or in store. I want to talk to
0:31
you a little bit about ammo squared. Ammo
0:33
squared will help you be prepared. It will
0:36
help you stock up on ammunition if you
0:38
need them for practice, for hunting, for,
0:40
you know, break down a society, whatever it is.
0:43
That way you can defend yourself and you
0:45
don't have to worry about, you know,
0:47
your ammo. It just automatically does it every
0:49
single month. You get a
0:51
subscription and you choose what you want,
0:53
how much you want, how often
0:55
you want it, then quietly and consistently
0:57
your ammo stack just kind of
0:59
grows and it's stored for you in a
1:01
secure vault until you want it and
1:04
then they'll send it right to your door.
1:06
You can pause, adjust, ship, liquidate whenever
1:08
you want. All you have to do is
1:10
just go to AmmoSquared.com. This is the
1:12
great, I think the best way to be
1:14
able to have ammo on hand, especially
1:16
if you shoot a lot. AmmoSquared.com,
1:18
AmmoSquared.com, take the work
1:20
out of buying ammo.
1:22
100 ,000 members and
1:24
100 ,000, you know, five
1:26
star ratings cannot be
1:28
wrong. It's AmmoSquared.com. That's
1:30
AmmoSquared.com. All right. It's
1:32
a freak. Hang on. We're
1:35
from Washington, DC. We'll tell you what's going on in
1:37
the world in just a second. From
2:43
our nation's capital, Washington, DC, it
2:45
is the Glenn Beck program. Why
2:48
am I here? I'll tell you about
2:50
that coming up. Also, we want to talk
2:52
really. I have a
2:54
few things to say about
2:56
all of this back
2:59
and forth on Donald Trump
3:01
being again as dangerous
3:03
as Hitler because he's sending
3:05
people out. He's liquidating
3:07
people. He's what? He
3:09
is going to do the...
3:11
Every time he takes an illegal
3:13
immigrant out, he is closer to
3:15
taking out an African -American, a citizen.
3:19
Are you even listening to yourself? I'm going
3:21
to give you the real facts that
3:23
you can share with your friends coming up
3:25
later on in the program. I
3:27
also want to talk about
3:29
this nonsense back and forth
3:31
that platforms one way or
3:33
another should not voice opinions. Now,
3:36
I guess our side is saying
3:38
that we shouldn't We shouldn't allow some
3:40
people to be heard. Excuse
3:43
me? No, I think
3:45
everybody has this upside down and inside
3:47
out. I'll explain that coming up.
3:49
Also, the Pope died while you were
3:51
asleep. We'll have the latest on
3:53
that and what it all means in
3:55
60 seconds. First, let me tell
3:57
you about our sponsor this half hour,
3:59
its relief factor. There is something
4:01
deeply human about being useful, about
4:03
moving with purpose, about carrying the
4:05
groceries, fixing the fence, even mowing
4:07
the yard. When the smallest task
4:09
that you can, you know, can
4:11
do will give shape to your
4:13
day and it will also give
4:15
your life a little bit of
4:18
meaning. I was talking to my
4:20
sister about my aunt yesterday and
4:22
she said, you know, she doesn't
4:24
like it when people come over
4:26
and tell her exactly what she
4:28
has to do. And I know, I
4:30
know, I don't like it. I don't think
4:32
I'm gonna like it when I'm 90, you know.
4:35
I like to be in charge of my
4:37
own destiny. What happens when pain
4:39
starts taking that usefulness away in
4:41
your own head when every movement becomes
4:43
a calculation? When you start handing
4:45
off the things you used to do
4:47
without giving it a second thought?
4:50
Well, that's why you need relief factor.
4:52
Four natural ingredients. No drugs, no gimmicks. Just a
4:54
real shot of getting your usefulness back because
4:57
you weren't made to sit on the sidelines. You
4:59
were made to build, to carry, to lift,
5:01
to move, to live. It's
5:03
Relief Factor, 1995. Try
5:05

5:09
day. Call 800 the number four

5:16
right, so yesterday for
5:18
Easter, by the way, happy
5:20
Easter, Stu. Happy Easter,
5:22
go ahead. A day after Easter.
5:25
Yes, 364 days till
5:27
the next one. Thank you
5:29
very much. Wow, how do you do that? Are
5:31
you a mathematician? No
5:33
JD Vance JD Vance was with
5:35
the Pope on Easter and then
5:37
the Pope dies That's all I'm
5:39
gonna say. I'm just gonna leave
5:42
it there. I'm just gonna you
5:44
draw your own conclusions America No,
5:46
he had a good conversation apparently
5:48
with the Pope And the Pope
5:50
died he was very very sick
5:52
in the hospital. He had pneumonia
5:54
So we're we're back to the
5:57
we're back to the voting for
5:59
a new Pope now if I
6:01
may Let me just
6:03
tell you a story that I
6:05
don't think most in the
6:07
media even understand and if they
6:09
do they certainly won't touch
6:11
it But I was there back
6:13
in 2013 I think Rob.
6:15
What did we decide it was
6:17
12 or 13 something like
6:19
that? I was I was
6:21
at the Vatican. I was supposed to
6:24
meet with the Pope I met
6:26
instead with a bunch of the high
6:28
advisors for the Pope and
6:30
it was Pope Benedict at the
6:32
time. And I just
6:34
want to talk to you about
6:36
what I learned there and
6:38
what we need to understand on
6:40
this last Pope because there
6:42
was a quiet coup inside of
6:44
the walls of the Vatican. The
6:47
first public victim of
6:50
the deep state was not
6:52
a president of the
6:54
United States. It was the
6:56
Pope, wasn't a priest, wasn't a
6:58
whistleblower, It was Pope Benedict. Benedict
7:01
wasn't just a conservative, although
7:03
he was a staunch conservative.
7:05
He was absolutely immovable. He
7:08
was elected in 2005. He stood
7:10
for everything the modern world wanted the
7:12
church to abandon. He was moral. He
7:15
had moral clarity. He
7:17
was a traditionalist and a spiritual
7:19
authority. And my
7:21
first, my first realization that
7:23
Pope Francis was going to
7:25
be none of these things is
7:28
when the media was talking about, you know,
7:30
they kept doing the white smoke and the black
7:32
smoke and they finally had, I don't remember
7:34
what it is, the white or the black smoke
7:37
and it came out and they knew they
7:39
had a pope and so they were waiting and
7:41
they were speculating. Everybody on CNN and ABC,
7:43
they were all speculating. Who could it possibly be?
7:46
And they started to speculate and they would
7:48
say, oh, it's probably this cardinal. Oh,
7:50
he's a real hardliner. He's going to be
7:52
really bad, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
7:54
Then they finally came up to this pope.
7:57
I don't remember what his real
7:59
name is, but you know, they
8:01
mentioned him and they said, well,
8:03
we don't know much about him.
8:06
And within 10 minutes, everybody on
8:08
every network started talking about how
8:10
great he was going to be.
8:12
He was practically Jesus. And
8:14
then when he when he was
8:16
named Francis, oh, see, he is
8:19
Jesus or St. Francis, take your
8:21
pick. And I remember looking
8:23
at used to and saying, oh, boy,
8:25
we're in trouble. They like him. This
8:27
guy's gonna be a nightmare. So
8:31
you had, you had a
8:33
Benedict who would not compromise
8:35
on life, no surrender on
8:37
marriage, no applause for, you
8:39
know, the modern world. and
8:42
the globalist hated him. The
8:44
media called him rigid, progressive,
8:46
called him dangerous, and
8:48
the machine went to work behind
8:50
closed doors because that machine is
8:52
in every government and make no
8:54
mistake, the Vatican is a government.
8:58
Scandal after scandal, corruption,
9:00
abuse, all real
9:02
problems, yes, but
9:04
they were used to discredit
9:06
this pope and to stabilize
9:08
his papacy. and he refused
9:10
to bend and then suddenly
9:12
in 2013 he resigns now
9:14
I remember when this happened
9:17
gang let's let's let's put
9:19
this into what we now
9:21
know okay we now know
9:23
who replaced him we now
9:25
have seen the deep state
9:27
in governments all across the
9:29
world okay we have seen
9:31
people being voted for and
9:33
the deep state didn't like
9:35
him and so they say
9:37
nope not him We've
9:39
seen them throw people into
9:41
jail. Okay So by
9:43
2013 he resigns and he's
9:46
the first pope in
9:48
600 years to resign and
9:50
it's because he was
9:52
too frail. He was too
9:54
frail. He was too
9:56
tired Biden wasn't but Benedict
9:58
was Okay, and yet
10:00
he lived for nearly 10
10:02
years. He lived he
10:05
wrote He was speaking. He
10:07
was warning. He
10:09
stayed in the Vatican inside the walls.
10:11
He stayed in the Vatican. He
10:13
wore white. He signed
10:15
his name Pope Emeritus. That's
10:17
not retirement. That's
10:19
him. Not really resigning. That's
10:21
resistance. That's what that was
10:24
and into that vote void
10:26
came Pope Francis Okay, immediately
10:28
everything about the church changed.
10:30
There was global applause. Oh
10:32
my gosh climate change sermons
10:34
Remember those though. They were
10:36
great doctrinal ambiguity to the
10:39
where the point where Catholics
10:41
were like, wait a minute.
10:43
It what is he saying
10:45
here? Suddenly, the church is
10:47
less about salvation, more about
10:49
sustainability and collective salvation, less
10:51
moral compass, more moral relativism,
10:54
and it seemed as though
10:56
the fix was in. Now,
11:00
even members of some
11:02
press overseas were saying,
11:04
uh, this was a
11:06
coup. Apparently,
11:10
Benedict left a box, it's
11:12
called a white box, full
11:14
of scandal files. And
11:16
it was not a gift to
11:18
Pope Francis. It was a warning.
11:21
He knew he saw it
11:23
coming. So it
11:25
was in resignation. It was
11:27
a removal from office, a
11:29
soft coup by the progressive
11:31
faction inside the church who
11:33
was eager to align Rome
11:35
with Davos and make no
11:37
mistake, Davos was there. The
11:39
UN was there. You
11:41
know, all the global priorities of
11:43
the UN and Davos were there
11:45
that have nothing to do with
11:47
God. But now the
11:50
church was aligned with all of
11:52
it. I
11:54
remember going As
11:56
I said, we were supposed to meet with the Pope, and
11:59
I went and I met with several
12:01
cardinals, I think the good cardinals, and
12:03
I saw stuff that I had never
12:05
seen before. It
12:07
was amazing. I saw the
12:09
church as political and as
12:11
spiritual at the same time. I'm
12:14
a former Catholic, so I respect
12:17
the Catholic Church. I also, you
12:19
know, I'm no dummy. It
12:21
is a political organization. I
12:23
think most churches can, you
12:25
know, go that direction. But
12:27
it was especially one that's, you know,
12:30
what, 2000 years old, 1900
12:32
years old. I think it could
12:34
probably go awry from time to
12:36
time and go political because that's
12:38
what it that's what it was
12:40
for a very long time. And
12:42
I remember seeing the guy who I
12:44
think was in charge is Jason out
12:46
there. See if Jason could come in
12:48
for a second. There was
12:51
a guy that Jason was with me.
12:53
Can you, Rob, can you open up one of those mics?
12:55
you know? Jason,
12:59
remember when we were at the Vatican?
13:01
You were in the room. Remember that
13:03
big map room? It was like we
13:05
were in the Godfather. Yeah. Okay. I
13:07
don't remember what that place was, but
13:09
it was, you know, like near the
13:11
Vatican, right around the Vatican. And it
13:13
was a place where they went and
13:15
they held, you know, Dignitaries
13:18
and held functions there and it
13:20
was amazing. It was like a
13:22
three -story room that we were
13:24
in and they were the biggest
13:26
maps of the world I've ever
13:28
seen and all of the I
13:30
mean it was incredible and it
13:32
had to be 400 years old.
13:35
Would you agree with that? Oh,
13:37
yeah. Okay, so it's just steeped
13:39
in quite honestly Dan Brown kind
13:41
of. Totally Dan Brown. Right? Totally
13:43
that. And I had just gotten
13:45
out of the archives the night
13:47
of the day before and I
13:49
don't even know how I got
13:51
this invitation, but I was I
13:53
was given an invitation and even
13:55
the guy who consulted the Pope
13:57
for doctrinal issues When
14:00
we were, I don't know, a quarter of the
14:02
way into the archives, he was with me and I
14:04
asked him a question and he said, don't ask
14:06
me, ask him. I've never been allowed in here. And
14:09
the next day, when we were
14:11
getting a tour from the head
14:13
of the Vatican Museum, he
14:16
said, you'll never guess where they were
14:18
yesterday. And he said, you know, they
14:20
were in the Vatican archives. And
14:22
she stopped, she was the head of
14:24
the museum. She stopped and she looked at
14:26
me and she's like, Tell me about
14:28
it. What was that like? So
14:30
like, I don't know how we got in there, but
14:32
we were asked to go in. So
14:35
we're experiencing all of this stuff.
14:37
And that night we were with,
14:39
I don't even remember who they
14:41
were, but they were the most
14:43
Christlike, you know, cardinals and preachers
14:45
or whatever they were that I
14:47
had been with the whole time.
14:49
They were so kind. You could
14:51
just feel the goodness coming off
14:53
of. They were real servants of
14:55
God. And
14:57
we were all sitting around talking and
14:59
you could tell everybody's guard in
15:02
that group everybody's guard was up and
15:04
all of a sudden and I'm
15:06
not kidding you the room dropped 10
15:08
degrees and I happened to be
15:10
facing looking at the door way across
15:12
this huge room and Here comes
15:14
this guy. I don't know if he
15:17
was a cardinal. He was wasn't
15:19
he in charge of all of the
15:21
the pope's schedule or something like that. Yeah,
15:24
OK. So he was he was the
15:26
main guy that, you know, you had to
15:28
get by if you were going to
15:30
get to the pope and the room dropped.
15:33
It became cold. And
15:35
I said, holy cow, who
15:37
is that guy? And the whole the
15:40
whole group of really nice guys turned around
15:42
and looked at him and one of
15:44
them turned back and went, oh, you can
15:46
feel that. And I said, oh,
15:49
Yeah, just feel no offense. I
15:51
didn't know if they liked
15:53
him or not. I said no
15:55
offense, but He doesn't seem
15:57
like a good guy and he
16:00
was way across the room
16:02
and they were like, oh good
16:04
sense on you. Oh, no
16:06
He's leading the opposition. So he's
16:08
the guy I think that
16:10
was helping thwart Benedict and he
16:12
was on in the inside.
16:14
Okay, it's exactly the Trump story.
16:16
Would you agree? Yeah, it felt
16:19
like it felt almost like a
16:21
game of thrones in the Vatican.
16:23
Didn't it? That's the best. And
16:25
it was the weirdest, weirdest feeling.
16:27
Yeah. And it's exactly what we
16:29
saw in 2016. I had never
16:31
seen that before. But it's
16:33
exactly what we saw in 2016. It's
16:35
what we're now seeing in the
16:37
EU, where the people with power are
16:39
just taking people out. The
16:42
pattern here is really Familiar
16:44
because we've seen it in
16:46
Washington. We've seen it in
16:48
Hollywood. We've seen it in
16:50
the media. It's the replacement
16:52
of the immovable With those
16:54
who are more malleable the
16:56
strong Replaced by the inclusive
16:58
the faithful with the fashionable
17:00
That's what happened And this
17:02
deep state doesn't just run
17:05
in governments. It runs in
17:07
everything. It runs in institutions.
17:09
And when those institutions start
17:11
to resist the world's
17:14
direction, they're infiltrated, they're neutralized,
17:16
and they're repurposed. And
17:18
it is in everything. It
17:21
happened at the Vatican.
17:23
I saw it. And
17:25
Pope Benedict was the warning
17:28
shot that we all missed.
17:31
He was the first
17:33
Donald Trump. I believe
17:35
now What happens next? Are
17:38
we gonna get somebody you
17:40
know as the church is starting
17:42
to grow again the Catholic
17:44
Church is starting to grow and
17:46
it's growing with Generation Z
17:48
who are saying we want our
17:50
traditions back. We want marriage
17:52
We want truth. We want eternal
17:54
truth as it's laid out
17:56
in the Gospels of Jesus Christ
17:59
As it's growing, will
18:01
the church grow
18:04
in that direction? Or
18:06
has Francis put such a cabal
18:08
in there that you might get
18:10
somebody who says that but is
18:12
do - Is it going to
18:14
be, yeah, we just elected a
18:16
new guy and he's doing exactly
18:18
what the last guy did, just
18:20
the way it happens in our
18:22
government and every other government on
18:24
earth? We'll
18:26
see. It begins today. All
18:29
right, more in just a second. First,
18:31
let me tell you about the international fellowship
18:33
of Christians and Jews. Israel is
18:35
under attack still. Missile
18:37
fire has resumed from terrorist groups
18:39
dedicated to one thing, the complete destruction
18:41
of Israel and the death of
18:43
her people. And, you know, people are
18:45
cheering it on here in America.
18:47
It is crazy what's happening. You
18:50
put your kids to bed, you don't worry if
18:53
you're gonna have to grab them in the middle of
18:55
the night because there's a missile flying. I
18:57
mean, that doesn't... would never put
18:59
up with this. We
19:01
would never put up with going
19:03
to church and having to
19:05
worry about somebody coming into our
19:07
church and blowing our church
19:09
up or shooting all of the
19:11
members of the church. We
19:13
wouldn't do it. It's real, it's
19:15
right now, and it's happening
19:17
in Israel. That's why the International
19:19
Fellowship of Christians and Jews
19:21
is there. They are an organization
19:23
that is on the ground
19:25
every single day. They are providing
19:27
the critical equipment that saves
19:29
lives in times like this with
19:31
bomb shelters and flak jackets
19:33
and armored vehicles and armored ambulances
19:35
and everything else. And every
19:37
dollar you give goes directly toward
19:39
protecting those who need it
19:41
the most. Give a gift today
19:43
and help protect the people
19:45
of Israel. Go to supportIFCJ .org
19:47
or call 888 -488 -IFCJ. That's 888
19:49
-488 -IFCJ. 10 Seconds, Station ID. You're
20:05
not gonna hear that opinion anywhere. Do you think so?
20:09
Interesting Considering it happened very very
20:12
recently. It wasn't exactly the way
20:14
I thought you're gonna come out,
20:16
but that's all right interesting Interesting
20:18
start to the program as
20:20
usual. I mean, you know, I
20:22
wish I don't wish anybody any
20:24
harm obviously and you know, he
20:26
was a pope and
20:28
I have respect for the Pope, but I
20:30
have no respect for the policies that he
20:32
held. I'm not Catholic, so who am I
20:34
to say? It's, you know, I
20:37
might as well be talking about women, you
20:39
know, as astronauts. I've
20:41
never been to the moon, so what
20:43
do I know? I'm not a Catholic, so
20:45
I, you know, I don't mean to
20:47
impose my, but it is my viewpoint. And
20:50
what I witnessed there,
20:52
and it's really fascinating. It's
20:54
gonna be fascinating to
20:57
watch. You know yesterday I
20:59
posted on X something
21:01
that was happening in Where
21:03
was that in? Ethiopia
21:06
and I saw this thing
21:08
that happened on Easter Eve in
21:10
Ethiopia and there were there
21:12
had to be a million people
21:14
out in front of this
21:16
giant Cathedral and they were all
21:18
holding candles and and singing
21:20
and it was amazing Amazing what's
21:22
going on in Africa and
21:24
all over the world? People
21:27
are waking up again and
21:29
it will be interesting to see
21:31
what happens And who is
21:33
who is selected by those in
21:35
charge and You know, we've
21:38
seen it before where I think
21:40
there were like two popes
21:42
wasn't there two different popes that
21:44
died right before in between
21:46
Pope John Paul the second because
21:48
there was Pope John Paul
21:50
the first and he lived for
21:52
like ten days And
21:55
I think there was another one that died right before
21:57
that. They went through this and it was kind of
21:59
like God was like, no, not
22:01
him. Oh,
22:05
okay, John Paul. So we'll
22:07
see. Did you just swipe right on
22:09
him, Pope? Is that what you were doing? I did. I
22:11
just wanted to make sure. I mean, as God, I think
22:13
God was like, swipe right.
22:16
No. Yeah, people
22:19
are fascinated by this whole thing too,
22:21
right? They had the movie
22:23
that just came out, right, which where they
22:25
were, that was one of the best picture
22:27
nominations. People are,
22:29
again, I didn't see it. I
22:32
don't know. I'm not,
22:34
you know, as you are, I'm not
22:36
Catholic. I'm not all that
22:38
involved in the process other than
22:40
just kind of watch from afar.
22:42
But they're the - It's pretty
22:44
amazing. The wide range between Benedict
22:46
and Francis. is a really interesting
22:48
thing that the Catholic Church is going to
22:50
make a big decision on here real soon. And
22:53
that's going to be a fascinating
22:55
thing to watch. Yeah. Because it's
22:57
not just the future of the
22:59
church, but it's so influential in
23:02
our politics and globally. So yeah,
23:04
it's going to be an interesting
23:06
next few weeks. Will the church
23:08
turn back around, back towards tradition
23:10
and truth and the Bible? Or
23:12
is it going to keep going,
23:14
World Economic Forum? You
23:28
know that feeling when you clean, like you clean
23:30
out a closet that's been sitting there and you've
23:32
been wanting to do it and wanted to do
23:34
it. Maybe it's your garage and when you finish
23:36
that you're like the air feels cleaner, you know, you
23:38
didn't realize how much that clutter was affecting you
23:40
until it was all gone. Now imagine
23:42
feeling that way about your financing. all
23:45
the debt that you've been carrying around on
23:47
your shoulders, the car loans, the credit cards,
23:49
the personal loans, the random subscriptions.

23:53
of that? Had a team, your team, who
23:55

you're here. I want to take on
25:28
something else that I don't know maybe
25:30
I should just keep my big fat
25:32
mouth shut But because I think this
25:34
one's gonna piss off everybody, but it's
25:36
the truth There was a story in
25:38
the New York Times the podcaster asking
25:41
you to side with history's villains He
25:43
was in the New York Times. Let
25:45
me read some of it Daryl Cooper
25:47
is no scholar, but legions of fans
25:49
many on the right can't seem to
25:51
resist what he presents as hidden truths.
25:54
All of a sudden, everyone was coming for Daryl
25:56
Cooper. There were the newspaper
25:58
columnists, the historians, the Jewish groups, repugnant,
26:00
says the chairman of Yad Vashem,
26:02
Israel's Holocaust Museum in a statement. Even
26:05
the Biden White House released a statement
26:07
calling him a Holocaust denier who spreads Nazi
26:09
propaganda. So it was for a
26:11
time for Mr. Cooper, one of the most
26:13
popular podcasters in the country, to do what
26:15
he does best, hit record. In
26:17
a special episode of his history
26:19
program, murder made, Mr. Cooper addressed
26:22
the controversy, which had exploded out
26:24
of September 2nd appearance on The
26:26
Tucker Carlson Show, the podcast started
26:28
by the former Fox News host.
26:30
At first, Mr. Cooper, a gifted
26:32
historic storyteller, but not a
26:34
trained historian, defended the claims he
26:36
had made on Mr. Carlson Show, one
26:38
that Winston Churchill was the chief
26:40
villain of the war. Ridiculous. Not
26:43
by implication, Adolf Hitler.
26:46
the two and two that millions
26:48
had died in Nazi controlled Eastern
26:50
Europe because Nazis had not adequately
26:52
planned to feed them. Okay,
26:54
not true. Uh,
26:57
he then said, you know, the story goes
26:59
on to say then kind of retracted some of
27:01
that stuff. This emotional ventriloquism is part of
27:03
Mr. Cooper's approach and appeal. On TikTok, a fan
27:05
praised him as one of the best historians
27:07
of our time because he tries to go out
27:09
of his way to understand the perspective of
27:11
everyone involved in his situation. These
27:13
critics have probably helped make Mr.
27:16
Cooper bigger than ever. He has
27:18
been the most subscribed to history
27:20
newsletter on substack one spot ahead
27:22
of the eminent economic historian Adam
27:24
twos in the wake of the
27:26
Rogan interview Mart Martyr made blah
27:28
blah blah blah blah Okay, so
27:30
they go on and on and
27:32
on to talk about how this
27:34
just can't stand. I mean we've
27:36
got to there's got to be
27:39
some sort of Filter and you
27:41
know Joe Rogan just can't have
27:43
on whoever he wants to have
27:45
on that's the problem Is it?
27:47
New York Times? Is that the
27:49
problem? Hmm. It's
27:51
really interesting. Now
27:53
let me just look and let
27:55
me just look in the past
27:57
here and see if we've had
27:59
this exact same problem with anybody
28:01
else. Because the person
28:04
that came to mind was
28:06
not Daryl Cooper, but Nicole
28:08
Hannah -Jones. Because I think those
28:10
two are the same coin.
28:13
And the coin's counterfeit, but
28:15
Just opposite sides of the
28:17
same coin the martyr made
28:19
podcast spins a tale of
28:21
grievance and distrust and it's
28:23
wrapped enough in enough fact
28:25
to keep it plausible But
28:27
there are some facts in
28:29
there, okay Jones she did
28:31
the 1619 project She did
28:33
the same thing in reverse
28:35
except I think she's actually
28:37
worse. I mean Because I
28:39
think she made up almost
28:41
everything in that She recasts
28:43
American history as racist from
28:45
the very inception of the
28:47
country. Neither one of them is telling
28:49
the whole truth. Neither one of them. Neither
28:52
one wants to, I think. They're
28:54
both in the business of narrative
28:56
and not history. So am
28:58
I. But I try to be
29:00
fair. The real
29:02
problem is not these
29:04
two. Honestly, it's
29:06
the New York Times. because
29:09
in their Sunday Styles right up
29:11
on Cooper, the Times
29:13
poses as a concerned
29:15
observer, wary of growing influence
29:17
among the disaffected right. Why
29:20
are we disaffected? Why is
29:22
the right disaffected? We're disaffected
29:24
because you have tried to take our
29:26
country from us, everything that we
29:28
believe, our history, our values, our traditions,
29:30
and you've tried to denigrate them
29:32
and destroy them every step of the
29:34
way. And you've done it with
29:36
one lie right after another. Okay
29:40
Why are they framing him
29:42
not with facts but with suspicion?
29:45
Not because he's dishonest or not
29:47
dishonest but because he's popular They
29:50
clutch their pearls because he has
29:52
an audience and only the New
29:54
York Times can have that audience
29:56
But where was that concern when
29:58
they did? when they gave an
30:00
audience to Nicole Hannah Jones and
30:03
gave her a Pulitzer for a
30:05
project now so discredited by the
30:07
very historians that are now talking
30:09
about Cooper. Where
30:11
was the caution when they
30:13
declared that 1619, not 1776,
30:15
was the true founding of
30:17
the nation? They didn't question
30:19
her authority. They didn't
30:21
say, well, she's not a historian.
30:23
They printed it. In fact, they
30:26
taught it and endorsed it. They
30:28
platformed it in schools. That's
30:30
different than anything that Joe Rogan
30:32
is doing. They platformed
30:35
it in schools. So let's
30:37
be clear, okay? I
30:39
think both Cooper and Jones are
30:41
wrong. They
30:43
may have points worth considering. But
30:46
I think that they get
30:48
it fundamentally wrong in a
30:50
few places. They are looking
30:52
at facts to tell the
30:54
story and not necessarily reveal
30:56
the truth. Now, maybe I'm
30:58
being too cynical, but that's
31:00
the way I see it.
31:02
And I'm not condemning either
31:04
one. I'm condemning all of
31:06
those on the left or
31:08
the right that are now
31:10
doing the same thing that
31:12
the New York Times did
31:14
with Cooper. but didn't do
31:16
with Hannah Nicole Jones. Only
31:19
one of those two was
31:21
lauded by the New York Times
31:23
as legitimate and a necessary
31:26
corrective, even though it was all
31:28
a lie made up. So
31:30
that's what, when I'm reading that
31:32
op -ed in the New York Times,
31:34
I can't take the, oh my gosh,
31:36
the hypocritical nature of it. I
31:38
just, blood shoots out of my eyes.
31:42
Because that's what the New York
31:44
Times is actually saying. Don't
31:46
you little people understand? We must
31:48
decide what stories are acceptable.
31:51
Not you. Not somebody
31:53
like Joe Rogan. We
31:55
will decide which distortions are
31:57
virtuous and which ones are dangerous.
31:59
Not you. We get to
32:01
choose the false prophets that get
32:03
a column which and which
32:06
ones are called conspiracy theorists. We
32:08
at the New York Times.
32:10
We in the media. And
32:13
that is the problem.
32:16
This isn't about the authors. Okay,
32:19
First Amendment gives them a right to say
32:21
whatever they want. You may not like it. If
32:23
you don't like it, stop listening. Well,
32:25
but other people might listen.
32:27
Yeah, well, other people might listen.
32:29
And maybe we should pay
32:32
more attention to our education in
32:34
our schools. Maybe we should
32:36
pay more attention so we don't
32:38
become somebody that is a
32:40
dummy. themselves and are,
32:42
because this is the problem.
32:44
We don't have a press that
32:46
exposes lies anymore. We have
32:48
a press that curates the
32:51
lies. I
32:54
really think this is why I
32:56
started collecting, you know,
32:58
we have now the third largest
33:00
collection of founding documents in
33:02
the American Journey experience along with
33:04
David Barton's wall builders. It
33:06
is It's only behind the National
33:08
Archives and the Library of
33:10
Congress. Most people don't know it
33:12
because, you know, we don't talk
33:14
about it yet. Beginning in 26, we're going to
33:16
be making a big deal out of it. We
33:19
also have the largest collection
33:21
of pilgrim -era artifacts and documents
33:23
in the world. The largest. So
33:26
I can tell you what happened
33:28
in Jamestown in 1619. I can tell
33:30
you this, the ship that Hannah
33:32
Nicole Jones talks about, there were no
33:34
slaves on that ship. How do
33:36
I know? We have the manifest. No
33:39
slaves. Hmm.
33:42
That seems problematic, doesn't it?
33:45
And the Mayflower did not launch
33:47
a system of slavery. In fact,
33:49
they fought against it. We...
33:52
I mean, girls are so
33:55
crazy. What the
33:57
Pilgrims did against slavery
33:59
was remarkable. Remarkable.
34:01
When a slave ship accidentally came into
34:03
their port. It was slavery was
34:05
against the law. They called it man
34:07
stealing. It was against the law
34:09
and as soon as that slave came
34:11
into port you could smell a
34:13
slave ship They knew exactly what it
34:15
was and they marched marched up
34:17
and they arrested the captain of the
34:19
ship They put him in irons
34:21
and put him in jail and then
34:23
these people who are already paying
34:25
50 % of everything they made these
34:27
poor people 50 % of everything they
34:29
made to a king that they despised
34:31
but they paid it because they
34:33
wanted just to stay alive. They
34:35
took up a collection from
34:38
each other, not outside, from
34:40
each other. Got
34:42
a new captain, refueled, restocked the
34:44
ship and sent those people, those
34:46
slaves back to Africa so they
34:48
could be freed. That's who our
34:51
pilgrims were. Don't believe me, you
34:53
don't have to take my word
34:55
for it. We have the evidence.
34:59
Please. You know what? The longest running
35:01
treaty with Native Americans happened with
35:03
our pilgrims. And you know who broke
35:05
it? Not the white man. It
35:08
was the Native Americans. And you know why? because
35:10
after years and years of the pilgrims
35:13
and the Native Americans getting along Christianity
35:15
was starting to seep into their culture
35:17
and they needed to go to war
35:19
with the tribe and the war that
35:21
the way they used to fight it
35:23
the Native Americans were it was okay
35:25
to enslave your enemy in fact you
35:27
needed to you could torture them after
35:29
you won just to make a point
35:31
and then you can enslave anybody you
35:33
wanted And Christianity said, no, you can't
35:35
do either one of those things. And
35:37
so the Native Americans that were part
35:39
of this tribe that were friends and
35:42
under this treaty with the pilgrims, they
35:44
started telling their chief, you know, we
35:46
can't do these things. And the chief
35:48
got so pissed because he's like, we're
35:50
fighting a war and we're fighting it
35:52
the way we've always fought it, that
35:54
they broke the treaty. Did you
35:56
know that? No, no, we were
35:58
just horrible. We stole the land. Oh,
36:02
yeah, yeah, yeah. Did America?
36:05
Live up to its ideals. No
36:07
has anybody ever have you has
36:09
the Pope has anybody really lived
36:11
up to their ideals all the
36:13
time No, but you have ideals
36:15
and that's what matters by the
36:17
way on the other side I
36:19
also happen to own a few
36:21
original Nazi documents from the actual
36:23
perpetrators I've got documents from the
36:26
engineer that actually calculated how much
36:28
Zyclon be it would take to
36:30
murder a room full of Joe
36:32
Jews, okay? It wasn't because
36:34
they have
36:36
enough food. This was calculated.
36:39
I have the final prescription signed
36:41
by Dr. Mangala for a thousand
36:43
liters of luminol for the so -called
36:45
children's hospital. That's how the Reich
36:47
was killing the undesirables in the
36:49
children's hospital. They didn't do it
36:51
in a frenzy. It wasn't in
36:54
a riot. It wasn't out
36:56
of desperation. It was silence
36:58
in lab coats with bureaucrats and
37:00
experts signing off and the
37:02
press, like the New York Times,
37:04
refusing to say a word
37:06
about it. The scariest people
37:08
are not the ones in the streets. They
37:11
weren't. They were the ones with
37:13
titles, with offices, with press credentials. They
37:16
were the ones with the doctorates. They
37:19
were the people who decided what
37:21
could be published. Who could be
37:23
punished? What could be known? What could
37:25
be said? And that's
37:27
the danger that we're staring
37:29
down right now, not from
37:31
fringe theorists on a podcast,
37:33
not even from overzealous academics
37:35
with a Pulitzer, but from
37:37
the institutions that bless one
37:39
distortion and condemn the other. Not
37:42
based on truth, but based on
37:44
usefulness. Is it useful to our
37:46
side? I just want you to
37:48
know. This is my stance
37:51
on this and make this very very
37:53
clear. The First
37:55
Amendment does not exist to
37:57
protect comfortable speech. It
37:59
doesn't exist to protect Cooper
38:01
as opposed to Jones. It
38:04
exists to protect both of
38:06
them. It protects uncomfortable
38:08
points of view things you
38:10
do not like to hear.
38:12
and disagreement. It protects people
38:15
who are absolutely wrong and
38:17
even those who are lying.
38:20
It protects the process so
38:23
you can figure it out.
38:25
There is no licensed priesthood
38:27
in our country. You know,
38:29
that are the priesthood of
38:31
truth tellers. No official ministry
38:34
of facts. That's where countries
38:36
go wrong. The times
38:38
should be exposing both sides
38:40
of these stories just
38:42
like I'm doing. The distortions
38:44
of the right and
38:47
the left but instead They
38:49
become exactly what they've
38:51
warned us about a newspaper
38:53
that prints dogma and
38:55
not dialogue and The real
38:57
problem here No, the
38:59
real solution here is you
39:01
Jefferson warned that a
39:04
man who reads nothing But
39:06
newspapers Sorry, a man
39:08
who reads nothing is better
39:10
informed than a man who only
39:12
reads the newspaper. Okay, I
39:14
would say the newspaper is today's
39:16
social media. Man who reads
39:18
nothing is more well educated than
39:20
a man who just only
39:22
reads social media. But today we
39:24
might say better to be
39:26
ignorant than confidently misled by trusted
39:29
media. They see themselves not as
39:31
a watchdog, but as a shepherd and we
39:33
are the sheep. So
39:35
I'm not defending either one I'm
39:37
defending the idea that we the
39:39
people not the institutions not the
39:41
elites not the New York Times
39:43
not Joe Rogan You decide what's
39:45
true and that takes work and
39:47
it takes curiosity Maybe the other
39:50
guy's wrong. I don't know. Maybe
39:52
I don't have the whole story
39:54
either. I don't know look it
39:56
up Because the minute you let
39:58
somebody else decide what you're allowed
40:00
to hear you have already surrendered
40:02

43:25
I, uh, I have
43:27
a few things to say about what's
43:29
happening with the return of the
43:31
illegals. That is, this is an outrage.
43:33
We have got to stop. This
43:35
is, do you know,
43:37
this was actually a point
43:39
of view on MSNBC. One, that
43:42
this is exactly what Hitler did. Surprise,
43:44
surprise. And next, this is,
43:46
this is just Donald Trump lulling African
43:48
Americans to sleep. You're next. He's
43:50
going to deport you. Are
43:56
we really this stupid that we're
43:58
just going to allow this, and
44:01
why the concentration on this? We'll
44:03
talk about it next. This is Glenn
44:05
