It certainly was true in pe petersberg and in berlin were raised by the invading soviet red army in retrobution from a what the russian soldiers had done.

Plus your phone calls and tweets. Next, glenn beck on his book it is about islam and he spoke at the freedomfest last month. His book comes out next week. Host glenn beck, it is about islam, why do you open with Thomas Jefferson in the library of congress . Jefferson changed my life. He wrote a letter to his nephew peter car and peter was 13 or 15, i dont know remember, somewhere in that area. His mother had died and his father was about to die. His father went to thomas and said thomas will you oversee the ed ed education of my son when i pass on and he said sure. Peter comes of age and writes this beautiful letter in mathematics learn this, when it comes to literature never read a book from outside of the native tone because you will lose too much. The last one is religion and with he said above religion stick reasons in her seat and question with boldness even the very existence of god for there to be a god he would rather have questions over blindfolded fear. That changed by life. That coupled for the fact Thomas Jefferson fought the 1st war against islam in the office. He had the barbary pirates. He was trying to understand what they want. He owns one of the first copies in enlish of the koran. He was a scholar and Read Everything in native tongue when he could. He tried to be as fair as he could. And he read the entire koran. This is a good place to start is his example but we should all read the koran. Dont take this from me. We have in the book all of our notes and flip notes. Dont take it from me. This is what we have found. We have gone to the original sources. It is not my opinion. You further that investigation yourself but ask honest questions not trying to prove and question the existence of god while you are doing it. Host jefferson sighted islam from a why virginia shouldnt have an official religion. Guest yes, and at the same time he was projecting a religion like islam. Saying the attitude and the difference between islam and islamist and that is important. One who believes i know great reformers of islam that want to believe that their religion is peaceful and want to have a peaceful existence with everyone else. Then other group wants sharia law. Host you quote contrary to public misconception islam does not mean peace but rather submission to the commands of allah. Guest what we tried to do is show the people who actually do believe if i said to you, lets go take on the nazis. And you insisted it wasnt about nationalism or socialism you would just say these people are crazy. Well, i dont get to their ideaology and stop them. Hitler was crazy but a lot of people based their understanding of socialism. People in denmark are nazis are they . They were National Socialist and it was that combination that brought us the nazi world. Doesnt make every socialist a nazi. We have to find the people calling for our death, quoting the koran and say we are about islam. We cannot deny what they say. If you want to defeat them you have to know them. Host this is part of your control series. What is that . Guest we did a book on the Second Amendment then we did one on common core. Trying to correct some of the information out there. It is not a series that is not a lot of my opinion in this. This is the facts. We try to make them in paper back and small so people can carry it with them. Well, one of the things you did in this bock, it is about islam, you listed 13 lies about islam in the book. And number five was america is safe from sharia law. Guest its not. We have a court case in the book from new jersey where a judge ruled that he could have sex with his wife even though she said no because it was his religious right to do so. And the judge sighted with him. We dont have two standards of law. And where i live down in texas just outside of dallas the City Council Just voted and it was a 54 decision, it almost passed, and what the resolution was we only respect american laws. And texas laws. That is it. We are respecter of no other laws. That almost didnt pass. And the reason why is there is a Muslim Community there, some of them are muslim brotherhood, and they are setting up their own Little Council to be able to work with the people in their religion as the arb arbitration of two sets of laws. Host in your new home state of texas you had an event. The mohammed cartoon contest is happening. What is your take on that . Guest should that happen . Yeah, it is america, i guess. I am not a fan of it. I am an ultimate freedom guy. I believe we all have the right to do things. Should we do it . No, she is trying to prove a point that you could get killed by doing that. I think we all know that. I think the push back on her was obscene but i didnt attend nor would i have attended. But you have the right to do it. Should you . Probably not. But with that being said i respect the fact there are some things we better wake up to and that is what i think the ultimate goal was here. Was wake up america. There are people. It was about five years ago that you held a rally down on the National Ball in washington and that they planned for the future. Any similar events . I do. It is kind of on lists and im greatly concerned about a couple of things. 1i dont have any answers militarily or anything else for the middle east. Thats a mess. You cant export our freedom and bring it to people who dont want it. But, on the other hand, we have a genocide that is going on. I had one of the rabbis come to my office in texas and asked me, im a big supporter and ive been crying out about the anti semitism. Now things like things are starting to happen and people are starting to wake up. He came to my office right after france did he said glenn, we do me a favor . Favor . I need you not to focus so much, please, on just whats happening to the jews. I said, excuse me rabbi. Are you seeing whats happening . He said theyre coming for you first. He said whats happening with isis in the middle east is a genocide. A genocide. This time you guys are getting at first. Im trying to wake the jewish people up to show whats happening to the christians. Im gravely concerned about whats happening there and im also concerned that we have hardened our hearts and i openly admit that i played a role in the divisiveness of our country and thats not good. Im currently going through, this is the only interview and im giving a speech tonight, and i hope to not be speaking to as much. You can hear my voice, its a little rocky. Ive been having some issues with my voice and other Health Issues for the last five years and that kind of clarifies things. That puts you into perspective when you think you may not speak again. You may not have long to work or live. What are you doing with your life . And its clarifying. We are, any role i have played, im trying to make up for. We for. We are in a very dangerous situation where we are not seeing people as people anymore. Someone asked me this morning, whats your take on bruce jenner . Whats the societal answer for that . Do you want to be bruce jenner . How would you feel if you live your whole life that way. I dont know what to say. I dont think society knows what to say and how to deal with it but i think and hope we all have compassion for the man and we all can say i dont necessarily think he is a woman. I think hes a man or i do think hes a woman, but we can all look at him and agree and say we have to have compassion and heart for one another. Whats happening in the middle east, no one is paying attention. These are innocent children, women and in the book we talk about nineyearold girls being slip sold into into slavery. 9yearold girls for 170. Does anybody care about that . How about the homosexuals were being thrown off holdings are ripped apart or stoned to death in a rand . A war on gays . Yes with isis and iran. We are at at and a negotiating table saying they are normal and can coexist with western society. Not while your killing may gays. Not while your stoning women to death and crucifying children. No, i dont think so. I dont have a political answer or a military answer, but i do have this, we better have this, we better Start Connecting with one another. We better start standing up, stop worrying about your rights, lets worry about our responsibilities to protect the rights of other people. Lets stop worrying about us. Lets start worrying about the person most unlike you. You know, i went to new york and i called a meeting with the head people about four months ago. They were shocked. It was uncomfortable, you know. Know. We dont have a lot to talk about. Even though, i am for gay marriage, i believe the government doesnt have a right to be in your life and tell you anything about marriage, so in that way im for gay marriage. Religiously, im not. But thats my decision. My world is my world in your world is your world. We sat down and i said, can we stop talking about weddings. How about about we stand together for whats happening in russia where they are now taking drivers license away from homosexual and saying that is a mental disorder. How about we stand up against that. How about we stand up against isis and those in iran and saudi arabia, those all across the middle east who are killing people. Let stand together. So this august down in birmingham alabama, where the last civil right movement started, im asking people to come together of all different faith and belief in all different walks of life that can say, you know why, my political interest may differ from you, but my principles are the same. We have to stop talking about interests and Start Talking about principles. On saturday the 29th we are going to have a march on the same street that Martin Luther king did. I believe i have bruce graham, Billy Grahams daughter joining me on the other arm and we have thousands of pastors coming from all over of all different religions and people coming from all over, and then were going to start putting that into action. I believe its time for people of all walks of life to stand up and raise their hand and say, you know know what, we have to stop the hatred. We have to stop, we have to stop jamming our points of view down other peoples throat and start seeing people for other human beings again. The easiest one we can unite unite on are those people in the middle east. The the muslim who arent muslim enough, the gays, the christians and the women who are being crucified. Lets start there on an easy one and stand together and say lets stand against that. Anything significant about august 28 and 29th . Yes, august 28 is the anniversary of Martin Luther kings i have a dream speech we didnt pick that intentionally five years ago. I announced it and five minutes after announcing the New York Times said, tweeted out glenn back takes Martin Luther king. I thought geez, how can i not know that. But that. But now we are embracing it. Islam is not much different than christianity or judaism. Its radically different. The biggest difference is it doesnt have a reformation. If you dont have a reformation you are still living in the stone age. There are people who want to reform islam but the law doesnt allow you to take whatever the common consensus is. So if if all the scholars say no, this is who we are, they can kill you for trying to reform. I mean this sounds very barbaric but it sounds like christianity 1000 years ago. Weve had our reformation. There are great muslims who want their reparation but its not happening. By us denying that there is the struggle within islam, were hurting the reformers. We are we are trapping them in stone age. Glenn back, you have 25 books under your belt. I dont know. What is your writing writing process . It depends. I put this one to bed the same time i put another one to bed. I have another book thats coming out and its very different. This is almost like jon stewart, how john stuart rights. I set up a table and i said these are the things i want to focus on. Thats why we start really with the if you dont understand that islam, isis and the republic of iran believe that the end times are upon us, if i said that as a christian, hey, jesus is coming back, everyone would say i was crazy. If i said jesus is coming back and to help him come back, even more crazy. Jesus is coming back and im in a help him come back by causing chaos around the world and killing people around the world now im dangerously psychotic but because its a protected islam saying it no one pays attention to it. Or maybe we have such a low standard for the people in the middle east that we think it doesnt really matter, but they believe they are on the verge of armageddon and its their job to bring it upon us. So i set the table and i say, i want to find out all the details and get the best quality we can and oversee that and then we put the bet book together. The other style of book is one done entirely by me. And that is the example is the immortals. That that will not be its name when it comes out but its due at christmas time. Do at christmas time. We have an unbelievable community. There is a deeply passionate, underserved and misunderstood group of people in america that will recognize america in a different way than they may have ten or 15 years ago. They will recognize that we as a nation have made mistakes. We we as a nation are currently making mistakes. That may be people like me who saw war in 2002, now and under bush, very antiwar. We have woken up and thats the community that we serve. That is a great, really solid group of people. Would you like to see president obama or president whoever, what would you like to see them do about boko haram, isis, al qaeda . I dont know. I mean, we are in such a bad state right now. We have fumbled so badly that im not sure. Im certainly not in commander qualified enough. My gut is that at some point we will have to deal with it. I dont, im offended that our military is still over there. Im offended because most americans dont even know where they are, what theyre doing or more importantly, why they are doing it. Why. Why are we killing people today . For what . For what, really . If we really mean were going to stop isis, unfortunately that means youre going to have to do things like we did in world war ii. Youre going to have to raise the flag just like we did in germany. Do you have a stomach for that . I dont think the American People have a stomach for that and i dont want to kill another person until we know what it is. Why are we killing people . I dont know. I did in 2002. I lost it about 2006. Im completely baffled now. Stop, bring our troops home. Were going to have to go back but only when we know and have the balls to say who the enemy really is. Thats the enemy and there is no compromise. There is no well they had a hard time. No they are are psychotic killers. Just like the nazis. Killers. Wended the fumbling start . Oh, early on. They are trying to nation build in afghanistan. Right from the start. That is that is not our job. Youre never going to take and bring our republic to people in afghanistan who dont necessarily even know what it is or want it. What are we doing . What are we doing . We should have gone in, got the bad guys and got out. I think the best thing america should do is when we fight a war, we know exactly what were doing. We know know exactly who we are after, what a win looks like, make it fast, make people walk away and say dont ever mess with those guys because theyll take you down and they will not ever rebuild that you. Thats not our job. We dont want to go to war and we dont want to rebuild you either. You either. You do your thing will do our thing. We talk to an author yesterday and he said in his view, saudi arabia is a powder cake waiting to explode. Oh my god. Saudi arabia, i cant believe there are allies. Thats the biggest problem we have as a country in the world. Would you want to be friends with us . Do you know what we stand for . I dont. I dont. I know know what our constitution stands for, but i dont know what our parties stand for, i dont know what our government stands for. I know what our people do. Our people generally vote republican, democrat, independent. Its all pretty good. But government tends to stand for power and money and control, but thats not america. When we get into bed with saudi arabia or lubar eric, where are our principles there . We are going to send them over there for prison for torture because we dont torture. Thats insane. If youre standing there and your loved one has been put into the prison by the United States, what you think of the United States . Are they the freedom loving guys . No. We dont apparently give a flying crap about anything but us. We have to have principles. When have to have principles. When i hear politicians on both sides talk about well, its in our National Interest, our National Interest can change. Our Hidden History<\/a> of america at war by kenneth c. Dav davis.

Youre never going to take and bring our republic to people in afghanistan who dont necessarily even know what it is or want it. What are we doing . What are we doing . We should have gone in, got the bad guys and got out. I think the best thing america should do is when we fight a war, we know exactly what were doing. We know know exactly who we are after, what a win looks like, make it fast, make people walk away and say dont ever mess with those guys because theyll take you down and they will not ever rebuild that you. Thats not our job. We dont want to go to war and we dont want to rebuild you either. You either. You do your thing will do our thing. We talk to an author yesterday and he said in his view, saudi arabia is a powder cake waiting to explode. Oh my god. Saudi arabia, i cant believe there are allies. Thats the biggest problem we have as a country in the world. Would you want to be friends with us . Do you know what we stand for . I dont. I dont. I know know what our constitution stands for, but i dont know what our parties stand for, i dont know what our government stands for. I know what our people do. Our people generally vote republican, democrat, independent. Its all pretty good. But government tends to stand for power and money and control, but thats not america. When we get into bed with saudi arabia or lubar eric, where are our principles there . We are going to send them over there for prison for torture because we dont torture. Thats insane. If youre standing there and your loved one has been put into the prison by the United States<\/a>, what you think of the United States<\/a> . Are they the freedom loving guys . No. We dont apparently give a flying crap about anything but us. We have to have principles. When have to have principles. When i hear politicians on both sides talk about well, its in our National Interest<\/a>, our National Interest<\/a> can change. Our National Interest<\/a>s do change all the time. My interest this morning was to have a big stack of waffles. My interest right now is not so much. They change. What are your principles . Nobody talks about our principles anymore and because we dont even know our principles, what you think the rest of the world thinks . Of course they want to kill us. What if they do. We are part of the problem. Were you believe that homosexuals shouldnt be killed.
