00:11:51.560Okay. All right. Well, I mean, I don't think that's honoring anybody.
00:11:55.160That's a man telling you out loud exactly what he's getting away with and waiting for you to clap.1.00
00:12:01.040So go ahead, leftist, you moron imbecile. Clap if you want.1.00
00:12:06.780Kevin's still walking, but thanks for acknowledging that it was his car.
00:12:13.100Okay. So I'm sorry. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I had to start there.
00:12:18.300Now, here's Michelle Obama. She steps to the mic. And didn't she look beautiful? Oh, my gosh. Did you see what she was wearing? Michelle, who are you wearing? She steps and she starts talking about dreamers. Okay. Here she is.0.99
00:12:35.880immigrants proving what it truly means to be a dreamer. These folks,0.96
00:12:43.000these folks aren't Americans too. They are America. They are the beating heart of this country.
00:12:53.500They are us and we are them. And to ignore the simple truth, to refuse to respect the
00:13:03.280contributions and experiences of people who aren't exactly like us y'all put it puts us all at risk
00:13:10.620failing to see the humanity and all can we stop because she's topping you talking about dreamers
00:13:17.300and how it puts us all at risk and i think she's right on that one probably not the good week to
00:13:22.620do the dreamers speech uh and then say you know it puts us all at risk because you um let dreamers
00:13:32.120in and gave citizenship to some dreamers and guess who one of them was that we just found out this
00:13:38.020week the guy who was trying to kill everybody in washington dc this week the guy who had plotted
00:13:45.460drones to fly over the ufc fight in washington dc and then let those drones go off blow up cause
00:13:54.560panic get everybody to funnel through the exits where you had snipers ready to shoot all of the0.99
00:14:01.040people as they're in this funnel in this shoot shoot them all like they're cattle you know i i0.95
00:14:08.460don't know and then storm the gates of the white house with yet another team that was thwarted this
00:14:13.480week and you know who the the guy who was it plotted the whole thing the leader was uh oh
00:14:19.120he was a dreamer so michelle you're right you're right it does put us at risk it does put us a
00:14:27.320little bit at risk read the room sweetheart um and then of course because it's juneteenth
00:14:34.800which i have celebrated of course every year of my life everybody has everybody has it's uh
00:14:42.920it's a very well-known holiday actually it's a texas holiday um but the obamas wanted to make
00:14:48.840sure that everybody was celebrating this texas holiday because they love texas you know what i
00:14:54.160mean whatever texas is doing you know the obamas are like we should do this everywhere this would
00:14:59.880not be the one that i would start with you know if i were the obamas and i'm like hey what does
00:15:04.960texas do that we should you know start doing around the rest of the country i wouldn't have
00:15:08.740started with juneteenth but okay but he just loves the founders he just loves them he is so
00:15:15.260passive aggressive listen to what he said about the founders informing our union the founders
00:15:21.460Others fell terribly short of the declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states
00:15:30.580to restrict the franchise to white men who own property.
00:15:37.840But in drafting a constitution and a bill of rights, they did have the foresight, the genius,
00:15:44.180to provide us with a framework that allows each generation to make our union more perfect.
01:03:37.840Those commitments are there, but I trust people's actions.
01:03:41.920So the way we set up the deal, given the president's directives, is if they say they will perform the things they will perform, then they get a lot of relief.
01:03:50.520If they don't, a lot of those things don't do those things, then they get nothing.
01:03:55.440In the United States, either way, Glenn, we're in a great position.
01:03:58.040They don't get one cent of American money regardless of how this deal takes place.
01:04:02.180They don't get any sanctions relief unless they perform, but we've got Straits of Hormuz open.
01:07:58.900It helps you get the night's rest that your body needs to function at its best with more energy and more clarity and better quality of life.
01:08:06.480If you're tired of being tired, it might be time to try Z-Factor.
01:08:09.900Start getting the sleep your body has been asking for.
01:12:47.000Documents also reveal how the lab leak hypothesis was treated inside the intelligence community.
01:12:54.460Analysts who leaned toward it faced pressure.
01:12:58.460Some were told, in effect, their careers depended on a lying with the preferred narrative.
01:13:02.560You stop saying that or you won't have a career in the intelligence community.
01:13:08.220Whistleblowers who came forward, they were marginalized or worse.
01:13:12.260May 2020, an assessment from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory concluded the conditions at Wuhan lab were consistent with an accidental release of a laboratory-modified coronavirus and gave equal weight to the lab origin possibility.
01:15:17.440I mean, honestly, I would push for the death penalty.1.00
01:15:22.320this is one of the worst crimes against humanity i know that's why the biolabs release came first1.00
01:15:30.120it established this house of cards that's all over the world not just in china then the covid
01:15:35.660documents pulled the card labeled wuhan and showed exactly how the whole thing collapsed on the world
01:15:41.320and millions of people died not from some random act of nature that nobody could have seen coming
01:15:46.520But from research that was funded in part with your money, conducted under conditions that American diplomats had already flagged as dangerous, then buried under layers of trust the experts, follow the science.
01:16:01.460An attack on me is an attack on science.0.97
01:16:04.420and now the woman that donald trump put into place to be able to uh run the entire intelligence
01:16:14.660community walks out on her last day and says here read it for yourself read it i'm asking you not
01:16:23.020only to read it i'm asking you to print these documents and save them because you know and i
01:16:29.120know that's going to happen nobody's going to jail powerful never pay for anything this big
01:16:35.900and they should look at the body count look at the economic destruction look at the loss of of
01:16:42.640years the shattered trust think of what has happened to our families this is the biggest
01:16:49.420crime in human history and the people responsible are going to retire to book deals and speaking
01:16:55.100circuits and the rest of us are still digging our lives out i understand that anger and i
01:17:01.660understand the disgust i share the disgust but sunlight is still the best disinfectant
01:17:10.060if god forbid we lose this election and i have to tell you because i have more to share on this
01:17:17.200i'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow i have much more to share on this tulsi gabbard just0.99
01:17:22.160open the blinds on her way out and somebody else will come in and close those blinds you have to
01:17:28.480print those documents and save them they're safe in multiple hands they have to be in they have to
01:17:34.020be in people's hands all across the country save those documents now she didn't have to do this
01:17:41.820she was leaving she could have kept her head down she could have collected her pension let the0.61
01:17:45.900machine keep grinding she could have written a book and made all kinds of money on the book
01:17:49.760you know we all would have went why didn't you tell us this now instead she decided to hand the
01:17:55.560american people the primary source documents that matters it matters because truth is always has a
01:18:01.660way of working even when justice is slow or incomplete it matters because the receipts are
01:18:07.040now public and the gaslighting is going to become harder it matters because the next time some
01:18:13.340official tells you, trust us. We'd never do anything reckless. You have the paper trail
01:18:18.320in your hand. Don't get this from mainstream media. Get the original documents.
01:18:28.700So what do you do with this? Like I said, get the original documents. First, you have to refuse to
01:18:33.980look away. Read the documents. Share the documents. Not opinions, not me, the documents. Stop letting
01:18:43.780legacy media and captured institutions frame the story for you and your family. Second, demand the
01:18:50.420rest of the truth. Full unredacted accounting of every dollar that went into risky pathogen
01:18:56.560research, every safety failure that was ignored, every law that was broken, every internal
01:19:03.200assessment that was buried or pressured. And we support ending gain-of-function research on
01:19:09.660potential pandemic pathogens, period. You have to be serious about resilience because the people
01:19:20.540who created this mess have proven they cannot be trusted to protect you from the next one.
01:19:25.680You have to build your own margin. You have to strengthen your own community. You have to grow
01:19:30.740your own food. You have to know your neighbors. You have to teach your children real history
01:19:36.380and critical thinking so they never again will outsource their mind to the experts
01:19:42.660who have conflicts of interest the size of a pandemic.
01:19:48.040And finally, this is the part that will separate despair from duty.
01:19:52.140Choose courage over cynicism. Cynicism says nothing will ever change, so why bother?
01:27:21.360And by the way, if you're just interested in a dystopian thriller for young adults, you and your family will love it.
01:27:26.620The first two chapters of the audio book are available right now at Torch at Torch250.com, Torch250.com or on the app if you're already a Torch member.
01:27:36.900And the book will come out with the audio book in a couple of weeks.
01:27:53.100We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours.
01:27:56.500That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream.
01:28:01.940All it takes is publicly available information, a forged signature, and some paperwork filed in the right place.
01:28:07.480Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it, you worked hard to build equity in, is actually yours.
01:28:15.720That's why I want you to know about Home Title Lock.
01:29:47.580the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
01:30:08.860i can't believe what i just heard i i mean i'm listening to jason give some of the headlines
01:30:18.700in for the insiders and uh we now have algae protesters we have protesters at the reflecting
01:30:28.860pool and cnn is talking about doing an investigation because apparently the new
01:30:37.260reflecting pool is killing algae i i not killing i don't even mental illness is rampant in this
01:30:47.980country it is crazy what is happening but let's let's not talk about that let's try to talk about
01:30:54.420something happy uh it's father's day weekend and i want to spend some time talking about fathers
01:30:58.440this hour but i want to start with the father of our country george washington uh an amazing guy
01:31:04.540And there is a great movie that is out called The Young Washington, and Young Washington is the first time that I have seen anybody do an accurate portrayal of George Washington growing up, what his life was like growing up, how he fought against, you know, he was not one of the elites.
01:31:27.960the trials that he went through and how he developed into this man of great character
01:31:33.920um and John Irwin is the filmmaker on this one he's a good friend of mine and he's really
01:31:40.020a visionary um and has been for a very long time um and they could have had John on but I really
01:31:46.220wanted you to meet the co-screenwriter because the guy who helped write this story uh is not
01:31:53.280from america uh he was he's i think he's from the netherlands and he emigrated to america fell in
01:32:00.120love with our story and has so wanted to write this story for so long uh and i wanted you to
01:32:05.820hear it from somebody who is you know didn't grow up here but found america and found our story and
01:32:13.620is now teaching it back to americans i'm going to talk to him here in just about 60 seconds first
01:32:18.800let me tell you about the burner launcher main thing um you know i worry about in situations
01:32:23.120where i have to defend myself or my family it's not the danger in front of me it's hesitation
01:32:27.820because the moment you start thinking what if i go too far what if i make a mistake
01:32:31.680am i ready for this the second you do that you lose you don't have that kind of time
01:32:36.720with a traditional firearm that split second of doubt is deadly but with a burner launcher you've
01:32:42.780got a powerful non-lethal option that takes the hesitation out of the equation it fires chemical
01:32:48.040irritant rounds or impact rounds with enough force to stop an attacker in his tracks giving
01:32:53.340you the space and safety you need without having to take a life it's legal in all 50 states there's
01:32:58.840no permits required and you know it's lightweight enough to carry everywhere the best part is
01:33:03.200knowing when that moment comes you won't be frozen in doubt you'll be ready decisive and able to
01:33:07.920protect the people you love you can't put a price on that right now burn is offering a hundred

01:33:29.360How are you, sir? I am well. Thank you so much. What a pleasure to be here.
01:33:34.400Oh, it's great to have you. I wanted to have you on because I really appreciate people who
01:33:41.080were not born into this found this fell in love and love it as much as i do so tell me your story
01:33:49.920about how you came upon you know young washington and what this meant to to write this movie which
01:33:56.240by the way is great and accurate thank you for that well thank you for those great compliments
01:34:02.680coming from you means a lot i love how you just framed it i found america i didn't exactly discover
01:34:08.080it. But I do feel that compared to a lot of my friends, some of them former friends in New York
01:34:14.820and Los Angeles, where I used to live, I do feel that I found the true appreciation for this place
01:34:22.100that many, many, many immigrants before me have done as well. I just, you know, coming here as
01:34:27.000a college student, I just quickly started to realize this place is different. The traditions
01:34:33.980are different the values the liberty and freedom the way people are the hospitality the obviously
01:34:40.560the majestic nature of the of the country itself just the vast beauty of it all but especially the
01:34:47.880people and their values that's glenn uh my wife always reminds me don't forget this story growing
01:34:53.420up in a very progressive household in a socialist country i always felt a little out of out of step
01:34:58.840out of sorts, but it was Alex P. Keaton, Michael J. Fox, in family ties, who helped me in the 1980s
01:35:07.720to think about America in a way that was very different from my family, from the people around
01:35:13.300me. He learned me that Ronald Reagan was not evil. In fact, that I agreed with these famous
01:35:18.460words, you know, I'm here from the government, I'm here to help you. I grew up with that as a
01:35:22.000philosophy of life. Suddenly, I realized, thanks to Michael J. Fox, that there was another way of
01:35:27.860looking at all of this and that free markets and free peoples is the way to go all these these
01:35:33.580basics that americans i think take for granted i learned it through and i bring that up because i
01:35:38.720really learned it through entertainment and i love that i ended up in a place where i get to write
01:35:43.480and work like you said with a visionary friend of to both of us like john erwin and then to be able
01:35:49.400to go back to the very very origin of the origin story if you will that was just a privilege and
01:35:55.480a blessing i can speak to more about that but i first wanted to share with you how how appreciative
01:36:00.060i am of this country of this place of people with voices like yourselves it's just you know
01:36:05.560it doesn't exist outside of this country and so don't take it for granted is my my advice to
01:36:11.360anyone listening maybe they don't when they're listening to you but it's still important i'm so
01:36:16.440glad that you're i'm so glad that you know you are on uh talking about this especially during the
01:36:22.260world cup i mean we're seeing this all over social media people coming from all over the world they're
01:36:27.160like this is not what the america i've been told it was by the press and they just love the country
01:36:33.700and it's so great it's helping us kind of have a uh you know a love affair with uh our country
01:36:41.060start a new love affair which is nice so tell me about tell me about young washington uh and
01:36:48.180what you hope people are going to get from this yes well when when john started talking to me
01:36:54.900um just for full disclosure my wife kelly and john erwin became good friends and started the
01:37:00.720wonder project that's this the production studio of this film along with angel yeah you know it
01:37:06.300and um so when kelly made the introduction and said john talk to my husband he loves american
01:37:13.040history, the way you do the founding. He knows a little bit about it. He's read some books and he
01:37:18.600loves this country like no one else. She says, I'm always the most patriotic person in any room,
01:37:24.160in most rooms anyway. And so John and I started to talk and we quickly realized that maybe to get
01:37:31.060people to appreciate not just the country and its values, but also the man who was at the heart of
01:37:36.420it all, as you've been explaining in recent weeks, which I truly appreciate, that we can get closer
01:37:42.060to him um you know one of his biographers joseph ellis said it can be very difficult to approach
01:37:47.900your father honestly like a father you know freud said it shakespeare showed us yeah it can be tough
01:37:53.540to see your father honestly and if you but if you start to make him human make him flesh and blood
01:37:59.660see his messy childhood the loss the tragedy the failures that he has to endure you know the tragedy
01:38:06.560again, it's maybe we can get closer to him, see him more clearly and even deepen our respect
01:38:13.220and appreciation. And that was really the purpose that John started this with. It was his idea.
01:38:17.840He got me and then later my co-writer, Tom Provost, to execute it with him. And of course,
01:38:22.720he then took it, directed it, produced it. As you know, he's a man who'll do everything.
01:38:28.100But it was really that vision of let's try to get as close as we can to young George.
01:38:33.080let's start to love him if you will truly care for him so that we can then understand him much
01:38:39.120better as he leads the revolution and becomes our first president so you know george washington is
01:38:44.600the only person that i cannot find anything bad on i mean and i've tried i've talked to the
01:38:49.760president of the american history section of the smithsonian and he said literally the worst thing
01:38:56.020we can find on George Washington is that his mother claimed in an article, an op-ed, as he
01:39:02.980was running for his second term, she didn't want him to run for a second term. So she wrote an op-ed
01:39:07.880about how you would just be horrified on the amount of money that this man spends on ice cream
01:39:14.360every month. That's the worst the Smithsonian can find on him, okay? And I can't find anything
01:39:21.880worse. Um, but the one thing that you, you have, and I wanted to know about the accuracy on this
01:39:27.080is cause I have always in knowing George Washington's childhood and the fact that his
01:39:31.180mother, you know, uh, he gave up going into the British Navy. He was actually on the ship and
01:39:38.820turned around because his mom was like, Oh, you can't leave me George. She was a, I've always
01:39:45.400felt a pain in the ass um yes but you have put her into this very sympathetic uh motherly role0.99
01:39:55.340how accurate is that yeah this goes to the important question the truth and accuracy of0.99
01:40:01.900a biopic like this right that's that's rooted in truth and history thankfully john found a great
01:40:08.160panel of historians they're they're out now talking about this movie and how they support it
01:40:11.980we all realized that of course there was a lot of creative license that we had to take to create
01:40:17.420the hero's journey right the dramatic arc that john is so good at and so there are things that
01:40:23.700have been altered and changed and shifted a bit both in the timeline and in the characters some
01:40:28.240of them are composite characters it's interesting we we had in you know writing this a few years
01:40:33.160back we had internal discussions about what to do with mary she was clearly an instrumental
01:40:38.500pivotal person in his life like and all of right all of us know and loved him and i and loved him
01:40:44.200correct yeah i don't mean i don't mean to say that you portrayed her inaccurately yeah i just0.93
01:40:49.320didn't see any of the pain in the ass kind of uh traits well it's funny you say that because0.99
01:40:55.240i think you're right historically speaking she was much more of a pain and pain in the ass kind0.99
01:40:59.480of mom yeah um i think for the screen we wanted her to also be sort of the the the supported and0.97
01:41:06.600And not least in her faith, because we try to leave George's faith sort of open-ended there because he is young and we don't know that much about his early views of faith and the Bible and God.
01:41:18.460We do know that she was a very devout Christian woman and an Anglican, of course.
01:41:23.820And so we try to have her be a source of sort of inspiration, biblical truth, sort of godly purpose in his life.
01:41:32.820And in order to do that, I think we did have to soften her a bit.
01:41:36.100So I very much appreciate the comment that could only come from a man who knows his history regarding George Washington a bit.
01:41:45.760So assuming that this is going to be a hit, is there a chance that we we see, you know, more George Washington movies, films or or even episodic?
01:41:58.520well having studied him and you've done this i'm well aware we we know there's there's many more
01:42:05.280movies or episodes just in his life let alone in the founding fathers as a as a group yes i've done
01:42:11.580a few you know screenings and q a's with john uh terrific to be on the stage with him he always
01:42:17.200gets the question right at the end of this movie so people know it ends in 1755 we're still a long
01:42:22.580way from the revolution yeah declaration of independence let alone his presidency john will
01:42:27.860always be asked when is the sequel coming are you working on it and john will grin and smile and say
01:42:32.640well we'll see how this does so we need everybody first to come show up right on independence day
01:42:37.300in the theaters with your popcorn it's made for the big big screen it is i do i do yeah thank you
01:42:43.400i i do think john would love to keep going on this this time in american history in part glenn i i do
01:42:49.760think there is a unifying power in these stories i really believe that this is not a left or right
01:42:55.220conservative, progressive. It doesn't really matter. This is a story for all of us. And that
01:42:59.400includes newcomers who are like me, who are blessed to be here, who chose to be here, who
01:43:03.480embrace the American ideals. And it includes perhaps people on the other side who don't feel
01:43:08.940as comfortable right now waving their flag, looking at what George Washington and many like him had to
01:43:14.620go through. And that goes all the way to the young men who liberated my own grandparents' hometown
01:43:20.840over in in little netherlands you know back in 1945 all these people had to suffer struggle
01:43:26.140sacrifice in order for us to have what we have and i think sharing this this story about young
01:43:32.260george can bring us together in that sense and that includes going to the movie theater with
01:43:37.440people you don't know you know sharing that space i think it's valuable so the movie releases on
01:43:43.780july 3rd i saw it as a screener on my computer and it was great at that size i can't imagine
01:43:50.460how good this is going to be in a movie theater it's really good it tells you the accurate i mean
01:43:56.180i gotta tell you when he was given the compass uh i own his compass i have his compass uh and so
01:44:04.960to see that moment on screen was absolutely incredible for me but the the way you've told
01:44:11.640the story about you know how he really lost and was not good when he was in charge at the beginning
01:44:19.480And really all the way through, he wasn't the best military mind, but it's an honest look at him and you will fall in love with him in the end.
01:44:28.360And you'll see his pain of growing up and what he went through and how nobody believed in him and how the class society rejected him because you're a nobody.
01:44:39.860And what he turned into is remarkable.
