Transcript
00:00:02.100
We're going to start with your grandparents having sex.
00:00:06.620
It's Bernie Sanders and his dirty, I mean, almost like Penthouse Forum article from 1972.
00:00:16.380
Then, the person that has beaten the Beatles and having the top three songs, one, two, and three, on the Billboard charts at once.
00:00:27.900
Beatles are the only ones that have done it until now.
00:00:33.520
Oh, you'd guess it right away without us even telling you.
00:00:36.740
A really amazing story about a woman who lost her husband.
00:00:41.980
Three children now don't have a father due to a gunman in an office.
00:00:47.120
Wait until you hear her response, and we kind of want to really make her day.
00:00:50.420
And when it comes to the Second Amendment, we should point out as well, tonight on television, there is a show about the new way the left is trying to undermine the Second Amendment.
00:01:04.820
But it's something that they're doing in the world of finance that is trying to take away your Second Amendment rights.
00:01:10.360
That's on tonight at 5 p.m. Eastern on Glenn's TV show.
00:01:19.240
And it's well worth subscribing to and learning.
00:01:24.920
I've been talking about it for two years, saying it was coming.
00:01:29.180
Also, we talked to Elizabeth Johnston about her day of mourning and something really important.
00:01:41.620
You will actually feel bad for Ocasio-Cortez when I finish this story.
00:01:46.400
Because you're going to see how the Democrats are actually using her.
00:01:51.300
And it is for the fundamental transformation of America.
00:01:56.020
And if we don't know about it and we're not paying attention, it will happen in 2020.
00:02:00.560
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:11.320
Let me tell you, our sponsor of this half hour, our spotlight is Home Title Lock.
00:02:22.280
This is something that we all really, really believe in.
00:02:24.900
Because there is only one company that actually stands at the guard, at the gate, if you will, of this new digital world.
00:02:33.580
Where when your title has to be changed, your house is sold, your title comes in digitally and goes to one central vault that keeps all of the titles.
00:02:41.900
So when it comes in and out of that vault, if you have Home Title Lock, they're watching it and going, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:03:01.840
This is the fastest growing crime, according to the FBI.
00:03:06.660
Get a free check on whether or not this has already happened to you.
00:03:14.540
Bernie Sanders, he knows people, don't you think?
00:03:24.740
If he were to open up a shop where he read palms, maybe tarot cards.
00:03:32.140
He might be able to afford multiple vacation homes.
00:03:44.960
Now, remember, this is at a time where if you did anything in the past, if you dressed
00:03:58.260
Even if you did it and not, you did it as to, in your mind, in 1980, compliment Michael
00:04:09.660
You're a Democrat, so you're not thrown out of office.
00:04:11.620
But you're targeted for being thrown out of office.
00:04:12.700
You're targeted for being thrown out of office if you cause any trouble.
00:04:39.060
A man goes home, and I'm going to clean this up because it's, I can't read it on air.
00:04:43.500
Yeah, this is one if you're bringing your kids to school or picking them up or doing, you might want to turn this one off.
00:05:08.060
Yeah, you know, maybe I'm out of step with the typical fantasies, but that's not my typical fantasy.
00:05:18.120
You are, I'm sure, out of step with the typical fantasies.
00:05:24.840
And I don't, I mean, I know this is like watching Grandma and Grandpa have sex, but let me just tell you about my typical fantasy.
00:05:30.960
I have this fantasy, and I think this is typical of most people, where, you know, a guy comes home, and he's, he's, when he gets home, he can really just let loose, and he commits genocide on a race.
00:05:47.240
Any race, doesn't matter, as long as it's not the white race.
00:05:50.080
And, and he kills, he starts with women, and they can be of any color, but he doesn't kill, he kills them.
00:06:00.520
You take, starting with women, you go up to Mount Doom, and you go right to that, you know, that precipice where, you know, Frodo and, and, and, you know, Gollum were wrestling, and Gollum fell into it.
00:06:14.640
I saw that, and I started to pleasure myself a few times just on Gollum, and then I thought, wouldn't it be better if it was a woman or someone of a different race, you know?
00:06:24.040
Because they fall into the lava, and you can see them, oh my gosh, you can see them melt.
00:06:30.340
Oh, I gotta stop talking about it, or I'm just gonna get too excited.
00:06:38.560
You actually are in step with Bernie Sanders and his fantasies.
00:06:53.700
I don't think that's men's fantasies, abusing women.
00:07:02.580
You saw them with a hashtag, Me Too, next to their names a bunch of times over the past couple years.
00:07:09.240
Now he's probably right in line with women, typically women.
00:07:12.600
Bernie Sanders, I mean, you want to talk ladies, man.
00:07:15.040
You want to talk about a guy who just knows the fairer sex.
00:07:21.500
So he says, a woman enjoys sexual relations with her man as she fantasized being raped by three men simultaneously.
00:07:32.500
I know my wife is always, she's like, man, have we just had two more guys that were taking me forcefully?
00:07:39.940
No, and just to remind you, we're talking about the words, the actual words written by a young man named Bernard Sanders.
00:07:54.680
He's probably the front runner right now in the Democratic Party.
00:07:57.720
He is, by most polling, one of the most popular politicians in America.
00:08:01.660
And he believes this, at least in 1972, he believed that this was the fantasy of men and women.
00:08:10.420
I mean, this is a guy who, this is why progressives believe there's a rape culture.
00:08:18.020
Because people like this are saying, look, we know what all guys are like.
00:08:22.780
No, Bernie, guys and women, they're not like this.
00:08:25.740
And Bernie Sanders seems to be thinking there's a rape culture.
00:08:27.800
And if there were, women would be excited about it.
00:08:31.820
They're thrilled about the possibility of this happening to them.
00:08:51.740
This is so terrifying that he believes the typical fantasy is this.
00:09:01.600
He's projecting that fantasy on the average male.
00:09:05.840
To be fair, and I know no one would do this for us.
00:09:11.480
That this particular piece was written by Bernard Sanders.
00:09:14.440
We are not entirely sure if Bernard Sanders and Bernie Sanders, I mean, maybe it's an alter ego, a really clever pen name.
00:09:27.900
And so if you see Bernard Sanders' name on a ballot, you may want to pause and think about this op-ed a little bit.
00:09:35.080
So he talks about, you know, women being tied up and women being abused, women being raped.
00:09:42.600
Then he says, you know, then they get dressed up.
00:09:44.680
They go to church or to their revolutionary political meeting.
00:09:49.020
Notice that he says it's their going to church or their revolutionary political meeting.
00:09:56.200
Meaning, to me at least, that's the church for the left.
00:10:01.780
First, have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore?
00:10:11.160
No, Bernie, I've never even heard of those magazines.
00:10:15.860
I don't know. Can you look up, Merce, look up Stag magazine or Man magazine or is it Kiro?
00:10:25.740
Do you know why the newspapers with articles like Girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well?
00:10:39.220
This is, this is, this is like, this is the stuff that you would say.
00:10:43.460
We went to his Facebook page and he had posted these things.
00:10:50.120
How come nobody, nobody said what's wrong with this guy?
00:10:54.600
Nobody alerted anybody that he said these were his fantasies?
00:11:00.020
I mean, this is the stuff that would be blocked by the FBI now after you found that he was the killer of some sort of a sex cult.
00:11:09.180
Yeah, this is the, this is the, the paperwork unearthed in the Ted Bundy tapes documentary.
00:11:15.080
Did you know Ted Bundy ran, I mean, he wrote this.
00:11:18.300
Of course you can believe that he did all these things.
00:11:20.760
I mean, and by the way, the next line says, uh, to what in us are they appealing?
00:11:27.380
I mean, he seems to be in some odd way, including himself.
00:11:31.900
Well, I don't know what Stag Man, Hero, or Tough Magazine is.
00:11:35.040
But we do know what Girl 12 raped by 14 men is.
00:11:40.720
Do you know why newspapers with the articles like Girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well?
00:11:55.460
You know, I'll tell you what that appeals to, our sense of horror.
00:12:03.000
Why would, why would we pick up that newspaper and go, oh my gosh.
00:12:10.420
We look at that and say, oh my good Lord, what?
00:12:23.040
So he says, women for their own preservation are trying to pull themselves together and it's
00:12:32.500
Slavishness on one hand breeds pigness on the other hand.
00:12:39.220
Pigness on one hand breeds slavishness on the other.
00:12:51.380
This is every academic article these days about intersectionality.
00:12:55.320
In the beginning, there were strong men who killed animals and brought home the food and
00:13:04.360
Only the roles remain waiting to be shaken off.
00:13:23.220
Their qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of
00:13:36.420
How do you be gentle without being subservient?
00:13:39.820
How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and without getting strung
00:13:46.000
How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover but sustain, maintain the soul which
00:13:56.780
I will tell you this, that I do have compassion.
00:14:01.960
She was addicted to prescription drugs towards the end of her life because she was in this
00:14:09.220
She was not part of the World War II generation and she was not part of the 1960s, you know,
00:14:19.620
She was in that generation that was the bridge between the two.
00:14:23.680
So she wasn't accepted by the old people because she didn't feel comfortable there.
00:14:36.480
And I have to tell you, I have great compassion for women and men who lived through this time.
00:14:47.400
My father-in-law and my mother-in-law, both on both sides, they both grew up in typical
00:14:53.340
new immigrant Italian families where the man was the man and the woman was at home making
00:15:10.220
Not all men, but in this particular family, grandpa was not a good guy.
00:15:17.100
And what the men said went, well, my, my father-in-law grew up in the 1960s where no, that was not
00:15:28.640
So the older generation was like, what are you a girl?
00:15:40.340
And my mother-in-law was a, was a woman who, you know, didn't necessarily want to stay home
00:15:50.520
That was a nightmare to navigate, I would imagine.
00:15:56.200
And so in some ways, this is what this article is saying.
00:16:00.040
It's like, look, the people, men and women of that particular time and age are lost.
00:16:06.180
However, what he says the old typical male is and what the, and what the new woman is, is
00:16:17.460
I mean, at the very least, every interview with Bernie Sanders should have questions about
00:16:26.720
They should make him explain exactly what he thought and why he, he thought that was the
00:16:32.700
way men and women were and whether he believed those things, because that's certainly the
00:16:37.020
treatment that would happen to any, can you imagine a Republican with written something
00:16:40.640
Forget about this is the, I just explained to you a very logical way to look at this
00:16:46.440
article and say, look, this is the time and this was the problem.
00:16:52.280
You could, as long as you're deleting the first few paragraphs, you can get away with
00:16:57.200
I'm not going to, because I don't believe it, but I could make an argument that would
00:17:02.420
But nobody's going to do that for a Republican.
00:17:07.240
They won't do it for people who lived 200 years ago.
00:17:12.540
Why should we do it for somebody who lived in 1972?
00:17:26.880
Daily Caller just put out a video of me and they asked me the question last week when I
00:17:31.880
was in Washington, why is Donald Trump relatable?
00:17:40.440
You have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows, of course, it's Donald
00:17:57.120
I think the American people connect to Donald Trump because he is not processed.
00:18:11.660
He is not somebody who has been homogenized and run through focus groups.
00:18:17.640
I remember when I was at CNN, this is 2007, and Barack Obama was starting to come up in
00:18:25.400
the polls and I remember saying, the next president we have is going to be, he's going to look
00:18:39.880
He might even fart from time to time, but he'd be just like you.
00:18:44.560
We have gone from the slickest, most pre-packaged president to the guy on the end of the bar
00:18:53.380
stool and it's, it's, it's not just that, he's also successful in the free market.
00:19:00.640
And so people see him and he's, he is an image of success.
00:19:07.560
He may be the most eligible bachelor in America.
00:19:17.280
So it kind of gives you this, well, if he did it, I could probably do it too.
00:19:24.820
And then on top of it, because we all fart and we all know it, but we don't ever talk
00:19:32.560
When he talks about it, you're like, I love this guy.
00:19:38.520
And, and that's refreshing because you are, um, connecting on that level.
00:19:49.800
He has told the American people, you're not going to take him down.
00:19:54.900
It's fun to watch the media try to take him down because people have already baked into
00:19:59.200
They know he's told them, I'm this guy, I'm going to do these things.
00:20:04.300
And to my surprise early on, he did those things.
00:20:10.860
I didn't think he was going to do those things.
00:20:15.360
Uh, and so now you have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows,
00:20:24.200
of course it's Donald Trump and he's taking bold, bold action.
00:20:39.100
I think if anyone's looking to, you know, write a headline for a news story, including
00:20:42.040
that video, you could go with Glenn Beck on farts, quote, that's refreshing.
00:20:46.620
Uh, so if you, if you wanted to go with that, you could, I think it's a, I think that's probably
00:20:51.660
a pretty good summary of the way people feel about Trump, right?
00:20:56.220
Like he is that, that unrefined nature that the media obviously hates so much is a big
00:21:06.080
They put you in this, this small little room and they say, okay, um, you can answer one
00:21:11.880
of these three questions and it needs to be about three minutes.
00:21:14.320
And so you don't really have any time to like think about it.
00:21:18.800
And so I said, I don't remember which question that was, maybe question number two.
00:21:41.920
If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?
00:21:46.540
If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.
00:21:52.520
I'm not calling, I'm not going to call this audience an audience anymore.
00:21:59.620
And once in a while we'll have to call a powwow.
00:22:01.660
I'm just saying I can say it because I'm how many more times?
00:22:06.880
I'm 13 times more, uh, native American than Elizabeth Warren.
00:22:18.820
I don't know why, but I'm suddenly very offended by those.
00:22:23.600
Did you always feel uneasy at that Seinfeld episode?
00:22:35.320
He's the principal, uh, Manatee School for the Arts.
00:22:38.540
I'm sorry to bring you into this mess, uh, Bill.
00:22:40.600
He has nothing to do with the previous conversation.
00:22:49.800
Explain what you've done with bringing veterans in.
00:22:54.320
Well, it all started, uh, when the legislature, uh, passed the bill last year that requires
00:23:01.220
an armed guard on every campus, either an SRO or the new guardian program, or you could
00:23:09.520
So the, the question of should you have an armed guard on campus was kind of taken out
00:23:15.240
That's not even a conversation anymore because it is required by law.
00:23:19.160
So when you get to that point, you start asking the question, well, who do we want with, uh,
00:23:25.600
with a gun on campus and, uh, what's the purpose?
00:23:29.120
And, uh, as you, as you follow the conversation further along, uh, then you have to ask the question,
00:23:35.300
well, what kind of gun are they going to carry?
00:23:39.320
So, um, you know, we looked at, um, uh, if you're going to have somebody who, and, and
00:23:45.480
remember that the ultimate purpose for this individual, it grows out of the Parkland shooting
00:23:53.380
So they're here in the, the ultimate tragedy situation where you have an active shooter
00:24:00.220
or, uh, you know, assailant who comes on campus threatening faculty, staff, students, and so
00:24:06.900
So if you look at that, that far end of the spectrum, the tip of the spear, you know, and
00:24:13.080
everybody likes to talk about, it's a rare occurrence.
00:24:18.700
And then nobody cares about statistics because it's very real ask the, the, the folks at
00:24:24.260
Parkland, you know, whether the statistics mean anything at all, doesn't matter how rare
00:24:30.340
So when you look at that, uh, one thing I said was, you know, most, uh, police officers
00:24:37.740
go through their career, never firing their weapon in anger.
00:24:40.920
And most of them go through their career, never actually having been shot at.
00:24:44.820
So if, um, if we actually had an incident here, I made the comment one day that I, I would
00:24:52.980
really rather not have that be the first time that your guard had been shot at because I've
00:25:02.080
I've never been shot at, but I have talked to an awful lot of people who have, and I know
00:25:07.180
that, and I've counseled some of those folks and I know this is a very life changing experience.
00:25:12.460
Uh, you kind of figure out who you are, how you're going to respond.
00:25:19.000
And I'm thinking, you know, in the heat of the moment, I, I really don't want to have a
00:25:25.200
situation where I have someone who has to stop for a minute and, and, and think about
00:25:30.820
And, and I don't want to get into, you know, the Parkland who hesitated and so forth.
00:25:38.200
We have a group of individuals, and this is where we came to, who are trained.
00:25:49.580
Uh, many of them have come out the other side, uh, better than they were before.
00:25:58.060
But, uh, we looked at it and said, well, you know, if, if we made that a criteria for hiring,
00:26:04.760
and then, of course, we're going to have people go through psychological evaluations.
00:26:11.500
So that's the first step in this journey is having people who understand that in the
00:26:20.900
event of a, of a tragedy like this, they kind of have an idea of what, what happens and,
00:26:29.440
Of course, every situation is different, but at least they've been through it.
00:26:32.560
And they know that it's survival, they know there's a mission that has to be completed,
00:26:37.880
and they know that it's their job to go ahead and do that, just like it was in, in the military.
00:26:43.400
Bill, I have to tell you, um, as somebody who has to have, uh, security, I just hired,
00:26:49.440
uh, a new security, uh, agent, and, um, they go through all kinds of, you know, testing
00:26:54.820
and everything else before they're even coming to, to, um, interview with me.
00:26:58.700
And, uh, I had re I had just really good choices, um, in front of me.
00:27:03.820
One guy who made it to the final selection, uh, had, had lots of military experience, but
00:27:10.900
And I said to him, how do I know that you, when the, when the gunfire sounds that you're,
00:27:18.560
you're going to run in, or you're going to do your job.
00:27:22.080
And he said, well, I'm, I'm confident of, uh, I'm confident of that.
00:27:25.980
And he made a good case and he was a really good guy.
00:27:28.360
However, I didn't have anything to, to show that that is what, cause I don't know what
00:27:33.080
I would do if I'm, if I'm being shot at, um, you can say, well, I'll pull my gun and
00:27:38.320
I'll, no, you don't know that combat veterans have been through it and they, you know how
00:27:50.520
If my kid was in your school, uh, I would be, I would breathe a lot, a lot easier knowing
00:27:56.680
that you're going for tested qualified combat vets.
00:28:03.340
That's, uh, that's, uh, who we're going with and, uh, we're very comfortable.
00:28:09.120
Um, and this is, this has been a long conversation and I spent a lot of time with our, our chief
00:28:14.000
of police here who actually has come on our board now, uh, after all this, uh, discussion
00:28:20.020
and, uh, and, and thinking next step, you have to look at, uh, uh, all these SROs, all
00:28:28.580
these guardians of the training program and everything, uh, equips them with a, with a nine
00:28:40.700
Uh, it's quite an expanse across the cafeteria, things like that.
00:28:46.000
And, uh, you know, I love to use the, the analogy that if you were standing in front of our art
00:28:50.960
gallery, looking across the cafeteria, it's 151 feet.
00:28:57.160
Um, and, and next time you go to the range, try taking your nine millimeter and shooting
00:29:06.620
And, and everybody I've ever talked to all the law enforcement, it's like, they kind
00:29:14.280
But my problem is that I will agree that the majority of school shooters, uh, even though
00:29:20.880
it is small, the majority have come in with handguns.
00:29:23.660
However, the most egregious, the most horrific, like Parkland, uh, and some of the others, they've
00:29:33.220
And, and, uh, and my concern is, for example, they're going to come in with, uh, level three
00:29:39.580
body armor, which they're not supposed to have, but you can buy it at pawn shops anymore.
00:29:44.500
Uh, so as I look at that, you know, 150 feet, if I'm standing there, my guardian next to me,
00:29:49.980
and, and, and for some incredible chance, uh, an assailant were to get through that door,
00:29:57.140
which you have to buzz in and everything, uh, and get past.
00:29:59.780
But if they were to get in, I have this horrible, horrible scenario in my mind that I look at
00:30:05.460
the guardian and say, Hey, will you run down there with your nine millimeter and take care
00:30:10.180
And, you know, that's, um, that'd be tough for me to ask someone to do that, knowing
00:30:16.380
that their probability of survival is, is going to be pretty slim.
00:30:24.340
And I'm just using that because that's our distance.
00:30:29.420
An AR 15, 150 feet with a decent sight on it is, is a piece of cake.
00:30:34.360
In fact, I've talked to my guardian and, uh, you know, as an expert marksman from the military
00:30:40.420
and who, who goes out to the range virtually every weekend to keep in shape, uh, it's like
00:30:47.100
he said, you'd have to try, he'd have to try not, not to, to, to make a shot like that.
00:30:53.040
And that's my concern that why would you ask if you're, first of all, if you're going
00:30:58.600
to ask someone to put their life on the line to guard you, why would you ask them to use
00:31:03.420
tools that are not as effective as other tools and guns are tools in this situation?
00:31:10.160
So talking to Bill Jones, principal, Manatee School for the Arts that has hired veterans
00:31:14.700
now for security, and he's not handing them a, uh, nine millimeter handgun.
00:31:20.580
Well, actually they do carry a nine millimeter sidearm.
00:31:23.580
But in addition to that, um, we, we wanted a high powered rifle and, um, uh, uh, quite
00:31:30.120
frankly, we wanted something a little shorter than a standard AR cause you're in an urban
00:31:36.460
Uh, you don't need a big, big barrel hanging out there swinging around.
00:31:40.620
So, uh, I looked into short barrel rifles and, uh, I, I have a, an attorney who specializes
00:31:52.340
And the problem is as a charter school, we're a 501c3 here in Florida and, uh, to purchase,
00:32:00.120
uh, uh, NFA class three weapons is a little bit of a nightmare nightmare in terms of the
00:32:06.860
paperwork and, uh, having your board members and all that.
00:32:11.140
It's not just a simple trust like an individual would do.
00:32:14.320
So we, you know, we, we rankled with that for a while and I said, well, let's just go with
00:32:20.380
Uh, you know, we'll get, we'll get the, the full length of the barrel.
00:32:23.700
We'll get the shorter gun and, uh, let's see what, what's available.
00:32:28.420
But we looked around a little bit and quite frankly, uh, we were very impressed with this
00:32:33.540
new Caltech, uh, RDB 17, which is, uh, chambered in two, two, three or five, five, six.
00:32:40.600
And, uh, the military round, um, it, it, it, uh, it's a very short gun, but it maintains
00:32:53.460
Uh, of course, our guardian is pretty tall, uh, hefty guy, but it hangs very nicely.
00:33:00.560
It's, uh, you know, if, if you're not used to guns at all, it's probably any, any rifle
00:33:06.200
is going to be visually intimidating, but as compared to a standard AR-15, something like
00:33:11.880
that, it's not nearly as visually intimidating, but it also makes it easy to carry around.
00:33:20.520
Uh, my guardian, uh, tells me that he's put about 4,500 rounds through it.
00:33:28.520
Um, so let me, let me ask you a while because it's, it's slightly different from the AR platform.
00:33:37.740
Are you doing a commercial for Kel-Tec here for just a second?
00:33:48.220
Um, pushback, um, there, there are several levels that you get pushback from.
00:33:56.540
It was horrible because they were all foreign emails and I said, Hey, do you, do you have
00:34:02.800
Or do you just want to tell me what the leader of your group has to say?
00:34:06.380
Um, and they were basically people who opposed to guns period, uh, no guns in schools.
00:34:14.560
So I've got to have a gun in school then, uh, the vast majority, I would say of parents
00:34:21.500
of all, I've gotten a lot of email from around the country, especially from vet groups.
00:34:26.820
You can imagine how pleased they are that, that we're doing this, but it's, it's been
00:34:32.540
Uh, I have had some pushback from some, uh, gun snobs who, uh, have dissed the Caltech and
00:34:45.000
I know gun people are a little like libertarians, man.
00:34:55.580
Um, uh, we did have, you know, I had someone comments like, oh, it, it makes it look like
00:35:03.980
And I said, well, here we're talking reality here.
00:35:07.180
We're not talking about, we wish things could be different.
00:35:11.200
It's awful that if somebody comes in with a gun and start shooting, it is war.
00:35:16.140
There's blood, there's dead people, there's bodies.
00:35:19.320
And if you're not prepared for that, then you're not going to get the outcome that,
00:35:27.160
You know, everybody, everybody talks to me, like I say about the statistics.
00:35:37.200
And I use the analogy of the lotto, you know, uh, what are the odds of winning lotto one in
00:35:42.520
14 million, one in 30 million, but you know, every week or two or a month or so, oh my goodness,
00:35:50.300
And like I say, for those people, those, those group statistics are meaningless to the individual
00:35:57.980
And the same thing is true of school shootings.
00:35:59.700
Every school that's ever had a school shooting, you're going to hear the same thing.
00:36:07.100
Bill, I want to thank you so much for being on the program.
00:36:09.280
Thank you for, uh, for, uh, standing up and being logical and reasonable, uh, about all
00:36:15.460
And, and I think being on, uh, radio programs and television programs and everything else
00:36:20.060
is actually going to help your students, uh, because you're sending out the message.
00:36:28.480
We take this seriously and you want to kill somebody.
00:36:34.820
I can't imagine how long the announcements go on every morning though.
00:36:37.680
I feel like you might not go to, you might not get to any classes.
00:36:50.720
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:36:53.380
In just a few days on Saturday, there is something called the day of morning.
00:37:11.800
It was happening in Albany and it was started by Elizabeth Johnston.
00:37:16.860
Now she was, uh, on the program with us last week.
00:37:19.940
And now there are 20 more cities where this has started to spread.
00:37:31.160
Uh, Elizabeth is a speaker and an author and a vlogger.
00:37:34.760
And, uh, she, um, uh, has been involved in all kinds of things, but mainly raising her
00:37:43.020
Uh, some things have happened in life where she said enough is enough, not on my watch.
00:37:47.320
And she has now become a very big, powerful, um, uh, voice in social media and has written
00:37:55.480
a new book called not on my watch, but we want to talk to her about the day of morning.
00:37:59.740
So what's happened since last we spoke Elizabeth.
00:38:03.360
Glenn, um, partially thanks to being on your show last week.
00:38:07.060
We could not be more excited about the response to the day of morning.
00:38:10.640
As you mentioned, we are now simulcasting the event to 21 cities.
00:38:15.840
Uh, days ago, we had, uh, sold out of our venue space at the convention center.
00:38:21.260
We are scrambling to rent more rooms at the convention center to simulcast.
00:38:25.520
I think we'll have at least 5,000 people at the convention center in Albany, New York,
00:38:37.460
People want to be anywhere they can be near the day of morning because we are standing
00:38:42.840
in the gap and interposing for our nation on Saturday.
00:38:46.800
We believe the blood of these babies is crying up to God right now, and we are in deep trouble.
00:38:52.780
And we've seen in history times when people have stood in the gap for their nation and God
00:38:59.320
Like when Moses stood in the gap for the Hebrew people and God spared them, and Esther stood
00:39:04.140
in the gap and called for fasting and prayer when Haman wanted to destroy her people and
00:39:10.520
That is the heart of what we are doing on Saturday, and people just want to get as close to it
00:39:17.460
All right, so you have events now in Apple Valley, California, Eugene, Oregon.
00:39:27.440
Sorry, Oregon, but you know what I'm talking about.
00:39:35.320
Oh, you can, if you go to the dayofmorning.org, you will see the 21 cities where we are simulcasting.
00:39:41.960
Scroll to the bottom of the website, dayofmorning.org, and you will see that we are just in tons
00:39:51.580
I just, I think people, Glenn, they are tired of the half measures that we have been taking.
00:39:58.240
When are we going to see that these half measures aren't working?
00:40:01.800
You know, when you cut branches off a tree, the branches are going to grow back, right?
00:40:06.900
And the pro-aborts are always coming back with more and more bloodshed, more and more outrageous
00:40:15.260
And the pro-life movement has been strangely fixated on passing pathetic legislation that
00:40:21.600
says, you know, you can kill the baby as long as the doctor has hospital privileges, or you
00:40:26.680
can kill the baby as long as you let the mom wait 24 hours, or you can kill the baby as
00:40:36.320
What if we said that back in the Holocaust time about the Jewish people?
00:40:40.340
Okay, you can kill Jews as long as the clinic is sanitary.
00:40:48.180
And that's why this is a vertical response on Saturday, Glenn.
00:40:53.120
We have all just been completely negligent and complicit in this crime of child killing,
00:41:03.500
This is not a thing where everybody gets up and gives a speech or, you know, and you're
00:41:10.600
You're asking people to, on Saturday, not to shop, to close your business if you're a
00:41:16.320
business owner, to wear black in mourning, and repent for the sin of abortion and ask
00:41:24.260
So at these events, what you're going to see is what exactly, Elizabeth?
00:41:29.860
You will hear inspiring testimonies and stories from, for instance, a mother who chose life
00:41:37.780
because Christians were there to help her choose life when she was heading into the abortion
00:41:42.680
You'll hear from an eight-year-old abortion survivor who was adopted and is just a beautiful
00:41:52.140
Harris, who's going to deal with what a problem this is in the black community and how they
00:41:59.420
But more than speakers, you're going to hear us all praying, seeking God, crying out to God
00:42:16.500
And Glenn, I just cannot thank you enough for partnering with us in this and helping us
00:42:24.320
Elizabeth, I really appreciate what you're doing, and I think it's very brave and high
00:42:32.240
And what I like about this movement is it isn't about people and it isn't about parties or
00:42:38.860
It's really about what I believe is a covenant that we made with God, and we have broken that
00:42:46.840
And if we don't cry out to him and beg for forgiveness, if he doesn't hear from us, we
00:42:58.720
Because I firmly believe with the technology and the ingenuity that we have as Americans,
00:43:06.600
if we go dark, we are going to be the worst nation ever in history.
00:43:14.980
We are going to make the Nazis look like rookies.
00:43:17.860
With what we have now in technology, we can kill millions of people overnight.
00:43:23.660
And it can all be done in the cover of darkness in their own home, and nobody will ever see
00:43:40.300
It's, you know, the man's love for man has waxed cold.
00:43:48.080
Think about the passion that the left has for their ideas and the lack of passion that
00:43:53.920
we have for ours, the potheads will defy the feds for their marijuana state after state
00:44:00.820
after state, but we don't even have enough love for our pre-born neighbor to defy the
00:44:06.180
feds when they tell us it's okay to execute babies in cold blood.
00:44:11.200
This is why we're meeting on Saturday, because something has happened to our hearts.
00:44:16.320
We are dead inside to an issue that should so greatly alarm us that we can't sleep at
00:44:22.600
night, an issue that would cause us, yes, to defy the feds, to say, I don't care what
00:44:35.480
And so that's why we are seeking God to change our hearts on Saturday.
00:44:39.780
Elizabeth Johnston, she's the author of the book, ActivistMommy.com.
00:44:45.980
It's the day of mourning that is happening this Saturday.
00:44:49.840
I cannot urge you strongly enough, no matter what your faith is, please, please turn your
00:44:58.740
eyes to God and beg for forgiveness and help and time so we can correct the sins that we
00:45:13.820
And I know, you know, I'm not talking to anybody about repenting.
00:45:21.780
I have said so many times in my career, and especially at the times when I was at Fox,
00:45:27.320
we were under attack on so many different things.
00:45:30.240
And people came to me and said, you've got to talk about abortion in life.
00:45:38.080
Somebody else has to carry that bucket because I just can't carry any more water.
00:45:49.420
But in the end, those excuses don't mean anything.
00:45:52.720
This is a holocaust that has happened in our country.
00:45:56.480
And those of us who say we are against this, we do have to stand in peace, in love, with
00:46:08.820
And we should take the beam out of our own eye first before we look for the beams in other
00:46:34.920
So I want to talk a little bit about, I want to talk about a little, something that I found
00:46:48.140
interesting today about the inside scoop of Cortez and the way AOC, I hate that, I hate
00:47:05.420
It is, they just are trying to make her a thing so badly for different reasons.
00:47:10.140
I think every, like, mainstream analysis of her is completely wrong.
00:47:19.740
Like, the typical way you look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, at least the way the media
00:47:25.380
does, she's this energetic superstar, up-and-coming future of the Democratic Party that has lit everything
00:47:34.000
And the Republicans are obsessed with her because they're afraid of her.
00:47:43.100
At the bat, we talked about the idea that Republicans are only bringing her up.
00:47:46.740
If you think about the goals of Republicans in election cycles for the past, let's say,
00:47:52.600
70 years, it's been try to show that Democrats are socialists, right?
00:47:58.620
And that will scare a voter from voting for them, right?
00:48:02.060
Like, being honest about, like, you might think if you're a Democrat, oh, they're not
00:48:07.100
But the Republican goal has been to paint Democrats that way.
00:48:12.460
Like, they are, many of them are, support so many policies that are the same.
00:48:18.560
For the example of Barack Obama this recently, when we were saying, like, hey, this guy has
00:48:23.200
a lot of socialist tendencies, we were called racists and haters, we were throwing out these
00:48:41.220
And so, the idea that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Republicans, are afraid of her, it's the
00:48:47.240
She is giving them what they've tried to accomplish for 70 years.
00:48:50.680
They are finally saying, yes, Democrats are socialists, and we're telling you that we are.
00:48:58.700
In fact, let me play the audio from Bernie Sanders, where he just said, look, you know,
00:49:05.980
just a few years ago, nobody wanted to say that they were a socialist.
00:49:13.640
Many of the ideas that I talked about, Medicare for all, raising the minimum wage to 15,
00:49:20.680
dollars an hour, making public colleges and universities tuition-free.
00:49:25.560
All of those ideas, people would say, oh, Bernie, they're so radical.
00:49:29.360
They are extremely American people, just won't accept those ideas.
00:49:33.220
Well, you know what's happened in over three years?
00:49:35.480
All of those ideas and many more are now part of the political mainstream.
00:49:49.180
FiveThirtyEight did a study on this and showed, yeah.
00:49:52.500
CNN said, yeah, by the way, this is the most liberal field in history.
00:49:58.120
So what was wrong in the media, what the media said, oh, how dare you, you racist, say this,
00:50:15.160
It's a political ideology that has been tried all around the world over and over again.
00:50:21.720
No, I'm just telling you that's what they believe.
00:50:27.880
So the right should celebrate that they are now embracing this because we can have at least an honest conversation.
00:50:37.140
I mean, my love for a campaign between two people last year or last time in 16 was Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.
00:50:56.220
I am not for the Constitution being the way it is.
00:50:59.480
I want to reverse and have a second Bill of Rights.
00:51:02.800
And I want to make this a document that says these are the things the government must do.
00:51:08.380
And Ted Cruz believes in the Constitution the way it is and says, no, these are the things the government must never do.
00:51:14.040
Let's have that conversation and just get done with it.
00:51:27.120
Now, we look at Ocasio-Cortez and the media says, oh, we're just afraid of her.
00:51:38.040
Now, I want you to know, there are two Democratic parties right now.
00:51:45.940
And then there's the hip replacement Democrats.
00:51:49.840
And the hip replacement Democrats, we all know who they are.
00:51:53.460
It's Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and everybody else.
00:51:55.860
And kind of Bernie Sanders, except he's actually in both categories.
00:51:59.740
He actually fits probably more in the hip Democrats.
00:52:02.400
The same way, like, you would have put Ron Paul in the hip Republicans back in the day.
00:52:06.740
Like, even though he might be older, he fits more of that brand.
00:52:12.540
And he's such a rebel that he's gone back to being a Democrat to run for the presidential candidacy in the Democratic Party.
00:52:20.180
Although he's always an independent, and now he's going after independents, like Howard Schultz, because you've got to join the party.
00:52:33.340
And these two groups are really looked at as crazies.
00:52:39.980
And I believe, I've wondered, why is Nancy Pelosi and why are these people just allowing Ocasio-Cortez just to do this?
00:52:51.300
Just to take out, you know, a talking point memo, quote unquote, and say, we're going to get rid of cars and we're going to get airplanes and everything else.
00:53:09.540
Last night on the TV show, we went over the Green New Deal.
00:53:13.120
And I want to bring you the highlights of that show and show you she is, I actually think she's a pathetic figure now.
00:53:23.200
I think she's a really sad, pathetic figure that has no idea how she's being used by the hip replacement Democrats.
