Speaker 3 Hey, it's Pat Gray for Stu on the Glenn Beck program. Today on the podcast, we'll speak with Mike Pompeo and talk about CAVPAC or the Champion American Values PAC.

Speaker 3 Their goal is to support conservative candidates ahead of the midterm election and the 2024 presidential election. Also, President Biden continues to make the U.S.

Speaker 3 look bad while he's hanging around the Europeans at the G7 summit.

Speaker 3 A local Fox reporter revealed on air that she's been secretly working with Project Veritas and is working towards exposing the company for silencing the reporters.

Speaker 3 Apparently, she's going to release behind-the-scenes footage. We'll also look at what cases the Supreme Court is taking on soon.

Speaker 3 And finally, Glenn is hosting his first art show in Park City, the Park City Fine Art, with all proceeds going to Mercury One and the American Journey Experience Museum.

Speaker 3 And guarantee, that'll be better than Hunter Biden's finger paintings. All this and lots more coming up today on the podcast.

Speaker 8 You're listening to the best of the Benbec program.

Speaker 9 I am thrilled to have the former U.S.

Speaker 13 Secretary of State, former CIA director, and chairman of CAVPAC, which he'll talk about here in just a second, Mike Pompeo on with us.

Speaker 17 Hello, Mike. How are you?

Speaker 18 Good morning, Glenn. It's great to be with you on your show today.

Speaker 19 Thank you very much.

Speaker 20 I appreciate it.

Speaker 22 And I really

Speaker 26 sincerely mean I really appreciate everything you have done for the country and honestly for the world, especially Israel and the Middle East.

Speaker 30 What you guys pulled off is absolutely amazing.

Speaker 14 And I hate to see it torpedoed like it's being, but thank you for that.

Speaker 18 Well, Glenn, thank you for the kind words. We did do good work, important work for the American people, important work for the people of Israel in the relationship between our two countries.

Speaker 18 It has been, I'll be honest, it has been a tough 140 or whatever the heck number of days it is to watch them already begin to undo what was really going to create prosperity and peace in the region.

Speaker 18 I think the Abraham Accords will withstand it, but it's going to take a lot of effort, a lot of effort from people who are diligent in making sure that those relationships don't deteriorate under this administration.

Speaker 32 I have to tell you,

Speaker 28 you know,

Speaker 23 Joe Biden, even going in to meet with Putin, is a little like Minnie Mouse trying to have a civil conversation with Pegleg Pete.

Speaker 30 I mean,

Speaker 36 there's no strength there at all. No strength.

Speaker 15 How do you suggest those meetings are going to go?

Speaker 15 There's a lot of risk, Glenn.

Speaker 18 These are high-stakes things. I watched President Trump go through it when I met with Chairman Kim.

Speaker 18 These were big events, and you had to be ready.

Speaker 18 It was really sad because the setup is always so important.

Speaker 18 Here, the setup was we began by joining the Paris Climate Accords, telling Vladimir Putin he'll be the world's biggest energy producer, and by lifting some sanctions on some of his buddies.

Speaker 18 It's not that we can't find places we can work with Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 18 We certainly did, but you've got to be clear and you've got to be tough, and you have to be cognizant of the risks and the malign activities engaged in. I fear that

Speaker 18 that's not what we're going to see in these next 24 hours in this meeting.

Speaker 38 I have to tell you, I don't know if I'm sure you did see what

Speaker 15 the president of Poland said, but he's like, nobody in America is consulting with us, and

Speaker 14 Biden is no Reagan, and Putin is not Gorbachev, and we're going to be the ones that pay the price.

Speaker 14 You know, it's especially poignant coming from the polls.

Speaker 18 You remember, Glenn, there was the Poles and

Speaker 18 Lekloessa and

Speaker 18 Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan who crushed the tyranny from the Soviet Union.

Speaker 18 And to hear the Poles now saying they fear that the United States is not going to be up to the task is really a historical myth and dangerous not only for the Poles in Eastern Europe, but for us as well.

Speaker 12 So we have so much to cover in so little time.

Speaker 24 So let me just go through a couple of things.

Speaker 15 The ransomware attacks.

Speaker 14 I've never heard a president say, well, it's a private issue and the president should just, or I mean, these companies, they have to decide whether they pay the blackmail.

Speaker 41 Stunning.

Speaker 2 Can you tell me?

Speaker 4 Go ahead.

Speaker 18 Yeah, this is an attack on America. And it came through a commercial

Speaker 42 attack, right?

Speaker 18 It came through an attack on a commercial enterprise, but the capacity for pipelines to move product around our East Coast is an American national security interests suggest for a moment that we're going to hand this over to some private entity.

Speaker 18 Well, goodness, it's about like handing over your social media to these big old nasty social media companies.

Speaker 18 We have to help these businesses protect their systems, and then it has to be a national effort to impose costs on those who put American lives at risk by denying us the ability to move product around our world, our country.

Speaker 43 Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So

Speaker 23 is there a strong enough connection between these hackers and Putin that we know Putin at least knows about it and is okaying it with a wink and a nod?

Speaker 18 Well, I can't tell you about this particular

Speaker 18 incident and what we know because I was out of government.

Speaker 18 But what I can say this, all the hallmarks of what took place here suggest this is some folks who are operating from Russian soil in a space that is almost certainly underwritten by one of Vladimir Putin's buddies, the oligarch system.

Speaker 18 And Putin, at the very least, is turning a blind eye to it and probably more.

Speaker 18 And so it's appropriate to to hold Vladimir Putin and the Russians accountable for the actions taking place inside of their own country. And we've got to do it, and there are tools by which we can.

Speaker 24 Let me just quickly,

Speaker 24 it looks like,

Speaker 47 well, it doesn't look like. I know it just happened.

Speaker 15 State Department was investigating COVID and the Wuhan lab and everything else.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 49 Biden just took that and shut that down and moved it over to the CIA.

Speaker 30 My theory is that that way he doesn't have to release anything because

Speaker 47 intelligence can be

Speaker 34 held as top secret.

Speaker 16 Was there evidence on this Wuhan lab when you were in office?

Speaker 23 And are we ever going to hear what really happened?

Speaker 18 So Glenn, I have a unique perspective, having led both the CIA and the State Department consecutively.

Speaker 18 When I was the Secretary of State, when the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world by the Chinese Communist Party, we began to move heaven and earth to try and figure out what happened.

Speaker 18 We had the tools to try and figure out if this was a part of a bioweapons effort on behalf of the CCP, and we learned a lot.

Speaker 18 And so, while I can't tell your listeners today, we know the answer with certainty. I am confident that this came from the virology lab.
We know enough to say that.

Speaker 18 We also know enough to know they're continuing to cover it up, and so we know plenty to hold them accountable. There's no evidence this administration wants to confront that.

Speaker 18 Three million people dead around the world, hundreds of thousands in the United States. Families still, families still here in the United States, upended by this thing.

Speaker 18 Kids having trouble coming out of these lockdowns, crazy lockdowns.

Speaker 18 The Chinese Communist Party has to be made to pay a price at the least a price sufficient to make sure they'll do what they can to make sure something like this never happens again.

Speaker 51 Talking to

Speaker 21 Mike Pompeo,

Speaker 11 you are starting

Speaker 53 what's called CAVPAC.

Speaker 38 CAV, champion American values, and also

Speaker 20 kind of a tip of the hat to your time in the Army as a cavalry

Speaker 3 officer.

Speaker 7 But it's CAVPAC, and it is looking to

Speaker 14 get real conservatives and real conservative candidates into the 2022 cycle.

Speaker 19 Tell me about it.

Speaker 18 So, Gwen, I was a businessman in Kansas back in 2010 when Barack Obama was taking our country in the wrong direction.

Speaker 18 I gave up that wonderful life with my family back in Kansas to go run for Congress to throw Nancy Pelosi out.

Speaker 18 This effort is in those same lines. It's my effort from the place that I find myself today to lead what we've called CAF back.
You're right. What does CAP do? It rides to the sound of the gun.

Speaker 18 It alerts.

Speaker 18 It sounds the siren when there's a real risk to something that matters an awful lot. And so we're going to go find conservative candidates, true believers in

Speaker 18 American workers and our American middle class.

Speaker 18 We're going to find them, and we're going to help them be successful getting elected, not just to take back the House and the Senate, but city council races.

Speaker 18 We did a state legislative race in New Hampshire last week where I'll put a fellow out. We've got to make sure that we drive this message and help good candidates get elected.

Speaker 18 And if you go to catpack.com, I think you'll see there's real action and a real heart for delivering good outcomes for our country.

Speaker 38 I'll tell you, Mike, I am not only looking for people that understand

Speaker 13 the average worker and how business is done, but I'm also looking for somebody who will stand up for the Constitution because that thing is gone.

Speaker 14 I mean, we are not following it at all, it seems right now.

Speaker 28 And both parties seem to have,

Speaker 20 you know, seem to play not an equal part, but a part in ignoring it when they want to.

Speaker 18 Glenn, there's no doubt the party that I've been a part of for decades now has

Speaker 18 its own challenges. We've got to confront them.
We've got to take them on. When I was at the State Department, we engaged in a mission, to your point,

Speaker 18 the State Department lost its way talking about human rights. It was talking about things that were crazy.
And so we created this commission designed to go back and talk about our founding.

Speaker 18 What is it that we really believe in? Why do we believe in? How do we put forward these ideas, trying to get my diplomats around the world to understand that we shouldn't apologize for America?

Speaker 18 It's this exceptional country. So

Speaker 18 we went back and regrounded the work that we were doing. That's what America needs.
It needs a regrounding in these first principles, the things that you and I learned in schools.

Speaker 18 We need to go teach them in our schools again. We're not doing that today.
If we get that wrong, I joke, but I'm three-quarters serious. I met with the Taliban.
I met with Chairman Kim.

Speaker 18 The biggest risk today is inside of our schools.

Speaker 18 If we don't get that right, if we're not brave enough and fearless enough to go stand up and demand that we teach our kids about the greatness of our nation, then this next generation will take us to a path where, you know, as our founders knew, we could lose the Republic.

Speaker 14 So yesterday,

Speaker 34 I'm big on the great reset from the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 15 I mean, almost every politician around the world in the West is using Build Back Better,

Speaker 34 which is from the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 20 Yesterday, Biden gave a speech, and I'm going to talk about it here in a few minutes, but he gave a speech, and he said, you know,

Speaker 19 for us to be able to best China, we all have to work together.

Speaker 55 Then he went through the stated goals.

Speaker 14 All of them were right directly from the great reset

Speaker 26 of the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 30 Do you think that there's

Speaker 15 an effort underway that these corporations and the government are starting to put a little private-public partnership together.

Speaker 13 Biden

Speaker 7 continuously says, you know, it's a test.

Speaker 45 We're going to see in the next couple of years

Speaker 15 whether or not a democracy like ours can survive against these authoritarian states that can just move quickly.

Speaker 18 Glenn, it saddens me when I hear that. That's the story, you know, when President Biden talks about going,

Speaker 18 we're back. He means back to Barack Obama, right?

Speaker 18 That story that you hear is managing American decline. We can't, this is not America.
We're going to win this. We've got to get it right, and we have to be fearless in doing so.

Speaker 18 When I hear them say that China presents a challenge, a challenge is figuring out whether you want to go to the store at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock. The threat is the Chinese Communist Party.

Speaker 18 And I saw the statement that came out this week. You know, it's okay, but it doesn't begin to comprehend the threat that the Chinese Communist Party presents.
And Glenn, you know this.

Speaker 18 It'll take American leadership to get this right. We're going to have to demonstrate that our businesses are prepared to sacrifice and our businesses are prepared to be the technology leaders.

Speaker 18 And we're not going to suffer the Chinese Communist Party censorship and cancellation for our American companies. We're going to man fair and free trade.

Speaker 18 If we get those things right, Glenn, America is going to

Speaker 18 push back against this threat from Xi Jinping and his commie buddies. We can do it.
We've done it before. and it's just going to take American leadership to get it right.

Speaker 18 Sadly, we don't have a president that I think is prepared to do that today.

Speaker 14 Do you stay in touch with President Trump?

Speaker 20 And if so, how's he doing?

Speaker 20 I do. He's doing great.

Speaker 18 He wants to be part of the fight in the same way I'm trying to work every day to be part of the fight.

Speaker 18 He knows that the things that we did these past four years made lives for ordinary Americans better. I think he's saddened to see what they've done in these first hundred days, too.

Speaker 18 We knew when you got President Biden, we knew what we were in for. I don't think any of us believed that the left had captured him so much that they would move this far, this left, this fast.

Speaker 18 And so time is nigh. We got to get after it.
We got to win in 2022 and shorten the runway.

Speaker 11 All right.

Speaker 9 So you are looking for people that want to run

Speaker 38 and need some help and some advice.

Speaker 4 You're looking for anybody who is running in 2022 at CAVPAC, C-A-V-P-A-C.com, correct?

Speaker 18 Correct. Only conservatives conservatives need to apply, Glenn.

Speaker 22 Again, Mike, thank you so much for everything that you have done as CIA director and

Speaker 27 secretary of state.

Speaker 33 It was amazing to watch you guys.

Speaker 30 It really was.

Speaker 31 Thank you.

Speaker 18 Well, bless you, Glenn. We'll talk again soon.
So long, sir.

Speaker 26 You got it.

Speaker 3 Bye-bye.

Speaker 13 Cavpack.com.

Speaker 45 We all have to consider running,

Speaker 24 especially at the local level. You've got to replace your school board.

Speaker 27 You have to. It has to have just

Speaker 14 the strongest people you can possibly imagine who know what critical race theory is, who knows what America really stands for, and do not move.

Speaker 56 Run for your school board.

Speaker 34 It is very, very easy, believe it or not,

Speaker 40 to win.

Speaker 2 The best of the Glen Bank program.

Speaker 2 So, I am trying to eat healthier, and I am, but the thing is, I don't like healthy food. I don't like any of it.

Speaker 43 You've heard of a fat suit, right?

Speaker 59 I mean, there's got to be, when are we getting a skinny suit?

Speaker 12 Something that will make me look skinny because I just want treats all the time.

Speaker 60 I grew up in a bakery for the love of Pete.

Speaker 61 The bad news is no skinny suit is coming.

Speaker 2 You actually have to do the work, blah, blah, blah. That's why I am eating Built Bars.

Speaker 2 It satisfies my sweet tooth, but it's a protein bar, but not like, you know, that's like eating stuff at the bottom of my chalkboard usually. This is 100% real chocolate.
It's low carb, low sugar.

Speaker 2 If I'm eating a protein bar as a treat, come on, you gotta know it's good. And I am.

Speaker 9 Mint brownie, cookies, and cream, the new flavors that are coming out all the time, they're fantastic.

Speaker 61 Go to builtbar.com and use the promo code BEC15 for 15% off your order.

Speaker 2 Your mouth is going to water just looking at them. Trust me, Builtbar.com, promo code Beck15.

Speaker 59 First, just a quick personal note.

Speaker 9 I can't thank you enough for all of your support. There's so many people that are

Speaker 21 just have been rooting for me on my

Speaker 14 art project, American Heroes, Myths, and Legends.

Speaker 34 And as I announced yesterday, it's going to be at Park City Fine Art.

Speaker 20 You can go to the website now and find out more about it at parkcityfineart.com.

Speaker 48 We announced earlier this morning that we are going to have an official show.

Speaker 15 It's so funny because they're like, and we'll have the

Speaker 11 artist reception at.

Speaker 49 And I'm like, yep, that's what we should do.

Speaker 14 An artist reception.

Speaker 49 I have no idea what any of this means.

Speaker 22 But anyway,

Speaker 10 we're going to be doing that July 26th through July 31st in Park City at Park City Fine Art.

Speaker 14 It's when they debut the work.

Speaker 26 I think it's up right now, but they're going to be taking it down soon.

Speaker 14 And I'm going to be there on Saturday, July 31st.

Speaker 48 So the last day of July, I will be there in Park City at Park City Fine Art.

Speaker 38 The proceeds that I make from the art, I want you to know, go to Mercury One, the American Journey Center for the Prevent of Prevention, the Preservation of History, also

Speaker 55 OUR, and the Nazarene Fund.

Speaker 27 So,

Speaker 52 all my

Speaker 49 profits will be going to Mercury One.

Speaker 20 Find it at parkcityfineart.com.

Speaker 53 Okay, let me go real quickly now, my friend, or to the former Biden COVID-19 czar.

Speaker 40 Oh, I've missed these czars.

Speaker 49 Here he is on COVID-19.

Speaker 64 How much of this pandemic was preventable and how?

Speaker 65 Well, of course, we would have had a pandemic here in the U.S. no matter what.

Speaker 65 But, and look, we can count the mistakes, and I think it's important that we do it for nothing else so we don't repeat them.

Speaker 65 We obviously had a set of technical mistakes with the testing and the PPE that we know about. But if we're honest, we also had two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life.

Speaker 65 One were just plainly political leadership mistakes.

Speaker 65 There was a lot, we denied the virus for too long out of the Trump White House. There was too much squashing of dissent and playing on divisions.

Speaker 65 But I'd also think we all need to look at one another and ask ourselves, what do we need to do better next time?

Speaker 65 And in many respects, being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another to get through this and to save more lives is going essential.

Speaker 65 And that's something that I think we could all have done a little bit better on.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 63 We could have sacrificed a little bit more.

Speaker 44 You know,

Speaker 33 the sacrifice of 40% of all businesses now being closed, I mean, permanently out of business, only 40%.

Speaker 14 But I don't know if that sacrifice was good enough.

Speaker 57 Or the fact that teen suicide now is up at 31%,

Speaker 59 I think a few more of us could have sacrificed our children.

Speaker 15 You know, throw it up on the altar of

Speaker 54 Anthony Fauci.

Speaker 15 I think we could have done it, right?

Speaker 26 Could have done it.

Speaker 4 Go to hell.

Speaker 58 Who do you think you are telling us that

Speaker 10 we should sacrifice more?

Speaker 59 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 16 That is

Speaker 3 so reminiscent of

Speaker 3 Jerry Carter in those days.

Speaker 55 Isn't it? Oh, yeah, it is. Blaming everything on the media

Speaker 5 people.

Speaker 11 Everybody on the left, the media and everything.

Speaker 53 You know, Donald Trump was a little slow.

Speaker 6 Really? Was he?

Speaker 44 Because when he shut down Europe, when he shut down travel from China, you all bellyached and said, oh my gosh, what a racist.

Speaker 59 And you're on TV saying, come on down to Chinatown.

Speaker 9 Don't start with me.

Speaker 49 Some of us have memories.

Speaker 9 Now, you know, Lori Lightfoot,

Speaker 12 who is just

Speaker 27 going to say a fox, fox, but

Speaker 43 yeah, she's just

Speaker 10 delightful.

Speaker 33 And

Speaker 15 she's

Speaker 58 taking some heat

Speaker 39 because

Speaker 22 she was only meeting with

Speaker 26 minorities reporters.

Speaker 22 She didn't want to meet with any white reporters.

Speaker 49 Now, yesterday she came out and she said, or the day before yesterday, she came out and said, you know, really, that only lasted two days, so it's really not a problem.

Speaker 15 Well, it only lasted two days because everybody on the planet hammered you for it.

Speaker 11 Here she is speaking to John Berman, the Chicago Mary Lori Lightfoot.

Speaker 24 By the way, Lori Lightfoot.

Speaker 40 Is she Gordon Lightfoot's mom?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Or grandmother. Because Gordon's only 82.
I think she might be his grandmother.

Speaker 27 So

Speaker 57 because he's quite a big one.

Speaker 15 I didn't know the connection.

Speaker 44 Because I've always, you know, I've looked at Lightfoot and I think Native American, but I never thought of Gordon Lightfoot.

Speaker 67 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 15 So does she know about the sinking of the Edmonds Fitzgerald?

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, because it's a legend that lives on from the Chippewa on down, you know, on the big lake they call Gichigumi. So she knows.

Speaker 24 Right.

Speaker 28 She knows.

Speaker 16 She knows. Okay.

Speaker 9 Here's Gordon Lightfoot's mom, Lori Lightfoot.

Speaker 68 I'm the mayor of the third largest city in the country. I'm an African-American.
I can't even sound a lot to state the obvious.

Speaker 68 Every day when I look out across my podium, I don't see people who look like me. But more to the point, I don't see people who reflect the richness and diversity.

Speaker 4 I'm glad we don't see people in the world.

Speaker 68 So yes, I started a watching and over to do conversation about diversity in newsrooms and coverage. You all are the mirrors on society.

Speaker 68 You reflect with a critical and important lens the news of the day. You hold public officials like me accountable.

Speaker 43 Okay. Stop.
Just pause it for a second.

Speaker 16 Keep that on screen.

Speaker 13 May I ask?

Speaker 39 No, no, see if you can keep that on screen.

Speaker 21 May I ask,

Speaker 69 Pat?

Speaker 14 My monitor here at the ranch is very small.

Speaker 43 Is he Native American or is he Indian

Speaker 4 or Hispanic?

Speaker 3 John Berman.

Speaker 60 The reporter. Yeah.

Speaker 44 John Berman.

Speaker 4 So is he white?

Speaker 4 Well, yes.

Speaker 3 I think he's.

Speaker 12 I think he's okay. I don't know because I can't see.

Speaker 53 He just looks.

Speaker 14 He just looks from.

Speaker 14 I'm looking at a 2x2 monitor here.

Speaker 22 Yeah. And he looks like

Speaker 21 an Indian.

Speaker 22 And I don't mean American Indian.

Speaker 66 And

Speaker 3 he looks a little constipated as well. So I think there might be some of that going on, too.
Well,

Speaker 11 it's probably his white guilt.

Speaker 24 If he's a white guy, that explains that.

Speaker 27 It's not constipation.

Speaker 24 It's white guilt.

Speaker 36 By the way,

Speaker 24 for those who have been waiting, waiting for the follow-up to white fragility, I mean,

Speaker 15 some some people I know didn't read it, and you have to read it because you won't understand the second one.

Speaker 52 There is another volume coming out in the series.

Speaker 13 It's called Nice Racism, and it's Robin DiAngelo's new book.

Speaker 5 I've been waiting.

Speaker 13 Finally, I mean, I think the whole country,

Speaker 12 the whole country, has been saying, Robin, you can't leave us on that cliffhanger there at the end of White Fragility.

Speaker 49 What happens to the main characters?

Speaker 39 So she has nice racism coming out.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 24 this one is written directly to white people

Speaker 60 as a white person.

Speaker 7 She identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm.

Speaker 7 And I think that's great.

Speaker 49 I just, I'm glad somebody's finally willing to say it.

Speaker 26 She said those patterns include rushing to prove that we're not racist.

Speaker 12 Downplaying white advantage, romanticizing black, indigenous, and other peoples of color.

Speaker 26 That happens all the time. I've been romanticizing that all the time.

Speaker 13 Me too.

Speaker 3 Sometimes I pretend to be all three at the same time. Black, indigenous, and other peoples of color.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 38 That is so romantic. Isn't it? That is so romantic.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Pretending white segregation just happens.

Speaker 40 She's on to us. Yep.

Speaker 47 You know, I have to tell you, in my last HOA meeting, which some say I never attend, but oh, I'm there.

Speaker 28 Yeah.

Speaker 24 We were specifically,

Speaker 23 well, we didn't actually use these words, but we're like, how can we keep this neighborhood segregated?

Speaker 25 And that's when a lot of the guys who are black that live in my neighborhood were like, excuse me.

Speaker 16 And I'm like, oh,

Speaker 41 oh, you're probably not black.

Speaker 54 You're probably a sellout to your race.

Speaker 36 And they were like, oh, yeah, I forgot.

Speaker 44 And then

Speaker 23 the feeling that we've all had, she explains, the feeling, just feeling immobilized by shame.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 57 And I think that's what is happening to my son. I really do.

Speaker 44 I thought it was just sheer, unadulterated laziness.

Speaker 11 But now I think that it, no, I think he's immobilized by shame.

Speaker 49 And what's great is she writes candidly about her own missteps and her own struggles.

Speaker 14 You know, and to she does it to encourage white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage.

Speaker 67 Because you're going to need it in that lifelong commitment of accountability.

Speaker 41 Here are the table of contents.

Speaker 14 What is a nice racist?

Speaker 67 Second chapter is the one I think I'm buying it for.

Speaker 30 Why it's okay to generalize about white people.

Speaker 13 Oh, well. That one is.

Speaker 43 Yeah, because they're white, obviously.

Speaker 3 That's why it's okay.

Speaker 51 It's a short book.

Speaker 3 It's a short book.

Speaker 44 What is a nice racist?

Speaker 15 One that

Speaker 11 doesn't beat you over the head and kill you.

Speaker 23 I mean, without a smile on their face.

Speaker 57 Why is it okay to generalize about white people?

Speaker 60 Because they're white.

Speaker 9 There is no choir, chapter 3.

Speaker 23 I don't think you need more than the headline on that one.

Speaker 16 What's wrong with niceness?

Speaker 2 Well, a lot.

Speaker 26 A lot. Honestly, a lot.
Yeah.

Speaker 31 People need to be. I mean, niceness doesn't always get you.

Speaker 19 You know, you got to be, you got to, sometimes you have to

Speaker 27 set a city on fire to get people's attention.

Speaker 32 Steal some shoes.

Speaker 8 Moves. Along the way.

Speaker 24 The moves of the white progressives.

Speaker 34 I wonder if that chapter, that's chapter five in Robin D'Angelo's new book,

Speaker 39 Nice Racism.

Speaker 24 The moves of white progressives, I wonder if that includes how all of those white progressives that set up BLM, you know, the global network,

Speaker 35 how all those white people set that up and then

Speaker 35 bilked everybody who gave to BLM.

Speaker 15 You know, remember we told you, but of course, Robin DiAngelo was saying, hey, BLM, don't hate to BLM.

Speaker 44 And who got rich?

Speaker 60 The white liberal progressive.

Speaker 27 So.

Speaker 3 Well, and Patrice Colors,

Speaker 3 obviously the co-founder of BLM, she made a few bucks on the side, too, which wasn't you.

Speaker 26 It didn't really.

Speaker 34 Yes, she's she's an accompl, she's an accomplished, accomplished artist.

Speaker 3 Well, and just like uh and a trained Marxist as well, so you know she right, all her intents are good,

Speaker 34 yeah, and she knows how to make money as all Marxists do.

Speaker 14 Yes, uh, you steal it from you steal it from others.

Speaker 38 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Speaker 51 That's not what one dad did.

Speaker 33 His estranged daughter, when his child support ended, he dropped off his final child support payment, dumping 80,000 pennies on his wife's lawn.

Speaker 27 That's not very nice. That's just not very nice.

Speaker 21 Funny, sure.

Speaker 24 Hard to do, you bet.

Speaker 11 Not as hard probably as picking them up out of the grass

Speaker 49 and

Speaker 51 then bringing them to the bank to have them count all of them.

Speaker 27 But hey, it's legal tender.

Speaker 34 It is legal tender.

Speaker 46 Actually, you can't do that, can you, Pat?

Speaker 58 I didn't think you could.

Speaker 39 I thought the banks could say, no, we're not accepting that.

Speaker 3 don't. I'm not sure about the legality of that.
I don't know how you turn down legal tender, though. Like you said, it is legal, so why not? And especially since he paid her, not the bank.

Speaker 43 Here's your money.

Speaker 3 Although that's vindictive, and I can't explain it.

Speaker 63 Yeah, not a good example for his daughter.

Speaker 2 Not a good one. Really?

Speaker 27 Here's some good news for you.

Speaker 59 CNN's hour-long interview, which clips were played all last week and people were talking about.

Speaker 11 It was an interview with President Barack Obama,

Speaker 21 and

Speaker 29 it was needed at CNN because their ratings are really bad.

Speaker 22 And the interview did

Speaker 14 nothing for the bad ratings at CNN.

Speaker 49 Nobody watched.

Speaker 49 Nobody watched.

Speaker 15 Half a million people,

Speaker 55 probably extra, for the Anderson Cooper 360 watch the show.

Speaker 48 By the way,

Speaker 28 that was half of what Tucker Carlson had

Speaker 31 the same night.

Speaker 44 So President Obama not really heeded very much.

Speaker 23 And you know why?

Speaker 9 Because most people on the left, and this is an honest observation by somebody who used to work for him.

Speaker 48 They told me privately that

Speaker 44 people were not with him.

Speaker 48 The Marxists were not with him because they felt that he had sold out to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton gang,

Speaker 39 which in some ways he did.

Speaker 67 I mean, not from my perspective. Because I think he did a lot of damage to the country, but not enough for the Marxists.

Speaker 24 And that's why he couldn't draw a crowd, why nobody had any passion, because he had become a guy that was there to play the corporate game and make lots and lots of money, which he did.

Speaker 42 Now,

Speaker 44 Nickelodeon ratings are out.

Speaker 6 Have you seen what Nickelodeon is doing?

Speaker 13 Nick Jr.

Speaker 12 has released videos championing things like trans, queer, and pansexual inclusion.

Speaker 2 One video that sparked a lot of outrage depicted a cartoon version of a drag queen singing about various LGBTQIA

Speaker 41 plus two groups loving each other so proudly on Blue's Clues and You, a show for two to five year olds.

Speaker 13 And I think that's...

Speaker 37 Those are the clues that I was hoping Blue would find.

Speaker 16 I don't know about you, Pat.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. I want, doesn't everybody want their two to five-year-old in touch with their sexuality and everybody else's?

Speaker 55 Yes.

Speaker 55 Yes.

Speaker 22 Thank you, finally, has

Speaker 39 somebody has the guts to say it.

Speaker 6 Now, the viewership has dropped from 1.3 million average viewers per week to 372,000.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 43 Oh, that's great. I mean, that is.

Speaker 5 That's great.

Speaker 29 Oh, isn't it?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Isn't it?

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 63 So it looks like Paramount and

Speaker 7 Nickelodeon Nickelodeon are in some, gosh darn it, financial trouble. Did you see Jon Stewart on,

Speaker 22 what's his name? The really obnoxious

Speaker 21 funny guy.

Speaker 14 Stephen Colbert.

Speaker 26 Thank you for knowing that.

Speaker 19 Did you see him when he came out?

Speaker 51 I mean,

Speaker 20 I shouldn't have left it at that.

Speaker 66 Oh, he came out.

Speaker 3 No, no. No, I was talking about the, he was talking about the vaccine, right? Or the,

Speaker 3 actually, where the virus came from.

Speaker 37 Is that what you're talking about? So

Speaker 24 this was the return of the Colbert show to the Sullivan Theater because the vaccine is out now.

Speaker 21 And

Speaker 49 he walks on stage

Speaker 47 and he gets a standing ovation.

Speaker 46 And then he

Speaker 39 grinned widely as he embraced his band leader, John Batiste, which

Speaker 27 I have all of his album.

Speaker 14 And he said, we never really left, but we certainly weren't here.

Speaker 11 And it's like the first day back at school.

Speaker 33 I'm really happy because

Speaker 48 we've all been vaccinated.

Speaker 33 I know I'm not going to get COVID.

Speaker 14 And a lot of people didn't take good care of themselves during the pandemic.

Speaker 47 But

Speaker 53 I want you to meet a good friend, Jon Stewart, everybody.

Speaker 67 And Jon Stewart walked out and listened to this.

Speaker 64 I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has in many ways helped ease the suffering of this pandemic,

Speaker 64 which was more than likely caused by science.

Speaker 64 And that's kind of...

Speaker 64 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 64 Listen, listen.

Speaker 64 It's coffee. I wouldn't do that to you.
I wouldn't do that to you. I'm looking forward to the teacher.
What do you take, Steve?

Speaker 64 What do you mean by that? Do you mean like perhaps there's a chance that this was created in a lab as an investigation? A chance?

Speaker 70 Hold on.

Speaker 64 Oh my god, there's evidence. I'd love to hear it.
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask?

Speaker 64 The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.

Speaker 58 The disease is the same name as the lab.

Speaker 50 That's just a little too weird.

Speaker 64 Don't you think? And then the actual scientists are like, how did this...

Speaker 70 So wait a minute.

Speaker 64 You work at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab. How did this happen? And they're like, ooh, a penguin kissed a turtle.

Speaker 42 And you're like, no,

Speaker 50 the name of your lab. And you look at the name.

Speaker 50 Look at the name. Can I, let me see your business card.
Show me your business card.

Speaker 64 Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan oh because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan how did that happen maybe a bat flew into the waca of a turkey and

Speaker 64 then it sneezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus like come okay okay

Speaker 64 there's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 50 What do you think happened?

Speaker 8 Like, oh, I don't know.

Speaker 64 Maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean.

Speaker 50 Or it's the

Speaker 70 chocolate factory.

Speaker 70 Maybe that's it.

Speaker 66 That's funnier than John Steve's been in 30 years.

Speaker 11 That was, that's

Speaker 23 good.

Speaker 59 It's brilliant, and it's the truth.

Speaker 12 And notice the audience is all for it, and Colbert is not.

Speaker 43 Colbert is like, well,

Speaker 24 if there's actual evidence, I'd like to hear it.

Speaker 7 No, you know, Stephen, that's the funny thing about being a comedian.

Speaker 33 You sometimes play on the obvious to make people laugh.

Speaker 19 Now, I know you haven't, well,

Speaker 20 you have tried a long time, but you haven't made that happen, I think, ever.

Speaker 43 Except when you were with Jon Stewart.

Speaker 28 Isn't that weird?

Speaker 11 But Jon Stewart is not only making people laugh about it, he's stating the obvious, and the audience is

Speaker 59 with him.

Speaker 43 It's with him. It definitely is.

Speaker 59 Every time Colbert tries to stop him, the audience, he's like, no, no, no.

Speaker 39 And the audience cheers.

Speaker 48 I think that was amazing.

Speaker 14 Now, let me give you Chuck Schumer because he is so woke, so woke.

Speaker 49 And I want to give you a clip of what he was talking about when he was doing an interview.

Speaker 40 He was wanting to build some extra housing for those in need.

Speaker 31 And here's what he said.

Speaker 71 And this initiative actually will house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets. We see them every day.

Speaker 71 We're about to house them, and they're against it.

Speaker 71 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 18 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 18 I have found that my whole career. They wanted to build a,

Speaker 18 and when I first was assemblymen, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children.

Speaker 71 The whole neighborhood was against it. These are harmless kids.

Speaker 18 They just needed some help.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the retarded.

Speaker 66 They're just

Speaker 66 so sweet.

Speaker 4 All those

Speaker 6 retards.

Speaker 51 Thank you very much, Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 4 What a ridiculous.

Speaker 59 And, you know, they won't say anything about that. They won't say a word about that.

Speaker 6 But I'll bet you that what I just said will be taken out of context.

Speaker 66 And they're, Glenn Beck, said the R word.
