The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ 5⧸3⧸21

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today, we talk about Joe Biden and his advice to America about

00:00:06.860 masking. It's just your patriotic duty, man. Come on, man. And we'll get into his clip

00:00:12.220 on that. Also, AOC is very happy with the Biden administration. That sounds like a good

00:00:18.800 sign, doesn't it? Mitt Romney was booed at a GOP convention. And we go into why that

00:00:24.900 could possibly happen. We'll get into all that on today's podcast. Don't forget to

00:00:49.000 episode. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:03.140 Pat Gray is joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear every day, Monday

00:01:09.180 through Friday, here on The Blaze, right before this program airs live. Or you can pick it up

00:01:14.380 later as a podcast wherever you get your podcasts. All right. I want to start with some audio from

00:01:21.200 Utah and the audio of Mitt Romney coming to the stage. Do we have it? Do we have it? We don't

00:01:31.380 have it. Okay. I don't know how that happened. Let me reenact. I think we had that for my show.

00:01:36.340 Is it not on my show's sheet? Thank you. You have to assume it was just glorifying and very

00:01:46.460 positive. It was. It was beautiful. Other than the round booing, it was really warm and fuzzy. Yeah,

00:01:54.080 it was quite ugly. It was quite ugly. This is the GOP convention in Utah. And everybody knows how I

00:02:04.200 feel about Mitt Romney. You love him, right? Big fan. You adore him. Adore him. Love him. He's a

00:02:09.120 Romney head. People call him a Romney head. He tours the country with other Romney heads. Yeah. You

00:02:14.980 guys did that really good comedy tour together in 15. We loved it. We loved it. We loved it. Okay. So let

00:02:21.340 me explain because I was seeing all kinds of articles about this and why Romney was booed and how rude it

00:02:31.020 was and everything else. Um, for, for, for Mitt Romney and the GOP and everybody else to understand

00:02:39.180 what happened. Mitt Romney, I'm sure is a nice guy. I've met him several times and he's always been

00:02:48.560 kind and gracious, but I find him phony after, you know, after meeting with somebody for a few times,

00:02:56.880 uh, when they're not a Senator, uh, when they're not a Senator, you can kind of see if they're phony

00:03:02.440 or not as a politician, he's a politician. Now, normally that's not a bad thing, but we're at a time

00:03:10.180 where people don't want politicians. Politicians are perceived as saying one thing, uh, but they

00:03:16.700 actually believe and do something else. And they generally don't like the people who vote for them.

00:03:23.980 They're elitists. Romney said, look, I I'm, I'm a Republican as they were still booing him. I'm a

00:03:29.920 Republican. Yes. That's kind of the problem. It, I know this is a Republican convention, but that's

00:03:36.100 kind of the problem. What does that mean? And so the, the GOP in Utah should wake up. You either have

00:03:45.360 to split, which would be a horrible mistake, uh, or you need to recognize that the majority of people

00:03:52.800 that were there that were booing, they're kind of booing the GOP as well. And here's why.

00:04:00.240 What does the GOP stand for? Does it stand for the constitution? Because the constitution,

00:04:06.600 small government trust the people to do it themselves. America first without being bigoted.

00:04:12.820 That's what we thought Republicans stood for, but we don't believe that anymore.

00:04:17.920 However, at the same time, you notice they didn't boo Mike Lee. Mike Lee got a standing ovation and

00:04:27.820 no booze. Why is that? Mike Lee is not a flamethrower. He's not a bomb thrower. He's not,

00:04:38.140 he's doesn't make fun of people. He's not like Donald Trump. Cause that's what they try to say

00:04:42.760 about anybody who disagrees with people like Mitt Romney. He's Donald Trump. No, Mike is

00:04:48.820 constitutional. Even when it goes against what he might wish could be true. See Mitt and GOP

00:04:57.100 supporters, Mitt has spent the last few years calling half the country bigots, racists, and

00:05:03.420 extremists. And, and he may not have used those words, but through his actions and his lack of

00:05:10.640 defense and cooperation with the senior Senator from his state, Mike Lee, he demonstrates it all

00:05:17.680 the time. And quite honestly, the GOP, half of it is tired of being called a racist, a bigot,

00:05:26.380 or an extremist for believing in the constitution of the United States of America. That's it.

00:05:34.800 That's all that was about. You disagree, patter? No. What are your thoughts? I agree completely. I,

00:05:42.120 and that's, that's the right forum for what they did with Mitt Romney. They let him know at a

00:05:46.920 political convention, what they thought of him. I don't like it when people on the right are doing

00:05:53.080 that to him in public. That's the, you know, that's the Maxine Waters, uh, cost him on the

00:05:59.020 streets, getting them in their face. And then when he got on that plane and people were yelling

00:06:02.780 traitor at him, I don't like that. That's wrong. That's wrong. I don't like that either.

00:06:07.540 When he's on the stage, I mean, but he's on the stage at the Republican convention. That's the

00:06:12.040 time to let him know how you feel about him. So, and I, and I, it made me uncomfortable. I didn't

00:06:17.480 like it, but that is the appropriate time to let him know exactly what you feel that and at the

00:06:23.220 election booth, right? When he's in public, you just don't say anything. I mean, we have to remember

00:06:28.560 what our moms all taught us. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

00:06:34.320 Now there is an exception unless you do my job because this would be a one minute show, maybe a

00:06:40.620 20 second show every day. Yes. Uh, uh, so you, uh, you know, we have to have common decency and that

00:06:49.900 is the thing that I think, again, Mike Lee represents common decency. I mean, he can work

00:06:57.000 with anyone. He can work with Bernie Sanders. How is he defined as a extremist and, and make no mistake

00:07:04.760 in Utah, that's half of what the GOP calls him. They call him and believe he's an extremist, uh, you

00:07:13.460 know, because they're still following an Orrin Hatch kind of philosophy. The Mike Leavitt,

00:07:18.620 Orrin Hatch people are, are terrible to Mike Lee. Uh, they treat him like garbage. Yes. Yes. He's 1.00

00:07:27.160 treated by garbage by surprisingly a lot of very powerful people in Utah. Um, let me, uh, let me 0.96

00:07:34.180 play the audio. You have the audio now. Here he is walking out on stage.

00:07:40.460 Now, you know me as a person who, uh, who says what he thinks and I don't hide the fact that I

00:07:45.760 wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues. And I'm also no fan. Wow.

00:07:52.920 I mean, this is just a bloodbath.

00:08:03.780 Aren't you embarrassed?

00:08:06.300 Aren't you embarrassed?

00:08:08.620 He's saying all the wrong things.

00:08:10.640 Yeah, he is.

00:08:11.820 Stop, stop. He's saying all the wrong things. He's antagonizing the crowd. Instead of saying,

00:08:17.940 look, I, I take it, I wasn't ashamed, but I take it. I know a lot of people are upset

00:08:23.060 at me. I get it. I get it. Go ahead. Let it out. Go ahead. He's like, aren't you embarrassed?

00:08:30.460 What? I mean, it's just the elitist, uh, speaking. I think you get, you, you take it like a man

00:08:43.120 on stage, you take it like a man and you say, I, I, I understand. I get it.

00:08:50.340 I will say this in his defense. He had to know that was coming and he went anyway and

00:08:55.320 he spoke anyway. And so, you know, he had to, he kind of had to, but, but he faced it

00:09:01.180 and took it. And, uh, how did that decision work out for him?

00:09:05.540 Yeah. Not well, maybe that was not very well, you know, he had to, maybe he didn't have to,

00:09:10.400 but there's another side to it. Yeah. I mean, he still really believes he still really believes

00:09:16.320 that he's, you know, uh, he he's on the right side and you know, maybe he is, I don't think so,

00:09:22.000 but maybe he is. He still believes he's on the right side of, of, of history. Uh, and what is

00:09:28.160 coming? He's still playing a long game. He thinks that, you know, people like people who follow Mike

00:09:34.940 Lee are extremists and are going to fall by the wayside. I don't think so. I mean,

00:09:40.400 I just don't think so. Um, you know, we believe we're the, the hope of freedom for the future.

00:09:48.560 And I don't see anybody on this side sitting down. Uh, and, but he, you know, he, he believes

00:09:56.140 that and what is what makes him even more infuriating? I, I, I wonder how he is going

00:10:02.820 to fare in his next election. I mean, I don't think people are going to forget this. Oh, I think

00:10:07.520 he loses that people will forget it. Yeah. I think he'll lose. Yeah, I do not to a Democrat

00:10:12.060 maybe, but he'll be primary and lose to a Republican. Uh, that's what I think a Republican

00:10:18.580 or a constitutionalist. Well, yeah, I mean, somebody on the right. Yeah. But Mitt Romney's

00:10:24.740 on the right. So not really. I mean, somebody right. He was, he was the guy who said on that

00:10:31.620 very stage, look, I've been the Republican my whole life. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. A Republican

00:10:37.880 who was pro-abortion for some time in the nineties, if we would remember correctly, a Republican

00:10:43.920 who had Romney care instituted in Massachusetts. That's not much of a Republican. I mean, that's

00:10:51.280 really the main problem with Mitt Romney from the beginning is that he's not really on the

00:10:56.400 right. He's not really terribly conservative. No, no, no. Hard to believe. And he started,

00:11:04.180 he really kind of started out, uh, where Orrin Hatch was. And at least Orrin Hatch started

00:11:10.080 out as a staunch conservative. I mean, he was Mike Lee for a while. Uh, and, uh, I mean,

00:11:17.540 not quite as good, but he was Mike Lee for a while and then just went to hell in a handbasket.

00:11:21.420 And it was the system that corrupted and the system is corrupting, uh, a lot of the GOP

00:11:29.380 all around the country. And I was, uh, you know, I kind of, I guess maybe this is a theme,

00:11:35.400 Pat. We were talking earlier. I, I, as a human being, I feel bad for Ted Wheeler intellectually.

00:11:42.700 I don't really feel bad for Ted Wheeler. No, he brought this on himself. I mean, he, he condoned

00:11:47.900 it for a year and now all of a sudden you've had enough. Oh, okay. Well, it's kind of late

00:11:53.000 in the game for that. Yeah. And I kind of feel the same way about Mitt Romney. You know what

00:11:57.920 I mean? Yep. I kind of, you know, he brought this on himself and intellectually, I have no

00:12:04.060 sympathy, but as a, as a compassionate human being, oof, that was a, that was a tough one.

00:12:09.440 I wonder if Mike Lee wondered what his ovation would be. Yeah. I'm sure he had some trepidation,

00:12:16.600 but I wouldn't want to, could you imagine being the next speaker that is, you know, it's kind

00:12:24.100 of, in some ways it couldn't get worse than that, but in other ways you have no idea what's

00:12:31.740 coming.

00:12:35.100 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:12:37.600 I just want to, I want to read this story to you and show you the power of one, the power

00:12:45.920 of one parent getting involved in calling another parent and another parent calling another parent

00:12:51.460 and that parent calling another parent. It is the power of one. All of a sudden you have

00:12:55.300 a tidal wave on your hands. This happened this weekend in South Lake, Texas. It's a small

00:13:03.300 little town, conservative town, uh, and, um, affluent. The, the test scores show there

00:13:10.640 is, and this is almost unheard of, if not unheard of entirely, uh, in America or any nation

00:13:18.940 where blacks and whites perform equally as well on all of their final tests. That doesn't 0.99

00:13:27.240 happen. Well, they wanted to transform, uh, the school and make it, make the school have

00:13:36.720 more diversity. Now listen to the way this is written. Supporters of local candidates who

00:13:41.320 oppose a school diversity plan rallied in South Lake, Texas over the weekend. Nine months after

00:13:49.240 officials in the affluent Carroll independent school district introduced a proposal to combat

00:13:55.180 racial and cultural intolerance in schools. Voters delivered a resounding victory on Saturday.

00:14:03.580 Okay. So what was it? I mean, cause it sounds nice, right? They just, well, all they want

00:14:08.280 is just a peaceful school. One that, you know, isn't racist and, uh, you know, admires cultural

00:14:15.260 differences. No, that's not exactly what they wanted. In fact, the school board, um, put a

00:14:21.360 presentation to game, uh, to, uh, into play, uh, for a teacher's retreat, they were given

00:14:28.920 a preview of the kind of instruction they would be expected to oversee and carry out in a cultural

00:14:34.160 competency regime. In the slides presented in this retreat, this is what caused the havoc

00:14:41.880 in, in South Lake teachers and administrators who choose to treat students, parents, and colleagues

00:14:48.060 equally, uh, equally regardless of their skin color or ethnicity were accused of cultural

00:14:54.300 blindness, a state which in which differences are ignored and one proceeds as if differences

00:15:01.500 don't exist. White privilege is being able to navigate daily life in the American culture

00:15:08.080 without having to think about race. The administrators were encouraged to construct a white identity

00:15:15.580 discussing what does it mean to you to be white and whiteness as well as naming some characteristics

00:15:22.000 of white culture. Uh, then they went into white fragility. Uh, the presentation then went in 0.83

00:15:29.780 against stereotyping, which says happens when you generalize about a person while ignoring the

00:15:34.960 presence of individual differences. This is how bad it has to get before most white people notice

00:15:40.320 burning crosses, swastikas, clan, the N word. Well, needless to say, the teachers went back and they

00:15:48.420 were like, ah, I don't agree with this. Now this is in Texas. So a few teachers did object. Are those

00:15:56.420 teachers in your school district? Cause I can guarantee you this is happening in your school. I guarantee you.

00:16:06.580 So there's all of this stuff, uh, about systematic, uh, racist and racism and how you can't look at

00:16:19.160 people all the same and treat them the same. It's treating people the same and looking at the, at them

00:16:25.080 no differently. That has led to the good test scores. Uh, I believe in Southlake, one of the best schools and

00:16:33.680 school systems in the country. So what happened over the weekend in an unusually bitter campaign

00:16:42.640 that echoed a growing national divide over how to address issues of race, gender, and sexuality in

00:16:48.680 schools, candidates in the city of Southlake were split between two camps. Those who supported new

00:16:54.880 diversity and including inclusion training requirements for Carroll students and teachers

00:16:59.360 and those backed by political action committees that were formed last year to defeat the plan.

00:17:07.000 Holy cow. This paper is out of touch, right? Oh, it's NBC news. The local NBC candidates and

00:17:16.400 voters on both sides described the election as a fork in the road for South, uh, Southlake,

00:17:21.360 a wealthy suburb, 30 miles Northwest of Dallas. So goes Southlake, a local conservative commentator

00:17:27.300 warned in the weeks leading up to the election. So goes the rest of America. In the end, the

00:17:33.040 contest was not close candidates backed by the conservative, uh, family, uh, pack, which

00:17:40.380 has raised more than $200,000 since last summer. Notice all of a sudden it's about money and

00:17:45.880 an evil pack. Uh, those, uh, those, those, those people did really well. In fact, uh, Randy

00:17:52.300 Robbins received 70%, 70.4% of the vote, his opponent, Sabrina Hakami received 29% of the

00:18:03.180 vote in the city council place five election. Amy Torres Lep, uh, had 70% of the vote. Her 0.98

00:18:10.860 opponent had 30 in the CISD school board race. Number four, Cameron cam Bryant received almost

00:18:19.500 70% of the vote. His opponent 31% of the vote in the school board place. Number five, Hannah

00:18:26.200 Smith received almost 70% of the vote. Her opponent, Ed Hernandez, 30% of the vote. Now

00:18:32.740 here's what's interesting. Hannah Smith, she's a radical. I don't know if you know this, Stu,

00:18:38.160 you pay attention to Southlake politics. I'm not sure, but, but Hannah Smith, oh, she's a radical. 1.00

00:18:43.360 She's a Southlake lawyer who clerked for Supreme court justice, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

00:18:50.660 There's a bad recipe for you. Yeah. There's a really bad, this she's, she won against Ed 0.99

00:18:57.480 Hernandez, a business consultant. She's now on the school board. Oh my gosh. I might transfer my

00:19:04.580 kids to, to, to, I might move to Southlake so I can get my kids into that. Can you imagine

00:19:10.380 having her on the school board? That's fantastic. The reason why I want to bring this up is because

00:19:17.100 the parents all stood together. They stood up, they were against the press. They were called names.

00:19:26.080 Smith has received all kinds of threats. I mean, it's, it's been really, really bad,

00:19:32.780 but they won and 70% came out against, because once you explain what they're teaching,

00:19:41.260 nobody is for that. And this, I can guarantee you this or forms of this are happening in your school

00:19:50.640 right now, because this is a national movement and it must be taken out of your school or you kids

00:19:59.020 have absolutely no chance of survival. Yeah. The best thing that happened in this situation too,

00:20:04.160 was all the national media attention. I mean, once people recognize what was going on there,

00:20:09.320 it was easy to defeat, but it needs to be called out. You know, like Demi Lovato, the singer,

00:20:14.220 we brought this up a couple of weeks ago, seemed to have like some, she went to high school in Texas

00:20:18.280 and seemed to have some sort of high school rivalry with this town. And so posted the videos of these

00:20:23.500 parents just like saying like, yeah, I kind of don't want my kids to like think about skin color

00:20:27.880 all the time. You know, these sort of really rational requests from the parents, but they were

00:20:33.180 all edited to kind of made, make them look like they were racists. And she tweeted it out to her

00:20:37.900 multiple millions of followers and it became kind of this big story and all this back and forth went

00:20:43.720 on. And, and, and that, that guaranteed the, the defeat of critical race theory in this town.

00:20:50.160 Yeah. Well, that, and honestly, the school board members that voted illegally against the parents

00:20:59.120 wishes, they, they did not have a hearing on critical race theory because they knew how it

00:21:03.640 would go. So they've, they voted privately in secret to put it all in. Yeah. And once that was found

00:21:12.980 out, I mean, two of them went to jail. It all goes back to, to this, this ridiculous, several years ago, 0.77

00:21:18.480 there was a video of a couple of students who were singing along with a rap song and said,

00:21:22.060 said the words in the rap song instead of, I guess, you know, because the N word doesn't rhyme

00:21:27.000 with the word it was rhyming with. So apparently they, and I don't know the whole history that they

00:21:31.660 may have been terrible videos. I don't know, but like a couple of students doing something dumb 0.88

00:21:35.320 and the town felt like, Oh, well, our reputation is on the line. We need to take steps to show that

00:21:41.200 we're aligned with Ibram Kendi for some reason. So, you know, this sort of stuff goes on around the

00:21:46.160 country. And if it doesn't get pop stars tweeting about it and NBC news writing giant articles,

00:21:52.240 trashing the town is racist. If those things don't happen, this, a lot of this stuff just slides by

00:21:56.740 parents because you know, they don't, they do it behind closed doors. And unless a lot of attention

00:22:01.460 gets, you know, uh, you know, put on it, they don't know. I really would like to talk to, um,

00:22:08.180 the candidate running for the Beaverton school board, uh, in Portland, Oregon. She is standing

00:22:15.260 up against critical race theory and comprehensive sexuality education. It might not go the same way

00:22:22.840 as it did in Texas. It'll be fascinating to watch. Her name is Jeanette Schade or Schade S C H A D E

00:22:32.300 shod. Um, and she is running by herself. Uh, you know, the school district says they're just doing

00:22:40.360 culturally relevant teaching. Uh huh. CRT critical race theory, critical race theory, culturally relevant

00:22:50.060 teaching. No, no. So if you call and say, are you doing CRT? Yes. Yes, we are. But ours is ours is

00:22:56.100 culturally relevant teaching. Oh my gosh. These schools are just getting completely out of

00:23:02.340 control, completely out of control. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And we really want

00:23:10.600 to thank you for listening. By the way, another reason to be proud, um, SpaceX, the crew has returned

00:23:25.160 to earth. Do we have the splashdown, uh, uh, video and audio here that we could play?

00:23:33.260 It's there. It is. There's the splashdown of SpaceX, a private company going out in space.

00:23:44.800 Okay. So now a private company has done this, but let me show you what the government of China has

00:23:50.600 done. Please wait. What's about to fall from space? A bit of bad news for you. Some bad outer space

00:23:57.220 news. It's kind of important. This week, China launched a rocket for its space station and that

00:24:02.500 went great. The rocket is successfully in orbit, but the launcher, which is the size of a 10 story

00:24:07.260 building accidentally also went into orbit and is, um, descending back to earth and no one knows where

00:24:14.480 it's going to crash or what it's going to crash into. Yeah. Well, that's not quite true. And so

00:24:19.500 this is, so this is the thing it was supposed to go up. It was, it's a booster. And, uh, like he said,

00:24:26.540 size of a 10 story building, uh, it was supposed to go up into space, but they miscalculated a little

00:24:32.880 bit. So it is technically in space in lower earth orbit, but it's decaying now and they didn't get it up

00:24:40.600 far enough. So it's going to come back to earth soon and rest assured the Chinese are all over it. 1.00

00:24:47.620 They said, we can't predict when, and we can't predict where it's going to hit, but we can rule a

00:24:55.040 few places out. We believe it won't hit any place North of New York and any place more Southern than New

00:25:06.160 Zealand. So, so no Antarctica, so no Antarctica ruled out, no Alaska, no Canada. Uh, of course

00:25:17.580 their calculations were wrong in the first place. So I hadn't exactly been a banner year for Chinese

00:25:23.920 science. I would say, uh, there's been a couple of issues people may have noticed that have cropped up

00:25:28.980 from China over the past, uh, year. Yeah. If you follow, you have to follow some of the scientific

00:25:34.480 journals that I follow. I know that this is a science based show and well, we're known for

00:25:39.660 science on this program. Many awards. I being a doctor. Yeah. And we did a, if you missed it,

00:25:44.860 a 47 part series last year on the inner workings of Chinese science, won multiple awards. Some people

00:25:51.600 may have missed that series and don't know. Yeah. It's unfortunate, but kind of a crap heap year when

00:25:57.160 it comes to their scientists kind of don't want to listen to them about anything right now.

00:26:00.220 Yeah. I know. You know, I think the 10 story building that's going to be coming down to earth

00:26:06.220 in flames, uh, that could just, you know, land on a neighborhood, you know, might not be the best PR

00:26:13.700 thing for the, uh, Chinese space agency. I guarantee it will kill a lot less people than the last mistake

00:26:19.480 they made. That one I'm pretty sure of. Well, I mean, unless it hits New York, remember it says

00:26:29.380 no one, uh, no one, uh, North of New York. So that includes New York 10 story building falling from

00:26:36.340 space. How many blocks are this serious? How many blocks could that take out that thing coming at an

00:26:42.820 angle? Imagine it's coming down like, you know, Broadway, it would take how many, what kind of

00:26:49.880 destruction would it do? And would Biden even say anything? It would be really interesting to be

00:26:58.600 completely ignored. You know what? You know what? Now I'm really pissed. Now I'm, now I'm really pissed.

00:27:06.220 I am going to tell Hunter that he should eventually get, get out of that Chinese, you know, space firm 1.00

00:27:13.960 thing that he's doing that. I have no idea what he's even doing. Do you know, it's a hundred days

00:27:17.620 in, he promised he would get rid of all of his shares, uh, in China still hasn't done it.

00:27:23.920 Stunning. I'm stunned. Yeah, I know. I know. I can't wait for the, it's not really a real thing.

00:27:28.220 Can't wait for the coming headlines of Republican Republicans pounce on Joe Biden, not commenting

00:27:33.820 on half of New York City being wiped out by a Chinese building falling from space. 0.73
