Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, today is a really good best of podcast. You don't want to miss any of it. I start with a Carmelo story out of Texas and what it means. But really what it means, how did we get here? And how do we stop this from happening to our kids? I spoke a lot about this in several different parts of the show today, but we're focusing on how did we get here? Then also the Belfast stabbing, because...
We're talking about two stabbings. We're talking about Carmelo stabbing the United States and the attempted beheading of an Irish citizen and the nonsense that's going on there. What is the solution? What are we missing? And Graham Platner, he wins. He is now the official Democratic nominee. And I give the Democrats and really all of us three specific warnings on this.
And all three of them should be listened to. All this and more on today's podcast. Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner. And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise. We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives, you know, insisting they don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones.
They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over. The things that become part of his daily life because they're well-made, they're comfortable, and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day. They make premium hoodies, great t-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States.
Their cotton is grown here. Their clothes are cut and sewn here, and the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on, and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

Chapter 3: How does the Carmelo Anthony stabbing relate to societal issues?
And, you know, I just want to say, first of all, that, you know, all black communities don't feel the same. I hope people understand.
You know, it's kind of, you know, it's weird, Stan, because it's like not all white people think the same. Why don't all black people think the same?
I would imagine, you know, people tend to group and tend to think that that's the case. But it's but it's really not. You know, people are individuals, you know, collectively tell you the truth. We're all Americans. So truthfully, and so we all need to stop the bull. You know, we're all Americans. Let's just stop the crap. It's really ridiculous, you know.
And because let me tell you, had that been had that scenario been reversed or would have been a big it would have been a, you know, that would have been a big cabal, you know. And and, you know, it just seems like either way it goes. The race car is always pulled and that's always an issue.
You know, we, but you know what, Stan, I think that, you know, cause I, I said, I hope that, you know, what we're seeing are just a few NGOs and a few people, uh, that really don't get it. And I believe because there wasn't a big uprising yesterday in Texas, that that's not the way the black, the majority of the black community feels some do some don't. Um, but again,
You know, maybe we are getting past this. Maybe this is a sign that we're getting past it a little bit. Maybe a baby step in the right direction. Thank you, Stan. I appreciate it, especially hearing common sense coming out of New York City. You know, we have two knife attacks, and that's what everybody is talking about. And these knife attacks, we're not supposed to notice a pattern, I think.
We were just talking about in Texas, you know, Carmelo Anthony convicted of first-degree murder, 35 years for stabbing, verbal spat. We got it. Now, what happens next? Jury took two and a half hours. Evidence is clear. But across the ocean, there is another knife attack that everybody's talking about. Happened in Belfast. That's Northern Ireland.
Just days ago, I don't know if you saw it, it was horrible, June 8th, a 30-year-old Sudanese asylum seeker, they're still not sure where he's from, but he was charged with attempted murder after a brutal knife attack on a local man in his 40s, Stephen Ogilby. We have the video of him now on the ground just hacking at this guy's throat. It is horrible.
Straddling the guy on the ground, slashing his head and his neck, trying to hack his head off. Victim lost his left eye, suffered devastating wounds to his face, his neck, and his back. He's still fighting for his life in the hospital. He's not dead yet. Now, so what happened? Well, I think you're starting to see the Bubba effect in Ireland. Protests are up all across Belfast.

Chapter 4: What are the alarming statistics about loneliness among younger generations?
Some immigrants are, you know, they're not Muslim. They're not from Africa, whatever. And they were standing outside going, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Doesn't matter. You've enraged the mob. And the world wants to talk about isolated incidents and then far-right group unrest. Let me tell you what's really happening here. Everything you're seeing, these are horrors.
They're downstream from progressive policies that have weakened our kids, erased our borders, erased our history, erased common sense, and punished anybody who dares notice the consequences. We here in America have raised generations now without any clear identity. I'm going to get into this next hour. You've got to listen to next hour.
No moral guidelines, no self-control, no personal responsibility. Race has been weaponized by politicians to divide us instead of uniting us under one creed. Kids don't know who they are anymore. So a disagreement over a seat in a tent escalates immediately to murder. We have sown entitlement, we have sown grievance, and we're now reaping the knives in schools and parking lots.
In Belfast, across the UK, Europe, same globalist mindset opened the floodgates. Diversity is our strength. Since when? Unity is our strength.
Coming together, even though we're diverse people, coming together under one principle, that's a strength. Imagine having an army and going, you know what? These guys are all going to do whatever they want. They're all from different armies and they're all from different things. We're just going to let them do what they want. Diversity is our strength. They'd be slaughtered on the field.
Then the people who are preaching this garbage to us brand concerned citizens as racist for pointing out the obvious. You know, not every arrival comes to assimilate, to melt into Western society, to respect our laws and customs. Not every incident is about race.
We've seen the spikes in knife crime, grooming gangs, rapes, violence, authorities that downplay or deny and then accuse the people who are saying, wait a minute, this is my neighborhood, accuse them of being racist. And let me just talk about beheadings because I don't know the last time you saw somebody in the street trying to hack somebody's head off, but I looked it up.
England hasn't had beheadings since 1747. We weren't even a country. And the guy that they beheaded was executed for treason. So 1747 was the last time people were beheaded in Great Britain until the mass migration from certain Muslim majority countries brought the ideology and the blades with it. I have now seen in the last five years two people on the streets of England. One was beheaded.
He was a soldier. Gee, I wonder what that was. And now this one where they tried to cut the guy's head off. Gee. And the press is like, I don't know. We don't know the, we don't have a probable cause. Probable cause? Probable cause. We don't know the cause, but you don't know the probable cause? I know it was probably rooted in that guy's culture. Probable cause.

Chapter 5: What warnings does Glenn give about Graham Platner's candidacy?
This isn't about kindness. This is suicide. Suicide by compassion without any wisdom at all. What do you say we plant the flag deep in the heart of truth? Borders exist for a reason. Assimilation isn't optional. Here in America, self-control and moral clarity are not relics, they're survival. I mean, look how far we have fallen. Look at what our society has become over the last 20 years.
We weren't like this before. We were not like this. What has changed? Oh, I don't know. The progressive nonsense. And I think our children deserve a better future than knife fights. Our neighborhoods deserve better than imported tribal violence. Here's the good news. All of these things, they provide an opportunity for us to wake up.
When people see that guy on the street in Belfast where the guy is hacking at his neck, It provides a chance for everyone to wake up.
Chapter 6: How has the political landscape shifted with candidates like Platner?
Now, I think the people are awakened. People in Great Britain, they do not have a Martin Luther King example. They don't. Their example is Gandhi, but Gandhi used it against the English, so they're not really happy with Gandhi. They don't have that example. They only have Christ, and Christ is almost dead in Great Britain. There is no real church in Great Britain.
It's starting to revive a little bit. but it's on the ropes. These people are not going to go for a Martin Luther King. There is no understanding of that over there. If we can reject the division, we can restore real accountability, we can secure our homes, and remember who we are under God, then perhaps these tragedies are not going to be in vain. Because we can still choose life.
We can still choose order. We can still choose courage over chaos. You know, they're calling the one guy who stopped the beheading a hero. And I find that kind of sad. It's true. But there were a lot of people standing around just taping it with their phone. What do you say? You put the phone down. Now, I understand if it's one person, I get it.
But if there's lots of people standing around, why don't you, does no one say, hey guys, let's stop videotaping or you, you videotape so we have it on record and the rest of us, let's go stop that guy from being beheaded. Personal responsibility in all things. All we have to do is choose wisely. We haven't been doing that lately, but I think that time is coming quickly. The hour is late, America.
Choose wisely. We get fired up during the campaign season. We volunteer.

Chapter 7: What historical lessons can we learn from Athens about leadership?
We donate. We vote. And then when the election is over, we go back to our lives and assume the people we elected will handle the rest. How's that working out for us? The other side never stops. They don't take years off. They don't wait for the next election cycle. They understand that culture is shaped every day by the institutions, organizations, and businesses that receive our support.
And that is one of the reasons I talk to you about Patriot Mobile so often. Yes, they provide excellent wireless service. You get the coverage on all three major networks, unlimited data, mobile hotspots, international roaming, customer support right here in America. All of that stuff, it's better than with the big guys.
You can keep your phone number, keep your phone, get a new one, whatever you want. but they take a portion of their profits and they donate it to organizations that defend the values that help make this country great in the first place. So join me in this mission. Patriot mobile.com slash back nine, seven, two Patriot. Use the promo code back for a free month of service.
Patriot mobile.com slash back nine, seven, two Patriot. Make the switch today. Now back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So we heard about Carmelo and the stabbing.
We,
We've seen our society, our classrooms, our kids just start unhinging and self-mutilating and suicide and all of these things. What's happening to us? If you're a parent or a grandparent, I want you to listen carefully here. We are a people that have misplaced our own story. We have lost the thread of who we are and how we got here. Humans must have a story.
And the story they're being fed to replace that is just of grievance and anger and revenge. That's not healthy. Do yourself a favor. Ask somebody under 25. Heck, ask them under 30, 35. Tell me the American story. Most people can't do it. On the last national history exam, 13% of eighth graders came out proficient. 13. They're in school currently. 13.
4 in 10 couldn't clear the bottom bar, which was, we're going to set a document out in front of you. Tell us anything about it. They couldn't do it. And you can guess what those documents were, right? The civic scores fell for the first time since they started keeping record in 1998. We are raising a generation that cannot explain the country they're standing in.
And it's not just the story that is thinning out. It is everything that used to hold a person in place. Stories, your family, holds you in place. The church holds you in place. A church is used to anchor a town. Fewer than half of us now belong to a congregation. Gallup has its lowest measure since they started asking this question in 1937. Then, friendships. They used to hold you in place.

Chapter 8: How do societal changes impact the identity of younger generations?
Hang on just a second. Try to hold all of that in your head at once and then say, what do you think's happening to our kids? No shared story, emptied out churches, emptied out clubs, a friendship drought, A loneliness the doctors are calling a health emergency. Now picture being born into that. You don't know all the stuff that you've known in the past.
Picture that country being handed to you one day. You don't even know where you are. You have no map. You have no name for who your people are. There's no seat saved at any table for you. You just have a screen in your hand and a thousand strangers glad to tell you who you ought to be. That's the ground our kids are standing on. They didn't crack it. Don't blame them. They didn't crack it.
They inherited this. And it's exactly why out of everything I could talk about, I want to talk about them. because we all know stuff, but we may forget from time to time. Kids don't know who they are. They don't. We think they do, but try to remember all the things that you used to think about yourself. They're not supposed to know who they are at 19.
They're not supposed to know who they are at 16. Certainly not at 11, and that's how young this starts now. 11 is starting to be old. Identity is not something kids have. It's something that kids build piece by piece. And they build it after whatever is reflected back at them. Here's what's changed since we were growing up. When you and I were building ourselves, the mirrors were our friends.
Remember? What did your mom used to always say? Show me your friends, I'll show you your future. It was our friends. It was our family. It was a coach. It was a teacher. It was a pastor. Today, your daughter is 12 years old and she's holding a mirror in her hand eight or nine hours every day. More waking hours than she spends in any classroom or doing anything else. She's looking at that mirror.
It's actually worse than a mirror. The phone, the feed, the algorithm. the shows she watches, the influencers she follows, what she hears at school. This mirror is actually talking back to her, whispering the same question. This is who you are, right? This is who you are. This is who you are, right? Now, some of that noise is just noise. Company's trying to sell her things.
Fine, we grew up with that as well. But some of the voices reaching your kids, they are not random voices. Okay. You've got people who know exactly what they're doing. They have a vision for who your kid should become. They're patient. And they didn't ask your permission. They don't care about you.
I'm telling you, stop assuming that everything coming through that screen and that classroom door is neutral. It isn't neutral at all. So picture it. A kid, younger than you think, still under construction, swimming in a sea, an ocean of a thousand voices. And then one of those voices steps forward and offers the whole package. Finished identity. Here's who you are. Here's your people.
Here's your club. Here's what you stand for. Do you understand now how that lands? Why that lands with kids? Kids... The kid doesn't feel like they're joining something. They feel like they're finally becoming someone. That's the hook. Oh, you're going to join the club for, you know, because you're bi or you want to be trans.
