in front of their children. Children were killed in front of their parents. Babies were beheaded. Women were raped, en masse.

And I know what that sounds like.

GLENN: October 6th.

EDWIN: That sounds not like 1949. That sounds like October 7th, 2023.

GLENN: So do you think though, that Jews in America, are waking up and saying, wait a minute. These -- the people who I have always thought are our friends, are maybe not our friends.

EDWIN: They're waking up, not en masse. They're waking up, en slow.

One by one. I received a call from one of my supporters, who is fervently, and dramatically anti-Trump. And pro-Biden.

Several days ago when I was in Israel, he ended up visiting these massacre sites.

And this guy said, I just realized that if the election goes the wrong way, Israel and the Jews are finished.

And that is exactly what is in the it became plan. The State Department is stuck with leadership, for students with justice in Palestine.

People who are avowed and public anti-Semites. And anti-Israel activists. And believe you me, if the wrong people get into power, by this time next -- next year, there will be an active program to destroy Israel, within weeks. By recognizing Hamas, arming Hamas, supplying -- supplying aid. A munitions train, to Hamas.

Making -- sanctioning Israel, its leadership, and the Jews in America, who support Israel which are the overwhelming number of Jews.

GLENN: Well, I -- I will tell you. Edwin, I -- I pray that you're wrong. You're usually not. But I pray that you're very wrong on that.

EDWIN: I need to be wrong. I need to be wrong.

GLENN: I know you do. But I also want you to know, like, for instance, there's 12 million people in just this audience on radio alone. And I believe that there are tons of good Americans, that will not allow what happened before, to happen again, at least in our own country.

But I pray for that. I pray that you're wrong. Edwin, thank you for everything. I know I tell you this every time, but I mean it so sincerely.
What you've done, to open eyes, about history. There are very few people in my book, that have done as much as you have. And I so appreciate it. Thank you.

EDWIN: Thank you, very much, Glenn.

GLENN: You bet. Edwin Black.

IBM and the Holocaust. The Farhud.

That's a book you should read. It kind of explains an awful lot of what's happening now. And you can find him at EdwinBlack.com. EdwinBlack.com. All right.

Why RFK Jr.’s Former Running Mate OPPOSES Casey Means for Surgeon General

President Trump’s nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General had many MAHA fans cheering. But RFK Jr.’s former running mate, BlazeTV host Nicole Shanahan, has major reservations. She joins Glenn, who has been a fan of Casey, to explain why she believes there are stronger candidates. Means, Shanahan claims, may have “conflicts of interest” because of the “biometric harvesting company” she founded and its close ties to Silicon Valley. Shanahan also questions whether RFK Jr. is playing “political 4D chess,” or if she was lied to when she was promised that the Means siblings wouldn’t be in government. Is RFK Jr. reporting to someone other than Trump? Shanahan explains why she believes it’s possible.

GLENN: Nicole Shanahan. Nicole, how are you?

NICOLE: Glenn, how are you doing?

GLENN: I am very good. It's great to have you here.

So I want to ask you, the Surgeon General thing, are you for Casey Means? Or not for Casey Means?

NICOLE: Well, I will tell you who I am for, Glenn.

GLENN: Okay.

NICOLE: I'm for all of those Americans. Those hundreds of thousands of doctors, seeking truth, honesty, and dignity in our medical system once again. That is what I'm for. That is what propels MAHA into existence.

That's what propels Bobby Kennedy into the position of running for president of the United States. That's why I joined the campaign. It really is about listening to this group of doctors that did the right thing during the COVID pandemic.

That spoke up, when it was dangerous to speak up.

That lost their licenses. And so when I hear from that base, concern or research. About individuals, in and around MAHA.

I have to listen to them.

And I do listen to them.

Because oftentimes, they are right. They're brave, and they're principled. So the concern I've been hearing from that group of people is that MAHA -- you know, any movement. MAGA had this issue too of infiltration by different groups that are more self-serving, than they are for the movement itself.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

NICOLE: And so just one example, Casey Means is a founder of a company that does biometric harvesting. She's very close with many of the big data biometric harvesting companies.

In Silicon Valley. And this -- I noticed with all these people. You do not want them running in a government position that is responsible for everybody equally. Right?

GLENN: So wait. Wait. Wait.

What is -- what is that?

They're harvesting, what?

NICOLE: Well, so biometric data is anything between heart rate data, to all of the data that is collected from your FitBit or high glucose monitor. It could be labs. It could be -- then there's all the DNA harvesting. And big data that's being done.

So, you know, I think that the base -- MAHA really came from medical freedom. And medical sovereignty.

And the idea that we have to keep conflicts of interests. Out of the government.

And so when I -- you know, see some stuff going on. That we could be doing better.

Right?

Our job.

And I learned this from the MAGA base.

Our job is to ton seek the best possible people. For government, that are truly putting the principles of this country first.

The principles of American sovereignty first.

GLENN: So you wrote yesterday.

It's very strange. It doesn't make any sense. I was promised that if I supported RFK Jr. in the Senate confirmation, that neither of these siblings would be working under HHS or an appointment.

And that people much more qualified would be. I don't know -- I'm sorry.

RFK very clearly lied to me. Or what's going on. It's been clear in recent conversations that he's reporting to someone regularly, who is controlling his decisions, and it isn't President Trump.

With regards to the siblings, there is something very artificial and aggressive about them. Almost as if they were bred and raised as Manchurian assets. Wow!

NICOLE: So keep in mind, I was responding to Dr. Suzanne Humphries.

Who was also expressing very similar sentiment.

GLENN: Concern. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

NICOLE: Concern. There's better candidates.

So what's going on? I also heard from other MDs in the field.

That there was another doctor that RFK had wanted for the position. Very, very qualified doctor.

And -- and, you know, he was caught by surprise as well. By -- by this other choice.

So, you know, there's -- again, they -- they don't call it the swamp for no reason. Right?

GLENN: Right.

NICOLE: And, you know, I'm not officially within the administration at all.

In fact, I decided to take the path of staying an independent --

GLENN: Smart.

NICOLE: -- media person. Which I think -- I think and you know this, Glenn. It's really important that when you are an independent media voice, that you -- you stick by your principles. And that you are not just a mouthpiece for any government organizations.

That you're really on the outside, reflecting back the hopes and wishes of the constituents.

GLENN: Yeah. There's -- it's very hard to do.

I mean, I take stances against the president.

And for the president. You always have to -- you always have to balance, you know, I have my opinion.

And I'm never going to be bought out by anybody.

I'm never. But you also want to make sure that you're being fair to the people that you trust. And I know you have trusted RFK for a very, very long time.

And for what struck me on this. Is, you know, I don't know if RFK lied to me. Which I hope he didn't, or what's going on. It's been clear in recent conversation that he is reporting to someone regularly, who is controlling his decisions.

That's a remarkable thing to say, especially about RFK.

Because he does not strike me as somebody who is afraid of somebody else.

NICOLE: You know, I don't know if it's fear or that he's playing political 4D chess. And, again, they don't call it the swamp for no reason.

It's just, at some point, there's certain decisions, that are worth fighting for.

And I do appreciate what a very complex political environment this is.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

NICOLE: And I do understand that even within these agencies, there are groups that are intentionally keeping and withholding information from the new leadership.

So, you know, I -- I fully appreciate how complicated it is.

So I fully appreciate how complicated it all is, but there are definitely things that the base is -- is, you know, like, this is an easy one. This could have gone better. Right?

You don't truly -- and, you know, everyone is guessing what precisely this 4D chess is all about. And why these moves are being made. And trying to anticipate the next one.

But it's something that I think that, you know, there's just certain things that indicate that whomever he's giving -- whoever his chess coach is. Could be making some better decisions for him. And --

GLENN: But Casey.

I mean, when I talk to the twins, during -- or after COVID.

They seemed pretty clear on what was bad and what was good.

They -- they both seemed to be good on -- on COVID. And the vaccines. Didn't they?

Or is my memory --

JEFFY: They talk a great talk.

I will say, I was once a fan of it as well.

It was only after I received many comments from individuals, in and around the transition team.

As well as new research that came up.

And then really, like, you know, when the base expresses these things and provides that degree of inquiry, and it shows that kind of concern.

I think we owe it to them.

GLENN: Yes. I agree. I agree.

ANNA: Yeah.

GLENN: So overall, how do you feel things are going?

NICOLE: I think, again, there's been a lot of focus around food dives. Meanwhile, there's millions of people suffering from vaccine injuries, that still feel very neglected.

So I do think -- I do appreciate the executive order, regarding gain of function and limiting overseas research.

GLENN: And shutting down a dangerous -- and shutting down a very dangerous bio lab here.

NICOLE: Yes. And there are many of these bio labs that are kind of flying under the radar.

GLENN: Right.

NICOLE: So it's a big step in the right decisions sedition. I'm a huge Jay Bhattacharya fan. Probably one of his biggest.

I really am excited for him, as he built out his team.

I hope, he has a very, very strong team around him. In the next coming weeks. Because he's going need to it.

As far as HHS goes, you know, I would love to see Bobby bring in more of those doctors that have been around him for the last ten years, very regularly.

Because these are the individuals that, you know, I -- I trust these people with my life. They have sacrificed everything to do the right thing time and time again.

They are so deeply principled. They will never take a check over helping a patient out.

And they actually do have the answers. So I'm hoping to see more of those people around Bobby too.

GLENN: So I'm wondering because this is the way I feel about a couple of things with the FBI. And Intel.

That if I don't see some people in the next year or so, go to jail, or at least brought in for a fair and honest trial, you know. I don't want to just scoop people up. And just assume that they're guilty.

But build a good, strong case. Bring it to trial.

Have it a fair and honest trial. And let the chips fall where they may.

But if I don't see some prosecution, at least. I think I'm very upset at the G O.J.

Pam Bondi. Head of the FBI. Kash Patel. And I don't -- and I'm trusting them so far, that they are doing that.

Do you feel the same way at all, about -- you know, if you don't see some people who go to jail there, that clearly lied about the vaccines.

If they don't go to jail. You have -- you really haven't fixed anything.

You're just eating around the edges.

NICOLE: Yeah. Yeah. I think that really explains it. And this is why I think it's important to continue to voice those concerns, because they're only going to grow and mount.

And it really is the American people, that were sold this vision of accountability.

And as we want to see it. We have to see it. Anywhere. Several months into the administration now.

HHS, you know, lags behind the Oval Office in terms of getting going.

But they're -- people were seriously injured. There were many crimes committed against the American public.

Crimes committed against our bravest doctors. Crimes committed against children.

We need accountability.

We really, really need to see that.

Because, you know, there's -- there's a preciousness in this moment. We have to -- we have to deliver. This country deserves it.

GLENN: And, I mean, if we're -- if we can't correct the things that, for instance. Washington State. Just passed a law where if there is another pandemic, everybody seems to be, you know, claiming there's another one, right around the corner.

But if there is another pandemic, that they will have absolute control, over what you put into your body. And what you do. That's terrifying.

NICOLE: I do.

And those emergency orders, they will scrutinize them. They have revisions.

GLENN: Washington State just revised it to just codify it. Washington State just codified it. It's crazy.

NICOLE: Yeah. Yeah.

So I would like to see more focus around that, not Red Dye 40 and not Kellogg's.

I'm totally fine leaving Kellogg's alone, in favor of HHS spending. All of its energy. And all of its focus. And all of its leverage, making sure that we are actually properly ready for the next pandemic.

And not to cause the catastrophic harm, that was caused during COVID-19.

GLENN: Nicole Shanahan. She's got the podcast Back To the People. And it's now coming to Blaze Media.

It's the same podcast she's been doing. Now as she says, with a wider reach. Glad to have you.

Nicole, thank you very much.

NICOLE: Thanks, it's a pleasure to come on.

GLENN: We'll talk to you again.

Is America’s Grid a Ticking Time Bomb? Trump’s Energy Secretary REACTS | Glenn TV | Ep 430

President Trump is working hard to right the wrongs of the Biden administration. But did Biden harm our energy grid even more than we thought? While Glenn was on vacation in Italy, two other European countries — Spain and Portugal — suffered one of the biggest blackouts in their history. The mainstream media, as they always do, rushed to blame it on ANYTHING other than the countries’ heavy reliance on unreliable green energy. But Glenn has the receipts and the evidence that leftists tried to make America’s grid just as unreliable. Glenn speaks with Energy Secretary Chris Wright about how the Trump administration is reversing these dangerous policies. Secretary Wright also discusses his department’s discovery that Biden shoveled out $93 BILLION in energy loans after Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election and before Trump could take office. Plus, he comments on Trump’s plans to deal with OPEC, why Trump must refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and why Trump is planning the biggest energy project in American history to help accommodate AI. But first, Glenn recaps the biggest media lies that he missed while on vacation. Topping the list: Are these elitists like Axios and Jen Psaki finally admitting that they lied about Biden’s cognitive decline, or do they STILL not get that their charade is over?

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Is the New American Pope Catholic? | Bishop Strickland | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 256

A new pope has been chosen! As the recording of this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" began, white smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the selection of the first American pope. Glenn and Bishop Joseph Strickland react live to the news as the whole world wonders if Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, will continue in the ways of his predecessor Pope Francis or go a more traditional route. Bishop Strickland, who was removed from office by Pope Francis, says the former pope pushed a church “in the world and of the world” and reviews “duplicity,” “corruption,” and potential abuse overlooked by the Vatican, including the infamous McCarrick scandal. The pair discuss the resurgence of the Latin Mass, globalism, the Catholic Church’s approach to homosexuality and gender identity, and whether the Shroud of Turin is an “icon” or a “relic.” As the new pope greets the world, Glenn asks, “If we have a more progressive pope, does that set the Church back?” Bishop Strickland advises that “even if we are disappointed and dismayed,” we must pray and keep our focus on God.

Zuckerberg Wants to Give You AI “Friends” … To CONTROL You?

Meta and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has a new goal: to give lonely Americans AI “friends.” But Glenn sounds the alarm: this must NEVER happen! Glenn explains the hidden danger in Zuckerberg’s seemingly kindhearted plan: “AI cannot, must not, and will never be your friend.” Opening that door will only give Meta insane levels of potential for manipulation and control over you.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Let's start with this: Mark Zuckerberg. Good guy. I mean, he brought us Facebook.

And, you know, that is the thing that brought all of us together.

Brought out families together. All the people that we lost touch with.

Oh, the world is so much better now that we have Facebook.

So now, he's got another idea. Could we play the clip of Mark Zuckerberg?

VOICE: There's a stat that I honestly think is crazy. The average American has I think it's fewer than three friends. Three people they consider friends. And the average person has demand for meaningfully more. I think it's 15 friends or something.

I guess there's probably at some point, I'm too busy. I can't deal with more people. But the average person wants more connectivity, connection than they have. So, you know, there's a lot of questions that people ask.

Of stuff like, okay. Is this going to replace kind of in person connections or real life connections?

And my default is that the answer to that is probably no.

I think it -- it -- I think that there are all these things that are better kind of about physical connections, when you can have them.

But the reality is that people just don't have the connection when they feel more alone, a lot of the time, than they would like.

GLENN: Hmm. True.

Now, let me ask you. Is there a time when you don't remember feeling so isolated? When you didn't really feel like I don't have any real friends?

When you didn't -- you had real connections with people, instead of a million connections with people that are your friends, but not really your friends?

Can you think of a time, way back in history?

I mean, probably have to go back to the cavemen, to find a time.

Oh. Before Facebook, and social media!

When we weren't all killing ourself, because we have no meaning.

Now, from the people who brought you kill yourself, because you've been on Facebook too much.

Brings you new AI friends. Oh, this is going to be good.

By the way, you know, that's a crazy stat, I think the average American has, what? Three friends. And they have a capacity for, I don't know. Fifteen or 20. I don't know.

Really think about it right now.

How many true friends, do you have?

How many true friends?

People that when you are down and out, there is nothing -- the whole world is against you!

That that person will actually stand by your side. And go, yeah.

I'm their friend.

And I don't care what you say.

How many? How many do you have?

I think I would count myself lucky if I have three.

Now, I have a lot of consequences.

I have a lot of people who we all think are friends. But as a recovering alcoholic, I've been there.

I've done that. As a recovering alcoholic,
who then also is a conservative and spoke out about the Obama administration, I know who my friends are.
I know who my friends are not.

And I think there's a lot of people that have counterfeit friends.

If you've got. Oh, I've got ten or 15 friends.

Eh.

No, you don't. No, you don't.

I've always grown up thinking, you're lucky, you're lucky, to have three, five, really good friends.

That will walk through anything with you. Do you agree with that, Stu?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: You've never been there.

STU: For you? Oh, God no. But I'm just saying, generally speaking. No. I think -- I mean, you're describing a great friend. You're describing a really --

GLENN: A real friend.

STU: Yeah. Like someone you know and stick around for multiple decades.

GLENN: Yeah, I have lots of friends. You know what I mean? I have millions of Facebook friends.

STU: Right. Those aren't real.

GLENN: Right. And I have lots of friends. But the ones that are there for you always, no matter what, I have family.

And I have family.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And I have a handful of friends. I would consider you one of those.

STU: Thank you. I would as well.

GLENN: Why?

Remember, I have a drinking problem.

STU: Yeah. A lot of brain cells killed to make that decision.

But I think that you -- yes. I think the only thing that I think I'm drilling down a little bit on to try to understand. When you say, well, I have a lot of friends.

In a way, I think that's what Zuckerberg is talking about.

It's not even necessarily a great friend that you have for multiple decades. And can count on at any time.

Just the mid-level consequences, are drying up for a lot of people.

GLENN: Yeah. And why is that?

Why is that?

Because we don't talk to each other anymore.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Because of social media.

You know, when this generation says, I don't know.

I just think it's weird. I'm just now in a bar someplace.

And some stranger comes up to me and wants to strike up a conversation. I'm like, hello, weirdo. I don't know!

You think it's less weird to go online?
When people can fake everything!

Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg.

But no thanks. Okay.

STU: And they're just -- to build up on this point for one second.

There's a study that came out, the last 20 years, of how much time do you spend socializing with the people.

Again, that's not with your best friends.

This is just socializing with anyone, a human.

Every single group. Every single group has massive drops.

GLENN: Massive.

STU: Massive drops. Just give you some examples.

Ages. Fifteen to 24-year-olds. Thirty-five-point down.

In 20 years. 35 percent. So a typical 15-year-old, as compared to what they are, in 2003 and 2025, where were the two measurement years?

They're spending 35 percent less time, with other human beings.

GLENN: Okay. Hang on just a second. Can you please stop distracting me? Because I'm trying to figure out why our kids are killing themselves.

STU: No, it's really hard.

GLENN: It's very hard to figure out.

STU: To understand.

And this is the coup de grâce of this entire study, which is, the typical female pet owner spends more time actively engaged with her pet, than she spends face-to-face contact with her friends of her own species.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: That is unbelievable -- not like you're in the same house as your cat.

Right? No. More face-to-face time with your cat!

GLENN: And I've got news for you. If you think your cat is your friend, wait until you die, and your cat is trapped in the house with you and you have no friends to check. They will eat your face.

STU: They will still have a use for you.

GLENN: Yeah. They will have a use foy.

STU: Not the other way around.

GLENN: Okay. Here's why I'm bringing this up today.
