The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： John Jackson ｜ 10⧸16⧸20

00:00:00.000 Oh, man, it's Friday and we have quite a show for you coming up tomorrow.

00:00:05.840 But we release to the general public at 3 p.m.

00:00:08.860 Our podcast with Bill O'Reilly.

00:00:10.540 If you've missed our conversations, you're going to get a great one tomorrow on the podcast.

00:00:14.660 If you're already a Blaze subscriber, you get it.

00:00:17.180 Well, you got it last night.

00:00:18.640 Make sure you make sure you check that out.

00:00:21.400 Today's podcast, we went through the debate.

00:00:24.580 We talked to you and others that watched the debate.

00:00:27.760 But we just weep over how good Savannah Guthrie was.

00:00:36.200 And again, when you say debate, you mean between Savannah Guthrie and Donald Trump.

00:00:39.720 Absolutely.

00:00:40.540 It was crazy.

00:00:42.900 It was absolutely crazy.

00:00:44.800 We have that coming up.

00:00:46.800 Also, my Twitter storm that happened, you don't want to miss.

00:00:51.840 I talk about the accomplishments of Donald Trump.

00:00:55.340 And Stu talks about the accomplishments of the number of dead caused by Governor Cuomo.

00:01:02.900 All on today's podcast.

00:01:04.860 By the way, I think it's the last day you can take advantage of the code save our election to save 20 bucks off your Blaze TV subscription.

00:01:12.440 I will say that we are at a time where we've seen unprecedented tech censorship.

00:01:17.100 You know, without the subscriptions and your subscriptions, we are basically dependent on all of these big tech companies to exist.

00:01:24.340 So we are counting on you.

00:01:26.080 We are counting on you.

00:01:27.100 Save our election.

00:01:28.340 20 bucks off your subscription at BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:01:31.040 Here's the podcast.

00:01:31.520 I want to talk to you a little bit about the debate.

00:01:49.540 We talked about it all last hour.

00:01:51.040 We played some clips from it.

00:01:52.760 But why is it that it seems like the Democrats always get an easier path?

00:02:00.360 And then when you listen to the news, it's like they weren't even watching it.

00:02:05.440 Last night, Donald Trump did very, very well.

00:02:08.020 He stayed calm.

00:02:08.860 They talked about how it was chaos.

00:02:10.580 It was only chaos because Savannah Guthrie kept interrupting the president. 1.00

00:02:14.560 And if you watch Joe Biden, oh, well, it was a very different debate.

00:02:19.820 It was Donald Trump's was hostile and Joe Biden's was not.

00:02:25.160 It was a very different feel.

00:02:26.820 Well, yeah.

00:02:27.520 Who made it hostile?

00:02:29.520 It wasn't Donald Trump.

00:02:31.080 Donald Trump was being corrected and attacked and cut off constantly.

00:02:36.620 And he pushed back, which he should do.

00:02:38.920 But there was no reason for Joe Biden to push back because he was being questioned by a friendly.

00:02:43.020 Yes.

00:02:44.560 So how friendly are they?

00:02:47.680 Well, let me just give you let me just give you in social media.

00:02:51.360 Now, remember, we trust the social media world to be able to to share stories.

00:02:56.680 Well, we learned this week you can't share stories.

00:02:59.900 The blaze the blaze was flagged for advertising a show about election fraud.

00:03:07.840 We were throttled and flagged for an ad for a tweeting out a message that said you have to watch tonight's show.

00:03:20.660 It's on election fraud.

00:03:21.720 Wait, what?

00:03:24.780 We were flagged because headlines can be misread headlines can be deceiving.

00:03:30.680 You need more context here.

00:03:33.020 Yes.

00:03:33.520 And we have it at 9 p.m.

00:03:35.680 Eastern.

00:03:36.680 I mean, excuse me.

00:03:38.900 So why is this happening?

00:03:42.120 Well, let's just go through some of the people that work at these places.

00:03:46.620 Jack Dorsey.

00:05:27.620 Brandon Borman, VP of global communications.

00:05:31.260 He donated thousands recently to Joe Biden, was the media spokesman for the decision to fact check Trump's tweets.

00:05:38.220 Those are the people at Twitter.

00:05:43.200 Where are the where are all the conservatives?

00:05:48.900 Here's Facebook.

00:05:50.380 Mark Zuckerberg donated some to Republicans, but mainly Democrats is currently donating all the voting boxes.

00:05:57.780 So you can you can go to a Facebook box and just stuff your ballot in there.

00:06:04.820 Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer, donated prime primarily to Democrats, openly Democrat and endorsed Hillary Clinton.

00:06:13.760 Andy Stone, the policy communications director at Facebook.

00:07:15.960 She worked on the on principal deputy counsel in that office under the vice president Biden from 2012 to 2014.

00:07:25.440 I don't know, Stu.

00:07:27.260 What do you I mean, is there a have you noticed a trend with all of the people that are in senior positions?

00:07:35.160 At Facebook or Twitter.

00:07:37.360 Almost too far right.

00:07:39.740 Is this what I think?

00:07:40.640 Well, that's one way of looking at it.

00:07:43.000 And I'm sure the press would look at it that way.

00:07:45.220 You think there'd be some.

00:07:47.180 This is something that this is a crazy concept.

00:07:49.480 Diversity.

00:07:51.060 Diversity of thought.

00:07:52.300 Diversity.

00:07:52.860 No, no.

00:07:53.600 It's just not.

00:07:54.220 It's not necessary.

00:07:55.260 No.

00:07:55.440 Well, they actually, I believe, think they are diverse because they might have, you know, some Hillary Clinton supporters in there.

00:08:05.300 You know, so, you know, so you go from Antifa to Hillary Clinton.

00:08:10.980 Wow.

00:08:11.160 Yeah.

00:08:11.400 So they have the whole spectrum there.

00:08:13.340 Yeah.

00:08:13.660 It's interesting.

00:08:14.140 I was listening to somebody, some podcast, I think, and it was a liberal who was talking about this and kind of complaining about the woke culture in that sort of world.

00:08:24.480 And explain it, I thought, in an interesting way where liberals and the people on the left inherently understand that if you don't have any black people or Hispanics or women at a workplace, there's a lack of diversity.

00:08:45.280 You're not getting all those different viewpoints.

00:08:47.740 They inherently get that.

00:08:48.920 And if you were to say, I'm just going to hire all white people, they would inherently say that's a terrible thing, right? 0.68

00:08:54.480 However, when it comes to actual differences in thought, not skin color, which is, you know, it doesn't necessarily form your viewpoints, your actual differences in thought, they can't understand why you'd even include someone who's just moderately left, let alone a conservative.

00:09:13.500 You don't want any of those people around.

00:09:15.280 Everyone has to agree.

00:09:16.380 Everyone has to understand that sexual preference is now an insult.

00:09:20.100 Like, all of these things have to, there's these hardcore rules.

00:09:23.640 You can't break any of them.

00:09:25.380 Anyone with any different opinion needs to be, you know, expunged, as Keith Olbermann would explain.

00:09:33.240 That's not healthy.

00:09:33.760 I like the way you overpronounced it, too.

00:09:36.020 Expunged.

00:09:37.320 There's like an extra G in there?

00:09:39.020 What happened?

00:09:39.900 But that is, I think that's the way that they think.

00:09:41.940 And, you know, I think you'd think that these social media companies who, again, get half of their money from conservatives clicking on ads would understand this and want to please that audience.

00:09:54.980 But they don't seem to be doing that.

00:09:57.440 Well, because it's about race.

00:09:59.540 The only thing that is diverse is sexual, dare I say, preference.

00:10:04.480 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:04.960 And race.

00:10:05.480 Yeah, you were about to say it, right?

00:10:07.160 Sexual orientation. 0.59

00:10:08.340 Yeah, that's the only differences.

00:10:11.380 They don't think that a difference in opinion is important.

00:10:19.280 A difference in opinion has to be stopped because they know the truth. 0.97

00:10:25.480 And the truth is, all white people are racist, so I see people by race. 0.99

00:10:31.440 I mean, they are by definition racist. 0.99

00:10:36.100 Now, not the, you know, Klan sort of racist, I don't think. 0.92

00:10:39.580 Although, when it comes to Jews, many on the left are the Nazi kind of racist. 0.72

00:10:46.000 However, they are racist because that's the only filter they see. 0.96

00:10:51.820 They disagree with Martin Luther King.

00:10:53.940 And what Martin Luther King said was, judge me by who I am, what I do, what my character is.

00:11:01.380 Judge me by my skills and my talent and my character and what I can do.

00:11:07.240 They hate that.

00:11:08.360 They hate that.

00:11:09.540 Just like they used to love sexual preference, and now they hate it.

00:11:13.080 Look at the writings of Ibram Kendi, who outwardly explains this and says, 0.91

00:11:18.660 you should be discriminating against white people. 1.00

00:11:21.300 I think he basically describes it as the people who created the system.

00:11:25.120 But he's, you know, implicit and explicit at times, saying that that's just white people, right?

00:11:30.780 So, the only way to solve those problems that he sees from the past, real and imagined,

00:11:36.340 is to, as he says, discriminate in the future.

00:11:40.940 Discriminate in the present.

00:11:44.060 Discriminate.

00:11:44.520 He's advocating for discrimination.

00:11:47.120 And his book is on the shelves at every target in America right now.

00:11:51.040 On the end cap, by the way, in most of them.

00:11:54.520 So, if you're going by, if you're walking through a target, you're going to see Anti-Racist Baby by Ibram X. Kendi.

00:11:59.240 And these are the things he's advocating and targeting babies with.

00:12:06.660 Well, white babies. 0.97

00:12:08.180 Yeah, because, you know, white babies, that's true. 1.00

00:12:10.540 I guess people, babies of color do not need this information. 0.97

00:12:14.640 Right, right. 0.99

00:12:15.240 But white babies do. 1.00

00:12:16.280 Because they can't be racist. 0.98

00:12:17.160 Right. 0.99

00:12:17.320 White babies are racist from birth, so you have to start teaching them that. 1.00

00:12:20.880 These are unhealthy practices, Glenn, for a society. 0.99

00:12:23.380 They really are.

00:12:24.380 It is everything, if you were looking to destroy a society, which they are, it's everything that you would say you wanted to do.

00:12:34.900 I mean, I saw the Communist Party USA from the 1920s, their list of things they felt they had to do to destroy America.

00:12:47.760 It's everything that's happening right now.

00:12:50.320 Everything that's happening right now.

00:12:52.400 Oh, that's a conspiracy theory.

00:12:54.380 Really?

00:12:55.200 Because there were like 15 things on the list, and every one of them have been done.

00:13:00.600 What are the odds that that just mysteriously happened that way?

00:13:05.520 Nothing was done to stop the destruction of America by its foes internally, but all of the foes list, that was done? 0.90

00:13:16.760 Wow.

00:13:17.580 What a coincidence.

00:13:19.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:24.900 Oh, yeah.

00:13:31.620 It was quite the rodeo last night.

00:13:35.960 That's why we wanted to bring Mr. Pat Gray in from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup, along with his cowboy orchestra.

00:13:43.960 Hello, Pat.

00:13:44.720 Yeah, that's not the name of the show, nor do I have an orchestra.

00:13:48.040 You do have cowboys, though.

00:13:49.520 Oh, yeah.

00:13:50.120 You have a band, though.

00:13:51.200 Yeah.

00:13:51.900 No.

00:13:52.760 No?

00:13:53.320 No.

00:13:54.660 Well, I saw a big fat tuba sitting in there the other day.

00:13:57.540 No, no tubas.

00:13:58.440 Was that Jeffy?

00:13:59.200 That was Jeffy.

00:13:59.800 Okay, all right.

00:14:00.540 That was Jeffy.

00:14:01.020 All right, so anyway, when you watch what happened, and then you listen to the report the next day, I swear to you they were watching something else.

00:14:13.680 Oh, absolutely.

00:14:14.660 I mean, yeah.

00:14:15.500 And isn't it interesting that they just replaced the Trump-Biden debate with Trump-Guthrie?

00:14:20.920 Oh, yeah.

00:14:21.980 That's just amazing.

00:14:23.820 She's debating the president.

00:14:25.180 First 20 minutes.

00:14:26.080 This is supposed to be a town hall.

00:14:27.820 Yeah.

00:14:27.980 And you notice that they asked Joe Biden all of these questions about Donald Trump.

00:14:34.160 Not a single question about the news that broke this week on Hunter Biden.

00:14:38.620 Nope.

00:14:39.020 Not a single question about all the documents that have come out.

00:14:42.000 Unconscionable.

00:14:42.760 Unconscionable.

00:14:43.560 All the documents that have come out in the last four weeks.

00:14:46.420 Not a single question.

00:14:48.080 And are you guys with me on this?

00:14:49.400 I actually don't have a problem with Savannah Guthrie going after the president like that if Biden also gets that treatment. 1.00

00:14:56.600 Yes, I agree.

00:14:56.960 I don't mind.

00:14:57.880 I don't necessarily mind tough questions and them going back and even correcting it in time.

00:15:03.120 Tim Russert was the best.

00:15:04.960 You thought he hated that guy.

00:15:07.600 And then he turned to the other guy and you were like, I think he hates him too.

00:15:12.220 It was balanced.

00:15:13.680 Yeah.

00:15:13.940 It was balanced.

00:15:14.620 The tough questions on each side.

00:15:16.540 And Trump handled her, I thought, very easily when she was coming after me.

00:15:20.820 No, no, he didn't.

00:15:22.560 No, he didn't.

00:15:23.540 No, he didn't.

00:15:24.840 No, I listened to NPR and the New York Times today. 0.89

00:15:27.880 Oh, no, it showed his ugly side. 0.98

00:15:30.040 He showed his ugly side again. 0.99

00:15:31.900 Oh, yeah. 0.96

00:15:32.840 She didn't show any ugliness at all.

00:15:34.640 No, she, according to CNN's Brian Stelter, it's the work of her career.

00:15:42.280 Yeah.

00:15:43.000 It's believable.

00:15:44.160 There is this lack of effort at this point to even attempt for journalists to remain fair.

00:15:51.060 Oh, I know.

00:15:51.080 To have any sort of objectivity.

00:15:52.540 They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

00:15:53.940 Oh, no.

00:15:54.400 There's two weeks left.

00:15:55.220 They just got to get this job done.

00:15:56.260 Yeah.

00:15:56.340 And once they get him out of office, they can try to fake that they're journalists again.

00:15:59.200 And you know what?

00:15:59.640 Even if somebody thought, I should be fair, I should ask him questions about Joe Biden's son.

00:16:08.580 Okay?

00:16:08.780 Because that's the big news.

00:16:09.660 Even if they thought they should be fair, they never would because they know they'd return to the newsroom and they would be an outcast.

00:16:19.180 Yeah.

00:16:19.800 And they look at themselves from 2016, and I've heard so many of them admit this on podcasts and articles and everything else.

00:16:26.820 They think they spent too much time on Hillary Clinton's emails, and that's the reason why Hillary Clinton lost.

00:16:33.960 So we can't do that again.

00:16:36.020 And they've just given up on trying to show both sides.

00:16:39.520 Like, I think in 2016, their mindset was, Hillary's going to win. 0.90

00:16:43.300 So let's throw some articles out there about some, you know, little scandal, and we'll throw that out there so we can say we criticized both sides or we covered both sides.

00:16:53.220 And now they're like, well, last time we did that, it didn't work.

00:16:56.060 So now we just have to go all out.

00:16:57.720 Like, we cannot even, we can't even ask a question about Hunter Biden.

00:17:02.380 It's not, what's so scary is it's not just the press who feels that way.

00:17:06.840 We know Google, Facebook, Twitter, they all felt the same way.

00:17:12.720 They said it right after.

00:17:14.460 We can't allow this to happen again.

00:17:16.940 So everyone is pulling out every stop, and they don't care because they think Donald Trump is so bad that the ends justify the means.

00:17:28.960 It doesn't matter what principle they violate.

00:17:32.180 They will violate it. 0.99

00:17:34.280 It's pathetic. 0.99

00:17:35.360 It's scary. 1.00

00:17:35.980 And again, for the millionth time, Savannah Guthrie acting as if the president has never denounced white supremacy.

00:17:44.440 And again, for the millionth time, we just played a thing this week, and maybe you guys did too, the 17 times it's been documented where he's denounced.

00:17:53.940 Do you have it, Stephen or Sarah?

00:17:54.900 Go ahead and pull that up if you have it.

00:17:56.220 Let me know.

00:17:56.640 I mean, over and over and over and over he's denounced white supremacy, the KKK, David Duke.

00:18:03.260 I mean, he literally got out of a party in the year 2000 because David Duke got into it and took it over.

00:18:12.440 And that's when he left.

00:18:13.540 I forget.

00:18:14.160 The reform party.

00:18:14.540 Reform party.

00:18:15.320 Yeah.

00:18:15.460 And so, again, last night, he clearly and definitively denounced it all.

00:18:21.980 And she acted like, why have you waited so long?

00:18:25.400 It's unbelievable.

00:18:26.740 It's unbelievable.

00:18:27.280 He did it in the interview that they said he never, he said just good people on both sides.

00:18:35.100 He said the sentence before, look.

00:18:40.940 And I'm not talking about the white supremacists.

00:18:42.860 Right. 1.00

00:18:43.420 They should be condemned. 0.99

00:18:44.960 I'm not talking about white supremacists and Nazis and people like that. 0.99

00:18:48.720 They should be condemned. 0.98

00:18:49.820 What I'm saying, quiet.

00:18:51.880 I was there.

00:18:53.080 I saw the same things you saw.

00:18:55.760 There were good people on both sides that were there.

00:18:59.600 Right.

00:19:00.200 Right.

00:19:02.040 How is that different than Antifa when they're saying, no, there were good people there.

00:19:09.540 That was a protest.

00:19:10.540 You know how it's different?

00:19:11.800 They won't say that.

00:19:14.760 I'm not talking about the rioters and those throwing Molotov cocktails and crying for the shooting of cops.

00:19:21.120 I'm not talking about those.

00:19:22.360 Those people should be condemned. 0.87

00:19:24.260 I'm talking about the good people that were there to march for black lives. 0.98

00:19:30.400 They don't say that.

00:19:31.780 They don't have to say it.

00:19:32.600 They don't have to.

00:19:33.220 Everyone implies.

00:19:34.100 Everyone understands.

00:19:35.060 Of course, they don't.

00:19:35.720 They don't think anything bad.

00:19:37.080 And we keep forgetting that even during the debate, the first thing he said when the question was asked about whether or not he denounces white supremacy was, sure.

00:19:46.860 Sure.

00:19:47.600 And he said it then two more times.

00:19:49.180 Yeah.

00:19:49.400 Later on.

00:19:50.580 He said it three times.

00:19:52.540 He denounced it when they say he didn't.

00:19:54.760 And again, you know, we're rehashing, I guess, this stuff again.

00:19:57.900 But it's like the wording used in the question during the debate was, will you ask them to stand down?

00:20:03.100 And he said, stand back and stand by, which seems like he basically butchered.

00:20:08.180 He was trying to just quote the same language.

00:20:10.080 No, no, Donald Trump ever butchers things like that.

00:20:11.460 He always does.

00:20:12.940 No, no, he doesn't.

00:20:14.320 Last thing they asked him.

00:20:15.120 No, he doesn't.

00:20:15.540 He is a perfect orator.

00:20:18.300 He is.

00:20:18.940 He's a perfect orator.

00:20:20.040 When he crafts his words, he thinks, he pauses.

00:20:24.260 Yes.

00:20:24.700 He's deliberate.

00:20:26.000 We all know this.

00:20:27.160 Yesterday they asked him, they're like, you know, they asked him a health care question.

00:20:29.960 And he said, the problem with Obamacare is that it's very bad.

00:20:33.840 And the problem with Obamacare, in the same answer about 30 seconds later, and the problem with Obamacare is it's not good.

00:20:39.680 It's not great.

00:20:41.020 Well, those are, I agree with both of those things.

00:20:43.400 It's not quite that detailed, but again, this is who, you know, we all understand that about Donald Trump.

00:20:50.140 And I think the press tries to use that against him.

00:20:53.440 The fact that he doesn't word things in precise ways, like stand back and stand by makes no sense to turn it into some sort of called arms.

00:21:01.220 Stand by.

00:21:01.760 If anything, that means don't do anything.

00:21:04.260 Right.

00:21:04.580 But it doesn't make like it.

00:21:06.540 And he's quoting.

00:21:07.880 They just use the language that was used in the question.

00:21:11.520 Right.

00:21:11.640 And he and beyond this, he's done it, as we just talked about, a hundred times already.

00:21:15.780 Yeah.

00:21:16.120 Like if he didn't want to denounce white supremacy, he wouldn't do it over and over and over again.

00:21:21.340 And if he secretly did like white supremacy, he wouldn't just admit it during the debate for the first time.

00:21:28.140 None of this makes any sense.

00:21:29.500 I have to tell you, too, I don't know why nobody asked Joe Biden to denounce Antifa, which is currently burning cities down and making threats online that they are going to be even worse after the election.

00:21:46.660 He's not asked a single question.

00:21:48.960 But QAnon?

00:21:50.540 I don't even know what QAnon really is.

00:21:53.300 I know.

00:21:53.600 I don't know the whole thing.

00:21:54.920 Neither does anybody else.

00:21:55.980 Nobody knows.

00:21:57.060 Nobody knows this.

00:21:58.800 And so when he's asked about it, will you condemn them?

00:22:01.260 I don't know anything really about them.

00:22:02.980 I know they're against pedophilia and pedophiles.

00:22:06.280 Right.

00:22:06.880 Yeah.

00:22:07.120 That's about all I know.

00:22:08.720 And they also think that there's a deep state.

00:22:11.540 Well, that one's right.

00:22:14.220 But I don't know if they're right about it.

00:22:16.220 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:16.760 Yeah, I have no idea.

00:22:17.780 And he actually made this point to Savannah Guthrie, which was, you know, just because you say it doesn't mean it's fact.

00:22:22.880 When he was talking, I think it was about QAnon when he was saying it.

00:22:25.980 And it's like, well, if I just accept your analysis of this group, I don't know anything about.

00:22:31.160 Then I am denouncing a group and I might find out later that you're lying to me about it.

00:22:37.900 Yeah.

00:22:38.160 Well, that's why he doesn't lie.

00:22:39.960 He did that with Proud Boys.

00:22:41.100 Proud Boys, right.

00:22:41.640 He doesn't know anything about Proud Boys.

00:22:42.760 And they're not racist. 0.98

00:22:43.720 Their leader is black. 0.98

00:22:45.580 Yeah. 1.00

00:22:46.140 Their leader is black. 0.97

00:22:49.160 How does that work out? 0.95

00:22:51.280 There were plenty of black leaders of the KKK, Glenn.

00:22:53.740 No, there weren't.

00:22:54.780 No, they weren't.

00:22:55.280 Those were the ones, well, they had a stake in it.

00:22:58.620 Yes, they were tied to the stake and burnt.

00:23:02.740 I mean, geez.

00:23:04.500 Again, do I think he knows a little bit more about Q?

00:23:07.320 He probably does.

00:23:08.400 He knows it's built out of his supporters and he doesn't want to come out and bash them.

00:23:12.220 There's probably some element to that.

00:23:14.120 But again, like no one knows or cares about this topic.

00:23:19.440 This is not an important topic.

00:23:21.140 There was some poll I saw today that it's something like 25% of Americans have ever even heard of it.

00:23:28.520 Why the hell is this in a presidential debate?

00:23:31.020 I mean, if anything, you're just drawing people to go look at what the hell this is.

00:23:35.600 And some percentage of them are going to find it and think it's true and get involved in it.

00:23:40.040 And how many white supremacists are there?

00:23:42.140 It's like they're everywhere if you're to listen to the mainstream media and I never see them.

00:23:46.780 Excuse me.

00:23:47.300 I never see them.

00:23:48.240 Oh, wow.

00:23:48.720 Did you see that video in Charlottesville?

00:23:49.720 He's saying that there's good people on both sides with torches.

00:23:53.360 Both of you.

00:23:54.680 I mean, you haven't recognized the racism that is in you. 0.93

00:23:59.280 You're both white. 1.00

00:24:00.440 So you're both racist. 0.99

00:24:02.480 So you're, I don't know, who's a white supremacist? 0.96

00:24:04.640 I don't know. 0.95

00:24:05.480 Look in the mirror, whitey. 1.00

00:24:07.000 And meanwhile, over on ABC, George Stephanopoulos.

00:24:15.220 Now, now think, do you think Bill O'Reilly would ever be allowed to host a debate?

00:24:24.920 Now, he's just a guy from Fox.

00:24:27.160 But when he was on Fox, Bill O'Reilly used to piss me off.

00:24:30.420 I mean, he would say things and he would support things and he was so up with, you know, with Barack Obama there during the Obama administration, not seeing any of these connections.

00:24:41.500 He's a guy who actually, I think, has given people a fair shake when they're on.

00:24:47.540 Are you kidding me?

00:24:49.440 They would never let him hold a debate or host a debate.

00:24:53.780 They would never accept it.

00:24:56.440 George Stephanopoulos, the guy who was the spin master in the Hillary Clinton campaign and has been their spin master forever.

00:25:06.220 However, he's asking the questions.

00:25:08.800 It's amazing.

00:25:10.640 I mean, he brought up Russell, who was also a Democrat.

00:25:14.160 Yeah, but he never came from that perspective.

00:25:18.180 And, you know, maybe you could make that transition.

00:25:20.820 But has Stephanopoulos successfully done that?

00:25:23.240 No.

00:25:23.720 I mean, the last guy they were going to have, you know, do a debate.

00:25:28.000 He got suspended because he was lying about being hacked on Twitter while he was trying to communicate with Scaramucci.

00:25:35.760 Yeah, he's trying to get dirt on Donald Trump.

00:25:40.240 He was supposed to be the moderator.

00:25:41.960 He's from C-SPAN.

00:25:43.900 And he's trying to get dirt on Donald Trump so he can add that dirt from Scaramucci.

00:25:49.340 All right.

00:25:50.120 Wow.

00:25:51.020 Then he says, that's not true.

00:25:53.100 Someone stole my, and the FBI is on it, and they're hoping to find out who hacked into my computer.

00:25:58.540 Well, the FBI did get on it.

00:26:00.600 Uh-oh.

00:26:00.920 And it shows now that he was lying about it.

00:26:03.980 So yesterday, he had to admit that he lied about his computer.

00:26:08.600 Otherwise, I think he was going to jail.

00:26:10.300 He still should go to jail for lying to the FBI.

00:26:13.320 He was supposed to moderate a presidential debate last night.

00:26:17.500 Yeah.

00:26:17.880 This man has now been suspended because he was lying and trying to get dirt on the president.

00:26:24.000 This is how bad this is.

00:26:25.440 This is not a made-up problem.

00:26:27.280 It is a legitimate problem.

00:26:28.600 Watch those two debates, two town halls last night.

00:26:32.480 Donald Trump was constantly being attacked by Savannah Guthrie and interrupted.

00:26:37.720 Constantly.

00:26:38.480 And I'm not necessarily opposed to that.

00:26:40.620 But I am opposed to it when the opposite on the other channel, Joe Biden is basically being hugged.

00:26:46.780 It was like a night.

00:26:47.700 It was a warm gathering.

00:26:49.060 He had plenty of time to explain himself.

00:26:50.820 No one called out anything that he said as wrong.

00:26:53.700 Nobody came out with tough questions about the main news stories that were out there, critical of the campaign.

00:26:59.720 His China policy.

00:27:00.800 Nothing.

00:27:01.440 They actually came out.

00:27:02.820 I've got to take a break.

00:27:03.840 They actually came out this morning and said what Joe Biden is saying about the Supreme Court.

00:27:11.840 He said he'll have to wait and see what happens.

00:27:14.700 What he's saying is the system is so broken that if he's going to fix it, yes, he may pack the court, but he'll take the hits for it and he'll be a four-year president.

00:27:27.280 And everybody can hate him, but that's what you have to do to fix America.

00:27:31.900 That was their analysis on the New York Times Daily today.

00:27:36.800 I mean, it's incredible.

00:27:38.940 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:27:47.380 John Jackson, he is the owner of the Heroes American Cafe.

00:27:52.780 This is in Portland, Oregon, and he has this cafe that supports heroes.

00:27:59.640 I mean, he's a former Marine.

00:28:02.020 He's a black guy, so you know.

00:28:04.320 And he supports the police and any of the first responders, et cetera, et cetera. 0.87

00:28:10.880 Well, Antifa doesn't like that too much.

00:28:14.320 So Antifa last week began compiling a list of all of the, let me see, non-friendly businesses in Portland, a.k.a.

00:28:24.540 any company, I'm quoting them, any company that's hanging Blue Lives garbage in their store or anything else that's anti the BLM movement. 0.55

00:28:31.820 Well, somebody said Heroes American Cafe on South Park blocks gives profits to their heroes, cops.

00:28:41.040 Well, somebody called him and then violence began and we talked to him now.

00:28:47.380 Welcome to the program, John.

00:28:49.660 Thank you, Glenn.

00:28:50.660 I appreciate you having me on.

00:28:52.540 You bet.

00:28:53.740 So tell me, the phone call came in a few days before you were shot at.

00:28:59.640 Tell me about it.

00:29:01.820 Yeah, we got a phone call and we kind of just thought it was kind of a random kind of crank call.

00:29:08.080 So we just dismissed it.

00:29:09.780 We really didn't think, we gave it no validity whatsoever until after the event.

00:29:16.320 Then we kind of looked back and said, wow, maybe we should have thought about it a little more.

00:29:22.180 What would you have done?

00:29:24.160 I mean, you can't call police there.

00:29:25.700 Do they take it seriously?

00:29:26.720 I think the police are understaffed, overwhelmed and somewhat misguided on their focus.

00:29:36.960 So they're following around Antifa and the rioters and not answering 911 calls.

00:29:43.100 So they wouldn't have responded in any case.

00:29:45.160 They didn't respond to shots fired.

00:29:47.660 So they never responded to shots fired.

00:29:52.620 They eventually came out about two days later.

00:29:55.680 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:57.480 Yeah, they didn't respond.

00:29:59.700 We we called 911 three or four times.

00:30:03.300 We watched them drive around the block just following the protesters.

00:30:08.040 And eventually we flagged a supervisor down and he jumped out very friendly cop, three other officers with him.

00:30:17.740 And we showed him and he was concerned and he called it in and still no response.

00:30:23.000 What what what what what does that tell you?

00:30:24.780 What's what's happening there?

00:30:25.840 It tells me that the leadership is misguided.

00:30:32.100 The focus is misguided.

00:30:34.260 I think the tolerance for violence is is at an all time high.

00:30:40.880 I think that that shots fired.

00:30:45.600 You know, I've told a lot of people that they would have threw a rock through my window or, you know, threw a chair through it.

00:30:52.720 That's one thing.

00:30:54.260 But to see bullet holes in your in your storefront, that takes you back, you know, about 50 years in this country.

00:31:02.400 Yes, it does.

00:31:03.180 So tell me, you were sitting right where one of the bullets went through just before the shooting happened.

00:31:11.520 Right.

00:31:11.880 You and your son.

00:31:13.860 Yeah, we were.

00:31:15.820 We I worked that day with my son, my 11 year old son.

00:31:20.260 And we were right where the book where one of the window panes, the bullet, penetrated a couple hours earlier.

00:31:29.320 And this happened on the indigenous people's day of rage. 0.99

00:31:35.060 Which was Sunday.

00:31:36.400 Whatever that is.

00:31:41.780 Yeah, that's.

00:31:43.100 Yeah, that takes that's a whole nother story, I guess.

00:31:46.900 So are you tell me about yourself, if you don't mind, are you a conservative in Portland?

00:31:53.300 I didn't think they had any.

00:31:54.960 Or are you an independent?

00:31:57.440 What?

00:31:57.960 Tell me about yourself.

00:32:00.540 You know, when it comes to politics, I'm really more of an independent thinker.

00:32:05.540 I don't carry a card for any party.

00:32:08.880 Good for you.

00:32:09.320 Um, I've, I've, uh, voted and this would be my 10th presidential election and I'm probably

00:32:16.140 right down the middle, um, on one side or the other.

00:32:19.940 Um, this time, uh, last time, you know, cause you're going to ask me, so I'll just get right

00:32:25.000 into it.

00:32:25.740 Last time, um, I really voted against Hillary more than I voted for Trump.

00:32:33.160 To be quite honest.

00:32:35.180 Right.

00:32:35.400 Um, this time it's quite different.

00:32:37.740 I call that the honeymoon period.

00:32:39.740 This time we're married.

00:32:41.660 Mm-hmm.

00:32:43.460 And did this play a role in that?

00:32:47.560 Oh, this, this actually, I was, I was leaning toward Trump, uh, just looking at the record

00:32:54.740 of, uh, Joe Biden, you know, 47 years, um, in politics and, you know, just couldn't see

00:33:01.680 any landmark, um, uh, things that, that he accomplished over those years.

00:33:09.280 And, um, and, you know, I think about Trump and the things that president Trump has done,

00:33:15.440 um, in a very hostile environment.

00:33:18.420 I mean, I wouldn't want to be, to be quite honest.

00:33:21.000 And, you know, he's, he's not perfect, just like I'm not perfect and you're not perfect,

00:33:25.520 but he's, he's done a pretty damn good job.

00:33:28.960 So why do you, I mean, have you been for this movement or just tolerated it, or you kind

00:33:37.100 of numb inside with this movement?

00:33:39.860 I mean, I really, and I think most Americans don't understand where the people of Portland

00:33:46.280 are who don't believe in, you know, burning the city down to the ground.

00:33:53.260 Well, I, I could tell you, um, this, this particular experience has shown me, um, because I, I didn't

00:34:01.860 know the answer to that question until just three, three or four days ago.

00:34:05.640 The people of Portland are the same as they've always been.

00:34:09.000 The people of Portland really are good people.

00:34:12.120 And the people of Oregon are good, solid people.

00:34:14.720 These aren't the people of Portland.

00:34:16.820 These are all imported people. 1.00

00:34:18.880 These are agitators, instigators, and, uh, factions that are, that are focused on Portland.

00:34:25.340 The people of Portland have, uh, they risen to the occasion with heroes.

00:34:31.340 To, to be honest, I haven't got one, one hate email from anyone in Portland.

00:34:37.980 We've gotten love from Portland.

00:34:39.440 So it really has, uh, shown me that the people of Portland are against violence.

00:34:45.040 These aren't the people of Portland.

00:34:46.640 So you have, I mean, we've, at least in the other parts of the country, think you have a really bad mayor.

00:34:53.100 But you are, I mean, the woman that is now running, uh, for mayor is even worse. 1.00

00:35:00.100 I mean, she's full-fledged Antifa, uh, full-fledged Marxist.

00:35:06.720 Is she going to win?

00:35:09.440 I hope not.

00:35:11.500 Uh, I don't know how that happens.

00:35:13.300 Um, you know, that's, that's, uh, jumping out of the pot into the fire.

00:35:18.280 Uh, I, I would agree, uh, Ted Wheeler.

00:35:21.340 Um, he needs to really, really, um, lead better and, and be more deliberate in what he does

00:35:31.480 and more focused and clean this mess up.

00:35:34.760 But I've heard exactly what you just referred to, that she's full-fledged. 0.90

00:35:41.380 That doesn't make any sense to me.

00:35:44.080 No.

00:35:44.760 Is there something, there's there a line that, that, uh, will be crossed or could be crossed

00:35:49.980 that would say, I'm out.

00:35:51.860 I'm just out.

00:35:52.480 I'm not going to have my family here anymore.

00:35:54.200 For me?

00:35:57.020 Yeah.

00:36:00.320 I would say that line doesn't exist because we're, we're not made that way.

00:36:06.780 Marines aren't made that way.

00:36:08.220 And my family's not made that way.

00:36:10.260 We're not going to be victimized and terrorized to, to leave.

00:36:14.780 If we leave, it'll be for different reasons.

00:36:16.460 It won't be because of, um, the, the things that are going on now.

00:36:21.560 As far as the city goes, I think that, uh, the people of Portland, um, they will put a

00:36:29.540 referendum up or they're going to do something.

00:36:31.740 We, we need to get a strong mayor.

00:36:33.520 We need to get a mayor that can lead. 0.90

00:36:35.500 And, uh, we need to turn this back into the beautiful city it once was.

00:36:39.340 Yeah.

00:36:39.880 Portland is beautiful.

00:36:41.240 Really, truly beautiful.

00:36:42.740 Thank you so much.

00:36:44.020 I really appreciate your time.

00:36:45.760 I'm glad you're safe.

00:36:47.140 Uh, and, uh, it's good talking to you, John.

00:36:49.700 Stay safe up there in Portland.

00:36:51.740 Can I say one last thing?

00:36:53.320 Sure you can.

00:36:55.020 Please, everyone get out and vote.

00:36:57.240 And once we vote, let's stand behind whoever wins.

00:37:00.720 Let's, let's stop this divisiveness and get some stuff done.

00:37:03.980 Thank you so much.
