Speaker 5 Hey, thank you so much.

Speaker 6 It is Friday. Come here, Uno.

Speaker 7 Come here.

Speaker 4 Come here. Yes.

Speaker 8 Hello. Who's a vicious killer?

Speaker 9 Yes.

Speaker 12 This is my vicious killer, Uno, who follows me around all the time.

Speaker 14 And I love him.

Speaker 15 He's a member of the family.

Speaker 14 And we want the best for him.

Speaker 19 And that's why we're proud to have as a sponsor, Rough Greens.

Speaker 24 At roughgreens.com/slash Beck, you can find this supplement, and I put it on my dog's food.

Speaker 14 Pat, you use Rough Greens, don't you? Sure do.

Speaker 28 And my dog

Speaker 30 loves it.

Speaker 31 She loves it. Right?

Speaker 12 It's like dog crack.

Speaker 32 It really is.

Speaker 33 I don't know what they put in it, but it is like dog crack.

Speaker 34 Yep.

Speaker 29 It used to take her all day to eat her food.

Speaker 28 She gobbles it down in like one minute now.

Speaker 35 Right. And here's the thing.

Speaker 36 He never, we couldn't get him past 95 pounds.

Speaker 39 He should be about a 110.

Speaker 15 He's now at 110.

Speaker 42 We've never been able to get him at the right weight.

Speaker 43 With rough greens, we have no problem.

Speaker 45 And it's not fat that he's added.

Speaker 46 It's muscle tone.

Speaker 37 He's more active.

Speaker 48 Try it with your dog for 14 days.

Speaker 50 See if it makes a difference. You're going to see a difference.

Speaker 12 Roughgreens.com slash Beck, a supplement that has all the probiotics and everything they need in their food that they can't get anywhere else.

Speaker 55 It's roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833 Glenn33.

Speaker 57 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 60 This is the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 61 Oh my gosh, and it is the Glen Beck program. Hello, America.

Speaker 65 It's Friday from the Standing Rock Ranch.

Speaker 14 We are so glad that you have tuned in today.

Speaker 3 Yesterday,

Speaker 52 I was a little upset.

Speaker 65 I still have a very twitchy eye and

Speaker 68 shaky trigger figure.

Speaker 52 I may go off.

Speaker 42 I've got a rant

Speaker 69 that

Speaker 70 I'm trying not to

Speaker 72 express, but I don't think I'm going to make it today because I just saw something new in the news.

Speaker 28 That, you know,

Speaker 75 Pat,

Speaker 73 what was that law called that they had in 1807 that George Bush used during Katrina?

Speaker 73 Donald Trump has been saying that he'd use it against the rioters.

Speaker 82 It was the

Speaker 4 insurrection,

Speaker 34 insurrection law, right?

Speaker 54 That's what it was.

Speaker 62 Yeah, Maxine Waters now says it's insulting to call these riots, they're not riots,

Speaker 68 they're an insurrection.

Speaker 4 Oh,

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 34 All right.

Speaker 5 Deep breaths as we begin in 60 seconds.

Speaker 56 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 22 Okay. Let me tell you about American financing.

Speaker 86 American financing, one of those painful but necessary things.

Speaker 14 If you own a house, you have to make mortgage payments, which means you have interest.

Speaker 89 Now, here's one of the painful things.

Speaker 92 We can put some salve on some aloe, some aloe, and that is this.

Speaker 45 Interest rates are at historic lows.

Speaker 24 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%.

Speaker 10 And American financing can help.

Speaker 78 Now you can save hundreds of dollars, in some cases over $1,000.

Speaker 51 And if you consolidate loans, if you have credit cards, first thing, unless it's an American Express and you

Speaker 48 have to pay it off every month, I so highly recommend my parents.

Speaker 104 I remember, gosh, it must have been in the like 1970 or something, because I barely remember this.

Speaker 24 But I remember standing in front of the fireplace and my parents cutting up their credit cards and saying, this got us into trouble.

Speaker 20 Credit cards are really dangerous.

Speaker 97 And so my whole life, we were only allowed to carry American Express.

Speaker 106 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.

Speaker 46 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.

Speaker 51 And American Financing can help you with a 10-minute phone call at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440,

Speaker 10 Financing.net.

Speaker 114 American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 114 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 115 It's Friday

Speaker 112 in God's country, the United States of America.

Speaker 63 Oh, my gosh, did he just say this was God's country?

Speaker 117 Yep.

Speaker 118 Yep, I did.

Speaker 41 Now, we're not necessarily God's people anymore but we we are in God's country and

Speaker 14 he'll make sure that a righteous people take control of this land and it may not be us hurry time's a wasting

Speaker 14 I have some information that I want to pass on to you maybe today but definitely on on Monday but

Speaker 12 We are having a powerful, powerful wake-up call, and there's two ways to go.

Speaker 22 We can do something positive about it and something with real meaning that will have real

Speaker 22 effect,

Speaker 123 or we can just get angry.

Speaker 22 And all of my email from all of my friends was saying the same thing yesterday.

Speaker 11 Glenn, man,

Speaker 53 oh, thank you for that monologue.

Speaker 128 You were so angry and I'm so angry.

Speaker 129 And they just

Speaker 69 vomited poison out, just like I did yesterday, and probably will again later on in the program.

Speaker 131 It's the anger has to be expressed

Speaker 10 because there are some things that just don't make any sense anymore.

Speaker 43 Don't make any sense.

Speaker 100 And some people are really hurting.

Speaker 133 This COVID thing,

Speaker 27 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.

Speaker 137 And so

Speaker 123 they had to take that out.

Speaker 44 And it was a cancerous tumor.

Speaker 138 They had to take that out.

Speaker 125 And if it spread out of his kidneys,

Speaker 92 he would die because he wouldn't be able to take any kind of chemotherapy with bad kidneys.

Speaker 139 He was told because of COVID that that was an elective operation.

Speaker 142 That was elective.

Speaker 129 No, plastic surgery is elective.

Speaker 14 So he just had his surgery just a few days ago and just found out that it didn't spread, thank God.

Speaker 96 But now he's got to wait for his kidneys.

Speaker 142 This should have been done two months ago.

Speaker 64 He could have died.

Speaker 133 He spent all of this time,

Speaker 24 the whole time of COVID, thinking,

Speaker 15 I'm going to die.

Speaker 145 It's going to spread past my kidneys and I'm not going to be able to get kidneys.

Speaker 147 I'm dead.

Speaker 146 How many people went through this?

Speaker 84 How many people, as we're watching George Floyd's funeral today,

Speaker 68 as we're watching this,

Speaker 133 and Nancy Pelosi is sitting

Speaker 86 in the third row or second row, and she's not wearing a mask?

Speaker 78 I ask myself, do any of these people actually believe anything?

Speaker 86 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?

Speaker 149 Why?

Speaker 14 Did you know that

Speaker 63 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.

Speaker 21 And it's a bigger battle.

Speaker 137 And so if you have to not social distance, are you kidding me?

Speaker 150 You destroyed our economy.

Speaker 95 20% unemployment.

Speaker 6 We had the lowest to 20%.

Speaker 27 Boy, this is all starting to feel like it was a setup, doesn't it?

Speaker 46 Leon Wolf is

Speaker 37 the editor of

Speaker 50 The Blaze, TheBlaze.com.

Speaker 46 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.

Speaker 74 I woke up today really angry, and I have some things I got to get off my chest.

Speaker 92 I've been withdrawing from Twitter lately because of the toxicity of this place.

Speaker 87 It's not good for me, or probably the country, but it's time to say some things regardless of how people react.

Speaker 36 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.

Speaker 74 So I didn't wake up last week to discover these things existed.

Speaker 155 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.

Speaker 92 And I have been for a long time, just so we're on the same page.

Speaker 79 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.

Speaker 76 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.

Speaker 24 They're not saying this figuratively, but literally.

Speaker 76 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.

Speaker 162 White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19

Speaker 75 and contributes to COVID-19.

Speaker 27 So having established that, I think the fight for the police reform is really important.

Speaker 6 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?

Speaker 141 Was it not important that people, especially small business owners and employees, are able to feed their families?

Speaker 162 Is it not important that, you know, black people have jobs?

Speaker 164 Black unemployment was at, or black employment was at historic highs in March.

Speaker 83 Now less than half of black people are employed.

Speaker 121 I'll tell you one reason I'm especially raw today.

Speaker 46 One of my closest, dearest friends died last week.

Speaker 10 I'm going to his funeral today.

Speaker 51 Thank God it's being held in Arkansas.

Speaker 31 Otherwise, it couldn't even exist.

Speaker 94 Well, unless you're George Floyd.

Speaker 72 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.

Speaker 92 But what killed him were complications for underlying health conditions that had him hospitalized since late March.

Speaker 62 For the last eight weeks of his life, he lived totally alone.

Speaker 150 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.

Speaker 166 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.

Speaker 129 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.

Speaker 33 How many people sat there and suffered the same indignity silently because they were told there was no choice?

Speaker 151 I'll tell you what conclusion I draw from

Speaker 167 the lack of testisking,

Speaker 112 how do you pronounce this, tistisking, the condemnation of these current protesters.

Speaker 168 Yes, even the peaceful ones.

Speaker 76 That they're going to kill grandma with their activities.

Speaker 90 Why isn't anyone saying that?

Speaker 133 It's the only conclusion that can be drawn.

Speaker 169 The conclusion that they didn't really believe what they were saying all along.

Speaker 14 Because an infectious disease does not care about the reason you're gathering or how important it is.

Speaker 141 It has no social conscience or conscience of any kind.

Speaker 139 Which leads me to believe that they were doing it because of politics or desire to control or whatever.

Speaker 40 I don't really know.

Speaker 33 But most definitely, not because they actually believed we would all die.

Speaker 73 So much loss, so much damage, so much grief, for apparently for nothing.

Speaker 121 God, I hope people are held accountable for this somehow.

Speaker 12 I have to tell you,

Speaker 46 it doesn't matter anymore if any of this was real.

Speaker 45 Because I don't think you can contain the conspiracy theories that will go on now forever.

Speaker 45 And those conspiracy theories may be right.

Speaker 11 I think there's a growing body of evidence.

Speaker 22 I mean,

Speaker 106 let me give you this

Speaker 52 story about

Speaker 17 Maxine Waters here.

Speaker 78 This Maxine Waters story where she's saying a protest is an insurrection.

Speaker 46 A protest is an insurrection.

Speaker 150 You know, that's an amazing thing to say.

Speaker 96 She says, rational political expressions of dissatisfaction and and rebellion. It's extremely clear.

Speaker 10 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.

Speaker 86 It's the language of rioting that I refuse to

Speaker 26 give up on,

Speaker 46 referring to the protest of 92 as an insurrection.

Speaker 175 And she calls the new ones

Speaker 46 an insurrection as well.

Speaker 36 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.

Speaker 124 And

Speaker 31 what's different about this moment from that moment?

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 41 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.

Speaker 149 Most know there's not going to be a job.

Speaker 46 You've got poor people who don't know where their next meal is coming from and looking to the government and

Speaker 178 whether or not they're going to get more money in a stimulus plan.

Speaker 93 That's what's happening here.

Speaker 146 Now, wait a minute.

Speaker 44 Hang on just a second.

Speaker 162 So you're now saying, Maxine Waters, that it's okay for these rioters to go out and riot in the streets.

Speaker 68 It wasn't when people had a chance a couple of weeks into it to be able to open up their businesses again.

Speaker 143 And when they said, hey, I'm not getting any help from the government, you said, you cannot let those people out.

Speaker 49 Those people are dangerous.

Speaker 3 But now that

Speaker 148 a group of, well, to use your words,

Speaker 2 insurrectionists,

Speaker 119 Now that they're out on the street, you support them.

Speaker 122 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?

Speaker 159 Well, that's what you did, Maxine Waters.

Speaker 143 That's what you did.

Speaker 82 You did.

Speaker 129 You and the press.

Speaker 87 The president has been saying the whole time, leave it up to the states.

Speaker 123 Leave it up to the states. Leave it up to the states.

Speaker 143 You said that was irresponsible.

Speaker 17 40 million people unemployed.

Speaker 108 Again, that's you.

Speaker 46 Seniors graduating from high school that don't know what they're going to do.

Speaker 168 We've been telling you there's no reason for schools to be closed, but you keep saying there is a reason.

Speaker 158 In fact, our schools, our colleges are supposed to be closed

Speaker 133 in the fall.

Speaker 101 For what?

Speaker 120 For what?

Speaker 149 I want to take a break.

Speaker 122 Because I have to tell you, I don't.

Speaker 41 I'm sorry, I don't believe that anybody in the media believed anything about COVID.

Speaker 17 I don't.

Speaker 43 I don't believe that this destruction of our economy

Speaker 10 is a coincidence.

Speaker 154 I just don't.

Speaker 10 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.

Speaker 133 Excuse me?

Speaker 5 I don't think this is a coincidence.

Speaker 53 I think there is a group of people that want this to happen.

Speaker 123 They have either

Speaker 154 taken advantage of conditions or they have set up those conditions.

Speaker 175 I don't know which at this point, and there is no one to tell us the truth.

Speaker 48 There's no one I trust to tell the truth.

Speaker 31 So what does this mean?

Speaker 4 Well,

Speaker 92 an insurrection.

Speaker 22 An insurrection. Not a riot.
An insurrection, according to Maxine Waters.

Speaker 71 So what does that mean?

Speaker 89 Because I looked it up and I wanted to make sure I had it right and compare it to different words.

Speaker 14 I'll go there in one minute.

Speaker 128 All right, My Pillow.

Speaker 144 If you are tossing and turning every night, you need My Pillow.

Speaker 94 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.

Speaker 10 And it's not just My Pillow that is great.

Speaker 98 They have all kinds of products for your bed that will really change the way you sleep and make it a pleasant thing.

Speaker 108 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.

Speaker 4 And I'd be like, oh, geez.

Speaker 155 And I think I've conquered.

Speaker 174 I've cracked the code.

Speaker 46 And MyPillow and some of their products have really helped.

Speaker 45 They've played a big role in cracking that code for sleep, at least for me.

Speaker 50 We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 46 You know, I looked up insurrection in the dictionary.

Speaker 22 Now that Maxine Waters is saying that we should not

Speaker 184 call this

Speaker 67 a riot, this is an insurrection.

Speaker 4 Hmm.

Speaker 154 Well, that's the Insurrection Act of 1807 that you said was so bad to employ.

Speaker 24 How am I misunderstanding the word insurrection?

Speaker 159 So I looked it up.

Speaker 22 It's a noun, insurrection, a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Speaker 59 Hmm.

Speaker 87 Against an authority could be cops.

Speaker 74 Because I know a lot of people say we just have to disband the cops.

Speaker 31 That's a good idea.

Speaker 79 That's been done.

Speaker 10 So many societies and civilizations have had no prisons and no cops.

Speaker 15 I don't know why we invented this here in America.

Speaker 103 Okay, so a violent uprising against an authority or a government.

Speaker 156 Similar words.

Speaker 177 Rebellion.

Speaker 82 Let's see.

Speaker 134 Ah, get the rebels of the South.

Speaker 167 That's right.

Speaker 88 That was the Civil War.

Speaker 186 Rebellion, revolt, uprising, mutiny, revolution.

Speaker 53 Stop me when you think I get to a good word.

Speaker 154 Insurgency, insurgence, sedition, there's a good one.

Speaker 22 Ooh, anarchy, a coup, a coup d'état, or my personal favorite as a synonym for insurrection, a putsch,

Speaker 117 which is what Hitler went to jail for.

Speaker 66 The difference between rebellion and insurrection.

Speaker 31 A rebellion is unaccountable armed resistance to an established government or ruler, while insurrection is organized,

Speaker 45 Organized opposition to an authority, a mutiny, a rebellion.

Speaker 4 Oh.

Speaker 43 Well, this is so good. No, no, no.

Speaker 187 It gets worse if you care to go there. Just open up your dictionary today.

Speaker 174 All right.

Speaker 35 We're going to tell you how this has happened before and no one cared with Matt Walsh next.

Speaker 24 When Pete and Seth Talbot founded Relief Factor, they wanted just to to help people in pain.

Speaker 38 These guys are really big.

Speaker 16 They're just really big God guys and really good people.

Speaker 74 And their whole life really is spent just trying to help people.

Speaker 42 So they wanted to come up with a product that would help people and then it would also help fund things.

Speaker 39 All their money really is going into things that

Speaker 4 help people.

Speaker 74 They're doing so much missionary work here and abroad.

Speaker 39 I mean, it's really an amazing thing.

Speaker 22 Anyway,

Speaker 13 people take drugs to manage pain, and we're on way too many drugs.

Speaker 46 And the results are not very helpful.

Speaker 45 And we're getting addicted to prescription drugs because of

Speaker 21 pain.

Speaker 105 I've had severe pain for the last, I don't know,

Speaker 14 10 years, and it was debilitating until I started taking Relief Factor.

Speaker 89 That's when I got my life back, and you can too.

Speaker 189 Just try it.

Speaker 48 Relief Factor has helped me paint, has helped me build this barn in this studio.

Speaker 46 Yes, believe it or not, I had a hammer in my hands for several days because of Relief Factor 800, 500, 83, 84.

Speaker 23 Welcome to the program, Mr. Matt Walsh.

Speaker 127 He's the author of The Church of Cowards, also the host of the Matt Walsh Show.

Speaker 128 Matt, welcome.

Speaker 190 Hey, Gwen, thanks for having me.

Speaker 41 You bet. You know, I want to,

Speaker 36 I know we were going to talk about Tony Timpa, and we will, because it's really important what you've exposed here.

Speaker 179 But I just want to ask you, as I think this is a very relevant question and your book handles this well,

Speaker 129 what do you mean by the church of cowards?

Speaker 190 Well, I mean, you know, when we look around at

Speaker 190 the church in the country today,

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 as our First Amendment rights were totally obliterated

Speaker 190 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,

Speaker 190 I've been proven right by this, but I think I have been.

Speaker 174 So, Matt, what do you draw from

Speaker 14 this? We were just talking about it.

Speaker 35 I mean, this is the Reichstag fire now.

Speaker 74 And just like the Reichstag fire, it may have been started by communists.

Speaker 79 It may have just been taken advantage of, or it could have been started by the Nazis.

Speaker 53 You don't really know for sure.

Speaker 113 And I think what's coming our way

Speaker 147 is

Speaker 127 a large part, part and parcel with

Speaker 92 the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Speaker 14 You would not have been able to have this kind of unrest without 20% unemployment.

Speaker 129 And you could make the case, I think, pretty easily, that this was either planned or it was just used

Speaker 149 and then they hatched a plan along the way.

Speaker 43 I mean, I don't think we'll ever really know.

Speaker 166 Do you have an opinion on this?

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 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?

Speaker 190 Have we forgotten Dallas, where five police officers were executed at a BLM protest?

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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?

Speaker 190 I don't know why we're pretending that. Well, I guess I do know why.

Speaker 190 I'm being intentionally naive, but we should not pretend that because it is a violent movement, in my opinion.

Speaker 44 I will tell you, Matt, that was the same thought I had yesterday.

Speaker 37 I was watching this stuff, and I thought, we are just, we're cleansing.

Speaker 10 As a society, we're cleansing BLM.

Speaker 22 And

Speaker 15 we're saying, well, they're not Antifa.

Speaker 82 Well, yeah, they are. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 64 Their goals are much the same

Speaker 185 as Antifa, and their actions are much the same.

Speaker 22 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

Speaker 161 who were

Speaker 127 not just church members, but church leaders

Speaker 4 were

Speaker 142 going ahead with the black box movement on this last Tuesday.

Speaker 129 If you go to the black box movement website,

Speaker 159 they provide education for you, one of which is the 1619 project, which is thoroughly discredited.

Speaker 52 A horrible, horrible look at history, makes our founders, our pilgrims, into

Speaker 183 nothing but racists.

Speaker 128 Where do we go

Speaker 78 for truth if our own pastors and preachers can't find truth?

Speaker 190 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,

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 But the message of the protests, I agree with. I mean, I support the message.
I support the message. Well, do you really?

Speaker 190 Because look at what go to Black Lives Matter website and look at what they're saying about America and what they stand for.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 They just kill black people.

Speaker 190 We're a country infected by the virus of white supremacy, and white supremacists are killing black people every day.

Speaker 190 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?

Speaker 190 I thought we were supposed to be standing against this kind of nonsense.

Speaker 34 We better stand against this.

Speaker 11 Well, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 96 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.

Speaker 48 George Floyd's not a hero. He's not a martyr.

Speaker 179 He was a very bad guy.

Speaker 36 He should have been a criminal that went to jail.

Speaker 111 He should not have been somebody who was killed by a police officer.

Speaker 129 So I separate this with the police officer.

Speaker 73 I want to see him go to jail.

Speaker 49 And that part I support.

Speaker 74 And I want to see that

Speaker 141 all of our cops are as clean as possible that they can be.

Speaker 159 I support that.

Speaker 86 But I don't support Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 79 I don't support what they want.

Speaker 6 And I don't support the so-called protesters because

Speaker 142 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.

Speaker 112 Neither of those do I agree with.

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 59 day one.

Speaker 190 They arrested the officer. I mean, there's really not much else to be said about it.

Speaker 190 We're all on the same page.

Speaker 84 And that's how we're doing it. It's a very rare time where we are this,

Speaker 17 where we're this lockstep in United in America.

Speaker 11 We had about one day where everyone was united in America.

Speaker 93 Everybody said, oh, yeah, this is horrible.

Speaker 126 And then all of a sudden, we were made to believe like we disagreed with each other.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 22 So, Matt, you have made Tony Timpa rather famous this week, a name I had never heard of.

Speaker 14 I live in Dallas.

Speaker 45 I didn't even know this story.

Speaker 174 Tell a story of Tony Timpa.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 Very similar situation to George Floyd.

Speaker 190 He was being arrested. They were on top of him.
He couldn't breathe. He said many times,

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 It's at least as bad as George Floyd, if not worse.

Speaker 29 And yet. Oh, I think it's.

Speaker 96 I have to tell you, I think it's worse because he wasn't in a criminal act.

Speaker 147 We have to separate the act from the killing.

Speaker 14 They are two separate things.

Speaker 96 But here's a totally innocent guy who is calling and saying, help me, and they kill him.

Speaker 129 That's more insane than he thought he was.

Speaker 190 Exactly.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 that I've mentioned, a little bit more well-known, but that video is just the worst thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 I mean, that's what they said happened to Michael Brown. It didn't happen to Michael Brown.
That was a lie.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 The important point is that

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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?

Speaker 190 If we don't, and you're going around saying he was racist, that is irresponsible, reckless, and

Speaker 190 you have no reason to be saying it other than maybe you want it to be true for your narrative.

Speaker 28 Hey, Matt, it's Pat Gray.

Speaker 28 Do you know if any of the police officers were ever charged in this death? Did anybody

Speaker 28 brought to justice over Tony Timpa?

Speaker 190 I don't believe. I know in the case of Daniel Shaver,

Speaker 190 there was no conviction. Wow.
And I believe that was the case for Tony Timpa as well.

Speaker 40 This is amazing.

Speaker 102 I mean, they were joking.

Speaker 140 They thought he was asleep.

Speaker 152 They tried to wake him.

Speaker 21 It's time for school.

Speaker 155 Wake up.

Speaker 11 I don't want to go to school.

Speaker 44 Five more minutes, mom, said the other officer.

Speaker 46 They joke about buying him new shoes for the first day of school, making him special breakfast, laughing loudly.

Speaker 115 He is

Speaker 72 dead.

Speaker 70 And there was nobody that even cared about this story.

Speaker 41 Nobody that even cared.

Speaker 123 So I think this says,

Speaker 145 if I'm not mistaken, Matt, you're not playing whataboutism.

Speaker 45 You are saying that there is a problem with the police departments, but not all police departments are not all police.

Speaker 107 But there is something to be said for

Speaker 10 the brutality that sometimes happens

Speaker 87 with certain cops.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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,

Speaker 190 then what the hell are we going to say about Tony Timpson, Daniel Schaefer, and the others?

Speaker 190 How does that fit with the theory? So there's obviously something else going on here. And

Speaker 190 I think that's how we have to look at it. And, you know, by the way,

Speaker 190 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,

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 we need a different explanation other than the racial one to get to the bottom of the police brutality issue.

Speaker 123 Let me go to Kate in Connecticut.

Speaker 68 Hello, Kate.

Speaker 192 Hi, Glenn. How are you today?

Speaker 81 I'm good. How are you?

Speaker 190 Good. You asked a question a few short minutes ago that

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 since Trump announced that he was going to run for president.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 We put him in office. So

Speaker 190 since then, it's been nothing but absolute chaos.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 So now we went from coronavirus into,

Speaker 190 let's just burn the house down.

Speaker 190 like

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 Now, Antifa is going to make sure that America dies.

Speaker 103 And it catas.

Speaker 157 Go ahead. You're starting to see.

Speaker 190 I'm starting to see cracks.

Speaker 190 I see it on TV when I watch just regular cable TV. I'm not talking about CNN or MSNBC, but

Speaker 190 GOP, the GOP is starting to crack. Everybody is

Speaker 190 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

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 That's what I've been thinking this last week.

Speaker 36 Well, Kate, I have to tell you, my feeling on this is bring it on.

Speaker 25 Bring it on.

Speaker 29 I'm not going to cower in a corner.

Speaker 155 As everyone is fully aware, Donald Trump

Speaker 184 was not my pick for president,

Speaker 112 but he is our president.

Speaker 38 I respect him him for that.

Speaker 44 And I told you, my audience, that I would judge him based on the things that he does.

Speaker 68 Right now, he's been, I think, a little too distant or too far out

Speaker 24 of what's going on and needs to be talking to the American people more than he has.

Speaker 62 And he just needs to have a positive outlook and just do the right thing.

Speaker 45 He doesn't need to combat these people anymore.

Speaker 141 They are, he doesn't need to point this out.

Speaker 61 America sees it.

Speaker 82 They do.

Speaker 95 And if, honestly, if they are dumb enough to continue to fall for this, they're on their own.

Speaker 132 I'm not going to be a part of it.

Speaker 33 I won't give up the fight for the constitutional rights the way we have it.

Speaker 96 I think we are seeing,

Speaker 14 well, Maxine Waters said it right.

Speaker 6 She said that this isn't a riot.

Speaker 46 It's an insurrection.

Speaker 138 She said that as if it's a good thing.

Speaker 52 An insurrection is exactly the law, the name of the law that the

Speaker 122 president said he would pull out and use if these governors didn't get control of their states, the insurrection law of 1807.

Speaker 183 Well, that's outrageous. How could you do that?

Speaker 150 Well, she's saying it's an insurrection.

Speaker 85 That's the law that applies to insurrection.

Speaker 146 This isn't about just changing the police.

Speaker 162 I wish it was.

Speaker 158 I really do, because I think that's where most people are.

Speaker 175 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

Speaker 96 Those guys are going to jail.

Speaker 123 They're going to jail. And everybody's going to be for that.

Speaker 21 But it's not about that.

Speaker 186 It's not about that.

Speaker 52 You have a wild,

Speaker 87 I think, at times, a guy who sounds very racist.

Speaker 37 Anybody who says that, you know, white America is a problem is just as racist as anybody that says black America is the problem.

Speaker 186 But

Speaker 103 you have him going in and trying this.

Speaker 91 So what is this about?

Speaker 183 Is this about

Speaker 10 somebody going to jail?

Speaker 85 Or is this just about pointing out, because we're all with that.

Speaker 79 We don't want this to happen anymore.

Speaker 121 But that's not what it is.

Speaker 111 This is about

Speaker 14 collapsing the government of the United States of America.

Speaker 43 It's not even about Donald Trump. This is much bigger than Donald Trump now.

Speaker 129 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.

Speaker 88 That's what this is really all about.

Speaker 73 This is the the end game.

Speaker 133 And when you said you see cracks, I see more cracks happening right now

Speaker 14 where the American people are going, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 21 What happened to coronavirus?

Speaker 100 Wait, I lost my job. I lost my

Speaker 10 business.

Speaker 139 And wait, I don't, you guys didn't even believe it.

Speaker 75 None of you believed it.

Speaker 45 Why did you collapse the economy if it's okay to go outside to protest on something that's being taken care of?

Speaker 96 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?

Speaker 163 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?

Speaker 127 And then you go march in the street.

Speaker 138 You, the same guy who said that, marches in the street with no social distancing.

Speaker 41 You didn't believe that.

Speaker 194 And, you know,

Speaker 14 when you have CNN on television saying this is a a largely

Speaker 103 peaceful protest, and you know, there are 10 going on right now all across the country, and they're peaceful.

Speaker 3 And we go now to our reporter, Heather Wetzersmack, and

Speaker 158 Heather Wutzersmack, what's happening?

Speaker 85 And it goes to her, and there's a car on fire behind her.

Speaker 3 And she's like, oh, well, you know, this did start out to be pretty peaceful.

Speaker 83 And they immediately go, well,

Speaker 86 okay, Heather Weather Smack, here

Speaker 162 we have

Speaker 102 Dick Heathersmack over here, and he's in another city.

Speaker 85 Let's go to him, a peaceful protest.

Speaker 144 And

Speaker 83 he's showing people behind him rioting. No, not really.

Speaker 120 Okay, okay.

Speaker 160 I mean, people are seeing it.

Speaker 133 They're asking you to deny what they're showing you.

Speaker 143 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.

Speaker 122 This is the clearest it's ever been.

Speaker 71 You can't tell me that these people love America and love the Constitution when they are putting up with this kind of stuff.

Speaker 139 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.

Speaker 43 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.

Speaker 186 But let me tell you something.

Speaker 145 Man,

Speaker 48 I know I'm going to narrow cast here, and my job is to broadcast, but I don't, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 It has to be said.

Speaker 118 We are going to fail.

Speaker 152 We will lose this country if we don't turn back to God.

Speaker 87 We must turn back to God.

Speaker 107 God is giving us another...

Speaker 142 I mean, he gives us lifelines after lifelines after lifelines.

Speaker 66 Do you know what the unemployment number is today?

Speaker 151 Should have been 20 or even 25 percent.

Speaker 53 This now is the first number that we have of all those layoffs.

Speaker 143 This is without, this is without any weeks before the coronavirus.

Speaker 76 What is our unemployment number at, Pat?

Speaker 28 It went from 14.7%

Speaker 135 to 13.3%.

Speaker 4 Why?

Speaker 28 Because we added 2.5 million jobs last month.

Speaker 34 Can you believe that?

Speaker 28 After week after week of losing 6 million, 4 million, 3 million, we added 2.5 million jobs last month. That is unreal.

Speaker 21 If that's not a blessing, I mean, we have 25% unemployment, which is what was predicted.

Speaker 10 You know, we have all of these African Americans now out of work.

Speaker 115 We have the youth out of work.

Speaker 53 We have the youth now graduating and not knowing if they're even going to go to college next year.

Speaker 139 That's the Middle East.

Speaker 80 That cannot happen in a stable society.

Speaker 85 And I believe it's beginning to look like it's all been orchestrated.

Speaker 137 Now, I hope to God not.

Speaker 151 But we do have two Americas.

Speaker 96 Let me quickly go to Sophie in Virginia.

Speaker 14 Hello, Sophie.

Speaker 14 Hey, Glenn.

Speaker 34 Hey, Glenn. Hi.

Speaker 196 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.

Speaker 196 Lee statue in Richmond that he's going to take it down.

Speaker 196 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

Speaker 196 abortion is the

Speaker 196 highest killer of black people in history. So I just

Speaker 196 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.

Speaker 190 And

Speaker 190 this

Speaker 196 is not a way to help black people. Erasing southern history and taking down statues is not going to help fight racism.

Speaker 196 It's going to only lead to erasing history. And after they take down these people, like Robert E.

Speaker 196 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.

Speaker 196 And nobody seems to have a problem with it.

Speaker 85 Sophie, do you know where Robert E.

Speaker 185 Lee's house is?

Speaker 196 I don't.

Speaker 17 And you live in Virginia?

Speaker 196 I do. I live in Roanoke.

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 197 Lee's house is.

Speaker 22 It's in Arlington.

Speaker 115 Robert E.

Speaker 77 Lee had a house up on the top of the hill over the Potomac looking into Washington, D.C.

Speaker 45 When we needed to bury the dead, they asked Lincoln, where should we do it?

Speaker 118 And he said, bury the dead in Lee's front yard.

Speaker 168 He should know what he caused.

Speaker 160 So they left his house standing there in Arlington at the cemetery.

Speaker 83 The Arlington National Cemetery was Robert E.

Speaker 165 Lee's home and his land.

Speaker 127 You don't erase history.

Speaker 139 You try to understand and learn from history.

Speaker 93 But all we hear about is, oh, Robert E.

Speaker 118 Lee, we, you know, we immediately glorify this man.

Speaker 124 No, no.

Speaker 129 Arlington should be a stark reminder of Robert E.

Speaker 81 Lee and

Speaker 11 what happens when people go and they

Speaker 36 break away for an unrighteous cause.

Speaker 44 Sophie, thank you so much for your phone call.

Speaker 36 Let me quickly tell you about our sponsor.

Speaker 86 Let me break for one minute and tell you about Omaha Steaks.

Speaker 120 Let me go to Alex on Friday.

Speaker 155 Alex is in California. Hello, Alex.
What's up?

Speaker 155 Hey, Glenn.

Speaker 196 After hearing your show yesterday, I wanted to bring you some hope. So

Speaker 196 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,

Speaker 196 I will do nothing he doesn't command, but freedom will not be lost.

Speaker 168 How old are you, Alex?

Speaker 168 Uh,

Speaker 168 um, 30.

Speaker 46 You're 30. Your voice just sounds very, very young.

Speaker 173 Uh, what does that mean to you?

Speaker 42 You pledge your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor.

Speaker 122 What does that mean?

Speaker 122 Means standing up where it's hard when it's right.

Speaker 122 It means going against the tide when it feels like you're the only one there. It means

Speaker 122 being right with yourself and with God, no matter what.

Speaker 108 Alex, thank you for your phone call.

Speaker 24 I do do the same to you.

Speaker 104 I pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor.

Speaker 117 We can't lose

Speaker 17 freedom in America.

Speaker 176 Because no matter what anyone says on how, you know, bad America is, if America falls,

Speaker 7 the world, freedom falls.

Speaker 161 China, Russia, control the world.

Speaker 96 I don't want to live in a world where China controls most of its people,

Speaker 165 let alone us.

Speaker 21 Do you think they're going to leave us alone?

Speaker 38 You think if we fall and falter, we go into revolution, you think that we're going to...

Speaker 96 First of all, what about the debt?

Speaker 32 What about the debt that we owe to China?

Speaker 40 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?

Speaker 4 Of course they will.

Speaker 122 Of course they will.

Speaker 40 We cannot fall, or the world falls in darkness.

Speaker 5 It's not about my stuff.

Speaker 92 It's not about my life.

Speaker 46 It's not about the president.

Speaker 140 It's about the rights that were entrusted to us.

Speaker 22 To pass on for further generations.

Speaker 24 See, that's the thing that people are not thinking about right now.

Speaker 10 You're not hearing anyone saying, wait a minute, what does this mean for future future generations?

Speaker 96 What does this mean for future generations that we have $25 trillion in debt, a debt we can never, ever repay?

Speaker 78 What does it mean for future generations if we lose

Speaker 22 our system of government?

Speaker 8 Future generations are going to be damned.

Speaker 154 People just think that this just happens.

Speaker 22 It doesn't.

Speaker 25 Let me go to John in North Carolina.

Speaker 144 Hi, John. How are you?

Speaker 190 Good morning, Beck.

Speaker 148 How are you doing?

Speaker 127 I'm very good.

Speaker 59 May everybody know and be aware of what's happening.

Speaker 61 Hang on, John. I can barely hang on.

Speaker 48 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.

Speaker 189 So hang on.

Speaker 102 Back with your voice, America.

Speaker 77 Next.

Speaker 58 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 113 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.

Speaker 32 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.

Speaker 82 Hard work awaits him when the fishing's over, and the day actually begins, but he doesn't care right now.

Speaker 17 He's just there on the lake.

Speaker 121 What's happening on the shore is

Speaker 18 no mind to him.

Speaker 197 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.

Speaker 18 And the tapping, the tapping toe, it's clad in a pair of Tacovis boots.

Speaker 14 Nothing bridges the gap between the idle delight of that moment and the hardworking integrity that awaits him like a pair of Takovis boots.

Speaker 130 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.

Speaker 134 What a good old world it is.

Speaker 23 Find your pair of Takovas at tocovis.com/slash Beck. That's T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com/slash Beck.

Speaker 12 Hello, America.

Speaker 48 Welcome to Friday in all the news that is news, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Speaker 52 NASA is keeping tabs on five asteroids heading towards Earth over the next few days.

Speaker 66 One of them is the size of a stadium.

Speaker 88 According to NASA, their asteroid watch, the largest of the five, is about 1,100 feet wide, roughly the size of a stadium.

Speaker 74 It's expected to be the nearest to the Earth on June 6th.

Speaker 121 They say it doesn't pose a threat.

Speaker 38 Well, I believe that, but then again,

Speaker 52 I've been told that Antifa

Speaker 117 doesn't pose a threat to America either.

Speaker 198 So we'll see.

Speaker 66 Anyone out there praying to be hit by an asteroid?

Speaker 166 I mean, if it was just all of a sudden we're like, oh my gosh, the sky's getting pretty dark.

Speaker 17 Wow, that looks really boom, and we're all dead, would it really.

Speaker 31 I mean, it wouldn't be such a bad option, would it?

Speaker 90 Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 74 There's a couple of other things that I just want to point out before we go back to John in North Carolina.

Speaker 129 Breathing is sacred.

Speaker 53 This is what the protesters are saying now

Speaker 134 in Italy.

Speaker 128 Why are the orange vests

Speaker 194 protesting what's happening in America in Italy?

Speaker 78 Seems as though protests and riots are breaking out all over the world now,

Speaker 96 which is strange

Speaker 5 because

Speaker 93 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.

Speaker 171 Maybe

Speaker 42 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,

Speaker 130 But

Speaker 74 maybe they would care about an end to capitalism, I would think.

Speaker 40 It's going to take their time over in Italy protesting.

Speaker 176 It's kind of weird, isn't it?

Speaker 25 All right, let me go back to John in North Carolina. Hello, John.

Speaker 18 You're on.

Speaker 190 Yes, sir. I just wanted to let people be aware of what's going on in Hillsborough, North Carolina, at the nursing homes.

Speaker 190 My wife's grandpa,

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 The nursing home,

Speaker 190 they offered

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 And he's been tested and has come back negative every time he's been tested for COVID.

Speaker 42 And you're not going to allow that to happen, right?

Speaker 190 No, sir.

Speaker 90 Is anybody in your area covering this in the local news?

Speaker 190 Not that I'm aware of.

Speaker 190 This happened yesterday, and

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 108 Well, I sure think, John, that you need to bring this to a local news station

Speaker 42 after you've gone the rounds and tried to get somebody locally to cover it.

Speaker 115 If they don't, call us back

Speaker 13 and we will cover it.

Speaker 51 This is happening all across America.

Speaker 70 What's happening in our nursing homes is absolutely despicable.

Speaker 105 I mean, it is,

Speaker 40 I hate to say it, but it is almost a cleansing of our nursing homes, the way this has been done.

Speaker 134 When it comes to our nursing homes being held responsible in New York, after a very large donation to

Speaker 81 the governor,

Speaker 15 New York, he signed in a

Speaker 108 new law that would

Speaker 183 keep them from not being responsible for anything that was happening as he just made those death mills.

Speaker 188 Is anybody going to cover that?

Speaker 195 We have to keep record of what's going on.

Speaker 15 Please, please keep a journal because these times are so important, and history will write about these times.

Speaker 14 And depending on who wins, if we don't win, this story is never going to be told.

Speaker 16 You need to keep a journal.

Speaker 29 Mike in Colorado.

Speaker 12 Hi.

Speaker 190 Hi, Glenn. Thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 I believe it's all really, really to get Trump and what you're saying to change America.

Speaker 190 But I also...

Speaker 190 I want to try to give a little bit of hope.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 And

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 I think that the two to three percent that really swing an election,

Speaker 190 I think those people are going to see what's actually happening.

Speaker 190 And because of that, I really do think that Trump's going to get reelected. But on top of that,

Speaker 190 I think the Democrats are really going to suffer a political loss in November because

Speaker 4 we're just going to re-elect.

Speaker 11 I hope so, Mike.

Speaker 23 I hope so.

Speaker 13 But a lot can happen in between now and then.

Speaker 32 But I do hope so.

Speaker 89 I don't think that we survive

Speaker 121 unless there is a reset of justice.

Speaker 197 I just don't think we survive.

Speaker 25 Brennan and Virginia, welcome.

Speaker 190 Hi, Glenn.

Speaker 190 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?

Speaker 156 Oh, I think a huge role.

Speaker 30 Wow, that's a

Speaker 104 out-of-left field kind of thinking.

Speaker 17 Good for you.

Speaker 94 I think a huge role.

Speaker 108 I've always been interested in looking into this, and I've never had the time to do it.

Speaker 90 But someday before I die, I want to research and write a book, if it turns out to be true, that

Speaker 118 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.

Speaker 10 You can't take a guy who was as racist as Johnson and then make him into the the guy who is

Speaker 36 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?

Speaker 122 Was that really just a mistake or was that by design?

Speaker 95 Because it was the turning point in the black community was great society.

Speaker 187 And I think LBJ was was chapter three

Speaker 44 in what I think is a five-chapter book on progressive revolution.

Speaker 42 The progressives knew that Americans didn't want a bloody revolution.

Speaker 88 They would just have to slowly be taken into it.

Speaker 40 And so the first chapter was with the most racist president we've ever had.

Speaker 74 And that's saying something.

Speaker 176 I mean, I put Andrew Jackson in

Speaker 108 that league.

Speaker 54 But the first chapter was Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 121 The second was FDR.

Speaker 52 The third was LBJ.

Speaker 157 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.

Speaker 45 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.

Speaker 14 And I think the university EDU is

Speaker 40 more responsible than any other group in the destruction of

Speaker 4 our country.

Speaker 19 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.

Speaker 22 Which, by the way, reminds me: Mercury One, every summer, has

Speaker 45 a leadership program.

Speaker 51 It's a two-week program for your kids, or maybe you, if you're under 24, it's 18 to 24.

Speaker 185 And it is

Speaker 24 a teaching

Speaker 51 course

Speaker 82 that we have been teaching people in college.

Speaker 188 Some teachers have even joined us on this.

Speaker 104 And you get to hold the actual documents and do the research yourself.

Speaker 87 And it really kind of strips you down at the very beginning and challenges everything you believe.

Speaker 82 And then over a two-week period, it rebuilds it, but based on original sources.

Speaker 119 We don't select everybody who applies.

Speaker 88 This is probably the last year that we're going to be doing it this way

Speaker 42 because hopefully we'll have a very exciting announcement coming up this summer.

Speaker 45 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.

Speaker 70 You can register right now.

Speaker 17 We'll be interviewing people.

Speaker 42 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.

Speaker 108 And you can find it at mercury1.org.

Speaker 14 Let me go to Steve in Virginia. Hello, Steve.

Speaker 14 Glenn.

Speaker 29 So good to hear you.

Speaker 129 Yes, Steve, are you there?

Speaker 11 Good to hear you. I'm glad to be on the show.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 128 And I really like you.

Speaker 190 And I called the day because it's been on my heart. I've been together.

Speaker 134 There's a big butt coming.

Speaker 190 It is.

Speaker 190 You're talking about aha moment. I'm celebrating seven years of complete sobriety today.

Speaker 29 And I thank you for being part of that.

Speaker 190 But you said we need to be

Speaker 109 thank God.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 But I don't know how we do that with the guy that we got in the White House. And I'm just concerned.

Speaker 190 Please, please think about your undivided support for him because the things he says just divides people horribly.

Speaker 190 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.

Speaker 190 And I just, I love you, and I don't want you to lose your witness and your testimony because it's powerful.

Speaker 117 Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 107 First of all, we remain friends.

Speaker 46 We can talk about very divisive things without being divisive.

Speaker 102 So thank you for your courage to call in.

Speaker 15 Thank you for listening all these times.

Speaker 104 And let's have a conversation about this.

Speaker 16 We do have to come back to God.

Speaker 46 That's not a political thing.

Speaker 106 God is in charge of all of it.

Speaker 159 And miracles will happen if the people turn back to him and apologize,

Speaker 40 repent,

Speaker 74 and say, gosh, we've made so many mistakes and we've got to do some soul searching here as a nation.

Speaker 89 And

Speaker 165 we will abide by your laws, Lord.

Speaker 197 We will do what you ask us to do.

Speaker 17 That's all he's requiring for us, and he'll do the rest.

Speaker 67 You know, Donald Trump was not my pick in 2016.

Speaker 104 I warned of these things in 2016.

Speaker 94 However,

Speaker 121 he has done things that no other president has been able to do.

Speaker 65 It bothers me when people say that,

Speaker 70 you know, he's God's hand or something like that.

Speaker 74 I don't think so.

Speaker 113 But I do know this, and you do too, Steve, that

Speaker 198 God can make lemonade out of

Speaker 176 nothing but lemons and bad, nasty lemons.

Speaker 10 He's done it in my life.

Speaker 99 There was no good in my life 25 years ago

Speaker 104 that I was producing light, I think.

Speaker 41 And he has taken my life and your life and every other alcoholic and has turned it around.

Speaker 17 He has this way of making things work.

Speaker 70 I don't know how he works.

Speaker 36 I don't know how he creates.

Speaker 70 I don't know what he's doing.

Speaker 77 I don't know his plan.

Speaker 44 I just know my part.

Speaker 40 And my part is to

Speaker 69 accept the covenant of God that we are his people

Speaker 74 and this is his nation.

Speaker 140 These are his rights, and they don't belong to us.

Speaker 24 They belong to all mankind.

Speaker 32 And our biggest job is to protect those rights, not for ourselves, but for others.

Speaker 86 How we get there, I don't know.

Speaker 12 I do know that there is true, true darkness that is being embraced by the left.

Speaker 74 It is coming from the left, and it is embraced by the Democratic Party.

Speaker 46 There are things that really

Speaker 49 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.

Speaker 16 I thought we would be in worse shape than we are with Donald Trump.

Speaker 70 I was wrong.

Speaker 74 This is in God's hands.

Speaker 121 Do the best you can.

Speaker 48 All right, our sponsor.

Speaker 44 Our sponsor is roughgreens.com and roughgreens.com has changed my dog's life.

Speaker 123 It's changed our life as well.

Speaker 73 I mean, we used to have to stand and, I'm not kidding you, hand feed Uno.

Speaker 13 We hand fed him because he was about 90 pounds.

Speaker 108 He should 90, 95, he should be up at about 110.

Speaker 53 We could never get him to eat.

Speaker 90 And then we found rough greens.

Speaker 90 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.

Speaker 38 I brought it to my vet and said, hey, what do you think of this?

Speaker 31 And she said, please feed this.

Speaker 167 This is great.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 3 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.

Speaker 4 The cowboy.

Speaker 40 Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

Speaker 3 And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be. But what I see in them, I see in other people too.

Speaker 3 Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.

Speaker 3 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?

Speaker 4 Let's all be cowboys.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 28 We're doing pretty much everything from home now, working, banking, video conferences, and cyber criminals are targeting our homes now.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 85 It's surprise!

Speaker 60 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 21 Hello, America.

Speaker 64 It's Friday.

Speaker 31 This hour, the words that I think far too many Americans are afraid to say, afraid to voice, or they just don't feel like they have a voice.

Speaker 72 I'm going to say those words in 60 seconds.

Speaker 56 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 136 I want to talk to you about Rech Tech Grills.

Speaker 6 This is the best Father's Day gift you can give to your dad or to yourself.

Speaker 31 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.

Speaker 155 I've been telling you about this grill.

Speaker 129 It is so rock solid.

Speaker 66 It is made with steel.

Speaker 4 When you go into Home Depot or wherever you're going to buy your grill

Speaker 10 and you see these things, they look nice, but I want you to compare them to a Rectec.

Speaker 90 That thing is built like a 1956 Buick.

Speaker 132 I mean, it is real steel, and it was designed and built by grillers for grillers.

Speaker 10 So this is a community, really.

Speaker 140 When you go to their social media site, you see all the people that are sharing recipes and everything else.

Speaker 52 These are people.

Speaker 36 It's a lifestyle.

Speaker 37 It really is.

Speaker 45 And I now know why, because I've been using a Rectec grill for the last few months.

Speaker 67 And and we cook with it every night.

Speaker 106 We have had absolutely everything, and I've cooked with it every night since we've been up here on the ranch.

Speaker 46 And I mean, anything from chicken to steak to

Speaker 20 tofu.

Speaker 15 I mean, honestly, I've got

Speaker 106 kids that are vegetarians.

Speaker 10 I don't understand it, but it makes everything, well, not the tofu, but it makes everything taste good.

Speaker 167 It's RekTech Grills.

Speaker 110 R-E-C-T-E-C-grills.com/slash back.

Speaker 42 Go there now.

Speaker 96 Register for your chance to win, the same grill that I use.

Speaker 140 And register to get their newsletter.

Speaker 119 Just go to their website and just check it out.

Speaker 38 Just do that and register to win.

Speaker 167 RekTechgrills with an S dot com slash Beck.

Speaker 61 So last night, I did something.

Speaker 118 And it ran about 90 minutes.

Speaker 6 And I'm surprised at the reaction.

Speaker 14 I'm really surprised at the reaction because I thought it would not be very popular to do.

Speaker 16 And what I did is I sat down with eight people that think very differently.

Speaker 52 I mean, diehard Trump, diehard anti-Trump, Dave Rubin, who was a liberal and is now

Speaker 94 a deep

Speaker 31 I want to say conservative.

Speaker 45 I know he would object to that, but I don't mean it in the way everybody else means it.

Speaker 10 He believes in conserving the things that are good in our country and fixing the things that are not good in our country.

Speaker 159 That's what a conservative really is.

Speaker 67 And

Speaker 77 I had about eight people,

Speaker 37 and we just had a conversation, and it was all based on what's happening.

Speaker 52 And I was shocked that people were responding,

Speaker 10 saying, this was fantastic.

Speaker 14 We need more of this.

Speaker 132 While I was doing it, I felt that way, but I thought, you know, do people even want to hear people's opinion anymore?

Speaker 37 Because that's the problem. Sometimes we don't.

Speaker 10 We don't have honest conversations anymore.

Speaker 131 And honest is the key here.

Speaker 66 Not somebody who's trying to win, but just have, just understand.

Speaker 188 I just want to understand what you're saying.

Speaker 139 But we can't do that anymore because if you talk about facts, you're a racist.

Speaker 96 If you don't prostrate yourself in front of the mob, you're a racist.

Speaker 96 But I think millions of Americans are saying right now, I'm not a racist.

Speaker 92 Because I'm not.

Speaker 141 Maybe I've done racist things in the past, but I wasn't aware of it.

Speaker 96 It was a mistake.

Speaker 123 If I did it, I didn't know.

Speaker 179 But I try really hard to be open to everybody.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 45 I don't know anybody who's really truly racist.

Speaker 145 And if I ever do hear those people, I immediately correct them and distance myself from them.

Speaker 120 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

Speaker 145 I find myself doing here and there, I guess, but I don't think it's fair.

Speaker 37 I'm not posting the black box, but that just means I'm sick of the mob.

Speaker 43 I'm not kneeling down to anybody.

Speaker 66 Sorry to say it, but the man that was buried today was not a martyr.

Speaker 155 He was a criminal.

Speaker 96 But like every other criminal, he should have been arrested respectfully and tried.

Speaker 6 But he was a criminal that was arrested and now celebrated.

Speaker 147 He shouldn't be celebrated.

Speaker 66 We should be condemning the act of what happened after he was arrested.

Speaker 74 I'm not happy with the police.

Speaker 43 I'm no mouthpiece for the police.

Speaker 107 I, quite honestly, have been worried for many years about the militarization of the police and police brutality.

Speaker 141 It seems to be getting worse with all races.

Speaker 144 And I don't think they're making matters any better for themselves.

Speaker 116 During the coronavirus, the police really bothered me.

Speaker 102 Do I need to complain more?

Speaker 37 Yeah, I guess I do.

Speaker 74 I mean, I think I'm being reasonable.

Speaker 144 You know, when you look at things, there are lots of things that

Speaker 14 are unacceptable.

Speaker 113 Let me show you a couple of video clips that I think were unacceptable.

Speaker 33 The Buffalo PD and the attempt to murder an old man.

Speaker 91 Do you have these clips for me, Sarah?

Speaker 4 Here it is.

Speaker 4 This is absolutely unacceptable.

Speaker 4 He's clean out of his ears.

Speaker 88 This is a guy

Speaker 128 protesting COVID.

Speaker 4 All right.

Speaker 61 Let's go to the next clip.

Speaker 37 Absolutely unacceptable.

Speaker 101 Here's the next clip.

Speaker 34 Same thing.

Speaker 34 Got it. We got that on camera.

Speaker 34 Got it.

Speaker 6 Police brutality again.

Speaker 91 Just arresting somebody just for marching.

Speaker 68 Or how about this one?

Speaker 29 Police officer in Virginia spits

Speaker 173 on a protester, COVID, during the crisis.

Speaker 101 That's not right.

Speaker 5 How about the guy who had, he's Hispanic and he had his door broken into?

Speaker 46 Play this one.

Speaker 199 I need to know why you busted my door in, where the warrant is.

Speaker 199 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.

Speaker 199 I just had four cops with AR-15s at my front door and busted it down because somebody called them, said a Hispanic male

Speaker 199 had an AK-47 or whatever.

Speaker 199 And that's all the information you need to bust my door down?

Speaker 199 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.

Speaker 199 You have no right. I don't care who caused you.

Speaker 199 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.

Speaker 199 So this guy is an automatic, an automatic fire owner.

Speaker 4 This guy is ranting and raving, but he's right

Speaker 185 because the cops broke his door down because they said they had a very vivid description.

Speaker 122 When asked what the vivid description was, a Hispanic normal...

Speaker 35 Listen to him here.

Speaker 6 Under normal circumstances, a warrant is not needed.

Speaker 66 Extenuating circumstances.

Speaker 4 Full description.

Speaker 199 All you guys had was a Hispanic male. You had no clothes on.

Speaker 4 This is wrong.

Speaker 163 All of this stuff is wrong.

Speaker 30 All of it is wrong.

Speaker 19 I'm very much in favor of the police being respectful of all of the public at all times, even in tough times.

Speaker 96 And I support them when they are.

Speaker 173 I'm in favor of firing every bad cop we can find.

Speaker 66 Constitutional Americans, you know what?

Speaker 36 We've been far too timid.

Speaker 107 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.

Speaker 141 to frame innocent people in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 168 But we're just too docile.

Speaker 155 We don't do anything.

Speaker 79 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.

Speaker 46 I agree with the African American.

Speaker 31 This system is corrupt and it needs to be cleaned.

Speaker 140 That said, when we're talking about police officers, that is an insanely tough job.

Speaker 118 I don't know how they do it.

Speaker 116 I don't want to ever do it.

Speaker 141 Somebody has to, but they're facing being maimed or being killed.

Speaker 128 And those good cops should be supported a thousand percent and deserve our respect and be held up as the heroes that they are.

Speaker 41 They do things that you wouldn't want to do and I wouldn't want to do.

Speaker 116 The bad cops should be terminated.

Speaker 45 But there's something else that needs to be said.

Speaker 5 When you look at the stats,

Speaker 10 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.

Speaker 49 Now, there's one glaring factor that would bring the number of police interactions that they have to suffer through way down.

Speaker 123 This would be a good safety tip for all races, not just the blacks.

Speaker 186 Stop committing crimes.

Speaker 142 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.

Speaker 92 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.

Speaker 156 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.

Speaker 182 That's got to stop.

Speaker 45 But here's what we really have to say to one another.

Speaker 126 There are good black people and there are good white people.

Speaker 119 There are bad black people and there are bad white people.

Speaker 159 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?

Speaker 132 Why is it okay to lump all of the bad cops in with all the good cops?

Speaker 139 It's almost like it's okay to stereotype cops or white people, but anything else is literally hate speech.

Speaker 123 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.

Speaker 14 I'm going to have all kinds of problems with it.

Speaker 162 I don't care.

Speaker 149 I'm done with that.

Speaker 96 You know, Biden said that 10 to 15% of Americans are just not good people.

Speaker 45 Blacks are 12% of the population.

Speaker 44 Do you think he was talking about them?

Speaker 7 12?

Speaker 78 I'm sorry, 10 to 15% of Americans are just not good people.

Speaker 146 So who's he talking about?

Speaker 96 Which Americans are not good people?

Speaker 138 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.

Speaker 141 10 to 15%?

Speaker 85 Whoa, that's kind of a coincidence, isn't it?

Speaker 158 Blacks are 12% of the population.

Speaker 108 And you know it's true.

Speaker 88 But instead, reasonable people give Biden the doubt.

Speaker 96 But let me ask you this.

Speaker 112 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?

Speaker 170 You're going to round them up?

Speaker 173 You're going to ban them from the internet? You're going to kill them?

Speaker 162 What are you going to do?

Speaker 139 People have a right to be jerks.

Speaker 127 People have a right to be flat-out racists.

Speaker 83 I don't like it.

Speaker 139 I don't want them around me, but they have a right to do that.

Speaker 100 Let me give you an example.

Speaker 92 This is from a Twitter feed from John Boyga.

Speaker 93 I really effing hate racists.

Speaker 14 Dexie Dale, nobody loves racists.

Speaker 46 I'm from Nigeria.

Speaker 135 My ex said she hates whites, so I broke up with her.

Speaker 31 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.

Speaker 91 Why is that on Twitter?

Speaker 43 Why can I find that on Twitter?

Speaker 116 That's racist.

Speaker 41 But it's fine with everybody on the left.

Speaker 106 How is this acceptable?

Speaker 154 This is not about all men are created equal.

Speaker 182 It's not.

Speaker 113 This is not about justice, fair and equal, justice for all.

Speaker 140 This is,

Speaker 94 if I may, a dog whistle.

Speaker 133 He's saying he hates a segment of white people.

Speaker 85 And that's allowable because of world history.

Speaker 4 Mark my words, the world will weep, will weep

Speaker 103 when they see when the

Speaker 46 European societies that have been built over the centuries, ugly as they have been in the past and even ugly as they are now,

Speaker 4 when they are removed from the face of the earth, the world will weep

Speaker 69 and finally recognize what they actually had.

Speaker 107 More in just a second.

Speaker 193 Let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour, Simply Safe.

Speaker 66 It is designed to be

Speaker 71 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.

Speaker 15 These are trying times,

Speaker 171 and God only knows what is coming next.

Speaker 37 You need a security system, and one that if it goes off,

Speaker 12 they can actually verify that something is going on.

Speaker 46 They can visually verify it that something is going going on.

Speaker 74 They tell that to the 911 dispatch, and your

Speaker 46 emergency goes from the bottom of the list, an alarm going off, to an actual break-in.

Speaker 10 So it goes from 42 minutes on average to seven minutes on average of the police arrival.

Speaker 46 That is the system that I want for my house and my family.

Speaker 185 That system is SimplySafe.

Speaker 122 Go to simply safebeck.com.

Speaker 131 Get a free HD security camera.

Speaker 66 It's simply safebeck.com. Make sure you let them know who sent you.

Speaker 91 Get that HD security camera, and 50 cents a day will have you covered.

Speaker 129 It's simply safebeck.com.

Speaker 22 10 seconds station ID.

Speaker 169 You know, when you read Twitter, you'll see media celebrating racists,

Speaker 42 you know, and whatever.

Speaker 38 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.

Speaker 66 But why do we have different standards for different races?

Speaker 66 Isn't that itself racist?

Speaker 96 I don't understand people that use the N-word.

Speaker 144 I'm offended by it.

Speaker 79 I don't like it.

Speaker 66 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.

Speaker 145 That's nonsense.

Speaker 37 That's absolute nonsense. The word is either bad or it's not.

Speaker 68 Okay, it's I can't go into

Speaker 5 a broadcast and use the F-word because I'm a certain color or I have a different ideology.

Speaker 61 No, it's society says no, you can't use that on broadcast.

Speaker 31 So none of us do.

Speaker 121 None of us do.

Speaker 62 It's either good or it's bad.

Speaker 122 Twitter is more racist than

Speaker 41 any group or person person that I know.

Speaker 37 Because all racism matters.

Speaker 79 Meanwhile, a crowd of black people chased a kid down and beat him for allegedly wearing a Trump hat.

Speaker 116 Is he dumb for going there?

Speaker 10 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 132 Is he racist?

Speaker 146 I don't know.

Speaker 27 But even if he was, did he deserve to be beaten by a mob while police watch from their cars while doing nothing?

Speaker 64 I mean, we have literally over a thousand examples of Trump supporters being violently attacked by the left.

Speaker 66 Is Apple going to tweet their allyship to us?

Speaker 107 Where's the big corporate campaign with every country or every company in the country?

Speaker 64 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.

Speaker 42 By the way, the most racist person I've ever met in my whole life didn't hate all black people.

Speaker 119 They hated all white people.

Speaker 191 They hated people like me.

Speaker 11 They hate Donald Trump.

Speaker 89 They hate anyone who votes for him.

Speaker 130 They hate the police.

Speaker 66 They hate everything that is different than them.

Speaker 15 And that's not my opinion. That's the data.

Speaker 103 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.

Speaker 4 Blacks,

Speaker 73 15%.

Speaker 68 Positive, 12.83 for Hispanics, the mean 13%.

Speaker 173 You're minus 13 with white liberals.

Speaker 6 Non-liberal whites?

Speaker 31 It's the exact opposite.

Speaker 147 Why is that?

Speaker 152 Why is that?

Speaker 147 Why do we hate ourselves?

Speaker 200 It's the preaching and the woke lecturing that's happening in this country that should be against hate.

Speaker 131 But that will never fly because hate is the fuel that progressives run on.

Speaker 144 And without that, they wouldn't be anything.

Speaker 106 Let's talk about white privilege for a second.

Speaker 113 If you think white people are racist against black people,

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 53 Petersburg.

Speaker 37 That's a good friend of mine.

Speaker 147 He's had his

Speaker 155 butt beaten by black kids so many times for absolutely no reason, he can't even count them.

Speaker 179 Where's his ally? Where's his ally?

Speaker 45 What is he apologizing for?

Speaker 15 He doesn't need one.

Speaker 126 He doesn't need one.

Speaker 107 And neither do you.

Speaker 46 You have your own voice. You have your own story.

Speaker 156 And all stories, oh, they're all true, aren't they?

Speaker 60 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 193 All right, Hara, our sponsor this half hour is Car Shield.

Speaker 191 I want to talk to you a little bit about

Speaker 10 the insanity of not thinking that your car is going to break down, especially if you're out of warranty.

Speaker 171 That's when they always break down.

Speaker 38 Think of it this way.

Speaker 37 I want you to stop by the ATM on your way home and just grab $1,000.

Speaker 15 And then I want you to take that $1,000, assuming you could get $1,000 out of your bank account.

Speaker 42 And I just want you to take it over the sink and then just push it down slowly into the garbage disposal.

Speaker 112 Just flip that baby on.

Speaker 138 Okay. Sounds like a bad idea?

Speaker 193 Well, that's what's happening.

Speaker 50 First of all, most Americans can't get $1,000 from the bank account.

Speaker 188 They They don't have $1,000 in.

Speaker 74 When that car goes down, it's going to cost you about $1,000.

Speaker 18 Where do you have that money?

Speaker 70 You don't.

Speaker 187 Get CarShield.

Speaker 96 They'll get you covered.

Speaker 27 They'll have a rental car for free while yours is in the shop.

Speaker 65 They have

Speaker 66 free towing and roadside assistance for you.

Speaker 96 And different plans that you design that start at $99 a month.

Speaker 179 You've got to have coverage now.

Speaker 48 When your car breaks down, it's carshield.com, codebeck.

Speaker 28 At Gray Unleashed right before this show, every day, 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern, or anywhere you get your podcast, any time of the day or night.

Speaker 152 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 45 I'm glad that you are here today.

Speaker 166 Thank you so much.

Speaker 36 We have got to come together. We have got to find a way around this, but we also have to stand our ground and

Speaker 18 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.

Speaker 24 And I think we can all come together on that.

Speaker 10 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

Speaker 74 and has caused a lot of damage.

Speaker 46 And I don't care what the mainstream media

Speaker 106 Yes, protests can be violent, but not effective protests are violent.

Speaker 13 And

Speaker 15 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.

Speaker 171 I mean about

Speaker 176 there's a lot of white faces I see in burning cars and looting and everything else.

Speaker 106 This is a problem with our society.

Speaker 25 And I think our mayors, our governors, in some cases are aiding and abetting.

Speaker 45 And the destruction to many businesses that were struggling already because of COVID

Speaker 23 now are struggling even more.

Speaker 66 Some of them that were just on the edge are going out of business because they can't make it.

Speaker 119 So, what do we do?

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 27 is anybody else bothered by

Speaker 79 the notion that

Speaker 154 you don't have to social distance if you're protesting for the right thing?

Speaker 87 I don't understand it.

Speaker 73 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,

Speaker 188 I believe the article said, automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons, ARs.

Speaker 166 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.

Speaker 15 And Joe Green is on with us now.

Speaker 12 Hi, Joe.

Speaker 192 Hi, how are you doing?

Speaker 18 I'm good.

Speaker 144 So tell me what happened Sunday night.

Speaker 22 How did this unfold?

Speaker 192 Well, you know, we thought it was going to be a peaceful protest, but we've had a few others

Speaker 192 a protest here nearby in California, and they turned bad. A lot of looting and a lot of vandalism.
So

Speaker 192 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.

Speaker 192 At that time, I knew that, you know, our police department couldn't

Speaker 192 handle it. Yeah, it was overwhelmed.

Speaker 190 So

Speaker 192 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

Speaker 192 that's when

Speaker 192 I started preparing myself.

Speaker 192 I closed up the store, I got my wife out of here, and

Speaker 192 started calling a few friends to see what was going on. And

Speaker 192 it started really early. I mean, this is like 3.30, 4 o'clock.

Speaker 190 I mean, it's broad daylight.

Speaker 192 So

Speaker 192 it got scary. I mean, well, I'm all for protesting, and I'm all for Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 192 You know,

Speaker 192 something needs to be done about that. But looting and vandalizing and destroying somebody's livelihood, not acceptable.

Speaker 26 So, Joe,

Speaker 195 did you have ARs that you were protecting the store with?

Speaker 192 Yes.

Speaker 192 You know, a few of my neighbors,

Speaker 192 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

Speaker 192 wasn't going to come in here and take this door without a fight. You know, it's just...

Speaker 144 I mean, it's...

Speaker 68 Doesn't that make you

Speaker 164 almost a pariah in California?

Speaker 192 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.

Speaker 190 Well, insurance doesn't cover that.

Speaker 192 You know, insurance doesn't cover inventory loss.

Speaker 192 You know, it's a.

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 108 And by the time you got there, people were starting to smash more and try to get in and grab things.

Speaker 107 But you didn't go home.

Speaker 36 The authorities didn't actually arrive until the National Guard arrived at, what, about four o'clock in the morning?

Speaker 192 Four o'clock the next morning, yes. So it was a long night.

Speaker 29 That it was.

Speaker 192 I mean, like I said, I've never seen anything like it. I don't want to ever relive Sunday.
I mean, that's

Speaker 190 it.

Speaker 192 It got really dicey, and I have friends out here and customers that were standing with me.

Speaker 192 I would never be able to live with myself if anything happened to any one of them.

Speaker 134 So

Speaker 192 it turned out how it did.

Speaker 15 I want to get to the ending of this story here in a second, but

Speaker 145 I want to ask you, how do Californians and business people

Speaker 134 react

Speaker 92 when you've been told by the governor and specifically the mayor of Los Angeles has been, I think, one of the worst.

Speaker 13 It said, we're not fully going to be reopened until there's a cure for coronavirus.

Speaker 46 They've been arresting people that have been surfing on the beaches.

Speaker 155 They've kept stores closed, all because of coronavirus.

Speaker 10 And now they're saying that it's okay.

Speaker 96 And in fact, the mayor of Los Angeles is marching down the street with the protesters at times without a mask.

Speaker 133 Does this make sense to you?

Speaker 93 How do you process that?

Speaker 192 It's like a double standard. You know, it's just like,

Speaker 192 you know, you tell the stores that are open that you have to have social distancing and you have to wear a mask,

Speaker 192 but you can gather and these humongous...

Speaker 192 I mean, I couldn't,

Speaker 192 5,000 people down there on Sunday.

Speaker 192 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,

Speaker 192 you know, the mayor, and it's the, it's just put a lot of businesses

Speaker 192 in dire straits. I mean, they're, they're struggling to make it.

Speaker 46 So what do people in California that you know, Joe, say of this?

Speaker 37 Because I think there's a lot of people around the country that say, wait a minute,

Speaker 36 I do believe the coronavirus was real, but did they just take advantage of this?

Speaker 71 Did they believe any of this?

Speaker 71 Why are doctors now coming out and saying that

Speaker 74 racism is a plague on humanity?

Speaker 96 And so, if you're going to protest racism, that's more important than the coronavirus.

Speaker 125 How are doctors saying these things when

Speaker 19 so many people have lost their jobs or lost their businesses how do you reconcile this in California with your leadership

Speaker 192 that's one of the

Speaker 192 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

Speaker 192 you know so we're ready for it to open up. We're ready for business to get back to normal.

Speaker 190 And

Speaker 192 it's been tough. And then, like I said,

Speaker 192 with all this on top of it, and then you use the coronavirus,

Speaker 192 but it's okay to protest. And

Speaker 192 it just, I know a lot of people that are ready for all this to end and just get back to some normality here.

Speaker 15 Let me just take you to the ending of the story.

Speaker 152 The next day, you saw a guy with a broom.

Speaker 25 Tell me what happened.

Speaker 192 The next day, the sun was coming up.

Speaker 192 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.

Speaker 192 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.

Speaker 192 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,

Speaker 192 everything was gone. Glass was cleaned up, windows were boarded.
I mean, it was a community coming together. It was nice.

Speaker 21 Joe, thanks for ending it there.

Speaker 90 God bless you. Thank you.

Speaker 74 And best to

Speaker 50 you and your customers at Broadway Wine and Spirits in Santa Monica.

Speaker 17 I have to tell you, I think one of the biggest things that people are going to have to deal with soon is

Speaker 105 how do you make sense of these two things?

Speaker 37 They still can't open up. They still can't open up because of coronavirus, but how do you make sense of this?

Speaker 45 And how do you make sense in 21 days if you don't see a lot of people getting sick?

Speaker 29 All right.

Speaker 22 Our sponsor is American Financing.

Speaker 37 You need to cut all unnecessary expenditures.

Speaker 111 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?

Speaker 93 Unnecessary.

Speaker 14 Because when you made that deal, even if you made it at the first of this year,

Speaker 18 interest rates were a lot higher than they are right now.

Speaker 86 And

Speaker 90 every sliver of a percentage point that you can get on your mortgage ends up to be a lot of money.

Speaker 62 So if your mortgage is now over 4% or at 4%,

Speaker 132 AmericanFinancing.net may be able to save you hundreds, if not over thousands of dollars every single month.

Speaker 45 What would that do to your financial picture?

Speaker 10 Please take 10 minutes out of your day and call AmericanFinancing.net.

Speaker 51 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

Speaker 10 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

Speaker 114 American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4. www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Speaker 56 This is the Glimbeck program.

Speaker 48 Oh, some really good news from The Hill.

Speaker 42 They've done some investigative reporting, Pat, and I think you and everybody else needs to go into the weekend with this good news.

Speaker 46 The Hill is now reporting it's likely that it is Antifa,

Speaker 10 not white supremacist neo-Nazis behind the anarchy in America streets.

Speaker 101 Oh, no. Really?

Speaker 120 It's likely that?

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 64 It's likely.

Speaker 12 It's likely.

Speaker 28 A stunning surprise.

Speaker 96 Now, by the way, if it is white supremacists or neo-Nazis, they're the same people.

Speaker 14 They want anarchy.

Speaker 38 They want a destruction to the United States of America.

Speaker 35 They want socialism.

Speaker 37 They don't agree with the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 126 They don't agree with the Constitution of America.

Speaker 80 So, same thing.

Speaker 46 Same thing. But

Speaker 195 it's most likely.

Speaker 101 I shouldn't say most likely.

Speaker 82 It is likely now, according to the Hill, to be antifa.

Speaker 34 So got that going for it. Surprise.

Speaker 77 Can I ask you,

Speaker 110 you follow sports?

Speaker 93 I do.

Speaker 15 I obviously, if you were listening yesterday, I don't.

Speaker 52 But Drew Brees,

Speaker 6 when last I left this story, he apologized yesterday in a lengthy tweet.

Speaker 28 Very.

Speaker 28 Yes. But apparently that wasn't quite enough.
And now...

Speaker 28 In a video, he has apologized further because there was so much more to say.

Speaker 183 And here's what he said.

Speaker 183 So much to say.

Speaker 201 I know there's not much that I can say that would make things any better right now.

Speaker 4 But I'm going to say it anymore.

Speaker 201 You should see in my eyes how sorry I am. I do see your eyes.
The comments that I made yesterday.

Speaker 201 I know that it hurt many people, especially

Speaker 201 friends, teammates,

Speaker 201 former teammates,

Speaker 201 loved ones.

Speaker 183 People that I have.

Speaker 4 We have a soap opera organ by people.

Speaker 4 Sarah?

Speaker 201 That was never my intention.

Speaker 187 Never.

Speaker 201 I wish I would have laid out what was on my heart. What?

Speaker 201 The George Floyd murder, Ahmaud Arbery,

Speaker 201 the years and years of social injustice, police brutality,

Speaker 201 and the need for so much reform and change. Yeah,

Speaker 4 now you realize

Speaker 28 the country sucks. I said a couple of days ago that I love this country and that it's disrespectful

Speaker 18 to disrespect the country.

Speaker 172 But now I realize it sucks.

Speaker 96 So why is he doing this?

Speaker 91 Because

Speaker 121 I'm sure. But the owner of St.

Speaker 141 Louis, I mean, he's pretty conservative, isn't he?

Speaker 39 I mean, he's not going to get...

Speaker 17 Yeah, New Orleans. Yeah.

Speaker 29 New Orleans. No, he was not.

Speaker 92 He's not going to get fired.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 28 It had to surprise him and scare him because he's not used to that.

Speaker 184 You know, we are because we get it all the time.

Speaker 28 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

Speaker 28 social media apology and then the video.

Speaker 28 I predict he's going to kneel with his teammates when the season rolls around.

Speaker 25 Well, now, wait a minute. Hang on, Dutch.

Speaker 39 I think that he, I think before he kneels at the open of the season, something has to happen sooner than that.

Speaker 45 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.

Speaker 29 Well, you're right.

Speaker 28 Yeah, because the season's not coming soon enough. It needs to be.

Speaker 37 No, it's got to be.

Speaker 132 He's got to make a statement.

Speaker 96 It's got to be bold.

Speaker 76 Maybe he can,

Speaker 86 I don't know.

Speaker 12 Maybe he can take an old blow-up Bozo doll

Speaker 72 and just beat the president to death with it if he could get in the same room with him.

Speaker 134 Just takes that blow-up Bozo doll and just beats him over and over again in the head.

Speaker 139 But it's got to be on social media.

Speaker 129 It's got to be live on Instagram or Facebook or something like that.

Speaker 28 What if he does a Facebook live spray painting of the Lincoln Memorial? Would that be enough?

Speaker 28 If he spray paints Black Lives Matter

Speaker 28 on Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 112 He cannot, if he's doing that in black spray paint, that's fine, but he cannot spray the entire statue black.

Speaker 6 We leave the face white.

Speaker 86 You cannot make it white, Drew.

Speaker 102 Or you can't make it black.

Speaker 4 Don't use spray paint.

Speaker 34 Oh, no, then it's one black black face.

Speaker 18 That would be horrible.

Speaker 179 Yeah, then it would be very, very bad.

Speaker 101 Very bad.

Speaker 36 And you would never be able to keep your late-night show with NBC.

Speaker 171 Oh, wait, no, that's somebody else.

Speaker 115 But anyway,

Speaker 69 this, you know,

Speaker 61 it's,

Speaker 147 I was going to say sad, but it's actually a little disappointing.

Speaker 17 Very.

Speaker 200 To see somebody come out and say what he did.

Speaker 89 Look, I'm never going to disrespect the flag and what it stands for.

Speaker 148 And I don't agree with people who do that.

Speaker 101 There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 4 There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 20 How is that hurtful?

Speaker 85 How was that hurtful?

Speaker 126 We've got to stop being bullied.

Speaker 86 This is authoritarian.

Speaker 132 And if we don't stand up now and start saying, no, I'm not going to play that game anymore.

Speaker 107 I will say what I mean and I mean what I say.

Speaker 132 And

Speaker 36 I'm not going to play your little game anymore.

Speaker 138 I'm not going to.

Speaker 116 Black Lives Matter is not a good group.

Speaker 123 Read their website.

Speaker 126 Look at what they actually believe and are advocating.

Speaker 169 You don't agree with that, so don't say you're with Black Lives Matter unless you've read that.
