So yesterday, Marco Rubio came out and showed us what Cuba is doing and what they've been doing for. They've been doing it for a long time. And they gave up the rifle for a picture. And you've seen this picture, and it was just a happenstance picture, but it's the most produced picture or reproduced picture in all of human history. And that's the beginning of what Cuba is doing right now. And we'll give you that. Also, you know, the DSA came out with their just radical abolish the Constitution. Basically, they want to get rid of the president and the Supreme Court and they want to just rewrite the entire Constitution. One of the first things they want to do is get rid of the Senate. Well, you know what? That's already happened before. It happened in American history. They got rid of the Senate. I didn't even know this until I started doing my research yesterday. Do you know who was for it? Who was, who designed it? And it was a massive failure. Benjamin Franklin will give you that. Also, I had to talk an insider off the ledge of being hopeless today. They said, glenn, a lot of stuff you talk about just makes me feel so small and insignificant. The problems are so big. Well, I want you to hear the answer to that because none of that is true.

Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. All right, so the suspect of the terror arson attack on the federal immigration court building in Manhattan yesterday has been identified. Now he's a 43 year old guy, Andrew John Arapica, I think, I don't know. Army veteran. Officials say he came armed with two axes, a hammer, a machete and three knives. He went and he poured gasoline all over the building. It's a stone building, so he's not quite. He didn't bring a lot of brains with him. Maybe had a couple of machetes, but not a lot of brains. So he pours gasoline all over this building and then he sets it on fire. Well, they catch him pretty quickly. They take him down and he was carrying anti ICE literature. Um, uh, he yelled anti ICE statements as he was being arrested. He, and he is a long time. This is going to come as a surprise to you. Longtime leftist climate change activist, he has also participated in pro Palestinian marches and causes. Voter registration show that he has previously been registered as a Democrat and also with the Working Families Party, which is kind of a socialist group. Here's what I find interesting. Well, let me give you one more fact. This is according to Andy Ngo. He maintains fetish accounts online where he expresses interests. And this is. I'm not giving this to you because it's salacious. I'm giving to for a reason. You'll understand. Interest in defecation and bondage. Adult content creators. He is also apparently, apparently has fantasized about being turned on by touching his future daughter in one Instagram post. If those things are true, it shows he is really, really sick. But the part about defecation is really important. Years ago, I talked to Rabbi Daniel Lapin and this was during the. During the Occupy Wall street times. And remember, they were defecating and smearing cop cars and everything else with defecation. And he said, that's actually Glen, an ancient ritual. And I said, what? And it was not of baal, the evil God that had you sacrifice your children. He would promote for the planet, literally for agriculture, so the planet would be happy. He would have you have orgies and everything else out in the forest. And then after nine months, you would bring the product of that orgy, the child, and you would sacrifice them on his altar. Okay, but one of the other rituals that another, not BAAL per se, it was named Peor, and he was a kind of a local deity of Moab, but he was in agriculture. He was about the weather and everything else. They would defecate and smear things ritualistically. Okay, I don't. I don't get it. But anyway, the point of this is these people are. Are living and, and fulfilling ancient religious rituals without even knowing it. This. There is an evil that is going on. And I want to talk to you about. There are all of these lines that are coming together. If you've never read the book Hitler's Monsters, you should. Hitler's Monsters is a. It's a very scholarly book. There's no pictures in this book. And it is really dense because the guy who wrote it, I talked to after I read it. It's. It's a hard read, but it is something you've never read before. And it talks about how Hitler and the Nazis took all of these different rituals from different, you know, witches, witchcraft, you know, ancient, ancient tribes and ancient things from the areas all of this evil. And they brought it all together and then they. They combined it with Christianity and Hinduism and everything else. And they just had this big steaming ball of mess at the end. We're doing that whether we know it or not. That's what's happening to us right now. We are dismissing the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And we are, we are combining all of these things and it's going to make a very toxic and evil stew. Now, on top of that, you'll notice he's anti ice, he is also pro Palestinian and he's a socialist. Why is this important? Because this is the toxic stew and where it's coming from. Now I want to show you this hour. I'm going to show you another. I'm going to talk to you about the Tate brothers and I'm going to show you they are preying on the mentally ill. They are taking the disenfranchised, they are taking the people with grievance. They are taking the people that feel like losers who are alone. And there are a lot of people that feel very lonely right now. They don't know how to meet people. They don't know how to, because it's all been dismantled by the same system that is now scooping them up and saying, you'll never be alone. You're in a community now. You're in the collective. So let me tell you before I get to the Tate brothers, what happened yesterday with the State Department. Rubio came out with a report from the State Department that cast the Castro regime not just as a geopolitical adversary, but as an ideological nucleus of what is being described as the modern radical left. Let me just give you a couple of lines. For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States. The State Department is exposing the full history of the Cuban espionage and subversion in our country. The American people deserve to know. For nearly seven decades, the Cuban regime has waged sustained campaign of subversion against the United States. It's a campaign that has infiltrated the the highest reaches of the US Government, recruited and cultivated generations of American activists, backed by an unprecedented wave of left wing terrorism on American soil, and carried out one of the most durable and damaging foreign intelligence penetrations in American history. According to the report, Havana has developed an unconventional strategy centered on espionage, infiltration, proxy networks and ideological influence rather than conventional warfare. And it has been very successful. So let me start, let me start at the beginning. You know that chain, that Che poster? You know where that came from? Let me take you back to October of 1967. It's a one room schoolhouse in a Bolivian village and chef had been executed. This is where he was executed by a sergeant in the Bolivian army. His campaign had been a disaster. He went into the highlands to light a revolution, and the peasants that he came to say liberate turned on him and turned him in. He recruited almost nobody, and his entire column was hunted down in under 11 months. Now you can measure a revolution by the rifle. And Cuba lost. Bolivia failed, Congo failed Latin America. Insurgencies burned through a generation and left graves everywhere. But this is what the State Department was revealing yesterday. There's something that. Something else that happened that nobody was talking about. Seven years earlier, a Havana fashion photographer had snapped a frame at a funeral. And Che stepped into view at this funeral for just a couple of seconds. And they only took two exposures. The paper didn't run it. He tacked the print on his wall and completely forgot about it. Then an Italian publisher came through Havana and saw the picture. And he's like, oh, wow, that's cool. And he left with a copy of it. Okay? When Che was killed that October, he took that. This Italian guy took that picture of Che and ran it and ran it off by the hundreds of thousands. The photographer never asked for a dime. And the picture became the most reproduced image in the history of the world. And out of a conference in Havana that year, the year, actually the year before, the Cubans started printing a magazine that went out to Asia and Africa and Latin America in four different language. And it had a free poster folded inside of every issue. It was silkscreen art mailed across the planet for nothing. And the posters came out of the magazines, and it went up on dormitory walls in countries that had never heard a shot fired in anger. The rifle lost, but the picture won. Why am I telling you a story of Che's picture that we've all seen that picture with him in the little communist bean? Because when the Soviet money vanished in 1991, Havana just didn't quit. It stopped sending rifles. So here's how I would explain this to somebody who has never thought about anything in Cuba for more than five minutes, okay? If you want an orange tree in a place where oranges don't grow, you can plant a seed and wait 15 years and probably fail, or you can take a tree that is already there and graft. So if you graft onto a tree that is already there, that is natively growing and is already rooted in the soil, it already survives the local winters, you can cut it and bind your cutting of the orange tree into the wound, and you let the native roots feed your fruit, stop planting foreign seeds Start grafting onto native trunks. The trunks are real. Real grievance, real poverty, real anger, real corruption. Nobody has to invent any of those. The. The graft is what gets bound into the wound. The ideology, the training, the coordination, the money. That's what the State Department laid out yesterday. They said, look, there's no guerrilla columns anymore. There's no political. Or. They did say there's political coalitions, there's academic centers, there's solidarity groups, friendship societies, and the exchange programs. One of them has carried something like 10,000Americans to Cuba since 1969. Now, this is not a new charge. United States Senate committee called it one of the most extensive infiltration operations ever run in our country by a foreign power. And that was 50 years ago. 10,000Americans. One of those Americans is now the mayor of Los Angeles. They came home, they became professors, organizers, directors, staffers, and now they're becoming politicians. So when you ask, ask who's affecting the American population? Stop looking for a spy. Spies were real, yes, but they're not the mechanism. The mechanism is the fruit that shows up on an American tree. It speaks with an American accent. It cites American injustice, some of it genuine, but it never presents itself as foreign because it isn't anymore. That's the entire point of the graft. They knew they couldn't come in with something that was foreign and plant it. They had to find people that they could graft into and say, oh, here's some ideas here. It work perfectly for you in America, the Cold War. Half of that report is documented history. The training camps, the Senate findings, the espionage convictions, etc. Etc. They're not sowing seeds in American soil. They never had to. They found the trunks that are already growing here. They cut and they bound and they waited. So now we're sitting here with bitter fruit, and it looks like it's American, but it is not American. So don't stand there arguing about the fruit. Check the graph line. And that's exactly what the State Department is doing. They check the graph line. They're like, okay, bad, bitter fruit. But the tree is an American tree. So how is this happening? They're looking for the graph lines, and they're seeing that a lot of it is coming from Cuba, which was influenced at the time from the Soviet Union, but is still going on now with help from Russia, China, and Iran. So much of what you're seeing on the street, this is why they're always called useful idiots. They have no idea that they're being used, that this is not coming from America, this is a foreign entity. This is a foreign solution. And they are using our children and they're using the disaffected to grow that bitter fruit on it. So when I go back now and I look at this guy who, you know, set fire to a stone building, again, not real bright, what is he? What are his influences? Palestinian. Where is that influence coming from? That influence is coming from Iran. He's also talking about socialism and communism. Where is that influence coming from? Not America, that's coming from places like Cuba. These, this illness, it's a mental illness, but it is being, it is being pushed into the system. It's like our kids are lonely. Our kids are confused. Intentionally so, I believe. And they are. When they go to the hospital, they're going to somebody for answers. The hospital, they don't know. They think that's a friendly place to go. Is not. It's a foreign center of poison. Every time they go to a professor or to, you know, some group that's like, hey, you can fit in here. We're a big collective. It's foreign poison. And they have no idea. Sometimes you look at your bank account and you think, I don't have the money to do the things I have to do, I really need to do. Maybe it's a home repair, maybe it's paying off high interest credit cards. Maybe it's just helping a kid through college or finally starting that business you've been dreaming about. Then you look at the value of your home. You realize you've spent years building equity in there. Well, but you have a loan still on it and you do not want to get rid of that low interest loan.

So the Democratic Socialists of America have released their new platform, and their platform is called Workers Deserve More. Now, you might say, who are the workers? Well, you can ask Mamdani, because he apparently know. Well, no, actually, they asked him yesterday, and it stumped him. He couldn't answer who workers were. It also commits to the organization to abolish the United States Senate, replacing the President and the Supreme Court with an executive and a judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Okay, that means that you just want to abolish the United States of America. They also want to take the largest corporations into public ownership. This is communism. Abolishing ice, granting amnesty to all immigrants, defunding the Department of War, and eventually writing a new Constitution. Hmm, that's interesting. Now, their words. In their words, you know, some demands may be achievable under the current system, but complete victory, I'm quoting, requires building a new society from the ground up. Oh, well, the good news is we know how that society looks because it looks like the former Soviet Union or the current Chinese government. Now, this has been done before, and this is where the left loses. They always lose because they can. They combine communism with radicalism and explosions and terrorism, and it's now all starting to feel an awful lot like 1968, 1969. I want to play a little clip here from. From the Beatles. The Beatles were asked to join this revolution, and. And John and Paul said, well, we'll think about it. We're going to the Himalayas right now. They went to the Himalayas and they gave the answer to the left with the song Revolution. I want to just play just a couple of seconds of this. Listen to this part of Revolution by the Beatles. You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you better free your mind instead. But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Ma, you ain't gonna make it with anyone and be pow. Okay, so in this song, they talk about, you want money, but you want to give that money to people who hate. Count us out. You want a revolution? Well, we'd like to see your plan. Oh, your plan is to change the Constitution? Well, we. We would like to see. What was it? We'd like to change your head. You tell me. It's the institution. That's what they're saying now. It's the institution itself. Well, you Better free your mind instead. And if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone. Anyhow, now they have a chance with Chairman Mao because no one knows who Chairman Mao really was. They did back then, but they don't now. He was responsible for killing tens of millions. The number might be as high as 90 million people. I can guarantee you. Every scholar agrees that it was at least 30 million. It might be as high as 90 million. He was a cold stone killer. But he had new ideas. And these ideas were going to work no matter who in his population had to die. Now, let me play something else. This is from Hassan Piker. This is Piker. First, let me play the one from today. Sarah. This is Hassan Piker praising Chairman Mao. Listen to this. The security checkpoints. I live streamed the entire process. I got stopped by a cop who thought I was, like, making fun of Mao Zedong, which I never would and never will. Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of this world, okay? A man who changed the entire universe. The entire planet. The entire universe. Wow. Okay, stop now. Here he is from clip from yesterday. Here he is dressed as Chairman Mao. No more to Trumpism, but no more to the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, and who betray us. No more to the fascist reactionaries, but no more to the Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists. Who will fund ice, who will fund Israel. This is exactly, exactly the way it has happened every single time. Now, the Beatles figured it out. The Beatles were like, yeah, we thought about it for a second, but you're blowing things up. You're teaching people to hate. You're. You're praising Chairman Mao and you say you want to. You want to change the Constitution. No. Now they have 104,000 members, 90 endorsed candidates this cycle, more than a dozen people running for Congress. The mayor of New York City is one of them. And here's what almost nobody that has covered the story about their platform and getting rid of the Senate has mentioned and they don't even know. I can guarantee you America's already tried it, and not in theory. In Pennsylvania in 1776, when the ink was drying on the Declaration of Independence, Pennsylvania's radicals wrote the most democratic constitution in the Western world. They said, we're going to have one chamber, no Senate, no governor, just an executive council of 12 chosen by and answerable to the Assembly. Judges could be removed, annual elections, term limits, open galleries, every bill printed before the people before a vote. The guy who presided over this convention and the guy who wrote it, this might shock you, was Benjamin Franklin. This was the cutting edge of human liberty at the time. We're going to do exactly what the democratic socialists say they want to do now. Here's what happened. It produced a government that disenfranchised roughly 40% of the adult population in Pennsylvania. They started to require loyalty oaths. They seized property by legislative vote. They set price controls. On October 4, 1779, an armed militia marched through the streets of Philadelphia to the house of James Wilson. He was one of the signers of the Declaration because Wilson had defended men the assembly wanted punished. You're not standing against the Assembly. Wilson and about 30 others barricaded themselves inside and they fired down the street and the street fired back. Six men died. And that was at the corner of 3rd and Walnut in the capital of the American Revolution. Killed in a dispute between a legislature and the people it claimed to be. See, that's the deal. You claim it's for the people, it's the peoples, or it's the workers. And it never is in the end. Four years later, Pennsylvania's own Council of Censors published its review of what had gone wrong. The assembly, they found, had assumed the powers that belonged to the executive and to the courts. And over and over the ordinary course of business, they violated those things. And no one could stop it. James Madison read the report. He quoted it in Federalist 48 alongside Jefferson's line about Virginia's own assembly. 173 despots will be as oppressive as one and an elective. Despotism was not the government we fought for. Ricky, where is it? Is it Columbia? It's not Columbia. Where is it? The despot is now in South America. That is Nicaragua. Not running for. Not running for reelection. Just canceled the elections. Okay. It's easy to vote people in. It's really hard to vote them out. Okay. This is where the Senate really came from. The Senate is written or was written until the progressives change it to protect the states. And it didn't come from a love of. Love of Wyoming or, you know, Virginia. It came from Philadelphia, from bodies in the street, from the discovery that a single assembly answering only to itself is not the purest form of democracy. It's the shortest road out of democracy. Pennsylvania abolished its own Constitution in 1790, 14 years after they adopted it, and they put a Senate in. Now the Senate. And this is the part that you. You need to hear. The Senate is mal proportioned and Madison knew it. He wanted equal state suffrage at the convention and defended it in Federalist 62 as a compromise of necessity, not a principal, a price. Wyoming and California each get two senators at a ratio of 68 to one. The House has been frozen at 435 since 1929. That was an act of Congress. That is not the Constitution. That was an act of Congress. Expanding it will just take a simple law of everything on the DSA list, the one that might be defensible and conservatives might be the one that should propose this. Maybe because a house closer to the people is a house harder for money to buy. And it was in 1929 that this changed. Maybe we should. Maybe we should allow the house to grow again. Public ownership, that's another thing in their platform that's not alien to us either. Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bank of North Dakota, the Alaska Permanent Fund, Norway's oil Fund, which made every Norwegian a millionaire. On paper, however, Sweden actually tried the ownership plank in 1976. The trade unions proposed the Minder Plan. Buy Swedish industry gradually and share by share, put it into worker controlled funds. It passed in 1983. Sweden repealed it in 1991. Because they learned that capital doesn't wait around for an act of Congress or, you know, the reading of a bill. The rich people and the people that were actually building industries, they got out okay, just like Britain. They nationalized coal, they nationalized the rail lines, steel, power. In 1945 and they were standing in front of the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, with their hat in their hand by 1976. India nationalized the banks in 1969, spent a generation growing at 3 and a half percent. Venezuela wrote, rewrote their constitution. They took their companies, they took them, they capped prices. They lost three quarters of its economy and nearly 8 million of its own people. In Venezuela, and one place the abolition argument was put directly to the voters. Minneapolis 2021. The city where it started lost 56 to 44. But the plank that tells you everything is the senate. Because Article 5 of our Constitution, written after the experiment of Philadelphia, says no state without its consent shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate. That's the only sentence in the entire document that the amendment process refuses to reach. Can't. Can't do anything. The framers protected the one thing from the future and this is it. They knew people would try it because it had been tried before. And they saw the disaster that it was. Which means abolishing the Senate requires the unanimous agreement of all 50 states, including 25 smallest voting to make themselves irrelevant. They know that they Know that that's why the program says we need a new constitution, because this constitution will not allow them to do it. You know, and that's the thing that socialist and communists know. When the only lawful road is closed. You're no longer talking about amending a republic. You're talking about replacing it. The founders were not protecting the powerful when they built breaks. They were protecting the farmer in a minority from the majority. That was certain of itself. Every safeguard on this list exists for the same reason, because 104,000 people who are sure that they are exactly right are as dangerous as one king who is sure he's right and considerably harder to argue with. Pennsylvania found this out at 3rd and Walnut. Cost him 6 men and 14 years. We wrote it down so we wouldn't have to learn it again. They are taking us in a very dangerous path. Do not dismiss the democratic socialists. They are radicals that want to destroy our Constitution, the United States of America, and our way of life. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. You know, I was just talking to, I was just talking to Jason because he was doing the Torch insider broadcast and he read a note from one of the insiders who was talking about today's show. And could you just, could you just share that, Jason? Yeah, as a subscriber, hair on fire, she said that today's show is making me feel helpless. What can I do as an average everyday American? So why do you think she said that? I think there's a. What about today's show? There's, I think just, it's an onslaught of heavy news, I believe, with, you know, the Cuban report, how they're influencing radicals in the United States, DSA growing in numbers, those kinds of topics and stories, I think. So I have to tell you, when radicals win the streets, they lose the country because radical. We are not a radical nation. We're not. Even though we were born as radicals, we are not. And if you remember what happened with sds, the student led, you know, socialist Marxist group, what did they do in, in 1969? They went to the, they went to the Democratic Convention in Chicago at the Coliseum. And the Students for Democratic Society had a hundred thousand members and hundreds of chapters on campuses all over. And that's about what, it's about where the DSA is at today. I think they were. What did they say? 110,000 people. So now SDS, back in 69 is the size of the DSA today. And it's the same group of people and they gave birth to the Weather Underground, the Weathermen, all of these really, really radical people. And they showed up and they were violent on the street. Remember, it was just a few months before that that in Greenwich Village, they were assembling a nail bomb and it went off and it killed a bunch of them. Okay? They were, they had all of these anti war protests on the streets. And, you know, there was. There was just real, real problems, real problems of violence everywhere. And people were starting to get sick of it because it would become. It became obvious to the American people that this was not about the war. This was not about Nixon or Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson. This was about communism. This was about flushing the entire system. And they would take it. They saw the violence on the streets and people realized, these people are not like us. They are not like us. I have hope because this was the last time this played out in America. This was their last phase. It had. This has grown exactly the same way it grew last time. Now it's stronger this time, or was stronger this time because it has the corporations and it has a lot of people on the inside of the government, but they are slowly revealing themselves. And those who are in the inside of the government who are on the, on the left, you have people now like Bill Maher and Van Jones, who I would have always categorized not as Democrats, but on the left. They are now coming out and saying, this gotta stop. They're seeing the poison themselves and they're pointing it out. And the more people that you get like that, that point it out to Democrats, the faster this thing is gonna fall apart. Okay? It's not gonna solve all of our problems. You're gonna still have problems with people who are disagree with you on the direction of the country and, you know, Donald Trump and everything else. But you're not going to be dealing with the socialist radicals, the communists, who are now saying that they want to change the government, they want to change the Constitution and get rid of the presidency and the judicial process, all of this stuff. That is not what Americans want. So I have to tell you, I find great hope because I think we're in the last stage now. It could go the other way. Believe me, it could go the other way. Let's see how these elections turn out. But it could go the other way. If they gain power and they continue to put people on the inside of this government, we're in trouble. We're in deep trouble. But I still think that it's, you know, there's a greater chance of us succeeding by far than failing. And that is because that comes from my faith in God. I've seen too many miracles, too many things that have happened that you're like, well, that. That. That should have happened that way. Donald Trump being shot, the election of 2020, it actually made us stronger while making us weaker. It woke us up and made us stronger. Covid did the same thing, made us really, really weak, put real problems. But it woke a lot of people up, and they were like, wait a minute, I don't want any of this. So everything that seems to be bad, remember, God will use everything for his will. So even the bad stuff is going to be used for good purposes. We just have to not panic. We have to have faith, and we have to do our part. You know, the secret on this is. The news is about our collective problem. The news is about our country. And so when we hear these things, we think, this is such a big problem, I can't do anything about it. And that's where you start to lose faith. I can't do anything about this. You can, actually, but not in the way that everybody thinks. Everybody thinks is. Let me ask you this. Who's the most powerful man on earth today in ways I've never even thought of as President of the United States? Who's the most powerful man on earth? Donald Trump. Do you think Donald Trump's gonna be able to solve this? I don't. I don't. If Donald Trump, the most powerful man on earth, can't solve this, then it's not that it can't be solved. It's that it cannot be solved by one man, nor should it be. See, the left will tell you, yes, one man can solve all the problems. We'll show you. Mom, Donnie is saying this. We'll show you that the answer is government. Whatever the problem, government can solve it. I don't believe that. You don't believe that. The collective cannot solve problems, especially with one man at the head of it. Okay? It has to come from individuals solving their own problems in their own homes, in their own lives and in their own communities and their own states long before it gets to the country. And so when you feel discouraged, you feel like, oh, if I only had the voice of an angel, I would shake the earth to its core. Well, you're not an angel. You don't have that voice. You weren't given that voice. Nobody was given that voice. And if God wanted somebody to have that voice, he would have given it to somebody. But they didn't. He didn't. They don't have it. So stop looking for things that you're not supposed to have. You're supposed to have the voice you have. Now, how can you use that in your own life, with your own family, in your area of influence? That's what matters. And I have to tell you, we're not any different, you and I. I can't tell you how many years I prayed for, Lord. I just need more of this. This. I need more information. I need more understanding. I need. I need more talent to be able to explain this. I need more people around me so I can. No, no. Forgive me for my sin, Lord. I don't. Otherwise, he would have given it to me. I need exactly what I have. Except I need one thing that I didn't have for a long time. I'm going to say this carefully so you understand. Humility. What we all need is humility. The Lord's not asking any of us to play the Savior. He's not asking any of us to be the guy he's not. He's asking you to be exactly who you are. He's asking you to use the tools that you currently have. I guarantee you, everything that you need, you have. And you might be sitting here saying, well, I want to start my own business, but I don't have. But you have everything in you now. You just have to figure out the path. And that's the hard part. Because a lot of that comes with patience. A lot of that comes from just doing the right thing over and over and over again for a long time. You know, I tell my son and my daughter all the time, you don't know who's watching you. You have no idea who's going to cross your path. You're going to work and work and work, and you're going to think you have the. You know, I know exactly how it has to be. And I have to do this and I have to do that. And then when I do that, then I have to find this person, and that person is gonna. No, no, you don't. You just have to do what you're supposed to do and do it so well that somebody is gonna see it. Somebody's gonna recognize. Somebody's gonna walk by your path and go, oh, my gosh, you're amazing. Can I help you? Because I have this tool over here, and I think if we put your chocolate with my peanut butter, we're going to make some amazing things happen. So don't be discouraged. There's really. Honestly. I know, I know. I know what it's like, to feel helpless on these subjects. I know it. But I say this because I've lived it, and I still fight it every day. I come home some days and my wife will say, how was the show today? And I'll just. I mean, I just shake my hand. Another show of saying the same stuff and not making any difference. And that's wrong. That's wrong. But that if you recognize that that's wrong in my life, it's wrong in your life, too. It's wrong. I know this sounds so stupid. It sounds so stupid. It sounds. It doesn't sound stupid. It sounds like. I know, I know, I know. But I'm looking to make a real difference. The biggest difference you will make will be done within the four walls of your home. The biggest difference that you can make will be with your children, teaching them, guiding them, raising them, doing all the things that you know. I can't tell you how many regrets I have. I'm like a regret machine. I hate it. It's my worst. One of my worst qualities is I beat myself up all the time for things that I missed, I should have done, I didn't do. It's usually not things I did. It's things I failed to do. And, you know, watching my kids now at their age, I'm like, ah, I should have done more of the. And my wife and I just have to remind each other every day, we did the best we could at the time. And she'll point out, well, no, we didn't. There were times that. No, honey, but, yes, you're right on that. But there were times that we were both so beaten and so tired that that was the best we could do. Again, I'm preaching to the choir. So don't beat yourself up. Just do the best you can do today. And know that if you're doing that, the Lord multiplies and everything works out. The answer is not one person. It's not one movement. It is one person doing the right thing in the smallest of ways. And when a whole buttload of us do that, the whole world changes. The whole world changes. If the President of the United States is not the guy to fix this, then you know the answer. And honestly, again, the Lord only picked one savior. God picked one Savior. We have him. Stop looking for saviors on the horizon. You are the one in your own life. You're the one in politically speaking and fixing our nation. You're the one that will make all the difference, Nana.

On Ritual and Evil:
“These people are living and fulfilling ancient religious rituals without even knowing it. There is an evil that is going on.” (Glenn, 15:50)

Glenn Beck’s episode offers a layered historical and cultural analysis of current leftist movements, their roots, and the cyclical patterns of radicalism in America. He argues that although the challenges seem daunting, the American people typically reject extremism once exposed, and that meaningful change begins with humble, individual action grounded in personal conviction and faith, not attempts at top-down revolutionary overhaul.
