00:00:00.000
Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner, and every year we all go through exactly the same exercise.
00:00:05.380
We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives insisting, I don't need anything.
00:00:10.360
The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones.
00:00:12.620
They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over.
00:00:15.860
The things that become part of his daily life because they're well-made, they're comfortable, and they're built to last.
00:00:21.040
That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day.
00:00:24.000
They make premium hoodies, great T-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States.
00:00:34.100
And the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way.
00:00:38.660
The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on, and it keeps feeling great years later.
00:00:45.780
This Father's Day, it's American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

00:02:21.660
the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:02:34.580
well hello america welcome to the glenn beck program we're glad you're here lots to do today
00:02:43.680
uh it is tuesday yes i do know what day of the week it is barely but i do know it
00:02:48.740
day of the week. It is Tuesday. I want to talk about the election and the nonsense that is going
00:02:55.260
on in California. We are launching our summer of 250, our education program. We'll get into that
00:03:01.640
a little bit. Also, people ask me all the time, can you imagine, Glenn, what do you think America
00:03:09.200
would be like if Kamala Harris would have won the last election? Oh, I can tell you exactly what it
00:03:14.940
would be like because there is a new report out now from the House Oversight Committee that has
00:03:21.120
just dropped a massive hammer on Tim Walsh and Keith Ellison, both of whom, if these are true,
00:03:27.900
should be in prison. I want to explain and you'll understand what America would have been. I mean,
00:03:33.840
we just dodged a bullet. That bullet was so close, it was like it nipped our ear just as it did
00:03:40.540
uh in butler pennsylvania i mean the republic was this close to peril if these guys would have won
00:03:48.880
and you'll understand blind eyes stolen billions and the price of betrayal in 60 seconds first
00:03:56.040
let me tell you about pre-born somewhere along the line a society that produced an awful lot
00:04:01.240
of boys stopped turning nearly as many of them into men a man accepts responsibility he protects
00:04:08.480
those who depend on him. A man doesn't run from a challenge because he arrived earlier than
00:04:14.620
expected. And one of the fastest ways for a boy to discover whether he's ready to be a man or not
00:04:20.680
is if he finds out that he's going to be a father. That's one of the reasons work of pre-born matters
00:04:27.360
so much. When an expectant mom visits a pre-born clinic, she receives a free ultrasound. And
00:04:32.020
sometimes all it takes to wake up the man in inside of the boy is a
00:04:36.680
realization is somebody is counting on him to show up today.
00:04:40.580
You can help another father experience that same call to the satisfaction of
00:04:48.080
You can sponsor an ultrasound through a pre through pre-born and help
00:04:54.000
both mom and dad see a future filled with life and compassion and the hope of
00:05:00.320
say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash beck it's preborn.com
00:05:05.820
slash beck sponsored by preborn so a house oversight committee has just come out uh with
00:05:12.900
a report and it's dropping the hammer on uh minnesota governor tim waltz and attorney general
00:05:17.980
keith ellison this report now exposes they both knew about the taxpayer fraud uh programs the
00:05:26.900
welfare programs as far back as spring of 2019. That's $9 billion, that's billion with a B,
00:05:35.860
lost to Medicare fraud alone in one state since 2018. Another $300 million stolen from federal
00:05:44.840
child nutrition programs meant for kids, feeding our future and its cronies, feasting while the
00:05:52.620
system was looted. Now, here is the worst part. They didn't just fail to stop it. They had the
00:05:59.660
authority, they had the clear authority to suspend payments, investigate, and shut it down. But
00:06:06.300
instead, they chose political protection over people's treasure. Question is, why? They say
00:06:14.900
fear of political retribution from certain activist communities. Fear of being called
00:06:22.180
racist or Islamophobic. So instead of guarding the taxpayers' money, they guarded the fraud machine.
0.56
00:06:31.200
Now, I want you to hear this. There is one thing about not catching it. There's another thing to
00:06:36.780
turning a blind eye. And then it's an entirely different category when you take the whistle
00:06:44.760
blowers the public servants with integrity trying to expose it and you retaliate against them and
00:06:51.040
the retaliation was vicious private investigators were sicked on these people and and were told to
00:06:57.620
dig into their lives photos of their cars and their homes monitoring of their phones and their
00:07:04.020
computers questions about their school kids you know when i say questions about their the school
00:07:09.980
and the kids it's like this you got a you got a kid going to uh uh roosevelt elementary don't you
00:07:18.080
be ashamed something happened there huh that's the kind that's the kind of retaliation check-ins
00:07:24.600
from the top threats of military style surveillance warnings to stop digging or be labeled bigots
00:07:32.940
they had a hotlines that were supposed to be anonymous and it would expose who was calling
00:07:40.100
they blocked the tip lines they shamed and punished anyone who dared to speak the truth
00:07:47.480
wow now that's a different category isn't it that's totally different than i didn't know what
00:07:53.680
was going on totally different than okay i knew what was going on but i didn't say anything
00:07:59.360
this is i knew what was going on quote i'm afraid so i'm going to make others very afraid
00:08:09.060
and i'm going to use every tool in the tool book that is that's crazy
00:08:15.020
turning a blind eye to billions vanishing and then actively silencing those who are sworn to
00:08:23.940
protect the system. Public officials, elected, appointed, betraying their oaths, betraying the
00:08:30.040
people of Minnesota, and betraying you and me. Let me tell you, if this is proven in a court of law,
00:08:36.420
because here in America, you are innocent until proven guilty, they should face the full weight
00:08:43.660
of justice and the full power of the federal government. You swore to protect the people.
00:08:50.120
You swore an oath to protect the state, the constitution, the public treasury, not to play politics while people are enriching themselves.
00:09:01.420
Turning a blind eye to rampant theft? Malfeasance.
00:09:06.260
Obstructing justice by intimidating whistleblowers?
00:09:12.720
that is that you should face the harshest penalty not the death penalty but the harshest
00:09:20.180
the harshest penalty a public servant can ever face you should go to life in prison for what
00:09:27.640
you've just done removal from office not enough fines not enough but no one is above the law
00:09:36.560
not governors not attorney general not not their enablers you know and we don't do show trials
00:09:43.840
we don't do political revenge we're not supposed to i'm not advocating that we do justice blind
00:09:50.760
impartial justice rooted in evidence and the rule of law but make no mistake accountability is not
00:09:58.840
optional on this one if you are a leader and you loot the public purse and punish the righteous
00:10:06.220
Americans need to demand that those politicians answer for it and I mean I mean demand it
00:10:15.380
you have a right to assemble you have a right to petition if this one goes down and these guys
00:10:22.160
walk away it's the end it's the end Glenn what do you think the republic would be like today
00:10:58.640
Billions stolen, whistleblowers crushed, not at a state level, but scaled up to the entire country.
00:11:05.360
Can you imagine the damage that they could have done at the federal level?
00:11:12.220
Trillions potentially funneled away under the cover of equity or political fear.
00:11:19.700
The House of Cards just would have kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:11:25.140
imagine thank god the american people saw through this in 2024 thank god we had a chance to root
00:11:34.340
this out let me let me say that again we have a chance to root this out chance and i believe we
00:11:43.700
have one chance the job isn't finished if i read another one of these reports that go absolutely
00:11:50.320
nowhere, I'm going to lose my mind. We have a chance to root this out. This has got to stop.
00:11:59.300
And this isn't just about Minnesota. This should be a warning to every politician. I don't care,
00:12:06.560
Republican, Democrat, Independent. Every politician should be put on notice. And all of us should
00:12:13.820
demand we root this out this rot in our system no matter the place the party or the person
00:12:20.500
no sacred cows no protected classes no more blind eyes because it might offend the wrong voters
00:12:27.320
every voter should be offended by what has just been done
00:13:01.820
i read a book once what did it say uh something like woe unto those who call evil good and
00:13:09.980
good evil we're living it gang we're living it let me say something to the whistleblowers
00:13:18.480
thank you thank you you should sue the state should pay you a buttload of money
00:13:29.620
and you should sue not just the state you should sue waltz uh and the attorney general and anyone
0.61
00:13:38.880
else that was involved they put you through hell you're the remnant you're the watchman stand firm
00:13:46.020
thank you thank you for doing it and know that you are now an example that the truth always wins
00:14:15.960

00:14:24.460
Again, fear God, not the mob, fear God and justice
00:14:32.000

well uh here we are on our 250th birthday just right around the corner america has been standing
00:17:58.180
as a beacon of hope for 250 years all around the world we have had good days we've had bad days
00:18:04.080
good times bad times it's been the best of times been the worst of times been all of it
00:18:08.900
But our job is to build a more perfect nation, to build a more perfect nation.
00:18:14.640
Not a perfect one because our founders were too smart for that.
00:18:17.440
They knew we're never going to build a perfect one because we have all kinds of stuff that we do that suck.
00:18:22.980
We have all kinds of things that we have done in the past and probably are doing today that stink on ice.
00:18:30.000
Taking food out of children's mouth, actually having the balls to say, we're developing a program to feed children.
0.97
00:18:37.400
And then taking that money and it's all corruption, it's all going to another country or going to one of your fancy NGOs that are not feeding children, it's despicable.
0.99
00:18:59.220
If you read, actually read the Bill of Rights, you'll understand every story that you read every day.
00:19:05.460
you'll understand oh you're like oh i see that's because we violated the fifth amendment that's why
00:19:11.700
we violated the uh ninth amendment we violated the first amendment whatever it is everything
00:19:18.260
that you see that's going wrong in our country it's because we have violated the constitution
00:19:22.780
or the bill of rights or the declaration of independence every single time prove me wrong
00:19:31.040
Every day, look at the stories and then look at the Constitution, the Declaration, or the Bill of Rights and find where did we go wrong.
00:19:52.080
so if you want us to survive the next 250 years the next 250 days may i suggest you join us for
00:20:01.600
the summer of 250 at torch250.com today we are launching the summer of 250 it is full of uh
00:20:10.540
original music all through the summer and every song can i play a little bit of five in the first
00:20:15.060
please it's available today for your family and it's it's built to be an earworm uh something you

won't be able to get out of your head because I want your kids to know the five freedoms in the
00:20:26.500
first amendment here they are yeah we're talking about the first amendment number one the founders
00:20:34.960
wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone it's not just history it's something that we use
00:20:45.180
So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to choose
00:21:16.200
That's five in the first, five in the first one

00:21:54.500
everybody over eight um and you know under under eight just play the song just let them sing it

00:25:14.360
singing this particular song we've hired all kinds of singers to do it the musicians came into a
00:25:18.820
studio I mean it'd be interesting to see the musicians and the studio engineers and Aaron
00:25:22.480
himself realizing today he's waking up today going oh my gosh I'm just nothing but digital code
00:25:27.400

uh here it is steve hilton on the mail-in ballots this this is a this is amazing this is steve
00:26:31.260
hilton who is now looks like he is going to be in the top two so he'll be for the gubernatorial race
00:26:37.320
in california he's exposing how bad things are in california listen to this this mail-in ballot
00:26:44.660
seven days after the election the i the argument is well we want maximum participation so if
00:26:53.620
someone wants to vote on election day we're going to treat sending in a mail ballot the same as if
00:26:59.200
you are voting. That's why we're going to give seven days for the ballot to arrive. But there's
00:27:04.240
a, there's a, there's a line in the law that says that actually the, the proof that you mailed your
00:27:12.740
ballot are on or just before election day, even if it arrives after election day, it's not just
00:27:19.860
the postmark. You can write it. You can handwrite the date. Wow. And that counts. It's, it's not,
00:27:27.600
I was talking about this at the last elections.
00:27:30.980
I had a whistleblower from the Postal Service explaining this.
00:27:34.840
So just to be really clear what that means, you can backdate your ballot.
00:27:56.000
they have rigged the system they have made it so nobody's breaking any laws nobody's going to go
00:28:03.280
to jail it's all part of the system we think you got a ballot you got to get a postmark by certain
00:28:08.940
no not in california you don't no you have a you have a pen and an envelope you just write today's
00:28:15.480
date down no sorry you just write election day's date down not today's date turn it in and you're
00:28:21.220
fine that's insanity and jason was just talking to the insiders here during the break and he was
00:28:27.800
saying he feels like this is the rosetta stone um that we are going to finally wake up and see
00:28:34.940
how this all works jason yeah i think what's interesting from uh the rosetta stone analogy
00:28:41.340
is the uh the reason why we have the rosetta stone is because in the king of egypt's arrogance
00:28:48.260
In his arrogance, he decided that he wanted to glorify himself,
00:28:51.400
and he wanted to make sure it was in multiple different languages
00:28:53.520
so everyone in the realm knew exactly how to glorify the king of Egypt.
00:29:02.460
so that we could translate Egyptian hieroglyphics.
00:29:04.460
I see this moment right now as the Rosetta Stone for understanding
00:29:09.440
and even talking about everything that's happening right now
00:29:12.880
with our distrust in many of these states with some of their elections.
00:29:16.340
I mean, what Steve Hilton was just talking about right there goes right along lines with an election insider that we talked about in multiple other states.
00:29:27.460
I just want to quote from how he said these elections work.
00:29:30.620
He said the reason why Democrats, like many days of voting, no signature verification and ballots able to be counted after Election Day is so they can see the Election Day turnout, determine the deficit and immediately go out and find all the votes they need.
00:29:44.120
now this is exactly what we've been thinking about but here's what we've been calling it fraud we've
00:29:48.380
been calling it things like that that lets election you know our the mainstream media come
00:29:52.380
out and say provide evidence that's fraud provide evidence this is illegal well the last point that
00:29:56.960
this person that i was talking to said now here's the thing here's the kicker this is all perfectly
00:30:02.380
legal in blue states because of blue state laws and i think that's where we're missing a lot of
00:30:08.580
the the you know i think the language and the thing that we really need to be focusing on here
00:30:12.600
is the laws that are disenfranchising millions of voters in many of these states where they have
00:30:18.400
just atrocious election laws. I want to show this right quick. This is the LA County mayor.
00:30:25.540
This is a graph that's showing the vote turnout. As you get over on the left here, it shows
00:30:31.500
exactly what drove everyone really excited. If you're a Spencer Pratt fan or any fan that does
00:30:37.220
not want to see LA crumble into dust. It showed Karen Bass in the lead as per expected. Then it
00:30:43.300
showed Spencer Pratt and then Rahman at the very bottom. Now, as per what I was just reading you
00:30:48.640
about how these laws work, you can see at some point after they decided which votes
00:30:53.820
allegedly that they needed, you can see at a certain point, all of a sudden Rahman's votes
00:30:59.000
just completely start escalating like crazy while Karen Bass's just flatline. They absolutely
00:31:06.640
flatline. So you're telling me that in a deep blue city, there's not at least some of those
00:31:12.260
mail-in voters that start voting for Karen Bass. There were minuscule amounts, but the vast
00:31:19.660
majority started going towards Rahman and it looked like negative votes for Spencer Pratt.
00:31:26.420
That does not make sense, but it also, the theory holds for ballot initiatives. I want to show this
00:31:32.520
next graph this is hilarious this is county measure er for la county for an increase in sales tax
00:31:39.320
now of course election night right when they're started the polls open the vast majority said no
00:31:47.080
of course we don't want an increase in sales tax that's ludicrous then that point where they need
00:31:53.340
to find the votes all of a sudden it just skyrockets in the mail-in counting and now
00:31:58.940
apparently allegedly most people in la county want to pay more in sales tax it makes no sense
00:32:06.740
we now have the rosetta stowe that says these are the laws that we need to target these are
00:32:11.160
the laws that are disenfranchising voters this is what we have to make moves on now the question
00:32:16.100
is when republicans do it no um the the i'm sorry it took me long so long to decide um but uh the uh
00:32:29.580
you know the thing is that the thing that really gets me is that if you kept the election uh night
00:32:39.120
numbers secret you i would have less of a problem i'd still have a problem with it don't get me
00:32:44.920
wrong but i'd have less of a problem with it because you know what we what you just said a
00:32:49.340
minute ago all you have to do is know what the deficit is i can make that up we'll just make it
00:32:53.820
up over you know the next 20 days i'll make up that deficit you know i'll just backdate some
00:32:58.540
more ballots and we'll you know we'll we'll we'll make sure that we get that this is something that
00:33:04.760
californians should understand when you do the the oscars the freaking oscars
00:33:13.080
they guard that like it's nobody's business you remember in the day when people used to watch the
00:33:19.840
oscars and they would say and now these are the uh these are the ballots as uh tabulated and held
00:33:26.380
in secret by price waterhouse maybe california should just hire price waterhouse maybe california
00:33:33.700
should just hire this the accounting firm of price waterhouse to oversee all of the elections
00:33:39.360
and guard them the way they guard the academy awards i mean they guard that like it is a
00:33:47.800
sacred trust and then the sacred trust that we actually have to the republican to the vote they
00:33:54.420
just pee all over it it is crazy what their god is but i i suggest that you get price waterhouse
00:34:01.480
to count everything and keep that number secret you want to do it this way okay i want the election
0.81
00:34:08.020
night number completely secret guaranteed and i want i want the penalty of execution if you leak
00:34:15.360
it it might be a little extreme but i don't think so uh why not why not because that is the biggest
00:34:24.520
problem they know the number if you know the number and you have created a system where you
00:34:30.140
can just print more ballots and find them and you can do it legally the whole thing is but you can't
00:34:38.700
I mean, you can't print the ballots if you don't know what you're aiming for.
00:34:45.080
I bet you if you could keep that number safe on election night,
00:34:56.220
the only job the federal government's going to do is just keep the tallies.
00:35:00.980
Or better yet, Pricewaterhouse, because they have a reputation.
00:35:22.100
because nobody's going to pay a price for that.
00:35:32.980
who would be against all you're doing is having an accounting firm the world's best accounting
00:35:39.820
firm according to the academy awards the world's best accounting firm counting the votes on the
00:35:47.160
election and keeping it secret that nobody knows until all of the votes are counted
00:35:52.520
they'd never do it they'd never make that one change leave everything else alone they'd never
00:36:06.480
You've got to have to ask yourself why. Okay, we're going to break.
00:36:09.640
I want to come back. Jason, I want to bring you in. We have to have a conversation about what's happening
00:36:17.720
keep up to speed as we're following that. Sorry, Iran.
1.00
00:36:22.440
I'm just used to saying Iraq, and they're both eyes, and they both
1.00
00:36:25.540
suck and it's both war so you know what i mean uh anyway we'll get into the iran update here in
00:36:31.700
just a second first let me tell you about uh legacy box i'm convinced that every family has
0.74
00:36:36.340
a few stories that would make a great movie the problem is they don't get preserved properly you
00:36:40.840
don't know the story about grandpa met grandma the story of actually that would that would be a bad
00:36:46.340
movie my grandpa met grandma uh at a dance in iowa and it was probably about 1920 1918 and
00:36:58.420
ladies did not dance with strange men and my grandfather came over to her without an escort
00:37:05.140
introducing and she said uh he said may i have this dance and she said oh i don't know you sir
00:37:12.080
no no thank you and so she turned him down they later met again she didn't remember this they
00:37:17.860
let her met again and grandpa never danced with grandma never never because he just thought she
00:37:25.840
didn't like to dance okay they danced at their wedding and that was the last time they danced
00:37:30.860
because he said she didn't like to dance because when he first asked her she said no and grandma
00:37:37.280
i don't remember being there when grandpa finally said because grandma was like i love to dance and
00:37:41.760
he never takes me dancing. And grandpa said, no, wait, wait, you don't love to dance. I'm like,
00:37:46.160
do you guys ever talk? No, apparently. And that's how they stayed together for 65 years. Anyway,
00:37:52.240
let me tell you, let me tell you, if you have great memories, you got to preserve them. Legacy
00:37:58.540
box. This is why they exist. They preserve the memories that matter the most by digitizing all
00:38:03.780
of your photos and videotapes and film reels and other treasures so they can be seen and enjoyed
00:38:17.420
Right now, during Legacy Box Father's Day sale,
00:38:31.560
We just call each other neighbor and friend.

00:38:53.280
Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
00:38:59.080
but there's another way that your home can be targeted
00:39:01.380
and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
00:39:08.220
criminals forge documents. They file them with the county. They transfer ownership of your home
00:39:13.280
into their name. And then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your
00:39:18.560
property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is you don't really know
00:39:23.600
much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect
00:39:27.400
you from this. And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need home
00:39:31.960
title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.
00:39:36.880
So, you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.
00:39:42.200
If something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can get it out, you can knock it out quickly.
00:39:48.080
I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity.
00:39:52.320

00:40:31.280
all right so donald trump this is going to come as a surprise to you goes to the next game
00:40:40.560
last night play cut 13 here he is this is what happened when they showed him on the big screen
00:40:46.960
oh my gosh are they booing him they're booing him in new york
00:41:01.260
who would have seen this coming people he's underwater in new york who would have seen it
00:41:06.820
coming relax relax it's the people who put mom donnie in office relax now is he having his best
00:41:18.560
day no and that's mainly because i think people are like hey my gas is getting really expensive
00:41:24.260
what the heck is happening with iran can you give me an update on that jason
00:41:30.200
so uh there's actually a big update this morning this morning synccom uh confirmed that there was
00:41:36.780
a downed apache helicopter uh off the coast of amman they have not actually explained why the
00:41:43.680
apache went down uh at least not as of now but both crew members uh were uh safely rescued uh
00:41:50.500
this morning so that so that's some good news some bad news and some good news um the president
00:41:55.680
Trump is is is still looking for what is now being called a home run deal and uh I that has been I
00:42:03.620
guess the elusive part of this that has been going on for the past several months Pakistan though
00:42:09.220
Glenn we have nothing to worry about because Pakistan has just made an announcement that
00:42:13.580
they're working on it they're on the case and they're going to make sure that there is a good
00:42:17.520
deal that's being done right now isn't it wait aren't most of the IRGC members either uh Afghanis
00:42:24.780
or pakistanis i mean you know so pakistan is on it we got it yeah yeah let's just say i question
00:42:33.260
the pakistanis motives here um just a little bit yeah i don't wow yeah yeah maybe it's just like
00:42:41.580
you know one of the biggest things we were worried about after 9 11 in afghanistan uh was probably
00:42:47.540
the pakistani intelligence um and their coordination with the taliban uh yeah so now
00:42:53.340
Well, take it from Jason, who's questioning the ballot count in Los Angeles.
00:43:04.300
I think this is a much longer conversation about what we're expecting to get out of this.
00:43:09.660
Yeah, we have to have that conversation because I'm bothered by the, what was it, home run deal?
00:43:20.780
I have a feeling I probably define home run differently than the administration is defining it right now.
00:43:42.360
Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can put you or them in danger.
00:43:48.200
It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed.
00:43:57.380
And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs.
00:44:02.020
But you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody.
00:44:04.700
And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast.
00:44:12.040
It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson.
00:44:18.260
It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required, and it can be used by all age groups over 18.
00:44:27.840
You'll be confident that you are prepared to defend yourself against potential threats.
00:44:34.500
Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.
00:44:37.080
You can find that location at Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:45:37.200
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:40.120
I had to tell you, I saw a video yesterday from MS Now, and they were interviewing people by the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C.
00:45:54.720
And I don't know if you're following this at all.
00:45:58.900
The reflecting pool was fixed by Obama, maybe then again by Biden.
00:46:04.220
And, of course, they don't know what they're doing with construction, so they botched it.
00:46:09.480
it always has this kind of green pond scum look to it especially in the summer uh and donald trump
00:46:18.520
they had to fix it so donald trump said i'll fix it nobody can fix it like i can fix it they said
00:46:23.580
it couldn't be done now look at it now everybody's talking about it i can fix it uh and so he did
00:46:29.720
fix it but he decided that it should be a reflecting pool and what is a reflecting pool
00:46:40.000
So when you add a little blue into the reflecting pool,
00:46:48.460
Well, I want you to listen to a couple of people
00:46:51.740
who MSNBC found in D.C. to talk about the reflecting pool.
00:46:58.500
I would have preferred to keep it like it was.
1.00
00:47:04.880
I think it's horrible. The color I've seen on the news is disgusting to me, as opposed to how beautiful it was in the past.
00:47:14.580
These people are Ponscombe. These people are actually standing. You can see the pictures side by side.
0.89
00:47:22.580
One is green like Ponscombe. One is clean and blue, and they find it disgusting.
00:47:39.040
You really got to tone down your hatred of the president and separate him from some of the things that are going on.
00:47:51.660
This one, I guarantee you, this one's not going to be leaking because I've seen Donald Trump do the ice rink.
00:47:57.700
and you know when he did the ice rink in new york everybody loved it everybody loved it now
00:48:02.960
that he's president the guy can't do a damn thing right why don't we re why don't we reset ourselves
00:48:09.980
into some principles here and i want to talk about that in 60 seconds first simply safe there is a
00:48:15.860
reason civilization you know works um and it isn't that everybody is good it's that a small number of
00:48:22.860
people who aren't good know there are consequences. People are far less likely to break the rules
00:48:28.720
when they know that somebody is watching, far less likely to take what doesn't belong to them
00:48:33.520
when they know they're going to get caught. They're far less likely to cause trouble when
00:48:37.340
they know trouble is coming back at them right away. That's why the advertisement of consequences
00:48:44.660
often is more important sometimes than the consequences themselves. And that's one of
00:48:49.920
the things I like about SimpliSafe. They understand that sometimes the best security system is the
00:48:54.340
one that helps you not just pick up the pieces after something goes bad. It's the one that makes
00:48:58.840
sure the bad guy has to decide, do I really want this trouble or am I going to move along?
00:49:04.540
Active, active guard outdoor protection from SimpliSafe. It will identify threats outside
00:49:10.780
the house before they even reach the front door. Trained agent sees what happens, speaks directly
00:49:16.720
through the system. They're out on the lawn. Excuse me, sir. Can I help you? They intervene
00:49:21.760
in real time. Get 50% off your new system now by visiting simplisafe.com slash Beck.
00:49:28.000
That's half off at simplisafe.com slash Beck. By the way, I need to apologize to all the snowflakes
00:49:33.020
on the left. I identified that robber on the lawn as a him. It might've been a her, he, she, it. I
00:49:39.180
don't know, but they'll protect you from all of those things. There is no safe like SimpliSafe.
00:49:46.720
I want to go to talk to you a little bit here about the summer of education.
00:49:57.560
America has, you know, we're celebrating our 250th birthday.
00:50:01.960
It's pretty amazing how half the country, and I've got a poll on this in about an hour that will show you what Democrats actually think about our country.
00:50:14.760
but you know some of us are celebrating the the summer of 250 and america's uh celebration of
00:50:23.260
freedom but to guarantee that there is going to be another you know even 250 days 250 months
00:50:30.780
let alone 250 years um we have to learn who we are you know people humans are designed to live
00:50:41.300
by story. When you tell a story, people understand it and they know how to operate within the
00:50:50.740
framework of that story. That's why the left has worked so hard to destroy our story. You have to
00:50:57.220
have a storyline. When you reconnect with a storyline, it's human nature. You connect and
00:51:05.720
now you can see the future. You can understand the past. You understand what you're doing at
00:51:10.180
the moment. You know where you're going. And so we've done a lot of things for the summer of
00:51:14.940
250 at Torch. And this all comes with your Torch membership at glenbeck.com slash Torch. But an
00:51:21.860
easy way to get there if you aren't a member is you just go to Torch 250. And you'll find all of
00:51:28.320
these things this summer with your Torch membership. Commercial-free episodes of The
00:51:33.360
American Story. We started this about 12 weeks ago. Right now, is it today or tomorrow, Ricky,
00:51:39.840
that we're posting an additional five episodes.
00:51:50.980
We start with Columbus and the Pilgrims coming over,
00:51:57.640
It's a harrowing tale all the way through the Revolution.
00:52:01.980
This next chunk, I think, takes us up to the Civil War
00:52:05.420
and through the Civil War and then through Reconstruction.
00:52:07.800
but you will understand the american story and it's based on david barton's book if you haven't
00:52:12.540
read it you should the american story um and written by nathan nipper and it is something
00:52:18.480
that we have spent each episode correct me if i'm wrong i think it takes 18 hours to produce
00:52:25.440
each episode something crazy like one million episode actually one million hours is the correct
00:52:34.620
The one episode had 400 different tracks on it,
00:52:47.320
I would have known it and would have loved it since I was a kid.
00:52:52.440
which is a book about history that is coming out for kids and family.
00:52:55.620
It's a dystopian tale that I came up with years ago, and one of my staff members, who is absolutely one of my favorites, she took this story and shaped it, and now we've taken it into an audio book, and that'll be released, I think, beginning in a week or two.
00:53:47.520
This was Studio Done, and we have 10 of these that are coming out.
00:53:52.060
And my goal is to make it an earworm so it will hang with you every day
00:53:57.160
because I want your kids and you to be able to say when the Bill of Rights,
00:54:01.900
right now when I say to you, name the five freedoms in the Bill of Rights.
00:54:07.720
Most people will struggle, but trust me, you listen to this song
00:54:11.140
and have your kids listen to this song for a few times,
00:54:15.520
they'll know it because schoolhouse rock that's how we all learn so much stuff with schoolhouse
00:54:20.400
rock so here's the five and the first the first song on the bill of rights yeah we're talking
00:54:27.680
about the first amendment number one the founders wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone
00:56:06.440
I believe that's five in the first, five in the first one
00:57:13.640
Yes, the government has changed things lawfully
00:57:16.500
That's five in the first, five in the first one
00:57:22.880
That's five in the first, and there are ten different songs for all amendments.
00:57:29.500
They are going to be released in the fall as an album.
00:57:32.960
You'll be able to get it at iTunes or whatever.
00:57:39.140
But this summer, because it's coming out with lesson plans for you and your kids,
00:57:44.320
I wanted to make sure that we had all kinds of stuff on the website and on the app
00:57:49.580
so you would be able to, when you're taking your vacation,
00:57:53.100
you're driving across the country, you're driving anywhere,
00:57:58.260
you can listen to the stories America's story you can listen to a great audiobook that teaches
00:58:04.640
about history that is my goal for the torch that is something that I this is this is the last
00:58:14.560
chapter you know and I say that it could last 40 years but it's the last chapter of my career
00:58:28.340
kids mainly, that know the truth about our country
00:58:36.800
So we use Torch members kind of like guinea pigs at times.
00:58:52.100
and get their feedback so we could incorporate it in.
00:58:54.840
I don't have, I haven't hired a head of education yet.
00:59:06.680
And so we're kind of just bluffing and doing it ourselves.
00:59:22.400
If you're already a Torch member, it's already there.
00:59:25.120
It's all in your app and everything that you already are used to.
00:59:29.080
But if you're new, just go to Torch250, sign up.
00:59:32.880
You'll see everything that is coming out this summer.
00:59:35.780
And there is a lot of material for you and your family all summer long.
00:59:40.320
Back in just a minute, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
00:59:44.980
Sometimes you do everything right and you still, things don't go your way, but you don't
00:59:48.820
give up on the battles that you can win, especially the easy ones.
00:59:52.760
If there is something that is making your life harder, there is a practical, simple
01:00:00.660
If aches and pains have been slowing you down, if inflammation is making it harder for you
01:00:04.880
to do the things you want to do, this is one of those battles that actually might have
01:00:11.600
It was developed by doctors to help support a healthy response to inflammation using a unique combination of ingredients.
01:00:17.620
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more because it works.
01:00:23.120
As America celebrates your 250 years of independence, give yourself a chance to reclaim yours.
01:00:27.660
Commemorate right now, offering a special patriotic price, $17.76.
01:00:45.020
relieffactor.com, 800, the number four, Relief.
01:01:04.880
which we want to do more of in the coming weeks and months.
01:01:10.760
But insiders are just gathering, and I like to pop in sometimes and just meet with the insiders in their local troop.
01:01:17.920
And we did one in Florida, and Carla and her husband were there, and they are homeschoolers.
01:01:23.600
And so I remembered that, and I said, Ricky, you remember Carla?
01:01:29.660
And I said, she's a homeschooler if I remember right.
0.95
01:01:32.100
Can we get her as one of the Torch members to guinea pig with her kids?
01:02:01.820
And, and you homeschool, you've been doing it for a couple of years.
01:02:04.860
You were going to a Christian school, right?
0.93
01:02:08.520
they were going to christian school for most of elementary and uh then in middle school i mean
01:02:15.480
there were just issues back and forth in the last the the the spot that broke the camel's back was
01:02:21.320
history and i was like all right girls we got to do this and it was a bit of convincing to my husband
01:02:26.360
who never was homeschooled is not from the united states so the concept of homeschool was very
01:02:32.040
um different but i i was homeschooled and i just saw the value in that and i said all right let's
01:02:38.040
let's do this and God totally moved in his heart and he was okay with it too.
01:02:59.100
is augmenting what you do to be able to help you,
01:03:07.600
and we gave you five in the first and the lesson plan and you gave us some really good tips on
01:03:14.160
that we're going to be incorporating on the on the new lesson plans that are becoming out
01:03:18.520
tell me what the reaction was and and what what what what do you thought what the girls thought
01:03:24.620
of the song and everything else so we start off with the song we got the song first um i had heard
01:03:31.140
it previously um on the show here um but they hadn't heard it so i put it for them to go ahead
01:03:36.340
and hear it um they really well what do you guys have anything to say or did you guys enjoy
01:03:44.480
listening to it well it was catchy um camila was she was like i can't get the song out of my head
01:03:52.760
um i i appreciate accomplished right exactly um the chorus just it just it just rings in your
01:04:03.340
head and that's like the most important part you know the part that you want to memorize but then
01:04:07.160
you have all the verses that give it that background and that build it i mean i think
01:04:12.980
if you listen to it you can tell what i was driving for i want them to be able to name the
01:04:17.580
five freedoms and that's why i just i mean i learned a lot from ace of bass when they when
01:04:22.780
they did the song what is it all i want is a baby and there was like seven words and that was the
01:04:27.720
entire song you got the point all they wanted was a baby uh and that's kind of the same thing um
01:04:34.520
have you guys listened to the american story at all yet that is and our things to do let's
01:04:40.240

01:05:46.420
And please keep us up to speed on what we can do better to help you teach your kids.
01:05:53.580
I love, and this is what I was telling Ricky, I love the fact that it teaches the why.
01:06:00.160
It teaches the mindset of the founding fathers.
01:06:15.340
You'll find all of it at torch250.com, torch250.com.
01:06:28.640
Let's just say they provided a very expensive education.
01:06:32.960
But the one I'm most proud of, I mean, one of them,
01:06:36.100
I mean, I'm really proud of the torch and blaze
01:06:38.080
and I'm proud of the show and all the people I work with.
01:06:40.560
But realestateagentsitrust.com is so far out of my wheelhouse.
01:06:44.380
it's my why my brother runs it um it is right up his wheelhouse he is a servant at nature he's just
01:06:52.160
the exact opposite of me um but he's really he has a servant's heart and he he listens to people and
01:06:59.300
he cares about their experience he used to be a food and beverage guy and then he was a you know
01:07:04.160
a general manager at great resorts and everything else and so he knows how to take care of people
01:07:10.180
And when we were talking about real estate, we didn't know how to find a good real estate agent.
01:07:14.700
And he was like, it's got to be people who know how to listen and take care, all of his qualities.
01:07:20.840
We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
01:07:26.180
If you're looking for a real estate agent, somebody will listen to you, work for you, serve you.
01:07:40.180
Prepare for the next 250 years with Torch's Summer of 250, designed to teach our history like never before.
01:08:02.560
With music, stories, lesson plans, and more, find it at Torch250.com.
01:08:10.180
All right, I want to walk you through two stories that ran this week, side by side, because together they'll tell you something about one of our, you know, major parties.
01:08:18.920
And, you know, let's be honest, it actually tells us where any of us will end up if we decide that the cause is bigger than the principles.
01:08:26.220
So let me tell you first the story about Graham Plattner, Democrat, frontrunner for the United States Senate in Maine, taking the seat of Susan Collins, and they're calling him Maine's Mom Donnie.
01:08:41.440
But if you like that kind of stuff and you're a Democrat, fine.
01:08:44.740
He sells himself as a working-class oyster farmer.
01:08:52.080
But it turns out regular guy went to an $80,000 a year boarding school
01:08:56.900
and comes from a family with a lawyer father and a world-famous architect grandfather.
01:09:04.240
and the average guy if the average guy is a communist that says billionaires just shouldn't
01:09:10.580
exist he's talked about deadly violence against political opponents he calls all police officers
1.00
01:09:16.520
bastards and he has said rural white americans are actually racist racist and stupid oh and then
1.00
01:09:24.360
there's a little thing about that tattoo he's got a tattoo on his chest used by the nazi ss
1.00
01:09:31.020
it's inked on his body he says i didn't know what that was that's a everyone knows what that is
01:09:36.540
now on top of that the new york times reported that several women who dated him described him
01:09:44.200
as disturbing and intimidating with one of the ex-girlfriends saying he was rough with her
01:09:52.120
the reaction inside the party well not a lot senior democrat aide has come out and said
01:10:00.040
everyone's uh apoplectic about it but i haven't seen it his own supporters congressman roe connor
01:10:07.480
said that his behavior is wrong and toxic there's a second story i want to talk to you about and
01:10:14.260
it's the same story kind of this about a woman named uh geneve mcdonald now she is a former
01:10:23.320
main uh state representative she's a democrat she was the political director of platner's
0.95
01:10:29.300
own campaign. She wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post blowing the whistle on the man she was hired
01:10:35.940
to elect. Will anyone hear that whistle? She said when she asked him about the tattoo, he said,
01:10:42.860
ah, it's a military thing, a little problematic, but nothing to worry about. She believed him.
01:10:48.560
Then the calls started coming from Washington. Have you read about his opposition file? Have
01:10:54.100
you seen it? She hadn't. What she learned was that he absolutely understood exactly what the SS
01:11:02.480
symbol meant. Then there were the old post where he downplayed sexual assault. It disturbed her
01:11:09.760
personally. She was running it. It disturbed her so deeply she quit. And here's those who are
01:11:19.140
desperate for power want you to skip past. After she left, she was offered $15,000 to sign a
01:11:27.820
non-disclosure agreement to go quiet. She, thank God, turned the money down. And when she watched
01:11:35.600
the giants of the progressive movement, Bernie Sanders among them, waved the whole thing away
01:11:40.940
with a shrug and a line about, you know, nobody's a saint. She wrote one sentence that I think is
01:11:47.080
the most honest sentence spoken in america politics this year we have learned to excuse
01:11:54.480
what we should condemn and then enough is enough so those two stories who this guy says he is
01:12:03.480
what she says he is hold these two stories in one hand okay at the same time now let me play a clip
01:12:10.080
of what democratic voters are saying cut five well i think candidly the democratic party has
01:12:17.500
come up short in a lot of ways in terms of like whitewashing our candidates and being so morally
01:12:23.020
elitist and kind of entitled at times we have to be willing to get dirty his baggage is nowhere
01:12:27.580
near their baggage we're talking about people that are felons and people that take bribes i
01:12:33.900
really kind of think that we all have skeletons in our closet and we've all made mistakes especially
01:12:39.900
when we're younger and that was really a refrain we heard time and time again it's kind of redemption
01:12:47.720
arc we can you know have faith and forgiveness uh stop stop we can have faith and forgiveness
01:12:56.520
let me ask this guy has not asked for forgiveness this guy has been denying all of these things
01:13:02.780
To give forgiveness, you have to have somebody who is looking for forgiveness.
01:13:16.100
How does the party that built its entire moral identity on three pillars,
01:13:21.780
fairness, ending racism, and believe all women,
01:13:26.140
line up to nominate a man accused of frightening women,
01:13:30.880
the women who loved him, a man who downplayed sexual assault, and a man wearing an SS image
01:13:40.720
from the most racist regime in human history. And then he lied about knowing what it was.
01:13:49.680
This is the hashtag Me Too party? This is the party that told us we should always listen to
01:13:56.340
women when they come forward this is the party that told us correctly symbols of hate are never
01:14:02.140
just symbols okay yeah but the senate seat is online those same people are looking at a nazi
01:14:13.700
tattoo and credible accusations for women who loved him worked for him and were frightened by
01:14:22.360
him. And the response is, well, I don't know too many saints. That's a problem. And that is a human
01:14:29.840
problem. This is not just a democratic problem. This is a human problem. It's going to come for
01:14:33.360
all of us if we let it. And here's the lie at the very center of it. The lie is this. The ends
01:14:41.360
justify the means. They don't. Well, yes, Glenn, we have to flip the Senate. We have to stop the
01:14:47.440
other guy. We have to save democracy. And if you have to swallow a Nazi tattoo and look away from
01:14:53.660
frightened women and offer a whistleblower hush money to do it, and that's just the cost of
01:14:59.680
winning and it's the winning that matters, well, I'm telling you, that's not how it works.
01:15:04.360
That's never been how it works. Because the ends don't justify the means. The means become the man.
01:15:12.420
the means make you into the very thing you set out to fight think about what you're actually doing
01:15:22.280
you pick up the cause of anti-racism and to keep their candidate they're now rationalizing an ss
01:15:31.500
symbol that the guy put on his body they picked up a cause of believing women and to keep their
01:15:40.220
candidate, they're now explaining away the women. Did you see how the New York Times treated these
01:15:45.840
whistleblowers? They pick up the banner of fairness and transparency. Democracy dies in the darkness.
01:15:53.180
They love to say that. But to keep their candidate, somebody reaches for an envelope with $15,000 in
01:16:00.560
it to buy somebody's silence. I don't know. That's not defeating darkness. That's becoming
01:16:35.020
and no for voting for somebody like this, and it's bigger than his communism, which is enough,
01:16:41.680
isn't it? Isn't it? It's bigger than his communism, bigger than the math on Medicare for All,
01:16:47.940
a plan that would cost the entire state budget. I mean, bigger than any single policy. It's bigger
01:16:53.480
than that. The real danger is not what he can do to the state or to the country. It's what he does
01:17:00.620
to you your own moral immune system because the first time you train yourself to excuse
01:17:08.620
in your guy what you would scream about in the other guy you haven't just made one exception
1.00
01:17:15.320
you've reset the floor and i can hear people right now i can hear them you are such a hypocrite
0.99
01:17:20.420
donald trump donald trump i spoke out about all of the things about donald trump
1.00
01:17:56.380
I know his children. I know the way he treats people. I know all of his co-workers. They don't walk away. They work for him forever. They don't walk away and say, the guy is doing this at night. The guy's got a Nazi tattoo.
01:18:14.220
too. You've told yourself your principles are all important. You've told us you got to live
0.75
01:18:23.300
by these principles. You force people, but they were never principles at all. They were just
01:18:27.800
weapons that you used when it was convenient. And you put those weapons down when it's not
01:18:34.720
convenient. That's not a principle. That's a weapon. And people who can't tell the difference
01:19:02.080
or we have to stop listening to these MAGA people.
01:19:11.320
what is your line if you don't know what your line is i won't vote for a nazi i won't do it
01:19:19.500
i won't do it i know that sounds crazy that i have to say that but for half the country
01:19:24.480
apparently you do have to say it i won't vote for a nazi won't do it i wouldn't have voted for
01:19:34.220
Robert Byrd. If you don't know who he was, old timey days in the 1990s, the Democrats voted for
01:19:43.100
he was a grand wizard or grand dragon or whatever the hell they are in the Klan. I wouldn't have
01:19:49.140
voted for him. This is the oldest trap in human history. Every moment, every movement in time
01:19:59.300
that has turned into a monstrous movement or moment
01:20:06.100
started out certain that they were the good guys.
0.80
01:20:11.100
The Bolsheviks were there to free the worker.
0.87
01:20:13.480
The terror in France was going to perfect liberty.
0.90
01:20:17.660
The cause was so righteous that the rules no longer applied to them.
01:20:21.540
And the cause is exactly what gave them permission
01:20:27.760
Show me a man who tells you the ends justify the means
01:20:31.100
and I will show you a man who is about to do something
01:20:50.660
She had every worldly reason to take the money and stay quiet.
1.00
01:20:58.480
She could have probably had a great, bright career with the Democratic Party.
0.98
01:21:04.320
She could have held up her own side, her own career, her own team shot at power.
01:21:10.800
And she looked at it and said, no, enough is enough.
01:21:14.200
And she walked into the daylight and told the truth about her own people.
01:21:24.020
that's what moral courage looks like that's the antidote not tribe over over truth but truth
01:21:35.520
so anyone in maine anyone anywhere who is about to step into the booth and you're telling yourself
01:21:44.280
that the cause is worth holding your nose on a guy with a nazi tattoo remember her
01:22:34.420
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
01:22:37.300
visited two of the residents who were caught in the attacks
01:22:47.880
both of them were in their homes when the drones struck
01:22:53.060
Both had every reason to live, but they're staying because it's their home.
01:22:57.940
Yelena spoke about her neighbors who looked after her and brought her the essentials and brought her meals.
01:23:02.780
Leon reflected on the strength that his father taught him to have during the Holocaust.
01:23:07.900
And through it all, the fellowship was there to provide the support and temporary housing and help them with the repairs.
01:23:14.060
While the repairs were made, somebody was there.
01:23:16.000
the people of Israel, reminding them that even in the midst of fear and uncertainty,
01:23:21.720
they're not alone. It's not going to happen again. There are people that will speak out
01:23:26.180
and will stand with them. As we celebrate our 250-year anniversary, the International Fellowship
01:23:32.600
of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship between Israel and the United States, two
01:23:37.440
democracies built on faith, liberty, hope. Both are the only two countries to ever make a covenant
01:23:44.160
with God, and they'd like to send you a flag pin, free USA Israel flag pin. You want to talk about
01:23:51.780
brave people, brave people wear one of those. Go online now, flagpinifcj.org, flagpinifcj.org.
01:24:01.040
Don't be afraid. Stand up for what you know is right. Stand for the Jewish people. Not, I don't
01:24:07.420
need to agree with everything they do in war i stand with the jewish people flagpin ifcj.org
01:24:37.420
All right. Coming up in just a minute, I'm going to talk to you about this Carmelo Anthony case.
01:24:49.880
You know, this is, it's a horrific case. In case you don't know, you know, they're not letting the
01:24:58.100
cameras inside the courtroom because it's just too much, but really, really. But things don't
01:25:05.960
look good for him and i want to explain what this story is really about next
01:25:10.480
turning 65 bad enough the constant stream of mailers and calls and ads that just never seem
01:25:18.420
to end about medicare horrible most of it just makes things more confusing and frankly much of
01:25:23.080
it is disinformation this is not a small decision this is your health care you want to see the right
01:25:27.920
doctors you want to get the care you need and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit you this is where
01:25:32.260
Chapter comes in. They look at your doctors, the prescriptions, your needs, and they'll help you
01:25:36.480
find a plan that is right for you and your unique needs. And over the last year, they have helped
01:25:40.800
people in this audience save real money just by finding better fitting plans. And sometimes it's
01:25:45.440
not about the money. It's about talking to somebody who actually cares and is listening and planning
01:25:50.460
things with you. There's a guy named Mark that called Chapter. Chapter stepped in, helped him
01:25:55.160
get the care he needed. He said they were absolutely spectacular. He's a member of this audience.
01:25:59.340
Give them a call. The call's free. They've helped thousands in this audience and they can help you too. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword chapter. That is pound 250, the keyword chapter. Make this time of your life the best chapter of your life.
01:26:14.220
When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination. It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours and the realization that neither of you is actually good with directions.
01:26:30.600
And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
01:26:36.740
Our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
01:27:36.260
hello America I've got a story here uh that I don't know if you're paying much attention to
01:27:44.600
you should we are repeating history over and over and over again it's time to break the cycle
01:27:49.220
I want to talk to you a little bit about um the killing of Austin Metcalf he was 17 year old
01:27:55.920
high school athlete and um somebody comes in uh carmelo anthony and the charge is that
01:28:03.760
in front of i think 19 witnesses he gets hostile pulls out a knife and stabs austin in the heart
01:28:11.440
i want to tell you this wasn't looking good for uh justice just a week ago and now the testimony
01:28:19.360
is coming out and it is looking really really bad for carmelo uh the alleged killer i want
01:28:24.960
want to tell you this story and what it means to our society and what we need to learn from it
01:28:30.560
finally and break this cycle. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, Patriot Mobile. Not every single
01:28:36.460
decision you make matters. It doesn't matter which brand of mustard you buy, I guess, unless
01:28:41.280
the money is going to the Communist Party. It probably doesn't matter what parking space you
01:28:45.580
choose unless it's handicapped and you're not handicapped. But there are decisions that extend
01:28:51.100
way beyond the moment that you make them. That's one of the reasons I appreciate Patriot Mobile.
01:28:56.000
At the end of the day, they provide a service that we all need. We all need a phone. We need
01:29:00.360
coverage. You need a network that actually works. But they also understand at Patriot Mobile that a
01:29:07.560
business can stand for something. And Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative
01:29:12.120
wireless provider. They support causes that defend faith and family, the sanctity of life,
01:29:17.720
constitutional rights that make this country worth defending. I know these guys. They love
01:29:23.680
the Constitution and they fight for it in their own lives. And some of their profits, they take
01:29:30.020
and apply to those kinds of things. They're a big supporter of Mercury One and the American
01:29:35.080
Journey Experience. They are trying to help us build this museum. I mean, they're really great
01:29:39.460
people. So you want to help them help you? Keep your phone, keep your number, get all the coverage
01:29:45.260

01:29:57.580
All right. I pray that you listen to this story and really listen, not just hear it, listen.
01:30:03.380
Because it is not just about one tragic day at a Texas track meet. It's about who we are as people
01:30:16.380
I knew when I sobered up that I knew who I wanted to be,
01:30:23.500
but all I was left with was who I allowed myself to become.
01:30:29.300
And I became that man with a series of small compromises.
01:30:34.220
And most people don't notice it until there's a problem in their life.
01:30:38.260
And then even then, I dismissed it a lot because I was like, how come these things keep happening to me?
01:30:44.360
Before I realized, wait a minute, maybe that's because life is trying to teach me something that I refuse to learn.
01:30:54.340
So I want to talk to you about who we're allowing ourselves to become.
01:31:03.540
And he was at a field event in Frisco, Texas, just outside of Dallas last April.
01:31:11.320
This kid comes in, wants to sit in this one area.
01:31:17.520
He was told, you can't sit here, blah, blah, blah.
01:31:21.420
The kid, 19 years old, his name is Carmelo Anthony.
01:31:25.280
He was asked by multiple witnesses, 19, leave the tent.
01:31:33.240
he swears at them he taunts them he reaches into his backpack backpack grabbing something
01:31:40.980
apparently and repeatedly saying you touch me and you just see what happens at one point he
01:31:46.980
pulls a knife out okay austin by all accounts stays calm not looking for a fight when anthony
01:31:56.280
pulls out a semi-serrated folding knife. He just turns around and he just dives it, drives it deep
01:32:04.320
into Austin's chest. Pierce's bone punctures his heart, a gaping fatal wound. Yesterday, the jurors
01:32:13.140
saw the autopsy foil of photos and some people gasped, put their hand, one woman put her hand
01:32:19.060
over her mouth oh my god it's horrible horrible anthony the accused just looked down he didn't
01:32:26.460
look at the photos that's what happened young life full of promise cut down in a moment of rage
01:32:34.040
another kid who had his whole life in front of him full of promise drives the knife into that kid
01:32:41.740
now he's standing trial for murder his claim is self-defense but it's completely falling apart
01:32:48.860
Witnesses, including some called by his own attorney,
01:32:55.900
Anthony as the aggressor, the defiant one, the threatening one,
01:33:01.520
Again, even witnessed, yesterday was a witness called by his own attorney.
01:33:10.040
Okay, so that's just the way things happen in court, okay?
01:33:13.240
And this is a story that men have been murdering men forever.
01:33:17.360
Let me show you what happens to this story and what is old, but also new that needs to be changed.
01:33:25.740
What happens when that story hits the wider world?
01:33:29.400
Well, there are people that don't want you to see the truth.
01:33:35.500
They want you to see not the dead boy and the knife and even the testimony.
01:33:46.260
They want you to see a black defendant and a white victim.
0.98
01:33:52.160
I want to play two pieces of audio here that came out yesterday.
0.91
01:33:56.000
The first one is not his mother, but a black mother.
01:34:00.940
She says this about her standing at the courthouse watching this whole thing.
01:34:08.100
If evidence does come out that Carmelo was not, in fact, fighting for his life when he stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf,
01:34:14.180
Do you think that the black community will accept that?
0.90
01:34:17.920
If evidence shows that he did not, no, we're going to stand by ours regardless.
01:34:29.500
So I have to put away my color first and step into the motherhood.
01:34:37.620
So I do want to send prayers to Austin Metcalf, their family.
01:35:18.100
I can't even make heads or tails of that, okay?
01:35:21.180
If it was proven he was not defending himself, but he was the aggressor,
01:35:26.260
she says, yes, because of race, I will stand with him because they stand by theirs.
01:35:33.200
My mother would have said, if everybody's jumping off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge?
01:35:40.840
Now, this is what a mom should do to some degree in this way.
0.71
01:35:45.780
A mom or a dad, I've told my kids, I don't care what you do in your life.
01:35:52.840
What that means at the extreme example, the extremes, is my daughter goes out and does what Anthony Carmelo is alleged to have done.
01:36:10.160
I don't defend her, but I love her and I'm with her.
01:36:15.820
But you cannot expect society to change if you don't hold, you know, she says, we got to stand by our kids.
01:36:23.280
We stay by our kids' side just as God stays by our side when we screw up.
01:36:33.920
And if you don't get it here on earth, you're going to get it with him.
01:36:36.100
so we look to our heavenly father and say how would he deal with it well he would not abandon us
01:36:42.960
he would not disown us he would love us he would counsel us he would see to the punishment but he
01:36:50.480
would do it with love and he would always be there that's our responsibility as a parent
01:36:55.880
now let me show you a minister and what he said listen to this cut seven i come out here every
01:37:01.920
Thursday and we pray for people going to court because this, we know this is the final frontier
01:37:08.340
of racism and it's legalized here. It was announced yesterday that there's no black
0.56
01:37:14.520
jurors that were chosen. What are your thoughts on that? That's why we need God.
01:37:20.980
That's why we need God. And that's why he's going to show who's in control.
01:37:27.380
And would you be open to giving us your personal insights into the Carmelo Anthony trial and what
01:37:31.740
your thoughts are on it um i just want justice done you know we know okay stop nope okay stop
01:37:40.880
so he just wants to but this is the this is where this is all about race he starts it there it's all
01:37:46.940
about race now i believe he's got a good heart i just think he is misguided if i understand him
01:37:53.740
correctly he's misguided here because people want you to believe that this is just an endless
01:38:01.260
American morality play of systemic racism over and over again. They want you to ignore that
01:38:07.660
Anthony was asked to leave 15 times, that he put his hand into the bag and dared them.
01:38:13.840
He said, I'm not leaving. F you all. They want outrage. They don't want evidence. Division,
01:38:22.140
not truth. We have to love him, Carmelo. We have to. We as people, and it's easy for us to be hard
01:38:33.180
for the family, but we as people have to forgive him. But there must be justice. And look at how
01:38:39.680
the press just plays along. No blacks on the jury. As if justice requires a racial quota.
0.92
01:38:46.640
here's what they left out there are minorities on that jury it's not all white people
01:38:52.100
there's just not black minorities okay and the one prospective juror who was black who got herself
01:38:59.900
disqualified how was it because she was because the the uh uh prosecution was racist no can you
0.58
01:39:09.620
be fair can you be blind as a juror and she said i don't think i could put another brother in jail
01:39:16.080
if he's guilty. Well, then you can't be on the jury. She removed herself because she couldn't
01:39:24.320
promise fairness. That's not the system. Failing, that is a human being in a moment of honesty
1.00
01:39:31.220
admitting she couldn't live up to the blindfold, and so the system worked. And a jury of your
01:39:37.220
peers doesn't mean people who look like you. It never has. It does mean this. Citizens who can
01:39:45.100
set aside their bias racial political cultural and weigh the evidence with integrity this has
01:39:53.360
been hard for whites to judge blacks and blacks to judge whites but that's what it requires if
01:39:58.400
you're on a jury now perhaps we think that the juror needs to look like us because we don't think
0.96
01:40:04.440
the people of other color hold the same values and that is terrifying if that is true and these
01:40:10.620
these voices here that i just played for you make me think that is true but that can't be fixed by
0.99
01:40:17.920
putting more whites or blacks or you know anybody based on race in the jury box that's only fixed
01:40:25.520
when we all understand and hold the same same self-evident truths we need jurors in every case
01:40:35.880
who can see the defendant as a man and not a symbol.
01:40:41.500
We are judging the individual, not the symbols, not culture,
01:40:48.340
That is the American promise, and it is imperfectly kept.
01:41:02.560
oj simpson walked free not because the church the jury believed he was innocent they said that at
01:41:10.080
the time but later in interviews years later they've all admitted it they wanted to send a
01:41:15.980
message to the man to stick it to the system they played politics with a murder trial
01:41:22.640
years later some of them express regrets because the blood on those gloves told its story and they
01:41:30.940
knew it but they wanted to make a political point at the time and so they let a killer go free
01:41:37.200
we always get in trouble when we turn a courtroom into a billboard for our grievances instead of a
01:41:47.320
sanctuary for truth i want fair trials i want if the if the evidence shows that this is not the
01:41:56.640
story that I just told you, then he should go free, but not because of something political or racial.
01:42:04.760
Moral boundaries of our society are cracking, and they're cracking because we are prioritizing
01:42:10.580
the narrative over reality. It's amazing. They're trying to destroy our story of who we actually are
01:42:17.260
and replace it with a story of who we should never, ever become. When we teach young people
01:42:23.580
that justice is about racial score settling
0.67
01:42:27.660
when we allow race hustlers to poison the well,
1.00
01:42:42.580
and it's all dressed up in modern university language,
0.62
01:42:51.480
who bled for a system where the arc bends towards justice, not vengeance.
01:42:57.980
The American justice system is supposed to be blind.
01:43:21.480
That's why our founders said a more perfect nation.
01:43:23.740
We are gathered to build a more perfect nation.
01:43:37.440
The temptation, send a strong message, is so strong.
01:43:43.380
this message that needs to be said is this kind of crime,
01:43:49.640
That's the only message. You get justice for the family of the person that was hurt or abused or
01:43:57.120
killed. You then try to teach this person a lesson that that is outside of polite society. You have
01:44:03.520
no place doing this in society, so cool off, think about it, and try to reform yourself.
01:44:09.520
And then the third is a message to those who want to commit these crimes. Don't do it,
01:44:44.260
That's the American way, the way all men are created equal,
01:44:48.080
the way of a republic that dares to say character and content matter more than the color of your skin.
01:44:56.640
Austin didn't deserve to die in a seat in a tent.
01:45:01.140
And Carmelo deserves a fair trial, truly fair, without the circus.
01:45:05.500
And you and America deserve better than to let another generation be taught that justice is whatever serves the narrative.
01:45:12.620
Stand firm, demand the truth, reject the easy tribalism.
01:45:17.520
Because if we lose the blindfold, we lose everything worth preserving.
01:45:30.580
If history ever called our number, we'd answer.
01:45:35.340
If there are people in need, we're there to help them.
01:45:42.540
If there's something important to be done, we find the courage to do it.
01:45:47.220
The truth is that you often don't get those kinds of moments.
01:45:52.260
You usually don't find yourself standing in the middle of a disaster zone.
01:45:55.240
We don't get the chance to personally deliver relief supplies or build a community that's lost everything.
01:46:00.560
But what we do is get the opportunity to make sure that somebody does.
01:46:04.840
And that's the reason I'm so proud of Mercury One.
01:46:08.680
If we can't be there, we support the people who are there.
01:46:12.160
And I've watched this organization where the need was the greatest,
01:46:15.600
whether it was during a natural disaster or a humanitarian crisis
01:46:18.620
or a community that had just been forgotten by everybody else
01:46:21.440
in the aftermath of chaos, they're there every time.
01:46:29.660
Give $15 or more and join our rescue team, will you?
01:46:34.320
keeps boots on the ground, ready to go at a moment's notice.
01:46:58.220
I am trying really hard not to just be another voice in the noise.
01:47:04.240
I'm trying really hard to make sure that I show you why stories matter
01:47:10.180
and show you the principles that we need to return to to be able to fix the problem.
01:47:15.880
And I'm trying really super hard not to be partisan about it,
01:47:19.300
but to reach out to as many people who are willing to listen to see if there's another way.
01:47:30.740
And I would ask that you would join us on this journey with Torch by becoming a Torch member.

01:50:08.380
i want to show you a new uh study that just came out from uh elon university here we are at our
01:50:18.660
250 and we look at we look at our country and we we think we uh we all kind of feel the same
01:50:30.060
at least we used to i i am i find it harder and harder every day to think that my friends who
01:50:37.360
don't vote the way I do, that they're Democrats, that they feel the same love of country. And
01:50:42.720
this is not going to help that. 55% of Democrats, so that's more than half now, told pollsters that
01:50:52.100
there is another country on earth that they would rather live in than the United States.
01:50:58.720
So more than half are willing to say, I'd live in England. I'd rather live in England than here.
01:51:05.800
74 percent say america has failed to live up to its own founding ideals that one i can kind of
01:51:13.320
understand because i could say that too yeah we we have work to do i'm not sure that's what they're
01:51:18.660
saying they they are saying that it's failed yes it has and there's a lot of work to do but there's
01:51:26.020
a way to fix it now the reaction that is rolling in you know obviously comes from my side of the
0.99
01:51:33.460
aisle uh and you know it's like don't let the door hit you in the ass uh you know we'll buy the
0.98
01:51:38.080
ticket six months rent one way just renounce your citizenship on the way out and i really understand
0.95
01:51:43.880
that and i kind of i mean i do feel the same way i do feel the same way but it's it's not the right
01:51:49.120
impulse you know if somebody is telling you because we've had our kids you know i just i
01:51:53.880
hate it here there's too many rules or there's this blah blah blah and you're a dictator whatever
0.94
01:51:58.560
they say to you and you're so tempted to say then get the hell out get the hell out you're
01:52:03.280
going to see how easy life is when you're out on your own okay but that is not the answer it's not
01:52:09.120
right with our kids and it's not right here america her answer is not a plane ticket but it is a check
01:52:16.500
hear me out on this it is a check let me take you back to august 28th 1963 guy stands up steps
01:52:23.660
the lincoln memorial quarter of a million people there and understand the country he's standing in
01:52:28.660
in 1963 black americans are being beaten for trying to vote children have fire hoses turned
01:52:37.300
on to them men are being lynched and the murderers are walking free if anyone on this continent ever
01:52:43.800
had a right to say to stand up in front of it and say this country is a fraud these documents are a
01:52:50.260
lie i'd literally rather be anywhere else it was martin luther king okay and the people who lived
01:52:55.440
at that time and people were telling him black panthers that's what they were telling him to say
01:53:00.900
he said no that's not the answer listen there were voices in his own movement saying the whole
01:53:08.940
american project is rotten to the root and it always has been the constitution was a slave
01:53:14.500
holders agreement and parchment that that is the only honest response uh to you know to fix it is
0.96
01:53:22.680
to burn it down. Well, King didn't do that. He did the opposite. He did the American thing.
01:53:28.640
He reached for the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and he held them up over
01:53:33.960
his head, and he called them a promissory note. It's what I try to do every day, and I want you
01:53:40.500
to do. This is the solution to our problems. He said the men who built this republic signed a
01:53:47.400
promise, even if they didn't live up to it, every one of them. And every single American, every
01:53:52.740
single one would be guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And then he said
01:53:58.920
something extraordinary. He said America had handed the black man a bad check, a check that
0.79
01:54:07.700
was marked insufficient funds that came back. Now stop and feel what he could have done there.
01:54:18.980
He could have said that promise is worthless, but he didn't.
01:54:24.120
He said he refused to believe that the Bank of Justice was bankrupt.
01:54:30.260
He didn't come to Washington to renounce the founding.
01:54:41.960
he said the promise was good and the payment was overdue that was the entire ball game that's why
01:54:49.400
martin luther king changed the world and that is the difference between 1963 and 2026 because king
01:54:57.220
held america to its documents you cannot you can speak to my side with the documents i don't think
01:55:04.120
you can speak to the other side with the documents but you can speak to my side with the documents
01:55:07.560
because we still believe in them the loudest critics today say the documents are the problem
01:55:13.920
and that is that's why they don't embrace martin luther king anymore they're polar opposites
01:55:19.360
king said the promise is real so pay it today they say the promise is fraudulent so what's the point
01:55:28.160
of staying or living within the system do you see the trap in the second one if the documents are
01:55:36.220
the disease, then there is no cure to be found inside the house. There's no way out except the
01:55:43.180
exit door or the match. You've defined your own country as a thing that cannot be fixed,
01:55:52.280
only run away from or burned. But if the documents are the promise, then you don't leave,
01:55:59.580
you collect and here's the part i would love for the 55 to actually sit with
01:56:07.240
because i still need to believe that they're not bad people
01:56:12.160
that they they can find the appreciation for this country i don't think their unhappiness is fake
01:56:22.120
I think some of it is self-fulfilling prophecy because they have so twisted what it all means.
01:56:30.340
But, you know, there is real injustice in the world.
01:56:40.520
Never too afraid to say, yeah, there's bad things that our country has done and is doing.
01:56:46.320
some of what they feel is something older and quieter i think
01:56:53.240
alec de toqueville he saw all of this coming coming towards us way back in 1840 he looked
01:57:02.460
at america and he said there's soft despotism not jack book boot not a dictator something gentler
01:57:10.680
I'm wildly paraphrasing here but he said it's a mild master that takes you into its hands and
01:57:17.360
covers the whole society with a web of small complicated endless little rules that it doesn't
01:57:24.600
it's not tyranny per se it's management it hinders you it wears you down until a free people just
01:57:32.320
quietly become in his word a flock of timid and industrious animals and the government is the
01:57:38.840
shepherd. And if you know history, you know this system has a name and it is not American
01:57:44.980
constitutionalism. In fact, if you understand history, the history that the powerful on both
01:57:50.980
sides of our political aisle, Republicans and Democrat, I hope you never hear
01:57:55.480
and they hope you never realize they're actually on the same team.
01:58:02.120
But one side of the aisle is just incompetent and the other side is using that machinery to
01:58:08.660
convince you that the tools to free yourself are lies. Again, learn history. This is all foretold.
01:58:17.480
We've gone through this over and over and over again, and we were all warned about it long ago
01:58:21.280
to Tocqueville. He said this kind of servitude could grow up in the very shadow of the people's
01:58:28.000
own sovereignty. He was implying you'll vote for it. You'll ask for it. You'll trade your liberty
01:58:34.100
for a little security and a little largesse taken from your neighbor and you'll call it progress
01:58:40.340
and you'll never notice the leash that is going on and snapping on around your neck
01:58:45.380
that's a country that people could be miserable in that's a country that people might want to flee
01:58:52.540
the cruel joke is that nearly every country on the menu you'd flee to has a lot more of that
01:59:00.660
not less. You don't escape soft despotism by emigrating toward it. So what's the antidote?
01:59:08.560
It's the document that nobody is talking about. 237 years ago, James Madison stood up in the
01:59:15.740
first Congress and introduced the Bill of Rights. Madison built it for one specific job, to protect
01:59:22.080
the one against the many, to stop a majority at any level of government from voting itself
01:59:30.820
ownership over you, your property, your speech, and your life, the Constitution, and then later
01:59:36.300
the Bill of Rights. He watched majorities in the states crush religious dissenters. He said never
01:59:42.400
again. We're going to bind every government in the country to protect the individual, and that
01:59:49.800
is the tool that frederick douglas picked up that's the tool that king picked up when the
01:59:55.260
majority had failed him he didn't appeal to a foreign flag he appealed to the promise the
02:00:00.880
majority had signed and broken and he demanded america honor it so here's the way out and it's
02:00:07.560
a real one not a gloating one to the more than half of the american people who sadly say they
02:00:16.700
would rather be somewhere else. I'm not going to buy you a ticket. I think that's beneath the
02:00:22.320
country, and I think it shows that don't take you seriously, but I do. Instead, I would like to hand
02:00:30.820
you a piece of paper, the same piece of paper that King held up on those steps. If you think
02:00:37.400
America broke its promise to you, I agree. I don't know if I agree on the same things, but
02:00:43.660
You might be right on your thing on any given day about some specific thing.
02:00:56.140
What did Martin Luther King do in the last century with that exact grievance?
02:01:02.140
He walked up to the Bank of Justice with the founder's own signature in his hand,
02:01:41.460
but it's also made out in your name and it always has been more in a minute
02:01:51.040
two types of people in the world those who walk into a bedroom put their head down on a pillow
02:01:57.480
and be asleep 30 seconds later and i hate those people there are those apparently that require
02:02:03.180
you know 37 step preparation rituals i'm more in that one the thing that's always frustrating
02:02:10.240
about a good night's sleep is how effortless sleep looks for other people when you don't have it
02:02:14.000
yourself and when you know when you do have it you never think about it and when you don't it's the
02:02:19.360
only thing you can think about that's why i'm a big fan of z factor it is a sleep supplement from
