Transcript
00:00:00.000
welcome to friday on the glenn beck program with pat filling in for stew today um we start off
00:00:06.820
with a really good news hour in fact in fact we stretch it to uh almost two hours of good news
00:00:13.840
things that are a little bit uplifting uh would we have called it good news in the year 2000
00:00:18.320
maybe not but definitely today also uh we tackled the racism in south lake texas uh you won't believe
00:00:27.040
that story absolutely incredible and a lot more all on the podcast today
00:00:32.200
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:00:42.400
we're going to continue our good news uh into the next hour standby for that um but uh they're
00:00:52.940
in the florida keys they're doing an experiment uh and uh they're they're wiping out all mosquitoes
00:01:02.060
they're releasing 500 million gene hacked mosquitoes so they're all male and they have hacked the gene
00:01:14.260
so they pass something on to the female and when the female reproduces uh the if it's a female
00:01:23.880
they're the only ones that bite if it's a female they die out if this works that is genocide that's
00:01:31.260
mosquito genocide and i'm i hate mosquitoes i don't want to live around mosquitoes i hate them
00:01:37.520
but i think there's probably some purpose for mosquitoes when has it been okay we can't touch
00:01:45.740
the rainforest because some unknown animal or some unknown plant that we don't even know
00:01:51.120
is being destroyed and we're we're making them extinct but we don't have a problem making
00:01:57.480
mosquitoes extinct does that sound smart to you
00:02:02.520
that's another hard one because yeah i want mosquitoes to go away i this would only kill
00:02:08.780
this would only kill something like two percent of all mosquitoes though this doesn't do very much
00:02:13.780
um which is why some of the residents are pissed go ahead a lot of the residents are mad
00:02:18.980
because they're releasing half a billion they're not even sure what's going to happen here
00:02:22.540
and uh even if it's completely successful it only wipes out two percent yeah but isn't that
00:02:28.960
because it's only a certain kind of mosquito the idea is to be able to do this with all mosquitoes
00:02:33.980
and i'm i'm for the ratification of of mosquitoes but does somebody know what they do besides bite people
00:02:47.460
john solomon is with us there is a disturbing report happening now with rudy giuliani and john solomon
00:03:03.380
is is part of it but he is also former wall street uh journal reporter uh ceo and editor-in-chief
00:03:12.180
now of justthenews.com which is a news site that you should check every single day
00:03:17.120
really good journalism being done there rudy giuliani had his apartment raided yesterday
00:03:22.800
uh and uh it's kind of disturbing what we're hearing is happening john welcome good to be with
00:03:31.660
you glenn thank you so tell us what happened yesterday and why as far as we could tell and
00:03:38.000
again i um i'm i'm a part of the news in this so it's an unusual position to be a reporter and also
00:03:43.020
be part of the news the uh fbi on wednesday raided rudy giuliani's apartment at about 6 30 in the
00:03:49.520
morning they also raided uh the home i was not really raided but they showed up at the home of
00:03:54.160
a um uh joe genova and victoria tensing who were personal lawyers for me on a book project
00:04:00.520
and they uh secured uh communication devices that were uh requested under a grand jury subpoena and a
00:04:07.740
search warrant and you know this has been a long-running saga right there is a theory that
00:04:12.740
adam schiff has put out into the into the public that somehow rudy giuliani and victoria tensing and
00:04:19.680
joe de genova were working for foreign forces to remove the ambassador of uh the u.s ambassador to
00:04:27.300
ukraine perhaps on behalf of ukrainian officials i don't know the merits of the case right i do know
00:04:33.720
that i wrote uh the majority of the joe biden stories and this ambassador madam madam ambassador
00:04:41.200
ivanovich marie ivanovich uh was the woman that was at the helm at the embassy when hunter biden was
00:04:48.580
doing all of his shenanigans with burisma and i wrote in the period of march until may the the main
00:04:55.380
stories that brought to light or reinvigorated the hunter biden burisma ukraine china money train and and
00:05:02.900
so they're my name shows up in these search wards and sabine as i'm told and uh again i worked as a
00:05:09.720
reporter i talked to many people yes joe and victoria were my lawyers who often did pre libel
00:05:15.400
work when i would submit a story to the hill and rudy giuliani approached me about information i have
00:05:20.340
said publicly i ended up not using what he gave me because it didn't match my reporting and so i didn't
00:05:25.360
use it but he did offer me information i i don't think i did anything but act like a reporter and many
00:05:30.440
other reporters had the same contacts with the same people but for some reason maybe because all of us
00:05:35.720
were instrumental in in highlighting hunter biden's problems uh we now find ourselves entangled in this
00:05:42.200
grand jury subpoena so you know some people say it's an enemy's list i don't know uh i hope to think
00:05:48.020
not and i would like to give the benefit of the doubt to the u.s attorney's office that maybe they're
00:05:52.340
looking at something and when they look at the facts they'll come to the right decision but as a
00:05:57.000
reporter it's very chilling when your name gets leaked as part of a grand jury subpoena someone
00:06:01.860
obviously wanted my name out there that's why they put it on the subpoena adam schiff wanted my
00:06:06.220
name out there that's why he leaked my phone records and yet in two and a half years no one found
00:06:10.600
anything wrong and everything that people said about the burisma story at the time it's it's wrong
00:06:16.160
it's russian disinformation it's all been validated so i think this will go and ivanovich
00:06:21.680
rush up the uh the ambassador in ukraine if just from the reporting that we did uh you you're you're
00:06:32.520
that she's she was not good she was not good uh and it would would be great if she were gone
00:06:39.340
not on behalf of the uh the ukrainian government but just on behalf of the united states and its
00:06:46.620
government and people it was not a good situation yeah what do we know about her that we didn't know
00:06:52.540
during impeachment she was the darling of the impeachment testimony right she testified during
00:06:57.480
impeachment that she really didn't know anything about hunter biden's burisma thing except what she
00:07:02.980
was briefed on before she became the ambassador and what she read in the newspaper i sued and we
00:07:08.800
turned up all of these documents she met with burisma's lawyers she received a long briefing from
00:07:14.680
burisma's lawyers george kent the guy with the bow tie that made himself famous in the impeachment
00:07:18.900
he told her a bribe had been paid by burisma why hunter biden was on the board and she reported it
00:07:25.500
to her boss victoria newland none of that was in her testimony a lot of people think she was at least
00:07:31.400
deceptive by omission if not outright dishonest i know because of the good work of judicial watch
00:07:38.040
that she ordered myself and sean hannity and many other famous people to have our uh social media
00:07:45.320
illegally monitored by federal agents and federal employees it's the state department cannot target
00:07:50.960
americans and use its intelligence resources we know she did that wrong we know she had a
00:07:55.820
dysfunctional relationship with the ukrainian prosecutor whose job it was to carry out her corruption
00:08:02.440
anti-corruption uh agenda uh i i think the body of history that we know about marie ivanovich today
00:08:08.940
versus what we knew about two years ago is very different and and i think you know unfortunately
00:08:14.140
most of the rest of the media got scared away from this story when adam shift and the fake whistleblower
00:08:18.820
and others started to make claims that you know aren't true they they you know for a while the new
00:08:23.260
york times and abc news were reporting what i was reporting and then they all ran for cover
00:08:28.000
if this happened 20 years ago john uh to a reporter uh wouldn't all the reporters everybody in the
00:08:36.920
media be rallying around you they sure would in fact ironically glenn 20 years ago this month it did
00:08:43.240
happen to this reporter i don't think i don't know if you remember this but just before 9-11 when i was
00:08:48.460
associated press reporter the bush administration actually robert muller we've heard a lot about him
00:08:53.520
over the years he authorized the subpoena for my phone records trying to find out my sources on
00:08:57.720
something and then a few months later without a warrant they intercepted my mail at the border
00:09:02.700
they had to admit that that was an unlawful seizure and the media rallied around me why because it was
00:09:08.520
george bush's justice department going after me but when it's the biden justice department i haven't
00:09:13.100
gotten a single call of support from a single journalist and all those reporters who were looking
00:09:18.160
at biden you know who dropped off it but no there's a real story there they've just gone silent
00:09:23.020
because you know what if they probably saw what happened to me i got you know i have an impeccable
00:09:27.520
reputation of journalism i worked very carefully to be fair to people my whole life regardless of
00:09:33.860
political they destroyed my reputation they they called me a russian disinformation artist no one
00:09:39.620
wants to go through that and then i think they scared the rest of the media off and silence will
00:09:44.120
be the greatest sin of omission that the industry pays on this particular issue they were silent
00:09:49.060
when adam schiff took my phone records no one was outraged then except for the wall street journal
00:09:53.960
op-ed pages please uh count this as a uh a genuine call of support but not from anybody with any kind
00:10:02.520
of journalistic credibility but we're behind you john uh it's a lot it is yeah it is really bad now tell
00:10:10.340
me because rudy giuliani uh his son came out and said they left all of the information about hunter
00:10:19.420
biden's laptop is is that real or is was that just a you know yeah they uh rudy giuliani says he
00:10:28.620
offered the laptop because it met the description of the electronic devices that should be seized
00:10:33.340
and the agents told him they didn't want it that's what he said on tucker carlson last night
00:10:37.640
uh now there could be a i'll offer because i always try to be fair and down the middle on these things
00:10:42.240
they already have the hunter biden laptop so having another copy of it might not be
00:10:46.180
as important to the fbi they've had it we know that so maybe it's not a big deal here's something
00:10:51.120
that i think is more shocking that rudy giuliani said that i don't think people picked up on i've
00:10:55.500
done the reporting this morning and i have confirmed this rudy intimated and i have confirmed
00:11:00.960
affirmatively that in november of 19 the trump justice department under the direction of bill bar
00:11:07.820
authorized the secret it's called clandestine seizure of rudy giuliani's law records uh as well
00:11:19.500
as victoria tensing's law records why is that so significant it's very rare to do clandestine
00:11:26.040
seizures of of data but uh in the case of rudy giuliani i believe it was their cloud you know it's all of his
00:11:33.260
records in the in the cloud from his email wait wait so when you say law records could that include
00:11:40.680
attorney client privileged stuff it absolutely did because the government had to set up a team
00:11:46.300
and self-determine because they weren't asking rudy what what uh what records were privileged and what
00:11:52.640
weren't but think about my gosh yes that's how far our surveillance state has gone but and let's think
00:11:59.000
about its significance from two things they've had all this stuff for two years they never brought
00:12:02.760
charges they had access to everything and now they're going to raid his home and get the same
00:12:06.960
stuff a second time but here's a here's a more important point at that very moment in november of
00:12:13.640
2019 when those clandestine or uh covert uh seizures were occurring he was advising the president's
00:12:21.960
impeachment strategy as adam schiff was conducting the impeachment trial victoria newland the the the u.s
00:12:29.160
attorney's attorney's office in southern district of new york may very well have had access to some of
00:12:34.940
rudy giuliani's strategy ukraine and remember it was the ukraine issue that was at the rudy giuliani's
00:12:42.140
role was the issue in the impeachment trial it's a very chilling thing attorneys have privileges
00:12:49.120
journalists are supposed to have privileges it appears that the surveillance state of america whether
00:12:54.220
it's adam schiff's surveillance state with his subpoena for phone records or the justice department
00:12:59.320
doesn't seem to regard the privileges of attorneys or the privileges of journalists
00:13:03.840
as robustly as they did 10 or 20 or 30 years ago
00:13:07.200
that is bone chilling bone chilling um i saw yesterday that the justice department just promoted
00:13:19.120
uh the individual that was was instrumental in the the fisa scandal and i believe she's now overseeing
00:13:31.040
the relationship between the the people asking for warrants and and the fisa request what is
00:13:37.980
happening there nobody not only are they not getting punished they're getting rewarded it's been it's been
00:13:44.960
the uh the dynamic all through the russia scandal right and russia and ukraine are inextricably
00:13:52.380
intertwined people don't realize that the russia story in many respects was designed to throw a light
00:13:59.080
on donald trump a diversionary tactic so people wouldn't look at what hillary clinton joe biden and
00:14:03.880
others were doing in russia and ukraine because they all had relationships in both countries it was a
00:14:08.140
piggy bank for democrats and they threw uh you know a diversionary tactic by accusing trump of doing
00:14:13.640
something he never did so ukraine and russia are going to forever be intertwined that said the you
00:14:20.400
look pete peter struck gets uh fired for misconduct and he lands on all of these prestigious jobs
00:14:26.260
hunter biden admits he does all these things wrong he's giving lectures on the media now at a prestigious
00:14:31.340
university um uh to lane the yeah to lane just in the last few days the debt the former deputy fbi
00:14:39.600
director mccabe gets fired he's able to raise zillions of dollars on go fund me there's no
00:14:45.580
consequences for bad conduct at least on the left you know and then there seems to be extraordinary
00:14:51.780
and maybe over the top penalties for people on the right you take a look at mike flynn and andy mccabe
00:14:57.460
they did the same thing if you believe the fbi they lied to the fbi one goes through millions of
00:15:03.060
dollars of law bills and and a prosecution before he gets pardoned the other uh doesn't get even
00:15:08.920
charged and and under a trump justice department so you just have to ask yourself whether this picture
00:15:16.140
doesn't really affirm what republicans have been saying there's a two-tier justice system
00:15:20.500
john uh please reach out if you need anything uh personally or professionally i and i know the
00:15:31.060
audience is behind you as well anything you need thank you so much thank you sir you bet just the
00:15:37.360
news.com something you should check every day from john solomon just the news.com
00:15:49.400
juan salivar is uh with us he's a retired colonel the united states army uh and uh he is one of the
00:16:08.020
people in south lake who's been very outspoken about what was going on with critical race theory
00:16:12.680
and is changing for the better what was happening in the school district he's going to walk us through
00:16:19.360
what happened why he and others got involved and uh and maybe even some of the details on the arrests
00:16:26.040
that are happening here one welcome to the program sir how are you hi mr beck thank you for having me
00:16:31.620
it's an honor to be here thank you it's an honor to talk to you i know your i know your service record
00:16:36.580
and uh it's quite impressive so thank you so um one tell me how this happened what you first heard
00:16:44.260
how you got involved and what people have been doing
00:16:47.460
yeah sure there's there's a lot of people in this community that were involved before i was i wasn't
00:16:53.880
really aware of what was going on until mid-summer of 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic
00:16:59.500
when i started to hear inklings of this program called the cultural competence action plan
00:17:04.880
ccap for short so it was released in draft form in late summer and i went through it with a fine
00:17:11.580
tooth comb because i was concerned about what it was going to do and i saw the seeds of critical race
00:17:17.980
theory sprinkled throughout with terms like equity 135 times diversity 104 times inclusion 108 times
00:17:25.740
none of which were ever defined in fact the term cultural competence was never defined
00:17:30.200
what was defined in there was the term microaggressions which put an emphasis on they could be verbal or
00:17:37.280
non-verbal intentional or unintentional very much in the mind of the beholder if you will
00:17:43.120
targeting persons that are marginalized or underrepresented groups never defining that either and so it was
00:17:52.980
clear i i read some of it it is so it is so well written that it could include everything i mean i was
00:17:59.480
bowled over by the line making eye contact or not making eye contact could be racist it's like
00:18:07.380
correct so you pretty much have everything covered here
00:18:10.860
pretty much and that was a big problem for me my child's young but i don't want her to grow up in a
00:18:19.220
system where they're constantly infiltrating the curriculum with this nonsense and it's really
00:18:25.860
antithetical to the idea of human liberty and freedom and human flourishing which is what education
00:18:30.880
is supposed to be about so south south lake i i don't know why you moved to south lake but if you
00:18:38.360
have kids probably a good deal had to do with the school district it is a great town um it's heavily
00:18:46.780
influenced uh in a positive way by by the people at gateway uh church um so it's a just a good
00:18:54.880
decent town the the the school is one of the best in uh the country the best in in texas and
00:19:03.480
all of a sudden they come in and they start making claims that south lake is a as deep-seated racism
00:19:10.780
uh in its roots and the school is racist and what they are teaching the teachers uh and having the
00:19:18.600
teachers spew is is poison poison on for south lake and for the kids
00:19:24.540
yes sir absolutely poison i will say that the vast majority of our teachers and principals are
00:19:33.220
outstanding they're outstanding not just educators but human beings so i don't want to blame them
00:19:38.840
they don't control the curriculum um as it's written but i see this uh moving in and kind of
00:19:45.120
getting its the camel getting its nose under the tent and i thought you know what i need to stand
00:19:49.000
against this it's the right thing to do we don't need to divide our kids into oppressors and
00:19:54.640
oppressed based on their immutable physical characteristics the way god made them okay so
00:20:00.400
what happened you you everybody goes to the school board and start to speak up against it and what
00:20:08.620
happens well it's what you would expect to happen from the left so as soon as people started to speak
00:20:14.360
up the proponents of ccap uh immediately came back and accused our entire side of being racist and this
00:20:22.200
is typical for the progressive neo-marxist post-modern thought wherein they don't consider that there's
00:20:31.600
any possible factors uh other than racism for disagreement well this is i remember i just want
00:20:39.920
to remind uh everybody that that one is a guy that makes eye contact and sometimes doesn't make eye
00:20:46.860
contact so you know right there how racist he is uh so they they started throwing everybody under the
00:20:54.520
under the bus uh and then what well so then we started to do a lot of open records requests through
00:21:02.880
the uh an organization called south lake families pack uh which is an association of like-minded
00:21:08.720
individuals that want to make sure that we maintain parental authority in our schools and on our school
00:21:14.460
board um as as the government is supposed to be set up authority delegated from the people to
00:21:21.240
government at all echelons and what we found one of the troubling things we found was that the
00:21:27.460
administration had applied for voca grant this is victims of crime act and what they were trying to do
00:21:33.800
is criminalize the microaggressions which we previously said could be anything in order to get money
00:21:40.500
now you know mr beck this is one of the most affluent communities in all of texas we have a tradition of
00:21:47.480
excellence in our school and in terms of academics sports every area you can think of and we don't have
00:21:53.760
any real discernible disparate impact among the demographic groups and yet here we are with some
00:22:00.320
folks thinking it would be a good idea to take money meant for victims of actual crime funnel it into
00:22:05.660
this society uh for the purpose of criminalizing microaggressions that's obscene obscene it is so
00:22:14.020
what what happened with the uh the the carroll school trustees that have been now indicted of violating
00:22:21.980
the open meetings act yes sir so there were two trustees uh that were accused of violating the texas
00:22:29.240
open meetings act which basically says you can't have a walking quorum you can't have
00:22:33.060
meetings in secret deliberations in secret and and we believe they were deliberating to implement
00:22:39.320
ccap in secret um and and an investigation started in the wake of a lawsuit that was filed by one of
00:22:46.480
the parents and this particular parent has gotten a lot of flack from the left about this lawsuit how
00:22:51.600
dare you sue our schools but the truth of the matter is the school system deserved to be sued yes and so
00:22:58.360
uh the authorities started to investigate the on a criminal basis and you know had enough evidence
00:23:05.020
to make two arrests we had two school board members that were arrested i think at their homes they paid
00:23:11.120
500 bond and were released and within 48 hours were back sitting in their seats at the next school
00:23:17.020
board meeting oh my gosh oh my gosh so what's next what what what how how far on the fight on this are you
00:23:29.740
and what's next we think as a group we think we've pretty well uh defeated the imposition of the ccap
00:23:39.340
there are some people that still want to uh push its implementation what we're starting to see now
00:23:45.440
is uh a revision of their words they're not talking ccap anymore now they're talking
00:23:52.000
diversity equity and inclusion or as i like to say the diversity inclusion and equity religion the die
00:23:58.220
religion um and they've taken to dropping the word equity suddenly uh because we have an election going
00:24:04.860
on right now and the final day of voting is may 1st for local uh south lake city council mayor and
00:24:13.560
school board positions and so we're keeping an eye on that the one thing i would say is and i think
00:24:20.720
this is true across the board around the country the the mainstream media has really become
00:24:27.520
the center of gravity for the left's movement they they use them to push their false narratives
00:24:33.040
and prevent any kind of counter messaging they suppress us with that so i want to thank you
00:24:38.840
specifically for having me on to talk about this because folks like you uh fox the federalist are
00:24:45.380
able to amplify our voice and get our ideas out there we are not scared of having the debate having
00:24:51.020
an open battle of ideas because we know our our ideas are better but the left always wants to suppress
00:24:56.920
our ideas because they want control they don't care about a battle of ideas which is precisely the
00:25:02.380
opposite of what we should be teaching our children in our schools one i i wanted to have you on for a
00:25:08.400
couple of reasons one uh i've seen you speak and you you were amazing two uh you guys are making a
00:25:17.780
real difference uh i mean you could change the makeup of the school board in this election and change the
00:25:25.440
the the whole route that uh southlake was taking in the school district if you remain vigilant on it
00:25:32.720
because they will just come back they'll morph and they'll come back um but the other is there are so
00:25:38.800
many people that think that happening in my community southlake the school system is fantastic
00:25:45.960
there is it is not a racist community it's they have no racial problems to speak of uh in the
00:25:55.180
in the school district and it's riddled with this critical race theory now and it just came in
00:26:02.020
overnight and i wanted people to understand this is happening in your community as well
00:26:07.320
yes sir absolutely and i think it's important for people to realize how the left operates so
00:26:15.960
we see this in the younger grades my daughter's in k through four with something called social and
00:26:21.660
emotional learning and you know you can look that up on the internet and you'll see that it's one of
00:26:26.460
the latest fads to come out in uh education circles but the truth is what it does is it prioritizes and
00:26:33.380
emphasizes the primacy of emotion over thought and so it serves as a primer for the tactics of the left
00:26:41.080
to impose these kind of critical race theory ideas in the later school years and so we have from the
00:26:48.660
left the main argument is what about these 300 plus depending on who you talk to it's between 300
00:26:53.760
and 400 plus testimonies of people who were quote unquote abused in carol isd but you'll note that
00:27:02.520
none of them have ever been investigated there's no real evidence i'm not saying that discrimination
00:27:07.660
doesn't happen at all i've been subjected to it over the course of my life but i am saying that if it's
00:27:15.220
really that big of a problem every single instance should be investigated and just as it's not my
00:27:20.400
purview to deny someone's quote-unquote lived experience neither is it my responsibility to
00:27:27.600
affirm it without evidence otherwise you find yourself in a situation like we saw with the
00:27:32.640
kavanaugh hearings believe all insert demographic group women people of color uh individuals that are
00:27:41.260
have same-sex attraction whatever you want to put in there fill in the blank that is a recipe for
00:27:46.320
breaking our country apart and we have to stand against that one you just retired from your military
00:27:54.920
service uh a very honorable one and it looks like you're just not really retiring you're still doing
00:28:02.840
the same thing well sir i took an oath to defend to support and defend the constitution against all
00:28:10.100
enemies foreign and domestic on the plane of west point when i was 18 years old and that didn't go
00:28:15.780
away when i retired um and i you know unlike some people i took it upon myself to say well you know
00:28:21.840
if i'm going to support and defend the constitution i should darn well know what's in it and what you
00:28:26.680
find is and i don't want to go too far afield here but what you find is if you really look at it
00:28:31.620
what's in the constitution is the codification of our natural rights these are the enlightenment
00:28:36.960
principles that our founders laid down on paper and said we have inherent rights that were given to
00:28:43.880
us in a state of nature by god that are discernible by reason and we don't want to have a society where
00:28:49.440
we solve our problems with violence we want to have a society where we solve our problems with debate
00:28:54.560
violence is the last least preferable option but we only go to that when we have to
00:29:00.420
and so that's where we are right now it's time for parents everywhere to stand up against this
00:29:06.640
fight for what they know is right before it's too late
00:29:09.480
