00:00:00 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:00:06 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,
00:00:10 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:00:15 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:00:20 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:00:25 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.
00:00:30 It is our last day in England and may actually be forevermore my last day in England.
00:00:37 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 So be it.
00:00:52 Because if what I have to say tomorrow can't be said in England, England's already been lost.
00:00:59 join us for the podcast today lots of great stuff on the full podcast today but also join me tomorrow
00:01:06 at glennbeck.com slash torch that's saturday the coverage will begin at 9 a.m eastern i'll speak

00:01:19 shortened version of today's podcast all the best let me tell you about relief factor what
00:01:25 if i told you it's not only possible to get rid of the pain that you've been living with um but
00:01:31 potentially you could go back to feeling the way you used to back when you didn't have to check in
00:01:36 with your body before you you know before everything you did you just you just make sure
00:01:40 that you know it's not going to betray you and then do it used to suffer from horrible pain in
00:01:45 my hands all the time um i've said this before one of the most emasculating things a man has ever
00:01:52 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 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 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 me. Thank you, Relief Factor. Changed my life. If you would like to give this a try, try it for
00:02:19 three weeks. It was developed by doctors to cut down on inflammation, which is where most of the
00:02:24 pain starts. Just call Relief Factor now. Try it for three weeks. 800-4-RELIEF. 800-4-RELIEF

00:03:17 And thanks for standing with us.
00:03:18 Now let's get to work.
00:03:28 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:32 Peter McLevin is with us.
00:03:34 He is the host of Hearts of Oak, which is a U.S., a U.K.-based freedom of speech alliance.
00:03:41 he's had 300 different people on 800 different shows his articles are on news mac and max and
00:03:47 daily signal washington times federalist um he is also the guy who has served as the chief of staff
00:03:53 to lord pearson i don't know who lord pearson is except he is the last person left that was
00:04:01 appointed by margaret thatcher right yeah 1990 what is that what is that like that's a different
00:04:06 era. She actually
00:04:09 wanted him to be her education secretary
00:04:11 and she appointed him
00:04:12 because of his work in the insurance industry
00:04:14 actually getting rid of
00:04:16 some fraud which was in Lloyds of London
00:04:18 and she wanted him to actually
00:04:20 be education secretary and then she got stabbed
00:04:22 in the back months later and
00:04:24 the rest is history. Wow, it would have been
00:04:26 nice to have somebody take care of education 0.99
00:04:28 the way they've destroyed her. 1.00
00:04:31 Nobody likes her
00:04:32 and you almost took
00:04:34 down the statue of Winston Churchill
00:04:36 it's crazy you ask people in this country in england who winston churchill is i don't know
00:04:43 how is that possible well we i mean big winston churchill statue right in the center of parliament
00:04:49 and yet kids actually connect churchill to an insurance company because we have a car insurance
00:04:54 company called churchill oh my god kids actually think the name churchill represents car insurance
00:04:59 and not the great wartime leader that saved the west from being overrun by the nazis so so peter
00:05:05 I wanted you on because I want people to see where England is now.
00:05:10 America will be if we don't continue down the road we're on.
00:05:15 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 If we don't get that, we're going to be back here with a vengeance.
00:05:30 We'll be right behind you with a vengeance.
00:05:32 It will come back.
00:05:33 and you guys are in deep deep trouble I mean I know I'm preaching to the choir here
00:05:40 you're from Northern Ireland is it true I have seen videos where they say the Irish are not
00:05:48 in the cities anymore it's they're out in the countryside but it's not Ireland anymore
00:05:53 it's not and when you look at Ireland I grew up in Northern Ireland also grew up in the Republic
00:05:59 in Dublin and Limerick and you go further west from the capital from Dublin and it becomes more
00:06:06 Irish so Dublin is a international city it's not Irish at all similar to London London has lost
00:06:12 when I came to London 24 years ago I thought I was coming to England I this is not England in
00:06:18 any shape or form it's everything but any sense of Englishness and Dublin has actually had the
00:06:24 same transformation I first noticed it 20 years ago I remember being in Dublin and walking
00:06:29 one of the high streets and just thinking I haven't actually heard English for a while
00:06:35 it wasn't a criticism it was an observation and then you start looking into actually the change
00:06:40 and Ireland's had huge change the waves of immigration a lot of it is actually the house
00:06:45 building I remember looking back 25 years ago and the rate of house building in Ireland was 10 times
00:06:51 the rate of the United Kingdom per head of population and a lot of that was going to
00:06:56 international so the whole country was being changed through that but also mass immigration
00:07:02 and you now go the further west you go the more Irish it is you still got those Irish speaking
00:07:07 areas on the west coast on the Atlantic Way but the closer you get to Dublin all the Irish
00:07:13 traditions the sense of Irishness that tens of millions not hundreds of millions of people
00:07:19 around the world have a connection to that's gone I have to tell you I went to Catholic
00:07:24 I went to Catholic school, Father O'Brien, Sister Siobhan.
00:07:27 I mean, it was Irish, Irish, Irish.
00:07:30 The churches are gone.
00:07:33 Explain that.
00:07:34 How does that happen this fast?
00:07:37 So Ireland is an interesting test case,
00:07:40 going from probably the most staunchly Christian Catholic country
00:07:45 to now the most liberal country.
00:07:46 What happened on the abortion laws is unbelievable. 0.91
00:07:49 The rush to same-sex marriage is so quick, 0.76
00:07:51 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 Instead of saying, this is happening in parts of church, we need to address it, the church was decimated. 0.82
00:08:10 Imagine you took that to the grooming gangs happening in Islam today. 0.94
00:08:14 But of course, they say, that's just a few bad apples. 1.00
00:08:18 It's not Islam as such.
00:08:19 so how can you attack the church for a number of individuals and yet don't take the same
00:08:26 perspective and understanding to another ideology but that was it was a concerted attack on the
00:08:32 church destroying the church's role as a guiding light for our society to now being dismissed and
00:08:39 ridiculed and rejected so is there is this a christian country anymore great britain is there
00:08:47 is is christianity alive here anymore because honestly i have heard from the what is it the
00:08:53 archbishop of canterbury and it's like i i mean that what is that canterbury tales more than the
00:09:00 bible you you have to go back we've had elements where we've seen christianity disappear in the
00:09:07 country and the last stronghold i think was queen elizabeth ii who was a strong christian
00:09:13 and for 70 plus years she would talk about her faith in a gentle very very english way yeah
00:09:19 never not wearing your faith on your sleeve but in a gentle way but she would always say that
00:09:24 she was a christian and it was because of jesus and she would talk about it now her death has
00:09:30 meant king charles comes in and so we now have no head of state who follows the bible the same in
00:09:38 the church the church of england is an apostate church utterly collapsed has adopted every woke
00:09:43 ideology from the world wanting to be liked instead of being a voice of reason and so the
00:09:48 church of england has gone if you look at parliament westminster the members of parliament
00:09:53 politicians i don't think any of them anymore on either the front benches and the government or
00:09:59 the opposition talk about faith talk about going to church i don't know when i actually last heard
00:10:04 a member of parliament talk about going to church on Sunday and what they learned. I mean, in the
00:10:10 US, it's kind of the norm. In some parts, yeah. Yeah, where you talk about your faith because
00:10:15 that's important, that defines you, that makes you who you are, that's your worldview. In the UK,
00:10:19 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 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 has replaced truth with this a dogma of doubt it doesn't know what it believes and it celebrates
00:10:38 this confusion instead of saying you know jesus i am the way the truth of the life you could
00:10:44 absolute certainty there and then the church takes and says you know we can't be so certain we can't
00:10:49 we need to re-evaluate these stories and contextualize them and look at them today and
00:10:53 and all of that means the church is seen as weak and actually the flip side the danger is 0.87
00:10:58 we are seeing young people, we are seeing a silent revival amongst Gen Zers, yes, we are seeing that, 0.79
00:11:05 but the other side is we are seeing Islam encroaching, because Islam offers itself as 0.96
00:11:10 confident, as bold, as knowing what it believes, and everyone wants, everyone wants to believe
00:11:17 something, everyone wants to hold something, everyone wants a sense of identity. It's Nietzsche,
00:11:21 you will serve God, be careful, kill the God and be very careful, because another God's going to
00:11:27 appear and you will follow it and the vacuum hasn't stayed there and into that vacuum's going 0.98
00:11:31 islam and islam presents itself as dominant and gives in um an identity and i think that's the 0.98
00:11:37 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 the nation and therefore what is it that makes britain british or english englishness what is
00:11:49 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 we are? And that's the next essential question, and we don't really know how to answer it.
00:11:59 How would you answer that?
00:12:01 Again, it is based on Christianity. It is based on 1,400, 1,500 years of Christianity in this
00:12:09 country. And you can look at the rises and falls of acceptance of that, but that has always been
00:12:16 the bedrock of our society.
00:12:17 I tell you, I was walking through with you, parliament buildings today.
00:12:21 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 absolute atheists compared to what's happening in parliament it's everywhere and yet there's
00:12:37 not a word spoken i know but that image we saw of moses getting the 10 commandments it is there
00:12:44 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 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 representatives but all other law givers uh and then over the supreme court is moses and the ten
00:13:02 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 saw today yeah it was everywhere and doesn't seem to be recognized by anybody do you do what because
00:13:19 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 london talking about beheading all the jews uh what is what is if this doesn't work if this
00:13:32 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 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 collapse further and further i mean we we were the british empire for over 200 years we ruled 0.88
00:13:52 a fifth or sixth of the world population now i've got keir stormer and look how the mighty have
00:13:57 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 warning to america in your 250th year that just because you've had 250 years doesn't mean you're
00:14:06 guaranteed tomorrow or the day after and unless we change course we we are actually seeing some
00:14:13 kind of revival with um christians coming from abroad especially from africa and asia and i think
00:14:20 we are maybe reaping some of the benefits of the missionary work that happened out of the uk to the
00:14:26 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 church and people from all over the world and they're coming to the uk and they're passionate
00:14:36 about their faith and maybe they can um ignite the indigenous brits they are going to be the
00:14:43 ones that will be able to explain sharia law to people who have never lived under it because they
00:14:47 have and it's most likely why they're here because people are getting killed yeah all over africa 1.00
00:14:53 yeah the amount of nigerians i know in my church shall be with load of them tomorrow and exactly 0.99
00:14:58 they're aware of what's happening they are so aware they talk to family members especially in 0.98
00:15:03 the north of nigeria and they hear what happens and they are it is a warning to us but but sadly
00:15:12 i think in england the uk i think probably in the us you kind of think well that's somewhere else
00:15:16 that wouldn't happen here surely wouldn't happen here that's in a country that may be different
00:15:21 laws and maybe a bit more back backward but no if it happens there to human beings it can happen
00:15:26 here and it's just a lack of authority and government and yeah it's why i'm afraid of
00:15:31 of what's happening in the united states and especially texas i mean i'm going next week i'm
00:15:36 taking a vacation and i'm going to hungary and czechoslovakia and austria and uh you know
00:15:43 especially hungary and czechoslovakia they're not having a problem with this you know they're wide
00:15:48 awake because they just experienced it and they're like no no we're not going down that road with you
00:15:53 this is insane what are you doing it's it's the countries like yours and mine that have never
00:15:59 experienced this and i mean you guys have an actual communist party that is that has representation 0.57
00:16:06 in parliament i don't know how you fought the soviet union for so long and you let communists
00:16:11 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 but we're right behind you no you are and and you have protections your constitution we don't have
00:16:23 but yeah you look at your right you go from the east of europe and you realize they they remember
00:16:29 the tyranny that they were under under communism they realized what they had to fight for even
00:16:34 something like bulgaria 500 years under the turks under the ottoman empire i mean there is a long
00:16:39 history of opposition and they kept their history their heritage their traditions and pushed back
00:16:45 we in the west we have become weak we have completely forgotten the first world war the
00:16:50 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 thought that a belief in our self-importance that we have waned and waned in terms of military power
00:17:04 economic power and spiritual might that's completely gone i mean if you look back in the
00:17:09 second world war c.s lewis used to do the weekly radio shows on the bbc giving hope to the nation
00:17:15 imagine that happening on the bbc never happened never happened they might run something and mock
00:17:21 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 I know you were with us on our
00:17:28 Explosing the Islamist Blueprint 1.00
00:17:30 and Conquering the West, and thank you for all the work 1.00
00:17:32 you do. Thank you. Appreciate it. God bless you.
00:17:34 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program,
00:17:36 and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:38 So I was looking forward to seeing you
00:17:40 tomorrow, Ezra, but you've been
00:17:42 banned, and you are
00:17:44 a Canadian. You're in the Commonwealth.
00:17:47 Yeah.
00:17:48 You're exactly right. I mean,
00:17:50 King Charles is the King of Canada
00:17:52 also, and I want to let you know
00:17:54 that a few years ago, the
00:17:56 late queen she had her diamond jubilee that was her 60th anniversary of being queen and i received
00:18:04 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 diamond jubilee medal for defending freedom of expression it's one of the most important and
00:18:17 meaningful mementos i have in my whole life and i i got that specifically because about 20 years ago
00:18:24 i published the danish cartoons of mohammed and i didn't bend the knee and i was very touched
00:18:29 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 but to have the prime minister of the united kingdom ban me a journalist i wasn't even scheduled
00:18:41 to speak i just want to go and and witness this and observe it and record it i've never done
00:18:46 anything illegal in my life i've never been even had a parking ticket in the uk when i go there
00:18:52 it's to do journalism and remember the uk is really where a lot of our freedoms were encoded
00:18:59 in the magna carta really they were the the crucible for free speech i'm shocked by what's
00:19:06 happening glenn your radio and you would be shut down within a week i'm sorry to say it
00:19:11 your first amendment in america is more important than almost anything else because with that
00:19:17 you can fight for all your other freedoms never give up your first amendment never never never
00:19:22 defend it in the first stitch so you'll be defending it as an i think as an outsider you
00:19:29 can probably explain it better than an insider you're from canada everyone says well you have
00:19:34 freedom of speech england has freedom of speech they have it's the same as america no the first
00:19:39 amendment is different explain how sure let me give you an example in the united kingdom according
00:19:45 to the times of london a very prestigious newspaper on any given day on average 30 people
00:19:52 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 don't arrest 30 people a day for word crimes china doesn't either it's it's crazy and and
00:20:07 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 immediately from a pub, from a street. That's an offense too. You can be arrested. I have a
00:20:21 number of friends who do nothing more than, you know, citizen journalism. They're arrested and
00:20:27 held overnight in jail, sometimes just to give them a good scare, to deter them. And they really
00:20:33 focus on particular issues that the government is afraid of. So this is not, they're not targeting
00:20:38 gangs or violent people. They're targeting people who criticize the government, especially on the
00:20:44 issue of mass immigration and the number one thing that they're scared about talking about 0.99
00:20:49 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 even hard to talk about those things well when people have a march or a rally against these 0.98
00:21:01 rapes the government goes into freak out mode because it challenges the entire multiculturalism
00:21:08 and immigration structure of the uk so never give up your free speech glenn because you can see it
00:21:13 in real time in the UK.
00:21:16 I want to play just a little bit
00:21:18 of what Keir Starmer,
00:21:20 the Prime Minister, said today,
00:21:22 the guy who just banned you,
00:21:23 what he said today in London
00:21:26 about tomorrow's rally.
00:21:28 And I want to get your reaction
00:21:29 to a couple of lines.
00:21:30 Go ahead and roll this, please.
00:21:31 Tomorrow's March in London
00:21:33 is a reminder of what we're up against
00:21:35 in the battle of our values.
00:21:37 The organizers, 0.66
00:21:39 including convicted thugs and racists, 0.91
00:21:42 are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple.
00:21:48 Their goal is to convince people
00:21:50 that Britain's problems are caused by those living alongside them.
00:21:54 But that is not the Britain that I know.
00:21:57 This is a country built on decency, fairness and respect.
00:22:01 A country that is at its best
00:22:04 when people from different backgrounds come together in common purpose.
00:22:08 This is our country.
00:22:10 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 So my government will not stand in the way of peaceful protest, but we will act decisively against hatred.
00:22:25 We will use the full force of the law when that hatred manifests as violence.
00:22:31 And we will ban those.
00:22:32 so ezra what does we will act decisively and use the full force of law what is he setting up for
00:22:40 tomorrow what is he expecting tomorrow that is to me that's bone chilling and and you'll notice
00:22:47 that he went and instructed the police even he was boasting about it they published photos and
00:22:53 video clips of him sitting down with the police chief and basically giving him orders we don't
00:22:59 know what the orders were and what was the police response to the orders in the united states and
00:23:04 even in canada and the uk policing is supposed to be politically independent you don't have
00:23:10 police running errands arrest this guy arrest that guy but sometimes that happens in a more
00:23:16 corrupt place in canada you might recall all the truckers had their bank accounts seized
00:23:21 because the government was embarrassed by the trucker convoy i think that keir starmer who was
00:23:27 the most unpopular prime minister ever recorded he just lost 1500 uh council seats in a massive
00:23:35 electoral wipeout i think he's trying to set up some event to manufacture some false flag events
00:23:43 some reichstag fire and this is not me speaking as a conspiracy theorist it's me observing
00:23:48 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 distract by demonizing and i'm not a racist nazi activist agitator i'm a citizen journalist who's
00:24:03 been to the uk more than 20 times he's lashing out he's trying to help tommy robinson as some
00:24:08 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 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 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 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 i've been praying about exactly what i should be saying yada yada um i knew exactly what i was
00:24:39 going to say um this has only made me more bold i've added stuff to my speech tomorrow um because
00:24:47 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 worried about it the whole time we've worried i mean i have more security with me this week than
00:25:03 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 thought i don't know what comes tomorrow i mean this is yes this is frightening you know it's
00:25:20 funny you say you have security and i think that's very wise for you to have security especially in
00:25:24 a big city where there's antifa and other people who might take a run at you but the problem at
00:25:31 this big march on tomorrow is not antifa it's the police themselves and of course private security
00:25:38 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 being transformed into a political force and even the courts tommy robinson is perpetually being
00:25:51 charged with nuisance lawfare not from private citizens but from the government itself recently
00:25:58 he was charged because he wouldn't give them the passcode for his iphone without a court order so
00:26:04 he was charged under the terrorism act if you can believe it now he was acquitted in that case but
00:26:10 do you see what i mean about lawfare they don't actually charge the real terrorists they use the
00:26:15 anti-terrorism laws to go after tommy so you've got 4 000 police that are being dispatched to
00:26:20 this rally you're going to be amazed with this rally if it's anything like the ones in the past
00:26:24 glenn it's mums and kids and grandmas and grandpas and veterans no no one wearing a mask no one
00:26:29 having hateful signs so much love and and yet that's the target of the prime minister's ire
00:26:37 whereas for weeks every week for two years every week there was a massive anti-semitic march
00:26:44 sometimes with a hundred thousand people and the police wouldn't even show themselves they
00:26:50 they didn't even want to antagonize the hamas supporters so this this is a two-tier justice
00:26:55 system and the united kingdom is two-tier in many ways now there's a sectarian divide if you
00:27:01 remember a generation ago there was some battles between protestants and catholics in northern
00:27:05 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 and it's not hateful to point out and talk about these things but there's there's definitely two
00:27:18 different standards of policing i have never been charged with a crime in my life and yet i'm banned
00:27:25 whereas hate preachers are welcome to roam around the uk at liberty get free there's a guy
00:27:32 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 he wants to behead all the jews and he's screaming at it at somebody it's absolute hate speech
00:27:44 nothing's going to happen to that guy nobody's reporting on that nothing nothing nothing is 0.99
00:27:48 going to happen you're listening to the best of the glenn beck podcast hear more of this interview
00:27:53 and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts welcome uh to a 16
00:28:00 year old high school sophomore from wiley texas he is the republican student club founder and he
00:28:07 testified to Congress on Sharia-free America. His name is Marco Hunter Lopez. Marco, how are you?
00:28:16 Great. How are you doing? It's great to talk to you. I tell you,
00:28:22 you're a much more impressive 16-year-old kid than I was. Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
00:28:29 We were not expecting that to go down, but he challenged me. He called me out by name,
00:28:33 so I took the fight.
00:28:35 I want to play a little bit.
00:28:36 Here's about a minute of you and Raskin.
00:28:40 Listen.
00:28:42 America proclaimed the separation of church and state.
00:28:46 What Thomas Jefferson described in his famous letter
00:28:49 to the Danbury Baptists as a wall of separation.
00:28:52 That was a letter, not a law.
00:28:54 Okay, so your position is that America is a theocracy?
00:28:59 You didn't let me finish my original statement,
00:29:01 And I understand you have limited time, but what I was going to say is I'm not suggesting
00:29:04 we need to go back to anything that's in writing, but what I am saying is we need to acknowledge
00:29:08 Oh, I think we should go back to something in writing.
00:29:10 I think we should go back to the First Amendment.
00:29:11 Oh, yes, the Constitution, obviously.
00:29:13 But what I'm saying is that, you know how I said original colonies were requiring declaration
00:29:18 of faith to run for office.
00:29:20 I'm not saying we have to go back to that.
00:29:21 That's why we have a First Amendment.
00:29:22 But what I'm saying is that we do need to acknowledge our Christian heritage. 1.00
00:29:27 Stop, stop, stop. 1.00
00:29:27 I can't take it anymore.
00:29:28 Here's a 65-year-old bully picking on a 16-year-old.
00:29:33 I mean, you want to talk about, what did they call that with the power dynamics?
00:29:38 You know, the reversal of the power dynamic and how that is just so offensive, the power dynamic here.
00:29:43 What about that?
00:29:45 I mean, it's just despicable.
00:29:46 If I were your dad, Marco, I would have been so pissed.
00:29:50 Anyway, you actually said in your testimony before this,
00:29:58 You, you said, um, the contrast with my own club could not be clear while Republican student club
00:30:06 faced denial, censorship, poster removal, and hostile oversight. An outside organization
00:30:11 was given easy access to distribute Sharia related materials directly to students.
00:30:17 Administrators not only allowed it, they actively promoted Islamic events. The principal has
00:30:23 enthusiastically participated in World Hijab Day two years in a row that we are aware of,
00:30:28 and when she wore a hijab and promoted it on social media, she stated,
00:30:31 I loved this experience. The district now offers halal meals, dedicated prayer room for Islamic
00:30:36 services, and placed the Quran in at least one middle school library while no Bible is offered.
00:30:43 Conservative and Christian student groups have never received comparable accommodation. I urge
00:30:49 this committee and lawmakers across the country to demand full investigations into these organizations
00:30:53 and reject any ideology or political system that is at odds with American law. Parents and students
00:31:01 deserve transparency and protection from ideological capture. What began as my effort to
00:31:06 start a simple conservative club have revealed how institutions can be compromised when we remain
00:31:11 silent. You are not asking for any kind of, you know, stifling of religion. What are you asking
00:31:19 for? I'm asking for a double standard not to be in place. I'm asking for equal treatment across
00:31:25 the board. You know, the left is the first people to claim that they're all for acceptance and all
00:31:29 for love. But once it's somebody that disagrees with them, they want to push you off to the side.
00:31:33 how did you feel on how raskin was treating you did you expect in the moment no i was not expecting
00:31:44 that to go down at all uh the funny thing is before i took off the flight my mom said promise
00:31:49 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 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 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 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 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 tried to start your republican club at your school tell me what you had what you went through
00:32:27 yes so on august 16th of 2024 we met all requirements to be a club we had 10 members
00:32:34 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 club because of political nature even though they approved the muslim student association and they
00:32:43 also approved another club that had gender affirming ideology in the curriculum so we
00:32:47 pointed that out and they said we still couldn't have it we asked for the district policy they
00:32:51 referenced after a month about a month of emails they came back and said it wasn't district policy
00:32:56 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 tell jamie raskin that because that that would be kind of important i thought he said he wanted
00:33:07 things written down there you go exactly and the funny thing is that we kept fighting for about a
00:33:14 month to gain access and once we were finally approved we were the only club that couldn't
00:33:18 have guest speakers the only club that couldn't have social media page the only club that couldn't
00:33:23 have posters and we had to keep fighting little mini battles and we won them when we finally got
00:33:28 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 friends were texting me that they were gone and the principals were taking down our posters because
00:33:37 they had an issue with the american flag on it i'd like to remind this audience that this happened
00:33:45 in texas texans you better wake up all texans that i know that grew up in texas they all say
00:33:54 the same thing ah it's texas it'll always be this way it is not going to be this way
00:33:58 it is not there is a massive influx of people coming from california and all over and there
00:34:03 is a concerted effort to change texas and to co-opt texas and make it deep deep blue
00:34:10 i'm telling you you're going to lose texas and when you lose texas you will lose the republic
00:34:17 wake up this story is in texas um your father you in your testimony you said my father even
00:34:24 had to help create a guest speaker form to protect me as a minor what does that mean
00:34:29 so um i had hosted after like i said we kept fighting those many battles to gain just simple
00:34:36 recognition that other clubs automatically had. Like I said, we weren't able to have guest speakers,
00:34:42 but we fought that battle and won it. Had two guest speakers, and the principal in the hallway
00:34:46 pulled me in the office with another assistant principal and was talking down to me, was cornering
00:34:50 me, and was saying that she was going to start putting new policies on the fly, on the day,
00:34:55 getting on to me about how I didn't know about a new policy that was going in effect that second.
00:34:59 And so my dad was not okay with that, so he reached out to the district, and he met with
00:35:03 district personnel to make a guest speaker form so nothing like that would happen again
00:35:07 you've got an amazing uh family i hope you appreciate your mom and dad
00:35:14 marco i wanted to get you on because i thought i thought you um you handled yourself really
00:35:19 really well and i remember the last time i had somebody your age on literally your age
00:35:25 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 turn the dryer off because it was making tumbling noises and my sister was um uh making noises on
00:35:39 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 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 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 i saw your uh i saw your story and i thought man this kid could be another ben shapiro this kid
00:36:04 could be another really smart voice in the future so i wanted to get you on i also wanted to offer
00:36:10 you a slot in our american journey experience we do a summer class uh for a couple of weeks
00:36:15 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 an exception for you
00:36:24 and get you in and
00:36:26 we'll teach you American history from
00:36:28 the American, the original documents
00:36:30 so you can have the strongest
00:36:32 case wherever you might go.
00:36:35 Wow, thank you so much.
00:36:38 You're welcome, Marco.
00:36:40 Best of luck. We'll be in touch.
00:36:42 Ricky, can you pass him on to JP
00:36:44 and see if we can make that exception?
00:36:46 If not, it'll be a couple of years
00:36:48 but I want you
00:36:50 in that class, Marco. Thank you so much.
00:36:52 God bless you.
00:36:53 Thank you.
00:36:54 You bet.
00:36:54 Bye-bye.
00:36:55 Say hi to your parents. 0.96
00:36:58 I saw that story yesterday with Jamie Raskin, and I thought, what a dirtbag. 0.82
00:37:05 I mean, you can't even let you. 0.86
00:37:07 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 Acceptable. 0.91
00:37:18 It is.
00:37:18 It goes against.
00:37:19 You cannot have a parallel law system. That is absolutely true. And there is no First Amendment
00:37:26 protection for any religion that wants to have a parallel system of law. It doesn't exist. It
00:37:34 cannot exist. Do not buy in to the First Amendment argument on Sharia law. On being a Muslim, 0.99
00:37:42 absolutely First Amendment. Being an Islamist, it is not First Amendment. It is against the 1.00
00:37:49 Constitution. It is an overthrow of everything that we hold sacred and dear in our Constitution.
00:37:55 That is not a First Amendment right. But that's something we all need to learn and something that
00:38:03 has to be learned here, honestly, in England as well. Tommy Robinson is going to join me in about
00:38:09 an hour. He's got a rally that is happening here, supposed to be the biggest rally ever in the
00:38:13 streets of London we'll see they're doing everything they can to suppress it
00:38:18 and I was told that the reason why I was allowed in is because Tommy has not
00:38:23 announced his speakers this year so they went after the speakers that were here
00:38:29 the last time he did a rally and that's how they got the list of who wasn't
00:38:33 allowed to come in and I was told this morning that if I speak tomorrow I will
00:38:39 never be allowed to come into England again. And that almost took my breath away because I know
00:38:46 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 just a minute. But I urge you to watch the rally because what's happening here is going to happen
00:38:59 in America. So I urge you to watch this tomorrow. You can gain access to it at glenbeck.com slash
