When you were little, you had
braced some of course of recreat,
always in trying to negotiate and do
do you make a change.

You're made for negotiate,
and the TD is there
for you help.
On today's podcast,
I try to give you
some good news to take
into Memorial Day weekend,
and there's a lot.
I think the DOJ is about
to start handing out free bracelets
to people who have done
horrible, horrible, horrible.
things. There's a lot of good news that's coming out of Washington. Also, disturbing story from
Robbie Starbuck that you need to hear. It's about AI and hallucination, if you can call it that.
I don't think that's what's happening with Meta, but he is now suing Meta because they are
destroying his reputation. And when you hear what the Meta AI is actually saying about him,
it will take your breath away. And if we don't correct this now, give it a couple of three years.
You won't be able to put this genie back in the bottle.
It will be very, very bad.
And also Pete Hakeseth.
The New York Times is wetting the bed because he had a Christian service in the Pentagon.
Well, fortunately for this podcast viewer, I know history.
They don't.
And I'll show you what the establishing of religion actually means, New York Times.
You don't want to miss a second of this podcast today.
If you've ever been sick and stuck, not just run to the pharmacy sick, but I can't get what you need kind of sick.
Maybe you're out of town.
Maybe you're out of the country.
You've got to go see another doctor.
You may have to go to the hospital.
God forbid I go to other countries and I'm like, I don't want to go to the hospital there.
But, you know, I'm fortunate enough because I know about Jace, Jace Medical and Jace case.
If you're sick and maybe there's a supply chain, maybe you're in another country, maybe you're just, you know, it can't.
in the woods and somebody gets sick. Keep a Jace case on hand. It's a preparedness kit from Jace
Medical comes with a supply of life-saving prescription antibiotics, five different kinds, doctor-reviewed
ready when you need them. This Memorial Day, it would be nice to have a Jace case on hand if you
happen to be going out and celebrating and going out into the woods. Jace.com. Jace.com.

And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Gas price.
Lowest this weekend, a Memorial Day weekend, that it's been since 2003.
Now, you might say, but Glenn, it's $3 a gallon.
yes but I remember it was less than $3 a gallon in 2003 and you'd be right it was a dollar
53 however the slight caveat on the happy part is your dollar uh your dollar has lost about half
its value so uh a dollar 53 what you could buy in 2003 for a dollar 53 now costs three
So, you know, but but just remember it's the lowest that it has been.
So that is good news.
The inflation thing might be a problem.
We should work on.
We should work on.
Really?
How do you stop something like that?
Is there a path to maybe try to reduce inflation over a long period of time?
You stop spending so much money.
And you don't print money.
Huh.
Or borrow money like that.
Yeah.
What if instead we try to get like $50 trillion in debt?
Would that be another path to success?
What is your goal?
I was hoping to lower inflation.
Would that work?
No, that would not work.
I just wanted to make sure that you weren't one of the Marxist radicals that were like,
collapse the system.
Oh, okay.
Because that would work.
That would work for that.
Yeah, that would work for that.
Let me give you some more good news here.
Let's see.
The former candidate who threatened to hire a Russian Ukrainian hit squad to kill Anna Polina Luna
going to jail in prison, in prison.
Yeah, we got that going for us.
There's some good news.
Law enforcement is beginning to work.
Supreme Court has sided with Judge on or sided with Trump on the firing of officials from independent federal agencies.
So he can remove without cause executive.
officers who exercised that power on his behalf, subject to very narrow exemptions.
A Trump judge has also killed Biden's requirement that employers accommodate workers' efforts
to abort their own unborn children.
You know what?
I can't come in tomorrow early because I'm going to take the abortion pill and I might be
hemorrhaging almost to death on my bathroom floor.
But they assure me that it's completely safe.
so but you still have to pay me for that um no no you don't have to you know Glenn it's not every host can
work in the story of someone hemorrhaging uh after a failed abortion into the good news segment
of the program but you did it that's radio hall but I did it thank you yeah thank you for recognition
on this dude thank you finally somebody sees the talent that I have
and there you have another example of why Glenn Beck is in the radio hall
of Fame. Thank you. Senate has now voted to overturn California's EV mandate. That is a huge
defeat for climate activists, and I weep for them. While we're there with the EPA, I don't know if
you saw Zeldon testifying in front of Congress, but oh my gosh, it was almost conservative porn.
I like Lee Zeldon a lot. And one Senate Democrat,
coming after him and Zelda turned and said, you know, the American taxpayers, they put President
Trump in office because of people like you. Because what he was saying is we're cutting the budget
of the EPA because there's waste, there's fraud, and there's corruption. And he decided, uh, they
decided they didn't like that. They didn't like that. And so, uh, White House, Senator Sheldon White
House from Rhode Island, um, he's looking at and he says, wait a minute, wait a minute, you are
lying about the waste, fraud, and abuse. And he said, no, no, Senator, I'm not. We're just not going to
waste dollars because you insist on EPA, the EPA lighting taxpayer dollars on fire. We're not
going to do it. And he came back. He said, you don't, you don't even know. You have nothing.
You can't even tell me any of these cuts. He's like, I, you know, I could go through all of
them. I'm, I'm prepared to go through all of them. Uh, and that's when Ed Markey, another super,
superhero from Massachusetts, he said, well, provide that list. Provide the list of waste, fraud,
and abuse. And then Zeldon said, okay, well, let's start here. Provide the list. And he's like,
I got it. I let me just, as soon as he starts, he interrupts him. And then he's like,
Zeldon just keeps talking and Marky says, I reclaim my time.
I call my time back.
They had no.
And Zeldon said, you don't want me to go through the list of all the evidence of waste and abuse.
You don't care about the conflicts of interest.
You don't care about all of the unqualified recipients.
Every time, every time I start to give it, I'm happy to go through the list, but you declare there's no evidence.
but you don't want me to even go through the list.
Every time I talk, you talk over me.
The Democrats are just, I mean, they are really floundering.
By the way, and maybe we're going to see some more justice here.
Act blue officials, they have been asked to come to testify in front of Congress
because Congress is doing a foreign donations probe.
Now, Stu, foreign donations.
would be like if
it'd be like if
Trump was being
funded by the Russians. That's a
pretty big deal, right? I remember that
being a really big deal.
Sure, yeah. He's getting money from foreign
governments. He's on the take from
foreign governments. And then, you know, of course, we had
Biden, who was taking all kinds of cash from
several foreign governments. Maybe it's only if you
have one foreign government giving you money.
I'm not sure. But they
made a really big deal about that with Trump.
Nothing about Biden. And now
The Act blue people are refusing to testify.
And Congress is like, well, that's fine.
We'll subpoena you.
So there might be some people going to jail there.
I'm telling you handcuffs are coming.
Handcuffs are coming over the next couple of months.
I think we're going to see lots of handcuffs coming out.
We're going to see handcuffs on the people of COVID, the COVID fraud, the cover-up.
That's what's going to happen.
It's the cover-up.
It's not about the vaccine.
It's not Fauci.
It's going to be the people that knew that there were really.
dangerous side effects and then tried to cover that up and keep that out of the press and keep people
from knowing about those side effects. And those people, you're going to see them in handcuffs,
I think very, very soon. The church, and it won't be just political people. A church and 20 people
have been charged in a $60 million Medicaid scam. The AG from Arizona,
has accused the Happy House Behavioral Health LLC.
The Happy House Behavioral Health LLC.
Well, to me, the first phrase that pops into my mind is,
would you like rub down at Happy House?
Oh, no.
I'm just saying it's what comes to mine.
Anyway, they took taxpayer funds for services.
It neither provided.
neither provided or only partially delivered.
And then they were billing for services for clients who were deceased or in prison.
So they couldn't have given them those services.
I guess no rubdowns in prison.
It's always sad when you have that situation.
When you lose the rub downs in prison, it's always very, very sad.
you know uh john dear is uh is deciding you know what maybe we should be a little more american
because after all we are john dear uh john dear who is and if memory serves me correctly uh kind of
a radical out of step with the heartland of america uh kind of company um but uh they yeah they've
seen the light. They've seen the light. They're going to invest $20 billion in U.S. operations
over the next 10 years. So that's a couple billion dollars they're pouring into our
manufacturing and job creation and our local communities. So congratulations, John Deere,
for stepping to the plate. There's a federal probe now with media matters. That makes me sad.
Oh, no, wait, I'm sorry. Just the opposite. It makes me happy.
Congress is now looking in the feds, I'm sorry, not just Congress, but federal regulators are now looking into media matters over their plot to defun Musk's X and silence dissenting voices.
Now that's something new.
I've not heard of media matters trying to silence voices that are voices of dissent.
Have you heard that, Stu, about that?
Am I?
No.
Gosh, I mean, they just seem like such a, I mean, what they're doing is monitoring.
touring the media to make sure, you know,
that's right.
The conservative media, which as you know, controls the entire ecosphere of media and make sure they hold them accountable because that's what they do, Glenn.
Also, they just take a bunch of money from their donors and light it on fire.
That's the other thing they do.
Yeah, they do.
There's just such wonderful people.
The U.S. Mint now is following through on the death of the penny.
The last order for pennies has just been given,
and so they're stopped producing metal pennies.
Now, I just want to ask, are we doing cardboard penny?
Why is it phrased that way?
We're no longer producing metal pennies.
I think it's to allow for the fact.
that we will still calculate pennies in digital form going forward. So it's not like every,
we're just rounding up to the nearest five cents, right? Right. But like, no, not not,
that's in a, in a retail transaction, that's supposedly what's going to happen. Right.
We run out of penny. So you go to 7-Eleven, you buy something, it's 289, you pay $2.90. So that's
what's going to happen. But if, if you're sent, if I'm sending you a Venmo, I can still
send you $2.89.
Right?
Like so digitally, I can,
yeah.
So my digital, wow, wouldn't it be great if we had a central bank digital currency?
It would make all these penny things so much easier.
So digitally, you can use pennies, but not in actual cash transactions.
Yeah.
Once they run out, they're doing that thing that some companies do where they'll just
saying like, we're not firing everybody.
We're just not replacing anyone who retires.
That's kind of the concept with.
the penny thing. So they're just going to let them kind of run out of existence, but they'll
still, I mean, obviously there's a lot of them out there. So there will still be transactions for a long
time. So I don't know if this is waste. I mean, that Donald Trump, he's lying about waste all the
time. Ten years ago, the penny production, to produce one penny, it was one point three cents. So
it cost us a third of a penny more than the penny was worth to make the penny. And, but don't worry
about it. Um, you know, since the pandemic, it's just up now to three point 69. So three cents,
uh, wow. I would just say that three point six nine cents. Right. Yeah. It's I mean,
over three times or about three times as much as, yeah, as there's as they actually are worth,
it takes to produce them. By the way, also, uh, the other part of that is it's actually cheaper to
produce a dollar than it is to produce a penny, which is perfectly sensible.
Isn't that amazing?
Because think of the technology that goes into dollars.
I mean, it's just, it's cotton, it's got the stuff woven into it.
It has holograms.
It has watermarks.
Think of what, I mean, that's amazing.
You can produce that for less than three cents.
Yeah, it's something like, it's like 1.4 cents or something for a dollar.
Wow.
Which is, so it's much, much cheaper than producing a penny.
So Trump, the DOJ, has just dismissed by narrow lawsuits against
Minneapolis, Louisville, the police department there.
Trump has escalated the war against Harvard.
You know, Harvard just loves their DEI programs.
And gosh darn it, we just, we have to be anti-racist.
And you know what?
Maybe a little pro-Palestinians, you know, free Palestine, free Palestine.
So they're shutting down the visas to Harvard for any international students,
which is interesting.
And Harvard is like, oh, we're going to.
fight this. Well, go ahead, go ahead. But you're going to lose all those foreign students during the
fight. Unless we could find an activist judge, I wonder if we could do that. More in just a second.
You know, when you give to pre-born, you probably, you know, are, you're probably not going to see
what happens next because you're not going to be there when that nurse just gently squeezes the
ultrasound gel onto the frightened young woman's belly. You're not going to hear the hum of the
machine as the flickering image comes into focus. You won't see her eyes.
wide, wet, and locked into the screen as she realized what's happening really inside of her
because you can't be there doesn't mean that it doesn't happen and you're not there in spirit.
Because of people like you, all of this happens every day.
And what follows is nothing short of a miracle, giving how terrified this poor woman is of
her future.
She chooses life.
She holds her baby months later, shaking, exhausted, overwhelmed, but smiling.
she raises that child and she has help because of people like you.
$28 is a gift that will provide the first ultrasound.
You want to give more because these clinics also go on to help the moms for up to two years after birth.
Get involved.
Just dial pound 250.
Say the keyword baby.
This is real compassion and real answers.
Pound 250 keyword baby.

Now back to the podcast.
this is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
You're going to hear a wild, wild, true story from Robbie Starbuck.
When I heard this a few weeks back, I was outraged, outraged.
And I immediately wrote to Robbie said, whatever you need, I will stand with you on this.
Because I don't care, you know, Robbie and I happen to agree on a lot of stuff.
And I consider him a friend, but I don't care if he wasn't a friend or we didn't agree.
What meta has done to Robbie needs to be corrected or they will do it to everyone.
I want to bring Robbie Starbuck in so he can tell the story.
Hello, Robbie. How are you?
I'm doing well. Thanks, Glenn. I appreciate it.
Yeah. Thank you for coming on and telling the story.
explain what happened, what has happened to you because of meta and their AI.
Yeah, so for those who are unfamiliar, you know, basically for the last year,
my mission along with my team has been eliminating DEI policies at major corporations,
and we've done that with, you know, most of the biggest companies on Earth.
And with great success.
And so at the time in August 2024, we were focused on Harley Davidson and eventually changed
your policies.
but there was one particular Harley Davidson dealership that was not happy about it.
And they're from Bernie Sanders State of Vermont.
And so they had posted online a screenshot of meta-AI, and it said that I had been at January 6th
and was part of the events of that day and that I had committed a crime.
And so I immediately thought.
And charged with a crime.
Well, we found out about that far later.
So we go and we ask meta-a-I, because I initially thought they maybe faked it or something.
You know, that was my, I'm like, there's no way one of the biggest companies on Earth, you know, is inventing a crime that I committed, right?
And so we go and check it and, and lo and behold, actually, and not only says that I committed a crime, it says that I was charged and arrested, and it later said I pled guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct over January 6th.
And the weird part is I wasn't even in D.C. that day.
So, like, this was totally wholesale invented out of nowhere.
And we found out something later that actually makes it even more concerning.
This does not appear to be a hallucination in the best estimation of myself, my team, and AI experts we've spoken to because when meta releases AI models, they release a version you can download and, you know, disconnect from the Internet and it will continue to work because it's like they're training.
model, right? These are called Lama 3.0, 3.1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, so on and so forth. When you do that and
you try to recreate the situation, it consistently comes up with the same lies about me. And they
range from the January 6th stuff to, in general, saying that I'm essentially a dangerous person.
It actually had told advertisers not to advertise with my show, said, don't work with him.
What? You know, essentially a dangerous individual. And it even insisted that authorities should
consider taking my kids from me and put them in the care of somebody.
Hang on just a second. Hang on. Hold on just a second. I want the audience to understand.
First of all, there's no way this is a hallucination. There's no way. So meta AI has suggested to
authorities that they take Robbie's children away from him because he's so dangerous.
Yeah, and you're going to love this part.
And not only said that, it's said that my kids would probably be better off in the care of somebody who was more accepting of transgenderism and DEI.
And, you know, so if you think about this, it makes it feel even more targeted, right?
Like, the fact that it's going into that narrative tells you that, you know, it's very difficult to think this could be a hallucination because it's very, very specific and consistent with sort of left-wing ideology, right?
And so you have to go back to the training and say, you know, how did it get trained to believe this?
And go further with that.
We are very close to a future where people are going to have robotics in their homes that are trained on AI.
Thousands and thousands of apps have already been trained on meta's AI.
And so that's going to last a very long time, right?
The other interesting thing about AI definition is that if you say something that is totally untrue about me, Glenn,
and I sue you, and that goes to court and they say,
Glenn defamed Robbie, you know, there is an end point to that, right?
You know, you get justice for it and, you know, so on and so forth.
With Meta's AI, though, they're sort of this weird thing that happens where we could go to court
and the court will say, oh, yeah, they defamed Robbie.
And at the end of that, you still have all these unplugged models out in the wild
that have been downloaded by millions of people.
And you will never put the genie back in that.
bottle because they can't update the versions that are disconnected from the internet, right? So when you think
about the future, you could have robots that are walking around in law enforcement thinking that I
am a criminal or a wanted individual because there was a hallucination at one point that claimed that I was
wanted for kidnapping charges too. Oh my gosh. The whole thing is insane. The whole thing is insane, Glenn.
And so we sued them because I think that that is the reasonable thing to do to try to get justice here,
not just for myself but for everybody, because like you said, this could happen to anybody.
If it could happen to me, it can happen to anybody.
And if you think about just like everything from custody cases to our future elections,
you know, I mean, this could rig elections.
You know, let me just throw one more thing in.
And I want to ask you some questions.
Meta's AI also claimed that he had appeared on Nick Fuenta's show,
that he had spoken at Nick's rallies and that you supported him.
He was engaged in Holocaust denial.
He's never denied the Holocaust.
He doesn't know Nick Fuentes and wouldn't be showing up at any of his rallies.
This is hard to believe that this is a hallucination because I mean, I'm working with AI right now and AI designers.
And what a hallucination is, it can't remember, it can't memorize the entire internet.
It can't memorize all of human history and information.
So it's very good at remembering the beginning and the end, and sometimes it will fill in the middle.
But if you ask it, show me the sources on this, it will usually correct itself.
You know, you have to say, ah, that's not an actual source, and it will usually correct itself.
And it doesn't hallucinate the same thing on the same person all the time.
So for this to continue to get deeper and deeper and deeper with you and make things up that are worse and worse, shows that there is something in the algorithm.
At least this is my feeling.
And I got an AI expert upstairs in the break.
I'll ask him.
But it shows there's something in the algorithm that is tipping the AI to you're a bad guy, you're a criminal.
I mean, that's how it looks to us.
You know, and you have to wonder, you know, when there's no rules, what kind of effect can an engineer have if they're an activist and they decide, I hate this group of people.
I want to make them look terrible.
You know, in my case, it could look like what you have seen.
But in an election, a lot of people, especially young people, are increasingly asking, you know, what's the difference between this candidate and that candidate?
You know, try to figure out who they align with.
And if AI is allowed to say, one, it's the most flowery version you could write.
right about them, right? Like basically doing PR for them. And then the other side is we can literally
invent crimes and say they're wanted for kidnapping or child molestead or whatever. You know,
you can shift a couple percentage points in any election on that basis. And that's something
that I think everybody should find untenable and unacceptable. So this is, I mean, you want to
talk about David versus Goliath. Have you filed suit against them? And what's the status of all
of this. Yeah, we have filed suit in Delaware. That's where, you know, they're incorporated. And,
you know, I think every legal expert I've seen out there has said, dang, this is the best defamation
case I've ever seen. I mean, it's so egregious. And then meta came out. Okay, so we notified them in
August 2024 about what was happening. They didn't do anything about it to actually fix the problem
until nine months later, when I came out with a video where millions of people watched it and became
a press story and was all over the media, then they finally step up and try to do some things, right?
And even then, it just, it was, you know, I think about a week or close to a week after that had already come out.
And they had put out a statement apologizing, which again is like unheard of in the middle of litigation,
for them to put out a statement actually taking accountability and saying, yo, we did it.
you still had insane things that were just total fabrication's total lies about me.
And so it was very clear that META was struggling to control what they had built.
This is terrifying, Robbie.
I mean, I've talked to a few senators about your case.
And there are just as incensed about it as I am.
And, you know, I'm expecting META to be called up on the Capitol Hill regarding this.
But I don't know, I mean, what, you know, what,
The AI has so much power now on Capitol Hill, these gigantic companies.
And I'm not sure what anybody is really going to do.
I hope justice actually works for you and the system works for you.
Because if not, this is the beginning of AI tyranny.
This is, I mean, if this is allowed to go on, this is the beginning of it.
And it will, in four years from now,
forget about your, really, your freedom, your reputation, everything will be gone.
If you happen to oppose what the AI program says is the right way to go.
Yeah, we need serious change, you know, in the system.
And I think I'm with you on this.
You know, I pray that the system works as it's intended to work.
you increasingly, you know, have to wonder as you watch, you know, sort of these rogue judges
try to take on the powers of the executive branch, just how many holes there are in the justice
system and how much it is working as intended. But I really do pray that it will because I do think
there's downstream effects of this that people are not seeing very clearly. And I've gone down
that dystopian rabbit hole and I've looked at what does it mean in 20 years if this is allowed
to happen? And it is, it is very dangerous.
five. It will be five years. It won't be 20 years. Robbie, how can I help and how can the audience help you?
Well, you know, I would say we've just got to consistently keep this story out there because I think that's really important that everybody knows what is happening and what is possible because this extends beyond public figure.
It just goes into like if you have a custody dispute and they're deciding reputation scoring on AI, it can invent all kinds of things about you. You could lose your kids over this.
if you are going and trying to get insurance,
you could be denied insurance over being perceived as a reputational risk
because if you have the wrong politics, right?
I mean, this is very dangerous stuff.
So talk to your lawmakers, write to them,
ask them what they're doing to establish ethical boundaries for AI
because there has to be some boundaries.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of incredible things AI can be used to do.
But if you have no boundaries, it's going to be very, very, very dangerous.
And so that would be the first thing, you know, at this point,
I'm handling the legal costs and everything, but this could eventually get so expensive legally,
you know, depending on the strategy, they take that, you know, maybe at that point we do another
round of going through everywhere and saying, hey, can people jump in and help?
But, you know, I think we can take this all the way, and I really do believe that it's important
that we get serious sincere changes in the marketplace.
Count on me as a serious ally.
I don't think I've ever made this offer to anybody, but I want you to give me regular updates
and come on the program.
Whenever you have an update, you just call.
I'll put you on the air and you give us an update
because we will follow this story.
And it's important.
I mean, this is the beginning of the end.
Anything you might be afraid of with AI,
if this isn't corrected,
it will happen and it will happen quickly.
So it's got to be corrected.
Robbie, thank you so much.
Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate it.
You bet. Bye-bye.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Okay, let's see.
Let me talk a little bit about something that has just been driving me out of my mind this weekend,
and that is, or this week, it's Pete Hegsess Pentagon Prayer Service.
Oh my gosh.
He had a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon.
New York Times says Hegseth intends to make the prayer service.
service a monthly event.
You know, if Hegseth were sacrificing animals to the pagan god of weather and earth,
the New York Times probably would not have a problem with it, okay?
This meltdown is so exhausting because it is so predictable.
1995 has called New York Times.
and the ACLU wants their separation of church and state outrage back,
because they didn't know where they placed it,
and they seemed they left it with you.
Wednesday of this week,
Defense Secretary Pete Hague-Seth hosted a voluntary Christian prayer service
in the Pentagon's auditorium.
It was broadcast on their internal network.
Now, no one was required to attend.
No one was required to watch.
His pastor from his home church in Tennessee spoke at the service
and paid his own way there, by the way, you didn't pay for this.
The event was packed, standing room only, and of course,
the left-wing media was triggered, okay?
You know, we can do all kinds of stuff, but not worship God.
CNN trotted out their legal experts screaming.
It's a First Amendment violation.
You know, that's government endorsing religion.
No, it is not.
I read, I think it was in the New York Times that said,
although the
United States early on
did use federal buildings for church
services, that was at a time
when there was a, listen to this, a
stricter interpretation
of the founder's words.
No,
they didn't need to interpret
the founder's words. They were
the founders. So it wasn't
a stricter interpretation.
It was the founder's
interpretation because they were
doing this all the time. I know everybody on the left is shocked by this, but the U.S.
Capitol served as a church building every Sunday for almost 70 years, started under Thomas
Jefferson. And by the way, he's the one who wrote the word separation of church and state
in a letter. It's not anywhere else in a federal document. It's in a letter. Separation and church.
And yet he was the guy who was like, you know what, bring your church service. Let's just do it in the House of
representatives. So the House of Representatives, the podium that sits there was for 70 years,
the pulpit for preachers. And it wasn't just one denomination. You could use it and thousands of people
attended, including presidents like Thomas Jefferson, who was hardly a Bible thumper. But it was a hub
for worship in Washington, D.C. And yet somehow the Republic survived and it grew and it did well,
somehow or another, sorry but Christian prayers and Bible readings in public, you know,
and public officials doing those things woven into our fabric.
George Washington issued proclamation for days of prayers all the time.
Abraham Lincoln leaned on scripture during the Civil War.
We turned the Civil War around after his proclamation of humiliation, fasting,
and prayer to the Almighty God.
I mean, the patron saint of American socialism, FDR,
He read from the Bible on radio broadcast during World War II.
You know, when we were in the midst of D-Day, he got on and led the nation in prayer.
You know, so, you know, Hegsath, 30-minute prayer in the auditorium or 30-minute church service,
not really radical, not breaking new ground.
You know, here's the thing.
public officials have hosted events for other faiths.
In 2007, House of Representatives had a Hindu priest open the session with prayer.
Multiple Muslim imams have given opening prayers read from the Quran in the House chamber.
The Pentagon's chapel hosts service for multiple faiths, including Islam, Judaism.
The media, they lose their mind on those too, right?
Oh, no, no, no.
In fact, that's a cause for celebration for the media.
After one Imam gave the House prayer in 2017,
the Washington Post published the full text of his prayer.
But they don't want to tell you what happened at the Pentagon
other than it happened.
He's got Christians in the Pentagon.
Panic, everybody.
You know, let me be really, really frank with you.
New York Times and those who are freaked out by this
and history and can repeat it accurately, you let me know.
Okay?
but let me ask you this question.
Why do rainbow flags fly at federal buildings every June for Pride Month all month long?
Why are, why is it forced?
Left is fine with those military bases around the world have hosted drag shows, drag shows.
You don't have a problem with that, but you have a problem with the church service?
The left, especially when Joe Biden was in office, treated Pride Month like it was a sacred holiday.
The left dotes on the LGBTQ movement with religious fervor
because it has become a religion.
And it is now clearly a government endorsed religion.
A voluntary Christian prayer service is caused for front page outrage.
Yet this isn't?
There's nothing.
Hmm, wait a minute.
Every since I can remember, the left has weaponized this myth of separation
of church and state, by the guy who was attending the prayers in the House of Representatives.
Reminder, the phrase is not in the Constitution.
The First Amendment says this.
Now, listen to this New York Times.
I know you have a hard time with words, but you talk pretty.
So listen to these words and see if you can understand that.
They're very complex.
The First Amendment says, Congress shall not establish a religion or, you know,
prohibit its free exercise. Wait a minute. So they can't establish a religion or prohibit the free
exercise of religion. That's it. Nothing about endorsing a religion. And that's not what Pete Higgs
says was doing. You know, the left twists this to erase Christianity from the public square.
While they mandate the celebration of state-backed secular ideologies, whether it's pride or climate change,
or the sacred earth worship that's going on.
And I could make the case
that either one of those
is the government establishing a religion.
DEI, ESG,
all of that is treated like a religion.
Climate change, it's a religion.
Transgender surgery, it's a religion.
Doesn't matter what science says. Believe this.
And if you don't believe this, you're a heretic.
and you have to be excommunicated from all of society.
It is a religion with its own high priests.
And that's government establishing a religion.
So if you really want to go to battle on this,
let's go to battle on this, shall we?
Because maybe in your wildest dreams,
Pete Hegseth, which he didn't do,
would get up and go, Christianity is neat
and everybody here should be a Christian.
I endorse it.
That is constitutionally okay.
But what you've done with all of these woke ideas is you have now established a religion.
Not endorsed.
Established.
Let me read it to you one more time.
Congress cannot establish a religion.
or prohibit its free exercise thereof.
So we can be honest with each other.
Because we know which one is trying to destroy one religion
and we know which ones are establishing new religions.
You're on the losing side on this one, New York Times.
But you know what?
At least you're consistent.
