On this episode of the Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck is joined by Rob Eno and Ami Horowitz to discuss the deep-rooted ties between the left and the KKK, and the need to fight back against them.
00:20:19.180Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the grounds it was only a minor part of the big picture.
00:20:29.820Give more emphasis to Russian history since communists took over.
00:20:32.820Um, support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of culture, education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
00:20:44.920Eliminate all laws and procedures which interfere with the operation of communists, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:50.040Uh, discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
00:21:11.280Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
00:21:18.620Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose communist goals.
00:21:28.000Replace communist goals with socialist and replace, um, uh, mental health laws, uh, use mental health laws of meaning, uh, as means of gaining coercive control over those with guns who oppose our socialist goals.
00:25:59.300But there are quite a bit of similarities, actually, between the left and the KKK, particularly around the way they view black people as segregation.
00:26:08.800So, I went to Columbia and I asked the university, Columbia University, exactly right, and I asked white students how they feel about separating black students from white students in graduations, in gyms, in housing.
00:26:23.060Because this has become a new kind of issue at universities where universities around the country, particularly all the Ivies, have been doing this now for a couple of years.
00:26:33.260And, of course, they all answered that they had no problem with it whatsoever.
00:26:52.620Colleges are creating separate housing, graduations, and even gyms for black students and other minorities.
00:26:59.080So, I went to Columbia University to find out what students think about this.
00:27:03.020Would you support segregated housing for black people?
00:27:13.400I think a lot of, like, schools have, like, interest housing where, like, black students can, like, and students of color can, like, live together.
00:33:12.140So, you know, the problem here is, is that they are, because I, I, I watch them and I listen and I'm trying to, I'm trying to figure out what are they feeling?
00:33:49.180I want to make sure that they're taken care of.
00:33:51.460And so you have this, you have this, uh, this smothering, uh, of, of, uh, people and a, and a cloaking of very racist things.
00:34:06.980All with understanding, peace, harmony, love, forgiveness, compassion.
00:34:14.820And I think it's why they don't see it.
00:34:18.100Yeah, no, I, I look, you're, you're absolutely right.
00:34:20.600Of course, they're both coming from different places in terms of motivation, but ultimately they're both looking at, at, at black people as less than, right?
00:34:30.880You can't, you can't find, you know, I did a video about voter ID a couple of years ago, which kind of blew up and it was essentially the same.
00:34:37.000I've done a number of these videos that are kind of, you know, race-based where they show the same thing, this, this condescension, this patronizing attitude that they look at black people and say, look, you need me to watch after you.
00:34:48.380You need me to make sure you can have your own environment in your own graduation, in your own gym.
00:34:54.400You need me to make sure that I can get you what you need, your ID, because you can't get your ID by yourself.
00:34:59.240So we've got to make sure you don't have to show ID to vote.
00:35:01.400All of these attitudes, yes, they, they, they're obviously different in terms of the motivation, but the end result is the same.
00:35:07.880And for a person who's black, that's kind of the only way I have to be looking at it.
00:35:11.380And, you know, the other major thing I hear, I think, and it's important to point out is that there is a, so when I asked college kids, I asked Columbia college kids who are black, how they feel about this.
00:35:24.920Now, when I went to a couple blocks off campus to ask the black community there, they were unanimous, absolutely unanimous.
00:35:32.500This was absolutely wrong and beyond the pale.
00:35:34.800But the thing is, there, there seems to be a massive chasm between black leadership, whether it be political leadership in the house, the Senate, or in the presidency, or among social activists, community leaders.
00:35:48.500They have, they are far more radical than the black community in general, which I've always thought is why there's a major opportunity for Republicans and the right to say, guys, that's not your home.
00:36:00.660These people, I know you think they're looking out for your best interest, but they're true.
00:36:04.740They have this, this real, again, kind of tension towards you that we don't have in our party.
00:36:09.860I think there's a real opportunity there.
00:36:11.420Well, it's, it's quite honestly why I think many Republicans don't reach out to the black community, they have a Hispanic community or whatever, because we don't think that way.
00:36:21.480We're just like, hey, this is working.
00:36:29.820And that's kind of, that's kind of thrown us.
00:36:32.800At the same time, the, the Democrats, it's always, it's always floored me that the guy who was stood against the Civil Rights Act and the Civil Rights Movement, Lyndon Johnson, suddenly, five years later, signs in the Civil Rights Act.
00:36:49.940And I, and I'm sorry, but I just don't believe change of heart.
00:36:53.940And I also don't believe, well, this is a strategic plan to, to be able to win the next election and blah, blah, blah.
00:37:00.560I really believe that there were people that were involved in that, that understood, well, look, these people can't take care of themselves.
00:37:16.420They're, this is the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:37:21.120You know, you're seeing now the fruit of that from the 1960s, where, you know what, we're just going to love and take care because they're just so weak and powerless.
00:37:30.960And we're just going to make sure that all these victims are taken care of by us.
00:37:34.680You're seeing the fruit of that right now.
00:37:37.060This is the best example of the road to hell is paved with good intentions I think I've ever seen.
00:37:45.060And that's why I keep saying we have an historic opportunity here.
00:37:48.880You know, look, I've been, I've done a number of these videos, you know, one video that kind of strikes me.
00:37:52.520Look, ultimately the left doesn't have any idea how, how the black African-American rank and file feels about particular issues, whether it be immigration or abortion or whatever happens to be.
00:38:05.080And I think that's where we have our opportunity.
00:38:07.100I remember I did a video once about when Black Lives Matter was kind of blowing up and I went to Brooklyn and I interviewed a bunch of, again, these white leftists.
00:38:15.260I said, how do you think, you know, black people in the Bronx and in Harlem feel about the NYPD?
00:38:26.980So then I went to, you know, I went to East Harlem and I had a t-shirt saying cops lives matter.
00:38:33.020You know, how, how provocative could that be?
00:38:35.340You know, what kind of rage am I could provoke this t-shirt?
00:38:38.420And I went there and every single person went up to me and said, oh my God, of course cops lives matter.
00:38:43.180They start telling these wonderful stories about how the police helped them in a particular situation.
00:38:47.800There is such a massive disconnect between how the left views black people and views what they think black people want versus the reality on the ground.
00:38:57.740And I can't stress enough, you know, these videos highlight that difference and we cannot lose this opportunity to make sure they realize that what's best for their community is not the left, which tells them what to think and what to do, but the right, which gives them the freedom to do what they want.
00:40:11.500I mean, I think enough people are watching that it drives discussion, but I think you're right.
00:40:15.180I mean, the people in, in, you know, the Washington corridor and, and up, you know, in the Northeast all follow Twitter and they think that everything's happening.
00:40:23.220But you ask a normal American, hey, did you see that story?
00:40:33.540If that's, you know, that's not what the price of chicken is, but, but that sort of thing.
00:40:36.120And I think that, but I think it's important to point out what they're doing because they're not misreporting news on, you know, because they're misreporting news because they make a mistake.
00:40:46.900They're misreporting and framing news because they want you to think a certain way.
00:40:54.120I mean, Brian Stelter over at CNN, I know he's nobody's favorite person, but Brian Stelter over at CNN this weekend, you know, talked about the Mueller report and how the narrative on it was shifting.
00:41:03.340And he actually used the word that we use to like, say, this is what they're trying to do.
00:41:07.640And he used the word to openly show that that's what they were trying to do with the Mueller report that found no collusion, did not find enough evidence for obstruction of justice because, you know, as my, some of my colleagues and in our colleague, Mark Levin likes to say, you can't obstruct justice if you're the president of the United States, because under article two, you run the justice department.
00:41:25.980And if you want to stop an investigation, you can stop an investigation.
00:41:29.580And the way to do that is to make that person not elected again.
00:41:32.340I mean, that's, there's the whole, there's the whole notion by those people that think the government is something other than the people we elect.
00:41:41.160They think that the government is this big, never changing thing that, that, that doesn't need somebody to be elected to run it.
00:41:50.800And that that person's just a, you know, a titular head.
00:41:53.360He's not somebody that can actually do something.
00:41:55.120And when he tries to do something, they find another way, mainly through the media, to, to stop him from doing it.
00:42:01.340Um, and you know, that, that's on a lot of ways it's on both sides, but you know, they never really went after Obama when he was doing some of the stuff.
00:42:09.280And I would say that he went a little bit further than Trump has in a lot of areas.
00:42:19.460I think that there, you know, you see it in the New York times, you see headlines like, um, his affectionate.
00:42:24.340You know, it was affectionate what he did.
00:42:28.420And in Mondays, I'm like, Monday was fun because it was April Fool's day.
00:42:31.880And I'm like, my, my, my subject line at the email was Brian Stelter is a great diet guy and never gets anything wrong.
00:42:38.240And then I said, these are not April Fool's jokes, except for this, because every day in the media, our congressional correspondent, Nate Madden tweeted out, you know, this is the thing about April Fool's day.
00:42:48.780It's the one day that people actually critically check articles that they see because they want to see if they're real, but they do this stuff every day.
00:42:55.520Um, and, and the Joe Biden thing is, is nothing different.
00:42:58.040And, you know, there, there, there are congressmen and senators that, that I know that, that were unhappy with Joe Biden during a swearing in because of the way that they, you know, way he handled himself or handled others.
00:44:15.020And it's, actually, it was John Solomon.
00:44:17.340There's a guy that during the entire Mueller investigation, the people at the Hill, the quote unquote reporters, were upset that John Solomon had a byline.
00:44:27.320John Solomon is a right of center media guy.
00:44:30.440He runs the Hill TV division and they let him write.
00:44:32.660And he was the one that came out with all of these, all of these scoops about what was really going on in the Mueller investigation.
00:44:39.340And they weren't finding collusion, but it was actually Hillary Clinton that was funding Fusion GPS.
00:44:43.600He was one of the guys that was coming out with a lot of these scoops.
00:44:46.180The people at the Hill that were on the reporter side got upset and made them put an opinion byline on John Solomon's stuff.
00:44:55.420Well, today John Solomon came out with, and I believe it was John Solomon, came out with unearthed video of Joe Biden joking to a foreign policy conference that he got the, basically the attorney general of Ukraine fired.
00:45:10.500Because the guy was looking into his son, his company that his son was on the board of, and Joe Biden threatened, Joe told this audience, and it wasn't a joke, that he told the president of Ukraine that you're not getting your billion dollars in foreign aid if this guy's still the attorney general.
00:46:03.920And they, you know, they say that, you know, Donald Trump continuing a business, business dealing, because he doesn't know if he's going to win to try and, you know, expand his real estate empire, you know, is something that, that should be looked at because it's nefarious.
00:46:17.700Or that people happen to want to stay at the Trump hotel when they go to DC because it's close to, you know, the White House and it's a, it's a nice place and you want to stay there.
00:46:27.280But foreign government staying there breaks the emoluments clause.
00:46:31.420I mean, I'm going to tell you, I have a feeling that, you know, George Washington sold cotton to people in Britain that were probably lords and sat in the House of Lords or the House of Commons back when he had a plantation in Virginia.
00:46:49.100I'm pretty sure that that was part of trade that, like, when he became president, his whole plantation didn't just stop running.
00:47:52.100And they put someone in place who was solid at the time.
00:47:54.560And then the opinion article reveals that, you know, Hunter Biden was working for the company that was being investigated by this prosecutor at the time.
00:48:05.500And can we verify that he was indeed fired at the time that Biden was there?
00:48:25.420So the other point that I've tried to make today was by focusing on the media as much as we do, we we accept this narrative that we're pretty powerless, that we don't have a very strong voice.
00:48:41.340We've had we have a stronger voice now than we've ever had.
00:48:51.540But talk a little bit about the the power of the right now and the power of the media that we do have.
00:48:59.160No, and I think, you know, here at the blaze here when it was conservative review before the merger, you know, with the Daily Caller News Foundation, all we're looking into things.
00:49:10.660The left may say, oh, that's not real reporting.
00:49:13.060But we have multiple voices because it's the democratization of information.
00:49:17.260That's what the Internet makes possible.
00:49:18.920And that's why it's so scary when you see people like Oliver Darcy, like Brian Stelter, like all of these people who sit there and say, well, we need to shut those voices down.
00:49:31.380We need to shut the Alex Joneses of the world down.
00:49:33.560We need to shut the Laura Loomers of the world down, who may be a little bit off center in a little way.
00:49:38.900But Laura Loomer did real investigative work, you know, when they say that we need to shut those voices down.
00:49:44.480And then when you see the guy that owns Facebook or runs Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, come out and say, we want government.
00:49:51.440I mean, the government should be more in control of the Internet.
00:49:54.460I mean, that's like in the Soviet Union, the government should be more in control of fax machines, which is one of the technologies that helped liberate the Soviet Union because people would fax each other.
00:50:04.420Dissidents would fax each other stuff because they couldn't find a way to stop the faxes from going through because it wasn't digital.
00:51:09.760It's it's like remember Dianne Feinstein back in the early 2000s when she wanted to basically have government sanctioned reporters like bloggers weren't real reporters.
00:51:20.960You know, when I was doing my my local Massachusetts place blog, Red Mask Group, where we uncovered stuff that the government was doing and got profiled and bought in some of the Boston newspapers and we shared the work with some of the Boston newspapers.
00:51:39.020You should have to be should have to have a government sanction to be protected.
00:51:43.500Ted Koppel told me that Ted Koppel said, Glenn, we've got to do something to have the government give license out for for people who are journalists.
00:51:55.200And I and I mean, I was like, Ted Koppel, are you crazy?
