The Glenn Beck Program - Supreme Court REJECTS Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Ban, but the Fight Is NOT Over ｜ Guests： Franklin Camargo & Rob Buchert ｜ 6⧸30⧸26

00:00:00.000 Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can put you or them in danger.

00:00:06.140 It means being prepared for all the situations, even those situations where deadly force is not needed.

00:00:11.860 In fact, it's a real problem.

00:00:13.380 There are more of those than you think.

00:00:14.820 And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody.

00:00:22.160 And I'm not in all situations, but they can go bad fast.

00:00:27.380 There is a tool for this.

00:00:28.360 It's the burner launcher.

00:00:29.460 It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson.

00:00:35.700 It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required, and it can be used by all age groups over 18.

00:00:42.900 My kids carry them in their backpacks.

00:00:45.260 You'll be confident that you are prepared to defend yourself against potential threats.

00:00:49.560 Go to Berna.com slash Glenn.

00:00:51.900 Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.

00:01:25.460 Glenn Beck is on

00:01:27.460 on the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program

00:01:52.300 Well, hello, America.

00:01:54.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:56.780 We are glad that you're here a lot on our plate today.

00:02:00.900 We are going to find out if the federal government in SCOTUS is going to allow birthright citizenship.

00:02:06.920 And I got a lot to say on that.

00:02:08.220 Also, men and women's sports.

00:02:10.180 That's the other case that is being decided today.

00:02:12.620 There is so much going on, including yesterday, striking down the big state.

00:02:20.340 Quite honestly, that's how it appears to me.

00:02:23.440 The president has the right to fire people that work in the administration.

00:02:26.960 What a concept.

00:02:28.920 We'll talk about that a little later on and show you how this is an undoing of Woodrow Wilson.

00:02:34.500 Quite honestly, there is a lot going on.

00:02:36.980 We have made great, great progress.

00:02:38.880 There's a lot going on that is, oh, dare I say it, the fundamental transformation of America.

00:02:44.500 Now, things could go horribly today.

00:02:47.280 We don't know, but we'll see.

00:02:49.420 But we'll bring that to you.

00:02:51.000 Also, the part one of the story of the writing of the Declaration of Independence happens today and so much more.

00:02:57.980 We begin with the bubbles in schools in Texas.

00:03:01.940 Oh, my gosh. Lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my.

00:03:05.220 Wait until you see how the left is freaking out and what this actually means.

00:03:09.720 We'll give that to you here in 60 seconds.

00:04:09.560 all righty then oh my gosh there is so much to go over today let me let me start with what's

00:04:16.640 happening in texas because um uh we then we got to get into the scotus and it is a wild ride for

00:04:22.780 the rest of the show because the scotus case is going to be announced uh in an hour one of them

00:04:27.340 is going to be announced in an hour and then uh probably in 90 minutes from now will the second

00:04:31.320 case uh will be announced and these are big ones big ones but let me start here if you turn on cnn

00:04:37.920 or the BBC or the Guardian or PBS, NBC, any of them, honestly.

00:04:42.120 You'd think Texas had just crowned Jesus King of Texas

00:04:46.620 and ordered every public school child to genuflect before a Bible on their teacher's desk.

00:04:53.100 The headlines scream,

00:04:56.100 Texas State Board of Education votes to require millions of students to study Bible stories.

00:05:02.000 Oh my, lions and tigers and bears.

00:05:05.200 Bible stories become required reading for Texas schools,

00:05:09.360 sparking a row about separation of church and state,

00:05:12.600 which doesn't exist, but I digress.

00:05:15.000 Texas makes Bible passages required reading

00:05:17.600 for millions of public school students.

00:05:20.460 Oh, wow.

00:05:23.300 Maybe they'll spend less time on what part

00:05:25.880 you're not supposed to put your part

00:05:28.560 into the backside of somebody else's part.

00:05:31.620 You know what I'm talking about?

00:05:32.580 maybe they'll spend less time on that anyway critics call it unconstitutional inappropriate

00:05:40.140 i love that one inappropriate you know i think you've lost the license on the word inappropriate

00:05:47.920 i do i do when it comes to school you've got the dancing drag queens i don't think you know

00:05:53.660 what inappropriate means religious favoritism and part of a dark conservative plot to infuse

00:06:00.620 and I'm quoting, infuse Christian teachings into American classrooms. The hysteria. Oh my gosh.

00:06:10.160 Now let me tell you the truth, because the truth is not that, okay? The Texas State Board of

00:06:15.920 Education, Republican-controlled, yes, nine to five vote, that's one of the perks of living in Texas,

00:06:20.860 I guess, approved a required reading list for English and literature classes across K through

00:06:27.320 12. And yes, they do include specific Bible passages and stories as literature, right alongside

00:06:34.140 with Charles Dickens' Great Expectations and other classics. Example, there's a picture book version

00:06:41.060 of David and Goliath for younger kids. Sections from the book of Exodus for fifth graders. The

00:06:46.740 Shepherd's Psalm for seventh graders. The parable of the prodigal son and the Beatitudes. Not the

00:06:52.340 Beatitudes, where we're taught to love one another, lock your children up.

00:07:00.740 Now, this list doesn't take effect until the 2030-2031 school year.

00:07:05.480 By the way, I just want to say, because I know some of the things that are going on with the school board in 2030.

00:07:14.100 And Texas, you're going to be a very, very great place to educate your school in 2030.

00:07:20.580 But more on that much later.

00:07:23.920 Now, there is no mandate to put a physical Bible in every classroom.

00:07:27.640 There's no statewide requirement for devotional prayer or forced religious exercises.

00:07:33.540 Most districts have already declined those opt-ins anyway.

00:07:37.240 What is mandatory are the Ten Commandments posters in classrooms, but that is a separate policy entirely.

00:07:44.220 This one is just academic.

00:07:46.140 It's literacy and historic study.

00:07:50.720 Now, let me ask you, how do you understand anything without understanding the Bible?

00:07:55.680 I mean, at least knowing it exists.

00:07:58.800 The Supreme Court back in 1963, in the very case that banned devotional Bible reading and school-sponsored prayer,

00:08:07.640 said that objective study of the Bible for its literary and historic qualities is perfectly constitutional when presented as part of a secular education program.

00:08:18.320 So this doesn't violate the Supreme Court. It doesn't violate the Constitution at all.

00:08:26.180 Justice Clark wrote plainly, quote, it certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.

00:08:35.520 What historic and literary qualities?

00:08:39.760 Oh, don't tempt me because I got a list.

00:08:41.940 nothing we have said here indicates that such study of the bible or religion when presented

00:08:49.040 objectively as a part of secular program of education may not be effectively affected

00:08:54.620 consistently with the first amendment end quote okay so texas is not becoming a theocracy

00:09:00.600 they are walking through a door the supreme court left wide open and that our founders

00:09:06.980 walk through with conviction. Let me take you back to 1782. This is something that is currently on

00:09:12.840 tour from my collection and the collection of American Journey Experience with the White House.

00:09:18.720 They've put together a truck with Prager University, AJE, and currently on the road is my Aiken Bible.

00:09:24.640 There are only, I think, seven of these left, and our library happens to have three of them

00:09:29.800 because they are very important. Revolutionary War is still raging. Importing Bibles from Britain

00:09:35.620 is the only way.

00:09:37.220 We cannot print a Bible

00:09:38.740 while we're under the crown.

00:09:40.360 And it's nearly impossible to get them.

00:09:42.660 So a Philadelphia printer

00:09:43.940 named Robert Aiken,

00:09:45.680 he's a devout man.

00:09:46.760 He's been working on the first

00:09:47.900 complete English Bible

00:09:49.600 ever printed in America.

00:09:51.720 He petitions the Continental Congress

00:09:53.560 because he wants to produce it,

00:09:55.120 quote,

00:09:55.360 for the use of schools.

00:10:00.240 Congress appoints a committee,

00:10:02.760 including the founding fathers.

00:10:04.220 They have the congressional chaplains examine it for accuracy, everything else.

00:10:08.760 Then on September 12th, 1782, the Congress of the United States passes this resolution,

00:10:18.200 quoting, resolved that the United States in Congress assemble, highly approve the pious

00:10:24.560 and laudable undertaking of Mr. Akin as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an

00:10:30.940 instance of the progress of arts in this country and being satisfied from the above report of care

00:10:36.980 and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to inhabitants

00:10:42.100 of the United States. That Bible is the Aiken Bible. It is the only Bible printed with a

00:10:50.120 congressional endorsement in it on page one. And they did it because they needed it for religious

00:10:56.900 study, and dare I say it again, schools. So one of the very first things that our representatives

00:11:05.080 did, they violated the constitution. They were the ones who wrote it. While they're fighting for

00:11:11.080 their lives and their liberty was to put the Bible in the hands of American families and schools.

00:11:15.240 That's not Christian nationalism. That's the actual founding character of our republic, okay?

00:11:22.100 For most of American history,

00:11:23.820 the Bible was not controversial in schools.

00:11:26.120 It was central.

00:11:27.760 Go look up the McGuffey readers. 1.00

00:11:30.780 So right now, homeschooling moms are like,

00:11:33.460 he's gonna talk about the McGuffey.

00:11:35.360 Oh, talk sexy to me, man.

00:11:37.600 The McGuffey readers,

00:11:38.540 these are the textbooks that educated generations,

00:11:42.180 were saturated with scripture and biblical morality, okay?

00:11:45.740 Children learn to read from the Bible.

00:11:48.960 They learn character from the Bible.

00:11:50.940 that was normal what happened in the 1960s that was the radical break not texas 2026

00:11:57.120 all right so why does any of this matter because texas is right you cannot understand western

00:12:06.140 civilization without the bible period try to read shakespeare without it you won't understand it

00:12:13.000 he weaves in over a thousand biblical allusions salt of the earth apple of my eye feet of clay

00:12:20.300 a thorn in the flesh, out of the mouths of babes, the powers that be. All of these come from the

00:12:26.660 Bible. Macbeth is drenched in the language of the fall and guilty conscience. Merchant of Venice

00:12:33.300 is a meditation on mercy versus strict justice. The Tempest is a story of forgiveness and

00:12:38.760 redemption. Remove the Bible and half of Shakespeare goes dark. Try reading Milton's

00:12:45.160 paradise loss what the hell is that oh just genesis retold in an epic poem that's what it is

00:12:52.080 try to understand dante's divine comedy it's the architecture of hell what's hell purgatory

00:12:58.520 paradise oh i don't know i didn't me read bible you cannot understand pilgrim's progress

00:13:07.660 Moby Dick, The Scarlet Letter,

00:13:10.920 Dostoevsky's novels of sin and redemption,

00:13:13.540 any of this, any of it, you can't understand it.

00:13:17.140 You can't understand the art that defines the West.

00:13:21.160 Michelangelo, who's that guy in the middle?

00:13:24.680 I don't know.

00:13:25.640 Who's he reaching out to touch?

00:13:27.520 I don't know.

00:13:29.460 The creation to the last judgment,

00:13:32.020 Leonardo's last supper, what does that mean?

00:13:33.900 The cathedrals, the stained glass,

00:13:35.500 the piatas you can't understand handel's messiah or bach beethoven none of it you can't understand

00:13:46.040 the laws that shaped us the 10 commandments are woven into the western legal codes the idea that

00:13:52.380 every human being has inherent dignity because they're made in the image of god that's not a

00:13:57.500 secular invention it's biblical you don't understand the declaration of independence

00:14:02.820 if you don't understand the Bible.

00:14:05.760 You don't understand the abolition movement

00:14:08.120 in Britain and America.

00:14:09.520 It was driven by men and women who read their Bibles

00:14:12.380 and could not reconcile slavery

00:14:14.880 with love thy neighbor as yourself.

00:14:19.260 Lincoln, the second inaugural address.

00:14:21.680 What is that other than one giant biblical meditation

00:14:25.220 on sin and judgment and mercy?

00:14:28.820 Martin Luther King.

00:14:29.800 was he talking about i don't know let justice roll down like the waters that comes from amos

00:14:37.520 his whole dream is rooted in scripture trying to understand western civilization the art

00:14:45.140 the literature the music its laws its ethics the very language without the bible is trying

00:14:52.360 to understand the middle east without the quran it is the foundational text remove it and the

00:14:57.740 culture becomes incoherent the morals drift the art loses meaning the law loses anchor and most

00:15:04.460 importantly and don't the progressives know it the people lose their story

00:15:09.620 that's what's been happening for 60 years in american education

00:15:14.840 we have raised generations who are strangers in their own civilization they don't know the book

00:15:20.700 that built the house they live in and we wonder why everything feels so untethered why our culture

00:15:26.440 is fracturing. Young people are anxious and adrift because they don't know where we came from.

00:15:33.240 They don't know why any of us or how any of this was built. Texas is not forcing anyone to believe.

00:15:40.900 They are doing what they must do, simply refusing to continue the lie that the Bible is irrelevant

00:15:47.220 to who we are. You don't have to like it, but that's the truth. They are giving children back

00:15:55.480 a piece of their inheritance

00:15:57.040 so you can actually understand

00:15:59.380 the world that they inherited.

00:16:03.060 Media's in full panic

00:16:04.580 because they know what happens

00:16:05.660 when people rediscover the source

00:16:07.420 and rediscover their story.

00:16:09.180 All their work is gone.

00:16:11.540 The same people who lecture us

00:16:12.760 about diversity and inclusion

00:16:14.220 lose their minds

00:16:15.800 when the most influential book

00:16:17.920 in the history of the world

00:16:19.900 is treated with just basic cultural respect.

00:16:25.480 But let me leave you this, the good news.

00:16:27.560 Bible has outlasted every empire, every ideology, every attempt to bury it.

00:16:31.540 It survived Hitler.

00:16:33.500 It survived far worse than a few hysterical headlines.

00:16:37.200 And the American people, especially parents, are waking up.

00:16:41.060 You don't need to turn our churches into schools.

00:16:43.080 I mean, our schools into churches.

00:16:44.720 And I don't want to do that.

00:16:46.400 We just need to stop pretending our civilization sprang from nowhere.

00:16:51.180 Wait a minute.

00:16:51.740 I was a tadpole, then a monkey, and now me?

00:16:57.720 Our civilization just appeared from nowhere, from pure secular reason alone?

00:17:04.440 No, none of that is true.

00:17:09.140 Give your children the tools to read their own story.

00:17:13.880 Texas just took one careful, legal, long overdue step in the right direction,

00:17:18.700 and the hysteria will fade.

00:17:20.420 But the truth will remain.

00:17:23.600 Back in a minute.

00:17:26.940 Sponsor this half hour is Rapid Radios.

00:17:29.440 Ever tried to set up a new printer?

00:17:31.280 I tell you, it's like applying for a top secret security clearance.

00:17:35.480 First you download the app, then you create a new account,

00:17:37.880 then you verify your email, then it needs a software update.

00:17:41.620 Somehow 45 minutes later, you still haven't printed a damn thing.

00:17:45.200 Technology is supposed to make our lives easier,

00:17:46.860 and I think it's giving me a new hobby.

00:17:49.880 That's why one of the things I like about rapid radios,

00:20:53.640 It was definitely an EO

00:21:55.800 you know chance at uh constitutional law surviving um we are we are making really great

00:22:05.380 inroads we'll see what happens today two very important supreme court cases are coming up

00:22:12.800 that'll be next hour and what happened with the constitution or the declaration of independence

00:22:17.740 how is it actually written the story the real story is so much better than the little tale

00:22:21.640 You might have told yourself that also the left versus the Declaration of Independence.

00:22:29.980 Wilson and the big state and SCOTUS will tell you what happened yesterday.

00:22:34.800 First, let me tell you about chapter.

00:22:36.600 The hardest part of making a decision isn't usually the decision itself.

00:22:39.860 It's usually figuring out which of the thousand voices both in your head and around you that you should actually listen to.

00:22:45.840 Every commercial says, we're the very best.

00:22:48.660 Every website, five-star reviews.

00:22:50.460 Everybody has an opinion.

00:22:52.780 After a while, you're not really any closer to an answer.

00:22:55.080 You're just more confused than when you started.

00:22:56.700 And that's especially true when it comes to Medicare.

00:22:59.300 There's so many plans, so many options, and so many little details that can affect your coverage that it's easy to feel overwhelmed.

00:23:05.680 In fact, it's designed that way.

00:23:07.720 That's why I'm glad there's chapter.

00:23:09.120 They don't just try to push you towards one particular insurance company.

00:23:12.580 They start with you, your doctors, your prescriptions, your needs, your budget.

00:23:16.700 And then they help you find the plan that actually fits your life.

00:23:19.320 Because when you're making an important decision, the last thing you need is more noise.

00:23:23.620 You need somebody who can help you make sense of all of it.

00:23:26.220 So give them a call.

00:23:26.800 The call is free.

00:23:27.600 Just dial pound 250.

00:23:28.700 Say the keyword chapter.

00:23:29.820 That's pound 250, keyword chapter.

00:23:32.520 I love these people.

00:23:33.420 I trust them because this company was started because their parents were ripped off by people who were scamming the system.

00:23:39.900 Please get the real deal.

00:23:41.700 They will help you.

00:23:42.920 Pound 250, keyword chapter.

00:26:05.960 at the State Fair.

00:26:07.500 and I'm going to be teaching the Declaration of Independence.

00:26:10.340 Speaking of that, let me tell you what happened yesterday with the Supreme Court.

00:26:13.700 Supreme Court yesterday made a few major rules expanding presidential authority over independent regulators

00:26:20.760 while protecting a few constitutional limits, including requiring warrants for broad location data sweeps by law enforcement.

00:26:29.960 Whoa, warrants. That's the Fourth Amendment.

00:26:32.480 um you know the the agencies and the global pressure is constantly pushing for more control

00:26:38.980 and nuanced compromises in our founding liberties it's got to stop it's absolutely has to stop

00:26:45.260 this is the living battle for sovereignty and independence and it's playing out right now and

00:26:52.360 refusing to let the pressure dilute the fundamental structures that protect

00:26:57.500 American liberty is our job. It's the same spirit that always has defined this country when we're

00:27:03.920 at our best. We've always had our vices. We've always had foreign and domestic problems. And it

00:27:09.460 always urges us to soften the core, to add just a few more conditions, make independence a little

00:27:14.580 more palatable to the world or to the factions inside the gates. But independence was never

00:27:21.000 meant to be negotiated down into something comfortable. Never. Freedom is uncomfortable.

00:27:27.500 Freedom was meant to be declared and defended without apology or amendment.

00:27:33.320 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both fulfilled their goal of living to see the 50th anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence.

00:27:40.820 They both died on the same day, July 4th, 1826.

00:27:45.620 John Adams was 90, Jefferson was 83.

00:27:49.340 Both of them had failing health.

00:27:50.860 Jefferson and Adams each declined tons of invitations to attend the July 4th celebrations

00:27:57.040 that year because they were both really sick. And Adams sent a letter to be read aloud at the 50th

00:28:01.940 Independence Day celebration in his local town of Quincy, Mass. And he wrote that the declaration,

00:28:07.020 and if I may, I want to quote, he said, the declaration is a memorable epic in the annals

00:28:14.560 of human race destined in future history to form the brightest or the blackest page according to

00:28:21.580 the use or abuse of those political institutions by which they shall in time to come be shaped by

00:28:29.480 the human mind. It's remarkable how the founders understood human nature and what could happen to

00:28:36.260 the United States. They knew it. Less than a century after Adams and Jefferson dies, the most

00:28:43.440 serious attempt to undermine the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution came from our

00:28:47.240 28th president, Woodrow Wilson. I hate that guy. He wrote, and if I may quote, some citizens of

00:28:57.340 this country have never gotten beyond the Declaration of Independence, as if that's a bad

00:29:01.820 thing. On July 4th, 1876, when Wilson was a 19-year-old college student, he wrote in his diary,

00:29:09.760 Quote, 100 years ago, America conquered England in an unequal struggle, and this year she glories over it.

00:29:17.340 How much happier she would be now if she had England's form of government instead of the miserable delusion of the republic.

00:29:24.400 A republic too founded upon the notion of abstract liberty.

00:29:28.360 I venture to say this country will never celebrate another centennial as a republic.

00:29:32.540 Oh, please make it to 2076, please.

00:29:37.460 We made it to 1976.

00:29:42.020 In 1911, a year before he was elected president,

00:29:46.140 Wilson said in a speech, and again, I quote,

00:29:48.620 I do not find the problems of 1911 solved

00:29:51.120 in the Declaration of Independence.

00:29:52.980 It's the object of government to make those adjustments

00:29:55.580 of life that will put every man in a position

00:29:57.500 to claim his normal rights as a living human being.

00:30:00.820 See what he does here?

00:30:01.560 He completely inverts the declaration.

00:30:04.040 He says, you don't have inherent rights until government puts you in a position to claim them.

00:30:10.260 That is the heart of the disease called progressivism, which is now known as democratic socialism.

00:30:17.360 In a later speech, Wilson said, and again, I quote,

00:30:22.980 we are not bound to adhere to the doctrines held by the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

00:30:28.000 We are as free as they were to make and unmake governments.

00:30:31.700 We're not here to worship men or a document.

00:30:34.640 Every 4th of July should be a time for examining our standards, our purpose, for determining afresh what principles, what forms of power we think most likely to affect our safety and happiness.

00:30:44.420 That and that alone is the obligation of the Declaration that it lays upon us.

00:30:50.360 So at the opposite end of the spectrum from Woodrow Wilson's disdain for the Declaration, Lincoln loved it.

00:30:57.780 And Lincoln pointed the nation back to the declaration as its mission statement.

00:31:02.140 Unlike Wilson, who recommended leaving out the preamble, Lincoln considered it the most vital part.

00:31:09.420 To Lincoln, the self-evident truths were universal and timeless.

00:31:13.760 He wrote that these truths are, quote,

00:31:17.300 applicable to all men at all times, that today and in all coming days,

00:31:24.340 it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling block to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and

00:31:30.020 oppression. He gave a speech in 1861 shortly after he was first elected president. He said, quote,

00:31:35.720 I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied by the

00:31:40.280 Declaration of Independence. I've often inquired of myself what great principle or idea it was that

00:31:46.480 kept the Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies

00:31:51.860 from the motherland it was the sentiment of the declaration which gave liberty not alone to the

00:31:57.900 people of this country but i hope the world for all future time in his gettysburg address which is

00:32:04.140 brilliant and it's a renewal of the declaration he says that this nation under god shall have a

00:32:10.380 new birth of freedom and the government of the people by the people for the people shall not

00:32:14.560 perish from this earth. We can't assume that this radical idea of freedom will always be embraced

00:32:22.660 by Americans because we're losing it now. We're seeing it slip by. The Declaration's principles

00:32:28.320 have to continually be defended and rediscovered. And it's not alarmist. It's not a quaint history

00:32:36.080 lesson. It's reality. It's the reality right now. The fundamental principles of the Declaration are

00:32:41.700 under attack from the left. They want you to forget about it, which makes it so important

00:32:47.820 that you learn it. Shortly before his death in 1826, 90-year-old John Adams asked to recommend

00:32:55.540 a toast that could be given in his honor on July 4th. He didn't hesitate. He suggested just this,

00:33:03.200 independence forever. Small group of visitors silently glanced at each other for a moment

00:33:09.220 before somebody asked Adams if he'd like to add anything else,

00:33:11.760 and he said, no, not a word.

00:33:19.260 That's the spirit we need today.

00:33:22.640 The recent court rulings and the ongoing defense of religious liberty

00:33:27.920 and the executive authority can show how we still push back overreach

00:33:33.520 without fatal compromise.

00:33:35.080 But the deeper the war is, the one against the timeless truths of the Declaration itself.

00:33:42.280 It is a deep, deep war.

00:33:44.800 Choose truth over the inversions of the modern left.

00:33:48.740 Stand firm.

00:33:50.220 Feed hope daily.

00:33:52.200 Reject the idols and the laws.

00:33:54.820 Independence forever.

00:33:57.680 Not a word more.

00:34:00.820 Back in a minute.

00:34:01.760 it feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days i mean

00:34:09.540 you probably heard about all that by now there's a lot of commercials pretty much running around

00:34:13.120 the clock uh these results can be dramatic uh but for a lot of people you know giving themselves a

00:34:18.120 shot every week is suboptimal you know along with the potential side effects it's not something

00:34:23.120 that's really appealing to a lot of people it's one thing of course people do want to lose weight

00:34:28.360 But, you know, do you really want to go that far?

00:34:31.360 Do you really want to use that?

00:34:32.340 Do you want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen?

00:34:34.960 Some people love that.

00:34:36.080 Some people are real needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say.

00:34:40.240 So the real question comes to you when you say, like, well, how, if I want to keep losing

00:34:44.740 weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight loss, would I

00:34:48.780 take a different approach?

00:34:49.780 And that's where Lean comes in.

00:34:50.900 Lean is a weight loss supplement developed by doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition for people

00:34:56.060 who feel stuck, especially those who have maybe 10 or more pounds to lose, can't seem to get past

00:35:01.920 that plateau. The ingredients in lean are designed to support healthy blood sugar levels, help your

00:35:07.360 body convert stored fat into usable energy, and reduce cravings so that you're not constantly

00:35:35.940 is American Financing. People love to give financial advice when they don't have to live

00:35:40.740 with the consequences. It's easy to do when it's somebody else's interest payments. But high interest

00:35:45.220 debt has a way of sticking around longer than anybody planned. And before you know it, you're

00:35:48.660 making payments every month without getting anywhere. That's why I want you to look into

00:35:52.260 the smart equity loan from American Financing. If you built up equity in your home, this could

00:35:56.640 give you a way to pay off those high interest credit cards without refinancing the low mortgage

00:36:01.000 rate you may have locked in a few years ago. Instead of starting your entire mortgage over,

00:36:05.940 you keep your loan and you use the equity that you have strategically. It's smarter. It's an

00:36:12.980 approach that could save you money. I mean, $830, I think, is the average amount of money people are

00:36:18.340 saving every month from this audience. You'll go back to making progress instead of just making

00:36:22.760 payments. No upfront fees to find out what you qualify for. Talk to a salary-based consultant

00:36:27.440 today, experts who are paid to help you save, not to sell you something you don't need.

00:36:53.040 If you believe the truth still matters, you're in the right place.

00:36:57.960 Glenn Beck will be right back.

00:37:18.340 immigration is not a suicide pact watch the brand new documentary the golden door from

00:37:27.940 ellis island to the white house july 1st on torch so elon musk has a political action committee he

00:37:36.000 called ameripac the other day their x account tweeted immigration without assimilation is

00:37:43.160 invasion. Well, that created a little debate, as you might imagine. I think Americans have

00:37:50.500 been conditioned to believe that it's impolite not to want absolutely everybody in the country.

00:37:56.100 And that's just stupid, honestly. I mean, I'm sorry, but dare I say you might be retarded.

00:38:02.060 You just don't let anybody into the country. That's not what this is about.

00:38:06.200 If your entire neighborhood was transformed by Somali flags and your local Kroger is now

00:38:12.520 suddenly full of women in hijabs and the call to prayer is playing on loud speakers but you're not

00:38:19.040 allowed to hear your church bells i mean i suppose you could celebrate that america is a melting pot

00:38:25.420 but uh let's not pretend it's the same as little italy it's not it's not that's not a melting pot

00:38:31.700 and i know that people like when we had little italy they didn't melt in but they were trying to

00:38:37.740 they were trying to and they eventually did this is going the other way they tried to pretend

00:38:43.480 they're melting in but they're actually going the other way they are building a sharia state

00:38:47.960 okay and the the other thing that we have adopted that is absolutely 100 wrong is that all cultures

00:38:54.700 are equal to one another no they're not if the culture that brought the united kingdom the rape

00:39:02.300 games, gangs, you know, if that's equal, then, hey, Kentucky, what a great addition for you,

00:39:12.120 huh? No. And if you disagree, it's because you have eyeballs that can see what happened in Europe,

00:39:19.680 not because you're a xenophobe, but because you can see the results.

00:39:25.340 We're so worried about looking good instead of actually being good. If it wasn't for the,

00:39:31.020 It wasn't good for the UK to fill the streets with lower classes of Pakistani men who leave young girls to fend for themselves, but then made the government look good somehow or another?

00:39:44.860 No.

00:39:46.620 Their own daughters need to be safe.

00:39:50.800 And that's all the people were saying over in England is, I want my daughter to be safe.

00:39:55.720 Isn't that compassion?

00:39:57.240 All it cost if ignoring that was 250 girls.

00:40:01.020 200, I'm sorry, 250,000 girls, a quarter of a million girls that we know of.

00:40:06.920 And I'm sorry, if you come from that culture, you either assimilate right now or you can't be here.

00:40:14.860 Get out immediately.

00:40:17.760 You know, it's not the same as like, I'm going to open up an Italian restaurant.

00:40:21.920 No, no.

00:40:23.360 You know, having spaghetti and raping a little girl is not the same.

00:40:28.300 It's not the same.

00:40:29.220 I can't believe I have to explain that, but apparently you do.

00:40:33.360 We're going to take you through immigration, what it's really all about, and what happens if you don't get it right.

00:40:40.060 And that is all happening tomorrow night.

00:40:42.360 It is tomorrow night, right?

00:40:43.320 Wednesday?

00:40:44.040 Tomorrow night, July 1st.

00:40:48.940 You can watch it live or immediately after the broadcast.

00:40:51.900 It will be posted.

00:40:53.160 But it's out tomorrow night, Torch 250, live from Washington, D.C.

00:40:59.220 the home of our 250th anniversary party.

00:41:02.520 It's called The Golden Door

00:41:04.000 from Ellis Island to the White House.

00:41:06.360 It is really good, really good.

00:41:09.640 I saw all of the elements the other day.

00:41:11.960 What was it, Sunday?

00:41:12.840 I think I watched all of them.

00:41:14.400 And I mean, my producers are so good.

00:41:18.300 Jason and Nathan and Bowie and Ricky and Nick

00:41:22.600 and all of the people who are off to the sides.

00:41:27.260 all the other people who are making it possible. This is such a great team that we're all on the

00:41:33.900 same page. We all believe in our country and we don't necessarily come at it from the same place.

00:41:44.960 right? And it's all of us coming together and them honestly making me look really good that

00:41:52.540 allows this documentary to go out. And it is one for your whole family. You are going to love.

00:41:57.260 It is tough.

00:41:59.380 It says some things that are controversial.

00:42:01.560 Get over it.

00:42:02.720 You may not agree.

00:42:04.040 Get over it.

00:42:05.280 I think you will, but some won't.

00:42:06.760 Some will absolutely say,

00:42:08.400 this is xenophobic hate mongering.

00:42:10.420 No, it's not.

00:42:11.340 No, it's not.

00:42:11.800 It's the truth.

00:42:13.360 And it's inspiring as well.

00:42:15.460 What we should be.

00:42:16.880 That's tomorrow night at eight o'clock.

00:42:29.340 Ricky, we are just a few minutes away from SCOTUS making a ruling on anchor baby citizenship.

00:42:36.580 What's your guess?

00:42:38.340 Yay or nay?

00:42:38.900 Does it stay or not?

00:42:40.280 It's going to be good.

00:42:41.060 There's no fence outside the Supreme Court like there was after the Roe v. Wade ruling.

00:42:46.340 So this means it's probably either conservatives are peaceful or John Roberts is going to find a way.

00:42:52.360 John Roberts is doing his thing, yeah.

00:42:53.740 yeah john roberts is going to do his thing we'll find out that and men and women's sports that's

00:43:00.080 decided next hour as well and the declaration of independence history lesson number one three-day

00:43:32.700 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast,

00:43:38.320 this is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,

00:43:50.620 And thanks for standing with us.

00:43:51.900 Now let's get to work.

00:43:53.100 Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.

00:43:56.640 We lock the doors, we install the cameras.

00:43:59.180 But there's another way that your home can be targeted,

00:44:01.140 and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.

00:44:04.100 It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like.

00:44:08.140 Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county,

00:44:10.940 they transfer ownership of your home into their name,

00:44:13.900 and then once all that happens,

00:44:15.820 they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under

00:44:20.180 you. The scary part is like, you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular

00:44:24.860 homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this. And the mortgage company isn't

00:44:29.100 looking for it either. That's why you need home title lock. They monitor your home's title and

00:44:34.040 alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact,

00:44:39.940 which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can

00:44:45.700 knock it out quickly. I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to

00:44:50.680 be able to protect your equity. I want you to be able to find out if you're already a victim of

00:44:54.240 this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it. The promo code is Blaze. Blaze is the

00:45:05.180 million-dollar triple lock protection, 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any

00:46:51.960 first what happened um in the um little versus uh hecox case from idaho in west virginia um

00:47:00.660 this was about banning men in women's sports it went in front of the supreme court they just

00:47:06.420 announced they said the states have a right to ban men in women's sports they are not they're

00:47:13.700 not making this a blanket for everybody they're saying the states get to decide that means uh

00:47:20.820 the 23 states i think that are already doing this you get to continue to ban men in women's sports

00:47:26.900 this is really good news if you believe that bad news for the left but again it's not a bank a

00:47:32.260 blanket it is again states get to decide uh okay so now we've got one more and it's coming out in

00:47:39.300 about a half an hour and that one is a big one we're going to give you all the coverage on that

00:47:43.540 in about 30 minutes as they announce it we'll try to give you the best analysis we can on it

00:47:49.160 they're going to announce uh the next ruling and that ruling is on anchor babies do you have

00:47:56.840 birthright citizenship or not this one i'm not expecting this one to go well but we will see

00:48:01.860 all of that coverage and part one of our three-part series on the actual signing of the

00:48:07.100 declaration of independence the real story we begin that in 60 seconds first burn a launcher

00:48:12.240 you got two seconds to react he's coming at you who you don't know but he's angry he's shouting

00:48:17.640 he doesn't stop when you tell him to stay back suddenly you've gone from thinking about whatever

00:48:21.720 it was that you were just thinking about to jeez am i going to get out of this safely you reach

00:48:26.140 for your burna you fire around and suddenly the person who is charging at you isn't charging at

00:48:30.800 you anymore he's on the ground giving you exactly what you need a chance to get out of there and get

00:48:35.880 to safety the burner launcher gives you a powerful less lethal option for defending yourself and the

00:48:40.940 people you love it fires kinetic and chemical irritant projectiles that can stop a threat from

00:48:45.580 60 feet away giving you the opportunity to create distance and get to safety it's legal in all 50

00:48:51.620 states requires no background check or you know permit to purchase it it is a trusted choice for

00:48:57.580 hundreds of thousands of americans who wanted another option for personal protection hope you

00:49:02.200 never need it but if you do you'll be glad you plan to head visit birna byrna.com find the right

00:49:06.600 launcher for your family that's birna.com okay let me take you to a room in philadelphia i want

00:49:17.240 you just to it's independence week and it is imperative that we learn what actually happening

00:49:26.220 happened in the summer of 1776. So I want to take you back there and I want you to leave everything

00:49:31.280 you think you know about our founders at the door. Leave the parade, leave the fireworks,

00:49:37.400 leave the fat, comfortable, settled feeling of a thing that already happened and turned out fine

00:49:43.860 because none of those men in that room knew it was going to turn out fine.

00:49:48.640 What happened in that room was not a celebration. It was the most frightened, most courageous act

00:49:55.420 grown men will ever make. You'll never read about something like this ever again. And we've buried

00:50:01.820 it under 150 years of bunting until we can't feel it anymore. We understood it maybe for the first

00:50:10.000 hundred years, and then it just started to go away. And I want you to feel it again. So start

00:50:13.980 with this. The war was already a year old. Did you know that? The war was already a year old. A year

00:50:22.040 blood had been spilled in lexington and concord back in april of 1775 men had already died on

00:50:27.920 bunker hill that june washington had taken command of the army and chased the british

00:50:32.800 out of boston there had already been a year of killing and because we have not changed at all

00:50:39.700 even though we were already engaged in it americans wanted to stop the war they were like

00:50:47.320 No, no, no, it's going to cost us too many people.

00:50:49.440 We don't want independence if it's going to cost us our kids, okay?

00:50:53.760 Nothing changes.

00:50:55.780 A year after their son's coming home in boxes, the majority of colonists still wanted to patch it up, still wanted to be Englishmen.

00:51:02.800 And I understand.

00:51:03.920 They still walked across the ocean at a king and thought, surely he's going to come to his senses.

00:51:08.980 He's going to protect us from his own corrupt ministers, right?

00:51:12.120 People think that now, when our government goes truly corrupt,

00:51:16.400 we still think, well, we used to, they're going to fix this.

00:51:19.900 Somebody's going to go to jail for this.

00:51:21.320 This is not really what's happening.

00:51:22.880 That's common.

00:51:24.300 That's what humans do.

00:51:26.080 And that's how badly they wanted to stay and stay at a war.

00:51:29.100 And the king knew it, and he spat on it.

00:51:31.900 The year before we wrote the Declaration of Independence,

00:51:35.260 this Congress had sent him what they called the Olive Branch Petition.

00:51:39.960 You ever heard of that?

00:51:41.820 I need you to understand the tone of that document

00:51:43.680 because it shatters the cartoon of the angry rebel, okay?

00:51:47.920 It was not a list of demands.

00:51:50.080 It was not, I want reparations.

00:51:52.280 It wasn't that.

00:51:53.060 It wasn't a threat.

00:51:54.060 It was a plea on their knees.

00:51:56.040 Please, we are still your loyal subjects.

00:51:58.700 We love you.

00:52:00.280 Stop the bloodshed and we're yours.

00:52:03.580 And they sent it across the ocean

00:52:05.320 with a man named Richard Penn.

00:52:06.720 He was a descendant of the founder of Pennsylvania.

00:52:09.840 And that name meant something.

00:52:11.780 And George III wouldn't even take the document into his hands.

00:52:15.220 He refused to touch it.

00:52:18.860 And before he'd even technically rejected it,

00:52:21.640 he stood up in front of Parliament and declared the whole of the colonies

00:52:24.700 an open and avowed rebellion.

00:52:26.920 Every man in that room in Philadelphia,

00:52:29.060 he declared a traitor, officially, by the name of the crown.

00:52:32.900 And then he kept going.

00:52:34.420 Because in December of 1775, Parliament passed,

00:52:37.720 and the king approved

00:52:39.580 the thing that just slammed the door

00:52:41.660 and threw the bolt.

00:52:42.760 It was a prohibitary act.

00:52:46.860 This is what it actually did.

00:52:48.960 Listen to this.

00:52:50.720 It banned all trade with the colonies.

00:52:53.820 He was going to strangle us to death.

00:52:56.180 It declared that every American ship

00:52:58.280 on the open sea forfeit.

00:53:00.200 Fair game.

00:53:01.420 You can take it.

00:53:02.320 It belonged to any open enemy.

00:53:04.180 and in the language of nations a blockade like this is not a policy it's an act of war

00:53:12.120 with one signature the king of england took three million of his own people

00:53:16.880 and threw them outside of his protection and said rape them take them he stopped being their king

00:53:23.840 and then he started being their hunter because he went shopping right after this he went to germany

00:53:30.020 and he looked for soldiers, Hessian soldiers.

00:53:33.220 He was looking for mercenaries.

00:53:34.920 They'd never set foot in America.

00:53:36.400 They had never a problem with America.

00:53:38.820 They'd never been here.

00:53:40.600 They were paid in gold to cross an ocean

00:53:42.220 and kill his own subjects out in their own fields.

00:53:46.700 When John Adams heard about this, he didn't rage.

00:53:50.240 He almost relaxed.

00:53:51.840 He said, well, now the die is cast

00:53:54.320 because the question had been answered by the king.

00:53:56.860 and right in the middle of this in january of 1776 a pamphlet hits the streets it was 47 pages if

00:54:05.380 you've never read it you should it's amazing it was made by a failed corset maker from england

00:54:10.640 who had been uh in america for barely a year and kind of been adopted almost as a son by

00:54:16.600 benjamin franklin his name was thomas pain and he called this pamphlet common sense and it was

00:54:22.200 common sense because he said, I'm saying the things out loud that everyone has been too frightened to

00:54:27.500 say, but the pulpits had not been too frightened to say it. All of these things had been said from

00:54:32.940 the pulpits over and over and over again for the last couple of decades. And he just comes out and

00:54:38.680 he says, it's absurd. How is this continent being ruled by an island? There's something rotten in

00:54:47.140 the very idea of a king and the time for asking about it is over and he sold a hundred thousand

00:54:54.060 copies in just a couple of months now imagine that that's three million people total man woman

00:54:58.320 child everybody do the math on that it was read aloud in taverns around campfires to men who

00:55:06.340 couldn't read it themselves and it was pain that put the match to the kindling and by the spring

00:55:12.040 of 1776 the ground under that congress had moved so understand what the question actually was when

00:55:21.680 the men actually sat down it was never should we rebel the king had already declared war they had

00:55:28.120 already named them traitors he'd already hired men to kill them the only question in that room was

00:55:38.120 whether 13 really jealous, squabbling, distrustful colonies

00:55:42.700 would have the nerve to stand up and say out loud

00:55:46.540 that which was already true.

00:55:51.820 To say it was to die.

00:55:57.000 You know, the word treason, I don't know,

00:56:00.020 it's like a debate club term now, treason.

00:56:02.860 What does it even mean?

00:56:03.780 Treason against the crown was punishment by death

00:56:06.900 and not a clean death.

00:56:08.000 You know how they killed William Wallace, right?

00:56:10.160 They tied a rope around his arms and his legs

00:56:13.800 and then tied a horse to each end of those ropes

00:56:16.160 and they drew and quartered him,

00:56:18.700 tore him apart in the square because he was a traitor.

00:56:22.360 The traditional sense of sentence was create horror.

00:56:30.780 So every man who signed his name to that declaration,

00:56:36.400 that was it.

00:56:37.260 He was a traitor.

00:56:38.000 He's signing his own death warrant, betting that an army of farmers could win before the king's men got to him.

00:56:46.460 And here's what we forget.

00:56:50.020 These were not men who had nothing to lose.

00:56:52.900 That's the lie that makes them safe and small.

00:56:56.940 John Hancock was the wealthiest man in New England.

00:57:00.000 There was already a bounty on his head.

00:57:02.400 The British wanted him personally to be drawn and quartered.

00:57:05.820 Benjamin Franklin was 70, the most famous American on earth.

00:57:11.140 That man could have lived out his days in comfort and glory anywhere.

00:57:14.820 He could have gone over to France easily.

00:57:16.580 They loved him in France.

00:57:19.360 And his own son, Benjamin Franklin's son, William,

00:57:23.080 was the royal governor of New Jersey, loyal to the crown,

00:57:27.500 about to be arrested and never truly speak to his father ever again.

00:57:31.520 Imagine that.

00:57:32.420 a revolution that ran a fault line

00:57:35.800 straight through the most famous family in America

00:57:38.360 these men had farms and fortunes

00:57:42.600 and businesses and libraries and wives

00:57:45.060 and children and grandchildren

00:57:46.740 every single one of them was about to wager all of it

00:57:49.620 the entire inheritance

00:57:51.340 on the longest odds on earth

00:57:54.380 so let me take you to June 7th

00:58:00.020 because June 7th, it begins.

00:58:03.060 I'll start there in 60 seconds.

00:58:07.200 First, our sponsor of this half hour is Relief Factor.

00:58:09.880 If human beings came with a warranty,

00:58:11.980 I have a feeling most of us would have avoided it years ago.

00:58:14.640 Your knees are covered for 40 years,

00:58:16.460 provided you don't do anything stupid.

00:58:18.660 Well, that ship has sailed.

00:58:20.460 We spend our lives climbing ladders, moving furniture,

00:58:22.680 playing sports, crawling under sinks,

00:58:24.260 doing things that, you know, all come with a,

00:58:26.380 you know, living a full life.

00:58:28.240 And then one day we're surprised

00:58:29.400 when something starts hurting.

00:58:30.600 Wow, why is my back hurt?

00:58:31.840 Oh, I don't know.

00:58:33.400 Good news is just because your body has a lot of miles on it

00:58:36.280 doesn't mean you have to accept the aches and pains

00:58:37.980 as the new normal.

00:58:38.900 That's one of the reasons I've talked about

00:58:44.060 designed to help reduce the inflammation that causes pain.

00:58:46.800 In fact, over a million people have tried Relief Factor

00:58:49.500 and two-thirds of them have gone on to order more.

00:59:23.080 A new Bill of Rights song is out at torch250.com.

00:59:27.840 with lesson plans for all ages so your family can learn how to defend our freedoms.

00:59:36.860 So on June 7th, we're in part one of our story of telling the signing of the Declaration of

00:59:42.780 Independence. I'm going to break it up into three parts. This time tomorrow, part two,

00:59:47.280 and then this time on Thursday, part three of the Declaration of Independence. So let me take

00:59:53.680 to June 7th. Richard Henry Lee, he's of Virginia. Virginia is a must-win state. It's one of the

01:00:01.180 reasons why Tom Jefferson was picked to write it, because Jefferson and the state of Virginia were

01:00:06.680 way ahead of everybody else on working on freedom. So Henry Lee of Virginia, he rises. He doesn't

01:00:13.260 hedge at all. He puts a motion on the floor plainly. He says, these united colonies are

01:00:17.840 and of right ought to be free and independent states absolved by all allegiance to the British

01:00:23.160 crown. I told you yesterday the first state to do this was just the month before, and it was Rhode

01:00:28.400 Island. John Adams stands up, and he seconds it instantly, and the room doesn't erupt. The room

01:00:34.620 does not cheer. The room goes silent and cold and scared because half of it still hoped.

01:00:44.380 Leading that half was a man that we really need to respect, not Boo. His name was John Dickinson.

01:00:50.820 He was in Pennsylvania.

01:00:52.800 The history books needed a villain,

01:00:54.420 so they cast him as the coward who just wouldn't sign,

01:00:57.240 but he wasn't anything like that.

01:00:59.340 Dickinson may have been the most genuinely principled man

01:01:02.360 in that room.

01:01:04.340 He looked at the 13 really disorganized colonies.

01:01:08.300 We didn't have a navy.

01:01:09.420 We had no treasury.

01:01:10.440 We didn't have any allies.

01:01:12.340 No army worth the name.

01:01:13.640 We were farmers.

01:01:15.140 And then he looked at the most powerful empire

01:01:17.020 the world had ever seen,

01:01:18.520 and he said,

01:01:18.880 these guys are going to get our kids killed for nothing.

01:01:23.240 And he wasn't wrong.

01:01:24.560 He wasn't wrong about the odds, at least.

01:01:26.960 He was only wrong about the men.

01:01:30.140 It took more courage to stand alone

01:01:32.040 against the rising tide of that room

01:01:33.920 than it did to ride it.

01:01:35.620 Remember that the next time somebody tells you

01:01:37.360 the brave thing and the popular thing

01:01:39.620 is the same thing.

01:01:40.500 It's not.

01:01:42.180 Now, here's the strategic genius,

01:01:44.500 the thing that really nobody appreciates.

01:01:47.560 It had to be unanimous.

01:01:50.060 Why?

01:01:51.200 Why not just let all the eager colonies go and leave the cautious ones behind?

01:01:56.440 Because a declaration that some colonies signed and others didn't was not a country.

01:02:01.720 It was a suicide note with a partial signature.

01:02:04.800 A half-united America would be picked apart one colony at a time and hung in pieces.

01:02:11.540 There was a deeper reason.

01:02:14.040 Across the ocean was France, and they were watching us.

01:02:17.120 The one power that could tip this war.

01:02:20.580 And France would not spend a single soldier or a single dime

01:02:24.460 betting on a house that was already split down the middle.

01:02:27.260 They were like, if you guys can't do that and come together on this,

01:02:29.920 one voice or no voice at all, total unity or total surrender,

01:02:34.680 there wasn't a third door.

01:02:37.240 So Congress did something quietly brilliant.

01:02:39.800 They didn't force the vote on June 7th and watch it fail.

01:02:42.620 they said you know what why don't we give it a month let's postpone this give it a month

01:02:48.820 to give the frightened delegates time to ride home take the temperature of the people and come back

01:02:54.260 with a permission permission to leap okay so they bought time and in that bought time they hedged

01:03:00.540 the most consequential bet in all of human history if if we are going to do this this is how they

01:03:07.060 reasoned. We better not be scrambling for words on the day we leap. We better have the document

01:03:12.840 already written, already polished, already to fire the instant the vote clears. So on June 11,

01:03:19.440 1776, they appointed five men to a committee. They said, you guys draft the declaration.

01:03:27.160 Put into words the thing on which the punishment is rope. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, who was

01:03:34.440 the engine of the whole revolution. Roger Sherman of Connecticut, he was a shoemaker turned statesman,

01:03:40.020 and Robert Livingston of New York. And they needed a fifth. And they decided the 33-year-old

01:03:46.760 redheaded lawyer from Virginia who had sat through nearly the entire session without saying a word,

01:03:53.340 a man most of them barely even knew, not a person in the room understood they had just made one of

01:04:00.980 the most important decisions in history in the history of human right the human race

01:04:05.500 hold jefferson and his mind in your mind for a second because that's exactly where the next

01:04:14.240 part of this story begins tomorrow and it is not the story you were told

01:04:19.720 tomorrow i'm going to tell you what happens when he gets into the room he's alone he does not want

01:04:29.000 to be there. He thinks this is just a document that anybody could write. He doesn't think this

01:04:37.500 is going to be something. He thinks he's just writing like a committee report and then they'll

01:04:42.440 come after that and they'll, and it caused a rift between him and almost all of the other founding

01:04:48.700 fathers for the rest of their lives. He barely got over what happened in the next few days.

01:04:56.440 So tomorrow I'm going to take you to that hot and sweaty room.

01:05:02.180 You know, as I was getting ready for this this week, I watched John Adams.

01:05:06.760 Remember that old HBO movie?

01:05:08.380 You should watch it again.

01:05:09.280 It is so good.

01:05:10.440 And I watched the scene where they are debating this and they're showing, you know, Thomas Jefferson going into the room and they missed so much.

01:05:18.080 One of the things they missed is they showed everybody in the room with just one little piece of paper.

01:05:23.320 than they were like fanning themselves.

01:05:26.700 Have you ever been to Philadelphia?

01:05:29.560 I know, it sucks, right?

01:05:31.000 Now imagine Philadelphia in the summer.

01:05:34.100 Have you ever been there in the summer?

01:05:36.360 It was kind of like it's going to be in Washington, D.C.

01:05:39.360 Washington, D.C., they wanted the capital to be in Philadelphia,

01:05:43.860 not in Washington, D.C.

01:05:46.620 Benjamin Franklin said,

01:05:47.840 let him have it the first year in Washington, D.C.

01:05:49.680 It'll come back because nobody wants to live in that swamp.

01:05:52.800 It's literally a swamp and horrible in the summer.

01:05:56.400 It's hot, it's humid, but so is Philadelphia.

01:05:59.140 These guys go in and the temperatures are like they are this week in Philadelphia,

01:06:04.200 except a lot like Europe, they didn't have air conditioning.

01:06:09.460 And not like Europe, they only wore wool.

01:06:15.960 Oh, and they all wore a big hat, like a wool cap, except it was called a wig.

01:06:21.980 And they also didn't have deodorant.

01:06:25.000 And they had to close all of the windows and doors.

01:06:29.140 And they sat in that room stinking and sweating for a month.

01:06:37.320 I mean, that's the part where I think I would have been.

01:06:40.740 I would have been like, guys, I can't do this.

01:06:42.980 I mean, the war and everything, I guess I'll go out to war and, you know, lose a leg or an arm or whatever.

01:06:48.160 But I can't sit in this room because you guys all stink to high.

01:06:51.980 tomorrow i'm going to take you into that really smelly stinky room and take you to thomas

01:06:58.160 jefferson and the words that he scribbles out and it is a story you have not heard before

01:07:04.280 that's tomorrow part two okay we get to the scotus decision uh on birthright citizenship

01:07:11.760 it's going to be announced here while we take a break and then i'll try to read it as fast as i

01:07:15.660 can and give you what I can on the other side of the break. This is a very big one. A very big one.

01:07:23.100 Birthright citizenship. Right or wrong, Supreme Court decides next. Some companies spend millions

01:07:28.540 of dollars trying to convince you that they share your values while others never have to convince

01:07:34.020 you at all because they actually live them. Anybody can say the right thing in a commercial.

01:07:38.900 The real question is, where does your money go after you pay the bill? That is one of the reasons

01:07:43.900 I've been telling you about Patriot Mobile.

01:07:45.340 They're America's only Christian conservative

01:07:47.140 wireless provider.

01:07:48.640 And the money they put down,

01:07:50.600 the money they make,

01:07:51.360 they put where their mouth is.

01:07:53.040 They have donated millions of dollars

01:07:54.740 to organizations that defend faith

01:07:56.540 and family and free speech

01:07:57.800 and the Second Amendment

01:07:58.620 and the sanctity of life

01:07:59.860 and the men and women

01:08:00.600 who serve our communities.

01:08:02.060 They are always there

01:08:03.160 when Mercury One needs to do a rescue.

01:08:05.740 They are also there

01:08:06.780 as we begin to put

01:08:08.220 our American History Museum together.

01:08:10.780 Patriot Mobile gives you all the access

01:08:12.640 to three major networks, okay?

01:08:14.700 So nationwide.

01:08:15.480 So you can keep coverage

01:08:16.460 on the exact network

01:08:19.260 that you depend on right now,

01:08:20.500 but knowing your bill

01:08:21.420 goes to support causes

01:08:22.520 that you actually believe in.

01:08:23.900 It's a pretty good combination.

01:08:48.960 immigration is not a suicide pact watch the brand new documentary the golden door from

01:09:16.640 ellis island to the white house july 1st on torch well that's not what the supreme court just ruled

01:09:27.060 citizenship apparently is a suicide pact uh supreme court just struck down donald trump's

01:09:34.820 executive order um barring uh birthright citizenship if you're born here in the united

01:09:41.140 States. This is a misreading of the 14th Amendment, but the Supreme Court has chosen. I bet you it

01:09:49.460 was led by John Roberts. Ricky, do you have anything on this yet? Still waiting. We'll give

01:09:55.380 it to you as soon as I know. Yeah, give it to me. Just because they ruled this way does not make

01:10:02.880 this reading correct. They're just leaving a distortion in on the reading of the 14th Amendment.

01:10:10.320 And it's one the people who drafted this

01:10:13.880 would never have recognized, never.

01:10:17.020 Let me take you back to why the 14th Amendment

01:10:19.220 exists in the first place, okay?

01:10:21.200 After the Civil War, the Democratic Party,

01:10:24.840 the Democrat Party had a terrorist arm

01:10:28.680 and it was started by the Democrats

01:10:31.300 and it was called the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan.

01:10:34.540 And they were waging a campaign.

01:10:36.700 They were murdering, they were lynching,

01:10:38.520 They were intimidating, not just black Americans, but any Americans who believe that black should be free.

01:10:44.880 And so a third of the lynchings happened to white people.

01:10:49.540 They were white Republicans, the party of Lincoln.

01:10:52.220 Anybody who stood with them were lynched, okay?

01:10:55.720 And they used every weapon at their disposal.

01:10:58.560 This is the Democrat Party used every weapon at their disposal.

01:11:02.040 They used poll taxes, so-called literacy tests with just absurd questions like, how many windows are in the White House?

01:11:12.180 I don't know how many.

01:11:13.360 You can't vote.

01:11:14.860 And then when that didn't work, just outright violence.

01:11:20.040 Because put the black man in its place.

01:11:24.120 And I said its place intentionally because that's the way the Democrats thought.

01:11:29.300 then they took citizenship and tried to twist it okay the slaves had not come here of their

01:11:36.720 own free will what a surprise they were taken from their homes they were put on ships and if

01:11:43.300 they survived they spent their lives as property it's why we don't have life liberty and property

01:11:51.120 we have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness because if thomas jefferson would have left it as

01:11:56.200 property, then you'd have slavery being property, and the South would never let it go because it's

01:12:03.380 in the founding documents, okay? So the racist South said, no, no. You know, the Blacks have

01:12:14.040 been freed, and they and their children, born on American soil, should have, they are citizens and

01:12:20.300 should have the right to vote. And then the racist Democrats in the South said no. So Congress had to

01:12:26.140 go back and pass yet another amendment, the 14th Amendment. And it was passed by the Republican

01:12:31.160 Congress, and it was the direct answer. All persons born or naturalized in the United States

01:12:37.860 and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens. That phrase, subject to the jurisdiction

01:12:45.600 thereof, that was there for a reason. Why? What does it mean? It meant to cover the people who

01:12:53.900 owed full allegiance to this country, not children of foreign diplomats, not members of invading

01:13:01.100 armies, which, by the way, are banned from this, and not people whose presence here was unlawful

01:13:07.460 or temporary. They are not under or subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

01:13:16.160 That's what the Supreme Court got wrong today. This amendment was targeted as a remedy for the

01:13:23.240 specific evil of slavery and the democratic south's refusal to accept its end it was never

01:13:29.820 written to commit to create automatic citizenship for children born to parents who enter the country

01:13:35.100 illegally or come here on tourist visas just to give birth like the chinese are that's suicide

01:13:41.400 it was never meant to turn our constitutional compassion after slavery into a magnet for

01:13:48.100 law breaking or a tool for demographic transformation without the consent of the

01:13:53.380 American people. It makes no sense to do that. Our own laws born of justice and mercy. That's

01:14:02.500 one of the best things we have going for us. People will say there's a new pullout. What's

01:14:06.760 the best thing about America? Number one is independence or freedom. Number two is the

01:14:11.180 people. Why? Because we're decent people. We want to be good people. And that want or need to be

01:14:20.820 good is being twisted against us once again. But if we were illiterate in the Bible, maybe we would

01:14:28.800 know because the Bible warns us about this kind of deception. In Isaiah, woe to them who call evil

01:14:35.000 good and good evil. Do you think that's happening right now? They put darkness for light and a light

01:14:41.760 for darkness. Jesus told his disciples, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. You can be a dove,

01:14:51.520 but you better be wise as a serpent. We are not called to be blind to evil. We are not called to

01:14:59.280 let our kindness and our constitution be used as a weapon against the rule of law and the sovereignty

01:15:06.200 of the country that offers that kindness to the world that's not compassion that's being played

01:15:13.180 for a fool while evil advances under the could of the under the cover of good intentions

01:15:19.320 the court stands with it

01:15:29.340 it stands with this distortion

01:15:31.820 that's too bad

01:15:39.020 it's a loss

01:15:42.960 however

01:15:43.740 that's

01:15:49.320 The text and the history remain unchanged.

01:15:54.700 And so the work now, oh God, I hate saying this,

01:15:57.340 falls to Congress and to the states and to the people.

01:16:01.920 See, what I'm not going to do is tell you,

01:16:04.140 we need to pack the court.

01:16:06.140 I'm not going to tell you.

01:16:07.060 I mean, I know John Roberts is worthless.

01:16:09.300 He is worthless.

01:16:11.460 But that's fine.

01:16:13.040 That's fine.

01:16:14.140 We don't get anywhere by talking about packing the courts 0.88

01:16:16.640 and violating the very system that we set up for justice.

01:16:20.620 I vehemently disagree with this.

01:16:22.460 They are wrong.

01:16:23.960 Okay, so let's pass legislation that restores the original meaning

01:16:27.800 to subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

01:16:32.320 Continue to secure the border.

01:16:36.720 And make that incentive go away.

01:16:41.400 Teach the real story of the 14th Amendment.

01:16:44.300 So, this next generation understands why it was written.

01:16:51.620 We have to remain doves, but wise as a serpent.

01:16:55.560 We must remain vigilant, and we must do.

01:17:04.120 America has corrected its course when principles were at stake, and we can do it again.

01:17:09.680 You have to speak the truth without apology.

01:17:12.520 Demand clarity.

01:17:13.480 don't go soft don't go dark don't grow weary speak the truth the republic is really worth the fight

01:17:27.000 so it matters what they did it slows things down but donald trump has already said doesn't matter

01:17:35.720 he hasn't been sitting there twiddling his thumb he's not surprised by this

01:17:39.560 i mean you and i both know when we got up this morning we heard this was coming up today

01:17:43.420 We knew, okay, we know exactly where that's going.

01:17:49.280 Donald Trump knew it too.

01:17:51.640 And you watch, there will be announcements, maybe even today, of a new effort.

01:17:57.600 But they struck down his executive order today with the Supreme Court.

01:18:03.860 So it is a victory for the left.

01:18:07.460 It is not constitutional.

01:18:09.740 In my opinion, it's not constitutional.

01:18:13.420 The jurisdiction thereof.

01:18:16.600 You can't just come.

01:18:18.320 This was talking about people who are already here,

01:18:21.780 already loyal to the country.

01:18:23.880 Everything was already here.

01:18:27.020 And it was only meant to be to stop.

01:18:31.000 Isn't it crazy?

01:18:32.320 When you really know American history

01:18:34.260 and you know the history of the parties,

01:18:37.220 it is crazy how they haven't changed from the beginning.

01:18:41.640 They really haven't changed.

01:18:42.680 Well, I can't say that. Republicans have changed. They used to be good. The Republicans, you know, during the 1800s, they stood on principle. And now I don't know what they stand for exactly. But I will tell you this. The Democrats are exactly the same as they were in the 1800s. Exactly. Antifa is the new Klan.

01:19:02.700 they'll deny it

01:19:05.020 they'll say we don't have anything to do with it

01:19:06.660 you know they do

01:19:07.400 they bail the people out

01:19:08.960 they make excuses for them

01:19:11.200 exactly like they did with the Klan

01:19:13.700 they didn't

01:19:14.700 the Democrats were like

01:19:16.200 the Klan, these are just outlaws

01:19:17.960 we don't know who they are

01:19:18.940 they're wearing masks

01:19:19.860 we don't know

01:19:20.280 it was started by them

01:19:21.660 they haven't changed at all

01:19:25.080 and they're doing everything they can

01:19:29.820 to

01:19:30.620 you know

01:19:32.740 Just like they were back in the 1800s,

01:19:35.880 they were doing everything they could to destroy the Union.

01:19:39.400 They didn't agree with it because they wanted it their way.

01:19:43.300 They wanted slaves, and they wanted it their way,

01:19:46.480 and nothing was going to convince them or change their hearts

01:19:49.560 that slavery was wrong.

01:19:52.740 And so what did they do?

01:19:53.920 They did every, after the war, after half a million plus people died.

01:19:58.320 10 times the amount that died in Vietnam.

01:20:07.020 After all those people died in the Civil War,

01:20:09.960 they still decided we're going to have it our way.

01:20:13.500 I don't care how we get it.

01:20:14.620 We'll do it our way.

01:20:15.720 Through intimidation, through terror tactics,

01:20:19.320 exactly what's happening today.

01:20:23.280 We won last time and we'll win this time.

01:20:26.640 But we just have to remain calm, be really, really wise, be very, very peaceful against people who are very, very violent.

01:20:38.560 Nothing will help if we decide to say, we're going to pack the Supreme Court.

01:20:44.500 We're going to get violent in the street.

01:20:46.280 We're not going to do that.

01:20:48.220 But that gets us nowhere.

01:20:49.760 In fact, we lose the republic if we do that.

01:20:52.640 We have to take the approach that Abraham Lincoln took,

01:20:56.040 which was strong, very strong.

01:20:59.160 But, you know, he was not popular because he said,

01:21:03.260 we've got to love our enemy.

01:21:05.940 He was following the dictates of Christ.

01:21:08.920 That's what we need to do.

01:21:10.920 But this is a bump in the road.

01:21:14.120 This is not the end.

01:21:15.220 This is the bump in a road.

01:21:17.440 And by the way, the Supreme Court ruled the right way

01:21:21.340 earlier this week on a couple of things, dismantling the deep state.

01:21:26.300 And just a few minutes ago, they also ruled that no men in women's sports 1.00

01:21:31.020 should your state decide.

01:21:34.320 So all in all, it's a good day.

01:21:36.240 This was a bad ruling.

01:21:37.640 Finding the right Father's Day gift, always a little complicated.

01:21:40.700 I mean, most dads, we don't know what we want.

01:21:44.760 And we won't tell you when you ask us.

01:21:47.180 So let me offer an amazing idea.

01:21:48.760 cookies really really good cookies as a recovering fat man i love cookies and kexy has the best

01:21:56.540 cookie ever made father's day cookie box is available right now with six gourmet cookies

01:22:01.640 baked fresh shipped anywhere in the country these are not the little dry grocery store cookies that

01:22:06.080 taste like somebody gave up halfway through the recipe these are serious they've got peanut butter

01:22:11.160 marshmallow cookie it's ridiculous warm peanut butter melted chocolate gooey marshmallow basically

01:22:26.600 for 15 off regular orders it's the father's day box get it right now keksi cookies have to order

01:22:33.020 by june 14th father's day keksi cookies k-e-k-s-i.com all right back in just a second let me tell you

01:22:40.060 about the international fellowship there's something encouraging about knowing that certain

01:22:44.020 friendships can stand the test of time. They survive changes in leadership, changes in culture,

01:22:48.840 and even times of great uncertainty because they weren't built on convenience in the first place.

01:22:55.620 They were built on shared convictions. And that's how I think about the relationship between the

01:22:59.540 United States and Israel. For generations, our two nations have been connected by a belief in

01:23:03.720 freedom, faith, and democracy. We come from the same Bible. We come from the same God. And we

01:23:09.740 inherit dignity, the dignity of every human being in the likeness of God. And the International

01:23:17.400 Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been a living manifestation of that relationship for

01:23:21.920 years now. They go into the Holy Land and provide love and care for those most in need. They live

01:23:27.640 out the message of Christ every day, helping countless people who need food and shelter.

01:23:32.800 As we celebrate our 250 years of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

01:23:37.180 turns to God in prayer asking for his wisdom

01:23:41.580 that would guide elected officials

01:23:43.260 and lead America and Israel to moral clarity and unity.

01:23:47.600 You can get right now a USA-Israel flag pin, wear it.

01:23:51.860 If you're not willing to wear that now

01:23:53.560 and you stand with the Jewish people,

01:23:55.440 and that doesn't mean you stand

01:23:56.600 with all the policies of Israel

01:23:57.860 or Benjamin Netanyahu or anything else.

01:23:59.320 Just you stand with the people

01:24:00.420 and the right for Israel to exist

01:24:03.260 so the Jews have a homeland.

01:24:04.700 And if you believe that, you have the courage to wear the pin

01:24:08.600 because it only gets harder from here.

01:24:10.500 Get your free flag pin at flagpinifcj.org.

01:24:20.460 Faith, family, a full workday.

01:24:24.260 That's not fascist.

01:24:25.980 That's just Tuesday.

01:24:27.940 More Glenn Beck, straight ahead.

01:24:34.700 A new Bill of Rights song is out at Torch250.com

01:24:58.080 with lesson plans for all ages

01:25:00.440 so your family can learn how to defend our freedoms.

01:25:04.700 so i made a list here during the break of the things the president can do and probably should

01:25:11.880 do immediately today uh strengthen border security interior enforcement visa restrictions

01:25:19.260 deportation priorities to reduce the number of births to non-citizens it doesn't change

01:25:25.500 citizenship but it addresses the incentives and speaking of that limit federal or state benefits

01:25:31.740 welfare, education access for citizen children or for recent undocumented immigrants subject

01:25:38.320 to constitutional limits, visa and immigration policy.

01:25:43.240 He can tighten the temporary visas, the H-1B, which I'd like him to do, but I don't think

01:25:48.120 he's going to, student and tourist visas, asylum rules, family-based immigration to

01:25:54.580 reduce eligible births, increase the removal of non-citizens before they have U.S.-born

01:26:00.140 children, because I have to tell you, if I were here and I found this ruling, honey, we got nine

01:26:06.140 months, make a baby, make a baby, make a baby, make a baby. Data tracking, improve the tracking

01:26:12.780 of immigration status for birth records through the states that issue birth certificates and

01:26:19.140 federal citizenship recognition follows constitutional rules. The states have limited

01:26:25.080 power over federal citizenship but they could require proof of parental status for certain

01:26:30.380 state benefits or driver's license etc etc but there are things that can be done none of them

01:26:35.920 is a fix um but the president needs to act on this and i i would imagine we're going to hear

01:26:42.640 soon from the president on this one because this is a big one and uh he has told us did he not

01:26:51.580 ricky or maybe he just said it someplace and i heard him say it um that he was not sitting around

01:26:57.620 on this there were other things that he was waiting for this to happen he knew that this

01:27:03.480 was going to happen uh and was prepared for it so we'll see what that means probably most likely

01:27:09.880 today and i would imagine fairly soon so all right we're going to talk a little bit about

01:27:16.140 immigration and why it is so important our our big special is wednesday 8 p.m only on torch if

01:27:29.000 special on wednesday one of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that can it can make you

01:27:40.580 nodding along still showing up but you're working a lot harder just to keep up and sometimes

01:27:45.800 you're guessing more than you'd like to admit and you're just hoping don't ask me anything because

01:27:50.740 i don't know what we're talking about anymore uh what stops a lot of people from doing anything

01:27:55.460 about it is not denial it's the process it's the doctor appointments the multiple visits the

01:28:00.400 adjustments the price tag that makes you go how what so people wait and you shouldn't have to

01:29:14.500 entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:29:23.760 Glenn Beck is on. You know, if you're a concerned American, there are really only two things that

01:29:32.600 are happening this week that people are talking about. One, what the Supreme Court did about an

01:29:37.040 hour ago or half an hour ago, where they overturned the president on birthright citizenship, letting

01:29:43.600 that's Stan. That's the suicide pact. The second thing is history. We're here on the Independence

01:29:50.760 Week. By the way, don't say happy July 4th or happy 4th of July. It's Independence Day.

01:29:55.880 Happy Independence Week. But if you're concerned about America, you know we have to learn our

01:30:02.200 history and you know we have to fix immigration. Well, that's what we're doing on Torch this week.

01:30:09.200 this Thursday or sorry this Wednesday at 8 p.m. we're going to be talking about immigration but

01:30:16.360 we're going to give you the history of it and show you and it's not going to be popular with

01:30:20.760 everybody. I call for an end a stop of all immigration right now until we can fix fix

01:30:27.660 this and figure this out. We have got to restore the truth about what immigration is for in a

01:30:33.680 country. It's you know we're never meant to be a hospital boy we have some stuff in this

01:30:38.660 in this documentary that almost made my head explode um but we're doing a live documentary

01:30:44.280 it's going to be happening from washington dc and new york uh that it will be tomorrow night

01:30:51.280 right yeah tomorrow night from washington dc at 8 p.m only on torch if you're not a member

01:30:57.080 join us at torch250.com that's torch250.com if you're already a member you'll get it you know

01:31:02.760 on your app or wherever you go to get all your torch uh stuff but it'll be live tomorrow 8 p.m

01:31:08.160 Eastern. Watch it with your family. It is a great history lesson and exactly what you need to know

01:31:14.860 about immigration so you can continue this debate. I think the president is probably going to be

01:31:20.160 speaking about immigration, I would guess, later today. Sooner rather than later, but maybe. Maybe

01:31:27.320 it'll be tomorrow. We'll see. But he's going to have a lot to say about this. And I want to continue

01:31:31.240 the conversation with a political commentator. He's from PragerU. His name is Franklin Carmago.

01:31:38.160 And he is an actual political refugee from Venezuela.

01:31:45.320 And an Oreo cookie changed his life.

01:31:49.840 Wait until you hear this story.

01:31:51.580 And I want to talk to him about immigration.

01:31:56.600 What is the point of immigration?

01:31:58.460 And what is the point of assimilating?

01:32:01.820 And I want to start also because he is from Venezuela.

01:32:04.100 I assume he has family there.

01:32:05.200 How are things in Venezuela?

01:32:06.380 We'll begin there in 60 seconds.

01:32:07.600 first let me tell you about my patriot supply one of the biggest mistakes we make confusing you know

01:32:11.700 normal with guaranteed for example the power has always been on so we assume that it's going to be

01:32:16.480 guaranteed no no no the grocery store is always stocked so it's guaranteed no water comes out of

01:32:22.040 the tap every morning gas station has fuel fuel so the trucks have to keep making their deliveries

01:32:26.960 it's all guaranteed and then something interrupts that routine a bad storm a prolonged power outage

01:32:32.180 local emergency things can change in a hurry preparedness is about respecting reality

01:32:38.220 life does not come with a guarantee my patriot supply has helped millions of americans become

01:32:44.500 a little more self-reliant with emergency food and water filtration backup power and other

01:32:48.460 preparedness essentials because when you're ready before something happens you don't have to panic

01:32:54.140 after it does right now celebrating america's 250th anniversary some of the biggest savings of

01:32:59.020 the year preparedness has never been about fear it's about freedom the freedom that comes from

01:33:03.060 knowing your family is going to be okay when things don't go according to plan so go to

01:33:06.580 prepare with glenn.com prepare with glenn.com take advantage of their independence day sale

01:33:11.600 prepare with glenn.com let me start with a sneak peek into this live documentary that is going to

01:33:21.860 air tomorrow on torch250.com. Listen. Now on the base of the Statue of Liberty

01:33:29.180 is a poem and it's called The New Colossus. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled

01:33:37.940 masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these the

01:33:45.180 homeless tempest toss to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. For more than a century,

01:33:52.700 Americans heard those lines as an invitation to the world's dreamers, the fighters,

01:33:58.080 the people who looked at tyranny and said, I'm going to go to a place where a man can rise,

01:34:02.640 where I can be who I was born to be. It was never intended to be a suicide pact.

01:34:10.020 And that's why I say this with zero apology.

01:34:14.200 Zero new immigration until we can get this right.

01:34:19.200 Because you can't understand immigration if you first don't understand its purpose.

01:34:24.400 Well, we're going to correct that.

01:34:25.420 From New York City, where it all started, we'll take a tour through history from some

01:34:29.820 of the historic sites that wrote the immigration story in our country.

01:34:34.700 And speaking of stories, I'm going to tell you the story of a young woman who stepped

01:34:38.100 off a boat from Scotland. One generation later, her child achieved something I can guarantee you

01:34:45.380 she could have never dreamt of. You think this kind of success happens in Somalia?

01:34:50.980 a true political refugee uh franklin you're from uh venezuela you left venezuela because

01:35:08.580 your family was under attack what does immigration to the united states mean to you

01:35:12.900 oh immigration is everything it saved my life but i also understand that for immigration to work

01:35:19.300 it needs to serve America. It needs to serve the American people. The comment I always get from

01:35:24.340 the left when I criticize illegal immigration, the current system, is that just because I'm an

01:35:30.060 immigrant, I'm supposed to support open borders. But the thing about immigration and what makes

01:35:36.180 immigration and has made immigration for so many years, for so many decades, good for America,

01:35:41.040 not anymore right now, of course, is that immigrants would assimilate to America and would

01:35:46.280 put America first. What does this mean? That your concern is America. So if my concern is America,

01:35:53.940 when I look at the immigration system right now, where it's no longer necessarily a beacon of

01:35:58.780 freedom or opportunity, but a beacon of free stuff and welfare state,

01:36:03.520 I'm concerned and I understand that we need to change this.

01:36:08.820 So first of all, you have family back in Venezuela, I'm sure. Is everybody okay after the big

01:36:13.600 earthquake? Yes, I have family. I have friends. Thankfully, they're okay. They were impacted by

01:36:19.340 it. I mean, they witnessed it. We're talking about the worst natural disaster in Venezuela

01:36:24.280 in over a century. Two earthquakes, one minute away from each other, 7.2, 7.5, very strong.

01:36:32.560 A spokesperson from the United Nations said that we could be talking about at least 10,000 dead

01:36:38.160 people is a real tragedy. The government is not the one to blame for a natural disaster.

01:36:44.680 But when Venezuela right now is the poorest country in Latin America, it's a story of

01:36:49.940 mismanagement. It's a story of corruption. The buildings have no infrastructure. The rescue

01:36:55.980 teams, Glenn, the rescue teams do not even have flashlights. When you look at that, of course,

01:37:01.720 you need to blame the government for this because the worst natural disaster in Venezuela

01:37:05.540 it's not just the earthquakes it's been socialism so you know venezuela people don't know this

01:37:13.160 venezuela back even as early as the 90s venezuela was the richest country in the hemisphere i think

01:37:21.540 outside of us um you guys have more oil uh than saudi arabia it was really a great country and

01:37:30.880 then the socialists took over and you know we've been debating that i've been watching this since

01:37:35.420 the 90s i've been on the air saying don't go socialist don't go socialist this is what's

01:37:39.920 going to happen next this is what's going to happen next and then it would all happen

01:37:42.440 and now you've had people eating zoo animals can you explain to people who think socialism is neat

01:37:49.000 why they should pay attention to venezuela venezuela is a great example not just because

01:37:56.780 it's actually close to the united states and you know uh we can find some uh similarities

01:38:01.920 but it's also because Venezuela is a story of a country that used to be wealthy

01:38:06.820 and it's also the story of a country with a lot of natural resources.

01:38:11.480 And it's also a story where Venezuelans, before I was born,

01:38:16.160 because when Chavez took power, I was only one year old, really,

01:38:19.440 Venezuelans said, you know what? We are a rich country.

01:38:22.680 We have a lot of oil. We are a successful nation.

01:38:26.360 We have our democracy, so we can try something different.

01:38:30.740 Maybe the role of the government is not to protect our individual rights.

01:38:34.880 Maybe the role of government is to make our life better in economic terms, free stuff,

01:38:40.420 free education, maybe wealthy people, business people, they are too greedy, too rich.

01:38:46.200 We need to go after them.

01:38:48.260 And people were warning, hey, look at Cuba.

01:38:51.120 Cuba right now is a poor government.

01:38:53.020 They tried socialism and they are escaping to Miami on rafts.

01:38:56.700 And Venezuelans said, nah, that is not going to happen to us.

01:39:00.240 Well, it happened. And now when I talk to young Americans, you find two type of leftist young

01:39:06.100 Americans. One type of socialist would say that the reason why Venezuela is poor is because of

01:39:11.680 the United States, the sanctions, they have that anti-American sentiment that they have learned

01:39:17.560 in schools. But you also find another type of socialist. And they would tell you, no, no, no,

01:39:22.040 no. We don't want to be like Venezuela. We don't want to implement their policies. We want to be

01:39:27.080 more like Norway. We want to be more like Sweden. What you find is that they are not promoting

01:39:31.640 free markets with some type of welfare state. No, they are promoting socialist policies that

01:39:37.480 were implemented in Venezuela. How did a country like Venezuela that had the fourth largest GDP

01:39:44.040 per capita in the 1950s, how did that country go from that to be a country where 90% of its

01:39:52.360 population is poor or extremely poor. Socialism, the government taking control of businesses,

01:39:59.580 expansion of the welfare state, government spending so much money because they promised

01:40:05.080 that your life was going to be great. The government was going to give you everything

01:40:08.480 and the results are there. They are clear. And that type of leftism exists in America.

01:40:15.760 I wish my disagreements with Democrats were just maybe slightly on immigration or some

01:40:22.300 other topics? No. When we look at Mamdani, we're talking about a Venezuelan type of leftism,

01:40:29.420 a Cuban type of leftism, someone who is quoting Marx on Twitter, someone who is promising

01:40:35.060 grocery stores, which, by the way, when you meet a Cuban, when you meet a Venezuelan,

01:40:41.180 ask him what was the most astonishing part of coming to the U.S. And I guarantee you that one

01:40:47.840 of the things they're going to mention are grocery stores, because when the government

01:40:51.740 takes control of factory stores, you only see empty shelves. So tell me about the story of the Oreo

01:40:57.680 cookie with your family. Yes. So the first time I came to the U.S. was on a family vacation.

01:41:03.220 Venezuela was already doing bad. My dad had some small businesses. They worked really hard

01:41:08.220 and we were able to come to the U.S. on a family vacation. We were the exception,

01:41:12.940 not the norm in Venezuela, not because we're working for the government, but because we're

01:41:16.760 working really hard. And I was six years old. I came to the United States on a family vacation.

01:41:21.340 again. We went to Orlando, Florida. And that trip changed my life entirely. I'm pretty sure that I'm

01:41:26.320 talking to you right now. And I introduced myself into politics because of this trip. And again,

01:41:31.380 I'm a six-year-old kid. I didn't know anything about politics. I didn't understand economics.

01:41:36.460 I didn't know the difference between capitalism and socialism. I haven't read Milton Friedman,

01:41:40.840 but I went to a grocery store. And why would that be impressive for a kid? Because I saw the variety

01:41:49.740 of cookies and i couldn't believe it and and and you know this story is funny but it's also

01:41:57.320 to me is is is very impactful because now that i'm of course older i understand that the difference

01:42:04.480 between a free society and an oppressed country the difference between communism socialism and

01:42:10.200 capitalism is so big that a kid can even witness that again i didn't know what gdp was i just saw

01:42:17.180 the variety of warriors. And I went, okay, they're doing something different here. I don't know what

01:42:21.980 they're doing, but they're doing something different and I like it. So you were accused

01:42:27.020 actually of terrorism. You're going to medical school and you're accused of terrorism. And that's

01:42:31.940 why you had to leave. They kicked you out of medical school and you had to get out because

01:42:36.740 the government's starting to come after you. What were they accusing you of? Yes, correct. So this

01:42:41.500 is the price for free education. When they tell you it's free, it's not actually free. We pay

01:42:45.720 through that with our taxes, with inflation, and also with a totalitarian regime. If the government

01:42:52.600 has the power to educate you, what do you think they're going to try to teach you? And what ideas

01:42:57.000 and opinions are they going to tolerate? That's the question we always need to ask.

01:43:01.160 In Venezuela, if you want to go to med school, you only have one option. You have to go to the

01:43:06.260 public system. You need to be taught and indoctrinated by the state, by the government.

01:43:11.740 So I had a debate with a professor. And by the way, long before that, I did a lot of political activism in Venezuela. I led peaceful protests. I gave speeches in different colleges, campuses about capitalism, social, individualism versus collectivism.

01:43:29.200 And I had a debate with a professor, you know, something normal that it should happen at a university. That's the place to debate ideas, to exchange opinions, ideologies. And of course, the professor didn't like it. They expelled me from college. My case went viral. It was even discussed in the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights.

01:43:50.000 And when the government held a press conference about my case, they said, yes, of course, we expelled Franklin.

01:43:58.760 But the reason why we did it is because he wanted to set our classrooms on fire.

01:44:03.080 He wanted to attack our students. He wanted to attack our professors.

01:44:07.240 He's a criminal that is being funded by foreign countries and foreign organizations.

01:44:12.660 And he's a threat to our schools.

01:44:15.380 So I have a cousin who went to prison for more than two years. Most of my friends that did political activism with me went to prison as well for political reasons. And I knew that was most likely my future and I could escape and I made it to the United States legally. And that is why I love this country so much.

01:44:39.220 Glenn, you are lucky that you were born here.

01:44:41.100 But I'm even luckier that even though I wasn't born here, I had the opportunity to come to this country and be free and speak out and not be in prison or tortured.

01:44:54.760 So that is why we really need to preserve the values that make this country great.

01:44:59.560 And we need to make sure that those who come here love this country as well.

01:45:03.360 so prager universe you know prager you and uh and donald trump and the administration are in

01:45:09.500 trouble um because of what they're trying to do uh to preserve the country with legal immigrants

01:46:50.560 10 seconds.

01:46:59.860 so franklin you came in the right way uh you applied for asylum you were heard and you have

01:47:10.740 actual asylum because you were actually being persecuted in venezuela and they were chasing

01:47:16.720 you accusing you of crimes that you didn't commit um right now the new york times has just criticized

01:47:22.720 Donald Trump for, um, providing refugees and new arrivals with educational materials about

01:47:30.720 America. Um, and part of those education materials come from, uh, PragerU, but it's all about

01:47:37.080 American history, our values, our civic culture, et cetera, et cetera. Um, did you get anything

01:47:43.000 when you came in to teach you about America? Was there any kind of, Hey, do you know about our

01:47:48.360 culture or anything? No, I didn't. I didn't. I had to do it on my own. And we should expect

01:47:54.860 immigrants to, of course, try to do it individually. But of course, the government

01:48:00.880 also needs to make sure that those immigrants who are coming into the country are going to

01:48:06.380 embrace American values. Otherwise, it would be a self-destructive act. And organizations like

01:48:12.020 PragerU are providing something very simple, an American flag, an icon, an icon and symbol of

01:48:17.520 freedom, a beautiful flag, a flag that they must respect, an Android tablet, a copy of the

01:48:23.580 Constitution, and a copy of what I think is the best political document ever written, the

01:48:28.020 Declaration of Independence. For immigration to work, America has to choose its immigrants. And

01:48:35.680 those immigrants need to embrace American values. They need to understand what made this country

01:48:40.960 great, why they chose America and not other countries. Why is that important? Why is that

01:48:46.760 necessary. It is necessary if we want to preserve America a great country. If you invite people who

01:48:53.280 do not believe in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, if you invite people who

01:48:58.820 do not believe in the idea of individualism or self-government, America is no longer going to

01:49:05.700 exist. So, of course, America has been a generous country, but you need to be generous to those who

01:49:11.180 going to embrace the values that made america great uh if we want to help people if we want

01:49:16.700 to be generous if we want to provide freedom to those who do not have it you also need to make

01:49:21.580 sure that those are going to be people who are going to be grateful uh and people who are going

01:49:26.940 to put america first whose allegiance is going to be to this new country that is the way to do it

01:49:33.500 otherwise you are committed thank you so much thank you for everything you do i really enjoy

01:49:40.140 watching you i've enjoyed every time we've met franklin uh carmago um he is um with prager you

01:50:18.080 The thing you buy to reduce risk to your business,

01:50:34.420 and not get the hold, and then you're on for five hours.

01:51:20.060 Today's SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship

01:51:22.800 just made our immigration special even more urgent.

01:51:26.420 Watch it tomorrow night live at 8 p.m. Eastern, lynnbeck.com.

01:51:32.600 the bill of rights has never been catchier sing along at torch 250.com

01:51:57.880 welcome to the glenbeck program the supreme court just ruled um against uh the president

01:52:06.840 in birthright citizenship um and it kind of feels like a kick in the gut today um let me just give

01:52:12.520 you what alito just uh what alito just said it was it was pretty pretty stark and he's and he's

01:52:18.480 absolutely right he was dissent on this he said in my judgment the court has made a mistake that

01:52:23.840 will seriously affect the country's future.

01:52:26.500 Suppose that a person's only connection to this country

01:52:29.080 is that he was born here to a mom who was present

01:52:31.500 just long enough to give birth

01:52:32.880 and then quickly return her to the native country.

01:52:35.940 Suppose that country is a strategic adversary

01:52:38.000 or enemy of the United States.

01:52:39.640 Basically, he's talking about what's going on

01:52:41.520 with birth tourism in China.

01:52:44.060 But anyway, suppose the child never visits

01:52:46.460 the United States while growing

01:52:48.020 and was inculcated with hatred for this country.

01:52:51.240 According to this court now,

01:52:52.460 that person is a citizen of the united states he can enter and leave the country as he pleases he

01:52:57.260 can travel the world in a united states passport even if he plots to harm this country he cannot

01:53:02.620 be deprived of his status as a citizen at least under the current precedent that's what we're so

01:53:09.280 worried about um we are worried deeply about um the enemies of our country we're not dealing

01:53:20.840 with normal circumstances.

01:53:26.340 We're not dealing with that at all.

01:53:32.200 This is a kick in the gut, but maybe not.

01:53:37.780 Maybe not.

01:53:41.660 I don't know how we're going to get around it,

01:53:43.420 because honestly, the way to do it is to go through Congress.

01:53:45.860 congress has no intention of helping save america for the love of peace oh i was born yesterday

01:53:54.260 yeah i still believe in congress um they are they're cowards uh they're weasels and um

01:54:03.100 you know there are many of them honestly there are lots of them now more than ever before

01:54:08.120 maybe in my lifetime um that actually respect and believe in the constitution

01:54:15.460 and declaration and really want to do the right thing but they are still not the power you know

01:54:20.780 as the left is arguing back and forth on uh on

01:54:27.460 on this split between between us between the declaration of independence and socialism

01:54:36.160 the the big split here and and it's funny because the the press tried to make the tea party

01:54:44.240 look like revolutionaries, look like we hated America. That's all they kept saying. The Tea

01:54:49.880 Party, they just hate America. They just hate the government. No, we don't. We don't. We're asking

01:54:54.860 for a reset to what our founding documents actually say. And that we were asking that we,

01:55:03.240 I don't know, respect those rules and those laws. And we said that it's the left that is the rebel.

01:55:09.060 It's the left that hates America, and now we're seeing it, and now the masks have come off,

01:55:14.560 and they've announced that they are socialists. They're democratic socialists, which is basically

01:55:18.580 common. We're talking about Cuba now. We're not even talking about Swedish socialism,

01:55:23.200 which is a lie. I told you I was going to say something today, but I ran out of time. I'll

01:55:26.880 have to try to get it in tomorrow, but the radicals are on the left. The ones who hate

01:55:38.120 america are on the left and maybe america will start to see that maybe democrats who have been

01:55:45.760 trying to believe that no no no we're not communists we haven't been taken over you know

01:55:51.640 chuck schumer is what is he pulling at now with democrats he's like at 40 what a surprise he's

01:55:58.700 jewish um you know he's been very effective for new york very effective as a senator um has done

01:56:05.180 a lot of stuff but you know because i think i think because he's jewish that's just that's no

01:56:10.400 longer gonna work and you're getting more and more radical on the left we need to save the republic

01:56:17.860 and the way to do that is to learn its history revere its history learn its documents you cannot

01:56:24.380 fight for rights you don't understand we we're putting our is it number four isn't it it's the

01:56:31.320 warrants and search for warrants. Number four from the Bill of Rights. That song is out. Do you have

01:56:38.480 a little bit of that song for kids? We're making this for families and it comes with a lesson plan

01:56:43.520 on what each of these bills, Bill of Rights mean. This is number four. Listen.

01:56:51.800 You have it?

01:57:01.320 Street light flickers, midnight air

01:57:06.100 Knock, knock, someone standing there

01:57:08.700 Mind if we just look around

01:57:11.240 Oh now, slow down

01:57:13.260 Cause there's a rule from way back when

01:57:15.660 Protecting women, children, men

01:57:18.260 Respecting space and property

01:57:20.560 From detectives who might just wanna lie

01:57:23.760 So if they wanna search your place

01:57:26.940 Hoping they create a case

01:57:29.520 There's something they've got to do

01:57:32.020 Before investigating you

01:57:33.900 Show me the warrants signed by court of law

01:57:37.100 Underscoring your profitable cause

01:57:39.760 No foraging, no we just thought

01:57:42.280 Number four protects my rights

01:57:44.580 Do it right or just leave me alone

01:57:46.400 So this is all about a warrant

01:57:49.020 Getting a warrant

01:57:50.280 And what they can search

01:57:51.540 And what they can spy on

01:57:53.200 And they can't

01:57:54.200 And it is something that we've tried to put together

01:57:57.360 so your kids can learn their rights

01:58:00.080 along with their responsibilities.

01:58:02.380 So please join us at Torch250.

01:58:05.140 You can get all of them.

01:58:06.240 We're up to number four now,

01:58:07.560 and we release a new one each week.

01:58:10.240 And it is vital.

01:58:12.060 We are at a critical place.

01:58:14.060 And actually, we're winning.

01:58:16.020 We're winning.

01:58:17.260 We really are.

01:58:18.500 But it could go either way quickly.

01:58:21.280 And I'll have more on this tomorrow

01:58:23.620 because I've just run out of time,

01:58:26.840 and I have something really great to share

01:58:29.040 because I don't want you to feel like you were kicked in the gut

01:58:31.140 because it feels like it, but it's not true.

01:58:37.720 It's not true.

01:58:39.060 I want to introduce you to somebody.

01:58:42.040 Rob Buchert is his name.

01:58:44.880 I don't know him.

01:58:46.020 I just saw something.

01:58:47.080 A friend sent me some information on him and what he is doing.

01:58:52.320 He is the co-owner of, I think it's Trist Press.

01:58:55.580 and he is doing something that i just think is great in fact i want to buy rob and i i'll pay

01:59:04.040 for them i want to buy at least 10 of these i might i might buy more of these from you um

01:59:10.060 because i think what you're doing is so good and i want to give them as gifts because i think

01:59:14.560 they're just beautiful you are making the dunlap broadside reproduction of the declaration of

01:59:21.180 independence. Can you tell me what it is, Rob? Tell people what it is. The Dunlap Broadside was

01:59:27.020 the, it's the birth certificate of the nation. I think you could call it that. It's the document

01:59:33.600 that was made on July, the night of July 4th, 1776, and then was sent the next morning

01:59:44.000 to all the colonies and to the people who needed to be able to announce the formation of a new

01:59:53.320 nation, of our nation, the United States of America. That's where we got our name. It's

02:00:00.180 there in the document. So this is a broadside. What a broadside is, it's like a poster. And it

02:00:06.940 was printed overnight in a hurry, as many as they could. And then they just started putting them up

02:00:12.800 everywhere so people could read them. It's how you got the news. And so they were put up and

02:00:17.800 there's only a handful of these left. One guy bought one accidentally. He bought a frame with

02:00:24.740 a picture that he thought was ugly. And he just liked the frame. And I think he bought it for

02:00:30.000 like $3. He gets home, he's taking the painting out. Good thing he didn't use a knife. He's

02:00:35.120 taking the painting out. And as he pulls the painting off, he realizes behind there is

02:00:40.760 the declaration of independence and i think the last time it sold it sold for like three or four

02:00:46.160 million dollars uh so it was a good day at the at the uh flea market or the uh the garage sale

02:00:51.720 um but this is the one it doesn't look like the one you're used to seeing this is a printed broad

02:00:57.880 broadside and it's my understanding the paper you tried to make just like it was and that you're

02:01:04.260 setting the typeset crooked and you're actually printing them with the same kind of ink and

02:01:10.460 everything so it looks exactly like the broadside is that true that's correct is that right that is

02:01:17.560 i i have a strange set of skills i'm a as an artist i'm a paper maker and i i make books and

02:01:23.360 i make the equipment to make paper and a friend of mine came to me in january and he said uh i've

02:01:30.540 been talking to george washington this friend gov allen is a um he's in the reenactment community

02:01:36.540 the colonial reenactment community and he said i i've been talking to george washington

02:01:44.940 and he said uh and george washington is running out of 18th century paper and gov said well i

02:01:50.700 know a guy and so he called me and i i started looking into 18th century paper it's it's a fast

02:01:57.420 for me it's fascinating um and and i don't remember quite how but i stumbled on the uh

02:02:03.180 the um dunlap broadside and i thought wow i you know i have the skills to remake this i'm going

02:02:11.900 to give it a try and then i realized the year and i thought boy i better get on it and get get

02:02:16.540 working fast so the the paper i i made the equipment um it's very similar to the equipment

02:02:24.060 the original paper would have made on i've it's got the watermark um that's the watermark in the

02:02:30.140 in the copy that's in the um library of congress um i thought about i'm sorry go ahead

02:02:37.500 no no go ahead i'm listening oh okay i thought about just using the picture and cleaning it up

02:02:43.840 but then i thought by the time i've cleaned it up um i could have just redesigned the type

02:02:49.040 and so i redesigned the type and then i was in in doing that i was able to uh to reset it exactly

02:02:56.400 uh character for character on top of the um the original so it's you could you could study this

02:03:04.560 document and see the things that they did that night with the type and then i printed it by hand

02:03:09.460 it's it's amazing when you have something a piece of paper from that era and i imagine yours feels

02:03:15.420 the same i mean it's almost like holding a piece of cloth um and that's why you know back anything

02:03:21.800 from like 1880 definitely after 1920 the paper changes and it gets hard and brittle and it

02:03:28.020 just turns to dust this will last forever um that's why we we have these documents and the

02:03:34.720 things that they they wrote because the paper just is not going to disintegrate it's it's fabulous

02:03:39.940 paper um how can somebody get them if they want to have one to frame it oh we've got a shop

02:03:46.480 declaration 250.shop so and how much are they how much are they they're 75 right now 76 sorry

02:03:56.940 um patriotic gotta add that extra dollar patriotic yes but they they go up to 150 i it's a

02:04:06.300 what's the difference what's the difference between yeah 150 and the in the 76 oh no difference it's

02:04:16.120 you know it's been a journey doing this um it's been a a real eye-opener for me um as i've as i've

02:04:24.460 dug into this document and i understand that you're pretty you've dug in pretty deep and and

02:04:29.720 so i'm i'm following those steps and and i love it and i thought here's this opportunity that i

02:05:12.220 the numbers. Okay, back in just a minute, let me tell you about American financing. There's a

02:05:16.240 difference between owning something and actually putting it to work. You can really have a nice

02:05:20.460 set of tools sitting in your garage, but they don't do you much if you never take them out of

02:05:25.720 the toolbox. Same thing can be true about the equity you built in your home for a lot of people

02:05:30.160 just sits there. Meanwhile, you're paying high interest rates, 25% on credit card balances

02:05:35.160 every single month. How would you like to get that down to 5% or 6%? Think of the money you'll save.

02:05:41.040 This is a smart equity loan from American Financing.

02:05:44.240 If you built equity in your home, you may have a way here to put that to work for you by

02:05:49.560 for your house.

02:05:54.940 You don't want to touch that.

02:07:08.580 Glenn Destroys the Lies in a brand new documentary streaming July 1st.

02:07:13.820 That's tomorrow.

02:07:15.580 I'm hopping on a plane to get to Washington, D.C.,

02:07:17.900 where I'll be there tomorrow afternoon on the mall at, I think it's 1 or 2,

02:07:21.960 I think it's 1 o'clock, to give a speech right after the radio show.

02:07:26.800 2 o'clock, 2 o'clock on the mall, thanks.

02:07:29.740 And I'll be on the main stage.

02:07:31.180 We're going to go over the Declaration of Independence.

02:07:32.840 That'll be right after the radio show tomorrow if you happen to be in Washington, D.C.

02:07:36.480 And then after that, at 8 p.m. tomorrow night,

02:07:41.480 Jason and I are going to be in Washington, D.C.,

02:07:44.380 and we're going to debut the new live documentary called The Golden Door.

02:07:49.420 You really don't want to miss that.

02:07:51.520 Jason, we have to shoehorn some information in about Iran tomorrow, too,

02:07:56.040 on the radio program because there are some interesting things

02:07:58.600 that are happening in Iran that might actually be

02:08:01.360 kind of like what we were hoping was going to happen.

02:08:05.800 But the emphasis is on hoping.

02:08:10.120 Would you agree with me?

02:08:11.640 Yeah, I agree with you.

02:08:12.420 I think the evidence is showing that that is happening.

02:08:15.140 I guess the only question is how severe is it happening?

02:08:17.900 But there is infighting happening right now very publicly.

02:08:21.280 And I don't know if you have time now.

02:08:23.320 No, I don't.

02:08:24.520 But it's with the mullahs.

02:08:27.760 And if the mullahs start coming apart, then the whole thing comes apart.

02:08:32.700 And they're infighting on this, right?

02:08:35.500 Some of them are saying, we want this deal, and others are saying, we don't.

02:08:39.500 Yeah, some of them are coming out and saying that the Supreme Leader is not on board.

02:08:43.680 Others are saying he is.

02:08:45.240 Come on, guys.

02:08:46.120 You know this.

02:08:47.040 There's something going on over there.

02:08:48.880 Yeah, there's something.

02:08:49.720 Yeah, that's a really good development.

02:08:52.740 Even though we've had kind of some bad development today with SCOTUS, it's certainly not the end.

02:08:58.800 And there's things that we can do.

02:08:59.740 We're going to talk about that tomorrow.

02:09:00.680 I'm going to give you a white pill on the SCOTUS verdict tomorrow on the program.

02:09:06.700 We'll see you from D.C., the nation's capital.

02:09:09.980 May God save the republic.
