Glenn Beck: Shock video

April 08, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program



REPORTER:  Polk County sheriff's office released only a portion of the video.  Believe it or not, they say, it actually gets worse.  In all eight teenagers have been arrested ages 14 to 18 including two boys who allegedly acted as lookouts.  The victims suffered a concussion and damage to her left ear and eye.  Meanwhile Christina Garcia, the mother of one of the girls charged in the attack, says the incident is being overblown and that the victim deserves some of the blame.

GARCIA:  Don't waist your time on MySpace going back and forth talking, right, saying all these nasty things about people.

GLENN:  Stop.  First of all, could you alert Chris Brady?  I want to have this particular video and then the Matt Lauer interview posted on the front page of GlennBeck.com so you can find this.  Here's the mom.  Now, so you have some concept of this, in case you haven't seen it, you have to see the video.  It is one of the -- it will turn your stomach.  The rules have changed in the world.  Our children have changed and it's time we start punishing our children under the new rules that they have created.  And yet once again when you see this video, you will see this girl who does not fight back, you'll see her being shoved into a corner.  They beat her so hard on the couch that she actually went unconscious.  She goes unconscious and she then wakes up and they beat her some more.  For a half an hour they're beating on this girl and here's mom saying, well, maybe you shouldn't run your mouth?  What kind of horrible mom is this?

Do we have the interview now with Matt Lauer?  Matt Lauer this morning had the mother who said, you know, don't go running your mouth, she had her on television -- or he had her on television.  Now, I doubt that she'll go on television yet again because she knew she was in trouble from the very beginning with Matt Lauer.  Listen to the interview.

LAUER:  I just want to make sure I'm characterizing what you said correctly and correct me if I'm wrong.  You think that the police have mishandled this, somehow overblown this case and that the victim deserves some of the blame?  Is that accurate?

GARCIA:  Well, I need to make a correction.  First of all, I do have custody of my daughter, okay?  I want to make that very clear.

GLENN:  Oh, good.  That's very clear.  I'm glad she's cleared that up.

LAUER:  What about the actual, what about the actual beating on tape?  Do you think this has been overblown?

GARCIA:  I didn't say that.

GLENN:  Stop, stop.  Her silence says it all.  There is a delay, Stu?

STU:  Yeah, yeah, there was a delay throughout.  I mean, seemed like she paused even additionally to that delay but there is some delay.

GLENN:  Go ahead.

GARCIA:  I didn't say that.  Mercades, my daughter, warned this girl before she came into the house, the two girls that you have been running your mouth about over MySpace and threatening are in the house; please do not go in the house.  She told her, and there's an eyewitness right next door, an adult that actually heard my daughter tell this girl, please, do not go in the house.

GLENN:  She called the police.

LAUER:  Your daughter lured this young lady, the victim, to this house so that the beating could occur, you say that's absolutely not true?

GARCIA:  No, it's not.  It is not true.

LAUER:  And so how many times during this --

GLENN:  Stu, are you following this?  Is this the house, is this the house the girl who keeps saying don't hit the glass, don't hit the glass, don't hit the shelves, is that the girl?  Is this --

STU:  I think that's --

GLENN:  This mother's house?

STU:  I think so.  And the grandmother lives there as well.  Kind of what I'm getting from this.

GLENN:  So the only one that would say don't hit the shelf, don't hit the glass, don't wreck the shelves is this woman's girl.

STU:  I would think so, yes.

GLENN:  You would think so.  I mean, unless there's a really, really responsible teenager involved in this beating.

STU:  Right.  You're just like --

GLENN:  Hey, hey, let's respect somebody else's property.

STU:  Go ahead, break her eye socket but make sure -- there's nice crystal in there.

GLENN:  There's like a Hummel figurine in there.  Do you know whether or not those things are worth?  I only know because I get on eBay all the time.  When I'm not on FaceBook, I'm on eBay pricing out Hummel figurines.

STU:  It is possible.

GLENN:  It is possible.  I don't know.

STU:  The police will check into that, I'm sure.

GLENN:  If you don't know what we're talking about, in the beating we saw the raw videotape and we'll post that as well on GlennBeck.com.  The raw videotape.  You have to listen to what these kids are saying.  Can you freeze what you have there, Dan, and go to the raw videotape there or not?  You know, let's finish Matt Lauer first.  Then I want to go back to the raw videotape so you can hear what these kids are saying and you will hear what I believe is this woman's daughter saying, don't hit the shelf, don't break any glass.  She's trying to protect the house, not the kid.  And if her daughter was so great, why didn't she call police?  "My daughter tried to warn her."  Okay.  So now there's a beating, she goes unconscious for 30 minutes and then they beat her some more?  You don't call police?  You warn her but then you don't call police?  That doesn't make any sense.  And I have to tell you as I watched this video today, the three of us watched it together, Dan, Stu and I.  We stood there and watched it together and all of our reaction was exactly the same.  If this were my daughter involved, I would personally bring her down to the police department and say, she's all yours; there ain't nobody bailing her out.  I personally, because it obviously, you know, this kind of rage comes from some place, I probably would then be capable of kicking somebody's butt.  If anybody did bail my daughter out, I'd kick their butt.  Don't bail my daughter out, don't try her as a juvenile.  Throw the book at her.  When you see this, you will not believe what animals these children are.  I'm sorry.  It's a -- I'm sorry.  Don't mean to call them children.  What these young adults are.

'They've taken away the symbol of the American flag': Restaurant owner speaks out after being FINED for flying flags on July 4

Terry Trobiani owns Gianelli's Drive Thru in Prairie Grove, Illinois, where he put up a row of American flags for the Fourth of July. But the city claimed he was displaying two of them improperly and issued him a $100 ticket for each flag.

Terry joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to explain what he believes really happened. He told Glenn that, according to city ordinance, the American flag is considered "ornamental" and should therefore have been permitted on a federal holiday. But the city has now classified the flag as a "sign."

"Apparently, the village of Prairie Grove has classified the American flag as a sign and they've taken away the symbol of the American flag," Terry said. "So, as a sign, it falls under their temporary sign ordinance, which prohibits any flying, or any positioning of signs on your property — and now this includes the American flag. [...] The only way I could fly the American flag on my property is if I put it on a permanent 20 to 30-foot flagpole, which they have to permit."

Terry went on to explain how the city is now demanding an apology for his actions, and all after more than a year of small-business crushing COVID restrictions and government mandates.

"COVID was tough," Terry stated. "You know, we're in the restaurant business. COVID was tough on us. We succeeded. We made it through. We cut a lot of things, but we never cut an employee. We paid all our employees. I didn't take a paycheck for a year just to keep our employees on, because it was that important to me to keep things going. And, you know, you fight for a year, and you beat a pandemic, and then you have this little municipality with five trustees and a president, who just have no respect for small businesses. And right now, what I see is they have no respect for the republic and the United States ... I think it's terrible. The direction that government, at all levels, have taken us to this point, it's despicable."

North Korean's URGENT warning: THIS is why freedom of speech is so important

The Biden administration is now doing everything it can to censor what it has decided is COVID-19 "misinformation." But Glenn Beck isn't confident that the silencing of voices will stop there.

Yeonmi Park grew up in North Korea, where there is no freedom of speech, and she joined Glenn to warn that America must not let this freedom go.

"Whenever authoritarianism rises, the first thing they go after is freedom of speech," she said.

Critical race theory: The revolution of constant whining

Flickr/GaryStevens

Most self-proclaimed Marxists know very little about Marxism. Some of them have all the buzzwords memorized. They talk about the exploits of labor. They talk about the slavery of capitalist society and the alienation caused by capital. They talk about the evils of power and domination.

But they don't actually believe what they say. Or else they wouldn't be such violent hypocrites. And we're not being dramatic when we say "violent."

For them, Marxism is a political tool that they use to degrade and annoy their political enemies.

They don't actually care about the working class.

Another important thing to remember about Marxists is that they talk about how they want to defend the working class, but they don't actually understand the working class. They definitely don't realize that the working class is composed mostly of so many of the people they hate. Because, here's the thing, they don't actually care about the working class. Or the middle class. They wouldn't have the slightest clue how to actually work, not the way we do. For them, work involves ranting about how work and labor are evil.

Ironically, if their communist utopia actually arrived, they would be the first ones against the wall. Because they have nothing to offer except dissent. They have no practical use and no real connection to reality.

Again ironically, they are the ultimate proof of the success of capitalism. The fact that they can freely call for its demise, in tweets that they send from their capitalistic iPhones, is proof that capitalism affords them tremendous luxuries.

Their specialty is complaining. They are fanatics of a religion that is endlessly cynical.

They sneer at Christianity for promising Heaven in exchange for good deeds on earth — which is a terrible description of Christianity, but it's what they actually believe — and at the same time they criticize Christianity for promising a utopia, they give their unconditional devotion to a religion that promises a utopia.

They are fanatics of a religion that is endlessly cynical.

They think capitalism has turned us into machines. Which is a bad interpretation of Marx's concept of the General Intellect, the idea that humans are the ones who create machines, so humans, not God, are the creators.

They think that the only way to achieve the perfect society is by radically changing and even destroying the current society. It's what they mean when they say things about the "status quo" and "hegemony" and the "established order." They believe that the system is broken and the way to fix it is to destroy, destroy, destroy.

Critical race theory actually takes it a step farther. It tells us that the racist system can never be changed. That racism is the original sin that white people can never overcome. Of course, critical race theorists suggest "alternative institutions," but these "alternative institutions" are basically the same as the ones we have now, only less effective and actually racist.

Marx's violent revolution never happened. Or at least it never succeeded. Marx's followers have had to take a different approach. And now, we are living through the Revolution of Constant Whining.

This post is part of a series on critical race theory. Read the full series here.

Will we EVER see justice in the FBI, Trump, Russia investigation?

Americans are losing faith in our justice system and the idea that legal consequences are applied equally — even to powerful elites in office.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to detail what he believes will come next with the Durham investigation, which hopefully will provide answers to the Obama FBI's alleged attempts to sabotage former President Donald Trump and his campaign years ago.

Rep. Nunes and Glenn assert that we know Trump did NOT collude with Russia, and that several members of the FBI possibly committed huge abuses of power. So, when will we see justice?
