Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hey podcasters, great show for you today. We start in the heart of darkness with Venezuela
00:00:06.700
and the celebrities that just love Hugo Chavez. Then right into something that has now been
00:00:13.800
deplatformed. I'm sorry, not deplatformed, but got us demonetized. Demonetized on YouTube. And
00:00:22.040
that is for telling you who we believe Congresswoman Omar is. If you have a problem with today's
00:00:29.840
episode, you should listen to tomorrow's podcast. Then had a great conversation about freedom of
00:00:36.060
speech. And what do we do? Do we break up these big social media companies, these tech companies?
00:00:41.760
I don't necessarily agree with that. But what do we do? Because freedom of speech is even hitting
00:00:47.700
you. They're starting to curtail your speech. And I got a letter in from a listener yesterday that I
00:00:54.340
shared with you. And then the hate crime hoax, how the left is selling a fake race war. And of
00:01:02.400
course, we end with Tony Robbins, my visit to him. I'm going to be gone over the next few days. And
00:01:09.320
I'm going to go see Tony Robbins. And he's going to motivate. I'm much more interested in the Ricky
00:01:18.960
Gervais show on Netflix called Afterlife. Really funny. Really funny. Really, really good. Harsh,
00:01:29.860
but really funny. That's all on today's podcast.
00:01:40.540
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:52.960
Imagine a darkness, something darker and scarier than the deepest parts of the ocean.
00:01:59.860
Darker than that awful darkness of space. The darkness of night. A house shackled by darkness
00:02:06.760
because there isn't any electricity. And there hasn't been for months. But then again, that's
00:02:12.020
not the dark I'm talking about. The real dark is the dark part that lives inside of you. The
00:02:19.360
things that you now have to do on a daily basis just to stay alive.
00:02:24.320
Around the corner, you hear the bestial shouts from a Caracas jail.
00:02:31.220
The prisoners have taken over. At least that's what you hear. They feel they can do a better job of
00:02:36.520
controlling themselves than whoever has been doing it lately. It was a hundred years ago that this
00:02:42.840
country was lavished in wealth. Not too long ago, you too were rich. You were healthy in that
00:02:50.180
chubby 19th century Russian diplomat way. You ate well. You probably ate too much. Black turtle beans and
00:02:58.080
fried bananas. Asado negro. You drool just thinking of the tender shredded beef and the carrot and oregano
00:03:05.120
tinged broth. You strode through steakhouses on special occasions. You ate t-bones like a Texan. You
00:03:13.900
drank Chilean wines. Malbec from Argentina. Occasionally a glass of cognac. Not because you were a drunk,
00:03:22.400
but because you could. Because you enjoyed the sprouting goodness that life had to offer. Man,
00:03:27.520
that life, it seemed like it was never going to end. Now look at yourself.
00:03:35.120
You're a bag of bones. Bones jutting out like false teeth at times. You think about all the energy
00:03:43.140
you waste just breathing. What happened? Now you can barely afford a single egg. One egg. Eggs that fall
00:03:56.180
out of the backsides of chickens. And I can't afford it? Your mouth quivers at the thought of a fried egg.
00:04:03.400
Tender. So tender it pops open with just the prod of a fork oozing onto the fried papaya and rotisserie
00:04:09.700
chicken. You've lost 120 pounds since it all started going to hell. And now you're in it firmly.
00:04:20.100
You weren't rich. You weren't rich. You were middle class. Lower middle class even. That's just how good
00:04:27.180
things used to be. Although there was always the cinderblock hovels that you can see from the plane
00:04:34.280
as you land in Caracas. Now it has spread. The office where you used to work as an accountant is now empty,
00:04:43.240
abandoned, overtaken by squatters, people like you who lost everything, who limp a little more each
00:04:50.420
day toward their death. Men all in black now patrol the streets with shotguns, black bulletproof vest
00:04:58.160
and black tarp-like shirts and black pants, black military boots. People hamper cars in the street
00:05:05.060
because there's nowhere to go. Nothing to do. Gasping a bit, you rest below a crucifix statue,
00:05:15.460
the left tilting head of Christ emblazoned in a soft and sad light, the burnished rise of daylight
00:05:21.780
breathing into a new day. Looking at Christ, perhaps for the first time you understand suffering.
00:05:29.940
You understand his defeated look, the look of hopelessness and violence and death,
00:05:37.300
the hopelessness of surrendering and surrendering until it stops mattering.
00:05:42.500
You hope. You have that one hope left that all things will change. But you really hope that just
00:05:55.220
anything begins to change. It was all so promising at the beginning. Everybody was going to be able to
00:06:04.260
live the high life and now only a handful are and they are the ones that live behind the
00:06:12.260
gates. This, you think to yourself, this is the socialist utopia they promised all of us as Venezuelans.
00:06:24.740
As you sit there under the statue, you begin to replay it all in your mind and wonder,
00:06:32.260
where are all those Americans, those celebrities, those from Hollywood that praised our leaders and
00:06:44.740
helped convince us that this was the road to prosperity?
00:07:06.580
This is why the media is an enemy of the people.
00:07:13.220
Not because, not because they're against Donald Trump or anything else, but because they will
00:07:23.940
Where are the big long specials on Venezuela and how it all happened?
00:07:30.500
Where are the demands for the apologies from those who brought this socialism to Venezuela?
00:07:36.900
I can tell you right now that if a capitalist country would implode and you had the very rich and the
00:07:44.980
very elite of this grotesque capitalist system, living the high life, taking the gold from the country,
00:07:54.500
currently holding it hostage, forcing people to starve, fixing elections.
00:08:06.020
They would be talking about it nonstop and saying this is why we need socialism.
00:08:15.780
Where are the leaders today that will actually stand up and say, wait a minute, hold it.
00:08:27.060
Can we stop and look at what socialism has done?
00:08:37.540
Hey, Sean Penn, do you remember when you said this?
00:08:42.500
He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.
00:08:51.140
And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he's shown over and over again.
00:09:08.260
I just want to say that from my very American point of view,
00:09:14.420
I want to say that from my very American point of view,
00:09:35.460
to be so inspiring as he is, as a two-way street.
00:09:39.380
And he would say that his inspiration is the people.
00:10:04.660
And he will continue this proud, proud tradition of Chávez.
00:10:25.460
Everything was falling into disrepair at the end of Hugo Chávez.
00:11:47.140
And so when I talked to the president about Haiti,
00:11:50.020
he understood there was a fundamental relationship
00:11:52.580
that Latin America, and particularly Venezuela,
00:14:17.300
then why are they silencing so many people today
00:14:34.500
Germany, they showed up in those black uniforms,
00:15:04.820
The most frightening words anybody has ever spoken.
00:15:35.620
Well, they just didn't do it right in Venezuela.
00:16:07.220

00:16:10.740
And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:16:18.980
There is a, there's an electric fence around here.
00:16:24.740
But when I, when I said to my staff, I want to really look into her and I want to see,
00:16:31.220
Tell me where she came from, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:33.300
We started uncovering things that are just beyond description strange.
00:16:40.900
There are multiple, multiple suspicious stories that the media has granted her a pass and they
00:16:52.420
I mean, even the average Democrat would not get away with these things.
00:16:57.380
So I want to talk to you a little bit about, um, about her and, and where she came from today.
00:17:04.900
We'll talk about her anti-Semitism and the heart of that on tomorrow's episode at this time.
00:17:11.060
Now, the first stories that started to come out to question her came out from online bloggers back in 2016.
00:17:18.740
Normally, I wouldn't go to an online blogger and say, Hey, look at what this online blogger did.
00:17:24.960
However, when you have no media, sometimes the online bloggers, if you check them out, have something and they have checked this out.
00:17:34.640
Back in 2016, Ilhan Omar had committed immigration fraud.
00:17:39.860
This was the charge that she had committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother to facilitate his arrival in the United States.
00:17:54.260
If it was from a blogger, I would, I would look into it, but it doesn't help that, you know, it's like, okay, really?
00:18:01.100
So she set, um, her, um, social media platforms to private immediately after that story broke and then deleted all of the alleged evidence that was used to prove the immigration fraud case.
00:18:25.340
Sounds suspicious, but the mainstream media wouldn't touch it.
00:18:29.220
Not even the local Minnesota media would touch it.
00:18:32.680
And you'll understand why by the end of this episode tomorrow, the Associated Press actually took this on.
00:18:41.140
They were the only outlet, the Associated Press, not a slum out vet and currently, uh, not a conservative outlet to say the least.
00:18:49.840
But when they asked Omar what was going on, she just said, quote, I choose not to further the narrative of those who oppose us.
00:18:58.220
Okay, well, I assume that you're saying that those are all lies, but it would be easy to prove them.
00:19:04.680
So the AP asked Omar for her immigration records and birth certificates that would prove her denial.
00:19:11.200
Now, when I first saw this, I was like, oh, geez, a birth certificate thing.
00:19:14.100
There was nothing with the Obama birth certificate.
00:19:17.980
And the fact that she said that her family's birth certificates were lost during the Somali Civil War, something that probably did happen and was true.
00:19:29.240
So you're not going to base it on birth records.
00:19:32.300
However, the immigration records, the things that should be open, you shouldn't have a problem with this at all.
00:19:41.540
And a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the Associated Press was sent back, explaining the approval of the release had to be authorized by Omar and her husband, and they won't sign off.
00:19:53.820
Now, even Snopes, who's not really in the Donald Trump camp, classifying this not as true or false, but unproven.
00:20:04.700
We have a credible case of immigration fraud by a U.S. representative, and the alleged perpetrator has deleted the visual evidence.
00:20:14.100
She refuses to provide any evidence, the person who is, you know, under the microscope.
00:20:20.240
She's gone radio silent on this issue ever since, and no one is looking into it.
00:20:25.960
Okay, I mean, you'd think that someone would, you know, at the New York Times or Washington Post at least be curious.
00:20:36.200
The Associated Press, according to the Associated Press, the Obama administration never started an investigation, and the Trump administration hasn't started an investigation.
00:20:51.840
Well, there's also evidence that Ilhan Omar committed perjury in court.
00:20:56.520
Now, this is where it starts to fall into place.
00:20:59.600
When she filed for a divorce from her possible brother in 2017, Omar claimed that she hadn't seen or made contact with her husband since 2011.
00:21:14.040
She said, I don't even know where my husband is or where he was.
00:21:20.940
Well, PJ Media went to the Minnesota Family Records Center, and they verified that Omar officially submitted to the court that her last contact with her husband was June 2011.
00:21:39.560
She said, I haven't seen him since June 2011, and that's in her divorce records.
00:21:45.400
So in the absence of any journalist doing any work on this at all, the Internet sleuths had to go to work, and they searched Omar's husband's last known location, which was London, right?
00:22:01.100
She said, I haven't seen him, probably in London.
00:22:03.780
So they searched to see if Omar had traveled there between 2011 and 2016.
00:22:08.980
Oops, they found some photos on social media, taken in London back in 2014.
00:22:18.460
The picture is up on the screen now if you happen to be watching.
00:22:25.380
That's Elian Omar and her ex-husband or brother or whatever.
00:22:33.600
So isn't that a pretty strong case for perjury?
00:22:37.380
A case for law enforcement at least to investigate the mainstream media to do some kind of looking into this.
00:22:47.560
They're the only ones that at least ask Omar about this discrepancy, and she refused to address the situation.
00:22:55.900
And Omar's husband, ex-husband, has declined any kind of response either.
00:23:02.020
And by the way, the pictures, yeah, they're mysteriously been deleted.
00:23:09.660
Omar has been accused by State Representative Steve Drakowski of not one but three campaign finance and ethics violations.
00:23:19.940
The first allegation involves the use of $3,000 in campaign money that was spent on travel to Estonia and Boston.
00:23:27.340
Now, Drakowski claims that these trips were personal in nature.
00:23:34.560
It should be concerning to his constituents that he's using taxpayer dollars to harass a Muslim candidate.
00:23:40.660
So, in other words, her defense is, I'm a Muslim.
00:23:43.900
The second allegation is that Omar used over $2,000 in campaign finance to pay her lawyer for her divorce proceedings.
00:23:52.060
Omar's response was basically, no, no, it was for something else.
00:24:00.760
The third allegation is that she made ethics violations after accepting speaker fees from public colleges.
00:24:17.500
We recognize how these folks are deeply invested in stopping a progressive, black, Muslim, hijab-wearing, immigrant woman.
00:24:29.060
We know these people are part of systems that have historically been disturbingly motivated to silence and discredit and dehumanize influencers who threaten the establishment.
00:24:39.240
Now, it's really interesting that she would use dehumanize.
00:24:53.400
Disturbingly motivated to discredit and silence and to dehumanize influencers.
00:25:00.700
Let me see if I can explain to Omar what dehumanizing actually looks like from an interview in a hallway that she denies that's what she was saying until she released the video herself, apparently not listening to it, and realized, oh, crap, that's exactly what I said and deleted it.
00:25:25.600
Could you just set the record straight so we get your side of it?
00:25:28.840
Do you think that President Obama is the same as President Obama?
00:25:32.380
That is silly to even think and equate the two.
00:25:46.500
Omar, I don't know how they do things in Somalia,
00:25:50.300
but that is the dictionary definition of dehumanizing someone.
00:25:58.960
To claim one is a person, and because I disagree with him, the other one is not.
00:26:16.380
Who was in her office last week, just as the Democrats decided to change and say,
00:26:25.660
no, no, no, what we're going to say is it's anti-Semitism.
00:26:37.080
Who was in her office as that decision was being made?
00:26:51.960

Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program,
00:27:38.080
His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:27:53.980
that I thought was interesting, a Twitter thread.
00:27:56.940
I'd like to elevate the way we talk about censorship issues.
00:28:00.460
Let me offer a few quick thoughts on language around these issues,
00:28:05.940
We thought we would get him on and have him lay it out for us.
00:28:13.600
Tell me, can you guide us through at all a logical way
00:28:20.120
that we can have freedom of speech, companies can be themselves
00:28:27.940
and, you know, do what they feel is right while still having freedom of speech
00:28:33.500
and getting the government out of bed with these people?
00:28:40.340
I mean, first, we all care about freedom here, right?
00:28:45.380
The question is, what does it mean to live in a free society
00:28:48.720
when there are these incredibly powerful tech companies
00:28:52.000
and global services that have a ton of market share
00:28:54.940
and that, you know, conceivably can kind of kick you off for any reason?
00:29:01.580
I kind of come at this with this freedom, libertarian type orientation,
00:29:05.420
but I recognize that the issues get a lot more complicated in this era.
00:29:10.460
And so I've been trying to elevate the way we talk about these issues
00:29:14.560
and just advance this dialogue because I think it's incredibly important to the future.
00:29:18.160
So I'm really grateful to be on your show to talk about it.
00:29:27.100
We have a bunch of politicians throwing things back and forth,
00:29:29.940
and people are just, I think, on this issue, they just,
00:29:34.320
they become outraged by it, and then they don't know what to do,
00:29:37.880
so they just hook their wagon to some politician.
00:29:41.360
And I don't think we're having a serious discussion about this in society.
00:29:49.200
Well, I think, I mean, I think it begins with talking about it
00:29:54.120
and understand what are the right questions to ask.
00:30:01.240
I mean, we've all heard about the Chinese social credit system
00:30:11.540
and they won't be able to take the train and stuff like that.
00:30:14.100
Well, in our society, a privatized version of totalitarianism
00:30:20.480
Like, in some sense, we're evolving this American social credit system.
00:30:27.100
When you say poke at me, you don't think I disagree,
00:30:38.960
So I talk to my friends who are passionate Christians,
00:30:50.200
but, like, if Masterpiece doesn't want to sell me a cake
00:30:58.420
But if Amazon bans me from selling my books on Amazon
00:31:02.640
for whatever reason, that's really devastating.
00:31:23.220
you know, hey, it's still a private company with...
