The Glenn Beck Program - Bad Move, Lucasfilm ｜ Guests： Sen. Mike Lee & Rep. Burgess Owens ｜ 2⧸11⧸21

00:00:00.000 Oh, we've got a lot to talk about today.

00:00:02.700 We have got a great show lined up for you.

00:00:05.380 Stand by.

00:00:06.420 Let me tell you about our sponsor for Blaze.

00:00:08.740 The spotlight sponsor this hour is American Financing.

00:00:12.000 So have you done it yet?

00:00:14.260 Stu.

00:00:14.900 Yes.

00:00:15.540 Have you done it yet?

00:00:16.500 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:00:17.440 Did you go to American Financing and look into your loans and try to get a loan that's a low rate?

00:00:22.960 I have gone to American Financing, yes.

00:00:25.340 And I have a loan at a very low rate thanks to American Financing.

00:00:29.260 It's true.

00:00:30.340 And it was very easy.

00:00:32.540 It wasn't this big moment.

00:00:33.920 Was it shocking?

00:00:34.980 Because I know you have always been, you're always like, but I think if I can use this against this and leverage that.

00:00:43.040 Arbitrage is my game.

00:00:44.900 Right.

00:00:45.680 But it was easy for you to get the loan?

00:00:48.560 It wasn't?

00:00:49.100 Yeah, no, it was really easy.

00:00:50.100 I mean, they do a great job and they make the whole process easy and they make sure that you can get the lowest rate possible, which is what I'm concerned about.

00:00:56.880 I mean, I told them, I'm like, I know you guys advertise on the show, but I'm still calling everybody else.

00:01:00.940 You should.

00:01:01.840 You should.

00:01:02.520 I did.

00:01:02.880 And then I wound up going with American Financing.

00:01:04.700 Yeah.

00:01:05.040 American Financing.

00:01:06.100 See what they can do for you and do a consolidation loan without resetting your loan.

00:01:11.020 And if you're paying three or four percent in interest, you're paying too much.

00:01:14.660 It's American Financing.

00:01:15.700 800-906-2440.

00:01:17.460 Go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:19.640 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:49.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:56.980 The mouse has struck again.

00:02:01.440 Mickey Mouse has has struck down the Mandalorian superhero, canceling now Gina Carano for her Republican Jewish analogy.

00:02:16.680 And it only proves her point.

00:02:20.440 We begin with the cancel culture and what this impeachment is really all about.

00:02:28.240 In 60 seconds.

00:02:29.820 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:35.440 All right.

00:02:35.620 I want to talk to you a little bit about losing your identity.

00:02:38.180 I mean, some people have an identity crisis, but now that's taken on a whole new a whole new meaning.

00:02:45.420 Seeing that cyber crime has gone up about 75 percent with coronavirus.

00:02:49.980 I mean, there's just been so many good things that come out of this coronavirus thing.

00:02:53.320 I mean, I'm a huge fan.

00:02:54.620 I'm a huge fan.

00:02:55.080 Yeah.

00:02:55.320 Yeah.

00:02:55.520 Especially what they're doing in Berkeley.

00:02:56.860 Do you hear about this?

00:02:57.540 They're there.

00:02:58.040 They've locked all the students in in University of Berkeley.

00:03:01.880 And they Berkeley.

00:03:02.600 They've just you can leave to go to the bathroom.

00:03:05.580 But then you got to go right back to your dorm.

00:03:07.160 I was very upset that they stopped outdoor solo exercise because I'm as you know, a huge outdoor outdoor exercise guy.

00:03:15.440 I like to do it, too, solo because that way I can just lay down on the ground.

00:03:20.440 Yeah.

00:03:20.520 You can act like you did it.

00:03:21.480 Yeah.

00:03:22.160 Plus, I do like the fact that the Berkeley people are now living my lifestyle.

00:03:27.320 Absolute band.

00:03:27.840 I kind of like the idea that Berkeley students are locked into rooms.

00:03:31.400 But anyway, right now, because of coronavirus, our our information is everywhere on the Internet.

00:03:40.620 And cyber criminals are looking for ways to take things that are ours, including our good name.

00:03:48.500 In fact, that's the most important thing.

00:03:50.380 And if you're just monitoring your credit, if you're just looking at your credit cards, you're going to miss stuff.

00:03:54.580 That's where identity theft and LifeLock comes in.

00:03:58.420 They are looking at the things that you might miss on your own.

00:04:02.020 Nobody is covering you like LifeLock.

00:04:04.880 Nobody can stop all of it, but they are the best.

00:04:07.220 And if something slips through, they will assign a team.

00:04:11.800 They have a special team that is just there to make sure that you get your good name back and they work with you to do it.

00:04:19.420 Save up to 25 percent off your first year.

00:04:21.120 LifeLock.com with promo code back.

00:04:22.720 LifeLock.com promo code back.

00:04:24.520 One eight hundred LifeLock.

00:04:26.560 LifeLock.com promo code back.

00:04:28.080 Actress Gina Carano has incurred the wrath of the mob, the mob that runs Hollywood, the universities and the arts. 1.00

00:04:43.140 She made a historic historical analogy with the intention of giving people pause in the relentless crusade to ostracize non leftist from society.

00:04:54.960 This is what she wrote in a post.

00:04:58.000 Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors, even by children.

00:05:05.400 Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews,

00:05:14.640 the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.

00:05:20.700 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?

00:05:23.900 She is absolutely one hundred percent correct.

00:05:29.140 They did it through propaganda.

00:05:31.140 They did it through smears and they did it through intimidation.

00:05:35.160 And they praised the people who did it.

00:05:39.460 So if if you were if you were beating Jews in the streets, you'd be held up by the Nazi party as one of the good guys. 0.94

00:05:49.760 You'd get special praise.

00:05:52.640 If you said something in defense, the opposite would happen.

00:06:00.020 Well, just to show how much they don't hate her political views and don't want to silence people or beat them into submission.

00:06:08.320 They lobbied to have Disney beat her into submission. 0.99

00:06:13.280 And when she wouldn't submit, they fired her.

00:06:17.060 She is not currently employed by Lucasfilm.

00:06:20.280 And according to Disney, there are no plans for her to be hired in the future.

00:06:24.480 Her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.

00:06:31.940 Her her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.

00:06:40.760 What to say? 0.98

00:06:43.060 Hey, you know, you know how you get people to beat Jews. 1.00

00:06:48.080 You run a campaign and you get the neighbors to beat the Jews for you. 1.00

00:06:52.420 What should you know what we should you know what we should.

00:06:56.060 We should we should start banning things like Schindler's List, because that showed how the German people, not just the Nazis, how the German neighbors were involved, how people were involved in that that didn't wear the swastika or the uniform.

00:07:14.460 We should ban that.

00:07:15.560 We should.

00:07:15.840 You know what?

00:07:16.840 Stu, let's make a list of books we should ban.

00:07:19.900 Always a good idea.

00:07:20.940 And with no historical echo at all.

00:07:23.040 Well, none, none that could be said about the Nazis.

00:07:26.060 We can't mention it.

00:07:26.780 No, no, no, no, no.

00:07:28.960 All right.

00:07:29.800 Let me tell you what's going on.

00:07:30.880 You know this already.

00:07:32.120 This is just to intimidate you and everyone else.

00:07:35.200 This is the way that dictators do it. 0.97

00:07:39.320 This is the way.

00:07:40.940 What does that mean?

00:07:42.420 Is that code?

00:07:43.240 Is that a Zionist code? 0.89

00:07:44.400 I can't I can't talk about the code.

00:07:45.820 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:46.400 OK, this is the way dictators take over countries. 0.99

00:07:51.560 They take over countries by propaganda. 0.56

00:07:56.700 That's why propaganda is so dangerous, especially when it is being done by the state and in our case, also powerful corporations.

00:08:08.480 Now, let me give you one of those powerful corporations, the New York Times.

00:08:13.860 Now, I'm going to address address the New York Times specifically on this article in about 50 minutes.

00:08:22.520 So you don't want to miss that.

00:08:24.680 But there's an article that runs today, how right wing radio stoked anger before the Capitol siege.

00:08:32.100 The New York Times writes shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other talk radio stars promoted debunked claims of stolen election and urge listeners to fight back.

00:08:44.620 Two days before the mob of Trump supporters invaded the United States Capitol, upending the nation's peaceful transition of power and leaving at least five people dead.

00:08:55.540 The right wing radio star Glenn Beck delivered a message to his flock of listeners.

00:09:01.340 It's time to fight.

00:09:02.840 It's quoting it's time to rip and claw and rake and quote, Mr.

00:09:09.120 Beck said on his January 4th broadcast, quote, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:09:16.740 End quote.

00:09:18.520 Hmm.

00:09:19.740 OK, time to rip, claw and rake. 0.97

00:09:22.240 And it's January 4th broadcast.

00:09:23.960 It's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:09:27.140 Why?

00:09:27.720 Why is that a problem?

00:09:29.900 Why is that a problem?

00:09:30.960 Well, then, because if you have a problem with that, you're criticizing how the left went to war four years ago, which I don't remember them doing.

00:09:37.980 OK, I don't remember that part of the story.

00:09:41.060 Well, you should listen to the monologue.

00:09:42.920 Oh, we'll get into that later.

00:09:45.200 Former Fox News host, Mr.

00:09:47.000 Beck, has speculated for weeks about baseless claims of voter fraud in the presidential race.

00:09:52.940 He told listeners that Donald J.

00:09:54.820 Trump had taught conservatives that you don't have to cower anymore.

00:09:57.920 You don't have to back down when ridiculed into oblivion.

00:10:01.320 You can fight back.

00:10:03.100 Yeah, that's true.

00:10:05.380 Is that a bad message?

00:10:06.500 Is that a bad message to tell people that you don't have to cower?

00:10:10.960 Don't live in fear.

00:10:12.300 Stand up for what you believe in.

00:10:14.540 Is that somehow now a bad message to reject the bullies?

00:10:20.860 I mean, would you like to hear an anti-bullying message from, I don't know, the New York Times?

00:10:33.320 It's amazing.

00:10:35.720 Now it's not OK to say, stand up straight.

00:10:39.460 Don't be ashamed of who you are.

00:10:41.800 Stand up.

00:10:42.300 If somebody calls you a name, dismiss it.

00:10:46.000 Stand up.

00:10:46.620 Fight back.

00:10:47.340 Speak the truth.

00:10:48.300 Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to invade the Capitol.

00:10:54.520 And a day later, a day later, because I've never done this before, a day later, he urged

00:10:59.660 marchers in Washington to really kind of channel, quoting, your inner Martin Luther King.

00:11:04.880 Wait.

00:11:05.760 Wait.

00:11:07.200 Hmm?

00:11:07.940 You asked people to channel their inner Martin Luther King, which, of course, I've heard you 0.51

00:11:11.680 do thousands of times.

00:11:12.900 Yeah.

00:11:13.100 And the article is about how you tried to get people to riot at the Capitol?

00:11:19.340 Yes.

00:11:19.440 Yes.

00:11:19.580 I don't remember that part of the Martin Luther King story.

00:11:22.720 Well, remember when Martin Luther King said, cower.

00:11:27.480 You've got to cower in fear.

00:11:29.600 Don't stand up.

00:11:30.820 Don't speak your mind.

00:11:32.480 No.

00:11:32.940 He was saying, when you go in to the lunch counter, cower.

00:11:37.540 I don't remember that.

00:11:38.580 He said, sit down.

00:11:39.820 That's what he said.

00:11:40.640 Sit down.

00:11:41.860 I mean, I'm saying don't sit down.

00:11:44.660 Okay.

00:11:45.160 He said, sit down.

00:11:47.400 I mean, I'm glad they included the Martin Luther King point, but doesn't it totally disprove

00:11:52.960 their argument from the first paragraph?

00:11:54.640 Yes, it does.

00:11:55.140 But they don't care.

00:11:56.200 Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to invade the Capitol.

00:11:58.440 Day later, he urged marchers in Washington to really kind of channel your inner Martin Luther

00:12:01.720 King, adding that violence is just, quoting, just not who we've ever been, end quote.

00:12:06.340 Wait a minute.

00:12:07.580 No, no, no.

00:12:08.540 They also put that in there?

00:12:10.160 Yes, they did.

00:12:10.960 But the language he used on his January 4th show was typical of the aggressive rhetoric

00:12:19.040 that permeated conservative talk radio in the weeks before the Washington siege.

00:12:23.780 Well, I can tell you this.

00:12:24.500 The Martin Luther King point is typical of the Glenn Beck program for the last decade.

00:12:29.600 Yeah.

00:12:29.980 Maybe decade and a half.

00:12:31.380 At least.

00:12:32.040 Yeah.

00:12:32.600 But wait.

00:12:33.760 What?

00:12:34.380 So there's a way.

00:12:35.260 No, no, no.

00:12:35.720 I have to.

00:12:36.480 No, I need at least one moment on this.

00:12:38.300 Right.

00:12:38.520 They're saying on December 4th.

00:12:41.180 January 4th.

00:12:41.940 Excuse me.

00:12:42.300 January 4th.

00:12:43.180 Yeah.

00:12:43.560 You said, we need to fight.

00:12:46.540 And then also said you need to fight like the Democrats did in 2016.

00:12:49.120 Yeah, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:12:53.180 And then you said the Martin Luther King thing not on the 6th after the violence.

00:12:57.420 Right.

00:12:57.660 You said the Martin Luther King thing on the 5th before the day of the violence.

00:13:02.840 Right.

00:13:03.200 And they're still leading a column about the violence with you?

00:13:07.020 Yeah.

00:13:07.500 Well, that's fascinating.

00:13:08.980 They're using me as the rhetoric that is heard all throughout talk radio.

00:13:16.380 Doesn't it seem like if, okay, you go down this road and you're like, all right, I'm

00:13:19.360 going to write this thing.

00:13:19.980 And here's a quote from Glenn Beck that looks really bad out of context.

00:13:22.380 I'm going to put it in there.

00:13:23.020 When you make the decision that you add the Martin Luther King point, which totally disproves

00:13:30.320 what you've just written.

00:13:31.200 That might have been added because we may have said, if you print this the way you say

00:13:37.040 you're going to print this, your lawsuit will make your eyes bleed.

00:13:41.560 Okay.

00:13:41.840 Okay.

00:13:42.200 They may have put the Martin Luther King thing in there because.

00:13:45.620 So this was not their suggestion.

00:13:47.580 This was not their suggestion.

00:13:49.480 In fact, and I'm going to get into this because I have the email, I'm going to show you where

00:13:55.420 they started.

00:13:56.580 And it was, it's time to go to war. 0.74

00:14:00.420 And they left out as the left went to the war four years ago.

00:14:03.640 They left that part out originally.

00:14:05.420 So yeah, that was a negotiation point.

00:14:07.980 Oh, the comma in that sentence.

00:14:10.280 Okay.

00:14:10.840 So anyway, the reason why I'm bringing this up here is because I want you to know what

00:14:16.540 is really happening in Washington.

00:14:18.640 As we discussed yesterday, the Democrats don't have a prayer of impeaching, I'm sorry,

00:14:26.700 of convicting Donald Trump.

00:14:28.960 Okay.

00:14:29.180 They don't have a prayer of it.

00:14:30.540 They're not going to win.

00:14:32.640 So why are they doing this battle?

00:14:35.760 Several reasons.

00:14:37.060 I'll give you the biggest in a second.

00:14:39.420 First, it's a distraction.

00:14:42.480 No, no, sorry.

00:14:43.120 It's a distraction.

00:14:44.320 First, it's a distraction.

00:14:45.800 You have to distract from what's really going on in the first 100 days.

00:14:52.000 The second thing that is happening now is they are trying to make sure that you understand.

00:15:02.820 And don't stand up.

00:15:05.220 Don't stand up.

00:15:06.160 You cower in fear.

00:15:07.900 If anyone tries to run for president and take on the machine, the machine will kill them.

00:15:13.700 It will destroy them in every way possible.

00:15:17.200 And they're teaching you a lesson by teaching Donald Trump a lesson.

00:15:22.660 This is what you get if you come against us.

00:15:25.840 Okay.

00:15:26.120 But here's the third reason.

00:15:28.300 And it is, I believe, a very important reason.

00:15:33.240 In fact, I think it might be the most important reason.

00:15:37.540 They are tying rhetoric directly to violence.

00:15:42.440 Now, they will never tie their rhetoric to violence.

00:15:47.320 But any time the right says something, they tried to do this with a Tea Party, but we were so disciplined that we didn't ever give them an opening.

00:15:57.400 And they were trying to tie us into violence.

00:16:00.120 Well, now they have the one case where the Tea Party is violent.

00:16:04.720 SEIU beating people in the streets during the Tea Party.

00:16:07.860 They had no problem with that.

00:16:09.780 No problem with that.

00:16:11.040 But our violent rhetoric, which never turned to violence, that's where they were headed.

00:16:18.280 Now they have it.

00:16:20.040 So this article, it's not a coincidence that, A, that monologue was a monologue that referenced Media Matters.

00:16:29.140 I can guarantee you Media Matters has its fingers all over this story.

00:16:33.680 Second, it's not a coincidence that it is coming out right now.

00:16:38.780 As they are showing all the violence on television that happened on January 6th, which was despicable.

00:16:47.920 And we condemned it immediately.

00:16:51.580 While it was happening.

00:16:52.240 While it was happening.

00:16:54.760 While that was happening, we're condemning it.

00:16:58.960 They take this video now and they're pushing it through and they've got all the media showing Trump's violent rhetoric.

00:17:06.780 See, this is what happens when you have a leader that does this.

00:17:11.300 But now they also want to tie in and say, yeah, but the leader also had some helpers along the way.

00:17:18.240 He he had right wing radio.

00:17:22.040 They have been trying to shut us down for so long.

00:17:25.520 The targets in this article, Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino, Mark Levin and me.

00:17:34.040 Well, two out of the four have cancer.

00:17:36.360 So I think it's great that they're taking on cancer patients now and accusing them of horrible things as they are fighting cancer.

00:17:45.400 However, but they're doing that for a reason.

00:17:49.460 They need us to be removed.

00:17:52.540 They need talk radio to be shut down.

00:17:55.780 I guarantee you the House and the Senate will move.

00:18:01.240 And if they don't move, it will just happen through the FCC.

00:18:05.000 They will do everything they can to silence our voices because they need you to not have a freedom of association, freedom of speech.

00:18:19.320 They need you to stop having a place to where you can gather your thoughts.

00:18:25.180 They need you to feel alone.

00:18:29.780 But you won't be alone.

00:18:31.540 You won't be alone in this fight.

00:18:35.940 You won't be alone in your stand.

00:18:40.420 Because wherever, wherever there is a group of people that are trying to erase our God given constitutionally protected rights.

00:18:54.840 You will find good patriots willing to stand up and fight.

00:19:03.240 Did he say fight?

00:19:06.500 How do you mean fight, Glenn?

00:19:08.360 I know we're not intelligent enough to know after a lifetime of using the word fight, having cheerleaders go fight, fight, fight. 1.00

00:19:18.280 But we're so stupid that we don't realize that there are many ways to take that term. 0.98

00:19:26.460 And especially those who listen to this program who have heard me talk about Gandhi and F and MLK forever. 0.99

00:19:36.480 Incessantly.

00:19:37.600 I mean, gosh, going back to.

00:19:40.220 Okay, stop.

00:19:41.760 Don't need to hear it.

00:19:44.300 Just know this is why impeachment is happening.

00:19:47.720 This is what is happening in social media.

00:19:51.160 And it's about to come like a bag of bricks onto talk radio.

00:19:56.380 You will never silence me.

00:19:59.640 You will find me beneath a tree in your town square or in some farm.

00:20:07.140 And I will be there telling you the true history of America, what's truly going on, and how we need to stand shoulder to shoulder and try to be servants of the Lord so he will provide us some protection.

00:20:28.360 Back in just a minute, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:20:31.520 It is Ray Kahn.

00:20:32.660 I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of my time looking for my ear pods because my kids always were taking them.

00:20:42.680 That's when I got everybody this last Christmas Ray Kahn's.

00:20:45.740 Hey, Merry Christmas.

00:20:46.900 Everybody got a Ray Kahn.

00:20:48.500 Dad's got two.

00:20:49.960 The one I'm not telling you about because somebody is going to lose theirs and take mine and then they will lose those and I will still have another pair.

00:20:57.780 Ray Kahn.

00:20:58.440 Give your eyes a rest and listen to things.

00:21:01.320 Listen to great podcasts.

00:21:03.400 Listen to great books, but also listen to great music and don't listen to everything else that's going on.

00:21:44.500 You were gone.

00:21:56.880 You were gone, Stu, to the Super Bowl when I got this letter and this email from the writer of the New York Times.

00:22:06.080 I guess so.

00:22:06.640 And I read it and I was like, there's no way I said that paragraph.

00:22:12.920 There's no way I said that paragraph.

00:22:17.420 And then I noticed the dot, dot, dot in between every line.

00:22:22.700 And so we looked the transcript up.

00:22:27.620 Oh, wait.

00:22:29.480 Oh, wait until you see the gold medal Olympian that had to be performing this article and writing this article.

00:22:40.340 The jumps through the hoops and the twists and the bends.

00:22:46.240 Remarkable.

00:23:06.700 I'm not the devil.

00:23:07.680 I just want to take credit for something I'm proud of inventing.

00:23:11.420 Sure, I've invented a lot of things over the years.

00:23:14.040 It's the Black Plague, mosquitoes, salads, musical stylings of Yoko Ono, the New York Times.

00:23:23.480 But above all those things, I think the thing I'm most proud of is inventing the timeshare.

00:23:30.640 Yeah.

00:23:31.780 Yeah, that was pretty good, wasn't it?

00:23:34.020 Yeah, I mean, I convince that one lady to eat an apple over people's eyes so perfectly. 1.00

00:24:20.780 Yes.

00:24:21.020 It's great.

00:24:34.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:36.680 Well, in reading the New York Times, I find out that Mike Lee does not have a problem with the riots.

00:24:44.040 I think he was cheering them on.

00:24:46.500 And he thought that Donald Trump should get a mulligan for it.

00:24:51.160 This is a story by Glenn Thrush.

00:24:53.880 Mike Lee suggests Trump should get a mulligan for the Capitol Riot Day speech.

00:25:00.200 Wow, that doesn't sound like Mike Lee.

00:25:04.160 In an email to Mr. Lee's spokesman requesting an explanation of his remarks, it was not immediately returned, but some of his defenders on social media said that he was making a larger point about the need for civility in both parties.

00:25:17.480 But that's only some in social media.

00:25:19.420 As an example of what he viewed as a recent transgression, Mr. Lee singled out Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, for making it personal, quote, end quote, when she recently took a swipe at his ally, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

00:25:39.540 A swipe, wow.

00:25:42.280 I guess that's what she said when he was planning on having her killed.

00:25:46.900 I guess that was a swipe to the New York Times.

00:25:50.140 Calling someone a murderer is definitely a swipe.

00:25:52.320 It is a swipe.

00:25:53.760 It's definitely one word for it.

00:25:54.920 Senator Mike Lee here to answer the charges.

00:25:58.540 Go ahead.

00:25:59.260 The courts are listening, Mike.

00:26:01.080 Well, you know, unfortunately, she only accused him of attempted murder.

00:26:07.040 Right, right.

00:26:08.580 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:26:09.380 If if it was actual murder, then that wouldn't have been a swipe.

00:26:12.840 That would have been important.

00:26:13.760 But this was attempted murder.

00:26:15.840 Right.

00:26:16.680 Exactly.

00:26:17.240 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:17.900 One of the things I've learned is that, you know, you've got a problem with your news source when every single time they print something as to which you have personal knowledge that wrong.

00:26:28.620 Yeah, I'm sure that's just a massive coincidence here.

00:26:31.080 Yes, I'm sure it is.

00:26:32.340 I'm sure it is.

00:26:33.020 It's probably that you're listening to the wrong sources.

00:26:37.040 You're part of the conspiracy cabal.

00:26:39.620 You know, that's probably what the what the problem is, Mike.

00:26:43.740 Tell me the interesting thing there.

00:26:45.760 Yeah, go ahead.

00:26:46.240 I just want I just I just want you to because I know the context and what is so crazy is the context that this was set in was to say, let's ratchet things down a bit.

00:27:01.080 And I'm going to give everybody a mulligan because everybody makes mistakes.

00:27:05.000 You were talking to the left.

00:27:06.820 You weren't talking about Donald Trump.

00:27:09.840 That's exactly right.

00:27:10.920 I was talking to and in that sense, in defense of some of my colleagues on the far left who had said some really inflammatory stuff, stuff that rivals a lot of the things that are being attacked that have been said by people on the right.

00:27:28.080 And so I said, look, referring specifically to those people on the left, people like AOC, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer.

00:27:39.980 I said, everyone from time to time says something that they regret.

00:27:44.520 And, you know, they probably ought to take a mulligan on this one.

00:27:48.540 Everyone's entitled to one of those once in a while.

00:27:50.940 But the point is, we shouldn't be saying things like this in no way, shape or form.

00:27:57.000 Did I say that President Trump ought to be taking a mulligan on this?

00:28:01.040 That had nothing to do with President Trump.

00:28:02.960 And yet somehow the geniuses at New York Times and the geniuses at Fox 13 in Salt Lake City and about 50 other news outlets throughout the country picked it up and took exactly that message directly contrary to the fact.

00:28:18.960 And the truth is, this reflects what can best be characterized as reckless disregard for the truth.

00:28:26.840 But they're going to be the arbiters of truth here soon, Mike.

00:28:30.980 They are pushing for it and trying to silence anyone that has a different opinion.

00:28:37.500 No, that's exactly right.

00:28:39.560 And they're playing off of the famous Supreme Court case, New York Times versus Sullivan.

00:28:47.520 It basically gives them impunity to defame people so long as they're not acting with knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth.

00:28:55.520 And yet, oddly enough, here, they seem to have crossed that threshold.

00:28:58.540 And I've got another one for you.

00:29:00.220 They just wrote a story about me today in The New York Times that they they knowingly, knowingly are printing things that are just false as a news story.

00:29:12.940 If it was a if it was an opinion piece, that'd be one thing.

00:29:16.520 But this is a news story.

00:29:19.640 And it's despicable, Mike.

00:29:22.160 Let's talk a little bit about the impeachment trial itself.

00:29:25.340 First of all, are you seeing any movement at all with anyone on either side?

00:29:31.800 The Democrats making a good case or any of the Republicans going, oh, I don't know.

00:29:37.040 That's a good point.

00:29:37.940 OK, look, here's what I'll tell you on that front.

00:29:42.120 There's no doubt horrible things happened on January 6th.

00:29:46.340 There's no doubt that we should have been able to avoid it.

00:29:52.200 I wish we had been able to avoid it.

00:29:53.720 I've said for a long time that I don't think that there should have been an effort to try to win the election on January 6th, because if you read the 12th Amendment and if you read Article two of the Constitution, they don't make that possible.

00:30:10.780 It is the states that decide these things and not Congress.

00:30:15.280 Correct.

00:30:15.620 Congress is there only to count.

00:30:17.120 It has one job.

00:30:18.000 Open and count.

00:30:18.660 Open and count.

00:30:19.160 That's that's it.

00:30:21.420 These things that happened on January 6th were tragic.

00:30:24.520 They were horrific.

00:30:27.360 All of that being the case, it is different than what is on trial this week.

00:30:35.600 What's on trial this week is different than that.

00:30:39.540 And there are a number of us, 44 of us, to be precise, that don't believe that it's appropriate for the Senate to exercise jurisdiction as a court of impeachment after a president's term of office has expired.

00:30:52.800 OK, can I give you something on this?

00:30:54.720 Just just to play devil's advocate.

00:30:57.140 Give give me a give Mike the quote from John Adams.

00:31:00.500 John Quincy Adams.

00:31:01.520 Yeah.

00:31:02.340 Let's see.

00:31:02.940 Here we go.

00:31:03.200 I hold myself so long as I have the breath of life in my body amenable to impeachment by the House for everything I did during the time I held any public office.

00:31:13.960 Yeah, that's great.

00:31:15.240 And I've seen that quote.

00:31:16.100 And I understand his point.

00:31:18.660 I don't think he's necessarily approaching this as a textualist.

00:31:21.860 I don't think he's necessarily approaching this as someone who sees the abuse of government powers that can be brought to bear with an impeachment trial.

00:31:31.500 I don't think he anticipated the issues that could arise as a result of it.

00:31:36.680 Now, look, I will grant you this much as a strict textual matter.

00:31:41.100 It is a very close call.

00:31:43.180 I actually think the text can be read one way or the other, thus requiring us to make some prudential judgment calls about how best it ought to fit into this framework.

00:31:53.580 But when you look at the floodgates, this thing would open.

00:31:57.200 You imagine what would happen.

00:31:58.360 Just for example, the next time we have a red wave election, you'd see massive calls for impeachment proceedings on Hillary Clinton, for Benghazi, on Jim Comey, maybe even for Jimmy Carter, going back to the fact that he gave away the Panama Canal.

00:32:12.720 This would result in an interminable succession of absurd impeachment proceedings.

00:32:16.840 I don't think that's good for the country.

00:32:18.480 I don't think we ought to give Congress that power.

00:32:20.240 So when the chief justice decided not to be seated for this, does this make this a kangaroo court?

00:32:32.820 I mean, isn't that part of the Constitution?

00:32:36.600 First of all, it's not at all clear to me that the chief justice declined anything.

00:32:40.820 From what I understand, the chief justice was never invited to preside.

00:32:45.880 What?

00:32:46.200 They knew that by the time we got the articles of impeachment, 10 days or so, mind you, after they had passed them, and nearly a week after President Trump had left office,

00:33:00.820 they knew that he wasn't the president, and thus it wasn't appropriate to have the chief justice attend.

00:33:08.120 Someone floated the rumor that he had been invited and declined.

00:33:11.620 Now, unless there's something out there that's changed, that's simply not true.

00:33:18.000 My understanding is that he was never invited in the first place.

00:33:21.020 Why?

00:33:21.400 Well, they knew he's not the president, and therefore there's no reason to have the chief justice.

00:33:27.140 Okay, so does it make this, I mean, is it constitutional to an impeachment?

00:33:33.080 Doesn't it say the Supreme Court justice comes and oversees it?

00:33:39.020 Yes, yes.

00:33:42.200 If, in fact, the president is being tried for impeachment.

00:33:46.340 But here, we don't have the president or the vice president or any civil officers of the United States.

00:33:52.560 You have a former president.

00:33:54.120 It's a different thing.

00:33:55.060 It doesn't require the chief justice to preside.

00:33:57.280 By my reading, it shouldn't allow us to have a trial at all.

00:34:01.440 Now, this would have been different.

00:34:03.040 If that would have been a completely different set of questions we were facing, have the House of Representatives initiated this process and actually delivered the articles of impeachment right after they passed them?

00:34:14.200 They didn't.

00:34:15.040 They sat on them.

00:34:16.220 Why?

00:34:16.800 I'm not really sure.

00:34:18.000 You're going to have to ask Nancy Pelosi that question.

00:34:20.280 But it makes a huge difference for them, and they really need to live with the consequences, and that's what they're facing now.

00:34:27.420 It's one of the reasons why I don't think there will be a shift in the outcome of this impeachment.

00:34:31.580 Remember, in order for an impeachment trial to be successful, you can have no more than 33 senators voting to acquit.

00:34:43.060 But we've got 44 already who are saying just on jurisdictional grounds alone we shouldn't do this.

00:34:50.240 And so unless something dramatic changes, which I don't see, we're nowhere close.

00:34:54.440 So then why are they doing this?

00:34:56.940 Again, this is remarkable stuff.

00:35:00.140 This, to me, leads to banana republic kind of stuff, because as you've just said, you get a red wave, then who do they take out? 0.91

00:35:10.460 This is what dictatorships do.

00:35:12.740 This is what banana republics do. 1.00

00:35:14.420 So what is their gain?

00:35:16.440 What is the real goal, do you think, Mike?

00:35:20.700 It appears to me they're doing everything they can to smear Republicans, smear conservatives, smear people who support or supported Donald Trump at any moment.

00:35:33.880 And all along the way, they're characterizing the evidence.

00:35:36.980 In fact, it's not, at least so far, it's not like a normal trial.

00:35:42.560 They're not bringing in witnesses.

00:35:44.280 They're basically reciting things from news reports written by their liberal allies with the most smearing characterization they can possibly find.

00:35:54.900 Some of them turn out to be inaccurate.

00:35:56.940 I made an objection last night.

00:35:58.140 I saw it.

00:35:58.700 To some evidence that they claimed to have that I personally knew about, and I asked that it be stricken because I knew it not to be true.

00:36:07.140 Look, it's always hard for me to speak to another person's subjective intent.

00:36:11.280 But what I do know is that they seem to be having a good time doing everything they can to just say Republicans are awful. 0.98

00:36:19.240 And all of these people who supported Donald Trump are awful. 0.94

00:36:24.640 I think that's unfortunate.

00:36:25.620 So the problem with this is, is they are not only saying they're awful, but they're also using social media, the media itself, and the New York Times article today to silence people and to label them as violent extremists.

00:36:46.060 We have 5,000 troops still on the ground in in Washington, D.C. without a defined mission that doesn't happen.

00:36:57.160 The Department of Homeland Security says there is no credible or specific threat.

00:37:04.820 What is going on, Mike?

00:37:06.720 You can't keep calling half the country violent extremists.

00:37:11.580 And I mean, because at some point you're like, well, then we got to do something about it.

00:37:15.200 If they're all violent extremists, we have to do.

00:37:17.720 Well, what do you do?

00:37:18.840 This is not about an election anymore.

00:37:22.180 You know, I'll tell you, Glenn, we have to take down that wall.

00:37:26.240 Every day when I come into work, I have to pass this enormous wall with razor wire, with armed military all around it.

00:37:36.380 Not only are these bad optics, this is bad substance.

00:37:40.460 This is not who we are.

00:37:41.880 This is not what we need to do.

00:37:43.380 And I call on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and my colleagues in the Senate and counterparts in the House to tear down this wall and do it now.

00:37:53.660 Mike Lee, thank you so much.

00:37:54.860 Mike Lee, Senator of Utah.

00:37:56.680 I'd like to talk to you more about that.

00:37:57.980 I mean, I remember Reagan saying that.

00:38:02.140 Never thought I would hear Mike Lee say those words to Chuck Schumer about a wall, let alone the wall around the Capitol.

00:38:14.460 Tear down this wall.

00:38:16.440 Tim lives lives in Maine.

00:38:21.700 He writes about his dog, Sugar.

00:38:24.160 Sugar is experienced with rough greens after being a picky eater.

00:38:27.340 He writes, I have been using rough greens for close to two weeks now.

00:38:30.340 Sugar is almost 10 years old.

00:38:32.420 She has a better appetite than I've seen in three years since I've had her.

00:38:36.540 Thanks, rough greens. 0.68

00:38:37.860 Tim, thanks for taking care of your dog.

00:38:39.800 Thanks for giving rough greens the trial test to see if your dog will eat it.

00:38:44.880 Now sit back and watch the results in your dog.

00:38:48.440 Over the next six months, you're going to be blown away how much sugar changes.

00:38:52.980 One of the things with my dog is a finicky eater does not even begin to describe it.

00:38:58.580 He just would not eat.

00:39:01.560 He runs to his bowl.

00:39:03.320 He is constantly, if I don't feed him or Tanya doesn't feed him, you know, on time, seven o'clock, he doesn't have something.

00:39:09.180 He is now up nudging.

00:39:11.220 He puts his nose underneath my arm and he's like, hey, dad, hey, dad, hey, dad, time to eat, time to eat.

00:39:17.340 It's amazing.

00:39:18.520 Rough greens, not a dog food, but rather a supplement that you sprinkle on the food.

00:39:45.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:56.760 Oh, my personal missive to The New York Times coming up in just a few minutes.

00:40:01.120 You don't want to miss that.

00:40:02.520 You know, talking to Mike Lee, you know, when he when I asked him about the constitutionality, he was he kind of deferred to the way it's going to be used.

00:40:11.360 It's really wrong the way it could possibly be used.

00:40:14.740 And I think John Quincy Adams did see that.

00:40:16.840 I think that's what he was talking about, that some radicals could get in and they could come after me because of whatever.

00:40:22.480 But, you know, Mike has been the one who really changed my mind on.

00:40:28.700 I said, why don't we put these people in jail, meaning like former officials that did things wrong, did things like really wrong.

00:40:34.360 Hillary Clinton, in my opinion, she should have gone to jail. 1.00

00:40:36.840 And he said, once they've left office, you don't.

00:40:40.480 He said, in my opinion, you don't want to go after people because it will start this cycle and of revenge, of revenge.

00:40:48.820 And he's been consistent about that for a long time, for a long time.

00:40:52.040 And, you know, now that Trump is out of office, what are you doing?

00:40:56.980 I mean, this is the second time they've tried to impeach him with nothing, with literally nothing, knowing they could not convict him twice.

00:41:09.420 You don't think revenge might be a thought?

00:41:11.500 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:15.420 Well, the New York Times has written a couple of articles.

00:42:18.060 One that just came out.

00:42:19.100 Does media violence lead to the real thing?

00:42:23.620 What?

00:42:25.320 If you are consuming a lot of violence and you're hearing violent rhetoric, can it lead to the real thing?

00:42:35.000 The New York Times wants you to know, yes.

00:42:37.640 Now, we've talked about that with movies.

00:42:40.960 We've talked about that with violent video games.

00:42:44.140 And we've told you that it doesn't lead.

00:42:46.520 It just can.

00:42:48.100 It can lead to those people who are susceptible to it.

00:42:52.900 And now, apparently, the New York Times has decided, oh, you know what?

00:42:58.420 Maybe there is something to that.

00:43:00.680 You don't think it has anything to do with what they're saying in the impeachment trial, do you?

00:43:06.140 Nah, that's too.

00:43:07.340 Oh, also, the New York Times has come out with a new article about how Donald Trump has henchmen.

00:43:15.260 He's got some people doing his bidding.

00:43:17.480 He's got right-wing talk radio.

00:43:20.460 And how that has affected people all over this country to rise up in violence.

00:43:29.300 Oh, yeah.

00:43:30.560 My answer to the New York Times in 60 seconds.

00:43:33.720 So, you want one of them?

00:43:38.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:39.100 Gosh.

00:43:39.700 And the Mandalorian, man, he scares me because I think he's here to cancel us. 0.99

00:43:45.300 I'm just, every time I hear that Mandalorian voice, I'm like, that's Disney.

00:43:48.980 And they're here to cancel yet another character.

00:43:53.200 MyPillow is our sponsor of this half hour.

00:43:58.020 You're looking for great sheets.

00:43:59.200 And I mean, the best sheets I have slept on at the unbelievable low price.

00:44:07.540 I think it's two for one.

00:44:09.460 It's $70.

00:44:10.780 Two for one.

00:44:12.840 Or is it, yeah.

00:44:13.960 Or is it $35?

00:44:14.860 I can't even remember.

00:44:15.700 Either way, they are crazy inexpensive.

00:44:19.200 And it's Giza cotton.

00:44:21.040 It's the best cotton.

00:44:22.000 And the more you use them, the softer they become.

00:44:24.840 The more you wash them, the softer they become.

00:44:26.560 But because it's Giza cotton, it's really, really sturdy and strong.

00:45:05.380 So I want to start here.

00:45:07.520 I want to start with a story.

00:45:12.800 And it's a true story.

00:45:15.100 It's about Gandhi.

00:45:17.420 A woman who took her son to see Gandhi because she couldn't stop him from eating candy.

00:45:22.100 And it wasn't easy to get to Gandhi.

00:45:26.120 It wasn't easy to see Gandhi.

00:45:28.220 But she did.

00:45:30.200 And she stood in front of Gandhi and she said, my son, would you please tell my son how damaging sweets are that he has to have a balanced diet?

00:45:39.300 And Gandhi said, come back in two weeks.

00:45:42.360 She was really kind of smoked.

00:45:46.120 I mean, it was not easy.

00:45:48.520 She walked for miles with her son under scorching sun in India.

00:45:57.580 And all the way, she's like, what was the point of that?

00:46:02.060 Going to see him.

00:46:03.280 And then he's like, come back in a couple of weeks.

00:46:05.120 Well, they returned home.

00:46:08.060 She was exhausted.

00:46:10.300 Two weeks later, her son is still obsessed with sugar, candy.

00:46:15.280 And she makes the trek again.

00:46:19.360 Gandhi says, boy, you need to stop eating candy.

00:46:25.660 Sugar is bad for your health.

00:46:27.480 She looked at him and said, you couldn't have said that the first time we were here.

00:46:33.280 What was the two week wait for?

00:46:35.180 Why didn't you say?

00:46:35.940 Because that's all he said.

00:46:38.240 That is what he looked at her and he said.

00:46:41.420 I told you to come back in two weeks because I have an unhealthy love of sugar myself and I needed two weeks in order to give up candy before I told someone else to do it.

00:46:56.760 Now, the reason why I know this story is true, because there's some speculation that this is this is myth.

00:47:04.120 But I know it to be true because Al Gore used it in his 1992 book, Earth in the Balance.

00:47:12.960 So if anybody wants to fact check that, you better talk to Al Gore, because I believe everything that Al Gore writes.

00:47:21.760 The reason why I'm starting with that is because I have an unhealthy, an unhealthy attraction to sweets myself.

00:47:31.940 Sweets being what I'm about to talk about.

00:47:34.120 So I am not one to judge, but I'm at least one to recognize when there's a problem.

00:47:43.120 I at least am striving to do better every day.

00:47:47.700 I am striving to rise above my own personal petty emotions, my own personal gains or losses.

00:47:57.300 And just do the right thing, because I don't believe God is on my side or God is on your side.

00:48:04.960 I believe we have to work for God to be for us to be on God's side.

00:48:10.900 He loves all of his children and he's dismayed whenever we have an unhealthy attraction to sweets.

00:48:17.500 With that being said, let me explain what has happened on a new story from The New York Times.

00:48:29.160 There is a new story out from The Times that says how right wing radio stoked anger before the Capitol siege shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other talk radio stars promoted debunked claims of a stolen election and urge listeners to fight back.

00:48:45.620 Okay, that's the headline.

00:48:48.620 Let me just tell you what really happened.

00:48:53.680 On Friday, Michael Greenbaum, who is the author of this ridiculous opinion piece that is disguised as news.

00:49:02.260 He wrote to me, hi, Glenn, Michael Greenbaum here at The New York Times.

00:49:09.260 I'm a reporter covering media and politics.

00:49:12.640 My hand was already on delete.

00:49:15.680 We're writing an article on conservative talk radio, specifically the content that aired in the period shortly before the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

00:49:24.360 You are mentioned along with other prominent hosts, including Limbaugh and Hannity et al.

00:49:28.600 Oh, man, I wonder, are they there?

00:49:33.100 They must be doing an honest search for the news.

00:49:35.880 They want my opinion because they want to be set straight.

00:49:40.020 They want the other side.

00:49:43.300 One example we cite is your January 4th broadcast in which you said.

00:49:48.140 Now, remember, this is one example where we will cite you saying, quote, it's time to fight.

00:49:57.900 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

00:50:00.160 It's time to go to war everywhere. 0.87

00:50:02.140 You can find a battlefield.

00:50:03.740 You'll find patriots fighting.

00:50:06.000 You don't have to cower anymore.

00:50:08.260 You don't have to back down the country as we know it is over.

00:50:11.420 And we're going to have to find ways to stop them.

00:50:15.340 Wow.

00:50:15.880 That's one powerful example.

00:50:18.920 What else did I say?

00:50:20.640 I want to go to the Capitol right now after hearing it.

00:50:23.160 Right now, in that, quote, one example, there are ellipses.

00:50:32.080 Oh, otherwise known as dot, dot, dot.

00:50:36.040 It's time to fight.

00:50:37.160 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

00:50:38.820 It's time to go to war. 0.94

00:50:40.400 Dot, dot, dot.

00:50:42.240 Everywhere you can find a battlefield, you'll find patriots fighting.

00:50:46.040 Dot, dot, dot.

00:50:47.260 More than one.

00:50:48.160 You don't have to cower anymore.

00:50:49.680 You don't have to back down, dot, dot, dot.

00:50:53.240 The country as we know it is over.

00:50:55.120 We're going to have to find ways to stop them.

00:50:58.000 Wow.

00:50:58.580 Wow.

00:50:59.000 That's a lot of dot, dot, dots.

00:50:59.840 That's a lot of dot, dot, dots.

00:51:01.040 And I'm sure those dot, dot, dots.

00:51:02.940 The four?

00:51:03.660 They really don't matter.

00:51:06.180 You know what I'm saying?

00:51:06.980 They didn't remove anything.

00:51:08.180 They probably removed like a commercial.

00:51:10.180 Right.

00:51:10.680 They did.

00:51:11.180 You know, this portion of the program brought you by.

00:51:13.220 Probably did that.

00:51:14.280 Yeah.

00:51:14.500 But I'd like to ask you if you'd like to comment about that broadcast or in general about the

00:51:20.820 impression that your show gave listeners about the accuracy of the election results.

00:51:26.440 My email is, I'm so tempted.

00:51:30.120 My phone number is, oh, Gandhi, Gandhi, Gandhi.

00:51:35.660 Martin Luther King.

00:51:36.880 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

00:51:38.740 Jesus didn't have a phone.

00:51:40.480 He didn't live in those times, so he didn't technically say, don't give out somebody's phone

00:51:44.760 number.

00:51:45.360 But my deadline is Friday evening.

00:51:48.940 Happer to answer any questions you have as well.

00:51:52.180 Thank you, Michael.

00:51:53.560 Oh, well, Michael, thank you so much for that.

00:51:57.320 So I didn't call back.

00:51:59.480 I know exactly what they're going to do.

00:52:02.220 I was my my response was.

00:52:05.160 Well, it wasn't my index finger, but I know I I know I used a finger in my response, and

00:52:13.820 that was wrong.

00:52:14.820 Jesus wouldn't have done that.

00:52:16.020 But I still have an unhealthy taste for sweets.

00:52:21.180 I'm a work in progress.

00:52:23.600 Luckily, my my CEO of Mercury, Tyler Carden, he got the same email and he decided to send

00:52:34.860 that to our attorneys and also our PR firm, you know, along with a transcript to find

00:52:41.760 out what that was.

00:52:44.520 So I want to give you exactly what I said on January 4th.

00:52:52.340 It's time to decide who we are.

00:52:54.900 That's kind of the theme of today's program.

00:52:57.080 Next hour at this time, I'm going to specifically ask who we are, who you are, because it's

00:53:04.580 time to decide.

00:53:05.880 But I'll tell you this.

00:53:07.440 It's time to give the left exactly the same thing they have been giving us for at least

00:53:12.640 four straight years.

00:53:14.580 It is time to fight.

00:53:16.480 Now, what would that mean, Stu?

00:53:17.780 If I said prior to that, it's time to give them the same thing that they've given us for

00:53:23.320 at least straight four straight years.

00:53:25.260 It's time to fight.

00:53:26.880 Was what was I referring to the nonviolent protests that have been happening over the

00:53:33.840 summer?

00:53:35.080 Or was I referring to the fight that they put up in Washington and the people that were

00:53:43.200 colluding to slow down or stop Donald Trump because his policies were crazy?

00:53:50.320 Because to accuse you of saying something wrong there, you would, by definition, unless

00:53:57.020 you, of course, dot, dot, dotted it all, you yada, yada it away.

00:54:01.460 Right.

00:54:01.960 But you have to basically say that what the Democrats had been doing for the past four years was

00:54:07.360 terrible, too, because you're specifically saying the same tactics.

00:54:13.340 Now, that's now that's weird, isn't it?

00:54:15.520 Because I don't remember those stories from The New York Times.

00:54:18.160 Right.

00:54:18.500 Where they were highly critical of all the Democrats and all the things they were doing.

00:54:21.980 No.

00:54:22.160 When you specifically say the same way they've been doing.

00:54:25.300 Right.

00:54:25.660 And if you were going to say that's violent, well, then are you saying those peaceful protests

00:54:31.260 are violent?

00:54:32.440 Are you saying Antifa is somehow or another wrong and violent?

00:54:36.680 Because that's a new story to me.

00:54:40.320 But we haven't even gotten to it yet.

00:54:43.760 It's time for us to be given it, give to them at least what they have given us for the

00:54:49.380 four straight years.

00:54:50.300 It's time to fight.

00:54:51.220 It's time to rip and claw.

00:54:52.960 It's time to go to war. 0.94

00:54:55.280 That's where it went.

00:54:56.180 Dot, dot, dot.

00:54:57.420 But it's not a period there.

00:54:59.440 And it's not an ellipse.

00:55:00.720 It's actually a comma, which generally denotes that there's something else that is important

00:55:08.640 that is following now as a part of that sentence.

00:55:14.760 Did you just maybe say dot, dot, dot?

00:55:17.040 And then they were just transcribing.

00:55:18.340 You say dot, dot, dot.

00:55:19.400 That's what it was.

00:55:19.940 It's time to go to war. 0.94

00:55:22.020 Comma.

00:55:22.700 Okay.

00:55:22.960 As the left went to war four years ago.

00:55:26.340 Wait, again, that same issue comes up.

00:55:28.720 That is weird.

00:55:29.440 Where they would need to be highly critical of Democrats for the last four years to be

00:55:32.760 critical of you now.

00:55:33.640 What's weird about this is you had to read the line right before it and the line rightly

00:55:41.300 after.

00:55:42.240 Seems like too much work.

00:55:43.140 Well, I mean, you can't expect the New York Times to go through that much material.

00:55:47.980 No.

00:55:48.040 You know what I mean?

00:55:48.880 You'd expect them.

00:55:49.980 I know that they get the facts from media matters and they could not be expected to

00:55:55.540 go and look this up.

00:55:58.080 I mean, our transcripts are available and that's weird.

00:56:02.100 They were available.

00:56:03.580 At least some transcripts were available to the New York Times.

00:56:06.780 Such an odd part of the story where they go through and they cite Hannity who said, I

00:56:12.640 guess, things they didn't like about the election being stolen in 35 of the 45 episodes.

00:56:18.720 And Limbaugh in 32 of the 45 episodes as transcribed by MIT.

00:56:25.880 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

00:56:29.200 Maybe.

00:56:29.260 Why would they be doing it?

00:56:30.640 You know what it is?

00:56:31.120 Is there another MIT I'm not thinking of here?

00:56:33.160 You know what it is? 1.00

00:56:33.580 We're just so dumb. 0.99

00:56:34.960 They need some smart people to translate what we're saying. 0.99

00:56:38.280 Maybe that's it.

00:56:39.080 You get some of them facts and people from MIT to transcribe.

00:56:43.000 What is MIT doing?

00:56:44.280 Is it the same MIT?

00:56:45.680 I don't know.

00:56:46.680 It just says MIT.

00:56:47.960 Again, if it's not MIT, as we all know, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there's another misleading

00:56:55.580 comment from the New York Times in the story.

00:56:58.680 Actually, it does say, okay.

00:56:59.480 A system maintained by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which monitors radio

00:57:06.780 broadcasts transcribed what was said on leading conservative programs between November 22nd

00:57:11.820 and January 5th.

00:57:12.940 Okay, so then they had the transcript for me, too.

00:57:15.840 Isn't that interesting that they didn't give you the list of how many times you said it?

00:57:19.000 Yeah, isn't that interesting?

00:57:19.600 Isn't that interesting?

00:57:20.720 Oh, it's so frustrating, especially after how many years, how many shows, how many times,

00:57:26.360 how many major public events you have held with the sole focus of being peaceful at rallies?

00:57:36.760 Like, it's been, you've talked about it, no offense, 100,000 times more than it was necessary.

00:57:43.320 Like, no offense to you, but you have hit that so many times.

00:57:49.660 Yeah, my staff hates me because of this.

00:57:51.440 Yeah, really, at times, we're irritating.

00:57:53.900 We got it, man.

00:57:54.280 We got it, Martin Luther King, we got it.

00:57:55.820 Okay, all right, okay.

00:57:56.720 And then to take that, then to rip you out of context, to fill the entire show with ellipses.

00:58:02.840 Yeah, we haven't even started yet.

00:58:04.580 We haven't even started yet.

00:58:05.860 Give me a chance to start.

00:58:07.160 Let me take one minute, and then we'll go back into it.

00:58:09.600 American financing, you've worked hard to get where you are today, and I'm assuming that

00:58:14.600 you have, you've done this by knowing the value of the dollar.

00:58:18.700 And if you're like me, you hate to spend more on something that you really, than you really

00:58:23.540 need to, and especially when you're giving it to, like, your money to the big banks.

00:58:27.680 I think they're getting enough of our money through my tax dollars.

00:58:32.100 Oh, my gosh.

00:58:33.980 All right, anyway, you can save money.

00:58:37.220 You can give the banks less money, just the money that they are legally required to get,

00:58:44.240 and that is in your terms of your mortgage.

00:58:46.560 Well, refinance your mortgage.

00:58:48.060 If you have something that is at 4%, even 3%, you could get a massive cut on your mortgage

00:58:56.280 right now, sometimes in the twos, which will save you hundreds of dollars.

00:59:00.180 You can get it in 1,000 or more if you roll in your credit cards without resetting the term

00:59:04.940 of your loan.

00:59:16.280 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:59:19.520 10 seconds.

00:59:19.980 Station ID.

00:59:20.400 It is time for us to give the left exactly the same thing they have been giving us for

00:59:37.440 the last four straight years.

00:59:39.420 It's time to fight.

00:59:40.840 Time to rip and claw.

00:59:41.800 Time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:59:45.120 Well, even if you condemn the left and you win because now you have to condemn what the

00:59:52.420 left has been doing, I'm still uncomfortable with that.

00:59:57.120 And when I read that, I thought, yeah, okay, well, they'd have to admit that they've been

01:00:01.560 violent because I'm saying let's do what they've been doing.

01:00:05.960 But I don't want to do what they're doing.

01:00:08.520 And that's my first thought before I'm reading all of the transcript.

01:00:11.680 But I had to read all the way, all the way down to the very next sentence.

01:00:17.600 Oh, well, you can't expect.

01:00:19.120 I mean, they're busy.

01:00:19.980 Now, that's two sentences away from what they printed.

01:00:22.100 So, again, you need a team of researchers from MIT to go that far.

01:00:26.520 Yeah, they do have that.

01:00:27.940 So, oh, it did put it.

01:00:29.700 Oh, this.

01:00:30.260 Well, that's a victory.

01:00:31.640 Yeah, we should also point out there were one, two, three, four separate reporters who

01:00:37.020 had the byline on the story.

01:00:38.340 Oh, okay.

01:00:38.820 So, they had the four reporters plus MIT working on this one.

01:00:41.620 Couldn't get to the next sentence.

01:00:42.300 So, did they write the but?

01:00:44.940 Did they write the whole thing?

01:00:47.800 But our playbook will be different?

01:00:51.300 No.

01:00:51.780 No, no, no.

01:00:52.640 Okay.

01:00:53.060 I don't see that in here.

01:00:53.680 All right.

01:00:53.920 Because I want to go back to how they actually did print and how they got around those ellipses

01:00:58.660 here in a second.

01:00:59.900 It's time to fight.

01:01:00.720 Time to rip and rake.

01:01:01.460 It's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

01:01:04.180 But our playbook will be different.

01:01:09.900 Now, they don't expect us to actually stand up and stand together.

01:01:13.860 They believe through their algorithms they can control and convince you to sit down.

01:01:18.060 They believe they can convince you that you're all alone.

01:01:21.200 Well, you're not.

01:01:22.440 They think that you're going to roll over and show them our bellies.

01:01:26.160 But you're not.

01:01:27.420 Then I went into a little rant about Mitt Romney.

01:01:32.920 Mitt knows how to lose.

01:01:34.180 Yes, he does. 1.00

01:01:34.720 He's a loser. 1.00

01:01:35.320 Yes. 1.00

01:01:36.020 He didn't lose like Donald Trump lost.

01:01:37.720 He lost because he was a bad candidate.

01:01:39.680 Don't tell me, oh, no harm, no fouls.

01:01:41.820 Let's move on.

01:01:42.700 Let's come together.

01:01:43.480 There is no coming together.

01:01:45.220 I would love to come together.

01:01:47.320 But I can't.

01:01:48.620 I cannot stand with someone who won't stand for the Bill of Rights.

01:01:53.600 You see, the left has a very different definition of words come together with Joe Biden means us when he says he wants us to all come together.

01:02:02.080 What does it mean?

01:02:03.400 Submit that what it that's what it means.

01:02:05.620 The only thing that they have in mind is uniting the country into going in one direction.

01:02:11.580 There's no the Constitution forbids me to go there.

01:02:16.280 I talked to the president over the holiday and I'll tell you about that coming up.

01:02:20.280 But after I hung up, I thought there was so much more that I had to say to him.

01:02:24.260 He has done a ton for this country.

01:02:26.620 Maybe the most important thing was reminding us that you don't have to play by their rules anymore.

01:02:33.480 You don't have to cower anymore.

01:02:35.880 Back to the dot dot dot.

01:02:37.220 This is how long you've had to go for that dot dot dot.

01:02:40.320 You don't have to cower anymore.

01:02:42.300 You don't have to back down when you're ridiculed into oblivion.

01:02:46.060 You can fight back.

01:02:48.480 You just saw somebody do it.

01:02:51.340 No, I'm not going to surrender and I'm not going to show it. 0.99

01:02:53.740 Shut up. 0.97

01:02:54.920 Now, I have to go two more pages before I get to the next dot dot dot. 0.99

01:03:01.160 But they're really important, really important.

01:03:05.060 And we wouldn't expect the New York Times to have anything in context.

01:03:11.120 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:13.560 Oh, my gosh.

01:03:14.540 He's going to cancel us.

01:03:15.900 All right.

01:03:17.020 Let me tell you about timeshare termination team.

01:03:19.720 The word timeshare when you're younger is because Tanya and I went, you know, somebody said, hey, you want to talk about a timeshare?

01:03:28.060 We were at some resort.

01:03:29.340 Want to talk about a timeshare?

01:03:30.400 And we're like, I don't know.

01:03:31.860 Sure.

01:03:32.740 They give you a free meal usually.

01:03:34.400 Yeah.

01:03:34.660 And we were like, wow.

01:03:36.120 Well, you know, that's a really good deal.

01:03:37.700 Honey, we would love coming here all the time.

01:03:39.820 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:03:41.280 Well, let us think about it.

01:03:42.800 We'll call you when we get back home.

01:03:44.960 Oh, you know what?

01:03:46.560 That's going to triple the price on it.

01:03:48.240 Yeah.

01:03:49.120 Oh, wow.

01:03:49.320 We almost did it.

01:03:50.520 We almost did it.

01:03:52.300 So, I mean.

01:03:52.760 That's pretty convincing sometimes.

01:03:53.780 Oh, yeah, it is.

01:03:54.900 And you're like, no, it'll be great.

01:03:56.720 All I have to do is nine vacation weeks a year here and it pays for itself.

01:04:00.440 That's it.

01:04:01.740 Timeshare termination team can get you out legally of what you've done.

01:04:07.160 Uh, and they have a hundred percent money back guarantee for your exit.

01:04:12.360 Timeshare termination team dot com.

01:04:14.920 Get out of that thing.

01:04:16.180 It's a albatross around your neck.

01:04:18.800 That's a literary reference for those of you who don't know because you're being educated

01:04:22.800 now in our schools.

01:04:23.880 Eight at eight.

01:04:24.280 Get you out.

01:04:24.960 Eight at eight.

01:04:25.520 Get you out.

01:04:26.120 Timeshare termination team dot com.

01:04:28.460 All right.

01:04:28.660 Go to blaze tv dot com slash Glenn.

01:04:30.380 The promo code Glenn.

01:04:31.720 Thirty bucks off your subscription to blaze TV.

01:04:37.160 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:04:49.120 So I'm just delivering a little missive to Michael Greenbaum and the editors at the New

01:04:54.640 York Times just to compliment them on their journalism is is really spectacular.

01:05:00.360 Don't you think?

01:05:01.140 I mean, it's really spectacular.

01:05:02.920 It's the kind of journalism that was done in the late 1950s and early 1960s, you know,

01:05:11.460 on on people, you know, that were that were standing up for their rights, but then called

01:05:18.440 violent, you know, like Martin Luther King.

01:05:20.600 I think it's great.

01:05:22.140 I've only got 10 years of of saying there's going to come a time where you're going to

01:05:27.760 want to physically fight.

01:05:29.420 Don't do it.

01:05:30.900 Turn the other way.

01:05:32.500 Don't do it.

01:05:33.940 You've got to listen to Martin Luther King, Gandhi and Bonhoeffer.

01:05:37.820 Fifteen years of saying that relentlessly.

01:05:40.720 And and the New York Times just can't seem to find any transcripts of me talking about that

01:05:47.880 relentlessly.

01:05:50.100 So I know who my audience is.

01:05:52.200 I know who they are.

01:05:54.320 And I know what they're capable of. 1.00

01:05:56.540 And I know they're not morons like apparently the readers of The New York Times that need 0.99

01:06:02.240 to need to just, I guess, be bamboozled by the the way you weave stories and use ellipses 0.99

01:06:13.380 and don't give the full picture. 1.00

01:06:15.840 I guess I guess your readers you think are morons that they won't figure it out. 1.00

01:06:20.880 I don't think my listeners are morons. 1.00

01:06:23.400 I think my listeners know when I'm full of crap and they know when you're full of crap. 1.00

01:06:29.480 But Michael said one example we cite in your January 4th broadcast in which you said it's 1.00

01:06:36.380 time to fight.

01:06:37.160 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

01:06:38.360 It's time to go to war. 0.94

01:06:39.640 I already told you that's not a period there.

01:06:42.060 That's a comma.

01:06:42.860 And it says like the left went to war four years ago, but they just went dot dot dot everywhere

01:06:48.960 you can find a battlefield.

01:06:50.280 You'll find patriots fighting dot dot dot.

01:06:53.060 Okay, so wow time to go to war everywhere.

01:06:55.860 You can find a battlefield.

01:06:56.660 You'll find patriots fighting where where was that in the monologue?

01:07:00.020 Well, that was three pages after the last quote.

01:07:06.380 And and here's what I said.

01:07:11.160 I'm totally good.

01:07:12.820 I'm good.

01:07:14.220 I don't need fame.

01:07:15.400 I don't need fortune.

01:07:16.360 You know what my need is.

01:07:18.320 My need is for someone to stand up and say, no, I'm not going there. 0.95

01:07:23.780 It's pathetic to think that they all think we're going to back down and go back to usual. 0.93

01:07:28.740 I have news, gang. 1.00

01:07:30.740 You opened a can of whoop ass and you're about to get a dose of your own medicine. 0.99

01:07:35.540 And it's only fair. 1.00

01:07:37.340 Wow, that's threatening.

01:07:38.280 Why didn't they include that one?

01:07:41.280 Get ready for the fights in the courts, the fight in Congress, in the media, in Silicon Valley.

01:07:49.840 Get ready for special prosecutors.

01:07:52.080 Maybe even an impeachment.

01:07:55.040 Everywhere you can find a battlefield, you will find patriots fighting.

01:08:01.100 And I'm sorry that they're shocked we're fighting the election.

01:08:04.560 But the attacks on Donald Trump began before he was even inaugurated.

01:08:09.040 And so will ours.

01:08:10.500 But ours will be truthful.

01:08:13.940 Ours will be constitutional.

01:08:16.140 Ours will be righteous.

01:08:18.140 And yes, ours will be relentless.

01:08:20.680 Was the riot at the Capitol constitutional?

01:08:25.140 No, it really wasn't.

01:08:25.800 No, it really wasn't.

01:08:26.460 Now, you gave a few examples there.

01:08:27.840 There was impeachment was the last one.

01:08:29.840 Impeachment, special prosecutors.

01:08:31.440 Special prosecutors.

01:08:32.320 In the courts, in the media.

01:08:33.700 In the courts, media.

01:08:34.620 Silicon Valley.

01:08:35.740 Silicon Valley.

01:08:36.840 I didn't hear the Capitol.

01:08:38.720 I didn't hear hitting police officers over the head with flagpoles. 0.98

01:08:42.560 Well, they did say there.

01:08:44.040 They did say.

01:08:44.800 And you have the article in front of you?

01:08:47.080 Yes.

01:08:47.520 You got to read it.

01:08:48.680 Because they did say, while I didn't specifically call for riots.

01:08:52.640 No.

01:08:53.220 They do this thing where they're like, well, a lot of times Republican talk show host people

01:08:57.800 will say all these things like fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.

01:09:01.420 And then they'll back off and hedge it with, but fight legally or nicely or peacefully.

01:09:06.760 Like we're like, it's a dog whistle.

01:09:08.380 Right.

01:09:08.760 Again, it's a dog whistle argument.

01:09:10.420 They are trying to make that point.

01:09:11.720 However, it's, you know, obviously, again, over a decade of you saying over and over again,

01:09:16.540 be peaceful at rallies in particular.

01:09:18.460 I know, but the other thing we should also put into context here is this is not just any

01:09:23.960 day.

01:09:24.360 It's your first day back from vacation after Christmas vacation.

01:09:27.440 First monologue.

01:09:28.320 The first monologue.

01:09:29.360 And it's the big story of the day is the Georgia elections where you're talking about

01:09:34.700 fighting to win these seats in the Senate that were really important.

01:09:38.520 That was the overwhelming topic of the day.

01:09:41.660 You mean fight at the polls?

01:09:42.880 No.

01:09:43.580 That couldn't have been it.

01:09:44.360 It was.

01:09:45.040 Yeah.

01:09:45.300 Yeah.

01:09:45.940 Yeah.

01:09:46.560 Okay.

01:09:46.920 Read.

01:09:47.460 Just read the article with the without the ellipses.

01:09:50.460 So this is what they actually printed after, you know, after a few talks with with our team.

01:09:56.120 Okay.

01:09:56.560 This is what they printed.

01:09:57.640 Now, listen.

01:09:57.960 Two days before a mob of Trump supporters invaded the United States Capitol, upending the nation's

01:10:02.840 peaceful transition of power and leaving at least five people dead.

01:10:06.880 The right wing radio star Glenn Beck delivered a message to his flock of 10.5.

01:10:12.720 Two days before.

01:10:13.600 Two days before.

01:10:14.140 10.5 million listeners.

01:10:15.620 What was that message?

01:10:16.860 Quote.

01:10:17.700 It's time to fight.

01:10:19.080 It's time to quote.

01:10:19.900 End quote.

01:10:20.760 Now, read the net.

01:10:21.700 Read this exactly.

01:10:22.760 Now, notice that in this, it said we have one example.

01:10:27.260 It's time to fight.

01:10:28.060 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

01:10:29.440 It's time to go to war. 0.94

01:10:30.680 Dot, dot, dot.

01:10:31.860 Everywhere you can find a battlefield, you'll find patriots fighting.

01:10:34.940 Dot, dot, dot.

01:10:35.800 You don't have to cower anymore.

01:10:37.640 You don't have to back down.

01:10:38.940 Dot, dot, dot.

01:10:39.680 The country as we know it is over.

01:10:41.420 We're going to have to find ways to stop them.

01:10:43.040 Now, your pushback obviously did something because they did include more than they initially

01:10:47.540 were going to include.

01:10:49.120 They say, it's time to fight.

01:10:51.340 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

01:10:53.340 End quote.

01:10:53.800 Mr. Beck said on his January 4th broadcast.

01:10:56.260 Start quote.

01:10:57.160 It's time to go to war. 0.94

01:10:58.440 Stop.

01:10:58.680 So, they've replaced the ellipses with their commentary, Mr. Beck said.

01:11:05.760 So, it looks like it's the same paragraph.

01:11:09.740 Well, this one.

01:11:11.980 Come on.

01:11:13.000 It's time to rip and claw and rake.

01:11:14.780 Was that the.

01:11:16.160 That's the first one.

01:11:17.020 I thought it ended with it's time to go to war. 0.79

01:11:18.960 No, no, no.

01:11:19.200 It's time to fight.

01:11:20.080 It's time to rip, claw, and rake.

01:11:21.180 It's time to go to war. 0.94

01:11:22.100 Yeah.

01:11:22.240 That's one sentence.

01:11:23.060 Right.

01:11:23.340 So, they keep that all together.

01:11:24.660 Correct.

01:11:25.180 Instead of the dot, dot, dot, though, they do now add, after it's time to go to war,

01:11:29.000 they say, as the left went to war four years ago.

01:11:32.000 Yes.

01:11:32.440 So, it's hard to cut a sentence in half.

01:11:34.760 But, you know.

01:11:35.640 So, a former Fox News host, Mr. Beck, has speculated for weeks about baseless claims

01:11:40.500 of voter fraud in the presidential race.

01:11:42.260 I have all sorts of problems with that summary of that situation, but we'll leave that because

01:11:45.960 we'll run out of time.

01:11:46.920 He told listeners that Donald Trump had taught conservatives that you, quote, don't have to cower

01:11:53.020 anymore.

01:11:53.660 You don't have to back down when ridiculed into oblivion.

01:11:56.500 You can fight back, end quote.

01:11:57.860 How's that bad?

01:11:58.360 Of course I made that.

01:11:59.200 How's that bad?

01:11:59.820 Saying you don't need to cower.

01:12:00.360 We've always been like, oh my gosh, okay, I guess we are racist.

01:12:03.460 No, you're not.

01:12:04.680 Right.

01:12:04.960 You're not.

01:12:05.520 There is real racism.

01:12:07.300 Just because you're white, you're not a racist.

01:12:10.020 Mm-hmm.

01:12:10.460 And I'm going to stand up against that. 0.98

01:12:12.720 Exactly what a white racist would say. 0.97

01:12:14.400 Exactly right. 0.91

01:12:15.420 The article goes on, Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to invade the Capitol.

01:12:19.560 Oh, there we go.

01:12:20.480 Yeah, yeah.

01:12:20.900 I did actually put that in there.

01:12:22.280 Good job.

01:12:22.540 And a day later, and just tossed it in the fourth paragraph after saying you're so evil.

01:12:29.300 And a day later, he urged marchers in Washington, quote, to really kind of channel your inner

01:12:35.480 Martin Luther King, end quote, adding that violence is, quote, just not who we've ever

01:12:41.340 been, end quote.

01:12:42.420 Now, you notice, I mean, I've been very eloquent on nonviolence.

01:12:45.820 Yes.

01:12:46.180 But they take the quote where I say, you know, kind of just channel, kind of your, you know,

01:12:51.820 that Martin Luther King thing.

01:12:53.440 Of course.

01:12:54.940 I mean, it's amazing.

01:12:57.340 You get the theme of the speech you gave in Washington, D.C. in front of 500,000 people.

01:13:06.320 That they reported it was meandering and they didn't even understand.

01:13:10.140 It was nothing but eloquent speech about being peaceful and being a peaceful movement and

01:13:14.900 emulating Martin Luther King.

01:13:16.720 Ugh.

01:13:17.320 Okay.

01:13:17.700 But they go on.

01:13:18.540 But the language.

01:13:19.340 So they say, look, channel your inner Martin Luther King, adding the violence is, quote,

01:13:23.960 just not who we've ever been, end quote.

01:13:26.260 But the language he used on his January 4th show was typical of the aggressive rhetoric

01:13:31.180 that permeated conservative talk radio in the weeks before the Washington siege.

01:13:35.520 So, like, the fact that you, again, what else is typical about your show?

01:13:39.700 A decade of blathering on about Martin Luther King and how great the guy is.

01:13:45.600 Goddy, Goddy, Goddy. 0.97

01:13:47.020 We used to mock you incessantly about how often you talked about that.

01:13:50.820 They don't put that in.

01:13:51.680 They act as if it's some throw-in statement the next day.

01:13:54.280 I know.

01:13:54.420 It's been the theme of the show for a decade.

01:13:57.600 Because to them, it is a throwaway line.

01:14:00.900 Right.

01:14:01.080 Because they don't listen.

01:14:02.500 I cannot program to people who don't listen to the show.

01:14:07.020 I can't speak to those who don't listen to the show.

01:14:10.980 I'm not going to write or formulate thoughts for people who don't listen.

01:14:18.680 I mean, the posters of all of these restoring events.

01:14:22.880 We walked through Birmingham.

01:14:27.220 We did an event in Birmingham.

01:14:29.620 We walked through Birmingham.

01:14:32.720 Does anybody remember any of this?

01:14:35.360 You did an event called Restoring Love.

01:14:39.600 You're a conservative talk show host.

01:14:43.360 Got 100,000 people to go to Cowboy Stadium, AT&T Stadium, so they can restore freaking love.

01:14:52.620 And that's how they summarize your career.

01:14:54.700 Yeah.

01:14:54.780 Well, one quote completely out of context with 9,000 ellipses.

01:15:00.960 It doesn't.

01:15:01.480 Oh, it's so frustrating.

01:15:02.440 I can't.

01:15:02.860 So here.

01:15:03.700 I thank you for that.

01:15:05.360 Because Gandhi wouldn't have said those things.

01:15:08.840 But I'm glad this Gandhi has you. 0.96

01:15:13.420 It wouldn't have been funny if Gandhi was like, but peace, just let's peace.

01:15:20.040 Yeah.

01:15:20.360 You know what? 1.00

01:15:20.780 These bastards. 1.00

01:15:23.580 So listen, listen, listen, listen. 1.00

01:15:25.240 Here's what I really want you to know.

01:15:27.340 I want you to picture this.

01:15:29.240 Two bighorn rams on a hill facing off.

01:15:33.680 They're about to headbutt each other.

01:15:36.440 And the instigating ram charges forward.

01:15:41.420 Well, usually the other ram will start charging back.

01:15:45.320 Nah.

01:15:46.940 If that ram just steps to one side, the other ram goes off the cliff.

01:15:52.440 Whoa, you were supposed to stop me.

01:15:57.240 The New York Times is the first ram.

01:15:59.960 They're the instigator.

01:16:01.640 They picked a fight.

01:16:03.100 They're barreling towards us.

01:16:04.740 They expect us to fight back.

01:16:06.680 You know, take the hit and make it worse.

01:16:09.320 Yeah. 0.99

01:16:10.460 That just really proves that their ridiculous statement has some validity. 0.98

01:16:18.040 No.

01:16:20.140 The New York Times is the one, and we're going to be posting things on glenbeck.com.

01:16:25.000 The New York Times is the one that has excused violence.

01:16:27.520 And now have people working for them that would say that Martin Luther King's message is wrong.

01:16:34.180 So I'm not, I'm not even, it doesn't bother me.

01:16:38.820 Gandhi defined his form of civil disobedience as a force of truth in love.

01:16:44.120 He wrote, and I quote, nonviolence is, in its active form, goodwill towards all life.

01:16:50.380 It's pure love.

01:16:52.100 Again, I'm addicted to sweets.

01:16:54.300 I am having a hard time with that, but I'm trying.

01:16:56.980 He believed the permanent good can never outcome the untruth, or it can never, never be the outcome of untruth and violence.

01:17:05.980 He made no exceptions.

01:17:08.740 He said, I reject violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary.

01:17:14.280 The evil it does is permanent.

01:17:17.160 Now, at one point, a British politician came up to Gandhi and tried to connect with him and said, look, Mr. Gandhi, we're both men of God, aren't we?

01:17:28.080 And Gandhi said, no, you're a politician disguised as a man of God.

01:17:32.420 I'm a man of God disguised as a politician.

01:17:35.980 The New York Times is an activist disguised as a truth teller.

01:17:43.520 The opening chapter of his book, Power of Nonviolence, Gandhi wrote, beyond the limited truths, there is one absolute truth in which is total and all embracing.

01:17:54.240 But it's indescribable because it's God, or say, rather, God is truth.

01:18:00.080 Other things, therefore, can only be true in a relative sense.

01:18:05.980 The New York Times will never understand that.

01:18:09.420 The New York Times looks for relative truth.

01:18:12.800 They look for their own personal truth.

01:18:15.880 I look for eternal truth.

01:18:18.600 And all things are measured against eternal truth.

01:18:22.780 That's why violence in the streets never works.

01:18:31.020 All right.

01:18:35.760 Real estate agents I trust is here to remind you that if you are looking to sell your house, oh, boy, Rosie O'Donnell, she's trying to sell her house. 0.92

01:18:44.760 She's been trying to sell her house for five years. 0.99

01:18:46.700 Seven million dollars.

01:18:48.180 Really?

01:18:48.600 Yeah.

01:18:49.020 She's having a hard time because it's in New Jersey.

01:18:51.680 And I just can't imagine how many people are like, I've got to buy a seven million dollar house in New Jersey.

01:18:59.640 Now's the time to rush to Jersey.

01:19:01.120 Now's the time.

01:19:02.020 Yeah.

01:19:02.320 Yeah.

01:19:02.700 That thing's collapsing.

01:19:03.680 But, man, I'm going to go in while everybody's selling.

01:19:06.800 You better like the house, too, because they're not going to let you out of it.

01:19:08.940 So real estate agents I trust dot com can help you if you're not Rosie O'Donnell.

01:19:16.440 And, well, we'd probably be men of peace and love, and we would probably help relieve her of that house if we could.

01:19:25.900 I'm kidding.

01:19:27.520 It's real estate agents I trust dot com.

01:19:30.200 This is my company.

01:19:31.200 It was designed to be a free service to you just to connect you with the best real estate agent that has your values, does business the right way, and will get your home sold or your next home bought for the right amount of money.

01:19:46.800 And do it simply and quickly.

01:19:48.820 It's real estate agents I trust dot com.

01:19:52.600 You are listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:19:57.860 Hey, everybody, it's Black History Month.

01:20:00.420 And next hour, we're going to talk about black history.

01:20:04.680 In fact, I got up this morning and I was reading on my Apple news, all the important news.

01:20:10.960 Oprah, the Oprah magazine, has done a really good job at giving you half the story on black history.

01:20:18.960 And I just I thought we would, you know, maybe I mean, far be it for me to say that Oprah isn't the greatest historian of all time.

01:20:27.360 But I think that we need to look at some of the things that she said and and and fill in some of the blanks.

01:20:36.360 Oh, by the way, I'm going to be tweeting out something from the Rand Corporation.

01:20:40.540 You know, the Vietnam papers, CIA front people.

01:20:44.120 It was great.

01:20:45.460 The domestic violent extremists will be harder to combat than homegrown jihadists.

01:20:50.900 So, you know, the people that were involved in that capital attack, they have larger consistent, larger, larger groups of people.

01:21:07.420 Domestic extremists are better organized.

01:21:09.960 The nation has not been galvanized against them because we haven't had a 9-11 yet. 0.53

01:21:14.520 They're far better armed.

01:21:16.520 They're more white right wing experience.

01:21:19.180 The people that have military and police training and preventing the radicalization may not work this time.

01:21:26.800 It's an amazing, amazing story about the right wing extremists, formerly known as the GOP.

01:21:37.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:39.820 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:42.600 There is an editorial about one of our guests coming up, Burgess Owens, who misunderstands American athletes who seek a better America.

01:21:54.100 Well, thank you, Gordon.

01:21:55.760 I appreciate that.

01:21:57.320 And I'm sure Burgess appreciates being talked down to being pretty much labeled a white guy, even though he's black.

01:22:05.460 He misunderstands.

01:22:07.200 But you as a writer, well, you understand him.

01:22:10.900 And we're going to talk about that with Burgess here in just a second.

01:22:16.040 We're not concentrating on that.

01:22:18.060 We are concentrating on the point of what Burgess is doing.

01:22:23.000 We're going to talk a little bit about the importance of black history on Black History Month.

01:22:27.080 This is going to drive all of the left out of their mind.

01:22:30.820 But as we have told you for almost 20 years now, black history has been erased and people have been the culture was disemboweled. 0.99

01:22:42.580 And they tried to tell blacks that you don't have any heroes.

01:22:48.400 You don't have any good connection to this country.

01:22:52.020 It's absolutely untrue.

01:22:54.740 And it's getting worse.

01:22:56.440 David Barton is also here to tell us about that and share some really cool historic stuff in 60 seconds.

01:23:03.180 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:08.400 So we got a little cold snap here in Texas.

01:23:10.100 Everybody is freaking out, you know, because the people who grew up in Texas are like, it's got ice.

01:23:16.840 There's ice, I guess, somewhere on the ground.

01:23:19.300 It's cold.

01:23:20.240 It's like 30 degrees.

01:23:21.900 What do we do?

01:23:22.880 Shut everything down.

01:23:24.420 It is a little cold here, but I will be using my rec tech grill outside today because, you know, you look at people.

01:23:33.360 We've lived up north.

01:23:34.860 You have no idea what cold is, but you don't even have to stand out in the cold.

01:23:39.420 If you have a rec tech, you get a rec tech.

01:23:41.540 You can start it from an app on your phone.

01:23:44.160 The only time you have to go outside is to put the steak on the grill and then pull it off when it's done.

01:23:50.660 That's where my forced child labor comes in. 1.00

01:23:52.960 I'm just saying rec tech.

01:23:55.080 It's amazing.

01:23:55.620 Cooks everything to perfection.

01:23:57.020 It's built like a tank.

01:23:58.300 You're going to be glad you got one once you've tried it.

01:24:00.360 A.B.

01:24:00.680 Compare them with the best in the business.

01:24:02.360 You will find the best in the business is rec tech.

01:24:05.800 R.E.C.T.E.Q.com.

01:24:08.820 RecTech.com.

01:24:14.640 Joining us now, David Barton, founder of Wall Builders and the author of The American Story,

01:24:22.200 which is a book everyone should own.

01:24:25.360 Get The American Story by David Barton.

01:24:28.880 It is pithy in its stories.

01:24:32.140 It is comprehensive.

01:24:33.960 It's the best starter kit on American history I think I've ever seen.

01:24:40.700 It's called The American Story.

01:24:42.220 You can buy it on Amazon or wherever you buy your books by David Barton.

01:24:45.480 Welcome, David.

01:24:46.180 How are you?

01:24:46.720 Hey, Glenn.

01:24:47.300 Hey, Stu.

01:24:47.940 Hey.

01:24:48.140 Not a bad little endorsement there.

01:24:50.220 No, that's pretty good.

01:24:51.480 Yeah, he's paying me.

01:24:52.160 I'll keep that one.

01:24:52.560 He's paying me, yeah.

01:24:53.720 I didn't mean a word of it, Stu.

01:24:55.440 We have Burgess Owens on with us as well.

01:25:00.000 Congressman, how are you, sir?

01:25:01.760 I'm doing good, Glenn.

01:25:02.960 Good.

01:25:03.200 Pleasure talking with you.

01:25:03.940 Looking forward to it, for sure.

01:25:04.880 Well, I don't know if we can really, you know, as two white guys, you know, as I've learned from Salt Lake Tribune, white guys can probably understand the black plight a little bit better than you because you were an athlete.

01:25:17.280 You made a lot of money.

01:25:18.500 You know, white privilege, white privilege, white privilege.

01:25:20.500 So what do you really understand about the black culture and plight? 1.00

01:25:24.620 Well, I think it's interesting.

01:25:26.160 This is what I have to keep in mind is the condescending attitude of these leftists.

01:25:30.340 And by the way, I want to make a very cute point.

01:25:32.220 I'm not talking about liberals.

01:25:32.920 I'm talking about leftists.

01:25:33.700 These are folks who don't have the same values, the same desire to have the endgame that conservatives and liberals have, good people have.

01:25:40.700 This is probably the only time he's ever thought about the plight of black Americans, particularly our young kids, if we watch them go down the tubes for decades.

01:25:49.500 And he stands up and puts me down because I say we need to be proud of our country.

01:25:53.180 Look at the history we've had.

01:25:54.440 Look how far we've come.

01:25:55.640 And if we can do it back in the 60s, we can do it in 2020, 21.

01:25:59.860 But no, the leftists like this Salt Lake Trib.

01:26:02.220 And by the way, can I say this also?

01:26:04.880 Yeah.

01:26:05.160 Do not take the lead of leftist papers reading the headlines.

01:26:12.600 They don't believe that we have the intelligence to read through the article to find the truth.

01:26:17.440 So they have these remarkable headlines that people get caught up in.

01:26:21.140 Just know that's another tool that the left does.

01:26:24.440 But you'll find, again, that my message very simply is that Americans, no matter where they come from, what background or color, can make it in this country by working hard and going by the tenants that we've been talking about throughout the last year or so I've been talking with you.

01:26:36.100 And that is the that is the thing that we all used to melt in.

01:26:40.760 We used to have a melting pot and we melted in.

01:26:43.480 We brought our own culture, our own things.

01:26:45.600 But we melted into this idea that anybody can make it here, that all men are created equal when we lived up to our highest values, which is not all the time.

01:26:57.140 But when we live up to those, that's what Martin Luther King was saying.

01:27:00.520 America.

01:27:01.060 He wasn't trashing America.

01:27:02.200 He was saying, live up to your founding words.

01:27:06.740 It's the same thing that I think Frederick Douglass, you know, at first he didn't like the Constitution.

01:27:12.060 Then he was asked, did you read it?

01:27:14.440 And he read it.

01:27:15.340 And, David, what happened?

01:27:16.660 He completely turned around.

01:27:17.880 He said there was not a single anti-slavery word in that document.

01:27:21.260 He'd been taught there was by white abolitionists who were really anti-Constitution.

01:27:25.200 When he became a full-time speaker for the Massachusetts Abolition Society, he said, I have a responsibility to know what I'm talking about.

01:27:31.740 So he read the Constitution.

01:27:33.240 He said he went through an epiphany.

01:27:34.640 Completely changed his view of founding fathers.

01:27:37.280 It's interesting.

01:27:38.100 Frederick Douglass in his life wrote an autobiography three times.

01:27:41.040 He wrote an autobiography when he was young, when he's middle-aged, and when he's older.

01:27:45.200 And you can see the transition he went through.

01:27:47.640 The love and respect that he comes up with for the country that he did not have at the beginning.

01:27:51.680 A lot of activists love to quote his speech on the 4th of July where he thinks we're not included, we're not part of this.

01:27:57.680 That's earlier in life.

01:27:58.780 As you see him get later in life, he has a whole different viewpoint.

01:28:02.300 And that inclusion comes from knowing history.

01:28:05.040 And that's something he did not know as a slave.

01:28:07.260 Once he studied it out, once he found it, there was a whole different American story than what he knew.

01:28:11.120 And I will tell you this.

01:28:12.080 I feel the same way on American history.

01:28:15.720 The white aspects of it, the black aspects of it, the yellow.

01:28:22.180 And I mean, it just doesn't matter what color you are.

01:28:25.660 But when you see how history has been shaped and written and then rewritten and deleted, you could spend a long time, especially if you're an African-American, going, what the?

01:28:38.520 Who did this?

01:28:39.800 How come I don't know those stories?

01:28:41.760 How come I only know these four people?

01:28:44.060 And I've never heard of people like Phyllis Wheatley.

01:28:46.640 Well, there is a reason you don't know it.

01:28:50.300 And it is the progressives that did this.

01:28:54.200 Yeah.

01:28:54.440 A real change, a visible change you can see in 1902 when Woodrow Wilson came out with his five-volume set, The History of the American People.

01:29:01.840 And in that five-volume set, and it's a comprehensive history, except it has not a single black person in it, not even Frederick Douglass, who is more photographed than Abraham Lincoln was.

01:29:12.980 Wow.

01:29:13.260 This is a guy that was, Wilson was alive with Frederick Douglass, and he doesn't even put him in the book.

01:29:19.960 Not a single black person at all.

01:29:21.560 The Klan is in that book, though, isn't it?

01:29:22.860 That's what?

01:29:23.260 The Klan is in that book, I think.

01:29:24.620 Yeah, that is the book that the Klan used for the rebirth of the Klan, the second revival of the Klan. 0.73

01:29:29.640 And so, but academics look at it and say, my gosh, he's the president of Princeton University.

01:29:34.060 He's a professor at three universities.

01:29:36.860 This is such a smart work.

01:29:38.400 This is such a brilliant guy.

01:29:40.040 Let's use this.

01:29:40.820 And that's the basis of black history today, which is why on Black History Month, you usually get MLK and Rosa Parks and 20th century folks.

01:29:48.080 You get Malcolm X and W.B. Du Bois.

01:29:50.720 But you get very little of the Jack Sissons or the James Armisteads or all the heroes from the American Revolution that were genuine heroes.

01:29:57.620 Well, you know, it's funny because Oprah Magazine just did something on Apple, and I was looking at the Apple News app today.

01:30:05.680 And, you know, Oprah teaches black history.

01:30:07.620 And the first one she taught was Phyllis Wheatley. 0.91

01:30:10.460 However, she's leaving out an awful lot.

01:30:13.600 And what's amazing is she's like, hey, these are people you've never heard of.

01:30:17.400 And I thought, no, people in my audience, they know them.

01:30:22.680 We've talked about Phyllis Wheatley forever.

01:30:24.900 But in this, she says, Phyllis Wheatley was the first African-American to publish a book of poetry, poems on various subjects, religious and moral in 1773. 0.67

01:30:34.040 Born in Gambia, sold to the Wheatley family in Boston when she was seven.

01:30:37.760 Wheatley was emancipated shortly after her book was released.

01:30:41.360 Wow.

01:30:41.760 Is that the Phyllis Wheatley story?

01:30:44.040 I think they missed some major points in this story.

01:30:46.900 Some major points.

01:30:47.540 Yeah.

01:30:47.840 First of all, she was the first African-American to publish a book as a slave? 0.54

01:30:52.940 Yeah, she didn't publish a book.

01:30:54.780 She did not publish a book.

01:30:56.120 Her book was published, but she did not publish a book.

01:30:58.480 Who published that?

01:30:59.260 It was published by Selina Countess of Huntington, English sponsor.

01:31:03.960 She was in England, and the book was published in England, not in America.

01:31:07.440 And so she was actually taken to England for her health.

01:31:10.140 Her health was not good while she was there.

01:31:12.940 This great lady, she's called Lady Bountiful. 0.93

01:31:16.100 I mean, she put her money into really good endeavors.

01:31:18.580 This is a woman who really changed everything. 1.00

01:31:20.940 She changed everything.

01:31:21.260 Nobody knows who she is.

01:31:22.520 That's right.

01:31:22.700 We should talk about her sometime.

01:31:24.220 She's a white woman. 1.00

01:31:25.140 Nobody knows who she is, but she actually changed the course of the country and religion.

01:31:32.420 You know, it's interesting that in the founding era, the concept of separating whites and blacks

01:31:38.200 is not nearly as prominent as it was in the Civil War.

01:31:40.580 And so in so many places, even where there was slavery, there was not the segregation.

01:31:45.320 Let me just give you an example.

01:31:46.780 Something we found just in the last few months was in the American Revolution, we cannot find

01:31:52.580 a single battle that had segregated units in fighting.

01:31:56.660 All blacks, all whites fought together throughout the American Revolution.

01:31:59.960 It was a total volunteer army, which means you had to reenlist if you wanted to fight more

01:32:04.480 than the six months.

01:32:05.220 You sign up for six months.

01:32:06.340 That's it.

01:32:07.020 The average black soldier served nine times longer than the average white soldier did,

01:32:12.360 and that's on voluntary reenlistments.

01:32:14.700 They averaged nine enlistments the average black soldier did.

01:32:18.380 Average white soldier was one. 0.91

01:32:21.120 So nine times longer with black guys in a volunteer army serving side by side, no segregated units.

01:32:28.720 The narrative, you said earlier, we're a melting pot even back then.

01:32:31.760 Then we looked at George Washington's generals.

01:32:34.260 Out of 76 generals he had, 28 of them came from foreign nations.

01:32:38.580 So just over one-third of his generals were foreign nations.

01:32:41.540 You look at all the ladies involved.

01:32:43.060 You look at all the black heroes involved.

01:32:45.420 We used to know that.

01:32:46.400 Thank you, Woodrow Wilson.

01:32:47.320 We know none of that now.

01:32:49.000 Phyllis Wheatley, I just want to go back to her real quick.

01:32:52.380 Emancipated shortly after her book was released.

01:32:53.960 What she leaves out is the important part that Ben Franklin, if I'm not mistaken, used to take her from town to town

01:33:01.220 and would bring her in front of white audiences to read her poetry, basically in a way of saying, 1.00

01:33:09.920 anybody who says black people are stupid, I'd like you to meet somebody. 1.00

01:33:14.960 George Washington did the same thing. 1.00

01:33:16.840 George Washington had her kind of as the first USO for American troops. 0.94

01:33:20.860 George Washington had Phyllis Wheatley read her poetry to the officers at Cambridge when they had the siege of Boston going on.

01:33:28.260 He brought Phyllis Wheatley in to read to the troops. 0.94

01:33:31.340 Why would you do that if you hated all black people? 0.98

01:33:34.680 Why would you do that if you thought they were animals? 0.99

01:33:37.780 You wouldn't do that.

01:33:39.620 You wouldn't do that, but you don't hear this because it goes against the narrative they're trying to create today.

01:33:44.820 They're cutting out major portions of black history in order to create a new narrative that goes in the wrong direction.

01:33:50.480 And I want to talk about that.

01:33:51.680 Let me give you one minute.

01:33:52.660 I'm going to go to you, Burgess, on what we were just talking about.

01:33:56.820 And I want to change it a little bit to what's happening right now.

01:34:00.340 Because, Burgess, you've been doing a great thing on Twitter.

01:34:02.860 You've been tweeting out black history. 0.97

01:34:04.460 You're getting hammered. 0.88

01:34:05.940 You're getting hammered.

01:34:07.260 And I want to talk to you about that coming up in a second.

01:34:09.220 Because something else is happening around the country where we're changing history again.

01:34:14.140 And it is not in a good way.

01:34:15.800 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:34:17.140 It's Goldline.

01:34:17.900 They are still offering their 6% promotional medals delivered directly to you with a qualifying retirement account purchase.

01:34:25.040 Also, Goldline's special on graded Liberty Coins is still going strong.

01:34:29.100 They've acquired additional inventory due to the explosive popularity and unprecedented demand of this historic American coin.

01:34:36.840 One of my favorites is the one that I buy.

01:34:39.700 I bought it in the past.

01:34:41.200 They're hard to get.

01:34:42.680 These are all graded by an independent graded agency for the weight and the purity and the condition.

01:34:47.660 So, you know exactly what you're buying.

01:34:49.740 If you're developing a collection of gold coins.

01:34:54.640 No, this is not a banking instrument.

01:34:56.580 This is not currency.

01:34:57.700 It's a collection.

01:34:59.900 Inventory is limited.

01:35:01.320 You have to call daily to find out what they have and some of the new specials that they have.

01:35:05.820 But Goldline, call them now.

01:35:07.740 866-GOLDLINE.

01:35:08.720 They're waiting for your call.

01:35:10.100 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:35:12.560 10 seconds.

01:35:13.000 Station ID.

01:35:25.000 Burgess, let me pick it up with you.

01:35:27.060 Okay.

01:35:28.900 You wanted to comment on what we were just talking about.

01:35:31.820 Yes, I do.

01:35:33.060 And this is why history is so important.

01:35:35.380 And by the way, I'm blessed.

01:35:37.080 When I was raised in my segregated community of the 60s, we were taught history.

01:35:40.540 We were taught pride in our country.

01:35:41.840 Matter of fact, what we had in common with all the other different cultures around our country, Jewish, German, Polish, we were not assimilating at that time.

01:35:49.640 But what we had in common is love for our country.

01:35:52.060 We had love for our history.

01:35:52.940 And the fact we were called Americans, our goal very simply was to gain respect, command respect from our fellow Americans by beating them out.

01:36:00.700 It's called meritocracy.

01:36:01.920 And that's where we're going.

01:36:02.440 So understand that this has been an attack on our country for a long, long time.

01:36:05.640 It was Karl Marx.

01:36:06.780 The Marxist Karl Marx.

01:36:07.880 It's the first battlegrounds we're writing of history because in our history, we find pride.

01:36:12.680 We find pride in our past.

01:36:13.940 We find appreciation for who we are today and a vision for our future.

01:36:17.080 And our vision for America has always been to look at each other better from inside out versus outside in and understand what we have in common is what makes us so unique and so great as a nation.

01:36:25.980 I can tell you something right now that I never thought when I was in the 60s growing up that I'm not just part of my family.

01:36:33.480 My family is black, white, Hispanic, American Indian, Trinidadian.

01:36:37.760 And if I did some more genealogy, I'd probably find some more.

01:36:40.400 That is the way our country has always been defined.

01:36:43.600 And what we have to understand is there are people out there who do not want us to come together.

01:36:46.780 The we the people, the most powerful three words in the history of mankind, says that we see ourselves as a unit, as a team, and we get past our differences because we have the same endgame.

01:36:54.740 This leftist group, the cowards and the bullies, the people who hide behind liberalism, they hide behind media, they hide behind a computer screen.

01:37:04.680 You can't see them, but they're empowered by destroying people's lives. 0.98

01:37:08.500 And that's what we're up against right now.

01:37:09.940 And understand that the more we know about our history, the more those guys lose because we become proud of who we are.

01:37:15.240 And by the way, that's why they've been trying these leftists in the NFL, NBA, trying to get rid of our flag, our national anthem, our worshiping God.

01:37:23.600 Those are the things that keep us as a unit focused on something we have in common.

01:37:28.520 It allows us to go to a game.

01:37:30.280 And whether we are conservative or liberal, we can root for our team and high five because we're on the same team.

01:37:36.020 So understand that's what they're trying to do, divide us.

01:37:38.320 And they take that.

01:37:39.040 They do that by taking away our history that shows what we've done together is remarkable.

01:37:42.840 By the way, Jeremiah Hamilton in 1821, before the Civil War, was a stockbroker in New York.

01:37:49.660 He died in 1874, worth over $240 million today.

01:37:55.040 That's the kind of things that happen.

01:37:56.780 You have Betsy Coleman.

01:37:57.840 Wait, wait, wait.

01:37:58.380 He was black. 0.95

01:37:59.880 Oh, yeah. 0.85

01:38:00.400 I'm sorry.

01:38:01.300 In 1821, he's a stockbroker.

01:38:05.160 How's that possible?

01:38:06.300 Worth 200 and some million dollars in today's dollars at his death.

01:38:10.300 How is that possible?

01:38:11.220 We don't know that man.

01:38:13.220 Yep.

01:38:13.480 And it's possible because here's the deal that we have to understand in our country.

01:38:17.040 It doesn't matter how we get here, how long we've been here with language and speech.

01:38:20.380 If we focus on four things, our faith, the free market, education, and our family, we can become part of the middle class or beyond.

01:38:30.000 Everyone who succeeds in this country does it through meritocracy.

01:38:33.600 They do it to the fact of command and respect.

01:38:35.780 And people like Jeremiah or Betsy Coleman are the first black pilot, international and national pilot.

01:38:44.060 She passed away in 1934 in an accident.

01:38:48.440 But those are the kind of folks we don't know about.

01:38:50.500 Dr. Drew, I'm sure you know.

01:38:52.360 Dr. Charles Drew, the founder of the blood bank.

01:38:56.520 There's so much of our history that goes on.

01:38:58.660 And if we were to know that, guess what happens to black Americans, black youth?

01:39:02.940 They said, if they can do it back in those days, I can do it today.

01:39:05.580 I'm so proud to have this lineage that shows what great Americans can do.

01:39:10.100 I'm just thankful I grew up in a time where I saw them first time.

01:39:12.500 I'm so blessed.

01:39:13.560 It's not hypothetical to me.

01:39:14.980 And, David, it is becoming more and more difficult to find that.

01:39:19.160 You saw something happen this week that you've never seen before.

01:39:21.960 Yeah, we have seen – we've really encouraged legislators to really get into black history as a way to expand the names.

01:39:29.920 The names you just got from Burgess, you know, that.

01:39:32.940 You had a Biddy Mason.

01:39:34.400 You had a Clara Brown.

01:39:35.520 You had a Stephen Smith, a Charles Patterson.

01:39:37.760 To guarantee – I don't know any of those stories.

01:39:40.420 We have legislators now standing in the floor of the legislatures in the mornings with a three- to five-minute reading on a black hero that they've never heard before.

01:39:48.340 The kind of people we're talking about right now.

01:39:50.140 Just expanding the field.

01:39:52.120 And so two black history resolutions were voted down just in the past week.

01:39:57.040 And the argument was that you're presenting blacks in a way that make them look like they're victors in overcoming, not like they're victims.

01:40:04.120 And that hurts the movement.

01:40:05.960 So we're voting this down because we don't want that image out there.

01:40:09.980 Right.

01:40:10.140 It does hurt the movement, but by doing the reverse, it hurts the people.

01:40:15.420 That's right.

01:40:15.820 Well, it hurts truth.

01:40:16.980 And truth is our objective.

01:40:18.180 You always tell the truth, the good, the bad, the ugly.

01:40:20.200 And there's plenty of bad and ugly with racism and discrimination.

01:40:23.280 But what I'm saying is if you're only telling the downside, you're not only just ignoring the truth of the full picture.

01:40:29.060 You are hurting people because all they hear is you can't make it.

01:40:34.580 That's right.

01:40:34.880 You're a victim.

01:40:35.180 That's right.

01:40:35.440 And that is destructive.

01:40:36.560 That's battery acid to the soul. 0.68

01:40:38.200 That's right.

01:40:38.660 That will just – that's battery acid to the country as well. 0.70

01:40:41.560 Yeah.

01:40:41.680 You will not survive that.

01:40:44.300 So go ahead.

01:40:46.260 Can I add this to that point?

01:40:48.520 Because it really is all about stereotyping. 0.89

01:40:50.360 And what I knew growing up is that there was a mentality, particularly by the Democratic Party, that blacks were not capable. 0.98

01:40:56.640 We're not intelligent. 0.97

01:40:57.440 We were not disciplined.

01:40:58.980 We're not – all those negative stereotypes.

01:41:01.760 And when you look back, you see Martin Luther King marching during the summer months to down south.

01:41:06.960 Understand – remember this.

01:41:08.940 They're walking in white shirts and dark ties.

01:41:11.460 They're walking dressed.

01:41:12.740 They're walking in a way that's very disciplined because they were not only beating out the Jim Crow laws. 0.71

01:41:18.400 They were beating out the Democratic stereotypes that black people were not capable.

01:41:21.680 When I came to the NFL in 1973, there were no black quarterbacks, no black middle linebackers, no black free safeties because those were, quote, white men leadership positions. 0.61

01:41:31.120 We don't think that way anymore.

01:41:32.700 Any position that a person is able to win out, they earn it, and they get millions of dollars to do it.

01:41:39.000 So we've grown in that area, but only in athletics.

01:41:41.500 Why is it that the leftists do not want – have us – they have us in affirmative action when it comes down to thinking, but does not have us in affirmative action when it comes down to sports?

01:41:50.900 That's one of the stereotypes that we have to understand that's against us.

01:41:54.360 We do more than sports and singing and dancing.

01:41:57.460 We can compete in any area that we go up against if we study, we work, and we feel good that we can achieve those opportunities.

01:42:04.340 That's what they're taking away when we have Snoopy Dogg as our hero instead of Ben Carson.

01:42:09.100 All right.

01:42:09.520 I'm going to come back in just a minute.

01:42:10.960 We're going to continue our conversation and tell you some stories that you've never heard before as we celebrate Black History Month.

01:42:20.900 And do it really in spite of all of the haters and the cancel culture that will come after the three of us for doing this hour when all we're trying to say is Blacks have a rich, rich American history that they should know.

01:42:37.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:42:41.340 Connie lives in Nevada.

01:42:42.800 She had come to some bad news a while ago.

01:42:44.580 She was told nothing could be done for her back and hip pain that she'd been plagued with for a while.

01:42:49.400 Pain just kept getting worse and worse and worse.

01:42:51.340 And when somebody says there's nothing you can do about it, it's really rough.

01:42:54.600 And for a while, you'll fight that.

01:42:56.420 And then, you know, you go more people and they say there's nothing really can do about it.

01:43:00.300 And when you see a glimmer of hope, you jump on it.

01:43:05.700 Well, she saw an ad on TV for Relief Factor.

01:43:07.840 She wasn't really hopeful, but she's like, everybody says nothing will work.

01:43:12.040 I'll give it a shot.

01:43:13.420 Well, she said it started working within two days.

01:43:15.920 The pain began to subside.

01:43:17.800 She kept going with Relief Factor.

01:43:19.260 And these days she's reporting that she has no pain.

01:43:22.740 She goes to bed at night pain free.

01:43:26.120 Wakes up the next morning pain free.

01:43:28.240 Connie got her life back.

01:43:29.880 So could you.

01:43:31.100 Relief Factor isn't a drug.

01:44:02.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:10.200 Welcome to it.

01:44:11.500 We are talking Black History Month in a way that will make, you know, the cancel culture scream with glee because, oh my gosh, I can't believe they're talking about it.

01:44:23.540 Yeah, we're talking about it in an accurate way and we're giving the balance.

01:44:27.360 There's a lot of there's a lot of really bad in American history and there's also a lot of really good in American history.

01:44:37.340 And we cover the bad and the good.

01:44:39.980 Let's start with a let's start with an early war hero.

01:44:42.760 David, let's go to the American Revolution to a guy named Jack Sisson.

01:44:48.060 In 1778, America's second in command militarily had been captured.

01:44:52.280 Charles Lee. He's right behind George Washington. We are a volunteer citizen army.

01:44:57.420 We need our military commanders. So we just lost a second in command.

01:45:01.220 Only way you get him back is to have a prisoner exchange with someone of like value.

01:45:05.760 That means Richard Prescott, who is the second in command for the British under Cornwallis.

01:45:10.220 So Colonel William Barton in Rhode Island says, I think I've got a plan to capture the second in command.

01:45:15.760 He says it's going to be really hard. It's a suicide mission. And he laid out his plan.

01:45:20.360 He he asked for volunteers because he said you're not this mission.

01:45:24.240 You're not allowed to take any guns because if you shoot a gun, the British will know we're coming and we'll all be dead.

01:45:28.820 So you can't take any weapons with you. It's a complete suicide mission.

01:45:33.060 I need only volunteers. Twenty blacks and twenty whites volunteered for that mission.

01:45:37.280 This is essentially kind of the first special forces or SEAL team mission.

01:45:40.440 And what happened was Richard Prescott is sitting on an island in the middle of the harbor in Rhode Island.

01:45:46.380 They're outside of Providence. The British fleet is surrounding the island.

01:45:49.960 They're all parked there. There is a fortress in the middle of the island.

01:45:53.020 And General Prescott is barricaded inside the fortress.

01:45:56.860 It's going to be a piece of cake. Yeah. Yeah. Easy. Don't worry about it.

01:46:00.700 So what happens is they they take out about two in the morning with with several boats.

01:46:06.260 And they put these these 40 guys in the boats, Jack Sissons in the first boat right up front.

01:46:11.140 And they put what they call mufflers on their oars. They have to row under the British Navy.

01:46:15.240 So then that's they just like towels around. That's right.

01:46:18.240 They wrap the end of the oars with cloth. So as you go through the water, you're not splashing.

01:46:21.800 So they row right under the British fleet. They get to the island.

01:46:26.220 The British guards aren't expecting anyone.

01:46:28.200 They quickly knock out all the British sentries and British guards around the fortress.

01:46:31.560 They look to find out where where the general is. General Prescott is.

01:46:35.700 He's barricaded inside a room, wrought iron hinges.

01:46:38.940 It's an oak door. It's an oak bar on the inside of the door.

01:46:41.900 And they say, oh, my gosh, to beat that down with hammers.

01:46:45.260 Everybody's going to know we're here. And that's when Jack Sissons said, get out of my way.

01:46:49.340 And he backed up down the hall. He charged the door with his head and shoulder, pop the hinges, broke the oak, broke the inside bar.

01:46:57.340 The door kept going right inside the room. General Prescott set up in bed to see what was happening.

01:47:02.220 He knocked him out cold with one hit.

01:47:04.680 He picked him up, put him under his arm and walked down the hall with the general under his arm, got back in the boat, rode across the harbor.

01:47:11.100 And they had the prisoner exchange. We got our second command back.

01:47:13.740 It was a black patriot, Jack Sisson, who essentially is the first SEAL team member.

01:47:17.540 You would say that is and I know SEAL team members like that.

01:47:20.640 I mean, I've got a guy who works on my staff, Craig, who was a Royal Marine, who would be just like that.

01:47:27.160 But you'd hear that story and you'd say, that's just a thing.

01:47:29.760 That's, you know, oh, and, you know, what was his name? Big John Henry.

01:47:35.280 Yeah. You know. Oh, yeah. And he was a big man and he, you know, pounded his way through a mountain.

01:47:39.140 But this is true. This is true. This is all documented.

01:47:42.440 This is documented in a number of early books. And it's just so much fun.

01:47:46.640 And as a matter of fact, if you go to the first of the American Revolution, John Adams said it began at the Boston Massacre.

01:47:52.000 The first man shot in the Boston Massacre, Chris Posaddock, a black man.

01:47:55.960 You go to the last battle of the American Revolution, the Battle of Yorktown.

01:48:00.440 George Washington and Alexander and Lafayette, Marquis de Lafayette, two white guys, say the reason we won that battle was a black man, James Armistead.

01:48:08.300 The American Revolution starts with a black man and ends with a black man. 0.95

01:48:11.980 You don't get that in history today.

01:48:13.340 But the founding fathers who were there pointed those black people as being the reason that we started, the reason we ended, all the way through.

01:48:19.760 And there's stories like Jack Sisson.

01:48:21.740 This is this book from William Nell, 1851, called Colored Patriots of the American Revolution.

01:48:27.640 It's not a skinny book, and it's nothing but the black heroes of the American Revolution we no longer study today.

01:48:32.380 Burgess, you brought up the stockbroker on Wall Street from 1821, dies in the 1880s, a multi, multi, multi-millionaire.

01:48:43.660 And I know you've tweeted out somebody that, you know, I didn't know.

01:48:49.360 I don't know if most people knew at the time, Madam C.J. Walker.

01:48:55.120 Oh, gosh, yes.

01:48:56.020 Why is it that it seems that every single – I mean, you ask the average American, who is the first really successful black woman?

01:49:06.240 And I bet you most will say, outside of music, Oprah.

01:49:11.600 It couldn't be further from the truth.

01:49:15.100 No, and that –

01:49:16.200 Go ahead.

01:49:17.380 I'm sorry.

01:49:17.660 And that's actually – when you steal people's history, you steal the pride in their past and who they are.

01:49:25.840 And I think that's so unfortunate.

01:49:27.120 I mean, we can go through a litany of success, but let me just kind of summarize it in this one way.

01:49:32.800 And here's something that we understand how bad things were in terms of our country.

01:49:36.140 We're not assimilating.

01:49:37.160 Segregation was going strong. 0.98

01:49:38.300 But yet, in the 40s, because of this one thing that we all, as black Americans, agreed in, we loved our country, God, family, respected women in authority.

01:49:49.140 Bottom line.

01:49:49.680 And we had a dad in home that made sure you understood what that meant.

01:49:52.720 What does that come down to?

01:49:54.200 Well, in the 40s, 50s, and the 60s, because black Americans coming back, particularly from the war, understood that they can achieve anything in their segregated community.

01:50:01.980 So what did that look like in terms of competing with the rest of our nation?

01:50:05.500 We led the country in a growth of the middle class.

01:50:07.660 We led the country, men matriculated from college, because college was our doorway. 0.64

01:50:11.680 I have a grandfather who had 12 kids.

01:50:13.720 Every single one of them graduated from college.

01:50:15.820 He was a farmer.

01:50:19.040 We led the country in terms of men matriculated from college, men committed to marriage, over 70%, and percentage of entrepreneurs.

01:50:25.980 40% of entrepreneurs across the country equated to 50% to 60% of black Americans living the American dream.

01:50:32.500 In 1960, I had an uncle who had a business.

01:50:35.760 He was an entrepreneur, but he also loved flying.

01:50:38.200 So he bought a plane so he could take mail from one base in Texas to Chicago, his part-time job.

01:50:44.520 He flew to Tallahassee at the age of 10 years old, had a chance to experience my first flight.

01:50:49.740 Now, we were not rich.

01:50:50.720 We were middle class.

01:50:51.680 But the bottom line is we believed that anything was possible because it's all around us.

01:50:55.720 That's what we have to keep in mind.

01:50:56.860 And today, particularly, we have to understand what's going on.

01:51:00.180 Just think about this, Glenn.

01:51:01.480 I'm a black American, a third black to go to the University of Miami.

01:51:04.500 I graduated in biology because I had a dad who taught education, a mom and dad who taught education, was a Super Bowl champion.

01:51:12.240 The most important chapter of my life was failing after that.

01:51:15.400 So for a few months, I was a chimney sweep and a security guard because we were taught to man up if you had to do whatever you had to do to do it honestly for your family.

01:51:23.460 And out of that, I had achieved my dreams.

01:51:25.900 We talked about this for years when I started a foundation for Second Chance for Youth.

01:51:29.060 But here's where we are today.

01:51:30.500 Today, I'm a ranking member as a freshman for a subcommittee in the education and labor.

01:51:36.640 Where else can that happen in America?

01:51:38.180 By the way, that's not going to happen in the Democratic Party.

01:51:40.260 They will not allow a man like me, a person like me, to be a ranking member as a freshman because they're all about seniority.

01:51:46.200 They're all about making sure that the right people keep an order.

01:51:48.740 And then those who want to rise, they have to toe the line.

01:51:52.700 They can turn against their race. 0.68

01:51:54.220 They can put me leaders.

01:51:54.960 They can do anything.

01:51:55.520 They can vote against choice in school.

01:51:57.480 They can vote for abortion for our babies. 0.99

01:52:00.000 They can vote for anything that hurts our country and our race as long as they know they're going for power and they have these white leaders that they are going to make sure they keep charged. 0.78

01:52:08.960 So we have the American dream all across our country.

01:52:12.580 Ben Carson, Condi Rice, Justice Thompson, all came from that same generation of Americans who love God, country, family, respect for women, and authority.

01:52:23.140 And we have to get back to that.

01:52:24.420 And that's what the left does not want us to happen.

01:52:26.340 They do not want us to talk about our past so our kids can grow up and say,

01:52:29.860 you know what, if he can do that, I can do it.

01:52:32.400 What do I need to do?

01:52:33.520 How about this?

01:52:34.460 Love your God, country, family, respect for women, and authority.

01:52:37.420 Bottom line, you do that, this country will reward you in a big, big way.

01:52:40.660 I don't care what color you are. 0.96

01:52:42.620 David, we're going to run out of time.

01:52:44.720 And I know you're sitting here with tons of stories.

01:52:48.780 Maybe we'll do something next week if we can have you back.

01:52:52.000 Maybe I'll do a podcast with you guys.

01:52:55.380 But I wanted to bring this to the 1619 Project because that is a lie. 0.96

01:53:01.320 It is a literal reimagining, keyword imagining, a reimagining of American history.

01:53:09.820 They themselves have had to admit at the New York Times, it's not based on fact.

01:53:17.360 It's a dreamt up idea for us to think about what the world would be like if that were the way America was founded.

01:53:27.020 But it is being taught in schools.

01:53:31.040 There's one school district or state that I saw yesterday said no to the 1619 Project, but it's sweeping. 0.90

01:53:40.740 We have an opportunity, and we took it based on faith and maybe a little bit of insanity.

01:53:47.060 We took an opportunity to buy the largest collection of pilgrim and pre-1700 American history in the world.

01:54:02.640 That's right.

01:54:03.040 It is a gigantic collection.

01:54:05.360 It is.

01:54:06.080 Tell me what's in it and why it's important.

01:54:08.940 Let me tell you what's important first because when you look at American history, the 1619 Project is one stream of American history.

01:54:15.680 Slavery did enter into the South.

01:54:18.300 It did enter through Jamestown.

01:54:20.020 It did enter through Virginia.

01:54:21.880 And this collection has documents from 1619, from Jamestown.

01:54:28.000 It's got all of that stuff.

01:54:28.800 Except it shows that slavery came into America prior to 1619, came in with the Spanish.

01:54:33.980 So it blows the 1619 Project up.

01:54:36.200 By the way, 1619 is not even when slavery got started in Virginia.

01:54:39.180 It was 1651 when a black man sued to own another black man, and the courts in Virginia said, yep, you can do that. 0.94

01:54:44.940 So Anthony Johnson, a black man, becomes the first slave owner in Virginia, and that's 1651.

01:54:50.840 So 1619 is not even right on their narrative.

01:54:53.200 Well, they would say their narrative is 1619 because it was a black indentured student, so a black indentured family that had a child.

01:55:01.460 Well, about 20 of them.

01:55:02.300 There were about 20 that came.

01:55:03.320 Right.

01:55:03.660 Right.

01:55:04.140 But indentured servants were not always black.

01:55:07.720 Well, most of those who came to Virginia early on were indentured.

01:55:11.480 They were just whites. 0.98

01:55:12.560 It just means they took out a loan, and they became collateral for that.

01:55:15.520 All of those 20 blacks that came as slaves off a slave ship, where the British took them off of a slave ship, they all became landowners in Virginia. 0.98

01:55:22.980 They all became free and became landowners.

01:55:24.960 They did not remain slaves.

01:55:26.000 I didn't know that.

01:55:26.820 Yeah.

01:55:27.540 That indenture was over after seven years, after which time the state gave them land.

01:55:31.700 They became landowners, and they had their own property.

01:55:34.920 Until 1651.

01:55:36.120 Until 1651.

01:55:37.360 So why is this so important that this remains?

01:55:43.060 Because I know the guy who was selling it, who's collected a very, very well-established, credible historian, and he's selling it.

01:55:54.260 He was selling it.

01:55:54.980 It's getting old.

01:55:55.520 He wants it to go.

01:55:56.540 He wants it to go to us and not be broken up.

01:56:00.380 Why did he give us such an amazing deal on this?

01:56:03.560 Because he likes the view that we have, which is a historical view, that while there was a Jamestown, there was also a Plymouth.

01:56:09.920 And Plymouth is the second colony in America.

01:56:12.300 And in Plymouth, they outlawed slavery from the start.

01:56:15.180 Slavery was illegal.

01:56:16.220 They called it man-stealing, quoted the Bible, capital defense.

01:56:19.540 The first slave ship that came to Plymouth, they freed all the slaves, imprisoned all the slave owners. 0.76

01:56:24.460 There was not a time in Massachusetts history when you could not vote as a black person.

01:56:29.300 So all this stuff is a different story.

01:56:31.540 If you want to focus on 1619, that's part of America.

01:56:34.520 That's not accurate, but this is part of America.

01:56:36.680 We focus on the other side because the pilgrim side is really what America became. 0.76

01:56:41.260 And what we strive to be.

01:56:43.100 That's right.

01:56:43.660 That's what we should be.

01:56:44.860 We can dwell on, you know, this guy or that guy, but that which you gaze upon, you become.

01:56:51.360 Why aren't we gazing upon a higher standard?

01:56:54.480 Yeah, and that's what this this collection is.

01:56:57.420 It is the greatest collection of authentic documents of that strain of America that nobody's talking about, or at least the left is not talking about today.

01:57:05.920 And it documents authoritatively without any question with the original documents what happened in America.

01:57:11.860 And the side of the story, the 1619 Project is trying to erase.

01:57:15.600 And by the way, this may be to me the most, I don't know the adjective described, but part of the 1619 Project is currently being used in all 50 states.

01:57:26.140 Even if a state legislature bans it, it will be used because it's a voluntary curriculum without charge.

01:57:31.020 Teachers take it and use it.

01:57:32.760 Part of that, they have what's called an erasure point where they give you actual authentic American documents.

01:57:38.000 They redact the documents, leave six or eight words in them.

01:57:40.900 They say, we want you to erase history and rewrite it the way you think it should have been.

01:57:44.760 And that is a classroom exercise to take authentic documents, trash them out, redact the content, leave you six or eight words, and just rewrite it the way you think it should be.

01:57:55.960 That is dangerous for America's future.

01:57:58.920 Holy cow. 0.89

01:57:59.880 If you would like to help us preserve history, especially this, we need a team of people that are going to pony up.

01:58:08.680 And we can do it $5 at a time.

01:58:11.040 And I know a lot of people that want to do that.

01:58:13.660 But we also are looking for some people with some real wealth that will also step with us and secure this for future generations.

01:58:21.300 You can make a donation now at mercuryone.org.

01:58:25.160 That's mercuryone.org.
