00:00:00.980 Hello America, you sick, twisted freak. We've got a great show for you, a great podcast. You don't want to miss a second of it.
00:00:08.380 We have Bob Woodson on, a guy you've probably never heard of. This guy is outstanding. Facts that you've never heard before on the truth, on America, and slavery.
00:00:20.500 This guy is, I mean, I really, I want to invite him over and just have him be on the show every day. In fact, he's coming back tomorrow, hopefully, on tomorrow's podcast as well. Don't miss a second of that.
00:00:34.880 Um, we, uh, we also go into the most dangerous story of the day. It is something that I think you really, really need to pay attention to.
00:00:45.440 And, uh, and, uh, it just is at that point now to where it's all coming. The chickens are coming home to roost. If I may quote Jeremiah, right?
00:00:59.140 Um, it is, it now is the time where we really have to be very, very careful. Uh, and you'll hear all about that. And why I say this is the most important story of the day. It's where we start on today's podcast.
00:01:18.540 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:22.440 All right. I want to talk to you about what I think is the most important story of the day.
00:01:33.220 And it comes from the Hill and the headline is just Facebook boycott gains momentum.
00:01:40.580 All right. Doesn't sound like a, a big deal, right?
00:01:45.000 Facebook is coming under mounting pressure from major companies to rein in hateful content on their platform.
00:01:52.440 Or risk further loss of ad revenue.
00:01:56.180 In the past week, companies like Patagonia, the North Face, Ben and Jerry's, REI have joined the Stop Hate for Profit campaign organized by civil rights groups in the wake of police killing of George Floyd.
00:02:12.800 Organizers of the Facebook boycott acknowledge that while previous efforts to change Facebook's platform have fallen short,
00:02:19.300 the national focus on racial injustice has put the spotlight on all aspects of life, including social media.
00:02:27.120 Now, here you have big tech that already defines hate speech as this speech, any speech that disagrees with what the mob is saying.
00:02:41.820 That's hate speech.
00:02:43.780 They already agree with it.
00:02:45.720 They are already limiting speech.
00:02:47.940 They're already demonetizing people. 0.62
00:02:49.860 They kick two people off just in the last two days.
00:02:52.960 They are coming for us one by one as it is.
00:02:56.520 Now, you have the advertisers organized by the same people that put me out, put all of us out, the same people who have been boycotting Rush Limbaugh forever.
00:03:12.580 You now have those people coordinating the efforts on Facebook.
00:03:17.860 And with what's happening, what do you think is going to happen?
00:03:24.580 Quote, this is from Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.
00:03:30.680 I think the country is reckoning with this legacy of systematic racism in a way that it hasn't before.
00:03:36.920 You see this playing out in the public square, and it seems to be playing out in the political arena.
00:03:41.040 That environment, I think, creates the conditions in which this advertising pause has so much appeal.
00:03:48.800 Notice they call it a pause and not a boycott, because I don't think they know if they can survive without Facebook and Google.
00:03:57.460 You don't know who's going to win on that battle.
00:04:00.940 I would just like to say to Jonathan Greenblatt, you should watch.
00:04:05.140 What is the HBO show that's out now, the Something of America?
00:04:12.260 I've been watching it.
00:04:13.020 It's really, it's really, really good about Charles Lindbergh winning the 1940 election or 1939 election instead of, instead of Roosevelt.
00:04:27.200 And it shows how they were just, the Jews are just sold out, just sold out. 0.99
00:04:33.220 If you actually think, while you're there running the Anti-Defamation League, that the people of Black Lives Matter are your friends, you are insane.
00:04:46.740 You are absolutely insane.
00:04:49.080 So the ADL, the NAACP, Sleeping Giants, Color of Change, Free Press, and Common Sense have launched the Stop Hate for Profit campaign last week,
00:05:03.780 calling on companies to pull their advertising dollars from Facebook for the month of July.
00:05:07.640 There's been a lot of misinformation, says James Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense.
00:05:15.300 He said, after Floyd's death, there's been a ton of hate and white supremacist content on the platform, and they just ignore it.
00:05:24.000 Really?
00:05:24.600 Really?
00:05:31.440 The rhetoric is glorifying violence.
00:05:35.540 The groups behind the current boycott are calling for Facebook to, among other things, create a threshold for harm where users facing harassment can speak directly with an employee,
00:05:47.460 an internal mechanism for removing ads labeled as misinformation, and system for flagging content in private groups.
00:05:55.580 So, they want more restrictions.
00:05:58.600 By the way, we have been flagged over and over again.
00:06:01.900 This is how they are limiting our voices, because if you get enough people to let Facebook know that you think that that's misinformation,
00:06:12.300 and if you get USA Today, ABC News, NBC, to say what you're saying is misinformation, you're banned.
00:06:23.020 They're already doing this.
00:06:24.600 Although the campaign was just launched last week, they're already received more than a dozen corporate sponsors.
00:06:32.140 Outerwear companies, including Eddie Bauer, were some of the first to join,
00:06:36.740 pledging to stop buying advertisements on Facebook and Instagram for July.
00:06:40.180 The web browsing company Mozilla, shipping company Local Postal, film distributor Magnolia Pictures,
00:06:49.100 and global freelancing platform Upwork have also joined the campaign.
00:06:54.000 As the world's largest on-demand remote talent platform, we're committed to building a safe and inclusive space for companies and professionals,
00:07:00.680 says the CEO of Upwork.
00:07:02.680 We cannot stand by and be complicit or complacent about the spread of hate, racism, and misinformation.
00:07:08.320 Greenblatt suggested more companies are likely to add their names to the list.
00:07:13.060 We've had a lot of incoming advertising agencies and other big brands who are thinking about it,
00:07:18.080 and I think you'll see that more will come online in the days ahead.
00:07:22.680 360i, a digital advertising firm with clients like Spicemaker, McCormick & Company,
00:07:28.100 consumer giant Unilever, and Discover Financial Services,
00:07:32.320 sent an email to clients last week advising them to join the ad boycott.
00:07:36.380 David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect and founder of Techno, I don't know, Tech Comedy,
00:07:45.780 called the potential of the boycott campaign historic.
00:07:49.580 I think there's a small number of really global, influential advertisers that would gain the attention of Facebook
00:07:54.480 in a way that nothing else ever has.
00:07:56.820 So they're going to start cracking down.
00:07:59.240 Why am I telling you this?
00:08:00.740 Because everything that I told you was coming is now here.
00:08:09.940 These are the times.
00:08:12.840 I literally would like you to thank God for the blaze,
00:08:18.220 because it is only because of him that I started it.
00:08:21.560 It is only because of him that we said we're going to build a platform that does not rely on advertising.
00:08:30.080 We're going to build a platform that will be open to all voices that are coming under attack.
00:08:36.500 If you believe in the Constitution of the United States, you have a home here.
00:08:41.960 I don't know how long this is going to last.
00:08:47.920 I don't know how long, but the blaze is one of the platforms now,
00:08:54.140 and others are not built the same as ours.
00:08:58.040 We have been talking to other platforms for a while,
00:09:01.860 and I think with coronavirus, they kind of woke up,
00:09:07.040 and hopefully they are changing some of the things that they do.
00:09:10.580 I am open to talking to any other platform about what makes us different
00:09:16.620 and what makes us a little more stable,
00:09:18.780 but I also am open to talking to any talent that is on the ropes right now.
00:09:28.700 There must be some place that is preserved and is a defender and is a voice of America.
00:09:36.740 I also put out a call today, please, and I have asked people who are like-minded,
00:09:45.960 and I think they thought I was crazy when I said it,
00:09:49.260 but I am putting a call out right now to people who are in Silicon Valley,
00:09:54.300 who see what's going on and know that the only voices that are important at times like these
00:10:01.740 are the ones of dissent.
00:10:04.280 You cannot have lockstep thinking.
00:10:08.720 You cannot do it.
00:10:10.500 If you want to survive, you must have people that think differently
00:10:16.460 to at least present another point of view.
00:10:21.280 The Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, is under attack,
00:10:27.860 and I don't know if there is going to be a voice outside of the public square.
00:10:35.820 And I ask people in the tech industry,
00:10:38.980 is there anyone within the sound of my voice
00:10:42.620 that is thinking about the ability to have a voice of America outside of America,
00:10:52.160 some place where we can be safe and be free
00:10:57.160 and can actually get into America this point of view?
00:11:02.900 Because freedom of speech is on the ropes,
00:11:08.380 and I believe we could be,
00:11:10.820 I think we could be living in a completely different America by Christmas.
00:11:19.060 This is not hyperbole,
00:11:21.940 and I want to speak directly to those people who are living in the center of the country.
00:11:27.540 I got an email from somebody who lives in Los Angeles,
00:11:30.820 and I got the same, almost the same email from my daughter
00:11:35.780 who was up here at the ranch for the last couple of months in Idaho,
00:11:41.520 and she just went back to Dallas.
00:11:45.100 I had a guy who was up here.
00:11:47.040 He's one of my researchers.
00:11:48.520 He was up with me working on this July 2nd project,
00:11:51.900 and he was up here for about three weeks.
00:11:55.060 He had been down by, you know, St. George for about a month before that
00:12:04.200 because he lives in Los Angeles, and he got out of the city with COVID.
00:12:08.900 So this is the first time he has gotten back to L.A.
00:12:12.880 He wrote me this morning, and he said,
00:12:14.560 Glenn, maybe we're missing it.
00:12:16.620 The classic narrative is the attack on Fort Sumter kicked off the Civil War.
00:12:20.620 Yes, that is officially true, but the first violence between the North and the South,
00:12:25.380 including localized rioting and looting, started months before that.
00:12:30.320 The path to Fort Sumter wasn't quiet and peaceful,
00:12:33.280 nor was the breakout of military hostilities a surprise.
00:12:36.700 Honestly, it had been a 10-plus-year buildup,
00:12:40.300 but in the key weeks and months ahead of Sumter,
00:12:43.040 it had become very obvious it was an inevitability.
00:12:46.480 In the Civil War, or no, sorry, is the Civil War II already underway?
00:12:55.340 The other side is already fighting it.
00:12:57.300 They're using violence to overthrow the United States Constitution and the government.
00:13:01.380 Our side, the pro-USA side, sits and asks for constructive dialogue.
00:13:06.180 We kneel and apologize and give them every inch they demand.
00:13:09.860 Back then, Southern governors advocated their citizens to arm themselves.
00:13:14.080 Already, they had declared martial law in Kentucky and Virginia by the time Sumter rolled around.
00:13:20.420 Now, BLM and Antifa are walking the streets armed.
00:13:24.680 They're attacking members of Congress, attacking police.
00:13:27.320 They have taken over U.S. territory by force.
00:13:29.980 They have torn down hundreds of public monuments, local, state, and federal.
00:13:34.240 We may as well just say it.
00:13:36.360 The war is already here.
00:13:38.260 They're not protesting.
00:13:39.800 This is not civil unrest and looting.
00:13:41.800 This is not about police reform or policy changes or income inequality.
00:13:47.260 This is insurrection by anti-American Marxist forces and millions of useful idiot supporters bent on the violent overthrow of the United States of America.
00:13:57.960 There is no way to interpret the data in front of us any other way.
00:14:03.360 You may be right to stay up in Idaho, because I'm in L.A. right now, and I can't tell you the level of tension you can feel just walking around a grocery store.
00:14:15.460 It's palpable.
00:14:17.380 Such a striking difference from being in St. George or Idaho.
00:14:22.740 Politeness and civility are completely absent, even in casual interactions here.
00:14:30.140 The Marxists have already enjoyed victories over police departments.
00:14:33.520 How long before it's a National Guard weapons depot?
00:14:37.380 Fort Sumter was about claiming American cannons.
00:14:40.340 Remember?
00:14:41.020 Powder guns.
00:14:41.800 The buildup to the Civil War looked eerily similar to what we're seeing today.
00:14:47.220 Localized violent clashes and those insurrection taking up arms against official government authorities and the insurrection Southerness Democrat media fanning the flame.
00:14:58.220 The other side is already mobilized.
00:15:00.360 We're still in the denial phase.
00:15:02.280 After all, we haven't had to fight Marxists directly since 1974 in Vietnam and indirectly via the Cold War since 1989.
00:15:10.700 We might be a bit rusty.
00:15:12.720 Now they are in our midst, our sons, our daughters, our neighbors, and we're paralyzed because the implications of what we're facing are horrifying.
00:15:22.100 But they just might be real.
00:15:24.980 My daughter wrote to me yesterday and said, Dad, I think I want to come back up.
00:15:30.040 It is tense here.
00:15:32.000 It doesn't feel the same.
00:15:34.960 I want you to know, for those of you who are out there like I am right now, you're not in one of the major cities.
00:15:44.640 It is different there.
00:15:47.240 It is.
00:15:48.360 I am in this small town right now in Idaho that just feels the same.
00:15:55.120 And you're watching things on TV and it's still disconnected from you.
00:16:00.440 It doesn't feel that way in the major cities.
00:16:04.340 I share this with you because we have got to wake up, stand up, stand together and know exactly what we believe.
00:16:22.820 What I said earlier about the blaze.
00:16:25.660 Thank God.
00:16:27.540 I mean it.
00:16:29.200 Thank God for the blaze.
00:16:31.880 Thank God for the things that he has told other individuals to do and they have done it.
00:16:37.840 Thank God for those individuals for having the wherewithal to do those things when it didn't make any sense at all.
00:16:48.120 I don't know what he's doing, but he is doing something profound and we all must stand in our place that he is directing us.
00:16:58.720 And that is always a place of love and honor and integrity.
00:17:04.940 Always.
00:17:10.860 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:18.440 All right.
00:17:19.240 I know what you're thinking.
00:17:20.280 People ask me all the time.
00:17:21.360 Glenn, how on earth do you maintain that unbelievably handsome figure?
00:17:25.740 Well, it's not easy to have a body like this.
00:17:28.640 I start at 4 a.m. by running two miles.
00:17:30.660 Then I bike back.
00:17:32.060 Do, I don't know, 750 crunches.
00:17:34.200 Finish the morning with hours of hot yoga.
00:17:37.520 Okay, obviously I don't do any of that.
00:17:39.240 What I usually do is sit my fat butt down on the couch at night and I eat a bowl of ice cream.
00:17:44.140 Because I really have a sweet tooth.
00:17:46.440 And my wife has been saying to me for a while,
00:17:48.220 You gotta try these Bilt Bars.
00:17:49.740 It's like you're eating a candy bar.
00:17:51.360 And I'm like, no it's not.
00:17:52.760 Are they protein bars?
00:17:53.780 Yeah.
00:17:54.180 Yeah, well that's like eating the doormat.
00:17:56.620 Okay.
00:17:56.980 And then I got desperate.
00:17:57.940 I went into her stash and I actually had one.
00:17:59.940 Then I begged Bilt Bars to become a sponsor.
00:18:02.700 Because it's like eating a candy bar.
00:18:04.720 The coconut cream or mint brownie is mind-boggling.
00:18:08.640 Go to BiltBar.com.

00:18:17.300 Just don't tell my wife I told you.
00:18:18.360 You know, we've got to get Carly Fiorina on because she just came out and she said she's voting for Joe Biden because we just can't have Donald Trump in office anymore. 1.00
00:18:30.420 And I don't know what the hell she's even thinking.
00:18:32.440 I mean, here she was somebody that was for Cruz.
00:18:38.660 And now with what we're facing with Marxism, what?
00:18:45.260 Stephen Moore is with us now.
00:18:47.300 Do you understand that, Stephen?
00:18:49.300 That Carly Fiorina would? 1.00
00:18:51.820 Yeah.
00:18:52.400 Hey.
00:18:53.560 That's crazy.
00:18:55.320 I was, before I got started working with Donald Trump back in late 2015, I was actually advising Carly on the economy.
00:19:04.060 I like Carly a lot personally.
00:19:05.820 I think she's lost her mind.
00:19:07.520 I think that Joe Biden would, you know, my son who's 20 and he was talking to me this weekend and he's saying, you know, Dad, this will be the first time I vote.
00:19:17.240 And he said, you know, I'm having a tough time here.
00:19:19.180 He said, if I vote for, you know, Donald Trump, we're going to have four years of chaos and rioting in the streets.
00:19:24.520 And he said, if I vote for Joe Biden, we're going to have four years of a Great Depression.
00:19:27.920 And I said, well, that might be the choice.
00:19:30.980 But there is no question about the second.
00:19:33.220 If Joe Biden is elected president, Glenn, and he puts in place and you've got Nancy Pelosi, a speaker, we will have a second Great Depression.
00:19:41.000 There is no doubt in my mind.
00:19:42.380 The left is when it comes to economics, they want to raise taxes.
00:19:46.640 They want to get rid of American energy.
00:19:48.020 They want to raise entitlements.
00:19:50.000 They want reparation payments.
00:19:51.440 They want trillions of dollars in new entitlements.
00:19:53.680 It will destroy the American economy.
00:19:55.880 So for someone like Carly, who is a great CEO, a Hewlett Packard, has a good understanding of the economy to say that I would vote for Joe Biden.
00:20:04.240 I don't get it.
00:20:05.000 I don't get the logic behind that.
00:20:06.680 It must be personal.
00:20:09.120 I don't know.
00:20:10.520 I don't know.
00:20:11.580 Let me let me switch topics.
00:20:13.760 So I want to talk to you about tech.
00:20:14.940 All right, let me just say one thing about this.
00:20:19.420 There are a lot of people who don't like Donald Trump.
00:20:22.240 I like Donald Trump, but I mean, I know a lot of people do not like Donald Trump.
00:20:27.560 It's not about his personality, folks.
00:20:29.680 It's not about his personality or even his behavior.
00:20:31.800 It's about who can get this economy back on its feet and who can lead us out of this crisis we're in.
00:20:40.680 And anyone who actually thinks that Joe Biden would be better for the American economy than Donald Trump, I personally think, needs to have their head examined.
00:20:47.840 Well, they're not.
00:20:49.660 First of all, the the left is controlling this.
00:20:54.360 I mean, black lives matter.
00:20:56.200 I did a special last night, Stephen, that the that should put the press in in some sort of constitutional prison because of their unwillingness to tell the truth.
00:21:09.760 This is all well financed by the left and by the Democratic operatives, and it's it's stunning how right out there it is.
00:21:21.760 These guys are part of this.
00:21:24.240 If you then give them the the White House and the the Congress, they're going to give away the store.
00:21:34.600 They'll have to because they're beholden to them.
00:21:38.400 You have more chaos.
00:21:40.420 You lose America.
00:21:41.940 Forget about a depression.
00:21:43.320 You lose America.
00:21:45.200 I think that's right.
00:21:46.400 I think that's right.
00:21:47.040 By the way, the people leaders of black lives matter anything black people. 0.58
00:21:50.040 I mean, this is an anarchist organization that hates America, hates our Constitution.
00:21:56.880 That's why they want to, you know, they want to erase our history as a nation.
00:22:00.860 I mean, here we're a week away from July 4th, our Independence Day.
00:22:04.520 And, you know, sorry, but why is it if we are such a racist country that every single, you know, Hispanic and blacks all over the world want to come to the United States? 0.85
00:22:13.660 Stephen, help me out on I think we are in real, real trouble, especially if the Democrats win.
00:22:26.080 The voices of conservatives are going to be lost.
00:22:29.500 It's why I built the blaze, because I was I foresaw all of this stuff coming.
00:22:36.080 And I was just wrong on timing, but it's just about what I used to say, Glenn is over the top.
00:22:43.560 I mean, he's he's too much of a conspiratorialist.
00:22:45.780 And I have to say, I was wrong.
00:22:47.100 You were you saw it coming.
00:22:48.940 I didn't think that these people are that crazy.
00:22:51.460 But, you know, I have to tip my hat to you.
00:22:54.400 I doubted you.
00:22:55.400 I thought, well, Glenn's going over the top here, you know, but now I look at the actions of these people.
00:23:00.180 They are nuts.
00:23:00.900 They are the most lunatic ideas that would have been laughed at three or four years ago are now mainstream liberal.
00:23:09.840 I mean, my goodness, they want to tear down the statues of Grant, of Jefferson, of Washington, of Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill.
00:23:16.880 Some of the greatest people who walked on the planet are somehow racist or bigots or, you know, by the way, you know, you are winning an argument with the left.
00:23:26.800 This is Moore's rule.
00:23:27.620 OK, Glenn, you know, you are winning an argument with the left when they resort to calling you a racist because they've run out of arguments.
00:23:34.100 So they just, you know, resort to, oh, you're a racist.
00:23:39.380 Well, now I don't know if you saw, but there is the same group of people are now taking on Facebook and they are saying you have to hunt down racist and you have to start banning them, demonetizing them and silencing them more than they already are.
00:23:55.200 And this is of grave concern of mine.
00:23:59.320 And on top of it, the right.
00:24:02.160 And I know you just wrote an article for Fox on this.
00:24:05.160 The right is coming out and saying, well, we should we should regulate them.
00:24:11.100 That's the worst idea we could do.
00:24:13.800 Yeah, I am so glad that you and I are of like mind on this, Glenn, because, you know, a lot of our conservative friends, you know, think that was crazy that I wrote that article.
00:24:23.980 Now, let me kind of state my position.
00:24:26.000 First of all, do I think that Google and Amazon and Facebook and Twitter have left wing, you know, biases?
00:24:34.460 And do I think that they give 90 percent of their money to Democrats?
00:24:37.760 Yes, they do.
00:24:38.400 And do I agree with their political positions?
00:24:41.140 No, I don't.
00:24:42.000 I think they they are taking them, you know, they're arming a lot of people who are opposed to our conservative ideas.
00:24:48.280 So they do discriminate against conservatives.
00:24:50.480 I'm not denying that one bit.
00:24:51.980 What I'm saying is that the Internet, first of all, if it had not been for our great technology companies and, you know, whether you like the politics of Google or Apple or Amazon, they're amazing companies.
00:25:03.520 There are trillion dollar companies that are leading the world.
00:25:06.380 And the only people who will benefit if we take down Amazon and Google and Facebook and, you know, companies like Apple and Microsoft are the Chinese. 1.00
00:25:16.740 I mean, China is behind this plot to try to break up high tech because they want companies like Huawei and TikTok and others to take the supreme position that we now have.
00:25:29.560 That's point number one.
00:25:30.600 Point number two, we never could have even gotten through this crisis of the last three months had it not been for our amazing technology companies.
00:25:36.380 Not just the big five, but thousands and thousands of innovative technology companies that made it possible for us to to continue with our with our work.
00:25:45.740 For many of us, you know, from our homes or remotely, it's just been an amazing thing.
00:25:51.380 And so let's not punish companies for being successful.
00:25:55.480 I hate that idea.
00:25:56.360 So here's what has to happen, though.
00:26:01.580 I mean, they are becoming more powerful than the government.
00:26:05.240 I don't know who's more powerful and the Constitution does not apply to them.
00:26:11.640 It only applies to the government.
00:26:13.200 And I don't think the one thing I can say, I don't think our founders ever considered corporations being more powerful than the king or the government.
00:26:23.120 And so there is really no protection against them.
00:26:27.480 They can do whatever they want.
00:26:29.000 They can silence whoever they want.
00:26:31.220 We have to give stop giving them special protection.
00:26:35.280 They they have all the rights that are afforded to any company, but they shouldn't be receiving any special rights or any special protections from the government.
00:26:45.760 I certainly agree with that, you know, and I would say this, though, that, you know, you and I have talked before about this.
00:26:51.960 The worst president, I think I wonder if you still believe this, but I believe that the worst president in American history was Woodrow Wilson, who gave us.
00:27:00.060 Can't shake me from that train.
00:27:02.280 Yeah.
00:27:02.600 And so, you know, so Woodrow Wilson was the one who was behind all these quote.
00:27:06.500 People forget this.
00:27:07.660 What we're seeing now is only the second radical progressive movement.
00:27:11.080 The first progressive movement was during the period of Roosevelt and and Woodrow Wilson.
00:27:17.300 And Wilson was the one who basically took and tried to break up all of America's great company.
00:27:23.000 There is a mythology in history.
00:27:24.720 People are not learning the right American history.
00:27:27.800 Glenn, you know, this, the idea that Henry Ford and John D.
00:27:31.400 Rockefeller and Carnegie and these amazing, amazing Americans who built this country are robber barons is crazy.
00:27:40.420 I mean, it's a day of the people who built the railroads, build our energy industry, build our banking system and made America the great country that we are.
00:27:48.300 Henry Ford is how is Henry Ford a robber barons?
00:27:51.640 He provided half of our country with automobiles.
00:27:54.980 So my point is, you've got if you've got companies that are giving things that people want, how can Google be a monopoly?
00:28:02.060 Google doesn't cost me anything.
00:28:03.960 I can go on Google and find any information I want for zero.
00:28:07.400 They don't even charge me for it.
00:28:08.780 I mean, how is that raising prices on consumers?
00:28:11.320 How is that monopoly behavior?
00:28:14.300 Well, they can put out, you know, the I hear from a lot of businesses that say, you know, like Amazon, they take your product.
00:28:25.060 Then they make a product like it and they put you out of business.
00:28:28.560 You know, there are complaints like that.
00:28:31.440 And Google has a Google has a monopoly because they have the ability to buy anybody.
00:28:38.400 And so no one can come against them.
00:28:42.420 That's what you're saying, Glenn, is that they're too successful.
00:28:45.480 And, you know, look, I mean, there's no such thing as being a company being too successful.
00:28:50.620 We have five companies in America today that are trillion dollar companies, or at least they were before the financial this financial crisis.
00:28:57.860 And, you know, think about every American as a shareholder in these companies.
00:29:01.820 Every American is, you know, they employ hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people.
00:29:07.460 I don't know.
00:29:08.240 I don't find that to be a problem.
00:29:09.540 And by the way, if you don't like what Google is doing or Facebook, I don't have a Facebook account.
00:29:14.740 Did you know that, Glenn?
00:29:15.600 Because I don't like Facebook.
00:29:17.100 You know, I don't trust them.
00:29:20.100 But nobody puts a gun to your hand and says you have to have a Twitter account or that you have to have a Facebook account or that you have to have a Facebook account.
00:29:24.820 If there's Google, if you don't like them, don't use them.
00:29:27.340 And incidentally, I guarantee you, Glenn, when you and I are talking five or six years from now, there's going to be other companies that are going to displace these companies from the top, you know, from the top of the heap.
00:29:37.020 That's capitalism.
00:29:39.540 I'm not sure I believe that.
00:29:41.960 I don't think anybody's going to dethrone Google in five years.
00:29:46.500 I just don't think so.
00:29:47.420 With the algorithms that is coming and AI, I mean, I think you and I disagree on the dangers of AI, but I'm telling you I'm right on this one, too.
00:29:58.100 The AI is going to change everything.
00:30:01.120 And it's mind control possibilities of AI are going to change absolutely everything, Stephen.
00:30:14.800 I mean, and I don't want the government to have all of that power.
00:30:20.680 I don't want Google to have all that power.
00:30:24.280 I don't know how to get rid of it, but we have got to think out of the box here and we will agree on one thing.
00:30:31.280 Stop giving Google special protection and Facebook and everybody else and don't regulate.
00:30:40.060 If you regulate, that will they have all the money in the world to buy all the regulation that they want and they will regulate it in their favor.
00:30:50.080 And then we're really screwed, really screwed.
00:30:52.920 That's why we have the big three automakers and we put great companies like Auburn out of business.
00:31:00.720 I'm with you completely there.
00:31:02.660 And, you know, I think that when we remember it wasn't so long ago that the Internet was really getting going.
00:31:08.760 And what made America the supreme power is, you see, I just see this as a bit of a more nationalistic thing.
00:31:14.740 Thank God that Google and Facebook and Amazon and Apple are American companies, not Chinese companies or German companies. 0.62
00:31:21.780 I mean, these other countries would love to have companies like ours.
00:31:25.160 And in fact, they're the ones who are saying that they're monopolies.
00:31:27.560 They're trying to tax our companies.
00:31:29.440 I think we have to stand up for American companies.
00:31:31.800 But I also think we need competition.
00:31:34.260 And that's the magic of the free enterprise system is somebody else can come along and create a new, you know, a better mousetrap.
00:31:41.720 And the other thing is, you are so right.
00:31:44.700 What happens, this is the course of history.
00:31:47.380 What happens over time, folks, is that the regulated control the regulators.
00:31:53.520 And so it becomes a game.
00:31:55.020 And they stop all competition.
00:31:57.640 Yes, they're protecting the incumbent powers rather than the little guy on the street that's coming by to try to, you know, that's why big business tends to support regulation.
00:32:07.680 All right.
00:32:08.360 Stephen Moore, thank you so much.
00:32:09.800 Appreciate your time.
00:32:16.360 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:32:20.860 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:32:22.900 David Horowitz is a good friend of the program.
00:32:26.500 I discovered him through his book, Radical Son.
00:32:29.440 Also, his really amazing work on something called Discover the Networks.
00:32:34.580 If you want to understand how the left works, Discover the Networks is one of the most important tools on the Internet today.
00:32:42.840 David Horowitz joins us.
00:32:44.220 He's the author of a new book called Blitz.
00:32:46.280 Trump will smash the left and win.
00:32:49.640 Blitz by David Horowitz.
00:32:53.080 David.
00:32:53.520 David, can you believe we're here at this point?
00:32:57.880 You believe we're here, David?
00:33:00.080 You know, I've been warning about this for 30 years, but I always hope you're wrong.
00:33:06.260 I know that's been one of the hardest.
00:33:09.660 That's been one of the hardest things when it started to happen, because you've been warning for 30.
00:33:14.340 I've been warning for about 15.
00:33:16.200 And you always hoped.
00:33:19.000 I mean, I had this hope that I was wrong.
00:33:21.380 And now that it's here, it's let me start with this question, David, before we get in the book.
00:33:27.820 What is the thing that the left is afraid of?
00:33:31.340 What should we do?
00:33:32.660 Because I know they want violence.
00:33:35.420 What should we do?
00:33:36.900 What would be the thing that they would be like, oh, crap, not that?
00:33:39.980 Yeah, I would like to see 100 Republican legislators refer to the Democratic Party as a racist party, as a seditious party, as a totalitarian party, and treat them not quite as badly as they treat Republicans.
00:34:00.680 You know, I mean, we have Nancy Pelosi accusing the Republicans of murdering this guy, George Floyd.
00:34:10.040 We don't even know.
00:34:11.860 This is such a hoax, this race thing. 1.00
00:34:14.500 We don't even know that there was any racial element involved in the killing of the, oh, we don't even know how he died.
00:34:24.820 There hasn't been an investigation.
00:34:27.320 There hasn't been a trial.
00:34:28.980 Four guys, four cops are accused of murder, of murdering George Floyd.
00:34:36.960 One of them is African American, another is Asian American.
00:34:40.660 How is there a racial element involved there?
00:34:43.640 And we could go through all of these cases.
00:34:46.100 But you and I both know, David, you and I both know that this is just an excuse.
00:34:52.280 This is this is so well planned and coordinated with Black Lives Matter, which is not a charity.
00:34:59.540 It is a it's a corporation and a global corporation.
00:35:04.360 That's why this is happening all over the world.
00:35:06.760 This was very well planned.
00:35:08.380 Fidel Castro communists and their money doesn't go to black people.
00:35:15.360 All the millions or hundreds of millions they raise goes to the Democrat Party, which is totally in their pocket.
00:35:22.960 I think the Democrat Party would collapse the way it has on this.
00:35:29.100 You know, there were signs with putting the ill hand Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee where she has top security clearance. 1.00
00:35:36.100 But I have to say, even I was shocked by this.
00:35:43.160 So, David, 30 or 40 years.
00:35:46.980 I know.
00:35:48.100 Like yours used to do these lectures on Fox.
00:35:54.740 You know, everybody was calling them liberals.
00:35:59.200 And so they were, you know, participants in our society instead of enemies of it.
00:36:07.100 Well, they it was just a few years ago.
00:36:09.640 It was racist to call anybody a Marxist.
00:36:11.720 But now all of the Marxists are coming out and saying it and doing exactly what I said.
00:36:18.040 They would they would take the mask off.
00:36:19.660 They were waiting to tell you, yes, I'm a Marxist and your system is ugly and will destroy it.
00:36:25.280 David, give me some hope here.
00:36:27.480 It's the best thing that would happen, though, is they they have come out of the closet in a way too big a way.
00:36:38.100 Most Americans, you know, they don't unfortunately listen to the blaze.
00:36:45.960 They don't read Discover the Networks or all the books I've written on the left.
00:36:51.520 But this is dramatized what a menace they are.
00:36:56.460 They're a threat to everybody.
00:36:59.360 They're gangsters.
00:37:00.660 They're criminals.
00:37:02.300 And like I say, I just wish the Republican Party was speaking with the same voice that Trump does.
00:37:08.740 And he's a little bit has his hands tied in a way because he's the president and so you can't leave it to one man alone to fight this battle.
00:37:21.560 I mean, we have so but not enough.
00:37:24.980 David, David, give me give me why you say in your book that Trump will smash the left and win.
00:37:32.980 And tell me what he should be doing today, because there's a lot of people now saying, you know, Joe Biden, you know, at least the chaos will stop with Joe Biden.
00:37:43.020 It'll be more chaos with Donald Trump.
00:37:45.180 Joe Biden.
00:37:46.260 Yeah, I know.
00:37:48.840 I know.
00:37:49.580 So what should Trump be doing right now?
00:37:53.120 My book is a guide to the civil war.
00:37:56.960 It shows how the Democrats have weaponized race, virtually predicted what's happening now.
00:38:08.160 But it also shows why Trump, despite being the most vilified, slandered and libeled human being in all history, has been able to prevail. 0.76
00:38:18.500 And right now, when I look at him, I, you know, they're keeping their powder dry at the White House.
00:38:28.020 He has to.
00:38:28.960 He can't come out.
00:38:30.040 Well, he actually has, you know, at the Tulsa speech.
00:38:33.480 You know, Joe Biden is a puppet for these criminals.
00:38:37.600 Right.
00:38:38.340 He's been pretty good.
00:38:40.660 But I think they're saving, saving it for the campaign.
00:38:44.580 And, you know, it's so easy to write the TV ads that they will put out.
00:38:51.720 And because the left has been so, well, I've always said the left knows, never knows when to stop.
00:38:59.360 And so they've exposed themselves in ways that they don't quite have the resources to fight at this point.
00:39:07.980 David, we have only a few minutes left.
00:39:11.080 Give me a week.
00:39:12.140 It's been an hour on Chapter 2, Divide, Sabotage, and Resist.
00:39:15.940 You outlined the nine biggest dangers to America the left poses.
00:39:21.060 Can you give me, just give me the one that you think is the biggest that people are not really paying attention to or don't understand?
00:39:29.640 Well, in their heads, they are enemies.
00:39:34.100 It's the title of my next book, The Enemy Within, that I actually wrote a year ago.
00:39:42.920 But they're enemies of America.
00:39:45.520 They want to destroy America.
00:39:47.620 I think they made that pretty clear, if you paid any attention to what their leaders say and to what they do.
00:39:55.120 And the Democrats, you know, have provided them cover, funding.
00:40:01.880 Well, you know, you look, you have Nancy Pelosi accusing Republicans of being murderers.
00:40:06.900 They've accused, they're running on Trump is responsible for all the deaths in the coronavirus.
00:40:14.080 Trump doesn't have any control over the health care systems.
00:40:17.260 It's all run at the state levels.
00:40:18.760 And all the worst states, surprise, surprise, are Democrats states. 0.66
00:40:23.360 What I think that Trump will prevail is, first of all, Americans aren't stupid.
00:40:33.020 You know, they can look at these mobs, and Democrats can say all they want, that they're peaceful protesters.
00:40:39.840 But anybody who's watched what is going on in Lafayette Square knows that if it weren't for the National Guard there, they would climb the White House fence and burn the White House.
00:40:51.700 That's their agenda, burn it down.
00:40:54.940 You know, I thought what Alinsky actually said in his infamous book, that the 60s leftists were right to burn it down.
00:41:04.660 In the 60s, the left used to say the cops are the occupying army in the inner cities.
00:41:12.660 It's the Democrats that are the occupiers of the inner cities.
00:41:17.740 My book Blitz starts off with why was Donald Trump, who for 30 years was a major public figure, everybody knew who Donald Trump was.
00:41:30.060 Nobody was calling him a white supremacist, except maybe Al Sharpton.
00:41:37.960 So why did they call him a white supremacist before he even got into power?
00:41:44.480 And the answer is, he was a threat to their dirty little secret.
00:41:49.000 They have a major scandal to hide, which is the Democrats, I've said this on your show before,
00:41:55.720 where they control every major inner city in America, every killing field, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, 100%, and have for 50 to 100 years.
00:42:09.440 So everything that's, there isn't a Republican in sight in Minneapolis, or any of these cities.
00:42:15.560 All these mayors are left-wing racists.
00:42:18.040 The fact that they're black, usually, doesn't absolve them from being racist, unless you've drunk the left-wing Kool-Aid. 0.99
00:42:28.340 Kool-Aid.
00:42:29.260 I think that only whites... 0.99
00:42:30.460 Which is a phrase, drink the Kool-Aid, a phrase that came from Jim Jones, which was a Marxist Democrat that had everybody drink the Kool-Aid.
00:42:42.320 Well, I know it's by Derek Sherman, apparently, the one who killed George Floyd, insofar as he killed him.
00:42:51.980 This was a police procedure, it didn't kill people, but if you have COVID-19, as he did, and you were higher in fentanyl, which, in fact, you'll know it's a lie.
00:43:02.800 Right.
00:43:05.120 Nothing that Sherman could have known.
00:43:08.100 Yeah.
00:43:09.460 David, go ahead, quickly.
00:43:11.940 Yeah, Trump said, remember he gave a speech in Michigan during the campaign, what have you got to lose?
00:43:20.260 He said to the black community, your schools are rotten, you've got crime off the charts, you don't have any jobs.
00:43:27.340 That's because of the Democrats.
00:43:30.720 And they understood that, and that's why they call them a white supremacist.
00:43:35.680 David Horowitz from the Horowitz Freedom Center, he is the author of the new book, Blitz, Trump will smash the left and win.
00:43:45.540 David is a national treasure, I believe.
00:43:48.380 He is one of the bravest guys.
00:43:50.820 He was a radical communist back in the 60s.
00:43:54.600 He found what the real intent was, was not to make things better, but just to control America.
00:44:01.980 He got out, became very outspoken, and has had a very difficult life because of it.
00:44:10.160 But he has never, ever sat down.
00:44:13.600 A true national treasure, David Horowitz, the name of the book is Blitz.
00:44:17.780 Trump will smash the left and win.
00:44:20.560 It's available everywhere now.
00:44:21.920 Na na na na na.
