Coming to a conference today was really eye-opening to see that there's more people like Allie.
00:00:09.120
Being surrounded by women like this, it's an encouragement because I know that I'm not the only one.
00:00:14.200
We are women who need to be challenged in the Word of God, who are willing to swim upstream.
00:00:20.540
Join Allie Beth Stuckey for Share the Arrows in Dallas, Texas.
00:00:37.240
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:00:43.540
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:00:50.920
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:00:54.280
Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:08.280
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:01:19.300
You know, I think one of the biggest lies today is the rap that is given to, you know, 15 to 30 year olds.
00:01:28.360
They're all called lazy, self-centered, participation trophy generation.
00:01:33.180
You know, gosh, we're all going to be destroyed when they finally take over.
00:01:40.600
But that's not the majority, at least the ones I've met.
00:01:44.840
And today's guest gives me real hope that I'm right on this.
00:01:49.300
He saw a problem and he didn't wait around for someone else to fix it.
00:01:53.300
Instead, he inspired high school and college students across the nation to be the voice of freedom.
00:01:59.100
He's a guy who, when he was a kid, watched my show on television.
00:02:04.560
And by the time he's in high school and then in college, he wants to change the world.
00:02:11.240
He's somebody who President Trump has called a great warrior and is no stranger to leftist criticism.
00:02:17.660
He's been called every name in the book for daring to support free speech on college campuses while questioning affirmative action and white privilege.
00:02:25.580
He is the founder of an organization that was nowhere, didn't even exist just a few years ago.
00:02:34.480
It is the largest, most impressive and fastest growth youth movement in the country.
00:02:48.620
Recently, I was invited to speak at their fifth annual Student Action Summit.
00:02:54.740
Over 5,000 students attending on their own dime from all across the country and fired up about the truth of America.
00:03:03.680
But before I took the stage, my guest and I had an opportunity to sit down and we shared what we've gotten wrong, what our country must get right.
00:03:12.780
And the amazing things that happen when people work together and do it.
00:03:17.440
On this episode of the Glenn Beck podcast backstage with Charlie Kirk.
00:03:29.040
I was so excited to just hear all the women that have been on Allie's podcast.
00:03:39.380
I knew that there are women, women in my audience who are hungry for the truth.
00:03:50.420
Before the foundations of the world, God prepared you to be a woman.
00:03:56.340
Join Allie Beth Stuckey for Share the Arrows in Dallas, Texas.
00:04:04.560
Nothing I tell you today will impact you more than the things that I tell my children every day.
00:04:11.560
We are women who need to be challenged, who are willing to swim upstream.
00:04:16.680
Christianity means nothing if truth is not real.
00:04:24.000
So, Glenn, so great to be sitting down here and it's an honor to be able to speak with you.
00:04:44.320
I grew up listening to you and watching your show with the blackboard.
00:04:50.480
It was more instructive than you could have ever imagined.
00:04:54.860
And you've been right about everything that you predicted.
00:05:04.540
But it's really refreshing to hear people be able to say, no, I was wrong about something.
00:05:15.020
Yeah, you know, I haven't really even talked about this on the air.
00:05:20.660
I think I maybe have obliquely referenced it recently.
00:05:33.920
And we haven't spoken since before the election.
00:05:37.060
And we always had a friendly relationship, you know.
00:05:41.260
And he, if I were traveling, I would stay at Mar-a-Lago and he'd be someplace else.
00:05:46.900
But we haven't spoken to each other since the election.
00:05:51.560
And I'll never forget my Scottish assistant, who was part of the Royal Marines.
00:05:57.700
And he comes in while we're shooting a show and he's off stage.
00:06:02.480
And he's like, the president wants to talk to you.
00:06:32.120
And I strangely said, can I, can you ask him if I can call him back?
00:06:51.620
And it was a, it was a really, I wish more people knew him and could hear him like that.
00:07:05.260
Because he, he started in and he said, you know, I want to thank you for, you know, saying
00:07:15.580
And he thought I was taking this a different direction.
00:07:19.120
And I said, well, I don't know if you know this, but during, you know, the last election
00:07:23.940
and he cut me off and he said, oh no, I'm very aware of that.
00:07:30.980
Um, I said, what I said was, I want to be wrong.
00:07:36.620
I don't think I am, but I want to be wrong and I'm going to judge him.
00:07:42.800
I'm, I'm having to judge him on what I think he's going to do.
00:07:46.940
Now, once he's the president, I get to judge him for what he is doing.
00:07:52.420
And I said, so there was never any doubt in my mind, at least that if you did the things
00:07:58.900
that you said you were going to do, I'd be a supporter.
00:08:03.400
And, um, you know, we talked about Israel, um, we talked about trade and I said, I strongly
00:08:18.940
We had a real frank, honest conversation, which you don't have usually with a politician.
00:08:26.720
Um, and I think that's what people like about him, um, uh, is that he really will tell you
00:08:33.300
what he's thinking, what the problem is sometimes.
00:08:41.780
Well, and I'll, I'll tell you, you're a great, um, example, uh, that shows the success of his
00:08:49.980
presidency from a conservative worldview, which is there's more people supporting him that
00:08:55.220
are saying, you know what, I was hoping he'd succeed.
00:08:58.000
And he has, and he has been able to deliver results.
00:09:00.780
What's interesting is at the, um, uh, at the time we're recording this, it's just what day
00:09:10.660
And last night the president had a, uh, rally up in Michigan, 17% of those who attended were
00:09:20.960
And I think there's a lot of people who, you know, I heard Ben Shapiro say the other
00:09:26.800
day, it's whether you think the president is a killer or a coroner, these things, the
00:09:35.980
press and everything else, they've been dead for a long time.
00:09:39.040
Now he's standing over the body saying they're dead and the, and the press now and everybody
00:09:55.840
Half the country, up 40% are convinced that he's the killer.
00:10:00.880
The other half recognize this stuff has been rotted for a long, long time.
00:10:08.300
Well, and Glenn, you and I both share the belief that America's exceptional and it felt that
00:10:12.560
before Donald Trump, and I would make, I would make the argument most Republicans who are
00:10:17.080
running for the presidency would not have done what President Trump has done.
00:10:20.440
Especially the international TPP, Iran deal, renegotiating NAFTA.
00:10:30.220
But it felt as if there was a management of the decline of America.
00:10:38.920
So 2010, 2011, you were a big part of it and you were, you were a very vocal piece of it.
00:10:45.720
And President Trump, in a lot of different ways, has led the revitalization, has given a lot
00:10:51.820
of Americans hope that they thought that this, this country could not be turned around.
00:10:57.120
He has the same thing that Tulsi Gabbard has, and they don't agree on anything.
00:11:04.420
But Tulsi is a, she's so far out of the mainstream and she is so far left, but at no time do I
00:11:19.320
And what used to bring us together is that we can disagree, but we have a fundamental understanding
00:11:25.940
that this country is a positive force and you can make it.
00:11:32.740
This is why Bernie Sanders has a, has a group that really appreciates him and follows him
00:11:37.640
and why even some people on the right will say, oh, I like, I don't like Bernie Sanders,
00:11:42.260
but I think he really believes what he believes.
00:11:44.020
I think the new era of politics in the bipartisan cartel that has ruined this, you know, ruling
00:11:49.960
class essentially, just, you know, very series of destructive policies that have borrowed too
00:11:54.460
much money and eroded our freedoms and liberties and grew the fourth branch of government.
00:11:57.800
I think the American people would much prefer someone who's authentic, who says why they
00:12:02.660
believe what they believe, like that conversation you had with the president on trade, even if
00:12:06.320
you might fundamentally disagree with tariffs, you say, I'll deal with that way more than
00:12:12.500
I made argument after argument and he tried to dismantle and I built, but wait a minute, Mr.
00:12:19.660
And in the end he said, I'm just going to shoot straight with you.
00:12:26.800
I love the fact that we can get things from people.
00:12:31.740
If we just use our muscle a little bit, I fundamentally disagree, but I hung up the phone going, at least
00:12:38.720
you told me the truth, he was not pandering to me.
00:12:42.000
Well, and that's clarity over agreement, which, and, or the false agreement that the, the, the
00:12:48.180
bipartisan coalition that has really, like I said, ruined our country in so many ways, not
00:12:53.400
completely, but I find the American people have this, this yearning in this interest, especially
00:12:59.560
young people for authenticity in our candidates.
00:13:03.660
So I have a question for you and then in 10 years, do you think America will be more
00:13:11.580
I asked this question of everybody, by the way.
00:13:20.500
If, uh, we continue the spending and if we continue the erosion of, of who we are,
00:13:36.980
If we, if we have this, um, a real collapse, an actual depression, people who right now say,
00:13:47.120
They will want it to be able to weather that storm.
00:13:50.800
Um, uh, and I'm afraid that we're on that track.
00:13:59.440
I mean, Charlie, I don't think, you know, the impact you say, Oh, Glenn, you made an impact
00:14:06.760
Do you realize the impact you're having on the country?
00:14:11.940
I mean, your organization didn't exist five years ago.
00:14:21.080
And I, in, in this place that paid to come across the country, I was on a plane with
00:14:31.480
And I realized the people you have, you remember when I did the thing in Washington, DC and
00:14:42.080
And I said that, that day, somewhere in this crowd, there is maybe he's seven, maybe he's
00:14:53.140
Somewhere in this crowd is the next George Washington that will feel it right now.
00:14:58.380
And I am so overwhelmed with the people that I have met from your organization and the people
00:15:09.400
You are, you and your organization really responsible for, um, what I think will be the
00:15:18.420
next great generation, but also some real sucky ones are going to come out of this group
00:15:25.780
You know, there's always, there's always, there's always a big government progressive left or
00:15:33.080
I want to talk to you about that because that's a great point.
00:15:35.080
And I think the, you're starting to see the coming divide on the right.
00:15:39.280
Um, and I have some sympathy with some of the arguments and it's definitely a hundred
00:15:43.360
percent sympathy with the observations of where the, the, the right comes from this, but
00:15:47.900
there's a new right movement, um, where they're okay with using government to trust bust or using
00:15:55.260
government to solve societal cultural problems, banning things, growing government.
00:16:01.160
So this idea of banning porn that's been kicked around.
00:16:06.100
So let's talk about, I did a whole podcast on that.
00:16:09.040
What's, I don't know if you've commented on that publicly or not, but this is the coming
00:16:17.900
You are no different than what you're fighting against.
00:16:23.880
That you're going to, by the way, some of the students tonight are going to be looking for
00:16:27.400
that clarity because they're being told, which way do I want to go on this?
00:16:32.900
This is, this is the divide that started with the progressive era.
00:16:39.400
Those two believed that the government and a group of experts could decide for everyone
00:16:49.900
And that is the exact opposite of what our founders believed.
00:16:54.480
What our founders believed was, look, you are going to some people, and I know this because
00:17:02.660
I've had two people, my mother and my, my brother commit suicide.
00:17:09.840
Some people's bottom is death and there is nothing you can do about it.
00:17:16.120
When people say, oh, that guy was an alcoholic, that star was an alcoholic and depressive, we
00:17:23.100
Most likely the people in their life did see it coming and they tried to do things.
00:17:28.240
But until the individual decides to change, nothing will change.
00:17:33.040
They'll just hide it deeper and deeper and deeper.
00:17:35.820
And you will cause more strife by trying to force them to sober up, get better, be happy.
00:17:51.140
You can teach why it's destructive, but you become the fascist when you decide this is
00:18:00.960
immoral and thus I'm going to make sure nobody does it.
00:18:07.920
It's the efficacy of banning it also is questionable.
00:18:15.500
Look at the drug war and look at, it's not Spain.
00:18:24.260
They had the highest addiction rate, I believe in the world, on heroin.
00:18:33.620
What they decided to do was legalize all of it and then take half of the money they were
00:18:39.180
spending and work on drug programs like AA programs.
00:18:43.780
Just fund things that work to get people off that.
00:18:51.380
I mean, there'll always be drug problems, but they've healed their country.
00:19:07.120
Remember, the progressives started in the Republican side.
00:19:11.900
And you're seeing it, especially with the issue of tech, tech tyranny, Facebook, Google.
00:19:20.820
And there's calls on the right now to either trust bust them, where we've heard that before.
00:19:26.940
And a lot of it is by bad history, by the way, that the trust busting was almost as glamorized
00:19:34.580
And you educated me on this quite well about really the reality of trust busting.
00:19:38.820
Look, it is the one part of capitalism that I can't come up with a comfortable answer on.
00:19:51.680
How do you control it when people become so wealthy and so powerful that they can control?
00:20:05.340
Do we bust them up so they don't have that much?
00:20:08.160
This country was really built by the railroads.
00:20:13.160
You know, people say, oh, look at the Vanderbilts and what they had just because they built the railroad.
00:20:20.520
The average American has about twice the benefits and lifestyle that the Vanderbilts had back then.
00:20:29.380
We have a much better life on average and just below average.
00:20:39.960
I've actually, I've gone into the private residence of the Breakers.
00:20:47.500
I don't know if you know this, but Vanderbilts still live in the Breakers.
00:20:54.280
The attic is nothing but Louis Vuitton steamer trunks that just say Vanderbilt silver, Vanderbilt China.
00:21:03.260
The things that they did was crazy, but they helped us grow.
00:21:10.040
The problem was, is they decided themselves that they could control things.
00:21:23.280
I mean, he supported the socialists, the national socialists in Germany.
00:21:30.480
I'm going to tell my coworkers, my workers what to do.
00:21:33.620
If you wanted to buy a Ford, you had to come see him.
00:21:37.020
And he would go over your financial records to see if you were even qualified to own.
00:21:47.080
So how do you square that to a free market skeptic?
00:21:49.760
I can't, I can't square it other than it works itself out.
00:21:57.320
We are going through what we went through in the late 1800s.
00:22:02.420
You think it's a gilded era almost that we might be going through.
00:22:04.740
I think it's a gilded, the big, huge houses that are built.
00:22:10.340
That's going to be the breakers of this century.
00:22:17.320
Well, the counter argument, people will say, but no, it took a Teddy Roosevelt to break it up.
00:22:21.860
That's what someone on the far left or the new right would say.
00:22:26.540
He broke up the, the corruption in politics in New York.
00:22:36.040
You have to make the government so small that no, there's no one really to bribe.
00:22:47.000
It's impossible to lobby a government so small that doesn't exist.
00:22:50.380
Why, you know, it was Woodrow Wilson that really started this, this lobbying campaign and they did it in World War I.
00:22:59.840
And so some people that, and mind you, Glenn, this is a growing intellectual community.
00:23:05.800
I agree with them 100% on a lot of their observations.
00:23:12.020
We're not going to get back to constitutional government.
00:23:15.340
They say the fourth branch of government is untouchable.
00:23:19.440
What is achievable, though, is broad consensus of trying to use the instruments of power towards a moral good.
00:23:26.140
And it's not an insignificant amount of people, Glenn, that believe this.
00:23:31.780
We cannot become a group of people that don't understand the tyranny of the majority or the tyranny of the minority.
00:23:50.860
You must allow me to fail and you must allow me to succeed.
00:23:57.400
You can't, it's something that, if I may speak in religious terms here.
00:24:06.980
So, you know, the war in heaven when a third of the angels are lost.
00:24:13.880
And Satan's up there and he's like, I'm going to bring all of them back.
00:24:18.860
I'm going to bring all these people back to you, God.
00:24:49.380
That is the, this is the same argument that has been going on, if you're a spiritual person,
00:24:57.500
And I've always wondered, up until the last 10 years or so, how, how do you stand in front
00:25:09.820
And a third of them are convinced, yeah, God's the bad guy.
00:25:19.780
He wants these people to go down there and suffer and hurt and be in pain and stumble and
00:25:37.260
That's how you get a third of the angels to fall away.
00:25:44.380
They say, capitalists, true capitalists say, you know what?
00:25:47.820
There are going to be places and people whose heart is so big, they want to help.
00:25:54.320
And we as a society are going to promote the general welfare, meaning we're going to show,
00:26:00.180
we're going to point those people out and say, good job, good job.
00:26:05.500
And then there's something that is so big that only the government can take care of.
00:26:16.480
Everyone has to be able to succeed because it's about the individual, not the group.
00:26:26.520
Skeptics will say, but that's doomed to fail because of the law of hierarchies.
00:26:30.760
So that you'll have so many people in the competence hierarchy that will get so good and will only
00:26:38.240
And over time, the mob will be created no matter what.
00:26:55.160
Boy, I would go back to the American Trinity, which is liberty, in God we trust,
00:27:02.420
And also to be able to live free and make choices you see fit as long as they don't hurt somebody else.
00:27:19.540
Secondly, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,
00:27:30.400
and among these rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:27:33.820
And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.
00:27:40.700
That is the greatest mission statement of all time.
00:27:46.040
And everyone says, well, yeah, well, we never achieved it.
00:27:57.920
Those founders that wrote that said, I believe man can do this.
00:28:13.780
When I was growing up, we didn't think we could go to the moon.
00:28:23.540
The moon was just there, and we were here, and there's no way we're ever going to go to the moon.
00:28:29.540
John F. Kennedy says, we're going to go to the moon, we're going to put men on it,
00:28:35.360
and we're going to return them home by the end of this decade.
00:28:47.660
This is the biggest idea any man has ever had, any group of people.
00:28:55.540
What we do is we just say, we suck, instead of saying, wait a minute, we failed, but have you seen the progress over here?
00:29:06.900
Have you seen what these people have done, and promote the general welfare and domestic tranquility by saying, look at how we're advancing as man?
00:29:20.080
Instead, we keep saying, man sucks, he'll always suck, and he's got to have a big government being big brother to hold him in place.
00:29:32.640
And so, you come from the place and the opinion that man is broken by nature, original sin.
00:29:44.640
And I hate to oversimplify it, but I think a lot of the American left, because they don't come from a biblical worldview, and they look at things, I believe, in more platonic terms, and less Aristotelian terms, they believe that it's the structures and the systems, not the man that is broken.
00:29:59.660
So, they'll make the argument, no, man's actually good, but it's the capitalistic patriarchy and the nuclear family.
00:30:08.460
Or they will make the statement that man is nothing more than cattle, and a group of supermen can-
00:30:20.080
Right, can be the ranchers of those cattle to protect the cattle.
00:30:27.820
Every man is put here with everything he needs.
00:31:01.240
If you only know him in Europe, he's a miracle.
00:31:18.960
When he got kicked out of the Navy or the British Navy or whatever, yeah.
00:31:22.180
Is he the guy in 1935 or is he the guy in 1945?
00:31:28.280
What matters is, was he better earlier or better towards death?
00:31:35.260
He admitted his mistakes by the time he was old.
00:31:48.720
And that is the individual responsibility for all of us.
00:31:53.460
And unless you go through the crucible, unless you are put into the refiner's fire of life,
00:31:59.720
if you are not allowed to succeed, well, then you're not going to be able to fail.
00:32:03.920
And if you're only allowed to fail because the entire system is failing, you won't know the sweet.
00:32:16.160
Winston Churchill is no different than our country, than you, than me.
00:32:20.320
We all have a dark side and we all have a light side.
00:32:28.740
The idea is for you to understand that there is forgiveness for you.
00:32:34.400
So, thus, you should provide forgiveness for others.
00:32:38.320
And you should provide understanding and grace to others.
00:32:42.240
Because you know when you do something wrong and nobody will ever forgive you.
00:32:51.280
And I find one of the root causes of this, where also progressivism is able to catch hold,
00:32:58.980
is the fastest growing religion in America, which is atheism.
00:33:02.820
And the rise of atheism, not just agnosticism and not just being deferential, but the committed,
00:33:09.020
I am an atheist and I want to tell the world about it.
00:33:13.640
Because they evangelize more than evangelical Christians do.
00:33:19.080
There's a direct connection to that to statism.
00:33:21.280
When you are able to get people not to believe in a higher power,
00:33:24.300
not believe that natural rights actually come from a creator,
00:33:30.040
You know, for most of my life, I thought Nietzsche was sticking his fist up and going,
00:33:48.540
And he was warning, you're replacing him with science and God help you with the direction
00:34:06.160
The left, their God is the planet, global warming, socialism.
00:34:12.020
And if you don't genuflect when you are told to genuflect, if you don't say the rosary the
00:34:20.940
right way, you are a part of the problem and you must be run out of town because you're
00:34:32.700
It's just their God is different than, you know, the invisible guy in the sky.
00:34:38.840
There is a difference, if I may say, between atheists.
00:34:44.240
I know, I know atheists that are not a part of the problem because they're also strong
00:34:53.760
And so they don't want to force it on somebody else.
00:34:58.620
And, you know, my friend Penn Jillette, he said to me one time, we were just chatting and
00:35:13.220
He said, you know, you never asked me what I know about Jesus and to be baptized.
00:35:19.020
And I said, well, I figure you're smart enough to know and I shouldn't.
00:35:26.880
He said, but doesn't that, isn't that part of your creed to be able to do it?
00:35:34.520
And he said, I actually kind of feel bad that you didn't think enough of me.
00:35:39.460
And I said, no, I was actually trying to respect you and not, you know, do that.
00:35:45.180
And he said, yeah, but it's in your creed to do that.
00:35:54.940
When I first met Penn, I asked him, I said, I just finished a show with him.
00:36:02.580
And I said, hey, next time you're in town, let's get together, have lunch.
00:36:18.000
And he said, it'd be like me having a lunch with a disease.
00:36:29.940
And he said, I would never have a religious person in my house.
00:36:33.700
It'd be like inviting the plague into my house.
00:36:36.540
And I said, Penn, boy, I've thought a lot of things about you in my life, but not that you were a bigot.
00:36:43.220
And he told me later, he got into the elevator and he just kicked himself.
00:36:49.060
And he had grouped all religious people into one ball.
00:36:53.880
And through our friendship, you know, of me just being there and, you know, always being his friend, he changed.
00:37:07.560
In fact, he's preaching to his atheist friends.
00:37:09.760
I saw him on stage at the atheist convention saying, don't be what we've always said the worst Christians are to us.
00:37:22.780
Just live with one another and respect one another.
00:37:25.920
I'm afraid that's the minority of atheists, though.
00:37:32.240
And Dennis Prager has the best question about it.
00:37:34.640
He spoke at the atheist convention once they've invited him.
00:37:37.600
And he asked the question, do you hope you're wrong?
00:37:39.460
And it's a great question to ask Penn, because if you don't hope you're wrong, then you want to be right more than what is good.
00:37:47.540
You want to be right more than ever having an afterlife, mercy, forgiveness, believing there's ubiquitous creator behind everything that we know to be true.
00:37:55.680
I don't think Penn would say he hopes he's wrong.
00:37:59.980
He wants to just be nothing more than a clump of cells and bacteria.
00:38:03.420
Yeah, he thinks that we live a good, decent life now, enjoy every second, be good every second.
00:38:15.360
But he should at least hope there's an afterlife.
00:38:17.360
Meaning, would you believe the Bible if it's true, Penn?
00:38:24.900
Because if I could prove it to you, which I don't think you can either way.
00:38:30.720
But there's good evidence to get people within striking distance.
00:38:37.740
Okay, so if I could prove it to you, would you change your mind?
00:38:44.020
If they say no, if I said no, if they came to you and said, if we could prove that there is no God, I reject that immediately because you can't prove that.
00:38:57.800
But if you could, and here's the evidence, Charlie, there is no God, would you change your mind?
00:39:12.140
Knowing that no proof on either side would actually ever do it.
00:39:22.640
I mean, I look at my faith, you know, people are like, you actually believe in that stuff?
00:39:31.060
I'm a recovering alcoholic and, even more important, a recovering dirtbag.
00:39:35.880
I spent a lot of my life being an absolute dirtbag.
00:39:39.420
And I know what my will got me, and it got me nowhere except into the center of misery.
00:39:48.640
And when I went looking for a faith, I went looking for God, I was looking just for something that would make me a happier person, make me nicer, make people, make me just love people, you know?
00:40:05.340
And to control the worst urges in me, I don't care.
00:40:11.060
If I have to drink chicken blood, if it works for me, celebration.
00:40:20.100
If I get to heaven and God is like some big space octopus, and he's like, you never saw this one coming, I'd go, no, never thought that.
00:40:37.440
So I visit campuses a lot, and we're so thrilled you'll be able to speak to our students.
00:40:41.560
And the rise of socialism is real and the destruction of our public education system.
00:40:46.560
And so can you give a little bit of a preview, or as this will record indefinitely in perpetuity, give it to those that can't be there, give me the blowdown.
00:41:01.640
And I want our students to look up to you and admire you so much, Ben.
00:41:06.720
And if you could remember my name, I would believe it.
00:41:16.560
This is an 1830 engraving of the original Declaration of Independence, the first draft.
00:41:28.960
And if you look at it, here, you can take that one.
00:41:31.040
If you look at it, you will see on the sides, on the borders.
00:41:38.080
And on the borders, you'll see things like Franklin or Adams.
00:41:42.760
That's like a Google Doc where Franklin went in and said, don't like that line.
00:42:12.360
Then Franklin and Adams going, okay, I kind of like that.
00:42:19.320
Now, what does the Declaration of Independence say at the very top?
00:42:29.000
A declaration by the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress.
00:42:36.940
But what does the official, the one that was approved.
00:42:46.340
So they started and Thomas Jefferson said, you have to, do we all agree that if we aren't
00:42:53.200
completely in lock sync, that the king will find a way to worm himself between us and he'll
00:43:12.540
So I want you to notice that the only words that are capitalized in that.
00:43:31.740
Now, why, why would, do you notice that that's nowhere else?
00:43:50.040
That's Thomas Jefferson alone at night writing the first draft.
00:43:55.660
And in it, he says, and the worst usurptation, the worst thing he has done is this Christian
00:44:04.620
king, handwritten out, that's, uh, that's all printed.
00:44:15.140
This Christian king has taken a group of people who never offended him from another part of
00:44:34.020
He sold capital letters, men, on the open market.
00:44:42.880
How could Thomas Jefferson write, all men are created?
00:44:48.000
That's why he, in his own zeal, he, he capitalized men.
00:44:57.320
And now he's taking the people who are trying to free those people.
00:45:03.060
We have tried over and over and over again, and he blocks us every step of the way.
00:45:08.200
And now he's telling these people that he'll buy their freedom if he will, if they will kill
00:45:37.600
So don't tell me we were built by racists that didn't understand.
00:45:45.380
And inspired by this document, in 1777, Vermont abolished slavery.
00:45:50.400
I mean, this document inspired the abolition movement.
00:45:56.520
But the lie of the left is that we're a racist country from our founding.
00:46:07.520
And we only got a couple minutes because then we got to throw you on stage.
00:46:11.460
This is to Caesar Rodney, one of our founders, written by Thomas Jefferson.
00:46:47.220
I think that might be a Latin phrase at the end.
00:46:49.360
I mean, that's Jefferson, one of his more famous lines.
00:46:56.160
Just quickly, this is the original prospectus for Disneyland.
00:47:14.520
Yeah, he died in 66, I think, and that was opened in 72.
00:47:18.420
And Epcot was not supposed to be what Epcot is now.
00:47:24.680
So, it looks like, if I had to guess, a picture of-
00:47:31.320
Yeah, obviously, from 1940s, probably World War II.
00:47:43.080
So, we were letting people know before we dropped the bomb.
00:47:50.540
Leaflets were dropped from the sky over 11 cities.
00:47:56.760
And Hiroshima and Nagasaki are two of the cities.
00:48:02.720
We have more firepower in one bomb than all the bombs we have already dropped in Europe.
00:48:23.880
Only Israel would do that with the Palestinian Authority.
00:48:35.960
But, Glenn, we're just like every other country.
00:48:43.860
Um, Walt Disney in 1954 in the, uh, I think it was November of 1954 said, I want to build
00:48:53.920
a park and I'm going to build it in Orange County.
00:49:19.040
Now you have to get environment, you'd have to get environmental impact statements.
00:49:25.520
No, that's, well, Glenn, it's such an honor to be able to speak with you.
00:49:41.040
I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend so it
00:50:06.660
So many conferences focus on women's emotions and focus on our self-esteem.
