The Glenn Beck Program - What Everybody Is Missing in the Karmelo Anthony Trial ｜ Guest： Carla Sumarriva ｜ 6⧸9⧸26

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.

00:00:30.660 Their cotton is grown here.

00:00:32.340 Their clothes are cut and sewn here.

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.

00:00:44.760 Buy American.

00:01:51.660 We'll be right back.

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

00:04:44.900 ultimate responsibility for just $28.

00:04:48.080 You can sponsor an ultrasound through a pre through pre-born and help

00:04:52.380 expectant parents,

00:04:54.000 both mom and dad see a future filled with life and compassion and the hope of

00:04:57.800 God's love to donate,

00:04:59.300 just dial pound two 50,

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?

00:09:10.820 That's a crime against the republic.

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

00:10:29.580 if Kamala Harris would have won?

00:10:31.040 You tell me.

00:10:32.940 Look at what this guy was doing.

00:10:35.840 Look at what he was willing to do

00:10:37.840 to protect himself.

00:10:42.460 First thing,

00:10:43.860 none of this would have seen the light of day.

00:10:45.880 All of this would have remained covered.

00:10:48.860 Tim Walsh would have been vice president

00:10:50.460 sitting right there in the White House

00:10:51.960 with all of the machinery

00:10:53.780 of the federal government behind him.

00:10:56.500 Imagine the same corruption.

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?

00:11:09.340 It would have been catastrophic.

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.

00:11:23.400 The lies deeper, the grip tighter.

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

00:12:32.640 This is spiritual darkness

00:12:38.040 Idols of power

00:12:41.520 Idols of political survival

00:12:45.020 Over truth and stewardship

00:12:48.320 This is bad

00:12:50.660 And it happens in history

00:12:52.020 Empires, they always fall from the inside

00:12:55.220 Not from the outside

00:12:57.120 Leaders who forgot that they were servants

00:13:00.420 Not masters

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

00:13:53.380 Eventually, the truth comes out.

00:13:56.640 And to every leader, fear justice.

00:14:06.120 Fear God, not the mob.

00:14:11.900 Honor your oath, or you will be exposed.

00:14:15.960 to those who are going to try to take this and cover this up.

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

00:14:29.680 because come hell or high water,

00:14:32.000 the American people are not going to take it much longer.

00:14:37.460 We're not going to have you steal from us

00:14:40.900 while we're trying to feed our children.

00:14:43.340 you're stealing from us we're the ones working we pay your salary and you're stealing from us

00:14:53.260 i'm telling you when the american people ruin that really truly connects and they 1.00

00:14:58.560 stop playing stupid politics you are in trouble my friend stop playing this game 1.00

00:15:35.020 the God of truth or the failing gods of this age

00:15:39.460 because only one of them is going to stand.

00:15:42.380 The gates of hell are raging right now.

00:15:45.080 They're not going to prevail

00:15:46.020 because good always wins in the end.

00:15:50.060 Even if I don't see it in my lifetime,

00:15:52.940 good will win in the end.

00:15:57.240 Darkness will not conquer us

00:16:00.920 if we stand as free men and women.

00:17:38.900 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.

00:18:29.100 I don't know.

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

00:18:50.020 It's despicable.

00:18:52.420 So what is the answer?

00:18:55.760 It's the founding principles.

00:18:58.200 That's all it is.

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

00:19:29.880 Try it.

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.

00:19:40.180 You'll find it every time.

00:19:41.760 I've done it for years.

00:19:42.640 You'll find it every time.

00:19:44.760 The problem is we don't know.

00:19:48.120 We have no idea what those principles are.

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

00:22:12.260 be like freedom of religion press and they'll sing through it and they'll remember what the

00:25:48.580 there you go um now you find it by the way at uh torch 250 torch 250 now let me go to jason bring

00:25:57.040 jason in because jason um there's a couple of things that are driving me out of my ever loving

00:26:05.000 mind first of all let me uh let me go to um let me go to the sod here let me see if i can find it

00:26:13.260 here the sound that we got yesterday let me see if i can find it where's our gubernatorial candidate

00:26:23.280 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.

00:27:40.380 By hand.

00:27:41.800 By hand.

00:27:42.960 And it will be counted.

00:27:44.280 That's how insane this system is.

00:27:48.300 Okay.

00:27:49.460 This is, so you know, you say fraud.

00:27:52.840 Fraud's happening, fraud's happening.

00:27:53.780 No, a lot of it is legal.

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.

00:28:59.080 And that was the tipping point, the final key,

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.

00:29:25.600 We both know him, a friend of ours.

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

00:34:36.380 Print the number.

00:34:38.700 I mean, you can't print the ballots if you don't know what you're aiming for.

00:34:43.500 Can you now?

00:34:45.080 I bet you if you could keep that number safe on election night,

00:34:50.460 they would go out of their mind.

00:34:54.780 If you could say the federal government,

00:34:56.220 the only job the federal government's going to do is just keep the tallies.

00:34:59.820 Keep it completely safe.

00:35:00.980 Or better yet, Pricewaterhouse, because they have a reputation.

00:35:04.760 If Price Waterhouse leaks that,

00:35:07.240 Price Waterhouse would lose all of its clients

00:35:09.760 all over the country.

00:35:11.200 You'd know you can't trust them.

00:35:14.100 And so they would go out of business.

00:35:15.600 So they'd actually protect it.

00:35:17.580 If the government was doing it,

00:35:19.360 somebody would just, you know,

00:35:20.740 somebody would squeal

00:35:22.100 because nobody's going to pay a price for that.

00:35:23.840 Price Waterhouse would.

00:35:26.460 So why don't you get that, California?

00:35:28.620 Why don't you do that?

00:35:29.940 I can guarantee you that no one in California,

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

00:35:58.800 make that one change. Guarantee it.

00:36:03.240 You've got to ask yourself why, don't you?

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

00:36:13.660 in Iraq quickly, just so we can

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

00:38:39.240 we'll be right back.

00:38:53.280 Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.

00:38:57.040 We lock the doors, we install the cameras,

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.

00:39:04.420 It is actually called home title fraud

00:39:06.400 and it's exactly what it sounds like.

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.

00:40:31.280 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.

00:42:58.020 So what does he know?

00:43:01.920 Yeah, I don't know.

00:43:04.300 I think this is a much longer conversation about what we're expecting to get out of this.

00:43:08.900 Maybe we can have that.

00:43:09.660 Yeah, we have to have that conversation because I'm bothered by the, what was it, home run deal?

00:43:18.000 Is that what they called it?

00:43:18.920 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.

00:43:29.900 Are we moving the Overton window?

00:43:32.400 I'm not sure.

00:43:33.460 But hopefully a deal can be made.

00:43:36.540 Let's hope and pray.

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.

00:43:54.460 In fact, it's a real problem.

00:43:55.980 There are more of those than you think.

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.

00:44:09.960 There is a tool for this.

00:44:11.000 It's the burner launcher.

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.

00:44:25.480 My kids carry them in their backpacks.

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.

00:45:56.760 It's such a non-story.

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.

00:46:07.740 It's been leaking.

00:46:08.960 It's bad.

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

00:46:36.040 A reflection usually of the sky.

00:46:38.940 The sky is blue.

00:46:40.000 So when you add a little blue into the reflecting pool,

00:46:43.100 you know, into the tile, it just looks great.

00:46:45.640 It looks tremendous.

00:46:46.600 Nobody thought it could be done.

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.

00:46:57.660 Listen to this.

00:46:58.500 I would have preferred to keep it like it was. 1.00

00:47:00.580 It's an incredibly stupid idea. 0.99

00:47:02.560 I'm delighted that it's still reflecting. 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.

00:47:29.100 I think it's disgusting. 1.00

00:47:30.800 I think he should be shot. 1.00

00:47:32.980 They are so crazy. 1.00

00:47:35.680 There is no common sense anymore.

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.

00:47:47.500 It's clear.

00:47:49.240 One kept having to be fixed.

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.

00:49:54.960 The summer of 250 is what we're calling it.

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.

00:50:11.360 It is so sad and so stunning.

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.

00:51:44.420 Tomorrow.

00:51:45.780 Tomorrow.

00:51:46.540 It's two full seasons of the American story,

00:51:49.440 and we start at the very beginning. 0.98

00:51:50.980 We start with Columbus and the Pilgrims coming over,

00:51:54.740 why they came over, what that was like.

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

00:52:31.820 Yeah, okay.

00:52:32.740 Thank you, Ricky.

00:52:34.620 The one episode had 400 different tracks on it,

00:52:41.180 which is movie-like.

00:52:43.020 These are epic in the storytelling.

00:52:45.440 If I would have learned history this way,

00:52:47.320 I would have known it and would have loved it since I was a kid.

00:52:50.540 Also, we have Chasing Embers,

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.

00:53:17.520 and the first of 10 original songs

00:53:20.600 to teach the 10 amendments,

00:53:23.220 the first 10 amendments,

00:53:24.260 the Bill of Rights comes out today

00:53:26.640 along with a lesson plan

00:53:28.520 so you can help your kids understand

00:53:31.000 and it's not like schoolwork.

00:53:34.200 This is designed,

00:53:35.700 you can make it like schoolwork

00:53:37.040 if that's what you want,

00:53:38.020 if you're a homeschooler,

00:53:39.080 but it's also just to have conversations

00:53:41.100 with your kids on the Bill of Rights.

00:53:43.980 So let me play the full song.

00:53:45.840 This is not AI.

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.

00:54:06.080 Can you do it?

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,

00:54:13.680 they'll know the five freedoms.

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

00:54:37.500 It's not just history

00:54:39.860 It's something that we use

00:54:43.520 So let's count the five big freedoms

00:54:46.400 We're allowed to choose

00:54:48.520 So turn it up, say it loud

00:54:51.260 These are rights we should be proud of now

00:54:54.380 Freedom of religion

00:54:58.980 I can choose what I believe

00:55:00.940 Freedom of speech

00:55:01.780 Say my first song is lead

00:55:03.540 Freedom of the press

00:55:04.540 I'll print the truth, let it flow

00:55:06.260 Live to assemble

00:55:07.360 Meet in peace, let them know

00:55:09.260 Yeah, we get to disagree

00:55:11.740 Ask the government to change things

00:55:13.780 Not believe us

00:55:15.200 Five in the first, five in the first one

00:55:17.700 Five in the first, five in the first one

00:55:20.960 It doesn't mean be rude

00:55:24.260 It doesn't mean be mean

00:55:27.620 It means your voice can matter

00:55:30.120 In the way you speak and read

00:55:32.800 From YouTube to your front lawn

00:55:36.920 From a protest to a song

00:55:39.340 The First Amendment's there

00:55:41.920 So your voice can remain strong

00:55:44.840 So write it down, make a sound

00:55:46.640 Five freedom circle round us now

00:55:49.520 Freedom of religion

00:55:51.600 I can choose what I believe

00:55:53.580 Freedom of speech

00:55:54.420 Say my thoughts honestly

00:55:56.100 Freedom of the press

00:55:57.200 I'll print the truth, let it flow

00:55:58.940 Into a sample

00:55:59.980 Meeting peace, let them know

00:56:01.880 Yeah, we get to disagree

00:56:04.400 Ask the government to change things

00:56:06.440 I believe that's five in the first, five in the first one

00:56:10.360 Five in the first, five in the first one

00:56:13.660 But who, what would happen if we ever lose

00:56:19.600 The basic right to choose

00:56:22.400 What makes us, me and you

00:56:25.040 And that is why the founders all agreed

00:56:30.380 To last for centuries

00:56:32.800 We were gonna need 0.98

00:56:36.660 Freedom of religion

00:56:38.700 I can choose what I believe

00:56:40.460 Freedom of speech

00:56:41.520 I'll say my thoughts on his lead

00:56:47.040 Meet in peace, let them know

00:56:48.980 Any petition

00:56:49.780 Now we're here to disagree

00:56:51.640 As the government of change things

00:56:53.500 And I believe

00:56:54.460 There's a five in the first

00:56:55.960 Five in the first one

00:56:57.420 Five in the first

00:56:58.700 Five in the first 0.65

00:56:59.800 Freedom of religion

00:57:00.860 I can choose what I believe in speech

00:57:03.680 I say my first time is the name of the press

00:57:06.440 With the truth, let it flow into a symbol

00:57:09.240 Immediate peace, let them know

00:57:11.120 Intention, we're here to disagree

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

00:57:19.580 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.

00:57:37.000 You get your music.

00:57:37.920 It'll also be on Spotify.

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,

00:57:55.680 you can listen to these things.

00:57:57.000 You can have these conversations.

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

00:58:20.120 to be able to teach these things

00:58:23.720 and to leave the legacy of a group of people,

00:58:28.340 kids mainly, that know the truth about our country

00:58:32.720 and the history, and they learned it well.

00:58:36.800 So we use Torch members kind of like guinea pigs at times.

00:58:43.860 And I released some of this stuff early

00:58:46.880 to a few Torch members who are homeschoolers

00:58:50.160 because I wanted to see what they thought

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.

00:58:57.600 I will be, by the way, tip,

00:59:00.760 but I'm hiring somebody

00:59:03.960 who can run our education department soon.

00:59:06.680 And so we're kind of just bluffing and doing it ourselves.

00:59:09.180 So we're relying on people who homeschool.

00:59:12.840 And I want you to be a part of that.

00:59:14.340 So go to torch250.com if you're not a member.

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

01:00:09.220 an easy solution.

01:00:10.720 It's relief factor.

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.

01:01:02.340 So we had an insider get-together,

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?

01:01:28.020 She was at that, and she said, yeah.

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?

01:01:37.160 Carla's with us now. 0.99

01:01:38.580 Carla, you have three girls, right?

01:01:41.260 Yes.

01:01:42.720 Can you introduce them for me?

01:01:44.620 Sure.

01:01:45.200 This is Daniela.

01:01:47.060 She is 13 and I have Camila here to my right.

01:01:51.580 She is 12 and I have a little one.

01:01:55.160 She's, she's with daddy somewhere.

01:01:56.600 So we'll see how long he'll, he'll keep her.

01:01:58.700 He'll keep her back.

01:02:00.460 Okay.

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

01:02:07.700 Correct.

01:02:08.180 Correct.

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.

01:02:42.600 So here we are.

01:02:44.840 So,

01:02:45.420 um,

01:02:46.000 you know,

01:02:46.300 my goal is to be able,

01:02:48.080 and this is our first attempt.

01:02:49.480 So please go gentle.

01:02:51.380 Um,

01:02:51.780 but,

01:02:52.480 uh,

01:02:53.200 my goal is to be able to have a,

01:02:56.500 a history curriculum that is,

01:02:59.100 is augmenting what you do to be able to help you,

01:03:02.940 um,

01:03:03.880 teach history,

01:03:05.080 American history,

01:06:07.160 Thank you, Daniela, Camila.

01:06:11.620 We'll talk again.

01:06:24.000 In my life, I've tried my hand

01:06:25.240 at a lot of different business ventures.

01:06:27.140 Some worked out, others.

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.

01:07:19.500 So we went out, we found him.

01:07:20.840 We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:07:24.680 And we've got this down for you.

01:07:26.180 If you're looking for a real estate agent, somebody will listen to you, work for you, serve you.

01:07:30.940 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

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.

01:08:39.100 That's enough to throw me off the path.

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.

01:08:48.860 He is a regular guy, anti-establishment.

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.

01:09:02.580 So not the average guy.

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.

01:13:09.860 He's not. He's denying.

01:13:13.760 Let me ask you this.

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

01:16:06.800 a franchise of darkness.

01:16:11.240 Here's the problem.

01:16:12.840 When you set out to slay a dragon,

01:16:16.740 if you live your life one excuse at a time,

01:16:21.140 nobody's a saint,

01:16:22.640 you will wake up before very long

01:16:25.220 and notice, oh my gosh, I have scales.

01:16:28.000 You're the dragon.

01:16:31.340 That's the warning that everyone should hear

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

01:17:26.500 I spoke out about all of them

01:17:30.520 I continue to speak out

01:17:32.500 About the things that bother me

01:17:34.360 About Donald Trump

01:17:35.440 I don't blindly accept them

01:17:37.860 I just don't buy the fact

01:17:46.740 That you think he's such a horrible guy

01:17:49.180 I don't buy it

01:17:50.960 I know him personally

01:17:52.700 You don't so I can excuse you

01:17:55.000 I know him personally

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

01:18:41.320 between a principle and a weapon

01:18:43.200 is a people who will follow anyone,

01:18:46.220 anywhere, into anything.

01:18:48.680 Let me ask you, if it's all, if it's,

01:18:52.220 if he starts to say, you know what,

01:18:54.340 we need to round people up. 0.55

01:18:56.300 He's got the Nazi tattoo.

01:18:58.920 He's got, we got to round people up. 1.00

01:19:00.520 We got to stop listening to Israel

01:19:02.080 or we have to stop listening to these MAGA people.

01:19:04.080 We need re-education camps.

01:19:06.420 Will you follow him there 0.99

01:19:07.800 because the ends justify the means?

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

01:20:16.620 Everybody believed.

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

01:20:24.740 to become everything they claimed they hated.

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

01:20:34.060 he would have called evil a year ago.

01:20:41.280 I don't want to end with a villain here.

01:20:43.700 I want to tell you a story of a hero

01:20:45.360 because there is a hero and it's a Democrat.

01:20:48.300 Geneve MacDonald, a Democrat. 1.00

01:20:50.660 She had every worldly reason to take the money and stay quiet. 1.00

01:20:55.960 She could have taken the $15,000. 0.99

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.

01:21:18.480 That is a Democrat I love.

01:21:21.960 That is a Democrat I celebrate.

01:21:24.020 that's what moral courage looks like that's the antidote not tribe over over truth but truth

01:21:32.060 especially when it costs your tribe

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

01:21:52.400 Remember that the ends never justify the means

01:21:56.560 The means

01:21:58.900 Are the only thing you actually

01:22:02.460 Get to keep

01:22:03.800 You own them in the end

01:22:06.620 Your means, that's your character 0.62

01:22:09.160 They become your party 0.60

01:22:12.420 They become your country 0.99

01:22:14.140 Choose them like your soul depends on it 0.99

01:22:18.300 Because I have news for you

01:22:20.880 It does

01:22:22.260 more in a minute

01:22:25.020 recently after Hezbollah drone attacks

01:22:30.940 damaged homes in northern Israel

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

01:22:40.080 one of them is an 86 year old man named Leon

01:22:42.760 he's a holocaust survivor

01:22:44.860 the other is a woman named Yelena

01:22:47.880 both of them were in their homes when the drones struck

01:22:51.280 Both of them saw their homes damaged.

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

01:24:37.420 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

01:27:29.100 and empowerment this is the Glenn Beck program

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

01:29:57.580 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

01:30:11.220 and what we're allowing ourselves to become.

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.

01:30:50.520 The problem is not other people.

01:30:52.200 The problem might be me.

01:30:54.340 So I want to talk to you about who we're allowing ourselves to become.

01:30:57.540 Let me tell you the story.

01:30:58.400 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

01:31:00.120 He's a high school athlete.

01:31:01.660 He's a kid with his whole life ahead of him.

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.

01:31:15.300 It is a team tent.

01:31:17.520 He was told, you can't sit here, blah, blah, blah.

01:31:19.900 Words were exchanged.

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.

01:31:30.000 It belongs to the opposing team.

01:31:32.240 He refuses.

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,

01:32:53.080 have painted a very different picture.

01:32:55.900 Anthony as the aggressor, the defiant one, the threatening one,

01:32:59.760 the one who escalated everything.

01:33:01.520 Again, even witnessed, yesterday was a witness called by his own attorney.

01:33:05.720 It was like, that's not what happened.

01:33:07.240 He was the aggressor.

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.

01:33:44.600 They just want you to see color. 0.79

01:33:46.260 They want you to see a black defendant and a white victim. 0.98

01:33:49.680 That's it. 0.91

01:33:50.760 Now, let me prove this out.

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.

01:34:07.400 Listen.

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.

01:34:22.320 They stand by theirs.

01:34:24.020 We're going to stand by ours regardless.

01:34:25.760 I'm a mother first.

01:34:26.560 I'm a black mother.

01:34:27.320 Let me put that on there.

01:34:27.880 I'm an African-American mother. 1.00

01:34:29.500 So I have to put away my color first and step into the motherhood.

01:34:35.540 Nobody wants to see their child slain.

01:34:37.620 So I do want to send prayers to Austin Metcalf, their family.

01:34:42.480 But at the end of the day

01:34:43.900 I got to think like

01:34:45.180 Okay, what did you do to them

01:34:46.640 Or whatever

01:34:47.660 To cause this to happen

01:34:49.060 The reaction

01:34:49.540 We got to start taking

01:34:50.220 Accountability for our kids

01:34:51.340 Because then again

01:34:52.380 If my kid

01:34:53.180 That's why I said

01:34:53.860 Catch 22

01:34:54.260 If my kid

01:34:55.160 Was Carmelo

01:34:56.260 And I feel like

01:34:56.860 His back was up against the wall

01:34:57.980 I'm going to tell you straight up

01:34:59.040 Better mine than yours

01:35:00.040 Better mine than yours

01:35:01.560 So either way it go

01:35:02.680 Everybody loses 1.00

01:35:04.080 A black boy 1.00

01:35:05.200 Allegedly 0.87

01:35:06.660 Erdered

01:35:07.620 And I say allegedly

01:35:08.360 Heavy on the allegedly

01:35:09.300 Allegedly

01:35:10.660 Erdered somebody 1.00

01:35:12.180 You see what I'm saying? 0.99

01:35:13.880 So, yeah, this is about race.

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.

01:35:31.700 That's the worst thing you can do.

01:35:33.200 My mother would have said, if everybody's jumping off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge?

01:35:36.960 No, it's wrong.

01:35:38.240 You don't do that. 1.00

01:35:39.400 Then she brings in motherhood. 1.00

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.

01:35:50.220 I don't care.

01:35:50.920 I will always love you.

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.

01:36:04.640 That means I sit at the table with her.

01:36:08.100 I go to the prison with her.

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.

01:36:22.180 No, no.

01:36:23.280 We stay by our kids' side just as God stays by our side when we screw up.

01:36:29.020 He loves us.

01:36:29.940 He's with us.

01:36:30.640 But he requires a penalty.

01:36:33.660 Okay?

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,

01:40:45.780 good, bad, guilty, or innocent.

01:40:48.340 That is the American promise, and it is imperfectly kept.

01:40:53.360 It's been betrayed, but the North Star,

01:40:56.980 we have always tried to steer toward,

01:40:59.740 and this is not steering toward.

01:41:01.480 Do you remember O.J. Simpson?

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

01:42:26.300 rather than right and wrong 1.00

01:42:27.660 when we allow race hustlers to poison the well, 1.00

01:42:31.360 white or black, 0.98

01:42:33.220 before a piece of evidence is even heard.

01:42:35.480 That's not progress.

01:42:37.720 That's regression.

01:42:39.580 That goes back to tribal blood feuds,

01:42:42.580 and it's all dressed up in modern university language, 0.62

01:42:46.840 and it spits on the grave of every American,

01:42:49.900 black, white, anyone,

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.

01:43:02.060 Not colorblind in some naive slogan sense,

01:43:05.560 but truly blind to politics, to pressure,

01:43:08.880 to wealth or social status,

01:43:12.380 or the mob or headlines.

01:43:15.240 And we've never achieved it.

01:43:17.280 We've never fully achieved it.

01:43:19.660 It's like a tide.

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.

01:43:26.960 It's a tide.

01:43:27.880 It rolls in and then it goes out.

01:43:30.480 And right now the tide is so far out,

01:43:32.860 I can't even see the water anymore.

01:43:35.420 The rhetoric is so loud now.

01:43:37.440 The temptation, send a strong message, is so strong.

01:43:42.160 I'm not sending a strong,

01:43:43.380 this message that needs to be said is this kind of crime,

01:43:47.280 any kind of crime will not be tolerated.

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,

01:44:14.260 or you'll get the same.

01:44:17.040 The activists are there

01:44:20.200 and they are desperate

01:44:21.660 for another narrative

01:44:22.920 to fuel the fire,

01:44:24.000 but it is our job,

01:44:25.120 yours and mine,

01:44:26.000 to push back, 0.98

01:44:27.380 to see past the race baiters

01:44:29.560 and the selective outrage

01:44:31.740 and demand that juries

01:44:32.840 and judges and citizens

01:44:35.060 look for the whole truth

01:44:36.920 and nothing but the truth.

01:44:38.020 Guilt or innocent

01:44:38.660 based on evidence,

01:44:40.020 not identity.

01:44:41.800 That's not just the legal way.

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.

01:45:24.020 Back in a minute.

01:45:25.340 Let me tell you about Mercury One.

01:45:27.420 Mercury One is a great organization.

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.

01:45:39.640 If there is a crisis, we step up.

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.

01:46:07.380 We are not only there.

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.

01:46:25.420 We're the last one there.

01:46:26.600 We're the first one there.

01:46:28.100 It's mercuryone.org.

01:46:29.660 Give $15 or more and join our rescue team, will you?

01:46:32.920 It's our maximum impact fund.

01:46:34.320 keeps boots on the ground, ready to go at a moment's notice.

01:46:38.140 It's light in the darkness.

01:46:40.060 Join us, mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org.

01:46:44.760 10 seconds, Station ID.

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.

01:47:28.940 And we're doing everything we can.

01:47:30.740 And I would ask that you would join us on this journey with Torch by becoming a Torch member.

01:47:36.420 This summer, we're starting our summer of education at Torch250.com.

01:47:44.300 We are going to be teaching with you, your kids, the Bill of Rights.

01:47:48.700 If they don't know what the rights and responsibilities are, we'll never survive.

01:47:52.500 We're doing it through music, education.

01:47:55.000 We're doing it through storytelling.

01:47:56.860 We have so much going on.

01:47:58.180 It just launched today.

01:48:00.340 I want you to see it and join us at Torch250.com.

01:49:08.440 You don't want to upset that.

01:49:09.860 You don't want to get rid of that low rate.

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.

01:54:16.280 He could have torn the note up.

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.

01:54:33.900 He came to cash the check.

01:54:35.920 He said the promise wasn't a lie.

01:54:39.840 It just has never been fulfilled.

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.

01:56:34.600 There is real racism in America.

01:56:37.720 And we should never be too proud to admit it.

01:56:40.520 Never too afraid to say, yeah, there's bad things that our country has done and is doing.

01:56:45.180 And there are bad people.

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.

02:00:48.720 You may be dead right.

02:00:51.720 So what do the greatest Americans do?

02:00:56.140 What did Martin Luther King do in the last century with that exact grievance?

02:01:00.720 He didn't leave.

02:01:01.460 He didn't burn it.

02:01:02.140 He walked up to the Bank of Justice with the founder's own signature in his hand,

02:01:06.400 and he said, I'm here to collect.

02:01:09.580 The declaration is your check.

02:01:11.820 It is the note, the Constitution.

02:01:13.660 is that check, the Bill of Rights

02:01:15.620 is your enforcement clause

02:01:17.540 they are not the thing standing

02:01:19.740 between you and a country worth loving

02:01:21.900 they are the only

02:01:23.580 road to that country worth loving

02:01:25.920 they were the road for

02:01:27.780 King, they're the road for you

02:01:29.420 they're the road for me

02:01:30.660 don't get on the plane

02:01:33.140 stay and cash the check

02:01:37.140 it's made out in my name

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

02:02:24.320 the makers of relief factor it's designed to help you fall asleep faster sleep more soundly and wake

02:02:28.700 up refreshed because a good night's sleep isn't as nice to have it's the difference between waking

02:03:08.460 so ricky in the break she's just talking to me about how uh jefferson was just

02:03:30.100 he what did you say a coward was that it i did not say that the only thing he didn't say is

02:03:49.260 I would never reduce Jefferson to Tallarico, though. 1.00

02:03:51.580 I can't hear you, Ricky.

02:03:52.640 James Tallarico.

02:03:53.720 Can you bring her up?

02:03:55.720 James Tallarico?

02:03:59.540 I can't hear you.

02:04:00.600 But anyway, the audience did.

02:04:02.060 James Tallarico, exactly right.

02:04:03.580 Pew, pew, pew, pew.

02:04:04.680 he should do an ad he needs to do an ad anyway um there's a couple of uh messages here freedom

02:04:12.560 lover uh from alabama says as rush limbaugh once said the most discriminating group discriminated

02:04:19.920 group of people in the united states is the individual 100 right uh nanny chat in idaho

02:04:28.460 i still want to see a reality show where one group lives by communism minus the executions

02:04:33.740 and one group lives how the constitution was originally written well don't we have that i

02:04:40.040 mean it's called texas and california um scotts bluff nebraska glenn whenever de toqueville is

02:04:49.640 mentioned i'm out too nerdy and you know what small town arms i when i read that i thought

02:04:57.740 i think that's a quote from sam adams i think that's what he said i think at one point he's

02:05:02.500 like this is getting way too nerdy for me guys i am out you're talking about this constitutional

02:05:07.540 stuff i'm out but i i understand the sentiment i understand the sentiment i used to be there

02:05:13.540 uh listen this might be really nerdy but if you're raising kids or you have grandkids and

02:05:18.960 you're gonna be spending time with them this summer sorry um but it's just wrong of me to

02:05:24.660 say that uh if you're traveling especially you need to become a torch member uh you can go to

02:05:30.420 glennbeck.com slash torch, or another gateway here is Torch 250. It will show you everything

02:05:38.240 that we are going to be doing month by month this summer. And here we are in June. We have just

02:05:46.120 released our first song and a lesson plan on, I know it's nerdy, on Bill of Rights. The first one

02:05:53.440 is the five and the first, the five freedoms. Can you name the five freedoms in the First Amendment?

02:05:59.380 If you cannot, you need to be a Torch member.

02:06:03.540 You need to get this song and learn them.

02:06:06.100 And this is an easy way to learn them.

02:06:07.940 It's almost like schoolhouse rock.

02:06:09.860 You will sing it and it will be an earworm

02:06:11.700 and you will know all five freedoms.

02:06:13.400 You'll be able to, you know what they are

02:06:15.200 and they're important.

02:06:16.900 If we're gonna save the nation,

02:06:18.540 we have to be able to know what we're fighting for,

02:06:22.120 not just against, we gotta fight for something.

02:06:25.260 So we have that plus the lesson plan.

02:06:27.040 There'll be 10 lesson plans and 10 new songs for your kids and you to learn.
