Speaker 4 Today is a powerful podcast that you want to not only listen to, but share with your friends.

Speaker 7 A lot of comedy, and then a lot of really scare yourself till you crap your pants kind of news that you don't want to miss.

Speaker 13 Department of Homeland Security, what's happening with the Commission on January 6th, a lot more than you think.

Speaker 19 Also, what the American Medical Association and now what the American Psychiatric Association is telling doctors and psychiatrists to include in all of their diagnoses.

Speaker 4 The door is coming closed quickly.

Speaker 22 Also, we have the one and only Jason Whitlock joining us.

Speaker 13 You don't want to miss a minute of today's podcast.

Speaker 20 You're listening to

Speaker 20 the best of the Blendback program.

Speaker 3 Thank you to Def Leppard for doing our theme.

Speaker 25 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 29 The news today is disturbing, but I want you to know that this is all on the federal level.

Speaker 32 To win, you must go to the local level.

Speaker 12 And you need to stand in your own hometown and in your county.

Speaker 33 Let me give you a reason why.

Speaker 16 Top prosecutor in Loudoun County, Virginia, has participated in the Facebook group whose members infamously created a list of parents who disagreed with the school system policies of critical race theory.

Speaker 7 The intention of this Facebook group is to hack, infiltrate, I'm quoting, hack, infiltrate, and expose parents.

Speaker 44 And this is all according to screenshots.

Speaker 16 March 16th, this was exposed.

Speaker 7 And now the anti-racist parents of Loudoun County have doubled down.

Speaker 44 And now they appear to be going after children and gathering information of children of at least one adult.

Speaker 38 There is the group administrator who is saying, hey, anyone else with racist TikToks of kids, please PM me, especially more with the N-word.

Speaker 39 Okay, all right.

Speaker 16 Another member responded to that post saying, we have to fight this S together.

Speaker 37 That's when the county's top prosecutor chimed in and said, exactly,

Speaker 25 you are where we need you.

Speaker 6 What?

Speaker 25 You are where we need you.

Speaker 16 The top prosecutor is getting involved with this and is in support of the hackers and people who are trying to expose.

Speaker 50 You need to stand up together.

Speaker 16 You know, I read a story today that people are concerned that

Speaker 10 liberals are starting to worry about all this wokeness.

Speaker 32 They're thinking this might play out badly because a lot of people don't like it, and it'll play out badly in the next election.

Speaker 34 Forget about the election.

Speaker 40 It's playing out badly for all humankind if we continue to go down this road.

Speaker 12 One more thing, then we bring Pat Gray in to talk about ATF.

Speaker 45 Try this one on.

Speaker 28 The TSA

Speaker 34 began implementing President Biden's mask mandate at airports.

Speaker 44 It has now been extended through September 13th.

Speaker 12 2021.

Speaker 54 The senior official performing the duties of Transportation Security Administration's administrator confirmed yesterday, quote, that TSA agents must handle mask mandate violations in airports the same way they would treat travelers trying to take firearms through security checkpoints.

Speaker 12 Now, listen to me if you're a cop.

Speaker 4 Please listen to me if you're a cop.

Speaker 33 I understand why you would want to walk away.

Speaker 55 I get it. I get it.

Speaker 34 But if you walk away, if you walk away, you're going to leave us with a police force that is like the TSA.

Speaker 44 There's a lot of great people in the TSA.

Speaker 33 I meet them at airports all the time that are doing their jobs.

Speaker 27 But I also meet an equal amount of just dumb, dumb dummies.

Speaker 25 who

Speaker 37 shouldn't work the frialator.

Speaker 34 Honest to God, they might fry their own hands or face.

Speaker 47 What happened to my hand? I'm going to look.

Speaker 10 They shouldn't work a fryulator.

Speaker 8 They don't care.

Speaker 23 Please stay in place.

Speaker 48 You cannot abandon that post because it's going to get bad if

Speaker 14 we have that half of the TSA being our police force, we're in real trouble.

Speaker 16 By the way, the good news is we won't have any guns.

Speaker 32 I love the new, I love the new ATF guy.

Speaker 57 How about he's great?

Speaker 39 Yeah, he's fine. He's fine.
He's great. Yeah.

Speaker 58 I particularly liked him with posing for a selfie in front of the destruction at Waco after

Speaker 24 91 people were killed there. That was really cool for him to stand in front of that wreckage and take a little selfie.

Speaker 23 He was proud of it, I guess.

Speaker 30 Yeah, well, you know,

Speaker 4 it was a lantern, you know?

Speaker 13 Yeah, right.

Speaker 4 So McCleary's cow kicked over a lantern.

Speaker 18 And that's how they all died.

Speaker 60 It had nothing to do with Janet Reno. Just horrific.

Speaker 31 And, you know, but I think it's great to see the backlash from the left on that.

Speaker 60 You know, oh, they're upset.

Speaker 33 Oh, they've got to be upset.

Speaker 16 I mean, he's standing there with, you know, it's, you know, I know how they respond when somebody kills a lion.

Speaker 39 Right, right. You know what I mean?

Speaker 31 They kill a lion and everybody goes crazy.

Speaker 57 It was like a trophy pose.

Speaker 59 It really was.

Speaker 57 Despicable.

Speaker 37 Okay, so

Speaker 14 let me play some of the audio.

Speaker 48 Let me just play Cruz

Speaker 21 with Chipman.

Speaker 29 Does he plan on banning AR-15s?

Speaker 61 Listen to this.

Speaker 62 The AR-15 is one of, if not the most popular rifle in America. It's not a machine gun.
It's a rifle.

Speaker 62 Your public position is that you want to ban AR-15s. Is that correct?

Speaker 63 Senator, thank you for the question. And thank you for our visit yesterday and offering you Dr.
Pepper. It made me reminisce about my time in Central Texas.
But now to your question.

Speaker 63 With respect to the AR-15, I support

Speaker 63 a ban as

Speaker 63 has been presented in a Senate bill and supported by the President.

Speaker 63 The AR-15 is a gun I was issued on ATF's SWAT team, and it's a particularly lethal weapon and regulating it as other particularly lethal weapons

Speaker 48 like a Smith Wesson 380.

Speaker 57 That's not particularly lethal.

Speaker 26 That's only a director if I'm confirmed.

Speaker 63 I would simply enforce the laws and the books.

Speaker 6 And right now,

Speaker 39 I'm just going to follow the laws.

Speaker 41 All right.

Speaker 32 Here's how he, well, first of all, cut seven, please.

Speaker 12 He can't seem to identify or define an assault weapon.

Speaker 61 Listen to this.

Speaker 64 I got 35 seconds left. Define it for me.

Speaker 62 Would you please, sir?

Speaker 63 What's an assault weapon?

Speaker 63 Yeah, Senator,

Speaker 63 the bill to ban assault weapons is

Speaker 63 dozens of pages. There's no way I could define an assault weapon.

Speaker 64 You're going to run this agency and you don't have a definition of assault weapon?

Speaker 63 But I would be enforcing the definition that members of the United States are going to be issuing rules and regulations.

Speaker 28 Just give me your definition.

Speaker 63 I'll give you one definition that ATF currently is. Give me your definition.

Speaker 63 One definition that ATF currently is.

Speaker 28 Give me your

Speaker 63 I can give you one definition

Speaker 64 forget about this okay so he doesn't answer it now listen to this here's what he finally defines an assault weapon there are not criminal consequences I want to turn to a second matter now Mr.

Speaker 64 Chipman you have called for an assault weapons ban I have a simple question for you what is an assault weapon

Speaker 63 Senator an assault weapon would be in the context of the question you asked what Congress defines it as

Speaker 64 oh so you're asking us to ban assault weapons we have to write legislation. Can you tell me what is an assault weapon? How would you define it if you were the head of the ATF?

Speaker 64 How have you defined it over the last several years as your role as a government?

Speaker 39 Listen to this.

Speaker 63 Senator, if I am confirmed as ATF director,

Speaker 63 my recollection is the only

Speaker 63 process by which ATF is weighed in is that I know there is a demand letter 3 program which requires multiple reports, multiple sale reports on the southwestern border.

Speaker 63 And ATF in that program has defined an assault rifle as any semi-automatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine above the caliber of 22, which would include a 223, which is

Speaker 63 largely the AR-15 round.

Speaker 20 That would also include every handgun that is semi-automatic because it's a detachable magazine.

Speaker 16 It feeds into the gun. All right.

Speaker 56 You know much more about guns than I do, but he said rifle, right? Would a handgun be a rifle?

Speaker 13 If you're defining it based on its feeding from a magazine underneath, he did say rifle.

Speaker 51 But that would include then, if you just want to look just at rifles, that would include the gun we used in World War I.

Speaker 66 World War I.

Speaker 59 I had a really rough boating accident recently

Speaker 59 where my boat flipped over.

Speaker 56 I had all my guns, and they all went to the bottom of a very deep lake, and I think into a cave or something. We looked at the bottom of the lake, could not find trace of them.

Speaker 56 But at one point, I did have a gun that was sort of like on the AR-15 sort of platform that was technically a handgun.

Speaker 56 So, would that be concluded in this ban?

Speaker 6 I think it would.

Speaker 5 Yes, it would.

Speaker 29 And I would feel for you because

Speaker 13 I had my guns because I was doing some investigation in a cave, too.

Speaker 7 I was over in Wuhan just a few months ago,

Speaker 13 and I accidentally dropped all of my guns.

Speaker 42 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 16 And they just kept, I just heard them going,

Speaker 26 oh, my gosh.

Speaker 38 It's probably very deep.

Speaker 39 Oh, my God. My guns.

Speaker 54 Wow. Guns.

Speaker 39 And then I heard

Speaker 12 all the bats started coming, and I was like, I got to get out of here.

Speaker 7 So all my guns are in China.

Speaker 57 You were able to transport your guns to the Communist Republic of China.

Speaker 6 Wow. It wasn't easy.

Speaker 36 It wasn't easy. That's impressive.

Speaker 5 It wasn't easy. That's impressive.

Speaker 56 Not sure why you'd ask a question like that. Sounds like a bad question.

Speaker 2 It does.

Speaker 56 It doesn't seem like a bad question that only an enemy of the state would ask.

Speaker 5 Exactly right.

Speaker 28 Only someone who has guns, perhaps, in a safe. No, no.

Speaker 2 You had guns.

Speaker 24 I just know I had a boating accident on a lake.

Speaker 58 You had a boating accident.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

Speaker 43 Or a cave accident.

Speaker 47 I just had a boating accident.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I know it was just, it was a deep body of water, and I do so much fishing, you know, and I always take my guns with me.

Speaker 25 So I don't remember what body of water I was on.

Speaker 2 I just remember losing the guns over the edge of the boat.

Speaker 36 Did you call somebody?

Speaker 58 I didn't because I lost my phone that same time and I get a new one.

Speaker 39 It's terrible.

Speaker 45 And you figured they're down at the bottom of the lake, so nobody's going to get them.

Speaker 58 Nobody's going to get them. No reason.

Speaker 47 And it might have not been a lake. It might have been the ocean.

Speaker 5 It might have been the ocean. It might have been the ocean.

Speaker 59 Yeah, so they could have been swallowed by a whale.

Speaker 34 No, you can't remember if you were inland or on the coast.

Speaker 56 I can't.

Speaker 39 You can't.

Speaker 2 I can't remember.

Speaker 58 No. Right.
It's an interesting.

Speaker 18 I lost it in a boating accident.

Speaker 57 As you've mentioned a few times, I'll bet you if they,

Speaker 24 if you replaced the metal portion of an AR-15 with the wood paneling that, you know, like is on a hunting rifle, they wouldn't have any problem with these, with these.

Speaker 46 No, the average person wouldn't. The average person wouldn't.

Speaker 12 However, what he just defined is a, and I don't remember somebody in the audience will know, but it is a gun that we used in World War I.

Speaker 37 I think we used it in World War II.

Speaker 32 And it feeds from below, and it's a wood paneled, you know, it's like a, you know, it's like a Plymouth woody.

Speaker 31 It's got the wood paneling on the sides.

Speaker 65 And it's semi-automatic.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 50 Because it feeds

Speaker 45 from the bottom.

Speaker 56 It seems like whatever definition they come up with is.

Speaker 61 I'm pretty sure that's semi-automatic.

Speaker 34 Now you're saying that, now maybe you do have to cock it.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I wonder.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 56 The bottom line is they're going to be banning a lot of guns that, number one, we won't like. Number two, they can't actually ban because it's unconstitutional.

Speaker 14 So notice what he said here, and this is the most important thing.

Speaker 36 This is Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 14 And by the way, I believe there is a coming announcement of a president that is going to do more damage to the United States of America than Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 31 I think that announcement is coming from this program soon.

Speaker 36 But this is what Woodrow Wilson did.

Speaker 16 Did you notice how he answered the question?

Speaker 12 I don't define it.

Speaker 60 I, you know, the agency defines it.

Speaker 16 I just, I go with what the agency defines. It's not, that senator was wrong.

Speaker 54 It's not what the Senate says.

Speaker 34 The Senate will put in charge the agency of the ATF, and the ATF will define everything.

Speaker 34 That's the way this all works.

Speaker 8 So there's no one ever to really pin on.

Speaker 40 He doesn't have to answer that question because really it's in the agency and the agency does that.

Speaker 56 Because technically, right,

Speaker 56 he can't write a bill, right? The ATF guy cannot say, okay, this is what I think it is, which is what the technicality he's holding out on there.

Speaker 65 Correct.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 it is like Obamacare.

Speaker 38 Remember when we went through Obamacare, how many times it said, we'll be be left up to the Secretary's discretion? Yeah.

Speaker 34 That's the way all of this is done.

Speaker 14 There is another,

Speaker 34 this is an out-in-the-open shadow government.

Speaker 13 It is not one that is secretive.

Speaker 45 It's called the cabinet.

Speaker 56 Right.

Speaker 56 So he says, I can't answer this because Congress has to define it. And then Congress says the way we define it is how the ATF says it should be defined.
Right.

Speaker 56 And so then eventually he winds up being a big part of that decision-making process anyway, and nobody having to deal with it before it gets cut. Correct.

Speaker 16 And the Senate doesn't have to deal with it.

Speaker 34 Nobody has to deal with it.

Speaker 16 There's never anybody responsible for these things.

Speaker 12 And that is the thing that everyone should be concentrating on.

Speaker 14 What is it they're doing at the cabinet level?

Speaker 12 That's the other hand.

Speaker 11 Back in a minute.

Speaker 12 Thank you, Pat Gray, for joining us.

Speaker 48 Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, a great podcast you can hear every day live before this program on the Blaze Radio Network. Also, you can hear them wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 61 Wow, it's been fun, hasn't it?

Speaker 12 I mean, I take on W,

Speaker 42 I think it's, yeah, WWE in just a minute.

Speaker 15 Yeah, yeah, I'm taking them on.

Speaker 60 Yeah, and I'm not afraid.

Speaker 60 You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 34 All right, I told you a week ago

Speaker 29 that the American Medical Association released a plan to embed racial justice into the medical profession.

Speaker 19 This went beyond just saying, hey, you know, we need more black doctors, so we're going to lower the standards for people in medical school so they can be doctors.

Speaker 28 Excuse me?

Speaker 51 I know that meritocracy is something that only white people care about because I'm sure black people are like, no, I want the black doctor.

Speaker 40 What, he got Fs in the surgery that he's gonna give me?

Speaker 49 That's okay. He's black.

Speaker 17 Bring him on in.

Speaker 38 Nobody, nobody disagrees with meritocracy when your life is at stake.

Speaker 37 So not only are they lowering the standards at schools for people of color,

Speaker 47 but they're also

Speaker 16 they released a lengthy anti-racist plan, anti-racist plan.

Speaker 47 And their new initiatives are going to end embedded racial, or they're going to embed racial justice to rid ourselves of

Speaker 67 racist people.

Speaker 45 And apparently doctors.

Speaker 38 I guess doctors are very, very racist.

Speaker 40 They have an 86-page document that outlines a three-year plan to implement anti-racist initiatives, including pushing critical race theory through the medical community.

Speaker 38 Now, what, Stu, what could possibly be a problem with that?

Speaker 51 What could possibly be the problem with critical race theory with your doctor?

Speaker 56 Well, it seems like then you'd be able to define people who didn't agree with critical race theory as having a medical or psychological problem.

Speaker 17 Well, no, we're talking about the medical field.

Speaker 33 We're talking about the medical field.

Speaker 12 And, you know, so I guess they might have a medical problem, sure, but you'd need a psychiatrist to deem them as having a

Speaker 57 mental problem. That's true.

Speaker 56 If that happened, I would be more worried.

Speaker 33 You'd be more worried? Yeah.

Speaker 56 I mean, the medical thing is.

Speaker 48 The medical thing is disturbing because you could say, hey, for equity purposes, you white person don't get the treatment that person does.

Speaker 41 Right. Right?

Speaker 56 That could be bad. That could be bad.

Speaker 12 That could lead to a death list.

Speaker 29 You know what I mean?

Speaker 35 Where

Speaker 28 you're making lists of who dies, who doesn't, based on, well, I guess, race.

Speaker 34 Race.

Speaker 56 And the thing about this is, of course, we've seen this in history. And I thought we all agreed it was really a bad idea to give preferential treatment to people for medical causes, not in race.

Speaker 13 No, no, China's the new model.

Speaker 34 So you were saying you would be worried if it...

Speaker 56 I would say

Speaker 56 it would be another whole other step in the wrong direction if it was psychiatrists.

Speaker 3 like the APA, like the American Psychiatric Association, if they came out and said,

Speaker 16 which they did yesterday,

Speaker 16 the largest psychiatric organization in the world sent an email to their members yesterday that psychiatrists need to incorporate anti-racism into their practice.

Speaker 38 The email encouraged psychiatrists to commit themselves to practice anti-racism with their patients and restated its commitment commitment to achieving mental health equity for all.

Speaker 4 Anti-racism, of course, you know this from the brilliant Ibram X.

Speaker 34 Kendi

Speaker 12 and his book, How to Be an Anti-Racist.

Speaker 4 And really, the only way to rid racists and racism from the world is racism.

Speaker 37 That's the actual idea.

Speaker 56 He says the word discrimination. He advocates for discrimination.

Speaker 57 He doesn't use the word racism, of course.

Speaker 56 But I kind of put those on the same plane.

Speaker 38 So mental health professionals were given suggestions for steps to center racial equity in all their conversations with their patients.

Speaker 14 Why is this a problem?

Speaker 32 Why is this a problem?

Speaker 38 First of all, because it's not true.

Speaker 17 Critical race theory is something that Marxists made up to overthrow the Western world and freedom.

Speaker 9 That's what critical race theory is. Period.

Speaker 40 There's no scientific anything backing up critical race theory.

Speaker 16 It was created by Marxists so Marxists could silence those who were against Marxism.

Speaker 37 That's it.

Speaker 37 That's it.

Speaker 10 So now

Speaker 18 they're going to embed it into the medical side and the psychiatric side of medicine.

Speaker 9 What could possibly go wrong?

Speaker 16 Well, unfortunately for me, and unfortunately maybe for you, I know history.

Speaker 15 So I'll tell you what could go wrong.

Speaker 50 Do you know who the biggest

Speaker 10 advocate and professional body was

Speaker 34 that did more to bring on the Holocaust and the death camps than any other profession in Nazi Germany?

Speaker 68 Doctors and nurses.

Speaker 8 More German medical professionals

Speaker 10 joined the Nazi Party than any other profession, and they also joined it at a faster clip.

Speaker 8 By 1933,

Speaker 16 more than half of the German medical profession had joined the Nazi Party.

Speaker 34 And they were the ones that were pushing, we got to get rid of the unfit.

Speaker 16 We got to get rid of the people who are just not good for the Reich.

Speaker 8 They were the ones.

Speaker 70 You do not want your

Speaker 10 medical professionals at all

Speaker 10 judging anything regarding politics.

Speaker 16 Doctors in Germany became tightly integrated into the Nazi Party and supportive of its ideals.

Speaker 66 Physicians became Nazified more thoroughly and sooner than any other profession.

Speaker 34 And they also did more

Speaker 2 to

Speaker 16 they did more for the final solution than anyone else.

Speaker 8 By

Speaker 18 1942, 38,000 physicians had joined the Nazi Party.

Speaker 5 Here's how it happened.

Speaker 12 Now see if any of these ring any kind of a bell.

Speaker 43 Now, before I go down this road, I want to say, just because history, when we go through all of these things and you see one or two that might be happening now, that doesn't mean you're going to end in a death camp.

Speaker 40 It just means you're on exactly the same road.

Speaker 43 So warning,

Speaker 50 bridge

Speaker 19 may be icy.

Speaker 4 It doesn't mean the bridge is always icy.

Speaker 19 It just means if the conditions are right, you could find yourself flying off the side of the bridge because of ICE.

Speaker 14 See if any of these things sound familiar.

Speaker 11 The things that had to happen in the medical field for them to go off the bridge and into the Holocaust.

Speaker 40 First, the devaluation and dehumanization of segments of the community.

Speaker 42 Think that's happening?

Speaker 6 Is that happening at all?

Speaker 32 What are we going to do with these people?

Speaker 27 These people just need to be re-educated.

Speaker 68 They're extremists.

Speaker 49 Remember when you couldn't say that about Muslims who were actually terrorists?

Speaker 28 You couldn't say it about actual terrorists.

Speaker 34 Now it's fine to say that about half of America.

Speaker 40 The devaluation and dehumanization of segments of the community.

Speaker 20 The medicalization of social and political problems.

Speaker 68 What does that mean?

Speaker 22 The medicalization of social and political problems?

Speaker 16 You mean like adding critical race theory and anti-racism into the medical professions?

Speaker 40 The trainings of physicians to identify with political goals of the government.

Speaker 8 So that would be like when they have trainings

Speaker 16 and they have training seminars and people like Ibram Kendi coming in and training.

Speaker 34 Is that what that is?

Speaker 9 Then they also needed the fear of consequences for refusing to cooperate.

Speaker 15 Oh, well, that's not happening.

Speaker 12 Then they just made the bureaucrats in charge of the medical

Speaker 61 system.

Speaker 12 And when the bureaucrats...

Speaker 48 came in and just made everything a bureaucracy, the doctors needed to feel some power

Speaker 12 and they also started to weaken their ethics and human rights because it was all about numbers.

Speaker 20 Then the Nazis, the Nazi physicians and nurses viewed the state as their primary patient.

Speaker 22 Now listen to this one.

Speaker 40 Some came to see quarantine,

Speaker 13 otherwise known as ghettoization.

Speaker 23 Some came to see quarantine,

Speaker 40 exclusion,

Speaker 40 then extermination of an entire people as treatment required so the state could survive.

Speaker 69 Huh. Quarantine, check.

Speaker 15 Exclusion, Facebook, everybody's betting him.

Speaker 39 Check.

Speaker 46 And then the extermination of an entire people as treatment required for state's health.

Speaker 21 Ha.

Speaker 14 Well, at least we haven't had extermination yet.

Speaker 38 Doctors,

Speaker 69 I am pleading with you.

Speaker 42 Do not allow this cancer in.

Speaker 44 You must cut it out and get clean margins.

Speaker 27 You would be a horrible doctor if you left one cancer cell in and were like, well, maybe that cancer cell won't grow.

Speaker 70 you know what

Speaker 40 the skin knows better

Speaker 14 than to let that reproduce and get out of control you know what i talk to you know i talked to the people i said look i left some colon cancer in there a few cells but You're going to know it when it happens.

Speaker 68 Don't worry about it.

Speaker 12 Just come and see me and I'll take it out when it becomes a problem.

Speaker 45 You wouldn't knowingly do that to someone unless you had no other option.

Speaker 9 Critical race theory and anti-racism

Speaker 10 is anti-Martin Luther King

Speaker 28 and anti-Judeo-Christian values.

Speaker 38 You must not allow this to happen.

Speaker 28 Nurses, you must not allow this to happen.

Speaker 38 Psychiatrists,

Speaker 40 you must not allow this to happen.

Speaker 19 It's a firewall.

Speaker 37 Read history.

Speaker 15 Now,

Speaker 12 as if the doctors and the psychiatrists

Speaker 33 are bad enough, wait until I tell you what Joe Biden hid in one of the emergency stimulus packages that you're going to find wonderful.

Speaker 46 Yeah, indoctrination,

Speaker 2 but for who?

Speaker 39 Oh, wait.

Speaker 55 You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 38 Mr.

Speaker 16 Jason Whitlock, who is, of course, a big fan of this program because of all of the heavy, heavy sports talk that I do all the time.

Speaker 36 Welcome, Jason. How are you?

Speaker 39 I'm awesome.

Speaker 52 And I did listen to

Speaker 52 half of your last hour.

Speaker 2 And wow.

Speaker 52 I mean, it was powerful what you were saying. It's frightening what you're saying.
I can relate to what you're saying.

Speaker 52 But I do come here filled with hope and energy. And just I'm the most optimistic I've been in quite some time.

Speaker 60 Who's our little, what are they called, rainbow ponies?

Speaker 13 My little pony, who's going to bring some rainbow in my life right now?

Speaker 3 Thank you for that.

Speaker 17 Tell me why you're hopeful.

Speaker 52 It'll be a name your audience may not recognize initially, but maybe some of them have heard of what's been going on the past 10 days, two weeks.

Speaker 6 Kwame Brown.

Speaker 12 You know that name, Stu?

Speaker 39 Kwame Brown. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 52 Oh, you're paying attention.

Speaker 56 Yes. well, first of all, I know him from back in the basketball days, but also

Speaker 56 he's been mixing it up quite a bit lately.

Speaker 52 He's incredible, and he's a bolt of lightning.

Speaker 52 He's former number one draft pick in 2001 in the NBA, drafted by the Washington Wizards

Speaker 52 on the team that Jordan played two years for the Wizards.

Speaker 20 See, he's saying this for me and about half of the women that are listening.

Speaker 39 And the audience.

Speaker 52 And so, Kwame's reputation in the media has been that he was a bust, that he didn't work out, and he's been kind of a laughingstop for 20 years.

Speaker 52 There's another narrative and a more truthful narrative, the guy's not a bust, that Michael Jordan actually didn't want him on the Wizards and kind of sabotaged his development early those first two years.

Speaker 52 And so, but Kwame is fed up. And so he attacked.

Speaker 12 He's never really spoken out about this. Never.

Speaker 52 Okay. Never.

Speaker 52 I guess he had been doing doing a little YouTube page for about a year, but not really addressing this and not addressing it as passionately and as aggressively as he has over the past two weeks.

Speaker 52 But he started attacking these two guys, Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes, who joked about him on their podcast in the past two weeks and basically continuing the narrative of this guy's a bust and a failure.

Speaker 33 So any jokes that were beyond what had always been said or just the same?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 52 This was the tipping point.

Speaker 52 And the tipping point really is, and people haven't talked about this, Kwame has a 16-year-old son who I think is a sports fan and a bit of an athlete.

Speaker 52 And Kwame's like, hey, man, y'all can't just talk about me like this and my son's listening, my daughter's listening. It's undermining my effectiveness as a dad.

Speaker 52 I'm not going to be a laughingstock forever and just a punching bag for you guys forever. But he's basically gone after Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes in the most aggressive,

Speaker 52 it's profane, it's in your face. He punked these guys, made them apologize.
Then Charlemagne the God, the radio host, the breakfast club that's popular, he jumps in and tries to defend Matt Barnes.

Speaker 52 Kwame Brown goes after Charlemagne the God.

Speaker 52 But just more important than these individual beefs, Kwame is expressing a message about and redefining manhood.

Speaker 52 And it's a message specifically for black people, but it's for everybody's attracted to it. It's about masculinity.

Speaker 52 It's about what really is being a good father and a good representation in the media.

Speaker 22 This does not sound woke.

Speaker 52 No, he is. That's the other thing.
He's not remotely woke. He's actually on the other side.
Huge fan of Thomas Sowell, huge fan of Larry Elder. defended Candace Owens publicly.

Speaker 52 He's unpacking these bigger ideas and about changing this very negative culture that has been defined for black people and we've embraced. And

Speaker 52 black people are loving it. They're running towards him.
He's not being called an Uncle Tom, a coon. He's not being called a sellout.

Speaker 52 They're saying, yes, we've been waiting on someone to say this and represent this in a way that we believe in and so this guy has gone from 10 000 youtube subscribers to 250 000 in 10 days wow 10 000 instagram followers to 175 000 in 10 days people are running to kwame brown and everybody in the black internet space is talking about him and having a reaction and there's been nothing but support and what he he's opening the door even though again it's profane it's not

Speaker 41 you know look i have to tell you something um i used to have to go with my best friend uh who was living with us it was broken family and he lived with us for a while and we'd have to go pick up his dad at the bar we'd get a call from his mom and she'd say could you go pick him up at the bar so we had to go in and he was a bastard he was a son of a bitch and um and we'd have to go in the bar and he'd call us all kinds of names and everything else.

Speaker 69 And it is from that experience that I have, I grew to understand if you want to help somebody, you can't do it outside of the bar.

Speaker 34 You have to be in the bar. You have to be, and you can't even do it in the bar if you're, if you're in there going, and Jesus says you shouldn't drink on Sundays.

Speaker 17 No, no, they're not going to listen to you.

Speaker 53 You have to meet people where they are.

Speaker 52 And he is meeting people exactly where they are. And he's representing working class people of all races.
He's not an elite. He is the opposite.

Speaker 71 He's a plebe.

Speaker 52 He's just, he's anti-elite. And

Speaker 52 there's another version of Kwame Brown that's having amazing success in the internet, YouTube, Instagram space. A guy named Kevin Samuels.
He's not an athlete.

Speaker 52 He's a former businessman who's an image consultant and he's in a suit and tie and saying really the exact same things as Kwame, but he's saying it like he's a college professor or he's some suited up businessman and he's having incredible impact with black people.

Speaker 52 He's a religious guy, member of a church, deacon in a church.

Speaker 52 And

Speaker 52 he and Kwame

Speaker 52 Are they're not working together, but they are working together.

Speaker 52 And they're reaching a massive audience and opening the doors for people like me and others to come in behind and add our take and spin without being cast out as like, oh my God, you're not really for black people.

Speaker 52 It's, I'm hopeful, like, the tide is really turning because these two guys are getting so much support and they're so

Speaker 52 anti-woke.

Speaker 69 Have you seen it? I mean,

Speaker 28 here's, I see people wake up, but they wake up like this.

Speaker 25 Look, I mean, what you're saying, I'm with you.

Speaker 21 You're exactly right.

Speaker 20 It's crazy. It's getting really crazy.

Speaker 69 Why are you whispering to me?

Speaker 15 I don't want anybody to hear me.

Speaker 29 You know, I'm seeing people wake up, but they're not willing to stand up.

Speaker 36 That's not help.

Speaker 45 That's not help.

Speaker 13 Are you seeing people actually stand up and

Speaker 11 clarify why this is right?

Speaker 52 I'll just say this, from what I'm seeing on the internet, people's comments over Instagram, over YouTube, or what they're not whispering it.

Speaker 52 They are shouting, hallelujah, thank God, protect Kwame at all costs. Kevin Samuels is doing the right thing.

Speaker 52 It's passionate, like we've been waiting for this type of content and this type of representation in the media space. And I'm seeing NBA players,

Speaker 52 prominent NBA players, jump jump behind and support Kwame.

Speaker 52 And

Speaker 52 I mean, Kenyon Martin's, another former number one draft pick. He's got some podcasts.

Speaker 71 He

Speaker 52 offered great support of Kwame Brown.

Speaker 52 I've heard from Hall of Fame NBA players personally

Speaker 52 who have, man, you watching what Kwame's doing?

Speaker 49 This is great.

Speaker 52 And, you know, he's, because, look, like, the Steven Jackson guy is connected to George Floyd. He had a relationship with him through childhood, and part of his brand went up in George Floyd's death.

Speaker 52 He gained some more popularity. I know Steven Jackson personally.
I know Matt Barnes personally. They used to come on my TV show on Speak For Yourself.

Speaker 52 Steven Jackson's well-intentioned, but misguided. Matt Barnes is an idiot.
And

Speaker 52 Kwame has called him out in ways that, you know, I don't know if he'll ever recover from. He calls him Becky with the good hair.

Speaker 52 I'm not sure Matt Barnes are going to recover from that.

Speaker 52 But they have basically done this podcast where they're in their 40s. They're acting like they're still gangster tough guys who block.

Speaker 52 And Kwame's like, hey, man, y'all grown men, why are y'all portraying to young people that this gangster lifestyle and mentality is the way for us to go? And

Speaker 71 people,

Speaker 52 it's like their show has been popular, but everybody can spot the ignorance of what they're doing, the degeneracy of what they're promoting.

Speaker 52 And people are glad it's being called out and saying, Look, there's a better way to represent us. Uh, this Kwame Brown, and Kwame Brown is not, he's talented.

Speaker 52 This guy will talk for two hours straight, and he'll be funny, he'll be compelling, he'll be insightful.

Speaker 52 He's talented. And it's like a natural talent.
I don't think anyone's trained him up.

Speaker 52 He just has this huge personality.

Speaker 42 He's a farmer.

Speaker 52 He farms his own land. He owns his own land.

Speaker 52 He made $65 million in NBA. He's not remotely broke, but he lives a working-class lifestyle.
He grows his own food. He gets on a tractor every day.

Speaker 12 There's something about that that changes people, I think.

Speaker 48 I think when you're working with your hands and especially with the soil, you don't lose the connection to the things that are real.

Speaker 52 Yeah, and

Speaker 52 he's not someone that wants to run around with celebrities. He'd rather run around with his brothers or the plumber that comes over to his house.
I mean, he's saying all this, and it's true. He's just

Speaker 52 he calls the little cabal of celebrities that go along the get-along game.

Speaker 52 And he goes, none of them are man enough to stand on their own two feet. They don't know how to take care of themselves

Speaker 52 by themselves.

Speaker 25 And he goes, I want to break all that up.

Speaker 52 I want real men who are

Speaker 5 producing sustainable life stuff.

Speaker 39 He's got to have him on.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's incredible.

Speaker 39 Now, he's getting into it.

Speaker 36 The hell are we talking to you for?

Speaker 15 Why don't we just get him on?

Speaker 39 No, no, no, no.
