00:00:50.840 you're listening to the best of the glenn back program

00:01:01.340 what you think of the uh convention and the speech last night loved the speech last night yeah loved

00:01:10.460 it and you know as soon as soon as i was watching on fox last night for the first time and as soon

00:01:15.960 as the speech ended uh chris wallace and others started tearing him apart because i guess it wasn't

00:01:21.140 loud enough for them or it wasn't rallying i was glad i was glad i liked his tone yeah when the

00:01:28.800 audience they did it once they're like whoa i was like oh stop that right stop that and i think this

00:01:34.420 was a a definite outreach to independence he's already got the base secure oh my gosh okay so let's

00:01:40.520 show that the independence that they've got a comfortable place where you know you're he's not

00:01:45.800 insane he's he's not out of control he's not what you think he is he's not what you've been told he

00:01:52.260 is that's for darn sure yeah and i think he accomplished that really well last night so i felt

00:01:57.540 really i was watching i felt really guilty really guilty about one thing in particular um you know i have

00:02:05.220 no problem speaking out about the president's uh policies and i have no problem saying in you know

00:02:10.760 2016 i don't think he's going to do any of those things um because i didn't think he would he had no

00:02:16.700 record of of actually believing any of these things um and uh i said it and i said at the time if i'm wrong

00:02:25.060 i'll admit it and i have admitted that long ago as he started to fulfill those promises um i was shocked

00:02:33.300 by a lot of them um and but last night all i could think of was when he called me when my dad died

00:02:40.220 do you remember what i said afterwards

00:02:43.060 said he called me because he had heard my dad died because we had to leave the hotel i was staying at a

00:02:51.180 trump hotel and um he talked to me about my dad and and i hung up the phone and i said he is running

00:02:58.440 for president and i attributed the entire phone call to politics and in watching this week

00:03:07.960 i i think he is i mean i think he does not care about what he says about people in person i mean you

00:03:16.260 know on stage or whatever he was he will call you anything and say anything he does not care

00:03:24.900 but i think he is publicly like that and i i have i am afraid i have misjudged him i think privately

00:03:35.560 you know the thing with alice johnson all of the stories that came out this week

00:03:40.320 from people who were not political they didn't know donald trump i think one of the most important

00:03:46.560 things about the two conventions was one you had a guy in office for 47 years who now says he's going

00:03:53.340 to do these things and they had a bunch of people say look i've known him for a long time and he's

00:03:58.200 going to do those things okay and they're asking you on biden trust me trust me i know him the people

00:04:05.600 that were speaking out about donald trump were the exact opposite i didn't know him i don't really know

00:04:11.540 him but look at what he did um and i think there's it just rang true to me and i felt so bad

00:04:21.420 about what i said how i said things in 2016 um and i've been feeling this way for a couple of days

00:04:28.440 during this convention uh and i just feel like i i need to apologize to his children um because i

00:04:35.080 can't imagine i mean i just had donald trump jr on with us and i can't imagine he acted like we were

00:04:40.940 old friends i can't imagine they didn't have several conversations about me at the dinner table

00:04:46.560 on some of the things that i said uh and i really regret it because i i do think publicly

00:04:53.940 twitter and everything else i think the guy is out of control and doesn't care doesn't care enjoys it

00:05:00.620 but i think privately he's a different guy because his children love him and i don't believe like

00:05:09.760 for example ivanka is a psychopath and how is it ivanka loves him and all of his children love him

00:05:18.540 as much as they do if he's a psychopath in real life he's not no he's not i don't think we ever

00:05:25.680 said he was a psychopath no no i know but people think he is because he just doesn't seem like he

00:05:30.340 cares yeah you know he'll say anything and it looks like he doesn't care i don't think that's

00:05:36.060 said anything wrong during the campaign frankly we disagreed with him on policy mostly uh and because

00:05:42.860 he you know i judge his track record was not one of a conservative and if i would have left it at

00:05:48.100 if i would have left it at politics i think i would have been fine because i've already said i was wrong

00:05:53.240 and i said i would say i was wrong um but i i um really went after his character and he can be

00:06:00.060 targeted with his character um and i think that's fair but i went after his character um personally

00:06:06.380 and i think i was really wrong on the level of i think when it's personal and he's involved one in

00:06:17.020 one one on one he does care oh i think he does care yeah yeah and i that's definitely the messaging

00:06:22.580 i think that they wanted to get through yeah and it did and it worked and because it didn't it felt

00:06:26.800 real you know none of this felt staged or phony or not at all you know none of it seemed like okay

00:06:33.540 we're reaching out to the black people again it didn't feel that no because it was all it was black

00:06:38.260 people who were saying look at i love this guy right and this guy is going to take us to the next level

00:06:44.240 the democrats haven't yeah and like he said last night i've done more for blacks in three years than

00:06:50.880 joe biden's done in 47 yeah and it's true by a lot it is true it is i mean when you saw i i didn't know

00:07:00.240 about the you know the funding of the you know the the black colleges i didn't i just didn't know all

00:07:05.520 of the things did you watch it from the beginning good list of stuff it was speech no no no the whole

00:07:10.360 convention last night uh most of it i fell asleep at one point all right so i started watching it from

00:07:14.820 the beginning and i was just watching the raw ap feed uh and so i didn't hear any of the commentary

00:07:20.420 and i saw everything that was on stage they opened up with a couple of people um both african americans

00:07:27.840 one was like look i grew up in really a bad section of town i never even thought about a republican

00:07:33.980 um and he now works for the president and and was so full of joy it was an amazing uh testimony

00:07:42.900 then this woman in houston who said two years ago i was homeless yeah did you see that yes

00:07:50.300 was that powerful very powerful and the way she ended it and saying look don't let anyone tell

00:07:54.720 you you can't do it yeah i'm i'm closing on a new house at the end of the month yeah i mean it was

00:08:01.500 great it was because of one of his programs right and the other thing i thought was great was that

00:08:06.600 montage they did of actual people who have changed from democrat to republican yeah and especially the

00:08:12.440 democratic socialist oh my god said she's gonna vote for trump this time that was powerful too and the

00:08:17.960 skinny white kid with the big you know holes in his ears yeah he is yeah he would not be pegged as a

00:08:25.320 republican no ever and he was like you know i would never voted for a republican but i was living in my

00:08:32.320 apartment i think in new york and he said uh you know i was talking to this neighbor who is black and i

00:08:38.440 said you know what do you do or whatever and she said i'm in the system and he said i just realized

00:08:42.800 everything that i thought i was for traps people it just traps them you know it was uh did you guys

00:08:49.680 see the richard grinnell uh thing yes yeah i think it was last night yeah or excuse me two nights ago

00:08:54.960 yeah uh where he was basically making the case as donald trump is the most pro-gay rights president

00:09:00.000 uh yeah ever uh and it's interesting and we've been talking about that since the beginning he's always

00:09:04.840 been kind of uh friendly uh to to gay rights i think and the only one to ever be elected in favor of gay

00:09:10.740 marriage yeah but it was a power it wasn't like they're reaching out to these groups and like

00:09:15.500 they're not all consistent you know like this bashing of the 1994 crime bill which is a very

00:09:21.120 very standard thing now that republicans are doing was something wildly supported by republicans at

00:09:26.880 the time uh you know being tough on crime law it was a law and order bill and now at the same time

00:09:31.920 he's making this case for law and order he's also kind of making the case against the crime bill

00:09:35.440 because biden voted for it it's an interesting thing to try to pull off i think the same thing goes

00:09:40.300 with with you know they did it with gay voters i thought very well when you outline everything

00:09:45.100 that he uh has done and has supported over the years there's a very important uh i think successful

00:09:52.580 outreach to gay voters who would not normally consider a republican well i think you can talk

00:09:56.780 about it because you are the gay character on the show i'm like a character right this was the most

00:10:00.200 important part that you mentioned to me but you know i think the thing is is the the most important

00:10:04.020 thing is is that i don't know anybody who had a part a problem with any of that stuff i don't know

00:10:09.940 a single conservative that this was the true representation of the republican party anybody

00:10:17.260 say hey richard grinnell shouldn't be speaking he's gay no nobody said that the interesting dynamic as a

00:10:24.280 party just as an observer here right is that all the things that he was that grinnell was hitting

00:10:30.800 biden on were things overwhelmingly supported by republicans at the time so but here they were

00:10:38.380 overwhelmed like they were saying like oh well he was really uh you know joe biden was really late

00:10:42.500 to gay marriage okay so wait a minute there's a difference i understand that as an outreach

00:10:46.500 political tactic it isn't interest look the parties are it's different i think you're missing something

00:10:51.920 what you're missing is we weren't talking about gay marriage last night this this convention was not

00:10:58.920 about policies it was about the human and american heart we can disagree on policies but we don't hate

00:11:08.740 each other yeah and that's one thing i think the bar has been set low for trump because of how evil

00:11:14.320 he's treated in the media all the time he's the worst guy ever he's a racist he hates gays he hates

00:11:18.820 jews he hates everybody so just showing that the guy legitimately cares about people and and has empathy

00:11:25.420 for people and has treated people nicely and has people like richard grinnell who he's supposedly

00:11:30.820 supposed to hate who he's been elevated to roles never achieved by any gay person in history in the

00:11:37.840 united states at least out outwardly right um that is an important message i think to get out to people

00:11:43.040 yeah you know there was no way you could walk away if you watch this convention and listened

00:11:49.040 there is no way you could walk away and say that is a racist guy a racist party a gay bashing gay

00:11:57.680 hating you know uh homosexual uh xenophobic party there's no there's no way you could walk away unless you

00:12:05.360 just didn't believe it which by the way a lot of people you know you watch the mainstream media reaction

00:12:09.780 to it and it's just so predictable you know they they were bringing out like you know look yes he says

00:12:14.820 this this this and this but but but look i mean even big reporters were doing it after this i think

00:12:20.120 that particularly the one with grinnell for whatever reason really got under the skin of reporters who

00:12:26.020 don't want to lose you know they don't want to lose that ground they don't want to lose the we're the pro

00:12:29.620 gay party crowd um they don't want to lose the we we're the only ones that african americans are allowed

00:12:35.180 to vote for those sorts of things are really offensive really really under the skin of not just the

00:12:41.740 democrats but the media in general they knew it and that's why they did it oh yeah and they did

00:12:46.060 that's one of the reasons they did it politically effective i think i i love some of the little

00:12:50.900 shots the little poke them with pickle forks things that uh trump did during the speech last night that

00:12:55.720 you know drove them out of their minds oh yeah out of their minds you know one of the things that

00:13:01.540 drove them out of their minds and i just i have no problem as a historian you know of i hate to say

00:13:08.720 that because i know how the press would react to that but i read a lot of history i've i've you know

00:13:14.600 i go to original documents etc etc so as a quasi historian i was i'm bothered by the precedence

00:13:23.500 of the backdrop being the white house this was the first time and i hope it's the last time

00:13:30.220 if it was not the era of the pandemic i would have i would have been screaming bloody murder because

00:13:38.540 i don't like that however with that being said remember this was his third choice as a backdrop

00:13:46.860 yep this is not his first this was his third democratic city said no not here can't have that

00:13:54.180 social all that so he's like okay i'll do it from where i'm living uh you know it was not his first

00:14:02.840 choice it wasn't but then he accentuated it last night just to get under their skin how many times

00:14:08.720 did he point to the white house to show that he's there the time that it was like you talk about a

00:14:13.260 pickle fork it was a giant pickle that he took when he took that fork out and said you know what they

00:14:19.040 said this but hey look where i live yeah i mean it was it was really good

00:14:26.920 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:14:32.980 clarence henderson civil rights activist 1960s woolworth lunch counter sit-in amazing guy and

00:14:56.780 uh i just love him and it's an honor to have you on the phone again clarence how are you

00:15:00.360 good morning glenn long time no see i know i know i have been thinking about you a lot lately

00:15:08.080 um before the gop convention because you actually were part of these protests in the 60s that mattered

00:15:16.040 and i know at the time there was a real a lot of people were angry with martin luther king because

00:15:23.560 he said peace you know we are going to be peaceful take the beating and there were a lot of people that

00:15:29.620 didn't want to do that they wanted to fight back um and look where we are now i mean this is malcolm x

00:15:38.280 if you're if we're lucky what's happening on the street but it's not usually black people it seems

00:15:43.700 to be a bunch of white people saying it they're for black people well you know it's amazing uh glenn

00:15:51.360 because we need to understand that violence begets violence and uh we have a people are talking about

00:15:58.800 systemic racism we have systemic corruption going on in this country and we need to realize and

00:16:05.300 recognize what's going on this uh with all of our imperfections we are the greatest country in the

00:16:12.260 world the light that shines on the hill and i'm hoping that people will reckon with that and find

00:16:17.220 their place in america where they can be successful and help us as a society to be uh that uh place that

00:16:26.220 people can feel like they can come to and have the opportunity that america offers and so what they're

00:16:31.140 doing now is that they're taking away it's not that it's not to tear down it's to build up even if it's

00:16:37.880 buildings or relationships or whatever we're in the words of dr king unless we learn to live together

00:16:43.800 brothers we'll perish together it's food and i am very concerned that people are caught up in these

00:16:50.080 movements and they don't know what kind of movement it is there for me there are two kinds of movements

00:16:54.180 one is the agenda driven movement where we're being oppressed back to king george the third and then

00:16:59.740 there's the uh press book driven movement where we're continually defending our freedom such as your radio

00:17:04.680 show you're continuing to do in there and you get ostracized for it but you continue to go on and we have to do

00:17:09.540 those kinds of things and to stand up for what is right for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren

00:17:13.700 that's coming up behind us so clarence um how do you what would you say to democrats that are listening

00:17:24.740 to and i think they know it in their heart who are listening to the press and to the political leaders

00:17:31.220 saying these are peaceful protests some of them may have been during the day at the beginning i think

00:17:37.240 there were lots of them um but they degenerated and it's it's not even it's i don't think this has

00:17:44.160 anything to do with black people any anymore this is all about revolution and anarchy what do you say

00:17:51.460 to break through to those people that are it is and and what we have to realize is that we are a country

00:17:58.420 of laws uh we have chosen to allow ourselves to be governed by the rule of law and not the rule of man

00:18:05.240 and so therefore when these situations come up we have a judicial system a court system where we

00:18:12.560 bring these things to the forefront and uh let it be decided in a court system not uh and the judicial

00:18:19.280 court system and not the court of public opinion and where we become mob rule and becomes dangerous

00:18:24.500 for everybody uh if we're not careful you have people riding around uh everybody saying i have to

00:18:30.360 take the law into myself because nobody's going to help me for example when you talk about the police

00:18:34.680 uh uh if they're not there then what happens especially in your urban communities where i've

00:18:41.200 lived i lived in uh new york uh back in the 60s uh in holland and uh even at that time when it's

00:18:49.180 different than now you know one of the things that people would do when something came up what do you do

00:18:52.940 you call the police because you got people in this country right now that are apprehensive about coming

00:18:57.120 out of their own house they're not bothering anybody they're not want to participate in

00:19:01.140 any protests anything like that they just want to be left alone but these people here are jumping on

00:19:06.500 old folks whoever gets in their way i was just in uh i'm still in dc right now and i was at the

00:19:13.060 uh president's acceptance speech and i saw uh i didn't see it but i ran paul they were all around him

00:19:19.460 we went in a different direction so we had just got through with having uh acceptance speech not

00:19:25.040 bothering anybody but all of a sudden they want to come in these people want to come in and destroy

00:19:28.920 all these things that we've worked for in this country and it's time it has to stop at this point

00:19:33.700 and i fault the uh powers that be that are not doing anything about it because when when it turns

00:19:40.340 into violence then we there's an order we have to stop that and peaceful protests are one thing

00:19:46.440 but when you uh change it over to violence then uh it has something has to change and so i am

00:19:54.040 continuing going across america talking about what we need to do to because to unite ourselves and not

00:19:59.400 divide ourselves what's the biggest thing we need to do clarence what is the i mean you lived at a time

00:20:08.000 where when you stepped up to that that uh lunch counter in greensboro what were the possibilities

00:20:15.180 of what was going to happen to you did you think at the time the possibilities was i could have come out

00:20:21.560 there in a uh vertical position uh going to jail and handcuffs i could have come out of there in a

00:20:28.040 prone position uh going to the hospital to the morgue and i reflected back on it and that uh the movie is

00:20:34.640 uh braveheart which says every man dies and not every man lives and so the solution for me is that

00:20:41.060 this thing has to be done by we the people and not they the government we cannot continue to allow

00:20:47.120 allow 535 people to tell 320 million plus people what they should or should not do it is based on we

00:20:53.700 uh when thomas jensen said that america is an idea in the minds of men people really don't know what

00:20:58.800 that meant he said that america should always go by the choices that we make and it should be done at

00:21:04.620 the polls of the election let us decide what kind of country we want to live in and we have all these

00:21:10.120 things that people vote for and then we have some elected official or somebody that's appointed

00:21:14.400 that wants to come in and change it but for example the definition of marriage uh in north carolina

00:21:20.320 66 percent of the voters decided it would be based on traditional marriage but some judge i think was

00:21:25.140 up in ashville ashville but it was a case brought before him and he decided it should not be that and

00:21:31.360 so we're in this quagmine where we're in right now so it's we the people have to come back and

00:21:35.540 uh start to have meetings and some of the people are sitting in office right now in the democratic

00:21:40.640 party for example which is so far removed from reality they must be removed and who even is

00:21:45.320 if it's somebody in the republican party the same thing they need to be voted out and have people

00:21:50.360 come in and understand for example i'll take a guy like yourself non-political but you know what's

00:21:55.760 going on in america you would it would be served better by a person like myself or you that really

00:21:59.740 has a handle on what's going on in america and really go and serve the people so we got to find

00:22:04.300 those kind of people to vote into our uh uh elected system and run and uh uh serve this country

00:22:12.880 uh and we have to do a better job of vetting our uh politicians before they get an office

00:22:18.120 because politicians are a dime a dozen but leaders are prices that's what donald trump is for me he's

00:22:23.780 roughly human man but he gets things done and i feel as though we saw the side of donald trump that

00:22:32.520 nobody wants us to see that side that actually privately i mean he can say a lot of things on

00:22:38.980 twitter and say a lot of things in speeches but he obviously cares um and obviously uh has made

00:22:48.000 i mean the alice johnson thing i mean it the things that he's doing you don't do uh unless you actually

00:22:57.100 care you know the way he's handled these things and i thought the gop convention uh showed the

00:23:04.860 republicans or the conservatives uh for who they really are through actions you know there was

00:23:12.000 this was a unbelievable outreach to the african-american community and it wasn't pandering

00:23:17.360 did you feel there was any pandering to anybody at at any time in this convention no i had a check i

00:23:23.980 i gave you an example i had a chance last night to beat vernon johnson uh the guy that's a democrat

00:23:29.780 out of georgia that spoke and said he was going to vote for donald trump uh tremendous guy that his

00:23:35.420 eyes have opened up to see what the the party is doing because uh i was a democrat long and i've been

00:23:41.000 a republican but when my eyes were opened up then i knew the direction i needed to go in so it was

00:23:45.840 total sincere to that people caring about each other wanting to get something done it was such a peaceful

00:23:51.920 situation going on there last night people were standing up cheering it looked like america and i

00:23:57.580 did brought me back to what america is like this this week has shown all all people that saw it on tv

00:24:04.000 i saw it wherever have seen what america looks like and what this country it has been founded on people

00:24:10.100 striving to become successful people looking for the opportunity that america offers to see you see

00:24:16.300 the glenn there is a formula for success in america but most people are concentrating on

00:24:21.740 looking at somebody else comparing rather than competing yeah and the formula is a free market

00:24:26.640 capitalistic system of which uh a lot of democrats have used and now they're talking about socialism

00:24:31.860 you got uh uh uh bernard sanders how do you use money i mean through the free market capitalistic

00:24:37.880 system but he's espousing uh socialism which leads to communism and that's that's not the way that

00:24:44.160 this country works i am so glad to talk to you every time we get a chance to talk um it has been too

00:25:41.620 would be uh absolutely floored uh if uh 10 years later to the day here we are it's amazing how did

00:25:49.460 that affect you well i i mean it was just a culmination of you know watching you and reading

00:25:58.500 you for so many years a lot of the things you know about the founders and really what the left

00:26:04.920 has been trying to instill in so many other americans and trying to do to remake this country

00:26:11.580 uh i learned from watching and reading you and so being able to go to an event like that and be with

00:26:18.660 you know hundreds of thousands of like-minded conservatives and not even conservatives people

00:26:23.560 who just love this country and care about the constitution uh being able to go with my dad

00:26:28.960 and some of his friends and uh how cool i mean it just meant the world to me well curtis thank you

00:26:35.240 very much um uh thanks for going and thanks for remembering it it's um it's it me it's meaningful

00:26:41.800 all right at newsbusters you have been watching the meltdowns of the mainstream media so we want to go

00:26:48.280 over the uh the rnc convention uh and just get some highlights from you on uh how bad was the meltdown

00:26:58.000 and what do you think it was the best meltdown from the uh from the mainstream media well first i'll say

00:27:06.200 that i think going back to what you've been talking about this morning which is what a contrast it this

00:27:13.720 has allowed us you know really between the dnc the media saying this was biden's finest hour he was

00:27:19.900 like a preacher at the pulpit he was optimistic holding a fireside chat whereas in contrast donald trump

00:27:27.460 had no hope no hope uh it was dark and filled with darkness he had harsh attacks it was more of the same

00:27:37.760 uh and he just wants to quote own the libs uh i mean it was really just absolutely incredible

00:27:44.700 but my biggest meltdown was actually from before the whole speech happened msnbc last night

00:27:52.140 you know over the course of two hours leading up to the speech we're actually saying the president

00:27:57.660 quote doesn't care if people quote get killed or sick from the coronavirus by attending this event

00:28:06.060 um i mean it's just i often tell my colleagues about how the media just empty their thesauruses

00:28:12.680 trying to figure figure figure out like how how they can like melt down and describe what they're

00:28:20.000 seeing but really this week they definitely earned it they're getting those pages are well loved

00:28:25.620 do you think curtis that there is a an awakening beyond the uh conservatives and republicans that there is

00:28:34.860 an awakening on the press especially over the last two weeks of like oh my god i mean you're in an

00:28:41.240 alice in wonderland world right and especially because of the fact that the news media are saying

00:28:48.740 what's going on outside on america's streets is not happening right uh they're saying that they're

00:28:56.620 mocking the president for saying that there's anarchy in the streets you know you have you know going

00:29:02.900 back to yeah looking at ferguson what was going on you know this goes to the cnn chyron uh hopefully

00:29:11.240 people saw the fiery but mostly peaceful protests right going on they had to do something they had

00:29:17.560 to do something this is the third time there has been burning cars in the background and they're

00:29:24.200 talking about a peaceful protest so this time they just while they're talking about peaceful protest

00:29:28.580 they just put in the chyron fiery but mostly peaceful i mean i mean this is like not the onion not

00:29:39.660 the babylon b on overdrive like i mean it it is one of those things that you can this can't be real

00:29:47.460 oh yes it's real i saw a great babylon b uh story came out last night that uh babylon b just bought

00:29:54.820 their biggest competitor uh cnn exactly okay so let me go to the hypocrisy um your favorite hypocrisy

00:30:08.780 moment over an rnc speech yeah i and i took a big look at the week and one of my colleagues over at

00:30:18.360 newsbusters has been crunching the numbers about how much time msnbc has been refusing to carry the

00:30:24.460 speech um really after the news media in totality carried about 90 of the dnc uh so let's the first

00:30:33.780 night they skipped 33 minutes uh night 237 minutes night three uh you know with the vice president 50

00:30:42.000 minutes uh and we're looking to 50 minutes and we're looking to be well over that uh cross probably

00:30:49.460 closer to an hour at least uh for tonight once we finish the numbers today and they they just skipped

00:30:55.520 it entirely talked over it correct they talked over it and i think going back to one of your other

00:31:01.800 points from earlier this morning about stories and speakers that humanize the president you know

00:31:07.520 tara meyers talking about her uh son with down syndrome you know caleb mueller's family uh chinese

00:31:14.280 activist chen going chung he all of those speeches were not carried by msnbc and it's very intentional

00:31:21.900 you know with the media sometimes they're kind of uh they stumble into their ways but you know in a lot

00:31:29.060 of these instances they know exactly what they're doing this isn't a case of ignorance with the news media

00:31:34.700 especially uh this past week so how is america going to react to this did do you think enough people

00:31:44.220 that were independent uh or you know democrat by by record but are kind of sick of this do you do you

00:31:53.520 think enough people saw the real message because the real message is most of them did not come from

00:32:00.240 the politicians it came from the real people yeah i think that's such a great point and it's people from

00:32:07.120 all over the country that spoke you really um it covered you know tennessee minnesota everywhere in

00:32:14.440 between uh and then yeah the news media and i absolutely think it is because you're seeing it in

00:32:19.860 the polling you know so you talked about you know black lives matters uh support just cratering uh you

00:32:26.520 have seen it admitting that this is showing up in polling you seeing the governor of oregon saying

00:32:32.280 oh the violence is bad oh my gosh we totally condemn all this uh and now we're people are

00:32:37.300 waking up this morning to see that a u.s senator and his wife uh required a barricade of police officers

00:32:44.340 in their bikes to get them to safety um it's like what happened in the 1960s you know people

00:32:51.280 turned on their televisions and saw what was going on to peaceful protesters uh that were marching and

00:32:57.380 sitting at lunch counters uh and they're seeing what's going on in these cities and they're seeing

00:33:02.320 the emotion of these people that have lost everything and over on the other side you have

00:33:06.380 a news media that's kind of saying well they have insurance you know yeah uh i mean it's just

00:33:12.000 it's because it's not it's not happening to them that there's just no empathy they talk about the

00:33:18.160 president not having empathy oh yeah uh i mean it is an alinskyite you know strategy of projecting onto

00:33:25.560 your opponents kind of where you are yeah curtis hauck uh managing editor of newsbusters uh what a

00:33:33.560 great uh what a great day to talk to you curtis um on the anniversary of 828 thank you so much
