0:00You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have. You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick. You don't need a thermometer, you don't need a doctor, you just know, right? Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part. The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug. The pharmacy is out of the medication they need. And now, you're driving all over town, hoping somebody has it in stock. That's why I advise you prepare before the first cough starts. The kid's case from Jace Medical provides physician prescribed emergency medications and antibiotics, designed specifically for your children. And you can also include essentials like albbert, butyl, epipins, zyrtek. So when a school germ makes their annual appearance, you're not scrambling to find out, you know what your family needs, you already have it. And having it when you need it, when the time comes, gives you true peace of mind. Go to Jace.com, use the promo code back and check out Get a Discount on Your Order.

1:22The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's got to be an interesting program today, because it's Friday. Let's just put it that way. It's Friday. And we've been screwing off in all of the time that we should have been putting effort into the show. We've been screwing off making fun of Canadians. But it's Friday and that's what needs to happen in America. So we begin there in just a couple of seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor. You ever find yourself saying things like, you know, I really don't like golf anymore.
2:24You know, or I'm not interested in working in the yard. Or, you know, I don't need to go up and down those stairs. Maybe it's true, but maybe your back hurts when you swing the club. Or maybe your shoulder hurts when you work in the yard. And the stairs are, you know, kind of hard when your knees are on fire all the time. There's a difference between deciding what you, you know, you don't want to do and deciding it is just not worth hurting to do it. That's why I've taken relief factor for years now. You know, my story, pain in my hands got so bad I was actually considering, you know, leaving. Because it wasn't just my hand. It affected my whole life. The pain was so bad. And I just, I couldn't take it anymore. And there was some going on and I had to, I went to these doctors all over the country. Went to the Mayo Clinic, went everywhere. And they decided it was something inflammation, blah, blah, blah, and all kinds of different things. And I was on a diet for, I don't know, a few years that were only, I could only have 80 different ingredients. Take these, eat everything, but no more than these 80 different ingredients.
3:28And your inflammation will go down, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was a nightmare. Finally took relief factor and it broke the back of whatever was going on in my body. And I am forever grateful. Please, if you're having pain, try it. Just try it. Three week quick start. Doesn't work for everybody. And they tell you that up front. Worked for about 70% of the people who try it. They go on to order more just like me. It's $17.76 for the 250th anniversary year. Many people say relief factor gave them life, their life back. It did me. Relief factor.com. 800 for relief. 800. The number four relief. Okay, so the latest with Canada is, they're very, very upset. They're very upset. They're very upset at the memes. I mean, I don't know what, I don't know what's going to happen. Yesterday we told you that the Ottawa, whatever beaver or whatever their newspaper is in Ottawa, they were saying that our admiral was avoiding questions about attack plans on Canada.
4:33We don't have any attack plans on Canada for the love of Pete. Oh, it's just, it's, oh, it's so irritating. People lose their minds. They have lost their minds. So then we hear from Karnie that, you know, they got to stop Americans. Got to stop with these memes. Really, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. But memes, memes might kill us. Oh, come on. Grow a set, you know what? I may have to send Mark Karnie. I may have to send him the Nobel Prize, which has, as John Thunes face on it, awarded for sacklessness. If you cannot take a meme, you get the Nobel Prize. But it's becoming a real problem, and apparently we're big, big enemies. So, at glimbeck.com, we have a preparedness guide.
5:33And I will tell you, it might sound like a joke, but it is no joke. You can find this preparedness guide, but I wanted to make sure I could get it out as far and as wide as I can. So we've, we've put about, oh, minutes of work into this to give you, no, you're Canadian. A citizen's preparedness guide. Yes, he may look like you, he may talk like you, but you must know the signs. The first rule of preparedness is, do not panic. Observe, identify, respond according to procedure. You can be prepared. Events of the recent months have made one thing clear. The Canadian question can no longer be dismissed as a problem confined to the northern frontier.
6:34With US Canadian tensions at an all-time high, Americans should know how to recognize a Canadian and what to do should an encounter occur. Canadians were once a common winter site in Florida, where they gathered in large numbers before returning to their frozen homeland each spring. Their numbers, yes, have thinned as the trade dispute has intensified, but do not mistake their absence for safety. Canadians may still be found almost anywhere in the United States. More troubling, they look just like us. Canada is a second largest country on Earth occupying nearly 4 million square miles immediately to our north. It touches three oceans and shares 5,000, 2525 miles of border with the United States, the longest international boundary in the world. Canadian authorities refer to the population distribution.
7:35Canada possesses the second largest country on Earth, yet most Canadians have chosen to assemble directly along the American frontier. So it's our duty to know how to spot a Canadian. There is no foolproof method of identifying a Canadian by appearance. The modern Canadian may be a businessman, an accountant, a retiree, or the perfectly ordinary man standing beside you at the Home Depot. He may dress like you, he may drive the same truck, he may speak flawless English for several minutes at a time. The clues are generally subtle. A. 30 degrees and 100. Watch the signs. Listen for A. Ask how far away something is. If the answer comes back in kilometers, note it. Ask the temperature. If it's a beautiful summer day and the answer is 30 degrees, you're not dealing with poor arithmetic.
8:37You're dealing with Celsius. You're dealing with a Canadian. A posted speed limit sign of 100 may sound alarming until you discover the Canadian is traveling only 62 miles an hour. Still, none of these clues are alone conclusive. When suspicion remains, a simple examination may be necessary, because the numbers are designed to look bigger than they are. When in doubt, apply the test, the Canadian test. The purpose of the Canadian test is not to trick the subject, ask ordinary questions, and carefully observe the response. First question. What are your thoughts on Prime Minister Karney? The typical American will answer, Who? The Canadian may praise him, condemn him, or blame him for everything wrong with their country. The opinion is irrelevant.
9:37Recognition of the name Karney is the clue. Two. What's a double-double? The American will say, It's a hamburger or something related to basketball. The Canadian will immediately begin discussing coffee. Three. What's a loony? The American assumes you mean a crazy person. The Canadian will tell you, It's money. And four. How far is 100 kilometers? The American will immediately ask you while you're using Euro-trash measurements in this country. The Canadian will answer almost automatically, A boot, the distance between medicine hat and Brooks. At this point, identification can generally be considered complete. But what to do once you've identified a Canadian? One. Do not panic.
10:38Do not corner him. A Canadian who realizes he's been identified may become nervous or defensive. Do not corner him. Do not block his path or make sudden movements towards his hockey stick. Two. Secure the children. If children are nearby, calmly move them behind you and create a diversion. A smile, a small pile of ketchup chips, Place several yards away will often be sufficient. Three. Deploy the bait. Do not throw the bait directly at. Do not throw the bait directly at the Canadian. Place it where it can be clearly seen and slowly. And slowly withdraw. Never feed a Canadian by hand. Four. Leave a route north. Always leave an unobstructed path to the north so the Canadian has means of escape. And five.
11:38Reserve the Olympic option. Should he become agitated and begin discussing tariffs, sovereignty or the 51st state, avoid argument. Beak in a low, even voice and allow the display to exhaust itself naturally. Under no circumstances should you immediately mention that the United States won both Olympic hockey gold medals over Canada in 2026. That is an emergency measure and should only be used after all peaceful options have failed. And a final word on preparedness. The prepared citizen does not panic. He observes, he identifies and responds according to procedure. Once identification is confirmed, secure the children, deploy the bait and maintain a clear route north. When the Canadian has withdrawn, notify your neighbors. Remember. Where there's one Canadian, there may always be others.
12:39Back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about chapter. Imagine walking into a restaurant and asking the waiter what's the best thing on the menu. And he says, definitely the stake. Great, except you find out he gets paid an extra 50 bucks every time somebody orders the stake. Well, hang on. The stake may be fantastic, but I like a second option. You know, when somebody is helping you make an important decision, you want to know what's motivating their advice. That's the one thing I like about chapter. Chapters, license, Medicare advisors help you compare all the Medicare plans available to you. But they aren't paid to push you into one plan or another. And I think these are the only guys that can do it. I know these are the only guys that can look at every single Medicare plan available. Which plan is best for you, not the person selling the plan. Right? They compare every medical plan nationwide.
13:39They have found people an average of $1,100 a year that they are saving now. Healthcare savings, $1,100 a year. And the call is completely free. It takes about 20 minutes. So dial pound 250 and say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250 keyword chapter. 10 seconds station ID. All right. Welcome to the program. Jason. There's a couple of things that we need to talk about first. Tell me the latest on Iran. I will, but you're just going to blow over that you probably just single-handedly destroyed the next trade agreement with Martin Hardy. I mean, if you can't handle a meme, we're done after that. He's under his desk crying. Oh my gosh, they're attacking. They're attacking.
14:39No. Oh my gosh. Chris Brady wrote that up last night from the website. He put it together. It's a really funny. You got to check it out at glenbeck.com. Just the booklet that goes with that is just hysterical. And we saw that in Ricky's like, you should do, you should do a, you know, like an old schoolastic film. And get the music and stuff. Now it's 45 minutes before the show. And I'm like, oh, should I do that? And she's like, yeah, you can do that. That's really easy. I don't have the schoolastic film. So I mean, I'm literally on the website of the National Archives looking for that music, picking the music for it. And so that's as good as it gets guys in 45 minutes. Sorry. It's so great. Yes, but you just did America a national public service. And we thank you. It's so great. That's one of the main comments right now for the torch insiders. Where did Glend find this music? Oh, what you, what you didn't see is Ricky brings this up and then Glend, we always have a meeting right before the radio show.
15:41Glend gets this little smile and he just dives into it. He spent like 30 minutes this morning just diving into and fighting the music. Just try to, I had to go through 200 different cuts and Sarah's looking at me like, please dear God, we're never going to make it. Please tell me you're not going to start the show with it. And I'm like, yeah, I want this monkey off my back. I'm not going to sit there. Sarah, if you would ever spent this much time looking for the perfect music before, I was like, it's been 30 minutes. I'm concerned. We're live in 30 minutes. Oh, no, he's taken longer. Yeah, I mean, that was, I mean, we could have made it really good, but if I had more time. But anyway, I can't, I just, it is so funny. How everybody in Canada is freaking out so much. They're just freaking out. Yeah, it was funny. I was reading a ton of comments. They were saying you have no idea. The Americans have no idea how Canadians are now just, you know, completely, you know, can't stand Americans right now. And I'm just kind of chuckling and I'm like, most Americans not only don't care about that.
16:45We hardly know that there's a Northern border. We hardly even know how to pronounce Canadian. Hardly even do. Like we just, we don't give it a second thought. I mean, we don't, we, it's not that we don't like Canadians. I'm not a Canadian. I love Canadians. They're great, but it's like, you know what you are. You're here. Canada. And no offense to the state I'm about to mention, but you're North Dakota. You're just like North North Dakota. We don't think of any, we don't think of North Dakota ever. And I'm sorry North Dakota. It's like we, it's like we don't, you know, hate North Dakota anything else. We just don't ever think there's no reason for North Dakota ever come up into conversation. You know, it's like Canada. There's nothing. Unless you're talking about John Candy, why bring up Canada? Should I explain? Obviously. I mean, there's another one. John Candy. What's wrong with John Candy?
17:45No, that's a good one. It's just my first thought was Shenaiatwane. But yeah, you're also right. Wait, Shenaiatwane. Really? Oh, you know what? You know what? You know what? I'm not going to, I'm not going to diss. I'm not going to diss because, you know, a culture wall is also from Canada. That's true. And he's great. He should be a Texan. I just don't know what's happening. You just tanked his career. Oh, that's what we should do. We Americans for culture wall. We start, we start being for culture wall. Culture wall will be like, what, what are you doing to me? You're killing me. Come on down. Come on down. You can be American. Oh, so anyway. But there's a lot of things going on. The price of oil has gone up again. And I don't understand this because we're not getting the truth. Somewhere or another. We're not getting the truth. Because everybody is saying that the straight is open. And there's all this oil flowing. And yet, the price of oil keeps going up and up and up and up.
18:47So what's the truth here, Jason? Well, the, I think it was the energy secretary said that there was a record day on Monday, 40 ships escorted out of the straight-of-form moves. It was around 18 million barrels of oil, something like that. So pre-war, it was what was going in and out was 20 million. 20 million. So 18 via ship through the straight doesn't even tell the whole story. Because now it's also going through alternative pipelines across Saudi Arabia, other areas. So there should be more oil coming out right now. Hold on, Jason. I'm sorry. We have breaking news. Can we get into this? This is the judge speaking to the jurors before the deliberations. I instructed you earlier. It's your duty as jurors to accept the law as I stated to you. You should consider all of my instructions as a whole. You may not ignore any instruction or give special attention to any one instruction. You must follow the law as I give it to you, whether you agree with it or not.
19:48The law that I'm instructing you on is the law that's been established by our legislature and our pellet courts. And it applies to everyone. And you must apply the law as I have instructed you that you have a copy of the instructions that I gave you. You should still have them back there with the jury. And with that, you may now resume the rules. Okay, so this is this is the jury apparently says this is up in Plymouth. There is one juror that is hung and is like I'm not changing my mind. And the other jurors are saying that juror is not listening to the law. He will not obey the law. He is not following what the judge has said. Do I have this right, Ricky? Yes, the judge basically, I mean, it's common sense. You have to make a decision based on beyond a reasonable doubt. Now, we don't know whether this lone juror is wanting to convict her or let her off. But the way that the lawyer, the defense lawyer's been talking, it sounds like there is one person who thinks that she's guilty.
20:52Because they're bullying this person. Right. They are. And the defense attorney, and this wife, she says, you know, it looks like it's going to be somebody who's defending or who wants to throw in jail, is because the defense attorney said, we're going to retry tomorrow. That's fine. You know, replace that juror if they won't follow the law or mistrial. It doesn't matter. You know, we'll file again tomorrow because we believe in our case. And they are pushing now. The defense is pushing to have this juror removed. And I don't know enough about this. I don't know the ins and outs on why they're saying he's not following the law on reasonable doubt. I mean, how does somebody, how does somebody say, you know, well, I mean, I guess he could be stupid and say, no, I, you know, I don't doubt that she's sick, but I'm refusing to do. Maybe he said that out loud. But if he's, you know, like, I just assume it's a guy.
21:52But if, you know, that, that juror is saying, you know, I'm sorry. You can't convince me. I just, I don't, I don't think that she was crazy. And it's not beyond a reasonable doubt for me. I don't know how you prove that unless he said it. And then he's violating the law and he should be removed. But we could be close to either having that juror removed because I bet the tension in that room, I bet there are people in that room going, are you kidding me? Stop it. I do not want to come back here Monday morning. Stop it. So we'll see what happens. I bet we get something today. They're going back into the jury room now. Morning, minute. Let me tell you about a friend factor. If you have a dog, you know, and your dog had to submit to an annual performance review, be kind of interesting. Attendance, excellent, enthusiastic, enthusiasm. Really kind of excessive security. Successfully defended the house from the mailman about 1800 times.
22:53Food waste, you know, no, he's good. It's a really outstanding, you know, personal boundaries, needs improvement. Contribution to the household income, zero. And yet somehow he's the employee of the month, every single month. That's a deal with dogs. They contribute almost nothing to the household economy and yet manage to become one of the most important members of the family all the time. They care of him. Friend factor from the people behind relief factor. It's a daily supplement designed to support your dog's joint health, mobility, and healthy inflammatory response as they age. Because you want him active, you want him moving, you want them feeling good enough to continue performing all their essential duties. The mailman will be back tomorrow. Don't worry. The food isn't going to fall off the table by itself. Somebody has to make sure they never go to the bathroom alone. Friend factor, right? Friend factor.

23:58Get the Canadian citizens guide now only at Glennback.com. Welcome to the Glennback program. I want to play a clip of something that went viral a few weeks ago. It is the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy and his daughter. Talking about Harvard, they were taking a tour of everything and going to Harvard. And he's like, no Harvard, no Harvard. Listen to this. Can't say no. To Harvard? Yeah. Well, me and mom can say no. Catholicism to us is everything. It's the basis of our marriage. It's the basis of our family. So I'm nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard. We spend a lot of time nurturing and providing formation for our kids, giving them an environment where they are steeped in faith and values.
25:00And so the idea of dropping her off at a place that would undermine that or try to undo all those things makes me worried. And again, I don't want them to get one viewpoint. I want them to get a lot of different viewpoints. But I don't want them fed only one viewpoint that's contrary to the way my kids were raised. My problem is we have thought about how we raised you and how hard we've worked to, I think, raise what is a remarkable young girl. If I send you there, I think what happens is they have professionalized, figuring out how they can take good young girls like you and I think corrupt their minds. You don't have to believe what I believe. You don't have to have the political viewpoints that I have. But I do think it's important that you make those choices for yourself and you have a fair representation of what they are. That is Sean Duffy, he's the 20th US Secretary of Transportation. Joining us also is his daughter, not the daughter that was in that video.
26:03Another daughter, Avita Duffy Elfonzo. She's an American conservative journalist, political commentator. She's the eldest daughter of Secretary Duffy. Secretary, welcome to the program. Before we get into the conversation about Harvard, I want to talk about the announcement you made with the DOJ to close the truck driving schools in an attempt to address fraud. Do you want to make a comment on that quickly? Yeah, sure. So the last administration, as you know, Glenn and he've covered, they've let tens of millions of illegals into the country and they thought it would be a great idea to give them truck drivers licenses. And the way they did that was they allowed these fraudulent schools to stand up where they don't train truck drivers. And then there were these truck drivers when they went to the DMV, the DMV would outsource that to third party testers. And it was a scam, a sham system with a lot of fraud. So we've gone back to the schools, the schools that don't allow for English proficiency. They let foreign speakers pass through the school, which by the way is contrary to longstanding American law.
27:08And many of them didn't have trucks. They didn't have places for trucks to drive. They didn't have classrooms. They didn't have curriculums. This was kind of like the Lorraine Center in Minnesota where you pay the money and you got a certificate that you went to the driving school, but you have no skills. And so we're shutting down 160 of those schools. And you've seen this, Americans are dying on American roads, whether they're going to church on Sunday, whether they're going to Walmart. People are losing their lives because the last administration and a lot of liberal states have allowed for unqualified truck drivers to get behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound, what can be a missile and endanger the lives of our fellow neighbors and our family members. And so we've said no more, we shut the schools down and we're bringing order back to trucking in America. By the way, you want these are great American jobs. Glenn, you know, you can make 80, 100 grand a year right out of high school and support your family by yourself a new truck.
28:12And when you compete against the fraudsters, the good competitors, the honest competitors couldn't compete because the foreigners who were fraudually competing were driving down the wages. All right, let me switch because we're going to run out of time. I'd love to talk to you some more, especially about this about schools. I have to tell you, congratulations on saying this. I saw the look on your daughter's face in that video when she said, you know, when you said, well, your mom and your mom and dad can say no. And that is so hard and parents are dealing with this. Why do you feel so strongly about this? Yeah, so Evita, who was my oldest, this was part of our great American road trip. We thought to celebrate America, we should see America. And this was one of the scenes out of one of the road trips we were going to take to look at colleges. And so I think American conservative families are having this conversation every single day because they know whether it's a family member or a friend or a neighbor who has sent their kid off to school. And whether it's a year or four years later, they come back and they're unrecognizable.
29:15We don't know who these kids are. They've been completely contorted and converted from these liberal institutions. So we had a heartfelt conversation with her. She's, by the way, one of my best students. I have nine kids, great little student. She studies really hard and she wanted to go to an Ivy League school. And my heart was set. I know we worked hard to raise you. I want to preserve that when you go to college. We shouldn't just turn you over to the wolves. Well, what's interesting, Glenn is, in Evita, by the way, went to the University of Chicago and she had a great experience when she was there. But most of the liberals who played that clip and attacked our family, there's a great arc to the story because we actually did go to Harvard. And the episode shows this and we met with father Sanders, who is the Catholic Pat Chaplin of the Catholic Center on campus. We had an amazing meeting. He said, and we saw it, the Catholic life, the Christian life on campus is thriving as you've seen young men and women are gravitating towards truth, which is faith.
30:16And in the end of the episode, I said, you know, if you get in, I'll support you in going to Harvard. And by the way, she got in the wait list. She never got off. And we have a unique story where a lot of mine go to the University of Dallas. It's a traditional Catholic school, classical education. And that's right for them. Paloma, who is in that clip, is going to go where Evita went to the University of Chicago. And we have all the faith in her that we raised her well and she is strong enough in her convictions and her faith that she can navigate that just like a Vita dead going to the University of Chicago. So, but Evita, it's my understanding that you did have problem. I mean, you had people say your dad deserved execution. You had death threats, you know, whiteboard incidents. Is that true or not? Yeah, so my dad says I had a good experience. I think what he means is I would never take back that experience. I feel like I was a better person coming out of you Chicago. It was a stronger conservative, but I had a tough time. So at the time, David Axelrod was in charge of the Institute of Politics at you Chicago.
31:19And the harassment that I was getting for being a conservative at you Chicago, specifically for opposing socialism on campus, was so intense. The death threats, the harassment, people saying I didn't deserve to vote, that I didn't deserve to be at the University, attacked my family and my appearance. It got so intense that David Axelrod, Obama's former chief advisor, had to step in and say, hey, you should probably stop harassing this girl. It's having a chilling effect on free speech at the University of Chicago. That's how bad it got. But again, I felt like I was a better person coming out of it. And for the same reason that I don't want to see, and my dad as well, don't want to see the government to the left. We don't want to see the media to the left. We don't want to see our elite academic institutions to the left. And that includes Harvard. That includes you Chicago. And that starts by sending kids who can handle it, assessing if you're a child, and a handler like that. And then also using the power of the federal purse to put pressure on them to be better schools. You can't have DEI, you can't have classes about post-colonial studies or critical race theory or fat studies or queer studies.
32:23These aren't real fields of study. They are net negatives on our society. And we as taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing it. I will tell you, I mean, I've faced this with my own kids. And I've seen what my kids have gone through as well. Because they were my kids, and sometimes not knowing that they were my kids. It doesn't matter. And, you know, it really depends on the kid. Are they strong enough to handle it? But, you know, the problem is, you're young, and everybody wants to be popular. Nobody wants to be the outcast. You have to be beyond strong. Would you agree with that? Both of you? I completely agree with that. And I think it's not just college. There's a lot of people of faith or conservative value. Their kids go to middle school and high school. And when you sit at the dinner table at the end of the day, you have to work on reprogramming them from all of the leftist programming they got in school. So it's not just universities. It's throughout the system. And if you can raise a good kid, I agree with, I agree with Vita that, you know, you should allow the good kids that can handle it to go in.
33:29But what does that mean? Vita, what does that mean? A good kid that can handle it. Again, I've got four great kids. I don't know. I mean, I have suspicion. But it's different when you're alone on campus and you're the one. So, but I'm going to ask you a question. What do you think is the two questions that they asked me, my RA asked me, and all of the other kids on my story, on my floor in college, what I got to campus, the first two questions. They asked me my name and they asked me something else. What do you think they asked me? Political orientation. They asked me, what are your pronouns? What are your pronouns? And what that does is it's a default, right? The default is that there can be multiple genders. That there's no such thing as, as innate biological sex. You can be whatever you think you are. So, when you set up a classroom or your freshman dorm in that way, suddenly you feel extremely alone if you're somebody who does believe in biological sex, just by the way is real and innate and God-given.
34:33So, you're right. It's really difficult. And it's something that I think every parent has to think really hard about before they send their kids to one of these schools. And actually prepare them for what's going to come. Part of why my dad was so concerned about sending a poem to the school is because of the trauma that I experienced at UChicago. But it's also about being informed as a parent to say, hey, you're going to experience this. Somebody's going to ask you your pronouns on campus and you're going to have to not answer that question. How did you answer it? So, it's interesting. I actually, the first time that I was asked that question, I gave my pronouns. And I'm really ashamed to say that because I didn't know what to do. I think if I had had some time to think about it before the question was posed to me, I would have not answered the question. I would have just ignored it because you don't want to be ostracized right off the bat by making some statement like, you know, I'm a girl and it's obvious, right? That would be the answer. Right, right, right. Professor potentially target you. But I didn't even know that question was coming my way when I first got to campus. I think if I had, I wouldn't have answered it that way.
35:39But a lot of kids experience that. And Glenn, you know, as parents, we know our kids better than anybody else, right? And we assess them. We know the strengths and the weaknesses. We know how much pressure they can take. And as you go through that assessment, each one is different. And I have nine and I again, Evita was, she's a, she's a pretty hard tough young woman. And the other good job. But, but some of the other ones I thought if I sent them to a university Chicago, I think the school would have got them. And I was, I was not going to tolerate that. And that's why I sent them to a traditional Catholic, great education, classical school at Udallas. But, but this one, I've assessed her. And I think she can handle it. She's a, she's a smart, you know, hard and hard, but, but, but strong young woman. And so when she, when she has worked really hard and wants to go, I don't want to match that with blunting that dream. Right. And that's, that's the pressure that a parent has. How do I make the right decision? And you don't want to get it wrong because you'll hear about it for the rest of your life. If you make the wrong decision.
36:42And one way or the other. And so with her, again, we went through the Harvard analysis, a conversation that so many conservatives family families have. But then you should go into you Chicago. And after talking to a Vita and in the hardship that she had, she found a great conservative base of kids. They started a paper. The Chicago thinker. And there is a way to plug in with professors and with, and with students. And I think as a CNI dog for lack of a better phrase, Evita can offer that to Paloma. And make her experience way better than a Vita's experience because a Vita's already gone has gone through the fire and can make a Paloma's experience way more pleasurable. Boy, I think you should write a book on it. How to survive and what to expect. I mean, I know as a parent, I would love to have had that for my kids. Before you go, your kids, you have to read this book. This is what's coming your way. This is how to handle it. So they're not surprised. Evita and Secretary Duffy, thank you so much. What a difference between you and Pete Buttigieg. Thank God.
37:44I just want to say quickly before we go, if you want to watch the Great America Road Trip, you can go to the US Department of Transportation's official YouTube channel. We cover this topic and a lot of other social issues that parents might want to talk to their kids about, but also inspiring people to go and experience the country firsthand.
