Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
We're living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about, how it came to be. And we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history. But that's not how it happened. That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now. This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was won.
Before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol. And it shows you the young man he really was. Not perfect, not polished, but somebody who was shaped by failures, hard decisions, and courage. And by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work. Great leaders are not created in comfort. They're forged when things are hard.
Chapter 2: Why is young George Washington important to America?
when stepping forward costs you something. With the 250th anniversary of America right around the corner, this is a powerful way to market. Take your family, take your kids, your grandkids, and connect them to the story that started all of this. See Young Washington in theaters July 3rd. Tickets available now, angel.com slash youngwashington.
This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Thank you so much for listening. I got to tell you, we are. We're living in an era where everything is being degraded and you are expected to say the ugly is beautiful and the beautiful is ugly. And I mean, I got story after story after story today showing that where everything is upside down.
We're going to start there here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Our fight against out-and-out socialism isn't over. Remind me that something else I want to talk about. What did Donald Trump say in his truth social yesterday? Oh, I've been waiting for the communists to do this. I can't wait. Just watch what happens. Well, I'm intrigued. Color me intrigued.
Especially, but don't do it during the pride playoffs with Egypt and whatever other Islamic nation that doesn't like homosexuality are playing in Seattle. Oh my God. Yeah, I got a lot on my mind today. Anyway, can I get back to the commercial for just a second? Living with pain in your life, it's horrible. It doesn't just hurt. It can sideline you. Relief Factor might be able to help you.
Try their three-week quick start. 800-the-number-4-relief. 800-the-number-4-relief. It's relieffactor.com. Go there now. All right, welcome to Friday. Let me... I want to start... on, you know, when I put a mission statement together or a statement of faith, if you will, for Torch, we talked about it at our meetings. Let's put something together that is meaningful. This is what I'm feeling.
How do we state that? So let me read this because I think this is what we should be like in your mission statement in life. Torch is dedicated to to the light of truth revealed by God, the moral law written on the hearts of men and affirmed in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
We seek to live and teach what is honest, virtuous, benevolent and pure, defending truth with courage, speaking it with integrity and serving others in love. We honor what is noble and enduring. We believe that character produces liberty, that virtue sustains civilization, and that faith gives life meaning and hope.
Whatever is righteous, excellent, or praiseworthy, we seek it, we elevate it, we embody it, so the light of truth may endure in our time and for generations to come. Let me ask you, is our country... seeking whatever is righteous, excellent, or praiseworthy? I would say definitely not. Definitely not. Do we elevate those things? Do we embody those things? I would say definitely not.

Chapter 3: What does Glenn Beck say about the current state of America?
You never said that about Ronald Reagan. Well, you might have said it about Ronald Reagan, but I wonder why. This reflecting pool has been a pain in the ass of every president since they built it. You know why? It's built on a swamp. It's hot and humid and it's a swamp.
So the thing has been settling and cracking for 100 years, and presidents keep having to dump millions of dollars into it because nobody wants to spend $100 million to do it right. So instead, we'll spend $15 million this term and another $15 million in that term, and we have to start from scratch every time. Fix the damn thing or not. No, he's a dictator because he wanted it blue.
He thought it shouldn't look green because everyone knows algae isn't pretty. Tell me the number of fine art paintings that you have ever seen where the ponds are full of algae and that's what you see. You'll see lilies. Nobody's painting algae. Look how beautiful that green scum is on the top of that lake. Isn't that beautiful? I just love that scum.
So you're being told to denigrate the beautiful, the pregnant woman, the clean water. And you're being told to uphold the ugly. And then you'll go in and you'll vandalize it. Why? Because he's a dictator. He's wasting money. So you'll take something that was fixed and you'll vandalize it because you're pissed that he's spending money and that's a waste. What the hell are you doing?
And that's not why you did it. You don't care. You really, you care about the waste of government money, do you? Can we talk about what's happening in Minnesota? Can we talk about what's happening in California? Can we talk about what's happening in red states too, where they're just setting your money on fire? You worry about a waste of money.
You wouldn't talk to us about just putting illegals up in hotels. No, no, no. You care. You care about the reflecting pool. Do you? Do you really? You couldn't give an F about anything in Washington, D.C. You'd tear it all down. You'd vandalize all of it. You'd graffiti over all of it. Don't tell me you care. Give it a rest. No, no, no, it's government waste. Uh-huh.
You know, when Donald Trump lived in New York, he fixed the ice rink. Because nobody could fix it. But New York went to him because he's a building genius. And he volunteered to fix it for free. And he fixed it. And they still skate on it every year. And New Yorkers used to love him because he did it.
But once he started exposing the deep state, oh, once you couldn't count on him to just be a businessman and play the game, oh, you have to. You'll have to say what an idiot he is. Yeah, yeah, I get it. And now we can't celebrate the 4th of July. We got to cancel all this 4th of July stuff. Do we? To hell with you, I'm not going to.
Honestly, I'd like to put a giant firecracker up your ass, quite honestly. You're going to cancel the 4th of July. Why is that? Because you can't find the beauty in the greatest document ever created. You have to get to a point to where you say all men are created equal.

Chapter 4: How are Supreme Court rulings impacting immigration?
I feel like I'm always yelling at you. I'm not yelling. I got to yell at somebody. What are these socialists doing? What are they doing? What are you doing to build the country? Well, I put a black box on my Facebook page. My Instagram, I had that black box up there within 20 minutes. Oh my gosh, did you go all that way to do that?
Man, you reached all the way into your pocket, got your phone, and then put a black box up. You are a patriot. Sit down, get a nap in today. I haven't even started because I haven't really, I haven't gotten to the things that really hack me off. We still have the Supreme Court. We have Hawaii. You're on my crap list. You've been on my crap list for a while, Hawaii. Yeah, stuff your aloha garbage.
Okay, back in just a minute.

Chapter 5: What insights does Glenn share about learning and storytelling?
reading and research to get all of this right and we've checked it and triple checked it so it's exactly right um and i've i've i mean i pull off look at it okay so i've been reading these scripts uh for a while and i'll pull a page out of the scripts um and i'll say oh i want to remember i want to remember this i want to remember this story i got to tell this story on the air I must have what?
What do you think that is? 50 pages? 50 different stories that I've pulled out from the 15 that I've already recorded of the 15 episodes. Probably 50 pages of stories. I'm never going to get to them. But of the stories I just want to tell you. Because they're so amazing and they're things that I learned.
And when you get excited yourself about learning, that's when your kids are going to get excited about learning. When you are learning stuff and you're like, I had no idea. And I say this to Nathan all the time. We'll be like, Nathan, that's true? That's what happened? And he's like, yes, Glenn. Yes, I've done my homework. Yes, that's what happened.
and I'm good at American history and I'm not, I'm learning stuff.
Chapter 6: What is the significance of the War of 1812 episode?
I'm amazed by it. And I want you to, I want you to listen to these. They are so good. Now they're coming out. Are we, this is for tomorrow, right? This is coming out just as a podcast.
Yes. The wide public gets episode 12 tomorrow, but if you're a torch insider, you get episodes one through 15 commercial free now and next month, a final five.
Okay. So that's on the torch and you get them all commercial free and you can listen to the whole thing. You know, if you just want to binge on them, if you're going for a long car drive, that is the thing to do. But you can get this episode tomorrow on the War of 1812. And you can get it with the commercials in it so you don't have to pay for anything. But it is really worth your time.
It is really, really good. Check it out. Join us. Torch 250. If you believe in our mission of educating and trying to inspire and uplift the stories and preserve the stories, I'm going to show you some pieces. I said yesterday, I said, could you pray for us on a couple of things? We're doing an auction tomorrow. And we did the auction yesterday.
And there were some amazing pieces of American history. I mean, I bleed remarkable. And I'm going to bring them in because we won them in auction. We lost one thing. But I think the Lord had somebody just, I think that somebody else that was probably wanting these things had to have been like, I don't know, they were vomiting for a second.
And then they got back to their computer and they're like, wait, wait, I missed it. Because, I mean, we sailed through and it was great.
And when I show you some of these artifacts next week, because some of them are about the founding of our country, one of them is, I mean, I won't believe that I'm actually holding it in my hands, but we're trying to preserve all of American history as much as we can and do exactly what is in that episode. We are taking them away from danger and
our, our collection is in three different vaults, uh, two in the sides of mountains, different mountains, uh, and one in our, uh, in our museum in Dallas, Texas. And that, that one holds about, I think it's 1% of the collection is in Dallas. If you've ever been to our museum and you've seen it and you've walked out after four hours, that's 1% of our collection. Um,
We want to make sure that history is taught and the truth is there based on the original documents. Not my opinion, not anybody else's opinion, the original documents. That tells the story.

Chapter 7: Why is there a growing concern about freedom of speech in the UK?
So if you believe in any of this and you want to join us and help us, please join Torch 250. Torch 250. You're going to get all kinds of specials this summer, especially if you're traveling with your kids or you want to teach your kids what it means to be an American, what the American story is. You want to learn it for yourself. You want to learn the Constitution.
You want to teach it to your kids or your grandkids. Torch250.com. Become a member now. Torch250.com. It's Friday. I want to talk to you about Independence Day and a governor canceling fireworks. How dare he? Next. One of the things I love about Christianity is that it's never been a faith that stops at feeling. It's a faith that requires you to do. When somebody is hungry, we feed them.
When somebody is hurting, we help them. When somebody is being persecuted, we stand beside them. Right now, our Jewish brothers and sisters all over the world, not just in Israel, are living through extraordinarily difficult times. I mean, I honestly, I can't imagine what it feels like to be Jewish now
when you see the hatred that is growing on our left here in America, but it's all over the world now. And you got to be thinking, if you're Jewish, you got to be thinking, oh dear God, this is not happening again, is it? Hopefully not. And if it does, I pray there are Christians who will stand up.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they give Christians here in America a real opportunity to put their faith into action by helping provide food and shelter and medical care and everything else that people who really need it, even just standing up and saying, I support your right to live and not be hunted. I want you to go to flagpinifcj.com, flagpinifcj.org. Sorry about that.
Get your flag pin today and join the fight. I want to talk to some people that might be a little misguided on something. Because I read a story today about how, you know, there's people that are canceling the 4th of July. Mamdani is canceling the 4th of July festivities in New York. And it's happening all over the country. And that's a real problem.

Chapter 8: What are the differences in freedom of speech between the US and the UK?
That is a real, real problem. But a governor came out yesterday. And some people are confusing. And I'm not a fan of this governor at all. It's Governor Cox of Utah. Not a fan. But he came out yesterday and he said, we're going to ban fireworks. And people are making this into, see, I told you, he's the mastermind behind destroying America. No, no, he's not canceling the 4th.
He's not canceling the country. You know, it's not a war on America, you know, with a bottle rocket. He's the governor and a Republican. And I guess the line that set everybody off was, this is not big government. This is life or death stuff. Because he came out and said, and people are saying, well, that's just big government getting involved. No, no, no, no, it's not. No, it's not.
I don't live in Idaho. I mean, I don't live in Utah. I live in Idaho. And I don't know, I'm 30 minutes away from the border of Utah. And you go outside of my house today and it looks like it's foggy. And then you breathe in and you're like, that's smoke. Because there's a fire in Utah, six hours away. If you're living in Connecticut...
Now, imagine you can drive 80 miles an hour and you're not stop and go traffic. You're driving 80 miles an hour and you could drive 80 miles an hour for six hours in the east. What state are you in if you're living in Connecticut? What state are you in? You're at least in Virginia, okay? That's how far this fire is. And I have the smoke up at my house, okay? Kind of a big deal.
Kind of a big deal. Six hours away. Six hours in the West is still kind of close to home. You know what I mean? My daughter was doing something. We drove six hours to see her in a couple of shows for a couple of weekends in a row. And I was like, yeah, it's in St. George. And they're like, oh, that's not that bad. And I'm like, it's six hours each way. Out West, it's not like that.
In Connecticut, you have to understand, in Connecticut or Washington, D.C., it's so hot and humid, and it kind of works for you. You can light a match in a forest in Connecticut in July, and it will land in the moss and then kind of apologize. I'm sorry. I don't even know what I was thinking here. This part of the country, you see it every year in California, the fires that happen here.
Because it gets so hot and dry out here. A spark doesn't start a campfire here. It starts a chapter in the history books. We had a train in Idaho just last week, I think it was, that one of the wheels was sparking as it was going down. And I'm sure that happens all the time. But for like three miles before they stopped the train, it was setting the sides of the train tracks on fire.
And so they had water trucks everywhere to stop this. Thank God. But these are not small fires. Utah has burned more than 141,000 acres just this season. To give you some perspective on that, on June 17th, that number was 13,000. Now it's 141,000. The Iron Fire, which just happened, one of the blaze, 30,000 acres before they could put it out. And you have no idea how big this forest land is.
I mean, think about the state of Utah. This is just one of these states. They're all like this out west. The state of Utah, 64% of it, the entire state, 64% of it is owned by the federal government. And they're really not good caretakers of the land, okay? They're really not. So 64% is federal land. So those are forests. Now, how big is that?
