00:01:49.380
did you see the president's press conference yesterday oh it was
00:01:58.180
here he is um talking about what a complex situation russia is cut one please
00:02:05.240
well what was the second part okay the diplomacy of this moment no i don't think it does you know
00:02:12.780
uh the uh uh the fact is that we're in a situation where uh okay um yeah it complicates
00:02:20.600
the situation oh moment is the uh the escalatory okay efforts of putin what to uh continue and
00:02:27.940
engage in carnage the kind of behavior that uh that makes the whole world say my god what is this
00:02:34.800
man doing yeah that's what complicates things a great deal and uh what um but i i don't think
00:02:40.320
it complicates at all okay all right so it complicates it but it doesn't really complicate
00:02:45.180
it at all yeah his actions don't complicate things at all not no at all i wish people is not saying
00:02:52.800
that uh here he is uh cut three are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start
00:03:01.060
to doubt that america is back if some of these big things that you say on the world stage keep
00:03:07.700
getting walked back they're not much getting walked back sound like just in the last few days
00:03:13.540
uh it sounded like you told u.s troops they were going to ukraine it sounded like you said it was
00:03:18.880
possible the u.s would use a chemical weapon and it sounded like you were calling for regime
00:03:24.260
change in russia and we know none of the three occurred so when you said you're going to see
00:03:30.880
when you're there you were not intending i was referring to with beating with and talking with
00:03:36.520
the uh ukrainian troops that were in poland and when you said a chemical weapon use by russia would
00:03:42.440
trigger a response in kind it will trigger a significant response what does that mean i'm not
00:03:48.680
going to tell you why would i tell you you gotta be silly in kind has a meaning the world wants to
00:03:53.680
know the world wants to know a lot of things i'm not telling them what the response would be then
00:03:57.300
then russia knows the response you did tell them what the response would be you said in kind that's
00:04:01.280
what that's what it means it's not just a collection of words they mean things that's what words do
00:04:06.560
no words are violent i want to know where in poland are we seeing women and children
00:04:17.300
standing up to tanks where is that happening in poland no he's dead he was referring to here let
00:04:24.520
me play please play cut two please i was talking to the troops we're talking about helping train
00:04:32.240
the troops in that are the the ukrainian troops that are in poland okay got it he was training the
00:04:40.880
ukrainian troops was he talking to that were in poland right which is not something anyone knew
00:04:47.040
until this press conference another massive gaffe well they're walking it back they're walking it
00:04:55.400
back no they're not walking it back they're not they walk it back he says something yeah the media
00:05:00.960
spends multiple days going through a cycle with the press office where they tell the media hey we got
00:05:07.140
to walk this back here's what we needed to come out they dutifully go along with it and then when
00:05:12.120
they ask the president about it he says i'm not walking anything back right whenever this happened
00:05:16.500
this stuff happened with trump they complained about it constantly and said it was the most
00:05:19.520
unprofessional thing you could possibly imagine and it happens every day with biden and no one cares
00:05:23.760
and it's kind of big things here he is cut four do you believe what you said that putin can't
00:05:30.480
remain in power or do you now regret saying that because your government has been trying to walk
00:05:35.640
that back did your words complicate matters well you asked three different questions i'll answer
00:05:41.180
them all number one i'm not walking anything back the fact of the matter is i was expressing the more
00:05:46.260
outrage i felt toward the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man just just brutality
00:05:53.840
half the children in ukraine i just come from being with those families and uh and so but i want to
00:06:02.240
make it clear i wasn't then nor am i now articulating a policy change i was expressing the moral outrage
00:06:08.060
that i feel and i make no apologies for it that's not okay as president my personal feeling oh okay so
00:06:14.640
it's just his personal feeling wait when does that become an okay thing to do uh when you're president
00:06:19.300
in the united states you don't just blurt out your personal feelings almost all of your job is to not
00:06:26.180
say your personal feelings and instead articulate policy change what do you mean almost all your job
00:06:32.340
that is your like your responsibility and when you're making a speech on foreign soil about a
00:06:39.100
foreign conflict that you keep saying you're more involved in than our official policy right and then
00:06:45.800
you make statements about uh what could be i mean certainly everyone in the world remembers previous wars
00:06:52.720
where we've had regime change as our goal you come out here and you say you can't they cannot stay in
00:06:58.900
power egypt hmm iraq yeah there's a lot of examples afghanistan yeah other than that other than that
00:07:05.720
like we have to go way back like you're the job of the president would be a lot easier if you could
00:07:11.140
just blurt out whatever you wanted whenever you wanted with no consequences sure you know you know
00:07:15.020
who does hear you uh when you say things like that the guy that has 6 000 nuclear weapons hears you
00:07:20.620
no no no no no no no listen let's get some perspective from from don lemon who's strangely
00:07:28.960
still on the air listen to this the president is saying exactly what most of the world feels about
00:07:36.140
vladimir putin so what he did not in that speech say that vladimir putin should be removed or we're
00:07:41.840
going to take him out of power he said this man should not remain in power what person in their
00:07:47.700
right mind thinks that someone who bombs innocent people children a country that is under an unprovoked
00:07:55.160
war right should remain in power right this is not the other side of that so i think that we should
00:08:00.900
do something to take him out of office that would be a different thing general hurtling on our air that
00:08:05.320
evening said the same thing yeah quite honestly i think this this is a media manufactured story see
00:08:11.660
okay so stop this is the media just saying this is a big deal that russia isn't taking that in this
00:08:19.840
way they're just expressing their feelings uh let me give you this from the kremlin uh retaliatory visa
00:08:28.060
measures are being developed in russia for citizens from unfriendly nations according to sergey lavarov
00:08:34.260
who said on march 28th as a another top kremlin official said u.s president joe biden's recent comments
00:08:41.340
are cause for concern during his public comments lavarov did uh did not provide details about the
00:08:48.720
countries that would be targeted although he did single out the united states and its allies
00:08:53.580
uh additionally a draft uh a draft presidential decree is currently being developed on retaliatory
00:09:00.660
visa measures in connection with the unfriendly actions of a number of foreign states
00:09:05.580
um this act will introduce a number of restrictions on entry to the territory of russia some member
00:09:12.680
some measures are being developed to respond to the unfriendly actions by the united states and its
00:09:17.400
satellite satellites it comes as the kremlin issued more statements following biden's speech last week
00:09:24.560
in poland where he said this man cannot stay in power these statements are certainly causing us grave
00:09:33.160
concern said the kremlin spokesperson we continue to closely monitor the statements of the u.s president
00:09:39.800
we carefully note them and will continue to do so now i'm not sure if anybody at cnn or anyone in the
00:09:48.600
white house no but when you talk to your intelligence uh people they will come in with a briefing and
00:09:58.720
you're going up against war or you're going into a meeting and you'll have all of the experts on let's
00:10:05.220
say that president that you don't know for sure they're experts because they've listened to every word
00:10:13.340
they have looked at every action and they say this is what he's thinking this is what he may mean
00:10:22.000
this is what you have to worry about this is who the guy is so when the president of the united states
00:10:29.800
speaks here there's a group of people all around the world that are not on our side that look and
00:10:38.360
evaluate everything he's saying so when you know putin goes so is this like old lady actually threatening
00:10:48.600
me mr president we don't know for sure but he was talking about possibly the troops going in to
00:10:57.980
ukraine we're not sure what that meant he's now talking about what could be perceived as regime change
00:11:05.580
he also admitted that they were training ukrainian troops yeah i would say that he's on a different
00:11:12.640
wavelength that's what happens yeah i mean like we think of the things that vladimir putin has said
00:11:18.260
that we keep quoting like you know the the the war will be with ones and zeros right that's not
00:11:24.140
an official statement of policy but we take it damn seriously and when he said we must reconstitute the
00:11:31.440
soviet union it was the it was the the fall was the greatest uh tragedy tragedy of history in the
00:11:37.460
past century we take that seriously and look at that as his motivation they're doing the same thing
00:11:42.060
over there with every one of these gaffes this guy is going to gaffe us into world war three
00:11:47.420
he is literally in the middle of gaffing us into getting nuked i really don't think that these are
00:11:53.340
gaffes i will really think no no no listen what he just said what he just said no that was my personal
00:12:00.080
feeling okay well personal feelings become policies yeah when you are the commander in chief of the
00:12:09.420
military yes right so when he says things like i mean it's only reasonable this may not be what he's
00:12:15.780
doing but it is only reasonable if you are assessing someone you look at what they say look at what they
00:12:23.000
do look at the sanctions that we've just put on they are unlike any other sanctions ever ever then he
00:12:31.420
says we're in a long war people should brace for years of war okay what does that mean then he says
00:12:41.980
all of these things out loud i these i was just thinking no you read it wrong well there's going to
00:12:48.460
be a lot of people that read it long wrong and they might have nuclear weapons can you imagine if we
00:12:56.340
had look at this vladimir putin comes out and says hey you know what what look would this this joe
00:13:01.820
biden guy cannot stay in power can you imagine what a serious moment that would be we found like four
00:13:07.920
facebook ads that say they wanted to screw with our elections and it was an international incident
00:13:14.700
that lasted multiple years in an impeachment exactly right and look at what putin said in response to
00:13:20.660
this speech putin came out yesterday and started talking about how the united states is trying to
00:13:27.480
erase all history and culture russian culture from the west okay well that can you imagine reverse this
00:13:39.040
situation imagine if that was happening to us and our president said they're trying to erase us
00:13:44.960
from history all of our accomplishments all of our cultural uh you know we're getting rid of gershwin
00:13:52.620
we're getting rid of you know uncle tom's cabin we're getting rid of all of american culture
00:13:59.820
i don't know i would think the people would rally around that president who said we got to fight this
00:14:08.200
because they're erasing us of course we would that's what we just handed him
00:14:14.300
oh and by the way they're also trying to take me out there's a coup against me i'm not worried about
00:14:21.080
that i'm just staying focused on what we have to do because i'm here for the america that has changed
00:14:29.580
the world you think you think the people are going to support which one which one tell me which one
00:14:37.180
they're going to support the president against the enemy that is saying crap like we're saying
00:14:43.640
and i'm telling you the president has feelings and his feelings he doesn't understand the difference
00:14:52.580
between his inside voice and his outside voice but your inside voice is really important if you're president
00:14:59.420
but if you express that on your outside voice it's very logical to assume that your inside
00:15:07.120
voice is what you're telling others inside of secret rooms with secret meetings
00:15:12.980
hey did you hear that um roman obama what was his name abramovich the guy who owns the
00:15:21.580
chelsea club yeah um he's uh one of the guys who's you know negotiating for peace
00:15:27.820
and might have been poisoned might have been poisoned uh we don't know if this is true this is wall
00:15:36.340
street journal new york times everybody's reporting this i don't know if it's true or not uh they
00:15:42.220
couldn't get a sample from him fast enough so they can't find out if he really was poisoned uh but he
00:15:49.600
attended the peace talks in turkey um he he was in the peace talks he came out he and the guy on his
00:15:58.400
staff were very very sick there i think their hands peeled um their parts of their faces peeled
00:16:06.320
it was not not good not good um there were people reporting this the same people that have reported
00:16:12.840
other poisonings as well and they seem to believe that this was not an attempt to kill them but an
00:16:20.700
attempt to scare them yeah he is he is an oligarch that is no longer in russia and he has been outspoken
00:16:29.260
um against the war and he's trying to be a go-between with russia and ukraine and the idea is i can get you
00:16:40.640
anywhere anywhere be careful on what you're doing uh i would i would think that would you know send a very
00:16:47.920
strong message uh there because he's done it before but is this true i don't know i don't know
00:16:57.540
because i don't know i i'm not convinced that uh that our press is telling us the truth i mean how
00:17:05.080
long did it take them to talk about joe biden's son hunter biden and are they really even telling you
00:17:11.520
the truth now are they even making this about how the president is compromised or is this just about
00:17:16.480
his drug use and his sex which which is it i i don't know if you can trust our mainstream media
00:17:25.260
at all on this i'd like to but i'd be an idiot to do it so i don't know what the truth is on this but
00:17:35.960
i do know the truth on the president's new budget we'll go over that in just a second stand by
00:17:45.940
also there is a podcast that i really want you to hear it's not a blaze podcast it's honestly by
00:17:52.080
barry weiss she has david sachs on and if you have any questions about the great reset you have any
00:17:59.520
questions about cancel culture you have any questions at all of how your finances are going
00:18:05.360
to be controlled david sachs is is a high-tech guy i mean he helped start all this stuff and he
00:18:11.360
realized we've created a monster he explains how the cancel culture and what is coming with your
00:18:17.940
finances and everything else it's all the details of the great reset without calling it the great
00:18:25.260
this is the best of the glenn beck program and don't forget rate us on itunes
00:18:33.780
shannon welcome back to the program thank you so much for having me glenn you bet how are things
00:18:45.740
they're good i mean i think if you you have to pull out and take the eternal perspective and it
00:18:51.780
gives you the chance to say things are good otherwise the world's a pretty tricky place right
00:18:55.580
right i mean i was just saying to stew i said you were so happy and so full of sunshine yet you're
00:19:01.740
the you're the the uh top legal analyst for fox and just looking at what's happening to our laws
00:19:10.020
here in america i mean i i asked stew is it that is it jesus that stops her from hanging herself every
00:19:16.540
day i mean it's absolutely it is there's no question about that if you have an eternal perspective
00:19:23.600
it does truly make a difference i feel sorry for people who don't have that uh because i don't know
00:19:29.120
how you'd make it i agree when you look around at the world as uh devastating as the images are out
00:19:35.860
of ukraine and there's something like that going on around the world we know all of the time 365 days
00:19:40.500
a year if you didn't have a place to make sense of it and say thank god i'm not in charge and there is
00:19:45.240
a much higher being who we know good will triumph over evil eventually um you got to find hope in
00:19:51.560
that yeah yeah you know um your book you have a new book that comes out today the mothers and
00:19:56.540
daughters of the bible speak um and i want to start here elon musk just came out with his three things
00:20:02.900
that are going to destroy us all and shockingly global warming is not at the top of his list
00:20:07.400
um which i thought was his big thing his number one uh threat to humanity is the collapse of
00:20:14.860
civilization because we're not having children and i i talk to people especially young people all
00:20:23.460
the time they're saying i can't bring a child into this world i can't are you kidding me that's
00:20:29.380
what's going to renew us that's what's going to save us or our children yeah and you think about
00:20:35.260
that has been a question over time as long as it has existed i mean the first mother and daughter
00:20:40.480
i talk about in the new book jockabed and miriam i mean the mother and the sister of moses and you
00:20:46.200
have to sometimes if you're familiar with the story you got to remind yourself that these women
00:20:50.600
were hebrew slaves i mean they were oppressed they had no choice uh about their lives or anything
00:20:56.160
else they did pharaoh was oppressing them night and day and yet in the middle of that the hebrew
00:21:00.940
people were having families they were continuing on with that hopeful idea uh which scared pharaoh so much
00:21:06.840
because the hebrews were multiplying god was blessing them and they grew a number that really
00:21:11.520
scared pharaoh but look that their strategy worked i mean they continued to believe in the hope of family
00:21:17.540
and of children and ultimately you know through all of the things that happened with moses and god's
00:21:22.680
divine intervention led them out of that oppression i mean i gotta tell you it is truly faith when you
00:21:28.160
when you put your baby in basically a picnic basket and put it in a river full of crocodiles
00:21:35.660
thinking that's a better thing i trust god more than i trust everything else that could happen
00:21:41.420
exactly and i love the picture of the fact that all of the male babies that were born to the hebrew
00:21:48.740
women at that time were to be thrown in the nile just left to drown and be killed there and it was
00:21:53.480
ultimately the nile where jockabed made that little picnic basket and put moses in that very same river
00:21:58.940
and where he was redeemed and found life when pharaoh's daughter heard him crying and had mercy on him
00:22:03.860
and said i want to raise him and luckily little miriam his sister was sitting there and jumped
00:22:08.260
out of the bushes and said oh by the way if you need a hebrew woman to nurse him i know that's a
00:22:12.620
person so i mean god is always working through circumstances even in the darkest of times i truly
00:22:17.900
believe that do you think that there are things that are happening now that um god's people should be
00:22:25.300
resisting i always do because listen there's chaos there is destruction of innocent lives um you know
00:22:34.380
i'm disgusted by putin quoting bible verses as if that can somehow justify his murderous rampage
00:22:42.480
um i think we have to call out truth and and know that god is never behind chaos and destruction
00:22:48.420
and the destruction of innocence especially and i think there are places all through our world that
00:22:53.860
we can look and see that and um where we have to remember what he is about which is light and truth
00:22:59.280
and redemption and turning away from evil and i think we can confront that in big and small ways
00:23:04.900
every day uh shannon one of the stories i love is the esther story um because it seems like
00:23:11.420
throughout like when you learn lessons like this from the biblical history it seems like when there's
00:23:16.560
someone who's beautiful and glamorous they are sort of the villains in these stories esther's the story
00:23:22.180
kind of of like area hottie saves the world like that's kind of well that was the new york post
00:23:27.760
yeah i would go as far to say as regional hottie regional regional this was all of persia right um
00:23:38.620
yeah i mean if we can't find some excitement and inspiration in her story it's perfect for that
00:23:43.240
because you know she had to actually hide who she was through this whole process of becoming the new
00:23:47.960
queen of persia but god had given her such favor and she was in that place at the moment where the
00:23:53.980
jewish people were going to be wiped out and she finds out about this plot through mordecai her
00:23:58.740
faithful relative who had adopted her when she was an orphan and she's sort of hesitant you know he
00:24:03.880
said you got to go to the king but to do so could actually you could be killed on the spot
00:24:07.900
but he says to her you know don't think if you don't operate here that god won't find a way to do
00:24:12.800
this but that phrase for such a time as this you've been brought to this place and she had to
00:24:18.600
find courage i mean not everybody in the bible is courageous on you know day one um they're flawed
00:24:23.860
people uh they're like us i mean we often hesitate when god confronts us with something he's asking us
00:24:28.560
to do but esther asked everybody to fast and to she would do the same and she went to the king and
00:24:34.560
ultimately saved all of the jews scattered throughout persia so we have to think about great and small the
00:24:39.820
places that we are placed every single day for whatever season in our lives in our homes or
00:24:43.940
workplaces our churches wherever we are um to step up in that moment that god asks of us yeah it seems
00:24:49.180
like there's a real connection to to daily life for everybody in that story too and that one of the
00:24:54.000
things she was worried about was you know she lived a glamorous life right she had all the wealth she
00:24:59.980
had all the riches she had the position uh you know of influence and she had to risk that not to
00:25:06.900
mention her life to do the right thing and how often you know now we're challenged in those ways
00:25:11.840
seemingly all the time yeah i mean you have to think about every tweet everything that you say
00:25:16.540
every position that you take and i hate that things are so divisive and they were all so tribal
00:25:21.080
um but people do really have to count the cost and i think uh for a lot of people i mean i even think
00:25:26.520
about um you know if you want to call people out with the nba and some of the players with regard to
00:25:30.620
china and knowing the ridiculous horrific oppression that's happening there and you know these folks are
00:25:36.260
willing to call out oppression in other communities and other places which we all should rightfully be
00:25:40.420
doing um but to turn a blind eye on what is happening there is absolutely devastating and i think people
00:25:45.840
are counting the cost in the wrong direction in cases like that i think it'd be i think of the ester story
00:25:51.260
all the time uh when when you think about the number of people that could stand up but are afraid
00:26:00.120
and a lot of times it's because they don't truly have faith in god it's tough and scary when you do
00:26:08.240
have faith in god but when you are when when you feel as though i can make a difference here and you
00:26:17.300
understand you were put there at this time for a reason and you really believe that god is active
00:26:26.060
in the affairs of man no matter what happens it is going to put you right where you're supposed to
00:26:33.860
be for his purposes and we have to stop thinking about our purposes now because we've screwed it up
00:26:39.780
everything's screwed up we have to start thinking of his purpose what do you want me to do and i think
00:26:46.080
there are i think and i'd love to hear your opinion on this i have talked to so go ahead go ahead
00:26:53.180
i'm sorry i i was just going to say i think it requires us to be really humble because does all
00:26:59.100
of us do script out our lives and things that we want to do a home we want to buy or vacation we want
00:27:04.800
to take or you know a retirement plan or something i mean and those aren't bad things but ultimately i
00:27:10.540
constantly have to pull myself back to this reset like it's not about me it really is about those good
00:27:15.820
works that scripture tells us have been appointed for us before we ever got here yeah and um you know
00:27:20.940
everything that we the world is so tempting and i'm preaching to myself i mean social media and
00:27:25.520
the accolades of men i mean those are all so tempting and draw us away and distract us but
00:27:30.920
at the end of the day when we can reset and say all right why did god put me on this earth what is
00:27:35.360
he asking of me right now am i going to be humble enough to say okay i give up what i want to do what
00:27:41.180
you want but eternally that's the only thing that matters and a lot and along the way i mean i really
00:27:46.400
the people that i've been hanging out with i am shocked at the number of people whose story comes
00:27:53.640
to me either firsthand or secondhand the of people that are having dreams and promptings and being told
00:28:02.240
to stand in certain places or do something that they may not even understand and they're doing it
00:28:08.340
um that takes an enormous amount of faith just to to listen i think the lord is communicating
00:28:17.920
unlike he ever has to people in my lifetime have you felt that at all yeah i i think that is so true
00:28:25.760
and you know you you think through um things that don't make sense i think about one of the women i
00:28:31.240
wrote in the first book about deborah when you know they were up against the canaanites so
00:28:34.980
listen their lives were terrible the israelites were being completely oppressed their roadways
00:28:39.440
were so dangerous they couldn't even use them they had to like go through hills and valleys to get
00:28:42.760
where they were going and god tells deborah like hey it's time for you to go up against the canaanites
00:28:47.040
and wipe them out none none of that they had none of the weapons none of the horses and chariots
00:28:51.720
and um you know she goes to her military leader and says hey this is what god's asking us to do and
00:28:56.200
he freaks out like no way i'm not going to do that unless you come with me and she ends up leading
00:29:00.700
them into this battle that made no sense on paper um and they end up routing them and i think
00:29:05.920
we're asked a lot of times to do things that don't make sense even sometimes if you're i don't know if
00:29:10.460
you have experiences like this but i'm at the grocery store and i see like god's telling me like hey
00:29:14.140
that person could use an encouraging word you can say hi to them by the produce and i'm like oh i feel
00:29:19.180
super weird i don't want to do that but anytime i've walked away from that and not done it i've felt
00:29:24.620
um later i mean there's purpose in it and the voice gets stronger the more times you obey it
00:29:30.800
yeah yeah um let me ask clarity let me ask you this with all the transgenderism and everything else we
00:29:37.280
have already erased moms you know moms are not important that's not an important job we've done
00:29:42.520
so much damage to moms i feel like and i have several women on my team that are are beating this
00:29:51.320
drum every day women now are being erased do is there anything in the bible that any stories that
00:30:00.080
speak to this kind of movement in our culture well you know i think about the fact that listen if you
00:30:06.920
are a person of faith if you're a christian and you believe that god created all of us in his image
00:30:12.120
he created men and women he set up society he ordered our days and animals who would be here our
00:30:17.020
seasons all of that kind of stuff if you believe that then you believe that he has a perfect
00:30:21.060
plan for all of us and that we're all created in his image and at a time that women were not
00:30:26.100
highly favored in society all through the bible old and new testament god is elevating women their
00:30:32.880
bravery their courage their difficult decisions and think about in the new testament i mean jesus broke
00:30:37.640
every rule they studied with him you weren't really supposed to sit around and study with a revered
00:30:42.440
rabbi like jesus was or even if you just believed he was a good teacher um that was not what women did
00:30:47.380
they were part of his inner circle and he went to the outcast women caught in adultery the samaritan
00:30:52.520
woman um and he said to them like i'm here to redeem you i'm not here to condemn you yes turn from your
00:30:57.660
life of sin um but i see amazing value in you i love you for who you are and i think the fact that he
00:31:04.980
was constantly elevating and going to and praising and redeeming women at a time when they were not
00:31:10.300
elevated in society tells us a lot about how he views us i don't know if you've watched or are watching
00:31:16.020
now um the the chosen but i'm struck every time the way in that how it portrays women as being
00:31:24.180
right next to uh right next to christ um shannon bream the new book is the mothers and daughters of the
00:31:31.480
bible speak lessons on faith from nine biblical families it is available today shannon bream is
00:31:38.820
its author and our guest the mother and daughters of the bible speak shannon as always god bless you
00:31:44.720
thank you you too thanks glenn you bet bye-bye you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:31:52.880
if you listen to this program you might know that i'm an expert at nothing but kind of have enough
00:32:09.600
general knowledge to get me into trouble on everything with the exception of sports that is a
00:32:16.740
no knowledge zone uh but even i once in a while a story will break through and i will see wait a
00:32:25.240
minute hang on you have to have a minor a minority offensive coach you have to hire one now that that
00:32:36.580
i'm i'm wondering i'm wondering how long before football has to hire people like me you need a
00:32:51.180
really uncoordinated dork that can barely run cannot throw uh and uh trips over his own feet
00:33:00.340
about every three yards you need at least one of those people on your team jason whitlock is here
00:33:07.000
he's the host of blaze tv's fearless hello jason how are you glenn good how far are we away from me
00:33:15.060
being on a team uh we got a little ways to go uh you don't fit the profile uh this rule is crazy man
00:33:26.360
because i would i'm pretty confident there is already a black assistant coach on the offensive
00:33:35.120
side of the football team on every staff in the nfl and on pretty much every division one football
00:33:43.500
staff in college football i this rule is a bit of a publicity stunt but it's also really intended to
00:33:54.060
empower women and give the make the nfl have to start interviewing women for jobs
00:34:02.420
do you think that the the redskins i refuse to call them any other name the redskins that seem to have
00:34:11.300
kind of a a rebellious uh bend to them do you think they could just hire hookers or strippers
00:34:20.000
it's it's comical that you mentioned that because i was like well some the old the younger me years
00:34:29.920
ago if i was an nfl head coach i literally said to someone i'd say i would just go to the whatever
00:34:35.360
the best strip club is in my town and hire some woman there to be an offensive assistant right uh
00:34:42.760
executive in charge of you know the head coach's needs or whatever okay that's a problem but
00:34:48.840
so wait a minute so so this doesn't make a difference so i've even misunderstood this story
00:34:58.140
i couldn't even get this one you haven't misunderstood it in terms of look the nfl
00:35:03.380
is just going further and further woke and they're trying to make they want to run the nfl the way college
00:35:12.420
campuses are run and so basically hold on just a second i just want to get my arms around that one
00:35:18.920
hang on just because i don't think that's ever been said by any business ever we want to run our
00:35:23.900
business more like a college campus okay no question and college campuses generally speaking
00:35:32.980
have just as many if not more administrators as they do professors oh that's good and so what
00:35:39.900
they're talking about is hiring administrators people that can't coach football really and i'm
00:35:46.600
not saying that to be sexist but coaching football is not a what is not really in most women's skill set
00:35:54.700
they haven't played the game and so but they're going to set up all these administrator jobs for
00:36:01.400
women and and say look how inclusive and diverse we are and look at all the progress we're making
00:36:08.340
uh we have female coaches and and and then they're also going to you know lgbt coaches of color that
00:36:18.980
perhaps are not getting their jobs based on merit uh will have some type of special title and role on
00:36:27.280
the team it's just mugging up the system with a lot of mid-level management people that have no real
00:36:35.960
skill jason it was it was my impression that we were striving for a time in which we would not make
00:36:41.300
decisions based on skin color we seem to be reversing that trend for whatever reason uh but
00:36:46.280
in the nfl they're even going to the point where they are changing the competitive balance of the league
00:36:52.180
where certain executives of color get hired away and they're giving draft picks as compensation
00:36:59.240
free draft picks to teams i mean this is you're disturbing the core product here yeah you it's not
00:37:05.340
a meritocracy anymore and it's it's just look at the example the miami dolphins hired mike mcdaniel as
00:37:13.620
their head coach his dad is black but if you listen to what mike mcdaniel has said about himself
00:37:20.580
is he's certainly proud of his black father not ashamed of his black heritage but mike mcdaniel
00:37:27.960
looks white and has basically lived his life as a white person the same as brock obama who's half
00:37:36.800
white but looks black has lived his life as a black person mike mcdaniel has that that right there's no
00:37:44.020
shame about him being half black there's no shame about his father but the san francisco 49ers
00:37:50.120
got draft picks because he was on their staff and now the dolphins have hired him but but you know
00:37:57.940
mike mcdaniel's experience as a black person isn't what the majority of black people's experience
00:38:06.780
has been he he looks and appears to be completely white and so it's a foolish foolish game that only
00:38:16.440
could be come up with on a college campus where they live in theory they don't live in reality
00:38:23.240
and so these theories that they have applied on campuses are now being forced on corporate america
00:38:31.200
and the nfl has swallowed it whole because again the people making the decisions and pushing this
00:38:38.900
agenda are just creating additional jobs for themselves within the nfl the nfl will have a
00:38:46.160
diversity inclusion and equity chief uh and someone to oversee all of this managing of racial quotas
00:38:54.960
that they're going and and those will be black people or women or lgbtq and it's no different than the
00:39:03.280
all of this stuff has happened within corporate america if you go look at the profile of moach
00:39:09.120
people running human resources department they're minorities and or lgbtq and and they're the gatekeepers
00:39:19.360
for who gets jobs in corporate america and and the nfl is is going to start setting up its gatekeepers
00:39:27.720
to decide who gets jobs in the nfl and it'll be someone lgbtq or minority if i'm now i don't know much
00:39:35.060
about sports but if i'm not mistaken i've only seen somebody hire somebody completely incompetent
00:39:40.520
in sports and have it worked out and that is ted lasso i think that's the only time that that is
00:39:47.660
another example right there at home good uh and barry switzer was a heck of a college coach he had
00:39:53.780
no business coaching the dallas cowboys he won a super bowl with jimmy johnson's dallas cowboys when
00:39:59.540
jerry jones run it ran him out so you can't get away with it for a short time if there's enough talent
00:40:04.900
are we the only country doing this to our sports teams uh i can't answer that question i i i can't
00:40:14.560
answer it and i and to some degree i don't care uh because all i care about is america uh well i know
00:40:22.960
but i mean you know if you know we've always led the world because we were a meritocracy yeah uh and i'd
00:40:30.460
just like to see if we have spread this disease everywhere uh i mean because the the western
00:40:37.560
culture is so affected by america and if we're spreading this disease i mean i feel and i've never
00:40:45.020
said this before i feel sorry for soccer fans and i'd like to apologize to them yeah i i would tend to
00:40:52.740
think we're spreading the disease because the disease is really coming it's from coming from a
00:40:58.320
lab in at harvard and yale and stanford and you know it's we we had a lab leak and it's spreading
00:41:09.080
all over the country this diversity inclusion and equity you know i love to call it die d-i-e they call
00:41:18.460
it d-e-i intensely but it is they're they're just out trying to kill the american spirit the american
00:41:25.660
way of life uh all under the pretense of you know empowering uh you know these oppressed minorities
00:41:35.880
and and it's offensive to me as a black man and as someone who grew up and i went to college on a
00:41:43.600
football scholarship i wouldn't be college educated about football there's been no challenge placed in
00:41:48.380
front of black men that we haven't been able to overcome and scale those heights if if just the
00:41:56.140
playing field were level they're not trying to level the playing field anymore they're trying to tilt
00:42:01.880
the playing field and it's offensive to me i don't need crutches i i really don't uh my dad and mom
00:42:09.260
wear my crutches and they push me forward and and all of all of virtually all of my friends that i
00:42:16.580
went to college with black guys their parents wear their crutches and i'm looking at these guys and
00:42:22.220
where they're at in their mid-50s and the american system work for them it did not oppress them it
00:42:29.180
worked for them has everything been perfect no but my friends own businesses have high level jobs
00:42:36.300
uh have successful marriages raising great kids and and again most of us did not come from much
00:42:43.820
you know my dad didn't graduate high school my mother was a factory worker that's kind of the
00:42:49.720
profile of most of my friends parents and we've all done really well and and these guys that all have
00:42:56.780
kids and family they're pushing their generation of kids further along than they were i have to tell you
00:43:03.880
um i just you know you made me think of something that i haven't even thought of when you said
00:43:08.600
die for diversity uh inclusion uh and equity instead of dei and you said you know they spell it that way
00:43:19.660
for obvious reasons and i thought yeah the die thing and but when the way you said it it made me think
00:43:26.020
wait a minute that's dei that's latin that's latin for god that is that is where i mean if you look
00:43:35.140
if you look it up it's um you know uh dei or deus but dei is is god and uh i don't think that
00:43:49.060
necessarily is uh a coincidence i i'm not saying that they did that for a reason you know for that reason
00:43:54.860
but i just think there are little signs everywhere that show that this these people think they're god
00:44:01.100
they just think they're god and they are worshiping baal the god of the old testament and it is uh
00:44:07.880
not the right god to be following i'll say this if they don't think they're god they think they're
00:44:13.900
smarter than god yeah and yeah just as problematic true jason whitlock thank you so much god bless you
