The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Andrew Kolvet & Katie Pavlich ｜ 4⧸27⧸26

00:00:00.000 wow we i don't even know where to begin on today's show uh yet another shooting um and

00:00:07.280 i tried to stay calm and rational and i didn't make it all the way uh through the show like that

00:00:12.820 because the problem is really deep um and i talk about it when i talk about choosing your god

00:00:19.000 and i kind of made some of the insiders a little angry with me um because i said this guy this

00:00:24.860 shooter's not evil. I think he's more frightening than evil. He thinks he was good. He thinks he

00:00:30.960 was Bonhoeffer. Swalwell, he knew he was a bad guy. This guy didn't. And it's what's happening

00:00:41.340 to a lot of our society. And quite honestly, I think our children, they're slowly being brainwashed

00:00:47.800 And they are coming to radically different conclusions about life.

00:00:52.860 Also, Andrew Colvett is with us.

00:00:56.000 He was at the dinner.

00:00:58.180 He's with TPUSA and Erica Kirk.

00:01:00.680 He gives us an update on that.

00:01:01.900 It was horrible.

00:01:03.580 And Katie Pavlich also joins us.

00:01:05.540 She was also at the dinner.

00:01:07.100 It's interesting to hear what they actually saw and went through at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

00:01:15.920 There's all that and so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:19.720 So right now, everybody's watching the war in Iran, hoping that it ends quickly.

00:01:23.760 But there's something that people are not talking about.

00:01:25.820 Even if it does end tomorrow, the aftershocks are just getting started because the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted.

00:01:31.440 And that doesn't just fix itself overnight.

00:01:34.400 Ships that are arriving today left ports months ago.

00:01:36.900 And right now, shipments are backed up and supplies are tightening.

00:01:40.280 And other parts of the world are already feeling the shortages that we haven't fully felt yet.

00:01:44.680 which means what you're seeing now is the beginning.

00:01:47.600 This affects shipping, manufacturing, and eventually medical supply chains.

00:01:51.140 And when the system slows down, medication shortages do follow.

00:01:54.460 And by the time that you get it at your local pharmacy, it's too late.

00:01:58.080 That's why I recommend Jace Medical.

00:03:10.800 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program i want to uh i want to start with uh

00:03:20.940 i think it's three guys um trump um calling out the dems violent rhetoric listen to this

00:03:28.920 political violence has touched so many people in that room is there something that you as

00:03:36.920 president can do? What can be done to change the trajectory? You know, you go back 20 years, 40 years, 100 years, 200 years, 500 years, it's always been there. People are assassinated. People are injured. People are hurt. And I'm not sure that there's any more now than there was. I do think that the hate speech of the Democrats much more so is very dangerous. I really think it's very dangerous for

00:04:06.900 country. I have to tell you, Jennifer Say from XXYY, I was reading an article from her. She

00:04:13.840 was there. She's not a political person. She went for the first time and she said

00:04:17.500 she saw signs, rapist. She was called a rapist for even attending. You're a rapist. You're a 0.98

00:04:23.840 fascist. All of these signs leading into it. What do you think people are? And what is the 1.00

00:04:28.800 president supposed to do about that? O'Donnell? What is the president supposed to do? Katie

00:04:35.140 Pavlich, host of Katie Pavlich tonight, is with us. She was there with News Nation on Saturday.

00:04:45.400 Katie, we are so glad that you're okay and that everybody's all right. How are you feeling today?

00:04:51.180 Thanks, Glenn. I was trying to reflect yesterday about what happened,

00:04:57.700 but the feeling I keep coming back to is anger and frustration that this continues to happen.

00:05:05.140 You know, that guy who...

00:05:07.200 Explain anger.

00:05:10.140 Because, you know, being in the room and watching Caroline Levitt, who's nine months pregnant, have to be taken out of the room because there's someone outside trying to assassinate her boss and the people she works with.

00:05:26.900 and for her potentially watching people who I've known for 16 years, who are my friends.

00:05:34.340 Pete Hegseth, for example, was in the room and then they took him outside.

00:05:38.800 And once they opened the doors, I was out in the hallway and he came by with his wife, Jennifer.

00:05:44.740 And we said hello to each other and said, it's nice to see you.

00:05:49.920 And then they whisked him away and he went off to the White House.

00:05:53.060 but it's just it's just infuriating that this continues to be something that is acceptable

00:05:59.120 um and you know i thought going into the night that security was going to be

00:06:05.420 tough i thought it would take me an hour to get into the hotel it it was not tough at all i walked

00:06:10.940 by those same protesters you were just talking about with their palestinian flags and they were

00:06:15.300 screaming that they hoped our dresses were ruined that our night was ruined that we were fascists

00:06:18.880 were going to the dinner um he walked right into the hotel and the security downstairs uh

00:06:25.920 magnetometers were right above the ballroom a stairwell away from what everything that was

00:06:31.040 happening in the room um yeah it's infuriating um and the manifesto i think speaks for itself

00:06:40.600 but it's just it's infuriating it's just that it happened at all let me ask you this um you know

00:06:48.240 we saw a couple of pictures there in the room, um, uh, you know, that you just can't fake, um,

00:06:54.540 Stephen Miller, um, also, um, you know, our, uh, defense secretary, uh, standing up and shielding

00:07:02.740 their wives. Um, and then, and then, you know, pretty in pink, I hear, you know, people, you

00:07:11.300 know, rushing to the white house. In fact, I want to give the quote, what, what was it? The quote

00:07:15.180 was many of us ran to the White House in very heroic ways

00:07:22.580 to make sure that we were there for the press conference.

00:07:25.000 And I don't think I've ever heard a sentence with heroic and ran in the same sentence.

00:07:32.780 But these journalists, A, I think experienced something for the first time.

00:07:38.940 They thought they might be in the line of fire.

00:07:40.940 and then they they seem to just make themselves out into heroes what did you actually see

00:07:49.080 so we were in the room um they got everyone in and they closed the doors they sealed off the room

00:07:56.800 then they brought in president trump the first lady announced them at the front of the room i

00:08:01.300 was closer to the back of the room near the doors where the press and everybody else entered

00:08:05.220 they announced the president we did the the color guard came in we did the the uh the national

00:08:11.800 anthem president trump was seated and about five minutes uh into him being seated and everybody

00:08:17.240 starting to get you know comfortable then because i was close to the doors i heard the the gunshots

00:08:24.560 and people started hearing them and then because the front of the room was so loud

00:08:29.600 people didn't know what was happening up near the stage so we heard the gunshots people around me

00:08:35.980 went down on the floor um it was very packed i don't know how they're capable of actually having

00:08:42.940 that many people in there it was impossible if we needed to leave the room for people to get out

00:08:47.080 so many people got on the floor i was trying to see where the threat was i was trying to see

00:08:52.240 if there was someone in the room or if there was someone outside of the room to me it sounded like

00:08:56.920 it happened outside of the room but we weren't sure then glass starts breaking you see secret

00:09:01.800 service running down the middle of the room to get to the president and they were taken out very

00:09:06.560 quickly i mean i turned my head and the president was gone um so they got him out very quickly but

00:09:11.460 then they were trying to find other people cabinet secretaries who were sitting in the room and they

00:09:15.480 were spread out because different news outlets were right you know they invited hosting was

00:09:20.500 guests at their tables right so all these different security details are trying to find

00:09:24.860 their people to get them out of the room um and when i heard the shots to me it sounded like a

00:09:31.400 controlled situation because it ended quickly there was not a real exchange of gunfire it was

00:09:37.140 not something that continued there were about there were five shots when you listen to the audio and

00:09:41.500 it was over so to me that indicated that secret service or some other law enforcement agency that

00:09:47.460 was there had handled the situation and it was not in the room um but people weren't sure exactly

00:09:53.760 would happen and there's no secure there was no service in the room really there was some wi-fi

00:09:57.780 but it was very sporadic so people couldn't usually shut that down outside right exactly

00:10:03.040 when the president is in the room they usually shut all of that stuff down so nobody can activate

00:10:08.020 a bomb using cell service well right and that that was the other you know there's so many

00:10:14.820 questions here about the security i mean this guy checked into the hotel um and he had you know he

00:10:21.340 I just think it's a miracle that he was an amateur.

00:10:24.240 If this had been an organized terrorist group or if this had been a suicide bomber who was able to get into even the upper level above the ballroom, there were thousands of people in the hotel, including captain secretaries, at parties before the event started.

00:10:41.920 So this perpetrator waited until the president was seated.

00:10:46.320 Clearly, he was watching on television.

00:10:48.500 And that's when he tried to get into the room.

00:10:51.340 um and he was stopped so secret service did their job um but the lead-up to it if it had

00:10:57.460 been more organized uh yeah did you see professional would have been a much worse

00:11:04.300 situation for everybody did you see anybody in the room uh katie that um prayed

00:11:12.000 i don't i don't think i was paying that close attention but glad to be honest i was looking

00:11:19.820 to see you know where we needed to be where people were going um once people realized and the doors

00:11:25.680 opened that the threat was over and they were letting people leave people did run out on one

00:11:32.520 side they wanted to get out of there other people stood around to try and see if the president was

00:11:36.460 coming back there was some talk of him maybe coming back the presidential seal was still on

00:11:40.100 the podium on the lectern um he had said he wanted to come back but then secret service

00:11:45.140 eventually said we're not going to do that and once the seal came off i knew that he wasn't

00:11:49.160 going to be coming back into the room um but people were scared people were on the floor they

00:11:54.580 were very nervous they should have been scared but the fact is that this perpetrator was not

00:11:58.440 there for them he was there for republicans who work for donald trump and they were there for

00:12:04.080 donald trump the media i think absolutely plays a huge role in all of this um but now they found

00:12:14.640 themselves a little bit in the crossfire do you think this will change them at all i think there's

00:12:21.240 any change coming to the people in the media i'd like to say yes but i don't think so um

00:12:30.720 i think that they're maybe today and this week there'll be some reflection but the rhetoric that

00:12:36.800 we saw we've seen um from many in the media is very similar to what is in the manifesto um calling

00:12:44.280 president a fascist calling him a nazi saying he's a existential threat to the country um that

00:12:50.920 is coming from many in the media and it's coming from many mainstream democrats so they've wrapped 0.79

00:12:56.440 themselves they have too much political capital in this narrative uh to to change it unfortunately

00:13:02.840 this is the this is the third assassination attempt plan this is not the first one

00:13:06.680 and we haven't seen changes so far um so i'm not sure it will change

00:13:11.640 the president refuses to i mean i've asked him several times and um he'll always he'll cut me

00:13:19.640 off every time um and i've talked to him privately about it mr president i am so concerned about the

00:13:24.880 secret service glenn it's fine it's all fine i've looked into it i trust them but mr president i

00:13:31.380 don't want to talk about it anymore i mean he is he he's you know he grew up with the power

00:13:38.740 positive thinking norm and vincent peele was his pastor growing up in new york and so he does not

00:13:44.120 like to put things into his head that are negative and he doesn't like to talk about them or discuss

00:13:49.500 them um and i trust that you know it's his life i trust that he has looked into this but

00:13:55.180 are you convinced the secret service is

00:13:58.800 capable of protecting our president and the republic

00:14:04.540 so um i i actually interviewed the president in january and asked him the same question about his

00:14:12.500 safety and you know there are plans for him to go out and campaign for republican candidates ahead

00:14:18.040 of the midterm elections um a lot saturday night they did do their job they got they there was no

00:14:25.780 one who got into the room the president was the guy they got the guy the guy the president was

00:14:29.840 taken out of the room immediately if you watch the video the secret service stood right in front of

00:14:34.220 the president, which is their job, in case there had been someone in the room to protect him.

00:14:39.660 So they did do their job on that level when something happened. However, given the fact

00:14:47.520 that this person checked into this hotel and that the hotel was still operating while the entire

00:14:53.240 cabinet and the president of the United States was in the building, and the fact that there was no

00:14:58.440 real security perimeter at all for everyone else um that is a failure so two things can be true at

00:15:07.400 once they did their job to protect the president but the other factors of the night were atrocious

00:15:15.880 um you know waiving your ticket to get in maybe there was no id check there was no list of names

00:15:22.120 anybody could have gotten in so long as you you know went to the bagnetometer um

00:15:26.760 There were no really working. I saw one working dog. That's it in inside the hotel.

00:15:34.480 So the perimeter to get in, I mean, there was no check at the street. Anybody could have walked into the building.

00:15:40.820 Katie, Katie, when when you when you look back at this, what is the one thing that you are going?

00:15:48.060 What was the image or the one thing that you're going to live with?

00:15:51.800 just remember you know hearing that the gunshots and wondering if there was someone in the room

00:15:59.120 and knowing immediately that the target was the president um and then hearing the glass breaking

00:16:06.460 and and watching you know katie miller being escorted out of the room with her husband when

00:16:12.440 she's she's also pregnant um people frantically trying to get their their families out of there

00:16:18.160 and also you know once they got the president out the SWAT team I don't know if it's officially

00:16:23.700 the SWAT team so forgive me if the language is not proper but they were in the room going table

00:16:28.680 to table trying to see what was going on but it was very difficult for them to move around they

00:16:33.740 were walking on tables on chairs because people were on the floor and even if the floor was not

00:16:39.080 covered in people it was so hard to move around in that room even if you were just nothing was

00:16:44.680 happening and it wasn't chaotic so just the sounds the scenes um but also i'll remember the

00:16:50.340 president's words at the white house i walked from the hotel to the white house to get into

00:16:54.400 that press conference and listening to him say look we need to come together and tone down

00:16:59.520 the temperature you know politics is supposed to be a substitute for violence and at this point we

00:17:07.120 have one side of the political aisle that is continually pushing the envelope and promoting

00:17:13.220 people in their party who have called for murder and they're trying to do it. So where's, where's

00:17:21.200 that stop? Katie, I have real respect for you and really admire you and, and thank you for your

00:17:27.680 grace, literally under fire. And thanks for coming on today. I appreciate it. And I'm glad you're

00:18:52.380 Now back to the podcast.

00:18:54.060 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:18:58.660 So this killer, if you read his manifesto, and I don't recommend it.

00:19:03.200 I can just summarize it for you.

00:19:04.720 He thought he was working for God.

00:19:07.560 He thought he was Bonhoeffer. 0.88

00:19:08.900 He said, I've got to stop all the pedophiles. I have to stop all of the racists. I have to stop all the fascists. And it's left up to me. And he then apologized to his family and everybody else. And he seems like a really, really nice guy. 0.98

00:19:24.380 Let me just tell you, he's not obviously a really nice guy, but he's not evil either. He's not crazy, and he's not a lone wolf.

00:19:34.780 He was a guy who had an awful lot of potential, very, very smart, and got himself wrapped up in the left, was part of the No Kings March and everything else, and started to believe all this.

00:19:47.040 and then started to convince himself that he was on a mission from God,

00:19:52.780 that he had to do the right thing to save the Republic from all of these pedophiles.

00:19:58.600 I want to talk to you about this because I have been saying this for a while,

00:20:05.060 and it is so important that we take every moment to recognize we've just taken another step towards darkness.

00:20:12.400 So you need to take another step and a half towards the light.

00:20:17.040 This guy was not evil. This guy thought he was doing right. The only way out of this situation

00:20:26.720 now is the God revolution of the past. Not a revolution with guns, but quite honestly, 0.99

00:20:32.920 that's what got us out of the 1860s. That's what got us out of the 1700s, was a God revolution.

00:20:38.340 That was a God revolution. When we went into the Civil War, that was a God revolution. 0.77

00:20:42.380 when we went into the 1960s gang that was a god revolution at the end it was god that saved us

00:20:49.940 it was the uh what did they call it that i think they actually called it the god revolution didn't

00:20:55.860 they the jesus revolution that's what it was that's what saves us every time god is the shield

00:21:03.420 from the disease of almost right because that's what happened to this guy he he was looking to do

00:21:10.680 right. And, and you are not going to be presented with options that are wrong. Very rarely will the

00:21:17.680 Gestapo walk in and go, we're the bad guys, join us. They, they, their uniforms with the Gestapo

00:21:25.000 were made by Hugo Boss. They were made to look like really great uniforms that you wanted to

00:21:31.660 join these guys. They were the good guys. And so you might've made the mistake of going, well,

00:21:38.740 maybe they're not so bad. Mistake. But you didn't just choose evil. You chose almost right. Well,

00:21:45.380 they look like good guys. Almost right. Well, there are some problems they're dealing with.

00:21:50.200 Almost right. And before you know it, you are 180 degrees in the wrong direction.

00:21:56.340 We are so close to the edge of evil. Nobody wants to admit it, but we are there.

00:22:01.080 And it's the tiny little shifts that will land us in the completely wrong direction

00:22:06.380 if we don't consciously choose now which God we serve.

00:22:12.680 This guy was not evil.

00:22:15.040 He was steeped in evil.

00:22:17.640 He had listened to, engaged in, marched with

00:22:20.880 those who had made good evil and evil good.

00:22:25.260 He didn't choose evil.

00:22:28.920 Evil chose him.

00:22:31.320 And he chose it every single time

00:22:34.200 when he chose almost right.

00:22:38.300 And before he knew it, you don't know what's up and what's down.

00:22:43.280 And it begins by surrounding yourself with people who believe the ends justify the means.

00:22:49.460 Make no mistake, this is about choosing a God.

00:22:53.380 If you don't choose your God, one will choose you.

00:22:59.180 and it will shape everything, everything in your life.

00:23:06.020 And choosing your God is not a one-time prayer

00:23:09.060 whispered in the moment of feeling.

00:23:11.700 It's the most decisive act your will will ever provide you.

00:23:20.120 Daily, costly, reordering of your entire life

00:23:25.340 around one idea. What is good and eternal? And it will mean that you will stop drifting and you

00:23:33.380 will start directing your life. Because too many of us are just, we're in the passenger seat of

00:23:39.020 our own life. We're being taken places and we think, well, we don't really have control. I

00:23:45.080 don't know. Look where the world's going. It's your choice where you go. How do you order your

00:23:51.360 hours and your thoughts and your heart. Too many of us are just ordering them because it's the

00:23:57.360 loudest thing in the room. Because that's, I got to respond to this right now. Stop, stop. No, you

00:24:02.280 don't. No, you don't. Look at your day today. Look at everything you do and decide which ones you're

00:24:09.040 going to say, no more, no more of this. From this moment, I'm going to give my life to only things

00:24:16.200 that are absolutely true.

00:24:18.340 And I know they're true

00:24:19.420 because they're eternal principles.

00:24:21.320 My grandmother would walk into the room

00:24:23.280 and she would be like,

00:24:24.460 I'm proud of you.

00:24:28.380 And it begins the instant

00:24:30.240 you refuse to blame anyone

00:24:31.880 or anybody or anything else

00:24:34.560 for where you stand.

00:24:36.420 Not your past,

00:24:38.180 not your circumstances, 0.69

00:24:40.380 not the culture,

00:24:41.320 not the economy,

00:24:42.900 not the people who let you down.

00:24:45.260 Blame is the language of the lost.

00:24:49.980 Ownership is the language of the free.

00:24:56.360 Own your life.

00:24:59.640 Stop saying these things are happening to you and I can't control it.

00:25:04.100 Yes, you can.

00:25:06.400 You control the way you respond to all of these things.

00:25:10.500 He can't control.

00:25:11.500 This shooter couldn't control what's happening in Washington, but he can control what he does about them.

00:25:18.680 And what he did about them was he got into bed with people who kept preaching good is evil and evil is good.

00:25:28.300 You need to say, I know who my God is, and I know what's eternal.

00:25:35.820 And I know my God is a God of order.

00:25:38.520 and my God is not going to say, go kill that person. We have a God of life, not a God of death.

00:25:47.400 There is a death culture that is going on in all of society. It's a death cult. Choose life.

00:25:57.580 Choose it. This life belongs to me and only me. No one else can change my life except for me.

00:26:04.620 I have steward of my life and over everything I have.

00:26:15.240 I know, I know this sounds almost ridiculously simple,

00:26:24.880 but it is each of us making this choice that will make all of the difference.

00:26:28.420 When we choose to think, when we choose to look at things, when we stop saying, I don't know about this, I haven't been following, you have to follow.

00:26:40.800 It's your personal responsibility as a human being on planet Earth at this time to follow, to think, to get away from the endless distractions.

00:26:51.460 Choose. Choose to live. Really live. Not as a consumer of life, but as its creator. Your life is being created by you.

00:27:06.240 Look for. Read. Study. Gaze upon. Engage in acts of kindness, in words of wisdom, in words of beauty.

00:27:17.140 moments of genuine connection serve your family first

00:27:22.940 feed your own soul with good and truth

00:27:30.420 and then you can serve your friends and your community and a world that is starving for

00:27:38.640 something real. Become fully alive. Trade the wide easy road of least resistance for the narrow path

00:27:50.160 that leads to life. The climb is really steep, but it makes you stronger. And every sacrifice

00:27:59.420 is met with grace. Every lonely stretch is filled with God. Become the leader in your own story

00:28:08.080 instead of a follower of every

00:28:10.120 passing win

00:28:11.300 become the one who stands when

00:28:16.100 others sits, becomes

00:28:17.720 the one who builds when others

00:28:20.180 either want to tear down or only watch

00:28:22.340 truth is

00:28:28.440 eternal

00:28:28.980 and when you choose eternal

00:28:32.380 truth, when you choose

00:28:34.240 the living God

00:28:35.500 who is not about vengeance and wrath but is about truth and justice and love and healing

00:28:43.260 then the false gods that rule over you lose their power their chains fall off the numbness of your

00:28:56.800 life lifts the strength rises where weakness once lived peace settles in where you were nothing but

00:29:04.480 a ball of anxiety. And you will discover a freedom, no screen, no success, no amount of

00:29:13.360 approval could ever, ever, ever give you. You will face storms that you think there's no way I could

00:29:20.120 face that. You will face every road with all of its difficulties and you will never, ever walk it

00:29:26.140 alone. You will have a guide that knows every turn, a father who loves you and delights in you,

00:29:32.820 a savior who's already overcome everything in the world and walks beside you and takes every broken

00:29:39.320 piece of your story and makes it somehow or another breathtakingly beautiful and you're like

00:29:44.800 how did this happen i know i've lived it it doesn't seem possible and it also doesn't seem

00:29:54.360 like an answer it's this problem is too big too big for who too big for me yep too big for you

00:30:02.360 yes. Too big for God. Do you think he's surprised by any of this? He is calling out to us, stop,

00:30:10.500 stop, stop. Choose life. Even if you don't know what that means exactly, you don't choose it

00:30:19.000 perfectly. You just choose it sincerely. It means you have to be willing to say,

00:30:26.800 I may have screwed up my life. Everything I may believe right now may be wrong,

00:30:31.260 but I don't want to live this way anymore

00:30:33.360 and I just want to find happiness

00:30:35.560 I just want to find truth

00:30:37.020 and you'll choose courage over comfort

00:30:40.260 and depth over distraction

00:30:42.240 responsibility over blame and regret

00:30:45.720 this guy chose

00:30:51.860 almost right

00:30:55.140 time and time again

00:30:56.860 until he was convinced

00:30:58.860 that he was on the side of God.

00:31:03.420 I want you to know, God's not on my side.

00:31:06.680 He's not on your side.

00:31:07.860 He's not on America's side.

00:31:09.640 We must prepare to be on his side.

00:31:13.420 And that's hard.

00:31:14.780 And you're going to make decisions that you don't want to do.

00:31:17.520 You're going to say, I don't want to believe that.

00:31:19.900 I don't want to say that.

00:31:21.600 I don't want to stand there.

00:31:23.040 I don't want to be quiet.

00:31:24.040 I want to be mad.

00:31:28.860 But you have to take ownership.

00:31:31.560 You have to take the wheel. 0.85

00:31:33.700 You have to step in to the woman or the man you were designed to be. 0.99

00:31:39.980 You were made for this.

00:31:42.380 You are the key to all of this.

00:31:47.360 We can blame this on a whole bunch of people.

00:31:50.700 I take the blame for this in everything that I have done and not done in my life.

00:31:54.580 And if we all start there, maybe, maybe we can save ourselves.

00:32:03.440 But the choice is yours.

00:32:12.540 Make the choice.

00:32:16.320 The ends don't justify the means. They never do.

00:32:21.140 Nobody's ever done anything to you.

00:32:24.580 That is worth a hill of beans.

00:32:26.880 It doesn't matter what's happened to you.

00:32:28.920 It doesn't matter.

00:32:33.460 Once you know who you really are,

00:32:36.280 and once you know what God you actually serve,

00:32:39.180 then you become a masterpiece of grace and purpose and unshakable joy.

00:32:45.260 And this stuff will stop.

00:32:48.020 I urge you, please, today, begin.

00:32:52.300 choose your god carefully you're listening to the best of glenn beck need a little more

00:33:00.200 check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts how are you sir

00:33:05.700 i'm doing all right thank you yes

00:33:09.320 i gotta tell you man uh my wife and i we saw the video of erica going out crying yeah and

00:33:21.360 i just leave this poor woman alone can people leave her alone anybody who is saying oh she 0.76

00:33:32.020 planned the death and everything she's obviously it she obviously she left there so distraught

00:33:37.900 this she has not even been allowed to grieve it's so clearly just below the surface

00:33:45.100 i felt for all of you guys i didn't know you were there well andrew yeah well you said uh in your

00:33:52.320 open that i was at the same table as her i wasn't actually i was um i was probably about 10 12 tables

00:33:58.500 away but glenn this place was so packed in i mean the fire marshal should have a head day with this

00:34:04.240 place um you could not get through there uh really even you know before the chaos broke out

00:34:10.900 It was so jam-packed, but, you know, I tried after everything kind of cleared up.

00:34:17.220 I mean, you know, where to start with this story is a question we're going,

00:34:20.940 but basically, you know, you hear everybody ducking for cover.

00:34:25.280 You know, you heard some loud bangs, but, you know, in that room there was such a cacophony of noises

00:34:30.420 that it was kind of indiscernible, and then you see people ducking for cover.

00:34:34.660 You know, our table got underneath the table as well, you know,

00:34:39.180 We're hiding underneath the tablecloth, and right over on my chair, I was sitting next to Harmeet Dillon.

00:34:47.360 You know, the Secret Service was climbing on our chairs, and Harmeet kind of had her head a little bit higher,

00:34:54.620 and one of the Secret Service guys actually stepped on her head, so she got bruised by these guys trying to get by our table.

00:35:02.140 So she had a little wealth on her head just from getting stepped on.

00:35:05.480 That's how tight it was.

00:35:06.720 As soon as everything kind of cleared up, though, you know, the question was, did Trump get hit?

00:35:11.940 Did J.D. get hit?

00:35:12.940 Did somebody get shot and we just couldn't hear it because it was so loud?

00:35:16.040 So everybody, you know, a room full of reporters, everybody's trying to figure out who got hurt and what happened.

00:35:21.400 And, you know, I happen to be at the table next to Philip Wegman, who's now with The Wall Street Journal, used to be a real clear and Washington Examiner.

00:35:30.220 So I've known him for years.

00:35:31.160 I was like, Phil, what happened?

00:35:32.180 And he had he had eyes on President Trump getting escorted off.

00:35:35.300 So at least I kind of knew that.

00:35:36.720 instantly i beelined over for erica's table and um you know it was interesting i ran into

00:35:43.160 harris faulkner and uh martha mccallum and they they were like no erica got taken out she's uh

00:35:50.840 she was escorted out by security and um harris faulkner was like i was under the table with

00:35:56.500 erica we were we were praying together you know um and so that that was the moment and uh you know

00:36:03.960 and to your earlier point, Glenn, it's like, oh, she's, it was all staged.

00:36:07.720 It's like, you know, yeah, it was all,

00:36:09.880 it was all just some giant emotional production guys. That's,

00:36:13.340 that's really what we're, that's what we were doing. We, we,

00:36:15.880 we were playing five 70 chess with everybody. Uh,

00:36:19.000 and we just staged some Democrat who, you know,

00:36:21.380 took a train across the country and assembled his weapons in his hotel room

00:36:25.060 and teacher of the month and all this stuff that we just did it.

00:36:28.640 So for sympathy points, you guys are real, real smart out there. Real,

00:36:32.780 real brilliant thinking i mean literally the level of uh just idiocy and brain rot and just i don't 0.97

00:36:42.080 even know what to make of it but there is such a desire to believe some sort of you know wild 0.96

00:36:47.400 conspiracy when regardless of what the story is going uh because you know sometimes the truth

00:36:53.340 just isn't emotionally satisfying or psychologically satisfying enough for so many people

00:36:57.440 and it's just really disgusting um i was in that room my heart was pounding through my chest

00:37:02.600 everybody was shaken up um you know i'm not i'm not saying here i'm traumatized glenn i wasn't

00:37:09.220 there on you know when charlie was killed at uvu um obviously i didn't see anything crazy here it

00:37:16.060 was just you know because it was a the floor above and outside the the ballroom but i will tell you

00:37:21.440 it was scary in that room and everybody was was shaken up and um so i'm just kind of disgusted

00:37:26.580 to be honest, that like whether it's the left or some fringe right crazy people that are still

00:37:33.000 cannot be convinced that like, hey, there's bad people in the world. A lot of them happen to be

00:37:37.680 on the left and they want to kill people. So what is this going to mean? I mean, I know Erica and 0.96

00:37:46.000 the vice president were supposed to speak this week together. Is that going to go on? How do

00:37:50.320 What does this mean for future events, not just for you, but for any of it?

00:37:55.340 Yeah, I mean, listen, I think details are still getting worked out.

00:38:02.200 You know, I think when it came to the University of Georgia, you know, we weren't really coordinated as closely as we could have been with the Secret Service when JD's in an event, right?

00:38:14.980 We kind of take care of our own security.

00:38:16.600 We kind of take care of our own travel and to and fro.

00:38:19.000 So I think that's one of the ideas that maybe we can coordinate better to make sure, you know, Erica's got a full detail and just kind of write in with J.D.

00:38:29.620 So that's kind of one of the things.

00:38:30.700 I mean, listen, every event's different.

00:38:32.500 Every event has its own security precautions and protocols that we need to put in place.

00:38:36.960 And so I don't want to make any broad generalizations or grand statements.

00:38:41.320 But, yeah, I mean, it's a terrifying reality.

00:38:43.780 I mean, when we had the University of Georgia event where Erica had to step out, I was grateful to step in and I was glad to do it, honored to do it.

00:38:53.120 You know, there was, oh, well, if J.D. can get there and Erica can't, you know, it must have been lying or something.

00:39:00.960 Oh, my God.

00:39:01.540 He has secret service and secret service.

00:39:04.760 Let me tell you something. Even my own family, when you have a key man who is on the person, the protectorate, they don't look around for others. Their job is to get that one person out. Secret Service is to get the vice president out. It doesn't matter who's standing next to him. Their job is to get him to security because of the republic. For the love of Pete, people, use your stinking brains.

00:39:34.760 in in that yeah and glenn in that instance and i i actually appreciate your anger the whole thing 0.98

00:39:39.400 is so infuriating the you know the the issue wasn't necessarily the venue the secret service

00:39:44.840 had been there like clearing the venue it was getting her to and fro she was getting docked

00:39:49.080 like actively by a bunch of accounts that were you know that that was the real issue with the

00:39:53.560 travel but anyway it doesn't matter that does she does she want to continue to do this andrew

00:39:59.880 i mean how much i mean listen she's she's she is absolutely committed to and i don't want to put

00:40:05.400 words in erica's mouth i think she's gonna she's probably going to kind of clarify what this event

00:40:11.000 has meant to her you know at some point this week and kind of where her head's at so i don't want

00:40:15.400 to speak for her but you know actually she's completely uh committed and devoted to you know

00:40:21.960 fulfilling charlie's legacy and mission and and none of that has changed um obviously this was

00:40:27.080 was, you know, this was a triggering experience in more ways than one.

00:40:33.500 And it wasn't just her as well.

00:40:35.260 You know, there was Mikey was at the event,

00:40:37.980 and Mikey was just a few feet away from Charlotte UVU,

00:40:40.440 and I know this was hard for him too.

00:40:42.000 And it's, you know, so in some ways I'm the lucky one, you know,

00:40:47.040 if you could call it that, where I haven't been up close to those events.

00:40:52.260 And I've had to live with the fallout, certainly,

00:40:54.240 but it's not hitting some you know deep sort of mental image so i'm grateful for that but

00:40:59.820 listen this this whole thing is terrible and i i just think that we've got to do something

00:41:06.220 because the you know our side thinks everything's massad or the jews or whatever and uh at least not

00:41:14.040 the fringy folks on our side and then we're still dealing with a radicalized mainstreamed

00:41:20.700 violent uh assassination culture that is rising up on the left and i think that's the most terrifying

00:41:27.020 thing about this glenn is you've got this guy was a fairly normie indiscernible and

00:41:34.260 indistinguishable from so many of the other voices that you hear on the nightly news

00:41:38.920 and and that's the real issue here and you've got hassan piker talking about we need to you know

00:41:44.860 soak the streets in capitalist blood and you've got uh you know they want to talk about social

00:41:49.380 murder with the new york times uh straight out of angles in the 1800s and we shouldn't be surprised

00:41:56.160 when they are wrapping themselves in ideological pretzels to justify murder culture of conservatives

00:42:02.220 you got destiny who's a uh popular online leftist who who says that conservatives this is right after

00:42:08.600 charlie's assassination need to be terrified about going out in public like this is what we're up

00:42:14.320 against, you know, and so to the fringy folks on the on the right, not everything is Mossad or the

00:42:20.080 Jews. So they're like crazies on the left. You need to stop. OK, you need to stop exacerbating 0.97

00:42:27.480 everything and blaming Trump for your own actions. This is I mean, this is, you know, the problem is

00:42:33.260 they're not going to they're not going to they're not going to stop. The leaders won't stop because

00:42:38.260 this is the chaos they want. They know they are trying to collapse the republic. They're not just

00:42:43.280 trying to kill donald trump or something they're trying to collapse the united states of america

00:42:47.720 and the republic period so they're not going to stop it's the it's the normal people that are

00:42:54.420 listening to this that are marching with the no kings rallies and and all of this stuff they got

00:43:00.220 to stop you've got to wake up and notice that you are surrounded by people who want to destroy the

00:43:06.940 republic who want to bring this whole thing down they're not against donald trump and his policies

00:43:13.780 they are against capitalism the free market system and the united states of america period

00:43:19.840 wake the hell up stop it stop it yeah i'm sorry i didn't mean to yell at you yeah no i'm with you

00:43:30.400 i'm with you in spirit i think there's a righteous indignation that all of us should feel 0.69

00:43:35.220 because listen when we have political movement and you saw it that night you just walk outside

00:43:40.000 of the washington hilton and there's literal signs that says death to tyrants this is how

00:43:45.080 mainstream this has all been and uh you've got real mainstream elected leaders on the democrat

00:43:50.900 party that speak at these no kings rallies if you look at some of the signs there there's there's

00:43:55.580 murder in the signs being advocated in the side so so they've been normalizing this for years and

00:44:02.140 you know it's we really you have to realize they're not going to stop because if they do if

00:44:07.180 they say anything and your name's not john fetterman if you say anything you'll instantly

00:44:12.220 get primary right and john fetterman will get primary too you know there there was a there

00:44:17.400 was a moment with john fetterman and erica that i heard about where you know he was pretty emotional

00:44:22.200 and he just apologized for whatever he could i mean he didn't need to but it was a i mean there

00:44:28.240 Yeah, that was after everything happened.

00:44:32.620 An emotional moment.

00:44:34.240 Yeah, good for John Fetterman.

00:44:35.860 That's a real moment.

00:44:37.580 So it's disappointing.

00:44:40.300 It's depressing, but we've got to do better, Glenn.

00:44:43.560 Please pass on to everybody at TPUSA.

00:44:46.760 All of our hearts and prayers are with you.

00:44:49.020 I think about you guys all the time, and I pray for you all the time.

00:44:51.920 Thank you.

00:44:52.360 And Erica and all of you with so much respect, Andrew.

00:44:55.460 God bless you.

00:44:56.880 God bless you, Glenn.

00:44:57.680 Thank you.

00:44:58.240 You bet. All right. I tell you, I've reached out to John Fetterman a couple of times just to say, you know, we don't agree on a lot of stuff, but you have been a remarkable man and very, very brave.

00:45:14.200 If he's going to be primary, he will never win again.

00:45:17.220 And it's interesting to me that somebody who just says common sense stuff, that is a Democrat who doesn't agree with me.

00:45:26.940 I mean, I'm not going to vote for John Fetterman, but who is just a Democrat is so chased out of their own party.

00:45:33.100 They can't have anybody who is at all not a radical.

00:45:38.680 They must have radicals in there.

00:45:41.460 And that's the number one thing. Democrats, you know, you're not an innocent bystander at this point. There's too much evidence. There's just too much evidence. You're not an innocent bystander. These people want to destroy the United States of America.

00:45:57.860 If you want a violent destruction of your country, you just keep going down this road.

00:46:04.280 Keep going.

00:46:05.380 We'll do everything we can to stop it.

00:46:07.540 We'll do everything we can to warn and to beg and to plead and to vote.

00:46:14.740 But you just keep going down with these radicals and you will get everything.

00:46:18.860 Your children and your grandchildren will suffer for generations.

00:46:23.340 Anybody who loses freedom like this will not get it back for at least three generations.

00:46:31.700 Your children and your grandchildren will suffer under Marxism and fascism and death and squalor and you will be responsible for it.

00:46:44.380 Wake up.

00:46:45.940 I'm sorry, I should not be...

00:46:47.560 Sorry.

00:46:49.000 But...

00:46:50.160 I've had enough.
