Glenn gets right out of the chute and takes it in strong to start this one off with a barn burner about Aunt Jemima and who really likes her. Also, we get into Christopher Columbus with Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire who goes through the whole situation and all the misleading things the media is saying about Christopher Columbus and trying to pull his statues down. And we have a great voice from the African-American community who is just trying to lay it out for us.
00:02:10.400Where are the men and women of God that know what is actually happening right here, right now, and have the guts to stand up and lead this nation back to common sense, to kindness, to the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, everything our parents and grandparents taught us.
00:02:30.180It's all the things that that simple man from Nazareth taught.
00:02:34.960I want you to listen to me really carefully.
00:02:39.360This nation is not evil, but believe me, it is about to be.
00:02:47.100If good men and women do not stand up, if they continue to do nothing, the freedom we all enjoy, as well as the hope of freedom, now only dreamt about by the 40 million men, women, and children who are actual slaves today, those who have been taken, ripped from their families so they could be sold to the highest bidder.
00:03:09.980And that doesn't even include the political prisoners, those who are persecuted because of their faith, their sexuality, their race, or a hundred other stupid reasons.
00:03:21.100That small flicker of hope that those people hold on to, that there's somewhere to run, that somebody cares, that somebody's coming, that somebody hasn't forgotten them, that light will be snuffed out.
00:03:33.840And we will become more dark and terrible than any of the totalitarian states Karl Marx could have ever imagined.
00:03:44.800Where are you, moms and dads, grandparents, millennials?
00:10:59.540Has anybody noticed the gift that we've been given lately?
00:11:02.020Because of COVID, we've had a short period of time where everything, all this busy nonsense of the world is put on pause, a chance to come back to our families, to our roots, to our God.
00:11:16.360We have been taken out of the noise and the filth of the world so we could be quiet enough to remember who we really are.
00:24:22.660Dave went on to become Lynn went on Lynn went on to become chairman of surgery at Morehouse School of Medicine, a very famous, renowned surgeon.
00:24:32.540He passed away last year and just like you, you wish you could talk to your dad.
00:24:38.340I mean, I think, you know, this time of covid is a reminder that it's important, you know, to take the time to listen to the people we love and to honor them by saying, who are you?
00:26:42.380And Glenn, even if your kids don't want to interview you, maybe they can ask you about your dad and you could have that record for your great, great grandchildren.
00:27:13.420We've been trying to get him on for a while.
00:27:14.800I really respect his voice and his bravery for standing up now and talking about things that nobody really wants to hear, except I think the American people that are honestly trying to solve race relations and trying to get trying to get us to move forward.
00:27:36.700And everything that is happening, I believe, is setting us way back.
00:27:48.100So please, please explain to me what's happening to the black community.
00:27:56.160Do they do they actually agree with like what's happening in Atlanta?
00:28:01.600We all agree on Minnesota, but do they actually agree with what's happening in Atlanta and what's happening now in our cities?
00:28:09.860Is that the majority of black Americans?
00:28:12.160No, I don't think it's the majority, but it is extremely loud minority that gets facilitated by the mainstream media into making people believe that it's an actual majority in the black community.
00:28:28.300The reality is most of us in the black community, while many of us sympathize with the rank and file protesters, the overwhelming majority of which I think want to be peaceful and are trying to protect black lives, the overwhelming majority of us do not support violence.
00:28:49.200We do not support burning down of a Wendy's that had absolutely nothing to do with that that that tragedy, that tragic case in Atlanta.
00:28:59.840And listen, I was talking to another black leader and he was saying, you know, young what what's going on in our cities right now, what's going on in our country right now, where you create this animus between the police and the community in particular among young black men.
00:29:16.000And the police is a clear and present danger to the lives and the safety of young black men.
00:29:23.320It's a very dangerous time is very, very, very concerned.
00:29:26.060Well, I'm concerned because this is this is a generational thing, and I think the next generation that's coming up behind this one is not going to be having the same kind of opinion if we make it that far.
00:29:42.240And, you know, what are you going to do with this whole generation that is embracing Marxism and truly just trying to destroy the Western way of life?
00:29:54.520That's all this is really about there.
00:29:56.800There are, like you said, I think, really honest protesters, black, white, yellow, everybody that really see and say, you know, we we want justice.
00:30:07.060We want justice for everybody and everybody should be treated equal.
00:30:10.560And I think there are a lot of good people, but they're not paying attention to who's leading these things and who's funding these things and what they stand for.
00:30:47.360They are self-identified queer Marxist feminists with a particular agenda.
00:30:54.560And if you don't believe Glenn Beck, don't believe Nigerianist, just go to the Black Lives Matter website and you will see from root and branch, you will see the entire Marxist playbook from deconstructing the nuclear family.
00:31:11.760Which, by the way, is the one institution, the nuclear family, one dad, one mom in a household raising children.
00:31:20.660That is the one institution that saved the black community for decades before the Civil Rights Revolution.
00:31:29.700And Bob Woodson, who is another person you should have on very soon, a great civil rights icon, actually a peer of my father, he says that in 1965, before the war on poverty, 85% of black children were being raised in households with one dad and one mom.
00:31:51.360And 80% of the fact of the matter is, pardon?
00:31:55.180No, I was just going to say, if I'm not mistaken, didn't they have a better family, stronger family unit than whites in the early 1960s?
00:32:05.060Yes, in the Great Depression, all the way to the beginning of the war on poverty, the nuclear families in black communities was higher percentage than the average white family.
00:32:19.020And tragically, I think Lyndon Baines Johnson, his heart might have been in the right place, but actually the war on poverty ended up being a war on the black family.
00:32:29.640And the breakdown of the black family is a direct connection to the socioeconomic ills in the black community that we have had ever since and that we have today.
00:32:41.200So, Nigel, can I say something kind of controversial that I don't have any evidence of?
00:32:46.740I've wanted to do the research on this and write a book, but I just I don't have the time, at least yet, but maybe before I die.
00:32:54.960I really believe Johnson was one of the worst racists ever.
00:32:59.640I mean, he's the guy who stopped the Civil Rights Act in 1959.
00:33:03.300Never, never, never, never, if you look at what he said, even when he was president, the way he spoke about blacks and the and he was just an out and out racist.
00:33:14.820And I find it interesting that he's the guy that delivers this and that this the progressive movement was also, you know, through through Planned Parenthood, trying to kill African-Americans for years, for decades.
00:33:29.840And then all of a sudden, all of these people, they come together and they come up with a great society to help inner cities when the results are slavery.
00:33:43.440The results are devastating to the black community.
00:33:46.460Do you think there's a possibility that any of these guys knew exactly what they were doing when they when they put this civil rights bill together and or the great society?
00:34:00.020Do you think there was a chance that they knew?
00:34:04.000I think some of the progressives definitely did.
00:34:07.020I actually think Johnson, who grew up a segregationist, I do believe he had a legitimate change of heart and he really did want to do something for poor blacks and whites for that matter.
00:34:20.480But there was also a political calculation and it is rumored that during the passing of the of this legislation and the war on poverty that Johnson said that these in words will be wedded to the Democratic Party forever.
00:34:38.200And that is insidious and that is disgusting.
00:34:40.620And unfortunately, it manifested itself quite greatly.
00:34:44.760You know, Glenn, you talked about a couple of days ago, as you can tell, I listen to your show, not even when I'm on.
00:34:54.940You have a great program and you've done a great deal of education.
00:34:59.900People should be calling you Professor Beck because you've done a great deal of civic and historic, historic information that the American people are not getting in our schools.
00:35:10.280And you talked about the great Booker T. Washington and when he when he passed away in 1916, how it left a void in the black community in terms of bootstrap conservatism.
00:35:21.440Actually, Marcus Garvey, who was a great Pan-Africanist, came in and stepped into the void to some degree.
00:35:29.660But he was only in power for maybe five to six, seven years after he ended up being deported from the country and put in jail.
00:35:39.120So there was a huge void in the black community and the socialists and the progressives latched on to the black community like leeches and have, you know, and even though the black community for many decades after that remained Republicans, disproportionately majority of us remain Republicans.
00:35:58.600We were certainly pro-capitalist, pro-constitution, et cetera.
00:36:06.520Hopefully it's a temporary victory, but there's no question that they came to dominate black politics, came to dominate black leadership.
00:36:14.540And it manifested itself in that war on poverty, which essentially became a war on the black family and ideologically speaking, became a war on the concept that had wedded the black American community to the essence of the United States for decades.
00:36:32.700And that was the thing that helped us to survive during the worst parts of segregation.
00:36:39.680Niger, what do you say to people like me or others that actually do care?
00:36:46.540And I thought we've, you know, we're never going to achieve the utopian world of all men are created equal and endowed by their creator.
00:36:54.860I mean, that is the greatest mission statement of all time.
00:36:58.040And because we're flawed human beings, we will ebb and flow.
00:37:01.920But for the most part, I really feel that we made great progress.
00:37:06.600And the last 10 or 15 years have been a nightmare.
00:37:15.200And yet there's a lot of Americans, white Americans, that they we want to make things better and we want to make sure that everybody has a chance.
00:37:26.860What do you say to us who don't know what to do, don't know what to say and won't kiss the hand or kiss the ring of Marxist socialists?
00:37:46.400And I'm actually I'm tremendously optimistic, even though those in the mainstream media and some elements or most elements of what calls itself black leadership have a particular perspective.
00:37:57.980The overwhelming majority of blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asian Americans, we get along.
00:38:05.180We just want to go about our lives, make a living for our families, get our children to go to school or to trade school or get a good job.
00:38:37.500And the degree to which white Americans have changed and evolved and grown since the battle days is an amazing achievement on the part of the United States of America.
00:38:48.860And I think it is because of our Constitution, it is because of our Judeo-Christian traditions that keep us on the right track.
00:38:57.600You know, let's go to the nadir of race relations.
00:39:01.440It would have to be, for black Americans, the Plessy versus Ferguson decision that essentially codified segregation and made it legal throughout the land.
00:39:11.180Well, there was one dissent, and I like to call this guy the grandfather, the spiritual grandfather of Dr. Martin Luther King's statement, content of character.
00:39:21.100And in that decision, it was eight to one.
00:39:25.820But there was one dissenter, and that dissenter was John Harlan, a southerner, a southerner that had been pro-slavery, a southerner that changed, that evolved and grew.
00:39:37.960And by the way, in his dissent, which I urge all of your listeners and watchers to read thoroughly, it's brilliant.
00:39:46.940But in that dissent, he actually says, I'm a white supremacist.
00:39:53.420But essentially he said, but that does not matter.
00:39:56.940Our Constitution is a colorblind document.
00:40:00.140It is a document that says that when it comes before the law, the highest of the high is equal to the lowest of the low.
00:40:09.600And that dissent, a thousand years from now, will be looked at, historians, as one of the greatest, it is, I think right now, considered one of the greatest dissents in our history.
00:40:20.520And that concept and that vision is what Dr. Martin Luther King inherited and said from the Lincoln Memorial when he said, we should be judged on the content of our character, not the color of our skin.
00:40:33.460And that concept and that vision is what should give Americans optimism and give us hope as we will overcome this nonsense that we're dealing with.
00:40:43.600Talking to the National Chairman, Congress of Racial Equality, Niger Ines, Niger, one last thought.
00:40:53.640Are we going to see a group of people led by a brave individual use the tactics that Martin Luther King used because they're violent?
00:41:13.560Are we going to see somebody rise up that will teach people how to link arms and walk through the jaws of hell and take a beating if that's what it means?
00:41:24.680Because the American people need to see, as Martin Luther King said, when the American people are shown good versus evil side by side, they will always go with good.
00:41:36.280Absolutely. And I think it's not going to be one.
00:41:40.740I think it's going to be several of us that I don't think it's going to be limited to one race.
00:41:45.500I think it's going to be a multiracial coalition that represents the true majority of Americans that love our country, that love our Constitution,
00:41:54.620that have a very happy that we have the Judeo-Christian tradition that we have, and we rest upon that, regardless of what your faith may be.
00:42:03.400It is that tradition that protects us, that tradition, the Ten Commandments, which are universal in terms of morality.
00:42:13.980That's what gives us the foundation that we will use to achieve victory.
00:42:18.320Nigel, when you find that group or when that group starts, I would be honored to march next or behind anyone that actually believes the things that Martin Luther King did
00:42:33.440and march with you right through the jaws of hell.
00:42:41.020Absolutely, Glenn. You're a good friend, a good ally, and you've done a great, great deal to educate the American people in ways that, unfortunately, many of our public schools don't do anymore.
00:42:53.460Yeah. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
00:43:27.160That they chained the park up, and while everybody is looting Macy's, de Blasio is making an example out of this Jewish community that are letting their kids play in the park, so he locks it up.
00:43:43.300De Blasio has targeted them for funerals and everything else, and he's always targeting these religious communities.
00:43:49.920Well, on 10-10, was it 10-10 wins, or I think it was 10-10 wins, the two hosts in the morning got a tip from a neighbor of some Jews that noticed the Jews were going to school, and it's dangerous.
00:44:12.020And 10-10 wins, and 10-10 wins, has led this investigation.
00:44:16.920When riots are happening on the streets, when people are going out in parades in the streets, this small little Orthodox Jewish school is open and being spied on by the neighbors.
00:44:32.960When we do know one thing about COVID, the least likely to have any kind of harm are kids.
00:45:27.400Now, you are a Catholic society, and you have joined with this Orthodox community, a couple of rabbis and a couple of priests, if I'm not mistaken, and you're suing New York.
00:45:44.180We're suing on behalf of a couple of Catholic priests in New York's North Country, which is up by the Canadian border,
00:45:49.500and several practitioners of the Orthodox Jewish religion in Brooklyn, which is down south.
00:45:56.500And the south are in phase one, moving into phase two of this cockamamie reopening plan, which has done nothing but destroy jobs.
00:46:04.560And in the northern section, which is in phase three, we have somewhat looser restrictions on gatherings.
00:46:11.400But nevertheless, religious gatherings in the state of New York are subject to peculiar restrictions.
00:46:17.540So indoors right now, they're limited to 25% of capacity.
00:46:23.460The only such limitation in all of the capacity limitations in this plan.
00:46:29.160Various offices and other businesses are either at 50% capacity indoors or 100% capacity indoors, including homeless shelters, for example.
00:46:37.320So we're arguing in federal court that there's a discriminatory application of these guidelines that impacts religion adversely.
00:46:45.980And now, with the George Floyd demonstrations, thousands and thousands of people thronging the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge,
00:46:55.320Mayor de Blasio participating in a huge rally at Cabin Plaza.
00:46:58.960We're arguing that those demonstrations, quite simply, exposed the whole regulatory regime as a total sham.
00:47:08.000Because there's nothing worse in terms of a super spreading event than thousands of people standing shoulder to shoulder, screaming and yelling.
00:47:34.760That's a First Amendment protected activity.
00:47:37.200The argument we're making now is, yes, fine, let them protest.
00:47:42.620But don't pretend that you're enforcing a generally applicable and neutral law at this point, because you're not.
00:47:50.940You're creating massive exceptions for the protest activities you favor, and you're discriminating against, in particular, the Jewish groups in Brooklyn.
00:47:58.900So at this very moment, while they're allowing mass demonstrations in the lower part of the state, in Manhattan, they're chasing Jewish children out of parks in Brooklyn, in the chain lines of parks.
00:48:11.800So, Christopher, why do you think this is happening?
00:48:19.880Why do you think that it is anti-religion, anti-Semitism, or do they not even believe the stuff that they've been shoveling for a while?
00:48:34.380You know, we don't even have to get to the question of whether they harbor any specific animus toward religion.
00:48:39.740What we do have to show is what is quite obvious now, at this point, that they're favoring secular activities over religious activities, for whatever reason.
00:48:49.680So they make value judgments in favor of protests, and they make value judgments in favor of certain businesses and other activities, and they don't make the same value judgments in favor of religion.
00:49:00.800Well, that means that the scheme of regulations is neither generally applicable nor neutral.
00:49:07.880It means that if you have a system of exemptions and prohibitions, and the impact is on religion, you have to have a compelling state interest for that, and the regulations have to be narrowly tailored, so that you don't harm religion any more than is absolutely necessary.
00:49:27.280If they would have come out and said, hey, we understand your First Amendment rights, we don't condone this, we urge you to stay inside, and they were saying consistently the same kind of stuff, but they would have had to have a crackdown on it, because that's what they've been doing to the religious community.
00:49:47.560If they would have done that, you would have had to have a hard case, but what they chose to do instead, how is this going to spend more than 10 minutes in court?
00:49:57.720Well, there's an obvious problem, and it's a huge problem, and they can't overcome it.
00:50:01.840Like I said a few moments ago, the fact that they granted this massive exception for tremendous demonstrations, thronging bridges and plazas, destroys the whole public health rationale for this entire cockamamie scheme of regulations, which is increasingly ridiculous, by the way, as the days go by.
00:50:18.880Like, for example, you look at the office guidelines now for phase two, you're in an office, you have to be six feet away from all the other employees in the office, and if any of them comes closer than six feet, you have to slap a mask on your face right away, and then when the employee gets further away than six feet, you take the mask off.
00:50:36.480How are you supposed to operate an office like that?
00:50:38.360It's just a contraption of bureaucratic contrivances that gets dreamt up in some office somewhere.
00:50:47.920And if they had said, well, we'll just tolerate this because we can't do anything about it, but you really should stay home, that would be one thing.
00:50:54.520But they're still defending it as just in itself that there are these mass demonstrations.
00:51:00.040Just a couple of days ago, June 16th, the mayor was asked point blank, how do you justify allowing these massive protests when you don't let people gather outside bars?
00:51:14.720And I think we just have to keep it in perspective.
00:51:16.920We're seeing a social movement growing before our very eyes that's addressing 400 years of oppressive reality in this country, et cetera, et cetera.
00:51:24.840So in other words, this is such an important movement.
00:51:27.220Well, we just have to allow, but you can't congregate outside of a bar with 10 or 20 people.
00:51:32.240So we'll allow 50,000 to march, but none of these block parties, please, because we have to enforce social distancing.
00:51:40.380So that's why I say the whole thing is being exposed as a sham.
00:51:44.180When it was put to the test of neutrality with a protest movement, it collapsed.
00:51:49.460And now we see what it really is, just a bunch of value judgments masquerading as a public health regimen to meet with an emergency.
00:52:28.700But when the public outcry came, he at least had the honesty with Executive Order 152 to say that, OK, all outdoor gatherings are now conducted without limitation if they are for a religious or a political purpose.
00:52:44.720So he said basically, oh, what was I thinking?
00:52:48.200Yes, everybody has First Amendment rights to demonstrate outdoors or engage in religion outdoors.
00:52:53.880So we're saying in the New York suit, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York City should have the intellectual honesty to do the same thing.
00:53:02.460So there should no longer be any restriction whatsoever on any kind of outdoor gathering.
00:53:21.620Well, we're arguing that if you can let homeless shelters operate at 100 percent capacity and they're filled with the older, more vulnerable populations who are sleeping overnight in the shelters or in the drop-in shelters and staying there all day long in close quarters, then how can you say that a synagogue or a church should be limited to 25 percent capacity?
00:53:47.380So we're arguing that the indoor restrictions should be eliminated and we should be treated the same as the most favored businesses under the scheme.
00:53:56.420For example, supermarkets, bagel shops.
00:54:07.660You go across the street to the synagogue.
00:54:09.180It was 10 people only before, and now they say 25 percent capacity, which, by the way, is with many of these small synagogues, that's the same thing because they only hold about 40 people.
00:54:21.140So we're asking for a parity of treatment.
00:54:23.400Treat religion the same as the favored businesses indoors.
00:54:26.740Drop all the outdoor gathering limitations because they've basically already done that.
00:54:31.280So there's no justification for picking and choosing which groups of people get to congregate outdoors.
00:54:36.580Christopher Ferrara, thank you so much.
00:54:40.800He's with the Thomas More Society and fighting for your religious freedoms, at least in New York.
00:54:48.820And may there be a thousand of these that are brought around the country.
