00:03:07.220
and i hope that your christmas was not filled with media i do believe that the media is our enemy
00:03:17.060
we're going to talk about that uh on today's program we sing oh come all ye faithful we sing
00:03:24.380
joy to the world and that's because this is the time where where christians celebrate the birth
00:03:31.640
of christ and even as a child jesus was king from the first breath that he drew he was worthy to be
00:03:43.180
worshipped jesus is 100 percent human and we christians believe he's also 100 percent divine
00:03:50.040
jesus birth was so huge it was so huge of a miracle that it had to be accompanied you know by a whole
00:04:00.180
host of angels what if the shepherds were too busy looking at their social media on their phones
00:04:10.140
to have noticed the heavenly host oh we do that we do that i am a night hiker to the chagrin of my
00:04:19.520
smoking hot wife and my my friends my co-workers my boss i hike at night to sometimes i even hike at night
00:04:25.840
uh in my in my sandals uh in my sandals some would say barefoot i love it especially when there's that
00:04:32.300
full moon and those stars and it's quiet and the shadows and that's pretty much what was going on
00:04:40.920
with those shepherds a couple of thousand years ago but see they weren't out enjoying themselves
00:04:45.980
they were working and their job was to protect the sheep protect the flock from wolves
00:04:53.420
and there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks
00:04:59.880
at night and out of that darkness and out of that that that environment boom
00:05:08.580
the skies lit up i think one of the first things the angel said was fair or not well yeah that was
00:05:16.320
yeah i would have been yeah oh lord running fall over to trip over the sheep now fear not for behold
00:05:25.660
i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be for all the people what a message
00:05:32.160
now if you're up on your jewish tradition if you're up on your bible study you know that the
00:05:40.740
the the the lord had gone silent god had gone silent for over 400 years
00:05:45.560
they were waiting for a messiah but they didn't know how this is going to play out
00:05:51.260
this message i believe the christmas message is so important because those shepherds who are out in
00:06:00.760
the fields those shepherds who are doing their job they was probably probably seen as one of the
00:06:05.180
lowest jobs of that of that society it's not something that you would aspire to
00:06:11.620
sometimes we're in those kind of positions where we're we're doing jobs we don't think it is
00:06:19.960
it's all that important we don't see ourselves as all that special
00:06:23.260
and look what happened the heavens opened up and the angels visited the shepherds
00:06:33.960
they didn't visit the king they didn't seek out the priest the angels visited the shepherds
00:06:41.820
those shepherds probably got lonely and often felt like they were forgotten felt for felt like they
00:06:48.760
were nothing but in the midst of their everyday task god sent a company of angels to tell them
00:06:56.900
the greatest news mankind has ever heard you see i do believe
00:07:10.400
i think that jesus the christ as a baby being born from heaven sent from heaven to earth was an invasion
00:07:18.340
his job was ultimately to take on the sins of the world and be sacrificed for you and me
00:07:25.800
and jesus had enemies even at the at the the rumor of his birth you had king herod
00:08:21.880
we should know that god sees us through our tears
00:08:24.660
we should know that god will reward our faithfulness
00:08:28.220
we should know that our god is a god of suddenness
00:08:52.340
and the lesson i do believe today is that god has an army of angels
00:10:12.880
and it was supposed to be about the meaning of christmas
00:33:26.680
their us-based team at 877-367-7524 Patriot Mobile
00:34:00.900
all the people man this is what we're celebrating
00:34:11.120
Jesus the Christ the angel said fear not and we are
00:34:18.220
living in a time where you know what there's a lot
00:34:21.020
to be afraid of and yet we're told fear not now the
00:34:25.300
angels told the shepherds that because they were
00:34:27.500
watching the sheep in the middle of the night and all
00:34:39.400
serve a mighty God and he is on his throne and do
00:34:45.040
you think God has any concern over like who leads
00:34:47.600
relations do you think he has any say so in that
00:34:51.080
hmm how many of you back in November of 2016 were
00:34:57.120
praying to Jesus Lord please Jesus let Trump become
00:35:02.560
president United States and not Hillary raise your
00:35:05.960
hands unless you're driving okay that one in the
00:35:11.460
because we had known enough we knew enough about the
00:35:16.100
Clintons and how they operated we knew enough about
00:35:18.220
them we knew enough about the corruption we knew enough
00:35:21.000
about the play the pay to play the Clinton Foundation the
00:35:26.940
Haiti fund come on come on I can sit back here and just
00:35:30.640
rattle off stuff we can go all the way back to White
00:35:32.920
Water if you want to we knew that this is just going to
00:35:38.380
be more of the same and that we knew America was going in
00:35:42.460
the wrong direction so we prayed and even though many of us
00:35:47.300
had our questions about President Trump we pulled that
00:35:51.400
lever for Trump we pushed the button for Trump many of us
00:35:56.700
thought that that Trump was just like a a a a New York
00:36:00.480
liberal a lot of folks knew him from television and liked him
00:36:05.960
from television I I didn't I never watched the show I punched
00:36:13.220
that button though I did it with great joy because quite frankly
00:36:20.000
I feared I feared Hillary Clinton I feared that whole apparatus
00:36:25.900
and we didn't even know back then what we know now so much has
00:36:33.840
come to light because of the election of Donald J. Trump so much
00:36:38.500
of the deep state and the corruption in the FBI and the
00:36:42.200
corruption in the D.L.J. has come to light the corruption in
00:36:49.140
the IRS the corruption in our intelligence community has come to
00:36:54.120
light because of the election of Donald J. Trump so it's crazy to
00:37:01.580
me that we would have the editor of Christianity today right in
00:37:06.820
editorial saying that Trump should be removed from office and why
00:37:18.800
yeah we have uh uh the the editor one of the most religious
00:37:29.500
saying that everything that the president has done in his past or
00:37:34.580
done presently is dwarfed by the fact that he lacks
00:37:38.660
character no matter how good this president is no matter what good
00:37:44.500
he's done it's less important than his character flaws
00:37:50.660
seriously seriously so you want to dismiss this president in the light of
00:38:01.440
uh the positive impact his policy has had on millions of people you want to say
00:38:10.320
of things in the past but the policies that he's put forth
00:38:16.800
that have improved the lives of millions well that that has to be summarily dismissed
00:38:25.200
because we're christians and we we value morality
00:38:32.080
it's amazing we could talk about how the president's policies have liberated
00:38:43.360
millions of americans of african descent help them to find work resulting in the
00:38:48.080
lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded is that a moral issue tell me
00:38:55.040
is the fact that we have conservative judges that are being put on the court
00:39:00.000
is that a moral issue how about the fact that the president moved the american embassy to
00:39:06.080
israel's capital city jerusalem he did what other presidents only promised to do is that
00:39:11.920
i'm here to say that the the editor over there at christianity today
00:39:18.480
um is full of hubris and pride and that needs to be checked
00:39:25.520
i think that president trump has been a blessing on this nation
00:39:31.600
i think that you know what he's a man of a yeah he's had some character flaws he's had some issues
00:39:36.720
but they're out there in the open and everybody knows about them we're more concerned about what
00:39:41.520
what he is doing for the nation my name is james t harris sitting in for glenn
00:40:07.040
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program
00:40:12.240
one ninja two ninja three ninjas that's what the little white kid said as three black men were
00:40:24.400
getting out of a car only he wasn't saying ninja he was using the n word i wonder what would happen if
00:40:32.720
cnn or msnbc got a hold of that how would the network news handle that one ninja two ninja
00:40:42.160
three ninjas he was surprised he how how did three ninjas get in such a a little car
00:40:52.000
well i tell you what this took place in the late 1960s and it was very controversial

00:42:56.720
and all that stuff and i really really appreciate it that story i just told you i first heard it when i
00:43:03.440
was working with my father's friends my father was from mississippi and his best friends in milwaukee
00:43:09.200
were all from mississippi even though they didn't know each other in mississippi they come to know
00:43:13.920
each other in milwaukee wisconsin they were part of that second migration of americans of african descent
00:43:20.560
going from the south to the north because of jobs that three-letter word as joe biden said jobs
00:43:28.880
anyway my father and his friends love to go fishing and so uh they did everything as a community they
00:43:39.440
they uh you know grew vegetables they would always share it they would come in uh zach would come in
00:43:45.920
to the house with a big burlap burlap bag of peas and we would have to like shell them chuck them i hated
00:43:50.960
that stuff but yeah they would always do that they would go fishing and they would like split up the mess of
00:43:56.080
fish that's what they did this time they were like about an hour 45 minutes north of the big city
00:44:03.920
and a small town and they were good fishing there and they were getting out their stuff to go fishing
00:44:08.560
when they're a little kid on the side of the road one ninja two ninjas
00:44:16.480
well my father and his friend hurt this and they were kind of stunned by it the third friend
00:44:26.560
and my dad and his friend grabbed him and held on to him like what are you doing it's a child
00:44:33.360
what do you what do you think they're going to do he said i'm gonna you know teach him a lesson no no
00:44:38.800
you're not this is you know remember this is the 1960s this is wisconsin they're out of the big city uh
00:44:47.280
the town that they're in is there's no there's no people of color there and it's the 60s then
00:44:56.240
my father said something that i never ever forgot and i first heard the story as a teenager
00:45:02.240
he said to his friend look that kid doesn't know he's doing anything wrong he doesn't even look scared he
00:45:09.840
just sees uh three ninjas getting out of a car he only knows what he's been taught
00:45:19.200
he was taught this and my father's friend responded okay but then let's go kick his dad's assets
00:45:28.960
and then they all laughed about it and they went fishing
00:45:32.320
i'm hearing about this story like 20 years down the road this took place before i was born
00:45:41.120
but what my father said this was he was taught that child didn't grow up thinking these things
00:45:49.040
we could even say that you know as far as television which i loathe he didn't learn that from television
00:45:54.640
this is something that was passed on by the families
00:46:03.200
and the real shame is this is something that is still passed on by the families
00:46:07.840
but not to the same degree if you were to ask me is america racist oh i'm about to say something
00:46:17.200
very controversial i'm going to upset a lot of people my answer would be it depends
00:46:27.040
racism does exist primarily on cnn msnbc and the democrat party that's where you'll find it
00:46:38.080
if i'm not looking at television i don't know about all of this racial so-called angst if i'm
00:46:50.080
not looking at television i don't know about all of this anti-homophobic whatever
00:46:57.040
when i look at television that's when i see it and then i'm like oh my goodness america we we
00:47:04.000
never got over racism when i see the reverend al sharpton running to some new atrocity
00:47:17.680
it exists on television and it exists in the minds in the hearts of the people who still want to
00:47:26.400
it our culture is not like it was in the 1960s the 1950s the 1940s
00:47:38.640
oprah winfrey is a very rich woman and she's an american of african descent
00:47:44.320
and even though we have athletes who are disgruntled and want to take the knee because of the oppression
00:47:49.920
in our country they're millionaires for the love of god where else can you find that they have the
00:47:59.360
means to fight this oppression but when they go to look for it guess what it's not there
00:48:08.720
can we find an individual who is a bigot oh of course we can
00:48:13.920
but now we've made up new terms like uh uh systemic racism institutional racism why because
00:48:22.480
it's not up in your face anymore because you can pretty much go anywhere you want to
00:48:30.240
because you have full participation in this culture in the society if you want to the problem
00:48:37.600
is a lot of people do not want to the problem is people are afraid they're afraid to embrace the
00:48:48.160
opportunity because they may have to leave behind the very familiar angst it's a cup of sorrows
00:48:57.280
a cup of sorrows that tastes real good and so we we feed it to each other and we feed it to our children
00:49:07.600
if that kid were to say something like that today that same incident would happen oh my gosh
00:49:18.640
i can't even i can't even begin to think you know what we don't have to imagine too much
00:49:24.080
look at what happened to that kid that was wearing the uh the make america great again had the little
00:49:29.280
catholic kid up there in washington dc when the native american got all up in his face look look at what
00:49:37.360
happened look at how he was treated look at how he was destroyed by the media and he didn't do
00:49:49.040
it's almost like it's it's not the content of your character
00:49:57.920
look how hatred now is being defined it's not based on skin color unless you are an american of european descent
00:50:12.720
if that is the case politically it is open season on you and and who's bringing the fire msnbc
00:50:28.400
yeah yeah it's actually white folks who should be out there saying we shall
00:50:35.040
overcome but you know what they're not wearing it they're not wearing it they're not victims
00:50:41.520
we are not victims even though the media is trying to bully you into it i got a great example
00:50:49.440
that we're going to have that for you coming up next here
00:50:53.040
we but but but let me leave you with this fear not
00:51:02.560
where we have all the power that that we need we just need to embrace it
00:51:07.760
and speak truth to the ignorance my name is james t harris
00:51:13.280
sit again for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program
00:51:23.600
if you experience pain on a daily basis i know exactly how you feel it can be debilitating
00:51:29.920
it can control your life the aches are easy to understand when it really hurts to do the basic chores
00:51:35.920
emotionally the effects of pain can be just as dramatic i have spoken to so many people in this
00:51:40.960
audience that has started to take relief factor the change emotionally is as dramatic as the
00:51:46.160
physical relief maybe even more as you might know tanya and i started taking relief factor
00:51:50.000
several months ago after about 10 days subtle changes started to become significant and i've
00:51:54.640
been able to stop taking all prescription pain medications all pain medications entirely and
00:51:59.520
stop the terrible side effects of those awful drugs many on my team here at the blaze are faithful
00:52:04.880
takers of the 100 drug-free relief factor and we have had great success in taking our lives back
00:52:11.120
try it get a three-week quick start package for only 19.95 take it as directed that's less than a
00:52:17.120
dollar per day and if it works on you like it has with me you're going to get your life back
00:52:21.600
my name is james t harris sitting in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program we're having a
00:52:35.440
conversation about identity politics identity politics is something that the democrats have
00:52:40.320
absolutely traded in but i think it now is coming back to bite them in the assets
00:52:43.920
uh it used to be you know if you're a person of color a black american to call african american and
00:52:51.360
then it was the hispanic american and then it was part of the alphabet people the lgbt uh community
00:52:58.400
then and then we sexual preference gender identity uh cross-dresser story time all of these things are
00:53:07.680
supposed to be oh they're a special group and they have special needs and they have special
00:53:13.520
recommendations and they try to put them all together corral them into one strong political
00:53:20.000
group it's not working they try to have them under the umbrella of marxist socialism it's really not
00:53:28.400
working and yet they don't have another card to play all you need to do is look at how the media
00:53:36.960
and how uh the democrat party how the pundits how hollywood has treated president trump he's not a
00:53:42.560
he's not a moral virtue beacon of virtue here no no one claimed that he is
00:53:50.960
but look at how they're trying to destroy him look at how they're going after him look at what
00:53:55.920
they're saying about him the race card that's being played my goodness president trump being a
00:54:03.040
hollywood figure being a tv being a tv star he's hung out with all kinds of people they got pictures with
00:54:09.040
with with president trump and snoop dog for god's sake snoop doggie dog but the moment he put that r
00:54:15.280
behind his name and ran for for presidency he's reviled you used to have rappers sing songs about how they
00:54:25.440
he's racist now and they'll drum up like hoaxes like charlotteville i'm not i'm not diminishing the fact
00:54:34.960
that someone was killed in that conflict but the way the media has spun it is just a lie
00:54:42.320
oh there's good people on both sides it's a lie and anybody can go back and look at the transcripts
00:54:51.120
whether we're talking about impeachment whistleblower why do you need a whistleblower he released the
00:54:55.520
transcripts it's based on lies and the only identity really right now uh that uh that the
00:55:05.440
that the left's putting all their energy into is just being a liberal a leftist to be a part of the
00:55:11.600
resistance opposed to this president and his policies that's why we're seeing all of this
00:55:18.160
craziness when it comes down to the to impeachment and all other kind of stuff and i'm gonna talk about
00:55:22.400
that a little bit but not too much why because american people are tired of it i got the news for
00:55:27.760
you too the american people are tired of identity politics they're tired of being attacked over
00:55:36.720
something they have absolutely nothing to do with you know what right after the president was elected
00:55:44.240
you had van jones on cnn i'll never forget it that's because i i looked at msnbc and and cnn uh next night
00:55:58.800
after president trump became the 45th president united states i watched the meltdown
00:56:05.680
in schadenfreude i i know i was getting i was gleeful i know that's not right that's not right
00:56:11.440
i have not repented of that yet i still go back and i look at the election
00:56:20.160
it's so good but but in that we get a glimpse at uh uh what the left is really concerned about what
00:56:28.400
where they have all of their you know their energy and van jones gave us a snapshot
00:56:34.080
uh yeah this was the first real outburst of trump derangement syndrome van jones said that trump's
00:56:42.320
win was a white lash against the first black president a white lash well you know americans
00:56:51.760
of african descent only make up 14 of the population which means in order for barack obama to be elected
00:57:00.080
white folks had to vote for him okay so it was nonsensical it was an emotional moment it was an
00:57:07.280
emotional uh outburst but it was very very instructive of what the left was headed towards in this nation
00:57:17.920
and now we've gone from the media attacking president trump proper to attacking you and me
00:57:26.800
trump supporters now just so you know i've been lumped in with most of you i am no longer american
00:57:34.400
of african descent no i am as a matter of fact i uh in my great state of arizona i was dubbed by the
00:57:40.640
left a black white supremacist early on i think i may have been one of the first black white supremacist
00:57:48.000
why because i support the president but how does that make me a white supremacist that's black
00:57:56.960
well it does what do you mean it doesn't have to make sense it's emotional it's about the resistance
00:58:06.160
but it is real and if you watch these television shows you'll see that they are now
00:58:12.000
they're now attacking you it's a wonderful progression got an example of this i believe
00:58:23.920
this was on msnbc uh they're going to round table this is on the uh uh joy reed show and they're just
00:58:31.520
talking to these pundits and what's crazy well actually i'll let you hear it first here we go
00:58:36.880
every news cycle in dc starts with a simple premise what are republicans angry about like 30
00:58:42.880
years every day that's what it starts and so if they're angry about impeachment then that's a big
00:58:48.000
deal then they're on the offensive democrats are always on their heels republicans worship the press
00:58:53.680
worships republican hardball and they always see dems as being outmaneuvered the demographics of the
00:58:58.960
media that that the relatability of republicans that they they seem more relatable or they seem like
00:59:04.320
middle america and so the media gravitates toward the republican base first of all it's dangerous to
00:59:10.560
even present this through the lens of politics right right this is not republicans versus democrats
00:59:16.560
this is truth versus lies this is patriotism versus traders this obsession with how did trump you know
00:59:22.240
interviewing uh people at trump rallies to ask how they thought about impeachment uh this obsession and
00:59:27.280
it goes back to the day after he was inaugurated this obsession with interviewing white midwestern trump
00:59:33.280
voters and asking them what they think about trump it is a dangerous it is a racist message because the
00:59:38.480
message is white republicans are who matter in this country
00:59:46.800
that's crazy they're now pointing their uh their media guns at you you are the problem and white
00:59:55.520
conservatism is the problem notice how they have to you know put that uh racialize it white
01:00:02.560
conservatism not conservatism you see because if you're a conservative i'm a conservative we share
01:00:10.480
ideas but the left can't get over their identity politics in order for them to make something bad
01:00:17.840
they say it's white you remember the whole trayvon martin case remember zimmerman who happened to be
01:00:24.240
hispanic no he was a white hispanic no he was a white hispanic now it's white conservatism now it's the
01:00:32.560
white republican party white is the bad here and what's really crazy is the white person saying this about
01:00:40.880
white people what would happen if it's reverse black liberalism boy i gotta say i'm real black liberalism is
01:00:50.640
the bane of this society well i think because if black liberals will just stay home
01:01:00.080
then uh white conservatives we don't talk like this the left talks like this and that is why we have
01:01:11.680
the racial angst once again if you're not looking at the television no none of this stuff really exists
01:01:17.440
now does it my name is james t harris sitting in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program
01:01:32.640

01:01:43.920
numbers can you afford to expand can you make that new hire can you launch a new ad campaign
01:01:48.800
how's revenue pacing compared to last year now most companies don't have a clear picture of their
01:01:53.600
finances so they make business decisions without that critical information based on their gut or

my name is james t harris filling in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program i've been hearing
01:02:52.960
for us from some folks on on twitter facebook and uh they're agreeing with me i i think that if you want to
01:03:00.720
see just how not racist america is cut off the television set that's that's the key that's the
01:03:09.440
first step you can follow me on twitter at james t harris and of course facebook is james t harris media
01:03:15.120
um i i i really believe when i sit down and i watch these shows that i have to do this for a living
01:03:21.520
i have to kind of be informed on what's going on uh but i don't i don't i i i don't spend much time
01:03:28.880
with them and i don't go to the late night shows at all it used to be about comedy it's not anymore
01:03:34.800
the jimmy kimmel's they're all this is how you know everything is politicized and this is how you
01:03:39.600
understand the power of the dark side the power of media when i get into political discussions with
01:03:48.640
people i can tell you where they got their information from i could tell you what network
01:03:53.200
they were listening to it's it's to the point where i can read the stitches on the side on the soft on
01:04:00.240
the fastball actually this is what i do i play softball and fastball you know well i used to anyway
01:04:10.400
it's it's rote it's rehearsed it's talking points and you heard them on a talk show especially
01:04:20.000
conservative talk shows you can you can hear we'll we'll loop them for you we'll play you a montage
01:04:25.840
of all of these media people saying the same thing now i've been accused of that i'm sure
01:04:34.720
conservative talk show hosts have been accused of that but we don't get talking points believe me
01:04:41.600
i think it's because we have similar ideas i just heard from someone on my facebook page saying you
01:04:48.160
know what i've been saying the same thing for years cut off the television set and then then show me
01:04:52.880
where the racism is we are a blessed nation we have come such a long way
01:05:03.360
we are a blessed nation and we have come such a long way how come that is never recognized
01:05:11.280
if you want to weigh in on this conversation just call triple eight seven two seven b e c k
01:05:22.880
triple eight seven two seven b e c k i grew up in milwaukee wisconsin my parents are from mississippi
01:05:32.240
we would make the trip down uh maybe once or twice a year we started uh driving down in the 1960s
01:05:39.280
i remember my dad's rambler i remember his uh deuce in the quarter we would have to roll down the
01:05:45.520
windows yes there were no such things to seatbelts you just rolled around with the turns twists and
01:05:50.800
turns there was no such thing really as interstate highways when we were first starting out
01:05:56.720
and then this whole tradition developed out of this we call it the harris tradition the vacation does
01:06:07.040
vacation starts when you get there and i carried that tradition on you know into my married life
01:06:11.840
grew up and married a beautiful woman three three perfect little children and uh when the first one
01:06:17.440
was born i wanted to take them to mississippi to the ancestral lands to meet the peoples
01:06:23.120
so we jumped in the car the minivan excuse me now we got bucket seats we even have tv sets to
01:06:28.480
entertain the children when i was growing up you had to have your imagination now they got tv sets and
01:06:32.880
yeah built right into the back of the headrest we're driving down to mississippi my wife got tired she
01:06:40.480
said hey let's stop at a hotel i'm like well why because i'm tired we can you know let the kids swim and
01:06:45.600
get some food i'm like no no the vacation does not start till you get there it's harris tradition
01:06:52.560
and my mom happened to be dried down with us like tell her mom tell her about the harris tradition
01:06:58.400
but my mom said next blew my mind she said well son we did it like that because we had to
01:07:06.720
it was the 1960s it was the south we couldn't stay in hotels
01:07:12.480
so what happened once we stopped at a store and the store clerk followed you and your sister around
01:07:17.440
afraid you were going to steal something and i was so upset by that we decided
01:07:21.120
never to expose you to that again so i would pack a big lunch and we would just pack food and put
01:07:25.840
in the cooler and we put in the back of the car and we drive to mississippi and then vacation started
01:07:29.520
when we got there because we couldn't really stop any places
01:07:36.400
remember the time we stopped for a burger i'm like yeah yeah it was the magic trick
01:07:42.080
see dad would play a magic trick close your eyes and then okay open your eyes again he'd be right back
01:07:47.120
with the food how do you do that it's magic no actually my mom had us close our eyes so we didn't
01:07:52.800
have to see my dad walk to the back of the restaurant to order the food and then come back
01:08:01.280
see my parents created this harris tradition to shield my sister and i from overt racism in the south
01:08:08.320
my mom went on to tell me more stories that blew my mind like uh she didn't had never really spoke
01:08:15.760
to any white person when she was growing up in mississippi or maybe a store clerk or somebody
01:08:20.000
putting gas in the car otherwise she had knew knew no one no one who was an american of european descent
01:08:28.160
so all those years of me going to mississippi with my parents my sister we never interacted with
01:08:39.120
americas of european descent i'm driving down the highway and the scales are falling off of my eyes
01:08:47.040
and i'm also realizing because of my parents trying to protect me from all this stuff there were some
01:08:51.440
things that i just did not see or understand about the south they're not necessarily bad i just was
01:09:06.080
i'm tired let's stop at a hotel now what am i going to do am i going to play into the harris tradition
01:09:16.000
am i going to continue out of fear and unfounded fear really a fear of the unknown because
01:09:23.200
we this is the way we always done it even though it was built
01:09:29.680
out of trying to protect us from something that was very harmful my parents didn't want us to grow
01:09:34.640
up with a chip on our shoulder my parents didn't want us to grow up angry but my parents people are in
01:09:41.280
the south so how do they protect their kids from this
01:09:44.320
well i decided to pour out my cup of sorrows and i stopped at a hotel and we had a great time
01:09:52.240
and the kid went swimming we ate and we enjoyed ourselves and we jumped in the car the next day
01:10:01.360
i didn't have to do that though that i could have just held on to that harris tradition
01:10:05.760
that was based out of something that was dark oh this country is amazing and we have come
01:10:15.280
such a long way and i refuse to hold on to that old myth that this is a racist country i'm pouring
01:10:23.920
that out poured it out years ago and some folks are not happy that i've done that some folks are not
01:10:30.960
happy that that's my view some people say that's just you but i okay you could choose to hang on to
01:10:38.240
that if you want it's not like we have not or i haven't run into things it's just that my saying
01:10:44.320
is it's only racist if you want it to be oh my goodness that is so liberating and then the one time
01:10:54.560
when it is racist believe me you'll know it hatred can't be masked that kind of hatred is just so
01:11:00.880
vile you're going to feel it you're going to know it and i guarantee you you're not going to go out
01:11:07.280
and start protesting and marching and singing we shall overcome you're going to confront the
01:11:12.560
ism head-on because it's so shocking to you did you just it's wow
01:11:22.240
our country has its warts we've had our problems but my goodness you still have people
01:11:30.000
flocking here trying to steal their way into this country because it is a it is a paradise compared
01:11:37.920
to other places on this planet and we've dealt with our issues and we continue to
01:11:44.720
pour out that cup of sorrows and embrace the opportunity of a shared history
01:11:51.840
you know we're going to talk about uh i i what no i don't want to talk about impeachment
01:12:00.960

01:14:07.760
you are listening to the glenn bett program my name is james t harris i am sitting in getting some
01:14:14.240
interesting reaction from uh my social media and some folks calling in uh one gentleman dot said
01:14:20.800
what about america's treatment of the of the american indians well very good like i said we have a very
01:14:28.560
complicated history and uh we can already go back to the founding documents and see how the the american
01:14:34.320
people the nations that were here were known were treated as were called savages we can see what
01:14:40.160
happened under president jackson yeah the trail of tears all of that is true we can lump that in
01:14:46.080
right in there with slavery uh we're not still like that though are we we we're not by the grace of god
01:14:53.280
and by the shedding of blood we've come a long way and uh uh uh institutionally individually we don't look
01:15:02.800
down on folks as being savages anymore so i would say that's to my point that's part of our ugly past
01:15:09.760
but it's part of how we're blessed as a nation to be able to move forward to get beyond to even apologize
01:15:15.280
for it oh we have a call here diane where's diane diane in pennsylvania welcome to the glenn
01:15:22.160
beck program beautiful man it's been ages since i heard your voice really because i moved to pennsylvania
01:15:30.080
this is liberty's run diane i knew you in tucson remember i certainly do a wonderful artist ladies
01:15:36.880
and gentlemen but listen to the program and then create art based off of the melodious sounds of my
01:15:43.920
my voice and content that's kind of true kind of true but anyway my my my point i mean you're making
01:15:50.640
the best point i've heard in a long time that the racism is on tv on the mainstream media on the the
01:15:58.320
narrative on and and people who closely followed those sources of so-called news but when you're
01:16:06.640
down and i said this to your um call screener when you're down here in the street with the rest of us
01:16:12.720
we don't have that going on generally i mean there may be some instances here and there you know but
01:16:18.880
they're always isolated they're always usually fueled by somebody who does listen or watch you
01:16:27.840
know those sources and does not pay attention to you know who the person is in front of them and
01:16:34.640
they just kind of you know they got a red hat on or you know all of a sudden you know you're black but
01:16:40.320
now you're a conservative so now you're a white supremacist you know that kind of stuff is just insane
01:16:45.280
and none of us out here even a lot of liberals because i was at christmas with my entire liberal
01:16:51.360
family yesterday they don't say anything but when they talk amongst themselves they group people up
01:17:02.800
you know diane thank you very much for the call it was great to hear from you and your
01:17:06.720
apps she's absolutely right i was talking to another friend uh who happens to be actually a liberal but
01:17:12.640
she was with her liberal friends and she was amazed at how they would group these people over here and
01:17:17.840
group these people over there and they were basically you know she's grouping conservatives
01:17:23.360
that doesn't exist i'm telling you the racisms that you see on the television all these isms they're
01:17:29.520
not out there in flyover country it exists on msnbc see it in and in the democrat party chris in alabama
01:17:38.960
welcome to the glenn beck program hi hi hey james nice um no i was um calling the reference because
01:17:49.040
uh what your story about the uh young men that didn't know better yes young child okay i'm sorry
01:17:57.680
yeah uh i i i thought that was really really spot on because growing up you don't and it's our job as
01:18:04.080
parents to always teach our children um you know to how to you know a break a cycle so to speak
01:18:10.560
and uh and i was telling the story uh to the gentleman uh when i called in when i was growing
01:18:15.520
up i was about the ninth grade and i had a friend of mine and he was black and um went to school with
01:18:21.680
him i mean man he was a great guy loved him to death and um i asked him to spend the night one night
01:18:28.000
he said hey go home and ask your mom if i can spend the night wait till she uh for her answer
01:18:36.080
and don't tell her that i'm blind and then tell me what she says afterwards and i i did and i went home

my name is james t harris sitting in for glenn beck i am a radio talker out of phoenix arizona
01:22:29.040
at news talk 550 k fyi my show is called the conservative circus i am the ringmaster and we've
01:22:37.440
been talking impeachment up the wazoo forever the question is did you get what you wanted for
01:22:45.200
christmas did nancy pelosi get what she wanted for christmas you know even though this is what i do i
01:22:53.680
have to tell you when it came to impeachment i was naive it was my son who was in china at the time who
01:22:59.920
said dad yeah um the democrats impeached president trump but but why then i try to explain to him well for
01:23:06.160
no reason they just don't like him well what are they gonna do with this i'm like well now it goes
01:23:10.720
over to the senate and then they have a trial and then they call witnesses and he goes he said dad
01:23:16.720
they're not gonna send us over to the he's in china that they're not gonna send us over to the
01:23:21.120
senate why why because he's gonna he'll get you know he won't get impeached he's gonna get acquitted
01:23:26.480
and i'm like look son this is the way things are done we have a process here once the president
01:23:33.040
gets impeached the articles of impeachment go over to the senate he's like dad why would they do that
01:23:38.240
because then it's all lost now it's all there's nothing i actually was starting to get upset with
01:23:44.720
my number two my yeah my number two i said all right son i'll look into it
01:23:50.880
he was right nancy pelosi is sitting on the articles and i i am not going to do her send these over
01:24:04.000
until i get guarantees that the senate's going to do x y and z you mean to tell me nancy pelosi was
01:24:11.440
looking for a quid pro quo wow well where does it go from here i don't know because the democrats are
01:24:22.880
busy breaking the rules but what i do know is this well anyway i guess they're trying to pressure some
01:24:29.680
senators that don't cross over and i think murkowski over there from alaska i think she's talking crazy
01:24:34.640
overnight i don't know if i like the way mitch mccann shut shut it lady stop it so we'll see what
01:24:43.840
happens with the uh with the senate or what comes next or what if nancy pelosi has any leverage she
01:24:50.640
doesn't but we'll have to watch this the telephone number is a triple eight seven two seven b e c k
01:24:58.640
let's go to is this uh joseph joseph in texas welcome to the glenn beck program good morning
01:25:07.120
mr harris how are you fantastic hey i can tell by i've been listening to you for a couple hours i
01:25:13.200
usually um i haven't listened to beck for a couple weeks because i've been traveling but my point is
01:25:16.960
this um i could tell you're a man of faith in the way you articulate yourself with some of the phrases
01:25:21.920
you use i look at it like this we all know us common folk and i'm just a middle class type of guy
01:25:27.360
work in the oil field etc etc i mean i it reminds me of psalm one and psalm two they're trying to set
01:25:34.400
a trap for donald trump and all us deplorables etc that are conservatives and believe in fiscal
01:25:40.160
responsibilities etc they're going to fall into their own trap and fall on their own sword
01:25:45.120
it just reminds me of those that think evil is good and good is evil they're destroying themselves i
01:25:50.800
believe that they're so confused because they don't practice civility they they're absolute hypocrites in
01:25:56.640
my opinion i know i'm not the only one in texas that thinks this way i appreciate everything you
01:26:01.600
guys do i just thought that i just pray for the administration i don't care what donald trump did
01:26:06.800
10 years ago or anything of that yes go ahead sir we pray we pray for uh on the conservative circus
01:26:13.360
the last segment on fridays we pray to jesus on behalf of the president of the united states his
01:26:20.800
administration his family who have been under withering attack and i'm like you and many others
01:26:27.200
people will try to look at morality or virtues or character and all this kind of stuff i i don't know
01:26:32.320
about all that all i know is this i think that president trump is not necessarily a man after god
01:26:37.840
but he's god's man and he's been doing things that have been absolutely tremendous for this country and
01:26:42.720
there have been millions of people who have been lifted out of poverty because of his common sense uh
01:26:49.760
initiatives and and like you i agree i used to have psalms one memorized but it was a blessed is the one
01:26:56.880
who does not walk in the step with the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or take a seat in the
01:27:02.800
company of markers but who delight who delight is in the law of the lord and they meditated on it day and
01:27:10.880
night well yeah and people who do that joseph uh they look at all of the buffoonery and the silly
01:27:17.600
silliness and the straight out evil that's pouring out of that tv set from our so-called news media
01:27:24.480
and we move closer to president trump hey yeah yes exactly thank you very much for the call
01:27:32.560
yeah what else are we gonna do i mean i'm not going to be fearful
01:27:40.880
because i mean we just celebrated the birth of jesus christ jesus the christ the king
01:27:48.640
and the angels told the the shepherds that fear not i bring you great tidings of joy
01:27:56.480
so we have the wonderful opportunity to fight on behalf of our liberties but we can count on
01:28:06.800
a higher power we don't have to pull out our guns and start shooting

01:29:15.360
talking about is on the first segment we opened up we talked about um we talked about the uh christmas
01:29:23.680
we talked about how how network television you know the media it's all aligned against us
01:29:32.080
it's all aligned against christianity is there a war but a little over 50 years ago on the charlie
01:29:38.640
brown special uh we had charles schultz who's the creator of the artist said we got to make this about
01:29:44.320
something we have to make this mean something so they made it about christmas and they talked about
01:29:48.400
uh luke they they quoted luke the the announcement and it still has an impact to this day
01:30:00.800
roger in pennsylvania is waiting to get on the glenn beck program hey james how you doing fantastic
01:30:09.680
hey uh when you were talking about uh about liberals grouping people together it brought to mind a story
01:30:17.360
that i i i experienced back in 2016 during the safety pin era and uh what happened was i yeah you
01:30:27.920
remember after um trump was elected all these uh liberal people were walking around with safety pins
01:30:34.160
on their lapel so that people would know so that people of color and of different faiths would know
01:30:40.800
that they were safe to be around you know what i had forgotten about that
01:30:50.000
they were human safe spaces yeah okay yeah exactly and and what wound up happening was at the time
01:30:57.200
i was taking an online online uh master's course and what it what it was is one of these courses that
01:31:05.200
they actually had a physical class going and you could zoom into it and uh and so what happened was
01:31:12.240
after the election was the first session after the election all these white liberal folks were coming
01:31:18.960
in with safety pins on well the actual class was in philadelphia so there was a lot of african americans
01:31:27.280
who were attending as well and what wound up happening is somebody asked you know these people what's
01:31:33.440
this with the safety pins and they explained to them that because of trump's election that these were to
01:31:40.960
let people of color know that they were safe people to be around right and the african americans in the class
01:31:50.320
just were totally incensed because they felt that they were being so talked down to that we need we
01:31:58.960
need to seek out a person with a safety pin to feel safe this is how liberals uh think of americas
01:32:06.560
of african descent this is what that story right there and thank you very much for sharing it speaks volumes
01:32:15.520
about the left and how they think of uh americans of african descent of people of color in general it's it's it's
01:32:22.400
indicative of a wider issue it goes even goes back to and thank you very much for the call i appreciate
01:32:29.840
you uh it goes back to an experience that i had another story story time and as a high school
01:32:38.960
teacher uh my students demanded that i tell them stories that's they were trying to divert me away
01:32:44.160
from giving the lesson i was a high school teacher for 10 years and then i was a speaker before i got into
01:32:49.120
radio but i would weave the lessons into the stories that i was telling so that the uh the children you
01:32:56.480
know who i fooled them into learning uh and to be able to get into that position though i had to swallow
01:33:03.200
a big fat pill and that pill was the concept that i was an affirmative action hire because i was the first
01:33:12.560
american of african descent school teacher in that school and the conversation that i had with the
01:33:20.320
superintendent of schools who hired me was pretty amazing and i want to share that with you up next
01:33:28.880
my name is james t harris sitting in for for mr beck this is the glenn beck program
01:33:35.120
you know there's a saying in business if you don't know your numbers you don't know your business
01:33:44.080
and now the rapid pace of business it's hard to keep up with those numbers can you afford to expand
01:33:49.920
can you make that new hire can you launch a new ad campaign how's revenue pacing compared to last
01:33:55.520
year now most companies don't have a clear picture of their finances so they make business decisions
01:33:59.680
without that critical information based on their gut or worse their fear and that's why many

my name is james c harris sitting in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program when i was a young
01:34:51.840
man i wanted to travel just loved traveling and all we would do is go back and forth to mississippi
01:34:56.640
but i would use my imagination i was like speed racer in the mach 5 and we were we were driving
01:35:02.240
all over the world that's how i used my imagination well we didn't have games we didn't have the you know
01:35:06.240
the tv set in the back of the headrest i'm still bitter about that but still so as i grew older i had
01:35:12.960
the opportunity to to travel and i did i studied overseas i studied in england for a year i went across
01:35:20.400
europe eastern europe when it was still eastern europe i just dated myself i remember when the
01:35:27.120
wall came down it was a year after my my uh one of my trips i had the opportunity to travel through
01:35:33.440
india and the middle east by the time i got to the middle east i took my sons along i was really into
01:35:39.920
traveling it's just an amazing thing because you learn by seeing you learn by doing it then you can go
01:35:47.200
back and read about it or you can read about it first and go back and do it my son has carried
01:35:51.280
on a tradition he's he's a traveler in the family uh right my baby girl wants to but she's baby girl
01:35:57.360
who's not gonna let her go why no babe girl no my son's married so he doesn't have to worry about that
01:36:03.760
he's not going anywhere actually they do travel traveling this really really opened up a whole new
01:36:09.440
world to me and when i was a high school teacher i had done a decent amount of traveling so that opened
01:36:22.480
i heard about this job when i was in chicago but the job was in wisconsin brown deer milwaukee and so
01:36:28.560
i overheard these administrators talking about an open position so i strategically went to the place
01:36:36.240
walked in and dropped an application it didn't take very long um as an american of african descent
01:36:44.960
as a high school teacher we're a commodity there's not too many of us so you're gonna try to scoop
01:36:51.360
my my uh transcripts were fantastic they had the travel experience on it they put me through a test
01:36:57.760
called the perceiver the perceiver test it's a long test and i apparently i did very very well on it
01:37:04.960
so the superintendent he didn't screw around at all he offered me a contract on the second meeting
01:37:12.400
i don't even think i filled out an application because i don't know if i should have shared that
01:37:18.000
but yeah so he hired me i was excited and then he closed the office door he said i want to talk to you
01:37:25.600
about something to sit down and he said um you're going to be up against something because people
01:37:31.760
are going to think that you got this job solely because you're black
01:37:38.400
i said why am i going to think that why would they think that
01:37:41.520
well because you're the only black teacher in the school now welcome aboard
01:37:47.280
and i'm like well why are you telling me this he said i'm telling you this because you did not get
01:37:51.360
this job because you're black you got this job because you're qualified immensely qualified surprisingly
01:38:00.000
qualified so whenever you get that vibe where somebody is stupid enough to say that to your face
01:38:07.440
i just want you to understand that this is the culture
01:38:13.600
well i i uh thanked him for his candor and it didn't take very long before that
01:38:21.040
that was exactly what i experienced but that's not something i was new at because when i was
01:38:25.840
student teaching i taught in a little town called west bend and i was the first black person in the
01:38:31.440
school period it was two schools put together thousands of kids and they were not shy while i was
01:38:39.040
interviewing and you know the bell rang and they were passing classes one kill kid yelled out hey ninja
01:38:45.760
you know the n-word and the guy i was interviewing with i know he heard it i knew he heard it but he
01:38:53.840
didn't say anything we continued to tour then we sat down for the formal interview part and he said you
01:39:00.480
know what i got to tell you something i just want you to know i heard that and if you would have told
01:39:05.040
me before this that i would ever hear anything like that here i wouldn't believe it now i have to face
01:39:09.600
the fact that we got a culture issue here i just want you to know that i heard it he didn't apologize
01:39:17.840
he didn't grovel he just acknowledged that it existed and in that moment i knew this is where
01:39:25.680
i want to work and i want that kid in my class because that's learned behavior
01:39:30.480
that half a year i was in that school was profound and i still hear from some of those students
01:39:46.720
that was a little while ago what i'm trying to tell you good people is this we live in a fantastic
01:39:54.160
country and yes we have our warts we have our we have our isms but it's only racist if you want it to
01:40:03.360
be and even when it is racist you have more control over the situation than you think just a little bit
01:40:13.680
of a diversion there because of a a wonderful telephone call into the glenn beck program when we return
01:40:22.160
i just want to give you a reason why i think that we are not experiencing a coup
01:40:29.200
with this impeachment drive and now they're talking about doing more impeachment
01:40:34.800
uh the resistance movement not only among the left and the the media and uh half of the establishment
01:40:42.800
republican party what we're watching here is a cold civil war and things are not going to improve
01:40:56.480
until we recognize what we are up against and we engage it on that level
01:41:04.400
my name is james t harris i am a conservative radio talker out of phoenix arizona this is the glenn beck
01:41:16.080
you're listening to glenn beck all right i want to tell you what i'm getting my wife for christmas
01:41:33.920
because she sent me an email and if you don't believe what i say is true when i tell you about
01:41:39.360
the commercials ask my wife about all of the stuff that we use that you hear me talk about and with x
01:41:45.280
chair i have an x chair i have one in the studio i have one in my office and my wife sent me an email
01:41:50.160

01:41:56.480
at night and she says you know they're a hundred dollars off i'm like i know honey i read the
01:42:01.840
commercials every day so don't believe me my wife does the best chair i've ever sat in and she sits

01:42:40.400
my name is james t harris and i am sitting in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program
01:42:47.280
one of the things that i love as a teacher is uh we teach these battles and we would teach i would
01:42:52.880
try to share show the students that we have a shared history we talk about the civil war a lot
01:42:57.600
of folks think it was fought over slavery it didn't start out that way but it ended up that way there are
01:43:04.080
lots of lessons that we can learn in our shared history by the time we work ourselves up to what's
01:43:12.080
happening uh with you well actually we never got ourselves up to the present but most history
01:43:16.880
teachers don't tell you the truth about the whole situation you make it up to world war ii maybe korea
01:43:21.760
war then it's over that's generally how it goes but with the civil war so many lessons and i think they're
01:43:31.760
they're starting to be repeated the telephone number if you want to weigh in triple eight seven
01:43:38.560
two seven b e c k we've been told that what we've experienced is a coup a soft coup i used to say
01:43:47.840
that was a soft coup a silent coup but what is it what does the word coup mean well you look it up
01:43:57.520
it's a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics
01:44:04.160
but uh what we're watching there's nothing sudden about it this is premeditated we need to ask the
01:44:11.840
question what would a modern civil war look like would tanks be rolling down the street in washington dc
01:44:17.040
would missiles be targeted at congress will we have armed forces storming the white house or the
01:44:31.600
when you consider the fact that this is a civil war
01:44:36.640
we've got something going else going on i think a civil war today would look like treason
01:44:43.840
when a group no matter how large or small decides it wants to step beyond the constitutional
01:44:49.600
means for changing the government and changing it to fit their own ideas of government and superimpose
01:44:56.640
those ideas on everybody else well we have a true conflict
01:45:04.720
if that conflict cannot be resolved to their satisfaction
01:45:08.960
and they decide to overthrow it and replace it with their own views or ideas we have a war
01:45:18.560
and we have those circumstances playing out right now right in front of our face
01:45:26.320
we can define a civil war as a conflict or a competition uh between political factions or or regions of a country
01:45:33.600
where you have one region trying to take over governance without due process
01:45:46.960
if you look into their actions is there any doubt of what they were trying to do
01:45:52.640
we've got bureaucrats who are trying to overthrow the duly elected government and replace it with their own
01:46:07.280
they're trying to reshape it into the what government should look like
01:46:14.880
and they're relentless they're not going to stop
01:46:18.720
what we're seeing with mr trump is is a gettysburg a bloody battlefield but just another battlefield
01:46:29.600
it's not a coup and it's not soft and it's not silent
01:46:34.640
and if we don't see this as war we're gonna lose
01:46:42.480
it doesn't matter what you think about president trump he was elected
01:46:46.320
it should have been a peaceful transfer of power it has not been
01:46:53.440
the very people who ridicule president trump say well will you accept the uh the results of this
01:46:58.960
election well i'll have to wait and see how it turns out oh oh now you have hillary clinton
01:47:07.360
you have uh uh members of the obama administration former uh administration you've got cnn you've got
01:47:20.080
abc cbs nbc pbs msnbc and half of fox all aligned
01:47:29.440
to remove this man from from power based on what based on the fact that they don't like him
01:47:40.160
now it's actually more serious than that based on the fact that this man is fundamentally changing
01:47:46.720
our country he's he for someone who's supposed to be a renegade he really is very constitutional and he
01:47:52.720
is putting constitutionalists on the court and that is what really has them freaked out you saw how the
01:48:06.320
if ruth bader ginsburg god bless her if jesus calls her home katie bar the door
01:48:14.960
lord it's about the courts it's about uh the fact that this president has come in and demonstrated
01:48:24.800
to the establishment that you can do these things and it doesn't take 50 years to get them done
01:48:31.120
he's demonstrated how easy it is if you believe in what you're doing and for that
01:48:39.120
or if you believe in what you're doing and you have the support of the american people
01:48:42.560
he's done this what with none of the democrats and like a third two-thirds of the republicans
01:48:54.000
we need to understand that there is a civil war going on we can see it and how people you know are
01:49:00.480
afraid to wear the red hat afraid to speak in favor of this president
01:49:10.000
it is a civil war but i do believe we're going to win because we've got truth
01:49:19.360
justice and that it is american way oh i just made a little superman thing didn't i uh
01:49:23.600
we have ernie where's ernie ernie and georgia welcome to the glenn beck program hey mr harris
01:49:31.680
thank you very much i thank you very much for your commentary too i can see very well you're a
01:49:37.440
historian too and i just want to share a couple of items that i think can influence the perceptions
01:49:46.800
of our nation um and that is with james armistead at yorktown who was the 007 spy
01:49:57.520
that brought the intelligence to lafayette marquis de lafayette who was the ally from france
01:50:03.120
who passed it on to george washington in order we could be timed properly to um get the victory
01:50:10.960
at yorktown against the british in 1781 you don't hear that while it's shared that's the fact that's
01:50:20.480
no spin or what happened and not only that but then bonker hill we got outstanding patriots
01:50:32.000
peter salem salempore who happened to be black they saved the day but where do you read that in
01:50:40.000
commentary you're bringing up so ernie excellent points excellent excellent examples of our shared
01:50:53.600
i think we lost ernie that would promote unity if you got that publicized
01:50:58.080
frequent enough that would bring the unity well you know what and thank you very much for the call
01:51:03.680
ernie i agree with you it would promote unity i do believe that we understood our shared history
01:51:09.200
it it would it would give people pause one of the things that i like to do on memorial day is talk
01:51:14.720
about you know the or the origins of memorial day because a lot of americans don't realize that that
01:51:20.400
was started in the south by former slaves by freed slaves who dug up uh confederate i'm sorry dug up
01:51:29.440
union bodies that were like thrown into a mass grave and then reburied them and then had a huge ceremony
01:51:37.360
which included preaching and children and white roses and they turned the old track this is the
01:51:46.080
old racetrack that was destroyed during the war they used that as the burial ground
01:51:51.520
and it started a tradition but when you had some northerners uh uh journalists found out about it
01:51:58.480
you know because it was it appeared in the new york times i do believe they buried it
01:52:02.320
and they started a different tradition so you had two different memorial days going on
01:52:08.080
for a long time one for the north and one for the south
01:52:13.200
and it didn't come together until the researcher
01:52:16.080
uncovered or uncovered this like about 15 20 years ago and so every memorial day i share this because we
01:52:27.280
yes we have racial angst yes we have isms yes we've had problems as people come from all over
01:52:38.560
but we found a way to work it out we found a way it is only recently i have to tell you honestly that all
01:52:46.160
this stuff has been brought up brought back and just just just
01:52:56.160
it always amuses me it amuses me when i see the left uh complain about who they are think are white
01:53:03.920
supremacists and ignore the exact same sentiment on the other side my name is james t harris sitting
01:53:11.280
in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program you're listening to glenn beck
01:53:23.040
it's time to get back into gold because there's a reset coming and maybe you should do your own
01:53:28.800
homework and consider gold or silver one eight six six gold line is the number i would call you might
01:53:35.360
want to spit yourself out of the system and the way to do that is to have something in hard gold or
01:53:42.160
silver now you might think you're not able to afford gold that's not true i asked them specifically
01:53:47.920
and i think they're the only ones that do this specifically to do an accumulation special now this
01:53:52.800
is not you getting in debt this is you doing it's like a layaway a hundred dollars a month and you send
01:53:58.640
a hundred dollars a month and they just keep building your gold portfolio nobody else does that
01:54:04.000
accumulation special get started for as low as a hundred dollars a month please find out if gold
01:54:09.120
or silver is right for you please batten down the hatches one eight six six gold line one eight six six
01:54:15.360
gold line get started for as little as a hundred dollars a month one eight six six gold line or goldline.com
01:54:22.720
my name is james t harris we're sitting in for glenn beck this is the glenn beck program uh i have to
01:54:38.080
tell you that as much as i don't want to talk about it we didn't really get into it that much today but
01:54:44.160
we're going to get into it tomorrow we're gonna take a couple of deep dives with a whole impeachment uh
01:54:49.200
a dive oh yes i will be filling in for glenn beck again tomorrow i'm sorry i forgot to tell you that
01:54:54.400
and we're going to take a deep dive into fisa i'm going to take a deep dive into impeachment and just
01:55:00.240
how i mean really down the rabbit hole this stuff goes we're also going to talk about space force
01:55:05.600
which is something that is ridiculed on both sides of the aisle but you know what space force it's
01:55:10.960
really kind of cool what the president is trying to do and what he's trying to combat
01:55:15.600
what if the senate held an impeachment and nobody came that's where we're going to go tomorrow
01:55:22.480
because it's just too much it's too much fun we're also going to talk about how the democrats i don't
01:55:27.520
know if you notice this the democrats are having like a one-night stand with the founders
01:55:31.920
the democrats they'll start quoting the constitution they'll start quoting talking about the founding
01:55:37.440
fathers waxing poetic these are the very same democrats that want to get rid of the electoral college
01:55:42.720
but they're all about impeachment they won't tell you that really treason is the only thing you can
01:55:48.880
really go after here they won't do that they hand over empty articles because they they're based on
01:55:56.000
based on well nothing and they know it but that's the extent uh i should say that's where we are in this
01:56:02.880
country right now uh with politics we have one party that truly could not accept the fact
01:56:12.000
that president trump won that's what it comes down to that's what we're watching that's what we're
01:56:20.400
battling and unfortunately there are no guarantees of how this thing is going to turn out that is why
01:56:30.640
it's very important for us to understand where we're getting our information from to speak truth
01:56:36.720
to power to speak truth to ignorance and to do it with love in our heart tis the season and we could just
01:56:46.720
take a page from our lord and savior whose birthday we worshiped yesterday oh my goodness people hated him
01:56:53.680
and why did they hate him well because he sort of overturned the the card didn't he he did not support the
01:57:03.760
not at all his teachings uh uh challenge the establishment to the point where they started
01:57:14.560
breathing murderous threats against him james c harris are you trying to say that president trump
01:57:22.480
is like jesus no i'm not trying to say that but what i'm trying to say is hate is not very imaginative
01:57:31.520
it's not imaginative at all and it's easy to spot and it's disturbing when you encounter it when you
01:57:40.560
encounter true hate it's disturbing i don't care what your ethnicity is i don't care how you identify
01:57:49.600
gender wise when you are confronted with hate there's no mistaking it and that's what we're seeing
01:57:59.360
oh and jesus taught us how to confront hate too didn't he
01:58:02.400
and far too many of us hold on to it and we let it define who we are we can't do that i would like to
01:58:12.960
invite uh americans to pour out cups of sorrow i would invite invite americans to not not let past hurt
01:58:23.120
and not let past isms define them oh i pretty much can guarantee i'm going to hear from people
01:58:33.360
who are i consider haters i've already started to hear from them and your comments are welcome
01:58:41.360
