ACTUAL LINKS HERE - HISTORY and TRUTH
GLENN: The left is rejecting Bruce Jenner because he has said he is a Republican. And the Republicans are the ones that have always been the sticks in the mud. The Republicans are the ones that have the problems. They’re the racists. They’re the haters. I just want to go through history. And I want to take you — I want to take you from 18 — 1862 to 1870. 1871. And I just want to — I want to show you the roots of the Republican Party. What was — why — who was the first Republican president? Abraham Lincoln. The Republican Party started in the 1850s. It gathered steam because there was enough — listen to this. There were enough Whigs and enough Democrats that afternoon that what was happening with slaves was wrong. And they knew the Whigs and the Democrats wouldn’t do anything. Congress was just stalled on it and wouldn’t do anything. Does this sound familiar? Finally on both sides, they said enough is enough.
And within a decade, they had nominated and elected the first Republican president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln. And had you seen him? Not an easy election. January 1st, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation has been issued in 1862. January 1, 1863, it starts. And they begin to implement the Republicans Confiscation Act of 1862. The Democratic party continues to support slavery. February 9th, 1864, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton deliver over 100,000 signatures to US Senate supporting — when you think — when you hear those two names. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton, which party do you think of? It’s women’s rights. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton deliver over 100,000 signatures to the U.S. Senate supporting the Republican plan for the constitutional amendment to ban slavery.

Republicans pushing for it. Republicans voting for it. Democrats fighting against it. People like Al Gore Sr. fighting against it. People like Lyndon Baines Johnson, HEP the hero of the left, fighting against it at first. GLENN: People saw some of that if they saw Selma. They saw how racist this guy was.

They are — they are playing this card again. And this time, we have to stand up for ourselves. This time we have to stand up and say, enough is enough. I know your record. I know who you are. See, I have in the vaults, here at the Mercury Studios. I have the anti-Democratic and anti-Republican literature that went back and forth. The Republicans used to defend themselves.
They used to say, I’ve had enough! Here’s the record! Here’s who we are! Here who you are. Why are we defending our record? Our record is fine. Why are we defending our record? We should be putting them on the offense and asking them to explain their record, in Detroit, in Cleveland, in Philadelphia, in Washington. In every city that they have destroyed. Why are we having to explain ourselves? Now they’re doing it with another class of people. Gays. Women. Remember, it was the Republicans that gave you the right to vote in the first place. The first time, they had to drag the progressives, kicking and screaming. Let’s stop taking it and being quiet. With love and peace and armed with the facts. It’s time to go to battle.
Because it’s only going to get harder from here. When Hillary Clinton says what she said over the weekend, play it, Pat. This is so critical for you to hear. This is a — this is possibly what the press will tell you is the next president of the United States. Hillary Clinton. In a speech just this weekend said this. HILLARY: Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases, have to be changed. PAT: Wow. GLENN: Your deep-seated religious belief has got to change. Game on, gang. It is here.
