Dana Loesch Talks Trump, Intimidation, Abuse and Chivalry

April 05, 2016
 Jon Boldt

Writer

Dana Loesch joined The Glenn Beck Program on Friday to discuss the Trump campaign and how they have been treating women. In case you’ve been under a rock this week, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was caught on tape grabbing former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields and has been charged by police for simple assault.

Loesch has signed on with several other female media members calling for the resignation of Lewandowski, a possibility Trump strongly dismisses.

"I want to see some chivalry because that's a conservative principle. Chivalry is a conservative principle," Loesch said. "Respect, because I don't see it from the left. I'm used to seeing this behavior from progressivism. Expecting men to act like gentlemen and women to act like ladies are conservative principles. That's what I want to see. I want to see him removed from this campaign."

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

Nobody Loves Women Like Donald Trump

The Donald loves women and women love the Donald, at least that’s what he’d like everyone to believe. The past couple of weeks, Donald Trump has seemed to stumble when it comes to his treatment of women and his newfound views on abortion. It's already beginning to show --- polls reveal Trump's negativity rating is at a high of 73 percent.

"He is just falling apart," Glenn said.

Loesch went one step further and revealed one of her biggest frustrations.

"It aggravates me when people say, 'Well, you have some conservative women who are acting like they're social justice warriors because they're taking offense to this or that.' That's called common decency. There's a huge difference," she said.

Dana Aint Nobody’s Puppet

Loesch dug into her views on the latest from Trump, and Glenn quickly cleared up something people on Facebook seemed to be confused about.

“Okay. So tell me what you’re doing because I love this. When you released this, my Facebook was filled with ‘Glenn Beck puppet, Dana Loesch.’ You’ve seen this?” Glenn asked.

“And as I said on the air yesterday, nobody is telling you what to do. Nobody in their right mind is telling you what you need – ‘listen, Dana, you come into my office. I’m telling you what to do.’”

Loesch concurred that no such collusion has taken place.

“For like Ted Cruz. ‘You need to say this about Donald Trump right now’ --- that never happened.”

Girl Talk

Lately, the only thing unifying about the Trump campaign is all those lining up in opposition. Dana and Glenn talked about her effort to bring women in the media together to stand up for common decency --- but co-host Pat Gray of course had to introduce a little innuendo.

“I know them personally and have met in person before, so it’s not just an online thing. And, you know, ladies talk,” Loesch said.

“The ones that [Cruz] supposedly got together with?” Pat asked, disingenuously.

Loesch saw right through the question and answered quickly.

“Right. Right. Not the mistresses. I know. I’m saving that one for ‘Barbara Wa-wa.’ But, no, we had been talking back channel, and we were thinking, “Something really needs to be said about this because this is more than just --- a campaign issue. This is an issue with the media.”

Fair and Biased

This campaign season has been anything but fair and balanced. Trump has dominated TV time and it’s apparent who the pundits prefer. Dana explained how it’s possible to still have deeply held beliefs and have a preference while still being honest.

“I get aggravated when I see people on television and radio, they think that everybody is dumb and they’re not going to know where they’re coming from. We’re going to be in the neutral. We’re right there in the neutral,” Loesch said. “They want you to think that they’re still neutral. And that doesn’t exist. This is about a free press. This is about how a reporter should be able to go up and ask a question and not get manhandled by this needle neck who thinks he’s badder than Secret Service.”

Bruises Speak Louder Than Words

The video is one thing, but the bruises are a whole new ballgame for Glenn.

“If she was pulled down and she didn’t have bruises on her arm, I don’t think people would have paid as much attention to this,” Glenn said. “But because of those bruises --- Dana, is there any doubt --- you even put the bruises on your own arm or your own face and then you call the police and say to the police, ‘My husband just did this to me,’ any doubt that they’d take him away in handcuffs?”

“No. That’s usually kind of how it goes. When you watch Cops, that’s usually how it goes,” Loesch responded.

Recognizing Abuse

“We know what it looks like. We know what abuse looks like,” Glenn said.

Loesch reveled just how personal abuse is to her.

“Right. I grew up, and I’ve seen it in my family. So I’m not going to be lectured to anybody who wants to sit here and tell me what a battered woman looks like because I woke up and I saw it every damn day of my life, so I will not be lectured by anybody on that,” Loesch said.

While Lewandowski will have his day in court, the video and bruises are more than enough probable cause for the charges. Whether it was illegal or not, the abuse and intimidation is recognizable to any who have seen it up close and personal.

Living Through Abuse and Intimidation

Glenn and Loesch both have lived through abuse and intimidation and can see it a mile away.

“These guys --- you can recognize those guys, can’t you? If you’ve lived in it, you recognize these guys a million miles away. And they’re doing the thing that enablers and abusers always do,” Glenn said.

Loesch agreed.

"You recognize intimidation," she said. "You recognize intimidation."

'We don't have freedom of speech anymore': Greg Gutfeld on how INSANE cancel culture has become

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld joined Glenn on "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to talk about his new book, "The Plus: Self-Help for People Who Hate Self-Help."

Greg admits he is probably the last person who should write a self-help book. Nevertheless, he offers his offbeat advice on how to save America during what has become one of the most tumultuous times in history, as well as drinking while tweeting (spoiler: don't do it).

He also shares his "evolution" on President Donald Trump, his prediction for the election, and what it means to be an agnostic-atheist.

In this clip, Greg shares what he calls his "first great epiphany" on how dangerous cancel culture has become.

"I believe that cancel culture is the first successful work-around of the First Amendment," he said. "Because freedom of speech doesn't protect me from my career being ruined, my livelihood being destroyed, or me getting so depressed I commit suicide. Cancel culture is the first successful work-around of freedom of speech. It can oppress your speech with the scepter of destruction. We don't have freedom of speech anymore."

'What I discovered was absolutely shocking': Doctor reveals the REAL reason for anti-hydroxychloroquine hype

Dr. Simone Gold joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Thursday to set the record straight about hydroxychloroquine -- what it is, how it works, and the real reason for all the current controversy surrounding a centuries-old medication.

Dr. Gold is a board certified emergency physician. She graduated from Chicago Medical School before attending Stanford University Law School. She completed her residency in emergency medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York, and worked in Washington D.C. for the Surgeon General, as well for the chairman of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources. She works as an emergency physician on the front lines, whether or not there is a pandemic, and her clinical work serves all Americans from urban inner city to suburban and the Native American population. Her legal practice focuses on policy issues relating to law and medicine.

She is also the founder of America's frontline doctors, a group of doctors who have been under attack this week for speaking out about hydroxychloroquine during a news conference held outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington D.C.

On the program, Dr. Gold emphasized that the controversy over hydroxychloroquine is a "complete myth."

"Hydroxychloroquine is an analogue or a derivative of quinine, which is found in tree bark. It's the most noncontroversial of medications that there is," she explained.

"It's been around for centuries and it's been FDA-approved in the modern version, called hydroxychloroquine, for 65 years. In all of that time, [doctors] used it for breast-feeding women, pregnant women, elderly, children, and immune compromised. The typical use is for years or even decades because we give it mostly to RA, rheumatoid arthritis patients and lupus patients who need to be on it, essentially, all of their life. So, we have extensive experience with it ... it's one of the most commonly used medications throughout the world."

Dr. Gold told Glenn she was surprised when the media suddenly "vomited all over hydroxychloroquine", but initially chalked it up to the left's predictable hatred for anything President Donald Trump endorses. However, when the media gave the drug Remdesivir glowing reviews, despite disappointing clinical trial results, she decided to do some research.

"[Remdesivir] certainly wasn't a fabulous drug, but the media coverage was all about how fabulous it was. At that moment, I thought that was really weird. Because it's one thing to hate hydroxychloroquine because the president [endorsed] it. But it's another thing to give a free pass to another medicine that doesn't seem that great. I thought that was really weird, so I started looking into it. And let me tell you, what I discovered was absolutely shocking," she said.

DEADLY LIES: How media attacks on Trump put our KIDS in danger

According to the mainstream media's COVID-19 narrative, the president is "ignoring" the crisis.

On tonight's "Glenn TV" special, Glenn Beck exposes the media's last four months of political theater that has helped shape America's confusion and fear over coronavirus. And now, with a new school year looming on the horizon, the ongoing hysteria has enormous ramifications for our children, but the media is working overtime to paint the Trump administration as anti-science Neanderthals who want to send children and teachers off to die by reopening schools.

Glenn fights back with the facts and interviews the medical doctor Big Tech fears the most. Dr. Simone Gold, founder of America's Frontline Doctors, stands up to the media's smear campaign and explains why she could no longer stay silent in her fight against coronavirus fear.

FACT CHECK: The TRUTH about face masks and COVID-19

It's high time to leave the partisan politics behind and focus on the facts about face masks and whether or not they really work against COVID-19.

On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck spoke with Drs. Scott Jensen and George Rutherford about the scientific evidence that proves or disproves the effectiveness of mask wearing to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Then, Dr. Karyln Borysenko joined to break down where the massive political divide over masks came from in the first place.

"I think if we were to talk about this a couple months ago, I might have said, 'Well, there's the science of masks, and there's the emotions of masks.' But, unfortunately, there's something in between," Jensen said. "I would have thought that the science of masks would have to do with the physics of masks, so I did a video a couple months ago where I talked about the pore side of a cotton mask or a surgical mask."

He explained that properly worn masks can help reduce the spread of virus particles, but cautioned against a false-sense of security when wearing a mask because they are far from providing complete protection.

"If you have a triple-ply mask, the pore size will end up being effectively five microns. And five microns, to a COVID-19 virus particle, is 50 times larger. That's approximately the same differential between the two-inch separation between the wires of a chain-link fence, and a gnat," Jensen explained.

"But now what we're seeing is if we have some collision of COVID-19 viral particles with the latticework of any mask ... if you're breathing out or breathing in and the viral particles collide with the actual latticework of a mask, I think intuitively, yes, we can reduce the amount of virus particles that are going back and forth."

Dr. Rutherford said masks are essential tools for fighting COVID-19, as long as you wear them correctly. He laid out the three main reasons he believes we should all be wearing masks.

"So, we're trying to do three things," he said. "First of all, we're trying to protect the people around you, in case you are one of the 60% of people who have asymptomatic infection and don't know it. The second thing we're trying to do is to protect you. The third thing we're trying to do is, if you get infected, you'll get infected at a lower dose, and then you're less likely to develop symptoms. That's the threefer."
