19 leftist LIES our new DISINFORMATION BOARD could’ve caught

The Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday the formation of a new ‘Disinformation Governance Board.’ Its goal will be to end the spread of disinformation that affects ‘public trust in our democratic institutions,’ the department announced. But it's too bad this 'disinformation board' wasn’t available a few years ago — or even a few months ago, Glenn says. That way, it could've caught all the leftist LIES our nation has had to endure…lies like Black Lives Matter's 'peaceful' protests, Trump collusion with Russia, and Brett Kavanaugh's high school past...right?!

GLENN: So, Stu, my goodness. How excited were you, when you heard Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas talk about the new DHS disinformation governance board?

STU: Oh, I was thrilled. I was thrilled.

Any time I hear anything from Mayorkas, my favorite Greek yogurt.

GLENN: Yeah. I eat that too.

STU: Yeah, it's really good. Yeah, every time. It's a little chunky.

But lots of protein. Very healthy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: Everything he does is good for you.

GLENN: Yeah. No misinformation there.

STU: No. And this is what we've always needed. People get confused at times. I don't know if you've noticed this in our history. A disagreement on different topics.

What is true? What isn't? And what's the best approach.

GLENN: And the government should decide this.

STU: So we don't have to have all these arguments.

GLENN: Amen, brother. Amen.

So, you know, we wouldn't have had this problem, if Lincoln just would have had a disinformation board.

STU: Right.

GLENN: He could have just -- he could have just arrested and silenced or killed all those people that was like saying all these untruths about slavery.

STU: Right. Obviously, I think if there was a disinformation board back in the day. They would have been saying that slavery was good. And Lincoln was wrong. Forget about that for a second. Talk about how they've now evolved.

GLENN: No. Lincoln didn't really care about the slaves.

STU: No. Right. Right.

GLENN: So I'm really glad. Because if we had this disinformation board. They're going to be able to stop things like the Russian collusion story. That went on for four years. If we would have the Department of Homeland Security. They would have said, no. No, guys. That's not true. In fact, the FBI has been altering documents and lying to the FISA court. You know, the secret court. They've been lying to them. So that's not true. So don't report that. So that would have been good. Or the Steele dossier. And golden shower. And all of that. They would have said, no, no, no. The DHS has just come out, and Steele has been discredited by the FBI. And he's making all this stuff up. And here's the evidence of it. Or like the, Donald Trump has seven hours missing on January 6th, on his phone logs. Could have added that. Or the laptop was not real. Or it was not real. Then it was stolen, so we can't report on it, because it was stolen. Which none of that was true. Then it was a Russian op. And that wasn't true. And now it's all about Hunter. And has nothing to do with Joe. Which is not true now.

So the DHS could stop that. You know, wouldn't that be great?

Oh, man. If they could have been around when the disinformation of, if you like your health care, you can keep it. Wouldn't that have been great, if the government could have had that disinformation stopped?

STU: It's weird. Because Obama had a version of this, in his campaign. Remember this?

GLENN: No. Uh-uh.

STU: Yeah. They had a disinformation, quick response team.

GLENN: Oh, that's right.

STU: That would step out. And make sure that whatever the lies were like.

GLENN: But see. That wasn't run by the DHS.

STU: Yeah. You have to be in the government.

GLENN: That might have stopped Ben Rhodes from lying about the Iran Deal. And getting it done. And then coming out and saying, yeah, I lied about that Iran thing, to be able to get that thing done. Or the lies about the mask. That the government was proud of lying about it.

I mean, it was a noble lie. It was a noble lie. Now, I don't know if the DHS will stop noble lies.

STU: I don't know if they will do that.

GLENN: There's a difference. Or the voting rights bill. Man, wouldn't it be great, if the DHS would have had this disinformation service. And they could have stopped all the people in the government and the press, saying that the voting rights bill is to stop black people from voting? Wouldn't that have been great. We need this so bad. We do. Or the Wuhan lab, that that leaked. It could absolutely, definitely, could not -- don't even talk about it. Not a possibility.

STU: Not a possibility. Impossible. And that comes -- you know that one is definitely true. Because it came from the people who did it. That's how you know. They said they didn't do it. And they were the ones who had to have done it. It's when you ask -- you ask O.J. Simpson. A book saying, if he did it --

GLENN: He outlined.

STU: But he says, he didn't do it. He's the expert. He was there.

GLENN: Were you there? He was there. Or in his case, not there.

STU: In his specific case, not there.

GLENN: And with the Wuhan lab, they were there or not there. So they would know.

STU: Find the expert. Who is the expert on O.J. Simpson murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman? O.J. Simpson.

GLENN: Oh, man. Imagine the DHS, if they could have stopped -- remember the Obama cages that they didn't report on, said they didn't exist? But did, you know, at the border. And then they said that Trump built those cages. And we have cages now, and they say those are not cages. Imagine if we could stop the misinformation there. Or the horsewhipping guys. That would have been a good one to stop. Or Brett Kavanaugh is a rapist. Oh, can you imagine if they could have stopped that disinformation?

Or the new one now, I like this. The trans care for kids is reversible. Or could we please cut one here. Here's a teacher about being very, very careful about what we teach our kids. Listen to this.

VOICE: Two other trans-identified high school teachers put together a language guide. Our site is called genderinclusivebiology.com. And some things that we come up with a lot, for teaching about cell division or reproduction. A lot of textbooks. A lot of existing teaching say, well, women produce eggs. Males are more likely to be colorblind. The mother carries the fetus for this many months. And some ways we can show our support for trans and non-binary students, just to clean up that language. You can be more accurate and be more inclusive. I would say, it's not women that produce eggs. It's ovaries that produce eggs. That's accurate. That's precise. We're acknowledging that not all women produce eggs, and also not all egg producers are women, for example.

GLENN: Women. Yeah.

VOICE: And we're teaching students, language matters.

STU: You are saying that. I will say, they are teaching students that language matters.

GLENN: Yes, they are. And, you know, not all women produce eggs. Okay. True.

STU: Yeah. That's true.

And what was the other one.

STU: Not all egg producers are women.

GLENN: Are women. We should call the DHS on that one.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't know. A, can you imagine if we had the DHS on the BLM peaceful protests?

STU: That would be --

GLENN: Or the fact that they raised millions and millions of dollars, and then just stole the money?

STU: They bought some nice real estate. I wouldn't say stole --

GLENN: Yeah. You're right. You're right. Imagine having DHS if they were there to say, hey. Hey. Hey. That's not what Trump said about Charlottesville or the Nazis. That would have been. Or the horse dewormer thing, or injecting bleach. Or calling him a white supremacist. And everything he does is hate speech, and trying to -- all of that. That would be wow.

Or inflation and gas it prices, caused by Putin. That would be -- we should get the DHS on that one.

STU: Uh-huh. I'm sure they'll be all over it.

GLENN: Think about that. That's a long list. That was me just five minutes before we went on. I would like to open up the phones today. Today is the day you talk whatever you would like to talk about. I would love to hear if you actually got on your zoning board. Or if you're running for -- I would like to hear some local success stories. If you have any.

You know, give me hope for the love of God. But can you fill out that list? That's a pretty comprehensive list. That should be five minutes.

STU: Oh, yeah, it's not full. But you have a lot on there for five minutes.

GLENN: For five minutes. So DHS yesterday, in case you haven't heard, has come out and said that they have a disinformation Homeland Security governance board.

And there really -- they're very concerned about the minority communities. Very concerned about the minority communities.

And so -- because that's really where the disinformation is happening. Don't you think, Stu? Spanish language, disinformation campaigns.

I got to tell you, I'm in these secret G.O.P. meetings all the time.

STU: Right. Right.

GLENN: The star chamber. And we talk about it all the time. But we speak in Angolan. Because nobody speaks that on the left. So it's the ultimate white language. And anyway, we're speaking in Angolan, and we have been plotting to just take over -- you know, continue our takeover of the Spanish language channels. You know, Univision. It's ours. It's ours. We've done this for a long time.

STU: Really? It doesn't seem like it's --

GLENN: That's our disinformation campaign. So, anyway, they're concerned about that. They're concerned about disinformation about the border. And about Russia.

Okay? They're very concerned about those two things. Oh. And -- and inflation.

So they're going to be looked into those -- aren't those things that maybe everybody is going to be talking about during the election?

I'm just saying. By the way, Nina Jankowicz is going to be the -- the head of the disinformation center for the DHS.

And she's great. Well, she was the one who said, hey. This laptop thing, that's Russian disinformation. So she knows it.

She's good.

STU: Yeah. Didn't she call it a Trump product?

GLENN: Yeah. A Trump product. A Trump product. You know, the other thing I really like about her. And I'll get into this later, if you really want to. But she's on the board of trustees for the Eurasia Foundation, and is a global fellow.

I'm not going to need to say anymore than this.

She's also a global fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center. So, I mean, what else could you ask for?

STU: That is so perfect! I can't even -- as if they designed the story for us.

GLENN: Yep! Yep!

Okay. So there you have it, gang. Welcome to it. We're going to make sure that you get the right information. Until DHS, you know, shuts everybody down.

But it will be Elon Musk that's responsible for it.

The ONE “forever war” Glenn Beck supports

This Fourth of July, Glenn Beck reveals the only “forever war” he supports. It’s the war Americans have been fighting since our nation’s founding, and we must continue the fight…

GLENN: Two hundred forty-nine years ago, I think it is tomorrow. Right? Is tomorrow the second, or is it the first?

What day is it today?

So it was 200 -- 249 years ago, tomorrow, that somebody sat alone, in a -- in a one-room hotel room.

And scratched out the words, when in the course of human events. Those are the first six words of a document that is so dangerous!

Still today, so revolutionary.

It was whispered in those candle lit rooms by men who knew. Knew. That if I signed this document, that's a death warrant.

I'm dead!

I'm dead.

But in the course of human events, shh.

Jefferson wrote them!

33 years old. Adams would later say, you do well to revere Jefferson. But he didn't write alone. Basically, I was there too.

And so was Ben Franklin. The ideas were forged in the minds of men like Franklin, who is old enough to know better. And Adams, who was stubborn enough, not to care. And they weren't perfect men. But I love this about the left. They try to make you think.

That you think are perfect. I don't think they were perfect! I mean, Ben Franklin used to walk around naked in his house a lot. That shows, I mean, for as smart as that guy was. It shows, maybe he had a lack of mirrors. But they weren't perfect!

They owned slaves. They argued. They compromised.

How does that make them different than us?
I mean, we should be able to relate to them!

What is it that we tolerate right now?
What is it that we compromise on?

What is it -- what are our failures that future generations are going to go, these people just didn't get it? Perhaps what we should notice is that they, unlike most of us. They were willing to gamble their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

For something that had never, ever been done before. Something entirely new!

The idea that rights don't come from a government, or from a king, or from a parliament.

They don't come from the majority voting. Everyone has certain rights.

You know, for all these people who are, you know -- going in Macy's, and burning down towns. And then stealing clothing. And they're like, because I've been oppressed!

And you can't -- I've got rights, you know.
Yeah. Yeah.

You know who the first people were, to articulate those rights?

You know the only country that actually has stood for those rights?

And we're imperfect!

That idea came from the Founders, that you say you hate.

But the actual rights come from God, which you dismiss!

Think of this. Just ponder this for a second.

That all men are created equal! That their rights are given to them, by a creator.

It's not a political assertion. It's a genius. That's eternal truth!

That's theological dynamite, lobbed straight in to the thrones of Europe.

All over the world, it's still dynamite.

They knew what they were doing.

And I don't mean like, they knew what they were doing.

They had it. No. They knew that the British crown had the largest military force in the world. And these guys, they were farmers. They were printers. They were lawyers. They were a ragtag collection of intellectual and idealists, facing down an empire, where they said, the sun never set on the British empire. Meaning, the colonialism was everywhere!

You could not escape England. And yet, they declared it. We're leaving, without apology!

And they said that when a government becomes destructive of the ends of liberty, life, and the pursuit of happiness, it's not only the right of the people, it's their duty to throw it off!

Wow. And you know what is amazing? That's not rebellion.

That's -- that's not revolution. That's -- that's responsibility.

That -- that kind of language today, that would have you flagged, shadow banned. Labeled an extremist. In most countries, disappeared!

But that is the foundation of what we call America. The American experiment. And it's that. The American experiment.

And it's just that, an experiment. We didn't know if we could get it right. And we haven't gotten it right. But isn't it worth experimenting?

Isn't it worth trying to get that concept right?

When you fail on that concept, you're like, eh. That's a stupid idea.

That's not a stupid idea. That's the greatest idea of all time.

Why are so many people willing to just quit?

The experiment is self-rule. It's not perfect.

Never has been. Slavery. Jim Crow. Internment camps. Assassinations.

My God! Forgive us, for what we have done.

But at the same time, what nation has done more to correct its own errors?

What people have shed more blood, not for conquest, but for freedom.

Twice in the last century, we crossed oceans. Not to claim territory. But to liberate that territory!

Our sons and daughters fought and bled on foreign soil to push the darkness back, to fight against Naziism and fascism and Communism. And here we are. Here we are today.

After 249 years tomorrow of that experiment, standing at the lip of the very abyss, those men feared.

A godless chaos, rising in the east and a cold atheistic utopia, clawing at the foundations of the Western world. Islamism and Communism, two ideologies that have killed tens of millions of people. Now dressed all in new robes, selling old lies.

And we can't even teach a child where their rights come from. We have replaced Jefferson and Adams with TikTok influencers and bureaucratic groupthink.

We're raising generations to not even know the truth about their own identity.

But to question their identity. And they could be, oh, you're a funny, funny colored unicorn today. What do you want to be tomorrow?

We don't teach them anything about truth, or their inheritance, most importantly. Their inheritance. What good are hot dogs and fireworks, if the soul of the nation is up for auction? What is the meaning in Fourth of July, if we have forgotten the why? If we don't even call it Independence Day anymore. Most people don't even know who we fought against for independence.

They think we fought for its independence! Most people think we fought the South!

And yet, we'll light the sparklers, or blow our fingers off, because we're just that stupid.

This Independence Day weekend, would you do me and yourself and your country a favor, and read the words out loud. Speak the words out loud.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with one another.

And to assume among the powers of earth, the separate, but equal station, to which the laws of nature.

And nature's God entitle them.

A decent respect to the opinions of mankind, requires that they should declare the causes, which impair them to the separation.

What are they saying?

Look, we want to be decent people.

We want to be decent people.

And we have to separate them.

But we believe it's only right that we tell you why we have to separate. And it's not because of all the bad things you've done. We'll get to those later. It's because we're different. And you don't understand. You have been telling us all of these things, we no longer believe in. We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created equal, and they're endowed by their creator with certain inalienable. Unchangeable rights.

And just among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, government are his instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

My gosh. Read those words. And let your children hear what thinking and courage sounds like.

That to secure these rights, I'm telling you, the king, who thinks that your government was given to you, by God.

And you are the ruler.

And you will tell everybody what to think, what to do. What to buy. What to sell. What to tax. What not to tax. Who gets land. Who doesn't get land.

No, no, no. Government are his instituted among men, deriving their powers, their just powers, from the people. And that government is only there, established by those men to protect the rights that God has given each of those men.

Let them feel the chill, that runs down the spine, when Jefferson writes, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the government, or from the governed. Let them hear the words, of -- of responsibility. What responsibility sounds like, with courage and freedom. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these rights, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.

And to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their a lot of and happiness.

In other words, you have the right, you have the responsibility to stop tyrants. And if the government has gone bad, to throw that government off.

But reconstitute a government, that will do a better job at protecting those rights. Not to form a communist government.

Not to do anything else. But you want a new government?

Fine! Let's find the way to make men more free. This is not a metaphor. This is a declaration of war on tyranny in all of its forms.

I mean, I said, yesterday, freedom isn't free.

It was paid for by somebody's blood. But you have to remember, they paid for their freedom, not for our freedom, necessarily.

We -- there comes a time, we have to pay for our freedom. And God forbid, that it comes down to blood.

But at least shake off the apathy. We -- we must renew this promise of this experiment of America.

We need to fight for it as well. An out-of-control government that seeks to rope us into forever wars, over and over again. We're all against forever wars. I'm against it.

I hate them.

But there is one forever war, that is required in a free society. A different kind of forever war.

A war against ourselves, a war against human nature in each of us. Because of human nature, we get fat. We get lazy.

We get tolerant of abuses. Let your children hear you speak these words. And when you speak them, ponder them yourself.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes.

And accordingly, all experience has shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer while the evils are sufferable than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms in which they're accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a sign to reduce them under absolute despotism.

It's their right. It's their duty. To throw off such government. And provide new guards for such future security.

In one paragraph, we make the point twice. And they tell us, look, we've studied people.

We know you're going to get fat and lazy and apathetic. And you won't want to do stuff for transient causes. Because this is really not good.

But when push comes to shove. And everything is moving towards absolute despotism. Absolute tyranny. Then you must stand up.

I ask you to ponder this. This particular part, when a long train of abuses and usurpations. Prudence will indeed dictate that governments long established should not be exchanged for light and transient causes.

And accordingly, all experience has shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer while the evils suffer, than to right themselves.

Aren't we exactly the same people, that their experience was talking about?

Aren't we the people that are more disposed to suffer, than to right ourselves? Because we're too comfortable. Or we're too afraid, just to stand up and simply say no to lies.

No!

There is a difference between men and women.

No! Communism is to be feared. It's killed over 100 million people, in the last 100 years.

No!

Muslims aren't bad. Islamism is!

It's evil. No!

You can peacefully protest, any time, any place. And I will fight to the death for your right to do that.

But when you start burn cities down to the ground, no!

We're just a few days away. And we have marked our 249th birthday. Maybe. Just maybe, this year, can we stop asking what America was, and start deciding what America will be?

Where it just slips quietly into history. In the dark of apathy and ignorance.

Because the only thing more dangerous than tyranny is the people who have forgotten what it took to break its chains.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

We need REAL jobs in America — Trump should do THIS now!

It is clear we need to create more productive, high-paying jobs for American citizens. But that doesn't mean bringing back the same exact jobs of the past in massive numbers. It means creating and supporting jobs of the present and future that will better the lives of Americans. Glenn Beck and Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts break down exactly what this entails and how President Trump can make it a reality.

The most INCREDIBLE World War II story you’ve NEVER HEARD

One of the biggest American World War II cemeteries in Europe is in a small town in the Netherlands, where thousands of Dutch people continue the tradition to this day of “adopting” a fallen US soldier and checking in on his family. “The Monuments Man” author Robert Edsel joins Glenn Beck to tell this incredible story, which he documents in his new book, “Remember Us.”

GLENN: Robert, welcome back to the program. How are you, sir?

ROBERT: Great to talk to you!

GLENN: It's great to talk to you.

Can you remind me? You were on with us, after Monuments Men. And you talked about this great service that is still going on, where people that -- they were still looking for paintings and pieces of art, that had been taken by the Nazis.

And if I remember right, didn't somebody in our -- our own audience reach out to you, and say, I think we found one of those paintings?

ROBERT: Yes, sir. Absolutely.

The Glenn Beck audience. And Glenn Beck, you yourself deserve a lot of credit.

Because I hadn't walked out of your studio last time. You know, in Dallas at Las Colinas.

Headed back to our office at Monuments Men and Women Foundation office, before someone in my office contacted me and said, we've already had a lead, as a result of your interview with Glenn. And it turned out someone whose aunt had been given two paintings during World War II.

She had worked for the government overseeing Germany, and these two paintings were missing.

We were able to identify who the rightful owner was, and get them back.

So it's a great thing that you performed. And, you know, it's a magnificent conclusion, though obviously a very difficult part of history.

GLENN: What was it like to give that back to the family?

ROBERT: It was a deeply moving experience. We -- the foundation found and returned more than 30 works of art, from paintings to documents, ancient books. Tapestries, to museums. Individual collectors, and so on.

And, you know, when we see, oftentimes, the people just stand there, and they cry.

They don't even know what to say. Because they may have worked 50 or 60 years, trying to find some work of art that's been missing. And they haven't had leads. And to -- to see us standing there, with something that belongs to them.

Not asking for anything in return. Don't charge anybody for doing it. Because we feel like everybody who went through World War II already paid enough.

Words -- words just fail. It's just pure gratitude.

GLENN: I can't wait for you to tell this new story.

Tell me the story of the care takers. The care takers of --

ROBERT: Well, it's a story that found me, just as Monuments did.

I have written about -- in the Monuments Men, I told the story of two Monuments Officers who were killed in combat, one British soldier and one American, Walter Huchthausen. And Huchthausen was killed. He once did a last casualty at war. He was killed in the last month of World War II, and is buried in the American benevolence, American cemetery, in Margraten in the Netherlands. I knew that story, and I had made mention of a young girl who was harbored in September '45, asking for the address of his mother, wanting to write her and tell her, that she walked 5 miles, several times a week, from her house to the American military cemetery. It was called then. To put flowers on his grave. Because her family knew them. And they were grief-stricken to know that they were killed.

And I knew that story too. I mentioned that. And then in 2015, the nephew of Huchthausen wrote me and included a photograph of this elderly lady with this crown of white hair. And he said, here's a photo with Frida, and I couldn't place who this was.

I had no idea who it was. And I realized, my God, this is that 19-year-old girl that is still alive. So I flew to England. She married a British soldier after the war. And I went to meet with her. She started showing me photographs of when the American -- Americans liberated her area of the Netherlands.

And all these American soldiers that they knew.

And she said, you know about the American military cemetery.

She said, have you been there?

And I said yes. And she said, so you know about the great adoption program?

And I said, what? She said, the great adoption program.

I said, I have no idea what you're talking about. So I started doing some research on this. And learned, at the end of World War II, our largest World War II cemetery in Europe, was not Normandy. It was the Netherlands American cemetery, where 17,800 boys and a few women buried at this cemetery by May 1946.

And by that time, every single grave had a Dutch person, a local person, who volunteered to be an adaptor of that brave.

Go out there on the first death date of the soldier, Veterans Day, Memorial Day.

And if they had the contact information for the next of kin, send them a photograph of the grave.
And a letter.

Because they realized, it was okay to adopt the bodies of dead boys.

But where the real need was, was to reach across the ocean, into the American homes and try to assuage the grief of the families.

And they knew some of these boys. And I found it the most heartwarming, uplifting, and certainly unique conclusion to a World War II story that I think has been written.

GLENN: So are they still some of them still doing this?

ROBERT: Not some. In fact, there were about -- in 1940, 748.

American families were given the choice to have their loved ones sent home, or to be left overseas in a military cemetery.

The Army had no idea, how many -- how many families would want their boys sent home, and as a consequence, they couldn't tell how many cemeteries they would need.

We thought almost everybody would want to have the families sent home. But it turned out not to be the case. So about 61 percent came home. About 39 percent stayed in Europe, which was about the numbers from World War I.

Although, the numbers in this area, in the Netherlands were higher.

The -- the graves that are there now.

There are 10,000 boys there. And four women.

8300 graves. 1700 names on the walls of the missing.

Every one of them has an adaptor for 80 years.

All those graves have been adopted, without interruption.

There's a waiting list of almost a thousand people in the Netherlands, to become a doctor. This is a -- not just a --

GLENN: This is --

JASON: A privilege. Because they take their kids out to the cemetery. They turn the cemetery into a classroom. And you go out there. And, yes, there's a somber element. They're instilling in their kids, you're able to think, and say what you want to. Because of the freedom that was given to you, by this American girl or boy. And we don't do that in our country anymore.

GLENN: So this is one of the most incredible stories that I've -- I've ever heard.

And I'm shocked that the world doesn't know this!

Is -- have you -- is there anything like this, anywhere else in the world?

JASON: No. We couldn't even find a comp of any nature.

There are -- that is not to say, the people in Normandy area, don't care about Normandy and other cemeteries. They do, of course. As do the Belgians in other cemeteries.

But there's no place that created an organic great adoption program, during the war, in January 1945!

These people in this area of the Netherlands were so grateful, having been neutral in World War I.

And having not lost their freedom for 100 years!

And they didn't like it!

And when the Americans liberated them in September 44. I'll never forget this woman Freda. This elderly woman I met, looked at me, the first time I interviewed her. I knew her for eight years. The last eight years of her life.

I delivered a eulogy two summers ago. She looked at me, there were the eyes of the 19-year-old. And she said, when I saw that first tank over the hill and I realized, we were saved.

I looked at my dad, and I said, Papi, these American boys come all the way across the ocean to say this. And there were tears in her eyes.

Because they didn't -- they couldn't imagine how we could have moved that equipment across -- across the ocean.

And why we would have cared so much.

So there isn't anything like it.

But January 45, these people in this little town of Margraten.

A mile from the cemetery, organized a meeting of the town leaders. The town who got 1200 people.

And they were trying to find an answer to the question: How do you thank your liberators, when they're no longer alive to thank? And they came up with this idea of this great adoption program, and it's a story that I tell, following the lives of about 12 different American combat soldiers.

Bomber recipients.

Tankers.

Because we don't know that story.

We don't what knows to an American story, when they're killed on the field of battle.

Because it's depressing.

We move on to the next scene in a movie.

Well, I want people to know, you started your program with freedom is not free.

It's ugly.

Let's talk about that. Let's talk about what the cost is.

Let's talk about the stripping line that the body goes through, and the removal of dog tags, one being put in the mouth, if there's still a head. And the other being nailed to the cross, because they don't have time to stencil the names on yet.

Let's talk about that, and let people know, it's not just a Marvel movie. Or a gang war.

This is real. This is painful. And, of course, at the end of the war, when we Americans declare victory, and move on with our lives, there's millions of family members in the United States, whose lives will never be the same.

So it is -- it's still happening today. It's still happening today.

GLENN: The name -- the name of the book is Remember Us.

And take us -- I mean, because that's really kind of the -- the -- the beauty of it.

Take us through the rest of the book, just briefly.

It starts with what?

ROBERT: Well, I follow -- I began what a nice life was in the Netherlands. Until May 10, 1940.

And the Netherlands does not get much attention from World War II, and yet everybody has heard of Battle of the Bulge. And Battle -- those are all within 50 miles of what we're talking about.

They happened around there. Of course, World War II, in western Europe, begins right here in this area. Because the German tanks roll across the border.

So I cover the life of these 12 different Americans. I interviewed all their family members. Some make it through the war. Some don't.

You read the book, you realize who makes it, who doesn't. But their lives converge around this area of the Netherlands. And when post-world War II stories end, with the war being over, remember us kicks into a transcendent moment when the Dutch come up with this idea of this great adoption program. The Americans refuse to provide the names and addresses of the next of kin.

So they're foiled with trying to achieve their ultimate objective. Which is to try to contact all the American families.

And frustrated, there was -- one of the key figures of the book.

A woman who is the mother of 12 children.

Who takes it upon herself. She's a woman of action.

She writes president Truman. And pleads for him to get involved.

When that doesn't work. She gets on the first airplane, she's ever flown on. She leaves her kids behind.

She flies to New York. Lands in LaGuardia Field.

She goes to Washington, and meets the members of Congress. Including a young guy from Texas, named Lyndon Johnson.

Who says, young lady, you need to go to Texas. Because there are so many military bases there.

She flies to our hometown. And lands in Lovefield.

In June of 1946. And is met by two family members. And for five weeks, she lives with American families, that lost somebody during a war.

And to each of them she says, leave your boys with us. When the election comes.

We will watch over them, like our own forever.

And they have done that. Now, today, these 10,000 Dutch doctors only have contact information for 20 percent of the American families.

They couldn't ever get the others.

GLENN: You're kidding me. Where is the list? Do you have a list?

ROBERT: Yeah. The Monuments Men and Women Foundation entered into a joint venture with the Dutch Foundation for Adopting Graves.

Not charging anybody for this. And we have created a website called foreverpromise.org.

And on that website is a list of all 10,000 men and women, more women that are buried at the cemetery, or whose names are on the walls missing.

And it's a searchable database. We're asking people to go and see. Do you have someone you know, or a relative, who is buried there.

And if so, we have a short questionnaire. What's your relationship? Are you aware of this great adoption program? Are you in contact with your adopter? Would you like to be? Would you allow us to share your contact information?

I connected a lady from Richmond, Texas. Saturday night. To her -- to this young Tammy, that's the adopter of her brother.

She's 93 years old.

She was in tears. At the thought when she leaves this world, there will be someone there to watch over her brother.

And that's what we're all about is this connecting.

GLENN: Rob, I have to tell you.

You've really done something with your life. I mean, I know you don't need me to say it.
But what a great job you have. And what a great service you have done for so many years.

Thank you so much.

Please, look this up.

The forever promise project.

You can find it at foreverpromise.org. Foreverpromise.org. Robert Edsel is the author's name. The book is Remember Us. It's a perfect read for this week.
