Best of The Program | 6/8/20

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest-paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Welcome to the podcast.

It's Stu back here from Vacation with Glenn Beck today.

Well, look, what are you talking about?

Of course, there's the massive reaction to George Floyd's death.

And, you know, that happened right before I went on break.

Obviously went out of control last week.

We get into the reaction about it here.

Van Jones has an op-ed, which I'm sure you're going to appreciate.

Drew Brees is going to apologize apparently every day for the rest of his life.

And every every family member is going to denounce him.

We'll get into that for some reason today.

Also,

Black Lives Matter, what does their organization actually believe?

It's a heck of a lot different than what you're hearing on the media.

As well as the Tom Cotton New York Times op-ed, which, you know, apparently you can just never be woke enough.

We'll get into the details on that as well.

You can go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

In an incredible development, Stu Does America will be back on tonight with brand new episodes talking about

all the stuff going on with the riots.

Basically, a lot.

It's been interesting to do this because, you know, being off, you have a chance to kind of sit back and not have to react every day.

Kind of let it distill a little bit.

And we'll get into all the details of what we learned over the past week.

As well as you can check that out as well as the podcast.

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

First of all, Stu, how was your vacation?

It was good.

People kept saying, like, oh, I can't believe you took this week off, like, oh, with all this stuff going on.

And I said, this is exactly the week I want off.

First of all, I don't have to follow every in and out of, you know, cities burning to the ground.

And secondly, I don't have to tolerate three hours every day of Glenn Becks saying, I told you so, over and over and over and over again, which I assume was the entire program last week.

Am I wrong on that?

I don't think we said that at all, did we, Pat?

No, we didn't say that.

No, I don't think.

No, he didn't say that.

No, I don't think so.

I kept thinking to myself, because I sit in this room and we have this big chalkboard in front of us that has all the presidential names still on it, as if the election's even a story in this country anymore.

And it takes up two-thirds of the chalkboard, or all these presidential names, and now all of them have dropped out, except, of course, for Biden.

And then, only in this left chunk is this four-step thing that Glenn put up at, I think, what was it, the beginning of or mid-last year?

I don't remember exactly when you moved it.

Mid-last last year.

Yeah.

And it has four steps.

And I don't know.

I've noticed a couple of them.

See if anyone else has heard of

economic destabilization.

Has there been any of that that has happened?

No.

The next one, polarization slash civil unrest.

I mean, is anyone, was there any word of that over the tech disruption, which is a whole nother thing we need to get into?

And then trust implosion, which is seemingly already completely.

Defund the police.

Dismantle the police.

Just turning off the police department of Minneapolis.

It's a great idea.

Yeah.

So I assumed that was basically going to make up the entirety of the show.

So I was very pleased to be on vacation, to miss you.

Did we even go over that list at all last year?

No, we didn't.

No, we should have.

No, we didn't.

Because that was like a central part of your idea as to what was coming over the next year.

You talked over and over again about how this would be the summer of rage.

And I don't know.

I mean, I guess, is it technically summer yet?

Not quite.

So maybe

the spring of rage is technically accurate, I suppose.

But I've been talking about

a summer of rage.

I will tell you, I've been talking about a summer of rage coming for a while.

And, you know, when we got to 2020 and I saw what was happening with the Supreme Court, I'm like, okay,

this is the summer of rage.

But I've been expecting this to come for a while.

So I've been wrong always on the timing of it.

You know, I don't want to claim that I was right because I've been saying it for a while.

However, this is it, man.

This is it.

And I think you're going to have the fall of rage as well because of what's happening in Minneapolis.

You have been warning about 1968 for how long?

A long time, actually.

And I mean, we're past.

This is worse than 1968.

I'm not.

It's worse.

We don't have the assassination.

Exactly right.

I mean, I was only eight years old at the time, but I mean,

I don't think there was the total division that there is now.

It's just

so divided.

It was divided, but what you did have was you had some institutions that still people still trusted.

They still trusted their churches.

Half of America still trusted the presidency.

They trusted the military.

They trusted the police.

And so you didn't have that division.

But

imagine even having a candidate today like RFK, you know, one that really was providing hope and was a good guy

and shot.

And then Martin Luther King shot all within a couple of months from each other.

I mean, can you imagine what that would do?

There is no Martin Luther King today.

And there is no RFK today.

That's the difference, I think, is there were leaders of real hope back then.

And people weren't as,

you know, people still believed in God.

They still believed in having hope and the American way

would make things better.

I don't think that people think that anymore.

And

I don't think people have caved in.

I don't think people caved in back then to the will of the left like they've caved in now.

I've never seen anything like this where everybody's genuicing to them.

If I don't see Drew Brees' children

and the people who are maybe saving some of his wife's eggs at the sperm center or whatever, if I don't see those people apologizing for the eggs from her or the sperm from him,

I guess I won't be able to believe that he's sincere.

Stop apologizing.

Do you keep female eggs at a sperm center?

Is that where you would keep them?

I don't know.

It seems like an odd title for a place that would

be a good place to do it, too.

That is unbelievable.

I mean, the Roger Goodell statement

might be the most

pandering.

And like, I'm a defender generally of the NFL.

Goodell, I think, gets a worse rap than even he deserves.

I mean, people are so too thick.

But like, this is the ultimate example, Glenn, and we've seen it a thousand times, where a CEO, a head of an organization, looks at

the landscape and just says,

I mean, what's the upside of even bothering with the truth?

Let's just say what they want us to say.

That's like where he is.

You can almost see the defeatism in his,

yeah, we were wrong.

We apologize.

You know, the kneeling thing is fantastic.

He's going to be kneeling.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He'll be at the first game kneeling with Drew Brees.

And they will both kneel during the national anthem.

Drew Brees won't do it.

What did he say?

He won't do it.

I have a veteran in my family, and I don't want to disrespect the flag, so I wouldn't want to do anything that risked it.

Wasn't that awful?

Oh, my God.

What a terrible person.

Gosh, what a terrible guy this guy is.

You take it back, or we'll beat you to death.

Yeah.

Well, okay.

No, I take it back.

Yeah.

And Mike Ward's at the sperm center say, take it back, too.

Yeah.

My sperms all apologize.

All All million, all million of my potential children are apologizing today.

We should start a Twitter.

We should start a Twitter handle that Drew Bree's sperm number one, sperm number two.

It's all apologize.

I'm sorry, sperm.

I think he's only got two, based on what I've seen the last few days.

There are not

a lot of people.

I read a story about how these big businesses now have just declared Black Lives Matter the winner.

And they are all now starting their advertising campaigns to endorse and everything else.

And I got news for you.

You better hope that's the winning side.

I mean, actually, no, if you were smart, you'd realize they'll come for you after they finish with us.

But you better hope that's the winning side because

you're taking the side of the

rioters.

I don't relate to you at all anymore.

I don't relate to your product as being anything that I desire or want.

Yeah,

they're so hypocritical.

First, you have

these protests happening around the country, and these super progressive companies like Apple, who are on the forefront of saying, you know, we believe in all of this.

They're the first ones boarding up their stores when a protest comes to the town.

I saw one interview last week, I think it was in Missouri, of all of these kids that were saying, you know, we got to burn them all to the ground.

Apple, Google, that's part of the slavery system, blah, blah, blah.

And every single protester was holding their iPhone while they were saying it.

Amazing.

It is incredible, isn't it?

I can't.

It's just

amazing.

We're going to talk next hour about Minnesota getting rid of the police department.

There's a genius idea.

Well, that's the thing, too.

Every once in a while, things happen.

People give you presents and you just forget to write a thank-you card.

The right, Donald Trump in particular, everybody who thinks anything that could possibly be conservative for the next 20 years, if you want that passed, should thank the left for running to defund the police.

Because that is not what America is.

You know, you could sit here and tell, like, they have had this

media, like, landscape where that side of the protests has won, right?

Like, that's definitely the way these companies are seeing it.

But, I mean, you know, defund the police is not the position where the Americans are.

Dismantle the police.

There was a segment on CNN this morning where

they asked, they said, well, if we dismantle the police, like, and someone's breaking into my house,

you know, I hate to point out the obvious.

Like, what happens in this situation?

Like, well, you get killed and your stuff gets taken.

Well, I.

No, this was her legitimate response.

Yes, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors.

And I know, and myself too, I know that that comes from a place of privilege.

Wait, what?

Not wanting someone to break into my house and kill me comes from a place of privilege?

Oh, my God.

Like, these people are literally insane.

So, luckily, they're the ones back in the 140s.

You know, I can't stand this racism and this hatred.

Back in the 1400s, you didn't have a police officer around to stop people from breaking in.

It was a privilege.

You were a king or a royal.

They could have somebody not step in.

You know, they could have somebody come in and try to steal, but they had the knights and everything else, and they could have that taken.

So, yes, it is a privilege.

It is, as I watch you.

It's a privilege that I think as I watch you with your guard dog walking around behind you.

It is a little bit difficult to take you and your white privilege seriously as your killer German shepherd is back there about to attack

another dog on your wall.

Yeah, he is.

He's looking at that dog like, isn't that weird?

I've never seen him do that.

He's looking up at the dog like, what the heck is that?

That's why it's a black dog.

Look at him.

Yeah, he really is.

He's into it.

That's crazy.

Uno.

Uno, it's a piece of wood, man.

Piece of wood.

Good boy.

Good boy.

And look, you can have this situation where we can all call the police privilege, and that's a society that could theoretically exist.

What it exists, though, with is a massively

expanded Second Amendment where people are handling their own security.

This is something libertarians have pushed for a long time.

It's something we've pushed at as part of the solution.

I think I like the police too.

I'd like to have them as well.

But we should have the ability to defend ourselves.

They want to take away the ability to defend yourself and have no police.

And the police.

No, so here's the thing on this.

They don't understand.

What will this do?

This will only create division that is larger between the poor and the rich.

You're just going to have private security.

People are not going to, they're not going to walk around and live in places with no police.

If you don't have police, fine.

You know, Jeff Bezos, you don't think he's going to have protection?

So the regular people will have their stuff stolen.

It's the same thing that, you know, Rosie O'Donnell, she says, I don't believe in carrying guns, but she has people that she hires to carry guns.

Well, the average person, Rosie, can't afford that.

So that's why we have a second amendment.

You can say you don't want to carry a gun, but I don't have the money to afford to have people carry guns around me.

So maybe you should let us, you know, people down at the bottom be able to carry a gun.

That's the same thing that's happening.

So the Rosie O'Donnells of the world, those who really understand equality, will have privileges that the average person will not be able to to afford

the best of the Glenbeck program

a Seattle police officer is talking something is being shot by this video is being shot by a city council person on the city of city city council

and

you know everybody on the Seattle City Council I think is mad and insane and leftist and Marxist but she's filming this, talking to a police officer.

And I want you to listen to what the guy standing right behind the police officer is saying in a bullhorn.

Listen to this.

For people to breathe, I need you to do me a favor.

Take your guns, put them under your chins, and pull the trigger.

This isn't a response that protests.

I need you to kill yourselves.

That's your only redemption.

If what I'm asking you to do is tell me, when you were sitting over in the

save us the trouble

to tear you apart

and

kill yourselves

is that a threat?

When is anybody in the media going to start taking these people seriously?

That they mean it?

When they say defund the police, they mean defund the police.

You don't believe me?

Here in Minneapolis, play the audio of the protesters on stage in Minneapolis, and the mayor of Minneapolis shows up, has been marching with them, if I'm not mistaken, and then they turn on him.

Listen to this.

Jacob Fry, we have a yes or no question for you.

Yes or no, will you commit to defunding Minneapolis Police Department?

We don't want no more police.

Is that clear?

We don't want people with guns toting around in our community shooting us down.

You have an answer.

She says yes or So that's what they're talking.

Stop.

That's what they're talking about.

We want no more guns in our neighborhood.

We don't want police.

No more police.

Okay.

Now, does this sound reasonable to you?

Does this sound insane?

Or quite honestly, does this sound evil?

I want to read something that has just been mailed to President Trump.

He wrote, this is from an archbishop in the Vatican.

His name is Archbishop Carlo Maria Viano.

He said, In recent months, Mr.

President, we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call biblical, the children of light and the children of darkness.

The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority.

And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, politics, the economy, and in the media.

In an apparent, inexplicable way, the good are now being held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.

These two sides, which have a biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the woman, humans, and the offspring of the serpent, the devil.

On the one hand, there are those who always, although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses, are motivated by the desire to do good, to be honest, to raise a family, to engage in work, give prosperity to their homeland, to help the needy, and in obedience to the law of God to merit the kingdom of heaven.

On the other hand, there are those who want to serve themselves, who do not hold any moral positions, who who want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy, foment internal divisions and wars, accumulate power and money?

For them, the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day, if they do not repent, yield to the terrible fate that awaits them, far from God.

In society, Mr.

President, these two opposing realities coexist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies.

And it appears that the children of darkness, whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose, and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days, have listened to this, decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans.

They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that

circumspection which until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions.

The investigations are already in way that will reveal the true responsibility of those who manage the COVID emergency, not only in the area of health care, but also in politics, the economy, and the media.

We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering, there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, aggregating themselves

to the right to act against the will of its citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.

We will also discover that the riots in these days have been provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, it was necessary to have to provoke civil disturbances because they would be followed by repression, which through legitimate, which though legitimate, could be condemned condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population.

The same thing is happening in Europe in perfect synchrony.

It is quite clear the use of street protests is instrumental to the purpose of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential election who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction.

It will not be surprising if in a few months we once again learn that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence are those who hope to profit from the disillusion of the social order as so to build a world without freedom.

Although it may seem disconcerting, the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles.

There are faithful shepherds who care for the flock of Christ, but there are also mercenary infidels who seek to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves.

It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness

and they hate the children of light.

Just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God.

Thus the invisible enemy, whom good rulers fight against in public affairs, is also fought by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere.

It is a spiritual battle battle which I spoke about in my recent appeal.

For the first time, the United States has in you a president who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship.

Your participation in the March for Life and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on.

And I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side of this battle, albeit with different weapons.

For this reason, I believe that the attack to which you were subjected on your visit to the National Shrine of St.

John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions, not to bring social justice, but to legitimize violence and crime, not to to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction.

And it is disconcerting that there are bishops, such as those who I have recently denounced, who, by their words, prove that they are aligned on the opposing side.

They are subservient to the deep state, to globalism, to aligned thought, to a new world order, which will invoke ever more frequently in the name of universal brotherhood, which has nothing Christian about it, but which evokes the ideals of those who want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of the schools, out of the families, and perhaps even out of our churches.

The American people are mature and have now understood how much mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters.

However, it is important that the good, who are the majority, wake up from their sluggishness sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes.

It is necessary that the good, the children of the light, come together and make their voices heard.

What more effective way is there to do this, Mr.

President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States and all humanity from this enormous attack of the enemy.

Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing.

Brought to light and exposed for what it is, an infernal deception.

Mr.

President, my prayer and constantly turned to the beloved American nation where I had the privilege and honor of being sent by Pope Benedict as an apostolic nuncio.

In this dramatic decisive hour for all humanity, I am praying for you, all those who are at your side of the government of the United States, and I trust the American people are united with me in a prayer for you to Almighty God.

That is one of the most stunning things I have ever read from the Vatican.

That is,

you know,

biblical, obviously, in its nature and its impact, and absolutely right.

It is time that we come together.

It is time that we recognize the forces of evil and the forces of good, and we stop playing footsie with it.

We must call it out by name with love and respect for all, but call it out by name.

This is the best of the Glen Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome back, Mr.

Stuporgear.

Thanks, Glenn.

One thing I was fascinated in watching while I was on vacation was my social media feed completely loaded with people making lists of, let's say, black-owned restaurants that you can support in these times.

And, you know, you can see the motivation being pretty good there, and that you're trying to support these businesses.

A lot of them had their businesses trashed or lit on fire.

Hey, support black-owned businesses in these communities.

I can't help, though, to keep coming back to the idea that if you're making a decision as to where to eat and part of your decision-making process is what is the skin color of the owner of the business, this is a bad idea that does not work out well for black people in the past.

And I'm thinking So you're saying that having somebody make make a list of white business,

white-owned businesses, would be a bad thing, would be offensive.

In fact, I would say, and I'm going to go out on the limb here, you shouldn't consider the skin color of the business owner when you do business with them.

Should not be a part of the equation in any way,

no matter how

much you can't do it.

Just base it on if it's good or not.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

What kind of capitalism is that, you weirdo racist?
