The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Ryan Walters ｜ 9⧸23⧸24

00:00:00.000 Well, how many of you brought your assassination gun from Lee Harvey Oswald to the class today?

00:00:08.620 I thought it was show and tell. Hello.

00:00:11.860 So we talk about assassination and assassination in the past and kind of wonder, are we the same people that come together anymore?

00:00:22.720 Historic perspective, what's supposed to divide the country, it's usually had the opposite effect, but I'm not so sure anymore. 0.84

00:00:32.740 Why do we know so much about a letter written by the would-be Trump assassin, which is saying, you know, you've got to go out there and try to kill him.

00:00:43.000 And yet they hid the Nashville shooter's letter.

00:00:46.180 Is there an agenda here that they want out?

00:00:49.260 Plus, we have lost our way as a country.

00:00:53.060 Would you stop for anybody in distress anymore?

00:00:55.700 I tell you an amazing story.

00:00:57.540 Also, Ryan Walters talks about how Tim Walsh's anti-parent platform is going to ruin your child's education.

00:01:05.000 It's already ruined it in Minnesota and how dangerous it would be to have it nationwide.

00:01:10.260 It's the best of the Glenn Beck podcast, and it starts in 60 seconds.

00:01:14.960 Let me tell you about good ranchers.

00:01:16.560 When your family sits down, by the way, speaking of ranchers, let me tell you something.

00:01:20.560 I don't know if you saw the news about Kamala, but she's practically a rancher. 1.00

00:01:29.120 She said, somebody comes into my house.

00:01:33.100 I got my gun. 1.00

00:01:34.800 And I'm going to pew, pew, shoot them down. 0.99

00:01:40.580 Anyway, good ranchers.

00:01:42.820 Good, delicious, high-quality meat that comes from animals raised right here in America.

00:02:46.080 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:57.440 So I'm going to start the program with this.

00:03:00.660 Do you recognize this gun?

00:03:05.540 Just holding it up for the Blaze viewers.

00:03:09.900 It is a, looks like an old rifle, right?

00:03:13.500 Old rifle, yeah.

00:03:14.480 Yeah, you know, got the wood on there, you got the black scope on the top, kind of some, you know, I don't know, leather-looking straps, kind of affixed to it.

00:03:25.980 Yeah, it's got a bolt, a bolt action.

00:03:29.080 Yeah.

00:03:29.600 Okay.

00:03:30.800 You might not recognize it, but you think maybe you've seen it before.

00:03:35.520 It's because this is the sister gun, exact sister gun, used by Lee Harvey Oswald.

00:03:45.540 Yeah, I mean, the picture of the guy holding it up is very famous, yes.

00:03:50.140 So very famous.

00:03:51.580 As I'm looking at this gun this weekend, somebody brought it to the art show.

00:03:59.260 I mean, luckily he was a friend.

00:04:00.880 He didn't try to get it past the screeners.

00:04:05.120 I brought a rifle.

00:04:07.900 Is that a problem?

00:04:08.480 I just brought this rifle to Dallas.

00:04:10.360 No big deal.

00:04:10.900 And so we were talking about it, and I mean, it is a, it's a Italian rifle.

00:04:24.840 It's a bad Italian rifle.

00:04:26.900 It's from World War II.

00:04:29.100 It is not real good.

00:04:30.740 It has very small bullets.

00:04:32.160 It has a, it's actually, I think, a clip that goes in to this, not a magazine.

00:04:37.840 I think this one actually is a clip.

00:04:40.740 And it had five bullets in it.

00:04:44.700 Now three, he fired three bullets.

00:04:47.420 Three shells were found.

00:04:48.920 The gun was found.

00:04:50.680 But the clip or the magazine, whichever one it's called, I'm pretty sure this one is a clip, I think he said.

00:04:57.960 That was never found.

00:04:59.700 So the extra bullets were never found.

00:05:02.160 The bullets, because it takes a special caliber, it's my understanding that they were all purchased by the CIA at the time.

00:05:12.960 And so this, they were, this was a CIA caliber.

00:05:16.120 They brought, they bought all of those, that caliber at that time.

00:05:20.920 And then they had been dumped on the market just right before the shooting.

00:05:27.280 The scope is from Japan.

00:05:30.960 And he bought this at a department store in Chicago.

00:05:36.260 This is very, very cheap.

00:05:37.820 And the scope on top of it is from Japan.

00:05:42.560 And it is just, it's, it's just crosshairs.

00:05:45.900 It's not even a, it's not even a, a hunting scope, really.

00:05:49.560 It was like a dollar at the time.

00:05:55.120 Holding this gun and looking through this scope and knowing what I do know about how many snipers tried to make the shot.

00:06:01.880 With this gun, I could make that shot in Dallas with one of my guns.

00:06:09.500 With this gun, I don't think I could have, I don't think I could have done three shots. 0.81

00:06:14.440 There's no way.

00:06:15.080 I just don't think there is a way.

00:06:18.180 But maybe, maybe there is.

00:06:20.380 Maybe, maybe he was the only shooter.

00:06:22.600 And, you know, that's what we're led to believe.

00:06:25.000 And I don't have any evidence.

00:06:26.880 I have a lot of questions, but I don't have any evidence that it wasn't.

00:06:30.640 Anyone can get lucky with a shot, right?

00:06:32.220 Right, right.

00:06:32.680 But here's the thing.

00:06:34.760 Almost immediately, they produced this gun.

00:06:38.200 And you know the picture of this gun.

00:06:41.380 Because as soon as they caught Lee Harvey Oswald, it was walked through the crowd and shown to the press.

00:06:49.280 We knew almost immediately where that gun was purchased.

00:06:52.800 We knew the serial number of the gun.

00:06:56.120 We knew all about the bullets.

00:06:58.120 We knew about the scope.

00:06:59.980 We knew the scope came from Japan.

00:07:02.680 We knew everything about this gun.

00:07:05.200 Almost immediately.

00:07:07.700 Stu, can you tell me anything about either of the guns?

00:07:11.040 Other than their make?

00:07:13.900 Or their model number?

00:07:15.460 I mean, I have not, you know, seen much information on it?

00:07:18.500 No, there's nothing on them.

00:07:19.760 Really?

00:07:20.200 No.

00:07:21.080 No.

00:07:22.160 There's, you know, it's weird because we have access to almost everything now.

00:07:28.600 Why don't we know where these guns came from?

00:07:31.380 Why don't we know how that gun in Florida fell into his hands?

00:07:38.200 Yeah.

00:07:38.480 And they just said that there's a, it had obliterated serial numbers.

00:07:42.260 Uh-huh.

00:07:42.660 They keep using obliterated.

00:07:44.060 Obliterated, yeah.

00:07:44.880 Because nobody thinks for themselves.

00:07:46.840 So how was it obliterated?

00:07:49.840 How did he get the gun?

00:07:51.440 How come we don't know that yet?

00:07:53.860 How come we don't have people out there searching for, they've not made him talk yet about how did you get the gun?

00:08:01.520 He's not willing to share that information?

00:08:04.000 What about the story, the blaze spoke to a journalist who then spoke to 10 people from Tucson?

00:08:19.040 Did you hear about the Trump rally in Tucson?

00:08:22.880 Let me give you this, uh, this story from the blaze.

00:08:26.180 After attending a Trump rally in Tucson, Arizona last week, roughly 20 attendees reported mysterious symptoms such as blurred vision and facial swelling following the event.

00:08:37.280 While we still don't know what happened, many are speculating that a chemical attack took place.

00:08:42.880 Could the strange illness that affected the attendees be a result of more political violence incited by Democrats and the mainstream media?

00:08:52.260 Political journalist Christy Kelly joined Jill Savage and the Blaze News Tonight panel to discuss this deeply concerning situation.

00:09:00.220 According to Kelly, this was not an ordinary rally, primarily because there was a lot of consternation going into the rally.

00:09:07.600 The namesake of the venue, Linda Ronstadt, published a social media lengthy post stating her displeasure with Trump for even being there.

00:09:18.520 You know, see, there's always something good that comes out of even the worst.

00:09:24.540 I now know I could answer the question if somebody asked me, is Linda Ronstadt still alive?

00:09:30.200 I know the answer now.

00:09:31.140 Oh, wow.

00:09:31.540 I know the answer.

00:09:32.720 So let's look at the bright side.

00:09:34.120 Kelly, who says she's spoken with a lot of the people, 10 of them, who have come down with some sort of mystery illnesses, all of whom happen to be seated directly behind Donald Trump.

00:09:47.220 Blaze Media asked, what have these people told you?

00:09:50.300 Kelly said those afflicted individuals reported that everything in the rally went fine.

00:09:55.640 However, right after the rally, strange maladies began setting in.

00:10:00.980 Every person that we spoke to said 20 to 30 minutes after they left the rally, they began to get blurry eyes, blurry vision.

00:10:10.300 Some said their nose started stinging, and they started experiencing redness that progressively got worse, adding that the majority of the people she spoke with did end up in the ER.

00:10:21.820 Some were then referred to their ophthalmologist.

00:10:24.200 Two people that I spoke to that were referred to their ophthalmologist gave me the paperwork, which included bilateral ocular chemical burn in the eye.

00:10:35.840 The emergency room physicians were less definitive, indicating that the strange systems could have been, quote, a result of extreme exposure to lighting or potentially an irritant in the air.

00:10:50.580 However, the ophthalmologist reports indicated that it was some sort of chemical burn.

00:10:54.520 Despite both the event center and local law enforcement being notified of the situation, we have not received a statement from either the facility or the Tucson police.

00:11:05.000 Thankfully, the Trump campaign is taking this initiative on to find out exactly what happened.

00:11:11.180 So what happened there?

00:11:14.340 What happened there?

00:11:15.680 Does anybody, I mean, does anybody care?

00:11:21.600 Seriously.

00:11:23.820 Does anyone care anymore?

00:11:29.720 This is now, and it could be just some chemical that were on big, I mean, they just don't use these lights anymore.

00:11:37.600 But, you know, like big stage lights that burn really hot, and maybe they were new and they had some chemical.

00:11:43.540 I don't think that's happened since like 1971, but maybe, maybe.

00:11:50.900 But why did it only affect the people that were directly behind Donald Trump?

00:11:59.720 Now, let's go back and look at some of the other things.

00:12:05.000 So we have a problem with the FBI, and we've talked about it before.

00:12:09.680 Remember, the FBI, the suspect was on our radar.

00:12:13.780 Oh, were they?

00:12:15.040 They were on your radar.

00:12:16.540 Oh, okay.

00:12:17.400 Well, that's good.

00:12:19.120 Do you mean radar range?

00:12:20.760 Is that a microwave you're looking at?

00:12:23.500 Well, yeah, there was a sticky note.

00:12:25.000 We just put it, put his name down on a sticky note and just taped it to the microwave door because we were making some popcorn.

00:12:31.620 We thought, hey, every time you make popcorn, we should remember, look into that guy.

00:12:34.940 Where, what does that mean?

00:12:36.500 It's on your radar.

00:12:38.800 The FBI just told Just the News in a statement on Tuesday that it receives thousands of tips every day, which is fielded through its National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia.

00:12:49.840 The tips involving a threat to life, serious bodily injury, or significant violent action are treated the highest priority and referred to the appropriate FBI field office or other relevant offices.

00:13:03.160 Through this process, the FBI was notified about the dangers of certain people that could pose at least a threat five times they've received one that was a potential threat that was on their radar that went on to commit mass shooting or attempts to kill Donald Trump.

00:13:23.640 We know the most recent events, first assassination attempt, and now the second assassination attempt.

00:13:33.680 This guy, Ryan Wesley Routh, allegedly aimed an AK-47 that we know nothing about, threw the fence at the golf course.

00:13:43.640 He was charged with possession of a firearm as a felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated, there's that word again, serial number.

00:13:53.820 Every time.

00:13:54.780 He had been flagged by the FBI back in 2019, so he was on the radar for several years.

00:14:03.000 He was also the subject of a previously closed tip to the FBI where he was allegedly, allegedly he was a felon in possession of a firearm.

00:14:12.300 Well, there's no allegedly about it.

00:14:15.560 He was, for some reason, doesn't this sound strange, because just ask yourself, gun owners, would this happen to you?

00:14:24.620 If you had been a convicted felon because you were even just brandishing a firearm, but he went actually in and had a standoff with police,

00:14:37.160 and he had a fully automatic weapon, do you think you would have been judged guilty in a court of law, and then just like, you know, you're on your own recognizance?

00:14:50.760 And not paid any time in prison?

00:14:53.200 Why did that happen?

00:14:55.100 He has several run-ins with the law, and he's never put in jail.

00:14:59.840 Now, you could come up with all kinds of theories, but they would involve conspiracies, and I don't want to get into conspiracy theories.

00:15:14.160 I'll get into conspiracy facts, but I only have theories on this one.

00:15:21.060 One of those theories does not explain any of that, but it does lead one to caution that this government has so much information on all of us

00:15:34.800 that within five minutes of being asked, AI could find people like this that are unstable, that could be used, that have an axe to grind, that have access to weapons,

00:15:54.280 that they could just have AI suggest to them, in no way traceable, 0.82

00:16:01.200 you know, you really have a responsibility to kill the president. 0.90

00:16:08.000 That's the world we're living in now. 0.97

00:16:11.840 And the government has that direct power.

00:16:15.180 I'm not saying that they've used it.

00:16:17.200 I'm saying you cannot trust that kind of power in the hands of a system that you don't trust.

00:16:26.680 Who trusts it?

00:16:28.320 And I ask that of Democrats.

00:16:29.980 If you trust this, I mean, I think you're crazy, but if you trust this system, what happens if Donald Trump gets in?

00:16:37.580 Do you trust that system?

00:16:39.600 See, unless you're planning on a one-party system, somebody is going to get in that doesn't agree with you.

00:16:47.900 That's why you don't want any of this stuff happening, no matter who's president, your guy or the other guy.

00:16:55.880 You don't want this kind of power in the hands of an out-of-control government.

00:17:01.760 And the only way you make sure that you don't have the power in somebody's hands that you don't trust

00:17:08.000 is that you obey the law and you demand that the law be enforced equally all the time.

00:17:16.400 I don't know how, I really don't know how more Americans don't understand the danger that we're all in.

00:17:24.680 All of us.

00:17:25.400 I want to talk to you about Jace Medical, Jace Case.

00:17:30.940 I was having dinner last night with some friends and we were talking about it, how, you know,

00:17:34.500 we have to make sure that we have all the medicine that we might need.

00:17:38.520 Just, you know, be nice to have 90 days worth, you know.

00:17:42.720 So, let's get through the election and through January 20th and see where that takes us.

00:17:49.280 There are many things that you need to make sure that you have ready,

00:17:52.680 but probably the one thing that will make the biggest difference in your life next to food is medicine.

00:17:58.260 And you can get the Jace case and you can personalize it.

00:18:00.800 So, it comes already with antibiotics, essential antibiotics and medications

00:18:05.460 that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

00:18:08.120 But you can also add ivermectin, you can add Tamiflu,

00:18:11.620 you can add some of the drugs that you have to take every day.

00:18:15.080 Just call Jace.

00:18:16.980 Talk to them.

00:18:33.480 Now back to the podcast.

00:18:34.420 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:38.120 Let me take you back.

00:18:41.820 It's evening, April 14th, 1865.

00:18:45.620 Civil War has just ended.

00:18:47.360 It was done five days ago.

00:18:49.640 The country was ripped apart by the bloodiest conflict in our history.

00:18:54.500 But the healing had started.

00:18:57.820 Do you know why the South is full of all those statues that everybody has just torn down?

00:19:03.520 Do you know why?

00:19:04.180 It was to try to unite the country again.

00:19:09.480 You know, okay, you had some generals that were good.

00:19:13.980 Go ahead.

00:19:15.020 Build a statue to that person.

00:19:17.060 It was the way that we were trying to come back together and recognize bravery.

00:19:24.600 And the North was like, okay, well, just let's come back together. 0.71

00:19:30.220 It's better to bring the union together than continue to fight.

00:19:35.220 600,000 Americans are dead.

00:19:38.780 Families have been torn apart.

00:19:40.100 North versus South.

00:19:41.340 Brother against brother.

00:19:42.320 And in the middle of all this stands Abraham Lincoln, the man who held the country together.

00:19:49.020 But most people didn't really like him.

00:19:52.700 He was not a popular guy when he was alive.

00:19:56.460 But he refused to let the union break.

00:20:00.080 And then he's the guy who emancipates all blacks. 0.98

00:20:04.240 Lincoln had been through the storm.

00:20:09.420 He was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

00:20:13.040 But then enters John Wilkes Booth.

00:20:16.920 Now, Booth isn't just some guy that nobody knew, didn't like Lincoln.

00:20:21.220 He was a famous actor.

00:20:23.680 He was Johnny Depp, well-known.

00:20:27.000 But he was also well-known as a Confederate sympathizer.

00:20:30.300 To him, Lincoln wasn't a hero.

00:20:32.680 He was the tyrant who destroyed the South.

00:20:36.040 And Booth believed, we have to have hatred.

00:20:40.360 I've got to get people to hate the South more. 0.96

00:20:44.420 And if I kill Lincoln, and it's known that it's me, a Southerner, a Confederate, 0.97

00:20:52.320 they'll rise up again, and the war will be fought again. 0.97

00:20:56.740 There will be another Confederacy and another shot at victory.

00:21:00.980 So Booth goes to Ford's Theater that night, sneaks into Lincoln's box, pulls the trigger.

00:21:07.380 Now, in his mind, it's going to be the thing that's, you know, the spark that sets everything on fire again.

00:21:12.880 And the South would rise, chaos would return, and the union would fall apart.

00:21:16.400 But what actually happened?

00:21:18.660 We've seen this in our history books over and over and over again, especially when we look at the assassination attempts on American presidents.

00:21:32.240 What's fascinating and kind of ironic is how these acts of violence meant to tear us apart have almost always had the opposite effect.

00:21:41.260 Instead of dividing us, they somehow or another end up uniting us, make us stronger and more resilient.

00:21:49.120 Now, let me ask you the question I asked a little while ago.

00:21:53.780 Are we those people now?

00:21:56.660 Will we be those people if violence rears up?

00:22:01.220 If Donald Trump is shot, will it unite us or will it tear us apart?

00:22:09.980 Would we rise like John Wilkes Booth wanted it to happen?

00:22:15.740 Would we rise in anger and demand war?

00:22:22.900 Would the left celebrate and dance in the streets and pass out candies and cookies like the Palestinians did on 9-11? 1.00

00:22:37.940 Will we be calm enough on both sides to be able to say that's not who we are, each calling out their own side?

00:22:48.840 I don't know.

00:22:49.760 I mean, when I heard that story from a friend of mine in church yesterday about, you know, standing in a good section of town and a bad, bad car accident.

00:23:04.520 And she's just asking for people to help, help, help, help. 0.89

00:23:09.180 And nobody stops.

00:23:11.080 She goes right up to a motorcyclist and he looks the other way to pretend he doesn't see her as he stopped.

00:23:19.760 Is that who we're becoming?

00:23:22.680 And what is happening to us?

00:23:27.460 Yeah, I mean, there are.

00:23:29.760 It's interesting because you were talking about this and I was, you know, you put yourself in that position a little bit.

00:23:33.880 And there are certain circumstances you would definitely help, but I think there's certain circumstances that you'd be afraid to help.

00:23:41.400 You'd be afraid to, like, I think of the guy on the subway in New York who stepped in to try to save somebody's life and now he's charged with a crime.

00:23:50.880 But that's New York.

00:23:51.960 You expect it.

00:23:53.720 I mean, I shouldn't expect it.

00:23:55.100 No, you shouldn't.

00:23:56.260 But you do. 0.66

00:23:57.020 Because New York is an absolutely insane place.

00:24:02.580 Now, have the suburbs of Fort Worth become that insane to where you're, it's like the subway, you just don't want to get involved?

00:24:16.140 I mean, that's possible.

00:24:17.860 It is possible.

00:24:18.820 I mean, I think it's even happening with our police officers right now.

00:24:21.040 I think even our police officers are looking at some of these circumstances.

00:24:25.080 We're seeing it certainly in inner cities where they're looking at these situations and thinking, oh, my God, like if I step in and I rescue someone and shoot them, am I going to be on MSNBC and CNN every day for the next three months as a racist?

00:24:40.040 But so let me ask you, this is one of the things that attracts me to Donald Trump.

00:24:46.140 And it wasn't like this before, but when he was down on the ground, he could have stayed on the ground.

00:24:53.340 He could have had them take him, but he parted the officers and said, no, I have to see them.

00:25:01.660 And he gave a message to us, a defiant message.

00:25:07.280 I'm back on my feet.

00:25:09.240 Don't you sit down.

00:25:10.980 Fight.

00:25:11.700 Yep.

00:25:13.320 That's courage.

00:25:14.780 That's courage.

00:25:17.020 Courage.

00:25:17.980 I mean, the people, you know, they say people will prosper up, will perish without vision.

00:25:25.100 But vision is not enough.

00:25:27.820 It has to be vision and courage.

00:25:32.020 I mean, one of the things that has made us successful in the past and almost broke several times is I do have a vision for what I think we need to do, et cetera, et cetera.

00:25:43.520 But I also have some would call it insanity.

00:25:46.920 Others would say it's the courage to roll the dice and say, you know what?

00:25:50.820 I don't care if we lose it all.

00:25:52.180 Let's let's try.

00:25:53.280 I think that's right.

00:25:54.560 You know what I mean?

00:25:55.240 So you have to have vision and courage.

00:25:59.460 Donald Trump has shown himself to have courage.

00:26:02.820 Are we showing ourselves to have courage?

00:26:06.180 Because it will be very unpopular if he's killed. 0.59

00:26:14.760 If he's killed. 0.99

00:26:15.940 God help us.

00:26:17.100 God help all of us.

00:26:19.340 You do not want a civil war in this country.

00:26:21.840 You just don't.

00:26:22.660 It'll just be horrid.

00:26:24.820 And we'll end up being we'll end up being like Haiti or Venezuela. 0.70

00:26:28.720 It should be obvious to everyone, by the way.

00:26:30.860 I don't think it is.

00:26:31.760 Yeah, no, I think you're right.

00:26:32.960 I don't think it is.

00:26:33.780 There are definitely at least some people who think, oh, you know, well, we'd win.

00:26:38.560 Even if even if that's true.

00:26:40.240 What do you win?

00:26:41.180 What do you win?

00:26:41.760 What do you win?

00:26:43.840 But I think there is that there's that instinct.

00:26:48.020 I think, look, we have changed.

00:26:49.740 I think, you know, someone came in early when the producers came in and was talking about how they were pulled over and with a blown out tire and only one person stopped to try to help them.

00:27:00.600 And and he was surprised that even one did.

00:27:04.820 And I can understand that.

00:27:08.000 I can also understand if I'm have I have a tire blowout on the side of the road and someone stops.

00:27:13.480 I'm concerned about who they are.

00:27:16.320 Why are they stopping?

00:27:17.780 What are they going to what are they going to do?

00:27:20.320 Am I about to get robbed or assaulted or God knows what?

00:27:23.920 And I know certainly, you know, you know, thinking mainly if I have my kids with me, like, you know, you don't want to put them in a dangerous situation.

00:27:32.440 Now, 99 percent of the time, that's not going to be the case, but you're certainly guarded against that.

00:27:36.280 I don't know that that's always been so reality.

00:27:38.840 I was up in Idaho and I'm driving and I'm driving to the airport.

00:27:43.300 I'm getting ready to leave and small town and I'm driving and I'm on the highway and this semi truck is pulled off to the side and it has its hood up.

00:27:54.260 And I pull over and I walk up to the driver and I said, anything I can do to help?

00:28:02.480 I should have said, I know nothing about what you're going to say here in a minute.

00:28:05.980 I won't understand a word.

00:28:08.000 He was like, you know, well, I just have a defibrillator.

00:28:10.240 I just need to blow some some air through the defibrillator and then just ratchet it down with a one five B screw nut and one five B screw nut.

00:28:18.840 Yeah.

00:28:19.120 And I'm like, I don't have any idea what he was even talking about.

00:28:22.380 Probably he wasn't talking about that.

00:28:23.620 And I see.

00:28:24.140 Right.

00:28:24.460 And I said to him, I meant, have you called for help or is there.

00:28:30.040 Can I wait with you?

00:28:31.300 Do you need a beverage?

00:28:32.240 What can I have?

00:28:33.100 Have some water in the car.

00:28:34.420 Do you have any Grey Poupon?

00:28:35.580 I don't know.

00:28:37.880 But, you know, I had I had no help, but I didn't want to pass him without thinking that somebody would stop.

00:28:46.740 You know what I mean?

00:28:47.520 Right.

00:28:47.880 Yeah.

00:28:48.280 And like that, I'm not sure I would do that in Dallas.

00:28:51.480 I'm not sure I would do that in Dallas.

00:28:53.520 You don't have to convince me that small town life is better.

00:28:56.240 You know, I think that's true.

00:28:57.980 I think I think the that's obvious.

00:28:59.820 But I think.

00:29:01.580 I think we as Americans need to recognize not just that it's better, why it's better.

00:29:09.200 We haven't lost our connection to one another yet in small towns.

00:29:14.920 We still care about each other.

00:29:17.480 In these big cities, it's all breaking down.

00:29:21.540 And it's breaking down.

00:29:22.880 I mean, if it breaks down here in Dallas, in Texas, I mean, I'm not living in the city.

00:29:28.820 We're living in a nice area where that accident happened is a fairly nice area.

00:29:34.360 I can't imagine him not pulling over and trying to help.

00:29:38.440 In that situation, you're 100% trying to help and do anything you can.

00:29:42.700 Right.

00:29:43.600 And nobody did.

00:29:44.820 Nobody did.

00:29:45.360 Except my friend.

00:29:45.980 Yeah, that's that's really surprising, honestly.

00:29:48.000 Shocking.

00:29:48.420 Yeah.

00:29:49.140 I wonder, too, about like if you think about the interactions you have on a daily basis,

00:29:52.600 especially people who are online a lot.

00:29:55.260 But so many of them are negative.

00:29:57.700 You know, you're like people commenting, saying bad things, saying awful things, insults, you

00:30:04.020 know, just cold, awful behavior.

00:30:06.240 And if you're going to list, if you're going to list the last, like the top 100 bad experiences

00:30:13.800 you've had with people over the past year, I would guess at least 95, probably 99, maybe

00:30:21.660 100 of them would be with people online.

00:30:24.320 Right.

00:30:24.920 You know, you said that and I thought, I don't know I've had a bad experience with people.

00:30:30.640 Because people are actually not that awful when you're talking to them in person, but

00:30:34.500 we do so much less of that now.

00:30:36.680 You know, you wind up seeing so much of this where you're just getting your people are

00:30:40.180 yelling at you about politics or whatever else.

00:30:43.200 If you're one of those people who's online too much.

00:30:45.860 Yeah.

00:30:46.200 You know that life.

00:30:47.060 Like you wind up getting a really negative perception about the people around you.

00:30:50.520 That's true.

00:30:51.000 And I wonder if that just makes you colder.

00:30:52.960 Honestly, I'm thinking back.

00:30:54.500 I honestly cannot think of a bad experience.

00:30:59.560 Oh, no, I forgot a coworker.

00:31:01.680 Oh, no.

00:31:04.120 This is where this is.

00:31:05.100 Would it count if it's like a very close coworker?

00:31:08.040 Someone to like work in the same room with every day?

00:31:10.360 Is that?

00:31:11.080 It's only me and you here, Glenn.

00:31:12.880 I know who you're talking about.

00:31:15.000 And I feel the same way.

00:31:16.980 But you can't.

00:31:18.360 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

00:31:20.540 Need a little more?

00:31:21.580 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.

00:31:25.520 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:27.700 We're glad you're here.

00:31:31.020 Uh, you know, one of the things that we've been, we've been talking today about, you know, if they're elected, uh, if Walsh and Harris are elected.

00:31:43.100 Economically, it's a nightmare, an absolute nightmare.

00:31:49.460 Um, you know, the, the, the, the killing of the gig economy alone.

00:31:54.500 I mean, how many parents work, you know, uh, a gig so they can keep things going?

00:32:01.520 Uh, I mean, they are California.

00:32:03.620 The thing that they've already, they've already, uh, passed this.

00:32:07.060 It just really hasn't, uh, had the effect yet that it, oh, it will.

00:32:13.100 The price controls, all of these things, the send your kids off to war, all of these things that are so important that nobody's really talking about.

00:32:23.920 And they just have Trump derangement syndrome.

00:32:27.140 But the other one that I just, I don't understand is, I mean, they are really anti-parent.

00:32:34.340 Remember, Kamala was for BLM.

00:32:38.240 And one of the things for BLM was breakup of the nuclear family.

00:32:45.000 And, you know, she said, I understand them.

00:32:48.520 They have good point.

00:32:49.680 No, they didn't.

00:32:50.800 No, they didn't.

00:32:51.500 And they were violent.

00:32:53.600 And she bailed out the people who were violent.

00:32:56.600 And if you think the teachers' union won't become stronger and she's against the, uh, the school choice, how are parents dealing with that?

00:33:14.760 How are parents not seeing, wait, this is not good for my kids.

00:33:19.100 This is not good for, especially girls, man.

00:33:21.680 This is so bad.

00:33:22.760 Well, both.

00:33:23.660 Because boys are being emasculated and girls are now men, too.

00:33:30.660 Girls are just what if you choose to be a girl. 1.00

00:33:33.840 I mean, they're doing so much damage.

00:33:38.100 And how is it that we can't see this?

00:33:42.140 How is it parents aren't looking at their kids and the schools and everything they learned and not seeing this as a really hideous road to go down?

00:33:56.960 Ryan Walters, he is the Oklahoma State Superintendent for Schools.

00:34:01.880 We've had him on the program before, but he wrote a great op-ed for The Federalist.

00:34:06.880 I'd just like him to take us through it.

00:34:09.200 Ryan, welcome to the program.

00:34:10.620 Absolutely, Glenn.

00:34:12.780 Thank you for having me on.

00:34:14.040 You bet.

00:34:14.980 And you said exactly right.

00:34:16.580 I mean, I'm amazed.

00:34:18.320 I shouldn't be, I say, amazed or shocked, but the corporate media has run from the issue of education suddenly because this Harris-Waltz agenda, it's unconscionable.

00:34:28.260 And you can't even, you can't even the radical leftists are going, hey, put that on the back burner.

00:34:32.340 Let's, let's talk about something else right now.

00:34:34.380 Right.

00:34:35.060 So tell me, tell me about it.

00:34:36.860 Why, why are they, what do people need to know about them?

00:34:40.540 Yeah, let's take a look at Minnesota because you see here Kamala Harris put Governor Walz there on her ticket, and he is Mr. Teachers Union to his core, proud card-carrying member of the Teachers Union, and enacted every Teachers Union policy in Minnesota, including one which would stop courts from allowing parents to stop their kids from transitioning.

00:35:03.480 So basically, if you're a parent and you don't want your kid to go under a sex change, he pushed forward a law that would allow the government to take those kids from those parents and then block the parent from pursuing any kind of records, any kind of stoppages to that.

00:35:19.480 I mean, that's how extreme they are.

00:35:20.820 Not only do they want the sex change operation, they want to block parents. 0.84

00:35:23.680 They basically want to become a sanctuary city for the child sex operations there.

00:35:27.980 They pushed absolutely having boys' and girls' sports, boys' and girls' bathrooms.

00:35:32.960 They wanted tampons in the boys' bathrooms, so gender confusion at its height. 1.00

00:35:37.720 And, of course, they don't want school choice because school choice, again, if you want to push all those policies in a public school, it's bad enough.

00:35:44.740 But school choice at least starts giving parents the ability to fight back with their feet.

00:35:49.140 Oh, of course they fought that in Minnesota.

00:35:50.460 So you've got a guy here who has pushed the craziest Marxist radical theories from the teachers' union in action in Minnesota.

00:35:57.600 This isn't theoretical anymore.

00:35:59.040 He pushed these things and enacted them in Minnesota.

00:36:01.580 Yeah, but, I mean, the test scores.

00:36:03.360 What happened to the test scores in Minnesota?

00:36:06.200 Oh, they plummeted.

00:36:07.320 And, you know, that's the other thing that, as you've pointed out so many times so well on your show, you know, the reality is when you confuse a child to this degree, not only is it sick, not only does it harm them mentally, not only does it completely confuse them, how in the world do you ever get back to basic academics?

00:36:23.140 I mean, you have got these kids so thoroughly confused, so against the way God's created them.

00:36:28.220 You're spitting in the face of God's creation here that it's so confused.

00:36:32.320 Of course they can't perform on the test, and it is really, really damaging our kids in a tremendous way.

00:36:38.280 And, again, because of folks like you, Glenn, because of Donald Trump out there beating the drum every day going, guys, look what they're doing to your kids.

00:36:45.300 The mainstream media goes, all right, education, let's talk about something else.

00:36:48.620 I mean, they really – I mean, you talk about how the Democrats have always wanted to talk about education, and they've always just wanted more money for your government school, government school.

00:36:56.760 That's kind of gone away now, hasn't it?

00:36:58.380 Because they don't want to face the music on these issues.

00:37:02.300 So, you know, I've been thinking a lot about this, about what the – what Generation Z looks like and what the next generation looks like if we don't stop this.

00:37:18.120 I mean, I think we have just gutted this last generation, just gutted them.

00:37:23.760 What are they going to be – what are they going to – I mean, so many are not going to be able to have children.

00:37:29.640 They're not going to be able to know how to define a woman. 1.00

00:37:34.100 What happens to that generation?

00:37:37.980 Well, you know, here's the reality, and it's part of a bigger role that you helped uncover as well.

00:37:44.040 I mean, this is why they hate our history so much.

00:37:46.380 This is why they hate having the Bible in school.

00:37:48.260 You know, we're proud here in Oklahoma.

00:37:49.240 We're the first state to bring the Bible back to every classroom.

00:37:51.760 Why?

00:37:52.420 It played a huge role in our history.

00:37:53.780 It's undeniable.

00:37:54.600 You've got the artifacts, Glenn, and for them to deny this to our kids, what they want to do is they want to take them on this brave new world, right?

00:38:01.540 They want to take them on this 1984 path, this absurdity of a society that they want on our kids.

00:38:08.140 And what they've got to do is they've got to unmoor them from our history.

00:38:10.760 They can't look back.

00:38:11.760 They can't learn lessons from our past.

00:38:13.200 They can't learn who we are or the values we were founded on, those Judeo-Christian values. 0.61

00:38:17.160 That has to be wiped out for this to even be somewhat of a logical leap for them.

00:38:22.220 And so the reality is what they're going to do is create the most confused generation in the history of the world that is going to be so far from truth that I don't know if they can find their way back.

00:38:32.900 And that's why it's so essential to put the Bible back in schools, to put our history back in school so that kids can seek out truth, seek out what made America great, seek out what made individuals great. 0.84

00:38:45.040 How did individuals find happiness in society?

00:38:47.500 What worked?

00:38:48.300 What didn't?

00:38:48.840 Those are the conversations our kids should be having in our schools instead of being told, Johnny, you might be Susie.

00:38:56.040 I mean, it is the complete opposite of what an education should be.

00:38:59.940 So what, I mean, are parents kind of numb to all of this now?

00:39:08.020 Are you seeing parents still rising up in schools and saying, no, none of this?

00:39:14.880 Are they on guard?

00:39:15.740 Well, what's happened to the parents?

00:39:19.800 Look, parents are still on fire for it.

00:39:22.140 And I think, though, I'm going to tell you, Glenn, our elected officials have to act.

00:39:26.560 It's just like so many other situations.

00:39:29.380 We see this all the time.

00:39:30.280 Glenn, I'm criticized all the time by my own party.

00:39:32.400 I've got my own speaker up here trying to impeach me because we took genderqueer and flamer out of schools and we're putting the Bible in schools. 0.95

00:39:38.320 I got my own speaker coming after me over this.

00:39:40.160 Because you get elected officials.

00:39:41.840 What's his name?

00:39:42.460 Hang on just a second.

00:39:43.340 He's a Republican?

00:39:44.940 He's a Republican.

00:39:45.720 That's right.

00:39:46.140 And what's his name?

00:39:47.960 Charles McCall is his name.

00:39:49.840 Well, I'll be looking into Charles McCall.

00:39:53.900 And, Glenn, you know what?

00:39:55.300 They say what they've got to do to get elected, then they don't act.

00:39:57.760 And I'm going to tell you, this is the frustration from grandparents and parents.

00:40:01.200 We have talked about these things.

00:40:02.480 Every state, get CRT out of your school.

00:40:05.320 Get genderqueer and flamer out of your school. 1.00

00:40:07.060 There's no excuse.

00:40:08.580 Get it out.

00:40:09.880 Put the Bible in.

00:40:11.180 Hey, we also brought in William Bennett's Book of Virtues.

00:40:14.160 Hey, that's another good one.

00:40:14.740 That's a great book.

00:40:15.360 Every child in the state of Oklahoma now has access to the Book of Virtues.

00:40:19.500 We put it back in the schools, the Bible back in the schools. 0.98

00:40:22.400 Take out all this leftist, Marxist garbage and put in real academic literature. 0.95

00:40:28.980 Let's learn about our country. 0.96

00:40:30.500 Let's learn about these heroes throughout our history.

00:40:33.180 Let's get the kids excited about what America can be.

00:40:36.040 And I think the parents and grandparents, hey, look, they see President Trump out there fighting for them, getting shot at. 0.98

00:40:43.080 They're trying to kill him.

00:40:44.320 And then you see all these other elected Republican officials that go, you know, we'll get around to it.

00:40:48.700 We'll do something.

00:40:49.760 Just get us reelected.

00:40:51.320 Folks, we've got to act and we've got to demand that of our elected officials of go in there, get the schools back on track, protect our kids, go up there and do what you promised to do.

00:41:02.300 And unfortunately, you just don't see a lot of it.

00:41:05.280 Ryan, thank you so much.

00:41:07.060 Really appreciate your time.

00:41:08.140 That was a great article.

00:41:09.440 In fact, let me find the name of the article.

00:41:11.980 Well, Tim Walsh thinks your kids belong to the public school system.

00:41:15.900 You know, that is so true.

00:41:16.840 They actually just think that our kids, if we as parents disagree with them, our kids don't belong to us.

00:41:26.160 They belong to them.

00:41:27.180 It is terrifying.

00:41:28.540 Really.

00:41:29.080 A cult.

00:41:31.580 Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma State Superintendent.

00:41:35.320 Thank you so much for being on the program.

00:41:38.200 Thank you, Glenn.

00:41:38.840 Appreciate you very much.

00:41:39.720 You bet.

00:41:39.940 Bye-bye.

00:41:40.260 Na-na-na-na.
