Hey, it's a great Tuesday podcast. Everything
0:02
you need to know from Campus Terror.
0:04
I shouldn't say that it wasn't I
0:07
mean, it was a peaceful, mostly peaceful.
0:10
Demonstration yesterday On the Campuses of
0:12
of America, there's one campus that
0:15
is really standing out as are
0:17
all the right way to deal
0:19
with this. It's University of Florida.
0:22
We talk about that. also Spielberg
0:24
and only fans doing propaganda for
0:26
the bike administration. Also we talk
0:29
about the baptism. Of Russell
0:31
Brand. Bishop Marmara from
0:33
Australia Steven Hicks joins
0:35
us for forty five
0:37
minutes just on the.
0:40
The podcast the Tucker Carlson did
0:42
with Alexander Do going that came
0:44
out yesterday. It's an important follow
0:46
up to that interview. If we
0:48
ever watched it, you should. You'll
0:51
see how charming he is. But
0:53
now part one of who really
0:55
is Alexander do going on today.
0:57
Also, kind of an update on
0:59
the Npr. Ceo is she a color
1:01
revolutionary? So much to talk about on
1:04
today's podcast. When frequent pain has you
1:06
back up against the ropes, it's time
1:08
to come out swinging. When I was
1:10
dealing with some of the worst pain
1:12
in my life, that meant taking relief
1:15
factor relief factor help me get my
1:17
life back. And I've heard stories from
1:19
people who had the same experience but
1:21
I had taken everything and I really
1:24
given up. Please do yourself a big
1:26
favor and just try this. It's not
1:28
a drug, it's a daily. Supplement It
1:30
helps your body fight pain for by
1:32
fighting inflammation. It's one hundred percent drug
1:34
free. Over a million people have tried
1:37
Really collectors. Quick Start: Seventy percent of
1:39
them have gone on to order it
1:41
again. It helps reduce or eliminate your
1:43
aches and pains that you're experiencing. Relief
1:45
factor can help him maybe feel better.
1:47
About seventy percent of the people who
1:49
try it go on order more so
1:51
it doesn't work for everybody. But that's
1:53
why they have a three week quick
1:55
start kit. Take it as directed for
1:57
three weeks. you'll see the difference. One.

2:15
You're missing, too. The
2:17
benefit of the command-back program. I want to
2:19
welcome to the program, it's always an
2:22
honor to talk to him, Rockford University
2:24
Philosophy Professor, Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship
2:26
Executive Director, Steven Hicks. Hello,
2:28
Steven. How are you, sir? I
2:31
am very well. Thanks for having me on again, Glenn. You
2:34
bet. So, I watched this interview,
2:36
and I know that Tucker didn't know who
2:39
he was, Alexander Dugan, because
2:41
when he was over there, I
2:44
said, be careful if
2:46
you're involved with Alexander Dugan. And
2:48
that, unfortunately, I said that right before he left.
2:51
So, he had already done the interview,
2:53
and he said, not really sure about
2:56
this guy. And
2:59
I don't think really had done
3:01
his homework, because it came
3:03
up last minute. But
3:05
also, Dugan is hard to nail
3:08
down if you just
3:10
look at him on the surface. Would you agree
3:12
with that? Well,
3:14
sure. TV interviewers
3:17
will often under-prepare,
3:19
and they don't necessarily have the
3:21
philosophical and strategic depth to understand.
3:24
And as you were suggesting, Dugan is a
3:26
slippery character. At the same time, he is
3:29
deep. He is a philosopher, as
3:31
well as being a strategist. But at
3:34
the same time, I don't want to let
3:36
someone like Tucker Carlson off the hook, because
3:38
we do have enough historical knowledge about the
3:40
kinds of positions that Dugan is offering. He
3:43
is repackaging ideas and strategies that
3:45
have been well-worked over in the 20th
3:47
century. So,
3:50
we should be up to speed on
3:52
that. So, I think partly what we
3:54
need is a little philosophical up-brushing, but
3:57
also some historical reminders of history repeating
3:59
itself. So let me play just
4:01
a little bit of what he said to talk
4:03
yesterday and will start there is a clip from
4:05
the Tucker Carlson interview with Alexander Do Gun. And
4:07
up for the full of the
4:10
solitude out there was only liberalism
4:12
And Francis Fukuyama has a point
4:14
out correctly that's not a very
4:16
out. There are no more eighty
4:18
ideologies accept of liberalism, a liberalism
4:20
or that was a liberation or
4:22
these interview though ah from any
4:24
kind of collective identities of arrow
4:26
of who are only two. Ah
4:29
a collective identities to liberate
4:31
from our gender identity Because
4:33
it's this collective identity you
4:36
us man or woman collectively
4:38
so you could the as
4:40
a alone Felix Ah saw
4:42
an hour and a liberation
4:44
from gender and that has
4:47
allowed that to transgender a
4:49
served or Lgbt. it's and
4:51
new form of sexual individualism.
4:53
so is it is. Sex
4:56
is oh so of something
4:58
optional and. That was not
5:00
just ah division of liberalism
5:02
that was not necessary, elements
5:04
of when Women station al
5:06
director of this liberal ideology
5:08
and the last step that
5:10
is not yet or told
5:12
totally totally made his liberation
5:14
from human identities, humanity optional.
5:16
And when and now we
5:18
are choosing Or you in
5:20
the West you are and
5:22
you are choosing to have
5:24
sex you want as he
5:26
wants. And. Us not
5:29
blessed of step in this
5:31
process of Ah Liberalism implementation
5:33
the windows and will mean
5:36
precisely that fuel Human An
5:38
optional so you can choose
5:41
your easy dual identity to
5:43
be human, not to be
5:45
human that has a name.
5:48
Trans Humanism Post Humanism Ah,
5:50
I'm Singularity Artificial Intelligence Sas
5:53
Ah, Klaus Schwab Paw courts
5:55
wise or how.it's they openly.
5:58
declare that the is in his future
6:00
of humanity. So we arrive
6:03
to the historical terminal station
6:06
that we finally five centuries
6:10
ago we have embarked in this
6:12
train and now we are arriving
6:14
at the last station. So
6:18
what he's saying here is that liberalism
6:21
meaning the classic liberalism where
6:23
you're an individual it's not
6:25
collective etc etc he says
6:27
the inevitable end is progressivism
6:30
and then some dystopian future
6:33
but I don't think that's right
6:35
I'd love to hear from you. Liberalism
6:39
doesn't lead to progressivism, Marxism
6:41
leads to progressivism. Yeah
6:45
the first half of the Dugan clip
6:47
I think is correct the second half
6:49
is a massive equivocation I think philosophically
6:51
he should know better I think he's
6:53
doing some tactical rhetoric
6:55
against the West in talking about the
6:57
transgenderism. So let's take those two in
7:00
part. So first part is fall of
7:02
the Soviet Union. I think Dugan is
7:04
exactly right that what played out in
7:06
the 20th century left only some sort
7:09
of liberalism standing in the field. The
7:11
20th century was a huge
7:13
ideological battle I think
7:15
Dugan's analysis is correct it's that's the
7:17
kind of analysis I've argued and many
7:20
other people have argued as well. The
7:22
20th century was about some sort of
7:24
liberalism versus some sort of fascism or
7:27
national socialism versus some
7:29
sort of Marxist communism.
7:32
We fought world wars, we fought Cold
7:34
Wars, we fought many trench warfare ideological
7:37
wars as well. What
7:39
happened was fascism was defeated national socialism
7:42
was defeated and by 1991 Marxist communism
7:44
was defeated and so what
7:47
seemed to be almost inevitable I
7:49
don't want to use the inevitability
7:52
language but was that
7:54
some sort of liberal democracy
7:56
capitalism individuals of modernity was
7:59
triumphant. So I think
8:01
that part is exactly right. Now
8:03
where I think Dougan goes wrong
8:06
is in the, what happens next.
8:08
My view is that what happened
8:10
was that liberalism took a breather.
8:12
We've been fighting wars, ideological and
8:14
actual wars for over a century.
8:17
We let our guard down, we relax, we
8:19
kind of thought everybody is going to get
8:21
on board and some sort
8:24
of liberal democratic capitalist modern future
8:26
is slowly then going to prevail
8:28
over the next generation. Now
8:31
what actually happened though was
8:34
that the fascists, the national
8:36
socialists, the authoritarians, the communists,
8:38
the Marxists of various sorts
8:41
did not simply go away and give
8:43
up the fight. Instead they started to
8:45
repackage themselves and then
8:47
inside the now triumphant West
8:49
there were counter movements that
8:52
started to reassert themselves. And
8:55
then we started to see then by the time we get to 2010,
8:57
2015 or so that those counter Western
9:01
movements inside the West are reasserting
9:03
themselves and everybody starts to become
9:06
aware of them. And
9:08
the particularly nasty forms of transgenders,
9:11
and I think there is a
9:13
legitimate version of transgenders that
9:16
reasonable and sensitive people will
9:19
take aware of, but weaponized
9:21
transgenderism of the particularly
9:23
violent form that we're sometimes dealing with,
9:26
that is a different phenomenon. So
9:30
the second part then is what Doubin wants to
9:32
do is to say, and this is the part
9:34
that you were picking up on, that the
9:37
relativism, the angry activism,
9:40
the willingness to let everything
9:43
burn inside the West that
9:45
we're now confronting with, the
9:48
virulent forms of Islamism that we
9:51
are now confronting and so on,
9:53
the total package of anti-Western,
9:56
anti-liberalisms, where did those
9:58
come from? Now,
10:00
I agree those are pathological,
10:03
they are very destructive, but
10:05
what Dugan is offering is
10:07
a thesis that says that
10:10
those anti-liberalisms are themselves
10:12
an outgrowth of liberalism,
10:15
and that I think is simply false.
10:20
So when he says, you know,
10:23
an end to modernity and
10:25
liberalism, he's actually, I mean,
10:28
one of the first things I found about
10:30
Dugan that opened my eyes
10:33
was his statement that
10:35
fascism with
10:39
Mussolini, Mussolini, he says, was a very
10:42
brave person, as was Hitler, but
10:45
it didn't work, but
10:47
they understood that international
10:49
communism was not
10:51
good. So they went for national
10:54
communism or socialism, which became fascist.
10:56
And he said where the two of
10:59
them went wrong was they offered too
11:01
many compromises. He said the future is
11:03
fascism without compromise. That's
11:10
a little terrifying. Yeah, so
11:12
this is 1990s Dugan in
11:14
the first decade after the fall of the
11:17
Soviet Union. And he's
11:19
a strange character, right at this point.
11:21
He's already adopted
11:23
various forms of Nazism in the
11:25
1980s. And at
11:28
this point, he's not a young man. He's in his
11:30
late 20s. He's in his early 30s. So
11:32
he's a mature thinker. He
11:35
hates liberalism already. He hates modernity.
11:37
He hates the West in its
11:39
entirety. At the same
11:41
time, he's dissatisfied with what's going
11:43
on in the Soviet Union, its
11:46
version of communism and Marxism. In
11:49
the Soviet Union fall, so he
11:51
is co-founder of a national Bolshevik
11:53
party. And the Bolsheviks, of course,
11:56
were Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, and so
11:58
on. of
12:00
a kind of communist Marxism,
12:02
but the nationalism is important
12:05
there for him. And
12:07
he then, within a few years,
12:09
settles on saying what we need
12:12
to do is just rework fascism.
12:14
So he is widely and explicitly
12:16
admiring of Mussolini and some
12:21
of the German fascists of the 1920s and
12:23
early 1930s. And
12:26
he publishes an article in 1997 called Fascism, Borderless, and
12:28
Red. The
12:33
red part means blood, and it means
12:35
a little bit of incorporation of Marxism
12:37
that's going to be a bloody, violent
12:40
revolution that we need. And
12:43
the borderless part is also there, that we
12:45
need to expand Russia's border. We need to
12:47
be expansionist. What we need
12:49
is a kind of national socialism.
12:52
He takes the socialism
12:54
seriously, economic control, but
12:56
it's not going to be a socialism where we take,
12:58
so to speak, the Russian people and we make
13:01
them fit into some abstract socialist template.
13:03
This is the fascist part. We
13:06
need to take the Russian people,
13:08
its particular ethnic identity, including its
13:11
religion, its cultures, its traditions, see
13:13
it as having a world historical
13:15
destiny. It's going to lead the
13:18
world to a new bright future
13:20
that's not going to be trapped
13:24
in the old Marxist way. And
13:27
as you're suggesting, it's going to learn from
13:29
the failures of the earlier
13:31
versions of fascism and national
13:33
socialism. And what that is going
13:35
to involve is a willing to be muscular,
13:37
a willing to be violent, a willing
13:41
to take ethnicity and nationalism
13:43
seriously and not to compromise
13:46
one jot with capitalism
13:48
with any form of Western liberalism. So
13:50
yes, that's Dugan by the time we
13:52
get to the late 1990s. Tom,
14:00
seems like just about everybody is an
14:02
expert these days. Where did you
14:04
get your real estate license? A
14:07
gun from the school of knox, you
14:09
know what I'm saying? I
14:12
was working at the hot dog stand
14:14
and these people came after me and
14:16
now I get that. I
14:20
got my experience in hot dogs and your
14:22
house. You might want
14:24
to do a little more searching for a real estate
14:26
agent. Here's the thing, I didn't even know
14:29
how to find a good real estate agent. I don't
14:31
know what questions to ask them or I should say
14:33
I didn't. Now my
14:35
company realestateagentsitrust.com, after
14:38
a lot of education and a lot
14:40
of searching, we did find the people
14:42
that you can trust in the real
14:44
estate business. Not
14:47
just people who know what they're doing but the
14:49
people you can actually put your trust in and
14:52
not just them. You can trust the
14:54
people who they trust that are going
14:56
to form a team that help bring
14:58
everything together for your house, inspecting mortgage
15:01
consultants, home repair people, the
15:04
whole kitten caboodle as
15:06
they used to say, God only knows
15:08
when. Put a premium on
15:11
trust. If that's you, go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
15:13
Free service to you and
15:15
don't charge you anything for
15:17
the recommendation. You do your
15:19
own homework, see if you believe this is a
15:21
person that's cut from
15:23
the same cloth that you
15:25
are and just wants a
15:27
good deal all around. It's

15:32
back to the podcast. You
15:35
are listening to the best of going back. To
15:38
listen to the rest of this interview, check
15:40
out the Full Show podcast. I
15:42
want to go over this NPR boss which
15:44
was kind of funny at the beginning.
15:48
And then the more you learn about her, the more you're
15:50
like, well, now hang on just a second,
15:52
because she would be a very
15:55
important tool in the hands of the government
15:57
and she's being paid by now. National
16:00
Public Radio. So
16:02
she is a tool of the
16:05
government in many ways. Can she
16:07
separate herself from
16:09
her own personal beliefs? Or
16:13
is that even wanted
16:15
at NPR? We wanted to
16:17
bring in Joe McKinnon. Joe
16:20
is a Blaise News staff writer and he
16:22
has been following up on this. Joe,
16:24
take us from the beginning from
16:28
the the the
16:31
whistleblower, if you will, all
16:34
the way to Christopher Rufo and then
16:36
let's pick it up from there. So can you tell us the
16:38
beginning of it Joe? Absolutely. Thanks
16:40
for having me on. So Yuri
16:43
Berliner earlier this month has
16:45
this damning expose in
16:48
the free press April 9th. He goes
16:50
after NPR after having worked there for
16:52
a quarter of a century as a
16:55
senior business editor. He
16:57
suggests that there's zero
16:59
viewpoint diversity, particularly after
17:02
John Lansing, the former CEO,
17:04
had made it
17:06
an activist organization and then allied
17:08
it effectively with the Democratic Party.
17:11
This is a publication according to Berliner
17:13
that didn't want to cover the
17:16
Hunter Biden laptop story, that worked
17:18
with Adam Schiff to push the
17:20
Russian collusion hoax. So
17:22
he goes to town on NPR
17:24
and draws the ire of someone
17:26
who's not been on a lot
17:28
of people's radar and that's Catherine
17:30
Mayer or Meyer I should say.
17:33
So Meyer comes up with this long
17:36
response and effectively
17:39
passes him out with
17:42
some more charitable terms and subsequently
17:45
Berliner is suspended and
17:48
then he resigns. So
17:50
people start looking into Meyer after this because
17:54
she was with Wikipedia before but I guess
17:56
you know flew under the radar for a
17:58
lot particularly on the internet. the right
18:00
or those among those
18:02
who are critical of the government. And
18:05
at first blush, she
18:07
looks just like another shrill leftist.
18:09
She has the obligatory photo wearing
18:12
the Biden campaign hat, and she
18:14
has an unhealthy obsession with race.
18:17
So that photo exists. And the
18:19
tweets speak for themselves. But
18:21
you keep digging as Rufo has. And
18:24
you realize really quickly that there's something
18:27
more going on here. From
18:29
30,000 feet, she looks like
18:32
not just a tech savvy
18:34
media queen, but someone who
18:36
spent a lot of time around color revolutions
18:38
in the Orient enough to know how
18:41
they might be replicated. Okay,
18:43
so hang on just a second. The
18:45
campuses and boardrooms are full of
18:47
leftists. But
18:49
you're saying and Christopher Rufo saying, she
18:52
is not your ordinary leftist.
18:54
She's been around color revolutions.
18:57
What does that mean? She's been around color
18:59
revolutions? Okay, so
19:01
well, one of the many
19:04
interesting posts she's had, and I should
19:06
note at the outset
19:08
here that she's a world economic forum,
19:11
world global leader. She's worked with
19:13
the World Bank. She's
19:15
worked with various NGOs
19:17
that are in the tech
19:20
comms and well, foreign
19:23
policy space. So around
19:26
2010 2011, and the Rufo
19:29
chronicled her travel itinerary,
19:31
she's with the National
19:33
Democratic Institute. And that's
19:36
a spin off of the National Endowment for democracy,
19:39
committed to yet exactly
19:41
well, you know, I'm going
19:43
with this. Yeah, this is
19:45
an organization that tries to transition unwilling
19:48
regimes to become
19:50
liberal democracies. Can
19:53
I redefined that a little bit?
19:56
It's a CIA front. Well,
19:59
Mike Benz. He was in the
20:01
Trump administration at the State Department. He
20:03
said exactly that. He said to carve
20:05
out for the CIA. And
20:07
other people have said just as
20:09
much. In fact, I
20:12
think it was Ron Dixon at the
20:14
New York Times back when he
20:17
said the NDI was actively fomenting
20:19
protests during the so-called Arab
20:21
Spring. So, by the
20:23
way, these are a good job.
20:25
We know this. I exposed that
20:27
when we were at Fox. We've
20:30
known that from the beginning. It didn't take
20:32
a brain surgeon to figure this out. Then
20:35
when you go into Ukraine and
20:37
see what they were doing and
20:39
the phrases that they were using
20:41
saying, we can spread this now.
20:44
We kind of perfected it in
20:46
the Middle East and we can spread it. And
20:49
that's exactly what we were doing
20:51
in Ukraine. Well,
20:53
precisely. Ukraine, Libya,
20:56
Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia. And
20:58
so, she's kind of not
21:01
a pilgrimage to these toppled regimes.
21:03
In some cases, as they're falling. So
21:06
Rufo notes that she
21:08
goes to Tunisia a couple times.
21:10
She goes to Gazin Tep in
21:12
southern Turkey just as rebels are
21:14
making inroads along the highway between
21:17
Damascus and I believe it was
21:19
Aleppo. And she
21:21
actually said not long ago that she,
21:23
well, she framed the timing differently,
21:26
but she said in the aftermath of
21:28
the revolutions, she was doing research
21:31
on the ground with quote unquote
21:33
human rights activists and independent journalists.
21:36
And so, she's with the NDI. She's
21:38
going to Tunisia. And
21:41
she raised a couple of alarm bells. So
21:43
there's this Tunisian cabinet official.
21:47
And well, he basically,
21:50
he straight out said it's
21:52
a likely case that she
21:54
works for a certain three
21:57
letter agency. And
22:00
You know, a lot of people have been speculating
22:02
about that in recent weeks. So
22:05
what is her, what is her
22:07
background in broadcast and news? Well,
22:12
uh, she deals a lot with
22:14
comms in terms of
22:16
news. She's been critical of
22:18
the ways that governments have weaponized
22:21
their state broadcasters, uh,
22:24
which I think is rich, granted. Right.
22:27
Progressions were career. Yes. But
22:30
what does she, I mean, does she have a background
22:32
in, in news? Is
22:34
she a journalist? Is she, I
22:37
mean, why is she quiet? I mean, I
22:39
see that she's traveled the world, that she's
22:41
with the World Bank and the WEF and,
22:44
and she's been with NGOs and
22:46
she's been around revolutions, but that
22:48
doesn't necessarily scream CEO of
22:51
NPR. Well,
22:53
I think Wikimedia, um, and
22:56
Wikipedia, um, which she ran
22:58
the show for for several years, um, she
23:00
demonstrated her bonafide, yeah, her bonafide.
23:04
And it was, um, under her reign
23:06
that it quickly became clear that this
23:08
was, um, well,
23:11
it's supposed to be a repository for human
23:13
knowledge, right? Right. You know, recently you talked
23:15
about how memory is the
23:17
key to who we are. Well, Wikipedia
23:20
is instrumental to capturing
23:23
and curating that memory for a lot of people.
23:26
So she might not be a journalist, but she
23:28
was very much, well, I
23:30
don't want to suggest there's a causation,
23:33
but she pretends that, you know,
23:35
the Wikipedia editors are working on
23:37
their own, but while she's in
23:39
control, there's very much a narrative
23:41
curation going on, the kind that
23:44
you might want at a
23:46
taxpayer funded, uh, state broadcast.
23:50
Jeez. Okay.
23:52
Um, so the rumor that
23:54
she's with CIA, where did
23:56
that originate? So
23:58
I mentioned she went to. a couple
24:01
times, right? Okay. So this cabinet
24:03
official is named Slim Amamoo. I
24:05
think I'm pronouncing that right. But
24:07
Slim says in 2016 that
24:09
it's a bit of a retrospective. He's looking
24:12
back, and I believe it is
24:14
around the time that she's getting a promotion over
24:16
at Wikipedia. He straight
24:18
up says that she's probably CIA.
24:20
He's not mincing words.
24:23
He says she's come over
24:26
under different affiliations with the
24:28
NDI, with World Bank, with USAID.
24:31
And he suggests – and this is
24:33
going on at Twitter at the time, still call
24:35
that – he
24:37
suggests that she might as well have had
24:39
CIA written on her front. And
24:43
so Slim was in the transitional government. He
24:46
dropped out to protest so-called
24:48
censorship. And he –
24:51
not entirely the top of the food chain,
24:53
but someone you might at least want to
24:56
hear out. And so
24:58
she is prickle by the suggestion. She
25:01
responds saying, I'm no
25:04
sort of agent. You can dislike me,
25:06
but please don't blame me. But
25:09
then that brought even more
25:11
scrutiny, because people took
25:13
notice of the way she framed
25:15
that response. So Christina Pasha, she's
25:17
on the scientist team. She noted,
25:20
for instance, okay, well, you may not have been
25:22
an agent, but you could just as
25:24
well have been an asset. But
25:27
the CIA element, I think, I
25:30
haven't seen any incontrovertible
25:32
proof. It's
25:34
also largely immaterial, because she's
25:37
actually directly worked with the
25:39
Biden administration. She's
25:41
worked with and brushed shoulders with all
25:44
these regime change groups. So
25:47
whether or not she has a
25:49
CIA and a card somewhere tucked
25:51
into her desk, she
25:53
might as well have been. And
25:55
this is part of the group that
25:57
– I mean, Hillary Clinton, in that
25:59
image, infamous clip where she said, we
26:01
came, we saw, he died, and
26:04
laughed about it. I think who
26:06
she was talking to at the time might have
26:08
been Samantha Power, who
26:10
is Cass Sunstein's wife,
26:13
the author of Nudge
26:15
and somebody who knows how to
26:17
nudge people into new positions. But
26:20
Sam now works at USAID.
26:23
She's the head of USAID. So if
26:25
you have the head of
26:28
NPR also working with
26:30
Samantha Power at USAID, that is
26:32
also a CIA front. Well,
26:35
absolutely. And
26:38
I think it was Michael
26:40
Waller in the rueful piece. He's
26:42
a national security analyst. And
26:45
he said he drew that same connection with
26:47
Power and intimated
26:50
that Meyer is
26:52
part of this revolutionary vanguard
26:54
movement. So they're
26:57
all in bed together by the
26:59
looks of it, I should say, a little bit of distance because
27:01
I don't want to mean tweet. And
27:05
then you couple this with her
27:07
public comments. And
27:09
then it lends even more gravity
27:11
to this, well,
27:14
her becoming the head of NPR, which was a
27:16
nanny. Give me some of her public comments
27:18
that I may not know. OK,
27:21
well, I did
27:23
a little bit of a deep dive. A
27:25
lot of these already are circulating. But
27:28
they're all troubling. So for
27:31
instance, in a 2021 interview, and this one has
27:33
caught a lot of people's attention in recent days,
27:36
she described the First Amendment as the
27:38
top challenge in the fight
27:40
against disinformation. So it's a
27:42
challenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's
27:44
right. It's a challenge because,
27:46
quote, it's a little
27:48
bit tricky to really address some of
27:50
the real challenges of where does bad
27:53
information come from and sort of the
27:55
influence peddlers who have made a
27:57
real market economy around it. And
27:59
by the way. When she started about disinformation,
28:02
she means skepticism of COVID-19
28:04
vaccines, which I know in
28:07
the lead up to the show,
28:09
there was mention that AstraZeneca just
28:11
admitted that has devastating impact.
28:14
Well, so that's disinformation, according to
28:17
the former head of Wikipedia. She
28:19
also climate alarmism. That's that's a no
28:22
fly for her. So
28:24
at an Atlantic Council 2021 event,
28:27
she says Wikipedia isn't
28:30
a free expression platform. And
28:32
so a lot of people are wondering why. She
28:36
suggests it's
28:38
really about creating content that people can have
28:40
confidence in, that they can use
28:42
to make determinations in their lives. And
28:44
so that right to have access to
28:46
high integrity content often sort of trumps
28:48
the right to free speech. Now,
28:51
pair that with the fact
28:54
that she suggests straight
28:56
out in a TED talk
28:58
that, quote, our
29:00
reverence for the truth might be
29:02
a distraction. And it's getting in
29:04
the way of finding common ground and getting things
29:07
done. So I don't know
29:09
who that common ground belongs to, by the way, but
29:11
it certainly isn't free people. Yeah,
29:15
yeah, fantastic. This is the best
29:17
of the Glenn Beck podcast. Find
29:20
more of this interview and other full episodes
29:22
wherever you get your podcasts. Sarah,
29:26
I think I think we need the cannibal
29:28
update. Do we have the cannibal update
29:31
music? Because I
29:33
have been very concerned about cannibalism ever
29:36
since Joe Biden brought it up. And
29:38
I thought cannibalism,
29:40
you know, we all thought it
29:42
was over. But then again, we all thought the Soviet
29:45
Union was over, right? We thought that threat was over.
29:48
Cannibalism is real and
29:52
it's on display. And
29:54
it involves. Well, let
29:57
me show you here is Nancy Pelosi
29:59
in. involved in cannibalism on
30:02
MSNBC. And Joe Biden
30:04
is doing that, created 9 million
30:06
jobs in his tournament office. Donald
30:09
Trump has the worst record of
30:11
job loss of any president. So
30:13
we just have to make sure
30:15
people know. That was a global
30:17
pandemic. He
30:20
had the worst record and is president.
30:22
We've had other concerns in our country.
30:24
If you want to be an apologist
30:26
for Donald Trump, that may be your
30:29
role. But it ain't mine. And he
30:31
has the worst. And we know,
30:33
but let me just say, as
30:35
the Speaker of the House, we
30:37
put forth a $3 trillion bill,
30:39
$3 trillion of investment
30:42
in communities and the rest.
30:44
And that is a kind of... Now
30:48
I don't know which one is in the pot here, which
30:50
one's eating the other, but they are
30:52
eating each other. Cannibalism, another
30:55
update coming soon because it seems
30:57
to be going around now. And
31:00
that's a real problem. Now let's
31:03
do go to Columbia because what
31:06
happened there yesterday was definitely not an
31:08
insurrection. Right, Sue? I mean,
31:11
nothing to see. Definitely not. No
31:13
insurrection there. No, not at all.
31:15
That was just... It was a
31:17
protesters' glum. Those are protesters peacefully
31:20
protesting mostly in
31:22
favor of the rapists and murderers
31:24
in Hamas. That's all. That's all
31:26
that was. Okay. Okay.
31:29
Well, let me show you some things
31:31
that happened. This is in a library
31:33
in Virginia. I
31:39
mean, listen to that noise. The librarian,
31:41
her head exploded immediately. She was
31:43
like, shh. They
31:46
were... Riot police were there.
31:48
They stormed and took over the library
31:50
at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond,
31:55
Virginia. And they continued to talk out loud,
31:58
not in whispers. It
32:00
was not good, it was not good. Here
32:02
is from UCLA a Jewish
32:06
student that
32:09
is being blocked from using the main
32:11
entrance. I have my ID right here.
32:14
I mean blocked off, not by the security
32:16
guard, but by you two. You
32:18
three. Oh look, they're making their burrow while I'm going
32:20
this way. This is what they do. Everybody look at
32:22
this, look at this. I'm a
32:24
UCLA student. I deserve to go here. We
32:26
pay tuition. This is our school and
32:29
they're not letting me walk in. My class is over
32:31
there, I want to use that entrance. Will you
32:33
let me go in? This is going
32:35
to be over in a second. Just let me
32:37
and my friends go in. We're
32:40
not engaging. Then you can move.
32:42
Will you move? We're
32:44
not engaging. Okay, we're going. We're
32:48
not engaging. I'm going in. I
32:51
don't, I have my hands up. I'm not hurting them. I'm
32:54
not hurting them. That's what they do. That's
32:57
what they do everybody. You guys are
32:59
promoting aggression. You guys are
33:01
promoting hate. We're UCLA students, we deserve
33:03
to be there. True,
33:06
but he's forgotten all the microaggressions.
33:09
Still, your thoughts. Oh well, I mean
33:12
I think we should give an award to the security
33:14
guard who stands there and does
33:16
absolutely nothing and allows them to block
33:18
this person's progress as he's trying to
33:20
go to class. That's just like wow,
33:23
he should get a Hamas award. Congratulations
33:27
to him. I mean
33:29
that's
33:32
completely unbelievable that they're allowing this to
33:34
go on. And it's
33:36
happening campus after campus after
33:38
campus. Did
33:40
you see the latest polls that
33:43
Americans are for Israel by I
33:45
think it's like 80 percent, something
33:47
like that. For Israel. I
33:49
know. I was talking to
33:51
somebody and they're like oh man, that's good to see because
33:53
you do see in the media a lot of times it
33:55
feels like I don't know this is like some close call
33:57
and Americans are like what is it 75, 20. in
34:00
favor of Israel over Hamas. And
34:03
I said, that's terrible. 75%
34:05
of people, Israel over Hamas? Not
34:10
even like a hidden, oh, the Palestinian people
34:13
or whatever they usually pitch. No,
34:16
this is the actual recognized
34:18
terrorist group was used
34:20
in the poll. This should be 99 to 1. 75%
34:23
sucks for that poll. I
34:29
guess I've just been beaten down so far.
34:31
Yes. Oh,
34:34
that's good. 12 people in America are still
34:36
for the Jews. It's a little
34:38
beaten down by it, you know? Yeah,
34:41
I understand. Just a little bit. Do you
34:43
see what the University of Florida said yesterday?
34:46
That they're not going to tolerate
34:48
it. They are not a preschool. You
34:51
know the rules. You break them, you're out.
34:57
Boy, I can't imagine living in that fascistic society of
34:59
Florida. Can you imagine that? They hold you to the
35:01
rules. You sign, you know, when you sign up for
35:03
school, you read the rule book. You're breaking
35:05
the rules. You're out. Where
35:09
everywhere else, they're negotiating with these people, you
35:11
know? And I just
35:14
think negotiating with terrorists
35:16
is such a smart idea. It's
35:18
so today, you know? So
35:21
open-minded. So
35:23
woke. So great. So
35:26
one of the, I think
35:28
it was Northwestern, negotiated to
35:30
have Palestinians, you
35:33
know, come up and speak on
35:35
campus. So they're going to get
35:37
some, I don't know, Hamas members. Why
35:39
not? I mean, they did it with the Nazis. They
35:42
literally did this exact same thing with the Nazis in
35:44
the 1930s. Why should we
35:46
expect a different outcome? It's the
35:48
same kind of people. The
35:50
same group of people. They're
35:53
fine with that. Totally fine with that. By
35:55
the way, Spielberg is now doing propaganda
35:58
for, you know, the United States. Joe
36:00
Biden. I mean,
36:02
no, he's not. He's just, he's
36:05
looking into ways, it's not propaganda,
36:07
he's looking in ways to enhance
36:09
the president's message and
36:11
help that message get out like
36:13
Nancy Pelosi just did. I love
36:16
that. She was shocked when somebody in
36:18
the media turned around and said, it
36:20
was a pandemic, but that's what everybody
36:22
says. Play that again. That's what everybody
36:24
says to their television when they hear
36:26
that stat. Everybody says that. And
36:30
Joe Biden is doing that, created 9 million
36:32
jobs in his tournament office. Donald
36:35
Trump has the worst record of
36:37
job loss of any president. So
36:39
we just have to make sure
36:41
people know. That was a global
36:43
pandemic. He
36:46
had the worst record of any president.
36:48
We've had other concerns in our country.
36:51
If you want to be an apologist
36:53
for Donald Trump, that may be your
36:55
role, but it ain't mine. She doesn't
36:58
have any real comeback for it. No,
37:00
she has never been challenged on that.
37:02
She's literally stunned in that moment that
37:04
someone's done point out to her the
37:06
most obvious thing in the world that
37:08
every single voter understands. And this is
37:10
showing up in the polls like crazy
37:13
that people don't even look at the
37:15
pandemic as part of Trump's economy. They
37:17
don't, they don't judge it that way.
37:19
They look at it and they say,
37:21
well, it was doing really well before
37:23
this really terrible thing that happened. We
37:26
obviously a lot of jobs
37:28
were lost and obviously the
37:31
American people want to coming back to work after
37:34
it was over and Biden's trying to take credit
37:36
for all that. And what the most fascinating part
37:38
about this is if you're going to criticize Trump
37:40
on his performance in the economy when it comes
37:42
to the pandemic, you're going to hit him on
37:45
the shutdowns, right? Like he was in favor of
37:47
the shutdowns early, which, okay,
37:49
I think that's a fair criticism. Certainly from
37:51
the right, it's a fair criticism. However, the
37:53
Democrats supported every single one of those policies
37:55
and tried to drag out the shutdowns for
37:58
another year and a half after Trump's supporting
38:00
them. So there's absolutely no
38:02
argument whatsoever. Everybody knows,
38:05
everyone remembers COVID-19.
38:07
Everyone remembers the period, everyone remembers being
38:09
told they couldn't go to work anymore
38:11
for a few months. Everybody
38:13
remembers this and the fact they keep trying
38:16
to pitch this is so insultingly stupid that
38:18
Katie Tour can't even let it happen on
38:20
MSNBC and she's called
38:22
a Trump apologist for it. Katie
38:24
Tour, she's not a
38:27
conservative, she's not even
38:31
anywhere close to that. She can't stand Donald
38:34
Trump. She's embarrassed by the point
38:40
that Nancy Pelosi is making. She
38:42
feels the internal pull to, she
38:44
has to point it out, it's
38:46
such a stupid point and
38:48
I feel like I actually Glenn have a
38:50
bit of sympathy for certain Democrats in
38:52
these moments. We're like, you know
38:54
Katie Tour, who's obviously not no conservative, is
38:57
like, what do you mean a
38:59
Trump apologist? Look at what I've, look at
39:02
my record. I've done nothing but bash Trump
39:04
for years and years and years and years.
39:06
The same thing with Joe Biden. He's being
39:08
criticized as genocide Joe. He's done so much
39:10
to hurt the Jews. Why are you, why
39:12
are you, he's done so
39:15
much to ruin their
39:17
ability to kill terrorists
39:20
and stop their people from being raped. He's
39:22
done so much, he's contributed so much to
39:24
this cause and these protesters won't give him
39:26
credit for it. I think,
39:28
I personally think that this is
39:30
genocide Joe is, it's better to
39:33
call him genocide Joe from our
39:35
side than their side. He's
39:38
been funding the Iranians who
39:40
wanted genocide on all the
39:43
Jews. He is
39:45
genocide Joe. They're just mixed up
39:47
on who he wants to help
39:49
kill. By the way, this
39:51
is what you would call propaganda. What
39:53
happened on MSNBC
39:56
with Nancy Pelosi is propaganda and
39:58
she was shocked. That there
40:00
was somebody supposedly on her side that
40:02
would not play the game. I
40:06
Don't know if you saw the the
40:09
only fans star Farah
40:11
Khalidi Do
40:13
we have the audio of her she
40:15
she was yesterday doing an interview and
40:19
she is You
40:21
know, she's a big influencer on tick-tock and
40:24
here's what she talked about I
40:26
started to talk like the spring semester of
40:29
my senior year and I was like I finally have to
40:31
start applying for law school And then like, you
40:33
know female privilege life is so easy for a
40:35
woman. Obviously I lucked out I'm just kidding. I
40:37
lucked out and then you know, tick-tock was basically
40:39
full-time for me I think I was taking ads
40:42
by the time I graduated college from like the
40:44
Biden administration and Planned Parenthood and like dating apps
40:46
and Stuff so it was like fully financially, you
40:48
know, so you were getting the Biden administration was buying ads
40:50
from you Yeah, I was doing full-on
40:53
political propaganda and they would just they really
40:55
would like what kind of like Biden created a
40:57
million jobs Yeah, yeah, honestly and the funny thing
40:59
is they're like do not disclose This is an ad
41:01
because you know, they're like tango leaves on a product.
41:03
You don't have to disclose It's not because I think
41:05
they just wanted like Edgy girl
41:07
of color to just tell people like when they nominated like
41:09
a Tanji Brown Jacks and they're like Can you say like
41:11
as a person of color, you know that you feel reflected
41:14
and it's like a white woman emailing this to me And
41:16
she's like giving me this script and I'm like no and
41:18
she's like please and I'm like no I'll say I'll like
41:20
talk about the news of it But I'm not gonna be
41:22
like I'm not gonna have a white person tell me to
41:24
be like, you know This is how I feel as a
41:26
person of color Like it's just so I think
41:29
that black sold me slightly on like, you know
41:31
political propaganda So the Biden administration sees
41:33
oh, here's this young Like
41:36
a conduit it's not like, you know, I mean it's not Biden
41:38
but it's um, it's like it's like a third
41:40
party You know, I mean it's like a media
41:42
company that's doing it on his behalf. I'm not
41:45
blaming him for this And the message
41:47
is like because you're a dark-skinned woman
41:49
you will be inspired by Kataji Brown
41:51
Jackson and all the Reporter. Yeah, they're
41:53
like basically as like another black person just say that
41:56
look you feel reflected by Kataji I'm
41:58
like, no, I'll talk about like Kataji's background and her
42:00
accomplishments were like I never, you know what I
42:02
mean? Like I'll never, I'm not going to say like the corny stuff,
42:04
even if it was a brown person emailing it to me, I'm like,
42:06
no, that's not like how I feel. Like I don't look at like
42:08
Katana and feel like, wow. Yeah. Hmm.
42:12
Yeah. Yeah. You
42:14
know what caught me there was
42:16
it's not officially a product. So
42:19
you don't have to disclose that
42:21
it's an ad. Uh,
42:25
first of all, I don't know if that's true. By
42:27
the way. Yeah. First of
42:29
all. I don't think that's true. Second
42:32
of all, um, uh,
42:35
notice that, uh, she
42:37
went along with it. She said,
42:40
well, yeah, but I'm not going to
42:42
say the things they wanted me to
42:45
say. I'll talk about those things, but
42:47
I'm not, well, no, you're, you're still
42:49
engaged in what you know to be
42:51
propaganda. And you
42:53
were fine with that. Does
42:56
anybody feel betrayed? Is anybody worried?
43:00
Where, where is the, where is the
43:02
precious news media? Can you imagine if
43:05
I were doing that and Donald
43:07
Trump through surrogates was paying me
43:10
to talk about certain things that he had
43:12
done and then
43:15
wanted me to say, you know, and I really
43:17
feel validated by this. I really do. Cause you
43:20
know, he likes white people and
43:22
I'm a white person. And so I really
43:24
feel validated by that. And I didn't tell
43:26
you that he was paying me to say
43:28
that. It's grotesque for me to say that
43:31
if he, even if he weren't
43:33
paying me, but if he's
43:35
paying me and I don't tell you what
43:39
is wrong with our country. It's amazing.
43:41
If you can't trust Farha
43:43
Khalidi, who can
43:46
you trust? Can you trust? Well,
43:49
I mean, what's the difference between what Steven Spielberg
43:51
is now doing for the white house? Spielberg
43:54
is now helping
43:56
him orchestrate propaganda.
44:00
orchestrate how
44:02
to lie to the American people
44:05
and pull it off. What is
44:07
the difference? Does
44:09
nobody on the left care about the truth anymore? I
44:14
think the average Democrat does care about the
44:16
truth, but the left certainly doesn't.
