00:01:03.120 I burned calories on it.

00:01:07.060 So frustrating.

00:01:08.360 We'll get to half of it.

00:01:10.180 The second half of the monologue, I think you're going to have to find probably on the full podcast.

00:01:14.620 But it's an excoriation of the system and pointed directly at our churches.

00:01:23.080 Where are they on this?

00:03:45.120 on Torch, and I want you to share it with everybody you know, anybody you think still

00:03:53.280 has a grasp on their soul, and I don't know the answer, but I see trouble coming, and

00:04:02.780 I am blowing my trumpet.

00:04:08.180 You know, there's something that Jesus said that condemns all of us in this horrific story

00:04:14.860 that is coming out of england 250 000 children have been raped by these rape gangs from these 1.00

00:04:22.020 illegals and the islamists and they've done nothing about it we've lost under biden administration 0.99

00:04:29.440 we just lost misplaced about 500 000 children don't know where they are we found 146 000 of 0.98

00:04:35.940 them trump has they set out to look for them they found out that we were just giving them to anybody

00:04:40.800 and now these children are being found raped time after time after time,

00:04:45.120 day after day after day.

00:04:48.680 There's something that Jesus said that really condemns all of us, I fear.

00:04:53.860 He said, whoever harms one of these little ones, one of these children,

00:04:59.160 it would be better for that man to have a millstone hung around his neck 0.97

00:05:03.280 and drowned in the depth of the sea. 0.99

00:05:05.680 Think of this.

00:05:06.320 This is the gentlest man who ever lived.

00:05:08.860 The one who said, turn the other cheek.

00:05:10.560 the guy who forgave the men driving nails into his own hands,

00:05:16.420 that man looked out and found one thing that was so unforgivable,

00:05:21.140 he reached for the image of a stone tied around the neck

00:05:24.000 and a body sinking into the sea.

00:05:27.040 And what was that one thing?

00:05:29.160 The abuse of a child.

00:05:30.340 i want you to know i condemned me i condemned me first i had a hard time making these notes

00:05:45.640 and thinking about it i mean i talked to my wife about it for an hour last night i called a friends

00:05:50.680 and talked to them and i said i i don't know i don't know how to do this because i don't know

00:05:54.620 what the answer is. I do know that there are people that should be on this 24-7, so I have

00:06:00.500 a question for those people. I have a question of the men of the cloth. Where the hell are you?

00:06:06.840 Where are our pastors and our priests and our rabbis? Where are the pulpits? A quarter of a 0.96

00:06:13.540 million children raped in England while every institution looked away. Hundreds of thousands

00:06:19.880 of children handed to traffickers on our own soil while the people who run our country filed

00:06:25.360 all the paperwork for it. And the single most explicit warning Christ ever gave is being violated

00:06:32.720 on an industrial scale in our lifetime, in our towns. And the house of God is so quiet, it is

00:06:41.940 staggering. I know you know the story because you preach it every year. Man's beaten, left it half

00:06:49.580 dead in a ditch. Who walks past him? Not the criminals. They're already gone. Who walks past

00:06:55.040 him? Pastor. It's the priest. It's the Levite. It's the religious professionals, the credentialed,

00:07:02.720 the robe, the respectable. They see the bleeding man and they cross to the other side of the road

00:07:09.120 so they don't have to deal with it. You have preached this parable a thousand times.

00:07:13.800 Did you ever think that maybe you were preaching it about you?

00:07:22.580 Because I think that's where many of our pastors and our priests and our rabbis are.

00:07:28.720 They're on the other side of the road.

00:07:32.940 You know, I say what I mean and I mean what I say.

00:07:37.160 So let me say something. 0.97

00:07:38.340 are all of you overeducated self-righteous color wearing clerics anything more than 0.89

00:07:45.840 fundraisers middle management cowards and paper tigers is that all you are are you more worried 0.78

00:07:53.340 about your title your paycheck your tithing receipts your building fund your standing in 0.77

00:07:59.300 the community if i say something i might offend jesus told you exactly what you are when you do

00:08:06.940 this. He said the good shepherd will lay down his life for the sheep. But the hireling, the man

00:08:14.660 who's only in it for the wage, the moment he sees the wolf coming, he runs. He leaves the sheep. He

00:08:21.220 runs because he never loved them in the first place. He loved the job. While you run, while you

00:08:30.520 day silent evil rampages. And what are you doing? Honestly, what are you doing? You're at your desk

00:08:38.460 polishing up another clever little sermon, three points and a poem that half your congregation is

00:08:45.440 going to sleep through anyway. Do you honestly believe with what's going on in the world that

00:08:50.380 the thing you're talking about next Sunday, the thing you're doing today is the thing that Jesus

00:08:55.080 would be doing his children are the most sacred among us they're mutilating them losing them and 0.97

00:09:02.720 raping them but you're busy workshopping your sunday talk while they're being devoured 0.97

00:09:10.140 you want to know why your church is so empty this is why real evil is on the hunt and you don't

00:09:18.620 address it. Our churches are a ship in a storm without a captain or a rudder.

00:09:27.780 Martin Luther King, who is by far not a perfect person, by far, marched for no less than what's

00:09:33.940 happening to these children today. And do you remember what his great disappointment was?

00:09:39.780 It wasn't the men with the dogs and the hoses. When he was sitting in a jail cell in Birmingham,

00:09:45.420 he wrote the hardest words

00:09:47.120 to the clergy

00:09:48.660 to the good, decent, educated

00:09:51.260 white pastors who told him to be patient

00:09:53.560 to wait, don't make trouble

00:09:55.640 he said he had almost

00:09:57.520 concluded that the great stumbling block

00:09:59.400 was not the obvious villain

00:10:01.100 but the moderate

00:10:02.320 the more devoted to order than to justice

00:10:05.420 the one who agreed with the goal in private

00:10:07.580 and did nothing in public

00:10:09.260 he said

00:10:11.460 in the end

00:10:11.960 we're not going to remember the words of our enemies

00:10:15.120 we will remember the silence of our friends.

00:10:19.820 The silence.

00:10:20.860 I'm not going to remember your Sunday sermon.

00:10:23.920 But I think we will remember the silence.

00:10:30.480 That's what's being recorded.

00:10:32.300 Not the screaming of the wicked.

00:10:34.300 We expect that.

00:10:35.820 But the silence of the shepherds.

00:10:39.640 Do you know why I fear

00:10:40.880 Tommy Robinson might fail in his efforts in Great Britain?

00:10:45.120 Not because he isn't right, not because he isn't smart,

00:10:47.620 but because England doesn't have a figure like Martin Luther King to model.

00:10:51.560 The churches aren't there.

00:10:53.520 The churches are literally working for the king.

00:10:58.940 They don't believe the Bible is supreme.

00:11:01.120 They don't even believe the Bible is true.

00:11:02.460 They hide behind and empower their real king. 0.77

00:11:07.540 And it ain't Jesus.

00:11:08.820 It's King Charles.

00:11:10.160 how many of our pastors priests and rabbis are hiding behind the government

00:11:15.620 how many of them will say this is a political matter it's a state matter it's not the church's

00:11:20.860 place well let me remind you who these children are okay render unto caesar that which is caesar's

00:11:29.520 give caesar his coin i don't know if you've noticed this pastor but a child is not caesar's

00:11:36.560 coin. A child does not bear Caesar's image. A child bears the image of God.

00:11:51.640 Our children do not belong to the state. They never did. Caesar has no jurisdiction there.

00:11:59.680 And any pastor who treats the mutilation or trafficking of God's children as somebody else's

00:12:05.420 department has handed to caesar the one thing caesar was never permitted to touch

00:12:09.820 look what you're spending your days on all of our churches we argue doctrine we argue the fine print

00:12:21.320 we spend our strength on i'm more righteous than you my denomination is purer than your

00:12:26.500 denomination my theology is more correct than your theology well that's because i know it's true

00:12:32.820 because we're more righteous than they are.

00:12:35.080 You've turned faith into a debating society

00:12:38.140 while the wolves are emptying our nurseries.

00:12:46.120 James said, faith without works is dead.

00:12:49.300 Oh, no, no, no, we've got the great stuff.

00:12:51.540 Faith without works is dead.

00:12:55.160 A faith that can argue theology

00:12:57.320 or end times prophecy for three hours, 0.99

00:13:00.040 but can't walk into the street for a raped child 0.95

00:13:03.460 is a corpse in a nice suit. 0.98

00:13:10.700 Try to outrun this one.

00:13:13.720 Try to outrun it because it's in your own book.

00:13:15.500 I read it.

00:13:16.060 I know it.

00:13:16.620 I take it sincerely.

00:13:18.260 Ezekiel.

00:13:20.280 The watchman on the wall.

00:13:22.460 God says if the watchman...

00:13:24.040 If the watchman sees a sword coming

00:13:35.120 And does not blow the trumpet

00:13:36.920 And the people die

00:13:39.940 The blood is on the watchman's hands

00:13:43.860 Not the enemy's, the watchman's

00:13:45.660 You are posted on the wall

00:13:47.520 You see the sword, you saw it, you said nothing

00:13:51.360 so understand what's being written if you continue to remain silent if the church keeps its head down

00:13:58.400 while the blood of innocence runs and the freedom that was exhausted to us to guard and to hand to

00:14:05.540 those very children the next generation is lost there's going to be a receipt for that failure

00:14:11.040 and your name is on that list.

00:14:18.260 It'll be yours.

00:14:19.520 It'll be mine.

00:14:20.620 It'll be our churches, your church, my church.

00:14:23.540 I'm not standing outside of this.

00:14:25.520 I'm in it with you.

00:14:29.540 And that's why I won't be quiet about it.

00:14:34.380 So let me ask you, what's it going to take

00:14:36.140 to get you off your self-righteous backside and lead?

00:14:38.920 not to riot but to do what king did to do what the abolitionist preachers did to wake your people up

00:14:48.900 and put them peacefully prayerfully immovably into the street into the public square

00:14:55.240 into the face of every official who looks away and not sit back down until the every last one

00:15:04.580 of these children have found and every coward who enabled this is out of power wake up for the love

00:15:11.060 of the god you claim to serve wake up your flock is being eaten by wolves

00:15:17.760 and you were given a staff for exactly this

00:15:29.160 father's day is coming up it's right around the corner and every year we all go through exactly

00:15:36.260 the same exercise we try to find a gift for dad even though most dads spend their whole lives

00:15:40.200 you know insisting i don't need anything the best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones

00:15:44.520 they're the things that a man reaches for time and time again over and over the things have become

00:15:48.520 part of his daily life because they're well made they're comfortable and they're built to last

00:15:52.520 that's why i think american giant makes so much sense for father's day they make premium hoodies

00:15:57.240 Great t-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States.

00:16:02.640 Their cotton is grown here.

00:16:04.300 Their clothes are cut and sewn here.

00:16:06.080 And the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way.

00:16:10.620 The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on.

00:16:14.140 And it keeps feeling great years later.

00:16:31.740 Glenn Beck program. All right, let me tell you exactly what's in this MOU. We're coming to the

00:16:38.540 end, perhaps, of this war with Iran. And let me tell you what's in it, and then I'll tell you 0.94

00:16:45.120 what it means, because those are two different conversations. One, the first part, I'm going to

00:16:52.120 give you facts. The second part, I'm going to give you opinion. And my opinion is worth just

00:16:56.040 as much as your opinion is. So take it for what it's worth. What's the MOU? It's a 14 point

00:17:03.560 memorandum. Let's start with the part that everybody on Trump's coalition, everybody on

00:17:09.720 his side is up in arms about and open revolt. There is a reconstruction plan for Iran worth

00:17:17.600 at least 300 billion dollars built with regional partners and the united states issuing the license

00:17:24.860 to move the money it's not our money it's not your money it's not a man not american dime will go to

00:17:30.740 this but every frozen iranian asset will be unfrozen and made fully spendable payable to

00:17:38.100 whomever the iran central bank points to that doesn't sound good the treasury is then starting

00:17:46.240 to issue oil export waivers immediately so Tehran can sell crude right now. And on a schedule,

00:17:54.760 every sanction comes off. Let me say that again. On a schedule, all sanctions come off. The UN,

00:18:01.980 the nuclear watchdog, our own sanctions. We've had these sanctions in place since 1979.

00:18:08.060 Now the nuclear heart of it, because this is where the war was supposedly fought. 0.76

00:18:12.320 Iran has to reaffirm it will not build a weapon

00:18:16.360 It's stockpiled of enriched material 0.98

00:18:19.880 Doesn't leave the country

00:18:21.300 It will get watered down on site under inspection

00:18:26.260 Oh, UN inspectors

00:18:28.360 And the enrichment

00:18:30.600 Not ended, just to be discussed

00:18:34.640 Not happy with any of that

00:18:40.460 meanwhile the status quo holds Iran keeps its program where it is we had no new sanctions and

00:18:48.420 no new forces on the Strait of Hormuz free passage is guaranteed for 60 days only and then

00:18:54.720 the future quote administration of the strait gets negotiated with Oman and the Gulf states

00:19:01.500 which a lot of people are reading as the doors left wide open for Iran to charge tolls down the

00:19:05.860 road i don't know that's speculation now the president is saying out loud that iran gets to

00:19:12.560 keep some of its missiles and some enrichment walking back the very things the war was started

00:19:18.040 to take out okay so that's the bad side and there's a lot to be said for the bad side on this

00:19:24.380 one okay but hear me out now let me give you the other side of the ledger here's the good stuff

00:19:30.100 none of this is a treaty this is a mou a memo of understanding that's it okay it's a roadmap

00:19:37.400 and a 60-day clock either side can walk at any time the money and the relief are sequenced

00:19:45.840 against iran actually doing things so it's not like we're opening up the bank account

00:19:50.400 and again it's not coming from us this is their money but we don't release any of that money and

00:19:57.040 It doesn't go all at once.

00:19:59.260 They have to do things.

00:20:00.200 They have to open the strait.

00:20:01.340 They have to clear the mines.

00:20:02.640 You cleared the mines.

00:20:03.700 We verified you cleared the mines.

00:20:05.100 Okay, here's a little bit more of your money.

00:20:07.440 They have to let the oil and the inspectors flow.

00:20:10.220 The minute they don't, they don't get the money.

00:20:12.880 There is a monitoring mechanism.

00:20:15.740 A final deal will have to be locked in by the Security Council.

00:20:19.100 Our forces don't fully leave until 30 days after that final deal.

00:20:24.080 So until then, we're sitting right off their coast, and we're ready to go.

00:20:28.680 Trump's message is, if it falls apart, I've got four words.

00:20:34.320 Go back to bombing.

00:20:37.380 That's the deal.

00:20:38.700 That's the memo of understanding.

00:20:42.520 Now, what do I think about it?

00:20:47.940 Take it for what it's worth.

00:20:49.340 this war started 0.84

00:20:54.880 to stop them from bombing people and building missiles 0.92

00:21:00.480 we hoped that it would end in freedom but we've learned two lessons this war has taught us two 0.97

00:21:08.180 things lesson number one the 12ers are not going anywhere anywhere these are the radicals that 1.00

00:21:15.380 believe they can wash the world in blood and bring about the return of the Mahadi. It is crazy.

00:21:21.360 These are the apocalyptic clerics and the generals, the ones whose whole theology runs this country

00:21:27.580 now from beginning to end. We bombed and the moderates did not rise to the top. We killed

00:21:34.460 and they did not. Instead, the IRGC got stronger. We bombed. We made it possible for it to be

00:21:42.960 weakened, the people did not pour into the streets to finish it. The people that were in power that

00:21:49.160 could have stopped the IRGC did not stop the IRGC. The people who still pray for the end of the world 0.96

00:21:58.400 to come so the Mahadi can return, those are the people who hold the country today. And that teaches 1.00

00:22:04.200 you something really hard. If your actual goal is to end the regime, not bruise it, but to end it,

00:22:10.080 There is only one model in history that will do that, and it's the one we ran on Germany and Japan in 1945, and that is total defeat. 0.96

00:22:20.700 Occupation, dismantle the apparatus, try and hang the leadership, denazify the entire machine, and build it into something that can't do this again by using the Iranian people. 1.00

00:22:34.520 Okay, that's the only thing that has worked in the past 1.00

00:22:37.780 and the only thing that will work in the future.

00:22:41.260 But that requires two things that we don't have.

00:22:45.800 So before everybody gets all hot and bothered

00:22:48.420 and oh my gosh, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump,

00:22:51.320 can we just look at ourselves for a minute?

00:22:54.980 There are two things that we don't have

00:22:56.640 or won't give American troops on the ground.

00:23:01.620 I won't, I don't want American troops on the ground there.

00:23:03.900 I don't want it.

00:23:05.440 So no go zone.

00:23:06.980 And I'm not alone.

00:23:08.520 Everybody on all sides says no troops on the ground.

00:23:12.420 Okay? 1.00

00:23:13.660 Two, an Iranian public ready to go and pick up the rubble 1.00

00:23:17.540 and build a free country out of it. 1.00

00:23:19.960 Don't see it yet.

00:23:21.340 I don't.

00:23:22.660 Without both of those things, you are not going to end the regime.

00:23:26.700 The only thing you can do is postpone it.

00:23:30.480 Lesson two.

00:23:32.340 We only lose wars in the United States that we refuse to fight

00:23:36.580 or the ones that we get bored of or are too inconvenient for us.

00:23:40.980 That is the ceiling of war.

00:23:43.720 The whole world knows it. 0.59

00:23:45.000 That's the real ceiling.

00:23:46.720 That's the one that decided this. 0.99

00:23:49.340 What was that one thing that we decided to choose over trying to fix Iran

00:23:55.460 or whatever it is we were going to do?

00:23:57.580 What is the thing that outweighed that?

00:24:01.340 the price of gasoline. Period. I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm not saying that's not a real

00:24:06.580 concern. I'm just telling you the truth. What decided how we fight this war was the price of

00:24:12.800 gasoline. Americans had no tolerance for high price of gas. The American appetite for this fight

00:24:20.060 ran exactly as deep as the number on the sign at the corner gas station. Iran has known that for 0.68

00:24:26.940 40 years. It's the whole reason the Strait of Hormuz exists in their strategy. The world knows 0.97

00:24:33.200 it, and Donald Trump knows it better than anybody. He cannot go one step further than the American

00:24:39.980 people will carry him, and the vast majority of the American people are tied directly to the price

00:24:46.460 of gas. The American people, the vast majority, do not see Iran as a problem. They are not willing

00:24:53.700 to look at a long-term solution they do not and i'm not judging i'm just telling you the facts

00:25:00.020 they do not believe that we have a fight that we should fight with iran the majority of people

00:25:07.840 and that's how it works when a president who's not a dictator is trying to do something that

00:25:14.240 the people have no stomach for that's the way it works in a republic which we have dictators

00:25:21.040 would have just kept going notice the difference democrats so now put these two lessons together

00:25:29.000 and ask the honest question the one the people that are screaming he betrayed us won't ask

00:25:35.140 knowing that the regime survives anything short of a ground war knowing that the public's patience

00:25:43.100 and at the pump what did you expect him to do what exactly could he have done what exactly kind

00:25:52.440 what kind of deal would you have gotten that would have been better without changing either

00:25:59.440 one of those facts what kind of deal do you expect when congress while we were negotiating

00:26:05.680 was saying, you've got to stop this

00:26:09.260 and we're voting for you to stop this war.

00:26:12.520 What exactly kind of good deal

00:26:15.540 do you think we would have gotten?

00:26:19.040 Okay, so let me give you my read

00:26:20.680 and it's not a certainty.

00:26:22.300 It's just a read, okay?

00:26:25.160 He set them back.

00:26:26.860 That is not what I wanted.

00:26:28.940 That's not, I don't think what you wanted.

00:26:31.000 That's not what the left wanted.

00:26:32.760 They didn't want them set back,

00:26:34.160 but he set him back he kicked the can down the road at least five years i didn't want him to

00:26:42.520 kick the can down the road he didn't want to kick the can down the road but he also didn't want to

00:26:49.520 own what he didn't want a war in the middle east that we were stuck in and neither did you neither

00:26:56.920 did I. So, set some back on the missiles and the bombs. This is temporary. This is not a fix.

00:27:05.900 We can never, ever, ever, ever trust the Iranian leadership. Ever. But a five-year setback 0.99

00:27:14.360 bought with bombs and very few American funerals is still worth doing. Now, me personally, I would

00:27:21.960 rather fight iran in my lifetime than to fight that hand that fight to my children and i suspect

00:27:28.740 you feel the same but the vast majority of our neighbors do all of their math at the gas pump

00:27:35.260 not at the map not thinking about the future that's the country we live in that's the country

00:27:42.040 trump is governing that's the board he must play on because let me say it again he's not a dictator

00:27:50.100 so will i tell you that this worked out the way i hoped it would nope didn't didn't not the way

00:27:59.540 i hoped it would work out not the way i prayed it would work out not what i was expecting

00:28:04.360 but cursing the deal is not a plan so i i'm sorry i don't i'm sorry i'm coming off i fear

00:28:12.760 that i'm yelling at you and i'm not yelling at you i think you are just as frustrated as i am

00:28:17.580 But what I am frustrated with is the people, even on our own side, they want to have it both ways.

00:28:23.360 They want to have it both ways.

00:28:24.260 They want to be able to vote and say, stop this war, stop this war, and then complain when you don't get a good deal.

00:28:32.240 Of course you're not going to get a good deal.

00:28:34.800 These weasels in Washington drive me out of my ever-loving, I better take off my aura ring, or it's just going to show horrible things.

00:28:41.960 My wife's going to say, you guys, which really smashes me out even more.

00:28:46.640 Anyway, here's the solution. 0.77

00:28:49.980 If money is going to flow to Iran, and I hate every dollar of that,

00:28:55.060 then it has to flow on the shortest leash ever put on a regime. 0.60

00:28:59.620 Carrot and stick.

00:29:01.180 The carrot has to be real.

00:29:02.760 It gets metered out one tranche at a time.

00:29:06.020 Every dollar of that $300 billion, every unfrozen asset sits in escrow.

00:29:11.720 It's administered through our Gulf partners, which I don't like, 0.74

00:29:14.960 But it must be tracked end-to-end, accounted for down to the penny, so we know that built a road and that built a rocket. 0.95

00:29:23.080 Inspectors have to watch the enriched material get watered down on site, on camera, for everyone to see.

00:29:30.560 Hormuz, Atoll, that is a tripwire. 60-day clock, tripwire.

00:29:35.980 The enrichment that they want to discuss, tripwire.

00:29:39.000 and the and the first time and i mean the very first time they cross one of those trip wires

00:29:46.220 the money must stop that hour that minute no warning no extension it's shut off snapback

00:29:54.020 sanctions back on posture back and the thing the promise the president already promised

00:29:59.780 bomb the snot out of them must become real we keep our forces in position and the threat believable

00:30:06.600 because that's the only language this regime has ever respected and that is the credible promise

00:30:13.040 of force. That's the doctrine. It sits on a bumper sticker and it's fine and everyone can understand

00:30:19.340 it. Here's the thing. Americans refuse a ruthless war. Nobody wants a ruthless war. No one. They

00:30:28.640 won't. We will not tolerate it. They have told us plainly, Congress, the weasels, plainly,

00:30:35.080 and they're not wrong for being tired weasels in washington are different than the average person 0.99

00:30:41.220 you're tired they're scumbags here's the thing 0.98

00:30:44.780 we have to hand uh the only alternative that will keep us safe to the iranians and that is 0.99

00:30:58.320 not a soft peace, not a hopeful peace, not a trusting peace. This, for this to work,

00:31:05.900 this must be a ruthless peace. We won't fight a ruthless war, then we must have ruthless peace

00:31:13.340 enforced with zero, zero. Oh, what about the children? None of that. Zero benefit of the

00:31:20.240 out instant consequences if we won't fight a ruthless war fine then we must have a ruthless

00:31:29.140 peace that's the assignment everything else is noise noise from the podcasters noise from

00:31:37.300 congress noise from the political parties noise at the gas pump everything else is noise ruthless

00:31:44.500 peace period

00:31:46.800 I personally

00:31:51.060 I don't see this as a

00:31:54.840 loss of Donald Trump I see

00:31:56.940 this as a loss by

00:31:58.920 the Americans

00:32:00.900 the American

00:32:03.020 people honestly

00:32:04.680 I think and

00:32:06.420 politicians mainly

00:32:08.820 they have played games with this

00:32:11.100 everybody knows their day everyone

00:32:12.980 in washington knows who these guys are everybody knows who they are we have some people in our

00:32:19.400 congress that want them to win because quite honestly i believe they're islamists um you have 0.91

00:32:26.140 all this propaganda that has been coming in from iran from iran all flooding our country and you've 0.94

00:32:34.400 had our podcasters you've had uh our population retweet uh bolster iran believe iran you cannot 0.69

00:32:43.520 win a war with that kind of population you can't so what do you have you have the best you can do

00:32:53.180 which is kick it down and hope for sanity down the road now let's hold a ruthless peace

00:33:00.960 god bless donald trump because i know he'll do it i don't know about the next president i don't

00:33:06.300 know about the next congress but he'll do it this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:33:13.400 you know the answers that we're looking for we think they have to be complex but

00:33:20.220 um they're really not they're really not 250 years ago a group of men uh sat in a hot

00:33:27.400 Philadelphia room, and they signed their names to a piece of paper, and they signed away their

00:33:32.440 safety. They knew that most likely they were going to die. It was a death warrant, and they pledged

00:33:38.680 their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, and they meant every word. I know it because I've

00:33:44.100 been doing a lot of research on the signing of the declaration. I've got some things coming up

00:33:47.320 in the next couple of weeks that I've learned so much about these men that I can't wait to share

00:33:53.200 with you i'm sitting here in a small town just outside i'm actually in a smaller town than this

00:34:03.700 small town preston um but it's one of the neighboring towns and it's just different here

00:34:13.380 it's just different small towns are different all around america you know they are and they

00:34:19.480 couldn't have imagined our founders this small little town in southeastern idaho with the bear

00:34:25.480 river running cold through the mountains and the alfalfa and the grain stretching out green and

00:34:31.180 gold under a sky that is so big sometimes it just makes you feel small in all the best ways makes

00:34:35.760 just feel small and while our founders couldn't have imagined preston or even idaho

00:34:43.640 this is what they fought for this is what they were fighting for these small little towns our

00:34:50.780 answers lie there in a few weeks uh there is something i look forward to every year it's

00:34:58.760 called that famous preston night rodeo um and it was the first rodeo ever in the united states to

00:35:07.140 be under electric lights that's why they call it famous it's not the biggest rodeo it is great i

00:35:12.860 just love it i love it you go there and you can hear the chutes rattle and the the announcer

00:35:18.060 crackle over the loudspeakers and the gate clang open and then a 2 000 pound bull just comes

00:35:24.780 running out of the chute with you know some 20 something kid riding the wrath of god and he's

00:35:31.180 just trying to hold on you know for eight seconds with nothing but a rope and a prayer and more

00:35:36.180 nerve than sense and he bucks off and he's on the ground and thank god that kid gets up and he

00:35:43.040 dusts off his hat and he laughs and looks at his friends nods at his friends and then he does it

00:35:48.220 again that's america gang that's america that's who we are we get bucked off and we get back up

00:36:02.620 again we've forgotten our small towns and that's where the answer lies you know in preston it's

00:36:16.420 still a town that goes quiet on sunday and the fields rest and there's no machinery that's turned

00:36:21.640 on and the stores lock their doors and they didn't pass a law to make it so they're just

00:36:26.300 people have decided that some things are are bigger than you know commerce and making money

00:36:33.120 One in seven belongs to the Lord and to the family,

00:36:35.700 and it's a kind of stillness that happens in at least this small town

00:36:40.720 that lets a soul catch its breath after a busy week.

00:36:45.960 And that's something that the frantic world has forgotten.

00:36:52.700 But out in our small towns, they never did.

00:37:00.000 We remember the basics.

00:37:01.440 You know, I love living in a farming community because when a man's crop doesn't come in, when the hail takes the wheat or the back goes out or cancer comes to your house, the neighbors don't form a committee.

00:37:20.540 they just show up

00:37:22.640 and the combines that you didn't ask for

00:37:25.640 just

00:37:25.960 gloriously appear

00:37:32.820 in your field

00:37:34.060 the casseroles that you didn't request

00:37:40.100 just fill your kitchen

00:37:41.120 nobody's there, nobody's making a speech about it

00:37:44.280 nobody posts about it, they just do it

00:37:46.220 because that's what you do

00:37:47.260 and then they go home before you can even thank them

00:37:50.360 properly.

00:37:54.300 There's no government program that can do that.

00:37:59.320 Nothing the government can do can even come close to that.

00:38:02.360 It's grown like everything good out here in the soil.

00:38:06.440 It's been worked by the same families for generations.

00:38:12.960 And the strange yet beautiful thing that I'm just becoming,

00:38:17.140 to just getting to the place to where I can see it.

00:38:23.620 The youth in these towns, they just can't wait to leave.

00:38:27.360 They count the days.

00:38:29.580 They lie in bed at 16, staring at the ceiling,

00:38:32.900 certain that life, real life, big life,

00:38:35.640 is happening somewhere else,

00:38:37.420 somewhere in a city with bright lights

00:38:39.040 and no curfew and no chores at 5 a.m.

00:38:41.940 And so they go, and we let them go.

00:38:45.200 and then they go out into the big wide world

00:38:48.540 and something funny happens to them.

00:38:50.100 They find the lights and they find them cold.

00:38:52.640 It might take them a while.

00:38:54.680 They find the crowds and they find themselves lonely in the crowd.

00:38:59.900 And one day, they're driving home from the airport,

00:39:04.260 coming home for Christmas.

00:39:06.400 They're driving down this road.

00:39:07.740 They could drive blindfolded and they crest that last hill

00:39:14.980 they see that

00:39:21.580 valley that they couldn't wait to get out of

00:39:26.220 just lying there in front of them

00:39:29.440 and something in their chest just cracks open

00:39:33.180 and they realize the big life

00:39:36.860 the real life was here the whole time

00:39:40.200 and they spend years trying to get back

00:39:45.540 and some make it, the lucky ones make it back home

00:39:48.400 because what these small towns all across America raise

00:39:55.480 it's not crops, not really

00:39:59.860 these small towns, these small little farming communities

00:40:04.520 they raise the kind of man that

00:40:08.520 that doesn't ask what's in it for me.

00:40:13.800 They raise the kind of kids that fix a fence,

00:40:17.400 not because somebody's watching,

00:40:19.220 and not really even because somebody asked them to.

00:40:21.880 They raise the kind of men who keep their word

00:40:24.400 when nobody is watching, keeping their word,

00:40:28.600 when it costs them something.

00:40:33.460 These small towns raise the kind of people

00:40:35.640 when everything is falling apart

00:40:37.700 and the path forward is dark

00:40:38.980 and nobody would blame them for quitting.

00:40:41.780 They just go and do the next right thing

00:40:43.840 and then the next one

00:40:45.900 and then the next one

00:40:47.380 and the next one.

00:40:49.060 No reward.

00:40:51.120 Just the quiet, stubborn, unglamorous decency

00:40:55.160 that built this country

00:40:57.960 one honest day at a time.

00:41:02.780 We're looking for answers.

00:41:05.060 Want to know how to fix things?

00:41:07.700 Look to the cowboy.

00:41:10.440 Look to the farmer.

00:41:12.840 Look to the rancher with the cracked hands and worn-out Bible and a flag.

00:41:30.400 And a flag on a porch that he salutes every time.

00:41:36.340 Like he means it.

00:41:37.700 because he does.

00:41:49.540 We look for our answer in these marbled halls of Washington.

00:41:56.360 America was not built in those marbled halls.

00:42:00.140 They built it in fields,

00:42:03.520 just like the one outside of my front porch.

00:42:07.700 in towns just like Weston and Preston, Idaho.

00:42:17.520 They built it with one calloused handshake at a time.

00:42:22.480 The men in Philadelphia, they lit the fire.

00:42:25.780 But people like you,

00:42:29.060 you're the ones who have kept it burning for 250 years.

00:42:34.520 You already have the answer.

00:42:37.700 all you have to do is just keep living it don't give up here's cnn play cut three here's cnn

00:42:49.200 uh talking about democrats and what they found about democrats on the fourth of july listen

00:42:53.620 what does july 4th mean to you celebrate america friends and family time among republicans what

00:42:59.480 do you see you see the clear majority say it's a time to celebrate america 65 among democrats

00:43:05.180 However, the plurality disagree. Look at that. What do you see? Friends and family time at 42 percent versus just 24 percent who say that what it means most to them is to celebrate America.

00:43:15.620 What do they say about the flag, even on the basic level of flag? Look at this. Look at how we have an increasing polarization on this issue.

00:43:23.760 We'll display the flag on July 4th, the American flag back in July of 2001.

00:43:28.640 Come on, look at this. You had 68 percent of Republicans, 65 percent of Democrats saying that they would, in fact, display the flag on July 4th.

00:43:36.460 You come over to this side of the screen. Republicans basically are where they were 25 years ago.

00:43:41.660 Right. Sixty four percent. But look at that Democratic percentage. Absolutely plummeting.

00:43:46.080 Just 27 percent of Democrats say they will, in fact, display the flag on July 4th.

00:43:51.820 What about this idea? Are you proud to be an American, extremely or very proud to be an American?

00:43:57.060 Again, look at this divide, a growing divide on this question.

00:44:02.260 Back in January of 2001, 90% of Republicans, 85% of Democrats.

00:44:07.440 This was after a very contentious 2000 election, keep in mind, right, with George W. Bush coming into the White House.

00:44:13.600 You come over to this side of the screen in 2026, look at this.

00:44:17.000 Again, the Democratic percentage absolutely plummets to just 29% of Democrats say they're extremely or very proud to be an American.

00:44:25.160 That Republican percentage, the exact same, 90 and 90, the Democratic percentage.

00:44:30.680 What is that?

00:44:31.400 That's basically a third of the level that it was just 25 years ago.

00:44:37.940 That's shocking.

00:44:40.080 You know what I did with my wife yesterday?

00:44:42.660 My wife and I, we went out.

00:44:44.520 We went to Walmart.

00:44:46.860 We bought, what was it, 350 two-foot flags?

00:44:55.160 and we put them on our fence posts all along the highway all the way down down the highway
