Hey, thank you so much.

It is Friday.

Come here, Uno.

Come here.

Come here.

Yes.

Hello.

Who's a vicious killer?

Yes.

This is my vicious killer, Uno, who follows me around all the time.

And I love him.

He's a member of the family.

And we want the best for him.

And that's why we're proud to have as a sponsor, Rough Greens.

At roughgreens.com/slash Beck, you can find this supplement, and I put it on my dog's food.

Pat, you use Rough Greens, don't you?

Sure do.

And my dog

loves it.

She loves it.

Right?

It's like dog crack.

It really is.

I don't know what they put in it, but it is like dog crack.

Yep.

It used to take her all day to eat her food.

She gobbles it down in like one minute now.

Right.

And here's the thing.

He never, we couldn't get him past 95 pounds.

He should be about a 110.

He's now at 110.

We've never been able to get him at the right weight.

With rough greens, we have no problem.

And it's not fat that he's added.

It's muscle tone.

He's more active.

Try it with your dog for 14 days.

See if it makes a difference.

You're going to see a difference.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Oh my gosh, and it is the Glen Beck program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday from the Standing Rock Ranch.

We are so glad that you have tuned in today.

Yesterday,

I was a little upset.

I still have a very twitchy eye and

shaky trigger figure.

I may go off.

I've got a rant

that

I'm trying not to

express, but I don't think I'm going to make it today because I just saw something new in the news.

That, you know,

Pat,

what was that law called that they had in 1807 that George Bush used during Katrina?

Donald Trump has been saying that he'd use it against the rioters.

It was the

insurrection,

insurrection law, right?

That's what it was.

Yeah, Maxine Waters now says it's insulting to call these riots, they're not riots,

they're an insurrection.

Oh,

Okay.

All right.

Deep breaths as we begin in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Okay.

Let me tell you about American financing.

American financing, one of those painful but necessary things.

If you own a house, you have to make mortgage payments, which means you have interest.

Now, here's one of the painful things.

We can put some salve on some aloe, some aloe, and that is this.

Interest rates are at historic lows.

Right now, you can save a buttload of money, I mean a ton of money, if your interest rate that you're paying for your mortgage is over 4%.

And American financing can help.

Now you can save hundreds of dollars, in some cases over $1,000.

And if you consolidate loans, if you have credit cards, first thing, unless it's an American Express and you

have to pay it off every month, I so highly recommend my parents.

I remember, gosh, it must have been in the like 1970 or something, because I barely remember this.

But I remember standing in front of the fireplace and my parents cutting up their credit cards and saying, this got us into trouble.

Credit cards are really dangerous.

And so my whole life, we were only allowed to carry American Express.

You know, my family was, and that's really the only credit card I carry is American Express because it forces me to pay it off.

Now, that may not be your situation, and you know, everybody's situation is different, but if you're in debt with credit cards and you're probably paying anywhere from 15 to 21 percent, consolidate that so you are not having that huge burden on you, and you can pay that debt down, get out of that kind of debt.

And American Financing can help you with a 10-minute phone call at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

Oh, yeah.

It's Friday

in God's country, the United States of America.

Oh, my gosh, did he just say this was God's country?

Yep.

Yep, I did.

Now, we're not necessarily God's people anymore but we we are in God's country and

he'll make sure that a righteous people take control of this land and it may not be us hurry time's a wasting

I have some information that I want to pass on to you maybe today but definitely on on Monday but

We are having a powerful, powerful wake-up call, and there's two ways to go.

We can do something positive about it and something with real meaning that will have real

effect,

or we can just get angry.

And all of my email from all of my friends was saying the same thing yesterday.

Glenn, man,

oh, thank you for that monologue.

You were so angry and I'm so angry.

And they just

vomited poison out, just like I did yesterday, and probably will again later on in the program.

It's the anger has to be expressed

because there are some things that just don't make any sense anymore.

Don't make any sense.

And some people are really hurting.

This COVID thing,

wait a minute, you told us that we couldn't go out, that nothing, you, you, I have a friend who is ready for a kidney transplant, and just before COVID, they found out that in one of his kidneys was a tumor.

And so

they had to take that out.

And it was a cancerous tumor.

They had to take that out.

And if it spread out of his kidneys,

he would die because he wouldn't be able to take any kind of chemotherapy with bad kidneys.

He was told because of COVID that that was an elective operation.

That was elective.

No, plastic surgery is elective.

So he just had his surgery just a few days ago and just found out that it didn't spread, thank God.

But now he's got to wait for his kidneys.

This should have been done two months ago.

He could have died.

He spent all of this time,

the whole time of COVID, thinking,

I'm going to die.

It's going to spread past my kidneys and I'm not going to be able to get kidneys.

I'm dead.

How many people went through this?

How many people, as we're watching George Floyd's funeral today,

as we're watching this,

and Nancy Pelosi is sitting

in the third row or second row, and she's not wearing a mask?

I ask myself, do any of these people actually believe anything?

How many people couldn't have funerals for their loved ones, couldn't be with their loved ones when they died, but we're doing it now?

Why?

Did you know that

scientists and medical officials have come out this week and said, yes, COVID is a disease, and we've been battling COVID, but the battle against racism has been going on for far too long.

And it's a bigger battle.

And so if you have to not social distance, are you kidding me?

You destroyed our economy.

20% unemployment.

We had the lowest to 20%.

Boy, this is all starting to feel like it was a setup, doesn't it?

Leon Wolf is

the editor of

The Blaze, TheBlaze.com.

And Leon posted a Twitter thread that I just want to read to you because I think there's a ton of people that feel this way.

I woke up today really angry, and I have some things I got to get off my chest.

I've been withdrawing from Twitter lately because of the toxicity of this place.

It's not good for me, or probably the country, but it's time to say some things regardless of how people react.

At the start, let me note that I have been writing online about police brutality, lack of police accountability, and racial injustice for over 15 years to a mostly unreceptive and sometimes hostile audience.

So I didn't wake up last week to discover these things existed.

So while I condemn the looting, violence, and arson happening right now, I'm fully on board with the message of the people who are peacefully protesting.

And I have been for a long time, just so we're on the same page.

That having been said, I'm really pissed off at apparently the life and death need to destroy this country was apparently not so life and death.

The people who told us and scolded us, including public health experts, who told us there was literally no reason that would justify ignoring them or violating social distancing's rules suddenly find that literally no reason means unless it's a reason that's societally important.

They're not saying this figuratively, but literally.

Dozens, this is according to NPR, dozens of public health officials and disease experts have now signed an open letter in support of the nationwide anti-racism protests.

White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19

and contributes to COVID-19.

So having established that, I think the fight for the police reform is really important.

But I have to ask, was it not important to prevent tens of thousands of predicted deaths of suicide due to the psychological effects of the lockdown and ensuing depression?

Was it not important that people, especially small business owners and employees, are able to feed their families?

Is it not important that, you know, black people have jobs?

Black unemployment was at, or black employment was at historic highs in March.

Now less than half of black people are employed.

I'll tell you one reason I'm especially raw today.

One of my closest, dearest friends died last week.

I'm going to his funeral today.

Thank God it's being held in Arkansas.

Otherwise, it couldn't even exist.

Well, unless you're George Floyd.

He'll be listed on the statistics as a COVID death because he caught COVID literally while locked down in a high-risk area of the hospital.

But what killed him were complications for underlying health conditions that had him hospitalized since late March.

For the last eight weeks of his life, he lived totally alone.

Even after he had already caught COVID, he was not allowed in-person human contact from his friends or family, even if we signed a waiver, and promised not to leave the hospital until we ourselves cleared quarantine.

I'm really mad that my friend had to die feeling not only did his body give up on him, but probably also the worst loneliness and isolation he had ever known in his entire life.

And I'm mad for all the families of the people who are not allowed to say goodbye to loved ones, or even mourn, or say goodbye at burials, because it seems to me that this crap is pretty darn important to maintaining who we are as human beings.

How many people sat there and suffered the same indignity silently because they were told there was no choice?

I'll tell you what conclusion I draw from

the lack of testisking,

how do you pronounce this, tistisking, the condemnation of these current protesters.

Yes, even the peaceful ones.

That they're going to kill grandma with their activities.

Why isn't anyone saying that?

It's the only conclusion that can be drawn.

The conclusion that they didn't really believe what they were saying all along.

Because an infectious disease does not care about the reason you're gathering or how important it is.

It has no social conscience or conscience of any kind.

Which leads me to believe that they were doing it because of politics or desire to control or whatever.

I don't really know.

But most definitely, not because they actually believed we would all die.

So much loss, so much damage, so much grief, for apparently for nothing.

God, I hope people are held accountable for this somehow.

I have to tell you,

it doesn't matter anymore if any of this was real.

Because I don't think you can contain the conspiracy theories that will go on now forever.

And those conspiracy theories may be right.

I think there's a growing body of evidence.

I mean,

let me give you this

story about

Maxine Waters here.

This Maxine Waters story where she's saying a protest is an insurrection.

A protest is an insurrection.

You know, that's an amazing thing to say.

She says, rational political expressions of dissatisfaction and and rebellion.

It's extremely clear.

There are people that would like me to say, go inside, be peaceful, that they have to accept the verdict of she was talking about the Rodney King trial.

It's the language of rioting that I refuse to

give up on,

referring to the protest of 92 as an insurrection.

And she calls the new ones

an insurrection as well.

She said, you know, I had a long talk with my grandson, who's very politically aware and pays attention, even though he's in the entertainment industry.

And

what's different about this moment from that moment?

He said, look, grandma, would you agree that people have been cooped up because of social distancing, isolation, have been being quarantined for a couple of months, plus 40 million people unemployed.

You have seniors graduating from high school that don't know what they're going to do, whether there's going to be be college next year, whether there's even going to be a job.

Most know there's not going to be a job.

You've got poor people who don't know where their next meal is coming from and looking to the government and

whether or not they're going to get more money in a stimulus plan.

That's what's happening here.

Now, wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

So you're now saying, Maxine Waters, that it's okay for these rioters to go out and riot in the streets.

It wasn't when people had a chance a couple of weeks into it to be able to open up their businesses again.

And when they said, hey, I'm not getting any help from the government, you said, you cannot let those people out.

Those people are dangerous.

But now that

a group of, well, to use your words,

insurrectionists,

Now that they're out on the street, you support them.

And And you say, wouldn't you agree people have been cooped up because of social distancing, isolation, and been quarantined for a couple of months?

Well, that's what you did, Maxine Waters.

That's what you did.

You did.

You and the press.

The president has been saying the whole time, leave it up to the states.

Leave it up to the states.

Leave it up to the states.

You said that was irresponsible.

40 million people unemployed.

Again, that's you.

Seniors graduating from high school that don't know what they're going to do.

We've been telling you there's no reason for schools to be closed, but you keep saying there is a reason.

In fact, our schools, our colleges are supposed to be closed

in the fall.

For what?

For what?

I want to take a break.

Because I have to tell you, I don't.

I'm sorry, I don't believe that anybody in the media believed anything about COVID.

I don't.

I don't believe that this destruction of our economy

is a coincidence.

I just don't.

I don't believe these riots being covered the way they are now with the media and CNN even saying that, you know, sometimes protests need to be violent.

Excuse me?

I don't think this is a coincidence.

I think there is a group of people that want this to happen.

They have either

taken advantage of conditions or they have set up those conditions.

I don't know which at this point, and there is no one to tell us the truth.

There's no one I trust to tell the truth.

So what does this mean?

Well,

an insurrection.

An insurrection.

Not a riot.

An insurrection, according to Maxine Waters.

So what does that mean?

Because I looked it up and I wanted to make sure I had it right and compare it to different words.

I'll go there in one minute.

All right, My Pillow.

If you are tossing and turning every night, you need My Pillow.

A pillow will make all the difference in the world on how you sleep, how long you sleep, how deep you sleep, how you feel when you get up in the morning.

And it's not just My Pillow that is great.

They have all kinds of products for your bed that will really change the way you sleep and make it a pleasant thing.

Just a few years ago, I just could not sleep and I hated going to bed as it was just awful.

And I'd get up in the morning and I wouldn't be rested.

And I'd be like, oh, geez.

And I think I've conquered.

I've cracked the code.

And MyPillow and some of their products have really helped.

They've played a big role in cracking that code for sleep, at least for me.

You know, I looked up insurrection in the dictionary.

Now that Maxine Waters is saying that we should not

call this

a riot, this is an insurrection.

Hmm.

Well, that's the Insurrection Act of 1807 that you said was so bad to employ.

How am I misunderstanding the word insurrection?

So I looked it up.

It's a noun, insurrection, a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Hmm.

Against an authority could be cops.

Because I know a lot of people say we just have to disband the cops.

That's a good idea.

That's been done.

So many societies and civilizations have had no prisons and no cops.

I don't know why we invented this here in America.

Okay, so a violent uprising against an authority or a government.

Similar words.

Rebellion.

Let's see.

Ah, get the rebels of the South.

That's right.

That was the Civil War.

Rebellion, revolt, uprising, mutiny, revolution.

Stop me when you think I get to a good word.

Insurgency, insurgence, sedition, there's a good one.

Ooh, anarchy, a coup, a coup d'état, or my personal favorite as a synonym for insurrection, a putsch,

which is what Hitler went to jail for.

The difference between rebellion and insurrection.

A rebellion is unaccountable armed resistance to an established government or ruler, while insurrection is organized,

Organized opposition to an authority, a mutiny, a rebellion.

Oh.

Well, this is so good.

No, no, no.

It gets worse if you care to go there.

Just open up your dictionary today.

All right.

We're going to tell you how this has happened before and no one cared with Matt Walsh next.

When Pete and Seth Talbot founded Relief Factor, they wanted just to to help people in pain.

These guys are really big.

They're just really big God guys and really good people.

And their whole life really is spent just trying to help people.

So they wanted to come up with a product that would help people and then it would also help fund things.

All their money really is going into things that

help people.

They're doing so much missionary work here and abroad.

I mean, it's really an amazing thing.

Anyway,

people take drugs to manage pain, and we're on way too many drugs.

And the results are not very helpful.

And we're getting addicted to prescription drugs because of

pain.

I've had severe pain for the last, I don't know,

10 years, and it was debilitating until I started taking Relief Factor.

That's when I got my life back, and you can too.

Just try it.

Relief Factor has helped me paint, has helped me build this barn in this studio.

Yes, believe it or not, I had a hammer in my hands for several days because of Relief Factor 800, 500, 83, 84.

This is the Glenn Beck program from the Standing Rock Ranch in God's Country.

Welcome to the program, Mr.

Matt Walsh.

He's the author of The Church of Cowards, also the host of the Matt Walsh Show.

Matt, welcome.

Hey, Gwen, thanks for having me.

You bet.

You know, I want to,

I know we were going to talk about Tony Timpa, and we will, because it's really important what you've exposed here.

But I just want to ask you, as I think this is a very relevant question and your book handles this well,

what do you mean by the church of cowards?

Well, I mean, you know, when we look around at

the church in the country today,

I think it's pretty clear to most Christians that, you know, it's a church infected by not just cowardice, but I think complacency, you know, people's spiritual complacency, where we're just sort of floating along on the tide of the culture.

And I, of course, I wrote this book before the lockdowns and everything else happened, but everything that we've seen in the last few months has only, unfortunately, I think, sort of proven my point, especially as churches have been shut down and so many of us as Christians have just sort of gone along with that

as our First Amendment rights were totally obliterated

on a basis that, by the way, has now been exposed as a total sham because, of course, they thrown all that to the side for the protest.

So, unfortunately, I hate to say, you know,

I've been proven right by this, but I think I have been.

So, Matt, what do you draw from

this?

We were just talking about it.

I mean, this is the Reichstag fire now.

And just like the Reichstag fire, it may have been started by communists.

It may have just been taken advantage of, or it could have been started by the Nazis.

You don't really know for sure.

And I think what's coming our way

is

a large part, part and parcel with

the COVID-19 lockdowns.

You would not have been able to have this kind of unrest without 20% unemployment.

And you could make the case, I think, pretty easily, that this was either planned or it was just used

and then they hatched a plan along the way.

I mean, I don't think we'll ever really know.

Do you have an opinion on this?

Yeah, I think it's a combination of factors.

I think obviously it cannot be a coincidence that we're seeing this kind of mass unrest three months into these lockdowns.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

We know Antifa's involvement.

So there's a combination of factors.

But I also think we should keep in mind, we shouldn't forget that

there have been riots and mass looting and violence at BLM protests for years now.

I mean, before Antifa was as prominent as it is now, I mean, have we forgotten Ferguson Baldwin?

Have we forgotten Dallas, where five police officers were executed at a BLM protest?

So there's a weird thing that I've noticed among some conservative commentators where it seems like they're trying to absolve BLM of any guilt and put this all on Antifa and say, well, they're coming in and doing the rioting and looting.

I know that they're partially responsible, but why are we pretending that Black Lives Matter has not also been a violent movement from its inception, from day one?

I don't know why we're pretending that.

Well, I guess I do know why.

I'm being intentionally naive, but we should not pretend that because it is a violent movement, in my opinion.

I will tell you, Matt, that was the same thought I had yesterday.

I was watching this stuff, and I thought, we are just, we're cleansing.

As a society, we're cleansing BLM.

And

we're saying, well, they're not Antifa.

Well, yeah, they are.

Yeah, they are.

Their goals are much the same

as Antifa, and their actions are much the same.

One more thing on the Christian community: the black box, which I refuse to tweet or anything else, this black box movement, it was tweeted out by so many people

who were

not just church members, but church leaders

were

going ahead with the black box movement on this last Tuesday.

If you go to the black box movement website,

they provide education for you, one of which is the 1619 project, which is thoroughly discredited.

A horrible, horrible look at history, makes our founders, our pilgrims, into

nothing but racists.

Where do we go

for truth if our own pastors and preachers can't find truth?

Yeah, I think there's obviously a lot of empty virtue signaling that goes on.

I think also people are, you know, of course they're afraid of being called racist.

I mean,

I've heard from many conservatives, you know, some prominent commentators and others saying that, yeah, well, I condemn the violence and rioting, of course, everything, blah, blah, blah.

But the message of the protests, I agree with.

I mean, I support the message.

I support the message.

Well, do you really?

Because look at what go to Black Lives Matter website and look at what they're saying about America and what they stand for.

You support that now as a conservative?

They're saying America is a white supremacist country, that cops are out hunting for black people to kill.

They don't defend or save black lives at all.

They just kill black people.

We're a country infected by the virus of white supremacy, and white supremacists are killing black people every day.

This is what Black Lives Matter is saying.

And you've got conservatives now saying, oh, yeah, I support that part of it.

What do you mean you support that?

I thought we were supposed to be standing against this kind of nonsense.

We better stand against this.

Well, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Let me make sure that I understand you and we're on the same page because I support the criminal prosecution of the police officer who killed George Floyd.

George Floyd's not a hero.

He's not a martyr.

He was a very bad guy.

He should have been a criminal that went to jail.

He should not have been somebody who was killed by a police officer.

So I separate this with the police officer.

I want to see him go to jail.

And that part I support.

And I want to see that

all of our cops are as clean as possible that they can be.

I support that.

But I don't support Black Lives Matter.

I don't support what they want.

And I don't support the so-called protesters because

when I listen to the interviews for them, they're saying either burn the entire thing down or I deserve this, so I'm going to take it.

Neither of those do I agree with.

Yeah, well, and I think you're exactly right.

I mean, yes, I also agree with that we need to prosecute the officer that killed George Floyd.

Everybody agrees with that.

Everyone agreed from it with

day one.

They arrested the officer.

I mean, there's really not much else to be said about it.

We're all on the same page.

And that's how we're doing it.

It's a very rare time where we are this,

where we're this lockstep in United in America.

We had about one day where everyone was united in America.

Everybody said, oh, yeah, this is horrible.

And then all of a sudden, we were made to believe like we disagreed with each other.

Yeah, and usually, and that's the thing with a protest, usually you've got one side insisting on something, and there are people disagreeing, which is why you need to protest.

But if the protesters are saying, prosecute the killer, justice for George Floyd, and everybody in America is like, yeah, I agree, totally, let's do that.

Well, if that's all you wanted to accomplish, then you would put your signs down and go home.

It's like as a pro-life protesters, I mean, we're out saying apollo ship fortune.

If the whole country said, yep, let's do it, then we would say, great, and we would put our signs home and go home and we would celebrate and say we won.

So that's how we know that it's not just about George Floyd because they're still out there, obviously.

They want more than just justice for George Floyd.

And, you know, if you want to know what else they want, well, we just have to look at what Black Lives Matter is saying.

So, Matt, you have made Tony Timpa rather famous this week, a name I had never heard of.

I live in Dallas.

I didn't even know this story.

Tell a story of Tony Timpa.

Yeah, Tony Timpa was a white man who was also killed by police.

This happened a few years ago.

This is back in 2016.

Very similar situation.

The video is out there now, the body cam footage.

Very similar situation to George Floyd.

He was being arrested.

They were on top of him.

He couldn't breathe.

He said many times,

I can't breathe.

I'm going to die.

They didn't listen to him.

He died on the pavement, and after he died, the police officers were cracking jokes.

Now they might not have known that he was dead, but they knew he was unconscious, and they thought it was very funny.

They did not give him, they did not administer anything medical-wise.

The other part of this is that Tony Timpa, to make it even more outrageous, Tony Timpa suffered from mental illness.

He called the police to come help him.

He realized that he was on the verge of, you know, he just he needed, he hadn't been off his medication.

He knew he needed help.

He did what you were supposed to do, and he called the police to come help him, and they killed him instead.

And, I mean, it's just totally horrifying.

It's at least as bad as George Floyd, if not worse.

And yet.

Oh, I think it's.

I have to tell you, I think it's worse because he wasn't in a criminal act.

We have to separate the act from the killing.

They are two separate things.

But here's a totally innocent guy who is calling and saying, help me, and they kill him.

That's more insane than he thought he was.

Exactly.

And yet, and this is not about, look, this is not about whataboutism or anything like that.

I'm not trying to score points or make this into a racial scorecard thing.

We're just pointing out that these sorts of things happen all the time to people who are not black.

Daniel Shaver is another case.

that I've mentioned, a little bit more well-known, but that video is just the worst thing I've ever seen.

If you haven't seen the video of Daniel Shaver, if you want to see it, I warn you, it's horrible, but he was killed, shot dead by police while begging for his life on his knees.

I mean, that's what they said happened to Michael Brown.

It didn't happen to Michael Brown.

That was a lie.

It actually did happen to Daniel Shaver on his knees, begging for his life, saying, don't kill me, and they shot him.

White man, you know, and this kind of thing happens all the time.

The important point is that

police brutality is a real problem, in my opinion.

There's a real problem with the way sometimes the police go about things, even though it's a minority of cases, but it does happen.

I don't think there's any reason to believe at all, actually, that it's racially motivated.

I don't think it has anything to do with race, the vast majority of cases.

I think it's power trip.

I think it's sometimes police officers who don't value human life as much as they should.

And then also sometimes this idea that

there are some cops who don't want to take any chances at all with their own lives, none at all, and so they'd rather kill you than take any chance whatsoever.

Now, fortunately, most cops don't operate that way.

Some do, and I think that's what leads to Daniel Schaver, Tony Timpo, George Floyd, and many of these other cases.

If we're going to go further than that and say that this person was killed because of their race, because this cop hated him because he was black, you're going to need some evidence for that.

And the evidence cannot be that the person died, because we know that happens to white people too.

It happens to more white people.

You need more evidence.

I mean, maybe the cop who killed George Floyd was racist.

Is there any evidence of that?

Do we have anything else aside from the video of George Floyd dying?

If we don't, and you're going around saying he was racist, that is irresponsible, reckless, and

you have no reason to be saying it other than maybe you want it to be true for your narrative.

Hey, Matt, it's Pat Gray.

Do you know if any of the police officers were ever charged in this death?

Did anybody

brought to justice over Tony Timpa?

I don't believe.

I know in the case of Daniel Shaver,

there was no conviction.

Wow.

And I believe that was the case for Tony Timpa as well.

This is amazing.

I mean, they were joking.

They thought he was asleep.

They tried to wake him.

It's time for school.

Wake up.

I don't want to go to school.

Five more minutes, mom, said the other officer.

They joke about buying him new shoes for the first day of school, making him special breakfast, laughing loudly.

He is

dead.

And there was nobody that even cared about this story.

Nobody that even cared.

So I think this says,

if I'm not mistaken, Matt, you're not playing whataboutism.

You are saying that there is a problem with the police departments, but not all police departments are not all police.

But there is something to be said for

the brutality that sometimes happens

with certain cops.

Yeah, exactly.

And that's, and if we want to really, if we're serious about addressing the problem, then we have to first diagnose it correctly.

And if we're insisting on this racial narrative, then we can't possibly diagnose it correctly.

Because then if we're saying, well, this is all racial,

then what the hell are we going to say about Tony Timpson, Daniel Schaefer, and the others?

How does that fit with the theory?

So there's obviously something else going on here.

And

I think that's how we have to look at it.

And, you know, by the way,

twice as many white people are killed by cops every year as black people.

Of course, there are many more white people in the country, so you could always point that out.

But it's still,

if it's true that cops are racist out hunting for black people to kill, which is what we're told by BLM, you would not expect, based on that theory, to find out that there are twice as many white people killed by cops.

It doesn't work with the racist cop theory, does it?

But that's the fact.

And so, again, I think it just means that

we need a different explanation other than the racial one to get to the bottom of the police brutality issue.

Everybody I've talked to says the same thing.

I don't know.

I don't believe any of this.

The media is completely unhinged.

The

governors and the

everybody is just completely unhinged.

And it's like we're the only people that believe in America anymore.

You know, believe in

equal justice for all.

That believe in truth that

all of a sudden we're now saying, well, wait a minute, I don't think I believe the coronavirus anymore.

I don't think any of those people believed in the coronavirus at all.

And the incredible unemployment numbers, absolutely incredible.

Our economy is so resilient,

it's a blessing from God, honestly.

Let me go to Kate in Connecticut.

Hello, Kate.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you today?

I'm good.

How are you?

Good.

You asked a question a few short minutes ago that

what do you think after everything that you've seen in the last week?

But it's far more than just in the last week.

It's been

since Trump announced that he was going to run for president.

I think the country is having a collective hissy fit that we defied the polls that they put out there that he wasn't going to win, that Hillary is going to win, and we elected him anyway.

We put him in office.

So

since then, it's been nothing but absolute chaos.

First it was Russia collusion, then it was the Mueller report, then it was impeachment because the State Department didn't agree with his foreign policy, and so that wasn't enough.

So then we had to come up with a global pandemic that came over from Europe and now we're going to use it to destroy America.

And then like Ramanuel Emmanuel never let a good crisis go to waste.

So now we went from coronavirus into,

let's just burn the house down.

like

the psychokinetic storm that can take place if you become sick with coronavirus, where the human body just decides, you know, well, we got to get rid of this virus and it causes people to die.

Now, Antifa is going to make sure that America dies.

And it catas.

Go ahead.

You're starting to see.

I'm starting to see cracks.

I see it on TV when I watch just regular cable TV.

I'm not talking about CNN or MSNBC, but

GOP, the GOP is starting to crack.

Everybody is

political analysts.

You're starting to hear them say, oh, well, you know, he shouldn't have said this and he shouldn't have said.

These are people that are supposed to be

right-leaning or Republican or GOP political analysts.

And you see the crap.

that everybody's really getting sick and tired of that, of the things that he says and the chaos.

And the message is, if you dare, America, if you dare to re-elect this man, get ready for another four years of nonstop idiocy, chaos, mayhem, destruction.

That's what I've been thinking this last week.

Well, Kate, I have to tell you, my feeling on this is bring it on.

Bring it on.

I'm not going to cower in a corner.

As everyone is fully aware, Donald Trump

was not my pick for president,

but he is our president.

I respect him him for that.

And I told you, my audience, that I would judge him based on the things that he does.

Right now, he's been, I think, a little too distant or too far out

of what's going on and needs to be talking to the American people more than he has.

And he just needs to have a positive outlook and just do the right thing.

He doesn't need to combat these people anymore.

They are, he doesn't need to point this out.

America sees it.

They do.

And if, honestly, if they are dumb enough to continue to fall for this, they're on their own.

I'm not going to be a part of it.

I won't give up the fight for the constitutional rights the way we have it.

I think we are seeing,

well, Maxine Waters said it right.

She said that this isn't a riot.

It's an insurrection.

She said that as if it's a good thing.

An insurrection is exactly the law, the name of the law that the

president said he would pull out and use if these governors didn't get control of their states, the insurrection law of 1807.

Well, that's outrageous.

How could you do that?

Well, she's saying it's an insurrection.

That's the law that applies to insurrection.

This isn't about just changing the police.

I wish it was.

I really do, because I think that's where most people are.

they're like you know what we just have to make sure the bad guys go to jail well the bad guys are going to go to jail unless the democrat who is an absolute radical who is now the attorney general in the state where that police officer and those police officers are being tried unless he reaches too far or doesn't make his case

Those guys are going to jail.

They're going to jail.

And everybody's going to be for that.

But it's not about that.

It's not about that.

You have a wild,

I think, at times, a guy who sounds very racist.

Anybody who says that, you know, white America is a problem is just as racist as anybody that says black America is the problem.

But

you have him going in and trying this.

So what is this about?

Is this about

somebody going to jail?

Or is this just about pointing out, because we're all with that.

We don't want this to happen anymore.

But that's not what it is.

This is about

collapsing the government of the United States of America.

It's not even about Donald Trump.

This is much bigger than Donald Trump now.

This is about whether we're going to have capitalism or not, whether we're going to have a free nation or not, whether the rights that are enshrined in our Constitution are for everybody or just a select political few.

That's what this is really all about.

This is the the end game.

And when you said you see cracks, I see more cracks happening right now

where the American people are going, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What happened to coronavirus?

Wait, I lost my job.

I lost my

business.

And wait, I don't, you guys didn't even believe it.

None of you believed it.

Why did you collapse the economy if it's okay to go outside to protest on something that's being taken care of?

If it's okay to go and protest, why wasn't it okay for me to protest about feeding my family and having a job, opening the state back up?

Why did you say that you're never really going to open up Los Angeles unless there's a cure, that it won't be open until there is a cure?

And then you go march in the street.

You, the same guy who said that, marches in the street with no social distancing.

You didn't believe that.

And, you know,

when you have CNN on television saying this is a a largely

peaceful protest, and you know, there are 10 going on right now all across the country, and they're peaceful.

And we go now to our reporter, Heather Wetzersmack, and

Heather Wutzersmack, what's happening?

And it goes to her, and there's a car on fire behind her.

And she's like, oh, well, you know, this did start out to be pretty peaceful.

And they immediately go, well,

okay, Heather Weather Smack, here

we have

Dick Heathersmack over here, and he's in another city.

Let's go to him, a peaceful protest.

And

he's showing people behind him rioting.

No, not really.

Okay, okay.

I mean, people are seeing it.

They're asking you to deny what they're showing you.

So when you talk about cracks, the crack is being smoked by the left to think that America is not going to see through this.

This is the clearest it's ever been.

You can't tell me that these people love America and love the Constitution when they are putting up with this kind of stuff.

You can't tell me that George Soros doesn't have influence when George Soros is the guy who, the people he got elected, that he hand-selected, they're the ones releasing all the criminals into the speech in the streets.

Wait, those were the same guys that said you were a criminal if you went out and protested because you didn't have a job.

But let me tell you something.

Man,

I know I'm going to narrow cast here, and my job is to broadcast, but I don't, I'm sorry.

It has to be said.

We are going to fail.

We will lose this country if we don't turn back to God.

We must turn back to God.

God is giving us another...

I mean, he gives us lifelines after lifelines after lifelines.

Do you know what the unemployment number is today?

Should have been 20 or even 25 percent.

This now is the first number that we have of all those layoffs.

This is without, this is without any weeks before the coronavirus.

What is our unemployment number at, Pat?

It went from 14.7%

to 13.3%.

Why?

Because we added 2.5 million jobs last month.

Can you believe that?

After week after week of losing 6 million, 4 million, 3 million, we added 2.5 million jobs last month.

That is unreal.

If that's not a blessing, I mean, we have 25% unemployment, which is what was predicted.

You know, we have all of these African Americans now out of work.

We have the youth out of work.

We have the youth now graduating and not knowing if they're even going to go to college next year.

That's the Middle East.

That cannot happen in a stable society.

And I believe it's beginning to look like it's all been orchestrated.

Now, I hope to God not.

But we do have two Americas.

Let me quickly go to Sophie in Virginia.

Hello, Sophie.

Hey, Glenn.

Hey, Glenn.

Hi.

So after the recent protests, our governor, Ralph Northamp, the one who is known for the blackface debacle, he decided after they projected a picture of George Floyd onto a Robert E.

Lee statue in Richmond that he's going to take it down.

Because I guess that's his way of virtue signaling that he's on the side of Black Lives Matter and that he cares about black people, even though he basically endorsed infanticide not too long ago.

And

abortion is the

highest killer of black people in history.

So I just

it it makes me so angry listening to these people who virtue signal about this stuff because they they don't really have any virtues.

They have to prove that they have them.

And

this

is not a way to help black people.

Erasing southern history and taking down statues is not going to help fight racism.

It's going to only lead to erasing history.

And after they take down these people, like Robert E.

Lee, who they could say one way or another that they did something bad, they're going to move on to our founding fathers, and they're just going to alter history.

And nobody seems to have a problem with it.

Sophie, do you know where Robert E.

Lee's house is?

I don't.

And you live in Virginia?

I do.

I live in Roanoke.

This is why you don't alter history, and this is why you also have to read history, because you actually do know where Robert E.

Lee's house is.

It's in Arlington.

Robert E.

Lee had a house up on the top of the hill over the Potomac looking into Washington, D.C.

When we needed to bury the dead, they asked Lincoln, where should we do it?

And he said, bury the dead in Lee's front yard.

He should know what he caused.

So they left his house standing there in Arlington at the cemetery.

The Arlington National Cemetery was Robert E.

Lee's home and his land.

You don't erase history.

You try to understand and learn from history.

But all we hear about is, oh, Robert E.

Lee, we, you know, we immediately glorify this man.

No, no.

Arlington should be a stark reminder of Robert E.

Lee and

what happens when people go and they

break away for an unrighteous cause.

Sophie, thank you so much for your phone call.

Let me quickly tell you about our sponsor.

Let me break for one minute and tell you about Omaha Steaks.

10 Second Station ID.

Let me go to Alex on Friday.

Alex is in California.

Hello, Alex.

What's up?

Hey, Glenn.

After hearing your show yesterday, I wanted to bring you some hope.

So

I just wanted to say I pledge to you, to everyone listening to every American, my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, and promise before God,

I will do nothing he doesn't command, but freedom will not be lost.

How old are you, Alex?

Uh,

um, 30.

You're 30.

Your voice just sounds very, very young.

Uh, what does that mean to you?

You pledge your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor.

What does that mean?

Means standing up where it's hard when it's right.

It means going against the tide when it feels like you're the only one there.

It means

being right with yourself and with God, no matter what.

Alex, thank you for your phone call.

I do do the same to you.

I pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor.

We can't lose

freedom in America.

Because no matter what anyone says on how, you know, bad America is, if America falls,

the world, freedom falls.

China, Russia, control the world.

I don't want to live in a world where China controls most of its people,

let alone us.

Do you think they're going to leave us alone?

You think if we fall and falter, we go into revolution, you think that we're going to...

First of all, what about the debt?

What about the debt that we owe to China?

Do you think they're not going to come in and just say, we own this, you can't pay it back, so we're taking this?

Of course they will.

Of course they will.

We cannot fall, or the world falls in darkness.

It's not about my stuff.

It's not about my life.

It's not about the president.

It's about the rights that were entrusted to us.

To pass on for further generations.

See, that's the thing that people are not thinking about right now.

You're not hearing anyone saying, wait a minute, what does this mean for future future generations?

What does this mean for future generations that we have $25 trillion in debt, a debt we can never, ever repay?

What does it mean for future generations if we lose

our system of government?

Future generations are going to be damned.

People just think that this just happens.

It doesn't.

Let me go to John in North Carolina.

Hi, John.

How are you?

Good morning, Beck.

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

May everybody know and be aware of what's happening.

Hang on, John.

I can barely hang on.

Let's see if we can get a better connection with you.

And let me come back here in a minute because I can barely understand you.

So hang on.

Back with your voice, America.

Next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there's a man, lying in a boat, staring up at the blue expanse lit of fire by the morning sun.

He slowly bobs up and down with the rhythm of the waves, and a few feet away, the bobber and the worm on his hook do the same.

Hard work awaits him when the fishing's over, and the day actually begins, but he doesn't care right now.

He's just there on the lake.

What's happening on the shore is

no mind to him.

He's just noting the shapes of the clouds and tapping his toe against the keel of the boat to the neoclassical tune of lapping waves.

And the tapping, the tapping toe, it's clad in a pair of Tacovis boots.

Nothing bridges the gap between the idle delight of that moment and the hardworking integrity that awaits him like a pair of Takovis boots.

Made by a hundred or two hundred steps, hands, handmade boots, two hundred steps, most comfortable, most fashionable pair of footwear he owns, twice the boot for half the price.

What a good old world it is.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Friday in all the news that is news, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

NASA is keeping tabs on five asteroids heading towards Earth over the next few days.

One of them is the size of a stadium.

According to NASA, their asteroid watch, the largest of the five, is about 1,100 feet wide, roughly the size of a stadium.

It's expected to be the nearest to the Earth on June 6th.

They say it doesn't pose a threat.

Well, I believe that, but then again,

I've been told that Antifa

doesn't pose a threat to America either.

So we'll see.

Anyone out there praying to be hit by an asteroid?

I mean, if it was just all of a sudden we're like, oh my gosh, the sky's getting pretty dark.

Wow, that looks really boom, and we're all dead, would it really.

I mean, it wouldn't be such a bad option, would it?

Maybe it's just me.

There's a couple of other things that I just want to point out before we go back to John in North Carolina.

Breathing is sacred.

This is what the protesters are saying now

in Italy.

Why are the orange vests

protesting what's happening in America in Italy?

Seems as though protests and riots are breaking out all over the world now,

which is strange

because

we're told this is just about racism in America, even though they're all saying this is about putting an end to the democratic society of America and capitalism.

Maybe

the people in Italy wouldn't care so much about what happened in Minneapolis because they probably don't even know that Minneapolis is a state,

But

maybe they would care about an end to capitalism, I would think.

It's going to take their time over in Italy protesting.

It's kind of weird, isn't it?

All right, let me go back to John in North Carolina.

Hello, John.

You're on.

Yes, sir.

I just wanted to let people be aware of what's going on in Hillsborough, North Carolina, at the nursing homes.

My wife's grandpa,

he's been given a couple weeks to live, non-COVID-related.

He's got cancer and a couple other things, plus, he's just old.

The nursing home,

they offered

my wife's mama $1,000 if she would allow them to put COVID on his death certificate when he passes away and let her know that the nursing home gets $13,000 per COVID-related death.

And he's been tested and has come back negative every time he's been tested for COVID.

And you're not going to allow that to happen, right?

No, sir.

Is anybody in your area covering this in the local news?

Not that I'm aware of.

This happened yesterday, and

my mother-in-law, she says she's going to reach out to a couple people and see if there's something that she's able to do about it.

Well, I sure think, John, that you need to bring this to a local news station

after you've gone the rounds and tried to get somebody locally to cover it.

If they don't, call us back

and we will cover it.

This is happening all across America.

What's happening in our nursing homes is absolutely despicable.

I mean, it is,

I hate to say it, but it is almost a cleansing of our nursing homes, the way this has been done.

When it comes to our nursing homes being held responsible in New York, after a very large donation to

the governor,

New York, he signed in a

new law that would

keep them from not being responsible for anything that was happening as he just made those death mills.

Is anybody going to cover that?

We have to keep record of what's going on.

Please, please keep a journal because these times are so important, and history will write about these times.

And depending on who wins, if we don't win, this story is never going to be told.

You need to keep a journal.

Mike in Colorado.

Hi.

Hi, Glenn.

Thank you for taking my call.

I just wanted to say that I believe everything that's happening is real.

COVID's real, the riots, but it's all definitely being exploited.

I believe it's all really, really to get Trump and what you're saying to change America.

But I also...

I want to try to give a little bit of hope.

I think that the average person, when they step back and they look at the whole situation, especially with COVID, I think they're going to start putting two and two together.

And

I think because of that, I mean, the the people that hate Trump, you're not changing their mind.

The people that love Trump, you're not changing their mind.

I think that the two to three percent that really swing an election,

I think those people are going to see what's actually happening.

And because of that, I really do think that Trump's going to get reelected.

But on top of that,

I think the Democrats are really going to suffer a political loss in November because

we're just going to re-elect.

I hope so, Mike.

I hope so.

But a lot can happen in between now and then.

But I do hope so.

I don't think that we survive

unless there is a reset of justice.

I just don't think we survive.

Brennan and Virginia, welcome.

Hi, Glenn.

I'm just wondering, and no one's talking about this, but to what extent do you think the Great Society and LBJ have had in shaping the kind of climate that we now see with Black Lives Matter?

Oh, I think a huge role.

Wow, that's a

out-of-left field kind of thinking.

Good for you.

I think a huge role.

I've always been interested in looking into this, and I've never had the time to do it.

But someday before I die, I want to research and write a book, if it turns out to be true, that

the LBJ and all of the progressive racists of the day knew exactly what they were writing and what they were doing when they formed the Great Society.

You can't take a guy who was as racist as Johnson and then make him into the the guy who is

holding up the black communities and saying, you know, we've got to change and we're going to be the babysitter and we're going to help and we're going to rebuild and then have the kind of results that it has had and not at least question, hmm, was that by design?

Was that really just a mistake or was that by design?

Because it was the turning point in the black community was great society.

And I think LBJ was was chapter three

in what I think is a five-chapter book on progressive revolution.

The progressives knew that Americans didn't want a bloody revolution.

They would just have to slowly be taken into it.

And so the first chapter was with the most racist president we've ever had.

And that's saying something.

I mean, I put Andrew Jackson in

that league.

But the first chapter was Woodrow Wilson.

The second was FDR.

The third was LBJ.

the fourth was Obama, and I think the fifth chapter of this book may be being written right now, and it is the final chapter, I believe.

We don't know what the ending is, but I think those it's interesting to me that each of those administrations also had a profound effect on the university system.

And I think the university EDU is

more responsible than any other group in the destruction of

our country.

Based on how they changed things with Woodrow Wilson and the early progressives, we don't really have a chance because our kids are not educated.

Which, by the way, reminds me: Mercury One, every summer, has

a leadership program.

It's a two-week program for your kids, or maybe you, if you're under 24, it's 18 to 24.

And it is

a teaching

course

that we have been teaching people in college.

Some teachers have even joined us on this.

And you get to hold the actual documents and do the research yourself.

And it really kind of strips you down at the very beginning and challenges everything you believe.

And then over a two-week period, it rebuilds it, but based on original sources.

We don't select everybody who applies.

This is probably the last year that we're going to be doing it this way

because hopefully we'll have a very exciting announcement coming up this summer.

But if your kids want to be involved and learn true history, you want to train yourself to be a leader in these times and the times that will come, join us in our Mercury One Leadership Training Program.

You can register right now.

We'll be interviewing people.

Not everybody gets a chance to go, but we would love to have you or your loved one there, 18 to 24 years of age only this year.

And you can find it at mercury1.org.

Let me go to Steve in Virginia.

Hello, Steve.

Glenn.

So good to hear you.

Yes, Steve, are you there?

Good to hear you.

I'm glad to be on the show.

I just, I'm sorry, I've had to try my phone.

I just wanted to say I'm eternally grateful that there was this guy, Glenn Beck, that came around.

And 2001, on September 12th, you came on the radio here in Richmond, Virginia.

And I was a little upset because I like Dr.

Laura, but I had to burning and say, I take it for you.

Thank you.

And I really like you.

And I called the day because it's been on my heart.

I've been together.

There's a big butt coming.

It is.

You're talking about aha moment.

I'm celebrating seven years of complete sobriety today.

And I thank you for being part of that.

But you said we need to be

thank God.

And I'm with you, brother.

Amen and amen.

And I read the Bible every day.

I keep a journal like you just said.

And I believe that we do need to come back to God.

But I don't know how we do that with the guy that we got in the White House.

And I'm just concerned.

Please, please think about your undivided support for him because the things he says just divides people horribly.

And I voted Republican every time I ever could until this presidential election, this past one in 2016.

And I don't know.

I don't know what to do.

My conscience tells me I can't care for the man.

And I just, I love you, and I don't want you to lose your witness and your testimony because it's powerful.

Thank you, Steve.

First of all, we remain friends.

We can talk about very divisive things without being divisive.

So thank you for your courage to call in.

Thank you for listening all these times.

And let's have a conversation about this.

We do have to come back to God.

That's not a political thing.

God is in charge of all of it.

And miracles will happen if the people turn back to him and apologize,

repent,

and say, gosh, we've made so many mistakes and we've got to do some soul searching here as a nation.

And

we will abide by your laws, Lord.

We will do what you ask us to do.

That's all he's requiring for us, and he'll do the rest.

You know, Donald Trump was not my pick in 2016.

I warned of these things in 2016.

However,

he has done things that no other president has been able to do.

It bothers me when people say that,

you know, he's God's hand or something like that.

I don't think so.

But I do know this, and you do too, Steve, that

God can make lemonade out of

nothing but lemons and bad, nasty lemons.

He's done it in my life.

There was no good in my life 25 years ago

that I was producing light, I think.

And he has taken my life and your life and every other alcoholic and has turned it around.

He has this way of making things work.

I don't know how he works.

I don't know how he creates.

I don't know what he's doing.

I don't know his plan.

I just know my part.

And my part is to

accept the covenant of God that we are his people

and this is his nation.

These are his rights, and they don't belong to us.

They belong to all mankind.

And our biggest job is to protect those rights, not for ourselves, but for others.

How we get there, I don't know.

I do know that there is true, true darkness that is being embraced by the left.

It is coming from the left, and it is embraced by the Democratic Party.

There are things that really

deeply bother me about Donald Trump, but I don't know what else to do, and I'm certainly not going to stay away from the polls, and I cannot vote for the darkness that is in this particular party.

I thought we would be in worse shape than we are with Donald Trump.

I was wrong.

This is in God's hands.

Do the best you can.

All right, our sponsor.

Our sponsor is roughgreens.com and roughgreens.com has changed my dog's life.

It's changed our life as well.

I mean, we used to have to stand and, I'm not kidding you, hand feed Uno.

We hand fed him because he was about 90 pounds.

He should 90, 95, he should be up at about 110.

We could never get him to eat.

And then we found rough greens.

Now, it's not a food, it's a supplement that puts, you put on your dog's food, and it's jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega-oils, and probiotics, all the things that your dog needs.

I brought it to my vet and said, hey, what do you think of this?

And she said, please feed this.

This is great.

You've heard me talk about my Takovas boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.

It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.

Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Takovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Takovis boots.

The cowboy.

Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.

But what I see in them, I see in other people too.

Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.

And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.

So as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Takovis has the boots you need.

And what do you say?

Let's all be cowboys.

We all know that working from home can be really great.

However, one of the side effects of it, it's driving up the worst type of cyber crime, home title theft.

We're doing pretty much everything from home now, working, banking, video conferences, and cyber criminals are targeting our homes now.

Actually, they want the money that they can get by taking out loans against your home.

So they steal your home's title, which is stored online, and just transfer the ownership to them.

Then they take it to a bank and take out a massive loan loan against your home.

You don't know anything about this happening until you start getting, you know, the bill to pay up on the loan.

It's surprise!

Home title theft.

It's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America, according to the FBI.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

I'm going to say those words in 60 seconds.

Enter today for a chance to win the same grill that I use with RekTech's Father's Day context at rechtechgrills.com/slash Beck.

I've been telling you about this grill.

It is so rock solid.

It is made with steel.

When you go into Home Depot or wherever you're going to buy your grill

and you see these things, they look nice, but I want you to compare them to a Rectec.

That thing is built like a 1956 Buick.

I mean, it is real steel, and it was designed and built by grillers for grillers.

So this is a community, really.

When you go to their social media site, you see all the people that are sharing recipes and everything else.

These are people.

It's a lifestyle.

It really is.

And I now know why, because I've been using a Rectec grill for the last few months.

And and we cook with it every night.

We have had absolutely everything, and I've cooked with it every night since we've been up here on the ranch.

And I mean, anything from chicken to steak to

tofu.

I mean, honestly, I've got

kids that are vegetarians.

I don't understand it, but it makes everything, well, not the tofu, but it makes everything taste good.

It's RekTech Grills.

So last night, I did something.

And it ran about 90 minutes.

And I'm surprised at the reaction.

I'm really surprised at the reaction because I thought it would not be very popular to do.

And what I did is I sat down with eight people that think very differently.

I mean, diehard Trump, diehard anti-Trump, Dave Rubin, who was a liberal and is now

a deep

I want to say conservative.

I know he would object to that, but I don't mean it in the way everybody else means it.

He believes in conserving the things that are good in our country and fixing the things that are not good in our country.

That's what a conservative really is.

And

I had about eight people,

and we just had a conversation, and it was all based on what's happening.

And I was shocked that people were responding,

saying, this was fantastic.

We need more of this.

While I was doing it, I felt that way, but I thought, you know, do people even want to hear people's opinion anymore?

Because that's the problem.

Sometimes we don't.

We don't have honest conversations anymore.

And honest is the key here.

Not somebody who's trying to win, but just have, just understand.

I just want to understand what you're saying.

But we can't do that anymore because if you talk about facts, you're a racist.

If you don't prostrate yourself in front of the mob, you're a racist.

But I think millions of Americans are saying right now, I'm not a racist.

Because I'm not.

Maybe I've done racist things in the past, but I wasn't aware of it.

It was a mistake.

If I did it, I didn't know.

But I try really hard to be open to everybody.

I don't think I've ever done anything racist, but perhaps I have, and I would apologize for it to the people that were actually hurt at the time, not to a mob.

I don't know anybody who's really truly racist.

And if I ever do hear those people, I immediately correct them and distance myself from them.

And there's nothing I can do to alleviate racism in my life other than to, quite frankly, over-correct and give preferable treatment to blacks or other minorities, which

I find myself doing here and there, I guess, but I don't think it's fair.

I'm not posting the black box, but that just means I'm sick of the mob.

I'm not kneeling down to anybody.

Sorry to say it, but the man that was buried today was not a martyr.

He was a criminal.

But like every other criminal, he should have been arrested respectfully and tried.

But he was a criminal that was arrested and now celebrated.

He shouldn't be celebrated.

We should be condemning the act of what happened after he was arrested.

I'm not happy with the police.

I'm no mouthpiece for the police.

I, quite honestly, have been worried for many years about the militarization of the police and police brutality.

It seems to be getting worse with all races.

And I don't think they're making matters any better for themselves.

During the coronavirus, the police really bothered me.

Do I need to complain more?

Yeah, I guess I do.

I mean, I think I'm being reasonable.

You know, when you look at things, there are lots of things that

are unacceptable.

Let me show you a couple of video clips that I think were unacceptable.

The Buffalo PD and the attempt to murder an old man.

Do you have these clips for me, Sarah?

Here it is.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

He's clean out of his ears.

This is a guy

protesting COVID.

All right.

Let's go to the next clip.

Absolutely unacceptable.

Here's the next clip.

Same thing.

Got it.

We got that on camera.

Got it.

Police brutality again.

Just arresting somebody just for marching.

Or how about this one?

Police officer in Virginia spits

on a protester, COVID, during the crisis.

That's not right.

How about the guy who had, he's Hispanic and he had his door broken into?

Play this one.

I need to know why you busted my door in, where the warrant is.

First of all, because you need to, I don't care what kind of call you got outside from anybody walking around outside, you need a warrant to bust my door in.

I just had four cops with AR-15s at my front door and busted it down because somebody called them, said a Hispanic male

had an AK-47 or whatever.

And that's all the information you need to bust my door down?

Okay.

Are you ready for me to answer?

No, I'm at.

That's the question.

Okay.

Because I know you need more than I.

I'll bet I'm well versed in this.

Okay.

Okay.

I've done time.

I'm well versed in this.

You have no right.

I don't care who caused you.

I don't care who caused you.

You have no right to bust my door down without a warrant.

Even if I did have an AK-47 in here, I am fully within my rights to own an AK-47.

So this guy is an automatic, an automatic fire owner.

This guy is ranting and raving, but he's right

because the cops broke his door down because they said they had a very vivid description.

When asked what the vivid description was, a Hispanic normal...

Listen to him here.

Under normal circumstances, a warrant is not needed.

Extenuating circumstances.

Full description.

All you guys had was a Hispanic male.

You had no clothes on.

This is wrong.

All of this stuff is wrong.

All of it is wrong.

I'm very much in favor of the police being respectful of all of the public at all times, even in tough times.

And I support them when they are.

I'm in favor of firing every bad cop we can find.

Constitutional Americans, you know what?

We've been far too timid.

We should have been marching in the streets peacefully until people are fired in the Justice Department and the FBI for the abuse of power and the corrupt procedures that they have used.

to frame innocent people in Washington, D.C.

But we're just too docile.

We don't do anything.

Over the last 10 years, I've seen personally how the wheels of justice can grind a man, a race, or just people with political differences down into dust.

I agree with the African American.

This system is corrupt and it needs to be cleaned.

That said, when we're talking about police officers, that is an insanely tough job.

I don't know how they do it.

I don't want to ever do it.

Somebody has to, but they're facing being maimed or being killed.

And those good cops should be supported a thousand percent and deserve our respect and be held up as the heroes that they are.

They do things that you wouldn't want to do and I wouldn't want to do.

The bad cops should be terminated.

But there's something else that needs to be said.

When you look at the stats,

maybe black males should stop doing so many crimes.

37.5 of all violent crime is committed by African Americans who make up 12% of the population.

Now, there's one glaring factor that would bring the number of police interactions that they have to suffer through way down.

This would be a good safety tip for all races, not just the blacks.

Stop committing crimes.

Now, that doesn't solve all the problems because I know a lot of white people that have gotten into a lot of trouble for going out and peacefully protesting coronavirus, and they were treated like criminals.

So, I know this is a couple-a-week thing or a couple-a-month thing, and it's been going on with blacks forever in America.

But I don't care what it looks like or who that person looks like when they come to kick down the door or to ask you questions to make you feel like a criminal when you're not, that's got to stop.

That's got to stop.

But here's what we really have to say to one another.

There are good black people and there are good white people.

There are bad black people and there are bad white people.

And if all black people don't want to be lumped in with all criminals and looters and they shouldn't be, then why is it okay to lump me in with all of the bad white people?

Why is it okay to lump all of the bad cops in with all the good cops?

It's almost like it's okay to stereotype cops or white people, but anything else is literally hate speech.

Factual data is hate.

I can tell you right now, that data that I just gave you, it's going to be deemed hate speech.

I'm going to have all kinds of problems with it.

I don't care.

I'm done with that.

You know, Biden said that 10 to 15% of Americans are just not good people.

Blacks are 12% of the population.

Do you think he was talking about them?

12?

I'm sorry, 10 to 15% of Americans are just not good people.

So who's he talking about?

Which Americans are not good people?

Do you realize that if Trump would have said that, that exact narrative, what they would have said about him, they would have said he was absolutely talking about black people.

10 to 15%?

Whoa, that's kind of a coincidence, isn't it?

Blacks are 12% of the population.

And you know it's true.

But instead, reasonable people give Biden the doubt.

But let me ask you this.

If you believe that 10 to 15% of Americans are bad people, which I think is awfully high, What are you going to do about it?

You're going to round them up?

You're going to ban them from the internet?

You're going to kill them?

What are you going to do?

People have a right to be jerks.

People have a right to be flat-out racists.

I don't like it.

I don't want them around me, but they have a right to do that.

Let me give you an example.

This is from a Twitter feed from John Boyga.

I really effing hate racists.

Dexie Dale, nobody loves racists.

I'm from Nigeria.

My ex said she hates whites, so I broke up with her.

John responds: I'm talking about the white on black racism, the kind that ruined the world, not caused a little breakup with your girlfriend.

Why is that on Twitter?

Why can I find that on Twitter?

That's racist.

But it's fine with everybody on the left.

How is this acceptable?

This is not about all men are created equal.

It's not.

This is not about justice, fair and equal, justice for all.

This is,

if I may, a dog whistle.

He's saying he hates a segment of white people.

And that's allowable because of world history.

Mark my words, the world will weep, will weep

when they see when the

European societies that have been built over the centuries, ugly as they have been in the past and even ugly as they are now,

when they are removed from the face of the earth, the world will weep

and finally recognize what they actually had.

More in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour, Simply Safe.

It is designed to be

something very easy that allows you to feel safe in your home and to keep your home safe, your family safe, even if you're not there.

These are trying times,

and God only knows what is coming next.

You need a security system, and one that if it goes off,

they can actually verify that something is going on.

They can visually verify it that something is going going on.

They tell that to the 911 dispatch, and your

emergency goes from the bottom of the list, an alarm going off, to an actual break-in.

So it goes from 42 minutes on average to seven minutes on average of the police arrival.

That is the system that I want for my house and my family.

That system is SimplySafe.

You know, when you read Twitter, you'll see media celebrating racists,

you know, and whatever.

I think the guy is a piece of hot garbage, but he has the right to be a racist and look like an idiot to the world.

But why do we have different standards for different races?

Isn't that itself racist?

I don't understand people that use the N-word.

I'm offended by it.

I don't like it.

But I see it in movies.

I see people calling and they say, you can use it, but they can use it, but you can't.

That's nonsense.

That's absolute nonsense.

The word is either bad or it's not.

Okay, it's I can't go into

a broadcast and use the F-word because I'm a certain color or I have a different ideology.

No, it's society says no, you can't use that on broadcast.

So none of us do.

None of us do.

It's either good or it's bad.

Twitter is more racist than

any group or person person that I know.

Because all racism matters.

Meanwhile, a crowd of black people chased a kid down and beat him for allegedly wearing a Trump hat.

Is he dumb for going there?

Yeah, I think so.

Is he racist?

I don't know.

But even if he was, did he deserve to be beaten by a mob while police watch from their cars while doing nothing?

I mean, we have literally over a thousand examples of Trump supporters being violently attacked by the left.

Is Apple going to tweet their allyship to us?

Where's the big corporate campaign with every country or every company in the country?

The large ones, the small ones, tweeting out their support for Trump voters that are beaten and killed by people who just hate, just hate.

By the way, the most racist person I've ever met in my whole life didn't hate all black people.

They hated all white people.

They hated people like me.

They hate Donald Trump.

They hate anyone who votes for him.

They hate the police.

They hate everything that is different than them.

And that's not my opinion.

That's the data.

Data shows that the American left-wing white right, the American left-wing white people are the only group who view their own race negatively.

Blacks,

15%.

Positive, 12.83 for Hispanics, the mean 13%.

You're minus 13 with white liberals.

Non-liberal whites?

It's the exact opposite.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Why do we hate ourselves?

It's the preaching and the woke lecturing that's happening in this country that should be against hate.

But that will never fly because hate is the fuel that progressives run on.

And without that, they wouldn't be anything.

Let's talk about white privilege for a second.

If you think white people are racist against black people,

I would invite you to be a 13-year-old white kid from Iowa who owned nothing but dress shirts, moving to a black, poverty-stricken housing project in St.

Petersburg.

That's a good friend of mine.

He's had his

butt beaten by black kids so many times for absolutely no reason, he can't even count them.

Where's his ally?

Where's his ally?

What is he apologizing for?

He doesn't need one.

He doesn't need one.

And neither do you.

You have your own voice.

You have your own story.

And all stories, oh, they're all true, aren't they?

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, Hara, our sponsor this half hour is Car Shield.

I want to talk to you a little bit about

the insanity of not thinking that your car is going to break down, especially if you're out of warranty.

That's when they always break down.

Think of it this way.

I want you to stop by the ATM on your way home and just grab $1,000.

And then I want you to take that $1,000, assuming you could get $1,000 out of your bank account.

And I just want you to take it over the sink and then just push it down slowly into the garbage disposal.

Just flip that baby on.

Okay.

Sounds like a bad idea?

Well, that's what's happening.

First of all, most Americans can't get $1,000 from the bank account.

They They don't have $1,000 in.

When that car goes down, it's going to cost you about $1,000.

Where do you have that money?

You don't.

Get CarShield.

They'll get you covered.

They'll have a rental car for free while yours is in the shop.

They have

free towing and roadside assistance for you.

And different plans that you design that start at $99 a month.

You've got to have coverage now.

I'm glad that you are here today.

Thank you so much.

We have got to come together.

We have got to find a way around this, but we also have to stand our ground and

know that if it's about justice for everybody, if it's about making sure that the insanity that has happened for so long, and I think is getting worse in all communities, not just the black community, but I think it's getting worse in all communities, where the police have become increasingly militarized and are out of control, that's got to stop.

And I think we can all come together on that.

This is the first thing I've seen in a long time where we all agreed, at least for a few minutes, and then it kind of morphed and turned into something else

and has caused a lot of damage.

And I don't care what the mainstream media

Yes, protests can be violent, but not effective protests are violent.

And

I don't think a lot of these people are protesting.

And I don't mean that about when I say these people, I don't mean about blacks.

I mean about

there's a lot of white faces I see in burning cars and looting and everything else.

This is a problem with our society.

And I think our mayors, our governors, in some cases are aiding and abetting.

And the destruction to many businesses that were struggling already because of COVID

now are struggling even more.

Some of them that were just on the edge are going out of business because they can't make it.

So, what do we do?

And

is anybody else bothered by

the notion that

you don't have to social distance if you're protesting for the right thing?

I don't understand it.

Now, I saw a story, I think it was on Monday, about the owner of the Broadway Wine and Spirits in Santa Monica, who was protecting himself and his store with neighbors and friends, and they all kind of got together, and they were protecting his store with,

I believe the article said, automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons, ARs.

I didn't even know you could have an AR in California, but I wanted to talk to him because there's a good ending to this story.

And Joe Green is on with us now.

Hi, Joe.

Hi, how are you doing?

I'm good.

So tell me what happened Sunday night.

How did this unfold?

Well, you know, we thought it was going to be a peaceful protest, but we've had a few others

a protest here nearby in California, and they turned bad.

A lot of looting and a lot of vandalism.

So

when they came to Santa Monica, you know, they were gathered at the oceanfront down there and the crowd just, it got tremendous.

When they were showing aerial views, it was just a lot of people.

At that time, I knew that, you know, our police department couldn't

handle it.

Yeah, it was overwhelmed.

So

then when the looting started, because we have a 3rd Street Promenade, which is just three blocks off the ocean, and when it started, then

that's when

I started preparing myself.

I closed up the store, I got my wife out of here, and

started calling a few friends to see what was going on.

And

it started really early.

I mean, this is like 3.30, 4 o'clock.

I mean, it's broad daylight.

So

it got scary.

I mean, well, I'm all for protesting, and I'm all for Black Lives Matter.

You know,

something needs to be done about that.

But looting and vandalizing and destroying somebody's livelihood, not acceptable.

So, Joe,

did you have ARs that you were protecting the store with?

Yes.

You know, a few of my neighbors,

you know, they're licensed gun owners and they had an AR.

And the person across the street had an AR.

We had 9 millimeters, 12 gauge, a few bats.

You know, we just

wasn't going to come in here and take this door without a fight.

You know, it's just...

I mean, it's...

Doesn't that make you

almost a pariah in California?

Well, a lot of people frown on it, you know, because you have a lot of liberals out here that just, you know, you should just lock up and that's what your insurance is for.

Well, insurance doesn't cover that.

You know, insurance doesn't cover inventory loss.

You know, it's a.

So you went in about three o'clock in the afternoon is when you started thinking trouble is coming, and it came shortly after your windows were smashed.

And by the time you got there, people were starting to smash more and try to get in and grab things.

But you didn't go home.

The authorities didn't actually arrive until the National Guard arrived at, what, about four o'clock in the morning?

Four o'clock the next morning, yes.

So it was a long night.

That it was.

I mean, like I said, I've never seen anything like it.

I don't want to ever relive Sunday.

I mean, that's

it.

It got really dicey, and I have friends out here and customers that were standing with me.

I would never be able to live with myself if anything happened to any one of them.

So

it turned out how it did.

I want to get to the ending of this story here in a second, but

I want to ask you, how do Californians and business people

react

when you've been told by the governor and specifically the mayor of Los Angeles has been, I think, one of the worst.

It said, we're not fully going to be reopened until there's a cure for coronavirus.

They've been arresting people that have been surfing on the beaches.

They've kept stores closed, all because of coronavirus.

And now they're saying that it's okay.

And in fact, the mayor of Los Angeles is marching down the street with the protesters at times without a mask.

Does this make sense to you?

How do you process that?

It's like a double standard.

You know, it's just like,

you know, you tell the stores that are open that you have to have social distancing and you have to wear a mask,

but you can gather and these humongous...

I mean, I couldn't,

5,000 people down there on Sunday.

Nobody, you know, most wearing masks, but a lot not wearing masks and not social distancing.

And, you know, it's just, and then, you know, like you were saying,

you know, the mayor, and it's the, it's just put a lot of businesses

in dire straits.

I mean, they're, they're struggling to make it.

So what do people in California that you know, Joe, say of this?

Because I think there's a lot of people around the country that say, wait a minute,

I do believe the coronavirus was real, but did they just take advantage of this?

Did they believe any of this?

Why are doctors now coming out and saying that

racism is a plague on humanity?

And so, if you're going to protest racism, that's more important than the coronavirus.

How are doctors saying these things when

so many people have lost their jobs or lost their businesses how do you reconcile this in California with your leadership

that's one of the

same questions I mean it's just like we're ready to reopen I mean I I my you know the barber shops the hairdressers nail salons the restaurants especially the restaurants I mean this is the you know most people they you know they nobody goes home and cooks a meal anymore because both parents have to work you know it's just

you know so we're ready for it to open up.

We're ready for business to get back to normal.

And

it's been tough.

And then, like I said,

with all this on top of it, and then you use the coronavirus,

but it's okay to protest.

And

it just, I know a lot of people that are ready for all this to end and just get back to some normality here.

Let me just take you to the ending of the story.

The next day, you saw a guy with a broom.

Tell me what happened.

The next day, the sun was coming up.

The National Guard unmade its way downtown.

I'm just like, wow.

You know, we have a few helicopters up there, but the light is starting to come out.

I see a middle-aged black gentleman coming down the street with a broom and his dustpan.

And he says, we have to start somewhere.

And it was just...

It was beautiful.

And I mean, within an hour, the community, I mean, it was a beautiful thing.

The community came together, and you couldn't even tell within by the by 12 noon Monday, all the graffiti was gone,

everything was gone.

Glass was cleaned up, windows were boarded.

I mean, it was a community coming together.

It was nice.

Joe, thanks for ending it there.

God bless you.

Thank you.

And best to

you and your customers at Broadway Wine and Spirits in Santa Monica.

I have to tell you, I think one of the biggest things that people are going to have to deal with soon is

how do you make sense of these two things?

They still can't open up.

They still can't open up because of coronavirus, but how do you make sense of this?

And how do you make sense in 21 days if you don't see a lot of people getting sick?

All right.

Our sponsor is American Financing.

You need to cut all unnecessary expenditures.

And how about if I told you that an unnecessary expenditure is a lot of the interest that you are paying on your house on your mortgage payment?

Unnecessary.

Because when you made that deal, even if you made it at the first of this year,

interest rates were a lot higher than they are right now.

And

every sliver of a percentage point that you can get on your mortgage ends up to be a lot of money.

So if your mortgage is now over 4% or at 4%,

AmericanFinancing.net may be able to save you hundreds, if not over thousands of dollars every single month.

This is the Glimbeck program.

Oh, some really good news from The Hill.

They've done some investigative reporting, Pat, and I think you and everybody else needs to go into the weekend with this good news.

The Hill is now reporting it's likely that it is Antifa,

not white supremacist neo-Nazis behind the anarchy in America streets.

Oh, no.

Really?

It's likely that?

Yeah.

It's likely.

It's likely.

A stunning surprise.

Now, by the way, if it is white supremacists or neo-Nazis, they're the same people.

They want anarchy.

They want a destruction to the United States of America.

They want socialism.

They don't agree with the Bill of Rights.

They don't agree with the Constitution of America.

So, same thing.

Same thing.

But

it's most likely.

I shouldn't say most likely.

It is likely now, according to the Hill, to be antifa.

So got that going for it.

Surprise.

Can I ask you,

you follow sports?

I do.

I obviously, if you were listening yesterday, I don't.

But Drew Brees,

when last I left this story, he apologized yesterday in a lengthy tweet.

Very.

Yes.

But apparently that wasn't quite enough.

And now...

In a video, he has apologized further because there was so much more to say.

And here's what he said.

So much to say.

I know there's not much that I can say that would make things any better right now.

But I'm going to say it anymore.

You should see in my eyes how sorry I am.

I do see your eyes.

The comments that I made yesterday.

I know that it hurt many people, especially

friends, teammates,

former teammates,

loved ones.

People that I have.

We have a soap opera organ by people.

Sarah?

That was never my intention.

Never.

I wish I would have laid out what was on my heart.

What?

The George Floyd murder, Ahmaud Arbery,

the years and years of social injustice, police brutality,

and the need for so much reform and change.

Yeah,

now you realize

the country sucks.

I said a couple of days ago that I love this country and that it's disrespectful

to disrespect the country.

But now I realize it sucks.

So why is he doing this?

Because

I'm sure.

But the owner of St.

Louis, I mean, he's pretty conservative, isn't he?

I mean, he's not going to get...

Yeah, New Orleans.

Yeah.

New Orleans.

No, he was not.

He's not going to get fired.

But I'm sure that with all the praise and adoration that Drew Brees gets, the Twitter mob that came down on him the other day had to be.

It had to surprise him and scare him because he's not used to that.

You know, we are because we get it all the time.

But I'm sure Drew Brees wasn't used to that.

And then when he's even got teammates coming down on him, that makes it tough.

So what I'm guessing now is not only has he apologized with about an 84-page

social media apology and then the video.

I predict he's going to kneel with his teammates when the season rolls around.

Well, now, wait a minute.

Hang on, Dutch.

I think that he, I think before he kneels at the open of the season, something has to happen sooner than that.

I think he may take a knee as he strikes a match and lights maybe the National Archives on fire or or something like that to show that he really is in solidarity.

Well, you're right.

Yeah, because the season's not coming soon enough.

It needs to be.

No, it's got to be.

He's got to make a statement.

It's got to be bold.

Maybe he can,

I don't know.

Maybe he can take an old blow-up Bozo doll

and just beat the president to death with it if he could get in the same room with him.

Just takes that blow-up Bozo doll and just beats him over and over again in the head.

But it's got to be on social media.

It's got to be live on Instagram or Facebook or something like that.

What if he does a Facebook live spray painting of the Lincoln Memorial?

Would that be enough?

If he spray paints Black Lives Matter

on Abraham Lincoln.

He cannot, if he's doing that in black spray paint, that's fine, but he cannot spray the entire statue black.

We leave the face white.

You cannot make it white, Drew.

Or you can't make it black.

Don't use spray paint.

Oh, no, then it's one black black face.

That would be horrible.

Yeah, then it would be very, very bad.

Very bad.

And you would never be able to keep your late-night show with NBC.

Oh, wait, no, that's somebody else.

But anyway,

this, you know,

it's,

I was going to say sad, but it's actually a little disappointing.

Very.

To see somebody come out and say what he did.

Look, I'm never going to disrespect the flag and what it stands for.

And I don't agree with people who do that.

There's nothing wrong with that.

There's nothing wrong with that.

How is that hurtful?

How was that hurtful?

We've got to stop being bullied.

This is authoritarian.

And if we don't stand up now and start saying, no, I'm not going to play that game anymore.

I will say what I mean and I mean what I say.

And

I'm not going to play your little game anymore.

I'm not going to.

Black Lives Matter is not a good group.

Read their website.

Look at what they actually believe and are advocating.

You don't agree with that, so don't say you're with Black Lives Matter unless you've read that.
