you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:02:01.720
so um first of all let me thank you for listening to this program let me thank you
00:02:10.240
for making the blaze the largest uh center uh right streaming platform in the world thank you
00:02:19.760
you have built quite a network as i used to say about 10 years ago this is the network that you
00:02:26.440
are building and we are building it to last uh i want to make sure that you understand uh what is
00:02:34.300
what is happening if you're watching us on youtube or uh roku or the blaze or pluto
00:02:41.560
we just switched this is actually really good news uh we just brought our master control in-house
00:02:49.220
now we have control rooms here for all of our studios that produce the shows but then
00:02:54.820
we have because it's so wildly expensive we have shipped our master control which does
00:03:01.580
all the technical stuff to a um a new york company so it comes from our studios here
00:03:09.360
and then goes to a new york company they encode it and then it comes back and we put it online
00:03:14.600
the um i've not liked this none of us have uh because we have all of these third-party vendors and we
00:03:23.920
don't trust anybody anymore our goal is to be able to be completely independent that is
00:03:30.740
a lofty goal uh we couldn't do half of the things when we started because it didn't even exist
00:03:38.680
remember the blaze was a streaming service when the only other streaming service was major league
00:03:46.220
baseball netflix hbo all of that stuff was not a streaming service at the time we were number two
00:03:55.240
behind major league baseball so we are building as quickly as i can uh and as we can some were watching
00:04:05.440
the uh the tv show last night or the radio show and they were annoyed that during the ad breaks we had
00:04:12.800
a loop of our logo with some stupid music and people were you know like hey what's going on uh we want
00:04:20.440
you to know we're doing and moving as fast as we can but yesterday was the first time that we were
00:04:26.400
on our own in-house master control and uh that is something really big uh for us and really big for you
00:04:38.960
we're doing everything we can we're investing your you know 9.99 or 5.99 or whatever it is the discount
00:04:46.920
you got it for um we're investing that money and we're investing it to make sure this is the alamo
00:04:54.140
we will be the last person standing we're not going anywhere so thanks for your patience don't worry
00:05:02.580
everything is fine we are just bringing everything in house to make sure nothing stands in the way
00:05:10.520
between you and the truth uh now there is something that is standing uh between you and the truth and
00:05:20.280
that is mainstream corporate journalism there is a story in the new york times today racist and violent
00:05:28.780
ideas jump from the web's fringes to mainstream sites according to the new york times now this is
00:05:36.440
all about replacement the replacement theory that we have talked about replacement theory is of course
00:05:43.620
the theory that whites are in trouble jews will not replace us it's basically that it actually it
00:05:51.340
started with the czar yeah and the protocols of uh of zion yeah but yeah i mean that's kind of if
00:05:58.540
you remember the the charlottesville tiki torch guys that is the theory behind that it's not something
00:06:03.760
that of course no conservative that i know of believes i mean that that that entire movement
00:06:09.400
believes in all sorts of things that guarantee you don't including uh abortion and including um you
00:06:15.160
know universal health care and all sorts of things of the constitution right exactly so i mean it's it
00:06:20.200
has no connection whatsoever to anything that we talk about on a daily basis okay so the new york times
00:06:25.920
did an extensive look into internet searches and memes and all kinds of things about radical ideas
00:06:36.480
well we knew this story was coming out um i think last thursday no i think it was last friday
00:06:45.320
uh we knew it was coming out because we got this text message from stewart thompson a writer at the
00:06:53.200
new york times uh hi thanks for getting in touch i'm trying to reach somebody at the blaze for a story
00:06:58.540
that mentions them are you the right person for that i could also use a comment on another bit of
00:07:03.400
the story that mentions a report citing glenn beck i can send more if you're the right person
00:07:08.800
we responded sure go ahead send both topics i'll make sure they get to the right people
00:07:14.320
then stewart thompson the writer for the new york times uh sent us something uh it says um here's the
00:07:22.540
story that we mentioned in the report which reviews 1096 posts on facebook about the great replacement
00:07:29.920
and related themes finding that glenn beck and pages affiliated with the blaze posted most frequently
00:07:37.580
on the set now we found that amazing shocking because we never talked about it ever until the
00:07:47.640
shooter put it in his manifest um another part of the story we conducted a reverse image search
00:07:53.800
analysis on a 20 page a 28 page section of the buffalo shooters manifesto to see where the charts and
00:08:00.820
images appeared online we found that one chart about uh interracial violence featured on page 21
00:08:07.500
of the manifesto also appeared on the blaze in this post let me know if there's any comment about
00:08:15.720
either of these findings happy to chat so wait one chart in this manifesto appeared on a page
00:08:26.680
affiliated with the network you're going to understand all of this here in just a second
00:08:31.200
um thanks we'll pass this on what deadline are you working with our people said uh and then he said
00:08:38.680
hey we're trying now this is at 11 14 a.m we're trying to close this out today so 4 p.m oh well it's
00:08:48.460
a friday before labor day i'm sure everybody's available to sounds like an appropriate time
00:08:53.140
absolutely would you give me 18 minutes right uh i don't think that's realistic we wrote is there
00:08:58.740
an editor i should speak with uh for more time than four hours uh sure thing uh that was just a
00:09:06.320
conservative guess that's the first thing the new york times has ever done that's conservative
00:09:10.220
that's just a conservative guess on timing let me see if there's an update when we will go
00:09:15.700
uh sounds like we're not going until tomorrow uh would a deadline of 10 a.m tomorrow be enough time
00:09:23.300
sorry for the trouble given the holiday weekend i think tuesday's more realistic but i don't know yet
00:09:28.380
can we can certainly aim for tomorrow then we are sent the links that they sent to us and so
00:09:38.320
we wrote back we think you sent us the wrong media matters link can you double check
00:09:47.820
and are you referencing the chart from this government report if so are you saying there's
00:09:55.460
an issue with us issuing it or posting it citing a government so it was a government report that we did
00:10:03.420
a story on that was not connected to shooting that he also posted on his manifest
00:10:12.180
okay it's a government chart so is the source of all the bigotry the u.s government first of all yes
00:10:21.500
but and um he said no we we didn't send you the wrong link then we wrote and said are you writing
00:10:32.900
about replacement theory or the great reset we think you might be confused
00:10:41.740
they're not uh is this i guess it was memorial day weekend was everyone else off like what i don't
00:10:50.660
know i think this might be the janitor that was writing this um but uh we didn't get a response in
00:10:56.820
fact we never heard from them again okay so they pulled the story they're not going to run the story
00:11:02.080
right no they ran the story they just they just didn't include what was it uh the uh
00:11:09.100
so basically they they confused a great replacement theory with the great reset yes because they both
00:11:16.160
have similar letters in the story we mentioned this report which reviewed 1096 posts on facebook about
00:11:23.300
the great replacement and related themes finding that glenn beck and pages affiliated with the blaze
00:11:30.120
posted most frequently well um no we posted about the great reset the name of your book so yeah you
00:11:38.400
probably did post most frequently about that right and not the great replacement in fact it's not
00:11:44.500
called the great replacement it's called replacement theory this is how stupid the people are at the
00:11:53.380
new york times they're in the midst of writing a story that they have to have finished in four hours
00:12:01.860
uh by the way the story hit today but they had to have it finished in four hours wait they had all
00:12:09.520
that time they had all that time all week to reach back out to clarify this and never did and never
00:12:14.700
did what a surprise this is yeah this is shocking this is like not even the b team is it this is that we
00:12:22.040
are down no we're on like the l team yes a giant bunch of l's not saying that they're losers no gosh
00:12:30.880
that was you didn't think of that no he didn't mean a random letter that was down the alphabet
00:12:35.760
i heard from the southern poverty law center about you stew i know what you really mean and it'll be in
00:12:42.140
the new york times or they'll write to you about how many times you've said these racist things and
00:12:48.880
then you'll point out no i never are are you talking about uh in the heat of the night that
00:12:57.560
old tv show on cbs and then you'll never hear from them again yeah it's fascinating because i mean we
00:13:03.660
really the only time we've ever mentioned great replacement theory is to mock it and say how
00:13:08.360
pathetic it is yeah uh and not to mention that the when we've talked about the great reset which is
00:13:14.260
by the way a separate topic that has nothing to do with replacement theory um we've talked about
00:13:20.260
it over and over again as a to be very careful to make sure you separate rumors and theories that
00:13:27.920
are online to what is actually true which is why you wrote a book about it so i mean i i don't know
00:13:34.660
how again no fact will get in the way of a story from these guys no no no it's easy to explain
00:13:40.360
they let media matters do their work well they get a fax from media matters and they're like look
00:13:47.940
glenn beck and either the people are so stupid at media matters that they made the same mistake or
00:13:55.580
they're so stupid at the new york times they made the mistake but one way or another it shows the new
00:14:02.660
york times is being run by media matters that's nothing new it's just nice to see it in action
00:14:10.820
and it's nice to see somebody who makes such a dumb statement and again like the new york times
00:14:16.940
they'll never take responsibility for anything they'll just disappear what email that didn't happen
00:14:24.460
what that's embarrassing this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for
00:14:33.540
listening okay i last night on my television show um i explained the three pillars of transforming
00:14:50.720
our country outside of the constitution and it is the playbook that they're using first the first
00:15:00.580
thing you have to do before you even start to build something new is destroy everything you have to destroy
00:15:06.720
the trust in every institution you have to change the history you have to change our language you have to
00:15:13.540
scare people into silence then you need to flex your muscle while you're destroying it
00:15:19.960
make sure you teach people you stay in your place i want to show you an example of this
00:15:26.800
here is uh fauci last night on fox one of the issues neil that i have i have articulated in the
00:15:34.740
past and i will in the future it's less about mandates on the plane than it is about who has the
00:15:41.700
right and the authority and the capability of making public health decisions stop this is why the
00:15:47.780
biden administration is fighting the mask mandates on the plane court said no you don't have to wear them
00:15:56.460
anymore why is biden fighting this because he wants his administration to have the control over what you
00:16:06.300
must and must not do fauci just a minute admitted it this is about control
00:16:14.240
an all government response to a crisis is the first thing you need to do after you've destroyed a nation
00:16:23.220
and they're not done yet but they will be very soon uh you'll have to build something else that it
00:16:29.420
collapses into this is a frightening um set of uh facts that i'm going to give you today because
00:16:38.800
this is what they're building okay this is the net we know it's the great reset but this is how they
00:16:48.000
capture all of it first the first pillar is an all of government response to a crisis remember
00:16:56.240
never let a serious crisis go to waste the bureaucracy the administration must be weaponized
00:17:04.460
mandates have to be rewritten they need to be prepared to proactively rebuild society from the
00:17:13.440
ashes of a crisis and that means every alphabet agency every department every commission needs to
00:17:20.660
be in lockstep toward that goal and it's happening right now in a minute i'll tell you what has happened
00:17:31.780
uh with fema no longer is fema a reactive they're a proactive they've just rewritten the entire uh goal of the
00:17:46.020
of that uh department emergencies used to be it's an emergency quick call the governor can fema go in
00:17:56.920
and help them do they need federal help yes great go down and do it now it's fema is looking for
00:18:04.260
emergencies and how can they make that emergency better proactively what can they do to make a more
00:18:14.340
more stable and equitable community did you know fema did that because they just changed their mission
00:18:27.160
so you have to have um an all of government response to whatever the crisis is second pillar
00:18:35.120
you have to have executive action outside of congress everybody knows congress uh the constitution
00:18:42.020
will slow any of this stuff down now here's what's interesting radicals outside of the government
00:18:50.120
delivered biden a full plan just a few weeks before his inauguration it included detailed steps
00:18:57.740
including multiple executive answers or actions that they pre-wrote for the administration
00:19:05.080
we've never voted for these people we've never heard of these people but those are the executive orders
00:19:13.360
that biden is executing the third pillar is international support with teeth you have to have you can't just
00:19:24.540
make it you you have to have the globe imposing this
00:19:29.280
all right so let me go to executive action outside of congress
00:19:36.920
build back better the great reset the green new deal haven't heard much talk about it have you
00:19:44.620
but it's all being done it's all being backed up by executive action it's all being done not just
00:19:53.180
through executive orders but also the president just dictates what he wants his administration to do
00:20:01.380
in december of 2020 a few weeks before biden was inaugurated a group called the center for biological
00:20:08.860
diversity approached joe biden now i don't know if it was on your ballot but i remember voting for
00:20:15.360
president and i don't ever remember seeing the center for biological diversity as one of my choices
00:20:21.060
they spearhead a collection of over 700 groups that make up some of the most radical climate activists in the country
00:20:32.320
they made their name by launching an insane amount of litigation
00:20:48.140
on the website they brag about their meeting with biden and they quote presented him with a progressive climate president action plan and model executive orders
00:21:02.880
10 essential climate actions president biden can take without congress
00:21:13.220
for him now are they running the country or is the guy we voted for running the country
