00:01:26.500You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:30.620Actress Gina Carano has incurred the wrath of the mob.
00:01:41.620The mob that runs Hollywood, the universities, and the arts.
00:01:45.160She made a historical analogy with the intention of giving people pause in their relentless crusade to ostracize non-leftists from society.
00:01:58.960First, Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors, even by children.
00:02:07.100Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews,
00:02:16.340the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.
00:02:22.060How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?
00:03:57.720We should start banning things like Schindler's List, because that showed how the German people, not just the Nazis, how the German neighbors were involved, how people were involved in that that didn't wear the swastika or the uniform.
00:05:35.820Shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other talk radio stars promoted debunked claims of stolen election and urged listeners to fight back.
00:05:46.320Two days before the mob of Trump supporters invaded the United States Capitol, upending the nation's peaceful transition of power and leaving at least five people dead,
00:05:57.780the right-wing radio star Glenn Beck delivered a message to his flock of listeners.
00:06:32.620Well, then, because if you have a problem with that, you're criticizing how the left went to war four years ago, which I don't remember them doing.
00:07:50.000Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to invade the Capitol.
00:07:56.220And a day later, a day later, because I've never done this before, a day later, he urged marchers in Washington to really kind of channel, quoting, your inner Martin Luther King.
00:08:06.380Wait, wait, you asked people to channel their inner Martin Luther King, which, of course, I've heard you do thousands of times.
00:08:57.900Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to evade the Capitol.
00:09:00.160Day later, he urged marchers in Washington to really kind of channel your inner Martin Luther King, adding that violence is just, quoting, just not who we've ever been, end quote.
00:09:12.420But the language he used on his January 4th show was typical of the aggressive rhetoric that permeated conservative talk radio in the weeks before the Washington siege.
00:09:40.000They're saying on December 4th, January 4th, you said we need to fight, and then also said you need to fight like the Democrats did in 2016.
00:09:50.840Yeah, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.
00:09:54.880And then you said the Martin Luther King thing not on the 6th after the violence.
00:10:24.720When you make the decision that you add the Martin Luther King point, which totally disproves what you've just written.
00:10:32.920That might have been added because we may have said, if you print this the way you say you're going to print this, your lawsuit will make your eyes bleed.
00:10:43.000They may have put the Martin Luther King thing in there because.
00:12:29.900And it is, I believe, a very important reason.
00:12:34.940In fact, I think it might be the most important reason.
00:12:37.580They are tying rhetoric directly to violence.
00:12:44.900Now, they will never tie their rhetoric to violence.
00:12:49.040But any time the right says something, they tried to do this with a Tea Party, but we were so disciplined that we didn't ever give them an opening.
00:12:59.120And they were trying to tie us into violence.
00:13:01.820Well, now they have the one case where the Tea Party is violent.
00:13:05.280SEIU beating people in the streets during the Tea Party, they had no problem with that.
00:17:56.940Mike Lee suggests Trump should get a mulligan for the Capitol Riot Day speech.
00:18:03.320Wow, that doesn't sound like Mike Lee.
00:18:08.120In an email to Mr. Lee's spokesman requesting an explanation of his remarks,
00:18:12.080it was not immediately returned, but some of his defenders on social media said that he was making a larger point about the need for civility in both parties,
00:29:28.680So the problem with this is, is they are not only saying they're awful, but they're also using social media, the media itself, and, you know, the New York Times article today to silence people and to and to label them as violent extremists.
00:29:49.120We have 5,000 troops still on the ground in in Washington, D.C. without a defined mission that doesn't happen.
00:30:00.220The Department of Homeland Security says there is no credible or specific threat.
00:30:46.460And I call on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and my colleagues in the Senate and counterparts in the House to tear down this wall and do it now.
00:32:49.900These are folks who don't have the same values, the same desire to have the endgame that conservatives and liberals have, good people have.
00:32:57.060This is probably the only time he's ever thought about the plight of black Americans, particularly our young kids.
00:33:01.520If we watch them go down the tubes for decades and he stands up and puts me down because I say we need to be proud of our country.
00:33:11.420And if we can do it back in the 60s, we can do it in 2020, 21.
00:33:15.580But no, the leftists like this Salt Lake Trib, and by the way, can I say this also?
00:33:20.280So do not take the lead of leftist papers reading the headlines.
00:33:28.340They don't believe that we have the intelligence to read through the article to find the truth.
00:33:33.320So they have these remarkable headlines that people get caught up in.
00:33:36.840Just know that's another tool that the left does.
00:33:39.500But you'll find, again, that my message very simply is that Americans, no matter where they come from, what background or color, can make it in this country by working hard and going by the tenets that we've been talking about throughout the last year or so I've been talking with you.
00:33:52.020And that is the thing that we all used to melt in.
00:33:56.360We used to have a melting pot, and we melted in.
00:33:59.060We brought our own culture, our own things, but we melted into this idea that anybody can make it here, that all men are created equal when we lived up to our highest values, which is not all the time.
00:34:12.820But when we live up to those, that's what Martin Luther King was saying.
00:34:33.580He said there was not a single anti-slavery word in that document.
00:34:36.980He'd been taught there was by white abolitionists who were really anti-Constitution.
00:34:40.940When he became a full-time speaker for the Massachusetts Abolition Society, he said, I have a responsibility to know what I'm talking about.
00:34:53.820Frederick Douglass, in his life, wrote an autobiography three times.
00:34:56.740He wrote an autobiography when he was young, when he's middle-aged, and when he's older.
00:35:00.900And you can see the transition he went through, the love and respect that he comes up with for the country that he did not have at the beginning.
00:35:07.400A lot of activists love to quote his speech on the 4th of July where he thinks we're not included, we're not part of this.
00:35:27.920I feel the same way on American history.
00:35:31.740The white aspects of it, the black aspects of it, the yellow.
00:35:37.460I mean, it just doesn't matter what color you are.
00:35:41.740But when you see how history has been shaped and written and then rewritten and deleted, you could spend a long time, especially if you're an African-American, going,
00:35:57.460How come I only know these four people?
00:35:59.560And I've never heard of people like Phyllis Wheatley.
00:36:03.180Well, there is a reason you don't know it.
00:36:06.000And it is the progressives that did this.
00:36:09.900Yeah, a real change, a visible change you can see in 1902 when Woodrow Wilson came out with his five-volume set, The History of the American People.
00:36:18.040And in that five-volume set, and it's a comprehensive history, except it has not a single black person in it, not even Frederick Douglass,
00:36:26.120who is more photographed than Abraham Lincoln was.
00:36:28.320This is a guy that was—Wilson was alive with Frederick Douglass, and he doesn't even put him in the book.
00:36:56.440And that's the basis of black history today, which is why on Black History Month, you usually get MLK and Rosa Parks and 20th century folks.
00:37:06.420But you get very little of the Jack Sissons or the James Armisteads or all the heroes from the American Revolution that were genuine heroes.
00:37:13.340Well, you know, it's funny because Oprah Magazine just did something on Apple, and I was looking at the Apple News app today.
00:37:21.340And, you know, Oprah teaches black history.
00:37:23.220And the first one she taught was Phyllis Wheatley.
00:37:25.160However, she's leaving out an awful lot.
00:37:29.320And what's amazing is she's like, hey, these are people you've never heard of.
00:37:33.120And I thought, no, people in my audience, they know them.
00:37:37.780They've they we've talked about Phyllis Wheatley forever.
00:37:40.800But in this, she says Phyllis Wheatley was the first African-American to publish a book of poetry, poems on various subjects, religious and moral in 1773.
00:37:49.740Born in Gambia, sold to the Wheatley family in Boston when she was seven.
00:37:53.480Wheatley was emancipated shortly after her book was released.
