On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by former Florida Governor Rick DeSantis. They talk about what's going on in Florida and why it's time to stand up and fight for our country. Glenn also talks about the $740 billion Climate and Health Care Reconciliation Package.
00:02:39.940That has to be said every single day until our politicians get it, and until our politicians, particularly from the right, go in and know that's a top priority.
00:02:55.860I'm gonna give you some information today on what's happening in Florida and what they're actually saying about Ron DeSantis' new patriotic civics class.
00:10:04.360That is because we still believe that our government, somehow or another, there's still enough people believe that our government or your personal guy in Congress or in the Senate is doing the right thing.
00:46:20.900Like many a conservative in 2022, DeSantis also hates the idea of kids learning that American history involves a lot of unsavory business.
00:46:29.720Usually on the part of white people, which is why he started a new initiative that involves straight up lying about the country's past to Florida school children.
00:47:30.880Multiple news outlets have reported that Florida teachers who have attended conferences held by the Florida Department of Education this summer as part of a, quote, civics excellence initiative.
00:47:41.440End quote, have been deeply disturbed at what they've seen, according to the Tampa Bay Times, not the Tampa Bay Times.
00:48:24.600But, I mean, if you wanted to define being less into it than other nations, you might find, for example, a country that its initial draft of the Declaration of Independence used an anti-slavery argument as one of its central arguments.
00:49:43.180They did it with like a, it's like one of these little parliamentary tricks they do in these bills where they're like, oh, we're going to do one year of Obamacare spending when you know it's going to be renewed after that one year.
00:49:56.420So, they don't have to include it in the costs, which is what they did with this past bill, by the way.
00:50:01.280Throughout the sessions, facilitators attempt to downplay the history of slavery and insist that all of the slave-owning nations, the U.S. was leased into it.
00:52:44.420Meanwhile, the other slide, they're talking now about slides.
00:52:48.140The other slide quoted George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as saying they wanted to get rid of slavery.
00:52:53.380While crucially leaving out the fact that both men enslaved people, with the latter owning more than 600 in his lifetime and famously raping at least one of them.
00:53:42.280And only one person out of all of the experts said that, I can't say that it's true, but I don't want to say it's not true because I don't know for sure.
00:53:57.380That was about the fathering of the children.
00:53:59.380And that was, you're right, Glenn, one of the experts said he thought it was more likely than not that he had fathered one of the children.
00:54:10.500This is the overall take, though, from this commission.
00:54:15.540I have it right here if I can open it up.
00:54:17.700In the end, after roughly one year of examining the issues, we find that the question of whether Thomas Jefferson fathered one or more children by his slave Sally Hemings to be about one which honorable people can and do disagree.
00:54:31.680However, it is our unanimous view that this allegation is by no means proven.
00:54:36.180Okay, most certainly untrue to I really don't think it's true.
00:55:22.900Now, this teacher added that a few of the facts presented, very few of them had sources.
00:55:29.300We're not told which documents stated this or how to find them, just that they existed.
00:55:34.900But 1619, you can't source anything because it's all made up.
00:55:44.200Elsewhere during the workshops, which according to the Times were developed with the input of Hillsdale College, a private Christian college in Michigan.
00:55:53.080Okay, one of the best universities around.
00:56:00.080And yes, it is a private Christian college.
00:56:05.260Would we rather have this come from Berkeley?
00:56:08.300And other groups, including the Bill of Rights Institute.
00:56:14.680Oh my gosh, not the Bill of Rights Institute.
00:56:17.600Teachers were reportedly informed that the whole separation of church and state business, that the founders didn't actually mean that.
00:56:36.740Who is the person that is the editor at Vanity Fair that allowed this to go through?
00:56:43.720You have the knowledge of a fourth grader, which is, by the way, the knowledge of a college graduate now because everything is indoctrination.
00:57:19.780During a breakout session, slides repeatedly stated that not only was that a misconception, but the presenters reportedly mentioned more than once the influence of Jesus Christ and the Bible and what it had on our country's foundation.
00:57:36.180This is Christian nationalism philosophy that was baked into everything in there, said one of the teachers.
00:57:43.160Ending school prayer was compared to upholding segregation.
00:57:48.400Barbara Siegel, a 12th grade government teacher at Fort Lauderdale, said she was disturbed by the emphasis on Christianity, telling the Times it was very skewed.
00:57:57.160There was a very strong Christian fundamentalist way of analyzing different quotes and different documents.
00:59:00.300A good teacher, a good teacher, always thinks this is what I know, what I've learned, what I've been taught, but show me, is there something else out there?
00:59:21.500I can guarantee you, my phones will not ring.
00:59:26.740That is what's wrong with our educational system.
00:59:31.160You know, there's something reassuring knowing that you and your family are in the best possible places you can be financially.
00:59:45.620It's peace of mind that, especially these days, it's not easy to come by.
00:59:50.64061% of Americans now, 61% are saying they're living paycheck to paycheck.
00:59:56.620Sometimes it's the kind of thing that you can only get by having help from people who are the ultimate experts.
01:00:03.260Those people, by the way, are the mortgage consultants over at American Financing, which is America's home for home loans.
01:00:09.720For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people like you get where they need to be and they could help you and your family as well.
01:00:18.500So give American Financing a call today.
01:00:20.720You might be surprised at some of the options that they will have for you, from mortgage refi to debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity that you have in your home while it's still high.
01:01:05.300So let's look at what else is happening.
01:01:11.000You know, we have the new, we have our new military now that doesn't have to worry about posse comitatus because it's called the IRS.
01:01:20.080You know the scariest thing about this climate change bill, and when people find out about it, I think their whole point of view will change.
01:01:29.840And remember, it is the Democrats that did this.
01:01:35.300It was 50-50, and the tie-splitting vote came from Kamala Harris.
01:04:28.900Now, I know you don't want to spend extra money right now, and that is smart of you, but you can get 25% off your, your subscription now to LifeLock.
01:04:36.120It's top of the line in cybersecurity with both preventative measures to keep you safe and access to restoration team if you do end up having your information hacked into.
01:04:47.940Because nobody can monitor everything or stop everything.
01:12:20.460If a guy can stand in the girl's dressing room and watch little girls go to the bathroom, I can't imagine what their code of conduct is and what you would have to do to violate that code of conduct.
01:12:32.980Also, specifically use disrespectful words or gestures towards YMCA staff or others and abusive, harassing and or obscene language or gestures towards the YMCA staff or others.
01:12:50.920The manager said that the facility has experienced past issues, but that the incident in the changing room was, quote, unforgivable and extremely harmful.
01:13:00.440Unforgivable to ask a person with to get out to.
01:13:08.260Yeah, as Jim, an 80 year old woman saying this as Jamin attempted to leave the building.
01:13:13.620DeLuna reportedly told Jamin that she was not abiding by the YMCA's principles and values.
01:13:18.660You mean the young men's Christian association?
01:24:54.520If the World Economic Forum has anything at all to say about it, there's gonna come a glorious day in the not-too-distant future when you don't ever have to pay a cell phone bill again.
01:25:03.020Won't that be great? You'll never have to pay it.
01:25:05.920I mean, because you won't have a phone, you know, you won't own anything anymore.
01:25:10.820But you'll be happy. You'll love it. They promise.
01:25:14.420In the meantime, I'm guessing you do have to pay a phone bill every month and it's probably astronomical.
01:25:19.320The additional kick in the teeth is that you, if you're with one of those big mobile companies, chances are very good that some of your bill goes to very leftist causes.
01:25:31.220Not so with Patriot Mobile. Their plans are affordable for any budget.
01:25:35.020They're on the same cell tower, so you get the same great service.
01:25:37.840And best of all, they donate to causes that you can actually get behind, like freedom of speech, protection of life.

01:26:40.780I'm headed to the ninth floor, the governor's office in Arizona, because we have such problems here that we need to solve.
01:26:47.440And, you know, I think what we learned from President Trump is it doesn't take that much work to solve the problems if you have the will to do it.
01:26:55.320And we have the ideas. Unfortunately, this last part of the election, the primary, the media refused to cover our policies, which I believe are some of the best policies we've ever seen in Arizona, because they're America first policies brought down to the Arizona to the state level.
01:27:11.720So give me some of those policies. Give me the things that you're really proud of and you're like, can't wait to put this in.
01:27:18.040I really love, you know, besides the border, and I talk about that all the time, but I want to talk about a couple of others.
01:27:24.560I want to talk about my program to end street homelessness, chronic street homelessness.
01:27:29.520I don't know if you've been to Phoenix lately, but many American cities are just turning into homeless encampments.
01:27:34.040And, you know, I just don't believe God envisioned us to live in despair with a needle in our arm on the street.
01:27:41.120And we need to help these people, but we also need to remember it's not compassionate for the people of Arizona to allow this problem to grow.
01:27:49.880It takes away our quality of life. So we're going to work to get the help to these people.
01:27:54.960And I've got, it's a very involved plan. I won't go into every detail, get them off the streets.
01:27:59.440And we're going to ban urban camping, as they call it, by building enough shelter beds for them to have a place to stay, get them treatment, get them off the streets.
01:28:09.660And, you know, those who refuse the treatment, it's going to become a little more difficult to live in Arizona because we're not going to allow public drug use,
01:28:17.100the crimes that the chronic street homeless typically are taking part in.
01:28:22.720So it's a little bit of tough love, but there's a lot of love in there.
01:28:26.040And frankly, Glenn, we need all hands on deck.
01:29:04.840Los Angeles now is talking about they're voting on Friday, the city council, on whether or not to demand hotels from five-star to dumps to every day by two o'clock post how many rooms they have open,
01:29:22.600and then they have to shelter the homeless in those rooms.
01:31:23.320I'm going to send you a copy of my book.
01:31:25.380There are states that are now taking it on.
01:31:27.860I think about 22 and the state treasury are pulling all of their resources, all of their investments out of any group like BlackRock that is enforcing ESG standards.
01:32:44.500My education plan calls for a dual-track education after 10th grade.
01:32:50.000And, you know, Glenn, you and I are old enough to remember when we kind of had this in our schools.
01:32:54.640So after 10th grade, you decided if you were going to take that route to go to a four-year college or if you wanted to go and get trade skills, trade training, if you wanted to get vocational training or certification.
01:33:07.280The majority of jobs out there don't require a four-year college.
01:33:10.920They require a little bit of training, and you can go out and actually make a good living.
01:33:16.120They have this down in one of the schools near Tucson in the Vail School District.
01:33:19.940They have a welding program in their school.
01:33:22.420It's so popular they had to grow it the first year.
01:33:25.480Every student who graduates high school from that welding program has a job offer between $70,000 and $100,000 with full benefits.
01:33:36.200I'm telling you, they're going to be able to make a living, provide for their family someday.
01:33:40.300And we've got to start providing our kids a true education that prepares them for the real world out there, not some fantasy land world where they're ending up in debt working at a Starbucks.
01:33:50.980So how would you compare yourself to, let's say, DeSantis, where he is pretty much taking the bull by the horns on every subject and getting a lot of heat for it?
01:34:06.640Where are you when you look at how you would handle your job, and how would you get the House and the Senate on board with you to be able to pass laws and not edicts?
01:34:20.440Well, let's start with the DeSantis part.
01:34:57.760When it comes to our legislature, that's a great question, and I've already been thinking about that.
01:35:02.620As a matter of fact, I talked to President Trump along the way, and I said, would you please consider endorsing some people in the legislature?
01:35:09.680If you want me to be successful as a governor, I've got to have a legislature I can work with.
01:35:14.160We had a majority, but it was a one-vote majority in Arizona.
01:35:18.040And it was, with three rhinos in the legislature, it made it really hard to get a meaningful election legislation planned, or through, rather.
01:35:28.860And so he did endorse three people, and we got rid of three rhinos, and I'm really excited about that.
01:35:35.060So that'll help, and I think we're going to have a red wave, and I will work very closely with the legislature.
01:35:40.400As I said, I'm running for governor, not God.
01:35:42.380We need the legislature to do good work and make sure we're addressing the real problems out there.
01:35:48.100Okay, I'm back with Carrie Lake here in just a second.
01:35:50.520Let me take a one-minute break and tell you about the Tuttle Twins.
01:37:42.760Because you said it with real conviction, and you have been on the inside.
01:37:47.980Well, I really called the media and the people that were part of, and it may have been the media, I don't know, the people who were part of trying to bring me down in the primary.
01:37:58.680And so I don't know who that could have been.
01:38:00.500But, you know, when you're following people's children and you're taking pictures of them and you're parking outside trying to intimidate.
01:38:07.040So I think a part of that was, you know, my opponent, perhaps.
01:39:11.740Maybe it was Zig Ziglar or something like that.
01:39:14.840It was one of those quotes that if you live your life, live your life in a way or in a manner that if they speak ill of you, no one will believe it.
01:39:24.860And I think that kind of sums up why it didn't work.
01:39:28.500Yeah, I think, you know, you and Donald Trump have something going for you.
01:39:32.180You've been in people's homes for a very long time before you were political and people made up their mind about you.
01:39:38.360And, you know, being in a news anchor in Arizona for as long as you were, they have to spend an extra amount of time destroying you because, again, you are.
01:39:54.500People invite you into their living room and you are with them every day, holding their hands when it's really scary and telling them the hard news when sometimes they don't want to hear it.
01:40:05.280And there's a great deal of trust that goes with that if you earn that trust.
01:40:09.220You also talked about destroying the McCain machine.
01:40:15.880Well, I don't think people realize how huge our victory was.
01:40:20.260The McCain machine is kind of the political apparatus that's been operating in Arizona for a generation.
01:40:27.200And unfortunately, it wasn't a machine that was definitely looking out for we the people.
01:40:31.320It was more of a political power that you could not even run for office unless you made your way through that machine and were approved by that machine.
01:40:47.000I think people are trying to read into it that I'm being disrespectful of John McCain.
01:40:51.980I'm talking about the apparatus he created.
01:40:55.480And, you know, the McCain's, you can't say anything about their dad who was in politics for 40 years without them thinking they're being attacked.
01:41:04.260It's like, no, your father was in politics for 40 years.
01:42:07.260It's a joke and it's not hurtful where it started.
01:42:10.720I really don't like and, you know, just calling people names.
01:42:18.820And that's that's not going to help us.
01:42:21.680We have to because they are waking up and those people have to see a welcoming, happy group of people, not a bunch of people like they just left.
01:43:42.640We're in imminent danger and there's no time for delay.
01:43:45.560And we are going to use that clause to take back our control of the border at the state level and take it back from the federal government because they're doing nothing.
01:43:54.600And then we're going to finish President Trump's wall with the materials that are on the border left there.
01:44:00.160Let me ask you, obviously, you've talked to attorneys about using that clause and Texas has not used it.
01:46:27.860We have a good friend and a friend of the program and a brilliant individual.
01:46:42.300James Lindsay, who has just been permanently banned from Twitter after calling a Harvard instructor a child sexual is a sexualization specialist.
01:46:56.580Which I guess might be a euphemism for groomer, but I don't think so.
01:47:01.820That could be a very legitimate term if you're if you're part of this.
01:48:35.260And then I saw the same people and I called them child sexualization specialists instead, which is a little bit more of a specific term because that's what they're doing.
01:48:44.640They're using a particular ideology called queer theory to sexualize children.
01:48:51.260And so, OK, which is different, which in some ways is very different than grooming.
01:48:56.820It doesn't have the intent that I'm going to have sex with you.
01:48:59.600It's just trying to get the kids to have sex.
01:49:02.700And that's that's clearly what is happening.
01:49:29.560The person is not banned for accusing me of such a thing without evidence.
01:49:33.860And so the issue here is that I mean, there's the Twitter issue and then there's the real issue.
01:49:39.460The Twitter issue is that Twitter is complicit in whatever is going on, not passively, but actively.
01:49:44.420It has taken a side in defending people who are actively sexualizing children.
01:49:49.740And that side is to defend those people.
01:49:52.780And that the real issue then is that the rampant sexualization of children for ideological and political purposes is running unchecked in our society.
01:50:01.460And has systemic and institutional support from some of the biggest corporations and entities in our country, including our federal government.
01:50:10.580James, it is it's terrifying how evil this really is.
01:50:15.360They are attacking our family, but not necessarily in the way you would expect.
01:50:20.060The schools are attacking the parents.
01:51:17.680In a reply to Alexandra Colorado or whatever, a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School cyber law clinic who had quoted, quote, tweeted something he posted and wrote.
01:51:38.960So, I mean, it's this kind of stupid, ongoing argument where, OK, groomer has kind of gone back and forth between myself and this individual whom I will not call a woman for any reason whatsoever.
01:51:50.700And because unlike, say, Ketanji Brown Jackson, without referring to an expert or deferring to an expert, I do know what a woman is, and it's not that.
01:52:34.700Tease the tease the situation with this same individual many times over a course of a few months.
01:52:41.160And then finally, in this case, it turned out not to be anything to do with it.
01:52:44.880The person had said that Alex Jones's attorneys were curing people of imposter syndrome, thus implying that those attorneys are completely incompetent.
01:52:53.580To which I replied, now do Kamala Harris, for which this person accused me of what made up a term called misogynoir that was invented in 2010, which is a specific form of misogyny directed at black women.
01:53:07.380And I said, OK, child sexualization specialist to be dismissive.
01:53:22.520And so this was apparently worthy of a lifetime ban from Twitter for myself and any account they think that I might be running in the future.
01:53:32.000So clearly, Twitter is complicit in protecting whatever is going on when you invoke those words, because those words are huge no-nos, which seems to be that they're complicit in protecting the sexualization of our children.
01:53:43.720And as you said, it is a very advanced problem.
01:53:49.200They're doing it behind the parents' back.
01:53:50.920The state of California is passing legislation to make itself a LGBTQ, they call it, sanctuary state, so that if any child from any state in the union, any of the other 49, makes it to California that declares themselves LGBTQ and needing sanctuary, they are now a ward of the state of California.
01:54:08.640California, California can take people's children away from them in other states if the child can just get within California's borders and request that designation.
01:54:19.500And so this is to the point where it's extremely destructive.
01:54:22.860It is teaching children in secret, in schools, not to trust their parents, to want to turn on their parents, to believe their parents don't understand them, that their faith, that their culture, that our nation is all irrelevant and obsolete and needs to be overthrown.
01:54:37.200And using the idea that you don't know who you really are unless you join in what they call queer theory, understandings of who you are, a queer identity, to get there, which is destabilizing of not just the family and the faith, but the child itself.
01:54:52.900This is how you induce personality disorders.
01:54:55.200We talk about irreparable damage from the physical transition, the chemicals, the puberty blockers, the hormones, the surgeries, but this is irreparable psychological and emotional damage being done to our kids.
01:55:10.240This is where we have to draw a line and say this stops now in this country.
01:55:15.400And so I'm working with lawmakers around the country now to ban these things very specifically and with extreme consequence for teachers who think they're going to be a little smart asses and keep it going.
01:55:46.580I'd love to work with lawmakers across the country.
01:55:49.480I've talked with federal lawmakers about this as well.
01:55:52.040And should there be this red wave in the House and the Senate this November, these people are on notice.
01:55:59.040The law is not going to be on their side, and they're not going to get preferential and deferential treatment from the law for much longer.
01:56:04.660Well, I tell you, I don't know who makes it to the finish line first, but they're accelerating, James.
01:56:14.540I mean, you know what I love about you is you're a guy who probably 10 years ago, if you would have known who I was, I don't know if you did, probably would have said, I disagree with everything that guy says.
01:57:06.420I mean, I am optimistic, to be honest with you, just to be really kind of dark, to get to an optimistic point.
01:57:15.060Both the Bolsheviks in Russia and the Chinese Communist Party under Mao attempted the sexualization of children and had to back off from it because it was actually too inflammatory.
01:57:24.980And it seems like they've removed all breaks in America from this.
01:57:28.980This is the issue where it stops being partisan.
