gone to jail we all think he's guilty but thinking and being able to prove it is something different

00:01:38.280
don't make me feel good inside but that's exactly what i said case closed
00:01:41.640
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:01:52.060
15 years ago i was on this broadcast and i told you the time is going to come where you won't
00:02:02.520
recognize your country where everything is upside down everything you counted on everything you thought
00:02:09.200
was solid would be liquid and liquid would be solid well we're here 10 years ago i was called a racist
00:02:16.020
for pointing out that many in our government and those especially in the democratic party
00:02:20.960
were marxists and socialists claiming to be progressives and i said that there would come
00:02:29.680
they would they would actually come out and this was in 2009 and people said this is crazy
00:02:36.820
they would come out because they wanted to tell you capitalism doesn't work and they would say yes
00:02:43.180
i'm socialist because the free market doesn't work i warned that conservative voices would be in peril
00:02:49.560
as the old line media empires would begin to burn themselves down i warned you that the european
00:02:56.200
totalitarian right would rise again and trouble was on the horizon for europe it would destabilize
00:03:02.760
and eventually the left and right would join forces they would begin marching in the streets
00:03:07.480
that russia would run a propaganda campaign to split us apart that we would begin to hear the same
00:03:14.960
progressive socialist talk of death for undesirables and celebration for the death of babies
00:03:21.060
the same kind of stuff the world endured and had to conquer in the 20s and 30s because they just
00:03:26.980
wouldn't pay attention i told you 15 years ago that more and more conspiracy theories would
00:03:35.000
circulate and believed by a majority of people more and more people would buy into them because all of
00:03:43.240
five years ago deep fakes would be introduced and would finish the concept of truth i warned you
00:03:51.680
about these things now we have to prove to the world that the insanity can stop so how do we do it
00:03:59.560
well it's easy if we return to the self-evident truths if we just remember who we are where we came
00:04:10.020
from remember and admit that life in america doesn't suck as much as everybody seems to think it does
00:04:16.420
we have to decide we're not going to commit suicide as a society as a nation as culture
00:04:23.540
and there are decisions that we have to make right now destroying life abortion creating life ai
00:04:34.300
and the fastest to affect the entire world the choice between the free market and socialism
00:04:44.300
we are there and a lot of people in the media are pretending to believe that democratic socialism is
00:04:56.880
just a new coat of paint on the same old fdr democratic policies but it's not true as i will point out in our
00:05:05.000
special on uh wednesday tomorrow at 9 p.m eastern time
00:05:10.160
the wednesday night special is on bernie sanders and the radicals the revolutionaries
00:05:18.400
the islamists the anti-semites the marxists the communists that surround him
00:05:27.440
we've told you just yesterday what was in salon magazine about their plan their actual plan they're
00:05:37.280
they're printing it now online and mainstream if you can call it that mainstream publications
00:05:45.840
telling people yeah we're going to destroy capitalism that's what we have to do
00:05:51.760
well the only way to beat this is with information knowledge is power
00:05:58.600
knowledge is power nobody can fool you if you have knowledge
00:06:03.200
a couple of things on socialism uh i have a new book that is coming out
00:06:08.440
is it next month stew in april i think it's the first week of april
00:06:12.680
and i want you to order it online right now at amazon.com
00:06:16.920
order it is called arguing with socialists it's over 400 pages we made it into something that's
00:06:24.660
really easy to read it's in the format of arguing with idiots it comes out april 7th you can order it
00:06:31.800
right now it has about a hundred i'm sorry about 80 pages i think of footnotes so everything that we
00:06:39.840
say in it is footnoted so you know if you're doing a paper if you're trying to convince somebody
00:06:45.500
if you're trying to show don't show them my work oh that's glenn beck of course he says that show
00:06:50.160
it from the new york times everything is footnoted because we have to dismiss a couple of things first
00:06:56.740
that capitalism doesn't work and the second thing
00:07:05.660
now let me be the first to say that socialism does work it works perfectly every single time
00:07:15.200
it's it is designed to do one thing and that is make everybody equal
00:07:23.660
and if you look at it as just equally miserable
00:07:32.420
socialists saying capitalism doesn't work look at all the fat rich people look at all the inequality
00:07:37.600
doesn't work look at all the poor starving people all those dead bodies in front of the hospitals in
00:07:43.600
in america first of all there are no dead bodies people are not starving to death in america
00:07:49.060
but capitalism is doing exactly what it's supposed to do and that is create inequality
00:08:00.180
the equality of outcomes is what socialists want the goal of socialism is equality and the two systems
00:08:11.560
achieve the opposite results the goal of capitalism is in a way inequality
00:08:17.360
that is the natural result of the free market capitalism is inequality
00:08:24.800
of outcomes it encourages it acknowledges that people are different people have different work
00:08:35.340
habits there are some people that you can't stop me from working i work all the time it's what
00:08:41.260
i do i'm driven by it i actually love my job there are other people who don't they love their
00:08:47.920
they love their knitting they love their art they love their family and only want to be with them
00:08:55.260
they want to work in the home that's great but the guy who's working at running a corporation
00:09:01.240
because he is affecting millions of lives he's going to make more money than the person who is still
00:09:09.520
doing the noble work of just working with the family at home
00:09:14.180
they they they have an equal chance of success just not monetary success
00:09:22.220
but we only seem to look at the outcome of money
00:09:29.100
you can't have merit without inequality and if you want to get rid of inequality you must get rid
00:09:38.280
of merit it's why they started giving trophies to everybody in school there is no merit we're all
00:09:44.920
equal we're not all equal we are born equal we have equal rights
00:09:50.600
but we don't have equal outcomes if you want to be a singer and you want to go on television
00:09:58.160
and embarrass yourself and you suck hey you can do it you can do it but simon isn't going to tell you
00:10:08.640
it's why we study in school it's why we work hard for an a
00:10:14.240
because with that good grade while others may have failed it gave you the promise of
00:10:25.060
many of us get up to strive to create or to invent not just to better our world
00:10:32.940
but also better ourselves and our station and those two are connected
00:10:44.140
but everyone and everything is equally miserable unless you're at the very very top
00:10:51.240
capitalism has lifted entire continents out of equal misery and poverty
00:11:01.640
capitalism has made the world more unequal but they've lifted billions of people out of poverty
00:11:10.560
poverty yes there still remain shrinking pockets of misery but because of the free market the rate
00:11:18.400
of children dying before the age of five has dropped by over half since 1990 look at the difference
00:11:24.280
between the coronavirus here and what's coming here and how we're going to deal with it and how it was
00:11:30.780
dealt with and what came to china yeah well they're a free market no they're not no they're not
00:11:38.740
death before the age of five has dropped by over half since 1990 yet 70 percent of the people believe
00:11:48.340
health care and poverty has gotten worse and bernie sanders is leading that charge
00:11:52.900
it hasn't but cable news will obsess about oh here's the latest scandal with donald trump
00:12:05.080
but just that one life-saving improvement is the equivalent of averting 27 major client plane
00:12:14.460
crashes full of children every single day every single day look at the gun problems we have
00:12:23.240
but the lives saved due to just a few of the improvements made in medicine just over the
00:12:30.360
last few years because of the free market system is the equivalent of erasing every gun-related
00:12:37.160
murder for 630 years and yet we don't hear about it all we hear about is the inequality that is
00:12:44.200
caused by capitalism fewer people are suffering and dying than ever before and there's still a lot to save
00:12:51.460
while socialism is making everyone except the elites equally starving and desperate in venezuela
00:12:59.040
in cuba i posted something last night look on my instagram feed i posted a picture
00:13:06.600
of a ob-gyn office the leading office in havana so this is the leading clinic for ob-gyn
00:13:16.260
in havana that's as bad that's as good as you get
00:13:20.180
i showed you the uh rooftop where they actually hang all of the rubber latex gloves out to dry
00:13:30.780
because after inserting them into one patient they wash them and then they hang them on a clothesline
00:13:38.180
to dry because they don't have the money or the system to be able to afford the latex gloves
00:13:47.980
they'll look for the picture and spend and send it to your friends
00:13:52.760
i'm tired of the casting of shame on capitalism and it is time that we start to understand
00:14:04.180
what's being done to us and what our choice really is more in one minute
00:14:09.940
look there is no one no one that is coming over our border in the middle of the night there is no
00:14:22.320
one on the other side of the world that is dreaming of america that they can't wait to get here because
00:14:27.860
they're trying to escape the rich they're trying to escape the system that keeps them down
00:14:35.420
they're trying to escape possibly the rich who has taken over the government
00:14:42.780
the drug cartels we have a failed mark narco state on our border now in the south
00:14:49.400
they are here escaping not the rich but the system that dooms them and their children to poverty
00:14:56.240
they're coming here because they recognize that inequality is a fact of nature but through
00:15:02.700
merit and equal justice you can change your status and create a better future for your children
00:15:09.140
we should seek equality because it's more fair and just no it's not
00:15:15.580
socialism is about equality but it's not about fairness
00:15:21.980
capitalism isn't about equality of outcomes but fairness and justice is its objective
00:15:30.780
when it comes to economics equality and fairness are not synonyms
00:15:36.580
the stated goal of socialism is to achieve equality for all the true goal of capitalism
00:15:43.440
is to achieve liberty and justice for all and that's why the leftists hate all of this stuff
00:15:51.300
liberty and justice for all it is the american way
00:16:04.860
we're all unique we're endowed by our creator with our own set of superpowers skills and talents
00:16:12.100
and yes problems we have our own weaknesses and challenges and thank god for that otherwise
00:16:18.260
everything would be the same but we are blessed to be born here this is a great country
00:16:24.720
we've lifted ourselves out of misery first and now we can voluntarily help the rest of the world
00:16:36.680
we don't need a government to take a dollar from us and give 40 cents to the poor
00:16:41.500
why not allow americans to take their own daughter a dollar and cut out the middleman cut out the
00:16:48.160
waste give the whole dollar to poor we've done it before and in fact nobody has ever done it like we have
00:16:56.160
i want you to hear carefully because maybe this is the first time you've heard it but there is
00:17:03.160
nothing wrong with your desire to achieve to work hard to compete to win there's nothing wrong with
00:17:11.620
your expectation to be rewarded for your work and enjoy those rewards the way you see fit which of
00:17:19.500
course includes taking care of the less fortunate should you choose but you're the only one that can write
00:17:26.560
your story your destiny is your own journey to make i have nothing to do with it and your failure i have
00:17:36.900
nothing to do with either we all stand on our own two feet
00:17:42.060
they're trying to work on democratic democratic changes well slavery by majority vote is still
00:17:53.960
slavery you are the only one that can take away your right for poor choices but even then you have
00:18:03.140
the right of redemption to begin again to pull yourself up out of the mud into the light
00:18:06.920
capitalism has its flaws it's lost its mooring the free market and justice should always be blindfolded
00:18:15.040
but they're not they're not being black white rich poor should never condemn you nor save you
00:18:22.920
but the world will change in the next 12 months one way or the other
00:18:32.540
will either all be equally enslaved equally poor and eventually equally dead or we'll humble ourselves
00:18:44.540
and we'll stand up for the bill of rights which grants us liberty we will stand up for the people
00:18:52.360
we despise the things that they say we'll stand shoulder to shoulder with them because they have a right
00:18:58.860
to do it we'll stand for the poor but we'll also stand for the rich those who've always been here those
00:19:05.900
who came on the mayflower and those who come here legally today because they're our hope they're our success
00:19:11.860
and it it will come as we stand for blind and equal justice and stand for the glorious natural inequality of all mankind
00:19:23.900

00:20:06.060
sarah i don't see on your bio that you were with us at the blaze for a long time i was with you at the
00:20:12.200
blaze it should be right there in my bio it's it's not darn it i loved working at the blaze i know i
00:20:18.500
will make sure that no no no i'm just giving you a hard time updated bio i'm giving i loved i loved
00:20:24.120
being at the blaze and i gotta tell you we did such incredible work at the really did during that
00:20:29.140
it was during that time that i actually uh met philip hayney uh got to know him quite well and
00:20:37.260
what a wonderful human being he was and hearing about his death was so tragic um it it really shook
00:20:45.800
me to the core because i had actually spoken to phil i think maybe three months ago he had called me we
00:20:51.920
were talking and you know i was so happy to hear from him um you know he had gone through a pretty rough
00:20:58.500
patch after losing his wife last year uh and but he was doing great and he was getting you know he was
00:21:05.640
surrounded by family and friends and everybody who loved him so hearing about his death was really
00:21:10.600
quite shocking to me now he um i understand was getting married next month he was also in the
00:21:17.200
middle of writing a new book did you get any indication at all that i mean you and i he advised
00:21:24.940
us and was a deep throat if you will on many stories uh and that guy put himself on the line
00:21:32.940
every day especially during the obama administration that guy was an amazing whistleblower
00:21:38.060
um and he was driven by a higher purpose did you get any indication at all he might have committed
00:21:46.000
suicide or was thinking that way or was so depressed no actually no there was no indication i mean
00:21:53.440
particularly when i remember thinking back to my conversation with him that there was any issue
00:21:58.640
whatsoever um that he was despondent or depressed i had spoken to a very close friend of his somebody
00:22:06.640
who had actually and i don't want to mention the name just in case it's private but just for the idea
00:22:11.640
i can talk about it uh right after um uh the news had broke a very close friend of his uh called me
00:22:19.660
and said look i had just spoken to phil on wednesday we were talking he was in such good spirit
00:22:26.400
uh not only did we get on the phone we were chatting back and forth um in text messages he was
00:22:33.120
very excited about the future um he was uh excited to be married um he was really looking forward to the
00:22:41.660
marriage and to his wedding uh so he was very distressed um he did contact this friend of phil
00:22:49.060
haney's did contact the police uh there in northern california who were investigating
00:22:54.220
uh what had happened to him and and spoke with them and said look i've been on the phone with him
00:22:59.020
on wednesday i don't know what could have happened um he was very happy uh he had no indication
00:23:05.340
whatsoever that he was going through any kind of depression now that doesn't mean that he didn't do
00:23:12.080
it right i mean we're the police are still investigating this um i know that information came out and uh they
00:23:18.500
they've said that this appears to be a suicide uh you know a lot of people that i spoke to i mean
00:23:24.500
it's very difficult to believe it was if it was a shotgun i don't know if we have all the details yet
00:23:28.980
uh putting you know putting shooting yourself in the chest is a very unusual way on the side of the
00:23:35.220
road pulling your car off on the side of the road that i mean right and usually it's not the chest i
00:23:41.300
mean with a shotgun i'm guessing with a shotgun it's heavier if it was a shotgun um but it's a very
00:23:47.340
uh a difficult situation let's just say it's not something that's commonly done i you know but i but
00:23:53.100
we don't know we don't know all the details all we do know is that philip haimey was an incredible
00:23:57.960
patriot and human being who really put everything on the line to get the truth out to the american public
00:24:05.220
about what was happening in the obama administration um and his long and illustrious career uh you know
00:24:12.980
uh from i mean this is a man who studied arabic who understood you know the culture who uh worked
00:24:20.400
at the dhs and was highly recognized given all kinds of awards for his work helped found the department
00:24:27.400
of homeland security um and then everything that happened to him during the obama administration
00:24:33.640
that was so distressing um and uh the the issues that he dealt with when it came to and i think
00:24:40.880
you'll go into that glenn with me in this call but as far as exposing what was happening where he was
00:24:47.040
asked to erase databases loads of information in 2009 um and uh and all the information that uh that
00:24:57.020
that he was asked to remove from the databases that would have helped the dhs connect the dots
00:25:02.560
uh particularly when it came to islamic extremists in the united states and he blamed the obama
00:25:08.300
administration for that he blamed them for for not uh for trying to change the narrative uh for not
00:25:14.960
telling the american people the truth and he came out uh in full force i do want to get into some of the
00:25:20.920
stuff that you can talk about you know um he was involved in whistleblowing uh with me on several
00:25:27.760
different things but i um he never um uh we we never discussed it on the air so i don't want to
00:25:35.900
discuss it uh just for the estate or whatever i just don't want to cause any problems um and uh so can
00:25:42.860
you talk about any of the things that he he did do and the impact that he he made well one of the things
00:25:52.440
that he did talk openly about um much later in 2016 um he did write an op-ed uh for the hill
00:26:00.620
uh where he talked about his career and talked a little bit um about not into the detail that i'm
00:26:08.040
sure he went into with both you and i and others that he spoke to on uh capitol hill those being
00:26:14.880
senior congressional members but he did talk in that op-ed on the hill about what happened to him
00:26:21.340
and he talked about uh you know the fact that uh they asked him to delete and modify several hundred
00:26:29.700
records in what the dhs is known as the um treasury enforcement enforcement communication systems
00:26:36.300
database it's called text and that's how everyone knows it the acronym text so you know he was asked to
00:26:43.960
go in there he was asked to alter documents he was asked to delete documents and mainly it was
00:26:50.080
he believed to change this narrative and to take away this stigma um when everybody was struggling
00:26:57.140
with what is extremism what does islamist mean what what are these uh you know particularly
00:27:04.360
back in 2008 2009 2010 and even after the september 11th attacks what what are these extremist groups
00:27:12.900
about who are they why are they so devout and he really felt that the obama administration
00:27:18.540
was like look we don't want and this appears to be anti-muslim uh we don't want any of this type of
00:27:25.640
narrative and what had happened was um i don't know if everybody remembers but i'll to to remind
00:27:31.820
everyone um before there was a christmas day attack there was the the remember with the bomber uh on the
00:27:39.160
airline they called him the underwear bomber and uh it didn't go off basically uh the the bomb did not
00:27:47.060
detonate the passengers on this plane were able to stop it uh obama became very upset in the
00:27:53.580
administration and said well why weren't we able to connect these dots how come we weren't able to
00:27:58.240
get this you know to see this in advance and phil haney was like well because you guys deleted
00:28:04.240
everything in the database that would have allowed people to connect the dots this is not the fault of
00:28:09.600
anybody at the dhs or the intelligence community you've literally disabled us from being able to
00:28:15.940
do this and phil wasn't the only one i mean phil came out publicly but there were a lot of people
00:28:22.360
even after you know september 11 2001 whistleblowers uh within united states citizenship and immigration
00:28:29.740
services people within the department of homeland security who were up in arms and i i think that's why
00:28:36.800
when phil died it was such a shock to everyone because the people that knew him well knew that he
00:28:43.900
was up against a behemoth right of uh because he was a whistleblower of people that did not want him
00:28:51.320
speaking uh people that did not want him pointing out the failures that happened within the american
00:28:57.180
system within our government within these agencies that we entrust and this has been a problem over and
00:29:04.640
over again we've seen it from phil you know what phil's exposed people that were whistleblowers within
00:29:10.300
united states citizenship and immigration services who said look we're just letting people into the
00:29:15.560
country we're not vetting them uh particularly after 2001 when we thought everything was going to get
00:29:22.200
better it didn't it went downhill in some cases in some of these agencies and we see that these
00:29:28.340
bureaucracies were badly managed or either forced to step aside and allow you know this type of i would
00:29:38.020
i would call it malfeasance to exist within these agencies you know because basically if you're asking
00:29:43.180
people who are the best of the best which phil was phil haney was no matter what anyone says phil
00:29:49.200
haney was awarded some of the top awards by the united states government for his work inside the dhs
00:29:55.300
for what he was able to do you know and and for what he was able to point out prior to them having
00:30:00.960
him and others erase these databases um which is what he claimed uh so it is a shock to the system it's
00:30:09.280
like what happens to whistleblowers lives you know and you think about so many people that have come
00:30:15.060
forward real whistleblowers i'm not talking you know people that want to pretend they're whistleblowers
00:30:19.760
but people with firsthand knowledge right firsthand knowledge they were asked to do something that
00:30:25.600
they believed was wrong and then they step up and they speak out despite everything that could happen
00:30:31.600
to them despite the backlash i will tell you that i i was with uh philip a few days before he came out
00:30:41.320
and announced some of the stuff he did and he was truly terrified he was he had been under uh
00:30:49.420
you know uh a microscope for so long and they had been looking for him to destroy him for so long
00:30:57.220
and he had no protection whatsoever uh and he spent a lot of his time very worried looking over his
00:31:05.200
shoulder sarah the last question i know that um the last time i spoke to him he was looking into
00:31:12.160
keith ellison and ilan omar etc etc then i lost track of him here in the last 18 months
00:31:19.100
do you know what he was working on by any chance yes he was he was continuing to work on keith
00:31:27.100
ellison and ilan omar and he was going to become a very active part of traveling throughout the country
00:31:34.020
and speaking to the american people about you know not only his work at dhs but really trying to
00:31:42.500
uh expose and shed light on what's happening in the united states and particularly the shift in
00:31:48.540
politics what's happened with the democratic party you know it's moved towards the left
00:31:53.760
this inability to speak the truth i think that was really important for phil phil was somebody who
00:31:59.920
respected everyone whether you were muslim or whether you were christian or whether you he
00:32:04.040
respected everyone the one thing that he was adamant about was speaking out against extremism and he
00:32:10.620
said you know he always spoke out against extremists and that's what he was focused on and he didn't
00:32:17.620
want people neither ilhan omar neither keith ellison or others you know and what he saw in the obama
00:32:24.000
administration trying to cover that up you know either for political correctness or because they
00:32:31.140
didn't want to expose what was actually happening within the administration he wanted to ensure and i hope
00:32:37.480
we can keep that memory alive and what he wanted alive glenn because he wanted to ensure that the
00:32:43.880
american people knew the truth they weren't afraid to face the truth and that the government would react
00:32:50.800
to the truth appropriately so we could save lives and so that we wouldn't allow another september 11th to
00:32:57.200
happen in this country or anywhere else in the world sarah carter that i think i think phil um and i do as

socialists uh he is a researcher extraordinaire and and pretty much a geek uh when it comes to
00:34:45.620
you know staying at home and reading old documents welcome to the to the program justin how are
00:34:51.000
you i'm doing great well what what an introduction yeah i'm a geek yeah well i appreciate it but it's
00:34:56.980
true you know that i mean geeks of the world unite um you are uh you're a guy who found an old
00:35:06.260
article that nobody has exposed yet we just put it up on glennbeck.com uh your article called
00:35:13.280
revealing bernie's dark side one 1980s quote at a time you found who even knew there was such a
00:35:19.580
publication called the what was it the uh the militant that's what it is the militant what an
00:35:27.120
article do you want to take us through yeah yeah absolutely so uh what i've been spending my saturday
00:35:33.900
nights doing is looking through old communist newspapers in particular this communist newspaper
00:35:40.420
called the militants which is a publication of the socialist workers party and throughout the 1980s
00:35:47.000
these these publications have tons of interviews with bernie sanders who at the time was known as the
00:35:53.600
america's socialist mayor he was uh mayor of burlington vermont and uh they loved him as the socialist
00:36:00.920
workers party because bernie sanders it turns out was a big communist not just a socialist a communist
00:36:07.420
he supported communist presidential candidates in 1980 and 1984 uh he actively campaigned for them
00:36:14.620
he agreed to be a presidential elector for the socialist workers party and so they have all these
00:36:20.180
interviews with bernie sanders they quote him a lot and one of the interviews that i found that was
00:36:24.400
particularly disturbing was this interview right after he became mayor of burlington and they talk
00:36:30.240
about all sorts of different topics but the thing that really struck me the thing that i really i
00:36:34.320
haven't heard anywhere else this this reported i think this has been lost for decades is he's talking
00:36:39.680
about police support and to fully understand this this quote you have to you have to grasp that within
00:36:45.800
the communist movement and the socialist movement both today and in the 1980s they really don't like
00:36:51.020
police they hate police they talk about it all the time and so one of the criticisms of bernie
00:36:56.320
sanders believe it or not was that he got police support local police support so they're asking him
00:37:01.340
about this and they're saying hey it's controversial to some socialists that you've got this police
00:37:05.860
support what do you have to say and he provides this answer about cops and how they've there's some
00:37:11.480
good cops here and let me let me let me let me read it uh verbatim uh sanders added that he knows that
00:37:20.660
some police forces are dominated by fascists and nazis but on the other hand we have a police force
00:37:28.560
and we may may have our own bad eggs too but i don't consider these guys who are making ten thousand
00:37:34.300
dollars a year as my enemies as much as many offend certain people in the left-wing movement
00:37:40.060
we've got good cops here they're good trade unionists all regular trade union issues people who have a
00:37:48.980
concern for young people probably the major crime problem we have in the city is with young people
00:37:55.460
these police see the futility of arresting poor kids all of the time they want to get involved in
00:38:01.520
some of the projects that we're beginning to do um uh to uh dent this surface on so he's saying here
00:38:09.780
yeah i know cops are bad we all know cops are bad but our cops are trade unionists and so because
00:38:16.680
they're good members of the union they're actually good most police forces i mean i love this he knows that
00:38:24.400
okay he says some police forces are dominated by fascists and nazis i'd like to know which ones
00:38:33.280
so what i i imagine he thinks it's actually more than just a few police forces it's it's important
00:38:42.560
to note that actually the writer is the one who said some police forces the direct quote from bernie
00:38:48.280
begins with are dominated by fascists and nazis and then there's a dot dot dot meaning we don't
00:38:54.400
know what he said immediately after that right right left out of the story so who knows what sort
00:39:00.320
of a rant he went on to add things to this to this mix but it just goes to show you bernie sanders is
00:39:05.980
not just this you know i love sweden and norway and denmark and i just want the world to be like that
00:39:11.280
no he is a radical marxist i believe trotskyite socialist uh who who wants to radically transform
00:39:19.520
the united states so tomorrow justin i'm doing a special on the people surrounding him and the
00:39:29.760
people that are in his campaign are terrifying truly terrifying because they are revolutionaries
00:39:35.760
he is a revolutionary are you shocked at uh the willingness for of apparently the average democrat
00:39:47.440
to just get on board the sanders train and ride that right into the the communist hell station
00:39:55.220
i i i am not for this reason i don't think i think this is so radical but he is so radical
00:40:05.020
so extreme that when you bring these things up when you talk about his support for for fidel castro
00:40:11.460
and cuba and the sandinistas and nicaragua and the soviet union all these things it sounds so crazy i
00:40:18.840
think most people don't believe it that's that's really where i think this is that i don't think
00:40:23.060
people believe it because it sounds almost like it's a vast right-wing conspiracy right it doesn't
00:40:29.040
i mean can't real wait a minute could you imagine anyone left or right anyone getting on the stage
00:40:35.160
and going of course i condemn the holocaust of course i condemn the brown shirts of course we all know
00:40:43.420
about hitler and i condemn all of that but let's talk about the volkswagen let's talk about his health
00:40:50.360
care let's talk about his his youth program let's talk about the super highway the autobahn that he he
00:40:57.840
did a lot of good things of course we condemn the holocaust can you imagine anyone of any party
00:41:04.500
getting away with that how the hell is he getting away with this when it comes to stalin china cuba
00:41:12.880
venezuela well i mean the the answer is really obvious it's that the mainstream press lets him get
00:41:20.400
away with it because they are in in many cases at the very least sympathetic to his views and they and
00:41:27.520
they are secretly rooting for him to win i mean that's that's the only explanation because if they
00:41:33.360
had even an ounce of honesty in them they would point out just how incredibly radical this man truly is
00:41:42.240
they would point out that he is actively sympathizing and has been actively sympathizing
00:41:48.120
for decades with radical communist and socialist groups again communist groups marxist groups for
00:41:56.600
decades and some people might look at it say well this is 1980 that was 40 years ago people say really
00:42:02.240
horrible you know sometimes stupid foolish things when they're young except bernie wasn't young
00:42:07.480
he was in his 40s yeah this is a middle-aged man and and he's not changing you know it's one thing if
00:42:15.800
he would be like you know i said those things about communism but then the wall came down and i saw what it
00:42:21.560
really was no he's saying today the same things he said back then there's nothing changed that's that's
00:42:30.200
exactly right and he visited those places he went to the soviet union he went to nicaragua he actually
00:42:37.960
saw these things with his own eyes he met with with the president of nicaragua daniel ortega i mean he
00:42:43.720
knew these people he saw what was going on he is just as radical as it seems he is it's just so hard to
00:42:52.160
believe that someone that radical that marxist that crazy could get this far and yet that's exactly where
00:42:58.900
we're at this man could very likely be in fact i think he will be one of two people who will be
00:43:05.100
chosen in november to be president of the united states that is horrifying so justin let's not do
00:43:11.920
because i find myself listening to people saying the same thing about bernie sanders that everybody
00:43:17.780
said about donald trump oh he's not gonna win these this is a you know he's crazy he's radical
00:43:23.660
or how is it that these people they must be bad they the voters must be bad they must be communists
00:43:30.700
they must they know this why won't they do anything about him he's a danger well that wasn't true about
00:43:36.560
our side so why do we why do we accept that about the left or i shouldn't say the left the democrats
00:43:42.340
what is happening in the lives of the democrats the average neighbor democrat not the crazy ones
00:43:50.320
but the average democrat what is happening in their life that is allowing them to say oh no you
00:43:57.080
know what i'll vote for bernie sanders i don't really care i want i want i want donald trump out
00:44:03.000
so badly that i'll vote for this guy and shut all reason off right i think that there's a couple of
00:44:11.400
really key important things that have happened number one is all of the main institutions are taken over
00:44:17.300
by leftists who have who have basically taught a whole generation really two generations of people
00:44:24.120
that these ideas really aren't that bad they don't teach them the history of what's happened in many
00:44:28.100
of these countries that have tried these ideas so a lot of people are just frankly ignorant about this
00:44:32.620
stuff that's a big part of it the other thing is there's been this very deliberate campaign
00:44:38.280
attempt by bernie sanders and other people alexandria ocasio-cortez lots of other socialists
00:44:42.980
to paint scandinavia as what they're looking for when in reality that's not what they're looking for
00:44:49.020
and those countries aren't socialist countries but they've done a very good job of convincing regular
00:44:54.300
people who don't pay attention to the issues very closely that these are the socialist countries that
00:44:59.180
they're trying to be like and nobody would look at sweden and say well that's a socialist hellhole
00:45:04.920
nobody does that so it's allowed them to point to finally have something that they can hold up and say
00:45:10.640
here's an example of something that works that's socialism that works and this is what we want and
00:45:15.620
it makes people feel comfortable with calling themselves a socialist and supporting a socialist
00:45:20.820
because they think that's what they're shooting for well in reality it's not what they're shooting
00:45:26.620
it is it's a remarkable to me and you will find it in this article now at glennbeck.com revealing
00:45:32.660
bernie's dark side one 1980s quote at a time he that's not what he's shooting for he may say that but
00:45:38.800
that's not what he's shooting for uh and if you look at his policies it's not sweden it's not
00:45:45.800
anything like what is happening in the scandinavian countries at all uh or even at the height of when
00:45:53.560
they were socialist in the 60s and 70s it's not what he is proposing i want to ask you one theory um
00:46:01.440
or listen to listen to a theory of mine about the difference between barack obama and bernie sanders
00:46:07.100
uh in one minute i get the answer again from justin haskins uh and justin again wrote that
00:46:13.540
great article you find it now share it with some friends uh at glennbeck.com so justin haskins is
00:46:21.360
with us justin let me ask you this a theory of mine on the difference between barack obama
00:46:25.820
we saw when barack obama came in we saw barack obama for what he was and what some of the people
00:46:32.000
that he put around him were they were marxist radicals but the the key to the failure for
00:46:39.880
marxism on barack obama was he surrounded himself with all of the clinton people and the clinton people
00:46:47.280
may have been about corruption or they may about they may have even been just about good you know
00:46:52.260
very very progressive policies but they weren't going to end capitalism and so barack obama came in
00:47:00.300
and he's promoting this change and he's you know this good soldier of jeremiah rights
00:47:06.120
and the left gets excited about it but when he gets in the clinton people kind of stop him from
00:47:12.900
doing anything too radical and so he loses all of his support i mean he still wins the second term but
00:47:19.700
he's not drawing big crowds and he's not this icon bernie sanders is not the guy to surround himself
00:47:26.580
with people from the clinton campaign or from the dnc he despises them he'll go in and he will use
00:47:36.200
every lever he has to fundamentally change in a four-year period you agree with that oh without
00:47:44.740
without question without question um i think i agree i agree with your your theory about barack obama i would
00:47:51.660
add that really the biggest obstacle standing in his way was the tea party movement yeah of 2010 it
00:47:58.240
completely crushed any hope that he had of of accomplishing further reforms uh and so and i
00:48:05.500
think that that that stunted a lot of what he was trying to achieve but you're absolutely right he was
00:48:09.860
a barack obama was as socialist as you could get while being in within the sort of framework
00:48:17.480
establishment democratic framework right he's totally bernie sanders is out and bernie sanders
00:48:23.720
will use every lever i mean he will use i think i think the uh net neutrality and the uh fairness
00:48:33.320
doctrine for broadcast rules i think those are picnics compared to what will happen to shut people like us
00:48:40.440
down and keep us quiet absolutely he's going to use every tool at his disposal to enact what he
00:48:48.820
believes are essential reforms to the system he wants to completely get rid of our current system
00:48:54.300
i think that one of the best tools he's going to use is modern monetary theory this idea that we can
00:48:59.680
just print an infinite amount of money to pay for whatever we want to pay for and then to control
00:49:04.000
society by controlling spending i believe he's going to do that and he may actually get a lot of
00:49:09.140
republicans on board with that because they don't seem to care about the debt anymore either
00:49:13.180
you're you're you're right um the executive look donald trump has done a lot of really really good
00:49:19.300
things but there's a there's a fatal flaw in the trump administration's tenure and that fatal flaw is
00:49:26.020
that most of it's been done through executive action much like barack obama's second term and that
00:49:30.960
stuff can all be wiped out anytime the next president wants and republicans in congress failed to actually
00:49:37.180
get things codified into law and so now all of these positive reforms can be wiped away with a
00:49:42.800
single pen stroke and that's exactly what bernie sanders will do and then he'll replace it with
00:49:46.260
socialist policies instead justin thank you very much make sure you get uh his article at glenbeck.com
00:49:52.220
also arguing with socialists my new book order it now on amazon comes out april 7th the blaze radio network
