00:00:00.000 You know it's becoming exhausting buying food from companies that want your money

00:00:03.960 but don't want to tell you where anything is made or anything much about it.

00:00:08.400 You pick up a package, you squint at the label,

00:00:10.680 and somehow you still need a private investigator to figure out what you're actually bringing home for dinner.

00:00:16.140 It shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't be hard.

00:05:30.040 So I got mocked a lot when I was at Space Launch recently.

00:05:36.580 and i watched what i call a wonder of the world uh lift off um and i cried and everybody's like

00:05:46.080 oh look at this baby cry blah blah blah maybe it's because you haven't lived as long as i have

00:05:50.680 and you don't know what that means maybe you don't understand what man has done um

00:05:58.920 but that is a miracle last night when i saw blue origin the rocket explode on the uh on the launch

00:06:07.360 pad the first thing i said oh my gosh my wife was sitting next to me i said honey look at this and

00:06:14.040 first thing she said was please tell me and i knew what she was gonna ask and i said nope there 0.91

00:06:18.180 wasn't anybody in i grew up at a time where men were in those machines they had to actually you

00:06:24.100 know flip the switch or turn the key to make it start and uh they were in and thank god we live

00:06:31.840 at a time where that doesn't happen or hopefully it doesn't happen it didn't happen last night

00:06:38.340 you know the last time we had something like this was 1967 um and it was i think apollo one

00:06:46.400 and they were doing a pre-launch test and the oxygen in the capsule it was pure oxygen at

00:06:54.860 high pressure they flipped a switch there was a spark it burned everybody up alive

00:06:59.460 um elon musk said yesterday rockets are hard they are but i want to show you how amazing this is

00:07:11.360 do you know how many people we have had travel into space how many people have been into space

00:07:15.780 just guess at the number 10 right i wouldn't think it was that small but i would think it

00:07:23.140 was smaller than it is 600 people what 600 people have actually traveled into space

00:07:29.100 now out of six out of 600 people that went up how many people have actually tried to go in space

00:07:35.360 and died. 19, 19. That's a miracle. That is a miracle, especially when you understand. I mean,

00:07:46.940 Saturn V was the rocket that put us onto the moon the first time. That is seven and a half

00:07:53.860 million pounds of thrust. What does that mean? Let me translate it. Saturn V, what you saw was

00:08:02.400 about 60% of Saturn V. Saturn V has 160 million horsepower. So take a Mustang or no, take a Ford

00:08:14.620 F-150, a Ford F-150, that's 400 horsepower. Saturn V has 160 million horsepower. That means

00:08:24.780 it's 400 000 ford f-150s running flat out at the same time it burns 20 tons of fuel a second

00:08:36.100 to get it off the ground it is the energy that is a small nuke it's almost the size of i think it's

00:08:46.860 actually slightly larger than what we set off in Hiroshima. The difference is, A, it's not nuclear,

00:08:56.200 and B, it's coming out in a controlled way. It's 13 kilotons of TNT equivalent. Oklahoma City

00:09:05.700 bombing was two tons of TNT. The conventional bombs, the largest ones we dropped in World War

00:09:12.880 two was 10 tons. Saturn five, 13,000 tons of TNT. Hiroshima, 15,000 tons of TNT. So slightly larger

00:09:25.400 than that's what's sitting on the launch pad. That's why I cried when we launched every time.

00:09:32.680 It is a miracle. Saturn V had about 3 million more pounds of thrust or shove than New Glenn did. Just the difference, just 3 million more pounds of thrust, just that small difference is 1,500 diesel locomotives all pulling flat out together.

00:09:58.420 Just that difference is enough to lift 15 fully loaded Boeing 747s straight up in the air and hold them there.

00:10:12.280 New Glenn is a monster.

00:10:14.780 Saturn V was a controlled earthquake.

00:10:17.820 But New Glenn is one of the most powerful rockets flying today.

00:10:22.660 And as Elon Musk said, rockets are hard.

00:10:26.100 these guys are heroes everybody who is involved in this thank you thank you and thank god we

00:10:37.300 prayed for you last night and we thank god that no one was hurt it's a miracle nobody was hurt

00:10:44.260 now let me switch because the next thing i said to my next thing it comes up

00:10:50.180 i look at my wife i'm like she just walked out of the room i'm like you got to come back

00:10:55.460 oh my gosh what is this and it's aliens aliens.gov and it's from the white house

00:11:02.460 and i'm opening it up and i'm looking at it and i don't know if you saw the video do we have we

00:11:08.980 happen to have the video we do okay there's a lot of anticipation for this yeah yeah okay so

00:11:14.800 the white house uh releases this video go ahead and play the video

00:11:19.260 and the video says for 60 years the u.s government has kept a closely guarded secret

00:11:25.220 aliens have been walking among us living in our neighborhoods interacting with us in our daily

00:11:29.580 lives they've shopped in the same stores attended the same classes as our children and live seemingly

00:11:35.300 normal human existences with one exception they don't belong here okay now i'm reading this and

00:11:43.400 i start reading this and i listen to my wife honey you gotta come back she's like what and i pull the

00:11:49.920 bar back and i start from the beginning so i miss i start from the beginning and i'm like what the

00:11:55.100 hell is happening? What is happening? And she's like, this isn't from the White House. This is

00:12:01.320 from the White House. Okay. And then we realize, no, until one man finally had the courage to tell

00:12:09.080 the truth, bold, unapologetic, unafraid. President Trump was the first to call out the real danger

00:12:14.380 aliens pose to every American family, every community in the future of our nation. The 0.99

00:12:18.460 truth is no longer out there. It's right here, right now. He's talking about illegal aliens.

00:12:25.100 Now, I think my first reaction was, oh, my God.

00:12:30.860 Second reaction was, this is brilliant.

00:12:34.640 This is brilliant.

00:12:35.960 This is the best troll I've ever seen.

00:12:39.900 My third reaction was, accept if you're one of the people who are really invested in this

00:12:50.000 and really believe that aliens are here.

00:12:53.820 and i and i'm not judging you on this i i don't know i don't know anything anymore um that aliens

00:13:00.380 are here that we do have evidence of some alien life or whatever and the government has been

00:13:06.540 covering it up and and now it feels like a troll now it feels like are you mocking me are you

00:13:12.360 mocking what i believe so i don't know how to feel about it i think it's brilliant because i'm not

00:13:19.440 one of those i mean if aliens i would not be surprised that the government is hiding this

00:13:25.120 from us would not be surprised i would be surprised if they've if we have aliens that

00:13:30.740 are living around us and we all and they've all known it and it has been kept this secret okay

00:13:35.560 that we have some alien ship maybe or some alien technology maybe i don't know but if you really

00:13:43.000 are down this road and a lot of people are because the government lies about everything

00:13:48.180 if you're really down that you gotta feel kind of violated today i would think what if they do

00:13:55.700 come out with real disclosures about aliens what is that new url going to be like aliens for real

00:14:00.840 i'm serious this time.gov i don't know jason how do you feel about this i i i think that the

00:14:11.000 government has done a very good job

00:14:13.020 on, throughout

00:14:14.880 the years, throughout the decades of

00:14:17.160 I guess, how should I say

00:14:19.160 you know, using this

00:14:20.580 use it as a psyop basically

00:14:22.540 to make us not pay attention to certain things

00:14:24.900 and whether that would be government programs

00:14:27.040 they're running, like the stealth bomber, things

00:14:28.920 like that, they don't want us to talk about so they

00:14:30.900 encourage the alien stuff, but

00:14:32.920 I think there are some stuff that's

00:14:34.880 unexplained and I

00:14:36.780 don't have an explanation for them, a lot

00:14:39.040 of people are curious about it, so

00:14:40.980 when i first saw this i i laughed at first but kind of like you i thought well there are still

00:14:45.580 a lot of things that are unexplained that people are very passionate about yeah here's here's here's

00:14:50.920 now i'm up to my fourth thought my fourth thought is um that i don't think the president would i

00:14:57.740 don't think the president has information or believes that there are aliens among us or

00:15:01.860 anything that important because he wouldn't do this if he knew he would not do this okay um so

00:15:09.760 I don't think he knows, but that doesn't mean that doesn't exist. You know, there's, there's

00:15:15.780 one guy in the government. I don't even know who it is now. Um, but there's one guy in government

00:15:21.560 who is the key holder of all of the biggest secrets and you have to go through him. The

00:15:28.120 president can say, I want to see all the alien stuff. And he can say to the president, you don't

00:15:33.360 have a need to know, sir. And he, one guy makes the decision on all of the most top secret stuff

00:15:40.360 who gets to see it and who doesn't. That's pretty, I don't think that's right. Quite honestly. I just

00:15:46.900 don't think that's right. But, uh, maybe that's just me. I think an elected official, the president

00:15:51.260 of the United States should have the right and go, I want to see the alien stuff. And I want it

00:15:54.980 on my desk right now. Uh, all right, let me take a quick break. And then I want to talk to you

00:15:58.740 about this 250 debacle with Milli Vanilli and Martina McBride and all these people coming out

00:16:05.860 saying, we're not going to participate on this America 250 thing. Okay. All right. I want to

00:16:10.880 hear you out, but I have some questions on this. We'll do that next. First, let me tell you about

00:16:15.620 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Prayer isn't just words. It changes people.

00:16:20.760 It strengthens people. And sometimes the thing that gives somebody the ability to make it through

00:16:24.740 the day when everything around them feels really dark is just knowing somebody else is there you

00:16:29.500 know there are people in israel and jews all around the world who need prayers desperately

00:16:35.420 right now families living under the threat of terrorism children who have grown up hearing

00:16:39.920 air raid sirens um people who have survived programs and everything else before thought

00:16:45.120 they'd never seen this kind of hatred again in their lifetime and here it is i mean did you see

00:16:49.740 what happened i want to say it was in canada i don't remember where it was where the might have

00:16:55.300 been in new york where the muslims came and they put their prayer rugs on the sidewalks surrounding

00:17:02.340 a school and is a jewish school why would you do that can you imagine what it feels like to be

00:17:10.920 jewish today oh my gosh pray pray a simple prayer a few heartfelt words can lift the spirit of

00:17:18.540 somebody facing fear, uncertainty, and isolation. Just let them know you're not alone. We're praying

00:17:22.960 for you. We're with you. We're standing. I don't care if you stand with Israel. Stand with Jews.

00:17:27.700 Stand with the Jews. Prayifcj.org. Go there now and submit a prayer there today. Prayifcj.org.

00:17:37.180 Prayifcj.org. 10 seconds. Station ID.

00:17:48.540 okay so the great american state fair is happening on the national mall in washington dc

00:17:56.200 to celebrate america's 250th birthday uh and it's being put on by freedom 250 okay uh martina mcbride

00:18:04.700 young mc cnc music factory vanilla ice millie vanille the commodores there's

00:18:10.320 morris day in the time florida florida whatever

00:18:16.680 i mean that's how big this this lineup is brett michaels 16 days 56 states we don't have 56 states

00:18:26.500 what is that all about 56 states that's what it says from freedom 250 anyway um now everybody's

00:18:33.360 canceling on this. Can I just say very few countries make it this far, you know, empires

00:18:41.980 rise, empires fall, revolutions, you know, consume themselves. Usually constitutions become

00:18:48.180 suggestions. Freedom becomes a memory. Do you know how long the average constitution lasts?

00:18:54.120 17 years 17 years what are the odds that we are still standing

00:19:02.680 and now we're being told that celebrating our own birthday for our country is divisive

00:19:11.660 okay that's why you're canceling because it's divisive okay all right could you any of you

00:19:17.180 show me tell me exactly specifically what is divisive can you point to the speech or the

00:19:24.640 exhibit or the event or the idea or the thing you were asked to do that was so divisive

00:19:29.900 what are you what exactly are americans being asked to celebrate that is so offensive now

00:19:36.600 because from what i've seen no one is giving specifics they're just using the word you keep

00:19:43.300 using that word i do not think it means what you think it means they're using the word divisive

00:19:47.820 and it's one of those words now that gets thrown around whenever somebody doesn't like you know

00:19:52.780 something and doesn't want to explain why well it's just divisive well that's just racist how

00:19:56.660 is that racist it just is you know racism when you see racism it's sexist it's homophobe it's

00:20:01.720 islamophobe this that he her they them are divisive that word means nothing just like almost

00:20:12.960 all the other labels that used to mean something important, but now no longer do because you've

00:20:19.400 destroyed the language. Divisive doesn't mean anything because you can't tell me what it is.

00:20:26.760 America's 250, and I'm prepared to be corrected on this. If you come with the receipts,

00:20:32.840 I'm prepared to believe you. But America's 250 birthday, it doesn't belong to the Republicans,

00:20:39.860 and it doesn't belong to the democrats it belongs to all americans this is all of our country

00:20:46.640 now i want to give you some political history here the original america 250 commission was

00:20:53.940 created during the biden administration and people that were involved openly discussed

00:20:58.400 using the anniversary to present a a more critical view of american history some talked about moving

00:21:05.640 away from what they considered traditional patriotic storytelling we want to de-emphasize

00:21:11.340 America's history what what I mean you're throwing a party for a 250 year old man

00:21:18.100 you think the time to tear him down and to emphasize all the bad things he did in life

00:21:24.000 is at the party when you're bringing the cake out with the candles I mean you talk about that some

00:21:28.620 other time this is a birthday party and also also I really don't understand how you can celebrate

00:21:34.260 250 years of a nation by downplaying the very history of the 250 years of that nation? I mean,

00:21:41.960 the entire point of an anniversary is remembrance. The entire point is gratitude. The entire point

00:21:48.820 is to say, look at the good, look what worked, look what failed, but look what's worth preserving

00:21:55.280 for the next generation. And that's why President Trump started Freedom 250, because America 250,

00:22:03.540 I mean, honestly, I don't know what they do now. I mean, I've seen them in commercials, you know, at the end, proud sponsors of America 250. What are they doing? Okay. And I have to tell you, I was asked to serve on the board of America 250 to at least have one voice in favor of America in the room.

00:22:22.160 and long story short i didn't think i could make a difference as one voice um and i was told just

00:22:29.380 hold your tongue just try to make a difference and i'm like but how many other people are

00:22:33.480 you know am i alone in this room i declined because i was told you we don't want you to

00:22:40.720 make a big deal out of it if something and i said i can't be in a room make no difference

00:22:44.880 spend that amount of time and then not expose it to the american people if they're like yeah we

00:22:49.780 got to de-emphasize American history. So I said, thanks, but no thanks. But the Freedom 250 vision

00:22:55.620 is closer to what Americans remember as the bicentennial from 1976. Parades, celebrations,

00:23:02.940 music, historic exhibits, flags, fireworks, all of that stuff. An actual celebration of the American

00:23:09.140 story. I want to get into what the divisive key is to all of this. An honest search for that.

00:23:19.440 and retards next uh oh man i'm sounding i am sounding like a boomer today i really i'm sorry 0.78

00:23:28.360 about that uh no no i'm not uh international um no i already did that one our sponsor is relief 0.64

00:23:35.840 factor if every time you went out your front door you got mauled by a bear you'd stop going out your

00:25:26.160 to stop here there's two stories one comes from the supreme court and the other one comes from

00:25:29.220 the huffington post huffington post is very angry right now because the word retard is making a

00:25:35.400 comeback. Uh, what a surprise. Um, it, you know, they're saying, oh, this is, this is an ugly

00:25:41.960 descriptor that you're retarded. Okay. It's making an unfortunate comeback. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It is, 0.99

00:25:50.640 you know, you notice you don't say that about imbecile or moron, but that's why the word 1.00

00:25:56.260 retarded came in because the retarded is a clinic, a progressive, uh, clinical term. Okay. Because 1.00

00:26:06.100 scientists said, if you have severe intellectual disability, if you're severely retarded is what 1.00

00:26:14.080 we would have said, um, you're an idiot. That's what the medical term was. You're an idiot. 1.00

00:26:19.460 if you're moderately retarded you're an imbecile if you have mild intellectual retardation 1.00

00:26:27.920 you're a moron okay so it was idiot imbecile and moron and everybody started calling people 1.00

00:26:33.560 you're a moron you're an idiot you're an imbecile and the people oh no no it's a medical 1.00

00:26:38.200 that's not what that means that's so offensive and nobody was hurt by being called a moron 1.00

00:26:43.920 okay uh you got over it um and so then retard and so everybody's like i mean i i grew up in a world 0.98

00:26:53.460 where retard everything was either gay or retarded and it didn't mean gay or retarded okay uh and 0.92

00:26:59.860 and everybody was wringing their hand clutching their program we can't use that word 1.00

00:27:03.320 so they replaced it they replaced idiot imbecile and moron with retardation or retarded okay because 1.00

00:27:13.060 it was humane and scientific. Then the same thing happened because you didn't change people and you 1.00

00:27:19.960 didn't change the meaning, you know? And so you started saying, well, these are intellectually

00:27:23.780 disabled people. They're developmentally disabled. They're people of special needs. And you know

00:27:28.780 what? Guess what? Guess what? People of special needs is now not welcome in professional settings.

00:27:37.900 it's an insult now wait i thought that was to replace the insult of retarded 0.85

00:27:44.180 you can't just replace words okay you just you can't because if society doesn't change then the 0.79

00:27:54.000 new word just means what the old word meant and then you're going to have to constantly 0.98

00:27:57.920 it's lather rinse repeat lather you know what it is it's it's retardation it shows retardation 0.99

00:28:06.780 you're slow you're slow okay so i couldn't i couldn't take it anymore and i am so tired of 0.99

00:28:16.280 the word police and when huffington post came out and they were like oh you know what we're so very

00:28:21.720 upset about the word i decided i'm gonna write an open letter to the word police okay

00:28:30.380 and i took some time crafting this because i feel it deeply 0.82

00:28:38.680 so here it is dear retarded language enforcers professional offense takers and euphemism 0.82

00:28:48.420 evangelists oh how i've missed you but there you are melting down in perfectly choreography 0.94

00:28:56.880 uh choreographed uh outrage because the word retarded is making a comeback and not just any 0.96

00:29:03.420 comeback but a glorious unapologetic full speed ahead retardation of your carefully constructed 0.94

00:29:09.880 news speak empire oh the sheer panic on your face i mean it is a chef's kiss really it's like 0.98

00:29:19.160 watching somebody try to put toothpaste back into the tube while the tube itself is retarded 0.88

00:29:24.480 But let me be clear. Since clarity seems to be a retarded concept in your circle, words are not violence. They are syllables with baggage. And retarded has been carrying its suitcase through the English language for decades now, describing everything from developmental delays to your entire approach to public discourse. 0.94

00:29:51.460 now you've spent years trying to retire it 0.95

00:29:55.400 you have replaced it 1.00

00:29:56.920 with increasingly retarded alternatives 1.00

00:30:00.420 intellectually disabled, differently abled 0.99

00:30:03.500 cognitively divergent 0.85

00:30:06.060 a person with lived experience of slower neural pathways

00:30:10.780 good heavens man 0.96

00:30:12.380 each one of these is more retarded than the last one 1.00

00:30:14.860 it's honestly, it's like you're a thesaurus having a stroke 0.99

00:30:17.940 the retardation of your project 0.91

00:30:21.460 is however truly impressive i mean you didn't just want to retire the word you wanted to retard 0.95

00:30:28.680 the natural evolution of language itself you wanted all of us walking on eggshells retarded 0.86

00:30:35.560 in our speech self-censoring like good little hall monitors sticks and stones may break my bones but 0.86

00:30:43.740 words will literally kill me and require a safe space with an emotional support animal in it 0.99

00:30:50.360 How retarded is that? 1.00

00:30:54.180 Extremely, clinically, textbook retarded. 1.00

00:31:00.300 Now, here's the funny part. 1.00

00:31:02.520 You magnificent retard, you. 1.00

00:31:05.260 The more you clutched your pearls and screamed ableist, 1.00

00:31:10.780 the more the word gained power.

00:31:13.740 Why?

00:31:14.700 I know you can't figure it out, but you're a little slow.

00:31:17.140 forbidden fruit always tastes sweeter so now it's back and not as a cruel slur aimed at the

00:31:24.540 genuinely disabled who by the way have bigger problems than vocabulary but as a perfect 0.98

00:31:31.440 descriptor for your entire retarded worldview climate policies that retard economic growth 1.00

00:31:39.860 it's retarded higher education that produces graduates who cannot define a woman peak 0.99

00:31:49.000 retardation cancel culture that treats retarded as worse than actual policy failures that's not 0.99

00:31:58.220 just retarded that's meta retarded retardation so advanced that it loops back around back into 0.99

00:32:06.340 performance art. So you wanted to police language. You wanted to police language so hard that 1.00

00:32:14.460 you retarded social progress. Remember when we could call bad ideas stupid without triggering 1.00

00:32:23.180 a UN resolution? Those were the days. Oh, and they are coming back. But now every mildly edgy 0.99

00:32:30.360 observation requires a dissertation on harm and impact your your retardation of humor art and 1.00

00:32:38.700 honest conversation has produced a culture so fragile that it makes victorian ladies look like 0.97

00:32:45.140 stand-up comedians so keep seething word warriors keep writing your think pieces about how retarded 0.98

00:32:54.000 is punching down and we'll be over here using it creatively that dei training that was retarded 0.98

00:33:02.240 your pronoun obsession is retarded this open letter might even be a little retarded in its 0.90

00:33:09.940 enthusiasm but at least it's honest you should know the linguistic pendulum is swinging back 0.94

00:33:19.220 And it's retarded in all of the right ways, slowing down your march toward total somatic control. 1.00

00:33:27.300 So, in conclusion, I leave you with this. 0.68

00:33:32.860 The word retarded is not going anywhere. 1.00

00:33:35.900 It's been retarded from retirement. 1.00

00:33:39.700 It's your word, your progressive word. 1.00

00:33:43.300 You brought it into the culture, so deal with it.

00:33:46.360 Or don't.

00:33:46.960 I mean, honestly, your meltdowns are half the entertainment for me. 1.00

00:33:52.240 Signed with zero regards and maximum linguistic freedom, a recovering compliant speaker who's done being retarded. 0.99

00:34:03.200 Glenn Beck. 0.94

00:34:05.760 That's for you, the Huffington Post. 1.00

00:34:07.520 Now, I want to talk to you about the Supreme Court because Ketanji Jackson Brown, and that is her name, is retarded. 1.00

00:34:22.020 And I'll prove that next. 0.73

00:34:26.920 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:34:30.200 It's Rapid Radios.

00:34:30.980 For all the technology we have now, most people are less prepared to communicate in an emergency than their grandparents were.

00:34:36.800 your grandparents could probably fix a tractor with a hammer and a wrench and pure spite now

00:34:42.720 half of us panic have a panic attack if the wi-fi goes down for four minutes we're like what's going

00:34:47.000 on i can't communicate communication matters okay when storms hit power goes out when you're

00:34:51.860 traveling camping driving across the country or just trying to keep in touch with family members

00:34:55.820 during you know something chaotic the last thing you want is to be standing you know wondering

00:35:00.540 can i reach anybody this is why i love rapid radios these things are incredibly simple to

00:35:06.140 use there's no programming no license no monthly fees you take them out of the box you turn them on

00:35:10.640 and they do the work and the audio is clear quality is fantastic it's reliable communication

00:35:16.940 without all the hassle that most people associate with radios preparedness is about buying yourself

00:35:22.600 options before you need them rapid radios one of those things you'll be very glad you had when you

00:35:27.440 need it rapid radios.com they ship fast from their headquarters right in michigan rapid radio don't

00:35:32.600 hold that against them they're in the good part of michigan rapid radios.com rapid radios

00:35:37.520 communication redefined your feed's full of noise your town's full of folks who'd help you move a

00:35:45.760 fridge don't lose touch glenn beck will be back after this

00:35:51.760 Now, so you know, I'm not going to demean the office of the Supreme Court

00:36:18.380 any more than justice katanji jackson brown intentionally uh has demeaned it already okay 0.94

00:36:27.480 she came out she was the only even the liberal judges are like oh can you just shut up you're 0.99

00:36:35.080 so stupid please just shut up she was all alone she wrote the lone dissent and what what this 1.00

00:36:42.680 case was about was, um, can a judge who sees an injustice have broad power to fix it? Okay. 1.00

00:36:53.100 Um, and all the other, the other judges, all eight of them, they were like, no, it's not in

00:36:58.080 the constitution. They, they, they have powers and you gotta, they gotta be controlled. Okay.

00:37:02.740 And she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me, let me give you an analogy of what they

00:37:09.500 were discussing. Let's say there's a lock on a front gate. Okay. And the front gate is the

00:37:16.600 official process for claiming you were wrongly convicted. It's difficult. It takes time. There

00:37:22.280 are forms, there are deadlines, there are legal standards. You got to hire an attorney. You got

00:37:25.640 to go back. It's called an appeal process. Okay. But there is a side door that gets you out. Now

00:37:31.660 it's a different, it's a different purpose. Maybe the prisoner is terminally ill and the judge can

00:37:37.300 say, you know what? I think we should let them out. Maybe they're 90 years old and they're

00:37:40.980 terminally ill, you know, or there's extraordinary humanitarian reasons. Okay.

00:37:48.280 This, this case was, well, the judge should be able to use that door. Why do we have to go

00:37:53.660 through? Cause this judge knows that I'm innocent. Well, that wait, no, that that's not the system.

00:37:59.300 You were judged by a jury. You got to go back through the jury system and you got to be judged

00:38:04.860 again and you can be found that this was wrong and we can overturn that but there's a system

00:38:09.000 so jackson was saying if a judge discovers somebody may be innocent why should they force

00:38:14.820 everyone through that front gate when the side door is is right there i mean and amy coney barrett

00:38:21.700 who wrote the majority opinion eight to one said because the side door wasn't made for that

00:38:30.360 if if you use that door for this then no one will know what the doors are for people just use the

00:38:37.960 doors and the windows and whatever and you empower the judges i mean it's it's like it's like saying

00:38:43.560 you know the referee let's say the referee noticed that a player had cheated earlier in the game

00:38:50.480 her position is the referee should have the flexibility to make things right

00:38:55.400 barrett's like no no no the referee's job is to enforce the rule book not rewrite you know

00:39:05.380 the rules or write injustices during the game that already is passed we've moved on you got

00:39:13.020 to follow the rule book she just believes that referees judges in this case got to do what they

00:39:19.940 feel is right. No, you're making them into dictators. They have ultimate power. That's how

00:39:27.780 retarded she is. And I mean that in the clinical sense. She is a slow thinker, okay? 1.00

00:39:38.600 She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. And even on her own side, she's embarrassing. 1.00

00:39:48.180 she really is embarrassing um and i i hate to say that because i don't i don't it's not good i mean

00:39:57.740 you know i never thought i never thought you could come to a place i kind of said this though when

00:40:03.800 she was there i hated her policies but ginsburg was you know she was at least honest she could 0.89

00:40:11.940 make an intellectual case i think she was wrong many times but she could make the intellectual

00:40:15.700 case um and she wasn't uh you know she she wasn't filled with hate i mean she she was she was good

00:40:23.540 friends with scalia they were good friends they couldn't disagree more um jackson brown the non

00:40:31.120 singing one uh maybe should try singing because i i mean she does there's no intellectual firepower

00:40:39.640 there it shows that she just does not understand the constitution or rules at all when you can 0.84

00:40:47.920 just say oh you know what this judge needs to have the power just to go you know i think that

00:40:52.380 person's innocent where do you find that in the constitution where do you find that in the rule

00:40:59.860 of law that goes against everything our laws say but again they don't care they'll just you know

00:41:08.620 and if they don't get their way, they'll just kick the other. Can you imagine having eight

00:41:13.440 other judges like that? Oh, we would be living in a fun house. It would be a house of mirrors.

00:41:21.640 We'd constantly be walking into a mirror. I didn't realize that was there. You'd never know

00:41:27.540 what was real. You'd never know where to go. I mean, one of the reasons why we lasted 250 years,

00:41:33.100 One of the reasons why we've been so successful monetarily is because our laws made sense and they were consistent.

00:41:43.680 People knew they weren't going to swing wildly.

00:41:46.540 You could put your money here, you could build a business, and you knew 10 years down the road, it's still going to be safe.

00:41:52.000 It'll generally be like this.

00:41:53.780 In Ketanji Jackson Brown's world, it's a madhouse.

00:41:58.700 I mean, everything collapses in that kind of world.

00:42:03.100 But the ones in prison that say they're innocent, they would be free.

00:42:07.440 So you have that going for you.

00:42:12.300 Being prepared, always a good idea.

00:42:14.480 But as somebody who tries to prepare, I've always been frustrated that nobody had the medical solution on preparedness until Jace Medical.

00:42:21.020 They've just launched the Jace Plus, plus the pocket paramedic.

00:42:26.560 You know, most people get their over-the-counter medical supplies and hope, you know, they never have to use them.

00:42:31.300 But preparedness doesn't end with that.

00:42:33.700 Supplies run low when something actually happens.

00:42:36.120 You don't want to be figuring out in real time, how do I get my prescription medication?

00:42:39.680 The Jace Plus is a membership designed to help you stay ready over time.

00:42:43.540 In fact, it was my idea the first time I met with the Jace team.

00:44:22.600 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:44:36.320 years ago thomas jefferson wrote uh a phrase that when i read it it changed my life and i have

00:44:45.140 tried to base my whole life on this phrase because to me it's how we all should be living

00:44:50.840 our life and he was talking to his nephew Peter Carr and he was talking about how you need to

00:44:56.740 educate yourself and he got to the last part of it and it was about religion and he said above all

00:45:01.900 things fix reason firmly in her seat and question with boldness even the very existence of God for

00:45:09.180 if there be a God he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear I spent two

00:45:17.260 months probably just pondering that phrase and what does all of it really mean and honest

00:45:23.180 questioning means that if you go in to search for truth and you find an answer that you don't like

00:45:33.360 but it is the truth that's an honest search for truth and that means now you've got to change

00:45:41.400 your life and i've i've been fortunate enough to know a few people in my life who uh completely

00:45:49.220 changed because they found out something wasn't true one of the um one of the men i so admired

00:45:55.700 before he passed away was david horowitz who back in the 60s was a left-wing radical um and for

00:46:02.120 communism and everything else and against the vietnam war they were arguing about it the

00:46:06.660 Pentagon came out and said, if we pull out now, there'll be killing fields in Cambodia and Vietnam,

00:46:12.000 et cetera, et cetera. He and his group talked about it. They said, that's nothing but propaganda.

00:46:16.260 That's lies. Then the killing fields happened. And David told me, he said, I went back into one

00:46:21.400 of our meetings. I said, guys, we have to talk about this. We were wrong. And he said, the entire

00:46:25.340 group turned on me and looked at me and he said, David, move on. We don't care. And he said, that's

00:46:33.000 when I realized none of this was honest. He said, I actually believe these things. I was trying to

00:46:38.520 help people. I thought that's what we were really doing. He said, I realized they didn't really care

00:46:43.280 about people at all. They had an agenda. I will tell you, there is a new hero in my book, Taryn

00:46:51.960 Thomas. Somebody, I have not met her or talked to her, but I know her story. Somebody who was on the

00:46:58.300 extreme palestinian left searched for honest questioning and honest questions and it changed 1.00

00:48:05.540 Taryn, what an honor it is to have you on the phone and on the show.

00:48:10.560 Thank you for joining me.

00:48:11.580 Thank you for having me.

00:48:14.380 uh it must be a little surreal to be on the program because if you had your viewpoint

00:48:22.320 uh and you knew anything about me the last place you would want to be is on a show like mine

00:48:29.260 uh so again congratulations uh for having even the bravery to do this can you can you explain

00:48:37.100 who you were before your change how deeply into this were you yeah so i think it starts before

00:48:46.700 october 7th that i used to be a black lives matter activist like when i'm 16 years old this

00:48:52.680 was like during quarantine um 2020 right after george floyd got killed and i remember seeing

00:48:59.300 like Palestinian flags, like at our Black Lives Matter protests. And so when I saw this, I would 0.90

00:49:07.800 ask our leaders, like, you know, why, you know, why are Palestinian flags here? And they would say

00:49:13.300 that, you know, for us to be free, Palestine has to be free. And, and they would utilize the same 0.99

00:49:20.080 words. Even now we're seeing the same language of apartheid, dispossession, colonization. And it

00:49:26.980 It, like, kind of struck me as, like, a Black woman, and I think more so just because of identity politics and kind of, like, I, like, mistook that familiarity for understanding this conflict and had some intellectual shortcuts when it comes to, like, understanding this, like, very complex and nuanced history and just, like, compressing it into, like, an oppressor versus oppressed, you know, narrative.

00:49:53.140 so you went from leading some of these rallies at Stanford being part of the Stanford encampment

00:50:02.040 etc etc and then you had a change of heart and it started if I'm not mistaken it started because

00:50:07.540 you were actually looking to disprove something correct tell me about this experience what

00:50:15.260 happened yeah and so then um i would want to say like give context on what had happened on

00:50:23.020 stanford's campus because like i think that led me to pull away from the movement itself

00:50:27.060 was specifically after october 7th um by october 20th stanford already put up its encampment

00:50:35.460 a sentence to stop the genocide um this is before the finish the families had even finished

00:50:41.640 identifying it's dead it's this is a week before um a single soldier had even crossed into gaza

00:50:50.040 and so we were already labeling it a genocide and so we knew how the story was going to end

00:50:55.720 and we were already protesting and there was no time that was spent to even grieve those that

00:51:04.000 lost their lives and if you did grieve and mourn publicly you were immediately outcasted and you

00:51:11.180 lost your social belonging and so i was very like i i felt like i wanted a two-state solution but i

00:51:19.760 was just very like i never wanted to talk about it with anyone because everyone was anti-zionist

00:51:24.300 and it felt that you had to like the safest position was the most radical one and so at one

00:51:32.200 of our protests at one of our protests uh in june of 2024 they broke into the stanford university's

00:51:38.980 president's office and cost seven hundred thousand dollars in damages 12 students received felonies

00:51:43.960 and they spray painted like disgusting things such as death to israel death to america hill cops 0.84

00:51:50.200 pigs taste best when dead and this is i was just confused on like where is gaza in any of that you 0.97

00:52:00.820 know and um right we completely lost sight of like who we were claiming to be fighting for and at at

00:52:08.360 some point our pro-Palestine movement became more of an anti-Israel anti-American one and I no longer

00:52:14.200 could recognize what we were what we were doing anymore and I think uh so once students got

00:52:20.160 felonies I like took a step back from the movement and um and it allowed me to receive an invitation

00:52:27.900 to the Nova Music Festival exhibit um that's right now being hosted in London um yeah and I went 0.87

00:52:35.780 going in wanting to investigate because I thought I would find like Zionist propaganda and Zionist

00:52:42.600 lies. And I wanted to reaffirm my pro-Palestine position more than anything. But that wasn't

00:52:50.840 what I came across. I found instead, you know, half written, I love you's and

00:52:57.240 last messages sent to parents and loved ones and i'm just it it was it was a tragedy and then these

00:53:07.500 are kids my age going to a music festival that i would have went to and it it was just not

00:53:13.380 political none like nova music festival was not a political thing and yet no we had like

00:53:20.400 compressed them and flattened them into this political narrative and in doing so we killed

00:53:25.840 them a second time and it's and i just like i think it was just very tragic and for me to realize

00:53:32.100 that and i think one of the audio recordings that we had heard was um uh a terrorist calling his dad

00:53:41.340 saying that he had killed 10 jews with his own bare hands and celebrating and i thought i was

00:53:47.060 going to hear horror and instead the dad congratulated his son put mom on the phone if i'm

00:53:52.920 not mistaken yes and and the mom was on the phone saying i wish i was there with you and so i was

00:54:00.120 so this is our resistance this was who we were calling our martyrs that they were explicitly

00:54:04.940 saying that they wanted to kill jews with their own hands and i'm just i again i always call

00:54:11.020 myself an anti-zionist but not anti-semitic and that completely deconstructed that

00:54:16.000 let's just stop for a second i i really want to meet you i hope i get to meet you someday

00:54:25.560 i just have so much respect for you i just want to give you a hug thank you for being honest

00:54:29.740 thank you was was there was there a moment um because i after after this happened it was what

00:54:40.580 six months after i called um people in israel and asked to see the evidence and they brought it from

00:54:49.320 israel um and um i sat in my office with a couple of people ricky was one weren't you in it or did

00:54:57.140 you not i actually declined declined yeah um and uh i sat in with a couple of people and we saw all

00:55:04.160 of the video we saw 90 minutes of the videos and it was it was horrific it was horrific um was there

00:55:13.300 a moment inside this because i don't know exactly if they showed you everything that we saw was

00:55:19.020 was there one moment that made you go i i am on the wrong side was it that phone call

00:55:24.740 I, I, I want to say like, you know, I, I'm, I'm, I admire that you had went out to find it,

00:55:34.800 like to look for the evidence six months after, because it took me a year to finally attend

00:55:41.080 this funeral. And, um, I, I, I feel when I was watching and reading their stories,

00:55:50.920 it's just more so that like that could have been anyone like that could have been your kids that

00:55:56.460 could have been my friends and like the fact that their faces just look so ordinary just smiling

00:56:01.900 um and the stuff that they left behind from like baby bottles to strollers to like uh a calculator

00:56:10.840 I just like I I was like of course like you know a Stanford student would bring a calculator to

00:56:17.420 like a music festival and it's just like i i that's why i really hope that more people

00:56:22.880 can attend that nova music festival exhibit if it comes to your area because it like it takes

00:56:29.560 out of social media and like just you know reading about it um hearing about it and you get to

00:56:35.760 visually see and like feel and pick up with your own hands the artifacts of that day and it's just

00:56:41.040 yeah it's just not the same at all i just like like i said like you take 20 minutes to go through

00:56:46.720 this exhibit and you come out a different person and you just know that in your heart that

00:56:52.400 that's true it's it's yeah go ahead sorry so so you you left you i assume you went back into a

00:57:03.680 meeting with your friends um and did you express this did you say hey i can't be a part of this

00:57:11.440 or do you try to convince them and, and what happened to you? Right. So right after visiting

00:57:18.440 the exhibit, I, I, I plan, I had planned to talk to my friends about this. I, I immediately,

00:57:24.560 I didn't talk to my friends. I knew that. Yeah, I didn't, because I knew that like expressing

00:57:34.300 any hesitancy or like doubts or questions was to like risk my social belonging and like risk

00:57:42.120 my friend group and I was genuinely scared you know um yeah yeah it's just oftentimes it that

00:57:52.720 pressure to feel like you're one of the good ones and the that you want to be like like I feel like

00:58:00.440 nothing recruits more than wanting to be on the right side of history like what you're what you're

00:58:04.280 mentoring mentioning about david horowitz and so i just like yeah sorry um so it's it's my friends

00:58:14.680 like i knew that they were going to see this as like a moral a moral failure rather than like a

00:58:22.300 me expanding my empathy beyond having a selective empathy of like which certain deaths matter

00:58:28.360 versus which don't and i that was the way that we were operating within the encampment

00:58:32.660 And so now I have like a greater empathy and to mourn that publicly, I was genuinely scared.

00:58:40.020 And so I decided to like withhold my beliefs and like what I was thinking and my doubts to myself.

00:58:45.640 And the people that had had went to that exhibit were invited by Hillel to go to Israel.

00:58:54.500 And I decided to go and to see for myself, like what's reality like on the ground.

00:58:59.840 and i think like once i went to israel it made me realize i need to start speaking up about this

00:59:05.860 like i so okay so so hang on just a second hold on just a second let me take a one minute break

00:59:11.760 and then i come back and then i want to hear um you know about the trip and and then what happened

00:59:18.660 when you started telling your friends uh and where you are now we'll do that in 60 seconds

00:59:23.180 first let me tell you i'm super sure if if you were a business owner you probably sacrificed a

00:59:27.900 lot to get to where you are today you pour time into that business money into that business energy

00:59:32.640 into the business you've worked early mornings late nights weekends holidays more than a few days

00:59:36.940 there everybody else was headed home you were there because when it's your business it's personal and

00:59:41.720 naturally you want to run it as well as you possibly can that's why it makes no sense to

00:59:46.020 let something as important as insurance become a constant source of frustration you shouldn't have

00:59:50.740 to spend hours chasing down quotes or comparing policies or trying to figure out am i covered for

00:59:55.360 this what is my health insurance i it's just too much it's too much well the super sure was built

01:00:48.520 You know, I think 0.95

01:00:49.540 um Taryn we're talking to Taryn Thomas she was a Palestinian I would say radical on the left and 0.57

01:00:57.260 she actually did her own homework and found out she was on the wrong side and um and I think we

01:01:05.100 might have a lot in common Taryn when I went to Israel I wasn't sure now this is you know a long

01:01:10.460 time ago but I went to Israel and when I got on the ground it's such a small place that everybody's

01:01:16.380 living on top of each other and you can see the truth you can see what's kind of going on you know

01:01:23.360 it's it's different than what people think it is so you went over there you you realized you gotta

01:01:31.500 say something again an act of courage real heroism don't dismiss that in your life real heroism

01:01:38.600 um because i know what you were facing what happened yeah uh it was a 10-day trip and we

01:01:49.420 visited you know tel aviv in jerusalem and like in jerusalem like being within this old city you

01:01:56.620 would see you would hear like church bells hebrew prayer you know the call to prayer and you would

01:02:01.580 just have so many different communities overlapping each other. And there is like coexistence and

01:02:08.300 peace, you know, to the day to day life of people trading and like eating together and breaking

01:02:13.400 bread. And every conversation that I had there complicated the last and they didn't fit in my

01:02:19.260 little neat boxes that I made for them at Stanford. And so I remember like visiting like a Drew's

01:02:25.660 family and then seeing a missile remnant in their backyard. And I would go to Shabbat dinner and see

01:02:32.860 like an empty chair, uh, with a glass of wine that no one would drink because they're leaving it out

01:02:38.980 for the hostages to come back. And so I, I just knew that the fear there was old and it was

01:02:47.840 generational and it was a, it's just a cycle of fear. And I, and, and eventually that fear became

01:02:54.720 mine i on my fourth day there i had experienced my own missile my first missile which is um

01:03:01.600 you know i remember mine yes it's interesting to say and so being on the ground and just praying

01:03:13.680 i just realized like how ironic it is like you know a few years ago i was praying for the

01:03:19.120 divestment of these systems I'm now praying to help save me you know and I hear the interception

01:03:27.520 of the Iron Dome and we get up and we go to the market and everyone resumes life like normal

01:03:37.280 vendors opening up the stalls and like people are just like you know kids are running around

01:03:42.180 and I was just like wow like fear here is just so routine and people build their lives around

01:03:48.260 trauma and like just like I just recognize so much being like my privilege as an American

01:03:54.560 to not have to experience war and missiles and things like that because to me that was very

01:04:00.860 traumatic and it just kind of felt embarrassing that you know to them this is just a day to you

01:04:06.840 know I only got a slice of their cake you know and so um and I I realized like then it's it's

01:04:15.100 just so easy for a lot of the pro-Palestine activists to call for war and violence from

01:04:19.340 the safety and comfort of your home thousands of miles away you know and so I think a lot of the

01:04:24.800 issue is like this distance yeah Taryn I'm I'm so sadly out of time how do I follow you where

01:04:33.680 do I find you yes you can find me at um at it's Taryn though um I-T-S-T-A-R-Y-T-H-O on Instagram

01:04:43.800 and um you can email me uh taryn though at stanford.edu

01:04:50.020 um and uh and the nova the what is it called the nova

01:04:57.780 nova music festival that is exhibit and that is that in the united states i know it was in

01:05:04.260 england right now is it coming back to the united states it it might i'm not sure i'm not one of the

01:05:09.660 organizers but it will likely come back um soon but yeah right now it is in england um until july

01:05:16.560 6th thank you so much god bless you thanks for your courage all right let me tell you about mercury

01:05:22.780 one there is a big difference between caring about a problem and committing to solve it you just saw

01:05:28.740 that a lot of people care a lot of people see disaster on television shake their head maybe

01:05:33.300 even post something online you know uh and there's nothing wrong with that but actually showing up

01:05:38.120 actually putting boots on the ground, actually helping people rebuild their lives, that is

01:05:41.660 totally different. And that is why Mercury One exists. When floods hit, when hurricanes tear

01:05:47.460 through communities, when families lose everything they own, Mercury One doesn't just talk about

01:05:51.980 helping. They go to help and they work with the local people, people just like you. If your

01:05:57.520 community goes down, we will be there supporting you to help rebuild. That's what we do. This is

01:06:03.340 my organization my charity and i it is it there's the people are so great that are involved it's not

01:06:11.020 the headlines it's not the numbers on a spreadsheet it's families neighbors people created in the image

01:06:16.920 of god who are going through the worst days of their life and we show up we show up with us

01:06:21.740 become a part of this family mercuryone.org give 15 or more to our maximum impact fund

01:06:26.680 $15 a month would help out an awful lot

01:06:29.760 And be there with us

01:06:30.780 MercuryOne.org

01:06:32.280 Help us celebrate America's 250th

01:06:34.860 By listening to the American Story Podcast

01:06:36.960 Episode 8 on the secret high-stakes creation

01:06:39.760 Of the Constitution drops tomorrow

01:06:41.160 Don't forget to rate and review

01:06:56.680 who do you want to be when you grow up who do you want to be when you grow up who do you hope in the

01:07:04.800 time of trouble you are i i think i just met somebody i'd like to be more like taryn thomas

01:07:14.320 um she is going to do more good uh than she can even possibly imagine if she keeps her head on

01:07:22.360 our shoulders um she's happy she's bright she's intelligent she's honest um and and not unafraid

01:07:31.760 she's like every hero that i've ever read about heroes are afraid they are they're afraid they

01:07:38.700 just know something bigger is more important than their fear than their life their friends their

01:07:46.140 job their death whatever they know this is more important um and that's who she is and you know i

01:07:54.820 want to i i want to pick up where i left off last hour about this um freedom 250 concert that's going

01:08:02.320 on you know the the great american state fair thing is going on at the national mall in washington

01:08:08.040 this summer and freedom 250 announced uh the lineup for the great american state fair is here

01:08:15.300 and it's bringing the hits martina mcbride young mc cnc music factory vanilla ice millie

01:08:20.760 who knew they really that's holy cow i'll tell that story some other day uh the commodores

01:08:28.980 morris day in the time florida brett michaels and many more okay so now here's here's what was

01:08:37.640 trending uh last night and today and that is all these people are pulling out and they're saying

01:08:42.080 we didn't know we had no idea we didn't know have any idea that this was so divisive brett michaels

01:08:48.320 said um he was worried because of the death threats wait death threats coming from whom

01:08:54.320 from from the people that were going to go to that or the people who don't want you to go to that

01:09:01.000 that's who you're afraid of you're not afraid of the people who are for this you're afraid of the

01:09:05.920 people who are against this that should tell you something you know here's what bothers me on all

01:09:11.220 of this news about this concert um i looked at the criticism i i searched it out okay i watched

01:09:21.560 all the performers pull out i've watched the headlines scream that these events are somehow

01:09:26.160 dangerous or divisive but i have not found any specifics what exactly are you objecting to what

01:09:33.980 did they ask you to do that was so partisan or divisive i mean if there is something truly

01:09:41.560 objectionable then tell us tell us show us the evidence let us judge for ourself because as i

01:09:48.060 said earlier you know this doesn't belong to donald trump and the republicans it doesn't

01:09:55.900 belong to it doesn't belong to barack obama or joe biden or the democrat this is an american thing

01:10:03.240 And if the entire argument boils down to one of these things, it says a lot.

01:10:16.580 Is it boiled down that you'll never work again if you show up?

01:10:21.560 Are you being threatened by your own colleagues?

01:10:24.020 You will never work again.

01:10:26.780 Nobody will ever trust you again.

01:10:28.200 If you go and perform on that stage, you'll never do anything again.

01:10:31.280 Is that what it is?

01:10:33.240 Or, or Michaels, is it really, is it the death threats?

01:10:41.700 I mean, if it's the death threats, shame on you, really shame on you.

01:10:46.600 You know, we have, we as a country survived because patriots risked their lives while in actual danger.

01:10:56.220 And you know what, honestly, some of us actually live in real danger.

01:10:59.600 Some of us live with death threats every single day, wherever we are.

01:11:06.700 But America historically has survived because there were a few people who stood when no one else would because they were all afraid.

01:11:18.200 It's in the Declaration of Independence, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

01:11:23.800 Are you not willing to risk that?

01:11:26.560 because that's what we're supposed to be celebrating.

01:11:32.660 Is it just because if it's divisive because of Donald Trump?

01:11:36.280 This isn't Donald Trump.

01:11:38.860 America is bigger than Donald Trump.

01:11:41.500 America was here before him.

01:11:42.980 America will be here after him.

01:11:45.040 George Washington is bigger than Donald Trump.

01:11:47.420 Abraham Lincoln is bigger than Donald Trump.

01:11:49.380 The American people, bigger than Donald Trump.

01:11:51.600 The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution,

01:11:53.940 the Bill of Rights, bigger than Donald Trump.

01:11:56.560 He just happens to be the president of the United States now.

01:12:01.520 The millions of Americans who built this country, defended this country, farmed this country,

01:12:06.960 invented in this country, sacrificed for this country, died for this country,

01:12:11.740 that's all bigger than Donald Trump.

01:12:14.380 And they're bigger than Joe Biden.

01:12:17.060 They're bigger than Barack Obama.

01:12:22.600 Is that what's so divisive?

01:12:24.280 Because that's the problem.

01:12:26.560 now we see everything as political everything the flag is political the anthem is political

01:12:33.640 the founders political the constitution now our birthday party is political

01:12:38.860 i'm i'm just i guess i'm just getting too old i was a kid in 1976 i was 12 years old

01:12:49.780 and i was probably in the most patriotic family ever we were trying to save our little town

01:12:57.140 little town of mount vernon washington and it was dying because the mall came in

01:13:03.820 and we thought my parents did mount vernon washington why don't why don't we make it

01:13:12.100 into like a little colonial town not like mount vernon you know and salute george washington maybe

01:13:18.560 you build a little miniature Mount Vernon because the bend of the river,

01:13:21.520 the Skagit River was right there.

01:13:23.020 It looked exactly the same.

01:13:24.660 And we'll make our town into something instead of just losing to the mall.

01:13:28.840 And so all through for like three years prior to the Bicentennial and during it,

01:13:34.860 I mean, we dressed up as, you know, I was a little drummer boy

01:13:37.900 and we marched in parades and all of that stuff.

01:13:41.000 But the one thing I remember about the Bicentennial is all Americans celebrated

01:13:45.740 the Bicentennial.

01:13:46.680 Everybody.

01:13:47.240 We were all in that one together.

01:13:48.560 It was everywhere.

01:13:50.200 And nobody asked if you're a Republican or a Democrat.

01:13:56.120 I remember people hated the president, President Nixon, hated him, hated Ford.

01:14:04.820 They still showed up.

01:14:08.440 Hated Carter.

01:14:09.800 They still showed up.

01:14:11.300 People who love the president showed up.

01:14:13.320 People who hated the president showed up because the celebration wasn't about the president.

01:14:17.440 It was about the country.

01:14:20.700 How have we lost that?

01:14:23.620 Are we really that small of a nation that we can only see ourselves through the lens of whoever is sitting in the Oval Office?

01:14:30.480 Wow, that is a dangerous way to think.

01:14:32.300 You want to talk about fascism?

01:14:33.920 That's the beginning of it.

01:14:36.600 A nation that can't celebrate itself forgets itself.

01:14:41.000 a people who only remember the failures eventually lose confidence in the future

01:14:48.540 we're almost there gang if we're not already confidence matters

01:14:52.880 and despite all of our mistakes despite all of our sins despite all of our shortcomings and there is

01:15:00.020 a long list believe me i have a museum i can outdo the worst people oh let me tell you how

01:15:07.260 bad the united states is you're a rookie let me show you the actual documents

01:15:11.760 still with all of that i know the united states has done extraordinary things for humanity

01:15:20.520 yeah we had slavery we also ended slavery we fought for it we're the only country that

01:15:29.020 fought our own people you know how many people died yeah vietnam so horrible went on for 10

01:15:34.900 years, what was it, 60,000, 66,000 people died in Vietnam? Nearly 700,000 people died in the Civil

01:15:44.280 War back when the population was a lot smaller. And when we fought in other wars, we go in and

01:15:52.080 we rebuild our enemies. We feed starving nations. We pioneer modern medicine, and then we volunteer

01:15:59.920 here and share it with them. We've created technologies that changed the world. We defended

01:16:04.700 freedom across continents. We send missionaries and charities and doctors and inventors and

01:16:10.100 entrepreneurs and dreamers into every corner of the globe. Now, is that the whole story? Of course

01:16:18.340 not. Of course not. But that's an important part of the story. And after we have been beating

01:16:26.820 ourselves up for the last 25 30 damn almost 50 years now maybe we could take a summer to remember

01:16:34.360 some of the good stuff so martina mcbride i love you my wife loves you i love you i have nothing

01:16:44.540 against you i just want to know your evidence i want to know what they asked you to do so 0.53

01:16:49.700 i can help you spread the word that that was wrong but i'll be damned i don't think you have a damn 0.86

01:16:57.420 thing i don't i think you have a lack of courage and i don't say i like you i don't mean i don't 0.98

01:17:05.860 say that to be mean to you but damn it it is time people have courage and stand up and say this 0.93

01:17:11.900 isn't about the president. And I don't care what you do to my career. I don't care anymore. My 0.97

01:17:19.720 country is more important. So if you want to boycott America's 250, it's your right. If you

01:17:25.980 want to criticize the event, that's your right. Just be honest about it. Tell us exactly what

01:17:32.140 you oppose. Tell us exactly what is divisive. Don't hide behind the slogans. Don't hide behind

01:17:38.880 the headlines make the case and let the american people decide because if the only reason you can't

01:17:48.340 celebrate america's birthday is that it's a president that you dislike might show up somewhere

01:17:53.740 might be nearby you and maybe that that's your problem then that your problem is not the

01:18:00.400 celebration the problem is is you've made one man larger than the country and no president deserves

01:18:08.840 that power. Not Donald Trump. No one deserves it. America is bigger than all of the presidents.

01:18:20.200 Help me help you. Tell me what was so divisive. I want to know.

01:18:26.920 and if I don't hear

01:18:34.100 others can judge you any way they want

01:18:37.860 and I'm not going to judge you

01:18:40.120 but I am going to chalk it up to

01:18:43.400 cowardice

01:18:44.840 you're afraid of what people will say about you

01:18:49.220 what will happen to your sales

01:18:51.860 what will happen to your career

01:18:55.120 Will I get a job?

01:18:56.360 Will I be hated?

01:18:58.040 Grow up.

01:19:02.840 If your friends and your coworkers demand that of you,

01:19:07.180 they were never your friends.

01:19:09.660 And you shouldn't want to work with them anyway.

01:19:19.020 Picture this.

01:19:19.520 You see a house that you really like.

01:19:21.000 You knock on the door.

01:19:22.060 When the owner opens it up, you say,

01:19:23.860 hi, like your house, here's some money. You hand the guy your credit card, boom, now you own the

01:19:28.900 house. Wouldn't that be nice? They just move out, you move in, everybody wins. It doesn't happen

01:19:33.300 that way. I don't need to tell you it's a lot more complicated. It involves really difficult

01:20:16.240 Glenn Beck.

01:20:21.120 hey tomorrow don't miss the next episode of the american story podcast series based on the book

01:20:40.580 the american story by david and tim barton it's episode eight america's secret reboot the making

01:20:46.680 of the U.S. Constitution. Here is a clip. Listen to this. These men, who stared down the redcoats

01:20:52.460 and endured brutal winters of near starvation, are now facing a bitter truth. They might never

01:20:58.700 ever see a dime of what was promised. Whispers in the barracks turn to shouts and suddenly 400

01:21:05.140 Continental Army troops erupt into action. The soldiers bar the door of Independence Hall.

01:21:11.580 The delegates are now trapped inside, held hostage by their own troops.

01:21:16.300 The crowds outside grow more and more restless, fueled by the rum and their sense of betrayal.

01:21:22.320 It's a full-blown mutiny, a powder keg ready to explode, the fragile unity of a nation barely born.

01:21:30.980 It takes Alexander Hamilton, himself a veteran of revolutionary battles, to calm things down.

01:21:37.120 He negotiates, convincing the soldiers to stand down just enough for Congress to leave the building without harm.

01:21:44.260 But when Congress then begs the Pennsylvania state militia for protection, the state refuses without any explanation.

01:21:52.640 Maybe state leaders sympathize with the unpaid troops, or perhaps they're too cowardly to confront armed veterans.

01:21:59.880 So no help arrives.

01:22:01.700 Hamilton's blood boils over at the lack of assistance.

01:22:04.720 He later writes to the governor of his home state, New York.

01:22:08.720 The conduct of the executive of this state was to the last degree weak and disgusting.

01:22:15.720 Two days later, the mutiny still simmers.

01:22:19.960 No sign of soldiers backing down.

01:22:22.500 The Confederation Congress makes a humiliating run for it.

01:22:27.200 They flee Philadelphia entirely, packing up what little dignity they have,

01:22:32.220 and they moved the national capital to Princeton, New Jersey.

01:22:36.520 For a nation just born, it feels like a breakdown.

01:22:40.580 The revolution has promised freedom and unity,

01:22:42.760 and it now looks like it's eating itself alive.

01:22:45.560 The government that had won the war can't even protect itself from its own soldiers,

01:22:50.360 and yet this moment of near-mutiny becomes one of the sparks that ignites an essential reboot.

01:22:57.160 Because in 1783, America was not a strong union.

01:23:01.080 It was a fragile experiment, one paycheck away from total collapse.

01:23:06.060 The brand new nation was really not off to a great start, and it was about to get worse.

01:23:13.780 Yes, you've never heard history like this before.

01:23:17.420 It's the way I wish I would have learned history, because it's not boring.

01:23:21.540 Check out episode eight of The American Story.

01:23:23.760 It's tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast.

01:23:26.200 It's all part of our summer of education as part of the torch.

01:25:57.060 just get it for the amount of decline that we've had uh anyway um welcome to the program i have

01:26:02.920 steve dace joining me here in just a second we want to talk about restoring the country

01:26:06.800 what's going on there's i mean rape is exploding in europe the numbers are shocking i wonder what's

01:26:15.340 causing this meanwhile first woman wearing a hijab crowned miss wayne county at the memorial

01:26:22.120 day parade in dearborn michigan and on top of that we had aoc remember she's a strong woman

01:26:29.080 dressing uh in it was she in a burka or just the hijab it was a hijab hijab um dressing in the 1.00

01:26:38.120 hijab how does a how does a feminist do that i guess it doesn't matter right it doesn't matter 1.00

01:26:45.000 if you're on that side, you don't have to make sense. We've got Steve Dace coming in. We're 1.00

01:26:49.680 going to talk about our kids and everything else, our future of our country in 60 seconds. First,

01:26:54.660 let me tell you about chapter. If you're about to turn 65 or you recently have, whatever you do,

01:26:59.760 don't take Medicare lightly. Don't assume one size fits all when it comes to Medicare plans.

01:27:04.700 It's easy to assume Medicare is Medicare and you pick something quickly and you assume you're,

01:27:09.660 you know, you're done. But unfortunately you might be done. You know, they have different plans,

01:27:13.960 different costs, different coverage, different doctors and network, different prescription

01:27:17.400 benefits, different out-of-pocket expenses. In other words, this is not a decision you want to

01:27:22.380 make by yourself, quite honestly. That's why there's Chapter. Chapter is a service that

01:27:30.020 helps you compare plans from more than anybody else can show you. I think they can actually

01:27:34.860 show you coverage in every single plan in America. But if not, it's a huge, nobody else can do it

01:27:41.040 like this. And they'll listen to your situation. Your doctors are unique, unique, your problems are

01:27:47.420 unique. So don't assume that you just can just take the umbrella of Medicare. You need something

01:27:53.700 unique for you. What's the best plan for you? Please, I want you to go to chapter. Give them

01:27:59.440 a call. The call is absolutely free. You dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter, pound 250,

01:28:04.620 just say chapter. All right, Steve Dace joins us now.

01:28:11.040 steve how are you i'm good brother how are you i'm good it's good to talk to you my friend

01:28:18.100 good to talk good to see you can be heard by the way on uh blaze uh right after this program every

01:28:23.420 day um so i i have so much stuff to talk to you about let me let me just start with uh let me just

01:28:32.220 start with the the the news of the day with america 250 i just talked about this here a

01:28:41.040 that's going on i mean it sounds fun you know i i think i think actually i'm gonna go to it

01:28:46.340 um but i mean who knew millie vanille even was still an act um but they're all saying that

01:28:53.320 they're getting out because it's too divisive and i haven't heard anyone say what it was that

01:28:57.780 they were asked to do that was divisive other than the president might show up right you know

01:29:03.880 i was in dc last week glenn i got to see a lot of the setup is they're getting ready for this and

01:29:08.720 if there's one thing I think we all know the Trumps know how to do is throw a party. And this

01:29:12.300 is going to be quite a bash for America's 250th. And you know that Homer Simpson gif where he just

01:29:17.600 kind of just retreats back into the bushes. You know what I'm saying? Okay. I think when a lot

01:29:23.500 of us saw the announcement of this lineup, we kind of just rolled our eyes and like, what are

01:29:28.160 we doing? There's a lot of washed ups, a lot of has-beens, several never actually were. And it 0.82

01:29:33.880 just seem like kind of this motley crew you know no pun intended uh alignment yeah don't make fun

01:29:39.400 of motley crew that's an insult to motley crew yeah that's true i mean they've had way more hit

01:29:43.920 songs than most of these acts yeah i think we should just take this as an opportunity to just

01:29:48.260 do the homer simpson gif retreat back into the bushes mistakes were made this never happened

01:29:53.740 we don't need to get uh you know um rejected by a bunch of g-list celebrities or people who are

01:29:59.980 past their prime, or people who were begging for you to bend the knee to George Floyd like

01:30:05.460 Martina McBride was back in the day. And I think we ought to take a page out of what TPUSA did

01:30:10.600 at the halftime show. We ought to elevate our own. The presidency in America 250 is a platform in and

01:30:18.000 of itself. We could create our own superstars. People are going to tune in just because of the

01:30:21.660 greatness of the occasion and the event. And I think we ought to take a page out of what TPUSA

01:30:25.760 did during the super bowl and just elevate our own and elevate our own worldview uh take a page

01:30:30.620 out of charlie's memorial there were a lot of very talented and and best-selling christian

01:30:34.760 you know contemporary music artists that showed up to play at that and i still think we can put

01:30:39.040 on one hell of an event here without any of the spirit of the ages contributions at all and we

01:30:44.040 just don't need to constantly be getting celebrity acceptance and mainstream legitimacy and and i

01:30:50.020 think that this was just a misstep and i think we should take it as an opportunity to course correct

01:30:54.240 here yeah i i find it uh cowardice uh and i'm not surprised by it i'm not surprised by it i mean

01:31:01.880 everybody you know has their own pain point and in that world even millie vanilli who hasn't had

01:31:08.780 a phone call since maybe 1989 right uh was like somebody wants us i i didn't even know that they

01:31:17.640 were above room temperature like i didn't know they were alive okay no idea i don't even know

01:31:23.100 if they're the same millie or vanilla i have no idea more do i care um you know i'm not going to

01:31:30.140 washington for a concert you know to see any of these any of these people and i like martina mcbride

01:31:35.600 i like martina a lot um and you know but i won't go any further than that but uh anyway um all right

01:31:43.880 now let me talk to you about two other things that are happening in our country that are just

01:31:48.200 changing the culture. AOC wearing the hijab. Here's a woman who is a woman's rights leader, 1.00

01:32:01.660 strong women, blah, blah, blah. How do you feel about that? 0.99

01:32:08.740 Many of us on the right have observed, it's interesting to have a movement called

01:32:12.180 Queers for Palestine when you can't be a queer in Palestine. I think that what we are learning

01:32:17.660 Glenn is the spirit of the age and the church of hell has denominations like Christianity does 0.83

01:32:22.160 right and and those those denominations may fight and scratch and claw and argue and and you try to 0.83

01:32:29.120 get into the front of the line and have their particular sectarian theological nuance ascend

01:32:34.060 it at any given time but when push comes to shove you know I mean like when the Muslims show up in 0.89

01:32:38.240 Vienna or just outside the gates of gay Paris suddenly everybody puts those differences aside 1.00

01:32:42.620 and realizes we're on the same team and I think you're seeing that here with the church of hell 1.00

01:32:46.580 the spirit of the age, right? Of course, it looks just beyond silly to see a woman who has 1.00

01:32:52.220 essentially branded herself as the ultimate third wave feminist who dressed in The Handmaid's Tale 0.98

01:32:57.440 at a State of the Union address, now wearing the ultimate sign of female subservience in the hijab, 0.91

01:33:05.680 right? But if you stop and you look at it that way, and you realize whatever undoes the Christendom, 0.99

01:33:12.020 Whatever undoes the fabric and fundamentals of Western civilization, when that opportunity comes up, I doubt she likes a lot of the way women are treated within the Islamic world, but if you could unite with them to undo what's left of the West, they're all in. 0.96

01:33:27.300 They'll come together for the Antifada because in the end, they're all on the same team. 0.96

01:33:32.720 They're branches off of the same tree, and I think that these kinds of images just kind of confirm that.

01:33:37.480 so i have to tell you steve that's why i wanted to have you on today because i i've been saying

01:33:42.480 this for a long time i know you feel the same way we have to put our differences aside um and you

01:33:47.720 know we we we need to do you agree with the constitution bill of rights good then we're on

01:33:52.740 the same side um and uh and start coming together and the biggest thing we have to do is educate our

01:33:59.080 children and i wanted to have you on because torch is doing summer of education um for the next 250

01:34:05.620 If we don't educate our kids, we're not going to have another 250.

01:34:08.740 We may not have another 25 minutes if we don't educate our kids.

01:34:12.740 And you're putting out the third in a series of books.

01:34:16.520 And this one is, what is it?

01:34:18.540 Why Independence Day?

01:34:20.200 Is that the name of it?

01:34:20.980 I can't remember.

01:34:21.900 Why Independence Day?

01:34:23.540 America is great because God is good.

01:34:26.840 And the subtitle says it all.

01:34:28.360 I mean, our 250th birthday is really an event that is 3,000 years in the making.

01:34:32.640 Charlie used to point out that Deuteronomy was the most quoted book by the founders, collectively,

01:34:37.640 which would make sense.

01:34:38.680 I mean, Moses is sitting there at the brink of, this is his goodbye letter, his eulogy,

01:34:42.740 essentially, farewell address.

01:34:43.900 They're at the brink of the promised land.

01:34:45.260 He's laying out for them.

01:34:46.780 Deuteronomy literally means giving of the law or re-giving of the law, the second law.

01:34:50.760 And he is reiterating now what their covenant with God will be and what godly character

01:34:54.720 of a nation is expected to be.

01:34:56.140 And so it would make sense that if you're attempting to create a country where there's

01:35:00.360 no king but jesus that there is a government exists only to secure your god-given rights

01:35:05.100 and it's limited to just that jurisdiction then you're going to need a people to be governed by

01:35:09.280 a higher authority than just themselves and that is the creator of the universe and so it's it's

01:35:14.400 not a secret that you see things happening like like if you go to texas right now you're not sure

01:35:19.240 if you're in mumbai or dubai uh in a lot of texas right now and and why has that happened

01:35:25.480 because the more that we have departed from our founding and turned away from it nature abhors a

01:35:29.900 vacuum. A new theology will step in to take the place of the one that founded the country. And

01:35:35.300 we planned this trilogy out five years ago to do this every other year. And we always plan this

01:35:41.020 for the 250th birthday, Glenn. But I had no idea when we plotted this out, even when we were

01:35:45.880 illustrating, it takes eight months or so to illustrate one of these books. I had no idea

01:35:49.940 all the anti-Semitism and the nihilism. I mean, at this time last year, we're all very fired up.

01:35:54.860 the president had come out of the gate swinging with an amphibious assault against the left after

01:36:00.300 a big election victory. So when we were putting this together, I had no idea that we were going

01:36:04.420 to be having all these fights about whether resurrect Marcion and separate Judaism from

01:36:08.760 Christianity and all this other stuff that's going on right now. And it looks almost like I

01:36:12.640 wrote this book to answer this stuff, Glenn, and nothing could be further from the truth. It's just

01:36:16.480 our history. And right now there is a movement afoot of people wearing our uniform on our side

01:36:21.520 right now that are trying to retell that history, trying to do their own essential version of

01:36:25.820 revisionism of history. Let's, in fact, even reconsider Winston Churchill. Maybe he wasn't

01:36:31.240 the hero that we thought. And so as long as we entertain that splintering, we have no chance 0.98

01:36:36.300 to unite against what is united against us. I will say it's not a coincidence also that

01:36:43.080 you wrote this book and it's apropos for this time because you're a guy who listens to the

01:36:48.220 lord and follows what he wants you to do and he is always ahead of all of us it's it's really

01:36:54.020 remarkable to see him work um so um tell me what you think is coming with this splinter i mean are

01:37:05.580 we going to pull back together for this next election or is this i mean how does this work

01:37:11.620 with this splinter, Steve.

01:37:13.160 It's so concerning to me.

01:37:15.840 I think you're watching a schism occur.

01:37:19.480 And I think the timing of it,

01:37:21.040 we're only one year into President Trump's reign here.

01:37:23.640 I mean, he's going to be around three more years.

01:37:25.500 And if you've been around Donald Trump

01:37:26.700 for more than 10 minutes, as I know you have,

01:37:28.880 this idea that when his term is up,

01:37:30.680 he's just going to then just ride off into the sunset

01:37:32.620 is not true.

01:37:33.840 This guy has occupied the spotlight his entire life.

01:37:37.260 Before becoming president,

01:37:38.420 he was arguably the most powerful,

01:37:39.660 most popular celebrity on planet earth so i mean this is this is a permanent part of who we are as

01:37:46.920 a movement now and i think the fact that you're seeing people plot out their divorce one year

01:37:51.380 into this uh is an is indicative of a schism and we've seen schisms all throughout the history of

01:37:56.800 the church all throughout the history of the west and you're watching one of those occur right now

01:38:00.900 and you're watching a group of people that and i don't think it's i think for some people it's a

01:38:05.480 grift. But some of the people that are doing this are serious people, people you and I have known

01:38:10.340 for many years and are thoughtful people. And I think they clearly believe the way forward that

01:38:17.080 Israel is a uniquely evil nation. I mean, I've had Tucker communicate this to me in private

01:38:22.180 exchanges, that they're a uniquely evil nation and that therefore then the path forward must be 0.87

01:38:27.940 to realign the Judeo-Christian understanding of the West. That's why I cited Marcion earlier, 0.76

01:38:32.880 The great heretic who thought, we divorced Christianity from Judaism. 0.86

01:38:37.360 And that was one of the great Gnostic heresies of the early era of the church. 0.97

01:38:41.800 And so his goal, I think, if you watch- 0.91

01:38:43.440 It's one of the first things that happened to the church in 1933 when Hitler took over, too. 0.96

01:38:49.080 Correct. 0.99

01:38:49.540 There's nothing new under the sun. 1.00

01:38:50.100 Get rid of all the Judaism. 1.00

01:38:51.520 Yeah, just new people under the sun who haven't heard it yet. 1.00

01:38:54.340 I think they absolutely believe that we need to recalibrate into Chrislam, into a Christian-Islam alliance.

01:39:00.820 I think they absolutely believe this.

01:39:03.980 And I think it's historically insane.

01:39:06.680 And one of the things I've tried to ask Tucker privately on numerous occasions,

01:39:10.500 and I've just finally gave up.

01:39:12.160 When we got to the point that the book of Esther was really about Persian genocide,

01:39:16.060 that was just kind of my get-off point.

01:39:17.900 And I have kind of held out because I love the dude,

01:39:20.580 and he's been solid to me and so many people.

01:39:22.860 But when we got to the point that it's about Persian genocide,

01:39:25.840 that was my get-off point.

01:39:27.200 But I kept asking him, tell me, Tucker, for 1,400 years,

01:39:30.820 we had islam on the earth and no country named israel as any kind of fulcrum or center or

01:39:36.580 repository of tension here between islam and the west so explain to me brother you're a smart guy

01:39:41.240 how did islam treat the west during those 1400 years when there was no nation of israel it was 0.86

01:39:45.840 a pox romana we got along great we it was just kumbaya right those churches in asia minor that

01:39:51.300 the book of revelation begins with they just had a democratic election glenn and just decided to

01:39:55.820 join the islamic horde that's what happened there the assyrian christians the lebanese christians

01:39:59.960 the Egyptian Christians, the Syrian Christians were first called Christians in Antioch. That's 0.85

01:40:04.440 in Syria. Paul's on the road to Damascus where he gets converted. Syria. Where did all these

01:40:10.380 Christian enclaves go? I mean, did Bibi Netanyahu take them all out? What happened? And they never 0.99

01:40:16.100 have an answer for these questions because what they want doesn't align with historical precedent

01:40:21.220 whatsoever. And so they have to essentially nihilist our past and say, well, you don't

01:40:25.960 really understand your history. That's the same kind of stuff the left does, by the way,

01:40:29.460 that you don't really understand your history we need to re-evaluate uh the uh the post-war

01:40:34.540 consensus and hey i think there's some things post-world war ii that we need to re-evaluate

01:40:38.640 but the idea the idea though let's fundamentally re-evaluate the last war we all agree we were

01:40:44.360 morally united on it was the morally righteous crusade that's cultural suicide is what that is

01:40:49.280 it is it is uh can you hang on for just a couple more minutes sure okay uh steve days uh we'll be

01:40:56.640 back in just a second in 60 seconds to be precise the convenience of modern american life sometimes

01:41:01.820 comps complicates our efforts to maintain our values for instance not too long ago if you wanted

01:41:06.360 a good cell phone coverage you pretty much had to go with one of the big boys companies like

01:41:10.200 verizon or at&t or t-mobile so even if you knew some of these companies were donating to causes

01:41:15.280 that you really were strongly against you couldn't do a lot about it but it's not that way anymore

01:41:20.440 patriot mobile gives you an alternative they offer dependable nationwide coverage on all three major

01:41:25.160 networks so you don't have to sacrifice service to stay true to your values and that's important

01:41:29.640 because your monthly cell phone bill is something you're already paying anyway the question is where

01:41:35.020 is that money going after it leaves your pocket with patriot mobile you can get the coverage you

01:41:39.600 need while supporting a company that's you know open about standing for the values that matter to

01:41:43.920 so many of us so go to patriot mobile.com slash beck call 972 patriot 972 patriot use the promo

01:41:49.700 code beck at a free month of service patriot mobile.com slash beck 972 patriot promo code

01:41:56.300 beck make the switch today 10 seconds

01:41:58.000 steve's new book is out it is called why independence day it's for children why independence

01:42:14.960 day, America is great because God is good. And when I say it's for children, I hate to say that

01:42:19.980 it's for families. And, uh, quite honestly, a lot of our history is for adults too, because

01:42:26.020 we don't know any of it. We just didn't learn any of this stuff. And so, uh, you know, you might

01:42:34.600 want to start with a children's book, at least read it to your kids or your grandkids. Uh, you'd

01:42:38.640 be surprised what you might learn as well so steve um is the is the election this coming election in

01:42:47.240 as much trouble as everybody says it is i would say yes and no i mean fundamentally we're up against

01:42:53.520 history here glenn i mean if you go back 1982 reagan lost 30 house seats a dozen governorships

01:42:58.740 and then it was morning in america again two years later we could do the one exception where a

01:43:02.960 president i mean barack obama got molly whopped in two midterm elections bill clinton got molly

01:43:07.940 opt in the first midterm election. So if you look at what happens to presidents after they get

01:43:13.080 elected, with one exception, George W. Bush in 2002, when America was still pretty united after

01:43:19.220 9-11, that's the one time a president got an actual win in modern times in a midterm, right

01:43:24.860 after winning a presidential. So there's history there. So we're up against that. Democrats are

01:43:28.980 up against an unfavorable redistricting map and an unfavorable Senate map. My math right now,

01:43:34.060 I think there might be no more than 20 and as few as 15 truly toss-up House seats. But I think the

01:43:40.040 thing to be concerned about with that, though, is Democrats, again, are not like the forces that

01:43:45.280 we just talked about on our side right now. I think we all know that if they have a two-seat

01:43:49.420 majority, they're going to behave like they have a 200-seat majority. I think we all know that,

01:43:53.120 right? They're going to march in lockstep. So it's great that we're shrinking their margin

01:43:57.380 of error for us, and we're shrinking the map via redistricting. But if they get any majority at all,

01:44:03.020 it's just going to look like they have unanimity. So I think that, you know, I look at my home

01:44:07.560 state of Iowa right now, we're going to have a first gubernatorial primary we've had in over a

01:44:11.620 decade. Actually, it's been 15 years. We have more Republicans in our state than ever before,

01:44:16.320 750,000 Glenn. Right now, I'm forecasting we're going to have a lower than 25% turnout.

01:44:21.840 In the state of Texas, the March primary there. So you had the most hotly contested Senate primary

01:44:28.280 in America was Cornyn and Paxton, right? And then you have maybe the most expensive attorney general

01:44:32.860 race in American history with Mays Middleton and Chip Roy, and yet about 140,000 more Democrats

01:44:37.740 voted in their primary than voted in the Republican primary, despite all that attention and all those

01:44:42.900 resources. Our base needs to be energized and needs the president back out on the campaign trail,

01:44:49.820 needs, frankly, to see whenever epic fury is done, Americans need to see, our base needs to see an

01:44:54.700 epic fury of our domestic agenda. They need to see that we are fighting as hard for our domestic

01:44:59.120 agenda as we are our interest overseas. And I think that's very winnable. The fact that the

01:45:04.820 Democrats don't have this wrapped up is indicative. I think a lot of normies realize how insane and

01:45:09.180 crazy they are. What they're waiting to see is that we're going to deliver on the things that

01:45:13.240 we promised. I know. I know. And that is, you know, that message is clear. I mean, with Cornyn,

01:45:19.340 that message was clearly sent. Look, dude, we're done with this. We're done with this. And I'm

01:45:24.740 glad to see that. But the one thing that we can't survive is if the president appears to be

01:45:32.900 forgetting the little guy, because he's always been the president and the little guy. And if

01:45:37.500 he's not fixing and being seen fixing the problems of the little guy, it's not going to go well.

01:45:43.480 Steve, thank you so much. Real quick. Yeah, go ahead.

01:45:46.820 When the president says he doesn't care about the midterms when asked about gas prices,

01:45:50.300 I think it's important for our audiences to understand he's in a high leverage negotiation

01:45:54.320 with iran he cannot show any weakness to them at all otherwise they'll say we'll just wait it out

01:45:58.360 then because you'll have to give up if your poll numbers are bad he obviously cares it's been his

01:46:02.100 whole brand he's lost every one of his famous relationships by aligning with people like us

01:46:07.400 but you have to give him some room to negotiate with iran right now with language like that

01:46:11.420 exactly right thanks steve and steve will follow me on blaze blaze tv uh all right let me tell you

01:46:19.280 about um relief factor some people call it aging other people call it life but what if you're

01:46:27.420 feeling pain it's not inevitable maybe it's just untreated or not being treated the right way when

01:46:33.740 you're dealing with constant pain in your back or your knees your neck your shoulders anything

01:46:36.880 it's easy to tell yourself this way it's going to be because you know i remember my father he

01:46:42.220 started feeling bad at this time you know and you just start adjusting without realize how much

01:46:47.880 you've already adjusted how much it's changed you you move less you sleep different you're

01:46:52.160 shorter with people you stop doing things you used to enjoy you just just to avoid the stiffness

01:46:56.660 that follows relief factor it was not designed to mask that pain it was designed to go after

01:47:01.820 what's causing it and that's inflammation it's a daily supplement formulated by doctors with

01:47:06.720 natural ingredients that support your body's own ability to reduce pain and heal itself over time

01:47:12.240 it's not a quick fix but it's a real path forward one that hundreds of thousands of people have

01:47:16.600 already taken, including me. Try that path. It's relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. Try

01:47:22.440 their three-week quick start. 1995, 800, the number four relief. America turns 250 once,

01:47:30.560 and at Torch, we are going to treat it like it matters. So America thrives for another 250.

01:47:35.340 Join us now at glennbeck.com slash Torch.

01:47:46.600 last night somewhere in america there was a dad who was standing in the kitchen after everybody

01:48:01.380 had gone to bed all right already and the house was quiet and the dishwasher was humming

01:48:06.380 and his phone in his hand

01:48:08.960 maybe he just came in from helping his son or daughter do homework

01:48:14.960 and in that process because i've lived it that son or daughter asked a simple question

01:48:23.540 it could have been about math it could have been dad what does the constitution actually do 0.98

01:48:29.980 and he froze and and not because this dad is dumb not because his dad doesn't care 0.97

01:48:39.180 but because somewhere along the way nobody really ever taught him either okay he knows it matters 0.98

01:48:49.000 he feels it in his bones but he cannot explain it

01:48:52.960 i've lived that moment and it is a terrifying moment for a parent to be when you experience 0.86

01:49:01.700 it you're like oh my gosh and you immediately think i'm the dumbest person in the world how

01:49:05.440 do i not know this you know we just assumed that all of this stuff would just transfer you know

01:49:11.620 that schools were going to teach history honestly that civics would be obvious you know when i was

01:49:17.720 growing up the world was easier than it is now and and you know when i started having kids i just

01:49:23.480 you know somehow or another our kids are going to absorb what made this country different they'll

01:49:27.600 just see it okay but they don't instead they're absorbing something else and it's not good they're

01:49:33.780 being told America is beyond an accident. It's a tragedy. And when they're not hearing that,

01:49:40.680 they're hearing that fame and fortune and power is everything and that truth is relative and

01:49:45.640 the past is mostly shameful. And you feel it as a parent. You feel it. You feel it when your son

01:49:53.380 comes home cynical at 14. You feel it when your daughter says she doesn't even know if this

01:49:57.680 country is worth believing in. And you thought you were doing a good job teaching them. You feel

01:50:03.480 it when you realize they can name TikTok influencers, but not the three branches of

01:50:08.820 government. That's not their fault. It's not entirely our fault either.

01:50:19.060 They started with us at my age. Most of us were never taught how to think about power, truth,

01:50:24.800 liberty, responsibility. How could we? We're in government schools. You think the government is

01:50:29.240 going to teach us about how they're like fire as george washington said the government is fire

01:50:34.540 be very cautious of it why would a government school teach you that we were handed opinions

01:50:41.180 we were not handed principles we were handed headlines not history arguments not understanding

01:50:50.620 dates what the hell does that date and that name mean nothing if you don't know the story

01:50:59.240 and so now we're finding ourselves as parents in a moment that history will remember

01:51:05.800 and we find ourselves trying to teach our kids something we don't really know ourselves

01:51:14.180 and we're so busy not about you i am exhausted by the end of the night i'm exhausted yeah okay let

01:51:22.700 me go in now and do my own homework i already did homework once it pisses me off that i have

01:51:27.380 to help my kids with it a second time but this is the real crisis it's not politics it's not

01:51:35.000 it's preparation it's the quiet fear that your child is going to inherit inherit a country they

01:51:40.900 don't understand and therefore can't defend because you understand it but you can't really

01:51:47.960 defend it this is the real reason i built the torch it's not another media company

01:51:56.700 we don't need another media company it's not a political megaphone torch in the coming months

01:52:05.080 and years you will see i hope that it is a tool i was having a meeting yesterday and i said

01:52:10.660 we need to be able to become a tool so when somebody goes i don't know the answer to that

01:52:16.800 how does that work what what does that mean it's a source that they can ask and it can give it to 0.91

01:52:23.140 you and you trust it because it's not chachy pt it's not some ai slop that's coming out of god 0.95

01:52:31.600 knows who you don't trust i don't trust any of that stuff a place where a mom can sit down with 0.82

01:52:39.320 her 12 year old and say okay let's learn this together we're a dad like me who never really got

01:52:49.040 real civics education, can finally understand what does civics even mean?

01:52:57.460 How does it work without being talked down to, where history is told in context,

01:53:04.380 where cause and consequence matter, where ethics are discussed seriously,

01:53:10.220 where critical thinking is practiced, not preached. That's one of the most important

01:53:15.300 things. This summer is the summer of education. The summer of 250 is the summer of education

01:53:19.600 for America's next 250 years. And we are going to provide, beginning next month, our first

01:53:27.820 structured lessons and family study guides. We already have dozens of documentaries and

01:53:34.400 history series that don't assume you're stupid. And we have this amazing series that we're now 0.99

01:53:42.240 publicly what up to outside of torch world we're up to eight eight eight episode eight here's just

01:53:50.000 you that you want to learn history if if history sounded like this when i was in school i would

01:53:56.020 have known history listen to this this is the american story this is episode eight that is

01:54:00.400 coming out everywhere you get your podcast tomorrow this is about how the constitution

01:54:05.280 came about listen to this these men who stared down the redcoats and endured brutal winters

01:54:11.960 of near starvation are now facing a bitter truth. They might never ever see a dime of what was

01:54:18.300 promised. Whispers in the barracks turn to shouts and suddenly 400 Continental Army troops erupt

01:54:25.080 into action. The soldiers bar the door of Independence Hall. The delegates are now trapped

01:54:31.200 inside, held hostage by their own troops. The crowds outside grow more and more restless,

01:54:37.080 fueled by the rum and their sense of betrayal.

01:54:40.360 It's a full-blown mutiny, a powder keg ready to explode,

01:54:44.680 the fragile unity of a nation barely born.

01:54:49.020 It takes Alexander Hamilton, himself a veteran of revolutionary battles,

01:54:53.900 to calm things down.

01:54:55.160 He negotiates, convincing the soldiers to stand down just enough for Congress

01:54:59.940 to leave the building without harm.

01:55:02.260 But when Congress then begs the Pennsylvania State Militia for protection,

01:55:07.080 The state refuses without any explanation.

01:55:10.680 Maybe state leaders sympathize with the unpaid troops, 0.92

01:55:13.640 or perhaps they're too cowardly to confront armed veterans.

01:55:17.920 So no help arrives. 0.94

01:55:19.740 Hamilton's blood boils over at the lack of assistance.

01:55:22.760 He later writes to the governor of his home state, New York.

01:55:26.760 The conduct of the executive of this state was to the last degree weak and disgusting.

01:55:33.780 Two days later, the mutiny still simmers.

01:55:38.040 No sign of soldiers backing down.

01:55:40.540 The Confederation Congress makes a humiliating run for it.

01:55:45.200 They flee Philadelphia entirely, packing up what little dignity they have,

01:55:50.400 and they move the national capital to Princeton, New Jersey.

01:55:54.300 For a nation just born, it feels like a breakdown.

01:55:58.120 The revolution has promised freedom and unity, and it now looks like it's eating itself alive.

01:56:03.600 The government that had won the war can't even protect itself from its own soldiers.

01:56:08.400 And yet, this moment of near-mutiny becomes one of the sparks that ignites an essential reboot.

01:56:15.200 Because in 1783, America was not a strong union.

01:56:19.120 It was a fragile experiment, one paycheck away from total collapse.

01:56:24.300 The brand new nation was really not off to a great start.

01:56:28.220 And it was about to get worse.

01:56:30.960 so this is based on david barton's uh book the american story the beginnings um and it has been

01:56:38.860 adapted by the best writer one of the best writers i know um i have several really good

01:56:45.200 writers but uh nathan nipper is an incredible history buff and knows how to write and then

01:56:53.580 nick daly does all of our production and sam carden does all of our music and i mean we spend

01:56:59.240 each episode runs about 45 minutes and i think they're what are they eight days to produce

01:57:06.700 something like that each episode it's it's a crazy amount of time but i want it to be riveting

01:57:12.320 because i believe everybody learns a different way i'm very visual um i i connect to stories

01:57:19.640 most people do connect to stories so i want to hear it i want to see it um some people connect

01:57:25.260 through music some people through um just asking questions and and and reading everybody has a

01:57:33.440 different way to learn we're trying to cover all of them this summer we're releasing 10 songs each

01:57:39.220 song is about a different bill of right so we start with the first amendment it's called five

01:57:44.880 in the first and it will come with an actual lesson plan and it's important to me you know

01:57:51.340 our education system, it was never, we didn't sit down and take tests.

01:57:55.060 You would actually stand in front of the teacher and it was catechism and they

01:57:58.280 would ask you what, you know, why is the constitution important?

01:58:03.560 Why did they, why did they put the first amendment in?

01:58:08.120 What are those five freedoms that you get?

01:58:11.220 Why is that important?

01:58:12.280 Well, what happens if somebody says something that you don't like?

01:58:15.980 Why should you defend that?

01:58:17.440 Even if you think it's really harmful or maybe even a lie, do they have a right to say that?

01:58:23.000 That's the testing that we used to go through.

01:58:25.220 It was catechism.

01:58:26.520 And so we've built it that way because it requires you to think, not memorize.

01:58:32.500 Think.

01:58:33.480 And that's the problem with our families, our kids, even us.

01:58:36.300 We don't know how to think anymore.

01:58:39.220 We're letting a machine do it for us now, and that's going to get worse and worse.

01:58:42.860 And we have a responsibility.

01:58:44.780 If we don't teach ourselves and our children who they are, someone else will.

01:58:53.260 So join us, will you?

01:58:58.280 We also are, if you happen to read, um, chasing embers, the, um, book that I put out, was it last year, two years ago, two years ago for summer that had huge, huge fan base.

01:59:11.160 and people have been asking me two questions a are you going to finish the series because there's

01:59:15.640 i think six or eight in the series um and we just did number one uh and i didn't have time to cut

01:59:24.100 the um the audiobook and that was the other thing people love to listen to it on audiobook with

01:59:29.180 their families especially for a summer drive that is coming out next month as well uh book one and

02:00:48.120 politician and that politician knowing what the bill of rights means being able to say no by

02:00:56.340 standing against sharia law that is not covered by the first amendment and here's why that matters

02:04:58.760 It does with me.
