The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Sen. Mike Lee & Rep. Burgess Owens ｜ 2⧸11⧸21

00:00:00.000 It's Glenn and Stu, and we had quite a show today.

00:00:03.800 Stu was a little more forceful with his call for Molotov cocktails.

00:00:10.440 I want to be clear, I did not call for Molotov cocktails in New York Times.

00:00:14.440 Well, I know I am Gandhi.

00:00:18.060 Gandhi in comparison to Stu today.

00:00:21.160 This is the way it tends to go.

00:00:22.200 I usually get more pissed off at people bashing you in the media than you do.

00:00:25.860 I'm kind of used to it, kind of dead inside on that.

00:00:28.360 The New York Times wrote an article about me, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity,

00:00:36.820 calling us purveyors of hate, basically, and saying that we were the ones who riled people up for the Capitol.

00:00:44.100 Except none of that's true.

00:00:46.080 And you need to know the truth on that.

00:00:49.020 And that leads me to the explanation of what this impeachment trial is really all about.

00:00:55.060 And some really great insights from Mike Lee on the impeachment trial and also the media.

00:01:03.100 We also had David Barton and Burgess Owens, Congressman Burgess Owens, in to talk about Black History Month.

00:01:11.380 Oh, the left is not going to like what we have to say.

00:01:15.740 But I think you will.

00:01:17.340 Black or white.

00:01:18.320 All on the Glenn Beck Podcast.

00:01:26.500 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:30.620 Actress Gina Carano has incurred the wrath of the mob.

00:01:41.620 The mob that runs Hollywood, the universities, and the arts.

00:01:45.160 She made a historical analogy with the intention of giving people pause in their relentless crusade to ostracize non-leftists from society.

00:01:57.100 This is what she wrote in a post.

00:01:58.960 First, Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors, even by children.

00:02:07.100 Because 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,

00:02:16.340 the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.

00:02:22.060 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?

00:02:26.060 She is absolutely 100% correct.

00:02:30.800 They did it through propaganda.

00:02:33.020 They did it through smears.

00:02:34.580 And they did it through intimidation.

00:02:36.820 And they praised the people who did it.

00:02:39.720 So if you were beating Jews in the streets, you'd be held up by the Nazi party as one of the good guys. 0.96

00:02:52.000 You'd get special praise.

00:02:55.500 If you said something in defense, the opposite would happen.

00:02:59.940 Well, just to show how much they don't hate her political views and don't want to silence people or beat them into submission.

00:03:10.020 They lobbied to have Disney beat her into submission. 0.99

00:03:15.380 And when she wouldn't submit, they fired her.

00:03:18.760 She is not currently employed by Lucasfilm.

00:03:22.300 And according to Disney, there are no plans for her to be hired in the future.

00:03:27.020 Her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.

00:03:33.320 Her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.

00:03:42.980 What? 0.95

00:03:43.980 To say, hey, you know how you get people to beat Jews? 0.93

00:03:49.720 You run a campaign and you get the neighbors to beat the Jews for you. 1.00

00:03:54.360 What?

00:03:55.540 You know what?

00:03:56.260 We should.

00:03:56.680 You know what?

00:03:57.360 We should.

00:03:57.720 We 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.

00:04:16.180 We should ban that.

00:04:17.260 We should.

00:04:17.540 You know what?

00:04:18.560 Stu, let's make a list of books we should ban.

00:04:21.520 Always a good idea.

00:04:22.640 And with no historical echo at all.

00:04:24.740 Well, none that could be said about the Nazis.

00:04:27.720 I can't mention it.

00:04:28.480 No, no, no, no, no.

00:04:30.740 All right.

00:04:31.500 Let me tell you what's going on.

00:04:32.580 You know this already.

00:04:33.820 This is just to intimidate you and everyone else.

00:04:36.900 This is the way that dictators do it. 0.97

00:04:41.020 This is the way.

00:04:42.640 What does that mean?

00:04:44.140 Is that code?

00:04:44.940 Is that a Zionist code? 0.89

00:04:46.100 I can't.

00:04:46.460 I can't talk about the code.

00:04:47.520 Oh, my gosh.

00:04:48.100 Okay.

00:04:49.500 This is the way dictators take over countries. 0.99

00:04:53.260 They take over countries by propaganda. 0.56

00:04:58.400 That's why propaganda is so dangerous, especially when it is being done by the state and, in our case, also powerful corporations.

00:05:10.180 Now, let me give you one of those powerful corporations, the New York Times.

00:05:15.540 Now, I'm going to address the New York Times specifically on this article in about 50 minutes.

00:05:24.360 So, you don't want to miss that.

00:05:26.360 But there's an article that runs today, how right-wing radio stoked anger before the Capitol siege.

00:05:33.800 The New York Times writes,

00:05:35.820 Shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other talk radio stars promoted debunked claims of stolen election and urged listeners to fight back.

00:05:46.320 Two 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,

00:05:57.780 the right-wing radio star Glenn Beck delivered a message to his flock of listeners.

00:06:03.080 It's time to fight.

00:06:05.180 It's, quoting, it's time to rip and claw and rake, end quote, Mr. Beck said on his January 4th broadcast, quote,

00:06:13.960 Quote, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago, end quote.

00:06:20.180 Hmm.

00:06:21.460 Okay, time to rip, claw, and rake. 0.91

00:06:24.240 And his January 4th broadcast, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:06:28.940 Why, why is that a problem?

00:06:31.760 Why is that a problem?

00:06:32.620 Well, 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.

00:06:39.680 Yo, okay.

00:06:40.600 I don't remember that part of the story.

00:06:42.760 Well, you should listen to the monologue.

00:06:44.600 Oh, okay.

00:06:45.020 We'll get into that later.

00:06:46.900 Former Fox News host, Mr. Beck, has speculated for weeks about baseless claims of voter fraud in the presidential race.

00:06:54.760 He told listeners that Donald J. Trump had taught conservatives that you don't have to cower anymore.

00:07:00.080 You don't have to back down when ridiculed into oblivion.

00:07:03.020 You can fight back.

00:07:04.860 Yeah, that's true.

00:07:07.080 Is that a bad message?

00:07:08.540 Is that a bad message to tell people that you don't have to cower?

00:07:12.520 Don't live in fear.

00:07:13.840 Stand up for what you believe in.

00:07:16.080 Is that somehow now a bad message to reject the bullies?

00:07:22.580 I mean, would you like to hear an anti-bullying message from, I don't know, the New York Times?

00:07:32.400 It's amazing.

00:07:37.580 Now it's not okay to say, stand up straight.

00:07:41.160 Don't be ashamed of who you are.

00:07:43.500 Stand up.

00:07:44.000 If somebody calls you a name, dismiss it.

00:07:47.720 Stand up.

00:07:48.340 Fight back.

00:07:49.060 Speak the truth.

00:07:50.000 Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to invade the Capitol.

00:07:56.220 And 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.

00:08:06.380 Wait, wait, you asked people to channel their inner Martin Luther King, which, of course, I've heard you do thousands of times.

00:08:14.740 Yeah.

00:08:15.700 And the article is about how you tried to get people to riot at the Capitol?

00:08:21.080 Yes.

00:08:21.200 I don't remember that part of the Martin Luther King story.

00:08:24.100 Well, remember when Martin Luther King said, cower, you've got to cower in fear.

00:08:31.080 Don't stand up.

00:08:32.400 Don't speak your mind.

00:08:34.180 Remember?

00:08:34.740 He was saying, when you go in to the lunch counter, cower.

00:08:39.240 I don't remember that.

00:08:40.320 He said, sit down.

00:08:41.540 That's what he said.

00:08:42.340 Sit down.

00:08:43.540 I mean, I'm saying don't sit down.

00:08:46.380 Okay?

00:08:46.880 He said, sit down.

00:08:48.420 I mean, I'm glad they included the Martin Luther King point, but doesn't it totally disprove their argument from the first paragraph?

00:08:56.340 Yes, it does, but they don't care.

00:08:57.900 Mr. Beck did not lobby for his listeners to evade the Capitol.

00:09:00.160 Day 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.

00:09:08.020 Wait a minute.

00:09:09.280 No, no, no.

00:09:10.340 They also put that in there?

00:09:11.860 Yes, they did.

00:09:12.420 But 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.

00:09:25.500 Well, I can tell you this.

00:09:26.200 The Martin Luther King point is typical of the Glenn Beck program for the last decade.

00:09:31.320 Yeah.

00:09:31.680 Maybe decade and a half.

00:09:33.160 At least.

00:09:33.760 Yeah.

00:09:34.300 But wait.

00:09:35.480 What?

00:09:36.140 No, no.

00:09:37.320 I need at least one moment on this.

00:09:40.000 They'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.

00:09:50.840 Yeah, it's time to go to war as the left went to war four years ago.

00:09:54.880 And then you said the Martin Luther King thing not on the 6th after the violence.

00:09:59.120 Right.

00:09:59.420 You said the Martin Luther King thing on the 5th before the day of the violence.

00:10:04.520 Right.

00:10:04.900 And they're still leading a column about the violence with you?

00:10:08.220 Yeah, well, that's fascinating.

00:10:11.160 They're using me as the rhetoric that is heard all throughout talk radio.

00:10:18.100 Doesn't it seem like if, okay, you go down this road and you're like, all right, I'm going to write this thing.

00:10:21.700 And here's a quote from Glenn Beck that looks really bad out of context.

00:10:24.080 I'm going to put it in there.

00:10:24.720 When you make the decision that you add the Martin Luther King point, which totally disproves what you've just written.

00:10:32.920 That 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.

00:10:43.000 They may have put the Martin Luther King thing in there because.

00:10:47.360 So this is not their suggestion.

00:10:49.340 This was not their suggestion.

00:10:51.200 In fact, and I'm going to get into this.

00:10:53.580 Oh, because I have the email.

00:10:56.060 I'm going to show you where they started.

00:10:58.260 And it was, it's time to go to war. 0.74

00:11:02.240 And they left out as the left went to war four years ago.

00:11:05.360 They left that part out originally.

00:11:06.720 Oh, so yeah, that was a negotiation point in that sentence.

00:11:11.980 Okay.

00:11:12.440 So anyway, the reason why I'm bringing this up here is because I want you to know what is really happening in Washington.

00:11:20.500 As we discussed yesterday, the Democrats don't have a prayer of impeaching.

00:11:27.540 I'm sorry, of convicting Donald Trump.

00:11:30.640 Okay.

00:11:30.880 They don't have a prayer of it.

00:11:32.260 They're not going to win.

00:11:34.180 So why are they doing this battle?

00:11:37.460 Several reasons.

00:11:38.740 I'll give you the biggest in a second.

00:11:41.040 First, it's a distraction.

00:11:44.200 No, no, sorry.

00:11:44.820 It's a distraction.

00:11:46.040 First, it's a distraction.

00:11:48.160 You have to distract from what's really going on in the first 100 days.

00:11:52.920 The second thing that is happening now is they are trying to make sure that you understand, don't stand up.

00:12:06.880 Don't stand up.

00:12:07.880 You cower in fear.

00:12:09.620 If anyone tries to run for president and take on the machine, the machine will kill them.

00:12:14.940 It will destroy them in every way possible.

00:12:18.920 And they're teaching you a lesson by teaching Donald Trump a lesson.

00:12:24.720 This is what you get if you come against us.

00:12:27.540 Okay.

00:12:27.840 But here's the third reason.

00:12:29.900 And it is, I believe, a very important reason.

00:12:34.940 In fact, I think it might be the most important reason.

00:12:37.580 They are tying rhetoric directly to violence.

00:12:44.900 Now, they will never tie their rhetoric to violence.

00:12:49.040 But 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.

00:12:59.120 And they were trying to tie us into violence.

00:13:01.820 Well, now they have the one case where the Tea Party is violent.

00:13:05.280 SEIU beating people in the streets during the Tea Party, they had no problem with that. 0.95

00:13:11.520 No problem with that.

00:13:13.420 But our violent rhetoric, which never turned to violence, that's where they were headed.

00:13:20.000 Now they have it.

00:13:21.960 So this article, it's not a coincidence that A, that monologue, was a monologue that referenced media matters.

00:13:30.660 I can guarantee you media matters has its fingers all over this story.

00:13:35.280 Second, it's not a coincidence that it is coming out right now.

00:13:40.820 As they are showing all the violence on television that happened on January 6th, which was despicable and we condemned it immediately.

00:13:53.300 While it was happening.

00:13:53.920 While it was happening.

00:13:54.700 While that was happening, we're condemning it.

00:14:00.740 They take this video now and they're pushing it through and they've got all the media showing Trump's violent rhetoric.

00:14:09.840 See, this is what happens when you have a leader that does this.

00:14:13.000 But now they also want to tie in and say, yeah, but the leader also had some helpers along the way.

00:14:19.980 He he had right wing radio.

00:14:23.760 They have been trying to shut us down for so long.

00:14:27.300 The targets in this article, Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino.

00:14:31.220 Mark Levin and me.

00:14:35.600 Well, two out of the four have cancer.

00:14:38.080 So I think it's great that they're taking on cancer patients now and accusing them of horrible things as they are fighting cancer.

00:14:48.200 But they're doing that for a reason.

00:14:51.120 They need us to be removed.

00:14:54.060 They need talk radio to be shut down.

00:14:57.500 I guarantee you the House and the Senate will move.

00:15:02.980 And if they don't move, it will just happen through the FCC.

00:15:07.240 They will do everything they can to silence our voices because they need you to not have a freedom of association.

00:15:19.100 Freedom of speech.

00:15:20.520 They need you to stop having a place to where you can gather your thoughts.

00:15:26.880 They need you to feel alone.

00:15:31.620 But you won't be alone.

00:15:34.380 You won't be alone in this fight.

00:15:37.900 You won't be alone in your stand.

00:15:41.200 Because wherever, wherever there is a group of people that are trying to erase our God-given, constitutionally protected rights,

00:15:56.860 you will find good patriots willing to stand up and fight.

00:16:04.680 Oh, did he say fight?

00:16:08.180 How do you mean fight, Glenn?

00:16:09.620 I know we're not intelligent enough to know after a lifetime of using the word fight, having cheerleaders go fight, fight, fight. 1.00

00:16:20.020 We're so stupid that we don't realize that there are many ways to take that term. 0.99

00:16:28.180 And especially those who listen to this program, who have heard me talk about Gandhi and MLK forever. 0.99

00:16:38.180 Incessantly.

00:16:39.340 I mean, gosh, going back to.

00:16:41.880 Okay, stop.

00:16:43.500 Don't need to hear it.

00:16:46.040 Just know this is why impeachment is happening.

00:16:49.440 This is what is happening in social media, and it's about to come like a bag of bricks onto talk radio.

00:16:58.080 You will never silence me.

00:17:00.640 You will find me beneath a tree in your town square or in some farm, and I will be there telling you the true history of America,

00:17:13.600 what's truly going on, and how we need to stand shoulder to shoulder and try to be servants of the Lord.

00:17:22.800 So he will provide us some protection.

00:17:30.760 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:37.400 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:39.760 Well, in reading the New York Times, I find out that Mike Lee does not have a problem with the riots.

00:17:46.160 I think he was cheering them on, and he thought that Donald Trump should get a mulligan for it.

00:17:54.240 This is a story by Glenn Thrush.

00:17:56.940 Mike Lee suggests Trump should get a mulligan for the Capitol Riot Day speech.

00:18:03.320 Wow, that doesn't sound like Mike Lee.

00:18:08.120 In an email to Mr. Lee's spokesman requesting an explanation of his remarks,

00:18:12.080 it 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,

00:18:20.620 but that's only some in social media.

00:18:22.880 As an example of what he viewed as a recent transgression,

00:18:26.640 Mr. Lee singled out Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York,

00:18:32.360 for making it personal, quote, end quote,

00:18:36.980 when she recently took a swipe at his ally, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

00:18:43.240 A swipe? Wow.

00:18:45.340 I guess that's what she said when he was planning on having her killed.

00:18:50.000 I guess that was a swipe to the New York Times.

00:18:53.200 Calling someone a murderer is definitely a swipe.

00:18:55.380 It is a swipe.

00:18:56.420 It's definitely one word for it.

00:18:57.880 Senator Mike Lee here to answer the charges.

00:19:01.360 Go ahead.

00:19:02.300 The courts are listening, Mike.

00:19:05.220 Well, you know, unfortunately, she only accused him of attempted murder.

00:19:10.000 Right.

00:19:11.080 Right.

00:19:11.640 Oh, yeah, that's right.

00:19:12.440 If if it was actual murder, then that wouldn't have been a swipe.

00:19:15.900 That would have been important.

00:19:16.920 But this was attempted murder.

00:19:18.860 Right.

00:19:19.700 Exactly.

00:19:20.300 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:20.960 One of the things I've learned is that, you know, you've got a problem with your news source

00:19:25.160 when every single time they print something as to which you have personal knowledge that wrong.

00:19:31.660 Yeah, I'm sure that's just a massive coincidence here.

00:19:34.200 Yes, I'm sure it is.

00:19:35.420 I'm sure it is.

00:19:36.080 It's probably that you're listening to the wrong sources.

00:19:39.900 You're part of the conspiracy cabal.

00:19:42.680 You know, that's probably what the what the problem is, Mike.

00:19:46.800 Tell me first.

00:19:47.900 Interesting thing there.

00:19:48.820 Yeah, go ahead.

00:19:49.300 I just want I just I just want you to because I know the context and what is so crazy is

00:19:56.440 the context that this was set in was to say, let's ratchet things down a bit and I'm going

00:20:04.920 to give everybody a mulligan because everybody makes mistakes.

00:20:08.040 You were talking to the left.

00:20:09.940 You weren't talking about Donald Trump.

00:20:12.780 That's exactly right.

00:20:13.960 I was talking to and in that sense, in defense of some of my colleagues on the far left who

00:20:21.640 had said some really inflammatory stuff, stuff that that rivals a lot of the things that

00:20:27.700 are being attacked that have been said by people on the right.

00:20:31.680 And so I said, look, referring specifically to those people on the left, people like AOC, 0.55

00:20:39.860 Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer.

00:20:42.680 I said, hey, everyone from time to time says something that they regret.

00:20:47.980 And, you know, they probably ought to take a mulligan on this one.

00:20:51.640 Everyone's entitled to one of those once in a while.

00:20:54.000 But the point is, we shouldn't be saying things like this in no way, shape or form.

00:21:00.260 Did I say that President Trump ought to be taking a mulligan on this?

00:21:04.100 That had nothing to do with President Trump.

00:21:06.020 And yet somehow the geniuses at New York Times and the geniuses at Fox 13 in Salt Lake City and

00:21:12.940 about 50 other news outlets throughout the country picked it up and took exactly that message

00:21:19.540 directly contrary to the fact.

00:21:22.060 And the truth is, this reflects what can best be characterized as reckless disregard for the truth.

00:21:29.520 But ironically, they're going to be the arbiters of truth here soon.

00:21:33.780 Mike, they are pushing for it and trying to silence anyone that has a different opinion.

00:21:40.520 Now, that's that's exactly right.

00:21:42.580 And they're they're playing off of the famous Supreme Court case.

00:21:48.900 New York Times versus Sullivan basically gives them impunity to defame people.

00:21:54.060 So long as they're not acting with knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth.

00:21:58.580 And yet, oddly enough, here, they seem to have crossed that threshold.

00:22:01.660 And I've got another one for you.

00:22:03.340 They just wrote a story about me today in The New York Times that they they knowingly,

00:22:08.900 knowingly are printing things that are just false as a news story.

00:22:16.000 If it was a if it was an opinion piece, that'd be one thing.

00:22:19.580 But this is a news story and it's despicable, Mike.

00:22:25.200 Let's talk a little bit about the impeachment trial itself.

00:22:28.400 First of all, are you seeing any movement at all with anyone on either side?

00:22:34.860 The Democrats making a good case or any of the the Republicans going, oh, I don't know.

00:22:40.100 That's a good point.

00:22:42.640 OK, look, here's what I'll tell you on that front.

00:22:45.180 There's no doubt horrible things happened on January 6th.

00:22:48.980 There's no doubt that we should have been able to avoid it.

00:22:55.260 I wish we had been able to avoid it.

00:22:57.800 I've said for a long time that I don't think that there should have been an effort to try

00:23:04.000 to win the election on January 6th, because if you read the 12th Amendment and if you read

00:23:09.480 Article two of the Constitution, they don't make that possible.

00:23:13.860 It is the states that decide these things and not Congress.

00:23:18.360 Correct.

00:23:18.700 Congress is there only to count.

00:23:20.180 It has one job.

00:23:21.060 Open and count.

00:23:21.720 Open and count.

00:23:22.220 That's that's it.

00:23:24.500 These things that happened on January 6th were tragic.

00:23:27.580 They were horrific.

00:23:28.500 All of that being the case, it is different than what is on trial this week.

00:23:38.660 What's on trial this week is different than that.

00:23:42.820 And there are a number of us, 44 of us, to be precise, that don't believe that it's appropriate

00:23:48.360 for the Senate to exercise jurisdiction as a court of impeachment after a president's

00:23:53.700 term of office has expired.

00:23:56.180 Can I give you something on this?

00:23:57.800 Just to play devil's advocate, give Mike the quote from John Adams.

00:24:03.540 John Quincy Adams.

00:24:04.600 Yeah.

00:24:05.400 Let's see.

00:24:06.000 Here we go.

00:24:06.260 I hold myself so long as I have the breath of life in my body amenable to impeachment by

00:24:11.400 the House for everything I did during the time I held any public office.

00:24:15.500 Yeah, that's great.

00:24:18.320 And I've seen that quote and I understand his point.

00:24:21.800 I don't think he's necessarily approaching this as a textualist.

00:24:24.940 I don't think he's necessarily approaching this as someone who sees the abuse of government

00:24:31.200 powers that can be brought to bear with an impeachment trial.

00:24:34.560 I don't think he anticipated the issues that could arise as a result of it.

00:24:39.800 Now, look, I will grant you this much as a strict textual matter.

00:24:43.880 It is a very close call.

00:24:46.580 I actually think the text can be read one way or the other, thus requiring us to make

00:24:51.820 some prudential judgment calls about how best it ought to fit into this framework.

00:24:57.080 But when you look at this floodgates, this thing would open.

00:25:00.280 You imagine what would happen.

00:25:01.400 Just for example, the next time we have a red wave election, you'd see massive calls for

00:25:06.560 impeachment proceedings on Hillary Clinton, for Benghazi, on Jim Comey, maybe even for Jimmy

00:25:12.220 Carter, going back to the fact that he gave away the Panama Canal.

00:25:15.800 This would result in an interminable succession of absurd impeachment proceedings.

00:25:19.900 I don't think that's good for the country.

00:25:21.540 I don't think we ought to give Congress that power.

00:25:23.300 So when the chief justice decided not to be seated for this, does this make this a kangaroo

00:25:34.900 court?

00:25:35.900 I mean, isn't that part of the Constitution?

00:25:39.660 First of all, it's not at all clear to me that the chief justice declined anything.

00:25:43.500 From what I understand, the chief justice was never invited to preside.

00:25:48.940 What?

00:25:49.620 They knew that by the time we got the articles of impeachment, 10 days or so, mind you, after

00:25:57.520 they had passed them, and nearly a week after President Trump had left office, they knew

00:26:04.560 that he wasn't the president.

00:26:06.860 And thus, it wasn't appropriate to have the chief justice attend.

00:26:10.640 Someone floated the rumor that he had been invited and declined.

00:26:15.480 Now, unless there's something out there that's changed, that's simply not true.

00:26:21.000 My understanding is that he was never invited in the first place.

00:26:24.080 Why?

00:26:24.440 Well, they knew he's not the president, and therefore there's no reason to have the chief

00:26:29.240 justice.

00:26:29.900 Okay, so does it make this, I mean, is it constitutional to an impeachment?

00:26:35.900 Doesn't it say the Supreme Court justice comes and oversees it?

00:26:43.680 Yes, yes.

00:26:45.280 If, in fact, the president is being tried for impeachment, but here we don't have the president

00:26:51.960 or the vice president or any civil officers of the United States.

00:26:55.640 You have a former president.

00:26:57.200 It's a different thing.

00:26:58.120 It doesn't require the chief justice to preside.

00:26:59.820 And by my reading, it shouldn't allow us to have a trial at all.

00:27:04.780 Now, this would have been different.

00:27:06.660 That would have been a completely different set of questions we were facing.

00:27:10.240 Have the House of Representatives initiated this process and actually delivered the articles

00:27:15.060 of impeachment right after they passed them?

00:27:17.280 They didn't.

00:27:18.040 They sat on them.

00:27:19.300 Why?

00:27:19.620 I'm not really sure.

00:27:21.080 You're going to have to ask Nancy Pelosi that question.

00:27:23.780 But it makes a huge difference for them, and they really need to live with the consequences,

00:27:28.940 and that's what they're facing now.

00:27:30.480 It's one of the reasons why I don't think there will be a shift in the outcome of this

00:27:34.200 impeachment.

00:27:34.660 Remember, in order for an impeachment trial to be successful, you can have no more than

00:27:41.460 33 senators voting to acquit.

00:27:46.120 But we've got 44 already who are saying just on jurisdictional grounds alone, we shouldn't

00:27:51.980 do this.

00:27:53.320 And so unless something dramatic changes, which I don't see, we're nowhere close.

00:27:57.700 So then why are they doing this again?

00:28:00.240 This is remarkable stuff.

00:28:03.200 This, to me, leads to banana republic kind of stuff, because as you've just said, you 0.62

00:28:11.180 know, you get a red wave, then who do they take out?

00:28:13.700 This is what dictatorships do.

00:28:15.640 This is what banana republics do. 1.00

00:28:17.480 So what is their gain?

00:28:19.520 What is the real goal, do you think, Mike?

00:28:23.780 It appears to me they're doing everything they can to smear Republicans, smear conservatives,

00:28:31.280 smear people who support or supported Donald Trump at any moment.

00:28:36.960 And all along the way, they're characterizing the evidence.

00:28:40.040 In fact, it's not, at least so far, it's not like a normal trial.

00:28:45.640 They're not bringing in witnesses.

00:28:47.340 They're basically reciting things from news reports written by their liberal allies with

00:28:53.440 the most smearing characterization they can possibly find.

00:28:57.980 Some of them turn out to be inaccurate.

00:28:59.800 I made an objection last night to some evidence that they claimed to have that I personally knew about.

00:29:06.840 And I asked that it be stricken because I knew it not to be true.

00:29:10.220 Look, it's always hard for me to speak to another person's subjective intent.

00:29:13.780 But what I do know is that they seem to be having a good time doing everything they can to just say Republicans are awful. 0.98

00:29:22.660 And all of these people who supported Donald Trump are awful. 0.94

00:29:27.700 I think that's unfortunate.

00:29:28.680 So 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.

00:29:49.120 We have 5,000 troops still on the ground in in Washington, D.C. without a defined mission that doesn't happen.

00:30:00.220 The Department of Homeland Security says there is no credible or specific threat.

00:30:07.900 What is going on, Mike?

00:30:09.800 You can't keep calling half the country violent extremists.

00:30:14.640 And I mean, because at some point you're like, well, then we got to do something about it.

00:30:18.260 If they're all violent extremists, we have to do.

00:30:20.800 Well, what do you do?

00:30:21.920 This is not about an election anymore.

00:30:25.080 You know, I tell you, Glenn, we have to take down that wall every day when I come into work.

00:30:31.060 I have to pass this enormous wall with razor wire, with armed military all around it.

00:30:39.420 Not only are these bad optics optics, this is bad substance.

00:30:43.520 This is not who we are.

00:30:44.960 This is not what we need to do.

00:30:46.460 And 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.

00:30:56.280 Mike Lee, thank you so much.

00:30:57.940 Mike Lee, Senator of Utah.

00:30:59.760 I'd like to talk to you more about that.

00:31:01.060 I mean, I remember Reagan saying that.

00:31:05.140 Never thought I would hear Mike Lee say those words to Chuck Schumer about a wall, let alone the wall around the Capitol.

00:31:17.460 Tear down this wall.

00:31:19.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:23.280 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:31:30.280 Joining us now, David Barton, founder of Wall Builders and the author of The American Story, which is a book everyone should own.

00:31:40.640 Get the American Story by David Barton.

00:31:44.540 It is pithy in its stories.

00:31:47.760 It is comprehensive.

00:31:49.560 It's the best starter kit on American history I think I've ever seen.

00:31:56.420 It's called The American Story.

00:31:57.880 You can buy it on Amazon or wherever you buy your books by David Barton.

00:32:01.220 Welcome, David.

00:32:01.880 How are you?

00:32:02.460 Hey, Glenn.

00:32:03.000 Hey, Stu.

00:32:03.720 Not a bad little endorsement there.

00:32:05.920 No, that's pretty good.

00:32:07.200 I'll keep that one.

00:32:08.260 He's paying me.

00:32:09.380 I didn't mean a word of it, Stu.

00:32:11.140 We have Burgess Owens on with us as well.

00:32:15.700 Congressman, how are you, sir?

00:32:17.460 I'm doing good, Glenn.

00:32:18.660 Good.

00:32:18.920 Pleasure talking.

00:32:19.500 What are you looking forward to, if you're sure?

00:32:20.920 Well, I don't know if we can really, you know, as two white guys, you know, as I've learned from Salt Lake Tribune,

00:32:27.900 white guys can probably understand the black plight a little bit better than you because you were an athlete.

00:32:33.020 You made a lot of money. 0.89

00:32:33.980 You know, white privilege, white privilege, white privilege.

00:32:36.200 So what do you really understand about the black culture and plight? 1.00

00:32:40.360 Well, I think it's interesting.

00:32:41.860 This is what I have to keep in mind is the condescending attitude of these leftists.

00:32:46.060 And by the way, I want to make a very clear point.

00:32:47.920 I'm not talking about liberals.

00:32:48.640 I'm talking about leftists.

00:32:49.900 These are folks who don't have the same values, the same desire to have the endgame that conservatives and liberals have, good people have.

00:32:57.060 This is probably the only time he's ever thought about the plight of black Americans, particularly our young kids.

00:33:01.520 If 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.

00:33:08.900 Look at the history we've had.

00:33:10.160 Look how far we've come.

00:33:11.420 And if we can do it back in the 60s, we can do it in 2020, 21.

00:33:15.580 But no, the leftists like this Salt Lake Trib, and by the way, can I say this also?

00:33:20.280 So do not take the lead of leftist papers reading the headlines.

00:33:28.340 They don't believe that we have the intelligence to read through the article to find the truth.

00:33:33.320 So they have these remarkable headlines that people get caught up in.

00:33:36.840 Just know that's another tool that the left does.

00:33:39.500 But 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.

00:33:52.020 And that is the thing that we all used to melt in.

00:33:56.360 We used to have a melting pot, and we melted in.

00:33:59.060 We 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.

00:34:12.820 But when we live up to those, that's what Martin Luther King was saying.

00:34:16.220 America, he wasn't trashing America.

00:34:18.120 He was saying, live up to your founding words.

00:34:22.440 It's the same thing that I think Frederick Douglass, you know, at first he didn't like the Constitution.

00:34:27.040 Then he was asked, did you read it?

00:34:30.140 And he read it.

00:34:31.040 And, David, what happened?

00:34:32.360 He completely turned around.

00:34:33.580 He said there was not a single anti-slavery word in that document.

00:34:36.980 He'd been taught there was by white abolitionists who were really anti-Constitution.

00:34:40.940 When he became a full-time speaker for the Massachusetts Abolition Society, he said, I have a responsibility to know what I'm talking about.

00:34:47.500 So he read the Constitution.

00:34:48.940 He said he went through an epiphany.

00:34:50.340 Completely changed his view of founding fathers.

00:34:52.940 It's interesting.

00:34:53.820 Frederick Douglass, in his life, wrote an autobiography three times.

00:34:56.740 He wrote an autobiography when he was young, when he's middle-aged, and when he's older.

00:35:00.900 And 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.

00:35:07.400 A 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.

00:35:13.380 That's earlier in life.

00:35:14.760 As you see him get later in life, he has a whole different viewpoint.

00:35:18.000 And that inclusion comes from knowing history.

00:35:20.740 And that's something he did not know as a slave.

00:35:22.560 Once he studied it out, once he found it, there was a whole different American story than what he knew.

00:35:26.840 And I will tell you this.

00:35:27.920 I feel the same way on American history.

00:35:31.740 The white aspects of it, the black aspects of it, the yellow.

00:35:37.460 I mean, it just doesn't matter what color you are.

00:35:41.740 But 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,

00:35:53.740 who did this?

00:35:55.480 How come I don't know those stories?

00:35:57.460 How come I only know these four people?

00:35:59.560 And I've never heard of people like Phyllis Wheatley.

00:36:03.180 Well, there is a reason you don't know it.

00:36:06.000 And it is the progressives that did this.

00:36:09.900 Yeah, 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.

00:36:18.040 And 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,

00:36:26.120 who is more photographed than Abraham Lincoln was.

00:36:28.320 This is a guy that was—Wilson was alive with Frederick Douglass, and he doesn't even put him in the book.

00:36:35.620 Not a single black person at all.

00:36:37.020 Klan is in that book, though, isn't it?

00:36:38.600 That's what?

00:36:38.980 The Klan is in that book, I think.

00:36:40.520 Yeah, that is the book that the Klan used for the rebirth of the Klan, the second revival of the Klan. 0.73

00:36:46.020 And so—but academics look at it and say, my gosh, he's the president of Princeton University.

00:36:49.760 He's a professor at three universities.

00:36:52.580 This is such a smart work.

00:36:54.100 This is such a brilliant guy.

00:36:55.740 Let's use this.

00:36:56.440 And 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.

00:37:03.740 You get Malcolm X and W.B. Du Bois.

00:37:06.420 But you get very little of the Jack Sissons or the James Armisteads or all the heroes from the American Revolution that were genuine heroes.

00:37:13.340 Well, you know, it's funny because Oprah Magazine just did something on Apple, and I was looking at the Apple News app today.

00:37:21.340 And, you know, Oprah teaches black history.

00:37:23.220 And the first one she taught was Phyllis Wheatley. 0.91

00:37:25.160 However, she's leaving out an awful lot.

00:37:29.320 And what's amazing is she's like, hey, these are people you've never heard of.

00:37:33.120 And I thought, no, people in my audience, they know them.

00:37:37.780 They've they we've talked about Phyllis Wheatley forever.

00:37:40.800 But 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.

00:37:49.740 Born in Gambia, sold to the Wheatley family in Boston when she was seven.

00:37:53.480 Wheatley was emancipated shortly after her book was released.

00:37:57.080 Wow.

00:37:57.460 Is that the Phyllis Wheatley story?

00:37:59.760 I think they missed some major points.

00:38:01.780 Some major points.

00:38:03.280 Yeah.

00:38:03.560 First of all, she was the first African-American to publish a book as a slave. 0.80

00:38:08.660 Yeah.

00:38:08.940 How did that happen?

00:38:10.040 She didn't publish a book.

00:38:10.420 She did not publish a book.

00:38:11.820 Her book was published, but she did not publish a book.

00:38:14.220 Who published that?

00:38:14.740 It was published by Selina Countess of Huntington, English sponsor.

00:38:19.680 She was in England and the book was published in England, not in America.

00:38:23.200 And so she was actually taken to England for her health.

00:38:25.860 Her health was not good while she was there.

00:38:28.060 This great lady, she's called Lady Bountiful. 0.93

00:38:32.200 I mean, she put her money into really good endeavors.

00:38:34.280 This is a woman who really changed everything. 1.00

00:38:36.300 She changed everything.

00:38:36.980 Nobody knows who she is.

00:38:38.240 That's right.

00:38:38.420 We should talk about her sometime.

00:38:39.920 She's a white woman. 1.00

00:38:40.700 Nobody knows who she is, but she actually changed the course of the country and religion.

00:38:48.420 You know, it's interesting that in the founding era, the concept of separating whites and blacks

00:38:53.920 is not nearly as prominent as it was in the Civil War.

00:38:56.300 And so in so many places, even where there was slavery, there was not the segregation.

00:39:01.020 Let me just give you an example.

00:39:02.520 Something we found just in the last few months was in the American Revolution, we cannot find

00:39:08.300 a single battle that had segregated units in fighting.

00:39:12.440 All blacks, all whites fought together throughout the American Revolution.

00:39:15.160 It was a total volunteer army, which means you had to reenlist if you wanted to fight more

00:39:20.200 than the six months.

00:39:20.960 You sign up for six months.

00:39:22.160 I said, the average black soldier served nine times longer than the average white soldier

00:39:27.740 did, and that's on voluntary reenlistments.

00:39:30.420 They averaged nine enlistments the average black soldier did.

00:39:34.060 Average white soldier was white, was one. 0.93

00:39:36.560 So nine times longer with black guys in a volunteer army serving side by side, no segregated units.

00:39:44.120 I mean, the narrative, you said earlier, we're a melting pot even back then.

00:39:47.900 We looked at George Washington's generals.

00:39:49.920 Out of 76 generals he had, 28 of them came from foreign nations.

00:39:54.280 So just over one third of his generals were foreign nations.

00:39:57.240 You look at all the ladies involved.

00:39:58.820 You look at all the black heroes involved.

00:40:01.140 We used to know that.

00:40:02.100 Thank you, Woodrow Wilson.

00:40:03.020 We know none of that now.

00:40:04.040 Phyllis Wheatley, I just want to go back to her real quick.

00:40:08.040 Emancipated shortly after her book was released, what she leaves out is the important part

00:40:11.740 that Ben Franklin, if I'm not mistaken, used to take her from town to town and would bring

00:40:19.520 her in front of white audiences to read her poetry, basically in a way of saying, anybody 1.00

00:40:26.400 who says black people are stupid, I'd like you to meet somebody. 1.00

00:40:30.900 George Washington did the same thing. 1.00

00:40:32.220 George Washington had her kind of as the first USO for American troops. 0.94

00:40:36.740 George Washington had Phyllis Wheatley read her poetry to the officers at Cambridge when

00:40:42.040 they had the siege of Boston going on.

00:40:43.760 He brought Phyllis Wheatley in to read to the troops. 0.97

00:40:47.080 Why would you do that if you hated all black people? 0.98

00:40:50.420 Why would you do that if you thought they were animals? 0.99

00:40:53.480 You wouldn't do that.

00:40:55.280 You wouldn't do that.

00:40:56.680 But you don't hear this because it goes against the narrative they're trying to create today.

00:41:00.360 They're cutting out major portions of black history in order to create a new narrative

00:41:04.780 that goes in the wrong direction.

00:41:06.580 Burgess, let me pick it up with you.

00:41:08.620 Okay.

00:41:10.420 You wanted to comment on what we were just talking about.

00:41:13.280 Yes, I do.

00:41:14.500 And this is why history is so important.

00:41:16.720 And by the way, I'm blessed.

00:41:18.560 When I was raised in my segregated community of the 60s, we were taught history.

00:41:21.940 We were taught pride in our country.

00:41:23.180 As a matter of fact, what we had in common with all the other different cultures around

00:41:26.840 our country, Jewish, German, Polish, we were not assimilating at that time.

00:41:31.100 But what we had in common is love for our country.

00:41:33.520 We had love for our history.

00:41:34.520 And the fact we were called Americans, our goal very simply was to gain respect, command

00:41:39.240 respect from our fellow Americans by beating them out.

00:41:42.160 It's called meritocracy.

00:41:43.380 That's where we're going.

00:41:43.900 So understand that this has been an attack on our country for a long, long time.

00:41:47.100 It was Karl Marx, the Marxist Karl Marx.

00:41:49.340 It's the first battlegrounds we're writing of history, because in our history, we find

00:41:53.180 pride.

00:41:54.140 We find pride in our past.

00:41:55.400 We find appreciation for who we are today and a vision for our future.

00:41:58.520 And our vision for America has always been to look at each other better from inside out

00:42:02.220 versus outside in and understand what we have in common is what makes us so unique and

00:42:06.420 so great as a nation.

00:42:07.920 I can tell you something right now that I never thought when I was in the 60s growing up that

00:42:13.160 I'm not just part of my family.

00:42:14.540 My family is black, white, Hispanic, American Indian, Trinidadian, and if I did some more

00:42:19.920 genealogy, I'd probably find some more.

00:42:21.860 That is the way our country has always been defined.

00:42:25.060 And what we have to understand is there are people out there who do not want us to come

00:42:27.700 together.

00:42:28.220 The we the people, the most powerful three words in history of mankind, says that we

00:42:31.660 see ourselves as a unit, as a team, and we get past our differences because we have

00:42:35.480 the same end game. 0.98

00:42:36.880 This leftist group, the cowards and the bullies, the people who hide behind liberalism, they 0.99

00:42:42.420 hide behind media, they hide behind a computer screen. 0.99

00:42:46.140 You can't see them, but they're empowered by destroying people's lives.

00:42:49.960 And that's what we're up against right now.

00:42:51.400 And understand that the more we know about our history, the more those guys lose because

00:42:55.020 we become proud of who we are.

00:42:56.700 And by the way, that's why they've been trying these leftists in the NFL, NBA, trying to get

00:43:00.480 rid of our flag, our national anthem, our worshiping God.

00:43:05.060 Those are the things that keep us as a unit focused on something we have in common.

00:43:09.980 It allows us to go to a game.

00:43:11.740 And whether we are conservative or liberal, we can root for our team and high five because

00:43:16.660 we're on the same team.

00:43:17.460 So understand that's what they're trying to do, divide us.

00:43:19.780 And they take that, they do that by taking away our history that shows what we've done

00:43:23.120 together is remarkable.

00:43:24.280 By the way, Jeremiah Hamilton in 1821, before the Civil War, was a stockbroker in New York.

00:43:31.100 He died in 1874, worth over $240 million today.

00:43:36.500 That's the kind of things that happen.

00:43:38.220 You have Betsy Coleman.

00:43:39.300 Wait, wait, wait.

00:43:39.840 He was black. 0.95

00:43:41.320 Oh, yeah. 0.85

00:43:41.860 I'm sorry.

00:43:42.760 In 1821, he's a stockbroker.

00:43:46.620 How's that possible?

00:43:47.760 Worth 200 and some million dollars in today's dollars at his death.

00:43:51.780 How is that possible?

00:43:52.660 We don't know that man.

00:43:54.680 Yep.

00:43:54.940 And it's possible because here's the deal that we have to understand in our country.

00:43:58.500 It doesn't matter how we get here, how long we've been here with language and speech.

00:44:01.840 If we focus on four things, our faith, the free market, education, and our family, we

00:44:09.220 can become part of the middle class or beyond.

00:44:11.460 Everyone who succeeds in this country does it through meritocracy.

00:44:15.060 They do it to the fact of command and respect.

00:44:17.240 And people like Jeremiah or Betsy Coleman are the first black pilot, international and national

00:44:25.040 pilot.

00:44:25.520 She passed away in 1934 in an accident.

00:44:29.900 But those are the kind of folks we don't know about.

00:44:31.960 Dr. Drew, I'm sure you know, Dr. Charles Drew, the founder of the Blood Bank.

00:44:37.980 There's so much of our history that goes on.

00:44:40.240 And if we were to know that, guess what happens to black Americans, black youth?

00:44:44.020 They said, if they can do it back in those days, I can do it today.

00:44:47.040 I'm so proud to have this lineage that shows what great Americans can do.

00:44:51.580 I'm just thankful I grew up in a time where I saw them first time.

00:44:53.960 I'm so blessed.

00:44:55.020 It's not hypothetical to me.

00:44:56.440 And David, it is becoming more and more difficult to find that.

00:45:00.620 You saw something happen this week that you've never seen before.

00:45:03.680 Yeah, we have seen, we've really encouraged legislators to really get into black history as

00:45:09.400 a way to expand the names, the names you just got from Burgess, you know, that you, you had

00:45:14.800 a Biddy Mason, you had a Clara Brown, you had a Stephen Smith, a Charles Patterson.

00:45:19.260 To guarantee, I don't know any of those.

00:45:21.860 We have legislators now standing in the floor of the legislatures in the mornings with a

00:45:26.800 three to five minute reading on a black hero that they've never heard before.

00:45:30.000 The kind of people we're talking about right now, just expanding the field.

00:45:33.020 And so two black history resolutions were voted down just in the past week.

00:45:38.420 And the argument was that you're presenting blacks in a way that make them look like they're

00:45:43.300 victors and overcoming, not like they're victims.

00:45:45.500 And that, that hurts the movement.

00:45:47.120 So we're voting this down because we, we don't want that image out there.

00:45:51.440 Right.

00:45:51.580 It does hurt the movement, but by doing the reverse, it hurts the people.

00:45:56.800 That's right.

00:45:57.280 Well, it hurts truth and truth is our objective.

00:45:59.640 You always tell the truth, the good, the bad, the ugly.

00:46:01.660 And there's plenty of bad and ugly with racism, discrimination.

00:46:04.740 But what I'm saying is if you're only telling the downside, you're not only just ignoring

00:46:09.020 the truth of the full picture, you are hurting people because all they hear is you can't

00:46:15.720 make it.

00:46:16.200 That's right.

00:46:16.620 And that is destructive.

00:46:18.040 That's battery acid to the soul. 0.68

00:46:19.680 That's right.

00:46:20.080 That, that will just, that's battery acid to the country as well. 0.73

00:46:23.040 You will not survive that.

00:46:25.700 So go ahead.

00:46:27.400 Can I, can I add this to that point?

00:46:29.940 Because it really is all about stereotyping.

00:46:31.520 And what I knew growing up is that there was a mentality, particularly by the Democratic 0.95

00:46:35.720 Party, that blacks were not capable. 1.00

00:46:38.080 We're not intelligent. 0.99

00:46:38.900 We were not disciplined.

00:46:40.440 We're not all those negative stereotypes.

00:46:43.160 And, and when you look back, you see Martin Luther King marching during the summer months

00:46:47.680 and down South, understand, see, remember this, they're, they're, they're walking in white

00:46:51.640 shirts and dark ties.

00:46:52.900 They're walking dressed.

00:46:54.240 They're walking in a, in a way that's very disciplined because they were not only beating,

00:46:58.080 beating out the Jim Crow laws, they were beating out the democratic stereotypes that 0.81

00:47:01.840 black people were not capable. 1.00

00:47:03.400 When I came to the NFL in 1973, there were no black quarterbacks, no black middle linebackers, 0.99

00:47:07.880 no black, uh, uh, free safeties because those were called white men leadership positions.

00:47:12.380 We don't think that way anymore.

00:47:14.140 Any, any position that a person is able to, to win out, they earn it and they get millions

00:47:19.540 of dollars to do it.

00:47:20.400 So we've grown in that area, but only in athletics.

00:47:22.760 Why is it that the leftists do not want to have us, they have us in a firm of action when

00:47:28.080 it comes down to thinking, but does not have us in a firm of action when it comes down to

00:47:31.840 sports.

00:47:32.720 That's one of the stereotypes that we have to understand this against us.

00:47:35.700 We do more than sports and singing and dancing.

00:47:38.600 We can compete in any area that we go up against if we study, we work and we feel good that

00:47:43.780 we can achieve those opportunities.

00:47:45.820 That's what they're taking away when we have Snoopy Dogg as our hero instead of Ben Carson.
