00:00:00.000 Before you knew what a stock was, you traded snacks, cards, turns. That instinct to trade
00:00:06.120 didn't disappear. It just grew up. With no minimums, no monthly fees, and 100 free trades,
00:00:11.940 TD Easy Trade taps into that instinct. Because you are made to trade, and TD Easy Trade is made

00:04:02.980 Now let's get to work.
00:04:08.880 all right so the suspect of the terror arson attack on the federal immigration court
00:04:21.120 building in manhattan yesterday has been identified now he's a 43 year old guy
00:04:26.340 andrew john uh arapica i think i don't know army veteran officials say he came
00:04:35.080 armed with two axes a hammer a machete and three knives he went and he poured gasoline all over
00:04:45.200 the building it's a stone building so he's not quite he didn't bring a lot of brains with him
00:04:50.720 maybe had a couple of machetes but not a lot of brains so he pours gasoline all over this
00:04:55.620 building and then he sets it on fire well they catch him pretty quickly they take him down and
00:05:00.880 he was carrying anti-ice literature he yelled anti-ice statements as he was being arrested
00:05:07.560 and he is a long time that's going to come as a surprise to you a long time leftist climate change
00:05:15.460 activist he has also participated in pro-palestinian marches and causes voter registration show that
00:05:23.860 he has previously been registered as a democrat and also with the working families party which
00:05:29.260 is kind of a socialist group here's what i find interesting now let me give you one more fact
00:05:36.960 this is according to andy no he maintains fetish accounts online where he expresses interests and
00:05:45.000 this is i'm not giving this to you because it's salacious i'm giving to for a reason you understand
00:05:51.480 interest in defecation and bondage adult content creators he is also apparently apparently
00:05:59.060 has fantasized about being turned on by touching his future daughter in one Instagram post.
00:06:04.240 If those things are true, it shows he is really, really sick.
00:06:08.120 But the part about defecation is really important.
00:06:15.780 Years ago, I talked to Rabbi Daniel Lappin, and this was during the Occupy Wall Street
00:06:26.180 times and remember they were defecating and smearing cop cars and everything else with
00:06:32.600 defecation and he said that's actually glennan ancient ritual and i said what and uh it was
00:06:40.740 not of baal the you know evil god that had you sacrifice your children he would promote
00:06:48.020 you know for the planet literally for agriculture so the planet would be happy
00:06:54.480 He would have you have orgies and everything else out in the forest, and then after nine months, you would bring the product of that orgy, the child, and you would sacrifice them on his altar.
00:07:08.060 But one of the other rituals that another, not Baal per se, he was named Peor, and he was a kind of a local deity of Moab, but he was in agriculture.
00:07:22.420 It was about the weather and everything else.
00:07:25.760 They would defecate and smear things ritualistically, okay?
00:07:33.880 I don't get it.
00:07:35.380 But anyway, the point of this is these people are living and fulfilling ancient religious rituals without even knowing it.
00:07:52.420 this, there is an evil that is going on. And I want to talk to you about, there are all of these
00:08:00.040 lines that are coming together. If you've never read the book, Hitler's Monsters, you should.
00:08:06.640 Hitler's Monsters is a, it's a very scholarly book. There's no pictures in this book.
00:08:15.320 And it is really dense because the guy who wrote it, I talked to after I read it, it's a hard read.
00:08:21.660 But it is something you've never read before. And it talks about how Hitler and the Nazis took all of these different rituals from different, you know, witches, witchcraft, you know, ancient tribes and ancient things from the areas.
00:08:44.100 all of this evil, and they brought it all together, and then they combined it with
00:08:49.360 Christianity and Hinduism and everything else, and they just had this big steaming ball of mess
00:08:55.260 at the end. We're doing that. Whether we know it or not, that's what's happening to us right now.
00:09:02.400 We are dismissing the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and we are combining all of these things,
00:09:10.200 and it's going to make a very toxic and evil stew.
00:09:14.100 Now, on top of that, you'll notice he's anti-ice.
00:09:17.400 He is also pro-Palestinian and he's a socialist.
00:09:22.460 Why is this important?
00:09:26.740 Because this is the toxic stew and where it's coming from.
00:09:33.720 Now, I want to show you this hour.
00:09:36.260 I'm going to show you another.
00:09:37.660 I'm going to talk about the Tate brothers.
00:09:39.540 And I'm going to show you, they are preying on the mentally ill.
00:09:45.160 They are taking the disenfranchised.
00:09:47.580 They're taking the people with grievance.
00:09:49.700 They're taking the people that feel like losers who are alone.
00:09:53.500 And there's a lot of people that feel very lonely right now.
00:09:57.320 They don't know how to meet people.
00:09:58.760 They don't know how to, because it's all been dismantled by the same system
00:10:03.080 that is now scooping them up and say, you'll never be alone.
00:10:06.140 You're in a community now.
00:10:07.580 You're in the collective.
00:10:10.880 So let me tell you, before I get to the Tate brothers, what happened yesterday with the State Department.
00:10:18.940 Rubio came out with a report from the State Department that cast the Castro regime not just as a geopolitical adversary,
00:10:27.600 but as an ideological nucleus of what is being described as the modern radical left.
00:10:34.520 Let me just give you a couple of lines.
00:10:37.580 For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and third worldism in the United States.
00:10:47.240 The State Department is exposing the full history of the Cuban espionage and subversion in our country.
00:10:53.140 The American people deserve to know.
00:10:55.220 For nearly seven decades, the Cuban regime has waged sustained campaign of subversion against the United States.
00:11:01.960 It's a campaign that has infiltrated the highest reaches of the U.S. government, recruited and cultivated generations of American activists, backed by an unprecedented wave of left-wing terrorism on American soil, and carried out one of the most durable and damaging foreign intelligence penetrations in American history.
00:11:21.960 According to the report, Havana has developed an unconventional strategy centered on espionage, infiltration, proxy networks, and ideological influence rather than conventional warfare.
00:11:36.660 And it has been very successful.
00:11:40.780 So let me start at the beginning.
00:11:44.380 You know that Che poster?
00:11:46.400 You know where that came from?
00:11:47.400 let me take you back to october of 1967 it's a one-room schoolhouse in a bolivian uh village
00:11:55.840 and che uh had been executed this is where he was executed by a sergeant in the bolivian army
00:12:03.220 his campaign had been a disaster he went into the highlands to light a revolution and the peasants
00:12:10.280 that he came to, say, liberate, turned on him and turned him in.
00:12:16.300 He recruited almost nobody,
00:12:19.100 and his entire column was hunted down in under 11 months.
00:12:23.420 Now, you can measure a revolution by the rifle, and Cuba lost.
00:12:29.620 Bolivia failed.
00:12:30.880 Congo failed.
00:12:31.680 Latin America insurgencies burned through a generation
00:12:35.180 and left graves everywhere.
00:12:36.840 But this is what the State Department was revealing yesterday.
00:12:41.280 There's something else that happened that nobody was talking about.
00:12:45.760 Seven years earlier, a Havana fashion photographer had snapped a frame at a funeral.
00:12:53.700 And Che stepped into view at this funeral for just a couple of seconds.
00:12:58.160 And they only took two exposures.
00:13:00.300 The paper didn't run it.
00:13:02.620 He tacked a print on his wall and completely forgot about it.
00:13:05.980 then an Italian publisher came through Havana and saw the picture and he's like oh wow that's cool
00:13:12.340 and he left with a copy of it okay when Che was killed that October he took that this Italian guy
00:13:19.780 took that picture of Che and ran it and ran it off by the hundreds of thousands the photographer
00:13:26.620 never asked for a dime and the picture became the most reproduced image in the history of the world
00:13:34.060 And out of a conference in Havana that year, actually the year before,
00:13:38.720 the Cubans started printing a magazine that went out to Asia and Africa and Latin America in four different languages.
00:13:45.380 And it had a free poster folded inside of every issue.
00:13:50.120 It was silkscreen art.
00:13:52.800 Mailed across the planet for nothing.
00:13:55.620 And the posters came out of the magazines and it went up on dormitory walls in countries that had never heard a shot fired in anger.
00:14:02.900 The rifle lost, but the picture won.
00:14:07.240 Why am I telling you a story of Che's picture?
00:14:10.300 That we've all seen that picture with him in a little communist beanie.
00:14:16.720 Because when the Soviet money vanished in 1991, Havana just didn't quit.
00:14:22.960 It stopped sending rifles.
00:14:24.800 so here's how i would explain this to somebody who has never thought about anything in cuba for
00:14:33.560 more than five minutes okay
00:14:34.960 if you want an orange tree in a place where oranges don't grow you can plant a seed and
00:14:47.780 wait 15 years and probably fail or you can take a tree that is already there and graft
00:14:55.880 so if you graft onto a tree that is already there that is natively growing
00:15:01.300 and it's already rooted in the soil it already survives the local winters you can cut it and
00:15:11.100 bind your cutting of the orange tree into the wound and you let the native roots feed your fruit
00:15:17.040 stop planting foreign seeds start grafting onto native trunks the trunks are real real grievance
00:15:28.800 real poverty real anger real corruption nobody has to invent any of those the graft is what gets
00:15:36.480 bound into the wound the ideology the training the coordination the money that's what the state
00:15:42.960 department laid out yesterday they said look there's no guerrilla columns anymore there's no
00:15:48.320 political uh or they did say there's political coalitions there's uh academic centers there's
00:15:54.500 solidarity groups friendship societies and the exchange programs one of them has carried something
00:16:02.340 like 10 000 americans to cuba since 1969 now this is not a new charge the united states senate
00:16:09.900 Committee called it one of the most extensive infiltration operations ever run in our country
00:16:14.280 by a foreign power, and that was 50 years ago. 10,000 Americans. One of those Americans is now
00:16:20.840 the mayor of Los Angeles. They came home. They became professors, organizers, directors, staffers,
00:16:28.980 and now they're becoming politicians. So when you ask who's affecting the American population,
00:16:34.320 stop looking for a spy. Spies were real, yes, but they're not the mechanism. The mechanism
00:16:41.240 is the fruit that shows up on an American tree. It speaks with an American accent. It
00:16:48.660 cites American injustice, some of it genuine, but it never presents itself as foreign
00:16:55.560 because it isn't anymore. That's the entire point of the graph. They knew they couldn't come in
00:17:03.460 with something that was foreign and plant it.
00:17:06.960 They had to find people that they could graft into
00:17:11.220 and say, oh, here's some ideas here.
00:17:13.840 It worked perfectly for you in America.
00:17:18.540 The Cold War, half of that report is documented history.
00:17:22.760 The training camps, the Senate findings,
00:17:24.500 the espionage convictions, et cetera, et cetera.
00:17:27.700 They're not sowing seeds in American soil.
00:17:30.100 They never had to.
00:17:31.740 They found the trunks that are already growing here.
00:17:35.060 They cut and they bound and they waited.
00:17:38.320 So now we're sitting here with bitter fruit
00:17:41.220 and it looks like it's American,
00:17:44.080 but it is not American.
00:17:47.420 So don't stand there arguing about the fruit.
00:17:50.020 Check the graph line.
00:17:51.360 And that's exactly what the State Department is doing.
00:17:54.180 They check the graph line.
00:17:55.580 They're like, okay, bad, bitter fruit.
00:17:58.020 But the tree is an American tree.
00:18:00.020 So how is this happening?
00:18:02.300 They're looking for the graph lines, and they're seeing that a lot of it is coming from Cuba, which was influenced at the time from the Soviet Union, but is still going on now with help from Russia, China, and Iran.
00:18:20.660 So much of what you're seeing on the street, this is why they're always called useful idiots.
00:18:26.440 They have no idea that they're being used, that this is not coming from America.
00:18:32.420 This is a foreign entity.
00:18:35.420 This is a foreign solution.
00:18:37.360 And they are using our children and they're using the disaffected to grow that bitter fruit on it.
00:18:46.160 So when I go back now and I look at this guy who set fire to a stone building, again, not real bright.
00:18:56.440 What are his influences?
00:19:00.040 Palestinian, where is that influence coming from?
00:19:03.820 That influence is coming from Iran.
00:19:06.800 He's also talking about socialism and communism.
00:19:12.560 Where is that influence coming from?
00:19:14.660 Not America.
00:19:15.660 That's coming from places like Cuba.
00:19:20.360 This illness, it's a mental illness,
00:19:23.700 but it is being pushed into the system.
00:19:27.460 It's like our kids are lonely.
00:19:31.380 Our kids are confused, intentionally so, I believe.
00:19:36.140 And when they go to the hospital,
00:19:38.600 they're going to somebody for answers.
00:19:41.320 The hospital, they don't know.
00:19:43.380 They think that's a friendly place to go.
00:19:45.920 It's not.
00:19:47.440 It's a foreign center of poison.
00:19:50.280 every time they go to a professor or to you know some group that's like hey you can fit in here
00:19:57.620 we're a big collective it's foreign poison and they have no idea sometimes you look at your
00:20:05.700 bank account and you think i don't i don't have the money to do the things i have to do
00:20:11.180 i really need to do maybe it's a home repair maybe it's paying off high interest credit cards
00:20:15.440 maybe it's just helping a kid through college or finally starting that business you've been
00:20:19.300 dreaming about. Then you look at the value of your home. You realize you've spent years building
00:20:24.820 equity in there. Well, but you have a loan still on it and you do not want to get rid of that low
00:20:30.100 interest loan. So you feel stuck, but you don't have to be. I want you to call American Financing
00:20:35.320 because they may be able to help you. They have salary-based mortgage consultants that'll walk
00:20:39.580 you through whether their smart equity loan will make sense for your situation. It lets qualified
00:20:45.260 homeowners take advantage of all the equity that they have without having to refinance your low
00:20:50.840 interest first mortgage. And unlike a HELOC, it comes with a predictability of a fixed rate and
00:20:56.440 fixed payment. You'll be saving yourself over $800 a month. Most people, that's the average,

00:21:22.900 Now back to the podcast.
00:21:25.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:21:28.820 So the Democratic Socialists of America
00:21:30.880 have released their new platform.
00:21:34.180 And their platform is called Workers Deserve More.
00:21:38.960 Now, you might say, who are the workers?
00:21:43.520 Well, you can ask Mom Donnie because he apparently knows.
00:21:46.080 Well, no, actually, they asked him yesterday, and it stumped him.
00:21:49.460 He couldn't answer who workers were.
00:21:52.260 It also commits to the organization to abolish the United States Senate, replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and a judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.
00:22:08.600 okay that means that you just want to abolish the united states of america they also want to take
00:22:14.400 the largest corporations into public ownership this is communism uh abolishing ice granting
00:22:20.660 amnesty to all immigrants defunding the department of war and eventually writing a new constitution
00:22:27.340 that's interesting uh now their words
00:22:33.480 in their words you know some demands may be achievable under the current system but complete
00:22:41.480 victory i'm quoting requires building a new society from the ground up oh well the good
00:22:48.580 news is we know how that society looks because it looks like the former soviet union or the
00:22:52.680 current chinese government now this has been done before and this is where the left loses
00:23:00.800 They always lose because they combine communism with radicalism and explosions and terrorism.
00:23:11.980 And it's now all starting to feel an awful lot like 1968, 1969.
00:23:18.040 I want to play a little clip here from the Beatles.
00:23:22.840 The Beatles were asked to join this revolution.
00:23:26.640 And John and Paul said, well, we'll think about it.
00:23:29.640 We're going to the Himalayas right now.
00:23:31.160 They went to the Himalayas, and they gave the answer to the left with the song Revolution.
00:23:37.040 I want to just play just a couple of seconds of this.
00:23:39.940 Listen to this part of Revolution by the Beatles.
00:23:43.200 They say you change the Constitution.
00:23:47.000 Well, you know.
00:23:50.200 We all want to change your head.
00:23:55.460 You tell me it's the institution.
00:23:59.640 Well, you know, you better free your mind instead.
00:24:09.100 But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
00:24:17.920 Okay, so in this song, they talk about you want money, but you want to give that money to people who hate.
00:24:24.660 Count us out.
00:24:25.800 You want a revolution?
00:24:27.460 Well, we'd like to see your plan.
00:24:29.640 oh, your plan is to change the Constitution?
00:24:33.600 Well, we would like to see, what was it?
00:24:36.420 We'd like to change your head.
00:24:38.320 You tell me it's the institution.
00:24:40.080 That's what they're saying now.
00:24:40.940 It's the institution itself.
00:24:42.620 Well, you better free your mind instead.
00:24:44.420 And if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
00:24:47.200 you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
00:24:49.480 Now they have a chance with Chairman Mao
00:24:51.960 because no one knows who Chairman Mao really was.
00:24:54.720 They did back then, but they don't now.
00:24:57.360 He was responsible for killing tens of millions.
00:25:01.020 The number might be as high as 90 million people.
00:25:05.820 I can guarantee you, every scholar agrees, that it was at least 30 million.
00:25:11.100 It might be as high as 90 million.
00:25:13.940 He was a Cold Stone killer, but he had new ideas.
00:25:19.200 And these ideas were going to work no matter who in his population had to die.
00:25:23.860 now let me play something else this is from hassan piker this is piker uh first let me play
00:25:33.400 the one from today sarah this is uh hassan piker praising chairman mal listen to this
00:25:40.320 oh the security checkpoints i live streamed the entire process i got stopped by a cop who thought
00:25:45.200 i was like making fun of of mal zedong which i never would and never will mal zedong is a is a
00:25:52.520 one of the great leaders of of this world okay a man who changed the entire universe
00:26:00.580 the entire planet the entire universe wow okay stop now here he is from clip uh from yesterday
00:26:09.340 here he is dressed as chairman mao no more to trumpism but no more to the democrats who
00:26:18.100 compromise who conciliate and who betray us no more to the fascist reactionaries but no more
00:26:32.560 to the democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists who will fund ice
00:26:37.220 who will fund israel this is exactly exactly the way it has happened every single time now the
00:26:44.860 beetles figured it out the beetles were like yeah we thought about it for a second but you're
00:26:51.660 blowing things up you're teaching people to hate you're you're praising chairman mao and you say
00:26:57.900 you want to you want to change the constitution no now they have 104 000 members 90 endorsed
00:27:07.500 candidates this cycle more than a dozen people running for congress the mayor of new york city
00:27:13.700 is one of them. And here's what almost nobody that has covered the story about their platform
00:27:21.340 and getting rid of the Senate has mentioned, and they don't even know, I can guarantee you.
00:27:27.540 America's already tried it, and not in theory. In Pennsylvania, in 1776, when the ink was drying
00:27:38.740 on the Declaration of Independence,
00:27:40.860 Pennsylvania's radicals wrote the most, quote,
00:27:44.280 democratic constitution in the Western world.
00:27:47.260 They said, we're going to have one chamber,
00:27:50.040 no Senate, no governor,
00:27:52.360 just an executive council of 12
00:27:54.900 chosen by and answerable to the assembly.
00:27:59.540 Judges could be removed,
00:28:01.520 annual elections, term limits, open galleries,
00:28:04.120 every bill printed before the people, before a vote.
00:28:07.160 the guy who presided over this uh convention and the guy who wrote it this might shock you
00:28:14.640 was benjamin franklin this was the cutting edge of human liberty at the time we're going to do
00:28:24.060 exactly what the democratic socialists say they want to do now here's what happened it produced
00:28:30.800 a government that disenfranchised roughly 40 percent of the adult population in pennsylvania
00:28:35.960 They started to require loyalty oaths.
00:28:39.140 They seized property by legislative vote.
00:28:42.100 They set price controls.
00:28:44.500 On October 4th, 1779, an armed militia marched through the streets of Philadelphia to the house of James Wilson.
00:28:52.160 He was one of the signers of the declaration.
00:28:55.360 Because Wilson had defended men the assembly wanted punished.
00:29:00.080 You're not standing against the assembly.
00:29:02.180 Wilson and about 30 others barricaded themselves inside, and they fired down the street, and the street fired back, and six men died, and that was at the corner of Third and Walnut, in the capital of the American Revolution, killed in a dispute between a legislature and the people it claimed to be.
00:29:23.360 See, that's the deal.
00:29:25.060 You claim it's for the people, it's the peoples, or it's the workers, and it never is in the end.
00:29:31.620 Four years later, Pennsylvania's own Council of Censors published its review of what had gone wrong.
00:29:39.000 The assembly, they found, had assumed the powers that belonged to the executive and to the courts,
00:29:44.160 and over and over, the ordinary course of business, they violated those things, and no one could stop it.
00:29:50.780 James Madison read the report. He quoted it in Federalist 48 alongside Jefferson's lying about Virginia's own assembly.
00:29:59.340 One hundred and seventy three despots will be as oppressive as one.
00:30:04.580 And an elective despotism was not the government we fought for.
00:30:10.420 Ricky, where is it? Is it Columbia? It's not Columbia.
00:30:13.560 Where is it the despot is now in South America that is Nicaragua, not running for re-election, just canceled the elections, okay?
00:30:26.520 It's easy to vote people in.
00:30:28.440 It's really hard to vote them out, okay?
00:30:32.100 This is where the Senate really came from.
00:30:35.620 The Senate is written or was written until the progressives changed it to protect the states.
00:30:41.400 And it didn't come from a love of love of Wyoming or, you know, Virginia.
00:30:45.500 It came from Philadelphia, from bodies in the street, from the discovery that a single assembly answering only to itself is not the purest form of democracy.
00:30:56.380 It's the shortest road out of democracy.
00:31:00.880 Pennsylvania abolished its own constitution in 1790, 14 years after they adopted it and they put a Senate in.
00:31:11.400 Now, the Senate, and this is the part that you need to hear,
00:31:16.240 the Senate is malproportioned, and Madison knew it.
00:31:20.280 He wanted equal state suffrage at the convention
00:31:23.240 and defended it in Federalist 62 as a compromise of necessity,
00:31:28.040 not a principle, a price.
00:31:30.360 Wyoming and California each get two senators at a ratio of 68 to 1.
00:31:36.060 the house has been frozen at 435 since 1929 that was an act of congress that is not the
00:31:43.960 constitution that was an act of congress expanding it will just take a simple law
00:31:49.320 of everything on the dsa list the one that might be defensible and conservatives might be the one
00:31:57.060 that should propose this maybe because a house closer to the people is a house harder for money
00:32:03.300 to buy and it was in 1929 that this changed um maybe we should maybe we should allow the house
00:32:13.500 to grow again public ownership that's another thing in their platform that's not alien to us
00:32:20.740 either tennessee valley authority the bank of north dakota the alaska permanent fund
00:32:27.260 Norway's oil fund, which made every Norwegian a millionaire on paper.
00:32:32.560 However, Sweden actually tried the ownership plank.
00:32:36.340 In 1976, the trade unions proposed the Minder Plan.
00:32:42.380 Buy Swedish industry gradually and share by share, put it into worker-controlled funds.
00:32:48.680 It passed in 1983.
00:32:51.900 Sweden repealed it in 1991 because they learned that capital doesn't wait around for an act of Congress or the reading of a bill.
00:33:03.420 The rich people and the people that were actually building industries, they got out.
00:33:07.880 Just like Britain, they nationalized coal.
00:33:10.700 They nationalized the rail lines, steel, power in 1945.
00:33:15.960 And they were standing in front of the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, with their hat in their hand by 1976.
00:33:21.720 India nationalized the banks in 1969, spent a generation growing at three and a half percent.
00:33:28.260 Venezuela rewrote their constitution.
00:33:31.320 They took their companies.
00:33:32.860 They took them.
00:33:34.080 They capped prices.
00:33:35.120 They lost three quarters of its economy and nearly eight million of its own people in Venezuela.
00:33:41.020 And one place the abolition argument was put directly to the voters, Minneapolis 2021, the city where it started, lost 56 to 44.
00:33:53.380 But the plank that tells you everything is the Senate, because Article 5 of our Constitution, written after the experiment of Philadelphia, says no state without its consent shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
00:34:14.820 That's the only sentence in the entire document that the amendment process refuses to reach.
00:34:22.120 Can't. Can't do anything.
00:34:24.480 The framers protected the one thing from the future, and this is it.
00:34:30.900 They knew people would try it because it had been tried before, and they saw the disaster that it was.
00:34:36.160 Which means abolishing the Senate requires the unanimous agreement of all 50 states, including 25 smallest, voting to make themselves irrelevant.
00:34:49.640 They know that.
00:34:51.160 They know that.
00:34:52.120 That's why the program says we need a new constitution.
00:34:56.480 Because this constitution will not allow them to do it.
00:35:00.900 And that's the thing that socialists and communists know.
00:35:04.340 When the only lawful road is closed, you're no longer talking about amending a republic.
00:35:10.620 You're talking about replacing it.
00:35:13.200 The founders were not protecting the powerful when they built brakes.
00:35:16.520 They were protecting the farmer in a minority from the majority that was certain of itself.
00:35:21.940 Every safeguard on this list exists for the same reason.
00:35:25.340 Because 104,000 people who are sure that they are exactly right are as dangerous as one king who is sure he's right.
00:35:34.340 and considerably harder to argue with.
00:35:38.080 Pennsylvania found this out at Third and Walnut.
00:35:40.720 Cost them six men and 14 years.
00:35:43.500 We wrote it down so we wouldn't have to learn it again.
00:35:47.820 They are taking us in a very dangerous path.
00:35:51.540 Do not dismiss the Democratic Socialists.
00:35:56.260 They are radicals that want to destroy our Constitution,
00:36:01.480 the United States of America, and our way of life.
00:36:04.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:09.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:11.700 I was just talking to Jason because he was doing the Torch Insider broadcast,
00:36:19.420 and he read a note from one of the insiders who was talking about today's show.
00:36:25.080 Could you just share that, Jason?
00:36:28.440 Yes.
00:36:29.540 Subscriber, Hair on Fire, she said that today's show is making me feel helpless.
00:36:33.380 what can I do as an average, everyday American?
00:36:38.480 So why do you think she said that?
00:36:40.780 I think there's a-
00:36:41.640 What about today's show?
00:36:43.620 I think it's an onslaught of heavy news, I believe,
00:36:47.020 with the Cuban report,
00:36:48.520 how they're influencing radicals in the United States,
00:36:51.040 DSA growing in numbers,
00:36:53.480 those kinds of topics and stories, I think.
00:36:58.000 So I have to tell you,
00:36:59.460 when radicals win the streets,
00:37:06.160 they lose the country
00:37:07.740 because we are not a radical nation.
00:37:12.980 We're not.
00:37:14.020 Even though we were born as radicals,
00:37:17.140 we are not.
00:37:18.540 And if you remember what happened with SDS,
00:37:21.580 the student-led socialist Marxist group,
00:37:28.240 what did they do?
00:37:29.460 In 1969, they went to the Democratic Convention in Chicago at the Coliseum.
00:37:39.040 And the Students for Democratic Society had 100,000 members and hundreds of chapters on campuses all over.
00:37:48.720 And that's about where the DSA is at today.
00:37:56.120 I think they were, what did they say, 110,000 people?
00:38:02.760 So now SDS, back in 69, is the size of the DSA today.
00:38:11.300 And it's the same group of people.
00:38:15.020 And they gave birth to the Weather Underground, the Weathermen,
00:38:20.480 all of these really, really radical people.
00:38:24.020 and they showed up and they were violent on the street.
00:38:28.680 Remember, it was just a few months before that,
00:38:30.680 that in Greenwich Village, they were assembling a nail bomb
00:38:34.200 and it went off and it killed a bunch of them, okay?
00:38:39.200 They had all of these anti-war protests on the streets
00:38:44.300 and there was just real problems,
00:38:50.180 real problems of violence everywhere.
00:38:52.240 And people were starting to get sick of it because it became obvious to the American people that this was not about the war.
00:39:03.060 This was not about Nixon or Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson.
00:39:09.460 This was about communism.
00:39:12.180 This was about flushing the entire system, and they would take it.
00:39:16.800 They saw the violence on the streets, and people realized these people are not like us.
00:39:23.260 They are not like us.
00:39:26.840 I have hope, because this was the last time this played out in America.
00:39:32.460 This was their last phase.
00:39:35.600 This has grown exactly the same way it grew last time.
00:39:39.700 Now, it's stronger this time, or was stronger this time,
00:39:43.620 because it has the corporations and it has a lot of people on the inside of the government,
00:39:49.140 but they are slowly revealing themselves and those who are in the inside of the government
00:39:54.440 who are on the left, you have people now like Bill Maher and Van Jones,
00:40:03.140 who I would have always categorized not as Democrats, but on the left.
00:40:08.540 They are now coming out and saying, this has got to stop.
00:40:11.420 They're seeing the poison themselves, and they're pointing it out.
00:40:14.980 And the more people that you get like that, that point it out to Democrats, the faster this thing is going to fall apart.
00:40:22.760 It's not going to solve all of our problems.
00:40:24.480 You're going to still have problems with people who disagree with you on the direction of the country and Donald Trump and everything else.
00:40:30.700 But you're not going to be dealing with the socialist radicals, the communists, who are now saying that they want to change the government.
00:40:42.620 They want to change the Constitution and get rid of the presidency and the judicial process, all of this stuff.
00:40:51.000 That is not what Americans want.
00:40:53.760 So I have to tell you, I find great hope because I think we're in the last stage.
00:41:00.700 Now, it could go the other way. Believe me, it could go the other way. Let's see how these elections turn out. But it could go the other way. If they gain power and they continue to put people on the inside of this government, we're in trouble. We're in deep trouble.
00:41:17.400 But I still think that there's a greater chance of us succeeding, by far, than failing.
00:41:26.920 And that comes from my faith in God.
00:41:31.380 I've seen too many miracles, too many things that have happened that you're like, well, that should have happened that way.
00:41:38.580 Donald Trump being shot.
00:41:40.640 The election of 2020.
00:41:42.480 It actually made us stronger.
00:41:43.920 While making us weaker, it woke us up and made us stronger.
00:41:48.240 COVID did the same thing, made us really, really weak, put real problems,
00:41:53.220 but it woke a lot of people up and they were like, wait a minute, I don't want any of this.
00:41:57.540 So everything that seems to be bad, remember, God will use everything for his will.
00:42:06.980 So even the bad stuff is going to be used for good purposes.
00:42:11.740 We just have to not panic.
00:42:13.720 We have to have faith and we have to do our part.
00:42:17.400 You know, the secret on this is the news is about our collective problem.
00:42:28.900 The news is about our country.
00:42:33.000 And so when we hear these things, we think this is such a big problem.
00:42:38.460 I can't do anything about it.
00:42:40.300 And that's where you start to lose faith.
00:42:42.500 I can't do anything about this.
00:42:45.020 you can actually but not in the way that everybody thinks everybody thinks is let me ask you this
00:42:52.600 who's the most powerful man on earth today in ways i've never even thought of as president
00:42:58.300 of the united states who's the most powerful man on earth donald trump do you think donald
00:43:03.900 trump's gonna be able to solve this i don't i don't if donald trump the most powerful man on
00:43:11.300 earth can't solve this, then it's not that it can't be solved. It's that it cannot be solved
00:43:19.020 by one man, nor should it be. See, the left will tell you, yes, one man can solve all the problems.
00:43:29.300 We'll show you. Mom, Donnie is saying this. We'll show you that the answer is government.
00:43:33.440 Whatever the problem, government can solve it. I don't believe that. You don't believe that.
00:43:38.420 The collective cannot solve problems, especially with one man at the head of it.
00:43:44.500 It has to come from individuals solving their own problems in their own homes,
00:43:49.800 in their own lives, and in their own communities and their own states,
00:43:53.200 long before it gets to the country.
00:43:56.620 And so when you feel discouraged, you feel like,
00:44:01.320 if I only had the voice of an angel, I would shake the earth to its core.
00:44:07.540 Well, you're not an angel.
00:44:08.620 You don't have that voice.
00:44:10.160 You weren't given that voice.
00:44:11.180 Nobody was given that voice.
00:44:13.060 And if God wanted somebody to have that voice,
00:44:14.900 he would have given it to somebody.
00:44:16.300 But they didn't.
00:44:17.240 He didn't.
00:44:18.440 They don't have it.
00:44:21.760 So stop looking for things that you're not supposed to have.
00:44:27.040 You're supposed to have the voice you have.
00:44:29.840 Now, how can you use that in your own life, with your own family, in your area of influence?
00:44:39.900 That's what matters.
00:44:42.460 And I have to tell you, we're not any different, you and I.
00:44:49.580 I can't tell you how many years I prayed for,
00:44:58.760 Lord, I just need more of this.
00:45:02.640 I need more information.
00:45:03.980 I need more understanding.
00:45:05.460 I need more talent to be able to explain this.
00:45:11.080 I need more people around me so I can, no, no.
00:45:16.440 forgive me for my sin Lord
00:45:19.600 I don't
00:45:21.380 otherwise he would have given it to me
00:45:23.780 I need exactly what I have
00:45:26.980 except
00:45:29.300 I need one thing that I didn't have
00:45:31.860 for a long time
00:45:32.760 I want to say this
00:45:39.740 carefully so you understand
00:45:41.400 humility
00:45:42.220 what we all need is humility
00:45:45.700 the lord's not asking any of us to play the savior he's not asking any of us to be the guy
00:45:56.760 he's not he's asking you to be exactly who you are he's asking you to use the tools that you
00:46:07.580 currently have i guarantee you everything that you need you have and you might be sitting here
00:46:15.000 saying, well, I want to start my own business, but I don't have, but you have everything in you.
00:46:19.240 Now you just have to figure out the path. And that's the hard part because a lot of that comes
00:46:25.200 with patience. A lot of that comes from just doing the right thing over and over and over again
00:46:31.840 for a long time. I tell my son and my daughter all the time, you don't know who's watching you.
00:46:40.400 You have no idea who's going to cross your path.
00:46:44.100 You're going to work and work and work,
00:46:45.900 and you're going to think you have the,
00:46:47.700 you know, I know exactly how it has to be,
00:46:49.340 and I have to do this, and I have to do that,
00:46:51.580 and then when I do that, then I have to find this person,
00:46:54.900 and that person is going to, no, no, you don't.
00:46:57.820 You just have to do what you're supposed to do
00:47:01.120 and do it so well that somebody is going to see it.
00:47:06.400 Somebody's going to recognize.
00:47:07.580 Somebody's going to walk by your path and go,
00:47:09.340 oh my gosh, you're amazing. Can I help you? Because I have this tool over here. And I think
00:47:16.700 if we put your chocolate with my peanut butter, we're going to make some amazing things happen.
00:47:23.860 So don't be discouraged. There's really, honestly, I know, I know, I know what it's like to feel
00:47:30.920 helpless on these subjects i know it but i say this because i've lived it and i still fight it
00:47:39.440 every day i come home some days and my wife will say how was the show today and i'll just
00:47:44.240 i mean i'll just shake my hand another show of saying the same stuff and not making any difference
00:47:50.060 um and that's wrong that's wrong but that if you recognize that that's wrong in my life
00:48:00.000 it's wrong in your life too
00:48:02.580 it's wrong
00:48:04.820 I know this sounds so stupid
00:48:15.580 it sounds so stupid
00:48:17.420 it doesn't sound stupid
00:48:19.000 it sounds like
00:48:19.720 I know, I know, I know
00:48:23.060 but I'm looking to make a real difference
00:48:24.680 the biggest difference you will make
00:48:30.940 will be done within the four walls of your home
00:48:36.000 the biggest difference that you can make
00:48:39.320 will be with your children
00:48:40.800 teaching them
00:48:42.980 guiding them
00:48:45.220 raising them
00:48:46.820 doing all the things that you know
00:48:50.420 I can't tell you how many regrets I have
00:48:53.040 I'm like a regret machine
00:48:55.700 I hate it
00:48:57.900 One of my worst qualities
00:49:00.480 Is I beat myself up all the time
00:49:02.860 For things that I missed
00:49:03.940 I should have done, I didn't do
00:49:05.440 It's usually not things I did
00:49:07.660 It's things I failed to do
00:49:09.460 And
00:49:11.220 Watching my kids now
00:49:14.120 At their age, I'm like
00:49:15.240 I should have done more
00:49:16.600 And my wife and I just have to remind each other every day
00:49:19.860 We did the best we could at the time
00:49:21.920 and she'll point out well no we didn't there were times that no honey but yes you're right on that
00:49:29.260 but there were times that we were both so beaten and so tired that that was the best we could do
00:49:35.280 again i'm preaching to the choir so don't beat yourself up just do the best you can do today
00:49:44.240 and know that if you're doing that,
00:49:49.560 the Lord multiplies
00:49:50.960 and everything works out.
00:49:53.320 The answer is not one person.
00:49:55.220 It's not one movement.
00:49:57.060 It is one person doing the right thing
00:50:00.420 in the smallest of ways.
00:50:02.780 And when a whole buttload of us do that,
00:50:05.240 the whole world changes.
00:50:06.600 The whole world changes.
00:50:08.120 If the president of the United States
00:50:10.240 is not the guy to fix this,
00:50:12.080 then you know the answer.
00:50:13.500 And honestly, again, the Lord only picked one Savior.
00:50:19.680 God picked one Savior.
00:50:22.460 We have him.
00:50:24.560 Stop looking for saviors on the horizon.
00:50:27.840 You are the one in your own life.
00:50:30.480 You're the one in, politically speaking, and fixing our nation.
00:50:35.340 You're the one that will make all the difference.
