00:00:00.000 Hey, great podcast today. Something you're not going to hear anywhere else. The real news of
00:00:05.580 the day, what we do about it. Also, Dan Bongino is on. Andy Ngo is on. And the leading scholar on
00:00:16.140 the concentration camps, the Holocaust and eugenics. He needs to correct some people like 0.98
00:00:24.840 Jake Tapper, who came out against me and calling me an idiot and an anti-Semite, which I was only
00:00:32.320 quoting Edwin Black. And that's pretty hard to make him into an anti-Semite, seeing that his parents
00:00:38.680 escaped from Treblinka and the death train. And he's Jewish. And I don't think he's a moron.
00:00:47.100 Find out yourself all on today's podcast.
00:00:54.840 Andy Ngo, editor at large, the post-millennial, author, unmasked. And this is the reaction.
00:01:11.440 Play the audio from Antifa in Portland.
00:01:14.380 Okay. The manager came out and said, you're on private property. You can't really be here.
00:01:27.760 Blah, blah, blah. Antifa cares about that. And the bookstore has decided not to sell Andy Ngo's book.
00:01:34.900 I hope we sell a ton of his book right now, unmasked by Andy Ngo. Andy, how are you, sir?
00:01:41.800 I'm doing okay. Thank you for having me on.
00:01:46.240 You have had quite a year.
00:01:50.120 I have. Speaking of 2020 and just even the past 12 days until 2021, I think my heart is really
00:02:02.240 grieving for the United States, seeing all these people now coming out to condemn the political
00:02:10.500 violence that happened at the capitol.
00:02:13.200 Which we all do.
00:02:14.820 Which we all do.
00:02:15.940 And we should. My response is, where the hell were you last year?
00:02:22.380 Yes.
00:02:22.720 When thousands of rioters lay siege to my city, when they tried to burn down federal property,
00:02:30.940 federal courthouse, thousands of them came with explosives.
00:02:33.740 They came with starting fires, electric power tools to cut into the building.
00:02:39.000 I mean, the response at times from those who are crowing the loudest now was at that silence.
00:02:45.460 And in the worst cases, like in the case of Kamala Harris, actually tweeting out links for crowdfunding for bail funds for people accused of really heinous riot crying.
00:02:58.840 I mean, can you imagine if I or you or Rush Limbaugh or anybody came out and said, hey, there's a fund here to help get these guys out of jail?
00:03:10.000 You know, the worst of the worst, the ones that were in with, you know, they were going to arrest Mike Pence.
00:03:16.080 Can you imagine what would happen?
00:03:18.000 Well, I mean, we we don't even have to, like, really speculate.
00:03:23.780 You can see that the big tech mobilizes to work with a file to silence people.
00:03:29.000 And that's why disgrace New York Times reporter Sarah John has been calling for me to be permanently banned from Twitter. 0.84
00:03:38.320 They feel really empowered by Trump being silenced everywhere.
00:03:42.020 And see for extremists feel empowered to attack Portland's largest bookstore for the past two days.
00:03:49.340 They actually forced the bookstore to shut down in downtown because they're coming in and making all these demands that they're not doing enough to ban my book.
00:03:58.700 It's not enough that the store has already acquiesced and said they're not going to stock it on shelves.
00:04:05.680 The people don't want it on the online catalog either.
00:04:08.380 Anyway, Andy, first of all, let's talk about your book, because I want to give you the time to sell as many copies as possible.
00:04:19.500 So tell me about the book first, and then I want to talk to you about what do we do?
00:04:24.420 So let's talk about the book first.
00:04:27.220 Unmouthed is the the what I've been working on now to try to uncover what is this violence extremist movement?
00:04:38.380 We use various names, most commonly Antifa, some of them are more deceptive being used and call themselves other things.
00:04:46.620 But with all of them have the stated agenda and goal of destabilizing the republic and actually overthrowing it, if you look at their literature.
00:04:56.120 And what was really shocking and fascinating and watching a real time, particularly living in Portland and also going up to Seattle, was how they were actually able at times to claim territory as sovereign territory separate from the United States.
00:05:13.040 And that the local governments actually allowed them to do that and in many ways facilitated the means for that to happen.
00:05:20.440 In the case of Seattle, that Chas, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone led to multiple homicides, shootings, Portland also had an autonomous zone that was set up. 0.98
00:05:29.740 Over and over, we're seeing the same variables that have allowed for this movement to become a phenomenon, a growing one, ascendant one.
00:05:38.780 These variables are remaining, even with the incoming administration.
00:05:42.300 And just with, we're early into 2021, but we can see, actually, they seem quite empowered.
00:05:49.380 We've had now four riots in Portland since New Year's Eve alone.
00:05:54.100 We had a riot on the same day that the Capitol Hill riot happened, and that received no attention when these extremists were using many of the same tactics, trying to break into government property.
00:06:04.960 And, I mean, it's, the book is revealing sort of this whole apparatus and how it works and how they're so effective.
00:06:14.000 And it helps to dispel some of these myths, like thinking that there's one big person on top pulling the lever or that they are funded by rich billionaires.
00:06:25.720 It's not.
00:06:26.400 Actually, they're organizing and funding and sources of money laundering. 0.84
00:06:30.600 And it's happening in plain sight with the aid of big tech, and they do it openly on platforms like Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, and they face really no bandings at all.
00:06:44.440 We're talking to Andy, no, the book that you need to buy, do not buy a digital copy, buy a hardbound copy.
00:06:51.240 It's called Unmasked Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.
00:06:56.360 It has to bother you that the word sedition and revolutionary or anti-government is being thrown around by people who, I do believe, committed sedition last Wednesday.
00:07:17.940 They were trying to topple the organized government and take things into their own hands.
00:07:25.580 But Antifa has a very long record.
00:07:29.880 I mean, it is in their own manifestos that, I mean, they took to the streets and declared sovereign property, as you just said, away from the United States.
00:07:40.540 It must sincerely bother you that no one is willing to call them seditious on the left and in the media and in Washington.
00:07:51.380 Well, not only are they not willing to call them seditious, they'll actually will praise them, lavish praise on them, actually.
00:07:57.560 And even those, and they protect them, actually.
00:08:03.080 And one of the reasons why Antifa and Portland have been working overdrive to try to get my book banned into threatened businesses that would sell it is because I've been very systematic in chronicling the arrests that have happened in Portland.
00:08:17.140 Fortunately, it's still accessible as a public record, but the mugshots that have been releasing, the charges, the names, over 90% of them get charged.
00:08:26.320 Excuse me, over 90% of them get the charges dropped.
00:08:30.140 This is a corrupt system we have in Portland, and the local media doesn't release the names and photos of those accused of these crimes.
00:08:39.160 Whereas, you know, you look at the disparate treatment of those who were on Capitol Hill.
00:08:48.020 They're going after no-fly lists now, which, why can't, if you're going to do that, you have to do that for Antifa.
00:08:55.680 But they won't. They won't.
00:08:58.400 Andy, the mayor of Portland came out, I think a week or two ago, and said,
00:09:05.860 enough is enough, and we've got to get tough on Antifa.
00:09:09.500 I don't even know if he's sincere in that or what, but what I really think that the people at Antifa, they think that they are in charge and running things.
00:09:20.640 But I truly believe the Democrats are going to treat them eventually like Hitler did the SD or the SA.
00:09:30.480 They were marching in the streets.
00:09:32.160 They were brutalizing people.
00:09:33.480 They were the thugs that got things to be pushed through the chaos on the streets.
00:09:39.200 And when their job was no longer useful, he killed them all.
00:09:44.660 So I think the Democrats are playing a dangerous game in that they don't really realize what people they're embracing indirectly as allies.
00:09:55.860 I think in the case of, so let's look at Portland and Seattle, the Portland mayor, the Seattle mayor viewed, well, yes, Antifa is radical, but they're rioting in the name of racial justice and social justice.
00:10:13.620 So, therefore, let's give them a bit of space to do that, and, well, they flexed their hand, and they actually claimed territory and caused people to actually die.
00:10:24.580 In the case of Portland, the mayor is coming out of a little bit harsher now, but let's not forget that since he came into office at the beginning of 2017, it was under his watch that this movement exploded in Portland, that this movement turned Portland into the epicenter of American far-left violence.
00:10:42.420 So, I guess, so I guess four years late is better later than ever, maybe, but, I mean, they, you know, they didn't think about anybody else because he's not ceding everything to them.
00:10:56.680 And, actually, he was assaulted last week when he was dining in a restaurant, so they're going after him eventually.
00:11:02.160 So, yeah, this is the game that the mainstream Democrats are playing with, and they have had a convenient excuse in sharing, having a shared enemy in the Trump administration, but those days are limited now.
00:11:20.080 And I can promise that the violence that we saw in 40-20 will continue, and it takes a very, very small spot for us to see more interactions like we saw last year, because all the other underlying variables have still there.
00:11:35.860 We're talking to Andy Ngo in his upcoming book called Unmasked. I urge you to get it.
00:11:44.660 I've got about a minute and a half left for an answer to this question, Andy.
00:11:51.040 But there are a lot of people that will listen to you or to me or others, and they're all like, I know the problem.
00:11:57.240 I know how big it is, and they can see what's coming their way.
00:12:02.000 And that's, I think, one of the reasons, and there are many reasons, but no excuses for violence.
00:12:09.000 But people feel like they are being backed in a corner, and they have nothing else to do, which is incorrect.
00:12:15.580 But what do you suggest?
00:12:18.240 What do you, I think any kind of violence is giving the left exactly what they want.
00:12:24.000 But what can people do?
00:12:26.540 You know, this is a question I've been wrestling with myself in the course of writing this book and just sort of watching helplessly as my city was burnt and other American cities were burnt to the ground.
00:12:42.360 And I'm not sure if I have an answer for that, sadly.
00:12:47.900 I was and remain a very strong believer in American institutions.
00:12:53.820 But when you're looking at how, let's say, at local levels, how corrupt things can be that allow violence to, political violence to so plainly operate,
00:13:05.640 and people who law enforcement actually apprehend are getting their charges immediately dropped just as a matter of policy.
00:13:13.660 And it's not just unique to Portland that you see that.
00:13:15.800 You see that in Seattle, in San Francisco, and other.
00:13:18.940 A lot of these places, this is where the prosecutors have been getting their support from George Soros.
00:13:30.260 That's where he puts his money, where the people that are.
00:13:32.960 Yeah.
00:13:34.420 So I guess I would just say that, you know, conservatives, freedom lovers, we need to get better at organizing.
00:13:42.760 And my criticism is not so much at the grassroots level.
00:13:45.880 It comes from conservatives who are in positions of power, who are so afraid of how the media will treat them that they will do,
00:13:56.840 they will throw their constituents under the bus for just to have a nice headline, for example, I think.
00:14:08.840 But I'm afraid that there are dark days ahead with the country.
00:14:13.800 I fear those two.
00:14:15.400 Thank you so much, Andy.
00:14:16.720 No, again, the name of his book that that everybody should should get, especially since the left really doesn't want you to.
00:14:26.520 They don't even want it to be printed.
00:14:28.220 It's called Unmasked Unmasked.
00:14:30.880 And it is all about what's really happening with Antifa.
00:14:35.420 And please support Andy.
00:14:37.520 You can follow him at Mr. Andy.
00:14:40.040 No, that's N-G-O. 1.00
00:14:42.380 I think he should be a Bond villain.
00:14:44.340 I mean, it's just so great.
00:14:45.520 Mr. Andy, no.
00:14:49.380 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:52.140 Last night, I was on Tucker Carlson, and I said this.
00:15:06.540 Can't have freedom of speech if you can't have if you can't express yourself in a meaningful place.
00:15:15.400 This is this is like the Germans with the Jews behind the wall. 0.90
00:15:19.480 They would put them in the ghetto.
00:15:20.980 Well, this is the digital ghetto.
00:15:23.980 You can talk all you want.
00:15:25.660 Jews, you do whatever you want behind the wall. 0.92
00:15:28.400 Well, that's not meaningful.
00:15:30.440 And that's where we are.
00:15:32.000 That's where millions of Americans will be.
00:15:35.680 So last night, boy, the American Jewish Committee, the AJC,
00:15:43.100 the constant weaponization of history's darkest chapter is deeply offensive
00:15:46.840 and an affront to the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.
00:15:49.640 There is no comparison between big tech companies enforcing their community standards
00:15:54.840 and the Holocaust, period, none, period.
00:15:58.600 Apologize, Glenn Beck.
00:15:59.900 I had Jake Tapper said that you're either a moron or an anti-Semite there that anyone who would believe what I said about the digital ghetto and talk about ghettoization is a moron or an anti-Semite.
00:16:17.040 Well, I wanted to get the guy who actually coined the term.
00:16:21.660 He said digital ghettoization.
00:16:25.000 I think it's the same thing, but his name is Edwin Black.
00:16:29.200 He was on with me yesterday.
00:16:30.400 He is he has been nominated for a Nobel Prize or his name submitted for a Nobel Prize, a Pulitzer Prize, 11 times, 11 times.
00:16:41.440 I don't think he's a moron.
00:16:44.520 I don't think he's an anti-Semite.
00:16:47.100 I want to make sure I'm in line with the man I think is one of the greatest Holocaust historians alive today.
00:16:57.260 Welcome to the program, Edwin Black.
00:17:00.000 And thank you for having me, Glenn.
00:17:01.880 So, Edwin, I want to make sure because, I mean, I think you know me well enough to know how I feel about the Holocaust and Israel and Jews.
00:17:15.720 I mean, I've won the Defender of Israel Award from Sheldon Adelson.
00:17:20.240 It was presented to me by Sheldon and Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:17:26.960 I mean, I'm serious about these issues.
00:17:30.300 Am I wrong?
00:17:31.160 Did I say something out of context here?
00:17:35.420 No, you didn't say anything wrong.
00:17:37.880 And I think that the criticism you've received is quite ill, ill, ill-advised.
00:17:45.560 I think it's a measure of our times, not a measure of the accuracy of the claim.
00:17:52.260 So here's why you use the word digital ghetto.
00:17:57.000 It's because I coined the term digital ghetto and algorithm ghetto.
00:18:03.720 And I did that in 2018 as the keynote speaker for Holocaust Day, of the official Governor Holocaust Day, speaking in the rotunda of the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing.
00:18:20.580 And I summarized my remarks, including the algorithm and ghetto and the digital ghetto for an editorial, which ran in the Times of Israel and about 30 other papers and history network news.
00:18:35.380 And I was concerned, and I remain even more concerned, that the activities of the oligarchs of digital control are, in fact, trying to shunt us into digital ghettos.
00:18:55.480 Now, I should mention that a ghetto, even though my parents are Holocaust survivors and they used to think it was a Polish word, is actually an Italian word, a Jewish Italian word, which originates from the 16th century from one of the first named ghettos.
00:19:15.220 And that was in Venice. And that was in Venice. And the word comes from, it is argued by many that the word may come from the Jewish or Hebrew word get, which is a divorce.
00:19:29.540 But it also means being put aside from or separated from during the 19th century, the ghettos became much, much worse. 0.88
00:19:39.740 And during the Holocaust, they became the first step along the way toward annihilation for the Jews.
00:19:50.220 This, of course, this, of course, was facilitated by IBM in its 12 year alliance with the Nazis, which I wrote about in IBM and the Holocaust.
00:20:01.420 Several years ago, after when I was writing my book, War Against the Week, about eugenics and genetics,
00:20:10.600 the word was coined genetic ghetto and was used largely by Hadassah and many others who were seeking legislation that would not permit people to take testing of individuals of their genetic background for the purpose of denying them a denying them employment, credit, access to housing, etc.
00:20:39.220 And I believe the genetic ghetto was one of the earliest modernizations of this terrible place, ghetto. 0.98
00:20:49.260 And of course, my parents were in a ghetto.
00:20:52.060 You use this term because that's exactly what I've observed and what many people have observed.
00:20:59.060 I think that there was nothing historic about the criticism involving history in the criticism that you received.
00:21:10.320 I think this is just another byproduct of anything that anyone says is being transmogrified and weaponized against them.
00:21:21.460 I am very concerned about the breach of the concept that you do not use Hitler as a criticism, even though numerous leading Holocaust historians have called Trump a Hitler.
00:21:38.300 And I don't like that.
00:21:39.380 I have to tell you, we can use Nazis, we can use concentration camps, we can use stormtroopers, we can use Trump, you know, or Hitler to describe the Trump administration, but you can't ever do it.
00:21:55.540 It is so important to me, Edwin, that we, you know, the phrase never forget doesn't mean don't forget what they did.
00:22:09.060 It means don't forget how we got to the showers.
00:22:13.080 And it's the seeds, unless you pull those weeds up early and you recognize them, no matter which side.
00:22:22.520 I mean, I would be saying this if the Republicans owned Facebook and Google and they were in bed with the government and they were silencing people.
00:22:32.900 I would be saying exactly the same thing.
00:22:36.780 These are the seeds, the weeds that start to spread up.
00:22:40.240 And if you don't cut them off early, it's too late.
00:22:44.460 Am I wrong?
00:22:45.780 Well, I, of course, have seen the misuse of this term by so many of Holocaust terms.
00:22:54.040 I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger the other day call, make reference to a Kristallnacht.
00:23:02.140 Yes.
00:23:02.400 Which is something I studied in 1938, which involved the murder and imprisonment and burning of many thousand Jewish lives and institutions.
00:23:15.620 And also had the the the army and the police standing by doing nothing, doing nothing.
00:23:25.940 Yes. Yes, because this was one of the best manifestations, Kristallnacht, of the of the authorities becoming part of the affliction in the worst way.
00:23:39.460 Naturally, that started on January 30th, 1933.
00:23:42.900 Everybody needs to take a breath.
00:23:44.880 When we are talking about a digital ghetto, that's exactly what we're talking about.
00:23:50.920 We're talking about people who wish to silence you.
00:23:54.160 We're talking about people who wish to marginalize others.
00:23:57.640 We're talking about corporations that are trying to follow the the most awesome steps of marginalization.
00:24:12.640 You know, and once again, we're only talking about this for the digital means.
00:24:16.840 It was IBM that made it possible for Hitler to perpetrate the Nazis. 0.68
00:24:23.120 That does not mean that this is a Nazi regime where we're or Twitter is part of a Nazi regime.
00:24:31.780 But what it does mean is that high tech was involved in the worst crime in the history of humanity.
00:24:42.160 I've heard people talk about, well, these are private companies.
00:24:46.360 Google is a private company.
00:24:48.500 Twitter is a private company.
00:24:50.360 They're not private companies.
00:24:52.340 They're public companies.
00:24:54.680 And they are owned by all of us.
00:24:57.300 And there's a public interest in these companies abiding by the by the law.
00:25:03.180 And I believe it was Marsh versus Alabama.
00:25:07.760 Am I wrong in about 1946?
00:25:11.040 Yep.
00:25:11.560 The private companies.
00:25:12.700 I talked about that last night.
00:25:14.260 Yep.
00:25:15.460 That stated that a private company cannot engage in illegal activity or improper activity, regardless of its terms and conditions.
00:25:29.620 When it comes to the private ownership versus the Constitution, the Constitution always must remain supreme.
00:25:39.540 Edwin, we'll have you on again.
00:25:42.200 I'm sorry if I said something out of turn last night.
00:25:46.700 I don't think I did.
00:25:48.300 You didn't say anything out of turn.
00:25:49.980 The out of turn is from my friends, and they know who they are.
00:25:55.980 Tone down the rhetoric.
00:25:58.400 Tone down the rhetoric.
00:25:59.620 If you have a problem, give me a call.
00:26:02.100 You know who you are, and you know who I am.
00:26:05.480 Keep the Holocaust out of this. 1.00
00:26:07.120 But we need to look at the steps, and we need to understand that right now, people are following the step of identification, exclusion, and confiscation.
00:26:21.260 Jeez.
00:26:21.900 And that's...
00:26:22.720 Those are bad things.
00:26:24.040 That is where we want it to stop.
00:26:27.560 The purpose of the historian is to look ahead and over the horizon based on what he has seen come before.
00:26:36.160 That's why we are here.
00:26:38.160 So thank you very much.
00:26:39.700 Thank you.
00:26:40.440 God bless you.
00:26:44.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:26:46.760 I have done everything I can, as much as I possibly can, to teach you about Martin Luther King and nonviolent protests.
00:27:11.560 And I don't think there's anybody in the media who has talked about nonviolence longer and more in-depth on commercial airwaves than me.
00:27:23.440 Could be wrong.
00:27:25.120 But I bet you almost in American history that might even be...
00:27:29.500 That it might even stand up to be true.
00:27:31.560 Preachers, certainly.
00:27:33.540 But commercial airwaves, I don't think anybody has.
00:27:36.740 Now I think many are beginning to understand why I tried to lay that foundation.
00:27:46.640 I have told you since September 11th, I have this feeling that you are going to be the group of people that will, in the end, save the Republic.
00:27:57.080 I've always believed that.
00:27:58.600 I don't know how it is saved.
00:28:00.940 It might just be preserved in our hearts and in sections.
00:28:04.420 I don't know.
00:28:06.740 But I believe it now.
00:28:09.280 I never wanted us to get to this.
00:28:13.280 I mean, everything I've done is to prevent us from getting here.
00:28:16.200 But everybody is so politically tied to their side that no one will let their shields down and actually listen to one another.
00:28:24.920 And we're at that desperate point now.
00:28:27.140 You are equipped to save the Republic because you at least hopefully have a fundamental understanding of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and you understand at least a basic understanding of American history.
00:28:46.400 More importantly, what makes this audience so phenomenal is that it is the most generous and service-minded audience of any show in America and perhaps the world.
00:29:02.260 That's part of what continues to be so frustrating about the Capitol invasion last week.
00:29:10.260 Because you're being maligned.
00:29:13.380 You, I know who you are.
00:29:16.720 This is the most peaceful, generous, loving, God-fearing, authentic, patriotic audience in America.
00:29:25.760 And you are frustrated and you are tired of being hit in the face and called bigot and everything else, no matter what you do.
00:29:32.080 I know, I know, I know, I've been called an anti-Semite just in the last 24 hours by everybody, unjustly.
00:29:43.840 I get it.
00:29:46.380 You are now being tainted by the actions of complete imbeciles who do not represent you and I.
00:29:54.420 It's not fair, but that's the hand that we're being dealt.
00:29:57.820 And God's in charge.
00:30:00.000 He is not surprised.
00:30:03.080 We know the left's current tactics fail in the long run.
00:30:08.120 Silencing, canceling, taking away rights.
00:30:11.700 These are the hallmarks of regime after regime after Marxist regime on the ash heaps of history.
00:30:20.040 Now, China is still there because they have taken the so-called free market, which is not free.
00:30:26.000 They took the capitalist system and they combined it with their Marxist utopia.
00:30:32.740 And I don't know what's going to happen to the people over there, especially seeing that our high tech has joined them to weed out the dissidents.
00:30:41.940 It's not inevitable that we join them and it is going to require us to take a stand.
00:30:51.100 Just not in the way that most people, especially if they're angry, think is most effective.
00:30:57.740 Look at the ratings of BLM.
00:31:02.420 78% of Americans at the beginning of the summer thought that they were swell.
00:31:07.640 That number is in the low 20s now.
00:31:11.680 Why?
00:31:12.100 Because violence doesn't work.
00:31:13.940 I don't know if you saw The Fellowship of the Ring, but do you remember if you did when Frodo says, I don't want to do this.
00:31:28.660 He's lamenting having to face down the evil and he's just one guy.
00:31:34.360 I'll never forget, because it was right after 9-11 that that movie came out, I'll never forget Gandalf's reply.
00:31:45.220 Gandalf said, so do we all who live to see such times.
00:31:49.480 But that is not for them to decide.
00:31:52.840 All we have to decide is what we are going to do with the time that is given us.
00:32:02.220 We can't decide what others are going to do.
00:32:04.980 We can't control the dangerous Orwellian darkness that seems to be descending on America.
00:32:11.340 All we can control, read Man's Search for Meaning, is our response and strive to lead by example.
00:32:25.040 And by the way, if you know anyone in your sphere of influence who might be planning to attend one of these armed rallies in the coming days,
00:32:33.280 beg them not to go.
00:32:35.640 Do everything you can to stop them.
00:32:38.260 That is not the way to take a stand.
00:32:40.860 It does not protect anything that you hold dear.
00:32:43.680 It will endanger the Republic.
00:32:46.180 It is what the other side wants.
00:32:48.780 Darkness.
00:32:50.200 Watch Star Wars.
00:32:52.420 Yes, give in.
00:32:55.780 Embrace your hatred.
00:32:57.340 Don't do it.
00:33:00.900 But, Glenn, how do we take a stand?
00:33:04.420 First thing I need you to do today.
00:33:06.160 Help lower the temperature.
00:33:09.220 Next week and beyond.
00:33:10.520 It has been so hard for me not to respond to people on Twitter today who have called me every name under the sun because I quoted the leading Holocaust historian last night on Tucker Carlson.
00:33:26.680 But, see, that wasn't an attack on me.
00:33:28.120 That was an attack on Tucker.
00:33:29.640 If you can scare the guests from coming on to Tucker, you destroy Tucker.
00:33:34.640 That's what they're doing.
00:33:35.460 That wasn't an attack on me.
00:33:36.780 That was an attack on him.
00:33:38.160 Do not vent your anger on social media.
00:33:42.260 At this point, it is probably just going to get your account shut down.
00:33:46.800 I want you to write this down.
00:33:49.760 I want you to keep this in front of you.
00:33:51.580 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
00:33:59.540 That means something today.
00:34:02.980 Much more than it did six months ago.
00:34:06.920 Blessed be the peacemakers.
00:34:09.520 Be a peacemaker.
00:34:10.960 You have to stay plugged in, and this is the hard part.
00:34:17.140 You can't disconnect because things are moving too rapidly.
00:34:21.160 You must stay plugged in.
00:34:23.140 But I want you to reach out to someone in kindness on social media.
00:34:29.900 Encourage someone.
00:34:31.360 Do not engage with the darkness.
00:34:33.440 Be the light in the corner of your world instead.
00:34:38.060 You need to be a leader for what is to come.
00:34:40.660 And I know I'm asking you almost the impossible.
00:34:45.420 I know you are angry and frustrated, and it is gut-wrenching to feel like you're powerless
00:34:50.660 to stop your nation from what you believe is sliding into the abyss.
00:34:55.380 And I believe it too, with everything in me.
00:34:57.300 I wish I was wrong.
00:34:59.920 I hope that I am.
00:35:01.420 I pray that I am.
00:35:02.460 But know this.
00:35:05.520 You are not powerless.
00:35:08.800 You are not voiceless.
00:35:11.460 You may be the voice, the only voice, that anyone hears.
00:35:19.020 Voices like mine will go away.
00:35:23.540 I am trying to think of what I need to share with you.
00:35:30.780 Before, and God forbid, if that ever happens.
00:35:35.560 Because I cannot live with myself if I was talking about something stupid politically.
00:35:42.100 And I find my voice silenced.
00:35:44.160 And then saying, I wish I would have said this.
00:35:46.840 I wish I would have told them this.
00:35:49.680 You wield more power than you know.
00:35:52.460 Not because of your vote or being able to call your congressman.
00:35:55.780 You're more powerful than you know.
00:35:59.160 Because you understand the real problem in America.
00:36:03.120 The real problem in America is not political.
00:36:07.280 It is spiritual.
00:36:10.060 And until we are humbled.
00:36:13.240 When you get angry and you're like, I'm going to take this into my own.
00:36:16.520 You are not being humble.
00:36:18.960 You think you'll fix it.
00:36:25.100 Everything is happening to us because we are an arrogant, out of control people.
00:36:31.460 We must humble ourselves.
00:36:35.620 Please.
00:36:36.180 You have the skill and the strength to endure the fiery darts that are going to come your way or already are.
00:36:46.540 But this is a problem with our heart.
00:36:49.120 You cannot reach someone's head without capturing their heart.
00:36:53.720 And no one is going to capture anybody's heart through violence.
00:36:56.740 Start in your own home.
00:37:00.960 And then reach out.
00:37:02.320 And if you're able, serve your neighbor.
00:37:05.040 If you can, serve your local community.
00:37:08.560 You must be a beacon of light in a very dark place.
00:37:13.560 Na na na na.
