00:08:03.120You know, the only people in America still capable of being scandalized by a gay Republican are the progressive filmmakers, I think.0.96

00:08:14.480Well, I got to tell you, he was gay.0.95
00:08:17.700No. No. Now, I guess the film's real, you know, argument is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy. Really? Really? Oh, okay. If hypocrisy is, you know, the story in the Capitol now, you know, you're going to need a bigger camera, young Turks, to get that one.0.98
00:08:45.840That building is 90% hypocrisy by volume.1.00
00:08:50.460Exposing a hypocrite in Congress is like coming out and saying,0.99
00:20:54.140LifeLock would be a really good idea to get.
00:20:57.140I've got to get into the illegal that beheaded the Iwo Jima Marine statue with a sledgehammer.1.00
00:21:05.540This guy, unbelievable, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, and takes a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima statue at Quantico and beheads one of the Marines.0.99

00:21:25.480give you another update uh ilan omar ilan omar she is um you know they there's a new name now0.98
00:21:33.880that the government is using federal prosecutors have given her a new name in a court filing on
00:21:41.420wednesday the u.s attorney referred to congresswoman ilan omar as ilan nurse syed elmi
00:21:48.840uh she's this this is really bad really really bad filing asked the judge to keep the search
00:21:58.920warrant for a washington home sealed but giving her the name this matters because
00:22:04.300of another name in 2009 she married somebody that everybody's been saying has been her brother
00:22:11.340um the critics have alleged that it was her brother the marriage was a path to a green card
00:22:16.840blah blah blah she has been saying no now a former federal immigration judge said if she
00:22:24.200has lived under an alias every form she has ever signed comes into question immigration
00:22:30.320nationalization passports uh her records in congress all of them all of them uh this means

00:24:23.380Watch it now at glennbeck.com slash Torch.
00:24:37.500welcome to the glenn beck program we have richard limb uh joining us he is the author of a new book
00:24:55.380called refusing a crown the the idea is what if the one thing that could unite us is the story
00:25:02.620of the one guy who said no to power wouldn't that be nice um george washington used to be
00:25:09.720the uniting figure in our country um when the progressives failed uh in the early 20th century
00:25:16.480and had to kind of go run and and and hide and then become liberals um one of the things they
00:25:22.160realized is people knew the constitution and the declaration of independence and they knew who
00:25:26.500george washington was and they knew that man's character and they knew that we have to take the
00:25:34.040dismantle those things we have to get people to not understand those things and i really believe
00:25:39.620richard is right on this if we could get people to understand the actual george washington the
00:25:45.120real man not the legend with the teeth and the cherry pie the real guy um and and see him for
00:25:53.300who he truly was. One of the greatest men to ever live and rule over a country or be a president or
00:26:03.880representative of a people. I think of all time. He's a remarkable man. Richard is here with us
00:26:10.120now. Hi, Richard. Hi, thanks for having me. You bet. So what is the one thing that you think
00:26:16.020people need to understand about George Washington that if we could just get this, perhaps we could
00:26:22.640actually, uh, unite. They need to understand the power that George Washington's story has
00:26:29.960for us. He's basically not even a man. He's a monument. He's somebody that, uh, is on paintings
00:26:36.920and on our dollar bills, but people don't realize, you know, the Genesis of this book for me was in
00:26:43.000China. I was on a family reunion and I was talking to a relative of mine. I'd never met him before.
00:26:49.680he spoke no english i spoke no mandarin i spoke no cantonese but my dad was translating for us
00:26:55.660and we were talking about current events and at the time it was the iraq war he was criticizing
00:27:00.680american foreign policy he didn't really like what we were doing but the conversation turned
00:27:06.200to history and he said with reverence and awe he said i admire george washington so much and he
00:27:13.180said that because for a man who lives under communist tyranny who lives in a society where
00:27:18.580You have one ruler. Unfortunately, now he's ruling for life, Xi Jinping. He understands how remarkable it is for somebody to give up power. Sometimes it takes somebody from outside the United States to really recognize how great our country is and how great our leader, our leader, our very first president was, George Washington. And I think that's a power that we need to remember. If we remember it, we can really influence people around the world.
00:27:48.580You know, I think there are two farewell addresses that if we would read and embrace, we could fix our country.
00:27:56.900One of them was Eisenhower's farewell address because it's dealing with everything that we're dealing with right now.
00:28:03.060And the other is George Washington's farewell address.
00:28:05.340I mean, he warned us about the two-party system.
00:28:07.820He's like, you're going to start just doing anything.
00:28:12.880these parties will do anything they can just to get elected and it's going to split us and that
00:28:17.200will be a real problem in the country. I'm paraphrasing him awfully here. But also religion,
00:28:26.400we cannot kick the underpinnings of our whole society out from underneath us. We have to be
00:28:33.200a moral and religious people. Absolutely. And so when Washington talks about factions,
00:28:40.020he's talking about parties, but he's also talking about special interest groups because he knows
00:28:45.220that these groups are going to seek advantage over others. And if you have a coalition of
00:28:51.260groups that are seeking advantage, they're not going to want equality. They're going to want
00:28:55.200what's best for them. And in a country based on equality, it's just not sustainable. He knew,
00:29:00.760that's why he talks so much about how Americans needed to think of themselves as Americans first,
00:29:05.700not as a member of your state or your tribe i think nowadays people try to convince us that
00:29:11.840we're a member of our race more than a member of this country and washington was against that
00:29:17.920because he knew in order for our country to survive in order to have true equality in this
00:29:22.240country we needed to think of ourselves as loyal to this country as a whole um i have quite a few
00:29:29.380artifacts from george washington and one of the artifacts is his pair of glasses that changed the
00:29:36.500course of our country stopped a revolution and a bloodshed uh in our own in our own congress the
00:29:44.680newberg conspiracy um can you explain tell that story and then explain
00:29:49.680what why did that one sentence that he said when he puts his glasses on
00:29:56.940why did that affect people so deeply because today that would mean nothing what was the difference
00:30:02.680you know that moment is so important it may be the most important event in american history that
00:30:08.360people don't know we take for granted the fact that we have civilian control of the military
00:30:14.140we take for granted that um we have uh you know people that rule the military that respect the
00:30:20.940rights of the people and we have regular elections all around the country you have coups happening i
00:30:26.700mean, there have been hundreds of coups that have happened in the last few decades. And in America,
00:30:31.180we don't have that. But at the very beginning, we could have had that. And there's a historian
00:30:35.700that says that the civilian control of the military, it's that trust is like glass. Once
00:30:41.180it's broken, it can never be fixed. And George Washington was there at the moment that the
00:30:47.420military was seriously considering disobeying members of Congress. And here's the thing,
00:30:52.020Those members of Congress, they were, you know, they were ineffective.
00:34:28.720Yeah, we have to live it out. And that will be a light that will shine. That's the whole city on the hill. And so I think that if we live up to that, if we have leaders that fight for that, the way you do, you know, that is fulfilling Washington's, that's fulfilling his vision. And I think he had such a vision. He only saw such a small part of our country's history. He only was there for the first few years of it.
00:34:56.220He knew, and there's actually a quote where he says he envisions a country with the praises of the most high, where you could hear it.
00:35:03.640And, you know, as fair as the garden of God, it was his first draft of his inaugural address.
00:35:08.980And I think when we as Americans live up to those values, we fulfill that vision.
00:35:14.320Richard Lim, Refusing a Crown is the name of the book.
00:35:18.020He's also the host of this American President podcast.
00:35:20.740He's the resident historian at PragerU.
00:35:23.080And Richard, you do so much good work. Thank you so much. Again, the name of the book is Refusing a Crown. If you don't know anything about George Washington, or you think you know everything about George Washington, read Richard Lim, Refusing a Crown. The time is perfect for this message. Richard, thank you so much. God bless.
00:35:47.520You know, when we encounter a human being in difficult circumstances, our first question should be, how much trouble is this person going to cause?
00:35:54.580Yeah, that's how society often discovers and discusses an unexpected pregnancy.
00:38:21.960Um, now the, the, the, we're experiencing something called black October and black October is, uh, is something that is just come out in the last 10 or 12 days. Most people don't know it, but, um, I explained it to you yesterday. It is a new AI problem.
00:38:41.300and ai is hacking into a lot of different things and and stealing information your information and
00:38:49.340it's it's out everywhere and we don't have it under control yet so yesterday when i explained
00:38:55.900this i gave you a digit defcon uh you know defcon one is you know the planes are already in the air
00:39:02.060and we're gonna we're in nuclear war um so i did one for digital because we need to know
00:39:07.980where we are, like Hugging Face, that was, I think, DEF CON 7. It's a warning. It's a new
00:39:14.480threat, but no damage really yet. Black October is 6. Widespread exposure, and your data has
00:39:21.840likely been stolen. So people were asking yesterday, they were writing in and saying,
00:39:26.460okay, so what do I do? Let me give you. You should do this today. Turn on all your automatic
00:39:32.460updates for your phone, computer, and browser. Can we post all this? I know the DEF CON list
00:39:37.580is posted i'm going to send this to you ricky let's see if we can post this use a different
00:39:42.160password for email and banking a password manager will make this as painless as possible
00:39:47.680turn on two-step login for email and bank an authenticator app beats a texted code
00:39:55.400um freeze your credit at equifax i didn't even know you could do this you call equifax experian
00:40:02.660and TransUnion. It's free. You can call them and say, hey, I think we're under attack and I want
00:40:09.820to freeze my credit. And then you can unfreeze it the minute you need a loan and it's free. So do
00:40:16.320that. Turn on bank and card alerts for every single purchase. Any text, any email, any call
00:40:25.620you didn't expect that is asking you to click or pay or verify, hang up, turn your card over
00:40:32.740and call that number. Do not engage. Do not listen to it. Turn your card over. Hang up on
00:40:41.160the people that are saying that and call them yourself. Do not use the number they're giving
00:40:45.940you uh i mean because the next the next step is is defcon 5 uh where you check your bank cards
00:40:54.200weekly you check your bank statements weekly change your password anywhere um set a family
00:41:02.160code so a fake it's me and i'm in trouble call can be tested the step up from that is when stores

00:42:22.100Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.
00:42:25.060The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.
00:42:29.440The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.
00:42:31.360And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

00:44:20.820so the federalist has come out they went down the list of every major democrat running for
00:44:31.420the senate and asked one question will you try to pack the supreme court will you add
00:44:38.820seats to the supreme court if you win uh the the answers are really very disturbing
00:44:49.620We'll get into that here in just a second.
00:44:51.520First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:44:54.240One of the most dangerous things in the world is, you know, somebody who is absolutely certain
00:44:58.920they know what they're doing when they don't have a clue.
00:45:02.360Somebody who looks at you in the eye, shakes your hand, and they're like, I got everything
01:07:51.740yeah we just wanted to see how easy it is for a completely fake firm to be taken seriously by
01:07:59.500the national press i could have told you that it's really easy you feed them what they want
01:08:04.940to hear and they'll run it it's not it's this isn't rocket science now this is the second one
01:08:12.820in august an outfit called median strategies admitted the same thing this is not a science
01:08:20.480project, this is not a harmless prank. I want you to look at what happened in Wisconsin in July.
01:08:26.300A Wedgwood poll put a socialist candidate for governor, Francesca Hong, nearly 30 points ahead
01:08:33.760of Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. Well, Crowley saw numbers like that and he dropped out.
01:08:40.180And Hong told her supporters she had the momentum and said, come on, chip in. And the money came
01:08:47.080pouring in. The party pulled Crowley back in. Guess what? He won the nomination by a few
01:08:55.420thousand votes. A guy nearly walked away from the governor's race over a number that somebody else
01:09:03.540made up. Donors wrote checks on numbers that didn't exist. Reporters built stories on it. The
01:09:11.500poll that measured the race didn't measure the race the poll wasn't measuring anything it moved
01:09:19.400the race and the angriest people this week are democrats former kamala harris advisor0.97
01:09:27.760called the fakers scumbags and you know what he's right the con doesn't care what party you're in0.97
01:09:35.880it only cares that you believe it then there are the real polls kittle talked to uh john mclaughlin0.99
01:09:45.640who has polled for donald trump since 2016 mclaughlin remember is the 2020 washington
01:09:51.040post poll that had trump down 17 in wisconsin one week out 17 trump called him at six in the
01:09:59.680morning and says what the hell is this mclaughlin said it's a bad poll bad on purpose
01:10:04.940It was cold. There was COVID. And the only hope that election day voters would look at a 17 point hole and stay home. That was their only hope. Wisconsin was decided by less than a point. Iowa 2024. Des Moines Register had Harris up by three. Just days before the election. Trump won Iowa by 13.
01:10:27.840This year, New York's 17th district, Emerson poll, taken by text message in a district that is one-fifth Jewish, they took it during a high holiday when the observant Jews put their phones away.
01:10:44.580now Brendan Carr the chairman of the FCC said broadcasters the fake polls this is suppression
01:10:54.900this is this is fake you're going to pay for this okay so so now is the government getting
01:11:03.540involved in I mean this is horrible polls have missed in both directions over the years
01:11:09.480but the big misses keep leaning the same way every time election after election and that's not an
01:11:16.240accident that's a habit you fit if you keep missing big in one direction you fix it you
01:11:23.320figure out how to fix it that's what you're supposed to do but they don't ever seem to fix
01:11:27.620that so now here we are a fake poll gets treated like a real one and a real one behaves like a fake
01:11:35.340one, and you're supposed to sort it out at the kitchen table. I swear to you, it feels like
01:11:41.280absolutely everything is a PSYOP now. Everything feels like a PSYOP. The polls, the headlines,
01:11:46.980the viral videos that turn out to be from a different country or a different year or a0.95
01:11:53.860computer-generated crap, the outrage that shows up every single morning like the newspaper used to.
01:12:01.260you know i remember i think it was kfi they still may use this in los angeles0.96
01:12:10.220kfi los angeles information is power and that was true the person who knew things
01:12:20.500could help you or could win the nut the doctor that knew things you didn't know the lawyer who
01:12:28.460knew what you didn't know. The reporter, the banker, the expert. Information was power. They
01:12:34.840had the facts. You had to come to them. I'm telling you, that world is over. It is over
01:12:41.240for a couple of reasons. First, information is a dime a dozen now. The phone in your pocket,
01:12:48.300AI, it'll tell you almost anything you ever wanted to know within seconds, and it's a damn0.99
01:12:53.460expert on it. I got to go to a lawyer. Why? Why? Because I doubt AI. Okay. That's why you go to a0.98
01:13:03.420lawyer. That's why you call somebody who was an expert because you doubt that AI really knows,
01:13:08.600but that's going to change. And then all that expert class, that's all gone. That's gone.
01:13:15.080Your grandkids are never going to know a world where an answer wasn't available right now and
01:13:21.820free. When something is everywhere, it stops being power. Nobody gets rich selling air.
01:13:31.840Air is life. Yeah, but air is everywhere, so I can't get rich on air.
01:13:39.000Second reason, my gosh, so much of what out there is poisoned information.
01:13:44.640it's manufactured it's made up it's not designed to inform you or empower you it's made to steer
01:13:52.960you and the machine that hands you the answers are reading the same poisoned well0.63
01:14:00.060if the new york times can swallow 15 fake poles0.94
01:41:39.960The families weren't just growing tomatoes.
01:41:41.580They were helping ease the pressure on the food supply while we were fighting, you know, the Second World War.
01:41:47.160And today, there's got to be something said for knowing where your food comes from, you know, and helping that food supply here in America.
01:41:56.320Good Ranchers delivers high-quality American-raised meat right to your door.
01:42:00.180You get the convenience of home delivery, the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting American producers, and for a limited time, you can get $50 off your first Good Ranchers order.

Get $50 off anything on their site, plus you let them know that I sent you, and well, it helps us and it helps you.
01:43:49.260we had many economists in 2024 saying next year recession recession's coming next year meaning
01:43:58.1202025 then donald trump becomes president that was before donald trump was becoming president so that
01:44:03.160wasn't an anti-trump thing i think they just thought that was going to happen then what what
01:44:07.780donald trump comes in slashes regulations lots of pro-business policies supporting domestic energy
01:44:14.020production and the recession doesn't happen i think that's a credit to his economic policies
01:44:18.560It is. The fact that we haven't had it in 2026 is another credit to it. But we are there's all of these parts of the economy that are house of cards, just as we discussed recently here with AI. And I think that instability is the tipping point.
01:44:34.860People just feel a little bit more nervous about how things are. The whole thing could come tumbling down easily. And that's what this is. It's all destabilizing in Europe and in America.
