The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Mark Levin & Sean Larkin

00:00:00.000 welcome to the podcast today we have mark levin on the program great great i mean what he has to say

00:00:06.800 is uh really akin to um thomas paine and the american crisis which actually got the guys

00:00:15.340 to turn around with george washington and go into the boat and cross the delaware

00:00:19.660 uh you don't want to miss mark levin uh also we uh we told you a little bit about

00:00:26.380 the conspiracy theory that is all very well laid out called the great reset it was called system x

00:00:34.760 by the guy who actually coined the phrase the the new deal uh back in the 1940s he laid it out and

00:00:43.660 if you look at it it's all being done and it is almost verbatim what joe biden is talking about

00:00:50.960 today all this and so much more on today's podcast

00:00:54.840 my next guest is a good dear friend an amazing patriot i think he's the closest we have

00:01:19.180 in the conservative world to a william f buckley today uh to say he's a talk show host is kind of

00:01:25.480 an insult he is a scholar which is also kind of an insult he's the good kind of uh scholar who knows

00:01:32.860 the truth uh can see the patterns and can see a path forward and shows us how to fight back uh if he

00:01:41.040 were a founding father i think he would be john adams welcome to the program mr mark levin

00:01:47.260 wow i should come on more often thank you very very much you're you're welcome so you have a new

00:01:55.100 book out called american marxism and i got a lot of questions uh about it it's an excellent excellent

00:02:02.720 book um you don't need me praising it to uh to uh sell it but you go into the the revolution that is

00:02:12.400 happening right now and you say i mean your first chapter is it's here could you do me a favor

00:02:18.560 i want you to talk to somebody who is not engaged in daily politics they're not they're not they don't

00:02:25.880 listen to us they're still being led by their feelings they think they're doing good by being

00:02:31.540 anti-racist or they think they're being good by standing up for all the things that these marxists

00:02:37.680 are standing up for convince them that this is happening it's real and it's going to destroy all

00:02:46.200 of us this is a great question and it's really the embodiment of the entire first chapter and the

00:02:54.220 title american marxism first of all we who do understand what's taking place have got to stop

00:03:00.740 being intimidated this isn't progressivism or social activism or democratic socialism this is

00:03:07.720 marxism now it may not be marxism in every particular but it is an americanized form of

00:03:13.100 marxism now how do we know that because they tell us that that's what their people write about their

00:03:18.940 founders in the 60s and 50s and 40s and even in the 70s so what i would say to the and i do to my

00:03:26.180 audience too what i would say to people is first of all you need to pay attention to what's taking

00:03:30.700 place secondly you need to turn off cnn and msnbc and stop reading the new york times and the

00:03:36.600 washington post thirdly you've seen it with your own two eyes you saw the riots all summer long

00:03:42.980 you saw black lives matter which is headed by openly proud marxists you see antifa which is a

00:03:50.600 marxist anarchist organization you see the media that you have been watching and reading endorse

00:03:56.640 every single one of these movements there's not a distinction of any kind between what happens on

00:04:02.940 television and what black lives matter is promoting or even antifa is promoting and they also cover up

00:04:09.620 the violence or try to dismiss it same with the democrat party the democrat party talk to them say

00:04:16.340 don't you believe in an independent judiciary when you go to court do you want politicians sitting

00:04:20.580 on the bench or do you want judges sitting on the bench well the democrats want politicians sitting

00:04:25.880 on the bench they want to destroy separation of powers they want to destroy the functioning of the

00:04:31.160 senate by packing it with democrats they want to destroy the way the uh the the legislative process

00:04:37.560 works so even if it's 50 50 in the senate or a four vote majority in the house they can fundamentally

00:04:43.920 alter our constitutional system do you like the money you earn do you like the home you own do you like

00:04:49.560 the community you're in well joe biden has signed executive orders to destroy all of it

00:04:54.300 uh with his attack on the suburbs and also in the cities do you like your local school system do you

00:05:01.180 like where your kids are being educated crime infested kids aren't graduating they're not going on to

00:05:06.380 college why do you tolerate that well the democrats are preventing us from having school choice they're

00:05:11.460 preventing us from having any form of freedom and competition in the inner cities

00:05:15.800 and so i would explain this on a level that apparently the republican leadership cannot explain

00:05:22.040 it the book tries to do that look this is a unique book for me it's at three levels one there's heavy

00:05:27.480 scholarship but i explain it so i might take a paragraph from one of them and then have a paragraph

00:05:33.800 explaining it right you need to i thank you for that because if you read marks it's it's it's i mean

00:05:41.340 mind-boggling how ridiculous uh and convoluted i think it is the other thing is he destroys the

00:05:51.360 idea of an individual and you're talking to an individual you say you know you lead your own life

00:05:56.100 you have your family if you do you have your career that you want there's things you like to do when it

00:06:01.580 comes to marks he eliminates all that you have to work for the state it's what the state wants

00:06:06.440 he believes that you have to surrender your liberty you have to surrender your property

00:06:11.540 to the best interest of the state and what's the state joe biden and nancy pelosi and chuck

00:06:17.320 schumer and faceless bureaucrats who don't even know who you are you're going to surrender your life

00:06:22.220 and your family it's it's a form of involuntary servitude that's what marxism is so basically we have

00:06:29.760 to um people have been brainwashed or as i say in the first chapter people have not been paying

00:06:34.780 attention or they view this as a passing fad and i try to make the case in the first chapter no it's

00:06:40.820 not and we all need to wake up to this and if we have little differences moderate democrats and

00:06:45.820 libertarians and so forth you better put them aside right now because we have a common enemy

00:06:50.080 i say enemy not opponent not adversary enemy and we need to be focused on defeating that enemy

00:06:57.000 rather than fighting among ourselves you know a footnote on this glenn because you know

00:07:01.500 you're a man of faith i'm a man of faith i think of the second temple in israel in jerusalem

00:07:07.160 and while the romans for four four and a half years were attacking the temple trying to slaughter

00:07:14.060 the jews they were fighting among themselves they were they were fighting among themselves

00:07:19.840 as they were being attacked they were attacking each other while the temple fell there's no guarantee

00:07:26.920 that this country will survive as a free country we're not looking into the abyss now we're in the

00:07:32.660 abyss and we have to figure out how to claw our way out and so not to jump ahead this book is six

00:07:39.380 chapters of explanation and one chapter of activism it is it for me it's a very unique book in the way

00:07:47.080 that i wrote it i think it's by far my most important book given what's going on today but you look at the

00:07:52.460 attack on the cops you look at sorrows with the prosecutors you look at phony bail reform you look

00:07:59.900 at the open board all these things are intended to destroy our system destroy our culture destroy

00:08:08.140 our tradition destroy our mores now if that's not marxism what the hell is it so let me ask you because

00:08:15.020 you go into this in depth and i i can't thank you enough for you know the cloward and piven uh mentions

00:08:21.840 in there you really the guy that really let me just give you a little kudos here you're the guy

00:08:26.880 that brought them to my attention to most of the countries and um and the husband's dead and she

00:08:32.900 hates her guts by the way oh i'm very well aware of that very well aware of that i wear it as a badge

00:08:38.740 of honor um but you go into all of this and i think mark that there is there are two things going on

00:08:45.840 and uh i think that what's it what is so strange that people can't figure out what they're like what

00:08:54.740 is happening um because you have giant corporations involved in this and marxist well those two don't go

00:09:03.800 together and i think the the elites the real elites the the very very wealthy corporations uh and uh people like

00:09:15.500 um uh klaus schwab i i think that they are using these marxist revolutionaries um as useful idiots

00:09:26.680 they're going to destroy it and we'll be there with the answer and it won't be what the marxists want

00:09:33.360 i have a little different take on this okay i think and either of us could be right because who knows

00:09:39.800 i know i think these corporations have decided that the other side's going to win and these are

00:09:47.220 not capitalists they're corporatists yes and you see them they operate in china they operate they

00:09:53.300 operate they operated during the third right uh and because china needs them and the third right

00:09:59.400 needed them as long as they behave as they demand and i think a lot of these corporatists are no

00:10:04.580 difference and that is this they believe the democrat party they believe the culture they

00:10:10.400 believe it's all been conquered and uh rather than face the wrath uh they're going to throw in with

00:10:17.500 them they'll pay the higher taxes they'll deal with the regulations and they will use them to help crush

00:10:23.180 their opponents which is what they're doing which is what the democrat party's trying to do with the

00:10:27.660 voting rules with the republicans and they'll use them to crush their opponents and uh because for

00:10:33.800 the democrat party glenn it's about the democrat party like a marxist party what what is what what is

00:10:40.200 china it's the communist party what is cuba it's the communist party what is north korea it's the

00:10:45.460 communist part the country's irrelevant the people don't matter right the powers in the party well

00:10:50.420 what is the democrat party trying to do you're going to have uh joe biden who's going to go on

00:10:55.940 about jim crow and attack these republican legislatures because that's all that stands

00:11:00.300 between them and absolute control of this country they did it in california they've done their

00:11:05.420 experiments in different states now they want to nationalize the process so it doesn't matter if you

00:11:10.540 vote it doesn't matter well if the state legislature is a republican they are going to nationalize it

00:11:15.680 they're going to have one party rule because the power the authority the allegiances to the party

00:11:21.480 let me ask you corporations i think see this let me ask you about crt you've got a whole chapter

00:11:28.840 on crt but you go into um uh lat crit which most people don't even know about um and it is this it's

00:11:40.040 it's going to be the same argument that they're using now on um on crt which is oh that's just an

00:11:48.860 obscure legal thing it's not really even anything can you talk about lat crit and also crt and because

00:11:59.400 you you call it out as evil it's so obscure they're obsessed with it and they're teaching it everywhere

00:12:06.100 yeah um lat crit look they talk about intersectionality and this is the way they pull in all these these

00:12:13.740 marxist movements that have been spawned from marxism they're american marxist movements americanized

00:12:19.080 movements and i explain in the book a guy by the name of herbert marcus who was a marxist in berlin

00:12:25.500 uh after world war one the communists and the fascists were fighting hitler took over he couldn't

00:12:31.600 understand why the proletariat didn't rise up and you'll notice something the proletariat never rises up

00:12:37.140 it's always a cabal or a third or whatever it is in the population taking charge there is no rising

00:12:42.760 up of any proletariat bottom there's no proletariat in this country rising up it's the middle class do

00:12:47.580 you think the middle class wants to overthrow the government no so anyway this guy was trying to

00:12:53.500 he comes he escapes germany comes to the united states he winds up working for three different

00:12:58.720 ivy league colleges where he's tenured and he's spreading this marxism crap and he can't he can't figure out

00:13:05.520 and so he comes up with critical theory the franklin school all these marxists and he's the lead

00:13:12.100 critical theory which is which is spawned in our law schools harvard stanford and so forth which is

00:13:18.920 all law is corrupt now why is it corrupt because it needs to be viewed through the eyes of those who've

00:13:25.260 made it and not the victims of it and so there's another professor by the name of derrick bell said this

00:13:32.320 is a great idea i'm going to apply that to race that is you have to view everything through race

00:13:39.980 and because we have this white dominant society everything wrong in this society everything right

00:13:46.920 of course is as a result of the minorities but everything wrong as a result of the majority

00:13:50.760 and so it's this white dominant culture if we don't destroy this then there'll never be equity

00:13:58.080 and they reject a colorblind society they reject martin luther king they despise the whole civil

00:14:03.620 rights movement that's crazy as marx despised socialism because he said these halfway measures

00:14:08.820 are stopping the revolution so it comes from him it comes from this guy derrick bell and what it is

00:14:16.140 what does marx say destroy history don't the world begins today destroy history the monuments come down

00:14:23.780 the books are burning we're going to brainwash our kids in school on race it's really being

00:14:29.400 they're really being brainwashed on marxism and you have some very smart people showing up at these

00:14:35.380 school board meetings and they're pointing it out and we need to have the guts not to be intimidated

00:14:40.740 to call what it is we're with mark levin he is uh our partner here at blaze tv uh he's the host of

00:14:49.880 levin tv author of i think this is this will be your seventh consecutive number one book i believe

00:14:56.040 it's uh called american marxism he believes and i believe that's a hard one to choose uh i believe

00:15:03.780 at least one of his most important books if not the most important book that he has written

00:15:10.100 it comes out today so let's let's go to lat crit quickly and then i want to talk about chapter seven

00:15:16.560 sorry i've got the worst cell phone in america i'm sure it was made in china anyway so um guarantee

00:15:22.460 it that grid very quickly is the is an ideology that that takes from critical race theories as

00:15:27.660 you surmised and it's being pushed in our colleges now it's called the chicano movement and basically

00:15:33.880 what it says is bottom line the illegal aliens are the white people in america because you see

00:15:40.620 the white protestant europeans conquered this territory and so we are the illegal aliens and i'm

00:15:49.400 not protestant but that's beside the point the majority are the illegal aliens the indigenous peoples

00:15:55.520 are the people of the two americas north and south america so if they're pouring across the border

00:16:00.600 they're doing nothing more than taking back what belongs to them now by the way most of these marxists

00:16:04.740 don't look at the middle east that way they don't say hey you know what the jews were there 4 000 years

00:16:09.100 ago no no no they don't view it that way so and and if you're speaking spanish uh that that is most

00:16:17.000 likely but because you're not indigenous you you have relatives and uh and genealogy that will go

00:16:24.760 back to spain spain conquered you know mexico what are you talking about it's all so uh result

00:16:34.080 oriented it's also so preposterous but this is why the borders open because biden is a foil he's an

00:16:40.740 empty suit and these radical agendas you go down each one that's why they're being pushed now you

00:16:45.300 wanted to get to the last chapter i don't want to step on your toes so let's go to the last chapter

00:16:51.040 you're proposing a way forward and it includes um boycotts and i have we have two minutes i happen to

00:17:00.040 agree with martin luther king he said if it wasn't for the boycotts we wouldn't have had any teeth and

00:17:04.540 it wouldn't wouldn't have worked but that goes against so many people uh you know conservatives

00:17:10.840 generally are like hey listen they have a right to say that i'm not going to boycott give me your plan

00:17:16.420 your way forward here in a two minute period gee i seem to remember we had a revolution where they

00:17:22.060 boycotted a lot british goods and so forth and so on my attitude is this the bds movement and i

00:17:28.680 explain it in detail 10 000 words in that chapter we would apply the bds movement an anti-semitic

00:17:34.440 movement aimed to destroy israel boycott divest and so forth and sanction against our enemies not

00:17:41.720 because we're anti-semitic but these are pretty good tactics um same with alinsky we should target

00:17:48.520 groups and expose them same with cloward and piven we should overwhelm a perfect example shareholder

00:17:54.600 meetings the conservatives even go to shareholder meetings leftists do and they raise their voices

00:17:59.540 about so-called climate change well you know what we ought to start showing up in moss we ought to be

00:18:04.840 going to board meetings and there are organizations out there and i provide links and contacts throughout

00:18:10.380 the last chapter this is what they do we need to join them we need to create a network of what i call

00:18:15.700 community committees and county after county where we share information and so forth there's a lot of

00:18:21.280 that in the last chapter if people want to check it out mark levin uh this isn't uh thomas paine's

00:18:28.060 common sense this is the american crisis uh which got the guys back into the boats and had them

00:18:35.720 go back north and cross the delaware uh mark thank you so much it is available everywhere you get books

00:18:42.760 it is out today it is called american marxism by mark levin

00:18:48.220 the best of the glenn beck program

00:18:54.220 so we have to be eternally vigilant and new technologies that can change the world and uh

00:19:11.880 overthrow our freedoms let me give you a story from yesterday the biden administration casting

00:19:16.740 conservative opponents of the covid 19 vaccine campaign as dangerous and extreme this is new

00:19:24.180 terminology from them if you don't believe in the vaccine which i do i just choose not to get it

00:19:31.980 because i've already had covid i still have the antibodies i'm gonna let my body do the work but

00:19:39.920 i have no problem if somebody wants to take the vaccine i would not give it to my kids

00:19:44.760 but i certainly would recommend it for for my parents or anybody else in fact we've urged our

00:19:51.740 parents to get it and they have but if you don't take it you are dangerous and extreme

00:20:00.280 now this is a political posture and the reason why they're doing it is to convince people that

00:20:10.560 we should take it you hey you dangerous extremist you should get the vaccine uh i don't think no i don't

00:20:23.140 think you're calling me a dangerous extremist and you're going door to door now fauci said yesterday

00:20:31.160 that you know there's this this misunderstanding a bunch of federal workers knocking on your door

00:20:36.860 telling you got to do something you don't want to do he said that's not what it is it's not the case

00:20:40.840 it's trusted messengers who are part of the community doing that not government officials

00:20:46.360 i don't care who it is i don't care who it is why not just give the vaccine to my doctor

00:20:54.780 and my doctor can help me make the decision and my doctor can give me the vaccine when i'm in the office

00:21:01.060 i get my flu shot that way why can't why can't i do that wouldn't make sense now there's something

00:21:06.440 buried in this story and here's what it is biden allied groups including the democratic

00:21:15.760 national committee are also planning to engage fact checkers more aggressively and work with sms

00:21:26.440 carriers to dispel misinformation about vaccines that are sent over social media and text messages

00:21:35.500 huh now the story goes back into how the biden administration want to take politics completely

00:21:44.900 out of this but wait hold it just a second wait the democratic national committee and biden allied

00:21:52.620 groups are planning to engage fact checkers more aggressively and work with sms carriers to dispel

00:21:59.720 misinformation about vaccines that are sent over social media and text messages now i've got a few

00:22:09.480 questions that apparently the politico doesn't want to answer uh or don't don't even think that they're

00:22:16.300 they're important in responding to the political story leslie palma she just a average american just said i

00:22:25.400 think you buried the lead in your story dnc reading text messages is pretty damn scary well the author at

00:22:33.200 politico said as the story points out it's allied private groups that are working with sms carriers

00:22:41.180 not the white house right right right she didn't say that she said it's the dnc reading text messages

00:22:48.760 which is what you wrote in your story even then there's no ability for groups to read individual

00:22:56.500 texts aside from the ones they received themselves uh-huh could you clarify a couple of uh things for me

00:23:03.020 how does the dnc define misinformation i'd like to know what misinformation is i'd like a clear

00:23:09.860 definition so i can avoid those things um and and how would the sms carriers know when so-called

00:23:18.400 misinformation is being spread over text are they now reading all of our texts they have an algorithm

00:23:26.300 that is doing that so what are you telling the algorithm to look for and how do you dispel that

00:23:34.880 misinformation i'd like answers politico uh natasha karecki could you could you could you fill us in on

00:23:45.060 that maybe a update on your story and just help us out because things are starting to seem a little 1984

00:23:54.820 klaus schwab has called now he's the from the world economic forum he's the guy the leader of the great

00:24:04.880 reset he says it is time to immunize the internet because there are viruses being spread on the internet

00:24:12.600 and we have to know who's spreading these viruses uh-huh i think we might have a different definition

00:24:20.380 of virus klaus now what they're saying is they want everyone to have to have biometric data

00:24:30.600 whenever they get online so there's a fingerprint on who it is uh-huh and it's going to be um you know

00:24:39.760 it's going to be for your safety really that's what it is we'll be able to know exactly who everybody

00:24:46.180 is exactly what they tweet what they read what they do it'll be fantastic and it will never be abused

00:24:53.000 by the way in a completely unrelated story i told you yesterday about the new bill that came out last

00:25:01.860 week to put the government in charge of your credit score the idea is to dramatically overhaul the u.s

00:25:11.000 credit reporting industry oh my gosh the comprehensive credit act and the protecting your credit score

00:25:22.120 act of 2021 is a bill now under consideration it's coming from the consumer financial protection bureau

00:25:31.280 that is the elizabeth warren group that she set up under barack obama and they're going to take

00:25:38.700 the the uh responsibility away from these quote profit-seeking companies it's why these profit-seeking

00:25:50.560 credit bureaus are constantly expanding their products into uses such as employment insurance

00:25:56.540 tenant screening that ultimately harms americans and contributes to the massive inequality in our nation

00:26:03.260 so what they're saying is they need to take it over because there's no fairness built into these

00:26:11.520 profit-seeking companies do you realize what control the united states government will have

00:26:21.280 over your life if they are the one issuing your social credit and believe me it will become

00:26:31.640 social credit it's it's not based on your financial ability it's not based on merit it's not based on what

00:26:39.360 you make how you spend it it's not based on really anything traditional it's a dramatic overhaul

00:26:48.360 by the way the banks are are deep deeply in bed now with uh with esg

00:27:01.260 that is a new credit score that all of us will have when i say that it's going to get harder and harder

00:27:09.120 for you to get alone it is going to be harder and harder for you to get alone you remember this is

00:27:17.440 nothing new if you are found to be a dangerous extremist in any socialist nation by the way you notice

00:27:27.760 that the the democratic socialist party um they're not over in sweden right now saying hey can you give

00:27:35.320 us some of your good ideas they're in venezuela right now talking to madura can you give us some of

00:27:42.260 your ideas i thought this is all about sweden not about that kind of socialism

00:27:47.440 i guess you were lying to us what a surprise what's happening right now is the great reset

00:27:57.540 but it is not a conspiracy theory it is a conspiracy fact it is my contention that the marxist movement

00:28:09.260 they are being these are useful idiots they are being used by very powerful corporations and our

00:28:17.480 government and they believe that the only way that we're going to be able to survive as a nation

00:28:24.440 is to get the government and big business in together so they can make the decisions on what we should

00:28:32.440 consume what we should build how we should move what we should wear what our co2 footprint is right

00:28:41.600 now if i were a tree i'd be like these people are so stupid is what i breathe in as a tree i just want

00:28:50.420 you to know i want to show you that it is a long standing goal of the left a long standing goal

00:29:02.420 of the left to do this i want you to listen to the goals of 1941 uh something that was written by

00:29:09.920 stewart chase uh and the obama administration used a lot of the words of stewart chase remember

00:29:18.600 his uh second campaign was the road we are traveling do you remember that his second campaign used that

00:29:28.200 slogan a lot the road we are traveling and what did biden use biden used built back better well that's the

00:29:37.200 world economic forum but if you look at the goals of the world economic forum and then you look at the

00:29:42.400 goals of stewart chase on in a book called the road we are traveling they sound familiar now in this book

00:29:51.760 um they talk about um a managerial revolution that things just need to be managed we don't need all

00:30:05.020 these messy elections and everything else we just need a managerial uh revolution and they thought

00:30:11.660 originally that that was going to be fascism or communism but then fascism and communism got a bad

00:30:18.880 name in the 1930s so they had to change it and they didn't know what to call it and so they called it

00:30:26.000 free enterprise into x now what is the goal of the great reset the goal of the great reset is to change

00:30:36.960 capitalism to change the free enterprise into something called stakeholder uh capitalism it don't don't make no

00:30:46.980 mistake it's not capitalism it's statism and the state doesn't own the companies but the state takes

00:30:55.220 over the role of managing a lot of companies i want to go through and tell me if this isn't been done

00:31:04.980 verbatim and this does not read like it did five years ago free enterprise into system x a strong

00:31:14.720 centralized government look at what they're doing right now with the voting rights look what they're

00:31:21.460 doing what are they doing they are going against the constitution and trying to federalize all of the

00:31:29.300 elections there's no better example today of a strong centralized government than what's going on

00:31:36.220 today every single day and they're trying to use this texas democratic walkout today with

00:31:43.140 in combination with a biden speech to try to bring that issue home yeah and they're they're going to do

00:31:49.140 their their best uh by the way you want to talk about a strong centralized uh government on page nine

00:31:58.580 of biden's conservation plan uh there are 15 governors now who are standing up and saying wait a minute this is

00:32:06.080 a land grab it's the 30 by 30 plan and the 50 by 50 the federal government wants to own

00:32:15.440 30 percent of all land in america by 2030 what are they at now do we know no i don't it's because

00:32:26.560 they own a lot of the west they own a lot of the west yeah but but that's mostly it the west um

00:32:33.380 or they want 30 percent of all of the uh land and then 50 percent of all the land why well listen to

00:32:41.820 this they also want control of banking credit and security exchanges by the government you effectively

00:32:50.280 have that through the fed it's a public private partnership credit they are now taking over

00:32:57.620 this is 1941 stewart chase the guy who who coined the term the new deal

00:33:05.380 the underwriting of employment by the government aren't we seeing that right now kind of it's

00:33:12.220 you're not working oh totally i mean they've now released this program where they're sending you

00:33:17.800 monthly checks for your child credit the underwriting of social security by the government

00:33:22.480 old age pensions unemployment insurance and the like listen to this one the underwriting of food

00:33:29.100 housing and medical care by the government the united states is already expend experimenting with

00:33:35.180 providing these essentials other nations are far along the road food housing medical care all in part

00:33:42.720 yeah you know not a hundred percent but partially already done you're hearing people talk about

00:33:47.980 expanding all the yes all the time to food and and housing you can't have a basic living wage without a

00:33:55.420 house that goes with it look at what's happening in oakland where they're saying no more single housing

00:34:01.320 units um this is moving quickly uh and i want to continue down this because it is astounding

00:34:10.900 how far the left has come in about 173 days they are closing this deal on us and americans need to stand up

00:34:23.400 this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening

00:34:30.660 we are uh thrilled to have sean larkin in uh he is the former host of live pd which was canceled

00:34:47.520 immediately uh for i think you'd be better to tell us sean but i think because you were making cops look

00:34:54.300 good crazy concept yeah you know uh people want transparency if it involves seeing the police

00:35:01.340 doing something wrong but they don't want that transparency when it shows what society is doing

00:35:05.920 wrong and what police have to do day to day to deal with it i mean i remember when cops first came out

00:35:10.800 and i was watching cops it was not about the cops it was about how stupid and fat americans are

00:35:16.800 you know what i mean it was just like what i don't i just remember thinking that what an imbecile this

00:35:23.800 person is right right well you know that's a day in the life of a police officer unfortunately you do

00:35:28.080 cross a lot of those type of those type of people on a daily on a daily basis but you know the difference

00:35:33.940 between cops and live pd was cops kind of showed like a 30 minute segment that was edited down for three

00:35:40.900 pieces basically and live pd showed america hey this is the job of law enforcement in the country

00:35:47.300 and you know that's why it showed some of the rural areas um it showed the urban areas so you in one

00:35:53.440 episode you would see what cops were dealing with in in montana well literally on one episode we had

00:35:58.360 a bear up in a tree at a hospital there but then we were bouncing to somewhere else in the country where

00:36:03.140 guys are in a pursuit with some gang members um and so it just got to show the public hey this is what

00:36:08.160 this job really is it's not the little cut down pieces that's you know clickbait on social media

00:36:13.880 or the big things that lead off the news i have so many questions um mainly regarding how frightening

00:36:20.000 was that to do to do a live television show where it could be horrible and nothing happens uh or

00:36:30.600 something really bad could happen and you're there you're live you had a basic delay but that's it

00:36:37.180 yeah it had a small delay you know similar to like uh you know live sports does in case some guy

00:36:41.340 streaks across the field or something like that you know so it did have that built in um and that's

00:36:46.140 exactly it though you would have a friday night where we thought man it's going to be off the

00:36:50.300 chain tonight it's going to be crazy and it was three hours of just nothing going on um you know we

00:36:54.560 had eight different departments and so you got to bounce around of nothing going on in eight

00:36:58.080 different cities and then you'd have a saturday night where it's raining in half the country and it

00:37:02.220 was crazy um but again that's what law enforcement is you you don't know it uh you don't know what's

00:37:07.500 going to happen and i i think this is one of the things i grew up in the pacific northwest and

00:37:12.400 you know in a little teeny town of about 30 000 i think maybe less than that when i was there and so

00:37:19.040 you knew the cops and everything else and you got out of the car you were stopped you got out of the

00:37:22.760 car you kind of met him halfway you're like officer what am i doing well i did that i'm 18 years old and

00:37:28.660 i did that when i moved to baltimore maryland oh my little different little different a little

00:37:35.360 different i got out of my car and they drew guns on me and said what get into your car and i'm like

00:37:42.280 oh okay okay uh and the the cop said to me what are you doing and what i didn't realize is how many

00:37:49.100 cops had been shot right around that time two officers were just shot in baltimore this morning

00:37:55.380 correct yeah you have no idea what you're walking into none um you know i was a cop in tulsa for

00:38:02.380 24 and a half years and i just retired about seven or eight weeks ago um you know and i supervised the

00:38:08.920 gang unit there since 2008 and during that time and we took literally thousands of guns uh you know

00:38:14.620 off the streets from guys that shouldn't have them and we were very very fortunate um you know

00:38:19.080 throughout my career i've been in two police shootings a couple other guys in my squad have been

00:38:22.560 shootings as well but you don't know you don't know if that car stopped that door you're going

00:38:27.040 through uh you know you know that domestic call you're going through you don't know what's going

00:38:31.420 to happen there are some cops that believe that uh guns in the hands of average people are is not a

00:38:38.160 good you're not a help if you are carrying a weapon uh i don't happen to agree with that but i'm not a

00:38:44.100 cop uh cops generally look at law-abiding citizens with with guns as a help you know i don't know if i'd use the

00:38:51.520 word quote-unquote a help um i think there's just there's speaking from my own experience in tulsa

00:38:55.860 there's very few isolated incidents where a citizen who was armed has had to intervene or do something

00:39:01.560 um but you know the the stories we see across the country where somebody whether they're in a business

00:39:06.640 where a rush a robbery's happened or some guy's out with his family and you know somebody tries to

00:39:11.520 rob them defending themselves i'm all for it you know um i i am all for it i wish at times citizens

00:39:17.340 definitely did get more involved you know now what you see and just speaking from a law enforcement

00:39:22.020 perspective you know everybody just wants to record everything on their cell phone rather than

00:39:25.440 taking action or help that's it or help real quick because i want to get to the book um you uh in

00:39:31.680 chicago they're now going to send in federal uh officers and they're going to clean it up they're

00:39:36.960 saying what the problem is is that those suburbs are just you know those gun stores are the suburbs

00:39:40.980 they're just selling guns they don't care who who has them is that is that is that is that the

00:39:46.680 problem up in chicago listen i can speak for for myself um we i i later supervised what's called

00:39:53.700 the crime gun unit and there are various units like this across the country right now where you are

00:39:57.780 focused strictly on firearms that are used in violent crimes um it's my personal opinion again it's not

00:40:05.720 the ghost guns that are doing it that there's conversations about going after guys making ghost

00:40:09.420 guns those just happen to be law-abiding citizens that love guns and they make their own you know

00:40:14.200 they manufacture their own firearms regardless of what federal government politicians uh administration

00:40:21.400 and some police departments think bad guys are going to get guns period you know it's crazy concept

00:40:27.420 really crazy concept just like drugs you know i mean they want it they're gonna get it so uh you know

00:40:32.780 bringing in i mean listen the help will be great uh you know we worked with our federal partners in

00:40:37.280 the tulsa area at times when it was needed um but you know you got to have proactive policing i don't

00:40:42.760 like the idea that uh federal government gets involved in local policing i mean when they're needed

00:40:48.340 they're needed um but uh i don't like that i don't like the idea of federalizing our police forces i think

00:40:54.120 that's an extraordinarily bad idea what i really um what really bothers me is how cops are viewed now as

00:41:03.040 bad and uh and not good the the the i think majority of people think that most cops are bad uh when it's

00:41:12.360 exactly the the opposite 100 and you can't get i mean the um you uh you can't get a fair hearing

00:41:23.240 even if you go to court that's fine but you are deemed bad wrong racist whatever a killer if you even do

00:41:32.800 your job and you did nothing wrong yeah i mean we they're they're story after story and one of the

00:41:37.800 biggest ones was you know we saw up there uh just outside of minneapolis a few months ago um you know

00:41:43.040 the black female that went to stab another black female yeah and the officer did i don't know if i

00:41:48.520 used the word heroic but he did what he was supposed to do to save somebody from getting injured yeah

00:41:52.760 and you know we had protests we had you know pro athletes you're next putting that person's picture

00:41:57.380 out there and it's like man this guy did his job what he was supposed to do to save somebody else

00:42:01.960 from being possibly killed if not injured and yet still coming after the cops and and that's why

00:42:06.920 glenn you know it's spoken about quite a bit that's why a lot of people are leaving this profession right

00:42:11.400 now you know it's like man i don't want to be this guy that gets my name drug through the media i don't

00:42:15.860 want to get sued for doing my job uh you know the right way but people are still coming after me

00:42:21.300 you in in your book breaking uh breaking blue real life stories of cops falsely accused you were one of

00:42:27.120 them i was yeah um back in 2010 uh there was a federal investigation of police corruption within

00:42:34.460 tulsa police department and there were actually a handful of these going on across the country at

00:42:38.540 the time with eric holder in office and uh bad guys felons people that were facing charges people

00:42:46.580 that were already in prison were being told by federal agents uh u.s attorney's office that was in

00:42:52.280 uh arkansas the times who worked the case that hey if you've got information on cops um we can get

00:42:58.360 your case dismissed or you can get out of prison and we had guys that literally were in prison on life

00:43:02.840 without parole um convictions in jury trials that made allegations against cops that were released

00:43:09.960 just by making an allegation that that was unproven and my name got drug through the mud during that

00:43:15.420 thing um it was put out in the media i was labeled as an unindicted co-conspirator

00:43:19.100 um i was never charged but another officer was charged for some of the things i was of alleged

00:43:24.840 to have been involved with or witnessed and it was blown out of the water when it came time for

00:43:30.200 trial for this officer he was acquitted not only acquitted of those charges but it was literally like

00:43:36.040 these are flat out lies i mean it was shown to be these are lies and nobody was ever held accountable

00:43:40.480 for it you know these bad guys got out of trouble and got to walk the streets and commit more crimes

00:43:45.440 in tulsa and did that officer i mean how has that affected you and that officer to have your name

00:43:50.400 you know like unfortunately the officer he actually he he faced 62 federal counts um went to trial on 58

00:43:58.500 fought every single one of them ultimately was convicted on perjury from a uh a trial he did

00:44:03.880 earlier in his career and a civil rights violation from that same thing um he actually ended up going to

00:44:09.440 federal prison uh up in south dakota he has since out outside of law enforcement now so wait wait wait

00:44:15.740 so he was innocent of what he was what they they charged at the beginning they got him on on something

00:44:23.240 that happened earlier in his career so there was a case that he had testified earlier in his career

00:44:29.220 about a uh he had seen a suspect on the front porch of a house while he was doing surveillance to get a

00:44:34.760 search warrant for the house and during the trial uh of that individual the defense showed that this

00:44:42.060 guy was actually down in actually here in dallas he was actually here down in dallas and not up in

00:44:46.620 tulsa and the officer was adamant the guy that i saw on the porch was you know john doe whatever the

00:44:53.640 name was and he was asked like four or five times are you sure it was john doe you sure it couldn't have

00:44:58.360 been somebody else and you know i don't want to say shame on him he instead of just stating

00:45:03.560 i saw who i believed to be john doe on the front porch would have made things different uh but he

00:45:09.220 stated he you know who i saw was john doe and so the each one of those times that he said that the

00:45:15.280 federal government charged him for account of oh my gosh uh no joke he wasn't out of town he just

00:45:20.180 mistaken identity well the the no yeah exactly yeah exactly the bad guy now the bad guy was out of

00:45:27.100 town was out of town and whoever he saw he believed to be the bad guy and here's what's

00:45:30.580 he actually ran the search warrant on the house the target the bad guy was there when he ran it and

00:45:35.760 they did find drugs and everything it's just that in his affidavit for the search warrant he mistook

00:45:41.040 somebody else as the suspect so he went to federal prison over unbelievable unbelievable yeah um what can

00:45:48.620 the average person do to support the police you know right now i'll be honest just a simple hey we

00:45:55.620 appreciate you you know if you see a cop out i don't care if they're grabbing a coffee they're sitting

00:45:59.460 down somewhere grabbing a bite to eat um the cop might you know be his tough guy persona right there

00:46:04.820 and kind of just you know act like it's not a big deal but it is i will tell you that it it strikes me

00:46:12.840 as fascinating and there's something beyond that um the fact that in 2001 every cop every cop

00:46:23.240 was a hero a hero and 20 years later every cop is a villain yeah and that's something that i saw the

00:46:31.920 difference in my time just testifying in court you know i came on the police department 1997 and

00:46:37.020 at least the first half of my career you testified in court the defense attorney was doing his job and

00:46:43.120 he was going after you know potential procedural violations and things like that the latter half of

00:46:47.860 my career you take the stand they just accuse you of being a dirty cop or you're racist and things

00:46:52.460 like that that's that's you know it's just has totally changed the whole view of police

00:46:57.140 uh the name of the book is breaking blue real life stories of cops falsely accused it is a

00:47:05.440 fascinating read and uh thank you for everything you've done and uh any of the cops that are still

00:47:12.940 doing it even retired thank them for us there's millions of americans that are behind them and i know

00:47:17.900 that thank you very much glenn i appreciate it breaking blue real life stories of cops falsely

00:47:22.120 accused available everywhere now by sean larkin
