This episode features Glenn Beck’s Independence Day speech delivered from the historic USS Midway in San Diego. With a blend of storytelling, history, and candid reflection, Beck honors American sacrifice—especially those who "went first" in moments of peril. He draws parallels between pivotal moments in American military history, especially Midway and D-Day, to modern American culture and the virtues required to preserve the nation’s future: bravery, responsibility, and the power of remembrance.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Role of Mothers and History in Shaping Values

• Beck thanks “Moms for Liberty,” emphasizing the influence of mothers throughout history, both in raising generations and defending principles.
  • “Our moms are the ones who raise us. We get so much from our mothers. We learn our values and our principles from our mothers...Mothers have played a huge role in all of history and they are playing a huge role again.” — Glenn Beck [03:37]
• He shares his own journey from boredom with history to advocacy for understanding it, thanks to historian David Barton and “WallBuilders.”
  • “I love history because of David Barton...he pulled out the document and said, ‘Well, you can argue with me, but here it is in their own handwriting.’” — Glenn Beck [05:17]

2. The Turning Point: The Battle of Midway

• Beck uses a vivid story of discovery in 1859 — Midway’s obscure beginnings as islands rich with guano — to launch into its strategic importance in WWII.
• Vivid retelling of the battle’s events, highlighting the sacrifice of the first wave of American torpedo bombers, whose attack failed tactically but strategically succeeded by opening a path for the eventual victory.
  • “41 torpedo bombers...supposed to go out and take out the Japanese aircraft carriers...35 out of those 41 planes were shot out of the sky...33 of the 41 pilots of the first wave were killed, including the commanding officer.” — Glenn Beck [09:47]
  • Memorializes their willingness to “go first,” drawing out the moral that progress and victory often require someone to take the first—and most dangerous—step.
• Uses a Japanese officer’s description:
  • “He said the American dive bomber success was only made possible by the earlier martyrdom of those torpedo planes that failed to hit anything.” — Glenn Beck [12:08]
  • Beck’s lesson: “Someone always has to go first.”

3. D-Day: Personal Family Stories and the Cost of Freedom

• Marks the 82nd anniversary of D-Day with a personal story of his wife’s uncle, Leo, an Italian-American who went “first” into danger due to suspicion over his accent.
  • “He was one of the first people...on the beaches of Normandy on D Day. He told me a harrowing story of courage...Somebody has to go first.” — Glenn Beck [15:14]
• Pays tribute to the town of Bedford, Virginia, which lost a higher proportion of its men on D-Day than any other US community.
  • Shares the heartbreaking stories of the Hoback and Stevens brothers, reinforcing the personal scale of sacrifice.

4. Remembrance and Responsibility

• Beck stresses the necessity of remembering sacrifice and teaching future generations.
  • “How do we honor the men of D Day, Midway, and those like them...The first thing we have to do is remember.” — Glenn Beck [27:45]
  • Critiques current culture for “tearing down our monuments, tearing down our statues, tearing down the things that help us remember.”
  • Cites Sam Adams’ sacrifice:
    • “We all have to be content to suffer the loss of all things in this life rather than tamely surrender the public liberty.” — Glenn Beck [31:19]
• Calls for a shift from an obsession with rights to a focus on responsibilities.
  • “We talk an awful lot about rights now...It’s time to start talking about our responsibilities.” — Glenn Beck [29:44]

5. The Role of Faith and Providence

• Addresses the commonality of faith in earlier generations, noting the founders were not deists but men who saw miracles and divine action in history.
  • “God played a huge role. It kills me when people say our founders were deists...You don’t believe in miracles if you’re a deist. You only believe in miracles if you believe the truth that God is God, God is active then, now, and in the future.” — Glenn Beck [26:14]
• Beck encourages the audience to “plug in to God” rather than just technology.

6. A Call to Go First—For a Better Future

• Concludes with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, urging the audience to rededicate themselves to America’s ideals and to be willing to “go first,” writing the next hopeful chapter in American history.
  • “Let us all say someone has to go first. Let it be me as we will write a new chapter as the country that is, was, and will be again tomorrow the last great hope on earth. Thank you for coming.” — Glenn Beck [36:42]

I think about providence often these days. The idea that we're stewards of our families, our communities, our own safety. The founders understood this. It's woven into the fabric of who we are as Americans. And I want to share something with you. It's called Byrna B Y R N A. And it's changed how I think about personal protection.

[C]

Here's the thing.

[B]

Most people assume self defense is complicated, that you need training, licensing, you know, government approval. But Burna is legal in all 50 states. No permit, no background check, because your right to protect your family shouldn't require anyone's permission. The range on this is 60ft. That's not pepper spray. Distance. That's real distance. That gives you time to think, to move, to get your family safe. It's simple enough that anyone can use it. Anyone. And it's built in Fort Wayne, Indiana, right here in America, in American hands, American craftsmanship. And that matters to me. And I think it matters to you.

[C]

I'm not here to scare you.

[B]

I'm here to tell you being prepared isn't paranoia, it's love. It's what we do for the people that you do anything for. So go to Byrna by R N

a dot com Glenn I've always been told not to follow children. I want to thank the city of San Diego for giving us a time limit so I can now follow the big finale, California. It makes more sense every day, doesn't it? I would have reprint. I was, I was backstage charged furiously to edit my speech. I was like, we gotta print it again. All the printers are busy just printing up new ballots so they can count. So she. Well, hello, thank you so much for coming and thank you moms for liberty. You are really, truly amazing. I said in 2008 or 9, I was on the air and I said, you know, there's going to be two groups of people that save the world and it's going to be alcoholics. I mean recovering alcoholics, although I am pulling for the alcoholics at this point, but and mothers, because how do you argue with a mom now they've found a way to do it but not very effectively. Our moms are the ones who raise us. We get so much from our mothers. We learn our values and our principles from our mothers. None of us want to disappoint our mothers. Mothers have played a huge role in all of history and they are playing a huge role again. And Tina, thank you for you and your organization. I love history. Somebody asked me, this is probably the number one question people ask me about history. Have you always loved history? No. No. Actually, no. Bored to tears with history as a kid. I love history because of David Barton. David Barton showed me history, and when I said that can't be true, he pulled out the document and said, well, you can argue with me, but here it is in their own handwriting. And I started to learn stories of history and I started learning the men, not just memorizing the names and the dates of history. And that's what made me love American history. So, David, thank you sincerely and wall builders, for everything that you do and our. I want you to close your eyes here for just a second and I want you to imagine that you are on a ship in the Pacific. Okay. You're so creative. Wow. It's almost like it's really happening. You're on a ship in the middle of the Pacific and it's 1859, and it's endless and isolating. A little bit terrifying. And it's an expanse of blue water that just seems to go on and on and on. And you are thousands of miles in any direction away from any kind of civilization. And then suddenly you spot out on the horizon what appears to be an island. It's actually three little tiny islands. They just barely peek over the waves. There's no trees on them or anything else. It's in the middle of nowhere. This island has something moving on it. As you get closer and you realize they're birds, they're albatross, and you think, I've struck gold. That's what happened in 1859. There was Captain Middlebrook. He found he was a seal hunting captain on his vessel and he's out in the middle of nowhere and he sees the albatross on this just bleak island. And the reason why he thinks this is a great find is because it's full of crap. Bird crap. And in 1859, we were having a shortage of fertilizer. And when he found the islands, he thought, I claim it in the name of the United States of America. That's exactly what happened. And they named that island, those three islands Midway, because it was midway between California and Asia. Nobody could have known at that time that some seal hunting captain would find an island full of crap and that island would change the course of the world. But that is exactly what happened. 60 years after, nothing happened except birds pooping and removing it and putting it on our corn. After that, it's now the late 1930s. Don't I tell history in just a really very scientific way? You'll see the show on PBS soon. The late 1930s come. Nothing has happened on this island. But now growing tension is happening with the Japanese. And so we decide we need to take that two and a half square island and build airstrips on it. We need to put gun, gun boxes on it. We need to have a seaplane base there at Midway, in between Asia and California. A few months after the Japanese attack Pearl harbor, the Navy code breakers, they realize they're coming. They're coming for our bird crap. We can't let the Japanese have that. And they find out that they are attacking. They're going to take Midway from the United States. So Admiral Nimitz sent three aircraft carriers out, the only three that the US had left in the Pacific. And they was going to surprise them at Midway. So now it's 1942. It's early in the morning in June, June 4th. 108 aircraft from Japanese carriers attacked the base at Midway. Heavy damage, except on the runways. So I don't know what they killed or what they did, but they missed the runways. Good for us. Meanwhile, on our side, the carriers, the Enterprise, the Hornet, New Yorktown, send 41 torpedo bombers. What people don't realize is how good we are right now, how accurate we can be and what war used to be like. We send out 41 torpedo bombers. They are low flying, they are lumbering, and they don't have any protection. There isn't a fighter around. And they are supposed to go out and take out the Japanese aircraft carriers the night before. John Waldron, he's 41 years old, he's the commander of the Hornet Squadron. He was a Naval Academy graduate. He had two children back at home. And he said this. My greatest hope, men, is that we encounter a favorable tactical situation. But if we don't, and worse comes to worse, I want each one of us to do his utmost to destroy our enemy. If there is only one plane left to make that final run in, I want you to be that man to go in and get that hit. May God bless all of us. Good luck, happy landings, and give them hell. The next morning, they found themselves right before they Took off being served steak and eggs for breakfast. And all of the pilots looked at each other and said, we're condemned men. 35 out of those 41 planes were shot out of the sky. They all dropped their bombs. They missed everything. Some of them had enough fuel to turn around and try to get back to the aircraft carrier. Most of those had to ditch in the middle of the ocean shark infested waters. 33 of the 41 pilots of the first wave were killed, including the commanding officer. As they were then mopping up, the Japanese were mopping up what was left and we were wiped out. 47 other bombers suddenly arrived. These dive bombers had come from three other US carriers and they all left at different times and they all came at different, from different routes. You want to talk about Divine providence? Each group was on a separate mission to attack and search for those Japanese carriers. And suddenly they all came to one place and just beneath them were the Japanese carriers. At the same time, at the same point, when the battle of Midway was over, Japan had lost four aircraft carriers. 275 planes and 3,000 men, including almost all of their most experienced pilots. The Americans had lost one carrier, 132 planes and 307 men. It was the turning point in the war. We had won the Battle of Midway. One Japanese officer who saw it, he said, because they were describing this as all of these planes, remember they're these beautiful silver planes in the sky. He said it looked like a silver waterfall. He said he saw all these planes up above and suddenly they started to dive down one after another. And it was as if it was a waterfall coming down to the carriers. He said the American dive bomber success was only made possible by the earlier martyrdom of those torpedo planes that failed to hit anything. I want you to take that first story here and just remember, someone always has to go first. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

The first group of people we should remember and salute Tonight are the 41American pilots that had to ditch their plane and didn't hit anything. But they were first. Also today, June 6th, 82nd anniversary of D Day. I want to talk to you a little bit about D day. 160,000 allied troops, 5,000 ships, 13,000 aircraft, 9,000 allied troops killed or wounded on D Day. Largest operation amphibious operation in the history of the world. Nobody in my family served in World War II. My father tried to join right after World War II. He had flat feet. And then I met my wife Tanya. And her family is Italian, very Italian. And I was sitting at a wedding. I was. I was dating my wife for probably about six months. And her Uncle Leo, who is like right off the boat, Italian, used to call me Michelangelo. Every time I'd see him, he'd be at the house and I'd come over and he. I'd walk in and he'd say, michelangelo. Six months into it, I said, uncle Leo, why do you call me Michelangelo? And he said, ah, look at the her. Look at the you. I don't need to learn your name. You won't be around long. Yeah, True story. So we're at this wedding and it's me and Uncle Leo. And we're sitting off to the side and I said to Uncle Leo, uncle Leo, tell me the story of the family. How did you get here? He said, I was born in America. Lived in America till I was two, he said. Then the family moved back and they lived in Italy. And then the war came and the family, they were afraid would be completely wiped out. And so somebody had to keep the family going. And I was the only American. So I went to America. He was 18 or 19 years old, went all by himself. I said, oh, yeah, so did you experience Mussolini? And he said, mussolini, a good man. I said, keep it down, Uncle Leo, keep it down. But when he got to America, he joined the military. He wanted to serve, but because he was right, literally off the boat, they thought he was a spy. So he was one of the first people. Whenever there was danger, his commanding officer said, leo, you go first. He was one of the first people on the beaches of Normandy on D Day. He told me a. Harrowing story of courage, of not just him, but all of those around him. Telling me exactly what it was like on the beaches on that day. Running for the cliff, trying to stay alive. Seeing all of your friends. His best friend couldn't swim. They had these huge backpacks on. They were ill designed and they actually floated. And forced, when they would float, it forced you face down, not face up, all the way over. His friend kept saying, I can't swim. I can't swim. I can't swim. Didn't matter when the gate came down, he and Uncle Leo got off the ship and his friend went down and never came back up. Somebody has to go first. I don't know how many of us have seen the D Day Memorial. I don't know how many people even know where the D Day Memorial is, but it's tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Why would it be there? It's there in a small town in Virginia called Bedford. It's located there because the town of Bedford, in proportion of the population, no community lost more people than Bedford, Virginia, on D Day. It lost dozens of people. If you saw Saving Private Ryan, that was Company A. Company A was from Bedford. There were 34 men that went out. Of the 34 men that landed on Omaha beach that day, 23 of them died on the very first wave of attacks. Six weeks after D Day, the young telegraph operator at Green's Pharmacy in Bedford was overwhelmed at the news. She's there in the pharmacy and she also works the telegraph. And the telegraph kept going off and it was the deaths, one after another of all the people in her town that she knew. There were so many telegraphs that were coming in, she couldn't deliver them, and so she asked the customers that were in the store. This one is for this family. You live right by them. Can you deliver this? This one is for this family. And the whole town delivered the news. Name after name. All of the people in the soda shop in Bedford. Among those that were killed in action from Bedford were Bedford, the name, and Raymond Hoback. They were brothers. Bedford was the older brother, kind of rambunctious. He had a fiance that was home waiting for him to come home. Raymond was the quiet one. He was more disciplined. And he was the one that could usually be found quietly reading his Bible at home. He had just fallen in love with a British woman that he had met before D day. They were planning on getting married.

Bedford and Raymond barely made it out of the ramp off the ramp of the boat as a swarm of bullets came and cut through them. There was also Ray Stevens and his twin brother Roy. They were on separate boats that morning. They had plans to meet up after they made it to shore on the beach. Roy's boat never made it to shore. It was struck by an artillery shell. Roy was dumped into the English Channel. He was later rescued. He was picked up. He fought for several weeks in northern France until shrapnel from a landmine took out his shoulder, parts of his jaw, parts of his neck. It ended the war for him. He lived, but he carried the wounds and the scars with him the rest of his life. But his greatest loss, with his brother Ray. Like the Hoback brothers, Ray never made it off of Omaha beach that day. Bedford and Raymond Hoback's mother, Macy, learned about her son's death. The first one on a Sunday, and the next son the next day. Their younger sister, Louise or Lucille. I'm sorry, said mom was devastated. And dad just went out to the barn because he didn't want to see. He didn't want anybody to see him cry. And he wept in the barn. These are the people that we celebrate and we forget about all too often. Without those 41 torpedo bombers, there is. There's no perfect timing. There's no perfect anything. But without those 41 bombers at Midway, we lose to the Japanese. Without the 40, without the Higgins boats and all of those men from Bedford that died, we don't march into Paris. We don't stop Nazi rule. Somebody has to go first. The qualities that these men have. Do we have those qualities anymore? Are we willing to do these things? Selflessness, bravery, you know, not all of them wanted to go. Not all of them wanted to die. I'm sure most of them didn't. They were men mostly in their 20s. But in the heart of the battle, when asked, they were willing to give their life. Are we that selfless now? The heroes at Midway and D Day, some of them believed and some of them didn't. But God surely was not a foreign concept at the time. God played a huge role. He always. It kills me when people say our founders were deists. A deist believes God is a watchmaker. He makes the watch, sets the time and then puts it away and never looks at it again and is completely uninvolved. Every one of our founders talked about the miracles that they saw. You don't believe in miracles if you're a deist. You only Believe in miracles. If you believe the truth that God is God, God is active then, now, and in the future. The day after D Day, a soldier from West Virginia, not from Bedford, but from West Virginia, was walking along Omaha beach and he saw something jutting out of the sand. He picked it up. It was exactly what David showed you earlier. It was a heart shield Bible. It was stuck in the sand. He reached down to pick it up. It clearly didn't save this soldier's life. It apparently had fallen out of his backpack as he fell. The inside cover said, raymond S Hoback from Mom, Christmas 1938. He wrote a letter and took the Bible. He packaged it up and he sent it to Raymond's mom in Bedford Macy. It was her most cherished possession and the only personal belonging that she ever got back from her son. There are no atheists in a foxhole. Miracles happen. But here we are in a different time, in a different age, and in this black hole of globalized technology. Atheism seems to be thriving right now. Or worse yet, maybe you do believe in something. But it is the ultimate darkness. We are now more connected than man has ever been connected before. But we're plugged into the wrong things. We need to be plugged into something much, much bigger than our Internet, our devices. We need to plug in to God. So how do we honor the men of D Day Midway and those like them who served on this ship and that plane and those ships now just across the water from us? How do we honor them? The first thing we have to do is remember. How many times in the Scriptures does God say, remember, Remember. It is a commandment to us over and over and over again. And he instructs us from Adam and Eve all the way along to construct an altar, to build a monument to remember. We live in a society now that's tearing down our monuments, tearing down our statues, tearing down the things that help us remember. And if we don't remember and we don't remember the stories, we forget who we are, where we came from, and where we're going. By remembering, we become better citizens, better people, and we can be the caretakers of freedom. World War II has a unique time in our history and that generation, there are very few left. I don't know about you, but I went back to say thank you to the two guys that unfolded the flag. Coe, the older gentleman, the shorter gentleman was truly remarkable. I wanted to hear his story. I just said thank you, and he saluted me. We talk an awful lot about rights now. We were just At Ellis island with a Statue of Liberty. And everybody was talking about rights. It's time that we start talking about our responsibilities. Right now we are in the first time in human history can actually be entertained every waking hour of our life. There was a book out in the 1980s, amusing ourselves to death. He was worried about television. Look at what we're facing now. What has technology done to us? It has made it very hard for us to look at, at our responsibilities, to look at sacrifice. We're all owed something. It can all be better. Even though I'm not going to work for it and I'm not willing to sacrifice for it. Our founders lost everything, many of them. Sam Adams lost everything. He wrote to his family after they lost their house, their belongings. We all have to be content to suffer the loss of all things in this life rather than tamely surrender the public liberty. It is our 250th anniversary. How many of us remember, how many of us remember what we're even living in today and the value of this freedom? The things that we see, the things that we're able to accomplish. The God we can praise or not praise. For the first time in human history, men live like they've never lived before. And most Americans say meh. Remember where we have come from. Remember what it has taken. Remember those who have sacrificed so we can say meh.

Today Abraham Lincoln said in the Gettysburg address he gave us his marching orders, our marching orders. Today it is rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. This he said in the 1800s. This I beg of you today. Let us all hear highly resolve. Let us be the first to remember and honor the past. Let us resolve to prepare the next generation for the future just ahead. A future that is brighter than today, is better than today, is more glorious than today. We're only defeated when we believe we're defeated. We're only defeated when we can't see a better chapter that is about to be written by Americans who will once again change the world. Let us resolve to be that next generation. Let us persevere. Let us sacrifice gladly, serve on the front line. Let us all say someone has to go first. Let it be me as we will write a new chapter as the country that is, was and will be again tomorrow the last great hope on earth. Thank you for coming.
