What Everybody Is Missing in the Karmelo Anthony Trial | Guest: Carla Sumarriva | 6/9/26

When you put the right things together, boom! Great things happen. It's like having a chat with the Cambridge Building Society. You'll always find us in Tune with You. The Cambridge Building Society. Mortgages and savings. We can work it out. Father's Day is coming up right around the corner. And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise. We try to find a gift for Dad. Even though most Dads spend their whole lives, you know, insisting, they don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones. They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again over and over. The things that become part of his daily life because they're well made. They're comfortable and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day. They make premium hoodies, great t-shirts, sweatshirts. Everyday essentials made right here in the United States. Their cotton is grown here. Their clothes are cut and sewn here. And the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's americand-giant.com slash Glenn.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Lots to do today. It is Tuesday. Yes, I do know what day of the week it is, barely. But I do know what day of the week it is. Tuesday, I want to talk about the election and the nonsense that is going on in California. We are launching our summer of 250. Our education program will get into that a little bit. Also, people ask me all the time, can you imagine Glenn, what do you think America would be like if Kamala Harris would have won the last election? Oh, I can tell you exactly what it would be like because there is a new report out now from the House Oversight Committee that has just dropped a massive hammer on Tim Walls and Keith Ellison, both of whom, if these are true, should be in prison. I want to explain and you'll understand what America would have been. I mean, we just dodged a bullet. That bullet was so close, it was like it nipped our ear just as it did in Butler, Pennsylvania. I mean, the Republic was this close to peril if these guys would have won. You'll understand, blind eyes, stolen billions, and the price of betrayal in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about pre-born. Somewhere along the line, a society that produced an awful lot of boys stopped turning nearly as many of them into men. A man accepts responsibility. He protects those who depend on him. A man doesn't run from a challenge because he arrived earlier than expected. And one of the fastest ways for a boy to discover whether he's ready to be a man or not is if he finds out that he's going to be a father. That's one of the reasons work of pre-born matters so much. When an expectant mom visits a pre-born clinic, she receives a free ultrasound, and sometimes all it takes to wake up the man inside of the boy is a realization that somebody is counting on him to show up. Today, you can help another father experience that same call to the satisfaction of ultimate responsibility for just $28. You can sponsor an ultrasound through pre-born and help expectant parents, both mom and dad, see a future filled with life and compassion and the hope of God's love. To donate, just dial pound 250, say the key word baby. That's pound 250, key word baby. Or go to preborn.com slash beck. It's preborn.com slash beck sponsored by preborn. So a House Oversight Committee has just come out with a report and it's dropping the hammer on Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh and Attorney General Keith Ellison. This report now exposes they both knew about the taxpayer fraud programs, the welfare programs as far back as spring of 2019. That's $9 billion. That's billion with a B, lost to Medicare fraud alone in one state since 2018. Another $300 million stolen from federal child nutrition programs meant for kids. Feeding our future and its cronies, feasting while the system was looted. Now here is the worst part. They didn't just fail to stop it. They had the authority, they had the clear authority to suspend payments, investigate and shut it down. But instead they chose political protection over people's treasure. Question is why? They say fear of political retribution from certain activist communities. Fear of being called racist or Islamophobic. So instead of guarding the taxpayers money, they guarded the fraud machine. Now I want you to hear this. There is one thing about not catching it. There's another thing to turning a blind eye. And then it's an entirely different category. When you take the whistleblowers, the public servants with integrity trying to expose it and you retaliate against them. And the retaliation was vicious. Private investigators were sick on these people and were told to dig into their lives. Photos of their cars and their homes. Monitoring of their phones and their computers. Questions about their school kids. You know when I say questions about the school and the kids, it's like this. You got a kid going to Roosevelt Elementary, don't you? You shame something happening there, huh? That's the kind of retaliation. Check-ins from the top. Threats of military-style surveillance. Warnings to stop digging or be labeled bigots. They had hotlines that were supposed to be anonymous and it would expose who was calling. They blocked the tip lines. They shamed and punished anyone who dared to speak the truth. Wow. Now that's a different category, isn't it? That's totally different than I didn't know what was going on. Totally different than, okay, I knew what was going on but I didn't say anything. This is, I knew what was going on. Quote, I'm afraid, so I'm going to make others very afraid and I'm going to use every tool in the tool book. That is, that's crazy. Turning a blind eye to billions vanishing and then actively silencing those who are sworn to protect the system. Public officials, elected, appointed, betraying their oaths, betraying the people of Minnesota and betraying you and me. Let me tell you, if this is proven in a court of law because here in America, you are innocent until proven guilty, they should face the full weight of justice and the full power of the federal government. You swore to protect the people. You swore an oath to protect the state, the Constitution, the public treasury, not to play politics while people are enriching themselves. Turning a blind eye to rampant theft, malfeasance, obstructing justice by intimidating whistleblowers, that's a crime against the Republic. That is, that you should face the harshest penalty, not the death penalty, but the harshest penalty a public servant can ever face. You should go to life in prison for what you've just done. Removal from office, not enough. Finds, not enough. But no one is above the law. Not governors, not Attorney General, not their enablers. You know, and we don't do show trials. We don't do political revenge. We're not supposed to. I'm not advocating that. We do justice, blind, impartial justice, rooted in evidence and the rule of law. But make no mistake, accountability is not optional on this one. If you are a leader and you loot the public purse and punish the righteous, Americans need to demand that those politicians answer for it. And I mean, I mean, demand it. You have a right to assemble. You have a right to petition. If this one goes down and these guys walk away, it's the end. It's the end. Glenn, what do you think the Republic would be like today if Kamala Harris would have won? You tell me. Look at what this guy was doing. Look at what he was willing to do to protect himself. First thing, none of this would have seen the light of day. All of this would have remained covered. Tim Walsh would have been vice president sitting right there in the White House with all of the machinery of the federal government behind him. Imagine the same corruption. Billions stolen whistleblowers crushed, not at a state level, but scaled up to the entire country. Can you imagine the damage that they could have done at the federal level? It would have been catastrophic. Trillions potentially funneled away under the cover of equity or political fear. The House of Cards just would have kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. The lies deeper, the grip tighter. Imagine. Thank God the American people saw through this in 2024. Thank God we had a chance to root this out. Let me say that again. We have a chance to root this out. Chance. And I believe we have one chance. The job isn't finished. If I read another one of these reports that go absolutely nowhere, I'm going to lose my mind. We have a chance to root this out. This has got to stop. And this isn't just about Minnesota. This should be a warning to every politician. I don't care Republican, Democrat, Independent. Every politician should be put on notice. And all of us should demand we root this out, this rot in our system, no matter the place, the party, or the person. No sacred cows, no protected classes, no more blind eyes, because it might offend the wrong voters. Every voter should be offended by what has just been done. This is spiritual darkness. Idols of power, idols of political survival over truth and stewardship. This is bad. And it happens in history. Empires, they always fall from the inside, not from the outside. Leaders who forgot that they were servants, not masters. I read a book once. What did it say? Something like, whoa unto those who call evil good and good evil. We're living it, gang. We're living it. Let me say something to the whistleblowers. Thank you. Thank you. You should sue. The state should pay you a buttload of money. And you should sue not just the state, you should sue Wals and the attorney general and anyone else that was involved. They put you through hell. You're the remnant. You're the watchman. Stand firm. Thank you. Stand firm. Thank you. Thank you for doing it and know that you are now an example that the truth always wins. Eventually the truth comes out. And to every leader, fear justice. Fear God. Not the mob. Honor your oath. Or you will be exposed. To those who are going to try to take this and cover this up, again, fear God, not the mob, fear God and justice. Because come hell or high water, the American people are not going to take it much longer. We're not going to have you steal from us while we're trying to feed our children. You're stealing from us. We're the ones working. We pay your salary and you're stealing from us. I'm telling you when the American people, when that really truly connects and they stop playing stupid politics, you are in trouble, my friend. Stop playing this game. To the people, this is our republic. Reclaim your republic. Demand transparency. Support real oversight. Build a strong family. Build a strong community. Strong character. Feed hope every day. Reject all of the lies. Choose right right now. Choose who you are going to serve. The God of truth or the failing gods of this age. Because only one of them is going to stand. The gates of hell are raging right now. They're not going to prevail because good always wins in the end. Even if I don't see it in my lifetime, good will win in the end. Darkness will not conquer us if we stand as free men and women under God. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor. Paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency. Okay, you never, when you were a kid, you're never like, you know what? I'm going to be in the construction business because I want to do the paperwork. Never. Never. You know, I want to, I want to start my own company because I want to deal with insurance providers. No, it didn't happen. So what are you doing? You run business. You run your business. You are trying, you're trying to keep your head above water. The last thing that you need is somebody stealing the focus from you and saying, are we covered for that? And they're like, I don't know. We should check in to see if we're covered. We should know if we're covered, but you don't because it's all paperwork. This is why I like Super Sure. They understand that business owners have better things to do than spend hours trying to figure out coverage and options and chasing down documents or sitting on hold, listening to some stupid elevator music that sounds like it was recorded during the Carter administration. Super Sure makes it really easy to get the coverage your business needs and manage through a simple straightforward platform. Right now you can go to super sure.com. Slash back.

Well, here we are on our 250th birthday just right around the corner. America has been standing as a beacon of hope for 250 years all around the world. We have had good days. We've had bad days. Good times, bad times. It's been the best of times. It's been the worst of times. It's been all of it. But our job is to build a more perfect nation. To build a more perfect nation. Not a perfect one because our founders were too smart for that. They knew we're never going to build a perfect one because we have all kinds of stuff that we do that suck. We have all kinds of things that we have done in the past and probably are doing today that stink on ice. I don't know. Taking food out of children's mouths. Actually having the balls to say, we're developing a program to feed children. And then taking that money and it's all corruption. It's all going to another country or going to one of your fancy NGOs that are not feeding children. It's despicable. It's despicable. So what is the answer? It's the founding principles. It's all it is. If you read, actually read the Bill of Rights, you'll understand every story that you read every day. You'll understand. Oh, you're like, oh, I see. That's because we violated the Fifth Amendment. That's why we violated the Ninth Amendment. We violated the First Amendment. Whatever it is, everything that you see that's going wrong in our country, it's because we have violated the Constitution or the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence. Every single time. Prove me wrong. Try it. Every day, look at the stories and then look at the Constitution, the Declaration or the Bill of Rights and find where did we go wrong. You'll find it every time. I've done it for years. You'll find it every time. The problem is we don't know. We have no idea what those principles are. So if you want us to survive the next 250 years, the next 250 days, may I suggest you join us for the summer of 250 at torch250.com. Today, we are launching the summer of 250. It is full of original music all through the summer and every song. Can I play a little bit of Five in the First, please? It's available today for your family and it's built to be an earworm, something you won't be able to get out of your head because I want your kids to know the five freedoms in the First Amendment. Here they are. Yeah, we're talking about the first amendment number one. The founders wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone. It's not just history. It's something that we use. So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to choose. So turn it up and say it loud. These are rocks we should be proud of now. Freedom of religion. I can't choose what I believe. The love of speech. Say my first song is Lee. Freedom of the press. I'll print the truth, let it flow. To assemble. Meet in peace, let them know. Petition. Yeah, we get to disagree. Yes, the government to change things, not believe. That's five in the first, five in the first one. Five in the first, five in the first one. Okay, it's called five in the first. And it is the first of 10 songs for the 10 amendments that will be released over the next 10 weeks. It'll all come out on Apple or wherever this fall. But you'll get a chance to have it for your family this summer just because you're a torch member. And with each one, this won't come out with the songs in September, with each one is kind of a study guide, a conversation starter with your family. And it is, it's written in ways to cover everybody over eight. And under eight, just play the song, just let them sing it. So they drill those words into their heads. It's my hope that someday somebody's gonna go, I've got a right, which one? I under the first amendment, which one? And they'll be like, freedom of the gender, freedom of the press. And they'll sing through it and they'll remember what the five rights are in the first amendment. So you get all of these and the study guide away for you. I mean, I hear this from adults. You can't take on Islamists because of freedom of religion and the first amendment. No, no, that's not true. You want your children to be able to argue that. They will, they'll be able to take on that argument. If they get the study guide and you just walk them through it and it's meant to have conversations with your kids. Trust me, I have a hard time teaching stuff to my kids. They don't listen to me. I'm sure you feel relatively the same. This a great study guide. We begin with the first amendment. It's available now torched250.com. That's torched250.com. Become an insider and help support our mission of education and saving the Republic. All right. Let me tell you about rough greens. I have a big problem with two names, Laurel and Hardy. If you were listening to the show yesterday, you know that I'm doing everything I can to avoid adopting two dogs my wife has fallen in love with. They were abandoned on the side of the road and I named them Laurel and Hardy. Shouldn't have done that. Next thing I know, my wife is like, let's pick them up. We bring them to the ranch. Now she's feeding them. She's bringing them to the vet today to make sure they're okay. She's hugging them all the time. Please, for the love of Pete, please, if you're interested in two ranch dogs, call me Laurel and Hardy on the other phone. I just have to convince her to let them go. Anyway, we're giving them rough greens. We're giving them great food because they've got to beef them up. They were so emaciated and we're giving them rough greens because those are the kind of nutritious supplements that your dogs need. Okay. And we're happy about it. We know how to get them healthy. Laurel and Hardy. Oh boy, we're feeding two strange dogs now. You can get a discount. You get the first bag free with rough greens, ruffgreens.com, roughgreens.com. Promo code is Beck. That's roughgreens.com. Coming up, more weird California voting rules are coming to light and apparently same people are wrong to notice. Glenn impacts the latest on the Glenn Beck program. Next. I just saw some comments on YouTube. People are going, that's AI slop that song. No, it's not. No, it's not. I wrote the lyrics. I did use AI to shape the sound of the song, but then I gave it over to Aaron Edson, who is a producer and a writer. And he has been, he's the one that's singing this particular song. We've hired all kinds of singers to do it. The musicians came into a studio. I mean, it'd be interesting to see the musicians and the studio engineers and Aaron himself realizing today, he's waking up today going, oh my gosh, I'm just nothing but digital code. Nope. I don't believe in AI finishing everything, doing everything. I believe using AI to assist you is good. All of this is done in a studio. So if you're listening to any of these songs and you care, these are real people playing everything and singing everything. So there you go. Now you find it, by the way, at torch 250, torch 250. Now let me go to Jason, bring Jason in, because Jason, there's a couple of things that drive me out of my ever loving mind. First of all, let me go to, let me go to the sod here. Let me see if I can find it here. The sound that we got yesterday. Let me see if I can find it. Where's our gubernatorial candidate? Here it is, Steve Hilton. On the mail-in ballots, this is amazing. This is Steve Hilton, who is now looks like he is going to be in the top two. So he'll be for the gubernatorial race in California. He's exposing how bad things are in California. Listen to this. This mail-in ballot, seven days after the election, the argument is, well, we want maximum participation. So if someone wants to vote on election day, we're going to treat sending in a mail ballot the same as if you were voting. That's why we're going to give seven days for the ballot to arrive. But there's a line in the law that says that actually the proof that you mailed your ballot on or just before election day, even if it arrives after election day, it's not just the postmark. You can write it. You can handwrite the date. Wow. And that counts. I was talking about this at the last elections. I had a whistleblower from the postal service explaining this. So just to be really clear what that means, you can backdate your ballot. By hand. By hand. And it will be counted. That's how insane this system is. Okay. This is this. So you know, they say fraud, fraud's happening, fraud's happening. No, it's a lot of it is legal. They have rigged the system. They have made it so nobody's breaking any laws. Nobody's going to go to jail. It's all part of the system. We think you got a ballot. You got to get a postmark by certain. No, not in California. You don't. No, you have a pen and an envelope. You just write today's date down. No, sorry. You just write election day's date down, not today's date. Turn it in and you're fine. That's insanity. And Jason was just talking to the insiders here during the break and he was saying he feels like this is the Rosetta Stone that we are going to finally wake up and see how this all works. Jason. Yeah, I think what's interesting from the Rosetta Stone analogy is the reason why we have the Rosetta Stone is because in the king of Egypt's arrogance, in his arrogance, he decided that he wanted to glorify himself and he wanted to make sure it was in multiple different languages. So everyone in the realm knew exactly how to glorify the king of Egypt. And that was the tipping point, the final key so that we could translate Egyptian hieroglyphics. I see this moment right now as the Rosetta Stone for understanding and even talking about everything that's happening right now with our distrust in many of these states with some of their elections. I mean, what Steve Hilton was just talking about right there goes right along lines with an election insider that we talked about in multiple other states. We both know him, a friend of ours. I just want to quote from how he said these elections work. He said, the reason why Democrats like many days of voting, no signature verification and ballots able to be counted after Election Day is so they can see the Election Day turnout, determine the deficit and immediately go out and find all the votes they need. Now, this is exactly what we've been thinking about, but here's what we've been calling it fraud. We've been calling it things like that. That lets election, you know, the mainstream media come out and say, provide evidence that's fraud, provide evidence this is illegal. Well, the last point that this person that I was talking to said, now here's the here's the kicker. This is all perfectly legal in blue states because of blue state laws. And I think that's where we're missing a lot of the, you know, I think the language and the thing that we really need to be focusing on here is the laws that are disenfranchising millions of voters in many of these states where they have just atrocious election laws. I want to show this right quick. This is, this is the LA County mayor. This is a graph that showing the, you know, the vote turnout as you get over on the left here, it shows exactly what drove everyone really excited. If you're, you know, a Spencer Pratt fan or any fan that does not want to see, you know, LA crumble into dust, it showed Karen Bass in the lead as per expected, then it showed Spencer Pratt and then ramen at the very bottom. Now, as per what I was just reading you about how these laws work, you can see at some point after they decided which votes allegedly that they needed, you can see at a certain point, all of a sudden, ramen's votes just completely start escalating like crazy while Karen Bass is just flat line. They absolutely flat lines. Are you're telling me that in a deep blue city, there's not at least some of those Mellon voters that start voting for Karen Bass. There were minuscule amounts, but the vast majority started going towards ramen and negative, it looked like negative votes for Spencer Pratt. That does not make sense, but it also, the theory holds for ballot initiatives. I want to show this next graph. This is hilarious. This is County Measure ER for LA County for an increase in sales tax. Now, of course, election night, right when they're started, the polls open, the vast majority said no. Of course, we don't want an increase in sales tax. That's ludicrous. Then that point where they need to find the votes, all of a sudden it just skyrockets in the Mellon counting. And now, apparently, allegedly, most people at LA County want to pay more in sales tax. It makes no sense. We now have the Rosetta Stowe that says these are the laws that we need to target. These are the laws that are disenfranchising voters. This is what we have to make moves on. Now the question is, will Republicans do it? No. I'm sorry, it took me so long to decide. The thing that really gets me is that if you kept the election night numbers secret, I would have less of a problem. I'd still have a problem with it. Don't get me wrong. But I'd have less of a problem with it because what you just said a minute ago, all you have to do is know what the deficit is. I can make that up. We'll just make it up over the next 20 days. I'll make up that deficit. I'll just back date some more ballots and we'll make sure that we get that. This is something that Californians should understand. When you do the Oscars, the freaking Oscars, they guard that like it's nobody's business. Do you remember in the day when people used to watch the Oscars and they would say, and now these are the ballots as tabulated and held in secret by Pricewaterhouse? Maybe California should just hire Pricewaterhouse. Maybe California should just hire the accounting firm of Pricewaterhouse to oversee all of the elections and guard them the way they guard the Academy Awards. I mean, they guard that like it is a sacred trust. And then the sacred trust that we actually have to the Republican to the vote, they just pee all over it. It is crazy what their God is. But I suggest that you get Pricewaterhouse to count everything and keep that number secret. You want to do it this way? Okay. I want the election night number completely secret guaranteed and I want the penalty of execution if you leak it. It might be a little extreme, but I don't think so. Why not? Why not? Because that is the biggest problem. They know the number. They know the number. If you know the number and you have created a system where you can just print more ballots and find them and you can do it legally, the whole thing is, but you can't print the number. You can't print the ballots if you don't know what you're aiming for. Can you now? I bet you if you could keep that number safe on election night, they would go out of their mind. If you could say the federal government, the only job the federal government is going to do is just keep the tallies, keep it completely safe, or better yet, Pricewaterhouse, because they have a reputation. If Pricewaterhouse leaks that, Pricewaterhouse would lose all of its clients all over the country. You'd know you can't trust them and so they would go out of business. So they'd actually protect it. If the government was doing it, somebody would squeal because nobody's going to pay a price for that. Pricewaterhouse would. So why don't you get that, California? Why don't you do that? I can guarantee you that no one in California who would be against all you're doing is having an accounting firm, the world's best accounting firm according to the Academy Awards, the world's best accounting firm counting the votes on the election and keeping it secret that nobody knows until all of the votes are counted. They'd never do it. They'd never make that one change. Leave everything else alone. They'd never make that one change. Guarantee it. You gotta ask yourself why, don't you? You gotta have to ask yourself why. Okay, we're going to break. I want to come back. Jason, I want to bring you in. We have to have a conversation about what's happening in Iraq quickly, just so we can keep up to speed as we're following that. Sorry, Iran. I just used to saying Iraq and they're both eyes and they both suck and it's both war. So you know what I mean. Anyway, we'll get into the Iran update here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Legacy Box. I'm convinced that every family has a few stories that would make a great movie. The problem is they don't get preserved properly. You don't know. The story about grandpa met grandma. The story of, actually, that would be a bad movie. Grandpa met grandma. At a dance in Iowa. And it was probably about 1920, 1918. And ladies did not dance with strange men. And my grandfather came over to her without an escort introducing. And she said, he said, may I have this dance? And she said, oh, I don't know you, sir. No, no, thank you. And so she turned him down. They later met again. She didn't remember this. They let her met again. And grandpa never danced with grandma. Never, never. Because he just thought she didn't like to dance. Okay. They danced at their wedding. And that was the last time they danced because he said she didn't like to dance because when he first asked her, she said, no. And grandma, I don't remember being there when grandpa finally said, because grandma was like, I love to dance and he never takes me dancing. And grandpa said, no, wait, wait, you don't love to dance. I'm like, do you guys ever talk? No, apparently. And that's how they stayed together for 65 years. Anyway, let me tell you, let me tell you, if you have great memories, you've got to preserve them. Legacy box. This is why they exist. They preserve the memories that matter the most by digitizing all of your photos and videotapes and film reels and other treasures so they can be seen and enjoyed for years to come. Memories are a little strange. They don't always seem valuable until they're irreplaceable. Irreplaceable.

Dividers can call us names. We're a breath of a world during the democracy. So we're sipping. We just call each other neighbor and friend. We'll be right back. Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways. We lock the doors. We install the cameras. But there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents. They file them with the county. They transfer ownership of your home into their name. And then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is, you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect you from this. And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up. You can immediately act and you can get it out, you can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with home title lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity. I want you to be able to find out if you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it. The promo code is blaze. Blaze is the promo code at hometitlelock.com. You get a free title history report. Plus a free trial of their million dollar triple lock protection, 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any changes, and if fraud occurs, the U.S. based restoration team will spend up to a million bucks to fix it for you. It's hometitlelock.com. The promo code is blaze. Hometitlelock.com. Promo code blaze. All right. So Donald Trump, this is going to come as a surprise to you. Who goes to the next game last night, play cut 13, here he is. This is what happened when they showed him on the big screen. Oh my gosh. Are they booing him? They're booing him in New York. Who would have seen this coming people? He's underwater in New York. Who would have seen it coming? Relax. Relax. It's the people who put mom, Donny in office. Relax. Now, is he having his best day? No. And that's mainly because I think people are like, hey, my gas is getting really expensive. What the heck is happening with Iran? Can you give me an update on that, Jason? So there's actually a big update this morning. This morning, Sinkcom confirmed that there was a downed Apache helicopter off the coast of Amman. They have not actually explained why the Apache went down, at least not as of now, but both crew members were safely rescued this morning. So that's some good news, some bad news and some good news. President Trump is still looking for what is now being called a homerun deal. And that has been, I guess, the elusive part of this that has been going on for the past several months. Pakistan, though, Glenn, we have nothing to worry about because Pakistan has just made an announcement that they're working on it. They're on the case and they're going to make sure that there is a good deal that's being done right now. Oh, isn't it, wait, aren't most of the IRGC members either Afghanis or Pakistanis? I mean, Pakistan is on it. We got it. Yeah. Yeah. Let's just say I question the Pakistanis motives here. Just a little bit. Yeah, I don't. Wow. Yeah. Maybe it's just like, you know, one of the biggest things we were worried about after 9-11 in Afghanistan was probably the Pakistani intelligence and the coordination with the Taliban. Yeah. Yeah. So now. Well, take it from Jason, who's questioning the ballot count in Los Angeles. So what does he know? I, yeah, I don't know. I think this is a much longer conversation about what we're expecting to get out of this. Maybe we can have that conversation. And I was going to, yeah, we have to have that conversation because I'm bothered by the, what was it, home run deal? Yeah. Is that what they called it? Home run, a home run deal. I have a feeling I probably define home run differently than the administration is defining it right now. Are we moving the overton window? I'm not sure. But hopefully a deal can be made. Let's hope and pray. Keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can, you know, put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm not in all situations, you know, but they can go bad fast. There is a tool for this. It's the burner launcher. It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful, non-lethal lesson. It's legal in all 50 states, no permits or background checks required.

I had to tell you, I saw a video yesterday from MS Now, and they were interviewing people by the reflecting pool in Washington DC. And I don't know if you're following this at all. It's such a non-story. The reflecting pool was fixed by Obama, maybe then again by Biden, and of course they don't know what they're doing with construction, so they botched it. It's been leaking, it's bad. It always has this kind of green pond scum look to it, especially in the summer. And Donald Trump, they had to fix it, so Donald Trump said, I'll fix it. Nobody can fix it like I can fix it. They said it couldn't be done now. Look at it now, everybody's talking about it. I can fix it. And so he did fix it, but he decided that it should be a reflecting pool. And what is a reflecting pool? Reflection usually of the sky. The sky is blue, so when you add a little blue into the reflecting pool, you know, into the tile, it just looks great, looks tremendous. Nobody thought it could be done. Well, I want you to listen to a couple of people who MSNBC found in DC to talk about the reflecting pool. Listen to this. I would have preferred to keep it like it was. It's an incredibly stupid idea. I'm delighted that it's still reflecting. I think it's horrible. The color I've seen on the news is disgusting to me, as opposed to how beautiful it was in the past. These people are pun scum. These people are actually standing. You could see the pictures side by side. One is green like pun scum. One is clean and blue, and they fight it disgusting. I think it's disgusting. I think he should be shot. They are so crazy. There is no common sense anymore. You got, you really got to tone down your hatred of the president and separate him from some of the things that are going on. It's clear. One kept having to be fixed. This one, I guarantee you this one's not going to be leaking, because I've seen Donald Trump do the ice rink. And you know, when he did the ice rink in New York, everybody loved it. Everybody loved it. Now that he's president, the guy can't do a damn thing right. Why don't we reset ourselves into some principles here? And I want to talk about that in 60 seconds. First, simply safe. There is a reason civilization, you know, works. And it isn't that everybody is good. It's that a small number of people who aren't good know there are consequences. People are far less likely to break the rules when they know that somebody is watching. Far less likely to take what doesn't belong to them when they know they're going to get caught. They're far less likely to cause trouble when they know trouble is coming back at them right away. That's why the the advertisement of consequences often is more important sometimes than the consequences themselves. And that's one of the things I like about simply safe. They understand that sometimes the best security system is the one that helps you not just pick up the pieces after something goes bad. It's the one that makes sure the bad guy has to decide, you know, I really want this trouble or am I going to move along? Active, active guard outdoor protection from simply safe. It will identify threats outside the house before they even reach the front door. Trained agents sees what happens, speaks directly through the system. They're out on the lawn. Excuse me, sir, can I help you? They intervene in real time. Get 50% off your new system now by visiting simply safe.com slash beck. It's half off at simply safe.com slash beck. By the way, I need to apologize to all the snowflakes on the left. I identified that robber on the lawn as a him. It might have been a her, he, she, it. I don't know, but they'll protect you from all of those things. There is no safe like simply safe. I want to go to talk to you a little bit here about the summer of education. The summer of 250 is what we're calling it. America has, you know, we're celebrating our 250th birthday. It's pretty amazing how half the country, and I've got a poll on this in about an hour that'll show you what Democrats actually think about our country. It is so sad and so stunning. But, you know, some of us are celebrating the summer of 250 and America's celebration of freedom. But to guarantee that there is going to be another, you know, even 250 days, 250 months, let alone 250 years, we have to learn who we are. You know, people, humans are designed to live by story. When you tell a story, people understand it and they, and they know how to operate within the framework of that story. That's why the left has worked so hard to destroy our story. You have to have a storyline. Okay? When you reconnect with a storyline, it is human nature. You connect and now you can see the future. You can understand the past. You understand what you're doing at the moment. You know where you're going. And so we've done a lot of things for the summer of 250 at Torch. And this all comes with your Torch membership at glenbeck.com. Torch, but an easy way to get there if you aren't a member is you just go to Torch 250. And you'll find all of these things this summer with your Torch membership. Commercial free episodes of the American story. We started this about 12 weeks ago. Right now, is it today or tomorrow, Ricky, that we're posting an additional five episodes? It's tomorrow. Tomorrow. It's two full seasons of the American story. And we start at the very beginning. We start, you know, with Columbus and the Pilgrims coming over, why they came over, what that was like. It's a harrowing tale all the way through the revolution. You know, this next chunk, I think, takes us up to the Civil War and through the Civil War and then through Reconstruction. But you will understand the American story. And it's based on David Barton's book. If you haven't read it, you should, the American story. And written by Nathan Nipper. And it is something that we have spent each episode. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it takes 18 hours to produce each episode. Something crazy like that. One million. One episode. Actually, one million hours is correct. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Ricky. The one episode had 400 different tracks on it, which is, which is movie like. These are epic in the storytelling. If I would have learned history this way, I would have known it and would have loved it since I was a kid. Also, we have Chasing Embers, which is a book about history that is coming out for kids and family. It's a dystopian tale that, that I came up with years ago. And one of my, one of my staff members who is absolutely one of my favorites. She took this story and shaped it. And now we've taken it into an audio book and that'll be released, I think beginning in a week or two. And the first of 10 original songs to teach the, the, the 10 amendments, the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights comes out today along with a lesson plan. So you're, you can help your kids understand. And it's, it's not like schoolwork. This is designed, you can make it like schoolwork if that's what you want. If you're a home schooler, but it's also just to have conversations with your kids on the Bill of Rights. So let me play the full song. This is not AI. This was studio done. And we have 10 of these that are coming out. And my goal is to make it an earworm. So it will hang with you every day because I want your kids and you to be able to say, when the Bill of Rights, right now, when I say to you, name the five freedoms in the Bill of Rights, can you do it? Most people will struggle, but trust me, you listen to this song and have your kids listen to this song for a few times. They'll know the five freedoms. They'll know it because schoolhouse rock, that's how we all learn so much stuff with schoolhouse rock. So here's the five and the first, the first song on the Bill of Rights. So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to choose. So turn it up and say it loud. These are rocks we should be proud of now. Freedom of religion. I can't choose what I believe. The upper speech. Say my first song is Lee. The upper press. I'll print the truth, let it flow. To assemble. Meet in peace, let them know. Petition. We get to disagree. Yes, the government to change things. Not believe us. Five and the first five in the first one. Five and the first five in the first one. It doesn't mean be rude. It doesn't mean be mean. It means your voice can matter in the way you speak and dream. From YouTube to your front line. From a protest to a song. The first amendment's there so your voice can remain strong. So write it down, make a sound, five freedoms, circle around us now. Freedom of religion. I can't choose what I believe. The upper speech. Say my first song is Lee. The upper press. I'll print the truth, let it flow. To assemble. Meet in peace, let them know. Petition. Yeah, we get to disagree. Yes, the government to change things. Not believe us. Five and the first five in the first one. Five and the first five in the first one. But who, what would happen if we ever lose? The basic right to choose. What makes us me and you? And that is why the founders all agree. To last for centuries, we were gonna need. Freedom of religion. I can't choose what I believe. The upper speech. Say my first song is Lee. The upper press. I'll print the truth, let it flow. To assemble. Meet in peace, let them know. Petition. Yeah, we get to disagree. Yes, the government to change things. Not believe us. Five and the first five in the first one. Five and the first five in the first one. Freedom of religion. I can't choose what I believe. The upper speech. Say my first song is Lee. The upper press. I'll print the truth, let it flow. To assemble. Meet in peace, let them know. Petition. We get to disagree. Yes, the government to change things. Not believe us. Five and the first five in the first one. Five and the first five in the first one. That's five and the first. And there are 10 different songs for all amendments. They are going to be released in the fall as an album. You'll be able to get it at Apple, iTunes or whatever. You get your music. It'll also be on Spotify. But this summer, because it's coming out with lesson plans for you and your kids, I wanted to make sure that we had all kinds of stuff on the website and on the app. So you would be able to, when you're taking your vacation, you're driving across the country, driving anywhere, you can listen to these things. You can have these conversations. You can listen to the stories, America's story. You can listen to a great audio book that teaches about history. That is my goal for the torch. That is something that I, this is the last chapter. You know, and I say that it could last 40 years, but it's the last chapter of my career to be able to teach these things and to leave the legacy of a group of people, kids mainly, that know the truth about our country and the history. And they learned it well. So we use torch members kind of like guinea pigs at times. And I released some of this stuff early to a few torch members who are homeschoolers, because I wanted to see what they thought and get their feedback so we could incorporate it in. I don't have, I haven't hired a head of education yet. I will be, by the way, tip, but I'm hiring a somebody who can run our education department soon. And so we're kind of just bluffing and doing it ourselves. So we're relying on people who homeschool. And I want you to be a part of that. So go to torch250.com if you're not a member, sign up right now to become a torch member. If you already a torch member, it's already there. It's all near your app and everything that you already are used to. But if you're new, just go to torch250. Sign up. You'll see everything that is coming out this summer. And there is a lot of material for you and your family all summer long. Back in just a minute, let me tell you about Relief Factory. You can't win every battle in life. It's just how life works.

But insiders are just gathering and I like to pop in sometimes and just, you know, meet with the insiders in their local troop. And we did one in Florida and Carla and her husband were there and they are homeschoolers. And so I remembered that. And I said, Ricky, you remember Carla? She was at that and she said, yeah. And I said, she's a homeschooler. If I remember right, can we get her as one of the torch members to guinea pig with her kids? Carla's with us now. Carla, you have three girls, right? Yes. Can you introduce them for me? Sure. And this is Daniela. She is 13 and I have Camila here. So am I right? She is 12 and I have a little one. She's with daddy somewhere. So we'll see how long he'll keep her back. Okay. And you homeschool, you've been doing it for a couple of years. You were going to a Christian school, right? Correct. Correct. They were going to a Christian school for most of elementary and then in middle school. I mean, there were just issues back and forth. In the last, the, the, the spot that broke the camel's back was history. And I was like, all right, girls, we got to do this. And it was a bit of convincing to my husband who never was homeschooled. It's not from the United States. So the concept of homeschool was very different. But I was homeschooled and I just saw the value in that. And I said, all right, let's do this. And that totally moved into his heart and he was okay with it too. So here we are. So, you know, my goal is to be able, and this is our first attempt. So please go gentle. But my goal is to be able to have a history curriculum that is, is augmenting what you do to be able to help you teach history, American history, the founding, the founding documents. And we gave you five in the first and the lesson plan. And you gave us some really good tips on that we're going to be incorporating on the, on the new lesson plans that are coming out. Tell me what the reaction was and what, what, what, what do you thought, what the girls thought of the song and everything else? So we start off with the song. We got the song first. I had heard it previously on the show here, but they hadn't heard it. So I put it for them to go ahead and hear it. They really, well, what do you guys have anything to say? Or did you guys enjoy listening to it? It was catchy. Yeah, very catchy. It was catchy. Camila was, she was like, I can't get the song out of my head. I, I appreciate it. Mission accomplished. Right, exactly. The chorus just, it just, it just rings in your head. And that's like the most important part, you know, the part that you want to memorize, but then you have all the verses that give it that background and that build it. I mean, I think if you listen to it, you can tell what I was driving for. I want them to be able to name the five freedoms. And that's why I just, I mean, I learned a lot from Aisa Bass when they, when they did the song, what is it? All I want is a baby and there was like seven words and that was the entire song. You got the point. All they wanted was a baby. And that's kind of the same thing. Have you guys listened to the American story at all yet? That is, and our things to do, let's go doing a couple of road trips. And so instead of that and listening to dad's sound, you know, music selection, we're going to pop that in instead of have that, you know. Yeah. You guys might, when are you going on the road trip? We're going to be going later this month. So. Okay. So you might, I think later this month, we release Chasing Embers and I don't know if you read that a couple of summers ago. Yeah. Chasing Embers is a kind of a dystopian thriller for teens. And it is, it's, it's, I think you really, really like it. I think you'll really like it. It's interesting. And that will come out right around the time. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. We were listening to bits and pieces of yesterday's show and I know you mentioned that. And Camila was like, Oh, that sounds like an interesting book. So it's, I will be purchasing it. So now they're 12 and 13. They'll probably catch on to it a little bit more. So. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. Carly, I really appreciate it. Thanks for being guinea pig. And please keep us up to speed on, on what we can do better to help you teach your kids. Oh, absolutely. I love, and this is what I was telling Ricky. I love the fact that it teaches the why it teaches the mindset of the founding fathers. And I think that's the most important thing. Yeah. Thank you. Daniela, Camila, God bless. We'll talk again. All right. More in just a second. You'll find all of it at torch 250.com torch 250.com. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is real estate agents. I trust in my life. I've tried my hand at a lot of different business ventures. Someone worked out others. Let's just say they provided a very expensive education. But the one I'm most proud of, I mean, one of them, I mean, I'm really proud of the torch and blaze and I'm proud of the show and all the people I work with. But real estate agents, I trust.com is so far out of my wheelhouse. It's why my brother runs it. It is right up his wheelhouse. He is a servant at nature. He's just the exact opposite of me. But he's really, he has a servant's heart. And he listens to people and he cares about their experience. I mean, he used to be a food and beverage guy and then he was a, you know, a general manager at great resorts and everything else. And so he knows how to take care of people. And when we were talking about real estate, we didn't know how to find a good real estate agent. And he was like, it's got to be people who know how to listen and take care of all of his qualities. So we went out, we found him, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And we've got this down for you. If you're looking for a real estate agent, somebody will listen to you, work for you, serve you. It's realestateagentsitrust.com. Prepare for the next 250 years with Torch's summer of 250, designed to teach our history like never before with music, stories, lesson plans, and more. Find it at Torch250.com. All right. I want to walk you through two stories that ran this week side by side, because together they'll tell you something about one of our, you know, major parties. And, you know, let's be honest, it actually tells us where any of us will end up if we decide that the cause is bigger than the principles. So let me tell you first the story about Graham Platner, Democrat, front runner for the United States Senate in Maine, taking the seat of Susan Collins, and they're calling him Maine's mom, Donnie. That's enough to throw me off the path. But if you like that kind of stuff and you're Democrat, fine. He sells himself as a working class oyster farmer. He is a regular guy, anti-establishment, but it turns out regular guy went to an $80,000 a year boarding school and comes from a family with a lawyer father and a world famous architect grandfather. So not the average guy. And the average guy, if the average guy is a communist that says billionaires just shouldn't exist, he's talked about deadly violence against political opponents. He calls all police officers bastards. And he has said rural white Americans are actually racist and stupid. Oh, and then there's a little thing about that tattoo. He's got a tattoo on his chest used by the Nazi SS. It's inked on his body. He says, I didn't know what that was. That's a, everyone knows what that is. Now on top of that, the New York Times reported that several women who dated him described him as disturbing and intimidating with one of the ex-girlfriend saying he was rough with her. The reaction inside the party? Well, not a lot. Senior Democrat Aide has come out and said, everyone's apoplectic about it, but I haven't seen it. His own supporters, Congressman Ro Khanna, said that his behavior is wrong and toxic. There's a second story I want to talk to you about, and it's the same story kind of this, about a woman named Geneve McDonald. Now, she is a former Maine state representative. She's a Democrat. She was the political director of Platner's own campaign. She wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, blowing the whistle on the man she was hired to elect. Will anyone hear that whistle? She said, when she asked him about the tattoo, he said, ah, it's a military thing, a little problematic, but nothing to worry about. She believed him. She believed him. Then the call started coming from Washington. Have you read about his opposition file? Have you seen it? She hadn't. What she learned was that he absolutely understood exactly what the SS symbol meant. Then there were the old post where he downplayed sexual assault. It disturbed her personally. She was running it. It disturbed her so deeply she quit. And here's those who are desperate for power want you to skip past. After she left, she was offered $15,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement to go quiet. She, thank God, turned the money down. And when she watched the giants of the progressive movement, Bernie Sanders among them, waved the whole thing away with a shrug and a line about, ah, you know, nobody's a saint. She wrote one sentence that I think is the most honest sentence spoken in American politics this year. We have learned to excuse what we should condemn. And then enough is enough. So those two stories, who this guy says he is, what she says he is, hold these two stories in one hand. Okay, at the same time. Now let me play a clip of what Democratic voters are saying. Cut five. Well, I think, Candidly, the Democratic Party has come up short in a lot of ways in terms of like whitewashing our candidates and being so morally elitist and kind of entitled at times. We have to be willing to get dirty. His baggage is nowhere near their baggage. We're talking about people that are felons and people that take bribes. I really kind of think that we all have skeletons in our closet. And we've all made mistakes, especially when we're younger. And that was really a refrain we heard time and time again, it's kind of redemption arc. We can, you know, have faith and forgiveness. Stop. We can have faith and forgiveness. Let me ask. This guy has not asked for forgiveness. This guy has been denying all of these things. Okay. To give forgiveness, you have to have somebody who is looking for forgiveness. He's not. He's denying. Let me ask you this. How does the party that built its entire moral identity on three pillars, fairness, ending racism and believe all women, line up to nominate a man accused of frightening women, the women who loved him, a man who downplayed sexual assault, and a man wearing, you know, an SS image from the most racist regime in human history. And then he lied about knowing what it was. This is the hashtag me too party. This is the party that told us we should always listen to women when they come forward. This is the party that told us correctly. Symbols of hate are never just symbols. Okay. Yeah. But the Senate seat is online. Those same people are looking at a Nazi tattoo and credible accusations for women who loved him, worked for him, and were frightened by him. And the response is, well, I don't know too many saints. That's a problem. And that that is a human problem. This is not just a democratic problem. This is a human problem. It's going to come for all of us if we let it. And here's the lie at the very center of it. The lie is this. The ends justify the means. They don't. Well, yes, Glenn, we have to flip the Senate. We have to stop the other guy. We have to save democracy. And if you have to swallow a Nazi tattoo and look away from frightened women and offer a whistleblower hush money to do it, and that's just the cost of winning and it's the winning that matters. Well, I'm, I'm telling you, that's not how it works. That's never been how it works because the ends don't justify the means. The means become the man. The means make you into the very thing you set out to fight. Think about what you're actually doing. You pick up the cause of anti-racism and to keep their candidate, they're now rationalizing an SS symbol that the guy put on his body. They picked up a cause of believing women and to keep their candidate, they're now explaining away the women. Did you see how the New York Times treated these whistleblowers? They pick up the banner of fairness and transparency. Democracy dies in the darkness. They love to say that. But to keep their candidate, somebody reaches for an envelope with $15,000 in it to buy somebody's silence. I don't know. That's not defeating darkness. That's becoming a franchise of darkness. Here's the problem. When you set out to slay a dragon, if you, if you live your life one excuse at a time, nobody's a saint, you will wake up before very long and notice, oh my gosh, I have scales. You're the dragon. That's the warning that everyone should hear and know for voting for somebody like this. And it's bigger than his communism, which is enough, isn't it? Isn't it? It's bigger than his communism, bigger than the math on Medicare for all, a plan that would cost the entire state budget. I mean, bigger than any single policy. It's bigger than that. The real danger is not what he can do to the state or to the country. It's what he does to you, your own moral immune system. Because the first time you train yourself to excuse in your guy what you would scream about in the other guy, you haven't just made one exception. You've reset the floor. And I can hear people right now. I can hear them. You are such a hypocrite. Donald Trump, Donald Trump. I spoke out about all of the things about Donald Trump. I spoke out about all of them. I continue to speak out about the things that bother me about Donald Trump. I don't blindly accept them. I just don't buy the fact that you think he's such a horrible guy. I don't buy it. I know him personally. You don't, so I can excuse you. I know him personally. I know his children. I know the way he treats people. I know all of his coworkers. They don't walk away. They all, they work for him forever. They don't walk away and say, the guy is doing this at night. The guy's got a Nazi tattoo. You've told yourself your principles are all important. You've told us you got to live by these principles. You force people, but they were never principles at all. They were just weapons that you used when it was convenient. And you put those weapons down when it's not convenient. That's not a principle. That's a weapon. And people who can't tell the difference between a principle and a weapon is a people who will follow anyone, anywhere into anything. Let me ask you, if it's all, if it's, if he starts to say, you know what, we need to round people up. He's got the Nazi tattoo. He's got, we got to round people up. We got to stop listening to Israel or we have to stop listening to these MAGA people. We need reeducation camps. Will you follow him there? Because the ends justify the means? What is your line? If you don't know what your line is, I won't vote for a Nazi. I won't do it. I won't do it. I know that sounds crazy that I have to say that, but for half the country, apparently, you do have to say it. I won't vote for a Nazi. Won't do it. I wouldn't have voted for Robert Byrd. If you don't know who he was, old timey days in the 1990s, the Democrats voted for, he was a Grand Wizard or Grand Dragon or whatever the hell they are, in the Klan. I wouldn't have voted for him. This is the oldest trap in human history. Every moment, every, every movement in time that has turned into a monstrous, that has turned into a monstrous movement or moment started out certain that they were the good guys. The Bolsheviks were there to free the worker. The terror in France was going to perfect liberty. Everybody believed the cause was so righteous that the rules no longer applied to them. And the cause is exactly what gave them permission to become everything they claimed they hated. Show me a man who tells you the ends justify the means, and I will show you a man who is about to do something he would have called evil a year ago. I don't want to end with a villain here. I want to tell you a story of a hero, because there is a hero, and it's a Democrat. Geneve McDonald, a Democrat. She had every worldly reason to take the money and stay quiet. She could have taken the $15,000. She could have probably had a great, bright career with the Democratic Party. She could have held up her own side, her own career, her own team shot at power, and she looked at it and said, no, enough is enough. And she walked into the daylight and told the truth about her own people. That is a Democrat I love. That is a Democrat I celebrate. That's what moral courage looks like. That's the antidote, not tribe over truth, but truth, especially when it costs your tribe. So anyone in Maine, anyone anywhere who is about to step into the booth and you're telling yourself that the cause is worth holding your nose on a guy with a Nazi tattoo, remember her, remember that the ends never justify the means. The means are the only thing you actually get to keep. You own them in the end. Your means, that's your character. They become your party. They become your country. Choose them like your soul depends on it. Because I have news for you. It does. More in a minute. Recently, after Hezbollah drone attacks damaged tones in northern Israel, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews visited two of the residents who were caught in the attacks. One of them is an 86-year-old man named Leon. He's a holocaust survivor. The other is a woman named Yelena. Both of them were in their homes when the drones struck. Both of them saw their homes damaged. Both had every reason to live, but they're staying because it's their home. Yelena spoke about her neighbors who looked after her and brought her the essentials and brought her meals. Leon reflected on the strength that his father taught him to have during the holocaust. And through it all, the fellowship was there to provide the support and temporary housing and help them with the repairs. While the repairs were made, somebody was there. The people of Israel reminding them that even in the midst of fear and uncertainty, they're not alone. It's not going to happen again. There are people that will speak out and will stand with them. As we celebrate our 250-year anniversary, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship between Israel and the United States. Two democracies, built on faith, liberty, hope, both are the only two countries to ever make a covenant with Israel. Two countries to ever make a covenant with God. And they'd like to send you a flag pin, free USA Israel flag pin. You want to talk about brave people? Brave people wear one of those. Go online now, flagpinifcj.org, flagpinifcj.org.

You know, this is, it's a horrific case in case you don't know. You know, they're not letting the cameras inside the courtroom because it's just too much, but really, really. But things don't look good for him. And I want to explain what this story is really about next. Turning 65, bad enough. The constant stream of mailers and calls and ads that just never seem to end about Medicare. Horrible. Most of it just makes things more confusing and frankly, much of it is disinformation. This is not a small decision. This is your healthcare. You want to see the right doctors. You want to get the care you need and not pay for a plan that doesn't fit you. This is where chapter comes in. They look at your doctors, the prescriptions, your needs, and they'll help you find a plan that is right for you and your unique needs. And over the last year, they have helped people in this audience save real money just by finding better fitting plans. And sometimes it's not about the money. It's about talking to somebody who actually cares and is listening and planning things with you. There's a guy named Mark that called chapter. Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed.

I've got a story here that I don't know if you're paying much attention to. You should. We are repeating history over and over and over again. It's time to break the cycle. I want to talk to you a little bit about the killing of Austin Metcalf. He was 17 year old high school athlete and somebody comes in. Carmelo Anthony and the charges that in front of, I think 19 witnesses, he gets hostile, pulls out a knife and stabs Austin in the heart. I want to tell you this wasn't looking good for justice just a week ago. And now the testimony is coming out and it is looking really, really bad for Carmelo, the alleged killer. I want to tell you this story and what it means to our society. And what we need to learn from it finally and break this cycle. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, Patriot Mobile. Not every single decision you make matters. It doesn't matter which brand of mustard you buy, I guess, unless the money is going to the Communist Party. Probably doesn't matter what parking space you choose unless it's handicap and you're not handicap. But there are decisions that extend way beyond the moment that you make them. That's one of the reasons I appreciate Patriot Mobile. At the end of the day, they provide a service that we all need. We all need a phone. We need coverage. You need a network that actually works. But they also understand at Patriot Mobile that a business can stand for something. And Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They support causes that defend faith and family, the sanctity of life, constitutional rights that make this country worth defending. I know these guys. They love the Constitution and they fight for it in their own lives. And some of their profits, they take an apply to those kinds of things. They're a big supporter of Mercury One. On the American Journey experience, they are trying to help us build this museum. I mean, they're really great people. So you want to help them? Help you? Keep your phone. Keep your number.

All right. I pray that you listen to this story and really listen, not just hear it, listen. Because it is not just about one tragic day, you know, at a Texas track meet. It's about who we are as people and what we're allowing ourselves to become. I knew when I sobered up that I knew who I wanted to be. But all I was left with was who I allowed myself to become. And I became that man with a series of small compromises. And most people don't notice it until there's a problem in their life. And then even then, I dismissed it a lot because I was like, how come these things keep happening to me? Before I realized, wait a minute, maybe that's because life is trying to teach me something that I refuse to learn. The problem is not other people. The problem might be me. So, I want to talk to you about who we're allowing ourselves to become. Let me tell you the story. 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. He's a high school athlete. He's a kid with his whole life ahead of him. And he was at a field event in Frisco, Texas, just outside of Dallas last April. This kid comes in, wants to sit in this one area. It is a team tent. He was told, you can't sit here, blah, blah, blah. Words were exchanged. The kid, 19-years-old, his name is Carmelo Anthony. He was asked by multiple witnesses, 19, leave the tent. It belongs to the opposing team. He refuses. He swears at them. He taunts them. He reaches into his backpack, grabbing something, apparently, and repeatedly saying, you touch me and you just see what happens. At one point, he pulls a knife out. Okay? Austin, by all accounts, stays calm, not looking for a fight. When Anthony pulls out a semi-serrated folding knife, he just turns around and he just dives it, it drives it deep into Austin's chest. Pierce's bone punctures his heart, a gaping fatal wound. Yesterday, the jurors saw the autopsy foil of photos and some people gasped, put their hand over, one woman put her hand over her mouth. Oh my gosh. It's horrible, horrible. Anthony, the accused, just looked down. He didn't look at the photos. That's what happened. Young life, full of promise, cut down in a moment of rage. Another kid who had his whole life in front of him, full of promise, drives the knife into that kid. Now he's standing trial for murder. His claim is self-defense, but it's completely falling apart. Witnesses, including some called by his own attorney, have painted a very different picture. Anthony has the aggressor, the defiant one, the threatening one, the one who escalated everything. Even witnessed yesterday was a witness called by his own attorney. It was like, that's not what happened. He was the aggressor. Okay, so that's just the way things happen in court. Okay, and this is a story that men have been murdering men forever. Let me show you what happens to this story and what is old, but also new that needs to be changed. What happens when that story hits the wider world? Well, there are people that don't want you to see the truth. They want you to see not the dead boy and the knife and even the testimony. They just want you to see color. They want you to see a black defendant and a white victim. That's it. Now let me prove this out. I want to play two pieces of audio here that came out yesterday. The first one is not his mother, but a black mother. She says this about her standing at the courthouse watching this whole thing. Listen. If evidence does come out that Carmella was not in fact fighting for his life when he stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf, do you think that the black community will accept that? If evidence shows that he did not, no, we're going to stand by ours regardless. They stand by theirs. We're going to stand by ours regardless. I'm a mother first. I'm a black mother. Let me put that on there. I'm an African-American mother. So I have to put away my color first and step into the motherhood. Nobody wants to see their child slain. So I do want to send prayers to Austin Metcalf, their family. But at the end of the day, I got to think like, okay, what did you do to them or whatever to cause this to happen to reaction? We got to start taking accountability for our kids. Because then again, if my kid, that's what I had to catch him to. If my kid was Carmella and I felt like his back was against the wall, I'm going to say straight up, better mind than yours. Better mind than yours. So either way it go, everybody loses. A black boy allegedly, and I say allegedly, heavy on the allegedly, allegedly, urinated somebody. You see what I'm saying? So yeah, this is about race. I can't even make heads or tails of that. Okay. If it was proven he was not defending himself, but he was the aggressor. She says, yes, because of race, I will stand with them because they stand by theirs. That's the worst thing you can do. My mother would have said, if everybody's jumping off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge? No, it's wrong. You don't do that. Then she brings in motherhood. Now this is what a mom should do to some degree in this way. A mom or a dad. I've told my kids, I don't care what you do in your life. I don't care. I will always love you. What that means at the extreme example, the extremes is my daughter goes out and does what Anthony Carmelo is alleged to have done. That means I sit at the table with her. I go to the prison with her. I don't defend her, but I love her and I'm with her. But you cannot expect society to change if you don't hold, you know, she says, we got to stand by our kids. No, no, we stay by our kids side. Just as God stays by our side when we screw up, he loves us. He's with us, but he requires a penalty. Okay, and if you don't get it here on earth, you're going to get it with him. So we look to our heavenly father and say, how would he deal with it? Well, he would not abandon us. He would not disown us. He would love us. He would counsel us. He would see to the punishment, but he would do it with love and he would always be there. That's our responsibility as a parent. Now, let me show you a minister and what he said. Listen to this cut seven. I come out here every Thursday and we pray for people going to court because this, we know this is the final frontier of racism and it's legalized here. It was announced yesterday that there's no black jurors that were chosen. What are your thoughts on that? That's why we need God. That's why we need God and that's why he's going to show who's in control. And would you be open to giving us your personal insights into the Carmelo Anthony trial and what your thoughts are on it? I just want justice done. You know, we know... Okay, stop. Nope. Okay, stop. So he just wants to, but this is the, this is where this is all about race. He starts it there. It's all about race. Now, I believe he's got a good heart. I just think he is misguided. If I understand him correctly, he's misguided here because people want you to believe that this is just an endless American morality play of systemic racism over and over again. They want you to ignore that Anthony was asked to leave 15 times, that he put his hand into the bag and dared them. He said, I'm not leaving F you all. They want outrage. They don't want evidence. Division, not truth. I, I, we have to love him, Carmelo. We have to. We as people, and you know, we, it's easy for us to be hard for the family, but we as people have to fight for the family. We forgive him, but there must be justice. And look at how the press just plays along. No blacks on the jury. As if, as if justice requires a racial quota. Here's what they left out. There are minorities on that jury. It's not all white people. There's just not black minorities. Okay. And the one perspective juror who was black, who got herself disqualified. How was it because she was, because the, the prosecution was racist? No. Can you be fair? Can you be blind as a juror? And she said, I don't think I could put another brother in jail if he's guilty. Well, then you can't be, you can't be on the jury. She removed herself because she couldn't promise fairness. That's not the system. Failing. That is a human being in a moment of honesty admitting she couldn't live up to the blindfold. And so the system worked. And a jury of your peers doesn't mean people who look like you. It never has. It does mean this. Citizens who can set aside their bias, racial, political, cultural, and weigh the evidence with integrity. This has been hard for whites to judge blacks and blacks to judge whites. But that's what it requires if you're on a jury. Now, perhaps we think that the juror needs to look like us because we don't think the people of other color hold the same values. And that is terrifying if that is true. And these, these voices here that I just played for you make me think that is true. But that can't be fixed by putting more whites or blacks or, you know, anybody based on race in the jury box. That's only fixed when we all understand and hold the same self-evident truths. We need jurors in every case who can see the defendant as a man and not a symbol. We are judging the individual, not the symbols, not culture, good, bad, guilty, or innocent. That is the American promise. And it is imperfectly kept. It's been betrayed. But the North Star, we have always tried to steer toward and this is not steering toward. Do you remember O.J. Simpson? O.J. Simpson walked free. Not because the jury believed he was innocent. They said that at the time. But later in interviews, years later, they've all admitted it. They wanted to send a message to the man to stick it to the system. They played politics with a murder trial. Years later, some of them express regrets because the blood on those gloves told its story and they knew it. But they wanted to make a political point at the time and so they let a killer go free. We always get in trouble when we turn a courtroom into a billboard for our grievances instead of a sanctuary for truth. I want fair trials. I want, if the evidence shows that this is not the story that I just told you, then he should go free. But not because of something political or racial. Moral boundaries of our society are cracking and they're cracking because we are prioritizing the narrative over reality. It's amazing. They're trying to destroy our story of who we actually are and replace it with a story of who we should never ever become. When we teach young people that justice is about racial score settling rather than right and wrong. When we allow race hustlers to poison the well, white or black, before a piece of evidence is even heard, that's not progress. That's regression. That goes back to tribal blood feuds and it's all dressed up in modern university language. And it spits on the grave of every American, black, white, anyone who bled for a system where the arc bends towards justice, not vengeance. The American justice system is supposed to be blind. Not colorblind in some naive slogan sense, but truly blind to politics, to pressure, to wealth or social status, or the mob or headlines. And we've never achieved it. We've never fully achieved it. It's like a tide. That's why our founder said a more perfect nation. We are gathered to build a more perfect nation. It's a tide. It rolls in and then it goes out. And right now the tide is so far out, I can't even see the water anymore. The rhetoric is so loud now. The temptation, send a strong message is so strong. I'm not sending a strong message. This message that needs to be said is this kind of crime, any kind of crime will not be tolerated. That's the only message. You get justice for the family of the person that was hurt or abused or killed. You then try to teach this personal lesson that that is outside of polite society. You have no place doing this in society. So cool off, think about it and try to reform yourself. And then the third is a message to those who want to commit these crimes. Don't do it or you'll get the same. The activists are there and they are desperate for another narrative to fuel the fire. But it is our job, yours and mine, to push back, to see past the race-baiters and the selective outrage and demand that juries and judges and citizens look for the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Guilt or innocent based on evidence, not identity. That's not just the legal way. That's the American way, the way all men are created equal. The way of a republic that dares to say character and content matter more than the color of your skin. Austin didn't deserve to die in a seat in a tent. And Carmelo deserves a fair trial, truly fair, without the circus. And you and America deserve better than to let another generation be taught that justice is whatever serves the narrative. Stand firm, demand the truth, reject the easy tribalism. Because if we lose the blindfold, we lose everything worth preserving. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about Mercury One. Mercury One is a great organization. If history ever called our number, we'd answer. If there are people in need, we're there to help them. If there is a crisis, we step up. If there's something important to be done, we find the courage to do it. The truth is that you often don't get those kinds of moments. You usually don't find yourself standing in the middle of a disaster zone. We don't get the chance to personally deliver relief supplies or build a community that's lost everything. But what we do is get the opportunity to make sure that somebody does. And that's the reason I'm so proud of Mercury One. We are not only there. If we can't be there, we support the people who are there. And I've watched this organization where the need was the greatest, whether it was during a natural disaster or a humanitarian crisis or a community that just been forgotten by everybody else in the aftermath of chaos. They're there every time. We're the last one there. We're the first one there. It's mercuryone.org. Give $15 a more and join our rescue team. Will you? It's our maximum impact fund.

And we look at our country and we think we all kind of feel the same. At least we used to. I find it harder and harder every day to think that my friends who don't vote the way I do, that they're Democrats, that they feel the same love of country. And this is not going to help that. 55% of Democrats, so that's more than half now, told pollsters that there is another country on Earth that they would rather live in than the United States. So more than half are willing to say, I'd live in England. I'd rather live in England than here. 74% say America has failed to live up to its own founding ideals. That one I can kind of understand because I could say that too. Yeah, we have work to do. I'm not sure that's what they're saying. They are saying that it's failed. Yes, it has and there's a lot of work to do, but there's a way to fix it. Now, the reaction that is rolling in obviously comes from my side of the aisle. And it's like, don't let the door hit you in the ass. We'll buy the ticket six months rent one way. Just renounce your citizenship on the way out. And I really understand that and I kind of, I mean, I do feel the same way. I do feel the same way, but it's not the right impulse. If somebody is telling you, because we've had our kids, I hate it here, there's too many rules or there's blah, blah, blah, and you're a dictator, whatever they say to you. And you're so tempted to say, then get the hell out. Get the hell out. You're going to see how easy life is when you're out on your own. Okay. But that is not the answer. It's not right with our kids and it's not right here. America, her answer is not a plane ticket, but it is a check. Hear me out on this. It is a check. Let me take you back to August 28th, 1963. Guy stands up, steps to Lincoln Memorial, quarter of a million people there, and understand the country he's standing in in 1963. Black Americans are being beaten for trying to vote. Children have fire hoses turned on to them. Men are being lynched and the murderers are walking free. If anyone on this continent ever had a right to stand up in front of it and say, this country is a fraud, these documents are a lie, I'd literally rather be anywhere else. It was Martin Luther King. Okay. And the people who lived at that time, and people were telling him, Black Panthers, that's what they were telling him to say. He said, no, that's not the answer. Listen. There were voices in his own movement saying the whole American project is rotten to the root, and it always has been. The Constitution was a slave holder's agreement and parchment. That is the only honest response to fix it is to burn it down. Well, King didn't do that. He did the opposite. He did the American thing. He reached for the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and he held them up over his head and he called them a promissory note. It's what I try to do every day and I want you to do. This is the solution to our problems. He said the men who built this republic signed a promise, even if they didn't live up to it, every one of them. And every single American, every single one would be guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And then he said something extraordinary. He said America had handed the black man a bad check, a check that was marked insufficient funds that came back. Now stop and feel what he could have done there. He could have torn the note up. He could have said that promise is worthless, but he didn't. He said he refused to believe that the Bank of Justice was bankrupt. He didn't come to Washington to renounce the founding. He came to cash the check. He said the promise wasn't a lie. It just has never been fulfilled. He said the promise was good and the payment was overdue. That was the entire ballgame. That's why Martin Luther King changed the world. And that is the difference between 1963 and 2026. Because King held America to its documents. You cannot, you can speak to my side with the documents. I don't think you can speak to the other side with the documents, but you can speak to my side with the documents because we still believe in them. The loudest critics today say the documents are the problem. And that is, that's why they don't embrace Martin Luther King anymore. They're polar opposites. King said the promise is real, so pay it. Today, they say the promise is fraudulent. So what's the point of staying or living within the system? Do you see the trap in the second one? If the documents are the disease, then there is no cure to be found inside the house. There's no way out except the exit door or the match. You've, you've defined your own country as a thing that cannot be fixed, only run away from or burned. But if the documents are the promise, then you don't leave, you collect. And here's the part I would love for the 55% to actually sit with. Because I still need to believe that they're not bad people. That they, they can find the appreciation for this country. I don't think their unhappiness is fake. I think some of it is, is self-fulfilling prophecy because they have so twisted what it all means. But, you know, there is real injustice in the world. There is real racism in America. And we should never be too proud to admit it. Never too afraid to say, yeah, there's bad things that our country has done and is doing. And there are bad people. Some of what they feel is something older and quieter, I think. Alec de Tocqueville, he saw all of this coming, coming towards us way back in 1840. He looked at America and he said there's soft despotism. Not a jackbook, not a dictator, something gentler. I'm wildly paraphrasing here, but he said it's a mild master that takes you into its hands and covers the whole society with a web of small, complicated, endless little rules that it doesn't, it's not tyranny per se, it's management. It hinders you, it wears you down until a free people just quietly become, in his word, a flock of timid and industrious animals and the government is the shepherd. And if you know history, you know this system has a name and it is not American constitutionalism. In fact, if you understand history, the history that the powerful on both sides of our political isle, Republicans and Democrat, I hope you never hear, and they hope you never realize they're actually on the same team. But one side of the isle is just incompetent and the other side is using that machinery to convince you that the tools to free yourself are lies. Again, learn history. As all four told, we've gone through this over and over and over again, and we were all warned about it long ago to Tocqueville. He said this kind of servitude could grow up in the very shadow of the people's own sovereignty. He was implying, you'll vote for it, you'll ask for it, you'll trade your liberty for a little security and a little RGS taken from your neighbor and you'll call it progress. And you'll never notice the leash that is going on and snapping on around your neck. That's a country that people could be miserable in. That's a country that people might want to flee. The cruel joke is that nearly every country on the menu you'd flee to has a lot more of that, not less. You don't escape soft despotism by emigrating toward it. So what's the antidote? It's the document that nobody is talking about. 237 years ago, James Madison stood up in the first Congress and introduced the Bill of Rights. Madison built it for one specific job to protect the one against the many. To stop a majority at any level of government from voting itself ownership over you, your property, your speech, and your life, the Constitution, and then later the Bill of Rights. He watched majorities in the states crush religious dissenters. He said, never again. We're going to bind every government in the country to protect the individual. And that is the tool that Frederick Douglass picked up. That's the tool that King picked up. When the majority had failed him, he didn't appeal to a foreign flag. He appealed to the promise the majority had signed and broken, and he demanded America honor it. So here's the way out. And it's a real one, not a gloating one. To the more than half of the American people who sadly say they would rather be somewhere else. I'm not going to buy you a ticket. I think that's beneath the country, and I think it shows that don't take you seriously. But I do. Instead, I would like to hand you a piece of paper, the same piece of paper that King held up on those steps. If you think America broke its promise to you, I agree. I don't know if I agree on the same things, but you might be right on your thing. On any given day about some specific thing, you'd be maybe dead right. So what do the greatest Americans do? What did Martin Luther King do in the last century with that exact grievance? He didn't leave, he didn't burn it. He walked up to the bank of justice with the founder's own signature in his hand, and he said, I'm here to collect. The declaration is your check. It is the note, the constitution. Is that check? The Bill of Rights? Is your enforcement clause? They are not the thing standing between you and a country worth loving. They are the only road to that country worth loving. They were the road for King. They're the road for you. They're the road for me. Don't get on the plane. Stay in cash the check. It's made out in my name. But it's also made out in your name. And it always has been. More in a minute. Two types of people in the world. Those who walk into a bedroom, put their head down on a pillow and be asleep 30 seconds later, and I hate those people. There are those apparently that require, you know, 37 step preparation, rituals. I'm more in that one. The thing that's always frustrating about a good night's sleep is how effortless sleep looks for other people when you don't have it yourself. And when, you know, when you do have it, you never think about it. And when you don't, it's the only thing you can think about. That's why I'm a big fan of Z-Factor.

The only thing he didn't say is pew pew pew pew pew. He didn't like the pew pew. What's the guy's name that's running for the Senate in Texas? Pew pew pew. Tellerico. That's what he needs in his ass. I would never reduce Jefferson to Tellerico though. I can't hear you, Ricky. James Tellerico. James Tellerico. I can't hear you. But anyway, the audience did. James Tellerico. Exactly right. Pew pew pew pew. He should do an ad. He needs to do an ad. Pew pew pew pew. Anyway, there's a couple of messages here. Freedom Lover from Alabama says, as Rush Limbaugh once said, the most discriminated group of people in the United States is the individual. 100% right. Nanny Chat in Idaho. I still don't know. Nanny Chat in Idaho. I still want to see a reality show where one group lives by communism minus the executions, and one group lives how the Constitution was originally written. Don't we have that? I mean, it's called Texas and California. Um, Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. Glenn, whenever to Tocqueville, is mentioned, I'm out. Too nerdy. And you know what? Small town arms, I... When I read that, I thought, I think that's a quote from Sam Adams. I think that's what he said. I think at one point he was like, this is getting way too nerdy for me, guys. I am out. You're talking about this constitutional stuff. I'm out. But I understand the sentiment. I understand the sentiment. I used to be there. Listen, this might be really nerdy, but if you're raising kids or you have grandkids and you're going to be spending time with them this summer, but... No, it's just wrong of me to say that.
