00:00:13.360
he's like the coolest guy alive yeah you know he's gone through his ups and downs yeah i mean
00:00:19.620
he might be a monster but i don't see it well and we know that for example tom brady is a monster
00:00:25.420
because of his he's a horrible human being for his he's another one yeah he's another slow down
00:00:32.080
brains good looks talent yeah he's got all the good things in happen in his life and he's taking
00:00:38.580
away the good things that could happen in your life exactly he's appropriating our positivity
00:00:43.760
exactly right it's exactly right this is there are fewer supermodels that would date me because
00:00:49.800
he's taking them all it's unfair all right anyway here's uh today's podcast it's really good mike lee
00:00:56.300
is with us uh kellyanne conway i mean she dishes the the dirt and it's not really dirt i mean she's
00:01:04.600
just very very frank about what happened i still don't know what the current status of the relationship
00:01:09.900
with her husband is though i even after you talked about it with her extensively i still don't know i
00:01:14.600
they're still married but i'm not really anyway it's it's a great podcast today don't miss a second
00:01:21.420
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:01:31.520
i want to be very very careful um because i don't want to have to apologize for anything
00:01:42.940
um and that's what we all should be thinking let's not say things that we don't know to be true
00:01:51.560
or take positions on things we're not sure we do not have all of the facts and i'm not going to throw
00:01:58.680
the police uh under the bus i am going to question the uh federal marshals that were there where the hell
00:02:09.140
were you what were you doing i am going to question them i think we have enough information there
00:02:14.840
you're wearing tactical gear why the hell isn't your ass inside but the police i don't know and it's
00:02:23.740
not looking good for them but let's not uh take sides on things and do what the left does before
00:02:32.280
we know the truth yeah the only thing again you try to construct any reason why they would do some
00:02:39.400
of these things it's very difficult to understand i mean the only thing that i keep coming back to
00:02:43.740
is the difference between let's say an active shooter situation and an inactive shooter situation
00:02:49.640
if you you know you think about every hostage movie you've ever seen right where a person maybe he's
00:02:54.800
not actively shooting he's holding them hostage or maybe he's you know but you would hear that they
00:03:01.680
would have said right he was holding them hostage we had contact with him we were negotiating etc etc
00:03:07.200
right the the right move might be in a situation where he's holding him hostage for example not to
00:03:12.120
bust in because he might kill more people right the other thought is you know as dark as this is to think
00:03:18.680
about potentially he had already done the killing in this room and was barricaded in this room right and
00:03:24.700
therefore the thought from the police officers may have been hey let's evacuate all the other kids get
00:03:29.040
everybody else out of the rest of the school wouldn't have taken an hour if you had him if you
00:03:32.180
thought that he was barricaded and killed everybody in that classroom okay which he did except for two
00:03:39.100
right we do know yeah that we do know that that was not accurate at least because there is a story
00:03:44.400
and it's the worst story you're ever going to hear i don't want to hear it all but just give me the
00:03:48.340
details quickly uh it seems like the agent said hey if you need help uh you know let us know and one of the
00:03:57.360
kids who was hiding said i need help he heard them came over and killed the kid this is from another
00:04:02.860
child who was in the room who witnessed the incident okay so again like it's as dark as it can possibly
00:04:08.180
be but you can see you can construct a scenario where they believe the most the the smartest thing
00:04:14.160
to do because there wasn't ongoing active shooting going on was to try to protect everyone else so but
00:04:20.760
i mean that doesn't let's just let me ask you this you don't know uh did this classroom have windows
00:04:26.260
if so did anybody have eyes on the shooter or the classroom from the outside if not why
00:04:32.380
second he was locked in okay is locked in there's no shots being fired why wasn't at least one police
00:04:42.660
officer positioned at the door so if that door opened up you shot the guy in the head
00:04:48.140
okay and then why did it take you an hour to get everybody out if you know you guy you have him
00:04:55.700
locked in a room why not go to every classroom and say out now now go go go go go go go get
00:05:04.200
everybody out it doesn't take you an hour to do that so something just doesn't look right on this and
00:05:13.320
it's most likely unbelievable incompetence but i can't you know what i just i can't take the lies
00:05:23.340
anymore i i can't take the not trusting anyone anymore let me give you this aoc
00:05:33.300
she came out with a statement yesterday young women are not doing this young non-binary people are not
00:05:41.100
doing this trans people are not doing this this is the issue we have young men are being radicalized
00:05:48.460
right now really who's radicalizing them who is radicalizing them i i'm not the one that is
00:05:57.100
turning every student in america into a protester that would be you and the teachers unions by the way
00:06:09.480
you also should check your facts yesterday colorado teenager pleaded guilty to multiple charges
00:06:17.020
of murder in the 2019 school shooting outside of denver that left one student dead eight injured
00:06:27.540
alec mckinney who was born biologically a female but identifies as a male pleaded guilty to 16 counts
00:06:38.480
including first degree murder and attempted murder and conspiracy to commit first degree murder after deliberation
00:06:49.200
now the same people who are outraged by this in the democratic party congressional democrats the republicans
00:06:59.480
yeah uh well they were the same people that pushed a bill that would have banned federal funding for
00:07:11.780
school police in 2020 you don't want to arm the teachers because the majority of americans now say
00:07:19.220
we should arm the the teachers yeah 54 percent either strongly or somewhat support the arming of teachers
00:07:28.560
and staff to respond to a school shooting only 35 percent somewhat are strongly opposed so don't tell me
00:07:37.180
about our extremist out of step most people want guns taken away when actually that's not true
00:07:45.900
common sense would be put police there lock all the doors
00:07:53.160
arm the teachers but you know who's against that oh my gosh you know here and this is why this is why
00:08:01.860
you know all the democrats can be counted on uh not going for this solution putting guns in schools
00:08:08.540
even though the majority of people agree with it you know why because the teachers unions
00:08:15.720
yeah the teachers unions they don't think it should be done they're against it
00:08:24.340
in fact they're not just against it they're hostile our public schools should be the safest places for
00:08:34.820
students and educators yet the gunshots from a lone shooter armed with a military grade weapon
00:08:39.480
shattered the physical safety of the school community in uvalde texas you know what also is a military
00:08:46.280
grade weapon at the time a flintlock and then later it was a cap and ball and then later it was the m16
00:08:57.080
all guns at the time are military grade why do you need that it's a weapon of war
00:09:10.460
and by the way no matter how they try to change the history of the uh ar um it it was a hunting rifle
00:09:37.100
sometimes calls for america to return to god are couched in the language of consolation
00:09:42.780
especially after mass shootings when 19 children were killed in a school in uvalde texas tuesday
00:09:48.840
a republican from colorado tweeted it's times like these that we should as individuals communities
00:09:53.620
and a nation turn to god for comfort and healing please please america we are running out of time
00:10:01.500
please turn back to god and beg for him to heal our land
00:10:08.140
marjorie taylor green of georgia followed deflection our nation needs to take a serious look at the state of our mental health today
00:10:19.600
don't you think we do don't you think we do because today i could claim i'm a woman
00:10:29.340
do nothing else just sit here with all the junk in my pants
00:10:38.860
and i could come on say hey everybody i identify
00:10:55.800
i think we should look at our mental health today
00:10:59.080
there's a reason we always hear calls for christian nationalism rather than for common sense gun legislation from the right
00:11:07.560
as we've shown in our research guns are practically an element of worship in the church of white christian nationalism
00:11:15.000
white christian nationalism you know who knows about gun rights better than anybody else
00:11:25.180
because what happens when the government took the native american guns away
00:12:07.840
don't talk to me about how it's a white christian nationalist idea
00:12:17.540
i guess because we're the only nation that has a second amendment
00:12:23.920
it was written for a government that was out of control
00:12:31.580
one that is canceling everything to do with carbon
00:12:59.340
you know the government where you go to jail for something
