For six hours yesterday, a politically correct cover up took place following the despicable mass shooting in San Bernardino.
For the first hour, we were told the masked gunmen --- two or three of them --- were white, dressed in military fatigues. The media didn't know the exact number of assailants, but they knew, even with masks on, they were white.
One source tried to tie the location of the shooting to Planned Parenthood, but when that didn't pan out, it was good enough to report the location of the nearest Planned Parenthood -- only a mile and a half away from the actual crime scene, the Inland Regional Center, which serves developmentally disabled individuals.
Once the name of the primary shooter --- Syed Rizwan Farook --- was released, CNN didn't use it for two hours.
The truth, revealed in off-the-record police statements, presents a much different story. The shooting was identified as Islamic terrorism within the first hour, and the FBI was involved almost from the beginning.
"They were telling us after they had the name and address of Syed Farook, they didn't think this was Islamic," Glenn said during The Glenn Beck Program Thursday morning. "They weren't sure this was terror. The state and the media has bent over backwards to protect, not the Muslim, but the Islamist."
Why?
Radical, murderous Islamists have clearly stated their goals. Yet, the media and the Obama administration willfully ignored this yesterday and continue to ignore the existential threat to America and the world.
Glenn had a direct message for the president:
Mr. President, I say this with as much respect as you deserve: screw global warming. What the hell is wrong with you?
If you actually believe that global warming is the biggest problem we face with terror all around the world, an 18 trillion-dollar debt, nine of which is yours, no real allies left that trust us, riots in our streets, riots in our university campuses, race relations worse than I've seen since the 1960s, and a distrust of our fellow Americans, unlike anything I've ever seen, you, sir, are either delusional, or you're the dumbest son of the bitch on the planet.
Which is it? Because It IS about Islam. So was Boston. So was Benghazi. So was Fort Hood. So was a half dozen others that you failed to address. And, quite frankly, sir, so was Ahmed, the clock kid. It was a timer, not a clock.
Glenn went on to share what rhetoric will likely come from the White House today: lectures about gun control, workplace violence and not jumping to conclusions. When, if fact, the president should be naming and going after the real bad guys --- Islamists.
News flash, Mr. President --- we are not the bad guys.
Who are we? Glenn wrapped up his morning monologue with his own lecture for the president.
We are the people you fly over in your carbon-spewing private jets while regulating us, our businesses and our SUVs because of that invisible gas that we were all taught in grade school makes the trees grow.
We are the people you look at with disgust and judgment, while you lecture us on how we need to be tolerant and not judge people. We are the people you bend over backwards to tell there is no mosque teaching radical viewpoints, while you use Common Core to probe our children about what is being taught in our homes on Christianity and race.
Most importantly, we are the people standing with and praying for the people San Bernardino today.

What happened in #SanBernardino is beyond un American and inexcusable! I don't mean the shooting. I mean the PC...
