00:00:00.000 Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
00:00:03.620 We lock the doors, we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can
00:00:07.480 be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
00:00:11.080 It is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what it sounds like.
00:00:15.140 Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of
00:00:19.400 your home into their name, and then once all that happens, they can attempt to take 0.97
00:00:24.220 out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you.
00:00:27.960 The scary part is, like, you don't really know much about this as it's going on.
00:00:31.640 Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
00:00:35.020 And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
00:00:37.780 That's why you need Home Title Lock.
00:00:39.200 They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.
00:00:43.620 So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.
00:00:48.760 Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can get it out, you can knock
00:00:53.560 it out quickly.

00:02:15.580 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:19.500 Glenn Beck is on.
00:02:21.320 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:26.880 It is Monday, and I'm laughing because I'm thinking about how crazy this country is,
00:02:31.260 especially the Democrats, but there is some hope.
00:02:34.040 We, like, had 13 colonies at the very beginning.
00:02:36.360 We have 13 Democrats who are like, uh, we're not communists.
00:02:39.340 I think we should separate ourselves from the communists.
00:02:42.260 Yes, out of how many, Ricky, 259 Democrats, we got 13 that are saying no.
00:02:50.500 no to communism so that's uh it's good we're going to get into that but we're going to start
00:02:55.680 with the socialists uh in europe and uh air conditioning uh it's it's nuts it's absolutely
00:03:03.100 nuts but it'll show you exactly what we're headed for if we don't turn around and uh we'll give you
00:03:08.900 more of that coming up in just a second first let me tell you about relief factor if you've been
00:03:12.720 living with pain and you desperately want to get your life back i'm here to tell you that i not
00:03:16.500 understand firsthand what that's like, but I also may have the answer for some of your pain. It's
00:03:21.040 called Relief Factor. It's worked for me when everything else I tried failed, when my hands
00:03:25.880 would just not work because the pain was so bad. Everything I tried, nothing would break the back
00:03:32.560 of it except Relief Factor. Created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation, the major
00:03:37.480 source of most pain. It has four key ingredients. Each work together as your body fights against
00:03:42.100 the effects of aging, exercise, and everyday living.
00:03:45.700 I take Relief Factor every single day as directed.
00:03:48.580 It has made an enormous impact on the way that I live my life.
00:03:51.940 If you're living with pain, give it a try.
00:03:53.400 See what it can do for you.
00:03:54.680 As America celebrates 250 years of independence,
00:03:57.040 give yourself a chance to reclaim your independence.
00:03:59.460 To commemorate, they have a special price of $17.76.
00:04:04.500 Pursue your happiness.
00:04:05.740 How's that?
00:04:06.660 Pain-free.
00:04:08.340 $17.76.
00:04:09.140 Three-week quick start.
00:04:10.380 Ready for you.
00:04:11.120 ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:12.020 relieffactor.com, 800, the number for relief, 800 for relief.
00:04:17.320 Well, the heat came to Europe this month in a way that it comes every year, early and angry.
00:04:24.620 Boy, what's happening in the Midwest this week, what's happening in Washington, D.C., in New York,
00:04:29.280 it is going to be boiling hot. In Spain, the thermometer hit 111. Britain just lived through
00:04:37.680 the hottest June it has ever recorded. And in France, in a single week, 40 people drown.
00:04:44.580 What does that have to do with the heat wave? Well, they weren't drowning in storms. They were
00:04:52.200 in rivers and lakes and quarries because they were desperate to get cool. And the water was
00:04:57.320 the only relief they could find. So 40 people drown. World Health Organization, yeah, those
00:05:03.600 experts, say heat kills 175,000 people just in Europe every single year. I want you to sit on
00:05:12.520 that number for a second. That's nuts. 175,000 people in Europe every single year die of heat?
00:05:20.520 That can't be true. Well, here's what's really crazy. We know how to prevent most of it,
00:05:27.240 and it's not really a moonshot it's a box in a window that blows cold air what a crazy thought
00:05:37.540 studies say air conditioning cuts heat deaths by as much as 75 percent now listen to this one study
00:05:45.180 this is the lancet it credited uh air conditioning was saving nearly 200 000 older europeans in a
00:05:52.820 single year. 90% of American homes have it. In Europe, one in five. So you would think
00:06:03.020 with bodies piling up that Europe might be going like, you know, we got to get a box in every
00:06:08.400 window. You know, maybe that would be a social program that would be helpful. You'd think that
00:06:14.200 that would be one thing everybody could agree on, but you'd be wrong. Let me take you to some of
00:06:20.860 the things that are happening here um in france let's play um let's play cut two here this is a
00:06:27.820 british mom talking about her child's room her baby's room listen to this us using so much
00:06:34.060 electricity oil and gas is the reason we're in this position in the first place however last
00:06:39.460 summer i was seven months pregnant in the in the summer and this summer i've got an eight-month-old
00:06:45.260 baby and a three-year-old and my baby monitor last night said that both rooms at seven o'clock
00:06:50.380 at night which is their bedtime was 31 degrees and kate like i think you said earlier that the
00:06:55.960 guidance is if the room is 29 degrees or over children under five should not be in them now
00:07:01.900 what do i do where do i put them they have to go to sleep so you put the aircon on so i put the
00:07:07.440 aircon on and it it makes it more manageable but it still wasn't an enjoyable sleep i i struggled
00:07:13.680 to sleep in that and my my little baby is so restless do you leave the aircon on all day
00:07:17.920 Or do you just put it on?
00:07:18.740 No.
00:07:19.120 So I leave it on throughout the night.
00:07:21.140 During the day, I keep the curtain shut.
00:07:24.240 But it is like an oven.
00:07:25.720 And our houses are designed to keep the heat in.
00:07:32.420 So 88 degrees.
00:07:36.180 That's 31 degrees Celsius.
00:07:37.760 It's about 88, 90 degrees.
00:07:39.620 Baby's room, 90 degrees.
00:07:42.440 You wouldn't leave a kid in a car at 90 degrees.
00:07:45.500 but here's what they're telling the people in uh uh in england here's a british climate activist
00:07:53.000 cut one if you can switch your electricity provider to one that's completely renewable
00:07:57.780 or you speak to your mp and tell them that we need to get off oil and gas not allow new giant
00:08:03.680 oil fields like rosebank that they're currently still considering um to go ahead those are the
00:08:08.840 sorts of things that means that we can actually make our grid green and that we can actually
00:08:13.880 have air con without making climate change worse all of that would take a heck of a long time
00:08:18.380 it won't be done by tonight are you saying in the interim you shouldn't have air con you should
00:08:22.480 wait until you can say hand on heart yep it's green energy that's keeping me cool well i think
00:08:27.100 we need we need to be honest about the fact that it has costs right and then when we have when we
00:08:32.780 face these sorts of costs we then need to make a decision well who should we prioritize should it
00:08:36.960 just be someone who fancies being a bit cooler or should we be prioritizing the people who need it
00:08:41.420 people with young kids, people who are elderly,
00:08:43.820 people who have disabilities that mean that they can't call themselves directly. 0.99
00:08:46.880 These people are out of their mind nuts. 1.00
00:08:49.000 They're out of their... 1.00
00:08:49.520 This, by the way, is an MD.
00:08:50.840 This is a doctor.
00:08:52.020 This is a doctor saying these things.
00:08:54.140 Now, here's what's happening in the real world in France.
00:08:57.920 Here's a store.
00:09:00.040 See if we can go ahead and roll this, please.
00:09:01.920 This has got three, I think.
00:09:03.860 This is a store in France.
00:09:08.520 I don't know if they're doing the little piggy thing, but...
00:09:11.280 Wee, wee, wee, all the way home.
00:09:13.880 They are going in and they're just taking the air conditioners.
00:09:21.500 They're just storming in a store as it opens, rushing in a frenzy to grab all of the air conditioners.
00:09:28.620 But they're going to have police at their house because you're not supposed to be using your air conditioners.
00:09:33.480 Once they see your power going up, then you're going to be in trouble with the climate police.
00:09:38.640 Let me take you to another town in France.
00:09:40.540 this one's called Neem. There is a primary school there. Little kids in this primary school.
00:09:46.720 And this spring, the classrooms hit 104 degrees in the classroom. 104. Child fainted. So they
00:09:55.560 started moving the lessons out into the hallways just to find some air that didn't feel like you
00:10:01.080 were in a convection oven. Well, they couldn't find it. Kids come home. The parents do what all
00:10:08.160 parents would do they didn't wait for the government they passed the hat in three days
00:10:13.500 they raised about 2 000 euros they bought five portable air conditioners and put them in the
00:10:18.360 children's school okay problem solved right of course not you're in france the mayor of neem
00:10:26.760 is a communist one of his deputies was honest to tell exactly what happened
00:10:33.300 the mayor of the communist mayor of neem made them take the air conditioners out of the schools
00:10:41.280 and he said it's because it set a precedent because in some neighborhoods parents don't
00:10:47.200 have the means to do the same thing and get their kids air conditioning let me repeat that again
00:10:52.720 the children may not be cool now because there are other children that cannot be cool so take
00:11:00.320 all of the air conditioners out. Everybody sweats together. I just want you to know that's not a
00:11:06.240 glitch. That is the socialist philosophy. That's what it is. You're all going to be miserable.
00:11:14.640 And it's not just France. In London, the borough of Camden, the council told the residents in an
00:11:19.740 apartment building to rip out their air conditioning to comply with net zero. The official
00:11:24.460 advice how to survive the heat wave open your windows open your balcony doors that came from
00:11:32.200 the people who they elected to represent them okay now lay this over everything else that's
00:11:40.600 going on over in in europe and in england the fuel more than half of what the european pays
00:11:47.520 at the pump is tax. In Britain, that's three to four dollars a gallon in tax alone. The price
00:11:56.760 at the pump roughly is double what you pay here. So in some places, it's as high as five dollars
00:12:03.880 a gallon. That's not an accident. That's the policy working as designed. Make the fuel hurt.
00:12:12.360 make cooling disappear pursue net zero and I'm quoting the critics now whatever the cost
00:12:20.320 so even if the cost is a child fainting in the classroom in May even if the cost is 175,000
00:12:29.140 people that die even if it's 40 people that die from drowning
00:12:34.100 this is what it looks like when a country is governed by experts and elites not evil men
00:12:41.240 necessarily clever men credentialed men men with a spreadsheet and a target and the quiet certainty
00:12:48.560 that they understand how you ought to live better than you do and once they have the power to act
00:12:54.060 on it the air conditioning comes out of the window and they'll tell you it's for your own good and
00:12:58.800 for fairness and for the planet here's why i'm telling you this i'm going to give you some stats
00:13:08.240 on what the Democrats,
00:13:09.480 and I'm going to show you some things
00:13:10.520 that happened with the Democrats
00:13:11.640 over the weekend.
00:13:13.300 It is getting terribly frightening.
00:13:15.260 These are not progressives.
00:13:18.480 They are not socialists.
00:13:21.360 They are communists.
00:13:22.640 And the mask is finally fully coming off.
00:13:27.380 This week, at the same time,
00:13:29.520 we're celebrating the declaration.
00:13:32.120 250 years, almost.
00:13:34.300 And I want you to understand
00:13:35.340 exactly what those have been built
00:13:36.800 because it's the exact opposite of what you're seeing happening over in Europe and in England.
00:13:41.780 Our Constitution is a design, a charter of negative liberties.
00:13:46.840 And people say that like it's an insult.
00:13:48.480 Barack Obama used to always say, it's a charter of negative liberties.
00:13:51.100 We need a charter of positive liberties.
00:13:52.520 No, no, no.
00:13:53.500 The whole miracle is that it is a charter of negative liberties.
00:13:58.200 You know, it doesn't hand you a list of the things the government will graciously permit you to have.
00:14:02.860 it hands the government a very short list of things that they can never ever do to you and
00:14:07.940 what they can do. Congress shall make no law, shall not be infringed, shall not be violated.
00:14:15.740 No, no, no, no. That's what our constitution is all about. It puts a leash on the government,
00:14:22.300 not the citizen. That's why no mayor in America can send a man into your child's school and carry
00:14:28.160 the cold air back out the door because some family across town doesn't have it. That's the
00:14:33.100 difference. That's what the Declaration and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that's the
00:14:37.620 whole difference. So this week, celebrate it. Celebrate your rights. Celebrate your responsibilities
00:14:44.260 because a free people must carry both of those things. But celebrate the strange and beautiful
00:14:53.040 thing that those farmers and lawyers did in Philadelphia when they wrote down not what you
00:14:59.460 owe the state, but what the state can never do to you. This is what sets us apart. And don't let
00:15:08.820 anybody ever talk you out of it, but they are the Democrats. It's remarkable what is happening on
00:15:15.820 our streets right now with the democrats and it is waking up some some democrats 13 in congress
00:15:23.320 13 democrats have come out and i want you to hear what they said first you got to hear what was said
00:15:28.580 to them on the streets this week and then what they're saying 13 of them it's a good start we go
00:15:35.520 there in 60 seconds first let me tell you about rapid radios when you're trying to get people to
00:15:39.440 work together on a project good communication isn't just a convenience it is the difference
00:15:43.600 between things running smoothly
00:15:44.980 and everything falling apart,
00:15:46.880 which reminds me,
00:15:48.260 Jimmy, would you remind me to say to my wife,
00:15:50.160 we need to pack the rapid radios with us for this.
00:15:52.640 We're going on a family trip to Washington DC this week
00:15:56.000 and we're all going to be around everywhere.
00:15:58.480 And sure, everybody's got a phone.
00:16:00.500 Did you see my text?
00:16:01.420 Did you see my text?
00:16:02.280 No, I didn't see your text.
00:16:03.720 Everybody gets mad.
00:16:04.680 How come you're not reading my text?
00:16:05.820 Because I'm not staring at my phone the whole time.
00:16:07.980 That's why.

00:17:02.740 Okay, I want to show you what is happening on our streets. And I told you at the very beginning,
00:17:09.500 Remember, from the beginning, I'm talking early 20th century American progressives, and you're seeing it now.
00:17:17.540 Early American progressives, they are actually communists.
00:17:21.360 They liked communism, and they just didn't like the bloody revolution.
00:17:27.480 And so they decided, if we just take it one step at a time, we can get there to this totalitarian state where we have experts running everything.
00:17:36.960 That's the early 20th century American progressive, okay?
00:17:40.860 Now, some people were conned into it,
00:17:43.780 and they're like, no, progressivism just means we love each other.
00:17:46.220 But that is the understanding.
00:17:48.240 And I told you, at some point, you get to a point of breaking. 1.00
00:17:53.940 The system cannot stand when you've mixed them,
00:17:57.820 these two systems of free people, free will, free choice, and communism.
00:18:03.380 Can't.
00:18:03.800 and the masks will start to come off.
00:18:06.740 And I told you before that they would start to come off
00:18:09.020 and they would declare that they were socialism.
00:18:11.740 Yes, I said, this is in 2008, they like socialism.
00:18:15.800 In fact, they don't like capitalism.
00:18:18.920 Now they were all denying this at the time.
00:18:20.840 And I said, you watch, it will happen.
00:18:22.860 And they will start taking apart capitalism
00:18:24.860 and saying socialism is the only answer.
00:18:27.680 The masks would fully come off and say,
00:18:29.800 yes, we're communist, it's got to change.
00:18:33.220 Well, that's where we are now. Now, let me play some audio of what happened over the weekend
00:18:40.620 with some of these communists. Here's Scott Wiener. Now, Scott Wiener is the San Francisco
00:18:49.820 Nancy Pelosi wannabe. He's running for Nancy Pelosi's office. He is as far left as you can go,
00:18:58.100 but he is jewish listen to what happened he was at a trans march listen to this redeem yourself

00:20:04.120 enough look at the vitriol and how they have turned on him this is called a purge this is
00:20:12.020 exactly what communists do all the time they purge they take the people that were with them

00:21:43.940 you right now what they're doing to scott weiner right now will be done to them because weiner 0.95
00:21:51.280 thought he was fine all these people in the trans uh community think they're fine all these people 0.65
00:21:57.440 in the gay community they're now saying palestine palestine they think they're fine just like scott
00:22:02.480 weiner thought he was fine a couple of years ago just like when he was standing with people that 0.61
00:22:08.400 he knew didn't like jews but we can all work together because we have the same goal once they 1.00
00:22:13.260 get enough power, they kill you. So as you're chanting at your dike march, just remember you're 1.00
00:22:24.420 next. You're not at the top of the food chain. You're at the bottom of the food chain and they 1.00
00:22:31.020 will eat you next. Now, where does all this come from? Cheddar. Cheddar is funding a lot of it.
00:22:41.020 We're going to get into that and then make for a full circle back to air conditioning,
00:22:45.600 because I'm just amazed at how people don't understand they'll kill you.
00:22:53.600 The ends justify the means.
00:22:56.300 Get to that when we come back in a minute.
00:22:59.120 Also, Laura Trump is coming up.
00:23:03.220 OK, let me tell you about our sponsor. 0.99
00:23:04.880 It's a burner launcher.
00:23:05.620 Every time you walk out the door, you're gambling on your safety.
00:23:08.080 That's the reality of living in the world.
00:23:09.760 Most days, everything is fine.
00:23:11.020 But none of us gets to choose the day something goes wrong.
00:23:13.580 What we do get to choose is whether we're prepared if it does.
00:23:17.100 That's why I think the Berna launcher makes so much sense.
00:23:19.020 It gives you a way to protect yourself and the people you love without carrying a traditional firearm.
00:23:23.820 It's legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a background check or a permit to purchase.
00:23:27.880 And it fires powerful kinetic and chemical irritant projectiles that can stop a threat from as far as 60 feet, giving you the opportunity to get to safety.
00:23:36.860 Hundreds of thousands of people have already chosen Berna because they wanted another option for professional protection.
00:23:42.000 And it's easy to see why.
00:23:43.820 You can't eliminate every risk in life, but you can't improve the odds when you walk out your front door having a Berna with you.
00:23:49.900 It's a pretty good place to start.
00:23:51.700 Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. 0.97
00:23:53.740 Find the right launcher for your family.
00:23:55.940 Everyone over 18 can use it without a permit or anything else.
00:23:59.800 It's a safe alternative.
00:24:01.380 It's Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. 1.00
00:24:05.020 Get one for yourself.
00:24:06.400 and protect your family and loved ones.
00:24:08.360 Berna.com.
00:24:15.560 This Wednesday night,
00:24:16.840 we destroy the narrative
00:24:18.080 that President Trump hates immigrants.
00:24:20.600 Watch our new Torch special live
00:24:22.120 at 8 p.m. Eastern with Glenn
00:24:23.300 only at torch250.com.
00:24:36.400 I want you to think of the 1979 revolution in Iran.
00:24:57.400 In Iran, it was the communists and the Islamists that gathered together. 0.78
00:25:03.620 And eventually, the Islamists ate the communists. 0.91
00:25:06.400 That's the way it's going to work this time. 0.92
00:25:08.900 Hopefully that won't get to that point because the constitutionalists will win and stop this madness.
00:25:16.420 But let me show you something that was happening in Dearborn, Michigan. 0.89
00:25:19.560 Dearborn, Michigan, there was a huge rally or march for Islam by the Islamists. 0.98
00:25:28.040 And I'm telling you, they are going to eat you, Democrats. 1.00
00:25:32.520 They will eat you.
00:25:33.800 Trust me.
00:25:34.320 and if they don't eat you the communists will eat you how do i know because i know history and so
00:25:41.280 can you all you have to do is read history and learn from it the democratic socialists of america
00:25:47.740 call their new chapter zoran's political home it's in the it's in new york city um that's their
00:25:54.380 words not mine they say america's largest city could not have won without the democratic socialists
00:26:00.700 of america and it's true newsweek got all the minutes and i i these are dozens of internal
00:26:06.300 documents going back to 2021 and it's from the china working group the china working group of
00:26:14.600 the dsa's in international committee and they show a small circle of american activists quietly
00:26:20.720 courting the chinese communist party and calling it anti-imperialism one of them lays out the plan
00:26:27.380 build and i'm quoting a killer two-week itinerary hire locals deepen ties with the parties and
00:26:34.920 quote then were golden so they went they went and they hosted a communist party school where
00:26:42.320 officials urged them to set up official exchanges with the chinese government now it's not what they
00:26:49.000 talked about it's what they agreed not to talk about a code pink founder briefed them and handed
00:26:55.940 them their orders and said, stay out of the weeds. What does that mean? It means don't talk about
00:27:02.300 Taiwan. Don't raise any objections on Hong Kong. Don't mention the Uyghurs. Focus on the points
00:27:09.940 that are, quote, easier to sell. A DSA member nods along with these minutes and wonders aloud
00:27:16.060 whether they should stay even further out of the weeds. Now, think about what's in those weeds.
00:27:20.860 a million people
00:27:22.960 detention camps
00:27:24.920 all of it documented
00:27:27.000 by the United Nations
00:27:28.640 one member looks at that and says
00:27:31.060 the number is exaggerated
00:27:32.180 that it's not a genocide or a
00:27:35.060 holocaust a million people in
00:27:36.880 concentration camps 0.80
00:27:37.740 then they build a slideshow from the trip
00:27:41.020 they took over a photo
00:27:43.140 from one of the cities
00:27:44.840 they write no slaves
00:27:46.560 a woman who speaks perfect
00:27:48.980 english says the reason why i learned it is because i went to a quote training school
00:27:54.840 that's called a concentration camp a mosque where worshipers come and go freely then they went uh
00:28:03.780 to the place the world calls a concentration camp um and they made it into what you would
00:28:09.620 now call a travel brochure now to be fair zoran mamdani is too smart he was not in any of those
00:28:16.900 meetings you know no one had no no meeting no pamphlet has his name on it he stepped back from
00:28:23.200 parts of the national platform but he's barely said a word about china and the minutes don't
00:28:30.280 show crime it's all true but i want you to hold on to that because you can't have it both ways
00:28:35.400 you can't you can't let an organization call you their man say you would have lost without them
00:28:42.080 say city hall is the prize they delivered for you and then go quiet when they when somebody 0.76
00:28:48.200 finally reads what the organization wrote down in a meeting with communist china 0.78
00:28:52.060 the machine that lifts you up is the machine you have to answer for
00:28:57.900 one person one person in all these meetings pushed back said you can't tell people you know
00:29:06.560 their rights have to wait until America is defeated.
00:29:11.960 Said it didn't really sit right with them.
00:29:14.720 The group's answer was not to argue.
00:29:18.360 It was to tell him that he was being unkind.
00:29:20.980 So he apologized and took it back.
00:29:24.420 And that's the whole thing.
00:29:25.740 Not the propaganda.
00:29:27.160 The propaganda you can see coming.
00:29:29.080 It's the silence they enforce on the one honest person in the room.
00:29:34.060 A group that calls itself Democratic.
00:29:36.560 calls itself socialist, says it values diversity and openness, and the second a member asks a
00:29:43.340 question about the rights of human beings in China, he's the problem, and he's the one forced
00:29:49.320 to say, I'm sorry. So when somebody asks who Mamdani's friends are, don't reach for an insult.
00:29:56.140 Reach for the minutes from this. His friends are the people who flew to China and wrote
00:30:01.500 no slaves under photographs who decided a million human beings were a subject best avoided because
00:30:09.460 it's hard to sell who taught each other to stay out of the weeds and i tell you you can build a
00:30:16.060 home for a lot of things politically a lot of things they built theirs on a decision about
00:30:21.500 what they refused to see and the men and women who built that home just handed the keys to the
00:30:26.740 largest city in America, to Zoran Mamdani. That's not an accusation. That's the record.
00:30:34.100 Read it for yourself. Read it for yourself. I want to get to this thing that these 13 brave
00:30:44.260 Democrats did this weekend. I'll get into that a little later on in the program because you have
00:30:51.940 to hear this, but before we leave this hour, I just want to go over these numbers again.
00:30:57.540 You know, across Europe, in an average year, heat kills 175,000 people. That's from the WHO.
00:31:06.840 And then they come out and they say, around the world in a single year, air conditioning is
00:31:11.500 estimated to have saved about 195,000 people, older people, mostly the vulnerable, who would
00:31:16.540 have died in the heat. That's the Lancet. That's not a think tank. That's not me as a talk show
00:31:22.320 host. That's the Lancet. One ordinary machine, a box in a window that blows cold air, is quietly
00:31:29.700 keeping nearly 200,000 grandmas and grandpas above ground every single year. And the experts
00:31:36.860 are deciding now that that machine is the enemy. And they're sending officers to pull it out of
00:31:42.700 windows, and they're telling schoolchildren, you know, you got to open a door. They take the air
00:31:48.340 conditioning out. In France, I just told you that story. All in the name of net zero, in the name
00:31:53.360 of the planet. It means credentialed human beings looking at a number, 200,000 lives saved, and
00:32:01.320 decide carbon mattered more than grandma. That is not loving the earth more than they love money.
00:32:08.520 that is loving the earth more than they love humans more than your mother more than your child
00:32:16.460 so let me ask you a question because i was thinking about how they were taking away air
00:32:21.500 conditioning and i thought wait a minute what about heat because if the question really is
00:32:27.180 about emissions then why only air conditioning because heat causes emissions too and across
00:32:34.200 Europe, the furnace in the basement burns gas and oil directly right there in the house all winter
00:32:41.320 long. That's carbon, real carbon. And in most homes, far more of it than any air conditioner
00:32:48.480 that is sipping off of the grid in August. So why are they not caring about the oil heat in
00:32:56.660 everybody's basement? Where are the officers in January? Where's the man at the door in the dead
00:33:01.620 of the winter telling grandma to rip her boiler out and put on a sweater for the planet i want
00:33:08.100 you to think about this he's not coming he's never going to come come why good question why
00:33:14.320 well two reasons cold kills more europeans than heat does far more so so coming for the furnaces
00:33:23.980 would be a massacre they could never hide they believe they can hide 175 000 deaths from heat
00:33:31.080 this number so it's not about it's not about right or wrong it's just about numbers what can we get
00:33:37.640 away with and two and here this is the real one almost every home in europe has heat heat's
00:33:45.320 universal so you'd have to come for everybody's furnace there would be a revolution by the first
00:33:53.080 tuesday in november but air conditioning only one in five european homes even has air conditioning
00:34:00.100 80% don't. So when you pry the cooling out of the window, you're touching a minority,
00:34:07.460 a small, isolated, politically cheap minority. And it's easy to say it's only the privileged
00:34:13.880 that have air conditioning. It's the easy target. It's the one they can get away with.
00:34:18.820 The reason why I tell you this is because this will tell you exactly what they want to take
00:34:24.480 and where they want to take the rest of us. They're not moving us towards something cleaner
00:34:29.700 and better they're not progressivism is rooted in the word progress and that is a lie because
00:34:38.120 they're moving us backward back past the air conditioner back past the comfort past the you
00:34:44.720 know back back toward the world that that was the world before the industrial revolution
00:34:50.680 when summer was just something the weak didn't survive these people look at two centuries of
00:34:58.280 human beings learning how not to die in the heat, and they call that the problem.
00:35:05.420 I don't know how to describe this other than evil. I mean, I keep coming back to that town
00:35:10.740 in France, Nîmes, primary school, little kids, a classroom, 104 degrees, a kid who passes out,
00:35:20.100 parents who didn't wait for anybody, they just passed the hat, raised the money,
00:35:23.200 bought five air conditioners for their children's school and a communist mayor takes them out
00:35:29.260 his own deputy says it's because they're poor neighborhoods that parents can't afford it so 0.54
00:35:35.680 they can't afford to do the same so you can't have it either
00:35:38.840 wow take it out everybody sweats together isn't that the point i mean that really is the creed
00:35:49.480 in a single classroom, it's never let's lift the poor neighborhoods up. It's always drag the ones 0.93
00:35:57.380 who got ahead back down. That's why when we had healthcare, remember, it was everybody needs to
00:36:04.400 have great healthcare. Everybody has to have great healthcare. But if you did have great healthcare
00:36:10.420 from your employer, it was called a Cadillac tax. You had too good of healthcare. You had healthcare
00:36:17.800 that nobody else could have.
00:36:19.760 Even though you were giving it to your employees,
00:36:22.500 nobody else was using that,
00:36:24.060 and that's too much healthcare.
00:36:25.960 And so, and I know this from experience
00:36:28.520 because I had that Cadillac tax.
00:36:31.440 I had to stop using the healthcare
00:36:33.600 because they made it unaffordable,
00:36:35.520 and then eventually Blue Cross
00:36:37.520 just canceled this program.
00:36:39.420 It was the best healthcare you could buy.
00:36:43.380 They tried to price it out of range
00:36:45.360 when I still paid for it.
00:36:46.680 I was the last company in all of New York
00:36:49.160 that had this Cadillac healthcare.
00:36:52.020 They priced us out.
00:36:53.540 We still kept doing it.
00:36:55.160 And then finally, Blue Cross Blue Shield just canceled it
00:36:58.080 because that's the point of progressivism.
00:37:01.260 You're all going to suffer.
00:37:03.460 The moment one set of parents solves the problem themselves,
00:37:06.600 the premise of we're all going to be better,
00:37:09.440 it all collapses, okay?
00:37:11.620 The premise that only the state can save you
00:37:15.700 becomes the truth so success gets punished over and over again is that what you want
00:37:22.800 when we all sit in the seat in the heat because the state says otherwise it's misery risk
00:37:29.700 redistribution that's it until misery is nice and even and everybody is there churchill saw this
00:37:36.640 he saw this he said it cleaner than i could have ever he said the inherent vice of capitalism
00:37:43.040 is the unequal sharing of blessings.
00:37:45.920 The inherent virtue of socialism
00:37:47.860 is the equal sharing of miseries.
00:37:52.500 Just know, that's not the side effect.
00:37:55.980 That is the product.
00:37:59.060 More in a minute. 1.00
00:38:02.060 Summer has a way of making bad habits 1.00
00:38:05.040 impossible to ignore.
00:38:06.900 You had a leaky faucet
00:38:07.800 that you've been meaning to fix.
00:38:09.060 Well, suddenly,
00:38:10.200 it's driving you absolutely nuts.
00:38:12.180 The air conditioner,
00:38:13.040 that's been making weird noise. Now you're paying attention to it, right? The mattress that you've
00:38:17.400 been sleeping on for far too long. How about that? Well, summer has a way of exposing that as well.
00:38:21.980 You kind of know the routine, right? You wake up too warm. You throw off the covers. Then you wake
00:38:25.300 up again because you're cold. And then you put them back on. And you spend the entire night
00:38:28.820 tossing and turning and adjusting instead of actually sleeping. That's why so many people

00:40:58.480 Glenn Beck will be back after this.
00:41:02.020 You know, it's really important that you learn history.
00:41:28.540 If we don't learn history, we're doomed to repeat it, especially when it comes to socialists and communists. 0.55
00:41:36.760 You know, the Soviet Union, the same thing happened with, I think they were called the Kulaks.
00:41:42.400 They were the peasant farmers, and they were really, really good.
00:41:45.680 In fact, they were too good. 0.98
00:41:47.360 They had a little more, and so Stalin destroyed them, killed them all.
00:41:51.840 Most productive farmers in all of Europe, deported, shot, erased, because nobody can rise above the rest.
00:42:00.480 So everybody's starved by the millions.
00:42:02.840 You know, in Ukraine, they have a name for it.
00:42:04.800 It's called the Holodomor.
00:42:06.580 Millions, seven million died in a year.
00:42:10.500 In China, Mao drove the villages into communes,
00:42:13.840 communes and he had families melt down their own pots and tools in backyard furnaces to hit a
00:42:21.260 steel quota then he outlawed the private kitchen what happened they had no tools nothing to cook
00:42:30.380 food with worst famine in human history millions of dead all in the name of everybody marching
00:42:37.100 forward together. Cambodia, the Karam Rouge did the same thing, took it to the end of the road. 0.73
00:42:44.520 They abolished money. They emptied the cities. And if you wore eyeglasses, if your hands were soft, 1.00
00:42:51.880 if you'd been a teacher or a doctor, that alone would get you killed because it meant you thought
00:42:57.760 you were above everybody else. Quarter of the country died, so the rest could be equal.
00:43:04.260 so when leveling everybody down still wasn't enough to make them stay they built a wall in
00:43:10.140 berlin and shot the ones trying to climb over it because that's what you do and you can't make life
00:43:14.820 better this is this has happened over and over and over again and they all have one thing in
00:43:19.420 common socialism and communism from a wall in berlin to five air conditioners in a french
00:43:26.040 schoolhouse. If they can't raise you up, they'll pull you down. Democrats, run for your lives.

00:44:26.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:32.840 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:35.720 Laura Trump is going to be with us here in just a second.
00:44:38.040 We're going to talk a little bit about what's going on with immigration.
00:44:43.660 The Supreme Court gave the president some big wins last week and the true meaning of immigration.
00:44:49.620 I'm doing a special this Wednesday.
00:44:54.540 Yeah, it's Wednesday. Wednesday night, we're doing one of our live documentaries, and it is really, really, really good.
00:45:02.420 We're taking you to the streets of Manhattan to show you the history of immigration, what it really means, because it's all been distorted.
00:45:11.260 And we can't have any more immigration if we can't get it right.
00:45:16.120 What is immigration actually for? 0.95
00:45:18.900 And meanwhile, they're calling the president, you know, he's just a monster. 0.99
00:45:22.220 He hates immigrants. 0.99
00:45:23.840 The guy has no reason to hate immigrants. 0.96
00:45:27.820 He has no reason.
00:45:28.720 In fact, I'm going to give you some information here that you probably have never.
00:45:32.480 When you hear what happened to President Trump in the 1980s, it'll blow your mind.
00:45:38.660 Because remember, he just hates immigrants so much.
00:45:42.400 We'll talk about that with Laura Trump here in just a second.
00:45:44.540 First, let me tell you about my patriot supply.
00:45:46.020 Every generation has its own version of independence.
00:45:48.600 Our forefathers, you know, throwing off the rule of the king.
00:45:52.680 For most of us today, it's a little more practical.
00:45:54.720 It's making sure that when something goes wrong,
00:45:56.660 you're not completely at the mercy of circumstances that you can't control.
00:46:00.400 Because the truth is, modern life has made us incredibly dependent
00:46:03.720 on things we rarely even think about.
00:46:05.820 But history has a way of reminding us those assumptions don't always hold up.
00:46:09.460 So whether it's a storm and extended power outage
00:46:12.280 or some other unexpected disruption,
00:46:14.500 wear the mask, arguing with me is arguing with science.
00:46:17.400 you know, all those things, make sure you have decided ahead of time that you are going to take
00:46:22.720 a little more responsibility for your own preparedness. That's one of the reasons why
00:46:26.720 I like my Patriot Supply right now. They're celebrating America's 250th anniversary,
00:46:30.620 some of the biggest savings of the year. Preparedness has never been about fear. It's
00:46:34.080 about freedom, the freedom that comes from knowing you and your family are going to be okay. So I
00:46:37.400 want you to go to my Patriot Supply at preparewithglenn.com, preparewithglenn.com. Take
00:46:44.180 advantage of their independence sale it's prepare with glenn.com is laura with us yet
00:46:53.260 oh hi laura how are you laura hello thank you how are things things are good
00:47:01.820 week thank you happy independence week happy birthday america 250 years is pretty solid
00:47:07.080 yeah my family and i we're going we're going to go see the the fireworks in the
00:47:12.220 Lincoln Memorial. I'm going to take him on a tour of the White House and everything else. Some of
00:47:16.940 my family members have never been there, never been to Washington. And it looks better than it
00:47:23.980 ever has. And I'm really excited to see a rodeo on the National Mall. A rodeo, apparently a Ferris
00:47:33.420 wheel. There's going to be a race there at some point with a bunch of crazy fast cars. So there's
00:47:39.640 a lot going on. And by the way, this is the time to go visit our Capitol because it is safer than
00:47:45.460 it's ever been, Glenn. It is more beautiful than it's ever been. The president is restoring the
00:47:50.000 beauty of our nation's Capitol in Washington, D.C. So this is the time to go. I love that you guys
00:47:55.260 are going to have that experience. I mean, I think this is the place to be this summer. It is the
00:48:00.520 vacation that everybody should take. If you can afford a vacation, go to Washington, D.C.
00:48:04.780 So, Laura, I want to talk to you a little bit about, I'm doing a special this Wednesday called The Golden Door from Ellis Island to the White House, where we tell the truth about immigration and what it is really for and how the left has so distorted, you know, the Emma Lazarus poem of, you know, give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.
00:48:25.260 We were never meant to be a hospital. What that means is you come here with an idea. You want to be a part of this American experiment. You can leave the past behind and you can do anything. And one of the examples I use is your father-in-law's parents, his grandfather and his mother. That's an incredible story.
00:48:50.100 It is. And you're right. I think it's really important that we continue to talk about the real immigration situation here in America and the legal immigration.
00:49:01.460 You're right. The left has really distorted what this president has been talking about, really, Glenn, since the day he came down the golden escalators and announced his run for president in June of 2015, which everyone remembers was hysteria.
00:49:14.420 It was pandemonium after Donald Trump tried to acknowledge the fact that there were a lot of people who were coming to our country with bad intentions, who were bringing illicit drugs to our country, who were causing problems, who were bringing crime into America, because somehow we had kind of left what this country had started as, as a country of legal immigrants.
00:49:35.400 and we had phased into a place where we had a lot of just open door policy of you can come here and
00:49:42.000 you don't have to follow the proper process. We are a country of legal immigrants. That is how
00:49:47.100 America was founded. And if you look at the history of the Trump family, if you look at my,
00:49:52.980 you know, personal family's history as well, and I think you can talk to Americans across the
00:49:57.440 country, this is how it started. But we have to have a process and you have to follow the law
00:50:02.240 When you come to America and then, yes, we are the land of opportunity, there's no place on earth that gives you the opportunities and the chance to rise and succeed like America.
00:50:12.280 It's all about how hard you are willing to work and how big you're willing to dream. 0.80
00:50:16.580 And we have to clarify, I think, unfortunately, for a lot of people, the truth about the immigration here in this country.
00:50:22.940 Do you think, and I'm sure he's past it now, but I think in the first term, he had to feel like he was hit in the face with a shovel because of how he was viewed all the time.
00:50:36.520 I mean, I didn't know this.
00:50:38.080 We looked this up.
00:50:39.500 He was one of the first recipients of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1986.
00:50:47.100 He got it the year Rosa Parks, Jackie Kennedy, and Muhammad Ali were given this medal of honor.
00:50:56.460 And somehow or another, I mean, there's the picture of it.
00:50:59.440 That's crazy.
00:51:00.420 He's standing next to Rosa Parks.
00:51:01.920 I didn't know that. That's amazing.
00:51:02.520 That's amazing.
00:51:03.200 Oh, it's incredible how he, the history of, of his family and of immigration. I mean, even, even his wife and somehow or another, he's, he's painted as this guy who just hates immigrants.
00:51:19.480 But if you look back, actually, Glenn, at what so many prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, including Joe Biden, all of these people were saying not so long before Donald Trump came down that escalator.
00:51:34.420 They were all saying the things that Donald Trump has been saying for the past 11 years.
00:51:38.600 And yet, all of a sudden, that's a problem.
00:51:41.380 All of a sudden, you're xenophobic, you're racist if you say those things.
00:51:44.620 No, what we need to talk about is the fact that somewhere along the way, the Democrats decided, wait a minute, our policies are no longer anything that anyone wants to buy into.
00:51:54.520 Our policies are going to be very hard to sell to the American people.
00:51:58.320 And so we need to find another way to keep ourselves on top.
00:52:02.240 We need to find another way to win elections.
00:52:04.340 And I think you look back to about 11 years ago and somebody said, you know what, let's just start letting people come in and let's not really vet people.
00:52:12.000 Let's not follow the law and follow the process that's been in place for so long.
00:52:16.400 Let's just let people in and we won't really talk about it.
00:52:19.840 We'll just do it and we'll hope that these people become Democrat voters and vote for
00:52:23.860 us in perpetuity, which we all have to assume was the whole goal and the whole plan of all
00:52:28.980 of this.
00:52:29.360 The problem is that it has absolutely wreaked havoc on our country.
00:52:33.320 The problem is that you had 100,000 Americans a year dying from fentanyl overdoses. 0.98
00:52:38.000 The problem is that you had foreign gangs taking over apartment complexes, and we all know the 0.92
00:52:43.880 issues and the crime that resulted as, you know, we had this illegal immigration crisis throughout 0.62
00:52:50.060 the tenure of Joe Biden's presidency. So Donald Trump called it out day one when he announced
00:52:54.700 his run for president. You're right. They have distorted it completely. And again, if you look
00:52:59.640 back 12, 15 years ago, a lot of prominent Democrats were saying exactly what Donald Trump is today.
00:53:05.320 isn't it incredible how they've tried to flip the script so the left had a meltdown last week
00:53:12.380 on tps uh from the supreme court an absolute meltdown what part of uh immigration is not a
00:53:20.120 suicide pact do they not understand it's it's really crazy and then you see you know uh people
00:53:28.320 like zoran momdani the mayor of new york city saying oh i'm not even gonna i'm not gonna go
00:53:33.500 along with what the law says. I'm not going to abide by what the Supreme Court has just ruled.
00:53:38.780 And you it's so crazy. It's so counterintuitive. If you apply even a little bit of common sense
00:53:44.900 to this, if you're incentivizing people to come here, if you are a major leader in this party,
00:53:50.460 which sadly we have to call someone like Zora Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, a socialist, 0.65
00:53:55.640 a major leader in the Democrat Party, that's how far left these crazy people have become.
00:54:00.340 But if you are advocating for people to break our laws, to come here, and then you're saying,
00:54:04.740 oh, on top of that, I'm going to flagrantly violate the law, and I'm going to incentivize
00:54:09.440 you to come here. We know they've been giving them debit cards full of cash. They've been
00:54:14.140 giving them places to stay. Look at how much of the New York City budget has gone to taking care
00:54:19.160 of illegal immigrants. It is insane to me. It is totally crazy. The Supreme Court has made a ruling 0.99
00:54:25.620 the temporary protective status cannot stand. The Trump administration has been incredible
00:54:31.160 at what they have done in protecting our country's borders. You have not had a single
00:54:36.860 illegal immigrant released into the interior of the homeland of the United States of America
00:54:42.240 in, I think it's about a year, Glenn, and we've had the most secure border under this president
00:54:47.860 we've ever had. We're finally getting handle on this disaster that has ensued because of the
00:54:53.320 Democrats, and then the Supreme Court makes an even further ruling on it, and everybody melts
00:54:58.680 down, and they don't want to abide by it. It's crazy, and I hope that it's exposing how far these
00:55:04.500 folks on the left are willing to go, how they don't care about our laws. They don't care about
00:55:08.740 what's best for Americans or our communities. They're just willing to do whatever they think
00:55:13.340 is going to be politically advantageous for them. There are two stories that point this out and make
00:55:19.240 this true, let me give you the first one. I'd love to hear your comment on this. Last week,
00:55:23.500 the president wrote, the communists are finally making their move. It's beyond socialist now.
00:55:28.880 Socialist is almost a joke to these people. The communists are finally making their move. I've
00:55:33.740 been waiting and preparing for a long time. The game is on. Enjoy watching President Donald J.
00:55:40.560 Trump. Any idea what that means? I mean, it makes me tingly inside. It makes me happy.
00:55:49.240 but I'm wondering what that means. Well, look, I think you've seen such a champion for America,
00:55:55.720 such a patriot in Donald Trump. He's a person who I think has tried to revive the American spirit.
00:56:03.320 And at the core of who we are as a country, it's the antithesis of communism, right? We are a
00:56:09.380 country of buying for the people. We are founded on capitalism, one nation under God. All of these
00:56:15.980 ideas that you do have to call them just communists at this point, because that's what they
00:56:20.640 ultimately want to see happen. They wanted to fundamentally transform America. How do you do
00:56:24.720 that? You turn us into a communist country. These kind of policies have never worked anywhere in
00:56:30.180 the world. They have been tried. And so Donald Trump, as a staunch defender of our freedoms and
00:56:35.360 of who we have been at the core of the American spirit, sees something like that. And I would
00:56:43.360 love to know what it means as well but here's what i can tell you he's not going to hold back
00:56:47.600 he's going to call these people out every single day and he's going to make sure that whether it's
00:56:52.280 on truth social on x in a presidential address i am sure that there will be far more to come from
00:56:58.640 this president america can never be a socialist or communist country one last thing because you
00:57:04.700 know you are the head of the gop now and and i want to know about uh yeah i want to hear your
00:57:10.580 response to the promise to america 13 democrats and thank god i mean that's very few but you know
00:57:17.140 we started with 13 colonies so why not um 13 democrats have come out i know i know there
00:57:24.780 weren't 257 other colonies but i digress um uh the 13 colony or the 13 democrats have come out
00:57:32.220 and they said their promise to america we're capitalists we're not socialist they they come
00:57:37.820 out with things that honestly sound exactly like Ronald Reagan is, I mean, they're going to be
00:57:44.600 eaten by their own party, whether it's before or after the election, I'm not sure. But at least
00:57:52.460 some have woken up. Is this a ploy just for the election? Or do you think this is actually some
00:57:59.860 Democrats waking up and going, oh, dear God, we're in trouble? I think the more centrist,
00:58:05.660 moderate Democrats are in full panic mode and they should be. What happened with Joe Biden as
00:58:11.040 president, and maybe we should put that in air quotes, Glenn, because we don't really know what
00:58:14.840 the hell was going on, right? We know it was the auto pen who was signing a lot of documents and
00:58:19.000 things for Biden. With Joe Biden at the top of the Democrat party, they had a full vacuum
00:58:24.440 and they had no real leader and they had no real direction. And so what did that lend itself to?
00:58:29.340 It led to where we are right now, where you have these socialists and communists fully taking over
00:58:34.020 the party. And we used to laugh about this. And we used to say, oh, these ideas are crazy. These
00:58:38.340 are silly. This is insane. Look at what's happening. Look at these socialists winning 1.00
00:58:42.280 primaries across America. That is very serious. So I do think that there are a few, at least,
00:58:48.500 reasonable Democrats left out there, the John Fettermans of the world, who see this sort of
00:58:52.640 thing and they're like, oh my God, this is the new party and this is the face of our party. And
00:58:57.980 they don't want to see that happen. It is abysmal, by the way, that only 13 of them could muster up
00:59:03.460 the courage to sign something that had to do with common sense and capitalism. America,
00:59:09.500 take notice. This is the new Democrat Party. They're socialists and communists. If only 13
00:59:15.120 of them could figure that out. But I do think that this is a moment Americans need to take
00:59:20.780 very seriously. Look, 2024, we saw record turnout, right? We saw people very enthusiastic about
00:59:26.100 getting out to vote in that election because it really felt like the country was on the line. We
00:59:30.240 had four years of Joe Biden destroying America and the Democrats, you know, just running us in
00:59:35.380 the wrong direction. Think about the idea of socialists and communists taking seats in our
00:59:41.520 United States Congress, Glenn. Americans need to get out and vote in these midterm elections
00:59:46.800 with the same enthusiasm, the same vigor, and the same thought that we need to save our country as
00:59:53.360 we had in 2024. Because don't kid yourself, if these people take control of things, we know
00:59:59.480 that they have been clear about what they want to do, pack the Supreme Court, eliminate the
01:00:04.020 filibuster, D.C. and Puerto Rico get statehood. They want to put themselves in a position to be
01:00:09.040 in power in perpetuity forever. Think about how dangerous that is for America and think about
01:00:14.080 their policies, not just implemented in places like Seattle and New York, all across America.
01:00:18.980 We need to take these midterms seriously. And I think if we expose these people for who they are
01:00:23.780 and encourage Americans to get out and vote like 24, we can be successful.
01:00:28.840 The former Republican National Committee co-chair and host of My View, Laura Trump.
01:00:34.240 Laura, it's always good to talk to you.
01:00:35.560 Thank you.
01:00:35.920 My best to your family and happy Independence Week.
01:00:37.320 Thank you, Glenn.
01:00:38.320 Happy Independence Week.
01:00:39.240 You bet.
01:00:40.200 Thank you.
01:00:41.980 By the way, this special is coming out on Wednesday.
01:00:45.940 It is going to be a live documentary.
01:00:47.640 It is really, really good.
01:00:50.580 The story of America's immigration, unlike you've ever heard it told before.
01:00:56.000 We're going to open it up.
01:00:57.760 Jason and I are going to open it up live from Washington, D.C.
01:01:01.360 Then we're going to go into the documentary, which will take you all over and all through history.
01:01:06.760 It is so good.
01:01:08.240 You're going to learn stuff you've never, you've never.
01:01:10.600 And you're going to be able to defend our borders.
01:01:14.260 And you're going to be able to understand what immigration policy is, why it's important, and be able to defend it.
01:01:21.200 Watch your family.
01:01:22.040 Watch it with your family because it's a great history lesson.

01:01:58.060 Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
01:02:02.440 Ever notice how the best businesses usually make the hardest jobs look easy?
01:02:06.760 You walk into a great restaurant, the food arrives on time, staff sees it.
01:02:10.040 It seems exactly like they know what they're doing and everything works.
01:02:13.580 What you don't see is all the planning that makes that possible.
01:02:16.240 The same thing is true of running most businesses.
01:02:18.260 The smartest business owners won't wait for a problem before they start thinking about a problem.
01:02:24.160 That's why they have insurance.
01:02:25.740 They make sure they have the right protection so they can stay focused on serving their customers instead of worrying about what if, what if, what if.
01:02:33.280 I mean, what if could come along?
01:02:34.700 Are you prepared?
01:02:35.740 That's what I like about SuperSure.
01:02:36.920 They make business insurance really simple.
01:02:38.900 They give you one dedicated point of contact instead of bouncing you through phone trees.
01:02:42.940 And they provide an easy-to-use dashboard that helps keep track of everything in one place.

01:03:23.980 Watson versus the Republican National Committee.
01:03:26.640 The Supreme Court just came out 5-4.
01:03:29.240 Roberts, what a surprise, and Barrett sided with the Dems.
01:03:32.160 The Supreme Court ruled that states like Mississippi can still count certain mail-in ballots that arrive a few days after the election day,
01:03:40.040 rejecting the GOP challenge to Mississippi's law for late-arriving ballots
01:03:44.460 as long as they were mailed and postmarked by Election Day.
01:03:49.280 This is why we need the Save America Act.
01:03:52.740 Also, the Supreme Court lets $5 million sex abuse verdict stand against Trump.
01:03:59.420 President Trump had asked the justices to intervene
01:04:01.680 after a jury found that he had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll.
01:04:06.280 Supreme Court Monday declined a request by the president to review the $5 million civil judgment against him.
01:04:13.180 And the court has denied Trump's effort to remove federal government Lisa Cook.
01:04:17.120 This is not a good day.
01:04:18.340 This is not a good day coming out of the Supreme Court.
01:04:22.840 But it is what it is.
01:04:25.100 So Mississippi, as long as it's postmarked by Election Day, that's the only saving grace there.
01:04:30.800 uh trump has got to pay the five million dollar sex abuse uh verdict which is absolutely that
01:04:39.280 that's criminal that is criminal and the effort to remove the fed uh governor lisa cook wolf
01:04:45.320 he doesn't if they don't work for the president who do they work for oh i know that private
01:04:51.860 corporation called the fed which should be abolished ricky quickly we've got a couple of
01:04:57.240 seconds why do we need to stack the court right that's what we have to do quick everybody stack
01:05:06.240 the court stack that that's what they would be saying thank god we're not all right let me tell
01:05:13.500 you about um rapid radio some of the best tools you'll ever buy are the ones that end up becoming
01:05:18.100 part of your everyday life you buy them for one specific reason and before long you find yourself
01:05:22.540 reaching reaching for them all the time that's why people love things like pocket knives and
01:05:26.620 flashlights or a really good multi-tool. Once you have one, you wonder, how did I ever get along
01:05:31.440 without it? And I think rapid radios fits that description perfectly. Maybe you buy them for a
01:05:36.580 family vacation or a hunting trip or to help coordinate things around your property. Then
01:05:41.380 you start using them for events and road trips and work projects or just keeping everybody in
01:05:46.040 touch without having to dig a phone out of your pocket every five minutes. They've been awesome
01:05:51.920 for me and my team.
01:05:53.480 I use them at the ranch.
01:05:54.700 We're going to use them on vacation next week

01:08:33.600 It's going to be in this hour, and you do not want to miss it.
01:08:36.760 It is a great story, and I've been working a week on the research on this.
01:08:42.780 But today I just want to show you something that we just got.
01:08:46.200 I just won this in auction for our museum.
01:08:51.800 Tanya and I bid on this this weekend or this last Friday.
01:08:56.540 It's an amazing, amazing document.
01:08:59.800 You know, the Declaration of Independence is such a great story.
01:09:04.520 But, you know, the war started long ago.
01:09:07.640 And this is a document.
01:09:10.880 And it's on paper.
01:09:12.040 It's 13 1⁄2 inches by 8 1⁄2.
01:09:14.800 And up in the left-hand corner right here, or the right corner, is pressed to bind the fiber together.
01:09:22.620 No ink.
01:09:23.160 It's just a clear, clean bite into it.
01:09:25.480 And it's a seal of Rhode Island.
01:09:26.860 And it just has the word hope on it, which I love.
01:09:30.340 Hope.
01:09:31.260 At the bottom, two signatures.
01:09:32.880 One is Nicholas Cook.
01:09:34.580 He is the governor.
01:09:35.420 And at the right is Ward, Henry Ward.
01:09:39.160 He was the secretary.
01:09:40.020 and between the seal and this is a commission
01:09:46.280 and its authority granted two men
01:09:49.300 to go and act in the name of the people of Rhode Island
01:09:52.620 and the date is the 6th of May, 1776
01:09:56.460 and here's what they don't tell you about that date
01:09:59.200 the war was already a year old
01:10:02.820 we've told this story to ourselves
01:10:05.300 we say the Declaration of Independence is what started it
01:10:07.580 But it wasn't the 4th of July or the 2nd of July, you know, a continent of farmers standing up declaring themselves free and then go fetch your muskets.
01:10:15.980 That's not what happened.
01:10:17.320 By the time the Declaration of Independence, the ink was dry, we had already been at war for 13 months.
01:10:26.460 Blood was a year dry already.
01:10:28.660 You have to go back to the 19th of April in 1775, the Lexington Green and the Concord Bridge, the shot heard around the world.
01:10:36.320 It had already been fired.
01:10:37.580 and men had already fallen face down in the spring grass.
01:10:42.240 Two months after that, the 17th of June,
01:10:45.480 they fought at Breed's Hill above Boston
01:10:47.780 until the powder ran out,
01:10:49.420 and the British took that hill
01:10:51.040 but left 1,000 of their own on its slope.
01:10:54.140 So by the spring of 1776,
01:10:56.640 American boys have already been a year in the ground.
01:10:59.260 Mothers had already received the word.
01:11:01.020 Pine boxes already were lowered, covered over,
01:11:03.840 and the soil was already separated,
01:11:05.620 and the grass was starting to grow again.
01:11:07.580 The king's soldiers were not a threat on the horizon.
01:11:11.840 They were already here.
01:11:13.380 Regiments on American soil, warships riding in and posting anchor in American harbors.
01:11:20.100 Everybody could see this out their kitchen window.
01:11:23.020 The most powerful force on the face of the earth was not coming.
01:11:26.780 It was already here.
01:11:28.420 So understand what these guys were in Rhode Island were doing with this document.
01:11:34.940 They were not picking a fight.
01:11:36.580 The fight had already picked them.
01:11:39.020 It was already here.
01:11:40.400 They'd already buried their sons.
01:11:41.720 What they were doing was harder
01:11:42.920 because this is the thing that we have forgotten
01:11:45.280 and the whole heart of it.
01:11:47.060 These were loyal men.
01:11:48.420 They did not want to leave for a year.
01:11:50.980 In fact, years.
01:11:52.300 The American colonists had clung to a single stubborn,
01:11:55.500 I think desperate hope.
01:11:57.740 The hope that the king would finally see them.
01:12:00.900 That George III would finally look across the ocean and go,
01:12:03.940 oh man, these are my people.
01:12:05.200 They're not rebels.
01:12:05.780 They're not rabble rousers.
01:12:07.400 They're not some lesser breed to be managed or taxed or garrisoned, but they're my loyal subjects.
01:12:15.060 They're English, Englishmen, loyal, asking only for the rights that any Englishman was born holding.
01:12:22.560 And just before the Declaration of Independence in the summer of 1775, so a year before, we sent out what's called the Olive Branch Petition.
01:12:31.380 It was after Bunker Hill, after the dead had already been counted.
01:12:34.620 but even then with the war begun they wrote to their king and said please we're still yours
01:12:41.960 stop this hear us please he wouldn't even take this olive branch into his own hands he would
01:12:47.720 he wouldn't receive it he didn't read it instead he stood up and he said they're in open rebellion
01:12:53.140 and then he went further he signed a law that cut the colonies uh out of his protection entirely
01:13:00.520 declared all of their ships fair prize sent foreign soldiers the hessians mercenaries hired
01:13:06.740 guns to come across the sea and bring his own people to heal kill his own people that was the 0.66
01:13:12.040 answer not hand extended a fist foreign bayonets paid by him to drive it home and that not the
01:13:21.300 dead at lexington not the smoke over boston that was the thing that finally broke the cord because
01:13:26.280 a war you can survive a war you can even forgive at the end of it if the man on the throne looks
01:13:32.160 at you and finally calls you his own but but this this told them the truth that they had spent a
01:13:38.280 year refusing to believe that the king was never going to see them as people so he he had made up
01:13:43.480 his mind across the ocean and he would sooner hire strangers to kill them than sit and hear them
01:13:48.640 so the declaration of independence was not the beginning of anything
01:13:52.540 it was the surrender of this little word up here in this document hope it was the moment loyal
01:13:59.440 people finally in grief let go of the king's hand not because they stopped loving the idea of him
01:14:05.880 because they finally understood he's never going to love us back now look at the date on this page
01:14:11.860 again the date on this page is the 6th of may 1776 why is that important because two days earlier the
01:14:18.880 4th of may that little colony of rhode island had become the first to make it actually official
01:14:24.960 they struck the king's name out of all of their oaths they crossed the crown out of all of their
01:14:31.100 laws the smallest colony on the map let it go first and stepped off alone and then two days
01:14:38.280 after committing that treason they sat down and wrote this order for two delegates to ride to
01:14:44.120 philadelphia to finish to take in the words on the page all such measures that shall be thought of
01:14:51.120 best for promoting the welfare of the united colonies it's a blank check written against
01:14:57.560 their own necks in the middle of the war they were losing and the first man it named uh was old
01:15:03.520 stephen hopkins stephen hopkins he had been in the fight for a while but he had palsy uh in his uh
01:15:12.800 in his hand. So his hand, when he signed things, you look at the Declaration of Independence and
01:15:17.420 you'll see his name and it's so shaky. He could barely write. And when it came to his time at the
01:15:22.600 table to sign the Declaration of Independence, he reached across with his left hand and gripped his
01:15:28.340 trembling right. And so he could steady his hand somewhat and sign it. And he said, my hand
01:15:34.160 trembles but my heart does not the second guy on this was new and he was only there because of a
01:15:43.240 fresh grave Samuel Ward he was the delegate from Rhode Island the other delegate he had gone down
01:15:48.580 to Philadelphia caught smallpox and died of it on in like on the 26th of March and the war was on
01:15:55.360 the seat was suddenly empty at the worst hour to leave it empty so they reached for William Ellery
01:16:00.180 He was a lawyer in Newport, Rhode Island, and he's the guy, they put this paper in his hand, and then he went down, and he fought for the Declaration of Independence, and he didn't flinch. He didn't flinch. He went straight to grinding out this revolution, and it was pretty amazing what he had done.
01:16:26.180 what he had done. When he signed the declaration, he signed it so large, it's only second in size
01:16:36.840 to Hancock's. And Ellery knew exactly what his signature was. He knew that that was a noose at
01:16:42.800 the end of that sentence. So as the delegates came forward one by one, if you see the painting of
01:16:47.720 them, you will see Ellery standing back behind. He was watching every man. He said he wanted to
01:16:53.420 watch every man's face as they signed their own death warrant um and he said i wanted to see
01:16:59.940 if they were sincere or not see if any man would break as he put his face as he put his uh hand to
01:17:07.460 the declaration of independence and he said he stood there and he looked at face after face after
01:17:12.480 face and he said afterwards all i saw was undaunted resolution none of them flinged all of them were
01:17:22.240 ready for war. These were men who had already buried their own, men who had begged the king
01:17:29.040 and had been answered with mercenaries, and they signed anyway. This room, to get into this room,
01:17:39.960 which was locked and sealed tight, this was your ticket. This is what bought you a seat in that
01:17:47.580 room. To hold this thing 250 years later, to have it in my own hands is amazing. The
01:18:03.440 days of 4th of July, 2026, the king is gone. He's a footnote. The empire is gone, but
01:18:10.440 the paper survives. 0.97
01:18:16.180 The men don't.
01:18:18.680 This paper has outlived the men who carried it.
01:18:21.560 But the paper
01:18:22.560 still asks this one
01:18:24.260 question.
01:18:28.320 The only one that really mattered.
01:18:31.280 You don't get to
01:18:32.340 choose when the storm comes.
01:18:35.280 It's already here
01:18:36.540 just as it was in their day.
01:18:38.360 It's in the harbor. It's in the field.
01:18:40.440 you only get to choose
01:18:44.340 are you going to stand
01:18:46.460 inside the storm
01:18:47.640 the seat
01:18:50.480 at today's table
01:18:51.760 is still warm
01:18:53.320 but it has your name on it now
01:18:55.980 what remains
01:18:58.620 to be seen
01:18:59.400 is what you will

01:21:28.080 and national pride and they have come out with their promise to america and i think you know i
01:21:34.420 was talking to laura trump about this earlier i think this might just i i hope it's not just a
01:21:39.620 ploy for the election i hope these at least 13 are sincere but only 13 out of 257 um and here's
01:21:48.740 are promised to america we're not cap where we are capitalists we're not socialists we want safety
01:21:55.520 not lawlessness we are responsible not reckless we believe government should solve problems not
01:22:03.420 create them this is great this sounds like ronald reagan um we are mainstream and not extreme we
01:22:11.280 believe americans can disagree without division we stand for moderation acceptance respect free
01:22:16.720 expression and democratic pluralism we embrace politics of persuasion over purity contempt and
01:22:23.320 cultural division where were these people and we are proud and not ashamed of america you know this
01:22:31.620 is the democratic party that people think they're in right now a lot of democrats think that that's
01:22:38.680 what their party is. You had 13 come up. If that's what the party was, there would be 259 or
01:22:48.780 57 of them. No, there were 13 of them that gathered together this weekend to sign this
01:22:57.960 document and make that promise to America. That's remarkable. That is absolutely remarkable.
01:23:07.780 and you know we had 13 colonies we have 13 democrats that still believe in it so that's
01:23:14.660 nice i guess but uh maybe that's just me i i please when you hear about these guys um
01:23:24.660 you know don't badmouth them welcome them welcome them back into sanity because
01:23:31.480 if they are sincere they're not going to be lasting long in the in the democratic party they

01:23:42.440 either vote him out or they'll eat him uh i mean if you saw what's happening but these are american
01:23:50.060 principles that i want those things too i'm not a socialist i'm a capitalist i want safety not
01:23:55.260 lawlessness i'm responsible not reckless i believe government you know doesn't solve problems it
01:24:02.260 creates them. I'm mainstream, I'm not extreme, and I'm proud of America, not ashamed.
01:24:09.280 Every American, but only 13 Democrats in Congress, could actually sign this.

01:25:01.880 We get fired up during the campaign season.
01:25:03.860 We volunteer, we donate, we vote.
01:25:05.700 And then when the election is over, we go back to our lives and assume the people we elected will handle the rest.
01:25:10.180 How's that working out for us?
01:25:11.500 The other side never stops.
01:25:12.680 They don't take years off.
01:25:13.840 They don't wait for the next election cycle.
01:25:15.360 They understand that culture is shaped every day by the institutions, organizations, and businesses that receive our support.
01:25:21.920 And that is one of the reasons I talk to you about Patriot Mobile so often.
01:25:24.980 Yes, they provide excellent wireless service.

01:26:47.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program
01:26:52.300 Glenn Beck is on
01:26:56.980 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad that you are here.
01:27:02.620 This is Independence Week. We're going to be doing a lot on the Declaration of Independence and our nation's history this week.
01:27:09.480 Beginning tomorrow, every hour, hour number two for the rest of the week will all be about the writing and signing about the Declaration of Independence.
01:27:18.920 And I've done a week's worth of research on it. I've really worked hard on this. I've learned so much in researching it.
01:27:25.720 I'm so excited to tell you the true story of how we came to be America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
01:27:34.940 That begins on tomorrow's program, hour number two.
01:27:38.060 You don't want to miss it.
01:27:39.200 Today, I have a dear friend on, John Irwin.
01:27:42.120 He is a director, a producer, a screenwriter.
01:27:45.600 He is the founder-in-chief of The Wonder Project, which is playing such an important role in changing what we see.
01:27:58.380 You know, I don't know about you, but I mean, there's nothing really worth anything, any time.
01:28:04.740 I used to see movies every single week.
01:28:07.240 I never missed a week without going to see a movie.
01:28:10.620 I am a movie fiend.
01:28:12.620 I love it.
01:28:13.280 So does my wife.
01:28:14.820 Every Friday, our whole marriage up until COVID, we would go see movies.
01:28:18.840 And it would get dicey on some weeks.
01:28:21.100 You'd be like, okay, there's nothing to see.
01:28:22.580 We don't do that anymore.
01:28:23.900 We just, there's nothing to see.
01:28:25.120 I saw a movie three, four weeks ago, and I watched it online because it was Young Washington.
01:28:39.100 It is the story of George Washington growing up, and it's done by my friend John Irwin, and it is really good and accurate.
01:28:48.600 You're going to love this movie.
01:28:50.300 So make a plan to see it.
01:28:52.580 The love letter, I think, Irwin's love letter to America, Young Washington.
01:28:58.380 I have John with us.
01:28:59.680 He's going to talk about it, how it came about, and if there's any plans for more Washington stories, but we'll see how this one does, I guess.
01:29:07.000 John Irwin joins me in just a second.
01:29:08.800 First, let me tell you about American financing.
01:29:10.480 Financial peace of mind isn't just about how much money you have, it's how many options you have.
01:29:16.080 When every dollar you earn is already spoken for, life begins to feel a little smaller.
01:29:20.820 Every unexpected car repair becomes a crisis.
01:29:23.200 A home project gets put off for another year.
01:29:25.200 An opportunity comes along, but you can't take advantage of it because your monthly payments have already made the decision for you.
01:29:30.700 That's why I've been telling you about American financing, their smart equity loan.
01:29:34.520 If you're carrying high interest credit card debt, get out of it.
01:29:38.440 Easier said than done, I know.
01:29:39.860 But if you have a mortgage for your house right now, you have all that equity in there.
01:29:44.400 And I know you don't want to touch that low mortgage rate.
01:29:47.600 You might have an amazing mortgage rate on your house.
01:29:51.820 Don't touch that.
01:29:52.800 Leave it alone, okay?
01:29:54.340 This is a place where you can go American Financing and get some help on that high interest
01:30:00.820 debt without touching your first low mortgage rate.
01:30:04.800 Do it now.

01:30:28.200 john erwin welcome to the program then good to see you man it's it's uh it's been a while it's
01:30:35.580 great to it's great to be uh among friends i remember being on your show release week of a
01:30:41.840 film for i can only imagine many years ago and uh and dennis quaid was on and we had lost him
01:30:48.180 in the arctic he was filming with like a bunch of polar bears or something and he in the middle of
01:30:52.700 the night so right before i got on the segment i hear like we've lost dennis in a town there's
01:30:57.780 more polar bears than people. And so I'm like, I'm going to go on and stall with Glenn and you're
01:31:02.200 going to find Dennis Quaid in the Antarctic. And they did. And they did right before we came out
01:31:05.860 of commercial break. So, so I have many memories. He had to go back. Yeah, I know he had to go back
01:31:11.280 inside because he had to get his gun, I think, because they wouldn't allow him to be outside
01:31:15.720 without his gun. It was crazy. Anyway, to get service, he had to be like risk his life with
01:31:21.060 polar bears. I digress. Anyway, many, many great memories with you, man. I remember this has got
01:31:27.340 to be 15 years ago we first talked and we talked about the problem with hollywood and that you
01:31:31.900 were setting out and you were going to change hollywood and it was hard at that time it was
01:31:36.660 really really hard for anybody on a conservative side to be able to do it and i have to tell you
01:31:43.100 john i watched your movie young washington with such pride and admiration for you on all that
01:31:48.560 you've accomplished and how good of a director and a producer and a and a screenwriter you have
01:31:53.660 become. It's a great story and a great movie. Congratulations. Thank you so much. We share
01:32:00.380 the obsession for Washington. I read many books on Washington, including yours. And I just wanted
01:32:07.900 to write a kind of a love letter to the country for our 250. And it's the only film in theaters
01:32:13.900 nationwide that celebrates American history as we go into the 250. And it's one of those things
01:32:21.100 I'm just grateful to the audience because, you know, the audience just keeps shocking Hollywood.
01:32:26.980 And that allows us to do more and have more, have larger budgets.
01:32:31.640 And so it's not easy.
01:32:34.260 The lead, I created the show House of David that airs on Amazon.
01:32:37.580 And the lead of that show, Michael, he gave me this ring.
01:32:39.880 It says, seek discomfort.
01:32:42.140 And I believe in that as a way of life.
01:32:44.140 So sometimes we say pain is temporary, film is forever.
01:32:46.860 So it's been a hard road, but incredibly fulfilling one.
01:32:49.560 And I'm just so grateful for the audience.
01:32:51.100 for supporting the work, and that's what gets these films made.
01:32:56.400 Is it out now?
01:32:58.380 It comes out on Friday going into the 4th of July weekend.
01:33:02.740 So it's, I mean, talk about the perfect date for a movie about Washington.
01:33:08.400 It releases on the 4th of July weekend on our 250th anniversary,
01:33:12.660 and so we're very grateful.
01:33:14.780 It's in theaters nationwide, working with Angel Studios to release it.
01:33:19.200 And so, look, we've always said your movie ticket is your vote.
01:33:22.200 And it's more true now than ever.
01:33:24.740 We really want to do more of these stories.
01:33:28.240 We want to do more stories on the life of George Washington.
01:33:31.420 We want to do more stories on the founding of America.
01:33:34.800 And I just know when I took the time to read a lot of books on the founding of the country,
01:33:40.760 the story is unbelievable, first of all.
01:33:43.880 As you know, it lives up to the hype.
01:33:46.580 and you're just filled with a sense of gratitude and awe and wonder and pride that this nation
01:33:53.960 exists at all and it really is something to celebrate together and it's it is a miracle I
01:33:59.900 mean talk about low statistical odds of success and so we want to make more of these films and
01:34:06.060 it starts with we thought where do we start I'm like well I love the origin story hero's journey
01:34:11.420 of Washington, where he learns to be a leader. And so that's where we decided to start.
01:34:17.680 He learns to be a leader, but he really never learns to be a good general. He's really bad
01:34:25.620 at strategy. He loses over and over and over again. I mean, it's embarrassing, really,
01:34:33.400 on how bad he is at the beginning. You know what's interesting about Washington
01:34:37.260 is he is forged much more by hardship and failure and risk and adventure than he was
01:34:44.740 by ease. And many of the great leaders are, Churchill the same way. And what I found out
01:34:50.520 about him is, yes, we didn't have any good generals because we were colonies, but Washington
01:34:58.500 became our first real leader and the embodiment of a cause. And I think he learned over the course
01:35:05.160 of this story early in his life that to lead is to serve and to lead is to embody something that's
01:35:11.140 bigger than you are. And he became America's first great leader. And what I noticed about him during
01:35:17.460 the Revolutionary War is he had this fortitude, man. He had this ability to endure in an uncommon
01:35:24.280 way. And that was really the thing that won the war. Or one of the major things that won the war
01:35:29.820 was just grit and uh and and i i wanted to find out where that came from and it really came from
01:35:35.060 his his early life so i wanted to make this i've always considered it pride and prejudice meets
01:35:38.640 the revenant you know this kind of first adventure story in the french indian war and and uh and and
01:35:44.380 that's where i wanted to start but man i would love my dream is to uh is to tell more of these
01:35:49.920 stories and and we just i think so many of the problems that we have uh are come from the fact
01:35:56.520 that we don't know our origin story and we don't know why we're here and right how amazing this
01:36:00.880 country is you know it's exactly right um i i have to ask you you know um his uh i i never really
01:36:13.080 i guess fully understood or saw you know i'm such an american that i never thought of george
01:36:22.620 Washington having to go to the British and saying, hey, I could serve here. And them looking at him
01:36:29.200 and going, no, you're not an elite. You're of no family. You're of no consequence. You have no
01:36:36.600 education. Where Americans, we don't look at people like that. And it's so weird to see and 0.97
01:36:43.720 to think George Washington being rejected because he's not part of the old system. I don't know how
01:36:51.500 to explain it and once you see the movie you'll understand but even his even his first real and i
01:36:58.060 think i'll bet you his real love his whole life um yeah you know he kind of grew up around and
01:37:05.960 dad just didn't even nobody even thought it was possible because he just was you know kind of 0.99
01:37:13.660 scum beneath their feet. You see the American idea birthed in this idea of anyone from anywhere 0.97
01:37:23.560 being able to do whatever they set their mind to if they work hard enough. That is the idea of
01:37:27.880 America, and that did not exist. You clearly see that. You see the unfairness of a world fixed in
01:37:35.000 a class system with an elite that no matter what you do, no matter how good you are, you could
01:37:39.880 never join just by virtue of your status. And you see this group of people and you see Washington
01:37:46.520 in this movie say, why is the world, why can we not make a better world? So it's so interesting
01:37:51.260 how he so wanted to join this group that he was actually destined to defy. And you see that over
01:37:58.340 the course of the film and you wonder if the first great love of his life had chosen him or if he was
01:38:04.680 able to get a royal commission as a British officer, which he wanted so badly. Is there an
01:38:09.200 america today i don't know you know so it's amazing to see these these these things that
01:38:13.020 happened uh that really is as he called it we're we're kind of a divine handed providence guiding
01:38:18.140 him even when it was painful um it's interesting to um see what did you what did you find about
01:38:27.840 and did you even research this far into it his love affair with uh with martha i mean because
01:38:34.300 i've always felt that the love affair that you see this this crushing love that he has for this
01:38:41.680 this woman fairfax um whose father is you know has hired him to make maps of the county and
01:38:48.200 and everything else uh or of his property um i'm not sure he ever gets past that it was was martha
01:38:56.040 i mean i know he loved martha but was it kind of the old fashion because we're married and we're
01:39:01.940 going to love each other or was there ever really a love a deep love affair with martha and george
01:39:07.520 yeah i have i have opinions on this uh and you try to research as much as you can uh martha
01:39:14.140 burned all their letters burned almost everything yeah except two and i was actually i was at mount
01:39:18.840 vernon um uh two days ago we got to lay a wreath on his on his grave which was amazing uh
01:39:25.940 and uh and then also we were you know in the in the room that he died and there's a desk there
01:39:30.320 And that's where one of these letters was from Martha, tucked away, hidden, like it was just hidden in the desk.
01:39:36.460 But the rest are burned.
01:39:37.660 And the only letters that we have from Sally are from the letters he wrote to her.
01:39:41.080 And so Sally was obviously his kind of first crush flame.
01:39:45.580 There was obviously attraction there.
01:39:47.480 The last letter he wrote her was like a week before he married Martha.
01:39:50.580 I feel like Martha was a business partnership that, as marriages were in that day, that actually grew into a bond over time.
01:39:59.260 especially as they experienced difficulty together and she was out with him during the war.
01:40:04.980 And if you read that one letter that survived, you see that the relationship with Martha blossomed
01:40:11.920 into a real bond, in my opinion, different than kind of the infatuation with Sally.
01:40:20.000 But I think it grew and grew and became more and more real.
01:40:23.700 Man, I hope to tell that story.
01:40:24.940 And especially as you get into 70, 76 and beyond, just the pressure that he was under, you know, I think she was there for him in every way.
01:40:33.320 So these were the two loves of his life, you know, and it's so fascinating to explore.
01:40:38.880 Yeah, she was not only there for him, but when they went to Valley Forge, I mean, she was there.
01:40:43.980 I mean, no woman is going to Valley Forge.
01:40:45.740 She was there helping and she was a remarkable woman.
01:40:50.500 Anyway, John, what is one last thing?
01:40:52.440 What is the one thing you learned about George Washington you did not know that you thought, wow, everyone should know this?
01:41:00.160 Well, as I studied his life, you know, you think about these characters forged in stone, you know, and they're mythic.
01:41:07.300 And then you ask, where do these characteristics come from?
01:41:10.660 And I think what I learned was just the value of failure that George Washington learned through his mistakes, and he kept going, and he didn't give up, and he was very self-aware, and he forged himself before he could forge a nation.
01:41:28.460 And you see that in this film, in this early chapter in his life.
01:41:32.300 So I think one of the great lessons for me was that failure doesn't have to define you, but it can mold you into the person that you're meant to become if you'll let it and if you'll not quit.
01:41:43.380 And this guy had an uncommon endurance, and he learned from his mistakes, and he kept going, and he had true courage.
01:41:55.200 So I think those were the primary things.
01:41:57.300 Other than that, I think his personality was like a lid on top of a volcano.
01:42:01.680 I think that this was not a boring person.
01:42:04.320 This was a person of great passion and great emotion,
01:42:07.380 and his personality was kind of like a lid on that.
01:42:10.780 And so fascinating character.
01:42:12.620 And so I wanted to start with this early adventure.
01:42:15.800 It is in theaters nationwide.
01:42:18.740 And as always, when our audience unifies our voice around something
01:42:24.060 and shocks Hollywood, millions and millions of people see it
01:42:28.440 that wouldn't otherwise see it because of the fear of missing out.
01:42:31.320 And that's my hope and that's my prayer.
01:42:35.140 As we've screened the movie around the country, it's cool to hear people like, you know, cheer and chant USA at the end of the movie.
01:42:42.540 But what I love is a lot of people say, I was up on Google like all night researching, like, did this really happen?
01:42:48.040 Yeah, yeah.
01:42:48.320 Some of the most extraordinary things in the movie actually happened.
01:42:51.060 So that's my hope is that it will serve as a spark of curiosity for Americans everywhere.
01:42:56.900 I will tell you, congratulations.
01:42:59.160 State Department is doing screenings now of young Washington, the embassies all over the world, which is tremendous.
01:43:06.960 And I will tell you as a listener, that stuff is not going to happen.
01:43:10.980 We lose the next couple of elections.
01:43:13.720 This is over.
01:43:15.260 And it gets really dark.
01:43:17.620 It is so important to support movies like this now because money doesn't talk.
01:43:23.440 It usually screams.
01:43:25.220 And the only way we get, I mean, we have an extraordinary opportunity this 250th year.
01:43:31.120 I mean, again, divine providence to drop our 250th in right now, where we are politically right now.
01:43:39.000 If this would have happened 10 years ago, it wouldn't have been the same.
01:43:41.260 To happen right now, you have a chance to educate yourself and stop all of this stuff and support the next great storytellers.
01:43:49.840 We lost our story.
01:43:51.480 the left took it from us and has butchered it to death we must find it again and we must support
01:43:59.460 great storytellers and i will tell you john irwin is one of my favorites and one of the best uh and
01:44:05.960 the uh the name of the film is young washington and if you make this you you go to see this and
01:44:12.500 this becomes a success i can't wait to see the series that he will make on this because washington
01:44:18.420 is the greatest story ever told in american history he is fabulous john thank you god bless
01:44:25.220 you thank you glenn great to see you again as always take care good to see you all right john
01:44:29.560 irwin um young washington opens this weekend let me tell you the same kind of scenario that none of
01:44:34.540 us ever kind of expect ourself to be in suppose you know it's supposed to be a peaceful protest
01:44:38.920 uh-huh you're just trying to drive your family across town for dinner when traffic stops your
01:44:43.200 car is surrounded uh and people are pounding on the windows somebody tries the door handle
01:44:47.460 Another person starts yelling for everybody to pull you out of the vehicle.
01:44:50.620 Now you got about three seconds to decide what to do.
01:44:53.060 It's not necessarily a situation that calls for lethal force, but it absolutely calls for something.
01:44:58.360 I'd roll my window down about a crack, and then I'd take my burner launcher, and I'd push it out the window, and I would hit them with tear gas.
01:45:06.040 That makes them scatter, and they're scattered for about 40 minutes, and it's fabulous.
01:45:11.420 Fabulous.
01:45:12.080 You need one.
01:45:12.900 legal in all 50 states required requires no background check as long as you're 18 years
01:45:18.180 or older you can use them and it's not deadly force but it gets you out of situations that
01:45:23.480 you don't want to be in birna byrna.com find the right launcher for your family it's birna.com
01:45:30.260 10 seconds station id
01:45:42.900 I tell you, this, I am struck over and over again by, we are blessed to have Donald Trump

01:45:58.060 in Washington would be happening if it wasn't for Donald Trump. None of it. Please go see it.

01:46:10.240 that is happening celebrating america's 250th birthday and it is it's on the torch right now

01:46:25.620 wilderness wars to political showdowns to near collapses to its assassination it has everything
01:46:32.380 in it um and it uh it takes us hours and hours and hours and hours to produce each hour and it's

01:47:33.520 It will change their worldview and their life.
01:47:36.360 It really will.
01:47:37.300 All right, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.
01:47:39.200 As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, it's worth asking, what makes alliances last?
01:47:44.580 The strongest are built on shared principles, belief in freedom, faith, democracy, and the idea that some things are worth defending, no matter the cost.
01:47:52.440 That's why the friendship between the United States and Israel has endured for so many decades.
01:47:56.320 In fact, John F. Kennedy said something about Israel that has proven remarkable in its prophecy.
01:48:04.120 He said, Israel was not created in order to disappear.
01:48:07.460 Israel will endure and flourish, and it is.
01:48:10.580 It is still doing that.
01:48:12.500 We celebrate America's independence.
01:48:14.520 Israel is a reminder that free nations don't survive by accident.
01:48:17.620 They survive because people pray for them, stand with them, and refuse to take their freedom for granted.
01:48:22.200 That's why I'm grateful for the work of IFCJ.
01:48:24.260 As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of America,
01:48:27.500 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
01:48:29.400 turns toward God in prayer,
01:48:31.540 asking that his wisdom would guide the elected officials
01:48:34.520 and lead America and Israel to moral clarity and unity.
01:48:37.880 Get your USA-Israel flag pin today.

01:49:34.820 talked to laura trump last hour um and i just i just love her i just think she's great um but
01:49:42.240 we were talking about how and she didn't even know did you notice this ricky she didn't even know
01:49:47.060 that the president had won back in 1985 the ellis island award which is the highest immigration
01:49:55.740 award the ellis island award and he won it with muhammad ali and rosa parks imagine and it's this
01:50:05.340 great picture of the three of them standing together in 1985 at ellis island now he's the
01:50:11.840 president who just apparently hates all immigrants even though his grandfather was an immigrant his
01:50:17.880 mother was an immigrant he's won the ellis island award for immigrants uh and uh and he just hates
01:50:25.580 them oh and by the way his wife is also an immigrant just an incredible story speaking of 0.55
01:50:31.740 that the story of his father can we play the friedrich uh section this is from our special
01:50:38.160 that is coming out. It's a live documentary that is coming out on Wednesday night. I'll be in
01:50:44.480 Washington, D.C., 8 p.m., only on The Torch. You're going to learn stuff about our immigration
01:50:50.240 policies and the history and what it actually means. You're going to learn all about that on
01:50:56.200 Wednesday night. Watch it with your family. It's very inspiring. But here's a clip from the part
01:51:01.980 where we meet the grandfather of our current president but despite the chaos people kept
01:51:08.800 coming why because america represented something no other country on earth could offer opportunity
01:51:17.080 freedom and reinvention of yourself in 1885 a 16 year old german immigrant stepped off a steamship
01:51:27.260 Here, after a 12-day voyage from Bremen, Germany,
01:51:31.660 as the ship entered New York Harbor,
01:51:34.300 the Statue of Liberty wasn't even standing yet.
01:51:36.460 She was still sitting in crates.
01:51:38.800 America herself was still under construction. 1.00
01:51:41.420 Well, the young immigrant arrived trained as a barber's apprentice. 0.99
01:51:45.360 But like so many who came through Castle Garden,
01:51:48.500 he believed America offered something impossible anywhere else on Earth.
01:51:52.420 The chance to build an entirely new life.
01:51:56.420 Well, he worked his way through the restaurant business.
01:51:58.760 He headed west during the Klondike Gold Rush, and eventually he invested some of his earnings
01:52:03.300 into an industry that became synonymous with his family name, real estate.
01:52:09.520 His name was Friedrich Trump.
01:52:12.960 And the immigration story of the Trump family was only just beginning.
01:52:19.380 When you find out about his mom and how she came over, it's a remarkable story.
01:52:25.660 And I'm not telling an immigration story here for our 250th anniversary because I believe we've got to open up our borders. 0.86
01:52:32.700 Just the opposite. 1.00
01:52:33.580 I make it very clear in the opening moments, all immigration should be halted. 1.00
01:52:41.000 All of our immigration needs to be halted because we have lost the story. 1.00
01:52:47.240 We have lost the point. 1.00
01:52:49.060 Nobody understands what it's really for.
01:52:51.680 You will, and you'll be able to defend it
01:52:54.000 if you're watching this documentary.
01:52:56.200 It is Wednesday night.
01:52:57.440 Watch it with your families.
01:52:58.960 You know, I have to tell you,
01:52:59.800 I'm so optimistic on some things.
01:53:02.300 We have the opportunity,
01:53:03.360 as I was telling you with John Irwin a minute ago,
01:53:05.060 to learn our history unlike we've ever had before.
01:53:07.960 And there's interest in it.
01:53:09.740 There's interest in it.
01:53:12.380 And we have new content on Torch every single week.
01:53:15.540 New content all summer long.
01:53:16.980 Golden Door is this week.
01:53:18.440 tomorrow is the fourth amendment i think the fourth amendment uh in our series on the bill
01:53:25.900 of rights um and you can teach it to your kids it's just great torch 250.com but until a few
01:53:32.480 weeks ago i mean i really thought that soccer was kind of a sissy european thing but now i know that
01:53:39.060 it's actually mega all the way you know uh it's the official sport of patriots uh because the
01:53:46.860 international soccer fans that are coming here have completely blown the leftist idea that
01:53:52.000 americans hate foreigners it is so great so great to see you want to close the border because you're
01:53:58.180 xenophobic no not at all not at all i love people from other countries i love when they come here 0.96
01:54:04.780 from other countries you know where are you from what do they say will you go over to their country
01:54:10.020 Where are you from? Germany. Okay. You ask people here, where are you from? Well, my grandpa was
01:54:18.800 from Armenia. My grandmother was from Costa Rica, but my dad's German. I'm from Kentucky. I mean,
01:54:25.360 it's just part of our story here. We don't just say we're from America. We have a long list.
01:54:31.020 Where are you from? Where are your people from? Okay. That's normal. You go to China. Where are
01:54:36.440 your people from? China. What's your history? China. Where are you from? China. America is
01:54:44.940 completely unique that way. And that's why we have Bostonians now drinking, you know, well,
01:54:52.640 drinking the Scots underneath the table. Don't try to out drink people from Boston. But they're,
01:54:57.980 you know, they're drinking it dry at soccer matches. Italians getting endless refills and 1.00
01:55:03.380 loving it. And every American sharing a video of a Nigerian man going to Bucky's.
01:55:09.740 By the way, they're freaking out because Bucky's is doing another, I think, 13 stores. And they're
01:55:14.460 like, how many stores? I mean, they're almost the size of our country. And I love it. I think it's
01:55:19.240 great because it's a reminder what immigration is for. And if it's not like that, it dishonors
01:55:29.000 everybody that came here before them.
01:55:31.020 It dishonors all of our parents and grandparents,
01:55:33.700 great, great, great, great, great grandparents
01:55:35.180 that came here as immigrants.
01:55:39.180 I want you to know what immigration really means.
01:55:43.420 The golden door from Ellis Island to the White House,
01:55:45.960 July 1st, Torch250.com.
01:55:49.720 And the other thing is,
01:55:51.680 you're seeing these people come over
01:55:53.780 and they're not socialists.
01:55:56.640 Tomorrow, if I have time tomorrow,
01:55:58.020 I want to tell you the truth. 0.99
01:55:59.000 about sweden you know that sweden is it's they dropped all of that crap they're more they are
01:56:05.580 more free market than we are now because they wised up i mean not entirely they still have a 0.92
01:56:12.800 problem with immigration but when it comes to socialism they wised up they realized it wasn't
01:56:18.600 working so they they've been getting themselves off of that forever because the socialist thing
01:56:25.200 is a real issue i don't know if you know that it's a real issue let me let me take you through
01:56:32.480 some couple of things here uh let me play um let me play cut 13 this is from cnn looking at the
01:56:42.840 numbers on socialism remember what you heard last week now listen to this true nationwide with the
01:56:50.480 general electorate i mean just take a look here net favorable rating of democrat socialists if
01:56:55.000 If you look at Democrats nationwide, look at this.
01:56:57.100 Democratic Socialists are on the positive side of the ledger at plus 17 points.
01:57:00.360 This includes Democratic-leaning independents.
01:57:02.320 But look at all voters.
01:57:03.740 A completely different world.
01:57:07.080 27 points underwater.
01:57:09.560 Democratic Socialists of America are in the net favorable rating.
01:57:12.280 So what are we talking about?
01:57:13.280 A 44-point difference here in the wrong direction when we come to Democratic Socialists of America
01:57:18.860 jumping from being pretty popular among Democrats to being not popular at all among all voters.
01:57:24.580 What about just the word socialist or socialism? How does that do it?
01:57:28.980 Yeah. OK. So, you know, one of the trends that we have seen is in among Democrats, socialism has become more popular over the last decade and a half.
01:57:37.480 But what about the rest of the electorate? And this, I think, gives the game away right here.
01:57:41.020 OK. Positive view of socialism among Democrats.
01:57:44.000 Look at this up considerably from where we were in 2010, 50 percent to now 66 percent.
01:57:49.480 Now, that's a jump of 16 points in a decade and a half.
01:57:52.020 But look at all others. The number is the same. It was 29% back in 2010. It's 30% now. Socialism has become increasingly popular among Democrats, but it is a much tougher sell in the rest of the electorate. It's a much tougher sell among independents.
01:58:09.480 but remember you cannot have a third of the nation before socialism and really you remember
01:58:20.500 the tipping point is about 18 so the worst thing we can do is import more people that are loving
01:58:27.860 socialism um are for socialism or trying to destroy us you have one group of people and again
01:58:34.940 i remind you there are 13 democrats that came out this weekend i mean out of 257 they could
01:58:42.360 only get 13 but 13 democrats signed and said we're not socialist we don't like anarchy we want the
01:58:49.820 rule of law we want prisons 13 of them did that they're very very brave especially when you have
01:58:57.280 everybody in the press going the other way here's joy behar cut 18 listen to her and they're not
01:59:04.040 afraid of the term democratic socialism if i fall down i want an ambulance if my house is on fire
01:59:10.040 bring your hose you know what i mean we are looking it's not socialism i'm not scared of
01:59:16.180 the term i think they're scared of the term okay in this country but the social security is a
01:59:21.160 democratic socialism partly unemployment insurance the people who pick up your garbage
01:59:27.660 the people who take the fire out at your house all of these things are democratic socialist
01:59:32.340 stop i can't do it my head will explode oh my gosh firemen are not socialists
01:59:39.000 they're not socialists we had firemen back in the day before socialism that is not the same thing
01:59:49.500 democratic socialists that's not redistribution of wealth you know why we have police why do we
01:59:55.040 have police how did police come about okay police come about because in the old days in america
02:00:01.220 You used to have a gun. In fact, some cities required you to have a gun. Why? Because if
02:00:10.200 somebody broke into your house or you caught somebody doing something and you could have
02:00:14.980 stopped them and you didn't, you were implicated in the crime that they did for your neighbors,
02:00:21.840 okay? We didn't have police like we have police now, so you were required to be involved. You
02:00:28.880 were the first responder well when we all started going to work and we were plowing our fields and
02:00:34.420 everything else and we got some money we realized i can't do this myself i can't i i can't police
02:00:42.340 and keep my family safe i need somebody else to do that while i'm working on other things building
02:00:47.340 the country so we got together and we all said okay let's take our right of self-defense i mean
02:00:53.940 And, you know, citizen's arrest, I'm making a citizen's arrest.
02:00:57.400 Yeah, that's a real thing.
02:00:59.440 That's a real thing.
02:01:02.020 That's the way we used to do it.
02:01:04.440 But then we said, let's hire somebody that can borrow, that we will lend our right to defend us.
02:01:13.280 We'll lend that to them so they can do it while we're busy at work, while we're busy doing things.
02:01:19.620 That's not socialism.
02:01:21.520 That's common sense.
02:01:22.680 put a fire out why that's socialism we're not going to put your fire out because you can't 1.00
02:01:28.720 afford it that's stupid because if you don't put that fire out it's going to jump to the next house 0.98
02:01:33.820 and the next house and the next house so it's common sense to help put the fire out again 0.98
02:01:39.400 before we had a big fire department you were required to have it was a big leather bucket
02:01:45.980 and you kept this big leather bucket usually either in the kitchen or by the hearth of your
02:01:51.860 fire. And it was filled with water. And it was a big leather bucket required in every house.
02:02:00.100 So you could put out the fire in your house. Or if there was a fire in your next door neighbor's
02:02:04.620 house, everybody got their big leather bucket out, went to the well, put water in it, and you'd throw
02:02:09.700 it on your neighbor's house to put it out. That's not socialism. My gosh. It's got to be painful
02:02:19.780 being that stupid really it does it really does bill maher came out um this weekend and he said 1.00
02:02:28.460 his vote is in play because if this is who they are bill this is who they've been for a long time 1.00
02:02:35.660 you've just refused to look at it i mean you know it's it's amazing how and this is why when these
02:02:43.440 13 democrats come out and say hey we're not for these things don't mock them don't ridicule them
02:02:48.480 welcome them thank you thank you for finally seeing it do i have the list here sarah ricky
02:02:55.980 where's the list of these guys uh shoot do you have the list of all of the the um
02:03:04.520 names of the republic or the democrats that are speaking you won't recognize any of them give me
02:03:09.840 you won't none of them none of them are high profile so i could say their names but you've
02:03:17.540 never heard of them and a few of them are actually just candidates they're not actually in congress

02:03:38.160 those 13 wherever you are um good luck with that um but i'm glad you're doing it don't mock these
02:03:46.380 people as they wake up they you know if you were surrounded by the friends that they're surrounded

02:04:32.020 Let me tell you about real estate agents.
02:04:34.540 ITrust.com.
02:04:35.440 There are some decisions in life that you can fix later if you get them wrong.
02:04:38.660 You buy the wrong car, you can trade it in.
02:04:40.700 You take a vacation you didn't love.
02:04:42.200 Next year, somewhere else.
02:04:43.800 But buying or selling a home is not like that.
02:04:45.900 It is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make.
02:04:48.940 And a small mistake can cost you thousands of dollars.
02:04:51.740 That's why you don't just need a real estate agent.
02:04:53.640 You need the right real estate agent.
02:04:55.660 Somebody who knows the market, knows how to negotiate,
02:04:57.780 knows how to protect your interest every step of the way.
02:05:00.300 That is exactly why I started RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
02:05:04.160 I wanted to build a network of professionals who have proven
02:05:06.840 that they know how to take care of their clients
02:05:08.600 because buying or selling a home is stressful enough to begin with.
