Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Today's podcast, the best of the Glenn Beck program, we've got a few things. The 7% that makes the difference. America's in real, deep trouble. There is a change that has happened. We are in a new phase, and it started on Tuesday. It announced itself on Tuesday. And that change is the purging of the Democratic Party with socialists. Diehard socialists. So... The game is changing.
And I'm going to ask you to do a few things that you're not going to want to do. Just not going to want to do. And you're going to think it's not going to make a difference. Well, it will make a difference. Because every person makes a difference. And if you don't believe me, I want to tell you. You know, if you're in school, you learned about the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Uh-huh.
Did you ever hear about the Cesar Rodney midnight ride? No.
No.
This is an amazing story filled with incredible flesh-eating disease. And it ends with the Declaration of Independence because one man made the difference. Also, I like to look at the stories that we give you every day in our newsletter and say, okay, out of these, can I find five stories that seem to be disconnected?
but are not disconnected that teach a universal principle, because I believe the news is screaming at us every day. Hey, dummy, learn this principle. Hey, dummy, you want to know why things are happening? Learn this principle. So what are the five stories that are disconnected that I can connect and show you what the news is screaming you need to learn? All that and more on today's podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I mean, is this really necessary? I mean... Not really making friends with people in Capitol Hill at all. Thune the ball-less rhino. I don't think... Okay, let me just tell you. In a few minutes... Okay. What's happening on Capitol Hill is really important.
What I'm going to tell you in a few minutes is even more important, but they relate to one another. We've entered a new chapter in this fight, and it is an end phase chapter, and it's going to require us to do things that none of us want to do, to take stands that will make us uncomfortable and unpopular. But this is the beginning.
This is where we separate the Sunshine Patriots and the Winter Soldiers. This is the first step into finding out who you are in the grand scheme of things.

Chapter 2: What untold story does Glenn share about Caesar Rodney?
But before I do that, I just want to, I want to empower you with some information, how one person makes a difference. And even though you might not get recognized for a long, long time, even though you don't think it makes a difference, one person can change the world. You know about Paul Revere, you know, the poem, listen, my children, and you shall hear the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
Okay, that was important. Nobody wrote a poem about Caesar Rodney. Nobody. And I believe his ride mattered more. He took a midnight ride. In fact, he took an all-night ride all night. It's an unbelievable story. It was the 1st of July, 1776. It was Philadelphia, hot room, the windows. I believe they actually nailed the windows shut, but I could be wrong on that.
I know they locked the windows so nobody could eavesdrop, okay? And independence, it was coming to a final vote. 13 colonies had to decide one by one whether to become a country or remain subjects to the king.
And to do that, as the men stood in their wool, imagine the stench of this room, as they stood in their wool coats and their wool stockings and wool underpants, everything else, with all the windows closed in a hot, humid Philadelphia July, they needed to be united and they kept going over and voting. And a divided vote would tell the most powerful empire on earth,
I know exactly how I can get these guys. I'll drive the wedge right here. So they needed all 13 colonies together or the whole enterprise would just be a squabble and not a nation. So Delaware was deadlocked. They were the last one. They had three delegates. Two of them were in the room and they cancel each other out. Thomas McKean was for independence with his whole heart.
George Reed was against. He wasn't a coward, not a villain. He was just thought, I think this is too far, too fast. So one yes, one no. Delaware split. Can't happen. Third delegate was 80 miles away. And so you know, 80 miles away in the day was a long way. Final vote was going to happen tomorrow. Caesar Rodney was at home in Dover. He was the third delegate. Delaware needed him there as well.
He was a brigadier general of the militia. He was there to put loyalist trouble down. The guys, they didn't do just one job. They weren't just, I'm a member of Congress, and I do well. That's all I do. No. So he was down in Kent County. He was doing his duty in one place, and his duty called for him in another place. Now, here's what you need to know about Caesar Rodney.
It's amazing that he got on this horse, okay? He was dying. He had cancer, skin cancer on his face. And this is before you could treat it. You just died after the skin cancer eats you alive, okay? It had been eating his face for years, disfiguring him. It was so disfigured that he wore a green silk scarf to cover what it had done. John Adams, and this...
You might laugh at this at first, but don't. John Adams, he was a pretty sharp guy, described him as, quote, the oddest looking man in the world, tall and thin as a reed, pale, and his face, I'm quoting, no bigger than a large apple because it had all been eaten away, okay? But Adams said, there's sense and fire and a spirit and wit in that ruined face that all should hear, okay?

Chapter 3: How is socialism gaining popularity in America?
I was detained by thunder and rain, but I had enough time to give my voice in the matter of independence. That was it. That was the whole boast. Enough time to give my voice. Understand what that voice cost him, what it risked. First, every man who voted yes was now in the eyes of King George committing treason. So there was a rope.
They were signing a warrant for their own hanging if the war went the wrong way. Now, maybe his head was so small he thought maybe. I don't know. But he rode through the storm against his doctor's orders, death already growing on his face, to make himself a traitor to the crown because his vote was the difference. He never married. The woman he loved turned him down. It's a really sad story.
He spent the rest of his life in public office. It was very short. He was in and out of the militia. He governed Delaware through the war, and he only lasted another eight years before cancer finally took him. For a long time, history almost forgot this guy.
There are stretches where we as a people came close to scrubbing his name entirely off the square until he was put on a quarter, and still people don't really know the story. But he should be one of the names you teach your children because Cesar Rodney is the answer to the laziest lie in a free society, a lie that says it doesn't matter if I show up. It doesn't matter if I vote.
I'm just one of many. What's one vote? What's one voice? What difference does one tired person make? I'm tired. I'm sick. I can't make it.

Chapter 4: What warning signs indicate a shift in the Democratic Party?
He was the difference. That person is always the difference. The Republic doesn't run on grand gestures of famous men. It runs on whether the unglamorous, half-broken, bone-tired person whose turn it is to decide gets on the horse. It runs on the committee that nobody wants to chair, a meeting that nobody wants to go to, a vote that is like, I don't have, I've got bigger things to do.
The duty that lands on you at the worst possible moment when you have every reasonable, good excuse to stay home. Caesar Rodney had every excuse. He didn't use any of them. We have our country today because that sick, bone-tired, and dying man showed up. On the night his body was storming. You're the only one that will make a difference. The only one that will make a difference.
And I'm going to show you what you're facing. Because I haven't heard anyone say this. But Tuesday changed everything. We're in a new chapter in America. And I was hoping it was a chapter that wasn't going to come. You've been feeling it coming. You've been seeing the warning signs. But now that it's here, I don't even know if you can put your finger on it. But I can because I know history.
And so I'm going to put my finger on it and I will identify what happened this week. It's a new chapter. And if everyone isn't willing to get on their horse right now, And do the things you don't want to do. The things you don't think will make a difference. The things, what's one voice? We lose. We lose. This is the approaching moment. I'll share that with you here at the top of the hour.
Chapter 5: What role did Caesar Rodney play in American independence?
So the beginning of hour number two. More to tell you about the news and some cleanup on some stuff that we talked about this hour. Coming up next, stand by. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Okay, I told you that on Tuesday, the Democratic Socialist America machine swept three New York congressional primaries on a 17% turnout. Now, let me give you a fresh perspective on this.
The winning coalition was small. It was white. It was affluent, writing soft, traditional minority support. By one count, it took roughly 7% of eligible voters to do this. That's not a wave. That's a rip current under the calm surface. Washington, D.C.
is set now to add a socialist member, Janice Lewis George, to a growing list of socialist-run big cities alongside New York, Seattle, Los Angeles is possibly next. The DSA now says, now listen to this, the Democratic Socialists of America, how many members do they have? They have about 100,000 members right now, roughly 250 people already in office, and 90 candidates running in the 2026 cycle.
90. Four of America's biggest cities and an org chart most people have never looked at once. At Claire Valdez's victory party, this happened on Tuesday night, when Hakeem Jeffries appeared on television. With her at the victory party, the young crowd, mostly white, chanted, you're next, you're next, you're next. Not at a Republican. At the leader of the Democratic House.
Okay, the Democratic Party House leader. What does that tell you? Here's how revolutions always happen, except for the American Revolution. We're the only ones that didn't end in guillotines, bloodshed, purges, concentration camps. We're the only one.
Because what revolutionaries usually say is they pick a party that will tolerate them, and they'll say to themselves, we just need to get around these people. Let's just look like these people, get around them, because they're slowing us up. That's what happened beginning in 2004 with the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Socialists started getting in and they're like, no, no, no, we're not Democratic Socialists. I don't know what you're talking about. We're Democrats. We believe all the things. Well, we love the Constitution in America. OK, they started infiltrating because we got to get around these people. Then the next thing they say is we got to get rid of these people.
That's what's happening right now. This is a big shift. Once they have the clout, they say, we got to get rid of these people because they're standing in our way. And all of the Democrats that thought they could placate these people and thought they could use them, I told you from the beginning, they're not. You're not using them. They're using you.
Now, it's we got to get rid of these people because they're slowing us down. In the end, if they actually get power, that becomes we got to get rid of these people. We have to kill these people. We have to put these people in re-education camps. We have to silence these, whatever it takes, because they're slowing us down. That's what's coming.

Chapter 6: What does Glenn Beck say about the consequences of half measures?
We have to close that famed golden door for a while. And I've never felt that way. I always have welcomed immigrants. But when you have people who are now coming in and they're becoming citizens, even those who have come in with their family and done it legitimately, but now we find out are absolutely un-American. And I don't mean... I disagree with the American.
I mean, they are openly stating, I am here to overthrow the United States of America. That's sedition. That's sedition. Um, and it cannot be tolerated because we're in a different situation. Now, these are not just people who are like, you know what? And I want to have a conversation about that with a college professor and we'll have a round table about it.
No, these are now people that are taking up arms against the United States. They are working with some of our biggest enemies in the United States and they are going to collapse us if we don't pay attention. So it's going to be a hard conversation to have, and some people won't want to hear it. I think a lot of people will want to hear it, but it is the truth.
No immigration, none, until we get this fixed. Because it is broken and it is weakening us. We have to deport people. If you're here and you are holding radical views of any kind, out. Get the hell out. If you are not here to make America stronger...
out i'm sorry but what was right for the president's mother when she came through i have a job i can support myself i'm not going to live on the dole if you can't do that get out we are in trouble and it is time for somebody just to say it and donald trump has been saying it since the first time he came down that escalator and i disagreed with him at the time i don't anymore i don't anymore
