Introduction

In this standout episode of The Glenn Beck Program hosted by the Blaze Podcast Network, Glenn Beck dives deep into the tumultuous landscape of American protests, drawing parallels between past and present unrest. Joined by guests Chad Bianco and Tony Moon, Beck unpacks the complexities behind the current wave of demonstrations sweeping across Los Angeles and other major cities.

1. Analyzing the Current Protests

Glenn Beck opens the discussion by questioning the origins and motivations behind the recent protests in Los Angeles and other American cities. He challenges the notion that these movements are purely grassroots, suggesting instead that there are orchestrated forces at play manipulating public sentiment.

Notable Quote:
"We're not dory. We're not dory. Remember, it's the 250th anniversary of the military on Saturday." — Glenn Beck [12:45]

2. Governor Gavin Newsom’s Role

Beck scrutinizes California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent statements and policies, accusing him of waging a “war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself.” He posits that Newsom's actions are undermining foundational American values and institutions, including the First Amendment.

Notable Quote:
"He's delegitimizing news organizations, and he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding them." — Glenn Beck [05:30]

3. The Concept of a Color Revolution

Delving into more serious allegations, Beck introduces the idea that the current unrest is part of a larger "color revolution" orchestrated by foreign entities, specifically referencing the CIA. He warns of a systematic effort to destabilize American democracy through funded and controlled movements rather than spontaneous public outrage.

Notable Quote:
"This is part of the color revolution. We do color revolutions all over the world. We've toppled governments." — Glenn Beck [07:15]

4. Media Complicity and Leadership Failures

Beck criticizes mainstream media outlets and local leadership for failing to adequately address or report on the true nature of the protests. He accuses figures like Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom of perpetuating misleading narratives that cloud public understanding and hinder effective responses.

Notable Quote:
"The media is not that important... As they are lying to you and feeding you the Gavin Newsom thing, feeding you now yesterday, the Nancy Pelosi thing..." — Glenn Beck [10:50]

5. Interview with Tony Moon: Reflections on the 1992 LA Riots

In a pivotal segment, Tony Moon, a "rooftop Korean" who was actively involved in the 1992 Los Angeles riots, shares his firsthand experiences. Moon contrasts the organic nature of the 1992 unrest—driven by genuine community frustrations after the Rodney King verdict—with today's protests, which he claims are centralized and influenced by NGOs promoting a Marxist agenda.

Notable Quote:
"The 1992 riots were organic... whereas today's riots are centralized and not organic." — Tony Moon [20:34]

Moon elaborates on the motivations of young participants during the 1992 riots, emphasizing that they were community-driven responses to systemic injustices, as opposed to the current movements he views as externally manipulated.

6. Protecting Small Businesses: Insights from Tony Moon

Building on his experiences, Tony Moon offers practical advice to small business owners on safeguarding their establishments during times of unrest. He underscores the importance of proactive measures such as boarding up stores and employing deterrence strategies to prevent looting.

Notable Quote:
"Deterrence is actually really great because these individuals are looking for low-hanging fruit... if you see that you're armed, they'll think twice." — Tony Moon [29:12]

Conclusion

Glenn Beck wraps up the episode by urging listeners to remain vigilant and informed. He emphasizes the importance of understanding constitutional rights and not relying solely on mainstream media narratives. Beck calls for individual responsibility in maintaining order and countering what he perceives as orchestrated threats to American democracy.

Closing Remarks:
"This moment we have feared has arrived. Educate yourself on the Constitution, know what you're supposed to do, and make sure that you are not dependent on any system that you're dependent on yourself." — Glenn Beck [31:22]

Key Takeaways:

Orchestrated Protests: Glenn Beck posits that current protests are not purely grassroots but part of a larger, orchestrated movement aimed at destabilizing American institutions.
Leadership and Media Critique: There's a strong critique of political leaders and mainstream media for perpetuating misleading narratives that obscure the true nature of the unrest.
Historical Parallels: Through Tony Moon's insights, the episode draws sharp contrasts between the organic frustrations leading to the 1992 LA riots and today's centralized protests.
Self-Reliance and Vigilance: Beck advocates for personal responsibility, urging listeners to educate themselves and take proactive measures to protect their communities and businesses.

This episode serves as a comprehensive analysis of the current socio-political climate in America, blending historical perspective with contemporary critique to offer listeners a nuanced understanding of the forces shaping today's protests.

A mostly peaceful good morning to you. Mostly Peaceful good morning to you too. That is great. I feel somewhat insecure now, but it was mostly peaceful. Your greeting. Also. I say hi to Jason Buttrill who is up at the ranch this week and because we've been working on some stuff including the everything that is going on in Los Angeles what's coming on Saturday? Wait. I mean, just wait. I mean, I. I think we had kind of the closest we'll get to a declaration of war from Gavin Newsom yesterday. I want you to play the Gavin Newsom. What he looked into the camera and had the balls to say yesterday. Listen to this. He's declared a war. A war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases, quite literally, are vanishing. He's delegitimizing news organizations, and he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding them. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I just. I. Is he talking about George Soros? Is he talking about the professors in our universities? Is he talking about the entire Democratic Party? No, he's just talking about Donald Trump. It is remarkable to me how he says this is an attack on science, on truth, on our history, how he's delegitimizing that. I mean, are you kidding me? But wait, there's more at threat. He's dictating what universities themselves can teach. He's targeting. Stop, stop. Donald Trump is now dictating what universities can teach? Well, yeah, because you got rid of all questioning, of everything. I mean, I don't have a problem. You want to teach that there's 800 different, you know, sexuality or whatever, you know, genders. You want to. You want to. You want to teach that, fine. But don't tell me that's all I can teach. Don't tell me that I have to sit there and take it. No, you know, please, Gabby. But I digress. This isn't even the part I wanted you to hear. Go ahead. More the judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly. And going after the judicial branch. He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no reason. Okay, can we stop? Stop. I'm sorry, I can't. Never gonna get to the important part. It's impossible to let that slide. They just spent four years trying to put the person he's talking about in prison. Yeah, and they're just shocked that any political figure would consider putting one of his political opponents in jail. They're considering arresting me. The governor of a state, not the guy who's actually currently president of the United States. I mean, it's absolutely. It's as if. It's bonkers. Yeah, it's bonkers. It's as if they believe we forget every day, the next day like we're in an Adam Sandler movie or something. That's not how this works. Let me just say this to you, to all of The Democrats who are currently scheming and planning all these things and writing these speeches. The American public is not dory. We're not dory. We remember what you did yesterday and what you did just a few minutes ago. We remember those things. By the way, he goes on to say, and they want to put me just because I was elected. Okay, all right, let's move on. What else for getting elected? And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday. Just stop. Oh, my. I can't take it. Okay, so there's a military parade in Washington, D.C. donald Trump has always loved these military parades. He's never done a military parade. You know why he's doing it this year? Because it's the military of the United States States government. It is the 250th birthday. He's not putting it on for his birthday. It just happens to fall on the same day as his birthday. He's putting the military parade on to celebrate the 250th birthday of the military. I mean, how. How stupid do you have to be? Well, you have to be dumb enough to live in California to believe this guy. I mean, but anyway, I digress. That wasn't even the point either. He's getting to the point. Listen, failed dictators have done in the past. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. That's it. That's the line I want you to hear. The moment democracy is under attack. The moment we have feared has arrived. So everything that they have been building up, that Donald Trump is a dictator. That Donald Trump is going to take over. That Donald Trump is going to take away everybody's rights. That Donald Trump is going to use the military to put people and have them disappeared in the streets. That he's a failed dictator. All of this stuff, everything they've been planting, he's just announced has arrived. Now, if that moment has arrived, what are you supposed to do about it? This is the biggest problem with my job, because I'm telling you this moment has arrived. So what am I telling you to do? To educate yourself on the Constitution, on civics. Know what you're supposed to do. Ready? Double your effort on trying to find the truth. Don't believe everything you see on TV or on the Internet, either from the left or the right. Do your own homework. I'm trying to make you independent. Make sure that you are not dependent on any system that you're dependent on yourself and you're ready to serve others. What are they saying? Well, we know Hamas yesterday came out and said it's time. There is no red line for any Muslim in America. It's time to assassinate all those who like Israel, help. Israel will stand with Israel. Anybody who, you know, kill anybody in the family of Donald Trump, anybody in the family of our vice president to kill anyone in his cabinet and their family, anyone in Congress and their family. And there is no red line. Well, so we know that. Of course. I haven't heard Gavin Newsom. I mean, they're all in bed with all of these people. I mean, there. This is an Islamist communist movement. They're in bed with them. Have you heard anybody come out and denounce that? Nope. Are they. What are they saying? Get to the streets. Because they may not be saying that to you, but they are saying it behind closed doors. And we're going to show you tonight on tv, my Wednesday night special. Jason and I have been working on this all week to try to get enough of this ready for you, to show you all the connections. This is very well orchestrated. We can show you who is funding it. We can show you where it's coming from, who's running it. It is disappointing to me that we don't have the administration working as loudly as they should be. I know that. I think it was Kash Patel came out and said they are going after the funders. But this is the only message that we should be giving people, is don't believe any of this. This is not, this is not grassroots. This isn't just spontaneous. This has been planned for a very long time. This is part of the color revolution. And by, in case you don't know, the color revolution is something that we have planted as a CIA. We, we do color revolutions all over the world. We topple governments all over the world. We've done it forever. And they're called, it's a very specific plan. It's called color revolution. We know how it's done. And, and I've been telling you for the last four years, five years that a color revolution is happening to us. And I showed you all of the evidence. I showed you the names of the people. I showed you how they were connected. I showed you usaid. I showed you everything before anybody was talking about it and showed you that this is a color revolution and it is coming here to America now. Thank God, there are many people online now that have just as good information that I have, and they are starting to Find it themselves and show it themselves. Some of them with personal experience in some of these agencies. And those are the voices that you need to listen to, the ones who are telling you and showing you with facts, not just little speeches, but showing you with facts exactly what's going on now. Who do you not listen to? Well, you don't listen to people like Nancy Pelosi. Remember, we have Nancy Pelosi on tape filmed by her own daughter on January 6, saying, this is my fault. I should have allowed the National Guard in. They warned us. The President, we know as a fact, called multiple times, many days in advance and said, look, January 6th is going to be a tough day. I have the National Guard standing by. Just do you want it? And Nancy Pelosi in her office said no over and over and over again. So what does she say? When was this? What's the date today? Is today the 11th? 11th? Yes, she just said this. She just said this yesterday. Listen to this. In a bipartisan way. On January 6, with Violence against the Constitution, against the Congress, and against the United States Capitol, we beg the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. Stop. Not true in any way, shape or form. This is not a half truth. This is a bald face lie. Not true in any way, shape or form. She did not beg on January 6th. Instead, the White House was begging them. They are ready. They're waiting. They can be there. No, no, no. Days before and on January 6th. Go ahead. He would not do it. Not only would he not do it when law enforcement people were being harmed, some later died, he would not send him from unrelated injuries when his an instigation that he. An insurrection that he incited was causing damage to those who protect the Capitol. Why wouldn't they charge if he incited an insurrection, he clearly cannot be President of the United States. If you had that evidence, why didn't you charge him with that? Because you have no evidence. Because that is not true. You have to then present to a court. Okay, this is what he said about the National Guard. He was trying to send the National Guard. He was. His people were calling during the insurrection saying, please, you want the National Guard. And nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Okay, so that's why you don't charge him with insurrection, because it's not true. But they can say anything. They can say anything. And the media laps it up. Good thing is, media is not that important. By the way, I have an announcement coming up in just a little while. At the top of the second hour, in just, just A few minutes on the media and where they are and gosh darn it, it couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people. But as they are, as they are lying to you and feeding you the Gavin Newsome thing, feeding you now yesterday, the Nancy Pelosi thing where she says, and now, just like any dictator, California doesn't need it and he's sending in the National Guard. It's fascinating how these people just think they can get away. We're not dory. Again. We're not dory. I remember, okay? It's not a coincidence. I think it's 225 or 255 times in the Bible, the Lord uses the word remember, okay? Whenever he says something once or twice, you should pay attention to it. When he says it 225 times, remember, it's probably important. That is our biggest problem. We don't remember. That is the biggest thing you can do. You want to stop all this chaos? You want to stop this nonsense. Remember, remember it's the 250th anniversary of the military on Saturday. Remember that it also happens to be Donald Trump's birthday. So when they say he's doing it on his birthday, they're not lying, but they are leaving out the truth, that it is the 250th birthday. So this is a celebration, a 250th anniversary. What is coming up next year? Our 250th year anniversary. Anybody remember the bicentennial, 1976? It was everywhere. Everything we did for a year was to celebrate the 200th anniversary. This is now the 250th anniversary. And so this is a 250th anniversary parade. You have to be informed with the facts. You have to remember it and you have to hold people responsible for it.

Soon Ja Do Doo is convicted of voluntary manslaughter but is sentenced only to parole in a small fine. The black community is outraged and remembers what, six months probation. I mean, the people were pissed then. Today, local Korean radio is broadcasting which stores in the area are threatened. Young men like Eddie Kim rush over to try to defend them. I don't care about the racism.
