Today's the show. You really want to hear the whole show. We talk about Father's Day and I tell you an amazing story about Ronald Reagan and his daughter Patty that you probably haven't heard. If you had kind of a quiet Father's Day, you might want to listen to this because there is hope with a broken family. And you can get that on the full podcast. But here on the shortened version, what happened in America 250 years ago, everybody knows about Declaration of Independence. Well, actually we did play some only fans girls that have no idea. I mean, wow, is it frightening? I hope it's just the only fans girls that think that Abraham Lincoln was our first. Actually they didn't even say Abraham Lincoln at first. It was the guy with the big hat, the tall hat that was our first president. But Anyway, what happened 250 years ago. It's a great story about this week in history. Also data Republican on the data centers and what's actually happening there. There is a big that is supposed to have July 18th. They're supposed to have a big rally all around the country and they say it's a conservative movement. Not so fast. Make sure you know who you're standing next to. And I spoke to Bishop Kai. He is the Bishop Anglican Church in England. There's only six of these guys that are willing to stand up. He has probably the most sobering message for Americans I've ever heard. All this and more on today's podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. Next week I'm in Washington D.C. i'm giving there's one day I don't even know what day it is. I think I'm giving three different speeches in one day. And we'll put our calendar up so you can join us if you know for some of those happening in Washington D.C. for the 250th anniversary next Saturday, America 250 comes to life. Preserving the past, educating the future. I'm doing something in my small town community here up in in Idaho. We're raising money to restore an old schoolhouse from the 1800s and and to also build out the current public library. And Tanya and I have been helping out and I wanted to volunteer my time as well. So I'm doing, I'm bringing some of my rare historic artifacts, telling really compelling stories that help shape the nation. We have two afternoon shows, a special dinner on show on Saturday night. You can reserve your seats now@oneida steakacademy.org events. We'll post that up@glenn beck.com or for the insiders, in case you want to come and I want to talk to you. I'm going to bring. I'm going to bring this. I'm going to talk to you. This is next week. I'm doing a whole thing on the show about this document. This is the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in Thomas Jefferson's own hand. And it is a remarkable document. And the story behind it is incredible. And the reason why we have to learn it is. I want to play this. Now. These are girls from only fans, so, you know, the sharpest knife in the drawer is not something that I would say we're dealing with here. But I think this is not just. Not just them. I think this is. Well, you listen. Listen to this.

Okay, so they've got to be incredibly hot, right? I mean, that's what you're thinking. They've got to be incredibly hot because how do they make it out of their house? But I personally. Ricky, I would like you to get a hold of them. I would like to give them. I honestly, I would love to give them a free pass to torch and see if we can educate them. I mean, it would be a great. It would be a great thing to, you know, six months from now be able to ask those questions and have them know those answers. So can you see if you get a hold of them for me? Oh, yeah. It would be a great thing and a great challenge after hearing that I would be done. But I think they can do it. I think they can do it. I really do. It's not that hard, you know. Look, all of us celebrate Fourth of July. Everybody does, but nobody knows what's happening, you know, happening the days before the 4th of July, you know, the week of. Of June 17th. This is. This is when this country was being born in two cities at the same Time and on two completely different tracks. And those two track slammed together on one morning. And that morning is a week from Monday. Okay, this week is really important. Let me tell you a story they didn't teach you. Picture Philadelphia, mid June 1776. Abraham Lincoln is not born yet. There is a, there's a 33 year old redheaded Virginian. He's holed up in a couple of rented rooms at the house of a bricklayer named Jake Jacob Graphic. And this redhead, his name is Thomas Jefferson. Few days earlier, June 11, Congress had handed five minute job. And those five men had quietly handed it to him. Uh, write down, write down why we're doing this. Write down what we believe. And so he sits there and he's writing this document day after day. Little folding writing box that he had designed himself. And he's scratching out and crossing things out and reaching for words big enough to hold a new kind of nation. We hold these truths to be self evident. He's not carving it in marble. He is a young man sweating over a draft, second guessing himself on every word. Getting edits back from, from Adams and Franklin in the margins. The most important sentence in the history of self government is being workshopped in a rented room over a bricklayer shop in Philadelphia. And it is boiling hot. Now hold that picture. Travel 90 miles north to New York. Because while Jefferson is writing this week what kind of men we could be, George Washington is discovering the kind of men that we already have among us. The British fleet are coming. Everybody in New York can feel it. It's the largest invasion force Britain had ever sent across an ocean. And it was about to appear in the harbor in the middle of that, because we're already at war. Most people don't know this. We're already at war. Washington's people uncover something that would have ended the entire experiment before it even had a name. Declaration hasn't even been written yet. There was a plot, a real one. Loyalists and money flowing from the royal governor, William Tyron, who had, who had, who was hiding out on a ship because you know, he's out in the harbor because he couldn't safely set foot on land. And the sitting mayor of New York City, David Matthews, he's accused of bankrolling this whole thing, this plan. What they're, what are they doing? They are quietly buying off Continental soldiers, paying them to switch sides the moment the British land. Okay, so you're wearing a blue uniform the minute the British land there to turn their guns around and blow the powder magazines, seize the bridge at the north end of Manhattan. So Washington's whole army is trapped on that island like fish in a barrel. One of the men in the plot isn't just any soldier. His name was Thomas Hickey. It's a name you should know, but we don't know. He's Irish. He's a former British deserter and hand picked for Washington's lifeguard. That's like the Secret Service. The elite handful of men whose entire job is to stand closest to the commander, chief and. And keep him alive, called lifeguards. The enemy wasn't at the gate. The enemy was already inside the tent, close enough to touch the man who the whole revolution depended on. How did they catch this? It was almost by accident. Hickey gets himself thrown in jail for passing counterfeit money, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He bragged to another prisoner about the conspiracy, about the soldiers that he had paid off that were getting ready to defect. Well, that prisoner talked. And it landed in front of a secret committee tasked with sniffing out exactly this kind of treason. Committee led by the New York. A young New Yorker named John Jay. Yes, that John Jay. The future author of the Federalist Papers, future Chief justice of the United States. Historians have called this little operation that he put together the first American intelligence agency. So America's counterintelligence service. Born in a back room, June 1776. Because we discovered in the very first month as an idea that some of us would sell the rest of us out. So the plan, we're not sure, was it to kidnap Washington, kill him, sabotage the army? Historians are still arguing about it. The mayor himself later claimed he only meant to kidnap George Washington and his guard, not to murder him. And there is an old legend, and I want you to find this one yourself. I mean, hopefully it is. It's my goal over the next year to give you some things that I say on the air that hopefully you go, I gotta check that out.
- [10:43]
B
What?
- [10:45]
A
So let me just give you this. There's a story. Check it out for yourself. About a dish of poisoned peas and a housekeeper who supposedly warned the general in time, don't eat the peas. Probably a tavern myth, some of these things, but it's worth looking up. Here's what's not a myth, what's in the court martial record in black and white. Member of George Washington's own secret service. The lifeguard stood trial for treason in the same days that Thomas Jefferson was holed up in a room with writing this. We think that this is what started the war. No, the war was already on. And there was. There were people already trying to kill George Washington. Now watch these two tracks come together. June 26, Thomas Hickey is convicted of mutiny and sedition. June 27, Washington signs off on the sentence. And the morning of June 28th, that's next Monday, 1776, 11 o', clock, they march Hickey into a field and they hang him in front of a crowd of 20,000 people. This is the first soldier this country ever executed for treason. Before we were a country, we hadn't even. Thomas Jefferson is standing up that morning in Independence hall with this document and saying, okay, go ahead and read this out loud.
- [12:14]
C
Okay.
- [12:14]
A
Before we had declared independence, we had already buried a traitor from inside the General's own guard. That same day, the same June 28, down in Philadelphia Congress, Jefferson's committee walks in, lays a draft of the Declaration of Independence down on the table to be read for the first time. I'm going to tell you the story of this. It was killing Thomas Jefferson. Killing him. He didn't say a word during the reading. He didn't read it himself. He couldn't. He didn't look at anybody. He kept his head down. Wait until I tell you the story. It's an amazing story, but one single morning in one young nation that didn't legally even exist yet, in one city, the words of who we wanted to become were first being read into the record. And another city, just up the road, a man was being hung by a rope for trying to strangle that nation in its cradle. The promise and the betrayal in the same hour, 90 miles apart, four days later, July 2nd, Congress votes for independence and the British fleet sails into New York Harbor. The ink isn't even dry and the enemy is already in the water. So here's why I can't stop thinking about this week and what I want to bring to you this week. It would have been so easy in that moment of terror, invasion coming, traitors in the ranks, the mayor himself in on it, for Washington to become the very thing that they were fighting. I mean, this is what everybody says Donald Trump is doing. But you have absolutely, in fact, not no evidence. You have the opposite in evidence. Everybody says he's just trying to just round up everybody who betrayed him. Really? Because I. I'm not really sure about what happened in Butler. I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure that that guy, you know, is going to be deemed guilty. If he had to stand trial, are you positive he would have gone to jail for the rest of his life? I mean, here's the future President of the United States. In both cases, neither of them are saying, round everybody up and kill them. They didn't settle it with a sword in the dark. Fear gives men permission to do almost anything. Back in 1776, they didn't. They convened a committee. They gathered testimony. They held a trial in the middle of the most dangerous month of their life, with a knife already at the Republic's throat. They chose process over panic, law over vengeance. And in the same breath, in the same week, they put their names down on this document that said power has to answer to something higher than its own power. That's who we are. That's who we were. That's who we can be every day going forward. Not because we're surrounded by saints. We weren't. Hickey proved that. But because even when we're betrayed from the inside, we reached for the rule of law instead of the rope without trial. The founding wasn't clean. It was a young man rewriting sentences in a rented room while his country's own bodyguards were being bought off down the road. And it held anyway. So this year, before the fireworks, will you do me a favor? I want you to look up the poison peas. I want you to look up Thomas Hickey. I want you to look up John Jay's secret committee. Look up what really happened in New York harbor in the last days of June, 1776. Pull the thread. Pull the thread. Because the story they gave you that ends on July 4th with a clean signature and a bell, that's not the real story. The real story, the one that will keep you up at night and have you texting your friends at midnight saying you're not going to believe what I just read. The real story begins this week when we were almost lost before we ever began, and we chose the right path. That's the country worth keeping. Go find the rest of it. More in a minute. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. So a few days ago, a reporter at Axios wrote that a new group called Humans first was leading a conservative Tea Party style pushback against AI data centers. I want. I want you to listen to this. This story. There is legitimate reason to be upset about what's going on with data centers. There's also legitimate reason to be for data centers. This is something that we need to have an honest and very difficult conversation about. But I want to make sure that, you know, I opened the show today. I gave you five stories that are in the show prep. If you get my Show Prep, at glennbeck.com you sign up for it, we give you a bunch of stories every day that I look at every day. That's my show prep pile. And I, I try to look at stories and see a connection. Is there something we're supposed to learn from today's news stories? Because, you know, news isn't just news and it's not just politics. It is trying. Our mistakes, our problems are trying to teach us something. And if they keep happening over and over and over again, they're not going to change those. As long as we keep making those same mistakes, the news will continue to reflect our mistakes. So what is it the news is trying to tell us? And today I found five stories that all connect to. Tell us you're being manipulated. And be very careful. Now, that doesn't mean the underlying thing is not true. It just means you're being used. I told you over the last few weeks, I'm trying to get this concept that you have to be able to hold two truths in two different hands. One thing can be true. Data centers, if you believe data centers, they shouldn't be built, blah, blah, blah, that can be true. You can make a case for that. The other thing that I'm going to tell you today is you're being manipulated. Both of those things can be true. So hold those two things there. Data centers are good, Data centers are bad. And the other truth, you're being used. Okay, so let me tell you about Humans First. This comes from Data Republican. The group's chair is Amy Kremer. She is well known from the early days of the Tea Party. And they announced a big protest for July. Sorry, June. Yeah, July 18th. And they framed it as regular Americans finally standing up to big tech elites that are, you know, finally shoving these giant facilities in a community without enough say. And they're going to say enough is enough. Finally, enough is enough. Okay, and the way this story is written, it sounds like classic grassroots conservatism. Then Data Republican on X started looking into it and she didn't guess, she didn't rant, she just pulled public records. That's what Data Republican does. She goes to website data, the funding filings, the staff histories, all of that. And what she found is that Humans first, not started by conservatives meeting in living rooms, it was actually incubated and helped getting started with money and structure by an organization called the center for AI Testing. I think it is AI Safety, based in San Francisco, you know, where all the conservatives hang out. That group gave Human first its early funding and used the same office address. The center for AI Safety gets big money from Duskin Moskovitz. He is the Facebook co founder. Through his foundation, it also received millions from Sam Bankman Fried FTX before that company collapsed. Not again. Known as a big conservative foundation, OpenAI, one of the leading AI companies also gave it hundreds of thousands of dollars of as well. Now why would OpenAI be involved? Why would Facebook be involved in this? An earlier NBC report described the center creating Humans first as a kind of Trojan horse. That's not from data Republican, that's NBC. A way to take concerns about AI safety and make them sound like they're coming from conservatives. The early staff of Humans first included people with clear progressive backgrounds. She had one of them had worked with the Sunrise movement. That is a far left climate activist group. Another one, member of the Democratic Socialist of America. You know, I mean it almost sounds like Barry Goldwater is going to show up next, right? That person had helped run campaigns against Trump, worked for Tom Steyer's political operation organized for Kamala Harris. Their website was also using a digital platform commonly used by left leaning nonprofits and Democratic causes. In short, Axios had presented this conservative grassroots effort as conservative, but the actual origins, the money and the people running it don't look very conservative. Now, Amy Kremer has pushed back or her family has pushed back on parts of this story saying the old accusations about her leaving one of the original Tea Party groups were part of a much uglier litigious fight. It includes, you know, false personal attacks, blah blah blah, and that a jury sided with them on some of their claims. That history is complicated and it's fair to note that.
- [22:45]
C
Okay?
- [22:47]
A
But the honest bottom line on the facts, this particular national organization is not what it is being sold as. It has the look of a conservative protest, but the structure, the funding, the personnel, something built on the other side of the political aisle with help from big tech money.
- [23:09]
C
Hmm.
- [23:11]
A
Now let's go back to those two truths. That doesn't mean that every person who has concerned about data centers is part of some conspiracy or a useful idiot. Okay? It doesn't mean even the people that are, are all involved in that are, you know, lefties. These facilities are enormous and they use huge amounts of electricity and water. At least that is the charge. There are ways around those things, but in some areas they're getting fast tracked with special deals and eminent domain and non disclosure agreements that keep the local taxpayer and the residents in the dark about the impact on their power and their wells and their Farmland or their quality of life and that's got to stop. I am with you. If you don't want data centers because they're being fast tracked in the middle of the night, I am 100% on your side. If you don't want them because you just don't want a data centers, I'm not on your side. But this fast tracking everyone. There are people that have moved into, you know, farmland and moved out in the middle of nowhere for a reason. I don't want any of that crap. Why are the, why are they not going into our, our inner cities where there are giant empty factories in a large portion of this country? These giant buildings that are sitting there rotting, mow them down and build them there. Plenty of regular Americans, including conservatives, believe in local control and property rights and not letting distant corporations or government bureaucrats steamroll us in our own communities. And we have every right to ask hard questions and demand transparency. Those are legitimate small government concerns and I stand with you. So what does all of this mean? Well there is a lot of money from left leaning foundations, certain Silicon Valley circles and yes foreign interests that would love America to see to for us to lose the AI race. They want us to slow down or block the power generation and the data center construction that we need to be able to win this race. If we don't, we are going to lose it to China. The fastest way to keep America from leading in artificial intelligence is to make sure we cannot build the infrastructure that powers it. That again, two truths does not mean everyone who opposes a data center in their backyard is secretly working for the Chinese. Good people who vote the way I do have real practical reasons to be skeptical. They have seen these projects ram through without little public local input, if any. They're worried about the cost being passed on to regular families. They don't want their communities turned into an industrial zone overnight. But here is the key to this whole thing. This is what I want you to take away from this data. And again thank you data Republican for doing this hard work. Here's what I want you to take away from this. I have been railing on the ends don't justify the means. And I've got some amazing stories in the next couple of weeks that are going to teach that lesson. And you know, there's just a few lessons that I think if we can learn these lessons we can heal ourselves. One of them is ends never justify the means. The next one is the enemy of your enemy is not your friend, or at least not automatically your friend. If you're against certain data center projects for honest, local reasons. Please be very careful who you align with at the national level and whose money and organizing is behind the bigger movement. Because if you want to win, why, why, why is Facebook, why is OpenAI? Why are they backdoor funding some of this stuff? What? That doesn't make any sense. And the minute you stand with these people, if they are discredited, which I think you're starting to see here, if they're discredited, then your whole movement is discredited. So as somebody who is for data centers but wants transparency and I want certain rules, you could be dead set against data centers. Let me give you this piece of advice. You can't stand with people who are claiming to be something they're not, because when that is found out, your movement will be discredited. The people who built and funded this conservative protest group, they don't share your goals. I don't know what their goals are, but why are they? Why are they hiding? They are not fighting for abundant American energy, which we must have. I'm not sure they're fighting for communities to have a real stay or for the United States to stay the strongest, most innovative country on earth. Some of them want delay. Some of them imagine if they're on the left, want America to not be the leader in the world. Some want control, some don't want America to win. I don't know. This whole fight is bigger than any data center. However, this is what the data center argument really is about. One, do you have control of your local community? Are you still in control? Or the people that you've hired at the local community just willing to do deals behind your back because they think they know better than you, they don't know better than you. All of these things, especially this level, must be brought full sunshine in front of everyone. But beyond that, the question on data centers and electricity, are we still a nation of builders? People who will say, okay, we gotta do this, so we'll figure the power out. We have to lead in that technology to shape the next century. And we'll do it on our terms and we'll do it openly. Are we still a nation of builders? Or is that part of the American character fading away? President Trump was at the G7 last week and put America clearly in the driver's seat on AI. I mean, you want to talk about America first, what he did? The rest of the west has a choice. You look to the United States or you look to China. That's the real stakes. That's what he put out in the G7. I mean, he, he worked a deal with the G7 that if I got to tell you, if I were France, I'd be like, what now? We are beholden to the United States. We have nowhere to run. Damn right. You're dealing with somebody you keep dismissing. He's not a fool. So you have to ask yourself an honest question. Who do you want driving the next 200 years of human progress? US or China? I know where I stand. America builds, America leads. And we don't want to hand that future to people who are using our own concerns as cover to slow us down. We must demand better projects, real transparency, local input. But we have to do it without walking into somebody else's trap. Those two things are not the same. More in a minute. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. We're just a few months out from the midterms now, and, you know, I know the results from that might be not, maybe not what we want. Could be. I mean, it is really. To me, this is a coin toss at this point. It seemed really bad, and now it might seem like maybe the country wakes up through some of this stuff. I don't know. It's important to realize that change can happen and it can happen for the better. And that kind of change comes from you and me. If you are in a fight against leftism and you want the Republic, you want the Constitution and the Declaration to rule supreme, then we have to do everything we can. And one of those things you can do is change your mobile phone carrier. These giant mobile phone companies, they are giving, giving all kinds of money to causes that you would never, ever give to. Patriot Mobile has dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks without giving all that money so they can give it to leftist causes.

There's so much going on@torch250.com that you just engage with your family. You're going to learn all kinds of stuff. You'll be entertained all through the summer with good, wholesome stuff that actually teaches your children some values and principles. I have to tell you, I cannot. I am not a soccer fan. I don't really care about the world Cup. But I have to tell you, I want to be in some of these stadiums. What is happening in the stadiums? The one with Australia in the US where they were, you know, singing, you know, take me home, country roads, and the whole stadium just broke out. I mean, it was amazing. And then at the end, they get together, the US Team goes out in the center of the field and they start to pray. Unbelievable. Just great messages coming out of soccer this, this summer here at the FIFA World cup in the United States. It's really amazing. I want to introduce you to a new friend of mine, Bishop Kaidoer. He is one of, I think, seven pastors, priests, rabbis, that will actually stand up in the churches and in the pulpit and stand up and say, we're in trouble. Return back to basic principles. We're in trouble. And he wrote a really great thing about Britain is not the exception. Britain is the warning. And he was talking about the, you know, the situation there with what's going on with the grooming games. He said, grooming gangs. America should not view Britain as a foreign country. America should view Britain as a glimpse into a possible future. The forces reshaping Britain are not uniquely British. They are Western. The same institutional pressures, cultural assumptions and political fears exist on both sides of the Atlantic. This is not a fundamental. This is not fundamentally an immigration story. This is a story about institutional cowardice. Everybody knew. Every civilization survives or falls on its willingness to tell the truth. Britain's institutions increasingly chose comfort over the truth. This is not a failure. Failure is when you don't know. This is a betrayal. Betrayal is when you know and you do nothing. He's a powerful, powerful bishop and a powerful voice, and I welcome him to the program. Bishop, how are you, sir?
- [34:35]
C
I'm good, Glenn. Good to be with you. Nice to see you again.
- [34:38]
A
Yeah, good to see you. Good to see you. First, can I start with the news of the day? Starmer is leaving. I don't know what the breaking point was there. There's been so many that have been missed. What does this mean?
- [34:55]
C
Well, it means that one, when you and I were together in London on the 16th of May, what I said about Keir Starmer's days being numbered came true. And secondly, it means that this country is about to get an even worse prime minister than the one we're kicking out if Andy Burnham becomes the next prime minister. Because nobody talks about the fact Andy Burnham was mayor of Greater Manchester and was actively involved in covering up the grooming gang scandal. So it's, you know, it's One mess to another. The frying pan to the fire is the old analogy we use here.
- [35:34]
A
How is that possible? How's it possible that he's the guy?
- [35:41]
C
Because labor, like they were with Starmer six years ago, have gone. He's our only option. And what we'll witness sometime between now and September is a coronation of the man they used to call the King of the north, who is absolutely despised in the south. And labor, go ahead and push this agenda even further. You know, there's an organization in the Manchester area called mend. They are Islamist supporters. And this is a man. This is an organization that Andy Burnham as mayor of, of Greater Manchester and the Greater Manchester governing body used to do speaking tours with. You know, they used, they did public events together. So I expect nothing to change. What I'm expecting is this country is going to get far worse for the next three years.
- [36:32]
A
Oh my gosh. I mean, I don't know how much more you have left in you. I mean, it's really bad.
- [36:41]
C
I believe we're on the verge of another Cromwellian level event in the United Kingdom.
- [36:49]
A
Explain what that means to Americans.
- [36:51]

So we had a huge civil war started by the fact that Oliver Cromwell and King Charles I came to blows over the rule of Parliament. And Charles I still pushed for that supreme power of the monarch. Oliver Cromwell and his associates pushed for the sovereignty of Parliament and ultimately they convicted the king of treason and beheaded him. That moment for us as a constitutional monarchy was a very, very dark moment in our history because the country went through years of civil war between the king's forces and the people's army under General Cromwell. And ultimately Cromwell himself became a dictator when he took over Parliament. So we're on that precipice. You can feel it's palpable in this country that civil war is not just foreseeable. You know, we've got high ranking retired military officers now talking about civil war is now inevitable in the United Kingdom. And if it happens, it's going to be fought largely on a sectarian principle because I think the greatest pushback is going to be, you know, British citizens of every faith fighting against this Islamic agenda and a well armed, well equipped Islamic force that seems to be being prepared. I've just, just whilst I was waiting to come come on the show now, I've just found out a what used to be a holiday camp is now being prepared to have another 3,000 illegal immigrants put into it. And it's being kitted out to look like an army barracks. Three weeks ago, I was on the streets of Liverpool with an organization called the Liverpool Guardians. And I saw for myself. Even now with the grooming gang scandals going on, there are still gangs of Islamic males patrolling the streets of Liverpool looking for victims to sexually abuse and do rape and using taxis and shops that sell these, you know, these vape cigarette things and all of this lot to actually perpetrate this agenda because they believe it is their religious right.

You say sectarian, but you're. I mean, no offense. You know this Bishop. Your churches are dead. I mean, they're not. The. The king at the head of the church is King Charles, not Christ the King. I mean, you. You told me yourself when we met, I was stunned by this. There's seven of you that are willing to speak out in the entire kingdom. There's seven of you.

Well, thanks to that day that we met, that number is now starting to grow. But there are. You're right. There are only seven of us that have stuck our head above the parapets. The church has turned on us. Half of society has turned on us. I've had multiple hit pieces done in the state media and the press in the United Kingdom. I'm called Britain's far right bishop. I'm Islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic, Every phobic under the sun. You know, I'm. Apparently, I'm the most dangerous man in Christianity in the Western world. I'm certainly divisive man in the Christian.

Well, I mean, they did me a huge favor because they put my name in every house in this country. The other side of that is, of course, that I have to deal with the fact that I live under three active fatwas. I have to have security in certain events that I do now with church and conferences. I've had no income at all since October 2024. I've had one unsuccessful attempt on my life already. This is the reality of what we're dealing with. Yet I'm undeterred because, as you know, with what's coming up in the midterms in the US we are fighting not just for a political environment, we're fighting for the very soul of a nation.

I hope more people are understanding what you just said. We are. Thank God we are not close to a civil war. I mean, we could quickly, but we're. We're not there. And even for saying that in your country, I mean, you know, you. I hate to say this to you, but you know this. You probably have jail time ahead of you for even saying that. If Things got into a civil war situation. What, what, what does that actually look like? Civil war in Great Britain in 20, 27, 26.

If we get to that point, you will see the mass number of patriots in this country that are deeply concerned about the direction this country is going. The fact that this country is losing its identity, is losing its heritage and that is being deliberately replaced and deliberately targeted, suddenly begin to rise up. And the driving force that so many people talk about here is why are the vast majority, some 98% of the illegal immigrants coming into the country, all of Islamic, all from particular Islamic countries, and every single one of them is a fighting age male? The number of females and children coming into the country, if you're talking about claiming asylum, it's a point of a percentage in comparison to the rest of the people that are coming. And then we have idiots in this country, and I'm not careful in my language, as you know, Glenn, but we have idiots like Liverpool that declares the city or the region, I should say a sanctuary city. And now they have more than 2,500 illegal immigrants pouring in per day. So the number of sexual assaults has gone up astronomically. When I was there a few weeks ago, sexual assaults is still around 580 per month taking place. Oh, my gosh. The police claim that only 85 to 90% of sexual assaults actually get recorded. So if you think, if it's, let's say, let's be generous and say it's 10% and 580 are being recorded with the police, that's close to 6,000 sexual assaults and rapes taking place every month just in one city. So this whole thing that Rupert Lowe's rape gang inquiry exposed has not gone away at all. And the government, the local councils, the institutions are still active in helping cover it up. Because it's far easier than to act like it doesn't exist or let's not talk about it, than it is to be called a racist. Because we've had decades where we've been told that saying anything about radicalized Islam, which is Islam in general, is a racist. And I am forever beating my head against the rocks when I cry aloud and spare not, as the scripture says, that Islam is an ideological religion, it is not a race. So it is not racist to criticize it, it is not racist to go against what they are trying to do with Islam. And fundamentally in the uk, which should be a warning shot, the flare in the sky, so to speak, for America is the ultimate goal, is a replacement of your laws and your institutions. With Sharia law.

What, what, what can the people of America do to save ourselves that you guys didn't do? Because we are behind you. Not very far, but we are behind you. What are the things that we should be doing right now and what are the things that we can do to help you? I mean, I'm really concerned, Bishop, about. I was over with Tommy and you, and I said to you, you know, you guys don't have a Martin Luther King example, and unless the church is leading this, you're going to get violence. You have to. Before the heart of the Christian is completely closed, you have to appeal and be able to take the blows to the head and never, ever strike back. That's the only way this will break through. And, you know, there's no Christians. I mean, there's you. I mean, the Christians have got to get involved in this over in England. So how can we help you and what should we be doing that you made the mistake and we're about to.

My take on the answer to that, Glenn, is quite unique because my number one cry to, to the whole of America would be to simply say to look at where we are and see where you could be heading. And whatever you do with everything in you, do not let the Republic fail. Because if free speech, if freedom of religion, if everything that America has built over the last 250 years, the freedoms that the Western world are currently enjoying and hang onto by the skin of our teeth because of the beacon that is the United States, if the Republic fails, the Western world is lost. And for everybody listening, you need to understand our salvation. Europe is once again looking to America as its salvation, politically and economically, because we cannot trust our own governments, we cannot trust our own institutions. This year is the most critical year in your electoral history because this midterm will determine whether or not the Republic remains. And if you lose the republic, like I said, the Western world, certainly Western Europe, is gone. When free speech goes silent in America, it dies in Europe when liberty is restrained in America. We are borderline communism in Western Europe. And what we have been through in Britain is because people refused to actually stand up. They refused to push back against the media narrative, against the leftist liberal agenda, against the globalists that are trying to, to force the whole of Europe and ultimately the whole world to bow down to their, their wicked and evil agenda. And I would say the biggest thing you can do to help us fight with everything, you've got to stay free.
