8/14/17 - Call ALL evil by its name

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Here's what you need to know to start your day.

Violence erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend when white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters.

One of the white nationalists, a National Socialist, otherwise known as a Nazi, slammed his car into the crowd of protesters, killing one person and seriously injuring several others.

So here's what's being said in the media.

The left immediately was quick to blame Donald Trump for all of it.

The right is quick to say, hey, well, it's Anifa, Anifa, Anifa.

Okay.

I've got a different opinion, but let me start with this one.

Donald Trump is not to blame here.

The one to blame is the sick, demented racist who drove his car into a crowd of people.

Period.

Those people who are saying, this is the right, finally fighting back, you're part of the problem.

Well, you should blame the people who are just trying to change our history by pulling down statues of Robert E.

Lee.

You're part of the problem.

This is about the black race under attack.

This about the white race under attack.

This is what I want you to hear.

The only race we should be worried about today is the human race.

Because it seems to me it is on some of its last legs.

If your media source isn't telling you that, it's maybe perhaps time you find a new one.

We begin right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn

Beck audio program

Today, there are two radical fringe groups waking up and thinking that their cause has gained something they didn't have a week ago, and that is legitimacy.

In responding the way he did to Charlottesville, the president was both right and wrong.

We condemn in the strongest possible terms

This egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides.

On many sides.

It's been going on for a long time in our country.

Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama.

This has been going on for a long, long time.

It has no place in America.

What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.

No citizen should ever fear for their safety

and security in our society, and no child should ever be afraid to go outside

and play

or be with their parents.

I don't even understand the last part, but

here's where this went wrong.

After a year of rightfully calling out the left for refusing to say radical Islamic terror,

why would the president not say white supremacist racists, white supremacist national socialists?

We are either a nation that opposes evil in its whole, in its entirety, or we are nothing.

You can't tell me that you worry about the country if you really only truly have empathy for your side,

if you only see the problem

on the other side.

I was taught something very, very valuable

that has played a big role in my life beyond charity.

It was taught by John Huntsman Sr.

He's a dear man

who has

done more to cure cancer and really change the world than most people will do in 10 lifetimes

for all the Hindus.

Here's what he taught me.

As I was standing in

his hospital,

where he was asking my wife and I for a donation,

I said, John, I'll make you a deal.

I will give to your hospital.

But in exchange, I need you to teach me how to be charitable.

I grew up in a poor family, and we didn't have any money.

And I want to be a responsible steward, and

I need to know how to navigate the waters of charity.

He shook my hand.

He said, that's a deal I'm happy to make.

And he told me,

here's your first lesson.

You have to care about all of it.

The entire human condition.

You can't just care about cancer.

You can't just care about heart disease, gay rights, whatever it is.

You have to care about all of it.

That's what we're missing here.

We all seem to only care about our little slice of the pie.

We're never going to heal.

We'll never come back together if we don't

have malice toward none and charity toward all.

This morning there were Nazis bragging that they weren't mentioned by the President.

They're bragging about how they are now being grouped alongside the entire political right in this country.

And they're feeling legitimized.

And they're planning their next moves.

Richard Spencer is already planning his next mega rally in Texas, and I will be there quietly to stand against.

I saw two groups this weekend.

While one group displayed the Nazi flag and spewed hate and violence, the other group displayed Soviet and communist flags spewing hate and violence.

Just like the Nazis, who I remind you are national socialists,

Antifa, the anti-fascist group, and the rest of the radical left are waking up today feeling we are legitimate.

Because where is the outcry from the left?

This didn't just begin in Charlottesville.

This didn't begin with Donald Trump.

It didn't begin with Barack Obama.

This is...

This is what left the pockmarks that are still on the walls of banks on Wall Street.

This is a fascistic movement on the left and the right.

And it's just gaining steam again.

It's been going on almost weekly on college campuses since the election.

Watch the videos from Berkeley.

Compare those videos to this weekend in Virginia.

There is absolutely no difference.

difference.

None.

And through it all, not a peep from the left.

This has been a giant failure of biblical proportions by the people we have chosen to lead us.

If there was ever a time you could actually get Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Paul Ryan, and Nancy Pelosi on the steps together, shoulder to shoulder, standing united, this was it.

A Nazi committed an ISIS-style terror attack.

A communist paramilitary group was rampaging through the streets.

We have

been against Nazis since 1941.

I think there's a t-shirt.

The United States of America against National Socialists since 1941.

This was the moment to unite in defiance of evil.

This was the time for the leadership to come together and show us and the world what we stand for, what our principles are, what we believe in.

But once again,

our elected officials have failed us.

I wasn't surprised.

We're in a really dangerous time.

For some unfathomable reason, both the right and the left are willing to let these

3%, 1%.

This would be crazy.

10, 12%

of our population, these fringes, these crazy edges of our society, co-opt into their movement.

And how are they doing it?

Well, what about?

Well, yeah, but what about?

Yeah, yeah, but what about?

I am so sick of whataboutism.

Has the left

screwed up the past decade?

You bet they have.

Has the right?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Has the left done everything they could to

get rid of the crazy people amongst them?

No, they haven't.

But has the right done absolutely everything it could to cast out these racist Nazis?

Not even close.

Coming up later on the program, I'm going to remind you what a Nazi is,

not the, you know, the marching and the salutes and all of that.

None of that, because you know that.

Not the gas chambers.

We got that.

What is a Nazi?

What is it that they believe?

And once you know that, why won't the right

excoriate

and make sure they are standing

nowhere nowhere near

their movement has nothing to do with American constitutional conservatives.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Likewise, Antifa, the radical left?

Let me put it this way.

What would the Democratic Party of John F.

Kennedy have to say about those guys?

His entire family,

including, I think, his crazy, evil dad, would be shouting from the rooftops, These people do not belong to us.

But we don't have anything from either side.

Hate and violence is ripping apart American cities, ripping apart American campuses, putting a boot on the throat of free speech all over the United States.

And those we have elected to

represent us are using it to posture.

For those of you who listen to me

and have been with me at restoring honor or restoring love,

who were with me in Birmingham, Alabama, these are the times now

that I told you would come

when the world is being turned inside out and upside down.

That you needed your credibility, that you needed to know that

you were going to be pushed up against the wall and you were going to be angry,

but you needed to know exactly who you are.

The only thing that you really need to do as a start

is simple,

but it will make you a targeted person, and that is call evil by its name.

Radical Islamic terrorism is evil, and we are against it in all of its forms.

White supremacist, neo-Nazi, national socialist, populist, terrorists,

We are against them in every way.

Antifa, communist, terrorist.

We stand against them in every way.

They are evil.

There has to be a concerted effort to delegitimize these fringe groups because that's what they are.

And calling a spade a spade, calling evil evil is the best place to start.

The most ridiculous thing about all of this is how the left and the right have have become so tribalized

that we can't even find our way to each other

in the face

of evil

that we all

have recognized in the recent past and are clearly on record since 1941.

I don't don't have to ask what's happened to us.

I know what's happened to us.

The question is,

what are we going to do about it?

And staying in this tribal fight

is only going to cause more chaos.

And now this.

It is

time maybe to surprise that special someone in your life.

Why?

Because you can.

So, were you guys

did anybody just

watch Twitter Saturday

and just see the comments that were coming out from famous people and leadership and everything and just thinking, has the world gone mad?

Was anybody else thinking that this weekend when you were watching responses?

Well, yes.

Although if you look at Twitter, I think you think that every weekend.

It's a frequent thought.

Yeah, but this one was so easy.

This is, we're talking national socialists.

We're talking

Nazis.

I mean, to go back to the very foundation of this, I have a massive problem with the national socialists being assigned to the right.

I mean, that is not an American right-wing position.

And it's pointed as like, even with the on-both sides issue, it's like, well, there's violence in the left, and today we saw it on the right.

No, no, that's got nothing to do with me.

You know, a government that wants to control every aspect of your life has nothing to do with my position on anything.

A government that wants to make certain people move from one area of the country to another so they can live

with their own race has literally no connection to the American right.

How that is allowed to stand

when the Nazis of Germany voted in lockstep with the communists because of Germany.

Because

here's where the conservatives have

gone wrong.

Conservatives are saying, I'm just trying to preserve history.

And that's where I'm seeing a lot of conservatives say, you know, take down the statue of Robert E.

Lee.

You know what, gang?

Can we stop the lie about the Civil War?

And I know this is going to make a lot of people in this country mad.

It's a lie.

You've been taught a lie.

If you don't believe me, go read the Confederate Constitution.

It wasn't about states' rights.

You could not be a member of the Confederate States if you didn't want the expansion of

slavery into new Confederate states, or if you wanted to abolish it in your state.

You had to be about slavery.

It's in the Confederate Constitution.

Everything else is a lie.

That's what that war was about.

Slavery, period.

Now,

I know that makes a lot of people mad because they think that it's part of heritage it is

but it's bad heritage

back in a minute

you're listening to the Glenn Beck program

Mercury

The Glen Beck Program

So we have to have a reasonable and logical discussion about history.

You know me when it comes to history.

I do not want history erased.

I collect the things

because I think they're really important, the bad parts of our American history for a reason.

Because

if you don't know both sides,

then

you cannot make a credible case.

If somebody is doing the raw, raw, America is great, we've never made a mistake, well,

you have no credibility as soon as somebody walks into a room and has any evidence of any of the really bad things that, yes, we have done as a nation.

But the same can be said if you walk into a room and it's Van Jones telling us how evil America is.

And I can walk into that room and say, oh, Van, sit down.

He's such a rookie.

Look at, here's how, let me tell you how bad we've been.

Oh, and let me show you the documentation.

Oh, let me show you

the actual pieces used

in us being really, really bad.

Who has credibility now with the audience?

Van Jones or me?

He's talking about it.

I'm showing you.

Oh, yeah, no, he doesn't even know.

He's not even going deep enough.

I have the credibility.

But then, as long as I can take that and show you the documents and show you the truth on the other side,

you win.

If it's true.

Because you can say, I want you to go do your own homework.

Now, here's the problem.

Anybody who is saying, well, you can't take these statues down,

do you believe

that it be right, rational, and normal to have a statue of Rommel

in Berlin over the last 50 years?

Do you think that's right and normal?

That soon as the Nazis lost, you erect a statue of Rommel.

Now, I can make a case that you should.

At the end,

he wanted Hitler dead, wanted to kill Hitler, thought Hitler was insane, tried to get people to kill Hitler and overthrow Hitler, and that's why Hitler had him killed at the very end.

But Rommel only wanted that to happen because he thought Hitler was insane.

He thought Hitler wasn't making the right decisions.

He was not a good Nazi.

But he didn't have a real problem with a lot of the things that Adolf Hitler was doing.

So

do we elect, if we were German, do we elect to put a statue of Rommel

up there?

Okay.

A man who, under the statue, the man who lost his life trying to stop Hitler.

Okay, you can make the case that we're showing that here's a guy who is within the ranks, but he's not the best example, and that's not exactly true the way it happened because it was only at the very, very end.

But okay, you have that statue up there, maybe.

The reason why you don't put that there is because Rommel may have been an honorable man until he fought for the Nazis.

A man of that caliber should not have been fighting for the Nazis.

William Bedford Forrest, do you know who he is?

If you talk to anybody in the South, he was the greatest general in American history.

Yeah, he was.

He was a very good general.

Very good general.

And he fought for the Confederacy.

He was fighting for states' rights.

No, he actually wasn't.

William Bedford Forrest has a very famous sword where people from the South, when they see it, they will weep over this sword because he is such a great hero

well the problem is with that sword while he was a general he would take blacks and he would fillet them

and then he would take their skin like a pelt and have it nailed to barns as a warning Oh, and he didn't just do it to black people.

He did it to all white people who were helping the black people as well.

So

when his troops marched into town, they made sure that they let everybody know, here's what happens to blacks who try to escape, and here's what happens to whites who want to help them or on the side of the Union Army.

Do we have statues to William Bedford Forrest?

Yes, he was one of the greatest generals.

Yes, and while he was a general, he was filleting white people and black people.

Was he fighting for states' rights?

Yes, he was.

Was he an intelligent person?

You bet he was.

So then I'm sure he, as an intelligent person, before he decided to become a traitor to the United States of America, he decided to do that what?

Without any information?

Or do you suppose he actually read the Constitution

of the Confederacy?

Have you read it?

Because I have.

I went to the Museum of the Confederacy.

I think it's in Richmond, Virginia.

And it's this great museum, great museum.

And I happened to be looking for a Constitution, a copy of the Confederate Constitution.

I was in the gift shop, and I'm just looking for one of those, you know,

fake parchment paper constitution things.

And I couldn't find one.

Well, I work with a bunch of overachievers.

And so one of my overachiever staff who happened to be with me, went and found the head of the museum and said, Hey, Mr.

Beck is looking for a copy of the Constitution.

So, next thing I know, I'm in the gift shop getting ready to leave, and I can't find it.

And

my guy says, Glenn, I want you to meet so-and-so, the head of the museum.

And I'm like, Oh, hi.

And he said, I hear you're looking for the copy of the Constitution.

I said, Yes.

And he said, Why don't you come with me?

So we go upstairs and we go into the vault, and he takes out the Constitution,

the real one, the one on lambskin, vellum.

I mean, any original one?

The original one.

And he rolls it out on the table.

And he's like, what are you looking for exactly?

And I'm like, well, first of all, I was looking for a cheap copy for like a dollar and a half.

And he's like,

I'm like,

and he's like, no, go ahead and look and take your time with it.

And I said, do you want me to wear gloves?

Can I wash my hands?

I mean, you really should not.

I mean, I'm just, I'm a schlub here.

I read it.

Can we point one part out that everyone seems to forget about this states' rights fight?

You may be talking about Article 4, Section 2 and 3.

The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the citizens in the several states.

and shall have the right of

transit and sojourn in any state of this Confederacy with their slaves and other property, and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.

Then,

in

Section 3,

in all such territory, the institution of Negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress and by the territorial government, and the inhabitants of the several Confederate states and territories shall have the right to take such territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any states or territories of the Confederate states.

So not only did it mandate that you must be a slave state to be in the Confederacy, but in the future, all of the future Confederate states would also have to be slave states.

Yeah, in fact, they went a step further.

You know,

they knew that slavery was a diminishing market around the world by this time.

That's why they wanted to conquer Cuba and Central and South America.

Thank you very much, Pat.

Thank you for knowing that.

You're exactly right.

They were going to expand it beyond our borders and go into Latin America.

So we would have had a brand new

mark of the beast on America.

So

I'm sorry.

General Lee was a great guy.

Sure, he was wonderful and a great general.

He chose to fight for slavery.

Period.

Now, maybe your ancestors didn't.

Maybe your ancestors didn't read the Constitution.

But the people who are statues today, they all read that Constitution.

They knew they were not fighting for states' rights.

They were fighting to not only keep, but expand slavery.

That's evil.

It should be called evil.

Period.

The place to learn about these guys

is in

museums.

It's in context.

It's like we can learn about Rommel.

Rommel was a great guy.

Rommel made huge mistakes by standing with the Nazis.

And by the time he wanted to get out, it was too late.

Should we learn about the whole man, Rommel?

Yes, we should.

Should there be statues of Rommel?

No.

How about Lenin?

Seattle has a statue of Lenin.

Well, that's great, Seattle.

Why?

Well, because he was for the people.

He also slaughtered people en masse.

We have to stop making heroes out of killers.

Stone cold, knowing exactly what they're doing, killers.

We can learn about them in history books and we can learn about them in museums.

And Seattle, you want to have a museum that's all about Lenin and it talks about all the great things Lenin did?

Well, that's your deal on your own private property.

I guess you can do that.

But I'm going to make sure that everybody that goes to your museum, I'll do my best to have a museum that tells the truth about the lies in your museum.

I'm not going to silence you.

Truth is very powerful.

All you have to do is put people on the track of it.

Show them how to find the truth.

Here's what I want you to do.

I want you to look up the Constitution of the Confederate States.

I want you to read that.

I want you to look about the expansion of slavery into Latin America by

the Confederate states.

What were their plans?

And then come back and try to make the case that it was about states' rights.

It's not.

Because in their own Constitution, the state did not have the right to say no to slavery.

And now this, our sponsor, my Patriot Supply.

On Friday, the president tweeted, military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded.

Should North Korea act unwisely, hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path.

I am still holding out hope that what the president is doing is what

Ronald Reagan did.

in the 1980s.

There is a chance, and I don't want to undercut him

and

say that tough rhetoric

is

dangerous in and of itself.

We have to be careful because you don't want to ever say things that you don't back up because then you are a paper tiger.

But Ronald Reagan called evil by its name, and I think that's a positive thing.

What's happening in North Korea is indeed evil.

My friends tell me they're convinced we're going to war, my military friends.

I hope to God they are wrong or that all the estimates of how something like that works out is wrong.

But I don't know.

You don't need to be worried about these things.

You need to be prepared for these things.

I'd like you to call MyPatriot Supply at 800-200-7163.

Right now, they're offering 102 servings, a survival food kit, for $99.

That's 102 servings.

So that's breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything less than $1 per serving.

You have, you know, three, four kids.

You know, you got your family together.

This is a

good kit to have that will last you a few days should there be a snowstorm next year and you can't get out of the house for a couple of days.

Or, God forbid, something is disrupted because of international turmoil.

Whatever it is, be prepared and take the stress off your life.

The Glen Beck Program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So here's...

Here's the real problem.

We're only talking now about taking down the statues of, you know, William Bedford Forrest or Robert E.

Lee.

Well, we're going to take down all the statues of Robert E.

Lee.

How about we use them as an example?

How about there's a plaque that adds the real history to Robert E.

Lee?

We can do that.

There are some people that should come down.

William Bedford Forrest is one of them.

Evil, evil man.

But there are people like Robert E.

Lee who I compare to Rommel, a good guy, just fought for the wrong side.

Now,

here's the problem.

We are talking about going into history and correcting it, which is fine, should be done.

But then what do we do?

Do we lead that campaign from our

local Woodrow Wilson Elementary School?

Or do we go to the Princeton

Woodrow Wilson

study of government?

What is it called?

Administrative studies or whatever that is, that building up there.

Do we leave that alone?

I mean,

some of the people who are saying that these statues need to come down are the same that will defend Margaret Sanger

and Planned Parenthood.

You want to correct history, you have to correct all of it.

Is that going to happen?

No, because the Antifa movement isn't as bad as the Nazis.

Communists aren't as bad as Nazis.

Yes, they are.

If we can be honest, we can correct this.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury,

America, we are

in an interesting place.

The Chinese always say,

May you live in interesting times.

Well, we are truly living in interesting times.

We can't seem to condemn evil,

and we're arguing about the wrong things.

We're arguing now or people

are finding a way to make a story about a Nazi

killing someone this weekend

all about

statues.

It's not about statues.

It's about

people.

Life, I have found is actually pretty simple.

It's the people

that are complex.

So let's try to break things down and make it a little more simple to understand.

And we do that right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

The world, the mainstream media,

Antifa, even the alt-right organizers would all have you believe what transpired over the weekend was just the most recent battle in an endless war of

Americans between conservatives and liberals.

This

is a lie and anyone who won't point that out to you

stop listening to them.

The country doesn't need more opinion.

It really doesn't.

It needs more facts.

Find those people who will tell you the facts.

And I will back this up

this half hour.

hour.

But

let me tell you about a couple of people.

Heather Hare.

She's 32 years old.

A very passionate person is what her mother told ABC News over the weekend.

She had strong beliefs.

Even as a small child, she was fierce about defending.

her beliefs.

She died on Saturday afternoon while defending her belief in a senseless act of violence that sent 19 to the hospital, broken and bloodied, and her to the grave.

Her mother said, Heather's life wasn't about hate.

And this young man, the killer, James Alex Fields Jr.,

this young man who ran my daughter down mistakenly believed that hate would change the world.

Hate doesn't.

Hate harms people.

And I don't want any more death brought about by my daughter's death, she said.

I want peace.

I want the peace that she would want.

I want change.

Amen.

I don't believe there is somebody within the sound of my voice that when all is said and done,

if they can find a quiet moment in their life

and let go of the rage that builds in all of us, it's natural.

The world is being turned inside out and upside down on purpose.

It's natural that you feel this.

But in a moment of silence, if I could promise you

more of this

and revenge

or

this will stop and we can live side by side.

I believe everyone within the sound of my voice would pick the second.

So James Alex Field,

he's a 20-year-old boy from Kentucky.

who until five or six months ago had been living with his mom in Ohio.

Now his mom learned about the incident for the first time during an interview with the Associated Press.

She was home watching her son's cat at the time

when he decided to ram his car into a crowd of people on Saturday.

She sounded like a lost child herself.

The boy, and I do mean boy,

that left Ohio for Charlottesville last week will never be coming home again.

She told the AP she stays out of his political views.

She said,

Well, I want you to listen to this.

Listen to exactly what she said and tell me if it isn't really clear.

She has no kind, she had no idea what kind of poison her son was drinking.

I try to stay out of his political views.

He, you know, we don't,

you know, I don't really get too involved.

I moved him out to to his own apartment.

So we, I'm watching his cat.

I mean...

The human part needs great.

Like I said, I don't really talk to him about his, you know, political views.

I mean, he just,

so I don't really understand or what the rally was about or anything.

So

okay, she went on to say that he was involved in the all-bright movement.

She didn't even know that it was the alt-right movement, not the alt-bright movement.

Parents, don't let this happen to you.

We need to know what's happening with our kids, and you need to understand that the world has changed overnight.

We need now more than ever to talk to our kids.

We need to know and

make sure the best we can

the kinds of ideas that they're allowing to take root in their minds.

The stories that we tell ourselves are really the only stories that matter.

Because sooner or later, we end up acting those stories out.

Better or worse.

You tell yourself you're a miserable human being.

And I promise you, you first will be a miserable human being.

And then it will grow.

And you're a miserable human being that has no reason to live.

And you will act on that.

right now we are all acting on the stories that we believe about ourselves and about others

today I just want to talk to you about the story the alt-right is telling you

it is poisonous

it is white nationalism white supremacy.

It is national socialism.

It is garbage, and it is poisonous.

White identity politics this past weekend was deadly, and it will only grow.

Have we not learned our lesson?

Will all of our treasure

and every

drop of blood drawn by the lash

be spilled out again?

I thought we fought a civil war over this.

Enough is enough.

We got to get back to Sunday school,

to real principles, back to the basics, back to the gods of the copybook headings that fire will burn and water will wet us.

We were all of us created in the image of God.

Black, white, brown, yellow, red, all of us.

All of us, and we are all needed.

And there's nothing,

there is nothing that separates us except our mindset.

We are all children of God.

We all,

generally speaking, want peace.

Want to live with people leaving us alone

to raise our children.

We have to begin to honor that piece of divinity in ourselves and then in each other.

Stop embarrassing and debasing yourself and your family

by being sucked in and buying or excusing the lie that one's race is somehow more meaningful

than just a color.

The only race

we need to claim is the human race.

Because it's not the white race that is on the verge of extinction or the black race.

It truly is the human race.

And this time,

we are forging our own chains.

We are

coming up on the seventh anniversary of the Restoring Honor event in Washington, D.C., seven years.

Doesn't seem like a million years ago.

It sure does.

I mean, seven years doesn't seem long enough.

And, you know, the fights to expose the Muslim Brotherhood, those seem like the quaint, you know, good old days with everything that's going on.

Here's the one thing that

I'm not seeing anywhere in the news, and I want you to be able to teach this to your kids today.

Because the mainstream media, Antifa, the alt-right organizers, they're all going to have you believe that this is just the battle between conservatives and liberals.

This is just the ongoing battle.

And,

you know, we're tired of, as conservatives, we're tired of those liberals trying to change history.

No, both sides are being used.

Both sides are being used.

Hashtag resurrect National Socialism

is what the hashtag should have been for this peaceful protest, not hashtag unite the right.

You are being used, you're being played, and no one has the balls to tell you.

Remember, Nazism, neo-Nazism,

is a form of right-wing collectivism,

right-wing progressivism.

It has more in common philosophically to left-wing collectivism, Marxism, utopian socialism, than it has anything to do with conservative principles.

The enemy of progressivism, the enemy of collectivism, regardless if it comes from the left or the right, is liberal capitalism,

which is why

I have been trying so hard to unite people who

still have reason

because the enemy of Antifa and the enemy of the white supremacist Nazis

are those people who believe in a free market system that believe in

classical liberalism

whenever violence originates from the collectivist left, Antifa,

certain factions of BLM, or the collectivist right, white nationalists, national socialists, the lovers of liberty, the lovers of classical liberalism, the lovers of the Constitution

should have zero issue standing together to denounce these senseless attacks.

They are inspired by stupid, failed ideologies.

Period.

What stops us from doing it

is whataboutism.

Yeah, they're wrong.

But

what about trying to change our history?

You know who you sound like?

You sound an awful lot like

the Muslims that don't stand up against Islamic terror.

I disagree with their tactics, but

no.

No.

We have wanted from them a full-throated

distancing and excoriation of those views.

No, it's not that I just disagree with their tactics.

I disagree with their philosophy.

If I'm a Muslim,

radical Islamists have nothing to do with me because they want a state-controlled

Islamic rule.

They want the state to be controlled by Allah and the mullahs.

So

it's not that I see their point of what's going on in the Middle East.

I don't see their point.

Because their objective is different.

But people get roped into it because they're very good at saying, Yeah, well, we're only doing this because we're oppressed.

And that is, after all, the buzzword of this generation.

Everybody's oppressed.

In fact, you may be so oppressed, you don't even know you're oppressed.

But once I get you into a college class to show you the oppression that you're under, you're not only the oppressed, you've been so oppressed by the oppressor that you don't know you're oppressed, and they also don't know that

I hate to break it to you,

you're the oppressor as well.

All this gobbledygook is making us forget the truth.

The far right and the far left want the state to make all of the decisions.

They want the state to control how your money is spent, what you say, what you do, how you act, who you marry.

Whether that's you're not marrying a gay person

or you are marrying a gay person

to you're not marrying a person of another color

they all want to control who you love how you act what you do

how much money because they're all about collectivism

National

Socialists,

that's the actual name of the party for the Nazis.

National Socialists.

Nationalism, Populism, Socialism.

Evil.

International Communism.

Evil.

Why?

Because they both will force their viewpoint on the population through democracy or revolution.

They prefer a democratic revolution.

They prefer that that revolution happens at the ballot box.

But you can't get 100% of any society to agree with you.

And so they'll continue to demonize those who are standing against this great national socialist movement or this great

socialist movement, whatever it is, either direction.

It's all about control.

And so they have to continue to divide, pit against, and eventually shove or shoot the other side.

I believe it was on Friday we had Russell Cruzen on.

His son is Bubby.

Bubby is a newborn, less than a year old, who has been diagnosed with the same disease

that,

oh, shoot, now I've forgotten his name, Charlie Gard had over in England.

When we first had him on, we just talked about, you know, how the family is and everything was going fine.

Insurance was fine.

Last week, we found out that their insurance company is not going to cover

a doctor's appointment or allow them to go out of state because you've got a geneticist.

Well, no, the geneticist in the state says,

I'm not an expert in this.

There's one guy that is an expert and the baby needs to see an expert.

This isn't like, you know, this can't be solved at a dock in the box.

We need a specialist on this.

So we found out that they were trying to get an appointment.

By the end of the day, I think the

fundraiser that we started in the morning was up to $40,000.

And

we were also looking for information about the insurance company on what the insurance company was going to do, whether they would reconsider.

I got this note.

Glenn, Thursday after we got off the phone,

Priority Health called me and said that it was indeed denied their case,

but I needed to file an appeal as fast as possible.

He then said that their Facebook was blowing up with all kinds of comments.

I tried to file the appeal, but the email server was down, perhaps from all of the emails and comments from your awesome supporters.

They then called me this morning, I think this was Friday, and said, don't worry about the appeal right now.

The medical director is now handling our case and is going to talk to our

geneticist, and they're trying to see if they can get this approval done for us.

Thanks so much for all of the help from your listeners.

We'd be lost without you guys.

Russell, welcome to the program.

Hey, how's it going?

Good.

What a roller coaster this is.

Okay, so tell us what has happened.

So

I really want to provide a free commercial for Priority Health,

you know, and let people call in like you who

have had

problems where they've solved it.

Are they going to solve this problem, do you think?

I'm really hoping they do.

It sounds like after Thursday, it sounds like they started backpedaling a lot.

Okay.

They're like, I mean, all the negativity that they were getting and everything.

They did tell me come Wednesday they have an answer for me.

And they did talk to our geneticist and the one we're trying to go see.

Great.

Well, here's what we'd like to do.

And you can

offer this.

You know, when they decide that they are going to, you know, show the, you know, cover Bubby and make sure that he can go to a geneticist and the insurance company recognizes that, of course, that.

you know, they don't know more than the actual experts in the field, that they're there to cover and write checks, not to make diagnosis

or healthcare calls.

I'd love to have their representative on to be able to give them the accolades and point out that this is an insurance company that

has a heart and is doing that.

And if they choose not to cover,

they said by Wednesday, let's stay in touch.

When they come back, if they choose not to cover, I'd also like to give them free advertisement.

We'll pick a day.

And I just want to hear from just those people who have filed

for things and then had priority, what is it, Priority Health?

Yeah.

They've had Priority Health

turn them down,

but then correct, I'm sure they, I'm sure there's tons of stories where they filed and it was, everything went fine.

It was all corrected.

So whatever your story is with Priority Health, I'm going to give you an opportunity to have a nationwide audience and will dedicate the entire show to Priority Health to

show,

have the listeners and the people who actually have Priority Health explain what a wonderful healthcare company and provider this provider is.

Everything else good?

Brussels?

Yeah, everything else is going great.

Good.

Do you have the appointment set?

Yes, we do.

August 24th, they have agreed to let us pay out of pocket, which will be easily done now with all the support that we got from everybody

for that show.

What is it up to now?

Do you know?

Almost $57,000.

$57,000.

Well, that's good.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

And

you just keep in touch with me.

And let's make sure that one way or another, everyone knows exactly how great Priority Health is.

Sounds good.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

If we just used our power for good as opposed to evil,

what we could accomplish.

That's what I tell myself looking here at priorityhealth.com.

Oh, you know what?

You can write to them

on their Facebook page.

They love it.

Well, you're optimistic, though, on the way they're going to handle this, right?

I am.

Well, who wouldn't be?

I mean, surely there can't be too many stories from Priority Health customers where things have gone bad, right?

There can't be, what,

I mean, nobody's perfect.

Maybe there's one or two, but I'm sure if we open up the phones on Thursday to find out more, you know, we only hear a couple of stories.

We probably won't find out.

If any, if any, they probably are a great company.

Maybe this is the only snafu.

Right.

But that's what I want to open it up.

I want to hear from all those people that have said that will tell us,

hey, I had this with Priority Health and everything was covered and we got it covered in time and there was no problems and they wrote the check and they're just the greatest company of all time.

That's exactly what I expect to hear.

That's exactly what I expect to hear too.

So we'll open that up for the

people who actually pay the probably very low premium and very low

deductible as well for priority health.

You know.

Anxious to advertise for them.

And to be clear, that's the only time we would only do that if

if we had an indication or a concern that this was of more frequent occurrence.

if they if they were able to handle this claim the way that they're supposed to i mean there's no we'd be happy to talk about that too i'd be happy to have the ceo on yeah and he could tell us about he could tell us about how they and thankfully sincerely thank them yeah for taking a a look at it because obviously mistakes happen right you know and that's why they have an appeals process right

exactly right exactly right wish it didn't take a huge radio show to either way it should be a fun day for them on earth it's going to be a fun day for them yeah yeah

one day perhaps one one way perhaps a little more fun than the other perhaps perhaps but we'll huh

if you say so okay all right

okay so let's take a look at uh let's take a look at uh a couple of things first of all marco rubio uh

They have issued a death order against Marco Rubio in Venezuela.

So he probably shouldn't travel to Venezuela as he is so inclined to do on a regular basis.

Yeah.

Well,

are they alleging that

that also applies to here?

Like, are they sending people after him?

And it's not just some death threat.

It's like one of the leading politicians in the country.

Yeah.

It's an order to have Senator, I'm quoting, an order to have Senator Rubio assassinated.

Although it also warned no specific information regarding an assassination plot against Rubio has been

gammered.

Oh, garnered.

I'm sorry.

My glasses.

I need to get stronger glasses.

Gammered.

I'm like, gammered?

What the hell is that?

I'm a dummy that gammered so far.

Garnered so far.

He has been, this lawmaker has been a vocal Rubio critic in Venezuelan media.

And it was also noted

he signed federal authorities

to um to look into this according to the memo uh he might has gone as far to contact unspecified mexican nationals in connection with a plan to harm rubio

that is bizarre that is uh that's weird

well the good thing is the good thing is we know where every mexican national is in this country

we do not have a problem with bad guys just coming across our border to do anything wrong.

And the son of the Venezuelan president, it's being reported, said he wanted to seize the White House with rifles if President Trump sends the U.S.

military to his nation.

Yeah, we did.

Yeah, we talked about that part of it, too, which is that Trump kept open the possibility of a military solution in Venezuela, which is not something we had previously discussed.

We should make the announcement that we're open to military solutions in every country in the world.

We're open

at any time.

we just may come in and kick your ass.

Seriously, just for the heck of it.

Don't we just take over the world?

Why don't we?

We are in such good health ourselves

that we need to show these stupid people around the world how easy it is.

You are a genius.

Right?

Well, I mean, Antarctica is just sitting down there completely unguarded.

We could take that like today.

Let's just go down there.

There's an entire continent that could be ours today.

There's like 12 scientists.

They'd have to be.

Yeah, but I think we can handle it.

Neutralized.

They'd have to be neutralized.

And those damn penguins, man, they look cute and everything.

They will peck your eyes out.

That's possibly true, especially if you're, because

they're much more agile underwater.

So if you go swimming, you have a real danger point there.

They castrate you and they walk around with your junk on their feet, all on the ice shelf.

They do.

That's a real thing?

That's their science.

Yeah, I think

weird, real thing.

Yeah, they'll carry them around like they're eggs.

Junk on the feet, that's science.

Junk on the feet.

That's science.

That's science.

You don't see that often on the National Geographic Channel, but

you don't.

No,

you get that here.

You get that here.

This is the place where we question everything.

It's only on Discovery XX.

And you should question even more.

Yeah.

No, you should definitely be questioning.

So anyway, Marco Rubio might be assassinated.

That was how we got there.

We started that break with Marco Rubio says assassination threat ended up with penguins with junk on their feet.

That's pretty much a rational.

Hang on.

There is something else that is

really kind of interesting.

The military has come out and said, we don't agree with President Trump and his

ban on

transgendered people.

Because we need all the help we can get when we invade every country on earth.

And so we're going to need the transgendered with us.

Right?

Right.

It does seem, the quote is the top members of the military are openly opposing it.

And, you know, I was under the impression that Trump got from them that it's not good for the military.

But if the top military people don't have a problem with it, do you?

No.

So here's the

only thing I worry about is when you get high up in the ranks,

you become a politician.

So are these top, I'd like to know who the top military is.

I would hope they're not playing politics here.

You would hope they're not.

As long as they're not playing politics, if the military says it's not a problem, what are we doing?

Yeah,

why would you try to force this on?

Right.

It's let the military do what the military does.

No social experiments there.

Let's train them to kill people.

And then when they come back, let's help them reintegrate back into society.

What do you say?

We do that?

That seems easy.

It seems like the ideal way to treat the military.

But

why would you do that?

So

there is an election for the U.S.

Senate.

Election Day is tomorrow, August 15th.

There will be a runoff if somebody doesn't get at least 50%.

Mo Brooks is a U.S.

Representative from Alabama.

He is trying to win the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

He has, what is it, a 97, 90-plus range on the Freedom Works scoreboard.

I mean, he is.

He also has one of our favorite moments on broadcast television.

We were looking at going, reverting into a depression at that point.

Everyone, the federal government.

I disagree that we were going into a depression, but go ahead.

Do you have a degree in economics?

Yes, ma'am.

I do.

Highest honors.

Okay, so.

I love that.

I just love that.

Such a great moment.

Oh,

know the answer to the question before you ask it, sweetie.

That's amazing.

I mean, just

win this election based just on a side.

I love that.

I just love that.

So, anyway, it's really nasty.

And here's what I

you've got a couple of people that are running against him in this um

you have uh uh judge roy moore and luther strange

uh who is in the seat currently and donald trump is coming in and uh

i think just kind of muddying things up because he's paying past bills

Who knows what happens tomorrow, but Mo Brooks, a really good guy.

We're going to introduce you to him and find out what he thinks about not only the race, the country, where we're headed as conservatives, especially after this weekend.

Hello, America.

Lots to talk about.

Of course, what happened with the white nationalists.

The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into this.

I don't know how much there is to investigate.

They're Nazis

and they killed somebody.

But

did the president go far enough?

Was his statement

also true?

What role do we play in this?

What is the future of a small government, constitutionally minded people?

Does that even exist?

Mo Brooks is a congressman who is running now for the Senate and the election is happening tomorrow.

He's a congressman from Alabama.

He's running for the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

And there is an interesting race going on and a battle inside this conservative movement.

The election is tomorrow.

Mo Brooks joins us right now.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

I will be my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome, Congressman Mo Brooks.

How are you, sir?

I'm doing great, Glenn.

How about yourself today?

Very good.

As you probably know, you have our favorite clip of anyone ever on MSNBC when you were trying to explain

the economic crisis we were in.

And this is what happened.

We were looking at going, reverting into a depression at that point.

Everyone, the federal government.

I disagree that we were going into a depression, but go ahead.

Do you have a degree in economics?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

Highest honors.

I love that.

Okay, so.

You can tell us, Mo.

That was satisfying, wasn't it?

That moment was just like, oh, yeah, that felt good.

Every now and then they pitch a softball.

So, Mo, tell us, first of all, your thoughts of what happened over the weekend weekend in Virginia.

Well,

you know, it's very disheartening that there are still people out there who judge other people based on inherent qualities that those people have no control over.

Skin pigmentation is not a basis for defining who we are.

Ethnicity is not a basis for defining who we are.

Sex is not a basis for...

defining who we are.

We should all be judged based on our conduct and how we interact with other people.

Unfortunately, there are still people in our society on both sides of the fence that look at skin pigmentation, sex, and ethnicity when those should not be factors of concern.

You reject outright white nationalism and the national socialist Nazi movement?

Well, I don't agree with socialism.

I don't agree with Nazis.

I don't agree with any group that says that your skin pigmentation alone makes you superior to another group.

That's silly.

I mean, skin pigmentation is skin pigmentation.

You know, I've got freckles.

Does that make me good or bad?

Because I've got freckles.

That's a form of skin pigmentation.

It's so absurd.

And so, yes, I agree.

I disagree.

I disagree with anybody, anybody who tries to define somebody else based on characteristics that they were born with.

That is not what defines a human being.

Now,

you

were

a congressman who in 2016 endorsed Ted Cruz.

I was his Alabama State Chairman, and I was one of his national spokesmen for his campaign, so yes.

Okay, so now here comes this opening

in the Senate, and you want to run for it.

You're a great conservative, small government guy.

And the president, a couple of weeks ago,

you were scheduled for an interview with us.

Last week, President Trump endorsed your opponent, Luther Strange.

Any idea why that happened?

It's baffling to me.

Luther Strange is a decades-long Washington, D.C.

lobbyist.

We all knew when President Trump declared that he was going to Washington, D.C.

to drain the swamp, the swamp was going to fight back.

And Luther Strange is the swamp's candidate.

So to me, there seems to be a conflict between draining the swamp and endorsing the swamp's candidate on the one hand.

And on the other hand, the president most recently

was rightfully so complaining about Mitch McConnell and the do-nothing Senate and the 60-vote rule that prevents us from passing our agenda.

And I agree with the president in that regard, yet he endorses the person who supports the 60-vote rule that kills President Trump's agenda over the next three and a half years.

So yes, I'm puzzled by it.

I don't know who gave President Trump this bad advice.

Probably Mitch McConnell.

I do know the is spread rather thin.

He's got a lot of different issues he's got to focus on.

But whoever it is that led him to endorse Luther Strange, led him astray.

If you go in, who do you caucus with?

Well, I'm a Republican, so I'm going to caucus with the Republicans in the United States Senate.

I do prefer a different leader.

Mitch McConnell may be a nice guy.

I really don't know him that well personally.

But his job is to get through the United States Senate repeal of Obamacare.

His job is to get through the United States Senate funding for the border wall and stronger border security measures.

His job is to get through the United States Senate tax reform.

His job is to do what must be done to get our deficit and debt under control.

And quite frankly, he has failed miserably on each of those different public policy issues.

So it's time to try somebody new, someone who perhaps can get the job done, someone more aggressive, more conservative, somebody who is able to persuade a majority of the United States Senate to do what our country needs doing.

Otherwise, it's going to be a wasted opportunity with us having the House, the Senate, and the White House.

I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime where they have more opportunity and a president who is providing total coverage for the Congress just to snowplow through stuff.

I don't get it either.

It's baffling to me.

It's puzzling to me.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reverse Obamacare, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try to get our deficit and debt under control before we suffer a debilitating insolvency and bankruptcy that will do great damage to a country that our ancestors took centuries to build.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to secure our southern border.

Just go down the list of things that you in 2009 and 2010 have focused on as you helped build up the Tea Party movement that gave us the House of Representatives in twenty ten, where we gained 63 seats, if my memory serves me correctly.

And this is our chance.

And to date, over seven months of President Trump's presidency, we have had zero, zero significant legislative achievements that pertain to the major issues that face our country, the issues that I just itemized.

And that's because the 60-vote rule in the United States Senate has empowered Chuck Schumer, the Democrats, to control our agenda.

And that's just craziness.

You've got a choice.

You can either support...

an archaic rule that was born in the early 1800s while there was still slavery, or you can go with America.

And I choose America.

We're talking to Congressman Mo Brooks, who is running tomorrow the election in Alabama, running for Jeff Sessions' Senate speech, or a Senate seat.

Let's talk a little bit about

North Korea.

What do you think is, where are we headed with this, Mo?

I believe that you're going to see a relationship between the United States and North Korea akin to what we saw with China under Mao Seitong and the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin and all his successors.

In my judgment, the mutually shared destruction doctrine will work to deter North Korea from ever launching a first strike at the United States of America because a first strike by North Korea against America results in a retaliatory nuclear strike by the United States that would turn North Korea into a sea of glass and every single North Korean leader would be dead.

The North Korean leadership acts crazy, but I tend to think they act crazy in order to achieve a smart purpose.

I don't believe that they want to commit suicide.

So Mutually Assured Destruction Doctrine ought to work with them to prevent a first strike from ever being launched by either party, just as it has worked with the United States and the Soviet Union, now Russia, and China over the decades.

However, to be on the safe side, we need to bolster our radar systems and our interceptor systems so we can shoot down any missiles that may come from North Korea.

Having said all that, we must not be distracted from the bigger threat.

The bigger threat is Iran.

Iran, mutually assured destruction doctrine, may not work because of their religious beliefs, where they believe that giving up their own life in the furtherance of Allah's will is worthwhile.

And

if Iran gets nuclear weapons with missile delivery systems that can knock out what Iran calls the little Satan, Israel, and knock out the United States of America, even if it means the total and complete annihilation of Iran, some of these Iranian leaders may do it as a matter of religious belief.

And so I would tend to focus a little bit more on Iran and the threat that they pose, given that Barack Obama has empowered Iran to get nuclear weapons and the delivery system sometime within the next 10 to 15 years.

So do you have any insight at all on why President Trump ran on I'm going to tear up that Iranian deal and then has now come out and said, no, no, no, we can't do that.

Do you have any insight, any in any feelings on that, Mo?

Well,

I am baffled again.

Once you make a campaign promise, I'm one of those who believes you ought to keep it.

And I do not understand why the president may have said one thing on this particular issue dealing with the Iran nuclear agreement while he was a candidate and not fulfilling

whatever his campaign promise may have been during the campaign.

That's akin to a repeal of Obamacare.

We promised the American people that we would repeal Obamacare, but apparently there are a lot of people in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives that

didn't really intend to keep that promise.

And the American people need to hold their feet to the fire to ensure that we deliver on the promise to repeal Obamacare.

You just can't go through the motions and say, well, I tried, I voted that way.

And the Senate, you have tremendous power to force things to happen.

And unfortunately, we don't have enough people in the United States Senate right now fighting hard to force that repeal of Obamacare.

Too much nice guy stuff going on instead of real fighters to achieve our goals.

Talking to U.S.

Congressman from Alabama, Mo Brooks, who is running for the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

That election happens tomorrow.

Mo, what happens to the

conservative movement or the Republican Party

should voices like yours be

brushed out and lost?

And voices like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, or even worse, the Steve Bannons of the world are held up?

I'm going to flip it a little bit and talk about what happens if we prevail.

If we get a principled conservative in the United States Senate, and as an aside, if anyone wants to help, please go to MoBrooksforsenate.com.

MoBrooksforsenate.com.

But if we're able to prevail, that is a huge message to the establishment, and they'll be shivering in their boots.

Okay?

This 60% rule that blocks us from repealing Obamacare, from funding the border wall, from dealing with deficits and debt, from getting rid of a lot of these giveaway programs that cause people to no longer respect the work ethic and that encourage the breakup of families and having kids out of wedlock because you get more money that way.

We can make huge strides if we win, if you elect Mo Brooks from the state of Alabama in this election, because it sends a message to Mitch McConnell that he better get on the ball and he better start working.

And this recess, this vacation that the Senate is on right now, they should get back to work and continue to confirm every single one of President Trump's nominees to various positions.

They need to get back to work on the repeal of Obamacare.

They also need to start thinking about new Senate leadership because it will be a debacle and an embarrassment for Mitch McConnell if, after spending five to ten million dollars in attack ads against Mo Brooks and against Judge Roy Moore, if their hand-picked establishment candidate Luther Strange does not win.

So we can send a huge positive message to the United States Senate and to Washington, D.C.

that it's time for a change.

We're not satisfied with the New Nothing Senate.

We're not satisfied with allowing Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to be obstructionists because we let them.

That's the message.

We have to win this race tomorrow.

Then that message gets to Washington, D.C., and they like keeping their jobs.

They might might start working better.

Mo Brooks for Senate, Mo M-O Brooksforsenate.com

is where you can go and get more information and help out and get to the polls.

If you're in Alabama, if you like what you heard,

those polls open tomorrow.

And if somebody doesn't get 50%, there will be a runoff.

MoBrooksforsenate.com.

Mo, thank you so much.

Best of luck to you.

And, sir, thank you for the years of good service in Congress.

And we hope to.

Thank you, Glenn, and thank you for all your help.

Thank you, sir.

Appreciate it.

Sponsor this half hour is Goldline.

I don't know if you've seen the price of Bitcoin lately.

Anyone seen that?

What's it up to today?

Yesterday it was up to $4,100.

It's a couple bucks now, anyway, right?

$4,302.

$4,302.

So it's gone up $200 in the last 24 hours.

$256 in the last 12 hours.

It's done fairly well recently.

What was it last week?

A week ago, it's up $946 in the last $200.

Okay, now last week.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

But that's going to, the good thing about it is it's going to last forever.

It's going to continue going up.

There's going to be no down.

There's no problems.

And the good news is it has intrinsic value.

I mean,

you can take that Bitcoin, you know,

from the cyber space.

You just take your hands and you're going to take it.

You take the ones and zeros.

And you've got to.

You just smear them all over your face.

It makes a great face cream.

It does.

it really does really here's the thing um i think bitcoin is now acting the way gold used to the the government has so suppressed the price of gold uh that they are trying to show if gold were acting like bitcoin is acting right now it would show and cause a lot a great deal of panic in the markets as it's supposed to

show something is really wrong.

But the governments around the world have done everything they can to suppress the price of gold.

Now, here's the good news.

Gold, in the end,

is still worth gold, the price of gold.

It's gold.

That one's hung around for a lot longer than Bitcoin, I'll tell you that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you don't keep it on several servers

in cyberspace.

You can actually hold this.

I mean, you think currency is bad.

Well, paper is only worth the money it's printed on.

Bitcoin's not printed on anything.

There's no actual mining of anything

um

i i i want you to please be aware of the financial trouble that we are still

encouraging to come our way because of the policies in washington dc

and then do your homework and find out if gold or silver is right for you here is one thing that nobody else bitcoin isn't you're not pointing up with what 4 300 a coin today

and uh and then saying okay but if it goes down, you're gonna guarantee it, right?

For $25,000, Goldline will guarantee that you won't lose any money in the price of your gold.

If it goes down, they will make it up for you.

How can they do that?

Because they know the price of gold is real.

You hold it in your hand, it is something tangible, and it is something real in a world that doesn't even understand or recognize reality anymore.

North Korea, the threats towards the U.S.

The president has come out and continued his statements.

I am really in this place, and I don't know which it's going to be.

I'm really in this place.

that Donald Trump on this issue is going to be remembered as Ronald Reagan

or possibly Neville Chamberlain, but nowhere in between.

He's going to be remembered as the guy who was brave enough to say the hard things that made them crack and buckle under, or he's going to be the guy who said some things and then we were just steamrolled.

Well, I mean, we're not going to be steamrolled, right?

I mean, it's just

a little bit of a,

I'd say any kind of nuclear launch is a steamrolling, even if it's one.

Yeah, we may win, but that doesn't, it doesn't feel like it.

It changes the world forever.

Yeah.

It changes the world forever.

I noticed you're spending a lot of time on this.

You haven't talked at all about the murder of Stacey Ruffin.

And, you know, it's one of these stories where you don't know who, like, they're trying to figure out who's to blame.

Is it the fiancé?

Is it the boyfriend?

Is it a family member?

Is it you?

I'm not.

I hate to say this.

I'm hoping I'm being set up here in a good way and I'm not alone.

I have no idea who Stacey Ruffin is.

Oh, my God.

This is

a blue.

Thank you, Pat.

Stacy Ruffin, she was murdered in 2016 by you.

At least according to CNN, who tweeted,

what killed Stacey Ruffin?

She drowned in a 2016 flood in Louisiana that was made more likely by climate change.

Are we to blame for her death?

I don't know.

Maybe we are.

We're going to investigate that, of course, coming up.

Good gully.

This is not going to go well for President Trump.

Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier has just resigned from the President's American Manufacturing Council over President Trump's unwillingness to condemn alt-right racism by name on Saturday after the violence in Charlottesville, culminating in terrorist attack by a white supremacist.

I mean, America is very clear on Nazis.

I mean, I feel like it's almost like Coca-Cola or something.

It's like America against the Nazis since 1941.

It's a notable part of our history, I would say.

I'd say it was pretty prominent.

Pretty prominent.

I mean, how we don't come out and call them by name.

It's not controversial with anyone other than Nazis.

He is the only black member of the council, and he has just issued this statement.

I am resigning from the President's Council on American Manufacturing.

Our country's strength stems from its diversity and its contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations, and political beliefs.

America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry, and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal.

Also, as CEO of Merck, and as a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.

Okay.

Let's not engage in what about-ism.

Yeah, but what about

crap?

Because

what about

BLM?

What about Antifa and everything else?

Is he consistent on that?

I don't know.

I'm assuming he is.

I hope he is.

Because that's the only way you have any credibility left.

And believe me, in the end, in the end,

we are going to be left with nothing.

We are going home and crossing the other side with nothing but our credibility.

That's it.

In the end, that's all that will matter.

We're going to need that credibility soon because there's nothing credible anymore.

So

I'm hoping that he is consistent about

BLM and anyone else that is on the other side calling for violence and extremism because of whatever the reason.

Now, here's where it's going to get ugly.

President Trump just tweeted.

Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council, he'll have more time to lower rip-off drug prices.

So the President couldn't take the time

to specifically say Nazi white supremacist are bad.

But he can take the time to come out and say that Merck is running rip-off drug prices.

I mean,

the guy you just said was one of the best people in the world, one of the best businessmen, honorable, and everything else.

Now

the minute he disagrees with you,

you come out with that.

I mean, it's crazy what's going on.

I mean, it goes to his strengths and his weaknesses as a president.

He's good at attacking his enemies, right?

He's never going to be good in the

comment after the tragedy moment.

He's never going to be a statesman.

But no, he's never going to take one of those out of the way.

You don't have to be a statesman on this one.

You don't have to be a statesman on this one.

This is a common enemy.

This is not a hard one to think.

They're carrying Nazi flags.

It's really, I mean, that's about as basic as you can get.

See the guy over there?

Which one?

The guy with a Hitler mustache and the Nazi flag giving the Ziegheil salute?

Yeah.

What do you think of him?

Easy answer.

Really easy answer.

It's fair.

That is a fair point.

I would agree with it.

But I mean, look at, again, if you look at the actual text of what he said, there's nothing he said that was wrong.

It's not like he said the Nazis were the good guys.

No.

He didn't say that.

He said all violence on all sides is bad.

And that's true.

And it's absolutely.

And that's absolutely true.

And we should pause for a moment and note that that's true.

Because we are today on the two-month anniversary of a Bernie Sanders campaign worker going to a charity softball practice and attempting to assassinate 10% of the elected GOP members in Washington.

This is not an argument about whether there is violence on both sides.

You can say

fairly that maybe Trump isn't the guy to present that.

The president of the United States might not be the guy to present that point.

It might not be the time.

to present that point.

But those are the exact things that Donald Trump doesn't embrace.

Those types of traditions.

He doesn't care about them at all.

So to act as if we all thought he was going to come out with this magical, uniting statement after something like this, I don't think is an appropriate expectation for some guy like Donald Trump.

He's not good at this sort of stuff.

He's good at attacking some guy who just was disloyal to him and left his council.

And he's going to sit there and he's going to be more passionate about that.

More passionate.

He is.

That is one of the things that I'm going to say.

But let's think this through.

Let's think this through.

More passionate about a guy who leaves his council

than

a Nazi killing a woman

in the streets.

And

he can read Twitter

and seeing that everyone's saying, president's not going to say anything because he backs these people up.

He's more impassioned.

about the Merck guy than just

then coming out and saying, by the way, I got nothing to do with these guys.

They're bad guys.

Just on the survival instincts that he has.

He's being labeled, and I think wrongly so, a right, a white supremacy guy and a Nazi sympathizer.

I don't think he's a Nazi sympathizer.

I think his people like Bannon have tied him to anybody, just keeping them quiet and keeping them guessing.

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe he is.

Maybe he isn't.

Using them as useful idiots.

I don't think Trump has anything to do with that.

I don't think Trump has any idea what

the alt-right even is.

However, if I'm being tied to white supremacists and I see a white supremacist go out and kill somebody,

I make sure

I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.

The strongest possible terms.

And he does.

Just for survival.

Right.

The issue with Trump is I think he was condemning it.

Obviously, he doesn't want people killed.

And he does.

I don't think he thinks Nazis protesting in the street are good people.

I don't think he thinks murderers are good people.

I agree.

What he sees, though, there is a vulnerability,

and rightfully so, by the way, he sees the press is going to make it out like people on my side are killing people.

And we need to make sure they know that it's on both sides.

I need to say that.

I need to say that.

I need to say that.

I need to say that.

And by the way, on the other side of this point.

And to a lot of people, they'd say bless his heart for doing that.

Yeah, at least he stood up and

mentioned that there was violence on the other side.

At the same point, the media is the same way.

They only saw this story through the Trump statement prism.

Yes.

How did Donald Trump react to this?

They barely even saw this as an actual event.

They saw this as a secondary thing,

the actual death of this person.

Rather, it was about whether Trump was an opportunity for him every time.

Whether it was, how do we wreck Trump?

How would Trump do on this?

Because there's an obsession with this man.

By both the media and by Donald Trump himself.

I agree.

They're both obsessed with Donald Trump.

And they can't see their way to viewing a story on any other lens my question is and this is really kind of where i started and never got to okay so you say he's never going to be good at that i got that i got that is there no one around him

is there no one around him that says mr president say whatever you want whatever you want but you must say this yeah but he i think he disregards them yes you know yeah i mean i think he thinks

he just he just thinks he knows better than they do.

Did you have the Mike Pence statement, Pat, handy?

I think it was emailed to you if you don't have it quickly handy.

But I mean, Pence came out and did what you would expect out of the president, right?

He came out with a very strongly worded enemy.

He was specific about who the enemy was.

It is true.

I mean, like, there's nothing, you're not demeaning your own side or your own point or anything valid about yourself by saying these people are the worst people on earth.

They are.

They're terrible.

Yeah.

You want to separate yourself from them.

This is what he said.

These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate, and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.

That's all you have to do.

And he actually said at another point, the KKK, he mentioned the specific groups as well.

White supremacists, neo-Nazis, the KKK.

You know,

that's what he probably should have done.

And

it probably would have alleviated this controversy.

Though the media would have found another controversy on the side of the world, I will tell you this, though.

It's not just the media.

I mean, David Duke and all of those guys, Spencer,

I don't know if you saw anything that they were tweeting and anything they were saying, but they used his lack

of, yeah,

they loved that and said, see, he's with us.

So the alt-right is

latching on to his silence and hurting him.

They're giving that fuel to the press.

However.

Had he done that,

the David Dukes of the world would have said, well, he has to say that.

Yeah, I know, but at least you had him on record.

At least you had him on record.

And this is not a, I don't think the president is a racist.

I don't think that the president,

you know, is clearly not for Nazis.

I never thought so either.

I just don't believe any of that.

I never believe that.

Yeah.

So it's not

a commentary on that.

It is

for a guy who seems to know

how to speak to people

and connect with crowds, he is absolutely and totally tone deaf

when it comes to

himself and how he's being positioned as the new leader of the, you know, somewhere he's got that frog outfit in his closet.

You watch, he's going to put on the giant frog head.

I mean, he's going to come out.

He touts himself as essentially the greater communicator, right?

I mean, what it was that David French, he had the David French quote handy by any chance?

Well, he knows the best word.

You know, French had told that.

Had a great best words.

You know, his silence to these groups is

intentional.

His vague treatment of these particular groups, it's hard to imagine he's not doing it for some real reason.

And it might just be that the fuel between his movement has similar characteristics, maybe some shared interests.

Which is bad.

It's not good.

But I mean, maybe he's just avoiding it because of those reasons.

The Steve Bannon book that just came out, Devil's Bargain, I would say presented him in that light.

It was not that Steve Bannon is some fan of the alt-write or thinks that way even.

He just was able, he knew how to wrangle the energy behind it.

And

he really valued the energy from his life

in underground video game, you know.

currency trading and all the weird stuff he did before he became sort of politically prominent.

He was in those worlds and recognized the power of those groups,

passionate groups that feel underserved.

And it could very well be that that's how he comes to this.

It's still not comforting, though.

I got to say, it's got nothing to do with who I am.

It's got nothing to do with anyone that I know who's been on the right this whole time.

These people, you know, Dwight Schroot from the office was not assistant regional manager.

He was assistant to the regional manager.

And in the same way here, the alt-right is not an alternative right.

It's an alternative to the right.

It is not the same thing.

It has nothing to do with what we've stood for this entire time.

Think of the size of government needed to implement the policies that these people want.

It has nothing to do with what we've talked about for decades.

But I mean, all of a sudden, this is a sign to us, and I'm not willing to accept it.

David French wrote, Trump is very, very specific when he wants to condemn someone.

Ask the cons,

ask Comey, ask his AG.

His vagueness has a purpose.

I hope that's not true.

But, you know, you see this example today.

The guy from Merck, he resigns within minutes.

He's on.

Yeah, it's visceral.

Where's the visceral reaction from the president on white nationalists and

the Nazi Party?

He needs to have a visceral moment.

Oh, the hypocrisy is just crazy.

Our former attorney general has just tweeted.

Yeah, this is great.

If ISIS rammed a car into a crowd, this would be labeled quickly and logically domestic terrorism.

The next tweet up on his account, maybe you should sit this one out, Mr.

Workplace Violence.

By the way, this point comes up every time there's one of these attacks.

Anyone in this room ever have a problem with calling this guy a terrorist for what he did?

No, not at all.

There's no argument here.

No one is saying that it is not terrorism.

It is terrorism.

Yep.

Just as bad as if an ISIS member would have done it.

Yep, absolutely.

I thought that's actually what was happening.

I just saw a quick headline.

I was out, saw a quick headline, saw that a car had pulled through, and I thought somebody had, you know,

here we go.

It's an ISIS guy doing it, but this time in America, nope, it's an American, it's a Nazi, it's a killer.

Still terrorists.

That tactic has been used many times by ISIS.

You're right.

But I mean, it's still a terrorist attack.

No, it's like this defense mechanism of the left.

It's like, oh, well, how come you won't call this terrorist when Muslims did it?

You call it terrorist.

Terrorism on both.

Can you come with us and call it terrorism when Muslims do it now?

Will we be on the same page for that one?

Because he's saying, oh, it would be appropriately charged by that.
