The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Peter Navarro ｜ 9⧸18⧸25

00:00:00.000 On this podcast today, still from Arizona, this time at our radio affiliate KFYI in Phoenix,

00:00:06.300 Arizona, as we are here with the Charlie Kirk family and the TPUSA family celebrating the

00:00:12.160 life of Charlie Kirk this week. We talked about freedom of speech, some of the things that are

00:00:17.340 happening now. Finally, we're taking on Antifa. And of course, Jimmy Kimmel is crying because

00:00:23.580 two companies have decided they're not going to carry the Jimmy Kimmel show.

00:00:27.520 So that is their right as individuals to do. I am uncomfortable if the if the government

00:00:35.320 gets involved. Now, that wasn't said by anybody on the left when the government got involved

00:00:42.380 with, oh, I don't know, Twitter and Facebook. Let's look at the files on that, shall we?

00:00:47.360 Again, crocodile tears and in the hypocrisy is enough to just choke you to death. Also, 0.96

00:00:54.940 we continue with Peter Navarro. We have the nurse and the doctor. You remember the doctor

00:00:59.620 who was making fun of Charlie Kirk and saying that he deserved it, et cetera, et cetera, in

00:01:03.840 front of a patient. The nurse reported him. She got fired at first. Then now she's been

00:01:09.020 rehired and the doctor was fired. We talked to her on the program as well.

00:01:13.460 Our sponsor is My Patriot Supply. If you've been living anywhere except under a rock over

00:01:29.140 of ways, storms, blackouts, uh, global unrest, civil unrest, global tension, supply chains,

00:01:34.480 failing stores, emptying out, whatever it is is common. Am I, I've never seen that before.

00:03:18.300 Now, let's get to work.

00:03:27.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:31.680 Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:34.580 And Stu here.

00:03:36.240 Back in Dallas today. Thanks for coming out yesterday, Stu, and being here. It meant a lot

00:03:41.540 to me and I know the people at TPUSA as well.

00:03:44.800 Yeah, it was awesome for them to host us. Just great people.

00:03:48.740 It really was.

00:03:49.360 And a great organization. So I was glad to be part of it.

00:03:54.140 So what is your take on the Jimmy Kimmel stuff, Stu? Where am I missing it?

00:04:01.860 Well, I think you're going to get pushback from both sides probably on it at some level,

00:04:07.080 which I guess you're used to at this point. This is your life.

00:04:12.280 I think the left is going to say there is pressure from the government here and they're very upset

00:04:19.480 about that. Now, I can't even note how I feel about that because I'm so in I'm so overcome

00:04:25.320 by rage at the hypocrisy of them complaining about government cracking down on speech.

00:04:31.320 I can't even.

00:04:32.120 Twitter files, Twitter files, Twitter files.

00:04:35.820 Thank you. I mean, there's a hundred million examples of this. Twitter files is a great one,

00:04:39.920 though. The standard we had to hit to prove that that story mattered was like we needed to have

00:04:47.320 Joe Biden pounding on the windows of the office building at Twitter, screaming at them to take

00:04:55.180 off individual conservatives. That's the standard we had to hit for that story matter. We have all

00:05:00.400 sorts of emails from the government pressuring these companies to say, pull down this speech.

00:05:05.700 They shouldn't be able to say this. They shouldn't be able to say that.

00:05:08.820 And and the the White House is very concerned about this. And the White House is thinking

00:05:13.680 about taking action.

00:05:14.940 Yeah. And I mean, yeah, like that part of it, too. And it was behind the scenes. Now,

00:05:19.560 it was also public, but it's more than that behind the scenes. Now, we might find out that this was

00:05:24.780 going on behind the scenes with Brandon Carr. I don't know. We'll talk to him about it. We'll ask him.

00:05:28.300 Um, you know, and I, you know, my my it's hard to separate the hypocrisy here and the how infuriated

00:05:36.900 I am that they would even make these arguments to even come up with what my preferred policy would

00:05:43.020 be, which I think is pretty similar to yours. If the left wants to join in unity to work with us to

00:05:50.180 defang all of these three letter agencies from going through and ruining all of public life, 0.90

00:05:56.020 I cheer it on. Bring a put a bill on there today. Chuck Schumer. We will all vote for it. I would

00:06:02.140 love that. These are all of their organizations with their rules organizing these these policies

00:06:10.220 that are lining up against private interests. This is all their stuff. None of us wanted any of it.

00:06:17.420 Right. And this is why you don't make those agencies more powerful. This has been our point

00:06:21.860 the whole time. Somebody you make them powerful. Somebody that you don't like comes in and wants

00:06:27.080 to play the game the way you've been playing. You're not going to like it. Yeah. And that's exactly

00:06:32.080 what they're accusing us of doing. Wait a minute. Doing what you were doing. It's using the agency

00:06:37.220 that you created to do these kinds of things. The the IRS targeting conservatives, the FCC targeting

00:06:45.880 conservatives, you know, the White House targeting conservatives. I mean, did you yesterday the

00:06:52.940 FBI, their their Arctic frost probe probe was released. This is the FBI targeting 100 GOP groups.

00:07:04.380 OK, including the Republican Party, the Democrat, the Republican National Committee, the RNC,

00:07:10.960 the Republican Attorney General Association, Trump political groups. They were all placed under FBI

00:07:18.600 investigations. OK, it was it was part of this Operation Arctic Frost. And it was it was

00:07:28.460 politically investigating Trump using partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors so they could improperly

00:07:38.280 investigate everything about the Republican Party. Now, nobody's saying anything about that. I want to

00:07:45.340 defang the FBI so it cannot do that to the DNC or to the RNC. I want to defang this. This is what we

00:07:54.120 call the weaponization of government. And if you don't like it, like Stu said, we will stand with you

00:08:01.060 shoulder to shoulder to defang these things. Shoulder to shoulder, I will stand right with you saying

00:08:06.860 the government shouldn't have the power to do that. Let's get rid of this agency or let's defang

00:08:13.140 this agency to the point to where it can never target anybody on any side unless you're breaking

00:08:19.880 the law. That's what I want. Yeah, I'm fine with getting rid of the government licensing of these

00:08:26.240 stations. There's all sorts of stuff we can go down if this is what you actually want. But of course it

00:08:30.260 isn't. They want all of this power. I mean, Glenn, we talked to a man who the Department of Justice

00:08:37.600 sentenced to prison for posting a Hillary Clinton meme. Yes. Prison. They sentenced him to prison for it,

00:08:50.540 not the prison of the Hollywood home of Jimmy Kimmel, where he now has to get paid tens of millions

00:08:58.920 of dollars to stay home because a bunch of the stations that carry him don't want to show anymore.

00:09:04.480 Not that. They tried, they wanted to put him in prison. He lived through a decade-long legal struggle

00:09:12.780 to fight off prison time for posting a meme. This is insanity, Glenn. This has happened over and over again

00:09:22.860 and the hypocrisy is there. But as you point out, the question here is, and I don't think, and this is of course

00:09:28.820 the problem with today's media, I don't think many people actually listened to the entire Brendan Carr

00:09:35.340 interview. Again, we can ask him about this ourselves. I'm sure he'll come on with us today

00:09:40.140 or tomorrow. Yes. But like, he talks often about, they're like, you know, I think it was Benny Johnson

00:09:45.880 who was interviewing him and he kept asking him like, well, what do you think? Should he be pulled

00:09:49.000 off the air? And what he said over and over again, he didn't take a position on that because he said

00:09:52.580 it's very possible we might need to be the judge in a case that comes up. Now, we have to deal

00:09:58.460 with this our entire lives. Our business is built around whether the FCC deems us able

00:10:05.100 to be able to broadcast. I was 13 years old when I had to take a test at the FCC office

00:10:11.460 in Seattle, Washington. 13 years old trying to get my third phone license. I don't even

00:10:19.040 know what a phone is because it's not the kind of phone we talk on. I had to get a third

00:10:23.460 phone license at 13 years old so I could just talk on a microphone. Okay? That's how crazy

00:10:31.540 it was. I've dealt with the FCC my whole life. I despise the FCC. I despise them. But I know

00:10:39.480 their rules and I abide by their rules because that's the rule of law. You want to get rid

00:10:44.140 of the FCC? I am with you. But you know why the right or the left doesn't want to do that?

00:10:49.200 Because they have used the FCC to strangle people like Rush Limbaugh, me, Sean Hannity,

00:10:56.600 anybody. They've used them when they had control to strangle us almost to death. And yet we still

00:11:03.260 survive. You know why? Because ours is real. Our people actually listen to us. It's not like Jimmy

00:11:09.800 Kimmel that is, Jason, what is it? Jason's still doing the research trying to find out what Jimmy

00:11:15.700 Kimmel's actual ratings are. What place is he so far that you can find in all of... Remember,

00:11:23.660 Tucker Carlson left when he was second, second in all cable news. Where is Jimmy Kimmel's show

00:11:30.500 ranking on all network shows? So this is complicated because of ratings. And on one of these I can find

00:11:38.680 he's around 150th. But on another one I'm doing, it ranks about 120 shows on primetime shows. He ranks

00:11:47.880 anywhere from 95 to somewhere between 110 and 120. So dead last, pretty much, in all of these.

00:11:56.800 He's in the group of, you know what? Find the ones that are around, you know, in the 90s. Find the shows.

00:12:02.880 Let's see if anyone has ever seen any of these shows that are at 110.

00:12:07.540 Yeah. And we've mocked Stephen Colbert for losing tens of millions of dollars as he has been doing.

00:12:14.240 He crushes Jimmy Kimmel in the ratings. Just talking about Colbert, who is a complete failure. 0.57

00:12:23.040 He's still dominating when it comes to this. And what's funny about this is you get like the idea,

00:12:29.020 the essential concept here is that Trump doesn't want anybody making fun of him and they're trying

00:12:34.400 to get everybody thrown off the air. All of his political enemies. I'm sorry. One place you can

00:12:39.360 go and hear jokes about Donald Trump probably tonight, I don't know if he's on hiatus, but

00:12:44.380 is Stephen Colbert's show. Who's still on the air? Who's still on the air? We had this whole situation

00:12:50.720 with South Park where they're constantly mocking Donald Trump. The merger still went through.

00:12:56.940 No, there is no reason to believe that Donald Trump is trying to get everybody off the air

00:13:02.560 that disagrees with him. This is a pretty unique case. This is a case in which Jimmy Kimmel,

00:13:07.860 which by the way, he wasn't really even making jokes about Donald Trump. He was basically mocking

00:13:12.220 the situation. I mean, he wasn't mocking. He was also mocking Trump, but he was mocking.

00:13:16.740 He was lying. And he was lying about the situation.

00:13:19.540 He's lying. I don't care if you want to mock, mock. I think you're a despicable human being.

00:13:24.240 You're not changing my view on that. So continue to mock all you want, Jimmy Kimmel. You're wrong 0.99

00:13:28.900 for mocking a situation like that. But you were lying. You were lying. That's where the FCC will

00:13:36.320 get involved. If the FCC does get involved, because the one of the FCC, the big thing with

00:13:42.380 the FCC is, are you serving the public interest? Lying, openly lying about something is not serving

00:13:52.520 the public interest. That's the thing with the FCC. Okay. They're not making something up.

00:13:58.260 You're a lot. You are knowingly lying about a very important thing. Yeah. Imagine, imagine

00:14:06.060 this would be like Johnny Carson or who was the guy who was, I think it was Carson after Martin Luther

00:14:12.380 King is shot. If he would have gone on and said, you know, it was Martin Luther King's family that

00:14:16.460 killed him. It was all his supporters that killed him. That, that's what Jimmy Kimmel did. That is

00:14:23.540 the same exact example. You know, it was, it was the Democrats that killed RFK. You know, they're

00:14:31.900 going to do everything they can to make sure that they don't, that it's not found out that the shooter

00:14:37.200 of RFK was, uh, was actually a member of the democratic party. Johnny Carson wouldn't have done

00:14:44.180 that because there was no evidence of that. In fact, all of the evidence went the other way,

00:14:49.460 the exact opposite way on both of those examples. You can't do that. That's just lying. You're not

00:14:57.780 serving the public. What you're doing instead is you are hurting the public and the public's interest

00:15:04.940 and hurting the Republic. That's stuff you can get sued for bare minimum and maybe lose your license.

00:15:13.660 Yeah. I mean, then that's of course what Trump has done with some other lawsuits when they've lied

00:15:18.000 about this stuff. He's sued them directly and won, uh, or at least pressured, uh, them into settling,

00:15:24.080 uh, which again, all this stuff is stuff you could complain about if you're any other party on earth,

00:15:30.180 but the modern Democrats. Correct. And here's what, and here's what, and here's how you solve it.

00:15:36.540 This is how I have sold, you know, when Van Jones and the white house came to complain and put

00:15:40.920 pressure on Fox, went into Roger Ailes office and sat down. Roger said to them, look, if he's made a

00:15:46.900 mistake, we'll correct it right now. Just give me a list of all the things that he said is untrue.

00:15:51.900 They couldn't produce a list because there wasn't anything. They came back two weeks later and said

00:15:57.320 that I had said that Van Jones had gone to prison when he only went to jail. And I corrected that

00:16:02.860 that night I corrected it, but that was the extent of my lies. Okay. They said I was lying about

00:16:10.280 everything. The way to correct that is to point it out and correct it. Jimmy Kimmel is not willing

00:16:15.420 to correct this. Now he might be now, but he wasn't then. If you got it wrong, you lead with your

00:16:20.920 mistakes. The next night you go on and say, you know what? I said something and I was wrong about it.

00:16:24.900 We got our facts wrong. That's how you solve it. But they're never willing to do it. Look at

00:16:29.880 Colbert. The facts are you suck. Your ratings suck. And nobody wants to sponsor your show. 1.00

00:16:36.740 You're costing $40 million more than what the company makes. It's not workable unless you're

00:16:42.880 in a communist country. It doesn't work. And what does he do? He lies. He gets an Emmy for standing up

00:16:50.140 and saying, Trump is targeting me. It's just not, it's not workable. It's not workable in a free

00:16:56.340 society. I would have been okay with Colbert if he had just come on the next day and said,

00:17:00.480 actually, I said something the other day. I made a mistake. I do suck. That's actually the reason for

00:17:06.500 all this. Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical. You can stockpile water jugs,

00:17:14.780 you know, in the garage, you can stack emergency food in the pantry, guns and ammunition in the

00:17:19.120 office. These are all good things to have an abundance of in case there's a problem.

00:17:23.060 But just in case, what about if the pharmacy goes down? What if you can't get your prescription

00:17:28.960 drugs that you need? Jace Medical makes that possible to be able to make sure you have those

00:17:34.280 drugs. They give you ready to use emergency supply of common life-saving prescriptions,

00:17:38.960 including antibiotics. They are prescribed by a licensed physician and delivered right to your

00:17:43.400 door. You don't need to be a doomsday prepper to see the value in that. I, at least I hope

00:17:48.420 Jace will give you the peace of mind in pill form, backup plan for the unexpected because

00:17:53.800 emergencies don't wait for your convenient timing. Neither, neither should you, you should get

00:17:58.980 prepared. Now go to Jace.com, enter the promo code Beck at checkout for a discount on your order.

00:18:10.800 Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:18:16.400 All right, let me talk to you a little bit about Antifa.

00:18:21.420 Antifa has finally been put on the terror list as a terrorist organization. I want to get into this,

00:18:28.140 what it takes to be a terrorist organization. But terrorism is a word that just chills you to the

00:18:34.560 bone or it should. The Department of Homeland Security lays it out clearly. Terrorism is the

00:18:41.520 unlawful use of violence or threat of violence to intimidate or coerce a civilian population,

00:18:49.500 influence government policy, or affect the conduct of government through destruction, chaos, or fear.

00:18:56.040 That's the standard, okay? I think that's really clear. To affect the conduct of government through

00:19:04.480 destruction, yep, chaos, uh-huh, and fear. Now ask yourself, this is not going to be hard. I'm not

00:19:12.060 going to give you a lot of time to answer this question. Does Antifa fit that description? You knew

00:19:17.440 the answer before I finished the question. Yes, it does. Look at Portland. For years, we saw coordinated

00:19:25.500 campaigns where so-called anti-fascists brought not arguments, not debate, but weapons into the

00:19:33.820 streets. They occupied and shut off the FBI in their own headquarters. Do you remember that? Nobody

00:19:40.160 did anything. They bring bricks and Molotov cocktails, fireworks that are aimed at police precincts,

00:19:49.160 and federal courts. Businesses have been looted and burned. Neighborhoods terrorized. Whole blocks were

00:19:57.200 seized and declared autonomous zones. Places where the law had absolutely no authority. Now is that a

00:20:06.260 peaceful protest? No, that is the textbook definition of using intimidation and violence to advance an

00:20:15.340 ideology and intimidating the government to do what they want it to do. Now DHS says that terrorism does

00:20:24.340 not require an international connection. Homegrown extremists fall under it as well, but the criteria

00:20:30.160 is really important. Ideologically motivated violence. Now Antifa's stated mission is to dismantle systems

00:20:39.760 of oppression, but the tools they use are firebombs and street beatings, targeting systems, civilians,

00:20:48.760 officials, or institution. Well, they've assaulted journalists, shopkeepers, police officers, and city

00:20:56.160 employees. In Portland, they surround the federal courthouses night after night with the explicit goal of

00:21:01.500 driving the government authority. The intent to intimidate or coerce. Ask any small business owner

00:21:10.900 who had to hang a we support BLM sign just to avoid their windows being smashed if they felt coerced.

00:21:18.180 That is textbook definition of terror. Now compare that to the groups already on the domestic terror radar.

00:21:26.940 White supremacist gangs, eco-terrorists, foreign inspired extremists. The through line on all of 0.93

00:21:36.380 this is the same. Ideology plus violence equals terrorism. I plus V equals T. Ideology, violence equals

00:21:49.880 terrorism. Antifa checks every single box. Well, but yeah, but it's not a structured group. That's a

00:21:58.400 dodge. You know it. I know it. It's a dodge. Al-Qaeda didn't hand out business cards. They didn't say,

00:22:05.000 let me check with Al-Qaeda headquarters. Let me see ISIS. What does the CEO of ISIS have to say?

00:22:13.840 Lone wolf, lone wolf jihadists who pledge allegiance on, you know, a telegram channel still

00:22:19.620 gets classified as terrorism because that's the tactics and the outcome that matter. Antifa operates

00:22:26.980 as a network, but a decentralized network, but connected by shared symbols, shared targets,

00:22:33.760 shared methods of violence. The DHS criteria, it doesn't require corporate organization charts.

00:22:40.720 Okay, it doesn't. Well, yes, but who is their CFO? It doesn't have that. What they require is a

00:22:48.680 pattern of ideologically motivated criminal violence, and you have it in Portland, you have it in

00:22:55.260 Seattle, you have it in Minneapolis, you have it in Washington, D.C. The pattern is over and over.

00:23:00.960 Courthouses are set on fire. Police are blinded with lasers. Journalists beaten in the streets.

00:23:06.720 City blocks seized by force. Ordinary Americans are terrified into silence. That is terrorism.

00:23:15.200 So the question is not whether Antifa qualifies, because they do. The real question that America

00:23:24.740 should be asking today is, why the hesitation to name what they are? Why hasn't this happened a long

00:23:32.400 time ago? Because once you admit that organized left-wing violence can be terrorism, the narrative

00:23:41.480 completely collapses. It's not just angry kids in masks. It's a coordinated movement that meets the DHS

00:23:49.600 definition of domestic terrorism. It's no longer kids that we just need to understand. It's college

00:23:57.100 kids that stop believing. No, it's none of that. Now it's coordinated terrorism. And if we can call

00:24:04.540 January 6 terrorism and DHS did, then intellectual honesty demands and requires that Antifa, through

00:24:14.740 the same lens, is viewed the same way. Violence is violence. Coercion is coercion. Fear is fear. And

00:24:22.840 the people of Portland and Seattle and countless other cities have lived through nights of terror at the

00:24:28.860 hands of Antifa. So all that Donald Trump is doing now is just stop pretending. That's the only thing

00:24:36.960 that has changed. He hasn't come up with some grand plan or anything else. He's just like, let's stop

00:24:42.760 pretending it's not a terrorist group. Let's actually name what it is. You can't defeat an enemy if you

00:24:51.180 can't name it. You know, we would have never defeated the Nazis if we said, well, the Nazis, I mean, it's just 0.86

00:24:59.140 kind of a ragtag group and it's an ideology and it's not really, we would have never defeated the

00:25:05.180 Nazis. We had to name the Nazis what they were, evil, evil. And not because of their politics. You can be a 0.91

00:25:15.780 Marxist. Stu, what was the name of the communist we used to work with in Philadelphia? What was his

00:25:21.420 name? Clinton. Clinton, that's right. And I love the guy. I just loved him. It was a diehard

00:25:29.780 communist. He worked running the board of my show. And during the show, he would argue back and forth

00:25:36.220 with me, you know, about communism. And I'd be like, Clinton, you're not going to win this argument, but

00:25:41.760 God bless you. You're taking a paycheck. So, I mean, anyway, and God bless him. I had no problem

00:25:51.800 with Clinton. We were friends. We were friends. It's not politics. It's about what you do with the

00:25:58.980 politics. If you now take those politics and you decide you can kill people because you disagree 0.95

00:26:06.680 with them, that's a problem. You can just take the streets and you can burn down buildings and you 0.98

00:26:13.380 can put stores out of business. You can firebomb streets. That's when your ideology becomes terrorism

00:26:22.540 because you've coupled your ideology with violence. I plus V equals T. That's DHS. That's the law.

00:26:33.580 I want to take you to North Carolina here for just a second. I want to take you to North Carolina

00:26:38.420 in the mountains where the hum of the cicadas, you know, and the rush of the, I think it's the

00:26:45.540 Nantalahala, something like that, the gorge. All of these sounds of nature just drown out the noise of

00:26:55.080 the modern world. Except on September 6th, a Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled to a stop on the roadside.

00:27:04.640 And we have video of all of this. Driver stepped out, not with curiosity of a traveler, like this

00:27:10.320 is so peaceful at night, but with malice of a vandal.

00:27:13.800 Right in front of him was a banner that just said Trump 2024. It's a canvas of political allegiance

00:27:22.660 that fluttered in the wind for months and months and months. And it belonged to the mother of Mark

00:27:27.260 Thomas. He was the owner or is the owner of paddle in rafting. Okay. And to the mom, it was more than

00:27:34.640 cloth. It was conviction. The man paused all on video. Now paused, looked around, then tore it down.

00:27:40.760 There was no debate, no discussion. He just took somebody's private property, crossed onto it,

00:27:46.000 and then took and vandalized and destroyed it. And he did it in rage and threw the banner in the dirt.

00:27:52.620 It was garbage to him. Then he climbed back into his vehicle and he prepared to drive off. 0.88

00:27:58.140 But he wasn't alone. Mark Thomas had been watching him. And first he was shocked. And then he stepped

00:28:06.200 outside with his rifle. You know, the kind of weapon a mountain man would keep, not for

00:28:10.560 politics, but for protection and maybe to hunt and eat. He took his rifle, fired two warning shots

00:28:16.680 up in the air, said, you're being watched. And this isn't, this was, this was not terrorizing him.

00:28:25.620 He was saying, you're being watched and there's going to be a consequence. Okay. You're not free to do

00:28:31.640 that. That's when it turned really dark. The man rolled back his sunroof, raised a firearm, a gun

00:28:39.940 of his own and fired not into the air, but toward Thomas. The man standing on his own property under

00:28:46.520 his own flag, defending nothing more, uh, than his own property. Uh, a defending something that was

00:28:55.660 so terrorizing. It was a piece of fabric proclaiming his belief in the current president of the United

00:29:02.680 States. Bullets crack out, hit right behind Thomas. He stands his ground. Minutes later,

00:29:10.300 the suspect circles back, making another pass, squeezing off more rounds and then fleeing into

00:29:16.880 the night with his license plate concealed. Sheriff is called the investigation still ongoing shots were

00:29:27.100 fired. They identified the vehicle. Um, and Thomas said, you know, he took my property. I was telling

00:29:34.820 him to knock it off and he was trying to kill me. This is, this is what's happening in our country.

00:29:43.760 And by the way, you know, Jimmy Kimmel will tell you today, we're trying to do everything we can to

00:29:48.040 make sure that we understand that the guy who tore down that flag was a, was a MAGA supporter.

00:29:53.240 It's again, the same kind of terror that is happening. Florida man arrested by the FBI.

00:30:03.180 He received a, um, uh, the FBI received a tip from the man's high school friend about something that

00:30:11.260 this guy was posting on social media. His name is Michael Whitehead. He was in his apartment at Fort

00:30:17.680 Myers, Florida, uh, 27 years old. And he wrote online, I personally will do everything I can to

00:30:27.020 democide Republicans. Hmm. All American conservatives will be systematically erased.

00:30:35.640 Her oppressors will suffer by my hand. I promise. Okay. Now he was arrested on September 10th,

00:30:47.200 the same day. We were all talking about Charlie Kirk by that afternoon. This was going on in Florida.

00:30:54.520 Now this guy's attorney, Whitehead's attorney says, well, that I can see it can be misconstrued,

00:31:01.020 you know, especially with politics. You know, there's a fever out there. Well, there wasn't

00:31:05.840 a fever out there on, on September 10th in the morning. There wasn't a fever. They had been

00:31:11.160 investigating this guy. They had been tipped off before there was a fever. And I'm trying to find

00:31:16.500 out, Stu, help me, help me misconstrue this. All conservatives will be systematically erased.

00:31:24.080 I will personally do everything I can to democide Republicans. What democide means is for 0.73

00:31:30.860 the government, the government to actually kill all Republicans. Okay. Her oppressors will suffer 0.99

00:31:39.080 by my hand. I promise. How, uh, tell me, how can you misconstrue what he just said?

00:31:49.000 This again is somebody on the left. Political violence just gave you three examples of political

00:31:58.120 violent violence coming from the left in the last 10 days. This is the best of the Glenn

00:32:06.340 back program. Let's say hello to our good friend, Peter Navarro. Hi, Peter. How are you?

00:32:16.120 Uh, well, heavy heart, as you, as you might understand, my brother, Charlie, um, lost him. I knew him

00:32:23.820 going back to 2016, uh, when I was on the campaign trail with, um, president Trump, then candidate Trump.

00:32:32.560 Uh, I thought, I thought, I thought, I thought Charlie young, young kid at the time. Uh, and I thought

00:32:39.620 he was Don Quixote, to be honest. I mean, how would you ever mobilize the youth of America, which is so

00:32:46.180 left wing and, uh, lo and behold, Charlie, uh, taught us how to do that. And, um, he's going to be

00:32:55.600 missed and, um, it's a shame and, and, you know, all this stuff with Kimmel and this, that, and the

00:33:02.920 other thing. I mean, I went to prison. So you won't have to the book is really a treatise on how the left

00:33:13.020 is basically engaged in a sustained attack on Donald Trump, his associates and the mega movement. And

00:33:25.380 interestingly enough, I don't know if you know the full story, but for me, it started with, um,

00:33:33.160 raid at Reagan airport where the FBI came. She's the first chapter of, I went to prison. So you won't

00:33:40.020 have to, it, it started where they, they, uh, cornered me in the gangway, my, me and my fiance,

00:33:48.860 a, uh, dangerous hombres that we are five armed FBI agents. I wound up. Well, Bonnie,

00:33:54.660 her name is Bonnie Clyde. I'm just saying, there we go. Yeah. Yeah. All four foot 11 and 95 pounds 1.00

00:34:05.140 of her, you know, and I I'm like, I'm 74 years old at the time. Uh, and the only thing I'm packing

00:34:11.160 is a, is a, is a, is a sandwich for the ride, you know, it's kind of like, um, but, but what's

00:34:18.080 interesting about this is the, the agent who took me, it was a guy named Walter Giardino, FBI agent.

00:34:26.420 And it's, it's come out subsequently because of the efforts of, uh, Senator Chuck Grassley

00:34:32.420 that Giardino was part of every attempt to, uh, stop Donald Trump from getting elected in

00:34:41.020 2016, 2024, and 2020. And when Donald Trump was in office, he was one of the insurrectionists. And

00:34:51.180 he was the guy who originally helped green light, uh, the steel dossier allegedly is, is reported by

00:35:00.200 whistleblowers. The steel dossier was, was the fake dossier that's undisputed that was manufactured by

00:35:07.380 Hillary Clinton's campaign, uh, to promote the Russia hoax. And, and that was, and, and, and this

00:35:14.640 guy Giardino was one of the agents who said it was real, not fake. And that started the whole ball

00:35:21.260 rolling. And we go through eight years of endless operations. And my point here is that, uh, they put

00:35:30.220 me and Steve Bannon in prison. Everyone involved was a Democrat. Uh, they bankrupted my good friend,

00:35:39.000 Rudy Giuliani with their law fair, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, good lawyers,

00:35:44.640 helping president Trump. They're trying to take their bar cards away. As we speak four times in

00:35:51.680 four different courtrooms, they tried to put Donald Trump in prison and came pretty damn close. If you

00:35:57.360 ask me, uh, and two assassination attempts. And now Charlie Kirk, uh, with a bullet in his neck by some

00:36:06.140 left wing guy groomed, um, in the dark corners of the internet by ideology. And, and this,

00:36:14.640 I went to prison. So you don't have to is a, is a story about the, the dangerous and disturbing

00:36:20.320 asymmetry between this, this, this relentless war on us by, uh, the left and, and how we're not really

00:36:32.400 responding. And I don't know if you know this, I don't, maybe you saw the speech, but

00:36:37.260 the day I got out of prison, I wound up on the stage of the Republican national convention, uh,

00:36:45.700 in support of then candidate Trump, I went to prison. So you won't have, it was a tagline

00:36:51.780 from the speech, uh, but, but, but the rest of it is simply that I'm a wake up call. What they did

00:37:01.520 to me is a wake up call for this country that we have to do one thing. Okay. Uh, the five stages

00:37:10.340 of grief. Now I have one additional and that's accountability. Okay. And if we don't hold these

00:37:16.520 people accountable for what they did to me, to Bannon, to Trump, to Giuliani, to, to the, the

00:37:24.280 Christians who, uh, protested at abortion clinics, to the school board, people who, the parents

00:37:34.060 who, I mean, if we don't hold these people accountable and they have names and I can give

00:37:40.920 you their names, uh, then they'll do it again. I mean, make moments think about it. If we lose

00:37:45.440 the house in 2026 and you put wackos like G crock, Jasmine crock and AOC, um, and, and Maxine waters

00:37:57.800 in charge of that, that insane asylum, otherwise known as the house of representatives, uh, they

00:38:03.880 will start issuing subpoenas again. And my case, by the way, is, is ongoing. I, even though

00:38:10.920 I did my time in prison and there's no personal reason for me to pursue the appeal, I'm pursuing

00:38:17.160 that appeal because my case us versus Peter Navarro is a landmark case in the constitutional

00:38:25.320 separation of powers and executive privileges. And the department of justice has already withdrawn

00:38:32.680 their opposition to my appeal and gone back to what was 50 years of support for what I

00:38:40.600 was forced to do by Congress in that subpoena. So these are, these are dark times, but we

00:38:48.200 do have Trump in the white house. We're getting good stuff done for the American people, but

00:38:53.200 we've got to solve this, this lawfare problem. They're just going to keep doing it.

00:38:59.340 Well, you know, I said today, uh, Peter, that, you know, the left is saying we don't want

00:39:04.800 the government to be able to regulate and tell people they can be on the air or off the

00:39:09.160 air. And I'm like, I am, I've done broadcast my whole life. I'm the first to say, you want

00:39:13.560 to abolish the FCC. You want to take the, you want to defang the, the, uh, FBI. You want

00:39:18.840 to defang all of these, you grew them. It wasn't constitutional lovers that did that. It was a

00:39:24.560 progressive movement on both the Republican and democratic side. I'm for defanging, but they

00:39:29.760 don't actually want to defang it because they want the power. When they have the power, they

00:39:34.500 want all of these rights to do what they're claiming we're doing now. I want to defang

00:39:39.700 the whole thing. Do you think it's, do you think it's possible, Peter, that we can defang

00:39:45.560 it, that, that Donald Trump can do it?

00:39:49.900 Well, he can do anything. And, and he's demonstrating that. I mean, on the, on the terror front, I mean,

00:39:57.340 I was around when, during the first term, I was one of only three people, Stephen Miller and

00:40:03.400 Dan Scamino were the other two who were there for the whole four years. Uh, and I was like

00:40:09.660 the China Hawk tariff guy. Right. And that first term, it was nothing but crosswinds and headwinds,

00:40:15.780 right? Very difficult to land the plane this time. I mean, everybody understands that the world's

00:40:22.120 cheapness. We're fighting back. We're getting, uh, all sorts of revenues for the American people,

00:40:29.140 $17 trillion in new investment at last count and, uh, factories, jobs, and it's just a beautiful

00:40:39.640 thing. And by the, by the way, we're going to pay down the national debt with the tariff revenue. So,

00:40:43.460 so I'm bullish on that, but on this, on this issue of, of the left, I mean,

00:40:50.780 these kids, he's just, that's a 22 year old kid picks up a rifle

00:40:54.140 and shoots Charlie Kirk, uh, because he has been trained by folks on the internet to hate

00:41:08.820 anybody who's in MAGA. It's like, I mean, I, I, every time they call us a fascist, right? I mean,

00:41:18.780 think about this, Glenn, it's like, I went to frigging prison and everybody who put me there 0.97

00:41:24.000 was a Democrat. There were no Republicans except Liz Cheney who put me in prison. And that exception 0.85

00:41:30.580 proves the rule, right? Only Democrats put me in prison, put Steve Bannon in prison,

00:41:37.180 prosecuted Donald Trump, tried to overthrow his government, all Democrats 0.67

00:41:43.420 and killed Charlie Kirk. And they tell us we're the fascists. And when they say that,

00:41:50.200 and you can, you can see the clips. I'm sure you probably played a bunch of them. When, when

00:41:56.060 Chuck Schumer went after, uh, the Supreme court, we wind up, he wound up sending a guy to blow,

00:42:03.760 blow, uh, yes, have an odd house up or burn it down. It's like, what did they expect? They're,

00:42:11.560 you can't, I mean, I'm, I'm all for free speech, but, um, you know, the old saw about,

00:42:20.300 you can't shout fire in a crowded theater. You can't be calling, I mean, Maxine Waters,

00:42:26.560 I think Maxine Waters and Jasmine Crockett should be, um, charged as accessories before the fact 0.99

00:42:34.300 in Charlie Kirk's murder, because they, they incite this. I mean, the hatred, you look at the

00:42:41.240 internet and the crap people write these days, it's like, they wouldn't say that to your face. 0.99

00:42:47.600 They'll say anything on the internet. 0.99

00:42:49.760 Peter, I, I have to tell you, you and I both come from an old school where we wouldn't have

00:42:54.080 seen that. I think people are willing to say that to each other's face now. I mean,

00:42:57.960 the hatred is so deep. Um, and, uh, you know, this, this idea that Donald Trump and all of his

00:43:05.820 supporters are Hitler, they, they actually, you know, you say it enough times and enough people 0.76

00:43:11.340 start to believe it. These people actually believe that now. Um, it's a sickness. It is truly a mental

00:43:17.340 illness. Um, and they'll say it to your face. I mean, what, what's happening is, you know, I agree 1.00

00:43:23.460 with that. I wrote this article this week, uh, about that. Remember the broken window theory, uh,

00:43:31.300 Giuliani made famous. It's the idea that if you allow graffiti on the walls and broken windows

00:43:39.640 and, and all sorts of petty crimes going on and you don't crack down on it, then, then it gets worse.

00:43:47.060 And Giuliani came into New York city at its low point, um, and forced the broken window theory,

00:43:54.440 started cleaning up the small stuff and the big stuff went away. That was it. And I think,

00:43:58.700 I think we've got the same thing you're talking about by which is that, uh, the, the, the speech

00:44:05.080 on the internet is like, they start, they started small years ago and now that it's just, they'll

00:44:11.820 say anything. And, and no, I've watched these ice agents by tremendous respect for it. It's like,

00:44:18.600 why are we even letting people with mask get within 12 inches in screaming these people's face when

00:44:27.100 they're holding like bats or other kinds of weapons? I mean, I thought I'm ready. I'm ready for law and

00:44:34.760 order, my brother. And I want to, I want a masculine society. You know, the old, uh, saying about, uh,

00:44:41.980 an armed society is a polite society. I was Robert Heinlein. I don't remember where that came from,

00:44:47.700 or, you know, Charleston has to made it famous, but, uh, uh, an unmasked society is a polite society.

00:44:54.920 And whether it's unmasked in public or unmasked on the internet, um, I, I think, I don't know,

00:45:01.900 we've got to turn this around. Those with the baseball bats and the masks are the ones that

00:45:08.800 are now coming out and saying that I shouldn't be able to wear a mask. It's, I mean, the hypocrisy

00:45:14.060 is enough. Yeah. Peter, thank you so much for being on the name of the book is I went to prison. So

00:45:18.760 you don't have to white house, senior counselor for trade and manufacturing. Um, his story is amazing

00:45:25.060 what he saw in prison. I mean, it'll curl your hair. It really is. It's a wicked story. I went

00:45:30.900 to prison. So you don't have to by Peter Navarro, Peter, we'll talk again. Thank you so much for being

00:45:35.040 on the program.
