Hey, it's Pat Gray for Stu on the Glenn Beck program. Today on the podcast, we'll speak with Mike Pompeo and talk about Cav PAC or the Champion American Values Pack. Their goal is to support conservative candidates ahead of the midterm election and the 2024 presidential election. Also, President Biden continues to make the U.S. look bad while he's hanging around the Europeans at the G7 summit. A local Fox reporter revealed on air that she's been secretly working with Project Veritas and is working towards exposing the company for silencing the reporters. Apparently she's going to release behind the scenes footage. We'll also look at what cases the Supreme Court is taking on soon.

And finally, Glenn is hosting his first art show in Park City, the Park City Fine Art with all proceeds going to Mercury One and the American Journey Experience Museum. And guarantee, that will be very much. better than Hunter Biden's finger paintings. All this and lots more coming up today on the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. To have the former U.S. Secretary of State, former CIA director, and chairman of Cav PAC,

which he'll talk about here in just a second, Mike Pompeo on with us. Hello, Mike. How are you? Good morning, Glenn. It's great to be with you on your show today. Thank you very much. appreciate it. And I really sincerely mean I really appreciate everything you have done for the country and honestly for the world, especially Israel and the Middle East. What you guys pulled off is

absolutely amazing. And I hate to see it torpedoed like it's being, but thank you for that. Well, Glenn, thank you for the kind words. We did do good work, important work for the American people, important work for the people of Israel and the relationship between our two countries. It has been, I'll be honest, it has been a top 140 or whatever the heck number of days it is to watch them already begin to undo what was really going to create prosperity and peace in the region. I think the Abraham Accords will withstand it, but it's going to take a lot of effort, a lot of effort from people who are diligent in making sure that those relationships don't deteriorate under this submission. I have to tell you, you know, Joe Biden, even going in to meet with,

with Putin is a little like mini mouse trying to have a civil conversation with peg leg Pete. I mean, there's no strength there at all. No strength. How do you suggest those meetings are going to go? Glenn, these are high-stakes things. I watched President Trump go through it when I met with Chairman Kim. These were big events.

You had to be ready. It was really sad because the setup is always so important. Here the setup was we began by joining the people. Paris Climate Accords telling Vladimir Putin he'll be the world's biggest energy producer. And by lifting some sanctions on some of his buddies, it's not that we can't find places we can work with Vladimir Putin. We certainly did. But you've got to be clear and you've got to be tough and you have to be cognizant of the risks and the Milan activities engaged. And I fear that be in these next 24 hours in this meeting. I have to tell you, I don't know if I'm sure

you did see what the president of Poland said. But he's like, like nobody in America is consulting with us and Biden is no Reagan and Putin is not Gorbachev and we're going to be the ones that pay the price. You know, it's especially too. And Ronald Reagan, the Soviet Union, and to hear the polls now saying they fear that the United States is not going to be up to the task is really a historical myth and dangerous, not only for the polls in Eastern Europe, but for us as well. So we have so much to cover, and it's a little time.

So let me just go through a couple of things. The ransomware attacks. I've never heard a president say, well, it's a private issue, and the president should just, or I mean, these companies, they have to decide whether they pay the blackmail. Stunning. Can you tell me, go ahead. Yeah, this is an attack on America. And it came through a commercial attack, right? It came through an attack on a commercial enterprise, but, but.

But the capacity for pipelines to move product around our East Coast is an American national security interest to suggest for a moment that we're going to hand this over to some private entity. Oh, goodness, it's about like handing over your social media, these big old nasty social media companies. We have to help these businesses protect their systems. And then it has to be a national effort to impose costs on those who put American lives at risk by denying us to build a product around our world, our country. So is there a strong enough connection between these hackers and Putin that we know Putin at least knows about it and is okaying it with a wink and a nod? Well, I can't tell you about this particular incident and what we know because I was out of government. But I could say this, all the hallmarks of what took place here suggest that is some folks who are operating from Russian soil in a space that is almost certainly underwritten by one of Vladimir Putin's. the oligarch system, and Putin at the very least is turning a blind eye to it and probably more.

And so it's appropriate to hold Vladimir Putin and the Russians accountable for the actions taking place inside of their own country. And we've got to do it. There are tools by which we can. Let me just quickly, it looks like, well, it doesn't look like I might know it just happened. State Department was investigating COVID and the Wuhan lab. and everything else. And Biden just took that and shut that down and moved it over to the CIA. My theory is that that way he doesn't have to release anything because it can, you know, intelligence can be, you know, can be held as top secret.

Was there evidence on this Wuhan lab when you were in office and, and are we ever going to hear what really happened? So, Glenn, I have a unique perspective, having led both the CIA and the State Department consecutively. When I was a secretary of state, when the Wuhan virus was foisted upon the world by the Chinese Communist Party, we began to move heaven and earth to try and figure out what happened. We had the tools to try and figure out if this wasn't a part of a bio-weapons effort on behalf of the CCP. And we learned a lot. And so, Glenn, well, I can't tell your listeners today.

We know the answer with certainty. I am confident that this came from the virology lab. know enough to say that. We also know enough to know they're continuing to cover it up, and so we know plenty to hold them accountable. There's no evidence this administration wants to confront that. Three million people dead around the world, hundreds of thousands in the United States. Family still here in the United States upended by this thing.

Kids are having trouble coming out of these lockdown, crazy lockdowns. The Chinese Communist Party has to be made to pay a price, at the least a price sufficient to make sure they'll do what they can. to make sure something like this never happens again. Talking to Mike Pompeo, you are starting a, what's called Cav-Pack, Cav-Champian American Values and also kind of a tip of the hat to your time in the Army as a Calvary officer. But it's Cav-Pack, and it is looking to get real conservatives and real conservatives and real conservative candidates into the 2022 cycle.

Tell me about it. In 2010, when Barack Obama was taking our country in the wrong direction, I gave up that wonderful life with my family back in Kansas to go run for Congress to throw Nancy Pelosi out. This effort is in those same lines. It's my effort from the place that I find myself today to lead. Well, we've called Cab Back. You're right. What does Cab do?

It rides to the sound of the gun. It alerts. It sounds the sirens. when there's a real risk to something that matters an awful lot. And so we're going to go find conservative candidates. True believers in American workers in our American middle class. We're going to find them. And we're going to help them be successful in getting elected,

not just to take back the House and the Senate, but city council races. We did a state legislative race in New Hampshire last week. We're helping a fellow out. We've got to make sure that we drive this message and help good candidates get elected. And if you go to catfack.com, I think you'll see there's real action and a real heart for delivering good outcomes for our country.

I'll tell you, Mike, I am not only looking for people that understand, you know, the average worker and how business is done, but I'm also looking for somebody who will stand up for the Constitution because that thing is gone. I mean, we are not following it at all, it seems right now. And both parties seem to have, you know, seem to play not an equal. part, but a part in ignoring it when they want to. Glenn, there's no doubt the party that I've been a part of for decades now has its own challenges. We've got to confront them. We've got to take them on. When I was at the State

Department, we engaged in a mission, you know, to your point, the State Department lost its way, talking about human rights. It was talking about things that were crazy. And so we created this commission designed to go back and talk about our founding. What is it that we really believe and why do we believe in how do we put forward these ideas, trying to get my diplomats around the world to understand that we shouldn't apologize for America. It's this exceptional country. So we went back and regrounded the work that we were doing. That's what America needs. It needs a re-grounding in these first principles, the things that you and I learned in schools. We need to go teach them in our schools again. We're not doing that today. If we get that wrong, I joke,

but I'm three-quarters serious. I met with the Taliban. I met with Chairman Kim. The biggest risk today is inside of our schools. If we don't get that right, if we're not brave enough and fearless enough to go stand up and demand that we teach our kids about the greatness of our nation, generation will take us to a path where, you know, as our founders knew, we could lose the Republican. So yesterday, I'm big on the great reset from the World Economic Forum. I mean, almost every politician around the world in the West is using build back better, which is from the World Economic Forum. Economic Forum yesterday. Biden gave a speech, and I'm going to talk about it here in a few minutes, but he gave a

speech, and he said, you know, for us to be able to best China, we all have to work together. Then he went through the stated goals. All of them were right directly from the Great Reset in the World Economic Forum. Do you think that there's an effort underway that these corporations and the government are starting to put a little private-public partnership together? Biden continuously says, you know, it's a test we're going to see in the next couple of years whether whether or not a democracy like ours can survive against these authoritarian states. they can just move quickly. Glenn, it saddens me when I hear that. That's the story, you know, when President Biden talks about going back, we're back.

He means back to Barack Obama. That story that you hear is managing American decline. We can't, this is not America. We're going to witness. We've got to get it right, and we have to be fearless in doing so. When I hear them say that China presents a challenge, you know, a challenge is figuring out whether you want to go to the store at 10 o'clock or 11, But the threat is the Chinese Communist Party. And I saw the statement that came out this week.

You know, it's okay, but it doesn't begin to comprehend the threat that the Chinese Communist Party presents. And you know this. It'll take American leadership to get this right. We're going to have to demonstrate that our businesses are prepared to sacrifice. And our businesses are prepared to be the technology leaders. And we're not going to suffer the Chinese Communist Party censorship and cancellation for our American companies. we're going to manfare free trade. If we get those things right, Glenn, America's going to push back against the threat from Xi Jinping and his commie buddies. We can do it. We've done it

before. And it's just going to take American leadership to get it right. Sadly, we don't have a president that I think is prepared to do that today. Do you stay in touch with President Trump? And if so, how's he doing? I do. He's doing great. He wants to be part of the fight. Same way I'm trying to work every day to be part of the fight. He knows that. He knows that. that the things that we did these past four years made lives for ordinary Americans better. I think he's sadden to see what they've done in these first hundred days, too. We knew when you got President Biden, we knew what we were in for. I don't think any of us believed that the left had captured him so much that they would move this far, this left, this fast.

And so time is nigh. We've got to get after it. We've got to win in 2022 and shoring the runway. All right. So you are looking for people that want to run and need some help and some advice. you're looking for anybody who is running in 2022 at cav pack c a v paccom correct correct only conservatives need apply glenn again mike thank you so much for everything that you have done uh as cia director and and uh secretary of state it was it was it was uh it was amazing to watch you guys it really

was. Thank you. Well, bless you, Glenn. We'll talk again soon. So long, sir. You got it. Bye-bye. Cavpack.com. We all have to consider running, especially at the local level. You've got to

replace your school board. You have to. It has to have just the strongest people you can possibly imagine who know what critical race theory is, who knows what a merit really stands for and do not move run for your school board it is very very easy believe it or not

So all my profits will be going to Mercury 1. find it at park city fine art.com. Okay, let me go real quickly now, my friend, or to the former Biden COVID-19 czar. Oh, I've missed these czars. Here he is on COVID-19. How much of this pandemic was preventable and how? Well, of course, we would have had a pandemic here in the U.S. no matter what. But look, we can count the mistakes.

I think it's important that we do, for nothing else, so we don't repeat them. We obviously had a set of technical mistakes with the testing and the PPE that we know about. But if we're honest, we also had two other types of mistakes that caused a lot of loss of life. One were just plainly political leadership mistakes. There was a lot. We denied the virus for too long out of the Trump White House. There was too much squashing of dissent and playing on divisions. But I'd also think we all need to look at one another and ask ourselves,

what do we need to do better next time? And in many respects, being able to sacrifice a little bit for one another to get through this and to save more lives is going to be essential. And that's something that I think we could all have done a little bit better on. Right. We could have sacrificed a little bit more. You know, the sacrifice of 40% of all businesses now being closed, I mean, permanently out of business, only 40%. But I don't know if that sacrifice was good enough. or the fact that teen suicide now is up at 31%.

I think a few more of us could have sacrificed our children. You know, throw it up on the altar of Anthony Fauci. I think we could have done it, right? Could have done it. Go to hell. Who do you think you are telling us that we should sacrifice more? Oh, my gosh. That is so reminiscent.

And by the way. And by the way. And by the way, it is. Blaming everything on the American people. Everybody on the left, the media and everything. Oh,

you know, Donald Trump was a little slow. Really? Was he? Because when he shut down Europe, when he shut down travel from China, you all belly ached and said, oh my gosh,

what a racist. And you're on TV saying, come on down to Chinatown. Don't start with me. some of us have memories. Now, you know, Lori Lightfoot, who is just delightful.

I would say a fox, but yeah, she's just delightful. And she's, you know, taking some heat because she was she was only meeting with you know, minorities

reporters. She didn't want to meet with any white reporters. Now, yesterday she came out and she said, or the day before yesterday, she came out and said, you know, really, that only lasted two days. So it's really not a problem. Well, it only lasted two days because everybody on the planet hammered you for it. Here she is speaking to John Berman, the Chicago Mary Laurie. By the way, Lori Lightfoot. Is she Gordon Lightfoot's mom?

Yeah. Or grandmother, because Gordon's only 82. I think she might be his grandmother. So, because he's quite a bit younger. I didn't know the connection. Because I've always, you know, I've looked at Lightfoot and I think Native American, but I never thought of Gordon Lightfoot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So does she know about the sinking of the Edmonds Fitzgerald? Well, yeah, because it's a legend that lives on from the Chippewa on down, you know, on the big lake they call Gichigumi. So she knows. Right. She knows. She knows. Okay, here's Gordon Lightfoot's mom, Lori Lightfoot.

I'm the mayor of the third largest city in the country. I'm an African-American town woman to state the obvious. Every day when I look out across my podium, I don't see people who look like me, but more to the point, I don't see people who reflect the richness and diversity of the city. So yes, I started a long overdue conversation about diversity in newsrooms and coverage. You all are the mirrors on society. You reflect with a critical and important lens, the news of the day. You hold public officials like me accountable. Okay. Stop.

Just pause it for a second. Keep that on screen. May I ask, no, no, see if you can keep that on screen. May I ask, Pat, my monitor here at the ranch is very small. Is he Native American or is he Indian or Hispanic? John Berman? The reporter. Yeah.

John Berman? So is he white? Well, yes. I think he's, I think he's actually white. Okay, I don't know because I can't see. He just looks, he just looks from front. I'm looking at a like two by two monitor here. Yeah.

And he looks like an Indian. And I don't mean American Indian. And he looks a little constipated as well. So I think there might be some of that going on too. Well, that's probably his white guilt. if he's a white guy. That explains that. It's not constipation.

It's white guilt. By the way, for those who have been waiting, waiting for the follow-up to white fragility, I mean, some people I know didn't read it, and you have to read it because you won't understand the second one. There is another volume coming out in the series. It's called Nice Racism. And it's Robin DeAngelo's new.

book, I've been waiting. Finally. I mean, I think the whole country, the whole country has been saying, Robin, you can't leave us on that cliffhanger there at the end of white fragility. What happens to the main characters?

So she has nice racism coming out. And she's, this one is written directly to white people. As a white person, she identifies many common white racial patterns.

and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm. And I think that's great. I'm glad somebody's finally willing to say it. She said those patterns include rushing to prove that we're not racist, downplaying white advantage, romanticizing black, indigenous and other peoples of color, happens all the time. I've been romanticizing that all the time.

Me too. Sometimes I pretend to be all three at the same time. Black, indigenous, and other people of color. That is so romantic. Isn't it? That is so romantic. Yeah. Pretending white segregation just happens.

She's on to us. Yep. You know, I have to tell you, in my last HOA meeting, which some say I never attend, but oh, I'm there. Yeah. We were specifically, well, we didn't actually use these words, but we're like, how can we keep this neighborhood segregated? And that's when a lot of the guys who are black that live in my neighborhood were like, excuse me? And I'm like, oh, oh, you're probably not black.

You're probably a sellout to your race. And they were like, oh, yeah, I forgot. then the feeling that we've all had, she explains the feeling, just feeling immobilized by shame. Wow. And I think that's what is happening to my son. I really do. I thought it was just sheer, unadulterated laziness. But I think that it, no, I think he's immobilized by shame.

And she, what's great is she writes candidly about her own missteps and her own struggles. You know, and to, she does it to encourage white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage. Because you're going to need it in that lifelong commitment of accountability. And, oh, I hear the table of contents. What is a nice racist? Second chapter is the one I think I'm buying it for. Why it's okay to generalize about white people. Oh, well.

That one is. Yeah, because they're white, obviously. That's why it's okay. Right. It's a short book. It's a short book. What is a nice racist? One that, you know, doesn't beat you over the head and kill you.

I mean, without a smile on their face. Why is it okay to generalize about white people? Because they're white. there is no choir chapter three i don't think you need more than the headline on that one what's wrong with niceness well a lot a lot honestly a lot yeah people need to be niceness doesn't always get you you know you gotta be you got to sometimes you have to sit a set a city on fire to get people's attention um still some shoes moves the moves of the white progressives I wonder if that chapter, that's Chapter 5 in Robin DiAngelo's new book,

nice racism. The moves of white progressives, I wonder if that includes how all of those white progressives that set up BLM, you know, the global network, how all those white people set that up, and then built everybody who gave to BLM, you know, remember, we told you but of course robin di angelo was saying hey blm donate to blm and who got rich uh the white liberal progressive so well and patrice colors uh obviously the co-founder of blm she made a few bucks on the on the side too which was oh i couldn't disagree with you it didn't really anymore i'm

she yes she's she's an accomplice she's an accomplished artist well and just like uh And a trained Marxist as well. So, you know, she... All intents are good. Yeah, and she knows how to make money as all Marxists do. Yes. You steal it from... You steal it from others.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. That's not what one dad did. His estranged daughter, when his child support ended, he dropped off his final child support payment, dumping 80,000 pennies on his wife's lawn. Oh, so I...

That's not very nice. That's just not very nice. Funny, sure. Hard to do, you bet. Not as hard probably as picking them up out of the grass. And then bringing them to the bank to have them count all of them. But, hey, it's legal tender. It is legal tender.

Actually, you can't do that, can you? Pat? I didn't think you could... I thought the banks could say, no, we're not accepting that. I don't... I'm not sure about the legality of that. I don't know how you turn down legal tender, though. Like you said, it is legal, so why not? And especially since he paid her, not the bank,

here's your money. Although that's vindictive, and I can't encourage that. Yeah, not a good example for his... daughter. Not a good one. Here's some good news for you. CNN's hour-long interview, which clips were played all last week and people were talking about, it was an interview with President Barack Obama, and it was needed at CNN because their ratings are really bad.

And the interview did nothing. for the bad ratings at CNN. Nobody watched. Nobody watched. Half a million people, probably extra, for the Anderson Cooper 360, watch the show.

By the way, that was half of what Tucker Carlson had the same night. So President Obama not really heated very much. you know why? Because most people on the left, and this is an honest observation by somebody who used to work for him, they told me privately that people were not with him. The Marxists were not with him because they felt that he had sold out to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton gang,

which in some ways he did. I mean, not from my perspective, because I don't. Because I I think he did a lot of damage to the country, but not enough for the Marxist. And that's why he couldn't draw a crowd, why nobody had any passion, because he had become a guy that was there to play the corporate game and make lots and lots of money, which he did. Now, Nickelodeon ratings are out. Have you seen what Nickelodeon is doing? Nick Jr. has released videos championing things like trans, queer, and pansexual inclusion. One video that sparked a lot of outrage depicted a cartoon version of a drag queen singing about various LGBTQIA plus two groups, each other so proudly on Blue's Clues and You, a show for two to five-year-olds.

And I think that's, those were the clues that I was hoping Blue would find. I don't know about you, Pat, but. Absolutely. I want, don't you, doesn't everybody want their two to five-year-old in touch with their sexuality and everybody else's? Yes. Yes. Thank you.

Finally has, has, somebody has the guts to say it. Now, the viewership has dropped from one point. million average viewers per week to 3702,000. Wow. Oh, that's great. I mean, that is. That's great. Oh, isn't it?

Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, looks like Paramount and, uh, and Nickelodeon are in some gosh, darn it financial trouble. Did you see John Stewart, uh, on, uh, what's his name? They really obnoxious.

She's not funny guy. Stephen Colbert. Thank you for knowing that. Did you see him when he came out? I mean, I shouldn't have left it at that. Oh, he came out. Hmm. No.

I just talking about the, he was talking about the vaccine, right? Or the, actually where the virus came from. Is that what you're talking about? So this was the, yeah, this was the return of the Colbert show to the Sullivan Theater because, you know, the vaccine is out. and he walks on stage and he gets, you know, a standing ovation. And then he grinned widely as he embraced his bandleader, John Batiste, which I have all of his album. And he said, we never really left, but we certainly weren't here.

And it's like the first day back at school. I'm really happy because we've all been vaccinated. I know I'm not going to get COVID. And a lot of people didn't take good care of themselves during the pandemic, but I want you to meet a good friend, John Stewart, everybody. And John Stewart walked out and listened to this. I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic.

which was more than likely caused by science. I would do that to you. I'm often... What do you mean by that? Do you mean like, there's a chance that this was created in a lab as an investigation? A chance. Well, I...

Oh my God. There's evidence I'd love to hear. I don't know. There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan China. What do we do? Oh, you know who we could ask? The Wuhan novel respiratory...

respiratory coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That's just a little too weird. Don't you think? And then they ask the scientists, they're like, how did this, so wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab. How did this happen? And they're like, a penguin kissed a turtle. And you're like, no, I, you know, the name of your lap, and you look at the in Wuhan. Oh, because there's a coronavirus losing Wuhan. How did that happen? Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a cut squeezed into my chili, and now we all have corona. Like, come. Okay, okay. Wait a second. Wait a second.

Wait a second. Wait a second. Oh my break of chocolatey goodness near Hershey Pennsylvania. What do you think happened? Like, oh, I don't know. Maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean. Or it's the f***. That's funnier than John Stewart's been in 30 years.

That's, I know, and it's brilliant, and it's the truth. And notice the audience is all for it, and Colbert is not. Colbert is like, well, you know, if there's actual evidence, I'd like to hear it. No, you know, Stephen, that's the funny thing about being a comedian. You sometimes play on the obvious to make people laugh. Now, I know you haven't, well, you've tried a long time, but you haven't made that happen, I think, ever. Except when you were with John Stewart, isn't that weird? But John Stewart is not only making people laugh about it, he's stating the obvious, and the audience is with him.

It's with him. Every time Colbert tries to stop him, the audience, he's like, no, no, no, and the audience cheers. I think that was amazing. Now let me give you Chuck Schumer because he is so woke, so woke. And I want to give you a clip of what he was talking about when he was doing an interview. He was wanting to build some extra housing for those in need. And here's what he said. And this initiative actually will house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets.

We see them every day. Yes. We're about to house them. And they're against it. It's unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, I have found that my whole career. They wanted to build a show.

And when I first was assemblymen, they wanted to build a congregate living place for retarded children. No, neighborhood was against it. These are harmless kids. They just needed some help. Yeah. The retarded.

They're just so sweet. All those. retards. Thank you very much, Chuck Schumer. What a ridiculous. And, you know, they won't say anything about that. They won't say a word about that. But I'll bet you that what I just said will be taken out of context. And they're glad back, said the R word. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. No, no, no.
