On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by his good friend Don Lemon to discuss birthright citizenship and the Whitey Bulger documentary. Also, Halloween is around the corner and Glenn explains why he thinks we need a ban on white men.
00:04:41.640Black people who are friends with white people, can you please call the white wife and make sure she hasn't been knived by her white husband?
00:05:22.700I know it's really confusing because it's, you know, there's so many white men that are terrorists, the leading terrorist threat, but it's actually Michael Myers in Halloween.
00:05:34.200I mean, imagine, imagine if all the white men disguised as middle-aged accountants that have just lived their life and never bothered anybody.
00:05:44.740You're just going to let your little kids go up to that house and get candy?
00:06:49.300Isn't it saying all people have this trait if they're part of this race?
00:06:56.100Yeah, discrimination, antagonism, prejudice directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
00:07:05.560The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race.
00:10:13.360It's all about yes, but which party did you vote for?
00:10:17.800It's easy to see why you hear, you know, when you hear people like Don Lemon spew this, and this is, Don, hate.
00:10:25.320But, spew this hate that CNN actually has the gall to call objective reporting.
00:10:34.560And to the over 100 million white men out there, you can forget switching a Geico.
00:10:46.280You've just saved tons of money by never having to buy a Halloween costume ever again because you're the biggest terror threat in the country.
00:10:56.600Oh, because I know what you want to do with that golf club.
00:11:02.300You just want to beat people to death.
00:11:04.700Read a great Washington Post editorial.
00:11:07.720After a deranged Democrat living in his van nearly assassinated Republican Steve Scalise, firing more than 70 rounds at House Republicans practicing for the congressional baseball game,
00:11:21.220House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared it outrageous that anyone would blame Democratic rhetoric for inspiring the shooter.
00:11:30.700Quote, how dare they say such a thing, Pelosi thundered.
00:11:34.480Never mind that the shooter echoed Democratic vitriol against the president, ranting on Facebook that Trump is guilty and should go to prison for treason.
00:11:45.860And that, quote, Trump has destroyed our democracy.
00:11:50.320It's time to destroy Trump and company.
00:11:53.780Now, Democrats are doing exactly what they condemned.
00:11:59.980Doesn't it feel good, Stu, to get up in the morning and know that I don't have to answer for my positions in the past because I've been consistent?
00:12:09.080I didn't blame the Democrats for that shooting.
00:12:11.160I'm not blaming Donald Trump for this.
00:12:16.260Democrats are doing exactly what they condemn, blaming President Trump's divisive rhetoric for the recent spat of mail bomb attacks and the massacre at Pittsburgh synagogue.
00:12:25.460The truth is, they ceded the moral high ground years ago.
00:12:30.280Our dissent into vitriol began long before Trump and Democrats and their allies are as culpable as the president.
00:12:48.240Finally, somebody with reason is saying, yeah, both sides.
00:12:52.420Recall that in 2000, the NAACP spent millions on ugly ads accusing George W. Bush of moral equivalence with white supremacists who brutally lynched James Byrd in 1998.
00:13:07.360Quote, my father was beaten, chained, and then dragged three miles to his death, all because he was black, said Byrd's daughter, as the screen flashed grainy images of a chain dragging a body behind a pickup truck.
00:13:19.640So when Governor George W. Bush refused to support hate crime legislation, it was like my father was killed all over again.
00:14:17.520That led to the attacks on civil rights workers.
00:14:20.720Four years later, a pro-Obama super PAC ran ads showing GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan pushing an old lady in a wheelchair over the side of a cliff,
00:14:30.760while another ran a false ad blaming Mitt Romney for a woman's death from cancer.
00:16:44.720In the Oxford Dictionary, you'll see the definition.
00:16:47.740The use of force or violence to oppose someone or something.
00:16:53.420Professor of political science at University of Indiana notes the word resistance.
00:16:59.000First surfaces in debates about tyrannicide.
00:17:04.040The violent removal from power of misbehaving kings who usurped authority not properly belonging to them.
00:17:12.660Scalise would have been forgiven for pointing out that his would-be assassin took Democrats' calls to resistance, literally.
00:17:19.500More recently, some Democrats were peddling the unfounded accusations that Brett Kavanaugh participated in gang rapes in an effort to destroy the Supreme Court nominee.
00:17:30.740Clinton defended smash-mouth tactics declaring you can't be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.
00:18:22.860I can tell you what I think the vast majority of Americans stand for.
00:18:31.120All men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:18:41.340That you have a right to freedom of speech.
00:18:43.720That nobody should be able to shut down the press.
00:18:47.120That you have a right to assemble with whoever it is you want to assemble with.
00:18:50.580You have a right to petition your government.
00:19:57.640And we are growing further and further apart to where the people aren't even looking for a solution anymore.
00:20:04.520Well, once you've gotten to that point, you're done.
00:20:07.180This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:18.100Now, Pat, I don't know if you've seen the latest, but the environmentalists who, you know, they care about, you know, they care about the animals.
00:20:32.320They believe we should kill our pets now because we have this compulsion to seek out animal companionship.
00:20:42.780It is one of our primary factors affecting our climate, particularly in the United States, where there are 163 million companion animals, roughly one pet for every two Americans, the highest number of any country in the world.
00:21:02.320And those 163 million pets have a detrimental impact on the environment from the food they consume to the waste they produce.
00:21:10.660So the best thing we can do is kill our pets.
00:27:13.160I am quite clear in the opinion that children born in the United States of alien parents who have never been naturalized are native born citizens of the United States.
00:27:22.720And, of course, do not require the formality of naturalization to entitle them to the rights and privileges of such citizenship.
00:27:53.720So the first one is how do we know who a citizen is?
00:27:57.740Because it's almost all well, it is at that point, all immigrants, except those who had come over in the Mayflower or had their relatives come over before him.
00:28:14.140That was the question of who's an American at that time, because it was mainly, you know, people from England and they were worried about the English coming in.
00:29:57.920However, sometimes you that is also there's there are not unintended, but intended consequences where you would you would absorb a larger group to make sure one group is.
00:30:09.200There is no way the intent is that if you come here from Mexico, Central or South America and you have a baby and everybody who does that is now a citizen.
00:30:19.560There's no way that was there are Russian tours now that take you Chinese to take you to Miami.
00:31:03.160People, pretty much, with an exception of new ideas, pretty much the the the rest of them are a restating of the first one where they had to get very specific and say, no, dummy, women, women are part of all men are created equal.
00:31:23.100Same thing with blacks in the 13th and 14th Amendment.
00:31:28.180They were specific where the where the amendments are very broad.
00:31:34.160The first 10 would have made sense for them to think that in Dallas, Texas, United States of America at Parkland Hospital, 75 percent of the babies born there are born to illegals.
00:32:09.140But that's also a very dangerous phrase.
00:32:11.320Like it's I and I feel like that's the same argument people use with the Second Amendment.
00:32:14.900Oh, well, they would they look I mean at the time they only had these little weapons and it was not we're not look while we're sure they wanted freedom of guns.
00:32:22.500I mean, these guns are too big and too brutal.
00:32:24.500And this is not meant to be a suicide.
00:32:26.000No, when I'm talking about suicide pack, I mean on the principles on the principles.
00:33:01.620Let's just say if their intent was at the beginning, let's just say it was that we wanted it.
00:33:06.360We want aliens to just come in and have been dropped babies over here and they're going to be anchor babies and they're going to get citizenship.
00:46:35.040Um, who would—was everybody against this guy?
00:46:38.680I mean, was he marked for death as soon as they could kill him?
00:46:42.660Uh, well, look, I don't—I don't have the details of yesterday, and it's, you know, it's hard to say.
00:46:47.480But, you know, he is responsible for helping, you know, bring down the Italian mafia.
00:46:52.640So you would imagine that, uh, there would be people who would be out for his—his death.
00:46:58.940Uh, and you have to question, you know, the—the security, and, you know, it's still unclear to me.
00:47:06.340I'm still trying to get some information as to why he was being moved and why the multiple moves and why the lack of security.
00:47:12.960Uh, you know, some people are speculating that this was a purposeful move.
00:47:16.960Uh, I—I can't say that, but, um, you know, a guy who's involved in multiple murders over decades and involved in bringing down the mafia, uh, you know, would actually—would, you know, be a target.
00:47:32.000We're—we're talking to, uh, Joe Berlinger.
00:47:33.740He is, uh, the director of Whitey, United States of America versus James J. Bulger, who is, uh, you know, Whitey.
00:47:40.360Um, and, um, I guess—what was it that attracted you to this story?
00:47:46.340Why—why did you make the film, and what did you—what attracted you to it, and what did you take away from it?
00:47:51.880Yeah, I mean, I thought that, uh, you know, Bulger finally being brought to trial, because there's—there's such a myth about the guy.
00:48:01.240There's such folklore, you know, in our society.
00:48:05.960Unfortunately, we tend to glamorize and make heroes out of criminals.
00:48:10.400Uh, Bulger probably is the greatest example of that.
00:48:13.280There's so much folklore surrounding him, so much hero worship, um, films that kind of downplay the grisly side of—or the—or the aftermath of what he's responsible for,
00:48:25.720even if it does show the details of—of how people are killed.
00:48:29.180You know, we—we celebrate criminals in this society, which is—which is an odd phenomenon.
00:48:34.520And so the idea that he was being brought back to trial, finally, to face the music, I thought would be a great opportunity to kind of separate fact from fiction and to really understand the crimes.
00:48:47.140That—that was my going-in assumption, but sitting through that trial and witnessing it and getting to know Bulger, uh, in fact, I was the only journalist allowed to actually interview him,
00:48:59.220because the, uh, defense attorneys basically trusted me versus some other journalists, in part because of my previous work, films like Paradise Lost.
00:49:08.680Um, uh, you know, what fascinated me and what my big turn was was just how culpable the government has been in allowing a killer to run roughshod over the streets of Boston
00:49:23.640and how, you know, his informant, you know, if you're going to allow somebody to evade justice for 25 years, you would hope that the record of—
00:49:35.780What he—what you got out of him is so rock-solid and so points to, like, oh, my God, this guy was invaluable.
00:49:43.320But I—the evidence was just not there for me.
00:49:45.960You know, he was—he was in—he was in the logbooks as being an informant.
00:49:50.740But, you know, if you really drill into it, there's very little information he gave that the feds didn't already have.
00:49:57.940And so then the question is, why was he allowed?
00:50:00.680I mean, even if he gave the best information on the planet and he's directly responsible for the end of the mafia in New England, as we know it, which was not the case,
00:50:10.460um, you still have to question the wisdom of the government allowing somebody like that to commit murder.
00:51:13.000Well, that's the main thing, but also we play the Telltale Heart because that, uh, it's a—it's a Halloween tradition, uh, and people love it.
00:51:21.040We always hear about people when they're trick-or-treating, um, at the house, they—when they—when they have people coming to the house to trick-or-treat, they play it on speakers by the house.
