00:00:30.000
You know, sometimes it feels like there is no God, Stu.
00:00:38.900
I mean, you're just saying that things are so dark.
00:00:41.540
Things are so dark and things go wrong and you're like, why?
00:00:55.140
If there is a God, why would the Fonny Willis information about her scandal and what we now
00:01:06.620
have in phone records, why would that break five minutes before we were off this podcast?
00:01:15.240
Luckily, we'll have time to talk about it on your TV show at blazedv.com slash glen today
00:01:24.920
We're going to have all weekend to stew on this and get more information.
00:01:30.600
Today's podcast was really, really important, really good.
00:01:35.020
There's stuff about radio that I know you think this may not matter to you, but it does.
00:01:42.300
There were several things, and Tennessee is another story that we talked about today.
00:01:47.800
There's a bill going on in Tennessee that is going to stop ESG, second most important.
00:01:54.020
It's voted on in committee, the banking committee, next week.
00:01:57.420
There's zero coverage of this in Tennessee, like no coverage of it.
00:02:02.640
So, there's no support from the populace, but you need to know about that.
00:02:07.980
Also, central bank, digital currency, this crazy thing from MSNBC.
00:02:16.000
There's a lot of really good stuff on this one today.
00:02:19.180
You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.
00:02:25.420
Stage is set for massive shortages of really important goods and services around the world.
00:02:30.100
You're already seeing it in things like medicine.
00:02:32.260
Have you ever had a hard time getting Augmentin?
00:02:40.840
In my lifetime, it was something that was really easy to get, always.
00:02:45.580
You go down and try to get Augmentin, many times you'll be told,
00:02:53.100
Jace Medical can make sure that you have the life-saving essential antibiotics,
00:02:58.060
five of them, and in your home so you don't have to worry if there's a shortage.
00:03:05.020
If you would like to have all of the life-saving medications
00:03:07.780
that you might be taking for blood pressure or heart or, you know, anti-seizure,
00:03:23.300
and you can get a year's worth of that medication in your home
00:03:40.320
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:59.560
I feel like part of my job is to inform you what direction are we going in
00:04:13.380
Let me give you a couple of stories here that are gravely, gravely concerning.
00:04:17.180
I told you last week the Soros Fund Management, run by billionaire George Soros
00:04:28.000
and his son, have now taken control or are on the verge of taking control of Odyssey.
00:04:36.280
Odyssey is the second largest radio broadcaster in America.
00:04:40.600
Only iHeartRadio owns more and thank God at this point iHeartMedia, iHeartRadio has the premier radio networks.
00:04:53.460
I've worked for this company in one way or another since 1989.
00:04:58.220
They are my partner with this broadcast and they have been always very, very supportive.
00:05:03.960
If it wasn't for my partners, Julie Talbot and Dan Meador and all of the people at iHeartMedia,
00:05:19.340
So iHeart is the only one right now not under attack and I'll tell you about this.
00:05:33.360
They filed for bankruptcy and now Soros is taking on the fund and they will be the largest shareholder once the bankruptcy proceedings conclude.
00:05:57.520
Now, Soros has already bought, what, last year, I think 50 radio stations that were all Spanish-speaking.
00:06:08.920
Now he's buying up the second largest broadcaster in America.
00:06:15.320
Odyssey owns 220 stations, News Talk in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, all of some of the biggest News Talk stations in the country.
00:06:30.320
They own the radio stations, including KDWNAM in Las Vegas, PHT, Philadelphia, KDKA in Pittsburgh.
00:06:50.260
And George Soros has spent more than $21 billion over the last few decades.
00:07:02.520
Most of that cash went to left-wing causes, including Media Matters, Planned Parenthood, the Sunrise Movement.
00:07:09.820
He's the guy who has put in the radical DAs and the radical attorney generals.
00:07:49.680
So that is the second largest broadcaster, now going to George Soros.
00:08:07.560
First, Cumulus is facing a takeover from an investor based in Singapore.
00:08:15.200
Part of the process of their bankruptcy, it has asked for and received from the FCC permission
00:08:29.580
So the third largest broadcaster is about to go to a Singapore holdings company.
00:08:53.720
Yesterday, Brendan Carr, he's an FCC commissioner, he came out and said the FCC has just ordered
00:09:02.020
every broadcaster to start posting a race and gender scorecard that breaks down the demographics
00:09:10.840
Activists lobbied for this because they want to see businesses pressured into hiring people
00:09:19.140
Courts have already overturned the FCC twice for pressuring broadcasters into making hiring
00:09:34.360
If the Supreme Court doesn't stop them again, we will now, if I want to be on radio, have
00:09:43.080
to disclose, by the way, I don't have a problem doing this.
00:09:59.720
We have to start hiring based on gender and everything else.
00:10:21.140
Can you bring something different that I don't bring to the table?
00:10:27.200
Can you fit what your different thinking is into what I'm trying to accomplish?
00:10:40.800
Most of the people that I work with, and I apologize for this, spend their life working
00:11:05.080
Vice Media stops publishing on vice.com, slashes hundreds of jobs amid mainstream media death
00:11:12.900
So, all of these mainstream media companies, they're all...
00:11:40.900
I don't agree with her all the time, but she's an actual journalist.
00:11:50.180
Now, they're saying that's because, you know, we've laid lots of people off recently.
00:12:05.000
Or maybe a real journalist just isn't welcome there anymore.
00:12:12.280
But everything, all of the media, what I said to Stu, and when we were at the height of Fox,
00:12:26.000
So, this whole thing is going to burn itself down.
00:12:31.600
But as I said at the time as well, if you're here while it collapses and you survive, you'll then be working for the government.
00:12:44.880
They'll get bailed out by the federal government.
00:12:49.780
It goes back to your Cloward and Piven stuff from yesterday.
00:12:53.400
If you go to your Blaze TV account, you can watch it on demand.
00:12:56.720
But it's one of those situations where, like, you know, Vice is a great example of this.
00:13:02.760
I mean, Vice, how many articles did Vice write about how your career and life was collapsing?
00:13:11.840
And all these companies that have been writing for years about how conservative media personalities were going to flame out
00:13:17.540
and, you know, their businesses were going to collapse are now all gone.
00:13:21.860
They're just, you know, they've all either dissolved or fired all their people and AI is writing their articles.
00:13:27.460
I mean, it is, sure, satisfying for me, but it is embarrassing for them, I would assume.
00:13:39.900
Maybe they're all just, they've all moved on and they're all just taking money from the government and living at home now,
00:13:46.000
but, or working from home now, but I don't know.
00:13:48.580
It doesn't seem like they are able to keep any of these things afloat, despite, I mean,
00:13:52.340
how much money did Vice get billions and billions of dollars of just free investment cash dumped into that place?
00:14:03.800
Imagine if we had, if we would have had a hundred, a hundred million, just, just a hundred million compared to the billions that they had.
00:14:14.500
Just a hundred million in, 50 million in investment.
00:14:19.100
Can you imagine what we could have done with it?
00:14:26.100
I mean, and this is also while they're producing shows for HBO.
00:14:30.600
I mean, they were handed a media empire with, let's be honest, no valid reason to be handed a media empire.
00:14:40.460
I mean, like Vice did some interesting stuff early on.
00:14:45.060
And then they just turn into the typical left-wing news source.
00:14:50.940
And we were supposed to sit here and be like, oh, wow, this is amazing.
00:15:00.980
We sat there for, I don't know how many meetings I sat with, with big, big, big companies that were trying to figure out how we were doing it.
00:15:09.800
And at the time we were doing it more right than anybody else.
00:15:14.920
And we had no margin of error because it was all on me.
00:15:20.380
And they were trying to figure out, you know, what do we do?
00:15:24.940
And I remember sitting in meetings going, your numbers don't make sense.
00:15:33.540
But I can look at this and you're selling what for what?
00:15:42.860
Now all that hype is over and it's all falling apart.
00:15:50.760
You know, I just said recently, it's been quiet on the Western front.
00:15:56.300
It's been all quiet for quite some time in talk radio.
00:16:05.600
But on talk radio, haven't had a single problem.
00:16:19.500
They're just going to take it in public-private partnerships.
00:16:23.220
And the left, because our billionaires do nothing.
00:16:27.880
Honest to God, our billionaires who believe in America, the only one that I know that is
00:16:33.400
actually putting his money where his mouth is, is Donald Trump.
00:16:40.620
There's some of these guys that are very active.
00:17:17.260
I want you to support your local radio station.
00:17:31.240
I'm not asking you to buy something you don't need.
00:17:32.900
If you hear somebody advertising something, you're like, okay, I need that, or I'm looking for that, please go to that store or whatever.
00:17:48.980
You've got to have a local radio station that is not controlled by the Borg.
00:17:56.440
We thank our sponsors, and we thank our local radio stations, our affiliates.
00:18:08.200
I've met people who have lived with debilitating pain.
00:18:13.980
I've met people who have turned to Relief Factor and it worked for.
00:18:21.860
Just the ability to take a walk, shoot a round of golf every now and then, play with your grandkids the way you want to.
00:18:31.200
I mean, you don't realize how valuable that is until you lose it.
00:18:34.460
Many people I have met have had their lives changed by Relief Factor.
00:18:40.960
It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain.
00:18:51.520
It's a supplement, and it helps your body keep out of inflammation.
00:18:59.360
See how Relief Factor can help you with their three-week quick start kit.
00:19:02.360
$19.95 comes with a feel-better or your money-back guarantee.
00:19:16.380
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:20.660
We've been telling you about ESG for a while now.
00:19:23.680
There are 15 states that have now passed laws targeting ESG in one form or another.
00:19:32.740
In Florida, Ron DeSantis and Bob Romilly, state rep, put together the toughest anti-ESG bill in America,
00:19:43.560
Among other things, it bans banks from using ESG social credit scores to discriminate against its customers.
00:19:50.600
And that's one of the biggest tools used by the Great Reset elites to fundamentally transform us.
00:20:08.100
Are you in the school board fighting for or against things like critical race theory and DEI?
00:20:22.620
If it doesn't hit certain places, then they don't give you a loan.
00:20:29.060
There is another one that's coming out that may be the best one out, and it's coming from Tennessee,
00:20:41.540
He's just put together an ESG bill that has the potential to be the strongest or the second strongest law in the country.
00:20:50.100
It's a really good law, and it goes up in committee on Tuesday.
00:21:05.120
So tell me about the bill and the battle for passing this thing.
00:21:16.300
We took the first ESG step with the treasurer of our state.
00:21:19.600
Thankfully, we have one of the best treasurers in the country, very conservative.
00:21:22.800
He and I began to discuss ESG and the problems that we were seeing with BlackRock in the state of Tennessee.
00:21:29.680
We divested ourselves from all the BlackRock investments.
00:21:34.160
He said, I'm never going to allow these standards to be utilized,
00:21:37.240
but we have to take legislative steps to ensure those behind me don't take those steps.
00:21:41.440
So last year, I was able to pass a bill with our Senate Majority Leader, Jack Johnson,
00:21:45.580
to prohibit ESG standards from being used on the governmental state level.
00:21:50.220
And so, obviously, the next step, as you've talked about, was the fair access bill, which Florida has.
00:21:58.560
But, man, really, Glenn, the team at Wall Builders, Audria, Betty, Justin Haskins,
00:22:07.480
I literally have pages of resources here to be able to combat the pushback from the Tennessee Bankers Association,
00:22:16.280
But to your point, I feel like we have the home run.
00:22:22.680
It protects religious liberty of institutions, political views, whether you want a firearm.
00:22:30.160
And then we actually, versus just saying ESG, we actually list out the individual tenets of ESG
00:22:36.460
to ensure that the big banks cannot debank Tennesseans.
00:22:46.360
So we started out at the team at Alliance for Defending Freedom.
00:22:49.540
They've been working hand in hand with Wall Builders.
00:22:51.840
And so they came to us and said, listen, the Tennessee charter banks are not your problem.
00:23:06.760
So they suggested putting an amendment on that would that would there was one hundred
00:23:11.460
billion dollars that only hit the twenty eight largest banks in the country because
00:23:16.860
And so kind of thinking that that would back the Bankers Association off while the Bankers
00:23:20.620
Association represents the large banks as well.
00:23:23.540
And so they were in my office like last week pushing back saying they were uncomfortable
00:23:28.200
And Glenn, I just looked at him and said, listen, if you're uncomfortable with what's in
00:23:34.200
But if you guys aren't doing these things, then you won't have a problem because they
00:23:37.820
like to say in a conservative in a conservative state like Tennessee, they immediately say,
00:23:45.340
And then you've got these 15 different things they list out.
00:23:51.080
We have it's all we're supermajority in Tennessee, 75 Republicans in the House out of
00:23:59.940
We've only got one Democrat on the committee committee.
00:24:01.860
So I feel really confident wall builders and ADF have pulled some resources together.
00:24:06.840
A former Senator Brown back from Kansas is going to come in and testify ADF.
00:24:11.640
Some of the guys at wall builders are going to be there.
00:24:13.780
We've got an awesome team coming in because we've got this up in committee on Tuesday.
00:24:19.940
If it makes it through and it sounds like it will, then what's the next step?
00:24:23.380
When will this actually be in front of the the the legislature to vote?
00:24:29.680
And it's important for you, unlike Washington, that's the focus.
00:24:34.480
They don't go through committee and leadership makes decisions.
00:24:36.940
And most states like Tennessee, every bill is heard.
00:24:43.280
After it passes there, it would go to the full commerce committee, which is a much larger
00:24:51.640
But it's important for your listeners, especially your Tennesseans, to know they need to call
00:24:58.360
You don't need to worry about the full house right now because we've got a couple of weeks
00:25:02.200
But this next week, you call the banking committee and email them and say, hey, guys, we need
00:25:07.360
This is something we need to pass to protect us.
00:25:09.400
And then the following week, you need to call the Commerce Committee, Tennesseans do.
00:25:13.640
And then three weeks from now, that's when you start emailing the whole house.
00:25:20.440
And so you focus on one committee at a time because that's the most important.
00:25:25.420
And Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, he's been right with me on this.
00:25:31.000
And then hopefully in probably four weeks or so, we could have this before the governor
00:25:36.060
Are you getting any coverage in the state on this?
00:25:42.900
I mean, really, man, you are truly, and I'm not just saying it because I'm on with you.
00:25:47.000
I literally, no lie, I was driving to the Capitol the morning you were talking about
00:25:55.360
And that bill happened to be in my committee the next day.
00:26:00.740
Man, we got that bill stopped because of what, and I'm serious, because of the
00:26:07.780
I told Sarah, who was emailing me yesterday, man, I've read The Great Reset twice, your
00:26:13.320
discussions on ESG, the resources that you mentioned with Justin and the wall builders.
00:26:18.800
I just started reaching out and engaging them, Audrea at wall builders.
00:26:22.120
The resources that you've provided have been phenomenal.
00:26:25.900
But man, in conservative media, nobody else is talking about these things.
00:26:30.340
Like central bank digital currency shifting a little bit.
00:26:32.460
With the help of wall builders, I put an amendment on that UCC bill.
00:26:36.740
So if it were to pass, which I don't think it will, we've already gotten it rolled to
00:26:40.980
If it were to pass, I've got that on there to change the definition of a deposit account.
00:26:45.620
And again, you're the only person talking about it.
00:26:51.380
So if you're not getting any coverage, you don't have any backing.
00:26:58.920
If you are listening right now, you have got to get engaged.
00:27:08.540
It is potentially one of the strongest, top two strongest laws in the country on ESG.
00:27:15.520
And each individual state has to protect itself from this.
00:27:24.700
Don't think that they're not giving up on this.
00:27:35.800
This and CBDC, a central bank digital currency.
00:27:42.580
So the UCC bill, we got that rolled to the last calendar.
00:27:47.720
And as most people know, we're part-time legislators.
00:27:51.900
So we got it pushed to the last calendar, hoping the sponsor will take it off.
00:27:56.160
I mean, it's a cold breeze blowing in that committee right now just because there's so
00:28:00.700
But I have a standalone bill to change the definition of deposit accounts to make it very
00:28:07.260
difficult to implement a central bank digital currency.
00:28:09.460
Because what happens, the federal government can roll it out.
00:28:16.340
But like Florida's done in Alabama, North Dakota, we as Tennessee need to take that step
00:28:20.520
to ensure that it's not, that banks can't use it as collateral within their deposit accounts.
00:28:25.940
So then they push back on the federal government and say, listen, you can't implement this because
00:28:30.260
our 90 to 10 ratios, we can't maintain those if we can't count central bank digital currency
00:28:35.900
And so, I mean, man, again, these are all factors.
00:28:39.380
And it's some of those, all these things we're talking about are so critically important,
00:28:43.740
but most people just know it from a surface level and don't think much can be done.
00:28:48.640
But Glenn, I'm five terms in serving in the House.
00:28:53.800
And under Governor Haslam, who was our previous governor, Republican, he used to say that the
00:28:58.500
federal government had become an unreliable partner.
00:29:00.780
Well, over the last five years under Governor Lee, who's our current governor, man, they've
00:29:06.980
I mean, literally, Joe Biden has called Governor Lee twice asking to dump illegals in our state.
00:29:13.940
Everything that we do, the federal government is pushing back on us.
00:29:18.160
And so we were the first, we were the first state in the nation.
00:29:25.760
He signed off on it, and we have been able to save about $350 million a year with our
00:29:31.320
Medicaid program because we get to keep those shared savings.
00:29:34.500
But we're the only state that was able to do that because we got it under the gun.
00:29:37.900
And so, man, our conversation among our supermajority GOP has been we have to do everything we can
00:29:43.640
to firewall our state from these adversarial policies of the federal government.
00:29:49.440
It is a it's an honor and privilege to talk to you, Jason.
00:29:52.820
Thank you for everything that you guys are doing.
00:29:57.620
Man, truly, you have no idea what a valuable resource you are to citizen legislators like
00:30:07.200
And I literally listen to you on a daily basis.
00:30:10.720
And you inform and talk about things most people don't.
00:30:15.060
I mean, we as legislators, we talk about things you talk about on your show.
00:30:18.320
And what you talk about is impacting seven million Tennesseans.
00:30:24.100
But, man, please keep bringing these issues to the forefront.
00:30:29.580
But, man, this impacts the people I represent, every Tennessean, but people across the nation.
00:30:34.560
And we as red states, we've got to be bold in the steps we're taking.
00:30:38.880
And for most of us, like this ESG bill, man, this is common sense.
00:30:41.880
But these are the bold steps that we have to take to ensure that we preserve our way of
00:30:49.520
You know, when you're done with all of this, I would like to talk to you because, for instance,
00:30:57.660
And they are coming after all digital and now all radio.
00:31:02.140
What the FCC did yesterday, the sale to Soros of the second largest media company in America,
00:31:10.980
radio broadcast company, and the third largest is being sold to a company 100% in the Philippines.
00:31:34.940
And I'd love to talk to you about anything you can do.
00:31:37.460
The states have got to protect their local broadcasters.
00:31:42.700
And Glenn, I keep saying your team, the team at Wall Builders with David Barton and his
00:31:48.480
group, if there are any legislators across the country listening and they have not reached
00:31:53.160
out or talked to that team, call Andrea Decker over at Wall Builders.
00:31:59.880
I literally, I'm sitting in front, I'm sitting here now in my car with pages of documentation
00:32:05.220
of white papers that they've provided that allow me to make a case for ESG, but other
00:32:12.000
So if there are any legislators out there listening, they need to reach out to Wall Builders because
00:32:18.080
And again, those of us, I'm a part-time legislator.
00:32:20.660
We go from January to April and then we don't have session again to the following January.
00:32:25.580
We don't have the resources of like my Congressman Burchett, who's got just unlimited resources,
00:32:32.320
So man, please reach out to the team at Wall Builders if you're a legislator, because they
00:32:36.640
can help and equip you to be able to pass some of these big bills.
00:32:40.600
I am so pleased that we got ahold of you and you just let us know when you need people in
00:32:48.260
Hey, they need to please, I sent Sarah the link.
00:32:51.460
So if you guys, is there any way you could post that?
00:32:57.420
They can follow me on Twitter, Jason Zachary TN.
00:33:02.680
It'll show all the members of the banking committee.
00:33:08.240
And Glenn, too, it's important from a legislator's perspective for your users.
00:33:11.960
Don't send your listeners, don't send canned emails like our system weeds out, like people
00:33:17.960
will say, hey, sign up here and send your legislative email.
00:33:20.700
We don't get those auto emails, but just a personal email.
00:33:23.720
Hey, Rep Zachary, man, please, please pass this bill or please vote for this bill.
00:33:39.080
I'm going to post this, and if the social media could actually do it by zip so we can
00:33:45.860
go into the region and go right into Tennessee so we hyperserve them on this, and I'll post
00:33:52.040
this at glenbeck.com also on my social media today so you have that information.
00:34:00.520
OK, I want you to hear this clip from MSNBC as they're talking about Christian nationalism.
00:34:08.380
Remember when Trump ran in 2016, a lot of the mainline evangelicals wanted nothing to
00:34:14.160
do with the divorced, you know, real estate mogul who had cheated on his wife and with
00:34:21.540
So what happened was he was surrounded by this more extremist element.
00:34:26.640
You're going to hear words like Christian nationalism, like the new apostolic reformation.
00:34:31.860
These are groups that you should get very, very schooled on because they have a lot of...
00:34:45.600
You have to get to know them because they were around him in 2016, and they're very far
00:34:50.320
right, and they want a Christian nationalist nation, making it sound like some fascistic
00:35:01.440
What has changed other than the you, the media, which the media is...
00:35:07.100
You might as well just move it into, if you see it on mainstream media, you know it's coming
00:35:20.380
Why are they saying now that the same people that were around him in 2016 are extreme Christian
00:35:29.540
Because that designation will allow the Department of Homeland Security and FBI and NSA to spot
00:35:47.880
Actual Christian nationalism, which is not what they're talking about, is very small, and
00:36:05.100
But that's not what she's talking about, and I want you to listen to the rest of the clip.
00:36:11.040
And the one thing that unites all of them, because there's many different groups orbiting
00:36:14.120
Trump, but the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists, not Christians, by the way, because
00:36:19.960
Christian nationalists is very different, is that they believe that our rights as Americans,
00:36:24.620
as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority.
00:36:28.580
They don't come from Congress, they don't come from their Supreme Court, they come from
00:36:31.960
The problem with that is that they are determining, man, men, it is men, are determining what God
00:36:39.960
And in the past, that so-called natural law is, you know, it's a pillar of Catholicism,
00:36:46.460
It's been used for good in social justice campaigns.
00:36:49.080
Martin Luther King evoked it in talking about civil rights, but now you have an extremist
00:36:55.200
element of conservative Christians who say that this applies specifically to issues including
00:37:01.200
abortion, gay marriage, and it's going much further than that.
00:37:04.580
As you see, for instance, with the ruling in Alabama this week, that judge is connected
00:37:09.340
Have you ever heard something so crazy that all men are created equal and endowed by their
00:37:18.060
creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
00:37:30.660
Are you just making that up off the top of your head?
00:37:33.100
I'm just quoting, it's from an old dusty document.
00:37:35.260
Endowed by their creator with certain unchangeable, untouchable rights.
00:37:44.260
The reason why the founders wrote that is because they had a king who said, I create rights.
00:37:56.020
So, the founders settled on, you know, there are some things to nature's God, nature's law.
00:38:06.220
Now, nature's God, based on the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments and just the, you know, rule
00:38:13.260
of thumb, be good, be good to one another, love one another.
00:38:22.220
Based on those laws and the laws of nature, this is what we would call today, follow the science.
00:38:35.280
Those things where we get our general understanding of rights.
00:38:40.760
And if you don't have that understanding, that rights are not printed up, are not, they're just
00:38:50.640
not changeable by men, and they're not printed up by men.
00:38:55.320
If you understand that, you know then where the limits of government are.
00:39:10.100
We, those, that, the charter that we have for the government, it's all negative liberties.
00:39:24.980
They have a charter of negative liberties on the people.
00:39:31.080
No, the government doesn't give us these rights.
00:39:34.840
We're restraining the government because something is bigger than government.
00:39:44.040
And you can see how this might be a problem if you reverse this concept.
00:39:47.960
If you said, actually, all your rights are just gifts from government institutions and politicians.
00:39:55.980
What happens if you're a group that's out of favor with the government?
00:40:00.100
You'd think someone on the left would understand this.
00:40:03.400
That could, you know, it's why it could create some issues.
00:40:06.380
This is why they're doing it with Donald Trump.
00:40:08.960
They are taking away his right to a fair, free trial.
00:40:18.640
Now they're just taking away his right to have a business, to do business, because they want to.
00:40:28.480
There are certain things that our founders did that if we don't teach them, we don't understand them, we are going to lose the country.
00:40:41.680
This is why I've been saying, you know, what are we for?
00:40:58.900
But being you, everybody has the right to be you.
00:41:07.600
But you don't have a right to kill another person because they're not you.
00:41:22.020
You can't just scoop them up off the street because you disagree with them.
00:41:26.600
They have a right to say what they feel, just like you have a right to say what you feel.
00:41:33.560
They have a right to collect with their own groups of people.
00:41:43.100
Whatever rights you want, you better protect them for the people you don't like.
00:41:54.920
I don't agree with you, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it and believe it.
00:42:06.840
And when you look back at, you know, even the founding of this country, obviously, you point out, endowed by our creator, but with certain unalienable rights, which should prove it to almost anyone.
00:42:16.460
But you can go through the founding concepts of this country and find how it was designed with natural law in mind with almost no exception.
00:42:27.520
I mean, it's so fundamental to the country, let alone the misunderstanding going on here with Christianity, which is a whole different story.
00:42:35.180
But just that when you're talking about the country as a whole, every concept that we care about comes from natural law.
00:42:42.140
Everything from, you know, habeas corpus, you know, paying back someone you have wronged, that that concept is directly from natural law.
00:43:11.300
Oh, I don't want to use that necessarily in this example because they probably won't want to get rid of that one.
00:43:16.360
The right with talking about no taxation without representation.
00:43:24.740
These are some of them that they talked about, but they thought it was so obvious they didn't need to enumerate them.
00:43:39.320
But because we want to be decent human beings, we have to tell you what we're going to do, why we need to break up with you.
00:43:47.020
And that's because we hold these things self-evident.
00:43:51.740
OK, we don't want to war with you, but you won't listen to us because we're different.
00:43:59.480
We believe you believe that all rights come from you because you're appointed by God.
00:44:05.700
We don't think that we think every man is equal.
00:44:10.540
We're all created equal and we're all given certain rights.
00:44:15.340
You say as the king, only you have it or only parliament has it.
00:44:23.300
And they list life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
00:44:25.760
Then later, because they knew people were going to be so stupid and actually it was because they just didn't trust the government.
00:44:33.760
The state said when we sign this constitution, we need to outline, you know, some rights here.
00:44:40.920
So everybody is clear because there are certain unalienable rights.
00:44:44.960
There's there's hundreds of thousands of millions of them.
00:44:53.920
But they thought the really important ones ought to be written down.
00:44:57.840
But here are some of the things they were talking about.
00:45:00.060
The unalienable or natural rights, meaning unalienable just means you can't take this right away.
00:45:07.380
No man can change it because it is part of nature.
00:45:10.900
The right of self-government, which means you have a right to vote.
00:45:31.460
You can't tell me as a government what to believe.
00:45:54.820
This is why the thing with Elon Musk is so horrific because he's being told he made a deal with his company and everybody said he'll never make it.
00:46:08.680
He's a sucker for taking it because he'll never, ever be able to accomplish it.
00:46:15.100
And then the federal government steps in and says, that's an unfair deal.
