Episode Overview

This episode of The Glenn Beck Program features a robust discussion of current political and cultural issues in America and the West, with a special focus on the erosion of national identity, the meaning of constitutional rights, and dire warnings from across the Atlantic through guest Ceirion Dewar (Bishop Dewar). Glenn tackles the Fourth of July's eroding significance, immigration, the dangers of big government, threats to free speech, and the importance of American exceptionalism—all delivered in his unvarnished, at times acerbic, style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fourth of July Rejection and Civic Identity ([01:19]–[02:59], [14:48]–[16:36])

• Glenn laments that around 34% of Americans reportedly reject celebrating the Fourth of July, a sign of fractured national identity.
• He references municipalities, like New York, canceling holiday events, connecting this to broader cultural disengagement and resistance to American traditions.

Quote:
"I don't really give a flying crap. You go ahead, New York, you do your thing. You live without the United States of America. Go for it. But I am tired of seeing everybody say, well, we're just not going to do it." (D, [02:59])

2. Supreme Court Immigration Rulings and Misunderstandings ([02:59]–[14:48])

• Beck discusses the Supreme Court’s decision reinforcing that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is, in fact, temporary and that asylum must be claimed within U.S. borders.
• Critiques progressives’ reactions to unfavorable court decisions, comparing their selective adherence to the rule of law.
• Highlights Justice Sotomayor’s dissent, referencing historic events like the St. Louis ship, and argues against comparing current immigration enforcement to the Holocaust.

Quote:
"They have forgotten what the word temporary means. Apparently. It means you can be here forever. No, no. And the Supreme Court just ruled. No, there is the word temporary in that." (D, [02:59])
"I'd like to know how exactly you're going to face a gas chamber in Haiti. Help me out on that one." (D, [13:25])

3. The Utah Fireworks Ban: Not a 'War on America' ([16:36]–[23:59])

• Beck addresses criticism of Utah’s governor (Governor Cox) for banning fireworks due to wildfire risk, distinguishing practical governance from ideological attacks on American traditions.
• Provides context about wildfire dangers in the West, counters accusations that such bans are ‘un-American’ or anti-Fourth-of-July.

Quote:
"You don't call him a communist for coming out and saying that he's going to stop fireworks... These are not small fires. Utah has burned more than 141,000 acres just this season." (D, [16:36])

4. Islamist Influence and Dismissive Podcasting ([23:59]–[30:39])

• Responds to unnamed podcasters downplaying threats of Islamist infiltration in America.
• References his own investigative special, “The Jihad from Within,” and asserts documentary and court evidence exists for coordinated Islamist agendas.

Quote:
"Can I ask you what the hell is happening? You have any idea what's happening to some of these podcasters? What is happening? I can't because I can't figure it out." (D, [25:07])
"There is a real problem. And you know what it is? It's not the United States of America. We have done some horrible, horrible things. We have. But name the country that hasn't." (D, [30:01])

5. Freedom, Rights, and Americana: Founding Ideals ([30:39]–[35:04])

• Glenn differentiates between voluntary, faith-based charity (tithing, consecration) and compulsory government redistribution (taxation, socialism, communism).
• Argues that the nation’s strength lies in individuals’ changed hearts and voluntary action, not government force.

Quote:
"God wants 10%, but I want 39.4% in income tax. Because you should recognize what this government has done for you. God only takes 10%, but we want 40%. Okay?" (D, [29:44])

6. Bishop Ceirion Dewar Interview: Europe’s Speech Crisis ([31:45]–[42:41])

• Dewar, one of only six preachers in England outspoken on cultural and political issues, contrasts U.S. and U.K. constitutional traditions:
  • The U.S. enshrines rights as coming from God; Britain’s rights are dispensed by government.
  • The erosion of Magna Carta, the rise of state-controlled speech, and criminalization of thought (“thought police”).
  • Examples: Arrests for online speech, suppression of dissent, even criminalizing silent prayer in certain zones.
• Dewar forewarns Americans: Britons were convinced “it will never happen here”—now they endure drastic government overreach, climate zealotry, surveillance, and speech suppression.

Quote:
"America is the most incredible nation on the face of the planet because it is the only nation that from its very inception... you're built on the belief that rights come from God." (F, [32:32])
"Now in the United Kingdom, Magna Carta no longer exists. We're not governed by the principles of common law anymore... we've had people imprisoned for things they've posted on X, on Facebook." (F, [32:59])

7. The UK’s Political & Moral Crisis ([42:41]–[46:18])

• Dewar discusses the likely “coronation” of the new British Prime Minister, installed without a referendum despite public resistance to EU reentry.
• Details the state cover-up of massive child abuse (“grooming gangs”), implicating officials and institutions in silencing victims.
• Beck concludes that, despite America’s faults, its structure and mission are unique and vital for Western liberty.

Quote:
"He was actively involved both previously in his part in Parliament and then as Greater Manchester mayor in covering up this grooming gang scandals in denying that they were taking place... every major institution of state has been involved." (F, [43:53])

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• On Language and Definitions:
  "Maybe all they need is a dictionary. They can look up what the word temporary means. They can look up the word terrorist, and they can look up the word protest." – Glenn Beck (D, [11:57])

• On American Mission:
  "The whole idea of the United States of America is that it's a mission. It's a challenge to be a more perfect nation." – Glenn Beck (D, [29:57])

• From Bishop Dewar:
  "Conscience in Europe is governed by the state. Conscience in America... is governed by the morality of God and the conscience of the individual." (F, [35:19])

Summary Tone & Takeaways

• Tone: Candid, impassioned, and provocative, mixing satire with earnest warning.
• Core Message: America’s constitutional protections and traditions are rare and under threat; the erosion of cultural and civic identity leads to authoritarianism—witnessed firsthand in today's Britain. The U.S. must remember its mission, defend its liberties, and resist the drift toward collectivist or bureaucratic overreach.
• Final Word: The rest of the West looks to America for leadership on individual rights and government restraint. Its decline or abandonment of principle has dire ramifications for freedom everywhere.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

[D]

I saw somebody. I saw something in at Fox today and I, I don't, I don't. Maybe I misunderstood it. I don't know. But, you know, there is a real problem with a third of the country. 34%, I think, doesn't want to celebrate Fourth of July. And they don't find they. They reject Fourth of July. 34. That's a real problem. That's a real problem. And there are cities now that are canceling fourth of July things. Mamdani is one of them. Mamdani. Can we play the Mamdani audio? Here's the latest from Mamdani. You tell me what this means.

[E]

We saw today the Supreme Court make a decision that is putting so many people's lives in jeopardy. And I just came back from a rally with 1199 as I stood alongside a number of Haitian New Yorkers who are concerned about what this means for their status in our city. And frankly, this city, the one that we love, is one that has been built by so many from so many different parts of the world. And that includes our Haitian brothers and sisters, our Syrian brothers and sisters. And we stand here ready to be in solidarity with all of those who are concerned by today's decision. And beyond just language of solidarity, actions of solidarity. Now, what that means when it comes to our city is if you are worried about what this means for your status, if you're worried about what this means for your family, I would encourage you to call our mayor's Office of Immigrant affairs hotline.

[D]

I'll tell you what that means. What does that mean? What is the mayor's hotline going to do? There is a ruling from the Supreme Court. Notice, when the Supreme Court goes on their side, you absolutely must positively follow it. But if it doesn't go their way, well, then they have all kinds of NGOs that come out of the woodwork to subvert. Is the. Is New York part of the United States or not? Because I, I'm fine with it. Cut it off. I'm fine. Not A tax, not one federal dollar goes to New York City. I am, I am. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. I don't really give a flying crap. You go ahead, New York, you do your thing. You live without the United States of America. Go for it. But I am tired of seeing everybody say, well, we're just not going to do it. We're not going to do it. We're not going to do it. Okay, well, let's make that case. Let's make that case. I want to hear your case and I want it based in the Constitution of the United States of America. What he's talking about is temporary status. Temporary status. So you can come here if you say, oh, I'm used and abused by my country. I need, I need relief. I need, I need protection. Okay. While we investigate. Temporary status. They have forgotten what the word temporary means. Apparently. It means you can be here forever. No, no. And the Supreme Court just ruled. No, there is the word temporary in that. So temporary means. I don't know how to explain it other than saying it's temporary. But he can just have his own little, I don't know, independent city, state. I, I don't know. With its own foreign policy and immigration policy and economic policy, it can, it can do all of it itself. You not recognize the legitimacy of the federal government or even the United States? I've never seen a flag behind him. Have you ever seen it? Well, I, I'm sorry. Well, let me take that back. I just saw flag. I just saw a rainbow flag behind him. Just saw a rainbow flag behind him. So he's got that flag you want to talk about. You know, Donald Trump is trying to clean the fountains up. He's trying to wash the marble from all the urine and the spray paint and everything else the left has done to it. He's cleaning it up. And they say that he's denigrating things. He's denigrating the White House. Okay, let's see here. He's denigrating the White House because. Well, why? Oh, he had a fight in the backyard of the White House. Okay, all right, well, let me just go with you on that. Okay. Shouldn't be done. And then you have every trans person shaking their half naked ass in the office of the mayor of New York. And that's not denigrating anything. If you want to say a fight. Is denigrating something so sacred, you might want to say, I don't know, strip shows with children in the office of the mayor of New York. Might also be denigration. Maybe it's just me. Temporary. Temporary denigration, I think. I mean, I don't know what Donald Trump meant by this. Kind of makes me feel good, though. Yesterday he tweeted on Truth Social, the communists are finally making their move. I've been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. What the hell does that mean? I mean, that makes me happy. I've been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. It's easy to be communist. All you have to do is say, I'll give you everything, but that means you're taking it away from others who have earned it over thousands of years. This ideology has not worked once. The game is on. Listen to this. The game is on. Enjoy watching President Donald J. Trump. What the hell does enjoy? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited to watch, but what does that mean? What does he have up his sleeve? At least somebody's at least talking about it, recognizing it, other than you and me. You know how many people are just dead asleep right now? Country is just burning down with socialists and anarchists are literally burning, burning it down to the ground, going into our national monuments and vandalizing them and then complaining when they're arrested, going in and shooting ICE agents and then shooting in the neck. And then when arrested and sentenced to 100 years for terrorism, complaining and saying, you can't do that. This is, this is a protest. With a gun, shooting him, then that's not a protest. You have a. I need to get you a dick. That's. You know that. That's what we need to do. Maybe all they need is a dictionary. They can look up what the word temporary means. They can look up the word terrorist, and they can look up the word protest. Because maybe there, maybe this is just so simple. They having. Having a problem with definitions. Why? Because their beloved labor union racket hasn't taught anybody how to read, how to write? Maybe, maybe people just don't know the definition of words. That just comes out temporary and they don't know what it means. What does that mean? Means permanent. No, see, no, it doesn't. I'm gonna get you a book. Not one of them Bibles. No, I'll get you one of those later. But to read one of those, you need to understand what words mean. I can't wait. Communists are finally making their move. I've been waiting and preparing this for a long time. Game is on. Enjoy watching. Okay. Okay. Supreme Court yesterday came out and ruled on all of this. And you Know the T in tps, they. I don't know what that means. So Momdani is threatening to open, you know, rebellion. Then the supreme court also ruled the government can legally limit the number of asylum seekers processed at U.S. ports of entry each day and then turn them away to wait in Mexico. What they said is, if you're standing on the Mexican side of the border, you haven't legally arrived in the United States, so you can't claim asylum because you're on the other side of the border. Yeah, I'm in Mexico. I'm claiming asylum in the United States. You're in Mexico. You can't do that. Yes, they can. They got here. No, again, do you know what the definition of here is? Because they're not here. They're there. So Biden just changed the definition of here to there. And so they're like, well, no, all of these people claimed asylum. Yep. But they were in Mexico. And so that's not the way it works. And who was it? Was it Alito? Alito comes out and is like, no. If somebody's on your porch and you open the door, they're not in your house. You haven't invited them in. So they can't say, well, you invited me in. No, you're on my porch. I open the door to answer the door. You're not in my house. But that is too. That's too complex, too complex for Sotomayor. So Sotomayor, she's. She delivers her dissent and she opens from something. On page 29 of her 35 page opinion, she talks about the Ms. St. Louis. Now, this is a ship that is a passion of mine. 1939 has 900 Jewish refugees coming from Germany. If they go back, they're going to go into death camps and be killed. And everybody knows it. And the beloved progressive FDR turns them away. They arrive in Cuba. Cuba turns them away. They go to. I think it was Miami. Miami turns them away, goes to the supreme court. They won't hear anything of it. And we just turn them away. Okay. 250 of them died in the ovens. So now we have international law that says you. You. If you're. If you need asylum, countries can't block. You can't physically block asylum seekers.

[F]

Okay.

[D]

She's saying this has turned the ships back.

[F]

Is it?

[D]

I. Because I'd like to know. I'd like to know how exactly you're going to face a gas chamber in Haiti. Help me out on that one. I'd like to know. I mean, I could. I could Understand you wanting to get away there from there because your government sucks. I get that. And did the United States have something to do with it? Yeah. The progressives, Clintons. The Clinton progressives had a lot to do with how much it sucks in Haiti. But that's not the Holocaust, Sotomayor. It's not. And they're not in our house, so, no. You could claim asylum in Mexico. Why doesn't Mexico take them? Mexico seems to care a lot. Why doesn't Mexico help them out? Why is it only the United States? Back in a minute. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. American Quality. Those two words still mean something to me, and I know they mean something to you as well. It's one of the reasons I love American Giant. They're a company that doesn't just think about what they can do.

[B]

They.

[D]

They think about what they should do. When you buy American Giant clothing, you're investing in American manufacturing and in American workers. You're not just buying clothing. You're investing in the process that can help save our country. We need to get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing. And American Giant is doing their part. All of their clothing is 100% American. The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, all American. And with that comes American quality. You can buy cheaper, and you'll get cheaper quality, or you can buy quality that will last for generations. There's an American Giant in all of us. Find yours.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to some people that might be a little misguided on something, because I read a story today about how, you know, there's. There's people that are canceling the 4th of July. Mom, Donnie is canceling the 4th of July festivities in New York, and it's happening all over the country. And that's a real problem. That is a real, real problem. But a governor came out yesterday, and some people are confusing, and I'm not a fan of this governor at all. It's Governor Cox of Utah. Not a fan. But he came out yesterday and he said, we're gonna. We're gonna ban. We're gonna ban fireworks, okay? And people are making this into. See, I told you. This is a. He's the mastermind behind, you know, destroying America. No, no, he's not Canceling the Fourth. He's not canceling the country.

[B]

He.

[D]

You know, it's not a war on America, you know, with a bottle rocket. He's the governor and a Republican. And I guess the line that set everybody off was, this is not big government. This is life or death stuff. Because he came out and said. And people are saying, well, that's just big government getting involved. No, no, no, no. No, it's not. No, it's not. I don't live in Idaho. I mean, I don't live in Utah. I live in Idaho. And I don't know, I'm 30 minutes away from the border of Utah. And you go outside of my house today, and it looks like it's foggy, and then you breathe in and you're like, that's smoke. Because there's a fire in Utah, six hours away. If you're living in Connecticut. Now imagine you can drive 80 miles an hour, and you're not stop and go traffic. You're driving 80 miles an hour, and you could drive 80 miles an hour for six hours in the East. What state are you in? If you're living in Connecticut, what state are you in? You're at least in Virginia. That's. That's how far this fire is. And I have the smoke up at my house. Okay. Kind of a big deal. Kind of a big deal. Six hours away. Six hours in the west is still kind of close to home. You know what I mean? My daughter was doing something. We drove six hours to see her in a couple of shows for a couple of weekends in a row. And I was like, yeah, it's, you know, since St. George. And they're like, oh, that's not. That's. That's not that bad. And I'm like, it's six hours each way out west. It's not like that in Connecticut. You have to understand, in Connecticut or in Washington, D.C. it's so hot and humid, and it kind of works for you. You know, you can light a match in a forest in Connecticut in July, and it will land in the moss and then kind of apologize. I'm sorry. I don't even know what I was thinking here. This part of the country, you know, you see it every year in California, the fires that happen here, because it gets so hot and dry out here, you know, it's. I mean, a spark doesn't start a campfire here. It starts a chapter in the history books. We had a train in Iowa. I mean, in Idaho just last week, I think it was that the one of the wheels was sparking as it was going down. And I'm sure that happens all the time, but for like three miles before they stopped the train, it was setting the sides of the train tracks on fire. And so they had. They had water trucks everywhere to stop this. They thank God. But these are not small fires. Utah has burned more than 141,000 acres just this season. To give you some perspective that, on June 17, that number was 13,000. Now it's 141,000. The iron fire or the. Yeah, the iron fire, which just happened. One of the blaze. 3,30,000 acres before they could put it out. And you have no idea how big this forest land is. I mean, think about the state of Utah. This is just one of these states. They're all like this out west. The state of Utah, 64% of it, the entire state, 64% of it is owned by the federal government. And they're really not good caretakers of the land. Okay? They're really not. So 64% is. Is federal land. So those are forests. Now, how big is that? You could take the whole state of Rhode island and drop it into just the federal land of this one state 35 times. You prefer Delaware, a little bigger state, 22 times. How about this? New Jersey with the turnpike, the shore. Springsteen. Well, maybe we leave Springsteen out of it. All of it. You could take six New Jerseys and just put it in the federal forest land here. So there's a lot to burn. And so when a governor says no fireworks for Fourth of July and you were having a record drought, Please, I don't like the guy, but there's a lot of stuff that's real that you, You. You can stand on and go, I don't like him for these reasons. You don't call him a communist for coming out and saying that he's going to stop fireworks. And by the way, he's not stop. He's not stopping the big fireworks shows, you know, in the stadiums and everything else. Those guys, you want to do that, that's fine, because they're prepared. He's talking about people, you know, the iron fire, I believe, started with illegal fireworks. Somebody going out into the forest and going, let's do fireworks out in the forest, dummies. That's the problem. That's the problem again. We. We are all so eager to condemn. And. And I get it, man. I got in this morning. I was so pissed off. I'm just reading about all these things that are. I can't take the. What do you call it the reflecting pool or pond anymore. I can't take that argument. I can't. What is wrong with people? We've all gone insane. We're at our 250th anniversary. What are we turning into? Well, I know what we're turning into to. We're turning into a country that is not the United States of America because there's a lot of people that don't want it. And that's fine. You know, you don't want it, that's fine. Whatever I do. And I'll stand up and I'll fight for it. I'll absolutely fight for it. And I'll fight for it now while it's easier to fight than leave it to my children, because by the time our children are in charge of, you know how hard it is to fight this, you know what it's going to be like to fight Islam. By the way, I heard a podcaster, which will remain nameless, say that there was never any problem, there's never any coordinated problem with Islamists trying to take over America, trying to stop it, stop it. I don't know. Are you a CIA plant? What is this? What is going on with some of our podcasters? What is going on? I have the documents to prove it. We just did a whole special on it. You didn't. Ricky, what was the name of our special that we did?

[B]

The Jihad from Within and get it now on YouTube. Band torch.

[D]

You are kind of a stickler on making sure we have the facts.

[F]

Were there any.

[D]

Were there any documents or anything that proved that there was a Islamist plan to take over and destroy America? Any document, Any documents?

[B]

Yeah, Jason and Ryan Morrow brought up a lot of documents and clips that have them on record in their own writing stats stating that they've had a

[D]

long video to take it over.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah, Jason, Yeah, yeah. Court documents. That won't be enough for them, but straight up court documents directly from the FBI and doj. But again, that. That still won't be enough for some. It's ridiculous. Uh huh huh huh. Can I ask you what the hell is happening? You have any idea what's happening to some of these podcasters? What is happening? I can't because I can't figure it out. I mean, nobody wants to say.

[B]

Nobody wants to say, is this the day? It is Friday. I mean, people have a lot of theories and yeah, without asking them in person, one can really know someone's heart and mind. There's speculation of clickbait chasing. There's speculation of, you know, being Paid off. But we don't have evidence of that. So if you want to text your old buddies. No. Okay.

[D]

No, no. I think I, I think I know enough that, you know, there, there's, there's no explanation for this that makes me feel better other than I got off my medication. That's the only thing. I got off my medication. I'm legally insane right now, but the doctors are medicating me and I'm getting, I'm getting better. That's the only thing I can, I can, I can accept. And I know that's not the case. Well, at least with one of them, that's not the case. And, and so, right. You know, you give me any explanation and I'm sorry, you're just wrong. You're just wrong. And as they like to say, and I know it, I can prove it. I, I mean, we, we all know it. Right? I mean, right? We all know it. Yes, I do. And I don't have to say, I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it myself. I could say, let me show it to you. I have the documents. I have it on video. Yeah, there is a problem. There is a real problem. And you know what it is? It's not the United States of America. It's not. We have done some horrible, horrible things. We have. But name the country that hasn't. And if you say Qatar, I'm going to lose my mind. Name the country that hasn't done horrible, horrible things. The whole idea of the United States of America is that it's a mission. It's a mission. It's a challenge to be a more perfect nation. And how do we do that? By striving to put into action the words. We hold these truths to be self evident. You know what? The founders got it wrong. It's not self evident. It's not. It was in their day. Do you know why? Because the pulpits weren't dead. That's why it was self evident. The pulpits were still alive. They still had fire in them. They were still preaching the truth. They weren't like, well, we got to love everyone and yes, that man is really a beautiful woman. No, no, there's eternal truths and those eternal truths lead you to the self. Then self evident truths that all men are created equal. That doesn't mean they all have equal outcomes like all the communists and socialists want you to believe. Now that's ridiculous. You know, there's a couple of laws, there's the law of tithing, which that's God Saying, hey, I would like you just to give me 10% of your labor. Give me 10% of your labor. Give me 10% of what you earn, your increase. Give me 10% of your increase because it shows me that you love me. You understand that all of this is a gift to you. And so I'm asking you to plow that back in to make this a better place in my name. Give me 10% tithing, okay? And there's no real definition of that. He allows you to define it. Just be honest with God, because you know he knows when you're lying. So there's that law. It's not enforced. It's not enforced. Then there's the law of consecration, where he's like, and when we're really good, when we. What we really should be striving for is all of us just helping each other and money and title and all that stuff doesn't make. It doesn't mean anything. And we have had our pilgrims tried that. We would call it socialism now. Pilgrims have tried that. This has been tried over and over again by deeply religious people because it is a commandment of God to live the law of consecration. But man can't live that. It's milk before meat. We're not even living the law of consecration. Now look at how man has perverted that. Man has perverted that into. God wants 10%, but I want 39.4% in income tax. Because you should recognize what this government has done for you. God only takes 10%, but we want 40%. Okay? Really? And that one, unlike God's law, is enforced by the barrel of a gun. And then their law of consecration, oh, you get government big enough, they'll do the law of consecration. That's called communism and socialism. And again, barrel of the gun. That's why none of this works unless you change your heart. When you change people's hearts, they want to do these things.

[F]

That's.

[D]

That's how you build a more perfect nation, by returning to the eternal principles of God. Back in just a second. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Bishop Kaidure is with us. He was on earlier this week. And I wanted to invite. To come back because there is a fundamental difference between America and Europe, America and England. And, you know, everybody thinks they have freedom of speech, but we're the. We have something unique here. And I could tell you about it, but I would rather have a foreigner tell you about it, because he's one of the guys who was talking to me about you Know, America, we need you. We need you. We need you guys to. We're wake up and. And stand strong because you guys go, we all go. And it's absolutely true. Bish, welcome to the program.

[F]

Glenn, good to be back, and thanks for having me on twice in a week.

[D]

Well, I, you know, honestly, you just sound so good with your accent. I could say these same, same things, and people will listen to you because you sound smart, so.

[F]

Well, I greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

[D]

Yeah, no, you're great. And you're. You're one of. You're really, truly a remarkable man. You're. In my book, there are very few heroes, and you're one of them. You're one of six preachers in. In England that is actually standing up and speaking out about this, and that takes a lot of courage because you guys really don't have freedom of speech. Can you. Can you explain the difference between what we have and what you have?

[F]

I most certainly will. Many people think that because we are Great Britain, the mother of all parliaments, you know, the. The mother of democracy in. In the current world, that we exist, that Britain has freedom of speech. We don't. We have speech that is given to us by government. America is the most incredible nation on the face of the planet because it is the only nation that from its very inception and its foundation, you're built on the belief that rights come from God. The whole of Europe, continental Europe, has increasingly been built on the. On the behavior that rights come through the state. You have Founding Fathers who really understood that man is created in the image and in the likeness of God. And the inalienable rights that are written into your Bill of Rights, written into your Constitution, are there for a reason. And that it was the Founding Fathers that realized, because those rights come from God, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, is needed to ensure that government does not have the right to remove those rights from you. We don't have that in Central Europe. We don't have that in the United Kingdom. People talk about, you know, freedom of speech because of Magna Carta, our government have made so many laws. Now in the United Kingdom, Magna Carta no longer exists. We're not governed by the principles of common law anymore. So this is why, if people do their research, you see, we've had people imprisoned for three, four, five years for things they've posted on X, for things they've posted on Facebook. Because our speech is given to us by the state. It is governed by the state. It is not recognized as an inalienable right given to us by God. And that is the most incredible thing that the Founding Fathers got right. And because of that, we in the west look to America because I think back to what Reagan said, you don't need more government. You need smaller government because more government means more people trying to take those rights from you, trying to reshape those rights, suffocate those rights, strip you of them. And that is exactly what you're listening to.

Conscience in Europe is governed by the state. Conscience in America because of your Constitution and your Bill of Rights is governed by the morality of God and the conscience of the individual. And that is enshrined in the very foundation.

[C]

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

[F]

Our not just the cousin across the as our strength and our shield. A good scriptural verse from the the third Psalm, they help us.

[C]

This is the best of the Glenn Beck programs.

[F]

If those liberties are taken away from you or they restricted in an unconstitutional

[C]

manner, this is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

[D]

Let me ask you this something else. I don't think I got to be really careful.

[C]

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program, but I'm seeing videos

[D]

coming out of police showing up houses in England.

[C]

And you're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

[D]

Air conditioning. You're having the heat wave.

[C]

[F]

It happens. Back to what I was just saying, that the state feels it has the right to govern every aspect of people's life. And you have a president who's very anti the globalist green agenda. We have a government that has appointed a climate minister who's an absolutely religious zealot, a nutcase in devotion to this false narrative of climate change and green agenda and net zero. So we're going through what I call Texas temperatures at the moment because it's like 40 degrees centigrade. That's 110 plus Fahrenheit for us in Britain. That's astronomical. We don't have temperatures like that. And as you said, police are turning up and telling people you either remove your air conditioners or will arrest you. I'm seeing all manner of things that are being done, not just in England, in Wales as well Because Wales has a, where I live, which is, you know, part of the four nations of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Wales has a secondary parliament with even more zealous individuals pursuing the climate agenda. So we have a secondary tier of restrictions of what we can and can't do, what we can and can't use. It is, it is. This is what happens when government becomes too big and government thinks it has the right to govern every aspect of the life of the individuals and the citizens living in the nation. And this is something, I keep saying it, America needs to look at Great Britain and Western Europe and see a prophecy of your future and what you will become if you allow the kind of government that is trying to creep in that will remove your freedoms and bring these kind of ridiculous policies to America. And we cannot get to the point anymore, or I should say, we cannot remain at the point of saying it will never happen to us because Britain has said that for decades. And here we are facing what we're facing now with a government.

[D]

I'm sorry, but you have people, you know, it's hard for Americans to accept it because I will tell people, England arrested 12,000 people on speech infractions, put them in jail. 12,000 people were at police knock on their door and take them out for speech infractions. In the last year or year and a half, something like that, I think China had 100, Russia had 40. It's at a scale. But you watch the BBC, you watch the news, you listen to the politicians, you watch Piers Morgan or anything else, and they all deny that any of this is happening. And so the average American is like, that's not, it's not that bad. It's not that bad. What, what are we complaining about?

[F]

Well, it, it, it's worse really when, when you think about it, we, we're leading the world in policing thought and policing speech. I mean, now there are places in the United Kingdom you can, you can get arrested for praying silently in your head if you happen to be in what they call an exclusion zone around an abortion clinic. And here's the ridiculous part of happened to live within the boundaries of an exclusion zone. In praying privately in the privacy of my own home, I could now be guilty of a criminal offense as defined by the state. This is what happens when state get thinks it has the right to control every aspect of human life. We've said for years, oh, you know, since I was a boy, we used to joke about the thought police. Now in the United Kingdom, we actually have the thought Police. We have speech that is governed by the state. They're now looking at banning social media for under 16s but it means that every adult that wants to use social media will be forced into taking some form of digital ID to prove your age, improve your eligibility to use these platforms. Our current government are doing everything they can to bring in massive legislation to restrict freedom of speech. Even on platforms like X, which is, you know, the bastion for freedom of speech around the world. They want to now fine them for non compliance with what are completely unjust and unacceptable British laws. And this is done when a government becomes so powerful that it feels it has the right to completely ignore the electorate, which is exactly where we're at here in the United Kingdom. We have a government that is, I mean we. Great Britain in 2026 is America in 1776 before the formation of your country. It's where America was that led to the Civil War. We have taxation without representation. We are the most taxed nation on the planet and our parliamentary representatives no longer represent the people that have elected them.

[D]

Well, they're talking about going back to the eu. I mean, how many times does the English have to reject the eu? And every time the politicians now they're talking about going back in again. The politicians like, can we get back into the eu? How do we do this? Because that's only the right thing to do. I mean, at some point there's a breaking point with people.

[F]

It is and the gentleman is most likely to be coronated as our new Prime Minister within the next two or three weeks. He intends to take us in without a referendum. We had to have a referendum to leave the European Union. But as I said, this government fully intends to ignore the electorate, ignore the will of 52% of the people that voted to leave the European Union and take us back in. We've had a Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who's been trying to do it by default in everything other than name to get us out of the European Union. Now we've got a guy that's even more EU ambitious than Starmer was. That will happen, take us without all of the necessary procedures and processes. This is.

[D]

So let me, let me, let me take him for, Let me take him, Let me take one minute and then I'm going to come back and I want you to talk about who this guy is and his relationship with the, the, you know, the grooming of English children and the COVID up of all of that. So the Epstein thing here in America and really over in, in England, you Got Prince Andrew kicked out of the Royal Family for his. But he's never going to pay any other price for that. People seem to care about Epstein all over the world. But the biggest scandal, and honestly I said this about the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church paid a heavy price for it. I don't think they paid enough of a price for it, but a heavy, heavy price. And everybody cared about the Catholic Church and what the priests were doing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Nobody in England except the people who are living in these towns where their kids are being raped seems to care about the, the pedophilia and the, and the rape that is going on and the destruction of a quarter of a million children. And the guy that is going to be most likely the next Prime Minister, what's his connection to all of that?

[F]

He's the, the former mayor of Greater Manchester. That's you know, one of our, our five major cities in the United Kingdom. Kind of like Mandami was in New York, to put it in an American perspective. And he was actively involved both previously in his part in Parliament and then as Greater Manchester mayor in covering up this grooming gang scandals in denying that they were taking place. And you know, you mentioned the quarter of a million victims. That's the ones that we know about. Highly likely that there's far more than that. There are Conservative estimates it could possibly be extend to over a million victims because we don't know about those that have taken their life as a result and, or those that have left the country as a result. This is the, the worst scandal in British history. And the reason nobody's talking about it is because there's this blanket denial that it's happened because of who's perpetrated it, which is predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. And because that every major institution of state has been involved from the government to the judiciary to the social services that, you know, the equivalent of child protective services in the U.S. the police, you name it, they've all been involved in covering this up.

[D]

I've got about a minute. Can you take me through how is that going? Guy going to be elected when everybody knows this?

[F]

He won't be elected. No, he won't be elected. What will happen is that they will force no other challengers to step forward and on the 9th of July he'll just be coronated as the leader of the Labour Party.

[D]

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Tell me Americans, as screwed up as we are, we're not that. Tell me that this country isn't unique and this is why? Countries like England and Europe, they depend on us. We. The world is lost without America. We must know our freedoms. We must know the responsibilities that go with those freedoms. And this is a good time at the 250th year to recognize that and learn those. Bishop Doerr, thank you so much as always. God bless you. Keep up the good fight in England. We're praying for you. God bless you. Thanks.

[F]

God bless. Bye. Bye.
