Summary

The Glenn Beck Program — July 10, 2026

Episode: Mamdani’s Nefarious Strategy to Undermine the Republic | Guest: Jack Posobiec
Theme: Exploring truth-seeking in a world of conspiracies, the Kirk assassination case, and the dangers of collectivism and modern socialism in American life.

Episode Overview

This episode hones in on the dangers of narrative-driven thinking, conspiracy culture, and the human tendency to prefer satisfying stories over inconvenient truths. Glenn Beck uses recent political and cultural events—including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the trial proceedings in Provo, Utah, French history’s Dreyfus Affair, and contemporary maneuvers by New York officials (notably Zoran Mamdani)—to illustrate the corrosion of fact-based reasoning and the rise of collectivist ideology. Jack Posobiec joins from the Kirk pretrial hearing to give firsthand insight.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Charlie Kirk Assassination Case and the Lure of Conspiracy

• Segment: [03:54 – 10:00], [24:36 – 38:12]
• The national response to Charlie Kirk's murder reveals America's craving for narratives that confirm existing beliefs—be it “the Jews did it,” “deep state hit,” or “crisis actor.”
• Glenn Beck: “The killer doesn’t have a clean story. Just irony and a rifle and a daddy drifted away from and a joke residing in the place where his conscience should have been.” [07:52]
• Evidence shows a perpetrator adrift in meme culture—his bullets engraved with online jokes, more concerned about memes punching through the news than the gravity of his actions.
• Beck draws historical parallels, warning of groups on both sides forcing the tragedy into prefabricated meanings rather than letting the facts settle.

2. Truth vs. Powerful Stories: The Dreyfus Affair & Narrative Loyalty

• Segment: [10:00 – 16:10]
• Beck narrates the Dreyfus Affair—where France preferred the false, anti-Semitic conviction of a Jewish officer over uncomfortable truths, only vindicating him years later.
• Glenn Beck: “The story was so embedded into the culture… nobody wanted to change it.” [14:10]
• He cautions listeners: it’s easy to let mob sentiment override the search for factual justice—a caution in today's media-driven culture wars.

3. Analysis of the Trial: On-the-Ground with Jack Posobiec

• Segment: [25:46 – 35:07]
• Jack Posobiec recaps the atmosphere: intense security, emotional testimonies, and the families of both victim and accused present and devastated.
• Posobiec and Beck highlight the unprecedented composure and honesty of the accused's parents, who identified their own son to authorities.
• Quote (Jack Posobiec): “My heart goes out to them…To me, they lost their son too. Their lives have been shattered as well.” [26:50]
• Discussion of powerful courtroom moments, such as attempts by Kirk’s family to see critical security footage, and the redacted testimony of the defendant’s trans partner, as well as the sheer weight of the evidence against Robinson.

4. Media, Transparency, and the Risk of Prejudicing Justice

• Segment: [31:51 – 35:07]
• Beck and Posobiec reflect on their hopes for a fair trial despite pervasive media coverage.
• They draw analogies to the Lee Harvey Oswald shooting (by Jack Ruby), warning against acts or coverage that close off the path to truth and can fuel endless conspiracy.

5. Current Geopolitics: Iran, Oil, and the Hunt for a “Spear”

• Segment: [45:35 – 58:14], [68:16 – 75:38]
• Beck lays out Donald Trump’s Iran strategy; drawing on WWII history, he argues that ethical purism can be less effective than pragmatic alliance when facing existential crises.
• The search, Beck suggests, is for an “Albert Speer” — a regime insider willing to deliver a solution (here: Iran’s uranium stockpile) not because he’s virtuous but because he’s self-interested.
• The peril: if no reliable insider can be cultivated, the only alternative is force—“and we just ran that experiment. It's not good.”
• He identifies global economic risk (especially linked to depleted U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves) as a driving reason for strategic patience.

6. Zoran Mamdani and the Dangers of Local Officials' Foreign Policy

• Segment: [75:34 – 80:11]
• Beck spotlights New York official Zoran Mamdani’s (fictional) attempt at foreign diplomacy with Iran during wartime, which was quickly struck down by the U.S. State Department.
• Beck’s warning: Local officials engaging in national-level foreign policy constitute a grave and lawless threat to the Republic’s cohesion.

7. The Recurrent Failures of Socialism—Past and Present

• Segment: [80:11 – 100:43]
• Beck offers a history lesson in American utopian socialism: the story of Robert Owen’s failed “New Harmony” commune (1825–1827).
• Beck: “If cooperation could ever beat competition anywhere, this is where it should have worked…How long did it last? Two years.”
• He highlights why such experiments universally fail: Human nature. When everyone owns the mill, no one repairs it.

8. The Wedge: Collectivism as the Root of Division

• Segment: [109:58 – 121:12]
• Beck sees collectivist ideology as the source of all modern poison, from woke anti-racism to economic populism.
• Quote: “…not four problems. That's one problem. And it has a name. And the name is collectivism.” [112:44]
• He contends that only the American focus on individual rights and value—embodied in the Declaration of Independence—can resist the growing pressure to group individuals and assign collective blame or virtue.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Mocking Conspiracies with Musical Satire
  Beck intersperses the episode with tongue-in-cheek musical parodies lampooning anti-Semitic conspiracy culture:

  “The Jews did it. Every bad thing, yeah, they orchestrated it. From the bad hair day to the price of chips…The Jews did it.” [04:00]

• On Narrative Addiction:

  “Everybody, everybody is united in a single demand that this death resolve into a clean story. And the evidence this week is quietly refusing…” [07:28]
  “The evidence keeps offering instead is a meme-poisoned kid who tragically has no story at all.” [19:30]

• On Parenting & Responsibility:

  “That's the bravest and hardest thing I've seen a parent do…They still love their son, but he has to face justice.” [27:45]

• On Socialism’s History:

  “The socialist is standing in front of a pie and his entire promise is…‘I’ll give you some of this pie, okay?’…We are the people who know how to bake more pie.” [100:43]

• On Collectivism as the Real Enemy:

  “It’s the same wedge. The wedge is always hammered into the same crack—a little space between you and the person standing next to you.” [112:44-113:00]

• On Solutions:

  “We’re the ones who build. So let’s free the builders… you don’t have to out-shout them. You just have to out-build them, out-teach them.” [109:58; 121:12]

---

Tone & Takeaway

The episode’s tone is sardonic, urgent, and didactic—Beck’s trademark blend of wit, dramatic history lessons, and warnings for the Republic. The throughline: collective thinking—whether in the form of conspiracies, mob justice, or “inevitable” socialist utopias—saps the Republic’s foundational commitment to the individual, to facts, and to building rather than dividing.

Final thought:
The answer is not a messianic candidate or a single party; it’s the defense, one conversation at a time, of the individual’s value and responsibility against the always tempting wedge of collectivism.

---

For New Listeners:
This episode will be especially valuable if you are concerned about polarization, conspiracy culture, or the practical dangers of collectivism and political “narrative addiction.” Beck offers a toolkit grounded in history, compassion, and the defense of individual dignity.

Transcript

[Glenn Beck]

America has always had a fascination with the finished product. We love the hero who crosses the Delaware, the general who wins the war, the president who voluntarily gives up power. But we don't spend as nearly as much time asking the important question, how did he become that man in the first place? Great leaders don't just appear. They are shaped by failure and courage and discipline and the choices they make when nobody's watching. That's what makes Young Washington so timely. Just it's such a great movie. In a moment where America is celebrating her 250th birthday, this film will take you back to the years before the legend, when George Washington was still just learning character that would eventually change the course of history. It's more than just a historic drama. It's a reminder that liberty is always dependent on men and women who are willing to grow, sacrifice and answer the call when their moment arrived. That's the message worth hearing today, as much as it was 250 years ago. So see Young Washington in theaters now. Tickets [e-mail] Young, young Washington.

From the bad hair day to the price of chips Illuminati. Nah, it's just a try. World domination with a kosher. The Jews did it. Hey, yeah, the Jews.

[Glenn Beck]

It's pretty clear, pretty clear here. I can't take the John le Kirk thing. My head's going to explode.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

Tinfoil hat, kid. Phone battery died, can't check my feed My side must have hacked it for their evil deeds. Lost my keys again, what a rotten day. They beamed it to Tel Aviv in a secret rain. Inflation time, my wallet crush Rothschild's laughing while ago. Yeah, my dying cat puked on the rug Dog chewed my shoe It's a Zionist plot, what else is new? The Jews did it, The Jews did it. Every bad thing, yeah, they orchestrated it. The Jews did it. The Jews did it. Your ex left you? Yeah, they probably did it. Flat earth, chemtrails, Bigfoot on the loose all connected in one big Jewish caboose. The Jews did it.

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, I think we got the Jews. It's Friday and of course the Jews did it. You know, wasn't it the Jews who first wrote down that there was seven days in a week. So they're responsible for so much that's going every Monday. Every Monday. Just remember, it was the Jews that gave you a Monday. I don't know who gave us Friday. Sure, it kind of falls apart when you get a day you like, but let's be consistent. The Jews did it. Let me talk to you a little bit about what's going on in Provo, Utah. For 10 months now, America has told the story of the murder of Charlie Kirk. I mean, it is. It's more than one story too, which has been very interesting. I mean, you listen to some podcasters who are just asking questions. And of course, it was a deep state hit, but it was a deep state hit caused by the Jews. It was a false flag. It was a crisis actor. It was a convenient death dressed up in assassinate as an assassination. One podcaster insinuated that maybe it was my daughter that did it. Oh, you caught me now. So this week in the 4th District Courthouse, Provo, Utah, none of those stories showed up, you know, none of them. It was weird. It was really weird. When you look at the evidence, you're like, oh, wait a minute, maybe it wasn't my daughter. But actually what showed up was stranger, a little more terrifying because it is more human than any of the but Joe's did it kind of stuff. The evidence has, you know, come in now. I mean, the real evidence, the way it always comes in, slowly, under oath. On screens, surveillance video of a young man crossing a rooftop, dropping into the shooting position, firing one round through Charlie Kirk's neck while 3,000 people watched and then started to run. Also, a grandfather's bolt action mouser wrapped in a towel, ditched in the woods. There was DNA, there was ballistics, and then there was also the voice of the person who knew him best, his trans lover, the roommate and partner, Lance Twigs. Now, Lance was granted immunity, interviewed on tape, told investigators what happened in the hours after the text under the keyboard, the messages where Robinson. Where Robinson was admitting that it was him and he felt really bad. I wish I wouldn't have done it. I wish I would have done it. You're not the one who actually did it, are you? Yeah, I did. I couldn't take it anymore. You know, those kinds of things. And then the morning after, where he was pacing back and forth in the apartment, crying, I gotta turn myself in with my parents. There were no handlers, no grand design, no shadow directing the shot. No Jews, surprisingly showed up in this. I was shocked that it looks like it was this guy. Everything the state put on those screens points to one person who made one irreversible choice. Now, this is a preliminary hearing. It's not a verdict. The defense is still challenging the DNA, and they should, you know, but the shape of it is pretty darn clear, you know, and the shape is not a movie plot. This is where it gets frightening. It's a kid. They showed the bullets. And this is the part where the camera really kind of rushed past, I think. The casings were not engraved with a manifesto. They were engraved with jokes. A furry forum meme, an old Italian protest song that, you know, has curdled into an Internet gag. A throwaway insult. If you read this, you're gay. Imao. He then texted his partner that the messages were mostly a big meme. Then he worried the meme might show up on Fox News. Then he worried in writing. He worried more about how he's going to explain the missing rifle to his dad than about the man he just left dead on the stage. See, this is what's terrifying here. This is not ideology. This is a human soul dissolved in irony. A young kid who marinated so long in the world where everything is a bit. Every belief is just a costume, every horror is just a punchline for an audience that isn't even in the room. That he carved jokes into the rounds he used to kill a father of two. He couldn't tell the difference between a meme and a murder until he had already committed one. That's terrifying because that can happen to any of our kids. Now watch what the whole country is doing with him. The left wants him to mean one thing. The right wants him to mean another. The conspiracy theorists want him to be a puppet of the Jews. And the people debunking. The conspiracy theorists want him to be a lesson. Everybody, everybody is united in a single demand that this death resolve into a clean story. And the evidence this week is quietly refusing. I mean, we know who the killer is, but the killer doesn't have a clean story. Just irony and a rifle and a daddy drifted away from and a joke residing in the place where his conscience should have been. Last night, I spent some time looking for places in history where this sickness has happened before. The hunger to make a crime mean the thing you already believe. And you can find it. You can find it in the Boston Massacre, John Adams. Everybody wanted that Boston Massacre to mean one thing. That the British were evil and the British were just shooting innocent Americans. And that's when John Adams said, that's not True. And he was stubborn and he tried it and he proved that it wasn't true. But we're in a time now where everybody wants it to mean something. And what we have to be wanting is just the truth. Let the chips fall where they may, and it's pretty clear to see where the chips are falling. But I want to take you to France, and I want to tell you a story about a spy in France right around the turn of the century. This story is terrifying because it shows humans haven't changed. I'll show you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is Simplisafe. There's a big difference between reacting to a problem and preventing one. I mean, anybody can clean up a mess after it happens. The trick really is, you know, stopping the mess from happening in the first place. And that's what makes Simplisafe so interesting. Their active guard outdoor protection isn't just designed to record the criminal. So you can go, I know who that is. After the attack, their AI can detect suspicious activity outside of your home. And if it appears to be a real threat, trained live agents can actually view the situation. They can speak to the person through the camera and even contact police if necessary. I have to tell you, I have very, very sophisticated security on my home. And what AI cameras can do outside my home just to spot a threat is remarkable and wildly expensive. You can have something that is damn close for a fraction. In fact, if you go now, you can get 70% off of all of this just by going to simplisafe.com Becky 70% off. An affordable system already. There's no contracts or anything else. Just go to simplisafe.com beck simplisafe.com Beck back with that story in 10 seconds. The Jews did it. All right, let me tell you about a spy. France caught a spy. The year is 1894. Someone inside the army was selling secrets to the Germans. And the proof was a torn up memo. The. The memo was pieced back together from scraps in a. In a trash can at the German embassy. And France needed a traitor. And it. It had to find this traitor. And so it found the one it wanted. His name was Captain Alfred Dreyfus. He was an artillery officer. He was Jewish. The Jews did it. And he was convenient there. The. The handwriting was a stretch. The real evidence was really thin. The file that convicted him was so weak that the army kept half of it secret from his own lawyer. None of that mattered. The story was just Too satisfying to check for everybody involved. They stripped him of his rank in a courtyard. They broke his sword. They shipped him to a rock off the coast of South America to rot. Then a new guy took over French Intelligence. And this guy's name was Georges Picard. He. He was carrying the same racial prejudice, okay? He had no love for Dreyfus. He was not a fan. Thought when he got in. Thought he was guilted. It was guilty and hated Jews, okay? But when he got into office, he intercepted a second scrap of paper. The petite blue is what they call it. It's a little blue telegram. When he chased it down, the handwriting on it matched the memo that had convicted Dreyfus. Except it wasn't Dreyfus. It belonged to another officer. This guy was a debt ridden hustler, okay? Esther. Hazy, I think was his name. The wrong man was on Devil's Island. The real traitor was still walking around selling France to Berlin, okay? Now this new intelligence officer, the head of intelligence, could have buried it and he had every incentive to bury it. He didn't like the man he'd be saving. He. He didn't like Jews. It was convenient. There was all kinds of pressure on him to shut his mouth, but he couldn't stomach seeing, you know, seeing this lie, knowing that it was a lie because he found the evidence. So he told his superiors, his superiors said, shut your mouth. Admitting the truth is going to embarrass the army. Shut up. When he wouldn't, they didn't. They didn't thank him. They didn't. He opened his mouth. They shipped him to a dangerous post in the Tunisian desert. Then they arrested him. Then they accused him of forging the evidence that proved the truth. Everybody was protecting the comfortable story. You know, forged a document to shore it all up. They forged this thing and, and they said that, you know, he was forgering this other document, he should go to death. But they, they were forging a document themselves to incriminate that guy. When their forgery was finally exposed, the author cut his own throat in a prison cell. Now, here's the part that if you've ever heard this story, nobody remembers. France retried Dreyfus. That's the guy who was originally sent to Devil's island, okay? And they convicted him again. After the forgery, after the forger's suicide, after Picard, a second court looked at the collapse of the entire case and found him guilty a second time with extenuating circumstances because the story was still stronger than the facts. The story was so embedded into the Culture. By that time, nobody wanted to change it. They had a satisfying ending. 12 years for stubborn and unwelcome and inconvenient facts to finally beat a story the whole nation wanted to believe when it was over. After 12 years, an innocent man was restored, and the officer who had been sent to the desert for telling the truth ended up being the Minister of War. It's strange, because that guy never surrendered. He becomes the Minister of War, and that's what France is known for, surrendering. So I don't know how that worked out for him, but. But this is the discipline, and it's. It's harder than the one that punnets are selling you right now, because what people are selling you right now is the Jews did it. He didn't really do it. I mean, it is so transparent now on who actually did this, but it still is. It hasn't gone to trial yet. And a court of law has to. It has to go through. And we have to say, then let the jury of his peers find him guilty or not guilty. Wait for the facts. But pundits are not doing that because there's a story they want to be true. And look at how many of our friends have been lost because they're jumping on the bandwagon and arguing things where they don't have any facts. I mean, I got to show you what data Republican. I mean, she just tore Candace Owens apart good, but she did it with facts. We have to, as a country, be willing to find the answer you don't want. Picard went looking to catch a fresh traitor, and instead he found proof that his own army had jailed the wrong man, a man he didn't even like, but he followed it anyway. And he followed it straight into ruin. Because the alternative was to live inside of a lie, because the lie felt better. Everybody who's screaming about Charlie Kirk right now wants the same thing that France wanted. They want a killer that confirms their story. But what evidence keeps offering instead is a meme poisoned kid who tragically has no story at all. Do we have enough Americans? Do we have enough Picard's left? Who will take the unsatisfying, unshareable, unmonetizable fact over the thrilling conspiracy. Charlie Kirk believed in sunlight, in letting evidence compete and let the better argument win. The way to honor him is not to win the narrative war over his body. It's to want the true answer more than the useful or satisfying one or one that will advance your agenda when the true one is small and human and refuses to become anyone's cause more in a minute. By the way, we have Jack Posobic who is in Provo, Utah this morning. He's been there all week. I get his view of what happened in the courtroom in just a minute. Let me tell you about burner launcher. Look, you find yourself getting ready in the morning. You stare into the mirror thinking, you know, you know, it would really complete this outfit. This ensemble is a non lethal self defense device that fits in my belt line. Doesn't make me look like a member of SEAL Team 6, but still makes me look, you know, like one of those guys that can defend themselves. That's when you reach for your burner launcher. If you're ever in a situation where trouble finds you before the police can, it gives you a fighting chance without having to take a life. It fires high powered pepper projectiles that will stop an attacker cold, putting him on the ground for at least 40 minutes. And the best part is it's legal in most states, doesn't require a permit. The burner launch the Burner compact launcher is about buying yourself just enough time to get out of a bad situation without escalating into something worse.

The Drews, they control the pot, I'm told. Traffic jam on the highway, can't get to work. Must be the elders of Zion pulling strings like a jerk. My team lost the big game It's a total disgrace they fix the ref, swing the score and the whole damn place where the rap says it's raining. Who could it be? Space laser from Tel Aviv. Obviously the Jews did it, the Jews did it Every bad thing yeah, they orchestrated it the Jews did it, the Jews did it from the bad hair day to the price of chips.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's Friday and apparently the Jews didn't do the Charlie Kirk thing. Wow, what a shock. What a shock. Here they are, a country with space lasers and it wasn't them that did it. It's actually more sad. We were just talking about it a minute ago. It's more sad than that. It is. It's a kid who is just lost in a world of memes and hatred and. But it's clear who did it, and it wasn't the Jews. Strange. The trial is not going on. This, the pre trial. And if this is what the pre trial is, you imagine how intense it's going to get. It's not good. It's not good. And we just really need to be looking for the facts. Jack Posobec was there at the trial all week. I saw him last week in Washington. He said, I'm going to the trial. And I can't imagine what it was like, Jack, to be sitting there all week. What, what a, what did it feel like sitting in that room this week?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Glenn, thanks for having me on and of course for your support and your family support and to Erica and to her, the Charlie's parents who are there every day. It's, it's surreal. And we're going back here in about, about an hour's time. I'm just about a mile up from the courthouse. I'm right here in Provo. And you know, it's, it's surreal because it's, it's such a big, I mean when Charlie died, when he was killed, it was such a world shattering event and so much has happened since then and that to bring all of that into such a small room, it's such, it's quite a small space and you've got only about six rows. They're like, like wooden church pews almost. And you've got Erica and Charlie's family and, and us and some of the, you know, the friends are there. Senator Mike Lee stopped by. We had Don junior Stop by for a couple of days and then Tyler's family is there as well. Then you've got SWAT officers just all over the place. Security is extremely tight and for, for a million reasons. And, and then there's, you know, a couple tables of the lawyers, the prosecutors. And then sitting right there in the room is, is Tyler Robinson who's at the center of all of this. So they're all, they're all right there. And I forget if I said, but Tyler's family is there too, so his mother and father. And my heart goes out to them. I've been praying for them as well. We can't have phones in the, in the room. So I've been praying a lot. And you know, I, I realize is to me that they lost their son too. Their lives have been shattered as well. And, and you know, when we look at it from an evidentiary perspective, they were the people as well who picked up the phone initially, the mother and father I know and called law enforcement and said, that's our son on tv. And I, I just, as a dad, I, I can't even imagine.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't even know. That's the bravest and hardest thing I've seen a parent do. And once in a while, we are blessed enough to see a parent who loves their child and is not condemning their child, but does the right thing anyway. And that is, I mean, that's, I mean, that's classic good parent. They still love their son, but he has to face justice. I'm going to play a couple of sound bites from the trial and love to get your reaction. Here is Kirk, trial one, cut one. The DA lashing out at Erica.

[Courtroom Attorney]

As a court knows, we have witness availability problems. We spent the bulk of today and yesterday arguing about nothing to do with the evidence in the case, but with rights of third parties. And it's appropriate for the court to consider, consider that. But at some point, I think the court has to return to the purpose of these hearings, which is to expeditiously hear the evidence and then determine probable cause. And I want to point out to the court, Ms. Kirk has been very adept at holding press conferences at which she has revealed evidence she has represented that the state is her attorney, she has access to all the evidence that the state has publicized and that the media and her own lawyer argues is already in the public domain. So they're perfectly free to go outside this courtroom under the court's protective order. They're free to go out and hold press conferences and announce to the world outside the courtroom what they think the evidence is. They have a, the availability of that evidence. But the court's role, I think at some point is to exercise some control, move the case forward, especially when we have witness availability problems.

[Glenn Beck]

The reaction to this from Erica, how'd that land?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, look, you know, I've been trying to not say anything about, you know, you know, look, I mean, Erica, this, these are private moments for her. But this was reported in, in the media already. And, and they said that when, when, when Erica heard her name mentioned that way from the defense team. Let me just say that her, her head shot up and she focused directly on the individual attorney, Michael Burt there and what he was saying and as did mine and I think many of us, because the things that he was saying. Keep in mind, what, what maybe, I don't know if it was in the context there, what the family was asking for in that moment was to be shown the zoomed in image, not to be broadcast to the world, but they said could we at least see the zoomed in image which the judge blocked earlier in the week of the individual they believe is Tyler Robinson. When he's crouched down in the prone position, he's already assembled the rifle and now he's crawling across the building towards the sniper's perch right on the edge of the building, which has a direct line of sight to where Charlie's tent was. And the judge had ruled that we can show the video, but we can't zoom in on this spot. Well, you know, what you could see is, you know, a little pixelated squiggle in the back of the corner of the video. Can't tell anything. So all they were asking was if they could just watch the video. Video in port because here they are, they've flown all the way to Provo, Utah. They've spent hours upon hours. They just want to be able to see the evidence, to see what happened to Charlie, to have some kind of, you know, I'm not going to say there's ever going to be closure or satisfaction, but at least some kind of, of understanding of what went on here. And then to be attacked for simply asking to see the evidence is. It was beyond the pale. I, I, personally, I thought it was a choice.

[Glenn Beck]

So I, I, I have to tell you, I am, I'm glad that we are getting transparency, but I also hope that this does not change, taint the jury pool. I, I think because you hear this stuff now, it's going to be harder to find somebody who doesn't have, you know, an opinion on this because they've heard some of the, I mean, really damning, damning testimony. For instance, here is, you know, the twig's testimony getting redacted. Listen to this. Cut three, please. Radically, was he pacing? They're just sitting down, relaxing. No, he was, he was walking around a lot and that's within the home. And did he talk about what he had done? Didn't go into detail. He just, I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was. I started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn't done it and then kept going around and just doing stuff, I think to keep himself busy or distracted or something. Did he talk about what he was going to do next? So they redacted this part of it. We can stop now. They've redacted this part of it. It may come out today, but they're saying they redacted it because it could potentially prejudice the jurors. But I gotta tell You, Jack, just listening to the testimony that's out there. I don't know how he's not pleading guilty. I mean, what. What is the case that they are going to try to make? I mean, the evidence seems to be overwhelming.

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, the evidence is overwhelming, Glenn. And, and for those who have followed, you know, the different high profile crime stories, there was that one of this. This guy, this. This monster, Ryan Coburger up in Idaho who killed the sorority girls up there in the house.

[Ricky]

Right.

[Jack Posobiec]

They only had in that like one bloody fingerprint and a cell phone track and a witness who thought he saw a car. That's all they had in that case. And he did eventually, of course, plead guilty. It took a plea deal to get the death penalty off the table. So I would compare that case where you seemed like you had minimal evidence, where they still got a conviction to this, where yesterday the dam just broke and there's an avalanche of evidence that's pouring out now. And look, I want an impartial system as well. I understand how the system works. That's why they have the wadir system. They can set a questionnaire to say if you have heard about this case. Can you set that aside and only focus on the evidence and not let you know any of the media coverage or. There's been a lot of coverage and comments and opinions spread about this case. But the point is, can you swear that you will not allow that affect your decision in this case? And I've covered a few cases before and that's always the standard. It's not that. Have you ever heard of it? But can you be objective about the evidence?

[Glenn Beck]

Jack, we pray for you guys. Please send my best to the family and, and we'll continue to watch out. Anything we can do to help you, just. You call on us. Jack, thank you so much.

[Jack Posobiec]

Amen. And I appreciate that. And we're praying that the Holy Spirit comes into that courtroom. And I believe he's. He's made his way there. He's made his presence known.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I think so too. Thank you, Jack. I tell you one thing that Jack said that I think is really important. And I want to give you a little historic tidbit here. Jack started with SWAT teams everywhere. SWAT teams everywhere. This is what we should be praying for in number one, that hearts will heal on all sides. Hearts will heal. That the truth comes out. That the guilty go to jail and the innocent are proven to be, you know, innocent. But the other thing we have to pray for is that this doesn't happen. This is. This is Jack Ruby. This is November 24, 1963. This is in the basement of the courthouse, in the Texas courthouse in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald is caught. He's caught with a gun. They know that he's the guy who did it. He is now walking to be transferred. And he's in the basement in the parking lot. And the guy who comes up to him is Jack Ruby. And Jack Ruby has a gun. And he comes right up to him and shoots him. This is really one of the reasons the conspiracy theories are so strong, because of this moment. Now, I want to show you something. This is how weird my family is. This is what my wife gave to me for Father's Day. This is a telegram. It was sent 34 minutes after Jack Ruby shoots Lee Harvey Oswald. Okay? And it's sent from just a woman in, in Chicago, Mrs. Gage. Mrs. G.F. gage. Okay? And she sends it to one, the Western Union Telegram to Jack Ruby, Dallas, Texas, courthouse basement, Dallas. She writes, congratulations. You had the courage to do what the rest of the world would like to have done. This moment may have felt good for some people. This moment is what sealed the fate of the never ending conspiracy theories. And we still don't really know what's true. And if Jack Ruby wouldn't have shot him, maybe we would have. Maybe we would have. That's why the SWAT team is there. And that's why the SWAT team needs to be there. And we need to pray for safety for everyone involved.

All right, back in just a minute. Let me tell you about Chapter. I'm pretty sure Medicare was designed by the same people who write the instructions that come with furniture for ikea. You know, you open the booklet, you look at the first page, you're like, well, that can't be right. Then you turn the page and somehow there are more parts than you started with. And you're like, wait, I. By the. By the end, you're, you're not even sure you're building a bookcase or a catapult anymore. You're just hoping you don't have screws left over when it's all done. I think that's how people feel about Medicare, and it's why I'm glad to tell you about Chapter. Their licensed Medicare advisors can compare all of the plans from all of the carriers, explain your options in a way that actually makes sense. They listen to you first. They find out about your doctors, your prescriptions, your budgets, what, you know, what procedures you may need in the future. They do the hard part so you don't have to, because life is too short to feel like you need an engineering degree just to pick health insurance, you know, or one. I wonder why you have an extra bolt sitting on the table when you're finished. So call them now. The call is free. It's £250. Say the keyword, chapter. £250 keyword chapter. Big Tech wants clicks. We want connection. There's a big difference. Glenn Beck will be back after this. So some insiders are disappointed in me, and that's fine. We're never going to agree on everything. And I welcome your disagreement and I welcome you challenging me on things. That's how I get better and how I don't miss things. But one of The Torch insiders disappointed for my opening monologue saying. I'm not saying. Not asking questions is falling for fed slop. There's a couple of things. First of all, I said, when I said in the monologue, there are those who are just like, I'm just asking questions. No, honest questions are good. But asking questions like why was Glenn Beck's daughter so close to Charlie Kirk when he died? I mean, he loves the Jews. That's not an honest question. These. These people who are posing things. I'm just asking questions. No, they are planting seeds of destruction. It's like I talked to you yesterday about the Smithsonian. They're taking you and showing you everything about Ben Franklin, and then they just ask a question. You know, he had slaves. Did he ever do electric experiments and electrocute slaves as part of his experiments? That's not an honest question. You're planting the seeds of destruction. So I agree with questions. Question with boldness. Even the very existence of God is a motto of mine. It doesn't make you low IQ to ask questions. That's not what I'm talking about. And by the way, I don't know what the fed slop is on this. And here he is not guilty right now. This is not even the trial. We haven't heard the other side, and I can't wait to hear the other side. But so far, it looks pretty darn damning. Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you right now. Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and leave a comment. Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it. A big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate review share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday this year, I'd like to ask you a question. How much of the beef on America's grills actually come from America? The answer is probably going to surprise you. More than 85% of the grass fed beef sold in grocery stores is not from America. 85. That's not good. One of the reasons I like Good Ranchers is because of that number. They partner with local farmers and ranchers to deliver 100% American meat straight to your door. No imported mystery meat, just high quality American beef, chicken, pork and seafood raised right here. I love what they're doing, bridging the gap between American families and American farms.

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad that you're here. All week I've been talking to you about what's happening in Iran and I want to give you one last button on this because once you understand what the President A is afraid of, he's afraid of a couple of things. I mean real true, no bs. I'm terrified of this kind of stuff. Donald Trump would tell you nuclear war because once somebody drops any kind of bomb, every scenario shows global nuclear war. You cannot have anybody drop a bomb and so you can't get, you're not going to contain Iran. As I've explained earlier this week, it's not like North Korea or the Soviet Union. They cannot get a bomb. So he knows that and that's why we went in. Second thing, why the 60 day delay? What is he negotiating for? What's going on? Everybody's been arguing about this. Well, he told me on Friday. I had a conversation with him a week ago and he brought this up twice in our conversation. We probably talked for 20 minutes and two separate times he brought up global depression. And Glenn, new information came to me, you know, when they said that was going to be, you know, 150 to $300 sustained oil. I knew how I was going to fight this. I knew that wasn't going to happen. But new information has come to me and he didn't tell me what it was. But I will tell you that it meant global depression. And I will not be the man who brings us into global depression. We have to avoid that at all costs. So what was he talking about? I can't tell you for sure, but I think I can give you a pretty good idea on what he was talking about and it explains his current actions with Iran. So let me spend just 20 minutes here on what the plan is and what he's trying to avoid. What was that new information in my opinion? We'll give that to you here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about rapid radios. Trying to keep a group of people in communication. Your plan to basically use the power of positive thinking because that's not a plan, but that's really what it is. You know, everybody is just going to stay together. I'm sure we're not going to get separated. I'm sure cell service is going to be great. Those are not strategies. When you have a big team that is working on doing something and they need to be coordinated, you cannot rely on, you know, somebody seeing the text message. This is why rapid radios exist. They give you a simple, reliable way to stay in touch whether you're traveling, running an event, working a job site, or just trying to keep your family on the same page. No complaints, complicated setup, no programming, no monthly fees. You just turn them on, press a button and talk. I'm all for positive thinking, but communication is better when you're using rapid radios.

So equip your family or your crew today. Rapidradios.com bundle Rapidradios.com bundle All right, so let's start where I left this yesterday. Yesterday I told you that Donald Trump is hunting. He is actually hunting for something in Iran. And he's not hunting for a moderate. He is not hunting for a good man. He is hunting for an Albert Spear. You don't know who Albert Speer is. He was good friend of Hitler. He was the architect for Hitler. A really bad guy just escaped the noose in the Nuremberg trials because in the end he was the guy that Hitler said I want you to do the Nero Doctrine which was burn everything down in Germany. The German people have betrayed us and these the west is not going to get their hands on anything. So burn it all to the ground. And and Albert Speer wanted to survive. He knew this was over. You know, it was four weeks from the end, and he. He was talking to Hitler and he's like, I don't think that's a good idea. You'll do it? Yes, sir, I will. And then he didn't. He actually became a roadblock. And, and, and that's why he escaped the noose in the end. So that's what he's looking for. Okay? Now the question is, what are the odds that this is going to work? What if this doesn't work? What happens if there's nobody there to find? So let's start where we actually stand, because it has moved since the beginning of this thing. The bombs have already fallen. Ali Khomeini is dead now, killed in the opening strike back in February. His son, apparently, he's alive. No real proof of that, but installed inside of 10 days by the Revolutionary Guard that wanted its own man in the chair before anybody could argue, there's now a signed memorandum, 60 day clock oil moving through Hormuz again. And the thing that started all of this, the enriched uranium is still in the ground. It's buried under sites that we cratered, but we did not empty it. The stockpile is the whole game. Everything else is scenery here. So the spear that we need, the Albert spear that we need, is now very, very specific. It's not a defector with a conscience who, whatever or whoever is inside that battered structure decides to hand over the uranium and let inspectors prove that it's gone is what we're looking for. Now, here's why it may not work. So far, we don't see a lot of wavering from China and Russia, the patrons of Iran. Putin has pledged unwavering support for the sun. Within days, Beijing warned everybody. You know, you know, hands off. However that has decayed since the trip with Donald Trump. He made some real good, good moves with Beijing, and he is in talks with Moscow now. And. And I'm not sure how solid their support for Iran really is, but as long as Moscow and Beijing look like they're going to catch the regime if it falls, nobody on the inside of that regime is going to wake up and conclude that the ship is sinking. Because from where he would be sitting, if he's got Beijing and he's got Moscow, it's not. It's not going anywhere. The man at the very top is the wrong man to reach for a hardliner who lost his wife and his felon family in the strike. They made him the leader. He's promised vengeance. This is not hard arithmetic. Okay, but the 60 day clock cuts both ways. It pressures the regime, but it also gives regime time to find its own wavering men and shoot them. That's the other thing that I think the Trump administration is looking for. Are they shooting anyone inside of. Of the team? This has been done before, several times. So let me take you back to the war. In, in. In Germany, 1942, there's a hospital in Alers. There's a French admiral sitting in his son's bedside. His boy had polio. And the admiral is the single most important man in North Africa, but he doesn't know it yet.

[Jack Posobiec]

Okay?

[Glenn Beck]

His name is Francois Darlan. He's a collaborator. Eighteen months earlier, he had gone on the radio and told France that German. That Germany was a much better friend than Britain would ever be. He's Vichy to the bone. Okay? He's a collaborator with the Germans. On the night of November 8, 100,000American and British troops come out of the dark onto the beaches of Morocco and Algeria in what was called Operation Torch. Every one of those landings could turn into a bloodbath because the French forces on that coast might fight. That invasion had been wired for two years, not by a general, but by Robert Murphy, a career State Department guy sent by Roosevelt as his personal man in North Africa. And Murphy's cover really was a grocery list. It was an agreement to ship American food and goods into the French colonies, monitored by 12 new vice consuls. Twelve amateurs, an Ivy League guy, wine merchants and lawyers. Oh, and a Coca Cola salesman, all fluent in French, itching to be useful. Washington called these guys the 12 apostles. Their real job was not providing groceries in Coca Cola. It was to move quietly through the officer corps and take the temperature of every colonel and every general on that coast to find the men who had changed side, change sides. When the day came, okay, and they had a hero picked out. General Henri Girard. I think he had escaped from a German prison, smuggled into Gibraltar by submarine. He was a clean guy, brave guy, exactly what you would, you know, want on a liberation day, okay? And when the moment came, Gerard gave his orders. And the French officers looked at him and shrugged. And here's why. He didn't have the authority. The good man that they had could not deliver. Nobody listened to him. The man who could deliver was the collaborator at the hospital bedside. He was the Vichy commander in chief. He was the only the. He was the only guy whose word the troops would obey. So Eisenhower is looking at this guy and he's like, he is a collaborator with the Nazis. He is horrible. We have this other guy who's a hero. He's perfect, and nobody's going to listen to him. So Eisenhower said, plug your nose, make the deal. Recognize the guy at the bedside as the High commissioner, let him keep his chair. In exchange, he has to order the guns down. He did the shooting, stopped the Allies got their springboard into Europe. Okay? The American press lit Eisenhower on fire for it. You are cutting a deal with the pro Nazi. Does any of this sound familiar? This is going to sound familiar, I'm telling you. You're making a deal with the answer Roosevelt and Churchill gave was the coldest, truest thing of the whole war. We're not here to reward a good man. We are here to stop the shooting and get on with a beating of Germany. So they looked at Darlin as an instrument, by the way. Six weeks later, young guy comes into his office and shoots him dead. History moves on without him, you know, which is about. You know what a guy like that earns. Okay, now, take this back to Tehran. How does Trump send the message that he needs a spear? Well, he doesn't send the message. You can't stand at a podium and announce you're shopping for a traitor. You'll get the honest men killed and the regime put on alert. So what Roosevelt did was build a channel quietly, so when the crisis would come, there was already a wire running to the men who might move. That's the work. And I'll bet you that we're not doing that work.

[Jack Posobiec]

Work.

[Glenn Beck]

I'll bet you the ones who probably have the people in place to. To lay that path are the Israelis. But the Qataris, the Omanis, they're doing back channels as well, I'm sure. Private assurances, personal and specific to individual figures. Look, you're going to survive. You help, you'll survive. Your family will survive, you know, your money will survive. And you're going to be able to say, I'm the guy who saved Iran. You have to hold a door open for one man at a time. And you accept the thing that stung the newspapers in 1942. The man who can deliver the uranium may be a man we may never want to stand next to. The clean insider may not have the power. The powerful insider may not be clean. You don't get to pick the one you want. You take the one that can make this stop. Now, the question is, what if there's nobody there? Well, the Operation Torch, it also answered this. If Murphy had come ashore with no channel built, no apostles, no officers cultivated the landing would have been a slaughter, and it would have happened because nobody had given anybody the chance to think that there was a door out of that. Nobody inside is not a. It's not weather that happens to you. It's what you get when you never built a channel or when you wait so long that the regime finds its own darlings in the first place and purges them and kills them. And now you're left negotiating with a room full of believers. That's the North Korea ending. A room where everybody left is a believer because the survivors are the ones who never wavered. Now, I'm. I've been going over this the last week and I've been doing a lot of thinking of this and I'm like, wow, is this really the best card that we have? I mean, is this it? And the answer is yes, because all alternatives are worse than that. And it's not even close. The alternative to finding Iran's darlin is going back and digging through that uranium by force. And we just ran that experiment. It's not good. It's not good. The Strait of Hormuz shot. Oil markets are in a panic. Largest emergency release of oil reserves in the history of the IEA and the. And at the end of all of that, the gr. This, the. The stockpile's still in the ground. More war isn't the clean option sitting, you know, next to the insider bet. It's the same gamble, but at a much higher price with the same lousy odds. The Spear strategy isn't the hopeful play, it's the least bad play. So here's what Trump has to do. And it's two things at once. And they only look like their intention. Keep the pressure on, do what he's doing. Hard, visible, unrelenting diplomatic, economic and military pressure. That's the only thing that will build the private thought inside the one guy's head like, this ship is going down, I'm going to be dead, and underneath it run the quiet wire. I don't even know how we do that, but you keep an off ramp open, personal, credible, so that some morning some senior man might look around and see the water is. This ship is sinking and he knows there's a lifeboat and he knows he's going to get him and his family into that lifeboat. The men who save countries at the end are, no, not heroes. They're usually not heroes. There's the survivors who decided one ordinary Tuesday morning they'd rather be remembered as the man who stopped the shooting than the man who went down With a ship. Trump's job is not to find the good men in Tehran because he said they're all crazy and I believe he believes that they're all crazy. His job is to find the one crazy guy who is more self interested, who has done the math, already sees that the light is on, a welcome, lifeboat is welcome for him. Find that guy now. Why didn't we just keep hammering them? Why this 60 day thing? President said something to me on Friday that I think is really important that you understand because things can change for all of us all over the world, quickly, overnight. And I'll explain that in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor, our sponsor this half hour is Legacy Box. You know I talk to talk to you a lot about preserving history but preserving family members memories with Legacy Box is so important. You are the family historian. How important it is that you have those beautiful family members survive the test of time. I tell you critical, but I want you to to consider how important it is that you're able to blackmail your children with all the dumb and embarrassing things they did when they were kids. I can't tell you how much how I mean. Oh really? I'm going to sit down with your new girlfriend. I'm going to show her all of these pictures. Please, dad. Okay, so there's two reasons to do it. It's really important and it's important for blackmail reasons. Anyway, family treasures, you got to preserve them. And Legacy Box is in that business. They take the old VHS tapes, the camcorder cassettes, the film reels, the photos that have been sitting in a closet for years, digitize them by hand, send them back to you so the memories are safe for the next generation because one day your kids are going to have kids of their own. And turnabout is fair play. It just is. Don't let your family story disappear on your watch.

So I don't have enough time and if it's important, I'll go into it on Monday in greater detail. But I think you'll, I think you'll get it. The president said to me last Friday a couple of times and, and he didn't tell me what information was shared but he changed tactics. Okay, and we got this 60 day wait for some reason because he said somebody came and said hey, global depression. And he's like that cannot happen. We have high prices, et cetera, et cetera. But we cannot collapse the West. And there are all kinds of signs. I don't know what they were, but looking at it, I think it has to do with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The spr, the. The oil reserves that we have. These were for strategic reasons. Joe Biden almost emptied these damn things. And we have a hard floor. Okay, you have. Currently the SPR is about 300 million barrels. Hard floor of 150 million barrels. After that, you start destroying infrastructure and everything else we are now. If we wouldn't have changed anything by July 27, that SPR would have been at zero. We have helped the world and our gas prices and everything else recover and stay as stable as possible. We have got to get our SPR back and get it back up. If this would collapse on us, it is global depression. That's why he's doing it. Driving the price down to $80 a barrel. Refill that thing up as fast as you can. And give time to hunt for an Albert Spear. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, llc, a licensed insurance agency. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

You know the. The amazing thing is about this war

[Courtroom Attorney]

is

[Glenn Beck]

everybody fighting the war on both sides. They know the facts. Numbers are numbers. Math is math. Okay? We know how much oil they have over in Iran. And how, how, how? You know how much storage they have before they have to shut the pumps down? When they shut the pumps down, then it destroys everything. How do they keep it flowing? You know, we, we know the math. We know how many, you know, how much armament they have, how many troops they have, et cetera, et cetera. Math is math. They know on our side, the numbers on the economy. They know about China. They know about the West. They know how oil works. They know who has resources and who doesn't have resources. Okay, so you're not telling the world when, when I say things like I just said about this Strategic Petroleum Reserve. They know it. They know it. What people outside of, you know, strategy for their side and outside of strategy for our side or going in and brief the President, the average person doesn't know all this stuff. And so the only ones that are uninformed on these things is you. Everybody. The president knows it. His advisors know it. The mullahs know it.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

It.

[Glenn Beck]

Their advisors know it, okay? Because they're playing the game strategically. Every day. They have to know these numbers. You know, and everybody has a computer now. You know, everybody has access to, you know, chatgpt or just even Google. And you can find all of these things. The world's reserve oil. As I was in the break, and I'm looking up because I wanted to know, how long will it take us to put our reserves back into place? It is bad. So China had 360 million barrels in government reserves, plus a billion barrels in reserve commercially. And they treat all of it. So that's 1.4 billion barrels. It's the biggest buffer on Earth when this happened, they were the biggest shock absorber. It slashed their imports by 3 million barrels a day. So it started pulling 3 million barrels a day out of their reserves. Plus, they were, you know, they were also helping others that they could. And so they were acting as a shock absorber for their part of the world.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

World.

[Glenn Beck]

China had 263 million barrels of government stock. The OECD, Europe, 179 billion. South Korea, 70. 79 million barrels. Collectively. The world now, from China to the United States on all sides, has spent all of its safety margin. The oecd, the government inventories over for Europe say it's their lowest level since December 1990. That's the last Gulf War. And the way they measure that is how many days could they survive? Could they go and provide cover? They are down now. This was two months ago to 50 days.

[Jack Posobiec]

Wow.

[Glenn Beck]

The rest of the world is 50 days away as well. So 60 days of a respite here trying to let the world catch its breath, bring the oil prices down. So let the economy catch its breath, let people catch its breath. But here's. Here's the problem. We can draw 4.4 million barrels a day, and we've been doing that now for a while. Joe Biden was drawing down the SPR because he wanted to help the economy to win an election. Donald Trump was talking about refilling the spr. And when you think of that, you think about like a guy, you know, Uncle Sam standing there by the gas tank, you know, by. And the pump just kind of holding on to the, you know, pump and keeping it going. It's not like that at all. We can. We can draw down 4.4 million barrels a day, but we can only refill at 785,000 barrels a day. So we are pulling out much faster than we can ever replenish. That's 3 million barrels a month that we can put in to the strategic oil reserve. That's a problem. We're the lowest now than we have been. If we want to fill this thing up at full speed, if we said let's fill this thing back up to the way it was before Joe Biden, full speed ahead. Do you know when we get back, if we full 2031, if we want to get back to where it was just this spring, it will be mid-2028. This is a real problem. This is why presidents have always said, don't touch the SPR for politics, it's for war. Because now, because we touched it for politics, we're sitting here at war. And just to get back to where we were this spring will take us if we start now mid-2028. And the world is on the edge on this, that's why the president is pushing so hard, because we have them over a barrel. But they also know, literally, they have us over a barrel. And you never want to be in that position with people who. Who just want to watch the world burn. But the good news is we have people like Zoran Manvani. I don't know if you heard, but I think he's building his own little fiefdom. I think he's building his own little country. His top official, which. What is her. She is the commissioner in charge of Ricky. What is her official title, do you know?

[Ricky]

He is the commissioner for International Affairs.

[Glenn Beck]

International affairs. Okay, so Commissioner for International affairs in Mamdani's office, those are people that would go and make deals, you know, so hey, move your factories or move your business over here. You know, look at what New York has to offer. And they, you know, cities need those things. However, not, not people who are going in to our enemies and meeting with our enemies. We, we have embargoes against Iran. So what deal could New York and Mamdani be wanting from Iran when it's illegal to do business with Iran? So his office for International affairs had plans to meet with the Iran ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations. And so they had scheduled appointments and they were supposed to meet in the mayor's office July 7th at 11am now this comes from the City Journal. It's all documented. They have the pictures of the calendar, you know, from the office and, and everything else. Well, somebody found out about it and said, what the hell are you doing? And that is the State Department. The State Department said, excuse me, international, international violations here. You're violating everything. You do not have a right to go in and meet with somebody that we're at war with. The meeting is not going to happen. And the State Department came down with a massive hammer on Mamdani. And so the meeting did not happen. But what was that meeting for? What is mom, Donnie doing? Why is he meeting with an enemy of the United States of America? And by the way, just a couple of days before, he's sitting at George Washington's desk and he's giving that awkward, almost hostage looking video. I mean, the only thing he was missing was an ISIS flag behind him. But he's, he's talking about how, you know, the United States has failed and everything and, you know, socialism is the answer and they're not going to celebrate July 4th or, you know, and then three days after July 4th, he's supposed to be meeting and his office is meeting with the Ambassador of Iran. Why? Why, why would you do that? What, what, what city, what mayor has anything to say to the enemy we're currently at war with? This guy is, I'm telling you, Ricky, I'd love to hear your point of view on this because, I mean, I think he is, he is setting up his own little fiefdom. He is setting up New York to be its own, like, almost like its own little separate socialist state where he's king. Yeah, and I think he's, I think he is thinking that he's like the President of the United States. I think he's either running for it or he just is so, you know, under some delusion that he is, you know, just like the President of the United States, and he can do all these things. He's a dangerous guy. What's your take on this?

[Ricky]

I'll just add a little bit more background to the top Mom Donnie official that was going to meet with Iran. Her name is Anna Maria Archilla. I think I'm pronouncing that correctly. And if you think for one second that she has a background in diplomacy, international affairs, policy. Foreign policy, she has zero. Her resume is being a progressive activist for immigrant rights. So I don't really think we're looking to bring a whole lot of new, you know, Iranian immigrants to New York City at this time when we're in the middle of war. So there is some real subterfuge that was likely going on there. And then to add to your point about Mom Donnie, he is clearly setting something up to position himself potentially for 20, 28. He's weighing in on the ice shooting of an illegal immigrant in Houston, pretending like, right, it's his job to make a statement, a national statement, about how we need to abolish ice. Like, dude, you got enough problems in your own backyard. Your socialism experiment is going to fail. Wake up.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, I want to share something that I've been working on this last week on, because I've been thinking a lot about how do we teach people about socialism? And everybody's heard the Cuba story, and everybody's heard the, you know, Russia story, and they're like, we're not talking about Cuba. We're not talking about Russia. Well, yes, you are. You actually are. And I shared with you just earlier this week or late last week, the story about, you know, Scandinavian socialism. That is a myth. That that's what they were up until the 1980s, and it started to fall apart. And so they changed. Now they are more free market than the United States of America. Yes. They still have a big safety net for their people. That's what they want to do. But that's not socialism. That's a big safety net. Yes, it's redistribution of the wealth, which people will say is socialist. But the problem with socialism is you're taking other people's money. But if you have a strong free market and high, high taxes, then you're taking those. That money. And you're not punishing businesses. You know, that business is the one that's making all the money so you can afford the safety net. That's the problem with socialism. But I have to. I want to share something with you.

[Jack Posobiec]

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

Pass it on. Crank the game.

[Glenn Beck]

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. I got a health update for the sad, soggy dino, Mitch McConnell, because I just got off the phone with him at a 20 minute substantive conversation, 20 minute conversation with him. We talked about mathematics, rocket science, and of course, what we're going to do with the budget next. He is sharp as I've ever seen. Sharp as a test attack. Never seen him like that. Boy, I couldn't imagine. I can't imagine him even being sharper. It was almost like talking to Joe Biden. But anyway, there's a problem in our country that we have old think we have Republicans and that are like Mitch McConnell, think they're living in 1955 or, you know, I don't think he thinks anymore. But anyway, you know, know it's like it's 1955. You have the Democrats who think that it's 1955 and they're playing the same game they've always played and the American people are done with it. And so on the other side you have, you know, Trump and people who are sick of the Republicans but are conservatives. And then on the other side with the Democrats, you have the people who are sick of the old game and they're socialists. And the only ones, the only ones that are talking to the American people, people right now, where they live, I think are the socialists. And we need to change that. So let me start with sad Soggy Dino here in just a second. First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. You've heard the expression every little bit helps. It's one of those things we say so often you can forget how true it really is. Because if you're the person who hasn't eaten today, a hot meal isn't just a little bit. If you're cold, a warm blanket isn't just a little bit. You're living through war or crisis. Knowing someone that hasn't forgotten you makes all the difference in the world. A little bit of hope goes a long way. That's why I love the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Day after day they provide food, shelter, medical care, life saving assistance to men and women and families who are Jewish who are facing some of the hardest circumstances that they've faced in a very, very long time and making sure that they know that they're not facing that crisis alone. As America continues celebrating 250 years of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews turns to God in prayer, asking that his wisdom will guide elected officials and lead American Israel to moral clarity and unity. USA Israel Flagpin. You can get TODAY online right now and wear it proudly. Flagpin IFCJ.org Go to flagpin IFCJ.org well, here's the latest. This came from an insider today. They were talking about the sad soggy dino, Mitch McConnell. And I just thought that really, I mean that that needs to be set to music.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

Everybody's talking to him this week, 20 minutes deep, solving all the problems while he stares into the deep. Am I the only one that has and had a 20 minute conversation with Mitch this week? Said Soggy Dino doing the prehistoric creep woke up to the spin spoke to Mitch 20 minutes, sharp as attack. He's holding Shakespeare while the turtle just stares into the black. On camera he looks like a Jurassic park exhibit left out in the rain. The pattern, really. He's Einstein. Best chap they've ever had, they claim. Like your grandpa at Thanksgiving. After too much eggnog and applause, they all got the memo. He's fine, guys, totally fine. Like fine wine left open since the Reagan years. Age just right, sad, soggy Dino. Still running the machine.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, he is. He's running that machine and he's so good at it. He is just a fabulous, fabulous. This is the problem with the Republicans. Republicans are playing the same game the Democrats are playing. Didn't we see this movie with Joe Biden? No, he's sharp as attack. I just had a 20 minute phone call with him. I mean, exactly the same playbook. And the Republicans are now doing it with Mitch McConnell. Why? Because they have to have Mitch's vote. They gotta have it, gotta have it, gotta have it. So let's just keep him alive as much as this, I mean you get, when you get your, your congressional pen, you know, or your Senate pen that you wear on your lapel, it should come with a little drool cup. Now, at this point, for the love of Pete, what are we doing? And this is not going to appeal to any voter. No voter wants this. Let me just, let me just lay this out for you. As I said, you have the Republicans and the Democrats that are cut from the same cloth all in denial that anything has changed. They're operating honestly, like they have operated the whole time. Nothing has changed. We control the machine, nothing's going to move. We'll tell them what they want. We'll just, we'll just pass a, you know, we'll just bring up a flag burning amendment and we'll get all the Republicans and all of the. Then they'll be all in our corner again. No, we're not buying that anymore. You're not doing anything. And what are we arguing for? We're trying to get them to pass voter id, something that is so simple it should have been done months ago so we can actually talk about the real issues like the price of a

[Jack Posobiec]

house,

[Glenn Beck]

the price of groceries. What are we doing on housing? We're not talking about that because we can't, because we're trying to get basics done that are no brainers, which you'd think they'd be able to do because I don't think the Republicans have brains anymore. So give us the no Brainers like, hey, id, when you go into vote, can you get that one done for us? No, apparently not. And so the ones who are doing something, they're trying to work on that. Which stops us from talking to voters who are not engaged at the level that you and I are engaged at every day. They're worried about the future. They're worried about their kids being able to afford a house, them being able to afford a house, a job, et cetera, et cetera. Who's talking about that? Well, not the Democrats. The Democratic socialists are talking about it. And it's being presented as a new and exciting idea. And it's not a new and exciting idea. It's an old idea that never, ever, ever works. And they've wrapped it up into all this new language, you know, fairness and, and equality. And, you know, we're. We're actually having our kids talk about living on stolen ground. Show me an inch of the earth that hasn't been taken from somebody else.

[Courtroom Attorney]

It.

[Glenn Beck]

That's the way of the world. It's always been that way. You want to damn the United States, then you have to damn everybody else. But we're not talking about that because we're just trying to get a fair election. And the Republicans are just trying to hold on to their machine, and the Democrats are just trying to hold on to their machine. And so all that's left that's really talking about things that people care about, like housing are the Democratic socialists. Let me tell you a story, and I'm going to tell these every day because there are literally hundreds of these stories. I could not believe. I started doing my research on hundreds of these stories in the United States. We take you back to 1825. This is before Marx, because socialism is not a new idea. 1825, a rich man buys a town. Very wealthy. And not a lot, not a block, an entire town. 20,000 acres on the river in. Or what is it, Wabash river in Indiana. He buys 180 buildings, mills that are already working, orchards, orchards that are already bearing fruit, dormitories that have already been built. He pays $150,000 for that in that day in 1825. That was a fortune. He was a very wealthy guy. His name is Robert Owen. And he didn't buy the town to get richer. He bought the town to prove a point. And here's the point. He believed that private property was one of the three great evils. The other two, organized religion and marriage. This sound familiar? Organized religion, marriage and private property. And he believed that if you take really good people and give them shared ownership of everything. You erase the line between what's what's mine and what's yours. They would stop competing and people would start cooperating and a new and better world would be born. He called it New Harmony. It still exists. And it's an amazing town, by the way. It's not socialist. So this guy was not a crank on the corner street. It was not. It's not Mom, Donnie. It's somebody who is. I mean, in that year, in February, he stood in the hall of the House of representatives in Washington D.C. and he laid his plan out for a society without private property. And to show you how much of not a cranky is, sitting in that room were three former presidents of the United States. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, the sitting president, James Monroe, the incoming president, John Quincy Adams, the most respectable audience socialism has ever had in one room on American soil. He lays it all out. He goes to Indiana and he builds it. Now, now, he didn't fail because he was poor. Remember, he was rich. He didn't fail because the people that he had in the town were stupid. He brought the finest minds in the country yet. Thomas say the father of American entomology. He had naturalists and educators and scientists, all true believers who sold their businesses, put all of their money into this, move their families across the wilderness because they believed. There was 900 of them and every single one of them was a volunteer. Every one of them was there because they wanted to be on paid for land with a working economy that they could, that would be handed to them like a finished house. And they could all live in this utopia if cooperation could ever beat competition anywhere. This is where it should have worked.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

Worked.

[Glenn Beck]

How long did it last? Two years. Why? For the same reason it always collapses. The people who worked the hardest looked around and saw the people who, who were eating the same bread, sleeping under the same roof, wearing the same clothes, answered to the same nobody were not working. And so they're like, if he's not working, why am I working so hard? So they stopped working. Why wouldn't you? Production falls. Food starts to run short, buildings begin to rot. Because when everyone owns the mill, no one repairs the mill. No one loses when it breaks, no one gains when it's fixed. So the meetings, the meanings replace the work. Owen wrote seven different constitutions in two years trying to legislate his way out of human nature. None of them held because human nature is human nature. One of the guys who was there was an inventor, his Name was Josiah Warren. And he walked away and spent the rest of his life on the opposite idea. Okay? Their united interests, he said, were directly at war with the individualities of persons and the instinct of self preservation. That is a natural instinct. Preserve yourself, okay? And again, the collective. He spends his whole life going, the collective doesn't work. Instinct to survive wins. It always wins. Owen's own son, who lived through the whole thing, he wrote later. Any scheme that plays the industrious and the idle exactly the same works on its own downfall. Now, let me tell you why I'm telling you that story. I think it's pretty obvious, but I want to be more clear on why I'm telling you that story. Because something that is not new has arrived in America again. So what do we do about it? 60 seconds. I'll tell you.

[Jack Posobiec]

First.

[Glenn Beck]

First, it's tempting to look for shortcuts whenever you can. If there is a faster, easier way to get something done, why not take it, right? The trouble is, some shortcuts end up, you know, becoming the long way around. You can decide to cut your own hair, fix your own transmission, assemble a new grill without reading the instructions, and every now and then, you might get away with it. More often than not, though, you end up calling an expert to fix the mess the shortcut created. Buying or selling a home is not a place to find out which kind of person you are. That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust instead of hoping that the first name that pops up online or somebody who's like, yeah, my cousin. Oh, you got to have somebody you can actually count on from the very best. So we have experienced agents that have been carefully vetted for their knowledge, their integrity, their track record of putting clients first. So check out realestate Agents I trust. Dot com. Do that first. Interview some of these people. We. We don't. You don't pay me for the name. All you have to do is just go. You interview them. If you don't see a difference, then go hire somebody else. But I think you're going to see a difference. It's real estate. Agentsitrust.com realestate agentsitrust.com 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay, so something new in America. Young, exciting, inevitable. The mayor in our largest city calls himself a Democratic socialist, sworn to office, into office by Bernie Sanders, promising to freeze your rent and give you the bus for free. And the city's gonna run in your grocery store and. And make people rich. Except for the rich people who they're going to condemn and get rid of. Somebody's got to pay for all of it. So it's popular and it's going to end up the same way. Okay, his numbers are up and he isn't keeping it to himself. He's funding carry candidates to carry it into Congress. The anger underneath it is not stupid. A young person who looks at a house that his parents bought on one income, does the math today and go, I can never live there. I can never touch that. He looks what happens at a hospital when they have hospital charges, what a diploma cost, what a week of groceries cost. And he's promised. He's been promised. You work hard, you study, you play it straight. It's going to add up. Well, it doesn't add up. That's real. And anyone who wants to win this argument had better say so out loud. What you're feeling in your, in your wallet is real. And right now, the socialist is the only one saying it. The Democrats who aren't socialists have exactly one idea. And this is their one idea. Stop Trump. Oh, I'm so sick of that. Stop the other guy. Nothing about your grocery bill, no energy, no argument, nothing. You know, nothing but a name that you're supposed to be against. And my side, the Republican party can't get out of its own way if you painted arrows on the floor. They're not passing bills their own voters want by 80%. They're not talking about the price of a home or a gallon of milk when they mention prices at all. It's to tell you to be patient because of oil. Patience is not a message. The other guy is worse is not a message. And you cannot beat something with nothing you can't beat. I'm gonna give you free stuff with. Calm down, calm down. So we have surrendered so much ground, it's time to take it back. And you start with telling the truth about like new harmony. What, what is that story really about? The socialist is standing in front of a pie and his entire promise is to how to slice it. I'm going to give you some of this pie, okay? Take from him and I'm going to give it to you. Freeze this. Cap that. Seize this. Every last thing he offers is a different way of cutting up a pie that somebody else has already baked. We are the people who know how to bake more pie. And that's always been the whole argument. But somewhere along the way we forgot how to say this. So say it. Why is a house so expensive? Because there's nobody doing it. It's not because greed was invented in 2019. A house costs a fortune now because most of this country has made it flatly illegal to build one. Zonings and permits and parking rules and review boards and years of paperwork before a single nail goes in. Housing is scarce because we outlawed the cure. The socialist answer? Freeze the rent. That does the one thing guaranteed to make it worse. It tells every builder to stop building and every owner to stop maintaining. That's new Harmony all over again. The mill. Nobody repairs at the scale in New York of 8 million people. Why does college cost so much? Why? Health care. You look at where the prices scream upward and you're going to find every single time a place where government poured money into demand and then choked off the supply. Supply. Then look at the television on your wall or the phone in your hand. Things that nobody subsidize, anyone can build. And watch the price fall year after year while things get better. That's not magic. That's the difference between a market, a free market, and a monopoly. So the message for the broadcasters like me and any Republican with a functioning brain. Sorry, Mitch. It's not. No, it's not. Leave it alone. Leave it alone. Sounds like a man defending a house that's on fire. The message is unleash it. Build. We're the party of cheaper and cheaper. Because we let you build and we let you produce and we let you compete and we will let you keep what you earn. Legalize the building of a house again. Fire up the power plants. Get out of the way of the people who make things. Get out of the. The way of people who create jobs. Not as a favor from the bureaucrat, but as the natural result of being free people. You know, look at. Except for war. Notice we don't have a problem with energy. We're not talking about the energy crisis. Except for the war. We know what's causing our price of gas to go up now. Why? Because he said, drill, baby, drill. Free it all up. That's what he's got to do. On housing and everything else. Free it up. And on the rich, the ones you're told to hate. I'm not going to ask you to feel sorry for a billionaire. But I will ask you one question. Has envy ever built a house for you? Has resentment ever lowered a single price for you or. Or filled a single job? The question is never. If some man across town has too much. The question is, do you have a road to more? Socialism offers you the warm feeling of pulling him down. Freedom offers you the road to get it yourself. Only one path feeds Those families, Come on, America. Come on, Republicans, get on the message or you. You're going to lose more in a minute. There was a time when the worst thing that could happen to your wallet was you could lose it. Today your wallet can be sitting safely in your pocket while somebody halfway around the world is just trying to open a credit card in your name. And that's the thing about identity theft.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. You know, we were just talking about what we as a people have to do. We as conservatives need to do. And we need to start talking about building. You know, we need to be the ones who promise more. More homes, more power, more work, more invention. We're the only ones that actually know how that works. And that's what, that's our mantra. And that's not a defensive crouch. We're in this defensive crouch right now. It's the most hopeful message in all of American life, and it happens to be true. We're the ones who build. So let's free the builders. And I told you about why socialism. How many times socialism has been tried here in the America, in America. I just want you to just take that story to your kids tonight. New Harmony. New Harmony. Look it up. New Harmony, Indiana. Built by people who owned their own labor Answered for their own work. The town is still standing today. The dream that ignored human nature. You can't go against human nature itself. And you don't have to out shout them. You just have to out build them, out teach them. And that starts at our tables, okay? And it starts with understanding the world. I want to talk to you about the wedge. And I've been talking about it for the last week or so, but there is this wedge and everything, I mean, pretty much everything boils down to this. The big movements that we're fighting right now. You stand on a corner in, in the right city and you're going to hear from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. And you're told this is the language of justice. You know, the oppressed finding their voice at last. Okay, you walk a few blocks and picture a different march. Men with torches saying, this land is white. It belongs to the European. And everyone else can go back where they came from. You'd name that one Evil. Evil. Immediately, half a second, racist. Poison. We bled a war to kill. So one is like a felony and the other is a hashtag. Because when the chant means no Jews in the land they call Palestine, it's saying the same thing as the man with the torch who's saying, nobody who's not white in the land we call America. This land belongs to my group.

[Jack Posobiec]

Okay?

[Glenn Beck]

Your group doesn't get to exist here. Wherever it is, one points it at the Jew, one points it at everybody who's not white. But it's the same thing. They just move the target. It's collectivism. Then there's the one that wears the graduation gown. And it tells you that every white person carries debt for a sin that he never committed, a stain he inherited in blood. And the only way to scrub it out is to become anti racist, which when you read the fine print, means racist in the other direction. Judge people by color, assign by color, settle the account by color. The same message as the torch, except it's not for whites, it's for blacks. And then there's the one with a brick in the spray can that says the rich is the disease. Jail em, beat em. Take it from them literally. Guillotines in the streets because they had it coming for being what they are. Rich. These all seem like four separate movements, Four separate flags. And people who would sooner die than sit at the same dinner table. But look at them. Not the slogans, look at the shape. Every single one of them needs you to hate. A category, not a man. A category. The Jew the white, the rich, the black, the colonizer. Every single one of them tells you your suffering has a face, and that face belongs to a group. And every one of them offers you the identical bargain. Hand me the power and I'll deal with that group. America, we are not facing as many problems as you think. That's not four problems. That's one problem. And it has a name. And the name is collectivism. Now ask all of them what they're trying to burn down. It's not the same politician, not the same party, not the same house. It's the Declaration, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Have you ever heard once any of these movements rise up to defend the rights of the individual without cloaking it with the collective? No. You've got the left who put trigger warnings, trigger warnings on our documents. Others that just want to erase those documents call them the problem. They're the root of the rot. Paper written by dead men who owned people. But these are the documents. These are the tools that ended the thing they're accused of. All men are created equal is the sentence with no escape hatch in it. Don't believe me? Frederick Douglass picked it up and swung it like a hammer at the men who wrote it and won because they created the weapon in the founding that he picked up up. That sentence is about the individual, not the group. You, one soul made on purpose, equal to every other soul standing on your own two feet before the law and before God. And there is nothing a collectivist hates more than that. Because if we're individuals, you can't be organized into a mobile. The individual can't be told his worth is his category. The individual can't be told, you have no value unless you parrot these things that the party or the commissar or the race tells you you have to do. They see a creator who made people one at a time. They don't see a stack of bricks. They see people as stones. All individual, indifferent. And you can't rule that man by teaching him to hate his neighbor because he'll meet his neighbor and go, that's not true. I see what you're saying. I see why you're upset about this and this. But all those people over there, I know some of those people over there, they're not like that. I can agree with you that what some of these people are doing is wrong. But that doesn't mean I condemn those people. So once you see the shape, you stop chasing faces. You stop letting them hand you this week's villain and next week's villain the politician in front of you is not the problem. The party is not the problem. Those are masks. Behind every mask is a wedge. And it's the same wedge. The wedge is always hammered into the same crack. A little space between you and the person standing next to you. Jam that wedge and keep hammering that wedge. Take the biggest fight over the last hundred years. Why socialism? Why communism over the free market? I mean, you have a case. Capitalism, they say, is corrupt. And I happen to agree with them. Rich men buy senators. The house always wins. And they're not lying about that. It happens all the time. It's a real problem. But watch the hand here. The cure for their corruption is to hand everything to the government and let the state own the companies, or worse, marry them. So what is it that you built when you have the government and the corporation sharing a bed? It shares an enemy's list. You've built fascism. You've just lifted out the race hate and kept the engine running. More power, fewer hands, no door out, no watchdog. The free market's sin is that it's messy because it's made of individuals. But nobody's arguing with the mess of the free market. What they're arguing about is that it's corrupt because people gag that get a lot of money and they want to protect their own company or they want to close down their. Their competitors and they go to Washington. You want to know who's writing the AI laws? The people who are running AI not you and me, not people who should be regulating them. The companies that are doing AI they're the ones writing the laws. That's the problem with capitalism.

[Courtroom Attorney]

It's

[Glenn Beck]

people. The government is meant to be the watchdog. It's to be the referee. It's not supposed to be involved in any of that stuff. And so socialism says it's gotta be involved in all of it. Well, that only makes the problem worse. Think, think. A market is millions of people that you'll never meet cooperating with. No boss, no master plan, no permission slip. It's the individual multiplied past counting. Which is exactly why it has to go, because it's the individual. So what's the answer here? It isn't a candidate. I'm sorry, if you listen to me and you. You listen to me for the candidate, it. It's. We're so far beyond candidates. We're so far beyond parties. The answer is really simple. It was sat on the table 250 years ago, and we walk right past and we're like, yeah, I really support that. You don't read it. You don't understand it. I barely understood it for most of my life. That document, 250 years ago came. The reason why that came is because of Adam Smith, wealth of Nations. The reason why wealth of nations work is because of Adam Smith. Moral sentiments, the free market. Good people with their own self restraint and a government that is run by people who want checks and balances can be trusted with a free market because it will explode and it'll pull everybody out of poverty. And that's exactly what happened until it got greedy and the government got too big and corporations just married into the government. It's the founding principle that begins with the one and not the collective. And underneath both, holding them up is a faith that will not sell you collective salvation. It won't tell you you're saved by your tribe or damned by your tribe. It stands you up alone, responsible for what you did. Nobody takes responsibility.

[Musical Interludes / Chorus]

Why?

[Glenn Beck]

Because it's the collective. Nobody needs to take responsibility. It was for the good of the many. Or he's not guilty because he's part of this tribe. Or he is guilty because he's part of this tribe. That's not the American system. That's not God's system. I don't recognize that system outside of fascism, outside of communism. This is between you and your God. Your neighbor's soul is your neighbor's soul. Okay? No one ever gets herded into heaven. There's no cowboys up in heaven going, all right, you sheep. All right, everybody through the gate now. It's one by one, man. If collectivism is the sin, and this is hard because I have to say this to myself every day when I read the news and I try to tell you what I think this means collectivism. If it's the sin, then it doesn't stop being the sin when we're the ones doing it. This is why I've come out about the Mitch McConnell thing this week. Everybody's going, I talked to him for 20 minutes and we really had a very deep discussion. No, you didn't. You most likely talked about pudding. How are you today, Mitch? Are you feeling better? Yeah, I'm feeling much better. Okay. That's the same lie that we all were talking about with, with Joe Biden. Why aren't we talking about it with Mitch McConnell? We cheer when the government finally crushes somebody we hate. When we look at a border and we see a category instead of a man, an illegal instead of a mom, a threat instead of a face. We want power, not to protect the individual. But punish the group. When we love the party more than the principal, we wave away our own people exactly the way we'd hang the other side for. That's the wedge. And it doesn't care who's handed in. It just splits us just as clean. So we have to teach this. Not from a stage to a crowd. Again. That's the collective. That's the joke of it. You teach it at one at a time, the way it's really ever been taught. One at a time. You look at one person across the table, the one who voted wrong, the one whose flag turns your stomach and you refuse to see the category you insist on. The soul. That's the whole revolution. Not a march, not a movement, not a black square. Not a person who will. Not a person who will be told to hate and needs instructions every step of the way. It's the person who. Who will not hate. All men are created equal. Start there. Start with 1. Start with whomever is in front of you right now or in the next few minutes and watch that wedge fall right out of their hands. Back in a minute. You know, it's refreshing doing business with a company that makes you wonder, what do they believe? Believe. Oh no, I know what they believe. That's what's refreshing. When you wonder what do they believe? Or you find out what they believe and you're like, wait a minute, I don't want to be. I don't want to be on that side. They'll issue carefully worded statements. Their hile hire public relation firms to explain what they really meant. And they spend an awful lot of time trying not to offend anybody. Get over it. Patriot Mobile's taking a completely different approach. They decided to be completely upfront about who they are. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They believe in the Constitution, the declaration and God. They believe in the Bible and they support the values of those things. Each year they spend millions of dollars on organizations that are defending those values. And man hours. They spend all kinds of man hours volunteering for those. Those places.
