00:07:44.860The entire broadcast delicately restored so you can hear it is available now at glennbeck.com, the original Glenn Beck program broadcast from 9-11-2001 as it actually happened.
00:08:03.360This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:08:06.560you know you know we we traded our we traded our we've we've traded our country we have
00:08:18.100betrayed our country we have betrayed our country we have betrayed our values our history
00:08:24.840our principles our grandparents everything that anyone ever thought and fought and died for in
00:08:30.500this country. They didn't fight and die for corruption in government or giant corporations.
00:08:37.680They all fought and died for an idea, an idea that was bigger and better than all of us. And honestly,
00:08:44.800the best idea ever to be uttered by a group of people putting together a country. We hold these
00:08:52.160truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. No one else has a better system that is
00:08:58.560striving for a better idea than that. And if you can show me one, I will renounce my citizenship
00:09:05.980and join the next one. I cannot think of a higher ideal than what we are supposed to be striving
00:09:14.960for, but we've sold out. We've, we've led our education. We can't tell you who even flew.
00:09:22.660Do you know why, do you know why Iran is so important? Yeah. Cause they're going to have a
00:09:27.860nuke okay all right well then we can argue about the nukes we are well they may not have a nuke0.92
00:09:33.340did they even have a new all of that crap that we've been hearing forever okay i'm not going to0.97
00:09:39.260give you that argument well it's the oil we need to have the oil what a ridiculous we're going to0.99
00:09:44.440die we're going to die for oil when we have this much oil what a ridiculous that's true0.81
00:09:49.520we got bigger problems that's not why we're doing it you know why we're doing it because there's0.99
00:09:55.120some human beings that are still awake enough to realize that it's the same damn crazy ideology.0.93
00:10:02.680It's the same crazy theology in Iran that flew those planes into the buildings. It's the same0.98
00:10:12.480evil. Now, are we going to man up and say, enough? Look at what's happening to Europe.
00:10:23.700Look what's happening here in the country.
00:10:28.320I want to introduce you to Danny Burmaui.
00:10:49.560You have a company, you want to release something.
00:10:51.480They wouldn't release this because it's insensitive.
00:10:57.360He is the founder and CEO of the Ideological Defense Institute.
00:11:02.560All he's doing is saying, hey, maybe we should defend our Judeo-Christian principles in this country.
00:11:10.320Now, the reason why I wanted him on today, the story broke just a few minutes ago or a few hours ago.0.80
00:11:15.840But more importantly, he's a former Muslim who, when 9-11 happened, cheered, cheered as those towers came down, called American infidels.0.70
00:11:30.080He is the guy now leading this organization saying, wake up, America, because he woke up.
00:11:39.120Danny, you're a brave man. Welcome to the program.
00:13:58.720And when I converted to Christianity, it was inevitable that I changed how I saw the West, how I saw Israel.
00:14:07.700But let me tell you this, the Western civilization, which was the biblical foundations that were secularized and globalized, is what gave the world today everything good in it.0.86
00:14:20.860Even the Islamic countries that, for example, signed the Human Rights Declaration, the Human Rights Declaration is against Islam, Islam is against the Human Rights Declaration, because in Islam, you don't have an intrinsic value, your value is determined by your religious affiliation.0.88
00:14:37.000So, instead of thanking the Western civilization, the Judeo-Christian civilization, they're trying to replace it.0.98
00:15:01.420How you live as a citizen and how you fast and how you pray.
00:15:05.140So anyway, I converted to Christianity, my worldview changed, and then I came to America after being a missionary in the Middle East for 15 years, and October 7 happened a couple months later.
00:15:18.480And oh my goodness, what I witnessed on the streets of the West, the rebranding of Islamic Jihad, trying to paint it as liberation movements, resistance to occupation, response to imperialism like Mamdani's own father said in his book.
00:15:38.100What? No, this is not a response to imperialism.
00:15:41.7409-11 was not a response to American oppression.
00:16:02.500Just watch the interviews that Yusri Fouda, for example, an Egyptian journalist with Al Jazeera conducted in Afghanistan with Al-Qaeda member who talked in details about how they planned it.
00:16:48.660it's mentioned in the quran 200 times the word infidel the word jihad are they kidding me
00:16:54.980what what what is what is inflammatory about infidel and jihad from our perspective as non-muslims
00:17:01.780we should be offended they're afraid that we the words are going to offend muslims
00:17:07.860no so what we are trying to do as you mentioned i'm the founder of the ideological defense institute
00:17:13.300i i created this organization to fill a vacuum in dc to fill a gap after everybody went politically
00:17:22.680correct no one wants to talk about the truth everybody is trying they're jeopardizing the0.97
00:17:28.260safety that the future of personal civilization so i brought together a group of infidels all of
00:17:34.500us are former muslims or arabic christians trying to educate policymakers the church and the public
00:17:39.920about the ideological threats facing the West.
00:17:44.260But this month, between 9-11 and October 7,0.94
00:17:47.540we are launching the Infidel Awareness Month1.00
00:17:50.180in partnership with a coalition of infidels.1.00
00:17:55.020And we were, actually, the language was very soft.1.00
00:17:58.580We say this has nothing to do with Muslims.0.99
00:18:00.860We need to differentiate, to distinguish between Muslims and Islam.0.99
00:18:04.660Because do you know who benefited from conflating Islam and Muslims?1.00
00:18:08.580islam itself because as long as you are attaching muslims and islam together1.00
00:18:15.800the moment you criticize islam muslims call you islamophobe not only muslims useful idiots too1.00
00:18:22.500and we end up with islam being protected shielded from scrutiny so we need to separate both of them1.00
00:18:31.120We are talking about an ideology. Muslims who don't, who claim that they don't believe in this ideology that we are addressing, they shouldn't be offended. Okay, we are attacking the ideology of fighting the infidels until they are subjugated. If you're a Muslim and you're offended, then probably you should be offended because I don't care.0.99
00:18:55.060But if you say, no, this is not Islam, I don't care.0.89
00:19:06.660So basically, we are trying to help Americans remember.0.66
00:19:11.780We want to honor the victims of jihad.
00:19:14.160Not only on 9-11 or October 7th, not only 60,000 attacks, Islamic terrorist attacks in the past few decades,
00:19:21.420But all throughout the 14th century of Islamic history, 80 million were murdered in India alone because of Islamic conquest.0.87
00:19:31.280We're talking about tens and tens of millions of people who were massacred all throughout civilizations and geography because of this ideology.0.96
00:21:43.440I was trying to get in touch with you because, Glenn, you're one of the heroes, the few heroes who are fighting against this.0.73
00:21:50.680And please let me take a deep breath here and speak calmly because I know that many people who hear us today, they would say, oh, this is like they're Zionists.
00:21:59.580They are defending Israel, this and that.
00:24:00.720Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.
00:24:03.780The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.
00:24:08.080The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.
00:24:10.000And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.
00:24:14.160That's why I advise you, prepare before the first cough starts.
00:24:17.880The Kids Case from Jace Medical provides physician-prescribed emergency medications and antibiotics designed specifically for your children.
00:24:25.760And you can also include essentials like albuterol, EpiPens, Zyrtec.
00:24:31.740So when a school germ makes their annual appearance, you're not scrambling to find out what your family needs.
00:29:14.860It is who they are because God said that's who they are.
00:29:19.660And the only thing that that means is you're the ones to make sure the people understand the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the individual.
00:29:32.500Yes, and I don't know if you saw this this morning, but there is a story out there that there's a school district in Virginia that wants to erase any connection to Islam with the 9-11 attacks.
00:29:49.020In fact, there was an old saying in the Soviet Union, we have it in the book, that says, the future is known, the past is always changing. Why? Because if you can get people to believe false things about history, you can control what they're going to believe and do in the future.0.83
00:30:05.040If we're going to try and get people to say that Islam had nothing to do with 9-11, it's a religion of peace, then we can just open up our borders and say there's no problem here. But obviously there is. There's only 1,400 years of history on this, Glenn.0.88
00:30:20.100you know 50 plus muslim countries don't have the freedoms we have in america but somehow we're
00:30:26.440called islamophobic which is a bogus term because islam is not a race it's an ideology and you ought0.99
00:30:33.120to be concerned about an ideology that wants to take away your freedoms and has done so in every0.68
00:30:37.440government for 1400 years so in which they became a majority so you know i gotta tell you because
00:30:43.740Your book is titled perfectly, The War on Reality, because it is a war on reality.
00:30:49.980The reality is these are the guys that took down the World Trade Center.0.98
00:30:53.980These are the same people that are sending all young 20-something men into countries.0.87
00:31:00.960I didn't notice all the families that are crapping on the beaches in Spain.
00:31:06.360I don't see all of the wonderful families that are coming into all of these countries, and honestly, it's only a matter of time before they take over, and nobody seems – it's a complete detachment from reality.
00:31:31.040One of every four people I saw on the street in London was a Muslim. The way we get back is we get back to saying that we're more concerned about our kids and grandkids' future than we are about being called a bad name. Okay? So if you want to smear us as Islamophobic, which is, again, a bogus term, fine, go ahead. I'm going to do what's right under God, and I'm going to do what's right for my kids and grandkids.
00:31:55.820because we only have 1,400 years of history that shows us that whenever Islam takes over,0.99
00:32:01.420all the freedoms we enjoy essentially go away. You don't even have the freedom to preach and1.00
00:32:05.680live the gospel. You can't have the Glenn Beck show in Iran. You can't have it in Saudi Arabia.
00:32:10.920You know, I mean, come on, people, wake up. So let me ask you, how can you, or do you have,1.00
00:32:18.240I'm sure you do, in the book, tell me about the tools that you can equip people with so they can
00:32:23.980detect part of the war on reality? Okay, one tool is the law of non-contradiction. We don't teach
00:32:29.940kids logic anymore. Instead of teaching kids how to think, we're teaching them what to feel.
00:32:35.200Now, that can be very dangerous because if you follow your feelings without reason or moral
00:32:39.540restraint, you're going to wind up in a very dark place. So here is one tactic we have.
00:32:43.860When people say things like, I mean, the whole war on reality is built on postmodernism,
00:32:48.260the idea that there is no truth. So when someone says there is no truth, we simply ask them,
00:32:53.240is that true is it true that there is no truth because the claim there is no truth
00:32:58.420claims to be true at the same time it claims there is no truth it's like saying i can't
00:33:03.040speak a word in english glenn it's gobbledygook so we're teaching people logic in this book
00:33:08.160frank was that the first time you were back at uvu no i came back i came back in march
00:33:19.180to speak to the students um so uh what was that six months after charlie was murdered because
00:33:26.540we felt like we wanted to reclaim that campus uh we would we wouldn't let um a gunshot be the last
00:33:33.520word as andrew cipher said last night uh so we went back and i know your son goes there doesn't
00:33:38.680he yeah um yeah and you know uh it's an it's an interesting place they have a new um president
00:33:47.460of the university i met him and his family last night and i did too i thought he was a wonderful
00:33:52.420guy i yeah you know i don't know that he agrees with everything that everybody says but um uh
00:33:58.600you know he was the guy who you know got that thing rolling because at first they weren't going
00:34:02.900to do anything and um uh and he was in an absolute lose-lose situation but i i thought he was a
00:34:11.780university president that seemed to not have a war on reality well put i i had about a three
00:34:21.300minute conversation with he and his wife and they were very complimentary so yeah um i thanked him
00:34:26.980for allowing us to have the event there last night and um i i still like you i can't believe it's been
00:34:33.600a year on the other hand it's been the longest year of my life right it's crazy i mean it's almost
00:34:39.920like it's almost like time has just changed like it doesn't have any relation at all anymore and
00:34:51.300i don't know if that's because i'm getting older or if if this is happening to everybody no matter
00:34:55.660what age because we're living in such a different time so much is being consumed every day it seems
00:35:03.780like it was just yesterday, and yet it seems like I've lived five lifetimes since then.
