The Right WON’T WIN Unless it Does THIS

Recently, “America’s Cultural Revolution” author Christopher Rufo warned that “the Right faces an inflection point.” Instead of focusing on actually changing policies and culture, he argued, some on the Right have leaned into “conspiracy theories that lead nowhere.” Some of these, especially related to Israel, have caused massive debates. But how should we approach this divide? And what’s causing it? Christopher and Glenn make the case that the answer is self-discipline, NOT censorship, and providing better content than just “cheap attention” tweets. In order to win against the progressive elites, conservatives must get their own house in order first.

GLENN: Last week, I saw Christopher Rufo, who I greatly admire.

Write and talk about something we don't need to talk about. But in that, he said, the right faces an reflection point. There are serious people, who are trying to advance a serious political movement, with a vision for governing.

There are also unserious people, who are willing to sell conspiracy. Leading us nowhere.

I care about politics, because I believe we have substantive work to do for the country. This requires putting together a coalition that is capable of taking responsibility. The choice is ours.

I responded to that. And people -- and I'm hoping Christopher didn't. But people thought that I was coming after Christopher and I, but I wasn't.

I was really frustrated with, he's right. But what does a serious option look like?

I said, I have great respect for Christopher Rufo. He has done more to expose the rot than many of us combined. But, Chris, the only option that I see that is viable is a return to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. All of our problems stem from the violation of these documents. Congress doesn't care.

Nor does it even attempt to do its job. Every administration is worse than the last. At this point, it is all powerful.

Supreme Court has trouble defining a woman. May God help us, with them defining any of the Amendments. Our Justice Department, Intel, and every agency has been co-opted by radicals. Those who believe in a constitutional republic are not the radicals. There is another option.

Return to e pluribus unum. The Bill of Rights and Constitution.

So I wanted to get Christopher on. Because I heard from so many people, that we were warring. And, Christopher, I'm sorry, if I've let anybody, to think I would stand against you.

Because I have some admiration for you.

CHRIS: Of course not. I didn't take any offense to it.

I found we were actually in agreement. I'm glad we have a chance to talk in greater depth.

I think you translation canned the problem there perfectly. But the question I'm raising is, how do we get there?

What kind of coalition do we need?

What kind of intellectual leadership, do we need? And then what kind of political leadership do we need?

And what I noticed on the right, especially on the horrific I can attacks against Jews in Israel, is that there's been a fragmentation.

And there's people chasing conspiracy theories. There's a rise. Kind of resurge answer, on the outer fringes of anti-Semitism on the right.

And then there are people elevating their profiles in media. On conspiracy theories, that lead nowhere, on kind of tabloid-style dossett that doesn't offer any kind of concrete possibility.

And so I think we have a media problem. And we have, in addition, a leadership problem.

GLENN: When you say a media problem, you mean the right media?

CHRIS: Yes. Yes. Absolutely. I just -- I think if you look at kind of serious conservative media figures. And, of course, I would include you in this. You're always doing the reporting, the conversations, trying to guide people, towards something, that that they can do. Some legislation that politicians can pass. Some policy that we can adopt. Some counterculture that we can build. But I think given the dynamics of online media advertising, audience building, and then just the dynamics of kind of general tech and media trends.

Some people are being, you know, kind of generously rewarded with clicks and attention. Who don't actually offer anything substantive. And I think it gets some of our audience. And some of our listeners. In this outrage cycle.

Where they're outraged for outrage sake.

They're not being directed for guiding that outrage towards something constructive. And I've seen it. It can be really be damaging to people. And it's certainly damaging to a political movement.

And I don't think it's a failure of the audience. I think it's actually a failure of us, in the media, in positions of authority, in positions of leadership. You always have to guide people towards something that can make their lives better, and if we're not doing that, we're taking advantage, and we have to stop.

GLENN: So I completely agree with you.

So what is -- because we agree with the solution. And this is my point, back to you, was, I am very afraid of serious options. Because there is another split in the right. That is -- is willing to look at -- at extra constitutional solutions. And that's really dangerous. And starting to say, well, this Constitution, maybe it's old and dusty. Like the left has been saying.

No, no, no, no. No. All of our problems are solved, by two things.

One, the people living a better life. And I don't mean like, you're making more money. I mean, you're more decent, humble, and just better person. Plus, the rule of law. Being restored, as written.

So where do you see anybody coming up and really promoting that, Chris?

CHRIS: Well, I think that's exactly what we need to do. And I've been very vocal. There's a lot of frustration on the right. There's a lot of anxiety. But all of our problems can be solved through kind of normal -- Democratic -- peaceful Democratic means. We still have a great system.

But our system is atrophying because we're not using that system. And soiled point to the leadership of someone whom I admire very much. Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida. He had the same legislature, that Jeb Bush did. He had the same state Constitution.

And yet, he's using power effectively within the law, to make Florida a better state for people to live, work, and raise families.

And so I think we have to really discipline our own coalition, we have to stop engaging in these kind of fantasies, of extra judicial or extra parliamentary politics. And we have to say, if we are going to be the conservative, political party, the conservative political movement, we have to respect the documents that just be smarter. Be more persistent. Be more diligent.

In actually practicing politics. And so there are models out there, that are successful. And I think, we have another model of the kind of more, say, radical, extra constitutional model. That is the dismal failure. It's always been a dismal failure. When the left did it in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with those radical movements, the American people rejected them. If the right does it at any time, now or in the future, the people, the citizens will reject them.

It's a dead end. And we need media figures, that are kind of telling people to straighten out. To have self-discipline. To remind people of the constitutional principles that we're fighting for. And then to lay out a plausible plan.

Because people get desperate, when they think we have no other options. So it's our responsibility to show them the concrete options, not just spin out into conspiracy land.

GLENN: So, Chris, I do not -- I do not -- I don't listen to anybody else. I don't watch anybody else.

I read. But I have tried to cut my reading back to about four hours a day.

Because it's just poison. It's just all poison. But it's part of my job.

I have to read and be informed. So I don't -- but I don't hear things. You -- I am very concerned about just somebody doing something stupid. I'm also very concerned about this very, very small group of people.

That are Christian nationalists. But it's very small.

I am not concerned about the -- the average listener, if you will.


CHRIS: Correct.

GLENN: You seem to be -- I don't know if your concern is greater than mine.

And I'm pretty concerned about things. I want to -- I want to judge why -- what is it that you're feeling or is bringing this out, in such a passionate way? I want to make sure I'm not missing it.

CHRIS: Yeah. Well, I think we are approaching a critical period, in our country's history.

And, you know, I think the genesis of my comments. Was this -- you know, blowup between Candace Owens. And the Daily Wire. You know, Ben Shapiro's publication.

And, you know, I think that -- I tried to be disciplined. In my criticisms. People within our coalition. Within our movement.

But, you know, Candice had been arguing that there are secret gangs of Jews. Murdering people in Hollywood. She had rationalized Kanye West's, you know, kind of deranged antisemitic outbursts. She had been pushing stories about how the president of France's wife is actually a man. And these are stories that drive clicks. They drive controversy.

But they actually don't create anything substantive. And unfortunately, there is a kind of rising group of commentators and media figures. That have figured out, that the way to get cheap attention. Is to put forward stories like these.

And I just think that, we have to be, of course, kind of tolerant of a range of opinion.

But there also is an out of bound or a limit, that any political movement needs to maintain its own coherence and its own discipline.

GLENN: And you're not talking about censorship. You're just talking about self-control.

CHRIS: That's right. It's first self-discipline, and then it's also giving people a better option.

Of course, I don't think any of these opinions should be censored. They shouldn't be stricken from the record. The government shouldn't have any sway whatsoever.

But I think it's up to us, to have that discerning judgment. And to also show people, why this is such a limitation.

Why -- why it actually is not helpful.

And to get people out of this outrage cycle, that depletes them, and into a cycle of participation and politics in a real sense.

You know, politics is not, you know, tweeting conspiracy theories. Politics is actually winning elections. Changing the law. And managing institutions.

And so we needed a movement that is capable of doing that. And if we're not a movement that is capable of doing that, we don't deserve power.

We don't deserve to win, and we don't deserve to have our ideas shaping the law.

GLENN: I am -- we're talking to Christopher Rufo.

I am gravely concerned, that any time between now and really probably January 20th of next year, is the most dangerous place our republic may have ever been.

And that's including in the Civil War. We are -- we are at the edge of losing everything. Somebody does something stupid. We go to war. The economy collapses.

Whatever it is. There is -- there is a real shot, that we lose our freedom. It's happening all -- I mean, look what's happening in Brazil. This is -- this is happening all over the West, right now.

And I know, I have self-edited more than I've ever edited. Because I want to be very careful with my word.

Because I am so concerned, about the cries of dis and miss and malinformation. That will be wrongly pointed in people's direction by the state.

But it's important now, that we are speaking clearly. And as -- and as accurately, as we possibly can.

Do you feel the same way?

CHRIS: I feel the same way, and I'm very concerned about it. And I think this really dovetails nicely with my argument. If we don't have the self-discipline and if we engage in these kind of wild lines of media narratives.

It will provide, you know -- it's fake. But it will provide a kind of rationalization or justification for continued censorship. If the government and organized left, can point to a verifiably false conspiracy theories. They can then use it as justification for censorship.

Obviously, I don't support that. I think you should -- I think everyone has the right to say whatever they want. True, false, good or bad.

But, you know, we have to be realistic about it. And this is a major threat, of getting deplatformed. Of getting debanked.

GLENN: Yep.

CHRIS: Of getting kind of de-anonymized, exposed. And so we have to -- we unfortunately. Look, the New York Times can publish conspiracy theories for three years about Russiagate, they will be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and they'll pay no price when it turns out to be all a pack of lies.

We don't have that luxury. I wish we did. But we have to take the reality for what it is.

We have to be more disciplined. We have to have higher standards. And we have to fight much smarter than our opponents.

That said, the good news, is that when we fight smart, like DeSantis has done in Florida.

There is a wide open vista of possibility for us.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

CHRIS: And we can truly create, you know, what I think of as a counter hegemony. That will create a bulwark or a defense against all of the awful things that the organized left is doing.

GLENN: Christopher Rufo, thank you so much. Thank you for being a friend. Friend of the show. And friend of freedom. Appreciate it.

Why Top Democrats NEED to Face Justice for Their "Trump-Russia" Lies

Hillary Clinton was central in the creation of the fabricated Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax. As new revelations about Clinton and former President Barack Obama now occur, will we ever see justice for their actions? Glenn Beck ponders what it would take to actually have this occur and whether the DC Republicans actually have the spine to ever make it a reality...

TOP SECRET document reveals Russia’s REAL plan for 2016 election?

DNI Tulsi Gabbard has released a top secret document, only ever seen by a handful of people, that appears to reveal the truth about Russiagate: Russia never had dirt on Trump. It had dirt on Hillary Clinton ...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I received a -- a -- what's called embargoed document, early this morning.

And it was embargoed until about two hours ago.

And so we spent the last two hours, trying to go through it. And understand what it says.

And it's from Tulsi Gabbard. And it is explosive document.

And you will understand how -- how important this document is. In just a minute. And I'm going to show you tonight, on chalkboard, I'll lay all of this out on the chalkboard tonight.

It's hard to follow, just by talking about it.

STU: Yeah. It will be helpful to have the chalkboard. By the way, you can also get the exact documents online right now. At GlennBeck.com.

Before you go to the new information. I'm trying to see if I trace this back correctly.

Before the election, Trump is -- there are these accusations against Trump. Which are in the Steele dossier. That everyone has inside the government.

And they have already said, there's nothing here.

Right?

These are discredited.

They then have a very surprised election result.

So they were not planning on necessarily using it.

They didn't think they had to.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: But then they lose the election.

And now, afterward, they are trying to think about how to thwart Donald Trump as the president.

GLENN: Yeah. Get him out of office. Or at least shut him down.

STU: Shut him down.

They are planning on releasing a PDP to the president.

Which will be on record to everybody. Including Trump and Flynn.

That says nothing there, with the Russians. There's nothing there.

GLENN: Yeah. Electronically.

STU: Electronically.

Nothing there. And they then, before that anxiety out, Obama or --

GLENN: It was Obama. No. It was Obama. It was on record.

We have it documented.

STU: That he said, look, let's delay. Let's have a meeting first. Don't put that in writing. Okay?

They have some meeting. They decide, in that meeting, that they are going to present this, instead as actually the Russians are trying to help Trump.

We have -- and the evidence for this is the Steele dossier.

GLENN: Correct. Which they all knew would have been discredited. Or it would have been released earlier.

STU: Right. CIA and FBI have problems with this. They express these problems in writing. They say, hey. What information do we have?

GLENN: Right.

STU: In writing. Brennan says, we don't have any information. We are moving forward. This is what the president wants.

That new briefing, finds its way into the New York Times the next day. Right?

From, quote, unquote, intelligence sources.

GLENN: Probably Brennan.

STU: Which lays the groundwork for everything that happens after.

GLENN: Correct. Okay.

So now, Obama says yesterday, that, you know, there's nothing here.

There's nothing new.

Apples and oranges.

You're comparing different things.

Okay. Well, that all falls apart, when you see what they didn't put in.

Remember, what they did was they said, Russia was in the bag for Donald Trump. And he's going to be a puppet, because they have so much dirt on him. As found in the Steele dossier.

Okay?

But here's what we did have. And this is the released memo.

You have to read. Just for history. You have to just look at it.

Because there's probably only 25 people in the world, that had seen this document. Okay?

STU: Before today.

GLENN: Before today.

This document, there were only five paper copies.

It is so top secret.

That it was not allowed to be put on any kind of digital format. And it was all kept in the highest level safe. Okay?

Donald Trump saw it, at the end of his administration.

This is the document that he said, I want that released.

And then they didn't release it. Remember?

On his last day, he's like, I want this -- I declassified it.

At this particular time released. After he left office, they didn't declassify it.

And they didn't release it.

And it is also most likely, the document that they were looking for, when they went to Mar-a-Lago.

Because that Mar-a-Lago raid, made no sense.

Made no sense.

This happens all the time.

Every president, as you saw with Joe Biden. What?

Three days later, he had stuff in his garage that was top secret.

They were looking for go particular.

And what they were looking for is this document. This document now is at GlennBeck.com, released two hours ago. The -- this is the highest level of top secret we have. So what's in the document?

The document details SDR, which is the Russian foreign intelligence service. And the reports from 2016, from Russia, about the hacking of the DNC. Remember? They were hacked?

And nobody could figure out with who can hacked them. And there was never anything about -- and everybody was like, what. There's no big deal. No big deal.

Why was that no big deal. Do you remember that?

And nobody seemed to care about it.

It was like, really, no big deal.

Well, in this report. It shows, it was a very big deal.

Because out of that hacking, the Russian foreign service, at least this is the information they got from Intel. On the Russian foreign service.

That they had the Intel now, that Obama and the Democratic leaders were -- and I'm quoting, extraordinarily alarmed about Clinton's health, calling it a potential serious negative impact on her chances. Type 2 Diabetes. Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Plus, listen to this.

I'm quoting: Intensified psycho emotional problems. Uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness.

That last one is -- I mean, I would have said, this has no credibility at all.

I've never seen her -- she was also, according to the intelligence, that they got from the Russians, based on the DNC hacks, she was allegedly also on heavy tranquilizers every day. Obsessed with power.

And afraid of losing.

Russia also knew about the alleged secret meetings where Clinton allegedly offered State Department favors to religious groups for campaign support.

Ethical scandals galore, including pressure on the FBI, over her email probe. Via high-ranking DOJ official. Russia had all of this. All of this.

And then we had the Steele dossier.

From a discredited FBI source, that said, Russia has pictures of him giving golden showers.

Now, they are saying, the Steele dossier. Which they had already discredited.

Obama says, go back, they said, we have no new information.

Go back, and use this.

And show that Russia was trying to get Trump to win.

He was trying to help Hillary Clinton lose, because he had all this dirt on Hillary Clinton. On Donald Trump.

So he could be a puppet.

But the facts, showed the exact opposite.

Now, does this sound familiar?

This is what the left always does. Whatever they're accusing us of doing, they're doing.

The Russians actually had all the dirt from the DNC hacking, or at least we believed they had it.

This official Russian report.

That they had all the dirt on Hillary Clinton.

Now, if Putin was really trying to win, why wouldn't he drop these nukes?

Why wouldn't he have pushed these things out?

Instead, they seek milder stuff.

And they are trying to undermine democracy overall.

They're trying to split us.

They're not electing Trump.

They're trying to divide us.

They don't -- they think Hillary Clinton is going to win.

And they think that this is going to be good for them. Because they have all of this stuff.

They also, according to sources, they're also kind of afraid of her.

Because she seems unstable. Okay? So what does Obama did? He says that Russian actions show, they have a clear preference for Trump. But they admit all of the reports from Putin's advisers, warning a Trump win, could mean a Republican Congress, hostile to Russia.

Remember, we said, Donald Trump is more -- he's stronger on Russia than any president has been since maybe Reagan.

What are you talking about? He likes Russia. He's really strong against Russia. In compared to anybody else.

Remember, Hillary Clinton was like, I'm going to do a reset. The Steele dossier, is then shoe horning. Being shoe horned in to this document, as delicious reporting on Putin's intentions. Despite the CIA's intentions, despite the CIA vets who are going into Brennan's office on the record.

We have documents proving that they went to and said, you can't do this!

This is -- this is DNC opposition research. Unverifiable hearsay. Fabricated claims. Regurgitated media stories. You can't do this.

Steele has been fired from the FBI because he was lying to the FBI.

And you can't -- you're going to misrepresent it as legitimate Intel from an FBI source. With a layered network, and omit all bias.

All the payments. All of the sub sources that are unknown and unvetted.

And we are going to also not include the stuff, that we know they have from the DNC hack about Hillary Clinton?

Brennan's response to his team is, yeah. But on Donald Trump.

Doesn't that ring true?

Well, no.

That's not facts. That's an opinion.

That's advocacy.

Doesn't that ring true.

That's not the way. And they point this out.

That's not the way.

That's a violate of how we do Intel.

So Obama orders the new guidance, limited coordination, no broad peer review at all, and a publish before Trump takes off office.

This is a coup. This is a lie. This was all manufactured. Now, Obama denies all of it. But today, only five copies existed only in paper.

And they were all in the most confidential safe of the United States government.

And released to two hours ago.

That show all of this!

So why hide the part about Clinton?

If you were actually doing something. You could say, we have this from the Steele dossier.

But we also have this, we know Russia has, on Hillary Clinton.

But they don't do that.

Instead, they say, Trump is a Russia puppet.

And completely leave out, that what they're really wanting is to be the puppeteer of Hillary Clinton.

It's all released today.

You tell me.

Does this matter?

Does the president -- the former president of the United States, instructing the CIA to change course. To allow them, and encourage them to leave out really important facts.

Use something that had already been discredited.

And then within a few hours, before anyone of this had been done, start a whisper campaign, and leak to the New York Times, that CIA officials are now looking into some pretty serious charges about Donald Trump.

This was planned and coordinated. And it goes all the way to Mar-a-Lago.

Because this is the document they thought he might have.

They to get rid of this document. They did not want him to release this document.

But don't worry, if we get it out of his hands. Which he didn't have.

If we get it out of his hands, well, we'll put him in jail. So he will never be able to tell this story anyway.

And the -- the DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, comes out today, and releases this document.

It's all at GlennBeck.com.

And we will have the full chalkboard on this, tonight, at 9 o'clock.
