00:00:00.000 I listen to Allie Beth's podcasts every day.

00:00:02.700 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:00:04.140 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.

00:00:13.040 On October 11th...

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. 1.00

00:00:34.460 Hello, America.

00:00:35.280 You know we've been fighting every single day.

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.

00:00:48.440 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

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.

00:01:03.460 This isn't a podcast.

00:01:04.820 This is a movement.

00:01:06.440 And you're part of it.

00:01:07.400 A big part of it.

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.

00:01:13.400 Rate, review, share.

00:01:15.000 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:01:17.060 And thanks for standing with us.

00:01:18.380 Now let's get to work.

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.

00:01:37.440 But I don't think that's true.

00:01:38.980 I mean, I think there are those dirt bags.

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.

00:02:32.480 It's Turning Point USA.

00:02:34.480 It is the largest, most impressive and fastest growth youth movement in the country.

00:02:41.720 Chapters at over 1,500 schools in America.

00:02:46.000 It's also worldwide now.

00:02:48.620 Recently, I was invited to speak at their fifth annual Student Action Summit.

00:02:52.140 And what I saw amazed me.

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.

00:03:23.500 It is going to be an amazing day.

00:03:27.180 Alice is an Allie Beth almost every day.

00:03:29.040 I was so excited to just hear all the women that have been on Allie's podcast. 0.99

00:03:33.200 It was just really inspiring.

00:03:34.600 What they're doing, what Allie Beth is doing.

00:03:37.340 Huge fan.

00:03:39.380 I knew that there are women, women in my audience who are hungry for the truth.

00:03:46.340 Amazing experience.

00:03:49.400 On October 11th.

00:03:50.420 Before the foundations of the world, God prepared you to be a woman. 1.00

00:03:56.340 Join Allie Beth Stuckey for Share the Arrows in Dallas, Texas. 1.00

00:03:59.980 Christianity is true and it means something.

00:04:02.800 With inspirational speakers.

00:04:04.560 Nothing I tell you today will impact you more than the things that I tell my children every day.

00:04:09.000 And worship led by Francesca Battistelli.

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.

00:04:21.600 Get tickets now at sharethearrows.com.

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.

00:04:42.520 Yeah, likewise.

00:04:43.400 Thank you so much.

00:04:44.320 I grew up listening to you and watching your show with the blackboard.

00:04:48.320 Well, thank you very much.

00:04:50.480 It was more instructive than you could have ever imagined.

00:04:53.040 Wow, that is meaningful.

00:04:54.860 And you've been right about everything that you predicted.

00:04:57.880 Not everything.

00:04:58.680 Wrong about Donald Trump.

00:05:00.180 Well, I was talking more back in 2012 or 2013.

00:05:04.540 But it's really refreshing to hear people be able to say, no, I was wrong about something.

00:05:08.620 I've been wrong about stuff.

00:05:09.520 I endorsed Cruz.

00:05:10.680 Yeah.

00:05:10.980 And I was behind him.

00:05:12.840 Yeah.

00:05:12.960 And I think Trump surprised all of us.

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.

00:05:27.300 But it must have been about six months ago.

00:05:32.320 The president called me.

00:05:33.920 And we haven't spoken since before the election.

00:05:36.660 Wow.

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.

00:05:49.840 And he called me up.

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.

00:06:07.960 And I said, cut, stop for a second.

00:06:10.340 What?

00:06:11.080 And he said, the president is on the phone.

00:06:12.880 And I said, the president of what?

00:06:16.300 Some university or Bolivia.

00:06:19.220 Yeah.

00:06:19.440 He's the president of Costco.

00:06:21.040 Yeah.

00:06:21.320 Why are you interrupting?

00:06:22.640 Interrupting.

00:06:23.340 And he said, of your country?

00:06:26.720 Wow. 1.00

00:06:27.060 And I said, oh, crap. 0.99

00:06:30.700 And I didn't even know what to do. 0.87

00:06:32.120 And I strangely said, can I, can you ask him if I can call him back?

00:06:37.120 I'm in the middle of shooting a show. 1.00

00:06:39.280 What a stupid thing to say. 0.99

00:06:41.000 And so he said, okay, we finished up the show. 1.00

00:06:44.700 I called him back about 30 minutes later.

00:06:47.540 And we talked for about a half an hour.

00:06:51.520 Wow.

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

00:07:13.880 some nice things about me.

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.

00:07:27.560 And I said, no, no, no, not that.

00:07:29.420 I'm clear you were 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.

00:07:46.500 Wow.

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.

00:08:02.080 I just didn't think you'd do them.

00:08:03.400 And, um, you know, we talked about Israel, um, we talked about trade and I said, I strongly

00:08:10.300 disagree.

00:08:11.080 I bet we spent 15 minutes just on trade.

00:08:13.680 Wow.

00:08:14.160 Um, and he did not shy away.

00:08:16.300 He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear.

00:08:18.940 We had a real frank, honest conversation, which you don't have usually with a politician.

00:08:26.420 Yes.

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.

00:08:37.160 And yet the blessing is he is just PT Barnum.

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

00:09:08.900 after the impeachment.

00:09:10.660 And last night the president had a, uh, rally up in Michigan, 17% of those who attended were

00:09:19.720 Democrats.

00:09:20.260 That's right.

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

00:09:45.460 else is saying, look, he killed the press.

00:09:47.460 No, he didn't.

00:09:48.120 Wow.

00:09:48.240 They killed themselves a long time ago.

00:09:50.940 So is he a coroner or is he the killer?

00:09:55.420 Wow.

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.

00:10:07.800 Yes.

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.

00:10:19.800 No way.

00:10:20.440 Especially the international TPP, Iran deal, renegotiating NAFTA.

00:10:26.940 Those are almost untouchable for both parties.

00:10:28.920 You can't, you can't go there.

00:10:30.220 But it felt as if there was a management of the decline of America.

00:10:33.440 And you led the Tea Party movement.

00:10:36.220 No.

00:10:36.580 In 2011.

00:10:37.360 Those are my words, not yours.

00:10:38.500 Okay.

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.

00:10:56.080 You know, it's really strange.

00:10:57.120 He has the same thing that Tulsi Gabbard has, and they don't agree on anything.

00:11:03.520 Basically anything.

00:11:03.900 You know what I mean?

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

00:11:14.560 believe she hates America.

00:11:16.620 I believe she loves America.

00:11:17.660 We just disagree.

00:11:19.080 Yes.

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.

00:11:31.000 Well, I have a working theory about this.

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

00:12:10.680 an establishment Republican in a heartbeat.

00:12:12.500 I made argument after argument and he tried to dismantle and I built, but wait a minute, Mr.

00:12:18.340 President, this blah, blah, blah.

00:12:19.660 And in the end he said, I'm just going to shoot straight with you.

00:12:23.100 I love them.

00:12:24.320 I love trade barriers.

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.

00:13:02.400 And that's been deteriorating.

00:13:03.660 So I have a question for you and then in 10 years, do you think America will be more

00:13:08.540 or less socialist?

00:13:11.580 I asked this question of everybody, by the way.

00:13:17.100 Can I answer with a caveat?

00:13:18.880 Of course.

00:13:20.500 If, uh, we continue the spending and if we continue the erosion of, of who we are,

00:13:33.660 and the truth, we will be much more socialist.

00:13:36.980 If we, if we have this, um, a real collapse, an actual depression, people who right now say,

00:13:45.520 I am absolutely against socialism.

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.

00:13:54.940 However, I've been really heartened.

00:13:59.440 I mean, Charlie, I don't think, you know, the impact you say, Oh, Glenn, you made an impact

00:14:06.140 on my life.

00:14:06.760 Do you realize the impact you're having on the country?

00:14:10.760 I don't.

00:14:11.940 I mean, your organization didn't exist five years ago.

00:14:15.760 It didn't exist.

00:14:17.760 Tonight, I'm talking to 5,000 people.

00:14:21.080 And I, in, in this place that paid to come across the country, I was on a plane with

00:14:27.180 all kinds of 18 to 24 year olds yesterday.

00:14:31.480 And I realized the people you have, you remember when I did the thing in Washington, DC and

00:14:38.580 restoring honor?

00:14:39.560 I do.

00:14:40.060 And I, right on the, uh, Washington monument.

00:14:42.080 And I said that, that day, somewhere in this crowd, there is maybe he's seven, maybe he's

00:14:50.040 15.

00:14:51.160 I saw that speech.

00:14:52.320 Yeah.

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

00:15:05.120 who are coming.

00:15:05.740 You're raising the next generation.

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

00:15:25.340 too.

00:15:25.780 You know, there's always, there's always, there's always a big government progressive left or

00:15:31.500 right in, in every.

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.

00:16:03.960 So that, that, that, that, that's part of it.

00:16:05.740 Right.

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

00:16:12.660 divide though, Glenn.

00:16:13.540 I know.

00:16:13.980 I don't like something.

00:16:15.100 This is horrible.

00:16:15.800 This is evil.

00:16:16.440 It's immoral.

00:16:17.040 It's a sin.

00:16:17.900 You are no different than what you're fighting against.

00:16:21.620 Talk about that.

00:16:22.340 This is the divide, Glenn.

00:16:23.580 Right.

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?

00:16:31.880 Yep.

00:16:32.060 That's the diff.

00:16:32.900 This is, this is the divide that started with the progressive era.

00:16:36.960 Woodrow Wilson.

00:16:37.360 Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

00:16:39.400 Those two believed that the government and a group of experts could decide for everyone

00:16:46.140 else.

00:16:46.360 Philosopher Kings.

00:16:47.360 Yes.

00:16:47.500 Right.

00:16:47.680 That's insanity.

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

00:17:00.980 I come from a suicidal family.

00:17:02.660 I've had two people, my mother and my, my brother commit suicide.

00:17:07.100 So I know it.

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

00:17:21.520 should have seen this coming.

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.

00:17:43.140 You know what I mean?

00:17:43.640 And you can't control other people's morality.

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.

00:18:06.860 And there's an argument to be made.

00:18:07.920 It's the efficacy of banning it also is questionable.

00:18:11.560 Black markets pop up.

00:18:12.940 Look at the drug war.

00:18:14.440 Sure.

00:18:15.140 Yeah.

00:18:15.500 Look at the drug war and look at, it's not Spain.

00:18:18.300 It's the island, right?

00:18:19.480 Portugal.

00:18:20.140 Yeah.

00:18:20.700 Are you familiar with what Portugal is?

00:18:22.020 They legalized all drugs, basically.

00:18:24.260 They had the highest addiction rate, I believe in the world, on heroin.

00:18:28.660 They were losing their entire country.

00:18:31.800 They are pouring money.

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.

00:18:47.920 And they've completely healed their country.

00:18:51.380 I mean, there'll always be drug problems, but they've healed their country.

00:18:55.400 We keep going down the same path.

00:18:58.340 Bad, slap the hand. 0.81

00:18:59.720 Bad, slap the hand. 0.81

00:19:00.840 It doesn't work.

00:19:01.900 And that's growing on the right, Glenn.

00:19:03.620 I know it is.

00:19:04.520 And it's almost, I don't know the percentages.

00:19:07.120 Remember, the progressives started in the Republican side.

00:19:11.620 Yes.

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

00:19:32.460 from the early 1900s.

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?

00:20:00.960 So do we take their money away?

00:20:03.180 Do we take their control away?

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. 0.94

00:20:29.380 We have a much better life on average and just below average.

00:20:33.500 And they were the top.

00:20:34.340 And they were the top.

00:20:35.180 No one was even close.

00:20:36.380 Just ask Anderson Cooper.

00:20:37.800 No one was even close.

00:20:39.960 I've actually, I've gone into the private residence of the Breakers.

00:20:43.920 There's two floors.

00:20:45.700 Anderson introduced me to the family.

00:20:47.500 I don't know if you know this, but Vanderbilts still live in the Breakers.

00:20:49.960 No, I didn't know that.

00:20:50.540 Top two floors.

00:20:51.440 Wow.

00:20:51.740 Yeah, it's phenomenal.

00:20:54.280 The attic is nothing but Louis Vuitton steamer trunks that just say Vanderbilt silver, Vanderbilt China.

00:21:02.980 Okay.

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.

00:21:17.960 Henry Ford was an awful, he was a socialist. 0.98

00:21:20.580 He was an awful guy. 0.99

00:21:22.160 He believed. 0.91

00:21:23.280 I mean, he supported the socialists, the national socialists in Germany.

00:21:28.640 He believed himself.

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.

00:21:43.300 So these people want to control things.

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.

00:22:08.500 The ostentatious lifestyles.

00:22:10.340 That's going to be the breakers of this century.

00:22:13.920 Yes.

00:22:14.120 Okay.

00:22:14.700 And it will bust itself up eventually.

00:22:17.320 Well, the counter argument, people will say, but no, it took a Teddy Roosevelt to break it up.

00:22:21.320 No.

00:22:21.860 That's what someone on the far left or the new right would say.

00:22:24.900 Here's what Teddy Roosevelt did.

00:22:26.540 He broke up the, the corruption in politics in New York.

00:22:34.220 You want to fix this?

00:22:36.040 You have to make the government so small that no, there's no one really to bribe.

00:22:44.200 Okay.

00:22:45.140 You clean the corruption up.

00:22:47.000 It's impossible to lobby a government so small that doesn't exist.

00:22:50.320 Right.

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.

00:23:04.960 And I respect a lot.

00:23:05.800 I agree with them 100% on a lot of their observations.

00:23:08.220 Not always with the conclusions.

00:23:09.760 They'll say, but that's not achievable.

00:23:12.020 We're not going to get back to constitutional government.

00:23:14.440 Why?

00:23:15.340 They say the fourth branch of government is untouchable.

00:23:18.620 Not enough representatives.

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.

00:23:31.260 I know.

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.

00:23:42.360 And both of which are just as bad.

00:23:45.700 Yes.

00:23:46.060 Okay?

00:23:46.900 And we are a nation of individuals.

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.

00:24:05.480 Sure, I'm a Christian.

00:24:06.640 All right.

00:24:06.980 So, you know, the war in heaven when a third of the angels are lost.

00:24:13.200 Okay?

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.

00:24:22.120 But you got to give me the credit.

00:24:24.800 And how was, what was his plan?

00:24:27.020 To take away choice.

00:24:29.240 To take away their choice.

00:24:31.180 They'll do what I say they should do.

00:24:34.220 And then they'll be clean of all sin.

00:24:36.760 And so they can come back.

00:24:38.180 Wow.

00:24:38.520 That wasn't the plan that God chose.

00:24:41.720 God said, no, he'll sacrifice himself.

00:24:44.980 They must be free to fail.

00:24:48.060 Wow.

00:24:48.380 Okay?

00:24:49.380 That is the, this is the same argument that has been going on, if you're a spiritual person,

00:24:55.340 since the beginning of time.

00:24:57.180 Wow.

00:24:57.500 And I've always wondered, up until the last 10 years or so, how, how do you stand in front

00:25:06.100 of a group of angels who know who God is?

00:25:09.820 And a third of them are convinced, yeah, God's the bad guy.

00:25:14.240 How do you do that?

00:25:15.680 You do that by saying, you know what he wants?

00:25:19.280 You know what he wants?

00:25:19.780 He wants these people to go down there and suffer and hurt and be in pain and stumble and

00:25:26.260 fall.

00:25:26.860 And some of them won't even make it back.

00:25:30.480 What kind of dad would do that?

00:25:33.320 What kind of God would do that?

00:25:37.260 That's how you get a third of the angels to fall away.

00:25:40.140 That's what capitalism stops.

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.

00:26:03.640 Hey, you want help?

00:26:04.680 Go to them.

00:26:05.500 And then there's something that is so big that only the government can take care of.

00:26:10.560 We'll consider that.

00:26:11.960 But everyone has to be able to fall.

00:26:14.880 Everyone has to be able to bleed.

00:26:16.480 Everyone has to be able to succeed because it's about the individual, not the group.

00:26:23.920 And so well said.

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

00:26:36.200 multiply their wealth and multiply it.

00:26:38.240 And over time, the mob will be created no matter what.

00:26:42.660 What is our mission?

00:26:43.940 It's a more pessimistic way to look at it.

00:26:46.380 And I'm saying I believe it.

00:26:47.840 What is our mission statement?

00:26:49.480 As a country?

00:26:50.180 Yeah.

00:26:51.740 That's how I would articulate it?

00:26:53.840 Yeah.

00:26:55.160 Boy, I would go back to the American Trinity, which is liberty, in God we trust,

00:27:00.500 e pluribus unum, which means out of many, one.

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.

00:27:09.120 So may I take that and-

00:27:10.560 That was on-

00:27:11.680 Right, right, right.

00:27:12.160 On the fly.

00:27:12.720 On the fly.

00:27:13.040 May I take what you just said-

00:27:13.920 Please, go ahead.

00:27:14.720 And restate it.

00:27:15.900 Yeah.

00:27:16.060 No, no, no.

00:27:16.700 It's right.

00:27:17.840 Let me restate it a little more eloquently.

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.

00:27:39.220 Okay?

00:27:40.700 That is the greatest mission statement of all time.

00:27:45.240 Thank you, John Locke.

00:27:46.040 And everyone says, well, yeah, well, we never achieved it.

00:27:51.160 Yeah, we haven't.

00:27:52.700 We haven't.

00:27:53.640 Do you realize that aspirational statement?

00:27:57.920 Those founders that wrote that said, I believe man can do this.

00:28:03.600 That's like John F. Kennedy.

00:28:05.220 My father was born in 1926.

00:28:07.760 And we talked about the moon launch.

00:28:10.840 And I said, what was that like?

00:28:12.480 And he said, son, you have no idea.

00:28:13.780 When I was growing up, we didn't think we could go to the moon.

00:28:18.280 Nobody even talked about it.

00:28:19.880 We didn't even think about it.

00:28:21.340 We didn't even have electricity.

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.

00:28:41.680 Everybody thought that's insane.

00:28:44.580 We did it.

00:28:45.740 We did it.

00:28:47.440 Okay?

00:28:47.660 This is the biggest idea any man has ever had, any group of people.

00:28:55.240 Wow.

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? 0.97

00:29:04.920 Have you seen this person, this group? 0.97

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?

00:29:19.400 Yes. 0.99

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. 1.00

00:29:28.800 I'm telling you, that is an evil plan. 1.00

00:29:32.640 And so, you come from the place and the opinion that man is broken by nature, original sin.

00:29:41.480 Every man.

00:29:42.540 And every man has to start over.

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-

00:30:18.560 Philosopher kings should rise up.

00:30:20.080 Right, can be the ranchers of those cattle to protect the cattle.

00:30:23.880 I reject both of those.

00:30:26.380 Yes.

00:30:26.760 Okay?

00:30:27.820 Every man is put here with everything he needs.

00:30:32.520 Every man has it in him.

00:30:35.280 Every-

00:30:36.000 I love Winston Churchill.

00:30:38.260 Probably the greatest man in the 20th century.

00:30:40.040 Right.

00:30:40.780 Unless you're an Indian from India. 1.00

00:30:44.180 Then that man is a monster. 1.00

00:30:46.420 A monster. 1.00

00:30:47.700 Kill them all. 1.00

00:30:48.860 Shoot them. 1.00

00:30:50.060 Put them down. 1.00

00:30:51.080 They are not capable of self-rule.

00:30:56.260 Crush the rebellion. 1.00

00:30:57.980 If you only know him there, he's a monster. 0.95

00:31:01.240 If you only know him in Europe, he's a miracle.

00:31:06.700 So, Charlie, which one is he?

00:31:08.820 Somewhere in between.

00:31:10.220 Yeah.

00:31:10.820 He's both.

00:31:12.060 He's both.

00:31:13.960 Is he the guy he was in 1935?

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?

00:31:25.820 Or is he the guy at death?

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.

00:31:39.100 He said, I was lost.

00:31:40.840 I didn't think it through.

00:31:42.260 I had a different view of things.

00:31:44.380 He was progressing as a human.

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.

00:32:11.300 You won't grow.

00:32:12.900 Yes.

00:32:13.500 So, you have to be able to grow.

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.

00:32:23.860 And it's a battle in between.

00:32:26.260 It's a battle our whole lives.

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.

00:32:47.900 It's just spirals into darkness.

00:32:51.020 Yes.

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.

00:33:11.460 I call them evangelical atheists.

00:33:13.260 Right.

00:33:13.640 Because they evangelize more than evangelical Christians do.

00:33:17.060 And you've talked about this at length.

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,

00:33:26.960 well, why not government?

00:33:28.300 Government then becomes God.

00:33:30.040 You know, for most of my life, I thought Nietzsche was sticking his fist up and going,

00:33:35.920 yeah, God is dead.

00:33:37.460 He didn't say that. 0.51

00:33:39.560 God is dead, paraphrasing.

00:33:42.140 Now what?

00:33:43.600 Because man needs a God.

00:33:46.100 So what are you going to replace him with?

00:33:48.540 And he was warning, you're replacing him with science and God help you with the direction

00:33:55.800 that you're going right now.

00:33:57.540 And look what happened.

00:33:59.560 Eugenics into the Holocaust. 0.95

00:34:02.180 All right.

00:34:02.700 So man has to have a God.

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 0.99

00:34:29.160 a heretic. 0.99

00:34:30.320 Yes.

00:34:30.820 Okay.

00:34:31.140 It's the same thing.

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

00:34:52.520 libertarians.

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

00:35:03.320 he said, you're Christian.

00:35:06.720 I'm like, yeah, you know that.

00:35:09.080 He said, well, I know.

00:35:10.680 I didn't know if you knew that.

00:35:11.880 And I said, what are you talking about?

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.

00:35:50.280 So I know people that like Penn who's changed.

00:35:54.940 When I first met Penn, I asked him, I said, I just finished a show with him.

00:36:00.860 This is like 2006.

00:36:02.580 And I said, hey, next time you're in town, let's get together, have lunch.

00:36:09.460 And he looked at me, this is off air.

00:36:12.100 And he said, are you, are you kidding?

00:36:16.380 And I said, no, why?

00:36:18.000 And he said, it'd be like me having a lunch with a disease.

00:36:24.520 You're a Christian. 0.64

00:36:26.360 And I said, whoa, yes.

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.

00:36:47.200 But he was angry about 9-11.

00:36:49.060 And he had grouped all religious people into one ball.

00:36:53.540 Wow.

00:36:53.880 And through our friendship, you know, of me just being there and, you know, always being his friend, he changed.

00:37:03.680 And he is not preaching the hate and division.

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.

00:37:19.360 Don't try to run them out of the square.

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.

00:37:30.020 A vast majority of atheists.

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.

00:37:47.000 Think about it.

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.

00:37:58.340 So he hopes there's nothing.

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.

00:38:10.640 So he thinks this is perfect, then?

00:38:12.760 No, he just thinks make the best out of it.

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?

00:38:20.120 That's what I would ask him.

00:38:21.100 Yeah, I have asked him that.

00:38:22.100 And I've asked a few of my atheist friends.

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.

00:38:34.180 I agree, but faith is required.

00:38:37.740 Okay, so if I could prove it to you, would you change your mind?

00:38:42.720 That's the question to ask.

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?

00:39:07.980 So we have to answer that the same way.

00:39:09.620 We'd have to be as open-minded.

00:39:10.900 Right.

00:39:11.340 We'd have to.

00:39:12.140 Knowing that no proof on either side would actually ever do it.

00:39:17.980 That's correct.

00:39:18.640 Right.

00:39:19.040 But, yeah, I am.

00:39:21.220 I am.

00:39:22.640 I mean, I look at my faith, you know, people are like, you actually believe in that stuff?

00:39:30.040 You know what? 0.96

00:39:31.060 I'm a recovering alcoholic and, even more important, a recovering dirtbag. 0.98

00:39:35.880 I spent a lot of my life being an absolute dirtbag. 0.90

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. 0.82

00:40:18.240 Yeah.

00:40:18.780 Celebration.

00:40:19.780 You know?

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.

00:40:33.180 But I guess I have to embrace that.

00:40:36.100 Sure.

00:40:36.740 Absolutely.

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.

00:40:45.580 Can't wait.

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.

00:40:57.160 I can't give it to you.

00:41:01.640 And I want our students to look up to you and admire you so much, Ben.

00:41:04.500 That's really nice.

00:41:06.720 And if you could remember my name, I would believe it.

00:41:08.920 I was saying Glenn Beck.

00:41:10.600 I'm kidding.

00:41:11.360 I'm kidding.

00:41:11.860 Relax.

00:41:12.700 Okay.

00:41:13.540 Let me just start on a couple things.

00:41:15.140 First.

00:41:16.560 This is an 1830 engraving of the original Declaration of Independence, the first draft.

00:41:27.940 Wow.

00:41:28.320 Okay?

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.

00:41:36.300 When in the course of human events.

00:41:37.840 Yeah.

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.

00:41:47.640 And so he would write Franklin or Adams.

00:41:50.140 Do you see that?

00:41:50.920 Yeah.

00:41:51.520 Isn't that amazing?

00:41:51.960 So I want you to notice that look through.

00:41:56.320 They scratch stuff out here.

00:41:57.940 I know.

00:41:59.280 There's a lot different in this draft.

00:42:01.280 And this is the first draft.

00:42:02.680 This is the first draft.

00:42:03.280 This is the first pass.

00:42:04.020 Right.

00:42:04.560 And so-

00:42:05.120 Before it got the king's eyes.

00:42:06.240 Right.

00:42:06.440 So before Congress got a hold of it.

00:42:09.160 Okay.

00:42:09.460 This is Franklin.

00:42:11.000 This is Jefferson.

00:42:12.360 Then Franklin and Adams going, okay, I kind of like that.

00:42:15.780 Let's present it to Congress.

00:42:17.100 They presented it to Congress.

00:42:18.440 They talked about it.

00:42:19.320 Now, what does the Declaration of Independence say at the very top?

00:42:23.660 When in the course of human events.

00:42:24.800 No, the very top.

00:42:26.380 Well, I'm going to read this.

00:42:27.540 Is that okay?

00:42:28.060 Yeah, go ahead.

00:42:29.000 A declaration by the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress.

00:42:34.360 All right.

00:42:34.560 So something that did not officially exist.

00:42:36.440 Right.

00:42:36.940 But what does the official, the one that was approved.

00:42:41.300 I don't know.

00:42:43.000 Unanimous declaration.

00:42:45.240 Wow.

00:42:45.600 Okay.

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

00:43:01.880 split us apart one by one and we'll be done.

00:43:04.700 Wow.

00:43:05.000 So is everything have to be unanimous?

00:43:07.800 Yes or no.

00:43:08.760 They all voted.

00:43:09.520 Yes.

00:43:10.220 Jefferson, you go write it.

00:43:11.780 Okay.

00:43:12.540 So I want you to notice that the only words that are capitalized in that.

00:43:16.340 Are United States of America.

00:43:17.800 Okay.

00:43:18.960 Look at.

00:43:19.900 This is incredible, by the way.

00:43:21.380 Look at.

00:43:22.000 Thank you.

00:43:22.620 Look at.

00:43:23.180 Stuff all day.

00:43:23.660 Look at that page.

00:43:25.400 Do you see anything capitalized or printed?

00:43:28.000 Christian.

00:43:28.760 And?

00:43:29.500 Men.

00:43:30.440 Hmm.

00:43:31.740 Now, why, why would, do you notice that that's nowhere else?

00:43:36.040 And it's underlined too.

00:43:37.080 Yeah.

00:43:37.440 There's, it's nowhere else in the document.

00:43:40.140 Wow.

00:43:40.480 He doesn't print anything.

00:43:42.140 Everything is in cursive.

00:43:43.180 He doesn't.

00:43:44.240 His handwriting changes at that point.

00:43:47.260 Okay.

00:43:48.220 You know what that is?

00:43:50.040 That's Thomas Jefferson alone at night writing the first draft.

00:43:55.280 Wow.

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.

00:44:10.460 That's all caps lock, basically.

00:44:12.500 Right.

00:44:12.980 And underlined.

00:44:13.560 In today's time, right?

00:44:14.260 He's mocking.

00:44:15.140 This Christian king has taken a group of people who never offended him from another part of

00:44:24.600 the world.

00:44:25.280 Basically criticizing slavery, maybe, or?

00:44:28.340 Yeah.

00:44:28.960 Because it says bought and sold, right?

00:44:30.480 Right.

00:44:30.980 Put them on a boat if they survived.

00:44:34.020 He sold capital letters, men, on the open market. 0.96

00:44:38.880 Really important because blacks weren't men. 1.00

00:44:42.880 How could Thomas Jefferson write, all men are created? 1.00

00:44:45.380 Oh, he knew.

00:44:46.760 He knew.

00:44:48.000 That's why he, in his own zeal, he, he capitalized men.

00:44:54.420 He sells men on the open market.

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 0.58

00:45:16.820 the people who are trying to set him free. 0.99

00:45:19.440 Wow.

00:45:20.000 Okay.

00:45:21.000 Jefferson didn't understand slavery.

00:45:22.940 The founders didn't include this.

00:45:25.680 Remember, unanimous declaration.

00:45:28.700 Wow.

00:45:29.320 Two states out of 13.

00:45:32.320 Two states said that has to go.

00:45:35.180 Two out of 13.

00:45:37.600 So don't tell me we were built by racists that didn't understand.

00:45:42.000 No.

00:45:42.140 And they understood.

00:45:44.700 They knew.

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.

00:45:53.300 It took 30, 40, 50 years.

00:45:56.520 But the lie of the left is that we're a racist country from our founding.

00:46:01.700 Correct.

00:46:02.720 What else you got here?

00:46:03.660 Let's see.

00:46:04.500 I'll show you this.

00:46:05.260 This is really kind of cool.

00:46:07.080 This is-

00:46:07.520 And we only got a couple minutes because then we got to throw you on stage. 1.00

00:46:09.460 Yeah, so this is handwritten.

00:46:11.460 This is to Caesar Rodney, one of our founders, written by Thomas Jefferson.

00:46:17.860 Just read the last couple of lines.

00:46:20.160 This is incredible.

00:46:20.740 You might recognize that letter.

00:46:24.820 I'm not great at reading cursive.

00:46:26.420 I'm going to confide in you, Glenn.

00:46:28.360 He says, basically, I see the storms.

00:46:31.460 The world entire from the calamity threatened.

00:46:33.880 Yeah, I see storms on the horizon.

00:46:35.140 We are the world.

00:46:35.680 We are the world's.

00:46:36.960 Last hope, and it's loss will be on our heads.

00:46:43.640 God help you and preserve you.

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.

00:46:53.660 We're the world's last great hope.

00:46:55.540 Disneyland.

00:46:56.160 Just quickly, this is the original prospectus for Disneyland.

00:46:59.220 Wow.

00:46:59.980 Hand-colored by Walt.

00:47:01.400 Which was actually Disney World.

00:47:03.140 No, this is Disneyland.

00:47:04.680 In California?

00:47:05.460 Yeah, this is Disneyland.

00:47:06.340 I thought he thought of the-

00:47:07.300 This is in 55.

00:47:07.780 Okay.

00:47:08.320 Was that first in California?

00:47:09.780 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:10.400 He never saw the Florida one be built.

00:47:12.400 Is that right?

00:47:12.960 No.

00:47:13.300 He died before it was completed.

00:47:14.520 Yeah, he died in 66, I think, and that was opened in 72.

00:47:18.120 Amazing.

00:47:18.420 And Epcot was not supposed to be what Epcot is now.

00:47:21.580 You know what this is?

00:47:22.480 Have you ever seen this?

00:47:23.760 No, but it looks Eastern.

00:47:24.680 So, it looks like, if I had to guess, a picture of-

00:47:30.500 Bombers? 0.91

00:47:31.320 Yeah, obviously, from 1940s, probably World War II.

00:47:34.020 Right.

00:47:34.260 Japanese, you know.

00:47:35.380 Japanese.

00:47:35.960 Okay.

00:47:36.420 This American.

00:47:37.640 Okay.

00:47:38.360 On the back, it says, we have a new bomb.

00:47:43.080 So, we were letting people know before we dropped the bomb.

00:47:45.360 Well, only 70 million of these were dropped.

00:47:50.160 Leaflets.

00:47:50.540 Leaflets were dropped from the sky over 11 cities.

00:47:54.680 These are the cities here.

00:47:56.760 And Hiroshima and Nagasaki are two of the cities.

00:47:59.740 And on this, it says, get out of the city.

00:48:02.720 We have more firepower in one bomb than all the bombs we have already dropped in Europe.

00:48:09.120 Get out.

00:48:10.360 Food and water will be scarce.

00:48:12.680 We are not after you.

00:48:14.640 We are after your-

00:48:17.280 Emperor.

00:48:17.380 Emperor.

00:48:18.220 And you-

00:48:18.960 And his imperial ambitions.

00:48:20.240 Not after you.

00:48:21.340 Tell me where that is in history.

00:48:23.300 We don't even know it.

00:48:23.880 Only Israel would do that with the Palestinian Authority. 0.93

00:48:26.200 Correct.

00:48:26.420 And they do.

00:48:27.040 Correct.

00:48:28.060 I have Lincoln's bloody collar in here.
