00:00:13.380There are more of those than you think.
00:00:14.820And 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.
00:00:22.160And I'm not in all situations, but they can go bad fast.
00:01:52.980And my name is Glenn Beck. Hello from the nation's capital in Washington, D.C., where it is hot as hell, but an amazing setup.
00:02:00.740I mean, I got to tell you, the government is spending around $300 million to be able to put this whole thing on.
00:02:11.960It is it's it's incredible. I've never seen I've never seen anything like it.
00:02:18.280And I've been to Washington, D.C. since the 80s, and I've never seen this city so clean.
00:02:23.860The parks are clean, and nobody's here because all the Trump haters are absolutely gone.
00:02:28.540But it is promising to be an incredible weekend.
00:02:33.340If you're anywhere in the area, you should come to Washington, D.C. and see this.
00:02:39.200Because I'll tell you here in a few minutes, you've never seen anything like this before.
00:02:44.160There are several things that have never been done before.
00:02:47.240I mean, not just in Washington, D.C., but in the history of the world that are happening this weekend, that if you want to do something great for 4th of July, this is the place you should be this week.

00:06:44.660i don't think we live in the same country anymore i think everything has changed and meanwhile
00:06:55.620Well, here in Washington, D.C., things are, again, last night I got in and I took a walk.
00:07:02.760I walked about two miles around the mall.
00:07:06.220It is, if you didn't, if you've never been to Washington, D.C., you won't know what Washington, D.C. actually looks like when all of this stuff isn't here.
00:07:18.000They have fencing around the White House.
00:07:20.420You can't get within two blocks of the White House.
00:07:22.620So you can only see it about two blocks away.
00:48:55.020Most people don't know he was drowning in grief.
00:48:59.880He almost didn't even make it into the room.
00:49:04.140You know, we've turned Thomas Jefferson into marble, a face in the mountain, a face on the nickel, a powdered wig and a serene gaze and a quill held at the perfect angle.
00:49:17.420Take away the wig and the marble and all of that stuff because he is much more astonishing than the statue is.
00:49:32.4201776. History is about to be made in Philadelphia. He doesn't think it's going to be made. He thinks it's going to be made in Virginia, in the statehouse. And so he is staying at home. And he didn't want to go. His heart was in Virginia.
00:49:48.660the writing of a brand new state constitution was happening right then that was the prize to him
00:49:57.660philadelphia was the duty and he lingered for a while he lingered at monticello
00:50:04.500he didn't leave congress until early may nearly missed his own immortality by sheer reluctance
00:50:14.640And he had reasons to stay, stay, nothing to do with politics and reasons that honestly, if you, if you're human, it almost breaks your heart when you stop and look at him that March, his mother died and his mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson, she was 57 years old and he was devastated, devastated, very close to his mother.
00:50:41.700you know thomas jefferson this is a guy fountain of language this is a guy who could spin a sentence
00:50:46.860like silk he just he would write volumes of words on things and all of them beautiful do you know
00:50:54.340how he recorded the death of his own mother in his own little pocket account book one line one flat
00:51:02.520line my mother died this morning time of day her age nothing else no grief on the page he was
00:51:13.300bottling it all up if you've ever lost somebody and you find yourself unable to write a single
00:51:23.380feeling down just the cold facts because the facts are all you can survive then you know who
00:51:28.140Thomas Jefferson was in this moment that flatness isn't coldness that flatness is a wound that is
00:51:33.640way too deep for any kind of words so that happens and then he gets sick he's prone to
00:51:42.220migraines and he's got a blinding migraine headache um and it was triggered by the grief
00:51:49.080and the strain of what was happening not only with him but there was something else his wife
00:51:54.200martha the love i mean the love of his life you want to read something really beautiful
00:52:00.220his wife eventually dies he goes over to paris and he is he falls in love with this girl and he
00:52:08.020he still feels promised to his wife and so he doesn't know what to do he loves this woman wants
00:52:15.180to go off with this woman but he doesn't and he writes this letter to his heart and then his heart
00:52:21.860writes a letter to his head, and it's this argument from the heart to the head and the
00:52:26.740head to the heart. It's just this amazing letter. He's trying to figure out, what do I do?
00:52:32.400Well, his wife is still alive, and this is the love of his life. Her health had always been
00:52:37.620fragile, broken again and again by pregnancy after pregnancy after pregnancy. She keeps having
00:52:42.960miscarriages, and every time she's gravely ill. She's now recovering from another miscarriage.
00:52:51.860and the letters he was, I mean, he was desperate to receive any word from her health telling,
00:52:58.860is she getting better or worse? They weren't coming while he was in Philadelphia. So throw
00:53:04.600out all the crap that you learned in the school book about, you know, the image of this calm
00:53:09.120genius at his desk, you know, and replace it with the truth. This guy was in deep angst and mourning
00:53:17.440And Congress comes in and hands history to him.
00:53:26.420He's afraid his wife is going to die at any minute, miles away, no word from home, homesick, down to his bones, helpless to do anything about it at all.
00:53:37.460That's who wrote the Declaration of Independence.
00:53:39.640So now the committee of five meets and somebody has to actually put pen to paper.
00:53:47.440And the obvious choice is not Jefferson.
00:54:10.580By every right, the pen should have been his and the fame that went with it.
00:54:14.800The man who wrote the declaration would be remembered forever and John Adams knew it. And John Adams said, I can't write this. I can't write it. Why? Because for as bullish as John Adams was, to his everlasting credit, he knew exactly who John Adams was.
00:56:50.400The man who would write the document that defined a civilization, Western civilization.
00:56:56.300could not or would not speak up in a meeting because he was shy he was a homebody he hated
00:57:02.760the cut and the thrust of the debate shouting and the performing he hated it put him on his feet in
00:57:09.040a crowd and he's frozen put a pen in his hand and alone in silence and he could reach up and pull
00:57:16.760thunder out from the sky there's a lesson in that that i don't think we should walk past
00:57:23.840Every quiet person who ever sat in a loud room feeling useless, every person who knew they had something true inside of them but couldn't win the shouting match, Thomas Jefferson is your founding father.
01:00:52.420Just days before George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights had been printed,
01:00:57.480and it opened by declaring that all men are by nature equally free and independent with inherent rights.
01:01:05.880You read that, then you read Jefferson, and you can hear it humming underneath the lines.
01:01:10.800He had his own earlier writing to draw from a pamphlet that he printed in 1774 that he had first that first really made Thomas Jefferson famous.
01:01:20.560He had the whole inheritance of English liberty and John Locke deep in his bones, but he didn't open a single book while he wrote.
01:01:29.220He didn't look at any other paperwork.
01:01:30.920It just was coming from him and explains the genius of him better than anything else.
01:01:36.720He said he never intended it to be original.
01:01:41.180He said, I just wanted the declaration to be an expression of the American mind.
01:01:46.660He wasn't trying to invent a new idea.
01:01:49.260He was really, I mean, it's a lot, very much like Thomas Paine and common sense.
01:03:56.580america there are three and then christian and men he added two more those two would be deleted
01:04:07.260by two colonies but you look at the cross outs you look at what was changed and who changed it
01:04:15.360it's amazing you'll see crossed out and you'll see something changed and then it'll be in the
01:04:19.800hand of benjamin franklin and it will say b franklin on the edge and then in the margin a
01:04:25.360little farther down, I'll say J. Adams, and there'll be another change in John Adams' hand.
01:04:30.120But very few changes. But you can see it's not God writing scripture. It's a frightened,
01:04:38.100brilliant, heartbroken young man doing the best he could and reaching by accident and grief and
01:04:47.960Genius. Reaching all the way to forever.
01:04:54.520The progressives have made the Declaration of Independence something that was meant to be just for their time.
01:05:05.420But that's the genius of it. It's not just for their time. It's for our time.
01:05:12.660That is the argument that Wilson started, Woodrow Wilson started, turn of last century, that the Declaration of Independence is irrelevant.
01:05:23.020That's why Independence Day is so important.
01:05:26.980You know, that's not the founding of our country.
01:09:12.180Never seen it, but apparently, you know, if you could, you could read, if they would put
01:09:17.960subtitles on, maybe a few of us would go.
01:09:19.920But anyway, a prince named Caliph falls in love with the princess Turandot and she has sealed herself behind fear and power and impossibly cruel condition, uh, conditions.
01:09:32.500If she, if somebody wants to seek her hand for marriage, he has to answer three riddles and failure means death.
01:10:22.780Now, standing in the middle of that tense and fearful night, Caliph sings alone.
01:10:28.660Everyone around him is consumed by uncertainty, but he is absolutely convinced that dawn will bring not his death, but a different outcome.
01:10:38.580And the aria builds to, you know, one of the most famous climaxes in all of music where he says, Vincero, Vincero. What does that mean? What does Vincero mean? It means I will win.
01:10:55.160the power of that song the reason why it speaks to you even though you don't know the story and
01:11:02.540you don't know what it says it speaks to you because the song is not found in triumph already
01:11:08.620achieved it comes from the confidence maintained before the outcome is known it's somebody it's
01:11:16.400the sound of somebody standing in the darkness surrounded by absolute doubt by everybody
01:11:22.200holding fast to the belief that morning is coming
01:11:25.500and morning is bringing a different outcome
01:12:24.900Trump has spent his entire public life cultivating the image of a man who walks into impossible situations, believing that he can prevail.
01:12:35.060Business setbacks, political opposition, criminal investigations, impeachments, election battles, relentless criticism, the Iran thing, all of it.
01:12:46.580And yet the central theme remains consistent.
01:13:04.520Now, that confidence, whether admired or criticized, is inseparable from Donald Trump.
01:13:10.680When the tenor reaches the summit and declares victory, supporters hear an echo of the quality they associate with Trump more than any other.
01:13:22.640They don't know it because they don't know the story.
01:13:25.920It's the refusal to concede psychologically before things are finished.
01:13:33.660But like I said, there's another layer, and I think it's a larger one.
01:13:37.120the song arrives at the end of his rallies
01:13:41.240because the rallies themselves are not about one man
01:30:14.380Alright, bad night for the Republic yesterday in Colorado
01:30:19.040Because the Democratic Socialists have won again
01:30:22.140What does this mean? I'm going to explain here in just a second. First, let me tell you about
01:30:27.160Patriot Mobile. You can be a customer of a company for 20 years and have absolutely no idea what
01:30:32.460they're doing with the profits you help them make. You just pay the bill every month. They
01:30:36.700provide a good service, the end of the relationship, right? Until the day you find out, wait a minute,
01:30:40.920wait a minute, you've been using some of these profits to prop up Planned Parenthood? I don't
01:30:47.760want a dime of my money going to that that's an uncomfortable feeling the good news is you don't
01:30:52.880have to just shrug your shoulders and accept it now they have all of the networks the big three
01:30:57.900they built the whole system so you got to have access to those networks but you don't have to
01:31:03.600give them all of your money okay patriot mobile they're america's only christian conservative
01:31:08.480wireless provider and they have donated millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith
01:31:14.180family free speech the second amendment life um and our first responders and veterans so you'll
01:31:21.440get access to all three major nationwide networks and in a few minutes you can be doing business

01:31:36.760patriot mobile.com slash beck 972 patriot promo code is beck make the switch today
01:31:42.940All right. So Milat Kairos won yesterday, and she won in the Democratic primary. Now, I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I know that I saw her speech. She is a Democratic socialist. Yesterday, in fact, let me see if we have this audio. Yesterday, we had Mom Donnie. Yeah, cut to listen to this. Listen to this. This is Mom Donnie.0.84
01:32:10.500and we raise taxes on the wealthiest new yorkers instead of taking more from those with the least
01:32:15.980throughout this process i've been reminded of the words of the austrian economist
01:32:19.760friedrich hayek if socialists understood economics they wouldn't be socialists these past months have
01:32:25.740shown us anything it is that socialists not only understand economics just as well as the
01:32:29.740capitalists who came before but that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace
01:32:33.880of our principles they've been in office for what less than a year we've proven it every single
01:32:42.960socialist experiment fails fails so milat wins yesterday in colorado and she says we're taking
01:32:51.400our system back and we're taking our country back what what do you what do you mean you're
01:32:57.760taking your country back because that's what everybody was saying about the tea partiers
01:33:01.440what do they mean by we're taking our country back what does that mean well i know what it
01:33:07.580means it it means we're returning to the constitution and the declaration of independence
01:33:12.100you when you're talking about getting rid of capitalism you're not taking it back
01:33:16.620so the question is is this is this just the edges of the party or is this going to be
01:33:26.320is this a death knell for the next election because that's what they always say about
01:33:32.620the republic when you have somebody who's a constitutional he's an extremist he's crazy
01:33:37.160he hates the government he's he's totally on the edge he's a danger these guys are not getting that
01:33:46.040rap from the press of course but have they gone too far for the average democrat i don't know
01:33:52.200I don't know. One of the biggest mistakes Republicans could make right now is believing
01:33:56.960we've seen this movie before. We haven't seen this. Okay. People are like, this is the Democratic
01:34:02.180Tea Party. No, it's not. It's really not. The Tea Party. I was part of that. You may have been part
01:34:10.200of that. What was it? We were asking America not to become something new. We were asking America
01:34:17.860to do something traditional to become something old again okay remember what those rallies look
01:34:25.620like the pocket constitution guys my son turned into one yesterday on the airplane he had a pocket
01:34:31.720constitution i'm like i'm not gonna tell you but in my day that made you really super nerdy
01:34:37.280but pocket constitution the don't tread on me flags the people quoting the declaration of
01:34:44.740independence dressed up as ben franklin and george washington i mean wow that's radical
01:34:51.640they were not demanding that washington seize industries or redistribute wealth they were not
01:34:58.740saying eat the rich they were arguing that washington had forgotten its own limits
01:35:04.080whether you agreed with them or not their argument was restorative you could say i don't want to go
01:35:10.480back there but they wanted less government lower debt a return to constitutional principles they
01:35:16.160were like let's do it the old way they're extremists now those same voices are calling
01:35:23.920democratic socialism the future think of that one movement wanted to go wanted to get the
01:35:31.940government to shrink the other believes the government should regulate more spend more
01:35:36.420own more, forgive more, guarantee more, direct more of the economy? These are not
01:35:44.680mirror image. They are opposites. And here's something else that nobody seems to notice.
01:35:52.620Every successful socialist movement in history claimed to represent the workers. This is so
01:35:58.140important where are the workers today where are they today's movement represents the graduates
01:36:08.240look where all the energy comes from the elite universities the prestigious media the non-profits
01:36:17.160the government bureaucracy the professional advocates uh the activists the commanding
01:36:25.580height of culture. Karl Marx predicted the revolution would come from the factory floor.
01:36:32.000Instead, it seems to be coming from the faculty lounge.
01:36:37.520So now here's the question, and we don't know the answer to this. We'll find out in November.
01:36:42.460Will the average Democrat buy it? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I was looking at some polling
01:36:49.740last night from Gallup, found something fascinating. Americans still view capitalism
01:36:54.440more favorably than socialism, 54% to 39%, but that's crazy. Socialism. People are actually
01:37:01.220talking about communism now, but here's what's more interesting. Take capitalism out of it,
01:37:07.640the free market. Do you support small businesses and the free enterprise? 95% have a positive view
01:37:16.860of small business with the free market.
01:53:35.300We're going to bring it over to you now, and you're going to do it our way.
01:53:40.540Look at that's what that's why they gave us the Statue of Liberty, because they were saying to their own people, help us raise money to celebrate their 100th anniversary.
01:53:50.220But they were doing it so they could preach what was happening in America.
01:53:54.240The same thing Germans were doing it with the George Washington crossing the Delaware painting.
01:58:47.040If everybody who came in in the next hundred years were all black.
01:58:51.140But they loved the country, the founding, the story, they were hardworking entrepreneurs, they got it, I don't care. I don't care. You can be as diverse as you want, as long as we unify on the principles of this country.
01:59:11.360And you'll really understand that you will see what this is about, why we have immigration and why what we're doing is a suicide pact.
