On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by his good friend Pat Rigsby to talk about the new book The Devil and Karl Marx and much, much more. Also, Pat talks about his new cookie company, Scrumptious Cakes, and why he thinks the government should ban Halloween.
00:12:12.720The guy who is turning into be a very, very big disappointment is Greg Abbott.
00:12:18.160He said he wouldn't sign this into law.
00:12:20.520But if the school district wants to do it, if the state school board approves, well, the state school board, they were supposed to vote in, I think, August on this.
00:12:31.340But 200 parents showed up and they treated them like they were clowns, but they were so overwhelmed with only 200 that they postponed it to September 4th.
00:12:43.820September 4th came and there were still people that were protesting.
00:12:48.380And so they just they decided to do it in November.
00:12:50.740However, they're going to pass this thing.
00:12:55.500And we have a governor who won't stand up and say, Texans, you need to know what this is and you need to stand up in your school districts and stop it.
00:16:06.400In addition to the 12 original flavors, Built Bar just added cookies and cream, carrot cake, caramel brownie, lemon almond cheesecake, apple almond crisp.
00:16:36.520I am thrilled to introduce you, if you don't know who he is already, Bishop Aubrey Shines.
00:16:42.580He is the chairman of the Conservative Clergy of Color, who this group just told, in no uncertain terms, Nike, stop your funding and your advertisements for BLM.
00:17:19.120They are supporting this Marxist group like BLM.
00:17:23.580And by the way, this is the same group that hates America.
00:17:27.260This is the same group that doesn't believe in heteronormative relationships.
00:17:30.980And every time they promote by using their foot soldiers like Colin Kaepernick and or LeBron James, they're sending the wrong message because these young black and brown kids are looking up to these individuals as heroes.
00:17:44.340And so, while they're scorning us here in America for being Americans, by the way, they're now tied to a communist country that are forcing Uyghurs, that are forcing Christians, their minority group, to adhere to and to force labor.
00:18:02.120It's something we've been doing for some time, but it's finally caught traction because our young black and brown and poor white kids are finally paying attention, even though, Glenn, the mainstream media, they're shutting us out.
00:19:07.120It's a bunch of white people, privileged white kids.
00:19:10.240Can you explain how it is connecting or not connecting now with people of color?
00:19:19.560Well, certainly we're seeing those poll numbers go down quite a bit.
00:19:23.420But the only reason they're going down is because of groups like ours that are really, really making a difference in it.
00:19:29.360Now, I have to say, in all fairness to your audience, outside of me being the chair of conservative clergy of color, because I know this always happens, I not only voted for Donald Trump.
00:19:56.840I mean, here's the problem, though, Glenn, in a nutshell.
00:19:59.460When you have mainstream media that's constantly working against Americans and they use against foot soldiers like LeBron James, foot soldiers like Colin Kaepernick, here's what happens in a nutshell.
00:20:13.360The mass, those unfortunate in our poor communities, they're not hearing the other side of this story.
00:20:20.760They don't know anything about the slave labor that's going on in China.
00:20:23.900They just see LeBron James and or Colin or any other athlete that they kind of push forward.
00:20:31.120So when these guys speak, they have a certain type of leverage.
00:20:35.580Well, when guys like me that look like me, because we're guys of black and brown that are come together, Hispanic clergy, et cetera, when they then see us, it's hard for them then to fight that narrative.
00:20:50.520They're listening, and they go, wait a minute.
00:20:52.140Are you telling me – and then you can kind of fill in the blank from there.
00:20:55.960So when we see these type of atrocities and genocide that is happening, then we can tie it to the fact that these same groups, by the way, they pander with groups like Planned Parenthood.
00:21:06.220They are against black and poor white and brown kids having a school choice where their moms or dads can take them and take them out of horrible, horrific schools, and then force the narrative to say, why are you supporting these groups, these companies, even supporting these athletes that are actually causing this type of genocide within your own community?
00:21:29.140Glenn, we're getting their attention, and we're winning that argument, my friend.
00:21:33.260I will tell you, we're talking to Bishop Shines, chairman of the Conservative Clergy of Color.
00:21:39.720You know, African-Americans have the opportunity to save the nation.
00:21:43.680If they will – if the pulpits are on fire in the African-American community and people start to stand up, there's no way that the African-American community would stand with Black Lives Matter if they understood what they really believe.
00:22:07.060If they would just go to their website and –
00:22:09.860Well, Glenn, we're producing the videos to make sure that they understand it because, unfortunately, a lot in the black ecumenical community don't understand it because what they have been told and have been fed for 70 years have been the same cavalry that have come around since one political party has fed them this narrative.
00:22:30.200So, when you have a political party that opposed blacks, 13th, 14th, 15th Amendment, the same party that gave you the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan, I mean, personified there, the Jim Crow laws, the Margaret Sanger, that the majority of those Planned Parenthood, they are actually in the black communities.
00:22:47.360When we begin to show those leaders this information, they're forcing to make a choice because we're not just getting Glenn to them, we're actually getting to the parishioners.
00:23:06.480Unfortunately, the mainstream media, they won't pick us up.
00:23:10.020Now, again, you see me on various news shows all the time, but I'm talking about as a whole, not just myself and not just my group.
00:23:17.220They can't afford individuals like myself that love America, whose granddad died fighting for this country against, by the way, that Marxism in Europe.
00:23:28.780And here it is here, personified in the groups like Black Lives Matter and Tifa and others, we're shining the light.
00:23:37.300That's what conservative clergy of color do.
00:23:44.960Glenn, I promise you, we are having an impact.
00:23:48.800I will tell you, thank you for keeping your covenant on the black robe regiment.
00:23:55.960There are, I'm, I'm so shocked and disappointed on how many people who I thought were going to be real leaders when Bush came to shove are folding right now.
00:24:07.500I mean, men's hearts are failing them.
00:24:13.320When Hillary Clinton wrote her failed book as to why she lost the election by name, Glenn, she put me in her book, named me as one of the reasons, as a matter of fact, the only clergy, period, that was in her book as to the reason she lost.
00:24:28.320What we're finding is so many of our leaders are fearful, and I hate that, and that's another subject matter, because we should be able to give our lives for the very things that we believe, even if it costs us our lives in that regard.
00:24:40.840And this is why I've often said, I'd rather fight and die fighting for something than just to be complacent and docile and passive as I watch my country go to shred.
00:24:52.240Listen, we must come together, black, white alike, and put our ethnicity at some bottom level of this equation and see ourselves, whether we're Christian and or conservative, but we must see ourselves as American, Glenn, if we're going to win this.
00:25:08.140And this is why conservative clergy of color, this is why we do the work that we're doing.
00:25:12.880And again, we're making an impact here.
00:26:17.120She doesn't like to, you know, I have to put the dark stuff in my head to do research, and I rely on her not to do that.
00:26:24.880Otherwise, it would be a suicide pack in my family.
00:26:28.420But it is terrifying, and it totally makes sense.
00:26:32.880Well, you know, it's the same kind of reaction my wife has as well.
00:26:38.040I mean, I sit there in the dining room, and I research and write about this junk, and occasionally, you know, she'll hear me moan or groan and say, well, what is it?
00:27:08.280And I got to tell you, Glenn, at night when the day is over, I put all this crap aside and grab some spiritual reading just to kind of spiritually cleanse myself because it's so ugly and so dark.
00:27:22.200Okay, so this is, this is not convincing anybody to buy this and read this.
00:27:26.620This is, this is such an important book right now because I am telling you, I really, this is my own personal opinion, and no man will know the time, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:37.360But I am telling you, we are on the verge of the return of Christ.
00:27:43.900I think we are fighting evil, like globally, like we've never fought it before.
00:27:49.560And I think it's going to come down on us like a bag of bricks soon.
00:27:53.320And you need to know what you're fighting.
00:27:55.860When BLM says they're Marxist, you need to know what that means.
00:27:59.520And what Paul just said, let me just read this to you.
00:28:02.380He writes these poems and says these things that just for any sane individual, you would at least think the guy is in league with the devil.
00:28:26.180Yeah, I mean, it's, it's really, you know, and as you know, from reading the book, so I deal with that very carefully, right?
00:29:42.900But, you know, can I, as a scholar, a hundred, you know, 30 years, whatever it is after the death of Marx, could I affirm something like that?
00:31:22.520One of the people I quote in the book was Alexander Yakovlev, who was Gorbachev's chief reformer in the, in the 1980s and the 1990s.
00:31:32.540And he was given the task of actually counting the skulls, trying to find out how many people were killed in the Soviet system.
00:31:39.500And he too, I mean, he was, he was agnostic.
00:31:42.440I think he was an atheist and he referred to this as flat out demonic.
00:31:46.740He said, he said, if you can't see this as evil, then I don't know what is.
00:31:51.320And, you know, Marx, the one poem that you're referring to that he wrote about his wife or his future wife, his love interest, that's called The Player.
00:32:01.240And that's the one where he says, look now, my blood, dark sword shall stab unerringly within my soul.
00:32:09.140The hellish vapors rise and fill the brain till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.
00:32:15.760The sword, the prince of darkness, sold it to me.
00:32:32.820But when you look at the depth of what Marx wrote and how Marx seemed to be at times probably, possibly, likely inserting himself into these poems, into these plays.
00:32:46.620And when you see the ideology that he wrought and what it did, all the death and destruction, you know, in Marx's case, this goes way beyond your typical writer or poet or novelist.
00:33:00.080Yeah, I mean, Stephen King writes spooky things, Edgar Allan Poe.
00:33:04.840And I don't understand the way they think, but I don't think they're in league with the devil.
00:33:10.020This guy, because of what his life's work was and him saying, you know, everything has to be destroyed.
00:33:21.720What is the thing from Goethe that he, from Faust, what was his favorite line from Faust was what?
00:33:29.520Yeah, from Faust, it's a line from Mephistopheles, who is the demon devil figure.
00:33:36.020And the line is, everything that exists deserves to perish, right?
00:33:40.640Everything that exists deserves to perish.
00:33:43.100That's his favorite part of, Faust was his favorite, how do you say his name?
00:34:29.780The ruthless criticism of all that exists.
00:34:32.460I mean, this guy was really, truly, forget about, I mean, clearly he wasn't an economist, that's for sure.
00:34:38.920I mean, the economic ignorance just drips out of the Communist Manifesto.
00:34:44.180I guess he was a philosopher, but he was above all a revolutionary.
00:34:50.000And I think, Glenn, maybe the most important line in the Communist Manifesto, other than, you know,
00:34:56.320the entire theory of the communist program may be summed up in the single sentence, abolition of private property.
00:35:02.960I mean, that right there pretty much tells you everything you should know about communism.
00:35:06.080But there's a line there in the very end where he and Engels say the communists openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.
00:35:24.040Forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.
00:35:28.060And then that's followed by a line, and I think this, Glenn, really applies to today with a lot of the statue movement and the kind of revolutionaries in the street.
00:35:38.160Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.
00:35:59.300Mark standing there in the embers of the raised building with his fist in the air saying, yes, you know, now, now we are ready to begin the world anew.
00:36:29.420If you at all believe that we are, at times, not fighting flesh and blood, but we are fighting, you will see firsthand what we are fighting.
