00:00:00.600 To the person in a long-term relationship with chicken and rice,
00:00:04.300 hi, your Safeway PA announcer here.
00:00:06.860 It might be time to see other dishes.
00:00:08.920 Spice up your routine with our new Chili Crisp creations,
00:00:11.820 including flatbreads, crispy chicken strips, wraps, and more.
00:00:15.220 Crispy meets spicy at your local Safeway.
00:00:17.960 Limited time only. Selection may vary by store.
00:00:22.100 Man, today's podcast, I wish you would listen to the whole show
00:00:29.220 because the whole show was just amazing.
00:00:30.700 We started with a lesbian bar in Massachusetts,
00:00:33.220 and you would swear that this was, we made it up.
00:00:37.040 I mean, not a word of it.
00:00:39.280 It comes from the Boston Globe.
00:00:40.800 We had to read it verbatim because it's so crazy,
00:00:43.420 but it shows you what your life is going to be like
00:00:46.740 if we go back to the Marxist left.
00:00:50.080 Also, your body has meaning,
00:00:52.820 and I tie four stories together in this,
00:00:55.820 and it is so important because, as you find out,
00:00:59.140 Later in the show, there's a new pullout by the progressives on progressive Democrats and the way they look at death and life and our Constitution.
00:01:13.440 You want a reason to vote?
00:01:14.940 That would be it.
00:01:16.360 All on today's podcast.
00:01:17.780 by the way i don't know if you heard about the surrogate uh mother we're going to talk about
00:01:38.260 that next hour i've got a lot of stuff next hour um that is is again another sign of the times but
00:01:45.400 we'll get into that next hour right now i got it i'm just gonna give you the headline here
00:01:51.500 it's just a little just a little tease of what is to come but believe me this is an eight course
00:01:58.100 meal massachusetts lesbian bar nearly bullied out of town after lifting mask mandate for one night
00:02:09.880 according to the boston globe trouble is a bruin at this watering hole a massachusetts lesbian bar
00:02:21.160 by the way i want you to know i didn't add anything to this story none of these words are
00:02:26.460 mine a massachusetts lesbian bar descended into a catty culture war and faces a potentially
00:02:33.900 business-ending boycott from sudden enemies who flipped out when the owners lifted a long-standing
00:02:41.680 mask mandate for one night a week. Quote, it is with love we inform our immunocompromised
00:02:50.100 disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional. Last Ditch merrily wrote in an
00:02:58.400 august instagram posts that blew its world apart some critics dramatically likened the decision
00:03:04.560 to a mass disabling event or a eugenicist attack and a host of other hot button terms that escalated
00:03:13.880 into threats of violence quote i hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow
00:03:20.360 immunocompromised people of their saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ableists
00:03:27.820 people like here's another one people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own
00:03:37.480 leisure and convenience and a third said just say you're being complicit in mass disabling events
00:03:44.440 and get it over with i don't even know what a mass disabling event is but i'm pretty sure saying
00:03:51.780 you know you got to take the mask off where you know what you can leave the mask on six nights a
00:03:56.640 week. One night a week, we're going to say, hey, if you're not a freak that is still freaking out
00:04:01.320 about COVID, come on in. The water's fine. And by the way, you're still invited to wear your mask.
00:04:09.500 You're just going to be around people who are not wearing theirs. Now, I know that might
00:04:13.460 cause some problems because how does anyone that's immunocompromised drink with a mask on?
00:04:22.700 i guess the germs can't get in when you just lift your mask up so you can put the glass to your face
00:04:30.080 and then you don't breathe don't breathe you gotta take a swig of the switch
00:04:34.480 mask back on it's ridiculous
00:04:40.280 uh this is all because masks were made optional just once a week last ditch which is the name
00:04:48.340 of the bar, opened in 2025, it still requires masks on all other days, even as Greenfield,
00:04:55.680 the town that it's from, hasn't reported a COVID case in months. Now I'd like to know the
00:05:02.700 definition of months. Is that five months, six months, or 42 months? Last Ditch, which opened
00:05:12.840 in 2025 still requires masks all other days even as greenfield hasn't reported the covid
00:05:19.000 case in months the business soon found its divy bar room bare on what used to be busy nights as
00:05:27.340 irate customers banded together to boycott sales had already been slumping due to the
00:05:33.640 bar's floundering business model that includes rules like nobody
00:05:37.540 nobody will be barred from entry due to lack of funds the poor and unhoused people are welcome
00:05:48.580 in this space now i don't know how that's not working out for you as a business model i don't
00:05:54.180 i don't know the mask mandate was another rule as last ditch vowed ableism infringements on
00:06:00.980 disabled patrons enjoying the venue was strictly barred that meant the face coverings were required
00:06:08.660 to protect anyone who was immunocompromised it remains unclear how anyone was expected to drink
00:06:14.860 while mask this is crazy the bars no no you haven't heard anything yet ready for this you
00:06:24.640 ready for this paragraph the bar's three owners one a drag performer that uses it and its as their
00:06:34.160 pronouns another now another now in clown school began to slip behind on their bills and couldn't
00:06:47.340 pay themselves or their staff so the trio decided to lift the mask mandate on saturdays to try to
00:06:55.980 boost revenue and keep the lights on it is with love that we inform our immunocompromised disabled
00:07:02.060 divas we will be open saturday nights at first they tried to apologize for the supposedly
00:07:08.660 flippant post i don't know how this was flippant at all okay supposedly flippant post writing we
00:07:14.860 are sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting
00:07:21.140 the most intersectional of us. That only if a fan of the flames because last just post failed to
00:07:29.100 include alt text. Now I didn't, I don't, I don't know what alt text is. You know what alt text is?
00:07:36.120 I have no idea what alt text is. So when they sent the apology out, apparently things got worse
00:07:42.200 because it wasn't in alt text.
00:07:44.580 What is alt text?
00:07:46.420 Alt text describes the written message
00:07:51.080 for the visually impaired.
00:07:54.380 So now, because they didn't apologize,
00:07:58.140 they've now offended all of the blind lesbians
00:08:01.080 that want to wear masks
00:08:02.860 because they're immunocompromised.
00:08:08.160 By the...
00:08:09.400 Let's see.
00:08:12.200 One person commented, this is not an accessible post.
00:08:16.420 It indicates the lack or care or interest in disability intersectionality.
00:08:22.180 But by the time of the meeting in September 11th, only one of the original founders, Mattelian, still was involved.
00:08:30.060 Two others had stepped back.
00:08:31.320 Well, he's busy with clown school.
00:08:33.080 You know what I mean?
00:08:34.000 Citing various pressures and health issues.
00:08:38.820 and it actually points out and one had enrolled in clown school there are some 10 people now
00:08:45.420 seated in a circle on the dance floor at this september 11th meeting trying to calm things down
00:08:51.420 10 people all wearing masks the owner battalion and a handful of volunteers some bar patrons
00:08:59.640 and two designated meteors who would facilitate the conversations between the parties who disagree
00:09:05.600 another 10 or 15 people join the meeting via zoom the plan is to go clockwise we are talking
00:09:14.060 20 people 20 people now i don't blow off a single customer i don't like blowing off a single car
00:09:22.000 but there are times you have to say this is not your place sorry this is not your place but you
00:09:27.680 can't do that anymore because they all have a mob and so they will make it their mission in life
00:09:34.920 to destroy you so the mediators are in place to facilitate the plan is to go clockwise sharing
00:09:42.380 views on the masking decision and the financial future of the bar each person has two minutes
00:09:47.660 to speak it begins with a calming breath exercise oh god i mean i i i honestly i i would be
00:09:54.920 please where's the closest bridge i could jump off of almost immediately the proceedings are
00:10:01.920 derailed. One of Last Ditch's most vocal critics, the head of another queer COVID conscience
00:10:10.080 collective in Western Massachusetts, a performer and artist who goes by So Noir, has been posting
00:10:17.960 complaints about Last Ditch for days. Now, Noir joins the meeting on Zoom. He and other critics
00:10:24.220 begin to flood Zoom chat with irate messages, which are dutifully read aloud to the group.
00:10:29.220 When it comes time for one of the mediators, a licensed therapist, they put a two licensed therapist in this meeting to calm their customers down.
00:10:40.880 She takes a conciliatory tone.
00:10:43.560 I love that all of you are here online, but these social media platforms alienate us from one another.
00:10:50.480 She asked whether participants can try to remove themselves from places of righteousness.
00:10:56.800 I'd love to get to a place to where we all know each other's face.
00:10:59.940 Well, that's not going to happen because you're wearing masks.
00:11:03.240 I'd love to get to a place where we can all know each other's face,
00:11:05.880 where we can know each other's name, she continued.
00:11:09.960 It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually,
00:11:14.760 one responds.
00:11:16.860 That's not accessibility.
00:11:18.380 A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgement of harm,
00:11:23.040 And I'm hearing a white therapist centering on the feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff.
00:11:31.360 Oh, my God.
00:11:32.560 I couldn't do it.
00:11:34.740 I couldn't do it.
00:11:36.400 Let me get it.
00:11:38.020 Let's play this out.
00:11:39.540 If this is the way that everything is going to be run and they would have it all run like this, this is chaos.
00:11:48.040 Nothing gets done.
00:11:49.700 There's no businesses that could survive this.
00:11:52.080 That means the supermarkets.
00:11:54.200 You imagine this happening in a supermarket where they all have to, the supermarket will close.
00:12:00.020 This is how Marxist and crazy people destroy countries and starve people to death because of this nonsense.
00:12:08.420 Just don't go to this club.
00:12:11.300 That's all you have to do.
00:12:12.840 This town is like lesbian heaven.
00:12:17.480 It's all rainbow flags and gay bars.
00:12:20.380 and all of them are masked
00:12:22.900 because apparently everybody up there
00:12:25.220 doesn't know COVID is not a part of our life
00:12:28.600 to be afraid of anymore.
00:12:31.520 It's been over for a long time,
00:12:33.680 but they were so freaked out
00:12:35.480 and it became that mask is nothing more
00:12:38.600 than a symbol of where you stand politically.
00:12:41.240 That's it.
00:12:42.460 That's all it is.
00:12:43.940 It's not saving you.
00:12:46.020 And you can go to another bar down the street,
00:12:48.800 but they won't.
00:12:50.380 They won't.
00:12:51.240 They want to destroy this bar.
00:12:54.520 Zoom attendees speculate the mediator's license status makes her a mandated reporter
00:13:00.580 and an agent of the state, akin to the police.
00:13:07.360 One person going by Moss asked if the mediator could have them hospitalized against their will,
00:13:14.260 adding that her presence is wildly unsafe.
00:13:20.620 Things have not improved for last stitch since that meeting.
00:13:27.400 The only person left around midnight on a recent Saturday suggested trying a Lady Gaga themed party.
00:13:34.700 It might bring some people in.
00:13:36.660 The bartender responded, no, Gaga's canceled.
00:13:41.320 She's a Zionist.
00:13:42.380 you deserve everything you get the dj this is the best line listen to this the dj still playing edm
00:13:57.220 and mattel and the owner is alone on the checkered dance floor making pensive graceful loops on the
00:14:05.160 stripper pole with the kn95 mask in place i guess it's one place where they don't say take it off
00:14:13.520 take it all off you take everything else off not your mask it's insane more in a minute first let
00:14:19.840 me tell you by the way i have some good news if you are somebody who thinks that this country is
00:14:24.480 abusive because we've heard it you're trans the government wants you dead it's nothing there's a
00:14:31.000 genocide going on in america well the results are out the study has now been done i'm going to give
00:14:36.580 it to you here in just a second this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:14:43.580 high prices are here to stay gas groceries insurance and if you're a homeowner you've
00:14:52.620 probably thought should i call american financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt
00:14:56.800 And then you second-guess yourself because of your current low mortgage rate.
00:15:00.560 Listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more.
00:15:05.800 That's the math nobody wants to face.
00:15:07.920 But it's costing you thousands, and here's the truth.
00:15:10.420 If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years.
00:15:14.540 That's why people are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month
00:15:19.420 by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt.
00:15:23.260 You owe it to your family to see what's possible.
00:15:25.700 No upfront fees, no pressure, and it costs you nothing to find out if you could save something big every month.
00:15:30.900 And if you start today, you may be able to delay up to two mortgage payments.
00:15:34.460 So call American Financing, 800-906-2440.
00:15:37.900 That's 800-906-2440 or visit AmericanFinancing.net.

00:15:55.700 this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:16:01.540 all right so there's a couple of stories i want to talk to you about nicole hannah jones
00:16:10.460 sacrifices her kid for race communism that's from the federalist there's another one in our show
00:16:18.220 prep today that comes from the texas tribune u.s supreme court rules against surrogate in dallas
00:16:24.740 custody case. There's a third story. A grandmother in Canada, against the family's wishes, was
00:16:38.080 told to take maid. And she did. And Canada has killed yet another person. Her granddaughter
00:16:45.280 is going to be on with us here in just a few minutes. It's an incredible story. But let
00:16:50.400 me start with Nicole Hannah-Jones. And let me start here. Your life has meaning. And
00:17:03.900 your life is not just in service of ideology. And this, I think, is what Nicole Hannah-Jones
00:17:13.220 and others like her, she found out and the others will find out the hard way.
00:17:20.400 if you don't remember who nicole hannah jones is she was the mastermind of the 1619 project where
00:17:27.520 she reimagined history you know what if well but what if it didn't happen that way she tried to
00:17:34.420 cash in on dei saying that everything was racist especially america and we had to dismantle all of
00:17:40.960 the racist systems meaning america and when it came to her own daughter she put her own daughter
00:17:47.280 in the worst schools in the name of racial justice, okay?
00:17:52.400 She said that white kids and rich kids went to the same school
00:17:55.920 because it's much better.
00:17:57.340 And that left behind other kids at the bad school.
00:18:01.280 So even though she could afford to send her child to the best school,
00:18:06.580 she didn't.
00:18:08.540 And everybody on the left praised her for that.
00:18:11.280 Oh, keeping your child in the school, that is so good.
00:18:15.200 So what's the reward?
00:18:17.280 What's the exchange?
00:18:19.800 She ended up doing massive damage to her daughter.
00:18:23.420 And her daughter is older now.
00:18:25.080 And she has missed major years of education.
00:18:28.200 She's so far behind in math now.
00:18:30.220 And that's her favorite subject.
00:18:31.780 She can barely catch up even with a tutor.
00:18:36.520 And her mother just came out recently and was like, yeah, this is my fault.
00:18:40.380 I'm really, really sorry.
00:18:41.860 Well, mom, you put your ideology ahead of me.
00:18:47.280 you were making all of this money
00:18:50.660 and you were so against privilege
00:18:53.580 that you wouldn't use that money
00:18:55.340 from supposedly your hard work
00:18:57.700 to put me in a better school.
00:18:59.600 You left me behind to make a point.
00:19:03.500 You'll fight for all the kids,
00:19:05.160 but you won't fight for me, mom?
00:19:07.500 What about me?
00:19:08.500 I'm right here.
00:19:10.340 This is a terrible story.
00:19:11.940 It's devastating.
00:19:12.700 are there any parents that are feeling this way besides her i think how many i don't know
00:19:21.340 how many knowingly or unknowingly sacrifice their kids for the god of their ideology
00:19:26.920 because that's what parents of trans kids did you know unless they were just so spooked by all of
00:19:33.660 the everybody in academia and doctors and everybody else going you're gonna your kids
00:19:38.560 are going to kill themselves.
00:19:40.680 And so you did it.
00:19:42.860 And now you're watching your kid
00:19:44.280 broken.
00:19:48.360 And you were there.
00:19:51.300 And that's what Nicole Hannah-Jones did.
00:19:53.580 And by the time she figured it out,
00:19:55.200 it was already too late.
00:19:56.460 Damage was done.
00:19:57.840 She had harmed her own child.
00:20:01.320 I got to tell you,
00:20:02.100 there's no worse thing in the world
00:20:03.500 to feel that way.
00:20:04.880 I mean, I don't know
00:20:05.420 if you've ever felt that way.
00:20:08.560 Yeah, I do. I do. I sacrificed my time with my children, and I thought I was being right, for this job because I thought, honestly, I thought God would make up the difference because I felt the founders did this when they believed the country was it.
00:20:29.680 But I don't know if I'm any different than she is because I sacrificed my time, and nothing can replace your time.
00:20:38.560 And I sacrifice my time with my children, and I'm paying a heavy price.
00:20:48.800 But all that praise that Nicole got from strangers, it didn't mean anything.
00:20:56.380 Any of the praise I get from the audience, it doesn't mean anything.
00:21:01.260 The life of our children is the only thing that has meaning in the world.
00:21:05.380 more meaning than any ideology.
00:21:10.740 And that's how it should be for every parent.
00:21:13.960 But we have a generation of parents that is wrapped so tightly in the collective.
00:21:18.560 They can barely see out.
00:21:20.240 They're smothering.
00:21:21.440 And their kids are swinging the other way.
00:21:23.720 I'm telling you, Generation Alpha is going to push back on this.
00:21:28.540 They already are.
00:21:29.400 They are more conservative than I am.
00:21:33.500 They are pushing back.
00:21:35.380 And you know what? You know who's going to be there for that generation?
00:21:38.540 The grandparents.
00:21:40.160 Because generally speaking, the people who grew up in my age, who are now grandparents,
00:21:47.280 you know, the Reagan era, we didn't drink of the cup of collectivism.
00:21:51.340 And we have more in common with our grandchildren in the alpha generation than really our kids.
00:22:02.360 Grandparents still care about the individual.
00:22:05.380 Now, that has its own problems, but it can be good when we're wise.
00:22:09.140 All of this would be good if we did it in balance.
00:22:12.320 If we weren't just so diehard, it's got to be all of this, all the time.
00:22:17.680 No, in balance, in balance.
00:22:21.240 Do we have problems in the country with racism?
00:22:23.720 Yes.
00:22:24.100 Can we fix it?
00:22:25.260 Yes.
00:22:26.360 But we're never going to fix anything.
00:22:28.500 You're only going to make things worse if you say, I got to throw all of it out.
00:22:31.640 It's all racist.
00:22:32.960 Everything is racist.
00:22:33.920 It's not.
00:22:35.380 You're a lunatic.
00:22:38.000 And you're a lunatic if you say the opposite.
00:22:40.440 There's no racism.
00:22:41.660 They don't have a problem.
00:22:42.600 Of course there is.
00:22:48.700 But when a child turns to a parent and says,
00:22:51.360 what about me?
00:22:53.880 But maybe the grandparents can help answer.
00:23:02.000 Maybe the grandparents can help her become the free person
00:23:04.480 And she wants to be instead of a cog in the system, a stat, a victim, because victimhood is important.
00:23:13.440 It's not.
00:23:14.900 Nobody wants to be a victim.
00:23:16.660 This generation right now, they like being victims, but they don't really.
00:23:20.320 That's why they're killing themselves.
00:23:21.700 They're victims.
00:23:22.420 They're powerless.
00:23:23.680 Nobody wants to live their life.
00:23:24.920 There's no future in a life like that.
00:23:26.920 but regardless everyone needs to know that your life has meaning and purpose
00:23:37.780 and and this generation has been taught that nothing has meaning really nothing has meaning
00:23:46.060 which brings me to another story it's the story of the surrogate mother who appealed to the
00:23:52.760 Supreme Court here in Texas to be involved in the decisions of medical care for the baby she was
00:24:03.080 carrying. So this couple out of California hires this girl in Texas to carry the child. Now, I
00:24:11.860 don't know. I haven't been able to find out if this was her egg or the couple's egg and fertilization.
00:24:19.580 So I'm not sure.
00:24:20.460 I'm assuming it's that way.
00:24:21.500 It was all implanted in her.
00:24:22.980 That's a womb for rent.
00:24:25.900 You are now just a vessel, nothing more than a vessel.
00:24:30.440 So the child was diagnosed with a serious heart condition while in her womb.
00:24:35.400 And the legal parents asked her to abort.
00:24:38.540 And she said, I'm not aborting.
00:24:40.720 Okay, now who wins here?
00:24:43.000 Because it's their egg and their sperm.
00:24:45.560 You are just literally a house.
00:24:48.960 You're just allowing it to grow inside.
00:24:52.800 According to the law, he was the legal property of the parents who wanted to abort him.
00:24:59.080 And she wouldn't do it.
00:25:00.960 And I'm glad, but you're not going to win this one because you've taken yourself and you've reduced yourself to a meat suit.
00:25:12.020 That's it.
00:25:12.940 You're a room or a womb for rent.
00:25:15.340 You're a meat suit.
00:25:18.960 I mean, how long before this culture would look at young women in comas and go,
00:25:24.100 you know what, we can grow sides and things in her.
00:25:26.740 Why don't we just grow our babies in her?
00:25:28.640 She's in a coma, but she's perfectly fine.
00:25:30.780 She can grow a baby.
00:25:32.480 I mean, that's what you're doing.
00:25:34.480 It is what you're doing.
00:25:37.820 Because many people think that's all their bodies are, meat suits.
00:25:42.040 Your body has meaning.
00:25:44.280 It can't be rearranged.
00:25:45.860 It can't be discarded.
00:25:46.740 It can't be ignored according to ideology.
00:25:48.960 A baby's body in the womb has meaning.
00:25:51.880 A confused teenager who wants to cut off her own breasts, her body has meaning.
00:25:58.220 The womb of the surrogate mother, her body has meaning, but we haven't given it meaning.
00:26:03.120 It has divine meaning.
00:26:05.940 It can't be written off with some surrogacy contract, no matter what we say.
00:26:11.000 It can't be, if you cut off your breasts because they're diseased, that's different.
00:26:15.840 but because you feel like your body your body we are going to wake up we are going to wake up soon
00:26:23.540 because it's already happening but the damage that is being done we are going to wake up to
00:26:29.460 the inhumanity of surrogacy i think like we woke up to abortion but by then it's going to be so
00:26:36.200 entrenched in our society that we'll all inadvertently decide our bodies our lives
00:26:42.040 are meaningless. Interchangeable. Everything's interchangeable.
00:26:45.940 And the Supreme Court's not going to fix this. This is a deep philosophical
00:26:50.060 problem. But even more than that, it's a problem
00:26:54.100 that goes way down into our hearts.
00:26:58.660 This is something I've been struggling with for a while.
00:27:03.620 This summer, I've really had
00:27:06.160 a struggle. Do you believe your body is a temple? Like the Bible
00:27:10.120 says. Do you believe your body is a temple? I'm going to show you my struggle here, and I'm going
00:27:16.260 to tie it all together. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:27:24.740 you know there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have you walk into a bedroom
00:27:43.380 you take one look at your kid and go yeah he's getting sick you don't need a thermometer you
00:27:47.420 don't need a doctor you just know right unfortunately knowing they're about to get
00:27:51.780 sick is the easy part. The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug. The pharmacy
00:27:57.820 is out of the medication they need, and now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in
00:28:02.640 stock. That's why I advise you, prepare before the first cough starts. The Kids Case from Jace

00:28:43.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:28:50.440 okay so this progressive polling outfit comes up reads uh you know and talks to 683 democratic
00:29:06.600 voters they begin with this simple question imagine you wake up tomorrow and it says this
00:29:11.860 president donald trump was assassinated while speaking at a rally 23 percent said they would
00:29:18.540 be very positive. 8% somewhat positive. 25% said they wouldn't feel one way or another,
00:29:27.940 so they're just dead inside. And 43% said they'd feel bad. That's a little disturbing.
00:29:36.420 23% would say nearly one in three that they would be happy. A shrug, one in four.
00:29:44.680 fewer than half even are bothered by a man being shot on stage in a country where
00:29:51.100 somebody's already tried to do this twice a year after charlie kirk was shot on a stage in utah
00:29:56.660 and people are still celebrating that the man who wrote the results for the magazine looked at the
00:30:02.320 numbers and wrote thankfully on net democrats are not pro-political violence oh oh on net
00:30:09.960 i want you to go back to september 11th 2001 if you were alive
00:30:17.960 if you weren't just hear me out for a second the buildings come down we're starting to watch on tv
00:30:27.040 all across the country people all over the world lighting candles having prayer vigils crying
00:30:35.200 for America and this tragedy, and then we saw people who were handing out candies and
00:30:42.200 cookies and celebrating on the street with their children, and we watched it on television
00:30:49.360 and it made us sick.
00:30:50.340 The whole world, by the way, it was Palestinians, the whole world was shocked and horrified
00:30:57.540 by the dancing for death.
00:31:05.200 So what's the difference?
00:31:07.620 Well, in the heart, very little.
00:31:09.760 People handing out candy, they didn't fly the planes.
00:31:12.980 Most of them would have never hurt anyone with their own hands, I guess.
00:31:17.640 But they just decided that we were evil.
00:31:20.080 And once you decide that, whatever happens stops mattering.
00:31:24.060 And in fact, if you really think they're evil, you start to celebrate and hand candy and sweets out.
00:31:30.080 All that matters is that it happened to the right people.
00:31:35.200 It's the same sentence.
00:31:36.740 The only difference is where the people are standing.
00:31:41.860 The men with the suites were half a world away.
00:31:44.800 These people live on your street.
00:31:47.660 Then the poll asks about a military takeover.
00:31:51.220 A military takeover.
00:31:53.220 Separate question about the 25th Amendment.
00:31:55.660 This is, how do you feel about if you woke up one morning and you found out that generals in the military
00:32:03.100 removed the president by force and took control of the country. And the reason given was to
00:32:10.640 safeguard the constitution. 59% of Democrats say they'd feel good about that. 59, and I'm the
00:32:19.140 fascist, 59% say a military coup done by generals. Remember, we are the country where the commander
00:32:29.460 in chief must be. Do you know that our president, if their nuclear missiles launched, he cannot
00:32:35.700 get advice from the military? It is so embedded in our culture that this is a military run by
00:32:44.720 the citizens, not by the military, that he says, well, I want advice. Guys, can you tell me what
00:32:50.560 do I do? What do I do? They have to say, Mr. President, I'm sorry, we can't tell you what to
00:32:53.700 do. You have to make the decision yourself. We can tell you the facts, but you have to make the
00:32:57.620 decision you're fine in that country you're fine 59 percent by the way nobody has ever rolled tanks
00:33:06.960 into a capital and announced that they're here to end the republic they always say it's to save
00:33:11.160 the republic you know the most famous assassination in history was sold exactly exactly that way the
00:33:16.320 ides of what was it the ides of mark uh march group of roman senators they stabbed julius
00:33:22.060 caesar to death in the halls where the senate was meeting and they called themselves liberators
00:33:27.320 They're liberators.
00:33:28.220 We're going to save the Republic.
00:33:29.260 They didn't save the Republic.
00:33:30.480 They ended the Republic.
00:33:32.020 That same year, do you know what happened next?
00:33:34.460 Listen to this because it's important because it's what's coming next here.
00:33:38.320 Antony and Caesar's young heir sat down together and did what people like this always do.
00:33:44.140 Who are the people that caused this problem?
00:33:47.500 We need a list and then we need their heads.
00:33:51.860 So they made that list.
00:33:53.040 They posted in the forum with a reward for every head brought in and people cheered.
00:34:00.480 The cheering in the list always arrived together.
00:34:05.940 Now look at the rest of the poll.
00:34:08.160 Same Democrats, the ones who want the generals to safeguard the Constitution.
00:34:14.400 69% say the next Democratic president needs to add seats to the Supreme Court.
00:34:19.820 A majority want the filibuster gone. Abolishing the Senate was the least popular idea in the entire poll. Good. But it is written into the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America. And this same poll found Democratic voters like the DSA by net 34 points. They don't want the idea. They like the people who have it.
00:34:42.700 and outside this poll there's a there's a compact moving through the senate and state legislators
00:34:50.280 a bill that will make the electoral college meaningless without ever amending the constitution
00:34:57.520 now not every dictator starts with the court lenin just shut shut the courts down but the
00:35:06.020 modern kind the ones who want to keep holding elections so they can still call themselves
00:35:10.140 Democrats or Republicans or, you know, not dictators. Almost always go through it. They
00:35:19.240 just add seats to the Supreme Court. Hugo Chavez from Venezuela, the high court, went from 20
00:35:26.080 justices to 32. You just keep adding seats, you know, to the constitutional court. Turkey did it.
00:35:34.600 Hungary added four.
00:35:36.520 Nobody padlocked a courthouse.
00:35:38.520 They had chairs until the court finally agrees with them.
00:35:43.140 Hear me clearly on packing the court.
00:35:45.460 That is not the first step towards a banana republic.
00:35:49.380 It is the last step of a dying republic.
00:35:54.220 It is the day the referee stops being the referee.
00:35:59.160 You want to change the Constitution?
00:36:00.760 That's fine.
00:36:01.320 Go ahead.
00:36:02.020 Founders gave you a way to do it.
00:36:03.660 You can do it.
00:36:08.780 They left instructions on how to do it.
00:36:10.740 It's Article 5.
00:36:11.900 We've used it 27 times.
00:36:13.880 We ended slavery with it.
00:36:15.200 We gave women the right to vote with it.
00:36:16.760 We banned liquor with it, and then we unbanned liquor with it,
00:36:19.800 which tells you it works in both directions.
00:36:22.020 It's hard on purpose, so no angry season like the one we're living in can do it alone.
00:36:28.800 You cannot love the founders and our documents and our country
00:36:32.560 and then go looking for a side door the poll also found clear majorities want the next democratic
00:36:38.980 president to prosecute trump officials stephen miller by name pete hegseth by name any official
00:36:46.400 who supported ice and border patrol and outside the poll you have heard the rest of it democratic
00:36:52.820 nominee for congress in new york on a town hall call talked about re-education or re-educating
00:36:59.260 Trump voters, admitting, listen to this one, he said, yes, it does sound like a re-education
00:37:06.100 camp, but I'm sure we can find another way to phrase it.
00:37:10.380 So he's only worried about the name, not that it's an actual re-education camp.
00:37:17.300 Former Secretary of State on CNN floated a formal deprogramming of the cult members that
00:37:23.360 voted for Trump and our MAGA.
00:37:24.960 And the day after this poll came out, the same magazine published a piece titled, On the Practical Case for a Book of Grudges.
00:37:39.300 Do you see where we're headed?
00:37:41.580 By the way, you can't spend four years telling America that Donald Trump is rounding up his enemies, throwing them all in jail, and then keep a book of grudges.
00:37:49.580 That isn't opposing the thing you fear.
00:37:52.140 That's auditioning for it.
00:37:54.960 I'm going to be as fair as I can and say most Democrats, and I believe this, most Democrats are not for these things.
00:38:02.380 They may not have thought them through, but they're not for all of these things.
00:38:08.880 And those who are for it, I don't think they've thought it through.
00:38:12.700 But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.
00:38:15.000 But a movement is not steered by its majority.
00:38:17.800 It is steered by its true believers.
00:38:20.540 and Marxists and Islamists are true believers
00:38:24.640 and they have a record.
00:38:27.280 You know, in October of 1917,
00:38:30.040 the Bolsheviks picked seven men to run the revolution.
00:38:33.120 Lenin died of strokes.
00:38:34.860 Stalin died in bed.
00:38:37.480 The other five were all killed by the state that Stalin ran.
00:38:41.780 Three of them shot, one dead in a prison cell
00:38:44.400 and one with an ice pick in his chest in Mexico.
00:38:48.360 show those men weren't enemies of the revolution they were the revolution if the true believers
00:38:55.960 will do that to a man who led it what do you suppose they'll do to the suburban mom who voted
00:39:01.540 for uh voted for somebody else else because the price of eggs voted for them over the price of
00:39:07.400 eggs they vote for she votes for them over the because of the price of eggs what's the first
00:39:12.940 what happens to her the first time she says,
00:39:14.580 well, that's too far.
00:39:19.240 Cicero in Rome thought he was cheering for the Republic.
00:39:22.020 He was cheering for his funeral.
00:39:25.280 Because a year after he was cheering for, you know,
00:39:29.560 get him, his name was on the list.
00:39:32.640 When you celebrate the killing of a man you hate,
00:39:35.820 you have agreed that hated men can be killed.
00:39:40.180 and you're assuming that no one will ever hate you.
00:39:47.700 The rule you cheer for is the rule you will live under.
00:39:53.580 That's good advice that needs to be heeded by both the left and the right.
00:40:06.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program
