Hey, today's

radio show and TV show is just outrageous.

The things that

is happening in our country right now, America is under attack, and you have to be prepared.

Today, you'll see what you're up against.

Something that just came out of the Smithsonian that we highlighted today, and you'll find it at Glennbeck.com.

You can't miss it.

We just, I mean, we talked about it, I think, all the way through the show today.

It was so incredible.

But we also are showing you what is happening in our schools.

We provide some clarity and some answers.

You just don't want to miss an episode of the show, especially this one today, our podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blanca program.

So Charlemagne the God, the host of the Breakfast Club on New York's Power 105 FM.

He is also

a co-worker of mine.

He works for the Premier Radio Networks.

Although I don't think he treated Rush Limbaugh very kindly, I thought what Rush did with Charlemagne about a month ago I thought was really remarkable on an outreach.

And

Charlemagne is just full of himself, but we'll see what happens.

Charlemagne has come out out and

he made a comment on Nick Cannon for his anti-Semitic and anti-white statements.

Now, Cannon

was

he's lost his job with Viacom

because he was supporting conspiracy theories of Jewish control.

He was

talking about the Jews controlling things and how whites and Jews are closer to animals.

I mean, it was remarkable what he said.

So he lost his job.

Now, Charlemagne has decided that Cannon should have known better.

He said, we have all freedom of speech, but we're not free of the consequences of that speech.

Okay, all right, good.

And then he supported the criticism of white people, saying that white people have a history of mass racial violence in this country.

However, he said Cannon should have been careful to discuss his views about Jews.

He said,

because Jews do, in fact,

have the power, end quote.

And that's what you can do when you have the power.

Listen, Nick is my guy.

I'm quoting Nick is my guy.

I hate that it had to be him, but that's what you do when you have the power.

And if there's one thing Jewish people have showed us, it's that they have the power.

Jeez.

Wow.

Okay.

So now is Charlemagne going to be able to get away with that?

I don't know.

I mean, look, I'm at...

Because Jews do have the power.

There you go.

Well, we'll find out, I suppose, because

they're going to come down.

All the Zionist masters will tell us what to say here in a little bit, and we'll know whether he should be canceled or not.

Oh, you didn't get your call yet?

No, not yet.

Why?

Are you you higher in the list than me?

Oh, geez.

Yeah, I'm higher in the list.

You're on the fax list.

I still want to still have an analog fax machine.

You're still there in the analog fax machine, waiting for that fax to come in.

I get the call.

I get the call.

Now that's impressive.

I would say, again, I don't like any of these cancellations for any of these reasons.

No, neither do I.

What you said of like you need to have the consequences of your speech, there's a very tiny subset where I think that applies.

Almost all speech, especially when you're talking about ideas, should be stuff that we talk about.

This is obviously what Nick Cannon said is so far over the line, it's difficult for anybody to justify employing the guy.

And, you know, I mean, he was, people are totally ignoring what he said about white people, which

I don't have any, I don't feel the need to jump to the defense of white people.

Like, that's not, I don't see people in groups.

That's a collectivist idea.

I don't know.

I'm starting to.

Oh, God.

I'm kind of starting to.

Turning to a collectivist.

Did you see what?

No, I'm not turning into a collectivist.

I just think that if we don't start standing up for ourselves,

I think there's a group of people that would like to see us all erased.

I mean, it's getting crazy what's happening.

That's definitely true.

I just don't, I don't, I just don't,

I have much more of the, you know, the view of, I'm an individualist, and I don't see, I i don't see i honestly do not see myself as part of some group i never can i i take 0 percent of who i am out of the color of my skin and i judge people by the color of their skin at a rate of 0 percent that is the correct i'm not saying you should be judging people and

and i agree with you i agree with you i think a lot of jews that went to the gas chamber probably agreed with that as well you know there comes a point to where it really doesn't matter what you think, it kind of matters what the Marxist socialists, what they think.

Right.

Well, I think.

Because once they get power, then they start building, you know, little camps

and

ovens.

That has happened in our history.

It has.

It has happened.

And of course, I'm not saying, like, oh, you know what we should do?

Cede all the power to the Marxists.

That's not the argument I'm making here.

I'm just saying that, like,

you know, I don't feel that like taking some random host of a talent show's job away

does anything to, you know, some

radio host, I think, like, some wide receiver, like taking, taking these jobs away

does not solve the problem.

All it does is make people who believe that stuff more and more angry and give them more and more quote-unquote evidence as if they're being cracked down against.

And this is how they use it, you know?

And I don't think, so I don't, I don't think that stuff actually helps.

I don't think the canceling, you know, if you have people, there are people who have been on the conservative side who have said things that are incredibly offensive and totally wrong.

And those people, you know, get canceled.

And does that help?

Does that make that view go away?

If anything, and you've said this a thousand times, Glenn, and I think you're right on it, it pushes it deeper.

It ingrains it more into their character, and they stop talking about it so you don't even know it's out there.

And then they start making decisions without announcing it.

And

that's not a a good outcome.

So I don't like

this road.

But it is amazing that no one's even mentioning the fact that Nick Cannon was talking about how white people are inherently evil.

That's all I thought.

I thought he had a good point on that.

I mean,

he made a good case when he said white people are evil.

Yeah, I mean,

that's a good case.

I hate white people.

It's hard to punch holes in that one.

Yeah.

So here's what Candace Owen said.

By the way, I agree with you.

Remember, I'm the guy who stood up for Bill Maher

after 9-11.

Where he's like, at least they had courage.

I mean, so I believe in absolute free speech.

I'm a free speech absolutist.

Now, Candace said, I respect Charlemagne the God, but his comment that Nick Cannon's firing proves Jews has the power is off base.

Boy, is she being kind here?

Did hundreds of white people who have been fired over the past few months for disagreeing disagreeing with radical goals of Black Lives Matter prove that we have the power?

Thousands of blacks promoted to comply with BLM.

Thousands of whites fired for disagreeing, and everyone pretend it was cool.

One black man gets fired, and now it's the Jews have the power?

No, I don't think so.

It's a good series of points right there.

I think who has the power right now are the Marxists, are the revolutionaries.

They have moved

into every position of power that is required for them to take our country without a single shot.

The only one that they don't have is the presidency.

That's the last.

That's the last bastion here.

You lose the presidency, you lose the country.

Did you see what happened with the Smithsonian yesterday?

The Smithsonian,

the Smithsonian, with your money.

Now, remember, when I said that the president had a problem with the white culture, everyone went crazy and said, How could you possibly say that?

Well, I should have responded, I don't know.

Check back with me in 10 years.

But this is what I'm talking about.

This is what I was feeling at the time.

It was a misunderstanding or a disconnect with American culture.

I don't think this is white culture, but I think he thought it was white culture.

I think, well, proof is in the pudding.

The people today that are from the same cut of the cloth of Barack Obama

believe this is white culture.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Something that

the Smithsonian released yesterday on white culture.

This is madness.

This is madness, what is going on.

Did you hear Pat about the guy in San Francisco for the MoMA out in San Francisco?

The curator.

What a terrible person this is.

At a staff meeting, he had the nerve, the unmitigated gall

to say that white male artists shouldn't be discriminated against.

That's like reverse discrimination.

You can't do that.

Well, the staff got together and rightly demanded he be fired.

That was non-negotiable.

And he was.

He was fired.

And then, of course, he apologized profusely.

I want to offer my personal and sincere apology to every one of you.

I realized almost as soon as I used the term reverse discrimination that this is an offensive term and was an extremely poor choice of words on that part.

I can't.

Agonizing.

So, for saying that they shouldn't exclude white artists, that white artists should be included as well, you're fired from your museum job.

Yeah.

And you're never going to get another job again, again, right?

You'll never get another museum job again.

And this was said in a meeting about how they were introducing tons of new artists to expand the diversity of the museum.

It was actually, he just threw it as an aside at the end of the meeting.

Like, and I'm not saying we're not going to still continue to put white people in the museum, too.

I mean, obviously.

And then he loses his job.

That official to everybody.

Yeah.

There's

another great one where a white woman in Seattle was being boycotted because she has dreadlocks, a white woman with dreadlocks.

Oh, no, that's cultural appropriation.

Exactly.

Like, listen to some of these quotes.

Not dreadlocks.

Yeah, that's...

Oof.

No one has confronted her about her choice to willfully appropriate black hairstyling is highly problematic.

Oh, my God.

I love this.

Because this is an easy thing to hit.

Until racial equity is achieved in wealth, politics, education, and work,

white people should not be wearing dreads out of love, solidarity, and respect for black people.

At least, this is my current understanding.

And we should all note that as soon as his current understanding changes, it will be applied to everyone retroactively, even though we don't know what the standard is yet.

But when his understanding does change, we'll all be held accountable to that new standard.

This is insane.

And she

has to as well profusely apologize.

I have come to understand far too belatedly that my hairstyle is harmful.

No, it isn't.

By the way, isn't it a stereotype?

You've never been harmed by a hair.

That only blacks have been.

You've never been harmed by a hairstyle.

No, I actually haven't.

No.

And I didn't realize that it was okay to say only blacks have dreadlocks.

Yeah.

I thought that was a stereotype.

There's another one, a vegan, this thing on vegan white supremacy.

And now vegans

this are in this pattern of calling themselves white supremacists because there's apparently too many white vegans i it's it's very difficult to understand i went through it last night on studos america are they forcing blacks not to be vegans no

and in fact it starts with explaining that more blacks are vegan than whites so i don't understand okay oh my god they go through this whole thing and they mention this one group

um thug kitchen Is the name of it?

Now, Thug Kitchen was developed, I guess, I've never heard of it, but it was, you know, from about six or seven years ago.

And it was a combination basically of vegan recipes, cookbooks and such, with like an attitude, right?

So there's lots of swearing basically in the middle of your recipes for whatever reason.

Like a pinch of effing sauce.

Yeah, like exactly.

It's that type of stuff.

I don't know.

It's a brand.

I don't even understand.

So apparently it becomes very popular in this community.

And then

people start saying

which community students.

The vegan community.

The white supremacist vegan community, obviously.

White supremacist.

So they become very popular, and they're selling all these cookbooks.

And then people start, these think pieces start coming out in all these publications about how they are, I believe Vice said they were benefiting from a form of digital blackface

because

the word digital blackface was in their title.

Now, to me, it's racist to associate.

Why are you associating thug with black people?

I never have.

That's on me.

I never had.

That's not on me.

I didn't say that.

You're still.

Can I tell you something?

I can say this because I'm white and I'm married to Italians, but when I thought of a thug kitchen, I thought of a get out of here kind of thing.

I thought of a thug, you know, a mafia kind of guy.

Right, yeah, yeah.

And that's the thing.

Like, it's completely racist to, when you hear the word thug, to associate it with black people.

However, these guys, these two, this, it's a, it's two, two people, they had to change it to, I think it's called Bad Manners Food, they went and they settled on.

Oh my gosh.

Which, I mean, at some point, someone's going to say bad manners is also associated with some group, and you're going to get pissed about that.

But so they had to change their name, and this big, again, profuse, embarrassing apology about how we fought this for too long, and we are so sorry to the community.

Blah, blah, blah.

It is insane.

It is like a strain of, like, I don't know if COVID causes insanity, but it is affecting all of us.

Is it not crazy how when Paulina, the righteous among the nations, the woman that was 16 years old and started saving Jews in Poland,

isn't it crazy how her words ring in your head, at least they do mine, all the time now.

The righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.

They just refused to go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

I'm looking at these things, and you don't have to be a hero.

You just have to say, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

No, I'm not going to agree with that.

I mean, look at Terry Crew.

Only black people can have dreadlocks because it's racist if a white.

Okay, no, I'm not going to agree with that.

Thug kitchen, that's racist.

No, I'm not going to agree with that.

Damn.

I'm not with the opponent.

It's ridiculous.

I mean, look at Terry Cruz over the past week, who's getting destroyed because he came out and said, you know, I'm just going to judge people on, I don't care what their skin color is, I'm just going to, you know,

deal with people who I think are good people regardless of skin color.

And he's getting bashed for that.

That used to be like the basis of being a human being in a good standing, right?

Like, that's just like a very basic belief that we all understand.

It was the foundation of what MLK was saying to people.

He would be in leftist jail right now.

Horrified.

Glenn, how long?

Until they're tearing down statues of Martin Luther King because he keeps it halfway.

Because he said that.

They've already defaced it.

They've already defaced one of them.

They already have.

Martin Luther King is not part of this.

He is not part of this.

There was another one that I want to share with you today.

Another couple of words that you can't say.

The Rolling Stone senior writer, Jamal Smith,

said yesterday that he believes the word pro-life, two words,

has so often been used in service to racism and misogyny that that it should be retired like the name Redskins.

So now he wants pro-life.

Pro-life.

Are you kidding me?

That's racist?

You know what's racist?

Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood.

And you are exactly the kind of person that Margaret Sanger knew she would find.

If we can just not let the African American know that we're targeting their community, they'll work with us to destroy and liquidate the African-American community.

That's racist.

That's Margaret Sanger.

You want to say that the people who are saying, do you know how many black geniuses, how many black inventors, how many black heroes have been killed because of abortion?

I'm proudly pro-life.

And you're going to call me racist for that?

Have at it.

I'm not going over the cliff with you, dude.

16

million blacks have been killed since 1973 in abortion.

16 million more people that we would have with us today, and then and their children, and maybe even grandchildren by now.

You think about it, it grows exponentially, and they don't care about any of that.

That's not an issue for them.

You have to, I mean, the same thing that I think was going on in 1965 and 64 with Johnson, the same thing that was going on back then, I think is happening right now.

I think

these guys,

these white guys, are corralling all these black guys and using them, using them to destroy them.

What do you think's going to happen when you destroy the nuclear family?

What do you think's going to happen?

We've already seen it.

The leftists, the progressives destroyed the black family.

Destroyed it.

When you see the poverty numbers, I'm going to go over them and I went over it last night.

When you see the poverty numbers

and how

when you actually have a mother and father in the house, black poverty beats

beats, or black wealth beats white wealth.

The number of people in poverty that are married and white is 10%.

The poverty rate for blacks who are married is 7%.

If you're not married, it's like 30%.

Why is that happening?

Well, it wasn't like that in 1963.

Sure, wasn't it?

But by 1965, it all started to happen because they did this by design.

The people who you are in bed with right now

are the ones that did it in the 1960s.

They're the ones that set up Planned Parenthood in the 1920s.

What is wrong with people?

Open your eyes and do some reading for the love of Pete.

But that's why they don't want us to talk.

That's why they want to make sure that you are too afraid to

ask any question.

I give you this as my testimony that you are an individual graced with intelligence by God.

You're here for a reason.

You're smart enough to figure it out.

And by God, Thomas Jefferson's words are right.

Question with boldness, even the very existence of God.

Now remember, in his day, that was the thing you couldn't question.

You couldn't question God.

And he said, question even the very existence of God.

For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

You have a responsibility to yourself, to your life, to your children, and dare I say it, to your country and all those who died for the freedom that we are so

quick to

toss in the trash.

You have a responsibility.

Question with boldness.

And anyone who says, you can't ask that, you can't say that,

you say to them, I'm not going over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

This is the best of the Glen Beck program.

It's Black Lives Inc.

now with $1.6 billion.

Billion dollars.

Their mission is to dismantle cisgender privilege and the nuclear family structure.

That's just one of their Marxist ideas.

But it is one that is on their website, and you can read about it.

And they're not the only ones targeting the family.

I want you to understand this is well coordinated and well financed.

And Spooky Dude is hanging around all of these.

Well

financed and well coordinated and well-placed soldiers.

Good old-fashioned American elite progressives have decided that the family needs to be put down.

So where's it coming from?

And what do they want?

Well, we know it's coming from the college professors.

I'm going to share some stuff with you next hour that you need to know about our college system.

It's been established that Marxists are out in force now beating the drum of

the end of capitalism, the end of the American standard, the American way of life, and the family.

Now, they're doing this by taking advantage of the evil system to stay in business.

And they insist that America clearly needs to get rid of capitalism.

And according to the feminist professor Sophia Lewis, the only way to do it is to abolish the family.

She said, that's something I want to challenge.

The ideas that babies belong to anyone.

The idea that the product of a gestational labor gets transferred as property to a set of people.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

She says nuclear families are for training us up to be workers, training us to be inhabitants of a binary gendered and racially stratified system, training us not to be queer.

Wow, I didn't think you could be trained not to be queer.

I would support policies that expand the number of people who are socially and legally recognized as central fundamental players in the constitution of a person.

In her view, families help perpetuate capitalism, passing wealth and property through the family trees, concentrating wealth, causing all of the impression in the world.

And if you just get rid of the traditional family, you'll get rid of capitalism.

Then the collective state can raise all of the kids, and we just get one giant happy communist family.

Isn't that great?

Now, her idea is: it's not just her, she's not alone, and she's not original.

She and others are just repackaging Marx and Engels.

It's no surprise that she would be doing this since she was the one who translated into English the German book, Communism for Kids.

Hey, kids, look what we're gonna read tonight.

Yay!

Capitalism is not the only problem, however,

with families, of course.

Then it's your insane family privilege.

You have to get rid of that, too.

George Mason University professor Bethany Latique says, Our society values and privileges heterosexual marriages over other relationships,

but not by recognizing and valuing diverse family configurations under the law.

Some family forms are delegitimized and marginalized.

They are disadvantaged.

Married couples are the beneficiaries of privilege, and it's unduly and unfairly enriched.

The marriage institution was designed by white heterosexual men to maintain their power and social economic dominance and control over the other.

You know, I think it was ordained by God, but,

you know, what do I know?

So, if you're keeping track so far, the major evils caused by the family, capitalism, and white heterosexual supremacy.

But those are just a couple of kooky professors, right?

Well,

let me tell you, first of all, I got those quotes from a new organization called Family Story.

It's a five-year-old think tank in Washington, D.C., founded by a woman named Nicole Rogers.

She says we could get rid of those annoying nuclear families if it weren't for those darn evangelical groups like Focus on the Family and Family Research Council.

She blames them for stifling the feminist movement, pushing biblical traditional family values, and attacking abortion.

Okay, so more abortion, less Christians, no Bible, no families.

Wow, this looks great.

She says this is just antiquated to describe old-fashioned marriage between a man and a woman in love.

She says if we just stop promoting traditional marriage, we could get rid of all of the inequality in America.

Now, the top priority of her little think tank called Family Story is exposing the traditional family machine and its harms.

And she's got all kinds of videos that kids can watch.

It's wonderful.

Another family story priority is research, coming up with their own studies that help their narratives, like this study I think is good.

The case against marriage fundamentalism, embracing family justice for all documents

for all documents how conservatives, with the help from centrists and liberals, have promoted the supremacy of the married family to the detriment of historically marginalized people and progressive policy goals.

According to Family Story, the nuclear family is a dubious institution promoted by Christians and conservatives.

Now, she also works with journalists.

Isn't that great?

To get rid of offensive jargon of family formation like out of wedlock birth,

can't have any of that.

Family Story promotes every type of family imaginable except for the traditional family.

They have major ties with far-left players and causes.

The advisory board is made up of three women: Brianna Cotter, who is the head of social impact at Viacom, CBS, and entertainment brands.

So she's pumping all of this kind of stuff into MTV

and other channels that she has access to.

Also, Family Story has another advisor.

Her name is Julie Kohler.

She's the senior advisor at Democracy Alliance, the largest network of donors dedicated to building the progressive movement in the United States.

We talked about them on a couple of shows like two Wednesdays, I think, past.

It is a group that was started by, say it with me, George Soros in 2005.

He got a group of 70 millionaires and billionaires to get progressives elected and further a socialist agenda.

The third Family Story member is Simone Ward, a political consultant who was actually the Florida state director for Hillary for America.

She'll never shake that.

She also served as the vice president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of New York.

So, Family Story is a social impact agency called Purpose, which was founded by an Australian who also co-founded Avaz.org.

That's another organization receiving funding from George Soros to become the global counterpart to moveon.org, and it pushes far-left policies around the world, including anti-Israeli propaganda.

All of this,

all of this, is happening right now.
