Hey, on today's podcast, there's a lot to cover.
The media is indeed to blame for not covering the Charlotte stabbing.
And I think it's because
of a reason that I haven't heard anybody else say.
Everybody's saying it didn't fit the narrative.
Yeah, well, I think there's something else involved.
I think they
thought that they could cause you to choose violence as a result of them not covering.
Also, what the torch really is, and why is the government not going after people like George Soros, knowing what he is capable of?
What is our duty and our responsibility?
And would you be the bystander on the train?
Or would you be able to stand up for what is right and stop the madman?
That's a conversation that I'm not sure who I would be.
I know who I'd hope I'd be on that train in Charlotte.
But would I be?
And would your family, what would you tell your daughter to do in that situation if she was sitting next to Irina in the seat right across the aisle?
Some deep thoughts on that one, all on today's podcast.
Let me tell you about the Berna launcher.
Not every situation calls for a firearm.
And if you've ever been in that gray area area where something felt off, maybe even dangerous, but you didn't feel justified pulling a gun, then you know exactly why the Burn a Launcher exists.
It's a non-lethal self-defense device that operates like a firearm, but it fires pepper projectiles instead of bullets.
There's no permit required.
It's legal in all 50 states.
Look, the thing was invented by a guy who loves the Second Amendment, but he was in road rage.
Somebody was road raging, and he pulls his car over.
The guy in road rage pulls right behind him, gets out of the car he reaches for his gun in the glove box and is like no I'm not willing to pull a gun and kill this guy that'll just escalate things he said that was the biggest mistake of his life because he was beaten within an inch of his life by this guy who was road raging that's when he decided I want to I want something that I am feel comfortable pulling every single time and that's the burner launcher Do not put
yourself in a situation where you have to choose getting beaten with an inch of your life or pulling a gun.
This is an amazing thing and I don't know why everybody is not giving them to their students as they go to school.
The Burna launcher, it's legal in all 50 states, have to be 18, but it should be with your college student everywhere they go.

Now let's get to work.
You're listening to.
The best of the Benembeck program.
You know, while I was on vacation and I said this when I came back, one of the things that I found in my travels on vacation across the country was that we just, we are people that go from circus to circus.
That's really all that's happening right now.
And this
case in
Charlotte is exactly the same thing.
It is,
it's going from one outrage to another outrage.
And the press knows exactly what they're doing.
And
I believe their silence was an attempt to whip you into violent action.
First of all, they didn't cover it because,
you know, it didn't fit the narrative.
And then after a while, you don't cover it
because, well, wait a minute.
You know, when I silence people, when I don't cover something,
what does that do?
I mean,
They know, they know
you're violent.
You've already been labeled and targeted as a violent extremist.
They honestly are baffled by your non-violent reaction in the last 20 years, okay?
Because they think they know us.
It's so strange.
I had about 30 kids at the house yesterday, and I was teaching
the Declaration of Independence and
our founding documents, and I was,
I got up this morning and I read this and I'm thinking about the press and how they think they know us.
And I felt exactly, I think I felt like Thomas Jefferson must have when he was writing our breakup letter, you know, the Declaration of Independence with King George.
Because in that, it's a plea.
He's saying, look, we owe it to humanity.
We owe it to the world and all mankind to, when we're going to do something this big, we owe the world a reason and we owe the king a reason for doing doing it.
And basically he's saying, because you don't understand us, we have been trying to tell you that we don't believe the same things that you do.
You believe you're the king and you have the divine right of the king because God has appointed you to be king over us and
we're subjects.
We're not even citizens.
We're just subjects.
And we don't believe that.
We hold these things to be self-evident.
Okay?
And and that's the way i feel right now that the press thinks they know who we are and they won't listen we've tried to tell them over and over again we've tried to tell the you know anybody reasonable who doesn't vote like us we've been trying to say we're not those people We're not who you say we are.
We don't hate the government.
We just don't trust the government.
And neither do you, quite honestly.
And we shouldn't.
We should hold them accountable.
We know what the problems are, just like you know what the problems are.
You know, many people in your camp are trying to overthrow the United States of America.
I'm not.
I'm trying to return her to her founding principles.
You know, I hold these truths to be self-evident.
You know, we just heard, what's his name?
I want to say, was it Tim Kaine?
that just said that, you know, they say our rights come from God.
Yes, those are self-evident truths that have all that is the American standard.
You don't believe that.
You believe things like King George believed.
I don't.
So how am I the revolutionary today in America?
We're not like you.
You want to tear things down and destroy.
We want to build.
You believe the lie of that, you know, there's...
there are sheep and ranchers and you're the rancher and we're the sheep
some people are just born to be in charge because they know better and because they know better they can get rich by any corrupt way they choose but you you have to pay your fair share play by the rules
and they were gonna make the rules to make it so you can't really ever succeed
They believe they rule not just the world, but our world, our personal world, because they know better, and they're going to force us to live their way.
Sorry, I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and there are certain unchangeable rights that were given not by government, but by God to me and you.
And I have confidence in the supreme judge of mankind.
I have total confidence.
God is not neutral in the affairs of man.
He's not.
We need to do what is right, righteous, and legal.
I believe it is time we start to pursue legal accountability.
We have to demand laws that strip blanket immunity from prosecutors who are refusing to enforce the law.
If you are going against federal laws, The federal government should be able to go after you as a prosecutor.
We have to have real consequences for negligence in office.
There's consequences for negligence on the street.
Why is there no consequence for negligence in office?
Why is it we can have all those people killed in Afghanistan on our pullout and nobody was held accountable?
Nobody.
How is it we can have prosecutor after prosecutor
act in ways that let criminals back out in the streets that are killing over and over and over again.
Our neighborhoods are not safe, our towns are not safe, our people are dying from drug cartels, and yet nobody's held for negligence.
I mean, I'm being nice by saying negligence.
We need
to begin to
look to the law
in all of our states, and it is high time our Congress gets off their fat, lazy asses and starts to prosecute people.
They know, they already know,
they know,
they have all the evidence.
Why is it being bogged down in Congress?
Because many of them are involved.
Well, maybe it's time you appoint a citizens' council.
Maybe it's time to have citizens in charge of oversight of our government.
People who have not been paid off.
People who are not involved in the corruption.
We have to refuse to forget.
We have to refuse to sit down.
We have to refuse to remain silent.
Even though everything you say might be used in in a court of law at some point should things turn ugly
refuse to remain silent you know two months ago I wrote a document I've been trying to figure out how to explain internally and to you as well what the what the torch is
and what our responsibilities are And I wrote a document for
this program
and
we must do, what I feel our duty is to you and to the country.
And I shared it with a couple of people and they were like, I don't know, that's pretty harsh.
And I'm like, how is that harsh?
That is just common sense and it's true.
And I've been sitting on it and been praying on it, been thinking about it.
And you know what?
Today I got up after thinking about all of this stuff last night, yesterday, and today, and seeing what's happening in the world.
And I'm sorry.
I don't care if it's harsh.
I don't care if, I don't think you're going to find it harsh.
I think you're going to go damn right.
But I want to declare what this program stands for and what
our attempt and what we believe, what I believe we should do as a company.
And the good news is it's my company.
So I want to share that with you next hour because I think
it is the same thing you should make as
your duty as well.
Because I think this goes to all of us because we're all in this same boat.
We're all in this together.
And if we don't,
if we, for instance, on this Charlotte story, if we erase Irina's name and just forget about it.
Her death just becomes another casualty of a political narrative war.
And that's what we're in.
We're fighting evil.
And evil is just a political narrative at this point.
That's all it is.
Justice is not persecution.
Justice is not vengeance.
Justice is holding the guilty accountable whether they have a knife in the shadows or a prosecutor's pen in the courthouse
hold people accountable
you know irina deserves that she deserved that we deserve that and if we don't demand it you know the next victim can be any any one of us and i go back to what i told you just a minute ago how the words of the killer coming out of his mouth i guess i got that white girl.
How that reminded me of what was said to me by a crazy man on the streets of Washington, D.C.: Today's the day I'm going to kill me a white man.
As he circled me and pointed at me and looked me in the eye and said it repeatedly,
Today's the day I'm going to kill me a white man.
I mean it.
Today is the day I'm going to kill me a white man.
I got up today and I thought I'm going to kill me a white man.
That was a clear threat.
and that's exactly what happened to Irina and if we don't stop this
you may be the next victim because these people are empowered
they're in the streets
and if they are if they are
whipped up by the media
if they are revolutionaries they need to go to jail.
If they are just crazy people,
they need to be removed from society and put into a treatment program or being held
until they are sane.
But we're not doing any of those things because our mayors are unaccountable.
Our prosecutors are unaccountable.
No one is being held to anything except for you.
That's not a society that will last.
Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.
September is National Preparedness Month, and even if you were, you know, to get ahead of the curve,
you know, you're still behind the curve.
So now is the time to do it.
Whether we're headed for a recession or just more of the same unpredictable chaos, who knows?
But being prepared isn't paranoia, it's common sense.
And that's why I would like to recommend Jace medical they offer practical real-world solutions that help you stay ready not reactive with the Jace case you'll get 10 emergency medications and antibiotics prescribed by a doctor and shipped right to your door now it's not just a good idea it's a game plan for when disaster strikes and for those of us who take daily prescriptions they also offer jace daily giving you a full year supply of your chronic meds so you're not at the mercy of the supply chains or the pharmacy shortages should they come.
During National Preparedness Month, Jace is running a massive sale, even easier to afford.

Now, back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
So, I wrote a document because I am trying to explain to
my staff, to myself, so I can then translate this on what the torch really is.
Because the torch is something that I'm starting in January.
It is a pretty massive move in my career.
And
I...
It's gangly.
It has so many different arms to it, but they're all pulling in the same direction.
And part of that is to expose the truth.
And that's in current events.
And that's what this show is for.
To expose what's really going on, to help you understand not only what happened yesterday, but what it means, what's coming over the horizon tomorrow, and what to do about it today.
And to hold people.
to hold a record of what has happened, because that's one of the other arms of the torch, is history.
And when we think of history, we think of history, you know, the old dusty powder wig kind of history.
But history is happening right now.
What happened in Charlotte is now part of American history.
And you have to know history to be able to see
what happened to a society, what happened to this civilization, and how do we get back if we choose to get back.
So I wrote something a couple of months ago, and I want to share it with you.
It was our principles of truth and duty.
And this was something that I wrote for my staff.
But I think it applies to everybody, you know, that cares to heed the warning.
There comes a time in the life of a nation, a people, or even a single soul, when silence becomes betrayal.
Not because silence itself is evil, but because it allows evil to metastasize.
When the foundations of liberty are under assault through lies, miseducation, bureaucratic rot, or quiet erosion of conscience, it becomes not just advisable, but incumbent upon us to act.
This is not meant to be a call to arms.
This is a call to accounting, a call to record, to expose, to resist the machinery of falsehood with clarity, with courage, and a relentless commitment to the truth.
We have a duty to document.
Now again, this was meant for internal use, but I think this is all of our duty.
We have a duty to document.
We have an urgent obligation to gather, organize, and preserve every fact, every document, every statement, and record, record this.
put it on the record.
Anything that reveals how truth has been suppressed and freedom distorted.
Because tyranny rarely kicks down the front door, it seeps through the cracks, rewritten textbooks, judicial overreach, regulatory capture, and a media more loyal to narrative than fact.
Our mission is to leave no stone unturned.
We must collect evidence from those who have been silenced, the whistleblowers, the scholars, the citizens.
We must document the abuses in education, religion, politics, and the press.
We must preserve the testimonies of those who still remember what America was meant to be so that the record can't be altered by those who wish to remake it in their image.
This is a stewardship, not of history alone, but of memory.
2.
The necessity of public exposure.
To give people information is no longer longer enough.
Collecting information is no longer enough.
Truth locked in a drawer is no different from truth that never existed.
Our task is to make the darkness visible, to shine a light on it so intensely that no rational mind can deny what it sees.
Therefore, we must publish.
We must speak.
We must create platforms immune to the corrosive corrosive pull of centralized control.
If the towers of culture no longer permit dissent, we must build new towers.
If the institutions of learning no longer teach, then we must build new institutions.
We must teach it in our homes, we must teach it in our churches, in our communities.
Through the digital ether, it must be taught.
Truth must be weaponized, but not to wound,
simply to wake.
3.
The importance of naming names.
It is not enough anymore to
condemn evil in the abstract.
The machinery of corruption operates through people, through planners, financiers, bureaucrats, ideologues.
We must, with discernment and precision, identify those who have abused their power, manipulated the system, or enabled tyranny.
Not for vengeance, but for accountability.
A future generation must be able to trace how the fire spread so they may build fire breaks that last.
4.
The spiritual cost of inaction
Though this isn't a religious document, it should be known there is a spiritual dimension to cowardice.
When good men and women fail to speak, they don't merely preserve their safety, they transfer their burden to those who will come after them.
Every truth left unsaid becomes a lie the next generation must live under.
We all will be asked, what did you know?
When did you know it?
And what did you do with what you knew?
We cannot give the answer.
I waited for somebody else.
5.
The power of the individual.
This statement of purpose is not for a mob.
It's not for the crowd.
It is for the individual, the mother, the teacher, the soldier, the student, who still believes the the truth matters, and who's willing to carry the weight of remembering and resisting.
No contribution is too small.
None is too small.
No act of courage is wasted.
You may at some point be the
last light in your circle.
That is all the more reason to burn brighter.
To remain silent now is to become complicit.
To act is not optional, it is essential.
Therefore, it is our duty to document, to expose,
to speak,
to teach,
and to stand.
Because in the end,
history is not written by those who whisper in safety.
History is written by those who stood when standing cost them dearly.
That is the path to restoring the promise.
That is our duty, our responsibility,
and our honor.
I don't know how you can find that radical.
I don't know how you can find that to be anything other than
true.
And I share that with you today
because
I knew this when I wrote this,
but it feels more important today as I'm seeing what is happening in
our country, just with this Charlotte thing.
There are people that are
hell-bent in tearing us apart.
There are people people that are negligent.
You know, those people on the train that did nothing.
Now, some did stand up eventually and tried to help, but it was too late.
And I don't know if you could have saved her anyway.
I don't judge those people.
I don't know what was going through their head.
I didn't like the action.
I didn't like the fact that nobody went to her.
You know, the woman sitting across just turned her face, turned her head while this woman is dying on the floor.
I mean, I think you have a, you're going to pay a personal spiritual cost for that.
Although, I could be wrong.
I don't know what was going through that woman's head.
But if we don't act, if we don't, if we only protect ourselves and we don't stand,
you know, this is what we learned learned after 9-11.
Remember, all the planes went down?
Because nobody did anything, because they thought it was only them.
But once that last plane over Pennsylvania,
they were able to get messages to and from their people, their families on the ground.
And once they found out, no, we are just one of many planes being taken down,
they knew
they had to act.
They had to stand together.
Let's roll.
That's heroic.
We have a responsibility.
You have a responsibility to record facts.
So at some point people can be held responsible.
For instance, I am waiting,
I am waiting waiting for this government to hold George Soros responsible for what he has done to the freedom of the West.
There are several countries that will not allow his NGOs in.
He's not welcome in several countries.
They know exactly what he's done.
They know what he's capable of.
They know what he really is trying to do, no matter what he says.
And
we just accept it.
He's doing it to our cities, to our children.
He's helping these prosecutors turn our country into a hellhole, a hellscape, a murder scene.
And we don't do anything about it.
I'm not calling for vengeance and I'm not calling for violence.
I am calling for justice.
I'm calling for common sense.
We must as a nation stand against what he is doing.
And he's not alone.
The code pink thing, they were out trying to disrupt President Trump and J.D.
Vance and Marco Rubio.
Pete Hagseth was there, other officials.
They were having dinner
and they, you know, they're marching out in front and they're trying to, you know, do everything they can to disrupt everything.
They're chanting, they feast while Gaza starves.
Free DC, free Palestine.
Stop terrorizing communities all over the world.
Shut up.
You know, if you were honest maybe maybe i could tolerate it but you're not
you're not
you haven't been honest in anything that you've done and beyond that you are funded by the chinese communist party through neville singham
why aren't we going after him Why aren't we as a nation shutting things down?
And I'm not saying opinions.
You can have an opinion you can march in the street you can say things that I vehemently disagree with but when you are funding organizations who intent their intent is to cause revolution in our country
don't we have a responsibility
we as citizens must document who these people are how they're doing it And then we must call for accountability.
And our government must act.
Otherwise, it ends the way it's ending now on the other side of the globe.
I want to bring you a story that you probably didn't even pay attention to if you even heard it yesterday, but it is a very important
story
because it relates right directly back to you and us.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Oh, hello, Stu, our executive producer, and also hello to our chief researcher, Jason Buttrell.
Hi, Stu.
Glenn, how are you?
You know,
I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train because
my first instinct is they did nothing.
They did nothing.
Then my,
well, sit down and you know
you know you're gonna be judged so be careful on judging others
what would I have done what would I want my wife to do in that situation
yeah those are two different questions by the way I think yeah they are they go far apart from each other I mean what would I want myself to do I mean it's tough to put yourself in that situation it's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism like everybody can do that very easily on Twitter and everyone is.
When you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered someone in front of you and has a dripping
blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you, there is probably a different standard there that we should all kind of consider and maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman.
sitting across
the aisle.
I think there is a difference there.
But when you talk about that question, I think those two questions are definitive.
I know what I would want myself to do.
I'd hope I'd act in a way that
didn't
completely embarrass myself afterward.
But I also think when I'm thinking of my wife,
my advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs.
Now, she might do it anyway.
She's actually, you know, probably a heck of a lot stronger than I am.
But she might do it anyway, but that's a pathetic, but how true.
Yes, that would not be my advice to her.
Now, maybe,
once the guy has certainly is out of the area and you don't think the moment you step into that situation, he's going to turn around and decide to kill you too, then of course, obviously, anything you could do to step in.
Not that I think there was much anyone on the train could do.
I mean, I don't think that there was an outcome change no matter what anyone on that train did,
unfortunately.
But would I want her to step in?
Well, of course, if she really, if she felt she was safe, yes.
But man, I mean, think about you said your wife, think about your daughter.
Your daughter's on that train just watching someone else get murdered like that.
Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?
That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter.
I don't know, man.
I would, I, you know, um, as a dad, would I advise?
Hmm, no.
As a human being, would i hope that my daughter or my wife or that i would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train
yeah
um i would hope that my daughter my son that i would and you know i have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than i would um but uh
you know i think i have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else and i I'm not sure that, I'm not sure what I would do in that situation.
I know what I would hope I would do, but I also know what I fear I would do.
But I would hope that I would have gotten up and
at least tried to help her, you know, help her up off the floor, at least be there with her as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.
And that's the other thing we have to keep in mind.
This all happens so rapidly.
A minute
will seem like a very long period of time in that situation, but it's a very short period of time in real life.
Yeah, you watch the video, Glenn.
I don't need the video to change my position on this,
but it does seem like there was
someone who did get there eventually to help, right?
Like I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And tried to give her CPR and it, you know,
no hope at that point.
But how long of a time period would you say that was?
Do you know off the top of your head?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I know that we watched the video that I saw.
I haven't seen past
30 seconds after she
is down.
And, you know, for 30 seconds, nothing is happening.
And, you know,
that is not a very long period of time
in reality.
Especially, I saw the pace he was walking.
He certainly can't be, you know, he may have left the actual
train car by 30 seconds to a minute, but he wasn't that far away.
Like he was still in visual - he could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point.
So certainly still a threat, I guess, is my point.
He has not left the area.
This is not that type of situation.
You know,
look, as you point out, I think, you know, if I could be super super duper sexist for a moment here,
sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.
You know, I don't know if it's, if that's a,
you're not supposed to say that, I suppose, these days, but like, you know, there is a difference there.
And, you know, if I'm a mind, if I'm a man, you know, I would be, I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose.
You know, I don't know if he could do anything about it, but you'd expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it.
A woman, you know, I don't know.
Maybe
I'm
not sure.
Here's the thing that I, I,
that causes me to say, no, you should have jumped in.
And that is,
you know, you've already killed one person on the train.
So you've proven that you're a killer.
And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her and they're like, she's dying, she's dying.
Get him.
Get him.
Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy.
You know?
And if you don't stop him after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train,
if you're not stopping him,
you know,
the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed.
It'd be the ones that are standing up and trying to stop him from getting back to.
your daughter or your wife or you.
There was a video.
Speaking of men and women and their roles in this, there was a video that was circling social media yesterday,
Sweden, in Sweden.
And it was a group of officials up on a stage and one of like the main, I think it was like a health official woman, collapses on stage, completely passes out.
All the men kind of look away or I don't know if they were looking away or pretending like they didn't know what was going on.
There was another woman standing directly beside the woman that passed out, immediately springs into action, jumps on top, grabs her pant leg, grabs her shoulder, spins her over and starts providing care.
What did she have that the other guys did not, or women?
She was a sheepdog.
There is a, and this is my issue, and I completely agree with Stu, I completely agree with you.
There's some people that do not respond this way.
My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus just people that don't really know how to react.
That is diminishing in Western society and American society.
We see it all the time in these critical actions, I mean, circumstances.
There are men and women, and there's it's actually a meme that fantasize about hordes of people coming to attack their home and family and they sit there and say I got it you guys go I'm staying behind while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hordes to come because I will sacrifice myself there are men and women that fantasize of
block my highway go ahead block my highway i'm gonna do something about it they fantasize about someone holding up a liquor store or not a liquor store a convenience store or something because they will step in and do something my issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing.
Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.
Yeah, I mean, they did not respond.
And we see what happens when they do with Daniel Penny, right?
Like our society vilifies them and tries to crush their existence.
Now, there weren't that many people on the train, right?
Like at least on that car, all I could see in the pictures, and again, it's limited, but I only saw maybe three or four people there.
There may have been more.
I agree with you, though.
Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want, you know, a guy to do,
especially a Marine to step up and stop this from happening.
And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.
I mean,
it's insanity
between that.
The difference between that one and this one, though, is that
the guy was threatening.
Yeah.
This one,
he killed somebody.
Right.
Well,
I think that, but it's the opposite way.
I mean, the debate with Penny was, should he have recognized that this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?
Maybe he hadn't actually acted yet.
He was just saying things.
And, you know,
he didn't wind up stabbing someone.
This is a situation where these people have already already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him.
So if this woman, who's, you know, again, looks to be
an average American woman across the aisle steps in and tries to do something,
this guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.
And I, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful in that situation.
Sarah, can you go to yesterday's sound sheet and see if you can find from yesterday, we didn't get a chance to play it, a guy in England who is, was it Tommy Robinson?
Is he the guy who's in and out of jail?
Yeah.
Okay.
So Tommy Robinson,
there was a protest in his favor.
And,
you know, the police were called and they were trying to arrest people.
And there was one guy who was talking to, I don't know, a reporter or just a podcaster or somebody.
And
he was asked, you know, how can you stand here?
And
you're not even wearing a mask.
So they're going to come to your house and get you.
So are we seeing fewer of these or more of these type of people?
Listen to this guy interviewed in the streets in England.
Well,
you know, trouble is all around him.
Listen to him.
I don't hide my opinions.
I'm
That's what that means.
I'm an Englishman.
I don't wear a mask.
I show my face.
I say my name.
I say, come and get me.
Because I'm correct.
That's all that matters.
Wars aren't won by soldiers.
Wars are won by thoughts.
Wars are won by ideology, by heart, not by the moral high ground, not by soldiers.
Soldiers fight the battles.
Good for them.
Obviously I support them, but that's not the thing that wins a war.
Winning a war comes from moral certainty.
And that's what England's got.
Moral certainty.
And that's what all these people have.
Moral certainty.
They know they're civilised.
They know that they gave that to the world.
They know that they are free and that everybody in the entire world has a debt of gratitude to every Englishman for their freedom.
So no, I don't hide my face, I don't hide my name, and I sure as hell aren't ashamed to talk on your camera.
Isn't that great?
I mean, that's just awesome.
That is awesome.
Are we seeing more of these people or fewer of those people?
Fewer, by far.
And that's what concerns me.
When the amount or the proportion of sheepdogs diminishes and they go away, never ends well for society.
I will tell you, though, at the same time, we saw none of these people five years ago.
We saw no one like that five years ago.
Now you're seeing them all over the world.
And again, you know, the proportion is, you're probably right.
I mean, we're seeing uprisings all over the world and we're seeing, you know, there are thousands of people behind him, you know, and here's one guy.
But
you're also seeing a UK that is well
further advanced than we are.
So where the UK is over.
Oh, yeah.
And where they are, that's the direction they're pushing us in.
I mean,
I'm supposed to bring my daughter when my or my granddaughter, when my grandkids turn 12, I've told them, and I'll take you, I'll take you to see something that you want to see.
Wherever you want to see it, whatever you want to see, I'll take you.
Grandpa and I, grandpa and you will go and see and I'll take you someplace.
And my granddaughter wants to go to Paris.
And I'm supposed to take her.
Her birthday is
this month.
And I'm supposed to take her sometime, you know, on a school break.
And
I keep wondering, I mean, is it going to make it?
Can we go to Paris?
Can we go to France and see it and be safe?
How long does France have before it just falls into a sinkhole?
You know, the same with England.
I'm more concerned about England.
England is, because the people there are pushing back.
They're not pushing back.
In France, they're pushing back because
France is, you know, the government is saying, we're going to cut some of your holidays.
You're going to have to work more.
And that's why they're in the streets.
In England, they're in the streets because they know their country is being taken from them.
They know that the government is violating all of the most basic rights that an Englishman has.
And that's why they're standing up and pushing back.
And I'm very concerned because
the police are not backing down you know they just the the the governments just keep pouring more fuel on these fires
