00:00:55.720
democrat that has stood up against his own party in georgia wow he had a lot to say to republicans

00:01:10.080
the economy also about the vote and just a really compelling half hour with christopher ruffo
00:01:19.160
talking about what does it mean now if donald trump does leave office what's going to happen with
00:01:26.060
critical race theory and all of these government institutions now teaching that all on today's
00:01:33.720
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:01:44.120
did you see the testimony yesterday um i think this is uh klein cut two
00:01:55.960
listen to this this is a testimony of a truck driver oh yeah uh compelling right that was picking up
00:02:03.760
ballots listen i arrived at about the same time every day the expediter scans all my seals and barcodes
00:02:14.060
and they they unload me but for the first time or but or what but from the time i first arrived in
00:02:22.400
harrisburg from beth page everything got weird none of that happened after waiting six hours i went
00:02:30.020
inside to figure out what's going on i was told to wait for the transportation supervisor this was
00:02:38.040
also weird 16 months i've been doing this i haven't ever talked to the transportation supervisor for
00:02:43.680
united states postal service i talked to an expediter i come in i see an expediter that's who i deal with
00:02:49.740
if i have an issue it's the expediter i don't deal with anyone else but the expediter
00:02:53.200
i never never talk to the united states postal services transportation supervisor let's make that
00:03:02.160
clear i have my own transportation supervisor for the company that i work for he's the one that gives
00:03:08.740
me the details he's the one that i listen to i don't listen to this guy he's the guy that would
00:03:13.320
contact my boss if he needs something ran different i like that i've never spoken with this transportation
00:03:21.300
supervisor from the united states postal service they don't speak to people like me he's a top guy
00:03:28.000
he's the kind of guy that would speak to my boss not a trucker like me the supervisor told me to drive
00:03:35.940
to told me to drive to lancaster without being unloaded in harrisburg this made no sense to me
00:03:43.940
i knew the ballots were loaded for harrisburg and that if i was to go to lancaster they would have to
00:03:53.400
off unload my ballot or those pallets in lancaster to take off lancaster stuff to put the ballots back
00:04:00.460
on the trailer to send up back to harrisburg which didn't happen by the way right the whole thing
00:04:07.300
disappeared right it was yeah it was something like 140 000 or 170 000 ballots yeah it was i mean
00:04:13.580
it's not like he was just delivering 20 pieces of mail it was hundreds of thousands of votes and
00:04:20.160
they're gone yeah nobody's nobody's nobody's found that truck nobody found i mean and he seems
00:04:26.200
credible he doesn't seem like he's a gop operative or anything else he seems like a truck driver he
00:04:32.360
seems like a regular guy yeah sure and i'd like to know i mean if we have a trucker that is listening
00:04:37.120
tell me about the transportation supervisor is he right about that i mean i'm sure i'm sure in his
00:04:43.220
own experience he is uh he certainly sounded yeah i'd like to know what what what do they do
00:04:48.460
exactly i don't i don't know i i don't know why i don't know what the significance necessarily
00:04:54.180
was of the postal guy coming and talking to him yeah i i other than he had to wait six hours and
00:05:01.440
couldn't offload it and that's the guy who had to tell him go take him someplace else
00:05:05.780
yeah i mean is it uh do we i mean he's kind of just alleging weirdness right like this is weird
00:05:13.540
well it was weird that his payload disappeared yeah too i mean that's more than weird that's like
00:05:20.040
criminal that's federal offense right when people are stealing mail off your off a mail truck that's
00:05:26.000
that's a a crime so there's one other case that is now going up to the supreme court i think and
00:05:33.060
they're going to try try to try it donald trump's people are trying to try it the the supreme court
00:05:39.640
of pennsylvania said they're not willing to overturn the will of the people and so they wouldn't even
00:05:46.840
talk about this they just dismiss this but they're taking up to the uh to the court now the guys who
00:05:53.040
were on the um philadelphia court uh or the pennsylvania court was a republican and maybe two
00:06:01.060
republicans and a uh democrat i think uh they were no no no it was a it was a bush guy and two trump
00:06:10.300
uh people appointees right and they said that they won't they won't try this case and and the case is
00:06:16.820
that some of the counties allowed you to reconcile these ballots hearing so they would cure the ballots
00:06:25.720
uh and the other counties wouldn't and so you either have to cure them all or toss those ballots out
00:06:34.480
it's not enough to uh overturn the election uh at least we don't think but it is a constitutional
00:06:42.600
question because yeah those voters were treated differently which is what 13 14th amendment um
00:06:50.920
where you have to have equal standing yeah equal standing for everybody yeah and when to use the
00:06:56.840
excuse that we're not going to overturn the will of the people if there was fraud there
00:07:00.520
it's not it's not the will of the people so what are you talking about well they're not alleging
00:07:04.720
fraud in that case right they're saying that particular case but the the secretary of state
00:07:08.500
came and said you can have basically it was a constitutional item they left it open to the
00:07:13.860
local people to right if they wanted to have people curing their ballots or not some counties did
00:07:18.420
it some counties didn't and the the case is that well they all should have been able to do it
00:07:23.120
it's i don't know if the right first of all there's not a lot of people that cure ballots it's a very
00:07:27.520
it's a very rare thing uh it's not particularly widespread like 12 000 or 20 000 something like
00:07:32.660
that um across the entire state state um but you know i don't know if the right thing to do would
00:07:38.700
be to throw out all every vote you know i wouldn't either i wouldn't think that's it's what i mean it
00:07:44.320
is but you know this is we have to be very careful on what we're doing the one thing that's not going
00:07:51.180
to happen is after all of this is solved we go in and we get rid of these voting machines and we get
00:07:56.960
something that is using like blockchain or something that's never going to happen uh we're never going
00:08:02.840
to get rid of the the ballots that are just sent out by states that's never going to happen and those
00:08:08.940
are the things that should happen even if biden wins biden should be the guy saying look we we have
00:08:16.140
got to have some federal standards states run this but we have to have some federal standards you know
00:08:23.320
when it says one side is going to overlook it means they're side by side okay you can't put them
00:08:29.660
you know into the nosebleed seats they have to be side by side and be able to discuss the ballots
00:08:35.120
as they're going you know we should put some safeguards in here so you don't have even the
00:08:39.900
question anymore yeah it's so tough i mean i sometimes like we had barry laudermilk on from
00:08:47.480
georgia and i was actually amazed about how many checks we did have i yeah i was surprised because
00:08:53.020
they he was describing the system that he helped implement in georgia which was to have uh when you
00:08:59.840
vote you get a paper ballot spit out that says your vote on it you check it yourself that's what we do
00:09:05.520
here right yeah so like it's uh and that's like i think there's a lot of layers of that that i didn't
00:09:11.200
i didn't know and then and they they point out like in pennsylvania these you know the dominion voting
00:09:16.380
machines were not in philadelphia or pittsburgh they were in 14 counties and trump won those
00:09:21.660
counties 52 of the vote um so it's it's tough because it's just if to talk about stuff that
00:09:27.880
would overturn the entire election is you'd have to find something really really widespread on this
00:09:32.140
sort of sydney powell scale where giuliani some of the stuff he's brought up has real evidence and
00:09:36.820
witnesses and things like that but it's hard to find the scale it's a difficult question and the
00:09:40.740
timeline is is working against these guys so you have december 9th yeah december 9th is the last
00:09:45.920
and that's a week from today yeah right the december 14th is when the electors actually
00:09:50.820
select yeah but it's the summer 9th is when they lock it all in right yeah they lock the electors
00:09:55.200
in so you got a week do they rip the knob off too yeah lock it in lock it in rip the knob off the
00:10:01.180
election's over uh by the way i asked to hear from truckers uh about the testimony that was given
00:10:06.920
yesterday uh by a uh by a guy is saying that the transportation supervisor at the post office
00:10:14.080
he had to wait for this guy and he said truckers don't do that let me talk to charles you're in a
00:10:19.540
you're a truck driver and you're you're on the road now yes i i am pulled over so i can talk to you okay
00:10:25.320
um i have delivered mail and i'm going to tell you you do not speak to a supervisor he is absolutely
00:10:32.380
correct you go in you speak to a guy behind the desk the expediter and the unloaders unload their mail
00:10:39.500
they're not allowed to touch anybody else's mail and i'm going to tell you the post office is one of
00:10:46.020
the most strict places you have you will ever go you have to have what's called the bill of lading
00:10:52.720
on your bill of lading you will have what is going to each particular stop you're going to
00:10:58.820
if they do not take that they have to sign it refused and then you can go on
00:11:05.420
if this was not done there is major major major major oh my god wrong stuff going on so why would
00:11:15.140
i don't think that that happened he was just told to take it someplace else no you can't do that
00:11:21.020
it's their mail they have to take it or refuse it if they if they refuse it then he's got to get
00:11:28.600
with his company and then get instructions from his company the post office cannot tell you to go
00:11:35.520
and deliver their mail to somewhere else it doesn't work that way so this part of this would have been
00:11:43.680
uh marked for harrisburg and so when he stopped in harrisburg they should have just taken theirs but
00:11:49.700
instead they said yeah take theirs to another post office and that would be another bill that would be
00:11:57.600
another charge that would be a whole nother load huh doesn't work that way all right thank you your
00:12:04.660
shipper your receiver cannot at all make that decision for you okay thank you so much i appreciate
00:12:11.260
it stay safe charles uh i will tell you this one i i don't know but these are the kinds of things
00:12:19.720
that the media should be reporting and these are the kinds of things that americans should find the
00:12:26.600
answers to quickly because if we have this happening we have to know it and correct it i found this this
00:12:35.440
witness very credible yesterday very very credible i don't know what it all means but we should look
00:12:42.500
into it you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:12:48.880
you know i i i buy a lot of stuff through auction for mercury one uh and for the history collection
00:13:03.740
so i'm on all of these auction you know mailing list and i just got one from heritage auctions
00:13:10.860
uh for purses now these are not specialty these aren't like owned by jackie o or something like that
00:13:17.980
these are just purses and they are uh relatively new gently used not by famous people and some of them
00:13:28.120
are eighty thousand dollars for an hermes purse does hermes the actual god come with the purse
00:13:37.180
what the hell is that all about i mean i could justify crazy spending like nobody's business
00:13:44.120
i cannot i can't i honestly i'm looking for an what is it with this magic purse that makes them
00:14:05.800
you are the guy who has done so much work on exposing critical race theory
00:14:19.780
um and and showing it in our own government which is really uh the shadow government kind of stuff
00:14:28.040
that you would never think that the government officials are teaching other government employees
00:14:33.660
that america is bad and systematically racist but that's exactly what's happening
00:14:40.060
uh donald trump did a lot to stop all of that when he found out it's all going back in isn't it
00:14:46.740
yeah that's that's what they're saying there's a document that circulated from a consulting firm
00:14:52.820
that was mapping out the potential biden administration's first hundred days
00:14:56.180
and the executive order banning critical race theory unfortunately was one of the first things
00:15:00.740
they're going to get rid of uh should he become president what does that mean
00:15:05.380
well i mean there's still a bit of debate you know it's uh it's a it's a very uh stressful period and
00:15:13.500
um i i always want to get all of the facts all the information um i to me personally it looks like
00:15:20.400
uh biden will become president it looks like he won uh but i'm always leaving a room open for
00:15:25.600
new facts and new evidence but what does it mean if our government now no longer is even hiding it
00:15:33.120
uh and you have an administration that is as radical as some of these people are in this administration
00:15:40.500
i think they make i think they make the obama administration look really kind of calm uh quite
00:15:46.780
frankly in the things that they could do but introducing critical race theory not only in the
00:15:53.500
government agencies but the janet yellen said that she is going to make the uh goal one of the goals
00:16:01.580
of the uh treasury department to be about equity to make sure that you know we have everybody is even
00:16:09.840
and everybody is getting a piece of this yeah and you know the treasury department is probably the
00:16:16.640
most ideologically charged agency which was a huge surprise to me but i have sources within the
00:16:22.240
treasury department that say uh there is an agency the office of women and minority inclusion
00:16:27.040
that bombards treasury employees on a daily basis with critical race theory propaganda
00:16:32.680
they're always hosting events including with former uh fellow travelers of the communist party that
00:16:39.060
denounced the united states during official treasury department events so um these activists that
00:16:47.060
in the 1960s were in the streets on the outside kind of pummeling the institutions
00:16:52.420
that they believed were too conservative uh fast forward 50 years and the same kind of people the
00:16:58.900
same ideas that were the counterculture are now in charge of our institutions and in charge of the
00:17:04.180
federal bureaucracy in particular uh it's a dangerous time and a dangerous moment and i think we have to
00:17:10.240
be one of the first uh societies in history to have a government uh that funds uh activists uh that hate the
00:17:19.320
government hate the state and hate the nation i talked to some people over in london a couple of weeks
00:17:24.620
ago and they said because i've always thought london was crazy england was crazy france was even more
00:17:30.520
crazy and uh they were talking to me about the reality on the ground over there and saying you
00:17:37.180
guys are way ahead of us you're you are you're leading the world in some of this craziness now
00:17:43.280
yeah we absolutely are no i i think what you've seen in in england and france uh and other european
00:17:50.800
countries is there's been a kind of populist right that has been able to uh take power uh to win votes
00:17:57.420
and then to exercise power uh in a way that would marginalize the opponents and marginalize the most
00:18:02.720
extreme elements and uh you see this uh throughout europe and i i think you know looking back to the
00:18:08.900
last four years uh trump's presidency i think uh unfortunately was a bit late to the game i think
00:18:16.300
these things were kind of hiding in the shadows uh were kind of sneaking around um and he didn't have
00:18:23.080
the time or wherewithal to really uh put his foot down and i think that any future republican
00:18:28.640
administration one of the first things they have to do is uh do a top to bottom a top to bottom audit
00:18:34.580
of all federal programs of all uh federal research grants and get rid of anything that is anti-american
00:18:42.440
in nature uh the president is the chief executive and and frankly should have the the freedom and and
00:18:49.940
flexibility to say we don't agree with these values we're shutting it down well it would be you would
00:18:56.860
seem part of the oath to protect and defend uh the constitution from any uh enemies foreign or domestic
00:19:04.520
but i don't think they interpret it that way uh anymore unfortunately i don't even know if they
00:19:09.600
even actually mean the words or think about the words when they're saying them you said uh media
00:19:14.760
political class street riders spent the last year ratcheting up social tensions uh you went on to say
00:19:20.040
the ballots are still being counted but joe biden is already declaring he has a mandate on systematic
00:19:24.880
racism and aoc is creating a list of people to purge from public life scratch a progressive find a
00:19:31.660
totalitarian time to push back christopher what do you mean time to push back how does the average
00:19:39.160
person do that you know you have to you have to stand up and speak out and and the thing is is
00:19:45.180
with all of these programs all of these kind of hyper progressive uh race-based justice programs
00:19:51.720
uh it's not just being fought in washington dc it's not just being fought in national elections
00:19:56.980
these things have permeated almost every school district and local government in the country
00:20:02.020
especially in the urban centers and it's up to people to find out what's happening in their local
00:20:07.620
school districts and their local government their county governments and actually organize and push
00:20:12.400
back to publicize information give documents to the press raise a raise a stink uh in public meetings
00:20:19.680
because uh this is really a fight and the left unfortunately is you know pete buddha judge's
00:20:26.720
old campaign staff established a website and a database to uh to track every trump supporter
00:20:32.840
every trump attorney every trump administration official and they're going to go around and try
00:20:38.700
to blacklist them from polite society from jobs from professorships um conservatives are really being
00:20:45.120
marginalized and the left um only understands one thing the left understands power it's part of their
00:20:51.220
theory uh in critical race theory for example they reduce all kind of positive values uh to a kind of
00:20:58.300
camouflage for naked power so uh this isn't something we can debate intellectually we actually have to
00:21:04.400
create a ballast or a counterweight uh that can push back in a form of organized power because
00:21:10.900
that's the only thing is that that's going to stop them do you think you're on that list
00:21:16.600
uh yeah i probably am on the list you know uh but uh i have uh fortunately uh great great supporters
00:21:24.680
uh great employers and uh you know i'm a man of the political right so this comes with the territory
00:21:30.800
it doesn't actually bother me to be on that kind of list um but i i think i think of a lot of people
00:21:36.500
that i that i know who are corporate employees or tech employees or or or even just uh you know average
00:21:43.940
citizens that are terrified to speak out i mean if you are a conservative republican um just voicing your
00:21:51.560
opinion right now uh is a kind of dangerous act and i i feel for all those people and i try to be
00:21:58.100
a voice for them and try to give them courage uh to stand up for what they believe in so the only time
00:22:03.880
i've experienced that is when i worked at cnn uh i have been blessed enough to work uh in companies that
00:22:10.740
you know supported both sides and since 2000 i've owned my own company so you know what am i going to do
00:22:17.060
uh out myself as some sort of hate monger um but i i can't imagine what it is is like to work in some
00:22:25.940
of these companies and it is only going to get worse with the treasury department now saying uh you know
00:22:31.920
the boardrooms have to have this certain kind of makeup etc etc they are not going on merit they are
00:22:39.480
going on gender and race uh and you know the average person i know a good friend of mine is an
00:22:46.080
architect and he said he was listening to these that you know his company come out with all these
00:22:50.340
things he didn't say anything the guy next to him didn't say anything because they would have been
00:22:56.080
you know fired but so what do they do do you just lose your job well one thing that i'm going to be
00:23:03.340
working on uh this coming year is uh to actually find some uh to establish some case law so i'm working
00:23:10.220
with some legal partners to try to find a case uh uh in corporate or in or in the government uh any
00:23:16.720
kind of employer to establish that a lot of these things are not only kind of distasteful and wrong
00:23:21.960
but they're actually illegal they're actually a violation of title seven of the civil rights act
00:23:26.300
which is kind of offering demeaning stereotypes of people based on race or sex so i think one thing we
00:23:33.980
can do in the next uh year or two is uh create a disincentive for companies to do this and you
00:23:40.080
could say hey this is now actually a legal risk uh doing this could actually be a violation of the law
00:23:45.880
and i think corporations are not doing this out of any great conviction they're doing this essentially
00:23:50.820
as an insurance policy uh to prevent activists from lambasting them as racist capitalist overlords
00:23:58.100
they're appeasing the activist left on cultural matters to protect their economic interests
00:24:03.200
uh on financial matters and and i think what we have to do is really now raise the cost of doing
00:24:09.880
this because right now they pay no cost for telling you know half or two-thirds of their employees that
00:24:15.440
they're internalized white supremacists right um but if we can establish and win a case uh to to
00:24:21.760
establish new case law that this is actually illegal i i think that will change the game and
00:24:26.760
corporations quite uh quite rapidly are you familiar with the great reset i i am you know that i've
00:24:34.340
seen the memes yeah i'm familiar with the great reset uh it is uh you know when you look at their
00:24:40.100
own words and even the words of john carrey who just last week told the economic forum that
00:24:44.800
you know as climate czar he is going to be able to really move this forward and and they asked uh if it
00:24:51.800
was if they were expecting too much from a biden administration on the great reset
00:24:55.900
and he said no it's definitely going to happen at a larger scale and more breathtaking than most
00:25:01.600
people really understand that that is uh that's a little frightening because yeah it is and i think
00:25:09.920
it really underscores the extreme importance of winning those two georgia senate races um because
00:25:16.360
if we can create a kind of a kind of safety valve or a kind of preventer um in the senate i think that
00:25:24.920
will go a long way uh towards kind of crushing any large scale changes but i mean they're always
00:25:31.180
going to hammer away at this stuff and they believe in it um a lot of these folks and and you know i
00:25:36.980
went to the you know the the schools and and and palled around with some of these folks uh earlier in my
00:25:42.460
life you know they're more comfortable in kind of international uh elite education events than they are
00:25:51.120
than they would be in youngstown ohio or memphis tennessee or stockton california and i think a lot
00:25:56.820
of it is they really have a just a limited understanding of how americans live uh what
00:26:01.880
americans value um and how life is outside of some kind of prestige global cities so i think these
00:26:10.240
things you know everyone is talking a big game during a new administration but i think as these plans
00:26:15.960
are exposed to the public as details come forward you're going to see americans putting their foot
00:26:21.380
down and say we don't want this this isn't consonant with our values uh and it has to stop
00:26:26.760
