We're going through a period of insanity, and I want to bring some sanity to America here. I think I have to start with our national forests and the fire that happened yesterday in Coeur d'Alene. We begin there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

You know why I stay at my ranch part of the year is because it is so freaking hot in Dallas, Texas. I can't take it. Anyway, imagine sitting inside of an Iranian nuclear facility about to say about a week ago. It's that kind of hot in Texas. You open up the front door and you immediately start regretting all of the life choices that led you there.

But it doesn't let up when the sun goes down either. In Texas, we have something called midnight sauna, which is where you lay in bed motionless at 2 a.m., sweating like a secretary of state in front of Congress. Thank God for cozier sheets. These sheets are temperature regulating, breathable, and so incredibly comfortable, you'll be sleeping like a pizza in a brick oven. Stop torturing yourself.

Some severe discomfort today in my back. And let's just say on the bottle it said, do not operate heavy machinery. I've never tried to lift a transmitter before, let alone about 450 of them. So I don't know if that's heavy machinery or not. I was supposed to go cut the hay today. That one, I'm going to skip. This one, just bear with me, if you will. I want to take you into the woods.

Let's start here. Coeur d'Alene. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It is one of the most peaceful and serene and beautiful places in America. You're there in Coeur d'Alene. You're a firefighter. You've trained your whole life, not for glory, not for pay, but you've trained your whole life to save forest and to save lives. And it is a hot, bone-dry summer afternoon on Canfield Mountain.

And there's a brush fire and it's starting to lick up through the timber. You and your brothers have been called in not to fight men, not to fight monsters. You're fighting a fire and you're going to get there in time this time. But you don't realize it's a trap hidden in the trees under the cover of smoke and heat was a monster, was a man, a sniper, one man, one gun, one agenda to kill you.

and as many of your brothers as he possibly can. He starts firing. A bullet hits its mark, then another. Two of your brothers are dead before they even know you're being hunted. A third clings to life, fighting for breath as the forest around him burns, and you call in this. Central BC- Central BC-5, Central BC-5. BC-5, I'll see you.

Why? What kind of madness? It's evil. That's all it is. It's just evil.

Evil doesn't always march in our big cities, carrying signs and flags of enemies, not of America, but of all mankind. This enemy wasn't posting slogans or chanting. This evil was crouching in the brush with a scope and matches. Sheriff Robert Norris, yesterday's voice cracking, shoulders heavy, called it for what it was, an ambush.

An intentional act of terror. He said, we believe the suspect started the fire. Think of that. He started a fire, a wildfire, to lure in firefighters. Men trained to help. Did nothing to him. Ever. Most likely, never, ever, ever. Maybe in a bar when they had exchanges. Why would you start a forest fire so you could kill firefighters? Not hurt them. Kill them.

This wasn't spontaneous. This wasn't madness. This was tactical. This is evil. Didn't take long. 300 law enforcement officers flooded the scene. SWAT scoured the mountains. Cell phone signals were tracked. Fire crews pulled back under the gunfire. It wasn't a backwoods skirmish. This was a full-fledged battlefield. I'm hoping that somebody has a...

a clear shot and is able to neutralize because they are not at this point in time showing any evidence of wanting to surrender. So as soon as somebody has a clear shot, I encourage them to take that shot and neutralize the threat. Well, eventually they found him on Canfield Mountain, rifle nearby. He was dead. Was that justice or was that just an ending?

We may never know why this guy, I mean, never understand what possessed him to become a predator of protectors. But we do know what happened. We do know firefighters were murdered while doing their duty. We do know today that evil lurks a little closer. Sometimes in our small towns, sometimes in our forests, sometimes in the very emergencies we're trained to respond to. And we know something else. Stuff like this didn't used to happen. Something's changed.

And this didn't have to happen. Is it possible we have grown too comfortable thinking violence only happens in the cities? Far away battlefields. You can't live in the mountain by a lake. Away from everything. You moved away from California to get away from madness. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho just got a wake-up call. Idaho just joined the club of heartbreak. So now...

We wait. We wait for answers. We wait for motives. We wait for someone to say, he was a lone wolf. We wait for one side to say, he was a right-wing extremist, and the other side to say, he was a left-wing extremist. And then one of his neighbors to say, you know, I always had a weird feeling. Should have seen this coming. But while we wait for all of that nonsense, now it's time to do what Americans always do. Clean up the mess.

come together, mourn, and rally. These men didn't die in war, but they died in service. They went up to a mountain to save lives, and they never came down. And that is not just a tragedy. That is sacrifice. I don't know their names yet. Nobody does. I'll be calling the Tunnel to Towers Foundation today once I find out the names, and I'm sure they're probably already on the phone. Make sure their families are taken care of.

When their names are released, let us speak those names in reverence for just a second. Let the killer's name vanish into ash. Let the fire of the American spirit burn brighter than the fire that took them. What happened yesterday was, it wasn't just news. It's a warning. Next issue on my plate in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. There's a whole lot of stuff we assume is...

Just part of getting older, like you're tired all the time, your knees ache, you feel, you know, when you wake up, you feel like you slept on concrete. The instant you mention, you know, any of it to somebody, what do they say? Welcome to your 50s. Shut up! You know, it's become a national pastime, treating pain and fatigue like it's some kind of inevitable rite of passage. You're not broken. You're just aging. But what if that's not true? What if a big part of what we call aging isn't age at all? It's inflammation.

Relief Factor was created to answer that question. What if we could fight the underlying inflammation and see what happens? It's not a drug. It's a daily natural supplement designed by doctors to support your body's response to inflammation. And for hundreds of thousands of people, the difference is night and day. Sometimes it's less pain. Sometimes it's more energy. Sometimes it's both. Wonder what else you've been accepting that you don't have to.

Give the three-week quick start a try right now. Their quick start trial bag is $19.95. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF. That's 800-4-RELIEF. 10 seconds station ID. I want to talk to you about the enemy being clear. Crystal clear. But I'm not sure to everybody.

I'm so sick and tired of us turning on each other. We saw it with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. I like both men. Can you stop? Thankfully, they did. You're seeing it with Trump's bombing of Iran, where you were either a Jew-loving Zionist or a raging anti-Semite. Or if you're me, both. And then there was something that really caught me off guard. The people who are turning on Utah Senator Mike Lee over a housing proposal. He's had this housing proposal since 2022.

But if you go on X, you're going to learn apparently Mike Lee, one of the most Constitution-loving conservatives I know, wants to sell off our national parks and our forests. You know, he was probably in Coeur d'Alene lighting the matches because he hates our forests so much. He wants to make sure you never get to hunt. All he wants to do is take away your fishing and your hunting rights and build cheap housing complexes, Amazon warehouses, and whatever China and BlackRock want.

You know, I addressed this a few weeks ago, invited Mike to clarify where he stands because some of my family are very concerned. You can find the segments on my YouTube channel. Go subscribe to my YouTube channel, will you please? But since then, apparently there's a crusade out to cancel Senator Lee. There have been a few major updates. So today, let me just take a look at just the facts here, where we stand on this right now. Over the weekend, Mike Lee decided to withdraw his federal land sale provision from the big beautiful bill.

He said, quote, while there has been a tremendous amount of misinformation and in some cases outright lies about my bill, many people brought forward sincere concerns because of the strict constraints of the budget reconciliation process. I was unable to secure clear, enforceable safeguards to guarantee these lands would never be sold only to American families, not to China, not to BlackRock.

and never to any foreign interests. Wow, what a shill for the globalists, right? Or maybe it's how our government should work. Members of Congress propose something, present it to the people, and then they listen to the community instead of just insisting, we have to pass it to know what's in it. And in here, this kind of outcry for that. Here's one of the bigger issues here. We're speaking two different languages.

A lot of criticism online is that Mike Lee wants to sell off our public lands. Our public lands. To a lot of Americans, those lands are the lands we use for recreation and hiking and hunting and fishing and things like that. That's not what he wanted to sell. And he promised to make that much clearer in the revised bill. Now let me remind you on the public lands. President Biden, under his administration, the federal government,

was ordered to conserve 30% of our lands and our waters by 2030. So apparently, our public lands are being gobbled up even more. That's another, I think, six percentage points. Another 6% of the entire land in the United States is going to be seized by the federal government by 2030, and it falls directly in line with the UN's 30 by 30 plan.

It's an initiative for governments to seize 30% of all land and water, and water, by 2030. Now, do you think the UN wants to give you more hunting and fishing land? Do you think they're all for that? Or do you think these radical environmentalists want to restrict your access in the name of fighting climate change? By the way, current...

Currently, the U.S. government owns 640 million acres of land. That's nearly a third of the country. So they've almost met that 30 by 30 goal, and they will meet it. And then what's next? The 50 by 50 U.N. goal. And in order to seize the rest of the land, there's the Sustains Act that passed. Do you know about this? I didn't hear any outcry about this. Where was the right on this one?

It was enacted in 2023. It allows the government to receive private funds to advance conservation programs. So BlackRock, if they wanted to, could buy up the conservation lands. Does your property contribute to pollination? Photosynthesis? The air we breathe? The water we drink? Well...

As I exposed on a show back in September, the Sustains Act allows all of that to be monetized through the relationship of private investors like Bill Gates and the government. And it occurs without the landowner's permission. So they can take your land or tell you exactly what you want to do, what they want you to do on that land, what you cannot do on that land, because photosynthesis happens. Where were you? Where were you on that?

This is the real seizing of American assets. This is the real seizing of American assets by the global corporations that you are all so afraid of. Mike Lee, oh my gosh. What about the Sustains Act?

In his revised bill, which he's still working on, Lee has promised to, quote, remove all Forest Service land. Good. Significantly reduce the amount of BLM land in the bill. Good. Only land within five miles of population centers is eligible. Yeah, but when he gets that, then he'll build buildings there and then he'll have another five. And next thing you know, he'll be putting a cap on old faithful land.

He'll establish freedom zones to ensure these lands benefit American families, protect our farmers, ranchers, recreational users. But there's still a lot of claims online. Whatever. Charlie Kirk said it right. The Democrats, this is their war on single-family housing. Hmm.

Do you remember when we talked on the program about the globalist plan of 15-minute cities that all of BlackRock and everybody else is for? Remember when BlackRock came in and just started buying up whole neighborhoods, just priced every regular citizen out of the neighborhood?

Why? Because it's part of the plan to pack the majority of humanity into easily controllable cities where everything you need is just 15 minutes away and you never need a car. But is that the American dream? Currently, rural land is getting so expensive, most Americans can't afford rural land. I know. I'm living in a place that has a population of 400 and I think it's 51. Might have had a baby, so maybe it's 452.

And nobody can afford it. How is it possible you're living in the middle of nowhere with a population of 451 people and you can't afford a house? The elites don't need Mike Lee's proposal to take more of your land. They're already doing that. But here's my biggest issue. This is not about Mike Lee's proposal. Okay? It's not. There is a much bigger issue. And I'll share that when I come back.

Whether you could refinance or restructure your debt, that's probably basically what you're doing right now. Look, managing your financial house can be really difficult and chaotic during the best of times. And I think you'll agree that these are not really the best of times. But American Financing is the company that looks at your entire financial house, the whole thing, and says, hey, maybe we can fix this.

Are you wallowing under high interest credit card debt? They can help. Is your mortgage interest rate too high? They can help. Stuck in a loan that's eating you alive? They can help. And they're not the bank. They're a family-owned mortgage company that works for you. They don't get commissions for putting you into any kind of loan. So they don't care. They just want to get the right thing for you.

They listen to you. They understand your goals, and then they help you. It's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net. Big changes are coming very soon, transforming history and how we learn about it. Keep track right now at GlennBeck.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So I was talking about federal lands. I want to get off that. I want to change to instead what the real problem here is, what the real problem is.

The real problem on the seizing of the federal lands is that we are so quick to turn on ourselves. We are so quick lately to turn on our allies. See, the issue isn't Mike Lee's proposal. It's how fast we turn on each other. If you believe Mike Lee's proposal didn't go far enough to safeguard our land from adversaries, great.

That's fine. And you know what? You won. He's revamping that. He listened. The government listened. Good. But can you say that without calling him a traitorous shill for the elites?

I mean, I don't know a traitorous shill for the elites that actually listens. Do you? Donald Trump Jr., he was against Mike Lee's plan. He thanked him over the weekend for pulling the proposal saying, quote, Mike is a great friend and we usually agree on almost everything, but this was a rare exemption of where we didn't. Hello? We don't need to hear people tear each other down. Who's our real enemy? Who is, who's more dangerous?

Can we go to, can we go, I don't have numbers on these, unfortunately. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Let's go to cut ten, please, on whiter neighborhoods.

and realize there's a policy proposal that says your plan, and I'm going to quote it for folks, is to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods. Explain why you are bringing race into your tax proposal.

That is just a description of what we see right now. It's not driven by race. It's more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being undertaxed versus overtaxed. We've seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable. It's one that actually Eric Adams ran on saying that he would change in the first hundred days. He's since sought to defend it and lost at every juncture in court.

And I understand you're saying we're simply describing the types of neighborhoods that would see these increase in taxes. And yet by invoking race, do you run the risk of potentially alienating key constituents? I think I'm just naming things as they are. And ultimately, my...

The thing that motivates me in this is to create a system of fairness. It is not to work backwards from an irracial assessment of neighborhoods or our city. Rather, it's to ensure that we actually have an equal playing field. And right now, what we see with the property tax system is one that is overtaxing a number of New Yorkers and undertaxing others and an inability of political will to resolve that. So no plans to change that language?

on your website. The focus here is to actually ensure a fair property tax system. And the use of that language is just an assessment of the neighborhood. Just want it to be fair. Just want it to be fair. Play the next cut. This is Mamdani, by the way, the candidate in New York that looks like he might win to become the next mayor of New York. Next cut. You are a self-described democratic socialist. You think that billionaires have a right to exist? Ha ha ha!

I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly it is so much money in a moment of such inequality and ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country and I look forward to work with everyone including billionaires to make a city that is fairer for all of them.

Wow, that is fantastic. We shouldn't have billionaires. Hmm. So how would we get there? What would be his ultimate goal? Listen, do you like capitalism? No, I have many critiques of capitalism. And I think ultimately the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is the words of Dr. King decades ago. He said, call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country.

And that's what I'm focused on is dignity and taking on income inequality. What the purpose is about this entire project, it's not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism. And obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that. But making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have at every which opportunity that they're given. We have to continue to elect more socialists and we have to ensure that

We are unapologetic about our socialism. There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, right, or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production where we do not have the same levels. Can you just say that again for me? Whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production. Let me ask you a question. Which is more dangerous to our country and our heritage?

Is it the senator that controversial maybe says 3% of federal land should be transferred back to the states? Or is it the politician standing at a podium declaring, you know, not in some offhanded gaffe, that he has a real problem with capitalism?

that he wants to tax white neighborhoods, that he wants to get rid of billionaires, and seize the means of production. Now, for those who studied history, I don't need to tell you why your blood has suddenly run cold.

seize the means of production. That's not economic theory. That is a revolutionary war cry. It always has been. It's the heart of Lenin, of Marx, of Mao, of Gulags, of five-year plans, of Food Line, total state control. It is the slogan whispered in the barracks of all of the camps printed on the walls of the Khmer Rouge torture cells. It's not American.

That's not a goal any of us should look for. But let's take down Elon Musk. Let's take down our FBI. Let's take down Mike Lee. Let's take down Tucker Carlson. Let's take down Ted Cruz. Because we don't have enough enemies. Rightfully, somebody on this program asked around this time on Friday, Glenn, why did you have Steve Bannon on? This is why I had Steve Bannon on.

We have enough enemies, don't we? Can we find people that we generally agree with, maybe 80%, even if that 20% is massive? I'm going to be friends with anybody for the times I can be friends with, and then I'm going to have to say, I part with you here. You're going to have to go on your own way, but when you come back to this, I'm with you. We are being our college campuses, the floor of our own legislative bodies, right?

As if it were another just regular day in paradise of America. You know, I want to talk about highway funding and seizing the means of production. Wait, what? Meanwhile, the man who says we should return a tiny sliver of public land, land that Washington hoards like a miser,

While local communities struggle to pay for schools and police. While you can't afford a house, that's an extremist, a radical, a threat. But this guy, I don't see anybody on the right really standing up against this guy. Where is the big movement against this guy? It's almost as if that whole federal lands thing was orchestrated. And so many of our side played right into it.

That man who says, let the states manage their own forests, their own minerals, their own resources. Just give us 3% of the land so we can actually have a tax base so we can build some houses there that people can afford. Let's make sure that the land is controlled by the people who are closest to that land. Let them be the stewards of it, not the bureaucrats 2,000 miles away who have never set foot in a pine thicket or a desert mesa.

Which vision is more in line with the Constitution? Which one is our bigger enemy here? Which one echoes Jefferson's belief in a government closest to the people? Which upholds the vision of the founders who feared centralized power more than foreign armies? Which one is calling for the seizing of the production? You know, not all ideas are morally equivalent. We're not dealing here with difference of opinion on tax rates or zoning codes, right?

One wants to give power back to the states. And you know what? People rose up and said, I don't like that idea. And so now that idea has to be changed or forfeited. Great. But where are the people standing up saying seizing the means of production? This guy wants to take control of your factory, your farm, your business, your labor. One believes in federalism. The other believes in collectivism.

One respects the individual as a moral agent of society, and the other sees the individual as a cog in the great machine of the state that's just going to make utopia. Because they always do, as you just can't see it because you're behind the barbed wire fence.

When somebody shrugs and says, you know, both sides are really pretty extreme. You know, it's time we say no, no, no. It's that kind of false equivalence that got us into this mess. That's how the frog stays in the pot as the water slowly boils. You know what? They're both really kind of extreme. No, they're not. No, they're not. If you believe in America is a place where rights are granted by God, not government.

where property is yours, it is sacred, the fruits of your labor belong to you, then we cannot pretend these are equal threats, because they're not. Because one man questions how much land the federal government should own. The other questions whether you should be allowed to own anything at all, if the government should not own everything. Which one's dangerous? Which one snuffs out your rights?

This is not about land. This is all about economics. It's about freedom, and history has already told us where these roads lead. One road leads to liberty. One road leads us to having a discussion and a debate without calling each other names and killing one another. The other road doesn't allow debate, and if you try to debate, you're disappeared or you're killed.

One leads in liberty, one ends in chains. What do you say? We have enough enemies. Why do we need to turn on ourselves? And do you think there's a possibility that the communist, the socialist, the anarchist, the Islamist will all band together to destabilize the Middle East, Europe, and

Come to America to destabilize that, to end the Western world. Do you think there's a chance you're being played? Because I do, and I refuse to be played. I'm not a moron, and neither are you. See, here's the thing. This is why when Ben Shapiro says, facts don't care about your feelings.

This is why that's so important because they've hit an emotional spot with you. They've hit a spot of they're going to take my right away to fish or to hunt. And that's not what he was doing, but that's what it turned out to be. Our sacred public lands. That's not what he was talking about. And if it was, he's not talking about it now. He wants to make it very, very clear exactly what he was talking about.

But see, the idea of going hunting and fishing and hiking and these glorious places, we all love that. I mean, I don't like to actually. Well, I like to hunt. I don't like to fish. And I don't like to be outside, really. But I love the lands. I love to be in an air-conditioned car driving through Yellowstone going, wow, look at that. And look at that moron getting out of their car trying to feed the buffalo. This is going to be fun to watch.

Why are we so emotional about that when it's not really what the argument was about? And it's coming from one of our friends where we should have listened more and had a conversation. And we're not emotional about someone who says the end goal is to seize production. Seize the means of production. That's Karl Marx. Why is that one not emotional for us? Why is it we cannot see the actual enemy? Back in a minute.

Ever notice how certain things in your house just stay broken? That drawer that doesn't quite close, the doorknob that spins forever, the old blinds in that living room that look like they've been through a wind tunnel at NASA.

Every time you walk past one of those things, you think, I got to fix that. And then you immediately move on with your life because who on earth wants to shop for window treatments? Who on earth has time to fix all this stuff? It feels like some kind of cruel design puzzle. You need a tape measure and an architectural degree, three weeks to wait for shipping and a therapist when they arrive and don't fit unless...

It's blinds.com that you use. They've changed everything. Everything that's annoying about blind, you know, curtain, shade, shutters, drapes, whatever, online, they've fixed it. You get expert help, tons of options, actually look good, and they'll walk you through the measuring and the installation. I learned something about a tape measure I didn't have any idea.

Maybe someday I'll do a special on what I learned from blinds.com, but they told me something. I've seen this on a tape measure a million times and I'm like, wait a minute. That's what that is.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Jason Buttrell is sitting in for Stu, who returns tomorrow. And then I am off on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the holiday. Jason, what is the big story that you're seeing today that concerns you?

Well, this Mamdani stuff really, really pisses me off. That was probably one of the... I mean, how have we not learned a single thing from the progressive era till now that enabled us to get someone like Mamdani in? It's just amazing to me. You know, I don't think it's that we haven't learned. We have been conned. Our education system, you know, when you live in America and you've just hired or you've just voted for a communist...

Who needs to go on to Google and Google the word communist to know what it means? That's not how have we not learned. That's how has this education system failed us and created this situation.

Hey, I want to talk to you about Ammo Squared. You know, there are good deals and then, you know, there are sit up straight and recheck that website kind of deal. Ammo Squared is in the second category. Imagine a world where your ammo supply just grows automatically.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So we've got a guy in New York that wants to be the mayor of New York, and it's phenomenal what he's proposing. He said the end goal is to seize the means of production. That's communism.

And, you know, unfortunately, maybe many in America should look that up because they don't know what it means. Let's just say communism isn't neat. It isn't fun. It's a bloodbath. And it ends that way every single time. But why doesn't anybody care about this? Last hour I was talking about how, you know, we have real enemies. We have actual enemies. We have a guy who set the forest on fire and then just he did it just so he could shoot firemen over the weekend.

We have people on the streets in Los Angeles. We have Jews being killed in New York and Washington, D.C. We have a CEO being gunned down in the street just because he worked for a health insurance company. We have Islamists all over the country. Another 2,800 Islamists were picked up by the FBI over the weekend.

2,800 now have been arrested because they had ties to Islamist terrorists. Terror. Terror. I don't know. We have real enemies. Why are we not paying attention to those? Why instead are we turning on each other? Liz Wheeler is here. She was really good last week on why... Let me just read this. Let me give you what she said on her tweet.

Zoran didn't win because he's young and charismatic or relates to people's grievances or ran a good campaign. No, the real reason is way more terrifying.

The Muslim Marxist nutcase won because of two words. Indoctrinated kids. Liz Wheeler joins me in 60 seconds. First, you might have started to notice, you know, an odd new habit that is forming. Every time you pay your cell phone bill, your fingers, you know, come up to your face and automatically you plug your nose. You might have a problem. You're like, how am I going to do it?

Your brain is telling you the money you're shelling out. Yeah, part of it is going to fund leftist causes that go to destroy America from the ground up. You've got to get away from these big mobile companies. You're going to get better service. You're going to pay less money for it. And Patriot Mobile is different. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

They're on the same network with the same coverage, the same 5G speed, but they donate a portion of every dollar to causes you actually believe in. Pro-life organizations, veterans, first responders, religious liberty. It's the only cell phone company you don't have to hold your nose while paying the bill. You get great service. What you support matters. Stop funding your own destruction and the destruction of the values that you hold dear.

You don't have to do it anymore. Patriot Mobile is there. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT, 972-PATRIOT or PatriotMobile.com slash Beck. Liz Wheeler, welcome to the program. How are you, Liz? Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me.

You bet. You know, I just said a few minutes ago something very similar to what you said last week, and I thought, oh my gosh. Liz said, and I looked it up, and I want you to take the audience through, because you're absolutely right. He didn't win because he's charismatic or young or anything. He won because of indoctrination that's happening to our kids. Explain.

Yeah, that's exactly right. I've been seeing a lot of tapes from conservative thought leaders and commentators talking about what a good, clever campaign Zohran Mamdani ran, and I disagree with that take. I don't think that he did anything out of the ordinary or special. I don't think he's particularly charismatic. Sure, he's young, but a lot of politicians are young. I think that they're missing a really, really important point,

And that point is journey back with me 10 years ago when I was hosting a top rated cable news show, I had a recurring weekly segment every Friday afternoon called campus madness. And every week I,

we would unpack the grisly stories of the conservative students that faced terrible discrimination on their college campuses because they were conservative. You know, they had their grades docked, their free speech infringed, professors humiliated them, student body denying them funding, et cetera, et cetera. And the point of that segment was to expose this, you know, this rampant abuse of conservatives. But Glenn, to be honest,

in hindsight, we really missed the point with that segment. Like sure, it's very bad that conservative students were facing discrimination. That's real, it's unjust, but what's actually worse

is the students who came to college either apolitical or just very lightly liberal, not really woke. Those students, of course, did not face discrimination, obviously, because they weren't dissenting from the leftist professors, but also because they are the real target of liberal universities and colleges. They are vulnerable to brainwashing because they were already lightly liberal and

And so by the time they left campus four or five, six years later, they had been hardened into committed Marxists, like true revolutionaries, thanks to the anti-American, anti-white, anti-God, anti-humanity, really, indoctrination that was drummed into them by their institutions. And you'll

You'll probably remember this. There was this sort of joke at the time back when I was in college, like, oh, wait until these silly millennials get to the real world and they'll see what's what. You know, as if they see the light. But that is not what happened. It was actually the opposite. Indoctrinated millennials actually exported their radical beliefs from the college campus to the real world, which resulted. I mean, part of it, that's the woke of our culture.

So, understanding all that, go back to New York City for a second and to this nutty Muslim Marxist who just won the Democrat primary for mayor, and it really is a matter of a simple math equation. So, follow along for just a second here. There are 5.1 million registered voters in New York City.

750 to 850,000 of those are Gen Z, between 18 and 29. An additional 1.6 to 1.8 million are between 30 and 49. So that means roughly half of registered voters in New York City are what I call indoctrinated kids. These kids that went to college campuses, lightly liberal or apolitical, and left campus completely uneducated.

um, committed Marxist by that experience. And so when we look at what happened with this, though, Ron mom, Donnie, this guy who's openly communist, openly Marxist, openly anti-capitalist, openly anti-American, he didn't win in spite of that. He didn't win because he ran a good campaign and people overlooked that he won because of that. He won.

He won because of the two and a half million indoctrinated kids who are registered New York City voters. One million of those are college graduates, which means that 20 percent of the voting electorate in New York City are these indoctrinated kids who actually believe, because that's what they were taught in colleges and universities, that Marxism is what we should be striving for in our country, that Marxism is moral, that it's good, that it's fair, that it's justice.

And honestly, if you look at Zoran Mamdani through that lens, his victory in this primary is even more terrifying than an accidental vote for a socialist who tried to hide their socialist views. I have to tell you, I think that is absolutely 100% right. Now, what does that mean outside of New York for 2028, 2030, 2032?

Well, it means that there are a couple of things we need to do. There are governmental actions that we can take and should take to prevent this indoctrination from reaching the next generation of voters.

It's a little bit hard, to be frank, to undo the indoctrination of millennials. That's kind of a done deal. And the opportunity cost of trying to convert them may not be worth it compared to how effective it is to prevent Gen Z and then the younger generation, Gen Alpha, from being indoctrinated. So to be perfectly honest,

clear, President Trump can take action today if he wants. The Department of Education can take action and they can deny funding to all colleges and universities, including private institutions that teach any kind of anti-American or pro-communist propaganda to their students. They can, even private institutions, remember, take federally subsidized student loans and accept research grants. All the laboratories at universities are

That's not private money. That's coming from the government. All of that. And that's their meal train, by the way. Universities don't exist because of the tuition of students. They exist because government gives them money for, quote unquote, research grants. All of that can be cut with an executive order from President Trump or through the Department of Education. And believe me, the indoctrination would have to stop because these universities would otherwise be forced to shut down.

One that can also happen at the state level. Republican governors in red states and in red states, the departments of education can likewise scrutinize their colleges and universities for anti-Americanism and they can stop the meal train going to these universities

to prevent the indoctrination of the next generation of our children. Otherwise, this isn't just going to be an isolated incident in New York city that we can kind of dismiss because it's like, Oh, California and New York, they're anomalies compared to the rest of the world. This is,

is going to happen in our states, in our cities, in our neighborhoods once millennials and to a certain extent Gen Z become the primary voting demographic. Once the boomers age out of voting, we are going to be left with kids. And even though they're not kids in age, they were indoctrinated as kids.

That's why I call them indoctrinated kids. We are going to be left with these indoctrinated kids who are dictating policy in our country, who have been taught since they were yay high that communism is good. Liz Wheeler, thank you. Really clear. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. And thanks for just jumping on the phone with me. I called her in the break and I'm like, hey, can you jump on? I want to talk about this tweet. Great job. Thank you, Liz. Appreciate it.

I want to play some audio here. And Jason, can you take us through the audio of Mondani and what he has said, especially over the weekend, all the way to seizing the means of production? That's right out of the Communist Manifesto. And he is serious, and especially when you hear it in context. So where do we start here, Jason, on this?

You want to start with what he was, I guess, before you get into just straight up talking about seizing the means of production, he said, what was it on CNN where he's talking about whether there actually needs to be billionaires or not? Crazy. Here we go. You are a self-described democratic socialist. You think that billionaires have a right to exist? Yeah.

I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly it is so much money in a moment of such inequality and ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country and I look forward to work with everyone including billionaires to make a city that is fairer for all of them. Including billionaires. I know a lot of billionaires who would like to work with him on that.

You know, could you take away my wealth? I would like that. Take away my incentive for doing extra things. That's essentially what he's saying. Just give it to me. Take it, take, just take yourself. Okay. And I know everything's a billion dollars is a billion dollars. And it is, I can't imagine what it's like to have a billion dollars, uh,

I can't imagine what it's like to be multiple billionaire. But name the billionaires that we have outside of George Soros. What have they done? You know, you think of as much as I dislike Bezos, especially over the weekend, just grotesque. But look what he's built. Amazon, look at how that has affected your life. What about Elon Musk? Look how that has affected your life, how it has changed the world.

You want to go and seize that because now let me just say, I know they're a billionaire. They won't even notice. Yes, they actually will. When you take somebody's incentive away, unless you do it by choice, unless you're like, I don't, I don't want anymore. I don't need anymore. And that's, I guess, noble and great if that's what you choose. But if you take it away, you,

A lot of people will say, well, I'm not working. If I said to you, you know what? You can only make $100,000. You can only make $100,000. Everything you make over $100,000 all goes to the government. Are you going to do any work over $100,000?

You didn't do anything? Why would you invent something? Why would you work? Why would you risk anything if you couldn't get a big reward at the end? It's just the way humans are wired, and that's the biggest problem with communism, is it completely ignores all human nature. Oh, we're all going to put our money down on a pile, and we're only going to take what we need. We're only going to take what we need.

And nobody's going to take too much. And nobody's going to start stealing. Nobody's going to start gobbling up power. Nobody's going to kill anybody because they want all of the power. That's what happens every single time because you ignore human nature. The reason why our Constitution has lasted so long is because of the checks and balances. Do you know why it's failing now?

Because the checks and balances assumed that humans would be greedy for their power. They didn't realize that Congress at some point would go, you know what? We can stay powerful by giving our power away.

to the state, to the administrative state. We'll just give our power away. Let them make all the decisions. See, they thought the Congress would want to keep that power to make all the decisions, but it only took 200 years before they realized, wait a minute,

I can't get the blame, and I can always get reelected saying, I'm going to fix it. Well, fix it how? Well, this nameless bureaucrat over here is making all the decisions, not me, so don't blame me, but I'm going to fix that, and they never do. The checks and balances. The checks and balances of communism? Yeah, they don't work. They don't work. Never have, never will. All right, next cut.

uh the uh many critiques of capitalism that he has in a cnn interview do you like capitalism

No, I have many critiques of capitalism. And I think ultimately the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is the words of Dr. King decades ago. He said, call it democracy, call it democratic socialism. There must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country. And that's what I'm focused on is dignity and taking on income inequality. Okay, dignity. Yeah.

Now they like Dr. Martin Luther King again. He's back in style. But does anybody remember what was the what was Joe the plumber? Right. Remember Joe the plumber? He what was the question he asked? And Barack Obama said, I just think there's a redistribution of wealth. Can you see if you can find the Joe the plumber clip, Sarah?

I'm trying to remember exactly what he said, but he said exactly the same thing as he's saying, but he immediately tried to couch it and take it back, and they tried to deny it for years and years and years after. That's not what he said. He's not a Marxist. He's not for redistribution of wealth. And we were like, yeah, he is. Notice the mask has come off. This candidate doesn't have to play footsie with the truth. He's just telling you exactly what he's going to do.

Now, last cut. Seize the means of production. I can't believe a politician in America that is, I think, about to be the mayor of New York has said this out loud and means it.

What the purpose is about this entire project, it's not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism. And obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that. But making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they are given. We have to continue to elect more socialists and we have to ensure that

We are unapologetic about our socialism. There are also other issues that we firmly believe in. Okay, when we come back, I'm going to show you how to fix this. And I'm going to show you history shows us the way. And I'll explain when we come back. This is Glenn Beck.

So what is the solution? What is the solution that we need to grab onto? Yesterday I was driving to church and it was beautiful outside and had the windows down and was just thinking about the trouble that our country is in and how we need God. And, you know, I was thanking him for saving us so far.

but we're going to need to save ourselves here pretty soon because, you know, he's leaving this up to us. We have to play our role. And as I was singing about this and I got to church and I don't remember what somebody said, but something unrelated just triggered this brainstorm in me. I know what the solution is because I know all we have to do is reverse engineer what here, let me, let me, let me take you back to 1917 Bolsheviks, Russia, they come to power and,

What do they do? What's the first thing they do? They burn the churches, the priests, they throw them in prison. The Orthodox Church, a pillar of Russian life, systematically gutted from the inside. Because Lenin said religion is spiritual booze, a poison to the revolutionary mind. Okay?

What happened in China when Mao came to power? During the Cultural Revolution, children were taught to turn on their own parents if they were caught praying or reading scripture. Bibles were banned. Then they went after the teachers. They were humiliated, beaten in the streets by their own students. Over 400,000 teachers died.

were struggled against, struggled against many to death because they taught ideas older than the party. North Korea, if you're caught with a Bible today, you get three generations of your family imprisoned. In China, pastors are jailed, crosses torn down, sermons rewritten by the state. It's Orwellian, but it's real. Why?

This is what we have to remember, what we have forgotten. We have to remember. Tyrants understand what all of us have forgotten. Faith, true faith is resistance. Real education, actual education is rebellion. A child who knows the truth, not indoctrination, not to identify constructs, but truth, that child, that child can't be programmed.

A man who bends his knee to God does not bend his knee to the state, ever. And yet, what are we doing? What are we doing? We have replaced history with activism. We've replaced reading with reprogramming. For faith, it's mocked, it's censored, it's stripped from the public. We mock God in the public square. Prayer, once a cornerstone of our classroom, is now treated like contraband. Let me tell you, we've lost our schools.

We've lost many of our churches. And when that is complete, we lose the country. And not in a generation, not in a decade. We lose it immediately. And we are there. You know, I've been talking about the torch, something that I am starting on January 1. And I'm dedicating the rest of my career to those causes, faith and education, because those are the only two things that will save us. That's it.

If we don't recapture education, and I don't mean even in the schools. I don't know how long it's going to take. The Trump administration is doing a great job. We need to move faster on this. I think Liz was right on her proposals to Donald Trump. But we need to take control of education in our own homes and retake the education of faith in our own homes.

If we can learn critical thinking again, how many people know how to critically think? Not critical theory, critical thinking. If we fix our hearts by returning to faith, not fear, real tested personal faith, not moralistic slogans or Sunday-only performances, but things that actually change us as people, we save our country.

But without those two things, I mean, that's the reason why Mao and everybody else takes those two things down. Think of this. They had culture back in the 1960s. They had it. They didn't have the power of the state, which they almost had completely. And if, God forbid, we lose in 2028, it's coming back with a vengeance. But they didn't have power of the state, but they also didn't have our schools. They didn't have...

They didn't have our churches. So they have worked since the 1960s to get those two things under their control. And look at what's happening in New York. Liz Wheeler is right. She just said it wasn't a good campaign that he run. It was indoctrination that got him the nomination to be the mayoral candidate. He's a communist. And what did we find out? The next morning, Google said the most searched item in the New York City area that night was, what is communism?

So we have to choose right now, and we have to dedicate ourselves as individuals. You can raise thinkers, or you can raise followers. And look at what all of our social media. Look at that. You have followers. I don't want followers. I want thinkers. All of our social media. How many followers do you have? How pathetic is that? How weird is that? How many followers do I have? What am I, Jesus?

How many thinkers do I have? You can raise thinkers or you can raise followers. You can raise a generation who worships the truth or one that bows to the state, but you cannot have both. So what is it that you are building? What is it that you're building in your own life? What is it that your children? I mean, look, I got to tell you, I white knuckle raising my family every day. It is amazing.

Oh, gosh, thank God my kids. One of them is 19 next April. She'll be out of her teenage years. Teenage years now are like, I write straight from hell. I don't know how to raise kids. I don't know how to do it. But strangely, somehow or another, I mean, my kids are no different than you and your kids. I mean, do your kids listen to you? Yeah, my kids don't listen to me either.

I've been collecting things for the preservation of American history, and I don't remember what it was. It might have been like the Enigma machine. I have an Enigma machine in the collection, which is the first. That was the beginning of the computer. That was the code that the Germans had that nobody could break. And so Alan Turing, the guy from the Turing test, which is it a computer or is it human?

He was the guy who broke that code and in by breaking it, he developed the first really first computer. And we're watching the movie about touring. What was that called? The Imitation Game. And we're watching the Imitation Game. And my son goes, Dad, that would be cool to have one of those. I'm like, son, put it on pause for a second.

Would you go into the other room and look onto one of the shelves? It's the bottom shelf. Can you just look what's on the bottom shelf? What? Just, I mean, because you've seen it a million times. You've actually carried it with me when I go to give speeches. You've seen it at the museum. It happens to be in the other room. You want to just go look at it. No way. We have one of those. My kids don't listen to me just like your kids don't listen. They don't listen. They don't listen.

But know this, somehow or another, my kids are, I mean, sure, lots of therapy is coming their way, but they're pretty decent kids and they get it. All we have to do is just try, just try to hold the line. Ask them questions, critical thinking. Teach them how to critically think. Just keep asking questions. That's

I am convinced that's how you get into heaven. Come to me like a child. What does that mean? I wet my bed. What does that mean? Come to me as a child. In my, that innocence and the nonstop questioning that a child, why, why? Well, that's grass. Why? I don't know why we call it grass, but it's green. Why is it green? I don't know. Sky is blue. Why is it blue? I don't know. Constant questioning. Our kids don't question.

They Google facts. They chat GPT. They're all of their thinking. They steal testimonies from somebody else. I mean, I did that when I was a kid too, but I realized later in life, you don't have a testimony. You don't know. If you don't know that God is real yourself, you got nothing.

You have to know he's real yourself. And that's the same thing with all of our history and all of our knowledge. You have to earn that history. You can't just read about it. You have to read about it and then go, is that right? And ponder it and even pray on it. And then start doing some homework on it. Start whatever it is that intrigues you. Pursue that line.

Because then that line that you've pursued, that becomes yours. That's yours and it can never be taken away from you. Teachers say all the time, kids take out your pens and papers because it's going to be on the test. There is no test in life. And I don't want you to memorize anything. I want you to make it yours. Education and faith. Without those two pillars, we can never save our country. And look at what they're doing to education and faith.

We must restore them in our own lives. All right, back in just a second. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation. I have to tell you, they are... I thought about them yesterday because I'm in Idaho and up in the northern part of the state, up in Coeur d'Alene, which is this beautiful place. There was a guy who set a fire. Now, we don't know why, but he set fires and then it was a trap. He...

He started a brush fire so the firemen would come so he could shoot them. The hell is all that about? How lost are we? Coeur d'Alene, Idaho? Yeah. So anyway, I was reading the story and I immediately yesterday thought of Tunnel to Towers because two have been killed and I think a third one is in critical condition. And I know Tunnel to Towers is going to be on the phone with these families, you know, maybe even today saying,

Your mom, your dad, whatever, your husband, your wife just was killed in the line of duty. We want to take care of your mortgage. We want to make sure you don't have to worry about that as you're burying your spouse, your dad. We don't want you to have to worry about how much more your life is going to change. That's what Tunnel to Towers does. Give to Tunnel to Towers, if you will. Become a part of the promise to never forget and to take care of

of the people who are taking care of us. Say thank you in a lasting and meaningful way. Show your support. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number two T, dot org. You want the truth unfiltered? Pull up a chair, my friend. You're in the right place. This is Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the program. We have the driver of the General Lee. I don't know if you saw this. Was that in Kentucky? Right? This town got together and they put a General Lee back together, which was an old charger. And they jumped it over a water fountain in the town square. I think 30,000 people showed up. It was amazing. It was amazing. I love small town America. I just love it.

we have the driver going to be on with us in just about half an hour from now. How big was that hemi in that thing, Jason? Do you know? Not on that one, but the original was a 440 Magnum V8. A 440. The Dodge Demon now, the SRT...

is 1,015 horsepower, 1,020 horsepower. That's crazy. That was 440 horsepower. That thing would have jumped two of those fountains, the new one. My gosh. It would have went to the moon, probably. Yeah. I could have thrown that car over the mountains if the coach would have just let me in.

Yeah, Uncle Rico. Anyway, just an amazing thing. And he was fine. I don't think the car was. The car looked like it fell apart. Yeah, it took a dive there. Yeah, but I mean, there was so much crazy stuff going on. I actually had a tear right then. It made everything okay. I did, didn't it? Wasn't it kind of a moment where you're like, oh...

I feel better about America. I feel better about America because here's a town that's just taking an old charger and jumping it over a fountain. Oh, that's the America I know and love. Oh, okay. Um,

Let's see. How much time do I have here, Sarah? Do I have enough time? I have one minute. I'm not going to have time. But you know what? I want to come back tomorrow and I want to talk to you some more about Mondami, Zoran Mondami, who is running for

the mayor in new york and if this guy's elected we're doomed but uh do you have a real quick clip of joe the plumber because it's the same guy he's the same guy as barack obama listen this plan is going to tax me more doesn't it it's not that i want to punish your success i just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they've got a chance at success too i think when you spread the wealth around spread the wealth i don't want to punish your success i don't want to punish you for having a baby

I mean, look, he actually had to couch words. Now, in today's political climate, you can just come out and say it. Yeah, I'm a democratic socialist and spread the wealth. And I think we should abolish all billionaires. We've got a great guest on with us in just a minute. We've had him on a long time ago, and I just love this guy.

He's got a great story to share. First, let me tell you about chapter. Imagine for a moment, your mom or dad's retiring. They're excited. You know, they've worked their whole lives. Now it's time to sign up for Medicare and they do what everybody does. You know, they just, they pick a plan. Some guy on the phone says, that's a great fit for you. Fast forward a few months and,

Now they're in trouble and they're in a plan they're locked into. A plan doesn't cover what they thought it did. The prescriptions aren't covered. The doctors aren't in their network. They're the ones they need. They're on the hook for thousands of dollars. And who's left to clean it up? You are.

Well, this is why Chapter exists. Chapter's founders went through the same nightmare with their own families, and they were all very successful Silicon Valley guys, and they were like, okay, this can't happen to families. This cannot happen to mom and dads all around the country. So they will help you find the best coverage. They're all salaried. They don't work for a specific insurance company, and they will navigate this with you and your mom and dad easily. Dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250, keyword chapter.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

You know, we've all heard the saying, freedom isn't free. It's been paid for in blood. But I, you know, I was thinking about that this weekend or last week. I was driving by something. It might have been a cemetery and the flags were all on it. And I thought of that phrase, freedom isn't free. And I thought, you know, but I don't think it's, I don't think that phrase means what I think we hope it means. Freedom wasn't free. It was paid for in blood. But

You know, the greatest generation bought their freedom with that blood and maybe the freedom for their kids. And now their grandkids and their great-grandkids are having to choose again. And hopefully it won't have to be chosen to fight for it in blood, but it very well might. Every generation has to choose freedom and fight for it in their own way and in their own time.

But there is a group of people that remember the price, the high price that was paid for their freedom. You're going to hear a story next that I had never heard before. And it is, I mean, the first time I heard it, I mean, you'll just cry like a little girl. I mean, it is. Why would you say a little girl? That is so sexist. Oh, get off my back. Um,

It's such a moving story. Robert Edsel is with us. He is the author of The Monuments Men. He did Rescuing Da Vinci, Saving Italy, and The Monuments Men, which is a great book. He was on with us, and I think somebody in our audience actually helped save one of those paintings and return it to the rightful owners after they were on the program. He has a new book out, Remember Us, and Wait Until You Hear This Story.

Fourth of July week, it is more than appropriate. We have Robert Edsel on. We'll do that in just a second. First, let me tell you about Legacy Box. The attic's a time capsule of things you didn't really even know you still owned. Wobbly lamp that you meant to fix, three boxes of Christmas lights that only half work, and a mysterious cord

that definitely goes to something important, but you just don't remember what it is. And then that one box, the heavy one, all taped up, all dusty, filled with your family's old videotapes, photos, film reels, everything. That box is different. That one's not clutter. That's a treasure chest that's aging in real time. And every summer, every summer heat wave, every winter freeze, every year that goes by, it becomes a little more brittle and it loses a little more clarity.

Legacy Box makes it easy to save what's inside before it takes it for good. Send in that box of old tapes and films and photos. They'll handle the best digitizing everything. They'll handle all of it for you so you can have it all back safely on a thumb drive or in the cloud and the originals are all coming back to you as well, ready to share with your family. Find that box that matters and let Legacy Box help you bring it back to life right now. And they're offering 50% off

So if your attic is, you know, full of family history, it's time. Go to LegacyBox.com slash Beck and claim 50% off. That's LegacyBox.com slash Beck. Preserve your legacy with Legacy Box. Robert, welcome back to the program. How are you, sir? I am great to talk to you.

It's great to talk to you. Can you remind me, you were on with us after Monuments Men, and you talked about this great service that is still going on where people that were still looking for paintings and pieces of art that had been taken by the Nazis. And if I remember right, didn't somebody in our own audience reach out to you and say, I think we found one of those paintings?

Yes, sir, absolutely. The Glenn Beck audience and Glenn Beck, you yourself deserve a lot of credit because I hadn't walked out of your studio last time, you know, in Dallas out at Las Colinas, headed back to our office, the Monuments Men and Women Foundation office before someone in my office contacted me and said, we've already had a lead as a result of your interview with Glenn. And it turned out that there was someone whose aunt

had been given two paintings during World War II. She'd worked for the government overseas in Germany, and these two paintings were missing. We were able to identify who the rightful owner was and get them back. So it's a great service you perform, and it's a magnificent conclusion to obviously a very difficult part of history. What was it like to give that back to the family?

It was a deeply moving experience. The Foundation's found and returned more than 40 works of art from paintings, documents, ancient books, tapestries to museums, individual collectors, and so on. And, you know, when we see, oftentimes the people just stand there and they cry. They don't even know what to say because they may have worked 50 or 60 years trying to find some work of art that's been missing, and they haven't even had leaves yet.

And to see us standing there with something that belongs to them, not asking for anything in return, don't charge anybody for doing it because we feel like everyone that went through World War II has already paid enough. Words just fail. It's just pure gratitude. I can't wait for you to tell this new story. Tell me the story of the caretakers.

Well, Remember Us is a story that found me just as Monuments Men did. I had written about the Monuments Men. I told the story of two Monuments officers who were killed in combat, one British soldier and one American, Walter Hutchhausen. And Hutchhausen was killed. Nobody wants to be the last cat.

He was killed in the last month of World War II and is buried in the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten in the Netherlands. I knew that story and I'd made mention of a young girl who wrote Harvard in September 45 asking for the address of his mother wanting to write her.

and tell her that she walked five miles several times a week from her house to the American Military Cemetery, it was called then, to put flowers on his grave because her family knew him and they were grief-stricken to hear that he'd been killed. And I knew that story too, I mentioned that. And then in 2015, the nephew of Hutchhausen wrote me and included a photograph with this elderly lady with this crown of white hair

And he said, here's a photo with Frida. And I couldn't place who this was. I had no idea who it was. And I realized, my God, this is that 19-year-old girl who's still alive. And so I flew to England. She'd married a British soldier after the war. And I went to meet with her. And she started showing me photographs of when the Americans liberated her area of the Netherlands and all these American soldiers that they knew. And she said it.

do you know about the American Military Cemetery?" And I said, "Yes." And she said, "Have you been there?" And I said, "Yes." And she said, "So do you know about the grave adoption program?" And I said, "The what?"

And she said, the grave adoption program. And I said, I have no idea what you're talking about. So I started doing some research on this and learned that at the end of World War II, our largest World War II cemetery in Europe was not Normandy. It was the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margrot. And there were 17,800 boys and a few women buried at this cemetery by May 1946.

And by that time, every single grave had a Dutch person, a local person, who'd volunteered to be an adopter of that grave, go out there on the birth and death date of the soldier, Veterans Day, Memorial Day. And if they had the contact information for the next of kin, send them a photograph of the grave and a letter because they realized it was all well and good to adopt the bodies of veterans.

of dead boys, but where the real need was to was to reach across the ocean into the American homes and try and assuage the grief of the families. And they knew some of these boys and I found it the most heartwarming, uplifting, and certainly unique conclusion to a World War II story that I think has been written. So are they still, some of them still doing this?

Not some. In fact, there were about in 1947, 48 American families were given the choice to have their loved ones sent home or to be left overseas in a military cemetery. The army had no idea how many how many families would want their boys in home.

And as a consequence, they couldn't tell how many cemeteries they would need. General Eisenhower actually thought almost everybody would want to have their family members sent home, but it turned out not to be the case. So about 61% came home, about 39% stayed in Europe, which was about the numbers from World War I, although the numbers in this area of the Netherlands were higher.

The graves that are there now, there are 10,000 boys there and four women, 8,300 graves, 1,700 names on the walls of the missing. Every one of them has an adopter. For 80 years, all those graves have been adopted without interruption. There's a waiting list of almost 1,000 people in the Netherlands to become adopters.

This is a, not just a duty, but a privilege because they take their kids out to the cemetery. They've turned the cemetery into a classroom. And you go out there and yes, there's a somber element, but they're instilling in their kids. You're able to think and say what you want to because of the freedom that was given to you by this American boy or girl. And we don't do that in our country anymore.

So this is one of the most incredible stories that I've ever heard, and I'm shocked that the world doesn't know this. Is there anything like this anywhere else in the world? No, we couldn't even find a comp of any nature. That is not to say that the people in the Normandy area don't care about our boys in Normandy or other cemeteries. They do, of course. Sure.

as do the Belgians and Henri Chapelle and other cemeteries. But there's no place that created an organic grave adoption program during the war in January 1945. These people in this area of the Netherlands were so grateful, having been neutral during World War I and having not lost their freedom for 100 years, and they didn't like it.

And when the Americans liberated them in September 44, I'll never forget this woman, Frida, this elderly woman I met, looked at me the first time I interviewed her. I knew her for eight years. The last eight years of her life, I delivered her eulogy two summers ago. She looked at me, 88 years old, but they were the eyes of the 19-year-old.

And she said, "When I saw that first tank come over the hill and I realized we were saved, I looked at my dad and I said, 'Poppy, these American boys have come all the way across the ocean to save us.'"

And there were tears in her eyes because they couldn't imagine how we could have moved that equipment across the ocean and why we would have cared so much. So there isn't anything like it. But in January '45, these people in this little town of Margraven, a mile from the cemetery, organized a meeting of the town leaders. The town's only got 1,200 people. And they were trying to find an answer to the question, how do you thank your liberators

when they're no longer alive to thank. And they came up with this idea of this grave adoption program. And it's a story that I tell following the lives of about 12 different American combat soldiers, Medal of Honor recipients, tankers, gravedigger, because we don't know that story. We don't know what happens to an American soldier when they're killed on the field of battle, because it's depressing. We move on to the next scene in a movie.

Well, I want people to know you started your program with freedom's not free. It's ugly. Let's talk about let's talk about what the cost is. Let's talk about the stripping line that the body goes through and the removal of dog tags, one being put in the mouth.

if they're still ahead and the other being nailed to the cross because they don't have time to stencil the names on yet. Let's talk about that and let people know it's not just a Marvel movie or a Game Boy. This is real. This is painful. And of course, at the end of the war, when we Americans declare victory and move on with our lives, there's millions of family members in the United States whose lives will never be the same. So it is still happening today. Yeah.

Still happening today. The name of the book is Remember Us. And take us, I mean, because that's really kind of the beauty of it. Take us through the rest of the book just briefly, briefly.

it's it starts with what i thought i thought that i began with what it was a little how nice life was in the netherlands until nineteen till may ten nineteen forty and benevolence doesn't get much attention during world war two and yet we'd everybody's heard of battle the bulge of alabama conform operation market garden those are within fifty miles of where we're talking about there happen all around there of course world war two

in Western Europe begins right here in this area because the German tanks roll across the border. So I cover the lives of these 12 different Americans. I've interviewed all their family members. Some make it through the war, some don't. You read the book and find out who make it, who doesn't. But their lives converge around this area of the Netherlands. And when most World War II stories end with the war being over,

remember us kicks into a transcendent moment when the Dutch come up with this idea of this grave adoption program. The Americans refused to provide the names and addresses of the next of kin. So they're foiled with trying to achieve their ultimate objective, which is to try and contact all the American families and frustrated. There was one of the key figures in the book, a woman who's the mother of 12 children,

who takes it upon herself, she's a woman of action, she writes President Truman and pleads for him to get involved, and when that doesn't work, she gets on the first airplane she's ever flown on, she leaves her kids behind, she flies to New York and lands at LaGuardia Field, she goes to Washington and meets some members of Congress, including a young guy from Texas named Lyndon Johnson, who says, young lady, you need to go to Texas because there were so many military bases there.

She flies to our hometown and lands at Love Field in June 1946 and is met by two family members. And for five weeks, he lives with American families who've lost somebody during the war. And to each of them, she says, leave your boys with us when the election comes. We will watch over them like our own forever.

And they have done that. Now, today, these 10,000 Dutch adopters only have contact information for 20% of the American families. They couldn't ever get the others. So the Monuments Men and Women Foundation. Yep. The Monuments Men and Women Foundation's entered into a joint venture with the Dutch Foundation for Adopting Graves. Not charging anybody for this. And we've created a website called foreverpromise.org.

And on that website is a list of all 10,000 men and women, the four women that are buried at the cemetery or whose names are on the walls of the missing. And it's a searchable database. We're asking people to go and see, do you have someone you know or a relative that's buried there? And if so, we have a short questionnaire. What's your relationship? Are you aware there's a grave adoption program? Are you in contact with your adopter? Would you like to be adopted?

Will you allow us to share your contact information? I connected a lady from Richmond, Texas, Saturday night to her, to this young family that's the adopter of her brother. She's 93 years old, and she was in tears at the thought that when she leaves this world, there'll be someone there to watch over her brother. And that's what we're all about is this connecting.

I mean, that's one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. So cool. There's something, he mentioned freedom isn't free, and you've mentioned that. And there's something is, I mean, the generations that have really taken it upon themselves to say that I am accepting this responsibility for the rest of my country, for humanity in general.

and then actually going to places, fighting for freedom. One of the most iconic moments I can see, I wish I would have taken a picture, rolling through an Afghan village, every single woman had clearly just taken their headscarves off and there was one little girl that was reading a book or at least trying to read a book. And I wish I would have taken that picture back then, but it was this kind of moment where I was like,

This is what it's all about. This is what we are protecting and the greatest generation had that feeling I believe my generation we went to Afghanistan had that feeling I fear that we've lost that going forward now seeing what's happening in New York City I think we've lost that I don't know how we can channel it getting back. Maybe it's education Maybe it's what you're planning going forward, but we've got to get it back We will we will even if it is a remnant. We will get it back. I

I know who I serve. I know where my first citizenship belongs. And I think you do, too. Yeah. All right. Back in just a second with a great story from Kentucky. It revolves around the Dukes of Hazzard. Glenn Beck. First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher.

You know, I think about my wife all the time. My wife is a great shot, but I don't think she's going to pull a gun. She's not going to pull a gun. Will she pull the Berna launcher? Oh, yes, she will. Oh, yes, she will. Now, she'll pull a gun if the kids are around. She'd do that. But I don't know. I just don't see her doing it.

There was something just amazing that happened over the weekend in Somerset, Kentucky. It was like a Dukes of Hazzard show. 35,000 people gathered together to line the streets of Somerset as a very brave driver who you're going to meet here in a second, Raymond Kahn. Raymond Kahn got into the car. It was an old Dodge Charger.

He jumped over the historic fountain in the center of the town. Can we play a little bit of this if you happen to be watching? Right through the fountain. I mean, that is just crazy. I mean, it just makes me proud to be American in a very strange sort of way. It's like I don't even know why, but it was just so satisfying. The world's on fire, and you're like, yes, we still got it.

Raymond Kahn is on with us now. He is the founder and lead stuntman from the Northeast Ohio Dukes, and they do this kind of stuff all the time. Raymond, welcome to the program. How are you? Thank you for having me, Glenn. I am great. I feel like a million bucks.

Do you really? I would imagine all I thought of when I saw you land, all I thought of was, ow, my back, ow, ow. It didn't hurt coming down? Well, you know what? We are thankful that the legendary stuntman who inspired me to do this, like the legendary

The late, great Al White Jr., Ted Barba, Corey Eubanks, Jumpin' John Cade. These are the guys who risked everything back in the 80s on the set of the Dukes of Hazzard to figure out how we can do this safely without killing ourselves.

I have to say, I saw a video from in front of you as you landed, and you hit a wall, and you're just tearing through this wall, and there is a photographer that is in front. Did you see him and think, get out of the way, dude? Yeah, I've seen him now. Because it looks like you almost killed him.

So AJ Satterfield is our producer of Stunt Life. Stunt Life is a series that follows us and makes like little episodes of what we do. And Mike Kolevich is the executive producer and that was him there. And they carefully pulled themselves. They know the risk, they know the risk.

but he had a little bailout zone just in case if I go to the left or to the right that he would be able to squeeze through and he did. So all of the spectators, they were safe, they were at a safe distance. We can't do the jump if we're out there risking people's lives.

And with the help of the Summer Nights crews, the city of Somerset, all the police and fire and EMS, everybody worked together with my team. I have the best crew in the world. And, yes, I am the driver that does the jump. But you know what? We had to build that car. We had to build that car. And there was a team of us. And my crew was so great. They were like, Raymond, stay at the hotel. We'll get everything done.

we'll get everything done. Relax. They knew I was nervous, you know, and they, they, they know that my team, you couldn't ask for a better stunt team. I got so many questions for you, but let me start here before we, before we go too far, too much further away from the town.

Who the hell is the mayor and the city council? I love these guys. Who would like, I can't think of another city in America that would be like, yeah, we've got that historic fountain right downtown. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. America is back, baby. I'm telling you, you couldn't, you cannot get more patriotic than having the general leave from the Duke of Madison. 45 years, 47 years.

After the show ended. I'm telling you, people love from all walks of life. People love the Dukes of Hazzard. They love to generally listen. If there was if there was ever a non racist TV show for all, it was the Dukes of Hazzard. And that's my main goal. My main goal is.

is to get this TV show back on television. That way we have our children and our grandchildren watching a TV show that has family values to it. Okay. So let me, let me, uh, one more question on this before I turn. What the hell's wrong with you? When did you decide this is what you want to do with your life?

Okay, so I was always a fan. I was born in 77. The show came out in 79. And I loved that big orange car. I just, I loved that car. So in 2005...

At 2005, I watched legendary stuntman Corey Eubanks jump over my Roscoe car, my police car, the police car that I have. They jumped over it at the very first generally jump site in Oxford College in 2005.

Covington, Georgia. And that's when I got bit by what I call the stunt bug. And I was like, I got to do this. I got to do it. If I only do it once, I got to do it. And Glenn, this was my 30th generally jump. For our 20th jump, we went to Detroit.

Detroit Autorama, we jump to generally downtown Detroit. And then for our 30th, we're jumping over the historic fountain in Somerset, Kentucky. I don't know. This is different. You know, downtown Detroit, you have crash into some buildings. There's nobody around. Oh, well. In Somerset, Kentucky, though, it's just a different thing. Okay. Let me, let me.

I mean, I think this is amazing. And looking into you, while the jump is phenomenal and makes you feel good, what you have gone through in the last few years is even more amazing than

You had a rare brain surgery, right? A rare hormonal disorder that you were like living another classic TV show, The Hulk. It was changing you, right? Yeah.

Tell me about this. Yeah, so in 2015, I started to feel a lot of pain in my knees and in my elbows. I started noticing my voice was changing and my face was changing. And then here comes, hey, Ray, you have to get on blood pressure medicine. You're pre-diabetic. You're 335 pounds. I was always like around 220 pounds. And

So nobody, because acromegaly, how it affects you, it's over a long, long, long period of time. The people that are in my life every day, they couldn't see the changes, you know, but the people who I haven't seen Ray in a year or two years, you look different, Ray, you know? And so I went to our local dermatologist because I started to get these like creases in my head. I'm like, what the heck? It's bad enough I'm bald. What are these lines in my head now?

So the dermatologist, she said, let me see your hands. She's like, yeah, you got big hands. I said, yeah, every time I shake somebody's hand, they're like, dude, it's like,

shaking hands with a center block. You got huge hands. Like banana hands. Yeah, my feet went from a size 10 to a 12. I had to get an extra 2X helmet, you know, because my helmet wouldn't even fit. And she sent me out for blood work. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on just a sec. Did you think you were just gaining weight, or did you know it was something more? Because you were, like, starving yourself.

Weren't you? Yeah, because heavy stunt drivers don't make good stunt drivers. You get hurt a lot easier. It's a lot more weight. And, of course, all of my loved ones and my crew, it's the jumps. It's the jumps. The jumps are tearing you up. I'm like, no, no, no. It's not the jumps. Don't blame the jumps. So I had said, okay.

Okay, so went to the doctor. They said, go get this blood work. You may have something serious going on. The blood work came back that my human growth hormone was 900. 900. Now, normally it's 70 to 270. I'm 47 years old and I'm still a growing boy. So

So, um, that opted for me to, to, to, to get the, uh, or the, yeah, the MRI of my brain, the scan. And they said, I have a nine millimeter tumor on my, uh, 10 millimeter pituitary gland. And it was wreaking havoc on my body. And the surgeon up at the Cleveland clinic said, Raymond, if we don't get this out of you, it's going to kill you. And my wife's

crying my daughter's crying and the first thing that came to my lips was can I still jump the generally after the surgery and the doctor said yes yes and I'm like okay let's do this surgery let's get this thing out of my head and then as soon as I was okay we went up to the radical speed sport in Canada Joe hired us to come up there and we did the first international generally jump in front of like

30,000 people out there. And it was awesome. I'm telling you, I'm living the dream, man. I can't believe all this has happened to me, all because of a TV show called The Deuce of Hazard. I have to tell you, I've got to put an event together just because I wanted to invite you to go jump the General Lee over something. You know what we want to do? We have to do...

We want to build an American patriot generally, and we want to put 47, 45 on the doors, put a big old American flag on the roof, and we're going to call it the Jump for Trump 2025. And we want to jump in front of the White House. That's what we want to do. That's fantastic. I'll bring it up to him. I don't know. I don't know if there's any president that will do it.

It'll be him. I mean, he told me a story. It was so funny. He'll probably do it on the White House grounds. It's going to be huge. Yeah, that would be awesome. You would want to do that. He told me a story, he said, you know, about the flagpoles. And he said...

He was afraid that all of the paperwork and government, everything, and he wanted to build a ballroom and put the flagpoles up. And he went to the guy at the White House that runs everything at the White House, the architect, and he said, so what is the paperwork like? And he said, you know, Mr. President, the White House belongs to the president while he's there, so...

There's no paperwork. You'd have to be the one that would sign all of it. And he was like, this is great. I bet he could build that jump. I bet he could build that jump without any permits. That is so fantastic.

My team, we can build a great American auto metal direct. They'll give us the panels to make the car red, white, and blue, big old American flag theme. We'll call it the jump for Trump. We love Trump, the jump for Trump, and we will rock the way out. It's so great. I will bring it up to him. I will make sure he sees it. Okay? All right. That's awesome. But listen, if he takes you up, I have to be there.

You have to get me invited. Well, man, I would be honored to put a passenger side seat in the car and you can ride with me. No, no, no, no, no. Come on. I saw you come down and my back, I have a really bad back, and all I could think of was, ow, ow, that must have hurt. Last year at the Mopar Nats,

I hit the ramp at 72 miles an hour. I flew 217 feet. That's the longest generally jump ever.

in front of a live audience and I landed flat on all four wheels. Had it not been for the safety equipment that the legendary stuntman that came up with, I would have either been killed or worse paralyzed for the rest of my life. And it's because of that safety equipment. I'm not even sitting on the seat. I'm hanging from the ceiling with bungee cords.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I got to meet you. I got to meet you, Ray. Let's jump in front of the White House. Thank you. Raymond Kahn, Northeast Ohio Dukes founder and lead stuntman. You can find the website northeastohiodukes.net. Ray, we'll talk again. Thank you so much. God bless you, man.

God bless you. God bless America. You got it. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a home isn't just a business. It is personal. I mean, that's where you raise your kids. It's where you laugh, you fight, you make mistakes, you grow old. And for most people, it's the biggest financial decision they'll ever make. So why would you hand that over to some random agent from a website who isn't really, really competent? Because you don't even know. I mean, are you in the real estate business? Because I wasn't. I

I didn't know how to judge a real estate agent, how you could get a good one. Realestateagentsitrust.com is my company, and I set out to change this. These are agents who actually care, who have been vetted for experience, success, integrity, for the best business practices. We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we studied them. What...

What makes you better than everybody else? What is it? And we found the formula because they're all pretty much doing the same kinds of things. So before you move out of that house, before you put it on the market, get the right real estate agent that will really work with you because it matters. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Tell us where you're buying or selling your house, whether across the street or across the country. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Beck, we'll be right back.

Executive producer Ricky is with us now. Who...

Sarah, can we get the driver on? And I said, Sarah, can you get the driver on in like an hour? And she said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

And she went to work and boom, he's on the show. You have the best guest booker. But I mean, Jason and I, we were lighting up over this and I was trying to figure out why. And I think it's because...

this kind of moment represents what America is. It's weirdly true. It's weirdly true. We're risk takers. We're insane people. And we need to do more of that. Yeah, I just, I love it. We're going to tweet that out. I want to send the president a note. We got to do that at the White House. He would love that. He would love that. So anyway, Jason.

Thank you for filling in today. You betcha. Are you back tomorrow or is Stu back? Stu's back tomorrow.
