The Glenn Beck Program - Wait — Was Trump RIGHT About Tariffs?! | Guests: Justin Haskins & JP Decker | 7/17/25

Episode Date: July 17, 2025

Glenn is shocked to see the day that the Senate passed the bill that will defund NPR and PBS, as the bill now heads to the House. Glenn and Pat further discuss the disconnect between President Trump a...nd his base regarding the Epstein files. When did the whole Epstein files issue begin? Glenn plays a segment from Michelle Obama’s podcast, in which she and her husband, Barack, address rumors that they are headed for a divorce. Was this all staged? Glenn and Pat also compare an awkward cheek peck Obama gave Michelle to other awkward kisses in the past few years, including an "icky" one from former VP Al Gore. Glenn examines the Ten Commandments and reveals how they alone can restore our republic. Glenn argues that when America removed the Ten Commandments, it didn’t just remove God; it removed the blueprint for civilization. Glenn and Pat discuss the importance of striving to pursue the truth, regardless of the outcome. Our Republic President Justin Haskins joins to discuss how President Trump’s tariffs are somehow not driving inflation. Was Glenn Beck wrong when it comes to tariffs? Mercury One executive director J.P. Decker joins to discuss how Mercury One is joining the fight to get the Ten Commandments back into public schools. Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:03:38 what universe I'm living in. There's some really, really good news. You know, it is so weird because every day it's either really, really good news, like unbelievable good news, or just like what is happening on the bad side. Wouldn't you like a day where we just kind of slip it into neutral and drift for a couple of hours? Not going to happen today. Good news on tap. We'll give you that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Every now and then, it's worth asking yourself, who benefits from the choices I make? For instance, when you pay your phone bill, every month, who are you funding? You think it's just the phone company, right? But if you're with one of the big woke wireless companies, the answer might surprise you. Your hard-earned money
Starting point is 00:04:21 could be supporting abortion lobbies, radical gender politics, even groups working to limit your Second Amendment rights. This is why Patriot Mobile exists. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they've built their business around one simple idea. Your money should support the values you believe in, not fight against them. Patriot Mobile gives you access to the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers, but that is a mission that will line up with yours. They support free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the Second Amendment. So if you're tired of the phone bills working against you, make a different choice.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Switch today. go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. Make sure you use the promo code Beck for a free month of service. It's Patreonmobile.com slash Beck 972 Patriot. All right. I don't. I don't.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I can't believe I'm alive to see the day when the Senate actually passes the defunding of NPR and PBS. I, I, I, I, I, I've been doing this forever and forever. I've wondered, how come we have to pay for everything and they don't? How come we have to do? But they don't. And then, and then it was like, and we're paying them to do the things that we're against. At least half the country is against what they do. why are we paying?
Starting point is 00:06:03 And then the bird and the guy in the garbage can show up. And you're like, my kids want their plush toy. And every time I say, you know, maybe they can fund themselves. Everybody says,
Starting point is 00:06:17 you want to kill Big Bird. Big Bird is living in a penthouse. Okay? Big Bird can afford the bird seed. Do you know how much money these guys have made? And yesterday the Senate votes to defile. I don't.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But here's what makes me really happy. Here's the PBS CEO. Listen to this. Cut five. We're always interested, obviously, in making sure that we're serving a multiplicity of viewpoints. You know, Bill Buckley made his home on public broadcasting with the series called Firing Line, which continues today with Margaret Hoover. We are interested in having different perspectives. that we bring forward.
Starting point is 00:07:02 But when I look at the range of our programings on public broadcasting, I can't, I can't make any sense of an argument that we are somehow biased in any way. Oh, okay. Okay, whatever, whatever. Here's the case I'd like to make. You got to make money just like everybody else. We're not living in a communist system.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Why are we paying like, why are we paying for stuff that most people don't use? why when they can make the money themselves they can do it on their own why would we pay for a government why I don't care who it is let's say they were all just the big organ of the Republican Party would you want that I don't I wouldn't want to fund that either
Starting point is 00:07:50 why why would we fund a government run institution that is supposed to be giving us facts do you trust the government on anything? Because I don't. I don't want to hear it from the GOP. I don't want to hear it from the DNC. And here's the idea. You can make money on your own.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah. I know it's crazy. It's crazy. Why not? Why? Well, for the first time, first time I don't have to make that argument to a member of the Senate.
Starting point is 00:08:28 They voted them out. Funding done as long as it goes through the house. House, we're so close. We're so close, please. We're so close. Now, I will tell you that millions of children are going to die. Millions of children are going to starve to death. They will go uneducated.
Starting point is 00:08:48 They will not know anything about the Wright brothers. They will never even know what a documentary is. They'll just be indoctrinated by these hateful people on the right, you know, that are running things like ABC and NBC. What? What? Just know, millions of children are going to die. You're going to hear a lot of that. But as long as the house does their job, too late.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I mean, may I just take a moment and admire what has happened in the last six months? six months ago, would you have even thought we could get to NPR and PBS? Six months ago, when he holds his hand up, is like, I promise to be a president, I'm going to be a good one, I'm going to protect and defend the Constitution, whatever that is. He stands up there and says that. Did you even think that we would get to a point to where NPR and PBS were out? Nope.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Not for a second. not for a second. So let's just take a moment and admire. No, House, if you screw this up. What are the odds that actually? What are the odds it? I would have said zero yesterday.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I was talking to Senator who wasn't? Senator Schmidt. And I was like, really? I mean, come on. And he's like, no, I'm pretty optimistic. I'm like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, oh, yeah, so am I. And it passed.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Yeah. It's fantastic Well, let's say hello to Pat Gray Hello Hi Pat Now that you've covered the happy talk Oh boy Are you gonna be Debbie Downer?
Starting point is 00:10:42 I'm a little pissed off today Oh are you? Yeah, just a little I can't imagine why No actually a lot Okay I'm on fire pissed off today You really?
Starting point is 00:10:53 You don't sound it You know This whole thing That they ratcheted up that, including President Trump, ratcheted up because they got our expectations so high that this Epstein situation was going to be dealt with. We were going to find out the real story on what happened to him in the jail cell.
Starting point is 00:11:14 We were going to find out the real story on who was abusing these children for years. We're going to find all that out. It's coming out. Day one, as soon as we're in office, we're doing it. Believe me. Okay, we wait five months for it. And then we're told, oh, I'm sorry. Sorry, none of that exists.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Uh-huh. What? That's, that is not a hoax that we've been ratcheting up. I don't even think it's a hoax. The Democrats ratcheted up. They did that to us. The people in office now are the people who got our expectations this high. I, it's, it's really hacked me on.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I heard someone on your show today, call in and say, I am so pissed. I'm a supporter of Donald Trump. I have been. I voted for him. And now he's calling me stupid. Now he's calling me a traitor or whatever. No.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Sweetheart, take that off your plate. He's not. He's calling me stupid. Well, that's true. He's calling me and people like me, including you, Pat. He's calling people like us stupid. Not you. He's not saying that.
Starting point is 00:12:26 That whole message is not. not directed to you. Just like when he sat down in the cabinet room. That is really true. And he said to the New York Post reporter, are you even, that's a stupid question. Are you even thinking? You're still talking about that. That was not directed to the American people.
Starting point is 00:12:45 That wasn't even directed just solely to the guy from the post. That was directed to all of the other reporters in the room. You want some of this? Because I'll give it to you. Yeah. It was an intimidation. Right. So he is not, he's not mad at you. He's not calling you names. He's calling people like me names. All right. And quite honestly, wish he wouldn't. But, you know, it just comes with our job. It just comes with our job. The president, if the president likes you, no president has ever liked me. If the president likes you, great. If he doesn't like you, oh, well, this is our job. Okay. And my job is not to help him get elected, even though I think I, you know, my personal time, I think I did that because I so believed this is the end of the country without him.
Starting point is 00:13:43 And I still believe he's, he is moving towards the best president in the history of the country absent George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. And he might, if we go through what I think we're going to. going to go through, he might actually rival Abraham Lincoln. So I have tremendous respect for what he's doing. Only time will tell if any of that is true and history will judge. But on the pace that he's at right now and the things that he has done, it is remarkable. It's breathtaking. It's breathtaking. So I applaud him for all of those things. I'm a huge fan of all of those things. But not on this and I'm just not going, I'm, look, I'm,
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm in this weird position, this really weird position, internally here. I've got half the staff saying, well, I have the entire staff saying, you really don't want Donald Trump as an enemy. And I'm like, nah,
Starting point is 00:14:51 he'd been an enemy before. Not pleasant. It's not pleasant. That's very true. But I've been here before. and part of me that says oh no not again but that's just the job yeah um i have have everybody warning me oh you don't want to do that then i have people warning me everywhere you're going to alienate half your audience i can't worry about that okay i'm not doing this for business i could
Starting point is 00:15:22 believe me i would have retired a long time ago i'm doing this because i'm I believe in something. And I believe in truth. We're supposed to be pursuing truth. Okay. Now half my staff says, this is absolutely real. This is a cover up, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And half the staff says there's nothing there. And so I had to get between the staff today and have, and they're all so honest and nobody's playing politics with this. I have the best staff, I think of anyone in radio or broadcast and maybe the history of radio and broadcast. These guys are so dedicated, but I'm going to rat Jason out because Jason absolutely believes this is a conspiracy. That's fine. That's fine. And I asked him because he's head of research.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I said, guys, I want you to go and I want you to spend the next few days. and I want you to track where did this begin? When did this begin? When was it we first started hearing about files? When did we first start hearing about, you know, Bill Clinton is on that list. Executives are on that list. Was it back in 2008, 9, 10, 11? Because if it started then, it wasn't about politics.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Because right now, after, 2016, that's when everything went crazy. Things were bad in 2010. But it was the Obama administration going after Jeffrey Epstein at the time. Okay. What did they say back then? Was there all this evidence that they had collected and not used? When did it become a conspiracy that it was being hidden? Now, I went to Grock today. I don't trust Grock. That's why I have actual researchers. But I asked Grock today, when was it?
Starting point is 00:17:32 And it said it started around 2019. I don't think that's right. That's not right. That's not right. No, that's not right. But anything after 2016, I throw up red flags everywhere. Because then it's all about politics. It's either about getting Donald Trump or getting somebody elected,
Starting point is 00:17:53 which leads me to there's nothing in this about Donald Trump because they would have used it. I believe that too. You know, he cannot be in this because they would have used it. The other thing is people are saying he's not releasing this because he's got friends involved or there's big donors involved or the GOP. Donald Trump would burn the GOP down to the ground if he could. Are you kidding me? He'd burn it down to the ground. And with an exception of like Kavanaugh, which he was wrongly accused, tell me the person that
Starting point is 00:18:33 has been in the administration, his administration, that has done something stupid or wrong that he spent any political capital trying to save. If you did something wrong, you screwed something up. He's like, see ya. Okay, right? He doesn't spend that. capital. Why would he spend this much capital today? For a friend? For a supporter? We know it's not him because they would have used it against him. It's not a supporter because he doesn't, he has no
Starting point is 00:19:15 record of spending political capital unless you're wrongly accused. Then he did it. Kavanaugh. he spent a lot of political capital on that. So what's his motivation? I did a show last night, man, it is on fire right now, the number of views it has. And I don't know if any of his right, but I walked on the set last night, and I had this whole script that we had prepared for days we'd been working on it.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And we had guests lined up and everything else. And I walked on the set and I put the script down and I looked at Jason, and I said, Jason, I hate to say this to you. take the script out of prompter. I can't honestly say any of this anymore because of his tweet yesterday. Something in that tweet stuck out.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And something in that tweet made me go, wait a minute, something's really wrong here. I'll give that to you here in just a second. And you can see it on my YouTube page at glenbeck.com slash YouTube. It's last night's TV show. Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Starting point is 00:21:43 You see what I mean? Oh my gosh. 10 seconds. We're back to the show. I have some more good news for it. I have some great stuff. But I just want you to hear me out. What people are saying now, what Donald Trump is saying is there's nothing in this.
Starting point is 00:22:10 There's nothing in it. There isn't anything. And you know what? I began to really think about this last week when they were throwing up all kinds of walls. And I'm like, okay, why would you say that? Well, maybe there's nothing in it. This is my first thought. Maybe there's nothing in it that is provable.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Okay. Maybe these names are out there, but you can't prove anything. And it has had, now this is key. This is my thinking last week. they have the fingerprints of a thousand people on it. They have, it, it sat around at the Justice Department on God knows whose desk or in what vault and who had access to it for at least four years under the Democratic control. So you don't know what's true. You don't know what's been taken out.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You don't, you have no idea. I was thinking last week what was taken out. Then Donald Trump yesterday said, this is a hoax. No, it's not a hoax. Wait a minute. He said it was a hoax written by the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, Brennan, and all the usual suspects. And he said written by, is it possible that all of a sudden, lo and behold, gee, we look through it. Look who's in here. And he can't prove other than that, I didn't do that. I didn't do that. Or there's something in there that has been written by the law. left. Brennan in particular. You don't think Brennan would do this? If he was actually there, Donald Trump would not be the president today. Okay? They would have used it. But maybe it was a booby trap. Knowing he was running on that, go ahead, release it. Release it. Look what, oh, look what you'll find.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Booby trap. So they always put us in a lose-lose situation. Is that possible? This is Glenn Beck. It is easy to think of sacrifice as something that lives in the past, something that you read about in history books or see it in old black and white newsreels. But every day, somewhere in America, there is a first responder or a member of our military who puts that uniform on knowing they might not come home. They don't do it for praise. They don't do it for recognition. They do it because that's who they are. And when the worst happens, when a hero falls, you know, there's a moment where a family wonders how they'll ever put their lives back together.
Starting point is 00:24:36 and that's where the Tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in. They step up to pay off the mortgages for the Gold Star families and the families of the first responders killed in a line of duty. And they build smart homes for the severely injured veterans. And they provide hope and relief and the dignity in the midst of the unimaginable loss. Because sacrifice isn't just a story from the past. It is still happening every day. And it still deserves our support.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Can you be part of the good that they're doing? Please donate $11 a month to Tunnel to. the tower is at t2t.org. That's t, the number two t.org. Get involved in the central Texas flood cleanup by donating at mercury one.org. Relentlessly pursuing truth. That's what we try to do here. Relentlessly pursue truth to the best of our ability. I can't tell you what's true, what's not. I can tell you to the best of my ability what I think is true. And there's a lot of stuff that I don't know what's true or not yet, but we're relentlessly pursuing it. Because I believe the truth will set you free one way or another.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And that is a message truly of faith. The truth shall set you free. That's scriptural. And it is a testament to faith. Do you believe universal truth, i.e. God and his truth, his absolute universal and eternal truth wins. I believe that. The good guys win eventually. May not win in my lifetime, but it wins because the truth will always win. That is a belief in God. That's where that comes from. And this is really super hard. But I think this is the first challenge that I have had since
Starting point is 00:26:50 the 2020 election. Because I made a promise to myself, I'm not going to be married. into any outcome because the 2020 election, it didn't go our way, but or did it, or did it. Because Donald Trump is doing more this term in six months that he could have done in the last four years of his of 2020. And he's a different man. And he knows who he serves. It's, it's different now. So I actually think what we thought should have happened would have been the best thing for us in 2020 was not.
Starting point is 00:27:33 God didn't give us what we wanted. He gave us what we deserve and what falls in line with his plans because I do believe it's good versus evil. And I don't mean that the Democrats are evil. I believe there is a force of evil that is using people on both sides. but generally it is coming from the left, evil is a force to be reckoned with. And there are forces of good as well. And they have nothing to do with political parties. But I just know God's will be done.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And so I've tried to surrender after 2020. I was like, okay, well, I don't kind of get wrapped up in that anymore. And then I saw the good that came of it. And I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute. I shouldn't have a horse in the race. I should just be pursuing truth and not my way. Just pursue truth. And know that it's all going to work out the way it's supposed to.
Starting point is 00:28:32 That again is trust in God. So anyone who is saying either Donald Trump, you need to lay off or Donald Trump, you know, he's a villain, that's you. And I don't want to get caught up in this. That's you. That's coming from. do you put your faith in God or do you put your faith in Donald Trump? We trust Donald Trump. I think my pursuit is because I like Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I believe he's doing a great job and I think the deep state is screwing with Donald Trump. And I don't know who's part of the deep state and who's not. I don't believe he is. I trust him. But you know what? You put your trust in men every time that will fail you. So, you know, don't do that. I believe that he is doing the best he can, and I might find out later that, you know, I was wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Oh, well, God's will be done. I'm not going to trust in any man. I'm going to trust in God. And I suggest that it doesn't mean we don't relentlessly pursue the truth. I'm not going to stop pursuing the Epstein thing. But I am not going to take it with a vengeance of, I've got to prove what, that he's lying. or that he's telling the truth. I have my suspicions,
Starting point is 00:29:59 but I just want the truth. That's all I want. Don't take things personally. Otherwise, we are going to end up in civil war. We're going to. And we will destroy everything. Because when you are angry, when we are forcing our will,
Starting point is 00:30:22 I mean, there was a lot of people in 2020 that were like, they're cheating. They're cheating. Maybe we should cheat too. No, no, we shouldn't know. We shouldn't play their game. I don't want to become them. And that's the only way we win in the end is if we surround ourselves with truth all of the time. So who do you serve? I serve God. Who do you trust? I trust God. And it's not up to me to be the arbiter of truth or to get my way or to win. It's my way to do my part in pursuing truth. That's it.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Let the chips fall where they may. Now, let me take you to some place. I mean, I think kind of entertaining. Michelle Obama has a podcast. Who knew? She does it with her brother. Who knew?
Starting point is 00:31:15 It's, you know, I mean, it's a podcast with two brothers, right? And they wanted to address the rumors that they're getting a divorce. And this thing seems so staged. I want you to listen to this awkward exchange on the podcast. Cut one, please.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Wait, you guys like each other? Oh, yeah, really, huh? The rumor meal. It's my husband, y'all. She'll send me back. Now don't start. I can't. It was touching go for a while.
Starting point is 00:31:51 It's so nice to have you both in the same room together. I know. No, because when we aren't, folks think we're divorced. There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man. And we've had some really hard times. So we have had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures. And I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Don't make me crying. Right at the beginning of all. I believe to her now. Oh, no, I'm going to start tearing up now. And welcome to IMO. Not necessarily to leave that on us. Get you all teared up. See, but this is why I can't talk.
Starting point is 00:32:32 See, you can take the hard stuff. But when I start talking about the sweet stuff, you're like, stop. No, I can't do it. I love it. I'm enjoying it. But thank you, honey, for being on our show. Thanks for making the time. You guys are doing good?
Starting point is 00:32:46 You guys are doing good. Of course I've been listening. Doing good. What? No, they're not doing good. They're not doing good. They're not doing good. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And then there was this at the beginning. And some people say this was very awkward. Some people say, no, it was very nice. It was very nice. When he walks in the room, he gives her a hug and a kiss. Watch. Gives her little peck in the cheek. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Does that look like they're, oh, they're totally into each other? Well, I'll give my wife a peck on the cheek occasionally if she walks into a room. If she walks into a... If you haven't seen her in months, and it seems like they happen. All right. Well, that's a different. Would you kiss her on the cheek?
Starting point is 00:33:29 No, it's a little different. It's a little, that would be a little different. But I wouldn't make our first, you know, seeing of each other on television either. Right. So, you know. That's true.
Starting point is 00:33:39 That is true. But I, you know, in listening to the staff talk about this, and they were like, it was a really uncomfortable. Okay, well, maybe. Maybe. I think it was a little uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:33:49 It was a little uncomfortable. But, I mean, it's still, you know, maybe, maybe. But I don't think that rivals, and I can't decide which is the worst, most uncomfortable kiss. Let me roll you back into the time machine to Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Do you remember this kiss? He turns away immediately away from the camera because he's like, he was about to vomit.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah. It was so awkward. When that happened, all of us went, oh my gosh, he is only kissed little boys. What are we doing? What is happening? He doesn't like women. What is happening? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:34 And then there's the other one that sticks out in my mind of, and I'm not sure which is worse, the Lisa Marie or the tipper in Al Gore. The Kiss. The famous exchange during the 2000 Democratic presidential convention was to some lovely, to others, icky. That's an ABC reporter. To some lovely. Others, icky. And it really was. And it was, I believe his global warming stuff more than that kiss.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And you know where I stand on global warming? Yeah. That was the most awkward kiss, I think, ever on television. Yeah. It was pretty bad. Yeah. Pretty bad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So when people who are, you know, these youngsters these days, they look at Barack and Michelle and go, that was an awkward kiss. Don't even start with it. We know when we. were kids, we knew what awkward kisses were like. The other awkward thing about that is she claims that there hasn't been one moment in their marriage where she has considered leaving him. She just said a while ago, I don't know, a month within a year ago, she hated his guts
Starting point is 00:35:56 for 10 years. She hated him for 10 years. That doesn't mean that you're going to give up. It does. I guess not. I guess not. Maybe you enjoy being miserable. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I got to tell you the truth. My grandmother, when I got a divorce, it just just busted me up forever. I call her up and I said on my first marriage, grandma, we're getting a divorce. And my sweet little 80-year-old grandmother who never said a bad thing in her life said, excuse me and I said what we're getting a divorce and she said how dare you
Starting point is 00:36:37 I was like what's happening and she said I really thought you would be the one that would understand out of everybody in this family I thought you would understand and I said what and she said this just this just crushed me when she said it do you think
Starting point is 00:36:54 your grandfather and I liked each other all those years It's like, well, wow. Yeah, kind of. And she said, we loved each other, but we didn't always like each other. And there were times that we were so mad at each other. But we knew one thing. Marriage last until death.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Did she know your first wife? Okay. All right. That's just not necessary. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.com. Imagine buying or selling a home that came with a warning label may cause extreme stress. late nights, financial headaches, unexpected tears, consult professional before proceeding. How terrifying is that when you realize you don't even know what that professional is?
Starting point is 00:37:38 How do you know who a professional real estate agent is? Because most of us, I mean, honestly, you hear it from a friend, right? Or you've moved someplace and you used them before and it worked out for you. But are they the best? So if you're working with the wrong agent, somebody who doesn't understand the market, It doesn't understand your priorities or doesn't care enough to fight for you. It's real trouble. This is why we created real estate agents.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I trust.com. This is my company. This is not just a referral service. This is a network of experienced professionals who know how to make the process smoother and faster and less painful. They've got the track record to prove it and we can show it to you. They have been vetted to ensure that you're getting someone who actually cares about the outcome, not just the commission. No headaches, no horror stories, just real help from people who know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Because your next move shouldn't come with a warning label. It should come with increased peace of mind. So go to real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents I trust.com. This is Glenn Beck. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Let's see here. There was an advisor. You know, what was it? Last week that Joe Biden's doctor said, I can't violate attorney, I mean, a patient physician confidentiality. Yeah. So I can't say about his health. So I plead the fifth. And, you know, personally, I've got a lot to say on that.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Sorry. But the president kind of belongs to the country in that case. When there's a real problem, we. have to know. Okay. Like, for instance, I don't know if most people know this, but the president can't say, I'm going here. If the Secret Service says, no, sir, you're not. The Secret Service wins because they work for the Constitution and so does the president. And the president is a representative of the people and it's their job to keep him and the constitutional order in place. So the president can say whatever he wants, but if he's putting himself in extreme danger, sorry.
Starting point is 00:40:15 sir, you're not going parachuting this weekend. Okay. And I think the same should be true with his health. I don't need to know all the ins and outs of his health and everything else. But if there's something wrong, we should be able to know that. And clearly there was something wrong with Joe Biden. And so when we're investigating and we have to know because how do we put up, how do we make sure that doesn't happen again?
Starting point is 00:40:40 We have to know. But he says, I can't violate it. Okay. We could take that to court if we had to. But there was another advisor. This is a Biden advisor, not a doctor. Cut two. Mr. Bernal, did you ever advise President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter Biden?
Starting point is 00:40:59 On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Mr. Bernal, was President Joe Biden fit to exercise the duties of the president? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment. rights in the Constitution. Wow. Let the record reflect that Mr. Bernal has invoked the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Mr. Bernal, please be very clear. Are you declining to answer the question put to you solely on the ground that you believe the answer will incriminate you? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Wow. Mr. Bernal, did any unelected official or family member of
Starting point is 00:41:42 President Joe Biden execute the duties? of the presidency. On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Did President Joe Biden ever instruct you to lie regarding his health at any time, including but not limited in your testimony to Congress today? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Wow. Okay, some of that. All right. Wow. Was he fit to exercise the duty? of the president. That one's easily answerable. Yes, of course he was.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Right. Right. What are you afraid of on that particular question? I mean, that doesn't bode well for the former president and the outgoing administration. This thing is going to come crashing down.
Starting point is 00:42:38 You watch next 12 months. It's going to be very interesting to watch. This is Glenn Beck. I want to talk to you a little bit about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile, you know, is there for you to make sure that you are not sending money to a mobile phone service that is going against all of your ideals and your hopes and your dreams and what you believe in.

Starting point is 00:44:02 Bevenue at board of VIAI. Embarked and profite. Embarque and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admire. and profite.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Via Rae, the voice that we love. A really exciting announcement about restoring truth to our schools. Something that Mercury 1 or the American Journey experience in wall builders have been working on together with some partners to change the way our schools operate internally. And the good thing is there's two laws that have just been passed. And we need to spread this. and we're going to tell you all about it here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Z Factor.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Ever think to yourself? I bet Darth Vader would have been a lot friendlier guy if he would have gotten sleep. I mean, imagine sleeping in that mask? I mean, that's worse than a sleep apnea mask. Anyway. Yeah, sure, maybe. But bad sleep doesn't just make you tired. It does make you cranky, irritable, short-tempered, and a little like Darth Vader,
Starting point is 00:46:18 I'm just saying. Poor sleep makes everything harder. Your mood, your focus, even your health, your relationship. Relationships. Imagine how easier life will be when you're actually well-rested. Z-Factor, a natural sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling, well, not like Darth Vader, let's just say that. Makes you feel more like you, well-rested, in a better mood and ready to face the day without force choking your, you know, your coworkers, you know. with, anyway, first time Z Factor buyer is going to enjoy 46%
Starting point is 00:46:53 savings, just 1995, 30 day supply, visit Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief, that's relieffactor.com. All right. There is a website I want you to go to. It's called Restore American Schools.com. And it is a partnership with the American Journey
Starting point is 00:47:13 Experience. If you don't know what the American Journey Experience, that is an offshoot of Mercury 1. It is our history. Department and you're going to be hearing a lot about the American Journey experience soon. But this is the one that we are collecting all of the documents. We're preserving history and we're teaching history. So we put a partnership together with Patriot Mobile, American Journey Experience and wall builders plus the pro-family legislative network, which is an amazing organization. Ten other groups have all gotten together. And this is a movement to,
Starting point is 00:47:49 restore the Ten Commandments back into public school classrooms. This is really, really important. The commandments were in, you know, in our education system for 150 years. Our textbooks, it was hanging in many classroom walls. You know, it's what the Supreme Court justices look at when they are sitting at the bench adjudicating. They look and right in front of them is Moses with the Ten Commandments. Why?
Starting point is 00:48:18 The Ten Commandments are critical. for a free society. Why? Oh, here he goes on that God stuff. No. Hear me out. Commandment number one, you'll have no other gods before me. Oh, see, there's a God stuff. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:48:36 This doesn't have to be about theological differences, okay? This is a warning against idolatry in all of its forms. When we make the state or money or race or crees, or technology, anything, the ultimate authority, we create a God that will consume us. This commandment teaches us that to truth comes from something much, much higher. It's the beginning of limits on power, limits on government, because they are not a God. I want to show you how the Ten Commandments alone can restore our Republic. You just have to know how to read them without just focusing on the religious aspect of it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 So no God before me. No king. No mob. No party. No job. Nothing. You shall not make yourself a carved image. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I haven't made a graven image in a very, In fact, maybe ever. I don't think I've made. I've always skated past number two because I'm like, got that one down. You know, hey Lord, you say what you want, but I never made a graven image.
Starting point is 00:50:00 This is actually when people begin to serve images instead of truth. Because tyranny always follows. This frees your mind. It's a call to seek truth, not manipulation. All right? We are full of images in the media, manufactured images, and its relevance with AI, which is now creating images that will be your partner, your lover, your friend.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Don't create those images. Now that is more urgent than ever, because if you bond with that, now you've made that technology, you're God. So now you've got the Graven image thing and God. You shall not take the Lord of the name, the Lord thy God in vain. This is not just about cursing. This is about the misuse of moral authority. And I learned that we have now American Journey experience. We have the largest collection of Jamestown and Pilgrim documents and artifacts in the world.
Starting point is 00:51:10 And one of the things that the pilgrims printed right, before the king went and tried to get him was a little pamphlet almost, and it was going to their church in Perth, England. And they printed it and said, don't do these things. They're not in the Bible. But their testimony is on the front page. And I didn't understand this at first. All it said was, you shall not take the Lord thy God's name in vain.
Starting point is 00:51:44 And I'm like, okay, they got, all right, I know that. So they're not swearing in the pamphlet. What does that mean? No. It means we will not misuse our moral authority. We will not invoke God or any higher cause for wicked ends. They're saying, we know we are speaking on behalf of God. We know the punishment for that.
Starting point is 00:52:10 So we are telling you the truth. that is i mean that's an amazing thing if you could live that one so much where your testimony is i know that i know the commandment not to take the lord's god the lord god's name in vain number four remember the sabbath day and keep it holy well i don't want what is that what is that for for western society what does that mean you don't work seven days Now, where would the progressive movement be? If they couldn't stop child labor, well, not in pot farms, but they couldn't stop child labor under Teddy Roosevelt. Do you think we would have a, do they have seven-day work weeks, or do they have weekends off, you know, in China?
Starting point is 00:53:05 When slaves were around, did they have weekends off? They're like, hey, you can whip me, but not on a Saturday or a Sunday. I'm not working today. No. This is something radical. Dignity for workers, the right to rest, the rhythm of renewal. In a world that never sleeps, we forget the human soul needs time, unmonetized, unplugged, rest one day. Do you see, are you beginning to see how these are the reason why we have lost our way as a society is because we've forgotten the Ten Commandments and it really doesn't. I've said this for a year.
Starting point is 00:53:48 If Moses would have come down and said, These are the Ten Commandments and God commanding. We get what we get. When you go into an amoral society and nobody cares about God, everybody forgets it. But if we would just repackage it as Mo's top 10 tips and we put it into a slick Instagram thing and Mo was there going, hey, hey, I got something cool to tell you about.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Everybody would live it. because it's what builds civilizations. Honor your father and mother. Why? Why is that so important? Because civilization begins with the family, not with the state, not with a corporation. It doesn't survive without generational wisdom. Without generational wisdom, you have cultural amnesia.
Starting point is 00:54:41 and a society that mocks its elders and abandons its children is suicidal. That's what that means. Six, you shall not murder. That's a pretty good one. It's always been misinterpreted. God never said you shall not kill. It says you shall not murder. That one should be obvious.
Starting point is 00:55:02 But, you know, from the womb to the street to the clinic, we've redefined life to suit this convenience. but the commandments say no one is expendable life has value not because the state permits it because life is sacred and doesn't belong to you
Starting point is 00:55:21 you cannot snuff it out why as we lose our understanding of the Ten Commandments are we suddenly seeing this rise in assisted suicide why are the bluest states in the union saying yeah the state can kill you you know you just
Starting point is 00:55:38 You need a doctor to help you out on that. No, that's murder. That's murder. That's why it's on the rise because we have lost the understanding, thou shall not murder. What it's really saying is life is sacred. You shall not commit adultery. This one is today.
Starting point is 00:56:06 This one is almost everything we've talked about in the last few weeks. And we haven't talked about marriage. We haven't talked about adultery. This one is about trust. This one is about making a covenant and keeping your word. A society that treats vows as disposable, as disposable treats people as disposable. If there is no vow, if I look at you in the eye and say,
Starting point is 00:56:39 I vow to do this and then I'm like, yeah, that was on Saturday. Then Fidelity is dead. Trust is dead. And a community dies. Shall not steal. I'm pretty clear.
Starting point is 00:56:57 I'd like to bring this one into the IRS. Property rights. Personal responsibility. This one is the foundation of capitalism, not cronyism. Earned stewardship. Without this, there's no incentive to build. This is why we have the patent.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Laws. That's just another way of our society saying, you shall not steal. That person came up with it. They have the right to that idea, not you. You want to use that. Pay them. Otherwise, you're stealing their idea. Without thou shall not steal, you wouldn't have patents. Without patents, you wouldn't have America. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Truth matters. In court, in media, in conversation, if lies rule, justice dies. We're seeing that. This is the anchor of fairness. This is the anchor of journalism. This is the anchor of law. This is the anchor of all society. You can't lie. You shall not covet. That's all about greed, all about envy. If we don't, if we don't stop envying, if we, look at what's happened.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Our society has started, because we've lost track of the Ten Commandments, our society now pits the rich and the poor. It pits, we've never, in my lifetime, I've never seen it where people are like, yeah, they're rich. Who cares? Let their children die in a flood. I've never seen that. Never. That's covet. That's they have something I want, and I don't care what happens to them because I want their stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You have no civilization. When we remove the Ten Commandments, we didn't just remove God. We removed the blueprint for all civilization. Without the Ten Commandments, we cannot write the ship. We cannot fix ourselves. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to restore American schools.com.
Starting point is 00:59:34 There are two states right now and many more are being worked on. This year, Texas passed the Ten Commandments Bill, SB 10, sponsored by Phil King and Candy Noble. Arkansas just passed SB 433, sponsored by Jim Dotson and Representative Alyssa Brown. These two states, now it is by law. If the community produces the Ten Commandments and it's in a certain form, certain size, whatever, can we show the one that we have?
Starting point is 01:00:09 You can frame it or you can just have it, you know, a stiff thing that they can put up, then they have to put this up in the school. They must, they're required by law. So here's what I'd like you to do. I'd like you to adopt a school in one of those two states. I'd like you to adopt a school. I'd like you to tell all of your friends and go to the website because it's also talking about other states where this is a movement. If we can restore the Ten Commandments with the understanding
Starting point is 01:00:43 of what it means to civilization, we can fix our society. Now, these Ten Commandments, nobody's making any money on it. dollar each. So you got a school and you've got, you know, 10 classrooms, buy 10 of them. It's 10 bucks. Bring them to the school and say, or send them to the school and say, under law, these are required to be posted. Send them as many as you possibly can. So because they have to post them. So, you know, because I know there will be some there. They're like, we posted it. It's in the closet behind this door. I don't know how the laws are written. but they have to be posted.
Starting point is 01:01:27 So state can't do it. If we want the state to do less, then we have to do more. This is a dollar. Get the Ten Commandments into every single one of these two state schools and help us turn the other states. It is the answer. It is the formula for Western civilization. All right. Back in just a second.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Put yourself in someone else's shoes for a minute. Imagine living in a country where air raid sirens are in. normal part of life where your children know exactly how long they have to have to reach a bomb shelter. That's the way it is. You know, never fully unpack a suitcase because you never know when you're going to have to leave in a hurry. That is crazy, right? That's the reality if you live over in Israel, especially over the last couple of years, escalating attacks, rocket fire, terrorism, all targeted at innocent men, women, and children who are simply trying to live their lives in peace.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Even in the midst of all of this, there is hope. And a lot of it is coming from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They've been on the ground now, providing food, shelter, medical aid, comfort to those who need it most. They've stood by Israel and they're most vulnerable when support is waning, quite honestly, for the Jew. I mean, you don't have to agree with their policies, but don't they have a right to live? You're not just giving aid, you're giving hope and compassion and a reminder even in the darkest moments. We will never forget. You are not alone. Now is your time to stand with Israel's innocent and most vulnerable. Rush your gift now to 888-488-488-I-F-CJ 888-488-488-I-F-CJ or go online to IFCJ.
Starting point is 01:03:07 That's IFCJ.org. 888-488-488-I-F-CJ. 10 seconds and back to the show. I mean, I am, I got to tell you, I've been saying this lately. You have no idea. what Mercury 1 has been up to and American Journey experience and what they're about to do. I've told you that I am radically changing my life and everything about my life in January. And I really want you to be there for the ride, but I'll tell you about all of that coming up. But this is the kind of stuff that we're working on. I've committed that 10% of everything my company makes, everything is going to A.J.E.
Starting point is 01:04:01 And Mercury 1. I believe in what we're doing. And what we're doing is this. We've got to get the 10 commandments. And this is not like, we're no longer, it's amazing. I feel like my whole life has been to study up for this moment. we now have the organizations behind us to be able to have the political clout to be able to move, you know, legislation in states and be able to say the Ten Commandment should be in Texas in all the schools and get that done in Arkansas. And we're in multiple states right now, but we really need your support.
Starting point is 01:04:45 and I'm so excited to tell you coming soon. Hopefully I'll be able to give you more in September. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be coy. You'll understand in the end, but I'll tell you more in September. And then we launch in January. That's the thing. You don't need to be coy, Roy.
Starting point is 01:05:07 You know, just get yourself free. I thought that was important to mention. You really need to quote old songs that, Really? It's what I do. It's part of the beauty. You know, the splendor that is. Thank you, Pat.
Starting point is 01:05:22 You know, you're talking about the education and how important that is. Think of the flip side, the investment that progressives have made in education and how that paid off for them big time over the last hundred years. We have lost a total generation. Yeah. If we don't grab the generation under this one, we're done forever. There's got to be. No doubt. There has got to be a renaissance of true American history and truth that is being taught.
Starting point is 01:05:54 And this generation, this youngest generation, they are starving for it. They know. This is Glenn Beck. One of the other partners that I'm working with next year is Prigger U, and I welcome him to the show. Independence Day might be over, but the fight for America's future, just getting started. Every day, we're seeing what happens when a generation grows up, without a solid understanding of America, her history, her founding principles, and the values that made her great. But thankfully, Prager You is also doing something about it. They are leading a massive
Starting point is 01:06:25 initiative to head towards America's 250 with free engaging resources designed to educate young people and a whole lot of adults as well, whether it's through their famous five-minute videos, free courses, daily civic challenges, Prager You is making it now easier than ever to learn what schools, refuse to teach. This approach to American education is so incredibly important to our future. I cannot say it enough. You want to understand the Constitution. You're curious about what the founding fathers actually believed. Prager You is there. They'll help deliver those answers in just minutes a day. Pass it along to your kids, your grandkids. Take the challenge for yourself because you'll be shocked on what you don't know. The future belongs to those who knew where they came from.

Every weekday, live from 7 to 9 Eastern, or anytime and anywhere you get your podcast. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I'm glad you're here. I have a segment coming up with Justin Askins, and I don't think the president's going to want to hear this from me today, or maybe ever.
Starting point is 01:07:58 But I told him, first term, first term. He called me up. And I said, you know, I got a problem with the tariffs. And he's like, I know. And I said, you know, but hey, what do I know? I'm not an economist. I just, I know what I think I know. And he said, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Let me hear it. And we talked for 30 minutes about tariffs. This is during the first term? First term. And he actually listened to me. We went back and forth. I mean, we had a really good discussion on it. And I said, I just don't think that tariffs have ever worked.
Starting point is 01:08:40 And that's when he said, yeah, well, I'm going to do it, Glenn. I just like tariffs. I believe in them. I'm going to do it. And I had respect for him because he talked about it. He listened to me. And then he didn't say, I'll take that under advisement, knowing that he wasn't going to take it over. He just said, guys.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Great, I heard you. You didn't change my mind. And when I saw him the last time, he said, I'm going to, I think he said it even in the interview. I'm going to make you a believer in tariffs. And I said, if you do, I'll be the first to admit it that I was wrong. Justin Haskins has been doing, Justin Haskins is the co-author of the last three books that I wrote. He is, you know, in charge of stop socialism.com. and he's a really good researcher.
Starting point is 01:09:29 And he wrote me last night, I think. And he said, Glenn, I think Trump is right about tariffs. And I'm like, what? He said, I have been doing research on this. And the receipts are coming in. And I think he might be right about tariffs. And I'm like, okay, make the case. So he's coming on in just a few minutes to make the case that the evidence is in that
Starting point is 01:09:56 yeah, maybe tariffs are not, well, they're not creating inflation. We know that. And that was one of the big things that's going to create inflation. And that it's not going to bring in any money. It's brought in a lot of money. It brought in a lot of money. And in fact, I think last, was it last month, we had a surplus? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:17 What? In the tens of billions. A surplus? Yeah, when was the last time we heard that? Never. Did they spend it on gum? Or, you know, I don't know, doing some study of somebody's private organs or something. Please, please apply that to principle, will you, please?
Starting point is 01:10:37 Yeah. But so that's coming up in just a minute. That should be interesting. I'd like to be convinced on that. Of course, I would too. Like you just mentioned, there are some measurables that have been positive. Right. Now, I'm doing this today because Stu is back on Monday, and he'll rain on this parade all day long.
Starting point is 01:10:54 And I'm bummed because the president's not going to take my phone call today. By the way, I said this early on the show, and I want you to know, anybody who is a supporter of his, if you are pissed that he is saying, you know, you're just a loser. You need to shut up, but I don't want you to be a member of my, a supporter of my. He's not talking to you. He's not. He's talking to people like me. All right. that's what he's saying.
Starting point is 01:11:25 There are people that have been supporting him, blah, blah, blah. And I told him, I told every time I see him, you know, he's like, how are we? I'm like, I'm good. No violations of the Constitution. I'm really good. Everything's great. Okay? You're making great progress.
Starting point is 01:11:42 But I've told him, you know, of course, if that goes south at any time, you know, I'm going to say it. And, you know, he laughs about it and he knows. he's not talking to you, his supporter. He's talking to people like me. He's talking to people like Laura Lumer. I mean, she was practically living in the basement of the White House now. Yeah. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:12:09 She's on the outs. And I really believe he doesn't understand why. I don't know why, but he doesn't understand. And there's a lot of people that are still talking about. and he's not talking about you. He's saying that people like me are continuing this hoax. And honestly, I am going to look at that with an open mind. I'm not going to back away from the pursuit of truth,
Starting point is 01:12:39 but I am going to tell you I don't know what the truth is right now. If it's a hoax, you better let Galane Maxwell go. You better get her out of reason. Well, no, not necessarily because she went, I think, she went to jail for procuring people for him. Yeah, but that's a hoax, right? So if you're calling it a hoax, it's all a hoax. No, I think what he was calling a hoax was that he was selling these children or blackmailing people.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Right. Now, I don't know. Is that a hoax or not? I don't know. If it's a hoax, there's a lot of people in this administration that were pushing that hoax hard. They convinced me of that. And so, you know, if it's a hoax, you need to come out. And I will totally accept this.
Starting point is 01:13:28 I think the American people are very understanding and saying, you know what? I thought this before I got in. I got in and I no longer think that. And you know what? I apologize for, you know, really pushing this so hard. We would have understood that. Understood it. I still would understand it.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Yeah, I don't think it's too late to do that. I don't think anybody's going to do that. because they're going a completely different route on that. But if it had been handled differently, I think we'd all understand. Look, we thought it was there. We thought there was a list. There's not. So, but that's not how they dealt with it.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Yep. So, you know, we got that going for us. It's fun. It's fun. Yeah. Just don't take it personally. Divorce yourself from the outcome. I know that's really hard.
Starting point is 01:14:21 would I love that attitude. Yeah. Divorce yourself from the outcome. The outcome belongs to God. Remember what George Washington said at the Constitutional Convention? They were arguing about something and no one would budge. And they just could not. Of course, it was involving New York. And they would not budge.
Starting point is 01:14:38 And this, the Constitution, this was the last thing. And it's one of the only things that George Washington said in the Constitutional Convention. He was just there to keep everybody in the room. He was not there for, his advice or anything else. And finally, Ben Franklin looked at George Washington. I'm going to horribly paraphrase this. But Franklin looked at George Washington and said, what do we do?
Starting point is 01:15:03 Because they were at an impasse. And paraphrasing, he said, we have come this far. You have seen the miracles that have brought us from July 2, 1776 to the Constitution. You've seen the battles. You've seen the very finger of God. We have the opportunity to do something truly right. Let's not compromise now. Let's not screw this up.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Do the right thing. The moment is in the hand of God. Why can't we have that belief now? It doesn't mean we don't fight for things. It doesn't mean we sit down. doesn't mean we stop pursuing truth. It doesn't mean you change anything except let go of the outcome. Let me give you the example I gave last hour.
Starting point is 01:15:59 2000. Sorry, 2020. The election, 2020. Remember how upset we were? And how many of us have gone very, my gosh, the outcome. If it would have gone the other way, we wouldn't be anywhere where we are now. We wouldn't have had the Senate last night. Ring the bells.
Starting point is 01:16:21 We had the Senate last night vote and pass it to the House to stop funding NPR and PBS. I never thought that would happen. I never thought Big Bird would stop picking our pockets. Ever. If it passes the House, it's over. It's over. Do you think we would have gotten that in 2021 or the first six months of 2020? Not a prayer.
Starting point is 01:16:50 No. Not a prayer. Let go of the outcome. Trust God. Do everything you can in your power to do the right thing. Do everything you can to pursue truth and then let go of it. Have to or are. We're all going to be driven mad.
Starting point is 01:17:06 All going to be driven mad. 2020 is a perfect example because we wanted it so desperately. Everybody knew that Joe Biden was going to be a disaster. And because of that, President Trump had. four years to plan all of this and know exactly what he was going to do once he took office. And you know what's amazing is there were those people that said, good, let them have it. You'll see what it's like. But that was driven by kind of like spite.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Yes. You know what I mean? Oh, you want some of this? You can have some of that. That's not the same thing. That's not letting go of the outcome. It's like people are saying now about California, let them. Let them.
Starting point is 01:17:49 the only way they're going to learn is if they suffer. I don't think they're ever going to learn. Not a good idea. I don't think they're going to learn. And people are saying the same thing about New York. I know. With Zeran Mamdani. And that will be a disaster.
Starting point is 01:18:02 That affects us all. That's not just a New York thing. Well, let him suffer. They voted for it. No. No. That's our economic heart. That would be a catastrophe.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Yeah. And we will all pay for that. We will all pay for that. New York, you think we're not going to. to bail out New York, you think we're not going to bail out California. It's going to piss me off. But of course we're going to. There are some of the biggest economies in the world. You can't let them fall without the rest of America falling. We're not strong enough. We are too interconnected with one another. You know, it's like, can Germany survive on its own without the EU? Yes. But they're still
Starting point is 01:18:46 disconnected enough. They're still in the very early stages of the EU. That thing could go away and the countries will suffer, but they'll survive. Do you think our states, Texas would, Florida would,
Starting point is 01:19:03 what states do you live in that you say, no, they could, they'll survive. I contend maybe 10, maybe. Maybe 10. And they're probably the ones outside of Texas and Florida with the smallest populations.
Starting point is 01:19:25 You know what I mean? They're probably like Wyoming. And the smaller economies. Yeah, the smaller economies. California by itself is the fifth largest economy in the world. And Texas is eighth or ninth. So that's why we would survive. But yeah, the smaller states that don't have the economic engines, they won't.
Starting point is 01:19:42 And, and, you know, we have, we have had this for so long. that we don't understand what it's like without it. People say, you know, just let it collapse, let it burn down. You don't, this is a miracle. It's called the American experiment and the American miracle for a reason. People have been trying to do this since the beginning of time. We're the only one that has done it and it is lasted. And now we're so used to it.
Starting point is 01:20:17 We're willing to burn it down. I'm not willing to burn this down because you'll never rebuild it. When you start breaking this thing up, there are going to be people all over that are saying, I'm going to get me a piece of that. And then what do you have? We got to fix this. We got to let go of the outcome. Trust God, not people, politicians or systems.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Trust God. just do the next right thing and let it go. Just go out, do your homework, vote. Watch what they're doing. Call them up. Let them know you're watching. Let them know what you feel. Let them make the decision that they're going to make and let it go.
Starting point is 01:21:07 It's all in the hand of God. That's how I know how weak my faith is because I lose that all the time. I get angry all. the time. And I'm like, oh, these people, that is a lack of faith. All right, back in just a second. What if today is the day you make the biggest difference you've ever made? What if today is the day you save a life or 10 lives or 100? Sounds like a big idea, maybe even impossible, but it's not because every day preborn is on the front lines helping mothers in crisis choose life, life for their babies. They do it with compassion, with practical support, and with free
Starting point is 01:21:49 ultrasounds that show a mom the truth. Their baby is alive, growing, and worth protecting. And when a mom sees that truth, she chooses life. Almost every time your gift can provide the ultrasounds. It can save the babies. And it can transform those families forever. You are saving the life. Really, I think of two.
Starting point is 01:22:09 You're saving the soul of the mother and saving her from a life of just misery and regret. And you're saving it. baby and all you're doing is just providing help compassion. If you're a business owner, perhaps you'll consider a larger donation for a write-off. Donation of $1,000, $2,000, even $20,000 would go a long, long way in the efforts. But all gifts, the ultrasounds are $28 and everything is tax deductible. We'll reach into the eternity. So please get involved today.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Donate. Just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 keyword baby. Or visit preborn. That's preborn.com slash beck. That's preborn.com slash back sponsored by preborn. Can't believe he used to be a top 40 disc jockey. But anyway, we still love him. Glenn Beck, we'll be right back.
Starting point is 01:23:18 President Trump said yesterday, see, this guy gets things done. President Trump said yesterday that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its, in its Coke soft drinks in the U.S. Now, Coke has come out and said, well, we, no, we haven't made any announcement on that. We're not confirming or denying any of it. He said, I've been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar in Coke in the United States. They've agreed to do so. I want to thank all those in authority at Coca-Cola. It'd be good move by them.
Starting point is 01:23:49 You'll see it's just better. It is. It's much, much better and much healthier. Now, the corn farmers are like, wait a minute, corn syrup. and corn syrup, I think maybe we should look at, it's not good for you. It's not good for you. And, you know, we might have over-emphasized our corn crops just a little bit because ethanol is not the answer and neither is corn syrup. But, you know, that's another thing the president has to worry about.
Starting point is 01:24:22 I'm glad I'm not president. It's amazing all the things that he's gotten involved in. Right. How do you have time for all that? I don't know. He must never sleep. But I will... Never.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Never. But I will tell you, I would chalk that up as a win. If you could get real sugar back into Coke, be great. Bingo. Now get the McDonald's Coke formula away from McDonald's and put it everywhere. You know, more and more people today are treating ammunition the same way their grandparents treated canned foods and firewood. You know, you stock up, you store it, you store it safely. You make sure that you have what you need, not just for today, but also for what might come next and what happens tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:25:11 Ammo squared is making that possible. Easier than you'd ever think. Think of Ammo squared like a savings account. Instead of dollars, you're stacking ammo, 9mm, 2-2-3, whatever it is you need, automatically, monthly, stored in their secure vault until you decide, ship it to my door. It's really simple. It's smart. and in a world that feels less stable, you know, by the day,
Starting point is 01:25:34 it's one more way to make sure you never get caught unprepared. It's called Ammo Squared. Modern problem, modern solution. Old-fashioned peace of mind is what you get with it. Easiest way to stay prepared is Ammosquared.com. Take the work out of buying ammo. 100,000 members, thousands of five-star ratings just can't be wrong. It's Amosquared.com.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Check them out today. Ammosquared.com. All righty. You know, I don't like it when I'm wrong. And I'm not convinced I'm wrong yet. I'm not convinced yet. But it's looking like I might have been wrong on something. And when I'm wrong, I'm supposed to lead with it.
Starting point is 01:27:28 I'm not leading with it yet. But unfortunately, there's some statistics out that may lead one to believe that I'm not as right as I usually am. We'll get to that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about American financing. Okay, I'm not sitting there with you in person, so I don't know exactly what you're facing financially. You know, whatever it is that got you worried. Maybe you've got a mortgage that's bleeding and dry.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Maybe you've got high interest debt from the credit cards. You never intended to get in the first place. And the balance just never seems to shrink, no matter how long you've been paying them. Maybe you're just looking around this cozy economy and thinking, you know, I just think you need to get my financial house in order before things get really weird. Well, whatever it is, today's today. You can call American financing.

He is the president of Our Republic and the editor,
Starting point is 01:29:10 and chief of Stoppingsocialism.com. He is also the co-author with me of The Great Reset Dark Future and Propaganda Wars. So in other words, I'm saying he doesn't have a lot of credibility. But he is here to report. I don't even think you're, you were wrong on this too with the tariffs, right? Well, at some point I was wrong about everything.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Right, okay. Yeah, right. We're all on the road to being right. But this is coming as a shock. You called yesterday and you said, Glenn, I think the tariff thing, I think the president might be right. And this is something I told him, if I'm wrong, I will admit that I'm wrong. But I don't think I'm wrong. Because this goes against everything that economists have said forever.
Starting point is 01:30:04 The tariffs don't work. They increase inflation. It's going to cost us more. all of these things. You've been studying this now for a while to come up with the right answer, no matter where it fell. Tell me what's going on. Okay. So the most recent inflation data, price data that came out from the government shows that in June, prices went up 2.7% in May. They went up 2.4%. That's compared to a year prior. And most people are saying, well, this is proof that the tariffs are causing inflation. But when you actually start, that inflation is,
Starting point is 01:30:46 the target is two. The target is two. I mean, we're not, I mean, when I was saying that it was going to cause inflation, I thought, you know, we'd be up to 5%. But anyway, go ahead. So these, so the really incredible thing, though, is the more you look at the numbers, the more obvious it is that this does not prove inflation at all. For starters, these numbers are lower than what the numbers were in December and January before Trump was president and before we had any talk of tariffs at all. So that is a big red flag right from the very beginning. When you dive even deeper into the numbers, what you see is that there's all kinds of parts of the consumer price index that track specific industries or kinds of goods and services that should be
Starting point is 01:31:32 showing inflation if inflation is being caused by tariffs, but isn't. So for example, clothing and apparel, 97%, basically, about 97% according to one report, of clothing and apparel comes from overseas as imported into the United States. Correct. So prices for apparel and clothing should be going up, and they're not going up. According to the data, they're actually going down compared to what they were a year ago. Same thing is true with new vehicles. Obviously, there were huge tariffs put on foreign vehicles, not on domestic vehicles,
Starting point is 01:32:07 so it's a little bit more mixed. But new vehicle prices are staying basically flat. They haven't gone up at all, even though there's a 25% tariff on imported cars and car parts. And then when you just look at the overall import prices, you just sort of in an index, which the government tracks, what we're seeing is that prices are basically staying the same from what they were a year ago.
Starting point is 01:32:34 There's very, very little movement overall. No. So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, let me just, let me just make something clear. Somebody's eating the tariffs and it appears to be the companies that are making these things, which is what Donald Trump said. And then the, you know, the economists always say, well, they're just going to pass this on in the price. Well, they have to. They have to get this money someplace. So where are they, is it possible? they're just doing this right now to get past because they know if they jack up their price, you know, they're not going to be able to sell anything. What is happening? How is this money being coughed up by the companies and not passed on to the consumer? Yeah. Well, there's a
Starting point is 01:33:24 is this could be happening. I think the most likely scenario is that they are passing it along to consumers. They're just not passing it along to American consumers. And in other words, they're raising prices elsewhere to try to protect the competitiveness with the American market because the American market is the most important consumer market in the world. And they probably don't want to piss off Donald Trump either by jacking up prices and then potentially having tariffs go up even more as a punishment for doing that because that's a real option. And so I think that's what's happening right now.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Now, it's possible that we're going to see a huge increase in inflation in six months. That's entirely possible. We don't know what's going to happen. But as of right now, all the data is suggesting that recent inflation is not coming from consumer goods being imported or anything like that. That's not where the inflation is coming. Instead, it's coming from housing. That's part of the CPI data. Housing is the cause of the inflation right now.
Starting point is 01:34:27 Wait, it's not housing, is it? Because, you know, the things to make houses is not going through the roof, part of it? in the pun, right? It's not building. No, no. The way the CPI calculates housing is really stupid. They basically look primarily at rent. That's the primary way that they determine housing prices. So they don't, they're not talking about housing cost to build a new house or housing prices to buy a house. They're talking about rent. And then they try to use rent data as a way of calculating how much you would have to pay if you owned a house, but you had to rent the same kind of house. And that's how they come up with this category.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Can I ask a question? Is everybody in Washington, are they all retarded? Because I mean, I don't, what the hell? Who's coming up with that formula? I mean, look, I mean, sort of underlying this whole conversation as you and, you as you and I know, Glenn and Pat, too, the CPI is a joke to begin with. There's all kinds of problems with this system to begin with. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:35:47 Okay. So because I promise the president, if I was wrong and I had the data that I was wrong, I would tell him, do I have to, out of all the days to do this, do I have to call him today and do that? Are we still looking at this going, well, maybe? I think there's a, I think there is a really solid argument that you don't need to make the phone. Oh, my gosh. Today's not the day to call Donald Trump. Today is not the day.
Starting point is 01:36:21 Yeah. And the reason why is because we need, we probably do need more data over a longer period of time to see if corporations are doing something in order to try to try to. to push these costs off into the future for some reason, maybe in the hopes that the tariffs go down, or maybe there's all sorts of ways they could play with it to try to avoid paying those costs today. So it's possible that's what's going on. But as of right now, that is not at all what is happening, as far as I can tell from the data. But isn't the other side of this? Because everybody all said, you know, oh, and it's not going to pay for anything. Didn't we last month have the first surplus since, I don't know, Abraham Lincoln?
Starting point is 01:37:06 Yes. Yes, we did. I don't know how long that surplus is going to last us. Probably not. We had one month. I don't think I've ever heard that before in my lifetime. Hey, United States had a surplus. I looked it up.
Starting point is 01:37:20 I think it was like 20 something years ago. It was the last time that happened. So I remember right. It was like 20 something years ago. So this is incredible, really. And if it works, And you know, you and I have talked about this before. I actually think there is an argument to be made that this whole strategy could work if American
Starting point is 01:37:41 manufacturers can dramatically bring down their costs to produce goods and services so that they can be competitive. And I think that advancements in artificial intelligence and automation is going to open the door to that being a reality. And if you listen to the Trump administration talk, people like Howard Lutnik, Secretary of Commerce, they have said that this is the plan. The plan is go all in on artificial intelligence, automation. That's going to make us competitive with manufacturers overseas.
Starting point is 01:38:11 China is already doing that. They're already automating their factories. They lead the world in automation. Yeah, but they could take half their population, put them up on a plane, and then crash it into the side of the mountain. They don't care. What happens to the people that now don't have a job here? How do they afford the clothes that are now much?
Starting point is 01:38:31 much cheaper? Well, I think the answer to that is there's going to be significantly more wealth, trillions of dollars that we send overseas every year now in the American economy. And that's going to go into other things. It's not as though when new technology comes along, it's not as though people just lose their jobs and then that's it. They just sit on their couch forever. The real danger here is not that new markets won't arise in that situation. The problem and jobs with it. The problem is I think there's a real opportunity here. And I think this is going to be the fight of the next election potentially, presidential election. And going forward next 10, 20 years, this is going to be a huge issue.
Starting point is 01:39:14 Democrats are going to have the opportunity when the AI revolution truly goes into full force. They are going to have the opportunity like they've never had before to say, you know what, we'll take care of you. Don't worry about it. We're just going to take all of the corporate money and all of the rich people. money and we're going to print trillions of dollars more and you can sit on your couch forever and we'll just pay you because this whole system is rigged and it's unfair and you don't have a job anymore because of AI and there's nothing you can do you can't compete with AI. Yes.
Starting point is 01:39:42 AI is smarter than you. You have no hope. I think that is coming and it's going to be really hard for free market people to fight back against that. Well, I tend to agree with you because the, you know, I thought about this. I war game this probably 2006. And I'm thinking, okay, if the tech is going to grow and grow and grow and grow, and they're going to start, they'll be responsible for taking the jobs. They won't be real popular. So they're going to need some people that will allow them to stay in business
Starting point is 01:40:18 and to protect them. So they're going to need to be in with the politicians. And if the politicians are overseeing the decrease of jobs, they're going to need. the PR arm of things like social media and what it can be done, what can be done now. I was thinking at the time, like what Google can do. But they need each other.
Starting point is 01:40:45 They must have one another. And unless we have a stronger foundation and a very clear direction. And I will tell you, the president disagrees with me on this. I said he's going to be remembered as the transformational AI president. And he said, I think you're wrong on that. And I don't think I am. This time period is going to be remembered for transformation. And he is transforming the world.
Starting point is 01:41:18 But the one that will make the lasting difference will be power and AI. Agree with that or disagree? 1,000%. This is by far the most important thing that's happening in his administration in the long run. if you're projecting out 10, 20, 30 years, they will be talking about this moment in history a thousand years from now. Yeah, they will.
Starting point is 01:41:40 Like, that will happen. And they will, and if America becomes the epicenter of this new technology, they will be talking about of a thousand years from now, about how Americans were the ones that, that really developed this, that they're the ones that promoted it, that they're the ones that took advantage of it.
Starting point is 01:41:55 That's why this AI race with China is so important that we win it. It's one of the reasons why. And I do think it's a defining moment for us, presence. Of course, the problem with all this is AI could kill us all. And so, you know, you have to weigh that in. Yeah, right. Right. Well, we hope you're wrong on that one. And I'm wrong on it as well.

And it just gives you a really good show material. Right. What? Whose side are you on here? Whose side are you on? Let me see. Some of the other things that we might have missed. By the way, I just can't say this enough, PBS and NPR. it's the House vote away.
Starting point is 01:44:45 It passed in the Senate. It's got to pass in the House, right? I mean, that's so easy. I would think so. I would think so. It's easy in the House. It passed in the Senate. No more NPR or PBS.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Now, millions of children are going to die because of it. Oh, sure. But what do we care? We don't like children. Jeez. You know that's coming. I mean, what are they going to say? I mean, they're going to say.
Starting point is 01:45:11 I mean, they're going to kill. I mean, how do they make the case every time that you're going to kill Big Bird? And you notice, they didn't say that this time. It's almost been like, I think he's overwhelming the system. They're so busy, you know, stomping snakes with their one good foot that they're like, I don't, I can't stop on this many snakes. I mean, it is crazy. They usually say, you're going to kill Big Bird.
Starting point is 01:45:36 No, no, no. Elmo will be able to tweet racist, Nazi things at any time he wants, okay? Because they got the plush toys and they're going to be fine. And they make a fortune from those. Make a fortune. Absolute fortune. It's a crime that we have paid for it all these years. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:56 And because it's been that way for decades. Decades. Decades. I don't know how they've perpetrated this scam continuously. I guess it's just because we don't pay attention. and we listen to the, well, your children are going to suffer thing too often. And too many people buy into that. Well, they're going to say, well, they have to do it, you know, and be able to produce,
Starting point is 01:46:18 to be able to produce that, they're going to have to have commercials. Do you know how much the children's workshop makes, the children's television workshop? You know how much, just think, how much money do you think they've made on just Elmo toys? Just on Elmo toys. They could buy full hours of. broadcast time and not have any commercials. Because all the kids will want an Elmo toy. Even if they do have to go to commercials.
Starting point is 01:46:44 So what? Well, that's indoctrine. That's indoctrination. That's evil. Yeah, it's evil indoctrination of your kids. It's more evil than the indoctrination they're already doing to our kids. Is that? No.
Starting point is 01:46:56 No. I'd rather actually have them in front of the TV with that indoctrination than in front of their teacher with the indoctrination that's going on there. But maybe that's it. just me. All right. More in just a second. Stand by. This is Glenn Beck. Of course you're in pain. I mean, look at you. Look at you. You're a human being. You spend half your life sleeping in weird positions, the other half lifting things you shouldn't.

Starting point is 01:48:00 Of course your back sounds like a bag of gravel every time you try to stand up. It's not a mystery. This is just life as you get older.

Starting point is 01:49:18 I may have spoken too soon. Senator Tammy Duckworth, which is just a stupid name, change it. But Sammy Duckworth writes in, please, this isn't about saving money. This is a tweet. Republicans just exploded the debt by at least $4 trillion to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Oh my God. Defunding Big Bird and Elmo isn't going to fix that mess, nor will defunding programs that feed starving children. she did both of them in one tweet
Starting point is 01:49:51 one tweet you're killing big bird in Elmo and starving children I love it I love it Jady Decker is with us he is the head now of the American Journey Experience
Starting point is 01:50:04 which is part of M1 you are actually the executive director of all of it I'm one of the exact freshers yeah well welcome to the program thank you it's good to be here again so you actually didn't you used to work at a PBS I did I did in Oklahoma
Starting point is 01:50:17 and that was kind of my entrance, you know, after film school, worked at a PBS. What a waste of money that was, right? Yeah, but yeah, interned at PBS, and they had no clue what my thoughts were on literally anything. They would go off on, let's see, who was president at the time? I don't even remember, but they would go off with anything conservative, obviously. They went off on this guy named Glenn Beck and how horrible he is. And then my last day of the internship, they said, wow, where are you headed?
Starting point is 01:50:45 And I said, actually, I'm going to go work for Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck. That was popular. Oh, yeah. They had no clue. And they said, how could you work for that, man? And I said, I don't know how I made it here. So, you know, I love these stories. Another guy who works here, Alexander, he is in charge of art direction. I've been here for a long time. He came down because I heard about his story that he was in a college art class. And they were going around. saying, you know, what do you want to do with your degree, et cetera, et cetera. And he said, I want to work for Glenn Beck. And the guy berated him on how stupid he was and what a stupid idea that is. And then how you'll never work for him. And I heard, I don't remember how, but I heard about this story. And so I invited him down for a job interview.
Starting point is 01:51:42 And I'm not sure if he, he may have been an intern to start. I'm not sure. but he's now the creative director. I mean, he is... He's amazing. Unstoppable. And I was so happy. He went back home and he said to the professor in class,
Starting point is 01:51:59 hey, by the way, I just got a job with Glenn Beck. Nothing. Nothing. That's great. Fantastic. Hey, we're doing something that I announced with the Ten Commandments last hour. In a nutshell, will you just recap? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:14 So, you know, Texas and Arkansas, they passed. that you would now be able to put the Ten Commandments in every classroom. And just so you know, there's 384,000 classrooms between Texas and Arkansas. And so we partnered with Million Voices, Wall Builders, Pro Family Legislators Network, Patriot Mobile stepped into help. And honestly, this was kind of cool because there's about 12 other, there's about a dozen of us that gathered together and said, okay, it can't have our logo on it, can't have any of those things.
Starting point is 01:52:43 All we want to do is get the Ten Commandments back in schools. because it was in the schools for 150 years. Right. In every classroom. In every classroom. And the fact that that, I mean, that's history and tradition. That's why it belongs back in school. And so, yeah, if you go to Restoreamerican Schools.com, then you can sign up and for $30,
Starting point is 01:53:04 which all of it goes to buy those posters, ship those posters to you, and then you can take it to your school. And you can sign up, put your address in. I'm doing mine. $30 per? I thought they were a dollar. Well, it's a dollar per poster. but you can adopt a school, which average is about 30 classrooms in a school. Okay.
Starting point is 01:53:20 And so that way it's a little easier, but it's just such a cool action step and a cool opportunity. And it has to be posted in the classroom? It has to be posted. It is law. Wait, in the classroom? In the classroom. Oh, my gosh. And thanks to Huckabee and Abbott, because they both, both governors were willing to do what many others, it is a fight to try to say, hey, this is history and tradition.
Starting point is 01:53:41 How many states are we in this fight with right now? There's a lot of, I don't know, I'll have to find out, but there's quite a few other ones that we're working on. Yeah, good. Yeah. But yeah, you know, David Tim and our team, Elijah, they all went and testified in these states to show the history and tradition, to show what was in those books. Because people have no idea. No clue. They have absolutely no idea.
Starting point is 01:54:03 And if you missed it in our two of today's podcast, go back and listen, because I took the Ten Commandments and I showed you, forget about God. Just look at these for civilizational. survival. Why are these 10 things critical for civilization? And if you just look at it that way, forget about God. You cannot repair the republic. You cannot have a free civilization without the 10 commandments. What's crazy is some of the debates that were happening within each state house. Some of the rebuttals to what we were saying were, well, yeah, but we really shouldn't be talking about, you know, death and some of these things in schools. And you're kind of thinking to yourself, what else, what is being taught in schools right now?
Starting point is 01:54:51 You're talking about cutting his penis off. We can't talk about don't murder someone. That's a more appropriate conversation. And to give you kind of a hint of what's being taught even in, you know, Washington, D.C. We've got volunteers everywhere, you know, that are obviously at, you know, the, what, where the Constitution Declaration are at. National Archives. National Archives. And so we took about 50 state legislators from all around the country
Starting point is 01:55:16 with David and Tim Barton, and we went to the National Archives. And obviously, David gave us a heads up. You know, the Ten Commandments is right there. And so we're standing in line, waiting for the volunteer to give us direction because it's really difficult to walk up some steps and go look at something. So you're under the retunda. Under the retunda. Just haven't walked up to the gates. And one of the staff from Wall Builders obviously asked the great question of, isn't this the Ten Commandments right here? this emblem that we're standing on.
Starting point is 01:55:45 And the volunteer gets pretty upset and says that is not the Ten Commandments. That is the law. But if I remember right, somebody looked this up. If I remember right, the seal has two tablets, right, with just Roman numerals one through ten. Yeah. But they said it's just a representation of the law. Yeah, God's law. Yeah, God's law.
Starting point is 01:56:07 But not even that. Are you against murder? Well, it actually talks about murder in this. It's just the fact that we're standing on it, and they don't even point it out in their little presentation of, hey, make sure you walk up in or don't take flash photography. There's so much more to be taught in this country. And that's what American Journey experience is doing. I mean, we've got, you were able to speak to the kids yesterday, 18 and 25-year-olds.
Starting point is 01:56:29 They're great. And they're like 25 kids are coming to learn. Hungry. So hungry. Hungry. Out of college. Some of them just graduated from college. And they're like, I don't know anything.
Starting point is 01:56:39 Right. I don't know anything. Yeah. And they're amazed by. one, our collection that we actually have the proof to show, you know, not just God's providence through American history, but also that our founders aren't all that bad. When you talk about, you know, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson nowadays, somebody's finding something wrong with every one of them. Well, I'd like to put the mirror
Starting point is 01:57:00 up to them and say, you're not perfect either. And so, you know, when you look at these founders, are they imperfect men? Yeah, they were. But all of us are. Look what they did, though. They changed our nation. They changed the world by saying, I'm going to, going to stand up and do something. And so that's why like this Ten Commandments project is so important because we actually have an action step, stand up and do something for your local school. Do you know how crazy it is going to drive teachers that they have to have the Ten Commandments in their school? Even in Texas and in, where is it, Arkansas? Texas and Arkansas. I mean, that's going to drive them out of their ever-loving minds. Yeah. Yep. I mean, to have the Ten Commandments up there,
Starting point is 01:57:41 And, you know, I can't wait until kids start asking questions. Hey, what's that? Why is that on the wall? And you got to explain it. There's no other way to teach on Ten Commandments other than saying, well, this is a law of the land. I mean, you saw it talked about it in the second hour about how important it is. I mean, you see it at the Supreme Court. You see it everywhere.
Starting point is 01:57:59 They are looking, when the Supreme Court is in session, and they're sitting and they're facing the attorneys who are arguing the case, if they just look up about 30 degrees, it's a giant. Moses with the Ten Commandments. I mean, it's clear this is what our laws were based on. And same in the House. You see Moses's face right up at the top. Whenever you see the president, they never show this. Whenever you see the president give his, you know,
Starting point is 01:58:27 address, his, you know, state of the union address, if the camera would just move up maybe 10 degrees higher, you'd see Moses right above it. It's so ironic. When you're sitting there and you're listening, to the president and you're sitting in the gallery where you are eye to eye with Moses and you have to look down for the president. It is so unbelievable that you're like, yeah, God had nothing
Starting point is 01:58:53 to do with this place. I'll tell you that right now. And that's why you've even pointed out, you know, the history and tradition of it all. It's just history and tradition. We're not asking for anything else. Just go back to what was great in our country beforehand. Let's just teach, I don't know, teach American history how it's supposed to be taught. It's amazing. Okay. Where do people go again. Restore American Schools.com. We are doing stuff. You're doing stuff with my new project called The Torch, which I think you're fully read in on.
Starting point is 01:59:20 How excited are you? Very excited. And you've been with me for a long, long time. This one is, I think, game-changing. And we're really, really excited. But we're going to be doing a lot of stuff with Mercury One and the American Journey experience. Next year is going to be fun, my friend. Yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:59:38 So join us. If you'd like to get the Ten Commandments, please, all you have to do is go to restore American schools.com. That's restore American schools. Dot com. Did you think? Thank you. Thank you.

The process with Smithsonian is crazy. Yeah. And I don't think he knows that. No, I don't think a lot of people up there know it. Yeah, somebody should tell him.
