MSM: Recognize Your Sins and Apologize to the American People

As we're going through this scandal of Donald Trump, I'm really trying very hard to look at all sides and stay as reasonable as I can. And it is really difficult.

It's very difficult to watch people in the media who have never woken up from their slumber. They've never done any soul-searching. They don't understand why Donald Trump won. I mean, the win of Donald Trump really changed my life, because I couldn't figure it out either. So I started doing some soul-searching. What have I missed? What's happened? What does it mean?

Soul-Searching Truth

That soul-searching has led me to the truth.

It's not that Russia was meddling with the election. It's not that people in the country are racist. It's the fact that people in the country are hurting, they're in real trouble and they're on their last straw.

I've talked to people all over the country who are supporting Donald Trump without really wanting to --- but they don't know what else to do because he's their last hope. They also know if Donald Trump goes away, the left and the media will do the same thing to Mike Pence. You could dig up John F. Kennedy, start his heart again, throw some more meat on his bones and the Democrats would destroy him . . . if he were a Republican candidate. The media would tear him apart if he were Republican. By the way, I don't think JFK would --- I know JFK wouldn't --- be welcome in the Democratic Party today, and I don't think Mitch McConnell would accept him because he would be too conservative in today's Republican Party.

Fake News and Team Jerseys

Last night, I saw Sebastian Gorka, a low-level guy at the White House, on CNN with Anderson Cooper. Apparently is a guy who just likes to get on and say inflammatory things in the media, and he was the one last night willing to just say anything.

I'm watching this, and hearing him say things like, "Well, this is just fake news." And Anderson Cooper says, "How can this be fake news? This email that we're discussing was released by Donald Trump, Jr. We didn't make it up. It came from him." Gorka replies, "It's fake news. It's fake news."

I mean, it's crazy. And I could see it in Anderson's eyes --- he really didn't understand --- what the hell is happening?

But is anybody in the media actually going to take the time to figure it out?

You Didn't --- and Don't --- Care About the Truth

Let me explain it to you, media.

You really didn't care about the Whitewater scandal. You didn't care about that. That was, what, 30 years ago? You kind of cared about it. And there were a few things like Chinagate or Filegate that actually rose to the level of a "gate" for you.

But the Clinton rape scandals? You say you care about women and oppression of women --- but you didn't really care about that. You didn't care about Paula Jones. You didn't care about the most powerful man on earth exerting his oppressive white privilege power over Monica Lewinsky, a young, impressionable intern. You didn't care about that.

You didn't care about Sandy Berger after 9/11. You didn't care that he went in and stole documents from the National Archives, that he put them in his socks and underpants and left the archives --- something that you and I would go to jail for. You didn't care about that story. You didn't care that he got his national security clearance back. But boy, did you care that George Bush gave a speech with a sign that said, "Mission accomplished," behind him. Oh, my gosh, that was the biggest scandal on the planet, when an aircraft carrier that went to war with a mission, completed their mission and came home, my gosh, did you care.

You didn't care --- you still don't care --- about Van Jones and his organization starting the entire "Bush hates black people and lets them die" campaign. You didn't care about that. In fact, you've hired Van Jones and welcomed him into your ranks.

You didn't care about Michael Moore's integrity or his hateful rhetoric or Cindy Sheehan's hateful rhetoric. But, boy oh boy, somebody puts out a campaign piece where they say, "We're targeting these districts," and it's the most violent, awful rhetoric of all time.

Collusion with Russia? Okay, how about this one: Ted Kennedy, at the height of the Cold War, going over and colluding with Russia. You didn't care about that. How about this one? The Secretary of State going around the law and selling uranium to Russia. You didn't care about that. But, oh my gosh, Donald Trump? Russia?

You used to love Russia. For the last eight years, we only heard about how great Russia and Vladimir Putin were --- while he was throwing reporters off rooftops! "He's a great guy." But now Donald Trump thinks Putin is a good guy? Oh, the horror!

You didn't care that Americans were being targeted intentionally by the IRS. You didn't care.

You didn't care about Benghazi. You didn't care about the Hillary scandal with all of the emails and all of the secure information that she had to cut and paste to be able to get out of secure, locked rooms. You didn't care about that. But, oh my gosh, have you heard of Valerie Plame? Valerie Plame, oh my gosh, it's the greatest tragedy since Ronald Reagan blew up the moon!

You go on and on and on about dangerous weapons and how dangerous weapons will fall into the hands of terrorists and killers. Yet you don't care about the attorney general taking guns and illegally selling them over the border in Fast and Furious. Those guns fell into the hands of someone who killed an American border guard and are being used by terrorists in France --- but you didn't, and still don't, care about that. Where were the calls for our former attorney general to pay and answer for his crimes and collusion?

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, I mean Darth Vader, he was the worst man ever. "He was our father." He was the worst.

Did you hear about all of the no-bid contracts that Dick Cheney gave to Halliburton? Halliburton! They're bidding the Death Star. Halliburton, no-bid contracts, Dick Cheney, Star Wars, run for your life!

Let's not mention that Barack Obama was also giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton. That's okay. But if George Bush ever used the "H" word, you sure reminded us of the evils of no-bid contracts with Halliburton.

By the way, Hillary's her right-hand woman, Huma Abedin, has deep family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and some of the most extremist Muslims in the Middle East --- but that's no big deal. You didn't --- and don't --- care about that. And her freaky husband who always has a wiener in his hand also had Hillary's emails, but I'm sure he's trustworthy. Let's not make anything out of that. Let's just not talk about it. Because if we get into that, we might have to talk about how Hillary was an actual disciple of Saul Alinsky.

Saul who? Oh, have you seen that new show Better Call Saul? That must be what they're talking about. It's so funny. Or Obama's ties to Reverend Wright, probably the least radical person in his childhood. Why would you talk about Obama's childhood when Mitt Romney gave some kid a haircut in 1965? How could you possibly bring something up about Barack Obama's childhood when you have something on Mitt Romney from 1965 --- a haircut, a dog on the roof. I mean, at the time, you could put your dog or your cat or your children in the car without seat belts, practically strap them on the radio antenna or the hood of the car while you were driving down the highway --- and nobody would have said anything in 1965. But look into the past of Barack Obama? Only a racist or bigot would do that.

Reality Check

Here's the thing, media. There are actual things hurting everyday Americans --- today.

"I promise you, everybody is going to get $2,500 back, you're going to save $2,500 on your health care." You touted that and called everybody a bigot and a racist who said the math didn't work. Now, maybe you were ahead of us, using that Common Core math. So, as long as you can show your work, it doesn't matter if the numbers didn't add up. This actually affected people, in a negative way.

You want to tell us about all the people that are going to die if Obamacare gets repealed or replaced? How about the estimated 80,000 who could have lived if Obamacare hadn't been passed? How about all the people that have lost their jobs, lost their health care, haven't had a raise since 9/11? You helped promise the lie of Obamacare and sold them down the river into the slavery of government health care --- because they're going to save $2,500. The CBO hadn't even scored it yet, but you were sure it was right. Health care has gone up 140 percent, not down --- and you are still selling the lie.

So maybe you can understand why so many Americans don’t trust you, and aren’t outraged by THIS scandal. Many of us, many who voted for Donald Trump, are outraged, but we know you’re actually more afraid of Mike Pence, as Al Franken admitted.

Many of us on the right aren’t happy about the things Trump does or says. We know he doesn’t always tell the truth, but millions of Americans have put up with YOUR lies for decades --- and you NEVER seem to have a moment of clarity or humility or honesty.

You and academia jam FAIRNESS down our throats. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

So, as a paid observer of news, culture and people, forgive me for not jumping to defend Donald Jr’s actions…but MEDIA…forgive me for not seeing things the way you do. I understand why one third of the country is so mad and why they look to President Trump as a savior. It’s all about righteous indignation. Many of these Americans haven’t had a raise since 9/11 and are seeing their savings disappear and quite frankly are being raped by the education system. Their culture is being torn apart and you don’t seem to care that the biggest corporate greed is coming from the "non-profits" of education that have billions in endowments, yet they’ve all raised tuition at double the speed of health care. That’s another thing you don’t care about.

You don’t care because you live the life of a protected class. Those defending Trump are defending their lifestyle and trying to feed their families. Your record shows you’ll lie, ignore, distract and cover for treasonous acts if it fits your agenda for ratings, ideology or just taking the path of least resistance.

Somewhere, listening to my voice, are those Americans who are hurting and know the score. They are actually willing to stop this bickering if only someone on your side would recognize that those who stand for the Constitution aren’t bigots, aren’t racists and they don’t want to starve children. They will stop this insanity if you would only be truthful, recognize your sins of the past --- and apologize to the American people.

Exposed: Trump’s Hidden Side Revealed in Glenn Beck’s Oval Office Bombshell

Glenn shares behind-the-scenes stories from his incredible trip to Washington, DC, and the White House. When Glenn sat down for an exclusive interview with President Trump, he didn’t think Trump would also give him a personal tour of the White House, including the Oval Office, his latest troll of Hillary Clinton, and even his personal residence and the Lincoln Bedroom. Glenn describes the historic treasures Trump showed him, like a copy of the Gettysburg Address. But Glenn can’t tell his favorite parts of the day because of an NDA. But he gives a hint: Trump is NOT at all who the media portrays him as.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

STU: Welcome back, Glenn. Back from DC.

GLENN: Thank you. Interesting week.

STU: I bet it was.

GLENN: Interesting week.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Learned an awful lot. I've got to go up at least a quarter. Every quarter. There is so much going on. It is moving so fast. And you get a -- you get a completely different perspective when you're actually there talking to the people that are moving the pieces. And I had a lot of conversations that I can't divulge on the air.

I can't say, unfortunately -- I was with the president yesterday.

And it was an incredible, absolutely incredible -- and the thing I was most excited to share was his heart. He -- it was amazing.

Did the interview. Went into the Oval Office. And he left me alone with my wife in the Oval Office for like five minutes. Now, I'm like.

He was lucky, I didn't go through the drawers.

You know, I look -- where is that little hidden puzzle piece, that I saw on national archive.

But, I mean, he left us alone for five minutes. Nobody is left alone in the Oval for five minutes.

And he walks in five minutes later. Tania was so uncomfortable. Like, I don't know what to say.

What do I do?

And I'm like, they said, make yourself comfortable.

So have a seat, wherever you want. You know, probably not behind the desk. But have a seat. So we just go around. And I was alone with the Declaration of Independence. I mean, it was incredible in the Oval Office!

STU: Any part of you think, maybe I just kind of put -- fold it up. Put it in my pocket. Nobody notices. None of that?

GLENN: No. Uh-uh.

STU: Darn it.

GLENN: This is the first time I've been in the Oval Office. The first time you're overwhelmed. The first time you're like -- because it's a magical place. It really is a magical place.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: And so he said, he walks in. And he's like, you know, nobody -- I'm like.

STU: He said, what?

GLENN: Nobody sits in here without the president. Or, you know, without somebody else.

STU: Right. Yeah, that's really rare.

GLENN: And I said, I'm aware of that. He said, but I knew you would want to look at everything. So I thought you would be more comfortable if you were here by yourself. Oh, it was fantastic.

So we sit down. We talk. We go do the interview. And while we were talking in the Oval, we were conversing about a few things. And he said, and Abraham Lincoln came up. We were talking -- he is well-versed on the presidents. He is becoming a historian. He really is! He's really done his homework.

And he said, are you a fan of Abraham Lincoln? I said, yeah. And he said, you ever been to the Lincoln bedroom? I said, no. Want to go?

I'm like, wait. Of course I do. Yes. Let's do this interview.

So we do the interview. And he -- I'm told, he only has 40 minutes. Now we've just eaten ten.

And so we go. We do the interview. And his aides are cutting us off. And I'm like, I've got at least ten more minutes of questions.

And so we're getting cut off. And as we stop. His aide says, sir, the National Security Council is waiting for you.

And he says, right. I'm going to take them to the Lincoln bedroom first.

And they're like, the security counsel is meeting right now. They're waiting for you.

He said, let them wait. I'm going to take -- so he takes us, the longest way possible. He takes us through the entire White House, room by room.

Shows us all of the meanings behind things. All of the amazing, amazing -- like nobody knows about the White House. Takes us to the -- takes us to the basement, which is not really the basement. You know, it's the actual first floor where all of the guests come in. And they come up the grand staircase and everything else.

But it's the basement. And he's walking through. And he's showing me a troll, first of all.

I have to show you these paintings. I just see this painting of Laura Bush. And Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. Up on a wall. He said, I walk by them every day.

And I say, this is not right. And he said, and then I got this painting of me. And, you know, it's me, with the flag face. Looking kind of tough.

And he said, I thought I put them between the two. And it had just gone viral. Just released a picture of him. And just gone viral.

It was a troll. The guy is just trolling. And he said, yeah. Don't you love it?

I just think it works. This trio really works. And I said, can I get a snap of them?

So we did this picture, the two of us, you know, on the ground floor of the White House. The tour goes by this every day.

Okay?

And all of a sudden, this thing goes viral. And they start -- memes start to be made, with J.D. Vance. In the pictures, they change -- people just started changing all the pictures behind us.

This is a meme before -- you know, going off before we finished.

And then he takes us upstairs. Takes us through all these things.

And the -- the aides keep gathering. There's like 20 of them now, following us. And I keep hearing, sir, the national security is waiting. He's like, I know. I know.

And so we got up to the executive residence. And the reason why he had to give us -- the reason why he had to do this tour, is because you're not allowed in the residence. And you're not allowed into the Lincoln bedroom, without the president of the United States.

It's the only one that can do it.

Melania cannot come down and do the tour.

It has to be the president. He's telling them. I'm sorry. But rules are rules. And so he takes us up, into the Lincoln bedroom.

It was the most incredible thing I have -- I mean, it's like -- it's a time capsule. It's really his bed. Which is about 6 inches longer than like the big king-size bed. It might have been longer than a California queen. It was very narrow.

Like, obviously, you know, he's not like Hugh Hefner. It's a very narrow bed.

But very, very long.

The mirror on one hand was extended to, you know, for somebody who is like six-nine, I think. Barron could use that mirror.

And then on the other side of the room is a writing desk.

And on this one table, all these things about his son. Lincoln's son who had died. And this really eerie picture of Lincoln. This painting.

And the president said, that was his favorite painting of himself. And it's really. It was spooky almost.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And I couldn't take a picture. You're not allowed to take any photos in the Lincoln bedroom.

And I was so bummed because I couldn't wait to show them we. But they're in his writing desk. And on it, is the Gettysburg address. One of four of the Gettysburg addresses. He gave -- Lincoln was at Gettysburg. And said, Mr. President. That was a great speech.

Do you have a copy of it? And he said, sure. And hands him a speech.

And says, here. This is a New York reporter. Takes it. Types it up, and then throws it away.

So during the war, Lincoln writes four copies of the Gettysburg address.

In the four copies, only two of them say, this nation under God. Two of them don't say that. And we don't know why.

But the one there says, this nation under God. So it was just almost like a spiritual thing. We come down, and we're ending the tour.

And I said, I have to ask. I said, I know you're Donald J. Trump. But -- now, what do you think I'm going to ask. Because he cuts me off right there, and he tries to answer. And I was amazed that he knew what I was even going to ask. Where do you think I'm at? I know you're Donald J. Trump, but --

STU: I mean, it could be anything obviously.

GLENN: He said every day, and that's the right answer! But I didn't still know if he knew what I was talking. And I say, every day?

And he said every day, Glenn. I wake up every day, and I -- I say to myself, I can't believe I'm in this house.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: I mean, he's still humble about it. He's still -- he respects that place. I mean, a lot of the -- well, he didn't tell me this. So I don't think I signed anything about it.

He didn't tell me this.

So the -- the word is, that Hillary stole a lot of the glass door knobs at the White House. Okay. That's the word.

Don't if it's true.

But stole them. He came in, and he redid all of the doorknobs, and they are beautiful. This guy has put serious money into the White House.

And he's never going to get any credit. And the rumor was, on those doorknobs, that they were going to take them out. I don't know if they did on Biden. But they don't want any of the Trump stuff in there. And took out the doorknobs.

But he's -- he's poured a ton of money upgrading that house, and he'll never get credit for it.

But he deserves it. All right. I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what we talked about on the important stuff here in just a second.

STU: So you were able to go through all of this, and look at all these incredible documents.

This is kind of like your fantasy league life, right?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

STU: Every document you could ever want. Every piece of history you could ever look at.

You would spend no time actually being president, if you were president.


GLENN: I don't know when this guy has time. I really don't.

Some of the Secret Service guys said, he's here, in the middle of the night, working on stuff.

He'll do full day.

Then he's there. Who is up at this hour?

It's him.

STU: That's not the way the media presents him.

They say, he's watching TV.

Watching Fox news all day.

GLENN: Oh, there's no way.

This guy has learned so much.

There's no way I had a conversation with him, five, six years ago. No way.

STU: You notice a difference?

GLENN: Oh, huge. His learning curve is straight-up.

Absolutely straight-up.

And in the interview. There's nothing. I could have said things.

Remember the nuclear triad question that he was hit with?

Where he didn't really -- there's not a question I could ask him, where he doesn't know the answer.

Literally. Literally.

I mean, everything I ask him off-air or on-air, he's there. He knows it. If it's happening in the world, he knows it. I don't know how he keeps up like this.

STU: It is -- I mean, his energy level is impressive. There's no doubt about that.

I don't know. The bar was set pretty low the last four years. But his -- that's been one of the things, I don't think there's ever been really much at -- disagreement on.

The fact that we -- we did, years ago, went around with candidates, around Iowa, for example. Just in campaigning, and it was like, oh, gosh. By the end of the weekend, I wanted to sleep for a week.
Because it was just so much.

Running around. Doing -- can't imagine being president of the United States. He's always energized.

GLENN: He's always energized. I mean, and I saw him. When I got on to the plane last night. Because I know, he went from -- he went from my interview, directly to the National Security Council.

And then by the time I'm sitting at the airport, there's a video of him meeting with the people that were in the lobby, waiting for him all of these veterans.

And he's doing stuff with veterans on TV.

I mean, the guy is just boom, boom, boom.

Remember Joe Biden was like, he'll have -- he'll have some pudding.

STU: Oh, yeah. The pudding and the lid.

GLENN: And the lid. And that's it.

This guy is going non-stop.

STU: Obviously, we're just setting up the main course here.

Which is your interview with him.

That airs on Blaze TV tonight.

GLENN: It was on last night.

STU: I watched it on Blaze TV last night. It airs on YouTube tonight.

But, you know, you guys went into -- every -- every topic. Any questions he didn't -- you know, he didn't think he wanted to go to or wasn't comfortable with. Is there anything that he was off-limits? Anything like that?

No. He was joking with me. He was going across the hallway. He said, after the interview, he said no. Try to be kind to me.

Well, if you don't, I'll just say, he's over. He's worthless. He'll do whatever you want.
(laughter)

But, no. There was nothing. In fact, we didn't -- you know, we wouldn't. And we didn't give him any indication. Other than it was about the 100 days. And everything that's gone down the last 100 days and were coming.

So that's pretty broad. He said a few things.

And I want to give I one of them here. We were talking about the tariffs.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I said, you know, how do you negotiate, when you have a group of elites like the WEF. When you have China who is against you.

And the world trade -- or, the World Economic Forum.

All the elites in England.

That are -- they're fine with the great, Great Reset. How do you negotiate with people who don't mind blowing the whole thing up?

Listen to this.

DONALD: I don't have to negotiate. I don't have to negotiate. I'm talking to people out of respect. But I don't have to. So we're this giant store that people want to come in and buy bye from. We're the United States. We have the richest consumer, et cetera, et cetera. Right?

But we're not going to be that way for long if we do something. But we're this giant store, and they all want to come in and take our product. But to take our product, they are going to have to pay.

And we will either make a deal with them, or we will just set a price. Because some countries are worse than others. Some countries have ripped us off really badly, and some countries have just ripped us off a little bit, but almost all of them have ripped us off. Because we've had really poor leadership. And what's going to happen, is we're going to negotiate -- we are negotiating with 70 different countries. But we're negotiating. We're showing great respect. But in the end, we may make deals. But either that, or I just set a price. I said, here's what you will pay for the privilege of servicing the United States of America.

And they have an option. They can maybe talk to me a little bit. Or they can not jump.

You know, they don't have to shop at this big store. Or they can shop.

But in any event, they will have to pay. Look, we owe 36 trillion for a reason.

The reason is: The trade. Also, the endless wars, the stupid wars that we fought. We're going to the Middle East. We blow up. We leave. We don't get anything.

And you're a big fan of exactly what I'm saying. I mean, let's not do this. Let's not do that.

It's stupid. Endless wars. Endless wars. That they don't even want us. You know, we got into wars. They didn't even want us.

So all of that stuff. You know, when I left four years ago, you know, we had no wars. We had no Israel and Hamas. And, by the way, it would have never happened. Because their enemies were broke.

They were broke.

I have sanctions so strong on Iran.

They were totally broke. They had no money for Hamas and Hezbollah. We didn't have Russia-Ukraine. That would have never happened by the way. We didn't have the Afghanistan embarrassment. One of the great embarrassments in the history of our country.

We didn't have any inflation. Don't forget, I charged China hundreds of billions worth of tariffs. They talk about inflation. We had no inflation.

Because that doesn't cause inflation.

Stupidity causes inflation. High energy causes inflation. When they took over my energy -- we were making it like nobody has ever seen.

GLENN: I know.

DONALD: And then the prices doubled. By the way, because of that, Putin went in. You see what's going on now. It's going down.

GLENN: Yeah, I do.

DONALD: It makes it much harder for Putin to prosecute the war.

GLENN: It was fascinating.

We talked about a few things.

Judicial insurrection. Was one of them!

Another pretty strong response on that one, as well.

SNEAK PEEK: Glenn Gives a Tour of the Roosevelt Room in the White House

Ahead of his First 100 Days interview with President Trump, Glenn gives an exclusive tour of the Roosevelt Room: Theodore Roosevelt’s Nobel Peace Prize and Medal of Honor, Barack Obama’s private papers, and the legendary doorknobs that Trump installed in the White House.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Tells the INCREDIBLE Story of Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla, and His Uncle

Immediately after his First 100 Days interview with President Trump, Glenn knew he had to ask one more question, even if it was off the record: How incredible is it that Trump is working with today’s Nikola Tesla, Elon Musk, when Trump's uncle was the man put in charge of sifting through Tesla’s files when he died?! But instead of having a private conversation, Trump decided to let Glenn’s audience hear the story too …

Why President Trump Is NOT "Negotiating" with Global Elites | First 100 Days | Glenn TV | Ep 429

In just his first 100 days in office, President Trump has moved faster to fix America than anyone expected. He created the DOGE, shut the border down, dismantled USAID and its wasteful spending, and put the world on notice that it can’t take advantage of America any more. But there’s still much more to do, and Americans have questions about what’s next. Glenn sits down with the president in the Roosevelt Room of the White House for his first one-on-one interview about his first 100 days. Glenn asks Trump what the real goal of his tariffs is, whether Elon Musk is really stepping back from the DOGE, whether Mexico is a failed narco-state, what his plans are for the cartels, and how he may react to the “judicial insurrection” of judges blocking his deportation orders. Trump also reveals his game-changing plans for AI and American energy, why he’s not “negotiating” with Europe or the world, whether Putin or Zelenskyy has been easier to deal with, and why he believes Glenn will “be surprised” by congressional Republicans soon.

►BONUS CONTENT: See my exclusive tour of the Roosevelt Room and don’t miss President Trump’s extended interview, where he shares how his uncle—once the government’s go-to expert on Nikola Tesla’s files—is now connected to today’s Tesla, Elon Musk.
