Hello America, welcome to the podcast. This is one that you should listen to the long form podcast if you have time.
00:00:08.100
There is so much information that you need to know.
00:00:11.900
We talk about the convention, the great convention. We didn't even get to really any of the real highlights.
00:00:18.080
Like I thought the citizen swearing in of new citizens was fantastic.
00:00:23.580
I thought the the pardon was fantastic. But unfortunately, there's also pressing news coming out of Wisconsin.
00:00:31.800
I fear for the lives of some of these reporters from the Daily Caller and from the Blaze and and and others that are putting themselves on the front line.
00:00:42.220
And there was a bad shooting yesterday. There's some really dicey stuff going on now in the streets.
00:00:49.760
And we must be careful of our move because we are about to win.
00:00:55.560
And if we react incorrectly, it's going to hurt our case.
00:00:59.980
But we talk about that. We we also talk about the special that is happening on Wednesday night.
00:01:07.040
There's there's there's stuff happening in your schools that is that's all new.
00:01:12.100
You're not going to hear about it anyplace else. And not because of not because people don't care.
00:01:21.940
We had eight hundred files that were dumped and we've been going through them.
00:01:28.300
And it's shocking about what's happening with the teachers union and what's happening in the with the teachers.
00:01:33.320
We need your help. It's all going to be posted to Glenn Beck dot com.
00:01:37.040
And we need your help. We need people who are interested to go through these things.
00:01:40.920
But today is a very important show. Please don't miss a second of it.
00:01:48.840
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:59.560
I want you to listen to this quickly. This this confirms what I'm saying.
00:02:03.000
You're about to win. Listen to the freak out on the riots with CNN.
00:02:07.220
Don, and what's happening in Wisconsin, it's a Rorschach test for where this country is.
00:02:13.000
And I think it probably represents the biggest threat to the Democratic cause.
00:02:17.740
But when you said it's too little, too late, I don't know about that.
00:02:21.720
I mean, we still have a lot of time left until Election Day.
00:02:24.860
And I do think that this what you said was happening in Kenosha is a Rorschach test for the entire country.
00:02:32.360
And I think this is a blind spot for Democrats.
00:02:36.240
You think I think Democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away and it's not going to go away.
00:02:42.180
And so unless someone comes up with a solution over the next 73 days, 68 days, 68 days.
00:02:49.960
So it's not going to the problem is not going to be fixed by then.
00:02:54.360
But what they can do. And I think maybe Joe Biden may be afraid to do it.
00:03:00.160
I'm not sure. Maybe he won't. Maybe he is. He's got to address it.
00:03:04.280
He's got to come out and talk about it. Stop this. Look at what's happening.
00:03:08.460
Look what's happening. They know they're losing.
00:03:11.480
Do you think that CNN wants to say bad things about the Democratic Party, wants to tie these riots into the silence?
00:03:22.380
They are the most silent. The media is not covering it.
00:03:26.260
They've been calling them protests for months and all of a sudden they're returning back into riots because they're seeing it in the polls.
00:03:31.920
Yes. They're seeing that people are turning against Democrats in the polls.
00:03:35.240
And the thing that they need is somebody to respond to it.
00:03:40.080
That is anybody that they could even say he saw a picture of Hitler when he was in third grade.
00:03:46.140
He's a Hitler youth that I mean, anything they will use anything.
00:03:51.420
You're on the verge of winning. Don't do it. Don't do it.
00:03:56.920
They are being exposed for who they are in their arrogance.
00:04:00.820
They are being exposed. Donald Trump, please, somebody at the White House, please listen to me.
00:04:07.300
When this coverage is happening during parts of the GOP convention where it's talking about who we are as a nation,
00:04:16.360
just put up a secondary box with live riots in one of these cities.
00:04:27.440
We're talking about a bright future for America.
00:04:32.180
And this is what the Democrats are silent about.
00:04:45.980
It is a clear, stark choice between good and evil.
00:05:03.780
If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening.
00:05:11.620
If you've been listening to my show this year, I love Built Bars.
00:05:16.540
This is a client I asked to be on the show because I didn't listen to my wife again.
00:05:19.580
And she's been telling me about it, but it has a protein bar on it.
00:05:33.820
In addition to the 12 original flavors, Built Bar just added cookies and cream, carrot cake,
00:05:38.580
caramel brownie, lemon almond cheesecake, apple almond crisp.
00:05:45.720
Delicious, nutritious, high protein, low calorie, high fiber, low carbs, 100% real chocolate,
00:05:53.860
Plus, they've reset the code for this new launch.
00:06:03.660
On the ABC podcast, where they were covering the convention, they stumbled onto the secret
00:06:18.180
Last night, though, at the Republican National Convention, some of the more fringe personalities
00:06:25.840
Nothing prepared me for what I saw on the screen.
00:06:30.780
An unborn baby fighting back, desperate to move away from the suction.
00:06:37.520
Early in the evening, a former Planned Parenthood employee gave a graphic description of what
00:06:57.280
Planned Parenthood had already said her account was not supported by documents, but the real
00:07:01.160
questions were over her other past comments, like when she suggested reverting to household
00:07:06.300
votes where husbands voted for wives, or comments earlier this summer where she said police would
00:07:14.940
Democrats pressured schools to allow boys to compete in girls' sports and use girls' locker
00:07:25.360
And Abby Johnson is here to answer for her fact crime.
00:07:37.140
To answer your question, no, I did not know that it had a smell.
00:07:41.700
And I, I'm so wildly curious, but I don't want to ever know.
00:07:46.880
So thank you, uh, for your, your testimony last night.
00:07:51.480
Um, being a fringe candidate, let's, let's our fringe of a speaker.
00:07:56.440
Um, let's just first ask you a couple of questions.
00:07:59.220
The thing about, you know, profiling your, your son, biracial son, is that because you don't
00:08:16.180
He's probably out hijacking your car, carjacking your car right now, right now.
00:08:32.100
I talked about different conversations that I'm going to have to have with my biracial son
00:08:38.900
than I'm going to have to have with my white kids.
00:08:44.320
And, um, I basically just, I talked about statistics.
00:08:49.360
I talked about violent crimes in the black community.
00:08:54.060
Um, I talked about what that's going to look like for my son.
00:09:02.200
Somehow, somehow that turned into me being okay with, um, police profiling my, uh, profiling
00:09:20.860
And treating him unjustly, which I, I clearly said in the video, if my son is treated unjustly
00:09:33.120
Why do you want your husband to make all the decisions in the house and vote for you?
00:09:43.980
It was actually sort of a funny, uh, tweet a long time ago.
00:09:49.220
Like, Hey guys, tell me like the most interesting, most controversial things that swirl through
00:09:54.840
your head, which we got the funniest responses.
00:09:57.980
It was like the most interesting, funniest tweet I've ever put on Twitter.
00:10:02.500
And, um, I say in there like, Hey, you know what I think is interesting?
00:10:12.540
Um, all of a sudden now I want to take back a woman's right to vote.
00:10:31.440
If the husband was dead, it was the, it was a household vote.
00:10:35.440
So it didn't matter if it was male or female, who was the head of the household.
00:10:40.160
And they did it because they wanted people to have skin in the game.
00:10:46.080
If you owned your house, you had skin in the game so you could go, but you had one vote
00:10:52.380
Anyway, it's, I mean, why we're even talking about that is crazy.
00:10:54.880
I just think it's, I just think it's an interesting concept.
00:10:57.600
I mean, I never was like, women should never be allowed to vote, but suddenly, but look,
00:11:07.500
I made it very clear what I was going to talk about in my speech.
00:11:11.500
So now here come all of the leftist pro aborts that are like, let's dig up everything she's
00:11:19.340
ever said that we can completely take out of context.
00:11:22.300
That we can misconstrue and let's twist it around and let's take the focus off of what
00:11:29.560
she's actually, actually going to say in her talk, because she's going to expose the barbarity
00:11:47.620
Um, you know, there's a movie out about you that I, I think you are a real hero.
00:11:53.480
You were a Democrat and you were the employee of the year for Planned Parenthood.
00:12:01.360
Um, and you talked about the Margaret Sanger award.
00:12:04.500
And I read a story a couple of days ago that they're quietly backing away from Margaret Sanger.
00:12:11.600
No, I mean, I think it's a, I think it's just a, sort of a PR stunt right now because they
00:12:20.400
had, um, they had some employees come out and talk about, you know, how Planned Parenthood
00:12:33.420
And, uh, they talked about, these employees talked about Margaret Sanger and her jaded
00:12:40.300
Um, and so now I think they're sort of trying to, to back away from Planned Parenthood.
00:12:45.640
New York came out and said, no, we're changing the name of our building because of it and
00:12:54.540
Do you really believe that the, um, abortion clinics of Planned Parenthood are placed in
00:13:03.560
the, uh, black areas of towns primarily, uh, because they still want to eliminate the
00:13:17.380
I think that there is a racial component there, but I think it's also a business strategy.
00:13:23.540
Um, I mean, but when you look at the allegations that are being made by these employees that
00:13:29.420
have left Planned Parenthood, um, you know, the allegations of racism, I mean, there is
00:13:34.780
still definitely this, this foundational racism that still flows throughout the corporate
00:13:44.600
Um, you said last night that this is the most, uh, anti-abortion president we've ever had.
00:14:04.440
I mean, if you look at the policies that he's passed, if you look at the number of policies
00:14:11.180
that he's passed, um, and if you look at the two Supreme Court justices that he has appointed
00:14:18.540
and their votes on, uh, on issues that have come before them, pro-life issues that have
00:14:24.840
come before them and the way that they have voted, um, I mean, it's pretty.
00:14:42.440
Um, but even just with the convention, I mean, there's never been a former abortion worker
00:14:50.380
Um, I mean, life was, has really been a core component of what's been raised and talked
00:14:59.400
And when you compare that to the fact that for the first time in years, no one from Planned
00:15:07.680
Parenthood, no one from the abortion lobby stepped on the stage at the DNC this year.
00:15:22.880
I will tell you that, uh, you know, I, I found it interesting that the networks were saying
00:15:27.380
that, you know, you were on, you were a fringe candidate and you were on when the networks
00:15:36.320
If you think this person is so dangerous and so fringy, that would be the one I'd say,
00:15:40.980
move the commercials or, you know, shut Stephanopoulos up or whatever.
00:15:45.340
We're covering this because this person is a crackpot, but they didn't cover you, which
00:15:50.740
to me says, they know that your message last night would be very effective.
00:16:01.760
You know, MSNBC actually cut away to a commercial as soon as I stepped up and began speaking.
00:16:08.840
Um, they don't want their audience to hear what I have to say.
00:16:14.700
Um, surprisingly CNN, uh, they did, um, air my talk.
00:16:31.820
What do you think this election is really all about?
00:16:36.880
Cause I don't think it's about Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
00:16:44.980
Oh, um, I mean, I, I think that, um, I mean, you're right.
00:16:54.800
I don't think that it's about, I don't think it's about Trump.
00:16:59.100
I mean, I think that, um, where do we, I think we're on the verge, I think we're on
00:17:08.820
You know, I just did an hour, um, and where I said, you know, I think we could be in civil
00:17:14.700
Uh, you know, this thing is coming apart at the seams, uh, you know, all the crazy things
00:17:20.300
that I was talking about in, in 08, 9, 10, 12, they're all, it's all happening right now.
00:17:26.440
Uh, and, uh, it, for the first time I looked up to Stu and I said, any of that sound like
00:17:35.020
And he said, no, I think it all could very well happen tomorrow.
00:17:44.020
This is a choice between good and evil, and it is a choice between survival and suicide
00:18:04.300
And we're seeing that happen in, in cities, in democratic cities across the country right
00:18:09.060
And I think the more that it happens, the more people are being convinced to vote for
00:18:18.860
Uh, Abby, thank you so much for everything that you have, uh, done in the past and continue
00:18:30.080
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:35.000
I, I beg of you to, uh, support and pray for Elijah Schaefer and everyone who is working
00:19:01.040
now on the streets in these riots, please pray for, uh, for a hedge of protection around
00:19:09.140
Uh, yesterday we had Elijah on and he was talking to us about, uh, you know, somebody
00:19:16.600
And as we told him, he didn't realize at the time, the guy dry fired, he just pulled the
00:19:26.120
Well, last night he finds himself in the middle of a shootout where somebody is, uh, well,
00:19:38.420
Um, the other, the shooter, Elijah had interviewed shortly before, uh, and I, I, I said to him
00:19:47.960
yesterday, please reconsider, but these guys are the war reporters of our day.
00:20:01.960
Uh, so Elijah, first of all, uh, I saw you on with, uh, Steven Crowder yesterday on the
00:20:06.900
blaze and again, terrifying for me, at least watching you.
00:20:13.240
Um, uh, can you tell me the names of the reporters that are with you?
00:20:18.440
Not just with the blaze who's with, who's with you every night.
00:20:29.280
Um, considering the fact that in these, uh, in this event, Twitter, uh, likes to curate
00:20:35.720
this event as breaking news, but the people they referenced and the articles they used,
00:20:40.420
uh, happened to be the people who were not actually on the ground.
00:20:44.060
It's a disinformation campaign, but the people who were there, I always say this, even if
00:20:48.820
you don't like their commentary, video evidence does not lie.
00:20:57.140
There is, uh, George Ventura from the daily caller doing great work.
00:21:01.340
There's also Shelby Talcott and Richie McGinnis.
00:21:05.740
And there's a couple more, uh, there's Kalen Dalmeida.
00:21:09.700
Um, he is from Scriber news, their independent, uh, think tank and news source.
00:21:14.380
Uh, and then we also have on top of that, Julio Rozos from town hall, uh, and then drew from
00:21:24.280
And there's this group of people not directly connected, uh, just eager to show America what
00:21:30.320
is actually happening because I think America is desperate to know, and they deserve and
00:21:39.280
Elijah, I don't know if I can get my hands on eight.
00:21:42.420
I think I counted eight, um, uh, but I am going to send up, uh, bulletproof vests for
00:21:52.420
I don't care if they work for the blaze or not.
00:21:57.700
So I'm going to, I'm going to see if I can rate even my, my family's, uh, vests, uh, and
00:22:06.960
Um, and, and, and I please wear them, please wear them.
00:22:17.960
I think, I think like probably the, the, the person who's sitting there listening to this,
00:22:24.280
you think, why would I need to wear a bulletproof vest on the public streets and the neighborhoods
00:22:33.820
Because I know, I, we all know America is a great place, but it's, it's got its wild,
00:22:42.380
And, and there are certain areas and certain jobs that maybe would require them, but using
00:22:47.780
a camera and just filming what are constitutional rights, should that put you in, in the path
00:22:55.520
Tell America, tell America what you witnessed last night, what happened last night?
00:23:02.860
Uh, I need to give a precursor, which is something that at least we, we do at, at blaze, but they
00:23:09.980
And just let you know that all of this is alleged that people are innocent until proven guilty.
00:23:14.820
And so all of these, uh, details, um, should be scrutinized and we're still putting some
00:23:19.940
of the story together and we don't know everything.
00:23:22.620
Uh, but I will tell you this, that, uh, I was following some black block, what appeared
00:23:28.960
to be Antifa inspired individuals, as well as black lives matter rioters.
00:23:34.740
Uh, this is during a state of emergency, violating a curfew.
00:23:38.980
And in an unlawful and illegal assembly declared by the sheriffs and, uh, local law enforcement,
00:23:46.620
we were pushed back, uh, outside of the uptown Kenosha, Wisconsin area.
00:23:52.200
Now, by who you were pushed back by who we are pushed back by the law enforcement who the
00:23:58.880
mayor was given emergency powers to handle and to disperse writers.
00:24:04.540
Now, Washington post, uh, I will say called the victims in this shooting, uh, protesters.
00:24:14.020
Um, this group I was following, uh, was armed with metal bats with hammers and in some cases,
00:24:25.060
We came upon a car lot, uh, sort of like a car shop and immediately, uh, like any peaceful
00:24:32.900
protester would do fighting for, uh, equality and against police brutality.
00:24:38.500
They, uh, decided to completely destroy every single vehicle that they could lay their eyes
00:24:45.340
on and not just through minor, you know, kicks and bumps.
00:24:49.100
I mean, throwing boulders through the front window till glass shattered one by one, taking
00:24:58.620
And even to the point, a brand new looking infinity SUV, something that a family probably used,
00:25:05.420
somebody loves, you know, cars are a part of our lives, lighting it on trying, lighting
00:25:10.760
I mean, just straight up being arsons, um, they were, they were taking apart every car
00:25:19.280
And the worst part is, is according to one of the writers who was with the group, he's
00:25:27.460
So the tables have turned, the writers can't even tell who's their own, destroying their
00:25:39.720
This was felony criminal targeting of private property.
00:25:45.300
So then you do an interview with somebody, um, and they're being labeled today as white supremacists.
00:25:55.580
You know, um, unfortunately for us, uh, that seek the truth, everybody who does something
00:26:02.900
that is advantageous to the radical and far left agenda will be labeled a white supremacist.
00:26:08.660
Even if you're black, uh, you'll be labeled that if you're a Jew, you'll be labeled that
00:26:14.260
Um, but these groups of individuals, um, I, I did something that's lost and you know, this,
00:26:20.140
we actually interviewed people instead of speculating to find out who they were and what
00:26:25.840
Um, there were a couple of groups and I don't know if they're connected.
00:26:28.700
There were, uh, people wearing Hawaiian shirts, maybe inspired by certain, um, movements, uh,
00:26:39.580
There were also libertarian, um, libertarian, malicious style, uh, multi-ethnic, by the way,
00:26:48.260
And then there were some other individuals in similar fatigues that were defending businesses
00:26:54.580
And I asked them, you know, what, what are you doing?
00:26:58.740
I don't know if all the groups were connected organizationally, but everybody I talked to
00:27:04.240
who clearly was in military, you know, uh, fatigues of some sort had two common factors.
00:27:11.080
Number one, they said that they supported the riots that they, I mean the, and the protests.
00:27:15.960
In fact, they believe the insurrection against the government in some ways is part of the protected
00:27:21.560
But they also, number two, uh, continually said that they didn't believe that we had the
00:27:29.540
And I watched as this man who we are going to find out is the alleged shooter, innocent
00:27:37.360
And we don't even know if he's in the wrong once investigations happen.
00:27:41.040
Uh, we're not sure yet what, what the full situation is.
00:27:44.500
He is an EMT, uh, from his own words, and he was offering medical help to injured black
00:27:51.580
So I don't know about you, but that's a pretty bad white supremacist.
00:27:55.680
It's not only he verbally supports the black lives matter movement, but also offers medical
00:28:02.780
So, but he was carrying a long rifle, was he not?
00:28:07.500
And he told me that he was, he himself was only carrying lethal rounds.
00:28:13.140
And he was capable and willing to use lethal force if he had to, to defend, uh, the property
00:28:23.220
And I just got pepper sprayed by a person in the crowd.
00:28:32.060
So you guys are full on ready to defend the property.
00:28:42.460
So it shows that they were there to protect that air, that, that particular building,
00:28:48.520
but also it shows that they were providing medical and it didn't matter who was, was
00:28:54.820
Um, then how, about an hour later, I'm going to play the video and describe the scene.
00:29:10.740
I think that's the guy you interviewed and he had a long rifle and he was shooting at
00:29:17.820
So, uh, while we were at the car lot, I, I do not know what started the initial altercation
00:29:26.800
And it's okay as a reporter to just say, yeah, we need more, more video evidence.
00:29:32.320
But at certain point there was an altercation between this man and another man at the car
00:29:41.240
Um, so at least more than three or four, uh, in a very quick burst, which sent a lot of
00:29:47.740
us running because they, you know, appeared to go through the car.
00:29:52.860
And when you see someone raise their rifle and start shooting, uh, usually that's a good
00:29:59.060
Uh, but the moment within seconds, somebody screamed, you know, I shot someone, oh my gosh.
00:30:06.960
And people are going, I, it was just chaos for a second.
00:30:12.960
And I went ahead and, uh, ran, ran over as fast as possible, uh, right back to the situation.
00:30:20.500
And a man had been, what appeared to have been shot in the head.
00:30:24.180
Um, I, I'm not going to get into everything else, but I know that the, the guy who, who
00:30:29.500
allegedly shot him, um, did take off running and good for him because I'm pretty sure they
00:30:39.060
I've seen this happen before, uh, like in Dallas, um, whether it was justified or not,
00:30:45.680
However, when he was running there, there was a, uh, altercation to try to disarm him,
00:30:55.600
And as the guy who jumped on him to try to disarm him is got his arm badly, badly shot.
00:31:04.040
Um, Elijah Schaefer, please tell all of the reporters with you, please, please listen to
00:31:11.260
promptings and, and do everything you can to stay safe.
00:31:16.760
Um, Elijah Schaefer, thank you for what you guys do.
