Biden White House Leaves Talk Show Host at a Loss for Words | 7/5/23

I have been in the desert for the last, what, 10 days?

And it is hot here.

The one thing that is really nice is to have sweat block on your side.

When you have sweat block, you don't have sweat tacos, which Stu had never heard of.

Apparently, he's never been around sweaty people.

And that's the big

rings under your arms.

You hold out your arms and it's like tacos.

You put meat there and then the sweat tacos hold it together.

It's a nice visual that you've brought into my life, and I want to thank you for that.

You're welcome.

Well, get sweatblock and you won't have any of those problems.

And you can put on the wipes and you wipe under each arm

like really once a week and it's and you're done.

It is such groundbreaking stuff.

It is really great.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Well, hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

The Biden administration's been having a real tough time in the courts.

Now a lower court has

said that the White House is not allowed to communicate with social media companies.

Looks like they're getting more than a slap on a wrist, no final decision yet, but that's pretty incredible in a defense of the First Amendment.

I thought we would go over the Constitution and the amendments and the Declaration of Independence.

Seeing that we never ever seemed to read it, I thought it might be a good time to go over it on this 5th of July.

We begin in 60 seconds first.

You had a great 4th of July.

I hope you did.

One of the ways I like to celebrate freedom is by throwing, you know, really good meat on the grill.

Sorry, Klaus Schwab, no bugs, no bugs.

They fall in between the slats on the grill.

Otherwise, I'd be eating them bugs.

Oh, eat the bugs.

Yeah, so good.

Anyway,

if you just couldn't, if you don't have a tight enough grill for all the crickets and maggots and whatever else they want you to eat, you can try steaks and beef and chicken and pork and some of the best fish you can get, all from Good Ranchers.

They source all of their high-quality beef and chicken from local farms and ranchers.

Every box that is ordered, Good Ranchers donates 10 meals to Americans in need.

That's over a million meals so far.

So you can do good while you ate good.

Head on over to goodranchers.com and use my promo code BEC, and you'll save $30 off any box.

And you also lock in the price of your meat for as long as you're buying your meat from Good Ranchers.

A year from now, you might really, really appreciate that.

So we wrapped up yesterday, I think, what, 10 days here in St.

George.

It was oversold

every single day.

It was really an amazing thing.

So many people were deeply, deeply moved and

broke down at different places all the way through.

Broke down.

Some of them broke down with the Pilgrims.

Others with the Declaration of Independence and the first draft.

Others were deeply moved by the black heroes in America for the

American Revolution.

George Washington, Lincoln, slavery was very powerful, section.

And of course, the Red Pilroom.

We had about 13,000 people come through.

We stopped yesterday afternoon, I think at 3 o'clock, and then immediately began breaking down.

And we open again, not tomorrow.

Is it tomorrow?

No.

No, it's, I think it is.

No, it's Thursday.

I'm so so screwed up.

But in case you lost track of time, it's Wednesday today.

So, yeah, I guess Thursday we open up.

So we're moving it.

The trucks are going to be on the road today.

Two massive 18-wheelers.

And we're going to be up in Idaho, and everything is sold out, but roll-a-dice.

Roll the dice.

I mean, I don't know.

But anyway,

I thought today is a great day to go through some of our documents because people stood at the Declaration of Independence for quite some time and read the whole thing.

And

we don't do that enough.

You know, how many times have you read, come on, be honest, the Constitution?

Yeah, me too.

So I think we should go through these because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it is the reason we're having all of the problems that we have today.

We're not following it.

Nobody knows it.

And how can you protect your rights if you don't know what they are?

So I thought I would start at the beginning.

You know, all of these rights that are talked about come from the pulpits.

The pulpits in the 1750s, 60s, and 70s were on fire.

And they were talking about, you know, kings being tyrants and you answer to God and you go directly to him.

And so when Thomas Paine wrote common sense, these things were common sense.

And I never, you know, I always thought, yeah, freedom is common sense.

When I was, you know, younger and a kid, I thought, common sense, yeah, we should all be free.

You could go to China and go to the rice patty and say, shouldn't you be free?

And they would say, of course, it's common sense.

No, it wouldn't be.

It would not be.

You have to noodle it out.

You have to be, you have to see that there is opportunity

that comes way before the government.

All of these rights that you have as an individual.

So it was common sense in America because they were preached in all of the pulpits,

all of these things.

It's where we get a lot of our lines from our Declaration of Independence.

And so

Thomas Paine pushes us into

the revolutionary era.

It's his pamphlet or his book called Common Sense that I think about 70% of the country had read and had a copy of, which is, I think it was a third of the households had a copy of it and 70, 75% read it

put that into perspective now can you think of anything that 75 percent of this population has read

anything

so they read it and they they realize yeah we should be free we should separate from um

from the uh

uh from the king

so I want to go through

some of this with you.

And let me see if I can get it.

Here we are.

So,

the summer of 76,

there are five guys that are chosen, and there is this vote that goes on.

And John Hancock, the guy with the big signature at the bottom, he said he signed his name that large because he wanted to be able to have King George read his name without his glasses on.

That's a pretty bold statement

because it was a death sentence and he knew it.

And so before they selected the people to write the Declaration, they all had to vote on, are we going to do this?

Do we want to break away from England?

And

everybody voted.

And it had to be unanimous.

There couldn't be anybody on the fence.

You had to be dedicated to it because, as he said, this is a death sentence.

We will most likely hang.

We will lose our fortunes.

We will lose maybe even our family and our families' lives.

And we will definitely be dead.

This is treason.

So everybody raise a hand if you want to commit treason with me.

And everybody raised their hand.

Then he said,

I think every word of this should be voted on.

Because if there is one colony that is not in step, if we don't all agree on every word then the king he's got his people everywhere and spies everywhere and he will find out where we we don't agree and his people will worm their way in and break us apart so we have to stay united so another vote do you think it all should be read and voted on separately line by line or paragraph by paragraph and uh be unanimous.

Everybody raised their hand.

Then they picked five people.

John Adams was one.

Benjamin Franklin was one.

And John Adams was actually selected to write it.

And John Adams, he was like,

I don't know.

Well, I was going to say Jeffy, but no.

He had so much more credibility.

He had never done anything with drugs or hookers.

So he was not like Jeffy, but

he was absolutely unlikable.

And I think that's like Jeffy, don't you think, Stu?

Just an unlikable human being.

Yeah, I mean, this is what science has said.

It's not us.

Yeah.

Thank you.

When you argue with us on that, you are arguing against science.

Against the science.

So,

yes.

So he said, I can't write this.

Nobody will vote for anything that I write because I'm unlikable.

And Benjamin Franklin said, you see that kid over there with the red hair?

I hear he's a great writer.

Let's ask him.

Thomas Jefferson had red hair.

He was from Virginia.

He wasn't even supposed to be there that day.

So they approach him and

ask him if he would write the Declaration of Independence.

So he did.

We have the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in our museum.

It is absolutely amazing, amazing.

And it's like a word document.

You can see who changed what.

There'd be a line through a sentence and then something written over that line.

And then off into the column, it will say, B.

Franklin, and the date.

It's amazing, amazing.

So what did they come up with?

Well, something that we don't ever read, and we should, because it's an amazing thing.

And we'll pick that up in 60 seconds.

First,

10 seconds, station ID.

You did that so well, Stu.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're such a professional.

It's really, really nicely done.

Appreciate it, Claude.

Thank you.

All right.

Well, welcome back to the program.

So Thomas Jefferson writes in Congress, July 4th, 1776.

Now, this is the final draft.

The unanimous declaration of the 13 United States of America.

Unanimous.

I'll explain again when we get to a part that was voted out.

The unanimous declaration of the 13 United States of America.

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them.

A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare their causes which impel them to separation.

So, in the first paragraph, here's Thomas Jefferson saying, Look, we're trying to be decent people here.

Now, our declaration is completely different than most declarations of war or of separation, because most of them, I mean, think of Black Lives Matter, think of Antifa.

It's a list of demands.

We demand this, this, this, and it's all just nasty.

And it doesn't really tell you anything that is uplifting and inspiring.

So the first paragraph says, look, we're trying to be decent people, and

we feel it's only common decency to tell you why we're breaking up.

So the second paragraph is key, and this is why the Declaration of Independence is so different.

Because he says, you don't know who we are.

You think you do, but you don't understand us.

And we've tried to talk to you about this a million times and you don't understand.

We hold these truths to be self-evident.

That all men are created equal.

And they're endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.

That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

So this is really a critical place.

Let me just tell you what it said in the original draft.

And I think it might have been Ben Franklin that changed this.

It said, we hold these truths instead of self-evident.

We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable.

That's different.

Better, I think, than

self-evident.

Sacred and and undeniable that shows that the king who says God appoints me

no we actually find that in in sacred scripture and and in the sacred world that's not true

we are all created equal and we have certain rights and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed so governments are instituted among men and they derive anything that is just

from the people

well that was the opposite of the king he's appointed by God and he'll tell you what's just the just powers come from the people the consent of the governed and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, what are those ends?

Just powers protecting your right.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

Now, wait a minute.

Why did they say that

the South couldn't break away from the United States?

It says it right here.

That it's the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

No,

that's not what it says.

When any form of government becomes destructive of these ends.

So if it was reversed and the federal government was saying, no, blacks don't have any rights and we're going to push slavery in other continents and other areas all around the world, which the South did,

then the South could have broken broken away and it would have been right and just and according to our Constitution because the government has become hostile

to those rights that it's supposed to protect and it is no longer doing anything just.

So

when you have just

and you have another

government that is going to go

to protect the rights better than the last one, then you can do it.

That's at least the way I read it.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, comma, not a period, and institute new government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its power in such a form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness.

So you can't just go to a Marxist country.

You can't just say, we're going to do, you know, communism.

Can't do it.

That's not what we are.

You have to

take into consideration the people's rights and form a new government that is more likely to protect those rights.

Then it goes into prudence indeed, and this is today.

Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.

And, accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while the evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

So true, and this is why progressivism,

this is the part that progressivism

takes

they take the role of taking it one little step at a time so you're not shocked by well like you are now with the Biden administration when they just start taking things and you're like wait wait what

progressivism takes it slowly So it's being boiled like a frog.

It starts out in cold water and slowly warms up and the frog doesn't jump out.

Don't have any idea if that's true or not, but that's the idea.

And we are much more likely to say,

you know what,

it's fine.

It's fine.

Instead of just flushing down everything we know.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, invinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism.

Listen to that.

When a long train of abuses, when things keep happening over and over again, and they all seem to be going in the same direction, which convinces you this is a design, that they're doing this intentionally

to rule over us and be despots or tyrants,

then

it says

what people should do, and we'll go there when we come back.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're going over our founding documents today because 4th of July, it's about hot dogs and, well, what used to be Bud Light

and fireworks.

And it's the 4th of July.

I think maybe we should pay attention to our independence and what came of those things because our forgetting of these documents and what they actually say that's the cause of all of our problems so let's just go through them and i was going through the beginning of the declaration of independence uh and we just got to the place when a long train of abuses and usurptations pursuing invariably the same object invinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism in other words when you start seeing and tell me if this doesn't sound familiar, when you start seeing the government and the administration, or in their case, the king, doing things

where

you're abusing things and everything just kind of happens to fall in favor of the king or out of favor of the people.

It's not good for the country and for freedom.

And it's over and over and over again.

And you're like, okay, this can't be a coincidence.

Then it says, it is their duty now i'm reading the declaration of independence i am not suggesting anything it is their duty to throw off such government but this is a comma as well and it is so important and provide new guards for their future security i don't want to throw off this government i want to live by the Constitution of the United States.

But I wouldn't mind throwing off some of the old guards because they're not protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States.

But that's why I say we cannot split.

We cannot go and leave.

You know, people are like, we should just secede.

No, they can.

I want these documents.

I want rule under these ideas because they're the best ever suggested.

So you can't just throw off such government.

You have to then provide new guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and now, with necessity, which constrains them to alter their former systems of government, the history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,

all having, in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.

To prove this, let the facts

be submitted to a candid world.

Now, let me go over some of these.

Some of these are old-timey, and I'm going to skip a couple of them, but

see if any of them have any relevance today.

One, he has refused his assent or his agreement to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Has the president withheld his signature

on anything that is wholesome, good, and necessary?

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his agreement should be obtained.

And when suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless these people would relinquish the right of representation in their legislature, a right

inestimable for them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of the public records and for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

So he's saying here, he's not passing laws, he's not agreeing to the laws, he's suspending the operation of his governors.

He is also taking the legislature and he's calling, he suspends them and then says, oh, you know what?

We're going to meet in

Fairbanks.

Wait, what?

Why are we going?

And then he's only moving them all around the country and the colonies.

So he tires them out.

He has dissolved the representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

That's a big one.

Can you imagine the president saying, we're suspending the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House?

I'm just closing it down.

So when people say, we should revolt,

they were going through a lot more and they exhausted decades, decades of trying.

He has refused for a long time after such dissolutions to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers have returned to the people at large for their exercise.

The state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions from within.

That's an interesting phrase.

He's obstructed the administration of justice by refusing to agree to laws for the establishing of judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount of payment of their salaries.

This one I think we're starting to see that we are we're making the judges dependent on a political party.

He has erected a multitude of new offices.

Listen to this one.

He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent swarms of officers to harass our people and to destroy their substance.

Wow.

He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has effected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.

I think that one's starting to happen.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws.

He has quartered large bodies of armed troops among us for protecting them by mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states.

I think that's happening in a different way to where

we're just letting murderers go.

for cutting off trade with all parts of the world.

That's kind of a biggie.

For imposing taxes on us without our consent.

Another really big one.

For depriving us, in many cases, the benefits of trial by jury.

Huge.

The transportation or the transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretend offenses.

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, for suspending our own legislature, declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases.

He's abdicated governments here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us, plundered our seas.

Now, listen to this.

You think we should go to war.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, or is it perfidy,

scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy of the head of a civilized nation.

It goes on, excited domestic insurrections among us.

Hmm.

Huh.

In every stage of these operations, we have petitioned for redress.

Now, let me give you one thing that they petitioned for that is in

the

first draft of the Declaration of Independence.

And it is important because everybody will tell you now that, oh my gosh, you know what we are?

We're a people that just, all we wanted to do was just have slavery.

We were built on slavery, and that's all we were built on.

No, in Thomas Jefferson's own handwriting, he wrote the last

usurptation.

Now I just read those to you.

They're one to two lines, except this one is half a page.

He wrote, and finally he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in the transportation thither.

This piratical warfare, so the warfare of pirates.

Who were the pirates at that time?

We fought them under Thomas Jefferson.

It was our first foreign war.

It is why our Marines are called leathernecks, because they actually put a big strip of leather under their chin down to their collarbone all around their neck.

because we were fighting these pirates who were Muslims and they would just chop the heads off of people while they were in battle.

So that's why our Marines are called leathernecks.

So the pirates at this time were the pirates, the Barbary Coast pirates, and they were

a plague on

all of free people because they would declare that if you were not Muslim, then they could just take your stuff and your people and make them slaves.

So he's saying that the king is using this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, and it is the warfare of the printed and underlined Christian king of Great Britain.

He's mocking him, saying how can he possibly call himself a Christian when he's acting like the pirates?

He is determined to keep an open market where capitalized men should be bought and sold.

And he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit and restrain this commerce.

And with this assemblage of horrors, he might want,

and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die,

he is now exciting those very people, in other words, the slaves, he's exciting those very people to rise in arms amongst us, so they may purchase their liberty for which he deprived them

and murder the people upon who he has also obtruded them, thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people with crimes he urges them to commit against the lives of another people.

That's Thomas Jefferson.

It goes on.

In every stage of this oppression, we have petitioned for redress.

He goes on and on and on about how

we've tried to do everything we can to stop this and everything else.

And he blocks us every way.

So

why wasn't that in the Declaration of Independence?

I just watched something on YouTube and they said it's because Congress didn't want any mention of slavery at all

and they were pro-slavery.

No, that's not why it isn't in.

It isn't in because the first draft does not say a unanimous declaration.

It says a declaration of independence from the United States of America Congress.

The final edition, as I told you a little while ago, had to be voted on by every state so the king could not split us apart.

So in a country of 13 colonies where everybody loved slavery, everybody just wanted to have more slaves so we could have more money and they did not care about people,

how many states voted against that paragraph?

Two.

South Carolina and Georgia, which I might point out, the guy voting in Virginia was Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that paragraph and wanted that paragraph in there.

That means 11 of the 13 colonies wanted to abolish slavery with the Declaration of Independence.

That, my friend, is the truth.

in case you didn't know the things you do with your money matter you can often affect change in this country with your wallet as much as you can with your vote.

One way of doing this is by buying things that are made here in America and really made here in America because a lot of people say that they're making things in America, but surprise, surprise, they're actually not.

They're not always telling the truth.

It's hard to know who to trust with this stuff, really.

But I can tell you at least one place you can always trust.

Those are the good four folks over at American Giant.

When you buy clothing from American Giant, you know that you're getting true American quality.

You'll notice the quality right away when you buy the stuff.

It's a product made with merit, made by people in this country for a fair wage.

Every stitch of thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink is made and assembled here in America.

And you're not just buying the clothing, you're investing in a process that will help save the country.

We need to get the independent spirit back.

American manufacturing has taken so many hits over the years, but American Giant is doing their part.

The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, 100%

American.

You can buy cheaper, and you're going to get cheaper quality made by workers overseas who aren't being paid a living wage, or you can buy quality that will last for generations.

The American Giant Patch means something.

There's an American giant in all of us.

It's American-giant.com slash Glenn.

American-giant.com slash G-L-E-N-N.

Now, an angry nation makes bad decisions.

Listen to the last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence and show me how far away we are from these people.

There's no anger in this.

Last paragraph.

We therefore, the representatives of the United States of America and General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the

recessitude of our intentions, do in the name and the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare these United Colonies are and right to be free and independent states and absolved from all allegiance to the British crown.

And for the support of this declaration and firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

That is incredible.

There is no hostility from start to finish.

It is, we need to tell you, why we are breaking away because we see things differently than you do.

And you keep getting in the way, and you won't listen to us on these.

And we have to live this way.

And so we're breaking up.

And we want to be enemies in war, but in peace, the Glen

Program.

We gotta stand together in the course of life.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

Today, I thought we would take the day

after we celebrated our independence by eating hot dogs and drinking beer and watching fireworks.

I thought today

we should spend some time with our founding documents and write some of the truths.

that have been so turned upside down by our educational system.

So we're going through the Declaration of Independence, which we did in hour number one and hour number two.

This hour, we're going to go through slavery,

what happened right after the Declaration of Independence, a little of our pilgrims,

and then we'll talk about the Constitution.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

First, Sarah, who's our sponsor this half hour?

American Financing NMLS 182334.

There's voice again.

I very love your

voices.

You've been gone.

How long have you been gone, Sarah?

You've been gone a month?

Yeah, just about.

Yeah, we missed you.

But the

voice gets buried.

She missed us.

The passion.

The passion.

Like, wow, we missed you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

Well, nice to have you back.

Anyway, let me talk to you a little bit about your debt.

Long-term, difficult to get out of debt.

The type that credit cards are very famous for producing.

Interest rates for credit cards tend to be in the 20% range, which is nuts if you think about it.

Low-interest mortgage refi might just be the thing to get you out from underneath something like that, but you have to be cautious.

You can get burned if you're not with the right loan company.

And this is why you need to reach out to American Financing.

They are saving homeowners about an average of $700 a month right now.

Their salary-based mortgage consultants will start with a free no-obligation savings review and they could help you close on a cash out refi of your home's mortgage, which could help you get a leg up on the expensive high-interest debts like those credit cards.

They have custom loans to fit almost everybody, so don't worry about your credit.

Check them out today and you'll see what I mean.

It's American Financing.

So I want to go through

some things that you might find on Wikipedia and some things you might not find on Wikipedia.

So on Wikipedia, you will find that the United States

began slavery, the institution of slavery was established in North America in the 16th century under the Spanish colonization.

Now, where is that?

That's Cuba and Florida, and they began in the late 1500s, early 1600s.

Then British colonization, where is that?

That's not with the pilgrims, that is with Jamestown.

The French also brought slavery.

Where?

Haiti and New Orleans.

And the Dutch colonialization, that is up north in the New York area.

So

we see that it's happening all over the world.

By the way, the majority of slaves that were imported from Africa went down to South America, mainly Brazil.

They took a lot more slaves in.

So I am not excusing slavery in America.

I am looking at it from a historic perspective.

You cannot take something out of the context of the time.

So let me just tell you a couple of things.

First of all,

I won't make an excuse for Jamestown.

Jamestown became a nightmare.

Jamestown, if you go to our museum, you'll see we have pictures of a skull because it ended in cannibalism.

And the skull has knife marks on the head from where they were carving the flesh off of the body.

It turned into a nightmare.

And I think it always does when you come to this country or you focus on money and you make God or gold

your

or I mean you make gold your God.

When you do that Everything goes wrong because you'll do anything because your God is money.

So how can I make more money?

Well, I can certainly do that by enslaving people.

So

slavery

was a part of Jamestown.

However, it was not a part of the Plymouth colony.

It is really important to understand, and this is something that we went through in the...

between 1850 and 1870.

We had this same discussion.

Are we Jamestown

or are we

the Mayflower and Plymouth?

Which one?

Because one was really super bad and led to slavery and eventually sedition and treason and the Civil War.

The other led to the Declaration of Independence and a God-minded people who were trying to do decent, honorable, and freeing things for all mankind.

Nope, nobody was perfect.

Jamestown was worse.

Now, when it comes to slavery with our pilgrims, let me give you a couple of facts.

The pilgrims, when they came over, they made slavery illegal from, I think, day one.

They called it man-stealing.

No man stealing.

That's what it is called in the Bible.

You can't steal a man from his home and where he is and just enslave him.

It's why the Indians broke the longest running treaty in the United States, the treaty with the pilgrims.

Because

war with some tribes, but the tribes that the pilgrims made treaties with

the wars between the tribes was really vicious, just vicious.

And the Native Americans, some tribes, would actually

torture the people that they would capture, the men.

They would fillt them.

They would peel their skin off of them while they were alive.

I mean, it was nasty.

And they did this to frighten the other side, to make sure that the other side knew, do not pick a war with us.

So

they were doing that

to frighten.

the other tribe and the other tribe would do the same.

They would also take their women and children and they would make them into slaves.

When the pilgrims arrived, the Native Americans were curious about the white man's God and we were eager to share it and made the Bible and we had a copy of it in the museum, made the Bible, wrote the Bible in the Native American tongue so they could read it.

The reason why that treaty was broken, not by us, but by the Native Americans, is too many Christianized Indians were saying, wait, we got to go to war, but we can't torture.

We can't enslave people.

This was such a big deal, man

stealing, that a storm

reared its ugly head on the east coast and it blew a slave ship into port at the Plymouth Colony.

The slave ship comes in and you could smell a slave ship from a mile away.

So they knew exactly what had blown into port.

The pilgrims boarded and arrested the captain and the first mate of that ship because man-stealing was illegal.

Then, this is a poor group of people who are giving 50%

of everything they own

to the king just so they can stay alive.

And they take up a collection among themselves to be able to hire another crew, put provisions on that ship, and send it back to Africa to free them.

That's quite a different story that we don't have to reimagine.

That's very different than Jamestown.

So which country are we?

Are we the country that is trying to liberate and free people

and see all people the same?

Or are we Jamestown that end in cannibalism?

I I suggest that we pick the pilgrims and that's what we did during the Civil War and in 1870 the or I think it was 1870 or 1880 Congress printed a map that shows the tree of sedition coming from Jamestown or the straight tree that gives you

all kinds of blessings, the tree of liberty that came from the pilgrims in Massachusetts.

So we start to abolish slavery mainly in the north really early.

If you would look at

New England as a country, it would have abolished slavery like a hundred years ahead of everybody else, but they were colonies, so it's not a country.

During and

after the American Revolution,

the abolition of slavery

became a big deal and abolitionists popped up.

I just told you in the Declaration of Independence, there was a paragraph written by Thomas Jefferson that only two colonies voted against and it had to be unanimous.

So it's not all 13 colonies.

In fact, Virginia voted for the abolition of slavery to be put into the Declaration of Independence.

And that was Thomas Jefferson who wrote it and voted in Virginia.

It was South Carolina and Georgia.

Those were the two.

So we wanted to end it, 11 out of the 13 colonies, immediately.

We couldn't.

So when we become a country, George Washington lays out the Northwest Ordinance.

That's 1787.

We're under the Articles of Confederation, where the federal government is very weak.

But in the Northwest Ordinance,

it's quite an amazing document.

In the Northwest Ordinance, George Washington lays out a couple of things.

That we have to have

the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty in all the territories

that are

above,

what was it,

New Orleans, I mean,

Louisiana, I think, or Kentucky.

It's basically the Mason-Dixon line, somewhat.

And so everything new that we're going to bring out in territories up in the north

from Iowa all the way to the coast cannot have slavery and they must have religious freedom.

And

for the good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.

The utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians, their lands and their property shall never be taken from them without their consent.

This is Washington.

Do we live up to these things?

Absolutely not.

Did we mean them?

George Washington did.

And in their property rights and their liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed unless in just and lawful wars

authorized by Congress, but laws founded in justice and humanity shall from time to time be made for preventing wrongs from being done to them and preserving peace and friendship with the Native Americans.

Again, this is the idea that all comes from the pilgrims, not from the people of Jamestown that eventually just start taking everything from everyone.

So the Articles of Confederation are in play.

The Northwest Ordinance is in play.

If you don't know what the Articles of Confederation are, you should read them sometime.

It is crazy.

It is the First Constitution of the United States, the Articles of Confederation, is so weak.

It's actually

in this First Constitution, it establishes,

are you ready?

A league of friendship.

That's how incredibly weak the association was with the states.

The government was like, hey, neighbor, how are you doing?

Isn't it great to be alive today?

A league of friendship.

Obviously, that didn't work, but the Northwest Ordinance comes from that.

And then what happens?

Then where do we go from there?

How is slavery

changed from there?

So we have a lot of things that

come about.

After the Northwest Ordinance, we have the gradual emancipation in New York starting in 1799.

We have

in the Constitution that we write and is

done, I think, in

1781,

no, 91, is the Bill of Rights and the final Constitution and that abolishes the slave trade I believe in 1807

so we can't stop it entirely

but what we do is we say we're no longer going to import slaves now why would they do this

well let me ask you progressives

Why haven't you just taken all the guns from Americans?

If you believe you're so right, why haven't you just gone door to door and taken the guns?

Because you're going to be judged, right?

That's what you would believe.

This is causing the death of all of these children.

So you're trying to change it in laws, but then it never seems to happen.

It never really is fully implemented.

Why don't you just take the guns?

For the same reason, the founders didn't abolish slavery immediately.

At first, for the Declaration of Independence, it was two states, but it was allowed to fester and it spread into the southern states because it's evil and pernicious.

The government was trying to stop it

like progressives try to stop things.

one step at a time because if you would have just said no more slavery, we would have gone to war.

If you would say we're coming to pick up all the guns, America would go to war.

Back then and now,

we chose no war, let's just try to keep working on it.

So really,

We're doing the same thing.

And I think we're doing that on abortion on the right.

You're doing that with guns or communism or whatever it is you want on the left.

It's progressiveness, progressivism.

It's taking one step at a time.

Back in just a second with more.

So in the War of 1812, we surrender.

And

we end the War of 1812 and we make a treaty with Britain.

Let's put it that way.

And we make this treaty.

And in the treaty, we have to do one thing the British want us to do.

What is it?

1812.

I think it's like in 1818 or

19, we actually enact this because we're in a treaty with Great Britain.

We dedicate part of our navy to go and patrol the coast of Africa to make sure the African slave trade is ended.

The United States of America had naval forces off off the coast of Africa by 1820, and we had them until the Civil War when we needed to recall those ships to fight the people who were fighting for slavery here.

That's the truth of the United States.

Did you even know that?

I mean, shouldn't that one thing be in our history books?

The Missouri Compromise happens in 1821.

What is that?

That's fighting, that's the South trying to fight for northern states with the Missouri Compromise.

And the Northwest Ordinance had already banned all slavery.

It takes us until 1861 to abolish slavery, but it was by congressional action and it didn't work.

1862, they tried again.

Lincoln, being a lawyer, knows it's going to take something radically different.

The Emancipation Proclamation.

That was in 1863.

However, that didn't end slavery right away.

What did?

How did it happen?

And did it end all slavery in America

for the slave trade?

Answer is no.

We'll tell you about it in just a second.

Tuttle Twins.

This month, when we hopefully are humble, it's Humility Month.

We had Pride Month last month.

We should be humble

So we're talking about slavery in America and trying to give you some facts that you might not have learned.

Have you ever heard of the name Benjamin Banneker?

Benjamin Banneker was a contemporary with Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.

He made his own almanac, which was just as good and just as popular, or almost as popular, as Benjamin Franklin's almanac.

In 1859, now Banneker is dead, His Institute in Philadelphia, which was an abolitionist group, urged African Americans to celebrate Independence Day while bearing witness to the inconsistency between the ideals espoused in the Declaration of Independence and their practice of slavery.

Chairman of the meeting promised his audience a brighter future.

He said, quote, We have learned by experience and by the comparison of ourselves and people similarly situated to hope that at someday, not very far in the future, our grievances will be redressed and that our long-lost rights will be restored to us, and that in the full stature of men, we will stand up and, with our once cruel opponents and oppressors, rejoice in the declaration of our common country and hail with them the approach of the glorious natal day of the Great Republic.

Benjamin Banneker was, as I said,

a

contemporary of Thomas Jefferson and the founders.

And there's correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and Banneker where Banneker is saying, you know,

let's abolish, can we work together?

Let's abolish slavery.

And sends him this great letter.

And Thomas Jefferson responds with,

you're right.

It is horrible.

And I'm going to use your almanac to send it over to Paris and other places to

people that are in the abolitionist movement.

I'm grossly quoting here, but send it over to people who also want the same things

and use your almanac as a way to dispel the myths and the lies about your people, that you're not smart, that you're not fully human.

Did you learn that in school?

Because I didn't.

Did you learn, I mean, what the Banneker Institute in Philadelphia said in 1859 is exactly what

Frederick Douglass said.

Frederick Douglass said the same thing.

And there's always people fighting for good and bad, just like there are right now.

We are grossly divided.

And people say this all the time.

We haven't been this divided since the Civil War.

Right.

And what are we divided on now?

And what were they divided on then?

Principles.

The principles of the Declaration of Independence.

This time, instead of saying secession,

They are saying let's just get rid of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

They only quote it when it works in their favor.

I quote the Declaration of Independence and I stand by our system of government even when it isn't in our favor.

All I want is us to strive to live up to the promises in our Declaration of Independence and the laws granted to the government, the restraints on the government,

that are put and spelled out in our Constitution.

The South didn't want that,

and now the Left doesn't want that.

And that's all we're divided on, is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

That's exactly what we were divided on in the 1850s and 60s.

So the idea to stop slavery, it was originally the Congress came up with a really weak idea.

and their idea was:

let's declare the Southerners in rebellion, and that way we can go and claim all of their property.

However, unlike what is happening right now with, what do you call that, Stu, when cop pulls you over and can just take your stuff,

it's

got

A seizure is a

surgery?

No, no, no, no.

It's a...

Oh.

Yeah, you've

crashed things you.

You know we're not AI.

You know we're not AI because there's like six of us right now all going, oh my gosh, what is it?

And yeah, and about 4 million people yelling at the radio right now.

Anyway, we all know what it is.

Civil asset forfeiture.

That's it.

Yes, thank you, Stu.

Civil asset forfeiture.

So basically, they were going through civil asset forfeiture.

But back then,

the lawyer,

Lincoln, said that's not going to work because after they're out of rebellion,

their family can say, wait a minute, I wasn't in rebellion.

Dad was.

And we're not in rebellion now.

We want our property back.

And so remember, the South was declaring slaves as property.

So we had to do something else.

And that is the Emancipation Proclamation.

That emancipated the slaves.

And then we had

the amendments to the Constitution, which made it rock solid.

So we abolish slavery

in, I think that was 1863.

Is that right?

1863 when we abolish

slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation.

and it really takes root in 65 with

the amendments, I think, in 1966.

So

when did it stop all over in America?

Many people will tell you, well, it stopped

once we passed the Constitutional Amendment.

Let me remind you that, first of all, the reason why progressives don't like to look at the Constitution and the reason why I love the Constitution is because it can forever change.

It's not a living document, but it does have some resuscitation standards set forth.

You want to start its heart beating again and add some new stuff before you snuff the life out of it again?

You can.

You can change it through

the Bill of Rights and the amendment system.

You amend the Constitution.

I don't think we should drink.

And then amend it again.

Okay, that was a bad idea.

The reason why you don't want to do it that way, progressives, is because you know you can't get 70-75% of the nation to go for the things that you want to do.

So you do it cloak and dagger,

in the darkness, or through the administrative state.

If you want to do it, do it.

But they know how incredibly hard it is.

Huh.

But we're such a racist country that we got all of the states and Congress to agree

to all of the anti-slavery laws,

amend the Constitution so it's very clear, all men, that's black, white everybody that can be a vote

it's interesting the only ones that didn't apply to were the Native Americans did you know that Native Americans had a higher percentage of slavery in their

in their demographics in their tribes than

Americans did

the trail of tears Everybody forgets that a lot of those people on the Trail of Tears were slaves.

It didn't apply to them.

That's a separate nation.

The United States had to go a step further to stop slavery in the other nations that are within our nation.

And it took them over a year to recalibrate all of our treaties.

You have to stop slavery.

It didn't stop, and they didn't give it up when the Emancipation Proclamation happened.

We did it through treaty.

So again, I mean, besides an epic struggle with something that man

has in his heart dominion over others in one form or another, whether it's just being a tyrant or a slave owner, this epic struggle that starts with the pilgrims

declaring no man stealing.

I think it's a great story.

It is a story of woe and misery and death and destruction and cruelty,

but it is also

showing us that when All mankind believes one thing,

it takes time

to be able to abolish and change people's minds unless you want to go to war.

War

in a country that has the

mission statement that we have is not a good idea.

Getting people to recognize that mission statement and to renew it in their hearts should be our goal every July 4th, Independence Day.

It should be our goal to mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to make the mission statement of America closer to a reality.

We've never hit it, and show me the country that is even saying that that's the point of their country.

We don't hit it, but who else is truly trying as a formal declaration of this is what our government is based on.

That all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.

There is no other government on the face of the earth.

I am not a flag-waving guy.

People think that I am.

I'm not.

I love the flag.

I love America.

I tell you that it's, I've never put a flag on my set before.

I only have one, and it is up at my ranch.

But I've never had a flag.

I've always banned the flag because after 9-11, it became a citizenship test.

You're wearing the flag lapel pin, or you're an American.

And I saw that that would be made political, and I didn't want to be involved in politicizing the flag.

The flag is only a representation,

and it's a representation of those ideas and ideals.

And let me tell you something.

If some other country came up with a better mission statement that was more glorious and they had the chance to get as close to it as we have gotten to this one, as flawed as we are,

I would sign over my citizenship and go to that nation in a heartbeat.

But I don't know what a greater mission statement would be and I don't believe there's a group of people that could come this close.

We need to renew that mission statement in our hearts and make it closer to a reality.

It's the trajectory of American people that matters in history.

george uh utah uh for the um for the museum we started started packing up before people were even gone yesterday.

They were gone in the first half of the museum and we immediately were following them as they left the room.

The last person left the room.

We're like, pack it up, boys.

As we open, tomorrow is Thursday, right?

We open tomorrow in Idaho, and that's the packing and unpacking of two full tractor trailers.

It's nuts.

It is nuts.

But we're so excited to have a few more days to share this with people who haven't seen it yet.

And I'm pretty sure, I mean, we have to do a final autopsy on everything, but I'm pretty sure

we're going to take this on the road and try to come to your state and your community,

perhaps in

20, are we in 23 now?

In 2024.

So I'd like to have this on the road next year,

especially during election year, to remind you what we're voting for.

What are we fighting for?

What are we standing for?

So, you know, the one thing I don't have that I would really like to get, I've never seen it come up for auction, but I'd love to get for the museum Hunter Biden's crack pipe.

I think that would be.

It's probably still at the White House.

I think he left it there last week.

Or a rental car.

or an apple store

you know could be what might even be in a garbage can behind a supermarket or does that is that just where he stores his guns I'm not sure I'm not sure but I don't think that will be in any of the museums anytime soon but you never know you never know so

what else is there to talk about independence the education of the future the Glenn Best program

We got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up standing, hold the life.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck Programmer.

Welcome to day number five of Humility Month.

I mean, if it's Pride Month, I think Pride goes before the fall fall or something like that, has something to do with the seasons.

So I thought that humility might be a good month to follow Pride Month.

Let us be humble.

And when we're humble, we will be gratitude.

We'll have gratitude for the blessings that we do have.

I think that's our biggest problem in the country.

I mean, we don't follow the Bill of Rights or the Constitution or any of our laws.

But other than that, and finding cocaine in the White House this weekend, oh my gosh,

our biggest problem is gratitude.

We should be grateful for what we have

and that would immediately stop all of the fighting and the complaining and everything else that is so beneath America.

I'm going to talk to you about the future of education for our kids in a very unique way.

And we'll do that in 60 seconds.

Puddle Twins are on a mission to help families learn from history and they're doing the best way they know how with amazing books for kids.

And these kids are all ages, really.

They'll teach about the history of our nation.

If we could understand just the stories, the ideals, and the ideas, just even, I've been pounding this today, the mission statement of our country, that we...

hold these things to be self-evident.

If we just understood what that really meant and what it was, what the intent was, and how we've never really lived up to it,

we are trying to progress and get better at it.

Sometimes we get worse at it, then we get better, then we get worse, then we get better.

If we would just understand these things and forget the dates and the names of the places where the battles were held, that should not be the focus.

That's nice, but let's talk about the ideas.

That's what you'll get in the Tuttle Twins books.

The 4th of July is past, but the time to teach your kids a real love of American history is right now.

And to celebrate the release of their new book, the Tuttle Twins are giving one family vacation away, and it is to the historic sites all around Boston.

Go to tuttletwinsbeck.com, order the book, get entry information and official rules for the vacation getaway.

There's no purchase necessary.

Mr.

Dennis Levitt is with me, and I want to tell you a story.

Over a year ago, or maybe it was exactly a year ago, my wife and I were here in St.

George to

help break ground on something called Liberty Village.

I knew

a bit about it, enough to be be wanting to be here and lend my voice and support.

And at the groundbreaking ceremonies, before I got my shovel and my hard hat, which they made me give back.

Anyway,

before we actually broke ground, a guy stands up, never

really spent any time with him before.

And I heard him speak for the first time.

And his name is Dennis Levitt.

And he is the president of United We Pledge, this place that is breaking ground for Liberty Village.

And my wife leans over to me and she said,

if this is the guy in charge, I want to invest in this.

And I said, uh-huh, I was thinking the same thing.

And when I mean, what I mean by invest in it is not to get money back, but just to give money to this project because I think its intent is so good.

The people behind it, it's so well thought out.

And Dennis is truly one of the best men I've ever met.

Well, that's very kind, Glenn.

We're honored to have you a part of anything that we're doing.

And your impact has made such a difference for Liberty Village and for United Wee Play.

Everything that we're doing, you bring such a higher level to it.

So thank you.

Thanks for having me.

So, Dennis, tell people what Liberty Village is.

So Liberty Village is a 40-acre master plan campus that's going to take some of the most iconic buildings of America's history, build them to scale, replica scale, but not as museums, as learning centers, right?

So think of the exhibit that you've just had here in St.

George.

All of those documents, all of that rich history, the iconic kinds of things that you've showed and ignited a passion in people.

We want to build some of the buildings where those things transpired so that when visitors and guests come to the village that they can have a palette that just opens their eyes.

Imagine Independence Hall and Mount Vernon, Monticello, the Green Dragon Tavern, the Elizabeth Powell home.

We have 20 homes planned in this phased project so that students and families can come on campus, can be inspired by what they see, but more importantly, when the doors open, walk inside and then hear the kinds of stories and interact with historical figures in a way that they can just appreciate America's story.

So

when you say you're going to reproduce them, but not as museums, for instance, Independence Hall, when you go to Philadelphia, the part you're interested in is the room where it all happened.

That's right.

But there's rooms all over Independence Hall, upstairs, downstairs, underneath, all of it.

The only thing you really want to see is where Nicholas Cage finally found the glasses up by the Liberty Bell and the room and where it all happened.

Will you have,

like for instance, in Liberty Hall,

will there be the representation of that room and then the rest is a learning center?

That's right.

So the shell will be to scale, but when you walk in, we have an 11-tiered educational methodology, which includes everything from tactile and interactive learning to technology.

We also, of course, are going to have some lecturing.

We anticipate having actors and actresses who stay in character so you could talk to Jefferson or Adams or Washington while you're there and that they'll stay in 1700-style character.

So the buildings, each one will be designed so that when you walk in, the education that's planned for that building will be most enhanced by what's inside.

And I know we've been talking about the technology inside.

I was just reading something.

And for the life of me, I've been trying to remember what it was because I want to go back and read it, and I can't remember where I saw it.

But it was what the left is working on in education.

And

they've done studies to show that the VR experience

is

the most powerful tool on earth to connect people

to principles and to ideas because it's full sensory and especially with children.

So

they're talking about AI and saying, hey, there's going to be

new ways to imagine classrooms, the left is already developing the

VR.

We have to be developing it on our side as well.

And that's part of the program here.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

We've got to keep up with the times.

You talk about trajectory a lot.

We have to keep the trajectory of patriotism and love of our nation and learning of our nation ahead of

what we're up against.

And there's a way to do that in a smart way.

I watched the fireworks show with my granddaughter last night.

It was great.

It was great.

There's also something, though, about those traditional methods, the personal touch.

We don't want to become so technology-rich that

we feel.

You have to hit all of them.

You have to hit all of them.

Like, I like sometimes going and seeing

reproductions and people, you know, dressed up and playing the role.

And then there are other times that I get there and I'm like, okay, done with this guy.

And want to have the virtual reality.

But I want a little, I want a choice.

And I want everybody learns differently.

Yeah, and you just want that personal touch.

That was my point, right?

You just see some of those old-fashioned things that are so magical for children and for youth.

Yeah.

I was amazed at how many people

just seeing some of the things in the museum this week completely broke down.

And all it in different rooms, different places the entire week.

Oh, completely.

You know, there's almost 13,000 visitors more than that who came through the exhibit, ranging from, there were kids and strollers, but literally ranging from ages six and seven up to 90 and above, right?

And all of them took something away that really made a difference.

It was really spectacular.

And I went in disguise one day.

They put a wig on me and glasses and a hat.

And

I wish I could say that they had to put a pillow under my shirt,

but they didn't.

And they put me in a wheelchair so I looked like an old man going through the wheelchair.

And I watched the kids.

You know, that's what Walt Disney used to do, is he would

hide behind this so he could

exactly the reactions.

And I sat there and I watched not the docents.

I watched the people, but mainly the kids.

And

we're not there yet.

A lot of the kids were engaged, and especially teenagers were very engaged in it.

But the little ones, not yet.

And so we've got to work on that.

And I know that's what you're doing at Liberty Village.

Yeah, there's some things to learn, right?

The height of the displays and bringing them up front.

There's just little details you can pay attention to.

So, like America, you talked in the earlier segment, you know, we've done some bad things and we've done some good things.

We just have to keep refining who we are, improving who we are.

And whether it's this project that's going on that you're using, the American Journey Experience or Liberty Village or whatever it is,

we don't do anything other than look at it under a careful set of eyes to say, how can we improve?

How can we make it better?

How can we really...

And that's the same thing with our own personal lives, right?

When all said and done, I believe our greatest duty to the Constitution is to be constitutional law-abiding citizens ourselves, to live by those principles and individual homes, individual families, doing what we should to be great Americans.

And as we can, then that can spread throughout the country.

I think this could be national.

I know the long-term goal or the long-term hope is that every state would have one of these kinds of centers

and it could focus on the history of your state as well as America.

So you would have kids all over America have easy access to these things.

And

I would be proud to partner with you on anything you guys are doing because it's really a great idea and a Herculean effort at this time to spend the kind of money that I know the donors.

are spending.

I mean, there's some people with lots of money stepping up and just saying, do it, because they all believe if we don't do it now, we're going to lose our country.

That's right.

And we're being as genuinely careful with sacred donor funds as we can be.

But there's people who really understand now is the time.

We have to do something now, otherwise we're going to lose a window of opportunity.

And I agree with you.

We take a first step forward, Liberty Village.

We're on a hastened pace.

We're going to have what we call a minimal viable product open.

As soon as we get the first few buildings open, we're going to start bringing youth on campus and then continue to expand from there.

And I agree.

Everyone will catch a vision, see how that can be duplicated in other states and in other places.

We're not trying to compete with anyone.

We're trying to add another buffet item, right?

If I could educate 100,000 kids or a million kids, I choose a million kids every single time.

And we just have to find ways to do it.

Well,

thank you for inviting me.

Can I tell you one other thing in just a second?

We had a 14-year-old docent who I talked to her father last night after fireworks shows were being cleaned up.

He said to me, it's the best compliment I can give you, Glenn.

He said,

my daughter had such

admiration from Glenn Beck, having never met him, not knowing what to expect.

And when you get these heroic people who have such a loud voice across America, he said, she just had these high expectations and hopes.

And then he got tears in his eyes and he said, Glenn exceeded everything that she ever dreamed he would be.

He was so kind to her through the exhibit.

His team taught her how to kind of learn and lead about America.

She's a tremendous little 14-year-old girl who was then teaching all of us at her little part of the exhibit.

And he said, Glenn Beck made such a great impact because he didn't, he wasn't diminished in her eyes.

He was excelled in her eyes.

So thank you for being such an impact amongst the youth, amongst our community, and doing all that you did to bring this exhibit here.

You're a superstar.

So I asked the, because we had docents, which are the people who lead you through the museum.

We had these docents and they were, I think the oldest one was how old?

Maybe 23, 23.

Yeah.

And a lot of them were teenagers.

14 to 16.

Yeah.

And

I asked them, you know, what can we do better?

You know, how can we help, you know, if we were doing this again?

And they said,

they said, well, you could get the scripts to us, you know, faster than the night before.

And we said, yeah, got that one.

And then

the best compliment I heard was,

I said, what's the best thing that you got out of this?

And somebody said,

we learned history and then we learned it even more because you allowed us to teach it.

And it's, it's, teachers usually gain more than the students, I think.

In every way.

Yeah.

100%.

And there's just no way to say we want to do something for the rising generation, but we're not going to have their fingerprints on anything.

What craziness would that be?

We've got to include them on our advisory boards and our...

educational committees and everything

that has to be through their set of eyes thank you thank you okay so if you would like to get involved in this project go to unitedwepledge.org unitedwepledge.org do your own homework uh find out what it's all about i think it is a tremendous, tremendous project.

It is why I've spent the last 10 days here

to help them raise money to get this done.

And I so believe in it.

And I hope you'll invite us back next year.

I've got something else to share next year.

Willing to sign that deal right now.

Willing to sign that deal.

Thank you.

All right.

Thank you.

Again, it's UnitedWePledge.org.

Now, if you are going to liberate your newly formed country from the tyrannical British monarch,

my gosh, can you imagine?

Can you imagine if we were still English and we had King Charles?

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

And you know what?

When I was over there, I asked everybody, and they're just, they're still like we used to be.

They were like, you know, no, I have my differences, but hey, you know, he's our king now and we're.

And I'm sure it's going to work out.

And I'm like,

I mean, yeah, I'm sure it will too anyway

you

you one of the things you would do to protect yourself is have a second amendment and make sure that you had your gun as a right as an American but

regulated militia is part of our responsibility so ammunition incredibly expensive right now.

How do you go and get to a gun range?

This is why Mantis X exists, not only to save you money and ammunition, but to make you much, much better.

And I think it's 80% of the people, 90% of the people get better in 20 minutes.

And you can measure it.

It is really completely different than anything you've ever seen.

It gives you instant feedback on what you're doing right and wrong.

It is like, and I know because I've had Marines stand with me and give me lessons.

It's like having a Marine standing right right next to you saying, no, wait, you're doing it wrong right here.

That's what you get with Mantis X.

Start improving today.

That's mantisx.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

So I wanted to make sure that Dennis was not part of this conversation.

I'd just like to give some advice to small towns like St.

George.

St.

George is,

unfortunately, could become the next Jackson Hole.

It is

a great,

great Red Rock city.

It's just so beautiful.

And the people here, it's the reddest county in the reddest state.

I mean, it is the reddest county in America.

It's also the fastest growing county or city in America as well.

It has doubled in size in the last two years or three years.

It's been crazy.

And that's when you start to lose things traditionally.

And if I may give some advice, if you don't plant your roots in your town, If you think that you are a town that is really, really good, plant the roots deeply in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, in our founders, and in the Ten Commandments.

You have the right to put the Ten Commandments in every school.

Now, they just did it in Texas.

Every school, right by the chalkboard, it has the Ten Commandments.

You should erect 10 Commandments in your community.

Put the Bill of Rights in your parks.

It will send a message to not only newcomers newcomers and visitors, but also to your own community as a reminder.

We are a Judeo-Christian-centered culture.

We welcome everyone, but this is what built us.

These, you know, top 10, you know,

safety tips from Mo.

Call it what you want.

but they that's what built our society and our bill of rights plant your flag and not just the flag, the principles deeply in your country and be welcoming.

But the people who are really radical that hate all of that stuff, they're not going to move to your town because they're just going to feel uncomfortable.

Just like, I don't live in New York.

I love New York.

I love New Yorkers.

but it's really not my place to be there because I can't raise my kids in that.

They'll feel the same way.

Nothing wrong with that.

We love everyone.

But if you're in one of those communities, plant your root program deep.

Sponsor, this half hour is Goldline.

Let me tell you, Goldline is an amazing company.

I've done business with them for over 20 years now.

They were actually, I was a client of theirs before they were a client of mine.

I was buying gold from them long before

they were on the air with me because I did my own homework and I looked for the place that had the longest reputation of being good and they've been in business I mean these places come and go all the time they've been in business 50 some plus years it's it's a remarkable group and they will help you on your purchasing of gold or silver.

It is very important because our dollar is eventually going to change and it's happened before.

Now everybody is saying it's going to change.

You need to prepare yourself and protect yourself with gold or silver from goldline.com.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So

here's something

a talk show host doesn't say every day.

In fact, here's something a talk show host has never said

before.

At the White House, On Sunday, Secret Service agents discovered a white powder

and evacuated the White House until they found out that white powder was simply cocaine.

Okay.

So it wasn't there to blow up, but it was blow.

And so we got that going for us.

Now,

I'm not going to tie this to Hunter Biden.

I think it is unfair.

There are a lot of creeps in the White House that might be doing cocaine.

They say that it was most likely dropped, and I think most likely might be a stretch.

Let's actually look at all of the facts before we decide on who it was.

Could have been somebody that was visiting.

Could have been a family member.

Could have been a million things.

Could have been the aliens that they have hinted at and told us, but haven't told us, are visiting the White White House with cocaine.

Don't know.

But earlier, they said that Hunter Biden was at the White House until Friday.

They found it on Sunday, and they say the White House is thoroughly searched

every day.

And so they didn't see the white powder, and they said they think it's most likely that it was dropped by a tourist.

And I know in my drug years,

I was so sloppy with my really expensive cocaine baggie.

What do I

really drop?

Okay, maybe, maybe somebody dropped it.

They also said it's a possibility somebody planted it.

Okay.

That would be weird.

You know, maybe we could dust it for prints

because

maybe there's fingerprints on it.

I don't know.

Especially if somebody just dropped it and weren't trying to plant it.

Let's see if it had any prints on it.

But now, three minutes ago, now five minutes ago, I guess, ABC News just said that they cannot confirm it was in a public place at the White House.

They said their investigation is going on, and we can't confirm nor deny.

that it was in the library with a candlestick.

Well, if you remember, Glenn, when the kids were touring Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, they did go to see fizzy lifting drinks in an area they were not actually allowed inside of.

So I think the most likely outcome here is a tourist was on a tour and just went to another part of the White House.

They weren't allowed to check out to see if they had fizzy lifting drinks.

And this was the fizzy lifting drink they found.

Who can't hear Joe Biden right now saying, and you stole fizzy lifting drinks?

You stole, so you lose.

Yes.

I could definitely see that.

Who can't hear that?

I have many questions here, Glenn.

Many, many questions.

Now, you had mentioned you thought it might be a family member.

And I mean, some...

No, no, I said speculation

has been.

I'm not suggesting that.

I don't know.

Let's wait for the facts.

You kept it.

You were very careful there.

You were so careful that you eliminated no one because every person is a family member of some family.

So you've eliminated no one there.

Did you jump to the Hunter-Biden conclusion immediately?

Because I sort of did.

You know, look, there could be...

I've watched this White House closely.

Lots of people there are definitely on cocaine.

But I did think just from the sloppiness of the operation, Hunter had to be involved in some way.

This would be the perfect statement for him to make right after getting a deal for all of his crimes.

They are still looking into it, and they won't divulge all of the details because of their investigation, which will take probably 12 years.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we found out 12 years from now that they knew the cocaine came from somebody because the cocaine was found on the belly of a hooker

in one of the, you know,

you know, in the library or kitchen or They're not going to tell a public place.

Let's be honest about it.

They're going to come up with an excuse immediately.

These people lie all the time.

If Hunter was doing it off of the counter, they all got caught him and they kicked him out because they couldn't believe what he was doing.

They would come up with this exact excuse.

There's no reason to believe anything this White House says about this topic at all.

It very well could have been Hunters.

They very well already might know it.

But also, Glenn, isn't the White House like the most

secure

environment in America.

Yes, we all, there has to be a camera pointed at the place where this

cocaine was found.

Rewind the footage and look about who look at who put it there.

No.

In public places in the White House, you think they put cameras?

Come on, Stu.

They're not invading people's privacy by putting a camera in the places of the White House where the tours go through all the time, why would you have a camera there?

Now,

could there be an open laptop of hunters and he happened to be recording at the time?

Sure, maybe, maybe.

But a camera put in by our government to watch places where Americans tour?

No way.

Especially after you've made the last three years about the ongoing insurrection against our public buildings in Washington, D.C.

We saw how many cameras they had inside the Capitol building.

Pretty much every single inch of that place has cameras.

You're telling me the White House doesn't have similar surveillance?

Of course they do, especially in the public places.

They may not have it in the upstairs, you know,

but I bet you they have it in the stairwells.

You know, they might even have it in like the living room of the upstairs of the private residence, you know, just to make sure if the president drops dead, something happens.

I don't know.

But in the lower level of the White House, absolutely cameras everywhere.

Everywhere.

So what, of course, I think we're getting from this is it was found in a private area, right?

Because the public area, there's no excuse.

And the fact that they're leaking out the, I don't know, it may not have been

in the public area after all.

We're all as surprised as you.

All of this sort of nonsense that they're leaking out, to me, indicates they know it was in the private area and they know it was something bigger than some tourist dropping it there.

They know it was somebody.

I mean,

we've seen problems with the Secret Service recently.

Who knows?

You know, God only knows what this could have been.

It could have been there.

Could have been theirs.

It could have been, it could have been Joe.

Could have been the head of the Secret Service.

Maybe this is why Joe occasionally seems focused.

You know what I mean?

I don't know.

Maybe occasionally

Joe does like one out of every 15 speeches.

he actually has energy.

Maybe he is the one doing the cocaine in the White House.

That might be the answer here.

No, I don't think it is, but I mean,

I'm not

saying it isn't.

You're not willing to rule it out.

I mean, come on.

You can't possibly rule it out.

Have you seen how this guy is governed?

Have you seen how, you know, most of the time he's completely asleep.

And then every once in a while, like in a debate or something, he has energy for 20 minutes.

Especially Especially for 20 minutes.

Right.

Especially at night when he's like, you know, 9 o'clock Eastern giving the State of the Union address.

Come on.

Everybody knows he's asleep by 3.30 in the afternoon.

And he's having dinner at noon.

He's having breakfast at like 11.30 when he rolls out of bed, dinner at noon, and he's in bed by 1.

You know, so I think what we're saying here is

we can confirm now that Joe Biden is the one who did it.

So there you go.

Analysis here from the Glenn Beck program.

That's the name of the show, the Glenn Beck program.

And

the views of Stu Bregeer, which may end up in a court of law and him in prison, are not necessarily, and in this case,

absolutely not the views of this host.

It's not a joke.

It's not a joke.

No joke.

No joke.

I mean, just think of the.

I mean, this is really the difference.

And I'm not talking about all conservatives.

I'm talking about people who revere our country.

And there's a lot of conservatives in Washington who are just, they're all talk and all show.

And

they don't feel necessarily any different than any progressive feels.

But I know a ton of people that are regular citizens that would find that so abhorrent that I mean you go to the White House and it's it's the room

it's it's the building where all of the presidents except I think since Thomas Jefferson right

all of them know

who was the first one it wasn't Washington but it's been from the beginning

and it is some place that is just revered and special and sacred and there's so many people now that are just i i remember that's that was my biggest problem with bill clinton and his shenanigans that were going on it's like dude really

i mean

find a find a motel 16.

it doesn't have to be a motel 8 or a motel 6 you can upgrade go to a motel 16 and do that not in the white House.

It's just shameful, just shameful.

We're getting to the point, though, in our country.

So there was, I would say, the Motel 6 is definitely of higher quality than our White House.

We're there.

I hope people recognize that.

Yeah, we are there.

One other thing.

A lower court, a judge came out on the Louisiana case.

where we've had the Louisiana Attorney General on.

He's fantastic.

He came on and he said, we have done our investigation with Missouri and we have filed a court case against the White House for what they've done with social media.

And they used the White House

talking about, I think it was, was it Jen Saki that was originally talking about, yeah, I mean, we talk to social media and tell them, you know, what they can and cannot say with COVID.

And the judge excoriated them.

Yeah, it just really ripped him apart.

If the allegations made by the plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States history.

In their attempts, I mean, that's quite a statement.

In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the federal government, and particularly the defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment's right to speech.

The plaintiffs

are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing the government has used its power to silence the opposition.

Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines, opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns, opposition to the lab leak theory of COVID-19, opposition to the validity of the 2020 election, opposition to President Biden's policies, statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true, and opposition to the policies of the government officials in power.

All were suppressed.

It's quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature.

This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian Ministry of Truth.

It goes on and on and on and on,

and it talks specifically about people like Corinne Jean-Pierre and other members of the White House.

This goes to, there's several states, plus people like Jay Bhattacharya that are involved in this website or this lawsuit.

It is a, I mean, it's a blistering ruling.

Blistering.

And I feel bad for,

you know,

What's Her Face, always in a new dress that's at the White House now.

I can never remember her name.

KJP, yeah, Corinne Jean-Pierre.

She does such a poor job.

Oh, gosh, she's so bad.

And I feel bad that she's involved in this because she, I can guarantee you, only read what was given to her.

There was no opinion there.

She's just, you might as well, that's like involving the teleprompter.

And that teleprompter was involved in this.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about the best, the best slippers around.

They're coming from My Pillow.

Believe it or not, My Pillow is huge, huge success, but My Slippers actually are the biggest seller now at My Pillow.

And it's for a reason.

They are really, really great.

Stu, you were wearing them one day coming in.

I wear them probably at least two times a week coming in.

They are great, are they not?

Super comfortable.

And the feel of them inside is like, it's nothing I've ever felt in a slipper.

It's like so soft and comfortable.

They're really great.

Yeah.

Okay, so my slippers, you can get now up to 10 of them, and they put a limit on these slippers to 10 because they're only 25 bucks now.

And you may become a slipper hoarder.

I'm just saying, you're like a prepper.

When these slippers are no longer available, I'm going to have hundreds of them.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, we have something really very unique.

It is a speech that I gave for the, what was it, 400th anniversary of Jamestown

and

a call to make a covenant.

And that's something we are going to be doing here shortly.

When I get back to Texas, we're going to start putting it together and something we'll invite you to participate in.

It's really special.

I flew out to Jamestown

and

gave a speech.

Please excuse the fact I was traveling with.

my security who don't care what I look like at all.

So I step on stage and my hair is almost straight up and the camera, they were just filming there.

And I'm like, you know, that was a good speech.

Why don't we use that as a TV show?

Because everybody should see that.

And then as they were putting it together, I saw it.

And I'm like, good heavens, man.

I mean, so just imagine

the,

you know, stay-puff marshmallow man with hair standing straight up.

That's

what it looks like.

But the message is great.

Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, thank you, St.

George, for being so hospitable to us, taking care of us, and thank you, Team Chanel, for just going way above and beyond duty.

God bless.

We'll see you tomorrow from Idaho.
