The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program | Guest: Salena Zito | 10/6/20
Episode Date: October 6, 2020President Trump is knocking down the media’s house of fear. The media went nuts when Trump took off his mask on the White House balcony and told Americans not to let the coronavirus dominate their l...ives. But Glenn shows that Trump is not the first leader to echo the words of FDR: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Washington Examiner reporter Salena Zito discusses if Joe Biden really is dominating in the polls. Secret Trump voters do exist, and people are switching to Trump after not voting for him in 2016. Americans don’t fear things that seem impossible to overcome. Learn more about your ad choices.

She knows.
How?
Did you blouse?
No.
The Devil Wears Prada 2.
He's the movie event 20 years in the making.
Honestly, can't with the secrets anymore, so I think we just, we should tell her.
Will you two please spit it out already?
This Friday, be the first to experience it only in theaters.
In light of the recent scandal, I'm here to restore your credibility.
Oh, because we're a team now.
That's a nice story.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Theaters Friday.
Hey, welcome to Tuesday's podcast, a really great podcast for you, especially if you just, you can laugh at the media at this point.
They are so crazed about Donald Trump having a positive attitude.
I put it into perspective almost immediately.
Also, Selena Zito comes on and she's talking to us about the voting tendencies that she's starting to see that if you're, if you're, if you're,
If you're actually listening to people, what's happening, and some prophetic news from Israel that we talk about the possibility now of the Abraham Accords, opening up the temple mount for not only all Muslims to worship on the temple mount, but now possibly even the Jews to be able to worship on the temple mount, but now possibly even the Jews to be able to worship
on the Temple Mount, staggering thousands of years ago foretold kind of news on today's podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beckford.
The president took his mask off.
Oh.
Yeah.
After going, this is a quote.
After going to a federal office building.
Otherwise known as the White House for the first time I've heard it called a federal office building.
There are hundreds of federal workers in that office building, and he went in and took off his mask.
Yeah, he was up on the balcony of the private residence.
He was about 400 feet away from another living soul outside, and he took his mask off.
But you have to hear the commentary on CNN.
Listen.
I'm just telling everyone knows, Sanjay, this is a few moments ago.
The other side of the helicopter, everyone you saw it land, the cameras were on the other side.
This is him getting off as he walks up those stairs.
So Sanjay, keep going.
This is where he has the mask on, right,
as he goes to the, passes the press,
doesn't take questions and is going to head up those stairs.
Coming from the hospital, not to go.
Right.
So he heads up the stairs,
and then when he gets to the top of the stairs
is when he takes his mask off.
And, you know, if he's going to go inside the residence,
maybe that's where he's going to isolate.
I don't know.
But at that point, Caitlin was raising this issue.
At that point, if anybody comes in contact,
with him. Yeah, definitely. I mean, if he was in the hospital still, whenever the doctors went
to go see him, they'd be a personal protective equipment. So there's no one on the stairs.
There's a very different picture. No one on the balcony.
The president like this. Doctors look at this and they say, well, what's going on inside of him?
What's the illness all about? That's what they look at and they say that. You know he has an infection
with this coronavirus. What's going on?
That infection, that that coronavirus can be very contagious. Very contagious. It can be.
It can be. It can be. It can be. Now he's up on the balcony.
Still has the mask on.
Here's going to come.
Oh, no.
Takes it off.
An incorrect message.
Wow.
And you see him here.
Takes it off and he's getting ready for his pictures.
The flags blank him.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Right, Caitlin, this is what you did.
This is the moment.
This is what he produced it for.
Why did they let him out without sewing that mask to his face?
I'm strong.
I think that should be a federal mandate of sewing masks to people's faces.
I say we closed down Walter Reed Hospital.
You know, I didn't sew his mask to his face.
Let me tell you something.
Right.
Close it down.
You are exactly right.
It.
Down.
Not because they were killing our veterans during the Obama administration.
No.
No.
No.
But because they healed the president.
That's why I was all for keeping Parkland Hospital open after the president
died in Parkland Hospital.
Right.
You know, I was like, hey, more federal funds.
to that hospital, but
this one, this one
cured the president.
Yeah. And my gosh,
how irresponsible of them.
Unbelievable.
Do we happen to have, let me, you know what,
let me just, let me give the
commentary, do we have
a longer version of this? Let me, let me
just take the commentary short, please.
It's going to come. Here we go.
A very different
takes it off. An incorrect
message. And you see him here.
He takes it off and he's getting ready for his pictures.
The flags flank him.
Right, Caitlin, this is what he did.
This is the moment.
This is what he produced it for.
He wants the image to be.
I'm strong.
This virus is nothing.
His tweet today, feeling better than I did 20 years ago.
Don't be afraid of COVID.
Don't let it dominate your life.
Oh my gosh.
Don't let it dominate your life.
This is the image he wants.
Don't let it dominate your life.
Now, Trump actually stepped to a microphone.
phone. Here's what he said. Don't be afraid of COVID. Listen.
One thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you.
Don't. Don't be afraid of it. No, no. You're going to beat it. We have the best medical equipment.
We have the best medicines. Fear. All developed recently.
No, no, no, fear, fear, fear, fear. And you're going to beat it. I went, I didn't feel so good.
He didn't beat it. And two days ago, I could have left two days ago. Two days ago, I felt great,
like better than I have in a long time. I said just recently. You won't. You won't. Better than 20 years
ago. You're going to be sick for the rest of your life. Don't let it dominate. Don't let it take over your lives.
No. Don't let that happen. Panic. We're the greatest country in the world. No, we're not.
We're going back. We're going back to work. We're going to be able to not.
Don't open to your business. I had to do that. No. There's danger to it, but I had to do it.
Oh my gosh. I stood out front. Oh, I led. Holy cow. Nobody that's a leader would not do
what I did. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let me tell you that right now. I think you know what I'm saying.
That's what he wants the image to be.
That's what he wants the image to be.
You know what?
I have to tell you something.
Here he is saying, don't fear it.
Don't fear it.
I mean, what kind of president says that?
Cut one.
Values of front to fantastic levels.
Taxes have risen.
Our ability to pay has fallen.
Government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income.
Thank you for bringing us down.
Look how bad things are.
The withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side.
Oh, finally a president.
No markets for any product.
And the savings that many years and thousands of families are gone.
Thank you.
This great nation will endure as it has endured.
Wait a minute, what?
Will revive and will prosper.
No, we won't.
First of all, let me assert my firm belief.
that the only thing we have to fear is
fear itself.
No, don't listen to that.
It's withered leaves.
No, no, stop.
Don't, no.
No.
No.
We're into a ban.
No, stop it.
Stop it.
We're in a depression.
It's not going to get better.
You've lost your income.
You've lost your family savings.
Fear.
Fear.
Make sure you fear.
We're not going to conquer this.
And it's that kind of leadership that got us through World War I or World War II,
where we just spoke of the withered leaves on the trees and the destruction to all of our institutions.
Do you remember when the World Trade Center came down?
Right?
Mm-hmm.
Fear, fear, fear, fear.
What you all to know is on bend in need.
Who? No, we were.
For the people who's lives were lost here.
No.
For the workers who work here.
Mm-mm.
For the families who mourn.
This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut.
There were no good people there.
As we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.
And we're going to dwell on that.
We've got to dwell on that.
I can hear you.
No, they won't. No, they won't.
We can't defeat it.
We don't even know who they are.
And they're probably surrounding us.
It's a really bad thing.
Really bad.
Well, almost as bad as when our space shuttle blew up.
The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us for the manner in which they live their lives.
We will never forget them nor the last time we saw them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye.
and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.
I know it's hard to understand, but it's painful things like this happen.
No.
It's all part of the process and exploration and discovery.
No, we have to stop.
It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizon.
Don't take a chance.
Stay home.
The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted.
Yes, it does.
It belongs to the brave.
We'll protect you.
The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future.
No, they weren't.
And we'll continue.
They were all blown up.
No, they won't.
We won't follow them.
We can't follow them.
This is too great for us to be able to overcome.
Please don't listen to these words.
I mean, do you remember what happened when the English sent all of their boats, their entire Navy, over to France?
They were wiped out.
They were wiped out.
They couldn't send anybody over there.
They didn't have any more ships.
And if they sent them over there, they were going to be bombed by the Germans.
They were over.
Don't you remember Churchill?
We shall fight in France.
We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
We shall defend our island.
Whatever the cross may be.
No.
We shall fight on the beaches.
We shall fight on the landing grounds.
We shall fight in the fields.
And in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills.
We shall never surrender.
And if, which I do not for a moment believe,
this island or a large part of it,
were subjugated and starving,
then our empire beyond the seas,
armed and guarded.
by the British fleet would carry on the struggle until in God's good time.
The new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and a liberation
of the old.
Well, it is a good thing that the new world, because we were suffering from a depression.
We had withered leaves.
Our industry was over.
There was no way to make it.
How are we possibly going to step up and defend the free world?
It can't be done.
I want you to know Donald Trump is wrong.
How dare him say that we are going to conquer this?
Oh my gosh.
How dare him say don't fear this virus.
You need to panic.
Let me tell you something, America.
our choice has never been more clear.
It is not a battle between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
It's not a battle between left and right.
It is a battle between light and dark, hope and fear, life and death.
They actually say the GOP is a death cult because of the virus and what Donald Trump is
doing, taking his mask off.
It's a death cult.
Really?
You're okay with killing a child after they're born.
Letting them just shiver.
Let them just starve to death.
Let them gasp their last breath all alone.
And we're the death cult?
No, I'll tell you what we are.
we're Americans, and far too many Americans have forgotten what it means to be an American.
What it means to be an American, as opposed to a European or anything else,
Americans go into the wilderness, Americans go to the great unknown.
Americans cross the mountains when they only have a hand cart.
They bury their children in the middle of nowhere, in the snowy ground,
and they dig those graves with their hands until they're bloody.
They bury them and they move over the mountains.
Why? Because we don't give up.
And you know what?
It's sad that that's an American idea.
It's really truly sad that we're the only people that actually believe in those things,
that we as individuals can stand up and conquer it.
It's sad because that's life itself.
Why will this COVID virus be with us forever?
Because it's life.
And life has a way of finding its way to live and to expand.
And they are telling you right now, don't expand.
Fear.
Let us expand.
Let us expand our power and our power.
domination and our lies and our deceitfulness and our death cult.
You, you're nothing, you can't do it.
Let me tell you and echo the words of the past,
we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
And I am not afraid.
I know what the future holds.
I know the proving grounds that are in front of us.
But I know who I serve and I know how it ends.
And I know America.
I know the promises that our founders made and we are to keep.
I know the power of the individual.
You have the ultimate power of the universe within you.
Accept it.
Square your shoulders and stop being told that you.
can't grieve with your family together because of some invisible virus. Yeah, we need to take
precautions. Yes, we should wear masks when we're in groups. Yes, we shouldn't go into the thousands
to protest and then riot. But I am not going to cower. And I am not going to listen to a group
of people that tell me that our president saying,
don't fear this, we'll beat this is somehow or another wrong.
I don't want to follow anyone who doesn't believe in a brighter future.
Because that is what America promises that tomorrow,
if we each do what we're supposed to do,
not what we're told to do,
will build a much brighter future for all mankind.
If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening.

this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on iTunes so selina
tell me what you're learning because i i see these polls like everybody else and i just don't
believe them i i mean maybe i'm reading america wrong but i just can't believe that it's it's
this close what are you hearing and feeling
sense of the polling is this.
The one that made the most news, just in the past 24 hours, is the national poll by NBC of registered voters.
Well, both of those things need to be taken into account for understanding, well, what are we looking at?
And we don't vote.
Our elections aren't decided nationally.
They're decided electoral, electorally.
So a national poll really doesn't mean much because you don't know where those voters are coming from.
They could, you know, there could be a concentration of people from Chicago, New York, and California,
and that would throw the entire thing off.
It could even be as granular as cities and not enough moral voters.
So that's why the national poll, you know, I'm skeptical of those.
It's also of registered voters.
that you need to really get down to someone who has voted in the last four elections to turn out.
Right.
And even that's a problem, Glenn, because those, there were a lot of voters missed in 2016,
because in our book, The Great Revolt, there were these voters we call the paralistas.
They're sort of like, we named them after Ross Crowe because they only, they're like Haley's comment.
They only come out every 100 years, right?
Right.
And those people aren't picked up by pollsters because if a pollster is trying to do a really good poll and find a likely voter and they get them on the phone and say, hey, if you voted in the last two elections, they're like, no.
And they made up a coalition in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
So there is, you know, I'm always sort of leery of them not being part of the universe.
And 5% of Trump voters are shy Trump voters.
In other words, they don't tell a pollster that they're supporting him.
I'm surprised it's that, I am surprised it's that low.
Well, that's nationally.
In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, in our book, there's a poll in the back, a survey of just
Trump voters. Four percent of them
did not tell a family member, a print,
or a pollster that they were going to vote
for him. Holy cow.
And that was 2016. We're like a Disney movie compared to today.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So when you're going through
Pennsylvania and you're hearing
and Ohio and
Wisconsin and Michigan and you're
listening to people, are you hearing
people that say, I didn't vote?
vote for him before, but I am now.
Absolutely.
I had a piece out of Cambria County a couple weeks ago.
You guys can check out all my work at selenazito.com.
But I had a piece from Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
Cambridges, if you think of coal miners and steel mills, this was, this is that county.
This is the county that Jack Mertha was from, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
And there were a line of people, a line of people.
a line of people there to change their voter registration from Democrat to Republican.
And I interviewed several people there in the story who did not vote for Donald Trump in
2016, who are going to vote for him now.
And these voters are largely undetected.
What we don't know, Glenn, is how much they make up of election day voting.
What I want to really stress, though, is culture.
always gives us hints
of where the election
is going. We often
ignore them. So Pennsylvania
specifically,
246,000
new gun owners since March.
40% of them are women.
The
178,000
new registered
Republican voters in the state.
So there are
hints. And look culturally
as well. Look at things like
the NFL and look
I mean I think that when the Steelers
played the Monday night game
the viewership
was down 19 percentage point.
Tell me about what is
happening in not only Pennsylvania
but do you have any look at
the kind of confusion
that we are expecting
on the new rules
that Democrats have put
forth on voting.
Obviously I live in Pennsylvania
We never had mail-in voting before in the state until June's primary.
We had absentee balloting, but it was like so restrictive and punishing to do it
that only 4% of people did it on an average basis.
Now in our primary in June, it was almost 50% of the people.
And while the process of doing it was not that bad in terms of getting your ballot and mailing it in,
the problem became once the different county offices had your ballot.
They were completely unprepared.
I don't know why.
Before, you know, our primary was delayed several months.
So the preparation should have been there.
Nonetheless, with the exception of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, almost every county went days, if not weeks, before the final results came in.
And, you know, that's Pennsylvania could be the decider.
I think it's between Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, to be honest.
And so across December, before we know, that's a problem.
People have a level of expectation that they do their job and, and, and,
those are all the hoops and loops to vote, why can't the government fulfill that same obligation?
I will tell you, Selena, I have to tell you, I think what the Democrats have done and what the media is currently doing,
saying that not only is expecting a result on election night wrong, but it is dangerous.
And then trying to tell us that this is a tried and true tradition of America, they're not
going to understand it.
This is, everyone knows this is the most critical election in our lifetime.
Whether you're voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden, that's the way you feel.
And for the, the election process to be changed, if there is a hint of fraud, and there
already is, I mean, they stole all of the thumb drives, somebody broke in all of the thumb drives
from the machines in Philadelphia, just gone.
I mean, you're not going to have a patient society.
No, you're not.
And I think the thing that, well, first of all, I think my profession is going way over top and scaring people to pieces.
Second of all, that's not our job.
Our job is to dispassionately report the news.
and the other problem we have, Glenn, is everyone tends to think or write that, you know, only conservatives or only Republicans don't trust large institutions such as governments and counties to count votes.
Well, I've got news to them.
There are plenty of voters out there that are going to pull the lever for Joe Biden that have an equal amount of distrust.
Yes.
And they're sort of only blaming one side.
But inside is going to be upset if this process isn't going to be done.
It's going to be uniformly or people are just going to be uniformly aggravated, frustrated, disappointed, and angry that they couldn't do their job when voters say, look.
Or I showed up in person.
I waited in line.
I did everything that was supposed to do.
Why can't you do?
Selina, let me ask you two questions and they're related.
The media has really become unbelievable.
I mean, what they say about Trump and getting better now and saying, hey, have no fear of COVID.
You'll beat this.
We can beat this is insanity.
That's like saying that, you know, FDR shouldn't have said we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
and it's it's become so just so blatantly clear that they are just an anti-Trump machine.
Have they and the Democrats overplayed this hand,
assuming that everybody's going to be fine with BLM and Marxism and the riots in the streets
and the hatred of Donald Trump?
They really underestimate the average voter, even if they're voting for Biden.
People that are normal, right, that politics isn't their obsession, they're savvy enough,
they're smart enough, whether they went to college or not, to see the inference.
In fact, with Garcraf inference to just like heavy-handed attacks on the president when they are
warranted. You know, at 2016, I said to then candidate Donald Trump, voters take you seriously,
but they don't take everything you say literally, where my profession takes everything you say
literally and doesn't take you all that seriously. I don't think much has changed from that.
If you are standing in Western Pennsylvania and you were listening to that speech that the president
gave yesterday, whether you liked it or not, whether you like him or not,
It was.
The way that make America great was an aspirational slogan, but nationalistic.
When it was more about aspiration, but it was also about localism, something they praise
if you buy something at Whole Foods, but if you hold localism as something as part of your ideal,
all of a sudden you're a nationalist if you come from certain parts of the country.
The last thing I wanted to ask you about is I put out a tweet yesterday.
Let me see if I can pull it up here real quick.
I said, as someone who didn't vote for the real Donald Trump in 2016 but will in 2020,
is there anyone like me?
I can't be alone.
I couldn't vote for either last time.
I just didn't trust that he would do what he promised.
I have found that he may be the first politician my lifetime that did keep his word.
What was it for you?
104,000 likes and 25,000 retweets and thousands of responses in like 16 hours.
And people are saying, a lot of people are saying, I didn't vote for.
for him. I couldn't vote for him.
And now are. Is
this an echo chamber, or do you
think that is real?
I think that the Twitter
tends to be
an echo chamber, but not
when it comes to conservatives.
When I watch
Twitter interactions between
journalists and
how that drives the news,
I'm very skeptical of that
reflecting the real world.
But having experienced
in every state that I cover, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan, that same switch
that you talked about, it is a very real phenomenon. And people, I think, are less likely
to come out and tell someone they're doing that depending on their geographical area. In particular,
if you're in an upper middle class or to wealthy neighborhood, because you want to still be
invited to the block party, right?
And our people, two people on my staff said, I'm going to do the point to where, I'm just, I'm just like, like that child who's just whining and crying.
And at some point you're just like, fine.
And they said, I find myself just throwing my hands up and going, fine, whatever, I just want this to stop.
Oh, yeah, there's absolutely a lot of that.
And I think that people have tuned out a lot to national news because of that.
But, you know, here's a breaking news, exclusive right here.
This bender that the country's on isn't going to end if Joe Biden wins.
If Joe Biden, the worst case scenario for conservatives isn't that bad of a scenario at all.
if Joe Biden would happen to squeak out a win.
The Republicans will more than likely hold on to the Senate,
and I bet they win at least eight to ten house seats.
Biden won, but he has literally no power because Mitch McConnell has the Senate,
and Nancy Pelosi will not have enough of a majority in the House to changes.
is. Well, that would be a good thing if that was our worst case scenario. But I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatched on this election. Thank you so much, Selena. I appreciate it. You can find her. It's selinaZito.com. That's
selinazito.com. She is published everywhere, and she gets it. She listens to people.
Now more people died of the flu, but it's still disrespectful.
Every time I go into a CVS and they have a, they have the gall just to put a sign up that says,
get your flu shot.
They're not recognizing all the people that the flu has killed.
It's so disrespectful.
People are mourning the loss of their loved ones every year with the flu.
Every time I pass a car dealership and they are not standing and mourning and reminding you how many people are killed in car crashes every day.
I think to myself, GM, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Ford Motor Company.
It might as well be Ford killing machines.
It's so disrespectful.
And outrageous.
It is outrageous.
Thank you, Pat.
You're welcome.
Outrageous, disrespectful, disrespectful and outrageous.
Has to be said.
Thank you for saying it.
Well, somebody has to.
I mean, sure.
It seems everyone in the media is saying it, but that's just, I mean, think of the size of the media compared to the rest of America.
Tiny.
Out of the 350 million Americans, it's really only the media that's saying that.
So thank goodness someone is saying it.
You know, the other thing they had a problem with was that he was asking you not to be afraid.
He was, well, I don't even want to repeat it.
It was so outrageous and disrespectful that I don't even want to say it myself.
Here's what he said.
Listen.
One thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you.
Don't be afraid of it.
Oh, how dare you.
You're going to beat it.
We have the best medical equipment.
We have the best medicines.
All developed recently.
And you're going to beat it.
I went, I didn't feel so good.
And two days ago, I could have left two days ago.
Two days ago I felt great.
Like, better than I have in a long time.
I said just recently, better than 20 years ago, don't let it dominate.
Don't let it take over your lives.
No.
Don't let that happen.
No.
The greatest country in the world.
Oh, stop it.
I can't hear about it.
the greatest country in the world.
I can't.
Stop it.
Stop it.
The, oh, my gosh.
The implied xenophobia with just that one line is enough to be shocking and horrifying and disrespectful to all.
Please be afraid of this.
Please.
0.67 of us will die.
If you get it, 0.67 of us will die.
That's not a small.
Well, it is a...
It's 6.67% will die.
It's outrageous.
And disrespectful.
Yes.
I want you to know.
I want you to know that we won't make it.
I want you to know that you should be afraid.
You should cower and fear.
Thank you, Wolf.
You should hide in your closet.
it. In fact, if you're suicidal and you're thinking about it, well, you might want to think a little
harder because COVID is going to get you in the end. I mean, do you want to go that way?
Horrible, excruciating death for 0.67 of us. I want you to know we're never going to get
past it. We don't have good medical treatment. He's faking it. I think he's an audio animatronic. He died.
He had to have died. He's 75. He eats McDonald's. He's out of shape. I mean, he has to be dead. I think he's a robot.
And what is that robot doing? Telling you that you should be positive.
Well, let me just show you what FDR said in his first inaugural address when America was facing a depression.
Listen.
Values of front to fantastic levels.
Taxes have risen.
Our ability to pay has fallen.
Government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income.
The means of exchange are frozen in the current of trade.
The withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side.
Oh, my gosh.
Farmers find no market for their produce.
Farmers say.
And the savings of many years in thousands of families.
Okay, now listen to this. Listen to that. Do you hear what he just said? Withered leaves of the industry. Farmers have no market for their goods. Banks are closed. People have lost their houses. That's the kind of leadership that we need today. And it was it was so disrespectful, so disrespectful for the pain of those farmers. He ignored the pain.
of those who have lost their house
when he went on to say
Find no market for their produce
and the savings of many years
and thousands of families are gone
Yes
This great nation will endure
As it has endured
Oh my gosh
Will revive and will prosper
So outrageous and disrespectful
Let me assert my firm belief
That the only thing we have
have to fear is fear itself.
Oh my gosh, outrageous and disrespectful.
Unconscionable that he would say something like that.
Concentrate on the withered leaves, America.
Concentrate on that.
Because when you do, you stop becoming an American.
You stop growing as a person.
You cower in fear and you do nothing.
You look for a boot to lick.
And that's who we are as Americans, isn't it?
I mean, aren't we the boot lickers?
When Winston Churchill lost almost every single ship and naval officer on the beaches of France before America was in, before the war, Germany had them pinned on the beach.
And he got on the radio and he said, we're done. We're done. We can't send any of our ships. And I know you have the ability to, you know, you have ships. But we can't ask you to do that because it might be dangerous for you. So while we could ask you, because it's your country, it's your freedom, it's your life. It's your sons and daughters who are trapped on the beach. No, we don't want you to get in.
into your private boats and go pick those guys up because it's too dangerous.
And so they all died.
And then he had the gall to get on and say these words.
We shall fight in France.
We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cross may be.
We shall fight on the beaches.
We shall fight on the landing grounds.
We shall fight in the fields.
And in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills.
We shall never surrender.
And if, which I do not for a moment believe,
this island or large part of it were subjugated and starving,
then our empire beyond the seas.
armed and guarded by the British fleet would carry on the struggle until in God's good time.
The new world with all its power and might steps forth to the rescue and a liberation of the old.
That is who we are.
We are the new world that steps forward and protects the old.
We don't cower in fear.
We do these things not because they're easy, but because they're hard.
We are the people that put footprints on the moon when no one, no one in that generation
had ever dreamt of that growing up.
No one thought even a rocket was possible, let alone a moon walk.
We are the people that were told eight, four years ago, four years ago, four,
years ago, that this is the best the economy will ever get. You can't get any more juice or any more
blood out of this stone. We can't go any further. This is the best our economy will be. This is the
best we can do with unemployment. And Donald Trump is lying to you. And look what happened.
we had the lowest unemployment in 50 years,
the strongest economy in the history of America.
Now, why didn't that happen before?
Because they put a cap on themselves and on you.
Stop believing in them.
Start believing in you.
That is the difference of America.
We see things.
And we do them.
We don't do them because we're told to.
In fact, when we're told to, Americans rebuff that.
Don't tell me what to do.
And that spirit, as they have tried to break that spirit in you, for, wow, 12 solid years.
They have tried to break your spirit.
12 years.
Forget who you are.
Give up.
don't think for yourself you'll never beat the system you don't matter your voice doesn't
matter you're a bad person you're a racist i'm telling you we will fight them on the beaches we
will fight them in the fields we will fight them in the cities we will fight because americans
don't believe that and i am sorry but it is it is fused
in my DNA.
While my family came here from overseas,
my family came here
before the Civil War.
And my family stood up
to fight against slavery
because they believed in the words
of the Declaration of Independence
and I take my strength
from the blood they shed
and the courage
and the steel in their spine.
Don't you listen to anybody.
Don't you listen to anybody who tells you be afraid.
Have no fear.
The only king you serve is God.
And he never pushes fear.
No, no, no.
