Glenn Beck: Obama wrecks Asians

June 17, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program



GLENN: Oh, I am so glad that we have change on the way, and here's the kind of change that we can expect. This is good stuff. Are you ready? Play Jimmy Kimmel, please. Here's the first cut, Jimmy Kimmel. This is the cut that everybody has talked about with him, you know, replacing the bowling alley in the White House. Here it is.

KIMMEL: Should you become President, will you replace the current President's bouncy Castle with a bass at the time ball court at the White House?

SENATOR OBAMA: I hear there's a bowling alley. So we're getting rid of the bowling alley in the White House.

GLENN: Stop just a second. Is it possible that this guy could actually win the election before he starts redecorating the White House? Is it possible that maybe he drops the arrogance just a little bit? I mean, I know he's going to win, but can you wait for those plans? "Yeah, I've got the architectural drawings right here. This is what we're going to..." the second thing that comes to mind on this one, if we really are changing the bowling alley to a basketball court or putting in a basketball court, isn't the time for -- well, let me just ask you this. Did the government pay for your basketball court? Because they are not paying for my basketball court to be put in at my house and I know the President is different but, you know, we've got tennis courts, we have everything else. Can't we just put a hoop there? Let's just get a drill and put a basketball backboard and a hoop there some place, you know, in the front. I mean, it will cost us like 100 bucks. I'm willing to send him a backboard and a hoop. Maybe it's just me. How much is that going to cost us?

All right. So this is the thing that everybody talked about, that, oh, basketball, blah, blah, blah. There's two other things in this interview and the reason why this is news is because it's not news. Listen to this.

KIMMEL: Your high school team in Hawaii was won the state championship, which is pretty impressive. Can you dunk a basketball?

SENATOR OBAMA: You know, there's pretty good basketball in Hawaii but the only thing is since obviously there are a lot of folks from Asian ancestry in Hawaii, generally the teams aren't as tall.

GLENN: So hold on just a second. What is he implying there? Hey, Joe. Is Joe still here? Joe, come here. You're Asian descent. How tall are you? How tall are you, Joe? It's on. How tall are you?

JOE: 5' 11".

GLENN: That's not real short, is it? You're from Asian descent. I didn't know that you were -- I didn't recognize you as short person. Are you offended by that, Joe?

JOE: Honestly, no. I mean, I heard it and didn't, didn't do anything.

GLENN: See, this is really the -- this is the thing. This is the reaction that all of these comments should have. All of the comments like this should have this kind of reaction: Silence from the press. It's out of comedy show, for the love of Pete. It's on a comedy show, and he says something that is true. Generally speaking people of Asian descent are shorter.

Now, I wonder if I'm going to get in trouble for saying that. This is the way the game is played now in America. I wonder if I could say that. Can you imagine if I were on Good Morning America and I said, you can't get any good basketball in Hawaii, nobody's dunking in Hawaii, please. People from Asian descent, they are all short. Can you imagine the uproar if I said that? Changity, changity, change. Here's the change, gang. He can say things that no one else can. Barack Obama over the weekend gave a speech that has been heralded as one of the greatest speeches of all time. Oh, parents from coast to coast are hearing it. Finally it's being said. Bill Cosby's been saying the same thing forever. Bill Cosby is a pariah. Why is it Bill Cosby is a pariah and Barack Obama is not? Why is that? Because Barack Obama has the media behind him. That's why. It is -- you want to talk about change, this is the change that's coming: Do as I say, not as I do. The standards are completely different for Barack Obama than any other American. There is no other.

You want to talk about a level playing field, there is no level playing field here. This guy is at the very top of the playing field. It's a steep climb, but he is on the very top of the political correct playing field. He can say whatever he wants to say and no one questions him.

Last night Al Gore endorsed Barack Obama. Do you have a little bit of the Al Gore? Here's Al Gore endorsing. Now, remember Al Gore, the man who wants to get rid of the combustion engine. And don't think he's not serious. The man who wants to get rid of the combustion engine. Finally Al Gore has a candidate -- because really remember he only cares about one thing: Global warming, because we're all going to die in that fiery flood. The polar bears will be long gone. Oh, we will wish for their fur as we try to cover ourselves from the frigid icy hot temperatures that could happen at any time. Here's Al Gore last night.

GORE: In looking back over the last eight years, I can tell you that we have already learned one important fact since the year 2000. Take it from me. Elections matter. After the last eight years, even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter.

GLENN: I'm going to get into that speech here in just a second, but first I just wanted you to hear the audio. Al Gore finally has somebody -- remember Al Gore is just a friend of the planet. That's all he cares about, this nonsense has to stop. We have to stop dividing each other. We have to care about the planet. We must reduce our carbon footprint. Let me ask you this question: Why would Al Gore, a man who only cares about reducing a carbon footprint, why would Al Gore endorse a man that two days before said this on Jimmy Kimmel.

KIMMEL: When you have these games, who do you play with? Is your brother-in-law involved in the games?

SENATOR OBAMA: No, he's been traveling so much during recruiting, he hasn't played much. But I've got a bunch of guys who will a lot of times fly in and they will play with us, good friends of mine.

GLENN: Wait a minute. Hold it just a second. Your good friends will fly in to play basketball with you? Your -- excuse me, Mr. Candidate, Mr. Green candidate, Mr. Al Gore loves me, we're all going to die, we need cap and trade, gas prices should be this high or higher, as long as they rise slowly because people will stop consuming so much evil oil? Your friends fly in to play basketball? You're kidding me, right? I thought we were all going to die -- oh, why do you hate polar bears so much? Why do you hate polar bears and Asians as much as you do? I don't understand it. Yet, you don't hear anything.

Imagine in the same interview where I said on Good Morning America, you can't get any good basketball in Hawaii. Come on, there's too many people from Asian descent there, they're too short, they can't dunk the ball. Imagine the outrage. And then in the same interview within two minutes, I also said, yeah, I just, I'm so busy. I have all of my friends fly in to play pickup basketball games with me. Can you imagine what the left would say about me? Changity, changity, change. Oh, it's coming. We don't have to hope for it. It's coming. It's fantastic, isn't it?

Trump to Glenn Beck: I REJECTED Milley's plan to leave military equipment in Afghanistan, and 'I GUARANTEE that's what happened to Biden'

For the first time in the history of "The Glenn Beck Program," former President Donald Trump joined Glenn to give his take on America's direction under President Joe Biden compared to his own administration. He explained why Biden's horrific Afghanistan withdrawal was "not even a little bit" like his plan, and why he thinks it was "the most embarrassing event in the history of our country."

Plus, the former president gave his opinion on China's potential takeover of Bagram Air Base, the Pakistani Prime Minister, and Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Glenn asked President Trump how similar the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan was to his administration's plan.

"Not even a little bit," Trump answered. "We had a great plan, but it was a very tenuous plan. It was based on many conditions. For instance, you can't kill American soldiers. ... You have to understand, I did want to get out. But I wanted to get out with dignity, and I wanted to take our equipment out. And I didn't want soldiers killed. ... What [Biden] did was just indefensible. He took the military out first and he left all the people. And then we became beggars to get the people out. I had a plan to get them out very quickly. But first, the Americans would go out."

Trump told Glenn that his plan included maintaining Bagram Air Base and explained why he would not have left "a single nail" behind in Afghanistan for the Taliban to seize.

"We were going to keep Bagram open," he explained. "We were never going to close that because, frankly, Bagram is more about China than it is about Afghanistan. It was practically on the other border of China. And now we've lost that. And you know who is taking it over? China is taking it over. We spend $10 billion to build that base. It's got the longest, most powerful runways in the world. And China has now got its representatives there and it looks like they'll take it over. Glenn, it's not believable what's happened. You know, they have Apache helicopters. These are really expensive weapons, and they have 28 of them. And they're brand-new. The latest model."

Glenn mentioned recent reports that Gen. Milley, America's top military officer, made "secret phone calls" to his counterpart in China while President Trump was in office.

"I learned early on that he was a dope," Trump said of Gen. Milley. "He made a statement to me — and I guarantee that's what happened to Biden — because I said, 'We're getting out of Afghanistan. We have to do it.' And I said, 'I want every nail. I want every screw. I want every bolt. I want every plane. I want every tank. I want it all out, down to the nails, screws, bolts ... I want every single thing. And he said, 'Sir, it's cheaper to leave it than it is to bring it.'

"The airplane might have cost $40 million, $50 million ... millions and millions of dollars. So, you think it's cheaper to leave it than to have 200 pilots fly over and fly all the equipment out? ... I said, you've got to be nuts. I mean, give me a tank of gas and a pilot and I just picked up a $40 million-dollar airplane. It was amazing. So, I learned early that this guy is a dope. But what he did, is he hurt our country ... and he shouldn't have been allowed to do it. And bad things should happen to him."

Glenn Beck EXPLODES after Pelosi admits to Uyghur 'GENOCIDE' in China — but adds climate is 'overriding issue'

In a shocking but underreported conversation ahead of the G7 Speakers' meeting in London last week, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted that the administration knows China is committing "genocide" against the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region, but thinks working with the regime on climate change is more important.

On the radio program, an outraged Glenn Beck dissected Pelosi's speech and broke down how — along with the Biden administration's abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan, and the Democrat decision to follow measures of medical "equity" — the far left is revealing how little they really care about human life.

Glenn played a video clip of Pelosi making the following statement:

We've always felt connected to China, but with their military aggression in the South China Sea, with their continuation of genocide with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang province there, with their violation of the cultural, linguistic, religious priority of Tibet, with their suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and other parts of China, as well – they're just getting worse in terms of suppression, and freedom of speech. So, human rights, security, economically [sic].

Having said all of that ... we have to work together on climate. Climate is an overriding issue and China is the leading emitter in the world, the U.S. too and developed world too, but we must work together.

"We have Nancy Pelosi admitting the United States of America knows that they're not only committing [genocide], they're continuing to commit it. Which means, we've known for a while," Glenn noted. "And what does she say? She goes on to say, yes, they're committing genocide against the Uyghurs, but having said that, I'm quoting, 'the overriding issue,' is working together on climate change.

"Would we have worked with Hitler on climate change? Would we have worked with Hitler on developing the bomb? Would we have worked with Hitler on developing the Autobahn? Would we have worked with Hitler on his socialized medicine? Would we have worked with Hitler on any of his national, socialist ideas?" he asked.

"The answer is no. No. When you're committing genocide, no! She said 'we have to work together on climate,' because climate is the 'overriding issue.' The overriding issue? There is no way to describe this mindset. That, yes, they are killing an entire group of people because of their ethnicity or religion. They are systematically rounding them up, using them for slave labor, and killing them, using their organs and selling them on the open market. They are nothing more than cattle. For us to recognize it and do nothing about it is bad enough. But to say, 'we recognize it, but we have bigger things to talk to them about,' is a horror show."

Glenn went on to urge Americans to "stand up together in love, peace, and harmony," or risk watching our nation become the worst plague on human life yet.

Glenn Beck WARNS: The economy is changing and 'you are not going to recognize the American lifestyle'

Image source: Video screenshot

The fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008 marked the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history and economic collapse was felt throughout the world. But now China's own version of Lehman Brothers, Evergrande, is teetering closer and closer to that edge, too. On the radio program Thursday, Glenn Beck gave the latest update and predicted how it will affect Asian markets and what it could mean for America's economy.

Glenn explained why he believes a major collapse that is happening now in China will have a cascading effect into a "controlled collapse," a managed decline that will dramatically change America's economy and the way we all live.

"You will not recognize your lifestyle. Hear me," Glenn warned. "And that's not a right-left thing. That's a right-wrong thing. We're on the wrong track. I'm telling you now, there's new information and you are not going to recognize the American lifestyle. ... It could happen tomorrow. It could happen in five years from now, but it will happen. We are headed for a very different country. One where you don't have the rights that you have. And you certainly don't have the economic privileges that Americans are used to."

"The same thing that happened in 2008 is now happening in China," Glenn continued. "This time, it's going to take everything down. When it collapses, it will take everything down."

'Do you understand, America, what that means?': World Economic Forum publishes SHOCKING Great Reset strategy

Justin Haskins, editorial director of the Heartland Institute, joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to expose a shocking conversation between two Great Reset proponents — Klaus Schwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank (Europe's equivalent to the Fed).

The way Schwab and Lagarde discuss the role central banks should play in establishing societal norms, determining your way of life, and defending against potential crisis is proof that the Great Reset is upon us, Justin explained. And the scariest part is that they're not even trying to hide it. The entire, unbelievable conversation has been published on the WEF website, which you can read here.

Glenn read an excerpt from the conversation:

Christine Lagarde: At the ECB, we have now wrapped up and concluded our strategy review, which was the first one in 17 years. And I was blessed to have an entire Governing Council unanimously agree that the fight against climate change should be one of the considerations that we take when we determine monetary policy. So at least the European Central Bank is of the view that climate change is an important component in order to decide on monetary policy. ...

Can we arrive at that trade-off between fighting climate change, preserving biodiversity and yet securing enough growth to respond to legitimate demands of the population? And my first answer, Klaus, to be firm, is that to have a way of life, we need life. And in the medium term, we do have major threats on the horizon that could cause the death of hundreds of thousands of people. So we have to think life, first. We have to think way of life, second. ...

So we have to think life, first. We have to think way of life, second. How can we come together to make sure that we secure the first priority, which is life, and also protect the way of life that people have? And make sure that the cost of it is not so high for some people, that they just cannot tolerate it. I think that the trade-off that we reach will probably require some redistribution, because it is clear that the most exposed people, the less privileged people are those that are going to need some help.

"Do you understand, America, what that means?" Glenn exclaimed. "You have elites, that you never elected, that are having these meetings ... deciding what is a legitimate need for you. And telling you that your needs are going to go away in your lifetime. You may not see a time where you get wants again. Just your needs are going to be addressed. Am I reading this wrong?"

"This is absolutely what is being said here," Justin agreed. "She's very clear that we need to make sure that way of life is second to life. We have to save all these people, hundreds of thousands of people are going to die from this supposedly existential threat of climate change. And their wants, and their desires, and their quality of living, all of that has to come second."

"This is a central bank saying this. This is not an elected official, who is accountable directly to the people. This is a central bank saying, we're going to print money. We're going to use monetary policy, to impose these ideas, to rework society in order to accomplish our goals," Justin added, addressing Lagarde's call for "some redistribution."

Will Great Reset elites — not elected by the U.S. — soon be dictating to the rest of the world? Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn and Justin break it down:
