00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:00:06.480 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:00:10.360 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:00:15.680 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

00:00:20.400 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:00:25.660 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:00:30.000 We get fired up during the campaign season.

00:00:32.180 We volunteer, we donate, we vote.

00:00:34.020 And then when the election is over, we go back to our lives and assume the people we elected will handle the rest.

00:00:38.480 How's that working out for us?

00:00:39.800 The other side never stops.

00:00:40.980 They don't take years off.

00:00:42.140 They don't wait for the next election cycle.

00:00:43.660 They understand that culture is shaped every day by the institutions, organizations, and businesses that receive our support.

00:00:50.220 And that is one of the reasons I talk to you about Patriot Mobile so often.

00:00:53.300 Yes, they provide excellent wireless service.

00:00:55.200 You get the coverage on all three major networks, unlimited data, you know, mobile hotspots, international roaming, customer sport right here in America.

00:01:03.580 All of that stuff, it's better than with the big guys.

00:01:07.000 You can keep your phone number, keep your phone, get a new one, whatever you want.

00:01:10.740 But they take a portion of their profits and they donate it to organizations that defend the values that help make this country great in the first place.

00:04:39.940 but it just makes you sound smart yeah yeah it does or weird you know what i mean or weird

00:04:47.400 mostly weird like the kid like the kid that gets beat up on the in the in the playground

00:04:51.780 you know what i mean it's been known to happen especially if you say words like that

00:04:55.320 okay um all right i want to talk to you about uh what john thune is doing uh here with the

00:05:05.200 No, no, Sarah.

00:05:08.700 Sarah, I did not. Stop it. Stop, Sarah.

00:05:10.920 I did not ask for Thune the ballless rhino.

00:05:16.060 I am sorry, Senator. Stop it.

00:05:17.920 Sorry, Senator. That's wholly inappropriate and unprofessional.

00:05:20.940 Sarah, shame on you.

00:05:22.740 I want to talk to you about the Save America Act.

00:05:26.620 And John Thune still doesn't seem to be willing to save America.

00:05:31.480 He's still saying that we just can't pass it in the Senate,

00:05:33.920 which is not true, is it? Well, it's true if you assume that you have to have cloture in order to

00:05:41.220 break through a filibuster. The truth is you don't. Now, most of the time, that's the way it happens

00:05:46.180 these days. It wasn't always the case. It used to not be the norm at all in the Senate. Cloture

00:05:51.600 votes used to be relatively rare, but they've become the default norm and now increasingly

00:05:56.660 assumed falsely to be the exclusive way to break a filibuster. There are other ways. You have to

00:06:02.640 exhaust those who are delaying the bill you put the bill on the floor and you debate it until it

00:06:08.880 passes and that can't happen with every bill partly because it takes a lot of time to do it

00:06:14.940 and partly because not every bill will work like this because not every bill has this much support

00:06:20.680 from the american people we're talking to more between 70 and 80 percent of americans across

00:06:25.520 party lines depending on which poll you listen to either way it's a vast super majority the only

00:06:30.720 place where you can't get a supermajority for it is here in Washington, D.C., then that's the

00:06:35.100 problem. But if we put the bill on the floor, like did the Civil Rights Act at 1964, they were down

00:06:41.040 about 30 votes, 30 votes away from being able to achieve cloture in 64 when they did that. And over

00:06:47.340 time, what they saw was that the bill became more popular and those who were opposing it and trying

00:06:52.380 to delay it with a filibuster became less popular. So they started negotiating the terms of their

00:06:57.880 exit ramp. They started negotiating face-saving and perfecting amendments, and eventually they

00:07:02.680 got the bill to the point where they could vote for it. That's exactly what we need to do here

00:07:06.340 with the Save America Act. So to say that because we've only got a simple majority support, we're

00:07:11.180 about 10 votes shy of cloture, it doesn't mean the bill can't pass. It just means there's got

00:07:16.440 to be another way to do it. I won't advocate this on every bill, but this is a rare, unique

00:07:20.840 circumstance where it's important to America's future, our election security, and where the

00:07:26.040 american people overwhelmingly support it this would work but it does take time and i i hope

00:07:31.600 we'll get there yeah i'm kind of losing hope on this one um you know i know mitch mcconnell the

00:07:39.020 good thing we don't have a song about mitch mcconnell um yeah because i think mitch mcconnell

00:07:44.640 is also trying to do their no sarah i was stop sarah i was talking about mitch mcconnell not

00:07:53.040 thune the ballless rhino please this is wholly inappropriate with the senator on the phone

00:07:56.840 please i mean it stop um so um it looks like he's doing everything he can to torpedo this on the way

00:08:04.220 out as well or is that just my just me look there is one person and one person alone who can make

00:08:12.640 this judgment called the way the senate works the way our set schedule is set up if the senate

00:08:17.920 majority leader is willing to give this a shot, it'll work. Whether Mitch McConnell wants him to

00:08:23.020 or not, whether any one member wants him to or not, he could do it. At this point, we're not

00:08:28.420 counting on Mitch McConnell's vote anyway. But we do have a simple majority of Republicans

00:08:33.420 who support the bill. And we also have an American population that I believe will continue

00:08:41.320 overwhelmingly to support this and it won't really smile all that fondly upon those who

00:08:48.120 are filibustering the bill and eventually they'll negotiate their way out of it so we got to give it

00:08:52.780 a shot just because it's difficult and time-consuming doesn't mean it's not important

00:08:56.280 this one's especially important as we approach this election year i feel like the republicans

00:09:03.160 have just walked into a trap um you know if that fish face guy from star wars i thought trap i

00:09:09.660 That's all I'm hearing right now when it comes to the FISA thing.

00:09:13.360 They came after the temporary appointment for the DNI, and then Congress said, well, we're not going to pass FISA.

00:09:22.280 And I said at the time, please, please, take them at their word on that one.

00:09:27.160 Just actually hold them to that.

00:09:28.940 Tell them no Save America Act, no FISA.

00:09:33.400 And it looks like that's what he's doing.

00:09:36.640 Does that work?

00:09:37.400 Look, well, first of all, Save America and FISA.

00:09:42.280 I like the idea of looking for creative ways and creative avenues for passing Save America.

00:09:48.280 I've never been confident that attaching FISA to Save America would do anything other than tank both bills.

00:09:55.760 They've got the areas of overlap coupled with the degree of popularity makes those two bills a likely mismatch.

00:10:03.200 but hang on but mike what i'm but what i'm in thinking is there's no way there's no way these

00:10:10.580 weasels in congress or in the senate are going to let the faiza thing go burning down in flames

00:10:17.520 they love it all these weasels like i'm not even going to say his name but t the

00:10:24.220 these guys absolutely want fisa and they're not going to let that thing they're not going to let

00:10:35.980 that go by do you think uh no that's right but they do have until march 16th of 2027 to continue

00:10:46.220 normal fisa 702 collection under the existing orders of the fisa court because of language

00:10:52.260 they slipped in the dead of night in 2018 they can continue collecting till then so they're in 0.97

00:10:56.920 the catbird seat they're fat dumb and happy right now i suspect their plan is to sort of rope-a-dope 0.87

00:11:02.980 this thing for a while until they can attach it to a spending bill at the end of the year 0.97

00:11:07.180 and hope they can slip it in that way that's why i don't see them panicking a lot on fisa 702 even

00:11:13.400 they were publicly purporting to panic before then um fisa given all the deep state stuff that

00:11:20.440 Trump knows is going on.

00:11:22.160 What, I mean, why do you think he wants this so badly?

00:11:26.680 Well, look, FISA 702 serves a useful purpose.

00:11:30.320 I've never disputed that.

00:11:32.400 It does good things for the American people when it's used properly.

00:11:36.720 The problem is that it's too easy to abuse.

00:11:39.720 All we're asking for, we're saying, go ahead and reauthorize it.

00:11:44.420 But if you want our support for it, you've got to require the government to get a warrant from the FISA court before they start doing what we call U.S. citizen or U.S. person queries, where you're searching for a particular person's private communications that were incidentally collected on this FISA 702 database in connection with a foreign intelligence investigation.

00:12:09.020 That's a type of backdoor warrantless search that Americans are increasingly skeptical of.

00:12:17.280 And that's what they need to do.

00:12:18.760 Now, what baffles me is that they're unwilling to even negotiate that.

00:12:22.080 It's a very reasonable request.

00:12:24.260 It's not, it wouldn't be nearly as difficult even as an ordinary court warrant because it's a different context.

00:12:31.800 And it can be substantially narrower than that.

00:12:35.480 But this does need to happen.

00:12:36.800 And if they would do that, there's a huge group of us that would help them pass it tomorrow.

00:12:42.060 What's stunning to me is how defiantly unwilling they are to listen to the American people who increasingly are skeptical of Pfizer-702 without a warrant.

00:12:51.140 I think it's changing, Mike.

00:12:52.660 I think you look at the elections and what's happening.

00:12:54.780 I think these guys who are not listening to the American people, I think they're going to find themselves in real trouble with the base.

00:13:00.100 But maybe that's just me.

00:13:01.320 Last question.

00:13:02.200 Any comment on the – I mean, I know you don't know the – well, maybe you do.

00:13:06.800 The details of the peace deal, and I don't want to speculate because everybody is speculating, and it's just a waste of time in my book, but is there anything that you can tell us that you know that you can share?

00:13:21.000 I really don't know any details about what this deal has in it.

00:13:26.360 But what I do know, Glenn, is that when Barack Obama made a really bad deal about 10 years ago with Iran in the form of the JCPOA, that moved from a standpoint of American weakness.

00:13:41.400 It resulted in us giving an ungodly sum of money to Iran without any real concessions on Iran's part.

00:13:49.400 And that's how we got to the awful mess where we are today.

00:13:53.640 I know that President Trump has every ability and every intention and every desire to make things better for the American people rather than empowering our enemies.

00:14:02.840 So I look forward to seeing what's in there.

00:14:04.500 I haven't seen it.

00:14:05.420 I don't know its contents, but I look forward to doing so later this week.

00:14:09.700 Yeah, I talked to J.D. Vance yesterday, and he seemed very optimistic that we were going to get the things that the American people, I mean, you know, most of the things that the American people want.

00:14:18.000 the things that President Trump said he has to have,

00:14:21.560 and Trump said that not a dime is going to be given to Iran

00:14:26.440 unless they are playing ball. 0.57

00:14:29.780 I asked him the question, you know, can you trust them?

00:14:33.840 And he said, no, you can't trust them, but you can trust yet verify.

00:14:39.700 That's the name of the game, and I hope and expect and pray

00:14:43.640 that that's what we'll see out of this deal

00:14:45.320 and look forward to seeing it, hopefully as soon as Friday.

00:14:50.900 Yeah. Mike, is there anything the American people can do to help with the FISA thing?

00:14:55.140 I mean, are they listening to phone calls or letters or anything?

00:14:59.180 I always think it's a good idea.

00:15:02.500 If you agree with something to use letters, use phone calls, social media, op-eds,

00:15:11.200 Any way you feel comfortable expressing yourself to make sure that you know that your senators and your representatives at the federal level are aware of where you stand, that can't hurt.

00:15:23.360 And sometimes it can do some real good.

00:15:25.320 You never know exactly the moment at which stuff like that will make a difference.

00:15:30.140 So you have to assume that in this circumstance it might.

00:15:32.940 And I believe this could be one of those moments.

00:15:34.940 he just said however you feel comfortable expressing yourself um you know uh which I

00:15:43.360 think is I'm going to take as a you know kind of a kind of an endorsement of the song about

00:15:48.760 John Thune I I mean I could be misreading that there but no Sarah stop okay Mike thank you very

00:15:55.620 thank you very much I appreciate all right you'll never be on the show again uh but uh thank you

00:16:01.920 very much senator mike lee for the great straight state of utah uh all right let me tell you about

00:16:06.920 simply safe ah i miss the days when you know most serious crime in the neighborhood was you know

00:16:13.200 somebody's kid throwing a baseball baseball through a window you know that was good crime

00:16:17.040 that was wholesome crime i'll tell you that somebody apologized somebody paid for the new

00:16:20.600 window everybody moved on with their lives today you know we have porch pirates we have car thieves

00:16:25.340 we have home invasion do you see the guy who came up on the porch and actually stole a person's cat

00:16:31.000 What the hell is wrong with us?

00:16:34.320 I mean, unless you were going to eat that cat.

00:16:36.200 Anyway, home security has to step up its game.

00:16:40.380 This is going to be a troublesome show.

00:16:41.840 It really is.

00:16:42.800 It may be the last one.

00:16:43.820 I don't know.

00:16:44.880 One of the reasons I like SimpliSafe, they have active guard outdoor protection.

00:16:50.320 Their system can help identify people as trouble before the break-in.

00:16:55.300 You know, AI-powered cameras, trained agents can actually step in when they see,

00:16:58.900 what are you doing with a cat?

00:16:59.980 Can you put the cat down?

00:17:01.840 Oh, you're going to make it into a stew?

00:17:03.320 Okay, go ahead.

00:17:04.980 Anyway, I'm not looking for a return of the good old days

00:17:07.020 because these are the good old days.

00:17:08.480 What I'm saying is you have to live in the modern world.

00:17:10.720 It's nice to have some modern tools

00:17:11.940 helping you keep your family safe.

00:17:13.640 Right now, you can get 50% off your new system

00:17:41.420 ricky i i i need you to have a sit down with sarah uh because i think

00:17:48.000 sarah i'm very disappointed in you i'm i really am i just i can't tell you how

00:17:53.160 i was trying so hard but poor senator mike lee was giving us very serious answers and

00:17:59.760 And he was being so stoic and you were just being so immature.

00:18:06.520 I had such a hard time keeping a straight face with it.

00:18:09.880 I mean, I was really upset.

00:18:13.000 And Sarah, I remain very upset.

00:18:15.140 The choices that you made.

00:18:21.440 I had liquid coming out of just about every orifice of my body.

00:18:25.640 It's not coming out my nose.

00:18:27.500 Tears coming out my eyes.

00:18:28.640 Because, you know, I'm older.

00:18:30.180 So it is so, so bad.

00:18:33.200 So bad.

00:18:33.760 So bad.

00:18:34.620 Jason, odds we're ever going to have Mike Lee on the show again.

00:18:40.820 I don't know, but I tell you what,

00:18:43.240 a legend was just born on the Glenn Beck staff.

00:18:46.400 Insiders are going wild.

00:18:47.820 You created a cult hero in Miss Sarah here.

00:18:52.820 She is the hero and MVP of the day.

00:18:54.580 Don't idolize her.

00:18:57.240 Don't idolize her.

00:18:58.140 Don't encourage her.

00:19:00.720 You know, it's funny.

00:19:02.340 It's one of the Torch membership benefits we never anticipated.

00:19:05.880 You come up with a cool name.

00:19:07.800 It'll eventually get turned into a song by Glenn,

00:19:10.080 and it will get played for a United States senator.

00:19:14.020 Yeah, I think that needs to be a T-shirt.

00:19:16.200 Quite honestly, I think there needs to be a Thune the Ball is Rhino T-shirt.

00:19:19.080 I'd wear one.

00:19:19.680 I'd wear one for – I would wear – oh, my gosh.

00:19:22.560 We were just talking about having a family T-shirt.

00:19:25.860 We used to make family t-shirts every 4th of July, you know, for everybody in the family.

00:19:31.520 It was Beck family, you know, 4th of July, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:34.720 And we would make these t-shirts and we would wear them. 0.89

00:19:37.120 I think we need a Thune the Ballless Rhino 4th of July t-shirt. 0.75

00:19:42.620 I think we do.

00:19:44.000 I think, I mean, I don't know if you'd wear one, but I would.

00:19:47.760 I would wear one proudly.

00:19:49.560 And I'm going to be in Washington the entire week.

00:19:52.340 I might have to get six of them made just so I have a change of t-shirts every day.

00:19:59.540 Do it.

00:20:01.080 Do it.

00:20:01.960 Do it.

00:20:03.100 We actually tried to do a Photoshop of Thune, the ballless rhino.

00:20:08.660 What do you think Thune as a ballless rhino would look like in Photoshop?

00:20:13.360 And Grok was just pumping out some real weird stuff.

00:20:16.800 So if there are any torching stairs, please put it on the community wall.

00:20:21.980 I'm not sure Grok is the place to go for that one.

00:20:24.940 You know what I mean?

00:20:26.000 I just don't know.

00:20:27.520 I just don't know.

00:20:29.100 But anyway, so we got that going for us.

00:20:33.960 Let's talk real quick here while we have a second about the Iran deal.

00:20:39.680 Jason, I have nothing to back this up.

00:20:44.020 Nothing to back this up. 1.00

00:20:44.980 Other than I just don't think the president's this stupid. 1.00

00:20:48.820 You know, I just don't think he's 1.00

00:20:50.400 I don't think he's the guy who's going to come out

00:20:53.020 With, especially

00:20:54.520 Build it up, build it up, build it up

00:20:56.200 Don't know the details, don't know the details

00:20:57.620 I'm going to make the details known on Friday

00:20:59.760 I'll tell everybody on Friday

00:21:01.440 And then come out with details that are like

00:21:04.600 Meh, that's not him

00:21:06.560 That's not him

00:21:07.660 And maybe

00:21:09.540 Maybe I'm reading too much into it

00:21:11.640 I just think that there is

00:21:13.360 There's something else going on

00:21:16.480 You know, there's something else going on

00:21:18.240 I mean, I would love it that, you know, he would be like, and another thing, they all had to resign and the people are in charge.

00:21:25.640 I mean, that would be great, but I don't think it's going to be that big.

00:21:28.180 But I just, I just don't think he's going to come out with something that, you know, goes against everything that he said he was for.

00:21:38.100 It's not him.

00:21:39.000 no and apparently everybody and their mother now claims to have a copy of the mou uh this

00:21:47.600 memorandum of understanding everybody it was supposedly al-arabia from saudi arabia was

00:21:53.520 saying they had it yesterday cnn says they have it today multiple other outlets are saying they

00:21:58.020 have copies of it but then today the white house communication director said uh no none of these

00:22:04.000 are what's actually in the MOU.

00:22:06.460 So this is the same game

00:22:07.560 we've been playing for a while.

00:22:09.760 The way I see this is it's not even,

00:22:11.680 it's being marketed as a peace deal.

00:22:13.680 I don't read it like that.

00:22:16.180 It looks like a 60-day ceasefire

00:22:18.380 while they work on a peace deal.

00:22:20.880 And within those 60 days,

00:22:22.600 a lot of things can happen.

00:22:24.640 Internal strife and power plays

00:22:27.540 within the Iranian government,

00:22:28.600 which are already happening,

00:22:30.180 are going down.

00:22:31.520 I think the president seeing that,

00:22:33.040 I agree with you.

00:22:34.000 I think they're moving towards something larger.

00:22:36.460 I hope.

00:22:37.560 I hope.

00:22:38.460 I hope.

00:22:39.120 That's weird.

00:22:40.580 Both of our takes, we met early this morning,

00:22:43.920 and we were like, what is your take on this?

00:22:45.900 And we had the same exact feeling.

00:22:48.100 We have no reason to believe that that is true.

00:22:50.660 It's just our gut.

00:22:52.040 Could be wrong, but I'd rather go there and speculate on that

00:22:57.180 than speculate that it's going to be horrible.

00:23:00.000 I mean, because everything everybody is doing right now is speculate.

00:23:04.000 and it's a waste of time.

00:23:05.380 All right, let me tell you about

00:23:06.260 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

00:23:08.520 By the way, that's why we're only going to be spending

00:23:10.320 that amount of time on it.

00:23:11.960 One of the things I find most extraordinary

00:23:14.040 about the Jewish people is that they're still here.

00:23:16.880 You know, they've been conquered, they've been scattered,

00:23:18.520 they've been persecuted, expelled,

00:23:20.540 targeted by some of the most powerful empires

00:23:22.540 the world has ever known. 0.91

00:23:24.020 The Egyptians are gone, the Babylonians are gone,

00:23:26.640 the Romans are gone, the Nazis are gone, 1.00

00:23:28.400 and yet the Jewish people still remain. 1.00

00:23:31.280 That's because they control the world, you know. 1.00

00:23:34.000 I say it's God's hand in history because God made promises to the Jewish people and God, you know, he doesn't break his promise. 0.99

00:23:42.280 And those promises have outlasted kings and emperors and dictators and entire civilizations.

00:23:47.380 Christians have a responsibility to stand with the Jewish people.

00:23:50.220 That doesn't mean you agree with the war.

00:23:52.540 It doesn't mean you agree with Benjamin Netanyahu or anything like that.

00:23:55.700 It's just, I don't think the Jewish people should be persecuted and hunted down.

00:24:01.880 I think they have a right to live

00:24:04.560 what do you say we just start there

00:24:06.280 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

00:24:08.680 right now get your Israeli and

00:24:10.240 American flag pin if you would like one

00:24:12.680 just go to flagpin

00:24:14.440 ifcj.org

00:24:16.640 flagpin ifcj.org

00:24:18.280 the new song about the second

00:24:20.740 amendment the study guide now

00:24:22.600 at torch250.com

00:24:23.860 We'll be right back.

00:24:53.860 Amendment 2, the freedom to protect our freedom.

00:25:01.700 So this is part of our America 250, our Torch 250, the summer of 250.

00:25:10.440 We are going through the Bill of Rights,

00:25:12.780 and we're giving you things that you can talk to your kids about.

00:25:15.280 I'll get into this a little bit later.

00:25:16.860 And you also get songs for each song.

00:25:19.720 They're kind of, they're almost schoolhouse rockish, if you will.

00:25:24.320 Help them memorize the things and what the point of each one is.

00:25:28.600 And the point of the Second Amendment is not about golfing.

00:25:32.780 It's not about sport shooting.

00:25:35.440 It's not about hunting.

00:25:37.160 It is about the right to protect your freedom.

00:25:41.840 And that's the Second Amendment.

00:25:43.480 And we give you all of the information at glennbeck.com slash torch or the app if you have the torch already.

00:25:51.600 If you want to join the torch or you want to see what's available this summer, there's tons of stuff that is available this summer, including that and a brand new audio book that is coming out.

00:26:01.940 I think two chapters of this come out.

00:26:03.940 Is that this week?

00:26:05.600 This week.

00:26:06.100 The first two chapters come out this week.

00:26:07.720 It's really, really good.

00:26:09.420 It's a dystopian book all about an America that has been lost.

00:26:15.640 And it's about 80 years in the future.

00:26:18.280 Corporation, an AI corporation, happens to run everything.

00:26:22.240 And they have erased our history entirely.

00:26:25.420 And books have been banned and burned.

00:26:27.900 And history has been outlawed.

00:26:30.020 And it's these families and these children that are trying to find and piece history back together and find out what really happened.

00:26:38.200 because they have no idea what America was.

00:26:40.700 They have no idea on any of it, just fragments.

00:26:43.600 It's a great way to learn history

00:26:44.900 and to be entertained at the same time.

00:26:46.720 It's called Chasing Embers in the audio book.

00:26:48.560 Two chapters come out for Torch members this week.

00:26:51.380 The entire book, I think, comes out

00:26:52.580 either next week or the week after,

00:26:54.740 and you'll get that wherever you get your audio books.

00:26:57.620 Also, I'm doing a July 4th radio special

00:27:00.160 to celebrate our 250th birthday.

00:27:03.520 It is the series, The American Story,

00:27:08.200 We have edited it down into a three-hour 4th of July event.

00:27:13.360 It's available to all talk radio stations in, I think it's all radio stations, actually, in America if they want to carry it, you know, unless you're a competitor.

00:27:24.600 But Premier is offering this now to all radio stations.

00:27:28.480 So if you happen to be a programmer of any radio station and you want to just carry a great 4th of July, this is the American story told unlike you've ever heard it before.

00:27:37.700 You can get it.

00:27:38.560 Just call Premier Radio Networks.

00:27:40.580 It'll be available for the holiday weekend.

00:27:44.320 All right.

00:27:44.640 Now, I looked at the news today, and there's like 60 stories.

00:27:48.680 We send them out every day, all of the biggest stories.

00:27:51.400 And I looked for the five biggest that will tell you the lesson that we need to learn from today's news.

00:27:59.080 News isn't just about what's happening.

00:28:01.380 News, I think, my job is to give it commentary and perspective so you can learn from it so we don't keep repeating the same mistakes.

00:28:11.840 What are the principles that we're supposed to learn from everything?

00:28:14.500 What have we lost?

00:28:16.180 There's a line from Nietzsche that everybody half remembers.

00:28:20.080 Nobody applies it to themselves, of course.

00:28:21.700 But he who fights monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster.

00:28:27.240 And when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back.

00:28:33.020 That's Nietzsche.

00:28:34.200 Hold on to that sentence here for a second, because every major story this morning that

00:28:38.600 I want to talk to you is that sentence wearing a different costume, okay?

00:28:43.700 So let's start with the one that you literally could not make up, the Southern Poverty Law

00:28:48.680 Center.

00:28:49.460 This is the organization whose entire reason for existing, its brand, its fundraising,

00:28:54.600 its moral authority is hunting nazis and clan members okay and a federal indictment says one

00:29:00.440 of its top people was now funneling 1.2 million dollars to her lover who was a the head of a

00:29:07.080 neo-nazi group okay they had a joint bank account the monster hunter and the monster splitting the

00:29:16.700 check and slipping between the sheets i mean i don't know which sheet i mean but anyway you gaze

00:29:24.340 long enough into that abyss and it turns out the abyss has your routing number then we go to

00:29:30.400 chicago across is burnt in grant park we've seen this movie before haven't we chicago the fbi opens

00:29:36.740 up a hate crime review the socialist alternative says there's no reason to doubt that racist

00:29:42.840 intent and demand strikes and rallies right right then a senior at the university of illinois chicago

00:29:50.780 confesses, I burned it. Why did he burn a cross? Quote, to smear Trump supporters and Christian

00:29:59.240 nationalists, end quote. Okay. To fight the Klan, he had to become the Klan. So he lit the cross

00:30:11.140 himself. Wow. Does this sound familiar at all, Chicago? Does this sound familiar, SPLC, at all?

00:30:19.080 now let me take this pattern let me go up new doj records show the fbi agents their own people

00:30:27.860 do you remember when merrick garland went to congress and he's like no i did we had no that's

00:30:31.960 not what that meant there's no memo like that or okay we now have the goods okay his own people

00:30:39.400 said that that memo to go after and target Catholics and to target parents would make

00:30:49.080 everything look political. Another person said it might as well be called the anti-MAGA task force.

00:30:58.600 He denied any of that. We now have the memos. Agency built to protect citizens turned its lens

00:31:06.680 on parents at school board meetings.

00:31:10.120 The guardian became the thing the guardian

00:31:12.980 was supposed to guard against.

00:31:15.420 Gaze into it.

00:31:17.480 Now, let me open the lens a little bit

00:31:19.780 because this isn't just hypocrisy.

00:31:23.040 This is philosophy.

00:31:25.020 And we found out yesterday,

00:31:26.960 we were verified yesterday,

00:31:29.420 that accelerationism is the name that it holds.

00:31:33.420 That is the word sitting in your overflow file today, and it is the word for what allegedly drove a 19-year-old to plan an attack on a celebration of America's 250th birthday with explosives and drones, not to fix the country, but to break it and to destroy it.

00:31:53.920 This is an amazing story.

00:31:55.100 I'm going to give you the full story here in just a few minutes.

00:31:57.360 Really, you have to hear the details of this now that we have more from yesterday.

00:32:03.420 He wanted to create enough chaos to force the collapse

00:32:06.060 he was certain would be righteous.

00:32:09.060 He fed on conspiracy theories.

00:32:11.520 Epstein, the government involvement in Epstein. 0.60

00:32:16.920 Israel, he was ready to burn the house down to save it.

00:32:23.820 Gaze into the abyss and the abyss begins to win.

00:32:28.660 That's a man so convinced he's fighting monsters

00:32:31.520 that he becomes a monster and calls it heroism.

00:32:36.680 And before you think this is an American disease,

00:32:38.940 I want you to cross the Atlantic.

00:32:40.360 I want you to go over to England.

00:32:41.860 All of these stories are in your show prep today.

00:32:44.060 And they're all telling you the same thing.

00:32:46.820 Let me tell you about Rupert Lowe's report.

00:32:49.480 219 pages.

00:32:51.080 This is all about how the girls were raped. 0.93

00:32:54.420 The little girls in England were raped 0.81

00:32:56.240 and nobody did anything about it.

00:32:58.420 This report now for the government

00:33:00.160 alleges a quarter of a million young British girls

00:33:03.900 were exploited over decades

00:33:06.160 while the institutions all looked away.

00:33:13.400 A quarter of a million.

00:33:16.820 Now, why did they look away?

00:33:18.760 Well, they looked away

00:33:19.660 because they were afraid of being called racist.

00:33:21.960 And then there's Preston Davey, 13 months old,

00:33:26.240 dead at the hands of a foster carer

00:33:28.740 after repeated hospital visits visible injuries and his grandmother says officials may have

00:33:35.080 hesitated because they feared being accused of homophobia for the scrutiny for scrutinizing the

00:33:40.360 couple wait a minute wait let me say that again the fear of being called a bigot produced the

00:33:48.840 most real bigotry there is the abandonment of a child they stared so hard at the monster of

00:33:58.160 intolerance that they let the actual monster walk right past them at least sweden is now saying

00:34:08.100 quiet part out loud enough enough enough enough now all of this rhymes all of this rhymes you

00:34:16.320 know when you look into the news today newsom campaigning against corruption while the records

00:34:21.540 show him soliciting 340 million dollars from special interests. Major League Baseball announcing

00:34:29.060 baseball is for everybody and then threatening players for writing a bible verse on a hat. 0.97

00:34:35.080 After they put Black Lives Matter on the field in 2020, everyone is for everyone right until 0.65

00:34:40.860 you're not everyone. So that's the diagnosis. That's what's happening in America today. 0.91

00:34:49.040 The people who appointed themselves the guardians of virtue against hate, against corruption, against bigotry, keep getting caught carrying the very disease they were hired to cure.

00:35:00.420 This is why our Constitution restrains people in power.

00:35:05.300 The accusation over and over again turns out to be a confession.

00:35:11.620 Now, let me give you some hope here.

00:35:14.640 This perspective, I think, is helpful.

00:35:16.500 CNN's own polling says 47% of Americans now call themselves independent.

00:35:21.900 That is the highest number in decades.

00:35:24.840 And the blue wave, everybody is forecasting for the midterms, is looking more like kind of like a tiny ripple. 0.93

00:35:32.400 Nearly half the country is walking away from the tribal sorting machine. 0.93

00:35:37.920 Victory. 0.99

00:35:39.260 I'm not a Republican.

00:35:40.700 I generally side with the Republicans, but as you can tell from the song, Thune the Ballless Rhino, not very often, people are tired of being told the accusation is the proof.

00:35:56.200 They're tired of choosing the cleaner-looking monster.

00:36:00.400 And that's the whole answer.

00:36:02.920 The cure for becoming what you fight is not a better team.

00:36:08.800 That's the standard.

00:36:10.720 The founders didn't hand us a side to join.

00:36:13.820 They handed us a measuring stick.

00:36:17.700 And you have to hold it up against yourself first,

00:36:20.740 no matter how righteous or right you think you are.

00:36:23.700 A democracy gives you a mob.

00:36:26.760 And that mob is always right because it's loud.

00:36:32.160 I don't want to be the loudest.

00:36:34.120 I don't want to be first.

00:36:35.680 I don't even want to be right.

00:36:36.900 I want to be accurate.

00:36:40.200 The republic gives you a principle that is right and accurate

00:36:45.120 when even your own people are wrong.

00:36:48.840 So here's the test, and this is the only one that matters today.

00:36:51.760 The rule you want used on them, you have to use it on you first.

00:36:57.620 The scrutiny you demand of your enemies, strive to live it.

00:37:06.540 Make that be you.

00:37:09.000 Hold the principle, not the jersey.

00:37:11.940 Do that, and the abyss can gaze at you all day long.

00:37:15.000 And you're not going to, it won't find anything looking back into it.

00:37:20.220 That's the news and the perspective of the day.

00:37:23.280 All right, back in just a second.

00:37:24.440 Let me tell you about Rough Greens. 1.00

00:37:25.360 The day you brought your dog home, you made a silent promise to take care of them, to give them the best life possible. 0.99

00:37:31.800 You promised to be their person, and they held up their bargain.

00:37:35.600 I have to tell you, these two dogs, we call them Laurel and Hardy, two male dogs.

00:37:40.560 They must be brothers or something.

00:37:41.800 I don't know, but they are so sweet to each other.

00:37:44.960 I think they've been abused because they're very skittish around people, especially men.

00:37:50.020 And we found them abandoned right up by our ranch, about five miles out from our ranch.

00:37:54.620 We did, we, you know, put out flyers and everything looking to, does anybody know this, these dogs, they might be cattle dogs.

00:38:01.140 I don't, I don't even know, but they're outdoor dogs and they're really, really, really sweet.

00:38:07.300 I'm only telling you this because I'm going to be putting them up on Facebook looking for a family in the Idaho area because we're not having, we're not having dogs.

00:38:16.920 We're not having dogs.

00:38:17.680 They're ranch dogs and we're not having dogs, honey.

00:38:20.200 We're not having dogs.

00:38:21.580 She's like, but there's those, we're not having dogs.

00:38:24.360 Anyway, what was I talking about?

00:38:25.680 Oh, yeah, rough greens.

00:38:26.960 We wanted to make sure that they were fed and fed well.

00:38:29.880 You could see their ribs when we got them.

00:38:31.680 It was so sad.

00:38:33.700 We feed them the best food we can, get them healthy,

00:38:37.140 and they're on rough greens right away.

00:38:39.100 I'm a fan of rough greens.

00:38:40.400 It's not a dog food.

00:38:41.440 It's a nutritional supplement.

00:38:43.040 You add it to the food that you're already feeding.

00:38:45.460 These dogs already look better, and they're frisky.

00:38:49.640 They're out.

00:38:49.920 Well, they lay around a lot, but they're frisky,

00:38:52.300 and they play a lot with each other.

00:38:53.600 It's fun.

00:40:50.900 If you believe the truth still matters, you're in the right place.

00:40:56.220 Glenn Beck will be right back.

00:41:13.260 so president trump has just released another statement saying it's a false story about the

00:41:25.860 300 million dollar investment fund for iran he says u.s is not investing 10 cents he just was

00:41:32.440 speaking at the g7 summit in france before he leaves he said you have to understand this mou

00:41:38.580 is not final. And if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the 0.99

00:41:43.500 middle of their head. And then he also said the Strait of Hormuz will be open in full in the next 0.95

00:41:48.900 day or two, noting how oil prices are tumbling down. He said, if it's not, the alternative will

00:41:54.260 be a worldwide depression. And he's right about that. So I just think there's something more

00:41:58.860 that is coming out of this. Don't listen. Here, the people who are telling you it's all bad

00:42:04.180 may end up being right. I'm not saying that they're wrong. I'm saying they don't know and

00:42:08.320 they're speculating. And at least in my life, I am trying really hard not to speculate on things.

00:42:15.860 Why borrow trouble? You got enough trouble. Why borrow more? Especially when you don't even know

00:42:23.620 if it's true or it's going to happen. So let's just deal with the things we know about because

00:42:29.960 I think that's a big enough burden. And then let's, you know, I'm dropping a mouse at your

00:42:34.680 foot. That's what's happening here. I'm dropping a mouse at your foot. I'm saying, you're part of

00:42:39.860 my pack. I love you. I appreciate you. Let's stick together. That's what these dogs were saying to

00:42:46.740 my wife. And I don't buy it, little dog. But anyway, that's what I'm trying to do for you.

00:42:55.220 I'm trying to drop some stuff at your feet saying, look, I'm giving you some stuff here that I know

00:42:59.320 is good it's not a dead mouse uh it's good stuff don't there's no reason no reason to borrow 0.88

00:43:07.440 trouble clean your life out of all of that crap so we just don't we don't go insane because 0.69

00:43:15.180 my family is riddled with insanity and it's not a good look it's just not a good look you know 0.98

00:43:22.860 and eventually you're wearing clothes that, you know, are issued at an institution.

00:43:29.680 Let's focus on the things we can change and that are real.

00:45:48.220 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:46:06.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:14.980 Hello, America.

00:46:16.180 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:17.420 We have a lot to talk about who is leaking things at the White House.

00:46:22.360 This is getting dangerous because it's now being leaked out of the Situation Room, which is really bad.

00:46:26.940 I also want to touch base a little bit more on Rupert Lowe's rape gangs.

00:46:31.240 The details coming out of England now are just absolutely shocking and horrifying.

00:46:37.320 What the government of England has just overlooked, refused to look at it, and told everybody else, you're the problem.

00:46:46.780 Wait until you hear this story.

00:46:48.400 Also, I want to talk about this story that came out yesterday about starter homes and how expensive they are in America.

00:46:53.940 It's true, but it's half true.

00:46:56.620 It's half true.

00:46:57.260 And I want to give you the full picture because I think this is yet another attempt by the press, probably a Marxist writer that hates America, that is just trying to depress you and convince you nothing is good.

00:47:12.500 there's a lot of stuff that is good and including in homes and buying homes and i want to share that

00:47:17.580 with you here coming up a little in a little while but we got more details from a breaking

00:47:21.840 news story that happened yesterday while we were on the air on the south lawn of the white house

00:47:26.220 during the cage fight there was somebody that literally wanted to start a civil war and thank

00:47:31.880 god we caught them i don't know if you heard how we caught them but it is a remarkable story of a

00:47:39.220 of an American hero, really, truly, an American hero stopped it. And I'm going to talk about that

00:47:44.500 here in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. JJ called in

00:47:49.420 the other day, left us a message about an experience with real estate agents I trust.

00:47:53.560 And here's what he said. He said, Glenn, we closed on our new home in the Treasure Valley

00:47:57.320 in Idaho. Lisa was the realtor. I put her in touch with Glenn's company, and she was such a help.

00:48:06.380 We visited the area just a few times before deciding this was our home for the next stage in our life.

00:48:12.640 With delay after delay in selling our home in California, Lisa was always there with calming words and patience that we needed.

00:48:19.460 Thank you. Thank you for everything, JJ.

00:48:23.260 You know, JJ, let me just say thank you for giving my company a shot.

00:48:26.400 First of all, I'm glad for both of you that you got the home that you wanted and you got out of California.

00:48:30.840 Trust me, you're going to love Idaho a lot more.

00:48:33.420 And Lisa, thank you for being everything that I say our agents are.

00:48:38.000 A real estate agent that you can trust.

00:48:41.180 They will show you how you can not only buy or sell your home at this time in this market,

00:48:47.140 but also how to do it right, save money, and get the best price on your new house.

00:48:51.660 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:55.200 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:57.160 Okay.

00:48:57.680 So this last Sunday, on the lawn of the White House, there was a cage fight.

00:49:04.040 UFC, June 14th, President's 80th birthday.

00:49:08.040 America's 250th, right around the corner.

00:49:10.660 Thousands of people are standing on the lawn of the people's house.

00:49:14.940 And five young men that we know of wanted to turn that lawn into a slaughterhouse.

00:49:21.220 Now, here is the plan, according to the federal complaint that was unsealed yesterday.

00:49:25.620 Drones, small ones, commercial ones, loaded with explosives,

00:49:29.760 flown over the arena and detonated to start panic.

00:49:34.040 As the crowd would run, as it was supposed to be kind of herded,

00:49:39.000 it would be herded and run through certain gates where they had sniper teams ready.

00:49:45.500 This was the plan.

00:49:46.840 Then a second wave was going to try to storm the gate of the White House itself.

00:49:51.100 So set off some explosions, get everybody to run through a certain gate, 0.74

00:49:54.760 Just start killing people through that gate and then storm the gates of the White House. 0.79

00:49:58.960 This is a coordinated massacre designed in tiers with assigned roles, shooters, shooter locations, even an escape route down the Potomac. 0.98

00:50:10.620 Now, I'm going to give you the names.

00:50:12.700 You know, they're presumed innocent, and I honor that, but they are charged, and the names are important.

00:50:17.320 Tyson Proper, 19 years old, out of Danville, Ohio.

00:50:21.780 Daniel Eskridge, out of Missouri.

00:50:24.480 Abraham Alvarez out of Nebraska.

00:50:28.120 Brian Rowe and Michael Thomas out of California.

00:50:32.120 All sound like Americans to me.

00:50:34.480 That's important.

00:50:36.400 Now, behind them, a chat group of around 19 people.

00:50:41.640 What stopped it?

00:50:43.360 How did we find out about it?

00:50:45.300 How did we stop these guys?

00:50:47.480 You ready?

00:50:48.380 You want to talk about American hero?

00:50:51.360 The leader's mom.

00:50:53.600 Tyson Proper's mom.

00:50:56.400 She called the police on her own son.

00:50:59.920 She had been watching him.

00:51:01.740 She watched him spend $3,000 of his graduation money.

00:51:05.980 Graduation money.

00:51:07.460 He bought a shotgun.

00:51:08.340 He bought body armor, ammunition, and extra magazines.

00:51:12.800 She watched him as he kind of disappeared into his phone.

00:51:16.760 And then she did the single hardest thing a parent can ever do.

00:51:20.300 This woman is a hero.

00:51:22.680 she picked up the phone and she said,

00:51:26.000 I think something's wrong with my son.

00:51:30.440 I think he's going to hurt people.

00:51:35.840 You know how hard that is?

00:51:38.340 That woman saved lives this week.

00:51:41.880 Remember her when the rest of this fades,

00:51:44.980 because she is really the hero.

00:51:49.520 So how has he turned?

00:51:51.980 because it took three months.

00:51:53.640 Group that called itself,

00:51:54.920 and I want you to hear this,

00:51:57.380 the name of the group that approached him

00:51:59.120 was Vanguard of the Old.

00:52:01.880 It started on TikTok back in March.

00:52:04.980 That was three months ago.

00:52:07.840 Then it moved to encrypted apps,

00:52:10.080 and then it was Signal and SimpleX,

00:52:12.640 and all of it is wrapped in religious language.

00:52:18.400 See if you find any patterns here.

00:52:21.320 Now, it was full of real grievances.

00:52:24.260 And what do I say about grievances all the time?

00:52:26.520 What is the thing that I say that most people who just hate the grievance culture like I do refuse to say?

00:52:33.400 You cannot, you will not solve any of these problems if you will not say these words.

00:52:40.500 A lot of these grievances are absolutely true or based in true facts.

00:52:47.620 The Epstein Files.

00:52:49.740 I don't know what the truth is there, but I know we don't have it.

00:52:53.900 Government corruption.

00:52:55.580 Yep, in spades we have that.

00:52:58.400 Data centers eating up our power and our towns.

00:53:01.780 That is more perception than reality, but perception is reality a lot of the times.

00:53:08.120 So I've stood at the chalkboard and talked to you about these things over and over and over again,

00:53:13.760 which is exactly why I have to do this monologue right now,

00:53:17.240 because the grievance is real the conclusion the cure is demonic now here's what the fbi says this

00:53:27.140 group believed in their own words that the united states and i'm quoting needed to be torn down

00:53:33.040 so that it could be rebuilt one of them said the whole point of the attack was to jump start a

00:53:40.020 revolution. That is, that's John Wilkes Booth gang. That sentence, torn down so it can be rebuilt,

00:53:51.220 also has a modern name because it's an ideology and it's called accelerationism.

00:53:57.820 Now I have mentioned this before on a chalkboard a couple of times, but I've never stopped. I

00:54:04.400 wanted to put it up on my chalkboard today because it's really important. This is the thing that I've

00:54:10.600 been trying to warn you about from three or four different directions for the last two or three

00:54:16.020 years. What is accelerationism? There's a problem. Okay, well, the way to solve that problem is pour

00:54:24.360 gasoline on it and burn it down. It's simple, and that's what makes it so dangerous. It says the

00:54:30.180 system is so corrupt, so far gone, so irredeemable that the most moral thing you can do is make it

00:54:37.260 collapse faster. That sounds like the 12ers. Don't reform it, don't repair it, pour gasoline on it 1.00

00:54:45.840 and burn it to the ground because only out of the ashes, only out of the chaos can the real thing

00:54:53.060 finally be born. Now this comes in a lot of flavors and I've talked about all the flavors.

00:55:00.180 There's a violent neo-Nazi version, groups you may never have heard of, Atomwaffen.

00:55:08.700 Then there's the base, whose whole strategy is to provoke a race war by making society ungovernable,

00:55:15.240 and whose Bible is a book literally called Siege.

00:55:19.520 Then there's the tech version, far less violent.

00:55:23.060 It just wants to slam the gas pedal on AI and AGI and ASI and just let the chips fall where they may.

00:55:30.180 And then there is the philosophical version.

00:55:33.680 Going back to a man named Nick Land, he took a fringe academic idea and turned it pitch black, dark as night.

00:55:43.400 But you strip away the Baskin-Robbins 32 flavors of this, and it's the same rotten core in every single one of them.

00:55:51.040 The world and society is not worth saving. 0.99

00:55:55.100 Burn it.

00:55:56.680 Because out of the ashes, something better will rise.

00:56:00.860 Okay, that's not true, and that never happens that way.

00:56:04.060 But if the logic sounds familiar to you, it should,

00:56:07.740 because I have been warning you for the better part of a decade,

00:56:11.360 and especially in the last three weeks, of the Russian named Alexander Dugan.

00:56:15.740 Dugan does not wear the accelerationist label.

00:56:19.400 He has his own label.

00:56:21.380 It's fourth political theory, Eurasianism.

00:56:25.400 But if you listen to the music underneath the words,

00:56:28.700 it's exactly the same song. Dugan looks at the liberal Western order, everything that has been

00:56:35.340 built since the Enlightenment, since people said, no, I have my own independent right and I was

00:56:44.120 endowed with certain inalienable rights. He says this is decadent. It's finished. It deserves to

00:56:50.780 die. And chaos is the womb of the new world. He does not want to fix the West. He wants to destroy 1.00

00:56:58.040 it. And he is patient, he is sophisticated, and he is laundering that idea into Christian language, 0.97

00:57:05.560 into conservative language, into anti-establishment language, until good people who are angry for good

00:57:11.960 reasons start nodding along to a man who wants their entire civilization in the grave. And that

00:57:18.540 is happening. That is who these kids were. The vanguard of the old just wrapped their nihilism

00:57:26.320 in religious phraseology.

00:57:29.600 Dugan raps his in philosophy.

00:57:31.920 The neo-Nazis rap theirs in race.

00:57:34.720 The grievance changes, the rapping changes,

00:57:37.440 but the core never changes.

00:57:39.420 Tear it all down.

00:57:41.280 That's why the ends never justify the means

00:57:44.780 because it always ends in chaos.

00:57:49.020 Now, here's the terrible genius of it.

00:57:51.440 Accelerationism, it almost never starts with a monster.

00:57:54.860 it starts with somebody who is absolutely right about something right yes yes yes you get it look

00:58:04.980 at the corruption yes epstein's friends they did get protected yes you're right it is broken and

00:58:12.620 i can't see a way out the lie is not in the grievance the lie is in the leap from yes you're 0.91

00:58:19.580 right, it is broken, to this is irredeemable, burn it to the ground. That's BLM.

00:58:32.720 So how do you not become that? How do you protect so your kids don't become that?

00:58:40.840 You're 19. You've had a horrible education. You see things that are really happening and you're

00:58:48.680 like this, Scott, how do you keep yourself from making that leap? I'm going to tell you.

00:58:54.140 And it's going to sound really, really simple, but I believe it is the entire ball game.

00:58:58.960 And I'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:59:03.240 Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.

00:59:07.680 Okay. If you're a business owner, you know, you've probably had this fantasy more than once.

00:59:16.280 no questions, no fires to put out, no customer who somehow managed to click that one button

00:59:20.560 clearly that said, do not click this button. Just peace, you know, for five minutes without

00:59:25.040 somebody needing something from you. Yeah. Yeah. Hello, Walt Disney. That's never going to happen.

00:59:31.960 The price of owning a business is that you become the person responsible for everything,

00:59:37.120 which is why I'm such a fan of, you know, anything that takes somebody off, something

00:59:41.720 off your plate instead of adding to it, because that's what I want in my life. This is what

00:59:46.740 SuperSure does. They make business insurance really simple. Their platform helps you find

00:59:51.520 the coverage you need, manage your policies, and keep track of everything in one place without

01:00:17.480 That's supersure.com slash Beck.

01:00:20.100 10 seconds.

01:00:20.640 Station ID.

01:00:35.180 Okay, so it's going to sound simple,

01:00:37.720 but here is the way to make sure that you guard yourself and your family from ever being

01:00:42.440 talked into something like this. And I warn you, it is going to get so hard to tell the difference

01:00:50.000 between right and wrong. It is going to become very, very difficult. Even the very elect will

01:00:57.200 be lost in these days, okay? First thing you have to do is be able to hold two true things, okay?

01:01:04.720 you have two hands hold two truths at the same time in this hand you hold wow america's done a

01:01:14.280 lot of evil slavery was evil we broke treaties with the native americans we did a lot of really

01:01:20.280 bad things and we're still kind of doing some things then in the other hand yeah we've done

01:01:26.760 some real things that are genuinely shameful but our country is also really really good

01:01:34.100 You know, I can say that we've done bad and I can say it out loud.

01:01:40.680 If I don't, I don't really love my country.

01:01:43.900 You know what I mean?

01:01:44.540 What I love is the idea of my country.

01:01:48.640 You know, the person who thinks that America is all good is just one bad news cycle away from believing America is all bad.

01:01:56.920 So you have to believe both these things.

01:02:00.220 At the same moment, you're like, yeah, this is bad.

01:02:02.500 And I admit this is bad.

01:02:04.100 but on the other hand,

01:02:06.520 America is still the greatest engine for human freedom

01:02:08.680 and human dignity the world has ever produced.

01:02:11.960 The principles we chartered that made,

01:02:15.040 that you're made in the image of God,

01:02:16.860 that your rights come from him

01:02:18.460 and not from any king or Congress,

01:02:20.500 and all of us are created equal,

01:02:22.180 doesn't matter what your skin color is.

01:02:23.520 Those principles, they were handed to us

01:02:28.820 and we're to protect them,

01:02:31.260 and they indicted our own sins

01:02:33.940 and they were given to us as tools to repair those things.

01:02:37.480 Frederick Douglass figured this out.

01:02:39.100 He held the full horror of slavery in one hand

01:02:41.380 and the Constitution in the other.

01:02:42.720 And he didn't say burn the Constitution.

01:02:44.780 He said, make it keep its promises.

01:02:47.000 Same thing, Martin Luther King.

01:02:48.480 That's the answer to accelerationism.

01:02:51.820 It's not blind cheerleading.

01:02:53.560 Not my country, right or wrong.

01:02:55.000 My country, love it or leave it.

01:02:56.580 That's not.

01:02:57.540 And it's not the cynic sneer

01:02:58.980 that the whole thing was alive from the start.

01:03:01.620 It's the honest look, the whole story, the good and the bad held together,

01:03:07.920 refusing to let go of either one.

01:03:11.040 Because here's what the people who want to tear it all down are counting on.

01:03:14.860 They are counting on you not knowing the American story. 0.97

01:03:19.380 They prey on the ignorant, the disillusioned, 0.84

01:03:23.200 because a man who doesn't know what he has can be talked into throwing it away. 0.71

01:03:28.260 30 years ago, we would have never been able to be talked out of this.

01:03:32.600 Never.

01:03:32.880 We would have said, are you out of your mind?

01:03:37.140 A man who is only being told America is perfect. 0.89

01:03:40.460 A man who is only being told America is wicked.

01:03:44.120 Those two men are far more alike than either one of them knows.

01:03:48.920 Both of them are ripe to be recruited.

01:03:52.080 Only the man who holds the truth, the whole truth, in both hands is inoculated.

01:04:01.000 That's why America's story matters so much.

01:04:04.880 That's why our founding documents matter so much.

01:04:08.020 That's why I am putting literally everything I have into a renewal in education

01:04:14.780 to be able to teach the American story in as many ways as we can teach.

01:04:21.180 teaching our kids, actually teaching,

01:04:23.600 not the propaganda version and not the demolition version,

01:04:27.280 but the real, complicated, glorious, fallen,

01:04:30.920 redeemable truth of this country.

01:04:34.940 That's not a history lesson.

01:04:36.620 That's a national defense. 0.99

01:04:39.480 A mom in Ohio saved lives this week with a phone call.

01:04:43.620 Do you know why?

01:04:44.760 Because she held two truths in two separate hands.

01:04:47.880 this is my son. I love him. I know he's a good boy. And something has my son by the throat

01:04:58.600 and he's become a danger. She saved lives because she held those two truths.

01:05:07.760 What? You don't love me? How dare you call the police on me? No, I call the police because I do

01:05:12.360 love you. I'm telling you the truth about America because I do love America. It's the only way to

01:05:18.980 save America. We can save a generation by handing them the one thing the vanguard of the old or 0.99

01:05:26.880 Dugan will never give, and that is the truth, the good, the bad, and the ugly. A country seen clearly

01:05:35.820 will be a country seen as worth saving

01:05:40.260 for the good of mankind, not just for us.

01:05:45.180 Because if this one goes into the ash heap,

01:05:47.740 there is no guarantee, none,

01:05:49.980 that what will rise after it will be better.

01:05:52.440 In fact, history tells us it's almost every time way worse.

01:05:59.960 So what do you do?

01:06:01.400 You know your story.

01:06:03.440 learn the story in any way you can learn the story do not ever let an angry man with a real

01:06:11.540 complaint talk you into burning down the last best hope of earth because that's what we are

01:06:19.260 if you would like to learn the story from me i would love to help you do it we have

01:06:26.480 the third largest collection of american founding documents the only one that beat us national

01:06:31.360 Archives and the Library of Congress. We put it all into AI. We have historians working on it,

01:06:37.200 looking at the whole good, bad, and ugly story, and we've crafted the American story. It's a 20-part

01:06:43.880 series that you can get right now. I think we've released up to number 15 at Torch. You can find

01:06:50.100 it all at torch250.com, torch250.com. All right, Saturday afternoon, you're at the park. You're

01:06:56.640 there with your grandkids. Beautiful day. Kids are playing. People are walking their dogs.

01:07:00.840 Everything is exactly the way you'd hope it would be, and then you hear shouting, and you look over at a man, and you see a man stumbling across the field, screaming at people who aren't talking to him.

01:07:11.880 He's kicking over trash cans, cursing at strangers, getting more and more agitated by the second, and then he starts heading towards the playground.

01:07:18.040 Now, maybe he's having a mental health crisis.

01:07:20.200 Maybe he's high.

01:07:21.080 Maybe he's drunk.

01:07:21.640 I don't know.

01:07:22.660 At that moment, it doesn't really matter.

01:07:25.080 There is a large, unpredictable, aggressive man moving towards your grandkids or your kids.

01:07:30.840 You need to stop him.

01:07:32.860 You can call police.

01:07:34.180 Will they get there in time?

01:07:35.900 This is why I like Berna,

01:07:37.140 because not every threat requires lethal force.

01:07:39.880 Sometimes you don't need to end his life.

01:07:42.000 You don't want to shoot him.

01:07:42.780 You don't know what's going on.

01:07:44.620 But you need to end the threat.

01:07:46.800 Berna's less lethal launchers give you the ability

01:07:48.820 to stop that aggressor from a safe distance,

01:07:51.420 helping create safety for the people you love.

01:07:53.620 Right now, Berna is offering $100 off the Berna LE,

01:07:57.560 the Gen 2.

01:07:58.220 Visit Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. Secure yours while supplies last. It's Burna dot com. Burna dot com.

01:08:06.960 Coming up, million dollar starter homes and $800 electric bills. Glenn shows you how to win anyway. Stay with us on the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:28.220 your kids will never forget the bill of rights after this and neither will you learn and sing

01:08:44.320 along at torch 250.com well that sounds so boring and something like i would never ever do oh i'm

01:08:55.900 going to sing along with the bill of rights uh i'm sorry i wrote that so i don't know what was

01:09:00.880 wrong with me but um uh it it is something we are teaching history in a completely different way now

01:09:08.000 and i am trying to hit people i know everybody i learn differently than most people do you know i

01:09:13.140 learned something about my wife we were um building this house and you know and i designed it in my

01:09:18.960 head and i would draw it out for her and then then we would go and it was interior design and i

01:09:24.760 couldn't even get the construction people to see the design in their head um you know i'd be like

01:09:30.640 i want this to be hand hewn and i want this to be stone and they were like that won't work together

01:09:36.340 and i'm like it trust me it will um and my wife said to me honey you just have to do it because

01:09:42.980 i can't see it and i could not relate to somebody who couldn't visualize things in her in their head

01:09:49.400 and most people are like that. But she has things that I cannot do. I can't do. We all have our own

01:09:57.160 skills and our own way of learning, our own way of seeing things, our own way of coping or whatever.

01:10:03.560 And so I've tried to take with my staff, and we are just beginning. We haven't hired a head of

01:10:10.160 education yet. I'm looking for a head of education that wants to work with us on Torch. But somebody

01:10:15.640 that can help us take all of these documents that we have and tell the whole story, good,

01:10:20.740 bad, and ugly in several different ways, from storytelling to just facts and documents to

01:10:26.280 music to God only knows, plays, movies, whatever. But we're going to try to teach it in as many

01:10:33.280 different ways as we can because we all learn differently. And one of the things that I know

01:10:37.400 we have in common is if you grew up, when I grew up, schoolhouse rock played a huge role in your

01:10:43.260 life. There's so many things that you understand because of schoolhouse rock. That's what we've

01:10:47.860 done with the bill of rights. We've made 10 schoolhouse rock songs about each of the bill

01:10:54.120 of rights, the first 10 amendments of the bill of rights. Uh, and, um, if you want them, you can

01:10:59.940 just go to, uh, torch two 50.com. It's a summer of learning the summer of two 50. All right.

01:11:05.960 Now, if you know the truth, if you haven't had hope taken from you yet, you have a chance to survive.

01:11:19.500 But if you don't know the truth and people have destroyed your hope, then there's nothing we can do.

01:11:26.240 So let me give you a headline here because I think some of the headlines and some of the stories, they're designed to make you quit.

01:11:31.720 Whether they actually think that way or not, if you read them, it's almost as if they were absolutely designed to make you quit.

01:11:39.880 So I want to give you two numbers, and I want to tell you why neither one of them gets to decide what your life looks like.

01:11:45.940 And remember, these are grievances, so they're true, partly.

01:11:51.480 Here's the first story.

01:11:52.500 As of today, there are 242 cities in this country where the typical starter home, the first rung, the one that's supposed to be for the beginners, cost a million or more dollars.

01:12:07.480 A million dollars for a starter.

01:12:09.680 Are you out of your mind?

01:12:11.160 By the way, before the pandemic, that number was not 242.

01:12:15.860 It was 80.

01:12:17.420 So in five years, it nearly tripled.

01:12:20.340 tripled. California, of course, leads the pack. The fastest growth right now is in New York and

01:12:26.820 New Jersey. And if you're a young person, you're watching that, you're doing the math, you're

01:12:30.560 thinking, there's no way I'm going to ever, ever, ever be able to own a home. I can't. A starter

01:12:34.780 home? The door is closed and locked before I even got up onto the stoop. Now, here's the second

01:12:43.060 story. Americans are projected to spend almost $800 on electricity just getting through this

01:12:49.560 summer. June through September, that's up more than 10% from last year. Now, the pros at the

01:12:57.980 National Energy Assistance Directors Association will tell you it's a stack of things all landing

01:13:02.980 at once. Hotter summers, more air conditioning, aging grid that needs hundreds of billions in

01:13:09.320 upgrades, the new AI day centers, the data centers that everybody loves to point at,

01:13:13.740 and inflation. Monthly bills are up 23% since 2019. And right now, one in six Americans,

01:13:22.880 one in six households is behind on the utility bill. Arizona is getting hit the hardest. Then

01:13:29.280 it's Connecticut, Washington state, North Dakota has it the easiest. Okay. Now, if I stopped right

01:13:35.640 there, I've done my job. That's what media always does. They just tell you that and then they leave

01:13:41.540 it alone i've handed you a brick and i've called it news you know what they used to call the space

01:13:49.440 shuttle you love this pilots used to say the people who flew the space shuttle said it's a

01:13:54.620 flying brick kind of the same thing with helicopters you're you're coming in you don't have enough

01:14:00.700 wings you know you don't you cannot turn that thing it's falling out of the sky the same thing

01:14:05.480 with helicopters. It's actually something that is defying all odds and just falling out of the,

01:14:11.540 you stop the speed and you fall like a brick, okay? That's what you are. That's what people

01:14:19.200 are trying to make you into, a falling brick. Because we don't know our story, because we

01:14:24.980 believe the lies of social media, because our culture is doing nothing but giving you more

01:14:30.100 reasons to be disgruntled and depressed you've lost all your speed you've lost the truth and

01:14:35.920 you're in free fall if you lose the truth next thing you lose is hope a lot of americans i wanted

01:14:43.040 to say most but i don't think that's true a lot of americans have lost both so let me give you

01:14:47.380 the truth under the headline because the truth is where you're going to find hope the honest hope

01:14:53.840 not the cheap kind of hope not like you know what tiger you just keep on swinging let's start with

01:14:59.740 million-dollar house. That number is real. It's not your number. Because buried in the same report

01:15:07.620 is the figure that nobody put in the story or the headline. The typical starter home in America 0.77

01:15:14.020 is worth $198,649. Now, that is still a lot of money, but it's not a million dollars.

01:15:22.740 It's under 200,000.

01:15:26.120 Those 242 terrifying cities are all clustered where?

01:15:31.540 On the expensive coastlines.

01:15:34.180 And the lie the algorithm tells you is that those cities are America.

01:15:38.400 They're not.

01:15:39.480 In so many ways, they're not.

01:15:41.760 You weren't required to start your life in San Jose or San Francisco or New York City.

01:15:48.100 I don't know if you know this.

01:15:48.840 There's a whole country between the coast where the math still works.

01:15:53.300 And a lot of that is in the part of the country I happen to love the most.

01:15:56.940 Now, don't get me wrong.

01:15:58.580 The prices here in my own town of 500 people here in Idaho, the prices of land has gone through the roof.

01:16:07.160 So it is real.

01:16:13.340 But let me tell you a more important truth.

01:16:15.200 and i want to say this plainly because somebody sold us a counterfeit and we're buying it

01:16:22.700 a starter home was never supposed to be a finished home a generation that built the

01:16:28.820 american middle class started in places like levittown okay that's in new york their little

01:16:35.460 teeny boxes 750 square feet one bathroom unfinished addict no frills that was the american starter 0.80

01:16:43.940 home. Do you know anybody who's looking at a starter home in a normal place at 750 square

01:16:52.340 feet, unfinished, maybe needs some work? Okay. They didn't start where your parents

01:17:00.160 ended. You want to, no, not you. A lot of people think they're going to start close to where their

01:17:09.560 parents ended what our parents and grandparents did they started small and they built outward

01:17:16.240 room by room decade after decade with their own two hands you know the thing that's new is not

01:17:21.600 the price the thing that is new is the expectation that is fed to you today on your screen that your

01:17:30.140 home should look like everybody else's last home the granite countertop that one on your feed

01:17:36.180 that's the most expensive lie in America

01:17:38.860 because it's absolutely free to look

01:17:41.580 but it costs you your contentment

01:17:44.480 we're also told the truth about ourselves

01:17:47.780 a minute ago

01:17:48.840 I'm not going to walk this one back

01:17:53.300 here it is

01:17:54.080 somewhere along the line we lost the skills

01:17:56.260 the cheap house that needs work

01:17:59.040 used to be the on-ramp

01:18:00.740 you bought the ugly one

01:18:02.180 you learned to swing a hammer

01:18:03.760 you hung a door

01:18:04.600 you run a line of caulk, you turn sweat into equity.

01:18:09.020 That's something the bank could never give you.

01:18:12.240 Those skills didn't disappear off the face of the earth.

01:18:14.960 They're just forgotten.

01:18:17.140 And anything that can be forgotten can be relearned by you this year on weekends.

01:18:22.640 You know, off your phone that is usually making you feel inadequate,

01:18:26.960 use it to teach you how to do these things.

01:18:31.220 The most tangible hope I can give a 26-year-old

01:18:34.180 the path your grandfather took is still open and the toll on it is paid in effort not in a number

01:18:42.500 you'll never reach now let me talk to you about the electricity bill i gotta blow you blow smoke

01:18:49.980 because you're smarter you're smarter than that you'll see right through it if you are one of the

01:18:55.320 one in six the why is not warming or cooling your house knowing the ai data center

01:19:04.080 or only part of the problem doesn't lower the number on that envelope

01:19:07.480 that you're avoiding now because you can't pay it.

01:19:10.080 That pressure is real and it is cruel.

01:19:13.320 And I'm not going to pretend anything I'm going to tell you is going to fix it.

01:19:17.920 But let me go back to what I said 20 minutes ago.

01:19:20.300 Hold two things in two different hands at the same time.

01:19:23.920 First, this grid, every bit of wire in it was built by a past generation.

01:19:32.600 And we ignored it.

01:19:34.080 We ignored it because nobody wanted to pay the cost of fixing it and updating it.

01:19:38.160 So we ignored it.

01:19:39.840 But the same generation, one generation, electrified a continent that had been dark since the beginning of time.

01:19:49.940 One generation. 0.95

01:19:52.800 Abundance was a choice that we made. 0.63

01:19:55.040 And it wasn't made just by the average person.

01:19:57.080 It was made by the politicians and everybody else.

01:20:00.920 We wanted the abundance.

01:20:03.580 We made a choice, and that means we can make that choice again.

01:20:07.960 The fact that it's hard does not make it impossible.

01:20:11.800 And second, closer to home, if you are walking through the hot summer

01:20:15.380 and the cold winters on tight margins,

01:20:17.840 that's been happening for as long as there's been families.

01:20:21.400 But sometimes pride gets in our way.

01:20:29.020 The way our parents and grandparents used to get through it

01:20:32.220 was they would lean on a neighbor.

01:20:35.400 They were honest about the budget around the kitchen table.

01:20:39.060 And they refused to be ashamed to the point of real pain.

01:20:47.420 My grandparents did not want to say anything about their,

01:20:50.600 because they knew everybody had problems.

01:20:52.940 My father was the same way.

01:20:55.060 We do not take government money.

01:20:56.820 We don't take charity, blah, blah, blah.

01:20:59.140 Unless, there was always an unless,

01:21:00.760 unless there is no way you can make it any other way.

01:21:06.920 Utility company has hardship programs.

01:21:09.360 The church down the street has a fund.

01:21:12.620 The shame is the only part of this that you can put down.

01:21:16.360 And putting it down is free.

01:21:18.600 Sometimes people need help.

01:21:21.340 So let me leave you here.

01:21:23.740 The headline, 242 cities, $800, tripled.

01:21:30.680 Record highs.

01:21:33.300 What is that design?

01:21:34.540 I don't want to assign a reason somebody said.

01:21:39.000 What does that do to you?

01:21:40.300 Reading that.

01:21:41.360 What does that do to you?

01:21:43.820 It makes you feel checkmate, right?

01:21:47.980 It makes you say, this game's not for me.

01:21:51.220 Fold the board or worse, knock the board on the ground.

01:21:55.780 Burn it all down. 0.65

01:21:57.480 Here's the thing I want you to know.

01:21:58.980 I don't know your situation

01:22:00.860 but you're not in checkmate

01:22:03.560 you're not

01:22:04.620 you're being told in stories like this

01:22:07.280 about averages

01:22:08.240 and you don't live in an average

01:22:11.760 you live

01:22:14.580 moment to moment

01:22:15.900 in the decisions that only you can make

01:22:18.860 turn off the reel

01:22:20.380 that has been setting a standard

01:22:22.140 that no real person can meet

01:22:23.780 I'm telling you

01:22:24.820 I see things

01:22:26.240 I have done well for myself

01:22:28.760 I've worked hard, but I've done well, and I've been very fortunate.

01:22:32.360 But I see things on TikTok and Facebook, and I'm like, I can't afford it. 1.00

01:22:38.000 How does Piatto people live like this? 1.00

01:22:40.100 I really don't understand how people who are online, how some of these people live the way they do. 1.00

01:22:46.260 That's not normal.

01:22:47.880 I don't live that way.

01:22:49.120 How do they live this way?

01:22:52.040 Pick a place where the numbers actually work, and there's lots of them.

01:22:56.600 Learn a skill that turns the cheap house into a home.

01:23:00.680 Make the call that you've been too proud to make.

01:23:04.320 It's okay.

01:23:05.800 I don't like people living off of me or off the taxpayer,

01:23:10.500 but I don't mind.

01:23:11.900 That's what this is for.

01:23:12.960 I don't mind giving help to people who just need a Band-Aid.

01:23:19.560 They just need a little help to get back on their feet.

01:23:22.620 That's what this system is for,

01:23:24.120 and there are systems all around you that will do that.

01:23:27.800 These aren't slogans.

01:23:28.940 These are actual moves

01:23:30.140 and they all are within your reach this week.

01:23:34.420 The people who built this country,

01:23:36.200 they didn't start with anything.

01:23:38.860 They didn't start with certainty.

01:23:42.100 They started with their hands and their nerve

01:23:44.740 and the stubborn belief that tomorrow was theirs to build.

01:23:48.260 That's the only thing you're short of is hope.

01:23:51.180 the belief was right then and it's still right today you're going to make it not because it's

01:23:57.560 easy but because you're the kind of people who make it you're going to make it most of us don't

01:24:05.040 spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water you turn the faucet on

01:24:10.580 you fill a glass and you assume it's fine and it's been that way all of our lives right right

01:24:14.400 right well when you were a kid you didn't even think about you know filling your water from

01:24:19.720 a glass from the tap with water? Of course not. And maybe you haven't as an adult either,

01:24:23.560 but there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine? That is a common agricultural pesticide.

01:24:28.360 You know, there are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals with this stuff,

01:24:32.040 and it's known to run off into water sources. There's fluoride that the government puts into

01:24:37.920 water, of course, you know, for teeth, but like, yeah, do you want that? Do you not want it? Do

01:27:29.920 We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours.

01:27:38.860 All it takes is publicly available information, a forged signature, and some paperwork filed in the right place.

01:27:44.200 suddenly you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours you bought and paid for

01:29:10.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:29:17.320 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:29:20.400 I'm thrilled to have Harmeet Dillon join me here in just a second.

01:29:23.540 She is the Assistant Attorney General.

01:29:25.420 She's in charge of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. 0.80

01:29:28.340 And, boy, there are a lot of people hot under the collar with her and with the DOJ and Donald Trump 0.97

01:29:34.540 because they're dismantling the Department of Education.

01:29:38.260 For me, I'm a little disgruntled. It's not happening fast enough, but the progress that was made with this one announcement is huge, and the left is very, very upset because it's going to put the most vulnerable children at risk.

01:29:57.220 I know. I know. I've heard this song before. We hate children. We all want them to starve or die.

01:30:02.460 Yeah, not true. So what was done?

01:30:05.280 Harmeet's going to explain it to us here in just a second and why it was done by our DOJ 0.97

01:30:10.160 and then talk about some other civil rights things that only she can really.

01:30:14.840 She's such an authority on this. Such an amazing woman.

01:30:18.080 Harmeet Dillon joins us in 60 seconds. First, let me talk to you about American financing.

01:30:22.060 You know, today might be the day you need to hear about American financing

01:30:25.340 And they're a smart equity loan.

01:30:27.920 I don't know what's going on in your life.

01:30:29.560 I don't know what your credit card balances look like.

01:30:32.300 I do know what the rest of the finances might look like.

01:30:36.200 And if you have high credit card bills, those are high interest rates now.

01:30:42.360 And there is a tremendous resource in your house.

01:30:45.500 And most people don't think of it as a resource.

01:30:47.220 They think of it as a house, but it's equity.

01:30:49.840 And if you've been carrying high interest debt, that equity may be able to help dig your way out of it.

01:30:54.380 Now, the smart equity loan is designed to do that.

01:30:57.940 It allows qualified homeowners to access the equity to pay off the high interest debt.

01:31:02.020 And here's the most important part.

01:31:03.980 Without disrupting or disturbing your existing low rate first mortgage.

01:31:08.740 That's an important distinction.

01:31:11.740 There are no upfront fees to find out if you qualify.

01:31:14.800 You can save up to two months, maybe skip the next two payments for your mortgage.

01:31:19.160 You're going to save a buttload of money and not reset your low interest rate loan on your home.

01:31:24.380 That is really important.

01:31:26.000 Call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:31:31.080 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

01:31:33.200 NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

01:31:36.340 APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

01:31:40.060 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:31:44.560 Okay, so here is the headline.

01:31:47.100 The DOJ Civil Rights Division and the Department of Education

01:31:50.340 forge a new interagency agreement to restore parents' rights

01:31:53.320 and advance the plan to shuttering the Department of Education.

01:31:57.200 Oh my gosh, I could spend all day.

01:31:58.800 I'd like to take that sentence out on a date.

01:32:01.980 Harmeet is with us now.

01:32:03.180 Harmeet Dillon, welcome to the program, Harmeet.

01:32:05.640 Thanks for having me back, Glenn.

01:32:07.740 You bet.

01:32:08.140 So tell me exactly what you did.

01:32:12.460 What was the problem you were trying to solve?

01:32:14.440 What you did that made everybody so upset?

01:32:16.560 Well, this is certainly above my head in terms of the decision making, but really excited to be part of bringing it forward. And the plan was, of course, all along to wind down most of the functions of the Department of Education in terms of day to day work and hand them over to the subject matter experts.

01:32:33.200 So a significant part of the Department of Education's portfolio has gone over to HHS, and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is taking over the legal investigative functions that help enforce some of our important federal civil rights laws that, yes, protect America's children from abuse, from exploitation, and from discrimination.

01:32:57.340 And, you know, since that's what we do here at the Department of Justice, we investigate,

01:33:00.780 we prosecute, we bring people to accountability.

01:33:04.140 And because we were usually the endpoint of the process all along, now we've cut out the

01:33:09.540 middleman, which is Department of Education investigators and lawyers doing the investigations

01:33:13.940 and then handing over the results to us.

01:33:15.880 We're taking it all in-house for the Department of Education and doing that work for them

01:33:20.820 from soup to nuts.

01:33:22.180 Of course, they have the ultimate authority at the end of the day by statute.

01:33:24.980 but 99% of the work is going to be done here on that.

01:33:28.360 And that includes enforcing an important statute called FERPA.

01:33:32.480 And FERPA protects children and parental rights

01:33:35.200 from illegal gender ideology being forced down their throats

01:33:39.660 and requires them to have opt-outs.

01:33:41.780 And I could talk about some of the important challenges

01:33:44.260 that we're facing with the different states

01:33:45.720 that are simply ignoring this law and abusing children.

01:33:49.720 Why don't you go there?

01:33:50.860 Because I think this is really important

01:33:52.360 because they're going to say, this is hurting children.

01:33:54.360 No, this is protecting children and the relationship with their parents and the parents' rights to be able to say what that – because people will go into schools now and you can't even have access to what they're learning in school.

01:34:06.500 What are you teaching, my child?

01:34:08.320 None of your business.

01:34:09.680 This actually helps solve that, doesn't it?

01:34:12.580 Oh, 100%.

01:34:13.220 This law has been on the books for a while, but here's what's really happening with it.

01:34:16.900 So, Glenn, under natural law, of course, parents have the ultimate authority.

01:34:21.920 They're the ultimate, you know, sort of government, if you will, over the family.

01:34:26.560 And the United States Supreme Court has recognized this. 0.72

01:34:28.420 A couple of recent cases, the Mirabili case and the Mahmoud case, reinforce that parents

01:34:34.240 have the ultimate authority of what their children are taught, and specifically with

01:34:37.340 these sensitive issues like sexual activity and sexual orientation, gender identity stuff.

01:34:44.440 And schools are just blatantly ignoring this federal law and natural law, of course, and

01:34:50.180 they're just doing it behind parents' backs.

01:34:51.620 So first of all, many school districts like the entire California system and a couple of other states, they claim that so-called SOGI, sexual orientation, gender identity instruction, is not sex education.

01:35:05.560 And so it doesn't fall under the opt-out provisions of FERPA.

01:35:09.020 Not so, according to us, and we believe very clear Supreme Court precedent. 0.75

01:35:13.280 And so what they're doing in addition to that is even if a state allows an opt out like technically out of sex education, they're permeating this LGBTQ instruction into English classes, into other forms of instruction so that it's under the radar. 0.62

01:35:33.140 So you may think that you're opting your child out of sex education. But in fact, by law in Illinois, for example, they're being taught the history of LGBTQ activism in this country. They're being taught, no doubt, in English classes and other areas, other forms of sexually inflected programming. I don't know why they can't just, you know, sort of be straightforward about it. We know why, because they're trying to do this behind parents' backs. 0.53

01:35:56.820 Some schools, like in California, they maintain separate records for parents and then separate records privately for the children if they're going through gender transition, so to speak.

01:36:10.120 So they're hiding that from children.

01:36:11.880 It's illegal.

01:36:12.620 And before I came to this job, Glenn, in the Department of Justice, I sued school districts in California for doing this.

01:36:18.300 This is not a myth.

01:36:19.300 This is happening to thousands of children.

01:36:21.020 And so, you know, when you read these cases of these parents who wake up one day and they have a meeting with the school and they're told that their child is transitioning and you blame the parents, don't blame the parents.

01:36:32.240 This was happening behind the parents' backs and then it was sprung on them.

01:36:36.500 And so children have separate wardrobes they're keeping at school, separate names, separate identities.

01:36:41.320 Grooming is occurring of these children during lunch sessions as opposed to after school so the parents don't need to sign permission slips to know about it.

01:36:48.220 And it's outrageous. It's causing an epidemic of grief and harm and putting these children in more suicidal risk, not to mention being completely unnatural and a violation of parental rights.

01:36:58.660 And so we're standing up for these rights. We are the right place to enforce these federal statutes.

01:37:04.500 And we're so pleased to work with Linda McMahon and the others at the Department of Education to help improve the enforcement of these federal civil rights laws and fast track it.

01:37:12.960 So what do parents need to do?

01:37:15.500 Well, parents need to be very hands-on as to what their children are being taught at school.

01:37:19.360 They need to review the curriculum.

01:37:20.960 They need to show up at parent-teacher association meetings.

01:37:23.700 They need to be very active about it.

01:37:25.760 And they need to watch for any signs that their children are acting weird or hiding things from them.

01:37:30.860 And they need to go to these schools and insist on knowing what is being taught and, frankly, being willing to make some noise.

01:37:36.600 Now, the good news is, since I've been in the field, there are a lot more conservative lawyers out there who are willing to stand up for parents and parental rights.

01:37:44.440 and so there are resources out there. They have to be prepared to make noise and file lawsuits

01:37:49.000 if necessary. And this is what is making change in this country. That's how those lawsuits came

01:37:54.400 about. Occasionally, teachers will stand up and say, I refuse to hide things from parents.

01:37:58.940 And the Supreme Court has said very clearly, it's illegal for schools to hide from parents

01:38:02.820 what's going on with respect to any of these sexual type issues or frankly,

01:38:06.960 any issue. Parents are the ultimate authority of what their children are taught in the schools.

01:38:10.640 If teachers are hiding or administrators are hiding stuff, will they go to jail?

01:38:16.200 Well, jail is probably not the place that happens as an outcome unless there's sexual assault or something like that involved.

01:38:25.040 But certainly there could be civil liability.

01:38:27.700 Firing?

01:38:27.820 What would be the punishment that would be firing?

01:38:31.040 Civil liability for school districts.

01:38:33.820 You have to understand that what's happening in some of these cases is entire states.

01:38:37.380 Like I'm investigating Illinois, Michigan, California. Entire states have state laws that put teachers kind of in an awkward position. State law requires them to do X, Y, and Z. We say that's illegal. So we're taking the burden off of those teachers by doing Title IX investigations that look at risks of girls having boys in their locker rooms and so forth and in the sports, as well as this FERPA that I just mentioned.

01:39:02.980 and ultimately there's going to be litigation in some of these jurisdictions and ultimately a court

01:39:07.140 will force these schools to stop doing what they're doing. But make no mistake, what's happening is

01:39:12.620 these liberal states, you know, the states I mentioned, you can add to that mix, Minnesota,

01:39:18.140 Washington State, Oregon, some of these other jurisdictions are bent on forcing this sexual

01:39:25.200 material on children. Children in Illinois as young as five to seven are being taught about

01:39:31.960 gender identity. 11 and 12 year olds are being taught about anal sex. You know, none of this is 0.99

01:39:38.480 appropriate without parent sign off. And I argue it's not appropriate at all for those ages, but

01:39:43.080 you know, that's up to parents, but it's being hidden from parents. And so we're putting a stop

01:39:46.440 to it. Let me ask you, let's switch gears here. There was a story came out from Chris Ruffo

01:39:51.060 yesterday. I'm quoting California has hired teams of bureaucrats to run the state's gay 0.99

01:39:57.000 certification program. I don't even know what that is. Making lists and pressuring utilities

01:40:02.800 to spend 1.5% of their supplier budgets on gay certified companies. Is this legal? I mean, 0.99

01:40:09.560 that sounds, I don't care if it's gay or straight or white or black or whatever.

01:40:12.920 That doesn't seem legal in America. Okay. So I agree that it's illegal. The question is who can

01:40:23.000 sue, and what's the statutory basis. So this is something I'm looking at, but I want to put it in

01:40:27.860 context. It's actually a much bigger problem than what you just described. Everyone's kind of

01:40:32.060 lampooning. You have to get three friends to sign up and agree that you're gay, and then you get 0.82

01:40:35.940 certified as gay. But actually, this is part of a broader DEI initiative where they have minority 0.54

01:40:41.740 set-asides based on race, based on gender, based on other factors. And this was the vogue in

01:40:48.560 California, if you wanted to be a law firm, for example, getting work with a public utilities

01:40:53.500 commission or PG&E or one of these other Southern Cal Edison, you had a big leg up if you could 0.94

01:41:00.200 prove that you have partners in your firm who are black and they're going to be doing the work. 0.69

01:41:05.240 They were giving away bond underwriting to the tune of billions of dollars based on minority

01:41:11.200 identity of bankers and law firms. Same for gender. And I mean, how does that help the taxpayer 1.00

01:41:21.280 get the best services? How does that help the rate payer, everybody who consumes utilities in

01:41:27.260 the state of California, get the best rates? It doesn't. Obviously, when you have set-asides and

01:41:31.920 special contracts like that, you have inflation because people know that their status is a

01:41:38.620 commodity that they can actually sell because it's being forced on the state and on the rate

01:41:42.820 payers. So I think this is illegal. So we're definitely looking into what can be done about

01:41:47.060 it by the Department of Justice. But the other people who could do something about it, in some

01:41:51.340 instances, can be private parties who weren't picked for a contract because they don't have

01:41:56.960 the correct boxes checked. I don't know who somebody sleeps with is relevant to their provision

01:42:02.260 of utility-related support services. I don't know either.

01:42:05.760 That's rhetorical. I think we know it isn't. It's nonsense, and it needs to stop, and it's illegal.

01:42:11.000 Okay, one last. Being reported, DOJ trying to halt the first U.S. reparations program for black people. 0.56

01:42:18.300 Federal government said they asked a judge to halt the United States' first reparations program

01:42:23.400 offered black people in a small Illinois city $25,000 for 20th century race-based housing discrimination,

01:42:29.640 joining an existing lawsuit, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:42:31.880 It is the first and only of its kind in the U.S., allotting $20 million to black residents.

01:42:36.000 Their direct descendants who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969 suffered housing discrimination because of city ordinances, policies, or practices.

01:42:44.640 The city has already distributed over $7 million, blah, blah, blah.

01:42:48.580 Why is this illegal? 0.97

01:42:51.380 Or why do you hate black people so much? 0.97

01:42:54.260 It's illegal. 0.79

01:42:55.320 I love all Americans.

01:42:57.180 All Americans are entitled to civil rights.

01:42:59.640 and that is kind of our default position in this government. People find it radical, frankly,

01:43:06.340 what I'm saying, that all Americans are entitled to equal protection of the laws and equal civil

01:43:10.420 rights. So it's not that small a city. Evanston, Illinois is 75,000 population. And this law is

01:43:17.420 talking about making people whole for stuff that happened five generations ago. I wish. My mom was

01:43:22.780 a refugee. I mean, should I be getting reparations from the British for that, arguably perhaps? But

01:43:29.440 it was a long time ago. And I think it is illegal in today's day and age to take tax dollars from

01:43:36.380 all taxpayers and hand them to a protected class who did not suffer discrimination themselves,

01:43:41.400 to be very clear. This law is like if your parents lived in this city during a time period

01:43:48.340 100 to 50 years ago or 120 to 50 years ago, we're going to assume that you suffer discrimination

01:43:55.380 and we're going to pay you on the basis of that. That's ridiculous, and it's un-American. It's 0.96

01:44:00.160 pitting people against each other. You can imagine what kind of record-keeping shenanigans they're

01:44:05.120 going to be for people to make these claims. But what law is it breaking?

01:44:09.940 It's breaking the Civil Rights Act. It's breaking equal protection. It's fundamentally at odds with 0.98

01:44:15.860 our Constitution to treat people differently on the basis of race. That's what's happening here.

01:44:20.520 They're giving away money if you are, one, Black, and two, are a subset of Black and can prove that your ancestors lived in the city during a time period. 0.59

01:44:29.740 There's no rational reason for that. 0.59

01:44:32.600 And any kind of race-based classification system is subject to strict scrutiny under our constitutional analysis.

01:44:40.380 This cannot survive strict scrutiny because it does not remedy some current issue where there's discrimination based on race currently.

01:44:48.420 And all the Supreme Court precedents in recent years have moved away from this affirmative action slash DEI lens of looking at things based on past discrimination, and the focus is on current discrimination.

01:45:02.280 So, yes, if someone denies you housing today because you're Black, you absolutely should sue.

01:45:07.780 You should contact me because I'll be happy to take up that lawsuit for you. 0.65

01:45:11.220 Right.

01:45:11.360 But if it happened 100 years ago, you know, the clock has run on that.

01:45:17.240 I'm sorry.

01:45:17.740 It is time for people today to live on their own merits.

01:45:21.460 So, Harmeen, I've got to say, I love you.

01:45:23.980 I think you're doing a fantastic job.

01:45:26.300 Thank you for the announcement.

01:45:27.600 Thank you to Linda McMahon for what she's doing as well on this.

01:45:34.680 Don't get discouraged.

01:45:36.200 Keep fighting.

01:45:36.820 I know you're not, but don't get discouraged.

01:45:38.260 Keep fighting because you can see in what they're doing, they have not changed course.

01:45:43.240 And if anything, they have doubled down.

01:45:45.180 This has made them only more insistent that they are going a different direction.

01:45:52.320 And I think if we lose the next elections, we're in real trouble because they're going back with a vengeance.

01:45:59.160 With a vengeance.

01:46:00.100 I agree.

01:46:01.440 Thank you, Glenn.

01:46:02.200 Appreciate it.

01:46:03.120 You bet.

01:46:03.660 Good talking to you.

01:46:04.320 Let me tell you about American Giant, our sponsor.

01:46:06.320 If you're anywhere near my age, you've been paying close attention.

01:46:08.760 You've undoubtedly noticed that the quality of clothing in this country has gone steadily downhill for decades.

01:46:13.740 That's because, for the most part, clothes are manufactured elsewhere, cheaply.

01:46:17.260 Somewhere along the way, we stopped making clothes to last and started making them to replace.

01:46:22.300 That's one of the reasons why I love American Giant.

01:46:24.960 They took a look at that trend and decided to go the exact opposite direction.

01:46:28.640 They made their clothes right here in the United States in an American factory with American workers,

01:46:33.520 and they make them the way they used to make clothing.

01:46:38.520 Built to endure, that's American Giant.

01:46:41.440 You get the best sweatshirt, T-shirt.

01:46:43.540 You'll feel the difference in all of their clothing.

01:46:45.980 Immediately, you'll feel it.

01:46:47.220 It feels substantial.

01:46:48.460 It feels well-made.

01:46:49.740 It feels like somebody expected you to still be wearing it years from now.

01:46:52.920 What a concept, buying something once and having it last.

01:46:55.900 That used to be normal.

01:46:57.020 It is normal again with American Giant.

01:46:59.020 This Father's Day at American Giant, I want you to go to American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

01:47:04.800 Use my name and get 20% off your first purchase.

01:47:07.420 Dad's going to love all their clothing.

01:47:08.480 It's American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

01:47:12.380 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:47:23.120 The Bill of Rights has never been catchier.

01:47:26.600 Sing along at Torch250.com.

01:47:32.200 Ricky, I cover everything I needed to cover with Harmeet.

01:47:36.880 Oh, yeah.

01:47:37.480 There was, there's the story that's trending right now that I am not quite sure the civil rights division is ready to pick up, but I wish they would with the San Francisco Giants players who are Christians and their polite protest and having to wear a pride hat while they play baseball.

01:47:55.600 And they're just putting little Bible verses on the hat.

01:47:58.040 They're getting threats from the MLB that they have to stop.

01:48:01.680 This is in violation of their terms.

01:48:02.920 So I actually wanted to ask you, since we didn't have time to ask her, is there a violation of their constitutional rights in the First Amendment to put the Bible first on the hat if the MLB is a private organization?

01:48:16.120 Yeah, I don't think so.

01:48:17.480 They are at work wearing a uniform, and you're not making changes to those uniforms at all.

01:48:24.460 I mean, those uniforms, a lot goes into them.

01:48:27.720 They sell positions on the uniforms, et cetera, et cetera.

01:48:30.640 And I guarantee you it's not property of the player.

01:48:33.380 It's property of Major League Baseball or at least the team.

01:48:37.020 So I don't think they have a right to do that.

01:48:40.260 You know, you have a right to express yourself, but I hate to say it.

01:48:44.680 And Harmeet, I had it down on my list of things to talk to her about.

01:48:47.800 I overlooked it for some reason.

01:48:49.580 But I'm pretty sure they don't have a right to do that.

01:48:52.700 And I hate saying that, but to be fair, I don't think the Constitution.

01:48:56.940 What's the solution?

01:48:57.540 Quiet, like don't play the game?

01:49:00.640 uh yeah don't pay play the game i mean you're gonna pay for it one way or another but it depends

01:49:05.700 on how much you you believe in it so don't play the game um you know call in sick whatever it is

01:49:12.640 um but you run great risk there um but do you believe in it or not do you think it's wrong

01:49:17.840 um you don't have a right i mean i wouldn't want people to be able to have the right if it's my

01:49:24.960 company. I wouldn't want people to take my uniform and put some political slogan or God slogan on

01:49:31.660 there if it's not part of my uniform. That's something we can decide as a company. And so

01:49:37.120 everybody's just going to have to decide what price are they willing to pay for their belief.

01:49:44.640 And if you want to do anything in your private world, you've got every right to do it. But if

01:49:50.060 you're wearing an officially sanctioned uniform at work you don't have that right all right uh

01:49:58.340 let me tell you about uh rapid radios now that will never be enforced evenly i don't think uh

01:50:04.200 rapid radios let's say you take the whole family to disney world you left the hotel this morning

01:50:09.020 there was a plan there's always a plan you know where we're gonna stay together we're gonna move

01:50:12.480 as a group yeah nobody's gonna wander off that never happens your teenager has vanished in a

01:50:17.380 souvenir shop your wife is in line for a ride on the other side of the park and somebody is texting

01:50:21.640 you uh that they're by the big castle which is great except that disney world has about 40 000

01:50:28.460 things now that look like a big castle so the moment that you start appreciating uh rapid

01:50:33.200 radios is that moment that moment you're you're whether you're at a theme park county fair huge

01:50:39.020 sporting event or you're out like we were yesterday just working on the ranch we can talk to each

01:50:44.000 other no matter where they are in instant communication it's nice to able to it's nice

01:50:48.100 to be able to reach somebody instantly especially if there's a problem snake anyway uh it's rapid

01:50:54.220 radios rapid radios knock your stress level down just a bit rapid radios.com rapid radios.com

01:51:00.540 they ship fast from their headquarters in michigan rapid radios communication redefined

01:51:06.760 Coming up, Torch's Find Your Voice documentary premieres soon in Hollywood, and the man behind

01:51:15.400 the miracle studying cure that I apparently have joins Glenn next.

01:51:36.760 welcome to the glenn beck program we're so glad that you're here um you know at um at the torch

01:51:52.440 we started a series we've made one episode so far uh called find your voice and it's about

01:52:00.180 this particular episode is about alex and he has a stutter he's he's been stuttering since he was

01:52:05.500 five years old he knows exactly what he wants to say but he's not able to say it he has had

01:52:10.780 decades of therapy and strategies and it just nothing nothing worked for him um and so he kind

01:52:19.580 of got to this place i think he's about 30 years old he got to this place to where he wants to be

01:52:24.020 a real estate agent but he was having a hard time getting clients to trust him because he stutters

01:52:28.560 and people just think i don't know what they think when they see a stutterer um but they probably

01:52:34.520 thinking, you know, they're not fast enough. They're not on the ball enough. It takes too

01:52:37.420 time. It's uncomfortable, whatever. And he knows that. Um, and he found himself kind of alone in

01:52:42.960 many ways as well. He, you know, he had no love life or anything and he's a good looking, really

01:52:48.360 smart guy. Um, and so my friend Roger love, um, took him under his wing and did, I think two or

01:52:57.580 three lessons with him and said, look, this is really easy. It's not whatever it's not as hard

01:53:02.940 as everybody's making it out to be and this guy was dedicated dedicated he really wanted to stop

01:53:08.980 stuttering um and so they got together for a couple of lessons and follow find your voice

01:53:15.340 follows him um as he he really risks i mean because there's a lot of hope that he was putting

01:53:23.140 into this and if it wouldn't have worked i would have hated to see the ending of this story but

01:53:28.480 he found his identity. And what starts as a voice coaching experiment turns out to be something

01:53:39.400 about confronting fear and habit and the silence that he has lived and the loneliness he has lived

01:53:45.460 with for a lifetime. And you won't believe the ending. Now, here's the good thing about this.

01:53:51.460 This is starting to be recognized by circles we don't usually, we're not invited to, let's put

01:53:58.160 it that way um but roger love who is my friend of mine in the vocal expert um he he runs in some of

01:54:07.240 these circles and he's just passed off said hey just watch this and now it's finding itself going

01:54:13.060 to places that you would never expect it to be and i think it's next wednesday is it next wednesday

01:54:18.340 or this wednesday roger's on the phone roger is it going to grommen's chinese theater for a festival

01:54:25.280 100 june 24th it'll be at the tcl chinese theater which used to be graman's change the name okay

01:54:35.240 which is one of the most iconic theaters in all of the world it's crazy it's i don't know if i

01:54:43.260 you're not you you've kept it quiet that we know each other right right unless they talk to me

01:54:50.740 And then I and then yeah, and then I'm proud to know you. I don't think I ever told you

01:54:56.680 Well, I think I ever told you this story when I was a little kid

01:54:59.740 I was staying up too late. My parents should have shut the TV off

01:55:03.080 but I was watching a late night TV show and this comedian got on his name was Mel Tillis and he told jokes and he stuttered and

01:55:13.160 Instead of the millions of people watching laughing at him. They were laughing with him

01:55:19.140 it was his superpower he seemed totally comfortable with who he was and the

01:55:25.980 words were struggling to come out but it was so funny with him then afterwards he

01:55:32.160 sang and his voice was incredible he sang an amazing song as an amazing singer

01:55:39.840 and the words rode out like angel dust and I remember thinking in my head how

01:55:46.800 is this even possible and then years later when I became a voice coach and

01:55:51.400 people started coming to me for not just helping them when they're singing voice

01:55:55.800 or their speaking voice they came to me when they were having voice problems and

01:55:59.400 I wanted to help and I remembered that TV show and I realized that no stutter no

01:56:06.660 matter how severe it is stutters when they sing and then I reverse engineered

01:56:13.800 an airflow system called solid airflow system so that any person who is

01:56:19.920 challenged with stuttering could just control the way that air flows out of

01:56:25.560 their mouths the same way they sing and the stuttering was eliminated so this

01:56:32.340 was a bonus to put this documentary together to try to help millions of

01:56:37.200 people who realize their voices were never broken you're probably sick of

01:56:42.240 hearing from me i will send you i'll find these things on uh you know on instagram or something

01:56:48.240 where these people are just struggling with everything in them to just say a sentence

01:56:55.080 and roger i send them to you because i'm like we got to help this person we got to help this person

01:56:59.680 we got to help what i mean when i say we got to help i mean you got to help them how do we get

01:57:04.100 the word out about this system because there's so many people that have this and i'm watching them

01:57:10.040 And I'm like, you don't have to live that way.

01:57:12.180 You don't have to.

01:57:12.760 You got to meet Roger Love.

01:57:15.360 I created a whole website to help those people

01:57:18.960 where they can get information about it

01:57:21.100 and they can realize that there's hope for it

01:57:22.940 and a way to fix it.

01:57:24.100 The website is speak.voiceplace.com.

01:57:30.700 Go there or go to my Instagram page

01:57:33.760 at the official Roger Love

01:57:35.220 and start watching the videos that talk about it.

01:57:38.120 so speak.voiceplace.com and you you lay it all out there how to fix it yeah what it is what it isn't

01:57:50.020 people are still thinking that they're like i said broken that there's a problem psychologically

01:57:54.760 or there's a problem physically and i simplify it so much that it's an airflow problem and fix the

01:58:02.660 air which is so fixable and the problem goes away yeah i you know the thing i love about um

01:58:10.020 find your voice is the last line in this episode of this uh the description of this episode is

01:58:16.520 this is not just a story about curing a stutter it's about what happens when someone dares to

01:58:21.980 believe their voice was never broken what a great what a great idea roger um so who's going to this

01:58:30.300 thing on next wednesday the chinese theater what is this it is the dances with films la festival

01:58:38.080 which is the biggest festival in the last 29 years in la 20 000 people are coming to the theater

01:58:46.120 over the days to see shows movies to see that the best of the best that has been picked

01:58:53.100 So this is such an honor.

01:58:55.620 And isn't it great to create something and then want to help

02:00:09.140 doing here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. You know, you can't talk

02:00:14.140 your way out of pain. If you're living with it, you're living with it. Okay. You can't reason

02:00:18.840 your way out either. You can't positive think your way. My father used to always say, he was

02:00:22.780 in such pain his whole life. And I said to him, I'd say, Dad, how are you feeling? Better. I'm

02:00:28.300 feeling better every day. And I knew he wasn't, but he was trying to convince himself. And you

02:00:32.840 can't. You can make it maybe a little less miserable by not admitting the misery, but you

02:00:39.480 really need help. And your body is fighting it every day. As a person who lived with pretty

02:00:44.540 severe pain for a number of years. I can testify to this personally. I found relief factor. I got

02:00:50.360 my life back, but you know what? So can you. Relief factor, not a drug developed by doctors,

02:00:55.260 and it has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of

02:00:59.800 our pain that we deal with. It could work for you. You could wake up feeling like, wow, I'm out of

02:01:05.080 pain or my pain is much less severe. The way you used to feel, imagine that for a second.

02:01:10.620 Try it.

02:01:32.860 Back.

02:01:33.620 We'll be right back.

02:01:39.700 welcome to the glenbeck program i want to bring jason in uh because there's something happening

02:02:06.440 that is happening in California

02:02:08.300 where they're starting to issue a license to be gay. 0.88

02:02:16.340 You have to have gay certification now. 0.54

02:02:19.200 If you want special access 0.99

02:02:21.160 and be able to be your gay roof installers or whatever,

02:02:25.460 and you want to work with the state, 0.98

02:02:27.820 if you're certifiably gay, 1.00

02:02:30.220 I mean, I can't believe this. 0.95

02:02:31.440 I mean, there's so many jokes in it. 1.00

02:02:33.300 You're certifiably gay. 0.98

02:02:34.400 Are you certifiably gay? 1.00

02:02:36.440 then you can get a government contract. 1.00

02:02:41.780 It's insane.

02:02:43.280 Jason, bring us up to speed on this.

02:02:46.020 So this whole thing comes from California,

02:02:48.680 and they have this program.

02:02:50.760 They're pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts

02:02:54.880 to state-certified gay businesses. 0.99

02:02:57.720 I'm going to get through this without laughing, I promise. 0.86

02:03:00.420 So Christopher Ruffo has been reporting on this.

02:03:02.360 He said that California has hired teams of bureaucrats

02:03:04.760 to run the state's gay certification program. 0.97

02:03:08.600 Now, they are very diligent in this work, Glenn.

02:03:11.680 Goes so far as having a gay certification checklist 0.90

02:03:15.500 to make sure that you are, I guess, who you say you are. 0.71

02:03:20.180 And there's about 12 different things to check off here.

02:03:23.360 We don't have a whole lot of time,

02:03:24.860 so I'm going to pick out some of the best ones, I guess.

02:03:28.840 One of the checklist items is three letters of reference

02:03:32.780 from personal contacts on their company letterhead or stationery

02:03:36.520 who have known over one year

02:03:40.000 and can vouch to the status of the individual's gayness.

02:03:45.920 I think it's his phone call.

02:03:49.460 I'm calling about a friend of yours, Jason, Bob Higgins. 0.92

02:03:55.400 Apparently, you say he's gay. 0.78

02:03:58.040 You know he's gay?

02:04:01.320 I mean, you know.

02:04:02.180 i have seen certain things i you know okay what does that mean exactly you know he's gay and 0.87

02:04:08.000 you've seen certain things i mean what are the questions well i mean this is insane i've got to 0.98

02:04:14.160 have three references that i'm gay this is so stupid okay i mean it goes on uh one letter from 0.97

02:04:22.260 a recognized lgbt organization attesting to the gay status and signed by the organization leader 0.99

02:04:29.320 now look at that now they're empowering gay organizations now you have to go not to a friend

02:04:36.920 but to a sanctioned gay organization so now they've given that gay organization power 0.55

02:04:43.400 wow is that bad okay next this one is kind of puzzling uh an actual checklist item proof of

02:04:52.120 media coverage including publications newspapers or articles explicitly stating the lgbt status

02:05:00.860 of the owners of the business yeah i so you wow so you you have to obviously you have to be kind

02:05:11.880 of an activist i mean because if you're just a quiet gay couple and you own a restaurant

02:05:15.700 you know i guess that's not good enough you have to be out in the media literally out in the media

02:05:21.840 declaring your gayness okay what else uh yeah there's multiple different a copy of the okay

02:05:30.340 so this this one's uh very hypocritical for the state of california a copy of valid municipal or 0.73

02:05:36.100 state license certificate of marriage civil union or domestic partnership so some kind of id 0.99

02:05:42.500 in order to do something is that why do they hate gay black people why do they hate gay black people 0.98

02:05:49.980 you know there's not a gay black person that could ever produce any kind of id i mean this 0.99

02:05:56.000 is crazy that you don't need a license or any kind of identification to uh to vote but if you 0.96

02:06:05.800 want to work as a gay person with the state you gotta have we have to have all kinds of id but 1.00

02:06:12.480 gay id this is ridiculous you you call it ridiculous and crazy i call it jim crow 3.0 0.99

02:06:19.220 that's that's what i'm labeling this this is just ridiculous um yeah jim has changed his name by the 0.99

02:06:26.220 way uh it's jane crow now it's jane crow and i'd appreciate you not misgendering her any longer

02:06:33.560 um you know i think this is really i mean it's efficient in one way because the state of

02:06:39.960 california you know and so many people in lgbtq the organizations have partnered with the you know 0.96

02:06:47.760 the islamists of the world and so it'll be it'll be easier for the islamists once they're done with 0.85

02:06:53.620 us then they turn on their gay supporters uh and all they have to do is say papers please and you 0.97

02:07:00.640 know there's nothing more heartwarming than some you know some group in power that says produce

02:07:06.120 your papers and prove who you are uh love that love that love that so uh it'll be efficient for 0.92

02:07:12.780 the islamists because at least california will have an official gay license 0.97

02:07:16.420 it's insane i would i would i would think the california gay community would would be outraged 0.84

02:07:23.500 over this i wouldn't think that they would want some kind of official list with some kind of

02:07:26.960 certification program with their names think that's think of that if i mean if things god

02:07:33.760 forbid ever went horribly wrong the islamists or some crazy religious whatever or just some 0.99

02:07:42.220 just somebody who just like just has nothing to do with god just doesn't like gay people 0.99

02:07:46.520 you want a list of people that are gay i mean i wouldn't want to be on that list i wouldn't want 0.57

02:07:54.840 to be on that list if i'm straight uh yeah i'm definitely in the straight club if these guys

02:08:01.120 if these guys ever took uh real power do you think that list would go untouched the people

02:08:07.480 who are like, I am loud and I am proud to be straight.

02:08:11.920 In fact, I've based my whole business on being straight.

02:08:15.720 In fact, I've been in the newspaper because I'm so straight.

02:08:18.800 I want everybody to know straight is the right way to go.

02:08:22.400 Do you think that the left would let that list go untouched? 0.96

02:08:26.640 What are you, nuts? 1.00

02:08:28.460 Oh, people are so blind and so stupid. 1.00

02:08:32.140 Yeah, let's make a list. 1.00

02:08:33.940 Okay, all right.
