00:00:29.660 We started off the show by talking about a former psychiatrist, Aruna Kilinani, who is

00:00:36.280 just a delightful, this is a lovely person spewing racist hatred towards white people during

00:00:42.320 his speech at Yale's Child Study Center. Also, Glenn goes into how we can fight this kind

00:00:48.220 of thing, fight against these evils in our world and continue to survive. Really important

00:00:54.360 stuff during that hour. And while on MSNBC, Dr. Fauci criticized the recent criticism of

00:01:01.380 him after his email scandal because an attack on him, he says, an attack on me is an attack

00:01:07.940 on science. Plus, we talked to David Petruzza, a historian, some great stuff on here on the

00:01:15.680 77th anniversary yesterday of D-Day. And he gives a quick history lesson of that day that

00:01:22.320 many schools aren't even teaching anymore. That and a lot more coming up on the podcast today.

00:01:35.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:39.300 So our gratitude goes to Barry Weiss for exposing this. Barry Weiss is not a conservative. She was

00:01:50.680 with the New York Times and she had to leave there because she was starting to come under attack.

00:01:56.300 And she has she's liberal. She's liberal. And so she has been speaking out against the insanity

00:02:04.620 that the left now has embraced. Pat, I know you you saw this this weekend as well. So I'd love your

00:02:13.440 comments. I'm going to play. I'm going to play some cuts here from this lecture. This is from a a

00:02:22.400 psychiatrist and psychoanalyst out of New York City. She's speaking at the Yale School of Medicine.

00:02:32.920 Now, why is this a problem? Well, if you if you have time today, just look up the T4 program.

00:02:46.760 I think it's T4 is a T4 T2. Pat, could you look that up? It is the the beginning of the extermination

00:02:55.160 camps in Germany. You see, those weren't started by guys in black uniforms. They were the exact opposite.

00:03:00.580 All of that. All of the Holocaust. It all started with people in white uniforms and scrubs. 1.00

00:03:06.620 They were the doctors and the nurses. And already the AMA has said they're putting critical race theory

00:03:13.500 into the medical profession. The guy who used to be the chief editor of the journal of AMA

00:03:22.340 has been fired. He's been there for years. Sorry, he hasn't been fired. He retired after he spoke out

00:03:30.120 and said, we can't put this into the medical field. You can't inject politics and you can't inject

00:03:35.480 CRT. He then suddenly decided to retire on his own. This is this is now being exposed. Thank goodness

00:03:44.540 by Barry Weiss. And this is only the beginning of this. If we don't all stand up here, she is

00:03:55.020 giving a lecture on the psychopathic problem of the white mind. I'm going to play these in reverse, 0.83

00:04:05.200 please, for engineering on television. Let's play. Cut. What is it? Five, please.

00:04:11.080 We need to remember that directly talking about race to white people is useless because we're at the wrong

00:04:17.360 level of conversation. Addressing racism is things that white people can see and process what we are

00:04:23.920 talking about. They can't. That's why they sound demented. They don't even know they have a mask on.

00:04:29.940 White people think it's their actual face. We need to get to know the mask. Black rage has nothing to 0.65

00:04:36.480 do with black people and everything to do with white people. 0.99

00:04:39.380 Okay. All right. So talking to white people, see, her whole idea here is that white people are 0.90

00:04:52.700 literally out of their minds. And so like CRT, there's no redemption. You can't save them because 0.99

00:05:00.840 they're so far gone. They are. Racism is part of who they are. That why talk to them? Now, I,

00:05:09.060 I want you to understand if you think someone is too far gone, that you can't even talk to them

00:05:17.360 and they are the biggest threat to your life, what options are left for you?

00:05:25.380 Can you coexist? Can you coexist with someone who wants you dead? Can you coexist with somebody who

00:05:33.920 wants you to be their slave? Can you coexist and have a neighbor that is psychotic and doesn't even 0.96

00:05:44.740 know it and is working against you and your race 24 seven? If I can't talk to them,

00:05:55.840 if there is no saving them, then I either have to put them in a camp or chain them up or kill them. 1.00

00:06:08.720 Cut for the white people are out of their minds and they have been for a long time. 1.00

00:06:15.000 So, we're not in a psychological predicament because white people feel that we are bullying 0.99

00:06:21.180 them when we bring up race. They feel that we should be thanking them for all that they have

00:06:26.600 done for us. They are confused and still are me. Can you hear me okay? Yes? Okay.

00:06:36.980 Let me restate again exactly what she said verbatim. We are now in a psychological predicament.

00:07:06.980 Because white people feel that we are bullying them when we bring up race. They feel that we should

00:07:14.480 be thanking them for all that they have done for us. I don't feel that way. Pat, do you know anyone

00:07:22.620 that feels that way? No. I've never seen it. I've never heard it. No. I have. You know who probably

00:07:29.940 does feel that way? The people in the White House who are saying that black people can't get an 0.96

00:07:38.540 accountant. They can't get a lawyer. So, those people probably do think that they should be thanked 0.97

00:07:46.460 for all that they are doing because they're saying that black people can't do it on their own.

00:07:51.540 That's not a conservative. That's not a constitutionalist. That's not the Americans that 0.90

00:07:57.560 I know. Okay. She went on. She said, they are confused, meaning white people. And so are we.

00:08:07.480 We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath. We are asking a 0.75

00:08:15.240 demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero to accept responsibility.

00:08:25.740 Now, let me flip this around. I know there are a lot of people that think, 0.82

00:08:30.900 how are we going to deal with these Marxists? Because they'll never change their mind.

00:08:36.460 How are you going to deal with Antifa? Well, Antifa, if they won't change their mind,

00:08:42.140 if they won't come and see the light of what their violence really is and what they're advocating

00:08:47.160 for, there's only really one thing you can do, and that is put them in prison because they're

00:08:54.860 breaking the law. But if they're demented and a violent predator who think they are a saint or a

00:09:02.200 superhero and they won't accept responsibility, they have to go to jail or worse. That's what she's

00:09:10.600 saying about all white people. She said, it ain't going to happen because they have five holes in 1.00

00:09:18.880 their brain. It's like banging your head against a brick wall. It's just sort of like not a good 0.69

00:09:24.740 idea. Next cut, please.

00:09:27.420 Why are white people so confused by black rage? More importantly, why do white people have so 0.70

00:09:34.180 little empathy towards black rage? In 1846, Chappelle begged white women to just shut up. 1.00

00:09:41.480 White women cannot stop talking for longer than five minutes because they think that they're here 1.00

00:09:45.700 to teach us about white privilege. And I saw the same type of thinking in all white people in the 0.72

00:09:50.820 institutions I was in. But now I got some tools. So let's just say I got a roadmap to the white mind. 0.94

00:09:57.420 Are you out of your mind? You can't see that?

00:10:05.400 You know, all I keep thinking is what you believe, so shall it be. So whatever it is that you believe,

00:10:16.240 she believes that she is surrounded by by lunatics, that all whites are lunatics and they're everywhere. 1.00

00:10:25.360 Of course, that's exactly what she'll find because she won't have a reasonable conversation 1.00

00:10:33.120 with anyone. Cut two, please.

00:10:37.100 Around five years ago, I took some action. I systemically, systematically, now I'm getting

00:10:42.200 confused. White ghosted most of my white friends. And I got rid of a couple of white 1.00

00:10:47.200 bi-pops that snuck in my throat, too. I stopped watching the news. Once I started, I couldn't stop. 0.97

00:10:53.320 I had less than one percent left. It was also public service. I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head

00:11:01.480 of any white person that got in my way, garing their body, and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away 0.99

00:11:08.740 relatively gently. It was a bad thing like that, like I did the world of f***ing quaver. 0.98

00:11:13.720 Okay, so there's two things she's saying here. The first, she said, in real life, she's gotten rid of

00:11:20.040 all of her white friends. She's gotten rid of all of her white friends. So now you are completely 0.92

00:11:29.020 isolated. You're not, you're isolating yourself. You're not allowing yourself to experience anything

00:11:36.000 different. You know, you know who did this? The Nazis did this. The Nazis isolated themselves from Jews.

00:11:41.880 Do you know the number one reason why people saved Jews in Germany? What they said verbatim?

00:11:49.640 Yes, Jews are bad, but I know this one, and this one isn't bad. They had so isolated themselves 1.00

00:11:59.660 that they had felt that all Jews were bad, except the one they knew. So if you're taking people and

00:12:08.900 you're saying I'm getting rid of all of my white friends, can you imagine if you said I'm getting 0.99

00:12:13.860 rid of all my black friends? First of all, you'd be a Klan member. This woman is saying get rid of all 0.99

00:12:20.860 of my white friends. She's part of the white Klan. She's part of this, this Klan that is against white 1.00

00:12:31.580 people. There is no difference between the, the ideology. There's no difference between what they

00:12:39.100 are advocating. So she's saying I'm getting rid of my white friends, but then she says I fantasized. 0.81

00:12:45.780 Now she's a psychoanalyst. So when you're fantasizing about something, there's a deeper meaning behind

00:12:53.180 this. There is something psychologically wrong with you. If we had somebody in school that was writing a

00:13:00.420 paper about how he fantasized on killing all of the kids in his school, we would have him banned from

00:13:08.260 school and he would be in an institution. Am I wrong on that, Pat? Any doubt? No doubt at all. 0.81

00:13:16.640 No doubt. If I said on the air, I have a fantasy of killing X, Y, or Z, and, and it was part of my 0.99

00:13:26.500 rhetoric because these people are so dangerous. Whoever these people are, these people are so 0.60

00:13:32.820 dangerous. They're insane. They have to be stopped. There's no dealing with them. I have this fantasy. 1.00

00:13:38.520 I would lose my job rightfully. So she said she has a fantasy where she unloads a revolver

00:13:49.820 into the head of any white person that got in her way, then burying them, wiping off her hands 0.99

00:14:00.080 with a bounce in her step because she had done the people of the world a favor. 0.80

00:14:08.400 Again, this is a lecture from the Yale School of Medicine, the Child Psychology Department.

00:14:20.020 One more clip and then I'm going to break. 0.99

00:14:50.020 One time I got angry around race, this white **** called me psychotic. She told me that the problem 0.99

00:14:55.980 was that I was, quote, too smart and that I either had to be psychic or psychotic. Her

00:15:02.020 interpretations had nothing to do with me. Psychoanalysis was used as a weapon on me to

00:15:07.440 have aspects of her mind, a projection which I'll unpack. She'd attack me through racist

00:15:12.960 interpretations and then make my anger, quote, the problem. I spent years unpacking her racism

00:15:19.300 to her when she charged me cash money for years and then she'd attempt to, quote, teach

00:15:23.940 me because she had concern about my anger. I couldn't get her to shut the **** up. This 0.99

00:15:30.320 is the cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life as they suck these 1.00

00:15:34.580 rye. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil. 1.00

00:15:41.480 Okay, so there's a couple of things that we have to do. And one of them is not be enraged. 0.99

00:15:47.800 And I know it's really hard. You know, you have nobody is talking about the the meeting

00:15:54.840 on Black Wall Street that happened last week where one of the speakers is that fact, several

00:16:01.520 of the speakers echoed these. But we must fight on every front to achieve to achieve redress

00:16:07.980 and reparations and the atrocities committed upon the Tulsa massacre descendants. We must intensify

00:16:13.960 the fight to for representation for reparations for 40 million blacks still affected by racism,

00:16:20.220 inequality, wealth, disparity, police brutality and the like. It is time for us to kill everything 0.99

00:16:30.040 white in sight. We are pushing death to white supremacy, death to capitalism, death to imperialism, 1.00

00:16:37.900 death to fascism. We're pushing for an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a head for a head 0.99

00:16:43.400 and a life for a life. Okay. Nobody's talking about that. That happened last week. It's white 1.00

00:16:50.520 supremacy that is the biggest threat to America. You know that not to be true. First thing you have 0.97

00:16:57.520 to do is not be enraged by it because anger. Give me Yoda, Pat, will you? On anger. Oof. He's so clear.

00:17:07.140 Anger. Anger leads to fear. No. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to fear. Fear leads to suffering.

00:17:17.140 Or something to that effect. No. Fear. Fear leads to anger. Yeah. So start there. Fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering. Yes. Yes. Okay. No. So. Yes. Um, no. So we cannot be angry. Um, but we have to take a stand.

00:17:41.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:56.720 I was, um, I'm up at our ranch, which is high up in the mountains in a town of about 500 people on one side. And, well, I don't know, maybe a thousand people on the other side. And, um,

00:18:09.560 we pick this for a reason, you know, people are looking for, where can I live? Where can I live? We pick this area for a reason because, uh, because they're farmers. Uh, they're people that, uh, still work with the soil. They still rely on God. Farmers rely on one another and they take care of their own. Uh, and this town is wide awake. I mean,

00:18:34.640 um, they're talking about making a smoker to be able to smoke meat. Um, you know, just, you know, just to be able to have it and use it now. But if things go bad, you'd be able to preserve meat. Um, they just started in Malad. They just started this last weekend, a farmer's market, which, you know,

00:18:56.760 they were like, I don't know how many people are going to come this weekend. I don't know, you know, how this is going to go over. It went well this weekend. But the reason why they're doing it is because they know that we need to start growing and thinking locally. They know that, you know, the trucks could start to stop coming or the trains could stop coming from the cities and we all need to eat.

00:19:19.760 But I would urge you if you are in a town to do what they have done. Start a farmer's market. If you don't have one, start attending a farmer's market, uh, start growing your own food. If you're looking to move, find a very small town, particularly of farmers. And if you can find farmers who are also religious, uh, the Amish would be a great place to live if it wasn't so close to the East Coast.

00:19:49.760 Um, finding people who have values that are entrenched, generationally entrenched, uh, and that they are, they're not worried about their stuff. They're not worried about anything. You can find these communities. They are there. Uh, and it is important that we are living around like-minded people because it's going to get harder and harder.

00:20:18.340 You know, I remember, you know, I remember I went to a Catholic school when I was young and, um, I remember thinking about, you know, the end of days and, you know, Jesus coming back. And as a kid, that's terribly frightening. It's terribly frightening.

00:20:38.840 Um, and I remember, um, and I remember in second Timothy, I remember, or two Timothys, if you will, um, when, uh, in second Timothy, he describes what things are going to be like.

00:20:54.280 And I really had a hard time. I had to project out and say, Oh, I could see that happening. If you've ever thought that before, I want you to listen carefully and tell me you don't have to project out anymore.

00:21:08.940 Um, but understand this, that in the last days will come of difficulty for people will be lovers of self.

00:21:18.520 Absolutely true. Um, even the best of us, uh, I mean, I have a hard time and I know kids are always, you know, me, me, me.

00:21:27.860 Um, but I'm, I'm, I'm concerned at times with my own kids that they don't necessarily focus on others as much as they should.

00:21:38.600 Uh, and neither do I lovers of self. They're lovers of money. They're proud. They're arrogant. They're abusive.

00:21:50.040 They're disobedient to their parents. They're ungrateful. They're unholy. They're heartless, unappeasable. 0.99

00:21:59.440 Listen to that one. They're slanderous, without self-control. They're brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit.

00:22:14.500 Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness. Think of that one, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.

00:22:28.100 May I just say Joe Biden saying how he is the guy to stand up for the right and the good.

00:22:41.480 He is the righteous one. Do you remember all of the things that he said during the campaign that I'm like, oh my gosh, who would say this?

00:22:48.880 That he's the light, but also he's the guy who stood up and said, there are no miracles coming.

00:22:56.500 Avoid such people, it says, for among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women.

00:23:11.500 Now listen to this. Weak women. Oh, how outrageous. Weak women. 1.00

00:23:16.220 Burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at the knowledge of truth. 0.98

00:23:27.500 These men will oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, disqualified regarding the faith.

00:23:39.200 And then there's this line. They won't get very far for their folly will be plain for all to see.

00:23:44.460 Hmm. Now I think it is plain for all to see, but how many people have lost themselves in some of these descriptions of the people who are going to be causing the difficulty.

00:24:03.480 So in in thinking about this, I mean, that's describing that's describing what, you know, was coming, which I think is here.

00:24:14.740 All of those descriptions, I could do an hour monologue on just those descriptions, and I can show you how all of us are living some of those horrible things.

00:24:24.540 And some of us and some, you know, rulers are living all of them right now.

00:24:34.500 So if that's what you're not supposed to do, if that's what you're avoiding, what should we be concentrating on?

00:24:44.400 Because I will tell you, just like George Washington and the badge of merit, we will not be able to conquer this evil unless we are on God's side.

00:24:57.620 If we don't have divine providence, we will not be able to survive.

00:25:03.140 The things that are arrayed in front of us are no greater, no less than what our founders had arrayed against them.

00:25:16.380 It's a little more difficult because of technology, but they had spies living in their home.

00:25:23.780 We have spies living in our home.

00:25:25.540 We have the government living in our home, listening to Amazon, you know, Alexa or whoever.

00:25:37.200 So what do we do?

00:25:41.920 Well, people will be lovers of themselves.

00:25:46.660 So then that would mean we need to love our neighbor, even if we don't like them.

00:25:55.540 You know, I, I joined my church and I urge you to find something in your life that will, will help you do this.

00:26:05.980 But I joined my church because a guy who, um, I had dubbed the amazing Mr. Plastic Man.

00:26:13.320 I still remember his name, Lenny Ashuto.

00:26:16.480 And, um, I didn't think he was real because the first time he, he said something to me, he said, I just love you so much.

00:26:24.860 And I was like, Oh, back off, dude.

00:26:27.820 You know, give me 10 minutes and you'll hate my guts.

00:26:30.700 I was still, I was more of a dry drunk at this point.

00:26:34.520 Um, but he, he had the perfect family, the perfect children.

00:26:39.980 They all played the piano.

00:26:41.480 They were all smiles.

00:26:42.800 They were.

00:26:43.280 And I thought no one can be like that.

00:26:46.320 No one can be that happy.

00:26:48.080 No one.

00:26:50.820 And one Sunday he was teaching class.

00:26:54.660 And I was being stubborn because I didn't want to go to church every Sunday.

00:26:59.420 I didn't want to join a church.

00:27:00.900 I joined anything my entire life.

00:27:03.020 I didn't want to join a church.

00:27:03.980 And, uh, Pat will recall around this time when I was heavily drinking and until I changed my ways, uh, my slogan was Pat.

00:27:17.820 What did we used to always say?

00:27:19.180 My slogan was, I hate people.

00:27:21.780 Right.

00:27:23.400 And, um, I didn't want to be that way.

00:27:26.020 And, uh, Lenny was teaching a class and he said, brethren, how do we get to this place where it's Zion, where it's, where it's, uh, where it's bliss.

00:27:42.060 How do we get there?

00:27:43.780 What do we have to do to build it?

00:27:46.520 And a lot of people had answers, um, but none of them really stuck.

00:27:50.740 And then he said with tears in his eyes, there's only one way.

00:27:55.020 If I love you and you love me, we may not know each other.

00:28:01.540 We may not like each other.

00:28:03.960 We may have just met, but we found a way to look into each other's eyes and see the same spirit, the same spark that is in the other.

00:28:16.380 And we recognize it.

00:28:18.800 And therefore we love others.

00:28:21.920 And I realized this guy was not plastic at all.

00:28:25.760 He was the most genuine man I had ever met.

00:28:29.320 That was the day I decided that I wanted to be like that.

00:28:33.440 And I didn't care what it took to be like that, but I wanted to be that way.

00:28:43.040 If the people are going to be lovers of themselves, then we have to find that way to love one another.

00:28:51.360 Remember, even those we don't like, remember, even in the civil war, the one reason why Lincoln wasn't, uh, universally loved, uh, well, there was a lot of reasons, uh, which is weird.

00:29:06.520 None of them involve the wart or the beard.

00:29:08.900 I guess they were, I guess they were better people than we were back then.

00:29:12.420 I don't know because we would never have a president that looked like that now, but, um, he preached love and healing.

00:29:22.140 That's his second inaugural address.

00:29:23.900 It's all about healing.

00:29:25.720 And you know what, if we lose this, it's because God's ordained it.

00:29:31.240 If we lose this war because we've shed too much blood of the slave, well, then we lose this war, but let's love each other.

00:29:41.320 Let's do the right.

00:29:42.320 Let's heal the wounds.

00:29:44.620 Uh, that, that, that could never be said today.

00:29:48.820 If you're going to be lovers of money, if that's what the people we're supposed to avoid, then we can't love money.

00:29:57.120 We must not love things.

00:29:59.120 We must love people.

00:30:01.040 If the world is loving things over people, we must love people over things.

00:30:10.200 People are going to be boastful and proud.

00:30:14.500 We need to be humble and quiet.

00:30:17.380 Basically, you need to be the opposite of me.

00:30:20.740 You need to be humble.

00:30:24.160 You need, if they're going to be abusive, we need to be complimentary.

00:30:33.100 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:47.380 All the news that fit to print today.

00:30:52.440 Normandy, France, 1944.

00:30:56.140 In a surprise, aggressive move, American and British troops landed yesterday on the beaches of Normandy.

00:31:03.180 Germany's Trans-Ocean News Service reports that Germans, simply vacationing in the sleepy hamlets of this coastal region,

00:31:12.340 were awakened by the ships, planes, guns, and bombs of this sneak attack.

00:31:17.980 A few brave German tourists quickly ran to the bunkers and began returning fire to protect their French brothers and sisters.

00:31:27.760 Germany has already been subject to a horrifying 363 air raids by the Allied air forces in an attempt to terrorize its citizens.

00:31:38.120 British bombers have already dropped over 45,000 tons of bombs, while American aircraft dropped 23,000 tons.

00:31:48.480 Nearly 1.7 million people have been forced from their homes, creating what the United Nations has called the greatest refugee problem in history.

00:31:58.900 Many fleeing Germans only stopped briefly to say their goodbyes to their friends that they had made at the various camps throughout Germany and Poland.

00:32:09.780 The attack on Normandy coast was an oppressive show of military might.

00:32:14.940 The Allied forces have amassed the largest armada in human history, building a harbor where none previously existed, and sneaking into it unnoticed.

00:32:26.040 On college campuses, various socialist student organizations have held vigils, protests, and riots to condemn this illegal occupation.

00:32:37.180 They noted that deaths in Germany have numbered in the millions, while Americans have had relatively few casualties, perhaps only 100,000 to 200,000.

00:32:47.680 If the number of vacationers in German camps are included, that German death count increases by another 6 million.

00:32:57.480 It's obvious from the numbers that this militant operation is nothing more than an attempt to murder innocent Germans and wipe out their culture.

00:33:06.840 The League of Nations have labeled this action illegal under international law.

00:33:12.380 Protests are occurring in all major cities today, with demonstrators shouting that they will support the indigenous people of Germany against the occupying Allied forces.

00:33:24.140 And they will not stop until this disproportionate action is halted and the imperialist invading military is defunded.

00:33:34.620 American heroes, such as Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford, have come out strongly against this illegal and heartbreaking invasion that has resulted in the deaths of innocent Germans.

00:33:46.460 Of course, some known deplorables, like communist Charlie Chaplin and B-movie actor Ronald Reagan, have stood by America and foolishly proclaimed that this invasion is needed for the self-defense and to, quote, save Western civilization, end quote.

00:34:08.160 As if Western civilization were somehow superior to others, such as the Aryan civilization. 0.99

00:34:16.460 American corporations, including Coca-Cola, MGM, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and IBM, have all declared that they are in operating mode with solidarity with their oppressed German brethren.

00:34:31.400 They will be donating money to the German Lives Matter group and step up their hiring of German Americans. 0.89

00:34:38.820 The squad, consisting of Mildred Axis Sally Gillers and William Lord Ha-Ha Joyce, have been sitting for interviews with the press and doing radio and television shows to get the word out about their cause and to make Americans aware that their politicians are being dishonest and immoral.

00:34:58.420 From the comfort of his simple bunker, amid the constant bombing, German leader Adolf Hitler stated that Germany simply wants to reclaim land that was forcefully and illegally taken from it in 1918.

00:35:18.880 Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Poland, if these stolen lands are returned, there would be peace, he said.

00:35:29.840 The League of Nations condemned the Allies for their unequal response and called for an end to the cycle of violence.

00:35:37.160 League officials hope that a ceasefire can be obtained before Germany has been overrun, and the Allies institute their own government.

00:35:46.000 As these officials have discovered a secret martial plan that surely will impose martial law on Germany and result in the end of the German Reich, which was intended to last a thousand years.

00:36:02.880 And that's the news, written by Bob Zeidman.

00:36:06.920 You know, it's, I mean, if you go back in time, that's not what happened, but that's the way it would be told, I think, today by today's media.

00:36:21.380 We have our good friend, David Petruzza with us, and he is, he's an author of some of the best history books out there.

00:36:34.140 He's got a new book out that, David, I want to have you on called Too Long Ago.

00:36:38.540 Maybe we'll do a Friday special with you.

00:36:41.140 But we wanted to talk to him about the anniversary of D-Day.

00:36:45.100 David Petruzza is with us now.

00:36:46.640 Hi, David.

00:36:47.660 Hello.

00:36:48.060 Hello.

00:36:48.200 So, where do we even begin with D-Day, seeing that our schools are not learning about it, our children aren't learning anything about it?

00:36:59.720 Give us the highlights of what people really need to understand and how brave, daring, and deadly this thing was.

00:37:07.080 It could have gone terribly, terribly wrong, and there are two reasons for thinking that.

00:37:15.960 It was the biggest amphibious invasion in world history, 150,000 soldiers, 130,000 on the beach, 20,000 airborne coming in behind German lines,

00:37:29.540 and there had been a practice run in 1942 with Canadian troops at the French port of Dieppe, where they sent in 6,000 troops and there were 4,000 casualties.

00:37:40.640 The good news about it is they learned everything what not to do.

00:37:45.420 Have more naval bombardments, have more air power striking, have a more flexible plan, don't go into a port, go into beaches, and so they learned from that.

00:37:55.760 But even then, in April of 1944, they have a training exercise with 23,000 allied American troops in the south of England.

00:38:07.860 749 troops die in a training exercise when some German e-boats attack.

00:38:13.720 So, things can go wrong.

00:38:15.780 Things did go wrong.

00:38:17.460 Tanks floundered off.

00:38:19.000 The tides put the U.S. soldiers maybe a mile away on Utah Beach, so they landed in the wrong spot.

00:38:27.600 That's when Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., a general, a 56-year-old, lands on the beach, looks around, says,

00:38:34.240 Hey, nothing's right here.

00:38:35.900 We're in the wrong place.

00:38:37.080 And then he says, The war starts from here.

00:38:41.540 Tell me about the Canadians, because I had not heard that.

00:38:44.400 And I know that Canadians were being held by the Germans, and they were massacred by the SS during this, weren't they?

00:38:53.960 That's true.

00:38:55.080 They land on Juneau Beach, which is snuck between the British beaches of Sword and Gold.

00:39:02.680 And there are a number of them captured, and it starts with one massacre of about 20 Canadians, and it's an SS regiment.

00:39:10.520 They're shot right in the back of the head.

00:39:12.280 There's no question about that this is a massacre of prisoners, and about 140 in total are shot right away by these characters.

00:39:24.240 The Canadians arrest the commandant of that, and they bring him back to Canada.

00:39:30.880 He's the first person ever tried for war crimes in Canada.

00:39:34.760 He's sentenced to death, but you know how they say, Oh, you can't have the death penalty.

00:39:38.660 We just have life without parole.

00:39:40.280 Oh, this guy is out in 10 years after being sentenced to death.

00:39:44.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:45.200 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:46.540 So when they, I mean, I know that Eisenhower had a letter that he had sent that, because they really expected that this could be just a disaster.

00:39:57.900 I mean, they lost more people on that one day than we've lost in the 15 years in Iraq.

00:40:06.140 And it was literally a bloodbath.

00:40:10.120 And it could have been much worse.

00:40:12.160 And he had in his pocket, I believe, or he had sent out a letter to be read in case it was a disaster, taking all of the blame on himself.

00:40:23.080 Yeah.

00:40:23.480 He knew that if it went badly, if it was a disaster, he'd be out of there anyway.

00:40:32.000 So he knew he had to man up.

00:40:34.900 What's that say about his character?

00:40:38.960 I mean, who does that?

00:40:40.920 Is that unusual?

00:40:42.700 Nowadays, one would make a lot of excuses, but there were no excuses with him.

00:40:47.460 There's a great interview, an hour and a half with Walter Cronkite, which he did 20 years afterwards.

00:40:54.600 You can watch it on YouTube, and you can see his command of details of who was here, there, over that hill, what unit there were, how many people were involved, and what the implications of everything was.

00:41:12.400 They had the right guy in charge there, and also he was a diplomat.

00:41:16.120 Some very prickly personalities involved, not just Patton, but Bernard Montgomery was particularly at loggerheads with Eisenhower, and he made the whole thing work.

00:41:26.740 We focus on the heroism and the blood and the guts, but it's really as much a triumph of planning, immense planning down to soil samples and what the gradient of the beach will be and all these technical details as it is about the bullets flying.

00:41:45.420 And, of course, intelligence, planting ideas in the Germans that they're going to land somewhere else up the French coast at Calais, and so the Germans don't bring enough troops in, even once the fighting starts.

00:41:58.440 They think we have twice as many troops stationed in Britain than we actually have, that there might be an invasion of Norway or at the Pas de Calais,

00:42:07.940 and that Normandy, even when it pops, is going to be just a feint, a fake-out to get them distracted before we hit with the big one.

00:42:19.800 And it ain't. This is the big one.

00:42:21.880 David Petruzza, historian and author of Too Long Ago.

00:42:25.200 We're talking about D-Day and what it was really like.

00:42:30.880 David, they called it Bloody Omaha for Omaha Beach.

00:42:35.220 Was that the worst place?

00:42:37.640 Because if that would have failed, the whole thing would have fallen apart, right?

00:42:41.420 Right.

00:42:42.180 And Utah Beach is not particularly well defended by the Germans, but a lot of the tanks, which are supposed to support our men on the beach, just sink into the ocean.

00:42:53.680 And it is very much heavily defended.

00:42:57.800 And if they start to withdraw from Omaha Beach, then do they withdraw not to the ships, but to the other beaches?

00:43:06.660 And because logistics are so important, that could have created chaos in the other beaches and just sunk the whole thing.

00:43:14.440 It's a success.

00:43:15.920 We win.

00:43:16.740 Okay, but none of the main objectives of D-Day for D-Day are met.

00:43:23.300 They want to capture four major towns just in back of the beaches, and they want to link up all the beaches, and they don't.

00:43:30.080 So as much as we throw our best at the Germans, and they make a lot of mistakes in terms of intelligence and moving troops in and out and not having air power, it's a toughly run thing there for a while. 0.88

00:43:43.740 As Rommel said, and it's Rommel who coins the phrase, this is the longest day.

00:43:49.340 And if they are to beat the Allies, they have to do it that day.

00:43:55.040 Rommel was turned against Hitler at that point.

00:43:58.460 Wasn't he at that point almost plotting against Hitler? 0.51

00:44:02.480 Hitler didn't want us necessarily to win, but knew what Hitler was doing to the country and was against him.

00:44:09.080 Do I have that right?

00:44:09.940 Yeah, he eventually becomes part of the conspiracy to blow up Hitler or to overthrow him.

00:44:20.400 And what happens is that Hitler catches on to this.

00:44:24.740 He had been a favorite of Hitler.

00:44:27.260 He had been part of his guard going back years before that.

00:44:31.020 So he had his confidence.

00:44:32.540 That's why Hitler places him in charge of this great Atlantic wall to beef this up. 0.98

00:44:38.340 But then when he's caught by Hitler, as part of this plot, he's given the option. 0.82

00:44:44.520 Either you are put on trial or you commit suicide.

00:44:49.400 We hush the whole thing up and your family gets to walk away.

00:44:54.040 They don't go into any camps.

00:44:55.420 They get the pension and you get the gold watch. 0.99

00:44:58.380 But kill yourself. 0.98

00:44:59.580 And because it would hurt morale greatly if this guy at that point in time is found not to be with the Nazi program. 0.99

00:45:08.800 In terms of secrecy on our side, we have that training exercise at Slapton Sands where 749 of our soldiers are killed.

00:45:17.900 That is kept a U.S. military secret until 1984 when a housewife in England.

00:45:26.940 What was this?

00:45:29.420 In when we lost 749 U.S. personnel.

00:45:35.060 Okay, in a training exercise.

00:45:37.080 In a training exercise in April of 44.

00:45:40.660 That is kept secret from the American public until 1984, not 44, 84.

00:45:49.080 And that is released only when a British housewife starts talking about it and making noise. 0.99

00:45:55.660 And finally, the U.S. government has to own up to it.

00:45:58.880 Again, why keep it secret?

00:46:01.140 Proportions of you keep everything secret from the Germans.

00:46:04.440 You don't want them to know anything we're doing, although certainly they knew something was going on because they sunk the boats these guys were on, but also not to damage our morale.

00:46:16.420 So they say.

00:46:18.200 How many transgender people were on the beach that day, David?

00:46:24.300 We don't know and we don't care.

00:46:26.960 Yeah, we don't.

00:46:27.380 Well, there was that guy in kilts.

00:46:31.540 There was the guy in kilts playing the bagpipe, which really befuddled the Germans. 0.86

00:46:40.920 Yeah.

00:46:42.440 I have a Scottish friend who is like, he's like in war.

00:46:48.040 He said, one of us will go out.

00:46:50.280 If it's in a tough bet, we'll play the bagpipes.

00:46:53.180 And I'm like, that's nuts, man.

00:46:54.740 He's like, that's what we do.

00:46:56.740 That's what we do.

00:46:57.660 David Petruzza, thank you so much.

00:46:59.460 I'd love to have you on again about your book, Too Long Ago.

00:47:02.940 It is his expedition into a small town childhood after World War II and how they survived World War II, what they came out of and what they came to here in America and what it all meant not too long ago.

00:47:22.400 So, David Petruzza, thank you for being on the program.

00:47:25.180 Na, na, na, na.
