00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:00:06.480 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:00:10.360 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:00:15.680 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:00:20.400 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:00:25.660 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:00:30.000 It is our last day in England and may actually be forevermore my last day in England.

00:00:37.520 I was told today that if I speak at the rally tomorrow, which will be heard on glenbeck.com slash torch tomorrow, right in front of Parliament, if I speak, it may be the last time I'm ever allowed to come to England.

00:00:51.360 So be it.

00:00:52.660 Because if what I have to say tomorrow can't be said in England, England's already been lost.

00:01:36.540 with your body before you you know before everything you did you just you just make sure

00:01:40.500 that you know it's not going to betray you and then do it used to suffer from horrible pain in

00:01:45.080 my hands all the time um i've said this before one of the most emasculating things a man has ever

00:01:52.620 have to do, and I did this every day for a while, was I'd wake up my wife early in the morning and

00:01:57.500 I'd ask her if she could, I almost cry every time I think about this, button my shirts or tie my

00:02:01.500 shoes. And it was, I just felt like I'm not a man at all. And Relief Factor took that all away from

00:02:09.060 me. Thank you, Relief Factor. Changed my life. If you would like to give this a try, try it for

00:03:18.900 Now let's get to work.

00:03:28.080 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:32.440 Peter McLevin is with us.

00:03:34.400 He is the host of Hearts of Oak, which is a U.S., a U.K.-based freedom of speech alliance.

00:03:41.780 he's had 300 different people on 800 different shows his articles are on news mac and max and

00:03:47.740 daily signal washington times federalist um he is also the guy who has served as the chief of staff

00:03:53.980 to lord pearson i don't know who lord pearson is except he is the last person left that was

00:04:01.620 appointed by margaret thatcher right yeah 1990 what is that what is that like that's a different

00:04:06.960 era. She actually

00:04:09.040 wanted him to be her education secretary

00:04:11.020 and she appointed him

00:04:12.660 because of his work in the insurance industry

00:04:14.820 actually getting rid of

00:04:16.900 some fraud which was in Lloyds of London

00:04:18.780 and she wanted him to actually

00:04:20.940 be education secretary and then she got stabbed

00:04:22.880 in the back months later and

00:04:24.900 the rest is history. Wow, it would have been

00:04:26.840 nice to have somebody take care of education 0.99

00:04:28.960 the way they've destroyed her. 1.00

00:04:31.620 Nobody likes her

00:04:32.860 and you almost took

00:04:34.940 down the statue of Winston Churchill

00:04:36.920 it's crazy you ask people in this country in england who winston churchill is i don't know

00:04:43.500 how is that possible well we i mean big winston churchill statue right in the center of parliament

00:04:49.280 and yet kids actually connect churchill to an insurance company because we have a car insurance

00:04:54.620 company called churchill oh my god kids actually think the name churchill represents car insurance

00:04:59.680 and not the great wartime leader that saved the west from being overrun by the nazis so so peter

00:05:05.900 I wanted you on because I want people to see where England is now.

00:05:10.300 America will be if we don't continue down the road we're on.

00:05:15.440 I'm telling you, if if we don't get a Marco Rubio or whoever is, you know, is running and is the candidate in line with what Donald Trump is doing right now.

00:05:25.600 If we don't get that, we're going to be back here with a vengeance.

00:05:30.240 We'll be right behind you with a vengeance.

00:05:32.700 It will come back.

00:05:33.800 and you guys are in deep deep trouble I mean I know I'm preaching to the choir here

00:05:40.960 you're from Northern Ireland is it true I have seen videos where they say the Irish are not

00:05:48.640 in the cities anymore it's they're out in the countryside but it's not Ireland anymore

00:05:53.900 it's not and when you look at Ireland I grew up in Northern Ireland also grew up in the Republic

00:05:59.880 in Dublin and Limerick and you go further west from the capital from Dublin and it becomes more

00:06:06.840 Irish so Dublin is a international city it's not Irish at all similar to London London has lost

00:06:12.900 when I came to London 24 years ago I thought I was coming to England I this is not England in

00:06:18.480 any shape or form it's everything but any sense of Englishness and Dublin has actually had the

00:06:24.420 same transformation I first noticed it 20 years ago I remember being in Dublin and walking

00:06:29.760 one of the high streets and just thinking I haven't actually heard English for a while

00:06:35.200 it wasn't a criticism it was an observation and then you start looking into actually the change

00:06:40.500 and Ireland's had huge change the waves of immigration a lot of it is actually the house

00:06:45.960 building I remember looking back 25 years ago and the rate of house building in Ireland was 10 times

00:06:51.480 the rate of the United Kingdom per head of population and a lot of that was going to

00:06:56.700 international so the whole country was being changed through that but also mass immigration

00:07:02.860 and you now go the further west you go the more Irish it is you still got those Irish speaking

00:07:07.760 areas on the west coast on the Atlantic Way but the closer you get to Dublin all the Irish

00:07:13.740 traditions the sense of Irishness that tens of millions not hundreds of millions of people

00:07:19.440 around the world have a connection to that's gone I have to tell you I went to Catholic

00:07:24.360 I went to Catholic school, Father O'Brien, Sister Siobhan.

00:07:27.380 I mean, it was Irish, Irish, Irish.

00:07:30.360 The churches are gone.

00:07:33.160 Explain that.

00:07:34.280 How does that happen this fast?

00:07:37.420 So Ireland is an interesting test case,

00:07:40.480 going from probably the most staunchly Christian Catholic country

00:07:45.520 to now the most liberal country.

00:07:46.940 What happened on the abortion laws is unbelievable. 0.91

00:07:49.880 The rush to same-sex marriage is so quick, 0.76

00:07:51.920 But the destruction of identity, and part of that was the sex scandals that were in the Catholic Church were then used to destroy any remnant of Christianity within the country. 0.57

00:08:04.820 Instead of saying, this is happening in parts of church, we need to address it, the church was decimated. 0.82

00:08:10.340 Imagine you took that to the grooming gangs happening in Islam today. 0.94

00:08:14.400 But of course, they say, that's just a few bad apples. 1.00

00:08:18.200 It's not Islam as such.

00:08:19.840 so how can you attack the church for a number of individuals and yet don't take the same

00:08:26.580 perspective and understanding to another ideology but that was it was a concerted attack on the

00:08:32.000 church destroying the church's role as a guiding light for our society to now being dismissed and

00:08:39.520 ridiculed and rejected so is there is this a christian country anymore great britain is there

00:08:47.360 is is christianity alive here anymore because honestly i have heard from the what is it the

00:08:53.940 archbishop of canterbury and it's like i i mean that what is that canterbury tales more than the

00:09:00.700 bible you you have to go back we've had elements where we've seen christianity disappear in the

00:09:07.040 country and the last stronghold i think was queen elizabeth ii who was a strong christian

00:09:13.240 and for 70 plus years she would talk about her faith in a gentle very very english way yeah

00:09:19.620 never not wearing your faith on your sleeve but in a gentle way but she would always say that

00:09:24.480 she was a christian and it was because of jesus and she would talk about it now her death has

00:09:30.620 meant king charles comes in and so we now have no head of state who follows the bible the same in

00:09:38.400 the church the church of england is an apostate church utterly collapsed has adopted every woke

00:09:43.640 ideology from the world wanting to be liked instead of being a voice of reason and so the

00:09:48.560 church of england has gone if you look at parliament westminster the members of parliament

00:09:53.540 politicians i don't think any of them anymore on either the front benches and the government or

00:09:59.020 the opposition talk about faith talk about going to church i don't know when i actually last heard

00:10:04.520 a member of parliament talk about going to church on Sunday and what they learned. I mean, in the

00:10:10.040 US, it's kind of the norm. In some parts, yeah. Yeah, where you talk about your faith because

00:10:15.060 that's important, that defines you, that makes you who you are, that's your worldview. In the UK,

00:10:19.740 it's a fear of being attacked by the media and being mocked because you claim to be a Christian 1.00

00:10:25.600 and that's so dumb and so last century. And so it is that attack. And I think the church 0.99

00:10:31.300 has replaced truth with this a dogma of doubt it doesn't know what it believes and it celebrates

00:10:38.480 this confusion instead of saying you know jesus i am the way the truth of the life you could

00:10:44.200 absolute certainty there and then the church takes and says you know we can't be so certain we can't

00:10:49.240 we need to re-evaluate these stories and contextualize them and look at them today and

00:10:53.320 and all of that means the church is seen as weak and actually the flip side the danger is 0.87

00:10:58.760 we are seeing young people, we are seeing a silent revival amongst Gen Zers, yes, we are seeing that, 0.79

00:11:05.820 but the other side is we are seeing Islam encroaching, because Islam offers itself as 0.96

00:11:10.600 confident, as bold, as knowing what it believes, and everyone wants, everyone wants to believe

00:11:17.740 something, everyone wants to hold something, everyone wants a sense of identity. It's Nietzsche,

00:11:21.800 you will serve God, be careful, kill the God and be very careful, because another God's going to

00:11:27.800 appear and you will follow it and the vacuum hasn't stayed there and into that vacuum's going 0.98

00:11:31.500 islam and islam presents itself as dominant and gives in um an identity and i think that's the 0.98

00:11:37.920 thing we're lacking as a nation we don't know our identity we we have ripped out christianity from 0.98

00:11:43.180 the nation and therefore what is it that makes britain british or english englishness what is

00:11:49.400 it is a cup of tea is it pomp and ceremony is it um the royal family what is it that makes us who

00:11:55.380 we are? And that's the next essential question, and we don't really know how to answer it.

00:11:59.500 How would you answer that?

00:12:01.840 Again, it is based on Christianity. It is based on 1,400, 1,500 years of Christianity in this

00:12:09.640 country. And you can look at the rises and falls of acceptance of that, but that has always been

00:12:16.120 the bedrock of our society.

00:12:17.440 I tell you, I was walking through with you, parliament buildings today.

00:12:21.560 jesus and god is everywhere on the wall i mean it's i mean you you go to washington we look like

00:12:30.540 absolute atheists compared to what's happening in parliament it's everywhere and yet there's

00:12:37.560 not a word spoken i know but that image we saw of moses getting the 10 commandments it is there

00:12:44.200 image and yet i'm sure you would have a debate about it in the u.s whether you know we can have

00:12:49.620 this mix we have it but we have it in there's a face of moses you know above the house of

00:12:55.840 representatives but all other law givers uh and then over the supreme court is moses and the ten

00:13:02.620 commandments and that one's still argued about it's not but it's not like it's not like what i

00:13:08.960 saw today yeah it was everywhere and doesn't seem to be recognized by anybody do you do what because

00:13:19.460 i mean tommy was just in he showed me a video of somebody just half an hour ago on the streets of

00:13:24.680 london talking about beheading all the jews uh what is what is if this doesn't work if this

00:13:32.240 doesn't turn around what does england look like in 10 years well and you're right we you're maybe 0.95

00:13:39.520 10 years behind us in terms of especially in terms of islamization but um what it means is we we 0.76

00:13:46.600 collapse further and further i mean we we were the british empire for over 200 years we ruled 0.88

00:13:52.920 a fifth or sixth of the world population now i've got keir stormer and look how the mighty have

00:13:57.480 fallen so it's it's kind of a warning to us that you should never rest back i think it's also a

00:14:02.440 warning to america in your 250th year that just because you've had 250 years doesn't mean you're

00:14:06.820 guaranteed tomorrow or the day after and unless we change course we we are actually seeing some

00:14:13.600 kind of revival with um christians coming from abroad especially from africa and asia and i think

00:14:20.380 we are maybe reaping some of the benefits of the missionary work that happened out of the uk to the

00:14:26.800 world i think we are now seeing some of that coming back i mean the church i go to is a majority black

00:14:31.740 church and people from all over the world and they're coming to the uk and they're passionate

00:14:36.400 about their faith and maybe they can um ignite the indigenous brits they are going to be the

00:14:43.640 ones that will be able to explain sharia law to people who have never lived under it because they

00:14:47.460 have and it's most likely why they're here because people are getting killed yeah all over africa 1.00

00:14:53.580 yeah the amount of nigerians i know in my church shall be with load of them tomorrow and exactly 0.99

00:14:58.220 they're aware of what's happening they are so aware they talk to family members especially in 0.98

00:15:03.520 the north of nigeria and they hear what happens and they are it is a warning to us but but sadly

00:15:12.120 i think in england the uk i think probably in the us you kind of think well that's somewhere else

00:15:16.580 that wouldn't happen here surely wouldn't happen here that's in a country that may be different

00:15:21.120 laws and maybe a bit more back backward but no if it happens there to human beings it can happen

00:15:26.540 here and it's just a lack of authority and government and yeah it's why i'm afraid of

00:15:31.520 of what's happening in the united states and especially texas i mean i'm going next week i'm

00:15:36.420 taking a vacation and i'm going to hungary and czechoslovakia and austria and uh you know

00:15:43.500 especially hungary and czechoslovakia they're not having a problem with this you know they're wide

00:15:48.380 awake because they just experienced it and they're like no no we're not going down that road with you

00:15:53.900 this is insane what are you doing it's it's the countries like yours and mine that have never

00:15:59.580 experienced this and i mean you guys have an actual communist party that is that has representation 0.57

00:16:06.220 in parliament i don't know how you fought the soviet union for so long and you let communists

00:16:11.880 in but you did i mean it's it's it's insane how we have both i mean you really have forgotten

00:16:17.700 but we're right behind you no you are and and you have protections your constitution we don't have

00:16:23.700 but yeah you look at your right you go from the east of europe and you realize they they remember

00:16:29.220 the tyranny that they were under under communism they realized what they had to fight for even

00:16:34.680 something like bulgaria 500 years under the turks under the ottoman empire i mean there is a long

00:16:39.920 history of opposition and they kept their history their heritage their traditions and pushed back

00:16:45.040 we in the west we have become weak we have completely forgotten the first world war the

00:16:50.840 second world war um and we now i think we're untouchable we're we're great um but as we have

00:16:57.280 thought that a belief in our self-importance that we have waned and waned in terms of military power

00:17:04.620 economic power and spiritual might that's completely gone i mean if you look back in the

00:17:09.680 second world war c.s lewis used to do the weekly radio shows on the bbc giving hope to the nation

00:17:15.480 imagine that happening on the bbc never happened never happened they might run something and mock

00:17:21.260 it they would not have him do it seriously uh it is so good to see you and thank you for all your

00:17:26.580 I know you were with us on our

00:17:28.400 Explosing the Islamist Blueprint 1.00

00:17:30.720 and Conquering the West, and thank you for all the work 1.00

00:17:32.760 you do. Thank you. Appreciate it. God bless you.

00:17:34.760 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program,

00:17:36.500 and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:17:38.740 So I was looking forward to seeing you

00:17:40.240 tomorrow, Ezra, but you've been

00:17:42.620 banned, and you are

00:17:44.700 a Canadian. You're in the Commonwealth.

00:17:47.880 Yeah.

00:17:48.720 You're exactly right. I mean,

00:17:50.340 King Charles is the King of Canada

00:17:52.480 also, and I want to let you know

00:17:54.540 that a few years ago, the

00:17:56.380 late queen she had her diamond jubilee that was her 60th anniversary of being queen and i received

00:18:04.080 a very special thing i don't have it right here at my desk but i received a medal the queen's

00:18:09.940 diamond jubilee medal for defending freedom of expression it's one of the most important and

00:18:17.200 meaningful mementos i have in my whole life and i i got that specifically because about 20 years ago

00:18:24.680 i published the danish cartoons of mohammed and i didn't bend the knee and i was very touched

00:18:29.000 to receive this medal and i don't wear the medal often i mean it's uh you know i just don't do that

00:18:34.300 but to have the prime minister of the united kingdom ban me a journalist i wasn't even scheduled

00:18:41.060 to speak i just want to go and and witness this and observe it and record it i've never done

00:18:46.780 anything illegal in my life i've never been even had a parking ticket in the uk when i go there

00:18:52.200 it's to do journalism and remember the uk is really where a lot of our freedoms were encoded

00:18:59.960 in the magna carta really they were the the crucible for free speech i'm shocked by what's

00:19:06.440 happening glenn your radio and you would be shut down within a week i'm sorry to say it

00:19:11.880 your first amendment in america is more important than almost anything else because with that

00:19:17.560 you can fight for all your other freedoms never give up your first amendment never never never

00:19:22.720 defend it in the first stitch so you'll be defending it as an i think as an outsider you

00:19:29.260 can probably explain it better than an insider you're from canada everyone says well you have

00:19:34.000 freedom of speech england has freedom of speech they have it's the same as america no the first

00:19:39.740 amendment is different explain how sure let me give you an example in the united kingdom according

00:19:45.920 to the times of london a very prestigious newspaper on any given day on average 30 people

00:19:52.140 are arrested for what they post on social media 30 a day i'm not a fan of russia but even they 0.50

00:19:59.400 don't arrest 30 people a day for word crimes china doesn't either it's it's crazy and and

00:20:07.980 there's all sorts of extreme orders they can give you a dispersal order and if you don't leave 0.63

00:20:14.660 immediately from a pub, from a street. That's an offense too. You can be arrested. I have a

00:20:21.840 number of friends who do nothing more than, you know, citizen journalism. They're arrested and

00:20:27.080 held overnight in jail, sometimes just to give them a good scare, to deter them. And they really

00:20:33.340 focus on particular issues that the government is afraid of. So this is not, they're not targeting

00:20:38.860 gangs or violent people. They're targeting people who criticize the government, especially on the

00:20:44.380 issue of mass immigration and the number one thing that they're scared about talking about 0.99

00:20:49.520 is the rape gangs of largely pakistani muslim men targeting white girls and i'm you can see it's 0.99

00:20:56.780 even hard to talk about those things well when people have a march or a rally against these 0.98

00:21:01.860 rapes the government goes into freak out mode because it challenges the entire multiculturalism

00:21:08.300 and immigration structure of the uk so never give up your free speech glenn because you can see it

00:21:13.860 in real time in the UK.

00:21:16.880 I want to play just a little bit

00:21:18.600 of what Keir Starmer,

00:21:20.100 the Prime Minister, said today,

00:21:22.380 the guy who just banned you,

00:21:23.920 what he said today in London

00:21:26.140 about tomorrow's rally.

00:21:28.100 And I want to get your reaction

00:21:29.100 to a couple of lines.

00:21:30.280 Go ahead and roll this, please.

00:21:31.800 Tomorrow's March in London

00:21:33.000 is a reminder of what we're up against

00:21:35.460 in the battle of our values.

00:21:37.820 The organizers, 0.66

00:21:39.580 including convicted thugs and racists, 0.91

00:21:42.300 are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple.

00:21:48.140 Their goal is to convince people

00:21:50.060 that Britain's problems are caused by those living alongside them.

00:21:54.140 But that is not the Britain that I know.

00:21:57.300 This is a country built on decency, fairness and respect.

00:22:01.860 A country that is at its best

00:22:04.120 when people from different backgrounds come together in common purpose.

00:22:08.540 This is our country.

00:22:10.140 With a majority who share those values, a majority who may not always be as loud, but must always define who we are.

00:22:18.460 So my government will not stand in the way of peaceful protest, but we will act decisively against hatred.

00:22:25.780 We will use the full force of the law when that hatred manifests as violence.

00:22:31.280 And we will ban those.

00:22:32.720 so ezra what does we will act decisively and use the full force of law what is he setting up for

00:22:40.860 tomorrow what is he expecting tomorrow that is to me that's bone chilling and and you'll notice

00:22:47.700 that he went and instructed the police even he was boasting about it they published photos and

00:22:53.880 video clips of him sitting down with the police chief and basically giving him orders we don't

00:22:59.640 know what the orders were and what was the police response to the orders in the united states and

00:23:04.920 even in canada and the uk policing is supposed to be politically independent you don't have

00:23:10.860 police running errands arrest this guy arrest that guy but sometimes that happens in a more

00:23:16.720 corrupt place in canada you might recall all the truckers had their bank accounts seized

00:23:21.400 because the government was embarrassed by the trucker convoy i think that keir starmer who was

00:23:27.340 the most unpopular prime minister ever recorded he just lost 1500 uh council seats in a massive

00:23:35.700 electoral wipeout i think he's trying to set up some event to manufacture some false flag events

00:23:43.460 some reichstag fire and this is not me speaking as a conspiracy theorist it's me observing

00:23:48.220 this is a man who has had more than 100 of his mps call for him to resign and he's trying to

00:23:55.620 distract by demonizing and i'm not a racist nazi activist agitator i'm a citizen journalist who's

00:24:03.040 been to the uk more than 20 times he's lashing out he's trying to help tommy robinson as some

00:24:08.620 ogre i don't think it's working but i'm scared of what he's up to glenn i will tell you ezra i heard

00:24:16.640 about this rally i don't know four i mean uh eight or ten weeks ago and i just immediately felt this

00:24:22.960 is history i want to be there just for history i wasn't even invited to speak at the time i just

00:24:26.360 wanted to go witness it for history um and then i was invited to speak um and as i got here and

00:24:34.000 i've been praying about exactly what i should be saying yada yada um i knew exactly what i was

00:24:39.580 going to say um this has only made me more bold i've added stuff to my speech tomorrow um because

00:24:47.700 i think they it must be said now um but i i find that absolutely bone shielding i i have i've

00:24:56.840 worried about it the whole time we've worried i mean i have more security with me this week than

00:25:03.160 i've had in years i mean i i mean it's crazy the amount of security um but uh when i heard that i

00:25:12.000 thought i don't know what comes tomorrow i mean this is yes this is frightening you know it's

00:25:20.380 funny you say you have security and i think that's very wise for you to have security especially in

00:25:24.940 a big city where there's antifa and other people who might take a run at you but the problem at

00:25:31.020 this big march on tomorrow is not antifa it's the police themselves and of course private security

00:25:38.160 will stand down in the face of police and that's the the scary part is in the uk the police are

00:25:45.480 being transformed into a political force and even the courts tommy robinson is perpetually being

00:25:51.420 charged with nuisance lawfare not from private citizens but from the government itself recently

00:25:58.020 he was charged because he wouldn't give them the passcode for his iphone without a court order so

00:26:04.240 he was charged under the terrorism act if you can believe it now he was acquitted in that case but

00:26:10.040 do you see what i mean about lawfare they don't actually charge the real terrorists they use the

00:26:15.100 anti-terrorism laws to go after tommy so you've got 4 000 police that are being dispatched to

00:26:20.540 this rally you're going to be amazed with this rally if it's anything like the ones in the past

00:26:24.160 glenn it's mums and kids and grandmas and grandpas and veterans no no one wearing a mask no one

00:26:29.940 having hateful signs so much love and and yet that's the target of the prime minister's ire

00:26:37.280 whereas for weeks every week for two years every week there was a massive anti-semitic march

00:26:44.120 sometimes with a hundred thousand people and the police wouldn't even show themselves they

00:26:50.080 they didn't even want to antagonize the hamas supporters so this this is a two-tier justice

00:26:55.480 system and the united kingdom is two-tier in many ways now there's a sectarian divide if you

00:27:01.240 remember a generation ago there was some battles between protestants and catholics in northern

00:27:05.740 ireland well now you're seeing a sectarian divide but it's islam that is one of the divisive issues 0.84

00:27:13.520 and it's not hateful to point out and talk about these things but there's there's definitely two

00:27:18.600 different standards of policing i have never been charged with a crime in my life and yet i'm banned

00:27:25.640 whereas hate preachers are welcome to roam around the uk at liberty get free there's a guy

00:27:32.660 two two two hours ago there was a guy on the streets of london the video is out of him saying 0.86

00:27:40.080 he wants to behead all the jews and he's screaming at it at somebody it's absolute hate speech

00:27:44.880 nothing's going to happen to that guy nobody's reporting on that nothing nothing nothing is 0.99

00:27:48.820 going to happen you're listening to the best of the glenn beck podcast hear more of this interview

00:27:53.860 and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts welcome uh to a 16

00:28:00.880 year old high school sophomore from wiley texas he is the republican student club founder and he

00:28:07.980 testified to Congress on Sharia-free America. His name is Marco Hunter Lopez. Marco, how are you?

00:28:16.780 Great. How are you doing? It's great to talk to you. I tell you,

00:28:22.020 you're a much more impressive 16-year-old kid than I was. Yes, sir. Thank you so much.

00:28:29.320 We were not expecting that to go down, but he challenged me. He called me out by name,

00:28:33.100 so I took the fight.

00:28:35.540 I want to play a little bit.

00:28:36.980 Here's about a minute of you and Raskin.

00:28:40.400 Listen.

00:28:42.420 America proclaimed the separation of church and state.

00:28:46.720 What Thomas Jefferson described in his famous letter

00:28:49.700 to the Danbury Baptists as a wall of separation.

00:28:52.860 That was a letter, not a law.

00:28:54.620 Okay, so your position is that America is a theocracy?

00:28:59.340 You didn't let me finish my original statement,

00:29:01.600 And I understand you have limited time, but what I was going to say is I'm not suggesting

00:29:04.880 we need to go back to anything that's in writing, but what I am saying is we need to acknowledge

00:29:08.480 Oh, I think we should go back to something in writing.

00:29:10.240 I think we should go back to the First Amendment.

00:29:11.700 Oh, yes, the Constitution, obviously.

00:29:13.560 But what I'm saying is that, you know how I said original colonies were requiring declaration

00:29:18.460 of faith to run for office.

00:29:20.560 I'm not saying we have to go back to that.

00:29:21.460 That's why we have a First Amendment.

00:29:22.520 But what I'm saying is that we do need to acknowledge our Christian heritage. 1.00

00:29:27.040 Stop, stop, stop. 1.00

00:29:27.240 I can't take it anymore.

00:29:28.120 Here's a 65-year-old bully picking on a 16-year-old.

00:29:33.760 I mean, you want to talk about, what did they call that with the power dynamics?

00:29:38.900 You know, the reversal of the power dynamic and how that is just so offensive, the power dynamic here.

00:29:43.680 What about that?

00:29:45.200 I mean, it's just despicable.

00:29:46.600 If I were your dad, Marco, I would have been so pissed.

00:29:50.300 Anyway, you actually said in your testimony before this,

00:29:58.120 You, you said, um, the contrast with my own club could not be clear while Republican student club

00:30:06.600 faced denial, censorship, poster removal, and hostile oversight. An outside organization

00:30:11.980 was given easy access to distribute Sharia related materials directly to students.

00:30:17.820 Administrators not only allowed it, they actively promoted Islamic events. The principal has

00:30:23.040 enthusiastically participated in World Hijab Day two years in a row that we are aware of,

00:30:28.420 and when she wore a hijab and promoted it on social media, she stated,

00:30:31.680 I loved this experience. The district now offers halal meals, dedicated prayer room for Islamic

00:30:36.960 services, and placed the Quran in at least one middle school library while no Bible is offered.

00:30:43.460 Conservative and Christian student groups have never received comparable accommodation. I urge

00:30:49.000 this committee and lawmakers across the country to demand full investigations into these organizations

00:30:53.680 and reject any ideology or political system that is at odds with American law. Parents and students

00:31:01.120 deserve transparency and protection from ideological capture. What began as my effort to

00:31:06.700 start a simple conservative club have revealed how institutions can be compromised when we remain

00:31:11.920 silent. You are not asking for any kind of, you know, stifling of religion. What are you asking

00:31:19.200 for? I'm asking for a double standard not to be in place. I'm asking for equal treatment across

00:31:25.260 the board. You know, the left is the first people to claim that they're all for acceptance and all

00:31:29.900 for love. But once it's somebody that disagrees with them, they want to push you off to the side.

00:31:33.380 how did you feel on how raskin was treating you did you expect in the moment no i was not expecting

00:31:44.080 that to go down at all uh the funny thing is before i took off the flight my mom said promise

00:31:49.200 me you're not going to go viral and you're not going to beat a democrat and i said i'm sorry

00:31:53.820 i can't make any promises i love your mom that's i think that's exactly what i would have said to

00:32:03.200 my kids i love yeah i love that so you know i was not expecting that to go down but he challenged

00:32:09.640 me i took the fight he wasn't ready for what i had uh all the knowledge i had for him so that's

00:32:14.240 why he kept trying to cut me off um but in the end i proved him wrong so so you were when you

00:32:22.520 tried to start your republican club at your school tell me what you had what you went through

00:32:27.440 yes so on august 16th of 2024 we met all requirements to be a club we had 10 members

00:32:34.680 we had a teacher sponsor and we had a room to meet they came and said that we can't have the

00:32:39.680 club because of political nature even though they approved the muslim student association and they

00:32:43.800 also approved another club that had gender affirming ideology in the curriculum so we

00:32:47.840 pointed that out and they said we still couldn't have it we asked for the district policy they

00:32:51.920 referenced after a month about a month of emails they came back and said it wasn't district policy

00:32:56.760 but just just the way they felt so that's what we were up against when we yeah and so did you

00:33:04.140 tell jamie raskin that because that that would be kind of important i thought he said he wanted

00:33:07.600 things written down there you go exactly and the funny thing is that we kept fighting for about a

00:33:14.200 month to gain access and once we were finally approved we were the only club that couldn't

00:33:18.540 have guest speakers the only club that couldn't have social media page the only club that couldn't

00:33:23.180 have posters and we had to keep fighting little mini battles and we won them when we finally got

00:33:28.600 the posters approved i put them up and i was out of town in florida for my sister's wedding and my

00:33:33.560 friends were texting me that they were gone and the principals were taking down our posters because

00:33:37.480 they had an issue with the american flag on it i'd like to remind this audience that this happened

00:33:45.160 in texas texans you better wake up all texans that i know that grew up in texas they all say

00:33:54.500 the same thing ah it's texas it'll always be this way it is not going to be this way

00:33:58.320 it is not there is a massive influx of people coming from california and all over and there

00:34:03.960 is a concerted effort to change texas and to co-opt texas and make it deep deep blue

00:34:10.980 i'm telling you you're going to lose texas and when you lose texas you will lose the republic

00:34:17.000 wake up this story is in texas um your father you in your testimony you said my father even

00:34:24.000 had to help create a guest speaker form to protect me as a minor what does that mean

00:34:29.820 so um i had hosted after like i said we kept fighting those many battles to gain just simple

00:34:36.920 recognition that other clubs automatically had. Like I said, we weren't able to have guest speakers,

00:34:42.740 but we fought that battle and won it. Had two guest speakers, and the principal in the hallway

00:34:46.660 pulled me in the office with another assistant principal and was talking down to me, was cornering

00:34:50.880 me, and was saying that she was going to start putting new policies on the fly, on the day,

00:34:55.700 getting on to me about how I didn't know about a new policy that was going in effect that second.

00:34:59.600 And so my dad was not okay with that, so he reached out to the district, and he met with

00:35:03.960 district personnel to make a guest speaker form so nothing like that would happen again

00:35:07.580 you've got an amazing uh family i hope you appreciate your mom and dad

00:35:14.060 marco i wanted to get you on because i thought i thought you um you handled yourself really

00:35:19.160 really well and i remember the last time i had somebody your age on literally your age

00:35:25.220 uh he did an interview from his house and he sat on his mom's washer and dryer he said i had to

00:35:32.860 turn the dryer off because it was making tumbling noises and my sister was um uh making noises on

00:35:39.940 the in the hallway and he said it was one of those old cord phones and he said i had dragged it in

00:35:45.280 and i was sitting on the washer and dryer and my sister kept bugging me and i'm like i'm on the

00:35:49.480 phone with glenn beck uh as he was waiting to come on with me that kid was ben shapiro and i i really

00:35:58.240 i saw your uh i saw your story and i thought man this kid could be another ben shapiro this kid

00:36:04.140 could be another really smart voice in the future so i wanted to get you on i also wanted to offer

00:36:10.300 you a slot in our american journey experience we do a summer class uh for a couple of weeks

00:36:15.740 uh it is really hard to get in um and it's for 18 year olds but i'd like to see if we can make

00:36:22.440 an exception for you

00:36:24.420 and get you in and

00:36:26.400 we'll teach you American history from

00:36:28.400 the American, the original documents

00:36:30.760 so you can have the strongest

00:36:32.360 case wherever you might go.

00:36:35.260 Wow, thank you so much.

00:36:38.820 You're welcome, Marco.

00:36:40.340 Best of luck. We'll be in touch.

00:36:42.580 Ricky, can you pass him on to JP

00:36:44.200 and see if we can make that exception?

00:36:46.160 If not, it'll be a couple of years

00:36:48.280 but I want you

00:36:50.320 in that class, Marco. Thank you so much.

00:36:52.440 God bless you.

00:36:53.800 Thank you.

00:36:54.460 You bet.

00:36:54.880 Bye-bye.

00:36:55.260 Say hi to your parents. 0.96

00:36:58.280 I saw that story yesterday with Jamie Raskin, and I thought, what a dirtbag. 0.82

00:37:05.440 I mean, you can't even let you. 0.86

00:37:07.880 I mean, first of all, you obviously didn't listen to his testimony because all he was saying, he wasn't saying anything about Sharia. 0.99

00:37:17.780 Acceptable. 0.91

00:37:18.480 It is.

00:37:18.940 It goes against.

00:37:19.840 You cannot have a parallel law system. That is absolutely true. And there is no First Amendment

00:37:26.240 protection for any religion that wants to have a parallel system of law. It doesn't exist. It

00:37:34.560 cannot exist. Do not buy in to the First Amendment argument on Sharia law. On being a Muslim, 0.99

00:37:42.460 absolutely First Amendment. Being an Islamist, it is not First Amendment. It is against the 1.00

00:37:49.320 Constitution. It is an overthrow of everything that we hold sacred and dear in our Constitution.

00:37:55.340 That is not a First Amendment right. But that's something we all need to learn and something that

00:38:03.800 has to be learned here, honestly, in England as well. Tommy Robinson is going to join me in about

00:38:09.480 an hour. He's got a rally that is happening here, supposed to be the biggest rally ever in the

00:38:13.900 streets of London we'll see they're doing everything they can to suppress it

00:38:18.020 and I was told that the reason why I was allowed in is because Tommy has not

00:38:23.680 announced his speakers this year so they went after the speakers that were here

00:38:29.400 the last time he did a rally and that's how they got the list of who wasn't

00:38:33.140 allowed to come in and I was told this morning that if I speak tomorrow I will

00:38:39.300 never be allowed to come into England again. And that almost took my breath away because I know

00:38:46.280 what I'm going to say. And I'm here for a reason. And I'm going to talk about that coming up in

00:38:52.940 just a minute. But I urge you to watch the rally because what's happening here is going to happen

00:38:59.140 in America. So I urge you to watch this tomorrow. You can gain access to it at glenbeck.com slash
