On today's show, Glenn Beck explains why Donald Trump is not an isolationist, and why he's actually the opposite of isolationist. Glenn also talks about the latest in the Ukraine crisis and why we should be worried about it.
00:08:03.860Anyway, so let me talk to you a little bit about America First and what America First really means.
00:08:11.320I have always said that we have to protect our borders and stop letting people in because if we don't, we're going to end up like California.
00:10:29.720We were tired of being lied to because, remember, it was we were lied to about Iraq and, you know, the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein had, etc., etc.
00:10:38.820We were tired of the cabal running everything.
00:10:42.100And so Barack Obama says, hope and change.
00:13:00.080And global warming, all that was, was again about more money and more power.
00:13:05.080ESG, the Great Reset, the COVID cover-up, the U.S. labs that were involved in this, and Fauci coming out and saying, that's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:16.000And all of the media saying it's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:19.020Because all of their sources in the government, which we now know were liars, they were telling them, no, no, no, that's a conspiracy theory.
00:13:28.460They cared more about their plan than they did about humans, not just Americans, humans.
00:13:36.880Now we have the immigration problem on our streets.
00:15:10.780Because it's decaying and rotting everything.
00:15:13.380You know, when Gavin Newsom said this week that it was Donald Trump's fault because back in 2016, he let that, you know, he let that immigrant in.
00:15:23.680Well, yeah, in 2020, he was supposed to leave and he never did.
00:16:38.960Do you think if I walked into Maryland and Baltimore and I was caught with a gun, do you think I would be in prison or here behind the microphone today?
00:18:20.920Just like your uncle, just like your dad, just like a friend that you know, he's speaking the language of the average person because he's recognizing, look what's happening in Washington, D.C.
00:18:33.580He's recognizing that crime on the street is not just about crime.
00:18:38.320And it's certainly not about putting black people in jail.
00:18:42.520Who are the ones that are saying there's no problem?
00:19:54.740But you still can appreciate great sleeps because when it comes to sleeping, when it comes to having something that wicks the sweat off of you at night or even their clothing that keeps you dry during the day and cool, Cozy Earth has it.
00:20:24.480So yesterday, around this time, I told you that American leadership is back.
00:20:40.940That was very clear when you saw all the leaders of Europe sitting around, like they were called to the principal's office, sitting around the resolute desk in the Oval Office.
00:20:49.180And I told you that the president now is keeping his own counsel.
00:22:06.360Every time we have had a coalition of the willing, it's a bunch of flags.
00:22:12.120But we're doing all the heavy lifting.
00:22:14.360France sent four soldiers as part of the coalition of the willing.
00:22:17.960Donald Trump is building a coalition, and he's leading the coalition, but it's not our treasure, and it's not our people that are doing all the work.
00:22:48.380Pay attention to those things first, so we can be very healthy, while at the same time, be healthy enough to be able to lead the rest of the world.
00:23:01.740If anyone thinks that Donald Trump is not engaged in the rest of the world, were you watching anything that happened this weekend?
00:23:15.800Have you seen him flying all over the world and stopping and making peace in places that haven't had peace forever?
00:23:24.000He's leading, and he's saying, this is good for America as well.
00:23:30.900But what we can add is to sit down and talk to you.
00:23:35.660We can sit down and try to broker the deal.
00:23:38.900We can be the trusted third party here.
00:24:03.280I'm going to talk to you, hopefully, later today about inflation.
00:24:07.100I'm very worried that inflation is coming.
00:24:09.220You saw the producer's price index, which means how much does it cost to get the raw materials to make the things that you're going to buy in a couple of months.
00:24:18.880And that has gone up, and it's disturbing to see that.
00:24:22.500And so far, I don't believe that that is the tariffs, maybe a little bit of it.
00:24:27.440I don't think the tariffs have kicked in yet, enough to know if that is going to be a problem.
00:24:32.860Home Depot just said, you know, the tariffs, they got up, and I think we hit our limit on that, and so we are going to have to raise some of the prices.
00:43:39.660If California is, if a year from now or a month from now or if a week from now, if your cousin
00:43:45.380is kidnapped off the street, if UCLA closes down, if we announce that there won't be an
00:43:50.620election, if the census that we're relying on for the commission's next stab at redistricting
00:43:56.240doesn't include 1.5 million Californians in it, if we have no democracy left, if we look back and said, if only we could have done something.
00:44:05.720Well, the nice thing about this is that we are in a time machine.
00:48:50.920They say it is the after effects of the Cold War, Chernobyl, and Fukushima.
00:49:00.400They say that all of those released small trace amounts of cesium-137, and so it settles down sometimes onto the ocean floor, and that's where the shrimp get it.
00:49:49.980Promo code BECK, $40 off plus free meat for life.
00:49:52.880When you start your new subscription, you're helping out the ranchers, you're feeding your family great meals, and you're keeping it American.
00:50:29.320We're moving cruise missile ships, like 4,000 Marines.
00:50:36.140I mean, this is what you have when you have an invading force.
00:50:38.980You know, when you're worried about something, you want to keep calm in some area, you know, we send them over, I don't know, cough the coast of Africa because there's somebody doing something.
00:50:47.460And we send this group over, and we're like, hey, knock it off.
00:52:10.340Well, we have warships, three Aegis destroyers, and they're anchored right off his coast, and we just doubled the bounty on his head from $25 million to $50 million.
00:52:23.500And, you know, at first blush, you're like, can we, what are we doing?
00:52:29.520I mean, we've lived in a time my whole life where we're like, you know, the government can do two things at once.
00:52:36.040It should be able to walk and chew gum.
00:52:38.600Well, we're not just walking and chewing gum.
00:52:40.700We're walking, chewing gum, putting out, you know, the fire of a burning house, juggling flaming bowling pins, stopping a nuclear war, dancing the Macarena because everybody in Washington is like 8,000 years old.
00:52:51.980We're building a death-bought army at the same time, fighting people that want to behead us, oh, and the Islamists, and redistricting Texas.
00:53:02.520And we're doing it all at the same time.
00:53:07.740I mean, we're living mission impossible except our Tom Cruise is 78 years old, which I want you to think about this.
00:53:14.000I think Donald Trump is exactly who Tom Cruise will be when he's 78, just not stopping.
00:53:19.580He's still running that weird run that he's doing.
00:53:22.960Anyway, so Donald Trump is going after Venezuela for two reasons.
00:53:29.600One, drugs, fentanyl and cocaine, much of it laced, much of it deadly, and it is being trafficked here in the United States by people who are directly tied.
00:53:44.000To Maduro's government, and it's the so-called cartel of the sons, MS-13 gang members, all of this stuff is coming from Venezuela, and they are poisoning Americans.
00:54:00.180And this is not just a foreign security thing or a foreign policy issue.
00:57:58.600So Donald Trump clearly knows all of this stuff.
00:58:02.780And that's why he's offered $50 million for anybody that will turn him in or can tip us off to lead to the capture.
00:58:12.260And now the reason why we're doing that is, you've got to remember, we've done this before.
00:58:16.920Noriega was a guy that we, you know, was a drug lord and he was running a country and we said we've got to get him.
00:58:24.240And we finally did get Noriega and he went to prison for what he did.
00:58:29.500But the other times we've done that, Saddam Hussein, and even worse, Muammar Gaddafi, that was a Hillary Clinton and a Barack Obama nightmare.
00:58:43.500And they drug his body through the streets because we assisted the collapse and it became a vacuum.
00:58:49.980And now Libya is just a nightmare, just a nightmare.
01:01:18.980They were just trying to keep me out of pain.
01:01:21.380But the box fentanyl, I don't know if it still does, but if you get a box of fentanyl from the drugstore, it says, black box, you know, warning, for end-of-life use only.
01:01:46.780So addiction is one thing that we have to deal with.
01:01:49.620But we also have to say, Americans are buying this stuff.
01:01:55.160We have to change our culture and start prosecuting people who are buying this stuff and treating those who are addicted to it and understanding with compassion, yada, yada, yada.
01:02:08.240But we have to also, if you're selling drugs, you're involved in selling drugs, you should have a very, very long sentence.
01:08:44.340Then we started looking for those people that have those traits in common, and those are the people we're going to recommend to you to help sell your house or help, you know, find a new house for you.
01:09:31.860Tonight we're tying a few things together even further than we did last week on the Russia, Russia, Russia, and why it really matters tonight.
01:09:42.060You don't want to miss that, and especially with everything that has happened over the weekend.
01:16:10.240I mean, there are people now, scholars, who will tell you that Frederick Douglass never, never said a good word about the Constitution.
01:16:21.700Well, that's just absolutely dishonest.
01:16:26.360Frederick Douglass was a guy who said the Constitution is a slave document.
01:16:31.360And then he was told by, I can't remember who, but he was told by, because we have the book at the library, at our museum.
01:16:38.060He was told, read The Unconstitutionality of Slavery.
01:16:43.080When he read that and then went back and read the Constitution in that light, he was like, oh my gosh, this is the greatest freedom document of all time.
01:16:52.120But people want now, in academia and in our museums, they want to say no, because their goal is to get rid of the Constitution.
01:17:03.640My goal is to make sure we don't make these same kinds of mistakes again.
01:18:42.500And there was a good portion of the portrait gallery that was like that.
01:18:46.860They had one room, and if you've ever been to like a science museum and they have a big dinosaur, you know, and they have all the bones up there.
01:18:55.120Okay, it was about that size, and correct me if I'm describing this incorrectly, Jason, you remember it.
01:19:03.200It was in the last room, this big, huge gallery, and it was, it was, it looked like bones, like a vertebrae, okay?
01:19:12.040And it came out, and it was across most of the room, probably 70% of the room had this in the center of it.
01:19:48.860Again, completely, for no reason, out of, you want to do a deal where you're talking about, for instance, not maybe in the portrait gallery, but you're doing an exhibit on, on pushback, on rebellions, on people who have moved the civil rights for whatever it is.
01:20:08.800That's where that's, that's where that belongs.
01:20:11.140But it seems as though everything is telling us it's a bad nation and communism is neat.
01:20:19.400This is our government's pay for, our tax dollars pay for this museum.
01:20:25.220People come from all over the world to learn about America.
01:20:29.420And all they hear about America is we're a bad place and communism is neat.
01:21:01.340And I'm a guy who wants to tell the dark side of America.
01:21:05.080But that's like if I said to you, I want to tell the good side of America.
01:21:08.340We beat the Nazis and so every museum, the point of every museum always led you back to we built the Nazis because of the, we broke the back of the Nazis because of the greatest American generation.
01:21:30.360You want to tell slavery, tell both sides of slavery, not just the horrors of slavery, but the miracle of those who were white, who stood up and tried to stop it.
01:21:45.660Tell the story about how our founders sent out an armada.
01:22:34.360Do you know the story about our pilgrims arresting the captain?
01:22:38.940Our pilgrims arresting a captain of a slave ship and then taking up a collection amongst themselves, restocking that ship with more food, cleaning it up, taking everybody out of chains, hiring a new captain with their poor people, with their money, and sending them back home to Africa.
01:23:20.920That, thank God, we fought, we're the only country in mass where one race of people fought and died for the freedom of another race of people.
01:25:21.840You know, the New York Times has just stopped pursuing truth a long time ago.
01:25:28.640It's why they can get away with headlines like this because the people that they have there now are just political robots.
01:25:36.860I mean, the readers, generally speaking, are political robots because no thinking person could read that headline that we just shared with you and think, oh, well, that's true.
01:25:46.740Unless you're a political hack or robot.
01:25:50.120And the New York Times has made their readers into that.
01:25:54.660We know it's because that's why they fire anybody who has a different opinion.
01:25:58.820That's why they, inside, they say, we can't have that opinion on our pages of the newspaper because our readers won't accept it.
01:26:09.260They are no longer open-minded on any front, which makes this even more nefarious.
01:26:16.020I want to show you what's coming in October called Chat Control.
01:26:21.800This is a really important story, and it jumps right off of the back of the New York Times story we were just talking about.
01:26:34.640Let me tell you, a pretty good rule of thumb in life is set it.
01:26:39.120And forget it, whether it's automatic payments, smoke detector, insurance, having a plan in place for the kind of contingency that you need something in place because it gives you the extra peace of mind.
01:26:51.860If you don't have that, when it hits, then you're in a panic.
01:26:55.820I don't know if you've noticed, but peace of mind is kind of hard to come by these days.
01:26:59.140We live in a world where supply chains snap, pharmacy shelves go empty.
01:27:03.440You really know what's right around the corner.
01:27:05.680That's why Jace Medical makes so much sense, at least to me.
01:27:08.940They provide you with an emergency supply of antibiotics prescribed by doctors and ships straight to your door.
01:27:15.500I have prepared my family for any eventuality, and this was the only piece that I couldn't get it answered.
01:27:22.580I couldn't fix it because I'm not a doctor.
01:27:25.920Well, technically, I'm, but anyway, you know, can't write prescriptions.
01:30:34.500They give you the same strong nationwide service, the same coverage that you rely on, but with a company that actually shares your values.
01:30:42.140A company that doesn't just connect your calls, but connects with your beliefs and puts their money where their mouth is and their backs into it as well.
01:31:27.920Summarize real quick, Stu, if you will, the New York Times article and how they are presenting this story about Donald Trump with the Smithsonian.
01:31:36.800Their headline is, Trump says Smithsonian focuses too much on how bad slavery was.
01:31:43.240And the controversy, of course, you know, I mean, that's specifically designed to make you think a specific thing, right?
01:31:51.440Like, you're supposed to think he's complaining about how they're saying slavery was bad?
01:33:21.360I mean, we've lost millions of dollars over the years at different times because I have had a point of view and I know it's out of step with you.
01:33:31.040And I've said it and I've said, you know, I know you're going to disagree with this, but this is, this is where I am because I believe that's what you come here for.
01:33:41.340You don't, I'm not here to feed you what you want to hear.
01:33:45.280You come here because you want to hear my opinion.
01:33:49.000And it's just that, my opinion, my view of the world and its happenings and what it all means.
01:33:57.100I don't expect you to agree with everything.
01:33:59.800And the minute I want you to agree with everything or I want, I'll change my view so you will agree with everything.
01:34:29.760Everybody thinks about, you know, oh gosh, what's going to happen with the economy?
01:34:32.280What's going to happen with our freedom?
01:34:33.300What's going to happen with religious freedom?
01:34:34.680Whatever the big issue we're talking about of the day is.
01:34:37.000But there are also like micro things that you do that are part of your job.
01:34:40.400And like one of the things that keeps me up at night is the idea of somebody in this audience walking to, walking into work and having a conversation with a coworker and repeating something that they heard on our show only for that coworker to say, what are you talking about?
01:37:23.100Also, the New York Times, whatever they print, especially if it's got a catchy headline like that, it will go out and become very, very viral.
01:37:33.000So they're not only scooping up the intellectuals that they've already scooped up that just want to hear that one side and point of view.
01:37:40.680They're not really intellectuals anymore.
01:37:42.200But also, they're getting the dummies on the street that only read that headline, who go, yeah, well, he's a racist.
01:38:40.620You know, Jesse Owens, he didn't want to go to the Olympics.
01:38:43.980He pissed everybody off because some people said he should go to the Olympics to show a black man can beat the, you know, the white god of the Germans.
01:42:19.000So some artists took the cast of both of their fists and their forearms and made it into this art sculpture where it's just an arm and that fist over and over and over again.
01:42:32.700And they laid it out like a giant vertebrae of an animal.
01:42:36.260And it takes up a good portion of this huge room.
01:43:36.460And in Mexico City, here's what I, let me just say what I can verify.
01:43:41.080I'm not going to tell you what I, the story I think how it worked.
01:43:44.620Let me just, what I can absolutely verify.
01:43:46.360After the protest, Owens met privately with Smith and Carlos in Mexico City.
01:43:54.020Multiple accounts say he tried to counsel them, and his message was very different from theirs.
01:44:02.860Owens urged them to avoid confrontation and to think how their actions would be perceived internationally.
01:44:09.720He reportedly told them that they could accomplish more by working within the system rather than defying it so dramatically on the world stage.
01:44:18.380Now, that sounds like let's have a cup of tea and just talk.
01:44:21.600I don't think that's the way it happened.
01:44:27.300Because there are other accounts that said, while he understood the anger of the black American, because he had lived it, unlike they lived it, he had lived it decades before.
01:44:47.100So he understood what they claimed they were going through.
01:44:53.820In comparison to him, really not so much.
01:44:58.140He was very upset that they embarrassed the United States and undermined the Olympics.
01:45:34.680When you die, you might want to be remembered for being a stand-up person, a person of faith and fortitude, a person of integrity.
01:45:41.580You don't want to be remembered for all the terrified obscenities that you screamed as you were falling off the ladder to your death while cleaning out the leaves from the gutters, right?
01:45:50.500Not exactly how you want your grandkids to think of you.
01:45:53.680Leave filter takes that whole nightmare off your plate.
01:45:56.960They install a permanent solution that keeps the leaves, the debris, the gunk out of your gutters for good.
01:46:02.540No more climbing, no more scraping, no more wondering if today is the day you're going to make the evening news.
01:46:07.400When it comes time to be remembered, let it be for your character, not for the colorful words that you yelled on the way down to earth.
01:46:43.140So in 1968, Jesse Owens was seen as a model of racial progress, and progress had been made.
01:47:06.320He was the African-American who humiliated Adolf Hitler and the Aryan supremacy narrative in 1936.
01:47:16.000He then made progress from a guy who could not even go to the White House to now being part of the government, preaching patriotism and patience in the civil rights struggle all around the world.
01:49:56.480That's 3,000 lives lost every single day.
01:49:59.400Pre-born steps in at that crucial moment and they provide a free ultrasound for mom, compassionate counseling, and the truth of what's really happening inside of her body.
01:50:09.200And when a mom sees her baby, hears the heartbeat, everything changes and hope enters the room.
01:51:09.880It was Biden in office when a full-fledged war against Ukraine took place, courtesy of Russia's instigation, no matter what they try to say to Trump.
01:51:20.180It was Russia that invaded Crimea, and that was under the Obama administration.
01:51:27.040It was Clinton in office when you made a deal that disarmed Ukraine.
01:51:33.560And therefore weakened them, leaving them dependent on the United States.
01:51:37.140And now, here they are, having to beg for support, that they're owed, because of what we promised them as a nation.
01:57:03.220He's the guy that saved all of the lives of people who have needed a blood transfusion and needed to have blood there on the battlefield or anywhere.
