The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Ezra Levant & David Mellor ｜ 7⧸17⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hello, podcasters. A great, great episode today. We were a little passionate, a little passionate

00:00:06.060 about AOC and the squad taking on Donald Trump. We have a few things to say, even used a little

00:00:13.640 Malcolm X audio to kind of make you feel a little bit better. Also, the most racist,

00:00:19.920 most racist president in history. Historians have now deemed Donald Trump tied for first place. 0.98

00:00:29.040 Wait until you hear that story. Also, we had Ezra Levant on talking about Tommy Robinson. He's being

00:00:35.500 well, he's in jail now in prison. Actually, when you hear his story, it's one that you should pay

00:00:41.800 attention. Of course, don't talk about it on Facebook because they'll kick you off if you do.

00:00:48.020 I don't like that. I'm somebody who believes if somebody tells me not to do something,

00:00:53.140 I'm going to do it. So we talked about him. Also, an incredible story that's outlined in a new book,

00:01:01.840 One Base at a Time. A guy whose work you've seen, if you're a sports fan, you've seen his work and

00:01:08.820 I guarantee at one time you went, wow, that is really cool. I'm not going to tell you what he's

00:01:13.640 done in sports. I'm going to tell you how he got there. In the new book, One Base at a Time,

00:01:18.440 he's on today's podcast.

00:01:27.720 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:31.680 We have Home Title Lock is our sponsor. Here, one of the largest real estate title companies

00:01:42.240 suffered a big breach. She has 900 million files. That's no big deal. I mean, it's only 900 million.

00:01:48.100 It's only three times the population of the United States. Well, it could be more than one document

00:01:51.720 per person. Yeah, it could be.

00:01:53.100 Could be. Anyway, if you think that's a problem, what you really need is Home Title Lock. Home Title

00:01:59.720 Lock is the only people that are actually looking to protect your title. They're the only ones that

00:02:06.360 can do this. They actually stand at the digital gates or the digital vault. And any title that is

00:02:12.540 being changed, like 95% of them have to go in and out of this vault door. And that's where they're

00:02:18.560 positioned. So once you're a client of theirs, anybody trying to change anything on your title,

00:02:24.400 they immediately notify you and say, did you? Are you changing this title? If you say no,

00:02:30.420 they're on it. This is really critical. FBI says it's the fastest growing crime in Manhattan. It's an

00:02:36.240 epidemic is what they say in Manhattan. Go to HomeTitleLock.com. HomeTitleLock.com.

00:02:53.580 elevate AOC and make her into the face of the party. Well, sure. Okay, maybe. But I think it's

00:03:02.460 really just a desire to make sure everybody knows who she is and know that the Democratic Party is in

00:03:09.620 mortal combat with people who think like her. That's really what it is. She's the she is the

00:03:16.780 the quintessential take the mask off. I'm dying to tell you who I am. She is the she and her what do

00:03:26.420 they call it? The squad. She and her squad want you to know exactly what they want to do to this country.

00:03:34.280 And what they want to do to this country is abandon the free market. Reverse the Constitution.

00:03:43.280 Change us fundamentally. Now, I guess the GOP just wants to elevate AOC. And that's the only reason why 0.79

00:03:53.080 Donald Trump tweeted, maybe you should leave. If you don't like it, leave. Well, that is that's racist.

00:04:04.280 That's racist, you know. Is it? Or is it possibly a the truth? And when I say the truth, meaning

00:04:15.760 the way we the way we feel, you know, the way people were so tired of being told that we are a bad place, 0.99

00:04:25.920 that we're bad people, that white people are the problem. I'm so tired of it. 0.98

00:04:31.220 You know what? If you don't like it, there are about 169 other countries you could go to right now

00:04:41.380 that's that's not America. Well, we don't leave things that we love. That was the quote. We don't

00:04:48.420 leave things that we love. Tell me what you love about it. I have not heard the things you love

00:04:56.700 about it. It's not the Constitution. It's not the free market. It's not our history. Hell, it's not

00:05:04.220 even half the people. Because half the people here are clearly racists. So what is it that you love? 0.99

00:05:12.260 And by the way, call me old fashioned. But you don't fundamentally change the things you love.

00:05:24.700 Oh, man, I bought this Picasso. I just love it. It's wonderful. I just want to put the nose where

00:05:33.040 the nose belongs. You don't love the Picasso, dude.

00:05:40.660 We are a different place. We have a different system. We work things out over time. It takes a

00:05:47.620 long time to do it. But this country believes in the individual. And there's always a problem when

00:05:54.840 somebody says, you know what, the individual doesn't really get it. That's when you have monsters

00:06:01.720 like Andrew Jackson appear. That's when you have, quite frankly, monsters like FDR, who rounded people

00:06:11.600 up. Put them in concentration camps. Real ones. American citizens. That was your progressive

00:06:22.700 president for you. Now, here's my real problem. My real problem is with the press. The press

00:06:33.260 is has deemed Donald Trump's statements racist and deemed now him a racist. There is no, as they said,

00:06:44.940 you know, because Donald Trump apparently thinks that some of the things the people in the squad have

00:06:52.320 said were, quote, anti-Semitic or, quote, socialist. What? Why the quotes? Why the quotes?

00:07:01.720 You don't want to claim what they're saying about Jews are anti-Semitic? You can't read into their

00:07:10.620 comments at all. No, you can't say when they say I'm a democratic socialist, you can't say that

00:07:16.900 they're socialists? That's exactly what Politico did. They actually said, after they described how he

00:07:24.820 was very racist, they said, uh, by the way, none of the four lawmakers are socialists.

00:07:31.480 Yes, she's there. Like you all are saying that. Right. Why? Because she's a democratic socialist, 0.93

00:07:37.580 which is the difference between vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip ice cream, but they're both ice

00:07:41.440 cream. Oh my gosh. It is. It's, it's absolutely incredible. And by the way, look up what democratic

00:07:47.480 socialists actually want. Don't look at it from a, a, uh, somebody who is trying to cover

00:07:55.080 it up. Go to the source, to the democratic socialists and look at what they want.

00:08:03.980 Now, Donald Trump is only saying this because, uh, the GOP is, is, is just quote, wanting to

00:08:11.280 describe these people as socialists. I'm so sick of this. This is why Donald Trump is going to actually

00:08:19.840 gain points from this. And we can, we can dance around the edges and go, well, should he have said

00:08:27.540 it? Shouldn't he have said it? We could argue about that all day long. Why? I personally think

00:08:35.120 this president, I don't, I just don't believe the guy who was hanging out with Jesse Jackson

00:08:42.120 is a racist. I just don't believe the guy who lived in New York forever and got along with

00:08:48.620 everybody is a racist. Does he say stupid things? Yeah. Do I really think that he's a racist? No, 1.00

00:08:57.260 I don't. Now you might have a different opinion on that and you can make a case, but neither one

00:09:03.740 of us know if it's true or not. You're reading into his motivation, right? Exactly right. And what

00:09:09.080 I read into this is shut up. That's what I read into his comments. Shut up. I am so sick and tired 0.96

00:09:16.640 of you guys saying everything is bad in America. If you don't like it, leave. Now I've never liked

00:09:25.540 that because if you don't like everything in America, you don't have to like everything in

00:09:29.900 America, but you're trying to fundamentally transform it and you're using every single 0.84

00:09:36.820 tactic. And you know what? If America cannot see who these people are, once the masks come off,

00:09:45.240 you're doomed America. You're just doomed. Let me play what I said. This is back in about 2009,

00:09:52.880 2008. When I was at Fox, this is what I said would happen. The radicals reveal themselves.

00:09:59.740 They'll become unafraid. I told you this, and I believe I set this up with something along the

00:10:06.480 lines of look out because we'll be in trouble when the mask starts to come off. I told you about a year

00:10:13.020 ago that as it would come unraveled, the radicals would start revealing themselves. Watch.

00:10:19.600 I think these people are close. I think they're dying to tell us what the real agenda is. I think

00:10:26.360 they're close to taking the mask off. Okay. Got it. So what was that?

00:10:34.560 Things are at the breaking point. Donald Trump has brought this to the breaking point.

00:10:44.040 The Democratic Party is at the breaking point. And it's going to be decided in the next year

00:10:52.520 whether or not they become all radicals or the average Democrat still has a party to go to.

00:11:04.880 They're saying that Donald Trump is building unity with Nancy Pelosi and unity against Trump.

00:11:12.160 Well, I have to tell you, I think it works both ways. I think he's also building unity for Trump,

00:11:19.520 for himself. They are socialists. I believe based on their anti-Semitic remarks, they are also

00:11:27.840 anti-Semites. Based on all of their quotes about white people, I believe they are also racists. 0.97

00:11:34.220 But I don't know. But I do know they want to destroy the free market.

00:11:38.480 They want to reverse the Bill of Rights and make it into a charter of negative liberties. I'm sorry,

00:11:45.320 positive liberties. What the government must do. You don't change the things that you love.

00:11:54.100 People are sick of this bizarro world that we're living in. People are sick of this world that the

00:12:00.840 media claims not to see. This world where everything that you think you know or knew,

00:12:11.940 let me put it this way, you might have heard this if you're a long-time listener,

00:12:15.060 people are sick of a world where everything they thought was solid is liquid. Everything that it was

00:12:21.160 up is down. They're sick of it. And they know it. And they know it. They took the masks off

00:12:29.840 because they think they're in the majority. But I have news for them. They're not. Let me give you

00:12:36.480 a flashback. We surround them. It's not the other way around. We surround them. They have just co-opted

00:12:47.220 social media. They have co-opted the media giants and the new media giants.

00:12:54.680 But they're not in the majority. The majority of Americans know free health care for all illegal

00:13:03.920 aliens is insane. People know instinctively that you may want more immigrants, less immigrants, 1.00

00:13:15.360 whatever. But we need to know who's coming in. The vast majority of people know that.

00:13:23.680 The vast majority of people do not dismiss MS-13. They don't look at these as good people or people

00:13:30.920 who have just gone astray. They know who MS-13 is. And if they don't, all they have to do is to look

00:13:38.020 at the local headlines of their paper. In LA today, 22 people are on trial from MS-13. Why are they on

00:13:46.440 trial? Lots of reasons. Kind of the one that stands out is they were beheading people and hacking people

00:13:53.360 to death with machetes. I don't know. That sounds like something maybe we don't want on the streets of 0.72

00:14:00.020 America. And by the way, it's not just me saying this. I'm going to pause for a minute. I'm going

00:14:09.500 to come back. I'm going to show you that Democrats are now saying this. I'll also show you that what

00:14:17.080 the president said is is going to resonate with a lot of people. I don't like the way he said it per

00:14:25.540 se, but I got news for you. He's speaking what millions, millions of Americans are feeling,

00:14:35.100 what this American is feeling. And it's going to work to his advantage because it's based in truth.

00:14:49.080 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:55.540 Hey, it's Glenn. And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray

00:15:03.200 Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast. I think we kind

00:15:08.800 of stumbled onto something here with talking about the times that we're in right now. I sense

00:15:15.140 the end coming. And that could be in 10 years, but I don't mean that in a I don't mean that in a bad

00:15:24.560 way. I mean that we're at a pivot point right now. Uh, and we've seen it before we've seen it

00:15:30.620 before. Do we have that Malcolm X audio? Um, let me play this Malcolm X audio. He's talking about

00:15:37.040 Barry Goldwater and I'm not sure he likes Barry Goldwater an awful lot, but he also doesn't like

00:15:43.220 liberals. Now listen to what Malcolm X said. Well, if Goldwater ever becomes president, one thing his,

00:15:49.340 uh, presence in the white house will do, it will make black people in America have to face up to

00:15:55.000 facts probably for the first time, uh, in many, many years. And this in itself is good. This will

00:16:01.280 have a tendency to make the Negro probably for the first time, uh, do something to stand on his own 0.98

00:16:06.020 feet and solve his own problem instead of putting himself in a position to be misled, misused, exploited,

00:16:11.460 uh, by the whites who pose as liberals only, uh, for the purpose of getting the support of the 0.87

00:16:17.380 Negro. So in one sense, uh, Goldwater's coming in will awaken the Negro and it will probably 1.00

00:16:22.600 awaken the entire world more so than the world has been awakened since Hitler. Okay. You know, 0.88

00:16:28.320 the last part, you know, might be unfair, but, um, but we'll listen to what he said. He said,

00:16:34.440 if somebody comes in like Barry Goldwater shakes things up, they're going to have to look and say,

00:16:42.080 you know, these are not my friends. I think this is happening. I think this is happening. Now

00:16:48.740 a lot of African Americans are silently and some not so silently supporting Donald Trump.

00:16:57.720 So this message from the 1960s is, is at least relevant to today. The message that we just were

00:17:08.400 talking about with revolution, you have to remember the Beatles were part of this hippie loving thing.

00:17:15.160 Remember they were, you know, smoking pot, having incense going, you know, off to the mountains to

00:17:20.400 find themselves with, you know, gurus, all of these things. They were very, at the beginning,

00:17:25.980 they were very much part of the culture, but at the same time, counterculture. And as we got closer

00:17:31.100 to the 1968, 1969, 1970 era, uh, they were very almost counterculture. They were in the,

00:17:40.020 the hippie movement and they kept being asked, will you join the revolution? There was a marker

00:17:47.220 set down because what AOC doesn't have is a music revolution. The hippies back then, they had all the

00:17:55.740 musicians on board. And then the Beatles came out with revolution. And you say you want a revolution.

00:18:03.600 Well, we all want to change the world. But if you want money for people with minds that hate,

00:18:09.500 all I can tell you, brother, is you're going to have to wait. Don't you know, it's going to be

00:18:13.360 all right. You say you want to change the constitution. Well, we all want to change your

00:18:17.760 head. You tell me it's the institution. Would we better free your mind instead? If you're carrying 1.00

00:18:23.240 pictures of chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone. Anyhow, don't you know, it's going

00:18:28.420 to be all right. I think we're at this point again. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:18:49.080 Hi, it's Glenn. If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and

00:18:53.060 rate us on iTunes? If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.

00:18:58.860 You can subscribe on iTunes. Thanks. Don't they get it? This only helps Donald Trump. This only

00:19:04.440 helps him. Maybe that's their goal. Maybe they act like it's their goal. I know they just they don't

00:19:10.740 get how far out of touch they are. They just we're not America's not buying into your definition of

00:19:17.140 racism. This is not because it's I got news for you. A new definition of racism. We all knew what

00:19:24.400 racists were for a very long time. You can spot them a million miles away. All right.

00:19:31.480 So let's let's go to a new poll first before we reveal the the most racist president that's that's

00:19:42.500 holding Donald Trump back from being being the most racist president himself ever all time.

00:19:47.960 It's fascinating. I mean, because journalists are using this. They are saying these comments are

00:19:52.520 racist like they're saying they're in English, right? Like it's an absolute fact that everyone

00:19:57.400 understands. Yeah. And anytime you say to anyone that they should go back to another country,

00:20:01.640 that means you're racist. Despite the fact that, of course, you know, we brought up the example of

00:20:06.440 Piers Morgan that we have maybe occasionally mentioned, maybe a lot are, you know, the

00:20:12.700 fundamental, you know, concepts of our Constitution so much, perhaps he would go back to England.

00:20:17.460 Right. And stop bothering us. You racist. Why do you hate white people so much? Exactly. I mean,

00:20:21.540 it's just it's and this is the thing I think fundamentally, which what happens with Donald

00:20:25.600 Trump, which is when Donald Trump disagrees with someone, he insults them publicly. Right.

00:20:31.660 That is the pattern we all understand. Everyone on earth understands that's what Donald Trump does.

00:20:36.920 When someone says something bad about him, when Justin Amash says something bad about him,

00:20:41.260 he trashes him in public. Right. It's only when like so everyone when the person is white, 0.99

00:20:48.300 people just say, well, he's just trashing people. He's unpresidential, whatever it is.

00:20:52.260 When it's someone who isn't white, they say the motivation is racism.

00:20:55.680 Now, we all know he every time someone disagrees with him, he just comes up with some insult

00:21:00.060 against them. But it's always the motivation of Donald Trump is applied externally from

00:21:07.760 journalists. And they say every time it happens to be a black person or Hispanic person, it must 1.00

00:21:11.740 be racism. Maxine Waters was the same thing. They tried the same thing with Maxine Waters. 1.00

00:21:16.340 So, you know, you can certainly make an argument that you think he's motivated by racism. Make your

00:21:21.600 case. That's fine. However, a journalist should not be just applying this like you're saying,

00:21:26.360 Donald Trump tweeted something in English yesterday. It's not that is not the same

00:21:30.000 thing. You are applying a motivation. You are reading his mind as to what you think caused this

00:21:35.620 problem. And that is not something you're supposed to do as a journalist. But I love this part of

00:21:40.280 this. This is USA Today. All right. They do a poll. Now, what is the issue here? What's the problem

00:21:46.020 with these tweets if you are in the media? What you're saying is, right, that Donald Trump is saying

00:21:55.780 the comments made, the criticisms made by these four congresswomen are essentially un-American.

00:22:02.660 They should leave. They're so critical of this country. They hate it so much. They're against

00:22:06.720 America. They're un-American. They should leave. Right. That's that is what he said. And that's

00:22:11.340 what the problem is. They're saying, well, you can't say his criticism. The criticism is un-American.

00:22:14.840 How dare you say that? You want them to leave? Here is how they do a poll about Donald Trump's

00:22:21.040 tweets. This is it. President Trump's tweets calling on four Democratic congresswomen to go

00:22:25.200 back to their original countries instead of criticizing the United States were un-American.

00:22:29.180 Do you agree? The whole controversy is you're mad at Donald Trump for saying someone else's opinion

00:22:36.880 is un-American. And you poll them asking if Donald Trump's criticisms are un-American. You're doing the

00:22:43.580 exact same thing you're accusing him of. The exact same thing. I am so every day I become more and

00:22:51.100 more confident that they're just, let him go. Let him go. They're just destroying themselves.

00:22:58.620 Yeah. I mean, you just can't care about this stuff, I guess. I do get, when it comes down to

00:23:02.420 rewriting history, though, I get a little offended. Well, now you can't say that they're doing that.

00:23:07.940 I can. A Pulitzer Prize winning historian. Historian. His name is John Meacham. He was on

00:23:16.320 MSNBC. Yeah. And he is now saying there's a tie at number one for the most racist president in

00:23:24.880 American history. So it's got to be Jackson, Andrew Jackson. You know, the whole, you know,

00:23:33.160 bloody, you know, bloody, bloody tears, you know, veil of, or what it was, a trail of tears,

00:23:39.360 that whole thing. Could be either Jackson. I would vote for Wilson. I knew you would vote for

00:23:46.640 Wilson, of course. So what does he say? Which one? But it was Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson

00:23:53.340 was the number one tie. So not Jackson and not Wilson. Andrew Johnson? Johnson said that in a state

00:24:00.540 message that African Americans were incapable of self-government and relapsed into barbarism if

00:24:06.500 they weren't closely supervised. That sounds pretty darn racist. But I don't know if I would 0.98

00:24:11.880 bring back the KKK in the 20th century. Right. I mean, right. I mean, Wilson, here's how bad

00:24:19.360 Wilson was. You ready for this? He resegregated the government. Okay. One, let's just put this into

00:24:27.000 perspective. I'm not defending Johnson at all. I don't know much about Johnson. I know he was the

00:24:31.980 first president to be impeached. He was horrible. I know Abraham Lincoln hated him. That's as far as 0.96

00:24:38.140 I've gone on Johnson. So he might turn out to be a horrible, horrible racist as well. My guess is 1.00

00:24:42.960 a pretty bad comment. Yeah. My guess is he was. However, put that into the context of, of his time.

00:24:50.320 Um, okay. One of the things that all abolitionists, uh, had to deal with were people who were on their

00:24:56.980 side, but they said, um, they're going to kill us. Okay. How do we, can we, can we put them on

00:25:06.340 ships and send them someplace else? Because, uh, we've been really bad to them and they're going to

00:25:11.820 kill us. That was one of them. The other was the more compassionate. They've never had to do 0.68

00:25:18.180 anything other than exactly what they've been told for generations. How are they going to build a

00:25:26.440 society and live in a society when we've torn apart their families? When we've, we've, we've put them 0.85

00:25:35.760 in these little communities where they have no control. This might be the most cruel thing you could

00:25:41.980 possibly do. So put it into the context of that's what he was maybe saying. He may have been just

00:25:49.500 out and out racist, but the actual argument at the time, which maybe he was just going in for and

00:25:56.520 trying to make it. And he was really a undercover racist. Um, and he was only saying this to reflect 0.86

00:26:02.340 what thoughtful people were thinking at the time. Uh, but let's compare that. Let's just say that's,

00:26:10.940 he meant it as they're inferior. Woodrow Wilson. This is just one on his hit parade. Woodrow Wilson

00:26:18.740 actually, actually re segregated the government. Okay. So we weren't segregated. You had postmaster

00:26:27.840 generals and people that were working side by side in the government, black, white, no problem

00:26:33.120 until Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow, Woodrow Wilson then re segregated. But there was one office and I don't

00:26:43.520 remember what it was. There was one office. It might've been in the mail service where he couldn't

00:26:50.300 segregate the blacks and the whites. There was this one guy whose job had to be done in this office with 0.62

00:26:57.580 all the other whites. Okay. You know, this story, I know where you're going on this one. He built a 0.97

00:27:03.940 cage around that employee. Okay. He wanted to make sure that that guy was segregated. And so they

00:27:13.020 built a cage for that employee that he had to stay in all the time. They called them screens.

00:27:19.040 There were screens around that employee. Okay. All right. Sure. Screen the blackness from the 0.99

00:27:24.880 employees. Also, he said that segregation is not a humiliation, but a benefit and ought to be so 0.98

00:27:31.920 regarded by you gentlemen. Well, there you go. Oh, it's not a big deal. Now, I think that that's

00:27:37.400 what's remarkable about Wilson and why, you know, like for example, Wilson didn't, wasn't as big a

00:27:43.040 government guy as many people who came after him, but he changed, he went against the grain,

00:27:49.160 right? He was going the other direction. Right. And the same thing with race. Like we were, 0.59

00:27:52.900 we were slowly advancing, uh, past the racial, you know, horrific mistakes of the past.

00:27:59.840 And he said, you know what? Let me jam on the brakes, throw the thing into an emergency brake,

00:28:04.540 spin the car around and start driving the opposite direction. That's really hard to do.

00:28:08.880 He did it. And he did it as fast as, uh, as you know, you watching mission impossible when Tom

00:28:15.160 Cruz pulls up the handbrake and he's going 60 miles an hour and he spins around and he's going

00:28:20.640 the other direction at 60 miles an hour. That's how fast he did it. This guy was an outrage. He's

00:28:26.380 responsible for the reinstitution of the clan of the clan. Think about that. The clan goes away and

00:28:33.160 he's like, yeah, let's bring it back. Brings into the white house. Uh, the movie that essentially

00:28:37.600 relaunches the clan based on his writings, his book. I mean, like this is a guy, Wilson to me,

00:28:44.500 uh, blatantly is the most racist president because he broke the mold of the time. He it's,

00:28:51.860 it's, it's a difficult thing. He didn't, but he didn't in some ways, in some ways. Well,

00:28:56.200 he was with the, certainly the progressive, uh, movement at the time was incredibly racist.

00:29:01.320 Correct. But I will say the, the inertia of the time. Yeah. Right. Everything was going,

00:29:06.240 the people were going one direction, but the, the, the brainiacs, the, uh, you know,

00:29:13.800 the leather patch jacket, the scientists, the scientists, do you know, do you know what

00:29:18.520 origin of the species? Look this up. Oh yeah. The real title. Yeah. You told me about this

00:29:23.080 at the museum. Is that the museum? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, it is the full title

00:29:26.940 of it is a little revealing. Yeah. Uh, let's see. Origin of the species. Thank God we have this

00:29:35.260 now. Okay. So let me see if it's even on this. It is. I, I, when you talked about it the other

00:29:39.540 day, I searched for it. It is, it's a, yeah, here I have it here. You have it. Uh, origin of the

00:29:44.260 species. This is the Charles Darwin book. Or the subtitle or, of course, it's a little blurry

00:29:51.460 here. So, uh, hold on one second. It's helpful. Thank you, internet. Thank you for that. Okay.

00:29:56.760 Uh, or origin of the species by means of natural selection, right? Or the preservation of favored

00:30:04.360 races in the struggle for life. Okay. So now here, I just want you to put this into perspective,

00:30:09.560 what the founders were saying and, and what people were saying at the time was, look, they don't have

00:30:17.040 a society that we recognize. Okay. We have built this society. They were dumb. They were wrong.

00:30:24.480 And we don't recognize that as, as really civilization. I mean, they're living in the

00:30:30.420 jungles and they're, they're hunting with spears, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So they don't recognize

00:30:35.360 that as at the same level. Remember, this is 200, 300 years ago. So they were having this conversation

00:30:42.940 of, all right, so are they fully developed or not? What is the deal? Lincoln and people like John

00:30:51.980 Quincy Adams and yes, Thomas Jefferson, they all said, no, no, no, they are men. Um, but we don't

00:30:59.240 know that Jefferson, I don't know what's going to happen. If we release them now, we have to have a

00:31:03.300 full plan here. I have to have a full plan. Lincoln said they are men fully men, but then origin of the

00:31:10.260 species happens. And this is where the racists all flock. No, it's scientific proof. Now that there

00:31:18.760 is a favored species or a favored, uh, race. There was a consensus on, yes, it's a consensus

00:31:25.720 and science is now proving it that there is a superior race. And in origin of the species,

00:31:33.620 basically he's saying, you know what you should do is just, we have to take the Africans and put them 1.00

00:31:39.140 back into Africa, put them back in the oven, let them bake a little longer so they can really become 1.00

00:31:44.260 fully human because that's where the monkey image comes from. Origin of the species.

00:31:51.200 They're not fully human. See, we all evolved from monkeys, but they're not there. They're not there.

00:31:56.540 That was the argument by Darwin and so many others. Right. That's what, that's why, uh, Woodrow

00:32:02.800 Wilson in his book has all the African-Americans look like monkeys. That's all that's, that comes 0.99

00:32:09.400 from. And, and Donald Trump beats that guy. That's insanity. It's insanity. This, this historian

00:32:18.280 ought to be ashamed of himself. Absolutely ashamed of himself.

00:32:22.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:30.460 It's Glenn. And you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on this

00:32:34.720 show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download your favorite

00:32:40.400 podcasts. Ezra Levant is joining us. He is the founder of rebelmedia.com rebelmedia, also the host

00:32:47.560 of Ezra, the Ezra Levant show. Uh, he's been on the program with us, uh, several times. Uh, he was

00:32:53.720 involved in another media group, if I'm not mistaken, uh, with, um, a good friend of ours. Anyway, um,

00:33:02.700 I wanted to have Ezra on because there's a story about this guy named Tommy Robinson. Tommy is a guy

00:33:10.500 who has been a guy who is speaking out about what's happening in England, especially with this,

00:33:18.700 this sex ring that the government of great Britain has covered up like nobody's business. When you read

00:33:25.560 about this sex ring, even from sources like the BBC, you see, wow, is this really bad? And a lot of

00:33:34.620 people are running for cover now. He's being, he's been, uh, he's facing jail time, uh, for things

00:33:41.720 that he says, uh, we're not really crimes. He's being politically persecuted. He's asking for, uh,

00:33:48.240 asylum here in the United States, wants Donald Trump to, to grant him asylum. I've read all kinds

00:33:54.140 of things, even from the blaze. I read something last week that I read and I thought, wow, that's

00:33:58.660 really bad, but that's not what I've heard from other sources. Uh, and I don't know. I've tried to get

00:34:04.220 Tommy Robinson on this program, uh, because I think we just need to ask questions and then hear it

00:34:10.280 from him. I don't trust any, anybody or any source anymore. I want to hear it myself. Now, a guy who's

00:34:17.920 been a very good friend of his for a long time is Ezra Levant. So we thought we would get him on the

00:34:22.860 phone and, uh, get his look at who Tommy Robinson is. Hi, Ezra. How are you? I'm great. Thanks for the

00:34:30.060 opportunity, Glenn. Sure. Tommy Robinson's a really colorful character. I mean, let's be candid. He's,

00:34:35.240 he's not the kind of guy that political pundits like you and me are used to dealing with. He grew

00:34:40.220 up, uh, very working class in a poor city called Luton. And when he was young, he was a bit of a

00:34:46.600 soccer hooligan. But over the course of time, he's become, I think, unwillingly at first, a political

00:34:53.980 activist as Luton became Islamified through mass immigration. He saw the changes to it. But I think 0.53

00:35:02.160 what really animates him these days is a phenomenon we don't have in Canada, the United States yet,

00:35:08.760 thank God. And it's these rape gangs. And this is not like rape as you and I might conceive it. 0.74

00:35:16.140 Someone's grabbed into a dark alley, raped, and then the rapist runs off. These are gangs of men

00:35:22.840 who trick and trap and exploit girls as young as 11. And then they rape them every night for years 0.99

00:35:32.060 and for years. And let me give you an example. There's a city called Rotherham in the UK, 250,000 0.99

00:35:39.400 population, small city, 1,400 girls, 1,400 girls were raped continuously for a decade before police

00:35:51.940 prosecuted it. And I know that sounds unthinkable. How could that be? Everyone must have known 1,400

00:35:58.780 girls in a city of 250,000. How could it go on for a decade? Well, there was a government inquiry into

00:36:05.540 it. And you know what the answer was, Glenn? Because the rapists were overwhelmingly Muslim Pakistani men, 1.00

00:36:13.160 no one wanted to talk about it. They were all afraid they'd be called Islamophobic or racist. 0.99

00:36:18.020 So social workers, doctors, police, press, politicians, they all shut up about it because 0.93

00:36:25.740 they thought this rape is pretty bad, but I don't want to be called a racist.

00:36:30.220 Right. And this is very well documented. If you're first hearing this, this is very well documented,

00:36:36.180 even by sources that would never want to be called Islamophobe. I mean, BBC has even documented

00:36:43.700 this particular case. It's horrible what's going on. Well, and that's just one city,

00:36:49.620 cities and towns all across the UK. So fast forward to last May, Tommy was standing outside

00:36:56.400 a courthouse in Leeds, where a 29 person gang was on trial for raping girls as young as 11.

00:37:04.840 And I say again, Glenn, and I know this is hard for your listeners to hear. These girls aren't just

00:37:09.140 raped once. They're raped every night by these gangs of men. And in this case, bizarrely, 0.99

00:37:16.200 there were two women who were involved. So the trial was over. The jury had finished their

00:37:23.560 deliberations. It was judgment day. Tommy, who was an independent journalist, he used to work with me

00:37:31.160 before, but then by this point, he was independent. He was standing outside the courthouse,

00:37:35.100 live streaming on Facebook, his commentary on this phenomenon. So he was standing outside the

00:37:41.940 court. It was about 830 in the morning. And as the accused rapists were going into court,

00:37:47.580 he called out to them. And he said this, quote, how do you feel about your verdict today?

00:37:54.740 That's what he said. How do you feel about your verdict today? He didn't swear at them. He didn't

00:38:00.720 insult them. He did not impede their access to the court. He filmed himself saying that. And the

00:38:06.280 three or four men he talked to, they swore at him. They insulted his wife. They insulted his mother.

00:38:11.620 And that's it, Glenn. That's it. And seven police swooped in. And you can see this on YouTube.

00:38:20.000 They put them in the back of a police van.

00:38:21.760 Okay. So now I saw this and I was perplexed by it, but it is fair to point out that the English laws are

00:38:30.500 different than the American or Canadian laws. That is against the law. He knew he was breaking a law by

00:38:35.720 doing that, correct?

00:38:37.240 Well, the thing is, he didn't report on any goings on in the trial. He didn't know what was going on in

00:38:44.000 the trial. He hadn't been in the trial. Now, I'll come back to your point in a second,

00:38:48.680 because that's what they, they said he was in contempt of court. And I've just described what

00:38:54.280 he did. He didn't go into the court. He didn't say what was happening in the trial. He didn't know

00:38:59.600 he hadn't been in. He was talking about the general phenomenon and he read out the names of some of the

00:39:06.640 29 accused and he read it off of the BBC website and other websites just that day. He just, he, I suppose

00:39:15.020 he assumed if the state broadcaster of the United Kingdom, the BBC has the names of these 29 accused

00:39:20.980 and if they're publishing them, he thought he could read them. And in fact, uh, and so he did,

00:39:26.820 I'll, I'll, I'll hurry up my story, Glenn, cause I know we're short on time.

00:39:32.020 So he was put in the back of a paddy wagon, taken to the judge in a trial that lasted less than 10

00:39:39.640 minutes. He was found in contempt of court. He never said a word in this trial, by the way,

00:39:44.600 his live stream was about 75 minutes long. Obviously the judge didn't review a 75 minute

00:39:52.020 live stream in 10 minutes, right? They finished this drumhead trial in 10 minutes because it was

00:39:59.060 almost lunchtime. Glenn is crazy. And they had to go for lunch and they sent him to prison 0.57

00:40:04.820 for a 13 month sentence. Uh, he was the first journalist in nearly a century to be in prison

00:40:14.940 for contempt of court. And guess what? They sent him to a prison with a high Muslim population. 1.00

00:40:23.880 They moved him from a safe prison where he was in a ward by himself to a very dangerous prison called

00:40:31.000 Onley. So the prison governor said, the warden said, well, you know, I hate to do it to you,

00:40:36.380 but for your own safety, we've got to put you in solitary confinement. Oh, it sucks to be you. 0.99

00:40:41.540 And so for 10 weeks, he lived in a box for 23 and a half hours a day for contempt of court. Now 0.97

00:40:51.720 we crowdfunded his appeal. The court of appeal throughout this conviction said it was done improperly

00:40:58.500 for about 10 reasons and freedom from prison. After 10 weeks in solitary confinement, the court of

00:41:05.140 appeal said everything about it was improper, but the attorney general prosecuted him a second time,

00:41:11.440 a do over for the same offense. And last week they sent him away for nine months. Glenn now he gets

00:41:19.960 some credit for time served, but right now, Tommy Robinson is in Belmarsh prison, the special prison

00:41:27.340 for terrorists and murderers. He's in isolation in Belmarsh prison, serving a portion of a nine

00:41:35.580 month trial, a nine month sentence for doing what I just said he did for saying, how do you feel

00:41:42.220 about the verdict today? He's in prison, Glenn. All right. So Ezra, is there any way to speak to him

00:41:50.600 from prison? People can send him an email. Okay, but I don't think an email back. I can't. So we

00:41:59.800 him on Tuesday, Glenn, and I'll tell him you're interested in talking. But yeah, I want to give

00:42:04.020 him a I want to give him a fair trial. And what really bothers me about this is that Facebook now

00:42:10.000 will ban you if you if you if you are defending him or, you know, playing anything from him, you will

00:42:19.220 be banned from Facebook. I don't like that. I want to make my own decision. And I've heard some things

00:42:25.260 from his past, etc. And I'd like to hear his version. I'm tired of hearing secondhand versions.

00:42:31.380 And I would like to give him a fair hearing, because if, if he's being wronged, it is incumbent

00:42:39.220 upon all of us to to stand up for him. He might be a dicey guy that you're like, well, I don't know.

00:42:46.140 I mean, it's kind of a little way this way and a little way that and people can make their own

00:42:50.560 decisions. But he's being made. He's being disappeared. And that can't happen.

00:42:56.480 Is he used to have a million followers on Facebook and nearly a million on Twitter,

00:43:03.080 so he could respond to the criticisms of him. But they silenced him. So it's fallen to his

00:43:10.000 surrogates and his friends. Now, Glenn, if you like, I can address some of the criticisms in that

00:43:15.380 blaze article. They point out that he has a history going back 15 years of petty crimes and other

00:43:24.360 offenses. For example, when he was 21, he was in a he got into a fistfight with an off duty cop.

00:43:31.200 And that's always a bad idea. And so he was he was convicted and sentenced to jail.

00:43:37.080 Absolutely true. When 15 years ago, and if you read his autobiography, it was the worst decision of

00:43:44.840 his life, punching that cop. He didn't know it was a cop. So yeah, if Tommy is a flawed man,

00:43:51.520 obviously, as we all are. But I've gotten to know him over the years. And he's a character. And you

00:43:57.960 know, he's, he's not from the walks of life you and I are from when he's very working class, which in

00:44:04.200 the UK, has a certain meaning people look down on him and people like him. And that's one of the

00:44:09.800 problems is that the more posh classes of society in the UK, well, it's not their daughters who are 0.83

00:44:16.400 being raped by these grooming gangs. It's the working class indigenous white girls. 1.00

00:44:22.080 You know, that that's no one cares about Tommy is a is a voice for the working class. And yeah,

00:44:28.540 that's going to mean he's not, he's not a perfect, you know, polished, you know, he doesn't know which

00:44:33.940 fork, you know, if he dined with no, no, no, I, you know, I didn't understand this until I started

00:44:40.080 working with my new assistant, who was one of my protectors for a long time. His name is Craig

00:44:48.020 Poole. And he is from Scotland. And he was working class, working class. And people do not understand 0.82

00:44:55.460 the class distinction here in America. We think we do. But we really don't. So I do get it. I tell you 0.90

00:45:02.940 what, Ezra, I'd love to do a podcast where we could address all of these things one by one,

00:45:11.120 because there are some other things that that need explaining and need answers to because the case,

00:45:19.380 it goes both ways. And I don't honestly know what the truth is. If you can line something up with him,

00:45:26.340 I would love to do an extended interview with him where we can go through these. I am not hostile to him.

00:45:31.840 I know the blaze article, but that wasn't written by me. And I don't approve the articles on the

00:45:35.920 blaze. I was on the air that day saying, I don't know which way to go on this guy. And the blaze

00:45:42.320 decided, well, we do. But I don't know if I agree with them. They brought up some good points. But I

00:45:48.380 also think there's some fair points on the other side that I'd like to hear from him.

00:45:53.660 I'll get your contact info from your producer, right? I'm going to see him in prison on Tuesday. And if he

00:45:59.340 has the ability to phone out of prison, I will encourage him to talk to you because he's his

00:46:04.360 own best advocate. And if not, maybe I can write to him and he can write answers back and you can

00:46:10.960 get them to me. That's a really good idea. Thanks very much, Glenn, for giving me the chance to make

00:46:15.880 his point. You bet. Thank you very much. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:46:30.020 Now I speak my mind. This is one of the keys in this story is, is actually saying things out loud.

00:46:40.360 Uh, there it's, it helps. It solves a lot of problems. Uh, David Mellor is the author of the

00:46:48.080 new book, one base at a time. It is one of my favorite stories. In fact, years ago, we, we bought

00:46:54.120 this story. We were going to do a book and, and other things with it. Cause I just find it so

00:46:58.340 inspirational. We never got around to it. And I was feeling so guilty. Uh, I'm like, you gotta hear

00:47:04.560 this story. So he wrote the book one base at a time. I now don't get a dime off it. Um, but I

00:47:12.460 want to promote it because it's one of the best stories I've ever heard. Uh, David, welcome to

00:47:17.440 the program. How are you? Great morning to you, Mr. Beck. Thank you so much for all your support.

00:47:23.320 You bet. You bet. I'm sorry. It's taken us so long to get to this point. Um, I want you to tell

00:47:29.080 the story and don't jump ahead. I want you to really lay the story out, uh, and, and start

00:47:35.480 with you when you're, you're young and you want to be a major league baseball pitcher.

00:47:41.760 Yes, sir. Um, you know, my dream was to make it to the majors. My grandfather played in the

00:47:48.040 majors in 1902. And my dream was to follow in his footsteps. I played baseball, uh, throughout

00:47:54.660 high school and had opportunities to play baseball in college with scholarships. And a month after I

00:48:00.260 got out of high school, I was walking into a McDonald's restaurant and, uh, a car pulled

00:48:07.180 in off the side of the sidewalk off the street and stopped and they got out and changed drivers.

00:48:12.340 So I stopped and, uh, while they changed drivers, I waited for them. They got back in the car and

00:48:18.620 I motioned for them to go ahead and drive and they motioned for me to start walking.

00:48:24.400 And so, uh, I started walking and I heard them rev their engine and squeal their tires.

00:48:31.220 So I had time to turn and look and the car was speeding toward me and I raised my left hand and

00:48:38.860 my left leg in the car hit me, threw me 20 feet in the air. I slammed into the brick wall right where

00:48:46.480 the door jutted out at McDonald's. And as soon as I looked up, the car was speeding at a higher rate

00:48:53.120 of speed and hit me a second time, pinning the handrail and the car bumper against my knee against

00:48:59.700 the wall. Oh my gosh. What, what, who were these guys? Well, this, this lady said she stepped on the

00:49:06.540 gas instead of the brake. And, uh, she, uh, you know, it was literally one of those moments where,

00:49:14.360 you know, your life flashes in front of your eyes. You know, I thought not only is my leg

00:49:19.340 crushed, I thought my dreams were crushed because, you know, I grew up a Red Sox fanatic. My dream was

00:49:24.820 to, to make it to the majors and someday stand on Fenway Park's Mount. You know, I thought at the

00:49:30.200 time I would, you know, go to college on a scholarship, study some kind of business in school.

00:49:36.860 And I didn't even know what that meant. I just hoped I would get drafted and make it to the majors.

00:49:41.440 And when I was hit, it literally, uh, was a moment that at first I became, you know, a really upset,

00:49:52.600 angry 18 year old kid. And my dad died when I was three and my mom and two brothers helped raise me.

00:49:59.020 And they inspired me throughout my life that adversity makes you stronger. And they inspired me

00:50:05.560 to look at that moment as an opportunity and a learning opportunity inspired me to find a career

00:50:12.620 that I would love to do. So, and not dwell. Yes, sir. Go ahead. And not dwell on the past,

00:50:19.620 but let me, let me go before you, before you move forward. How many surgeries did you have to have?

00:50:24.580 What did the doctors say when you were taken? And, and then this woman didn't pay any price. 0.98

00:50:30.240 I would imagine she didn't go to jail or anything. No, sir. She did not go to jail. Um, she was a,

00:50:36.440 she was a part-time stripper. Um, did not have, uh, uh, insurance. Um, they, um, um, I walked on 0.99

00:50:46.560 crutches for two and a half years. I walked with a cane for 10 months, uh, during physical therapy,

00:50:51.860 had a horrific injury in physical therapy. Um, I've actually had 45 surgeries and I figured that's

00:50:58.780 better than 46. Um, I've been hit by a car three times and three, that's better than four.

00:51:03.560 I think I'm one of the lucky people in the world. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So you just drop these

00:51:07.300 things out. You just drop these things out. You've been hit the first time. When were you hit a second

00:51:14.540 time? Well, the second time was actually at McDonald's. The car came at a higher rate of

00:51:19.680 speed. Wait, wait. Okay. Okay. That's the same incident. Okay. So you were hit there. Then you were hit a

00:51:25.640 second time. Okay. The third time you were hit. Yes, sir. I was working for the Milwaukee Brewers

00:51:31.900 in 1995. And we had, uh, uh, just taken all the sod off of the, of the field at County Stadium

00:51:40.640 and, and graded all the top soil. And we were waiting for the sod to arrive. And I heard a car

00:51:48.000 behind the bleachers and I was out in the left field area near where the left fielder stood

00:51:53.160 raking around an irrigation head. And because of, uh, the car accident, I was very hypersensitive

00:52:00.900 to car noises. And I heard this car and I thought, that's odd. Why do I hear a car? And I turned

00:52:06.860 around, there was a field entrance gate behind the left fielder's position. And when I looked,

00:52:12.260 there was a car coming from behind the bleachers toward the field. So I ran over to where the warning

00:52:17.480 track met the open field gate and put my arms up and the lady, uh, smiled as big as she could 1.00

00:52:24.340 and stepped on the gas and came right at me and hit me. And I hit the windshield and landed

00:52:29.760 in a pile at the base of the outfield wall pads at the gate, at the open gate. And she went speeding

00:52:36.440 down the warning track, following the curve of the track. She was going so fast when she went behind

00:52:42.420 home plate that she made a dust cloud kind of a rooster's tail, throwing track material 10 rows 1.00

00:52:48.680 up into the stands. And a couple of the groundskeepers came over to ask me what they could do to help. And

00:52:54.340 I asked them to call 911 and behind the bleachers, we had big steel security gates. So I asked them to

00:53:02.160 close those up so she couldn't get away. And as I was laying on the track, she made a full lap around 1.00

00:53:08.480 the field. And instead of following the curve of the grass as she had before, as she got closer to

00:53:14.380 me, she's beard and started aiming right at me to your God. I thought, Oh my gosh, she's literally 1.00

00:53:20.720 going to run me over again. And at the last minute, she swerved to miss me and slammed on the brakes and 1.00

00:53:27.100 stopped right beside me, sat up in her seat, waved excessively at me, smiling, and then stepped on the gas, 0.95

00:53:35.240 sat back down, stepped on the gas and peeled out, covered me in track material and drove through the

00:53:40.360 gate behind the bleachers. Okay. Okay. All right. Before we get into this, please tell me she went

00:53:45.540 to jail. Well, she was, she did not go to jail. She went to a mental hospital. You know, I pulled

00:53:54.440 myself up against the wall pads and got behind the bleachers. And she was out of her car screaming at

00:54:00.080 the guard to let her out. And every other word was a cuss word. And I noticed her car was still

00:54:05.280 running. And so I went over and took the keys out of her ignition. And she came over and yelling and 0.53

00:54:11.760 cussing and spitting in my face to give her her keys. And I said, I'm sorry, ma'am, I can't do that.

00:54:17.280 So she got in her car and locked the doors. And when the deputies came, I gave them the keys. And

00:54:21.840 when they unlocked the door, she tried to stab the deputies. And they got her out of the car and put

00:54:28.320 her in the back of the squad car and asked her why she was there. And she said she was there to

00:54:32.940 do a stunt for a movie. And, uh, as a result, they took her to the county mental hospital instead of

00:54:38.980 the jail. This was on a Thursday. And on Sunday evening, I received a phone call. Uh, they would

00:54:47.760 like me to come testify. Otherwise they were going to let her go on Sunday. So when I went to the court,

00:54:54.820 the hospital mental hospital on Monday, there was regular courtroom in the hospital,

00:54:58.500 her attorney was there and she waived her rights to appear in person. She was in a straight jacket

00:55:04.220 in her own, in her room. And the deputy testified, I testified, and the doctor testified, but she had

00:55:11.900 a past history with mental illness. 1991, she arrested, she was arrested in Florida for stalking

00:55:18.760 Julio Iglesias. 1993. She was arrested on international charges, threatening the queen of

00:55:26.180 England. And the night before she did this at County stadium, she had tried to assault Oprah

00:55:32.280 in Chicago, but she got away. But Oprah's security staff got a picture of her in her license plate.

00:55:38.820 But because of her rights as a mental patient in the state of Wisconsin, all they could do is sign 0.97

00:55:44.320 her up for a retest of her driver's license. Oh my God. And she got to pick the date and the time

00:55:50.160 of the test. And the doctor said, if she took her medicine in the morning, she'd be able to pass the

00:55:54.960 test in the afternoon. Okay. So David, I'm going to take a rest here for just a second because your

00:56:01.200 story is not done and it becomes really, uh, hopeful here soon. Not too soon, but soon. Uh, and you have to

00:56:11.960 hear this. It is, um, his story is written in a new book now called one base at a time. It is

00:56:18.720 truly a great book. If you're a baseball lover, if you're, if you're anybody who has ever had any

00:56:25.840 problems or PTSD, imagine the PTSD, this guy's had, you would be, I mean, just the, the movie poster

00:56:33.740 for Christine would have made me wet my pants. Um, but we'll continue his story here in the blaze radio

00:56:40.600 network on demand.
