Plymouth & the Pilgrims: Pioneering Freedom | Guests: Paul Jehle & Beth Perara | 11/18/19

We are

broadcasting, obviously, from a different location.

Pat is sitting in for Stu, who I guess is sick.

I mean, is the guy

does he even work anymore?

It's like he's here like three days every month.

He's like Johnny Carson now.

He really is.

Ed McMahon didn't do that.

No.

Johnny did that.

It's my turn.

My turn first.

How are you, Pat?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Good.

You

I'm great.

I've had an amazing, amazing weekend.

Uh, and we'll uh tell you what we have kind of up our sleeve a little bit

today.

I was hoping to make an announcement from uh this location today, but we're gonna push it off, I think, until after uh Thanksgiving.

But we are gonna,

I mean, if you're smart, you're gonna figure it out.

Um,

but uh, we're live from Plymouth, Massachusetts today in the Layton House.

More in a minute.

I never thought I would see the day when Barack Obama seemed moderate, but Barack Obama has come out and said to the Democrats, you got to slow down.

Not everybody is into this revolution thing.

And that's what the Democrats have been talking about.

And we'll talk about that, plus what they're doing with impeachment

and some possible solutions.

Possible solutions that we really

need to focus on here in the next few weeks.

We begin there in one minute.

I am sitting in

a very historic home.

I am sitting in the Laydon home

in

Plymouth, Massachusetts.

And Plymouth is this amazing town that I've never been to

and I came here Saturday

and it was it was a it was a long trip this weekend because I stopped somewhere else that we'll talk about later

but I

I got here Saturday, and it's such a strange place because everywhere you look,

everywhere you look, something really important happened.

In this home that I'm sitting in,

this is where the first peace treaty happened,

the first peace treaty with the Native Americans.

The first election in America happened in this room.

This is called plot number one,

and it's the first street in America and the first home in America.

Right out

across the street,

looking out the windows, I can see Plymouth Rock from here.

It's literally a stone throws away from Plymouth Rock.

It is right on the water, and the front yard is where they think the first Thanksgiving actually happened.

Kind of a historic place.

Next hour, I want to talk to you

about

the pilgrims

and what isn't being taught anymore.

This is, this town is,

I think, like the rest of America, except on steroids.

Because the people who are here, who know the truth about the pilgrims, are on fire.

It is this group of people up here that are holding down the fort for the pilgrims are truly remarkable people.

I haven't been around people like this in a very long time that really, really know history, know what they've been called to do, have a plan, and are doing it, and are so filled with love for other people, and it's working.

There's the other side of town that either just doesn't care, maybe you've lived here for a long time and, you know, I've seen it all and whatever, yada, yada, yada, pilgrims.

Or they are really standing in the way of telling the truth about the pilgrims.

One of the guys who I was with, who we'll talk about a little later, was

was actually in Holland.

He came here from Holland because he was doing some research on the pilgrims and trying to get a reason from the Pilgrim Museum, which I think is like a phone booth,

you know, from where they launched.

And

there's one guy who, you know, is like, oh my gosh, somebody just ring the bell.

They came in.

They want to hear about the pilgrims.

And so he went over there and he was asking their experts, why did the pilgrims come here?

And the answers are crazy.

Truly, truly crazy.

Well, because there was an economic recession coming over.

Oh,

oh, so to escape an economic recession, they decided to go to a place to where they thought they could be

scalped and eaten.

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

I know that's the first thing I do.

Hey, there might be a recession.

Let's get onto a rickety, leaking boat and cross the ocean, you know, where half of us are probably gonna die because that's the way it is.

It's not exactly, you know, a nice tour ship that you're going on.

And then we're gonna go to a place where there's Native Americans and they usually kill all of the people that are on the ship.

But at least we won't experience that recession.

Why did they come here?

And what has been lost?

And why is Thanksgiving so important?

And what are the people here doing?

They are holding the fort, and they're actually making progress here.

So we'll get into that here in a little while and tell you

something that I have felt for a while now I

was supposed to do.

And so we are going to be doing that, and it involves next summer, summer.

But it's really a year-long event.

And we'll talk about that coming up in just a little while.

Pat Gray is joining us because Stu is faking an illness, I think.

He works less than Johnny Carson used to work when he was doing the show.

And so, Pat, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Thank you.

Good.

I'm going to start calling.

I'm going to start saying that Stu is filling in for Pat

shortly.

A couple of things, Pat.

First of all,

Nancy Pelosi, I think has, I think they've, I think all of the Republicans on this impeachment hearing have really lost it.

I don't think they even know what reality is anymore.

Nancy Pelosi

is now saying that Trump withheld the money from Ukraine for Putin.

Could we play this audio, please?

Listen to this.

So

for a long time, just until what, the 24th of September was when I called for a fuller expansion.

The inquiry was going on, but to proceed with the inquiry, and that kind of changed our communication until that day in the room when I said, all roads, Mr.

President, with you lead to Putin.

Whether it's giving them a stronger foothold in the Middle East by what you did with Turkey and Syria, or what you did by withholding a grant, withholding aid to military assistance voted by Congress to Ukraine to the benefit of Putin.

11,000, more than like 13,000 by now.

Ukrainians have died at the hands of the Russians.

They needed that military aid.

And with his disparaging remarks about NATO and questioning our commitment to NATO, that's to Putin's advantage.

So

we do have, shall we say, a candid relationship.

Wow.

I don't think I've ever heard anything so dishonest.

First of all, Nancy,

the aid was given.

In fact, he sold what they were asking for.

They were asking for more of because the president had already sold them those weapons.

And those weapon systems they had been begging for.

But it was the Democrats under Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and yes, you, Nancy Pelosi, that refused to sell them any of those weapons.

So for her to say that, you know, look, he's just trying to help the Russians, he hurt the Russians here.

His policies towards Russia, not his language, his policies towards Russia are much more fierce than anything that the Resset team was trying to do with Vladimir Putin.

And when it comes to Ukraine, he actually has armed them against Russia, and the Democrats did not.

That's all part of trying to make Trump seem like a Russian agent.

They're still trying to do that.

They're still trying to make it

look, they're trying to make the American people believe that Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

It's so dishonest.

It's so

almost treasonish.

It's almost treason.

So Giancarlo Sopo, he wrote for the Blaze this weekend, leak focus groups results.

They reveal the Democrats' impeaching messaging plans, weak legal case.

Did you read this article?

No.

So he says,

what happened at quid pro quo?

As political observers noticed this week, the Democrats have a new messaging strategy in their impeachment inquiry of President Trump, accuse him of bribery.

The shift came after a focus group in

battleground states by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee showed that voters were less receptive to the Latin legal term quid pro quo.

They preferred the charge of bribery over quid pro quo.

The latter, according to the sources familiar with the focus group, likelier to persuade swing voters.

So they changed it from quid pro quo just based on a focus group.

What can we use to get this guy?

As the Washington Post points out, the House Intelligence Committee member, Jim Hines, Democrat from

Connecticut, was the first to announce the Democrats' intentions to retire quid pro quo during an appearance on Meet the Press.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi began accusing Trump of bribery during the press conference on Thursday, talking Latin around here, e pluris unum for many, one, quid pro quo, bribery and all that, is in the Constitution and attached to the impeachment hearing, she said.

She noted a likely reason why Democrats had replaced quid pro quo with bribery is that the latter is one of the two crimes cited in the Constitution.

Again, not true.

The reason why they decided to change that is because people understood that and thought it was worse than quid pro quo.

Post also noticed that even Heinz recognizes that while bribery may be a political useful term for the Democrats, it's also

imprecise to describe the allegations.

Abuse of power is not necessarily a concept that most Americans run around thinking about.

In this case, the abuse of power was the same combination of bribery and extortion.

It's also unclear what Democrats argue is the alleged bribe in question, since Democrats don't have any witnesses with direct knowledge of Trump's state of mind during his dealings.

with Ukraine.

Republicans were quick to point out the change in messaging underscores that Democrats don't have a compelling legal case against the president.

They're just trying different narratives to see what would work.

And that brings me back to what Nancy Pelosi just said and what Pat said.

They're just doing everything they can.

They're throwing spaghetti up into the wall to see what sticks.

They don't have anything.

They have quid pro quo doesn't work.

Bribery doesn't work.

He's a Russian agent doesn't work.

When is America going to wake up to this?

Well, If you look at the, what's the definition of bribery?

Persuade someone to act in one's favor, typically illegally or dishonestly, by a gift of money or other inducement.

Well, so you have to get something for it.

What did we get for the money we gave them?

Nothing.

They never did the investigation.

Even the guy who was supposedly bribed has said over and over again, we received nothing for the investigation.

By the way, we didn't do an investigation.

So.

The line that kept sticking out to me this weekend was the Democrats saying that sometimes hearsay is better than direct evidence.

Wow.

Since when has hearsay been better than direct evidence?

The hoops that you intellectually have to jump through to be a part of this crazy train is truly remarkable.

New report out suggests that companies are underestimating the damage that could be done if employee data is stolen and leaked to the dark web or wider internet.

Employee email addresses and

information on employees, broad entry point into a company's system.

They have access to employees' data.

It could lead to many security issues that businesses are worried about day to day.

It's important.

That you understand how cybercrime is affecting our lives.

I've mentioned that before somebody's identity gets stolen,

you know, everybody thinks it's fine.

Every two seconds, somebody's identity is, every two seconds, somebody says, yeah, but I didn't think it was going to happen to me.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the program.

I'm glad you're listening.

So there's a couple of things.

I want to get politics out of the way today.

You see the Buddha Judge polls in Iowa, Pat?

Pretty amazing.

Pretty amazing.

What is your take on this?

I think my take is that they just don't know who they like because they don't like any of them that much.

And I think anybody who looks fresh and new is going to do well for a while.

And I think maybe Buddha Judge is the shiny new object right now in Iowa.

For him to shoot up nine points like this and be nine points ahead is amazing because there's, I mean, I don't know what new policy he's proposed that

has sparked this, but I just think it's because they're tired of Biden.

They don't necessarily like Warren and Sanders.

And so they're like, well, what about this guy?

Let me explain my theory on this

to anybody who has ever gone shoe shopping with a woman.

If you've gone shoe shopping with a woman and

it's for a specific outfit,

they either go into the shoe store and they know exactly what they're looking for.

They see it and they're like, I know what it is.

I want that shoe.

They try it on.

They walk around.

They walk out the store with that shoe in the box.

And then the rest of your life is spent listening to them bitch about how uncomfortable that shoe is.

Oh, I can't wait to get home to take these shoes off.

Honey,

we just got into the car to go to the event.

Okay,

that's the Democrats, okay?

Sometimes they find the shoe, they know exactly what they're looking for, and then as soon as it's on, everybody is saying, I can't wait to take these shoes off.

Here's what's happening this time: if you've ever gone to shoe shopping, gone shoe shopping with a woman and she doesn't know what shoe she's looking for, she will try on shoes and she'll come out and she'll say, what about these?

And you'll say,

They look great.

They're great.

They're beautiful.

They're wonderful.

And she'll say, I don't know.

And she'll walk around in them for a while.

I think I really like these.

But, you know, I saw another shoe over there I want to try.

Okay.

So she goes and she tries on that shoe.

And she walks around and she says, what do you think about these?

Oh, I think these are

great.

These are wonderful shoes.

I think these are wonderful.

And she walks around.

I like these.

I think I like these.

Well, I don't know.

Are they going to be.

And then she gets a third pair of shoes and a fourth pair of shoes.

And then you end up walking out of the shoe store without a single shoe.

And you're like, what?

What was wrong with any of those shoes?

They're all uncomfortable, honey.

they were all black

they all were heels what exactly are you looking for i don't know i'll know it when i see it right now buddha judge is just a pair of pumps that is uncomfortable and that they're trying on at the store and all of us are like it's exactly like the other shoe i mean

I don't know what you're looking for.

I don't see the difference between the last one you were trying on and this one.

And they're both going to be really uncomfortable, but they're walking around right now in the shoe store going, I don't know these Buddha judges.

I think I really like these.

I'm not really.

And as soon as they see something else, they'll try that one on because none of them are what they're really looking for.

And Michael Bloomberg might be that other one that they try on for a little while when he jumps into the race.

And then they're going to realize, no,

I knew there was a reason I didn't like this guy.

That's going to happen to him.

And you know what?

They're going to go back and try other shoes on.

Yeah.

And

what did they start with?

If this is right, if this is really a tight analogy,

what did they start with?

Because when they have to make a decision, they usually go back to the first one they tried on,

which was,

what's his name?

Joe Biden.

Yes.

And they'll be like, you know, I think I'll just go with these.

They're not happy about it, but they'll just go back to those and you're like, we could have left the store two hours ago.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Relief Factor.

Garrett is a listener of the program.

He lives in South Carolina.

Hi, Garrett.

He hurt himself and hurt his back while he was lifting heavy boxes.

Oh, you got to pick it up with your knees.

That's the people say that.

Anyway, now some people are early adopters.

Garrett, not one of those people.

He heard about Relief Factor every day on the radio for over a year, and it took him that long to decide, you know what, I'm just going to give it a try.

Garrett, you're exactly like me, brother.

He got the starter package, began taking it, feeling skeptical but hopeful at the same time.

Within a few weeks, he began to notice his pain had gone away.

Not long after that, he began to notice that he had the ability to lift things again.

Don't admit that.

Today, Garrett is back to lifting things that are 50 pounds.

He got his life back.

He got his back back, and so can you.

When taken properly, Relief Factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain.

You want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back?

Do what I did, do what Garrett did.

Take Relief Factor at relieffactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

Miss Glenn's special last week, the Democrats Hydra.

Well, you're in luck.

You can watch it for free on YouTube right now.

Welcome to the program.

I'm

so glad that

you're with us.

Pat is in for stew today.

I'm in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and beginning to lay this out for you on why I'm here and where I'm at.

And I want to also promote this parade that they have on Thanksgiving.

They started this parade about 20 years ago, and it was just a group of people in a church that started this, and you can't even imagine what it's like to get permits in New England.

And they got a permit to do

a pilgrim parade and really kind of tell the truth about the pilgrims.

And they really went all out.

I mean, this is not like a, you know, back of the pickup truck local parade.

This is, they've made these beautiful, unbelievable floats.

They don't have any sponsors.

It's all done with their own money and this just small little group.

And

they've done it now for 20 years.

This year, they're expecting about a quarter of a million people on the streets of Plymouth Mass to see this parade.

And it is the most wholesome,

it's almost becoming the anti-Macy's.

You know, it's not about sales and gifts and Broadway shows and

anything.

It's about the pilgrims and what they did.

And if you're anywhere in the area,

please come up to this parade.

You will not be disappointed.

I went into the float barns yesterday, and it's incredible what they're doing up here.

It really is.

And all just people who are driven to do it.

They don't get anything out of it.

Nobody's making any money.

It's just, it's, it's,

yeah, you want to talk about one person deciding to do something and can make a difference.

That's what's happening in Plymouth, Maine.

Or Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Did you see Ford versus Ferrari this this weekend?

Yeah, I did.

You did, Pat?

Yeah.

Yeah, I did too.

What'd you think?

I liked it a lot.

I thought it was really good.

And it's a story I don't think a lot of Americans are familiar with necessarily.

How much did you know?

Well, I knew the outcome, and I knew

I knew the general story, but I didn't know the specifics of their relationship and all that.

So if you don't know, the Shelby Cobra is, or the Ford Shelby, is the

greatest race car

built.

I mean, they're just, they're amazing, amazing cars.

And the Shelby Cobra now, an original Shelby Cobra, is what, three to five, seven million dollars, something like that.

The Ford Shelby's, the real ones, are, you know, $10 million.

And

built by a guy who's a Texan who is just this,

you know, why can't we do it kind of guy?

And the Ford versus Ferrari movie is the relationship between the driver and Shelby, the designer, and also the Ford Motor Company and the Shelby Motor Company.

And Ford does not come out looking good.

No, they really don't.

No, I mean,

Leia Acoca looks great in it, doesn't he?

Yeah, he does.

But

it shows how Ford tried to buy Ferrari in a really intense scene.

Makes Ferrari look pretty weasily, too.

It makes Enzo Ferrari look terrible.

Horrible.

Horrible.

Like, really, like a.

Well, I think, I think one of the lines was when Lee Iacoka came up, you know, he said, no, you don't understand.

This is, we're going to meet the mob.

And it really was kind of mob-like.

But

it is a...

I think personally, it is a perfect father and son movie.

Every father and son should go see this.

Absolutely.

Yeah, and it shows you the rivalry between them because

Ford was, like you said, going to buy Ferrari, and Ferrari was just using Ford to up the price of

Fiat, another Italian company.

And that's who they wanted to go with all along.

And so Henry Ford II didn't take very kindly to that.

So he wants to beat him on the racetrack.

And he says, I don't care what it costs.

And

in two years,

they develop

the Ford Shelby race car.

Two years.

And

that should have taken a decade to do.

And it wins at Le Mans in 66, 67, 68, and 69.

And then Ford decides they're not going to race anymore.

And

it's an incredible scene.

It reminded me of the old,

I think, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman movies, right?

Yes.

When I was a kid in the 60s, I barely remember them.

But I remember my folks going to and my dad taking me, you know, taking me to race car movies

with, I think it was Paul Newman and Steve McQueen was in some of those as well.

And it really felt like that.

It was funny.

It was really, really good.

Really good.

It really was.

Have you seen Midway yet?

No, and I'm not going to.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Have you seen it?

Yeah.

What'd you think?

I liked the movie until it came to the very end.

That's why I'm not going.

Very end

might shock you a little bit because.

Explain.

He's not giving anything away.

Yeah, at the end of the movie, they dedicate it to all of the soldiers in the American Army who fought in World War II and the Japanese soldiers who fought in World War II.

I was like,

wait, what?

You're also dedicating this to the enemy that sneak attacked us at Pearl Harbor?

And two days before Veterans Day, that's what you're going to.

And it's not only that, it's

the Japanese were horrible.

They killed 250,000 Chinese civilians.

Yeah, they were.

They tortured our American troops.

They were much, much worse than the Germans were with their experimentations and everything else.

We forget that.

No, I was actually

more concerned about the plot line.

Didn't you notice that the plot line took a significant turn to China when it didn't need to?

It's like

China have to do with Midway.

All of a sudden, they're talking about China.

You're like, wait, what?

What just happened?

Yes.

And that's because there's Chinese money in the movie.

So this is another thing like

the NBA, where they've just sold out for the Chinese money.

And so they had to make Midway some way or another to make China look good.

And so they added all that extra plot line.

That is unbelievable.

I mean,

is that going to win them fans?

Loyal,

we're number two now.

We're not the number one market now for movies.

You're going to see all kinds of stuff starting to change.

For instance, did you see Terminator?

No.

Now, I don't know what they turned it to.

This is coming from a friend of mine, But Skynet, it's either Skynet or Cyberdyne, but I think it's Skynet.

Skynet is no longer the name of the

evil system.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, why would you change some?

Skynet, everybody knows what Skynet is.

Why would you change that?

I was told that it is because, again, that has Chinese money in it.

And they're doing...

Now, I know the United States has a Skynet thing that we use against terrorists, but apparently, Skynet

in

China is something

that has to do with their monitoring system of the average person or their internet or something like that.

And so they didn't want to be known as Skynet, you know, the ones that have the Terminator.

So because of the Chinese money funding the movie, they changed it.

They rewrote part of

which bad guy was.

That's amazing.

Isn't that crazy?

Yes.

I mean,

wow.

And like you said,

if they're going to continue to accept the money from China, that's going to change a lot of movies and a lot of plot lines and a lot of dialogue.

How often is this going to happen in American movies?

You're going to have a massive Chinese influence now.

Especially as the United States becomes more and more unpopular, we're not standing up for what we are supposed to stand up for.

How long before the American stories are completely lost?

I mean, as I was walking around here in Plymouth this weekend,

I thought, honestly, when was the last time

you heard anything really about the Pilgrims?

Really, anything.

Other than just a passing, you know,

float or

a poster in a store or something like that.

When's the only time you've ever heard anything really real about the pilgrims?

Anything substantial?

Not even at Thanksgiving.

Do you need that anymore?

No.

Nothing.

And so here we are.

We're sitting here and we're erasing this history.

Do you know who, you know who broke the treaty with the Indians?

Um, Woodrow Wilson.

Oh, no.

It lasted 54 years.

It was the longest-running treaty with Native Americans in the history of America.

So who broke it?

It had to be the British.

No, it was the Indians.

Oh, they did?

Yeah, the Native Americans.

The Native American chief changed it because

a lot of the Native American tribes around here were starting to find the Christian God, the white man's God.

And there was one thing that was really changing their culture, and that was

they believed in not just killing your enemy they believed in torturing your enemy while you were killing him so they would eviscerate you and then you would hold your own guts

while you were dying and so they made all death really really cruel and so many of the native americans were the christian ones were like hey i think we're kind of cool on everything but that one kind of seems like we shouldn't do that anymore.

You know, I just think that might be a little cruel.

And

so the Indian chief basically said,

you're destroying our culture.

This Christianity thing is destroying our culture.

We can't torture our enemies anymore.

And

they got into a war.

He broke the treaty and wanted all of the white men killed.

And it actually ended because other Native American tribes came to their defense,

to the white man's defense, because they had seen this is craziness.

We're fighting to torture people.

This is not right.

Where's that story?

I've never heard it.

Quite honestly, I've never heard it.

Next hour, I have a guy up here who has studied the pilgrims his whole life.

And he can tell you the true story of Thanksgiving.

And it's important that you hear this.

And so I'm going to bring him downstairs.

He's upstairs now.

We're in the

plot number one, the first house in America,

the room where that Native American peace treaty was signed, where the first election happened in America.

Somewhere around the front lawn of this house is where the actual Thanksgiving, the first Thanksgiving happened.

And

there's a reason why we need to know about the pilgrims.

A very important reason, and it's a reason that we found out from Abraham Lincoln as well.

And it changed the course of the Civil War.

And we'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

welcome to the program.

So glad that you're here.

There's a couple things that are going on around the world.

It's not unique on what's happening here, and it's really, honestly, by design.

If you have not seen my special that we did last week, the Democratic Hydra, make sure you either are a subscriber to the Blaze or go to my YouTube page and

see this.

It is,

you know,

six weeks ago we did the first thing on the impeachment on Ukraine, and it was the most watched thing the Blaze has ever produced.

This one

is dwarfing that.

It is well laid out, and it will tell you what's really going on.

It's not a coincidence that all of these things are happening around the world.

Let me just give you this.

No room for compromise with the Hong Kong protesters, according to the China People's Daily.

They're going to end up killing these people.

And have you noticed that while things are getting stronger and stronger there, the press is almost non-existent on this?

How about this one?

Iran's top leader warns thugs as protests now run in Iran 100 cities.

Are you hearing anything about that?

Very little.

Very little.

Venezuelan marched the biggest anti-manure anti-manure uh manure maduro uh protest it actually worked the same thing yeah yeah it is uh the biggest the biggest protest this weekend in months

again

have you heard about these things why is the media not covering the protests against hellish countries they're on fire

and we should be standing up for those countries where they're actually fighting for freedom, the freedom of thought, the freedom of speech the freedom of economics which brings us back here to Plymouth Massachusetts and we're going to go there

tell you about the pilgrims and Thanksgiving next

we're going to begin the program and really kind of tell you the significance of Thanksgiving and why it's so important coming up in just a second.

The fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

Michelle Obama was taken off of the campaign trail in 2008 because she said, Barack knows if we want to make these changes, we're going to have to change our language.

We're going to have to change our traditions.

We're going to have to change our history.

Our history has not been lost.

Our history truly has been stolen from us.

And it's that history that brought us together.

It gave us the unum in E pluribus unum.

Why did we come here as a people?

What were we trying to build?

I'm in Plymouth, Massachusetts today.

It's the 400th year, 400th year in 2020 of the pilgrims arriving here.

Why is that significant?

And why

is Thanksgiving significant?

Why we should sit with our family for a few minutes and teach them the true history of our pilgrims in one minute.

This is the Glenbag program.

So you go to a new chiropractor, get an adjustment, and your neck has been killing you, and it's finally time to do something.

adjust your neck real quick.

And it freaks me out every time.

Especially the first time that you're doing it with a new chiropractor.

Now, he's got his head in your or your hand, your head in his hands.

If you just happen to say, Hey, how many of you, these, you know, how long you've been doing this?

And he says, Oh, it's my first day.

Are you letting him make that adjustment?

Because I wouldn't.

Oh, I'm just part-time.

I just do this on the side.

No, no, no, no, no, thank you.

No, thank you.

Paul Jelly is a friend of mine, and he's the pastor of the New Testament Church of Cedarville that I attended yesterday.

And

he is also

one of the guys.

Are you the head guy of the Plymouth Rock Foundation?

Yeah, president of the Plymouth Rock Foundation.

And you

tell me your story quickly.

You grew up here?

Actually, I grew up in New Jersey, but my father, I was born in Massachusetts, but then my father, who was a pastor, he moved us back here into New England and Massachusetts.

So I attended high school here in Massachusetts.

You don't have that chowda kind of

which is really heavy around here.

So you

got engaged with the pilgrims when you were young.

And

I was singing about this the other day we've almost lost everything about the pilgrims i mean it's they're just their images now maybe maybe on a storefront or a mcdonald's or something like that and even that image isn't necessarily accurate with the buckles and

all the black hats right

um these guys they came over here uh for

uh a couple of reasons and they changed the world.

They really changed the world.

Can you tell the story of the the Pilgrims?

I mean,

when I first was given some primary source documents and books on the Pilgrims by my mentor, my initial mentor, John Talcott, here in Plymouth, I told him I don't really like history, so

no thank you.

And then, of course, when he looked at me and he said, no, you really should read this.

Then I started to read it.

And I think what amazed me was to read the literary prose of William Bradford, to read the diary, Mort's Relation, to eventually then read Good News from New England by Edward Winslow.

And these different books, when you're reading this, you're realizing, gee, this is their words.

This is exactly what they believed.

And it was nothing I'd ever learned in high school, nothing I'd ever learned in elementary school.

They were very learned people, if I'm not mistaken.

William Bradford brought more books over than were originally that started Harvard.

Right.

I mean, they had hundreds of books on, and when you think about this.

On the Mayflower.

When you think of the small amount of space you had

for your family for clothes and think about it.

You're taking everything that you're going to own over here and you can't take very much.

You have maybe a small spot and you're going to bring books and books in Latin and Portuguese and Spanish.

400 books was an enormous library.

Enormous.

And the thing is, and here you had them very literate

and they were very ideological.

One of the things is they were really wrestling with ideas, ideas that would have tremendous consequences.

Now, like anyone else, they did not probably, they couldn't foresee what kind of ideas would do in consequences, but they knew they had to deal with those because ideas do have consequences and they change history.

So they are over, they're English and they're over in England and

the Reformation is just starting where before you couldn't read the Bible.

yourself in your own native tongue.

You had to go to a priest.

It was the Anglican church that was really a government, you know, the king or the queen is the head of the church.

James is the head of the church.

Right.

And

heresy, anytime you were standing against it, you were burned at the stake.

So they leave and they go to Holland, right?

Right.

And, you know, the pilgrims, the interesting part about it is they initially wanted to be able to get along like anybody else and do the best that they could.

But even John Robinson, who became their leader, he was the pastor of an Anglican congregation.

In fact, he started to see his ideas for following the scriptures just conflicted with the hierarchy.

And the whole idea of determining whether someone is a heretic or not was all done by, backed by the state and backed by this whole idea that you had the terrible consequences if you disagreed.

And here are these ideas that would eventually bring great liberty of conscience and civil liberty beyond just religious liberty.

And yet at the same time,

it would take years to do that.

So, here you have these individuals wrestling with it.

One of John Robinson's big wrestling matches when he was pastoring an Anglican church,

he said, Why, he used this kind of poetic language.

Why, the church is married to the state, it's not married to Christ.

It has no freedom.

And he

couldn't say that Christ led the church

because the king did.

Exactly.

And the king, and especially King James, was very learned.

He said, when I speak, it's the law.

I'm speaking to you by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And you have to be aware when someone says they're speaking by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And they also have the sword backing them up.

And force.

And that's hardly voluntary.

Usually the ones who speak for the Spirit are

the ones like King or Gandhi, Jesus, somebody who's really,

really not a friend of power.

Exactly.

And will eventually decentralize power.

Correct.

And that's what is so threatening.

And so you have these pilgrims, and they begin to wrestle with this.

John Robinson, when he debates with the Anglican bishops after he's even left and gone to Holland and eventually into Leiden, he would reason this way and say, wait a minute, this is not the way it is.

The government actually comes from the inside out.

It's actually self-government that's the rule.

And this is just threatening the power announcement.

This is 150 years before

we're around.

I mean, before the I mean, this is the germ of the idea of

realize that now these pilgrims, when they're reasoning together and being taught by John Robinson to think and reason from principles,

they're only a small, tiny remnant that's mocked and they're called separatists because they're mocking them, not because they're complimenting them.

They're the ones who would separate from the church.

In fact, the interesting thing, when you read the bishop's writings and letters to them, he said, why God has given you such grace and such benefit and liberty granted to you by the king.

Why do you throw that all away and start original thinking and thinking on your own?

This whole idea that to think and to reason, to come up with ideas that others may not have held was just anathema.

So it doesn't seem like they were thinking people because

they're growing in Holland.

Things are going fairly well for them.

They have about 500 people, you know, for 300, maybe to 325 in their church church in Leiden.

Okay, so they have, you know,

it's growing.

Yes.

And

for some reason, you know, we had Tim Ballard here this weekend, and

he just came back from Leiden, Holland, and was talking to the scholars there.

And they said, well, they probably left because, you know, there was a recession coming.

They didn't come here for a recession.

Why would you leave your home that was comfortable because of a recession, even a war, when you were coming to America and it was almost certain death.

Yeah, you know, you think about the reasons, and Bradford gives the reasons in his Of Plymouth Plantation.

And they talk about the truce was ending with Spain by 1620.

And that was a big problem because they were in Leiden, and that when that truce would end, there would be more problems with the Spanish.

Also, not only was that a problem, but they said their children were getting on in their years, they were getting older.

But the real crux of why they came, Bradford gives in this poetic phrase.

He said, lastly, but which was not least, in fact, this was the most important, a great zeal they had of propagating and advancing the gospel of the kingdom of Christ into those remote parts of the world.

Yea, though we would be even as stepping stones unto others for the performing of so great a work.

Think about that phrase.

It's written later.

Bradford writes it about 10 years afterwards, about 1630, probably a little later than that.

And yet you see the

looking at this whole situation.

They were coming for a a motive to advance the gospel of the kingdom.

And it was different than, for instance, there was an argument in the 1850s between

those who said really Jamestown was the cornerstone of America and others that said it was Plymouth.

And Jamestown was a religious group as well.

They had some very strong pastors, Pastor Hunt and others that came.

Right.

They had some real characters on that.

Right.

And

it was to

come for God, but also come for gold and everything else.

This one was not coming for gold.

Well, you think of the difference.

The difference, because we like to point out both the positive and both.

You had a national experience with a national religion being planted in Jamestown.

You have something very local, very

personal and intimate here in Plymouth.

Beyond localism.

It's a different familial.

It was all about families.

But also you recognize that here in Plymouth, this was a church plant.

You see in Jamestown it was a national plant.

It was a replica of the state church.

And though they did have the assembly in 1619, there are a lot of things that take place in Jamestown prior to Plymouth and they have a lot of firsts.

What we have in Plymouth is unique because

this is where this was a church plant.

Without the Leiden congregation sending about 75 people over to the New World and not even 75 were able to come.

Some returned when the speedwell was springing leaks, being overmastered by the captain, and what at least from what Bradford has written, that they believe happened.

They came here, so their hunger for religious purposes, and you have to look at the wider context of history at the time.

All the explorations that are taking place at the time,

whether it's the Portuguese, Spanish, or anyone else, is under this doctrine of discovery, which is basically you go in and you take over the land, you take over the people, and then you dominate them, make them your slaves, and then introduce Christ.

Well, this is

now because they're so dependent on you.

There was this conquering mode where you have the pilgrims and Robinson's teaching of them.

Now, they're not going to stop in any exploration like this.

You're going to have some hotheads on your group.

You're going to have.

Right, and there was a group on the Mayflower called the Strangers.

Yeah, they were not part of the Leiden congregation, but the Leiden congregation is the one pioneering the motive for coming.

And that motive is to serve.

That motive is to bless.

That motive is something that was

trained into into them.

It was a different, it was a remnant movement.

So I want to take a quick break and then we're going to come back and start there because this was a socialist idea.

At first it was a socialist idea.

And they had a ton of firsts here in America that were really important that if we know about them today,

we can correct the path that we're on.

We're at

the Leiden House now in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

And

I'm here for a reason.

And that is the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims is happening in 2020.

There's some events going on that I want you to know about.

Next week, there is this amazing parade put on by the Plymouth Rock Foundation.

And

it's history as it

has traditionally been told and is really

being lost.

And they started this about 20 years ago and it has exploded.

There's about a quarter of a million people now that come into this town, little teeny town, just for this parade.

And if you're anywhere near the area next week, you need to come.

We'll have more on this in just a second.

Let me break for one minute

So, Paul, the pilgrims land here in Plymouth,

and it's a small little boat.

I mean,

it's shocking.

There's no way

you'd never get me on that boat to go across the...

You'd be like, are you crazy?

Was that a big boat for the time?

Not necessarily a big one, probably an average-sized merchant vessel.

They remember they bought another boat that was even smaller than that, called the Speedwell, which is a smaller boat, carried maybe 20 or 30 people rather than the 70 or 80 on the Mayflower.

And then they lose the Speedwell.

It has to be sold for much less than they bought it.

And out of Plymouth, England, they come.

And of course, Plymouth Mass was not named after Plymouth, England.

But the point is that, because that had already been named by John Smith and other explorers explorers here, but the point is, here they're coming over here and crammed on 102 passengers plus the crew.

A tiny, tiny bunk bed, small single bed for two people.

One person gets sick, everybody gets sick.

You got 66-day voyage.

It's rocking 20 to 25 degrees.

The Mayflower was designed to roll water off, not keep water off the deck.

So you're getting seawater.

It's constant.

And so it has to be.

It's no picnic.

And for women and children to go, this is the thing that makes so many firsts.

You mentioned first.

Well,

here's one of the firsts.

That you had women and children go on this voyage.

Not just any women.

These are wives and children.

These are families, 24 family units that come on the Mayflower.

The idea that families are a part of this is what makes the story significant.

That's why we tell people: if you want something unique and come back in 2020 for this event we're doing, June 28 to 30, there's events all year long

sponsored by the town and others to come.

You're going to see family.

Family was so important to them.

These were covenanted families.

Here's another first.

Here's a church that covenanted among each other accountability without state permission.

This is a church that existed because individuals wanted to covenant and combine themselves together in their church.

And that's why they covenanted and combined themselves into the civil body politic with the writing of the Mayflower Compact.

Another first.

And they covenanted themselves not only to God, but to each other.

Like when they first hired

who was the Miles Standish.

Miles Standish.

They hired him.

Right.

And then they got together and voted to make sure, right?

They wanted to vote because they wanted to make sure it was by consent.

See, in other words,

this is the house where the site is

near the site, the property where that probably took place.

Right, where they voted.

Yeah.

And the interesting thing is, here are people who are reasoning from the scriptures the best they know, and they are coming up with new ideas.

And they're saying, you know, it doesn't have to be done the way it's been done before.

Everything's just appointed from the top we can make those decisions not only that there's a not just a first with a church covenanted group coming across the ocean covenanted families coming with women and children and then drawing up their own government a self-government act on board the ship before they land knowing they're off course but then you you have them land and even here now they're voting on individuals and they're voting here's the interesting part about it we're talking about a jurisdictional separation of church and state here You don't have to be a member of the pilgrim church to vote in the Commonwealth.

That's unheard of.

You know, the Puritans would tend, and you can understand it.

I don't criticize when you're outside the context of history.

It's easy to throw stones when you're many years later.

But here, these Puritans.

It was very easy.

They had the king as the head of the church.

Well, they didn't like that because there's a major persecution.

But a lot of Puritan groups had come to America and they'd just reverse it.

Now the church is the head of the state.

And you get persecuted.

If you're not a member of the church, you can't vote.

You're disenfranchised.

Well, the pilgrims had something unique.

Here's this tiny group that's reasoning for themselves and there's another first.

Here you have the seed, the germ of the First Amendment.

No, it's not in flowery form.

You're not going to see all the bells and whistles, so to speak, that are going to come out later.

But here among this tiny group, because they're reasoning, they're thinking together, they are researching.

It's the tip of revival.

When you study revival, you see a revival in England was called the revival revival of hearth and home.

It was the revival of reading the Bible around the fireplace.

The Geneva Bible was published in 1560.

First Bible small enough to carry, first Bible cheap enough to own, first Bible with chapters and verses, study notes.

People are studying the Bible.

We take it for granted today.

We have five Bibles, six Bibles in our houses.

We don't even read half of them.

But the point is, here they're, this is really important.

So in little huts in the wilderness, they're reading the Bible.

And so these are the first that are pioneering events a peace treaty with the natives that was part of their whole idea so we're going to get to the peace treaty and the the free market system which was developed here and the peace treaty in this room but the fireplace you ever see the etching of that peace treaty this is the fireplace we're sitting in front of that they were standing in front of

All right.

Let me tell you about Norton security.

When you park your car in a garage or in the street, you lock it, not because you know somebody's going to steal it, but because you're out in public and you want to be able to lock up your car.

The same thing should be said for your

Wi-Fi.

When you're out at a Starbucks, you're on public Wi-Fi.

Well, you might want to lock it up because there might be somebody that's trying to steal that information.

Might be somebody that's just sitting there.

You think they're doing their work, but what they're actually doing is collecting all of the information that you are now using and you're now spreading on that public Wi-Fi.

That's why you need a VPN.

It's a virtual private network.

And the people that I trust with VPN is Norton.

Norton has been helping us keep viruses off of our systems and protecting us for decades now.

These are the people that have now developed the secure VPN and so many other multiple layers of protection with Norton 360.

All right,

welcome back to the program.

I'm talking to Paul Jaley.

He is the pastor of the New Testament Church of Cedarville, and

I went to

a couple of churches yesterday.

Yours was one of them.

I just love your congregation, and I love your sermons, they are unbelievable.

And it's just you're centered around service you know so many

gandhi said i i love this jesus of yours i just don't necessarily like his followers uh and he also said i uh the bible is such a great book more christians should read it uh

uh and it's kind of it's kind of like that and we miss the fact that it's all supposed to be about service that's right and i kind of want to talk to you about that, about what you're doing here, because you've changed this community through service, just loving people, not preaching to people, not trying to do anything, just love them.

But let me first go back to the founders because I want to get the part, not the founders, but the pilgrims.

I want to get the part that they came here.

The house next door to this one, this is plot number one, this house, the first street, really, in America.

And the house next door, one up from that, is the, what do they call it, the common house or yeah, the common house is just actually one probably located a little bit further toward the waterfront.

No, it's it's marked on that house.

Yeah, it's marked on the wall of this house.

But of course, the original sites are difficult to determine.

But this is religious.

They're liars in the historic society.

No, so it's right here in this area.

The critical thing to recognize is that when the pilgrims did come here, they were seeking, they already had two documents on board, of course, giving them permission from England to come over here.

But then they had their Mayflower Compact and then their peace treaty that they desired to have peace with the natives.

That's important to know.

But also,

they are also pioneers.

They were under this contract with the financiers.

And it's interesting to note that the Puritans preached against profit as a sin.

They said, look, if you want to make money, that's kind of like a sin because they had adopted the European way, which was the common field.

Now, the common field in England was simply the fact that you own cows, I own cows, you own cattle, I own cattle.

They all graze in a common field.

It's not my field, not your field, it's our field.

It's kind of like grazing land now with the government out west.

And the town squares, which is very New England,

if you had cows and you couldn't feed them, you could go take them to the town.

But here's the problem I found.

Some cows eat more than others.

Yeah.

And oh, that's weird to see people like that, too.

And so this common field was something they all inherited.

But Bradford here, he makes this comment that he said, boy, when we got here, we're starving.

And we were thinking we're wiser than God.

And this is, you had women have to

go and wash the clothes of someone else's husband.

Because there were only four women left after the spring.

Well, that was the first time.

After that first winter.

So four women.

How many guys?

Well, you had a number of other, probably 12, 13 guys, but you also had most of the children that were alive.

You look at 80% of the children survived, whereas a very small number of women survived that first winter.

And of course, they had to stay on the boat much longer.

And the women didn't survive because they were protecting their children.

Yeah, some of them were protecting their children.

Some of them were giving away their food, certainly.

But

when you look at this, you recognize of this, the travesty of that first winter.

But now they're saying, how can we grow more corn?

The natives were so friendly to them and so gracious to them, but they would not have known how to grow in this sandy soil.

The seed corn they were brought from England wouldn't work.

So now they are working together and they're realizing, gee, how can we do this?

And so Bradford says, let's set every man their own property in particular.

Okay, now hang on just a sec, because that was against the compact, not their compact, but the charge of the people who helped pay for it.

Remember, it was like a stock company.

So it was a joint stock company.

But of course, the people who are financing them didn't believe anyone else could get profit, but they should.

Right, right.

Because profit is just survival.

Right.

So

they were all just pooling all of their resources, putting it in the common house.

And what people, if I'm not mistaken, what people,

mainly the young guys, because you had some old guys that survived that were not real healthy.

You had women, then you had children.

Then you got these 20 guys, you know, these 20-something guys who are like, look, I'm building all the houses.

I'm chopping all the wood.

I'm doing all the work here.

And I don't get any more.

And what started to happen was these guys were saying, you know what, I'm sick today.

I can't make it today.

And the bickering and the fighting, and Bradford even writes in his journal, he said, even amongst the most godly,

because there's a, and he said, like, we're going against the order of God.

In other words, if you don't have the right structure, now you look at it in reverse, they changed that structure.

They now are producing for themselves.

They begin to produce immediately double the acreage.

Then they triple the acreage in the next three years.

They go up to 180 acres in no time.

So now they're being very productive.

And now they recognize that they said, well, God began to blast this.

They were successful and they forgot God.

Bradford said, no, we have to go back to prayer to ask God.

So here's these people that say, no, we can't just believe in God and then have the wrong structure.

That's not going to work.

But we can't just have the right structure and then pride ourselves that it's all because of us.

So you have these individuals that are doing this.

And even a conversion of Habamak, the Native American, takes place at that next Thanksgiving, 1623.

So we're looking several years down the road.

And this is what makes this group unique.

They're thinking for themselves.

They're pioneering ideas.

Is this the first real free market?

Yes.

We would call that a free market economy because you actually had people able to set their prices eventually without the control of government.

In fact, they could have a business outside the palisade walls.

So that was a kind of a symbol outside the control of the government in the sense of setting wages and prices.

And that's where they had a free market trading post in 1627 down in the town of Born, the Abtuxed Trading Post.

Phenomenal place, recreated on the original foundation.

And here where they're trading with the Dutch, the Native American, and the pilgrim.

And they're using wampum shells for currency.

I use this for teaching economics to high school students.

You can use it.

And here they're using wampum shells, different colors, and the native will get wealthier because they can catch the cohogs a lot easier than the English can and a lot faster than the Dutch.

And so these this is the germ.

I'm going to pretend that I don't know what a cohog is and how fast they run.

They don't run.

They're in the ocean.

So you are going barefoot in the slime and the muck and you're

going in and trying to pull those little shells out.

They're like clam shells.

And then you have to shave off those shells into beads, which the natives were much better at.

And so you can come in with the beads.

You don't have to do just bartering.

And you have a free market, a free market economy birthed right here in the wilderness because they are reasoning from the scriptures and from the Bible.

But it's beyond that because what makes this different is, again, it's the family.

That's great.

They based it on don't tell anyone else what to do.

I'm here because I want my family to be strong, right?

That's right.

And that's kind of what we missed.

And

it's amazing when you hear people talk about Thanksgiving.

In fact, the owner of this house was, I think she was the one who said it to me yesterday.

Is that this is

when you talk about Thanksgiving, everyone says, oh, it's my favorite.

I don't have to go out the store and buy anything.

You know, we just, we cook, but then we're just together as a family.

This is supposed to remind us

about family and what makes us a family and what brings the family together.

If you take Thanksgiving today and even Thanksgiving in Lincoln's time when it became a national holiday and Washington's Thanksgiving proclamation at the end of the Revolution while he was president, and you can trace it back, a lot of things have changed.

Of course, the most people illustrate it, they say, well, the original harvest festival in 1621, probably in the month of October, where 90 braves come, as Edward Winslow writes, and you have only 51 pilgrims left, and you have,

and they bring the deer.

The natives brought most of the food

because, and all of that took place.

We don't know who invited whom, we don't know how it all happened, but there's a record that it happened.

Now, they say, well, what of what?

That's only a dim view of today.

Well, you look at several characteristics that are still.

They had wrestling matches, they had shooting matches, there were athletics involved in that first Thanksgiving, that first harvest festival, probably patterned after the Feast of Tabernacles from the pilgrim's perspective,

which was called the in-gathering or the Feast of Thanksgiving in the the Old Testament.

Well, you have that.

You have three days of feasting, you have athletic contests, you have friendly relations.

It's a multicultural event.

I mean, come on, that is Thanksgiving.

That is the heritage we have in America.

Yes, it goes through all kinds of transformations over the years, and it's not started initially.

But when we're at our best,

we remember the original.

That's right.

You know, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln.

When we're at our best, when we are about to heal ourselves,

we remember the first one.

Right, because, you know, every event in history is going to have some negative because you have people.

And every event in history can be positive when we remember those things that advance choice, religious and civil liberty, and the rule of law, all those things.

So when you look at the pilgrim story, you see this composite.

Of course, they're not perfect, and no one's saying they were.

But at the same time, we look at it and say, There are some positive things that we can emulate.

And think of today.

I look at these characteristics and I say, Today, what do we need?

We need people going to their neighborhood.

It doesn't matter what their background is, what their political stripe is, and learning to love and serve people.

And that's why we love doing what we do here in Plymouth.

We want to serve people and bless them.

So, talk to me about the event that's happening this summer.

And as you will find out later,

this event is going to play a very big role into something that we're putting together that I will be announcing shortly in the next few days.

You can go to the website, P-L-Y-M-R-O-C-K.org, Plymouth Rock Foundation, and you can go to the events.

Plim, so you know, Plymrock.

Plymrock.org.

And you can go and under the events page, you can see the event for 2020 shaping up.

Three organizations are helping us put this on.

Pilgrim Progress, which reenacts the Pilgrims Going to Church, the Leiden Preservation Group, which is right here, and also Jenny Museum.

who you had Leo on as well.

And here we are attempting to

bring to the forefront the faith of the pilgrims which brought them here, the significance of the pilgrim story.

They came as families.

They came as a church plan.

They are unique.

They have all these firsts.

We're going to have historians in town, workshops to attend, tours, walking tours of Plymouth on a regular basis.

It's all kinds of beautiful town.

And not only that,

we have key events.

We're going to reenact a pilgrim church service, sing the actual Psalms.

I'm going to actually articulate John Robinson's farewell sermon to the pilgrims.

Weren't you actually down at Plymouth Rock?

Aren't you the one that was arrested?

Was taken away?

You were reading.

I actually wasn't arrested, but what happened was years ago, back in the 70s, I was dressed as a pilgrim and I was reading from William Bradford.

And someone heard it and was upset that I was talking about God on state property.

And so I wasn't arrested, but it is funny.

I was not.

But what happened is they said, you better go to the police station.

So I went over because I wasn't on my own property.

And so, yeah, after that, it's kind of a funny story.

I walk in dressed as a pilgrim.

They knew me.

They just said, oh, what are you up to now?

And stuff.

And it ended pretty quickly.

But the idea is any town you can go into in America, usually the town does not even appreciate its own history.

It takes time for that.

You can go anywhere in America.

Tourists come in because they want to hear the history.

But if you live there, that doesn't happen.

So over the years, we've seen a greater appreciation for the pilgrims come.

We give the credit to God, not us, but we came wanting to serve.

We said, why don't we,

we inherited a parade that was already going on, the Thanksgiving parade, but as we increased its awareness of the pilgrims, of areas and served the town, the town began to appreciate more and more what's happening.

And it is such a wonderful thing.

So you have the event next year, June 28th to 30.

You can go on the website and learn about that.

But you can go on America's Hometown Thanksgiving, separately incorporated now, America's Hometown Thanksgiving celebration, usathanksgiving.com.

And you can go on that and you can see this event coming up next Saturday.

You saw the floats behind the screen.

Yeah.

And the guys who are making it.

And I hope to have Ollie stop by before I leave.

But

it's an amazing thing.

And hopefully, I'm trying to convince the Blaze to come up and broadcast maybe next year.

Because my family has been watching the Macy's Day Parade.

We used to, when we lived in New York, we would go to it.

Yeah.

And we loved it.

But it is becoming, I don't even know what it is anymore.

You know,

it's just not.

But, you know, I can tell your listeners, some people around America, as I travel around and I get across America quite a bit speaking about these things, not just the Pilgrims, but America's godly heritage.

And I look at this.

Most people are saying, gee, what can I invest in?

What could I do?

I mean, it is amazing when you look at this parade, how large it is and what it is, and yet how small the budget is, but how much is still needed.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable in a small number of people.

Either those websites,

plimrock.org or usathanksgiving.com.

You could go on there.

There's places to donate.

You could even, if you're in the New England area, come down, follow me.

Come help, yeah.

It's really worth it.

Go to plimrock.org and just

remember that address.

If you can help, it would be great.

You will not regret it.

You'll not regret it.

Paul, thank you so much.

I need some help, you know?

And for Thanksgiving,

you kind of try to tell the story, but you need a tradition.

How do we do that with Thanksgiving?

There is a website I want you to go to right now.

Pat, you know what we missed this weekend?

There in Dallas?

What?

The Flat Earth Society Convention.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

There were the Flat Earthers from all over the world, all over the country that came.

They gave all kinds of talks.

And,

you know, the Earth is flat.

There are about 600 people that attended.

Yeah.

And,

you know, they said we're a growing community.

Now about 7% of the population of Earth now says that the Earth is flat.

7%.

7%

now say the Earth is flat.

That's absolutely incredible.

Yeah, but they're science lovers, and they said that the stars and the moon and everything is nothing but like a

Truman show dome.

And

we don't have a...

A Truman show dome?

Please don't.

Are you a science denier?

Yeah, I guess it's a Truman Show Dome.

Okay.

All right.

Of course it is.

My gosh.

Wow.

We'll talk about that and more from Plymouth in just a moment.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

All right, so why am I up here?

Well, I think this story might explain it all.

You ready?

A teacher here in Massachusetts

was talking to

one of their students in a kindergarten class.

Five-year-old brought a bag to share with the teacher and the rest of the class.

It was a plastic bag decorated with Spider-Man.

And he brought it into his kindergarten class, show and tale.

He said,

teacher, you have to try this.

And everybody, you have to try this.

Just stick your finger in it and put it in your mouth and you turn into Spider-Man.

Well, as it turns out, it was a bag of heroin.

And,

you know, the teacher didn't think it was a good idea to have everybody stick their finger in it.

Now,

the father of the boy has had a finger stuck someplace in him

as well, as he went to jail for endangerment and, of course,

heroin.

What are all of the things that are going on in the world?

What is the solution?

And we can go to these really complex solutions.

We can say we've got to change the whole system.

We have to be socialist.

No, no, we've got to strengthen the capitalists.

None of these things are going to work.

Voting for this guy or that guy, none of them will work.

What we have to do is remember who we are.

And we have to decide, are we Christopher Columbus before he arrives here?

Because before he arrives here, he is on truly a mission from God.

He is

everything in his diary that he wrote at the time, not after, not revisionist, but in his diary at the time.

He is a humble, humble man who is being led by God, and he knows what his mission mission is.

Then he arrives and the minute he arrives, he's bitten by the gold bug.

By the time he finally walks on the actual Americas, he's so deeply down with the gold bug,

it's a horror show.

But are we Columbus after he arrives or before he arrives?

Are we Jamestown?

Did we come here for the gold and and for the riches and for the fame and the titles and everything else that would be bestowed upon us?

Or are we here because this is a blessed land and we are a blessed people to be living here and look at the things that we can create?

I'm going to give you a line from William Bradford.

Now, William Bradford

was the head of the Plymouth Plantation, and here's what he said.

Thus out of the small beginnings, greater things have been produced by his hand that made all things of nothing and gives being to all things that are.

And as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here, kindled hath shown unto many,

in some sort or our whole nation.

Let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise.

So what he's saying here is,

what happened?

We didn't do.

We were just living certain principles that made all of these things work.

And we remembered that we shouldn't get the glory for it.

That we're just the ones who just happen to be lucky enough and loyal enough to those principles

and he who gave those principles to us.

to be able to use those principles and make something out of nothing

as he does.

and that little candle will light up you'll become a bright shining city on the hill

and if

if you forget

you become a byword

if we forget and we have forgotten

I am

I've talked about this for years

but I don't think it's I don't think it could be any more important than this year

I'm here in Plymouth, Massachusetts,

not only because it's the 400th anniversary of the landing on Plymouth Rock,

but next year it will be the sorry, next year is the 400th anniversary.

In 2021 will be the first

400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving.

So they landed next year, 400 years ago,

and they struggled, and they died,

and the Native Americans helped them,

and they became friends, and they worked together,

and they had great crops,

and they weren't going to have another

winter of death.

And so they gave thanks.

This year, it's important for us to remember who we are.

So in 2021, we can also celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving by giving him thanks for the miracles that we will see in 2020.

I don't know what those miracles are.

But if you are a thinking person

and you're an honest person,

you know that it's going to take miracles for us to turn things around, for us to just survive as a nation.

Our history has

all but been stolen from us.

Our kids don't have any idea what real history is.

They don't know who people are,

they don't know who the pilgrims were.

I want you to go to a website, 400th

for the number 400th.org, 400th.org.

This is a place where you can start your journey and look and see what you need to read at your Thanksgiving table.

You can get a PDF there,

and it has everything that you need for your Thanksgiving table.

The stories that you tell, it's very short, but it's packed full of all kinds of stuff.

But start the tradition.

You must teach your children the truth about how we started.

We did not start coming for gold.

We did not start coming for dominion over others.

We didn't.

In the room that I'm sitting in right now, this is where the first treaty with the Native Americans began.

In this room, on this spot.

And it is remarkable.

to me that most people don't know that that treaty was broken by the Native Americans, not the pilgrims.

We had a 54-year-old treaty with them and peace with them.

But we were changing their culture, and the chief didn't like that because the part of the culture that we were changing was getting rid of torture.

Don't, you're going to kill your enemy.

Don't torture them.

And it wasn't us that said it.

It was the Indians who saw the

pilgrims and learned what they taught and realized that's not in line with anything good.

And that's why the Native American chief had to go to war with the pilgrims.

But the Native Americans are part of our story, and they are a part of the healing of our nation.

And so I urge you to go to 400th.org, and you will see books about the pilgrims that you need to share with your kids

and

everything else.

And you are responsible for it because nobody else is going to do it.

You are responsible.

They will not get this from school.

They most likely won't even get it from church.

You are responsible for keeping this story alive.

Now that explains why you're at Plymouth today.

That doesn't explain what.

So, why were you at Gettysburg over the weekend?

What was that about?

I wonder.

Yeah, I wonder.

I wonder what that was.

So, let me just tell you a quick story.

All right.

And without answering your question,

the first Thanksgiving happened here, right around the front yard of where I'm sitting, this house.

And

it was truly a Thanksgiving for God

and for others that we served and served us and helped us get through this time of peril.

Then we had George Washington.

And George Washington put a proclamation together that was about thanksgiving and a covenant.

Just as the pilgrims made a covenant, George Washington made a covenant when he raised his hand to the square and he added the words, so help me God.

What happened before and after he took the oath of office, he made a covenant.

We will be your people and you'll be our God.

And that covenant is an if-then proposition.

If you do these things, then these things will happen.

You can believe in God or not believe in God.

You can believe in that there's just certain mechanics that work.

It's why socialism doesn't work.

It goes against the very nature of the universe itself.

It goes against the human nature as man, as an animal.

It doesn't work.

It goes against the spirit of man because it closes down your spirit.

It actually makes you

less likely to help others.

So he made a covenant.

And then, just when we we needed it again,

Abraham Lincoln made one at Gettysburg.

And we must renew the covenant.

If we're going to survive, we must renew the covenant.

And next year, I will tell you part one.

this week and after Thanksgiving I will tell you all of it and tell you how you can

become involved.

But we are going to do restoring the covenant.

And

the part that we can announce today is we are going to be here in Plymouth, Massachusetts

in the last week of June of next year.

And we're going to be here for the last few days on that weekend before the 4th of July.

And we are going to be participating in and enjoying some of the things that the Plymouth Rock Foundation are doing to get us prepared to restore the covenant, to have us understand true history.

If you're anywhere in this area next summer, I invite you to come to the 400th anniversary of the American Pilgrimage in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

It's June 28th through June 30th, 2020, and join us here.

That's all I'm going to announce today.

But I am telling you,

this has been on my heart for a long time.

And the miracles that have happened recently in the last six months to make all of these things come together have been astounding.

So join us in Plymouth, Massachusetts next summer.

I don't know if I would make my plans quite yet.

Just put that on your calendar.

Save the date because there's other things to follow.

That's June 28th through June 30th.

Save the date for next year.

More in just a second.

First,

I want to talk to you a little bit about my pillow.

I stayed at a hotel here last night.

I had to use like 17 pillows.

It had two beds in it.

I had to use like 17 pillows because they were all like these ridiculous pillows.

I miss my pillow.

I miss my pillow.

I miss my sheets from mypillow.com.

You know, I talked to somebody who used to travel with the royals, the Saudi royals, and they used to, they still do.

They would bring their entire bed.

on the plane and then take it to the hotel where they were staying.

And I was like, that's ridiculous.

Oh my gosh, if I had the money like they had, I'd be traveling with my bed too.

Don't kid yourself.

Anyway, if you'd like to crack the code on sleep, get a My Pillow.

Get their My Pillow Sheets.

Station ID.

Welcome to the program.

Do you have like 10 minutes?

You can?

Okay, good.

So, Pat,

have you been to Plymouth?

Never, no.

It is stunning.

It's like, have you ever been to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard?

Pretty much every weekend, Glenn.

Okay, yeah.

No, I don't know.

No, have you never been?

Okay, so I've been, and imagine that place without all the snobs.

Really?

Wow.

That's nice.

That's like this place.

It is so beautiful.

I can't even imagine.

There was a nor'easter that blew in.

It's a little cold here right now,

but I can't imagine what this place is like in the summer.

It is really, really beautiful

and just a great little town right on the water.

What I can imagine is they came in December.

The pilgrims came in December on this boat, and they lived on that boat in the harbor during the winter.

I can't,

I can't even, I can't get my arms around the smell of that boat in the first place.

Oh, man.

But I also can't imagine living in the harbor on an open boat in this weather.

Oh, yeah.

Can you imagine our wives

under those conditions?

I mean, if it's 70 degrees in our house,

I'm cold.

It's cold.

Burr.

If they had conditions like that,

you know what?

Can I tell you something?

There comes a point in a woman's life where they stop saying that, at least temporarily.

Really?

Yeah.

like, well, maybe like every 10 minutes, I'm boiling hot, I'm boiling hot, I'm boiling hot.

Then 10 minutes later, it's I'm freezing, I'm freezing.

Yeah,

however,

you know, I enjoy those 10 minutes when she's not saying, I'm cold.

Yes, how did how did these guys get women onto the Mayflower?

Crazy, you know how cold it's gonna be.

You know, one question I do have, and maybe you know the answer to this, Pat.

Why would they leave

60 days before winter?

Took them 66 days to get here.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

I mean, plan ahead a little bit.

When you say we go in April, right?

Yeah, it would have been beautiful for them in April.

Yeah, maybe did they not get the travel brochures?

Did they not know about Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard?

Did they not see?

They're like,

we're going to have to steer around that Obama house, but it'll be beautiful when we reach the mainland.

Yeah,

that's crazy.

I mean, it must have been, you know, because that was 1620.

There was still,

in fact, that was probably the peak of the Little Ice Age era, you know, when it was actually frigid cold winters in the Northeast.

I mean, worse than now by a lot.

Yeah, by a lot.

We were just coming out of the Little Ice Age.

And I just, I,

it amazes me that people would say that they came here for any other reason.

This was insanity.

And the only people crazy enough to do that stuff are think people that think they hear from God.

Oh, for sure.

You know what I mean?

People, you know, because I know, because, you know, once in a while, I'll feel like he talks to me, like, hey, fatso, put the fork down.

And I'll be like, no, I don't want to put the fat.

You know, that's when you know it's from God.

When he's telling you to do stuff like stop eating so much.

You know, that's when you know.

That's the only reason why you get onto a boat and go across the ocean in the middle of the winter is is because God said, Hey, fat so, you need to lose some weight, you're going to be vomiting for 66 days.

Get on the boat.

All right, back in just a second.

Miss Glenn's special last week, the Democrats Hydra.

Well, you're in luck.

You can watch it for free on YouTube right now.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Welcome to it.

We're in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Not the place to necessarily be in the winter, but I thank you for that.

I want to introduce you to a couple of people.

First, let me introduce you to Ollie DiMosito.

I met Ollie yesterday.

And I want you to, as you're listening in your car or wherever you are, I want you just to realize

this segment is about the impact of two normal people just like you who just

wasn't necessarily thinking big they thought small what is it i'm supposed to do and the results are huge um i also want to inter introduce you uh to uh beth pereira she and her husband uh own this building that we're in now this plot number one, this beautiful home right across the street from Plymouth Rock.

And you felt compelled to do what you're doing.

First, let me start with you, Ollie, because you are, I went to these

float barns where you are building these floats, and every year this

parade tells a different story, right?

Exactly.

How long have you been doing this?

I've been doing it for roughly 25 years, pretty much.

And you're right, it started.

We kind of took it over at a certain time, but I've always had a passion for history, you know, but and I have more of a passion for America.

You know, I immigrated here as a child, so

coming to America when I was a little kid was like coming to heaven, actually.

That's how we felt.

How old were you?

I was seven years old.

And you came from Cape Verde, which is on the west coast of Africa.

There's little islands, they're Portuguese islands.

And so it was a big deal for my family to immigrate here.

And I remember getting on a ship.

and starting the you know the voyage over here and how difficult it was and throwing up the whole way.

But to us, the opportunity, what everyone knew in Cape Verde was America was the place.

Why, why?

Well, because, well, first of all, you only get four years of education over there.

It's very difficult.

You know, for one of my older brothers to go to a different island to get high school education was more than my father made in a whole month.

So it was impossible.

So my mother's dream was to educate her children.

And so all of us have been educated at college and so on.

And we wanted the American dream like everybody else.

It's like my story is not unlike anyone others' stories.

But I just, you know, I have a passion for why America is America and what America has represented for so many,

for so long.

Why is America America?

America is America because it's an idea.

And it's an idea that not only for me as a Christian, I really believe that, you know, it was in God's sight to see that America would be.

There's a reason for it.

There's a reason why America exists and it existed for so many things.

America has totally changed the whole makeup of the world.

The world's a different place because America has existed.

And so to me...

And that's because the idea existed.

Exactly.

And we've never accomplished, fully accomplished the idea.

And the idea is all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.

Among these life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We've never completed that.

And it's crazy to think that the arrogance to think you could come up with a better mission statement for a country than that, especially when we've not gotten close to even completing that yet.

That's because

we're part of that process.

And that's what holds it up most of the time.

Right.

But it's a great idea.

Like, for us, for my family, was really we can go to a place where every dream can be realized.

And I mean that sincerely.

I mean, my dad didn't have anything.

My mom didn't have anything.

But we knew that in America we had a chance.

And it goes deep with inside me.

I have a passion for what I do when we celebrate the parade and we tell America's story because I believe that no one should forget why America exists and why it continues to exist.

And we cannot forget so that we don't allow for why it exists to go away so other people and other generations can't be benefactors.

I want my children, I want my children's children to be able to know why their granddad, you know, or their great-granddad made the voyage to come here.

There was a reason.

I wanted to be free.

And at that time, I didn't even really understand what freedom was.

But I soon began to understand what freedom was.

And it wasn't easy.

So you are, we met at the parade barn or the float barn where you are making these incredible.

You were so funny yesterday because I drove up and I saw one of these floats that was out of the barn that you're still working on and I said to whomever was in the car I said maybe it was you Beth I said Look that that is that the golden spike and when I met you and you said and we're working on some things and and and this is you know represents the golden spike I don't know if you can see it I'm like yeah it looks just like the picture dude I mean there's these two big trains that you have built on the back of this float and you tell what is the theme this year with the parade well the the theme usually always with the parade it's prosperity but the theme with the parade is always is telling the great moments in history where the nation paused to give thanks thanksgiving so and i believe anytime we had great accomplishment like we also having the apollo 11 this year when when this nation has done great things we're doing d-day this year when we've accomplished things that are far beyond what people can even imagine i think the nation has said Thank you, Lord, that we've been able to do these things.

I mean, that was a big deal 150 years ago to have the West meet East.

You know, there's a huge deal.

But this is not something that there's no corporation behind this.

There's no big money behind this.

There's no big people behind this.

It's just you and your church and some other, and it's like a real parade.

It's, I mean, it's like...

Real.

It's not one of these, ah, yeah, we, you know, dressed up the back of our pickup truck.

This is real.

No, it's, it's legit.

You know,

obviously the whole nation has taken notice of what we do.

And I think what we do is that we're different because we do tell a story.

And one of the things that I've always enjoyed about you, you're a storyteller.

And I'm a storyteller.

And I do the stories, though.

in the parade.

I let the people know the greatness of this land and why we so appreciate it and why so many appreciate it.

And we do it every year differently with different events or different historic events or anniversaries that tell a wonderful story and it's knit together by normal people.

You're right.

It's like there's like everybody there.

Nobody's getting paid.

That's right.

Nobody knows who they are.

Nobody knows their names half the time.

But the product is excellent and the story is even better.

I have to tell you,

I went through your barn, and what did I say to you?

Would you come and build a Zeppelin for me?

Because I can't get somebody.

That quality that you have done on these floats is beautiful.

Just beautiful.

So I know you have to go back to work and you're lovely in that outfit.

Thank you.

Do you change?

Do you get a change?

I do.

My wife.

She puts up stuff in the morning.

Sometimes I sleep in my clothes and get up the next morning and do it.

Sometimes we go through the night for the next day.

We're not done to complete it, but it's

when is the parade?

Is it this set?

This Saturday.

This Saturday.

It's always the Saturday before Thanksgiving for the main reason that we want people to still enjoy their grandmas and their uncles on Thanksgiving Day.

We don't want them to be away from their family Thanksgiving Day.

So we do it the weekend before, and you have all the stuff and the excitement of it all, but at the same time, you get to be with your family as well.

Okay, I want to introduce you to somebody else who was remarkable, but I'm going to take a quick break because I don't want to interrupt it.

So let me just change stations and break a little bit early here for you.

I want you to meet somebody else who is just like you and realized, oh, wow,

the country's in trouble and I can do something.

And we'll talk to her in just a second.

First, Relief Factor.

Some people are born experimenters.

I generally am kind of like that, except when it comes to anything natural.

I mean, look at me.

Do I look like somebody who believes in natural remedies?

No.

David is from Pennsylvania.

David found himself suffering from regular pain in his shoulder and his foot.

He heard about Relief Factor early on.

He decided he was going to give it a shot.

Sure enough, when he took it, the pain went away shortly.

Now, most people wouldn't be satisfied by that, but he was like, you know, he's an experimenter.

So about a month into it, he decided to see what would happen if he stopped taking it.

And boom, the pain came back into the shoulder and the foot again.

David learned his lesson.

David does what I do now.

He takes it every single day.

He got back on Relief Factor.

Within a week, his pain pain was gone again.

Yours will be too.

For 70% of the people who try it, you get relief with Relief Factor.

If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, it works for 70% of the people.

So try their three-week quick start for only $19.95.

You're listening to Glenn back.

Beth Pereira and her and her husband Jerry owned this beautiful home that I'm sitting in on plot number one in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

It's right across the street from Plymouth Rock.

I had no idea you even knew who I was when I walked up on Saturday, and it was such a nice greeting.

And the more I just love you and your husband, the more I get to know you two,

you're not people that

you think of as these movement people.

I've been in the movement my whole life.

You're just normal people that realize there's something I have to do.

Exactly.

And I would like to thank you, Glenn, for all the millions of people that you've educated and inspired because

you taught us long ago that

if you

looked for truth, you looked for the good in others, and if you did something with excellent, we're not alone.

And that when a project, something like this, came along of purchasing the site of the first house,

we did it.

I was shocked when I found out that I don't even know what you really paid for it, but the estimated, somebody told me what this was worth, and I thought this would be worth tens of millions of dollars because of the historic value and where it is and it says to me that there's not real appreciation for

what this is, what this street means.

Right.

You know it's the first street in America as you had mentioned and it's

the longest

continuously inhabited street in North America.

And I think as we mentioned with 2020 coming up, I think the spotlight will be on Plymouth, and we have a wonderful opportunity, a wonderful opportunity to

tell the story.

Your husband is from Sri Lanka.

He came here at seven, just like Ollie did.

Yes, he did.

How much of that played a role in the mission with your family?

Well, my husband's dad brought him to America when he was seven years old.

They immigrated, and he learned that America was the land of freedom.

And as our journey progressed,

we found ourselves 20 miles north of Plymouth and heard of the pilgrims and all that they had done to contribute to the birthing of our nation.

And he studied under a gentleman who's now deceased, but he had spent 50 years studying in the archives.

And Jerry spent two nights a week, four hours a night, studying with this man, Charles Wolfe.

And what he learned was that he was a pilgrim.

He was a pilgrim, and that he loved America.

He had always loved America since he came.

What does it mean he's a pilgrim?

What does it mean to be a pilgrim?

To be a pilgrim is to embrace the idea that the pilgrims had when they came here.

They came here for religious and civil liberty.

They came here knowing that all men were created equal in the image of God and to

make the world a better place when you left.

So it allows you to worship God freely, but it also allows others to do the same.

I think we're doing a show at 5 o'clock.

And by the way,

we're going to take phone calls after this broadcast.

And you can call in at 888-727-BECK.

If you want to talk about Thanksgiving,

what to teach your kids for Thanksgiving, we really have to,

really have to pay attention this Thanksgiving.

Because I think, and I think you would agree, we're on the edge.

We're on the very edge.

We are.

And

I think a lot of people are looking for ways to teach that.

And I think

we have materials to teach that about the pastor, John Robinson, how he taught his congregation, what the Mayflower Compact actually said, some of the psalms that sing about the praises and thankfulness of a people that that you've put this you've put this together in a small little PDF that it was easy to have, you know, just on your iPad or your phone at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Just read it.

It's not long, and you can read it and then break it up amongst your family to share these messages.

But you can find that at 400th.

That's for the number 400,

th400th.org.

You can get videos of where we are at right now, this amazing home.

What do you use this for now?

It's used for things like you're doing, for filming.

It's used where

historians come and speak here.

It's used

to

tell the story.

We had visitors from

England last Saturday, and they came just because they left Southampton where the pilgrims originally left and wanted to step into this house and actually pray pray over us.

So every week is different.

Jerry said sometimes people just in the summer they'll just open up the front door in the living room because they think it's like a museum and they're like, no, no, hello.

Yeah, it's our house.

Yeah, a lot of filming is done here.

A lot of

guest speakers come in for the to speak on history.

A lot of pastors come here.

Are you a little overwhelmed at any time

to, I mean, I own some, I own Washington's compass.

I own some really amazing things

and I don't own them I keep them for the next generation and whoever is going to be the steward the next time

do you are you ever overwhelmed of what you're the steward of at times I am and then I think well God called us to this stewardship and so

I

ask him in which direction I should go and it's sobering it is yeah because of the sacrifice of the pilgrims if you really study them you fall in love with them and you think who had that type of courage and passion and

perseverance and commitment to carry out what they did knowing that half of them would would not survive.

I know I heard the story this weekend of the 14 women or 18 women

that made the trip and lasted and got here and then by the end of winter only four of them were alive And it was because they were shielding their children from the cold.

They weren't eating themselves so their children could eat.

I mean, the sacrifice of these people is amazing.

Exactly.

And this is the year of the woman.

So they'll be honoring them.

1920, right?

They'll be honoring them all throughout the year.

And so we invite

everybody to come.

I invite you to, again,

come up for the festival.

You can come up for the parade, which is next Saturday here.

If you happen to want to get involved or you can donate it all for the parade, that's usathanksgiving.com.
