Well, today is a podcast that could get somebody killed, or at least milkshaked.
00:00:08.160
It is Bridget Phetasy joining us on the podcast today.
00:00:14.460
If you know who she is, you'll definitely listen.
00:00:19.400
She's very, very funny, outspoken, and somebody who is finding herself now looking at the left,
00:00:25.440
which she's always been a part of, going, I know, I'm not sure, I don't know where I belong anymore,
00:00:31.620
which I think is happening to so many Americans.
00:00:34.700
Also, we talk about law and order in Portland, Oregon, and how bad things are.
00:00:49.200
And don't miss the museum that's going on here at the studios.
00:00:55.760
You get to go through kind of the real rooms we do the show in every day,
00:01:04.040
Yeah, come spend your 4th of July Independence Weekend with us.
00:01:07.020
Come and grab your tickets now at mercuryone.org.
00:01:12.620
I'll see you at the Mercury Museum here in Dallas, Texas at the Mercury Studios
00:01:21.140
We open the doors again beginning July 4th through the 7th,
00:01:25.920
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:43.440
Remember I told you that everything, everything that was liquid would be solid
00:01:47.300
and everything that was solid will be liquid someday?
00:01:56.840
If we don't enforce our laws, do our laws matter?
00:02:02.140
A Portland area reporter known for his coverage of far-left violence has been injured
00:02:07.320
in an attack by alleged members of Antifa, leaving him hospitalized with a brain bleed.
00:02:29.660
He is an editor at Quillette, which is, if you haven't gone to Quillette.com, you should.
00:02:38.900
It's being described everywhere as a conservative website, which is not what it is.
00:02:44.120
Well, it is if you want to define conservatives as constitutional.
00:02:54.260
Constitutional conservatives are classical liberals.
00:02:59.860
They are people that you're not always going to agree with, and sometimes they don't even agree.
00:03:06.400
I don't want this to be true, but if we like freedom, we have to support this.
00:03:11.160
And a lot of times it's aligned with our Constitution, but it was started by an Australian.
00:03:18.620
Anyway, so he is one of the editors at Quillette, and he's also the host of the podcast,
00:03:25.420
He was reporting on the Antifa Street demonstrations in Portland on the 29th of last month,
00:03:38.540
There was another big protest down in the park, and he was filming the police taking bats away from people.
00:03:47.020
All of the people that were there, he was documenting.
00:03:59.100
Their little group and their little logo was out in the park.
00:04:01.960
All kinds of different groups, including a lot of communist flags, red flags.
00:04:09.900
The Democratic Socialists were the organizers of it.
00:04:13.800
And they were selling milkshakes, so you could milkshake somebody.
00:04:19.840
Vegan milkshakes, which apparently are now including a little bit of concrete in them.
00:04:31.720
So Andy is standing there, and all he's doing is filming.
00:04:36.840
And he says, I've watched all of the videos from him, and he starts to say,
00:04:47.440
Goes over to the police, and he says, look, I'm being harassed.
00:05:02.720
This time, in the middle of the street, they take their signs, the wood signs,
00:05:15.900
Then some sort of a chemical is thrown into his face.
00:05:44.980
It was my understanding last night that he was out of the hospital, but I heard just about an hour ago that it looks like he is still in the hospital.
00:05:54.420
We'd love to talk to him when he is able to talk.
00:06:04.980
It's amazing that that's happening in an American city.
00:06:08.420
And that the police and the mayor seem to have absolutely no concern.
00:06:12.220
I mean, I am sure the police want to step in on these cases.
00:06:16.780
But the mayor has a very specific ideology that allows this.
00:06:22.820
If you're living in Portland or anywhere in Oregon and you have seen this, can you just call us and tell us how are people dealing with this?
00:06:43.380
We just started our museum this last weekend, and I'll talk to you about it.
00:06:51.080
And there's one place in the center of our atrium that is really pretty shocking.
00:06:55.440
It has Klan members and the Klan outfits with the hoods and the hanging tree.
00:07:03.280
And behind that is the hanging cage with the orange jumpsuits.
00:07:11.200
And these are jumpsuits from slaves, ISIS slaves, that we actually freed.
00:07:17.760
And so these are actual jumpsuits from people that were taken by ISIS.
00:07:22.340
And next to it is an actual ISIS uniform and gun belt and everything else that was taken from an ISIS member, both wearing masks.
00:07:43.680
No, masks are used by people like this because they want to make sure that you don't know who they are, not for fear of trouble, because, as you know, they're not getting in trouble in Portland, not for fear that you will know who they are.
00:08:01.260
But they want to be able to blend back into society so you never know if that's the guy that was trying to beat you up.
00:08:09.860
Was that the guy that came into my house and took my husband and lynched him in a tree?
00:08:17.760
I don't know because all I saw is his eyes behind the white mask.
00:08:21.800
Is that the person that came and was rounding up all the Christians in our community and beheaded them?
00:08:28.560
I don't know because all I saw were his eyes in the black ISIS mask.
00:08:33.420
Is this the group of people that were hassling and beating up Andy Ngo?
00:08:41.740
Well, we're not really sure because all we saw were the eyes.
00:08:46.500
They want to blend into society so they never they never reveal you never know if you're safe.
00:08:56.380
Is this person at the store that's working behind the counter?
00:09:14.020
Especially when the police can do something about it.
00:09:24.020
When people were making Martin Luther King afraid?
00:09:27.540
When they were throwing things through his window?
00:09:36.200
Is it a good thing that they're just taking people?
00:09:49.340
There's this this apartment complex where the elderly live.
00:09:56.040
Is it okay for people who had food carts that had been there forever?
00:10:08.120
How can we possibly have freedom if there is no security?
00:10:24.300
And yet we were all responsible for our own farm or whatever.
00:10:29.460
And when we would be raided, there would be nobody there to help.
00:10:35.580
When we would be in town, our families could be molested.
00:10:40.280
When we had something go wrong, we had nobody except our neighbors.
00:10:46.340
And so what we did is we became more and more specialized as we said,
00:10:51.900
you know what, I'll grow the wheat, you make the bread.
00:10:58.720
You know, I'll make the wheat and I'll trade you wheat if you'll help build the barn.
00:11:03.000
As we started to do those things and we busied ourselves in our own world to be able to exist,
00:11:13.120
we needed to hire people to watch over the things because we couldn't do that,
00:11:20.240
keep the bad guys away and be a farmer and be a logger or, you know, a miller, a shopkeeper.
00:11:34.720
And we hired a mayor to make sure that was happening.
00:11:42.100
This mayor is not protecting American citizens.
00:11:46.520
The police are not protecting American citizens.
00:11:51.560
They are allowing American citizens who are fully in their right to drive down the street.
00:11:58.500
You see the woman who was trapped in her car, Antifa surrounding her, yelling at her, spitting on her.
00:12:05.100
Why? Because she was just driving down the street.
00:12:16.820
And by the way, the media is doing, no, I was going to say they're doing nothing.
00:12:31.080
I've watched them in the streets protesting in different situations, okay?
00:12:34.540
There are certainly aspects of them that are true to a cause.
00:12:44.640
You tell me when that has ever happened with neo-Nazis.
00:12:48.420
Where they have ever been doing the right thing.
00:12:53.340
Antifa wants power, wants political power taken through force.
00:13:07.960
And if they do, they'll make him into some right-wing kook.
00:13:20.100
Isn't it time you demand what Ted Cruz is demanding?
00:13:24.280
Action being taken against these mayors and anyone else who won't enforce the law.
00:13:36.480
And people, Americans, who are not dressed in black, who are not afraid to have their face being seen.
00:13:46.500
Those Americans need protection and they need it now.
00:14:01.280

00:14:32.780
But we've lived, I've lived in Portland since I was 10, and we sold our house in December because we couldn't take it anymore.
00:14:44.440
We were living just outside the city of Portland and southeast Portland, and it's crazy.
00:15:11.340
I don't have any idea what that man is thinking.
00:15:22.660
You can't even drive in the street without Antifa beating your car.
00:15:26.740
Were people around you, were the neighbors, all cool with this?
00:15:39.520
But nobody knows what to do because you've got the mayor allowing it.
00:15:45.700
You can't protest Antifa because they'll go strictly to violence right away.
00:15:56.040
I'm glad that you were down here at the museum this weekend.
00:16:07.440
So I don't live in Portland, but I'm about to head in there for work today.
00:16:11.780
I work in downtown Portland and have for a couple of years actually in news.
00:16:14.780
And I was working during last year's protest between Antifa and, at that time, Patriot Prayer
00:16:24.320
Luckily, most of their protests are on the weekend, so I don't know that it impacts a
00:16:30.560
But when it does, it's like everything shuts down.
00:16:41.240
Yeah, it's just, it seems like something you wouldn't see in America.
00:16:46.960
How do you and other people in Portland feel about this?
00:16:52.200
Is this, are people, like our last caller just said, they don't like it, but what are
00:16:57.880
Or are most people in agreement with the ideas, at least, of Antifa?
00:17:09.060
Um, I think most people who live in Portland don't like that this is what their city is
00:17:13.460
like, but they're more politically on Antifa's side.
00:17:17.760
So I think it's hard for them to figure out how they feel about it.
00:17:27.860
I don't feel unsafe, but it's definitely, you know, you have to deal with a lot of things
00:17:31.420
that you might not want to, like protesters yelling at you with bullhorns and stuff.
00:17:39.080
At least you didn't get hit in the head with a crowbar, like the old guy who's just walking
00:17:44.700
Or Andy Ngo, who's in the hospital for a brain bleed today.
00:17:48.720
If you live in, if you live in Portland or you've just left Portland, we'd love to hear
00:17:54.160
from you, uh, on what, what is really, what is it like to live in a city that seems like
00:18:01.520
a third world country now where there is no control of the streets, uh, and the mayor is
00:18:17.380
I live in Ohio now where I grew up and I spent 19 years in Portland.
00:18:21.260
Downtown used to be the destination for everybody.
00:18:29.560
Now I still work for a company that's based in downtown Portland.
00:18:34.040
I left about the time that the Occupy movement was going on and I started carrying police
00:18:41.540
I didn't want to carry a gun because I was afraid I might, you know, use it and then have
00:18:45.640
it used against me since the law isn't on the side of good people in Portland, but it's
00:18:50.940
People are pulling their businesses out of downtown Columbia sportswear pulled out their flagship
00:18:57.940
And the mayor was supposed to be the agent of change.
00:19:04.040
He got intimidated as soon as he got in office by the, uh, the Antifa and the homeless coalition.
00:19:10.880
And he's done absolutely nothing to make that city safe since then.
00:19:15.160
So is he, is he with them or is he just a coward?
00:19:20.220
I think he's slightly with them, but he's mostly a coward.
00:19:23.300
They actually went to his house and protested and threatened his family.
00:19:27.020
And the moment they did that, he turned into a complete coward and has done nothing but
00:19:31.660
kowtow to the violence and the mobs that, that take on the portal.
00:19:35.660
I've been there on a couple of weekends when that stuff is going on.
00:19:41.740
I mean, you can't walk down the street without some homeless person.
00:19:45.120
And there's a lot of homeless by choice in downtown Portland, harassing you hard.
00:19:50.280
And I'm six foot three and 215 pounds and I'm scared.
00:20:07.480
I went to a, uh, event that is quite common and I was threatened by a fellow.
00:20:14.940
All he did was learn that I had conservative values and he threatened me.
00:20:20.620
And, um, what finally broke the camel's back is I found out it was on the news about how
00:20:28.120
Portland and Seattle were competing with each other to see who could get the most child
00:20:42.120
I'm getting the hell out of here because it, I mean, those people are dangerous.
00:20:46.720
Um, if they're going to encourage child prostitution and what they were doing is that I would lived
00:20:53.880
in Canada for three years, right in the British Columbia area.
00:20:56.740
And they were showing videos on the TV at night about trucks pulling up to the American border
00:21:04.120
and dropping off 10, 15, 20, 25 people at a time to run across the border.
00:21:12.720
And the Asians have swamped the entire government of Washington state.
00:21:19.580
People I know who work for the government there, they say, you can't believe what those people
00:21:23.980
And that was because of the, the one governor that they had there who was an Asian.
00:21:28.460
And I mean, he just took the people out of power and put his people in.
00:21:33.240
Well, it, I mean, I think we crossed a, we crossed a line here at some point where I'm
00:21:42.640
I know a lot of Asian people who are wonderful.
00:21:46.280
Uh, I don't, I'm not sure what, where you're going with that.
00:21:51.300
I thought that agents at first, I was like agents, what are agents doing in this?
00:22:01.340
Well, I mean, look, uh, I don't know how to deal with that.
00:22:07.860
Again, this is, these are like, if people are doing things that are wrong, uh, like committing
00:22:12.640
crimes or violating laws, that's the, the issue here really doesn't, it's not really
00:22:18.540
Um, this is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:49.420
She was, uh, working at, uh, Playboy magazine for a while.
00:22:53.720
She is, she is a controversial woman and a really, I think, important voice that you
00:23:04.460
She, I'm not sure she thinks she's, she doesn't know what she is.
00:23:07.220
I think at this point, at least last time I talked to her, uh, but she's on a fascinating
00:23:12.500
Uh, and she has seen the underbelly of the left and, uh, doesn't like it.
00:23:17.660
She's now a contributor writing, uh, writer at Mel Dame, the Federalist.
00:23:21.420
I'm trying to convince her to come to work here with us.
00:23:30.180
That might be my only option to work here soon.
00:23:36.560
Usually it is, uh, usually it's the last place you work.
00:23:45.100
So, um, uh, Bridget, first of all, for anybody who doesn't know you, describe yourself.
00:24:03.040
Um, my people ask me if I'm military, but I don't think I was.
00:24:08.960
My dad was in Russia, like every year and a half, um, we, every two weeks.
00:24:17.640
He's probably going to kill me for talking about that.
00:24:28.320
And I was the new girl at Skulls and I'd raise my hand and they'd, the teacher would
00:24:33.880
And I'd say, Oh, he buys and sells Russian technology.
00:24:37.060
And you're like, okay, what years were, was, uh, gosh, I was born in 78 and pretty much
00:24:49.800
So this might be something you might want to have a conversation with.
00:24:57.060
And supposedly it was, it's just me being crazy.
00:25:03.140
When we all, we saw true lies with them and we were all looking at him.
00:25:20.460
Um, I did, I was married to a Belorussian for five years and when he was, he was like,
00:25:38.240
I have 26 first cousins, but because I moved so much, I had the opportunity to be exposed
00:25:49.940
And I used to say my parents should have just named me new girl because nobody ever knew
00:25:56.740
And I, that, but it also gave me, I think tools that I didn't realize I was developing
00:26:03.280
because you're always the outsider looking in and you, it's uniquely prepared me for this
00:26:10.900
I find myself in not knowing who I am or what I am, um, looking, I feel like at all of the
00:26:20.240
So that's, I'm used to kind of observing, observing the tribes from the outside.
00:26:31.020
I think that, I think I would love to see one big tribe and that is the American constitution
00:26:36.640
tribe, which would include pretty much everybody.
00:26:40.500
As long as you agree that, Hey, everybody can have their own opinion, their own life, do
00:26:53.820
So I've worked in Oregon and Southern Oregon and I have a lot of friends in Portland and
00:26:58.380
they have kids and they don't even know what's going on with the, with the Antifa stuff because
00:27:02.880
it's in, well, they know from the news, but it's not, it's not in their neighborhoods.
00:27:07.700
It's not like it's spilling out into the streets everywhere.
00:27:10.840
So my friend said, I asked him yesterday and he's like, I didn't even hear about it.
00:27:15.160
You don't even know this stuff is going on unless you just avoid that part of town, I
00:27:19.480
But I, I feel like Portland has become kind of ground zero for the extreme wings of these
00:27:27.720
The most extreme are kind of playing out their little cosplay fantasies on the streets to
00:27:36.000
I mean, I can't, I, I think it's so dumb, but now it's getting not so dumb.
00:27:44.140
It's getting dumber by the minute, but it's just getting more dangerous.
00:27:49.120
What happened, it was chilling for somebody like me who doesn't always, you know, write
00:27:53.460
in lockstep, seeing a lot of blue check journalists who are affiliated with places like the Huffington
00:28:00.800
Post and the New York times, mainstream organizations, justifying the assault of this journalist.
00:28:21.900
So he wrote this quote, a contributor to the wall street journal was attacked on video
00:28:26.600
by, uh, Antifa demonstrators where police were back where police backed away.
00:28:31.920
Hospitalized was suspected brain injury after caustic chemicals were allegedly thrown in his
00:28:36.520
face, disguised by domestic terrorist as a milkshake.
00:28:42.740
Because the one I read is this members of groups opposed to fascism.
00:28:48.960
Clashed with far wheat right proud boys in Portland demonstrations in which a conservative
00:29:02.220
And you know, that's exactly how it's being reported.
00:29:13.840
And these are people who are just against fascism.
00:29:19.460
I'm going to get milkshaked when I go back to LA just for sitting here and talking to you.
00:29:26.580
Um, I love strawberry, fresh strawberry milkshakes are delicious.
00:29:43.400
When you're trying, when you're saying it's okay to throw a milkshake, it's okay to spit
00:29:49.500
Well, but what do you, I mean, we have a, as you probably noticed when you walk through
00:29:53.520
and right out of the dressing room area, you know, it was, you know, the Klan and,
00:29:59.900
I, yeah, I was a little, I was like, what's happening?
00:30:08.900
But as you're, you're looking at this, I gave tours, uh, this weekend, uh, of this museum
00:30:14.640
and it's so clear what's, what's happening right now.
00:30:24.060
Anytime anyone says you don't have a, uh, a right to have that point of view, anytime
00:30:32.380
anybody is beating somebody to get them to shut up, you've got a problem.
00:30:38.040
And I think Antifa is strengthened not only by in Portland, the, the, uh, the mayor's office,
00:30:45.720
but by all of the journalists, by all of the people who say, well, I didn't even know
00:30:57.040
And it's also strengthened by this concept that you don't have a valued opinion.
00:31:05.660
You had a valued opinion until people, until you started staying up, standing up going,
00:31:11.680
I don't agree with everything that I was saying on the right.
00:31:13.900
I don't agree with everything that I was saying on the left, but I got to take a stand here
00:31:29.340
It's, it's a little disconcerting to see what, what is really worrisome to me is just the
00:31:37.280
justification of it that I'm seeing from people with very large platforms of this is okay,
00:31:43.380
because you want to talk about a slippery slope.
00:31:45.660
And when I was on your podcast, we talked about this.
00:31:48.580
This is the kind of stuff that does lead to self-censorship.
00:31:51.540
If you see a journalist get beat up for covering Antifa in a way that isn't the way the mainstream
00:31:58.120
covers it and then you see those journalists saying, well, actually, if you in the good faith argument
00:32:05.840
is that they believe if I believe I'm fighting Nazis, of course you, you should be fighting Nazis.
00:32:13.720
But the problem is that that word fascist has been so it's this coverall for anyone that disagrees with you.
00:32:20.940
It's been the, the meaning of it has been destroyed as well as Nazis.
00:32:24.540
So now when every, and we've talked about that, I mean, Dave Rubin and I were saying this, it's like,
00:32:29.720
if only anyone was saying this is bad, because now when you're saying speech is violence,
00:32:34.980
it gives people the right to be violent for speech.
00:32:42.600
It's, I, it's so hard for me to believe that it's happening.
00:32:47.420
But if you look again at history, and this is, this is where we have to look for patterns.
00:32:52.640
The only reason to learn history is so you can see patterns.
00:32:56.100
And once you recognize the pattern, it may not, it, it's never going to look the same.
00:33:12.760
We're not burning books, but we are taking books out of libraries.
00:33:16.820
We are deleting voices and their opinions online.
00:33:20.800
There's just no actual burning of everything that Steven Crowder or, or the Weinsteins have done.
00:33:27.380
They've just been banned and relegated and put behind a digital wall.
00:33:35.380
They're mobbing people before they even get published.
00:33:38.420
You can't burn a book if it never gets published.
00:33:41.080
So it's not even, you don't need to burn the book.
00:33:43.660
Just mob the author until they retract their book from publication because they're, and then have to apologize.
00:33:50.840
And when you look at, well, I want to take it, I'm going to take it one more place.
00:33:53.900
I'm going to take it someplace really dangerous.
00:33:56.860
Let's talk about, let's talk about what was the purchase.
00:34:08.680
This is definitely what I'm going to end up trending on Twitter, which I've been trying to avoid.
00:34:13.900
Well, we're going to try to change that for you.
00:34:16.860
Bridget Fetis will come up in 60 seconds more with Bridget.
00:34:21.740
So let's, so let's talk about just lynching for just a second.
00:34:32.640
The, the whole point, the whole point of lynching was not to kill black people.
00:34:42.920
It was to intimidate all other black people and white people.
00:34:48.220
You know, there were between 18, how was it, 1880 and 1964, there were about 5,000 lynchings,
00:35:12.100
The idea was to intimidate, to kill those people, doing it publicly.
00:35:24.480
Now, those people who didn't come with picnic baskets to watch these lynchings,
00:35:29.340
those were the people that, you know, the, the, the mask over the Klan was trying to intimidate
00:35:37.800
and the, the lynching was trying to intimidate.
00:35:46.660
Too many people are, are either uninformed, willful ignorance, or they just don't want to
00:35:53.080
get involved because I think they don't know what to do.
00:36:03.700
You just told me, I said, I said to you beforehand, cause you are nervous about it.
00:36:10.700
Uh, and, uh, I said to you before it went on, I said, you don't have to come on.
00:36:16.840
And you said, I said, just because I'm afraid of something doesn't mean I'm not going
00:36:21.620
And I do think it's important to have conversations.
00:36:24.560
And I think a way to fight the idea that you can't talk to somebody who's an alt-right
00:36:38.280
You know, it's crazy is we've been standing against the alt-right before it was even called
00:36:43.580
I see the position that people like you and Ben Shapiro, because I, I, I keep an eye on
00:36:52.560
And it's interesting to me when you guys are constantly getting it from, from both sides.
00:36:58.660
It's kind of a lonely place to be, kind of a lonely place, but it's a great place to be
00:37:03.680
because you are with people like Dave Rubin, the Weinsteins, you're with you, you know, it's
00:37:10.100
a, it's a, and it's a growing, there was time that it was just kind of like, hello, hello,
00:37:14.560
hello, nobody around, but now it's starting to be filled with really quality people.
00:37:22.880
I think they're seeing, I think a lot of people are burned out on the tribalism.
00:37:27.720
And when you get out into America, if you're not on Twitter and the media, you're not necessarily
00:37:33.760
exposed to the level of vitriol and tribalism that we are.
00:37:38.460
I think that James Lindsay was recently posting a study about how actually you're radicalizing
00:37:44.020
yourself if you're on social media a lot and Twitter in particular.
00:37:48.240
And I have conversations, my, one of my patron levels is speaking to people.
00:37:54.040
And it's, I realized recently that I have, there's 21 at that level, 18 of them, every
00:38:03.340
And there, many of them are in swing states who didn't vote for Trump.
00:38:07.340
And I've been asking them how they feel about the election coming up.
00:38:14.380
I've been, that was kind of how I ended up in the middle was saying, you guys are pushing
00:38:19.140
You're pushing voters who are moderates out of your party, just because if you dare to
00:38:28.260
You're now labeled a conservative or alt-right or worse.
00:38:31.680
And a lot of these, the other thing that I noticed and talked to my, um, people about
00:38:37.880
was that they were all of this kind of chicken littling that occurred, the economy is going
00:38:45.800
It hasn't yet doesn't mean it won't, but because that didn't happen, a lot of these people
00:38:50.200
who didn't vote for Trump or might've been squishy about it are now like, well, it's not
00:38:58.340
And seeing that the left is now fully, you know, barreling towards socialism and, and,
00:39:10.080
I just think that, and that's what I was saying at this point that I feel like the entitlement
00:39:15.460
of the vote is what, why don't you care about losing somebody like me?
00:39:22.520
That's a question I have because now I'm just labeled racist and that's a certain level
00:39:28.040
of entitlement to just say, well, vote for us or you're racist.
00:39:32.200
So I need to take a break, but when we come back, let's go there because I can't figure
00:39:39.760
I can't figure out, are they just living in such a tight little bubble that they just
00:39:47.240
think everybody thinks the same way as they do or, or what, what is their plan?
00:39:52.380
And we'll get to that with Bridget Phetasy, who is, uh, hopefully going to be trending
00:39:56.940
on Twitter today for just being on this program coming up in a second.
00:40:07.500
It's an amazing weekend here at the, uh, Mercury studios.
00:40:22.200
I felt a little like Willy Wonka opening up the back door, welcoming the first guests,
00:40:29.120
We did 12 score and three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity.
00:40:37.520
We have the emancipation proclamation, the 14th amendment.
00:40:41.940
You can see them firsthand in Lincoln's handwriting.
00:40:46.160
It's, it's amazing to sit there and look at these things.
00:40:50.340
And we urge you to come and, uh, and, and reflect on what freedom really means and how freedom
00:41:04.140
You know, you can talk about, oh, our founders, they were screwed up.
00:41:11.480
We can debate that all day long and we can look at it.
00:41:15.040
And we do in the museum, we show you, uh, the different things that they were debating
00:41:20.320
Uh, but shouldn't, aren't we writing history ourself today?
00:41:25.720
What is, how's history 250 years from now, are people going to go, you know, those people
00:41:35.180
I mean, they knew their phones were being made by slaves in China.
00:41:38.400
They knew, they knew that North Korea had actual concentration camps, but they didn't
00:41:55.360
I'm going to be, uh, giving tours and I'd love to have you on our tours.
00:41:59.520
I'd love to meet you and shake your hand, say hello and, uh, walk you through 12 score
00:42:04.980
It's here at the Mercury studios in Las Colinas, Texas.
00:42:11.300
Uh, also, uh, it is open the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, and it closes on the 7th.
00:42:19.700
You can get all of the information and your tickets now at mercuryone.org.
00:42:24.380
