Glenn Beck fills in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Radio Program with guest host Jason Whitlock. They discuss the feminization of America, the elimination of resistance, and the softening of America and why we need more of it.
01:17:54.720questions Donovan Mitchell about anything
01:17:59.080that's a microaggression it's racism it's
01:18:02.880draining on Donovan Mitchell and oh black
01:18:06.980kids got bullied because of their skin color
01:18:09.200in Utah according to Donovan Mitchell I was
01:18:12.440he at these schools or during basketball or
01:18:15.080is this is he seeing this at NBA games I'm
01:18:17.200not saying it doesn't happen but but he
01:18:20.280now lives in Cleveland and this again where
01:18:24.180I say I don't care about his feelings let's
01:18:27.900deal with facts let's deal with facts I can
01:18:37.340guarantee you the murder rate for young black
01:18:43.160boys in Cleveland the murder rate I'm not
01:18:46.680talk the sheer number of black men murdered in
01:18:49.560Cleveland versus Utah we know that that
01:18:53.000number will weigh heavily in favor of Cleveland
01:18:55.480because there's more black people but just the
01:18:58.960the fear of being murdered for black men far higher than black
01:19:09.400men living in Utah is that draining does Donovan Mitchell feel that pain does that hurt it him is he hurt by that is that draining at all do you think black kids in Cleveland you think they don't get bullied does that hurt him
01:19:28.960black kids in Cleveland they don't commit suicide does that hurt him this is silly what he's talking about and oh my god he got pulled over in Utah did anyone ask for what were you speeding I've gotten pulled over in most states I've ever driven in I was speeding 99.9% of the time I was speeding in the
01:20:04.720But there's a way to handle them and they go away frustrated.
01:20:13.280There's no. Oh, I wonder. Trust me, if they were getting killed, if black kids were getting killed in Utah for speeding, getting pulled over, that would be major news.
01:20:23.280So Donovan, just assume nothing happens to him because if something did, it would be in the paper.
01:20:31.920But it is far less safe for a young black person in Cleveland than it is in Utah.
01:20:41.960But no one's going to ask Donovan Mitchell that question, make him defend his statements.
01:20:48.280They're not going to give him the resistance he needs to become stronger.
01:20:53.280They're just going to let him make general comments about the state of Utah and talk about how much how much better things are in Cleveland.
01:23:20.520Christianity also, which I believe there's a higher being, but everything that I've been taught, and I was very religious, and I'm 64, and everything that I've ever been taught, all right, I have never found anything to deal with.
01:23:42.160Since we've been around realistically before Christianity even started, we've, uh, it's never, there's not one place where you can find in the Bible, New Testament, Old Testament, the Torah, all right, that addresses us.
01:24:04.940And if, uh, God made a mistake, I think he would have put it in there, all right, or had his people put it in there anywhere about that.
01:24:20.100So, one, yes, I was born a man, I feel like a woman, right, and feelings, you know, I knew since age 11 that I'd rather have been born a woman.
01:24:37.140But also, the aspect of, you know, when we start out in life, we all start out as a female fetus, and then the chromosomes take over and change us to who we're going to be, male, or biologically male or female.
01:24:58.180So, with that being said, I can say, with being in therapy for five years, all right, I'm doing exactly what I need to do for me.
01:25:11.800I also don't really like being part of the, uh, LGBTQT Association.
01:25:25.960The gays and lesbians, they don't understand us just as well as the rest of society.
01:25:32.440We've been, uh, if you go back to 19, I think it was 1952, there was a documentary put out, and about transgenders, even back then, and it's stated that we start out with these feelings, and how we want to be, all right, when we're children.
01:25:58.420So, Denise, can I jump in here and ask a couple of questions?
01:26:02.440So, my argument is, not that you don't have those feelings, my argument is that we can't build a society based around feelings, that I can't have a world that's run on feelings, and all the laws are set up to match everyone's feelings.
01:26:30.380And so, I also, go ahead, I'm sorry, go ahead.
01:26:34.500I just want to interject, isn't religion based on feelings?
01:28:01.700You know, our two-spirit as the American Indian referred to us, as now, they, that's their new terminology.
01:28:09.700Denise, I want, I want to hop in one more time and ask you to stick around through the break, because there's a couple of more questions I'd like to ask you.
01:29:29.780A lot of times, a lot of times, transgenders would become healers or spiritual people because they understood both sides of the man, woman.
01:29:42.840And so my question was, and I don't think you believe this, but I just want to know, you don't believe that transgender people should be revered, do you?
01:29:54.220No, I think, well, we tend to, the one thing that I do go along with is we tend to, you know, we can understand more both sides of the man, woman.
01:30:12.800Got you, but I don't, there's no man, woman, or human being that I want to revere.
01:30:25.600I think idolatry is a problem, and I think that part of what we've gone into as it relates to the LGBTQ movement
01:30:33.220and this whole diversity, inclusion, and equity thing is like, there are these subsets of people, oh, if you're gay, you should be revered and given a special level of reverence for your opinion.
01:30:47.460Oh, if you're black, there's a special reverence for your opinion if you're X, Y, and Z.
01:30:52.700And so that mentality of, hey, I deserve a special level of reverence and respect, I think is problematic, and I'm not just laying that on transgenders.
01:31:06.040I'm saying, I see it across the board.
01:31:10.520You know, I want to, I appreciate everything that you have to say.
01:31:16.760I was watching one thing with Morgan Freeman, and he was being interviewed, and Morgan Freeman was asked, hey, what are you doing for Black History Month?
01:31:33.100I'm not going to go through the whole thing.
01:31:34.980But he said, as soon as we can just look at each other as humans, not black, not white, not Morgan Freeman, the black actor, just I'm Morgan Freeman, right?
01:31:52.060And I totally respect that, and I believe that's what you sort of drive towards.
01:31:57.440Yeah, and so the other aspect or question I want to ask, and I know that part of your difference would be that you would argue like, hey, I was born this way.
01:32:13.320But for a society to function properly, I just don't know if we can cater to tiny, small subsets of the population.
01:32:29.140And so, and again, I know the difference of you feeling like you were born this way, and I'm not even disagreeing with that.
01:32:37.260I'm just saying that me as a fat person, I'm watching people try to move the curve on that and say, oh, well, you know, we're fat shaming, and society needs to change up things to make it more accommodating for fat people.
01:33:00.820I think that society has to make rules that are fair to the overwhelming majority of people, and those of us with a certain set of challenges, obstacles, issues, we have to deal with what's best for the overall society.
01:33:26.860So I would never say to Southwest Airlines, hey, you need to build wider seats.
01:33:34.080I would say to myself, and I have said to myself, no, Jason, you need to lose weight.
01:33:39.180You need to conform and deal with whatever challenges there are.
01:33:44.940And people are born with a lot of different challenges.
01:33:48.580Some people are born without a hand or missing fingers or maybe blind.
01:33:53.600There are a set of challenges that the world will give, God will give to people, and we can't then change up all the rules because there's a small number of people that are born blind.
01:34:11.680There's a small number of people that are born with type 1 diabetes.
01:34:15.520There's just challenges that we're all given.
01:34:19.780It's not that I'm unsympathetic to your challenge.
01:34:24.300I'm sympathetic towards my challenge of being overweight, and I'm sympathetic to people that are born with diseases or maladies or deformities.
01:34:36.200But in order for a society to operate properly, we have to make rules that work for the most people.
01:34:48.240And if we start trying to segment things out, it's to, hey, we've got to make it perfect for Rachel Levine and Sam Britton.
01:35:02.680I don't believe that there's, in our lifetime, there's not going to be, you know, room for that.
01:35:13.460But I hope that in the future, all right, that people can be more courteous and understanding of other people's plights.
01:35:28.240It doesn't mean that when, okay, here's an example.
01:35:32.860So if somebody comes to me and they go, sir, you know, and they only do it, you know, once, because I don't pass at all, all right, I go, well, I prefer, ma'am, you know, if they keep on calling me sir, because, you know, there's a certain level where you understand that they're doing it to annoy you, all right?
01:35:59.160And I just go, hey, I prefer being called ma'am, but if you don't want to do that, I would like to ask you to address me by my first name or not to address gender whatsoever.
01:36:12.720I said, because they got up to the point of annoying me.
01:36:18.180And I know that was their point, so I just bring up my point.
01:36:22.600I don't want to force anybody to call me ma'am, right?
01:36:27.920But at the same token, if I'm not an address and everything, they don't have to address gender whatsoever, right?
01:36:37.240And that's more what I strive for is just courtesy.
01:36:42.180And I get that, and I've had people that, like, you have named yourself, call yourself Denise, and I'm going to be very respectful of that.
01:36:58.860We have a right to give ourselves names, parents give us names, we give ourselves names, and I feel like we have a right to respect that.
01:37:08.760I would probably tend to land on, I'm going to consider you a man, but again, you're right.
01:40:20.020I wanted to go off on Corinne Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, and her comments about January 6th being the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War.
01:40:37.880I'm very disappointed with myself that I didn't get there.
01:40:41.140Hey, I want to tell you guys how you can give me some feedback.
01:40:43.400You can go to Twitter, at Whitlock Jason, at Whitlock Jason.
01:40:49.280I want you to do the same thing we did yesterday.
01:40:53.200I want you to copy, at Elon Musk, and tell him, hey, man, I just spent the last two days listening to Jason Whitlock fill in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck radio program, and Jason Whitlock should be running Twitter.
