Today's show, you really want to hear the whole show. We talked about Father's Day, and I tell you an amazing story about Ronald Reagan and his daughter, Patty, that you probably haven't heard. If you had kind of a quiet Father's Day, you might want to listen to this, because there is hope with a broken family, and you can get that on the full podcast. But here on the shortened version, what happened in America 250 years ago? Everybody knows about Declaration of Independence. Well, actually, we did play some only fans, girls that have no idea.
I mean, wow, is it frightening. I hope it's just the only fans, girls that think that Abraham Lincoln was our first. Actually, they didn't even say Abraham Lincoln at first. It was the guy with the big hat, the tall hat that was our first president. But anyway, what happened 250 years ago? It's a great story about this week in history. Also, Data Republican on the data centers and what's actually happening there. There is a big movement that is supposed to have July 18th. They're supposed to have a big rally all around the country and they say it's a conservative movement. Not so fast. Make sure you know who you're standing next to.
I spoke to Bishop Kai. He is the bishop Anglican Church in England. There's only six of these guys that are willing to stand up. He has probably the most sobering message for Americans I've ever heard. All this and more on today's podcast.

Next week, I'm in Washington, DC. I'm giving, there's one day, I don't even know what day it is. I think I'm giving three different speeches in one day. And we'll put our calendar up so you can join us if, you know, for some of those happening in Washington, DC for the 250th anniversary. Next Saturday, America 250 comes to life, preserving the past, educating the future. I'm doing something in my small town community here up in Idaho. We're raising money to restore an old school house from the 1800s and to also build out the current public library. And Tonya and I have been helping out and I wanted to volunteer my time as well. So I'm doing, I'm bringing some of my rare historic artifacts telling really compelling stories that help shape the nation.
We have two afternoon shows, a special dinner on show on Saturday night. You can reserve your seats now at onitasteakecademy.org/events.
We'll post that up at glennbeck.com or for the insiders in case you want to come. And I want to talk to you, I'm going to bring this, I'm going to talk to you. This is next week, I'm doing a whole thing on the show about this document. This is the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in Thomas Jefferson's own hand. And it is a remarkable document, and the story behind it is incredible. And the reason why we have to learn it is, I want to play this, now these are girls from OnlyFans. So, you know, the sharpest knife in the drawer is not something that I would say we're dealing with here. But I think this is not just them. I think this is, well, you listen, listen to this.

Okay, so they've got to be incredibly hot, right? I mean, that's what you're thinking. They've got to be incredibly hot, because how do they make it out of their house?
But I personally, Ricky, I would like you to get a hold of them. I would like to give them, honestly, I would love to give them a free pass to Torch and see if we can educate them. I mean, it would be a great thing to, you know, six months from now, be able to ask those questions and have them know those answers. So can you see if you can get a hold of them for me?
