The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. What a coincidence. And my name is Glenn Beck. Hello from the nation's capital in Washington D.C. where it is hot as hell, but an amazing setup. I mean, I gotta tell you, the government is spending around $300 million to be able to put this whole thing on. It is, it's, it's incredible. I've never seen, I've never seen anything like it. And I've been to Washington D.C. since the 80s and I've never seen this city so clean. The parks are clean and nobody's here because all the Trump haters are absolutely gone. But it is, it is promising to be an incredible weekend. If you're anywhere in the area, you should come to Washington D.C. and see this because I'll tell you here in a few minutes you've never seen anything like this before. There are several things that have never been done before. I mean, not just in Washington D.C. but in the history of the world that are happening this weekend that if you, you want to do something great for fourth of July, this is the place you should be this week. All right. Also, I want to tell you, you know, there's choices. You could go to California. I want to tell you about El Cajon and what they're doing in California because it, I don't think they understand the idea of Independence Day. I'll give you this also socialist one again again in Denver, people are saying, you know, oh, well, this is good. I'm not sure it is. I'm not sure it is. I'm not sure that the Democrats are all that opposed to what is being proposed here. Citizen vigilante. We have to talk about. I've got part two of the Declaration of Independence that we're going to talk about this program. There's just a bunch. Buckle up. We're going to begin here in 60 seconds.

So in El Cajon, California, Mayor Bill Wells is doing a Fourth of July celebration. And this is why I say please call this Independence Day. Let's stop calling it 4th of July. It's Independence Day celebration because what they're having in El Cajon, California, is a Fourth of July celebration. Here's what's happening between 3 and 5:45. Set up in soundcheck media statements at 6. At 6 guest arrival and networking. And then the program begins at 5:45. The tribal intimate blessing. Welcome to land. Then at 6pm that's from 5:45 to 6. So you got that going for 15 minutes. And then at 6pm For 10 minutes, a welcome and land acknowledgment. Then at 6:10. This is California. At 6:10 the tribal invocation. Then at 6:20 the national black anthem. Then at 6:35 the local tribal community stories. Then at 7 is the Latino community stories. At 7:25 is the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander community stories. That goes from 7:25 to 7:50. Then 7:50 is the LGBTQIA plus community stories. That goes from 750 to 725. 725, the black and African community stories. And then closing remarks. Happy fourth of July everybody. That is their fourth of July. Oh, and they have fireworks after that. I don't think we live in the same country anymore. I think everything has changed. And meanwhile here in Washington D.C. things are again. Last night I got in and I took a walk. I walked about two miles around the, the Mall. It is. If you didn't, if you've never been to Washington D.C. you won't, you won't know what at Washington D.C. d.C. Actually looks like when all of this stuff isn't here. They have fencing around the White House. You can't get within two blocks of the White House. So you can only see it about two blocks away. All of the, the Ellipse is closed. The Lafayette park in front is closed. So you can only see it from about a block and a half to two blocks away. And it's really disappointing. I went up to one of the Secret service agents, I said, is this the way it's always going to be now? Because it's really bad security wise. And they said no, no, no, it's just for this event. But then you get to the Mall and they have built infrastructure that is. I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen any like stadium seating around the, the national, right behind the Washington Monument. As you're looking towards the Lincoln Memorial, that's where the fireworks, the main fireworks stage is going to be. There is going to be flyovers from some of our biggest jets including the first time Air Force, the new Air Force One will be flown. They're going to fly it over the mall. NASA's got a lot of experiment old experimental planes. They're going to be flying all week long. There's a rodeo here. The amazing thing is is the fireworks. Now this will show you how bad the media has done their job. I don't know what's going on here in Washington D.C. do you, do you have any idea? This is historic on multiple levels. They, they have never done just the state fair. They have never done a state fair like this ever. This is like the world's fair. If you remember those if you're my age. When you're a kid. They used to do World's Fair, except it's one country. The entire, the entire thing is a thousand acres. That's the event space. A thousand acres. It's all 50 states are supposed to be all 50 states. The NASA is here with experimental prototypes. A moonscape of showing you what it's going to be like when we start to live on the moon. All these different things. And then it culminates on Saturday with fireworks. Now fireworks in Washington D.C. are always spectacular. To give you some perspective of what is happening this weekend in Washington D.C. if you're anywhere in the east coast and you like fireworks, you will never ever, ever again see fireworks like this. The typical small town runs about 300 to maybe a thousand arterial shells. Okay, 300 to 1,000. A large city, you're living in Dallas or Chicago or something, you get 3,000 to 8,000 shells. America's biggest annual shows. Let's use the Macy's 4th of July fireworks in New York City. That's the biggest in the country. They use 80,000 effects over 25 minutes. 80,000. You want to know how big this one is? The largest in the country is 80,000 shells. This Saturday, Washington for the 250 will set the world record of 850,080. It's 10 to over 10 times the size of the largest fireworks show in America. It is ten times that size. They think they don't know because they haven't announced everything. They think they're going to be putting up 16 inch shells. Those go up about two and a half miles in the air and they're four football fields wide. When they, that's, that's a quarter of a mile wide. One firework, it's launching from eight separate stations. They're using all of the monuments. They say they're going to bring the monuments to life by using these shells. It's never ever been done before. Nobody ever thinks that it will be done again. Last year for fourth of July, which I don't know if you saw the Fourth of July here in Washington D.C. they're spectacular, especially with Donald Trump. Last year they spent, what was it, 100, I think it was $160,000 or maybe it was a hundred thousand. This year, $1.6 million nobody's ever done. It'll be a Guinness World record. And I guarantee you if you like fireworks, you will never ever see them like this again. China has not even done it this size. And China's fireworks Store shows are spectacular. So it's only 850 times larger than your local fireworks show and 100 to 200 times larger than your average big city fireworks show and about 11 times larger than what you would see in New York City. How come we're not hearing about that? How come we haven't heard about the rodeo on the mall? How come we're not hearing that? The. The Thunderbirds and. What's the other one? The Blue Angels. Sorry, Navy. The Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds. By the way, Blue Angels are better. Both of them are performing this week. How come we're not hearing any of this? I swear to you, the press hates Donald Trump so much, they will sell us down the river. They will sell their own country down the river. This is the most spectacular thing that has ever been done for any anniversary of the United States. It dwarfs everything else we have ever done to celebrate the Fourth of July. It dwarfs everything anyone has ever done. And you're not hearing about it. I mean, I just, I. I hate the press. I absolutely hate them. Hate them. I was walking through last night. I haven't even seen anything yet. I'm going to speak on the main stage today at what time? 1 2pm Eastern. I'm going to be teaching the Declaration of Independence, and I'm really excited to do it. I. I don't know if anybody's going to be there because it's hot as hell. It's so hot here, but I'm going to be teaching the Declaration of Independence. I haven't even seen. I mean, Rob, our engineer, he was there yesterday. He said he's never seen anything like it. I haven't even seen that part. I just, I saw down by the Lincoln Memorial. It's incredible. If you're anywhere near, you should come. You should come, and you should come and just see the parks. You should just come and see how clean everything is. Did you guys get a chance? Ricky, did you see it? Jason, did you see.
Jason
Yeah, last night we. My flight was late, but that delays things. We saw the Washington Monument at sunset with 250lit up on the side of the monument. And my jaw dropped. And I know it's just a taste of what the city is going to look like. And I am heartbroken that people in the DMV area, most of them Democrats, who hate Trump, are not going to be celebrating America. You can almost point out, though, who's here, who is a Trump supporter. When you see him in the. Walking in the sidewalk, they're wearing a flag that's like a dead tell that they're a MAGA supporter.
Glenn Beck
And you could tell. I mean, it didn't used to be that way, but it's a, it's a tell, you know, who's a MAGA supporter because you're here. There's like nobody here. There's nobody here. It's. It's insane.
Jason
There's going to be some torch insiders here.
Glenn Beck
Are there?
Jason
They're coming to your speech.
Glenn Beck
Oh, you're kidding me.
Jason
Really? They've self organized.
Glenn Beck
I just leave it to them. Yeah, Flags never going down. I mean, you want to talk about Fort McHenry, how they, you know the Fort McHenry story when they were shelling, that when they found, when they finally went to see the fort, there was a pile of bodies underneath the flag. Because the flag, once the flag comes down, it's a sign that you've surrendered. And, and so they wanted to keep the flag up. So people were holding it up and being shot and then others would come and just hold up the flag at Fort McHenry, that those are the insiders and they're never going to let that flag fall. Just love them. Let's see, there's also tonight, there's the golden door from Washington D.C. live from D.C. i'm doing the special from Ellis island to the White House, the Golden Door. This is the history of immigration. And I got to tell you, especially with what's going on, you read the 14th amendment, you really have to read it because you don't hear it. We were on the plane and my son was talking about what was happening, and he reaches into his pocket and he pulls out his constitution. And I'm like, oh my gosh, he's turned into one of those nerds. He's a kid with a pocket constitution. So he pulls out the pocket constitution and he's reading it to me and he's like, dad, explain this to me. And I'm like, okay, I don't have a fucking constitution, but okay, I'll try. He said, all persons born or naturalized in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and the state within where they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law that'll abridge the privileges or immunity of citizens of the United States, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, this was for the slaves, right? And I'm like, yes, it was for the slaves. I don't understand. Because it says, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. And I'm like, dude, I don't know who raised you. But yes, because I didn't think you were listening to me at all in your, in your teen years. And he's like, I didn't, Dad, I didn't. I've, I've joined the people at tpusa and I'm like, anyway, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. The debate that we're having right now is whether a child whose parents just touched US Soil yesterday and then went into labor and gave birth today. Are they subject to our jurisdiction? Are they, are they actually falling under our laws? Are they living under our law? Are they just popping in and visiting that? I mean, you can't, you can't answer that or really even debate it without historic context. And I want to turn that over to Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas was fabulous on this yesterday. We'll talk about that here in just a second. And don't miss our special Golden Door tonight, live. What time do we start at 7:45. A little early.
Ricky
It's, the chat's going to go live around 7:30, but I'm going to pop in 7:45 and then it actually starts
Glenn Beck
at, it starts at 8:00'.
Ricky
Clock.
Glenn Beck
Don't miss this. Watch this with your family. It is a great special. If you're not a member of the Torch, become cancel tomorrow. Just watch this today. It is so good. It's one of the best documentaries we've done. It's fun, it's historic. It's you. It's 250. You will learn things, you will laugh your cry. It'll become a part of you. It will. So join us. Torch250.com Sign up right now, torch250.com and we'll see you at 8. I'm going to follow this up with Clarence Thomas, what he said in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about IFCJ. One of the things that makes a great friendship, friendship is when your friendship is based on shared values. You don't stand by somebody because it's convenient. You stand by them because you believe the same things. And that is largely the relationship between the United States and Israel. The big things we agree on. We may not agree on war and everything else, but our two countries have been linked forever by a shared commitment to freedom, faith and democracy and the belief that human life has inherent value. Now they get the socialist stuff all wrong.
Ricky
Okay?
Glenn Beck
I don't want to fight any of their wars, but the principles are there. This is why I'm grateful for the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're providing food and shelter and Medical care, security and other life saving support for the Jews in Israel who need it most. I mean, imagine being a Jew today anywhere in the world. How terrifying it must be. Please be one of those Christians that says not again, Never again. Not on my watch. As America celebrates 250 years of independence, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews turns to God in prayer, asking that his wisdom will guide elected officials and lead America Israel to moral clarity and unity. Usa. You can get a USA Israel flag pin today when you go online@flagpin ifcj.org that's flagpin ifcj.org 10 seconds. Station ID. So Clarence Thomas wrote the dissent yesterday. He said the citizenship clause was enacted for people who were born in this country and called it home. It was enacted for free slaves, such as Dred Scott, who had a domicile here and therefore were entitled to sue as citizens. It was enacted for men such as Frederick Douglass, who demanded citizenship not as aliens or exiles, but as Americans. Its authors and supporters promised over and over again that it would exclude the children of persons temporarily resident here whom we would have no right to make citizens. In Senator Trumbull's world words, he was a major player in support of adopting the 14th amendment. What do you mean by subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, not owing allegiance to anyone else? That's what it means. And after decades after ratification, it was interpreted by all three branches of government by a wide range of legal authorities to be limited to people who were already Americans. The 14th Amendment is a response to the awful Dred Scott decision. The court had ruled no black person, free or slave, could be a US Citizen. That's Dred Scott. He's like, no, they live here under our jurisdiction. What we have done is we have just opened the door for China to invade. And I have to tell you, I think there is a way around this. I think the President could call this an invading army and that changes everything. It's if one. You ever wonder why everybody's like, it's not an invasion. It's not an invasion. It's not an invasion. This is why. Because the way to stop this is to call it an invasion. We'll have more on this. And don't miss this special tonight. You're going to love it. The Golden Door only on the torch. Torch250.com all right, let me tell you about rapid radios. There's an old expression about herding cats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are. Travel with my family. It's a cat family. Getting them all at the same place. At the same time, you know exactly what it means. Somebody took the wrong turn. Somebody else stopped for coffee. One person thought you said the north entrance. Another is waiting in the south entrance. And the guy who was just supposed to bring the cooler is somehow another ended up 10 miles away. This is why you want Rapid Radios. You don't have to play phone tag, wait for somebody to notice a text or wonder you if somebody got the message. We have them here as a family because we're doing a big family reunion here in Washington D.C. this week. And all you have to do is just push a button and talk. And sometimes that's the difference between chaos and a smooth day. It's just simple. Everybody being able to communicate. That's what Rapid Radios is all about.

Jason
Glenn teaches us what immigration was meant to be. Live tonight at 8pm torch250.com don't miss it.
Ricky
Foreign.
Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Oh man, it's out of control. If you're not an engineer insider, you should be an insider of the Torch because when we're all together in our same room, it, it doesn't go smoothly. Let's just say that it was not going to go smoothly. Let me see. I want to play a couple of things. Do we have, do we have the audio from Nate Friedman? This is, this is amazing. This is amazing. Which, which cut is this one? Ricky, Go ahead. Go ahead, you guys.
Stew
Guys.
Glenn Beck
Permission from the office to build. You went to the office? Take one mission.
Nate Friedman
Which office? Come on.
Stew
Private property.
Glenn Beck
You gotta go outside.
Nate Friedman
That's fine. We can film it.
Glenn Beck
We can film it.
Nate Friedman
Okay, let's get permission. You told us to come in.
Glenn Beck
No, get out. You're not allowed no property.
Nate Friedman
Can you say why?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, because it's private property here. You don't have to. It's private property.
Nate Friedman
Could you state the reason though?
Glenn Beck
He made him very uncomfortable. Who?
Nate Friedman
The guy, the guy that I'm interviewing.
Glenn Beck
You didn't even ask him permission?
Nate Friedman
No, but the guy that I was interviewing, he was we ever. Nice conversation. So we're walking away from the mosque for about two minutes and when we get to our car we turn around and see this. Look at this and this guy.
Glenn Beck
I don't know why.
Nate Friedman
Why are you filming us here? You're filming the license plate. Why are you filming our film this? So why recording YouTube? Why did you come and film our license plate? We're off of the private property. We're literally off of the property.
Ricky
Okay.
Glenn Beck
Because you're recording us.
Nate Friedman
I'm recording you. Do you realize that? We're going to look up if you. You don't. This is not private property right here. This is not your private property. So we're going to look up. We're going to look up the lease.
Glenn Beck
So what is happening here, Ricky?
Jason
Independent journalist Nate Friedman, he went to New Jersey and he said that he exposed the Islamic takeover it and that the mayor of Patterson, where he was, has renamed his city the capital of Palestine in America and main street is now Palestine way.
Glenn Beck
So there's no way that's true. That was my thought. There's no way that's true.
Jason
Yeah. So he tries to go into a mosque, which, you know, as a Jew, maybe it would be a little bit difficult.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Jason
And he gets kicked off the property. They start following him to the car. He's got. There's a few other clips where he documents the just how insane the invasion in New Jersey, one of the most America states in the union has now become Little Islam. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Is there another cut worth playing? Which one?
Jason
I would say, let's see, cut four.
Nate Friedman
When walking down the street, I noticed this barbershop put a shirt out in the window that said Jews did 9 11. I wanted to ask the barbershop owner about it, and then this happened.
Glenn Beck
What's going on?
Nate Friedman
What's going on? Can I see a question? So I'm from Manhattan and I'm doing a video on Patterson, New Jersey. Could I. I'd love to speak to someone who works with this barbershop. You work with the barbershop? I just didn't know if you were waiting to get a cut or not. You work for them. I noticed an interesting shirt on the window.
Glenn Beck
What are you guys, first of all?
Nate Friedman
Oh, I'm a journalist from Manhattan. What are you?
Glenn Beck
What's your background?
Nate Friedman
My background? I'm an independent journalist. This is my.
Jason
Are you.
Glenn Beck
Are you a Zionist? What are you?
Nate Friedman
Am I a Jew or a Zionist? Why does it matter if I'm a Jew or a Zionist?
Glenn Beck
Take a walk, buddy.
Nate Friedman
Why does it matter?
Stew
Why does it look.
Nate Friedman
Why does it matter if I'm a Jew or is. Oh, why does it matter? Okay, so he just shoved the door in Front of my face. His shirt says, Jews did it for 9, 11.
Glenn Beck
No Jews allowed in America. Tell me this isn't an invasion in America. Get out if you're a Jew. I've seen this movie before. We all have. It's called Schindler's List. That's how this ends. But you're the bigot now. Let me. Let me take it to an unconventional connection. Let me take you to Citizen Vigilante. You've seen this movie yet? Yes, saw this movie on the plane yesterday. I can't recommend it. It's not that good of a movie in the first place, and it's extraordinarily violent, and it's just. It's a mess. It's a mess. But it is worth talking about. It's been banned in Germany because it shows in the end. Spoiler alert if you're gonna watch it. But this guy comes in, he's a Citizen Vigilante, obviously, by the name, and he is righting all the wrongs. And he goes into this Islamic house, and he's talking to, you know, the kids, and he's like, why did you rape them? Well, it was a mistake. I thought she wanted it. Oh, really? You thought she wanted it? I mean, it was a ridiculous excuse. And then the family started. The family start saying, well, the girls wanted it, because the way they're dressed. That was a girl on the couch that said that. An Islamist girl. And he looks at the father and says, is this how you're raising. These are the values you're raising? Yeah. And he shoots them all. And then before he does, he says, call all your friends over and just. Pile of bodies. And it is. It is being viewed with satisfaction in some communities, and it is. I think it's extraordinarily dangerous. If you look at American movies, you have Pale Rider, you have Unforgiveness, right? You have High Noon. You even have that Charles Bronson movie. What's a death. Is it Death Wish?
Ricky
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
You have all of these. All of these movies. You have. What's the movie? Tom Cruise did one movie.
Ricky
Reacher.
Glenn Beck
Reacher. All of these guys are reluctant heroes, okay? They were not. They were not looking for trouble. They saw something go on, and they had to take care of it because nobody was taking care of it. They were not saying, join me in this. They were not glorifying it. They were just trying to solve a problem. Even the Equalizer is like that. He doesn't want to do any of this. This guy does. This guy wants to. This guy's becoming Famous. This guy in the end does not ride away in the sunset. This guy is making himself. He wants to be famous because he wants to get others to do it. And he's constantly saying, I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this for you. And none of that rang true. To me, this is an enormous moral shift. I think our movies always, when we had these anti heroes, with an exception of Batman, but even Batman goes through this time of like, I'm. Am I a bad guy? I'm a bad guy. Am I a bad guy? These anti heroes are really, really dangerous. The gunfighter that stays becomes the tyrant. And this guy is not saying that the law is just broken. He's saying, I'm above the law. I'm above the law. I am the law. You will fix it or I will fix you. And I just think, you know, a hero, A hero is trying to make himself unnecessary and does not look for the fame at the end. Of all American heroes, these guys like, look at Unforgiven is the best one. He turns a preacher because he knows what he's doing is wrong.
Ricky
He.
Glenn Beck
He's a preacher. He only reluctantly, at the very last minute goes and rides away to get his gun to be able to do something. And at the very end, he doesn't want to be glorified for it. He rides away. Preacher, we love you. I love you, preacher. He's riding away. He doesn't want any part of that. That's not this guy. This is, I think this is a dangerous movie.
Ricky
Yeah. And what's, what's unfortunate is there was some rhetoric. There was a lot of things done in this movie. It was very, a range of emotions. When I watched this. There was a lot of things done very deliberately, but then other things done slightly like. And some of that is the use of like, some what people would consider right wing rhetoric where they mention a couple times the woke left other things. But at the.
Glenn Beck
So and the fact that he's an American.
Ricky
He's American. He's actually an American. Multiple people pointed out illegal immigrant in the country at the same time.
Glenn Beck
And apparently a multimillionaire. So very wealthy kind of guy. He's an elite.
Ricky
One of the unfortunate things is there were some right wing influencers that were, you know, championing this and like kind of talking it up. But did you notice, Glenn, throughout the entire movie, they made a. The director made a very specific effort to make this guy not look like a good guy.
Glenn Beck
He. Oh, the minute he starts killing all the cops, I'm Done.
Jason
Kill.
Glenn Beck
I was done with the movie. The minute he starts killing the cops, there was like, okay, There was the
Ricky
time, just approval point where he swerved in front of the car and, yeah, yeah, that guy's probably dead.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, the.
Ricky
The softcore porn scene with the prostitute. I was like, oh, my gosh, how long am I watching?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, but I mean.
Ricky
But at the same.
Glenn Beck
I didn't see. I. I don't. What was the point of that?
Ricky
I think just to make him. I think the whole point was to make this. To. To point out actual things that are happening. To point out that, yes, this is an issue. Like, in the uk, there are some very bad things that are happening because of mass illegal immigration. The governments are failing. They're turning a blind eye to it. Multiple different cases were actual mirrors of real cases that have happened.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Ricky
But they showed that this is not a good guy. He's a very bad guy. He's an evil guy. If government fails to protect their people, if they allow these things to happen, there will be a Bubba effect, and you will not like the devil that shows up.
Glenn Beck
So after I agree 100% with that, and if that's indeed what the director was trying to show, that's fine. But I don't. I think there's gonna be a lot of people that don't get that message from it.
Ricky
Yes, I agree.
Glenn Beck
You know, they're one.
Jason
What is number one on itunes? Amazon.
Glenn Beck
And it's not a good movie. I mean, let's. I mean, just let's talk about it as a movie. It's a bad movie.
Nate Friedman
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I mean, it was like, oh, okay, lots of violence, violence, violence. And then really slow. Nothing for a long time. You're like, oh, it's a bad movie. But the message itself, I think, is really bad. You know, the cowboy always wants to put away the gun. Always wants to put away the gun. The night at the end of the bloodshed, he wants to go home. He wants that. I didn't get the impression this guy wants it. And I think, because especially that last scene, that is so real, especially if you're over in England or you're in Germany, that stuff is happening. That is absolutely happening. And you'll watch that and you'll be like, damn right, that's exactly what should happen. And like you said, you're not gonna like the guy who shows up.
Ricky
Yeah. And, yeah, a lot of things they point out, like, even the. There's some insiders now talking about, you know, the police and how they were portrayed. That's Even the case, like in the, you know, like, the police, a lot of times will either be arresting people for hanging flags or because their superiors are telling them the political structure is telling them to do this, or they're not arresting the people that are actually doing the crimes.
Glenn Beck
Well, here's the other thing, cuz. Does it happen in Germany? It happens in Germany, right? Here's the other thing about this movie that is just ridiculous. That guy would have been arrested 10 minutes into this movie. I mean, he touches everything. It's almost like he's signing his name on every crime scene. I'm like, in America, this guy would have been behind bars already. They would have had him already. The guy is like. He'll leave his gun places. He practically walks out of a door in one place. And it's like, touch, touch the doorknob, doorknob, Donna. I gotta touch, touch, touch, touch, touch, touch. And you're like, do they have fingerprinting? Is anybody gonna arrest this guy? And he's. He's pixelated. He's got the American accent. You know what he sounds like? I mean, you know, the general shape of his head. They have him. At one point, they pick up his glass. I didn't even understand this. They pick up his glass, which. The reason why they pick it up is to get his fingerprints. The fingerprints are all over the crime scenes. And they can't catch this guy. I mean, it's just. It's a stupid, stupid movie. But dangerous. Dangerous, because that is not the answer. But if people stop, if they don't start listening to the one thing he said in it was, you're not protecting the people who elected you. You're not listening to the people who elected you. And that's true. Again, you got to hold two things in separate hands. That's true. Citizen, vigilante. That's evil. Both of those things can be true. All right, back in just a minute.

There are only so many dad gifts available in the world before everything gets just a little bit repetitive at a certain point. Every father in America owns enough novelty grilling. Aprons, socks with the tiny golf clubs on them, and the coffee mugs with those hilarious sarcastic slogans. Those are all great, of course, but I would say food, better option. Especially the food is really, really good. And that brings me to Kexi.

My patriot supply is our sponsor. We tend to think of freedom as the ability to do whatever we want, but that's not true. There's another kind of freedom that we don't talk about as much. The freedom of not having to panic. The freedom of knowing that something interrupts daily life. Your family isn't immediately in trouble because you have balanced your freedom with responsibility. You thought ahead. That's a different kind of independence. That's what real independence is. Responsibility and freedom. Well, I love Patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply. They've helped millions of Americans become more self reliant with emergency food, water, filtration, backup power, other preparedness essentials. I have used them for years. My family is prepared. Preparedness isn't about expecting the worst. It's about making sure that the people you love are taken care of. So if life throws you a curveball, you can focus on solving the problem instead of scrambling to find your next meal. That's what real. Can we stop calling me during the show, please? You know, Sarah, that's what real independence looks like. They're celebrating America's 250th anniversary right now. Some of their biggest savings of the year. Preparedness has never been about fear. It's about freedom. The freedom that comes from knowing that your family will be okay even when things don't go according to plan.

Glenn destroys the lies in a brand new documentary streaming tonight. Excited for that tonight. Jason was with me when we filmed it. And it's kind of one of my favorite things to do, to walk around New York and just tell stories. Rob said he, he saw a part of the documentary last night, our engineer Rob, and he said the thing he liked was one of the stories that I tell about, you know, I tell about the first terrorist bombing, the worst terrorist bombing until the Oklahoma City bombing. And you know, it happened over 100 years ago and I take you to that place and it happens to be right where we're talking about something else. And I turn around and I show this pock marks on the wall. Nobody ever sees it, Nobody ever knows. Nobody even asks, what is that? It's the sign of the largest terrorist attack in American history up until Oklahoma City. And you'll see it tonight. It's just a cool documentary. It's a live documentary. I'll be there to answer your questions and everything else after. We begin the pre show at about 7:30 Eastern. The show starts at 8. If you're not a member, join us now.

You know, there's a problem with the way most of us think about health. We assume that if something is wrong, we'll know it or our doctor will catch it at the annual physical. But that's really not how it works. Most health problems build slowly. You're a little more tired than you used to be. Your sleep isn't quite as good these days. Maybe you feel a little foggy, a little off. And every year you're told good news. Your blood work looks fine until one day it doesn't. And by that point, you're not preventing a problem, you're managing one. That's why I like what Jevoty does. They look deeper at over 100 different labs, including hormones, inflation, metabolic health, nutrient levels, the kinds of things that actually help you understand what's happening in your body. Years before a diagnosis, a technician comes to your home. They draw your blood, and then a real care team walks you through the results so you actually understand what those numbers mean.

It is the, the biggest show in America is about 8,000 shells. I'm sorry, 80,000 shells. This one is 850,000. They say some of these, some of these fireworks will be as much as a quarter of a mile across. You'll never see any fireworks show like this. And they're doing such a poor job. The press is just ignoring this like crazy. You've never seen anything like this. What's happening in Washington? You should be here. I'll be Speaking today at 2:00pm on the National Mall at the main stage. Today I'm teaching the Constitution. So it'll be exciting. There's nothing like listening to somebody teach the constitution. And in 110 degrees. Oh my gosh, color me there, Batman. But I'm going to also tell you the next phase of our story on the Declaration of Independence and signing of the Declaration. Yesterday I told you, on June 11, 1776, they appointed five men to a committee. It was Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston out of New York and a 33 year old red headed lawyer from Virginia. No one understood when they picked him to, to be part of the committee exactly what was happening. He didn't either. But I want you to think of Thomas Jefferson here because that's exactly where this part of the story begins with Thomas Jefferson and it is not the story you were told. We begin there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about chapter. You know, I always listen to a, my wife because she's always right. Two, the mechanic who always starts saying, so what's your car been doing that's got you worried? Before he ever talks about how to fix it, he doesn't walk into the garage and say hey, hey everybody, everybody needs a new transmission. He asks questions, when does it make the noise? Does it happen all the time? Or is it just when it's Cold does it pull to the left? In other words, he wants to understand the problem before he recommends the solution. And that is exactly how I think people should approach Medicare. It's not one plan that's right for everybody. Your doctors are different, your prescriptions are different, your needs, your health is different. And that's why I recommend Chapter. They don't start by trying to push towards some sort of a insurance company. They start with you. They take the time to understand your situation and then they help you find the right plan. It's Chapter. I want you to go right now. It's £250. Say the keyword chapter. £250. Key word chapter. So the most important words ever written about human freedom, the words that would go on to topple empires and free slaves and shame tyrants for 250 years, were written by a man who did not want the assignment. He didn't even want to be in the city. Most people don't know he was drowning in grief. He. He was. He almost didn't even make it into the room. You know, we've turned Thomas Jefferson into marble. A face in the mountain, a face on the nickel, a powdered wig and a serene gray gaze and a quill held at the perfect angle. Take away the wig and the marble and all of that stuff because he is much more astonishing than the statue is. Start with this. He almost missed the whole thing. It's spring of 1776. History is about to be made in Philadelphia. He doesn't think it's going to be made. He thinks it's going to be made in, in Virginia in the state house. And so he is staying at home. And he didn't, he didn't want to go. His heart was in Virginia. The writing of a brand new state constitution was happening right then. That was the prize. To him, Philadelphia was the duty. And he lingered for a while. He lingered at Monticello. He didn't leave Congress until early May. Nearly missed his own immortality by sheer reluctance. And he had reasons to stay. Nothing to do with politics and reasons that honestly, if you, if you're human, it almost breaks your heart when you stop and look at him. That March, his mother died. And his mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson, she was 57 years old. And he was devastated, Devastated. Very close to his mother. You know, Thomas Jefferson, this is a guy, fountain of language. This is a guy who could spin a sentence like silk. He just would write volumes of words on things and all of them beautiful. Do you know how he recorded the death of his own mother? In his own little pocket account book. One line. One flat line. My mother died this morning. Time of day, her age. Nothing else. No grief on the page. He was bottling it all up. If you've ever lost somebody and you find yourself unable to write a single feeling down, just the cold facts, because the facts are all you can survive, then you know who Thomas Jefferson was in this moment. That flatness isn't coldness. That flatness is a wound that is way too deep for any kind of words. So that happens. And then he gets sick. He's prone to migraines, and he's got a blinding migraine headache. And it was triggered by the grief and the strain of what was happening, not only with him, but there was something else. His wife, Martha. The love. I mean, the love of his life. You want to read something really beautiful? His wife eventually dies. He goes over to Paris, and he is. He falls in love with this girl, and he. He still feels promised to his wife, and so he doesn't know what to do. He loves this woman, wants to go off with this woman, but he doesn't. And he writes this letter to his heart, and then his heart writes a letter to his head. And it's this argument from the heart to the head and the head to the heart. It's just this amazing letter. He's trying to figure out, what do I do? Well, his wife is still alive, and this is the love of his life. Her health had always been fragile, broken again and again by pregnancy after pregnancy after pregnancy. She keeps having miscarriages. And every time she's gravely ill, she's now recovering from another miscarriage. And the letters. He was. I mean, he was desperate to receive any word from her health, telling, is she getting better or worse? They weren't coming while he was in Philadelphia. So throw out all the crap that you learned in the school book about, you know, the image of this calm genius at his desk, you know, and replace it with the truth. This guy was in deep angst and mourning. And Congress comes in and hands history to him. He wants to go home. He's afraid his wife is going to die at any minute, miles away. No word from home, homesick down to his bones, helpless to do anything about it at all. That's who wrote the Declaration of Independence. So now the committee of five meets, and somebody has to actually put pen to paper. And the obvious choice is not Jefferson. The obvious choice is John Adams. But John Adams, I mean, he's a nightmare. He's the firebrand. He's an he's the engine of all of it. He's been called the Atlas of Independence because he carried the whole cause on his back. But nobody liked it. Nobody liked him. By every right, the pen should have been his and the fame that went with it. The man who wrote the Declaration would be remembered forever. And John Adams knew it. And John Adams said, I can't write this. I can't write it. Why? Because for as bullish as John Adams was, to his everlasting credit, he knew exactly who John Adams was 46 years after the fact. Jefferson remembered it simply. He said, the committee just asked him and you know, go read both versions for yourself and judge. But Adams, Adams does not play it down. Jefferson tried to hand him the pen. Adams refused. Jefferson said, you should write it. Adams said, I'm not going to. Why? Then Adams gave him three reasons. And they're some of the most self aware words any powerful man has ever spoken. Reason one, you're a Virginian. And Virginians ought to stand at the head of this business because Virginia

is
Glenn Beck
the largest independent colony. So we have to have Virginia. We need your face on it. Reason number two, and here's a guy looking in the mirror without flinching at all, quote, I'm obnoxious, I'm suspected, I'm unpopular, and you are very much Otherwise. And reason three, you can write 10 times better than I can now. Think. That's the most powerful voice in the room. Handed a chance to be immortal. And, and he knows it. He knows it. But he says, I, nobody likes me. And I always see Ben Franklin in my head standing behind him because Thomas Jefferson was really polite and he had to have said, no, no, no, that's not true. And I can see Ben Franklin standing behind. Adam's going, oh yes it is. They don't like him. Nobody likes him. I don't even like him, okay? My name's on it. Men are going to resist it just because it's me and they resist me. Give it to the quiet kid who can write. He gives away the most famous writing assignment in the history of the world because he loved the cause more than he loved his own glory. When was the last time you saw any powerful man do that? And then the quiet kid was quiet. This is a detail that ponder for a while. Adam said that in all of his time that he sat beside Jefferson in Congress, he never heard him utter three sentences together. Three sentences. The man who would write the document that defined a civilization, Western civilization could not or would not speak up in any meeting because he was shy. He was a homebody. He hated the cut and the thrust of the debate, shouting and the performing. He hated it. Put him on his feet in the crowd and he's frozen. Put a pen in his hand and alone in silence, and he could reach up and pull thunder out from the sky. There's a lesson in that, that I don't think we should walk past every quiet person who ever sat in a loud room feeling useless. Every person who knew they had something true inside of them but couldn't win the shouting match. Thomas Jefferson is your founding father. He's your patron saint. The revolution didn't need him to be loud. It needed him to be right on paper when it counted. Your gift might not be the one that wins the room. It might be the one that wins the century. So how does he do it? Let me take a quick break and pick a story up there. Next 60 seconds.

This is what the founders were talking about. That's government at work. That disclaimer. That's the federal government saying, hey, I got to protect. And I think that's exactly what they were talking about with the Declaration of Independence. They were like, we gotta have that MLS thing. You know, that number that everybody won't know what the hell they're even talking about, but it'll be safety. Anyway. American financing. Look, if you're paying high interest, get out, and you have an existing mortgage that you like, the last thing you want to do is pay 20, 25%, you know, mortgage interest.

Torch's summer of 250 is on. Learn to defend our freedom with education for all ages. All summer long@torch250.com so Thomas Jefferson has to sit down now, all by himself, and put this together. Where does he go? He rents out two bedrooms. Sorry, two rooms. A bedroom and a parlor. It was on the second floor of a new brick house. It was owned by young bricklayer named Jacob. Graffiti center of town. It's at 7th and Market. That's actually at the edge of the city at the time. And he sits down and he pulls out this little portable writing box. It's a lap desk. He designed it himself. The guy was unbelievable. A little clever little folding thing of his own invention. He designed the very desk on which he would invent a nation. Now, here's the question. Everybody gets wrong in both directions. How much did he already have? Did he pull it out of thin air or did he just copy other people? The answer is neither. And the truth is probably the most interesting thing about him. That's the thing I love about history. The truth is much better than everything that you've learned in school. It cuts both ways, good and bad. Just days before, George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights had been printed. And it opened by declaring that all men are by nature equally free and independent, with inherent rights. You read that, then you read Jefferson, and you can hear it humming underneath the lines. He had his own earlier writing to draw from a pamphlet that he printed in 1774 that he had first. That first really made Thomas Jefferson famous. He had the whole inheritance of English, liberty and John Locke deep in his bones. But he didn't open a single book while he wrote. He didn't look at any other paperwork. It just was coming from him and explains the genius of him better than anything else. He said he never intended it to be original. He said, I just wanted the Declaration to be an expression of the American mind. He wasn't trying to invent a new idea. He was really. I mean, it's. It's a lot. Very much like Thomas Paine and common sense. He was trying to use common sense. He was trying to find the words for the thing 3 million people already felt inside, but they hadn't said it yet. So he reaches into the common era of his own time, and he pulls down language that has been waiting inside of him for years, some of these words, and waiting for somebody just to be clear enough and brave enough and wounded enough to finally write it down. And he did. He did it all alone, grieving his mother, terrified for his wife, homesick, sick himself in 17 days, the fate of a continent, the weight of his own neck pressing down on that little folding desk and the thing I want you to carry out. He had no idea. He really had no idea. He thought he was writing a committee report. Imagine how worthless you thought that was. Your mother just died, your wife is dying, you don't have any word and you're stuck in a room by yourself writing a committee report. He thought this was routine paperwork that would be forgotten in a month. He really didn't have any idea. He never dreamt his name would outlive the empire that he was defining. Go read his draft in his own hand. That's what I'm going to talk about on the Mall here in a little bit. Two o' clock this afternoon. I'm in Washington D.C. and I'm going to speak on the main stage here in Washington D.C. on the Mall. And I'm going to bring the copy of the original draft in Thomas Jefferson's own hand. And you look at the crossouts, you look at what he printed. There are five words that are printed not in cursive. United States, America. There are three. And then Christian and men. He added two more. Those two would be deleted by two colonies. But you look at the crossouts, you look at what was changed and who changed it. It's amazing. You'll see crossed out and you'll see something changed. And then it'll be in the hand of Benjamin Franklin and it will say B. Franklin on the edge. And then in the margin a little farther down it'll say J. Adams. And there'll be another change in John Adams hand but very few changes. But you can see it's not God writing scripture. It's a frightened, brilliant, heartbroken young man doing the best he could and reaching by accident and grief and genius reaching all the way to forever. The progressives have made the Declaration of Independence something that was meant to be just for their time. But that's the genius of it. It's not just for their time, it's for our time. That is the argument that Wilson started, Woodrow Wilson started turn of last century, that the Declaration of Independence is irrelevant. That's why Independence Day is so important. You know, that's not, not the founding of our country. That came later after the war. This is the 250th year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The most important document, I think, in all of human political history. I'm going to tell you part three of the story. How it was passed and what it was like for Jefferson to hear it butchered. Tomorrow, let me tell you about rapid Radios, you can learn a lot about the. About a person you know by the first thing they say. When something goes wrong, some people panic, some people get angry, and then there's the person who just calmly says, all right, all right, all right, here's the plan. Every group needs that person, but even the calmest leader in the world can't help if they can't communicate with everybody. So whether you are leading a work crew or coordinating a family vacation or hunting with friends or whatever it is that you're doing, maybe you're managing a church event. Good communication is what turns a bunch of individuals into a team. And that's why I like rapid radios.

Tonight, Glenn sets the record straight about our immigration story in a revolutionary media experience. Watch it only@torch250.com.
Glenn Beck
I want to. I'm gonna give you some hope here. I want to talk to you about tonight. I've got my special on immigration, and it's the truth on immigration and, you know, birthright citizenship. Yesterday, this was. This is a poison pill for America, and it's really, really dangerous. And we don't survive unless somebody fixes this. And you know that, you know, we are faced. I mean, we had socialists win again. Deep, deep socialists. These are not like, hey, I think we should be more like Sweden socialists. These are deep socialists. I'll get into that next hour. They won last night in Colorado. That's in the center of the country, gang. But to give you hope, I want to take you back to. I can't believe I'm seeing this. And I hate these things. I'm gonna take you to an opera, which I absolutely hate. Opera. I love this one song. Can you play a little clip of this? I love this one song, mainly because it's in every mob movie. You know this song, right? You don't know what it says. You don't know what it means. You're just like, oh, it's the fat clown, right? Crying. Or is that a different opera? I'm not really sure.
Jason
Okay.
Glenn Beck
So listening to this song, this song matters. Okay? This is From Turandot. It's Puccini's opera. Never seen it, but apparently, you know, if you could. If you could read. If they would put subtitles on, maybe a few of us would go. But anyway, A prince named Caliph falls in love with the Princess Turandot. And she has sealed herself behind fear and power and impossibly cruel condition conditions. If she. If somebody wants to seek her hand for marriage, he has to answer three riddles. And failure means death. Okay, well, Caliph succeeds. Yet victory doesn't end the struggle. Instead, he offers her a challenge of his own. If she can discover his name before dawn and she can have him executed. I don't know. Is she a lesbian? I don't know what the problem is with getting married in this thing. I. I didn't look that deeply. But the entire city is drawn into this search of who this guy is. And fear spreads through the streets. Nobody is allowed to rest. No one's allowed to sleep. Find out who this guy is. That's the setting of this song called Nessen Dorma. None Shall Sleep.
Ricky
That's.
Glenn Beck
None Shall Sleep. That's the name of that song. Now, standing in the middle of that tense and fearful night, Caliph sings alone. Everyone around him is consumed by uncertainty, but he is absolutely convinced that dawn will bring not his death, but a different outcome. And the aria builds to, you know, one of the most famous climaxes in all of music where he says, vincero. Vincero. What does that mean? What does Vincero mean? It means I will win. The power of that song, the reason why it speaks to you, even though you don't know the story and you don't know what it says, it speaks to you. Because the song is not found in triumph already achieved. It comes from the confidence maintained before the outcome is known. It's somebody. It's the sound of somebody standing in the darkness, surrounded by absolute doubt. By everybody holding fast to the belief that morning is coming and mourning is bringing a different outcome than everybody else thinks. That's why this aria has endured far beyond the opera itself. It speaks to something larger than romance. It's a conviction that fear doesn't have the final word. Now, let me give you a little the reason why I know the story. Cause I looked it up. Because I was curious. Why does Donald Trump always end all of his rallies with that song? Because I didn't know this story. He ends these rallies with that song. It's a voice carrying a certainty that nobody else can see. Yet. Vincero. I will win. Now for a lot of Politicians. That would be the whole message. But I think for Donald Trump, it operates on two different levels at once. The first, clearly obvious, it's personal. Trump has spent his entire public life cultivating. Cultivating the image of a man who walks into impossible situations believing that he can prevail. Business setbacks, political opposition, criminal investigations, impeachments, election battles, relentless criticism. The Iran thing, all of it. And yet the central theme remains consistent. This fight's not over. You have no idea. The verdict is not final. The story is still being written. Tomorrow brings a surprise. Now that confidence, whether admired or criticized, is inseparable from Donald Trump. When the tenor reaches the summit and declares victory, supporters hear an echo of the quality they associate with Trump more than any other. They don't know it because they don't know the story. It's the refusal to concede psychologically before things are finished. But like I said, there's another layer, and I think it's a larger one. The song arrives at the end of his rallies because the rallies themselves are not about one man. They're about a story. And it's the story, his audience, that you. That I believe about our country. It's a feeling that something precious is truly being lost here. Being lost. A belief our institutions have become distant to us, to the people. A sense that the cultural confidence has been weakened. A conviction that decline is not natural nor inevitable. The crowd doesn't say, I will win. We hear a nation saying it. We hear our families saying it. Communities saying it. We're not done. People who feel dismissed and ignored and pushed aside. I'm not done. The song gives voice to a hope that history is not finished with us. The future remains open. Renewal is possible. That dawn will follow, even the darkest of nights. That's why this choice is so fascinating. Because the story of Turandot is not about force. It's not. It's endurance. It's about carrying conviction through uncertainty. It's about holding onto a belief while surrounded by doubt, while everyone else is saying, let's look at what they've done. Look at what they've done in the Supreme Court yesterday. We're done. We're not going to make it. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. You don't know how this story ends yet. An entire city spending a night searching frantically for an answer. That was us yesterday. What's the answer? What's the answer? And somewhere there are many of us holding on to a certainty. I don't know. I don't know how it works out, but I know it works out. And that is the contrast that matters. We are not a political movement that draw our energy from anger. We don't. Some draw it from fear we can't. Others draw it from resentment. We mustn't. What we must express is resolve, persistence, the determination to continue standing when everyone is saying collapse. The confidence that a frozen situation is going to thaw. What appears settled is going to change. What appears lost is going to return. And the music swells and the crowds cheerful. And that final note hangs in the air. And for a brief moment the distinction between the man and the movement becomes blurred. The victory being sung belongs to both personal and political victory, cultural victory, a spiritual victory. Not a promise that success is guaranteed, not a claim that the battle is going to be won, but a declaration. Surrender is unnecessary. Despair is premature. The future hasn't rendered its verdict yet. And so it closes with the message that reaches beyond the campaign and the policy and the elections. The message carried by a voice pushing through the darkness toward the morning. Hold on. Night's not forever. The story's not over, Vincero. We will win. We are sitting at a red light. The driver behind you lays on the horn. You don't think much of it. Light turns green. You go. Few blocks later, he comes flying around you, slams on his brakes, blocks the road. Before you even have time to process what's happening, he's out of his car. He's stomping towards you on the driver's side. He's on the at the door yelling, pounding on the window. Gonna roll the window down? Yeah, I'm going to only a little. Just to introduce my new friend to the burner launcher. That's what I'm gonna do. I will win. It gives you a powerful less lethal operation or option for defending yourself. It fires kinetic and chemical irritant projectiles that can stop a threat from as far away as 60ft, giving you the opportunity to create distance and and to get to safety. It's legal in all 50 states. Requires no background check, no permit for purchase. It was designed for exactly this kind of moment when walking away isn't possible. But lethal force is not the right answer. That's the capability I think every responsible American should have on hand. Visit byrna.com find the right launcher for your family. It's Byrna by r n a.com underneath left and right labels is a common craving for truth. Feed yours@glennbeck.com Glenn Beck is on. Immigration is not a suicide pact. Watch the brand new documentary the Golden Door From Ellis island to the White House tonight on Torch. Oh, is it really not a suicide pact? Because I think it is. I think it is. I mean, let's just let everybody in. What's the problem? They don't have to think like we do. Sure, they want to kill us. What's the problem with that? Why does happen to us? Does anybody remember 9, 11? Is anybody really. Has anybody thought about what China is doing? Let's see, I can drop in a lady from China, she can have a baby. Then she can take that baby, bring it over to the former, I mean over to the cccp and they can train it to hate America. And then that child can come over here with a passport, vote, do whatever, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. What is wrong with you? Was it Alito that was talking about this yesterday? That was so strong, Somebody yesterday said this is unreasonable. It's unreasonable. And I have to tell you, I think, I mean, one of the things that has to be done is we have to just start arresting all of these people. You're coming over here. I think we should have break checks, you know, hey, look, we do it with our cattle. I do it on the ranch. I hate to sound like Theodore Roosevelt, but we do it with our cattle, with a pregnancy check. Why can't we do it with our immigrants? Sorry, just kind of quoting Theodore Roosevelt. Uh, I mean, you've got, you cannot have this happen. It is national suicide. Let me, let me show you this. This is from the Golden Door. This is our special tonight at 8 o'. Clock. It actually starts around 7:30 with going live with Jason. Then I sit down and we start the special at 8. And then we'll have question and answer with the insider. If you're torchy, you'll know right where to get it. It's usual place on your app or whatever. If you haven't joined the torch, please join the torch. Go to torch250.com the golden door from Ellis island to the White House. Let me show you one of the things we're covering tonight. Here's cut six. They don't come here because America is just like any other place. They come here because we are different. We stand for eternal truths, individual liberty, equal justice under the law, the right to rise as far as your talent and your character will take you. That's the magnet, that's the Golden Door. She's holding the lamp and in the other hand, she's holding the law. But we're now experiencing some sort of massive psyop. I think it's a Deliberate campaign to change what immigration means to America and to the people who want to come here and become us. Decades of globalization and political maneuverings by opportunistic politicians and a slow steady of progressive manipulation, bit by bit quietly rewrote the American story. And the message changed from come here, be who you were born to be, be an American, adopt our ideology and find within you greatness. Contribute to the last great outpost of liberty in a very direct dark world to now, I don't know, show up, be a body, be a statistic, integration, whatever. Assimilation, meh. It's kind of old fashioned. We don't need you to believe what we believe anymore. What you believe is just fine. That's cultural suicide. And that's how it was packaged and sold to us, dressed up as kindness. I go into the kindness thing with some celebrity sots where they're actually, they're actually sitting down in think tanks and they're. They're talking about what it mean, what Emma Lazarus Paul means. Give us your tide, your po. That. That is. We're a hospital. We are not a hospital. We're not. Such an insane thought. It's not who we are. You want to learn the truth? You want to know. You want to be able to defend it? You want to know where we need to point to as a nation on immigration? Make sure that you're watching tonight. The Golden Door. I invite you to join us on our mission to save the Republic. Join us now. Torch250.com hello America.

Jason, can you tell me we're in Washington D.C. you've been saying all show that I'm gonna be someplay. I'm gonna be on stage at 2 o' clock today, but also the Mercury one, little mini museum, little booth where we're gonna be, you know, from time to time this weekend is left of the merry go round. And I said I'm not left of anything but the merry go round. Sure, it's to the right of the merry go round.
Ricky
I think it was your rantings that actually changed it last minute.
Glenn Beck
I think they did, yeah.
Ricky
Because of that.
Nate Friedman
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
We're gonna have a ride of the merry go round. That's where we are. If you are not, if you haven't heard, go back and listen to today's show, the podcast. I tell you a story of what's really going on here in Washington dc. It is phenomenal. I've never seen anything like it. And you will never see anything like it again. This dwarf dwarfs every independent celebration the country has ever had. They're setting several world records this weekend. The one I can't wait for is Saturday, the fireworks show. The Macy's fireworks show is about 800 and this is not exactly right because it's like the pyrotechnic devices. Yeah, whatever. So let's just say the shells instead. The. The largest fireworks show ever in America is about 80,000 shells. Okay. This one is 850,000 shells. This is 10 times bigger than anything that has ever happened in America. It's the largest ever in the world. Some of these fireworks are a quarter, quarter of a mile wide. It's going to be incredible. If you're anywhere in the Washington, D.C. area, come and you won't believe how safe and how clean it is. I mean, the marble's actually white. Who knew? Who knew? And the lawns have been mowed again. Who knew it could be done? It's incredible. All right, bad night for the Republic yesterday in Colorado because the Democratic socialists have won again. What does this mean? I'm going to explain here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. You can be a customer of a company for 20 years and have absolutely no idea what they're doing with the profits you help them make. You just pay the bill every month. They provide a good service. The end of the relationship. Right until the day you find out. Wait a minute, wait a minute. You've been using some of these profits to prop up Planned Parenthood? I don't want to dime up my money going to that. That's an uncomfortable feeling. The good news is you don't have to just shrug your shoulders and accept it. Now they have all of the networks, the big three, they built the whole system. So you gotta have access to those networks, but you don't have to give them all of your money. Okay? Patriot Mobile, they're America's only Christian, Christian conservative wireless provider. And they have donated millions of dollars to organizations that defend faith, family, free speech, the Second Amendment life, and our first responders and veterans. So you'll get access to all three major nationwide networks. And in a few minutes, you can be doing business with a company that is fighting for the things you believe in, not against them.

All right, so Milot Kairos won yesterday and she won in the Democratic primary. Now, I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I know that I saw her speech, she is a Democratic socialist. Yesterday, in fact, let me see if we have this audio. Yesterday we had Mom Donnie. Yeah. Cut to. Listen to this. Listen to this. This is Mom Donnie. And we raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers instead of taking more from those with the least. Throughout this process, I've been reminded of the Words of the Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek. If socialists understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists. These past months have shown us anything. It is that socialists not only understand economics just as well as the capitalists who came before, but that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles. They've been in office for, what, less than a year? We've proven it. Every single socialist experiment fails, fails. So Melot wins yesterday in Colorado, and she says, we're taking our system back and we're taking our country back. What do you mean you're taking your country back? Because that's what everybody was saying about the Tea Partiers. What do they mean by we're taking our country back? What does that mean? Well, I know what it means. It. It means we're returning to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. When you're talking about getting rid of capitalism, you're not taking it back. So the question is, is this. Is this just the edges of the party, or is this going to be. Is this a death knell for the next election? Because that's what they always say about the republic. When you have somebody who's a constitutional. He's an extremist. He's crazy. He hates the government. He's. He's totally on the edge. He's a danger. These guys are not getting that rap from the press, of course, but have they gone too far for the average Democrat? I don't know. I don't know. One of the biggest mistakes Recoup Republicans could make right now is believing. We've seen this movie before. We haven't seen this. Okay? People are like this. The Democratic Tea Party. No, it's not. It's really not the Tea Party. I was part of that. You may have been part of that. What was it? We were asking America not to become something new. We were asking America to do something traditional, to become something old again. Okay, remember what those rallies look like? The pocket Constitution, guys. My son turned into one yesterday on the airplane. He had a pocket constitution. I'm like, I'm not going to tell you, but in my day, that made you really super nerdy. But pocket Constitution, The Don't Tread on Me flags, the people quoting the Declaration of Independence dressed up as Ben Franklin and George Washington. I mean, wow, that's radical. They were not demanding that Washington seize industries or redistribute wealth. They were not saying, eat the rich. They were arguing that Washington had forgotten its own limits. Whether you agreed with them or not, their argument was restorative you could say, I don't want to go back there. But they wanted less government, lower debt, a return to constitutional principles. They were like, let's do it the old way. They're extremists now. Those same voices are calling democratic socialism the future. Think of that. One movement wanted to get the government to shrink. The other believes the government should regulate more, spend more, own more, forgive more, guarantee more, direct more of the economy. These are not mirror image. They are opposites. And here's something else that nobody seems to notice. Every successful socialist movement in history claimed to represent the workers. This is so important. Where are the workers today? Where are they? Today's movement represents the graduates. Look where all the energy comes from. The elite universities, the prestigious media, the non profits, the government bureaucracy, the professional advocates, the activists, the commanding height of culture. Karl Marx predicted the revolution would come from the factory floor. Instead, it seems to be coming from the faculty lounge. So now here's the question, and we don't know the answer to this. We'll find out in November. Will the average Democrat buy it? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I was looking at some polling last night from Gallup, found something fascinating. Americans still view capitalism more favorably than socialism, 54% to 39%. But that's crazy socialism. People are actually talking about communism now. But here's what's more interesting. Take capitalism out of it. The free market. Do you support small businesses and the free enterprise? 95% have a positive view of small business. With the free market, 81% say free enterprise is good. 81%. It's language. The anger here is not directed to the local hardware store. It's directed at concentrated corporate power, and that matters. The average Democrat is not sitting around dreaming about nationalizing industries. They're trying to buy groceries, they're trying to make rent. They're trying to pay for childcare. They don't want a revolution. They want relief. They want somebody who actually standing up for them, who's listening to them. That is an incredibly interesting split inside of the Democratic Party. The activist class is talking about restructuring everything. The average voter is like, I just want my eggs to come down in price. These are two entirely different conversations. And even the Democrats themselves know it. They know it. Recent polling found large majorities of Democratic voters wanting new leadership. They want their party focused on kitchen table economics, not cultural battles. And this where it gets even more interesting. Socialism has always promised equality, but eventually every socialist movement runs right into the same wall. What is that wall? This is why the common Core was so important. The wall is math. It's math. Somebody has to build, somebody has to invent, somebody has to risk failure. Somebody has to create wealth before somebody can take it away from them. The bill always comes due. So I don't know if the Democrats have jumped the shark or not, or they're just way ahead of the curve. I don't know. That's the right question. Maybe a better question. Has the activist class become so convinced of its own moral certainty that it no longer knows how ordinary people actually live? I was walking around Washington, D.C. last night, and they have the President in a cage now. I mean, you can't get. You can't get within two blocks of the White House now. It's only for this weekend, I found out. But I'm looking at what we're turning into, our political class, with the violence and everything. You're not going to get near this stuff. I remember you could walk in. I could just walk in to the Capitol Building. You just walk in. Not doing that. Now we have a bell in our. In our history vault. We have a bell that used to sit at the front door of the White House where you could walk in and hit this bell. This is Lincoln's time. Hit that bell and say, I want to see the President. And somebody would come down and say, okay, yeah, sit down here and he'll see you in a minute. We have the bell, the service bell, now serving number 23.
Ricky
You can't.
Glenn Beck
You can't get within two blocks of the White House. These guys are going to become more and more elite. But history offers this warning, and it's this. Political parties usually don't collapse because the other side defeats them. They collapse because their leaders begin speaking a language that their own voters no longer recognize. Why have you fallen away from the Republican Party? Because they're speaking a language that you're like that. That's not what I'm saying. That's not what any of my friends are saying. My friends aren't for any of that stuff. What are you talking about? That's what's happening to the Democrats. The Democrats. I think I could be wrong, but I think they have gone so far. They are speaking like they're giving this message that sounds like a graduate seminar. And all you're saying is, can somebody help me with the price of eggs? You got a real problem if that's who you are. And that's the real test, not whether socialism excites activists on social media. Of course it does. The real thing is, does a dad who's working overtime or a mom balancing two jobs, believe another layer of government control is actually going to make tomorrow better than today. And what they believe about small business and the free market, that's a hard sell. But the answer to that is going to determine not just the future of, you know, the Democratic Party, but whether America remains a country that rewards those who build or one that increasingly rewards those who promise to divide what others have already built. And I want to get into that at the bottom of the hour. I want to take a quick break here, and I want to tell you, you know, you don't know. Everybody says we gotta be more like Europe. Really, do we? This is working out. We gotta be more like Sweden. You have no idea what Sweden has done since the 1990s, do you? They have no idea what Sweden has done. Let me set the record straight on Swedish and Norwegian socialism, because it's not what you think it is. Before I get into the. The Swedish socialism, I. I want to. When they say we're taking our country back, they're. They're not taking their country back. They are saying at the same time, they want to fundamentally transform. This is what Obama used to say. Five days away from the fundamental transformation of America, and they have transformed us.
Stew
That is.
Glenn Beck
Let me give you this. Let me give you this picture going into a museum, and I want you to picture you're in the Louvre, and there's a guy standing there. Two guys standing there. One has traveled a thousand miles, maybe the other side of the earth, to come see his favorite painting, a painting he adores. He loves the Mona Lisa, and he's standing there for a long time, and he's studying every brushstroke, every shadow, every tiny little detail that survived more than 500 years. And he's looking at the curator. He's like, I just love this. And the curator smiles like, I know, I know. It's great, isn't it? But, says the guy, I love this, but I think it could be better. I mean, the smile should be bigger. I'm thinking about buying it. How much? Somebody from Texas? How much for that painting up there on that wall? Because I can change it. I can make it better. You know, the background kind of feels a little dated. Let's put a modern skyline behind her. Maybe lose the dark clothing. It's a little out of date. Let's give her something more current that she's wearing and make her smile, because that smile sucks. But I love this painting. By the time he's finished, the curator is looking at him like, dude, are you kidding me? And the man looks at him and
Ricky
is like, what's wrong?
Glenn Beck
I told you I love that painting. No, no, no. You didn't love that painting. You loved your idea of what that painting should be. If you love the painting, your first instinct would not be to erase everything that makes it what it is you want. The first thing you wanted to change was her smile. There's a difference between restoring something and replacing it. And everybody understands that. You know, an old church begins to crumble. If you love the church, you repair the stone. You don't bulldoze it and build a casino in its place. Your grandfather's watch stops running. You fix the gears. You don't melt it down and make earrings out of it. Can you imagine saying to your wife, honey, I love you. Try this. Honey, I love you so much. I love. I love everything about you. If I could just fundamentally transform everything about you, I mean, what. What would your night be like? You don't love her, and she'd know it. You love the person you wish she would become. Love begins with accepting the identity of the thing you claim to love. You help it grow. You help it heal. You call it back when it loses its way. That's what the Tea Party was trying to do. You've lost your way. We love you. We know who you are. We know what you are not. We don't want to transform you. We want to restore you. You don't erase the character and then congratulate yourself for saving it. Obviously, I'm not talking about painting. I'm talking about America. We keep hearing politicians on the left fundamentally transforming the United States. We're calling our country back. You're not. You're fundamentally transforming it. Not to improve, not to restore, not to renew, but to transform. Those are very different things. Restore and renew and transform. America has an identity. It has a beginning. It has first principles. It has a reason for existing. And the reason is not hidden. It's right there. Our Founding Fathers put it in the Declaration of Independence. That's our country. Just be honest. You want to transition, transform it. You want to get rid of that mission statement and replace it with something else. We know who you are. Does America know who America is? That's the question we're going to find out, I think, in this next election. More in a minute. Let me talk to you about Relief Factor. There are certain things that you don't really appreciate until the day they become hard. Climbing a flight of stairs, opening up a jar, getting off the floor after playing with your kids, you know, carrying groceries in from the car. Most of your life, you don't even think about those things. But your body, after a lifetime of work, somebody has to pay that bill. You know, one day something starts hurting. You realize all those everyday moments were not little. They were freedoms. When Tanya first suggested I started taking relief factor, my hands were hurting so much. Things were becoming impossible. I didn't think I would ever be able to write by hand anymore. I didn't think I could paint. I didn't, I didn't think this would help. I really didn't. And she's like, I'm not gonna listen to you anymore unless you try everything. And so I did. Oh, that's exactly how she sounds, by the way. So I started taking relief factor and it changed. And she was right. Please try it. Three week quick start. Get it for 1776. That patriotic price right now. 17 pursue your happiness. Pain free.

Glenn Beck
I gotta give you this Scandinavian socialist stuff because I, I've, my staff and I have been doing research on this now for the last what about week. And I don't think, you know, these, they're trying to still sell. Some of it, some of it they're trying to still sell. As you know, we gotta be more like Sweden. That's not what they mean anymore. And if you know the truth about Sweden and the Norwegian countries, they gave up on socialism. Now they have big state stuff, but they are more free market than we are now. The changes that they began to make in the 90s, it's astounding. And I'm going to give you that tomorrow because I got to come back to this, this woman that just won in Colorado. Can we play the audio here of what she said in, in Colorado about 9 11?
Ricky
Yes, here she is. Do you believe that the 911 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence
Glenn Beck
of American foreign policy? Inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the Middle east that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response. And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence. Stop. Do you totally disagree with that answer? Yes. Why?
Ricky
I mean it's the typical blame the rape victim. You get Attacked from whatever we did. And the reason why. Their justification for 911 is when we had to land in Saudi Arabia or do operations from Saudi Arabia. That was their main beef. They were like, if you do this, we will attack you. And we were actually liberating a Muslim country during that time from Saddam Hussein. I don't agree with blaming the victim for anything when it comes to anything like this.
Glenn Beck
I don't. And I'm not. I said totally disagree because I agree with you on that. We did nothing that deserves that, okay? However, I think the question should be asked because this is. This is where we always go wrong. You know, we. We teach our kids about the red, white and blue, and it's great, and America is great. It's better than any other country. Name the country that hasn't made these kinds of mistakes, okay? We do nothing to deserve that kind of stuff. However did we make mistakes? Do we? Did we? Are we the nation that we claim to be? See, I. Because I think the people are. The American people are those people that we think of as red, white and blue and just want to do the right thing and help each other and help, you know, help other countries, et cetera. That's what's really in our heart. But that's not what our government's been doing. Our State Department had been so out of control until Marco Rubio. I mean, for a hundred years, we've been saying we don't tolerate. We don't tolerate torture. Pick him up in the CIA ghost plane and take him over to Egypt and we'll torture him there. I mean, how do you not hate a country like that? Again, not to say we deserve that. I'm just saying we did not. We're not living up to our values. The best example of this is what the Statue of Liberty really is all about. The Statue of Liberty was given to us. And we get into this in the special tonight a little bit. The Statue of Liberty was not a gift. France doesn't. France doesn't give gifts like that. Who gives gifts like that? You sure you don't have. Are you sure they don't have one like it? I mean, at least they knew that. You know what I mean? But when you give something that big, what if we didn't like it? It's not like you can take it out when the French people come. French are coming. Quick, put the statue back up. Who gives something like that? What an arrogant thing to give. Okay. Anyway, they didn't care about us, really. Honestly, what they were trying to do was Trying to teach the socialists and the Marxists that were in the communes. All of this stuff was heating up in Europe. It's exactly like it is now. And some people got together and said, that's not the answer. The answer is America. Because at that time, we were not beating our chest. We were not saying, look at us. We're going to bring it over to you now, and you're going to do it our way. Look at. That's what. That's why they gave us a Statue of Liberty. Because they were saying to their own people, help us raise money to celebrate their 100th anniversary. But they were doing it so they could preach what was happening in America. The same thing. Germans were doing it with the George Washington crossing the Delaware painting. That's not an American painting. It wasn't even painted for Americans. It was painted for the Germans who were dealing with Marxists and saying, look, they got a farmer, they've got a mountain man. They even have a woman and a black and an African and an Indian American in the boat with a president and a future president. They're all in the boat together. That's what that painting was for. And it was meant for Germans, not Americans. The best example of this is just live it, and people will eventually notice. How do I know that? Go to Instagram. Look at what people who are coming over for soccer are saying about us. They love us. They don't love our policies. They don't love that. That's not. That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about the people and the way we live compared to them. If you're beating your chest, nobody wants to hear it, but if you're just living it, you know, that's. That's how. That's how. That's why I want. That's how I start conversations with Christians. When I hear a Christian talk all the Christian crap, and they're like. And you know. And you know who's not as good as I am? I have no. I don't want to talk to you. I just don't want to talk to you. You know why my church is superior? No, I don't. And I'm really not going to ask any more questions, but I will talk to anyone who. Their life is together and they're happy and they're Christlike. Then I want to know about their church. I want to know about them. Not because they're preaching to me, because they're living it. That's the secret here. These guys talk a good game about America, but they're not living it, and it is dangerous. Did you hear what Jay Powell said? Jay Powell, do we happen to have this. J. Pal has come out, said yesterday that we have to let more communists in. The Democrats have to start to accept communists. Not socialists. Communists. Remember, it was we're not socialists. Now it's, we're not communists, but we should allow them in. Soon. You're going to be just telling you, yeah, we're all communists. We're Islamist communists. That's what's happening to us. And we are letting these people. Ricky, tell me how this woman that won in. In Colorado yesterday, tell me how she got into the country.
Jason
Her family immigrated through a diversity visa lottery. They came from Ethiopia, which. Ethiopia, in the 90s. Don't blame them for coming here. But yeah, we just randomly said, hey, apply. And then if you're a country that we don't have enough immigrants here, come on in. And so he did. And they just.
Glenn Beck
Can I ask you what. I wouldn't say that about the English. I mean, I'm supposed to be a racist, so I'm supposed to like people like me. I wouldn't say that about the. You know what we don't have enough of. We don't have enough English. I don't give a flying crap. You know, we don't have enough of people from other countries that love our country.
Jason
Amen.
Glenn Beck
That's what we don't have. I don't care what country you are, what color you are, what creed you are. I don't care. The diversity only makes you strong when the diverse come together and are unified around one organizing principle. That's what matters. If you. If you want to be able to teach this, if you want to be able to see this in action, watch tonight. Torch 2:50. I was told by Ricky the bean counter, she's like, we need 800 subscribers.

It did cost us a lot of money because it's really good. And it, it will take you and show you the real meaning. And I start out right from the beginning. No. No more immigration. None. Until we can get it right. Until we can understand it's not about diversity. It's not about diversity. You know what if everybody who came in in the next hundred years were all black, but they loved the country, the founding, the story. They were hardworking entrepreneurs. They got it. I don't care. I don't care. You could be as diverse as you want as long as we unify on the principles of this country. And you'll really understand that, you will see what this is about, why we have immigration and why what we're doing is a suicide pact. Watch it with your family. It's a great fourth of July special, even though it's not about independence. The golden door tonight from the White House. No. So from Ellis island to the White House. Great, great story.

Glenn Beck
All right, so something happened yesterday because the Supreme Court said transgender sports. No, you're a biological male. You play male sports. Now, NBC reports this, and I want you to hear what NBC News, NBC News did yesterday. Listen, cut one, just a quick note here. The terms that we're using here during our reporting. Biological male, biological female. The highest court put those terms in quotations in their decision and their dissent. But just so you know, we're using those terms from the decision itself. Biological male, biological female.
Jason
God.
Glenn Beck
Okay. God, give me strength to be the man you would like me to be, not the man I really, really, really want to be right now. Let me, let me set this clip up a different way, the way I probably should have. Warning to the audience. A trigger warning. For those of you who are triggered by trigger warnings, I'm going to play a trigger warning from NBC News, and it's going to trigger you because when are we going to ever stop with this stuff? Here's what NBC said yesterday. And then you play it because I can't. I, I mean, oh, when are we going to be done with this that end. And I know I say it all the time, but I can't take the, the land recognition. You stole the land. Then give it back to them. Give it back. Obama. We, we all, we want to recognize we're on stolen land. Well, that you owned it. Why didn't you give it back to them? They would have loved to have that land. You have no intention of giving it back, so stop saying it. It only makes it if you stole it from me. I'm really pissed off that you keep saying, by the way, just bought up all this land but built a monument to me. And I want to recognize I stole it from those people over there. Oh, my gosh. Oh, can these people ever make sense? All I want is just a little bit of sanity. And one of the things that gives me drives me crazy because I'm a car guy. Jason's a car guy. One of the things that drives me crazy is you open up a hood of a car and you can't do anything anymore. You can't touch the engine. You're like, come on, guys. I mean, I understand you put the computer, you know, in a special locked box with Al Gore and all the money from Social Security. I get that. But I can't touch anything on the engine.
Ricky
No.
Glenn Beck
I got to go to you the experts. What happened yesterday, Jason, the president signed
Ricky
an executive order that it's a, it's a right to repair order so that they're at least making it to where they don't enforce some of these insane laws that they were actually going after people, arresting people in some cases.
Glenn Beck
You got to be kidding.
Ricky
Doing these. No, no kidding.
Glenn Beck
You got to be kidding because. Because I own the car manufacturers were
Ricky
like, especially it's mostly done with through emission systems. So they did not. They and manufacturers were making their own like ecm, you know, modifications so that you could not actually go in and mess around with these things.
Glenn Beck
I've hacked them.
Ricky
Oh my. Well, some people there were YouTubers that were actually like. There were EPA like enforcement officers and such a thing.
Glenn Beck

Episode: WAKE UP: Another Socialist Wins in the MIDDLE of America | 7/1/26
Date: July 1, 2026
Host: Glenn Beck (Mercury Radio Arts)
This episode of The Glenn Beck Program centers on recent leftward political trends in America—specifically, the victory of a Democratic Socialist in Colorado—and uses this event as a gateway to a broader discussion about American identity, historical narratives, citizenship, immigration policy, and the massive 250th Independence Day celebrations in Washington, D.C. Glenn delivers his musings with a blend of commentary, storytelling, analogy, and passionate rhetoric, aiming to rally listeners against what he sees as a dangerous turn toward socialism, cultural fragmentation, and historical amnesia.
Major Event Preview: Glenn offers vivid descriptions of the unprecedented scale of the upcoming Washington, D.C. celebrations, critiquing the media for ignoring what he calls “the most spectacular thing ever done for any anniversary of the United States.”
Contrasting Celebrations: Opines on cultural differences through comparing California’s El Cajon event, critiquing its heavy emphasis on diverse community stories and land acknowledgments over traditional patriotic themes.
Personal Reflections: Beck and his team recount their own awe upon seeing DC’s festive transformation and sparse (primarily Trump-supporting) crowds.
Birthright Debate: Inspired by a conversation with his son about the 14th Amendment, Glenn dives into historical intentions behind citizenship laws, referencing Justice Clarence Thomas’s dissent.
Immigration as "Suicide Pact": Glenn frames current U.S. immigration policy as recklessly open and vulnerable to exploitation, repeating calls for “common values” and selective assimilation.
Promotion of Documentary: Repeated mentions of his forthcoming special, "The Golden Door: From Ellis Island to the White House," which claims to set straight the history and ideology of American immigration.
Independent Journalism & Anti-Semitism: Features segments from journalist Nate Friedman investigating Islamic influence and open anti-Semitism in Patterson, NJ.
Media & Movies: Citizen Vigilante:
Storytelling Segment:
Writing Process:
Restoration vs. Transformation:
Colorado Socialist Victory:
Polling and Political Divide:
International Models:
National Identity & Assimilation:
Opera Analogy & Hope:
On Media Ignoring DC's Celebrations:
“I swear to you, the press hates Donald Trump so much, they will sell us down the river. This is the most spectacular thing that has ever been done for any anniversary of the United States... You're not hearing about it.” (12:28)
On the New Socialist Victory:
“We had socialists win again. Deep, deep socialists. These are not like, ‘Hey, I think we should be more like Sweden’ socialists. These are deep socialists. I'll get into that next hour.” (67:39)
On Modern “Restoration” vs. “Transformation”:
“There’s a difference between restoring something and replacing it. ... If you love the church, you repair the stone. You don’t bulldoze it and build a casino in its place.” (103:53)
On Decline of Assimilation:
“The message changed from, come here, be who you were born to be, be an American... To now, I don't know, show up, be a body, be a statistic... assimilation, meh. ... That’s cultural suicide.” (86:50)
On Socialism's Actually Urban/Elite Roots:
“Karl Marx predicted the revolution would come from the factory floor. Instead, it seems to be coming from the faculty lounge.” (95:00)
If you're interested in patriotic history, conservative analysis of current events, and Glenn Beck's signature blend of storytelling, cultural critique, and polemic, this episode covers major themes in today's American political landscape—especially the ongoing debate over who and what America is and should be.
