On this episode of the Glenn Beck Radio Program, Glenn is joined by Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, to talk about the President's decision to stay inside the White House bunker. Also, Elijah Schaefer talks with Glenn about some of the groups he s seeing out on the streets during the riots, and finally, we have Sheriff Grady Judd from Polk County talking about his press conference that went viral.
00:10:21.560Can you talk a little bit about Obamagate and, you know, what we're probably not going to even care about at the end of this summer that we should care about?
00:10:32.500I think I said on your show, a video, I'm pretty sure because the thing went nuclear like fire.
00:10:40.460This has to be maybe eight, nine years ago.
00:10:42.920I'm almost positive it was your show where I warned that the problem with the Obama administration was he was surrounded by sycophants who wouldn't tell him what he couldn't do.
00:10:52.760And when you combine that and you may say and listen, to be fair here, every administration has sycophants.
00:10:59.620You may say even even the administration now, everyone does.
00:11:02.420The problem with the Obama administration, I think the warning I gave on your show is when you combine that with this toxic Stu Glenn of media permissibility, where the media, in contrast, with Obama, everything he did was OK.
00:11:14.300You invite a Lord Acton scenario where power corrupts and what do they say?
00:11:22.100You have a bad guy, Obama, with a way I think bad motivations, who had no control mechanism.
00:11:27.840There was no choke points for his behavior.
00:11:30.200And Obamagate at the end, I had left the Secret Service by the time Obamacate was happening.
00:11:35.020But from my sources and the books I wrote about it, who were feeding me information about what happened, my FBI guys, it is the biggest scandal in American history.
00:11:43.620And it's a direct result of the media refusing to call out the president of the United States, refusing and weaponizing the powers at his discretion.
00:11:51.760It was a shame what he did is disgraceful.
00:11:55.620So is there a possibility that it is the same deep state that is supporting?
00:12:01.600I mean, I look at, you know, George Soros and the State Department and the the riots going all the way back to the Arab Spring that they helped produce and topple different governments.
00:12:15.680This is taking the same kind of course.
00:12:18.700Is is there a chance that the deep state is involved in this at all?
00:12:56.940I mean, I'm not getting these media matters lunatics.
00:12:59.320I actually have the document and a money trail showing that the same people, Glenn, in this deep state that the left says doesn't exist involved in the spy gate thing and the advancement of false narratives emanating from Ukraine and elsewhere.
00:13:13.100Trump's a spy, including with the Russians, you know, he's from the Goldfinger James Bond movies.
00:14:47.500And when you were up with it with Antifa and you were you were watching them beat people, et cetera, et cetera.
00:14:54.880You told me at the time, Elijah, that the police would just mysteriously disappear.
00:15:00.020That's because the police chief and the mayor are are for Antifa seemingly.
00:15:09.000Are you seeing a difference between other protests and, for instance, the Dallas police as opposed to the the Portland police?
00:15:20.860Yeah, I think one interesting aspect and I could be correct if I'm wrong.
00:15:28.100But, Andy, you know, a journalist has talked to me about how, like, the mayor of Portland similarly is the police commissioner.
00:15:35.000And so some of these mayors have an uncanny amount of power and influence, as we just heard, over the police department,
00:15:42.020whether indirectly by directing anger from their populace towards them and misrepresenting them or directly by telling them that they can they need to stand down and not do their jobs.
00:15:51.840But I have absolutely watched not not where that police were overrun in cities like Portland over the years.
00:15:59.400I watched as they've just begun to gain control on while I don't have a radio.
00:16:04.900I watched them answer calls, get back on their trucks, in their cars and leave and watch the protests and riots turn violent.
00:16:12.900And the vandalism increase when they had the opportunity to stop it in its tracks.
00:16:21.840So what is your take on this, Elijah, as you've watched these guys?
00:16:27.460I mean, it's really important for top down, bottom up, inside out.
00:16:31.460That theory that I've been, you know, explaining for the last 15 years that you've got to have people in power.
00:16:39.880This is the way they flip countries to be communist.
00:16:43.480You have to have people who are communist in power, but they don't necessarily say they are.
00:16:49.140But they have enough control to where they can move the system.
00:16:54.820You have to control the attorney generals and the prosecutors.
00:16:57.860We know that George Soros has been doing that for a while now.
00:17:02.180And you have to have these uprisings in the streets.
00:17:05.260No one prosecuted, no one paying any price until the until the people just stand up and they say to the federal government, help us, help us.
00:17:30.100And I think what's really important for your listeners to understand is that I have been documenting groups like Revcom, Revolutionary Now, in Los Angeles, for years.
00:17:56.360Oh, why do you pay attention to this group?
00:17:58.160Why do you pay attention to that group?
00:17:59.460And I go, because they are literally calling for an attack on our country, internalizing it and calling for violence in our streets.
00:18:06.880And I take people seriously that call for threats of violence in our streets.
00:18:11.120Well, it looks like, you know, it looks like they're not laughing anymore because groups like that are working tirelessly in large cities like Los Angeles to wreak havoc.
00:18:19.540And they're getting at least the first taste of the revolution.
00:18:22.080And if we've seen this escalation in just the last couple of years where the media laughed at me, mocked me, called me a propagandist for saying that these were viable threats.
00:18:33.280They're saying, oh, actually, these people are burning down our cities.
00:18:37.120I wonder if the next step, as we're seeing in the protests last night and riots, that violence in just three days have escalated.
00:18:43.940So we went from two years to three days.
00:18:46.080Who knows what's going to happen in the next 24 hours?
00:18:48.200So tell me what you know about the the brick situation, because I've heard two stories on this and we're close to some some information that I hope to be releasing this week.
00:19:02.200But at this point, until I have that information, I, I, I don't know if it's just a coincidence.
00:19:12.600And, you know, Antifa happens to know where the construction site is.
00:19:18.220And so they they say, hey, everybody meet here.
00:19:20.480But I've I've I've been around a while now, and most construction sites are fenced off.
00:19:26.920So you can't go steal a pallet of bricks, which is a lot of money.
00:19:32.320But these these organizers are meeting at places where there's these these pallets of bricks and they appear to be part of a construction site.
00:19:51.120And I want to make sure I only speak to what I know here so that we don't conjecture.
00:19:55.860I went ahead and spoke to somebody who worked in bricklaying for quite some time.
00:20:00.720And they confirmed with me that construction sites do not leave bricks out, that they're a commodity that is often stolen.
00:20:07.980They're also completely sealed, often with wired bars when they're left that continue to keep the package in place after it's brought off of a flatbed.
00:20:16.480But, you know, Glenn, that night when I made the claim that it was organized, that people were leading people to pallets of bricks, you know, I was mocked online and ridiculed as if maybe just maybe I wasn't trying to start a conspiracy.
00:20:29.160Maybe I was myself shocked to realize that somebody was looking to increase the violence and the vandalism.
00:20:38.720And I saw pallets of bricks in places where there was not construction.
00:20:41.980And I uploaded video footage of even protesters acknowledging in filming like, oh, this is so fishy.
00:20:48.820I see this is not construction around here.
00:20:52.620And there is footage right now online.
00:20:54.260Your audience can can look it up of right near protests, flatbeds of trucks just coming and just dropping off pallets of bricks the day of the protest while there's caught cars all around.
00:21:05.620And that's what's most suspicious to me.
00:21:08.540Cars are there while a flatbed truck goes into a parking lot right next to the protest and drops off two giant pallets of bricks into the middle of a parking lot.
00:21:17.200I mean, if that doesn't breathe suspicion in the in the eyes of any smart, intelligent American of why bricks are being dropped off in an inner city in front of officers while a riot is ensuing, then I don't know what would.
00:21:30.600I wonder if the teamsters could answer that question.
00:21:36.020Teamsters would know who those truck drivers are.
00:21:39.200Teamsters would know what what the usual is.
00:21:42.940I wonder if they would answer that question.
00:21:48.680I absolutely implore anyone with information, whether you work in construction or you have background to try to bring some clarity to the national conversation.
00:21:56.940And that's why, for the first time, I think Americans are not only realizing that it's up to them to protect themselves, whether it's, you know, from from deadly force that seems to be escalating, where police cannot help them.
00:22:09.460You know, one pretty liberal individual on Twitter said that he called the police because of an altercation between rioters and his neighbor.
00:22:17.300And the police said the city is under attack.
00:22:25.360And yes, this is America in a good and a bad way, in a bad way, because we're seeing our own governments that have been falling apart for years, unable to protect us.
00:22:35.220But on a good way, because America has always been by the people and for the people.
00:22:40.220And right now, not only physically, but information wise, you cannot trust the media and we need you to help.
00:22:45.840So if anyone knows and has information, please contact myself, Elijah Schaefer online or this program and help us bring bring to light the evidence that the the deception of people who are trying to pretend like this is all just random.
00:22:59.420And somehow every city in America is just burning accidentally at the exact same time.
00:23:06.500Elijah, how is how do you think Trump is being viewed by the average American and the Trump supporter?
00:23:13.700Because I have heard many Trump supporters saying he's being weak.
00:23:29.480You know, Glenn, I have been a very, very big supporter of the president of the United States since early on, since I saw him continue and completely ignore the advice of so-called, quote unquote, wise counselors.
00:23:48.360And instead, speak to the heart of the American worker and people and just act like a run of the mill man who doesn't take any crud from people.
00:23:58.120You know, I I don't think any leader just like George Bush during 9-11 really could fully understand how to respond to this because he's in a he's in a very precarious situation.
00:24:08.600Everyone already calls him racist and fascist and, you know, compares him to, you know, to Adolf Hitler.
00:24:15.360And so essentially, no matter what he does in the situation, I know as a man, you wouldn't you you're going to be labeled in a very negative light.
00:24:24.660If you're tough on the violence, then you're racist.
00:24:28.520But I think everyone needs to give him a little bit of time.
00:24:31.140I do think that his speech was about three days too late that he gave, but it was warmly welcomed in my understanding.
00:24:38.540And I would hope that as he speaks and says that, you know, that America is a country of the rule of law, that he would completely stand behind that and that he would set an example on a precedent.
00:24:50.000But weakness is not the right word, but maybe just a little bit delayed.
00:24:53.820And perhaps just perhaps that could be because of bad counsel from people like Jared Kushner.
00:26:57.240And certainly I want to continue serving the people of Polk County and keeping them safe and supporting them while they do the right thing.
00:27:05.460So, Grady, did you see something in your county that disturbed you, or is this just what's happening all around the country?
00:27:20.880And they've been saying they're coming to the suburbs.
00:27:23.420So you were just making sure everybody understood.
00:28:19.900All we said was what every citizen in the United States has a right to do.
00:28:24.660Your home, in your house, and looters take to the neighborhoods, and they're going to break into your home to rob, to steal, to set your house on fire.
00:28:35.580Why wouldn't you blow them out of your house with your firearm?
00:28:38.900You've got the right to protect yourself, your family, and your home.
00:28:47.840I find it interesting, Grady, that there has been such a movement to get guns out of the hands of average citizens.
00:28:56.420And the same people who have been trying to do that are now in the streets causing all of this ruckus and saying, we're coming to your house.
00:29:05.540Do you think it's a coincidence, or are these things coordinated, do you think?
00:29:42.880So, if the criminals have guns, why in God's green earth wouldn't we want law-abiding citizens to at least be able to arm themselves, to protect themselves and their families?
00:29:54.760And there are areas in this country, if people didn't have guns in their homes, they wouldn't be safe.
00:30:01.300So, what we're saying is, look, when the criminals start obeying the law, when the criminals start doing what's right, then come back to us and talk about gun control.
00:30:15.360I don't think we'll ever have that conversation.
00:30:58.220But I can assure you of one thing, that that second, third, fourth, fifth person, when you modify that first person's behavior with a gun, the others decide to go the other way.
00:31:12.580And when you can't be safe in your home, you can't be safe anyplace at all.
00:31:16.880But you have the right, especially in the state of Florida.
00:31:19.120We have beautiful laws, not only castle doctrine laws, but we also have a stand-your-ground law.
00:31:27.120And it's really been taken out of context.
00:31:30.620Our stand-your-ground law doesn't mean that you can enter into a conflict and stand your ground.
00:31:36.940The intent and the pure purpose of that law is you're a law-abiding citizen behaving, walking down the street, minding your own business, and someone comes up to attack you, to beat you down with a stick, a baseball bat.
00:32:10.280And when you look where the problems are occurring, traditionally, it's in the communities that have stopped the good people from doing what's right, possessing their firearms, having easy-to-access concealed weapons permits.
00:32:27.900And obviously, then the criminals take over.
00:32:31.140So, where do we go from here, Sheriff?
00:32:34.840What should the sheriffs and the police forces around the country be doing right now to make sure they stay on the right side and their cities and their counties are protected?
00:32:51.160The police are nothing but a microcosm or a reflection of the community.
00:32:55.200When you saw these police agencies around the country that weren't appropriately responding to protect lives and to protect property, that is a reflection of the government.
00:33:09.120That's a reflection of the decision makers.
00:33:11.960The police officers are the enforcers.
00:33:16.540They just obey the laws and enforce the rules.
00:33:20.320So, when police officers are told to stand down, let them burn the building, police officers stand down and let them burn the building.
00:33:28.500When police officers in other communities are told, you're not going to let them burn out our stores, then that's exactly what the police can do.
00:33:39.680We have the resources to protect people's property and to protect their lives.
00:33:44.620But if the leadership of a community, the mayors, the city commissioners, the governors, the state legislators, if they capitulate, if they back up because of a use of force or threat against them, or a threat of force against them, if they tell the police to stand down, then you get what you get.
00:34:08.340There's a horrible video back in the Baltimore riots where the police were told, do not engage these people that are tearing up and burning this store.
00:34:20.060And there were certainly enough police officers there to do it.
00:34:22.920So, you have to not look at the police.
00:34:26.060You have to look at the leadership and the management of the city or the community.
00:34:30.520And how do you think the police and sheriffs are handling it so far?
00:34:38.860I mean, between COVID, there were some really dicey things that were happening around the country with COVID.
00:34:44.500And some sheriffs, mainly sheriffs, but some police officers, stood up against some of the draconian things that were happening in the state.
00:34:53.400How do you think the police are handling it?
00:34:56.120Well, we've got a lot of challenges on our plate right now.
00:35:04.720We've got folks who have an environment where they can legally wear masks all the time and be in positions to, one, protect themselves with a mask, or, two, hide themselves with a mask while they rob.
00:35:20.560So, when you add to that this environment that we have here now, that is absolutely, totally shocking.
00:35:28.340First and foremost, no rational, reasonable police agency, police officer, could ever defend the conduct of that police officer in Minneapolis.
00:37:51.280Because protesters are exercising First Amendment rights.
00:37:55.620Rioters are taking advantage of the situation in order to loot, steal, hurt people, or create absolute chaos.
00:38:05.720And that's why it's important for police agencies to be allowed to go in and pick the dissidents out, the troublemakers out, that's inciting the riot.
00:38:16.940But when you get them out, then you are left with the protesters.
00:38:21.280Sheriff, it has been great to talk to you.
