On today's episode of the Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck is joined by CNN's own Jason Batrill to discuss the Iran situation, and why we should all be mad at our own government for the way they treat us.
00:02:01.120We tell ourselves these things because we're busy, because we don't want to be dramatic, but also because we think we can power through the pain and just keep running into that wall every day.
00:02:14.060And every time we try something new, it doesn't usually work until one day you realize the pain has become your life, and avoiding certain movements, giving up activities, turning down invites, it all hits you.
00:03:14.060You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:03:16.020We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:22.020We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:27.260But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:03:29.680Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck Podcast?
00:03:33.420Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:04:40.860Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis.
00:04:51.020Congressman, I mean, where are you on?
00:05:00.040The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.
00:05:13.820If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.
00:07:36.100It is the stress that I have to deal with every single day because of people like Jamal Bowman, who insist on calling me a racist, or a sexist, or anti-Semitic, or Islamophobic.
00:08:21.520Sorry, I thought I was having a heart attack there for a second because I was called bad names.
00:08:29.760Sticks and stones may break your bones, my mother told me, but names will never hurt you.
00:08:34.220She doesn't know these names that I have been called directly and indirectly for years.
00:08:41.260Sure, it may not break my bones, but they carve my face up all the time because of the skin cancer caused by people calling me anti-Semitic and strangely Islamophobic.
00:08:56.600Usually at the same time, and my face just starts to bubble up like it's just one giant Petri dish of cancer.
00:09:22.320You have no idea what people like him go through.
00:09:24.660Let me, may I just say, may I just say, and this is not Christ-like for me to say, so I probably shouldn't say, but I'm going to say, I'm making a decision.
00:10:32.660My parents embarrassed me, not to the extent that your parents have embarrassed you.
00:10:38.500That loss was, I mean, the whole campaign, I could see you could be crippled in bed with the shame that came with, oh, no, it's because you voted for her and then she lost.
00:10:52.680Yeah, I really don't have any sympathy for you.
00:10:54.220You know how many times I've wanted things and it didn't work out?
00:10:56.760And, you know, I really don't use the word triggered because I think that's for and I also really don't use the word traumatized.
00:11:09.160I mean, unless if you were a hostage, okay, you know, I was in a Liam Neeson movie and he made me believe I was actually a hostage and I had to wait an hour and a half before he came in and rescued me.
00:12:06.080Now, I might be traumatizing you again because I'm, of course, a racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic, and Islamophobic, fat, fat, fatty, riddled with skin cancer.
00:12:22.760So, I just wanted to start the show just getting that off my chest because it's, you know, it's Friday and we just can't, we can't carry these things around.
00:12:47.080Yeah, my question is, is that this has been a weird week listening to you because for years you've been warning us about traditionalism, and you've used Bannon as a perfect example.
00:12:58.840And I remember watching one of your one-on-one podcasts with a guy who wrote books about traditionalism and how it could infiltrate American churches and Bannon.
00:13:07.220And then you, so you warned us about this kind of level of deception and used Bannon as an example, and then you had him on the show this week.
00:13:16.980And this is the first time listening to you where I really felt that it's bordered on wasting our time or not really being completely honest with the audience or doing an about-faced.
00:13:30.540So, I want to know what changed and why.
00:13:35.780John, this is the best question I have had in a very long time, and it is my fault that you feel confused because I think I mentioned it the next day, and I should have started with this.
00:13:49.460Steve Bannon and I disagree on an awful lot of things, and you, as a smart listener and one who has been loyal for a long time, have heard me warn about Steve Bannon,
00:13:59.960and I have a lot of things to talk about with Steve Bannon, and, you know, his friend in Russia is one of those things.
00:14:10.880However, and this is what I should have started the conversation with, exactly what I just said to you, and then this.
00:14:18.740However, we are now eating each other alive.
00:14:23.660Do you notice the time that I had him on?
00:14:26.240It was during the week when we have Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz tearing each other apart.
00:14:34.260When we have our conservatives killing each other, and while I do believe that Steve plays a role in traditionalism, etc., etc., and that is extraordinarily dangerous,
00:14:49.140I also, and my fault, my problem was not pointing that out to you when I had him on and saying, I still believe those things.
00:14:59.220However, what I think is important today is to demonstrate that two people who strongly disagree with each other on certain things both understand we cannot continue to separate ourselves.
00:15:16.200I believe that this is not done just by people who disagree with each other on certain things like, you know what, I'm going to take on Ted Cruz.
00:15:27.780You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take on Tucker Carlson.
00:15:30.900I don't agree with either one of those at times, and I like both of those guys at times, and I have pretty strong opinions on both of them that might surprise you.
00:15:41.480However, when I saw that, when I saw Elon Musk and Donald Trump take each other on, I thought to myself, that's the end of the republic.
00:15:53.680When I see Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz take each other on like that, that's the end of the republic.
00:16:00.540Because if we continue to divide ourselves to a place to where we can't have a conversation, it's you're all of this or you're all of that, then we are doomed.
00:16:14.400And so what I should have said, and I don't know if it would have made it better for you, but what I should have said was, here is a guy I have real disagreements on, and I have talked about for a very long time.
00:16:28.760And I'm having him on this week because we must begin to have conversations.
00:16:35.000And off the air, Steve and I have had very difficult conversations.
