00:00:25.400 most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways we lock the doors we install
00:00:32.240 the cameras but there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone
00:00:36.620 stepping foot in your property it is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what
00:00:41.320 it sounds like criminals forge documents they file them with the county they transfer ownership
00:00:46.400 of your home into their name and then once all that happens they can attempt to take out loans
00:00:52.080 against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is, like, you don't
00:00:56.940 really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically
00:01:00.940 protect you from this, and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need
00:01:05.720 home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal
00:01:10.360 fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something suspicious
00:01:16.800 shows up, you can immediately act and you can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with Home
00:01:23.000 Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity. I want you to be
00:01:26.680 able to find out if you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught

00:02:28.280 Na na na na
00:02:33.360 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment
00:02:41.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:47.260 Glenn Beck is on.
00:02:50.340 Well, hello.
00:02:51.940 Welcome from the nation's capital.
00:02:55.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:57.400 Got a lot to talk to you about what happened here in Washington, D.C. over the 4th of July.
00:03:02.900 It was, I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
00:03:05.580 Both good, both good and bad.
00:03:07.560 Some parts, both good and bad.
00:03:09.320 We'll talk about that coming up in just a little while.
00:03:11.880 I really want to start, though, with something that the president pardoned.
00:03:15.860 He pardoned a couple of guys that were trying to fix trucks.
00:03:20.600 And I really want to go into this because it's a bigger issue than just trucks.
00:03:25.600 It's who owns your stuff.
00:03:27.220 Do you actually own your stuff or not?
00:03:30.740 When I buy something, can I do whatever I want to do with it?
00:03:34.940 Do I own it?
00:03:36.060 Or does the government own it?
00:03:37.700 Or does the manufacturer still own it?
00:03:41.040 We'll get into that here in just a second.
00:03:42.800 Also, your power bill going up.
00:03:44.740 I've got a few things to say here in the next 30 minutes.
00:03:47.080 Stand by first.
00:03:47.820 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:03:49.420 It's Patriot Mobile.
00:03:50.780 Well, we got through the first 250 years.
00:03:53.740 Oh, geez.
00:03:54.180 Now we've got to start working on the next 250.
00:03:57.100 You and I won't be here for that, of course.
00:03:59.300 I mean, unless they find a way for all of us to live forever.
00:04:02.220 Wouldn't that be great?
00:04:03.160 But the people who see us as ancestors will see us.
00:04:08.000 They'll be there and they will live with all the consequences of the decisions that we're making right now.
00:04:13.040 Every generation inherits a country from the people who came before them.
00:04:16.760 The question is whether we leave the next generation something stronger or something weaker.
00:04:22.540 That's why I appreciate the people who actually stand for something, and that's Patriot Mobile.
00:04:26.560 I want you to go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck right now and sign up to get your phone service,

00:04:49.000 Alright, so I want
00:04:50.100 you to put yourself in a situation.
00:04:52.320 It's 30 below and
00:04:53.980 your truck will not go faster
00:04:56.000 than 5 miles an hour. And it's
00:04:58.020 not because the engine is broken. The engine
00:05:00.040 is fine. The engine is fine.
00:05:01.500 The engine would run to the moon and back if you just let it, but it won't go faster
00:05:06.720 than five miles an hour because a sensor decided on your behalf, for your protection, without
00:05:12.540 asking you, that you're no longer permitted to drive your own vehicle at a speed that
00:05:17.320 would keep you alive on a road in the dark when it's 30 below.
00:05:22.900 Now, I might be a little passionate on this because I might have a truck that won't let
00:05:28.380 me drive past five miles an hour. Because the DEF system, the DEF system, the diesel exhaust
00:05:36.440 fluid, it says, no, no, no, no, no. You know, it's not working right. You know, if you've never owned
00:05:41.500 a diesel, you're going to think I'm exaggerating, but let me actually hand you the numbers before
00:05:46.960 you decide I'm just a guy mad at the truck industry or the government. In Alaska, one
00:05:52.760 transportation operator says the def system is behind about 85% of his breakdowns. I know
00:06:00.460 my very nice Denali is worthless because of this. A state fleet manager up there, a man whose whole
00:06:10.040 job is just keeping government trucks running, calls it a significant portion of his maintenance
00:06:14.920 cost. Now that's the government saying that. How about us? Now this is not the ravings of a
00:06:21.680 backyard tinkerer. This is a guy whose job it is to move fuel and freight and food, and he's
00:06:29.700 telling you the thing bolted to their engine by federal decree fails and fails and fails again
00:06:34.740 right when the cold makes failure really deadly. And here's what happened to the men who tried to
00:06:40.780 fix it. Four years ago, roughly 30 armed EPA agents ran a military-style tactical raid on a
00:06:48.860 diesel shop in Alaska, 30 armed over engine modifications. This is why you do not give the
00:06:57.520 federal government guns. The man who owned that shop, Max Burlock, he's a husband, he's a dad,
00:07:03.960 he's a small business owner and a veteran of the Alaska Air National Guard. His crime was helping
00:07:10.000 truckers keep their rigs from shutting down in sub-zero cold, defeating a one-size-fit-all rule
00:07:16.820 written in an office 2,000 miles away by people who have never once had to start a diesel at 40
00:07:22.880 below. 30 agents with guns for that. So on 4th of July, the president pardoned them.
00:07:33.880 I think it was six of them, or eight of them. Now they're free. Now I want you to know one of
00:07:42.880 these guys grossed over $10 million selling tuning devices, I wish I would have known they were
00:07:48.380 available. I would have purchased one. That's real. That's a business. That's not a mercy
00:07:54.140 mission. But you know what a $10 million market tells me? It tells me millions of Americans were
00:08:01.200 so desperate to make their own trucks worth that they lined up and paid top dollar to get around
00:08:06.940 the government's own equipment. What is that? First time I've really seen this outside of drug
00:08:13.420 deals. This is a black market, a black market in America. You don't get a $10 million market
00:08:25.740 around something for an EPA rule, unless that rule is failing the American people.
00:08:31.500 So I'm really glad they're pardoned. I'm really, really glad. And I want this whole thing. I want
00:08:37.880 the sensors, the seals, the raids, the crime of fixing your own truck. I want it all gone
00:08:44.360 because underneath, underneath all of the diesel and the cold and the fluid and everything is this
00:08:49.620 one question that I've never had to ask in my country. When you buy something with your own
00:08:57.600 money. You sign the paper. You hand over the check. That thing that you now own sits in your
00:09:04.800 driveway. But who owns it? Honestly, who owns it? You? The company that sold it to you and then
00:09:12.840 locked the hood so you can't open your own engine? Or the federal agency that will send 30-armed men
00:09:19.020 to your shop if you touch what you supposedly own? They built a truck that you can't fix.
00:09:27.600 basic problems you can't fix, the kind a man could handle in his own garage on a Saturday,
00:09:33.380 sealed off, sealed off, warnings, make it clear, don't open this, a machine that will strand you
00:09:39.600 at five miles an hour to satisfy a regulation and then treat you like a felon for wanting to get
00:09:45.200 home. That is not ownership. We have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We
00:09:52.000 have a right to our own property. That's not ownership. That's custody. Well, they'll let
00:09:58.840 you make the payments, but they keep the keys to what really matters. I got to tell you,
00:10:05.940 the declaration doesn't use the word truck, but I tell you the spirit of that document
00:10:13.360 is the same thing. It means the same thing. A free man has dominion over what is his and no
00:10:21.280 distant authority gets to reach past his front door and tell him what he may or may not repair
00:10:27.320 with his own tools to survive in the winter. You know, it's one thing if you drive a truck,
00:10:33.800 I mean, I don't personally, I don't think it is any different, but I want to make this really
00:10:38.440 clear. You drive a truck and you're in a city, you know, you have a, you have a repair person
00:10:43.940 right there. You drive a truck, you're out in the country, you're out where I live in Idaho,
00:10:48.260 oh, you're going five miles an hour.
00:10:50.120 It's going to take you forever to get into town.
00:10:53.620 My town is 40 minutes away at 65 miles an hour.
00:10:59.060 That truck is mine.
00:11:01.100 It doesn't belong to the manufacturer.
00:11:02.940 It doesn't belong to the EPA.
00:11:04.360 It's mine.
00:11:05.500 Enough is enough.
00:11:09.380 I can't believe I'm saying this.
00:11:10.720 Set the mechanics free.
00:11:12.320 Anybody who was ever rated for the sin of making a machine work,
00:11:16.000 set them free.
00:11:16.840 and then let's finish the job here
00:11:19.560 so the next man in the next coal
00:11:21.240 doesn't have to choose between five miles an hour
00:11:23.480 in a federal indictment
00:11:24.720 because a country that will send armed agents
00:11:27.520 to stop you from fixing your own truck
00:11:29.800 has forgotten who the truck was ever for
00:11:32.280 it was for you
00:11:34.160 it always has been for you
00:11:38.120 now let me switch to your power bill
00:11:41.660 something else
00:11:44.120 do you have control over your own life?
00:11:46.840 Because there's another story out about your power bill.
00:11:49.940 We'll get to that here in 60 seconds.
00:11:51.580 First, our sponsor this half hour is LifeLock.

00:11:59.960 Congratulations.
00:12:01.040 You just stepped inside the mind of a cyber criminal.
00:12:04.320 Also a New York communist.
00:12:05.940 You could run for mayor now.
00:12:08.680 They don't have to know you.
00:12:09.980 They don't care about what you do for a living or what kind of car you drive.
00:12:13.300 They see you as a collection of bank accounts.
00:12:15.880 That's it.
00:12:16.180 passwords, credit cards, personal information they can turn into cash. And yes, it still applies to
00:12:21.680 both cyber criminals and communist mayors of New York City. And if they could get your hands on

00:13:00.440 10 seconds, Station ID.
00:13:11.780 all right so your electricity bill has gone up okay and not because you know you ran the air
00:13:20.080 harder or you added another room or you bought a hot tub or something you did nothing different
00:13:24.900 you're living exactly the same way you've always you've run the same numbers you know for air
00:13:31.320 conditioning and heat and the number at the bottom of your bill just keeps climbing and nobody in
00:13:37.120 your state capital will look you in the eye and tell you why. So let me look you in the eye and
00:13:42.360 tell you why. There's a new study out. If you live in a blue state and you're furious about what you
00:13:49.060 pay, just to keep your lights on, stop cursing the weather. Stop cursing the power companies
00:13:55.460 hold music. Here's the problem. It was a choice and that choice is not yours. Never has been
00:14:03.540 yours. Well, it used to be yours. It's not now. Hadn't been for a long time. There's an analysis
00:14:11.060 out now, always on energy research and the Institute for Energy Research, and they're
00:14:18.000 pulling right from the government's own numbers. And it lands on something, I mean, something that's
00:14:26.180 so clear it's almost rude to say it out loud. Of the states paying more than the national average
00:14:32.140 for electricity, 86% of them voted for Democrats in the last two presidential elections.
00:14:39.100 Of the 10 cheapest states in the country, 80% voted for Republicans. Now, you could wave that
00:14:47.660 off as a coincidence if you'd like, but there is a pattern with a cause, and the cause has a name,
00:14:55.300 and the name is net zero. Renewable mandates, zero emission targets, portfolio standards.
00:15:05.480 They order your utility to buy a certain amount of a certain kind of power by a certain date,
00:15:10.880 whether it's ready or not, whether it's cheaper or not, whether it keeps the lights on in January
00:15:16.120 or not, it doesn't matter. And your utility company's not fighting these mandates because
00:15:21.820 your utility gets richer by building them. A power company makes its money spending money.
00:15:31.160 Every new wind farm, every new line, every grand green promise is another mountain of infrastructure
00:15:37.720 that it's getting paid to build. And reliability doesn't pad the profit. Doesn't matter.
00:15:44.920 Affordability doesn't pad the profit. Building the stuff does. So the mandate and the monopoly
00:15:51.240 shake hands over your bill and you're the one holding the check how does that make you feel
00:15:57.940 who owned who who is actually in charge of your life that is the thing that the whole declaration
00:16:03.180 of independence was all about who is in charge of your life you or a group of faceless people
00:16:10.140 that you don't know now you look at these numbers and you go wait a minute here mr back washington
00:16:20.780 and Oregon seem to do pretty well. Uh-huh. They're both deep blue, both of them, and their power is
00:16:28.580 cheap. Yes, it is cheap. Now, let's think that through. Why is Oregon and Washington,
00:16:37.340 why is their power so cheap? Why? It's called hydroelectric dams. It works with water and
00:16:48.760 gravity, the cheapest, most reliable electricity that God and engineering ever made together.
00:16:56.940 So there is the exception, blue states, cheap power, two of them, except here's what they've
00:17:04.380 left off the postcard for you. That same coalition, the governors, the tribes, the green lawyers,
00:17:10.440 the whole apparatus, along with the last administration signing its name right there
00:17:17.260 at the bottom is in federal court right now, trying to rip four of those dams out of the
00:17:23.500 snake river, four lower snake dams, working hydroelectric dams, making clean, cheap power
00:17:31.360 for hundreds of thousands of homes sitting there doing the one thing everybody claims they want.
00:17:38.540 And those, those, uh, deep blue States want those gone. They want them blown apart, breached.
00:17:44.960 they want to drain uh back into a river and they want to do it on purpose but they've made a promise
00:17:50.840 to you they no no no no seriously they've made this promise it's dressed up in a thousand
00:17:56.080 different costumes don't worry we'll replace it and we'll replace the dam power with wind and
00:18:01.880 solar and batteries and it'll be better and cheaper uh-huh we're going to replace the
00:18:09.440 the barges with trains and we'll replace the water somehow trust the study trust the model
00:18:15.800 trust us i don't think i trust you guys no 30 billion dollars a decade of faith
00:18:23.300 to tear something out that already works that already makes free power every single day
00:18:30.840 because of a flowing river um i don't know i think that that pleases my bottom line you know
00:18:38.340 a cheap electric bill that that helps me an awful lot now here's a part that lands on my doorstep
00:18:46.160 maybe yours i live in idaho half the year i live in idaho idaho sits upstream of every one of those
00:18:52.500 dams and the very same fight that wants those gone has spent years now reaching past the state line
00:19:01.600 for our water the water held in our reservoirs to flush the system out for fish our stored water
00:19:10.320 the water a farmer in magic valley is already counted on to bring a crop in out of the dust
00:19:18.000 because remember without water it's all dust they'll spend all of that water on salmon and
00:19:24.140 call it science and then the man watching his field go brown gets told well your water was
00:19:30.500 needed some more, more virtuous than your field. So don't tell me the blue states have cracked the
00:19:36.180 code on cheap power, cheap water. They didn't crack anything except possibly the dam. They
00:19:41.960 inherited a river and the politics that run them is in court right now, trying to break the very
00:19:49.840 dams the rivers turn and, and, and reaching them into my water while they're at it.
00:19:56.040 anyway i just want to ask you who owns your stuff really honestly who is in charge of your life
00:20:03.660 you know cheap power exception is not proof that they were right it's the next thing on
00:20:10.520 their list to tear down and all the numbers underneath of it are ugly no matter what your
00:20:16.820 zip code is electricity prices in this country rose 27 from january 21 through january of 25
00:20:23.940 than another 11% in just the nine months after that.
00:20:28.140 And that's not a blip.
00:20:29.080 That's a direction.
00:20:30.900 Part of that is caused because green energy.
00:20:33.520 The other part of that is caused because now we need more power.
00:20:38.080 Ties into everything I said about the truck.
00:20:41.460 Under the Federal Power Act, the states, not Washington, not the weather,
00:20:46.640 the states have exclusive authority over what kind of power feeds their grid,
00:20:50.840 where it's built what you get charged for it exclusive which means when your bill climbs
00:20:57.620 it isn't fate it isn't bad luck it's a room full of people that you can name that you made the
00:21:05.620 decision to hire to elect people you can look up that reaches through your wall and into that one
00:21:14.260 outlet you thought was yours. Same exact hand. So when you're electing the socialists, this is
00:21:22.020 what you're going to get. The same hand that sealed the hood of my truck so I couldn't fix
00:21:26.320 the engine is the hand reaching into your wall to set the price of your own light and your own heat
00:21:31.980 and the same hand again reaching up to the river to drain the dam and take the water.
00:21:36.860 It's the same instinct every time that somewhere far beyond your kitchen, a body of experts and officials and activists know better than you know how to warm your house, what your light should cost, how long you should be able to run your lights, and whose water gets spent on what.
00:21:59.380 And they'll say the same thing.
00:22:00.840 It's the planet.
00:22:01.800 It's the salmon.
00:22:02.720 It's the future.
00:22:03.440 They'll call it everything and anything.
00:22:05.120 but what it is is control just dressed up in a night suit for church strip the robes off and
00:22:13.500 it's the oldest question there is the only one that i really ask anymore
00:22:21.080 who owns the truck in your driveway you were the men who locked you out of it
00:22:28.680 who owns the power in your wall, who pays for every watt?
00:22:33.320 Is it you or the collective that priced it in a room you weren't invited to?
00:22:38.920 Who owns the water and the dam and the river and the people who live and farm
00:22:44.120 and raise their kids alongside of it?
00:22:45.860 Or a distant few who've decided your whole way of life is just a rounding error
00:22:50.420 against their vision?
00:22:53.240 Who actually runs your life?
00:22:55.920 Who gave you the right?
00:22:57.860 Do they have the right or do you have the right?
00:23:00.980 This is where the Declaration of Independence comes in.
00:23:03.820 And you're not imagining the number at the bottom of that bill.
00:23:07.000 You're not bad with money.
00:23:08.640 You're paying month after month for decisions made in your name that you were never asked about.
00:23:14.460 And some of the people making them are not finished yet.
00:23:18.620 Be careful how you vote.
00:23:22.180 The water on your land was supposed to be yours.
00:23:25.700 It always supposed to be.
00:23:27.280 they just forgot to tell you that it I guess now it comes with a landlord a socialist one all right
00:23:32.800 back in just a second our sponsor this half hour is uh simply safe gonna try a crazy experiment here
00:23:40.200 uh criminals if you're listening would you please stop breaking into other people's homes

00:23:51.640 you give your house unprotected now because I told them uh-huh unfortunately the kind of person
00:23:57.120 who breaks into somebody's house isn't usually very concerned, you know, with good manners,
00:24:03.120 polite requests. So while we can hope they make better choices, it's probably smarter to prepare
00:24:07.620 for the possibility that they won't listen at all. That's why I recommend SimpliSafe. Their

00:24:56.080 you know can we ever find anyone on the other side that will speak honestly
00:25:23.440 i mean cnn is so wrong once again you know here we are 250th anniversary cnn says we're the most
00:25:33.600 divided we've ever been we've been divided before you think during the civil war you think yeah but
00:25:39.740 this one this one is really bad worse than the civil war really yeah you know why donald trump
00:25:46.780 whoa now you completely took you took me by surprise there cnn i didn't wait donald trump
00:25:53.220 what that's a whole new theory yeah donald trump because he um he makes things worse
00:26:01.240 because he's uniquely dangerous he's uniquely dangerous yeah yeah because he picks at people
00:26:14.020 He picks at scabs. He he mocks people. He is keeping political divisions wide open. Donald Trump is. Wow. Wow. OK. All right. Let me give you CNN. Let me give you every bit of that. I don't agree with that.
00:26:34.620 i think donald trump has done some really divisive things yes um and and that's unfortunately kind of
00:26:42.380 the way he is at times he gets pissed and he'll do things like that and i don't like it so i'm
00:26:47.200 going to give you absolutely every bit of that i'll say donald trump is really divisive
00:26:53.560 will you give me that your side is saying exactly the same things
00:27:01.820 September 1st, 2022
00:27:04.260 Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans
00:27:06.020 represent an extremism
00:27:07.560 that threatens the very foundations of our
00:27:10.000 republic. Why? Because we don't like
00:27:11.980 socialism? Why?
00:27:13.920 Because we believe in small government?
00:27:16.160 Why? Because I believe in the
00:27:17.960 Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
00:27:20.040 Don't assign
00:27:21.420 You've made me
00:27:23.060 You've made me into a
00:27:25.960 MAGA Republican. I don't know what
00:27:27.900 a MAGA Republican actually is
00:27:29.980 other than somebody who goes, yeah, I think Donald Trump is doing pretty good
00:27:32.580 and believes in the country.
00:27:34.840 That's all I know that that means, okay?
00:27:37.280 But now I'm a threat to democracy because I believe in the republic?
00:27:42.680 Wow. Okay. All right.
00:27:44.640 And he did that over and over again and said that MAGA Republicans are fascists.
00:27:51.660 I don't know. That seems a little divisive.
00:27:53.880 I mean, maybe it's just me.
00:27:55.460 you know it's usually not done you know not said you know in polite company hey bill oh man good
00:28:04.820 to see you you fascist it's usually not a compliment it's usually a little divisive
00:28:10.200 hillary clinton quote you can put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of
00:28:18.060 deplorables racist sexist homophobic xenophobic and islamophobic half of the people who voted
00:28:26.860 the way that you didn't vote half of them are all those things i don't know sounds a little
00:28:34.400 divisive a little bit a little bit yeah but you started it
00:28:39.060 2008 small-town americans cling to their guns or their religions uh religion or uh
00:28:49.600 or to uh their uh antipathy to people who aren't like them
00:28:56.720 what i don't i don't have a problem with that i don't cling to my god and my guns what
00:29:05.120 by the way he was saying that as he was claiming that we engage in voter suppression
00:29:11.780 and attacks on democracy that's in 2008 by the way Nancy Pelosi said Republicans are enemies of the
00:29:20.700 state Chuck Schumer warned Gorsuch and Kavanaugh you've released the whirlwind and you'll pay the
00:29:28.100 price Kamala Harris said Pearl Harbor and September 11th are just like January 6th you mean the one
00:29:35.100 you hyped up and had a bunch of
00:29:37.060 FBI that we now know
00:29:38.940 had all kinds of government
00:29:41.220 operatives at? You mean that one?
00:29:46.320 Yes, but he is suppressing free speech.
00:29:49.200 Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump
00:29:50.780 suppressing.
00:29:52.560 Have you ever heard of the Twitter files?
00:29:55.920 Have you ever seen the litigation
00:29:57.060 that, you know, showed the communication
00:29:59.100 between the FBI,
00:30:01.000 the White House, and social media
00:30:02.880 companies?
00:30:03.420 just on the 2020 election that's not even that's just the beginning of it because that went through
00:30:08.920 the hunter biden laptop where we were called deplorables we were called crazy we were called
00:30:15.060 conspiracy theorists we were a danger to the republic the fbi said that we were in bed with
00:30:21.700 russia if we believed the hunter biden laptop stuff you mean that kind of stuff that was so
00:30:27.900 uniting or was it the covid stuff that was so uniting you know where we said hey i don't think
00:30:35.600 that we should rush into this covid vaccine and because we wouldn't we wouldn't take the vaccine
00:30:42.820 we were going to kill everybody every grandparent on earth that we shouldn't we shouldn't have
00:30:48.680 medical care because we were crazy and deplorable we were killers because we said hey i think our
00:30:56.880 own government not not the republicans democrats our own government was involved with the covid
00:31:04.680 vaccine and we were called hate mongers for saying that anti-government people wait what
00:31:12.720 what now that that's all proven now do we get an apology no nobody apologized or for the masks
00:31:20.520 that you told us was science and we shouldn't question science and we now find out no that
00:31:24.220 was arbitrary in fact it made things worse or the vaccines that we said maybe we shouldn't rush and
00:31:32.380 people lost their jobs their livelihood were called all kinds of names and now it shows that
00:31:39.340 the vaccines might be part of the problem
00:31:43.840 no this one this one will make you don't have you don't have any immunity you have no natural
00:31:52.160 immunity for the first time in all of human existence you have no human no natural ability
00:31:59.120 to fight this and create your own defense against it your body has no really wow wow no no no you
00:32:10.360 got to take it and you better listen to those teachers unions you know those significant
00:32:14.780 learning loss increased mental health problems greater impact on lower income students but we
00:32:19.980 were the hate mongers for saying it oh and i haven't gotten into the russian collusion thing
00:32:26.640 or the parents at the school board meetings here in virginia that were monsters monsters
00:32:34.040 i didn't even get into the censorship i mean forget the 2020 censorship how about the censorship
00:32:40.640 with the white house and the social media companies on covid how about any of those i don't
00:32:47.420 know, CNN. Seems like you might be wrong yet again. May I suggest something? The answer
00:33:07.840 is found in our founding documents. What is this really all about? Because I'm going
00:33:12.340 to take on those dirtbag, patriot front, white supremacists, those guys that were down here
00:33:19.740 in Washington, D.C. over the weekend for Fourth of July. Dirtbags. All of them. Dirtbags.
00:33:28.060 Dangerous dirtbags. Stupid, pathetic, dangerous dirtbags. I'm going to take them on because
00:33:35.980 that's an embarrassment to our nation. So give me a second before I get there, but I want you to
00:33:44.160 think about something all throughout the show today. I just want you to think about one thing.
00:33:49.780 What is the real problem? What is the real problem? Well, it's Marxism. Okay, what does
00:33:57.440 marxism boil down to the individual exists for the state or for the class okay it's one class
00:34:08.220 against another it's that class that is keeping you down so this class can wind up and the
00:34:15.100 individual is for the state fascism same kind of idea the individual there is nothing uh beyond
00:34:24.920 the state and everything is the state. So fascism is saying the same thing. The individual doesn't
00:34:31.280 matter. Go get the Jews. Go get the handicapped. Doesn't matter. It's for the collective good.
00:34:36.880 White supremacy. White supremacy. Go get the blacks. Go get the Jews. Go get the Hispanics.
00:34:43.560 Go get anybody who's different than you. Because whites are the real solution.
00:34:48.980 whites should have all the power what's the difference between that and some of the extremists
00:34:55.580 on blm and dei that are saying whites are the problem blacks are the ones the minorities
00:35:03.120 and what's the difference between that and the palestinian crazies that are saying you know
00:35:11.060 who the real problem is, the Jews.
00:35:17.800 Do you notice all these have
00:35:18.800 one thing in common?
00:35:20.800 Collective.
00:35:22.300 They've all become about
00:35:25.120 the collective.
00:35:27.440 And who are the
00:35:29.060 enemies? Who are the enemies?
00:35:32.060 The ones who
00:35:33.140 believe
00:35:33.740 all men are created equal and
00:35:36.960 endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.
00:35:39.140 Who actually believe that, not
00:35:40.920 playing the game who actually believe in the power of the individual what is the other target
00:35:47.720 the other target is those who believe god knows you by name not some collective crazy
00:35:57.020 not not barack obama's collective salvation but actual salvation that jesus came for the
00:36:07.100 individual. You don't have the crime of your father. He doesn't take on your crimes. You
00:36:13.800 don't take on his crime. You're judged as an individual. Isn't it interesting that every
00:36:21.860 group that we are seeing right now that is trying to pit us apart, they all have a different
00:36:26.620 definition of the collective, but they all arrive at the very same conclusion. Your rights come from
00:36:33.740 the group. Your value comes from the group. Your duty is to the group. The American experiment says,
00:36:41.200 no, your rights come from God. Your dignity comes from your creator. The state exists to
00:36:47.440 protect your liberty, not to define your worth.
00:36:50.820 you see it's really not that hard we're really only arguing one thing and we're arguing the
00:37:08.360 same thing with the white supremacists that we're saying to the palestinian crazies that we're
00:37:12.580 saying to the blm people that we're saying to the fascists that we're saying to the communists that
00:37:17.100 we're saying to Zoran Mamdani, that we're saying to the Republican progressives, that
00:37:24.300 we're saying to the Democrat progressives, socialists, saying the same thing. It's the
00:37:31.100 same argument. I think we should get a little smarter and we should just boil it down. I
00:37:38.900 think we should be able to go, oh, we know your argument. You're just wearing a different
00:37:42.800 uniform oh you're wearing the red white and blue with the black uniform in the mask and you're
00:37:49.920 marching why because oh whites are supreme yeah i put you in the same box as those people over there
00:37:56.980 who are marching and saying that the palestinians are supreme and we should wipe out all the jews
00:38:03.160 you two you actually have a lot in common
00:38:06.720 it's the same argument which then should lead you to why does everyone hate us
00:38:18.540 why is all why do all of these groups hate us what do we believe that we have in common
00:38:26.220 the founding documents that's what they're really after that man can rule himself that we don't need
00:38:38.420 an overlord that we don't need somebody telling us you can't fix your effing truck
00:38:45.160 that you have to follow religion my way that you have to keep your temperature at this
00:38:52.780 temperature because whatever it is it's always good for the collective what we have in common
00:39:00.180 on our side is we believe in the power of the individual and not in some irresponsible way
00:39:07.300 where we say screw everybody else we know because the american experiment proved it to be true
00:39:15.680 man can rule himself and he can change the world for good
00:39:23.120 more in a minute
00:39:26.180 most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water
00:39:33.620 you turn the faucet on you fill a glass and you assume it's fine and it's been that way all of
00:39:37.940 our lives right right right well when you were a kid you didn't even think about you know filling
00:39:43.520 your glass from the tap with water? Of course not. And maybe you haven't as an adult either,
00:39:48.520 but there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine? That is a common agricultural pesticide.
00:39:53.380 There are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals with this stuff, and it's known to
00:39:57.540 run off into water sources. There's fluoride that the government puts into water, of course,
00:40:03.460 for teeth, but like, yeah, do you want that? Do you not want it? Do you want to take it out? You

00:42:40.120 Glenn Beck will be back right after this.
00:42:53.060 uh coming up in just a minute i'll tell you a little bit about the uh weekend and the uh
00:43:13.120 weekend here in washington dc it was it was remarkable uh so many great uh police officers
00:43:20.980 so much great Secret Service, DHS, all of the people that made it safe here.
00:43:27.040 I mean, there were some bad apples, but there's always some bad apples.
00:43:31.160 But, you know, some things that I saw that, you know, are worth repeating.
00:43:36.360 And I watched Young George Washington.
00:43:40.400 I brought my family to Young George Washington last night here in the nation's capital.
00:43:44.220 And we watched it.
00:43:45.420 And I was struck by the way George Washington ended in the movie.
00:43:50.980 He's talking to his troops, and he said almost exactly the same line that Donald Trump said at the end of his speech on 4th of July.
00:44:00.760 More coming up.
00:44:06.580 We're living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about, how it came to be.
00:44:12.440 And we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history, but that's not how it happened.
00:44:18.240 That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now.
00:44:22.280 This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was won,
00:44:27.160 before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol.
00:44:31.160 And it shows you the young man he really was.
00:44:33.460 Not perfect, not polished, but somebody who is shaped by failures, hard decisions, and courage,
00:44:39.420 and by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work.
00:44:42.740 Great leaders are not created in comfort.
00:44:44.800 They're forged when things are hard.
00:44:46.520 when stepping forward costs you something.
00:44:49.400 With the 250th anniversary of America right around the corner,
00:44:54.000 this is a powerful way to market.
00:44:55.860 Take your family, take your kids, your grandkids,
00:44:57.820 and connect them to the story that started all of this.
00:45:01.020 See Young Washington in theaters July 3rd.

00:46:02.660 Hello, America.
00:46:03.760 From the nation's capital, this is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:46:10.360 The 4th of July was, I mean, I don't even know how to describe it.
00:46:13.860 If you weren't there, unfortunately, a lot of people, the crowd was cut in half because there was a threat of really violent lightning storms.
00:46:24.560 And so the government, I mean, you know, and I get it.
00:46:28.920 If you're on government property, you can sue them and say, it's their fault.
00:46:33.360 They didn't tell us.
00:46:34.440 And so they were like, everybody off our property.
00:46:36.280 You can go stand in the street someplace.
00:46:38.380 You're not suing us.
00:46:39.700 So it was all a liability thing, which was just ridiculous.
00:46:43.400 but that's the world we live in but only about half of the people came back and uh it's sad
00:46:48.420 because it was one of the most incredible firework shows i have ever seen uh rob our engineer was
00:46:55.060 there and he took some video and some shots of it uh that you know if you happen to be watching
00:46:59.600 the blaze you can you can watch uh because it i mean he had a vantage point right by the uh
00:47:05.140 the kennedy center that was just saw all of the barges at once and at the end the washington post
00:47:11.340 was right it does create some smoke lots of smoke like i've never seen before it was incredible
00:47:17.680 but anyway uh i want to talk to you about something else that was happening on our 250th
00:47:22.700 a bunch of white uh racists extremists the patriot front whatever they are i'm going to explain who
00:47:29.600 they are here in a second but i want to talk about this uh because i denounce them i despise them i
00:47:36.280 think they're an embarrassment to the United States of America just as much as the Klan or
00:47:41.480 anybody else. And we'll talk about that here coming up in just a second. First, let me tell
00:47:46.500 you about chapter. What have I told you? The most expensive mistake you could make with Medicare
00:47:51.180 might be thinking that you already understand it. Because on the surface, it all sounds pretty
00:47:56.580 straightforward. And then you start looking at the different plans, the different coverage options,
00:48:00.900 the deadlines, the out-of-pocket costs, the prescription drugs, the plans, everything.
00:48:05.940 And then you do 30 minutes of research and 17 browser tabs open and you're more confused than when you started.
00:48:13.220 That's exactly why Chapter exists.
00:48:15.860 Chapter is not tied to a single insurance company.
00:48:19.580 They're licensed advisors and they can help you compare all of the available plans that are out there from all of the carriers.
00:48:26.760 And they can explain the difference in plain English.
00:48:28.960 And they'll help you find the coverage that fits your doctors, your prescriptions, your budget, your need.
00:48:33.920 And the best part is their guidance doesn't cost you anything, so call them.
00:48:38.840 You've spent a lifetime working and planning and paying into Medicare.
00:48:41.800 When it comes to time to choose one, don't guess on a commercial break.
00:48:45.280 Don't do it.
00:48:46.000 Talk to the people who do this every day.
00:48:48.000 Hit pound 250.
00:48:49.260 Just dial pound 250.
00:48:51.280 Say the keyword chapter.
00:48:52.440 Pound 250, keyword chapter.
00:48:54.700 Do it now.
00:48:57.020 So there's this horrible photograph from Saturday morning that went around the world.
00:49:01.620 It was a black woman sitting alone on a metro bench in Washington, D.C., and it looked very much like Rosa Parks.
00:49:11.300 Here it is, the 250th, 4th of July, and this woman all by herself on the bus, sitting alone, surrounded by these masked men in matching shirts.
00:49:22.400 She looks up.
00:49:23.600 There's nowhere for this woman to run.
00:49:25.300 can't imagine what that would imagine what it would feel like you're the only
00:49:29.780 white guy on the metro and you're surrounded by black lives matter people you comfortable
00:49:35.980 i'd be i would be freaking out and i'm sure she was pray for her
00:49:45.280 so that's where we have to start not with their manifesto i want to start with her
00:49:52.620 Those men rose up out of the ground in pressed khakis and navy shirts and faces hidden behind white cloth and sunglasses.
00:50:00.440 And they marched towards the Capitol with a drumbeat, carrying American flags, some of them turned upside down.
00:50:06.100 They waved the Confederate battle flag, the banner of men who tried to rip this country in half to preserve chains.
00:50:13.720 on Independence Day
00:50:16.520 next to the dome
00:50:19.320 to a drum
00:50:21.620 and they call themselves
00:50:23.540 the Patriot Front
00:50:24.540 Patriot
00:50:27.460 I'd like to take that word
00:50:33.860 from these abominations
00:50:35.440 right now
00:50:36.120 you don't deserve the word
00:50:37.220 Patriot
00:50:37.820 they crawled out of Texas
00:50:40.860 their leader
00:50:42.160 Thomas Rousseau
00:50:43.160 built this after charlottesville 2017 after a man drove into a crowd and killed uh heather hire i
00:50:51.340 think was her name right when his old crew got too toxic he rebranded it same poison put it in
00:50:59.880 a clean shirt sharp creases wrapped it in a flag 13 stars around a bundle of sticks and an axe what
00:51:06.480 is that that's the fascis let me make this really clear that bundle of sticks with an axe is not
00:51:14.060 some clever little logo it's the oldest symbol of raw collectivist power on earth in ancient rome
00:51:21.760 the fascis meant strength comes only when everyone is bound together in one tight bundle under one
00:51:27.980 authority now this can be something like ben franklin saying the 13 colonies come together
00:51:33.820 and you can't break the arrows, okay?
00:51:36.820 But that's not a current reading of this.
00:51:40.540 The individual stick is weak and breakable.
00:51:43.080 Only when you tie them all together under the axe,
00:51:46.040 the power to punish, do you have real force.
00:51:49.960 Mussolini took that symbol and built fascism on it.
00:51:52.560 So that's when it takes a new meaning, okay?
00:51:55.680 These men in masks took the same symbol,
00:51:58.220 painted it red, white, and blue,
00:51:59.640 and dared you not to notice.
00:52:01.600 And it's not subtle.
00:52:02.500 i mean they're not subtle it is the philosophy that the group the tribe the collective is
00:52:10.160 everything and the lone human is nothing that's why it was so frightening to see that young girl
00:52:16.420 on the train all by herself now i want you to look at what they believe in their own words
00:52:21.460 because i i saw people say oh yeah let's hear the let's hear the right talk about these guys
00:52:27.800 Okay, here we are.
00:52:29.180 Here we are.
00:52:30.040 Will you do anything like this for your side?
00:52:33.140 No.
00:52:34.260 But I challenge you.
00:52:35.440 I want to believe you will.
00:52:36.620 So prove me wrong.
00:52:39.600 In their own words, they believe American identity is inherited through blood and not ink.
00:52:45.300 That this land belongs by birthright to European descendants only.
00:52:50.160 They want a whites-only ethnostate.
00:52:53.120 They want a, quote, hard reset.
00:52:55.120 Boy, didn't that sound familiar.
00:52:57.300 Democracy failed. Doesn't that sound familiar?
00:53:00.100 The republic is dead. Doesn't that sound familiar?
00:53:03.760 America is a carcass to carve up and rebuild for the right bloodlines.
00:53:09.440 Saturday, they chanted, reclaim America, demanded mass deportations,
00:53:14.520 and then rode the train home past that woman on the bench.
00:53:19.360 Don't fall for the act, gang. Don't do it.
00:53:21.840 I know you won't. You're not that stupid.
00:53:24.300 They curse the government. They snarl at the state.
00:53:27.300 And some people think, well, at least they're against Washington. No, these are not small
00:53:33.320 government men. They do not want you to be free no matter what your color is. They want you to
00:53:39.140 be owned by the tribe, by the blood, by the collective that seizes you at birth and never
00:53:45.240 lets you go. There is nothing smaller than a man under blood and soil ideology. He's not a soul.
00:53:54.200 he's just a cell in the body
00:53:57.460 the patriot front is an abomination
00:53:59.640 full stop, no ifs, ands
00:54:01.520 or buts, period
00:54:02.780 peel back every mask
00:54:06.960 you've seen this face before
00:54:09.240 you've seen this face
00:54:11.580 on the man who blames the Jews
00:54:13.580 for everything, every war, every crash
00:54:15.620 every string pulled in the dark
00:54:17.080 it's the Jews' fault
00:54:18.060 their leaked chats are drenched in it
00:54:21.260 the Jewish question
00:54:22.500 Hitler's book passed around like it's scripture
00:54:26.280 the mask marcher and the Jew hater
00:54:29.320 they're not cousins, they're the same men
00:54:31.540 but I go further, you've seen this face
00:54:35.360 you've seen it before, on the BLM activist
00:54:38.080 on the professor, the pundit
00:54:40.680 who looks at the white child and sees an oppressor
00:54:44.160 by birth, they're the oppressor
00:54:47.120 who assigns guilt and virtue by skin color
00:54:50.440 the day you draw breath who puts every white man in the same guilty bucket word for word same
00:54:56.840 sentence they just flip which blood is cursed but they're the same people let me go further
00:55:04.800 you've seen it with antifa they tell you the rich capitalist is the enemy they have to be smashed
00:55:12.480 they have to be hung they need a guillotine you've seen it in the socialist who says the problem is
00:55:18.240 always the capitalist class, and the solution is always more state control over your life.
00:55:23.020 You've seen it in the Islamist or the Palestinian activist who's gone bat crap crazy, who chanced
00:55:28.500 that the Jew is the root of all evil and must be driven out from the river to the sea.
00:55:33.720 Every single version that blames an entire group, black, white, immigrant, Jew, rich, poor,
00:55:39.560 capitalist, it doesn't matter. They're doing the same thing, and they're offering the same cure.
00:55:45.020 A hard reset. A great reset. More power to the right tribe. More hatred of the wrong tribe. More division into us versus them. It's the same game every single time. Every time. Blame the group.
00:56:06.940 Never the individual choices or the ideas, then demand a reset that gives the correct collective more control, more tribes, more uniforms, more loyalty tests, more enemies to hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
00:56:20.940 It doesn't matter if the uniform is khakis and masks, black block and masks, kefas, academic robes.
00:56:32.900 It's the same lie wearing different clothing.
00:56:37.060 The individual over there, the one that we hate in that group, that soul doesn't matter.
00:56:43.040 Only the blood, only the class, only the identity, only the grievance.
00:56:46.960 once you accept that premise the solution is always the same tear down the old empower the
00:56:53.660 tribe that agrees with you and punish the rest that's why all of these groups must be rejected
00:56:59.560 you reject one you must reject all of them this is why socialism is so dangerous it requires you
00:57:06.480 to hate the capitalist as a class enemy this is why race essentialism on any side is poison
00:57:15.520 this is why
00:57:17.160 from the river to the sea
00:57:19.140 it's not geography
00:57:20.340 it's a call to erase an entire group of people
00:57:24.000 this is why
00:57:25.480 blood and soil nationalism
00:57:27.240 is not patriotism
00:57:28.620 it's tribalism
00:57:29.660 it's Nazism
00:57:31.260 with better PR
00:57:32.700 that's it
00:57:33.500 they all spring from the same rotten root
00:57:38.320 the belief that your worth
00:57:42.440 is decided by a group
00:57:43.740 that you were born into
00:57:46.220 and that fixing the world means
00:57:49.060 giving your group more power
00:57:50.500 over everybody else's group.
00:57:53.940 Our enemies.
00:57:56.920 Foreign and domestic.
00:57:59.520 Oh man, they love feeding us this poison.
00:58:03.300 They'll just keep feeding us these poisons.
00:58:06.080 They want us to believe all of it.
00:58:08.500 So we'll divide ourselves and destroy ourselves.
00:58:11.480 If we grow weak,
00:58:13.000 on the Declaration and the American system
00:58:16.040 and our Judeo-Christian values
00:58:18.300 that say it's the individual,
00:58:20.400 we're going to fall for one of these versions.
00:58:22.800 One of them.
00:58:23.340 I don't know which one you'll fall for,
00:58:25.100 but the promise is the same thing.
00:58:27.180 More control, more hatred, and more tribes.
00:58:29.680 They're all the same.
00:58:37.820 And there is only one cure.
00:58:43.000 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:58:56.960 And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.
00:59:02.080 your rights don't come from bloodline
00:59:06.880 they don't come from ancestry
00:59:09.300 not by class
00:59:10.440 not from a committee
00:59:11.460 they come from your creator
00:59:14.300 you're not a cell
00:59:16.080 you're a soul
00:59:17.400 you're made in the image of God
00:59:19.380 one at a time
00:59:20.640 he's named you
00:59:22.100 that sentence is the most anti-tribal
00:59:27.560 anti-collectivist
00:59:28.680 anti-fascist declaration
00:59:30.220 in all of human history
00:59:31.540 It indicts the Klansman and the Nazi and the race essentialist, the socialist class warrior, the Islamist collective, and every other mirror version of the same lie, no matter what their uniform is that they're wearing today.
00:59:51.800 The founders bet everything they had on ink.
00:59:55.640 their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor.
01:00:05.640 Lincoln called this a proposition.
01:00:09.300 The Constitution is ink.
01:00:12.460 The Emancipation is ink.
01:00:15.480 Women's suffrage is ink.
01:00:17.720 Equal protection, ink.
01:00:19.300 Ink poured over all the blood to make the sin right.
01:00:26.880 Every collectivist movement, the Patriot Front, and all of its cousins
01:00:31.580 want to burn the ink and crawl back into the tribe.
01:00:37.700 Condemn them, loudly, all of them, by name.
01:00:44.340 The Patriot Front is an abomination
01:00:47.560 And so is every other version of the same evil
01:00:52.360 They call themselves left or right
01:00:55.060 It doesn't matter
01:00:56.340 It's evil
01:00:57.680 But before you ride off at the sunset thinking you're a hero
01:01:05.740 Make sure you check your own saddle first
01:01:07.500 Do you cheer when those people get blamed as a group?
01:01:11.220 Do you nod when a baby is born guilty by skin or class?
01:01:18.220 Do you laugh when your foes and celebrate when your foes die?
01:01:25.220 Do you share the post that reduces millions to their blood or to their bank account?
01:01:33.220 Because if you do, you are just marching as well.
01:01:36.220 You just left the mask at home.
01:01:41.220 You know what I love about the Constitution and the Declaration?
01:01:43.680 It doesn't take any prisoners, and it doesn't play favorites, ever, ever.
01:01:48.900 It indicts every last one of us who judges a soul by a tribe.
01:01:55.300 And what's amazing is they were just as flawed as we are.
01:01:58.540 The men who wrote it were flawed.
01:02:00.960 They owned slaves while penning all men are created equal.
01:02:04.280 The miracle is that they wrote that promise anyway,
01:02:08.420 a check bigger than they could cash.
01:02:11.220 and they dared us to make good on it.
01:02:16.660 You want to call yourself a patriot?
01:02:18.560 A true patriot is still trying.
01:02:21.400 A true patriot still believes those things,
01:02:24.200 still argues for those things,
01:02:26.580 still laying fresh ink over old blood,
01:02:29.280 refusing to let the tribe win.
01:02:31.700 My tribe, your tribe, none of the tribes.
01:02:37.220 The men in the mask just want to tear up that check.
01:02:41.220 So does anyone, left, right, or disguised, who looks at your face and thinks they already know your worth by your blood, your class, or your group.
01:02:53.680 Man, I don't know what's happened to me this week here in Washington.
01:02:58.100 I have such a clear understanding of the Declaration and of the Founders.
01:03:02.020 I do.
01:03:03.460 And once you do, you see the game and you stop picking teams.
01:03:09.080 the left wants you to use this moment and say
01:03:12.300 see I told you
01:03:13.580 I want to use it and say the same thing
01:03:16.400 about the real enemy
01:03:17.420 collectivism
01:03:20.700 in every
01:03:22.180 uniform left or right it doesn't
01:03:24.480 matter we have to stand together
01:03:26.680 on the principles in
01:03:28.360 the declaration that make every
01:03:30.240 one of these movements irrelevant
01:03:32.100 and alone
01:03:33.420 they should be the one on the bus by themselves
01:03:38.380 it'd be the other way know the difference and never ever let it blur back in a minute
01:03:46.480 you know when you're young you have a uh you have a very simple a very simple definition of a good
01:03:52.940 day did you go someplace fun did you see your friends you do something exciting when you get
01:03:58.140 older the definition of good kind of changes a little bit good days when your back doesn't bother
01:04:02.600 you my favorite t-shirt came from my daughter she gave it to me for christmas says uh my favorite
01:04:06.920 memory of my child is when my back didn't hurt. So true. When your knees don't complain going up
01:04:13.180 the stairs, when you don't have to think about your hands every time you open a jar or pick up
01:04:17.200 a grandchild or a child. It's why I'm such a big believer in Relief Factor, created by doctors to
01:04:22.560 help reduce the occasional aches and pains that are associated with inflammation. Over a million
01:04:27.220 people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to order more month after

01:05:12.840 But I'm going to be speaking there tonight.
01:05:16.320 And I think you can get tickets.

01:05:32.280 Freedom Fest in Vegas.
01:05:34.360 Kind of a weird bookend of the week, but I hope to see you there.
01:05:39.920 Also, if you missed, I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago,
01:05:42.920 and I gave a speech on the USS Midway,
01:05:47.640 and I talked briefly about the history of Midway Island
01:05:52.260 and how the U.S. came to possess it.
01:05:55.120 Did you know that?
01:05:56.480 Do you know how the Midway, how we got those islands?
01:05:59.900 This is the craziest thing.
01:06:02.680 Bird crap.
01:06:04.400 We were out in the middle of nowhere, and a captain, this is in the 1800s,
01:06:08.440 and an island pops up, and it's a little teeny island, and he's like,
01:06:11.680 oh my gosh, look at that, it's full of bird crap.
01:06:14.260 And at the time, because we needed fertilizer, bird crap was worth a fortune.
01:06:18.280 And so we're like, we claim this bird crap for the United States of America.
01:06:21.740 and it turns out to be one of the critical battles in World War II, the Midway.

01:06:59.540 hold them know when to fold them i learned that from kenny rogers the chicken guy anyway real
01:07:06.420 estate is surprisingly similar uh sometimes the best negotiation isn't pushing harder sometimes
01:07:12.840 it's knowing just when to hold firm when to ask for one more concession or when you know just to
01:07:17.080 walk away because it just doesn't make sense. That kind of judgment doesn't come from reading
01:07:22.560 a book. It comes from experience. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust. I wanted

01:08:14.000 I want to play, uh, I want to play something. Uh, the Ayatollah Khomeini, um, his funeral was
01:08:37.280 this weekend now here is a woman who worked with um senator warren okay a democratic socialist
01:08:45.700 senator warren and i want you to hear what she said she's sitting over in the middle east
01:08:52.260 attending the funeral of the ayatollah and this is what she says on social media listen
01:08:58.580 he was a leader to all people of the world who struggle against imperialism against arrogance
01:09:04.720 against Zionism, against genocide.
01:09:07.860 To me, he was the greatest anti-imperialist leader
01:09:11.680 to have lived during my lifetime.
01:09:21.660 Well, that's interesting.
01:09:28.060 I don't have what I want to talk to you.
01:09:29.980 I worked on this for a couple of hours last night,
01:09:33.180 And I just can't, I can't get it right. And I need your help because we're talking over each other. We're talking around each other. We're not talking to each other. And it's becoming so clear that we have so much in common or should have so much in common.
01:09:51.260 When did that stop becoming a problem for Democrats?
01:09:54.700 When did someone going over to the Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral in Iran not be a problem in the Democratic Party?
01:10:07.960 And I don't want to win.
01:10:10.780 Honestly, what I'm about to tell you, I'm not looking to win.
01:10:14.460 What I would like is if somebody would just pause and go, okay, now wait a minute, that's a fair question.
01:10:21.260 And I'm not trying to get you to think something.
01:10:26.600 I'm trying to get you to answer something, to question something.
01:10:31.820 And I don't know what your answer is, and I want the honest answer.
01:10:36.640 And I'm going to question some things, but not because you're my enemy, not because you're stupid.
01:10:42.700 I don't want an apology or anything else.
01:10:46.060 I really, honestly want your help in understanding something.
01:10:51.260 because of the better part of 20 years now,
01:10:56.160 I have been warning that the Democratic Party
01:10:58.680 has been changing and not liberal, okay?
01:11:04.380 That's different.
01:11:05.360 I was the one who brought the progressives
01:11:07.560 to the forefront and said,
01:11:08.600 this is what a progressive means.
01:11:11.820 I've been defining these things
01:11:14.260 based on their actual meanings.
01:11:16.580 and um and i said at the time back in 2008 you know it's really in fact i said this in 2004
01:11:24.640 why are you putting a socialist in the presidential box this is dangerous they're not you're not using
01:11:30.160 them they will eat you in the end because they actually believe in these socialist things and
01:11:35.920 that's not the same as being a democrat what are you doing and it seems like democrats are
01:11:41.520 increasingly comfortable with ideas that not too long ago both parties considered well outside of
01:11:48.800 the american mainstream socialism and now it's starting to edge into actually saying communism
01:11:55.480 identity politics replacing class solidarity growing hostility towards capitalism an uneasy
01:12:07.280 relationship with israel and you know what that one i kind of understand we should have an uneasy
01:12:12.800 i have an uneasy relationship with all countries
01:12:15.260 but in particular the growing anti-semitism and as i said these things 20 years ago i was called
01:12:25.720 all kinds of names i i was i was hit by progressive jewish organizations as being an anti-semite to
01:12:34.120 say that anti-Semitism was coming because it always comes with socialism and collectivism.
01:12:44.260 You always say a democratic socialist, that's a Republican talking point. No, it isn't. I was
01:12:50.720 using a technical term. Nobody's going to be an American socialist. Okay. All right. But here's
01:12:59.980 where I get confused here. Now, now everybody is trying to change in America into socialists,
01:13:07.660 a socialist country. I mean, I remember when Barack Obama was asked if he was a socialist,
01:13:13.800 he didn't embrace the label. He rejected it. In fact, he called me all kinds of names for
01:13:19.940 even suggesting that he liked Karl Marx or Mao or communism or Marxism or socialism.
01:13:29.980 Joe Biden didn't campaign as a socialist.
01:13:34.460 Over and over again, he said, I'm a Democrat.
01:13:36.720 Nancy Pelosi said socialism was not the Democratic Party.
01:13:45.020 And I think at their time, they believed that.
01:13:49.740 They just didn't realize they were playing footsies with people who would not forgive them for using them.
01:13:59.980 Now, whether whether they personally admired parts of Europe's, you know, social democracies, they believed Americans still drew a bright line between liberalism and socialism, real socialism.
01:14:12.660 And that distinction mattered. I think that's where we started. But today, does it?
01:14:19.280 Today, candidates openly call themselves democratic socialists. They are no longer dismissed as fringe voices in a large part of the party.
01:14:29.580 They're winning elections. They're shaping debates. They're influencing the direction of democratic politics.
01:14:36.060 And I'm not asking you whether you agree with them. I'm asking you, I think, something that I think is simpler.
01:14:44.700 Why did that stop bothering you?
01:14:50.440 I'm hoping it still does, but if it does, how come I don't hear Democrats saying it?
01:14:56.740 I mean, you just heard what I said about the Patriot. You should be condemning them like I just condemned the Patriot front without exception.
01:15:09.620 Here's another question. You tell me Donald Trump represents authoritarianism.
01:15:14.400 OK, I'm just just for the sake of argument, I'm going to say everything you've ever said about him is right.
01:15:19.280 OK, I don't agree with that, but let's just assume that your concerns are completely justified.
01:15:24.400 then shouldn't you become even more skeptical when someone promises that more power should be concentrated in Washington?
01:15:34.500 Shouldn't every American left or right become suspicious whenever government is presented as the answer to every problem?
01:15:43.120 You know, you fought for socialized medicine, and I told you it wouldn't work, and it's not working.
01:15:50.880 It only made things higher because that's what happens when government gets involved.
01:15:54.900 And now, as I told you, they would.
01:15:56.400 They're pushing for even more socialized medicine.
01:15:59.280 Look at what's happening in Canada.
01:16:00.580 Look what's happening in Britain.
01:16:01.600 Look what's happening in Scandinavia.
01:16:03.600 It doesn't work.
01:16:06.160 But they're pushing for more power.
01:16:08.700 If too much power in Donald Trump is dangerous, isn't too much power in government worth questioning as well?
01:16:15.380 Do you really trust everyone on your side, especially those who say, yeah, I'm a democratic socialist. I don't believe in capitalism. I kind of lean towards communism a bit. Don't you think we should have smaller government if that's even a possibility?
01:16:30.260 i really want to know when did capitalism when did the free market because i have a problem with the
01:16:41.040 way capitalism is being done it's it's grotesque and why is it grotesque because it got into bed
01:16:47.100 with big government so why would we make the government even more powerful why would we give
01:16:54.100 the government more power to be able to do things behind everybody's back and get into bed with
01:16:59.880 these politicians that's not a problem with just the republicans that's a problem with all of
01:17:04.400 washington but when did the when did the free market become something to apologize for
01:17:10.620 not reform not improve apologize for to detest
01:17:16.980 my my grandparents were democrats till the day they died why because of fdr
01:17:25.560 are, because they remember him defending the worker. The worker who wanted jobs, the factories,
01:17:33.740 the small businesses, a chance to own their own home, to build something, to pass something
01:17:40.560 on to their children. They didn't see success in small businesses as something shameful.
01:17:47.140 They wanted more Americans to achieve it. When did that language begin to change?
01:17:55.560 And what really breaks my heart is something I never thought we would do, because I don't think Democrats hate Jewish people. I really don't.
01:18:10.300 I don't believe that most Democrats support Hamas. I don't. I don't believe most Democrats support the Ayatollah Khamenei.
01:18:20.700 but but how come i'm not hearing people going that person can never become there can never
01:18:28.700 come back and work with elizabeth warren and elizabeth warren should be questioned how did
01:18:32.520 you have this person on your staff when jewish americans tell you something deeply disturbing
01:18:38.220 has changed when they tell you they no longer feel welcome inside parts of the coalition they
01:18:44.220 helped build when they hear slogans that sound less like calls for peace and more like calls
01:18:49.900 for their elimination.
01:18:54.080 Do you even hear that anymore?
01:18:58.260 I'm not accusing you.
01:18:59.580 I'm genuinely asking you,
01:19:01.240 do you hear it anymore?
01:19:03.640 Do you believe that the Jews
01:19:04.920 are just imagining it?
01:19:06.580 Have you just dismissed it
01:19:07.900 for some reason or another?
01:19:09.060 Can you even bring yourself
01:19:10.040 to look at it?
01:19:11.280 How are you dismissing it?
01:19:12.960 Do you think they're overreacting?
01:19:16.100 Or do you quietly admit
01:19:17.520 that something has changed
01:19:19.000 But you're hoping that it's not going to turn into something bad and someone else deals with it.
01:19:30.400 Because maybe that's the way I would deal with it if I were a Democrat.
01:19:33.360 Maybe I would be like, somebody else, it's not going to turn into that.
01:19:37.360 And I ask because I remember another Democratic Party, Harry Truman, recognized Israel within minutes of its birth.
01:19:44.400 John Kennedy stood against Soviet communism.
01:19:47.240 They knew what it was. Democrats, Republicans argued constantly, but they generally, generally agreed that Marxism was bad and not the future of America. And that wasn't controversial ever. It was common ground. And the Democrats denied that they were going that way in 2008, 9, 10, all the way up till about a year and a half ago.
01:20:12.740 and i don't know the question i i mean i wish i could have a series of questions that could
01:20:19.240 really truly be disarming that wouldn't sound accusatory and i struggled with this because i
01:20:26.460 don't i don't know how to put it because look i have i have people in my own family who wrote
01:20:32.240 some horrible things in family text this this weekend and accused me of you know fascism and
01:20:41.480 everything else and it made me sad it made me go that that's not who i am and and really you
01:20:51.720 really think that about me that i am for fascism huh and i just wanted to ask wait wait but how
01:21:05.360 do you feel about communism how are you dismissing these things and i think the only thing that you
01:21:10.420 could say that i could understand is you're just hoping that that's not really a problem but
01:21:17.300 you must look at it because it is growing at an exponential rate
01:21:24.440 yes you can point to the patriot front and i just dealt with that clearly condemn that
01:21:32.820 i condemn that
01:21:40.420 Can you meet reasonable people halfway and say, look, we're not going to solve, you're not going to be convinced Donald Trump is a good guy. I'm not going to be convinced that, you know, Mamdani has, you know, the Patriots heart in mind.
01:21:55.860 He wants to fundamentally transform America into something that it is not, and that's not good.
01:22:04.280 But do we have anything in common anymore?
01:22:06.960 If I could somehow go back 15 years, if I could walk into a union hall or a neighborhood democratic club or a family barbecue,
01:22:16.060 and I could show you a video of today's political arguments,
01:22:21.780 I could show you that video and say, that's somebody with Elizabeth Warren.
01:22:25.860 I could show you, Mom Donnie, and what he said about America and people calling themselves Democratic Socialists and calling for the destruction of the Democratic Party, that capitalism is the problem, the engine that lifted people out of poverty, billions of people, the free market system.
01:22:47.260 I could show you the campus protests where chants are being said that leave Jewish students terrified.
01:22:57.900 Arguments whether America is a fundamental force for good or fundamentally a force for oppression that should be destroyed.
01:23:06.180 If I showed all of that to Democrats 15 years ago, would they say yes?
01:23:12.800 Yes, that's exactly where I hope our party ends up.
01:23:15.660 or would they stare at the screen and say that's crazy that's not true that's not us
01:23:21.940 i know because i said those things that's what they said to me that's not us that's crazy
01:23:27.560 that's a conspiracy theory that's what you that's what you are
01:23:32.240 but because i know that answer would be different today than it was
01:23:39.300 i guess the only question i want to ask you is why
01:23:44.440 why is it different
01:23:48.920 i really believe most people don't wake up one morning and and decide they've changed
01:23:57.260 most people don't some people do i did in my life with alcoholism sometimes that is required
01:24:03.800 but most people drift and drift doesn't work that way you know imagine leaving a harbor you check
01:24:10.680 your compass you know you're in the harbor you're checking your it's pointed exactly where you want
01:24:14.920 to go but the current moves you one degree and you're not watching the compass you're dismissing
01:24:19.120 the compass it's one degree you don't feel it the people around you don't notice the shoreline still
01:24:23.960 looks familiar everyone on the boat assures you're still on the right course days later weeks later
01:24:29.620 it's over you've drifted is it okay with you and if so why back in a minute
01:24:40.240 you know who never has to shop for insurance kids they don't wake up in the morning wondering you
01:24:49.200 know do i have coverage they don't care about policies they don't read the fine print they
01:24:53.380 just assume the grown-ups have it all yeah okay well thanks for that okay this is almost as good

01:26:36.500 As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question.
01:26:40.100 How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America?
01:26:44.660 The answer is probably going to surprise you.
01:26:46.660 More than 85% of the grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America.
01:26:52.680 That's not good.
01:26:54.560 One of the reasons I like good ranchers is because of that number.
01:26:57.300 They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door.
01:27:03.080 No imported mystery meat, just high-quality American beef, chicken, pork, and seafood raised right here.
01:27:10.200 I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

01:28:22.460 this is the glenn beck program hello america from the nation's capital this is the glenn beck
01:28:34.800 program we're glad you're here uh i want to talk to you a little bit about zoran mandani and and
01:28:40.020 what he said uh over the weekend he was speaking did a speech in new york city it was radically
01:28:45.340 different than you know any speech that i've ever heard given on fourth of july by an elected
01:28:50.740 official, but I want to play part of it. And I want to talk to you a little bit about the socialism
01:28:54.180 that we hear so much speak about. Because
01:28:57.920 just about everything that you know about socialism is probably outdated.
01:29:03.540 And I'll explain that coming up in 60 seconds. First, I want to talk to you about
01:29:06.760 the Berna launcher. Visit Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. And I want you to find the
01:29:10.780 right launcher for your family. And here's why. In the movie, when you
01:29:14.240 shoot somebody in self-defense, it's pretty simple. Somebody drapes a blanket over the
01:29:18.680 shoulders and you know hand you a cup of hot cocoa and detective stop spices you did the right thing
01:29:23.980 that's not the way it works it's really not that's not how life works um even in a completely
01:29:29.540 justified shooting it will change your life forever you go to jail for one thing there are
01:29:34.780 the investigations there may be court uh appearances and then all of the spiritual
01:29:39.900 scars that are there as well what did you do to another human life even though you were defending
01:29:44.520 yourself. It scars you. Please consider Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com, Burna dot com. Less lethal
01:29:52.500 launchers give you an option that can stop the threat without requiring that you use deadly
01:29:56.320 force. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com, Burna dot com. So here's Mamdani on July 4th. Listen to this.
01:30:09.300 As we mark 250 years, what do we see?
01:30:14.640 We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions.
01:30:19.240 We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world,
01:30:22.420 one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more.
01:30:27.700 We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections.
01:30:33.340 We see masked agents terrorizing our streets,
01:30:35.740 eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors
01:30:38.320 before spiriting them away in unmarked vans.
01:30:41.620 We see a nation whose immense wealth
01:30:43.800 has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands,
01:30:47.720 those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone.
01:30:51.460 And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth
01:30:53.840 to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
01:31:00.120 The soft hands of a precious few.
01:31:02.180 Let's just use Elon Musk.
01:31:05.740 Has he not earned his money? I mean, I don't know how you earn a trillion dollars, quite honestly. But does he not deserve what he has brought to the world through speech and technology, communications, what he has done for the world where they can now communicate freely in countries where you could not be free to speak?
01:31:33.320 he's got the satellite system up he's reinvented the car and given all of the tech he didn't put
01:31:40.940 a patent on it he gave the patents away for free so anyone can use it he is transforming
01:31:48.080 the idea of space he is building a space um a space economy which you won't understand for
01:31:59.120 another five to ten years but when that thing hits you will understand
01:32:04.460 he's he may have soft hands but he's done the intellectual plowing of almost every field
01:32:13.920 i don't want to get this you know i'm just tired of socialism i i'm tired i just wish we could have
01:32:22.720 an honest conversation but we we are dealing with so many people that are so uninformed yes
01:32:28.600 there are great disparities in wealth yes and you say and while they're buying elections yes
01:32:36.040 like soros do you mean soros or is he exempt because i would like the money to get out of
01:32:41.780 politics as well but it's not an honest fight most people who are saying that's not honest
01:32:49.000 if you have a problem with all the money in politics good good so do i if you have a problem
01:32:58.640 with corrupt capitalism so do i but the answer is not bigger government
01:33:04.480 but socialism will work let me tell you america's been told a really simple story for a very long
01:33:16.640 time. If America could only be more like Denmark. Now we're not even talking about Denmark or
01:33:21.560 Sweden, you know, or Norway anymore. We're not talking about that. They are talking about a
01:33:25.640 different kind of socialism now, but let's just say they're talking about, we just want to be
01:33:29.500 like Norway and Sweden. It's the favorite exhibit in almost every debate about capitalism in
01:33:36.760 government. The Nordic countries, they're proof socialism works. But before you remodel your house
01:33:42.600 after somebody else's blueprint let's walk through the front door first okay because the story that
01:33:48.740 almost everyone tells you about scandinavian nations leaves out the part that actually made
01:33:54.480 scandinavia successful the leaders themselves reject the label socialist don't believe me
01:34:03.720 look it up the former danish prime minister andres rasmussen or something came to the united states
01:34:11.740 and addressed it directly he said americans associate denmark with socialism then he added
01:34:18.820 and i'm quoting denmark is far from a socialist planned economy denmark is a market economy
01:34:26.560 wow how come it how come where are the posters for that that's a remarkable statement imagine
01:34:32.660 somebody insisting texas is a communist state while the governor keeps coming out going we're
01:34:37.260 not we're not we're texas we're not communist and yet the myth survives somehow
01:34:43.120 so what's really happening the nordic countries have built generous welfare states that part is
01:34:52.760 absolutely true they provide universal health coverage college is subsidized heavily subsidized
01:35:00.360 or free. Parents receive paid leave. Safety nets are extensive, but those benefits sit on top of
01:35:08.620 economies that depend on capitalism every single day. Not just capitalism, competitive capitalism,
01:35:16.120 strong property rights, private ownership, entrepreneurship, open trade, innovation,
01:35:23.420 businesses that are expected to compete in the marketplace rather than survive on government
01:35:28.300 protection those days are long gone and this is the part that never makes it to a campaign speech
01:35:35.100 according to the index of economic freedom denmark has consistently ranked among the freest
01:35:42.280 economies in the entire world the country most often used to argue against capitalism
01:35:50.060 scores routinely as the world's freest capitalist economy wow does that make you curious at all
01:35:58.200 at all? I mean, should we look into that?
01:36:03.460 During the post-war decades, Sweden dramatically expanded government spending,
01:36:09.680 the taxes, the regulation. By the 1970s and into the 1980s, economic growth slowed way down.
01:36:17.820 Investments weakened. Entrepreneurs left. Some of Sweden's most successful companies and business
01:36:23.520 leaders moved they just moved out of the country ikea relocated ownership to the netherlands
01:36:30.520 tetrapak moved to switzerland sweden's relative standing among wealthy nations fell sharply for
01:36:39.500 two decades and then everybody turns away and doesn't say so what happened next sweden didn't
01:36:46.720 double down okay they didn't double down it reversed course governments from both the left
01:36:53.460 and the right reduced regulations they reformed the pensions these are things we're not doing
01:37:00.300 they introduce private competition into education that's that'll never happen right
01:37:06.300 today more than 800 independent schools operate with public funding private companies run a
01:37:13.540 substantial share of the Swedish primary health centers. Taxes were restructured. Markets were
01:37:20.260 liberalized. The reforms were not a rejection of the welfare state. They were an acknowledgement
01:37:26.300 that somebody first has to create the wealth to pay for it. It's really hard to redistribute
01:37:34.180 prosperity after you've regulated prosperity out of existence. And that's what New York is doing.
01:37:39.800 And here's another fact that surprises most Americans.
01:37:44.820 The Nordic countries, they don't finance their governments primarily on taxing billionaires.
01:37:51.380 Did you know that?
01:37:53.560 Nope.
01:37:55.300 They tax everyone.
01:37:58.060 The cashier, the plumber, the teacher, the nurse, the mechanic.
01:38:02.660 Not just the billionaire, everyone.
01:38:04.900 In Denmark and Sweden, value-added taxes of around 25% apply to everyday purchases.
01:38:12.500 So that means if you want this, your taxes are going to go up at the very bottom,
01:38:17.320 and you're going to get a 25% VAT tax.
01:38:20.480 You buy shoes, furniture, television, dinner at a restaurant,
01:38:23.660 a significant amount of that, 25% goes to the government.
01:38:28.740 Income taxes are broad.
01:38:31.280 Payroll taxes are broad.
01:38:33.220 consumption taxes are broad meaning everybody pays them and the system works there because
01:38:41.380 almost everyone contributes now do you think americans are going to accept that because i don't
01:38:49.860 would you trade that another myth deserves some attention here many people believe scandinavia
01:38:58.780 punishes wealth more aggressively than america nope nope nope the reality is that several nordic
01:39:05.500 countries actually have abolished their wealth taxes because they don't work sweden get this one
01:39:11.540 no longer has an inheritance tax norway is debating reducing its wealth taxes because the high net
01:39:20.260 worth individuals are leaving the country that's what's happening in california where are they
01:39:26.060 going they're leaving new york to go to florida they're leaving california to go to texas if it
01:39:30.660 was all countrywide these extensive socialist taxes they'd leave america because the policymakers
01:39:38.540 understand something every country eventually discovers but we just don't capital moves
01:39:44.620 entrepreneurs move investments move governments compete as well
01:39:51.280 and here's one of the biggest misunderstandings we have it's it's on health care health care is
01:39:59.300 free it's not free it's never free nothing's free nordic health care systems are financed
01:40:06.100 through the taxes that every remember i told you everybody pays taxes citizens pay throughout
01:40:12.300 their working lives many systems also include copayments for doctor visits prescription drugs
01:40:18.360 or specialist care.
01:40:19.520 Look at Canada.
01:40:20.520 You're paying for private insurance
01:40:22.420 on top of it.
01:40:24.580 Now, different countries
01:40:25.340 use different arrangements.
01:40:26.560 Some are good, some are not.
01:40:27.920 The point is,
01:40:28.740 it's not that their systems are bad.
01:40:31.540 The point is that they're paid for
01:40:33.580 by the taxpayer
01:40:34.700 and not the billionaire.
01:40:37.220 Somebody always has to pay.
01:40:38.980 The bill doesn't just go away.
01:40:40.880 It just arrives
01:40:42.180 in a different envelope.
01:40:44.900 Let me give you this.
01:40:45.980 This is even more interesting.
01:40:47.220 Nordic countries,
01:40:48.360 are filled with private companies.
01:40:51.420 Filled with private companies, global companies,
01:40:55.400 innovative companies, successful companies,
01:40:57.580 Volvo, Ericsson, Lego, Spotify, Cone.
01:41:05.060 They all compete around the world.
01:41:07.780 And their governments expect them to succeed
01:41:10.160 because those companies generate the tax revenue
01:41:12.940 that supports the welfare system.
01:41:14.780 Why do you hate successful companies?
01:41:17.320 if they're expected to pay taxes.
01:41:21.000 But our taxes, everything is so screwed up here,
01:41:23.960 we've made special exemptions for everybody.
01:41:25.900 Everyone should pay taxes.
01:41:29.200 No successful business, no generous welfare state.
01:41:33.640 It's that simple.
01:41:34.880 You get rid of business, you don't have the welfare.
01:41:38.400 Another ingredient that economists often point to,
01:41:41.080 and that is trust, something we don't have.
01:41:43.780 Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway consistently are the highest trust societies in the world.
01:41:51.280 People generally believe their neighbors will obey the rules.
01:41:54.720 Now that's changing because of the border situation.
01:41:58.380 Government corruption is relatively low. It's not here.
01:42:02.400 Institutions enjoy broad public confidence. Not here. Look at the fraud that's going on.
01:42:07.200 That kind of social capital is incredibly valuable because it lowers the transaction cost. It simplifies regulation. It allows systems to function with fewer layers of enforcement. Trust, you cannot legislate trust. It develops over generations, and once it's gone, it's gone. And that's why culture matters, and institutions matter, and history matters.
01:42:33.640 i'm not i'm not selling the nordic model down the river and i'm not saying it's perfect it
01:42:41.620 has its strengths it has its weaknesses like every system designed by human beings
01:42:46.440 the real lesson here is not about socialism versus capitalism
01:42:52.320 the real lesson here i think is about intellectual honesty
01:42:58.620 If somebody proves or points to Denmark as proof that socialism works, now you have the information.
01:43:08.280 You have to say, would you acknowledge Denmark's commitment to private enterprise and taxes?
01:43:16.760 If somebody praises Sweden's welfare system, you want to mention Sweden's market reforms after 1990?
01:43:23.620 1990? Well, Finland, their public services, we want to mention Finland's strong support for
01:43:31.220 private business and global competition. You know, good ideas don't travel alone. Neither do bad
01:43:38.180 ones. The danger comes when we import only the policies we like while ignoring the conditions
01:43:46.180 that make them possible. It's like pointing to a championship football team and deciding the
01:43:52.020 secret to winning is a fancy stadium no no no it's not yeah but look at the stadium it's visible
01:43:57.500 yeah but the years of practice i don't see that well but they may not be visible
01:44:03.280 well it's it's really the secret is the trophy no it's the discipline that you don't see in the
01:44:09.020 in the case the welfare benefits are visible but the productive economy underneath often isn't
01:44:16.740 And every society eventually faces the same question.
01:44:21.380 How much can you distribute?
01:44:24.440 The answer depends on the other question that comes first.
01:44:28.220 How much can you produce?
01:44:32.460 That's the question that humbles governments.
01:44:35.660 History is filled with nations that become wealthy and then debate how to share the prosperity.
01:44:40.560 History is also filled with nations that try to distribute prosperity before they've created it.
01:44:46.740 And those stories always end the same way.
01:44:49.120 The pie shrinks.
01:44:50.200 Everybody receives a smaller slice.
01:44:53.380 The Nordic companies remind us something worth remembering.
01:44:56.900 Markets create wealth.
01:44:59.600 Governments redistribute that wealth should you choose.
01:45:03.520 But you can't redistribute wealth that no longer exists.
01:45:08.060 And that's what New York needs to learn.
01:45:11.160 Back in a minute.

01:46:47.020 how many of us remember
01:46:51.260 how many of us remember
01:46:54.380 what we're even living in today
01:46:57.040 and the value of this freedom
01:46:59.800 the things that we see
01:47:03.280 the things that we're able to accomplish
01:47:06.020 the God we can praise or not praise
01:47:10.020 for the first time in human history
01:47:13.280 men live like they've never lived before
01:47:16.840 And most Americans say, meh.
01:47:22.800 Remember where we have come from.
01:47:25.920 Remember what it has taken.
01:47:29.060 Remember those who have sacrificed so we can say, meh.
01:47:33.620 uh i'm really struck by um the fact that our answers are really easy and and today's theme
01:47:51.260 of today's show has really been you know all of these all of these uh organizations from the
01:47:58.160 democratic socialists to the patriot front to blm to the crazy palestinian you know fronts that are
01:48:06.440 screaming to the woman uh in that was with elizabeth warren who you know was just in iran
01:48:14.560 for the ayatollah khamenei chanting death to america they all have one thing in common and
01:48:21.060 that is a collective ideal, a collective point of view. God is the individual. God is the God
01:48:29.720 of the individual. That is, you know, I just saw somebody say this weekend, who was it? It's
01:48:36.480 one of the thoughts that we have that, you know, we don't have a national religion. You're right.
01:48:43.420 And I don't want a national religion, but we do have national principles and they come from the
01:48:48.380 judeo-christian religion the judeo-christian tradition of that the individual matters
01:48:55.180 look at what we've accomplished between understanding the declaration of independence
01:49:02.000 and then having gratitude for everything that we witness good and bad today our life having

01:50:31.600 slash torch
01:50:57.040 Wow
01:50:59.040 yako buens is with me uh now and um yako is the lead pastor of mercy culture church in washington
01:51:08.360 dc i saw you was it saturday saturday um and we were at the victims of communism uh museum which
01:51:17.020 is always a delight always fun yes a really amazing museum and everybody should go and see it
01:51:21.580 but um we were there and we were talking and i said what are you up to you know how's the church
01:51:25.080 going. And you told me that you had just, you were struggling to find a church for a long time.
01:51:31.340 You found one, you finally started one, doing great work, and then you were evicted. Is that
01:51:37.540 right? Yeah. Tell the story. So Mercy Culture Church founded in Fort Worth, Texas, eight campuses
01:51:44.100 in Texas, now a campus in Orange County. So we launched the campus in Washington, DC, and we
01:51:49.260 become a bit of nomads to find a building. It's not easy to find a building in this city.
01:51:53.440 come to find out that during the Biden administration, they opened a little window
01:51:59.240 where they told churches, if you sell your property, you could sell it to developers.
01:52:02.980 So a lot of churches left. And now we're trying to find a church. So we go building the building.
01:52:08.680 We finally find a building. We sign an agreement, contract. We're still under contract.
01:52:13.940 And we start getting complaints from the building. They're saying, well, listen, hold on one second.
01:52:18.540 You're very political. I said, we're not political. It's just spiritual.
01:52:22.860 I said, what is it that's political?
01:52:24.300 They said, well, you're saying you're anti-abortion.
01:52:27.500 You're saying that there's two genders.
01:52:30.060 You're saying that kids should not be transified.
01:52:33.300 You're saying things that are just political.
01:52:35.280 I said, it's not political.
01:52:36.240 It's scripture.
01:52:37.540 But wouldn't the saying the opposite be political?
01:52:40.420 Because that's what the churches around here are preaching.
01:52:42.440 Why isn't them advocating political?
01:52:45.140 I start diving, Glenn, because it's my relationship with the Lord,
01:52:48.200 and my relationship with the Lord and everybody's relationship
01:52:50.440 is a one-on-one personal relationship.
01:52:51.920 So I start diving in and I start digging, digging.
01:52:54.420 I'm digging back 230 years.
01:52:57.000 So I find a church, the oldest church here in Georgetown, Episcopalian.
01:53:02.340 Not that the denomination matters, but I find this church and we go to this church and we
01:53:06.960 get put on a tour inside this church because I'm now looking for what powers and principalities
01:53:11.540 are operating in this city.
01:53:13.680 Why is there this cloud of confusion over this city?
01:53:16.840 Why can a politician do well in his home state, get elected to national Congress, show
01:53:21.820 up here and all of a sudden these colors change what is that it's are people just selling their
01:53:27.480 souls and then you find that no there are demonic strongholds in this city that has been given right
01:53:33.120 a passage dominion a home inside the church the church in this city and i'm not saying every
01:53:39.540 church but come to find on this tour there are 13 churches in this city that are 200 plus years old
01:53:47.160 that run on the principle that they are, and they say this,
01:53:51.820 they said it out loud to us in person,
01:53:53.900 that they are the collective mind of the Holy Spirit,
01:53:58.500 which is blasphemy, blasphemy.
01:54:01.880 Everything we've talked about today, everything I've talked about,
01:54:04.780 God is the God of the individual, not the collective.
01:54:07.720 They're the collective mind of the Holy Spirit.
01:54:10.300 So they speak for the Holy Spirit.
01:54:12.440 They decide, and they're very braggadociously.
01:54:15.000 Now, the guy who's touring me doesn't know I'm a pastor because we're looking at buildings that I know found out.
01:54:20.660 If you tell them I'm a pastor, they're definitely not going to work with you.
01:54:24.580 We're even looking at signing a lease under an LLC name or something different.
01:54:30.180 So this guy tours us and he said, listen, do you know the woman?
01:54:33.780 He asked if I know the woman who scolded the president right after the National Cathedral, right after his inauguration.
01:54:42.220 I said, I don't know her, but I know of her.
01:54:45.000 And I watched, and he proudly says, she's with us.
01:54:49.780 She's in this collection.
01:54:51.440 She's one of the 13, and we took that speech, them, and we all approved that speech because
01:54:59.020 correction, that's how correction gets made in this city.
01:55:01.740 That's how things pass through to Congress, comes through this collective mind of the
01:55:06.340 Holy Spirit.
01:55:06.940 And I'm thinking, we're in a church.
01:55:09.300 That's just evil.
01:55:10.620 We're standing in a church, one of the oldest.
01:55:13.000 This church was founded by Thomas Jefferson, funded him, and I mean, it's 230 years old.
01:55:18.920 It was founded in 1790.
01:55:22.780 This is, so I'm starting to see, wait a second, there's strongholds.
01:55:27.040 So we get to this building we're trying to buy, which is a Methodist church.
01:55:31.220 It hasn't preached a sermon in this church since March 2020.
01:55:37.660 Zero.
01:55:38.260 It's dark.
01:55:39.240 The church, now, the Methodists take care of their buildings.
01:55:41.880 The building, stunning.
01:55:43.200 I bet.
01:55:43.740 They run a great real estate operation.
01:55:45.600 It's beautiful, but there's no sermon being preached.
01:55:48.440 So we're saying, let us bring the gospel to this community.
01:55:51.820 We want to preach the gospel to the city because God's called us to the city, not to Arlington, not to Virginia, but to the city.
01:55:59.680 And they say to me, we know who you are.
01:56:01.440 We know the gospel you preach, which is just the gospel.
01:56:04.280 It's just the word of God.
01:56:06.260 It's that these truths that are self-evident, these liberties and justice we're talking about,
01:56:10.960 The 250 we're celebrating behind you is because of Judeo-Christian values.
01:56:15.980 It's because there's a set of principles that says, for me and my house, we can serve the Lord.
01:56:21.260 I don't know what my neighbor is doing, but I can lead my children in the gospel.
01:56:24.880 I can lead my children that there's liberty and justice.
01:56:27.640 I can talk about mercy and grace that's freely given every morning because we have it freely given through the cross.
01:56:34.400 Are you talking about that gospel?
01:56:35.920 She goes, yes, you're radical.
01:56:37.060 And I said, what is it that's so radical about us?
01:56:40.960 So they start talking amongst these 13, and we start getting evicted.
01:56:46.980 We are at our fourth location now.
01:56:49.900 The day before I met you, we get a notice from the building we're in saying,
01:56:53.200 we will not renew your lease.
01:56:55.000 And I said, why?
01:56:56.280 And they go, because you're too political.
01:56:58.680 And I talked to the owner of the building, and he says to me,
01:57:02.380 my staff won't show up if you're in the building.
01:57:06.380 And he says to me, he said, Yaki, you know we have staff.
01:57:09.740 Some are trans.
01:57:10.380 And I said, look, we love all human beings.
01:57:15.320 I hate Satan.
01:57:17.300 And I hate demonic spirits that indoctrinate people that you'll find in fascism, that you'll find in communism, looking at another person saying, oh, they're the peasant class.
01:57:26.820 Let's rule them.
01:57:28.340 I can't stand for that because we have liberty and justice for all through Christ.
01:57:32.780 Because that's just radical.
01:57:34.620 And he says this to me.
01:57:35.520 That's radical.
01:57:36.440 He says this to me.
01:57:37.240 I quote he said we've had many churches that we've worked with in this city and we've never
01:57:42.040 seen a church like yours and I said is it because we say things like life has value in the womb he
01:57:48.860 says yes you can't say things like that people need to choose I said so people can choose who
01:57:54.380 live and die I fight human trafficking how am I going to get somebody to fight for a 12 year old
01:58:00.000 child that's being trafficked if you won't defend a baby in the womb you won't and he said but you
01:58:06.080 say things like, you know, children shouldn't be transified, you can't have transgender
01:58:10.100 rights, then I find out.
01:58:12.460 This particular reverend who told me, we will never sell this building to you, we'll never
01:58:17.880 lease to you, and we're making a fair market offer.
01:58:21.740 The building's for sale, so you're saying we cannot buy it because we are in love with
01:58:26.760 Jesus.
01:58:27.900 I would check that.
01:58:29.860 I would check that.
01:58:32.220 Your realtors may be in hot water here.
01:58:34.780 When you start profiling who can and can't buy a building, she says this to me.
01:58:40.500 They say to me, you're radical with the gospel.
01:58:43.860 I dig into her Instagram, Glenn.
01:58:46.340 When there was a trans march in a pro-trans rights march for children.
01:58:53.720 So basically what this march said is we're standing for the child against the parent.
01:58:59.460 Jeez.
01:58:59.820 If the parent doesn't want to give the child the option to transition, guess who led this march with a sign in a V formation, the front of the march?
01:59:11.900 This reverend.
01:59:13.320 What I found is in this city, it's different than other cities.
01:59:17.640 In this city, that which is evil often is led by the church.
01:59:22.800 Okay, so I asked Jaco to come on because he told me the story.
01:59:27.860 And I said, we got to help find you a place if you're an attorney and you can help.
01:59:32.840 And I mean, somebody who has, you know, big friends that could help, um, uh, as an attorney,
01:59:37.760 if you have funding and you're like, I will help buy a building here.
01:59:42.780 Yakko has been leading the frontline spiritually for a very long time on a lot of really dark,
01:59:49.320 dark stuff.
01:59:49.800 Human trafficking is the number one thing.
01:59:51.820 Um, I trust you more than almost anybody Yakko that I, that I know spiritually.
01:59:57.360 I mean, you have really proven yourself time and time again
02:00:01.900 to be a man of dignity and honor,
02:00:04.640 and you just won't bend and you won't sit down.
02:00:07.460 But if you want to help, how can they get a hold of you?
02:00:13.240 Yeah, they can email me.
02:00:16.580 You want to give a...
02:00:17.720 No, let's not do that.
02:00:18.460 I'll tell you what, we'll tweet something out.
02:00:21.080 They can text the letters DC to the number 59090.
02:00:26.480 59090 text dc to 59090 they'll get a reply from our team and then they'll find a way to okay to
02:00:34.700 get in touch with us uh i just i just asked claude because claude is the most liberal out of all of
02:00:39.480 the ai search engines um and i just said hey what do you know about the collective 13 that presents
02:00:46.740 itself as the collective mind of the holy spirit in dc it says i can't find anything um easy give
02:00:53.900 me more information blah blah blah but one thing this is clawed one third one thing worth flagging
02:01:00.040 since uh it is uh let's see since it's in the work that you're doing right now someone another
02:01:07.580 knows what i'm working um the phrase itself is a near perfect specimen of the thing you've been
02:01:13.820 circling the collective mind of the holy spirit takes something the tradition insists is personal
02:01:20.880 and individual the spirit that indwells in one soul that christ described as coming to each
02:01:27.340 believer and dissolves it into a hive mind that's clawed i mean that's the thing that everybody's
02:01:36.960 like that's the devil that all this ai is the devil that's what it's saying holy cow yes and
02:01:45.760 But to be face-to-face with it, to have it said to you not through hearsay or where you
02:01:51.220 got to read between the lines, but to have it spoken to you is so important.
02:01:57.980 How can we pray for you?
02:02:00.980 For wisdom, that in those moments I make the right decisions, that I don't act in emotion,
02:02:07.480 and that we are very sober-minded of what the actual Holy Spirit is doing.
02:02:13.760 we can see through the facade, and I pray the same thing over the leaders in this country.
02:02:21.720 Can you imagine if those are the pastors and the reverents that are consulting?
02:02:26.600 Come to us. We're the collective mind of the Holy Spirit. That is a problem, Glenn,
02:02:33.880 and it's old in this town. It's not new.
02:02:38.340 Oh, it's all old.
02:02:40.160 A lot of the evil that is happening in this town is ancient.
02:02:44.320 Yeah.
02:02:44.620 It's well beyond 250 years.
02:02:46.800 And you know, when you give Satan footholds, we talk about footholds, demonic strongholds,
02:02:53.100 generational curse, we're talking about inner vows, those kind of things, they matter.
02:02:59.000 When you make commitments, inner vows, and you give Satan territory, he takes it.
02:03:04.240 And the longer he has it, the stronger the stronghold becomes.
02:03:08.480 So the strongholds we're talking about, what you do every day on your show, and you are, I've said this.
02:03:15.560 I said, praise God.
02:03:16.800 I loved Rush Limbaugh.
02:03:17.860 Praise God for Glenn Beck.
02:03:19.600 I've got a personal thing that I just, and I won't say it on air, but I think you're the type of man that should lead a nation.
02:03:27.180 I'll leave it there.
02:03:28.340 Good.
02:03:29.180 And keep it buried deeply.
02:03:31.500 Or lead a movement.
02:03:32.660 And you do.
02:03:33.340 But it is tearing down high places that man built and raising up the name of Christ.
02:03:39.740 And that's what it's about.
02:03:40.800 And that doesn't mean physical buildings need to come down its powers and principalities.
02:03:45.100 And you do it every day through truth and justice.
02:03:48.860 And I can't honor you enough.
02:03:50.980 Give me the address where people need to go again.
02:03:53.640 Text DC.
02:03:54.520 Text the letters DC to the number 59090.
02:03:59.160 59090.
02:04:00.100 Yeah.
02:04:00.440 DC.
02:04:01.440 Thank you.
02:04:01.500 Jaco, as always, good to see you.
02:04:02.820 stay safe. Thank you. Appreciate it. Stay spiritually safe. Okay. God bless you. All
02:04:07.360 right. Back in just a minute. Let me tell you, this sounds familiar at all. You're opening up
02:04:11.920 a banking app and you see the credit card balance and you shake your hand and you're like,
02:04:16.500 we'll deal with that later. I mean, you ever done that? It's probably later now. Later has a way of
02:04:24.780 charging a lot of interest, 25% or more. I mean, it's getting bad. When that interest is that high,
02:04:32.300 Putting it off is just delaying the problem and making it more expensive every single month.
02:04:36.700 A lot of homeowners are hesitant to do anything because you've locked in a really great mortgage rate, okay?
02:04:42.760 Probably a long time ago.
02:04:43.840 What do you have?
02:04:44.420 2% mortgage?
02:04:45.360 You don't want to refinance that.
02:04:46.880 Doesn't make any sense.
02:04:48.840 How do I get a low rate, however, for my credit cards?
02:04:51.780 You can take a portion of what you have in equity in your home and take out a loan against that.
02:04:57.040 And that might be 6%, okay?
02:04:58.960 5% or 6%.
02:05:00.060 Not 25%.
02:05:01.960 That'll help you pay off your credit cards and leave your great loan rate that you have for your house completely alone.
02:05:11.300 No upfront fees to find out if you qualify.

02:05:40.820 Hang tight. Glenn Beck returns next.
02:05:59.780 welcome back to the glenn beck program i am jason butchall filling in for the last segment here
02:06:11.760 for glenn i was just talking with our subscribers our insiders about the biggest story that was
02:06:17.700 going down yesterday and it was big by far so there was if you're in the united states you
02:06:23.900 were cheering i guess unless you're with the mainstream media possibly and unless you're
02:06:28.520 a soccer fan in belgium or uh other people in europe they were not too happy with what happened
02:06:36.440 it came down yesterday we got it from the athletic that the um one of the the best teams
02:06:42.600 our best players on the u.s men's team um was having his red card one game suspension thrown
02:06:49.960 out and all over the mainstream media all you could see was how you know president trump had
02:06:54.280 called the fifa president uh head and that uh mysteriously after that the suspension got lifted
02:07:02.120 i there was a little more context that i was reading the resources kind of all over on this
02:07:06.280 i was reading a source um i was reading from clay travis who posted on x that there was a lot more
02:07:11.720 involved to it uh apparently uh howard lutnik and a few others uh put together a crack team of lawyers
02:07:18.840 from outside the government to go into this
02:07:21.900 and see if they could get this overturned.
02:07:25.020 And it has now been overturned.
02:07:26.480 I'm curious, what would you have done?
02:07:28.700 What would you do on this if you are the coach of the U.S. team?
02:07:33.540 Would you play him?
02:07:35.280 I don't know if I would.
02:07:38.280 I think that at this point, I would wait a little bit.
02:07:42.940 I would probably wait.
02:07:43.980 I wouldn't play him right at the beginning.
02:07:45.360 I would wait and see how the men's team is doing.
02:07:46.960 then if it's not going so great
02:07:48.740 then of course I would put him in
02:07:50.400 but it was just really cool to see
02:07:52.640 that the FIFA red card
02:07:54.840 got hit by the
02:07:56.900 Trump card and there is
02:07:58.900 no competition there
02:08:00.860 pretty cool, I'll be watching
02:08:02.900 it as I'm sure you will be, we have a lot
02:08:05.040 to go over tomorrow, I cannot wait
02:08:07.160 we will see you tomorrow on the Glenn Beck Program
02:08:16.960 We'll be right back.
