Trip Planner by Expedia.
You were made to outdo your holiday,
your hammocking,
and your pooling.
We were made to help organize the competition.
Expedia, made to travel.
Hey, it's a great podcast for you.
Today, Bill O'Reilly is here.
We talk about the latest on the border,
the latest insanity from Joe Biden, including the tax hikes that are coming.
We talk about the heroin heroin that is being pumped into our system with critical race theory, and I'll show you what's happening in Virginia today to parents who are standing up against critical race theory being taught.
I'll compare it to what was happening in California with the Klan.
And you tell me there's a difference.
Don't forget Blazetv.com slash Glenn is the place to go to subscribe to Blaze TV.

I can't forget that.
No, you can't forget it.
Oh, it's a dot com.
It's a dot-com address.
I wish I could buy a mug or a t-shirt.
You can.
Shut up.
Yes.
At an affordable price?
Sort of.
You're not the best at selling.
Oh.
You're listening to
the best of the Blenbeck program.
The news of the day, proof that we do not live in the Matrix yet.
Because it would be a much happier place.
Wouldn't you be happy if you found out, no, you're living in the Matrix?
Really?
As long as when I was pulled out of the Matrix, it's.
It wasn't worth it.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I think in this case, it might be worse.
Yeah.
Welcome to Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed and the home of the Impossible to Remember cookie company.
It is not impossible to remember.
It's Kexie
Cookies.
Yeah, my wife says K-E-K-S-I.
My wife said,
What does Kexi?
And I said, it's Finnish for cookies.
And she said, well, the Finns will be happy.
Are you shipping a lot to Finland?
She says.
A lot of them.
85% of our business is today.
Helsinki.
They're really good.
Really?
Yeah.
It's weird.
It's an odd choice.
Well, I mean, you know, if you're Finnish, you might be online looking for cookies.
Yeah.
And it's Texi, and that's the first thing that comes up.
Yeah.
Sorry we went with something meaningful to our family.
Yeah, well,
my son served a mission there, if you're not aware.
That's why he...
Ah, okay.
And he's the president of the company.
Really?
Yes.
And a member?
And a member.
And a member.
Isn't that something?
Yeah, it is.
I mean, but, you know, he doesn't do all the work himself.
No, I was.
In fact, I think we have a picture of Pat doing the work in a hair net.
Do we have the there he is in a hair net?
There I am.
That's a good look.
That's a good look for you and
it is.
How come you don't have a hair net over your face for the beard?
The beard, beard hair could go right there.
Face nets?
I don't know.
I think for you that you need to have one.
You need to have one.
But today we go nationwide.
Today is the day that anywhere in the nation, you can order Kexie cookies at kexi.com.
And that's, of course, let's pretend you didn't have to.
The best best cookies on earth.
K-E-K-S-I.
Yeah.
They are the best cookies on Earth.
They are the best.
They are.
Despite the name, they are the best.
Yes, they are really good.
It is really good.
We ordered,
I shouldn't say, but a lot of cookies.
A lot of cookies just yesterday.
Yeah, we have
visitors.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Are you monitoring my cookies?
Yes, we're watching everything you do.
Really?
Yeah.
My gosh, when did you turn into cookies?
Cookie company/slash intelligence agency.
By the way, Glenn, turn your heat down.
Never mind.
We just did.
We did it for you.
So, Pat.
Yes.
Here we are at the end of the week.
A memorable week, huh?
A memorable week.
A memorable week.
Yes.
And what is the story that we may have missed or you think we really need to hit?
Well, we hit this a little bit yesterday, but I was kind of dumbfounded by the root author and his claim about white people should be eliminated like a virus from the earth.
And why were you.
I'm just thinking maybe we need to put a stop to this kind of talk.
Why is that okay?
Can you imagine if a white person wrote something similar about any minority group,
what kind of outrage there'd be?
There'd be no outrage because of systematic racism.
Okay.
White people have all the power.
All of the power.
And
I just saw a story from
the UN Secretary General saying that
right-wing
terrorism is becoming a pandemic.
It's growing in power circles and at the political level.
And I thought to myself, of course, he's onto us.
That's why we have all this power.
Yeah.
Yeah, we are really listened to very carefully, aren't we?
People are doing everything we say.
Everything we say.
That's why it wouldn't be a big deal.
Maybe white people should be eliminated.
I got this from
Ali Paca, who was talking about our college class.
They made everybody in the class take a how white privilege, how white privileged you are test.
And some of the questions on the test are just,
well, it shows you the kind of privilege you have.
I can go shopping and not worry that I will not be followed or harassed or assumed to be stealing.
We hear that all the time.
Not necessarily.
I can turn on the television or go to the movies and see people of my race in a wide variety of roles.
Yeah, lately,
lately I see a lot of different people
from me.
Most magazines have pictures of people like me.
No, what, big fat people?
No, no, that's not, they don't.
They do not.
Not elderly, really.
Elderly fat people.
Right, right.
There's not a lot of those.
Yeah, no.
I can go into a hairdresser shop and find someone who can cut and fix my kind of hair.
Can blacks and Hispanics not go into a hairdresser and have have
be able to fix their hair?
Hispanics can.
Blacks have different hair.
But I mean, most places you would go would be able to deal with that, right?
I mean, I don't know.
I know
this has been a long-term complaint, apparently.
I remember they did a, there was some
Oscar-winning short film about this, like about how difficult it was to get your hair cut.
I mean, I would culturally,
I would assume that if we went to countries overseas,
if we went to a place where the cultural norm, potentially 80% of the population was, you know, had different hair than us, we might have some difficulty finding that as well.
I don't know.
Holy cow.
Listen to that.
I know.
Every other country is better than this one.
That's not true.
Every other country.
I don't care if you're the only one.
You can go into any place.
Really?
So they're all experts on
a cookie store and they will.
They can cut your hair.
Really?
Yeah, no matter what race you are or your hairstyle.
In In every other country.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They catch it all in a hairnet, though, because
they don't want the hair in the cookies.
That's still.
You don't want that?
Yeah.
All right.
If I swear or dress in old clothes, people don't say or think all people of my race are rude or bad.
Is that a thing, too?
Like if a black person would swear.
Would you think, oh my gosh, all black people are bad?
It's so never.
No, I literally ridiculous.
When I hear people say that I'm going to swear
and act poorly, I just think all people are so bad.
Like, you think of the, if
you walk by a group of white people and they're all swearing, you think they're terrible, right?
That's just, I mean, like, that's just what you do.
It's bad behavior.
So, but here's the thing.
If a black person does it, do you think anything of something about the entire race?
No, of course not.
But no.
But wait, wait, wait.
Let's accept that all of these are true.
Just for now.
No, but for the sake of argument,
accept that all of these are true.
Okay.
Look what the culture is now doing.
They're not saying these aren't true.
Look at us.
Let us hold up the highlights of our society.
What they're saying now is you deserve that treatment.
Instead, they're, I mean, read, start at the beginning again.
See if these aren't all being done to white people right now.
I can go shopping and not worry that I'll be followed.
Probably not.
Turn on the television or go to the movies to see people of my race and a wide variety of roles.
No, I have a hard time.
That's such a weird.
I don't understand that one, frankly.
I don't know.
I mean, I'm look, I'm a white dude.
Maybe that's why I don't understand it.
Privilege.
We went to a festival here in Texas.
I guess it was when they allowed them.
Whenever we were.
1918.
I don't know.
I remember when I was a kid.
And
it was called a dessert festival.
And I was like, that's me.
How am I not at a dessert festival?
So I immediately bought tickets to the dessert festival.
So you didn't call me.
I don't understand.
I never understand.
And it was a relatively long drive from where we work here.
And we went to the place and we walked, we got out of our car and walked into the festival.
And we were the only white people
in the entire festival.
That's a crap.
You did notice it when you walked in because you're not blind.
However, at no point, I mean, and they had cultural differences.
I remember seeing a Michael Jackson impersonator going around and taking pictures with the kids.
And I thought to myself, that wouldn't happen
in a lot of areas in this country, considering I'm pretty sure he was molesting children.
It was a weird thing for me to see.
But it was a different, it was a cultural difference.
There was that's how hard it is for blacks to get jobs.
They have to play Michael Jackson.
I mean, you think about this.
You've gone all this work.
You've nailed a Michael Jackson impersonation.
And then all of a sudden...
You're like, come on.
Come on.
Come on.
This is, by the way, post-documentary that came out on HBO.
Wow.
So,
he's going around, like, every kid is like, oh, they're taking a picture.
I'm like, wow, that's, you know what?
Ironic.
Kids, you're not going to be taking a picture with that particular impersonator.
But I mean, it was really enjoyable.
At no point did I feel like I was
being looked at or I was out of place.
You just, I mean, I don't think, you don't think about those things unless you prioritize race as the number one thing in your life.
And apparently we're supposed to now.
Well,
I think this is the way it was probably back in the 60s and 70s and before that.
But in the 80s and 90s and
2000s, it's yeah.
When I was a kid, it probably would have been that way.
Maybe.
Yeah, when I was a little kid.
But it wasn't like that in the 90s and the
day.
A friend of my wife's messaged her the other day.
Her kids in public school and pretty young,
you know, like to the, you know, six or seven.
And they got into some of this critical race theory stuff already in the school, apparently.
And
before.
Where does she live?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Before this happened, you know, just like I know my kid, like never notice it.
Like they don't, they might notice that they look different or have they, but they're carefully taught.
They have to be carefully taught to be a racist, right?
And so again, like that this kid is a racist, but is now coming home and saying, that person has black skin.
That person has brown skin.
It's now like the thing they're talking about all the time because this has started it.
Like, this has launched them into starting to think about the differences of race and starting to use that as a way to separate in their mind
how people are and what they do.
And it's like that was never the case before this training that they're receiving at public schools.
By the way, did you see that the California State School Board has now approved curriculum?
It's mandatory that every high school student have at least one
class of critical race theory.
Oh, incredible.
It's mandatory.
Gotcha.
Incredible.
And this is again, I keep bringing this up, but we keep yelling and yelling.
Open up the schools.
Why?
Yeah.
Look at, look, there's Chris Ruffo had another article.
I'm going to go to your home and teach your kids there.
Anything you can do.
We went to Chris Ruffo has another story that I think came out yesterday in the City Journal.
I think it was North Carolina.
And same type of thing.
Young kids being taught all sorts of things about how if you're white, you're bad.
You know, you should, everybody's a racist.
All of these things are being taught in these schools that we as conservatives keep demanding they open as a top priority.
Now, look.
Because of COVID and all of the science behind it, these schools should be open.
They should not be closed for these reasons, and these teachers' unions are a big part of that.
But like, what are we wishing for here?
We do story after story after story about how terrible these schools are, and then we all beg for them to open.
Like everything you can do, not everyone can do it.
I understand that.
Everything you can do to try to figure out a different solution.
So listen to this.
In Virginia, a group of teachers and parents in Northern Virginia
were
outed, if you will.
They were going after parents that said no to the inclusion of critical race theory.
And they allegedly were targeted for retaliation, according to Daily Wire.
The Virginia Project announced plans for legal action after members of an anti-racist Facebook group with 624 members sought to compile a document of all known actors and supporters and intended to expose these people publicly.
This is, you know, this is exactly what the Klan did.
Sarah, call call Mercury One in the vault and see if you can get the card from the Klan on the number of people and the faces of the people that needed to be killed by the Klan.
Jeez.
It's an amazing thing.
It's exactly the same tactic.
It's exactly the same.
Incredible.
Thank you, Pat.
Thanks for dropping by.
It is Friday.
What's that website there, Pat?
Kexi.com.
K-E-K-I-I-C.
So difficult.
It's not K-E-K-S-I-L.
Well, it's five full letters.
It is.
It is.
Well, I mean,
they say that Finnish is a, you know, a difficult language.
A difficult and a dying language.
But I say
hold on to it because soon it's going to sweep the world.
There's five million Finns who are holding on to it.
Hold on to it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
There's five million people in this city alone.
I double name.
The best of the Glen Bank program.
The new
what's his name?
Cumberbunch.
Benjamin Cumberbunch.
Benedict Cumberbatch?
Yes, that's the guy.
His new movie is coming out.
It looks really good.
The Courier.
I think it's a Cold War story.
Okay.
You haven't seen it?
I've not seen any previews for it.
Yeah.
But I'm in.
It sounds interesting.
You know, I'm
Tanya and I, I'm waiting for the theaters to open up.
That's one of our favorite things to do is to go to movies
and then walk out and talk about how pissed off we are at Hollywood for everything.
And then we're over it by the next Friday.
We go out to see another movie.
You are interesting in that way.
You get really pissed off at sodas when they do something you don't like.
But like the movies, you don't care.
You'll just keep going back to them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a jean company.
If they run a commercial you don't like, you will never buy buy them again and you'll stick to it.
Yeah.
But like, you know, you have not bought a pair of Levi since.
Right.
Yeah.
But like you could have 19 communists in a movie and you're like, let me, how do I spend $20 to watch you?
Right.
Because I, you know, I grew up expecting them to be communist.
They meet my expectations.
Right.
You know, promise versus performance.
Yeah, okay.
You know, if you're going in and you're expecting Americans to be making movies, no.
No.
No.
But if you go in going, these are all Russian spies, you're cool.
That's a good starting point.
You're totally cool.
They can't let you down.
Yeah, by the way, what's her name that was in Princess Bride?
She had the new movie In the Woods or All Alone or something like that.
She played the princess in Princess Bride.
Robin Wright?
Yeah, Robin Wright.
Robin Wright pennies.
Speaking of communists.
Yeah.
We saw her movie a couple of weeks ago.
Really good.
I get it.
Really, really good.
These movies need to start coming out.
And like they, they're starting to move them up now.
I don't know if you've seen this.
Yeah.
The Black Spider, Black Widow, or whatever it it is.
They're starting to move up.
Yeah, the
Quiet Place 2.
It might be in theaters.
Quiet Place 2, too.
Yeah, that moved that up as well.
I think to Memorial.
Disney said they're not, they don't think that it's ever going to go back to theatrical release alone.
That's probably the right thing at this point.
Yeah.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
So in Virginia, as in all over the country, parents have started to rise up.
If you thought Common Core was bad, what's being shoved down the throats of our children in all of our schools now with critical race theory is a thousand times more dangerous than Common Core.
And Common Core was really bad.
This is poison.
And in Virginia, parents have gotten together and they are opposing the critical race theory.
It's called CRT.
They don't want it taught in the schools where their children are.
Well,
apparently,
the anti-racist Facebook
with
624 members, which includes parents and teachers,
were compiling
names and addresses.
In fact, let me say, please comment below.
This is what was posted.
Please comment below with the legal names of those individuals trying to stop CRT, the area of residence, and/or the school board rep known, known accounts on social media, and any other information you feel is relevant.
Well, what do you think that's all about?
They are targeting parents who say this is wrong and teachers are involved.
You've got to stop putting all teachers into the good category.
It's time now for teachers to show us, are you on the right side?
Stand with us against critical race theory.
If you don't, I'm sorry.
You're not on the right side.
You say, well, I can't lose my job.
Yeah, well, I could lose my children.
I could lose my children.
And maybe you don't understand the damage, but all you have to do is read.
So now they're being targeted.
Now, this is happening in the South.
This is happening in Virginia.
Let me show you something that we have in the vault, and I'll describe it to you if you are listening to us.
If you're watching us on Blaze TV, you will see radical members of
I think it says GOP Legislature or the Georgia legislature.
It's California?
Sorry, I can't see it.
It's so far away.
Radical members of the California legislature.
And you will see that there is, what do you think, 25, 30 people pictured in this?
This is a very old card from the 1800s.
And you will see there are black people and white people.
About half of them are black.
Most of them are white.
Doesn't it appear that way to you?
Yeah.
At least half of them are white.
Well,
what is this?
This was a card that was given out to
people
at Klan meetings.
If you see on the back, it lists who they are.
This was a polite hit list.
Now, the Klan always denied that.
But how do you think they found the people they wanted to lynch?
All of these people were Republicans.
If you don't know the history of the Klan, you should.
It was started
by the Democratic Party as an enforcer.
Those who were
GOP members at the time, that meant that you were against slavery and you were fighting,
you know, to end racism
and they were losing so they needed somebody to scare people this is terrorism
and they actually printed these cards up will you tell me the difference between that card show it again with the pictures that card you see these people
What do you think this is just so they could see what they looked like?
Why would you want to see what they look like?
this is a list of names and their faces if you see this person target them kill them
that's what the clan did
now what is the difference between that
a philosophy of do whatever it takes to shut these people down because they disagree
with us
They think
they think freedom for everybody.
What's the difference between that Klan card and what these people are doing, these teachers are doing in Virginia?
They are making a list,
exposing these people,
showing them why.
Why do you have a list?
Why do you have a list?
At best, to harass them.
At best, to scare them.
You want to talk about
organized violence and teaching people to be violent.
It isn't coming from the GOP.
And if it is in any shape or form, I and the vast majority, 99% of my audience, would condemn it.
This
is being done in Virginia and no one is saying anything.
There is no difference from what was happening back in the 1800s with the Klan and what's happening right now and for the same reasons.
The Klan was racist.
Critical race theory is racist and teaching our children to hate people based on their color.
It's the same story.
