Hey, today, what a great, great show. We start from Washington, DC. We're in all week. We tell some things on the whole show about what's really happening here. You are not being told what the amazing things that are happening in Washington, DC are. I mean, wait until you hear about just the fireworks that are happening. That's on the full show, but this is the edited, so you get right to some meat. Today, part two of the writing of the Declaration of Independence. I tell you who Thomas Jefferson really is. And what he was really going through when he wrote that thing. Also, I give you a little white pill for everybody who thinks, wait a minute, wait a minute, the Supreme Court just said, no, we can just let anybody in if they're born here. That's crazy. That's a suicide pact.
And yesterday, Socialism and the Democrats, we had another DSA member win in Colorado. I talked about that and I give you a white pill.
Something that I think you need to know. We win in the end. You'll understand after today's Best Of Podcast.

You're listening to the best of The Glenn Beck Program.

**Glenn Beck** (1:55)
I want to, I want to give you some hope here. I want to talk to you about, tonight I've got my special on immigration, and it's the truth on immigration, and, you know, birthright citizenship yesterday. This was, this is a poison pill for America. And it's really, really dangerous. And we don't survive unless somebody fixes this.
And you know that, you know we are faced, I mean, we had socialist win again. Deep, deep socialist. These are not like, hey, I think we should be more like Sweden socialist. These are deep socialists. I'll get into that next hour. They won last night in Colorado. That's in the center of the country, gang.
But to give you hope, I want to take you back to, oh, I can't believe I'm seeing this. And I hate these things. I want to take you to an opera, which I absolutely hate opera. I love this one song. Can you play a little clip of this? I love this one song, mainly because it's in every mob movie.
You know this song, right? You don't know what it says. You don't know what it means. You're just like, oh, it's the fat clown, right? Crying or is that a different opera? I'm not really sure. Okay.
So listening to this song, this song matters, okay? This is from Turandot. It's Puccini's opera. Never seen it, but apparently, you know, if you could read, if they would put subtitles on, maybe a few of us would go. But anyway, a prince named Caliph falls in love with the princess Turandot, and she has sealed herself behind fear and power and impossibly cruel conditions. If she, if somebody wants to seek her hand for marriage, he has to answer three riddles. And failure means death. Okay? Well, Caliph succeeds, yet victory doesn't end the struggle. Instead, he offers her a challenge of his own. If she can discover his name before dawn, she can have him executed. I don't know, is she a lesbian? I don't know what the problem is with getting married in this thing. I didn't look that deeply. But the entire city is drawn in to this search of who this guy is. And fear spreads through the streets. Nobody is allowed to rest. No one is allowed to sleep. Find out who this guy is. That's the setting of this song called Nessun Dorma. None Shall Sleep. That's none shall sleep. That's the name of that song. Now standing in the middle of that tense and fearful night, Caliph sings alone. Everyone around him is consumed by uncertainty. But he is absolutely convinced that dawn will bring not his death, but a different outcome. And the aria builds to one of the most famous climaxes in all of music, where he says, vincero, vincero. What does that mean? What does vincero mean? It means, I will win.
The power of that song, the reason why it speaks to you, even though you don't know the story and you don't know what it says, it speaks to you because the song is not found in triumph already achieved. It comes from the confidence maintained before the outcome is known. It's somebody, it's the sound of somebody standing in the darkness, surrounded by absolute doubt by everybody, holding fast to the belief that morning is coming and morning is bringing a different outcome than everybody else thinks.
