Today's podcast, The Best Of, The Glenn Beck Program, we've got a few things. The 7% that makes the difference.
America is 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, die-hard socialists.
So, the game is changing. And I'm going to ask you, you know, 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, the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

This is an amazing story, filled with incredible flesh-eating disease. And it, 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, and 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.
I mean, is this really necessary? I mean, really making friends with people in Capitol Hill at all. Thune the ball is 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. I'm going to tell you in a few minutes is even more important, but they relate to one another, okay? 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, you know, the Sunshine Patriots and the Winter Soldiers. This is the first step into finding out who you are in the grand scheme of things. But before I do that, I just 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, it was important.
Nobody wrote a poem about Caeser 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. No, 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, in July, they needed to be united and they kept going over and voting. Okay, 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 canceled 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. Okay, 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.
