'Choose Life'? - 8/07/16

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Glen back.

All I can think of is breathe deep the gathering gloom.

Angry white mob.

An angry white mob.

Surrounded and attacked an African-American woman yesterday.

Now, this isn't a headline from the 1960s, and this isn't a headline from CNN.

In fact, I can't find this news on CNN.

Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens having breakfast in Philadelphia when a group of 20 to 30 people began harassing them with bullhorns and throwing liquid at them.

Hey, James Acosta, has that happened to you?

It's happened to me and my family.

If there is a museum of the absurd, this attack shouldn't be one of the main exhibits.

They were actually screaming into bullhorns directly at Candace Owens, an African-American woman, saying F white supremacy.

These are white people

shouting through a bullhorn at a black woman saying F

white superiority.

so now what exactly do these radical leftists have a problem with here

is it that Candace is a woman or that she's black or maybe that she had the gall to eat in one of their restaurants and she did it with a white man

since when did the far left become supporters of Jim Crow

I would love for one spokesperson, one,

anyone from Antifa

call and defend this.

Call.

I will give you the platform.

I want to hear your defense.

I would love clarification.

Now, the optics here don't look real great.

Hmm.

But we don't really care about optics, do we, Antifa?

Because no one's reporting on you.

There's one thing that's true for the far right and the radical left.

They have them in common.

They are both equally racist.

Oh, and by the way, they're also both, both are against the Bill of Rights.

If you're an Antifa, maybe somebody like Sarah Jong or some social justice warrior screaming about white America, if that's something that you embrace, maybe you should also embrace the conclusion that may be painful to you, that you are a racist and a fascist yourself.

You are everything you claim to despise.

You are blaming all of your grievances and problems on a race of people.

How does that make you any different than the Klan?

Oh, I know, that's right, because the Klan would go out and intimidate people.

No?

Another thing you have in common with the Klan.

I don't care if you're in the minority or the majority.

If you judge people by their race and not the content of their character, then you are by definition a racist.

Now, I know critical thinking is not taught anymore, and I know that what is taught is that all critical and scientific thinking is from the modern age and we are now post-modern.

But I'm sorry, I'm going to be a stick in the mud.

Until they deplatform me,

I will say it and say it again.

Can no one see

how they've turned into everything they despise?

Can no one see the similarities between their own movement and the people they claim to be fighting?

And I mean that on both sides.

If you do a rundown of what the far right and the far left have in common,

they really should get along.

Really, you should.

I know, I know, the difference is fascism and communism, but you've got so much in common.

You're both equally racist.

You both hate the Bill of Rights.

You both hate America.

You both want to kill free speech.

You both believe in collectivism.

You both believe in socialism.

You both believe in a strong central government and socialized everything everything else.

I mean, you are a matchmade, I would say, in heaven, but I don't think so.

Jim Acosta

and CNN

have felt threatened by the crowd at a Trump rally recently.

I get it.

I've been there, CNN.

They say it was all President Trump's fault.

Well, then, who's to blame when it was happening to me?

And by the way, it still does.

I wonder, Jim and CNN, if you're going to have a comment.

You haven't yet.

It's been 24 hours, but I'm waiting for a comment on what happened to Charlie and Candace.

Or how about Antifa trying to destroy the recruiting center of the Marine Corps?

Yeah, you didn't cover that one either.

They threw explosives at a Berkeley police station on Sunday.

Didn't see that.

The masked antiphon member smashing the windows of the Marine Corps recruiting office, that happened on Sunday, along with a bomb throwing.

Didn't see that.

Go ahead, go to CNN.com right now.

They've got a platform.

They'll tell you the truth.

They'll tell you the difference between apples and oranges and bananas and grapes.

I'll save you the trouble.

Neither story is there.

They don't report on on that.

And yet they wonder why people are pissed off.

You wonder why groups like the Patriot Prayer are springing up to go fight these guys.

News flash to the media.

If you want to make things worse, just keep doing what you are doing.

Ignoring half of the country and belittling them.

Continue not to listen to the worries and the fears because that's what you did in the last eight years.

You mocked and ridiculed and never had an honest conversation with anyone on the right.

And by the way, I define an honest conversation as asking questions whose answers could influence the way you view the world.

If a few people giving you the finger and chanting CNN sucks, get you scared,

imagine how terrified an African-American woman was

just this weekend as she was surrounded by a mob of frothing white people

yeah

one of those things is a little more frightening

It's Tuesday, August 7th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I don't want to do my job anymore.

I really don't.

I don't want to do my job anymore, and yet there's no place that I would rather be.

I cannot remain silent.

I cannot remain silent.

And I just, I don't, I just, I, I know what's coming.

I can see what's coming.

We all can.

I've warned about it.

It's here.

It's here.

It is here.

This is the time that I said there's going to come a time when people will be going in all directions.

They won't know what to do.

They're going to be trying to follow the wrong people.

And you have to be strong enough and know what your principles are to say, don't, don't, don't go there.

The rage and the anger that we spoke about is here.

And it's only going to get worse.

And the press is only going to make it worse because they refuse

to listen.

Such wasted breath.

Mainstreamed media, why do we have Donald Trump?

You've been asking, how could this happen?

So, have you come up with an answer yet?

I know your original answer, and I think it's still your answer, but I'd be open to hearing another answer from you.

I know your answer was, well, America is racist, America is bigoted, America is whatever.

That's not the answer.

That's not why we have Donald Trump.

It's not.

The reason why we have Donald Trump,

and the reason why people say, well, he just says it like it is, even though he doesn't, even though he doesn't,

the reason why people feel that way is because they know who you are.

are

it wasn't long after 9-11

where the sides started to split and first we were told the Patriot Act was so patriot so patriotic you are a patriot if you you're not a patriot if you don't well it wasn't pat

wasn't a patriot act it wasn't

it was an un-American act

And then

good people had differences on the war.

But

you really

you really did a number

by embracing people like Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan.

Cindy Sheehan, who is a despicable, despicable messenger.

And I understand you lose your son and, you know, we have to give you a wide berth.

I get that.

I get that.

I really do.

But at some point, common decency also has to be respected.

You embraced.

You embraced Alex Jones.

He's the father of the 9-11 conspiracy theory.

You embraced him.

Donald Trump, I mean, George Bush, he knew, he knew, he knew.

Now,

let's stop here for a second.

Why,

why do we do we have Donald Trump today?

One reason.

When Sandy Berger went in and

took papers from the National Archives that related to both Bush and Clinton,

It was barely a blip on the radar.

If I went into the National Archives and I stole and destroyed documents, I don't think I'd ever see the light of day.

Double standard.

People with power.

Sandy Berger

was not a pariah.

Why?

Friend of the Clintons, friend of the Bushes.

So, does that help the 9-11 conspiracy theory?

No.

Nope.

Makes it worse.

Makes it worse.

I do not believe that George Bush had any idea.

Nobody had any idea that they were going to fly planes into the building and nobody blew them up.

Alex Jones was wrong.

And the Democrats that embraced Alex Jones were wrong.

And then we had Katrina.

And people like Van Jones.

and the color of, what is it, the color of people or the color of change.

Those people,

those organizations

that said and endorsed

the viewpoint of George Bush just hates black people.

And you let it slide.

Kanye did not have a problem saying that.

Not anywhere.

Not anywhere like what he said when he said,

why can I not

respect the president of the United States if he's Donald Trump, even if I don't agree with him?

You wanted him crucified for that.

But

George Bush hates black people was fine.

Everything was corrupt under George Bush.

All of the war, the war dead, every day we saw the countdown of how many people died.

And then a new president was elected who said he was going to stop the war.

He expanded the war.

And you never told us a body count for eight years.

Why do we have Donald Trump?

Why do we have Donald Trump?

In that eight-year period, you called half of America racist.

You didn't even take the time to listen.

You didn't have an open up enough mind to say, wait a minute, I don't think 50% of America is a despicable group of garbage people.

You didn't give us that respect.

You instead called us racist.

You instead said, we are plotting against this government.

We love the government.

We love the Constitution of the United States of America.

We do not like the government and the way it is enacting those things because it is corrupt, and you know it is.

You can't tell me,

why did you turn so hard on your beloved Queen Clinton?

Why?

Why?

Because you know she's corrupt.

You know it just as much as we know it, but you ignored it.

Why do we have Donald Trump?

Because you have isolated 50% of this nation.

You have lied to us.

You have told us you're better than us.

You have told us that you're smarter than us.

Some of us still believe in the idea

that man can rule himself, that I don't need

a day sitter.

I don't need somebody to tell me what to do, what to eat, where to go, who to hire, who to fire.

Some of us still believe in those individual rights.

You don't.

You think you know what's better.

And yesterday, your claims

on MSNBC, where you're all sitting around as a group of journalists saying, we need another word for socialism.

is evidence of that.

You think we're so stupid that if you just change the name of socialism to happy free stuff for everybody, we'll just go along with it.

And you know what?

Because you've controlled the education system in this country for so long and you've destroyed it from the core, you just might be right.

You cannot go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

I know how you feel.

I know how you feel.

I have a lot to talk to you about today.

And some of it's going to be uncomfortable.

But none of it can lead to anger and outrage.

We have to find a way away from that.

Because it is going to tear us apart.

We are at the point of choosing.

Will we live or will we die as a nation?

Will we live or will we die as a Western culture?

I hate to say this because it's so very controversial, but

choose life.

BeckcryptoShow.com.

That's tomorrow night, BeckCryptoShow.com.

I tell you,

freedom of speech and the Bill of Rights only mean something when you stand for things you do not want to stand for.

My record on Alex Jones is very clear.

I think he is destructive.

I think he is poison.

I think he is dangerous.

I think there is a chance he's deeply unsettled as a human being.

But I want to talk to you about freedom of speech.

Just private companies.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

I know.

I know.

But we have to have an adult conversation about

digital ghettoization.

That's just another stupid.

Digital ghettoization.

It's a term that every American should learn quickly.

More in a minute.

So in the 1930s,

the Nazis began to search the world over for

laws and ways that they could eventually do the final solution.

They were all insane.

And yet they were perfectly rational.

They went and they looked at all of the laws.

And a lot of the laws that led to the Nuremberg laws in Germany came from the United States, and the way Jim Crow laws were enacted here, and how we could separate people from race, by race, and

what made an African-American an African-American.

One drop of blood was the rule here.

One drop of blood.

The Nazis thought that went too far.

They thought that was too extreme.

And so they came up with their own laws and ways you could decide if someone was Jewish or if they were German and Aryan.

And then they just said things like, you know, you can't use a radio.

You can't use a car.

And they just started nibbling around the edges.

You shouldn't have a voice in teaching.

We don't need any of that Jewish nonsense around here.

And they took it.

And people people just

got further and further away from the main square.

Then everybody had to live in a certain section, the Jewish ghetto.

And then Germans just walled them in.

We're going to move you here.

Hey, they're free.

They're still free.

They just live behind that wall.

But they're totally free.

What?

What?

You know what?

You're right.

You're right.

The ghetto is a bad thing.

We're going to throw them on a train and we're going to send them to some paradise.

It's going to be great.

We don't, I don't have the thing against the Jews, although we would like to see all of them dead.

We're just going to give give them their own little special place to live.

And everybody was fine because, you know, it's the Jews.

You don't have to wall people up anymore.

You can have the digital media do that.

See, why do we have Donald Trump?

We have Donald Trump because people said the media is lying to us.

They are covering for the corruption.

There's a double standard.

and they're stepping on anyone's throat who disagrees with them.

They do it in the universities and they're doing it in the media.

I have nothing against them.

I just think that there's another way to do it.

So there was a double standard.

It was the lack of consistency.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

You're going to put a guy who took a picture for his children of the inside of a submarine.

You're going to put him in prison, but Hillary Clinton is good?

That's all good to go?

No.

Why do we have Donald Trump?

Because you were inconsistent.

Now, the new media comes in.

And the new media says, you don't have to do that.

You don't have to play those games.

You're in charge.

All you have to do is tell us who you like, who you want to follow, who you want to listen to.

And the algorithm will make it sure that they come to the top of your feed.

Until that new media got so big and so powerful that they decided now that they had to be the arbiter of truth.

Because the mainstream media was no longer credible.

We are not getting our news from mainstream media anymore.

We're getting it online.

We're getting it from Twitter or or Facebook.

So now they have a responsibility.

And so even though they told us we were in charge, their algorithm shadow blocks people.

So in other words, if you signed up and said, I want to get everything from Glenn Beck, you're not getting everything from Glenn Beck.

Their algorithm is sorting through.

You don't mean you really want Glenn Beck.

Well, there's some other things you probably like better than Glenn Beck.

No, excuse me.

I signed up.

I want to follow that person.

And when that doesn't work, then they start just blocking us and narrowing our voice and they start building a wall around us between

me and you.

We agreed that we wanted to talk to each other.

Well, it's just getting too hateful.

Oh,

okay.

All right.

So blocking me or making it harder for my audience.

And by the way, that seems inconsistent.

Well, we got to get rid of hate speech.

Okay.

Can you help me out with

Sarah Zhang from the New York Times, who did all those tweets, F

white people.

And when Candace did it just over the weekend, it took you 20 minutes to ban her.

She reversed it.

She's an African-American that said F

black people.

And she used all of the, she just quoted all of the tweets.

She just reversed the race.

You banned her in 20 minutes.

Seems inconsistent.

Why do we have Donald Trump?

Because

you're not consistent.

So I'm going to say something that I know is controversial because I'm already getting beaten up

online for saying this this morning.

Digital ghettoization.

You don't need to round people up anymore.

All you have to do is make sure there's a wall around them digitally so

they can talk all they want.

Talk all you want, buddy.

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

No one will hear you.

We've put you at a ghetto, and we've built a wall around you.

And you're free to do everything.

You do everything you want.

Well, Glenn, now, wait a minute.

When it comes to Alex Jones, I mean, he said some reprehensible things.

I know.

I've been consistent on Alex Jones since the first time I heard him.

I'm probably the only one in the media that has a 20-year long-standing, very clear record on Alex Jones being despicable.

So I know who he is.

But we're entering a time where there is a distinction without difference.

The government's not doing this.

Private companies are doing this.

Yes.

So you're right.

That is a distinction.

But what in the end is the difference?

When I saw that LinkedIn, LinkedIn

banned him.

LinkedIn.

What did he, how did he violate LinkedIn?

Can LinkedIn show me what rules he violated on LinkedIn?

This is a mob.

Everybody wants their bonus points.

Everybody wants their brownie points.

Yeah, we got rid of them too.

What

did he violate on LinkedIn?

Help me out.

Now, I happen to have

a tweet

from Christina Warren.

And she said, F-white people, she used the whole word, F-white people.

Now, why do I bring this up?

Because I'm pretty sure she's on LinkedIn.

And she is a vice president of Microsoft that owns LinkedIn.

Now, there was no trouble with her saying F white people.

I'm just wondering,

did he do something worse than that on LinkedIn?

Here's why it's important to know.

Even the Nazis sat down and wrote down all of the rules.

If you don't have rules and your problem is inconsistency, what's causing our turmoil is there are no rules.

There's nothing cut in stone, not even our gender.

Nothing is in stone.

There is no absolute truth.

There is no list that you can say, well, I don't want to do that.

I'd like to know from LinkedIn.

I know what Alex Jones did.

I told you

long before you were ever on the Alex Jones bandwagon how bad and how dangerous this guy was.

So I'm very well aware, and it does mean absolutely no good to defend the position of freedom of speech with Alex Jones.

But the Bill of Rights only counts when it hurts you personally to stand.

And this one's killing me.

I would just like the list

because it seems as though it's a little bit subjective right now

and if you can't tell me specifically what that list is I'm concerned you could do that to other people

because I don't know if anybody else has noticed but we're entering a time of the McCarthy hearings

you're not even given a microphone and told to sit and sit in front of Congress You're just gone

And it's happening on both sides

So I just like to know what the rules are because I can guarantee you that my company will play by the rules my company will know the difference between what you can and cannot do on each platform.

And if we violate them, we will know and we will have knowingly violated them and say to ourselves, if we do that, that will probably get us kicked off.

Well, it's more important that we say that.

At least I'll know going in.

Specifically, LinkedIn, I'd like to start with you.

What rule did he violate?

Because I certainly don't want to be put into your digital ghetto.

Do you want the LinkedIn statement on their decision?

Now, the Alex Jones seems to still be up on LinkedIn, but InfoWars has been removed.

They say we have removed the InfoWars company page for violating our terms of service.

We value the professional community on LinkedIn and strive to create a platform where the exchange of ideas by professionals can happen without harmful misinformation, bullying, harassment, or hate.

We encourage our members to report any inappropriate content or behavior.

We investigate, and if it's in violation, take action, which could include removing the content or suspending the account.

So, what were the complaints against him?

What did they complain that he did?

What exactly did they do?

I know, I know all of the things about, you know, the

crisis actors, and there was no shootings.

I know how despicable he is.

I'd like to know specifically

what did they say he was doing to bully people on LinkedIn?

And tell me what the new thing is because he's been doing all of this stuff for 20 years.

20 years.

All of a sudden, because Apple decided to take the first plunge, now everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon because now it's easy.

And look, yes,

is he passing around harmful misinformation?

Sure.

Sure is.

He's been doing it the entire time.

So you're right.

But there is a difference here.

Do you think this is going to make it better?

LinkedIn, Twitter,

SoundCloud,

all of these, all of these.

Oh, by the way, new one, Pinterest.

Pinterest.

Pinterest has taken down.

Pinterest.

Okay.

So you think this is making it better?

What do you think the people who listen to, you've just proved him right.

And by the way, I'd like to know, how come Louis Farrakhan is still everywhere?

What does Louis Farrakhan have to do?

Why is there a double standard there with Louis Farrakhan?

Oh, I remember because I remember asking this question in the 1980s, and at least it made sense to me.

You don't want to ban anybody.

You don't want to make, you don't want to silence and quash anybody because you'll make them into a martyr.

And it'll make their argument stronger.

That's not what we do in America.

What the hell do you, what are you thinking?

You think this is going to make this better?

When a guy who says they're going to come for me, they're going to come for me, they're going to silence me, and I know, just prove that I'm right, and then you come for him and you silence him.

What are you, a moron?

What do you not believe?

Here's the answer: here's the answer.

I'll pose it as a question, but this is the answer.

What is it?

Do you not believe that the American people should be trusted to be able to look at everything and come to the right conclusion?

Your actions through journalism

have answered that question for decades.

My Patriot Supply.

Boy, I don't, you know, I just don't.

May I recommend that,

you know, just for any old reason, I mean, just could be anything, Civil War, anything, anything, Russian hackers.

You know,

loss of the power grid from Russians.

You know, things, anything.

It could be anything.

It could be wildfires.

It could be the fact that FEMA

said that

they can't handle all of the disasters this year, and you're not going to have FEMA coming to help you this year.

Okay, all right.

If your home had no power for several weeks because of Russian hackers or because of

a hurricane,

what happens if you had to get out of your house quickly and your house burns down in the California wildfires?

There's no power.

There's no grocery stores around.

You have to pay everything out of pocket.

Now, how do you survive?

Please, food storage.

Long-term power outage, natural disaster, it doesn't matter.

It's grab and go.

It's my Patriot supply.

My Patriot supply.

They sell dozens, dozens of emergency food kits as well as gravity-powered water filtration systems at mypatriotsupply.com.

MypatriotSupply.com.

Please prepare yourself for the worst and then don't worry about it.

Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the program.

A little feisty today.

Glad you're here.

Hadn't noticed.

You're just kind of focusing on the wrong thing, in my opinion, however.

Alex Jones, First Amendment, or free speech in a civil society.

Or just consistency.

I just want the rules.

I just want to know what the rules are.

That's part of this conversation.

I think the bigger part, though, is we can't ban Alex Jones because of the comedy.

Think of all the comedy we would lose if Alex Jones goes away.

It is true.

And I'm not going to go seek it out.

It's got to be.

We've got to do an Alex Jones retrospective.

We've got to do an Alex Jones retrospective because that could, I I mean, just the memorial service there could last an hour with some of the stuff.

I was looking at Rolling Stone's top Alex Jones conspiracy theories and, you know, government controls the weather, pizza restaurant, you know, all that.

The last one, former Fox News host Glenn Beck is a CIA operative.

Oh, wait, why aren't you laughing?

Don't laugh.

I'm a double O.

Glenn Beck.

In his book, What Are Journalists For?,

Jay Rosen writes:

The flow of information from source to public through the media is not a simple matter of bringing information to light.

It is about instilling citizens with an attentiveness to information that is vigilant and productive.

Okay.

We've all heard about Sarah Zhang, Asian journalist, hired by the New York Times editorial staff, despite having several years' worth of undoubtedly, undeniably racist tweets.

Andrew Sullivan penned an excellent article on on the ordeal and he concludes, yes, we all live on a campus now.

The neo-Marxist analysts of society in which we are all mere appendages of various groups of oppressors and oppressed and in which the oppressed definitely cannot be at fault is now the governing philosophy in almost all liberal media.

That is how the Washington Post can provide a platform for contempt and the New York Times can hire and defend someone who expresses racial hatred.

The great thing about being in the social justice movement is how liberating it can feel to give voice to incinerary, satisfying bigotry and know that you're still on the right side of history.

⁇

So since the story blew up, we've talked about it on this program a lot, and so you know, in case you missed it, I don't believe that she should be fired.

Largely because we have to put an end to these insane social media lynchings.

This is not what I, this is not what I believe.

It's not what I even want to talk about.

This whole thing revolves around the same thing we talked about last hour with Alex Jones: consistency.

Alex Jones, crazy conspiracy theorist, says hateful things that could cause violence.

Louis Farrakhan.

Same thing.

Why is one okay?

Why is the other not?

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

A kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation.

The divided house in this case is the New York Times, and they deserve to fall.

But they won't, because they'll continue to be propped up by this whole new philosophy.

After the Zhang incident, the newspaper released her following statement.

Her journalism and the fact that she's a young Asian woman has made her frequent of online harassment.

For a period of time, she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers.

She now sees that this approach only served to feed the vitriol that we often see on social media.

Okay, so wow, that's very kind.

You're going to forgive everybody else?

There are so many instances of double standards within the New York Times, so many reasons that this statement reveals it as a broken house.

For now, I'd just like to look at one New York Times article in particular.

It's from earlier this year.

It's following the Roseanne tweets.

The article was headlined.

Roseanne is gone, but the culture that gave her a show isn't.

Now, the article is fairly alarmist, lumping all white people together as bigoted and hateful.

We expect that from the New York Times.

The paper ran a handful of really huffy articles decrying Roseanne's obscene racism.

And one perfect example appears in the introduction of the hard news piece about the matter.

Roseanne Barr crosses the line and ABC draws one.

They've deleted that now.

It now reads, when people decide to let racism slide, it costs for the rest of us.

Yes, you heard that right from the New York Times.

When people decide to let racism slide, it costs for the rest of us, end quote.

The article concludes with this.

I'll be cynical again tomorrow, but for now, I'm glad that a corporation had the opportunity to think not only of its bottom line, they chose to draw a line instead.

Hmm.

Well, we know that about ABC.

New York Times, can you tell me where your line is?

It's Tuesday, August 7th.

This is the Glen Beck program.

All right, let's move forward and have a dangerous conversation, shall we?

Let's have a conversation and ask questions we're not supposed to ask.

Talk to somebody we probably shouldn't talk to.

There's a new book out how modern feminism lost touch with science, love, and common sense.

It's called Sex Matters, and it's Mona Sharon,

New York Times best-selling author.

And I would imagine somebody that would easily fit Mona into the intellectual dark web.

I would have to plead guilty to that.

Okay, good, good.

Good.

All right, so let's have that conversation that

everybody

is saying that we shouldn't have for one reason or another.

You know, so much of what is wrong in America today involves the breakdown of

understanding between men and women and basic understandings about human sexuality and about family life and about those just basic things, that there are differences between men and women, that they are complementary, doesn't mean one is inferior and one is superior,

that

a thriving society is not possible without healthy families at the root that create solid citizens and happy individuals.

And so that's what I set out to do in this book is talk about the ways in which feminism in particular and also feminism's linking with the sexual revolution have undermined our happiness.

And, you know, there is data showing that women in particular

are not only are they not more happy because of the advances of feminism over the last 40 years, they're less happy.

They are less happy now.

than women were in 1972.

Women today are less happy than their mothers were at the same stage stage of life or even their grandmothers.

Now, see, if we weren't having an adult conversation, I could take that line and say, Imona Sharon just said that women should go back to the kitchen and they should be subservient to their husband and not work.

Right.

I get that a lot,

which is so simple-minded.

Look, you know, one can applaud the changes in the economy.

And by the way, a lot of the reason that women have more opportunities is because the economy changed.

Not just the feminist movement, but

the economy changed from an industrial economy to a knowledge-based economy, which created many more opportunities for women.

So that's one thing.

But look, I'm not afraid to give feminism credit for certain changes in our society, for saying that old stereotypes

that were limiting needed reform, and that's fine.

But I challenge them to admit that they also made some serious mistakes.

They signed on to the sexual revolution in a big way.

They believed that the sexual revolution was going to be a great thing for women.

That if men could be promiscuous, women should too, and that this would be terrific.

It would lead to some sort of idyllic

future in which marriage would be gone and all rules about sexual behavior would be gone and everybody would be lubricious

and sleeping around, and it would be wonderful.

And it turned out it's not so wonderful.

And look around.

Look at the campus rape problem that we have.

Look at the bitterness between men and women and the misunderstanding.

So that's one thing.

And the other huge mistake they made was defaming and denigrating the family and marriage.

So

let me go here for a second.

You know, talk a little bit about the denigration of the family, but also the denigration of men.

Men are evil and nobody knows how to be a man anymore.

Nobody, I mean, the hell with chivalry, just

being a man is not accepted.

There are so few acknowledgements in our culture now that masculinity can be a positive good.

There's all kinds of talk on college campuses, and as you were saying earlier, you know, everything is a college campus now.

And our whole society is dominated by that style of thinking.

And what you read and are taught on college campuses is that there's something called toxic masculinity that has to be reformed, drummed out.

But you never get, and you were saying men don't know how to behave.

Well, young men are never taught anymore what the positive ways are to express their masculinity.

I've tried in my newspaper columns to cite examples of

when masculinity in its natural state is a wonderful thing that we should appreciate.

Give me an example.

So, you know, you remember the

terrorist who attacked that train in France.

Came out of the bathroom.

He had automatic weapons.

And six men, not women, and women have plenty of virtues, but this isn't one of them, okay?

And

most of the time.

So six men jumped up and took him on, even though they were unarmed,

and they fought him to a standstill, and they saved God knows how many lives.

There was an episode in Aurora, Colorado, where a crazed gunman opened fire on a movie theater.

Four young men put their own bodies over their girlfriends to protect them.

Three died in the act.

One was severely injured.

That is the kind of thing that is inherent in masculinity too.

It isn't just, masculinity is not just all about trying to get women in bed or being aggressive or being

impossible, you know, or being a boar.

Masculinity has a positive side.

And so when you're trying to civilize young men, you can't do it by telling them that they're rotten and horrible and toxic and that they have to become more like women.

You have to say, you have tremendous capacity to be good.

You also have the capacity to be evil.

So do women.

And the job of any good society is to teach them to make the most out of what those masculine virtues are.

Look, they do have a lot of energy.

They do have a tremendous amount of sexual interest, boys do.

I raised three boys.

That's part of the male makeup.

But what you do is you channel it into telling boys that they are to use their strength for good, that they are to protect the weak and the small, not abuse their strength against the weak and the small.

And that's how you make good men.

And you know,

this isn't rocket science.

I mean, societies have been doing this for centuries and millennia.

Well, I would say that the Judeo-Christian Western world has been trying to do this for a long time, and we're rejecting all of that.

All of it.

That's right.

That is absolutely right.

And, you know,

the

model, when you think about the word gentleman, gentleman, right, you want to teach men to be more gentle than their natures would necessarily dictate.

The feminists think they've discovered this,

except that they call it toxic masculinity.

I think that's the wrong way to say it.

You know, I think they just make more enemies

and get people's backs up.

What they should be saying is that men and women together, when they marry, understand the basic nature of men and women and boys and girls, and they work with that.

By the way, little girls have a lot of traits that need to be socialized away also to the degree that we can.

Little girls, I don't know if you have children.

I have four.

Three little girls and one boy.

All right.

Well, little girls can use their words in an incredibly cruel way.

No.

No.

It's almost like you've had a teenager.

I had three boys, but I was a little girl, so I can tell you that I know whereof I speak.

And so girls have to be taught also to curb those aggressive aspects of their own natures that they tend to express more through cutting gossip and

social cruelty rather than

the physical kind

in general.

But you know, we've gotten so the feminists injected into our cultural bloodstream this notion of the war between the sexes, that this is all about a fight between men and women.

And really it isn't.

It has to be, in order to create good people, men and women have to cooperate, and they have to be realistic about the way nature made us.

You know, one of the things that I say to young people when I speak to them is, if you accept as a given that there are certain basic tendencies on the part of men and women, it helps you to not take it so personally when your husband or your boyfriend, for example, is just not into talking about feelings for three hours.

You know,

you're not going to be caught unawares.

You're going to realize that that's just kind of the way men are, and you have to limit your expectations for just quite how much they can talk about their feelings.

That's why you have girlfriends and sisters and so forth.

Okay, so, Mona, I have to take a break.

I would like to ask you to hold on because I want to ask you one question about gender.

You have done your work on that, and we have like 172 genders now.

And

I would just like your position on gender when we come back.

Mona Sharon, she is the author of the new book, Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense.

Mona Sharon is with us.

I think

a member of the intellectual dark web, I think.

I would put her in there.

She is a woman who is unafraid of doing the research and then coming back with the scientific answer and also the answer that has proven out to be true throughout history.

I want to talk to you a little bit about the,

you know, the

100 and I don't even know how many genders there are now.

And it is, it's, it's really, to me, it's ridiculous.

Talk me out of that?

You came to the wrong place.

I thought I did.

Yeah.

So, you know,

when you look around at our society and you see parents who, when they have a newborn, they refuse to say whether it's a boy or a girl

because they don't want to impose on the child a gender.

They say the child will decide when it's older.

Look, George Orwell once said that the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.

And I think that applies very much to our time when we are so nuts on the subject of gender.

Now, how did this all begin?

begin?

It began because of the feminists, the second wave feminists, not the suffragists, they were sane, but the second wave feminists decided that there were no differences between men and women that were not just obvious anatomical differences.

And they went a good way toward trying to claim, for example, when there was a botch circumcision, horrible story, but there was a botched circumcision of a little boy whose penis was removed.

And this was in the 70s.

And they said, the feminists all argued, yes, you know, raise him him as a girl.

You'll never know.

He'll never know.

And so on.

And it was a terrible tragedy.

And it's a kind of hubris where they thought they could refuse to acknowledge nature, refuse to acknowledge reality, and reshape it.

Hang on just a second.

I'm thrilled that you know this story.

Of course you do, but most people don't.

This was a botched circumcision.

He lost his penis.

He was raised as a child.

He was put through therapy of

one of the guys who is still beloved as a guy who did gender studies.

Dr.

John Money, who invented the term gender identity.

Yeah, and he was having

the two twins mount each other as kids.

They ended up, the one that was treated as a girl, ended up killing himself just recently in the last few years.

That's true.

That is true.

That is a terrible tragedy.

It is a monstrous story, and that's where this gender identity stuff comes from.

And it absolutely does.

And I will tell you that in my book, Sex Matters, I go back and quote the New York Times that did this sort of very lavish coverage of that so-called girls coming out at a scientific conference when she was about eight years old.

And the New York Times said, you see that she's doing great as a little girl, Brenda, they called her, him.

And they said, this proves that the feminists were right, that gender is a social construct.

And so, you know, that is the root of our current difficulty: is that the feminists insisted on this.

But here's the twist: okay.

So, the feminists said in the 1970s, and John Money, I put him in that category.

Wait, wait, wait.

I don't want to cut you off.

I don't want to cut you off.

We have 30 seconds left.

Listen, before you start that story, let's take a break and then we'll come back

and

join and get the rest of the story.

If you do not know, if you don't know the story of

gender identity and its history, holy cow, are you in for a wild ride?

And Mona will continue on that coming up in just a second.

Sex Matters is the name of her book, How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense back in.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

We're with Mona Sherry and Sharon, and she is

the author of the new book, Sex Matters.

And we were just in the midst of her telling us about

gender roles and what gender means.

And she was telling the story of a doctor who I think is sick, really, truly disturbed.

And he's the guy who started

this whole gender identity nonsense.

And it started because of a botched surgery, not by him, but by somebody else, a botched surgery of circumcision where the boy's penis was cut off and he was a twin, twin boys.

So this doctor came in and said, raise him as a girl because, you know, gender is just, you know, it's, it's just, it's all, you know, upbringing.

So just treat him like a girl and he'll become a girl.

And we just got to the point of the story where

he,

who everyone tried to force into a she,

was...

had a coming out, and the New York Times was praising it and saying, see, the feminists are right.

Back to you, Mona.

yeah so they said you see the the feminists are right it's all about how you raise children and this girl girl is developing perfectly normally well that was a lie not necessarily the New York Times was lying but it turned out that that was the story they were given not true this little boy was constantly tearing off the dresses that he was put in he wanted to urinate standing up even though his penis was gone you know there were all of these problems that he was having eventually he told he became suicidal and his parents revealed to him when he was a teenager what had happened.

And then he insisted on living as a man.

He eventually married, but the initial trauma was so bad.

And by the way, he went through many, many surgeries in both directions.

Awful story.

But anyway, he did eventually commit suicide, the accumulated trauma.

Dr.

John Money, the one who said that sexuality was completely mutable, is now the father of sexual, the term gender identity.

You see, what happened was that these feminists of the 1970s claimed there were no differences between the sexes, but science caught up with them.

And for example, I quote Diane Halpern, who is the former president of the American Psychological Association, who wrote a book about sex differences in the brain, different cognitive abilities.

Sorry, Glenn, are you sitting down?

Yes.

Okay, men are better at math than women.

Not in my house.

I mean,

well, you know, there are going to be individual variations, but at the very high end,

men outnumber women at the high end of math and science ability by about 13 to 1.

Doesn't mean there are no women in that category, but there are a minority.

Oh, no, wait a minute.

That can't be because Google is having a hard time getting...

Exactly.

See, my book is relevant to everything that's going on right now.

But men also outnumber women, by the way, at the lower end of the spectrum.

They have more mental retardation.

They have more ADHD.

they have more problems.

So that's the way nature did things.

So science caught up.

Science figured out and Diane Halpern, the former head of the APA, said, you know, I wasn't prepared.

I thought that all these differences were cultural until I reviewed the literature and then I realized it's just not true.

There are biological differences in thinking.

And so because the science caught up with them, because it taught us all about the role of hormones and so on and so forth, and there have been studies on infants you know just a few days old and they can see differences in the way baby girls and baby boys respond to stimuli and all kinds of evidence okay so what did they do did they say okay i guess we were wrong um it turns out there really are differences that are interesting and important between men and women nope they said there's this thing called gender identity And that's the thing that is completely beautiful.

That's the thing that can change and is totally subjective.

And so when a child is born, they're now telling us, you don't know whether their gender identity,

their subjective feelings about themselves are male or female or some other gender, which they've invented.

And so that's how they have retreated into this realm of pure subjectivity.

And I, you know, am pretty tough in the book on the people.

Look, I don't care what adults do.

If adults want to change their bodies and go through surgeries and dress like the other sex, that's totally fine.

It's a free country.

But what is happening with children is really

really dangerous and tragic it is tragic children go through stages I went through a stage when I was a little girl I was a tomboy I like to play with boys trucks and I like to dress like a boy and climb trees God forbid I would be a little boy today because they might my parents might be told look you know by experts you need to ratify oh I asked to be called Timmy I asked the kids to call me Timmy I thought that was great.

Imagine.

I mean, if that were true today, my parents would probably be told that they had to ratify my sexual, my gender identity.

Mona, you are,

you don't even know how oppressed you are.

You were oppressed by your parents, and now you're in denial.

That's exactly right.

Most of you are in denial, and I've had three children.

Yeah.

Mona,

other than the fundamental right to choose your gender when you're seven years old, we are told, as we're going into, you know, people are talking about the Supreme Court, it's been in the news, we're told that the ultimate fundamental female right is the right to abortion.

You write in the book, the elevation of abortion as a key feminist principle reveals the moral bankruptcy of the feminist movement.

It has severed the ageless bond between mother and child, hardening women against their own weak and utterly defenseless unborn children.

The feminist embrace of abortion is also a rejection of femininity itself.

That's got to be winning you a lot of friends.

Well, it's the truth.

The feminists did not have to become cheerleaders for abortion.

The earliest feminists, the suffragettes, who I also quote in the book, were opponents of abortion.

They saw abortion as another kind of oppression of women by men.

And the fact is, one would have thought that one of the nicest aspects of human nature is the love between parents and children, fathers and children, mothers and children.

This is one of the basics of human life that we like to see in animals.

You know, we see a mother

taking good care of her cubs, a mother bear, and we say, isn't that great?

It's moving, it's touching.

And yet, when it comes to us, we say that it's a human right to kill our unborn children.

It's cruel, it's barbaric.

I think the day will come when we will look back on this with shame.

And feminists have a lot to answer for on this.

They made it their marquee issue.

Hona, let me ask you,

I have been doing in the last year a lot of research on the postmodernist movement.

And I don't think we are anymore in the progressive era.

I think we're now at that crossroads.

We're at the threshold to where we've entered into the postmodern era, where all of that teaching and all of that nonsense, that there is no truth and everything else is starting to take root.

And people don't know what to do.

They don't want to go back, but they also don't want to go forward because they see this is insane.

How much of a role do you think postmodernist theory is playing on what's happening today?

Oh, I definitely think that you're onto something there, that we are in the postmodernist moment, and it's affecting both the left and the right now.

Yeah, it is.

Where, you know, truth is utterly subjective.

Truth is is not an objective thing that you can prove and you can rely on.

Everybody has their truth.

Oprah used to say that, you know, that people were speaking their truth.

There's no your truth and my truth.

There's only the truth.

And admittedly, we have to be modest about our understanding and about our ability to grasp the truth.

That's one of the lessons that I've learned over a long career, is that arrogance is the enemy of understanding, and you have to be open to the possibility that the other side has something to teach you and that you may not have the truth as firmly in your grasp as you think.

But you cannot give up on the idea that there is reality, that there is objective truth.

You know, water will freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, whether I believe in it or not.

Well, it is good to talk to somebody who's unafraid to.

Are you afraid ever to say things?

No.

Emmanuel Kant said one of my favorite quotes.

And I remember reading into the 90s and and thinking, I can't imagine a world like that, but we're living in it now.

He said, there are many things that I believe that I shall never say, but I shall never say the things that I do not believe.

Well, that's a beautiful quote.

That's right.

But there are so many people now who say things they don't believe all the time.

And you know it, and you watch their lips moving, and you think, I know you know that's not true.

Mona, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Glenn.

It was a real pleasure.

You bet.

The name of the book is Sex Matters.

Mona Sharon,

she is somebody that

I put into the

intellectual dark web category that is not coming with an agenda, is

not playing for a team, just to believe something, has used the science to back it up, and is immovable.

The name of the book, again, is Sex Matters.

Let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor this half-hour at Simply Safe Home Security.

Really fantastic protection.

Here's why.

Simply Safe made

a system years ago that they just really made for friends.

They were all in college.

And the guy who started Simply Safe, I don't know, he was

getting his master in, I don't know, electrical engineering or something.

He was at MIT.

And so he's super smart.

And he's trying to, everybody's getting robbed.

And they don't own the houses or the apartments.

So they can't wire the security.

And they can't sign a long contract because they're students.

They're going to be gone in eight months.

And so he decides, I can make something for you.

And he makes a system for them.

And it takes off.

And everybody in the neighborhood wants one.

He's like, I think I have a business here.

And it became SimplySafe.

Now it's a billion-dollar company.

And it protects businesses.

It protects homes.

It has cameras, glass break sensors, everything that you need.

And it comes without wires.

It comes without packages, boxes, and bags.

It comes without contracts.

It is simply safe.

No contracts, no hidden fees, $14.99 a month.

If you want the 24-7 security monitoring, you can get it.

You can do it month by month.

Doesn't matter.

There's no contract.

And you'll save 10% right now at simplysafebeck.com.

That's simply safebeck.com.

Have you listened to Malcolm Gladwell's podcast?

It's really good.

It's really good.

Revisionist history, especially this last season.

I think I told you to listen to one about Brian Williams.

Yeah, and usually when you suggest things, I don't listen, but that one was really a good

suggestion.

It was fascinating because it was sort of a revisiting of the Brian Williams scandal, where if you remember correctly, Brian,

and because he said he was shot at and his helicopter was hit over

Iraq, I believe in 2003-ish.

And, you know, over time, he started off telling the story accurately, and it sort of meshed into this thing where he was taking credit for this heroic act.

He told the story on Letterman, and in the end, lost his job and his credibility over it.

And Gladwell's case, and it's backed up by a lot of science, which was pretty interesting, is that

we as humans believe our memories are perfect video captures of a moment.

And science and study after study after study shows this, that it's not, that we actually screw these things up all the time.

And the way they, quickly, they use these things called flashbulb moments.

So like 9-11 is a flashbulb moment.

We all remember where we were on 9-11.

And scientists, because they're nerds and they're using us for their own purposes, every time one of these things happen, they do a study called a flashball moment study and they'll go and interview all these people about what they were doing at that moment.

So right after 9-11, and there's many examples of this, they go and they talk to people and they say, what were you doing at this moment?

And they have them write it down in their own handwriting, their exact memories of what they were doing.

Then they go back to them five and 10 years later and say, what were you doing on 9-11?

without showing them the piece of paper.

They recount their memories and then they compare them to what they wrote down.

And they're in different places.

They were on the phone instead of in person.

And people are saying all sorts of major differences.

And And people will say, I don't know why I wrote that 10 years ago because that's not true.

I don't know why I would lie.

And then the researchers are like, okay, so you thought you lied at that point?

I must have because I was not there.

Yeah.

And they came up with the number was 60%

of the details of the memories were misremembered in the future.

And that's people actually, over time, sort of build these things,

these stories in their head, and they start to believe them.

It's not necessarily

a lie because they are trying to better their situation.

It is a mistelling of the truth because our memory screws with us over a long period of time.

The reason why I bring this up is because of what Mona said, and it is really one of the underlying principles of my book that I think

will not be necessarily understood

in just a quick read.

And that is exactly what she said: Arrogance.

Arrogance leads us to believe that we are right and everything we believe is right.

I believe in the same stuff I've always believed.

I believe that the Bill of Rights, the Constitution in America is

good.

But

by focusing on that, you stop listening to what other people are saying.

And because they have nothing to teach you, they're just wrong.

And if you start to listen to them, you can start to say, oh, oh, oh, wait, I see what you're saying here.

Okay, you're focused on this.

I got, okay, you're right about that.

You're right.

However, come with me.

But because they're not listening to you, you're not listening to them.

Nobody says, oh, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Yes, you're right about that.

How many times have you done that in real life where you have to get through an argument and you're like, oh, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay, yes, you're right about that, but that's not what I'm talking about.

That's not happening in our society because everyone's treating each other like an enemy.

Everyone says you're lying.

Here's a case of Brian Williams, who everybody said he was lying, where science is showing, no, no, no, even your memory is 60%

wrong.

That's pretty remarkable.

Humility.

Humility is the key to what we're facing.

You know, look at, look, just look at my tweets today.

I defended.

No, I did not.

How can I phrase this so it's most accurate?

I believe we need to know exactly what Alex Jones did verbatim from these companies to get kicked off of LinkedIn and Pinterest.

What are they?

So we all know that the rules are this and we don't violate them.

That's what I'm stating online.

You should see the hate-mongering on all sides in response to that.

Glenn Beck, Mercury.

Glenn Beck.

It's Tuesday, August 7th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Dinesh D'Souza

is a guy that I have watched and respected for years.

And what was the name of your first book, Dinesh?

Oh, well, my original book was Illiberal Education.

It was the book on political correctness.

And I didn't invent the term, but that book popularized that phrase

in 1991.

Yeah, you've been, I found you in probably the mid-90s, and

I have followed you since, and you have become now a pretty good filmmaker.

You have a new movie out, and this one is called, I'm sorry, what is it called?

It's called Death of a Nation.

Death of a Nation.

I saw it.

I'm going to be just straight up with you.

I saw the trailer, and I saw that it was,

even the poster is half Lincoln's face and half Trump's face.

And I thought to myself, Dinesh, good God, man.

Good God.

However, I watched it because I know your movies and I know your intellect.

There's about seven minutes.

And it's at the beginning about three and maybe at the end about three that if I brought somebody who was, you know, if I brought Jake Tapper to it,

you know, or anybody who was very anti-Trump, their skin would crawl because they wouldn't listen to what the message was.

They would just see the comparison to the two.

And you're not comparing the two.

You're comparing the time that the two are entering in.

Exactly.

Exactly.

You know, as a man, Lincoln was brooding, melancholy, philosophical.

I mean,

this is not Trump.

We know that.

And so they're actually opposite in personality and temperament.

But

in situations, there's an eerie similarity.

And I think this is very important because, particularly for people on the right side of the aisle, it is natural to compare Trump to the Reagan era.

And is Trump like Reagan?

And part of what I want to say is that we're not living in the Reagan era.

And so a man like Reagan today, and I'm a young Reaganite, I became a conservative in the Reagan era.

But I think Reagan would be disheartened by our time, the incivility, the sheer savagery of it, the intolerance of it.

He'd be a fish out of water.

The water is just today roiled and ugly.

But the man who would understand right away what's going on if he lived today would be Lincoln.

Why?

Because the water in Lincoln's time was even more roiled.

I mean, think about it.

In 1860,

an outsider, a Republican, comes in.

He wins a very narrow election in a three-man race.

He was expected to lose, but the Democrats had two candidates in the race.

They split the vote.

And the moment he got elected, all hell broke loose.

I mean, they were, and this wasn't just in the South.

The Northern Democrats, Northern Democratic newspapers, were openly calling to plunge the dagger into Lincoln.

Southern Democrats showed that they were so unwilling to live with the election that they were willing to break up the country.

And so that is the kind of toxic atmosphere we're living in now.

And that was the purpose for, admittedly provocatively,

morphing the two heads to say, look, let's think with a little larger compass than just the 1980s.

Okay, so

you go into, you know, you hit that at the very beginning, and then you say,

you know, let's look back at the situation.

Let's look who is fighting for freedom, who is not fighting for freedom historically.

And you make great case.

We can get into that here in a second.

But I think the most powerful point

in the movie is

when you said, well, let's go talk to Mr.

Spencer.

Let's go talk to

the icon of the alt-right.

Why did you do that?

So this is critical because

in this movie, I pick up a theme that I actually began with in Hillary's America, the last movie, and that is the racist history of the Democratic Party.

And the Democratic Party, of course, is the party of slavery, of segregation, of Jim Crow, of the Ku Klux Klan, of racial terrorism, of opposition to the civil rights movement.

I show in this film that there's a deep fascist streak that ran through the Democratic Party, a kind of amazing mutual admiration society between the progressive Democrats on this side of the Atlantic and the fascists in Italy, the National Socialists in Germany.

It's all in the movie.

And then I take on the big switch and I show how that is kind of a fake.

This whole idea that Nixon, with a Wily Southern strategy, brought the racist Dixiecrats into the Republic.

None of this happened.

Did you see, hang on, just a second?

Have you seen his movie yet?

No.

When you get to the, can you just tell the facts of the Dixiecrats?

This, I have,

I'm pretty well read on this stuff.

Yeah.

I had never heard this before.

So the thesis is this.

It's the Democrats sort of get out of jail free card, right?

We may have been the bad guys, but there was this party switch that Nixon went to the deep south, he campaigned with the racists, he brought him over to the Republican Party.

So we hit this in a way

in a multiple punch.

Number one, no one has ever uncovered a single racist campaign statement by Nixon.

None.

So if he's campaigning to the racists, he had to say something.

So then the progressive Democrats go, well, you know what?

Maybe he didn't do that, but he spoke in racial code.

He used phrases like law and order or drugs.

But what this misses, I mean, you know.

And we all know what that means.

We all know what that means.

Well, you know, it's one thing after Ferguson and Missouri to say this, but remember in the 1960s and early 70s, the main issue was the Vietnam War.

So we're talking about draft Dodgers.

We're talking about guys like Abby Hoffman and Bill Ayers, who are fomenting riots and bombing things.

We're talking about hippies and druggies like Timothy Leary, the Berkeley professor who's advocating LSD.

I was old enough to know, I was old enough during that time period to remember my parents talking about the problems in the country.

And what they always assigned the problems to were these damn hippies.

It was never a race thing.

It was these out-of-control, dope-smoking, draft-dodging hippies.

Exactly.

I mean, the Republican slogan from those days was the Democratic Party is the party of acid amnesty and abortion.

Notice that there isn't a racial thing there at all.

Anyway, bottom line of it is Nixon loses the Deep South, which goes to George Wallace, the Democratic segregationist.

Now, Nixon comes into office in 1969.

What's the first thing he does?

Affirmative action.

He passes the first affirmative action laws, basically discriminating in favor of blacks and against whites.

Now, think about it.

If you're a racist, you're courting a racist base.

Are you going to actually put in laws that favor blacks over whites?

And finally, The Crusher.

In the movie, I make a list of the Dixiecrats.

There are about 150 of them.

A bunch of senators.

Because you're not seeing this visually.

When you see this visually, it's overwhelming.

Boom, we put them up on the screen.

You make a list of 150 Dixiecrats.

And then I count how many of them moved over to the Republican Party.

And it turns out it's

how many?

I mean, you would be.

the Democrats saying it, you'd think 100, 120, 130.

Okay.

Exactly.

And so the answer is in the Senate, one guy, Strom Thurmond.

One.

And in the House, one guy, Albert Watson.

One.

And so

148 Dixiecrats stayed in the Democratic Party.

They died as Democrats.

They were lying.

They have buildings in Washington, D.C.

named after them right now.

And so

this is the fable of the big switch.

It's crushed.

So then the question becomes: what is the only comeback for the left at this point?

And the only comeback is Charlottesville.

And the argument is, wait a minute.

Today, the neo-Nazis, the Klansmen, the white supremacists are right-wingers.

There they are in Charlottesville.

Look at them.

They're wearing Trump hats.

Now, we should step back and say for a minute, just as a backdrop to this Richard Spencer business, that no one has actually ever done any empirical work on this.

There's been no survey, no study of neo-Nazis or white supremacists to show, for example, that 90% of them voted for Trump.

There's no data, zero.

The whole case hinges on a few images that are indelibly stamped in our mind from Charlottesville of these white supremacists who are right-wingers.

And so what I do in the movie, and by the way, in the accompanying book of the same title, Death of a Nation, I actually look at all the leading white supremacists.

There are about eight of them.

And I show that every single one of them has a deep background in the left.

All of them, without exception.

Jason Kessler, the guy who organized the Charlottesville rally, rally, an Obama activist and an Occupy Wall Street activist.

This is on the Southern Poverty Law Center website, by the way.

So the media knew about this at the time, but they suppressed it because it didn't fit their narrative.

So then I decided in the movie, and this is what Glenn's alluding to, I said, let's bring out the poster boy of white supremacy, the guy who's so controversial that when he went to Florida, the governor declared a state of emergency.

This is the white supremacist of white supremacists.

And he is.

Richard Spencer is a Nazi.

And he coined the term alt-right.

He coined the term alt-right.

He presents himself on the right, so I put him in front of the camera and I begin the interview.

His wife is the official English translator of Alexander Dugan.

And so it goes sort of like this.

What do you think of the American founding?

Horrible mistake.

I go, all men are created equal, true or false?

False.

I go, where do our rights come from?

He goes, well, they don't come from God or anything like that.

They don't come from nature.

I said, well, I think we have a clip.

Do we have a clip, Sarah?

Play a clip of this, please.

As a right outside of a collective community, you have rights, not eternally, or given by God or by nature.

Who gives them to us?

You have them because you're a part of this community.

Ultimately, the state gives those rights to you.

So the state is the source of rights, not the individual.

It simply is.

What would be your take on, say, Reagan?

I do not think that he was a great president.

Who's your favorite president?

There is something about

Jackson.

There's something about Polk as well, someone who only served one term.

But I mean, Jackson and Polk, as you know, both Democrats.

Party, I mean, party is just the vessel that one uses.

I mean, Jackson's the founder of the Democratic Party.

Not only is Jackson the founder of the Democratic Party, Jackson is the biggest, one of the, if not the biggest racist, with an exception of Woodrow Wilson, ever to be in our office.

He was a stone-cold race killer.

I mean, there is, you know, the good thing about this, the beauty of all this stuff can be checked, right?

This is when I speak on campus.

Young people, they won't believe you.

So I say, listen, just Google Andrew Jackson and go to Images Online.

You'll actually see an ad that he put in a Tennessee paper to capture one of his runaway slaves.

And he offers a reward, but he basically says, if you can give the guy 300 lashes when you catch him, I'll give you an extra $50.

So he actually wants the guy 300 lashes.

I mean, that's whipping a man almost to death.

So, and you'll never, the kind of thing that the Democrats said about slaves and about race in the 19th century, there's nothing like this in the American founding.

So, there's an effort by the left to blame the founders for the crimes of the Democratic Party.

In any event, I think what I think is remarkable about the Spencer interview, and it goes on and on.

We go on and discuss all kinds of issues.

Very obvious, this guy is an atheist.

He's not just a leftist, he's on the far left.

Yeah, he's a

fascist.

He's a fascist.

He's a national socialist.

And a collectivist.

And a collectivist.

And the remarkable thing about it is, there it is in the movie.

We've put a clip out on social media, dead silence from the mainstream media.

Their whole Charlottesville narrative is in ruins, and they kind of know it.

And also, this is, by the way, the beauty of a movie, because I lay all this out in the book, and I could have interviewed Spencer and published a transcript.

But when you put it on the screen and you see the guy and it's coming out of the horse's mouth, it settles the argument.

Are you staying for time on television with me today?

I'm going to try to do that.

Okay, because I want to talk to you about ⁇ I want to go a step further on this because in the movie you talk about after the war how the big switch happened and they said, oh, I'll put the fascists over here to the right.

And I'd like to talk to you about that more in here.

It's very eye-opening because

prior to World War II, everybody knew that fascism was on the left.

The fascists knew it and the anti-fascists knew it.

Mussolini, for example, recognized FDR immediately as a kindred spirit.

Mussolini reviews FDR's book in an Italian magazine.

Basically, he goes, Great guy, one of us, he's a fascist.

Hitler says the same thing, pretty much.

Yeah, in the movie, we actually have, I wish

we could have done it in German, but we actually have long excerpts from the Volkischer Bio Bache, the official Nazi newspaper, praising the New Deal.

They basically go, our big fear is that the New Deal will fail.

Because their idea is that FDR, like the Nazis, they're putting the common good over the individual good, its state rights over individual rights, and its redistribution.

There's a wonderful book that came out recently by the German scholar Gotz Eli.

It's called Hitler's Beneficiaries.

It talks about how a lot of Hitler's hatred for the Jews and the confiscation of wealth of the Jews was to fund the Nazi welfare state.

The Nazis wanted to redistribute, they needed money, and so the Jews played the role that today the left uses Wall Street bankers.

And frankly, their rhetoric is very similar.

Greedy swindlers.

I mean, this was the staple of Nazi rhetoric.

This is the staple of left-wing rhetoric.

Hitler also distinguished between what he called productive capitalism, which would be the guy, the working-class guy, and what he called finance capitalism.

And notice the Democrats do the same thing.

They don't attack Procter and Gamble.

They attack Wall Street.

They attack finance capitalism.

And so these parallels are, they're not only historical, but they're with us today.

More in just a second, with Dinesh D'Souza and his new movie, which is out right now and really worth seeing.

If you can take your friend and say, okay, get past the Abraham Lincoln Donald Trump thing.

Just get past that.

Just, you know, maybe stand out in the lobby for about five minutes and then come in.

You don't need to do that.

You are going to have the most eye-opening experience.

Everyone in this audience should see Death of a Nation.

It's in theaters right now.

See it.

It is really an important education to score.

Welcome back to the program with Dinesh D'Souza, who has a new book out, or sorry, a new movie out that you really need to see, Death of a Nation.

Dinesh, could I switch topics with you here for just a second?

Did you hear what happened to Alex Jones?

I didn't.

Okay.

Alex Jones, I want to make it really clear.

I've been against Alex Jones and what he says and does on the air.

I think he is a very poison-ridden guy

and has caused a lot of trouble in this country.

And I think he's sick, quite honestly.

Democrats used to love him when he was bashing Bush and saying he was responsible for 9-11.

Yeah, the 9-11

truther and Bush blew up the levees and all of that stuff comes from it.

He's just poison.

He's just poison.

However, I can't seem to get a real clear understanding on, for instance, what exactly he did on LinkedIn to get him thrown into a digital ghetto.

He has been walled off where, you know, hey, you can be as free as you want in your church.

You do whatever you want in your church.

The minute you step outside, no,

we have taken a guy who's just as bad as Louis Farrakhan, but Farrakhan gets a pass.

He doesn't.

Now, he's like Spencer.

He's not a conservative.

Is this concerning to you at all about just one day you're there and next day you're completely erased?

Deeply.

I think this is actually

very scary.

And my question is: first of all, where's the ACLU on this?

Oh, yeah.

They're not found.

Nowhere to be found.

Nowhere to be found.

And the other thing is that I'm seeing all this jubilation over the fact: hey, we got rid of Alex Jones.

But Alex Jones is the tip of the iceberg.

There's a lot of other people we need to get rid of next.

Who's next?

And make into digital non-persons.

Now, do we want to live in this kind of society?

What I find remarkable is the ease with which people

adopt this fascist mindset, a fascist mindset it is, where you're singling out people.

And in a sense, we don't even have to discuss Alex Jones's views.

They're immaterial.

I don't even care what they are.

It wouldn't matter.

Either we believe in a First Amendment, either we believe in the- Well, they will say this is the argument today.

Well, the government didn't silence him.

Well, that's a distinction without a difference.

I mean, if all of the media just blocks him out and he has no access, you can have a cute little website.

But

the world is different.

Yes.

I mean, strictly speaking, the First Amendment is a limitation on the government.

I agree with that.

Just as, just as the 14th Amendment is a limitation on the government discriminating, let's say, on the basis of race, right?

But can you imagine if high-tech companies decide that here's a black guy, we don't like the fact that he's black.

We're a private company.

Don't talk to us about the Constitution because we're private.

We can do whatever we want.

The left would never say that.

They would be like, hound these companies and make sure that they respect these fundamental non-discrimination principles that are enshrined not just in our laws, but in our society.

And so the First Amendment to me is basic, and this, I think, is the kind of fundamental violation that requires very concerned action.

Dinesh D'Souza, I believe we're going to be seeing him tonight at five o'clock.

You won't want to miss that.

We'll have

a little longer conversation.

Dinesh D'Souza, again, see the film, Death of a Nation.

It is available everywhere.

It's hard to sell your home.

A lot of times, if you don't catch the market exactly right, it might take a little bit of effort.

You need someone who knows what they're doing, and you need someone who's going to keep you up to date.

I tried to sell a house out of state, and it was a tough process.

You have to have somebody who not only knows what they're doing, but is really engaged in making your home sell.

And that's why they made RealEstateAgentsitrust.com.

RealestateAgentsitrust.com is a website with over 1,200 real estate agents that have been screened through a bunch of different categories to make sure they are performing at a high level and that they're trustworthy.

And when you start in the biggest financial transaction of your entire life,

when you engage in something like that, it has to work.

You can't screw it up.

You can't have somebody who doesn't know what they're doing.

You can't have somebody who makes a little bit of a boo-boo.

These are hundreds of thousands of dollars we're talking about.

If you need to sell your house fast and for the most money, or if you're looking to buy, go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

You'll be be introduced to the best agent in your town, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Let me pause for just some good news for a second.

I just heard yesterday from a guy in Los Angeles who is a large filmmaker who

called up and said,

Is anybody making a movie about the Nazarene fund?

And I said,

nope.

He said, I just found out about it.

This dwarfs Schindler and his list.

This dwarfs it.

It does.

And that is you.

I really want you to know

that

if you have been involved in the Nazarene Fund,

you...

Only, I think, in your passing will you realize what you've done and realize

the impact that you have made?

You have saved so many lives.

Now, most people don't know this because the mainstream media is just not covering it

on any front.

But ISIS is

still operative.

They have about 6,000 square miles that they are running.

We know of...

about 300

or sorry, 3,000 missing Yazidis

that are being held as slaves.

There's an untold number of Christians, women, and children that are being held as sex slaves and sold in the open market.

And because of you and the Nazarene Fund and your support,

you're changing the world and saving these people.

I want to tell you a couple of stories,

one that we're working on and one that has just been resolved.

But I want to bring in our chief operations officer.

He's Lieutenant Colonel Rudy

Atala.

And Rudy was with the Air Force.

Were you with the Air Force for 20 years, Rudy?

21 years.

21 years.

And now you're

the COO of the Nazarene Fund, and we can't thank you.

You've done so much

to help free these people.

Can you tell me what happened to the

Shalzins, the Shawlzin family?

Yes, absolutely.

So on the 25th of July, about a week ago or so,

there was a large coordinated attack by ISIS fighters in the southern part of Syria called Sweda.

And the coordinated attack started at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Several suicide bombers entered the provincial town of Sweda.

They detonated themselves in strategic areas, and a battle ensued.

And while that was going on, at the same time, other ISIS fighters went along the eastern front of the city on the on the other side and kidnapped close to 40 women and children and the the Shelhin's family were part of that so Mrs.

Abir Shalhin and her four children were kidnapped from the the Shmiti village which is part of the on the outskirts of Sweda and and taken away were the girls the three girls or or do you know the makeup of the children

Yeah, I have the names of the children.

I believe

it's

two girls and two boys.

So are the boys in more danger?

Because I know the girls are kept for sex slaves.

Are the boys in more danger of like organ harvesting?

No, actually the organ harvesting, which we can talk about,

can happen to anybody as long as they are a match

for some buyer in Eastern Europe or Gulf states, then

the ISIS fighters will use them as a commodity.

They're doing this in refugee,

they abduct people from different refugee areas across different parts of Syria.

In this case, by the way, on this attack in the Sweda area, on the 2nd of August,

one 19-year-old college student from that village refused to cooperate with the ISIS fighters, so they decapitated him

and videotaped it

and sent a copy of the video to his family and to the village to scare everybody.

So two days ago, the villagers responded angrily by lynching captured ISIS fighters in the town square.

So this is an ongoing event right now.

By the way, this attack caused 204

people.

The death toll was 204 people dead, 180 civilians wounded.

And the 40 or 45 that were kidnapped, do we know where they are?

So

they were moved east

in the direction of an area called Badiya.

which is the desert area in central Syria stretching out eastwards towards the Iraqi border.

And mom is quite pregnant, is she not?

Yeah,

mom gave delivery during this captivity in this past week.

She was pregnant with their fifth child.

So, what is the is we able to do anything to help these people?

Is there a yeah, yes, we're we're in touch with

the local community in Sweda, and we already have our assets working on the ground to try to pinpoint their

precise location.

The ISIS kidnappers

are trying to pawn off or at least get rid of some of the hostages by trading them for some of their fighters with the Assad regime.

And we're in the process of also doing our due diligence to try to figure out where they're being kept so we can find a way to retrieve them or bring them back.

Rudy, when we first started the Nazarene Fund, you weren't with us yet.

And

we were just, I mean, we were just rookies.

We didn't know what we were doing.

And we figured, I think it was, wasn't it $20,000 for a family of four or twenty thousand dollars per person, something like that, to be able to get them out, to rescue them, et cetera, et cetera.

Now, in the few years that we've been doing this, and since you've joined us here,

what, a year ago or so,

you've got that number down to what?

Yeah, I brought it down to $67 per person.

And I joined you two years ago.

So as it was being developed, I began helping you.

And now that we're moving, now that we're moving large groups of people, we've got it down to $67 a person.

$67

per person.

So as we're talking about going and rescuing slaves, we're talking $67

per person.

It kind of puts it into

the Schindler's list, that last scene.

How much was this ring?

Why did I keep this ring?

$67.

That's remarkable.

And Rudy, you are 100% responsible for that.

And I can't thank you enough for that.

Can you tell me

the good news about Martine?

Yes, Martine is a great story.

I mean, at least now it's a great story.

The tragedy began four years ago in 2014.

Her and her family, she's a Yazidi.

Her and her family come from the Sinjar area.

And if anybody wants to read the story, they can go on the Nazarene,

the Nazarenefund.org and read about the details of the story on our blog site.

We just posted it.

She was abducted when she was, she was kidnapped when she was eight

when ISIS fighters came in to basically take sex slaves for themselves from

the Sinjar province area.

So she was moved around inside of Syria, multiple locations, and when she turned nine, her captors,

you know, using ISIS logic, logic, that the prophets, one of the prophets' wives was nine years old.

Therefore, when Martine turned nine, she was of legal age to be raped.

And she was raped, in some cases, twice a day, every day,

for the remainder of her time in captivity.

And she was beaten, tortured,

essentially an indentured slave.

And now that she's 12, about a month ago,

she was rescued, and we took custody her and her father and brought them to a safe location

inside Iraq where we maintain

an eye on her.

We've got her going through medical treatment, and we have worked closely with the Australian government to get her and her father safely and securely moved to Australia

after we find one of her sisters that we are in the current negotiations for with the second in command of the ISIS organization in Iglib, Syria.

When you say negotiations, we don't pay for these people.

We're not giving money to these people.

No,

my military background and my

will not ever allow me to pay a terrorist.

I refuse to do that.

The second in command, he's an ISIS prince, has asked for $75,000 for her release.

We negotiated that price down to $45,000, although we're not going to give him a penny of that money.

We are working on a strategy to

get her back.

I don't know.

Let's not go any further than that.

And how did her dad find her?

So going back to Martine, what happened is she was moved around quite a bit when U.S.

and coalition forces began

strikes on Raqqa and

ISIS was under pressure.

Martin was moved from family to family, eventually ending up with an ISIS member who had multiple wives.

And one of the wives took a liking to Martin,

seeing what she had gone through for

four years.

And so she reached out to

somebody in one of the open markets, a Kurdish woman, who was a trafficker,

and told the Martine story.

Meanwhile, some ISIS fighters

came in asking for Martine so they can sell her back to her father.

And Martine said she wasn't Yazidi because she knew her father didn't have the money to sell her.

So the woman that took a liking to her reached out to a Kurdish woman, and that Kurdish woman had some contacts.

They took a picture of Martine, and then eventually it percolated to her dad.

And once he found out, he was beside himself.

I bet.

And then we worked on that to get to get them back together.

All right.

Rudy,

my prayers, my family's prayers are with you.

And is there anything that you need?

Well, we need, in addition to prayers,

we are working right now very heavily on trying to shut down four organ harvesting farms in northern Syria.

So we need all the resources we can to do so.

You know, we've opened up a front in Burma.

We're opening up a few fronts in Africa where slave trade and sex slavery is ongoing.

So,

and, you know, this year alone, we're going to be on track to move 14,000 people out of Syria, Iraq to Australia.

So

it's remarkable.

Rudy, I thank you.

Thank you so much for everything.

Thank you so much.

I cannot express to you in strong enough terms,

I mean, I think we're on track this year to move 14,000 people.

Those are Christians and Yazidis that are going to be killed or enslaved by

ISIS or some arm of Islam.

14,000.

State Department's not doing this.

14,000 this year alone.

I know of a couple of things that are happening right now that are just

incredible.

And someday a film will be made about this.

But it is heroicism, unlike you can imagine.

$67 or $62 or $67 per person, per person.

And we are stretching our budget as far as we can, and we really need your help.

If you would like to help us, even $5 a month, just make a renewing gift, $5 a month, $10 a month, whatever you can do, please become an abolitionist.

The global reserve currency.

I know

I know it's crazy.

So I have
