Like, I don't know how these people are even in the running. Crazy audio from his competitor. And pushing back on the idea that Antifa is just like the Boston Tea Party. I'm going to share some facts about history that you've never heard before as we get ready for the no kings demonstrations from the Democrats all across the country.

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck program. Megyn Kelly, who I would describe in the past as journalist, one of the best journalists out there, still a journalist, but now kind of a media titan and host of the Megyn Kelly show. Hello, Megan. How are you? Hello, my friend. I'm great. How are you doing? I'm good, I'm good. Anxious to be with you. What is it? Next Saturday we're going to be together here in Texas. Fort Worth, baby. Let's do this thing. Could you get a bigger arena? Have you ever been to the Tickey's Arena? No, I can't wait to see it. Yeah, well, there's a lot of it. There's a lot of it. But we're going to be together and tickets are still available and grab your tickets now. I would like to know a couple of things. First of all, I'm going to be making a pretty big announcement, breaking some news with you because you're a journalist and everybody goes to you for these things. But I'm going to be breaking some big news. And then what else? I'm only asking this because I just got off. you know, one of the shows for Charlie Kirk and the audience kind of threw me for a loop. I was answering her questions. I didn't even, I've never even pondered before, Megan. Well, I mean, I think we're going to be doing some Q&A with the audience, too. And I'm looking forward to that because I think what I've been hearing from a lot of folks commenting on our social media feeds is they'd love to interact. And so I thought, maybe we'll kick it off with just Q&A and have people have their say and then we can do our interview and all that. But like, my goal overall is just to make it a good time. You know, I think people, if you're going to go out on a Saturday night, you want to have fun. You know, you want to keep it upbeat. There's so much to make fun of. Well, I'm good at that. I'm with you on that. I'll be there all day long on that. You know, and it's like with this administration, which has a very healthy sense of humor and the bizarre attacks going, I mean, did you just see the Bradley Whitford thing on the view just yesterday saying there are internment camps going on right now in the United States? Are there really? What?

actively out there protesting against the president. And we're still going to have anyone in corporate America pretend that you are just this impartial arbiter that's worried about a civil rights issue as you're out there marching against the sitting president with with people like Bradley Whitford who are claiming intermit camps. I mean, the mask is completely off. They've already been defanged thanks to Trump and, you know, his. active pushes through executive orders and otherwise against this DEI agenda. But that's who's going to be out there, the move on crew. How long does this have to go on? How long does this go on? How long do we need? the government and control of the government before it's crushed. The spirit of us is crushed. I know people will always believe some of this crazy stuff, but, you know, the whole delusion that we were all living under for a long time, it seems to be over or at least dying. How long before it's dead? We need two terms of JD Vance. post-Trump we need yeah we we we can't like as much of a miracle worker as Trump is he can't get it done in four years and we've learned from him how to do it and that it's working I mean just yesterday there was a headline about the yet another hospital this one in Boston shutting down the puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for anyone under age 19 because Trump is defunding these hospitals that continue to provide that. I mean, it's amazing. He did that via executive order. So, you know, going three years without those. so-called services is great. But if you go an extra aid on top of that without them doing this and then we see the difference in our youth who are growing out of their gender dysphoria, this is just one example, the case will be so much stronger for never bringing this barbarism back again. And same with DEI. That's dying of fast death. Every day you open the paper and you see more stories, sob stories on the left. about yet another DEI program that's been eliminated, and now these people have no... nothing to do with their useless degree that they got from Brown University or NYU or Harvard. And so if we have, you know, another, let's say, you know, three plus eight, when we go 11 years without people getting hired for these roles, the programs get eliminated at the universities. No one wants to major in something that's not saleable after the fact. So it does take time. And Trump has gotten us a jumpstart on it all, but yeah, it could be undone if we lose in 28.

Megan, I think you're referring to the numbers we were just kind of discussing that there does seem to be a fall off, a decrease since 2023 of people who are identifying as, you know, LGBTQQIA 2 plus. Is this a sign that it was a social contagion? And do you think the drop off is real or just a temporary thing? Well, first, I think we have to give a shout out to Justin Trudeau for leading the way and dating Katie Perry and abandoning his earlier obvious confusion. That lesbian love that he's got, I didn't know that he was a lesbian. Exactly. I mean, honestly, I can't think of a man on earth. I'd rather sleep with less than Justin. I'm sorry. I'm, you know what? I'm with you on that and Katie Perry, too. I mean, I'm like, Katie Perry's not somebody. No, thank you. I mean, obviously, she's the dominant one in that relationship, but I'll just leave it at that. But, yeah, no, that was great news. But when I read that reports to do, I was so... You know, encouraged, of course, because I love to see those numbers fall. I mean, it's just absolutely awful what we've been doing to children. Yes. But I also feel so sad for the ones who got sucked in. You know, I got sucked into trends where we wore forensic v-neck sweaters and long pearls that we tied in a knot. These kids are getting sucked into trends where they're having double mastectomies or huge portions of their forearm cut out and tried to be built into a fake phallus. And they will never have sexual enjoyment, never have sexual function. They will live the rest of their lives, deformed and obviously manipulated hormonally to where you can tell what they've done with the voice and so on. And, you know, I just can't imagine. Like, they'll be sterile. The vast majority of them are sterile. They'll never have children. These girls will never breastfeed their babies if they ever wind up having them if they, you know, overcome the odds. So it's like... Great. Well done, Democrats and barbaric doctors and hospitals. You got a bunch of money. You worked out your woke bona fides on a bunch of 15-year-olds who will now have to walk around with the scars of your practice. You decided to practice on them for the rest of their lives. The only solution here is massive lawsuits. Huge, devastating lawsuits against the people who did this. I have to tell you, I'm watching Canada, what's happening with Maid up in Canada, and it's becoming barbaric up there. I mean, we are probably five more years of, you know, full, you know, just full sprint out the way we were going. Maximum 10 before we were in really, really scary, you know, 1930s kind of territory. I think there's going to come a time where people, hopefully,

History books will, you know, we'll see these shows where all of these transgender people and everything else and it was all this woke stuff. This time period is going to just be this weird time capsule that people hopefully will look back and go, what the hell happened to society? What were people thinking? You're so right, Glenn. Because you remember like 10 years ago, sometimes people would ask that question. You know, what will we look back at that we're doing now in a way we look back at lobotomizing people and say, gosh, that was horrible. And the conventional wisdom 10, 15, 20 years ago was the way we treat animals, like the slaughter of animals for human consumption. Yeah. Boy, has that changed. I mean, in just a short amount of time, it's switched to the mutilation of healthy children. For what? Truly, at the hands of their own parents who are working out their mental issues on their children. It's like, and maybe they don't know because the left doesn't tell them. You don't read about this in the New York Times that 90 plus percent of these children will grow out of any gender confusion. But you have every doctor that you would, you have every doctor that you would go to saying you are a, you are going to kill your child if you don't. And there's a lot of people that are just, they don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. No, and on top of that, so the same doctors are saying your child is going to kill himself unless you let them do this. And then you seek out a doctor just for your child to have individual consultations with. And they're being told by all the medical societies, the only proper standard is to affirm. You may not explore any other mental issue with the child claiming gender confusion. So these psychiatrists and psychologists have their hands tied now. by their licensing organizations. We just had a case go up to the Supreme Court last week out of Colorado where they tried to actually pass a law. They did pass a law saying you may not say anything other than affirm. I affirm. In fact, we're making it now a violation of law for you to try to explore whether the kid really is gender confused. You just have to affirm his delusion. or you committed, quote, conversion therapy on him. That case is, that law is going to get struck down. It actually could be a 90 ruling. But, I mean, that's how crazy we've gotten and are still crazy. So I think you mentioned this, Glenn, in the past five years, we lost our minds on race and gender. I think the tide has turned more dramatically on race than it has on the gender mania still, and that Colorado law is just one example of that, but it's happening.

I mean, I feel heartened that it's happening. I do too. I do too. Megan, thank you so much. Megan and I are going to be together at the Dickies Arena on next Saturday, the 25th of October. You can get tickets at Megyn Kelly.com. I can't wait to take the audience questions. I can't. I can't wait for you to unveil the big announcement. I'm excited for this. Okay. Good. Well, we'll talk next Saturday. Thanks a lot, Megan. Appreciate it. You bet get your tickets now at Megyn Kelly.com. Megyn Kelly.com. It's going to be a lot of fun. Saturday night, she's right. It's going to be a lot of fun. The world has gotten safer. It hasn't gotten safer. It's just gotten closer. You know, every trail, every front door, every late night run reminds you that safe just isn't given anymore. And while some people choose to carry lethal force and have every right to do so, there's a growing number who just, want something that will stop the threats that's legal everywhere. My son or daughter at 18 can carry it. And that is the Burna compact launcher. It comes in a non-lethal CO2 powered launcher that fits in your hand like confidence itself. It looks just like a gun. You can get it with the orange or just all black. But it fires pepper or kinetic projectiles also tear gas. And it will disable an attacker long before they get to you close, giving you time to escape, call for help, control the situation without turning it into a tragedy. Legal in all 50 states, no permits are required, and it is simple to operate and store safely. Berna is not about fear. It's about options, responsibility, and preserving life. Sometimes the difference between panic and peace of mind is. having the right tool at reach, go to Burna, B-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. Burnah.com slash Glenn. Now, back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It's Thursday. Jack Ciattarelli is with us. He is running for governor in New Jersey. A lot of people are very optimistic. It is close. And he's joining us now. Hello, Jack. How are you? Great, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. You bet, you bet. So how are you feeling about this? You know, Glenn, I tell people, I only have 2,0,0 to compare this to when we came Oso Clause. I really felt we're going to win that race, but this time feels very different. The energy is electric all around the state. The reception of my minority communities has been off the charts. And when you're being endorsed by prominent Democrats from all around the state, it says how badly people want change and how much they're willing to vote for me. So I'm feeling very good. We'll finish strong over these 18 days. And I really do believe we're going to. deliver a win for New Jersey. So what is the biggest thing you can do? Because New Jersey has been a suckhole for a long time. And, you know, I can't imagine living in New Jersey, just like I can't imagine living in New York, with all of the taxes and the regulations. And, you know, especially after COVID what happened, how are you going to change that?

With leadership, Glenn, I mean, we've got a bloated and inefficient state government. I will reduce its size and cost to afford a tax cut for our individuals and our businesses, both of which are the most overtaxed in a nation. Our tax rates are the highest in a nation. What? So we've got to fix that. Oh, yeah. More than California? In New York? Listen, our business tax is 11 and a half. That is the highest in the nation. Our top tax bracket for individuals is 11. And when you combine that with our highest in nation property taxes, our individuals face the highest overall tax burden in the country. More than half the state feels that we're heading the wrong direction. Two out of three are looking to leave as soon as they can. That's not the state I want to be governor of. We need to fix that. We will by reducing the size and cost of our state government and affording the tax cut. You guys also have ridiculous green energy stuff up there. Ridiculous. I mean, this governor shut down six different electricity generation plants, put a moratorium on natural gas, fire, electricity generation, didn't expand nuclear, didn't accelerate solar on the rooftops of all the warehouses that have gone up, and then bet it all, Glenn, on wind. Bet it all on wind, and it's caused the markets to crash, and the monthly electric bill is going through the roof. So I reverse all that on day one by pulling out of Reggie. That's a carbon tax policy. That's costing New Jersey in $300 to $500 million a year. I reduce rates on day one by pulling out of the regional greenhouse gas initiative, a carbon tax policy. Even the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania is out of Reggie. We need to be out too. Can you bring those plants back online or did they dismantle? Absolutely. No, no, no. I can repurpose them, reopen them. I'll lift the moratorium on the existing plants. that are burning natural gas that are at 50% capacity. We need to get them up to 80% or 90%. I'll put a shovel on the ground on a fourth nuclear reactor, Talt Jersey. I'll accelerate solar on the rooftops of all these warehouses have gone up. There's no NIMBY issue with that. And we'll produce electricity again. You know, when Phil Murphy took off as Glenn, we were an exporter. Today we have to import it through these exchanges because we're not producing enough. And it's really hurting our business interests, not to mention the monthly budget for homeowners and tenants. I just had somebody on yesterday talking about electricity. I mean, we're in deep trouble with it. Do you have any server farms moving to New Jersey? Well, we're losing the data centers to Pennsylvania right now. Governor of Pennsylvania is burning coal, burning natural gas, just opened up a new nuclear reactor. He's an exporter of electricity. And we're losing a whole lot of business. I mean, industry used to just look at taxes and regulations. New Jersey sucks in both of those areas. But making matters worse, we have the highest electricity bills in a nation. And it's all because of the failures of the current policy. And my opponent... She supported all those policies and is doubling down on offshore wind, which New Jerseyans do not want. And where do you stand on, you know, the sanctuary state policies? That's executive order number one, Glenn. We're getting rid of the immigrant trust directive. It was never codified by the legislature, so I can get rid of it by executive order. And what is that?

Yeah, the Immigrant Trust Directive, that means when I repeal that on day one by executive order, no town in our state will be a sanctuary city and we will not be a sanctuary state. That only encourages illegal immigration and really handcuffs our local police in number of different ways. We want safe communities. We're getting rid of sanctuary cities and we will not be a sanctuary state. You're going to be able to do this with, you know, all of the baggage and all of the, you know, the Democratic, you know. framework and Democrats in the rest of the state, you're going to be able to pull this off? Two things, Glenn. A number of things that Phil Murphy did wrong were done by executive order, never codified by the legislature, so I don't need to go through the legislature. I can reverse it by executive order, but let me say this. In 2021, when I almost won, I flipped eight seats in the state legislature, and that was within my face. I got some wind at my back this time around. We can flip 13 seats, and when we do that, we get a Republican majority in our state legislature. Tell me the problems with your, do we have this audio yet, Sarah? We have the audio? I just heard some audio that is making the rounds now of your challenger, where she's tripled her net wealth while she was in Congress, now worth $10, I think $10. something million. You know, all these people go to Washington, they get rich. She was asked a question on a friendly interview. about, you know, did you make, you know, seven million dollars as being reported? And she said, I don't know. I'd have to check. Who doesn't know if they made seven million dollars? Exactly, Glenn. Come on. And we're not talking about tripling net worth going 100,000 to 300,000. She went from 4 million to 11 million and can't answer the question. She did break federal law. We know that on stock trades and stock reporting as a congresswoman. And the New York Times reports that while she's sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, she's trading defense stocks. She said she's not doing that. The New York Times said that she did, and she violated federal law, and she's never proved otherwise. She hasn't given us any documents to prove otherwise. And listen, this is on top of the fact that while at the Naval Academy, she was punished. She wasn't allowed to walk in graduation. Her name's not listed in the commencement exercise program. She was caught up in the cheating scandal of the early 1990s. Oh, my gosh. And not to mention the fact that she's lying left and right about my policy positions. So there's really an issue of character here.

And I think she needs to come clean on what happened to her at the Naval Academy and come clean. And now it is she tripled her net worth in only six years' time in Congress. I just want you to hear this audio. In case you haven't heard this, you're not in New Jersey. This is crazy audio. Listen. And it said that you took $30,000 from Elon Musk's campaign fund and that you made millions on the stock market tripling your net worth while you were in Congress and you were fined for unreported trades. What do you say to that? I, we don't trade individual stocks. I don't think anyone in Congress should, quite frankly, and I've been on legislation for that. So I've, I don't hold individual stocks. So when Newsmax claims that you made $7 million from stock trades, what are they talking about? I'm not sure what they're talking about. It's not as if I go sit on the House Armed Service Committee and suddenly I'm trading Boeing or something. Well, did you make $7 million in stock trades at all? I haven't. I don't believe I did, but I'd have to go see what that was alluding to. Again, what kind of came from. It was a report in the... No, I know it's from Newsmax. Then another one in the Washington Free Beacon. They said you had increased from between 733,209 to over $4 million in 2019, and then between $4 million to $13 million in 2024. So that's what they got to $7 million increase. They averaged out that, yeah. Look, I, I, um, both my husband and I come from very middle class families. Hold on, I just want to be clear, though. I just want to be clear because this, this ad is running. And I'm sure you'll be asked about this a million times. You know, if you get an opportunity to just clear it up, I think you should take it now. It says she made millions on the stock market, tripling her net worth while in Congress and was then fined for unreported trade. True or false? So. I think we made money and paid a fine for that. Because again, I don't want anybody to think that. Stop. This, I mean, when you can't answer, when your answers all start with. Look, you're dead in the water. I mean, you're just dead in the water. Jack, good luck. I mean, you know, you are in New Jersey and it's like Virginia, you know, they're revealing, you know, hey, we can just go kill children and they're still doing well. I don't know what's happening to our society, but I hope you can get in and turn this around because. We are a nation desperately in need of values and principles and common sense thinking.

Glenn, I'm with you. It's why I'm running. But I've got to tell you, we've never had a more ill-prepared, unqualified candidate who has disqualified herself numerous times. And that one example that you just provided is pretty compelling. I mean, how can you not answer these questions? But again, it's on top of the Naval Academy scandal in which he was punished. And even last week at the second debate, I mean, she accused me baselessly, recklessly, and I'm filing a defamation suit. of colluding with the pharmaceutical industry. And then we find out the next day through a New York Post expose. She was taking money from the very company she was accusing me of colluding with. So it's baseless, it's reckless, and we follow the defamation suit. Good, good. Best of luck, we'll be following you. If you want to get involved in Jack's campaign, you can go to his website, Jack, the number 4NJ, jack4N.com. Jack, I hope to have you on again as the governor of New Jersey. Well, I look forward to coming on as governor-elect, Glenn. So we'll see you even sooner. You got it. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. Jack Ciattarelli. Wouldn't that be, I mean, it would be amazing if we could get Sears in, we get Jack Ciattarelli in. Be really, not only really good for those states, but also a really good sign for 2026. You know, if, again, usually it's stacked against a party in power in 2026 in these midterm elections. And if you, if you could see with these states, these are, you know, blue-leaning states, it would send quite the message as we get close to that midterm. I'm not counting on either one of those. Yeah. I think this is a really, it's going to be very difficult. And, you know, but if everybody gets out and actually votes. You know, you can change. I mean, you could change the Eastern seaboard here. But it's going to require everybody to get out and vote because it's going to be close. And as Donald Trump used to say, you know, too big to rig. So 18 days away, I think. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

So is it enough to say no kings? Because that's the big movement from the left. They don't want kings. And they're saying Donald Trump is a king. Well, what is it you do want? I'm so tired of being against something. I want to be for something. So on my website, I've adopted something. And it's been a logo of mine forever. And it's, you know, it's. It's on my, you know, shirts and different things that I have personally forever. And it is a skull and skull and crossbones. But there's a crown that floats above the head of the skull. And this comes from colonial days when they would say no kings. But they followed that with no kings but Christ. meaning the only king they serve is Christ. Everybody else, and that's why there's the skull and crossbones, the leaders of the country are mortal. They die. They turn to dust. But the crown of Christ doesn't. And so my leader is really Christ. And I will have somebody lead us on earth, but I serve Christ, and I will always recognize they don't have the power of Christ. They're not gods. And so that changed everything in America because kings were considered to be appointed by God. And that changes everything. So when you say no kings, what exactly do you mean? By the way, you can get the no kings but Christ t-shirt and merchware at glenbeck.com you can shop now. They're really great. But anyway, it's important to ask, no kings but what? Well, they'll tell you a democracy. But a democracy gives you kings. It gives you dictators. It gives you authoritarians. We know this because that's why the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution the way they did. And these guys, unlike anybody who is around today, these guys studied this forever. And they were honestly looking for what is the best way we can get people to rule themselves? And they didn't do it. I mean, the reason why our declaration lasted as long as it did is because it starts with almost an apology. It starts like, look, we owe it to you, the king. We owe it to the people of earth. We owe it to God to say why we want to separate. That's the way it starts. It doesn't start with a list of demands. Unlike Antifa, it doesn't start with a list of demands. It starts with, look, you don't understand us. We've tried to explain this to you. But you really don't hear us. We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. You don't believe that as the king. You are more equal. You are appointed by God. But we believe God gives every man, certain rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You don't believe that. So they were explaining what they were trying to create. What is it that they're trying to create? What is it that you're hearing articulate that is a better idea than all men are created equal? What gets us closer to that? I haven't heard it. I've heard no kings. They don't want kings. And they want democracy. But they never go into what does that actually mean? And historically, what happens when you have a democracy? They fail every single time.

So now they go out and you have Antifa. Now let me tell you the difference between our founders and Antifa because, you know, our kids are being taught that, you know, what happened in the Boston Harbor in 1773 with the Boston Tea Party was the same that Antifa is doing. So let me tell you that story. Small band of colonists, they're farmers, their shopkeepers, they're artisans, and they board three ships under the cover of night. Now, they're not faceless anarchists. Their husbands, their fathers, their sons of liberty. And they're not out to burn their own neighborhoods. In fact, they're not out to burn the ships themselves. What they want to do is make a statement against the king that had refused to listen to them. And so their protest is very targeted, very deliberate, and very symbolic. They board the ships, and they actually go to the captain of the ship and say, our argument is not with you. We don't want to hurt the ship. We just want the T. And he says, look, you know, just let me deliver it on board. And then you can do whatever you want. We said, no, you can't. You can't deliver it. We don't want, we have to throw it from your ship. Because once it's delivered, then the taxes. And he's like, yeah, but then I have to get paid. I have to get paid. And so how do I get paid? And so they talked to him and he said, okay, if you throw it into the water and it's, it's, you know, an attack, then I can get the insurance money, right? They swept up the ship. After they put the T in, did you, have you ever been taught this? They swept up. They got the permission from the captain, unbeknownst at the time to the king, and they swept up. And it was nonviolent, completely nonviolent. Nobody was hurt, nothing was destroyed, except for the tea. And they dumped that in because the king was saying, you have to pay taxes on it. And they were like, no, we're not paying any more taxes. We don't have a voice at all. You don't listen to us. You just keep taxing us. So we're not taking your tea. They left, no looting, no torched businesses, no innocent cities, citizens bloodied in the streets. Property was destroyed, yes, but the destruction was purposeful, singular, squarely at the political grievance of taxation without representation, and nobody lost anything except for the insurance companies. Okay, now fast forward 250 years and look at what we have on the streets. The streets of Portland and Seattle are ablaze. Minneapolis, they set it on fire. Storefronts are smashed in their own communities. Federal courthouses are under siege. Neighborhoods turned into war zones. You have federal troops that are being attacked. These are not citizens demanding accountability from a king. They're saying no king. He's turning into a king. Well, is he? Is he? Because so far, everything that he's done, he's going through and you're trying to stop in the courts, and when the court overturns it, that's when he goes in. And he's doing it exactly the way the Constitution is asking him to do it. Now, these groups are flying the black flag of Antifa.

They are not bent on dismantling attacks, but the entire American system. The target's not representation. The target isn't, I want to be more free. The target is America itself. They are trying to destroy America itself. Our founders, so you know, they liked the king. They begged him. Please listen to us. They didn't want to be divorced from England. In fact, when we won the war, I think it was Hamilton who said, you should just be a king, and maybe we should just go back to the king because I think they learned the lesson. No. Here's the bright line here. The Boston Tea Party was all about restraint. It was the language of very last resort when every petition, every plea, every legal pathway had been slammed shut by Parliament. And Sam Adams himself said it's the last rational step. Do you see anything that's happening on the streets of Portland? And can you describe that as rational? Can you see anything that is happening when they're calling for, I want to see that politician's wife hold their babies as they die in her arms because they've been shot? Do you think that's rational? John Adams wrote, it is so bold, so daring, so firm, so intrepid, so inflexible, it must have important consequences. They wanted liberty. But they also wanted order and justice and the rule of law. Antifa, contrast, they don't want any of that. They're not seeking reform. They seek destruction. Their own manifesto declares it. It's abolished capitalism. Abolish police. Abolish the very republic that the guys in Boston were trying to build. One side is destroying. The Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, and they were making the symbolic strike against the British economic tyranny there. And they were doing it because they had to be able, for the ship's purposes and everything else, they had to be able to say it wasn't this. It was Native Americans, et cetera, et cetera. But everybody knew it was the Americans. They knew it was the Sons of Liberty. Antifa. is hiding behind masks, and these masks are to inflict terror on you to sow chaos. They target small business owners. People have to beg, don't burn my building down. Ordinary Americans who have nothing to do with their grievance, if you get onto their sidewalk, quote, their sidewalks, do you think the founders ever said that these were their sidewalks? And what's the result? The Tea Party led to a constitutional republic. It was designed with checks and balances, designed for ordered liberty, designed to protect the individual and their rights. It wasn't perfect. But what happens when you have Antifa? What does that leave behind? Shattered glass, boarded up windows, billions in damage, fear, chaos.

We're living in a point where we are really lucky to be alive. We're really truly lucky to be alive because we're being tested on who are you really. I've thought about this for a long, long time. My dad grew up in a relatively good place. He was at the end of World War II. He saw the moonshot. He saw all the great times of America getting stronger and stronger. Then he saw bad times and good times again. But generally, with an exception of that rough time in the 60s, he wasn't pushed up against the wall. He grew up in Seattle. We didn't have the race riots or anything else. And so he wasn't really pushed up against the wall ever in his life. And I wondered, I wonder who he would have been had he been pushed up against the wall. I think I know, but I don't for sure. You're pushed up against the wall every day. In everything you do, you're pushed up against the wall. What do you believe? What do you believe? Is that worth standing for? You're going to open your mouth. You're going to shut up and sit down. What are you going to do? And that's getting harder and harder to do. But history demands clarity.

And we're seeing that clarity now. The American Revolution was about creation. Antifa is about tearing down. One birthed the world's longest standing constitutional government by far. The average constitution in the world lasts 17 years. We're approaching 250. 17 years. That's what our founders created. What has Antifa or anybody else on the left, have they created anything that is lasting? Or is it all coming undone and more and more chaos? Think about it. We're going to heal the streets. We're going to reduce the cops. We're going to change. Has any of that worked? We're going to do transgender surgery. Has that worked with your kids? Are your kids getting better or worse? All the way along, is any of it worked? Is any of it going to be anything but ashes in the end? This is why we have to draw a very clear line, and you're going to see it this weekend. Hopefully there's not going to be any bad things that are happening. But a passionate protest, a peaceful protest, is protected and sacred in this country. But violent anarchism, whether it calls itself Antifa or under any other banner, has no place in the tradition of dissent here in America. Our founders would have recognized it immediately, not as liberty, but as tyranny and as a mob. So when somebody tells you that Anifah is just like the Tea Party, remember the Boston Tea Party, remember Boston Harbor, remember the restraint, remember the clarity, remember the purpose. When you look at the fires of Portland, the difference is not subtle. And the difference is between building a nation and burning one down. When they say this weekend, no kings, what are they actually asking for? What are they for? I know they're not for a king. I'm not for a king either. I don't want a king. But I'll follow that. No king but Christ. My first citizenship is to the kingdom of God. And I will serve that because me serving that makes me a better citizen because I love my neighbor. I want my neighbor to prosper. I don't hate my enemies. When I actually serve in my first kingdom, my first passport, and I serve that king. I look for somebody that can help manage all of the rest of it, can listen to the people and start to move in a healthy direction to make people more free and to make our country a more perfect nation. What are they for?
