00:00:00.000 Hey, it's a great podcast for you today. Bill O'Reilly is here. We talk about the latest on
00:00:05.720 the border, the latest insanity from Joe Biden, including the tax hikes that are coming. We talk
00:00:13.640 about the heroin that is being pumped into our system with critical race theory. And I'll show
00:00:19.420 you what's happening in Virginia today to parents who are standing up against critical race theory
00:00:25.000 being taught. I'll compare it to what was happening in California with the Klan. And you tell me
00:00:32.160 there's a difference. Don't forget blazetv.com slash Glenn is a place to go to subscribe to
00:00:36.580 blazetv. Brand new Stu Does America tonight. We have Janice Dean on with the latest of the Cuomo
00:00:41.280 scandal. That's going to be good. Don't miss that. And don't forget, Andrew Cuomo is awful.
00:00:46.760 Dot com. He is. I can't forget that. No, you can't forget it. Oh, it's a dot com. It's a dot com
00:00:50.320 address as well. I wish I could buy a mug or a t-shirt. You can. Shut up. Yes. At an affordable
00:00:55.740 price. Sort of. You're not the best at selling. Oh. You're listening to the best of the Glenn
00:01:10.620 Beck program. The news of the day proof that we do not live in the matrix yet.
00:01:20.320 Uh, because it would be a much happier place. Wouldn't you be happy if you found out,
00:01:25.580 no, you're living in the matrix. Really? As long as when I was pulled out of the matrix,
00:01:30.780 it's it wasn't worse. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And I think in this case, it might be worse. Yeah.
00:01:37.380 Welcome to Pat Gray from Pat, Pat Gray Unleashed and the home of the impossible to remember cookie
00:01:45.280 company. It is not impossible to remember. It's Keksi Cookies. Yeah. My wife says K-E-K-S-I.
00:01:52.220 And my wife said, what, what does Kek, and I said, it's Finnish for cookies. And she said,
00:01:58.680 well, the Finns will be happy. Are you guys shipping a lot to Finland? A lot. A lot of them.
00:02:04.260 About 85% of our business is Helsinki. They're really good. Really? Yeah. Wow. It's weird.
00:02:12.140 It's an odd choice. Yeah. It is. Well, I mean, you know, if you're Finnish, you might be online
00:02:18.020 looking for cookies. Yeah. And it's Keksi. And that's the first thing that comes up. Yeah.
00:02:22.460 Sorry we went with something meaningful to our family. Yeah. Well, my son served a mission
00:02:29.540 there. If you're not aware, that's, that's why he. Ah, okay. And he's the president of
00:02:33.460 the company. So really? Yes. And a member? And a member. And a member. Isn't that something?
00:02:38.180 That's great. Yeah, it is. I mean, but you know, he doesn't do all the work himself,
00:02:41.560 you know? No, I was. In fact, I think we have a picture of Pat doing the work in a hairnet.
00:02:46.260 Do we have the areas in a hairnet? There I am. In a hairnet. That's a good look. That's
00:02:51.480 a good look for you. It is. How come you don't have a hairnet over your face for the beard?
00:02:56.460 The beard, beard hair can get right into the face nets. I don't know. I think for you,
00:03:01.940 you need to have one. Okay. You need to have one. So, but today we go nationwide. Today is
00:03:07.440 the day that anywhere in the nation, you can, you can order Keksi cookies at Keksi.com.
00:03:12.620 And that's, of course, let's pretend you didn't know how to spell. K-E-K-S-I. Yeah.
00:03:17.480 They are the best cookies. They are the best. They are. Despite the name, they are the best.
00:03:21.300 Yes, they are really good. Yeah, they're really good. We ordered, I shouldn't say, but a lot
00:03:26.680 of cookies. A lot of cookies just yesterday. Yeah, we have some visitors. Yeah. What do
00:03:30.760 you mean? Are you monitoring my cookies? Yes, we're watching everything you do. Really? Yeah.
00:03:35.080 My gosh, when did you turn into Google? Cookie Company slash intelligence agency.
00:03:38.980 By the way, Glenn, turn your heat down. Nevermind. We just did. We did it for you.
00:03:49.600 So, Pat. Yes. Here we are at the end of the week. A memorable week, huh? A memorable week. A
00:03:55.820 memorable week. Yes. And what is the story that we may have missed or you think we really need to hit?
00:04:01.120 Well, we hit this a little bit yesterday, but I was kind of dumbfounded by the root author
00:04:07.800 and his claim about white people should be eliminated like a virus from the earth.
00:04:14.480 And why were you? I'm just, I'm thinking maybe we need to put a stop to this kind of talk.
00:04:20.200 Why is that okay? Can you imagine if a white person wrote something similar about any minority
00:04:25.460 group? What kind of, what kind of outrage there'd be? There'd be no, there'd be no outrage because
00:04:31.080 of systematic racism. Okay. White people have all the power, all of the power. And I just saw,
00:04:39.060 I just saw a story from the, uh, the UN secretary general saying that, uh, right wing, uh, uh, terrorism
00:04:50.000 is becoming a pandemic. It is, it's growing in, in power circles and in, at the political
00:04:58.120 level. And I thought to myself, of course he's onto us. That's why we have all this power.
00:05:02.840 Yeah. You know? Yeah. We are really listened to very carefully. We are. We are. People are doing
00:05:07.280 everything we say, everything we say. That's why it wouldn't be a big deal. Maybe all white people
00:05:11.620 should be eliminated. Pat. I got this from, uh, Ali Paca, who was talking about our college
00:05:17.380 class. It, they made everybody in the class take a, how white privilege, how white privileged
00:05:23.300 you are test. And some of the questions on the test are just, uh, well, it shows you the
00:05:29.240 kind of privilege you have. Like I can go shopping and not worry that I will be not be followed
00:05:34.300 or harassed or assumed to be stealing. Okay. We hear that all the time. Not necessarily.
00:05:38.940 I can turn on the television or go to the movies and see people of my race in a wide variety
00:05:44.260 of roles. Uh, yeah. Lately. Lately. Lately. I see a lot of different people. Yeah. Right.
00:05:51.540 From me. Yeah. Yeah. Most magazines have pictures of people like me. No. What? Big fat people?
00:05:57.080 No. No. That's not. They don't. They do not. And elderly, really. Elderly fat people. Right.
00:06:03.460 Right. There's not a lot of those. Yeah. No. I can go into a hairdresser's shop and find
00:06:08.380 someone who can cut and fix my kind of hair. Can blacks and Hispanics not go into a hairdresser
00:06:14.820 and have them be able to fix their hair? Well, Hispanics can. Blacks have different hair.
00:06:19.740 But I mean, most places you would go would be able to deal with that. Right? I mean,
00:06:23.900 I don't know. What kind of hairdresser are you? This has been a long-term complaint, apparently.
00:06:28.580 Um, I remember they did a, there was some like Oscar winning short film about this, like
00:06:34.720 about how difficult it was to get your hair cut. I mean, again, I would think that that's
00:06:39.120 right. I would assume that if we went to countries, uh, overseas, uh, if we went to a place where
00:06:44.540 the cultural norm, um, potentially 80% of the population was, you know, had different
00:06:49.220 hair than us, we might have some difficulty finding that as well. I don't know. Holy cow.
00:06:54.060 Listen to every other. I know every other country is better than this one.
00:06:58.100 That's not all. Every other country has, I don't care if you're the only one, you can go
00:07:03.980 into any place. Really? So they're all experts on, you could go into a cookie store and they
00:07:09.920 will cut your hair. Really? Yeah. No matter what race you are or your hairstyle in every
00:07:15.220 other country. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They catch it all in a hair net though. Cause they don't
00:07:20.880 want the hair in the cookies. That makes sense. You don't want that. Yeah. All right. If
00:07:23.960 I swear or dress in old clothes, people don't say or think all people of my race are rude
00:07:30.220 or bad. Is that a thing too? Like if a black person would swear, would you think, Oh my
00:07:35.020 gosh, all black people are bad. It's so ridiculous. When I hear people swear and, and, and act
00:07:43.980 poorly, I just think all people are so bad. Yeah. Like you'd think of the, if a, if you walk
00:07:51.720 by a group of white people and they're all swearing, you think they're terrible, right?
00:07:56.060 That's just, I mean, like, that's just what you do. It's that behavior. So, but if a black
00:08:00.140 person does it, do you think any, think of something about the entire race? No, of course
00:08:04.500 not. But no, but wait, wait, wait, let's accept that all of these are true. Just, just for now,
00:08:09.260 no, but for the sake of argument, accept that all of these are true. Okay. Look what the culture
00:08:16.320 is now doing. They're not saying these aren't true. Look at us. Let us hold up the, the highlights
00:08:24.680 of our society. What they're saying now is you deserve that treatment. Instead there,
00:08:31.860 I mean, read, start at the beginning again. See if these aren't all being done to white
00:08:36.520 people right now. I can go shopping and not worry that I'll be followed. Probably not.
00:08:41.760 Turn on the television or go to the movies and see people of my race in a wide variety
00:08:45.200 of roles. Uh, no, I, I have a hard time. That's such a weird, I don't understand that
00:08:50.720 one. Frankly, I, I, I don't know. I mean, I'm look, I'm a white dude. Maybe that's why
00:08:54.340 I don't understand it. Like, you know, we went to, um, we went to a festival here in
00:08:58.480 Texas. I guess it was when they allowed them, uh, whatever that was. I remember when I was
00:09:05.820 a kid and we went, it was, it was, it was called a dessert festival. And I was like, that's
00:09:10.260 me. How am I not at a dessert festival? So I immediately bought tickets to the dessert
00:09:14.500 festival. How you didn't call me. I never understand. And it was a relatively long drive
00:09:20.580 from, uh, from where we work here. And we went to the place and we walked, we got out
00:09:25.740 of our car and walked into the festival and we were the only white people in the entire
00:09:31.760 festival. That's a crime. Now you did notice it when you walked in because you're not blind.
00:09:35.760 However, at no point, I mean, and they had cultural differences. I remember seeing a Michael
00:09:42.380 Jackson impersonator going around and taking pictures with the kids. And I thought to myself,
00:09:46.680 that wouldn't happen in a lot of areas of this country, considering I'm pretty sure he
00:09:53.460 was molesting children. It was a weird thing for me to see, but it was a different, it was
00:09:58.080 a cultural difference. There was, that's how hard it is for blacks to get jobs. They have
00:10:02.140 to play Michael Jackson. I mean, you think about this, you've got all this work, you've
00:10:05.900 nailed a Michael Jackson impersonation. And then all of a sudden you're like, come on,
00:10:09.880 come on, come on. This is by the way, post documentary that came out on HBO.
00:10:13.800 Wow. So, and he's going around like every, every kid is like, oh, they're taking a picture.
00:10:18.440 I'm like, wow, that's, you know what? Ironic. Kids, you're not going to be taking a picture
00:10:22.140 with that particular impersonator. But I mean, it was really enjoyable. At no point did I
00:10:27.000 feel like I was in, you know, like being looked at or I was out of place. You just, I mean,
00:10:31.760 we, I don't think, you don't think about those things unless you prioritize race as the
00:10:37.980 number one thing in your life. And apparently we're supposed to now. Well, I think this,
00:10:42.360 I think this is the way it was probably back in the sixties and seventies and before that,
00:10:48.100 but in the eighties and nineties and 2000s, it's yeah. When I was a kid, it probably would
00:10:55.900 have been that way. Maybe. Yeah. When I was a little kid, but it wasn't like that in the
00:11:00.860 nineties and the not at all. We've gone so far backward. Yeah. It's a friend of a friend
00:11:06.580 of my wife's message her the other day, her kids in public school and pretty young, you
00:11:12.800 know, like to the, you know, six or seven and they got into some of this critical race theory
00:11:18.040 stuff already in the school apparently. And before where she live, I don't know. I don't
00:11:24.820 know. I don't know. Before this happened, you know, just like I know my kid, like never
00:11:29.440 notice it. Like they don't, they might notice that they look different or whatever, but
00:11:33.540 there's carefully taught. They have to be carefully taught to be a racist. Right. And so again,
00:11:37.860 like that, that this kid is a racist, but is now coming home and saying that person has
00:11:42.120 black skin, that person has brown skin. It's now like the thing they're talking about all
00:11:46.260 the time because this has started it. Like this has launched them into starting to think
00:11:51.680 about the differences of race and starting to use that as a way to separate in their mind
00:11:57.020 how people are and what they do. And it's like, that was never the case before this training
00:12:05.060 that they're receiving at public schools. By the way, did you see that the California
00:12:08.960 state school board has now approved curriculum? It's mandatory that every high school student
00:12:16.100 have at least one, uh, one class of critical race theory. It's mandatory.
00:12:23.160 Incredible. And this is, again, I keep bringing this up, but we keep yelling and yelling, open
00:12:30.280 up the schools. Why? Yeah. Look at, look, there's Chris Ruffo had another article. Open up your
00:12:36.060 home and teach your kids there. Do anything you can do, right? Like we went to, uh, Chris
00:12:41.300 Ruffo has another story that I think it came out yesterday in the city journal. I think it
00:12:45.280 was North Carolina is same type of thing. Young kids being taught all sorts of things about
00:12:50.740 how if you're white, you're bad, you know, uh, you should, everybody's a racist. All of these
00:12:57.500 things are being taught in these schools that we as conservatives keep demanding they open as a top
00:13:02.200 priority. Now look, because of COVID and all of this, the science behind it, it should, these
00:13:07.440 schools should be open. They should not be closed for these reasons. And these teachers unions are a
00:13:11.540 big part of that, but like we, what are we wishing for here? We do story after story after story
00:13:16.680 about how terrible these schools are. And then we all beg for them to open like everything you can
00:13:22.820 do. Not everyone can do it. I understand that everything you can do to try to figure out a
00:13:27.260 different solution. So listen to this in Virginia, a group of teachers and parents in Northern Virginia,
00:13:33.060 um, uh, were, were, uh, outed, if you will, they were going after parents that, um, said no to the
00:13:43.420 inclusion of critical race theory. And they allegedly were targeted for retaliation. According
00:13:49.700 to daily wire, the Virginia project announced plans for legal action after members of an
00:13:55.940 anti-racist Facebook group with 624 members sought to compile a document of all known actors and
00:14:04.220 supporters and intended to expose these people publicly. This is, you know, this is exactly what
00:14:11.160 the Klan did. Sarah call Mercury one in the vault and see if you can get the card from the Klan on
00:14:21.440 the number of people and the faces of the people that needed to be killed by the Klan. It's an,
00:14:26.760 it's an amazing thing. It's exactly the same tactic. It's exactly the same.
00:14:33.020 Incredible. Thank you, Pat. Thanks for dropping by. It is Friday.
00:14:36.560 What's that website there, uh, Pat? Uh, keksi.com. K-E-K-S-I. So difficult. K-E-K-S-I.
00:14:42.700 Well, it's five full letters. It is. It is. Well, I mean, they say that finish is a, you know,
00:14:48.300 a difficult language, a difficult and a dying language. Uh, but I say, hold on to it because
00:14:54.260 soon it's going to sweep the world. There's 5 million Finns who are holding on to it.
00:14:59.420 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There's 5 million people in this city alone.
00:15:02.980 I'm more than that. The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:21.500 The new, uh, uh, uh, what's his name? Uh, Cumberbunch, uh, Benjamin Cumberbunch.
00:15:28.560 Benedict Cumberbatch. Yes. That's the guy. His new movie is coming out. It looks really good.
00:15:32.960 Really good. The Courier. I think it's a Cold War story. Okay. You haven't seen.
00:15:38.120 I've not seen any previews for it. Yeah. But I'm, I'm, I'm in. I'm, I'm, it sounds interesting.
00:15:42.660 I'm, you know, I'm, I'm, Tanya and I, I'm waiting for the theaters to open up. That's,
00:15:47.740 that's one of our favorite things to do is to go to movies and, uh, and then, you know,
00:15:53.200 walk out and talk about how pissed off we are at Hollywood for everything. And then, you know,
00:15:58.440 we're over it by the next Friday and we go out to see another movie.
00:16:02.260 You are interesting in that way. Like you get really pissed off at like sodas when they do
00:16:06.640 something you don't like, but like the movies, you don't care. You'll just keep going back to it.
00:16:10.360 Yeah. Yeah. Like a gene company. If they run a commercial, you don't like,
00:16:14.240 you will never buy them again and you'll stick to it. Yeah. But like, you know,
00:16:17.680 I have not bought a pair of Levi's since. Right. Yeah.
00:16:20.320 But like you could have 19 communists in a movie and you're like, give me, let me,
00:16:24.100 how do I spend $20 to watch you? Right. Cause I, you know,
00:16:28.220 I grew up expecting them to be communist. They meet my expectations.
00:16:34.500 That's right. You know, promise versus performance. Yeah. Okay.
00:16:37.620 You know, if you're going in and you're expecting Americans to be making movies, no, no, no.
00:16:42.960 But if you go in going, these are all Russian spies, you're cool.
00:16:46.540 That's a good starting point. You're totally cool. They can't let you down.
00:16:49.300 Yeah. By the way, uh, what's her name? That was in princess bride.
00:16:52.280 She had the new movie in the woods or all alone or something like that.
00:16:56.780 She played the princess in princess, Robin, right? Yeah. Robin, Robin, right.
00:17:00.160 Speaking of communists. Yeah. Um,
00:17:02.940 we saw her movie a couple of weeks ago. Really good. I get really, really good.
00:17:07.600 These movies need to start coming out and like they,
00:17:09.920 they're starting to move them up now. I don't know if you've seen this.
00:17:11.960 Yeah. The black spider, black widow or whatever it is starting to move up. Yeah.
00:17:16.100 Uh, the, the, uh, quiet place too. Uh, it might be in theaters.
00:17:20.400 Yeah. That moved that up as well. I think to Memorial Day.
00:17:22.980 Disney said they're not there.
00:17:24.460 They don't think that it's ever going to go back to theatrical elite release alone.
00:17:29.020 That's probably the right thing at this point. Yeah.
00:17:31.160 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:37.180 And we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:46.460 So in Virginia, as in all over the country, uh,
00:17:50.680 parents have started to rise up.
00:17:53.180 If you thought common core was bad,
00:17:56.560 what's being shoved down the throats of our children in all of our schools.
00:18:01.260 Now with critical race theory is a thousand times more dangerous than common core.
00:18:07.220 And common core was really bad.
00:18:10.340 This is poison.
00:18:13.620 And in Virginia,
00:18:14.980 parents have gotten together and they are opposing the critical race theory.
00:18:20.200 It's called CRT.
00:18:21.780 They don't want it taught in the schools where their children are.
00:18:27.200 Well,
00:18:27.980 apparently,
00:18:30.440 um,
00:18:31.760 the anti-racist Facebook with,
00:18:36.100 uh,
00:18:36.580 624 members,
00:18:38.400 which includes parents and teachers were compiling,
00:18:43.880 uh,
00:18:44.960 names and addresses.
00:18:46.320 In fact,
00:18:46.820 let me say,
00:18:47.680 please comment below.
00:18:48.960 This is what was posted.
00:18:50.260 Please comment below with the legal names of those individuals trying to stop CRT,
00:18:56.000 the area of residence and,
00:18:59.420 or the school board rep known known accounts on social media and any other information you feel is relevant.
00:19:07.960 Well,
00:19:08.760 what do you think that's all about?
00:19:11.660 They are targeting parents who say this is wrong and teachers are involved.
00:19:22.380 You've got to stop putting all teachers into the good category.
00:19:28.280 It's,
00:19:28.600 it's time now for teachers to show us,
00:19:32.380 are you on the right side?
00:19:35.500 Stand with us against critical race theory.
00:19:38.640 If you don't,
00:19:39.980 I'm sorry.
00:19:41.980 You're not on the right side.
00:19:44.460 You say,
00:19:45.120 well,
00:19:45.260 I can't lose my job.
00:19:46.560 Yeah,
00:19:47.060 well,
00:19:47.320 I could lose my children.
00:19:48.820 I could lose my children.
00:19:50.500 And maybe you don't understand the damage,
00:19:53.020 but all you have to do is read.
00:19:57.060 So now they're being targeted.
00:19:58.700 Now this is happening in the South.
00:19:59.880 This is happening in Virginia.
00:20:02.000 Let me show you something that we have in the vault and I'll describe it to you.
00:20:06.160 If you are listening to us,
00:20:08.140 if you're watching us on blaze TV,
00:20:10.940 you will see radical members of the,
00:20:15.200 of the,
00:20:16.900 I think it says GOP legislature or the Georgia legislature.
00:20:22.800 It's California.
00:20:24.020 Sorry.
00:20:24.360 I can't see it.
00:20:24.900 It's so far away.
00:20:25.820 Radical members of the California legislature.
00:20:28.340 And you will see that there's,
00:20:31.360 what do you think?
00:20:31.920 25,
00:20:32.760 30 people pictured in this.
00:20:34.780 This is a very old card from the 1800s.
00:20:37.960 And you will see there are black people and white people.
00:20:41.440 About half of them are black.
00:20:42.980 Most of them are white.
00:20:43.980 Doesn't it appear that way to you?
00:20:45.660 Yeah.
00:20:46.020 Yeah.
00:20:46.760 At least,
00:20:47.720 at least half of them are white.
00:20:50.460 Well,
00:20:50.940 what is this?
00:20:54.620 This was a card that was given out to people at clan meetings.
00:21:02.200 If you see on the back,
00:21:04.660 it lists who they are.
00:21:08.100 This was a polite hit list.
00:21:11.640 Now the clan always denied that,
00:21:14.260 but how do you think they found the people they wanted to lynch?
00:21:18.240 All of these people were Republicans.
00:21:23.360 If you don't know the history of the clan,
00:21:26.020 you should.
00:21:27.140 It was started by the Democratic Party as an enforcer.
00:21:34.380 Those who were GOP members at the time,
00:21:38.980 that meant that you were against slavery and you were fighting,
00:21:42.860 you know,
00:21:44.300 to end racism.
00:21:45.900 And they were losing.
00:21:48.580 So they needed somebody to scare people.
00:21:51.900 This is terrorism.
00:21:55.100 And they actually printed these cards up.
00:21:58.520 Will you tell me the difference between that card?
00:22:02.840 Show it again with the pictures.
00:22:04.700 That card.
00:22:06.120 You see these people.
00:22:08.480 What do you think?
00:22:09.260 This is just so they could see what they look like.
00:22:12.740 Why would you want to see what they look like?
00:22:14.520 This is a list of names and their faces.
00:22:17.560 If you see this person,
00:22:19.720 target them,
00:22:20.960 kill them.
00:22:23.640 That's what the clan did.
00:22:26.100 Now,
00:22:26.820 what is the difference between that?
00:22:30.320 A philosophy of do whatever it takes to shut these people down because they disagree with us.
00:22:39.240 They think they think they think freedom for everybody.
00:22:43.660 What's the difference between that clan card and what these people are doing?
00:22:48.020 These teachers are doing in Virginia.
00:22:51.960 They are making a list,
00:22:55.180 exposing these people,
00:22:58.320 showing them why.
00:23:00.300 Why do you have a list?
00:23:01.720 Why do you have a list?
00:23:03.620 At best,
00:23:05.040 to harass them.
00:23:07.480 At best,
00:23:08.780 to scare them.
00:23:10.880 You want to talk about,
00:23:12.420 you know,
00:23:14.020 organized violence
00:23:15.560 and teaching people to be violent.
00:23:18.080 It isn't coming from the GOP.
00:23:22.460 And if it is,
00:23:23.780 in any shape or form,
00:23:25.840 I and the vast majority,
00:23:28.300 99% of my audience,
00:23:30.720 would condemn it.
00:23:31.820 This is being done in Virginia
00:23:37.240 and no one is saying anything.
00:23:39.740 There is no difference
00:23:41.280 from what was happening
00:23:42.720 back in the 1800s
00:23:44.500 with the clan
00:23:45.440 and what's happening right now
00:23:48.000 and for the same reasons.
00:23:51.140 The clan
00:23:52.360 was racist.
00:23:54.740 Critical race theory
00:23:56.000 is racist
00:23:57.600 and teaching our children to hate people
00:24:00.200 based on their color.
00:24:01.820 It's the same story.
