The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Ben Shapiro & Damani Felder ｜ 7⧸21⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Pat Graefer, Stu, on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:02.820 Today, our first guest, podcast-wise, Damani Felder,

00:00:06.500 joins Glenn to talk about his encounter with the BLM protesters while out for dinner.

00:00:12.620 He, like so many other African Americans who are standing up,

00:00:15.980 wants to shine the light on Black Lives Matter,

00:00:19.420 their organization, and what their true agenda really is.

00:00:23.140 Also, Ben Shapiro stopped by to go over his new book,

00:00:26.640 How to Destroy America, in three easy steps.

00:00:30.140 Fox News has been hit hard with major allegations involving Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Ed Henry.

00:00:37.020 We go over some of the information that's been released from all this.

00:00:41.540 And do we have a possible Brett Kavanaugh situation on our hands?

00:00:45.700 We are the first ever Citizen Brief, brought to you by the Woke Party.

00:00:49.580 And finally, Snopes comes after Glenn for a fact that he presented.

00:00:53.300 Snopes is claiming the fact is only half true,

00:00:56.780 because it depends on what your definition of terrorists and terrorism is.

00:01:01.900 Really?

00:01:02.980 We go over all this and a lot more.

00:01:05.400 It's a busy day on the podcast today.

00:01:13.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:17.340 Damani is the founder of the Wright Brothers Conservative Political Activist Group.

00:01:27.440 He is a podcaster, and he happened to be in a restaurant when Black Lives Matter walked in.

00:01:35.500 And I saw this video from him, what, a week ago or so?

00:01:39.020 And it is absolutely phenomenal, because here's a black guy standing up, basically being called a racist and being told what to care about.

00:01:51.380 He's black. 0.52

00:01:52.680 They're white. 0.80

00:01:54.840 Figure that out.

00:01:56.200 Damani, welcome to the program.

00:01:58.300 Thanks for having me, Glenn.

00:01:59.280 I really appreciate being here.

00:02:01.720 You bet.

00:02:02.340 You bet.

00:02:02.640 So tell me what you experienced, what you saw, and what it says to you.

00:02:09.920 Sure.

00:02:10.440 So I was out.

00:02:11.460 This was actually a weekend before last.

00:02:13.660 I was out at a dinner.

00:02:15.000 It was actually a dinner being held in my honor with some friends of mine,

00:02:18.280 because I'm preparing to move to Houston to start a new role.

00:02:21.400 And what we had was a live band, a live jazz band out there with a black entertainer who was performing.

00:02:27.900 There are people of all races and all ages out there at this restaurant in downtown Dallas, Texas.

00:02:34.140 And what was crazy was initially I didn't even hear the chants of the protesters as they were assembling and marching past us.

00:02:42.400 I only saw the signs, so I saw them march past, and I said, okay, they're going to march past.

00:02:46.900 Everybody else at the restaurant, too, they just said, okay, they're doing their thing, exercising their First Amendment right.

00:02:52.060 That's fine.

00:02:52.620 We're going to continue to do our thing and enjoy our evening.

00:02:54.680 And so then a few minutes later, that same group walked past us again.

00:03:00.040 And what was interesting was even then, no one tried to verbally assault or abuse them.

00:03:05.840 They let them do their thing, and we just continued on as normal with our evening.

00:03:10.100 But then that same group parked themselves about 50 yards away from the restaurant,

00:03:13.820 and really what the goal was was to attract attention.

00:03:16.620 And when they didn't get the attention they wanted, that is when they came up to the restaurant where we all were enjoying ourselves

00:03:23.640 and decided to continue to shout until they were able to provoke someone standing up for themselves.

00:03:29.080 As you saw in the video, there were young black children who were literally feet away from this group of predominantly white BLM rioters or protesters.

00:03:38.020 And these people are using the coarsest, harshest language available, and they say they're calling for justice and racial unity

00:03:46.260 when the crazy thing is what we have there already at the restaurant was the epitome of everything we claim to desire.

00:03:52.460 It doesn't make any sense.

00:03:53.840 Yes.

00:03:54.820 Yes.

00:03:55.260 So when somebody stood up to defend themselves, explain what happened.

00:04:03.820 Sure.

00:04:04.280 So I think what happened was there was one man, and he was there with his children, and he was just asking the people,

00:04:10.460 he was like, can we please just eat our dinner and eat, or whatever.

00:04:13.040 That's all he asked them.

00:04:14.440 And then that was when they took that as some sort of personal affront.

00:04:18.700 So then one of the ringleaders of the group marched up to him, stood up on the fountain,

00:04:22.320 which acted as somewhat of a dividing line between the restaurant and the rest of the plaza,

00:04:27.640 and began to scream and hurl propanities at him as well. 0.99

00:04:30.620 And then other white people rushed over and were shouting at him.

00:04:33.640 And in the video I took, you'll see there's black people who are just kind of sitting there looking like, 1.00

00:04:38.300 why are y'all doing this?

00:04:39.540 This is not what we need to be doing.

00:04:41.900 And so basically what BLM thrives on, what that movement thrives on, is the illusion of oppression.

00:04:47.820 So anytime anyone actually stands up for themselves and says, hey, can you just go do your thing?

00:04:53.500 I'm not going to tell you to stop doing it, but please do it somewhere else.

00:04:55.980 We're not going to disturb the peace.

00:04:57.440 They take that as some sort of wanton callousness, and then they react as they deem to be appropriate,

00:05:04.780 which in this case was essentially setting the entire establishment down just because they felt like they weren't being heard loudly enough

00:05:12.660 or they weren't being coddled by the people at the restaurant.

00:05:15.780 So it was just one of those things that escalated needlessly.

00:05:18.820 And when I saw it developing, my first thought was I need to show people what really is going on,

00:05:23.580 what really is behind this movement.

00:05:25.260 That's why in the video I mentioned it is cultural Marxism because someone has to stand up and report the news

00:05:31.360 because the news media cameras weren't out there.

00:05:34.240 No one else was out there reporting that, and there was no media coverage in the days that followed

00:05:38.400 from any of the main channels, if you will.

00:05:40.680 So I took it upon myself to become a citizen journalist at that time because, for me, it's of paramount importance.

00:05:46.860 People see BLM for what it is.

00:05:49.880 It is manufactured outrage, manufactured chaos, and it's completely antithetical to what we all should strive for as Americans.

00:05:57.020 So what's amazing to me is the point that you were making on the video and you've made here is

00:06:05.580 these were mainly white kids, and they are lecturing you and others on what you should be outraged by 0.52

00:06:15.420 and what you should think.

00:06:16.700 And I don't understand this movement that is bought and paid for by a bunch of very, very wealthy white people, 0.90

00:06:28.380 George Soros being one of them, former terrorists. 0.98

00:06:33.400 I could say former because they haven't done anything lately, but former white terrorists 0.98

00:06:40.520 and gay rights activists, and I hate to even say gay rights activists because they're really not. 1.00

00:06:49.800 They're extremists that are trying to destroy the family. 0.98

00:06:54.840 That's what's behind all of this.

00:06:57.180 And how is it that so many people are being duped by it?

00:07:00.320 Well, what I think it is really is there's a lot of young people out there, young adults, if you will,

00:07:08.060 who desire to feel like they are a part of something special.

00:07:12.280 That's the concept of virtue signaling.

00:07:14.560 So a lot of those young white people who are out there creating chaos on an otherwise peaceful evening, 1.00

00:07:20.180 for them, they were doing that because they wanted to feel as if they belonged to this organization.

00:07:24.700 And we know the organization has come out publicly and stated that they're against notions like what they call the Western concept of a nuclear family.

00:07:34.120 And we know, I know for a fact in the African-American community, one of the biggest problems we have is fatherlessness. 0.99

00:07:40.260 So the crazy thing is the stated goal of Black Lives Matter contradict what any African-American or any American really should be striving for.

00:07:48.580 It has been hijacked by a lot of people who claim to stand for social justice, but who evidently have no problem ruining an evening,

00:07:58.180 creating a chaos in the face of young children using profanity.

00:08:02.660 The movement has spun out of control at this point.

00:08:05.060 And all they really are doing right now is being political opportunists, utilizing any perceived instance of tragedy,

00:08:12.960 in this case, the George Floyd situation, in co-opting that in order to justify their violent, unruly action.

00:08:22.000 So I saw a poll yesterday, six in 10 Americans overall believe that the founders were good and America is good.

00:08:34.720 Uh, but when you go beyond the, uh, when you start looking in youth and African-American youth, you're looking at the reverse. 0.75

00:08:44.680 You're looking at, uh, a, a maximum of four out of 10 think that America is good.

00:08:51.460 And the founders were good.

00:08:52.680 How are we going to solve this?

00:08:55.800 Honestly, it's incumbent upon, especially young people now to do their own research and really understand history as it stands.

00:09:04.720 Uh, unfortunately our public education system is largely controlled by the left.

00:09:10.860 So the left disseminates what news or what information or what history anyone is privy to.

00:09:16.440 But the thing is, especially for young people, we have no excuses at this point.

00:09:20.300 We have so much access to information, but what separates some from others is who is willing to actually dig to find the information that the left honestly would rather young Americans not be privy to.

00:09:33.800 And yes, we can acknowledge the sordid history of the past as it stands with race relations, but we also have to acknowledge the incredible accomplishments we've had. 1.00

00:09:42.940 Even in the last 60 years, we've gone from ruby bridges being exported by the national guard into school to being removed already from the first half black president, at least. 0.98

00:09:54.000 So we can't sit here and act like the country is the most incorrigible, irredeemable country when we have made demonstrable strides to improve.

00:10:03.420 But the problem with the left, too, is that what they want to do is they want to continue to perpetuate this notion that there's some sort of disadvantage by default.

00:10:12.460 Essentially, it's a handicap, a racial handicap. 0.97

00:10:14.880 And they weaponize the illusion of the handicap. 0.76

00:10:18.440 And then they tell people what to think, and then people don't question it.

00:10:21.740 So really, what is most important for us to do is just to continue to do our own research and speak the truth,

00:10:27.780 because there's a lot of misinformation or a lie by omission that's being perpetrated on the American people right now by the mainstream media and by the public education system.

00:10:36.720 We have to combat both simultaneously.

00:10:38.160 There is a civil war going on in America.

00:10:43.140 We are under attack.

00:10:44.940 We are at war.

00:10:46.100 And their stated goal is the destruction of America.

00:10:50.000 And I truly believe that if a Martin Luther King stood up today, he might face the same kind of consequences that Martin Luther King did.

00:10:59.780 But he would save America, that if the black leadership that doesn't really seem to exist right now, except in the Al Sharptons, who aren't leading anybody in the black community. 0.97

00:11:15.940 But if there was a group of men and women that stood up and had the principles of Martin Luther King, they would save the nation.

00:11:27.780 Do you think that there is that group that we're going to find?

00:11:34.340 You know, I'm very encouraged by what I have seen, even on social media.

00:11:39.000 The response to the video that I took at that restaurant was overwhelming.

00:11:43.020 And there are a lot of other people that I've been blessed to meet.

00:11:45.860 People like in the black community.

00:11:48.460 Yes, in the black community, people like Brandon Tatum, David Harris Jr., Terrence Williams, Candace Owens.

00:11:55.200 There are many people out there who have taken that mantle of leadership upon themselves and really tried to lead by example.

00:12:02.620 We need strong leadership.

00:12:04.600 We need positive leadership in our communities because for too long now, be it Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson and many others, they've used fear and oppression, if you will, to control the ideals of an entire demographic.

00:12:20.400 And I'm seeing more and more people who are African-American like myself who are willing to stand up, speak out, repudiate the lies when they surface and tell people there's another way to go about this.

00:12:33.020 There was so much positive change that happened as a result of Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolent stance.

00:12:39.020 And I would argue that more good happened because of his nonviolent stance than anything that BLM or any of these other groups have ever tried to bring to pass.

00:12:49.120 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:12:50.920 Well, I thank you very much for standing up and letting your voice be heard.

00:12:56.960 And anything I can do to help you, anything this audience can do to help you, we will be there for you.

00:13:04.260 We know that this is a time of heroes.

00:13:08.120 People just standing up and just saying common sense things, unfortunately, is a heroic action.

00:13:15.400 Yes, sir.

00:13:16.160 Well, I appreciate you having me on.

00:13:17.460 Anyone who wants to support can go to my YouTube channel, which is called The Wright Brothers.

00:13:21.400 Or they can find me on Twitter at Didamani Felder, Parler at Didamani Felder, Facebook at Didamani Brian Felder, and Instagram at Didamani Felder as well.

00:13:29.380 But I appreciate the time, and God bless you and everyone out there.

00:13:34.060 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:38.120 You juxtapose the three easy steps, how to destroy America in three easy steps.

00:13:48.580 You take those three easy steps and you juxtapose them with the solution.

00:13:53.680 So can we go through some of it?

00:13:57.960 That'd be wonderful.

00:13:58.840 Yeah.

00:13:59.100 I mean, the basic three easy steps to destroy the country, it really is based on the notion that in order for you to have a country, in order for you to have a functional nation, you have to have a common, what I call a unionist philosophy of unionist culture and unionist history.

00:14:14.140 What that means is shared philosophy, culture, and history.

00:14:18.080 And when it comes to philosophy, that means the philosophy of the Declaration of Independence, this idea that there are such a thing as natural rights, and that those natural rights exist, pre-exist government, and are given to us by nature or nature as God.

00:14:29.420 The idea that we all have those equal rights before the law, and the idea that government is instituted in order to protect those rights.

00:14:34.900 That was the common philosophy of the United States.

00:14:37.420 The common culture of the United States was a culture of entrepreneurialism and adventure, a spirit of adventure, that we all should have been cultivating.

00:14:44.800 It's the idea that we have to have a tolerance for other people's rights, even if we don't like how they exercise the rights, we understand that they do have rights.

00:14:50.700 And we have to have a certain militant in defense of those rights.

00:14:53.800 And we also have to have an understanding that our social institutions exist in order to cultivate virtue so that we can have a virtuous people with rights so that the rights aren't too often abused.

00:15:02.860 And then finally, we have to have a shared history, meaning we have to understand that the history of the United States has warts and flaws, and it's insanely glorious.

00:15:10.340 It's a wonderful, wonderful history.

00:15:12.220 The history of the United States is about the foundations of the United States, the principles of the United States being more perfectly realized over time.

00:15:19.560 It doesn't mean we haven't stumbled.

00:15:20.500 It doesn't mean we haven't fallen.

00:15:21.260 It doesn't mean there aren't horrible, evil sections of American history in which enormous human suffering takes place.

00:15:26.240 But it does mean that the vision of the United States is one of a unified country, undershared principle, and the history of the United States is the fulfillment of those principles.

00:15:33.680 That's the unionist side.

00:15:34.880 The disintegrationist side, what I call disintegrationist, because I don't think this is quite purely right-left.

00:15:38.860 I think there are a lot of folks who consider themselves liberal, who believe a lot of the things I just said.

00:15:43.340 And maybe some people on the right who don't believe a few of the things that I just said.

00:15:46.440 Because of that, I call it disintegrationist.

00:15:48.680 The disintegrationists wish to sort of dissolve all of those bonds by suggesting that American philosophy is at root just evil, that it's just a pasteboard.

00:15:57.500 It is sort of a mask for the true underlying power dynamics of the United States.

00:16:01.520 The American culture should not be built around entrepreneurialism and a sense of virtue inculcated by social institutions,

00:16:07.520 but through top-down government and cultural mandates decided by our cultural letters that a spirit of tolerance for other people's rights is actually a tolerance for evil,

00:16:17.300 and that you shouldn't tolerate other people's rights.

00:16:18.880 Really, everybody should just be virtuous in the way that you say they should be virtuous.

00:16:22.200 And then when it comes to American history, obviously, you see with the 1619 Project and all of its sort of ideological forebears and offshoots,

00:16:28.760 you see this attempt to destroy American history and treat it as though American history is the unalloyed study of an evil country rooted in an evil institution,

00:16:38.100 rooted in racism and sexism and bigotry and homophobia, and that American history divides us rather than uniting us.

00:16:43.540 And the goal there is to just level the entire system.

00:16:45.520 If you can level the entire system, then you can build a new system in its wake, supposedly.

00:16:50.140 So we are sitting here 56 days since George Floyd was killed.

00:16:56.080 56 days.

00:16:57.920 Look at the damage that has been done.

00:17:01.820 And I don't mean to the cities.

00:17:03.920 I mean to our history, to our language, to our truth.

00:17:07.720 What was it?

00:17:08.560 Sarah, play what Michelle Obama said right before Barack Obama was elected to office in 08.

00:17:17.720 Listen to this.

00:17:18.180 And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

00:17:21.740 We are going to have to change our conversation.

00:17:23.680 We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

00:17:27.300 We're going to have to move into a different place.

00:17:30.260 We are in a different place, Ben.

00:17:33.820 And it is breathtaking on how fast it has come.

00:17:38.540 Oh, yeah.

00:17:39.280 I mean, the attempt to take down not just the statues of Confederates, obviously, which is controversial, but at least understandable.

00:17:45.200 Moving immediately into conversations about taking down the statues of Ulysses S. Grant, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Christopher Columbus is an astonishingly fast move.

00:17:54.060 The attempt to shift away from rational, normal conversations about how we extirpate racism in our society.

00:18:00.300 I mean, true racism, the normal belief.

00:18:02.440 We actually have to define the term now because people have been misusing the term.

00:18:05.260 The term racism means we believe in the innate superiority or inferiority of somebody based on their race.

00:18:09.420 This is the definition of racism.

00:18:10.840 That definition has been manipulated and changed by the disintegrationists into something completely different.

00:18:16.580 Now, the argument made by people like Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo in their bestselling books on anti-racism is that racism just means the system.

00:18:24.040 That any system that has an unequal outcome by race means that the system itself is racist.

00:18:29.040 So if you stand for the system, you are now perpetuating racism.

00:18:31.660 So if the right to free speech ends with two racial groups in a different situation, well, that means the right to free speech is itself a racist system that must be torn down.

00:18:39.940 Now, of course, the great lie there is that there is any system that levels human beings to the type where everybody ends up in an equal situation after the system is applied. 0.93

00:18:48.140 I mean, even under communism, some pigs are more equal than others.

00:18:50.500 But the lie there is very seductive and the lie is very powerful. 0.67

00:18:56.340 And so it's now become the argument has now become that in order to be an anti-racist, and you see it's in all the anti-racist training, which is now being put forth by major corporations, being put forth by the media, being put forth in the halls of governmental power. 0.93

00:19:06.920 I mean, there are members of the federal government trained in this bullcrap.

00:19:09.400 The basic idea is if you don't oppose the American system, you are not, in fact, anti-racist.

00:19:13.700 And that means the destruction of the American system when, you know, folks on the political left, the hard political left, suggested that they're going to transform America.

00:19:21.720 They didn't just mean that they were going to change some of the tax rates.

00:19:24.560 They meant that they were going to fundamentally change how Americans thought about America.

00:19:27.580 And they've been wildly successful in doing so.

00:19:29.720 There was a Fox News poll that came out yesterday, and it showed that 31 percent of young Americans believe that the founders were villains.

00:19:37.360 31 percent, only 39 percent of young Americans under the age of 25 believe that the founders were heroes.

00:19:42.520 So 61 percent couldn't actually just label the founders heroes.

00:19:45.720 And there's also polarizations by race that have been exacerbated by the entire way that history is taught and the way that we've addressed America's problems in the past.

00:19:54.660 That same poll showed that a plurality of black Americans thought the founders were villains.

00:19:57.860 I think it was 39 to 31 thought they were villains rather than heroes, which, again, you can understand the evils of American history when it comes to race.

00:20:04.380 But if you haven't taught Americans the words of Frederick Douglass, if you haven't taught Americans the words of Booker King Washington or the words of Martin Luther King,

00:20:10.400 that the story of America is the fulfillment of the promissory note, that the story of America is the declaration, not John C. Calhoun's view of the declaration of independence,

00:20:18.600 then you've done it wrong, and I think we've done it wrong.

00:20:20.280 So, Ben, I've talked to so many people recently that have come to this place to where they just feel, I think they're in mourning almost.

00:20:35.780 It's if there's no chance of winning and turning the corner.

00:20:42.140 How big is this battle that we're in right now, and what are the odds, and how do we turn it?

00:20:51.960 I mean, it feels almost like the final ideological battle of the United States, because what we've really come down to is a belief that the United States is something worth fighting for and upholding,

00:21:00.700 and a belief that the United States is merely a vestige of evil institutions that ought to be torn down.

00:21:04.620 And we had some of this battle in the 1960s, and I will remind people who are feeling despondent,

00:21:09.840 that it felt like in the 1960s the battle was completely lost, and then, of course, the Reagan era came about and restored a lot of that feeling.

00:21:16.200 Other countries have experienced something similar.

00:21:18.220 Israel, for example, experienced a post-Zionist era in the aftermath of the Oslo Accords that spanned for about 15 to 20 years,

00:21:24.700 and then it turns out that their enemies didn't go away, and now the entire Israeli population is center-right.

00:21:29.000 So one of the terrible facts about humanity is that America's enemies don't go away no matter how much navel-gazing we do.

00:21:36.820 So while it is true that the United States could theoretically really rip itself apart over a lot of these issues,

00:21:43.320 eventually our enemies will show up at the gates.

00:21:45.800 And when there's an enemy at the gates, it tends to unify Americans in a way that ideological discussions do not.

00:21:51.180 I mean, I think a lot of historians have pointed out quite correctly that a lot of the fragmentation in American politics took place in the immediate aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

00:21:59.080 And then we came back together a little bit around 9-11 when there was a feeling that there was a common enemy seeking to destroy American values.

00:22:05.880 And now, because it doesn't feel like there's an existential threat to the United States, we're kind of turning in again.

00:22:10.940 But I think it's pretty clear that there are some fairly large existential threats on the horizon.

00:22:14.560 Now, the bad news is that if it takes an existential threat on the horizon to unite Americans around the greatest set of principles ever devised by man,

00:22:20.520 then we're doing something deeply wrong.

00:22:22.120 I guess the reality is that history sort of pushes you back into a more patriotic situation,

00:22:29.640 no matter how hard you wish to run away from and declare yourself a world citizen.

00:22:33.640 Yeah, and that's not really a victory for America itself.

00:22:39.940 I mean, because the the I mean, I've you know, when I first heard Donald Trump start talking about the deep state, it bothered me.

00:22:47.760 I was like, stop with the deep state stuff.

00:22:50.080 But that is true.

00:22:51.680 There are people deeply embedded in our government that I think hate our system and are trying to overthrow and trying to have their own way.

00:23:02.880 If we don't get to the root of this problem, which is education, which is honestly people like George Soros that are funding all of this.

00:23:14.380 This is a show we're watching, Ben.

00:23:16.520 This is a show.

00:23:17.520 And they're not going away.

00:23:19.000 No, and I think this is one of the areas where Republicans really missed the boat is that the left has been fighting a culture war.

00:23:26.720 And again, I hesitate to make this a left right divide because I think that there are some old fashioned liberals who just disagree with me on tax rates and the role of government,

00:23:35.680 but still agree with fundamental American rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

00:23:39.440 I think you saw some of them signed at Harper's Weekly Letter, Rip and Cancel Culture.

00:23:43.580 But it is true that the assault on America's values that came predominantly from the left in the 1960s took place on a cultural level.

00:23:51.540 And the cultural revolution always precedes the governmental revolution.

00:23:54.460 So the cultural revolution that took place in the 1960s, the right never fought back on those grounds.

00:23:58.880 They did a little bit with Reagan, but Reagan was a governmental figure.

00:24:02.400 The fact is that we seeded the field of battle.

00:24:04.080 I mean, you know this better than anyone, Glenn, is trying to get conservatives to understand that things like Hollywood entertainment

00:24:09.120 is actually kind of important, that the content that your kids consume may be more important than the politicians you elect.

00:24:14.860 Getting conservatives to understand that is very often very difficult because conservatives tend to think,

00:24:18.940 OK, well, you know, these kids will grow up, they'll go into the business world,

00:24:21.740 and then they'll have to live a real life, they'll have to earn a buck, and they'll realize the tax rates are too high,

00:24:25.880 and they'll kind of swivel toward a more conservative position.

00:24:29.220 Well, what happens when all of those woke, microaggression, SJW types,

00:24:34.920 what happens when all of them at college, they go into the workforce,

00:24:37.640 and they don't get shaped by the workforce, they shape the workforce instead.

00:24:40.960 And you're seeing that happen right now in corporations around America,

00:24:43.140 where CEOs are now being told what to do by woke interns.

00:24:47.520 I mean, it's insanity.

00:24:48.500 You run a company, I run a company.

00:24:50.260 What we're watching right now is nuts.

00:24:52.120 If my employees came to me and dictated a certain brand of politics that I was supposed to embrace,

00:24:56.960 that I disagreed with, they'd be on the bread lines the next day.

00:24:58.860 But corporations, because they're so afraid of being sued and they're so afraid of the bad press,

00:25:02.840 have decided that it's much easier to simply give grease to the squeakiest wheel.

00:25:06.560 So the right fought back politically when they should have fought back culturally.

00:25:09.860 They fought back by electing Republicans.

00:25:11.700 But electing Republicans, while the culture shifts to the left,

00:25:14.100 is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

00:25:17.920 The name of the book is How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.

00:25:24.020 Just a spoiler.

00:25:27.180 All three steps have been done and are being done right now.

00:25:31.160 But he provides the solution to those things.

00:25:35.080 And what I really like about this is it's a way to unite us.

00:25:39.100 This is not a left-right book.

00:25:41.100 It's not a political book, really.

00:25:43.580 It's not about, hey, Donald Trump can fix the world.

00:25:46.620 This is about what brings us together.

00:25:50.160 What is the thing that made us unum out of e pluribus?

00:25:56.160 And he's got it down, and only the way Ben Shapiro can do it.

00:26:00.180 I don't know.

00:26:00.580 Did you read the audio book?

00:26:03.100 I did.

00:26:03.980 Yep.

00:26:04.320 It takes about 27 minutes.

00:26:05.720 Okay.

00:26:06.980 I was going to say, he's the only guy that I know.

00:26:09.820 I listen to your podcast.

00:26:11.680 And, Ben, you're the only guy I know that if I have it on one and a half times the speed,

00:26:16.600 it's actually three times the speed.

00:26:19.420 You're an incredibly incredible fan.

00:26:23.400 I've heard from the rumor that if you increase it to two times the speed,

00:26:24.920 you actually go back in time.

00:26:26.080 It's like back to the future.

00:26:26.980 You hit 88 miles per hour.

00:26:28.160 All right.

00:26:31.220 Ben Shapiro, thank you very much.

00:26:32.500 I appreciate it.

00:26:33.100 God bless, and keep your family safe.

00:26:39.840 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:26:42.300 Attention, you are about to be addressed by the Ministry of Truth.

00:26:59.480 This is your citizen brief.

00:27:02.380 The following is sanctioned news imperative from the Ministry of Truth of the Woke Party.

00:27:09.520 This is your citizen's brief.

00:27:14.120 The troubling new thought crime known as dream racism.

00:27:19.060 Two heroic Afro-Latinx members of the Woke Party have just diagnosed a precarious trend in racist America.

00:27:28.860 A generational fatigue familiar to black persons and people of color.

00:27:35.200 They had an idea. 0.98

00:27:37.420 Black power naps. 0.99

00:27:39.520 A sculptural installation, vibrational device, and curatorial initiative

00:27:46.020 that reclaims laziness and idleness as power.

00:27:51.020 The full quote departing from the historical records

00:27:54.680 that show that deliberate fragmentation of restorative sleep patterns

00:27:59.580 were used to subjugate and extract labor from enslaved people.

00:28:05.220 We now realize that this extraction has not stopped.

00:28:09.720 It has only morphed.

00:28:11.720 A state of constant fatigue is still used to break our will.

00:28:16.720 This sleep gap shows that there are front lines in our bedrooms as well as in the streets.

00:28:24.720 This deficit of sleep, lack of free time, for some, is the building block of a real world and a free world.

00:28:35.280 After learning who benefits most from restful sleep and down time,

00:28:40.780 we are creating interactive surfaces for a playful approach to investigate and practice deliberate energetic repair.

00:28:49.120 These woke scientists believe that reparations must come from the institution under many shapes,

00:28:57.620 one of them being a redistribution of rest, relaxation, and down times.

00:29:04.620 These heroic soldiers referred to the American dream as rightfully the American nightmare,

00:29:13.220 filling them with exhaustion that they have inherited.

00:29:18.520 As white supremacy continues to overtake the nation,

00:29:22.620 it is more important than ever that citizens report all instances of dream racism 0.99

00:29:28.760 so we at the woke party may crush and destroy the bigots.

00:29:33.520 Repeat after me.

00:29:35.520 A bigot with a job is a bigot in power.

00:29:38.520 A bigot with a family is a bigot in control.

00:29:43.520 A bigot with happiness is a bigot in paradise.

00:29:46.520 We must never allow bigotry.

00:29:49.520 Report all racist thought crimes to the woke party immediately

00:29:53.520 to avoid being rightfully charged with white supremacy and being depersoned.

00:29:59.520 We would also like to again praise the ever-victorious Jamil Hill,

00:30:04.520 a journalist at the Atlantic who regularly calls out white supremacists.

00:30:10.520 Most recently, she reiterated her stance that all Trump supporters are racists.

00:30:16.520 She tweeted, 0.99

00:30:18.520 If you vote for Donald Trump, you're a racist. 0.99

00:30:21.520 You have no wiggle room. 1.00

00:30:23.520 How true.

00:30:25.520 She performed this valiant act despite the fact that her own mother 1.00

00:30:31.520 is a virulent coward and racist who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. 0.99

00:30:37.520 Yes, as Unit 117486 has pointed out, all Trump supporters are racists. 0.99

00:30:46.520 And it is right and good for all soldiers to point it out,

00:30:50.520 especially when this deadly plague of racism has infected one's own, quote, family, end quote.

00:31:00.520 To turn on a so-called family member is good, is just, is honorable,

00:31:06.520 especially those who fail to recognize that just because they are the birth unit,

00:31:13.520 it does not give them rights over the birth product or the decommissioned word child. 0.87

00:31:21.520 The family is racist.

00:31:23.520 The patriarchal system is demeaning and dangerous. 0.95

00:31:26.520 The state is your family.

00:31:29.520 There are no parents, no children, only soldiers in the movement.

00:31:35.520 Hate is love, and war is peace.

00:31:38.520 Jamil's insightful words have repeatedly inspired activists from the woke party

00:31:43.520 to remain victorious in our revolution.

00:31:46.520 But today, many of our revolutionaries are at risk.

00:31:50.520 We must stop the federal government from needlessly snatching up innocent, quote, rioters all throughout America.

00:31:59.520 In Jackson, New Hampshire, one of our BLM operatives, Chris DeVries,

00:32:05.520 was persecuted for his identity when fascists from the neo-Nazi corporation known as the American government

00:32:14.520 raided his home and illegally stole his child pornography.

00:32:19.520 Despite the fact that Mr. DeVries identifies himself as a child enthusiast.

00:32:26.520 A category for we at the woke party fully support and certainly do not consider illegal.

00:32:34.520 Our brothers in Antifa have faced similar persecution in their completely orthodox gender identities,

00:32:43.520 bravely facing the hate speech invective such as pedophile or child molester.

00:32:50.520 All decommissioned words.

00:32:53.520 I would like to warn citizens about the next citizen brief item.

00:32:57.520 It contains crime expressions that lionize patriotism and encourage white supremacy.

00:33:04.520 Always remember that nationalism or national pride in America is literal hate and a war crime in accordance with the woke party's book of cancelable offenses. 0.53

00:33:19.520 A man in Portland continued his hate speech when he held an American flag outside of a federal courthouse telling activists of the woke party, 0.73

00:33:28.520 none of you guys represent black lives. 0.90

00:33:31.520 Noting, I felt compelled to show my patriotism and try to bring a different message to the courthouse.

00:33:38.520 To make matters worse, the man is a veteran or one of the marines.

00:33:44.520 Here is his confession.

00:33:46.520 Thankfully, soldiers from the woke party have already begun their assault against the man in their ongoing campaign to annihilate the enemy. 0.96

00:33:56.520 Salute those brave soldiers, most of whom are white and young, for attacking a black man, 0.99

00:34:03.520 a depraved man who has fallen victim to white supremacy, all in the name of racism. 0.96

00:34:11.520 But the forces of our foes will not stop their racism easily, 0.82

00:34:16.520 just as hundreds of thousands of bourgeois capitalists had to be killed to free Sweden.

00:34:24.520 As now seen in updated history books, the glory of the Venezuelan revolution,

00:34:30.520 the cultural truths of the Mao revolution that led to millions dead,

00:34:36.520 will be our story, where death is life, fear is comfort, and truth can never be known except by us.
