The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guest： Mike Pompeo ｜ 6⧸15⧸21

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Pat Gray for Stu on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:02.640 Today on the podcast, we'll speak with Mike Pompeo

00:00:05.680 and talk about CAVPAC or the Champion American Values PAC.

00:00:11.420 Their goal is to support conservative candidates

00:00:14.680 ahead of the midterm election and the 2024 presidential election.

00:00:19.360 Also, President Biden continues to make the U.S. look bad

00:00:23.540 while he's hanging around the Europeans at the G7 summit.

00:00:27.420 A local Fox reporter revealed on air

00:00:31.100 that she's been secretly working with Project Veritas

00:00:33.940 and is working towards exposing the company for silencing the reporters.

00:00:38.320 Apparently, she's going to release behind-the-scenes footage.

00:00:41.180 We'll also look at what cases the Supreme Court is taking on soon.

00:00:44.940 And finally, Glenn is hosting his first art show in Park City,

00:00:49.140 the Park City Fine Art, with all proceeds going to Mercury One

00:00:53.020 and the American Journey Experience Museum.

00:00:55.660 And guaranteed, that'll be better than Hunter Biden's finger paintings.

00:00:59.480 All this and lots more coming up today on the podcast.

00:01:09.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:13.900 I am thrilled to have the former U.S. Secretary of State, former CIA Director,

00:01:23.620 and Chairman of CAVPAC, which he'll talk about here in just a second,

00:01:28.440 Mike Pompeo on with us.

00:01:30.640 Hello, Mike. How are you?

00:01:32.700 Good morning, Glenn.

00:01:33.780 It's great to be with you on your show today.

00:01:36.720 Thank you very much.

00:01:37.800 I appreciate it, and I really, sincerely mean I really appreciate everything you have done

00:01:45.960 for the country and, honestly, for the world, especially Israel and the Middle East.

00:01:51.620 What you guys pulled off is absolutely amazing,

00:01:55.220 and I hate to see it torpedoed like it's being, but thank you for that.

00:02:01.280 Well, Glenn, thank you for the kind words.

00:02:03.880 We did do good work, important work for the American people,

00:02:07.100 important work for the people of Israel and the relationship between our two countries.

00:02:10.980 It has been, I'll be honest, it has been a tough 140 or whatever the heck number of days it is

00:02:15.240 to watch them already begin to undo what was really going to create prosperity and peace in the region.

00:02:20.440 I think the Abraham Accords will withstand it, but it's going to take a lot of effort, 0.95

00:02:24.760 a lot of effort from people who are diligent in making sure that those relationships don't deteriorate

00:02:29.600 under this administration.

00:02:30.600 I have to tell you, you know, Joe Biden, even going in to meet with Putin,

00:02:38.720 is a little like Minnie Mouse trying to have a civil conversation with Peg Leg Pete.

00:02:43.700 I mean, there's no strength there at all.

00:02:48.300 No strength.

00:02:49.900 How do you suggest those meetings are going to go?

00:02:53.100 There's a lot of risk, Glenn.

00:02:56.800 These are high stakes things.

00:02:58.100 I watched President Trump go through it when I met with Chairman Kim.

00:03:00.880 These were big events.

00:03:02.700 You had to be ready.

00:03:04.120 It was really sad because the setup is always so important.

00:03:07.440 Here the setup was we began by joining the Paris Climate Accords,

00:03:11.340 telling Vladimir Putin he'll be the world's biggest energy producer.

00:03:15.040 And by lifting some sanctions on some of his buddies,

00:03:18.240 it's not that we can't find places we can work with Vladimir Putin.

00:03:21.200 We certainly did, but you've got to be clear and you've got to be tough

00:03:24.380 and you have to be cognizant of the risks and the malign activities engaged.

00:03:29.180 And I fear that that's not what we're going to see in these next 24 hours in this meeting.

00:03:35.340 I have to tell you, I don't know if I'm sure you did see what the president of Poland said,

00:03:43.120 but he's like, nobody in America is consulting with us.

00:03:47.800 And Biden is no Reagan and Putin is not Gorbachev.

00:03:53.740 And we're going to be the ones that pay the price.

00:03:56.420 You know, it's especially poignant coming from the polls.

00:04:01.960 You remember, Glenn, there was the polls and Lecloessa and Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan,

00:04:10.640 who crushed the tyranny from the Soviet Union.

00:04:13.980 And to hear the polls now saying they fear that the United States is not going to be up to the task

00:04:19.660 is really a historical myth and dangerous, not only for the polls in Eastern Europe, but for us as well.

00:04:27.280 So we have so much to cover in so little time.

00:04:29.840 So let me just go through a couple of things.

00:04:31.900 The ransomware attacks.

00:04:33.220 I've never heard a president say, well, it's a private issue and the president should just,

00:04:39.120 or I mean, these companies, they have to decide whether they pay the blackmail.

00:04:44.660 Stunning.

00:04:45.100 Can you tell me, go ahead.

00:04:48.340 Yeah, this is an attack on America.

00:04:50.660 And it came through a commercial attack, right?

00:04:53.760 It came through an attack on a commercial enterprise, but the capacity for pipelines to move product

00:04:59.160 around our East Coast is an American national security interest to suggest for a moment that

00:05:03.980 we're going to hand this over to some private entity.

00:05:06.540 Oh, goodness, it's about like handing over your social media, these big old nasty social media companies.

00:05:11.300 We have to help these businesses protect their systems.

00:05:15.660 And then it has to be a national effort to impose costs on those who put American lives at risk

00:05:21.100 by denying us the bill to move product around our world, our country.

00:05:24.460 So is there a strong enough connection between these hackers and Putin that we know Putin at least

00:05:31.840 knows about it and is okaying it with a wink and a nod?

00:05:35.600 Well, I can't tell you about this particular interest in incident and what we know, because I was out of government.

00:05:42.760 But I could say this all the hallmarks of what took place here suggest this is the folks who are operating from Russian soil 0.97

00:05:49.840 in a space that is almost certainly underwritten by one of Vladimir Putin's buddies, the oligarch system.

00:05:56.280 And Putin at the very least is turning a blind eye to it and probably more.

00:05:59.980 And so it's appropriate to hold Vladimir Putin and the Russians accountable for the actions taking place inside of their own country. 0.92

00:06:07.260 And we've got to do it.

00:06:08.160 There are tools by which we can.

00:06:11.620 Let me just quickly.

00:06:13.940 It looks like, well, it doesn't look like I know it just happened.

00:06:18.500 State Department was investigating COVID and the Wuhan lab and everything else.

00:06:24.860 And Biden just took that and shut that down and moved it over to the CIA.

00:06:31.720 My theory is, is that that way he doesn't have to release anything because it can, you know,

00:06:36.720 intelligence can be, you know, can be held as top secret.

00:06:42.640 Was there evidence on this Wuhan lab when you were in office?

00:06:47.980 And are we ever going to hear what really happened?

00:06:52.100 So Glenn, I have a unique perspective, having led both the CIA and the State Department consecutively.

00:07:00.360 When I was a secretary of state, when the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world by the Chinese Communist Party, 0.99

00:07:06.960 we began to move heaven and earth to try and figure out what happened.

00:07:10.120 We had the tools to try and figure out if this wasn't a part of a bioweapons effort on behalf of the CCP.

00:07:16.020 And we learned a lot.

00:07:17.800 And so, Glenn, while I can't tell your listeners today, we know the answer with certainty.

00:07:20.840 I am confident that this came from the virology lab.

00:07:23.940 We know enough to say that.

00:07:26.200 We also know enough to know they're continuing to cover it up.

00:07:28.340 And so we know plenty to hold them accountable.

00:07:31.020 There's no evidence that this administration wants to confront that.

00:07:34.600 Three million people dead around the world, hundreds of thousands in the United States.

00:07:38.240 Families still here in the United States upended by this thing.

00:07:41.740 Kids having trouble coming out of these lockdown, crazy lockdowns.

00:07:44.840 The Chinese Communist Party has to be made to pay a price at the least a price sufficient to make sure they'll do what they can to make sure something like this never happens again.

00:07:55.940 Talking to Mike Pompeo, you are starting a what's called a CAVPAC, CAV Champion American Values, and also kind of a tip of the hat to your time in the Army as a Calvary officer.

00:08:15.540 But it's CAVPAC, and it is looking to get real conservatives and real conservative candidates into the 2022 cycle.

00:08:28.280 Tell me about it.

00:08:29.160 So, Glenn, I was a businessman in Kansas back in 2010 when Barack Obama was taking our country in the wrong direction.

00:08:37.480 I gave up that wonderful life with my family back in Kansas to go run for Congress to throw Nancy Pelosi out. 0.67

00:08:44.480 This effort is in those same lines.

00:08:46.940 It's my effort from the place that I find myself today to lead.

00:08:50.400 Well, we've called CAVPAC.

00:08:51.720 You're right.

00:08:52.160 What does a CAV do?

00:08:52.940 It rides to the sound of the gun.

00:08:54.200 It alerts.

00:08:54.780 It sounds the siren when there's a real risk to something that matters an awful lot.

00:09:00.060 So we're going to go find conservative candidates, true believers in American workers and our American middle class.

00:09:07.040 We're going to find them, and we're going to help them be successful getting elected, not just to take back the House and the Senate, but city council races.

00:09:14.120 We did a state legislative race in New Hampshire last week.

00:09:16.880 We're helping a fellow out.

00:09:18.160 We've got to make sure that we drive this message and help good candidates get elected.

00:09:23.200 And if you go to CAVPAC.com, I think you'll see there's real action and a real heart for delivering good outcomes for our country.

00:09:31.860 I'll tell you, Mike, I'm not only looking for people that understand the average worker and how business is done,

00:09:42.100 but I'm also looking for somebody who will stand up for the Constitution because that thing is gone.

00:09:47.400 I mean, we are not following it at all, it seems right now.

00:09:51.160 And both parties seem to have, you know, seem to play not an equal part, but a part in ignoring it when they want to.

00:10:02.480 Glenn, there's no doubt the party that I've been a part of for decades now has its own challenges.

00:10:08.760 We've got to confront them.

00:10:09.780 We've got to take them on.

00:10:10.620 When I was at the State Department, we engaged in a mission, you know, to your point, the State Department lost its way talking about human rights.

00:10:18.020 It was talking about things that were crazy.

00:10:20.260 And so we created this commission designed to go back and talk about our founding.

00:10:23.440 What is it that we really believe and why do we believe and how do we put forward these ideas?

00:10:27.480 Trying to get my diplomats around the world to understand that we shouldn't apologize for America.

00:10:32.100 It's this exceptional country.

00:10:33.900 So we went back and regrounded the work that we were doing.

00:10:39.280 That's what America needs.

00:10:40.380 It needs a regrounding in these first principles, the things that you and I learned in schools.

00:10:45.180 We need to go teach them in our schools again.

00:10:47.440 We're not doing that today.

00:10:48.640 If we get that wrong, I joke, but I'm three-quarters serious.

00:10:52.720 I met with the Taliban. 0.72

00:10:53.840 I met with Chairman Kim.

00:10:55.180 The biggest risk today is inside of our schools.

00:10:57.500 If we don't get that right, if we're not brave enough and fearless enough to go stand up and demand that we teach our kids about the greatness of our nation, then this next generation will take us to a path where, you know, as our founders knew, we could lose the republic.

00:11:12.380 So yesterday, I'm big on the Great Reset from the World Economic Forum.

00:11:19.100 I mean, almost every politician around the world in the West is using Build Back Better, which is from the World Economic Forum.

00:11:26.960 Yesterday, Biden gave a speech, and I'm going to talk about it here in a few minutes, but he gave a speech, and he said, you know, for us to be able to best China, we all have to work together.

00:11:40.740 Then he went through the stated goals.

00:11:43.680 All of them were right directly from the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum.

00:11:51.680 Do you think that there is an effort underway, that these corporations and the government are starting to put a little private-public partnership together?

00:12:07.200 Biden continuously says, you know, it's a test.

00:12:12.020 We're going to see in the next couple of years whether or not a democracy like ours can survive against these authoritarian states.

00:12:20.780 They can just move quickly.

00:12:24.480 Glenn, it saddens me when I hear that.

00:12:26.800 That's the story, you know, when President Biden talks about going back, we're back.

00:12:31.740 He means back to Barack Obama.

00:12:33.460 That story that you hear is managing American decline.

00:12:37.980 We can't stop America.

00:12:39.740 We're going to win this.

00:12:41.200 We've got to get it right, and we have to be fearless in doing so.

00:12:44.000 When I hear them say that China presents a challenge, you know, a challenge is figuring out whether you want to go to the store at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock.

00:12:53.260 The threat is the Chinese Communist Party, and I saw the statement that came out this week.

00:12:58.700 You know, it's okay, but it doesn't begin to comprehend the threat that the Chinese Communist Party presents. 0.98

00:13:04.020 Glenn, you know this.

00:13:05.780 It'll take American leadership to get this right.

00:13:08.720 We're going to have to demonstrate that our businesses are prepared to sacrifice, and our businesses are prepared to be the technology leaders, and we're not going to suffer the Chinese Communist Party censorship and cancellation for our American companies.

00:13:21.220 We're going to manfare and free trade.

00:13:22.560 If we get those things right, Glenn, America's going to push back against the threat from Xi Jinping and his commie buddies. 0.84

00:13:29.540 We can do it.

00:13:30.360 We've done it before, and it's just going to take American leadership to get it right.

00:13:34.060 Sadly, we don't have a president that I think is prepared to do that today.

00:13:38.400 Do you stay in touch with President Trump, and if so, how's he doing?

00:13:43.300 I do.

00:13:44.020 He's doing great.

00:13:45.160 He wants to be part of the fight the same way I'm trying to work every day to be part of the fight.

00:13:50.480 He knows that the things that we did these past four years made lives for ordinary Americans better.

00:13:56.280 I think he's saddened to see what they've done in these first 100 days, too.

00:13:59.160 We knew when you got President Biden, we knew what we were in for.

00:14:01.920 I don't think any of us believed that the left had captured him so much that they would move this far, this left, this fast.

00:14:08.620 And so time is nigh.

00:14:10.080 We've got to get after it.

00:14:10.860 We've got to win in 2022 and show on the runway.

00:14:14.040 All right.

00:14:14.600 So you are looking for people that want to run and need some help and some advice.

00:14:21.400 You're looking for anybody who is running in 2022 at CavPAC, C-A-V-P-A-C.com, correct?

00:14:30.800 Correct.

00:14:31.400 Only conservatives need apply, Glenn.

00:14:32.960 Again, Mike, thank you so much for everything that you have done as CIA Director and Secretary of State.

00:14:45.640 It was amazing to watch you guys.

00:14:49.600 It really was.

00:14:50.420 Thank you.

00:14:51.180 Well, bless you, Glenn.

00:14:52.160 We'll talk again soon.

00:14:53.140 So long, sir.

00:14:54.380 You got it.

00:14:55.140 Bye-bye.

00:14:56.480 CavPAC.com.

00:14:58.160 We all have to consider running, especially at the local level.

00:15:04.780 You've got to replace your school board.

00:15:07.800 You have to.

00:15:08.980 It has to have just the strongest people you can possibly imagine who know what critical race theory is,

00:15:18.500 who knows what America really stands for, and do not move.

00:15:24.380 Run for your school board.

00:15:25.900 It is very, very easy, believe it or not, to win.

00:15:34.600 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:47.440 So I am trying to eat healthier, and I am.

00:15:50.720 But the thing is, I don't like healthy food.

00:15:54.000 I don't like any of it.

00:15:55.340 You've heard of a fat suit, right?

00:15:57.020 I mean, there's got to be.

00:15:58.160 When are we getting a skinny suit?

00:15:59.600 Something that will make me look skinny, because I just want treats all the time.

00:16:04.100 I grew up in a bakery for the love of Pete.

00:16:06.500 The bad news is, no skinny suit is coming.

00:16:08.620 You actually have to do the work, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:10.720 That's why I am eating Bilt Bars.

00:16:12.920 It satisfies my sweet tooth, but it's a protein bar, but not like, you know,

00:16:17.240 that's like eating stuff at the bottom of my chalkboard, usually.

00:16:20.960 This is 100% real chocolate.

00:16:23.160 It's low carb, low sugar.

00:16:25.100 If I'm eating a protein bar as a treat, come on, you've got to know it's good.

00:16:29.260 And I am.

00:16:29.800 Mint, brownie, cookies, and cream.

00:16:31.460 The new flavors that are coming out all the time, they're fantastic.

00:16:34.700 Go to BuiltBar.com and use the promo code BEC15 for 15% off your order.

00:16:41.100 Your mouth is going to water just looking at them.

00:16:44.240 Trust me, BuiltBar.com, promo code BEC15.

00:16:47.860 First, just a quick personal note.

00:16:50.000 I can't thank you enough for all of your support.

00:16:52.500 There are so many people that are just have been rooting for me on my art project,

00:17:01.260 American Heroes, Myths, and Legends.

00:17:05.820 And as I announced yesterday, it's going to be at Park City Fine Art.

00:17:10.400 You can go to the website now and find out more about it at ParkCityFineArt.com.

00:17:16.480 We announced earlier this morning that we are going to have an official show.

00:17:23.520 It's so funny because they're like, and we'll have the artist reception at.

00:17:28.840 And I'm like, yep, that's what we should do, an artist reception.

00:17:32.000 I have no idea what any of this means.

00:17:35.200 But anyway, we're going to be doing that July 26th through July 31st in Park City at Park City Fine Art.

00:17:46.140 It's when they debut the work.

00:17:48.580 I think it's up right now, but they're going to be taking it down soon.

00:17:52.340 And I'm going to be there on Saturday, July 31st.

00:17:55.980 So the last day of July, I will be there in Park City at Park City Fine Art.

00:18:01.840 The proceeds that I make from the art, I want you to know, go to Mercury One,

00:18:06.720 the American Journey Center for the Preservation of History,

00:18:13.320 also OUR and the Nazarene Fund.

00:18:16.840 So all my profits will be going to Mercury One.

00:18:25.180 Find it at ParkCityFineArt.com.

00:18:27.780 Okay, let me go real quickly now, my friend, to the former Biden COVID-19 czar.

00:18:36.680 Oh, I've missed these czars.

00:18:39.020 Here he is on COVID-19.

00:18:41.440 How much of this pandemic was preventable and how?

00:18:44.840 Well, of course, we would have had a pandemic here in the U.S. no matter what.

00:18:51.780 But look, we can count the mistakes, and I think it's important that we do for nothing else so we don't repeat them.

00:18:58.520 We obviously had a set of technical mistakes with the testing and the PPE that we know about.

00:19:04.560 But if we're honest, we also had two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life.

00:19:09.300 One were just plainly political leadership mistakes.

00:19:11.560 We denied the virus for too long out of the Trump White House.

00:19:16.240 There was too much squashing of dissent and playing on divisions.

00:19:19.240 But I'd also think we all need to look at one another and ask ourselves,

00:19:22.500 what do we need to do better next time?

00:19:24.540 And in many respects, being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another

00:19:28.440 to get through this and to save more lives is going to be essential.

00:19:32.580 And that's something that I think we could all have done a little bit better on.

00:19:35.420 We could have sacrificed a little bit more.

00:19:39.960 You know, the sacrifice of 40% of all businesses now being closed, I mean, permanently out of business,

00:19:49.760 only 40%, but I don't know if that sacrifice was good enough.

00:19:53.740 Or the fact that teen suicide now is up at 31%.

00:19:58.800 I think a few more of us could have sacrificed our children.

00:20:03.840 You know, throw it up on the altar of Anthony Fauci.

00:20:08.800 I think we could have done it, right?

00:20:10.760 Could have done it. 1.00

00:20:12.160 Go to hell. 1.00

00:20:13.000 Who do you think you are telling us that we should sacrifice more? 1.00

00:20:19.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:20:22.060 That is so reminiscent of Jimmy Carter in those days, isn't it?

00:20:27.040 Oh, yeah, it is.

00:20:28.120 Blaming everything on the American people. 0.79

00:20:31.140 Everybody on the left, the media and everything,

00:20:34.280 you know, Donald Trump was a little slow.

00:20:37.100 Really?

00:20:37.720 Was he?

00:20:38.240 Because when he shut down Europe, when he shut down travel from China, 0.63

00:20:42.320 you all belly ached and said, oh, my gosh, what a racist.

00:20:46.400 And you're on TV saying, come on down to Chinatown. 0.86

00:20:51.400 Don't start with me.

00:20:52.920 Some of us have memories.

00:20:55.620 Now, you know, Lori Lightfoot, who is just delightful.

00:21:01.320 I wouldn't say a fox, but, yeah, she's just delightful.

00:21:06.420 And she's, you know, taking some heat because she was only meeting with,

00:21:16.140 you know, minorities reporters.

00:21:19.680 She didn't want to meet with any white reporters.

00:21:22.940 Now, yesterday she came out and she said, or the day before yesterday,

00:21:26.120 she came out and said, you know, really, that only lasted two days.

00:21:30.240 So it's really not a problem.

00:21:31.760 Well, it only lasted two days because everybody on the planet hammered you for it.

00:21:37.860 Here she is speaking to John Berman, the Chicago Mary Laurie.

00:21:43.620 By the way, Laurie Lightfoot, is she Gordon Lightfoot's mom?

00:21:47.460 Yeah.

00:21:47.840 Or grandmother, because Gordon's only 82.

00:21:50.920 I think she might be his grandmother.

00:21:53.600 So, because he's quite a bit younger.

00:21:57.060 I didn't know the connection.

00:21:57.740 Quite a bit.

00:21:58.260 Because I've always, you know, I've looked at Lightfoot,

00:22:01.260 and I think Native American, but I never thought of Gordon Lightfoot.

00:22:04.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:06.900 So does she know about the sinking of the Edmonds Fitzgerald?

00:22:11.040 Well, yeah, because it's a legend that lives on from the Chippewa on down,

00:22:15.040 you know, on the big lake they call Kichigumi.

00:22:17.460 So she knows.

00:22:18.660 Right.

00:22:19.140 She knows.

00:22:19.860 She knows.

00:22:20.320 Okay, here's Gordon Lightfoot's mom, Laurie Lightfoot.

00:22:25.340 I'm the mayor of the third largest city in the country.

00:22:28.120 I'm an African-American town woman, to state the obvious. 0.70

00:22:31.140 Every day when I look out across my podium, I don't see people who look like me.

00:22:35.920 But more to the point, I don't see people who reflect the richness and diversity of the city.

00:22:40.960 So, yes, I started a long overdue conversation about diversity in newsrooms and coverage.

00:22:47.960 You all are the mirrors on society.

00:22:51.420 You reflect with a critical and important lens the news of the day.

00:22:55.500 You hold public officials like me accountable.

00:22:58.340 Okay.

00:22:58.800 Stop.

00:22:59.320 Just pause it for a second.

00:23:00.700 Keep that on screen.

00:23:02.180 May I ask?

00:23:03.220 No, no.

00:23:03.580 See if you can keep that on screen.

00:23:05.360 May I ask, Pat?

00:23:07.620 My monitor here at the ranch is very small.

00:23:10.540 Is he Native American or is he Indian or Hispanic?

00:23:18.140 John Berman.

00:23:18.960 The reporter.

00:23:20.120 Yeah.

00:23:20.620 John Berman.

00:23:21.400 So is he white?

00:23:23.080 Well, yes.

00:23:24.460 I think he's actually white.

00:23:26.080 I don't know because I can't see.

00:23:27.540 He just looks from front.

00:23:30.800 I'm looking at a two-by-two monitor here.

00:23:33.880 Yeah.

00:23:34.360 And he looks like an Indian.

00:23:38.140 And I don't mean American Indian. 0.51

00:23:39.920 And he looks a little constipated as well.

00:23:43.260 So I think there might be some of that going on, too.

00:23:45.140 Well, that's probably his white guilt. 0.57

00:23:47.680 If he's a white guy, that explains that. 0.95

00:23:49.520 It's not constipation. 0.98

00:23:50.580 It's white guilt.

00:23:51.360 By the way, for those who have been waiting, waiting for the follow-up to White Fragility, 0.58

00:23:59.960 I mean, some people I know didn't read it.

00:24:03.620 And you have to read it because you won't understand the second one.

00:24:06.600 There is another volume coming out in the series.

00:24:11.340 It's called Nice Racism.

00:24:14.820 And it's Robin DiAngelo's new book I've been waiting for.

00:24:20.000 I mean, I think the whole country has been saying, Robin, you can't leave us on that cliffhanger there at the end of White Fragility. 0.87

00:24:28.680 What happens to the main characters?

00:24:31.500 So she has nice racism coming out. 1.00

00:24:36.020 And this one is written directly to white people.

00:24:40.760 As a white person, she identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm.

00:24:56.340 And I think that's great.

00:24:59.540 It's just I'm glad somebody's finally willing to say it.

00:25:02.600 She said those patterns include rushing to prove that we're not racist, downplaying white advantage, romanticizing black, indigenous, and other peoples of color.

00:25:17.280 That happens all the time.

00:25:18.920 I've been romanticizing that all the time.

00:25:22.160 Me too.

00:25:22.780 Sometimes I pretend to be all three at the same time.

00:25:25.820 Black, indigenous, and other peoples of color.

00:25:28.240 That is so romantic.

00:25:30.240 Isn't it?

00:25:30.600 That is so romantic.

00:25:32.920 Pretending white segregation just happens.

00:25:37.780 She's on to us.

00:25:39.940 You know, I have to tell you, in my last HOA meeting, which some say I never attend, but, oh, I'm there.

00:25:48.340 We were specifically, well, we didn't actually use these words, but we're like, how can we keep this neighborhood segregated?

00:26:00.180 And that's when a lot of the guys who are black that live in my neighborhood were like, excuse me?

00:26:07.380 And I'm like, oh, oh, you're probably not black. 0.99

00:26:11.060 You're probably a sellout to your race. 1.00

00:26:13.440 And they were like, oh, yeah, I forgot.

00:26:15.000 And then the feeling that we've all had, she explains, the feeling, just feeling immobilized by shame.

00:26:26.100 Wow.

00:26:26.780 And I think that's what is happening to my son.

00:26:30.280 I really do.

00:26:31.400 I thought it was just sheer, unadulterated laziness.

00:26:37.220 But no, I think that, no, I think he's immobilized by shame.

00:26:44.260 And she, what's great is she writes candidly about her own missteps and her own struggles, you know, and to, she does it to encourage white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage.

00:26:59.420 The, because you're going to need it in that lifelong commitment of accountability.

00:27:05.100 And here are the table of contents.

00:27:10.560 What is a nice racist?

00:27:13.340 Second chapter is the one I think I'm buying it for.

00:27:16.020 Why it's okay to generalize about white people. 0.60

00:27:19.340 Oh, well, that one is. 0.58

00:27:21.660 Yeah, because they're white, obviously. 0.85

00:27:24.240 That's why it's okay.

00:27:25.320 It's a short book.

00:27:26.540 It's a short book.

00:27:28.080 What is a nice racist? 0.98

00:27:30.820 One that, you know, doesn't beat you over the head and kill you.

00:27:35.160 I mean, without a smile on their face.

00:27:38.180 Why is it okay to generalize about white people?

00:27:40.880 Because they're white. 0.92

00:27:42.740 There is no choir. 0.90

00:27:44.360 Chapter three.

00:27:45.080 I don't think you need more than the headline on that one.

00:27:49.780 What's wrong with niceness?

00:27:52.640 Well, a lot.

00:27:54.460 A lot.

00:27:54.860 Honestly, a lot.

00:27:55.980 Yeah.

00:27:56.380 People need to be near.

00:27:57.060 I mean, niceness doesn't always get you.

00:27:58.820 No.

00:27:59.020 You know, you got to be, you got to, sometimes you have to set a city on fire to get people's attention.

00:28:05.080 Mm-hmm.

00:28:05.820 Steal some shoes.

00:28:07.120 Maybe along the way.

00:28:08.340 The moves of the white progressives.

00:28:11.980 Mm.

00:28:13.160 Mm.

00:28:13.420 I wonder if that chapter, that's chapter five in Robin DiAngelo's new book, Nice Racism.

00:28:20.980 The moves of white progressives.

00:28:22.980 I wonder if that includes how all of those white progressives that set up BLM, you know,

00:28:30.420 the global network, how all those white people set that up and then built everybody who gave 0.80

00:28:39.900 to BLM.

00:28:40.640 You know, remember we told you, but of course, Robin DiAngelo was saying, hey, BLM, donate

00:28:45.820 to BLM.

00:28:47.020 And who got rich?

00:28:48.160 Uh, the white liberal progressive.

00:28:51.460 So.

00:28:52.500 Well, and Patrice Cullors, uh, obviously the co-founder of BLM.

00:28:57.080 She made a few bucks on the, on the side too, which was.

00:29:00.540 Oh, I couldn't disagree with you.

00:29:02.480 It didn't really.

00:29:03.400 Anymore.

00:29:03.740 I'm.

00:29:04.060 She, yes, she's, she's an accompli.

00:29:07.220 She's an accomplished, accomplished artist.

00:29:10.340 Well, and.

00:29:10.840 Uh, just like, uh.

00:29:12.300 And a trained Marxist as well.

00:29:14.440 So, you know, she.

00:29:15.240 Right.

00:29:15.800 All her intents are good.

00:29:18.040 Yeah.

00:29:18.600 And she knows how to make money as all Marxists do.

00:29:21.580 Yes.

00:29:22.140 Uh, you steal it from, you steal it from others.

00:29:24.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:30.260 And we really want to thank you for listening.

00:29:39.520 That's not what one dad did.

00:29:42.220 His estranged daughter, when his child support ended, he dropped off his final child support

00:29:50.160 payment, dumping 80,000 pennies on his wife's lawn.

00:29:56.000 Now, so.

00:29:58.500 That's not very nice.

00:29:59.860 That's just not very nice.

00:30:01.380 Funny.

00:30:02.220 Sure.

00:30:03.600 Hard to do.

00:30:04.920 You bet.

00:30:06.580 Uh, not as hard probably as picking them up out of the grass.

00:30:10.940 Uh, and then bringing, and then bringing them to the bank to have them count all of them.

00:30:16.860 But, uh, Hey, it's legal tender.

00:30:20.160 It is legal tender.

00:30:21.540 Actually, you can't do that.

00:30:22.720 Can you, Pat?

00:30:23.840 I don't, I didn't think you could.

00:30:26.180 I thought the banks could say, no, we're not accepting that.

00:30:31.400 I don't, I'm not sure about the legality of that.

00:30:34.740 I, I don't know how you turned down legal tender though.

00:30:36.900 Like you said, it is legal.

00:30:38.040 So why not?

00:30:39.860 And especially since he paid her, not the bank.

00:30:42.500 Here's your money.

00:30:44.460 Although that's vindictive.

00:30:46.320 And I, I, I can't.

00:30:47.680 Yeah.

00:30:47.880 Not a good example for his daughter.

00:30:50.300 Not a good one.

00:30:50.880 Really?

00:30:51.840 Um, here's the, uh, here's some good news for you.

00:30:56.720 CNN's hour long interview, which clips were played all last week.

00:31:01.520 And people were talking about, it was an interview with president Barack Obama and, uh, it was

00:31:10.080 needed at CNN because their ratings are really bad.

00:31:14.660 Uh, uh, and the interview did, uh, uh, nothing for the bad ratings at CNN.

00:31:21.780 Nobody watched.

00:31:23.780 Nobody watched.

00:31:25.620 Half a million people, uh, probably extra for the Anderson Cooper 360.

00:31:33.160 Watch the show.

00:31:34.460 Uh, uh, by the way, uh, that was half of what Tucker Carlson had, uh, the same night.

00:31:43.380 So president Obama, you're not really heated, uh, very much.

00:31:49.340 And you know why?

00:31:50.620 Because most people on the left, and this is an honest observation by somebody who used

00:31:57.900 to work for him, uh, they told me privately that, um, people were not with him.

00:32:05.140 The Marxists were not with him because they felt that he had sold out to Hillary Clinton

00:32:12.240 and the Clinton gang, uh, which in some ways he did.

00:32:16.800 I mean, not from my perspective, uh, cause I think he did a lot of damage to the country,

00:32:21.940 but not enough for the Marxists.

00:32:23.880 And that's why he couldn't draw a crowd.

00:32:25.880 Why nobody had any passion because he had become a guy that was there to play the corporate

00:32:31.260 game and make lots and lots of money, which, which he did.

00:32:35.460 Now, uh, Nickelodeon ratings are out.

00:32:38.500 Have you seen what Nickelodeon is, uh, doing Nick jr.

00:32:46.380 Has released videos, uh, championing things like trans queer and pansexual inclusion.

00:32:54.740 Uh, one video that sparked a lot of outrage depicted a cartoon version of a drag queen singing about

00:33:03.680 various LGBTQ I a plus two groups loving each other.

00:33:13.000 So proudly on blues clues and you a show for two to five year olds.

00:33:19.500 And I think that's, those were the clues that I was hoping blue would find.

00:33:24.060 I don't know about you, Pat, but, uh, absolutely.

00:33:26.560 I want, don't you, doesn't everybody want their two to five year old in touch with their sexual

00:33:30.340 sexuality and everybody else's.

00:33:32.620 Yes.

00:33:33.100 Yeah.

00:33:33.420 Yes.

00:33:34.000 Thank you.

00:33:34.780 Finally has, has somebody has the guts to say it.

00:33:39.020 Now, uh, the viewership has dropped from 1.3 million average viewers per week to 372,000.

00:33:49.060 Wow.

00:33:50.240 Oh, that's great.

00:33:51.340 I mean, that is, that's great.

00:33:52.920 Oh, isn't it?

00:33:54.180 Yeah.

00:33:54.400 Isn't it?

00:33:55.840 Yeah.

00:33:56.920 Yeah.

00:33:57.540 So, uh, looks like paramount and, uh, and Nickelodeon are in some gosh darn it financial

00:34:04.840 trouble.

00:34:05.580 Did you see John Stewart, uh, on, uh, what's his name?

00:34:11.380 They really obnoxious, not funny guy, Stephen Colbert.

00:34:15.340 Thank you for knowing that.

00:34:17.120 Did you see him when he came out?

00:34:20.240 I mean, I shouldn't have left it at that.

00:34:22.720 Oh, he came out.

00:34:25.180 Hmm.

00:34:25.880 Uh, no, I just talking about the, he was talking about the vaccine, right?

00:34:30.020 Uh, or the, uh, actually where the virus came from.

00:34:34.620 Is that what you're talking about?

00:34:36.100 So this was the, the, yeah, this was the return of the Colbert show to the Sullivan theater

00:34:40.360 because, you know, the vaccine is out now and, uh, well, he walks on stage, uh, and he

00:34:47.240 gets, you know, a standing ovation and then he grinned, uh, grinned, uh, widely as he

00:34:54.520 embraced his band leader, John Batiste, which I, I have all of his album.

00:35:00.900 And, uh, he said, we'd never really left, but we certainly weren't here.

00:35:04.740 And it's like the first day back at school.

00:35:06.900 I'm really happy, uh, because, uh, we've all been vaccinated.

00:35:11.120 I know I'm not going to get COVID, um, and, uh, a lot of people didn't take good care of

00:35:17.620 themselves during the pandemic, but I want you to, I want you to meet a good friend, John

00:35:23.300 Stewart, everybody.

00:35:24.900 And John Stewart walked out and listen to this.

00:35:27.800 I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science.

00:35:33.040 Science has in many ways helped ease, uh, the suffering of this pandemic, uh, which was

00:35:43.320 more than likely caused by science.

00:35:52.600 And that's kind of, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:35:58.440 Now, listen, listen.

00:36:00.760 It's coffee.

00:36:01.560 I wouldn't do that to you.

00:36:02.200 I wouldn't do that to you.

00:36:03.040 What do you, what do you, what, what, what do you mean by that?

00:36:05.640 Do you mean like, there's a chance that this was created in a lab as an investigation?

00:36:09.780 A chance?

00:36:10.920 Well, I, I, I, I, I, if there's evidence, I'd love to hear it.

00:36:13.860 There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China.

00:36:20.100 What do we do?

00:36:21.100 Oh, you know who we could ask?

00:36:22.720 The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. 0.94

00:36:27.040 The disease is the same name as the lab.

00:36:30.380 That's just, that's just a little too weird, don't you think?

00:36:34.520 And then they ask the scientists, they're like, how did this, so wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab.

00:36:41.200 How did this happen?

00:36:42.300 And they're like, a pangolin kissed a turtle.

00:36:46.540 And you're like, no.

00:36:47.780 I, you, you, the name of your lab, if you look at the name, look at the name, can I, let me see your business card.

00:36:55.940 Show me your business card.

00:36:57.280 Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan.

00:37:03.840 Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.

00:37:06.420 How did that happen?

00:37:07.700 Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it squeezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus.

00:37:19.640 Like, okay, okay, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second, oh my god, oh my god, there's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.

00:37:34.800 What do you think happened?

00:37:36.040 Like, oh, I don't know, maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean or it's the chocolate factory.

00:37:45.420 Maybe that's it.

00:37:46.400 That's funnier than Jon Stewart's been in 30 years.

00:37:52.760 That was, that's, I know, and good.

00:37:54.840 It's brilliant and it's the truth and notice the audience is all for it and Colbert is not.

00:38:03.080 Colbert is like, well, I, you know, if there's actual evidence, I'd like to hear it.

00:38:07.940 No, you know, Stephen, that's the funny thing about being a comedian.

00:38:12.140 You sometimes play on the obvious to make people laugh.

00:38:16.940 Now, I know you haven't, well, you, you have tried a long time, but you haven't made that happen, I think, ever.

00:38:23.940 Except when you were with Jon Stewart.

00:38:26.120 Isn't that weird?

00:38:27.180 But Jon Stewart is not only making people laugh about it.

00:38:30.980 But he's stating the obvious and the audience is, is with him.

00:38:37.340 It's with him.

00:38:38.380 Definitely.

00:38:38.940 Every time Colbert tries to stop him, the audience, he's like, no, no, no.

00:38:43.140 And the audience cheers.

00:38:45.220 I think that was amazing.

00:38:47.500 Now, let me give you Chuck Schumer, because he is so woke, so woke.

00:38:53.780 And I want to give you a clip of what he was talking about when he was doing an interview.

00:39:00.540 He was wanting to build some extra housing for those in need.

00:39:05.220 And here's what he said.

00:39:07.140 And this initiative actually will house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets.

00:39:14.340 We see them every day.

00:39:15.500 We're about to house them.

00:39:17.100 And they're against it.

00:39:18.120 It's unbelievable.

00:39:19.780 Yeah.

00:39:20.000 I mean, it's, I have found that my whole career.

00:39:23.500 They wanted to build, and when I first was assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children. 0.96

00:39:32.240 The whole neighborhood was against it.

00:39:33.600 These are harmless kids.

00:39:34.880 They just needed some help.

00:39:37.440 Yeah. 1.00

00:39:38.200 They're retarded. 1.00

00:39:39.420 They're just, they're just so sweet. 1.00

00:39:45.000 Thank you very much, Chuck Schumer. 1.00

00:39:47.100 What a ridiculous. 0.99

00:39:49.500 Wow. 0.99

00:39:49.800 And, you know, they won't say anything about that.

00:39:51.560 They won't say a word about that.

00:39:53.740 But I'll bet you that what I just said will be taken out of context.

00:39:57.660 And they're, Glenn Beck said the R word.

00:40:01.560 Mm-hmm.

00:40:02.460 Mm-hmm.

00:40:04.580 Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.
