On this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck is joined by Sarah Palin to talk about abortion, Hurricane Dorian and the dangers of the left's attack on freedom of speech, and how we can all work together to save unborn babies.
00:03:03.120We'll tell you about it in 60 seconds.
00:03:05.320First, make no mistake, the left is on attack.
00:03:07.960When it comes to the issue of abortion, they are doing their best to take away the right to even protest the evil things that we're standing up against.
00:03:17.040I am so proud to partner with Preborn, and every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.
00:03:27.360Don't just advocate for the baby's life, then forget about them when they're born.
00:10:22.180So, you need to know that dis and misinformation is the setup to stifle your speech.
00:10:34.880When you hear that, just know that what they are saying is everything that disagrees with whatever the government official tells you is disinformation and should be banned.
00:10:59.000There's another story that came out from People magazine.
00:11:04.860FEMA and, you know, the reporters, people, I mean, they are relentless investigative reporting.
00:11:10.980FEMA administrator Dean Criswell or Deanne Criswell said the false claims for about FEMA are unhelpful as the federal agency attempts to assist those in need.
00:11:28.200Do you think do you think that's unhelpful?
00:11:30.800I want you to understand this is absolutely 100% the Bubba effect.
00:11:43.220I told you at one point that the government will so discredit itself.
00:11:50.720This I learned from special forces around 2004 and I interpreted it in a way that we would be hit by a terrorist attack and people would react to it and somebody would make a stupid move and the people would come when the federal troops came in and said,
00:12:13.160you got to arrest Bubba because he just killed a Sikh, he thought he was killing a Muslim, which both are wrong, but you got to arrest Bubba.
00:12:25.700We're here to take him to federal prison and the people would say, we know Bubba is wrong.
00:12:47.220You're now turning away FEMA and FEMA is claiming at least to be afraid.
00:12:54.280And if you are involved in anything that is, you know, I don't even know what they're claiming happens to them now that people are throwing rocks at them.
00:13:13.200However, meeting FEMA at the at the street or town line and you say, turn your freaking trucks away.
00:13:23.460We don't need you here is the most American thing you can do.
00:13:29.000They are coming in and they are doing everything they can to disrupt the services.
00:13:38.560If they were there on day one and they were actually helping fine.
00:13:44.160But the people have put together infrastructure now that works and people's lives have been saved that would have died because FEMA couldn't do it.
00:13:59.280So now FEMA is claiming that everything that you would say about what's happening on the ground, everything that I know is true that we have reported because we are on the ground.
00:14:15.100Everything that we're reporting, everything that we're reporting, they now say is a conspiracy.
00:14:21.380Just like ISIS will become a caliphate, just like there's the conspiracy of the financial markets collapsing in 2008, just like we'll lose the world's reserve currency.
00:14:38.020Just like we obviously, obviously, we will never be downgraded because of our debt.
00:14:46.320The conspiracy of the World Economic Forum and ESG.
00:14:52.260How many times are they going to say that that's a conspiracy theory only to have it come true before your neighbors and friends and family pay attention?
00:15:02.580Remember, Joe Biden being completely incompetent was disinformation, it was dangerous information, and it was a conspiracy theory.
00:24:32.740So much is going viral online as well.
00:24:34.440One user suggested yesterday that a militia should go against FEMA.
00:24:38.040It got more than half a million views.
00:24:40.280What kind of impact has this had on the recovery effort?
00:24:45.040It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of our own employees to be able to go out there.
00:24:51.720But it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders that have been out there in their
00:24:57.360communities, helping people, FEMA staff, volunteers, the private sector that are working side by side with local officials to go out and help people.
00:25:07.200I need to make sure I can get the resources to where they need it.
00:25:10.480And when you have this dangerous rhetoric like you're hearing, it creates fear in our own employees.
00:25:16.760We need to make sure we're getting help to the people who need it.
00:25:30.940So that means half the country is only hearing that they are not in everything that the other side said to them is being dismissed as conspiracy theory or dangerous misinformation that only plays in to see.
00:25:49.600I told you, I told you, I told you these people were dangerous when these people are the ones who have been the first responders.
00:25:57.460We have been there long before FEMA ever showed up.
00:26:03.120Let me give you two other stories and then we're going to go to the phone.
00:26:07.080My premise here is you are going to lose your freedom of speech.
00:26:12.500Elon Musk came out yesterday and said, believe me, they will try to shut down X by any means possible.
00:26:27.380If it wasn't for Elon Musk, we would be in a much different situation.
00:26:35.140He is the only man of any real clout and power that is standing up against this push.
00:26:43.900And you cannot dismiss this as a conspiracy theory because you have in the last week, Barack, Hillary, Harris, Walsh and the left all giving speeches or interviews saying.
00:27:10.820There is a new pullout from the agencies or on the agencies and the bosses.
00:27:19.200The bosses of all of the federal agencies were asked in a new Neapolitan Institute survey about the individual freedoms that Americans have.
00:27:33.640Fifty one percent of those people in charge of our agencies say Americans have somewhat too far too much freedom.
00:27:51.600Fifty seven percent believe the government has way too much control over their lives.
00:27:56.860We are looking at a difference of a big difference of a very important opinion between those who are in the agencies who control your life through their own regulation, not Congress, their own regulation.
00:28:14.660They believe you have somewhat too far too much freedom.
00:28:22.380So, you know, among the Republican federal agency chiefs, 33 percent agree and Democrats 68 percent disagree.
00:28:35.140So, even the Republicans are out of step.
00:28:40.480But this is why RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Elon Musk.
00:28:50.500That's why they're saying cut the size of the federal government.
00:29:15.660He's announced the Improving Digital Identity Act in September 2020.
00:29:22.020He says, quote, it's time for the United States to catch up with the developed world on digital identity technology.
00:29:29.380He says this is a very bipartisan bill.
00:29:33.140Remember, among the people who believe you have far too much freedom.
00:29:38.200He says it's vitally important to ramp up safeguards to protect against identity theft and fraud.
00:29:47.000When has our government been afraid of identity theft?
00:29:52.980In bipartisan manner, a member of Congress appears to be collecting evidence to bolster their argument for why digital identification is required.
00:30:02.200Apparently, the only way we can be safe is if we all have digital ID.
00:33:21.620The pride of an American, the American hard worker who doesn't, full stays working more, and never asked for any charity.
00:33:28.840They want to do it themselves while they were stuck, and they're counting on us.
00:33:34.000They're counting on us to be there, to be present, to do their very best, and all the people who are in the area are using the essentials they have inside of themselves, their skills, their personal things they're able to do, and they rose to the occasion.
00:33:50.860Every life you save, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
00:34:29.080Give a dollar if you can to help these people.
00:34:32.080Let them know that they have our support because when you're suffering terrible, it is a huge comfort to every human being to know that there's someone there who cares.
00:34:41.420And if people should lose their life, it is so nice to know they didn't die afraid and alone.
00:35:55.100I raise funds in other ways during the year.
00:35:58.560So when we come on the air and ask you about, you know, an emergency situation, we can tell you that we're not paying our phone bills or staff, you know, employees, you know, the money.
00:36:10.540That's all taken care of 100% of your money will go to help the victims of hurricanes, natural disasters.
00:36:53.540If you could improve your shooting without having to go to range, the range and waste all of that money on ammunition, you know, it's not a waste.
00:37:05.600If that's the only way you can keep your skills up, because shooting is a perishable skill and you want to be a good shot.
00:37:12.680You can drop a ton of money on ammunition, go to the range, or you can take some of the times and you can put ammunition and still use Mantis X and fire at the range.
00:37:25.280But it will tell you exactly what is going wrong with your shot and how to improve.
00:37:31.34090% of the people that try Mantis X, it's like 94%, actually get better within the first 20 minutes.
00:37:37.700I'm a really good shot, and I got much better by using Mantis X.
00:38:50.380The choice seems pretty simple to me because I see Patriot Mobile.
00:38:55.080They've got an action side of them not related to Patriot Mobile that Patriot Mobile donates to to be able to help us elect the right people in school boards and and even, you know, all statewide elections.
00:39:11.680They're not involved in any federal election.
00:52:53.640You can rent a congressman pretty cheap these days.
00:52:56.160So but but somebody one of our one of our followers, like, you know, was really good with video and they were able to, like, kind of close up on it and see the two pilots in the cockpit.
00:53:58.360And also, even if it let's say it was, you know, military, like the last thing I want people doing is going and trying to find out who the pilots were and start harassing them.
00:54:07.060And, you know, I don't want any of that.
00:54:08.480Yeah, no, I and I just said on the air, anybody who is threatening.
00:54:15.520Any government official is a problem and it should it should stop.
00:54:21.040However, you know, standing there in a place like you're at now, I assume you're at our our base camp there by the Harley Davidson dealer.
00:54:30.880Adam Smith, one of the baddest dudes in North Carolina.
00:54:35.520And he has politely told them, go away because we have a system down and it's been working and it's saved a lot of lives.
00:54:47.700And you can go do your thing, but you're not shutting us down.
00:54:52.520There's no problem with saying thank you, but no thank you, as we are the first responders.
00:54:59.420But you cannot take it out on the people.
00:55:02.440Uh, you know, you can't please be kind.
00:55:06.520If you, if you, I'll tell you, Glenn, we just so happened that the week before Helene hit, we had some pre scheduled meetings in D.C.
00:55:14.500And one of those meetings was at FEMA.
00:55:15.900And so they had us up into the incident command center, uh, which is like their war room.
00:55:20.960And, um, and they had just done a level one activation and they were watching Helene and making, talking to all the local emergency managers and making plans.
00:55:28.840And I, I did not meet anybody in the entire building when I was at FEMA that was not a passionate, dedicated person that cares about their job and cares about helping people in trouble.
00:55:42.440So FEMA is as a, as a, as a entity seems like it's, you know, like just another F word.
00:55:48.920And you can say what you want about the leadership of FEMA and the political appointees, but, but the people on the ground and there are people on the ground in North Carolina have been since, since I, I got there.
00:55:58.840Um, but yeah, don't, don't be ugly to those people.
00:56:08.260Um, by the way, I don't know how they can say that they've got this covered as of Monday, yesterday, only 9% of FEMA's personnel or 1200 people were available to respond to the hurricane or other disasters.
00:57:07.020And, you know, what's worse than having, being short people.
00:57:10.300And this is something that was, you know, intimated to me from some, you know, FEMA management people that obviously, uh, won't be named, but it's not just not having enough bodies.
00:57:20.820Glenn, they're more experienced staff or elsewhere.
00:57:26.020And, and so it's like, they have people, but they're kind of fairly new hires still carrying around their employee handbook, trying to figure out what's going on.
00:57:33.520So, uh, they've requested it to their credit.
00:57:36.640These, these people have requested from their higher ups to bring in some of these more senior experienced people.
00:57:44.060And, uh, my, my understanding is that that, that, that hasn't happened yet.
00:57:50.820And every single veteran that is on the ground, uh, I mean, the American people are really good people.
00:57:59.000Um, but we don't have the experience per se that you guys do the veterans and especially special forces guys, you guys sprung into action and set these systems up, uh, like only really military can do.
00:58:13.060You just, you had what you had and you made good with that and you set it up and you organized.
00:58:19.600And I think you made the difference between life and death with a lot of people.
00:58:51.700And I think one of the other things that helped us out as an organization with regards to, you know, local or locals or federal officials trying to stop relief efforts is that we put it out there very early that anybody getting in our way, we're offering an all expense paid free swamp tour back in Louisiana.
00:59:55.200And, uh, we're going to help as many people as you.
00:59:57.480And the good thing about Florida is you, they're, they do such a good job with these hurricanes as a state that usually we're just there for like maybe a few days or a week handling the life-threatening emergency stuff.
01:00:08.740And then the, the, the state comes in and starts running their, their show.
01:00:12.900And, and it's, you know, they take over and they, they, they have a tremendous snapback game.
01:22:26.420And the gentleman that heads up that organization, his name is Troy Burleson, and he has been documenting on his Facebook page all the struggles that they are dealing with.
01:22:35.700They went to a company called, they work with a company called Priscesneas Kidney Care.
01:22:41.900And they went to them and asked if they could help.
01:22:45.240And they said, the lady there said, we don't need your help.
01:22:48.360I asked her if all her staff had been accounted for.
01:29:06.560Not only do they provide great service, but these guys go out of their way.
01:29:12.120I mean, this is their mission, really, to save our Constitution and to save our God-given rights.
01:29:18.340And they do it by giving you a great product, making money, and then donating it to their pack that goes out and works on elections and trying to change the things in your own neighborhood.
01:31:01.700I much would have rather been watching football.
01:31:05.880It was – so, a couple things about it.
01:31:08.360Number one was pitched as a Kamala Harris interview, and it wasn't really that.
01:31:13.300You got some Kamala Harris, a bunch of Tim Walls, and then an excruciatingly long piece about whether the election in Arizona was stolen in 2020.
01:31:53.040They're trying to make Donald Trump look bad.
01:31:54.560A lot of it was, you know, tilted that way, including puff questions to Kamala Harris about, so why do you think Donald Trump didn't want to do this interview?
01:35:04.920And if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.
01:35:19.980And it's not just the social and psychological effects.
01:35:57.300And he still thought that that there's, you know, that the hate speech is banned by the First Amendment and that you can't say fire in a crowded theater.
01:36:06.880Things that anyone who studied this issue know immediately are wrong.
01:36:46.320You know, there's no, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact that kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree.
01:36:56.380And people go and then people self-select where they go for their news or for their information.
01:37:04.340And then you just get into a vicious cycle.
01:37:06.680So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this.
01:37:14.200And, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts, et cetera.
01:37:27.680But, look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation,
01:37:37.520our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.
01:37:45.620Notice they are not talking about who the final arbiter is on mis and disinformation.
01:37:53.060The arbiter that they are asking for is them, that they will alert social media and everyone else.
01:39:11.280It looked to me that as soon as they realized what they were doing, they were pulling away.
01:39:16.320And I've seen more stuff than I can tell you blown over, including one of my soldiers was blown over by an Apache.
01:39:24.740I mean, it actually sent him tumbling.
01:39:25.980Many years ago in Korea, a lieutenant and I were flying a hawk, and we were tactically flying the riverbeds, and it just so happened it was also the vacation season in Korea.
01:39:38.140And the Koreans set up these canopies and easy-ups on the river and float in the water.
01:39:43.980And we were following the riverbed, not going real fast, and I thought I was high enough until I looked out and I saw canopies tumbling and flying every which direction.
01:40:42.380And I actually looked out and saw the Black Hawk, and I don't know if it was a customs or who it was, but after they found out that I was actually at my house and not flying, I got redeemed on that one.
01:40:56.060But, no, if they had wanted to really cause some damage, they would have come in a lot lower.
01:41:05.600And it looked to me like as soon as they realized, oh, crap, you know, we're blowing.
01:41:10.480And it was light stuff from looking at the video.
01:41:15.380So, I really, in my heart of hearts, I don't think it was done on purple.
01:57:50.600Now, let me tell you, let me just read the report from the New York Post.
01:57:57.520Four reputed members of the vicious Venezuelan street gang are now behind bars after a tense eight-hour standoff with cops in Texas following a violent $75,000 jewelry heist.
01:58:14.240Dallas police say the migrant thugs followed the victim into her garage, pistol whipped her, and forced her into the Ellsby Avenue home, where they made off with valuables inside the woman's Gucci bag on September 21st.
01:58:30.620Authorities later rounded up these three gang bangers, but the leader of the crew barricaded himself in a home as Dallas cops and Irving police SWAT team deployed outside.
01:58:45.840It shows who they were, blah, blah, blah.
01:58:49.240Police used surveillance video from the woman's garage and fingerprints from the scene to identify the subjects and to track them down.
01:58:57.580The migrants tied up the victim, threatened to cut off her fingers if she didn't lead them to the pricey jams during the robbery, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:59:35.980It's called Propaganda Wars, and when you read it, I think you're going to understand that I'm speaking to you on multiple levels.
01:59:50.000What this book does is shows you what the problem is, which you know, but more importantly, the last four chapters, it's seven chapters, the last four chapters are all about what do you personally do?
02:00:08.720How do you tell the difference between fact and fiction?
02:00:12.780I'm lucky enough to have a staff to check things.
02:00:21.500I send things in all the time to the staff.
02:01:19.260And your credibility can be lost in an instant with your friends or family.
02:01:25.360And perhaps it has been because many of us have gone to our families and said, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it turned out not to be true.
02:01:35.340Now, the left never recognizes that the things that they told you have a much lower batting average.
02:01:46.520They told us that, no, it was the science, that these things were going to be healthy and it's good and there's nothing wrong with them.
02:01:55.020And you should wear a mask because that's what science says.
02:02:26.200So how do you differentiate between the truth and fiction?
02:02:32.320This is probably the only book I've read from anybody and the only book I've, I think I've read whose goal it is, is to teach you how to do my job.
02:02:51.960It's to teach you how to be a legitimate journalist in your own life.
02:03:15.700You can get it in audio, which, by the way, can be deleted.
02:03:19.460You might want to get it both in audio and in hardback form.
02:03:25.280I believe in paper more than I do in digital, but it's called Propaganda Wars, and it is out in two weeks by this guy who is just unbelievable and me.
02:03:41.940Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
02:03:45.700So Stu gets up every day, boils some chicken, cuts it up, puts some rice in it, you know, some vegetables, and then serves it right to his dog.
02:05:25.280Glenn Beck.com slash PulseCast is a place you can go and refresh, bookmark, and check out the updates to the PulseCast,
02:05:49.180which is basically a summary of all the mainstream media, data nerds, prediction markets, and everything else as far as predicting the election.
