The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Jason Whitlock ｜ 7⧸26⧸21

00:00:00.000 Wow, what a great podcast today.

00:00:02.020 Stu is here.

00:00:02.980 Pat is back.

00:00:05.080 We also had Jason Whitlock, who talked a little bit about the NFL.

00:00:09.140 He said that he thinks the NFL vaccination rules are going to make stop and frisk look

00:00:16.780 like the Emancipation Proclamation.

00:00:19.420 Now, I wish Joe Biden was here to say that's not hyperbole.

00:00:23.440 No joke.

00:00:24.460 I mean it.

00:00:25.060 It's a fact.

00:00:25.760 Look it up.

00:00:26.560 But unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, Joe Biden is not here.

00:00:32.520 However, his son is cashing in.

00:00:35.200 And meanwhile, his daddy decided to let a few things go with the Chinese. 0.78

00:00:41.980 We're not going to continue to investigate and press charges against these so-called Chinese spies.

00:00:49.380 What?

00:00:50.120 What's the big deal?

00:00:51.340 Well, it's pretty amazing what the Justice Department has backed off on just in the last

00:00:58.480 couple of days.

00:00:59.200 All the little investigations that we're going.

00:01:02.540 We'll tell you more about that on today's podcast.

00:01:05.760 And we actually started with a salute to women, because, I mean, if you're a progressive woman,

00:01:15.400 my gosh, you have to love what's going on, because they've made all of your dreams come

00:01:19.240 true.

00:01:19.880 That's where we begin on today's podcast.

00:01:21.540 Welcome back to Mr. Pat Gray, who has been on hiatus and vacation for the last week.

00:01:42.520 Wow.

00:01:43.520 Wow.

00:01:43.980 World hasn't changed at all, has it?

00:01:45.720 No.

00:01:46.180 No.

00:01:46.820 Uh-uh.

00:01:47.160 Uh-uh.

00:01:47.900 We're thinking about the masks coming back.

00:01:49.980 Yeah.

00:01:50.360 We got that going for us.

00:01:51.540 Yeah.

00:01:51.760 In fact, as we were driving through St. Louis, they were reinstituting the mandate.

00:01:55.960 Yeah.

00:01:56.280 Did you put yours on?

00:01:57.600 I did not.

00:01:58.260 You did not.

00:01:58.880 I did not.

00:01:59.520 Even though they were reinstituting it.

00:02:00.480 Even though they were reinstituting it.

00:02:02.160 Today, it's mandatory.

00:02:02.640 And we were on their freeways.

00:02:04.160 Wow.

00:02:04.440 We said, nope, I'm not doing it.

00:02:05.460 Not doing it.

00:02:06.120 Not doing it.

00:02:06.560 Wow.

00:02:06.980 You are a rebel living on the edge.

00:02:09.140 I am a scoffer.

00:02:09.540 How are the people of Missouri and in Illinois, because you were up in that area?

00:02:14.560 Yeah, I was.

00:02:15.120 How are they doing with the mask thing?

00:02:16.600 They're done with it.

00:02:17.260 They're done with the mask thing.

00:02:20.120 Really?

00:02:20.320 We went all over Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa.

00:02:25.260 You know how to have a good time.

00:02:26.560 We do.

00:02:27.040 Yeah.

00:02:27.360 We do.

00:02:27.860 We saw more cornfields than you can shake a stick at.

00:02:31.240 And I've been shaking sticks at cornfields for quite a while.

00:02:34.680 Does it work?

00:02:35.120 No, it really is.

00:02:36.340 Not as much fun as advertised.

00:02:39.160 That's weird.

00:02:40.160 Yeah.

00:02:40.620 That's weird.

00:02:41.180 Yeah.

00:02:41.360 Nobody's wearing a mask.

00:02:42.860 Really?

00:02:43.360 Nobody.

00:02:43.880 A few waitresses.

00:02:45.320 Yeah.

00:02:45.500 But that's it.

00:02:47.080 Usually in the restaurants, they weren't even wearing a mask.

00:02:49.480 But I will tell you the thing that is going on is the employee shortage at restaurants.

00:02:54.640 Oh, yeah.

00:02:55.200 Big time.

00:02:55.480 It is critical.

00:02:57.620 Oh, many restaurants completely shut down because they can't get enough employees.

00:03:02.620 Which is crazy.

00:03:03.720 It's not because of COVID.

00:03:04.880 It's because they can't get the employee, which might be sort of related.

00:03:08.600 Might be sort of related in a way.

00:03:11.560 I'm shaking my stick right now to see if that's what it is.

00:03:15.900 You keep shaking it because I think it might.

00:03:18.560 I think it's on to something.

00:03:20.180 I'm not, but the stick is.

00:03:21.700 Yes.

00:03:22.520 So, you know, there's been a lot of stuff going on while you were away.

00:03:26.980 Don't know if you heard, but we're going to be relegated to the ether if we ask questions now that the CDC or the White House doesn't want us to ask.

00:03:41.560 Yeah.

00:03:41.700 How dare you?

00:03:42.460 Yeah.

00:03:42.580 Why would you ask something like that?

00:03:44.220 Sure.

00:03:44.640 It happened the other day with with Jen Psaki being asked a question she she didn't really like.

00:03:52.840 They're vaccinated here in the White House medical unit for the most part.

00:03:56.820 Go ahead.

00:03:57.820 I'll call Kelly.

00:03:58.440 I'm sorry.

00:03:58.680 I'll come to you next.

00:04:00.060 One, this administration has long claimed that you're trying to get most transparent history.

00:04:04.200 If that's the case, why won't you just release the number of breakthrough cases that you had of vaccinated staffers?

00:04:09.980 Well, I think first we're in a very different place than we were six to seven months ago as it relates to the virus.

00:04:16.980 And as many medical experts have said inside and outside of the government, those who are vaccinated are protected from serious illness.

00:04:25.100 Most are asymptomatic if they are individuals who are vaccinated to get the virus.

00:04:29.780 And, you know, we are in a different place in terms of the impact of individuals who may have, as you said, breakthrough cases.

00:04:36.780 Why not just provide the number?

00:04:38.180 Are you trying to hide something?

00:04:39.380 No.

00:04:39.580 But what is the why do you need to have that information?

00:04:42.100 Cases of transparency in the interest of the public.

00:04:45.000 That would be a better understanding.

00:04:46.140 Why do you need that information?

00:04:47.600 How breakthrough cases work here in the White House?

00:04:48.500 Well, first, there are the CDC tracks.

00:04:51.240 And let me give you this information, too.

00:04:52.800 And she goes on to answer questions that were not related to that one.

00:04:55.520 Right.

00:04:55.840 But she doesn't like that question.

00:04:56.920 But she doesn't like that question.

00:04:57.720 Why do they need that? 0.57

00:04:58.720 Why do they need that question under the Trump administration?

00:05:02.120 Yeah, right.

00:05:03.020 Yeah.

00:05:03.240 Why do any of us need any question answered by you?

00:05:06.820 Isn't that what we're supposed to do?

00:05:08.300 And then you answer them?

00:05:09.500 Right.

00:05:09.800 I thought that's how it worked.

00:05:11.240 What is our arrangement here?

00:05:13.320 Yeah, what am I?

00:05:14.000 You answer questions and I ask them.

00:05:16.440 It seems like you make $174,000 a year to answer the questions I ask.

00:05:20.640 And we should point out, she is our employee.

00:05:23.300 She is not like, people could look at that. 0.96

00:05:25.560 It's completely been flipped on its head.

00:05:26.700 Yeah, it's a position that's responsible to the public.

00:05:30.000 The press secretary is supposed to give us information. 0.87

00:05:32.440 It's not a campaign official, which is what they've become over the past couple decades.

00:05:37.300 That's for sure.

00:05:37.800 But I mean, she's supposed to, her job is to get information from the White House to us.

00:05:42.700 It's not to defend President Biden.

00:05:45.540 It's not to ask why you need that information.

00:05:47.720 No.

00:05:48.160 No, because I just want it.

00:05:49.700 Yeah.

00:05:49.940 How about that?

00:05:50.720 How about that?

00:05:51.060 Plus, it's my job to get it.

00:05:52.440 How about that?

00:05:54.940 Plus, the American people want to know.

00:05:56.560 How about that? 0.72

00:06:00.720 Crazy.

00:06:01.440 It's just unbelievable what's going on now.

00:06:04.320 But, like everything else, it's been completely flipped on its head.

00:06:08.100 And we apparently have no right to any information anymore.

00:06:10.960 It's almost as if everything is inside out and upside down.

00:06:16.400 Isn't it, though?

00:06:17.280 Isn't it?

00:06:17.840 Mm-hmm.

00:06:18.180 The goal was to create enough chaos to turn us upside down and inside out so you won't

00:06:24.680 recognize anything.

00:06:26.340 It's absolutely happened.

00:06:27.560 It's absolutely happened.

00:06:29.200 And they've taken their mask off, too.

00:06:31.300 They don't care anymore.

00:06:32.560 Well, they should put that mask back on because Fauci says they should put that mask back on.

00:06:36.340 That's right.

00:06:36.980 That's right.

00:06:37.920 I am not as anti-mask as I thought I was.

00:06:41.020 Really?

00:06:41.380 Really?

00:06:41.660 Yeah, I'm thinking about wearing my mask in the stores and, you know, any place that

00:06:46.220 says you have a mask, I'm going to wear it and I say, yes, I wear it as a hat.

00:06:50.400 That doesn't, I'm not sure that's exactly what they're looking for.

00:06:54.640 I think it's like a little Amish hat.

00:06:56.240 I think it's like one of those little.

00:06:57.840 It is a nice hat.

00:06:59.020 It's a nice hat.

00:06:59.800 Yeah, it is.

00:07:00.260 It's a very nice hat.

00:07:00.820 And it stops the satellites that are spying on your brainwaves, potentially deflects some

00:07:06.140 of that.

00:07:07.200 No, it doesn't.

00:07:08.320 I already checked.

00:07:09.040 It doesn't.

00:07:10.040 It doesn't.

00:07:10.480 I thought that, too.

00:07:11.720 Originally.

00:07:12.320 And then I started doing some research on it. 0.99

00:07:14.460 I'm like, damn. 0.98

00:07:15.180 Well, because I thought the tinfoil works as a conducting advice. 0.99

00:07:18.440 It does.

00:07:18.820 It does.

00:07:18.880 It's what the government wants you to do to avoid the brainwave detection.

00:07:22.860 That's why they've been pushing it all these years.

00:07:25.000 So, by the way, did you hear the audio of Fauci defending the funding now of?

00:07:34.060 Yeah, the Wuhan lab?

00:07:35.220 Yeah.

00:07:35.960 Yeah.

00:07:36.320 No, that didn't happen, guys.

00:07:37.680 No, that was last week.

00:07:38.920 Oh, it was.

00:07:39.400 That's last week.

00:07:40.100 Listen to this audio.

00:07:42.240 Critics say the Wuhan lab experiments were nonetheless risky, whether or not they fit

00:07:46.780 that category.

00:07:47.760 And obviously, the Chinese government is not a good faith partner.

00:07:51.400 They're not allowing transparency.

00:07:52.960 They're not allowing a real investigation.

00:07:54.420 Everyone but the Chinese say this. 0.99

00:07:55.700 And obviously, going forward, given that the Chinese government won't allow any real investigation,

00:08:00.640 do you still think the U.S. government should collaborate with labs like Wuhan, especially

00:08:05.000 on research that experts consider risky?

00:08:07.320 Well, you know, Jake, if you go back to when this research really started and look at the

00:08:14.340 scientific rationale for it, it was a peer-reviewed proposal that was peer-reviewed and given a

00:08:22.960 very high rating for the importance of why it should be done to be able to go and do a

00:08:28.700 survey of what was going on among the bat population because everyone in the world was trying to figure

00:08:35.720 out what the original source of the original SARS-CoV-1 was.

00:08:42.180 And in that context, the research was done.

00:08:45.700 It was very regulated.

00:08:46.700 It was reviewed.

00:08:48.020 It was given progress reports.

00:08:49.860 It was published in the open literature.

00:08:52.860 So I think if you look at the ultimate back rationale why that was started, it was almost as if you

00:08:59.480 didn't pursue that research.

00:09:01.020 You would be negligent because we were trying to find out how you can prevent this from happening

00:09:06.840 again.

00:09:07.340 You'd be negligent if you didn't do the research that they didn't do, according to him.

00:09:13.860 But it was all peer-reviewed and watched carefully and monitoring.

00:09:17.720 So, you know, it was done carefully, but we didn't do it.

00:09:20.820 But we would have been negligent had we not do it.

00:09:24.280 Yeah.

00:09:24.820 What? 1.00

00:09:25.100 Has there ever been a bigger lying sack of crap than Anthony Fauci? 1.00

00:09:29.520 I don't know that there ever has been. 1.00

00:09:31.520 Is there?

00:09:31.800 I mean, is there anyone?

00:09:32.880 Oh, yes, there has been.

00:09:33.900 Has there?

00:09:34.180 Really?

00:09:34.800 Yes, there has been.

00:09:35.500 I don't know.

00:09:36.060 He's just he's just plurific.

00:09:42.680 Say it for me.

00:09:43.660 Poliferous.

00:09:44.960 He's prolific. 1.00

00:09:46.780 He is a prolific liar. 1.00

00:09:48.380 He is. 1.00

00:09:49.120 You know, it's a broad.

00:09:51.100 It's very narrow.

00:09:52.200 It's only about COVID, but it's very broad inside that narrow category.

00:09:56.820 It's almost everything he says.

00:09:58.700 Is anyone questioning what he said?

00:10:00.940 Like, no one's questioning whether, like, this research was started to begin a pandemic.

00:10:06.820 Like, no one thinks that, like, they were like, you know what?

00:10:08.900 Let's start a pandemic. 0.98

00:10:09.860 We'll start some research to get it going.

00:10:11.680 Yeah.

00:10:11.840 Like, everyone understands the idea.

00:10:13.420 Always start with the false premise.

00:10:14.640 Right.

00:10:14.920 The beginning of this.

00:10:16.140 Yes.

00:10:16.400 We can understand why you'd think about this.

00:10:18.040 But he continually does this and plays these semantic games where, like, they said, okay,

00:10:24.520 gain of function research is banned.

00:10:26.780 And so, hey, let's go through a process to try to justify that this isn't the definition

00:10:32.640 of gain of function so we can do it.

00:10:34.640 No, they did that after.

00:10:36.040 Right.

00:10:36.600 They started initially before the ban.

00:10:38.380 Yeah.

00:10:38.680 All said that it was gain of function.

00:10:41.860 And it was peer-reviewed.

00:10:42.740 I don't know if you heard that.

00:10:43.740 The documents and papers were peer-reviewed.

00:10:45.480 Peer-reviewed.

00:10:46.180 But they were titled gain of function.

00:10:47.940 Yeah, but they were peer-reviewed.

00:10:49.020 Right.

00:10:49.600 And closely scrutinized.

00:10:51.280 They peer-reviewed their way into being able to do the research.

00:10:55.200 Exactly right.

00:10:55.520 They set up their own guidelines.

00:10:58.060 Yes.

00:10:58.380 And then they said, how do we get around these guidelines?

00:11:00.500 Correct.

00:11:01.120 And so, they got around the guidelines.

00:11:02.920 Then, after it was, quote-unquote, a success, then they had to publish a paper on it.

00:11:10.540 Peer-reviewed paper, by the way.

00:11:11.980 And in it, it said that this was done before, you know, the United States held back the funding,

00:11:21.160 even though we gave back the funding back to them.

00:11:23.800 And it said, but a peer-reviewed review was done by peers.

00:11:30.580 Right.

00:11:30.900 And they looked into it, and this one can continue.

00:11:35.000 Oh, that's good to hear.

00:11:36.220 So, it was peer-reviewed the whole time and closely scrutinized.

00:11:39.800 And, like, that's a...

00:11:41.640 Like, the question wasn't even about that.

00:11:45.600 It was about, should this continue in the future?

00:11:47.640 And he wouldn't even...

00:11:48.260 He didn't even come remotely close to answer the question.

00:11:49.900 You don't need that answer.

00:11:50.720 What you need is how many peers of mine have reviewed this.

00:11:55.020 Okay.

00:11:55.240 How many peers have reviewed this?

00:11:57.240 Lots.

00:11:57.660 A lot?

00:11:58.080 Lots.

00:11:58.560 Is it peer-reviewed, though?

00:11:59.040 The vast majority of my peers.

00:12:01.100 Wow.

00:12:01.640 Yeah.

00:12:01.840 Really?

00:12:02.160 Yes.

00:12:02.380 How many peers do you actually have?

00:12:04.000 I have more than I can count.

00:12:05.280 Okay.

00:12:05.700 Why do you need that question?

00:12:06.760 I don't need that.

00:12:07.080 Yeah, why do you need that question?

00:12:08.560 Thank you very much.

00:12:08.940 I withdraw the question.

00:12:10.060 Thank you.

00:12:10.420 You're getting a little hostile here.

00:12:11.700 I apologize.

00:12:12.660 Why are you questioning me?

00:12:13.560 I shouldn't.

00:12:14.140 I shouldn't apologize.

00:12:14.900 Thank you.

00:12:15.120 I'm sorry.

00:12:17.060 I would accept your apology, but you're white, and so you can never do enough to apologize. 1.00

00:12:22.660 Way too much privilege. 0.90

00:12:22.780 It's just...

00:12:23.280 Thank you.

00:12:24.260 Welcome back, Pat Gray.

00:12:25.600 Thank you.

00:12:25.820 Nice to have you back in the studio.

00:12:28.160 Good to be back as well.

00:12:30.160 Are you still hosting that program called Pat Gray Unleashed, available everywhere?

00:12:33.260 I am.

00:12:33.600 It usually happens, in fact, just about every time right before this show.

00:12:37.640 What?

00:12:37.960 Really?

00:12:38.340 How would people...

00:12:39.400 How would one acquire this?

00:12:41.720 Why are you asking that show?

00:12:42.420 Why do you need that question answered?

00:12:43.600 Well, I guess I...

00:12:44.600 I don't know that people do that.

00:12:46.400 But I'm willing to.

00:12:47.220 I'm willing to.

00:12:48.180 It's...

00:12:48.580 Wow.

00:12:48.740 You know, you could go to the Blaze Radio Television, listen to it there, or anytime, wherever you

00:12:55.840 get your podcasts.

00:12:56.560 That sounds convenient.

00:12:57.800 Wow.

00:12:57.900 Usually it costs about $130 to download it, but...

00:13:01.320 It's free now?

00:13:02.120 We've discounted it 100%.

00:13:03.740 This man is magnanimous.

00:13:05.560 This man has gone the extra mile, even just answering a question that shouldn't have been

00:13:09.460 asked in the first...

00:13:10.240 Sorry.

00:13:10.660 You're welcome.

00:13:14.600 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:26.200 So, I don't know about you, but I love the Cleveland Guardians.

00:13:38.180 Love that name.

00:13:39.180 I think they had to be hammered.

00:13:43.240 I think...

00:13:43.980 My guess is that those involved in changing the Cleveland Indians name said, I can't...

00:13:51.380 I cannot...

00:13:52.880 I cannot do this sober.

00:13:55.840 And so, you know, maybe...

00:13:58.140 Maybe, you know, one of the head guys was out on the bridge and like, you know, Bill's

00:14:02.980 going to kill himself if he changed the name of the Indians.

00:14:07.820 No, he's not. 0.55

00:14:08.960 Yes, he's out on the bridge right now.

00:14:11.840 Standing next to that big...

00:14:13.320 That big statue on the...

00:14:15.320 Hey, maybe that's it.

00:14:18.320 That statue's called the Guardian.

00:14:20.620 Why don't we call them the Cleveland Guardians?

00:14:23.780 Now, I believe that's the way it happened.

00:14:27.040 And I would like to submit some evidence.

00:14:31.240 The...

00:14:31.560 What are you... 0.99

00:14:32.020 What the hell are you saying? 0.95

00:14:33.540 The Cleveland Guardians is already taken.

00:14:35.980 There's another team called the Cleveland Guardians in their own town.

00:14:43.220 And they even have their own website.

00:14:45.720 Nobody...

00:14:46.200 Nobody...

00:14:47.220 Nobody...

00:14:47.940 Nobody check the dot-com thing?

00:14:51.060 It does seem like an important idea to check ClevelandGuardians.com before you name...

00:14:55.440 Well, only if you believe in the internet.

00:14:57.180 Yeah, I mean, if you think there's a future...

00:14:59.040 It's a passing trend.

00:14:59.880 Yeah, if you think the interwebs have a future, you usually would go to ClevelandGuardians.com,

00:15:04.980 which is a male roller derby team.

00:15:07.680 And I never thought of that.

00:15:10.040 I know.

00:15:10.920 You'd think before you book Tom Hanks to come in and narrate your launch video, you go to

00:15:17.140 the website.

00:15:18.100 What kind of attorney do they have?

00:15:20.740 Because they had to go and search Cleveland Guardians before...

00:15:25.900 Did they not?

00:15:26.480 I can't believe they didn't.

00:15:27.880 It had to be... 0.88

00:15:28.660 Maybe it was one of these things where the owner of the site was like, screw you guys.

00:15:32.200 If you change the name, I don't want you to have it.

00:15:33.780 And they've already given up.

00:15:35.480 And they said, well, we'll name it TheClevelandGuardians.com or whatever.

00:15:38.780 I don't know.

00:15:39.300 I don't know what they did.

00:15:40.760 But all I can tell you is, you should probably have control of the website.

00:15:44.960 This is why it's difficult to rename a team now.

00:15:47.440 There's a guy in Washington who predicted, as it turns out correctly, that the world would

00:15:53.080 become much more woke and the Washington Redskins would no longer be allowed.

00:15:56.480 And so, he went out and he bought WashingtonWhatevers.com and came up with a hundred different things

00:16:03.040 and booked all of them.

00:16:03.880 Oh, my gosh.

00:16:04.280 Now, what they wound up doing, they couldn't come up with a team name and they've decided

00:16:09.680 to just go with Washington Football Team, which is hilarious.

00:16:12.880 I have that one.

00:16:15.600 WashingtonFootballTeam.com.

00:16:16.920 It's not surprising.

00:16:17.460 That was one of the things he didn't have.

00:16:18.840 Right.

00:16:19.300 That is weird.

00:16:19.720 I actually think that one turned out to be brilliant.

00:16:21.780 And I liked it at the time.

00:16:23.160 Most people hated it.

00:16:24.160 Now, I would have preferred staying with Washington Redskins because all the complaints about 1.00

00:16:27.660 them were stupid. 0.99

00:16:28.500 But if you had to change the name, I like Washington Football Team because I'm an NFC East fan. 1.00

00:16:33.800 I'm an Eagles fan.

00:16:34.940 My dad was a Giants fan.

00:16:36.500 One of my good friends is a Redskins fan.

00:16:38.080 Everyone here is a Cowboys fan.

00:16:40.060 No one on earth calls them the Washington Football Team.

00:16:43.120 They just keep calling them the Redskins because there's no substitute.

00:16:46.880 If they came out with the Washington Guardians, eventually people would transition.

00:16:51.820 No one calls them the football team.

00:16:53.780 They either call them Washington or they say the Redskins.

00:16:57.080 And so, essentially, the team, in a way, has not really been renamed.

00:17:01.480 At some point, the woke left is going to notice this and they're going to make them change

00:17:05.520 it again.

00:17:05.820 I have a feeling that Cleveland, the Guardians, haven't really officially changed their name

00:17:13.460 either.

00:17:17.920 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:17:23.780 With its COVID protocols, the NFL is implementing medical Jim Crow, and Joe Biden loves it.

00:17:37.920 That's from the latest edition of the Blaze podcast from Jason Whitlock, who's joining us now.

00:17:46.240 Hi, Jason.

00:17:47.520 Hey, Glenn.

00:17:48.140 How are you?

00:17:48.640 Happy Monday.

00:17:49.360 Yeah, thank you.

00:17:50.140 So, I heard this about the NFL over the weekend, and I'm not qualified to talk about it at all.

00:17:55.300 So, I thought I'd let you and Stu talk about it, you know, for the people who, you know, want

00:18:00.560 something halfway accurate.

00:18:03.060 Perfect.

00:18:03.420 I'm here to do it.

00:18:05.340 Okay.

00:18:05.820 So, what do you mean by modern-day Jim Crow?

00:18:08.960 Well, to be quite honest with you, Tucker Carlson coined the phrase, medical Jim Crow.

00:18:16.340 A couple of months ago, he was talking about how these COVID restrictions are going to negatively

00:18:21.780 impact black Americans because we are the most reluctant by all the data.

00:18:28.140 All the data says we are the most reluctant to take the COVID vaccines, and we're seeing

00:18:33.420 it play out in the National Football League.

00:18:35.880 The NFL has implemented some rules in terms of, even if you're unvaccinated and you breach 1.00

00:18:44.720 any of the protocols they set up, including not having your mask on 24-7 whenever you're

00:18:51.120 in the building, you're going to face a $14,000 fine.

00:18:55.100 If your team has some kind of COVID outbreak that involves an unvaccinated player, your team

00:19:01.780 could be forced to forfeit games and paychecks, all of this, all of these restrictions, based

00:19:08.620 on the data and the research and who's getting the vaccines, are going to disproportionately

00:19:13.420 impact black NFL players negatively.

00:19:19.040 And it's how these COVID restrictions, again, the left loves to talk about, oh, Jim Crow,

00:19:26.140 voter suppression.

00:19:27.620 It's Jim Crow 2.0. 0.95

00:19:29.240 Look, these rules requiring an ID are going to negatively impact poor black and brown people. 0.89

00:19:36.720 And it's all BS, Glenn.

00:19:39.820 I have yet, this whole voter ID deal, it's a victimless crime in terms of, I haven't seen

00:19:47.200 any proof that black people are showing up at the polls and being turned away because

00:19:52.260 they have no ID. 0.95

00:19:53.780 Or they're sitting at home, oh, I got no ID, I can't do voter mail or whatever. 1.00

00:19:58.460 It's all garbage. 0.73

00:20:00.800 What actually is legitimate is what's going on with these COVID restrictions. 0.98

00:20:06.380 But you won't hear anybody on the left talk about it.

00:20:09.140 Okay. 0.86

00:20:09.320 So why is it that the black community is the worst at not getting vaccinated? 1.00

00:20:14.680 No group of people has been preached to more aggressively, don't trust the government. 0.90

00:20:23.040 Right?

00:20:24.160 Stu, we were right. 0.92

00:20:25.360 Stu and I were talking about this this morning and we're like, if you're black, why would 1.00

00:20:29.240 you take it? 0.99

00:20:30.020 You're being told everybody is trying to kill you. 0.81

00:20:33.520 Here, take this vaccine.

00:20:34.600 And look, there have been examples of the Tuskegee syphilis project that, you know, from 0.84

00:20:42.940 the 1930s that really damaged black men and we were basically lab rats.

00:20:49.380 Yeah.

00:20:49.520 Uh, and so that's part of our history, but again, it's part of our history.

00:20:55.860 What's going on today is corporate media and the democratic puppet masters every day telling

00:21:04.680 black people, man, this government is out to get you. 0.97

00:21:08.340 It's systemically racist. 1.00

00:21:09.720 You have no shot. 0.96

00:21:11.060 And so it makes perfect sense for black people to say, man, I'm not going to trust an experimental 1.00

00:21:19.600 and experimental vaccine that hasn't gone through all the proper normal protocols and

00:21:28.400 channels that vaccines go through before they're issued in mass.

00:21:32.740 It makes perfect sense for us to be the least likely to go get the shot.

00:21:37.660 So why then is the media attacking Trump supporters when that's not, it's not even true?

00:21:45.280 Why are they going after people, um, and not mentioning blacks and Hispanics, which are

00:21:52.540 far more less likely to get vaccinated? 0.89

00:21:56.660 Because all the corporate media does is lie.

00:22:00.460 And they particularly lie about race issues and they want to demonize.

00:22:06.420 Oh my God, there's this Delta variant and it's Trump supporters.

00:22:10.140 And, and again, it's almost like there are two dishonest messages, confusing black people.

00:22:17.800 One is, uh, the government's out to get you and, and they're, they're plotting every day 0.99

00:22:24.200 on how they can kill you. 0.95

00:22:25.380 And two is, oh man, these Trump supporters, they're destroying America for you and you must 1.00

00:22:31.760 hate them because they're your mortal enemies. 0.99

00:22:34.880 And, and Glenn, I'm just, I'm going to go to my death saying Trump supporters and black 0.97

00:22:42.360 people are natural allies.

00:22:45.040 Both groups need to wake up and understand we're, we're not the elites.

00:22:51.320 And, and I, you know, it's Glenn Beck is worth a gazillion dollars.

00:22:56.040 I'm worth a lot of money.

00:22:57.400 I get when people, oh, well, you guys are elites too.

00:23:00.900 Our mentality is an elite, uh, you know, our faith in a higher power makes us humble ourselves

00:23:08.780 and have a different worldview.

00:23:10.680 And so even though I'm wealthy, I'm not an elite.

00:23:14.460 I have a working class mentality.

00:23:16.800 Well, you know, it, beyond that, I, you know, I don't think it matters when we're all saying

00:23:22.220 everyone should have the same opportunity and shot.

00:23:25.600 I don't like, uh, Donnie Deutsch who came out, can you play this for Jason who came out

00:23:31.160 this weekend and said this, imagine the arrogance to say this on TV.

00:23:34.880 Look, whether it's a mandate, a mask, a mandate, a vaccine is at this point, there is a percentage

00:23:41.040 of the population that who cares whether they're angry or upset about that.

00:23:45.140 This is just, there's 330 million people in this country.

00:23:47.980 We need to protect ourselves.

00:23:49.540 And as, and as, as Willie and Alicia mentioned, look, there's, there's been mandates on throughout

00:23:54.140 time.

00:23:54.620 I grew up having to get a smallpox vaccine.

00:23:56.680 We all did other vaccines also.

00:23:58.340 So I'm done worrying about what people think I'm done worrying about, is there going to be 1.00

00:24:04.020 a firestorm, whether it's a mandated mask, whether it's a mandated vaccine, there's an idiot 1.00

00:24:08.220 percentage of this population that just needs to be told what to do. 1.00

00:24:12.440 And guess what?

00:24:13.520 Wow.

00:24:14.660 I think that's elite.

00:24:16.400 That's elite.

00:24:18.320 That's certainly an un-American sentiment.

00:24:21.240 It's also a dangerous sentiment when, when, again, that's someone who arrogant, self-important,

00:24:30.560 thinks he's smarter than everybody else. 0.75

00:24:33.120 And it's literally, I promise you, I wake up every day hoping I don't make a fool out 0.99

00:24:38.900 of myself with something ignorant that I do. 0.78

00:24:40.980 And that's my system of checks and balances to make sure that, that I act normal.

00:24:45.760 I just don't have that superiority gene that Donnie Deutch seems to have.

00:24:50.880 And a lot of people on the left seem to have, they're just smarter than everybody else.

00:24:55.800 And the rest of us are just blessed to be in their presence.

00:24:58.400 In your article, you talk about a player from Arizona and Tampa that spoke out last week

00:25:07.100 about this.

00:25:08.980 And you said, we can't be cowards and sheep forever.

00:25:12.880 What do you mean?

00:25:14.540 Well, DeAndre Hopkins, the Arizona Cardinal wide receiver, has expressed his reluctance

00:25:22.120 and concern about the vaccine.

00:25:24.480 Leonard Fournette, who plays with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, just won the Super

00:25:28.240 Bowl.

00:25:28.940 He's tweeted out, he doesn't want to get the vaccine.

00:25:32.660 And I just think that what initially started out in corporate sports media was they were

00:25:40.700 going to frame Cole Beasley, this white wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.

00:25:44.940 He was the first to start speaking up.

00:25:48.060 And he was actually doing it probably on behalf of his black teammates who were probably too

00:25:56.520 afraid to speak up because they just don't want to deal with the social media backlash.

00:26:01.300 And so the media was going to frame like, Cole Beasley, he's the only one, it's the white 0.72

00:26:05.420 guys, and he's a Trump supporter, and he's against the vaccine.

00:26:08.860 And so I'm just glad to see DeAndre Hopkins and Leonard Fournette express what I know many

00:26:18.640 black people think and feel. 0.79

00:26:21.860 The data backs it up.

00:26:23.400 That's how we think and feel.

00:26:24.860 So certainly in those NFL locker rooms aren't immune to what the rest of us think and feel.

00:26:31.240 Ezekiel Elliott, you know, the Cowboys running back came out and said, look, man, I grew up

00:26:36.020 in a family where none of us got vaccinated.

00:26:38.560 We just didn't believe in any of the vaccines.

00:26:41.960 And that's prevalent among black people.

00:26:44.940 And we don't, we got to quit being in fear of the social media mob and the left framing 1.00

00:26:52.000 us as idiots or sellouts or whatever. 0.99

00:26:55.940 We got to man up like DeAndre Hopkins and Leonard Fournette and Cole Beasley and speak our truth. 0.99

00:27:01.900 So do you actually believe, you said that this COVID-19 is going to make the Emancipation

00:27:14.060 Proclamation, I'm trying to figure out what, I'm trying to find it.

00:27:17.860 Do you remember what you wrote?

00:27:19.400 Yeah.

00:27:19.840 I said that these restrictions that the NFL are implementing are going to make, they're

00:27:29.640 going to come off like stop and frisk in old New York.

00:27:32.700 They're going to make stop and frisk feel like the Emancipation Proclamation in Juneteenth 0.53

00:27:38.820 wrapped all into one.

00:27:39.860 Oh my gosh.

00:27:41.100 And do you believe that?

00:27:42.520 To some degree, yes.

00:27:45.560 Now look, I'm being entertaining in a column and I want to say things that people remember

00:27:50.320 just like you did.

00:27:51.460 I did remember, well I barely remembered it, but that was the line that stuck out.

00:27:57.240 It's just an analogy.

00:27:58.840 This is the same way we complained about stop and frisk in New York. 0.98

00:28:02.900 It's targeting black people, targeting black people. 1.00

00:28:06.040 This COVID restrictions, it's targeting black NFL players. 0.99

00:28:09.980 The data speaks for itself.

00:28:15.820 Jason, thank you so much.

00:28:17.740 By the way, is it okay to be happy that the Team USA is not doing good?

00:28:26.500 Thank you.

00:28:26.920 I didn't write it in my column, but I was rooting for France.

00:28:35.280 Right.

00:28:35.740 I don't want to see these guys on a medal stand irritating me.

00:28:41.080 So I'd rather them lose than get on the medal stand and do any type of protest and irritate

00:28:45.860 me.

00:28:46.000 Yeah, it just felt wrong because I remember rooting against the Soviet Union and I've never

00:28:51.580 rooted against the American team and I'm kind of there.

00:28:55.220 I'm like, I don't want them to win.

00:28:57.140 I don't want them to win.

00:28:58.640 Thank you so much.

00:28:59.520 I appreciate it.

00:29:00.500 Thank you.

00:29:01.080 You bet.

00:29:01.460 Bye-bye.

00:29:01.820 He knew right where I was going.
