Glenn's Show Prep

BLOGNovember 29, 2017

Black Lives Matter Is Organizing ‘Black Christmas.’ Here’s What That Means.

A California professor has called for Black Lives Matter supporters to continue a “Black Xmas” tradition of supporting black businesses and boycotting “white capitalism.”

“We say ‘white capitalism’ because it’s important that we understand that the economic system and the racial structures are connected,” said Dr. Melina Abdullah, a professor at California State University-Los Angeles and a national BLM leader.

Sitting in for Glenn on today’s show, Pat and Stu talked about how the BLM movement has gone far beyond protesting police brutality.

This article provided courtesy of TheBlaze.

PAT: You deserve to be vilified and your life destroyed? I don't think so. Also, Black Lives Matter is organizing something really wonderful. You might not have the best opinion of Black Lives Matter, but I think when you hear this, it will change your mind.

Black Lives Matter is organizing black Christmas.

STU: Ooh.

PAT: Where black people only buy from other black people and ignore white businesses or places that are run by white people.

STU: So it's like --

PAT: They're trying to divest from white corporations and white capitalism.

STU: Oh, thank God.

PAT: Yeah. And that's not racism. I don't want you to start your right-wing kookery and start jumping to racism. Because they're not capable of racism.

STU: I did have a thought, Pat, and I must admit this, that it does seem like -- what do they call it? Segregation.

PAT: Uh-huh.

STU: Like if you were to buy only from people in your own race and only deal with people in your own race, that seems like you might be segregating yourselves.

PAT: Yes. But, again, it's fine. Because it's Black Lives Matter doing it. So black people segregate themselves, that's only because they want to. If white people start segregating themselves, that's because they're evil and racist and hateful.

STU: Wouldn't it be better to try to advance a society where you don't care about skin color. And you wouldn't make your decisions based on skin color. Or either way.

PAT: That's cute. That's so quaint.

STU: But it was something that Martin Luther King kind of argued --

PAT: Yeah. When he said you should pay attention to the color of people's skin, not the content of their character, when he said that, I kind of cheered. Yeah. That's right.

STU: Because I think he said the opposite. I'm pretty sure. You would think it was -- it was the opposite of what he actually said. Because these people are being applauded for, you know, supporting black businesses. But if a white person had started this, they would be a white supremacist. They would be a racist. They would be a member of the KKK. They're Neo-Nazis.

STU: And people would attack them. And people would be right.

PAT: Yeah, they would be right.

STU: They would be right to do that. I wouldn't go to a business. I would not deal -- and, you know, I would not -- if I knew a restaurant I went to every day a bunch of white supremacists were behind it, I wouldn't go, right?

PAT: Yes.

STU: I wouldn't want to be part of that. We said this before. If a bakery really says, you know what, I don't want any gays in here, as several have been caught saying -- doing this about Trump supporters and other groups on the conservative side, Christians, that's happened -- but any group -- if a bakery -- were like, you know what, we don't want to serve gay people, no. I would never go to that bakery. Never.

PAT: Right.

STU: Never. Despite if they had like really delicious, moist red velvet. Even if they had that, I still wouldn't go.

PAT: What if they had Diet Coke?

STU: I do like Diet Coke.

PAT: And it was the last place you could buy Diet Coke.

STU: Well, then my rights are being violated. I have a constitutional right to aspartame that is protected --

PAT: The 29th amendment, I believe?

STU: Twenty-ninth amendment. Absolutely. If a bakery was like, you know what, we're not serving Jews, you would be like, get out.

PAT: You would be outraged.

STU: I'm never going to that place. And they would likely go out of business if they had a stance like that. But the idea that you would go and only support someone of your own race is a terrible idea, a terrible idea.

PAT: But one of the Black Lives leaders, and she's also a professor at Cal State University, Malina Abdula said, we say white capitalism because it's important that we understand that the economic system and the racial structures are connected.

We have to not only disrupt the systems of policing that literally kill our people, but we have to disrupt the white supremacist capitalist patriarchal heteronormativity system that is really the root cause of these police killings.

I think it's important to realize that Black Lives Matter has gone so far beyond the black people who have been killed by police. I mean, now it's -- to the very economic system of the United States of America. Wow.

STU: Yeah.

PAT: And now it's about heteronormativity standards. And it's about patriarchy. What is that?

STU: These things change, right?

We've talked to people who are in Black Lives Matter who don't believe those things.

PAT: But the leadership certainly does.

STU: But the leadership does. Whatever that leadership is. And many of them, as is typical with movements in the left, it always comes back to the three or four things. Socialism, communism, aborting children.

PAT: Sure does. Yep.

STU: There's three or four things that it always comes back to. And all of this -- even like -- you might say, well, it always comes back to something like global warming. Now, global warming is the other way. Global warming is a cause to get to the end. It's a means. And it is well, that global warming thing gets back to, you know, the same thing, of government control and taking money from people to do what the government seems to -- it's progressivism. That doesn't mean that everyone who believes in global warming, or is an environmentalist is like that. It's certainly not true. But it's a big part of it. And it needs to be called out. And you can't act like just because the initial motivation, right or wrong, was a positive thing. We want to protect black people from being shot unfairly. That is an absolutely positive initial ideal.

PAT: That everyone is on board with.

STU: Yeah. Everybody is.

PAT: Black, white, Hispanic, it doesn't matter. We're all on board with that.

STU: Then it goes into some that are maybe justified shootings that we're going to protest. Then it turns into every cop is really bad. Then it turns into Colin Kaepernick who is kneeling during the anthem with his pig socks and his Che shirt. And like, wait a minute. Where did we get to?

They try to make you, if you oppose what Colin Kaepernick does as a protest and you think it's a dumb protest, even though he would have the right to do it if he could stay on the actual field and keep a job, you know, they make it seem like you're against that initial cause.

We all don't -- it's nothing to do with black people. I don't want anyone shot when they're not supposed to be shot. Ever. It should never happen. It will happen occasionally. And when it does, there needs to be justice behind that.

But, you know, this is -- this is kind of where these things go. You know, the NFL players are like, well, what are you talking about? We had this -- all we're saying, we're standing up for injustice. That has nothing to do with protesting the country. Protesting the military. Then do it at any other minute of the day.

PAT: Right.

STU: Then kneel at -- during any one of the other 23 hours and 59 minutes that the anthem isn't playing. And you know who will have a problem with that? Pretty much nobody.

PAT: Very true. And they keep saying it's not about the anthem and it's not about the country. Well, that runs contrary to what Colin Kaepernick, the founder of this movement said. It was about the anthem, and it is about the country. To Colin Kaepernick, it was.

STU: Yeah. But we're supposed to take all of their best intentions. The best way you can take anything that Black Lives Matter does. For example, they want to only buy from black businesses, and they want to essentially racially segregate themselves to only do business with their own race.

And what we're supposed to take from that is, well, they're good people, and they just want to help other blacks. And, you know, look, they've had some -- they've been oppressed in the past, and we should support their efforts, to only buy from people with the same skin color as them.

PAT: Unbelievable.

STU: No. You should never make a decision based on skin color. That comes from racism. That comes from what we're talking about with Black Lives Matter. And it comes from giving free money at college to a black person over a white person because they're black. It should never ever be part of your decision-making process. That is the absence of racism.

Democrats think their INSANE Trump rants are GOLD

The Democrats need new material, and they know it! In just recent weeks, Democrats have compared the Trump administration to the Handmaid’s Tale, Nazi Germany, the Iranian theocratic regime, and, of course, a stooge of Russia. But meanwhile, the DNC has blacklisted woke terms. Glenn and Stu take a look at the insanity…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, the Democrats are just losing all kinds of credibility. And people are switching parties. Like they've never switched away from the Democratic Party before.

And here's why: Everybody's favorite Congresswoman Crockett on the DC crime crackdown.
Listen to this.

VOICE: ICE, for the most part, is nothing but a ride. That's all they were supposed to do for the most part, right? Is like, you know what, this person is undocumented, or this person reentered the country illegally. All the things, and then they have ICE holds. And then ICE gets them. So they can -- that's all ICE is supposed to do.

Look at them for a fancy Uber driver for immigrants. That's all they're supposed to do. And they're falling all over each other, injuring each other. Like, we are a joke.
(laughter)

STU: She's awesome.

GLENN: She's with Gavin Newsom. She's fabulous. Can we go to cut three? Here she is on the crime crackdown.

VOICE: Tell me what it's like in DC. Tell me what you think this is really all about.

VOICE: So it's very dystopian to see. It's funny because I used to watch the handmade's tale. And I can't, right?

I never finished. And I can't watch it, because it is too close to reality.

STU: Oh, yeah.

VOICE: And so what we're seeing is this militarization.

And obviously, it started in your state. That was kind of the testing grounds. Going to your state. Going to a black woman, mayor city.

First. And now, you're in yet another black woman-led city.

GLENN: Uh-huh. That's why he's doing it.

VOICE: And taking over. To me, it's going again to the level of racism and hate. That is constantly seen --

STU: Shocking she went there. Wow. What a stunning twist.

That's like M. Night Shyamalan. I would never expect her to go to a racial claim.

GLENN: I know. I know.

Now, let's go to Pritzker, the governor from Illinois.

And what he has to say, about what's going on.

STU: Must we?

VOICE: I built a Holocaust museum, and one thing about that experience that I can tell you when I got the Holocaust survivors for more than a decade to build this museum.

One thing I learned in the process of that, is that it doesn't take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic.

And the Nazis did it in 53 days.

GLENN: No.

VOICE: And our democracy is almost fragile.

GLENN: Started in 1922.

GLENN: And we're seeing it right now. Yes. Who has been tearing it apart, you fat? Anyway. So now we're pre-Nazi Germany, according to him.

Uber drivers. ICE. It's the Handmade's Tale in -- in Washington, DC. It's pre-Nazi Germany in Illinois. And here comes Stacey Abrams to help us with more.

Cut six.

VOICE: I want to tie this back to the abundance agenda. And how you think about blue state power.

If it is true, that he's a grand ayatollah. That mystical power extends. And can be, you know -- he can anoint his -- you know, his profits.

And he can remain this --

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Stop.

STU: It's so good.

GLENN: So we are now -- he is now the ayatollah.

He's Hitler.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: In the handmade's tale. Who is also the mystical ayatollah, who is appointing new prophets.

STU: We have said, it's a lot of energy, Glenn. It's a lot of different roles to pull off.

GLENN: He does. He is covering a lot.

Now, he has also tried to make peace. But Susan Rice, with all of her deep, deep credibility, has something to say about that.

VOICE: It's pathetic. It's been clearly and repeatedly established. Including bit bipartisan Senate intelligence community. Led by Marco Rubio. Did Russia interfere in the 2016 election by disinformation campaigns. By social media efforts. By all sorts of means, short of manipulating the actual vote.

GLENN: She's still pushing it.

VOICE: And that's just a fact now. Obviously, Donald Trump does not like that fact. He does not like the fact that the intelligence community. And the Senate bipartisan intelligence community assessed that this interference was intended to --

GLENN: Stop. Stop. Stop.

STU: Unreal. I can't --

GLENN: How is this still happening?

With no pushback, from what was it? ABC or NBC.

No pushback from NBC. None. Zero.

All of the documentation has come out nap shows she was part of the conspiracy.

She was part of it. She was a ringleader in this. It's now showing all the documents. The facts. There are -- there's this -- this little fantasy, that the Deep State has been pushing.

And then there are the actual documents, written to and by people like Susan Rice, showing, this was all made up!

Wow! So wow.

And that -- and that strange Hitler mystical ayatollah.

STU: And handmade's tale.

GLENN: And handmade's tale. Guy who wants everybody dressed in red robes. Cannot get that stopped. That is so very weird. So weird.

STU: Glenn, you've worked with charities for a long time. You've founded your own. Almost incredible work around the globe.

Would you consider potentially putting together a fundraiser for the Democrats to come up with another literary reference, than the handmade's tale?

Is it possible, we give them a different book, just so they can say that title of it?

Now, I know Jasmine Crockett is, of course, so stupid, she couldn't even act like she read the book.

She only said she was watching the Hulu show. But still, can we get them some reference other than the handmade's tale.

GLENN: Well, they're already doing it. They're already doing it.

When you talk about literary stuff, they're already doing it. Here we go, you ready?

They have now. The DNC has now blacklisted terms that they don't want any of their people using. Okay?

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: Now, tell me what these terms have in common.

Blacklisted terms. Privilege. Violence. As in, environmental violence.

Dialoguing.

Triggering. Othering. Microaggression. Holding space. Body shaming. Subverting norms. Systems of oppression. Cultural appropriation. The Overton window. Existential threat to the climate.
Existential threat to democracy. Existential threat to the economy. Radical transparency. Stakeholders. The unhoused. Food insecurity. Housing insecurity. People who immigrated. Birthing person. Cysgender. Dead naming. Heteronormative. Patriarchy. LGBTQIA+. BIPOC, allyship, incarcerated people, and involuntary confinement. Those are the words that the Democrats are now telling their people, don't use any of these words. Those are the words that he forced everybody to use!
(laughter)
So they are reading from a new book. They're just burning their own book.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: It is absolutely incredible, what is happening right now! Just absolutely nuts.

STU: I don't see how they're going to get through conversations without those words.

Those are the only words they say.

GLENN: I know. I know.

I could just add -- I could just add some conjunctions in there. And I could make that into a speech.

Is America LOSING the space race to China?play icon
THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Is America LOSING the space race to China?

For the first time in decades, America has a true competitor in space—and it’s China. Glenn Beck sits down with astronaut and entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to uncover the sobering truth: China is advancing faster than anyone wants to admit. From building 6th-generation fighters to preparing for a moon landing as early as 2028, Beijing is seizing the high ground of space while the United States remains bogged down in bureaucracy and misplaced priorities. With over $100 billion already spent and no return to the moon, NASA risks falling behind in a race that defines technological power, national defense, and the future of humanity. Are we heading for another “Sputnik moment”—and will America even wake up this time?

The eye-opening meeting: George W. Bush's deep state secret

Glenn Beck recalls the eye-opening meeting he had when George W. Bush called him into the White House. After tearing into Glenn with a profanity-laden rant, Bush revealed a secret about the Deep State and presidents that was meant to calm Glenn’s nerves. It did the exact opposite…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I was in -- during the -- was it, 2007, 2008 election?
I went to the White House. Because I was called on the carpet by George W. Bush. Because I was not happy with -- with the war. And the way it was going.

And I had made some comment about, I don't remember even what it was. But I made some comment on the air, that, you know, hey, left. You want to impeach him. Here's the thing you impeach him on.

Because this is actually impeachable.

And that didn't sit well with the Bush administration. They didn't like that. And I get a call on the way home from the studios. And it's the White House. And is this the first time the White House had ever called me, without me reaching out first. And I get a call. And it's a 202 number. And I'm like, it's 1414. 202. I can't remember. 458 or something. 1414. And I remember 202. That's Washington, DC. And 1414, I remember, that's the number of the White House.

And I look at it for a while. And I'm like, I think that's the White House. And I pick it up.

Mr. Beck?

Yes. The president would like to see you in the Oval tomorrow morning at 10:00.

Now, I'm on the morning at 10 o'clock in the morning. Do you think you could make that -- I didn't even know what to say. I literally held the phone away from my head. I'm driving. And I look at the phone. And I look at the road. And I don't even know what to say.

And I'm just -- you know, I said, well, hang on. Let me check. I check.

And I put the phone back up against my ear, and I said, okay. It looks good. Yeah. I can be there.

Hang up the phone.

It was freaky. I get there, and the first thing the president says -- I sit in the chair, in the Zelinsky chair. And the first thing the president says to me is -- and laced with profanity. You know, a lot of people think they know how they could be the F-ing president. Well, they have no idea how to be the F-ing president.

I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is going to be the longest hour of my life.

And he read me the Riot Act.

After it was all over and he had it out of his system, we stood up at the end, and it was the day that Barack Obama had said that if he were president, he would just fly our planes over the border into Pakistan. And he would just bomb Pakistan.

Well, this is a point where Pakistan is kind of helping us, okay? They're not our friends. They're more frenemies. But they're kind of helping us at this point. And he says, Barack Obama says -- and if he would have done that, the whole -- the whole coalition of the willing, all of that crap would have gone right out the window.

And so I said to the president as I'm walking out, he's standing by the Oval. Or by the Resolute Desk. And I said, Mr. President, I don't know if you heard this, but today, Barack Obama -- he said, oh, I heard about that. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.

I said, okay.

He said, trust me, Glenn, whoever comes into this office, no matter which party they're in, they are going to sit behind this desk, and they're going to realize, because they're going to be advised by exactly the same people that have been advising me, that they really have no choice. This is what they have to do.

And he said, have a good day.

And I'm like holy cow! I walked out. And I -- do you remember me calling you after that, Stu?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: And I was freaked out. I was like, this is not good.

The president isn't really the president! The president is just listening to all these advisers, who are in, advising the last president. And the president before that. And it's all State Department stuff.

And they're just -- they're just suiting a long plan. What difference does it make who we have in the office, if that's true, remember that?

STU: Yeah. One specific part of that, that you didn't mention was -- because he was very angry at you. But that part of the conversation was meant to make you feel good, right?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: It wasn't like an anger thing. It was like a, hey, it's okay! Calm down. All of the decisions will remain the same. And it's like, that didn't calm you down much.

GLENN: No. It made it worse.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: And so why do I bring this story up, which I've told before. Why do I bring this story up?

I bring this story up because when Donald Trump sat at the table and said, just going to get old Vlad on the phone. And he stands up, walks out of the room. With all the world leaders.

And he just picks up the phone and calls Vladimir Putin. And says, hey. I mean, want to keep you up to speed on what's going on.

He didn't ask for permission.

He didn't have anybody whispering in his ear. He's leading the State Department. He's leading the world.

He's keeping his own counsel. That hasn't been done by a president in, I don't know how long. And it's why we're once again the leaders of the world!

Because these -- these advisers, all of these doctors and professors and, you know, people who have been in the State Department their whole life and know better than everybody, Donald Trump has said to them, shut up. I've seen your record. It doesn't work!

We've been doing it for 100 years. We're losing credibility. We're losing money. We're losing power and influence.

I don't want to hear it! This is the direction we're going. And he didn't have the juice to be able to fire all of those people, last time.

And he put the wrong people in position. Now, at the State Department is Rubio.

And I've got to tell you, Rubio is one of the last guys I would have picked. I would have thought, Rubio was a big, big globalist.

Look at who Rubio has turned out to be.

So the two things that are happening, are really -- are really based on one thing. And that is, the president of the United States is in charge of his administration.

The president of the United States keeps his own counsel. The president of the United States listens to the -- his own gut. For the first time that I have seen since Ronald Reagan -- and Ronald Reagan did it in one place, and that was the Soviet Union. He knew the difference between good and evil, and he called it, and he didn't care what anybody said.

Donald Trump is doing this in -- in example after example after example. He's keeping his own counsel. And he is telling his people: This is what I'm going to do. Find the Constitutional way to do it.

Because this is what has to be done! And he's not taking no for an answer. And he's not kowtowing to the people who have been there forever. Oh, Mr. President, you have to listen to this man.

He's not listening to him. If it doesn't make sense to him, he's not listening to him. And he is not waiting for permission from anyone.

That's the takeaway from this last four days. America is leading, because we actually have a leader who knows who he is, knows what he wants to do, and is not going to take no for an answer, unless it's unconstitutional. He gets it done.

That in six months? That's a remarkable development.

Glenn Beck almost got ATTACKED in DC?!

Glenn Beck has seen firsthand how bad the crime and mental illness on the streets of Washington, D.C. were before President Trump’s crackdown. Glenn tells the story of his last visit to DC, where he was approached by a man who “looked insane.” So, why are some DC Democrats practically begging for MORE crime?!
